    Chapter 1: The Magical World

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In the history section of the city library, which had not been visited by anyone for a long time and was covered in a thickyer of dust, a youngster was looking for something.

    "No... still no..."

    The youngster muttered to himself, somewhat disappointed.

    Shaking his head, he shut the book.

    "Rustle!"

    A burst of stabbing pain.

    A long bloody cut appeared on his hand.

    "This again..."

    The youngster smiled bitterly. He was already being very prudent. However, he had not expected that he would actually be wounded by the page of a book. He was not surprised; to be exact, he was actually used to it.

    His name was Chen Feng, 22 years old this year, and since the day he was born, bad luck had apanied him. When he had just passed his first birthday, he almost choked to death while drinking milk. At three years old, his mother passed away. At five years old, his father passed away. At 10 years old, the welfare home he was in went bankrupt. Subsequently, he was sent to other welfare homes. All in all, until he reached adulthood, a total of 13 welfare homes had gone bankrupt for various reasons after he joined.

    Apart from this, idents would happen every time he left his house. Based on his iplete statistics, he had been extorted under false pretenses by olddies 85 times, involved in car idents 36 times, patronized by thieves 76 times, fallen into the sewers 10 times, and been chased and bitten by dogs 15 times. To have struggled and stayed alive until now was a miracle in itself.

    Comparatively, the events of today were nothing at all.

    His goal ining here today was to look for the legendary "Fortune Artifact."

    He did not believe in something like luck. However, his experiences since childhood had left him with no choice except to believe that, in this world, luck existed, while what had been apanying him all his life was bad luck! Hence, ever since he was capable of thought, he had gone through records of all mythologies, looking for things capable of changing luck!

    Luck-changing bead, jade carp, four-leaf clover...

    He tried everything representing luck, but none of them worked!

    His bad luck never changed.

    Up until a certain day, when he saw some records from the materials his deceased father had left behind¡ªFate Stone. In the legends, those possessing it would have their fate changed.

    His father had been an archaeologist. Having been an archaeologist his whole life, he had not unearthed any valuable remains and had instead turned into remains due to archeology. He had not left behind much information about the Fate Stone. All these years, Chen Feng had been to all sorts of strange ces. However, the so called Fate Stone was never found.

    "That thing... really exists?"

    He was very doubtful.

    His request really wasn¡¯t too big. He only wanted to live a normal life like an ordinary person, that was all.

    However...

    Life?

    No, merely being alive was difficult enough. He had to be totally alert every time he left his house. Even the tiniest bit of ck could cost him his life while he was on his way.

    As far as he was concerned, everywhere in the world was a battlefield.

    "Where are you, exactly?"

    He sighed, calmly took out some alcohol from his schoolbag to disinfect his wound, and wrapped his hand in gauze. As someone who was injured on a daily basis, his schoolbag itself was a first-aid kit.

    The sky had turned dark.

    The library would be closing soon. As Chen Feng prepared to leave, his foot slipped. He staggered and knocked against the bookshelf beside him, causing a pile of books to crash down on him.

    "Damn."

    Chen Feng cursed silently.

    He knew things could not proceed so smoothly!

    He looked at the ce where he had slipped; there were some water stains on the floor. He lifted his head; the roof was leaking water due to the years of disrepair at this ce.

    "Seriously..."

    Chen Feng smiled helplessly.

    Bad luck once again demonstrated its use.

    Aching all over, he got up and prepared to leave when he was suddenly stunned. Within the pile of ancient books that had crashed into him, one of the books attracted his sight.

    Book name¡ªFortune.

    "This thing..."

    Chen Feng was somewhat curious. There was actually a book about luck?

    He carefully opened the book; there was a lengthy introduction on all sorts of strange fortunes. From cosmos and astrology to horoscopes, they were topics Chen Feng had seen before in other books. The majority of the contents were nonsense. This book was more like one of those pirated 20-yuan mixed-content books.

    "I really did think too much."

    Chen Feng gave a self-mocking smile, but then his expression suddenly froze.

    This was due to him flipping to a new page where a particr name appeared on it: Fate Stone!

    Regardless of which ancient book the contents were pirated from, it was no longer important, since the introductions on the Fate Stone were actually extremely detailed.

    Fate Stone: Rumored to be a luck-changing artifact.

    It was rumored that there was a type of force that reigned above other ordinary forces. It could not be seen or understood yet influenced everything. Until now, nobody knew what kind of force it was. It was only known that it might be rted to luck, while the Fate Stone had the power to control it!

    "It really exists!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s mouth became dry with excitement.

    Reading along the introductions, he flipped to the next page and his eyes abruptly became wide open!

    What appeared on this page was a picture of the Fate Stone. This was also Chen Feng¡¯s first time looking at the true appearance of the Fate Stone, and he was totally dumbfounded.

    It was a coin-sized object with strange engravings on it.

    "This is the Fate Stone?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s voice shuddered; not due to how this object looked, but due to this object... Chen Feng¡¯s somewhat trembling hand pulled on his cor, exposing the object he was wearing on his neck. This was actually the Fate Stone described in the book!

    "How is this possible?"

    Chen Feng was shocked.

    He had actually been wearing the Fate Stone all along?

    This was what his father had unearthed back when he was an archaeologist. When he was born, his father gifted it to him. This was also the only relic his father had left behind; it was actually the Fate Stone? However, if it was the Fate Stone, why did he have such bad luck?

    Fake?

    Or maybe this was a counterfeit object his father had made?

    Chen Feng held his sudden shock and continued reading.

    It was rumored that the Fate Stone possessed extraordinary power. However, it was not easy to use. Before the Fate Stone was activated, it would continuously absorb luck from its surroundings and could only be activated after it had absorbed enough luck. Therefore, without sufficient capability to activate it, possessing the Fate Stone would be a nightmare for you.

    "F*ck!"

    Chen Feng couldn¡¯t stop bursting out swearing.

    To absorb the surrounding¡¯s luck?

    He was ice-cold all over as he finally understood where his bad luck came from! This Fate Stone, unearthed by his father in an old tomb, had snatched everything he had!

    "This thing..."

    Chen Feng subconsciously wanted to pull it off; however, he couldn¡¯t move it.

    This was the only relic his father had left behind, and also his only spiritual support. Something he never took off. He did not expect that at this moment, when he wanted to take it off, he totally couldn¡¯t!

    "Conventional methods can¡¯t be used to take it off?"

    Chen Feng calmed down and continued reading once again.

    Once the Fate Stone had been put on, it couldn¡¯t be removed. Only when it was activated could one control its power. If you identally obtained it, well, just activate it.

    Following which, the activation method was provided behind the page.

    Chen Feng looked at it. It was not too difficult. He only needed to arrange a formation with his own blood and ce the Fate Stone in the middle of the formation.

    "So simple?"

    Chen Feng frowned.

    He felt that something was wrong. However, getting rid of this damned bad luck was too enticing. Even in his dreams, he dreamed of discarding his bad luck and having his own life.

    "Let¡¯s just try."

    Chen Feng took off his gauze.

    Blood flowing along his finger, he drew a bizarre formation on the wooden floor. Chen Feng¡¯s face was extremely solemn as hey on the floor, facing downward, and ced the Fate Stone in the formation.

    "Hum..."

    A bizarre radiance shed.

    Chen Feng¡¯s mind jolted violently.

    Sess!

    The blood-formed formation changed into a flickering red light while breathtaking lights blossomed out of the Fate Stone. In the midst of his excitement, Chen Feng saw a row of small letters appearing from the red lights: "At the moment of activation, the Fate Stone will absorb all luck in the surroundings to fill up the energy requirements of the Fate Stone¡¯s operation."

    Not good!

    Chen Feng¡¯splexion changed greatly.

    Absorbing all luck? It was not written in this damnable pirated book! The Fate Stone was not activated even after absorbing luck for 20 years. What would happen if it were to finish absorbing all the required luck in a single moment?

    He had no idea!

    Escape!

    Chen Feng did not hesitate as he turned around and started running outside.

    However, at this very moment in the library, the earth quaked and the mountains shook!

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    It was an earthquake!

    Before Chen Feng could escape, he had already been submerged by boulders as darkness fell upon his eyes and he lost his consciousness. He could vaguely remember a bright golden light shing out of the Fate Stone hanging on his neck.

    Nighttime.

    A certain news channel.

    "This evening at 6:00 PM, a slight earthquake happened in the city. The library copsed, causing one casualty. Based on the rted department¡¯s investigation, this might be rted to a jerry-built building project..."

    ***

    A patch of darkness before his eyes.

    A burst of primordial chaos in his consciousness.

    After a long time.

    Chen Feng regained his consciousness and slowly opened his eyes. The vague world be clear, yet it was still pitch ck. There was a strange, fishy smell in his surroundings.

    "Where is this?"

    Chen Feng looked around doubtfully.

    Darkness enveloped his surroundings while the faint flickering light on his wrist was only enough to let him see that this was a cave. Regardless of distance, there was only darkness around him.

    "Weird, I thought I died?"

    Chen Feng was shocked.

    Looking at the flickering glimmer on his wristband and sensing the memory that did not belong to him, he suddenly understood.

    He had transmigrated!

    Back then, he had investigated all sorts of mythology records. Naturally, he had also read a lot of novels. He somewhat understood as he recalled the golden light before his death. The Fate Stone absorbed all the luck, causing an earthquake. However, the sessful activation of the Fate Stone had led to him barely escaping death and transmigrating here.

    "I survived!"

    Chen Feng was excited.

    It was natural for him to be excited, because that damned bad luck had finally disappeared. However, what world was this, exactly? Right at this moment, the memories of the body¡¯s original ownerpletely emerged.

    Chen Feng went through the memories and immediately gasped in amazement.

    This world was somewhat simr to Earth, yet still not the same. After a big breakthrough in gene research, the whole world entered the era of genes. Mankind could not only unlock their own potential, they could even fuse their genes with gically mutated life forms. Almost everyone could possess gic abilities!

    Some people relied on these abilities forbor and became the industry elite. Some people obtained exceedingly powerfulbat abilities after gene fusion and were known as gic warriors.

    The world thus changed.

    The emergence of gic abilities allowed the whole world to enter a high-speed growth stage.

    Furthermore, this world¡¯s situation was different than Earth¡¯s, where humans had no option but to seek resources on others due to resource exhaustion.

    This continent, this, was mankind¡¯s biggest wealth! This world possessed its own moon and sun. This was a ce that closely resembled Earth, apart from its size. This¡¯s size was a countless number of timesrger than Earth. The continent was wide and vast, more than 10,000 timesrger than Earth.

    There was no shortage of resources in this world!

    That was because, up until now, the continent was only 18% developed!

    Even though mankind¡¯s technology level was sufficient to easily perform space travel, there were still a lot of ces on this that humans did not dare to set foot in!

    For example, the Primordial Icefield of Extreme North!

    It was rumored that the ce was influenced by some sort of special ability that caused time to almost stop. Those who stepped in there would be forever unable to leave! The Gic Union once dispatched a small squad of gic warriors there, and their whereabouts were lost forever.

    For example, the Volcano of Skyburn Summit!

    It was rumored that an ancient mutated beast was asleep there. It once drank a river dry with a single gulp. From then onward, that ce became mankind¡¯s forbidden area.

    Simr ces could be found everywhere.

    This was a dangerous world. Yet it was also a magical world!

    Overflowing lights shed through Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    This world was even more exciting than his imagination!

    Furthermore...

    This was only part of it.

    ording to the original owner¡¯s memory, the magical era of genes also birthed a myriad of amazing technological equipment.

    Some people fused genes without end and ended up possessing exceedingly highbat ability. There were also some who, by fusing genes without end, obtained mystical gic abilities!

    For example, the¡¯srgest technologypany Stormtech¡¯s founder, Luo Yuan.

    His ability was digitization. The holder could release a mysterious ability to monitor the condition of their genes and spiritual condition; it could even predict the techniques you possessed ording to your muscle memory. Due to this being a nonbat gene, he was once looked down on by countless people.

    However, Luo Yuan went through years of experiments and extracted that abstruse and mysterious energy to be produced into a wristband that everyone could wear, bing a legend of the generation!

    Just by activating the wristband, you could monitor your own condition.

    Hence, up to the present day, this world was not only in the era of genes, it was also in the era of data!

    "Is it really so magical?"

    Chen Feng curiously reached toward his left wrist, and a screen suddenly appeared.

    "Buzz¡ª"

    The ck wristband trembled lightly and a force circted within his body before quickly returning to the wristband. On the screen, new data appeared.

    ------

    Strength: 10

    Agility: 10

    Physique: 10

    Spirit: 30

    Endurance: 10/10 (every 1 point of physique increases the maximum endurance by 1 point)

    Spiritual Energy: 30/30 (every 1 point of spirit increases the maximum spiritual energy by 1 point)

    Gic abilities:

    Wind de: Creating a dance out of violent wind. Form a formation using spiritual energy and release a wind-formed de, dealing a certain amount of damage. Small probability (initial estimate 5%) to continuously release wind des.

    General function:

    A low levelbat technique possessing a certain degree of lethality. (Judged in ordance with your muscle memory and spiritual memory assessment, coupled with the memory database. It should be stored within the wristband chip. To guarantee your safety, it should not be connected to thework. Please update the data consistently to guarantee data uracy.)

    Special ability:

    Luck Aura. Exhausting the luck value within the Fate Stone, able to greatly increase luck within a short period of time. Bnce of luck value: 10 points. (The Fate Stone formed its energy by absorbing the world¡¯s energy. Based on evaluation of the current world, one point of luck value can be obtained per hour.)

    ------

    This was the digitized version of himself!

    The basic attributes were units of measurement based on the most primitive of human strength. The ability to clearly show everyone¡¯s condition was magical, but what Chen Feng cared about the most was nevertheless the final special ability.

    "Luck Aura?"

    Chen Feng was astonished.

    He had thought that the Fate Stone had disappeared. Never had he expected that the Fate Stone had actually merged with him.

    The moment he saw the remaining luck value of 10 points, Chen Feng managed to vaguely guess that at his moment of death, when the library copsed, the Fate Stone had unleashed all of its stored luck value and brought him to this world.

    "So this is your power?" Chen Feng muttered to himself.

    Fate Stone, fortune and misfortune interwoven together.

    He went through a whole life having the worst luck. In his current life, he might be able to create a whole new world for himself! But then, why was he here?

    "Let¡¯s see."

    Chen Feng skipped through all the misceneous information in the original owner¡¯s memory and directly looked at memories about himself. Immediately, he saw a very encouraging story.

    His name was Chen Feng, citizen of Gold City, an orphan.

    He had lost his parents at a young age. However, relying on his outstanding grades and a schrship, he had managed to forge a path into an elite high school and enrolled in gene study courses there. After his training at the school, he had grasped a gic ability and some other techniques. This enabled him to join the elite ss and be the "other family¡¯s child"[1] always mentioned by parents of his fellow schoolmates.

    If nothing unexpected had happened, he would have been able to have a smooth journey as he progressed, bing the rare case of amoner who soared despite bad circumstances!

    However, more often than not, reality was cruel. On thest day of the university entrance examination, Chen Feng, who should have been at the examination, was instead thrown into the sea by others to feed the shark...

    The reason?

    The original owner of the body probably couldn¡¯t understand what happened even at the moment of death. However, as Chen Feng went through his memories, he guessed the reason.

    The world¡¯s top university, North Qing University¡¯s Gene Production Major Facility, was recruiting one headcount from their Gold City. Yet the original body¡¯s owner just had to be the top student who was aiming to major in this all along. Did one still need to guess what would happen as a result of this?

    He had became an obstruction in someone else¡¯s path.

    "What a pitiful child."

    Chen Feng mourned him in silence. It was quite apparent that this body¡¯s original owner, who had spent the majority of his timeboring and studying, must have had an EQ in the negatives to have gotten himself set up by others unknowingly.

    "If I was here earlier, things wouldn¡¯t be so miserable," Chen Feng said confidently.

    But...

    Ugh...

    He kept feeling that something wasn¡¯t right.

    Top student?

    No... ugh... wait!

    Chen Feng suddenly remembered something and had a bad feeling.

    Shark?!

    Thrown into the sea to feed the shark?

    "F*ck!"

    Chen Feng finally realized what the problem was.

    "Bang!"

    The entire cave suddenly shook.

    The thick ground started trembling while the walls around him started wiggling slowly. Some weird mucus started to secrete from his surroundings as Chen Feng¡¯s expression abruptly changed.

    "Curse it!"

    Chen Feng suddenly remembered something.

    Based on the scene seen by the original owner before death and the data provided by his wristband, this was a mutated cksea shark. A spirit-type mutated beast! The moment it swallowed the original owner, his consciousness and soul were immediately destroyed. This left behind an empty shell, enabling Chen Feng to luckily transmigrate here.

    And this ce... was totally not some cave, but was instead the inside of the shark¡¯s body!

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    The entire wall was shaking.

    Chen Feng stubbornly leaned on one of the walls.

    "Bang!"

    Unending sounds of explosions.

    This mutated shark seemed to have awoken. Within the shark¡¯s body, Chen Feng felt like the whole world turned upside down, and the strange liquid was secreting nonstop.

    Earlier, Chen Feng had thrown a cloth to test it out, and the cloth had been corroded immediately.

    And now, that liquid was constantly flowing through the cracks, heading toward Chen Feng.

    "This won¡¯t do."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    Although he did not know where he was, based on his guess, it was very probable for him to be in the mutated cksea shark¡¯s stomach. There were no exits around him, while the only entrance should be the esophagus. However, it was obstructed by even more mucus. Trying to pass through there was simply courting death!

    "What to do?"

    Chen Feng calmed himself down.

    No exit while the entrance was blocked. He could only break out by force.

    Gic warriors of the current era were very strong. 1 point of strength was equivalent to the strength of a non-gically-strengthened human. Chen Feng¡¯s strength and agility were both at 10 points! Tenfold of strength and agility, perhaps...

    "Bang!"

    Chen Feng resolutely punched.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Chen Feng inhaled a mouthful of cold breath. There was an acute pain in his hand, while there was no reaction at all from the wall he had punched. Chen Feng¡¯s strength was indeed strong. However, in this era of genes, the body quality of theserge mutated beasts such as sharks was even crazier!

    "This won¡¯t do."

    Chen Feng looked at the other ability on his digital screen¡ªWind de.

    Gic ability was the symbol of this era¡¯s gic warriors.

    Only after obtaining control of a gic ability could one be considered a real gic warrior, while the spirit-type gic warriors were the most mysterious and formidable! Hence, spirit-type genes were extremely expensive. Even after exhausting his whole schrship, the body¡¯s original owner could only afford the gene reagent of this bottom-tier spirit-type ability.

    Wind de...

    Compared to other spirit-type genes, this gic ability was too weak!

    However, presently, he could only try it out.

    "At least I have 30 points of spirit. Hopefully it won¡¯t disappoint me."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    Wind de!

    "Buzz¡ª"

    A mysterious power emerged from Chen Feng¡¯s body and condensed in empty air. A curved azure-colored de blossomed and relentlessly cut forward.

    "Pu!"

    With a light sound, the de disappeared while a bloody gash appeared on the wall.

    "Howl¡ª"

    A loud bellow could be heard as the shark¡¯s belly started shaking violently, as if the sky and earth were turning upside down. Chen Feng was almost prated by the weird liquid sputtering around him.

    "Not good."

    Chen Feng looked at the bloody gash.

    His strongest ability could only cause a light wound. Hecked the ability to even shake this huge mutated cksea shark! They were totally not in the same league!

    Even if he was currently within the mutated cksea shark! At the most vulnerable part of it!

    Damn it! Would he die here so shortly after he got transmigrated?

    Chen Feng looked at the data disyed on his wristband. He still had 10 points of luck value; however, he did not feel that this ability could let him survive. In front of absolute strength, luck sometimes...

    Wait.

    Chen Feng was suddenly in a daze.

    He carefully looked at Luck Aura, and then at Wind de, before he finally stopped at the Wind de ability¡¯s description: "Small probability (initial estimate 5%) to continuously release wind des."

    Continuous release?

    5%?

    Due to the probability being too small, Chen Feng had subconsciously ignored it.

    The reason was simple, a probability of 5% just to activate a 2-hitbo. How about 3-hitbo? 0.25%! As for 4-hitbo and 5-hitbo? Even lower! Plus the strength of the Wind de itself was too ordinary; hence, this gene, fused by the body¡¯s original owner, received a very low evaluation. However...

    What if it was matched with the Luck Aura?

    Chen Feng was enticed.

    He still had 10 points of luck value. It should be enough to support Luck Aura¡¯s operation for a period of time. Within that period, what kind of power could the Wind de unleash?

    He was looking forward to it!

    Chapter 3: Erupt!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Shark Gulf, Gold City.

    The gentle sea breeze blew past, intoxicating people with its fresh air.

    Five burly men were rubbing their fists and wiping their palms, preparing for something. In their hands were well-polished, sharp weapons, which, under the sunshine, were reflecting dazzling rays of light.

    "All ready?"

    A middle-aged man with a solemn expression walked toward them.

    "Don¡¯t worry, Boss Mo," the few burly men said while smiling yfully.

    "Be serious."

    Mo Lei stared at them ferociously. "Our current prey, the mutated cksea shark, is the king of this sea region. Its strength is extremely scary. Those things in your hands can¡¯t even pierce its outer skin. You need to rely on your gic abilities to really kill it."

    "That thing is so strong?"

    The few burly men¡¯s expressions started to get serious.

    "Otherwise, why would I ask you all toe?"

    Mo Lei smiled bitterly. "To be honest, previously, a gene squad came to hunt it. However, the result was that all of them died here without a single survivor. If not due to the old man¡¯s injury being too serious and him needing the mutated cksea shark¡¯s liver as a treatment material, I would not havee here at all."

    "Understood."

    The few burly men looked at each other with unprecedentedly serious expressions.

    "Good."

    Mo Lei rxed. "Remember to be cautious. If we really can¡¯t do it, leave immediately."

    "Hopefully..."

    "Everything will go smoothly this time."

    Mo Lei lightly spread a few drops of Sharksoul Aroma. "This thing is irresistible to mutated cksea sharks. It should be here shortly. Prepare for the hunt!"

    "Understood!"

    The mood became solemn.

    Everyone stared at the tranquil sea with burning eyes.

    "Hua¡ª"

    The sea surface shook.

    A dark blue brilliance shed through from the sea surface.

    "Here ites!"

    Mo Lei was stirred. "Go."

    "Whoosh!"

    "Whoosh! Whoosh!"

    One sharp weapon after another was stabbed into the mutated beast¡¯s body. However, all of them bounced off the thick skin, unable to leave any injuries on it. Not a single scratch was left on it.

    "Let me do it!"

    A burly man clenched his right fist. Ayer of bizarre purple-ck patterns spread along his right arm. On his right fist, a power that left one¡¯s heart palpitating condensed.

    Under the boost of gic ability, the 60 points of strength were exerted to their limit.

    "Qilin Fist!"

    The burly man soared into the air and ferociously unleashed his fist on the mutated cksea shark on the sea¡¯s surface.

    "Bang!"

    A frightening power exploded and engulfed the surroundings, causing sea waves with heights of at least five meters to rise.

    "Howl!"

    The mutated cksea shark howled.

    "Hum¡ª"

    A bizarre vibrating wave spread over.

    "Pu!"

    Blood spurted out of the burly man that was still in midair.

    "Not good. Spirit attack, this mutated cksea shark has actually reached this level."

    Mo Lei¡¯s expression changed greatly, and he decisively ordered, "Fast, bring Number 3 back. Give up the hunt!"

    "Understood."

    Ayer of light wings spread out from the back of a burly man and left behind an afterimage as he flickered and brought back number 3, who was losing consciousness after the mutated cksea shark¡¯s attack.

    "Damn it."

    Mo Lei grasped both his fists tightly as he unwillingly looked at the mutated cksea shark.

    The hunting operation had failed before it even began. The moment the spirit attack appeared, he knew that the level of this mutated cksea shark was not something they could handle.

    "Boss Mo."

    The few burly men were ashamed.

    "Not your fault."

    Mo Lei¡¯s expression was somewhat sad. "This mutated cksea shark had evolved to such a level. It is no longer something normal people can hunt. Unless they are real experts..."

    Right at this moment, a sudden, miserable scream reverberated through the air.

    "Howl¡ª"

    "What is that?!"

    Mo Lei and the others quickly looked at the sea surface and saw an astonishing scene.

    The mutated cksea shark that was still immensely proud a moment ago suddenly rolled in pain on the sea¡¯s surface. Itsrge bodyshed around constantly, sshing offyers of sea waves.

    "What happened?"

    Mo Lei and the others were shocked.

    Right at this moment, an even more astonishing thing happened.

    Multiple bloody lines suddenly appeared on the mutated cksea shark¡¯s body. The skin that they couldn¡¯t prate after exhausting all their methods was destroyed in front of their eyes just like that.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    Blood dyed the seawater red while the scary sea waves got taller in height.

    Suddenly, a bright azure-colored light de shot out of the mutated cksea shark¡¯s body. This gave them a scare. However, before they managed to react, more and more azure-colored light des shot out of the mutated cksea shark. Under the sunshine, every single light de appeared dazzling.

    What was this?

    Everyone looked at this shocking scene in a daze.

    Suddenly.

    "Bang!"

    Once again, thunderous sound arose from the sea¡¯s surface. After a burst of a violent, explosive sound, a strong and healthy looking silhouette rushed out from within the mutated cksea shark¡¯s body and steadilynded on the shore of Shark Gulf.

    Behind him, blood sttered in every direction.

    The roaring mutated cksea shark rolled over and stopped making any sounds.

    Mo Lei and the others felt their mouths go dry as they unbelievingly looked at the silhouette that had appeared in front of them. The strong gic warrior that had killed the mutated cksea shark in a sh was actually a somewhat young and tender-looking youth.

    "Finally out!"

    Chen Feng was happy.

    The bright and beautiful sunshine. The fresh air.

    Hahaha!

    He came out alive. He looked at himself; the 10 points of luck value werepletely exhausted. The gic ability that was regarded as trash by everyone unleashed stunning attacks the moment he used Luck Aura and Wind de together. An unlimited amount of Wind des were unleashed, destroying everything in his path!

    Under the effect of Luck Aura, 10 Wind des were unleashed and one point of luck value was used every second. Theoretically, with a sufficient luck value, he could release unlimited Wind des until the end of time.

    The attack power was really weak, though.

    So...

    Time to return?

    Chen Feng flexed his muscles and bones before looked at the several people that were staring at him nonstop. "Anything?"

    "No, nothing."

    Mo Lei spoke incoherently.

    Expert!

    An absolute expert!

    To possess such a scary power at an age so young, it most probably was not simply due to talent alone. There had to be a terrifying power backing this expert as well.

    "No, there is something." Mo Lei stuttered, "This senior, can I buy the liver of this mutated cksea shark?"

    "Mutated cksea shark?"

    Chen Feng nced through the sea¡¯s surface and was somewhat dumbfounded. "You can buy the whole shark."

    "Thank you!" Mo Lei spoke emotionally.

    ¡®This is great. Father can finally be saved!¡¯

    Mo Lei pointed at the screen on his wristband and transferred 50,000 yuan to Chen Feng in a sh.

    ording to Chen Feng¡¯s understanding of this world¡¯s currency, this price was definitely not low. To have such earnings shortly after transmigrating was definitely a windfall for Chen Feng. Naturally, Chen Feng would not want to be swallowed by the mutated cksea shark again if he was given the choice. It was too dangerous!

    "Many thanks, senior."

    Mo Lei expressed his gratitude constantly.

    Chen Feng smiled lightly before leaving.

    "Too lucky."

    Mo Lei was excited. "To coincidentallye across an expert capable of killing the mutated cksea shark who also did not care about such a small amount of money. Otherwise..."

    "Are all the students nowadays so strong?"

    The burly guy that had fainted earlier woke up and said bitterly.

    "This is the benefit of going to school."

    Mo Lei sighed. "Starting from high school, they can start studying the gic course. With the school providing all sorts of resources and help, even a new student¡¯s cultivation speed would be multiple times our speed. They are already at this speed during high school where only foundations are focused on. This is also the reason the university entrance examinations only test the foundations! Once they passed their examinations and enter university, their cultivation speed would be so much higher than ours!"

    "In the future, my son must go to school!" the burly guy said resolutely.

    "That is only natural."

    Mo Lei nodded. "However, a normal student wouldn¡¯t be so strong regardless of how good his foundation is. This youngster must be an elite top student!"

    The groupmented.

    However, they did not know that this top student they were talking about had just failed his university entrance examinations.

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Gold City.

    Within an ordinary rented house in the urban district.

    Just as Chen Feng reached home, themunication tool on his wristband received all sorts of information.

    Due to not attending the final day¡¯s examinations, student Chen Feng¡¯s originally top grades dropped gorgeously to the bottom. He immediately failed the university entrance examinations, losing any opportunity to enter university from now on.

    "The speed they release the report card here is quite fast, huh."

    Chen Feng shook his head.

    University...

    Would the impact of not entering a university be big?

    As Chen Feng went through the original owner¡¯s memories to understand the situation, he frowned. In this world, there was a big difference between those who attended high school and university and those who did not. The high school forged one¡¯s foundations, while the university spurted their high-speed growth based on the umted foundations. This was the mostmon cultivation trend in this world!

    Unable to enter high school?

    Can¡¯t pass the university entrance examinations?

    Then one should just fuse a gene suitable forbor and obediently startedboring.

    This was a world where everyone could fuse with mutated genes. However, gic abilities could be divided into two main types. Gic abilities suitable forbor and gic abilities purely forbat! Without a doubt, thetter¡¯s status was much higher than the former¡¯s. This was also what the body¡¯s original owner was pursuing.

    "Combat genes, eh?"

    Chen Feng fell into contemtion.

    This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. Him getting quietly dumped into the sea without anyone realizing was exact proof of this world¡¯s dangers.

    Those without strength would only be ughtered at will by others. As such, Chen Feng had to be a real expert if he wanted to live a wonderful life.

    However, it seemed like things were going to get inconvenient, since he had failed the university entrance examinations...

    "Are there any other ways?"

    Chen Feng suddenly remembered the goal of the body¡¯s original owner¡ªGene Producer.

    Gic warriors could fuse a new gene at every stage. For example, when one met the F-ss gene fusion requirements, one could fuse an F-ss mutated gene to be an F-ss gic warrior. When he reached the E-ss gene fusion requirements, he could once again fuse a mutated gene to be an E-ss gic warrior! Subsequent fusions followed a simr trend.

    At every stage, one could fuse a brand new gene.

    The so-called genes that one fused here were formed by mixing the blood essence extracted from mutated beasts with all kinds of gene reagents, producing something called a gene-fusion reagent!

    Those who produced these things were called gene producers.

    The original owner had always been aiming to be a gene producer. The reason for that was simple. He was clear that his weakness was being someone poor and without background. Hence, a suitable concurrent upation apart from his identity as a student was necessary. If he could luckily be a gene producer, he might be able to solve this issue of his.

    Sadly, he failed.

    It was very hard to be a gene producer.

    Based on Chen Feng¡¯s understandings, the first step for one to be a gene producer was to sessfully produce his first gene reagent. Only those who seed at least once would be recognized as a gene producer! The sess rate for a newbie was 0.1%!

    What did this mean?

    It meant that one required at least 1,000 sets of materials. Even the worst of materials would require a total investment of 1,000,000 yuan to get 1,000 sets of materials. Furthermore, it was very important for one to maintainplete attention during the production of these 1,000 sets of reagents without the slightest bit of ck!

    Naturally, some people were talented and might be able to seed after a few tries. As for those with a ck face[1]...

    Might fail even after trying their entire life!

    He used to y a card game on earth. In half a year, he did not draw a single Special Rare card, directly earning the ck month title[2]. From this, one could see the degree of his ck face at the time.

    Furthermore, even if one was sessful via fluke, it was merely the beginning.

    The sess rate was very low for the initial stage of gene production. Breaking through required constant production and study!

    A scary amount of wealth was required to support all this.

    Naturally, once a person passed through this difficult stage and perfectly grasped a gene reagent form, one would be able to taste the sweetness after the bitter[3] and start threading the broad and open road[4]!

    And this was what the body¡¯s original owner looked forward to.

    "In other words..."

    "If I be a gene producer, it might fix my current problem?"

    Chen Feng eyes lit up.

    Not qualifying to enter a university, Chen Feng¡¯s starting line was much lower than others. However, if being a gene producer could make up for all of that, there was no need to enter a university at all.

    Lacking in resources?

    Just purchase them all!

    Chen Feng was enticed.

    Why had the body¡¯s original owner been stuck at the starting line all the while?

    Apart from spending a vast majority of his time on studying and practicing, the biggest reason was his ck face! As for Chen Feng, this was one thing he was not scared of!

    0.1% sess rate?

    "Hehe."

    Cheng Fengughed.

    "Let¡¯s buy some materials and figure out what this gene production is all about."

    Chen Feng started tidying up his room. He intended to buy some basic materials from the shop at the entrance. Seeing things through the original owner¡¯s memory was notparable to experiencing it himself.

    He had to figure out how much of an effect the Luck Aura had on gene production!

    One had to act based on one¡¯s ability. Arriving in this world, he would die horribly if he did not have a good grasp of his own strength.

    "Let¡¯s start with the lumberbear gene," Chen Feng decided.

    There was really no other reason for his decision. This was the only publicly avable gene form and the only route a normal person could take to start their career as a gene producer.

    ----

    Lumberbear Gene.

    Fusion requirements: Strength: 10 points, Physique: 5 points.

    Basic attributes: Strength: 2¨C3 points, Physique: 2¨C3 points.

    Gic ability: Lumberbear¡¯s Wrath. Increased strength by 10 points for 10 seconds, 60 second cooldown.

    Suitable job: Small construction work, etc.

    ----

    The fusion requirements were what the Gene Production Association assessed to be the lowest requirement for one to safely fuse it. The bodies of those who did not meet the requirements might not be able to support the fusion, and they might get hurt in the process.

    Basic attributes referred to the attributes that would be increased immediately upon sessful gene fusion. As for the range of the attributes increase of 2¨C3 points, it was based on the gene producer¡¯s ability. The more formidable a gene producer was, the more outstanding the produced gene reagent would be.

    As for the gic ability, it was the most important part of a gene fusion process as it allowed one to possess an ability unique to a mutated life form. An example would be this Lumberbear¡¯s Wrath. Only after fusing with a lumberbear gene could one activate Lumberbear¡¯s Wrath to hugely increase their strength for a short period of time.

    A strong boost plus a rapid cooldown period made it one of the most weed gic abilities at construction sites.

    Regardless of this, the starting price of a lumberbear gene was 5,000 yuan. The materials alone cost 4,000 yuan. After deducting the misceneous expenses, one could not make any profit at all. Hence, the amount of people producing this gene was very low. To meet the public demand for the lumberbear gene, the Gene Production Association had to make the gene form public, making it the practice form for gene-producer aspirants.

    Leaving the neighborhood, Chen Feng reached the materials store in the vicinity.

    "Little Feng is here."

    Uncle Zhang from the materials shop said while smiling, "You¡¯vee to buy gic materials again?"

    "Mm, give me five sets of materials for the lumberbear gene."

    Chen Feng nodded his head.

    "All right."

    As Uncle Zhang collected the materials and passed them to him, he paused. "Little Feng, do you have any interest toe work at my ce here?"

    "Aa?"

    Chen Feng was stunned.

    "Sigh."

    Uncle Zhang sighed and regretfully said, "I know you failed your entrance examinations. But child, a man needs to move forward. If you don¡¯t mind, you can start working at Uncle Zhang¡¯s ce for now until you found a better job. After that, you can leave any time you want."

    "Eh."

    Chen Feng started sweating profusely.

    The speed in which the news was spread... wasn¡¯t it too astonishing!

    How many hours had it been?

    Evidently, Chen Feng did not realize that the examination results had always been released at 6 PM the same day. Everyone could check the results online, so they had already found out the results a few hours ago. They did not expect the normally outstanding Chen Feng to fail his examinations.

    "Yo, Little Feng is here as well."

    The nearby elderlydy came over. "Not joining the student¡¯s gathering?"

    "What?"

    Chen Feng was stunned yet again. What student gathering?

    "The graduation..."

    Elder Lady Liu was halfway through her sentence before she noticed Uncle Zhang ring at her. She immediate smartened up. "Sigh, this mouth of mine!"

    "The graduation gathering of your ss."

    Uncle Zhang sighed. "Supposedly, the ss monitor will invite everyone to join the graduation gathering on the day the results were released. This is to let everyone gather onest time. But those schoolmates of yours..."

    Uncle Zhang shook his head, obviously unhappy with the fact that Chen Feng was not invited. "So conceited even before entering society. Those students..."

    "Hmph!"

    "Little Feng, don¡¯t mix around with those conceited people. In the future, you will definitely have better achievements than them," Elder Lady Liuforted him.

    However, they were both clear that without entering a university, Chen Feng¡¯s life would no longer intersect with those schoolmates. Better achievements than them? That was something one could only mention in their dreams.

    It was at this very moment that Chen Feng gained a deeper impression of the universities of this world.

    The truth was, in everyone¡¯s heart, those who failed to enter university lost their qualifications to be a true gic warrior? The clear line drawn by the university was even scarier than on Earth!

    However...

    Would Chen Feng care about that?

    Joining the schoolmates gathering? To hell with it!

    Those schoolmates without good rtionships with him were unworthy of his time at all. What was most important for him right now was to test the power of Luck Aura!

    He had already tried the power of the Luck Aura and Wind debination. That astonishing limitlessbo left him yearning even till now. Then, what about thebination of Luck Aura and gene production?

    He looked forward to it.

    Gold City, Grand Magnificent Restaurant.

    Students of the third year, second ss were mutually congratting their sess on entering university. Suddenly, someone thought of something, "Oh yeah, why hasn¡¯t Chen Fenge?"

    "Probably too embarrassed toe."

    Some of themughed and said, "For the usual top student to actually fail the university entrance examinations. If it was me, I would be too embarrassed toe as well."

    "Haha."

    "So true."

    "You have no idea how badly my mom nagged me every day. Telling me to look at Chen Feng, how even with those family conditions he was still able to be the top student. I was almost vexed to death! Guess what happened this time when I went home. She had nothing to say at all. Haha."

    Another studentughed heartily.

    Evidently, Chen Feng¡¯s long-term monopoly of the top student position had attracted hatred due to jealously.

    "How can you all speak like this?"

    ss monitor Wang Yue snapped at them, "No matter what, he is still our ssmate."

    "Keh, can¡¯t even speak the truth?"

    Everyone smiled happily.

    "It¡¯s also a good thing that he didn¡¯te."

    Wang Yue said lightly, "With this kind of result, he would feel bad if he came. We probably won¡¯t have any chance to meet in the future anymore. To simply part ways in this manner might be a good thing after all."

    "This is how things should have been."

    Some people sneered. "If it wasn¡¯t for the high school insisting on forging our foundations and forbidding us from advancing our ranks, based on the resources behind us alone, would that poor guy be able to be the top student? Pei! Even if he managed to enter a university, he would be far behind us. And now, he didn¡¯t even manage to enter a university."

    Most of them agreed with what was said.

    Wang Yue smiled, no longer saying anything.

    Right at that moment, Wang Yue¡¯s wristband vibrated. A piece of information appeared silently. As Wang Yue looked at it, astonishment shed through his eyes.

    Chen Feng was still alive?

    That kid had clearly been...

    "Come. Congratte our ss monitor Wang for his entry into the North Qing University¡¯s Gene Production Faculty."

    The crowd toasted.

    "Haha. Many thanks."

    Wang Yue switched off the screen as he stood up and returned the greetings.

    It was all cheers andughter inside the room.

    At the same time, in a shabby rented room, Chen Feng was finishing his gene-production preparations.

    There were three steps in the gene-production process.

    First step: gene search. To enter the digitized mode and search within the blood essence for the required gene materials in ordance with the gene form.

    Second step: gene reaction. To let these genes react with each other under the effect of spiritual energy, turning into the final required gene.

    Third step: gene fusion. To grow and duplicate the lone gene, letting it react with the incubator reagent before ultimately being processed into a gene-fusion reagent.

    "Digitized mode?"

    Chen Feng recalled.

    The so-called digitized mode was a pure world of genes simted by the spiritual energy! In this world, only genes could be seen! This would served as a convenience for those performing the gene transformation process!

    "Let¡¯s try."

    Chen Feng looked at the lumberbear blood essence in front of him.

    "Buzz¡ª"

    Carefully, he wrapped his spiritual energy around the lumberbear blood essence. The moment the blood essence waspletely wrapped, he unleashed the spiritual energy within his body.

    Digitized world!

    Shua!

    Before his eyes, bright light streamed about.

    A semi-illusionary world blossomed in front of his eyes.

    A countless amount of bizarre lights flickered and swirled around without stopping. This was the gene fragment of the lumberbear blood essence!

    "So this is the digitized mode."

    "To enter a world of genes that can¡¯t be seen with naked eyes."

    Chen Feng gained understanding.

    The first step of lumberbear gene production was not hard, it was gene search.

    ording to the form¡¯s introduction, lumberbear gene production required three strains of Ao gene, six strains of Bx gene, and four strains of Nw gene. Detailed introduction was avable in the form with pictures included. This was not hard. These few genes were avable inrge quantities among several tens of thousands of genes.

    Chen Feng easily found all these genes.

    First step,pleted.

    First step of gene production was simple beyond imagination.

    As for the second step?

    Chen Feng read the description carefully; it seemed even simpler.

    Truly.

    Gene reaction process¡ªto let all 13 strains of genes found by Chen Feng react with each other. Under catalysis of spiritual energy, one only needed to let the genes react one by one. This seemed hard. However, within the lumberbear gene form, the sequence of reaction and spiritual energy catalysis usage was introduced in detail.

    Which genes to react first, which genes to fuse, etc...

    In a short time, the reaction for all 13 genes waspleted, leaving behind only one single strain of reacted gene.

    And this was the required final lumberbear gene!

    It was so simple and straightforward!

    Second step: gene reaction,pleted.

    "First two steps were not too hard."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    As long as one had the form, it was sufficient to simply follow the prescribed order for the first two steps. The body¡¯s original owner had performed both steps countless times before. Hence, Chen Feng was able to easilyplete both steps by looking back at his memory.

    However¡ª

    The actual difficulty was the third step!

    This very step was the barrier the original owner had never passed!

    Third step: gene fusion!

    The required lumberbear gene had been produced during the first two steps. However, that was only in digitized mode. A lone lumberbear gene could not be stored and preserved at all! Hence, this crucial third step was the step where the lone gene fragment was truly grown and duplicated, changing it into a gene reagent.

    This step was very difficult.

    "How do Iplete this step?"

    Chen Feng carefully researched.

    In the gene fusion process, the gene producer had to envelop the gene with their spiritual energy and move it into the gene incubator reagent for it to grow and duplicate. Next, the gene producer had to evenly distribute the duplicated gene through every corner of the liquid, guaranteeing absolute bnce, before retrieving the spiritual energy. The real lumberbear gene would thus bepleted.

    "Doesn¡¯t seem too troublesome."

    Chen Feng thought for a while and decided to try it out after all.

    "Rise!"

    He carefully extracted the lumberbear gene and moved it into the prepared gene incubator reagent. It was a certain liquid that waspletely transparent. With the entry of the lumberbear gene, it rapidly changed into a blue color. Chen Feng watched with his own eyes as the blue color spread continuously and fused with the reagent.

    Shortly after, all the liquid within the Petri dish changed into a blue color!

    It was done?

    Chen Feng was somewhat excited.

    Next, Chen Feng slowly retracted his spiritual energy.

    "Hu¡ª"

    The liquid within the Petri dish started boiling suddenly, giving him an ominous feeling.

    "Bang!"

    All the liquid exploded together!

    It sshed all over.

    "..."

    Third step: Gene fusion, fail!

    Chen Feng researched carefully.

    The body¡¯s original owner had reached this crucial point before. Despite many attempts, he had never seeded. The reason for all his failures was the same¡ªthe duplicated gene was unable to fuse evenly!

    The "evenness" required in this step was something one could only figure out by oneself!

    During gene duplication, the gene would be exceptionally active. At this moment, spiritual energy was required to rapidly blend the gene into the reagent. This was the only way to guarantee the reagent¡¯s evenness!

    "Evenness..."

    "Bnce..."

    Chen Feng frowned.

    This kind of feeling could only be figured out through constant attempts.

    No wonder the sess rate was only 0.1%!

    The first and second step of gene production only required sufficient practice to guarantee perfection. However, thisst step was really very hard!

    Well, it was very hard for a normal person.

    However, after activating the Luck Aura, would the gene be evenly distributed in the gene breeding reagent under the Luck Aura¡¯s effect?

    Chen Feng was looking forward to it.

    He put his thought into action immediately.

    Chen Feng once again started gene production.

    The first and second steps werepletely easily and he once again reached the gene fusion stage.

    "Luck Aura, activate!"

    Chen Feng activated the Luck Aura without hesitation.

    Whoosh!

    A subtle change seemed to appear in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    "Fuse!"

    Chen Feng carefully moved the gene into the gene breeding reagent. He looked on as that tiny dot of blue spread rapidly, akin to blue ink dripping into water. In a short period of time, the blue fused with the whole gene reagent, and slowly, the liquid changed into a clear blue color. It was such a bright color.

    Return!

    Chen Feng slowly retracted his spiritual energy. There were no changes in the blue liquid.

    Sess?

    Chen Feng was excited.

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng carefully sealed the blue liquid without anything unforeseen happening.

    He was sessful!

    Under the effect of Luck Aura, production was sessful!

    Looking at the data on the wristband screen, Chen Feng noted that this production used one point of spiritual energy and one point of luck value. Naturally, what was important was, along with Chen Feng¡¯s sessful production, a long awaited ability appeared on the data screen.

    ----

    Beginner gene production: You have already grasped the beginner gene production technique. By mastering more forms, you can increase your production level and sess rate.

    Beginner production level: 0 stars.

    ----

    "It appeared!"

    Chen Feng was excited.

    The original owner¡¯s long-awaited beginner gene production!

    Although it was merely him passing the starting line, Chen Feng had gorgeously taken this first step, bing a gene producer!

    As for thetter beginner production-level stat, it was an evaluation on the quality of the gene production.

    Different difficulty levels were assigned to gene forms. The harder the gene form one mastered, the more the gene-production level would be increased! Hence, most of the time, the form¡¯s difficulty level would be sufficient to determine one¡¯s gene-production level.

    For example¡ª

    Lumberbear gene form¡¯s difficulty level: 1 star.

    cktiger gene form¡¯s difficulty level: 2 stars.

    If you were to master both forms, your beginner gene-production level would be 3 stars!

    One could only increase their beginner gene-producer¡¯s level through constantly mastering different forms! To be an intermediate gene producer, one needed to reach a staggering amount of 100 stars!

    As for Chen Feng, who had just started, he did not have a single star.

    "I¡¯ll take my time."

    Chen Feng was not in a rush.

    Since Luck Aura worked, his future could be considered limitless.

    Completing the lumberbear gene, Chen Feng sealed the liquid into a reagent bottle. He nned to let Uncle Zhang help assess this reagent he had produced.

    After lightly packing up, Chen Feng reached the materials shop.

    "Morning, Little Feng."

    Uncle Zhang was always smiling cheerfully.

    "Morning, Uncle Zhang."

    Chen Feng smiled as he passed over the reagent in his hands. "Uncle Zhang, can you take a look at this reagent and see how it is?"

    "Come, let me take a look."

    Uncle Zhang took the reagent. After performing a gene assessment on it, his eyes lit up. "Pass, the purity is not bad. This is a standardized lumberbear gene. Where did you buy this reagent ...."

    Uncle Zhang was midway through his question when he was stunned. He looked at the familiar looking reagent bottle with his eyes wide open. This bottle seemed to be the one bought from his shop yesterday!

    Could it be...

    Surprised, Uncle Zhang suddenly said, "Kid, is this your..."

    Chen Feng said softly, "Uncle Zhang, this is a secret."

    "Good kid!"

    Uncle Zhang was excited.

    Yesterday, he had still been worried that this kid wouldn¡¯t get over failing his examinations. He went on and became a gene producer in a blink of an eye? Hehe, after bing a gene producer, even if his cultivation was a little slower than those in a university, the difference would not be too big! Although the initial investment of time and resources would be somewhat high, the future, however, was limitless!

    "Uncle Zhang, I want to buy a gene-essing chip."

    Chen Feng smiled.

    "Mhm, right."

    "Kid, since you are now a gene producer,ing here all the time for gene assessment won¡¯t do. Having your own chip is appropriate. Wait a while..."

    After looking around for half day. "Nuo, this one."

    It was a metal sheet with a length and width of 1 cm. It was also this era¡¯s special product¡ªchip! As long as it was installed on the wristband, the wristband would be able to perform the functions of this chip. This chip¡¯s function was to scan the properties of genes!

    Chen Feng opened his wristband and installed the chip into it.

    "Ding¡ª"

    "Instation sessful!"

    "Scan."

    Chen Feng scanned the newly produced gene reagent of his.

    ----

    Lumberbear Gene.

    Fusion requirements: Strength: 10 points, Physique: 5 points.

    Basic attributes: Strength: 2¨C3 points, Physique: 2¨C3 points.

    Gic ability: Lumberbear¡¯s Wrath. Increased strength by 10 points for 10 seconds, 60 second cooldown.

    ----

    It was as Uncle Zhang said. These were the standard attributes of a lumberbear gene. Although the attributes were somewhat low, its significance was nothing normal!

    This was Chen Feng¡¯s first gene!

    "Uncle Zhang, how much for the chip?" Chen Feng asked.

    "It¡¯s not much." Uncle Zhang waved his hand, "It¡¯s rare to see a gene producer in the flesh. Heh, the gene producer is even my neighbor. Just a chip, consider it Uncle Zhang¡¯s gift to you."

    "I..." Chen Feng wanted to decline.

    "Don¡¯t be in a rush to refuse." Uncle Zhang smiled. "You, kid, are just getting started. Before long, you will know what a money sink being a gene producer is. I don¡¯t know how much money you saved. If it¡¯s only a few hundred thousands, you can¡¯t buy many forms with it. If you are sincere, you can repay in the future when you start earning money."

    "Many thanks."

    Chen Feng was grateful.

    Based on his online research, a gene-essing chip was worth at least 100,000.

    "This is nothing." Uncle Zhang smiled. "I don¡¯t have much use for the money I saved anyway."

    Chen Feng was speechless.

    Uncle Zhang was over 40 years old this year, yet he had never gotten married. In the original owner¡¯s memory, Uncle Zhang had always lived simply with nothing special going on in his life. He appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary neighbor. However, Chen Feng could see a trace of a remarkable temperament in him, despite it being extremely faint.

    Perhaps...

    This Uncle Zhang had his own history when he was young.

    Chen Fengmented in his heart.

    "Oh, yeah."

    Uncle Zhang suddenly opened his mouth. "Have you heard of the Gene Rookie Competition?"

    "Nope."

    Chen Feng shook his head.

    "I heard recently that the Gene Production Association organized a Gene Rookie Competition. It seems like any gene producer from the young generation can participate in it. As long as one passes the audition, there will be rewards. Those ranked higher will even get forms, bonuses, and other rewards. I¡¯m not sure on the exact details, but you might want to take a look at it."

    Uncle Zhang smiled. "You can try it out. Even if you fail, it could be considered a learning experience."

    "Alright."

    Chen Feng was spirited.

    To encourage the masses to study gene production, the Gene Production Association would frequently organize different events. Chen Feng was not entirely interested in them. However, if it was some rookiepetition, he might be able to use the Luck Aura to earn some money from it. At this thought, Chen Feng said his goodbyes to Uncle Zhang and walked home.

    The sceneries of the neighborhood were as fascinating as always.

    Now that he had seeded in his gene production, his future was bright. Even Chen Feng¡¯s footsteps felt lighter and quicker. However, right before he reached home, he paused his steps.

    At the corner.

    Under the shadows, there was a dim silhouette.

    "It¡¯s been a while."

    The silhouette walked out with a faint smile on his face.

    "It¡¯s you."

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

    Wang Yue.

    The ss monitor of third year, second ss. Possessing a handsome look, coupled with his well-off family and outstanding grades, made him the most popr male in the high school, with no other contenders.

    Naturally, he had a second identity¡ªthe one pulling the strings of the original owner¡¯s death.

    "I heard you failed the examinations, so Ie to visit you."

    A familiar smile was disyed on Wang Yue¡¯s face.

    "Oh?" Chen Feng smiled faintly. "Congrattions on your entry into the North Qing University."

    Whoosh!

    The smile on Wang Yue¡¯s face froze.

    The originally hot weather became somewhat cold at the moment.

    The atmosphere was frozen in an instant.

    The ice-cold killing intent in Wang Yue¡¯s eyes was apparent. For Chen Feng to speak this way, it was obvious that he had managed to guess that Wang Yue was the one pulling the strings!

    "Interesting."

    Wang Yue smiled with a toying expression. "Unexpectedly, you could see the truth. It seems like I was wrong, treating you as a bookworm all this while. However, even if you are somewhat crafty, so what? You don¡¯t really think that you are better than us, right? Let me inform you. The reason you were able to be the top student was merely because you were too stupid!"

    "Firstly!"

    "Almost all children of influential families have fused with genes that are only formidable duringter stages. For example, me. My gic ability is practically worthless during the early stage. However, during thete stage, it can provide a 50% passive growth on one¡¯s spiritual energy! This is the only reason your grades were normally slightly better than mine!"

    "Because of your gic ability!"

    "Although it currently maintains a small superiority, it is ultimately a trash gene!"

    "In the future..."

    "It¡¯s nearly useless!"

    "In a sense, it is equivalent to the lumberbear gene: trash, nothing more than that."

    "Secondly, in order to consolidate the quality of a student¡¯s foundation, all high school students are prohibited from using special resources to improve themselves. They are only allowed to improve through tough training. This is also the only reason you are able to keep up with us! After entering university, you wille to understand what a disparity of tenfold, of a hundredfold means!"

    "Pitiful fellow..."

    "Do you realize that the university entrance examinations were thest and only fair confrontation you are going to have with us in your whole life?" Wang Yue stated indifferently.

    After every word he spoke, he stepped forward.

    The dreadful aura condensed in their surroundings while the confidence and arrogance of a son of an influential family was unleashed in a split second. It was akin to a tsunami gushing onto one¡¯s face. The current him was the true Wang Yue!

    The genius youngster with an illustrious family background and outstanding grades, Wang Yue!

 Chapter 7: Killing Intent

    Chapter 7: Killing Intent

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Within a rarely noticed corner of a certain neighbourhood, Wang Yue¡¯s aura was surging,pletely suppressing Chen Feng. Possessing a good family background, he¡¯d had a certain level of shrewdness and grandiosity since he was young. A mere Chen Feng? Totally someone akin to an ant!

    Since he could kill Chen Feng once, he could kill Chen Feng a second time!

    However, he did not expect Chen Feng to open his mouth at this moment, "So, this is the excuse you use for your act of cheating in the examinations?"

    "What?"

    Wang Yue was stunned.

    "Ah."

    Chen Feng smiled faintly. Initially, he thought that the reason Wang Yue killed the original owner was due to university-rted benefits. However, looking at Wang Yue¡¯s current expression, that high and mighty zeal, he suddenly found that all these years, the original owner might have inflicted quite a heavy trauma on Wang Yue after all.

    He raised his head, looking at Wang Yue, who had arrived before him. Chen Feng suddenly patted Wang Yue¡¯s face. It was a very light pat; however, crisp sounds still resounded from it. Wang Yue abruptly widened his eyes.

    He couldn¡¯t believe that Chen Feng actually dared to touch him!

    "Child, no matter how outstanding you get in the future, you must remember one thing. When you were in high school, there was one person riding on your head for three whole years. Furthermore, even during the entrance examinations, you only dared to obtain victory through cheating. You need to remember. Your pride, your victory, will forever remain something obtained through cheating," Chen Feng said in a meaningful and heartfelt manner.

    "Chen Feng!!"

    Wang Yue pped his hand away, trembling from anger.

    Regardless of how reserved a temperament he had, he was, after all, still a student!

    Those two pats by Chen Feng were simply an insult. That alone was not something he couldn¡¯t bear with. What made him copse emotionally were those words spoken by Chen Feng. They pierced directly into his heart, turning it into a pincushion, smashing his pride entirely.

    What qualifications did Chen Feng have?

    He was clearly here to let Chen Feng see the reality!

    He was clearly here to dere his victory!

    He should be the oneughing till the end!

    Wang Yue was angry.

    "Child, work hard."

    Chen Feng patted his shoulder and encouraged him, "In the future, when you make a name for yourself, I can also bask in your glory. The man who rode on Wang Yue¡¯s head. What do you think of this title? Isn¡¯t it glorious?"

    "Chen Feng!"

    Wang Yue was seething with anger.

    Bang!

    He couldn¡¯t help himself andunched a punch toward Chen Feng. The fist that far exceeded a normal person¡¯s strength was descending ferociously; however, when it reached in front of Chen Feng, it stopped.

    That fist was firmly grasped in Chen Feng¡¯s palm.

    "Child, it seems like you have forgotten something."

    Chen Feng smiled lightly. "You are the current examination¡¯s top scorer. However, your foundations are not as solid as mine."

    Bang!

    He punched, beating Wang Yue backward.

    "Hmmph, brute."

    Cold lights shed through Wang Yue¡¯s eyes.

    Since he was here to kill Chen Feng, ample preparations had naturally been made.

    Gulp!

    He gulped down a small bottle of strength enhancement reagent, increasing his strength by 10 points!

    Gulp!

    He gulped down a bottle of physique enhancement reagent, increasing his physique by 10 points!

    The bottles were only the size of a gtin dessert. Wang Yue managed to instantly gulp down four to five bottles of reagent that Chen Feng had never seen before. Immediately, his temperament seemed to change.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng¡¯s fistnded on Wang Yue, yet he ended up withdrawing his fist in pain.

    His right hand had swollen.

    "You really thought I wasn¡¯t prepared?" Wang Yue sneered. "Even if you were lucky enough to escape from the shark, you are still going to die today! Today, I shall educate you on the reality of things!"

    "Someone poor without any background like you!"

    "Forever¡ª"

    "Remain our stepping stone!"

    "Bang!"

    Wang Yue growled, and power seemed to be bubbling up from his whole body. He ferociously punched at Chen Feng. That dreadful momentum was not something Chen Feng could block!

    However...

    Was there a need for him to block?

    Chen Feng sighed and lightly raised his right hand.

    "Wind de!"

    Hum¡ª

    A sh of azure color.

    "This trash ability again?" Wang Yue sneered.

    Although Wind de was a spiritual-type gic ability, its power was ordinary. It was sufficient to deal with a normal person; however, to deal with him? Even the amount of his spiritual energy was above Chen Feng¡¯s!

    Pu!

    The Wind dended on Wang Yue¡¯s body, leaving behind a 1 cm deep wound.

    "Only this much power?"

    Wang Yue¡¯s eyes were cold. "Then you can go and die!"

    However, outside of his expectations, even before his punchnded, on top of the Wind de that was blossoming in the air, blue light shed and another Wind de appeared! As Wang Yue was stunned, another Wind de appeared.

    "F*ck, this is..."

    Wang Yue opened his eyes wide.

    Bang!

    The Wind des erupted.

    Wang Yue was sted away.

    ¡¯He couldn¡¯t take it after only three of them?¡¯

    Chen Feng sneered and directly dragged Wang Yue to the shadows under the corner. Screams started reverberating. One blue radiance after another could also be faintly seen shing about.

    ¡¯Very strong inter stages?¡¯

    ¡®I, your father, will torture you right now in your early stage!¡¯

    After a long time, Chen Feng walked out of the corner.

    After tidying up his clothes, he walked back home feeling refreshed.

    And after a longer period of time, Wang Yue slowly walked out of the shadows with trembling legs, a bloody nose, a swollen face, and the clothes on him reduced into strips. He appeared like someone that had been ravaged a countless number of times.

    Supporting himself on the wall, Wang Yue¡¯s hands were trembling.

    He never expected someone to have the guts to treat him this way!

    He was Wang Yue!

    He was the proud son of the Wang family!

    He had clearly estimated Chen Feng¡¯s strength to absolutely not be his opponent. However, God knows why Chen Feng¡¯s luck was so good for the Wind de to appear continuously around three or four times!

    This kind of defeat was the most vexing.

    "Chen Feng, there will be a day when I dismember your body into 10,000 pieces!"

    Wang Yue gritted his teeth in anger.

    "What¡¯s up with this child..."

    A few elderdies of the neighborhood passed by, feeling curious.

    "Who knows? Kids nowadays have peculiar tastes. I heard two days ago there was one who called on a youngdy with the swamp-eel gene and end up having the summoned object stuck inside..."

    Wang Yue clenched his fist and left with his head lowered.

    At this moment, high up in the air at the height of a thousand km, a young girl was watching this scene in a rxed manner.

    She appeared to be 12 or 13 years old, wearing a spotless white colored dress. Her ck shoulder length hair was gently dripping downward. She was sitting on a cloud with her foot hanging about.

    "When old man Wang told me to protect this idiot, he mentioned clearly to let him temper himself more and to only intervene during moments of life and death. This matter today..."

    "Mm, a small incident. There¡¯s no need for me to act."

    The young girl pped her tiny hands and muttered to herself, "That fellow called Chen Feng is quite interesting. Too bad his first gene is this kind of trash gene. Not to mention itste stage, even during the early stage it doesn¡¯t have much use."

    Right at this moment, she suddenly paused and concentrated her vision downward. A dreadful power was unleashed instantly, causing the clouds around her to tremble without stop.

    Shortly after, however, the young girl shook her head and things returned to normal.

    "Strange..."

    "Why did I feel like I was discovered by that fellow?"

    "Impossible."

    "That guy is merely a weakling with a spiritual energy of 30 points."

    "Wu..."

    "Nevermind."

    "It¡¯s probably due to me not getting proper sleep recently. I should just return and take a rest."

    The more she thought, the more the young girl got confused. Hence, she directly stopped thinking about it.

    Next, she yawned andy down on the cloud. The cloud slowly drifted and enveloped her. Shortly after, she could no longer be seen.

    At the same time, Chen Feng reached home and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

    Chen Feng had not nned to deal with the matter regarding the original owner¡¯s death for now. However, when Wang Yue came, Chen Feng knew that the conflict between the both of them couldn¡¯t be resolved anymore.

    Since things were that way, then there was no need to resolve it anymore!

    Coming over to sneer?

    Too naive.

    Chen Feng was in fact nning to get rid of Wang Yue. However, that faint sense of crisis he felt in the skies caused him to be iparably alert, ultimately deciding to not act on his n.

    Really worthy of his status as the son of an influential family.

    High above in the skies of a thousand km in height, there were actually someone protecting Wang Yue! As for why was he able to sense it, the reason was simple¡ªit was now the peak of summer!

    The sun was enough to roast a person!

    There were no clouds in the clear and boundless sky!

    Yet, right above their neighborhood, there was a bundle of white clouds. How could he not see it? Together with the vignce brought about by the faint sense of crisis he was feeling, if Chen Feng still couldn¡¯t understand, then he would have had some serious problems.

    Even though he did not understand why that person¡¯s way of guarding was so simple and rough, ultimately, it was not something Chen Feng could contend against.

    Hence, he decided to only give Wang Yue a good beating.

    "I am still too weak."

    Chen Feng pondered for a short while.

    It seemed like he needed to take note of his conduct for a period of time. It would be better for him to only move about at crowded or monitored areas, to not give them any opportunity to act.

    Without background, he could only depend on himself.

    However, Chen Feng wasn¡¯t too worried. During his previous life, he was so miserable, yet he was still able to stay alive until 20 years old. What was there to be afraid of in his current life?

    Worried of assassination?

    What did that matter?!

    Did you know how it felt to be chased after by your own vacuum cleaner?

    Did you know how it felt to almost drown in a bathtub?

    Did you know how it felt to be hit by bird poop, leaving an injury that required seven stitches, when you left your house? A truck appearing anytime when you turned a corner? Or the feeling of the manhole cover under your legs disappearing suddenly?

    Only he knew!

    As far as Chen Feng was concerned, his previous life was a war in itself!

    Assassination?

    It was an inconvenience at most.

    Furthermore, the Chen Feng of today was already a beginner gene producer. With the assistance of Luck Aura, as long as he worked hard, he wouldn¡¯t end up too badly.

    After calming down, Chen Feng started reading up about the Gene Rookie Competition.

    He was currently seriouslycking in money. Hence, it would be a good thing if he could earn some prizes from joining thepetition. However, after researching the so-called Gene Rookie Competition, Chen Feng was shocked.

    Rookiepetition?

    How was this considered a rookiepetition!

    "This..."

    Chen Feng looked at thepetition¡¯s introduction as he inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

 Chapter 8: Gene Rookie Competition

    Chapter 8: Gene Rookie Competition

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Gene Rookie Competition. Anyone under 25 years old could participate in it.

    As long as one passed the audition, one would get generous rewards. The top 20 rankers would receive even better rewards. Those in the top three would be epted as a member of the Gene Production Association.

    This was obviously an irregr recruitment process held by the Gene Production Association.

    What was the Gene Production Association?

    It was a ce all gene producers yearned for!

    And now...

    This ce was recruiting!

    Chen Feng originally thought that this was just apetition among beginners. He never expected this so-called gene rookiepetition to be apetition between the elites of the younger generations, also the most authoritativepetition!

    The top rankers of thispetition might just be the topmost gene producers of the young generation!

    Regardless of whether one was aiming for the Gene Production Association member quota or the title of strongest gene producer, this would be an intense heavyweight-levelpetition! Although there was a restriction on the participant¡¯s age, Chen Feng was sure that, at that time, there would still be a huge volume of gene producers participating!

    Rookie?

    Sorry. You were merely cannon fodder.

    Passing the audition? The second stage of thepetition?

    The difficulty was high!

    "This..."

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly.

    Thepetition that Uncle Zhang had casually mentioned was clearly not something Chen Feng could participate in. From the age restrictions alone, one could see that this was something targeted at the public or those new graduates of universities. A gene producer that freshly graduated from high school like Chen Feng was totally not qualified to participate in this kind ofpetition.

    Even if he managed to enter by fluke, he would merely be cannon fodder.

    However, should he give up just like that?

    Chen Feng did not know why, but within his heart, a me was ignited.

    His original n was to steadily improve himself. However, Wang Yue¡¯s appearance today had provoked him. Should he really take his time to slowly grow and get stepped on by Wang Yue?

    He could not ept it!

    What was Wang Yue¡¯s status?

    He was not sure. However, from the person who was protecting Wang Yue, he could roughly guess how scary the power behind Wang Yue was! High school was the only stage where they couldpete fairly! The moment they graduated from high school, theirpetition would include other aspects, such as their background and everything else!

    He was not Wang Yue¡¯s rival at all.

    Although he had previously sneered at Wang Yue, saying that he was going to use Wang Yue¡¯s past to gain fame in the future, how could he really do that! As much as he wanted to make a name for himself, he also wanted to step on Wang Yue, to be a true expert!

    An opportunity was now presented to him.

    Gene rookiepetition?

    He only needed to enter the top three!

    As long as he joined the Gene Production Association, he would be akin to a carp leaping over the dragon¡¯s gate[1]!

    The people of the current era ced a veryrge emphasis on universities. If that was the case, what if one were to join the Gene Production Association, which was even better than those universities? Who would still dare to look down on you?

    Furthermore, the resources avable there were even better, helping you to be stronger!

    "Top three ces?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were burning.

    In normal conditions, a rookie such as him stood no chance at all.

    Even those gene producers with three or four years of experience had no chance. Who knew what kind of abominable genius would appear in thispetition? The gene rookiepetition was held once per year. Each year, geniuses with extremely high gene-production levels would appear without exception!

    However...

    "They are all geniuses. Why can¡¯t I do it?"

    Chen Feng looked at the Luck Aura on his screen. His heart began stirring. "You all have good backgrounds, but I have the Luck Aura. Topete on one¡¯s background, I¡¯m not worse than all of you!"

    "I need to first meet the qualifications required to sign up!"

    "Next, to sprint toward the top three!"

    Chen Feng made up his mind.

    However, it was not that easy for one to reach the qualifications to sign up for thepetition.

    To prevent too many rookies from joining and creating trouble during thepetition, the gene rookiepetition¡¯s lowest requirement was for one¡¯s beginner production level to reach a rating of 20 stars!

    "20 stars?"

    Chen Feng frowned.

    It was not hard to reach 20 stars. A lot of gene producers with a few years of experience would be able to get 20 stars even if they were to grind it up by sheer volume while working a job at the same time! However, it was a huge problem for Chen Feng who was a total rookie. One needed to know that even a lumberbear gene form¡¯s difficulty level was only 1 star!

    "In other words."

    "If I purely use forms like the lumberbear gene, I would need to master a total of 20 forms to reach a 20-star rating?"

    After some calctions, Chen Feng noted that this was an astonishing figure.

    However, he did not have any point of reference. Hence, he could only master the lumberbear gene form to determine how much time he required to master it.

    "I should master the lumberbear gene first."

    "Next, decide my follow-up ns based on the time I spend mastering the lumberbear gene."

    Chen Feng looked at the time.

    The closing date for signing up was in September. There were still three months left; he might be able to try sprinting toward it after all.

    Naturally, he did not tell anyone his decision. If Uncle Zhang were to find out that this total rookie was actually aiming for the top three, he would think that Chen Feng had gone crazy.

    However, at times, one needed to be crazy.

    "To first master the lumberbear gene."

    Chen Feng set his target.

    Even though he still had a few hundred thousand worth of materials, if he did not utilize his Luck Aura, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to produce a lot of finished goods even if he were to spend all his money.

    All this money was far from enough!

    "I need to sell this off."

    Chen Feng shook the reagent bottle in his hand.

    The gene reagents that he might be selling in the future would not be low in amount; hence, he needed to find a long term point of sale. This would involve the more advanced aspect of this world¡ªthe virtualmunity.

    The technologies in this world were more advanced. The virtual reality technology was also more polished. Almost every household had ess to the virtualmunitywork¡ªthis was simr toputers on Earth.

    This was a semi-circr instrument. Once spiritual energy was inserted, one could enter a brand new virtual world.

    Chen Feng turned it on.

    "Hum¡ª"

    The room started to change. Chen Feng¡¯s simple room suddenly changed into a magical virtual world. Blue skies and white clouds appeared while he was standing on arge public square.

    This was the virtualmunity¡ªsomething that was the most popr product of the current era. Entertainment, shopping, training, it could satisfy everything you wished for.

    On the left side was the business district Chen Feng needed!

    Inside were a countless amounts of shops, while on the streets were crowds bustling with activity.

    "VR Taobao?"[2]

    Chen Feng was stunned.

    A translucent light screen appeared before his eyes. On the screen, he could set filters such as price, category, etc. The shops found after filtering would be indicated with a bright light in the virtualmunity. You could easily reach there by walking. Naturally, you could also casually stroll on the streets, simr to the real world!

    "So it¡¯s like this."

    Chen Feng contemted.

    Chen Feng entered a shop. Gene reagents were disyed inside the ss disys around him. Chen Feng could even pick up the items with his hands. The vivid sensation left him eximing in admiration.

    Naturally, the price left him eximing even more.

    Despite eliminating those high-level gene-fusion reagents, F-ss gene-fusion reagents alone were already extremely expensive.

    F-ss gene reagent¡ªDemonic Spider Gene

 Chapter 9: Deliveryman

    Chapter 9: Deliveryman

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Spiderman¡¯s ability!"

    Chen Feng was astonished.

    Without a doubt, this gic ability was a remarkable one, even in this world. However, that scary price was sufficient to make the majority of people shy away. Chen Feng also looked at other genes. There were a myriad ofbat genes. Even the cheapest one would require 10,000 yuan.

    As for the more expensive ones, the price reached a staggering amount of a few hundred thousands of yuan, and those were the truly popr ones.

    Chen Feng was dazzled from his stroll, yet he quickly steadied his state of mind as he looked at the virtualmunity¡¯s transaction rules.

    There were four ways to sell gene reagents.

    The first way was to look for a buyer yourself through private chat.

    The second way was to directly sell them to the gene shops that were purchasing them.

    A lot of these small gene shops entrusted the process to a robot. For example, a lumberbear gene would be purchased at 4,500 yuan and sold at 5,000 yuan. They made their profit in this manner, through the difference in price. This was a very suitable way for normal gene producers, especially for those whocked time. To transact automatically, simple and fast!

    The third way was to entrust the selling process to a shop in the virtualmunity. The service charge was 5% per day, and you could set your own price. However, regardless of whether or not the item was sold, the service charge would not be refunded.

    The fourth way was to open one¡¯s own shop.

    "The first way is too troublesome. It wastes a lot of time, yet the price is low. The second way is too much of a loss. The capital required to open a shop is too high for the fourth way. Furthermore, during the early period when the traffic is still low, I basically won¡¯t be able to sell any stuff."

    "I can only choose the third way, then."

    Chen Feng decided to entrust the sales to other shops.

    However, even doing this was under the premise of him purchasing a transaction conveyer.

    Transaction conveyer¡ªa new age technological product. It was said that the legendary founder of the virtualmunity¡¯s business section was an expert possessing a mystical space ability! He imitated what the wristbandpany¡¯s founder did andpressed his ability into a particr tool to create the transaction conveyer.

    As long as one purchased one of these tools, one could directly perform small-scale teleportation of products. Those who couldn¡¯t afford to buy a conveyer could only depend on express delivery services.

    The conveyer was priced at 100,000 yuan.

    Chen Feng immediately bought it. He did not have the time to receive and send products every day. Since he would be transacting many times, the conveyer was a necessity. Chen Feng directly bought the transaction conveyer from the virtualmunity¡¯s management and entrusted the express delivery to deliver his product. As for others, it would be more convenient to directly purchase them after he received the conveyer.

    "Done!"

    "Let¡¯s rest a bit."

    Time spent waiting for the express delivery was just nice for Chen Feng to replenish hisck of sleep.

    He was too tired!

    He had been busy without rest since yesterday. Hence, Chen Feng easily fell into a deep sleep. However, right as he woke up from the deep sleep, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

    "Danger!"

    Years spent always on alert helped Chen Feng be wide awake in a split second.

    Shua!

    In his body, a Wind de subconsciously condensed while Chen Feng got up with a leap. He looked toward the source of the crisis and noticed that a dreadful mutated beast had appeared at the window.

    Piercing and sharp ws and a thunder-like pair of eyes, it had a dreadful appearance.

    "Enemy?"

    Cold light gleamed in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    Wind de prepared!

    Luck Aura prepared!

    Even though the fellow in front of him was very big, Chen Feng did not feel the slightest bit of fear. The instantaneous unleash of Wind de could let him disy a power far exceeding his current strength!

    Just as he was about to erupt, a silhouette appeared on the big bird.

    Those familiar clothes ...

    That familiar symbol ...

    That person smiled honestly, took out a suitcase, and passed it through the window. "Boss, your express delivery."

    "..."

    Damn, this was actually the express deliveryman!

    "Can you not walk through the main entrance?"

    Chen Feng sighed. Chen Feng couldn¡¯t be med for the thought of this being the deliveryman not crossing his mind. Even in the memories of the original owner, the deliverymen had always walked through the main entrance. None woulde to the window and give people a scare!

    "I yelled for half a day, yet nobody answered." The deliveryman was somewhat awkward. "After that, I saw that the window was open, so I came to take a look."

    Chen Feng signed his eptance.

    "Hu¡ª"

    The big bird soared.

    Riding on the big bird, the express deliveryman flew away.

    "Cloudsoar bird."

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

    That was an F-ss gic ability of the cloudsoar bird gene, granting someone a natural sense of rapport with a cloudsoar bird. You could capture a cloudsoar bird, which had ordinary battle strength yet possessed high speed, to be yourpanion. A lot of express deliveryman would fuse with this kind of gene. This was a standardbor-type gene.

    "What a mystical world."

    Chen Feng had high expectations of this amazing world.

    Then...

    He opened the bundle and a shiny transaction conveyer appeared.

    The poor relied on express delivery, while the rich relied on conveyers. In this age, even shopping online would deeply injure the hearts of the poor.

    The transaction conveyer was not big and was able to handle a majority of small-scale goods.

    With the arrival of the conveyer, the purchase of all sorts of materials could be settled in one go. Selling gene reagents would also be unprecedentedly convenient. Student Chen Feng¡¯s life as a gene producer had officially begun.

    Once again arriving at the virtualmunity.

    Chen Feng picked a gene shop with somewhat good traffic. There, he put his lumberbear gene up for sale, purchasedrge quantities of lumberbear gene materials, and once again entered a crazy pace of gene production.

    With Luck Aura working at full capacity, Chen Feng started producing genes like crazy.

    During this period of time, apart from the time spent waiting for the luck value to recover, the only thing he did was learn!

    Learning constantly!

    For him, the original owner¡¯s memories were like a movie. Even though he knew them, he did not have a profound understanding of them. Furthermore, with the shallow outlook of the original owner, the things he knew wouldn¡¯t be too many anyway. Hence, Chen Feng needed to personally understand this world. To truly look at this world through all kinds of virtual lecture courses!

    "Virtual reality¡¯s recordings¡ªHelping you to understand the¡¯s pulse"

    "Virtual reality¡¯s recordings¡ªEra of genes"

    "Virtual reality¡¯s recordings¡ªWhat you don¡¯t know about the digital wristband"

    "Virtual reality¡¯s recordings¡ªfive years of review and eight years of hunting, the way of survival of a mutated beast"

    ...

    Etc.

    Chen Feng went through almost all the well-known recordings and guides. Under the aid of the virtual reality services, he immersed himself. After seven days, the current Chen Feng knew more about this world than the original owner! During these seven days, he had also truly blended into this world.

    His gene production had also progressed rapidly.

    Luck value?

    Only 24 recovery points per day, it was far from enough.

    Luck value used up?

    Buy the materials and immediately go into production!

    This form was originally a stranger to Chen Feng. However, under countless sesses and failures, he constantly familiarized himself and increased his mastery over this form! For someone that had not seeded before, this was a barrier! However, as long as one seed a single time and experienced that kind of sensation, the subsequent sess rate would increase.

    It was a type of sensation, yet it was also something that could beprehended.

    In tandem with the usage of luck value, Chen Feng¡¯sprehension of gene fusion became more refined. Hisprehension of the so-called "evenness" became deeper. After every sessful fusion, Chen Feng could feel his improvement. Even through failures he learned something. His sess rate was constantly increasing.

    After seven days of time, Chen Feng finally mastered it!

    Within his gene detector¡¯s data, his beginner gene-production level finally changed from 0 stars to 1 star!

    "I can finally be considered to have officially entered the profession," Chen Fengmented deeply.

    At this point, Chen Feng ended his first seclusion.

    And the price paid...

    Chen Feng felt a ball-breaking pain as he looked at that big zero on his bank ount.

    In order to fully understand the lumberbear gene, he had used up all 40,000 yuan. This was even after supporting himself through the sold lumberbear reagents produced. Otherwise, a mere 40,000 yuan was totally not enough. The money-burning level of gene production far exceeded Chen Feng¡¯s imagination.

    If it was like this even for someone possessing Luck Aura like him, how about others?

    Bing a qualified gene producer was really hard.

    This was also the reason why the original owner had wanted to enter the university no matter what. In the university, all sorts of experimental materials would be provided for free. You could progress constantly even if you were penniless!

    "It¡¯s a pity."

    Chen Feng was somewhat regretful.

    However, he was not discouraged. Since failing the entrance examinations was already a fixed fact, there was no use worrying too much. What was important now was for him to calcte the time spent mastering the lumberbear gene. However, after calcting the sacrifice and costs during this period of time, Chen Feng had a bad feeling.

    "In other words."

    "With a period of seven days, plus all the initial funds, I only mastered a 1-star form?"

    Chen Feng felt a ball-breaking pain.

    He stillcked 19 stars from the 20-star sign-up requirement!

    It was far from enough!

    "This won¡¯t do."

    Chen Feng frowned.

    The profits of a 1-star form was too low!

    If he continued with these kinds of basic 1-star genes, such as the lumberbear gene, even if he were to be given unlimited funds to burn, he would not be able to reach 20 stars.

    "My next form must be abat form."

    Chen Feng was determined.

    The lowest difficulty of abat gene was 2 stars. The outstanding ones could even reach the 3-star difficulty level! Chen Feng was currently relying on the Luck Aura to sprint upward! Hence, as far as he was concerned, the harder the form was, the better it was! He had to choose his second form properly.

    "Let¡¯s collect some money first and buy a high-ratingbat gene," Chen Feng thought.

    Currently, his only funds were these freshly produced lumberbear gene reagents.

    "I should sell these first."

    Chen Feng arrived at the virtualmunity as usual. As he reached the gene shop he frequented and prepared to assign his sale, a fierce-looking silhouette with an ominous glint in his eyes appeared before him, blocking him.

    "Kid, who gave you the guts to sell at my ce?"

 Chapter 10: King Kongâ€™s Anger

    Chapter 10: King Kong¡¯s Anger

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "You are?"

    Chen Feng raised his head doubtfully.

    "I am King Kong, the manager of this virtual shop," the tall and stout silhouette stated coldly.

    "Oh, hello."

    Chen Feng was somewhat surprised.

    "Hehe, hello my ass!" King Kong raged, "I, your father, haven¡¯t been here for two days, yet the sales volume has dropped by 50%! Who gave you the guts to sell genes at my ce? Merely a rookie. Even your products are those trashy lumberbear genes. Do you know how much loss I, your father, made in the past two days?!"

    "A normal lumberbear gene can only be sold at 5,000 yuan. A peak-attribute outstanding lumberbear gene is worth no less than 10,000 yuan!"

    "The genes you put up were the trashiest ones that are hard to sell. The high attribute genes put up by others will be sold in a few hours. The assigned spot would thus be cleared and be avable for business again. Do you know how much of my business you have blocked?"

    King Kong was raging.

    "Oh."

    Chen Feng was feeling doubtful. "Why don¡¯t you set up a restriction order?"

    Restriction order.

    It was the value-added service provided by the trusteeship system. The virtualmunity needed to make money, after all. Hence, the trusteeship of the gene shops only had a simple rule. Only after buying the restriction order could one set up rules as they wished. For example¡ªrestricting the gene categories, gene types, and gene attributes, and even a cklist could be added.

    With a fee of 10,000 per month, it was a necessity for shops with a certain level of traffic.

    King Kong¡¯s expression froze.

    "Seems like you didn¡¯t buy it."

    Chen Feng understood.

    This fellow did not want to spend this 10,000 yuan, yet he also did not want rookie gene producers to sell at his ce. However, under normal circumstances, when people would sell, they would simply sell wherever avable. Who knew what kind of conditions you had? This was a perfect example of a dishonest person. Since you didn¡¯t set up restrictions, how would someone know what conditions you had? By guessing?

    "Do I, your father, need you to control my sale?" King Kong flew into a rage out of humiliation and bellowed, "Scram! My, your father¡¯s, ce does not wee rookies."

    "Alright."

    Chen Feng lightly nodded and left.

    Only after this did King Kong feel satisfied. Hmph, to spend 10,000 yuan to set up a rule? It was not necessary at all. These rookies, one only needed to give them a good scolding and they wouldn¡¯t dare toe.

    However.

    As he turned around, his face froze.

    One after another, lumberbear gene reagents appeared on the originally empty ss shelves. All eight empty spaces were suddenly filled!

    And these genes...

    "F*ck!"

    "Damnable bastard!"

    King Kong was shuddering due to extreme anger. The fellow just now actually assigned all his genes for sale before leaving? And to do it in front of his face?

    How could he be so thick-faced to such extent!

    King Kong was bursting with rage.

    At this moment, Chen Feng returned to reality in a rxed manner.

    King Kong¡¯s threat?

    He totally didn¡¯t care. Since you didn¡¯t have a restriction order, that meant he was totally entitled to sell there. It was reasonable and fair!

    Wanted to restrict him?

    Just obediently go and buy a value-added service.

    However, Chen Feng had finally understood the circumstances and hardships of a normal gene producer.

    They already needed to invest arge amount of resources during the initial period, but even when selling gene reagents, they would be discriminated against. No wonder so many people preferred to sell directly to the shops. They would rather lose some profit then to be grieved in this way.

    "Seems like if I want to make a profit, I still need an outstanding lumberbear gene."

    Chen Feng contemted.

    After focusing all his energy on gene fusion during this period of time, he hadpletely mastered the form. Now, he could start attacking the higher levels!

    For example¡ª

    High-attribute outstanding genes!

    There were three types of high-attribute lumberbear genes. Three points of strength, three points of physique, or both.

    There were three steps in gene production, with the third step being the crucial point concerning the sess of the fusion. On the other hand, the first step, gene search, was the crucial point for producing a high attribute gene.

    The reason was simple: materials.

    The gene fragments found during the first step were the fusion materials during the subsequent reaction and fusion stages! Only the best gene materials could produce the best attributes!

    "The best gene..."

    Chen Feng contemted.

    Wrapping up the lumberbear blood essence with his spiritual energy, brilliant light swirled before Chen Feng¡¯s eyes as he entered the digitized world.

    Countless genes were swirling about.

    Chen Feng was able to easily find the required gene materials for the lumberbear gene. However, all of these weremon genes.

    "Outstanding genes, eh?"

    Chen Feng decided to wait a while.

    However, after waiting for a full two minutes, only one gene strain that seemed to be onefoldrger than the other genes appeared. Evidently, these genes were low in quantity.

    "This won¡¯t do."

    Chen Feng frowned.

    Only one gene strain was found in two minutes. How much time would he require to rece all 13 strains of genes with these bigger genes?

    "Speed up!"

    Chen Feng urged his spiritual energy on and sped up the operation speed of the whole digitized world.

    The originally slow moving genes started to elerate. Chen Feng looked at every gene that shed through in front of him and retained those that wereparativelyrger.

    However, just as he caught the sixth gene strain, the world before his eyes started flickering.

    Bang!

    The digitized world copsed!

    The world before him returned to normal and the lumberbear blood essence turned into a clump of blood-colored mist.

    "Failed."

    Chen Feng shook his head.

    Spiritual energy fully exhausted!

    This was his first failure at the gene search stage!

    His current maximum spiritual energy was 30 points. However, even after exhausting all his spiritual energy, he could not collect even half of the required outstanding genes. He didn¡¯t even get to start thinking about producing the high-attribute genes!

    Furthermore, with the degree of spiritual energy exhaustion, even if he managed to produce it, what use would it be?

    The gains totally couldn¡¯t make up for the losses!

    Chen Feng required at least 60 points of spiritual energy to produce one outstanding lumberbear gene! And this did not even take into consideration the situations involving ck face and bad luck!

    Exchanging 60 points of spiritual energy for one outstanding lumberbear gene?

    He would not do it at all.

    "Not worth it," Chen Feng muttered to himself.

    The reason he had tried to produce outstanding lumberbear genes was due to a shortage of money. However, in order to make money, if he were to use this way of production to produce an outstanding lumberbear gene, he would instead lose a lot of money!

    "Let¡¯s check online and learn some gene search skills as well," Chen Feng contemted. If he were to practice more, the exhausted spiritual energy might drop to around 40 points; however, that was already the limit!

    As for the others, it would be dependent on luck.

    This was precisely why those rookie gene producers were mostly focused on producing ordinary genes only as a form of practice. As long as the ie and costs were bnced and they were not making many losses, it would be sufficient. High-attribute outstanding genes?

    Those were the production of gene-producer grandmasters!

    A gene-producer grandmaster did notck spiritual energy at all. They could createrge quantities of peak-attribute genes any time. The rate at which their spiritual energy was exhausted might even be slower than their spiritual energy recovery.

    "Seems like I can only produce it in the future?"

    Chen Feng felt somewhat regretful.

    Right at this moment, however, he suddenly remembered one thing¡ªgene search was dependent on luck! What if he were to use Luck Aura?

    "It¡¯s worth a try."

    Chen Feng was suddenly excited.

    After preparing the materials, Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    Rise!

    His spiritual energy slowly wrapped around the lumberbear gene, and he instantly entered the digitized world.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Luck Aura, activate!

    Chen Feng opened his eyes and was immediately rmed.

    A countless number of genes swam around before him. The speed was not fast; however, the genes that appeared were all the strongest genes! The strongest genes amounting to several tens of thousands actually appeared in the first batch!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Chen Feng captured these strongest genes.

    First steppleted. One point of luck value used.

    Chen Feng deactivated the Luck Aura and went through the subsequent production phase normally. Nowadays, he could already guarantee sess during his gene fusion step, so he did not need to worry about failing.

    Shortly after, the gene reagent became an azure color.

    Productionpleted.

    Shua.

    Gene assessmentpleted and the data of the gene appeared on the screen.

    How hard was it to increase one attribute point? Countless people worked extremely hard for a long time and were only able to have a one point increase. This was especially true formoners. As such, that one point of strength and one point of physique increased the original price of the lumberbear gene from 5,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan.

    "Sure enough..."

    "Attribute is what¡¯s increased after the activation of Luck Aura during the gene search stage!"

    Chen Feng was pleasantly surprised.

    These days, Chen Feng had not been using the Luck Aura, so there were quite lot of leftover luck points. As such, Chen Feng spent six points of luck value to easily produce full-attribute lumberbear genes from the remaining six sets of materials.

    Chen Feng calcted. "Selling all of these,bined with those sold yesterday, will me roughly 10,000."

    The following day.

    Chen Feng reached the virtualmunity on time.

    The eight gene reagents he had assigned yesterday had already sold. He arrived in front of the virtual shop, nning to assign genes for sale. Unexpectedly, a warning window popped up instead.

    "You have been cklisted by this gene shop. You are prohibited from assigning sales here."

    A floating, half-illusory window appeared. Chen Feng was stunned. At the same time, King Kong, who had received a notification, changed into a shiny silhouette and appeared once again. As he saw this scene, heughed heartily.

    "Hahahaha."

    "Weren¡¯t you very unbridled yesterday? I, your grandfather, bought the restriction order service today! From now on, rookies such as you can forget about leeching traffic here!"

    King Kong was joyfully satisfied.

    He had almost been infuriated to the point of death by Chen Feng yesterday. After making up his mind, he activated the value-added service that very night and had waited a whole day just to vent this frustration of his!

    "A weak rookie gene producer like you is as trashy as that Wind Pavilion across the street!"

    "Wanted to leech on my traffic?"

    "Ridiculous!" King Kong said disdainfully.

    "Oh," Chen Feng said apathetically and then turned around and walked away.

    Oh?

    King Kong opened his eyes wide. It ended with only an "oh"?

    Shouldn¡¯t this guy be bursting with rage? He had waited for a whole day and even purposely opened a value-added service that caused him to ache. He actually said "oh" and left just like that?

    No, this was wrong!

    "This bastard is definitely putting on an act. He must be very angry after getting fixed, but he did not want to show his anger in front of me, so he pretended to be very calm and collected. Mm, this must be the truth," King Kong thought.

    At that time, Chen Feng returned.

    "Returning again?"

    King Kong immediately felt proud. "How is it? Still feeling extremely angry, right? Haha. I, your father, likes your current expression of being very angry at me yet unable to do anything."

    "No, I simply want to ask something," Chen Feng said indifferently. "Where is the Wind Pavilion you mentioned earlier?"

    "That trashy Wind Pavilion?"

    King Kong sneered. "Nuo, the one opposite. The boss there is very suitable for you. Both of you are trashes with corrupt moral standings! Apart from acting cool, there is nothing else you both know!"

    "Oh."

    Chen Feng nodded his head, turned around, and left.

    Another "oh"?

    King Kong opened his eyes wide and an obscure me emerged in his heart.

    Damn!

    He had obviously fixed this bastard. Why was there no anger at all, not even a fart? And to even specifically ask where the Wind Pavilion was? This bastard couldn¡¯t really be nning to go to the Wind Pavilion, right?

    He wouldn¡¯t be so senseless, right?

    But then, if he really went over and brought disaster upon apetitor...

    "Hehe."

    Watching as Chen Feng reached the opposite side, King Kong decided to go take a look.

    Wind Pavilion, a small gene shop.

    As King Kong entered, he saw Chen Feng tap on empty air with his finger a few times before leaving. He subconsciously nced at his surroundings. The small, empty gene shop filled rapidly. Within the empty ss shelves, bottle after bottle of brand-new gene reagents appeared.

    "This bastard is really stupid."

    King Kong was sure.

    To actually listen to his words and bring disaster to his rival?

    King Kong clicked his tongue...

    He could be considered to have recovered his losses with this.

    "Haha!"

    "That trash Windchanter, let me see how can he continue acting cool after this."

    King Kong was immediately feeling refreshed.

    However, before leaving, he subconsciously tapped at a lumberbear gene to take a look. He was immediately stunned. Peak attribute? Starting price 10,000? He rubbed his eyes with all his strength. He was sure that he had not seen it wrong. It was really peak attribute with a starting price of 10,000!

    How was this possible?

    King Kong was stupefied.

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    He rapidly checked all the recently assigned lumberbear genes here. It was actually a straight flush of peak-attribute genes! And the only person here earlier was Chen Feng!

    "Peak... peak attribute?"

    King Kong was stupefied.

    All of them?

    How was this possible!

    Even for a grandmaster producer, there would be circumstances where two points of physique and three points of strength or two points of strength and three points of physique appeared. They would not all be three points of attributes like what was happening currently! Furthermore, he was very clear that, during the past few days, all that fellow had produced were ordinary genes.

    Could it be...

    King Kong suddenly inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    This was a young master of a rich family. He was just getting started in learning gene producing, so he progressed forcefully using money and rushed to peak level in a few days time?

    If it was like this...

    King Kong¡¯s heart suddenly ached. He had actually forcefully chased a big-spender gene producer away! Furthermore, King Kong was the one who caused him to go over to his rival¡¯s ce?

    No.

    Coincidence, this must have been a coincidence.

    "How could that bastard be capable of producing this kind of high-attribute gene?"

    King Kongforted himself.

    Subsequently, in the next two days, King Kong saw that every time Chen Feng went over, a few peak attribute lumberbear genes would appear in the shop¡ªevery single time! What grieved his heart the most was that he had secretly removed the restriction he had set on Chen Feng. And yet, Chen Feng never returned!

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

    King Kong was bursting with rage. Yet this was something he had made happen! If he had known earlier that this fellow had this kind of talent...

    "So angry!"

    King Kong ferociously hammered his chest, feeling iparable grief.

    It was at this moment that the inner door of the shop opened suddenly. A youngster appeared in Wind Pavilion. "Weird, these two days I was a bit busy with personal matters in real life and had no time to manage the shop, so why has the performance increased instead?"

    He was the very owner of this shop, Windchanter.

    "..."

    "Yo, King Kong is here as well. Haha, you can¡¯t be the one bringing traffic to my shop, right?"

    Windchanter sneered.

    "..."

    He felt bitter within.

    "Oh, right, there¡¯s still seven days left for our practice period, right? One month¡¯s business volume, let¡¯s see who will ultimately get first ce! I originally thought there was no chance to surpass you. Unexpectedly, these two days, my performance has increased and caught up to you in such a short time. Seems like my luck is not bad."

    Windchanterughed heartily.

    "..." King Kong¡¯s heart ached.

    "Hmph."

    King Kong sneered and left.

    Windchanter was confused. Weird, this King Kong bastard was normally unbridled to the skies. Even after losing, he would not own up to it. Why was he so timid today? Obviously, Windchanter did not know that those words of his earlier had shot right into King Kong¡¯s sore spot. His increased performance was really rted to King Kong.

    At the same time.

    King Kong returned to his own shop, and finally, his breathing smoothed out.

    Too heart-aching!

    Every single word that bastard had said was smashing upon his heart. Every single needle pierced straight through, causing blood to flow. Damn it, if he had known earlier that damnable gene producer had this ability...

    Fine, he wouldn¡¯t be bothered with him anymore.

    King Kong clenched his teeth. He could only ask for his elder sister¡¯s help. If she were to only anonymously assign sales here, it should not be considered as cheating.

    ¡®Damnable Wind Pavilion, I will let you be unbridled for two days,¡¯ King Kong thought hatefully.

 Chapter 12: Unexpected Mutation!

    Chapter 12: Unexpected Mutation!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Gold City.

    Chen Feng was producing genes within his rented room.

    He had been producing peak-property gene reagents like crazy these two days. The luck values that had been saved the previous few days were almost used up. He made quite a lot of money from the sales as well, but it was still far from enough to purchase a second form.

    "Abor-type gene form¡¯s starting price is 10,000."

    "Abat-type gene form¡¯s starting price is one million."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart was aching.

    The money he had umted these two days was not enough for even a single form! The fact was that, even for a peak-property lumberbear gene, the profit would only be 5,500 yuan! After selling 20 of those, he had only made 110,000 yuan, far from abat gene¡¯s price of one million!

    "I need to think of a method to earn more money."

    "To hunt another mutated shark?"

    Chen Feng thought about it for a while before giving up this death-courting idea.

    Him killing that mutated shark was purely a fluke. That fellow¡¯s strength was very dreadful. Him being able to kill the mutated cksea shark was due to him being within its body!

    If he wanted to kill that kind of freak again...

    He needed to be swallowed first.

    Urgh...

    That fellow was a spiritual-type mutated beast. The moment he was swallowed, his consciousness and soul would be directly destroyed! The body¡¯s original owner seemed to have died this way, thus allowing Chen Feng to transmigrate here.

    Chen Feng did not doubt that if he were to once again meet such a thing, he would undoubtedly die!

    "Mybat power is still too weak for now; I can¡¯t rely on it."

    Chen Feng shook his head before ultimately deciding to continue with lumberbear gene production.

    However, when Chen Feng was done hurrying up this batch of genes and was selling them, he noticed that a lumberbear gene was disyed in the ss shelf beside him. The price had actually reached an amount of 20,000!

    "Is this guy crazy? Selling it for so much?"

    Somewhat curious, Chen Feng went over to take a look and was immediately astonished.

    ----

    Name: Lumberbear Gene ¨C Increase

    Attribute: Strength: 3 points, Physique: 3 points.

    Ability: Lumberbear¡¯s Wrath. Increased strength by 10 points for 20 seconds, 60 seconds cooldown.

    Type: Mutated

    Selling price: 20,000 yuan

    ----

    "Mutated?"

    Chen Feng was shocked. What the hell was this?

    Only after checking online did he understand.

    Mutated genes were a type of special product that had a small probability of appearing during gene production.

    During gene reactions, under catalysis of a few genes, there was a possibility for the lumberbear recessive gene to mutate into a mutated lumberbear gene!

    This was the basics of mutation.

    An outstanding gene was referring to the attribute being higher than an ordinary gene. As for a mutated gene, it was due to the gene¡¯s ability to transform.

    For example¡ª

    Mutated lumberbear gene.

    A normal lumberbear gene¡¯s ability was: increased strength by 10 points for 10 seconds, 60 second cooldown.

    A lumberbear gene ¨C increase would increase the duration from 10 seconds to 20 seconds! A lumberbear gene ¨C reduce would reduce the cooldown period from 60 seconds to 30 seconds! Regardless of the type, a mutated gene was worth much more than an ordinary gene!

    This was the greatness of a mutated gene.

    "Mutation..."

    Chen Feng was enticed.

    He currently extremelycked money. If he were to produce mutated genes...

    "Does the mutation ur during the gene reaction stage?"

    Chen Feng suddenly understood. He finally understood the reason for gene production being separated into three stages.

    First stage: gene search: affecting the gene¡¯s attributes!

    Second stage: gene reaction: affecting the gene¡¯s mutation!

    Third stage: gene fusion: affecting the gene¡¯s sess rate!

    For Chen Feng, he had tried using Luck Aura on the first and third stage before. Only one point of luck value was required to reach perfection. What about the second stage?

    "How would I know without trying?"

    Chen Feng licked his dry lips and started gene production once again.

    First stage,pleted.

    Second stage...

    Luck Aura activated!

    What appeared before Chen Feng after the gene reaction was somewhat different than previous times. To be urate, the color was deeper.

    Third stage, gene fusion.

    "Shua!"

    The gene reagent changed into a deep-blue color.

    Production sess.

    Chen Feng subconsciously checked his stats first. Luck aura reduced by two points!

    "Really used up two points."

    Chen Feng was not rmed and was delighted instead. Did that not mean...

    Whoosh.

    He scanned with the gene detector.

    ----

    Mutated Lumberbear Gene.

    Basic attributes: Strength: 3 points, Physique: 3 points.

    Gic ability: Lumberbear¡¯s Wrath. Increased strength by 10% for 10 seconds, 60 second cooldown.

    ----

    Mutated?

    It really mutated!

    He had spent two points of luck value¡ªone point to get high attribute and another point for the mutation to ur¡ªand produced the most perfect gene!

    But...

    It seemed like something was wrong somewhere?

    What on earth was this 10%?

    Chen Feng was dazed for a long time.

    This wasn¡¯t correct. Even if it were to mutate, shouldn¡¯t the change be duration or cooldown period? He never heard that the lumberbear gene had a third mutation!

    What the heck was this?

    Chen Feng was somewhat stupefied.

    He entered the virtualmunity quickly.

    Chen Feng opened the virtual light screen and started filtering the categories into: lumberbear gene, mutated.

    Shua!

    Ayer of new data appeared.

    Lumberbear Gene ¨C Increase: 20,000 yuan, sold out.

    Lumberbear Gene ¨C Reduce: 20,000 yuan, sold out.

    For a single mutation, the lumberbear gene¡¯s prices were increased by tenfold! The lumberbear gene¡¯s original price of 5,000 yuan could actually reach this extremely expensive 20,000! However, what caused Chen Feng to feel a ball-breaking pain was that, even in the virtualmunity, he could not find any information on the lumberbear gene having a third mutation!

    A gic ability was able to be increased through training. The lumberbear gene¡¯s upper bound should be 10 levels.

    Level 1 lumberbear gene: 10 point increase.

    Level 2 lumberbear gene: 20 point increase.

    Level 10 lumberbear gene: 100 point increase.

    Then what about this percentage of his?

    10% increase on level 1, that meant a 100% increase on level 10!

    Sounds great, right? Almost a tenfold increase! These stats in percentage form would definitely be invaluable forbat genes. As for abor-type gene? For a normal person, their original 20 points of strength would be increased by two points after a 10% increase.

    How many points could a peak attribute even have?

    100% was far worthlesspared to 100 points!

    Since they chose abor-type gene, their strength attributes were definitely low. Hence...

    Would this thing sell?

    Chen Feng doubted it.

    Even after spending half a day checking online, he did not find any relevant information. Chen Feng guessed that the concealed probability of 1 in 10 million had been forcefully uncovered by the Luck Aura. Whether it was a good or bad thing, Chen Feng was unsure. However, he found a solution shortly.

    The reason the virtualmunity was so popr was not merely due to it having a business district.

    Entertainment...

    Performance...

    Courses...

    Whatever you could think of, the virtualmunity had it all.

    Chen Feng directly purchased a few gene producers¡¯ consultation services. However, what surprised him was that even a high-level gene producer did not know much about this.

    "Lumberbear gene? I have not researched it for a long time."

    "The possibility of a third mutation happening? There is a possibility of it happening, it might also not exist? I am not really sure."

    "If you are really interested, perhaps there is one who knows about it."

    Gene producers were normally rather rigid. Thus, they would not dare to confirm things they were uncertain with. They did, however, rmended a person to Chen Feng.

    High-level gene producer, Tao Hongkai!

    This great master once wrote the "Complete Guide of Lumberbear Gene Production" and became well known through it. He was the first gene producer to write out a book containingprehensive knowledge of the lumberbear gene¡¯s production and was extremely loved among the low-level gene producers. Numerous beginner gene producers had his name on their teaching materials.

    "Professor Tao?"

    Chen Feng contemted.

    The first lumberbear gene production guide he read had this great master¡¯s name on it as well. This great master just happened to have a virtual ss tonight; he might be able to dispel Chen Feng¡¯s doubts.

 Chapter 13: Chen Fengâ€™s Anger

    Chapter 13: Chen Feng¡¯s Anger

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Night time.

    Chen Feng paid the fee of 100 yuan and directly entered the virtual ssroom. Inside, it was already fully seated with a crowd and was bustling with activity. By eyeballing it, the crowd amounted to a hundred people.

    This was the benefit of a virtual ssroom. Regardless of how many people were attending the ss, you would not feel crowded.

    At 8:00 PM sharp.

    A silhouette of light flickered and Professor Tao appeared.

    He was an elderly person with somewhat grizzled hair. Although peoples¡¯ appearances were much younger with the advent of the era of genes, Professor Tao was already around 50 to 60 years old.

    "Dear students, let me talk about the lumberbear gene..."

    Professor Tao did not speak anything nonsensical, instead starting the lecture immediately.

    However, these problems were something that were not different from what Chen Feng had seen online. He did not purposelye here just to see Professor Tao read from the textbook.

    As he thought of this, Chen Feng intuitively raised his hand.

    "This student, is there a question?" Professor Tao smiled.

    "Professor Tao, I wanted to ask if there is a possibility for the lumberbear gene to have a third type of mutation?" Chen Feng spoke directly.

    "Third type?" Professor Tao frowned.

    "Yes." Chen Feng nodded his head and said with a deep voice, "Lumberbear¡¯s Wrath, increased strength by 10 points for 10 seconds, 60 second cooldown. There are three crucial numbers here. Since duration and cooldown period have a possibility of a mutation happening, could a mutation happen to the 10 points of strength?"

    "Impossible," Professor Tao firmly denied.

    "Why?"

    Chen Feng was somewhat doubtful. Was it due to the lumberbear gene¡¯s internal structure?

    However, what left him astonished was Professor Tao not directly answering him and instead impatiently stating, "Impossible means impossible. I have produced a higher number of mutated lumberbear genes than the number of all the genes that you have seen. Yet, I have never seen the strength mutation that you mentioned."

    "Oh." Chen Feng paused. "I was only talking about its possibility."

    "There is no such possibility! Student, you are here to attend a ss! There are a thousand students here. Every second you waste is equivalent to 1,000 seconds! Every 10 seconds you waste are equivalent to a whole session wasted just like this. What right do you have to waste everyone¡¯s time and money?" Professor Tao said righteously.

    "..."

    Chen Feng had a stupefied expression on his face.

    There was no other reason!

    It was because the way this fellow calcted time was exactly the same as the high school teacher in charge during his previous life! This was how your family calcted time? To have the concept twisted to such an extent, in this aspect at least he could be considered as outstanding.

    However¡ª

    Professor Tao still hadn¡¯t answered Chen Feng¡¯s question.

    "Just sit down."

    Someone beside Chen Feng suddenly pulled him down.

    "Mm?"

    Chen Feng looked at the person oddly.

    "Stop asking, you won¡¯t be able to get any results."

    That personughed in a mischievous way. "Professor Tao has been relying on the lumberbear gene his whole life. His only aplishment in life is the lumberbear gene guide he wrote back then. And within the guide, it was clearly mentioned that the lumberbear gene only has two types of possible mutations! And you nowe and ask him this question? Isn¡¯t this akin to overturning his only achievement?"

    "How is it possible for him to answer you?"

    That person smiled. "Even though I also do not believe that the lumberbear gene has another mutation, your seriousness in learning is something I greatly approve of."

    That person introduced himself. "Let me introduce myself. I am Mu Yuan, a beginner gene producer."

    "Chen Feng, a beginner gene producer."

    Chen Feng nodded and gestured. "Those things you told me, I know about them. However, Professor Tao is, after all, someone who has been researching the lumberbear gene his whole life. He should at least know more than others."

    "Whole life?"

    Mu Yuanughed involuntarily and said in a low voice, "Hehe. From what I know, back then he researched for a year and gave up on lumberbear gene research after noticing that he hadn¡¯t made any progress. However, he did not manage to aplish anything else either. Hence, he started to conduct a ss every once in a while to earn some extra ie."

    "Oh yeah, the contents of his sses were always those that were already publicly avable online. If not for my course assignment making attending this sspulsory, I wouldn¡¯t bothering." Mu Yuan sneered.

    "..."

    So this was the way things were?

    He was somewhat regretful. He had thought that he would be able to find the origin of the lumberbear gene¡¯s mutation.

    Right at this moment, Chen Feng felt a lot of eyes looking weirdly at him. Subsequently, Professor Tao¡¯s voice could be heard.

    "Youngsters nowadays, don¡¯t bite off more than you can chew! Just a rookie, yet you¡¯ve started having a wild imagination and talking about a mutation that is fundamentally impossible. What kind of mutation do you want abor-type gene such as the lumberbear gene to have? You are so great that you can let a lumberbear gene mutate out a wing and bring you to the heavens?" Professor Tao stated faintly.

    Everyone broke into heartyughter.

    After a long time.

    Professor Tao started his lecture again, and they stopped looking Chen Feng¡¯s way.

    This guy...

    Chen Feng frowned.

    Cold light shed through Mu Yuan¡¯s eyes. "True enough, he is still behaving this way."

    "You knew him?"

    Chen Feng could hear some underlying meaning.

    "Back when the lumberbear gene was new, my grandfather also wrote a lumberbear gene research paper. In order to guarantee the information¡¯s correctness, my grandfather conducted a lot of research to prove his hypothesis and was somewhat slower than this fellow who had directly released a research result filled with loopholes to grab the title of the first issuer of the research."

    "Afterward, when my grandfather released his research, no one was interested in it."

    "If it was only like this, it would¡¯ve been fine. What was most vexing was that this bastard subsequently copied my grandfather¡¯s research for a second amendment and released his research once again. This was the reason theplete version of the guide exists nowadays. Within the guide, 80% of the information was obtained from my grandfather!"

    "Too bad my grandfather back then was not a gene producer with a big reputation..." Mu Yuan stated regretfully.

    "So this was what happened."

    Chen Feng was enlightened.

    At the same time, he was also somewhat disappointed. Not able to find the origin for the lumberbear gene¡¯s mutation and instead getting a clear look at what type of person this grandmaster here was.

    "However..."

    "Should I face p right here?"

    Mu Yuan was suddenly excited. "To be honest, I originally thought that you were randomly asking. However, looking at your style of doing things, I suspect that you have already produced the gene with the third type of mutation. Hehe, if you question or publish your mutated gene at this time, things would be interesting!"

    Chen Fengughed involuntarily. "Ah."

    He faintly refused. "You think too much."

    "All right."

    Mu Yuan shrugged without care. "Leave me your contact details. I feel like we have a lot inmon. Oh, right, if you really have any problems during your research studies, I suggest you go to the virtualmunity¡¯s learning forum. There are a lot of grandmasters there."

    Learning forum...

    Chen Feng remembered it.

    This ss continued for a long time. During thetter part, Chen Feng was also seriously listening. However, he did not get any useful knowledge from it. After ss, Chen Feng went to the virtualmunity¡¯s learning forum.

    Xx gene¡¯s research and production, thoughts: xx gene¡¯s mutation probability, etc. He could see various kinds of discussion threads. Even through the light screen, Chen Feng was able to feel the enthusiastic discussion atmosphere. A smile formed at the corner of Chen Feng¡¯s mouth. This was what he was looking for.

    Was there a possibility for the lumberbear gene to have a third mutation?

    Chen Feng quickly posted his doubts.

    The learning forum was bustling, so replies starteding after a short while. Chen Feng started seriously reading the replies as a lot of people started contributing their thoughts.

    Gene¡¯s sudden change...

    Gene¡¯s growth...

    Etc.

    Many people started to explore the question from various angles.

    Chen Feng was also researching seriously.

    At this moment, Professor Tao had just finished his meal after returning home. During the meal, he was busy berating in front of his family how the students nowadays had no manners, were not sensible, were biting off more than one can chew, and wanted to mutate out a wing to bring them to the heavens, to the point where he didn¡¯t even notice the impatience on his son¡¯s face.

    "Father, how long have you been past your prime," Tao Lijun stated unhappily.

    "Past what prime!"

    Professor Tao rebuked, "My poprity is still high!"

    "Hum¡ª"

    The wristband¡¯s vibration interrupted Professor Tao¡¯s sentence.

    Professor Tao looked at it and smiled immediately. There were unexpectedly a lot of people that were tagging his name on the learning forum. "Look at this. I have only been away for a while yet there¡¯s already so many people inviting me to answer their questions. The learning forum still cannot do without me. Your father still has some reputation."

    "Let me take a look."

    Tao Lijun curiously came over.

    Whoosh!

    Learning forum loaded and the light screen appeared.

    "Is there a possibility for the lumberbear gene to have a third mutation?"

    Tao Lijun nked momentarily before showing a strange expression. "Isn¡¯t this the impossible thing that you mentioned earlier? They are discussing this."

    Immediately, Professor Tao had an unsightly expression.

    Possibility of a third mutation?

    He vaguely guessed something. As he opened the thread, it was really that question!

    "Bastard."

    Professor Tao started scolding. "How can this be so? Students nowadays are really not engaging in any honest work! I had clearly told him it was impossible for a third mutation to happen. He actually did not trust me and started asking this kind of question at the learning forum. This is totally looking for sensationalism."

    "Father." Tao Lijun was speechless. "He probably only wants to rigorously study this for a bit."

    "Rigorous my fart!"

    "This type of gene needs to be rigorously studied?"

    Professor Tao angrily rebuked, "Was the guide I wrote notprehensive enough about the lumberbear gene? Students nowadays are going insane from wanting to be popr."

    "Very well. You want to be popr, right?"

    Professor Tao sneered endlessly.

    Currently, Chen Feng was seriously looking over everyone¡¯s answers.

    Although his question had not been answered, he couldn¡¯t deny that, with the ideas from fellow online friends, a lot of distinct trains of thought were provided to Chen Feng.

    He benefited greatly.

    However, due to this question being something rted to the lumberbear gene, a lot of people started to tag Professor Tao. This caused Chen Feng to frown. However, he wasn¡¯t too bothered with it. Chen Feng thought that, with Professor Tao¡¯s identity and status, he wouldn¡¯t be so bored as toe here and create trouble, right?

    However.

    Shortly, a reply was quickly upvoted to the top by a lot of people. Chen Feng nced at it and the smile on his face immediately vanished. A faint cold light appeared in that pair of eyes that were usually tranquil.

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Professor Tao?

    Hehe...

    Indeed, this was precisely Professor Tao¡¯s answer.

    "I thought that there were some new findings. Who would have thought that it was actually this question. Hehe, I forgot to tell everyone. This fellow student is a member of my ss. When he asked this question previously, I already exined to him in detail. I told him it is impossible. I did not expect him to actuallye and inquire here."

    "I feel like this person is not a genuine schr and is here to create a disturbance instead."

    "Raising an impossible possibility and watching on as everyone wastes their time discussing. He himself, on the other hand, is sitting high above, tricking everyone, like getting a monkey to perform tricks, gaining some fame for himself."

    "I suggest that everyone ignore this kind of person."

    Undersigned ¨C Professor Tao.

    A lot of people immediately felt enlightened after seeing this.

    "So it¡¯s actually like this."

    "Professor Tao already answered this question? The original poster did not mention this at all. True, since there¡¯s already an answer, why is he still asking here?"

    "Seeking sensationalism!"

    "Maybe this person has an ulterior motive."

    Some people answered.

    Soon, thetter posts in the thread were all derailed from the original question.

    "I caught a glimpse of Professor Tao!"

    "Professor Tao¡¯s follower here. My first gene form was the lumberbear gene. Until now, I¡¯m still Professor Tao¡¯s fan."

    "Professor Tao appeared, this thread is concluded."

    All sorts of opinions started appearing. Some people even started scolding Chen Feng. The whole thread was totally derailed.

    Chen Feng calmly continued reading on.

    His expression did not change, yet a cold radiance had appeared in his eyes.

    He was rarely angered.

    The immensely unlucky previous life of his let Chen Feng be full of optimism in his current life. No matter what, he would be able to handle it calmly and remain optimistic! However, this did not mean that he was someone easily bullied. The other meaning of a rarely angered person was that, once he was truly angered, his anger couldn¡¯t be neglected!

    "Professor Tao..."

    Chen Feng suddenly smiled.

    He didn¡¯t care if Professor Tao were to nag at him for a bit. However, nobody was seriously answering the question in his thread now due to these words of Professor Tao¡¯s. Earlier, Chen Feng was able to get inspiration from the mystical thoughts of some people on the forum. A lot of the contents were immensely helpful to him.

    However, it was all gone now.

    "You are courting death," Chen Feng said faintly.

    He had decided to teach this Professor Tao a lesson.

    Starting a thread to leak the mutated gene reagent?

    It was totally unnecessary!

    Providing proof through a thread could only give Professor Tao some shame. That was pointless. What Chen Feng wanted was more than this.

    For example¡ªmoney!

    "Then, let¡¯s do it this way."

    Chen Feng decided in his heart.

    **

    Next day.

    Professor Tao woke up early in the morning, feeling good and refreshed.

    A certain ignorant youngster had tried to provoke him yesterday and was criticized by the knowledgeable and experienced people of the learning forum to the point of having cuts and bruises all over. Now, he did not even dare to show himself anymore.

    "The majority of people are still sensible enough to make the correct choice."

    Professor Tao felt refreshed all over every time he thought of this.

    Lumberbear gene?

    Possibility of a third mutation? Were you purposely toying with me?

    Professor Tao thought disdainfully. However, right at this moment, an assistant ran over in a panic. His expression was ugly to the point of crying. "Pro... professor, not good. A new mutated lumberbear gene is being sold at the virtualmunity¡¯s business district."

    "What?"

    Professor Tao frowned. New mutated lumberbear gene?

    How was this possible?

    An ominous feeling appeared in his heart as Professor Tao followed his assistant and entered the virtualmunity. As he saw the gene being sold at the business district, his face paled immediately.

    ----

    Lumberbear Gene.

    Basic attributes: Strength: 3 points, Physique: 3 points.

    Gic ability: Lumberbear¡¯s Wrath. Increased strength by 10% for 10 seconds, 60 second cooldown.

    Selling price: 99,999 yuan.

    ----

    "Strength mutation?"

    Professor Tao was stupefied.

    It really appeared!

    Yesterday, he was still madly saying that it was impossible for a strength mutation to appear. Yet today, just like that, it had gloriously appeared at the business district. Furthermore, it was listed at the top of the list!

    At this moment, others had also discovered this issue.

    That¡¯s right.

    The reason for that was because, as long as anyone searched for lumberbear gene, they would be able to see that there was a gene ced high on top, surpassing all simr types of lumberbear genes. As long as you tapped on it to take a look, you would notice that astonishing gic ability of its! Absolutely unprecedented in history! A special gene that increased strength with a percentage as its unit of measurement!

    At the same time, at the learning forum.

    Some people had noticed this and started replying on the thread. The lumberbear gene¡¯s screenshot had even appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s thread.

    "Third gene mutation appeared unexpectedly at a certain gene shop."

    "It¡¯s great to see this good news."

    "Where are those people that questioned the original poster yesterday?"

    "Hahaha, camping for Professor Tao¡¯s appearance."

    A lot of people started getting excited.

    Without a doubt, the mutated lumberbear gene Chen Feng had assigned for sale had attracted a lot of attention. Even at this small area, it was enough to cause a sensation.

    However, what he did not know was that, apart from Professor Tao, there was another person who was also in distress.

    And that was King Kong.

    At the Wind Pavilion, King Kong was looking at the extremely expensive mutated lumberbear gene in a daze before looking at thebat genes that he got his sister to sell anonymously at his shop after begging everywhere. His face was pale.

    To be pushed downward again?

    Thebat genes he had painstakingly gotten were actually pushed downward with a single mutatedbor-type gene?

    Why?!

    That guy from the Wind Pavilion was totally absent these two days! After discovering that his absence would increase the performance of his shop, that bastard never returned!

    Yet¡ª

    His performance really did grow!

    Why?

    Student King Kong felt extremely wronged. Yet when he thought of the person assigning the mutated gene for sale, King Kong became listless like an eggnt after snow.

    That person again!

    That rookie gene producer that he had jeered at!

    He never thought that, in a few days time, that guy had upgraded from producing normal genes to producing peak attribute genes and then upgraded yet again into producing mutated genes. Furthermore, that damnable mutated gene was something that had created history. A never-before-seen third mutation!

    Oh God!

    What kind of abominable person had he previously chased away?

    At this time.

    Whoosh.

    Thebat genes that his shop was selling were purchased at a high price of 50,000. King Kong¡¯s eyes shed. "Right. What should I be afraid of? The set price and the actual sale of it are different matters! That mutated gene isparable to abat gene. However, even abat gene only costs a few tens of thousands!"

    Based on King Kong¡¯s evaluation, this lumberbear gene was worth 30,000 at most! One needed to know that even other genes with simr abilities would only cost 20,000.

    99,999?

    Was it posted to amuse people?

    It was his shop that was instead selling the most poprbat genes. He did not need to be afraid of that lumberbear gene that would not sell!

    As he thought of this, King Kong was spirited again.

    "Merely a producer, I, your father..."

    Before he even managed to finish his usual slogan, King Kong was suddenly stunned. He looked nkly before him, as just short while ago, a silhouette had walked past beside him.

    And then...

    That gene in the Wind Pavilion was bought.

    99,999!

    Sold just like that!

    King Kong was stunned!

    An idiot that spent his money to buy such an overpriced gene actually existed? He really couldn¡¯t understand. 99,999 yuan could totally be used to buy a rather goodbat gene!

    Was he sick?

    Had the world gone crazy?!

    King Kong did not know.

    However, he felt really terrible!

    Because the producer that produced this extremely expensive gene was someone he had purposely chased over to his rival¡¯s ce. Every time he thought of this, his heart ached to the point where he couldn¡¯t breathe.

    Why would things be like this?

    King Kong had a stupid expression on his face. He felt like, since he met that gene producer, his worldview started copsing. However, he did not know that Chen Feng was simrly stupefied as well.

 Chapter 15: Professor Taoâ€™s Second Spring

    Chapter 15: Professor Tao¡¯s Second Spring

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "It sold?"

    Chen Feng was surprised.

    Truly surprised. He had only posted it to face p Professor Tao!

    To let him see that, in this world, the third mutation for the lumberbear gene really existed. To let him start facing reality. However, for it to really sell? It was something he had never expected, as the price he had set was really expensive!

    Very expensive!

    "In this world, there are really so many big spenders?"

    Chen Feng muttered.

    With 50,000 yuan, one could buy a much betterbat gene. There was only one reason for the buyer to be so generous: it was to study this gene¡¯sposition! Through this, one could figure out where this so called third mutation came from.

    Mhm, that was very possible.

    Chen Feng guessed in his heart.

    However, even if he had his guesses, what happened next totally stunned him. He had never thought that, in this world, a person¡¯s face could be thick to such an extent.

    Firstly, his thread on the learning forum was deleted.

    This was a very rare thing. One needed to know that the learning forum had a very deep background. Unless someone vited the rules or infringed on any rights, threads were rarely deleted. Chen Feng¡¯s thread was not rted to either vition, yet it was deleted. It would be weird if no trickery was involved in it.

    Secondly, a lot of people started discussing the topic of ¡®Is there a possibility for the lumberbear gene to have a third mutation?¡¯ and started to tag Professor Tao to provide exnations on this topic. Professor Tao seriously replied: If a small probability can be considered, then it is still possible.

    Chen Feng roughly swept through and noted that there were at least ten simr threads.

    What was the situation?

    Chen Feng was unable to understand it.

    After that, at night...

    A news that truly rmed Chen Feng appeared.

    Well-known gene producer grandmaster Professor Tao announced: Lumberbear third gene mutation might exist. Furthermore, initial sess had been obtained and a deeper level of research was currently being performed.

    The moment the news was released, the media was sensationalized.

    What was the lumberbear gene?

    It was something almost everyone knew, and also the most highly usedbor-type gene. Hence, even though Professor Tao had no other achievements, he had still been able to profit off providing lessons on the lumberbear gene for his whole life.

    And now, Professor Tao dered that a third mutation was found?

    Everyone was excited.

    In the forums, participants of the previous discussion started threads to question Professor Tao. However, they were all deleted. Every single time, it was deleted. These discussions could not be seen from the front page at all. Furthermore, how many participants were there in yesterday¡¯s discussion? How many fans did Professor Tao have?

    They were totally not on the same level.

    Therefore, the questionings of Professor Tao were quickly flooded amongst all the praises.

    "He actually dared."

    Chen Feng was stupefied.

    Really. He had never thought a person¡¯s face could be thick to such an extent. This was no longer angling for fame[1]. It was instead swallowing up Chen Feng¡¯s achievement under broad daylight!

    But then, had he never thought that this would be exposed?

    That thing was, after all, not something that he had produced! Regardless of how one thought of it, doing this was simply too risky. A magnificent grandmaster producer¡¯s IQ was so low?

    And at this moment.

    Within the school¡¯sboratory.

    A faint blue radiance flickered. Under the experiment equipment, Professor Tao¡¯s tranquil appearance appeared. Beside him, the assistant was cautiously and solemnly analyzing the data together with him.

    "Di¡ª"

    "Di¡ª"

    The gene-essing tool was flickering without stop. Within, two lumberbear gene reagents were ced.

    "Analysis sessful."

    "Gene assessment sessful."

    "After crossparing the data, exceptions were found and analyzed."

    "Analysispleted."

    Whoosh!

    The screen flickered.

    Brand new data appeared.

    "Sure enough..."

    Professor Tao was exulted.

    Was he stupid?

    Of course he was not stupid!

    So many people had produced lumberbear genes back then, but he was the only one to be well-known. It couldn¡¯t be that the others did not produce any research guides, right? Yet they were all defeated by him. And now that the third mutation had appeared, after the initial panic, Professor Tao knew that his second spring had arrived!

    To steal?

    Getting found out?

    How was that possible!

    If this special mutation could appear so easily, it would have appeared long ago. The only reason it hadn¡¯t appeared had to be due to the probability being very low.

    Indeed, he found out after researching it.

    "A gene returning to its roots!"

    "This was a gene returning to its roots. Haha."

    Professor Tao was in ecstasy.

    A special recessive gene was hidden within the lumberbear¡¯s blood essence. This originated from its ancestor, the grand thunderbear¡¯s bloodline gene! After years of dilution, this bloodline was already pitifully few in number. Even the gene fragment would only appear after catalyzing the gene reactions.

    And the probability¡ª

    1 in 100 million!

    A probability so low it made one¡¯s hair stand up in despair.

    Mhm...

    What a wonderful probability!

    No matter how one looked at it, this was a type of probability that would only appear due to coincidence.

    To be honest, the lumberbear gene had been in production for so many years, with mutated genes appearing daily. It was about time for this mutation to be discovered. And this wonderful single appearance had been grasped by him! Haha. If that fellow were to take it out and directly question him, then that fellow might still have had some weight in his voice.

    He had actually sold it!

    Now that this thing was in his hands and he had even gotten a result out of his research, who would dare to doubt him?

    On that night itself.

    Professor Tao released a thesis¡ªDetailed analysis on the lumberbear gene¡¯s third mutation. It caused a small-scale sensation and Professor Tao¡¯s poprity increased greatly.

    In this age, news travelled fast.

    This piece of thesis by Professor Tao was still very skillfully prepared.

    Regardless of proving that the gene returned to its roots or swaying public opinion, it was very well done. At least when Chen Feng read it, he could finally be considered to have understood the reason for the mutation to appear.

    "Mhm..."

    "A gene returning to its roots, eh?"

    Chen Feng understood. So this was the reason.

    However, even though this was what the thesis said, the probability of one actually digging the recessive gene out was really too low. Hence, not many people could produce it. And the moment Chen Feng activated his Luck Aura, regardless of what the probability was, as long as it really existed, the Luck Aura would be able to dig it out!

    "Hum¡ª"

    His wristband suddenly vibrated.

    A light screen popped up and a familiar smiling face appeared. "Hey, Chen Feng."

    "Hello, Mu Yuan."

    Chen Feng smiled.

    "You are still able to smile?"

    Mu Yuan rolled his eyes. "Professor Tao, that fellow, has already swallowed your research result by force. Ai, you still underestimated the level of his shamelessness."

    "Just a small matter," Chen Feng said lightly.

    He did not feel like he had made a loss, due to the 100,000 yuan he earned.

    "You are so calm?"

    Mu Yuan looked at how Chen Feng¡¯s expression was still so tranquil, then smiled bitterly and said, "Even if you don¡¯t care, to let someone forcefully steal the result of your research, aren¡¯t you unhappy to not be able to vent despite being wronged?"

    "What do I need to be afraid of?"

    Chen Fengughed involuntarily. "Some things can¡¯t be stolen."

    "Oh?"

    Mu Yuan was surprised. "What idea do you have? If you need help, in any way, just let me know. I am extremely interested in dragging this kind of society¡¯s trash through the mud."

    "It¡¯s fine."

    Chen Feng smiled. "Since he bought it, wouldn¡¯t things be fine if I simply produce another?"

    "F*ck, you can still produce more?"

    Mu Yuan howled. He had never thought that Chen Feng¡¯s solution would be so simple! Wasn¡¯t it an umon urrence for these rare mutations to happen?

    "I originally couldn¡¯t."

    Chen Feng felt regretful. "After looking at Professor Tao¡¯s thesis, I was enlightened and am able to produce it now."

    "..."

    Mu Yuan observed three seconds of silence on behalf of Professor Tao.

    Chapter 16: Soft Knife

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    After ending the call, Chen Feng started his lumberbear gene research.

    To be honest, Professor Tao¡¯s thesis had really helped him greatly. After learning the theory behind it, Chen Feng was able to avoid a lot of mistakes and save a lot of luck values.

    "Let¡¯s start!"

    Chen Feng started the gene production skillfully, as smooth as flowing water and moving clouds.

    "Whoosh!"

    Gene productionpleted.

    It was at this moment that Chen Feng felt a fantastic warm current flowing within his body. His somewhat exhausted state of mind was actually recovered in a short while.

    "Ai?"

    Chen Feng scanned himself with the gene detector and was immediately amazed.

    Spirit increased!

    After that warm current, his originally pathetic 30 points of spirit actually became 31 points. It was forcefully increased by one point through countless gene productions.

    "This actually increased!"

    "Gene production can also be considered as a type of spirit tempering method?"

    Chen Feng was somewhat surprised.

    Gene production was originally something that could only be performed by someone with a spirit-type gene. From this, it was apparent that, after continuous days of bitter training, it was normal for his spirit to be increased.

    "There¡¯s only one point, but it¡¯s still an unexpected profit after all."

    Chen Feng was gratified.

    However, he did not know that, if he were to speak these words to others, he would be beaten to death by others! Even though it was only one point of spiritual energy, was spiritual energy something easily increased? Even the original owner of this body was only able to increase it to 30 points from birth till now!

    After all¡ª

    Who could be sessful every time?

    Who could get peak attribute every time?

    Who could easily produce mutated genes?

    Only Chen Feng!

    Whoosh!

    Gene scan!

    Familiar data appeared before him.

    ----

    Mutated Lumberbear Gene.

    Basic attributes: Strength: 3 points, Physique: 3 points.

    Gic ability: Lumberbear¡¯s Wrath. Increased strength by 10% for 10 seconds, 60 second cooldown.

    ----

    "Then..."

    "What should I do next?"

    Chen Feng muttered in a low voice.

    To expose Professor Tao directly? How pointless was that. The previous profit of 90,000 was very enticing for him, ah.

    At this thought, Chen Feng smiled yfully.

    **

    Next day.

    Professor Tao woke up from a beautiful dream.

    After a few decades, he had finally weed the second spring of his career! The Professor Tao of today was no longer that outdated gene producer that was earning his keep through a piece of guide. Instead, he was someone who tempered hard for several decades before finally seeding in his production! Mhm... he liked this title.

    However.

    With the experience from the previous day, Professor Tao was somewhat careful and let his assistant continuously watch the business district attentively.

    It couldn¡¯t be denied that he did the right thing.

    After only a few minutes of excitement, his assistant¡¯s message was hastily transmitted to him. At that ce called Wind Pavilion, a mutated gene had actually appeared again!

    "What?"

    Professor Tao¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    Another one appeared? Damn it. Wasn¡¯t the probability rate 1 in 100 million? That fellow¡¯s moral standing was actually this good[1]? If this was exposed...

    "Buy!"

    Professor Tao clenched his teeth.

    Nearly 100,000 yuan was quietly gone just like that.

    Due to the speed of Professor Tao¡¯s actions, almost no one noticed this. What gave Professor Tao a sense of relief was that this mutated gene did not continue appearing at the business district.

    "Coincidence?"

    Professor Tao went through one whole day trembling in fear and with his heart in a constant rmed state.

    However.

    Just as he woke up the next day, the assistant¡¯s message arrived hastily. That mutated gene had appeared again!

    Wind Pavilion again!

    "How was this possible?"

    Professor Tao¡¯s whole body felt ice-cold. Wasn¡¯t it a 1 in 100 million chance?

    Wasn¡¯t it something that only had a very small probability of appearing? Even if a grandmaster gene producer were to produce lumberbear genes all day long, the probability for a mutated gene to appear would still be very low. To have even one appearing would be considered quite good already, how was it possible for someone to continuously produce it two days in a row? Furthermore, it was the extremely rare third mutation?

    Hence, he was now faced with a question.

    To buy or not to buy?

    "Professor..."

    The assistant asked cautiously.

    "Buy."

    Professor Tao sprawled on the ground powerlessly with a malevolent expression on his face. "Buy. I refuse to believe that he can really keep producing it! I refuse to believe that he can still produce it tomorrow!"

    "Professor..." the assistant said in a low voice.

    "Didn¡¯t you hear me telling you to buy it?"

    Professor Tao had a malevolent look on his face.

    "But the money is not enough," the assistant said, feeling wronged.

    "..."

    Professor Tao¡¯s face darkened. He inhaled deeply and took out the remaining bnce in his bank ount. Even the funding rewarded by the Gene Production Association when he released the third mutation research two days ago was taken out.

    "Buy!"

    Once again, 100,000 yuan disappeared quietly just like that.

    Professor Tao stared in front of him looking bewildered. The students passing by were all looking at him with respect and admiration in their eyes. His heart, however, was iparably ice-cold.

    Was that gene truly finished?

    How long could he continue maintaining his honor? He was even somewhat scared of going to sleep. He was scared that the moment he woke up, he would receive that damnable message from his assistant again!

    After taking the wrong first step, all subsequent steps were wrong. He couldn¡¯t even turn around!

    At this moment.

    Student Chen Feng suddenly received Mu Yuan¡¯s news.

    "Chen Feng, where¡¯s your gene?"

    Mu Yuan was somewhat doubtful.

    He had heard Chen Feng mention it so easily, so he thought that it woulde out quickly. He didn¡¯t expect that after two days, he had not even seen a fur appear. He thought Chen Feng had agreed to make one more?

    "It¡¯s sold," Chen Feng stated faintly.

    "Ah?"

    Mu Yuan had a stupefied expression on his face. "Sold? To who?"

    "No idea. I assigned all of them at the shop," Chen Feng said faintly.

    "Ah?"

    Mu Yuan was stunned. "Shit! Don¡¯t scare me bro. This is your proof to reverse the situation and face p Professor Tao! How can you sell it just like that? Wait, all? How many did you assign for sale?"

    "Two. One per day."

    Chen Feng smiled.

    "One per day?"

    Mu Yuan suddenly thought of something. "What price did you set it at?"

    "99,999," Chen Feng stated calmly.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Mu Yuan inhaled a mouthful of cold breath.

    Shit! So ruthless!

    He had always thought that Chen Feng¡¯s character was too soft. He did not expect this fellow¡¯s action to be much crueler than his. Annoying this kind of soft knife[2] was even scarier. Professor Tao was probably feeling that living wasparable to death for the past few days, right? Furthermore, Chen Feng had also quietly fished out arge amount of money from this. This level of being outwardly kind but inwardly evil was something he couldn¡¯tpare with!

    "I admire you!"

    Mu Yuan eximed in admiration, "No wonder everyone says that those who are outwardly cold or retiring but deep and passionate inside are the scariest."

    "..."

    Was this apliment?

    "How long do you n to drag it out?"

    Mu Yuan asked.

    "That depends on how long our old professor¡¯s finances can hold out for."

    Chen Feng smiled.

    100,000 to buy one day¡¯s honor?

    It was worth it.

    Night passed quietly.

    The next day, Professor Tao saw that rming message right after he woke up.

    That gene was on the shelf again!

    Exhaustion stered all over Professor Tao¡¯s face with huge dark circles under his eyes.

    He hadn¡¯t rested for a few days. Every day, he was living in fear, afraid of being exposed, of all the praises turning into curses. He had lived his life trembling in fear these days.

    "If I had known earlier that this would happen..."

    Professor Tao was feeling endless regret.

    He did not dare to buy any more. He was now iparably sure that the damnable fellow had grasped the technique to produce this kind of special mutation! Yet if he didn¡¯t buy it, he might lose all his honor. He was tortured by this kind of suffering, worrying about personal gains and losses to the point where he almost copsed.

    "Father, I¡¯m back."

    Professor Tao¡¯s son Tao Lijun returned early in the morning.

    "Little Jun, ah, help your father," Professor Tao said in a panic, grabbing his son¡¯s hand. He knew that, based on his son¡¯s position and identity, he might be able to settle this matter for him. At this point, he couldn¡¯t be bothered with his dignity in front of his son.

    "Don¡¯t worry, no problem."

    Tao Lijun smiled.

    "Then it¡¯s good."

    Professor Tao was ashamed. He didn¡¯t expect himself to need to trouble his son in the end.

    "It¡¯s a trifle."

    Tao Lijun smiled and said, "Father, have your meal first. I¡¯ll go and settle this."

    Outside the door.

    Tao Lijun¡¯s expression became cold and detached. In this incident, his father was in the wrong. However, so what? Even if he was in the wrong, this was still his father! A mere salted fish would not be able to cause any waves.

    "Little Mu."

    Tao Lijun called, "Deal with something for me."

    Chapter 17: Assassination

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Gold City.

    Chen Feng, who was preparing to produce gene reagents, paused as he looked at the information appearing on his wristband screen. The gene reagent that he had assigned a short while ago was actually sold again!

    Fourth time!

    "Already got 400,000 from the sales."

    Chen Feng muttered to himself. Seemed like he had still underestimated Professor Tao¡¯s financial capability.

    Perhaps...

    He could earn enough money for the second form through this?

    Chen Feng felt absurd. Combat gene forms were extremely expensive. He had been making preparations to purchase abat gene form, yet he did not expect to earn 400,000 through this method!

    Professor Tao, how long could youst?

    Chen Feng was curious.

    After a busy day, Chen Feng went to the neighborhood for his meal as usual.

    His lifestyle was really very simple and had remained the same these few days. Apart from leaving his house for his three meals per day at the neighborhood, he would usually spend his time in his rented house and researching gene production.

    "Little Chen, morning."

    Early in the morning, Uncle Zhang¡¯s shop was already open for business.

    "Morning, Uncle Zhang."

    Chen Feng smiled.

    "I heard that you were not invited to that little girl Su Jin¡¯sing of age ceremony yesterday?" Uncle Zhang asked suddenly.

    Su Jin?

    Who was that?

    Chen Feng nked momentarily before he suddenly recalled. Oh, Su Jin, a female student from their ss. Like everyone else, during high school, a goddess that captivated everyone and caused everyone¡¯s hormone to excessively secrete would exist. And this person was evidently the one that the original owner was secretly in love with.

    However, the original owner knew himself very well. Knowing his status, he had always maintained a normal friendship with her.

    "You always mentioned that girl to Uncle Zhang in the past."

    Uncle Zhang suddenly sighed. "I originally thought that she would invite you. Unexpectedly, after you failed the examinations, this girl... sigh."

    Chen Fengughed involuntarily.

    He received a vast majority of the news regarding his schoolmates from Uncle Zhang. As for their attitude towards him...

    Mhm, he was extremely satisfied.

    Truly.

    It would be truly inconvenient if these students were to maintain contact with him every day. It was sufficient for him to asionally get some news from Uncle Zhang, fulfilling his obligation as a fellow schoolmate.

    "It¡¯s fine."

    Chen Feng smiled. "Uncle Zhang, I¡¯m going to have my meal first. Talkter."

    "Alright."

    Uncle Zhang was still feeling regretful.

    Chen Feng walked toward a nearby restaurant. Although there was only some simple fast food that tasted normal, it suited Chen Feng, since he did not want to waste his time. Chen Feng finished his meal in a few minutes and walked home with the gene materials. He did not want to waste too much time.

    Returning to the neighborhood, Chen Feng walked past a well-shaded alley, a ce he was familiar with. Reaching the ce where Wang Yue had appearedst time, Chen Feng¡¯s steps paused and he stopped walking.

    His consciousness that had been on high alert for 20 years was giving him a bad feeling.

    The air was somewhat cold.

    Although it was well-shaded here, it was the summer after all.

    This type of feeling...

    "Weird, who¡¯s sending me messages again."

    Chen Feng muttered and casually yed with his wristband. At this, he felt the chilly aura somewhat recede. Inwardly, he already had an idea.

    One step, two steps...

    Chen Feng yed with his wristband as he walked slowly. He appeared to be checking the messages seriously while the chilly aura in his surroundings quietly enveloped him.

    Three steps, four steps...

    Suddenly.

    "Whoosh!"

    A dreadful shadow dashed out of the tree shade.

    Tree shade!

    Indeed! The tree shade!

    That dreadful shadow was actually concealed within the tree shade. If one did not have high vignce, it would not be noticed at all! Even if it was noticed, one would still not know which angle the attack would being from! This was a mystical gic ability that allowed one to blend into the shadows.

    It was extremely scary!

    At this moment, killing intent blossomed.

    And at this moment, Chen Feng was looking at his wristband with his head lowered. He seemed to have not noticed the movement behind him at all. The sudden iing attack had chosen an extremely tricky angle.

    "Hu!"

    An air-piercing sound could be heard. Apanied by a whistling sound, that sharp chilly glint came down with a speed so fast one couldn¡¯t catch up with it. However, just as the shadow was on the brink of killing Chen Feng, he identally saw what was on Chen Feng¡¯s wristband. A familiar-looking silhouette was shown on the screen. That silhouette was actually him!

    That wristband was actually recording?

    When had it started?

    Immediately, the shadow had an ominous feeling. A surging power burst out from the body of this person whom he did not care about at all.

    "Whoosh!"

    Blue light flickered.

    That was a blue colored light de. Under the sunshine, it glittered.

    "Wind de?"

    The shadow was immediately relieved.

    It was actually this kind of trashy gic ability? Although this kind of Wind de was still a spiritual attack, the attack power, on the other hand, was pitifully weak. At least to him...

    "Whoosh!"

    Another Wind de followed closely behind.

    "The probability was triggered?" the shadow thought.

    If it was only two Wind des, he wasn¡¯t really bothered. However, at that moment, another blue light flickered, followed by one after another...

    "?!?!"

    The shadow opened his eyes wide.

    "Whoosh!"

    "Whoosh!"

    "Whoosh!"

    When a series of blue light burst out in front of him, he was scared stupid! What the heck was this? Wasn¡¯t the probability 5%?

    "Block! Block! Block!"

    The shadow managed to block the first few attacks, but he was pierced through by thetter light shes.

    He was too near!

    Due to his absolute confidence in his strength, he had not noticed the terrifying hidden power of his opponent!

    "Pu!"

    "Pu!"

    The light de pierced through.

    Blood sttered about.

    Over 10 light des pierced through the shadow¡¯s body. His eyes were wide open. Even now, he did not understand what damnable gic ability those continuous light des were.

    "Putong."

    The shadow fell on the ground.

    "Still not dead?"

    Chen Feng felt a lingering fear as he thought of it.

    Under support of Luck Aura, the limit of 10 Wind des per second was unleashed. The continuous 30 Wind des was actually unable to kill this shadow. How strong was this fellow exactly? He had always been worried of this world¡¯s dangers hence he never left home easily. Yet he was still sought out by others.

    "Who sent you here?" Chen Feng asked in a low voice.

    Suffering extreme pain, the shadow struggled.

    However, if he could see his eyes, Chen Feng would notice the flickering cold glint within. Within the shadow¡¯s mouth, a silver needle quietly appeared. After performing so many missions, as a professional assassin, he certainly had ways to handle all sort of circumstances. This included¡ªcounter kill!

    As long as Chen Feng wished for him to stand up and answer the question, he would be able to release the silver needle from his mouth.

    To kill with one attack!

    "Actually, I..."

    The shadow opened his mouth as a silvery light blossomed.

    "Whoosh!"

    A dreadful cold glint was emitted.

    "Die!"

    The shadow¡¯s killing intent blossomed.

    "Shua!"

    A bizarre blue-colored light de appeared suddenly and hit the silver needle, skewing its direction. The shadow opened his eyes wide. He was actually prepared? How was this possible!

    Wasn¡¯t this a normal student?

    His methods...

    "Pu!"

    Endless light des blossomed.

    There were no longer any movements on the body of the shadow that was sprawled on the ground.

    Dead?

    Only now did Chen Feng rx.

    His unlucky previous life had given him a habit of always being on high alert. When the shadow had copsed earlier, the aura emitting from his body caused Chen Feng to feel an iparable sense of danger. Hence, he prepared in advance.

    Although this was his first time killing someone, the expected after-effects of killing someone where one vomited and felt dizzy did not appear. Seemed like everyone¡¯s physique differed to some extent. Chen Feng was iparably calm instead. This was probably because he had already epted the rules of this world.

    However, who was it that wanted him dead?

    Wang Yue?

    Impossible.

    Chen Feng shook his head.

    Those words of his back then were to nt a thorn in Wang Yue¡¯s heart, so that he would want to prevail over Chen Feng fair and square! Based on his understanding of Wang Yue, that fellow would definitely personallye to kill Chen Feng after bing strong. It would be even better if he could step on him in the public eye. This was more fitting with Wang Yue¡¯s nature.

    To do it now? Unlikely.

    Who could it be, then?

    Chen Feng muttered to himself when he suddenly thought of something. Could it be...

 Chapter 18: Extremely Expensive Gene!

    Chapter 18: Extremely Expensive Gene!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Now that a death had happened in the neighborhood, there were matters that needed to be handled no matter what.

    Chen Feng thought about it. He did not know many people here and most of them were onlymon citizens. The only one he could contact seemed to be Uncle Zhang.

    "Uncle Zhang."

    Chen Feng contacted Uncle Zhang and roughly told him what had happened. After hearing it, Uncle Zhang reacted quickly. As he saw the shadow lying on the ground, he was iparably amazed. "You are the killer?"

    "Ah."

    Chen Feng scratched his head. "Just as I returned, I noticed this person assassinating me."

    "Good fellow."

    Uncle Zhang eximed in admiration, "So you were actually doing well enough to qualify for getting assassinated? Normal citizens like us would not receive this kind of treatment our whole life."

    "..."

    This point that he concentrated on seemed a bit off, right?

    "Haha. Just trying to lighten up the mood here."

    Uncle Zhang was also a carefree person. He smiled and flipped the corpse around. "Shadow gene, able to conceal within the shadows. A standard F-ss assassin. No worries of getting dragged into a court case. The police will handle this. The most important problem now is when have you, kid, provoked these people?"

    "I¡¯m not too clear as well."

    Chen Feng was feeling doubtful.

    "I¡¯ll search a bit."

    Uncle Zhang opened the shadow¡¯s wristband. "Although this thing looks unreliable, it still couldn¡¯t escape from having a normalputer¡¯s operational method. For example, this custom-made data saving chip."

    Uncle Zhang carefully nipped out a data saving chip and entered it into his own gene detector. A huge amount of garbled characters flickered. Only a few words could be distinguished.

    Gene...

    Mutation...

    Apart from this, the others were all garbled characters.

    "Seems like no useful information can be found."

    Uncle Zhang shook his head as he sighed.

    "No, I already know who it is."

    Cold light flickered in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes. Although he had guessed it, now that he received confirmation, he still couldn¡¯t suppress the rage in his heart. "This should be a person that I had provoked in the virtualmunity. I originally thought that it could be handled with regr methods. I did not expect him to be so vicious."

    This was the same as ying a game. Everyone was PK-ing and fighting in the game and trolling in the world chat. Surprisingly, since the opponent couldn¡¯t defeat you, they found your home address based on your IP address and nned to stab you at your home.

    Now, Chen Feng was very angry.

    He was angry at himself!

    In the end, he had still underestimated the ruthlessness of this world.

    His requirements were really low. Since hecked money now, as long as the opponent bought the reagents at a high price, this matter would be settled. Who cared about the title of third mutation¡¯s researcher?

    Apart from Professor Tao, who else would consider this as the aplishment of a lifetime?

    He was even prepared to make a deal.

    However...

    "I have been neglectful."

    Chen Feng rubbed his head. "However, what I¡¯m more curious about is how they found me?"

    He did not remember the virtualmunity having something like an IP address.

    "It¡¯s some mysterious-type gic ability."

    At this time, Uncle Zhang stated, "There are a myriad of gene mutations in this world. There are some abilities that have some peculiar uses due to the ability being somewhat unusual."

    "For example¡ªthe ck demonic eye gene."

    "That¡¯s a peculiar gene originating from the ck demonic beast. After gene fusion, one would be able to obtain its ability. Within 500 kilometers, nothing can be hidden. However, this kind of thing is usually used when searching for a criminal. Surprisingly, the opponent actually used it on you."

    After Uncle Zhang finished, Chen Feng could only smile forcefully.

    "Don¡¯t worry. Although this ability is difficult to deal with, it has a lot of limitations as well. It¡¯s not something easily utilized. One needs to be at least D-ss or above to use it, and the usage conditions are also quite harsh. Furthermore, it¡¯s not something unstoppable. There¡¯s a particr alloy that is able to easily block it off."

    Uncle Zhang smiled as he stated.

    "Oh? Where can I buy that alloy?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes lit up. He did not want to be watched wherever he went.

    "Wait a bit."

    Uncle Zhang searched himself for a short while and fished out a small tablet that looked like a coin. "Here, this thing here. When you go back, just put a rope through it and wear it."

    "Many thanks."

    Chen Feng took it. "But then, Uncle Zhang, this thing must be very valuable. I..."

    "Hua."

    Uncle Zhang fished out a huge pile from his pockets, "If it¡¯s not enough, I can still give you a few more?"

    "..."

    Just pretend he hadn¡¯t said those earlier words.

    "Uncle Zhang, what did you do in the past?"

    Chen Feng said curiously. In the original owner¡¯s memories, Uncle Zhang was a normal middle-aged uncle. Only after his transmigration had he noticed some details.

    To hell with middle-aged uncle!

    Your family¡¯s middle-aged uncle could take a wristband apart?

    Your family¡¯s middle-aged uncle knew how to perform anti-reconnaissance?

    Your family¡¯s middle-aged uncle could still joke around to lighten up the mood when facing a corpse?

    "Nothing much. I was a soldier for two years and was expelled afterward."

    Uncle Zhang sighed endlessly.

    Chen Feng was immediately awed.

    Soldier...

    In this age, those able to be a soldier were definitely not weak! It seemed like Uncle Zhang was also a person with a story when young. However, since Uncle Zhang did not want to talk about it, Chen Feng did not ask too much.

    "Kid, you go back first. Leave here to me."

    "When the police arrive, I will settle it. It is still not suitable for you to show your face," Uncle Zhang said.

    "Many thanks."

    Chen Feng was endlessly thankful.

    Since he knew that Uncle Zhang was a soldier, this kind of small matter shouldn¡¯t be an issue. He did not refuse and instead went home carrying the lumberbear gene.

    "This kid really epted the favor without a second thought."

    Uncle Zhang shook his head as he smiled.

    He felt somewhat gratified as he looked at the wounds on the corpse in detail.

    "This kid."

    "Seems to have many methods, eh."

    **

    Returning to his room, the smile on Chen Feng¡¯s face vanished.

    No matter what, he did not expect the person that sent the assassin to be Professor Tao! Something that could be originally settled with money would actually develop to such an extent!

    Was he brainless?

    Did he overestimate these people¡¯s IQ? Or had he underestimated their methods?

    Chen Feng inhaled and calmed himself down.

    Since the opponent had dered war, he would not hold back anymore!

    As for assassination?

    Hehe.

    He couldn¡¯t be bothered at all. Wang Yue did it once. The shadow did it once. They really thought it was so easy to assassinate him? With his high level of alertnessbined with luck value, Chen Feng was sure that even if he couldn¡¯t win the fight, it still wouldn¡¯t be a problem for him to escape. This was, after all, still the urban district. They wouldn¡¯t dare to take any huge actions.

    "You all wanted to y, right?"

    "Then let me have a nice game with you all."

    Chen Feng sneered.

    As Chen Feng looked at the draft of the thread in his mail that he had previously prepared, he paused and abruptly deleted the title. Since he wanted to sway the public opinion, a more sensational title was required.

    And this kind of title...

    Chen Feng smiled abruptly. He knew way too many of these.

    **

    Late night on the same day, a lumberbear gene reagent was assigned for sale at 1,000,000 at the virtualmunity¡¯s business district. It caused a sensation in the virtualmunity. Even the learning forum was affected.

    Countless people were awakened in the middle of the night.

    "It appeared!"

    "The lumberbear gene¡¯s third mutation really appeared."

    "Shit, it really exists?"

    At this moment, a lot of people started to truly notice the existence of this thing. After all, it was bought straight away the previous few times before anyone had managed to see it.

    And now...

    "Madman!"

    "This is a madman!"

    Professor Tao started scolding.

    To be awakened by his assistant at midnight, it was surprisingly due to this damnable mutated gene again! That fellow actually increased the price by tenfold! Did he really treat him as a rich guy waiting for ughter? Even he did not have so much money! The only thing that caused him to be gratified was the fact that even in such circumstances; he still had a lot of supporters at the learning forum.

    "Professor Tao¡¯s prediction was actually correct."

    "He¡¯s really great."

    "Yeah, nobody dared to think in this direction at all."

    Everyone was sighing in contemtion.

    However, a lot of people remained doubtful as well.

    And it was at this extremely sensitive moment that a single thread caused the whole learning forum to immediately explode. It stunned everyone. It was not only due to the content within. There was also the atrocious title¡ªShocking! After reading, a man would turn taciturn while a woman would shed tears! The truth of the lumberbear gene¡¯s third mutation was actually...

 Chapter 19: Canâ€™t Escape from Own Crime!

    Chapter 19: Can¡¯t Escape from Own Crime!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Damn!"

    "This title is somewhat scary, ah."

    "Did something big happen?"

    Everyone opened the thread curiously and was immediately stunned.

    In the thread, it was described in detail how things began with a gene producer consulting Professor Tao about the third mutation and getting himself angrily rebuked, yet when he assigned the gene for sale as a means of proving his innocence, it ended up getting stolen by Professor Tao as his own result, who then released it, etc. Finally, the gene that was recently put on sale was even highlighted as a deration of war¡ª

    "Professor Tao, one million. Can you still afford it?"

    This thread had lit up!

    Totally lit up!

    Even the learning forum did not dare to delete it anymore.

    Because there were too many replies, because of the gene worth one million, because of this surprising title, this thread was unimaginably hot.

    "There¡¯s actually such a matter?"

    "Damn. Professor Tao overdid it."

    "Although the content is correct, I don¡¯t know why I still feel like beating this fellow up. This thread¡¯s title was too much of a clickbait, right?"

    "Feel like beating someone +1."

    Countless people started discussing spiritedly.

    However, Professor Tao was able to quickly retort.

    Although he was greedy, he was not stupid. He was able to find the weak point in a short while, "Someone was able to produce a mutated reagent by fluke and wanted to be popr by discrediting me. Setting the price at one million to create a marketing effect, this is a total publicity stunt! I hereby beseech everyone not to purchase his gene reagent and let him profit from this."

    Countless people liked the post immediately.

    After all, Professor Tao¡¯s reputation at the learning forum was not something a random username can discredit.

    "Who dares to open a new ount to discredit the professor?"

    "Yeah, this is obviously fame seeking."

    "With his understanding of the lumberbear gene, does Professor Tao still need to steal the results of others? What a joke."

    "Supporting the professor."

    However, just as this piece of news was getting hot, another thread appeared¡ªUnexpected appearance of another mutated lumberbear gene at the business district, still selling at the staggering price of one million yuan!

    Those praising Professor Tao abruptlyid down their gs and stilled their drums.

    Fluke?

    Could two times in a row be a fluke?

    After all, in Professor Tao¡¯s guide, it was written that the probability was 1 in 100 million.

    In response, Professor Tao reacted immediately.

    He directly posted the four gene reagents he had and highlighted the research results. "1 in 100 million was the initial result of my research. Changes will definitely ur as the research progresses. What can posting two gene reagents at the business district prove? I still have four of them here!"

    "Perhaps some friends out there managed to produce some mutated genes due to my research paper. But this doesn¡¯t mean that you can smear me."

    Professor Tao finished his writings righteously.

    The public opinion was swayed once again.

    "Is it over?"

    Professor Tao was already drenched in sweat.

    This matter should end with this.

    With these words, no matter how many gene reagents his opponent posted, it would not be able to change the results. However, with this fiasco, he had still left too many weak points and regrets behind.

    This way, it could be considered as the whole thing turning out to be the best out of the worst, right?

    Professor Tao smiled bitterly.

    The matter had not calmed down for long before the learning forum started bustling again. Even Professor Tao¡¯smunication tool was buzzing without stop. As he subconsciously nced at it, his face paled.

    Something bad had happened!

    He didn¡¯t know why, but some people who had participated in the discussion in Chen Feng¡¯s original thread started popping out. "This matter is actually very simple. As long as the learning forum publicize the deleted thread, wouldn¡¯t things be clear?"

    "Yeah, how simple."

    "I answered questions there before. It was really deleted by the learning forum!"

    "+1! Professor Tao had clearly answered that it was impossible back then!"

    "On what basis did the forum delete the thread?"

    "The learning forum can defend a gene producer¡¯s rights. However, this doesn¡¯t mean that they can act as an aplice to the tiger[1]! They must make public the deleted thread to prove their innocence."

    "Back then, it was deleted due to Professor Tao¡¯s report. Now that Professor Tao is the one infringing on the rights of someone else, shouldn¡¯t Professor Tao be deleted to return the other person¡¯s innocence?"

    A lot of people started protesting at the learning forum.

    Countless lurkers started appearing and expressing their attention on this incident. Also included among these lurkers were a lot of genuine grandmasters! Stealing a research result? This incident had be something extremely serious.

    I¡¯m finished!

    Professor Tao was sweating like it was raining.

    He knew that he would be finished the moment that thread was exposed.

    What should he do?

    Oh, right. Son!

    "Little Jun."

    Professor Tao frantically called Tao Lijun over. "You have a certain level of influence at the learning forum due to your identity. This matter must be covered up!"

    "As long as the learning forum does not expose that incident, there won¡¯t be any problems!"

    "At most, those people will only be scolding online. When time goes on, this matter will settle down after being ignored."

    Professor Tao was sweating all over.

    "Understood."

    Tao Lijun nodded slightly.

    However, he was inwardly puzzled.

    The assassin he had sent had disappeared. And now, when he hired someone else to trace that person, he could no longer be traced. Was the one his father had offended really an ordinary person?

    He was somewhat anxious.

    "You must hold the ground!"

    Professor Tao wiped his sweat. "Since that fellow can get the form through research, I can do the same. As long as I manage to get the form through research in a few days time..."

    "I can recover my reputation!"

    "I have four mutated gene reagents in my hands. I will definitely get some results byparing them with normal reagents."

    Professor Tao started his research immediately.

    However, before he even started making any headway, more explosive news exploded on the inte.

    Wind Pavilion.

    The gene shop¡¯s owner actually came out!

    He had no other choice. The two assignments of genes worth one million each and that terrifying service charge had immediately awakened him. Only after going online did he know what had happened.

    After flipping through the sales records, he immediately made the correct choice.

    To release the transaction records!

    The four gene reagents of Professor Tao¡¯s were actually all bought from here!

    Everyone was stupefied.

    "Shit!"

    "So it was actually true..."

    "66666666[2]. A good move by Professor Tao."

    "All four of them were purchased there. Doesn¡¯t that mean Professor Tao did not produce a single one by himself? Everything was produced by someone else?"

    "Scary!"

    "A magnificent gics professor, high level gene producer, would actually..."

    The whole learning forum exploded.

    Nobody expected the very Professor Tao that was honored with all type of praises had actually stolen all the results! He even did such an awful thing!

    At this time, the learning forum could no longer hold their ground.

    Are you kidding?!

    It was still fine if the transaction records were not released. Now that the transaction records had been released, who could continue covering it up?

    "Requesting to release the deleted thread."

    "We want to see the truth of what happened."

    Under the requests of countless people, the learning forum finally released the deleted thread¡ªIs there a possibility for lumberbear gene to have a third mutation?

    The moment the thread appeared, countless people went over to read it.

    Professor Tao¡¯s righteous answer within shocked everyone. He cursed in rage at a student and angrily rebuked that it was impossible for the third mutation to exist?

    The next day, the thread was immediately deleted while he himself released the research results?

    Afterparing it with the timestamp in the transaction records, the truth was revealed!

    Rapidly, the media started releasing this news and shocked the whole academia.

    Professor Tao¡ªa wolf in sheep¡¯s clothing! Disgrace of the academia! A hypocrite with a repulsive countenance! Humans and gods were angered! A student¡¯s research results were stolen! etc. Everything Professor Tao had done the past few days was exposed. This caused everyone from the learning forum and academic circles to raise up in arms.

    The Professor Tao that returned in glory two days ago turned into someone that everyone condemned like a rat crossing the street.

    Shortly after, a certain gene university dered their expulsion of Professor Tao. The Gene Production Association had also reached arbitration on Professor Tao¡¯s actions, confiscated all his rewards, and had his name stricken off for life.

    Professor Tao was truly finished.

    Completely losing his standing!

    "Why..."

    "Why would things be this way?!"

    Professor Tao¡¯s eyes dimmed as he started breaking everything in his house.

    He could not ept it!

    Why did everyone suddenly stand opposite him? And that gene shop, just silently earn your money. Why did youe out? There was also the learning forum. In the past, he only needed to report an infringement and the forum would delete the thread immediately. Now they would actually throw stones on someone who fell down a well?

    Indeed, none of them were good.

    Professor Tao cursed in rage.

    It had never crossed his mind that the basis for the support he enjoyed from the learning forum was due to him being a person of virtue and prestige. It was due to their acknowledgement of his status. As soon as problems started arising from that basis...

    All types of support became a joke.

    "Father."

    Tao Lijun sighed, wanting tofort his father.

    "There¡¯s also you!"

    Professor Tao rebuked angrily, "I thought you were supposed to settle this for me?! Didn¡¯t I tell you to cover it up? I only need a few days to get the form from my research!"

    "You are useless!"

    Professor Tao yelled and drove everyone out.

    "Sigh."

    Tao Lijun sighed and walked out the room. The helplessness on his face became ice-cold the moment he left the house. "Regardless of who you are, this does not end here!"

    Gold City.

    Within the rented house, Chen Feng was very calm.

    With everything exposed, this matter could be considered to havee to an end. The transaction record leak was the result of hismunication with Wind Pavilion, and the price for it was the service charge for the second mutated gene reagent, worth 50,000. The spam army at the forum was hired by Mu Yuan. Doing both of these together, they were able to force Professor Tao to show his true colors.

    "I have earned a huge amount. I can be considered to have profited from this."

    Chen Feng looked at the bnce in his bank ount.

    Even after deducting the service charge worth 100,000, the sales he had made these days, and the few extremely expensive mutated genes, had earned him precisely 500,000 yuan!

    However...

    For him, this was far from enough.

    "This little money is totally not enough."

    Chen Feng¡¯s head ached.

    Three months time seemed to be a long time. In truth, it was very short. Under normal circumstances, it was already an amazing feat for a gene producer to increase their production level by 2 stars in such a small amount of time! Chen Feng¡¯s current speed of increase far exceeded them, but he was stuck due to ack of forms.

    "I need to think of other methods."

    Chen Feng nked out as he looked at the screen in front of him.

    The Gic Union¡¯s mission?

    Chen Feng had seen their missions before. The difficulty level of the missions there were not something a rookie like him couldplete. Furthermore, the return was lower than gene production!

    Chen Feng started to inquire online on ways to quickly earn gene forms. The inte had also given him a lot of methods such as robbing, prostitution, gambling, etc. Chen Feng smiled bitterly. Apparently, due to his visit to these websites, all sorts of advertisements were now popping up on his screen.

    As Chen Feng was preparing to close them off, he was momentarily stunned as he stared at one of the advertisement for a long time. He was not attracted by the scantily d big sister on it. He was paying attention to the main point, which was the content of the advertisement. Within, it contained information on a gambling system simr to a slot machine.

    "Slot machine..."

    Chen Feng contemted.

    He would definitely not go to those ces advertised. However, if it was only a slot machine, the entertainment district of the virtualmunity seemed to have this thing?

    Slot machine!

    Lottery!

    With a cheat ability such as Luck Aura, if he were to y these, he might be able to make a huge profit with small capital?

    Chen Feng was enticed.

    Turning on the virtual equipment, Chen Feng entered the virtualmunity and directly walked toward the entertainment district.

    At the corner of the virtual theme park.

    There¡ª

    A machine he was extremely familiar with was ced. A slot machine. Despite it being somewhat different from the slot machines of earth, they still generally resembled each other.

    Three bananas, a reward of one gene-fusion reagent.

    Three apples, a reward of one gene-enhancement reagent.

    Three pineapples, a reward of one gene-reagent form.

    ...

    A total of 10 tiers of rewards. Apart from the gene forms, the other rewards couldn¡¯t be considered as expensive things. This was, after all, a small business. Everyone would be happy with some small gifts. Furthermore, these virtual entertainment districts banned the usage of abilities. Hence, the shop owners were not worried at all that people would cheat.

    "Let me try."

    Chen Feng started operating a slot machine.

    Luck Aura¡ªactivate!

    Hua!

    "Three pineapples! Three pineapples! Three pineapples!" Chen Feng chanted inwardly.

    If the Luck Aura really worked as he guessed, then what was going to appear would definitely be three pineapples! Shortly after, the slots stopped one by one.

    First one, pineapple!

    Second one, pineapple!

    The people around him abruptly stopped their steps. "Shit, two pineapples?"

    "The third pineapple won¡¯t really appear, right?"

    "I have never seen it."

    The nearby people started gathering around him to watch.

    Chen Feng was not bothered with them. Instead, he was looking at the third slot slowly moving before ultimately reaching the pineapple sign and stopping.

    Three pineapples!

    It appeared!

    "Whoosh¡ª"

    The whole entertainment district exploded.

    "Shit. Pineapple. Really three of them appearing!"

    "God. Is it real? Even the lowest level form would be worth 100,000, right? Only 100 yuan to run this slot machine once, this kid made a huge profit!"

    "Too unbelievable."

    Everyone eximed in admiration.

    Even the owner of the theme park was shocked. He rushed over and stared at the slot machine in shock with his eyes opened wide. He evidently didn¡¯t dare to believe this was happening.

    "Pa!"

    He pped the slot machine, getting no reaction from it.

    He pped it again.

    Still no reaction.

    Finally, he looked at Chen Feng with a stupefied face. "Big bro, this machine was broken..."

    "Xu¡ª"

    A hissing sound reverberated around them.

    "You are being shameless!"

    "Yeah, where goes the most basic of trust?"

    Everyone started jeering.

    "Broken?"

    Chen Feng was suspicious as well.

    "It¡¯s really broken."

    The owner did not know whether tough or cry. "Otherwise, it is impossible for three pineapples to appear."

    "Why?"

    Chen Feng was bbergasted.

    "Because we did not set three pineapples as one of the avable options at all," the owner stated without any feeling of shame.

    "Xu¡ª"

    The hissing sounds around them became even louder. In order to prove that his machine was really broken, the owner did not even care about his face anymore. He had the nerve to admit that he did not set three pineapples as one of the options?

    "No?"

    Chen Feng was somewhat astonished.

    If it wasn¡¯t set...

    The Luck Aura had unexpectedly disyed it¡¯s usage in this aspect.

    And it was at this moment that Chen Feng noticed the luck values on his screen had actually decreased greatly. Only three pineapples, yet five points of luck value were exhausted!

    It was equivalent to him producing two-and-a-half mutated genes!

    All these were not the main point. The main point was that the Luck Aura, which was only able to affect the probability, was actually able to produce these kind of ¡®idents¡¯!

    Coincidence?

    Or...

    "We really don¡¯t have pineapples."

    The owner did not feel any shame at all. "However, we have everything else apart from pineapples. Why don¡¯t you try other machines? This machine was really out of service."

    "Where¡¯s your face?"

    The surroundings jeered.

    "Alright."

    Chen Feng was not bothered with the crowd and walked to another slot machine. Although the exhaustion of luck values caused his heart to somewhat ache, he really wanted to figure out what had really happened.

    Whoosh!

    He started pressing the button.

    Right before the slots stopped, he activated the Luck Aura!

    First one¡ªpineapple!

    Second one¡ªpineapple!

    Everyone opened their eyes wide. Shit. Another two pineapples? The third one wouldn¡¯t be another pineapple, right? Even the shop owner was badly frightened.

    Yet they could only look on as the third slot slowly floated in front of the pineapple sign and, with a ka cha sound, stopped.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone inhaled a mouthful of cold air. It really was three pineapples again!

    "F*ck!"

    The owner¡¯s vision darkened, and he almost fainted on the spot.

    How was this possible?

    "Indeed..."

    Chen Feng contemted.

    Three pineapples again while his luck value decreased by five points.

    "What toy is this?"

    The owner walked over and patted the machine with a sullen face. "Broken again. It¡¯s broken again!"

    Chen Feng ignored him.

    As he reached another slot machine, he casually started operating it.

    Shua!

    Three bananas appeared, and the crowd eximed in admiration.

    As Chen Feng looked at the luck value that was only exhausted by one point, he finally understood.

    Firstly, Luck Aura was very powerful.

    Even the three pineapples that were not set as an option could be forced out through the machine malfunctioning. This was no longer something as simple as probability.

    Secondly, this kind of ¡®ident¡¯ had a very high exhaustion rate of luck value.

    Under normal circumstances, increasing the probability was totally not a problem for the Luck Aura. One point of luck value was sufficient. However, to cause an ¡®ident¡¯ forcefully, the luck value would be exhausted rapidly! Furthermore, if he had not guessed wrongly, the magnitude of these ¡®idents¡¯ were in direct proportion with the exhaustion of the luck value.

    Apart from this, it was very easy for Chen Feng to purely affect the probabilities.

    For example¡ª

    The third mutated gene!

    For example¡ª

    Unlimitedbo of Wind de!

    "If it¡¯s like this... If I were to participate in something like the lottery, there would be a possibility of me not being able to win the prize?" Chen Feng contemted.

    Firstly, you did not know which round of the lottery draw the luck value would affect. Secondly, a vast majority of these lottery draws had trickery involved. It was very probable for it to be the same as the three pineapples today. It would probably be even harder! The amount of luck value he needed to exhaust would be very high! Furthermore, he might even lose his capital! The water truly ran deep here.

    "No matter what, I need to give it a try."

    Suddenly, the owner grabbed Chen Feng¡¯s legs, "Boss, please let me off, ah."

    "..."

 Chapter 21: Gene Warehouse

    Chapter 21: Gene Warehouse

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Please let me off."

    The owner started tearing up. "Boss, this is a small business we have here. From the moment you came in, I could see that you were a person with extraordinary talent. However, if you continue doing this, all the machines will be broken! How about this, I will immediately go and prepare the gene reagents that you won. Can your honored self please stop?"

    "..."

    The guy was behaving as if he had done some terrible deeds.

    "Really."

    "If you continue ying, we can only go bankrupt," the shop owner begged.

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. He was only here to test out Luck Aura.

    "Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t be reckless."

    Chen Feng did not know whether tough or cry. Only after making a bunch of promises did the owner let go of him.

    This time, Chen Feng did not use the Luck Aura and casually yed a few times. Indeed, only normal signs appeared. The shop owner, on the other hand, was anxiously looking at Chen Feng with a bottle of lumberbear gene in his hands.

    Chen Feng felt helpless and could only choose to leave.

    This was a theme park where entertainment was the main selling point. A lot of people were only here to have some fun. There was no need for Chen Feng to destroy their small businesses.

    Furthermore, he had already obtained what he wanted most.

    Returning to reality in his rented house, Chen Feng finished his final calctions.

    The Luck Aura could easily affect normal probability rates, regardless of how small the probability was. However, as soon as ¡®idents¡¯ were involved, the exhaustion rate for the luck value would be extremely huge!

    In regards to the Luck Aura, these were extremely rare urrences.

    For example¡ªcausing the slot machine to be broken by ¡®ident.¡¯

    "What if it¡¯s the lottery..."

    Chen Feng looked at the remaining 12 points of luck value he had. He opened a lottery website that was about to draw the lot and purchased a ticket after activating Luck Aura.

    After that, the lots were drawn.

    Shua!

    The remaining luck value dropped to the bottom immediately.

    12 points of luck value were used up.

    "Congrattions for winning the first prize."

    In his screen, a dialog box popped up.

    Afterparing the prizes with his lottery ticket, Chen Feng shook his head helplessly.

    First prize: 50,000 yuan.

    Special prize: 500,000 yuan!

    Chen Feng had been aiming for the special prize, yet the final result he got was first prize. This could only prove one thing: this lottery system did not set the special prize as an option at all! And if he wanted to cause an ¡®ident¡¯ so he could win the special prize, 12 points of luck value were far from enough!

    Hence¡ª

    He only won the first prize.

    "It¡¯s a loss after all."

    Chen Feng spread his hands. This kind of thing was unreliable, after all.

    If he were to use the 12 points of luck value to produce mutated lumberbear genes, he could produce six of them! Even if he were to sell them at the lowest price, he could still get 120,000 yuan!

    After deducting the costs, he would still be making a profit of 90,000 yuan. After the calction, he had actually made a loss this time.

    "This prize..."

    Chen Feng could only forcefully smile.

    Seemed like it wasn¡¯t possible for meat to fall from the skies. There had to be some legitimate ones among all these lotteries. However, after Chen Feng roughly swept through the list, there were around 4,000 to 5,000 of them avable currently! He couldn¡¯t try them one by one, right? This was a pit that he absolutely couldn¡¯t enter.

    "Small gambles will cost one¡¯s money, while big gambles will cost one¡¯s life."

    Chen Feng sighed endlessly.

    He continued looking for information on forms online, but he couldn¡¯t find any useful information.

    "I can only buy?"

    Chen Feng was somewhat disappointed. He decided to ask Mu Yuan about it. This fellow had be a gene producer much earlier than him. He ought to know some other ways to obtain forms.

    Chen Feng contacted Mu Yuan and roughly exined his requirements.

    Mu Yuan was silent for a long time.

    "What¡¯s up?"

    Chen Feng was curious.

    "You are saying that, at present, you only know the lumberbear gene?"

    Mu Yuan looked like he was about to copse as he stared at Chen Feng unbelievably. "That means... you haven¡¯t even collected the free form during the beginner producer¡¯s certification?"

    Chen Feng paused. "What is beginner producer¡¯s certification?"

    "..."

    Mu Yuan paused for precisely five seconds.

    As he looked at Chen Feng, who was waiting for his exnation, he could only ept this truth¡ªthis fellow that had produced a powerful mutated reagent, that had stepped on Professor Tao, actually hadn¡¯t obtained the producer¡¯s certificate! What age was he living in? This fellow actually imitated those from ancient times and cultivated deep in the mountains like a hermit?

    "Then why did you tell me you were a beginner producer when we met previously?" Mu Yuan said angrily.

    "It was shown on the data screen."

    Chen Feng looked at the beginner gene production shown on his data screen, acting veryposed.

    "That was only an evaluation." Mu Yuan smiled forcefully. "Alright. I will seriously exin it to you."

    "The data on the date screen was only for you to evaluate yourself. It can only be used as a reference, like a personal record. Personal record, understand? Some people can even cheat by modifying their data screen! Naturally, they can only amuse themselves with this. It has no real use!"

    "To be a true gene producer, one needs to go to the Gene Production Association and take their examination to be certified. In order to encourage everyone to get certified, the Gene Production Association provides a lot of benefits. There will be ample rewards whenever someone gets certified sessfully. For a beginner gene producer, the reward is a chance to choose a form from their form warehouse."

    "After all, the Gene Production Association still wants to see the gene production scene develop faster." Mu Yuan finished in one breath.

    "Freely choose a form?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shed.

    "..." Mu Yuan sighed. Boss, you concentrated on the wrong point, ah.

    He knew what Chen Feng was thinking about. He advised, "Although you can choose freely, I don¡¯t suggest you to choose a form with a high star rating. As you are getting certified as a beginner producer, you can only choose F-ss gene forms. Apart from being hard to produce, those F-ss forms with high star ratings have no other uses. Therefore, others would usually choose a form that is easy to learn so that they can quickly increase their ability."

    "I see."

    Chen Feng was enlightened. "Since that¡¯s the case, I can choose a 5-star form?"

    Mu Yuan¡¯s cheeks were streaming with tears.

    After talking with him for half a day, Chen Feng was not listening at all!

    "Boss, I know you are a genius."

    "However, wouldn¡¯t it be better to choose a form with higher difficulty when you be an intermediate-level producer or an advanced-level producer? Advancement would be easier if you were to choose a simpler form at beginner level. Things like form, they can only increase your production level when you have actually mastered them!"

    Mu Yuan gave his earnest and well-meaning advice.

    "Mhm, mhm. Yeah, I know."

    Chen Feng expressed his thanks. "I will go get certified first. Contact me anytime if there¡¯s anything."

    "..."

    This fellow wouldn¡¯t really n to choose some form with high star ratings, right?

    It should...

    Not be possible, right?

    Mu Yuan was not sure as well.

    Chen Feng was a genius that he looked highly upon. Fate seemed to bring them together, as they had worked together against Professor Tao previously. He did not want to watch on as Chen Feng chose a high-difficulty form and wasted his time. A lot of those F-ss forms with 4 or 5 stars of difficulty rating were something even those intermediate producers did not dare to lightly tread upon!

    "I hope you don¡¯t act recklessly," Mu Yuan muttered to himself.

    At this moment, Chen Feng was already headed toward the Gene Production Association in exhration.

    He understood Mu Yuan¡¯s suggestions. However, he knew his own circumstances. He could only make it to the Rookie Competition¡¯s signup by choosing a high difficulty form.

    At this time, he had no choice but to try his best!

    Gene Production Association.

    It was a huge building with 100 floors, located at the center of Gold City. All themunity and entertainment facilities around it were set up to serve the people in this building. Furthermore, this was only a branch at Gold City. From this, one could see how extraordinary the position of the Gene Production Association was.

    "Hello. I am here to get certified as a beginner producer."

    Chen Feng reached the lounge.

    "Alright. Please wait a moment."

    A pretty staff member helped Chen Feng with identity authentication, signing up, and going through the basic preparations for the examination before taking Chen Feng to a room.

    "Pleaseplete the written examination here first. After that, you only need to continuously produce three F-ss gene reagents."

    The staff member smiled sweetly. "You can call us anytime if you require anything."

    "Thanks."

    Chen Feng nodded.

    Worthy indeed of being the Gene Production Association. The customer service here was much better than he had imagined. Looking down on you due to your young age? Looking down on you due to your cheap clothing?

    Impossible.

    The more high-end a ce was, the higher their requirements would be on their customer service.

    Chen Feng walked into the room.

    There was no examiner. There was only a floating light screen on the table with a couple of webcams. It seemed like everything here would be automated.

    Chen Feng started to answer the questions.

    The questions on theoretical foundation were not hard. He only needed to recognize some materials. As for the subsequent practical examinations, Chen Feng chose three sets of lumberbear gene materials and let the staff members bring them in. He easily finished producing them and passed the beginner producer¡¯s examination just like that. Smoothly, without anything unexpected happening.

    "Congrattions, Mr. Chen Feng."

    The staff member smiled sweetly. "You are now a beginner producer. Your personal information has been updated. You can now choose a gene form for free."

    "Alright."

    Chen Feng was getting slightly emotional. Finally, he had reached this step.

    Whoosh!

    The screen flickered.

    Countless gene forms shed through before him.

    Chen Feng was so emotional he couldn¡¯t control himself. Even F-ss gene forms alone had a few hundred thousands of choices here. There were too many to count.

    Chen Feng thought for a while before choosing 5-star difficulty level.

    Whoosh!

    There were only 12 forms remaining. A vast majority of them had a scarlet red warning on themck of materials. These forms were too old. Part of the materials had disappeared. In this age, it was extremely hard to collect all the materials. As for the other forms for which the materials were still avable...

    Chen Feng looked at them and noticed that these materials were something he totally had no ess to.

    These forms should be something specially prepared for some specific uses. Due to their power being on the low side, their sses were reduced to F-ss. However, the limitations were extremely big. Chen Feng carefully looked through and found that almost all of these 5-star forms were not usable for him!

    Seemed like he could only choose among the 4-star forms.

    Chen Feng shook his head and filtered the list again.

    Compared to the 5-star forms, the quantity of 4-star forms were much higher. Chen Feng was able to easily find some of them with materials that were easier to gather.

    "This one."

    Chen Feng confirmed.

    "Alright."

    The staff member smiled sweetly. As the staff member looked at Chen Feng¡¯s choice, her mouth opened slightly and a look of shock surfaced on her face. It was actually this form!

 Chapter 22: Why Be So Petty and Low after Rebirth

    Chapter 22: Why Be So Petty and Low after Rebirth

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    ----

    Thundersnake Gene form

    Dificulty level: 4 stars

    Type: Special

    Usage: Produced from the Thundersnake¡¯s blood essence, requires a lot of different materials to bring out the mysterious power within the Thundersnake Gene, turning it into a type of special gene reagent.

    ----

    Within the light screen, the thundersnake gene reagent was reappearing non-stop in midair in the form of light images. Within the reagent, a light-green-colored small snake that was formed by lightning could be seen swimming around constantly. A power that caused one¡¯s heart to palpitate was being released. This was not a gene fusion reagent. Instead, it was a special-type one-off consumable item.

    Its might was astonishing! The production difficulty was even more astonishing!

    No wonder the staff member was astonished. Every day she saw a lot of people going through gene certification here. However, those that had chosen this gene forms that was considered to be hard even among the 4-star ones were extremely umon. One needed to know that choosing a suitablebat form would save one up to millions in funds.

    As for this form?

    It was very probable that one could not even learn it!

    Furthermore, regardless of whether one looked at it from the perspective of increasing beginner production level or money making, these special-type 4-star forms were not a good choice. This was because, from the moment of its conception, these high-difficulty forms only existed to fulfill some specific requirements. It was not suited for normal learning at all.

    "Thundersnake gene has a very high difficulty."

    The staff member confirmed once again. "The data of the form cannot be traded. As such, you can only learn it yourself. Are you sure you want to choose this form?"

    "I¡¯m sure."

    Chen Feng did not hesitate.

    "Alright."

    The staff member nodded slightly.

    Despite not agreeing with it, it was not her ce to question a producer¡¯s rights.

    "Whoosh!"

    Countless light silhouettes swirled about.

    Countless data flickered in Chen Feng¡¯s screen. The huge amount of data regarding the thundersnake gene was being transferred without stop into his wristband. This was the form data of this era. Containing information from the pictures of materials to the sequence of reactions, a normal item was not able to contain thisrge amount of information at all.

    Shortly after, the data transmission ended.

    4-star Thundersnake Gene form, acquired!

    "Done."

    Chen Feng couldn¡¯t help getting emotional.

    This was a 4-star form, ah. Although he was somewhat regretful to have not obtained a 5-star form, but if all his forms were at this level, he only needed five forms to reach 20-star rating. A mere rookiepetition signup qualification wouldn¡¯t be considered as anything.

    Naturally, this was something he could only think about.

    Based on his understanding, 4-star or 5-star forms were all extremely valuable. Even if it was an F-ss form, it was still not something an ordinary people could obtain.

    "Oh, right. Is there a form being rewarded for those who be intermediate-level producers?" Chen Feng suddenly asked.

    "No."

    The staff member stated softly, "Some precious materials will be rewarded to those who be an intermediate-level producer."

    "Oh."

    Chen Feng felt regretful.

    Indeed.

    Had he been thinking too much?

    E-ss forms were even more valuable. And if it was a high-star-rating form, the price would be extremely expensive. Even the Gene Production Association would not release it to normal producers.

    However, even if he only got a free form this one time, it was enough.

    Chen Feng was getting emotional.

    4-star special-type gene reagent, what kind of might did it possess?

    He was somewhat impatient to know.

    As Chen Feng went out the door and was preparing to leave, a middle-aged person in the Gene Production Association¡¯s uniform walked over and extended his hand while smiling. "Excuse me, may I ask if this is gene producer Chen Feng?"

    "Mhm."

    Chen Feng answered.

    "I have been waiting for you for a long time."

    The middle-aged personughed. "Hello. I am Zhang Wei, the staff responsible for the Gene Production Association¡¯s patent application. This time, Ie uninvited due to the lumberbear gene¡¯s third mutation."

    Chen Feng became solemn suddenly¡ªhad his identity been exposed?

    "Please don¡¯t worry. Presently, I am the only one who knows about it."

    Zhang Wei smiled. "As for how I found your identity? It is very simple. A normal person depends on their eyes to differentiate different identities, while for us, the gene producers, we depend on spiritual energy! In the eyes of a gene producer, everyone¡¯s spiritual energy differs to some extent. Hence, we can easily distinguish a person¡¯s identity."

    "In order to reduce the penalty, Professor Tao delivered the third-mutation lumberbear genes he purchased to the Gene Production Association. The three bottles of lumberbear gene you produced earlier had an extremely simr spiritual energy on itpared to the spiritual energy on the third-mutation lumberbear genes. Hence..." Zhang Wei exined.

    So that was why.

    Chen Feng was enlightened.

    "The reason I came uninvited this time was also due to the matter pertaining to Professor Tao."

    Zhang Wei smiled as he said, "The repercussions of this incident were very huge. Hence, we wish to record the lumberbear gene¡¯s third mutation as soon as possible. As a reward, we will give you a bonus of 100,000 yuan. Of course, the ownership rights are still in your hands. We will only record it down."

    Bonus?

    Chen Feng eximed in admiration. If the only thing they did was to record it down, then all this money could be considered as given for free. The Gene Production Association was indeed rich and imposing! However, as soon as the form was certified, his identity...

    Chen Feng was hesitating.

    "If you are worried about your identity, you don¡¯t need to be."

    Zhang Wei seemed to know what he was thinking about. "Honestly, the more popr a producer gets, the harder it gets to hide his identity. To be a true producer, there is totally no need for one to conceal their identity! At times, the advantages brought about by fame are much greater than the trouble it brings."

    "You are saying..."

    Chen Feng suddenly understood.

    For him to be reborn, why did he need to be so petty and low?

    Was him concealing his identity useful?

    It was useless!

    He was so low profile, yet didn¡¯t those people from Professor Tao still find him? Didn¡¯t Wang Yue stille looking for him? In this special age, there were some abilities that couldn¡¯t be guarded against. It was pointless to constantly hide and cover up.

    Want to be safe?

    Sometimes the biggest guarantee would actually be fame!

    Didn¡¯t the body¡¯s original owner get killed easily? However, if he was someone with a certain level of fame, with a certain level of status, who would dare to act recklessly?

    They would at least take his identity into consideration before taking any actions!

    Covering up?

    Hiding?

    Completely useless!

    Letting the opponents not have the guts to act on him was the true way!

    Chen Feng made up his mind.

    "Then, should we start discussing the name of the form?" Zhang Wei smiled.

    "Alright."

    Chen Feng agreed.

    Finally, the lumberbear gene¡¯s third mutation was named by Chen Feng as: lumberbear gene ¨C battle. This was representative of it being a specialbat-type gene among thebor-type genes. Of course, that fraudulent probability rate of its appearance and whether others could produce it or not was not something Chen Feng cared about.

    At this time, within his personal information, Chen Feng¡¯s data was updated¡ªChen Feng, beginner gene producer, possessing ¡®lumberbear gene ¨C battle.¡¯ That piece of additional information that only he had let him distinguish himself amongst all the normal beginner producers. In the future, if he wanted to report his research results, it would be much easier.

    "Fame?"

    Chen Feng contemted.

    This was a double-edged sword. How he used it depended on himself. As long as he operated it appropriately, the benefits obviously outweighed the risks.

    Zhang Wei suddenly smiled as he said, "Did you choose the 4-star form for the rookiepetition?"

    "Is it so obvious?"

    Chen Feng was dumbfounded.

    "Of course not."

    Zhang Wei shook his head. "If it was a normal person, I would not think like this at all. However, you are a genius that created a new gene the moment you entered the profession. I trust in your potential."

    "It might be luck?"

    Chen Feng smiled faintly.

    "Luck is also a part of one¡¯s ability."

    Zhang Wei stated righteously, "Nowadays, even a person¡¯s background can be considered as part of one¡¯s ability. Why not luck?"

    Chen Feng was dumbfounded. Wasn¡¯t that correct?

    "If you are reallycking forms..."

    Zhang Wei pondered for a short while. "You can try looking at the Gene Production Association¡¯s missions. Those missions withparatively higher requirements will all be sent here."

    "Oh?"

    Chen Feng eyes shed.

    As he bid Zhang Wei goodbye, Chen Feng started flipping the Gene Production Associations¡¯s request panel at the lounge.

    Whoosh!

    Lists of requests were refreshed.

    Arge majority of them were requests for custom-made genes; the materials were prepared requesting for a gene producer to produce some genes, how much money per production, etc. There were also requests for guaranteed sess, etc. All sorts of requests could be seen. Chen Feng directly filtered the rewards to 5-star forms. The currently avable requests dropped to only one.

    "This is..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shed.

 Chapter 23: Restriction

    Chapter 23: Restriction

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    This was a restriction-type request.

    Requesting a high-level beginner producer to apany them to explore some historical ruins and help them remove any restrictions they met on the exploration. Uponpletion, a 5-star form would be rewarded.

    "Restriction..."

    Chen Feng understood after checking it out online.

    The so-called restriction, based on his understanding, was something like a blood-essence-formed lock.

    In some historical ruins, after the death of mutated beasts, their blood would blend into the ground. With the passage of time, it would evolve and be a special spiritual seal, forming a peculiar restriction. Any ce covered by the restriction couldn¡¯t be entered. Those who tried to enter by force would receive bacsh from the power of the blood essence. It was extremely dreadful.

    Only a gene producer, in digitized mode, could lift the restriction!

    "So it was like this."

    Chen Feng contemted.

    As he looked at the time, he noticed that the interview would be held today. Chen Feng prepared to go.

    He was aware that there was still too muchcking in his ability. It was very probable that he would not be able to handle a restriction of this level. However, as long as a slither of hope existed, he would not give up.

    This was a 5-star form!

    If he could obtain it...

    Chen Feng clenched his fist.

    Chen Feng reached the 23rd lounge of the 7th floor as per the address given. Within, the interview had begun. A lot of beginner producers were standing below while on the stage stood a few youngsters with imposing manners. From the auras that were faintly radiating from their bodies, these people were actually E-ss gic warriors!

    "E-ss..."

    Chen Feng frowned.

    It seemed like their requirements would not be low.

    "Quiet!"

    The leader of the youngsters on stage gestured with his hand.

    The lounge quieted down immediately.

    "I am Xu Fei."

    Feeling satisfied, the youngster nodded. "I hereby thank everyone for their punctuality. This time, we will be entering a historical ruin. We need a gene producer to provide assistance, so we entrusted the Gene Production Association to hold this interview session. Due to the limitations of our terms, we can only choose a beginner producer."

    Here, he paused slightly. "The strongest one."

    Whoosh!

    The atmosphere in the lounge became nervous as all the gene producers looked at each other with hostility.

    This was a 5-star form!

    This was different from how the Gene Production Association transferred the data of their form. The data of a normal form would always be sealed within a chip. Before it was opened, it could be sold! Even if they didn¡¯t want to learn it, they could also sell it for a huge amount of money! The money was enough for a lot of people to increase their production level by a few stars.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes as he watched on silently.

    "Today, your interview is very simple."

    Xu Fei took out an ancient-looking disk. A lot of blood-colored cracks could be seen on it. Scarlet-colored red light could be seen flickering like an eye out of the blood essence in the middle of the disk.

    "This is a restriction te. Contained within is a drop of an ancient blood essence. This is a restriction that exceeds your current level; hence, there¡¯s no need for you all toplete it. Everyone will be given two minutes time. Within the time limit, the one that can gather the highest amount of valid genes will be the final winner."

    Xu Fei said lightly, "So, who wants to start first?"

    "Me."

    A person walked out and stated proudly, "I, Huo Shi, am someone who has been on explorations before. In regards to lifting restrictions, I am definitely much more practiced than others."

    As he finished, he walked to the restriction te, closed his eyes as a glimmer of light flickered, and entered the digitized mode.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Chen Feng could see with his naked eyes how patterns started to surface on the disk, covering the hundreds of imprints on the disk. One after another, lines on the disk started to glow.

    10 lines, 20 lines, 30 lines...

    Finally, it stopped at 90 lines. Huo Shi exited the digitized mode while the glow on the disk quietly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

    "90 lines. Not bad."

    Xu Fei sighed while that person retired proudly.

    Subsequently, others started going up on stage. 30 lines, 50 lines, 20 lines, 80 lines... There were all sort of results. However, none were able to surpass Huo Shi.

    "A bunch of weaklings."

    Huo Shi was immensely pleased with himself.

    "90 lines is the strongest?"

    Xu Fei frowned as he exchanged nces with his friends. Based on the reward they had promised, how could it only attract producers of this level? Things would be somewhat difficult if someone at this level were to follow them to the ruins.

    "It¡¯s due to the time limitation."

    "If we can spend two more days, we can definitely find a better one."

    The only female in the group, Zhou Ling, reminded.

    "That¡¯s true."

    Xu Fei nodded. "It shall be him, then."

    "Your name is Huo Shi, right?"

    Xu Fei looked at him. "Since you are the strongest..."

    However, right at this moment, Chen Feng walked over. "Excuse me, could I try?"

    The lounge suddenly became silent.

    "You are?"

    Xu Fei looked at him.

    "Beginner producer, Chen Feng."

    Chen Feng introduced himself.

    "Let me look at your certification details."

    Xu Fei nodded. These were the basics of an interview. Chen Feng needed to show Xu Fei part of the data contained within his digitized panel.

    "All right."

    Chen Feng sent his certification details over.

    Xu Fei swept though it and was immediately stunned. "1 star?"

    The whole lounge was silent, and immediately, the whole room roared withughter.

    One star?

    Was this child here to amuse them?

    Although only "beginner producer" was written within the mission and there were no requirements on star rating, wasn¡¯t it somewhat excessive for a rookie to actually think of epting this mission?

    Someone rated 1 star, how strong could he be?

    ¡®You arepeting against me with just this?¡¯

    Huo Shi, who was still worried earlier, rolled his eyes. Producers nowadays were really...

    "Sorry."

    Xu Fei smiled forcefully. "This level, I¡¯m afraid..."

    "Continue reading."

    Chen Feng smiled.

    "Oh?"

    As Xu Fei saw how collected Chen Feng was, he continued reading. When he reached the part where ¡¯possessing lumberbear gene ¨C battle¡¯ was shown, his expression became serious. Able to possess his own form at the beginner producer level? This level...

    Only now did Xu Fei looked at Chen Feng seriously.

    He knew that there were some extremely stubborn gene producers. As long as they didn¡¯t master one form, they would not change to another form. And the one before him seemed to be this type of gene producer?

    Even if he only had 1 star!

    The earlier incident involving Chen Feng and Professor Tao was something that he had heard about as well. It was unexpected for the main character of that incident to actually be standing in front of him. Chen Feng...

    Xu Fei pondered for a short while. "Alright. You can try."

    "Thanks."

    Chen Feng nodded slightly.

    This time, fame disyed its usefulness.

    The people around them had strange looks on their faces. What was actually written in this youngster¡¯s qualifications to be able to obtain respect from an E-ss gic warrior?

    "This fellow..."

    Huo Shi had a bewildered look in his eyes. Had he came across some exceptional genius?

    Shua!

    Chen Feng silently walked forward. With both hands floating above the disk, he entered the digitized mode.

    "Bang!"

    A radiant light exploded before his eyes.

    Countless genes emerged around him, moving like swirling lights.

    In the background that was dark and void-like, the ancient disk became immenselyrge. The patterns on the disk became exceptionally distinct. Chen Feng could easily sense that every single pattern, every single imprint, required a specific gene for it to be activated. Only when all the genes were activated could this restriction be lifted.

    This... was a restriction?

    Chen Feng contemted.

    One second...

    Two seconds...

    Ten seconds...

    Chen Feng attentively researched this so-called restriction.

    At this moment, as the producers around him saw that there was no activity from Chen Feng after a long time, they startedughing.

    "Indeed, a 1-star is still a 1-star after all."

    "The beginner producers nowadays are getting conceited."

    Everyone sneered.

    It was not scary for someone to not have ability. However,ing here topete against others when you did not have the ability, you were in the wrong.

    "I really did think too much."

    Huo Shi did not hide his contempt at all. He had thought that this guy had some trump card. After wasting so much time, this was actually a rookie.

    "Even this type of trash wants topete against me?"

    Huo Shiughed.

    Xu Fei looked on in silence.

    Twenty seconds.

    Thirty seconds.

    One minute.

    There were no reactions from the markings on the disk.

    This meant that within one whole minute, Chen Feng did not activate a single one! Not even one gene was found! This level...

    "Pure rookie?"

    Xu Fei sighed with regret. It seemed like he had made a mistake.

    It seemed like this person called Chen Feng was only able to produce a new mutated lumberbear gene by fluke.

    He gave up.

    The remaining team members were also waiting to mock him.

    However, nobody expected that, right at that moment, the patterns on the disk would start glowing with an unprecedented speed.

    Ten lines!

    Twenty lines!

    Thirty lines!

    ...

    Within eight seconds, the amount of glowing patterns reached 80 lines.

    "How is this possible?" Huo Shi stated rmingly.

    80 lines activated in eight seconds? How was it possible for a beginner producer to aplish this?! What kind of luck and speed were required to be so fast?

    "Luck. Must be luck!"

    Huo Shiforted himself.

    However, the next moment, his heart grew cold.

    On the disk, the radiant glow continued.

    90 lines!

    100 lines!

    Chen Feng had undoubtedly surpassed him.

    "How is this possible?"

    Huo Shi was stupefied. "He only knew one gene form... He was a pure rookie with only a 1-star gene-production level, how could he be so powerful!"

    Not only him, everyone else was also shocked as the red light continued to shine.

    200 lines!

    300 lines!

    On the ancient disk, all the patterns were being lightened up in an unimaginable speed. Finally, as the time reached 1 minute and 55 seconds, the whole disk waspletely activated.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Red light radiated; a bright radiance blossomed from the disk.

    "Ka cha!"

    The sealed disk was suddenly opened.

    Opened!

    It was actually opened!

    Everyone was shocked. The restrictions on this disk were actually opened by Chen Feng!

    "Shit!"

    Huo Shi was stupefied. His mouth was opened so wide a chicken egg could be shoved into it. F*ck, what freak was this. Only 1-star rating yet possessing such terrifying ability?

    Did he still want others to live?

    "Good, good, good!"

    "I am indeed right!"

    Xu Fei was in ecstasy. Even he did not expect that, among the beginner producers, there would exist one capable of lifting this restriction! As for that 1-star rating of Chen Feng¡¯s...

    Who cared?

    They did not need Chen Feng to battle anyway.

    Chapter 24: Thundersnake Gene

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At this moment, Chen Feng returned from the digitized mode.

    ¡®So that was a restriction.¡¯

    That drop of blood essence contained several tens of thousands of genes, or even more, while some sort of power was contained within the patterns around it. After sealing the blood essence within and having some of the genes within set as the activation switch, you only needed to find the corresponding genes to lift the restriction.

    To be clearer, this was an upgraded version of the gene search process!

    Naturally, despite it being only an upgraded version of gene search, it was still something Chen Feng couldn¡¯tplete.

    The required quantity of 300 genes was several tens of times higher than the lumberbear gene. For the current Chen Feng, it was somewhat beyond his level. Hence, he did not get started even after a long time.

    However, a 5-star form was something that was extremely hard to obtain, so Chen Feng had to be sessful!

    Therefore, he ultimately chose to activate the Luck Aura.

    These fellows wished to scorn him?

    Chen Feng smiled silently as he looked at the luck value that had only decreased by one point.

    At the same time, he also vaguely understood the greatness of fame. Without his ¡¯lumberbear gene ¨C battle¡¯ aplishment, it was very probable that Xu Fei would not have given him this chance!

    Regardless of how powerful you are, so what?

    You can¡¯t even get past this door called ¡¯interview¡¯!

    "Worthy of Mr. Chen indeed."

    Xu Fei gasped in admiration and subsequently invited all the other stupefied producers over.

    Those people would probably remain in shock even after leaving. The rookies nowadays were already so impressive? 1 star! Only mastered a rubbish form! Yet still capable of lifting this kind of restriction? They felt like they had wasted their whole lives.

    Huo Shi, on the other hand, was bewildered. The mission that was originally supposed to be his was lost just like that?

    Why?!

    "I..."

    Huo Shi wanted to return and challenge that Chen Feng, yet he found that he couldn¡¯t even enter the room anymore!

    "Sorry. The interview is over."

    The security of the lounge stopped him.

    What joke was this!

    Challenge?

    Evenymen like them were able to see the gap between Chen Feng and Huo Shi!

    "Very good."

    Huo Shi clenched his teeth. "Chen Feng, right? I will find out who you are! The day wille where I challenge you and take back the honor belonging to me!"

    Huo Shi turned around and left.

    At the same time, in the lounge.

    "Mr. Chen."

    Xu Fei smiled. "Now we can talk properly."

    "Alright."

    Chen Feng nodded.

    He knew that a mission with a 5-star form as the reward would not be an easy one.

    "The ce that we are going to explore this time is the Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain."

    Xu Fei stated in a low voice.

    After finishing, he even took a glimpse at Chen Feng as Chen Feng nodded his head calmly.

    "I am now a peak E-ss warrior. I am preparing the D-ss gene fusion reagent. However, some of the materials can¡¯t be bought even with money. Hence, I can only gather them myself. Some of the materials I require can be found at Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain. We only need to go there, get the blood essence, and return."

    Xu Fei glimpsed at Chen Feng once again after he finished talking.

    Chen Feng nodded his head calmly.

    "This is the rough course of action."

    After finishing, Xu Fei started to feel deep veneration for Chen Feng.

    Worthy of being a genius youngster that was capable of producing the lumberbear gene¡¯s third mutation! Even after hearing the name Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain, there was no change in his expression. This courage was something a normal person did not possess.

    Chen Feng opened his mouth. "Then, I only have one question."

    "Please say it." Xu Fei nodded.

    Chen Feng asked, "What is Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain?"

    Xu Fei: "..."

    Everyone else: "..."

    So this fellow actually did not know what Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain was?

    Xu Fei smiled forcefully before he exined in detail about the location of this mission to Chen Feng.

    Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain. The name might sound mysterious; however, it was, in fact, a ruin near Gold City. The reason for it being called Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain was due to the legends saying that a mutated sea dragon beast had died there. Hence, this painted the ce in a few moreyers of mysteriousness.

    Due to its particr geographic location, some valuable materials would asionally grow there. Coupled with the high amount of mutated beasts existing there, it became a paradise for explorers.

    "There¡¯s really a dragon there?"

    Chen Feng was amazed.

    "Cough cough."

    Xu Fei stated in a low voice, "It was actually all mutatedrge lizards. After mutation, they possessed powerful strength, so they be legends. However, presently, any mutated beasts that could be called a dragon would be extremely dreadful, even if they were not real dragons."

    Chen Feng contemted.

    "Actually, you don¡¯t have to be too worried."

    Xu Fei was confident. "We are all E-ss gic warriors. As long as we do not challenge the D-ss mutated beasts at the fifthyer, there¡¯s no danger at all."

    Chen Feng thought about it and asked. "When are we going?"

    "In 3 days," Xu Fei stated.

    "All right." Chen Feng agreed. "However, the request needs to go through Gene Production Association."

    "Naturally."

    Xu Fei nodded.

    Shortly after, a request went through the Gene Production Association and was released on Chen Feng¡¯s screen. Chen Feng epted the request and this mission was officially established.

    ----

    Time of mission: Three dayster

    Site of mission: Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain

    Mission introduction: Removing all restrictions met during the course of the mission, etc

    Mission reward: 5-star form

    ----

    After the mission was sessfully established, everyone left to make their preparations. After all, they were going to a ce with a certain degree of danger. Hence, they needed to prepare some methods to defend themselves.

    Chen Feng needed to do this as well.

    As a producer, he was, theoretically, the safest person. However, what if a conflict arose in the team? Although the probability of this happening was low, Chen Feng would still take it into consideration.

    cing his own safety in the hands of others?

    He couldn¡¯t do it.

    In normal circumstances, those that wanted to be a gene producer would have all their gic abilities be things that could assist them during gene production. For example, Wang Yue¡¯s ability!

    For example¡ª

    All sorts of abilities that could increase spiritual energy, increase production sess rate, etc.

    Hence, normal gene producers would have extremely weak fighting strength. Their strength could be totally ignored by a gic warrior of the same rank. This was precisely Chen Feng¡¯s superiority.

    "In their eyes, my fighting strength can almost be neglected."

    "However, my gic ability is actually Wind de. It possesses a certain level of fighting strength, and coupled with Luck Aura, it can crush all F-ss warriors. However, this is still not enough!"

    "Wanting to defend myself, I need something stronger!"

    Chen Feng analyzed.

    Of course, the most important thing for him to do these three days was to save up his luck value!

    Returning home, the first thing Chen Feng did was to learn the thundersnake gene form!

    There were a lot of ways to increase one¡¯s strength. The thundersnake gene reagent was undoubtedly one way to increase one¡¯s strength. The consumable item produced by this kind of high-difficulty form definitely had a strong power.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng turned his screen on.

    Countless amounts of information appeared, and Chen Feng started his studies seriously. Only after spending one-and-a-half days did he digest this huge volume of information.

    4-star form, the difficulty was indeed high.

    At the first step during gene search, one needed to find 200 genes. This was already near the level of the restriction in that ancient disk earlier. As for the second step...

    Mhm, fusing all 200 genes with each other.

    Chen Feng was sure that if he were to produce it himself, it would definitely fail.

    Half a day spent!

    Only at night did Chen Feng manage to collect all the materials required for the thundersnake gene. 100,000 yuan per set of materials, he spent a total 300,000 of his funds on this.

    "Let¡¯s start."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    This time, he did not dare to act recklessly. He had his Luck Aura activated all the way.

    First step.

    Gene search, one point of luck value used.

    Although the steps were somewhatplicated and the spiritual energy spent was somewhat high,pared to the restriction removal earlier, it was somewhat easier. Hence, Chen Feng was able to easilyplete it.

    Second step.

    Gene reaction, one point of luck value used.

    To let all 200 genes react, the highest difficulty was that a lot of those genes needed to react sessfully once before reacting once again. In this process, the earlier reacted genes needed to be controlled properly before letting other genes react and, finally, reacting all the genes.

    In this step, the exhaustion rate for spiritual energy was extremely high. It far exceeded Chen Feng¡¯s imagination, causing him to almost fail and have his earlier efforts wasted.

    Third step.

    Gene fusion, one point of luck value used.

    This step was instead the easiest among all three steps. Producing the thundersnake gene¡¯s incubator liquid using all the valuable materials he had collected, before cing thepleted gene into the liquid for it to start growing and duplicating. At this point, everything was a foregone conclusion.

    Shua!

    A light-green radiance shed, production sess!

    In ordance to the instructions in the form, Chen Feng carefully moved the gene into the reagent before sealing it up. At this, the thundersnake gene reagent waspleted.

    Chen Feng activated the scanner.

    ----

    Gene name: Thundersnake Gene reagent

    Gene type: Special

    Function: Using spiritual energy to cause it to explode and bring about a huge amount of destruction

    Spiritual energy usage: 10 points

    Gene introduction: Produced from thundersnake¡¯s blood essence, requires a lot of different materials to bring out the mysterious power within the thundersnake gene, turning it into a type of special gene reagent.

    ----

    No mutation?

    Chen Feng was somewhat surprised. Seemed like not all genes could be mutated.

    He checked online. At least, among the all the discussions on thundersnake gene reagents, mutated thundersnake gene reagents were never mentioned. The reason three points of luck value were used was not due to mutation or high attributes. Instead, it was purely due to the high production difficulty.

    As for its power...

    Chen Feng did not dare to try it out.

    What joke was this!

    The materials alone were worth 100,000. If he were to explode himself to death, it would be a joke.

    After watching the demonstration of a thundersnake gene reagent¡¯s usage online, he kept his thundersnake gene reagent carefully. ording to the Gene Production Association¡¯s assessment, a thundersnake gene reagent possessed at least the power of one full strength attack from an E-ss warrior. It was extremely powerful and dangerous!

    This... was his firstyer of preparations.

 Chapter 25: The So-Called Metaphysics

    Chapter 25: The So-Called Metaphysics

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Late at night.

    Chen Feng finished all three sets of materials before he went to rest.

    With this, he could be considered to have a basic way of protecting himself. In fact, using these kinds of consumable items was how arge majority of gene producers protected themselves.

    However, this was far from enough.

    Early the next day, Chen Feng registered for a course he never touched before¡ªgic ability training.

    The price was 10,000 yuan.

    Gic ability was an ability one obtained after fusing a gene with their body. To improve one¡¯s gic ability, one needed to constantly train it.

    This aspect was something Chen Feng had never touched upon before.

    There were a lot of teachers avable for gic ability training. Chen Feng chose a teacher that was free and immediately began the one-on-one training course.

    "What is your ability?" the teacher asked.

    "Wind de," Chen Feng announced.

    Teacher: "..."

    "Quite a rare ability."

    The teacher paused. "However, there is still some information avable for this ability. Please wait."

    After a long time.

    The teacher returned and exined to Chen Feng, "There are three aspects of the Wind de one can improve through hard work."

    "First aspect, Wind de¡¯s power!"

    "After gene fusion, the ability is already in your body. However, you need to constantly use it for it to be stronger, for you to truly unleash its true power! As long as you constantly use it, the Wind de¡¯s power will be stronger, all the way until it reaches its upper limit."

    Chen Feng nodded slightly.

    This was the same as the lumberbear gene. Initially, it increased strength by 10 points. At the maximum, it would increase strength by 100 points.

    "Second aspect, Wind de¡¯s activation speed!"

    "This is a skill you need to practice by yourself. By understanding and getting familiarized with Wind de, you will be able to greatly reduce its activation time. For example, you need 0.3 seconds to condense a Wind de initially. However, after being familiar with it, you might be able to release a Wind de within 0.1 seconds."

    "Third aspect, Wind de¡¯s control."

    "This is the most important aspect. Through spiritual energy¡¯s control and practice, you might be able to increase the Wind de¡¯s movement speed, or you can even cause the Wind de to curve while moving through the air!"

    "For example¡ª"

    The teacher opened a virtual video for Chen Feng.

    Within the video, an expert appeared. He lightly waved and a Wind de was immediately unleashed from his hand. There was only one Wind de, however, in the air, this very Wind de was actually moving in a curved line... This was impressive enough. However, after making a turn in the air, this Wind de actually returned.

    Returning de!

    Chen Feng was shocked.

    So many variations coulde out of a simple Wind de?

    Too powerful!

    Chen Feng subconsciously looked at this senior¡¯s appearance so he could admire him, and then...

    He saw a tile of mosaic.

    Chen Feng¡¯s face darkened. This was not porn, so why the heck did they need to censor it!

    "Oh."

    Even the teacher felt somewhat awkward. "This was what this senior requested when this video was recorded back then. Due to him trying to save cost, he actually learnt a cheap ability like Wind de. Hence, he felt like he had lost his face... After all, among simr types of gic abilities, Wind de¡¯s quality-to-price ratio and power are at the lower end."

    "Mhm."

    Chen Feng nodded slightly. He was aware of this point.

    "How about the probability?"

    Chen Feng had suddenly thought of something.

    The strongest point of this Wind de was having the probability to trigger the continuous appearance of Wind des. The teacher actually had not mentioned this at all.

    "Probability..."

    The teacher pondered for a short while. "If you want to improve in this aspect, it can only be done through metaphysics."

    Chen Feng was astonished. Metaphysics?

    "Mhm."

    The teacher nodded. "Washing your hands diligently, washing your face diligently, when necessary you can pray in your heart."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Metaphysics indeed.

    In the remaining time, the teacher exined in detail to Chen Feng on ways to train, to advance his gic ability faster, to control using his spiritual energy, etc.

    Chen Feng benefited greatly.

    After the course ended, Chen Feng rented a training room and started training. Controlling the Wind de was not considered hard. It mainly depended on one¡¯s skill in spiritual energy usage. After training for half day, Chen Feng¡¯s Wind de was already able to arc slightly. The speed of Wind de had also slightly increased.

    "No wonder everyone says that a gene producer¡¯s fighting strength is weak."

    Chen Feng shook his head.

    This was not only due to gene choice. It was also due how one harnessed a gic ability! Even for the same gene, the difference between an initial gene and a peak gene was as different as sky and earth! All gene producers were wishing they had 25 hours per day to use. Who would have extra time to practicebat skills?

    Xiu!

    A Wind de shot out, moving in a slight arc through the air.

    Pity.

    The difficulty level of returning de was too high!

    Chen Feng¡¯s current spiritual energy control skill was far from enough.

    "Take my time."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    For his Wind de to curve through the air, it was already a huge advancement.

    Then...

    Next, he would need to practice on Wind de¡¯s power?

    This was unrted to one¡¯s skills. One only needed to increase the power through continuous practice. Only through arge amount of usage would he be able to unleash the gene his body had fused with.

    "Xiu!"

    Chen Feng shot out a Wind de, but he did not feel any changes.

    "Is it because I¡¯m in the virtualmunity?"

    Chen Feng pondered before he shook his head.

    The training district of the virtualmunity would be connected to his spiritual energy before proceeding with adjustment and bncing. In short, it would not be too different than practicing in reality.

    "Then it must be due to the number of uses being too low."

    Chen Feng suddenly thought of something.

    He had been practicing spiritual control the whole day. However, the number Wind des that he had actually released was not more than 10. This was something that was out of his control. He did not have enough spiritual energy to release more Wind des.

    "The more Wind des one releases, the more probable it is for the gic ability to be roused?"

    Chen Feng contemted.

    ¡®If it is like this...¡¯

    Chen Feng suddenly activated his Luck Aura and started releasing Wind des.

    "Tutututu!"

    A string of Wind des were unleashed from his hands.

    It was lucky that Wind de¡¯s activation was through the guided-method[1]; hence, spiritual energy would only be used once. The rest of the Wind des would absorb the energy from the surroundings to form. Otherwise, Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual energy was totally not enough. Subconsciously, Chen Feng started controlling these Wind des, making them arc in the air so that none of the released Wind des were wasted.

    10 Wind des in one second!

    In the training room, 10 Wind des were flying about in a disorderly fashion under Chen Feng¡¯s control, akin to a group of demons dancing disorderly.

    "This won¡¯t do."

    Chen Feng shook his head.

    He originally thought that unleashing 10 Wind des at once would be equivalent to practicing 10 times. Apparently, he had thought too much. If he only used his spiritual energy once, the gene within his blood would only be roused one time as well. However, the advantage of training this way was that the speed of his spiritual energy control training would increase a lot.

    Chen Feng spent the whole day practicing Wind de.

    Within the whole training room, Chen Feng¡¯s Wind des could be seen flying everywhere. Controlling 10 Wind des each time caused Chen Feng¡¯s speed of improvement to be 10 times faster than others!

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    Wind des rotated around without stop.

    By the time it reachedte night, Chen Feng was already able to control his Wind des to move in the shape of a perfect circle! At the very least, it was no longer the same as the previous times, where the Wind de would fly away without him noticing.

    Chen Feng¡¯s fighting strength had increased greatly!

    Was this enough?

    Of course not!

    Finally, Chen Feng used a huge amount of money and bought 10 small bottles of ¡®spirit increasing reagent ¨C arouse one¡¯s potential: for 10 seconds, increase spiritual energy by 20 points.¡¯ This item was actually not quite useful. However, coupled with Chen Feng¡¯s Wind de and Luck Aura, it could totally unleash arge power.

    Only now was Chen Feng done with his preparations.

    This was his first exploration. Even if he was going with the identity of a producer, he still needed to be thoroughly prepared.

    Footnotes:

    1. Spiritual energy will be consumed once to ¡®guide¡¯ the activation of Wind de. Once the probability is triggered, the Wind de will absorb the energy from its surroundings to form the additional Wind des.

    Chapter 26: Secret Art Fusion!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The next day, Chen Feng reached the Gene Production Association early in the morning.

    The three-day period was up and everyone had made their preparations. Xu Fei¡¯s whole body was shimmering with a faint light, not unlike those rich people who had upgraded all their equipment to +13 in online games.

    Xu Fei noticed Chen Feng looking at him and stated with his back straightened, "It was made from a mutated ck python beast¡¯s skin."

    "Nouveau riche!"

    Without restraint, Zhou Ling derided, "Other rich people are all low profile in theirvishness and possess inner beauty. Who would wrap themselves up like a zongzi[1] like you."

    "Safetyes first."

    Xu Fei was immeasurably proud of himself.

    "Scram."

    Zhou Ling stared at him. "Let me tell you. The mutated beasts there are all very sensitive. If you do not conceal your aura, you will probably get surrounded."

    "Alright."

    Xu Fei concealed the glow he was radiating in an unsatisfied manner.

    Chen Feng couldn¡¯t help but tough at this.

    Next, everyone introduced themselves.

    There were four people in the party, with Xu Fei being the captain, Zhou Ling being the deputy captain, a skinny youngster dressed in ck and standing behind them that only mentioned that his nickname was Monkey, and a tall and sturdy guy called Tie Shi who, from his appearance, should have a gic ability rted to body enhancement.

    "How do we go?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Follow me."

    In a mysterious manner, Xu Fei brought everyone to the 36th floor of the Gene Production Association. It was the parking lot, and a delicate looking flying vehicle was parked in front of them.

    "Stormtech¡¯stest flying vehicle, Specter 7."

    Xu Fei proudly introduced it. "The strongest chip of theirpany is installed within. Able to race, able to go invisible, possessing a certain amount of reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance capabilities, built with sturdy materials, and able to resist attacks! When we leave, it will be able to conceal itself automatically. It is the best choice when going on an exploration."

    Chen Feng eximed in admiration, this was totally a fully armed tank!

    "Stop bragging."

    Beside him, Zhou Ling said faintly, "It is said that this flying vehicle has a bad anti-interference capability, causing it to be easy to intercept. There were already a few idents before. Hence, even its name, Specter, was changed to Hearse instead."

    "..."

    Everyone was silent.

    Chen Feng suddenly felt a chill.

    "That was number six, six! This is number seven, thetest product. How many times do I need to repeat that?"

    Xu Fei rolled his eyes before waving his hands. "Fine, fine. Everything said by this big mistress here is correct. I will stop bragging. Would that do? Go, go. Everyone, let¡¯s get in the car and depart."

    Narrowing her eyes, Zhou Lingughed. She merely couldn¡¯t stand seeing this Xu Fei fellow unting his wealth.

    They all got in the car.

    The translucent roof closed and the vehicle bolted out like a rocket.

    "Whoosh!"

    The Specter 7 pierced the air as it moved.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were shining. This was actually a true flying vehicle. Despite the fact that there was a fixed virtual route when flying within the city, it still gave off an amazingly stunning impression.

    The speed of the flying vehicle was extremely fast.

    Their journey of 100km was finished in a short amount of time.

    Getting close to their destination, the speed of Xu Fei¡¯s vehicle slowed instinctively.

    "Be careful."

    "This is not a peaceful ce."

    Xu Fei reminded them. "Although this is only the outeryer of Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain, the amount of mutated beasts around here is not low. Naturally, the scariest things at this outeryer are not those mutated beasts. Instead, they are human! Those gic warriors hanging around nearby are the scariest thing here."

    "Understood."

    Everyone nodded their head slightly.

    The Specter 7 flew quietly, reducing its speed greatly without raising any billows. With the operation of its chip, not a trace of the sound of the wind could be heard.

    From this, it could be seen how urate the name Specter was.

    "We can go down in front."

    Xu Fei told everyone, "At that time, Monkey can start scouting, while Tie Shi is in charge of protecting Chen Feng."

    "Understood."

    Everyone slightly nodded. Even Zhou Ling, who always liked to go against Xu Fei, did not joke around.

    "Whoosh!"

    The flying vehicle moved quietly.

    Just as Xu Fei prepared to stop, the control panel within the flying vehicle started to tremble frantically. Countless warning windows popped up and red lights started flickering within the vehicle.

    "Not good!"

    Xu Fei¡¯s expression turned unsightly. "Interference! Jump out of the car!"

    "Ding!"

    Xu Fei pressed a button. "Damn it, the roof won¡¯t open."

    What?

    Everyone¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    "Let me."

    Tie Shi bellowed.

    "Open!"

    Blue veins could be seen on both his arms as a gush of dreadful power bubbled up. He tore the translucent roof off with brute force, revealing the world outside before their eyes.

    "Go!"

    Zhou Ling grabbed Chen Feng as the rest of them quickly jumped out of the vehicle.

    "Whoosh!"

    The flying vehicle streaked across the air in a perfect arc before crashing against a rock far away and exploding loudly. And thus Specter 7 turned into Hearse 7.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Graceful sounds resounded around them.

    There were people!

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes as he secretly prepared his Wind de. He knew that going on explorations was dangerous. However, he had never expected to be ambushed even before they reached their destination!

    However, he was not surprised at all.

    In his previous life on earth, there were also those who put nails on the highway, causing trucks to be overturned, before robbing the goods within. Ah, he had seen way too many of these on the news. Regardless of which world it was, it would neverck these kinds of people, who wanted to reap without sowing!

    "Interesting."

    Xu Fei¡¯s gloomy and coldughter resounded. "Interesting. To be brave enough to ambush me, your father."

    Everyone looked over; there was actually a blood stain on Xu Fei¡¯s forehead. Obviously, it was the result of him knocking against something just now.

    "Are you alright?" Zhou Ling asked anxiously.

    "Small wound."

    Xu Fei looked in front of him. "Let us take a look at who these people are, exactly."

    Around them, silhouettes started appearing. A total of over 20 people had Chen Feng and the group surrounded in the middle. The leader, a middle-aged person, appeared and looked at them, somewhat surprised. "I, your father, have ambushed around 30 to 40 vehicles these few days. You are the first group that was able to escape from the vehicle."

    "And you had never thought of the reason for that?"

    Xu Fei smiled happily. "I originally wondered which expert it was. Yet for a mere half-assed E-ss warrior and a bunch of F-ss henchmen to dare to rob us..."

    That dreadful aura emerged once again from Xu Fei¡¯s body.

    Shua!

    He soared, forming a fist with his right hand as me energy condensed in his hands before ferociously smashing in the direction of the ground¡ªRaging mes Storm!

    "Bang!"

    With Xu Fei as the center, an area of 10 meters around him exploded!

    The ground ruptured and was engulfed in me!

    Constant screams could be heard before they gradually disappeared. The trees in their vicinity turned to ashes in a split second, while on the ground, 20 pitch-ck corpses were left.

    One move!

    Only one move!

    These robbers were all defeated!

    Hiss¡ª

    Chen Feng inhaled a mouthful of cold breath.

    Secret art!

    This Xu Fei had actually mastered a secret art!

    The so-called secret art was a formidable skill that was a research product of using gene fusion as a foundation to rouse the gic potential within one¡¯s body!

    Compared with Chen Feng¡¯s knowledge from his previous life, it was equivalent to esoteric knowledge ¨C something intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest.

    The gic warriors of this world could perform one fusion at every ss. Fusing one gene at F-ss, fusing one gene at E-ss, all the way until the highest level acknowledged by the Gic Union, S-ss. In total, one could perform seven gene fusions! It was equivalent to a human body containing seven types of gic abilities within!

    However¡ª

    The gic ability obtained during gene fusion was only a foundation. Apart from the gic ability, the secret arts one obtained through the pairing of genes to form suitable genes was the truly formidable power!

    For example¡ª

    Xu Fei¡¯s Raging mes Fist.

    A 2-star secret art: A secret art that required two genes to trigger its activation, hence being called a 2-star secret art.

    Requirements:

    F-ss, direbear gene, strength type.

    E-ss, firefox gene, spiritual type.

    Only those possessing these two genes within their body could perform the Raging mes Storm skill. This was abination of a strength-type gene and spiritual-type gene!

    Was it the best option for one to fuse with the strongest gene avable at every ss?

    Naturally, that was not true.

    Gene fusion was a form of art. Each gene would provide a different ability. However, this was only a single ability! Only when the genes within one¡¯s body werebined, activating secret arts from genebinations of two, three, or even more genes, would an even more terrifying power be disyed!

    However, having multiple genes within one¡¯s body and possessing a secret art were two different matters altogether!

    Even if one did not take into consideration whether the two genes within your body fulfilled the activation requirements for a secret art, even if the requirements were met, could a normal person afford to purchase a secret art?

    Obviously, one couldn¡¯t.

    It was obvious that this Xu Fei was not some ordinary person!

    Chen Feng contemted.

    "Mhm?"

    "Seems like the corpse of that leader just now wasn¡¯t here."

    Killing intent flickered in Xu Fei¡¯s eyes. "He actually escaped? Monkey, track him."

    "Understood."

    Monkey¡¯s eyes suddenly turned into blue color. A resplendent radiance blossomed from his pupils as Monkey started sweeping through their surroundings with his eyes. Chen Feng had only idently catch a glimpse of his eyes, yet that was sufficient for him to sense the dreadful power within.

    "No traces within 1 km."

    "I think he has escaped. Do you want to continue expanding the range?" Monkey calmly reported.

    "Let it be."

    Xu Fei shook his head as he regretted inwardly. "We don¡¯t have time to y with him for now. We can take care of him when we return!"

    "Alright."

    Everyone nodded.

    Xu Fei looked at his flying vehicle that had turned into scrap metal. A pained expression was stered all over his face. "Damn it, for Zhou Ling¡¯s crow beak[2] to actually be urate, turning into a hearse."

    "Don¡¯t me me."

    As Zhou Ling saw Xu Fei¡¯s emotional eyes, she raised her hands quickly. "As long as a flying vehicle is controlled by a chip, there will be some spiritual type abilities that are able to interfere with it. This is something unavoidable. It was simply unexpected that this broken flying vehicle of yours had been strengthened in all aspects except its anti-signal-interference ability, which was still pitifully weak."

    "Say less."

    Xu Fei unhappily said, "Since we are already at the outeryer, we can directly walk over. But then it would be hard on Chen Feng. He is, after all, not a warrior."

    He thought for a while. "Tie Shi, if,ter, Chen Feng¡¯s stamina can¡¯t take it anymore, carry him on your back."

    "Understood," Tie Shi answered.

    Chen Feng was speechless. Did he look so delicate?

    Encountering disaster before reaching their goal, everyone¡¯s expressions became graver. Earlier, if it wasn¡¯t for Tie Shi tearing the roof apart, they would probably have been done for despite being skilled. The people here were truly dangerous!

    Even a normal F-ss warrior might possess some inconceivable methods!

    "Be careful."

    Xu Fei said, "After this forest, we will reach our destination."

    Rustle!

    Rustle!

    Everyone moved forward carefully.

    The mutated beasts around here were only at F-ss, after all; hence, these beasts did not pose much threat to them. Once in a while, there would be some blind ones that came over to attack them, yet all of them were directly smashed to death by Xu Fei.

    As for other gic warriors...

    Under Monkey¡¯s eyes, there was no ce for them to hide. Hence, none of them dare to approach the group.

    Very powerful.

    Chen Feng was inwardly speechless.

    No wonder they dare toe explore with just such few people. Other than Zhou Ling, who had yet to make her move, the other three were excessively powerful. Was this the power of a E-ss warrior?

    To be so strong after fusing with two genes?

    A small me started to ignite within Chen Feng¡¯s heart.

    Soon, they left the forest.

    Although Xu Fei had introduced it to him, when Chen Feng truly looked at the sight in front of him, he was still rmed. This was Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain?

    Blue. An endless expanse of blue.

    As they walked out of the forest and stood on the cliff, facing them was a vast ocean! This ce they were at was actually a coast?

    How was that possible?

    Chen Feng was stupefied.

    Back then, the Shark Gulf that he had met the mutated shark at was at the coastal direction of Gold City. Yet Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain was at apletely opposite direction!

    Was it an ind ocean?

    However, they had traveled for over 100 km, yet they had not even seen a drop of water!

    There was not even ake!

    How was it possible for a sea to exist?

    Chen Feng thought he was seeing things incorrectly, so he opened his screen to search the map. Indeed, no water sources existed.

    Here... was a deste piece ofnd!

    Even on the satellite map, nothing could be seen!

    "You can stop searching."

    Xu Fei shook his head. "This was once a wastnd. One day, it suddenly turned into a sea. As for the reason, nobody knows. This sea is not connected to any water source, yet it flows continuously without stop! If one insists on looking for the source..."

    "It¡¯s there!"

    Chen Feng followed Xu Fei¡¯s gaze and looked at the only ind in the sea. On the ind was a mountain, which was also their current destination, Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain.

    The origin of this nameless sea might be there.

    "Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain..."

    Chen Feng memorized this name.

    Zhou Ling opened her mouth. "Let¡¯s go."

    As Chen Feng was curious as to how were they going to cross over, Zhou Ling smiled faintly as she took a step forward and ice started extending under her foot, instantly freezing the rough seawater!

    On the sea surface, ayer of ice was formed!

    They stepped on the ice surface and walked toward the ind. After walking a certain distance, the ice behind them would automatically melt while, in front of them, new ice would constantly form!

    An extremely powerful gic ability.

    Chen Feng was inwardly rmed. None of these four gic warriors were weak.

    They were not the only explorers here, however. As the others saw Zhou Ling¡¯s ability, they started avoiding them, moving far away. This was the deterring power of an E-ss warrior.

    Soon, Chen Feng and the group reached the ind.

    On the ind, there was only a Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain and nothing else. From the exterior, all sorts of huge weeds could be seen growing on the mountain, as if there was nothing special about this ce. However, the moment Chen Feng entered the mountain range with Xu Fei and the group, a piece of icy blue emerged before him, glittering dazzlingly.

    "This is..."

    Chen Feng was inwardly shaken.

    Within Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain was actually a cave formed from ice!

    "This mountain is inwardly hollow."

    At this time, Xu Fei opened his mouth. "The seawater floated and condensed into this ice cave here. It is not known what power is affecting this ce; however, we can be sure that this is not man-made. It is extremely bizarre. After getting what we need, we must leave immediately. We must not attract the attention of that existence in the fifthyer."

    Within the fifthyer was a D-ss mutated beast.

    "You came before?" Chen Feng asked in a low voice.

    This ce gave him an extremely bad feeling.

    Crisis!

    Crisis everywhere!

    At this moment, he felt like he had returned to the same situation as his previous life, where idents could happen at any time. Luckily, as Chen Feng looked at the remaining luck value noted on his status window, he was somewhat reassured.

    "We came here before, but we were stopped at the restriction before the thirdyer."

    Xu Fei nodded.

    "Can¡¯t break through by force?" Chen Feng asked suddenly. Restrictions were also formed by energy. As long as one used energy far surpassing what it could resist, one could still directly break through the restriction!

    "We tried."

    Xu Fei was expressionless. "We end up attracting 30 mutated beasts and almost got killed here."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    "Let¡¯s get started, then."

    Xu Fei inhaled deeply. "I must obtain that material!"

    "Understood."

    Everyone nodded quietly as the group slowly entered.

    Being protected in the middle of the group, Chen Feng was very safe. Besides that, they were only going to the fourthyer to get a material. With four E-ss warriors, as long as they were somewhat cautious, there wouldn¡¯t be any problems.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Faint blue light blossomed from Monkey¡¯s eyes.

    At times like this, he did not dare to rx either.

    At this moment, Gold City, high school.

    The students that had graduated had once again assembled at the school.

    "Is everyone ready?"

    The teacher in charge, Xie Kangzhong looked at the 30 students in front of him. "This is ourst graduation cultivation trip. As per how it was done in the past, we will select a ruin for everyone to explore. This is also thest time I will lead everyone. Our destination this time is¡ª"

    "Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain!"

    The students cheered.

    Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain!

    A ce they had heard about a lot of times.

    It was said that this was a paradise for adventurers. Especially in recent times where, due to unknown reasons, countless valuable materials started growing at that ce, attracting countless explorers to explore there! There were also a lot of mutated beasts there. After killing them, one could obtain a huge amount of mutated blood essence.

    "Teacher, whichyer are we going to this time?"

    The students were excited.

    "Whichyer?"

    Xie Kangzhong said indifferently, "Allyers!"

    What?

    The students widened their eyes.

    "Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain was merely something those off-campus rubbish cultivators imed to be an explorer¡¯s paradise. However for us, it is something not worth our time at all. Hence, this time, we are going to sweep through the whole Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain, including the fifthyer!"

    Xie Kangzhong said loftily, "And this... is teacher¡¯s graduation gift to you all!"

    "Yay!"

    Countless people cheered.

    Xie Kangzhong smiled without speaking.

    Able to be a teacher in charge in a seeded high school, how could Xie Kangzhong be a normal person?

    He was a D-ss gic warrior himself!

    A mere Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain?

    He did not put it in his eyes at all!

    He had already investigated it. The strongest in the Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain was only that single D-ss mutated beast at the fifthyer. For those countryside warriors, it might be very strong. For him, however, it was nothing. He was confident that his ability was far above thosemon warriors that had not received a regr education.

    The reason he decided to bring this group of students on this exploration was also as an investment!

    All 30 of these students had basically passed the examinations into seeded universities with bright prospects. As long as there were a few among them who stood out among their peers, his status would also rise, akin to the boat floating higher as the tide rises. Even those who did not have good results in the universities would at the least still reach D-ss, a level not weaker than him.

    One exploration?

    In exchange for the 30 favors?

    This kind of investment, regardless of how one look at it, was extremely profitable.

    "However, teacher."

    A student suddenly opened his mouth. "Since the Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain was the ce frequented by the gic warriors outside, for us to sweep through it like this, will it bring about any trouble?"

    "Trouble?"

    Xie Kangzhong smiled. "Children, what kind of trouble do you think those trash that can¡¯t even enter a university could bring us?"

    "Remember!"

    "You are the strongest among the younger generation!"

    "You all are the students with the greatest talents that have been picked after going through countless selections by the school."

    "You all are entitled to being arrogant."

    "In the future, this world will belong to all of you."

    Xie Kangzhong said loftily, "Those unqualified trashes are not qualified to cause you any concerns at all."

    "Yes."

    All the students had their blood ignited. So they were actually so impressive? True, in this age, having an educational background signified absolutebat power! What should they be afraid of? The ones that should be scared were thosemon warriors instead!

    And in the midst of the cheering crowd, a female student was looking around her grudgingly.

    ¡¯Chen Feng, you still choose not toe?¡¯

    "Let¡¯s go!"

    At Xie Kangzhong¡¯s order, everyone moved.

    The target¡ª

    Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain!

    At that moment.

    On a normal-looking hill near Gold City, two silhouettes in ck clothes were looking at the direction of Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain. Before their eyes, a huge screen appeared. On the screen was surprisingly the image of the whole Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain!

    "Is everything ready?"

    "Mhm, as per our n, countless valuable materials have been grown at Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain. Now, the whole Gold City knows that this is the most valuable exploration site. The numbers of people exploring Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain have increased by three timespared to the past."

    "That¡¯s good."

    "Should we continue the investment?"

    "No. It¡¯s time to wind things up."

    That voice coldly stated, "How can the money we invested be something so easy to get? Hehe, soon, they will all know..."

 Chapter 28: Rampage

    Chapter 28: Rampage

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Currently, at the secondyer of Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain, Chen Feng and the group were carefully moving forward. Everywhere around them were blue-colored ice walls. This ce was like a maze with countless routes within.

    Shua!

    Light swirled before Chen Feng¡¯s eyes as his consciousness returned to reality. On the ice wall in front of him, a drop of blood essence that radiated extraordinary patterns was flickering incessantly. A different glow was also appearing constantly on the ice wall before it ultimately shattered.

    45 seconds!

    Restriction lifted.

    Chen Feng slightly rxed his breath.

    The restrictions here were much simpler than the one Xu Fei had taken out previously. Chen Feng directly worked on it himself without relying on his luck values. Although it was slower, it was not slow enough to drag everyone down.

    "Here."

    Xu Fei passed over a bottle of spirit regeneration reagent. "I have a lot of these items. Use it as you wish."

    "Thanks."

    Chen Feng nodded slightly.

    Under the extensive operation of spiritual energy, the speed in which the digitized mode ran could be elerated. Hence, Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual energy exhaustion rate was extremely high. Luckily, there was Xu Fei, the rich guy, around. Hence, Chen Feng was able to improve his skills with the unending cycle of constant consumption and recovery of his spiritual energy. His skills in gene search under digitized mode were also improving greatly.

    "There¡¯s no problem, right?"

    Xu Fei was somewhat worried about the restrictions on the final twoyers.

    "No worries."

    Chen Feng smiled. "During crucial times, I won¡¯t hold things up."

    "Then it¡¯s good."

    Xu Fei understood.

    After dealing with the restriction and destroying a few mutated beasts, they continued moving forward. However, right at that moment, a burst of disorderly sound resounded from far away. Even the whole ice cave trembled slightly.

    "What¡¯s the matter?"

    The group was immediately alerted.

    "Monkey."

    Xu Fei¡¯s expression was serious.

    Shua!

    Faint energy flickered in Monkey¡¯s eyes as he suddenly disyed an astonished expression, as if he had seen something inconceivable.

    "Something happened."

    In a low voice, Monkey stated, "A lot of people arrived at the firstyer. They appear to be very young, seeming to be students of Gold City. The one leading seems to be a teacher. All the restrictions and mutated beasts have been gotten rid of. Even some materials that were still young sprouts have been picked. These people are not here to explore. They are simply here to clean this ce up."

    Students? Teacher?

    Everyone had a somewhat bad feeling. "How many of them?"

    "30 students and one teacher."

    Monkey paused. "That teacher seems to be quite strong."

    "How about the other explorers in the firstyer?"

    Cold glint shed in Xu Fei¡¯s eyes.

    "All kicked out."

    Monkey sneered. "Some of the groups wanted to resist, but were directly crippled by that teacher. If not due to there being students around, he would probably have killed them directly."

    Students, teacher...

    Chen Feng suddenly recalled the graduation affairs mentioned by Uncle Zhang.

    Chen Feng suddenly opened his mouth. "Can I have a look at their images?"

    Shua!

    Radiance flickered in Monkey¡¯s eyes before condensing into an image in front of him. This was a small skill he had developed using his gic ability. It was extremely useful.

    Chen Feng frowned. "It really is them."

    "You know them?" Xu Fei asked.

    "Mhm."

    Chen Feng nodded. "They are students from 3rd year 2nd ss of Gold City, my ex ssmates. That man was the teacher of my ss, Xie Kangzhong. I remember him being a D-ss gic warrior. The other students were around F-ss. After failing my examinations, I haven¡¯t been in touch with them."

    "D-ss gic warrior?"

    Monkey frowned. This teacher¡¯s strength was not weak indeed.

    "You are actually a high school student?"

    Zhou Ling was astonished.

    "You actually failed your examinations?"

    What shocked Xu Fei more was this fact. Based on Chen Feng¡¯s ability, how would he fail the examination? The knowledge demonstrated by Chen Feng along the trip alone was enough to easily surpass the level of the examinations.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    ¡®Is there a need to have such a big reaction?¡¯

    Chen Feng shook his head. "I got plotted against. Nothing to say about it."

    "Mhm."

    Xu Fei did not insist on sticking to this point. "How¡¯s your rtionship with them?"

    Chen Feng summarized it in one word. "Bad."

    "Let¡¯s continue, then. Get the item we need before them."

    Xu Fei did not hesitate at all. "We must absolutely avoid encountering them."

    "Only a few kids that were students. What do we need to be afraid of?"

    Zhou Ling sneered. "Even if that Xie Kangzhong is D-ss, we are not afraid either. Unless he wants all his students to die here, he would not dare to start a war with us."

    "Their teacher in charge is not the problem. The school behind them is the problem!"

    Xu Fei shook his head. "After beating up the students, teachers wille out. After beating up the teachers, directors wille out. After beating up the directors, next it might be the vice-principal..."

    "How are you so clear about this?"

    Zhou Ling blinked her eyes.

    "Because I have identally killed a university student once," Xu Fei said indifferently.

    Everyone: "..."

    This guy was indeed fierce!

    "This is not our territory. It¡¯s better to cause less trouble," Xu Fei said.

    "Alright."

    Zhou Ling shrugged.

    The few of them left quickly as they increased the speed of their exploration.

    They went straight the whole way without stopping. As soon as they met a restriction, they would let Tie Shi protect Chen Feng while the others handled the mutated beasts as Chen Feng used several minutes to deal with the restriction.

    In a very short time, they passed the thirdyer and reached the fourthyer.

    At the same time, the students had already reached the thirdyer. In the scene shown by Monkey, Chen Feng had seen the devastationid upon the first twoyers.

    A total mess!

    These students were akin to locusts!

    Anywhere they passed, not even a de of grass grew!

    "There¡¯s not much time left for us."

    Xu Fei gazed ahead before looking at the coordinates on his wristband. "The item I need is roughly there. As long as we remove that restriction, we can get it."

    The group carefully headed over.

    This was already the fourthyer. Different than the previousyers, the mutated beasts here already reached E-ss. Even they might suffer losses here!

    Whoosh!

    A mutated spider beast dropped from the sky.

    "Settle it."

    Xu Fei did not even blink.

    Cold ice aura blossomed from Zhou Ling¡¯s hands as she froze the spider. Wanting to deal with a mutated beast without leaving any signs behind, they could only rely on Zhou Ling.

    One beast...

    Two beasts...

    Monkey¡¯s eyes were clear like lightning.

    Under Xu Fei¡¯s assistance, Zhou Ling easily froze all the mutated beasts.

    "These fellows won¡¯t be frozen to death. We need to move fast."

    Zhou Ling was also somewhat anxious.

    The roaring sounds from theyer below were getting louder. Everyone else was very careful when they came exploring. Those students, on the other hand, were totally acting as if they were out on an outing together with their teacher! Evidently, from the loud noise, rampaging all the way without any restraint had also brought some troubles upon them.

    "I know," Xu Fei answered.

    Chen Feng and Tie Shi had managed to find an opportunity to rush toward the restriction.

    "Protect me."

    Chen Feng stated calmly as he immediately entered the digitized mode.

    "Mhm."

    Tie Shi groaned.

    "How long does it need?"

    Xu Fei asked.

    This restriction¡¯s difficulty level was much higher than the restrictions on the previous threeyers. Based on Chen Feng¡¯s speed of roughly one minute per restriction, the time required this time might be much higher.

    However, unexpectedly, Chen Feng did not answer him.

    "Chen Feng?"

    Xu Fei asked again.

    "Done."

    Chen Feng suddenly opened his eyes.

    Ka!

    The restriction before them melted quietly.

    "Damn!"

    Xu Fei and the group were stupefied.

    Only now did they understand Chen Feng¡¯s meaning earlier when he said that he wouldn¡¯t drag everyone down during a crucial time. This speed¡ªit was even much faster than his speed during the interview.

    "I¡¯m convinced!"

    Xu Fei gave him a thumbs-up.

    The group entered the secret room. There, a stalk of grass that flickered with purple color was swaying gently among the ice crystals. This... was also their target for this trip¡ªiceblue silk!

    "Iceblue silk."

    Xu Fei was excited. "I finally found it."

    He carefully grabbed toward that stalk of grass.

    However, at that exact moment, the whole room trembled slightly while the walls in the icy secret room turned into the skin of a huge ugly beast. The walls at all sides was actually the torso of this beast!

    "Not good."

    Everyone¡¯s expression changed.

    Camouge!

    This was the ability of an ice chameleon. This ugly ice monster actually possessed the bloodline gene of the ice chameleon!

    "Bang!"

    A punch from the beast.

    "Be careful."

    Zhou Ling cried out in rm.

    Shua!

    A floating ice mirror appeared in midair.

    Bang!

    The huge ice beast punched downward, smashing the ice mirror immediately. The mirror was only able to dy the punch for an instant. However, this one instant was enough for Xu Fei to react and escape by rolling his body.

    Bang!

    The ground was ruptured.

    A crater was actually formed from the smash on the ground.

    "Damn."

    Xu Fei was rmed to the point where his whole body was sweating. Previously, if it wasn¡¯t for Zhou Ling¡¯s fast reaction, he most probably would have died here. This damnable thing.

    "A mere E-ss mutated beast..."

    Xu Fei was enraged.

    Bang!

    Xu Fei was on rampage.

    Countless punch apanied by bright, dense mes smashed downward, creating one crater after another on the huge ice beast¡¯s body. Finally, the beast was beaten to death like that! An E-ss mutated beast that was not even of the purebat-type actually dared to ambush him? And he actually almost fell to the ambush.

    Hateful!

    Xu Fei ruthlessly stomped his feet as the huge ice beast turned into a puddle of liquid and disappeared.

    Xu Fei looked at his surroundings, alert, before he carefully put that stalk of grass into his previously prepared case. At this, the group rxed. This mission has beenpleted.

    "Let¡¯s go."

    Xu Fei nodded.

    The group left quickly, yet when they reached the entrance¡ª"Bang!"

    The wall at the entrance of the fourthyer was smashed apart.

    A group of youngsters walked out of it. The students and teacher of 3rd year, 2nd ss had arrived! Chen Feng frowned as he subconsciously hid behind Tie Shi, only showing half his silhouette.

    "There¡¯s actually someone at the fourthyer?"

    Xie Kangzhong did not expect this. As he nced at them, he noticed that it was a group of E-ss gic warriors and he understood immediately. He indifferently said, "We want to train here. You all can yield this ce to us."

    "All right."

    Xu Fei nodded.

    They did not have any ns to fight this group anyway.

    However, at this moment, Xie Kangzhong suddenly opened his mouth. "The case you are holding, what¡¯s inside?"

    Xu Fei frowned. "The spare reagents I prepared."

    "I¡¯m buying them," Xie Kangzhong said indifferently. "State your price."

    "Not selling," Xu Fei stated, undisturbed.

    "Not selling or not daring to sell?" Xie Kangzhong sneered. "This thing is probably something you got here, right? Let me think, needing to be preserved using this case, there¡¯s only one thing¡ªiceblue silk."

    Xu Fei slightly paused his movement.

    "Iceblue silk."

    The group of students immediately cried out in rm.

    "I heard that thing is very valuable."

    "Yeah, being valuable is not the main point. The main point is that thing being hard to preserve, so there¡¯s plenty of demand but no supply for it."

    "Oh, yeah, the gic materials required by Su Jin¡¯s breakthrough seemed to include iceblue silk, right?"

    "I think so."

    Everyone was discussing spiritedly.

    "You all can leave after handing it over."

    Xie Kangzhong coldly looked at Xu Fei and his group. A faint gust of power shimmered in his hands, "Some things that do not belong to you, once taking them, will only cause you to lose your life."

    The group of students was excited as they watched on. This was how tyrannical a D-ss gic warrior could be!

    A few mere E-ss warriors?

    What were they?

    And with their identity as soon-to-be university students, these countryside rogue cultivators would not dare to make their move at all. Otherwise, even if they won the fight, they would not be able to bear the consequences!

    "Live or die?"

    "Choose for yourself," Xie Kangzhong said tyrannically.

    The cold glint in Xu Fei¡¯s eyes had already condensed. He did not want to provoke these people. However, this did not mean that he was willing to be bullied by others. He did not expect that, despite avoiding them, he was still found by them.

    It seemed like...

    Xu Fei¡¯s expression became cold.

    Xie Kangzhong also looked at them while smiling faintly, preparing to make his move anytime.

    The battle could happen at any moment.

    However, at this moment, a soft voice resounded, "Chen Feng?"

    Everyone followed her gaze and saw that behind that tall and sturdy warrior, there was a silhouette. As they paid more attention to it, wasn¡¯t that Chen Feng?!

    "It¡¯s actually him?"

    "Dang! He started mingling with these rogue cultivators already?"

    "Probably because this is where a certain someone belongs at? Haha."

    "Now things be fun."

    Some students took joy in cmity of others. "Previously, Teacher Xie gave Chen Feng the best treatment. Unexpectedly, he had actually failed his examinations. Furthermore, he even refused to join the graduation cultivation trip. He actually came himself instead."

    "Yeah. Who knew that the magnificent top student would actually fail his examinations."

    Everyone started sneering.

    At this moment, Xu Fei and the group was bbergasted as they looked at Chen Feng. Top student? Amazing indeed! No wonder Chen Feng had previously said that he was plotted against. If he wasn¡¯t plotted against, based on Chen Feng¡¯s grades, was there a university that he couldn¡¯t enter? And his talent in gene producing...

    This was a true genius, ah.

    Plotting against?

    This group of idiots evidently did not realize what had they done.

    Xu Fei shook his head. Students nowadays were really getting worse with each batch.

    Oh, there was also the teacher.

    It seemed like his father¡¯s decision to not let him attend school¡ªinstead training him personally¡ªwas the correct choice. With these idiotic teachers, how many good students could result from their teachings?

    "Chen Feng."

    Xie Kangzhong looked at Chen Feng with a somewhatplicated expression on his face. "You..."

    "Sigh. How did you get reduced to such a condition?"

    Xie Kangzhong shook his head. "I know you have a strong ego, so you were not willing to join our trip. But... sigh, fine. I won¡¯t say anymore."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He remembered that this fellow did not invite him at all, right?

    "I will give you face and let them live."

    Xie Kangzhong indifferently said, "Let your friends hand over the thing and this matter can be settled like this."

    "Is there a problem with your brain?"

    Chen Feng sneered.

    He was somewhat curious as to why would there be a person with such a bizarre brain in this world!

    "Pffft."

    Zhou Lingughed immediately. Xu Fei and the rest also had the corner of their mouths twitching as they tried to hold in theirughter. Saying these words at this moment was indeed straight to the point.

    "Chen Feng!"

    A cold glint appeared in Xie Kangzhong¡¯s eyes. "During the three years of high school, I gave you the best treatment. Is this how you repay me?"

    "Enough bullshit."

    Chen Feng shook his head. "The school pays you a sry to teach. How did it be you doing me a favor? If you are sincere to me, it¡¯s fine, I will definitely be thankful. However, as soon as you found out that I failed the examinations, you did not even extend an invitation to me. Is this your integrity as a teacher?"

    "I know a lot of teachers in the school."

    "Some teachers are truly kindhearted. Some teachers are still upright and righteous despite being powerful. You are the only one I look down upon the most."

    Chen Feng sneered. "Wanting to erect a memorial when you are a hooker. You really think that students are so easy to deceive?"

    "What a sharp mouth."

    Xie Kangzhong expression turned ugly. "You don¡¯t have a father or mother, so I can understand you being without manners. However, for you to not even know how to respect your teacher, this is totally being ungrateful. If I had not stumbled upon you, it would be fine, but since I encountered you today, let me properly educate you. Giving you your final lesson to educate you in the virtue a teacher possesses!"

    "Bang!"

    A cold glint blossomed from Xie Kangzhong¡¯s hand as he prepared to make his move. Xu Fei and the group silently stood beside Chen Feng.

    "The virtue a teacher possesses?"

    Chen Feng burst out inughter. "These wordsing from your mouth are akin to ivory spouting out of a dog¡¯s mouth."

    "Chen Feng!"

    Xie Kangzhong¡¯s killing intent rose. "You really think that these E-ss trashes can protect you?"

    "No."

    Chen Feng shook his head. "You don¡¯t dare to make your move."

    "Why?"

    Xie Kangzhong sneered.

    "You are very powerful."

    Chen Feng smiled faintly. "If it was close quarters fight, we would naturally not be your opponent. However, are you sure that the students behind you can survive this? Mhm, let me think. During the graduation cultivation trip, the teacher was hell-bent on settling his personal grudge, causing all his students to perish, and only the teacher returned. This scene is truly quite spectacr, right?"

    Xie Kangzhong¡¯s expression immediately froze.

    Only now did he remember... he was now a teacher leading a ss!

    It was fine dealing with the weaklings they encountered before. But now, his opponents were four peak E-ss warriors. Could he really protect all the students and defeat them at the same time?

    "Chen Feng..."

    A soft voice resounded.

    Chen Feng subconsciously looked at the source of the voice. It came from a very beautiful female student. A student that was giving off a feeling of a delicate girl from a wealthy family, causing others to not be able to avoid wanting to protect her.

    "Su Jin."

    Chen Feng remembered this name.

    Oh, right. This was the girl the body¡¯s original owner was once secretly in love with. Due to his grades being among the best, their rtionship was actually quite good.

    "Why have you turned out this way?"

    Su Jin softly said, "At school, you were very modest and kind."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    "We know that you failed your examinations and are in a bad mood. However, how can you speak like this to a teacher? Teacher Xie treated you very nicely during our third year. Even your schrship was applied for with teacher¡¯s help. Otherwise, how would you be able to afford to buy a spirit-type gene reagent?" Su Jin said seriously.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Chen Feng felt like the Su Jin in front of him appeared to be radiating holy light. That dense light could even form a big word¡ªwhite lotus[1].

    This was the girl the body¡¯s original owner had liked?

    What a heavy taste.

    Chen Feng couldn¡¯t even be bothered to expose her ¡®performance.¡¯

    At this moment, the remaining students also started to feel indignant. Su Jin¡¯s word had actually affected every student¡¯s mood. That¡¯s right, how could a person be like this?

    "Was what she said true?" Xu Fei asked curiously.

    "Yeah." Chen Feng did not know whether tough or cry. "I was the top student. If the schrship was not given to me, who could they give it to? He really did want to give it to others, however, could he?"

    So it was like this.

    Zhou Ling and the group were suddenly enlightened. Damn, even the school¡¯s schrship became a teacher¡¯s tool for giving off favors? The schools nowadays were too scary.

    "Teacher, we don¡¯t need to continue spouting rubbish here with them."

    Wang Yue suddenly opened his mouth. "I will protect the students. You can go deal with those few fellows."

    "You have a way?"

    Xie Kangzhong knew that this student had a strong background. Unfortunately, even after he had tried to fawn on him many times, Wang Yue was indifferent. Why had he suddenly stood forward now?

    "Naturally."

    Wang Yue smiled calmly.

    "Rise!"

    His wrist drifted around, activating the chip on it.

    "Hum¡ª"

    A dim energy protective barrier enveloped all the students.

    "E-ss protective energy barrier. Able to defend against one attack from an E-ss gic warrior," Wang Yue said indifferently. "Of course, if you were to let them rush over here to attack us, this cover of mine would not be able to hold on."

    Wang Yue felt somewhat regretful. Due to his strength being too weak, he was only able to use an E-ss energy barrier chip. Otherwise...

    "No worries. That won¡¯t happen."

    Xie Kangzhong smiled coldly. "Just a few E-ss wild dogs. Still not something that warrants my attention. Conveniently, I also want to take a look. Without these few dogs supporting you, can you, Chen Feng, still be so arrogant?"

    "Teacher, don¡¯t hurt him."

    Su Jin said softly, "Chen Feng is not a bad person."

    "I won¡¯t."

    Xie Kangzhong smiled at her, "I will only give him a lesson. Or else, with his current attitude, he will provoke others in the future, causing him to lose his life."

    Only at this did Su Jin retire.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    His reaction toward this girl¡¯s performance could only be described with the expression ¡®gasping in amazement.¡¯

    At this moment, Xie Kangzhong had already stepped forward.

    "Bang!"

    The terrifying aura belonging to a D-ss gic warrior was released. Even though Xu Fei and the group were already at the peak of E ss, they could still feel a terrifying pressure.

    "D ss..."

    Xu Fei smiled.

    This teacher in charge that had only hid within a school and trained to D-ss really believed that a D-ss could absolutely oppress an E ss? To even absolutely crush a peak E-ss warrior?

    "Let¡¯s give it a try, then."

    A somewhat cruel smile was exposed on Xu Fei¡¯s face.

    At the same time, at the other side, Wang Yue was looking at Chen Feng while smiling faintly. "After getting a few wild dogs as your supporters, you think that you are now very impressive? Although Xie Kangzhong is a good for nothing, today, I still want to take a good look at how will you be taken care of by him."

    "This E-ss energy barrier chip was something newly bought?"

    Chen Feng was stunned as he looked at theyer of this barrier. There actually existed this kind of thing in this world.

    "Of course."

    Wang Yue was proud. "This is not something a trash like you could have ess to..."

    "No wonder I didn¡¯t see itst time, when I beat you up."

    Chen Feng was suddenly enlightened.

    Wang Yue¡¯s hand trembled as veins appeared on his forehead.

    At this, the surrounding students remembered that a few days ago, it seemed like there were people who saw that Wang Yue was injured. Unexpectedly, it was actually due to getting beat up by Chen Feng.

    "Hehehehe."

    Wang Yue looked at Chen Feng coldly. "Chen Feng, I will see how long you can stay arrogant. You are not worried about your friends at all? They will all probably die soon."

    "Them?"

    Chen Feng shook his head. "I¡¯m not worried about them. On the contrary, I¡¯m worried about you guys."

    "Worried about us?"

    Wang Yue suddenly felt an ominous feeling.

    "Yeah. Are you sure that this toy of yours can defend against an E-ss attack?" Chen Feng was curious.

    "Of course."

    Wang Yue said in contempt, "This, is something produced by the Stormtech¡ª"

    Before he could even finish his sentence.

    Leisurely, Chen Feng fished out a bottle of gene reagent that was flickering with white light from his pocket. From far away, he tossed it over. The bottlended on the energy barrier.

    "Bang!"

    Endless thunderbolts bombarded the barrier.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    In a split second, it was shattered by the thunderbolts. The impressive protective energy barrier mentioned by Wang Yue was destroyed through brute force before even disying its power.

    Everyone was stupefied!

    What f*cking item was that?

    A protective barrier capable of taking on an E-ss warrior¡¯s attack was finished just like that?

    How was that possible?

    Wang Yue copsed as he looked at the screen on his wristband. On it, two very dreadful words were written¡ªenergy exhausted!

    In other words, in a split second, Chen Feng¡¯s attack had exceeded the limit of what the energy barrier could take. Not only was the energy barrier destroyed. Even the energy stones that he had prepared were exhausted.

    How was that possible?!

    "You..."

    Wang Yue pointed at Chen Feng for a long time, but he was still dazed, not daring to open his mouth. That was because, at this time, once again, Chen Feng had leisurely fished out another bottle of gene reagent that was flickering with the same light. Under the radiance of the blue-colored ice in the cave, it looked so dazzling.

    "Want to try again?"

    Chen Feng said leisurely, rolling the reagent bottle on his hand.

    "Gulp."

    All the students gulped, looking at Chen Feng in fear, terrified that the item would slip from his hands.

    At the same moment, Xie Kangzhong, who was prepared to have a good fight and eliminate Xu Fei¡¯s group, heard the noise behind him. At that, he stopped and looked at the reagent bottle in Chen Feng¡¯s hand, unbelievable expression in his eyes.

    "This is also your harvest this time?"

    Xie Kangzhong¡¯s gaze was cold. "Very good. To actually threaten me using my students."

    "Leave. I allow you all to leave!"

    Xie Kangzhong bellowed, "Scram out of here."

    Chen Feng was beaming with smiles as he watched Xie Kangzhong¡¯s ¡®performance.¡¯

    "Let¡¯s go," Xu Fei said.

    They really did not want to continue interacting with this bunch of people with obviously low IQs.

    "Mhm."

    Chen Feng nodded faintly.

    Suddenly, he stopped his steps. He looked toward the students as he said softly, "To put your trust on this Xie Kangzhong fellow, all of you will regret one day."

    "Scram!"

    "A person with no sense of shame!"

    A few students cursed in rage.

    "Damn it. Chen Feng, you actually dare to threaten teacher using us."

    "Yeah. This is pushing it."

    A lot of them were feeling indignant.

    "Why have you turned out this way?"

    Su Jin was disappointed.

    "These damnable people. They actually dare to threaten me using all of you. This is truly..." Xie Kangzhong said angrily.

    "Teacher. Don¡¯t be afraid of him. We will take revenge for you!"

    "Yeah, we are all soon-to-be university students."

    "Wait until we entered the university..."

    A lot of the studentsforted him.

    "You all..."

    Xie Kangzhong was gratified.

    Although he appeared angry, inwardly, he wasn¡¯t really that angry. It might appear like he had been insulted by Chen Feng, but he had instead gained the favor of all the students!

    Why had Xie Kangzhong, who was obviously the strongest, retreated in humiliation?

    It was for these students!

    Very touching, right?

    It was apparent from the gazes of these students. Apart from Wang Yue, who couldn¡¯t even be bothered about him, the eyes of other students were all filled with gratitude.

    This gamble was profitable!

    Currently, Chen Feng and the group were far away.

    "That teacher of yours was really ¡®awesome¡¯."

    Xu Fei gasped in admiration. With his current insight, of course he had clearly seen things for what they were. "If I didn¡¯t know better, I would have thought that fellow was an acting faculty graduate."

    "Why did you not expose him?" Zhou Ling looked at Chen Feng curiously.

    "I can¡¯t be bothered." Chen Feng shook his head. "Since it did not affect our benefits, even if he were to fly to the heavens, I wouldn¡¯t be bothered."

    Everyone smiled.

    "However, kid, you, on the other hand, have gained a whole new level of respect from me." Xu Fei was still feeling astonished.

    Originally, he had thought that they would need to risk their lives today. Who knew that it would end with Chen Feng easily settling the whole matter?

    As he thought about that mysterious yet powerful gene reagent, Xu Fei¡¯s heart chilled. This Chen Feng, who appeared to be a producer with only a 1-star production level, was absolutely qualified to be on equal footing with them.

    "Let¡¯s go. Leave this ce first."

    Chen Feng suddenly opened his mouth. "This ce keeps giving me a bad feeling."

    "Same here." Monkey said the same thing.

    "Go."

    With Xu Fei¡¯s lead, everyone left quickly.

    **

    Outeryer, Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain.

    On the shore, two people were looking at the middle ind from far away. On the screen in front of them, numbers kept popping out, ultimately stopping at 96.

    "Almost there."

    "Mhm. The first batch of people driven out by that teacher are almost out."

    "It¡¯s a pity. If that damnable fellow did not drive them out, the number of people left would definitely be higher."

    "96 people are enough."

    The two of them exchanged calmly.

    Several hundred years ago, a drop of a mutated seadragon beast¡¯s blood essence was identally left here. It turned the wilderness into a sea, with the power of seadragon¡¯s blood blending into every drop of seawater here. From that moment, they had started their n. Using several hundred years to breed mutated beasts, all of it was for today!

    To change this seadragon¡¯s blood into seadragon blood essence!

    And now¡ª

    As long as the blood essence of all the mutated beasts containing a trace of seadragon¡¯s bloodline were fused, it was possible for it to be refined into the legendary seadragon blood essence!

    As for the mutated seadragon beast?

    It never appeared!

    How would something like that appear in this kind of barrennd? Even those legends rted to dragons were rumors created by those from Gold City to seek fame.

    "The expectations of a few hundred years, ah..." a person mumbled to himself.

    "Yeah."

    "We are totally unqualified to have any sort of contact with a proper seadragon blood essence. However, through this method of brewing seadragon blood essence in secret, there¡¯s a chance for us to actually produce a seadragon gene. As long as the seadragon gene is fused, giving birth to an expert, our Long[1] family will truly rise up!"

    "True. Only one. Only one expert need arise; that will be enough!" another voice said in a low voice.

    Their eyes were burning.

    "Then..."

    "Begin!"

    Both of them raised their hands.

    "Bang!"

    The sea started to boil.

    At this moment, the eyes of all the mutated beasts here turned red.

    "Howl¡ª"

    "Howl¡ª"

    Countless screams resounded.

    The few people that had almost reached the coast were under crazed attacks by the mutated beasts that had appeared suddenly.

    "Not good. All the mutated beasts have gone crazy."

    "Their strength has increased multiple times. We can¡¯t defend against them at all."

    "Hurry, to the coast."

    Everyone started escaping frantically to the coast.

    However, just as they were about to reach the coast, one of the two people there waved his hand as seawater rushed forth and drew them back into the sea.

    "No!"

    A despairing scream resounded.

    The seawater... became crimson red in color.

    This very moment, human blood and mutated beast blood were fused together.

    At the same time, Chen Feng and the group that had just reached the fourthyer entrance had their expressions change greatly. The thirdyer that had been originally cleared had, for an unknown reason, filled with a lot of mutated beasts. All of the beasts had red eyes and were rushing toward the fourthyer.

    "Not good."

    Xu Fei¡¯s expression changed. "The thirdyer is full of mutated beasts that have gone crazy!"

    "Not only the thirdyer."

    Monkey suddenly opened his mouth. "The mutated beasts in the whole of Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain have gone crazy. In the first, second, and thirdyers, all the mutated beasts are rushing toward here!"

    "What should we do, then?" Zhou Ling became somewhat pale.

    They were able to confront Xie Kangzhong without fear. However, for mutated beasts...

    "Hold on."

    The radiance in Monkey¡¯s eyes flickered. "I found a route. Follow me."

    "Alright."

    Everyone followed him.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    The whole Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain was trembling.

    Something happened.

    Something major happened!

    However, they had yet to escape 100 meters from their original position before they saw Xie Kangzhong leading everyone else and escaping in panic toward here.

    "Fifthyer..."

    "That mutated beast in the fifthyer came down!"

    Someone yelled, "That fellow went crazy. It was chasing after us."

    They screamed in fear.

    However, everyone ignored them.

    Chen Feng and the group moved quickly and left their line of sight. The superiority of having fewer people was disyed at this moment. There were too many members among the students, so they were not able to move fast at all.

    Xie Kangzhong was almost driven to despair. This was because he had suddenly found that, if this continued, everyone would really die! Including him!

    Indeed, if he was able to escape with everyone, he would be able to gain more favors. However, regardless of how many favors it was, he needed to be alive to use them!

    And now...

    Xie Kangzhong looked at the shaking ice cave and the mutated beasts that were everywhere and struggled internally before clenching his teeth. Light started swirling around him and he rushed out by himself.

    He had actually escaped!

    "Teacher!"

    All the students were stupefied.

    Es¡ªescaped?

    Their teacher that was in charge had actually escaped alone?

    Wang Yue was stunned.

    Su Jin was stunned.

    Everyone was stunned.

    No matter what, they did not expect that righteous teacher who imed to do everything for their good would actually abandon them without the slightest hesitation! At this moment, Chen Feng¡¯s earlier words seemed to echo within their heart, "To put your trust on this Xie Kangzhong fellow, all of you will regret one day..."

    Now, they were already regretting it.

    Regretting one¡¯s past deeds!

    What should they do?

    This was not a ce F-ss warriors like them could stay at. Furthermore, all the mutated beasts here had gone crazy!

    Now, everyone copsed emotionally.

    "I don¡¯t want to die."

    Some people started crying.

    "I am the future genius. I can¡¯t die here."

    Some people started screaming.

    Su Jin looked toward a certain direction while a tinge of grief appeared in her eyes. If¡ªif they had listened to Chen Feng earlier, would he have actually saved them?

    However...

    Everyone regretted it.

    "Damn it."

    Wang Yue felt his mouth go dry.

    He had never expected to fall into such a situation.

    He had wanted to contact others, but he found that, at an unknown time, all the signals here had started to be blocked. They couldn¡¯t contact anyone!

    "I can¡¯t die."

    "I shouldn¡¯t die in this ce."

    Wang Yue was frantic.

    How grandeur was his identity. How could he die here?

    It absolutely could not happen!

    However, how to survive?

    At this moment, he had fallen into despair.

    "We are finished."

    Some of them had already started sitting down powerlessly. The mutated beasts were approaching them without stop. Many of them started to activate their gic ability to resist, yet how much good would it do?

    Regardless of how strong your gic ability was!

    Regardless of how talented you were!

    Here...

    At this ce filled with E-ss mutated beasts, they could only die.

    "Can we contact the school?" someone asked.

    "No signal." Su Jin shook her head bitterly.

    "We are all finished."

    This time, everyone had fallen into despair.

    Geniuses, universities, at this moment, were but a joke.

    Chapter 32: The Only Lifeline

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At this moment, Chen Feng, Monkey, and the group had already found the new exit. Due to therge amount of mutated beasts being attracted by Xie Kangzhong, the pressure on them was lowered.

    "From here we can reach the 3rdyer," Monkey said in rush.

    There was a restriction here. It was a different entrance of the fourthyer. Within such a short period of time, Monkey had managed to find the route back. This wasn¡¯t an easy feat.

    "It depends on you now," Xu Fei said nervously.

    "Mhm." Chen Feng nodded. However, just as he was about to enter the digitized mode, he suddenly paused.

    "What¡¯s the matter?"

    Xu Fei and the others exchanged nces.

    "Shh¡ª" Chen Feng said softly, as if he had felt something.

    At this time.

    As everyone quieted down, from far away, a mournful sound of weeping became distinct. That was the sound of 3rd year, 2nd ss students. It was their voice!

    As Zhou Ling and the group heard this, they were stunned.

    "That teacher actually escaped alone..."

    Even this team of theirs, which was assembled on the fly, did not give up on their teammates. On the other hand, Xie Kangzhong, this teacher-in-charge that had personally brought the 3rd year, 2nd ss students here had actually abandoned his own students and fled by himself? This was simply ridiculous!

    "Ignore them."

    Xu Fei sneered. "These students are unable to distinguish right from wrong. They are all good for nothings anyway."

    "Right." Zhou Ling believed the same.

    Following their teacher on an exploration?

    To heck with that. They were totally robbers! For him to have demanded they hand over the material they had gotten after great difficulty yet not one student had objected to that action? Where were their morals?!

    However, Chen Feng had stopped his footsteps.

    "F*ck."

    "Chen Feng, it can¡¯t be that you really want to save them, right?"

    Xu Fei and the rest were stunned. From his previous actions, they could see that Chen Feng was a practical person. At this time, he wouldn¡¯t suddenly be a kind-hearted messiah, right?

    They had been surviving in the wilderness for a very long time. What they feared the most was getting this kind of team member!

    "I only recalled one thing."

    Chen Feng frowned. "Who is confident that we can definitely escape?"

    "No."

    Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

    Surviving?

    At this time, no one had absolute confidence.

    Crises were everywhere.

    They did not even know what kind of monster that scary fellow from the fifthyer was. Even if they could leave Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain, none of them were aware of the situation outside! Furthermore, they had a premonition that the crisis outside might not be any less than the one inside. At times like this, no one had absolute confidence!

    This time, it was truly dangerous!

    Chen Feng suddenly opened his mouth. "I have confidence!"

    "For real?"

    Xu Fei and the rest were ecstatic.

    In this kind of dangerous situation, Chen Feng actually had absolute confidence?

    "Of course. If you all are willing to trust my words."

    Chen Feng smiled.

    Xu Fei and the rest exchanged nces before ultimately nodding resolutely. Although they had not been together for a long time, they still believed in Chen Feng.

    "Then follow me."

    Chen Feng turned around and walked toward the students.

    "Sigh."

    Xu Fei and the rest smiled bitterly. They could only follow him.

    They did not know why Chen Feng would suddenly be a kind-hearted person at this time. However, since Chen Feng had confidence, they would totally fight it out alongside Chen Feng!

    "At times like this, we can only trust in this fellow."

    Everyone smiled bitterly.

    Chen Feng walked unwaveringly toward the student, while a smile curved on the corner of his mouth.

    Kind-hearted?

    How was that possible!

    He couldn¡¯t be bothered with this bunch of fools!

    Even the body¡¯s original owner was on bad terms with these students. He wouldn¡¯t be any different! The reason he wanted to save them was due to him sensing a familiar aura drifting past him. From that, he understood something. Wanting to leave alive, the only lifeline was within the hands of these students.

    To be urate¡ªit was in Wang Yue¡¯s hands!

    At this moment, the sea zone of Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain had already been dyed red with blood.

    Nobody noticed that, high above on the air, a spotlessly white cloud was drifting there, moving up and down with the wind, gracefully.

    ***

    Fourthyer of Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain. All the students were seated on the ground in despair.

    After trying everything they could and finding out that they couldn¡¯t hurt those mutated beasts at all, they had totally given up. They were waiting¡ªwaiting for the moment of death.

    All 30 of them were sitting on the ground. The silence was stifling. There was only a faintly discernible weeping sound. In the distance, a mutated beast was dashing toward them.

    Everyone knew that the moment the mutated beast reached them was also the moment of their death.

    At this moment, Su Jin stood up and blocked the way in front of the mutated beast.

    "If we must die, then let me be the first to die?"

    Su Jin closed her eyes. "If we didn¡¯t trust teacher so much and organized this activity, I..."

    Nobody stopped her. Because... it was pointless. Since everyone would die anyway, what was the difference between who died earlier?

    "Howl¡ª"

    The aura of that mutated beast became increasingly terrifying. A lot of students hugged each other while trembling. As they saw the beast reach Su Jin, they couldn¡¯t help but start closing their eyes. However, at this moment, a loud sound reverberated, waking everyone up. The moment they opened their eyes, they were all stunned.

    A silhouette stood in front of them.

    It was Chen Feng!

    Chen Feng had brought the few friends of his and killed that mutated beast!

    "Although it became stronger, it¡¯s still trash."

    Xu Fei stepped on the mutated beast¡¯s corpse.

    "Mhm."

    Zhou Ling curled her lips as she looked at those stunned students. "Although I do not know why that idiot Chen Feng wants to save you all, if any of you dare to slow us down, I will be the first to kill you all."

    Monkey and Tie Shi nced at them coldly.

    "Chen Feng..."

    "Saved us?"

    Only at this was everyone awoken from their stupor.

    Saved!

    They were actually saved!

    Everyone was crying tears of joy.

    Next, they quickly recalled that it was Chen Feng, the one scolded by them earlier, the one driven away by them earlier, who voluntarily came and saved them!

    At this thought, everyone lowered their heads in shame.

    "Sorry."

    Everyone was ashamed.

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. In front, Su Jin stared at him in daze. "Am I dreaming?"

    Chen Feng grumbled. "Do you want to take a nap while you¡¯re at it?"

    "Go!"

    Chen Feng did not give them any time to talk about useless things. "Everyone, don¡¯t talk, don¡¯t be noisy, don¡¯t cry! Whoever dares to create a disturbance, I will directly throw you out! Only this way..." Chen Feng paused, "can we survive."

    Everyone was silent. They noticed the ¡®we¡¯ that Chen Feng said. As they recalled their attitude toward Chen Feng earlier, a lot of them lowered their head in shame.

    "Let¡¯s go."

    Chen Feng brought everyone to the entrance found by Monkey.

    "I can help you all."

    Wang Yue inhaled a deep breath. Although he hated Chen Feng, at times like this, both of them had to work together.

    "Although I do not have anybat power, I am also a beginner gene producer. My spiritual energy is very powerful. I can help you remove the restrictions."

    "..."

    Chen Feng nced at him and coldly said, "No need."

    "Chen Feng!"

    Wang Yue clenched his teeth. "I know you hate me. However, now is a matter of life and death. Can you let go of your hatred? Your spiritual energy is only 30 points, while I¡¯m currently at 80 points. It is many times higher than yours. The speed I remove restrictions at is much faster than yours!"

    "No need."

    Chen Feng walked towards the restriction indifferently.

    "Chen Feng."

    Wang Yue was bursting with rage. Yet, he could only talk nicely. "This kind of restriction, with 30 points spiritual energy, you need at least three minutes to remove it. I only need one minute. I..."

    Wang Yue had not even finished his sentence.

    "Ka!"

    Restriction removed.

    Wang Yue opened his mouth wide, not closing it even after a long time.

    All the students were stupefied.

    Damn.

    One second?

    What heaven defying talent was that? This was their top student Chen Feng? The number one of their school, Chen Feng? The Chen Feng that was high above everyone else? At this moment, they suddenly had a feeling that even if Chen Feng did not enter a university, he was still not something they could overtake!

    Perhaps, some people were simply born as geniuses.

    "Final warning. Stop spouting nonsense."

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze swept past Wang Yue coldly. "You only need to follow behind us."

    "Let¡¯s go."

    Xu Fei found itughable.

    Comparing restriction removal speed with Chen Feng? Kid, even if you had 100 points of spiritual energy, it was useless!

    Restriction removed.

    Everyone left in an orderly fashion.

    With the lesson earlier, this time, nobody opened their mouth. Even Wang Yue stopped talking. Instead, he was silently following behind. The group reached the firstyer without any problems. The mutated beasts they had met on the way were dealt with by Xu Fei and his group, while all the restrictions they met on the way were instantly removed by Chen Feng.

    That¡¯s right. Instant removal.

    Powerful spiritual energy? Beginner producer?

    What was the point?

    In front of Chen Feng, they were all nothing but a joke!

    All the way from the fourthyer to the firstyer, no restrictions were able tost longer than one second in front of Chen Feng. Under Xu Fei¡¯s unending supply of spiritual recovery reagents, Chen Feng swept through everything in their way, smoothly bringing everyone out. All the students were stupefied, while Xu Fei found their reaction funny.

    Soon, they left the ice cave.

    However, just as they left the mountain range, everyone was shocked by the scene outside.

    Blood!

    Blood everywhere!

    That vast ocean had actually turned blood red!

    "What actually happened..."

    Xu Fei was still nning to ask some questions when, suddenly, sounds of explosion arose from the mountain behind them.

    "Rumble rumble!"

    The whole mountain copsed and sounds of rumbling could be heard nonstop, causing everyone¡¯s heart to palpitate. At this moment, all the 3rd year, 2nd ss students felt a lingering fear in their heart.

    If they had been somewhat slower...

    If it wasn¡¯t for Chen Feng¡¯s heaven defying speed of restriction removal...

    They looked at Chen Feng, the person who had saved them like a hero earlier. At this moment, he was still as calm as ever. Perhaps... this was a true genius?

    "Bang!"

    The whole mountain copsed.

    Azure colored ice sttered around. The spot where the Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain was on earlier had actually sunk down, forming a huge whirlpool akin to a huge open mouth that was sinister and dreadful. A big mountain like that had actually been swallowed cleanly in several tens of seconds.

    With the copse of the mountain leaving a whirlpool behind, what was left of the huge ind was only a ring-shaped zone with the whirlpool in the middle. The scariest part was that, within the whirlpool, a D-ss mutated beast, the very same beast from the fifthyer, was frantically struggling, trying to escape yet firmly held onto by the suction force of the whirlpool.

    "Howl¡ª"

    One after another, sounds of howls thundered.

    The D-ss mutated beast struggled frantically. However, the more it struggled, the deeper it sank. Slowly, it was swallowed by the whirlpool, no longer visible to the eyes.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone inhaled a breath of cold air.

    Xu Fei and everyone else were standing at the edge of the ring-shaped ind. As they saw this scene, their whole bodies started perspiring.

    Almost!

    They almost suffered the same fate as that mutated beast.

    "This ce won¡¯tst too long."

    Zhou Ling said, "Let¡¯s leave quickly."

    Hum!

    Ice energy blossomed in Zhou Ling¡¯s hands and the water surface under their feet turned into ice. However, before they could even start to feel happy, suddenly, all the ice shattered instantly.

    "Bang!"

    A mutated beast with red eyes appeared on the sea¡¯s surface.

    Ssh!

    Ssh!

    A series of bizarre sounds arose.

    Immediately after, one scary-looking mutated beast after another started appearing on the surface of the red-colored sea that resembled a sea of blood, causing everyone to start shuddering in fear.

    What the heck was this?

    "Ao¡ª"

    All the mutated beasts went crazy after seeing strangers.

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    Waves sshed around.

    Provoked by the aura of strangers, all the mutated beasts rushed toward them. Their strength was constantly increasing, while their amount was too many to count!

    "Damn it!"

    Zhou Ling and the rest put up a resistance in a hurry.

    me.

    Ice!

    All the power they could muster had been unleashed, yet they couldn¡¯t stop the beasts at all!

    "What should we do?" Xu Fei howled loudly.

    "The amount is too high. We can¡¯t stop them anymore." Zhou Ling smiled bitterly.

    Bang!

    Tie Shi smashed away a mutated beast that was flying toward them with a punch. His expression was as cold as always. The strength of his whole body had been stretched to its limit, as the amount of mutated beasts here were too high.

    "Damn it."

    Xu Fei¡¯s heart chilled.

    What on earth happened to this damnable ce?

    Nobody knew!

    These beasts were not strong, but there were too many of them!

    As for those students, even under the protection of Xu Fei¡¯s group, they were all still shivering in fear. Some of them with support type gic ability were carefully unleashing their abilities. However, it didn¡¯t help much. This one trip had destroyed all of their arrogance as soon-to-be university students!

    "What should we do?"

    A lot of the girls started weeping softly.

    At this moment, Chen Feng suddenly walked forward. Under Tie Shi¡¯s protection, he reached the coast. Everyone¡¯s gaze was subconsciously attracted by him.

    "Monkey, done with your calctions?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Yes." Monkey nodded slightly. "Over 600 F-ss mutated beasts. Despite all of them having their strength increased from going berserk, there are no E-ss beasts. Only, the amount is too high, so we can¡¯t deal with it at all."

    "Zhou Ling!"

    "Smash all these mutated beasts back into the seawater," Chen Feng bellowed.

    "Understood."

    Zhou Ling¡¯s whole body radiated with a cold glint. A terrifying frost energy exploded instantly and forced many of the mutated beasts that were already near them back into the sea. However, this was the most she could aplish. Those mutated beasts did not suffer any injuries. Instead, they started their charge in a crazier manner.

    "I tried my best." Zhou Ling paled and almost dropped down on ground.

    Su Jin held her up.

    "Then, next... leave it to me." Chen Feng inhaled, and the reagent with a white flickering radiance in his hands was thrown into the seawater.

    "Bang!"

    White rays of light blossomed.

    In Chen Feng¡¯s eyes, a cold glint flickered.

    Endless amounts of thunder energy blossomed at this moment. A small, bizarre snake formed of thunder appeared, flickered in the sea, and grew crazily under the nourishment of the mysterious power contained within the seawater. With the nourishment from the seawater, it instead unleashed an astonishing might that even Chen Feng himself had not predicted.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    The sea of blood was boiling.

    All the mutated beasts were electrocuted till their skins were charred and their insides were tender. They struggled frantically in the seawater. After a long time, when the thunder disappeared, only a vast expanse of floating corpses was left on the sea of blood.

    Dead.

    All dead!

    Even Chen Feng had not expected this.

    The thunderstorm reagent only possessed the power of one E-ss attack!

    His original n was, despite the power of the thunderstorm reagent and facing this amount of mutated beasts, to clear up a bloody path at most, enabling them to escape. He never expected the thunderstorm reagent¡¯s power in water, especially within this mysterious seawater, to far exceed his imagination.

    So powerful.

    Everyone was looking at Chen Feng in shock.

    Even Xu Fei and his group were stunned. They had originally thought that he was amazing enough with his ability to destroy Wang Yue¡¯s energy barrier and instantly remove restrictions. They had never expected him to be powerful to such an extent.

    This fellow...

    Xu Fei smiled bitterly.

    At the same time.

    All the students of the 3rd year, 2nd ss were looking at the figure standing on the shore. Chen Feng was not far from them, yet he gave everyone an indescribable sense of security. More than once, it was this person, who had been despised by them, that had saved them from despair.

    Failing the examinations?

    What a joke!

    Everyone felt like their faces had been pped, feeling extremely ashamed.

    Chen Feng!

    Wang Yue stared at Chen Feng, bellowing in his heart. He could not believe it. How could Chen Feng possess such strength? That fellow was akin to trash! Now that Wang Yue was supported by ample resources, he should be leaving Chen Feng far behind! How could he allow this trash to step on his head?

    No...

    Wang Yue mumbled.

    It was only due to him not fusing with that gene yet!

    ¡®Chen Feng, I will be stronger than you. Not only in production, when I have fused that gene, I will be the strongest gic warrior and producer in history! The path that normal people like you all don¡¯t dare to tread, I shall tread!¡¯

    Wang Yue roared in his heart.

    He did not feel the slightest sense of gratitude toward Chen Feng for saving his life. Being saved by Chen Feng, he felt worse than dying! It was just a few days ago that he had made a solemn vow to Chen Feng that he would leave Chen Feng behind. Yet today, he had been suppressed by Chen Feng countless times. How would he be happy?

    It was simply feeling worse alive than dead.

    This feeling was akin to getting his face stepped on by Chen Feng.

    ¡®I... will not lose!¡¯

    Wang Yue resolutely clenched his fists.

    However, at this time, Chen Feng couldn¡¯t be bothered with them at all. Instead, he was looking at the opposite bank of the sea. There stood two ck-clothed people. Dense spiritual undtions were flickering around their body.

    Chen Feng opened his mouth. "Monkey."

    "Understood."

    Blue light blossomed from Monkey¡¯s eyes. They flickered unceasingly and he confirmed shortly after, "It was them. They are actually nning to use the whole sea as a material to produce something!"

    "Their intention is to kill everyone here!" Monkey¡¯s tone was cold.

    "Then just get rid of them."

    Killing intent rose in Xu Fei¡¯s eyes. "By killing them, we can survive."

    "Go!"

    Zhou Ling had recovered a lot. She stood up with an ice-cold expression. "Let me see who on earth these two fellows that were pulling the strings behind everything are."

 Chapter 34: Blood Devouring Metamorphosis

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Currently, at the opposite bank far away, both ck-clothed men had noticed what had happened opposite them.

    "Interesting. Dragon 1, it seems like we have been found," a ck clothed man said, smiling.

    "What¡¯s there to be afraid of, Dragon 2?"

    Dragon 1 smiled calmly. "A few E-ss wild dogs. Although it is regretful that the D-ss fellow managed to escape, with these guys as offerings, it is still sufficient to produce a seadragon blood essence."

    "Oh, we are making our move now?"

    The corners of Dragon 2¡¯s mouth curled up in a smile.

    "Mhm."

    Dragon 1 nodded. "I¡¯m starting to have an ominous feeling. To avoid having something unexpected happen, I will start refining the seadragon blood essence while you go and deal with those wild dogs. While you are at it, you can destroy that bunch of students as well."

    "Understood."

    Dragon 2 shook his head. "Fresh students. I am looking forward to it, ah."

    Whoosh!

    The pitch ck figure disappeared in a sh.

    "Ah."

    Dragon 1 shook his head.

    He looked at the whirlpool in the sea. The whirlpool was twisting crazily and had actually condensed the power of the whole sea to its core. The color of the nameless sea became clear while all the blood-red color was drained to the core of the whirlpool. Dragon 1 pointed midair and the whirlpool suddenly inverted, releasing the D-ss mutated beast.

    "Bang!"

    The D-ss mutated beast was thrown off, its body dyed red with blood.

    "Howl¡ª"

    With a bellow, the mutated beast dashed forward. Its red-colored eyes were fixed on Dragon 1 and filled with greed. On Dragon 1¡¯s body, it smelled a familiar smell.

    "Whoosh!"

    It dashed toward Dragon 1.

    "Haha, I have been waiting a long time for you."

    Dragon 1¡¯s gaze was sinister. "Let me have a look. Are you capable of bearing the power of a dragon?"

    "Xiu!"

    Dragon 1 cut his own finger and a drop of blood essence flew into the body of the blood-colored mutated beast. There was only a weak trace of dragon gene in Dragon 1¡¯s body. However, this drop of blood with a weak trace of dragon gene in it was sufficient toplete the seadragon gene that was formed by the power of countless bloodlines.

    "Bang!"

    A bizarre light beam soared toward the sky.

    "Suppress!"

    Light swirled around Dragon 1¡¯s hands as he anchored the mutated beast in midair. He needed topletely destroy this mutated beast, turning it into a drop of seadragon blood essence.

    For this drop of blood essence, they had sacrificed too much!

    This time, they couldn¡¯t afford a single mistake!

    At the same time, on the ring-shaped ind, Chen Feng and the group that were preparing to leave were stopped. That ck-clothed man had quietly blocked everyone¡¯s path.

    "Dear children. Don¡¯t be in too much of a hurry to leave." Dragon 2 smiled faintly.

    "D ss." Xu Fei¡¯s expression turned unsightly.

    He had originally thought peak E-ss was enough to be considered an expert in this tiny Gold City. He did not expect that he would encounter so many D-ss warriors in just one exploration alone.

    "What are we scared of?"

    Zhou Ling sneered. "I refuse to believe that, even with so many of us, we still can¡¯t kill him."

    "Hehe."

    Dragon 2 smiled lightly.

    His clothes burst apart as his slim figure suddenly grew, swelling up like a balloon. A gush of terrifying power emerged from his body. The amount of muscles on his body was increasing greatly. Shockingly, barbs started growing on his body as well. Under the sunshine, they gleamed with a sharp aura.

    Two meters...

    Three meters...

    Dragon 2 grewrger, and his body became extremely terrifying.

    "Bang!"

    Xu Fei punched down on him, yet his whole fist became blood red.

    Couldn¡¯t move him!

    "Xiu!"

    The ice crystals shot by Zhou Ling only served to tickle Dragon 2. As for Tie Shi, it was worse. He was good at defending; however, he did not have much attack power.

    Raging mes Storm!

    Xu Fei activated his 2-star secret art!

    However¡ª

    There was no use!

    Xu Fei stared at his bruised fist, his expression turning unsightly.

    This fellow¡¯s body was filled with blood thorns and poison. Even after punching him, he would injure himself instead. This, how to fight? Was a D-ss gic warrior powerful to such an extent? Three peak E-ss warriors joined hands after using all sort of power-boosting gene reagents and they couldn¡¯t even resist him?

    "What damnable gic ability is this?" Chen Feng was equally shocked.

    "This is a 2-star secret art¡ªBlood Devouring Metamorphosis." A somewhat timid voice drifted over. Chen Feng turned his head around; it was actually Su Jin.

    "Blood Devouring Metamorphosis?"

    Chen Feng had some impression of it.

    Blood Devouring Metamorphosis, 2-star secret art. A formidable secret art that was a research result using mutated blowfish as the core!

    Two genes were required for its formation:

    F-ss blowfish gene, supplying the morphing ability and a weak poison ability.

    E-ss mutated bloodwolf gene, supplying a body enhancing ability and self-heal ability.

    Such a secret art was extremely powerful.

    Even more so when facing Xu Fei and the group that was one whole ss lower than him.

    "This is somewhat troublesome."

    Chen Feng looked on.

    Xu Fei and the rest could only resist with great difficulty and were not his opponents at all. At this speed, they would get killed one by one after no more than two minutes!

    Monkey opened his mouth suddenly. "Chen Feng, do you still have that thunderstorm reagent?"

    "Yes." Chen Feng nodded slightly.

    He had prepared a total of three thundersnake gene reagents. There was still one left.

    "Although the mutated blowfish is a very strong beast, it is like a balloon. Its body swells, but within, it is empty. Although the bloodwolf gene has greatly enhanced the body and given it the self-heal ability, bing the Blood Devouring Metamorphosis, the bane of this type of gic ability is still string-shaped attacks."

    Monkey said solemnly, "I will attack himter. You can throw the gene reagent into his body."

    "Sounds feasible."

    Chen Feng thought for a bit. "However, at the very least, a cut that can fit the gene reagent is required."

    "Leave this to me."

    Monkey sneered. "Although I don¡¯t have attack power as strong as them, a mission like piercing a balloon, I am still very good at it."

    Hum¡ª

    Light suddenly radiated out of Monkey¡¯s eyes. An azure-colored radiance covered his pupils as his whole eyes turned a blue color. This was his gic ability.

    However, it onlysted a moment.

    Hua!

    Within one of his eyes, a zing me suddenly appeared. In a sh, it expanded, and his whole eye turned a gold color. A dreadful power converged there.

    2-star secret art!

    Chen Feng was awed. Monkey had a 2-star secret art as well?

    "Bang!"

    The gold color flickered within Monkey¡¯s eye.

    A streak of terrifying gold-colored radiance pierced through Dragon 2, who was still feeling proud of himself, leaving behind a fist sized hole. Somewhat amazed, Dragon 2 looked in Monkey¡¯s direction.

    "2-star secret art Golden Fire Eyes?"

    "Interesting."

    Dragon 2ughed heartily. "It was unexpected that a scout like you had actually fused with abat gene. However, do you think there¡¯s any point in this?"

    Hum¡ª

    On his chest, the hole was slowly closing up.

    The reason for Blood Devouring Metamorphosis ability being a 2-star secret art was due to it making up for blowfish¡¯s weakness of being easy to destroy by possessing a formidable healing ability! As long as it did not exceed his limit, it would be able to self heal without stop, not suffering from any sort of injuries at all!

    The wound was healing rapidly.

    However, at the same time, Xu Fei and the rest started to attack crazily. Dragon 2 knew this was their final struggle, so he intercepted their attacks with all his power. Chen Feng, who had prepared himself, charged forward and pushed the final bottle of thundersnake gene reagent into Dragon 2¡¯s wound.

    "What is this..."

    Dragon 2 was distracted.

    Explode!

    Chen Feng activated it without the slightest hesitation.

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying power immediately exploded within Dragon 2¡¯s body.

    He was very powerful!

    As a D-ss warrior, he possessed a power far surpassing ordinary people. However, with Chen Feng directly causing an explosion within his body, regardless of how powerful he was, he would not be able to survive!

    "Bang!"

    Dragon 2¡¯s enormous body was heavily damaged from the explosion.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Just like a pierced balloon.

    Dragon 2¡¯s body returned to normal. His eyes lose their color. Even in death, that pair of eyes were fixed on Chen Feng, as if unable to believe that he would actually die in the hands of a F-ss warrior.

 Chapter 35: Mastermind

    Chapter 35: Mastermind

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Had it ended?

    Somewhat exhausted, Xu Fei and the rest looked off into the distance.

    There... was another ck-clothed man who was also a D-ss warrior. Currently, he was being engaged by that beast, unable to deal with them.

    "Kill him."

    Xu Fei saw through the crux of the matter with a nce and fiercely said, "Take the opportunity while he is busy dealing with the beast."

    "Understood."

    Zhou Ling and the rest caught up with him. The four-man squad acted once again. Their killer moves appeared immediately and smashed upon Dragon 1. This time, they did not have any confidence. This was totally an act of desperation! However, something unexpected happened. That ck-clothed man did not defend himself at all, receiving all the attacks.

    "Bang!"

    Blood sttered.

    That ck-clothed man was actually pierced through by Xu Fei and others, getting killed on the scene!

    This...

    Everyone widened their eyes.

    How was this possible?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart shuddered.

    Dead?

    Dead just like that?

    The mastermind that was much stronger than the previous guy was dead just like that? He could obviously have easily dodged their attacks!

    This fellow...

    Right at this moment where everyone was bewildered.

    The blood started to boil.

    The corpse of the ck clothed man turned into pool of blood midair and enveloped that D-ss mutated beast. Apanied by a bellow of that beast, it was refined alive! Before everyone could react, the mutated beast had disappeared. In the air, only a drop of glittering blue colored blood essence was left.

    That was the seadragon blood essence!

    "This guy..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupil constricted.

    With the escape of the teacher-in-charge and them surviving, the requirements for seadragon blood essence¡¯s refinement were not met. Hence, this guy used his own blood to fill in the gap.

    What a vicious heart!

    What a terrifying guy!

    Had it ended? How was it possible! The seadragon blood essence that was produced after the sacrifice of such a person, how could it be possible for it to fall into their hands?

    But he was obviously dead. Unless...

    He was not the mastermind at all!

    Chen Feng and the rest exchanged nces as their scalp felt numb. The two D-ss warriors were actually mere foot soldiers? How terrifying was the real mastermind?

    "Ha ha ha."

    "We survived!"

    All the students were in ecstasy.

    Survived!

    This one exploration had put them through countless desperate struggles. That feeling of powerlessness and pain was something they would not forget for their whole lives!

    "Thank you, Chen Feng."

    Countless students were feeling grateful.

    Chen Feng shook his head and did not speak. He only looked at the sea in silence. The happy expression of the students froze. As they saw the unsightly expression of Chen Feng and Xu Fei¡¯s group, they seemed to realize something and started shuddering in fear, could it be...

    That very moment.

    Dong.

    A small sound resounded.

    It was akin to the heartbeat of a primordial god. At the same moment, countless students immediately started vomiting blood.

    Chen Feng paled.

    On the opposite bank, a faint silhouette appeared. Step by step, he reached the coast. Yet he did not stop his steps, continuing calmly onto the seawater.

    His foot stepped on the seawater. However, no ripples was left on the water at all.

    Moving so lightly.

    "It¡¯s him!"

    Xu Fei¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    Long Yue.

    A disciple of an influential family at Rock City!

    This family was a self proimed descendant of dragons. Long Yue was a well known figure of his generation! All the genes he fused were rted to dragons. Regardless of whether they were true dragons or fake dragons, the abilities were terrifying! Thest time he appeared in public, he was already a C-ss gic warrior.

    His current power?

    Unknown!

    Retreat!

    The pupils of Xu Fei and the group constricted. Zhou Ling was even dragging some of them as they frantically moved backward on the seawater, returning to the ring-shaped ind.

    Stopping him?

    What a joke!

    An expert at this level was not someone they could stop.

    "Long Yue, C ss, possibly higher."

    Xu Fei¡¯s face was green while everyone else was greatly frightened after listening to those words. Those students were all ashen-faced. God, why would such a terrifying guye to Gold City?

    On the sea, Long Yue waved his hand and two corpses appeared from the water.

    "Dragon 1 and Dragon 2, it has been hard."

    Long Yue said calmly. He pointed lightly and both corpses turned into ashes.

    "Finally..."

    Long Yue took a nce at the seadragon¡¯s blood essence, and a smile appeared on his face. When he turned around to face Chen Feng and the rest, his gaze was already ice cold. "Since Dragon 1 and Dragon 2 are already dead, you all... can apany them in death."

    "Long Yue, you dare?!" Xu Fei bellowed.

    "These children are all students. You dare to start a war with Gold City¡¯s school?" Xu Fei was clear.

    Now, only the school was able to cause this guy to refrain from shooting at the rat for fear of breaking the vases.

    "Students?"

    Long Yue¡¯s gaze was serene. He looked at the students that were trembling with fear and raised his hand slightly. "It doesn¡¯t matter. I only need to kill everyone, and nobody will know about it."

    "Not good."

    Everyone¡¯s hearts leaped.

    Whoosh!

    Long Yue lightly waved his hand.

    "Bang!"

    The whole sea exploded.

    At this moment, even the sea was overturned.

    "Go!"

    Xu Fei clenched his teeth. The four of them unleashed thest of their remaining strength. However, the attack formed after exhausting all their strength was decimated before it even reached Long Yue¡¯s attack. That¡¯s right, with their ability, they were not even qualified to get near the attack!

    In this split second, the ring-shaped ind copsed.

    The heaven copsed while the earth caved!

    The power of the whole sea was unleashed as it rose, forming a wave with a height of several tens of meters and smashing downward with boundless force, akin to a tsunami!

    "We are finished."

    Everyone was ashen-faced. What damnable strength was this? It was certain that when that terrifying attack fell, everyone would be smashed into meat paste without question!

    This was the power of Long Yue!

    This was the power of a gic expert!

    "Damn it, to actually die this way."

    Xu Fei smiled bitterly.

    "To die in the hands of such an expert isn¡¯t too bad, right?" Zhou Ling mumbled to herself.

    "Time to die?"

    Monkey suddenly remembered something. "Chen Feng, the lifeline you mentioned..."

    At this, everyone looked toward Chen Feng. However, they were astonished to find that, at this moment of life and death, Chen Feng actually smiled. "Our lifeline has appeared."

    What?

    Xu Fei and the rest nked.

    "Bang!"

    That terrifying tsunami was still sweeping toward them.

    Yet, just before the attack hit them, a red silhouette descended from the sky and stood in front of the tsunami.

    Who was this?

    Everyone widened their eyes.

    Before they managed to take a clear look at that person¡¯s appearance, they saw that, in the air, a crimson me appeared the same moment the red silhouettended, and it took on the shape of a huge sword, shing down toward the tsunami.

    "Bang!"

    The seawater thundered.

    As the fiery radiance flickered, an astonishing scene appeared. That terrifying tsunami was forcefully split into two by the sword and streamed past beside them. That tsunami containing the terrifying power of Long Yue was gone just like that. shed into nothingness with one attack!

    So powerful!

    Everyone¡¯s hearts leaped. As they looked on, they were stupefied.

    The person who had saved them was actually a little girl wearing a red dress. She was young, appearing to be 12 or 13 years old. She had red lips, white teeth, and delicate features on her face. Under the long eyshes was a pair of quick-witted big eyes. Yet, at this moment, those eyes were filled with killing intent.

    Everyone¡¯s hearts trembled.

    Only now did they remember that this was the girl that stopped the tsunami with one sh!

    Shit!

    Chen Feng opened his mouth, stunned.

    He had thought that Wang Yue¡¯s protector would be a powerful middle-aged person. He¡¯d never thought that this protector would be a 12- or 13-year-old little girl!

    Furthermore, to possess such terrifying strength!

    Chen Feng subconsciously nced at her and his heart trembled immediately.

    Those eyes...

    This little girl that appeared so young possessed a pair of clear and limpid pupils. They appeared quick-witted, causing one¡¯s heart to palpitate, as if they were capable of seeing through one¡¯s heart!

    This little girl was definitely not a simple person.

 Chapter 36: Dancing on the Tip of a Sword

    Chapter 36: Dancing on the Tip of a Sword

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "It¡¯s you!"

    The expression of Long Yue, who was still showing off his prowess a moment ago, changed greatly when he saw the little girl. He immediately grabbed toward the seadragon blood essence and elerated backward. He actually fled without the slightest hesitation.

    "Thinking of leaving?"

    A cold and crisp sound echoed.

    "Bang!"

    The bright and resplendent sword ray descended once again.

    A sh of red light.

    "Plop!"

    Blood sttered and a severed arm soared. The hand that was grabbing onto the seadragon blood essence released its grip, and the seadragon blood essence fell into the sea together with the severed arm.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone inhaled a breath of cold air.

    "Wang Yao!" a mournful scream resounded.

    Long Yue stared at the little girl in front of him in resentment. "You are courting death! When I return, I will get someone to destroy your Wang family! I am going to let your whole family..."

    "Noisy!"

    Wang Yao sneered. "If that¡¯s the case, you can leave more parts behind."

    "Bang!"

    A sh of red light.

    Another arm soared into the sky.

    "You..."

    That person stared at Wang Yao in resentment and spat out a mouthful of blood before disappearing in a sh of red, losing his courage to leave any fierce words before leaving.

    Everyone watched this scene in a daze.

    This little girl was too spirited!

    Destroying heaven and earth the moment she appeared. The Long Yue that was so unbridled earlier had both his arms shed off and ran off without even daring to leave a fart behind.

    But... who on earth was she?

    Was she here to save them or to kill them?

    After so many bouts of desperation, everyone no longer dared to have any wishful thinking. Luckily, the little girl was currently ignoring them.

    "Seadragon blood essence?"

    "Hum!"

    Red light glimmered in Wang Yao¡¯s hands. Just as she was prepared to start looking for the seadragon blood essence in the seawater, an old and imposing voice resounded, "Little girl. This thing, it¡¯s not something you can take, right?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped.

    This voice...

    Their headmaster!

    "Bang!"

    An old man and a few teachers appeared. As soon as the barrier here had been removed, they had rushed here immediately. They had not expected that, apart from saving these students, there would also be an unexpected harvest.

    Seadragon blood essence, what a precious thing.

    "It¡¯s teacher, headmaster, and the others."

    All the students were crying tears of joy.

    They were saved.

    This time, they were really saved!

    Everyone started cheering. Chen Feng and Xu Fei, on the other hand, felt their heart leaping as they felt something amiss. The school had actually appeared at this time? Regardless of Wang Yao or the school, each party was capable of saving them. However, with both appearing at the same time, especially when there was such a thing like the seadragon blood essence here...

    "Scram!"

    Wang Yao¡¯s tiny face chilled as she opened her mouth and said without a trace of politeness, "A bunch of old men who refuse to die. You are all appearing at this time to fight over this thing with me?"

    "Little girl. This thing was originally something refined by the students of my school."

    Headmaster Zhou Wenwu stated kindly, "It should be you who is fighting over the results of these children, right?"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Those words, even he felt ashamed on behalf of the headmaster. How thick did one¡¯s face need to be in order to say those words? Did he not see how all the students were keeping their silence?

    Su Jin stood out at this moment. "Headmaster, actually, she saved¡ª"

    "You are called Su Jin, right?" The headmaster nodded his head, appearing to be gratified, and interrupted her words. "You did very well this time. You only need to bring all the other students as you stand aside and spectate. This matter is not something you all can get involved in."

    "Ah?"

    Su Jin was bewildered.

    "Hmph."

    Wang Yao sneered. "Even if you want to fight over this thing, it still depends on whether you all are capable of it."

    "Bang!"

    Arge amount of red light emerged and an immense ming sword condensed in her hand.

    The two-meter-long huge sword was inversely proportionedpared to her petite body. However, the zing me on the huge sword caused even Zhou Wenwu to feel pressured.

    This power...

    "Bang!"

    Wang Yao soared to the air as she unleashed a terrifying power.

    "Hmph!"

    Zhou Wenwu sneered and confronted Wang Yao in midair.

    "Bang!"

    In a split second, the whole sky above the sea turned red.

    "Burning cloud?"

    Countless people at Gold City looked in that direction in amazement.

    At this moment, the teachers that came with the headmaster charged into the seawater and started looking for the seadragon blood essence. However, that seadragon blood essence was not an ordinary object. It streaked around without stop in the seawater. Even tens of teachers could not catch it.

    "Damn it!"

    One of the teachers became ruthless and nced at the students on the shore, "You alle down and look for it as well."

    All the students started hesitating.

    No matter what, that Wang Yao was someone who had saved them. To fight over this thing with her...

    The faces of these students were not that thick.

    "The one who finds that thing will be the most outstanding student of the current batch! The school will mark down your contributions in the resumes you send to the universities!" that teacher stated lightly.

    Bang!

    The heart of all the students jolted.

    The top student?

    As far as a student was concerned, this title represented honor and glory. It was something that would follow them forever. During their few years in university, it would bring upon them an extraordinary meaning.

    They were tempted.

    "Teacher, let me help you."

    A student jumped into the seawater.

    The other students exchanged nces and entered the seawater in session.

    Chen Feng smiled yfully.

    Students...

    This was Gold City High School¡¯s education method?

    "All these thankless wretches."

    Xu Fei looked down on these students.

    "They are still young, after all," Chen Feng stated softly.

    Xu Fei and the rest rolled their eyes. ¡®As if you are very old.¡¯

    "Seadragon blood essence ..."

    As Chen Feng looked at those people flopping around in the seawater, he suddenly looked at Monkey. "Monkey, is your ability able to see the seadragon blood essence?"

    "No." Monkey shook his head. "This item itself is the king of the seas. Falling into the seawater, coupled with the faint intelligence it possesses, it is very hard to find. That¡¯s why those teachers are allowing the students to help. Whether one can find it or not is totally dependent on luck. However, with this many people, they will find it sooner orter."

    Dependent on luck?

    Chen Feng shook his hand and looked at the 50 points of luck value he had. Suddenly, his heart was burning.

    "So be it, then."

    Chen Feng shook his head and stretchedzily. "I still thought that you could sell them a favor with this."

    "How could a favor be so easy to sell?" Xu Feiughed.

    Since there was no danger, the few of them could only wait there. Those teachers would probably not let them go before the result was out anyway.

    "This water doesn¡¯t seem to be active anymore."

    Chen Feng reached the edge of the water without a change of expression and silently submerged a reagent bottle into the water. At the same time, his Luck Aura was activated!

    Whoosh!

    The luck value was frantically being exhausted!

    Ten points!

    Twenty points!

    Thirty points!

    Forty points!

    Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s hand trembled. He could keenly feel something knocking against his reagent bottle.

    Could it be...

    Chen Feng¡¯s mouth was dry. Outwardly, he did not dare to leak any of his emotions. Silently, he sealed the reagent bottle, hid the bottle in his cuff, and calmly stood up.

    "Yeah."

    Xu Fei looked at the seawater. "From today onward, I¡¯m afraid there won¡¯t be any Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain anymore. As the source has disappeared, the water here will gradually dry up."

    Everyone else felt the same.

    Who would have thought that they would encounter such an incident in this single exploration of theirs?

    "Let¡¯s go to the shore." Chen Feng shook his head. "It still feels dangerous here."

    "Mhm."

    Zhou Ling nodded her head.

    Ice appeared. Everyone reached the shore and stopped there to wait.

    All this while, Chen Feng had had Luck Aura activated!

    He was afraid that even the tiniest bit of abnormality around him would be noticed. To y a trick in front of so many powerful gic warriors was akin to dancing on the tip of a knife.

    One point!

    Two points!

    The luck value was still being exhausted.

    Chen Feng leaned against a big tree and sat down to rest. Soundlessly, he hid the reagent bottle earlier into the shrub behind him and buried it with the sand.

    Up until now, a total of 48 points of luck value were exhausted!

    "Done!"

    Chen Feng was inwardly excited as he finally felt relieved.

    Chapter 37: Three Years Start

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Do you see? This... is the power of a school."

    Xu Fei smiled toward Chen Feng. "And this is only a high school. At a university, it is even scarier. All those senior students, counselors, teachers, professors¡ªas long as you touch one of them, a whole group of them will appear. Although their internalpetition is intense, they are still united against outsiders."

    "What does that have to do with me?" Chen Feng stretchedzily.

    "Don¡¯t you regret failing the entrance examinations?" Xu Fei smiled faintly.

    "What if I didn¡¯t fail? Bing the same type of people as them?"

    Chen Feng pointed toward the students in the sea.

    Xu Fei and the rest deeply agreed. ¡®True, it is important to increase one¡¯s strength. However, the Gold City High School evidently neglected the most important point¡ªmoral character! Based on the students¡¯ dispositions, when they graduate in the future and enter the society, even if they are strong, they will still be toyed with to death by others.¡¯

    "That female student is not bad!" Zhou Ling suddenly winked at Chen Feng. Chen Feng followed her gaze and, with astonishment, saw that it was Su Jin, the only student that had not entered the sea to search for the reagent.

    Xu Fei wrapped his arms around Chen Feng¡¯s shoulder and obscenely said, "Not having a chance to enter a university, it wouldn¡¯t be too bad to ¡®enter¡¯ a university student."

    "Scram!" Chen Feng said resolutely in contempt.

    After a few near death crises, everyone was now closer to each other. However, this also helped Chen Feng clearly see the nature of this person. He was a wretched pervert through and through. No wonder Zhou Ling would always stand up to him every now and then.

    As for Su Jin...

    Chen Feng had never really thought about it.

    This type ofdy was somewhat uneptable for him.

    As they were talking among each other, suddenly, the burning cloud in the skies jolted and scattered. Two silhouettes emerged from it¡ªWang Yao and Zhou Wenwu.

    "It ended?"

    Everyone looked toward both of them and was immediately stunned.

    It could be distinctly seen that the big sword in Wang Yao¡¯s hands was partly broken. It appeared to have been forcefully broken by someone. Her tiny face was deathly pale from anger as she stared at Zhou Wenwu in front of her. However, Zhou Wenwu¡¯s condition seemed even worse than hers. Although there were no wounds on him, half of his beard had been burnt away.

    "Little girl, if we continue fighting, I¡¯m afraid there will be some other people arriving." Zhou Wenwu smiled bitterly.

    "Hmph." Wang Yao sneered. "I will kill however manye!"

    "Is this proper?"

    Zhou Wenwu smiled bitterly. "Your family¡¯s Old Wang and I can be considered acquaintances. Why don¡¯t we find the seadragon blood essence first before we go back and slowly discuss the matter of distribution?"

    "Fine."

    Wang Yao pondered and put her sword away.

    Zhou Wenwu shook his head as he smiled bitterly. The young generations nowadays were getting more terrifying.

    "Have you found it yet?" Zhou Wenwu looked toward the teachers.

    "No."

    Everyone was ashamed.

    "No?"

    Zhou Wenwu frowned. "Increase your speed. Try to get it before others arrive..."

    "There¡¯s no need to be so troublesome." Wang Yao sneered.

    "Bang!"

    Endless me started to emerge.

    The broken sword in Wang Yao¡¯s hand was stabbed into the seawater.

    "Whooosh¡ª"

    A powerful force started shaking the sea and the seawater started boiling. Under the terrifying high temperature, it became vapor. The water level of the whole sea was declining at a frightening high speed.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone else inhaled a breath of cold air.

    This little girl was actually nning to evaporate the whole sea!

    "Damn."

    Xu Fei opened his mouth wide, not closing it even after a long time.

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed slightly as well. However, his change was not due to being shocked by Wang Yao¡¯s strength. It was due to him suddenly thinking, if she found out that the item had been hidden by him...

    The corner of Chen Feng¡¯s mouth twitched.

    Those students that had helped the teachers to search for the seadragon blood essence were dripping wet with cold sweat. They were all terrified that Wang Yao would find them not pleasing to the eyes and evaporate them as well.

    Thus, under everyone¡¯s watch, Wang Yao forcefully evaporated the whole sea!

    That ce became a piece of barrennd!

    However...

    There was nothing inside!

    "Where¡¯s the seadragon blood essence?"

    Wang Yao¡¯s killing intent was bubbling up.

    All the seawater disappeared, yet the seadragon blood essence had disappeared as well.

    "Mhm?"

    Zhou Wenwu¡¯s heart leaped as well and he coldly said, "Whoever found the seadragon blood essence, you better hand it over. There are some things that the likes of you can¡¯ty your hands on."

    "We really didn¡¯t."

    Everyone smiled bitterly.

    "Hmph!"

    Zhou Wenwu sneered.

    Although he did not possess a tyrannical power like what Wang Yao had, his foundations were much thicker than Wang Yao¡¯s. His frightening spiritual power started sweeping through everyone¡¯s body.

    However, nothing was found.

    Wang Yao also started to search them one by one, yet the seadragon blood essence was still nowhere to be found!

    "Old man, you actually dare to y tricks on me."

    Wang Yao pointed at Zhou Wenwu, certain that it was this old man that had let those teachers secretly move it away after finding it.

    "It really isn¡¯t me."

    Zhou Wenwu¡¯s face was ashen. "Not one person left this ce just now. There¡¯s also nothing with a teleportation ability here. If there was, you would have most certainly sensed it."

    "Hmph."

    Wang Yao snorted coldly.

    The seadragon blood essence disappeared just like that under the eyes of two powerful gic warriors.

    Everyone was searched, including Chen Feng¡¯s group that had not entered the sea, however, the seadragon blood essence was still nowhere to be found.

    "Would it be rted to those fellows?"

    Zhou Wenwu suddenly thought of something. "Since they are the one who arranged all this, they might have some hidden methods. When you severed that guy¡¯s arm earlier, if they utilized some method to fuse some blood into the seadragon blood essence and controlled it in the dark, it really might have disappeared from here."

    "Damn it."

    Wang Yao pondered. There really was such a possibility.

    "Seems like we need to go get an exnation from them."

    Zhou Wenwu sneered. "To harm so many of my students. If they don¡¯t pay any price, they will not know how precious my Gold City High School¡¯s students are."

    Wang Yao looked at him coldly.

    Neither of them trusted each other. However, under such circumstances, there was no other choice.

    After a long time, everyone was finally allowed to leave after another round of inspection.

    "Found?" Wang Yao looked at Wang Yue.

    "No," Wang Yue said obediently.

    "Trash," Wang Yao said without a trace of politeness.

    Wang Yue lowered his head, not even daring to speak back.

    Everyone started leaving in session. As Chen Feng and Xu Fei¡¯s group were about to leave, Wang Yao suddenly opened her mouth. "Chen Feng. Come over."

    Chen Feng¡¯s body froze as he had a bad feeling inside. Had he been found out?

    Xu Fei and his group looked at Chen Feng in amazement. As they recalled how Chen Feng said he had the confidence to survive this, they were immediately shocked. Chen Feng actually knew this little girl!

    This expert with terrifying strength!

    "Go."

    Xu Fei patted Chen Feng¡¯s shoulders.

    Chen Feng smiled unnaturally, his body somewhat stiff.

    "What¡¯s the matter?"

    Xu Fei saw Chen Feng¡¯s unnatural reaction and said in amazement, "Both of you won¡¯t really have some rtionship, right?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression became even more unnatural.

    Him snatching the seadragon blood essence, it was not something as simple as them having a rtionship; they were totally enemies with great enmity.

    "Shit, there really is a rtionship?"

    Xu Fei¡¯s original expression of ridicule became solemn suddenly and he looked at Chen Feng seriously. "Brother, let me tell you. Although this person is very strong, however, her age is very young. Don¡¯t me me for not reminding you as a brother, at most, you should start with a three years gap..."

    "Scram!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s face darkened.

    However, before Chen Feng made his move, a sharp gaze swept through, and as Xu Fei¡¯s expression changed greatly, a fireball suddenly descended from the sky.

    "Hu¡ª"

    As the me flickered, the handsome hairstyle of Xu Fei was burned clean.

    "My hair..." Xu Fei had a stupefied expression on his face.

    As he rubbed his head, a pile of ashes dropped down.

    "Who told you to keep bbering on."

    Zhou Ling and the rest held theirughter and forcefully dragged the stunned Xu Fei away.

    "..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s mouth twitched as he moved carefully to Wang Yao.

    "Say it." Wang Yao kicked Wang Yue.

    "Th¡ªthank you."

    Wang Yue stared at Chen Feng as he squeezed those words out through his gnashing teeth.

    "There¡¯s no need."

    Chen Feng was immediately relieved.

    "The debt was settled," Wang Yao stated faintly.

    "Understood." Chen Feng smiled bitterly.

    This fellow did not give him any face at all.

    Her mindset was simple. In other words, he had saved Wang Yue once, and subsequently she had saved Chen Feng once, so their debt was considered to be settled. Nobody owed the other anything.

    Chen Feng smiled. As he prepared to leave, Wang Yao suddenly opened her mouth.

    "Is the seadragon blood essence on you?"

    Whoosh!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped, almost choking himself.

    "How is that possible?" Chen Feng said in a dull voice, "I didn¡¯t even enter the sea."

    "True."

    Wang Yao recalled and stopped questioning him.

    "Goodbye it is, then."

    Chen Feng nodded his head in greeting before leaving calmly. Nobody knew that as he left the ce, his whole body was filled with cold sweat, drenching all the clothes on him. The eyes of this little girl were capable of causing one¡¯s heart to palpitate. Chen Feng even thought that he had been found out!

    "Why did you force me to thank him?" Wang Yue said fiercely, "He must have found out that you were here. That¡¯s why he saved me. It should be him thanking us instead!"

    "Hmph."

    Wang Yao red at him. "If not for him fighting at the frontlines, the seadragon blood essence and the mastermind would not have appeared. However, the disappearance of the seadragon blood essence..."

    As she saw that Wang Yue was still ring at Chen Feng, she softly said, "In the future, don¡¯t provoke him."

    "A mere beginner producer, do I need to be afraid of him?" Wang Yue could not ept it.

    Wang Yao shook her head. "This Chen Feng is not so simple."

    "Apart from having good luck, what else could he have?" Wang Yue sneered. "I won¡¯t stupidly go and provoke him now. But in the future, when I have improved myself, he will be nothing but a wild dog under my legs."

    Wang Yao¡¯s tiny face was solemn as she no longer opened her mouth.

    Chen Feng...

    Looking at that slowly disappearing silhouette, she sank into contemtion.

 Chapter 38: Five-Star Formula!

    Chapter 38: Five-Star Form!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Returning home, Chen Feng was only truly relieved the moment he entered his rented house.

    Finally safe!

    He had never expected that an ordinary mission would escte into such a situation. Barely escaping death, he almost wasn¡¯t able to return anymore. Long Yue, the headmaster, Wang Yao, all of them possessed strength far surpassing Chen Feng¡¯s. Every single step he took was full of crises. A single mistake would have cost him his life!

    "It was still due to my strength being too weak."

    Chen Feng grasped his fist.

    ¡®Be strong! I need to be strong! In this age, only by bing an expert will I be able to stand proud!¡¯

    However, the higher the risk, the higher the return. Chen Feng had profited greatly from this trip. First, what excited him the most was the fact that the seadragon blood essence was finally in his hands. Able to cause even that old headmaster to fight over it without a sense of shame, it could be seen how valuable this thing was. He only needed to wait for this incident to calm down first before secretly retrieving the seadragon blood essence. That would be his biggest harvest!

    Second, his gene search capability had greatly increased.

    Due to him continuously staying in the digitized mode, removing high-difficulty restrictions and the endless amount of spiritual energy recovery reagents, Chen Feng¡¯s current gene search speed was a few times faster than his previous speed. This increase would prove to be a great assistance to Chen Feng in his gene production.

    Lastly, Chen Feng¡¯s main target for this mission¡ªthe 5-star form.

    After the mission, this 5-star form finally fell into Chen Feng¡¯s hands. Although he had yet to take a look at it, he trusted Xu Fei not to scam him.

    "Let¡¯s take a look at this 5-star form."

    Chen Feng yed with the chip in his hand.

    That¡¯s right, the information of a 5-star form would normally bepressed within a chip. This was also the regr storage medium used in transactions.

    "Ka."

    Chen Feng inserted the chip into his wristband.

    "Whoosh!"

    A frightening amount of information rushed madly into the wristband. After a long time, the 5-star form¡¯s information appeared in his personal storage. The chip, on the other hand, produced a crisp sound before burning itself.

    ----

    Gold Ant Gene Form

    Difficulty level: 5 stars

    Type: Special

    Function: Permanent increase of spirit by 10¨C20 points

    Limitation: F-ss gic warrior, only able to use once

    Introduction: With savage desert ant¡¯s blood essence as the core, forms a special gene reagent by refining the blood essence with all sorts of valuable materials.

    ----

    5 stars! It was really 5 stars!

    Chen Feng¡¯s lips and tongue felt dry.

    The day spent dancing in the cradle of death was not wasted. With this form and the form gifted by the Gic Production Association, Chen Feng¡¯s original goal of 20-star rating, which had seemed so far away, was suddenly half reached!

    As long as he mastered these 2 forms, he would be rated 10 stars.

    Chen Feng was inwardly excited.

    There¡¯s also a major point that should not be ignored, which was the function of this form!

    "20 points of spiritual energy..."

    Chen Feng finally knew why that Wang Yue¡¯s spiritual energy had rapidly increased immediately after graduation, to the point of surpassing him. He must have used a simr gene reagent. These rich children of influential families walked apletely different path than others!

    However, Chen Feng was not unduly humbled.

    Since these rich children all improved themselves this way, this item must be quite expensive?

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shined brightly.

    As he searched for information on the gold ant gene, he found that the cost of the materials were 150,000 yuan, while the average transaction price was 200,000 yuan.

    "This price..."

    Chen Feng felt powerless to even criticize it.

    What a scam.

    Huge scam.

    For a normal gene producer, this was akin to a heavenly scam!

    Even though Chen Feng¡¯s production level had increased, he still felt that this 5-star form was a heavenly scam. If one were to rush their level to intermediate-level producer with this kind of 5-star form, he would suffer great losses! High cost, high difficulty level, yet such low profit? It was not even enough to cover the costs of materials for the failed productions.

    However, for Chen Feng, this was the most suitable form instead! Due to the existence of the Luck Aura, he walked a path that was totally illogical for a normal person!

    Making a loss? It was nonexistent!

    Chen Feng searched but noted that the amount of avable gold ant forms in the business district was low.

    There was no choice. The production difficulty was too high. Those able to produce these kinds of forms were mostly intermediate producers or even higher-level producers. When these people produced a gold ant form, they were probably researching itsposition. Making money? They only needed to sell some high-level genes.

    This was Chen Feng¡¯s opportunity!

    No marketing required, no discount required, as long as he put it up for sale, it would definitely sell!

    ¡®Then... let¡¯s produce one to start with.¡¯

    Chen Feng was filled with fighting spirit.

    However, right as he started his research, Chen Feng found a grave problem. The core material required for production of gold ant gene, the blood essence of savage desert ant, was not sold at the stores at the virtualmunity!

    "Could this be an extinct mutated beast?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped.

    As he hastily researched, he finally found where the problemy.

    Not all blood essence was able to be preserved. There was some blood essence that would lose its gic energy in a short time after leaving the mutated beast¡¯s body. This was especially true for spirit type beasts. The blood essence of the savage desert ant was one of them, only having a shelf life of 3 days!

    Wanting to get his hands on this type of blood essence, there were only 2 options. Hunt the beasts personally or hire someone to hunt them.

    "This is somewhat troublesome."

    Chen Feng frowned. He did not want to waste too much time on gathering materials.

    As he recalled that the savage desert ant was not a particrly formidable species of mutated beast, Chen Feng contacted Xu Fei directly, wanting to know if they had any free time. However, unexpectedly, Chen Feng kept getting a busy signal from Xu Fei. He did not know what they were busy with.

    "Seems like I have to handle this myself."

    Chen Feng shook his head.

    He started going through the information on the savage desert ant.

    This was a type of E-ss mutated beast, originating from the ck Cloud Continent, one of the mutations of giant termite. Possessing powerful spiritual energy, it was very dangerous.

    "ck Cloud Continent, eh?"

    Chen Feng pondered.

    He did not want to waste too much time on this. Before increasing his strength, Chen Feng was very clear on his position¡ªa beginner producer! He would normally not get involved in anything involvingbat. At least on the surface, this was the appearance he maintained. However, if it was only gathering blood essence...

    "It¡¯s not like there¡¯s no way."

    Chen Feng made his decision quickly.

    However, he did not go out the same day. In order to get the seadragon blood essence, he almost exhausted all of his luck value! Now he needed to wait for the luck value to recover to a certain extent before he dared to leave his house. There was no choice; he was too weak. Before bing a true expert, he had to remain cautious.

    Outside of his expectations, on that night, he was contacted by the Gene Production Association.

    "Good day, Mr. Chen."

    In front of him was the voice of a gentle-sounding woman. "I am a staff member of the Gene Production Association. Recently, we detected some outsiders trying to gather information about you. Our guess is that, in the near future, there will be someone acting unfavorably against you. Please take note," the staff member said softly.

    "Thanks."

    Chen Feng expressed his gratitude. However, his first reaction was thinking that this was a scam call before subsequently recalling that there were not many people with the guts to impersonate the Gene Production Association when performing a scam call. At that, he frowned and calmly asked, "Do all the producers get the same treatment from the association?"

    "No."

    The staff member answered straightforwardly, "The association ces different levels of attention on different producers. Although you are not at this level yet, senior Zhang Wei requested we pay more attention on you."

    So this was the case.

    Chen Fengughed involuntarily. ¡®Zhang Wei, eh? Seems like I need to thank him in the future. However, who was it that wanted to investigate me? Wang Yue? Wang Yao? Improbable.¡¯

    Chen Feng shook his head. They knew his circumstances very well, so there was no need for them to investigate him. He racked his brains yet still failed to recall whose attention he had caught recently.

    "Who could it be?" Chen Feng muttered silently.

    Contrary to what one might expect, Chen Feng wasn¡¯t scared of anyone acting against him. In this world, what he feared the least was assassination. With Luck Aura, the threat an assassination posed to him was instead the lowest. What he was afraid of was meeting those with powerful strength and strong background like Long Yue. That was what he would consider a true impasse!

    "Long Yue..."

    Chen Feng suddenly recalled something.

    The reason the opponent investigated him might not only be to assassinate him. How about other reasons, such as the seadragon blood essence incident?

    This was what he was most afraid of.

    "Seems like I need to watch my back for now."

    Chen Feng was in a solemn mood. Although the seadragon blood essence had been buried, if he wanted to get his hands on it, he still needed to wait for some time. During this period of time, he must not be discovered, or else...

    Only death awaited him!

    Late at night, Chen Feng was looking at the glittering lights of the city as he contemted. "Seems like some changes are required for the n tomorrow."

 Chapter 39: A Day Full of Surprises

    Chapter 39: A Day Full of Surprises

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Gold City. Under the shadows of the lights of the flourishing city, at a certain dimly lit corner, three silhouettes were huddled together, carefully discussing something.

    "Number 2, how goes the investigation?"

    "The target is recently researching the ck Cloud Continent and savage desert ants. After looking into it, I found that this beast¡¯s blood essence can¡¯t be preserved for a long period of time. If the target really wants this thing, he needs to make a trip to ck Cloud Continent. We can follow after him and get rid of him in the dark!"

    "Is the information urate?"

    "urate! I spent a huge sum to get a hacker to verify the information. Both Production Association and Chen Feng¡¯s side have been checked. There¡¯s no mistake!"

    "That¡¯s good, then. Number 3, get ready."

    "Mhm."

    The voices gradually stopped as the three silhouettes submerged into the darkness of night.

    Early morning the next day, the three brothers reached ck Cloud Continent.

    Riding on the fastest Ironcloud, they only spent one hour to reach ck Cloud Continent and entered one of the camps in the vicinity of the ce where savage desert antsmonly appeared.

    In order to help the explorers betterplete their missions, the Gic Union had set up camps near cities and also at the furthest reachable regions. In the camps, personal fights were banned. Everything in the camps was monitored. There were even specially builtbat robots guarding the camps, making the camps the best rest stop for explorers.

    The three of them reached the camp under the scorching sun.

    The sun shined upon the whole camp. Under the reflection ofyers of ss, it gave off a bizarre sense of beauty. However, the majority of the people here did not have the time to appreciate the beauty.

    "Is Chen Feng here yet?"

    The boss asked.

    "Mhm, he has gotten on the Ironcloud and will arrive in roughly one hour," said Number 2 as he looked at the information received on his wristband.

    "Very good."

    Satisfied, the boss said, "Our n is very simple. His target is to hunt savage desert ants. We only need to pretend to be passersby. When he is hunting the savage desert ants, we will make our move secretly. This way, we can definitely get rid of him easily."

    "He might hire others as well."

    Number 3 said in a low voice, "Chen Feng is only a producer. If he wants to hunt savage desert ants, he will definitely hire two E-ss warriors."

    "That is expected."

    Boss nodded slightly. "Regardless of if it¡¯s two or three, the enemy is out there in the open while we are hidden in the dark. This is our advantage! Our target is only Chen Feng. We can ignore others and escape the moment we kill him. Don¡¯t forget, we also have that thing..."

    Number 2 and 3 couldn¡¯t help but to nod.

    ¡®True! With that thing, even if he hired a few E-ss warriors, he still needs to die!¡¯

    One hourter, Chen Feng was preparing for his arrival at ck Cloud Continent.

    "He will be here soon."

    Number 2 said in a low voice.

    "Let¡¯s go," Boss ordered decisively. "It will be too obvious for us to tail him. We need to reach there first."

    "Mhm."

    The three of them reached the area where savage desert antsmonly appeared in advance.

    They were waiting for something.

    Sure enough.

    After less than half an hour, people started appearing at the normally deserted savage desert ant territory. In order to not appear suspicious, the three of them found a savage desert ant and proceeded to kill it. However, what exceeded their expectations was that the savage desert ant hunting team did not have Chen Feng in it.

    "Are you sure?"

    "Yes. That group of three does not have Chen Feng in it!"

    "How could this be..."

    Boss felt somewhat doubtful. "Is it just a normal team that is coincidentally here to hunt savage desert ants as well?"

    Soon, other silhouettes started appearing in the distance.

    "Someone is here!"

    Boss felt invigorated. "This time, it should be Chen Feng."

    Hence, they hunted down another savage desert ant to disguise themselves. However, as those people neared, they somewhat nked as they noticed that the people that came were not Chen Feng either!

    Chen Feng was still nowhere to be seen!

    Savage desert ants were not that easy to kill. Only after a long time did they manage to tire the ant to death. After that, the other hunting team started leaving gradually.

    "What happened?"

    The three of them were wondering why Chen Feng was not there yet.

    "Do you think that Chen Feng had noticed us?"

    Number 3 thought a bit. "Is it possible that he deliberately got these people toe here and confuse us?"

    "That might be the case!"

    Boss shivered.

    "Wait!"

    "Chen Feng is definitely hidden within one of the teams!"

    "He deliberately let other teamse and create chaos in order to confuse us. Subsequently, he will hide himself among one of the teams and make his move for real."

    "He will definitely appear!"

    Boss was sure.

    However, the next few hours, they started seeing peopleing in session to hunt savage desert ants. Yet Chen Feng was still nowhere to be seen!

    One time!

    Two times!

    ...

    The whole morning passed just like that, yet they didn¡¯t even catch a glimpse of Chen Feng. If it wasn¡¯t for Number 2 being sure that Chen Feng was still in ck Cloud Continent, they would probably have thought that Chen Feng had left.

    "Something is wrong."

    Number 3 had an unsightly expression.

    "Do I need you to tell me this?"

    Boss sneered. After thinking for a long time, he pped his thigh. "Let¡¯s go to the camp and see what the situation is."

    "Alright."

    The three of them returned to the camp.

    However, somewhat exceeding their expectations, a long line had formed in the camp. A lot of people were surrounding that spot, causing others to be unable to see what was happening inside.

    "Number 3, go take a look," Boss signaled with his eyes.

    "Understood."

    With a resolute expression, Number 3 rushed into the crowd. 10 minutester, he squeezed out of the crowd with a stupefied expression on his face and a big pile of cash in his embrace.

    "What¡¯s the situation?"

    Boss asked hastily, "Someone is giving out money?"

    "N¡ªno."

    Number 3 had a disbelieving expression on his face. "You go take a look and you will know."

    "Trash!"

    Boss red at him. "Number 2, you go take a look."

    "Alright."

    Number 2 looked at Number 3 in contempt and, as Number 3 had done earlier, he squeezed into the crowd, full of fighting spirit. He squeezed out 10 minutester as well, looking somewhat wretched.

    And on his face was the same stupefied expression! And in his embrace was also a pile of cash!

    "Number 2?" Boss asked.

    "Ah?"

    Number 2 had the same expression of disbelief on his face, to the point where he was almost crying. "I... I can¡¯t exin it clearly. Boss, you will know after going over to take a look."

    "Hmph!"

    Boss sneered. "Let me see what trick they are ying!"

    "Scram!"

    Boss squeezed overbearingly into the crowd.

    The people around looked at him and frowned. However, after thinking about it, even if he entered, he might not be selected anyway. Hence, they did not say anything and allowed Boss to squeeze into the center of the crowd.

    Next, Boss saw a person who shocked him to his core¡ªChen Feng!

    That¡¯s right, the one surrounded by the crowd was actually Chen Feng!

    "What¡¯s the situation?"

    Boss¡¯s heart leaped as he felt something was amiss.

    At this time, Chen Feng seemed to have noticed him and waved his hand. "You. Yes, you."

    Sighing voices started echoing around him.

    The boss walked in front of Chen Feng without a change in his expression as he readied the dagger in his hands. However, as he saw thebat robot in the distant that had locked onto him, he quietly gave up his n.

    Here, it was impossible to kill Chen Feng.

    "Take your savage desert ant¡¯s blood essence out," Chen Feng said indifferently.

    "Mhm?"

    Boss¡¯s heart leaped. How did this fellow knew about the savage desert ant¡¯s blood essence on him? Had those bastards, Number 2 and Number 3, betrayed him? As he was about to say something, he noticed that the people nearby had surrounded him with gazes filled with killing intent, causing Boss to hastily hand over the blood essence he had obtained earlier.

    "Mhm, the purity is not bad."

    Chen Feng took a look and offered his price.

    "Nuo, your money."

    Chen Feng grabbed a pile of cash and threw it to boss and yelled to the crowd, "Next! Let me say again. Only epting those with the best purity. Buying with high price! Those with bad purity need note."

    "Mine is good!"

    "Mine is better, newly acquired, definitely meets your standards."

    Countless people startedpeting.

    Just like this, with a pile of cash in his embrace, and a stupefied expression on his face, the boss was squeezed out of the crowd. Only when he was finally squeezed out of the crowd did his mind register what had happened!

    Chen Feng was actually buying savage desert ant¡¯s blood essence here!

    He never nned to go out!

    Assassinate?

    The opponent never thought of giving you a chance at all!

    The mostmentable fact was that the blood essence they had gotten from their hunt since early morning was sold just like this to Chen Feng. The genes hunted by them were actually those with the best purity! All of them were selected by Chen Feng?! So after being busy for the whole morning, they were actually working for Chen Feng?

    As this crossed his mind, boss was totally stupefied.

    At this moment, he finally knew why Number 2 and 3 had this expression on their faces.

    "What should we do?"

    Boss was bewildered.

    "Perhaps Chen Feng will stille out?" they guessed.

    However, one day passed just like this.

    As it was gettingte, Chen Feng got on Ironcloud and returned to Gold City. The three of them followed Chen Feng back with a puzzled expression.

    Disguise?

    Was there still a need for that?

    Even if they returned to Gold City, they would not be able to get any chances!

    That night, at the same corner, the three silhouettes were seated on the ground with stupefied expressions on their face, asking why things had turned out like this.

    They performed a lot of missions before, and their targets were also the likes of beginner producers and F-ss gic warriors. However, someone as terrifying as Chen Feng...

    It was unprecedented!

    From the start till the end, the opponent was always in a safe zone!

    What could you do in that situation?

    "He won¡¯t stay at supervised areas forever, right?"

    Number 2 was full of despair.

    "Who knows," Number 3 muttered.

    "Let it be. Let¡¯s look for other opportunities."

    Boss clenched his teeth. "There¡¯s still some time left before the mission¡¯s deadline. Don¡¯t be anxious and give up first, in case he really does leave the safe zones."

    In case...

    A sigh could be heard.

    The three silhouettes disappeared into the dark of night.

 Chapter 40: The Strongest Gene!

    Chapter 40: The Strongest Gene!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Currently, within a rented house at Gold City, Chen Feng was feeling very satisfied as he looked at the materials he had gathered. 30 sets of savage desert ant¡¯s blood essence that contained the best genes, which he had personally picked. This was how he had collected the savage desert ant¡¯s blood essence. Bringing along a huge pile of cash to purchase would always appear more attractivepared to purchasing with fund transfers!

    "And I still need to thank those three idiots."

    Chen Feng smiled calmly.

    Since he had received news about it beforehand, how could he miss the three of them? They had put so much effort into it. Unfortunately, they had chosen the wrong opponent.

    "A single gold ant gene reagent requires 10 sets of savage desert ant¡¯s blood essence."

    Chen Feng calcted and noted that all the money he had saved recently was only sufficient for him to produce three sets of the reagent.

    "The cost is somewhat high."

    Chen Feng head was aching somewhat.

    However, he had no other options. This was something he had to do.

    A gene producer was originally a profession where one invested greatly during the early stages before reaping huge profits in thete stages! As such, an outstanding gene producer was iparably valuable.

    "Let¡¯s produce one first."

    Chen Feng made up his mind.

    Putting his thought into action immediately, he started researching all the information rted to the gold ant gene and spent two whole days before he manage to grasp all the information and collect all the required materials. This was especially true for the incubator liquid required during the third step, the gene fusion step. A countless number of valuable materials needed to be allocated for this, and there was no space for mishaps.

    It was very hard to produce a gold ant gene.

    Although Chen Feng¡¯s gene production level had increased greatly, if he were to forcefully produce this kind of 5-star form, the sess rate would be a pathetic 1%!

    Luckily, he possessed the Luck Aura.

    "I can start now."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    Start!

    Whoosh!

    Lights swirled as Chen Feng entered the digitized mode.

    Simr to the thundersnake gene, the gold ant gene¡¯s production was very hard as well. No less than 300 strains of genes needed to be collected during the gene search step. Even with the Luck Aura activated, Chen Feng almost failed!

    The gene search process of an F-ss form alone had already in itself matched the difficulty of the restriction Xu Fei brought during the interview?

    Worthy of being a 5-star form indeed!

    Luckily, after the exploration trip with Xu Fei, Chen Feng¡¯s gene search ability had improved greatly. He managed to forcefullyplete the gene search process in the end.

    When producing a normal gene, Chen Feng was not worried at all during the first and second steps. He only needed to consume one point of luck value for the gene fusion step and the reagent would be easilypleted. However, when producing these high-difficulty genes, even during the initial two steps, Chen Feng did not dare to rx the slightest bit.

    First step, gene search,pletion!

    Luck value exhausted by one point.

    Second step, gene reaction,pletion!

    Luck value exhausted by one point.

    The catalyzed reaction for the 300 strains of genes gave Chen Feng a headache. Luckily, Chen Feng had improved rapidly nowadays. As such, he managed toplete all the reactions without any mishaps.

    Third step, gene fusion,pletion!

    Luck value exhausted by one point.

    The crux for producing special genes was the preparation of the incubator liquid. The moment the lone gene started to duplicate itself in the incubator liquid was the moment the gold ant gene¡¯s productionpleted!

    ----

    Gene name: Gold Ant Gene

    Gene type: Special

    Gene function: Triggering the potential in one¡¯s body, permanently increase one¡¯s spiritual energy by 20 points

    Gene introduction: With savage desert ant¡¯s blood essence as the core, forming a special gene reagent by refining the blood essence with all sorts of valuable materials.

    ----

    Sess!

    Chen Feng was excited. This was the first 5-star difficulty reagent he had produced. A peak attribute gold ant gene reagent! As long as he could sell more of them, reaching a 20-star rating wouldn¡¯t be a problem. However, Chen Feng quickly calmed down from his excitement.

    This was a peak attribute gene reagent, yet there was still no mutation.

    "Still no mutation?"

    Chen Feng was made aware of an issue.

    Thundersnake gene had no mutation! Gold ant gene had no mutation either! Was it due to the mutation being too hard to achieve, or was it due to these forms with high star ratings not having a mutation at all?

    Chen Feng was somewhat anxious.

    His advantage that enabled him to far exceed others was his ability to uncover the unknown potential of genes, regardless of the probability.

    Hence¡ª

    He was always looking forward to the arrival of his second mutated gene.

    However, it had not appeared!

    The thundersnake gene and gold ant gene did not even have a normal mutation. Hence, there was no need to mention the concealed genes with an unknown probability. It did not exist at all!

    Mutated genes were, after all, the minority among so many genes.

    "Is there really no mutation?"

    Chen Feng searched about it online and was immensely disappointed.

    Perhaps it was really a coincidence for him to be the first person to discover the mutated lumberbear gene. From now on, he would be the same as ordinary producers?

    For some reason, Chen Feng could not be satisfied with this.

    After enjoying the benefits fame brought, however small that fame it was...

    Chen Feng was somewhat dissatisfied.

    "Am I like Professor Tao now?"

    Chen Fengughed involuntarily. Soon, he recalled something.

    How was a gene form found?

    It was something found through countless attempts of the previous generations, a result of non-stop experiments, something that was sessfully created after the research and improvement of countless people! Since a form was a research result in itself, did it mean that there might be some fault in the research itself?

    For example, mutated lumberbear gene!

    Perhaps...

    There was a problem in the form itself?

    Chen Feng¡¯s lips and tongue felt dry.

    As a newbie producer, he was questioning the predecessors!

    It was not due to the predecessors being incapable. Rather, it was because, if there were certain aspects with an extremely low appearance probability, their form might not be able to discover that thing as well?

    ¡®If that¡¯s the case, does that mean I can improve the forms?¡¯

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were burning.

    This was the first time he felt the madness within him.

    "Let¡¯s try."

    Chen Feng followed the wishes of his burning heart.

    Since the thought surfaced, he had to try. However, how should he get started?

    "Form..."

    "Improvement..."

    Chen Feng sank into contemtion.

    He was already familiar with the three steps of gene production. If modifications were required, then naturally, all three steps needed to be modified as well! Chen Feng busied himself for two days before he was done with his preparations.

    First step, gene search.

    "Bang!"

    The light before his eyes cracked as Chen Feng entered the digitized mode.

    In the past, every time Chen Feng performed gene search, he merely activated the Luck Aura and grabbed whatever genes heid his eyes on, stopping as soon as the amount was sufficient. This was because he knew that the genes he caught were the most suitable genes!

    However, was the quantity required correct?

    What if the required amount of the improved form was not 300 genes? Or the type of requirements for the form itself was different altogether?

    Then...

    Chen Feng slowly closed his eyes.

    Using his spiritual energy, he blocked all his senses, blocked everything, entering a peculiar digitized world. This world was enveloped in darkness!

    He couldn¡¯t see anything, yet he could feel it.

    "Whoosh!"

    Chen Feng started casually grabbing genes.

    Not caring about the type and quantity, grabbing everything in front of him just like that. However many he caught would be totally dependent on luck! This was Chen Feng¡¯s strongest production mode!

    Chen Feng named this¡ªHyper-dimensional mode.

    His n was simple. Toplete the form transformation under this peculiar mode!

    ¡®The strongest gene! I must create the strongest gene!¡¯ Chen Feng started chanting in his heart.

    With Chen Feng¡¯s willpower as the foundation, Luck Aura began operating. A certain mysterious power started to operate furiously while Chen Feng¡¯s luck value started to slowly decline.

    It began!

    One point...

    Two points...

    Three points...

    It only stopped upon reaching five points. As luck values were not being exhausted anymore, Chen Feng was clear that the gene search step must have beenpleted at that point!

    Opening his eyes, Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped.

    Indeed...

    560 strains of genes!

    Compared to the previous 300 strains, even the gene types were totally different!

    This was something selected automatically by the Luck Aura!

    First step,pleted.

    "Very good."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    ¡®As long as it¡¯s working, it¡¯s good. Then, let¡¯s get started with the second step¡ªgene reaction.¡¯

    "Whoosh!"

    Chen Feng closed his eyes.

    He had to maintain this mode, since if his eyes were opened, he would definitely be distracted by these genes, getting himself influenced by the familiar genes!

    Whoosh!

    The sequence of gene reactions was in disorder.

    Chen Feng conveniently grabbed one gene after another and started the gene reaction process.

    Reaction!

    One after another, they started reacting!

    Chen Feng did not care about the sequence anymore. This step was obviously the hardest. Chen Feng¡¯s luck value was declining crazily at a frightening speed. When Chen Feng finallypleted all the gene reactions, he had consumed 10 points of luck value, an extremely terrifying number!

    Done!

    Second step,pleted!

    Chen Feng did not dare to open his eyes.

    He knew that the second step of gene reaction wasplete. That special mutated gene might have really been produced by him. What was left was the third step, gene fusion!

    As long as the fusion was sessful, it might give birth to this strongest gene!

    However, this was the most troublesome step.

    Not only the duplication of the gene, the crux was that the incubator liquid required for the duplication was something he did not have at all! He needed to use the avable materials and prepare an incubator liquid capable of supporting the duplication of the mutated gene.

    This was an unknown gene and an unknown incubator liquid.

    If he wanted toplete it, he could only depend on Luck Aura.

    "Luck Aura..."

    As Chen Feng prepared to continue, he suddenly felt a pang of dizziness.

 Chapter 41: Chen Fengâ€™s Path

    Chapter 41: Chen Feng¡¯s Path

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Hum¡ª"

    Chen Feng felt ringing in his ears as he felt that the whole world was suddenly enveloped in darkness. As he identally looked out the window toward the sun, he found that the sun actually appeared green!

    "What happened?"

    Chen Feng nked for a long time.

    Only after two full minutes did Chen Feng wake up to find that his spiritual energy had emptied at an unknown time!

    On his status window, under the spiritual energy section, a red-colored zero was shown!

    "I used up all my spiritual energy?"

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly.

    He had onlypleted the first two, simpler steps and hadn¡¯t even gotten started on the most troublesome third step! The dependence of gene production on spiritual energy far exceeded Chen Feng¡¯s imagination.

    He was sure that he had touched upon the realm of the strongest gene earlier. That improved form, that gene that was perfectly produced by Luck Aura, was an absolutely epic improvement! If he could really produce that gene, an unimaginable harvest could definitely be reaped!

    However... spiritual energy!

    "Have I been focused on the wrong thing?"

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    Spiritual energy was the foundation of gene production.

    Under normal circumstances, those with spiritual energy at the level of Chen Feng¡¯s would normally only dare to engage in the research of ordinary genes. Due to Chen Feng having the assistance of Luck Aura, he had been progressing smoothly, to the point where he could even deal with the 4-star thundersnake gene and 5-star gold ant gene. Hence, he had almost forgotten that there was such a thing as spiritual energy exhaustion!

    Lumberbear gene production consumed one point of spiritual energy.

    Thundersnake gene production consumed 10 points of spiritual energy.

    Gold ant gene production consumed 20 points spiritual energy.

    And to improve the gold ant gene form?

    Based on Chen Feng¡¯s estimations, without spiritual energy above 90 points, it was impossible to seed! The reality was, he only had 32 points of spiritual energy!

    "My foundations are too weak."

    Chen Feng could only smile bitterly.

    However, it was about time for him to improve this aspect of him!

    The increase of spiritual energy greatly benefited both gene production and one¡¯s strength. Furthermore, increasing spiritual energy would not dy too much of Chen Feng¡¯s time. On the contrary, after the increase, the speed in which Chen Feng could master a form might even increase!

    "Let¡¯s try!"

    Chen Feng decided.

    "Spiritual energy..."

    After pondering for a bit, Chen Feng took out the gold ant gene reagent that he had produced earlier¡ªtriggering the potential in one¡¯s body, permanently increasing one¡¯s spiritual energy by 20 points.

    Based on his understanding, these types of special reagents that permanently increased one¡¯s attributes could only be used once every ss. Regardless of the attribute improved, as long as it was used, it couldn¡¯t be used any more. Otherwise, with excessive gene intake, one¡¯s spirit would be broken apart.

    He had originally nned to sell it, but now...

    Chen Feng checked online and noticed that, currently, only three types of spirit-increasing reagents were avable in the whole business district. Each of them was extremely expensive.

    Demonic hare gene reagent: permanent increase of spiritual energy by eight points, priced at 80,000.

    Azure bat gene reagent: permanent increase of spiritual energy by 10 points, priced at 100,000.

    Cracked wing gene reagent: permanent increase of spiritual energy by 13 points, priced at 150,000.

    "The best of them only increases by 13 points."

    Chen Feng sank into contemtion.

    Spiritual energy was the foundation for gene production. Since he intended to increase his spiritual energy, he had to use the best. The gold ant gene he had produced was simply meant for him!

    "Whoosh!"

    Chen Feng used it immediately.

    "Hum¡ª"

    His spirit started boiling.

    Chen Feng could feel that his state of mind had be nimbler, his eyes had be keener, his ears had be sharper, and the originally dried-up spiritual energy had also been refilled to the peak during this process!

    52 points spiritual energy!

    "Let¡¯s try."

    Chen Feng tried entering the digitized mode.

    "Whoosh!"

    "Whoosh!"

    Regardless of the speed in which the digitized world was formed or the speed of gene search, both were faster than his previous speed. The speed of his gene production as a whole had increased by onefold! The formidable spiritual energy caused Chen Feng to have an all-around improvement. Even his Wind de was muchrger in size than before.

    "This is the benefit of having a powerful spirit?"

    Chen Feng was shocked.

    He knew that the improvement that came along with an increase in spiritual energy was huge; however, he never expected it to reach such an extent.

    No wonder everyone said that spiritual energy was the foundation of gene production. Not only this, spiritual energy was also the foundation of spirit-type gic warriors!

    Foundation...

    Chen Feng pondered for a bit before making up his mind. He had to increase his spiritual energy!

    There was no other reason. Currently, he wascking in too many aspects.

    Hecked form,cked the funds to spam forms,cked spiritual energy,ckedbat power!

    It was too forceful for one to participate in the rookiepetition so soon after graduation. If he failed during thepetition due to ack of spiritual energy, that would be too awkward. Hence, only a rapid increase of spiritual energy could give him an overall improvement in strength! Only then could he master 20-stars worth of form faster!

    Naturally, there was also that strongest gene that was already within reach. The strongest gene produced after the improvement of a 5-star gene form, what would it be?

    He was looking forward to it.

    He even had a premonition that if the strongest gene he produced was unprecedented in history, it would definitely bring him great benefits. Even the resources required to reach the 20-star rating would be covered!

    However, how should he increase his spiritual energy?

    In order to produce the strongest gene, at least 90 points of spiritual energy were required.

    Chen Feng was suddenly reminded of Wang Yue. This fellow only had around 30 points of spiritual energy previously, even lower than him. However, only half a month after graduation, he improved greatly and reached 80 points? In other words, in this short period of half a month, Wang Yue had increased his spiritual energy by 50 points.

    Even if he had passively grown his gene by 10 points and used the same peak-attribute 5-star reagent, where did the remaining 20 points came from?

    Pure tempering?

    He absolutely could not believe that!

    "There must be a faster method for increasing spiritual energy."

    Chen Feng was sure.

    At this moment, Chen Feng¡¯s wristband buzzed and Mu Yuan¡¯s image appeared.

    "How are you, Mu Yuan?"

    Chen Feng smiled calmly.

    "It¡¯s been a while."

    Mu Yuan looked at Chen Feng grudgingly. "I was waiting for your reply all this time. After your beginner producer certification, what form did you choose? After asking me, you disappeared straight away. Have you ever taken the feelings of one who had been abandoned into consideration?"

    Chen Feng wiped his sweat. He did not expect Mu Yuan to have kept thinking about this until now.

    Mu Yuan couldn¡¯t help but to curiously ask, "So, what did you pick in the end?" He had been holding this question for many days.

    "Thundersnake gene."

    Chen Feng answered honestly.

    "Indeed..."

    Mu Yuan¡¯s face froze and he disappointedly said, "This is what I was worried about. Brother, how many times have I told you, don¡¯t choose a high-difficulty gene. You think these high-difficulty genes provided by the association are a benefit? They are a pitfall, brother!"

    Mu Yuan was bitter and hateful. "F-ss high¨Cstar-rating forms are all useless! High cost yet low price! Due to the ss being only F, if you were to sell it at a higher price, nobody would want it. Even if you spend a huge amount of funds to master this form, you won¡¯t be able to earn much from it! How much of a loss is this? Do you know the reason for this? It¡¯s due to the supply exceeding the demand! When a gene producer wants to improve himself, a huge amount of low level reagents will be produced. And F ss is a stage where improvement is the easiest for a gic warrior. Those that did well would have upgraded to E ss or D ss long ago. Those that did not do well, how many of them can afford a 4-star or 5-star reagent? Right?"

    "F ss is totally something at the bottom tier of society. The real solid demand is on those high level gene reagents. Those are the actual main consumption of the society as a whole."

    "What you need to do is to increase your production level as fast as you can!"

    Mu Yuan advised earnestly, "Furthermore, based on your talent, the sess rate of 1-star and 2-star gene production should be rather high, right? Why do you need to touch those 4-star forms? Although those high-rated forms are somewhat powerful, the quality-to-price ratio is too low. There¡¯s also that sess rate that is practically a scam..."

    Chen Feng shrugged. "But I have sessfully produced it."

    "What¡¯s the point of sessfully producing it... wait, what?"

    Mu Yuan widened his eyes. "You produced it?"

    Chen Feng nodded. "Ah."

    Mu Yuan cried out in rm, "How is that possible! That thing has an excessive difficulty level. I previously tried for one whole month yet still failed and ended up getting hung on a tree and beaten up by my dad¡ª"

    Mu Yuan suddenly realized what he had said and abruptly paused.

    At this time, through the screen, he saw Chen Feng¡¯s faint smile and started feeling awkward.

    "Cough, cough."

    "Erm... back then, I was overconfident and chose the thundersnake gene. Hence, I did not want the same thing to happen to you as well. Unexpectedly, you are too formidable. Sigh, if I had your talent back then I would have been able to raise my head and be arrogant in front of that old man," Mu Yuan said, somewhat regretfully.

    Chen Fengughed involuntarily. How much resentment did this fellow have toward his father?

    "However, even if you produced it by fluke, I still don¡¯t rmend you continue using this gene to boost your level."

    Mu Yuan said in a low voice, "Let me tell you some inside news. These forms with high star ratings were all left behind by the previous generation. Withplicated material requirements, low sess rate and low quality-to-price ratios, their research value is much higher than their practical value. I heard that the association is currently thinking of a way to either simplify or altogether cancel the usage of these forms."

    "Mhm."

    Chen Feng did notment on that.

    He was clear on Mu Yuan¡¯s meaning.

    A normal producer would pick a high amount of forms with a high profit ratio to boost their growth, able to improve and make money at the same time. When they became an intermediate producer or an advanced producer, they would start raking in a much higher amount of profit. What a fulfilling life!

    This was also the proper choice most producers at the most basic level chose!

    Chen Feng had also experienced this with the lumberbear gene. With the cost of 4,000 yuan and the price of a peak-attribute reagent at 10,000 yuan, it had a profit of 150%! After mutation, the price was 20,000, and the profit reached a rate of 500%! A lot of other popr F-ss forms had even higher rates of profit!

    However, was this what Chen Feng needed?

    Obviously not.

    Why had he chosen a high-star-rating form?

    To increase his star rating!

    Was the thundersnake gene form profitable?

    It was not profitable!

    Was the gold ant gene form profitable?

    It was not profitable!

    However, for Chen Feng, they were the most valuable forms. He only needed to master these two forms and his production level would have an increase of 9 stars!

    Using the same amount of luck value, one lumberbear gene form could only increase his star rating by one. Using it on the gold ant gene form, he could increase his star rating by 5 instead. Why would he not do it?

    This was Chen Feng¡¯s thought process.

    A simpler manner of improvement!

    It was not due to this being the normal path one would take in this profession as a producer. It was due to the existence of Luck Aura, letting Chen Feng walk apletely different path than others!

    Chen Feng could only appreciate Mu Yuan¡¯s good intentions.

    Naturally, Chen Feng couldn¡¯t avoid thinking yfully within. ¡®One thundersnake gene is enough to scare you to such an extent. If you knew about the gold ant gene, would you go crazy? If you were to know that I am currently researching an even more terrifying 5-star mutated form, the strongest F-ss gene, would you pee your pants from the shock?¡¯

 Chapter 42: Gene Strengthening!

    Chapter 42: Gene Strengthening!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Why do you have this expression on your face?" Mu Yuan suddenly felt his hair stand on end.

    "Nothing." Chen Feng recalled something important. "Do you know how to increase spiritual energy?"

    "Through gene production," Mu Yuan stated confidently. "For us gene producers, as long as we produce genes, our spiritual energy will increase. If you feel like the growth is too slow, you can temper your gene to a certain extent. Some high-difficulty training sses are also able to help with increasing spiritual energy."

    Chen Feng shook his head. "I want a rapid increase method."

    He knew about those methods Mu Yuan had mentioned. Those were how producers normally improved themselves. For him, however, what hecked the most was time!

    "Rapid increase?" Mu Yuan frowned. "Let me think... Buy a permanent increase gene reagent? It¡¯s quite expensive though."

    "I used it." Chen Feng rebuked firmly.

    "I don¡¯t think there are any other methods." Mu Yuan suddenly recalled something and shook his head. "For a gene producer, only these few methods are avable. There¡¯s basically no other shortcuts. However, if it¡¯s a gic warrior..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡®Right. A gene producer is basically a spirit-type gic warrior! Those pure gic warriors can¡¯t produce any gene reagents. How do they increase their spiritual energy then?¡¯

    "I don¡¯t know if I should tell you this."

    Mu Yuan smiled bitterly, hesitating for a bit before saying, "Do you know how gic warriors increase their power?"

    "Through tempering?" Chen Feng guessed.

    "That¡¯s only one part of it."

    Mu Yuan inhaled. "Apart from normal training and high-difficulty drills, gic warriors have another method that is faster yet more dangerous¡ªgene strengthening!"

    "Gene strengthening?" Chen Feng¡¯s eyes brightened, he seemed to have heard this term before.

    "Yes. Gene strengthening!" Mu Yuan nodded. "The so-called gene strengthening is a method where one kills the mutated beasts from the same species as the gene one fused and takes their genes for one¡¯s own use! For example, if you fused the lumberbear gene at F ss, then you only need to kill a lumberbear that is stronger than you and absorb its gene into your body. This way, you will be able to strengthen your own lumberbear gene!"

    Chen Feng was still somewhat confused. "How to strengthen?"

    "Kill, absorb, and fuse," Mu Yuan said forthrightly. "Gene strengthening is different than gene refining. If you want to absorb a gene into your body and strengthen your own gene, you need to guarantee the gene¡¯s reactivity! In other words, you need toplete the gene strengthening process within a few minutes after killing the beast. Otherwise, the reactivity will disappear."

    ¡®So this is how it¡¯s done.¡¯

    Chen Feng thought about it. ¡®It doesn¡¯t seem too hard?¡¯

    For example, if he fused the lumberbear gene with 30 points of strength, he only needed to kill a lumberbear with strength higher than 30 points and absorb its gene into his own body toplete the strengthening? It seemed so simple, how was it as dangerous as Mu Yuan made it sound?

    Chen Feng suddenly thought of something. "Is the attribute increase 100%?"

    "Of course not." Mu Yuan shook his head. "You can treat gene strengthening as a mixture of two liquids with different concentration. In other words, if you kill a mutated beast with an attribute two points higher than yours, you will only obtain one point of the attribute! However, if some of the attributes are lower than yours..."

    "Hehe... that attribute of yours will decrease."

    "It¡¯s not a problem if the attribute increases. However, the moment an attribute decreases and your gene starts to degenerate, the harm it causes your body will be extremely huge. The consequences would be disastrous."

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Chen Feng inhaled a breath of cold air.

    Decrease?

    Gene degeneration?

    He suddenly understood.

    In other words, in order to perform gene strengthening, one needed to kill a mutated beast whose attributes were all higher than one¡¯s own attributes for it to work.

    Otherwise, after killing the mutated beast with much difficulty and performing gene strengthening only to end up with a decreased attribute, wouldn¡¯t that be ridiculous?

    However, not only was it hard to find the mutated beast fulfilling this requirement, even if one were to be found, could it be defeated? A mutated beast with the exact same attribute as a human possessed much higher power than the human. Hence, it would definitely be stronger than the human!

    This was gene strengthening!

    Killing a mutated beast, absorbing its gene, fusing it with one¡¯s own gene, andpleting the gene strengthening process to increase one¡¯s own attributes!

    This was the way in which gic warriors increased their power.

    Simple yet cruel!

    Furthermore, it was dangerous!

    "Hence..." Mu Yuan said in a gloomy voice, "the mortality rates of gic warriors are extremely high."

    "Understood."

    Chen Feng was enlightened. However, this lead to another question. "If I were to find a few mutated beasts with 100 attribute points and kill them, wouldn¡¯t I reach the limits of F ss immediately?"

    Chen Feng was still somewhat hopeful.

    If he were to fully unleash the power of Wind de...

    "How is it that easy?"

    Mu Yuan said straightforwardly, "You think gene strengthening is really so easy to perform? The difficulty level of gene strengthening is directly rted to both your body¡¯s endurance and your willpower. What the Gic Union rmended for F ss was around one or two attribute points per increase. If it¡¯s too high, things will get dangerous."

    Chen Feng was curious. "What kind of danger?"

    "How should I know? I¡¯m not a gic warrior." Mu Yuan rolled his eyes before his expression turned solemn. "What¡¯s dangerous is your current condition. Chen Feng, I know you want to rapidly increase your spiritual energy. However, you are in too much a rush!"

    "Is it that obvious?" Chen Feng was somewhat embarrassed.

    "Don¡¯t take this lightly." Mu Yuan sighed. "I remember how when I was short of money when young, I had thought of a lot of ways to make money fast and easy. However, I did not have the ability to act on it. Only when I grew up and nned to start my thought-out ns did I notice that all these shortcuts were already described in thew."

    "..." Chen Feng was dumbstruck. ¡®So what you thought of was all illegal methods?¡¯

    "Do you understand me?" Mu Yuan advised, "Normally, shortcuts are apanied by danger. The faster it is, the more dangerous it is! Even if its gene strengthening, you need to take it slow and not act recklessly."

    "Many thanks." Chen Feng understood his meaning. "In order to rapidly improve, there will be dangers."

    Mu Yuan smiled. "Not everyone can be like us gene producers. We only need to steadily produce our genes and will be able to increase our power as a result. Look at me, my spiritual energy has been increasing steadily. Now, I have broken through E ss."

    Mu Yuan was proud. This was also the reason why gene producer was a popr profession.

    "That¡¯s true." Chen Fengughed involuntarily.

    "Remember, don¡¯t be reckless," Mu Yuan warned repeatedly.

    Chen Feng smiled. "Naturally."

    After thanking Mu Yuan, Chen Feng ended the call.

    Although this ¡®chatterbox friendly elder brother¡¯ repeatedly emphasized the dangers, Chen Feng had already made up his mind. No matter how dangerous it was, could it be more dangerous than the Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain incident?!

    Chen Feng had never nned to be a shut-in nerd producer all along!

    To aid in gene production, a majority of gene producers would fuse with support-type genes. As such, theirbat power was very weak. Although a grandmaster producer could hire someone to protect himself, could Chen Feng leave his safety in the hands of others?

    If Chen Feng was being honest with himself, it was something he couldn¡¯t do.

    A human¡¯s heart was tooplicated.

    This was especially true in this dangerous yet unfamiliar world!

    Chen Feng did not want to depend on other¡¯s protection forever. Nor did he want to stay in safe zones forever, bing a shut-in nerd. There were too many mystical ces in this word, and he wanted to visit them all!

    Who said that a gene producer had to fuse with a support gene?

    Who said that a gene producer could not havebat power?

    Even as a gene producer, he also wanted to be the gene producer with the highestbat power!

    Chen Feng was confident.

    Since he wanted to be an expert, the basic activities such as battling and tempering himself couldn¡¯t be avoided!

    Gene strengthening?

    Chen Feng had to do it.

    However, he needed to make ample preparations.

    On the same day, Chen Feng started researching the information of Wind de online. His gic ability originated from a mutated beast called wind fox, which was abundant everywhere.

    If it was Gold City...

    After filtering the options, only one ce was left: Greenhill Forest.

    Greenhill Forest.

    60 meters south of Gold City, there was a huge forest. Due to the terrain being rugged, human activity there was sparse. It became the habitat for tens of types of mutated beasts. Not many people stepped foot there normally. Only small gic squads that wereparatively strong would dare to perform gene strengthening there!

    Wind fox was one of the tens of types of mutated beasts avable there.

    "Mhm..."

    Chen Feng carefully looked over the information. Luckily, the wind fox was not a species that liked to live together in flocks.

    "Presently, the advantages possessed by mutated beasts areparatively huge. I couldn¡¯t defeat those stronger than me at all."

    Chen Feng sank into contemtion. If he were to activate Luck Aura to instantly kill wind foxes that were stronger than him, his rate of improvement would be faster as well.

    Mhm...

    One point of spirit was able to increase the maximum spiritual energy by one point while his current spirit was at 52 points.

    "I still need 38 points."

    Chen Feng¡¯s requirement was not high. He only wanted his spiritual energy to reach 90 points, enabling him to produce the strongest gene, and it would be sufficient. If he were to hunt for mutated beasts in a rational way, it was possible for him to rush to 90 points in a short period of time!

    "There¡¯s a chance."

    Chen Feng was tempted.

    After calcting, he deduced that with Luck Aura, the risk he faced when going to Greenhill Forest to kill wind foxes was not too high, yet the gains he stood to reap were extremely high!

    Chen Feng decided. "It¡¯s worth going."

    However, there were some other problems.

    For example¡ª

    The three idiots that had trailed him previously. Although they had subsequently disappeared, Chen Feng couldn¡¯t help but to maintain a high vignce and prepare himself thoroughly.

    Spirit recovery reagent¡ªthree bottles.

    Spirit increase reagent¡ªthree bottles.

    Thundersnake gene reagent¡ªone bottle.

    Mutated beast detector¡ªone set.

    ...

    After two days, Chen Feng finished all his preparations.

    He had originally nned to produce two bottles of thundersnake gene reagent. Unfortunately, he was totally broke; his funds could only support the production of one of them.

    After everything was prepared, he left for the Gic Union¡¯s camp at Greenhill Forest.

 Chapter 43: Hunting Wind Foxes

    Chapter 43: Hunting Wind Foxes

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Greenhill Forest.

    Quietly, Chen Feng entered the forest.

    The sun was scorching.

    The sun shone through the dense tree leaves, bringing a flurry of heat with it. Chen Feng was cautiously observing his surroundings, not daring to lower his guard.

    "F-ss mutated beast, earthdrill bird."

    Chen Feng nced at it and carefully avoided the beast.

    Although these mutated beasts were not a threat to him, Chen Feng was obviously not interested in these mutated beasts that would not bring him any apparent gains.

    F-ss mutated beast, skyleap ape.

    F-ss mutated beast, skysoar boar.

    ...

    Chen Feng prated deep into the forest and finally reached the territory of the wind foxes.

    Looking into the distance, Chen Feng could clearly see one after another green- and white-colored foxes wandering on the hill, seemingly hunting something. After a long time, a mournful scream resounded.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped.

    Several Wind des were instantly unleashed.

    A skysoar boar that was passing by was shed into pieces. A group of illusionary-looking wind foxes exposed a savage expression on their faces and leaped at it viciously with their ws extended and directly tore the skysoar boar into pieces. Streams of blood were streaming down their ws, giving them an extremely terrifying appearance!

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Chen Feng inhaled a breath of cold air.

    This was a mutated wind fox!

    Along with the increase in their strength, the killing instinct of these mutated beasts would also increase. With bloodlust as their second nature, no matter how meek they appeared, they were actually extremely terrifying.

    "Whoosh!"

    Chen Feng carefully aimed at a lone wind fox that was separated from the rest.

    His wristband vibrated as the mutated beast detector he had prepared started scanning.

    ----

    Gene attributes:

    Strength: 15

    Agility: 22

    Physique: 18

    Spirit: 48

    ----

    "Ding¡ª"

    "Afterparing with your attributes, the result is as follows: five point increase in strength, 12 point increase in agility, eight point increase in physique, four point decrease in spirit. Not rmended to fuse."

    Chen Feng shook his head.

    He could still ignore the other three attributes, but for spirit to decrease? This was his main attribute. It seemed like this wind fox was not suited to be his gene-strengthening material. Chen Feng sprawled within the thicket and observed his surroundings without stop using his wristband.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng saw a wind fox that was distinctlyrger than the rest and instinctively scanned it.

    ---

    Gene attributes:

    Strength: 55

    Agility: 52

    Physique: 88

    Spirit: 100

    ----

    "Damn!"

    Chen Feng was shaken.

    100 spirit? Was that the leader? If he killed that beast...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were red from temptation.

    However, as he recalled the unknown danger Mu Yuan mentioned, Chen Feng calmed himself down quickly. The attributes of a wind fox at this level far exceeded Chen Feng¡¯s!

    It was very probable that something bad would happen!

    Wind fox leader...

    Chen Feng took his thundersnake gene reagent out and looked longingly at the attributes of this wind fox leader on his wristband screen for a long time before finally deciding to give up on it.

    Mu Yuan¡¯s words were still somewhat effective on Chen Feng.

    Currently, if he were too greedy, something bad might happen!

    "Let¡¯s change the target."

    Chen Feng sighed and continued searching the outeryer of the area.

    A suitable wind fox was not easy to find. Chen Feng was clear on his advantages and disadvantages. Only after one whole hour did Chen Feng lock onto another target.

    "All the attributes are higher than mine by five points. After gene strengthening, I should get two points."

    Chen Feng was tempted.

    This was a feasible target.

    Chen Feng approached silently. However, when he was roughly ten meters from the wind fox, the wind fox moved slightly and abruptly looked toward Chen Feng¡¯s direction.

    ¡®Not good, I¡¯ve been discovered.¡¯

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped.

    He was paying too much attention to the attributes andbat power of this wind fox and forgot that wind foxes also possessed a high level of awareness.

    "Whoosh!"

    As the wind fox sensed an unfamiliar aura, it abruptly scuttled toward that aura with a speed that was multiple times faster than Chen Feng¡¯s. A chain of three Wind des instantly condensed in front of the beast.

    Xiu! Xiu!

    One after another, Wind des pierced the air, heading toward Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng was shocked. ¡®The heck. Is this 5%?¡¯

    Whoosh!

    Chen Feng instinctively released a single Wind de.

    Only one appeared.

    The azure colored radiance collided with the wind fox¡¯s light de. However, in only a short moment, Chen Feng¡¯s Wind de shattered. At the same time, together with three Wind des, the wind fox was already leaping toward Chen Feng. In these few short seconds, the wind fox had disyed its formidable killing ability.

    "Can¡¯t drag on."

    Chen Feng inhaled.

    This wind fox surpassed him in every aspect. If he did not use Luck Aura, he stood no chance at all.

    "Ao¡ª"

    As the Wind des neared him, Chen Feng inhaled while he unleashed his Wind de. After the consumption of one point of luck value, a terrifying might was disyed by his Wind de.

    Tenbo attack!

    Plop! Plop! Plop!

    Blue light flickered followed by a howl, and the wind fox was no longer conscious.

    Chen Feng quickly took out the prepared gene-absorbing tool and absorbed the wind fox¡¯s gene before injecting it into himself.

    Hum!

    Chen Feng could feel a warm current entering his body.

    The freshly injected gene started to fuse with the gene within his body as the temperature of his body slightly increased. A few beads of sweat appeared on his body. However, it did not affect him much. He could feel his body increasing in quality. After the gene strengthening ended, his attributes had increased.

    ----

    Gene attributes:

    Strength: 12

    Agility: 12

    Physique: 12

    Spirit: 54

    ----

    Two point increase for each of his attribute. It was not an easy feat to find a suitable wind fox!

    Rustle!

    Before Chen Feng could even bask in the enjoyment that feeling brought, he could sense that peculiar sounds were starting to appear around him as the faint stench of blood spread around him.

    "I need to leave."

    Chen Feng was cautious and left immediately.

    Less than one minute after he left, more than 10 mutated beasts appeared, fighting with each other as the wind fox¡¯s corpse was torn apart.

    This was the world of mutated beasts!

    Without the assistance of Luck Aura, the one being ripped apart might be Chen Feng instead.

    "Next."

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze wandered toward the distant wind foxes, looking for his next target.

    One...

    Two...

    Three...

    Chen Feng hunted quietly.

    After all, these wind foxes were only normal F-ss mutated beasts. Under Chen Feng¡¯s unlimited Wind des, they could pose no resistance. The only thing Chen Feng needed to take note of was to leave promptly after each kill. He definitely could not be discovered by other beasts, or else he would definitely die without even a burial site.

    After more than half day, Chen Feng¡¯s spirit finally reached 62 points.

    Four instances of one point increases and three instances of two point increases!

    It was too hard.

    In seven hours, he had only performed seven gene strengthenings. On average, only one suitable beast was found per hour.

    After calcting, Chen Feng found that he had used a total 10 points of luck value. Among these, 3 points were used when he was fleeing from a few mutated beasts that he had identally encountered.

    Chen Feng calcted silently. "Only a 10 point increase in spirit after consuming 10 points of luck value?"

    Even the him that possessed Luck Aura encountered such hardship. How about the others?

    Gene strengthening was dangerous indeed.

    "It¡¯s gettingte. I¡¯ll go back after killing a few more," Chen Feng told himself.

    However, all the wind foxes had disappeared for some unknown reason.

    Chen Feng searched for a short while yet failed to find any wind foxes. Even when he prated deeper into the wind foxes¡¯ birth ce, he still couldn¡¯t find a single wind fox.

    "Something is wrong."

    Chen Feng felt something amiss.

    Retreat!

    Chen Feng retreated without hesitation. However, at this moment...

    "Whoosh!"

    A streak of light radiating with a cold glint flew over Chen Feng¡¯s scalp as Chen Feng barely dodged this attack. If his agility hasn¡¯t been increased earlier, he would have been killed by the attack.

    "What was that?"

    Chen Feng nced around instinctively and felt his soul leaving his body.

    A dense group of wind foxes had appeared and surrounded him. They were looking at him with ice-cold gazes, arranged neatly without a single wind fox running around in a disorderly manner.

    "What¡¯s happening?"

    Chen Feng felt something amiss. Had he been surrounded by wind foxes?

    How could these low-level mutated beasts possess intelligence?!

    While Chen Feng nked, that wind fox leader appeared from the hill top. The scariest part of that wind fox leader¡¯s appearance was the fact that there was a youngster seated on the wind fox leader.

    Using the wind fox as a mount?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped. ¡®Who is that!¡¯

    On the hill, the wind fox leader stood proudly. Seated on it was a handsome young man. He nced at Chen Feng indifferently, endless contempt in his eyes.

    "Go!"

    Without uttering any unnecessary words, he waved his hand and 30 wind foxes charged forward.

    "Who is that?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped as he leaped backwards. One after another, terrifying Wind des startednding on the ground Chen Feng passed, scarring the ground with deep marks.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Chen Feng inhaled a breath of cold air.

    "Whoosh!"

    Another Wind de passed by him.

    Inhaling deeply, Chen Feng unleashed his power during the momentary gap when the wind foxes finished releasing their Wind des, killing two wind foxes before he quickly hid himself. The freshly increased agility disyed its usefulness, as there were several times where Chen Feng only barely dodged the attacksing at him.

    Wind de!

    So many Wind des that they covered the sky!

    This was the first time Chen Feng had a taste of what his opponents normally felt.

    Luckily, these Wind des attacked in a straight line.

    It was obvious that these low-level wind foxes couldn¡¯t control their Wind des. Although they could unleashbo attacks, the attacks all traveled in a straight line. Chen Feng was able to see the trajectory of the attacks from far away and could defend himself with the rocks and trees in the forest. He had also unleashed several 10bo attacks effortlessly and killed around seven to eight wind foxes.

    At this, they stopped their attacks.

    Soon, those wind foxes got out of the way as the wind fox leader and the young man slowly walked over, giving Chen Feng the opportunity to get a clear look at the young man¡¯s appearance.

    "That is..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupil constricted.

    That was a man with a stunningly pretty face. However, what shocked Chen Feng the most was not his looks but instead the hairy ears on his head and that long furry tail at his back!

    Mutant!

    This was the term that appeared abruptly in Chen Feng¡¯s mind.

    He once read from a book that one who did not meet the requirements yet fused with a gene reagent forcefully had a small probability to mutate after failing the fusion. The mutated beast¡¯s gene would take the dominant position in the body instead and the person would be a half-human, half-beast organism, a vastly different type of organism!

    These people were extremely dangerous!

    That was because a normal person would perform gene strengthening through absorbing the genes of mutated beasts while these people... would perform gene strengthening through absorbing human¡¯s genes.

    They were close to being a human¡¯s natural predator!

    "Seems like there¡¯s no chance to make peace."

    Chen Feng did not expect that he would meet a mutant that preyed on normal humans here at Greenhill Forest. From his opponent¡¯s gaze, he realized that this would be a battle that would not end without one party dying.

    He had be his opponent¡¯s prey.

    "It¡¯s getting somewhat troublesome."

    Chen Feng was speechless.

    Those normal wind foxes did not bother him at all. However, that terrifying wind fox leader was something that he might not be able to rival even after using Luck Aura!

    It was extremely dangerous!

    Surprisingly, that mutant merely rubbed the wind fox leader¡¯s head before walking out and standing in front of Chen Feng.

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying power was emitted from the mutant¡¯s body. He stood proudly and looked at Chen Feng coldly while an azure colored Wind de swirled around him.

    He was provoking Chen Feng!

    "A hundred points of spirit? Stuck at the limit of F ss?"

    Chen Feng suddenly understood.

    Limit mode.

    This was an extremely peculiar mode.

    The enhancements provided by the gene¡¯s attributes were, in essence, something that aroused the gene potential within one¡¯s body.

    However, there was a limit to one¡¯s body. Even after fusing a gene with one¡¯s body, there would still be a limit! The limit for a F-ss gic warrior was 100 attribute points! Regardless of the attribute, as soon as it reached 100 points, it would enter limit mode!

    The limit mode was a situation where no normal methods would be able to increase the attributes anymore!

    At this time, one could only surpass the limit and break through one¡¯s predicament before being able to once again increase one¡¯s attributes.

    ording to the Gic Union, a human body possessed unlimited potential. They were merely chained by unseen shackles. This was the so-called limit mode. Only by removing these shackles and breaking through the locks would one be able surpass themselves and be more powerful.

    There were a lot of methods to surpass one¡¯s limit.

    There were some who trained unceasingly, surpassing themselves through effort and sweat!

    There were some who engaged in battle, surpassing themselves by breaking through via desperation!

    There were some who were exceedingly lucky, surpassing themselves by fortuitous encounters and coincidences!

    There were also some who... were unable to surpass themselves for their whole lives!

    This was the case for both normal humans and mutants.

    The mutant in front of him had obviously reached the limit mode and was nning to use Chen Feng as the springboard to break through his limit mode, entering E ss!

    "Howl¡ª"

    All the wind foxes around cheered him.

    Step by step, that mutant neared. A terrifying power was being condensed by him, and Chen Feng was able to sense a familiar power bubbling unceasingly around him. That was the power of the wind fox¡¯s bloodline!

    "Howl!"

    The mutant howled.

    The mutant aimed at Chen Feng and a Wind de shot out of his hand. This was a different Wind de from what the normal wind foxes released. His Wind de was clearly faster and stronger, and in a higher quantity as well!

    He wanted to y Chen Feng to enter E ss!

    "Using me as a stepping stone?"

    Chen Feng smiled.

    "Come!"

    A cold glint flickered in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    A sh of Wind des?

    He was never afraid of that!

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    Terrifying sounds of explosions reverberated throughout the area.

    A session of Wind des started shattering midair, and the wind foxes around them were forced to retreat a few steps back as they witnessed the shocking scene that was unfolding in the air.

    Ten Wind des!

    Twenty Wind des!

    Thirty Wind des!

    ...

    The whole area was enveloped by an iparably bright azure radiance. There were no signs of them stopping. What was left was an endless bout of shing Wind des!

    "He actually dares to have a battle of Wind des with me?"

    Initially, the mutant was still iparably confident.

    Who was he?

    A mutant!

    Although he had lost a lot as a mutant, he had also gained the most outstanding bloodline of the wind foxes!

    Competing in Wind des?

    Nobody had ever surpassed him! Even the wind fox leader was unable to do so!

    Furthermore, his Wind des were obviously more powerful than Chen Feng¡¯s Wind des. A single Wind de of his was able to destroy two of Chen Feng¡¯s Wind de. Having a Wind de match with him was akin to courting death!

    However, when the amount of Wind des that were shing exceeded 50, he started to be somewhat astonished. A continuousbo of 50 Wind des, this youngster¡¯s research on Wind de seemed to have reached the pinnacle of Wind des, and was considered a rare talent in this world!

    When the amount of Wind des reached 100, his expression started to change even though the amount of Wind des he required was merely half of it, just 50!

    The amount was still increasing!

    Wind des¡ª

    Never stopped appearing!

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    Once again, the amount of shing Wind des rose rapidly.

    One hundred twenty Wind des!

    One hundred thirty Wind des!

    One hundred fifty Wind des!

    The mutant¡¯splexion started to be green.

    "Is this really a human?"

    "How can a human reach this level?"

    However, their shes never stopped. At this time, none of them dared to stop, because the one who stopped would die!

    One hundred seventy Wind des!

    One hundred eighty Wind des!

    The mutant was thoroughly stupefied.

    "Who¡¯s the actual mutant here? I am the actual sessor of the wind fox¡¯s bloodline! I am the one with the purest wind fox¡¯s bloodline!"

    He was beginning to doubt his bloodline, wondering if he had mutated into a fake wind fox¡¯s bloodline during his gic mutation.

    How could things have turned out this way?

    He couldn¡¯t understand.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    One hundred ny Wind des!

    Two hundred Wind des!

    The Wind des finally broke through the terrifying amount of 200, while the amount of Wind des the mutant unleashed finally reached 100. However, what shocked him was that even now, his opponent¡¯s Wind des were still increasing in amount.

    It¡¯s still going up? Is there an end to this? This is no longer something as simple as probability, right? Even if he can form Wind des quickly, it wouldn¡¯t be to such an extent, right?

    The mutant was almost copsing from despair.

    He only wanted Chen Feng to give him some pressure in order to break through. He did not expect that Chen Feng¡¯sbo of Wind des would pressure him to the point where he started questioning the natural order of the world!

    You can¡¯t bully someone like this!

 Chapter 45: Confrontation at the Danger Zone

    Chapter 45: Confrontation at the Danger Zone

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Greenhill Forest, at the territory of the wind foxes, a heated confrontation was still in progress.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    Wind des shattered.

    The mutant that was usually full of arrogance was currently pale. His face trembled as he looked at the never-ending Wind des, released by his opponent, which almost drove him into desperation!

    How is this possible?

    The mutant was inwardly rmed.

    Under normal circumstances, there was no cooldown period for Wind des. However, due to the need to form and activate it, and also the momentary pause in movement after releasing the Wind des, one could only release an average of one Wind de per second. If one were to master certain special techniques, there was a possibility for the release speed to increase, enabling one to unleashbo attacks.

    This, in essence, was howbo Wind des were achieved!

    As a mutant with the wind fox bloodline, he had very highprehension on all aspects of Wind des. Hence, there were no pauses whatsoever between Wind des released by him!

    Therefore¡ª

    He could reach the absolute level of 100 continuous releases.

    Without depending on the probability rate to trigger, he reached this amount with pure ability alone.

    Wind de would consume one point of spiritual energy per release, and he had a spiritual energy of 100 points. Hence, the minimum amount he could typically reach was 100 releases. Once the probability was triggered, the amount of Wind des released by him would increase. He believed that he would be even more powerful after reaching E ss.

    As for triggering the probability for additional Wind des... this was also something he was proud of.

    The probability rate to trigger additional Wind des for a normal person was 5%. He, on the other hand, as a mutant possessing the bloodline of wind fox, possessed a terrifying probability rate of 20%! Every time he fully unleashed the Wind des, he would reach a total amount around 120 to 150 from thebination of normal releases and the probability triggered releases.

    A terrifying amount.

    Hence, he had never regretted turning into a mutant.

    However, now...

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    A chain of Wind des descended.

    Calcting the amount, the mutant¡¯s face was deathly pale as he noted that it had reached 280 Wind des!

    This damnable human had reached 280 Wind des, shattering the pride of the mutant while ravaging him viciously in the process as well.

    "He probably can¡¯t go on much longer."

    The mutant prayed in his heart.

    However, with grief, he found that his 100 points of spiritual energy were almost used up at this point.

    Naturally, he did not realize that he was wrong from the start. Chen Feng¡¯s 100bo and 200bo attacks were unrted to his Wind de release speed. Instead, all of them were purely triggered by the probability!

    "Bang!"

    Another chain of Wind des descended.

    Two hundred ny Wind des!

    Three hundred Wind des!

    "Pop!"

    In the end, the mutant failed to oust him.

    "Bang!"

    He was flung out of the area.

    He had been defeated in this sh of Wind des.

    The mutant was puzzled. How can it... be this way?¡¯

    "Good chance."

    A cold glint flickered in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    Adhering to the concept of taking one¡¯s life while one was sick, Chen Feng unleashed his Wind de once again without hesitation. A powerful force pierced through the mutant. The wind foxes around them were anxious, yet they did not take any action in the end. As Chen Feng¡¯s Wind des were on the brink of ying the mutant, a change urred!

    "Bang!"

    An astonishing yet terrifying power was released from the mutant¡¯s body.

    The frightening power pierced the heavens.

    "This aura..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped.

    E ss! This guy really surpassed his limit?

    "Hahaha!"

    The mutantughed wildly.

    "Howl¡ª"

    The mutant¡¯s body started growing in size, and white fur started growing on his body. Originally, the only part where his body differed from a normal human body was the furry ears and tail. However, that body was nowpletely covered with fur. Only his face still somewhat resembled a human.

    Human head with a fox¡¯s body!

    This was a true mutant!

    Chen Feng was solemn.

    "Hahaha."

    The mutantughed wildly. "I broke through. I finally broke through. A mutant does not need to fuse genes at every ss. Hehe, I only need to devour you..."

    "Your ability!"

    "Your gene!"

    "Everything of yours now belongs to me."

    With a malevolent expression on his face, that handsome face currently appeared iparably twisted.

    "Thump!"

    "Thump!"

    He walked out step by step while a terrifying power roared around him. Although breaking through his limit only increased his attribute by one point, being an E-ss mutant, it allowed the power of the wind fox¡¯s bloodline to flourish, changing his body to be more beast-like. With the newly grown thick fur and a stronger bloodline, hisbat power had increased greatly.

    "sh of Wind des, right? Let me show you, who are the one with the true wind fox bloodline," the mutant bellowed.

    "Whoosh!"

    Wind des were once again unleashed.

    Chen Feng only looked at him coldly. Who the heck wants topete in the wind fox¡¯s bloodline with you?

    As a result of this guy breaking through to E ss, the wind fox leader started eyeing Chen Feng while the normal wind foxes started to surround him. As he saw this, without hesitation, he threw out an item radiating a green and white color.

    "What?"

    The mutated man nked momentarily.

    "Howl!"

    The wind fox leader, who had maintained its vignce, felt something amiss and leaped on the mutant, pushing him onto the ground.

    "Bang!"

    The sound of thunder reverberated as a terrifying power threw the wind fox leader out of the area. The wind fox leader felt on the ground and blood sttered around, and it no longer stood up after that. The normal wind foxes around them were also hit by the explosion. None of them survived. In fact, none of their corpses stayed intact.

    The mutated man was suffering from a serious injury as well!

    "Fox Pipi!"

    The mutant howled and crawled up with great difficulty and looked at this scene in shock. He had never expected that just as he broke through to E ss, he had attracted this move from his opponent!

    "You have surprisingly survived?"

    Chen Feng was somewhat regretful.

    The speed of the wind fox leader was too fast. It had actually protected the mutant with its own life. It seemed to really consider that mutant as part of its n! Furthermore, after breaking through to E ss, the thick fur on his body had resisted a huge amount of damage for him!

    However, exceeding anyone¡¯s expectation, that mutant only gazed deeply at the wind fox leader before turning around and starting to escape.

    "Want to run?"

    Chen Feng shed toward him with several Wind des.

    However, the current mutant was already at E ss. Even with injuries on his body, his speed was still above Chen Feng¡¯s. It quickly disappeared from Chen Feng¡¯s line of sight.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Can¡¯t keep up."

    This was the domain of wind foxes. For this guy to escape, it signified great troubles ahead of him.

    "Let¡¯s leave here first."

    Chen Feng looked at the ground around him.

    A high amount of wind foxes had been killed. However, under the destruction of thundersnake gene¡¯s power, the corpses of the ordinary wind foxes were all burnt without any reactivity left in their genes. Only the corpse of the wind fox leader, who possessed formidable strength and thick skin, was in somewhat good condition.

    "Plop!"

    Chen Feng extracted the gene of the wind fox leader before leaving quickly.

    Just a minute after Chen Feng left, he started hearing unceasing sounds of rustling as, one after another, wind foxes appeared everywhere and started searching the area without stop. The mutant had returned with over 100 wind foxes to search that area without stop, seeking Chen Feng!

    "So fast!"

    Chen Feng was solemn.

    Now that he was deep within the territory of the wind fox, he would not be able to escape anytime soon. Furthermore, that mutant was also yearning for Chen Feng¡¯s gene...

    "Things are getting somewhat troublesome."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    The speed in which this mutant had gathered the wind foxes far exceed Chen Feng¡¯s imagination. The amount of wind foxes seemed to be even higher than the earlier group when the mutant had first appeared!

    "Is it due to him breaking through to E ss?" Chen Feng guessed.

    "What to do?"

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    He was aware that the mutant was nning to trap him here.

    "Unless..."

    Chen Feng looked at the gene in his hand.

    This was the gene that was freshly extracted from the corpse of the wind fox leader. Its gene attributes were extremely high. If Chen Feng was able to sessfully fuse with it, his spiritual energy would be increased from 62 points to 81 points. His other attributes, such as strength, physique and agility, would also reach 50 points!

    This was an extremely formidable all-rounded upgrade!

    With an all-around increase in hisbat power and his unlimited Wind des, he stood a chance to battle it out!

    However...

    Chen Feng suddenly recalled Mu Yuan¡¯s words: "unknown dangers."

    If one were to fuse with a gene exceeding one¡¯s willpower and the tolerance level of one¡¯s body, unknown dangers would appear. Chen Feng hesitated before smiling bitterly. Were there any other options?

    The gene of the wind fox leader might lose its reactivity at any time. If he continued hesitating, he would lose even this single chance of his!

    "Hopefully you won¡¯t disappoint me," Chen Feng muttered to himself.

    "Plop!"

    He injected himself with the gene. At this time, he could only risk it all!

 Chapter 46: Who Is the Actual Freak?

    Chapter 46: Who Is the Actual Freak?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying power started gushing out. Chen Feng almost vomited a mouthful of blood from this.

    Too powerful!

    This gic power was too powerful!

    Chen Feng¡¯s attributes were originallyparatively weaker. Due to this, he almost failed to endure the extreme contrast between his attributes and those of the wind fox leader. His whole body trembled unceasingly like a sieve as he endured the transformation brought forth by the gene. The immense pain almost caused Chen Feng to faint.

    Attribute upgrades were not always something pleasurable.

    "So this is the unknown danger?"

    Chen Feng clenched his teeth. Previously, all his attributes were increased by one or two points each time, with the maximum being three points. He had never expected that this increase of tens of points would be so terrifying!

    "Pu!"

    Another mouthful of blood was vomited.

    Chen Feng felt immense pain throughout his body, akin to being set on fire.

    This was the so-called willpower and body¡¯s tolerance?

    He had to endure it!

    Endure!

    Endure!

    Chen Feng bellowed inwardly, and all over his body, veins started surfacing.

    The suffering he experienced in his previous life helped Chen Feng to stay iparably firm at this moment. As long as he endured it, he would reap a huge gain this time! He had to endure it!

    If he failed...

    He would have worked for nothing!

    This was a rare opportunity, one which Chen Feng did not want to waste.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    One after another, sounds of explosion resounded from within Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    Blood dripped out of Chen Feng¡¯s mouth, yet he still endured it.

    However, just as he was halfway through the gene strengthening process, a familiar voice appeared, causing Chen Feng¡¯s heart to drop to the abyss. "Finally found you."

    The mutant!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped. He had actuallye!

    Before his eyes, the mutant appeared.

    Around him, nearly 100 wind foxes had him surrounded as they eyed him viciously.

    "Gene strengthening?"

    The mutant sneered. "Human, a weak species!"

    "Hehe."

    "You humans selfishly believe that you are the masters of the world, yet in the future, this will be the world of us mutants. We, mutants, are much stronger than you all!"

    "Now..."

    The mutant looked at Chen Feng greedily. "You are mine."

    "Damn it."

    Inwardly, Chen Feng had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

    He had taken the possibility of the mutant¡¯s return into consideration. However, what he did not take into consideration was the immense pain brought about by gene strengthening! He did not expect it would actually be so terrifying when one absorbed a gene far surpassing one¡¯s own ability or that the time required to perform the gene strengthening would be so long!

    "You will be grateful to me."

    The mutant ced his hand on Chen Feng¡¯s chest.

    "Psshh!"

    The sharp ws on his hand prated deeply into Chen Feng¡¯s flesh.

    "Now! Let me devour your power!"

    The mutant smiled malevolently.

    "Hum¡ª"

    A gush of power started flowing out of his body. He nned to devour Chen Feng¡¯s gene, turning it into part of him. Not only that, what he nned was to devour Chen Feng alive!

    "Damn it."

    Veins started surfacing on Chen Feng¡¯s whole body.

    He wanted to move, yet he couldn¡¯t budge.

    The gene of the wind fox leader was too powerful. It was powerful to the extent where the only thing he could do was to only endure with everything he had until the gene strengthening waspleted! Under such immense pain, it was already good for one to be able to stay conscious.

    ¡®Am I going to die here?¡¯

    Chen Feng opened his eyes wide. He was unwilling!

    Gene strengthening...

    Chen Feng suddenly recalled something.

    Luck Aura, activate!

    elerate the gene strengthening process!

    However¡ª

    There was no effect!

    If I can¡¯t elerate the strengthening speed, I shall let all the genes in my body strengthen separately instead. Prioritize a part of it first; even if only a hand ispleted, it will be sufficient! Chen Feng roared inwardly.

    Whoosh!

    The luck value dropped rapidly!

    One point, two points, three points...

    The Luck Aura was something that worked on what Chen Feng willed it to work on. However, something like gene strengthening, even if 10,000 points of luck values were consumed, it would still not change! However, along with the consumption of luck value, thest-minute strengthening n he had devised surprisingly started proceeding without hups.

    First were his fingers.

    Chen Feng¡¯s forefinger and middle fingerpleted their strengthening at this moment!

    Done!

    Chen Feng was in ecstasy.

    The gene strengthening sequence could actually be altered.

    This gene strengthening process was originally a sh of 2pletely identical genes. Akin to 2 types of liquid being poured into a vessel, the sh of genes was not something controble. However, now, due to the existence of Luck Aura, they were lined up in an orderly fashion and started the strengthening process without any disorder!

    Even the pain he was enduring was somewhat reduced.

    I can move my fingers.

    Chen Feng held his excitement in.

    Although this was a simple procedure, it consumed 10 points of his luck value! The originally low amount of remaining luck value was currently nearing the bottom.

    This was an immense consumption!

    At this moment, the mutant was absorbing Chen Feng¡¯s gene.

    In his head, he could already picture the future where he absorbed Chen Feng¡¯s gene into his body, turning them into a part of him. He would be able to reach 100bo attacks or 1,000bo attacks, creating a legend! However, at this moment, he suddenly noticed that Chen Feng¡¯s wrist that originally couldn¡¯t move was shuddering slightly.

    "You can move now?"

    The mutant was shocked.

    Gene strengthening!

    Especially when fusing with this type of exceedingly strong gene, how could one move beforepletion?

    Wait!

    The mutant recalled something as his expression changed. If Chen Feng could move, wouldn¡¯t that mean...

    At this moment, he could seemingly feel that a smile had curled up on the corner of this human¡¯s lips. Subsequently, he saw an instantaneous release of a chain of Wind des!

    "Pu!"

    "Pu!"

    All the Wind des pierced through his chest without pause!

    His body had already sustained serious injuries. The only reason he¡¯de to Chen Feng was to perform gene strengthening. Hence, he was unguarded and ended up being pierced into a sieve by Chen Feng¡¯s attacks!

    "You..."

    The mutant opened his eyes wide.

    Blood was flowing.

    "How is this possible?"

    The mutant touched his chest in daze. Only a vast expanse of red blood could be felt there.

    He looked at the human. That guy was actually still going through the gene strengthening process!

    Hahahahahahahahaha.

    The mutant started tough silently,ughing until he cried.

    Able to move during the gene strengthening process?

    Having a higher amount of Wind des than him?

    What kind of freak was he facing? Compared to a mutant like him that was supposed to be a freak, this human seemed to be the real freak?

    Thump!

    He copsed with an unreconciled heart.

    At this moment.

    Along with the death of the mutant, the over 100 wind foxes around howled as they looked at Chen Feng viciously, seemingly on the edge of rushing to Chen Feng. Chen Feng¡¯s finger trembled lightly.

    "Bang!"

    Wind des fluttered around.

    "Whoosh!"

    "Whoosh!"

    Tens of Wind des rotated around him. Although Chen Feng had yet toplete his gene strengthening, his spirit had increased by arge amount. Facing these ordinary wind foxes, it was a one-sided ughter!

    "Thump! Thump!"

    Several wind foxes copsed.

    The rest of the wind foxes felt something amiss and scattered immediately. Without the wind fox leader and the mutant, it was impossible for these wind foxes that were originally solitary beasts to unite.

    The wind foxes left, leaving multiple corpses behind.

    The area was in a mess.

    Only Chen Feng survived.

    Currently, he only had 5 points of luck left!

    "Ah."

    With some difficulty, Chen Feng opened his mouth.

    Survived!

    However¡ª

    This was only a beginning!

    Because, currently, his gene strengthening had reached the final stage.

    "Ka!"

    "Ka!"

    That was the sound of his bones being transformed.

    Clenching his teeth, Chen Feng endured everything as his whole body was dripping with sweat.

    The gene strengthening process that was proceeding in an orderly fashion had returned to its previous state due to Chen Feng deactivating the Luck Aura. The pain he suffered had reached the maximum. Him stopping the Luck Aura was not due to him being unable to use it. Instead, it was him not daring to use it. Just using the Luck Aura toplete the gene strengthening on his hand had consumed 10 points of luck values. What change could a mere 5 points bring?

    It couldn¡¯t change anything!

    Since that was the case, he might as well continue enduring this pain.

    At this ce full of danger, Chen Feng did not dare to waste even the tiniest bit of his luck value. However, for him to be able to still think at this moment, was he not impressive?

    Eh, why am I thinking about this?

    Chen Feng could feel his thoughts starting to fall into disorder.

    Those three idiots that tried to assassinate me in ck Cloud Continent seem to have disappeared... It can¡¯t be that, after getting set up by me, they started to think that it was actually profitable to sell blood essence after all and changed their profession, right?

    I wonder if that bald Xu Fei will still be able to grow his hair?

    That little girl Su Jin, could it be that she likes me? But she¡¯s not my type.

    Mhm...

    Actually, Wang Yao doesn¡¯t seem too bad, right? Although her age is somewhat low, she doesn¡¯t seem to bepletely t chested.

    Right, what¡¯s her rtionship with Wang Yue? Sister?

    Heh, if Mu Yuan found the current state I¡¯m in, he would probably start nagging me for not listening to him, right?

    I wonder if they caught that old bastard Xie Kangzhong yet?

    ...

    Countless bizarre thoughts surfaced in Chen Feng¡¯s brain.

    Currently, his brain felt like a clump of glue. However, he did not stop himself from indulging in these random thoughts as he felt that this seemed to be somewhat helpful in reducing his pain.

    His sight getting blurry, Chen Feng tried to stay awake with great difficulty. After every burst of pain, Chen Feng could feel an increase of power within him.

    This is an improvement!

    This is a good thing!

    I must not lose consciousness! Chen Feng warned himself inwardly.

    At this moment, seemingly having sensed the aura on Chen Feng¡¯s body, a few weak F-ss mutated beasts looked toward his direction, their eyes glinting ominously.

    "This..."

    Chen Feng could only smile bitterly.

    What was this?

    Even the mutant was killed by him, yet he would get himself killed off by some F-ss mutated beasts?

    He was a genius possessing the ability to battle someone of a higher ss!

    Currently, those few mutated beasts seemed to have sensed the power contained in Chen Feng¡¯s body. Their gazes were immediately filled with greed, and killing intent started seeping into their scarlet-colored eyes.

    "Howl¡ª"

    The group of mutated beasts rushed over to Chen Feng.

    "Damn."

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly.

    Currently, the only thing he could depend on was Luck Aura!

    However...

    In this situation, would it be useful?

    Luck Aura!

    Activate!

    The Luck Aura was something that operated in ordance with Chen Feng¡¯s will. Otherwise, if his intention was only to release a Wind de yet the Luck Aura was busy working on everything else around them, consuming several hundreds or several thousands of points per second, those few luck values of his would not be enough at all!

    Let meplete the strengthening smoothly!

    Chen Feng chanted inwardly.

    Bang!

    At this, the remaining 5 points of luck declined rapidly. In a sh, all of them were used up. However, the mutated beasts around him were still there.

    "I really did think too much," Chen Feng muttered.

    Is the luck value not enough?

    Chen Feng sighed.

    His sight was failing him while the pain in his body continued. Sensing that the mutated beasts were still rushing toward him and feeling helpless, Chen Feng chose to ignore them and continued his monologue.

    Chen Feng muttered in his heart, I¡¯m near death anyway. What the heck should I be afraid of! I wonder if anyone will actually send me off...

    In his final moments, his consciousness started blurring.

    Vaguely, he seemed to hear the sound of an intense explosion. His body strengthening seemed to havepleted at this moment. The pain in his body finally disappeared. Chen Feng appeared like someone who had soaked in sweat-formed vapor with his whole body drenched wet. With a pale face, he slumped powerlessly onto the ground.

    Sess? Or failure?

    Chen Feng could not feel anything anymore.

    Still in somewhat of a daze, Chen Feng opened his eyes. He thought that he was starting to see things, as a familiar figure could be seen standing in front of him. He winked his eyes. Before he waspletely clear-headed, with difficulty, he managed to miraculously utter these words, "Not t chested indeed."

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying power exploded on his abdomen as Chen Feng was kicked out of the area, knocking into and snapping two trees before he stopped.

    Chen Feng felt an explosion of pain in his body.

    This feeling...

    Chen Feng was suddenly clear headed. "I¡¯m still alive?!"

    That¡¯s right.

    Alive!

    His strength was gradually returning to him.

    Feeling the explosive strength contained in his body and the iparably clear mind of his, he abruptly realized that he had survived the most difficult stage!

    Gene strengthening, sess!

    He survived it!

    Chen Feng was in ecstasy.

    Wait... if this was the case, Chen Feng looked at the familiar-looking silhouette in front of him and immediately inhaled a breath of cold air.

    "Clear-headed now?"

    Wang Yao¡¯s tiny face was looking at him coldly.

    "Yes."

    Chen Feng felt anxious; he was scared that this little girl would take him away.

    "Repeat what you said earlier."

    Wang Yao was boiling with killing intent.

    "I¡¯m sorry."

    Chen Feng repeatedly apologized. Earlier, he had uttered some nonsense as he was not clear-headed. Now, he did not dare to even mention what he said earlier. He did not even dare to say things that would have the slightest chance of expanding upon what he said earlier, such as I won¡¯t dare next time , I was talking nonsense , etc. Basically, earlier, he had seriously courted death.

    Wang Yao snorted coldly. "Hmph!"

    Chen Feng scratched his head. "Why are you here?"

    Facing this person that had saved his life twice, he really did feel somewhat embarrassed.

    "I identally heard the sound of activity here ande over to take a look. Unexpectedly, I actually picked up a living person here," Wang Yao stated indifferently.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He was considered as something picked up off the street by this loli?

    However, he was aware that part of this was due to Luck Aura¡¯s effect. Originally, Wang Yao might have only passed through here directly. However, due to the existence of Luck Aura, it caused her to identally notice this ce.

    The five points of luck values were well spent.

    At this moment, the sound of someone gnashing one¡¯s teeth could be heard.

    "Chen Feng!"

    Chen Feng turned around and was immediately astonished. It was actually Wang Yue!

    Chen Feng was astonished. "Why are you here?"

    "I should be the one asking this question!" Wang Yue was seething with rage. With great difficulty, he had finally managed to pester her toe here and help him kill mutated beasts to increase his spirit attribute. Unexpectedly, just as he arrived, he came across Chen Feng, the bringer of bad luck.

    If he was alone...

    Countless scenes of him torturing Chen Feng started appearing in his head.

    "Me?"

    Chen Feng ignored him. He turned around and looked at Wang Yao¡¯s doubt-filled gaze and exined while he smiled bitterly, "I came here to perform gene strengthening. Unexpectedly, my foundations were too weak, and I almost failed to endure it."

    "Is there anything trash like you is capable of enduring?"

    Wang Yue sneered.

    Is this the truth?

    Wang Yao¡¯s indifferent gaze swept through the corpses in the distance, not saying anything.

    "Anyway, it¡¯s just nice that we meet here."

    Wang Yao nted her tiny head and pondered. "I saved you. Now, you have to help me with something."

    "It is my honor."

    Chen Feng nodded.

    "There¡¯s something in Greenhill Forest that I wanted. However, its restriction was somewhat troublesome. I originally wanted Wang Yue to deal with it. However, he seems to be too much of a piece of trash," Wang Yao said indifferently.

    "Elder sister!"

    Wang Yue felt wronged.

    "???!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s widened his eyes abruptly.

    Damn! Elder sister???

    Looking at Wang Yao¡¯s petite frame before looking at Wang Yue that was at least 170 cm in height, Chen Feng was stupefied. They were actually siblings? And to be elder sister and younger brother?!

    "A small ident."

    Wang Yao did not want to say too much.

    "Understood."

    Chen Feng suppressed the shock in his heart and his desire to know more. As he looked at the killing intent in the little girl¡¯s eyes, he was aware that his life might be in danger if he kept asking.

    "Stop talking nonsense. Do you agree or not?"

    Wang Yue said impatiently, "My sister saved you earlier!"

    "I can¡¯t do it now."

    Chen Feng shook his head. "I can¡¯t remove any restrictions in my current condition. I will be able to do it tomorrow."

    Wang Yao nced at Chen Feng¡¯s body, looking at the worn-out clothes soaked with sweat and his pale face before she slightly nodded. "I¡¯ll find you tomorrow."

    "So troublesome."

    Wang Yue muttered and was red at viciously by Wang Yao.

    Whoosh!

    Light flickered as they soared to the clouds.

    Wang Yao grabbed one of them with each of her hands as she brought Chen Feng and Wang Yue back to the camp. After exchanging contact details with Chen Feng, she took Wang Yue and left.

    Chen Feng felt grateful.

    Although this little girl was always enveloped by killing intent, it was all directed toward her enemies!

    Helping her remove restrictions?

    Chen Feng needed to make his preparations.

    As he returned to the urban district and entered his rented house, he directly slumped onto his bed.

    Too tired!

    Too dangerous!

    Even after saving up 50 points of luck, preparing a bottle of thundersnake gene reagent, and being iparably cautious, he had still met with countless dangers and was almost unable to return to his home. Wanting to improve quickly, the price he had paid was far more terrifying then he had imagined! However, luckily, he had managed to return safely this time.

    The gains this time, on the other hand...

    Chen Feng scanned his gic data.

    ----

    Gene attributes:

    Strength: 50

    Agility: 50

    Physique: 50

    Spirit: 81

    ----

    All-around improvement!

    Compared with the previous him, the current him was on a totally different level.

    The higher the risk, the higher the profit!

    After his near-death trip, his strength, agility and physique, which were originally at 10 points, had reached 50 points. His originally 52 points of spirit had be 81 points. Overall, the increase in his attributes was 149 points! An iparably frightening number!

    "I¡¯m nearing the limit of 100 points."

    Chen Feng was excited.

    It was worth it!

    After removing the restriction for Wang Yao tomorrow, he would make some preparations before continuing to look for some wind fox leaders to kill. He would be able to reach 100 points in a short period of time!

    At that time, the strongest gene...

    He would definitely be able toplete his research on it!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart was burning.

    His luck values were fully exhausted, yet he still needed to help Wang Yao tomorrow. However, he probably wouldn¡¯t need to waste his luck value. With Wang Yao around, who would dare toe and court death?

    He rested peacefully through the night.

    The next day, he reached the camp at Greenhill Forest.

    When he arrived, the Wang siblings were not there yet. However, unexpectedly, he saw Xu Fei¡¯s team there.

 Chapter 48: Becoming a Monk

    Chapter 48: Bing a Monk

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Chen Feng."

    Xu Fei walked over, excited.

    Chen Feng¡¯s mouth twitched. He always felt likeughing whenever he saw Xu Fei¡¯s bald head.

    Xu Fei saw his expression and grudgingly said, "I know you want tough. You don¡¯t have to hold it in."

    "Haha."

    Chen Feng patted his shoulder. "You didn¡¯t use any hair growing reagent?"

    Hair growing reagent was a 1-star F-ss gene reagent. Although it didn¡¯t have any use inbat, it was still extremely popr due to its ability to enable one to grow a beautiful bush of hair on their head in a single day. After that, one would be able to cut one¡¯s hair into any style one wished.

    "It¡¯s useless."

    Xu Fei¡¯s expression was unsightly.

    "He even went to the hospital." Zhou Ling interjected and said while beaming, "The doctor said that his scalp suffered an attack from an unknown power, causing it to be excessively hard, hence his hair not being able to grow at all."

    Chen Feng nced at him pitifully.

    "Hey, don¡¯t talk about this. It ruins the mood."

    Xu Fei waved his hand. "Previously, when you contacted me, I was dealing with the group that ambushed our hearse... pooh, the group that ambushed our flying vehicle. Hence, I didn¡¯t notice the notification. Subsequently, I was busy and forgot about it."

    "No worries." Chen Feng smiled. "I settled my issue."

    "Then it¡¯s good. If there are any problems, you can contact me anytime. If I don¡¯t answer the call, you can also leave a message."

    Chen Feng shook his head. "No major problems."

    Xu Fei was straightforward. "So what are you here at Greenhill Forest for today? Do you need any help?"

    "I have an appointment with a friend."

    "Is it a male or female?"

    Xu Fei asked nosily.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    "Female?" Xu Fei guessed from Chen Feng¡¯s reaction.

    "Su Jin?"

    Xu Fei guessed. "Damn! Brother, you aren¡¯t nning to perform a field operation[1], right?"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Chen Feng sighed. "Wang Yao."

    "Hiss¡ª" Xu Fei inhaled a mouthful of cold air. "You actually acted on her? The Flowers of the Mothend[2]."

    "She is Wang Yue¡¯s elder sister." Chen Feng¡¯s expression turned unsightly as he red viciously at Xu Fei. "Can you not be so perverted?"

    "Elder sister?"

    Xu Fei was dazed.

    Only after a long time did he recovered as he howled, "In other words, kid, you actually found a legal loli? The heavens are unjust, to actually let you..."

    "Whoosh!"

    A familiar looking me appeared.

    The terrifyingly high temperature caused Xu Fei to shut his mouth immediately out of fear as he frantically retreated backward in shock. However, that lump of me still descended upon Xu Fei¡¯s head without any warning.

    "Bang!"

    The sound of an explosion.

    "Female hero, please spare my life," Xu Fei screamed pitifully.

    At this moment, a petite silhouette appeared at the camp¡¯s entrance. It was Wang Yao, who nced at Xu Fei coldly, before finallyying her eyes on Chen Feng.

    "Let¡¯s go," Wang Yao said indifferently.

    "Alright."

    Chen Feng patted Xu Fei¡¯s shoulder. There was only sympathy in his heart as he looked at Xu Fei¡¯s head. Brother, it¡¯s about time you change this defective mouth of yours.

    After they left, Xu Fei opened his screen while shuddering and aimed it at himself. He then stared foolishly at the nine ck dots on his head.

    "Ring scar?"

    "The heck, there¡¯s even nine of them?[3]"

    "I don¡¯t want to be a monk!" Xu Fei screamed mournfully while Zhou Lingughed crazily beside him. "The little girl is asking you to practice the mouth-shutting mantra because your mouth is too lowly."

    "Is there now?"

    "This is a camp. Isn¡¯t fighting prohibited here?!"

    Xu Fei grudgingly looked at thebat robot in the camp. "Are you here as a decoration?"

    "Good day mister."

    Thebat robot¡¯s red eyes flickered before it honestly said, "In ordance to our calction: First, the one who acted did not have any killing intent. Second, the one who acted was too terrifying; if we were to act, it might lead to the camp perishing and everyone here dying. Third, we sent the recordings to the Gic Union. If you want to hold her ountable or if any actual danger was encountered, someone from the upper levels of the Gic Union can be dispatched here. Kindly confirm if that is required?"

    What?

    It might lead to the camp perishing and everyone here dying?

    Xu Fei and his group could feel their soul leaving their body as they trembled in fear. What kind of person was this Wang Yao?!

    This was Greenhill Forest Camp!

    The territory of the Gic Union!

    Even if it was a small camp at the outermostyer of the area, it was still a territory of Gic Union! Wang Yao was actually so terrifying to the point where even thebat robot did not dare to act against her?

    Who was she, exactly?

    Xu Fei suddenly felt that him being alive was totally miraculous.

    Zhou Ling suddenly opened her mouth. "Seems like you really need to practice the mouth-shutting mantra."

    Xu Fei was silent.

    "Kindly confirm if you want to hold her ountable?" the robot was still asking faithfully.

    What the heck can I hold her ountable for?!

    Xu Fei waved his hand before leaving with his team, as they also had their missions to perform today. However, after contemting for a bit, he still decided to send a message to Chen Feng.

    At this time, Chen Feng and Wang Yao hadn¡¯t been gone for long.

    "Hum¡ª"

    The wristband vibrated.

    As Chen Feng looked at it, he was immediately speechless. It was actually a message from Xu Fei: Please apologize to Miss Wang Yao on my behalf. I will practice the mouth-shutting mantra for this whole month.

    Chen Feng showed it to Wang Yao.

    "Although his mouth was somewhat lowly, your friend is very intelligent," Wang Yao said indifferently.

    "Oh?"

    Chen Feng did not expect this.

    "Experts have their dignity as well. Not every one of them is as kind as me." Wang Yao¡¯s expression was apathetic.

    "Oh," Chen Feng answered calmly.

    Although he knew that what Wang Yao said was sensible, for some unknown reason, as he looked at this person with an 11- or 12-years-old appearance earnestly saying such words, he couldn¡¯t help but feel that this was a cute little girl throwing a fit, even if he was aware of how terrifying Wang Yao actually was!

    "I must have gone crazy."

    Chen Feng sighed. It seemed like there were still some aspects of this world he hadn¡¯tpletely epted.

    At this time.

    "Chen Feng!"

    The sound of gnashing teeth could be heard. Wang Yue was ring viciously at him. This Chen Feng actually did not even spare him a look all along, acting as if he was nonexistent!

    This was too excessive!

    "Are we arriving soon?"

    Chen Feng looked into the distance.

    "We have arrived."

    Wang Yao bought them to the depth of the forest. It was said that there was mystical spring water there.

    "Chen Feng!" Wang Yue howled. "You dare to ignore me?"

    Chen Feng looked at him indifferently. "This time, I¡¯m here to help your elder sister. You should just sit tight and act your part as baggage. Don¡¯t spout nonsense. I haven¡¯t settled the incident where you sent someone to ambush me during the examinations. If it wasn¡¯t for your elder sister, do you think you would actually still be alive now?"

    "Shut up!" Wang Yue¡¯s heart leaped as his expression changed greatly.

    "Ambush..." Wang Yao suddenly opened her mouth. "What¡¯s the matter?"

    "Nothing."

    Wang Yue gulped. Damn it, why did he provoke Chen Feng for no reason?

    "You don¡¯t know?" Chen Feng was somewhat astonished before shaking his head. "It doesn¡¯t matter now. It¡¯s all in the past. I am here to help you today, don¡¯t mention those things."

    Wang Yao¡¯s eyes swept through both Chen Feng and Wang Yue before finally saying, "Let¡¯s go."

    Deep inside Greenhill Forest, Chen Feng could already see the flowing spring water.

    "This is the Greenhill Spring."

    In order to make up for his mistake earlier, Wang Yue stated in low voice, "Possessing a certain amount of spirituality, it is a material used for a lot of gene productions. However, our current target is not this. Instead, it is the end point of the Greenhill Spring!"

    "Oh."

    Chen Feng did notment on it.

    As Wang Yue looked at his expression, his anger bubbled.

    The three of them walked along the Greenhill Spring. When they reached the inner zone, they were already enveloped by mist. The visibility was low and an incorporeal restriction blocked their way forward.

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "What is this?"

    Astonished, Chen Feng held his hand out and touched it slightly.

    "Hum¡ª"

    A cloud of mist quivered as Chen Feng¡¯s hand gently bounced off.

    Restriction?

    Chen Feng was shocked.

    Looking at the incorporeal mist floating midair, he knew how powerful the restriction was. The more powerful the blood essence was, the moreplicated the restriction that resulted from it would be!

    However¡ª

    A mist-formed restriction?

    Where was the blood essence?

    "This is a naturally formed restriction." Wang Yao¡¯s cold voice resounded. "This was originally a drop of a mistcloud beast¡¯s blood essence. After years of evolution, the blood essence vaporized and the power within the blood essence fused with the mist around it, forming this peculiar naturally formed restriction. It was even more powerful than ordinary restrictions."

    "So that¡¯s the case," Chen Feng muttered thoughtfully.

    He extended his hand and felt the restriction once again. He entered the digitized mode to find with surprise that the restriction was not overlyplicated at all.

    "Ka!"

    Thecking genes were found and the restriction was removed. He did not even use his luck value on this.

    Whoosh!

    The mist around them scattered quietly, opening a path before them.

    "There doesn¡¯t seem to be anything special here."

    Chen Feng felt doubtful.

    However, as the three of them walked past this restriction, the mist behind them joined once more. That restriction activated again!

    It can actually join automatically? Is it unlimited?

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. So this was the formidable aspect of a naturally formed restriction!

    "The thing I need is at the innermost part of this area."

    Wang Yao took the lead and opened a path before them.

    "Mhm."

    Chen Feng and Wang Yue followed closely behind as they stepped into the depths of the mist.

    Currently, at the Greenhill Camp, an exceptionally equipped team had appeared. It was a team of four with at least three of them wearing obviously unordinary clothes. From the materials of the clothes, it was obvious that these clothes were considerably expensive.

    Only the youngster in the middle of the group looked iparably young and tender.

    "Wu Fan, is it here?" Captain Chang Hu asked.

    "Mhm." Wu Fan was excited. "The gene of the mutated beast I fused is at the misty zone in the depths of Greenhill Forest. I¡¯m currently at 25 points of agility. I only need 75 more points to reach 100 points!"

    "Don¡¯t worry." Chang Hu nodded. "Since we epted your mission, we will definitely allow you to increase your attributes. 10,000 yuan for each point of attribute. 75 points would cost 750,000 yuan in total. The other attributes can be considered as our gift to you. No problem, right?"

    "No problem."

    Wu Fan was excited.

    I can finally improve!

    Although his family was wealthy, unfortunately, his family members were not optimistic about his future. Hence, no specialized training partner was assigned to him. Otherwise, how would he be weaker than Wang Yue?

    Luckily, he could finally put the two years of pocket money he had saved to good use!

    He was now a high school graduate with solid foundations. There was no need to worry that something would go wrong. Even that Wang Yue fellow had sprinted to 80 attribute points, so how could he fall behind? He was especially troubled after the Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain incident. Hence, he decided to spend arge amount of money to boost himself to the peak of F ss.

    There was also that Chen Feng...

    Wu Fan clenched his teeth. The thing he found the most insulting was the fact that they were actually saved by trash that was looked down upon by all their schoolmates. Today, he had to rush himself to the peak of F ss before he proceeded to surpass his limit and step into E ss!

    By then...

    Hmmph.

    "Let¡¯s go."

    Chang Hu looked at the weather. "Although you students have good foundations, your willpower is too weak. Hence, you can only increase 1 or 2 points each time. If you students were to increase too many points at once, you all will start crying in pain for your parents. For you to improve yourself, we need to kill around 40 to 50 suitable mutated beasts. Seems like we have a busy day ahead of us."

    "Thus, be quiet on the road!"

    Chang Hu¡¯s gaze was cold. "Here, there¡¯re not only those low-level mutated beasts that you wanted to use for gene strengthening. There are also other things that are much more terrifying. If any formidable beasts are attracted, we will not be able to take care of you."

    "I know," Wu Fan said impatiently.

    He was not bothered with Chang Hu¡¯s attitude at all.

    A few mere E-ss warriors whose profession was helping others increase their attributes, their profession could be considered as a branch of that lowlyborer profession! 750,000 yuan might appear to be a high amount. However, the three of them needed to work their asses off for a period of time only to end up earning an average of 30,000 yuan per day. What could they achieve with that amount nowadays?

    Amoner would forever remain amoner.

    Inwardly, Wu Fan was full of disdain. Although his family was not as well off as Wang Yue¡¯s family, they were still considered a rich and powerful family. A mere several hundred thousand yuan was not something they would put in their eyes.

    "Be careful, don¡¯t let him act recklessly."

    Chang Hu was still worried as he said in a low voice to Zhang Ling, the only female of their team. "If he starts shouting inconsiderately, seal off the sound. We can¡¯t let any trouble arise."

    Zhang Ling nodded slightly. "Understood."

    "Let¡¯s go."

    Contempt shed in Chang Hu¡¯s eyes.

    He had seen a lot of these so-called young masters. Every single one of them had a heaven-surpassing pride, thinking that with their rich family and them joining a university they would be able to defeat everything under the heavens. It was simply ridiculous.

    They could hire others to help them reach 100 points easily when they were at F ss. However, what could they do after that?

    One needed to know that the limit for F ss was 100 points, while the limit for E-ss was 1,000 points. With that weak willpower of theirs, where they will start shouting in pain when their attribute increase exceeded three points, they were still dreaming of rapid improvement?

    Too naive!

    The resources the wealthy had at their disposal were indeed formidable. It would enable them to improve at a speed higher than an ordinary person. This was an unchanging rule since times immemorial. However, wealth alone was not enough for one to be an expert.

    Furthermore, regardless of gene strengthening, consuming attribute-increasing reagents, or tempering, the attributes could only be increased to the limit!

    Wanting to break through the limit? One still needed to work hard for it!

    These kinds of people that reached the limit through the assistance of others would definitely be stuck when they were trying to break through the limit!

    "Idiot."

    Chang Hu sneered inwardly as the four of them stepped into Greenhill Forest.

    Currently, Chen Feng and his group had reached the depths of the mist.

    When he witnessed with his own eyes how Wang Yao killed a mutated beast without effort and threw it to Wang Yue to perform gene strengthening, he finally understood why the profit for the gold ant gene was so low.

    It was a 5-star form with a high production difficulty. It was a gene reagent that was extremely difficult to produce, yet the effect was nothing spectacr?

    What Mu Yuan said was indeed correct. These F-ss forms with high star ratings were simply a trap. Luckily, his main goal was to increase his star rating. Otherwise, the form was totally not worth choosing.

    Furthermore, these gene reagents could only be used to increase attributes under normal circumstances, and they could only be used once as well. When it came to breaking through one¡¯s limit, it was totally useless.

    Hence, its main target market is those shut-in nerd producers that are toozy to leave their house?

    "It is indeed a form that needs to be phased out."

    Chen Feng sighed.

    Wang Yao looked at Wang Yue. "How much is your spiritual energy now?"

    "81 points." Wang Yue held his head high and looked at Chen Feng proudly. "I told you. After we leave the school, I will surpass you and leave you far behind me. How much is your current spiritual energy?"

    "81 points." Chen Feng was expressionless.

    What?

    Wang Yue froze immediately while Wang Yao also looked at Chen Feng in amazement. She was very clear on Chen Feng¡¯s circumstances. He had also sprinted to 81 points with those circumstances of his?!

    When she recalled that scene of devastation during Chen Feng¡¯s gene strengthening yesterday...

    This Chen Feng is indeed special!

    "How is that possible?"

    Wang Yue nked. "You are spouting nonsense, right?"

    "Shut up." Wang Yao kicked him. "Have you not embarrassed yourself enough?"

    Wang Yue lowered his head.

    Chen Feng only smiled indifferently.

    "Since your spiritual energy has exceeded 80 points, the mutated beasts suitable for your gene strengthening are no longer easy to find. It¡¯s about time for you to go to that ce."

    Wang Yao looked toward the depths of the mist.

    "Scatter!"

    She pointed at the air in front of her.

    The mist around them scattered immediately, and a tunnel appeared in front of them. All the low-leveled restrictions on their way were immediately removed. This... was Wang Yao¡¯s strength!

    Removing restrictions by force!

    Wang Yao pulled her hand back indifferently.

    The group of three stepped forward. Without the obstruction of the mist and the need to kill any mutated beasts, they reached the ce where the spring water originated from in a short period of time. It was a frigid pond with a diameter of several tens of meter. Water streamed down from the summit of the hill into the pond before it streamed down as spring water from the valley.

    In the center of the frigid pond was a lotus radiating with pure and holy-looking light.

    Suddenly.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    An enormous python appeared. With a terrifying killing intent, it rushed toward the three of them. However, before Chen Feng was able to react, he saw red light flickering in Wang Yao¡¯s hand as she grabbed that python before wrenching it into an enormous pile of fried dough twist[1] and casually tossing it away.

    "Bang!"

    The python was smashed onto the ground and lost its consciousness.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    This was the mutated guardian beast of this lotus?

    Chen Feng observed a moment of silence for that python.

    Suddenly, a peculiar fragrance appeared. Chen Feng looked toward the frigid pond and saw faint mist start floating up from the water. Slowly, the mist became denser and swirled around the lotus, forming a naturally formed restriction!

    "It¡¯s here."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped slightly.

    He knew that this was the help Wang Yao needed from him. Although Wang Yao could probably destroy the restriction with force, the lotus would probably get destroyed in the process as well.

    "Let me do it," Chen Feng said softly.

    He was only here to repay the favor since Wang Yao saved his life yesterday. After this matter waspleted, his debt with Wang Yao could be considered to have been cleared. As for Wang Yue?

    Hehehehe.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Radiance swirled around his hands; Chen Feng was about to remove the restriction.

    "Wait." Wang Yao pulled him back.

    Chen Feng was in doubt. "Mhm?"

    Wang Yao slightly shook her head. She walked to the front, raised her right hand, and aimed at that white lotus.

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying strength was instantly unleashed.

    Chen Feng¡¯s mouth was left hanging.

    Damn. Does she want to directly destroy this thing? Why doesn¡¯t this little girl act in ordance withmon sense?

    However, right at this moment, an overcast howl surfaced from the frigid pond. A frightening power spread out of the frigid pond and destroyed Wang Yao¡¯s attack!

    "Rumble!"

    The frigid pond started bubbling while the surface of the pond started shaking.

    Danger!

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed greatly as he hastily retreated.

    The spring water suddenly exploded. "Bang!"

    An enormous monster suddenly emerged from the frigid pond. It had a diameter of 10 meters and its silhouette alone upied half the pond!

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Chen Feng inhaled a mouthful of cold air. This was actually a huge turtle.

    The turtle had a huge body with extraordinary rays of light swirling on its shell, giving it an astonishing appearance. On its green colored skin wereyers uponyers of creases that were unimaginably thick. On its neck, a medal full of stains could be seen hanging. The word "Duma" could be vaguely seen on it.

    "Howl."

    The huge turtle bellowed. Its oppressive voice brought a terrifying pressure with it, akin to the heavens copsing. The spring water that was sshed around from the earlier explosion was condensed in midair, turning into multiple ice arrows that wereunched toward Chen Feng¡¯s group!

    Wang Yao sneered. "Hmmph!"

    "Bang!"

    A sword sh descended.

    A red-colored shockwave spread out and evaporated all the ice arrows.

    "Human..."

    "You dare touch the item that I have been waiting 100 years for?"

    The huge turtle opened its mouth and a dreadful killing intent appeared in its small deep-ck eyes.

    Chen Feng trembled as he heard this. This huge turtle could actually speak? What kind of freak was this!

    "These valuable materials originally belonged to mother nature. When did they be yours?"

    Wang Yao sneered. "Hand it over and I will spare your life."

    "You are courting death!" the huge turtle roared.

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying power was once again unleashed, engulfing the area like a storm.

    Wang Yao was not bothered at all. The red-colored huge sword in her hand flickered and the huge turtle was forcefully suppressed on its original spot. "Chen Feng, I will leave the rest to you."

    "Understood."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    He was aware that it was now the time for him to act.

    "Hum¡ª"

    He stepped forward.

    Clouds and mist drifted before his eyes.

    Whoosh!

    Chen Feng instantly entered the digitized mode.

    At this moment, Chen Feng did not dare to pause. However, the genes he needed to search for in this restriction reached an amount of 2,000 strains, an amount far surpassing all the restrictions he had ever met before! Luckily, Chen Feng¡¯s current spiritual energy had been increased, or else he would not be able to even maintain the activation of the digitized mode!

    Luck Aura, activate!

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    "Bang!"

    The luck value dropped rapidly.

    One point, two points, three points...

    Chen Feng was able to find several hundreds of missing genes in a sh. However, due to the amount of genes he needed to search this time being too high, he could only advance one step at a time.

    One second, two seconds...

    Time passed.

    "How can a little kid like this remove the frigid pond¡¯s restriction?"

    The huge turtle¡¯s eyes were full of disdain.

    In its long years of life, it had seen too many so-called geniuses. It was simply too naive for a mere beginner producer to dream of removing the frigid pond restriction.

    Wang Yao was calm as water. "How would one know without trying?"

    "Trying to break the restriction with force? Be careful of its counter attack," the huge turtle threatened.

    However, right at this moment, a bizarre sound echoed. As the huge turtle turned its head to take a look, it was immediately shocked to find that the frigid pond¡¯s restriction had been removed.

    How many seconds had this taken? Five or six seconds?

    "???"

    The huge turtle was somewhat stupefied. After sleeping for a hundred years, the beginner producers of the current era were already so powerful?

    "Hum¡ª"

    The mist around them dispersed naturally.

    "How is this possible?!"

    The huge turtle finally recovered from its shock and an rmed expression appeared on its face.

    Due to its long life span, it had seen a lot of gene producers. However, it had never seen anyone capable of removing restrictions with such speed, especially not a beginner producer.

    "Not good."

    The huge turtle recovered from its shock. Since the restriction was removed, then that lotus...

    Since it was currently engaged with Wang Yao, the lotus was about to fall into Chen Feng¡¯s hands. It immediately felt anxious.

    That thing!

    For that thing...

    It had waited a hundred years!

    How could it let them take the lotus away easily after a hundred years of wait? Just as it was feeling anxious, suddenly, the turtle was surprised to find that a weak spot had appeared in Wang Yao¡¯s suppression of him! This gave the turtle a short frame of opportunity. This short frame of opportunity was more than sufficient for experts like them!

    It was now.

    The huge turtle roared. "Howl!"

    "Bang!"

    The skies trembled.

    It spat out a ck-colored light globe. The light globe floated in midair with a faint purple radiance flickering out of it. In a split second, the purple radiance engulfed everyone. With the huge turtle as the center, it spread and enveloped everything without distinction. Everything within 100 meters of it, including Wang Yao, was all hit by the attack!

    This was the trump card of the huge turtle¡ªLife and Death Domain.

    "I want to kill¡ª"

    The huge turtle was feeling proud. Just as it prepared to decimate them, it shockingly found that the little girl had already awakened. Immediately, it trembled with fear, grabbed onto the white lotus with its mouth, and quickly fled into the frigid pond.

    The turtle had actually escaped just like that!

    "You finally used this move."

    A smile appeared on Wang Yao¡¯s tiny face.

    Lotus?

    Why would she want that thing?

    The reason she intentionally exposed a weak point was because her actual goal was the turtle¡¯s Life and Death Domain. This was a formidable illusionary attack that required a hundred years of life span as the sacrifice to be activated!

    "Life and Death Domain!"

    "Rise!"

    Wang Yao controlled the dreadful purple globe.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Radiance bloomed from the purple globe as expression of pain started appearing on Chen Feng and Wang Yue¡¯s face.

    "Cage!"

    Wang Yao raised her hands.

    Clumps of energy bloomed one after another from her hands before changing into red strings and surrounding the purple globe. As she did this, the energy emitted by the globe changed from a purple color into a transparent color!

    "It begins."

    Wang Yao¡¯s gaze was calm.

    This was originally a powerful attack. However, she used her formidable spiritual energy to purify the Life and Death Domain, erasing all the negative energy from it. This enabled Wang Yue to experience the huge turtle¡¯s hundred years worth of life and death experiences and its experiences in breaking through its limit, using it as boon for him to break through and increase his power!

    This was her gift to Wang Yue.

    As for Chen Feng...

    Her gaze swept through Chen Feng. This was a fellow that had appeared unexpectedly. A variable.

    "You originally shouldn¡¯t have appeared here."

    "However, since you are here, this is fate."

    Radiance blossomed from Wang Yao¡¯s pair of quick-witted eyes, as if she was able to see through the shackles of time. "How much you are able to experience from this Life and Death Domain will depend on yourself!"

    "Bang!"

    The red light in Wang Yao¡¯s hands shined brightly.

    Life and Death Domain!

    Begin!

    **

    Somewhere within Greenhill Forest, pitiful screams were reverberating.

    A youth possessing somewhat graceful looks, Wu Fan, was currently sprawled on the ground as he struggled unceasingly. His whole body twitched and his face twisted. His situation was remarkably simr to that of someone suffering from torture.

    Chang Hu sighed. "Have you sealed off the sound?"

    "Mhm, sealed." Zhang Ling spread her hands. "It¡¯s not that I want to nag, but why do you need to let him try this?"

    "It¡¯s his own request." Chang Hu felt helpless as well. "Since this young master requested it, do we dare to not let him try? I did not expect him to suffer to such an extent. This is only a three-point increase. I remember that even when you guys increased your attributes by four points in the past, you all didn¡¯t have such a big reaction, right?"

    "He is a person with a different status, after all."

    Zhang Ling shook her head. "Seems liketer we should just increase his attributes by one or two points each time."

    "We can only do that."

    Chang Hu was disappointed. "In theter stages of gene strengthening, the mutated beasts with suitable attributes will be harder to find. Seems like we need to stay a few more days here at Greenhill Forest."

    "How could 750,000 be so easy to earn?"

    Zhang Ling smiled.

    "True."

    Chang Hu spat as greed appeared in his eyes. "If we kill this kid..."

    "Don¡¯t act recklessly."

    Zhang Ling pulled him and said in a low voice, "Have you forgotten how we were almost found out previously? Even though not many people know us in Gold City, we still shouldn¡¯t perform such acts too frequently. Furthermore, this Wu family is not simple as well. You should be careful, lest you kick an iron te[1]."

    "I know."

    Chang Hu felt somewhat regretful. If he were to do that, it would be something that brought him profit without any need for an investment!

    Currently.

    "Ah ah ah ah¡ª"

    The gene strengthening seemed to have reached the final stage. Wu Fan¡¯s scream became even more intense. The few of them covered their ears and frowned. Luckily, they had prepared a method to seal off any sounds. Any sound within a zone of three meters would be trapped within the zone. Otherwise, with the noise made by Wu Fan, every single one of them would die here.

    Only when Wu Fan¡¯s gene strengthening waspleted did Chang Hu stand up.

    "Give him the recovering reagent."

    "Remember. 10,000 per bottle. Profit off him ruthlessly!" Chang Hu said viciously.

    "Wait until he recovered himself before we leave."

    "Alright."

    Zhang Ling nodded.

 Chapter 51: Breaking through the limit!

    Chapter 51: Breaking through the limit!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Currently, at the vicinity of the frigid pool, just as the huge turtle bellowed, both Chen Feng and Wang Yue felt the scene before their eyes flickered and started changing. When it ended, they had both appeared in a brand new world.

    "Where is this?"

    Chen Feng looked around him.

    Wang Yao had disappeared. Wang Yue had also disappeared. Even the frigid pool had disappeared. Currently, everything had disappeared, leaving no trace behind.

    "Howl!"

    A bellow that shook the heavens and earth resounded.

    This was an area immersed in a vast yet ancient aura. Suddenly, a mutated beast that Chen Feng had never seen before appeared. Its four limbs stepped on the ground as a bizarre me swirled around its limbs. This mutated beast was not powerful. However, for unknown reasons, its aura had raised a sense of reverence from the depths of Chen Feng¡¯s heart.

    What is this?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped.

    An unfamiliar ce...

    An unfamiliar mutated beast...

    Is this an illusion?

    Chen Feng suddenly realized.

    "Bang!"

    The me on the mutated beast¡¯s limbs zed as it charged toward Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng fought back and found that this mutated beast¡¯s strength was roughly at the peak of F ss. Although it was somewhat stronger than him, he was still able to put up some sort of resistance against it.

    "Whoosh!"

    Unleashing his Wind des, Chen Feng started battling the beast.

    "This beast is somewhat stupid."

    After unleashing several Wind des, Chen Feng noticed that although this mutated beast was quite powerful, from its slow reaction time, it was quite apparent that the beast¡¯s intelligence was somewhat low.

    "Good chance!"

    Chen Feng controlled his Wind des as the des circled around.

    "Whoosh!"

    Several Wind des arched in a perfect curve midair before ambushing the beast from the back and killing it! Without using any luck value, Chen Feng had managed to kill the beast using his own strength!

    "Hum¡ª"

    The mutated beast turned into a clump of light before it disappeared.

    Subsequently, Chen Feng could feel that the fading light had turned into some sort of power before rushing into Chen Feng¡¯s body and increasing his spirit attribute by one point!

    "Spirit... increased?"

    Chen Feng was shocked.

    Killing a mutated beast in this illusion could actually increase his spiritual energy?

    How was it possible that the huge turtle was so kind? Unless...

    Wang Yao!

    "Why?"

    Chen Feng felt doubtful.

    If Wang Yao had done this previously when she was not aware of his grudges with Wang Yue, it would be understandable. However, he had intentionally mentioned the examinations incident in front of Wang Yao, pointing out his grudge with Wang Yue. Under such circumstances, wouldn¡¯t it be more logical if Wang Yao were to exclude him when she was helping Wang Yue improve his strength?

    Instead, she...

    Wang Yao, Wang Yue, Wang family...

    Chen Feng started thinking about Wang Yao, who currently possessed the appearance of a 11 or 12 years old girl. Suddenly, he felt that there might be a shocking secret he was unaware of in this Wang family.

    They might not be the same type of people after all!

    Chen Feng contemted. He should temporarily see Wang Yao and Wang family as different entities. With this line of thought, a lot of confusing things were suddenly exinable.

    As for now...

    "Howl¡ª"

    Another mutated beast appeared.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. Since there was a benefit to be gained in front of him, he had to grab hold of it.

    "Go!"

    "Whoosh!"

    Wind des were unleashed.

    At the same time, also in an illusionary world, Wang Yue, who had been amply prepared, was also giving his utmost battling mutated beasts. However, as he was currently at the initial stage of his chosen path where he had nearly zerobat power, he could only go all out when he was battling the mutated beasts. A bizarre huge sword appeared in his hands. It was actually the exact same sword that Wang Yao used.

    "Sister¡¯s sword..."

    Wang Yue inhaled deeply.

    "Come!"

    "Bang!"

    He shed downward and started his battle with the mutated beast.

    Both their illusions were synchronous. Wang Yue had his sister¡¯s assistance while Chen Feng had his own methods as well. Both of them had eerily maintained the same killing speed!

    Both their spiritual energies increased constantly!

    After each kill, their spiritual energy would be increased by one point!

    Although the mutated beasts that appeared were getting stronger which in turn had caused their battles to be even more desperate, they continued pushing forth to reach their limit mode.

    Currently, in front of the frigid pond, red light was swirling around Wang Yao. She controlled the glowing globe as she firmly fixed it in midair while allowing the power of the Life and Death Domain to continue taking effect on Chen Feng and Wang Yue.

    "The main show begins."

    A smile appeared on Wang Yao¡¯s delicate tiny face.

    She didn¡¯t work so hard just to help increase Wang Yue¡¯s attributes. The actual usage of Life and Death Domain was to help one break through their limit mode.

    Currently, Wang Yue and Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual energy was increasing rapidly.

    95, 96, 97...

    100 points!

    After killing the final mutated beast, Wang Yue and Chen Feng¡¯s spirit attribute had finally reached the limit mode of F ss, reaching the pinnacle of the ss!

    "Hum¡ª"

    The purple light globe flickered rapidly.

    "Be obedient."

    A cold glint flickered in Wang Yao¡¯s eyes.

    "Bang!"

    Red light blossomed.

    "Make one final contribution before you disappear."

    Wang Yao pointed.

    The purple light globe started to rotate rapidly. Rays of purified light enveloped both Chen Feng and Wang Yao. At this time, within the Life and Death Domain, a change was silently urring.

    "Whoosh!"

    An ice-cold light de brushed past Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    Chen Feng looked at his cloth that was cut open as he was drenched in cold sweat. This strength...

    "Hum¡ª"

    The ground trembled.

    A huge mutated beast walked out of the shadows. The faint pressure it emitted caused Chen Feng to be somewhat astonished. This aura, it seemed to be a E-ss mutated beast!

    "E ss?"

    Chen Feng was somewhat surprised.

    This was an illusion. Hence, there was no thundersnake gene. Here, he could only depend on his own strength to deal with everything thrown at him!

    "Did this thing appear due to me reaching the limit mode?" Chen Feng thought knowingly.

    Both him and Wang Yue had reached the limit mode.

    It was too dangerous for one to attempt to surpass the limit through the pressure brought forth by life-threatening dangers and desperate battles. Hence, Wang Yao had chosen this way to help Wang Yue breakthrough his limit.

    "He is indeed her younger brother."

    Chen Feng shook his head.

    This seemed to be something Wang Yao had prepared for Wang Yue. He was just lucky to be here as well by chance.

    "Battling an E-ss mutated beast and breaking through under pressure?"

    Chen Feng sighed as he looked at the mutated beast in front of him.

    Was it possible?

    He had seen a lot of E-ss mutated beasts. He had even killed a few of them at Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain. Even without the thundersnake gene reagent, with Luck Aura, it was not possible for these beasts to pose any threat to him! From his previous life until now, he had experienced too many near death situations!

    Maybe I should forget that Luck Aura actually exists and try breaking through this way?

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    "Go!"

    Chen Feng nned to give it a try using his purebat power alone.

    "Whoosh!"

    Wind des were unleashed.

    Chen Feng started battling the mutated beast.

    Outside the illusionary world, Wang Yao frowned. Something seems to be wrong?

    She was aware of what kind of person her brother was. It was due to his weak willpower that she had decided to use this method to increase Wang Yue¡¯s level and willpower! Instead, this variable known as Chen Feng was the one possessing talent and willpower far surpassing her brother Wang Yue!

    However...

    In the Life and Death Domain, the signs of breakthrough had actually appeared on Wang Yue first!

    It appeared on that idiotic brother of her!

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    The battle was progressing.

    Wang Yue was involved in an extremely bitter battle. He was aware that this was something that his sister had fought for him. However, possibly due to Chen Feng¡¯s existence, he had started to be harsh on himself. Not wanting to lose out to Chen Feng, he started putting everything he had on the line to battle the mutated beasts, constantly pushing himself forward!

    Wang Yue¡¯s bottleneck was tottering!

    A breakthrough might happen anytime!

    On the other hand, there were no signs of a breakthrough on Chen Feng.

    "Weird."

    Wang Yao muttered.

    "Have I looked too highly upon you?"

    A tinge of doubt flickered in Wang Yao¡¯s eyes.

    However, she failed to guess that the reason for Chen Feng not breaking through was not due to his willpower being not firm enough. Instead, it was due to his willpower being too firm!

    In the illusion.

    The desperate battle that was supposed to happen did not appear. Slowly, Chen Feng started to gain the upper hand. In midair, several tens of Wind des hovered. Unexpectedly, none of them had dispersed. Along with Chen Feng¡¯s continuous release, the amount of Wind des increased constantly. Under the control of his spiritual energy, they hovered around him.

    It was akin to a dance of Wind des.

    Even if the E-ss mutated beast was stronger than Chen Feng, it couldn¡¯t get near him at all.

    The strength of this mutated beast was not bad at all. With the strength attribute nearing 300 points, it was extremely terrifying. However, so what? Due to it being dull, its movements were somewhat clumsy. Chen Feng could easily evade the beast. Under his control, the amount of Wind des hovering around him increased.

    He was sure that when the amount of Wind des exceeded 100, he only need tounch all of them onto this mutated beast and it would probably be enough to heavily injure it.

    Crisis?

    Where was the crisis?!

    Chen Feng¡¯s head ached as he felt troubled. In this situation, he felt quite helpless.

    He was aware that this illusion was a good opportunity for him to break through. However, it really failed to give him even the slightest bit of pressure!

    Furthermore, he was too rational, to the point where he was aware that everything in front of him was an illusion regardless of how real it seemed. He was so rational that he was aware that he could defeat this E-ss mutated beast with his power alone without even using his luck value!

    "Seems like I won¡¯t be able to break through."

    Chen Feng sighed.

    Too weak!

    This Life and Death Domain was in essence something specially prepared to serve Wang Yue!

    If the mutated beasts in the illusion were too powerful, it could lead to Wang Yue¡¯s death. Hence, after being purified by Wang Yao, it was weakened to a certain extent, which lead to this domain being incapable of satisfying Chen Feng¡¯s requirements.

    Surpassing his limit in the midst of crisis and danger?

    He did not even feel any sense of crisis. How the heck was he supposed to break through?

    "Howl!"

    The mutated beast tried to advance.

    Chen Feng casually chose several tens of Wind des among those hovering around him and tossed them out. With this alone, he had sessfully forced the mutated beast to retreat. The Wind des curved perfectly before returning to him and continued hovering around him.

    "I will just pretend this is a Wind de practice."

    Chen Feng could onlyfort himself this way.

    In actuality, he was already very satisfied.

    He originally came to return Wang Yao¡¯s favor of saving his life. He did not expect to have the opportunity to ride along Wang Yue¡¯s benefit and have his spirit attribute increased to 100 points!

    This could be ssified as an unexpected gain!

    Now...

    He only needed to wait for the illusion to end and he could return home and start producing the strongest gene.

    At this thought, he became even more halfhearted when battling the beast.

    At the same time, the aura of Wang Yue was slowly transforming.

    Chapter 52: You All Must Have Gone Insane

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "You are almost there?"

    A faint smile curled on the corner of Wang Yao¡¯s lips.

    Seems like this brother of mine is not some hopeless trash after all. There is a reason, after all, for the Wang family to prioritize on nurturing him. As for Chen Feng...

    "You can¡¯t even grasp this opportunity?"

    Wang Yao shook her head, feeling somewhat regretful.

    Due to the incident at Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain, she had looked highly upon Chen Feng. Hence, she dragged Chen Feng into the Life and Death Domain as well. Unexpectedly...

    "Ka!"

    A crisp sound.

    A bizarre sound spread from the distance.

    There¡¯s someone else here?

    Wang Yao looked at the Chen Feng and Wang Yue that were still in the illusion and frowned. This was a somewhat bad turn of events. In order to maintain the illusion, she could not act on anyone else. Otherwise...

    Thump thump!

    Sounds of chaotic footsteps could be heard. A group of people appeared without trying to conceal themselves. When they saw Wang Yao, both sides nked.

    "It¡¯s you?"

    Wang Yao remembered.

    Wu Fan, a ssmate of her brother¡¯s. She had seen him before at Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain.

    "Wang Yao?"

    Wu Fan¡¯s expression changed slightly.

    How would hee across Wang Yao at this time? As he turn around and looked at the Chen Feng and Wang Yue that were in an illusion, he understood, "You are helping them to breakthrough?"

    "Leave."

    Wang Yao nced at them coldly and did not say anything else.

    "You know her?" Chang Hu looked at Wu Fan, who was in fear.

    "Someone from the Wang family."

    Wu Fan said in a low voice, "Let¡¯s go."

    Subconsciously, he wanted to leave with his group immediately. He originally came because he thought that there were some treasures here due to the mysterious appearance of this ce. He did not expect to meet these people here. How unlucky!

    However, somewhat exceeding his expectations, Chang Hu did not listen to him. Instead, he was staring at Wang Yao greedily.

    "She is someone from the Wang family?" Chang Hu suddenly asked.

    "You must have gone insane!" Wu Fan was trembling with fear. "This woman¡¯s strength is extremely terrifying."

    "Why should we be afraid of a brat?"

    Chang Hu sneered. Terrifying? Does a mere F-ss warrior like you know what true terror is?

    "She must have quite a lot of treasures on her, right?" Chang Hu licked his dry lips and said greedily, "No matter how strong she is, what¡¯s the point? In her current state, she can¡¯t budge at all. Otherwise, those two fellows will definitely be crippled! As long as we don¡¯t act too excessively, she will definitely not make her move! How can we let go of such a good opportunity?"

    Wu Fan retreated in fear. "You are insane."

    Robbing Wang Yao?

    How ignorant was this guy?

    However, Chang Hu¡¯s words reminded him of something.

    ording to what his family had told him, the Wang family put a lot of hope on Wang Yue. They had even prepared a certain formidable E-ss gene reagent for him! Since he was currently trying to break through, that gene reagent might be on his body? If he were to obtain that thing for himself...

    The one who rose in power abruptly would not be Wang Yue but him instead?

    As for Wang Yao...

    She wouldn¡¯t dare to kill in the town, right?

    There was a saying that a benefit of 300% would tempt a person to ignore thew! Now, if this information he¡¯d gotten was true, after robbing Wang Yue, the benefit would be 10,000%!

    Wang Yao could not move!

    Was there any better opportunity than this?

    No!

    As for the Wu family?

    They can go f*ck themselves. Who cares?

    If the Wu family was willing to nurture him, would he still need to hire someone to help him increase his attributes? At worst, he only needed to rob the thing he wanted before fleeing! When he became stronger, he could return again!

    That¡¯s right!

    That gene reagent...

    Wu Fan was thoroughly tempted.

    Under the temptation of a huge benefit, he was under the impression that he had everything nned out. However, the current him that was still a student was too naive. He was not aware of the significance of the power demonstrated by Wang Yao at Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain.

    "Hand over everything on you."

    Wu Fan opened his mouth as he looked at Wang Yao. "We won¡¯t hurt anyone. Hence, you don¡¯t have to give up on the both of them to fight against us. We only want your things and won¡¯t hurt anyone!"

    A cold expression appeared on Wang Yao¡¯s tiny face. "You are courting death."

    "We only want your things!" Wu Fan clenched his teeth. "If you continue hesitating, don¡¯t me us for being rough."

    "Why are you spouting so much nonsense?" Chang Hu sneered. "Just rob them directly."

    "Don¡¯t act recklessly." Zhang Ling pulled him back. She could see that something seemed wrong with that little girl. "Wu Fan might be right. If someone got hurt and the little girl makes her move without caring about everything else, we might really die here!"

    "Is that true?"

    Chang Hu stared at Wang Yao for a while before nodding his head in fear of the consequences.

    "Hand over your stuff. Otherwise, I will kill this kid first!"

    Chang Hu pointed at Wang Yue, a malevolent expression on his face. He¡¯d had enough of these young masters. Today, he shall rob this wealthy family!

    "Don¡¯t drag this on." Chang Hu sneered. "Otherwise, I will remove one of his arms first."

    Wang Yao looked at them coldly before finally agreeing. "I¡¯ll give you what you want."

    "Zhang Ling, you go." Chang Hu told Zhang Ling to go over.

    "Mhm." Zhang Ling took small quick steps and walked over before she started taking out the things from the little bag on Wang Yao¡¯s waist. As she looked at Wang Yao¡¯s indifferent gaze, her whole body started sweating, not daring to stay an extra second there.

    Within the small bag...

    "This is..."

    Everyone was stunned as they look at the reagents inside! This little girl was actually carrying so many things on her! Furthermore, most of them were invaluable reagents.

    "Now we¡¯re rich."

    Chang Hu and the rest were speechless.

    The few of them started dividing the loot, not noticing the cold glint hidden within Wang Yao¡¯s eyes. Was she a person one could rob so easily?

    She had decided that as soon as Wang Yue and Chen Feng woke, she would let them suffer a fate worse than death!

    At the same time, Wu Fan walked forward as well and pulled the things off Wang Yue directly. Currently, the aura of Wang Yue was changing constantly. Evidently, he was near a breakthrough.

    "Leave quickly!"

    "He is almost done breaking through."

    Wu Fan was excited as he looked at the reagent in his hands.

    "Let¡¯s search that person as well."

    Chang Hu pointed at Chen Feng and said, "Leave immediately after getting his stuff."

    "Faster."

    Wu Fan was somewhat impatient. What good things could Chen Feng have?

    He was a mere poor peasant.

    However, beyond everyone¡¯s expectations, the instant that person touched Chen Feng, Chen Feng¡¯s closed eyes opened abruptly and sent the person flying away with a kick.

    "Who is it?" Chen Feng shouted coldly.

    He had awoken.

    Wang Yao looked at Chen Feng in astonishment. He had actually woken himself before the illusion ended?

    How was that possible?

    The so-called final limit breakthrough in the Life and Death Domain was basically one getting ravaged and pressured by a powerful final boss, forcing one to breakthrough.

    Even if one were killed in the illusion, one would be resurrected!

    Now¡ª

    He had actually awoken?

    Wang Yao was astonished.

    Presently, Chen Feng was coldly staring at the group that appeared before him. The moment someone touched him, he instantly unleashed all his collected Wind des and killed that mutated beast before directly returning to reality!

    This was due to him constantly maintaining a high vignce!

    He was not only on guard against his enemies...

    He was also on guard against Wang Yao and Wang Yue!

    Even if he now somewhat understood the type of person Wang Yao was, he would not entrust his life to others, especially under the circumstances where Wang Yue was also there.

    Hence, he was prepared!

    He did not expect that the ones messing around were actually these people before him. As he looked at the things in Wu Fan and Chang Hu¡¯s hands, he understood what had happened.

    "You all actually dare to rob us?"

    Chen Feng was stupefied.

    This was truly his first reaction.

    Unexpectedly!

    There was someone!

    Who dared to rob Wang Yao?!

    They must have gone insane!

    His thoughts were reinforced when he looked at Wu Fan. Now, he was sure that this child was hopeless. Even if the incident where Wang Yao saved him before was not taken into consideration, just based on Wang Yao¡¯s strength that was capable of fighting against their headmaster, was she someone a student like Wu Fan could act against?

    This child was totally courting disaster!

    "You actually woke up?"

    Wu Fan felt something amiss and called out to Chang Hu, "Let¡¯s leave quickly."

    "Why should we leave?" Chang Hu said in disdain, "If we don¡¯t kill this kid and instead give him the chance to notify the Wang family, can we still leave?"

    "But..."

    Wu Fan hesitated. Chen Feng had saved his life after all.

    However, soon, his expression became vicious. Even if he saved him, so what? For this gene reagent, to be an expert in the future...

    Chen Feng had to die!

 Chapter 53: Gene Virus

    Chapter 53: Gene Virus

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "End this quickly."

    Chang Hu ordered.

    Three E-ss gic warriors charged against Chen Feng.

    Three E ss against one F ss?

    This was an unfair battle!

    "Whoosh!"

    The three of them charged against Chen Feng.

    "Ah."

    Chen Feng merely sneered.

    He recalled that when he was with Xu Fei¡¯s group previously, he assumed the identity of a beginner gene producer. This pitiful child had probably never seen the methods he had at his disposal, right?

    "This time, let me educate you a little," Chen Feng muttered.

    "Come ept your death!"

    Zhang Ling¡¯s main attribute was agility. With her fast speed, she was the first to reach Chen Feng. Her speed was the fastest, while her attack was also the most violent. When fighting against low-level producers like Chen Feng, she would normally insta-kill them!

    Whoosh!

    A cold glint flickered.

    Against everyone¡¯s expectations, at this instant, Chen Feng started unleashing his power.

    "Go!"

    Chen Feng pointed.

    "Whoosh!"

    A session of Wind des was released from his hand.

    10bo release!

    "Be careful!"

    Chang Hu cried out in rm.

    Zhang Ling, who was already in front of Chen Feng, did not even have enough time to mount her defense. She could only watch with her eyes wide open as one Wind de after anothernded on her body, carving one deep scar after another on her body!

    One of those scars was carved on her neck as blood sttered out of it.

    Dead!

    Zhang Ling was killed just like that.

    The fragrance diminished and the jade perished. [1]

    Everyone else was shocked. An E-ss warrior was killed just like that?

    It was outside of everyone¡¯s expectations!

    Wu Fan was dumbstruck. He did not dare to believe that the Chen Feng that had only relied on his gene reagents could actually be so terrifying now!

    "Next."

    A cold smile curled on Chen Feng¡¯s mouth.

    100 points of spiritual energy! This feels awesome!

    With his spiritual energy rising rapidly from 32 points to 100 points, hisbat power had also increased exponentially. The might of his unlimited Wind des had also reached a shocking level! If it was an intermediate-level E-ss warrior, he might be scared to provoke them. However, a few E-ss warriors that were obviously on the weaker end of the ss...

    What the heck were they to Chen Feng?

    "Ling Er[2]!"

    With an indignant roar, another person from Chang Hu¡¯s team charged toward Chen Feng.

    "Go."

    Chen Feng waved his hand indifferently.

    "Hum¡ª"

    His chain attacks were instantly unleashed!

    "Do you think that I, your father, am scared of you?" that person bellowed.

    "Bang!"

    Lumps of azure-colored ice crystals condensed on his right hand as he viciously smashed against the Wind des in midair. At this moment, a terrifying power was released from the momentum of his attack.

    2-star secret art, Ice Fist.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    Ten Wind des were instantly destroyed as that person¡¯s malevolent expression appeared. "If it wasn¡¯t for your sneak attack, do you think you would have been capable of killing Ling Er? A mere F ss, let I, your father, help you repay this debt with your blood..."

    "Be careful!"

    Chang Hu cried out in rm.

    "What?"

    That person abruptly turned around before he horrifyingly found that, at an unknown time, the few Wind des that killed Zhang Ling earlier had not dispersed. Instead, they curved and were turning back! Every single one of those Wind des was moving at a horrifying speed, rushing toward him from behind.

    "Damn it!"

    He hastily turned around to block the attacks.

    "Bang!"

    Another punch wasunched. Ice crystals sttered around.

    He had finally shattered the Wind des. However, the same moment when he turned around to face the Wind des behind him, another ten Wind des were released from Chen Feng¡¯s hand, piercing through him alive!

    "You..."

    He stared at Chen Feng with an inconceivable expression on his face.

    Ten Wind des?

    Followed by another 10 of them?

    And followed by another 10 of them?

    What cursed ability was this?

    "Hehe."

    Chen Feng merely smiled faintly before looking toward Chang Hu. "So it seems that you¡¯re the only one left?"

    Chang Hu¡¯s expression was unsightly.

    Producer?

    What f*cking producer was this!

    Did your family¡¯s producer possess such powerfulbat power?

    Killing one person per second!

    In a short two seconds, his twopanions, one with agility reaching 300 points and the other with strength reaching 260 points, both E-ss warriors, were gone just like that!

    Dying at the hands of an F ss?

    How was that possible?

    "Who the heck are you?" Chang Hu bellowed in fear.

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "Chen Feng. A beginner producer."

    "F*ck producer!" Chang Hu bellowed. "I refuse to believe that I can¡¯t kill you today. As long as I kill you, everything here belongs to me. Even if there¡¯s Wang family and Wu family, I, your father, only needs to leave Gold City. I do not fear you lot!"

    "Ka!"

    "Ka!"

    Chang Hu¡¯s body started swelling while his skin started turning into gold color, resembling a Vajrapani[3].

    "Wanting to kill me?"

    "Come!" Chang Hu bellowed.

    "Bang!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s Wind des descended upon him. However, no injuries whatsoever were inflicted. Instead, only shallow white-colored scars were left on him.

    "Haha. Only this much power?" Chang Huughed wildly. "My physique is at 450 points. With my gic ability, I am unkible. Even if you are peak F ss, your spirit is only at 100 points. No matter how powerful your gic ability is, you won¡¯t be able to break through my defense!"

    "Is that so?"

    Chen Feng merely sneered.

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    A session of Wind des were condensed without stop in Chen Feng¡¯s hands as the Wind des floated around him, forming a dance of Wind des, akin to leaves falling from a tree, spinning unceasingly.

    "Dang! Dang!"

    Several Wind des descended yet no injuries were left on Chang Hu¡¯s body. It was not only due to Chang Hu¡¯s valiant physique. It was alsorgely due to Chang Hu¡¯s gic ability!

    "What can you do to me?" Chang Hu said in disdain.

    "Is that so?" Chen Feng smiled faintly. "That¡¯s quite a powerful ability you have there. How long can you maintain its activation?"

    Chang Hu¡¯s expression changed slightly.

    "Trying to provoke me into anger so that I will put my life on the line against you now? Hehe. There¡¯s no rush. I¡¯m not in a rush to leave anyway. Mhm, let me think..."

    "Imagine the scene when the duration of your gic ability ends or when Wang Yue finally wakes up?" Chen Feng smiled. "What a beautiful scene."

    "Damn it!"

    Chang Hu¡¯s expression was unsightly.

    His provocations failed to work. How were the students nowadays so sly? It was as Chen Feng said. Chen Feng could afford to drag it out. He, on the other hand, could not afford it!

    "You are the one who forced me to do this."

    Chang Hu inhaled deeply. "Originally, I wasn¡¯t willing to use this move."

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah..."

    Chang Hu suddenly consumed some kind of liquid, raised his head upward, and started hissing. At this moment, an astonishing scene unfolded.

    The sky turned dark.

    The sunny and cloudless sky turned a blood-red color.

    A blood-red moon appeared in the sky as a terrifying aura was emitted from Chang Hu¡¯s body. This was definitely not an aura a normal E-ss warrior possessed!

    "Blood moon?!"

    Wang Yao¡¯s expression became solemn.

    "Blood moon?"

    Chen Feng was somewhat surprised.

    "It¡¯s a type of gic virus." Wang Yao¡¯s tiny face was grave. "In a human¡¯s body, there is boundless potential. This virus works by crushing one¡¯s genes forcefully and increases one¡¯s power by a wide margin for a short period of time. Ultimately, it might bring forth side effects such as one¡¯s attributes decreasing permanently, losing one¡¯s gic ability, etc. Of course, there¡¯s also a possibility that one would only lose some unimportant genes."

    Chen Feng was shocked. "Such a reagent actually exists?"

    "Yes. However, gene viruses like these are all prohibited items." Wang Yao reminded Chen Feng, "This thing is very powerful and extremely terrifying. It is something that the use of is banned! I don¡¯t know how this guy got his hands on one. You have to be careful."

    "Virus..."

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

    During the virus¡¯s activation, he had tried attacking Chang Hu. However, there was no effect on him. Every Wind des could only leave behind shallow white scars on his body. If he wanted to put an end to him, he needed to wait until the duration of Chang Hu¡¯s gic ability ended. At this time, Chang Hu had recovered from the bizarre state he was in a moment ago.

    "Are you surprised?"

    Chang Huughed nastily with sunken eyes.

    "Bang!"

    A gush of power rumbled in his body.

    "What a perfect power," Chang Hu mumbled.

    "After using this item, even if you win the fight, you will be crippled," Chen Feng said indifferently.

    "So what?" Chang Hu grinned. "After killing you, I will escape with all the things here. Who can control me? With these things, in the future, even if I stop cultivating I will still be able to rule a small area."

    "You think I can¡¯t do anything to you?"

    "Hehe, naive."

    "From this moment, this is my domain!"

    Chang Huughed wildly.

    "Is that so?" Chen Feng sneered. "Let¡¯s give it a try then."

    The gold light on Chang Hu¡¯s body faded. As hepleted his transformation, his Vajaprani gic ability had quietly disappeared.

    "Now!"

    A cold glint flickered in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    "Hum¡ª"

    All the Wind des congregated beside Chen Feng.

    A dance of gales!

    "Bang!"

    All the Wind des swarmed Chang Hu.

    The near 100 Wind des that Chen Feng was controlling were unleashed at this instant. Azure colored des filled the skies as they swarmed Chang Hu, appearing extremely terrifying. He believed that regardless of how powerful Chang Hu¡¯s defense was, after receiving the concentrated attacks of so many Wind des on the same spot, he would be injured!

    However, Chang Hu merely smiled malevolently.

    "Break for me!"

    "Bang!"

    Chang Hu made his move.

    "Hum¡ª"

    An astonishing power blossomed from Chang Hu¡¯s hands.

    "Bang!"

    He punched out slowly, yet the effect was earth shattering.

    "Bang!"

    Loud sound.

    All the Wind des were instantly crushed. The near 100 azure-colored des that appeared so imposing with its quantity so high they engulfed the heavens and earth were gone just like that!

    Chang Hu sneered. "Too weak."

    In the sky, the blood moon shone brightly.

    Chen Feng could distinctly feel that the space around Chang Hu was warping. Was it due to the power of the blood moon being too powerful, hence the power overflowed from his body?

    Chen Feng stared at the sky. He was looking for a weak point.

    Regardless of how powerful the power of the blood moon was, it was impossible for it to affect this world! It could only affect the few of them here and this small area!

    This blood-red world might even be a false appearance brought forth by the formidable power of the blood moon!

    That blood moon in the sky was certainly fake as well!

    How should he solve this?

    Chen Feng gazed at the blood moon.

    However, Chang Hu did not give Chen Feng an opportunity to think. After smashing Chen Feng¡¯s Wind des with his punch, he looked at Chen Feng with a malevolent expression on his face as his killing intent leaked.

    "I told you. This is my domain!"

    "Now."

    "Go and die for me!"

    "Whoosh!"

    Chang Hu showed his savageness immediately.

    Chapter 54: Virus Killer!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Bang!"

    A dreadful power condensed in Chang Hu¡¯s hands.

    A power far exceeding E ss emerged. It wasn¡¯t any weaker than the power of Dragon 1 or Dragon 2 that Chen Feng had met previously. At this moment, the condensed power was being aimed toward Chen Feng.

    "Chen Feng!"

    Wang Yao¡¯s expression changed slightly.

    Wang Yue¡¯s breakthrough was still in progress. Hence, she was unable to interrupt the battle.

    "Bang!"

    A dazzling white radiance erupted.

    It¡¯s over.

    Wang Yao sighed.

    For an unknown reason, an indescribable sense of loss had surfaced in her heart.

    This variable... is going to disappear? she muttered inwardly and subconsciously looked toward the spot Chen Feng was at. However, she found with surprise that Chen Feng was still standing there, firm and upright!

    Chen Feng was still alive?

    Wang Yao¡¯s tiny mouth was left hanging as she was somewhat shocked.

    Chen Feng was really alive!

    He stood there calmly without a trace of emotion on his face. In front of him, the Chang Hu that was supposed to decimate Chen Feng with a punch was instead kneeling in front of him.

    A deep crater had appeared on the ground due to Chang Hu¡¯s punch!

    What happened?

    No one knew.

    Even Wang Yao, who was always able to see through everything, was somewhat muddle-headed.

    "How is this possible?" Chang Hu growled, unable to ept this.

    "Hehe."

    A smiled curled on the corner of Chen Feng¡¯s mouth. He bent over and whispered in Chang Hu¡¯s ear, "Is it unexpected? Is it surprising?"

    "I will kill you!" Chang Hu bellowed.

    A terrifying power emerged once again, yet...

    He couldn¡¯t move anymore!

    His legs had been broken.

    His hands had been crippled.

    It waspletely out of his expectations that the genes that were first destroyed by the gene virus would actually be the genes in his hands and legs, crippling him as a result! As a physique-type warrior, when the genes in his hands and legs ruptured, he would be no different than a cripple!

    How could it...

    Chang Hu copsed emotionally.

    Wasn¡¯t it said that the probability of this happening was very low?

    Wasn¡¯t it said that although the gic degeneration was in ordance to the situation, however, due to the existence of high gene attributes and gene abilities that make up of 99.9% of the genes within one¡¯s body, even if the genes were to degenerate, it would start from those genes? Even if it was not those genes, why would it start from his hands and legs instead of others?

    Why?!

    Chang Hu could not understand.

    "You won¡¯t understand."

    A smile curled on the corner of Chen Feng¡¯s mouth.

    When he was made aware that the gene virus was a gene reagent whose usage was akin to gambling, he knew that Chang Hu would no longer stand up!

    "Let¡¯s end this."

    Chen Feng raised his hand.

    "Whoosh!"

    A Wind de flickered.

    Chang Hu was killed.

    Chen Feng patted the dust off his clothes and looked at the only remaining person¡ªWu Fan.

    "Then, it¡¯s your turn?"

    Chen Feng smiled.

    "Don¡¯t kill me."

    Wu Fan was in a panic. The current Chen Feng in his eyes was akin to a demon.

    Killing two gic warriors instantly. Even Chang Hu, whosebat power had increased widely due to the consumption of the gic virus, wasn¡¯t his opponent. How could he be Chen Feng¡¯s opponent?

    He was only a student!

    "It was my mistake."

    Wu Fan spoke incoherently, "I only nned to rob the items before escaping. I never nned to kill anyone. You can¡¯t kill me as well. If you want my stuff, I will give it all to you. However much money you want, I will be able to give it to you."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Was the IQ of Gold City High School students so low?

    Chen Feng shook his head.

    If his brain was really working properly, how would he dare to rob Wang Yao?

    "Hum¡ª"

    Chen Feng slowly raised his hand.

    "I¡¯m someone from the Wu family."

    "My cousin, he is very strong!"

    "My other cousin, she is very powerful too!"

    "It will be very troublesome for you if you kill me."

    "I¡¯m telling you the truth..."

    "You dislike trouble, right?"

    Wu Fan was emotionally copsing as he looked at Chen Feng, who was gradually nearing him. "Don¡¯t kill me. Really, don¡¯t kill me. I know I am in the wrong. You can¡¯t kill me. Our Wu family is very powerful."

    "Ah ah ah ah¡ª"

    Wu Fan retreated in fear and begged in every way he could think of. "Chen Feng, you are only an ordinary person. There is no need for you to be our Wu family¡¯s enemy, right? I will pay you, all right?"

    "Hehe." Chen Feng shook his head and smiled.

    "Just end this."

    He waved his hand calmly.

    Whoosh!

    A Wind de flickered.

    Blood sttered.

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression was terrifyingly calm.

    What could he expect from one who could even act against the one who had saved his life? He was sure that if he let Wu Fan off, what followed would be the real trouble!

    Chen Feng pped as he looked at the sky. The blood red skies had disappeared.

    Everything had ended.

    "For you to kill Wu Fan like this... aren¡¯t you afraid of the Wu family?"

    Curiosity shed in Wang Yao¡¯s eyes.

    "Wu Fan?" A confused expression appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "Who¡¯s that?"

    "Pfftt."

    Wang Yaoughed to the point where her quick-witted eyes curved into a crescent moon shape, looking extremely alluring.

    "I have a question for you as well." Chen Feng suddenly asked, "If they were reckless enough to try to make a move on you?"

    "Mhm..."

    Wang Yao skewed her head as she thought before regretfully saying, "I suppose the Wang family will have to support Wang Yue¡¯s living for the rest of his life then."

    "Haha."

    Chen Fengughed heartily.

    Wang Yao indeed!

    She¡¯d rather Wang Yue be a cripple so that she could kill those people?

    It was probable!

    He was now sure that this Wang Yao was definitely not an ordinary person. Although she treated Wang Yue kindly, Chen Feng could not see a trace of warmth in her eyes.

    That feeling...

    Was very bizarre.

    Wang Yao... who was she actually?

    They were obviously siblings, obviously...

    Chen Feng concluded that with her there was definitely a huge secret.

    However, who didn¡¯t have a secret?

    Chen Feng grinned.

    After a long time, the aura around Wang Yue started trembling. A formidable power abruptly emerged as the illusion shattered at this moment. Wang Yue... returned!

    "Bang!"

    The purple globe shattered.

    "Haha. I really broke through."

    Wang Yue was in ecstasy.

    When he turned around and saw how Chen Feng had already awoken, he instantly understood what happened. "You didn¡¯t manage to breakthrough your limit, right?"

    He sensed the aura on Chen Feng¡¯s body. He was still in F-ss indeed!

    "Hehe."

    Wang Yue was feeling proud of himself, "Even if you caught up to me in spirit attribute, so what? The one who broke through and stepped into E-ss first is still me! As long as I sessfully fuse with that gene¡ª"

    "Bang!"

    Wang Yao sent him flying with a kick.

    "Sister!"

    Wang Yue felt wronged. His performance this time was obviously better than Chen Feng¡¯s. Why did she hit him?

    Wang Yao looked at the scene in front of them and said indifferently. "Haven¡¯t you embarrassed yourself enough?"

    Only now did Wang Yue notice the mess in front of them and the few corpses there and knew that something might have happened earlier.

    "Let¡¯s go." Wang Yao did not exin.

    "?" Wang Yue was stupefied.

    Chen Feng ignored him as well. He had exhausted a huge amount of spiritual energy earlier. Taking this opportunity, he recovered his spiritual energy. Beside of the frigid pond, he picked up a weird item.

    "It¡¯s the medal."

    Chen Feng casually grabbed it as he walked past.

    This was something on the huge turtle¡¯s body.

    Duma...

    Chen Feng pondered.

    Was that the name of the huge turtle? Or was it...

    He shook his head.

    He wasn¡¯t bothered and kept that item for himself. He rested there for a short while and waited for his mental state to recover before Wang Yao brought them back to Greenhill Forest Camp.

    "Goodbye."

    Since he had returned the favor from yesterday, Chen Feng did not want to have anything else to do with them.

    "Wait," Wang Yao said suddenly.

    Chen Feng was somewhat surprised. "What is it?"

    Wang Yao wrinkled her delicate nose and pondered for a bit before saying, "Follow me."

    As she said that, she brought Chen Feng out.

    "Sister?" Wang Yue had a stupid expression on his face.

    He was the one who had broken through to reach E-ss. Why was his sister¡¯s attitude toward Chen Feng so weird? Had something happened when he was breaking through earlier?

    Wang Yue was immensely confused.

    Currently, outside the camp, Wang Yao scanned their surroundings with her spiritual energy. After confirming that there were no others around, she looked at Chen Feng and a smiling expression appeared in her eyes. "I was originally uncertain. However, from your performance today..."

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "What is it?"

    "The seadragon blood essence, you have it, right?" Wang Yao said suddenly.

    ?!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped fiercely.

 Chapter 55: Who Are You?

    Chapter 55: Who Are You?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "What did you say?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped. However, no trace of nervousness was exposed on his face. Instead, he looked at Wang Yao with a surprised expression and said, "How is that possible? Back then, I didn¡¯t even enter the sea."

    "I knew you wouldn¡¯t admit it." Wang Yao was not surprised. "If that thing is really on you, then you need to be careful. That thing¡¯s worth is far surpassing your imagination. Those people will not let anyone off during their investigations! My guess is that everyone that was on Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain back then has been investigated in the dark."

    "Furthermore, even if you have it, can you really use it?"

    Wang Yao raised her head and looked at Chen Feng as she said solemnly, "How many years do you need before you can actually use a blood essence at that level? Five years? Ten years? Twenty years? With your current strength, if you were to sell it, no matter who you sell it to, there will be a possibility of you getting killed to keep this a secret! Hence, if you hand the blood essence to me, I can promise to do you three unconditional favors."

    Three favors!

    Chen Feng was tempted.

    He had only started his training for a short period of time. However, how many dangers had he met?! Regardless of the Long family at Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain or the mutant at the Greenhill Forest, these dangers were all unexpected incidents!

    Even if he wanted to avoid those dangers, he wouldn¡¯t be able to!

    He was able to deal with most incidents he encountered. However, for certain unforeseen dangers, a strong backer was required to face them! Wang Yao would be a good candidate as his backer!

    Three favors from her was equivalent to three lives!

    This was a viable exchange.

    Furthermore, what Wang Yao said was true. Would he be able to put the seadragon blood essence to use? It was simply something that might drag him into danger if he were to keep it. Trouble coulde knocking at any time!

    However...

    Chen Feng sank into deep contemtion.

    Currently, what worried him the most was not Wang Yao. Instead, it was Wang Yue. His rtionship with Wang Yue was bad. He did not expect it to improve in the future either. In the end, Wang Yue was still Wang Yao¡¯s brother!

    This was his main worry.

    However, he was not worried that Wang Yao was one of those that would act recklessly. Otherwise, in order to get revenge for her brother, she could have destroyed Chen Feng anytime she wanted.

    And now, Wang Yao suspected that he had the seadragon blood essence in his hands.

    If she was a person who would reach her goal by any means, she would have already captured Chen Feng and started force-reading his memory.

    Such urrences were verymon in this era!

    With Chen Feng¡¯s strength, would he be able to resist?

    No.

    However, Wang Yao did not do so.

    Her suggestion of exchanging the blood essence with three favors from her was a gesture out of respect. Chen Feng did not know why was he getting this favorable treatment from her. He also wasn¡¯t sure if she was actually plotting something or not.

    "You are worried about Wang Yue and the Wang family?" Wang Yao suddenly said.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes and kept silent.

    "If that¡¯s the case, you don¡¯t have to worry," Wang Yao said indifferently. "The Wang family and I are two different entities. If it wasn¡¯t for my rtionship with Wang Yue, those people from the Wang family would not even be qualified to carry my shoes."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped.

    "You and Wang Yue can settle your grudges among yourselves."

    Wang Yao nced at Chen Feng with an indifferent expression. "As for the Wang family... since I say that I will do you three favors, regardless of saving or taking lives, this naturally..." Wang Yao paused, smiling sweetly as she emitted an astonishing killing intent, "includes those from Wang family."

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Chen Feng inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    Wang family included!

    He was aware that this little girl would not lie to him. There was also no need for her to do so. When talking about the Wang family, the killing intent flickering in the little girl¡¯s eyes was truly astonishing!

    This proved that¡ª

    If he really wanted Wang Yao to kill someone from the Wang family, she would really do it!

    If so, this was scary indeed.

    Was this little girl really someone from the Wang family? Wait, if she was really someone from the Wang family, she should be the one they put their main efforts into nurturing, right? Why was Wang Yue the one chosen instead?

    Furthermore, she was clearly Wang Yue¡¯s elder sister. This made things even weirder.

    Wang Yao, who are you exactly?

    "Originally, I wouldn¡¯t have done all this." Suddenly, Wang Yao said softly, "These things I do for Wang Yue will be thest help I give him as his sister. If he remains stubborn and refuses to change and insists on staying in the Wang family, his future..."

    Wang Yao stopped here. However, what Chen Feng heard was enough to shake him to his core.

    Wang family...

    Wang Yao...

    The rtionship between the two of them was indeed not simple.

    "Why are you telling me this?" Chen Feng suddenly asked.

    "After keeping this a secret for all this time, I feel tired."

    A trace of bewilderment flickered in her pair of quick-witted eyes before they quickly became pure again. She said indifferently, "Besides that, would you give me the seadragon blood essence without my assurance?"

    Chen Feng looked at her calmly.

    Wang Yao raised her head and looked into Chen Feng¡¯s eyes as well.

    At this moment, time seemed to freeze.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng felt that this cold and arrogant little girl with terrifying strength had a different side to her. From her eyes, myriad worlds could be seen.

    After a long time.

    Chen Feng sighed. "You are sure that it is in my hands?"

    "Intuition." Wang Yao winked naughtily.

    Chen Feng surrendered. "You win."

    "May we cooperate happily."

    Wang Yao extended her hand indifferently.

    Chen Feng shook her hands, feeling the jade-like warmth in his hands.

    At the camp, Wang Yue was bored as he had been waiting for quite a while.

    "Sister."

    As Wang Yao and Chen Feng returned, Wang Yue hastily stepped forth. "We..."

    "You return first." Wang Yao waved her hands. "I still have something to do with Chen Feng."

    "???"

    Wang Yue was stupefied.

    What was this? Was he dumped again?

    Looking at his sister and Chen Feng, who were leaving, he started to have a bad feeling. Damn it, looking at how things were developing, Chen Feng wouldn¡¯t be his brother-inw, right?

    Shit!

    Just imagining the scene shocked him to no end.

    "No, it won¡¯t be."

    Wang Yue mumbled. His sister was his idol. How would she fall for trash like Chen Feng! They must have some proper business! Yes, they must!

    In fact, Chen Feng and Wang Yao really had proper business to do.

    At the vicinity of the destroyed Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain, on the shore, when Chen Feng walked out of a shrub after getting the seadragon blood essence he had buried under the sand, Wang Yao was speechless.

    "So..."

    "You took this seadragon¡¯s blood essence right under our eyes?"

    Wang Yao rubbed her tiny face.

    "Cough cough."

    Chen Feng coughed.

    "..."

    What could Wang Yao say?

    How brave of him?

    But he seeded!

    To be honest, if not for her getting him to help with removing restrictions this time, she most probably wouldn¡¯t have discovered the problem. Even toward the end, she merely suspected him.

    This Chen Feng was not simple indeed.

    Both of them did not stop there for long. After a short while, Wang Yao brought Chen Feng and left the ce.

    Not long after they left, a powerful spiritual energy swept through this area. It stopped here for a long time and disappeared quietly after not finding anything.

    "Weird..."

    "I seem to have felt something there..."

    "Have I sensed wrongly?"

    **

    Late at night, Chen Feng returned to the rented house at Gold City.

    Wang Yao left after dropping him off at the urban district.

    Chen Feng returned alone yet he was unprecedentedly relieved. With the seadragon blood essence gone, the pressure on his heart was also lifted.

    After getting his hands on this item, he had constantly been worried!

    He did not have any concealing methods. Hence, he was scared of getting found out by some bizarre ability and was constantly worried that something would happen!

    Luckily, those people did not seem to possess these bizarre methods.

    Furthermore, regardless of the incident where he was picked up by Wang Yao or the frigid pond¡¯s trip, during both incidents, Chen Feng kept feeling like he owed her something and he was feeling very ufortable due to this. Now, since he had exchanged a blood essence he was not able to use in the first ce for Wang Yao¡¯s favor, getting three extra lives, he felt like this choice of his was extremely profitable.

    At the very least¡ª

    With this, he earned the right to talk to her on equal grounds.

    "Am I too much of a male chauvinist?"

    Chen Feng smiled mockingly.

    For unknown reasons, even if his strength was still too weak, he did not want his status to appear too lowly in front of this youngdy.

    "I can¡¯t think too much."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    Currently, the most important thing for him was to increase his level!

    This encounter with the mutant and the frigid pond trip brought Chen Feng¡¯s attributes to a whole new level. His overall strength had even reached a new pinnacle!

    ----

    Gene attributes:

    Strength: 50

    Agility: 50

    Physique: 50

    Spirit: 100

    Current condition:

    Endurance: 50/50 (every 1 point of physique increases the maximum endurance by 1 point)

    Spiritual Energy: 100/100 (every 1 point of spirit increases the maximum spiritual energy by 1 point)

    ...

    ----

    "Finally 100 points!"

    Chen Feng was shaking from excitement. His attribute was finally sufficient for his usage!

    Based on his previous calctions, in order to modify the gold ant gene into the strongest gene, he required around 90 points of spiritual energy and arge amount of luck value!

    "I can probably start trying to surpass the limit!"

    "However, I need time in order to break through the limit. Even if I reach E-ss, there won¡¯t be that much of an improvement. I don¡¯t need to be in a rush. What¡¯s important is for me to produce this strongest gene first!"

    Chen Feng analyzed in silence.

    His current target was to produce the strongest gene!

    Opening the experiment kit, he took out the remaining gold ant blood essence from the sealed preservative safebox. He immediately felt somewhat helpless. Some green fur had started growing on the blood essence.

    "It degenerated..."

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly.

    Gold ant blood essence only had a shelf-life of three days.

    Out of the three sets of blood essence and materials he had prepared for gold ant gene production, he produced one sessfully, failed to produce the second, and kept thest set of materials away since he did not have the time to produce it. He wanted to try out the effects on the blood essence when it was sealed away. Out of his expectations, only after two days, this set of blood essence had been spoiled.

    However, a form with a high star rating was different from those low-level forms. For these high star rating forms, the blood essence was only a small part of the materials. Thergest portion of the materials was the incubator liquid used during the gene incubation step.

    "Seems like I can only put this on hold."

    Chen Feng pondered.

    Not only had his gold ant blood essence spoiled, even his luck values had a low amount of 3 points remaining!

    During his previous attempt, the first two steps had used up 15 points of luck values. The amount of luck value required for the final step where he prepared the incubator liquid for gene fusion was still unknown!

    "I need to prepare at least 40 points of luck value!"

    Chen Feng made up his mind.

    Even though he might not need so much luck, it was still for the best if he prepared amply.

    Since that was the case, he could make use of the two days time he had during his luck value recovery to prepare the materials required for his production. Since he didn¡¯t have many funds remaining, he could only prepare the materials.

    "Seems like I have to stake it all on this onest chance."

    Chen Feng was full of fighting spirit.

 Chapter 56: Strongest F-Class Gene?

    Chapter 56: Strongest F-ss Gene?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Two dayster, within his rented house at Gold City, Chen Feng was still busy preparing the materials.

    Although he was cooped up in his home these two days, he still managed to collect some news. Such as the students involved in the Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain incident having organized an investigation group in order to get their rmendation letter from the school. Each of them started to get involved in the investigations.

    Luckily, halfway through their investigations, the school told them to stop it.

    Chen Feng guessed that the headmaster had probably found out that the item was in Wang Yao¡¯s hands. Hence, he could only grudgingly stop the investigation.

    It seemed that his choice to hand over the item to Wang Yao was a wise choice.

    Chen Feng was sure.

    "In the end, it¡¯s still my strength that is too weak," Chen Feng mumbled.

    If he was as powerful as Wang Yao, would he still need to worry that bad things would befall him simply because he possessed valuable items?

    Be stronger! I must be stronger!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone brightly.

    Since he had now prepared all the required materials and recovered 40 points of luck value, he could finally get started with the gene production that he had been looking forward to for a long time.

    The strongest gene, he had been really looking forward to it.

    This would be the first step he took on his path to be stronger!

    "Bang!"

    Chen Feng entered the digitized mode.

    As he had previous experience in this, this time, he was very well-practiced when going through the steps. First step, gene search. With his eyes closed, Chen Fengpleted it easily!

    Five points of luck values used.

    Second step, allowing all the collected genes to react with each other. With Luck Aura fully activated, Chen Feng rapidly grabbed with his hands andpleted the gene reaction in an orderly fashion.

    Ten points of luck values used.

    Third step, gene fusion!

    At this point, Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed slightly. The previous steps were something he had performed before. This third step, on the other hand, was something he was attempting for the first time.

    "Rise!"

    All the materials hovered.

    Chen Feng did not dare to open his eyes in fear of getting disturbed.

    Both the gene and incubator liquid he was working with were something unfamiliar to him. He had to mix a liquid capable of reproducing the gene using the materials he had on hand!

    Water, materials,mon incubator liquid...

    All the materials started fermenting under the control of Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual energy. Due to him sealing his five senses, Chen Feng waspletely unaware of the dosage of the materials he used for this process.

    The amount of materials, concentration, ratio, everything was handed over to Luck Aura!

    "Whoosh!"

    "Whoosh!"

    His luck value started dropping rapidly.

    One point, two points, three points...

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression was solemn.

    "Di¡ª"

    "Di¡ª"

    In the room, on a certain device, a red light was flickering.

    That was a video recording device!

    Chen Feng was unable to record what happened in the digitized mode. However, in thisst step, it was imperative that he recorded the materials used and steps taken during the preparation of the incubator liquid!

    "Hum¡ª"

    While Chen Feng was constantly progressing, the recorder was faithfully recording everything down.

    All the materials used, the sequence taken, situations that might arise from the reaction, and the ratio he used during mixture of the solutions were clearly recorded.

    Third step,plete.

    Luck value used, 10 points.

    The next time he produced this gene, he would be able toplete this step in advance!

    Then, what was left was to reproduce the gene in the incubator liquid?

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    This strongest gene was finally nearpletion!

    "!"

    The gene blended quietly into the incubator liquid and started rapidly reproducing and multiplying. Chen Feng fully activated his Luck Aura and controlled the tempo of the fusion.

    He would not allow any mistake to happen in this final step.

    One point, two points...

    He calcted inwardly.

    When the luck value finally stopped dropping, Chen Feng knew that the production of this improved F-ss 5-star form hadpleted its final step!

    The strongest gene,pleted!

    "I seeded?"

    Chen Feng was excited.

    Before his eyes, a gold-colored liquid appeared, radiating with rays of light swirling around it.

    Carefully, Chen Feng sealed it into a reagent bottle. Activating the gene scanner, brand new data appeared on his screen.

    ----

    Gene name: Mutated Gold Ant Gene

    Gene type: Special

    Gene function: 1 point spiritual energy increase

    Limitation: Only usable for F-ss gic warriors

    Gene introduction: With savage desert ant¡¯s blood essence as the core, forming a special gene reagent by refining the blood essence with all sorts of valuable materials.

    ----

    "It mutated!"

    Chen Feng almost jumped from excitement when he saw the word mutated! It really mutated. Form improvement sessful! This mutated gene that was impossible to appear had finally appeared!

    "Haha."

    Chen Feng was in ecstasy.

    After exhausting 30 points of luck value, he had finally seeded!

    His delight was not only due to the sess of this form. Instead, it was the significance of this sess. This sess signified that Chen Feng would be able to start digging out all those undiscovered mystical forms!

    There were endless possibilities for any form!

    "Too powerful."

    Chen feng was excited.

    However, before his excitement even faded, the expression on his face froze as he saw the function of this form.

    One point?

    A one point spiritual energy increase?

    He thought he had seen it wrongly and proceeded to take a clear look at it a few times. It was indeed one point.

    "How is that possible?"

    Chen Feng was somewhat stupefied.

    A one point attribute increase for a mutated 5-star form?

    Even a normal 5-star form was able to increase at least 20 points of spiritual energy. As a form that was a rare existence among the 5-star forms, how could it increase a mere one point? An F-ss gic warrior could only use it once. Furthermore, this reagent only increased the spiritual energy by one point...

    Chen Feng started losing confidence.

    A term suddenly floated through his head¡ªreversed mutation!

    A mutation did not signify something good all the time. Most of the times, a mutation represented improvement. However, at times, situations where the mutation was a weaker version of the original would arise. These mutations were called reversed mutations! However, the probability for a reversed mutation to appear was very small, to the point that it was negligible!

    Now... it had appeared.

    It reversed from 20 points to one point?

    Chen Feng felt like killing himself.

    He calcted the costs for this production in detail. He had used 30 points of luck value and around 200,000 yuan for the materials. This was simply a loss!

    This was the so-called strongest gene produced by the Luck Aura?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart ached.

    Shaking his head, Chen Feng was preparing to put this reagent away before he froze. This was because, afterparing its description with the description of the original gene reagent, he noticed that there were slight differences in the two descriptions.

    ----

    Mutated Gold Ant Gene: 1 point spiritual energy increase

    Gold Ant Gene: Triggering the potential in one¡¯s body, permanently increased one¡¯s spiritual energy by 20 points

    ----

    "Twenty points..."

    "One point..."

    Chen Feng pondered.

    Apart from this, with astonishment, Chen Feng found that on the gold ant gene, it was written that a F-ss gic warrior could only use it once. However, for the mutated gene, it became ¡¯only usable for F-ss gic warriors¡¯!

    "¡¯Only able to use once¡¯ disappeared..."

    Chen Feng frowned. "Could this mutated gene have unlimited usage? However, it¡¯s still useless, right? Who would be willing to spend 150,000 to increase one point of an attribute? Do they have brain damage?"

    Did this mean that a trash form had arisen from his improvement?

    Chen Feng did not know whether he shouldugh or cry.

    However... Chen Feng kept feeling like he had missed out on something important.

    "1 point attribute..."

    "Increase..."

    Staring at the information on the mutated gold ant form, Chen Feng sank into contemtion.

    After a long time, a thought shed through his mind.

    He recalled that previously, the body¡¯s original owner had read an ancient book that seemed to have an introduction on something simr!

    That was an ancient book restoration event organized by the Gene Production Association. As the most outstanding student rmended by the school, Chen Feng went to help with this event. Mhm, he remembered that in one of the books, there seemed to be an introduction on something simr. ording to the Gene Production Association¡¯s introduction, that was something extinct.

    What was written on it...

    Chen Feng was sure that the body¡¯s original owner had read it. However, it was too far in the past.

    "Let me think about it."

    Chen Feng concentrated and started to look back at this piece of memory.

    The memories of the body¡¯s original owner were like a movie for him. Along with his constant contemtion and his nonstop search, this vague memory finally became distinct.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng saw it!

    "Increase..."

    A different splendor was emitted from Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    So it¡¯s like this. This is the true worth of this form!

    The term ¡®increase¡¯ existed in a lot of ces.

    However, if that term appeared on a reagent giving a permanent increase, coupled with the situation where the term ¡®exhausting one¡¯s gene potential¡¯ was not there, then you had struck jackpot!

    What did this mean?

    One would be able to increase one¡¯s attribute without exhausting one¡¯s gene potential!

    In actuality, the process of increasing one¡¯s attribute was a process of using other genes within one¡¯s body to trigger the gene potential within one¡¯s body and give a small increase to one¡¯s attribute! Hence, regardless of the reagents, they could only be used once. Regardless of the reagents, they would not be able to break through the limit!

    But now...

    Triggering the potential?

    No, there was no need at all to trigger the potential!

    It would be able to grant one a one point increase in attribute regardless of whether one had any potential or not!

    Fusing with a certain hidden yet mystical gene in the gold ant gene, it would be able to help one take one¡¯s final step and surpass one¡¯s limit!

    This was the true worth of this form!

    Forceful breakthrough!

    Something iparable!

 Chapter 57: Sales Event

    Chapter 57: Sales Event

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Mutated 5-star form."

    Chen Feng was excited.

    He was convinced that he had hit the jackpot this time!

    This mutated gold ant gene would definitely sell for an extremely high price. He would be able to make a profit off the 30 points of luck value and the near 200,000 yuan he had spent!

    Naturally, this cost was not fixed.

    For example, he had spent 10 points of luck values in order to prepare the incubator liquid. However, the next time he produced it, he could simply follow the steps he recorded using his recorder earlier.

    He would be able to save around 10 points of luck value in his subsequent productions.

    In other words, the basic cost for mutated gold ant gene production was 200,000 yuan and 20 points of luck value!

    After thinking about it for a while, Chen Feng decided to sell it after deciding on a suitable price for it.

    He had never thought of using it himself.

    Since he was able to produce it, he did not need to be afraid of anything.

    Furthermore, without a F-ss form, what was the point in him breaking through now?

    If he were to consume it right now in order to break through, he would be truly broke. He wouldn¡¯t even have the funds for subsequent productions. By selling it, he would be able to purchase the materials and continue his production. This would be the healthy cycle for him to continue his production and advance himself.

    "How much should I sell it for?" Chen Feng pondered.

    This was a reagent that had never appeared in history!

    Despite the difficulty level of breaking through F-ss not being high, F-ss being the bottom tier among gic warriors, and there being various methods to surpass one¡¯s limit, Chen Feng¡¯s mutated gold ant gene was definitely the fastest method avable!

    Chen Feng decided. "Let¡¯s start with one million yuan and see how it goes."

    "Let¡¯s assign it for sale on the virtualmunity."

    Chen Feng entered the virtualmunity with excitement and reached the Wind Pavilion as usual. Just as he was about to put the reagent up for sale, he stopped.

    A bucket of cold water had been poured on the boiling hot blood of his.

    That was because he had finally remembered a crucial point: the service charge!

    The service charge for assigning an item for sale at a shop was 5%.

    In the past, for that one million yuan mutated lumberbear gene, he was forced to pay 50,000 yuan as a service charge. Just to expose Professor Tao, he paid such an amount! It didn¡¯t end there. Subsequently, in order to get the Wind Pavilion¡¯s owner to release the transaction records, he paid another service charge of 50,000 yuan!

    He did not me Windchanter for that. It was, after all, a business transaction.

    However, what about his future sale of the mutated gold ant gene? At the price of a 50,000 yuan service charge for each gene, 10 of them would cost him 500,000 yuan, and 20 of them would cost him a staggering amount of one million yuan!

    Just the picture of that alone pained Chen Feng immensely!

    As he looked at the service charge worth 50,000 yuan on the information disy window, he hesitated for a long time and was still not able to tap on the confirmation button. At this moment, a light silhouette flickered and Windchanter, the owner of the Wind Pavilion, appeared.

    "Chen Feng?" Windchanter smiled and said, "You are here to assign stuff for sale again?"

    Chen Feng nodded slightly.

    "Mhm."

    "Thank you for your care."

    Windchanter was smiling widely. "The level one shops at the virtualmunity are organizing a sales event. Due to the genes you assigned, the sales figure of my shop has far surpassed that moronic King Kong opposite me. With this, I will be able to get a satisfying reward."

    "There is such a thing?"

    Chen Feng was astonished. Seemed like there werepetitions everywhere.

    "Haha, not only that. Both King Kong and I are from the same school. We are currently engaged in an internshippetition. Although I¡¯m not really bothered about this, for me to be able to surpass him, I still need to thank you for your help," Windchanter calmly said.

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. "Why not return that 50,000 yuan to me, then?"

    "That won¡¯t do."

    Windchanter proudly said, "That 50,000 yuan was the payment for my release of the customer¡¯s name list. It is money I earned, haha. However, to thank you for your help, when the event ends in a few days, I can sell the rewarded form to you at a discount."

    Chen Feng¡¯s paused his steps. "Form?"

    "Yeah." Windchanter had not realized what was happening currently and boasted proudly, "In order to attract more consumers, the monthly sales activity organized by the virtualmunity will reward those who ce in the top 100. The higher one¡¯s rank is, the better the reward is. This time, I will be able to get a 3-starbat form."

    Form!

    Chen Feng was tempted.

    Chen Feng suddenly thought of something. "Are such events frequently held by the virtualmunity?"

    "Naturally."

    Windchanter nodded. "It¡¯s the same concept as the sales promotions at those supermarkets. By organizing more events, the sales figures will increase. It¡¯s basically a monthly event. Furthermore, the virtualmunity will get 1% of every single sale. With the increase of sales figures, the money they earn will increase as well."

    "So it¡¯s like this," Chen Feng muttered thoughtfully.

    "Oh, right, what do youe to sell this time?" Windchanter said with a beaming smile on his face. He was still hoping that Chen Feng would give him a push forward.

    "Nothing."

    Chen Feng walked away after waving his hand.

    Windchanter was confused. As he saw that there was no assignment from Chen Feng at all in his shop, he had a baffled expression on his face. Why would hee if not here to sell?

    Currently, Chen Feng had returned to reality and started pondering on this problem.

    After all this time, he had found out that things like 4-star forms and 5-star forms were something that might only appear during events,petitions, or certain entrusted missions.

    Under normal circumstances, even if someone wanted to purchase one, they would not be able to.

    As for him, these high-star forms were the exact things he required!

    Regardless of pushing his star rating or for form improvement, it was something he needed!

    For the him that possessed Luck Aura, training using 1-star forms and 5-star forms would not have too much of a difference in time spent. Since that was the case, why not start with a high-difficulty form and increase his production level?

    Hence, he needed forms with high-star ratings!

    It was unreliable to wait for entrusted missions. Furthermore, a lot of those missions were too dangerous. It was not something he wished to get involved in.

    Then... he could only get the forms throughpetitions and events!

    This monthly sales event organized by the gene shops was just nice for Chen Feng.

    Not only this. Regardless of during the Professor Tao incident or the high service charge, both had caused Chen Feng to make up his mind that opening his own shop was the most cost-effective method!

    Reaping multiple gains with a single effort!

    He looked at the time and found that there was still one week left in this month.

    There was no hope for this month¡¯s event. However, there were still two more months before the rookiepetition. Within this period of time, he might be able to earn some event rewards.

    Even if those were not rare forms, they were still good as a source of extra ie.

    His requirements were really not high.

    Mhm...

    Feasible.

    Chen Feng made up his mind.

    To open a shop!

    However, before that, there was still a big problem. He took a look at his bank ount before sighing. "Too poor!"

    In order to produce the mutated gold ant gene, he had exhausted all his savings and had nothing left.

    Maybe I should sell some genes first?

    He still had some mutated lumberbear genes in his possession. However, apart from its research value, it wasn¡¯t worth much. At the most, he could sell it at 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. As for selling the mutated gold ant gene, just the 50,000 yuan service charge alone was enough to cause him immense pain.

    "Mhm..."

    Chen Feng calcted.

    One million yuan was required to purchase a small shop at the virtualmunity. A tax rate of 1% was something eptable for him. However, the premise for all this was that he needed to have one million yuan.

    "It¡¯s the age-old question of whether the egg or the chickenes first."

    Chen Feng sighed.

    At this moment, he suddenly recalled something. In his previous life, things like loans were verymon. There should be something simr here, right?

    At this thought, Chen Feng started searching for it online. After he gained some understanding, he frowned slightly.

    These loans... don¡¯t seem to be too reliable?

    After giving it a thought, he decided to ask Mu Yuan about it.

    "Is there anything?"

    Mu Yuan seemed to be busy at the moment.

 Chapter 58: Taking Loans Due to Poverty

    Chapter 58: Taking Loans Due to Poverty

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Mhm, you are busy over there?"

    Chen Feng could see that Mu Yuan looked exhausted.

    "Nothing much." Mu Yuan was helpless. "Didn¡¯t I reach E ss earlier? Recently, I was nning to fuse an E-ss gene. With the fusion, my gene-production level would definitely increase greatly. Who knows, I might even have a chance to try my luck at the rookiepetition."

    Mu Yuan was getting excited as he said this.

    Fusion gene reagent...

    Chen Feng pondered.

    After he was done with his ns, he would most probably need to start breaking through to E-ss. With the mutated gold ant gene, he was not worried about surpassing his limit. However, his choice of E-ss gene was extremely important.

    "What ability do you n to fuse with?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Quick Eyes." Mu Yuan was excited. "It enables one to greatly improve their eyesight. During the gene fusion stage of gene production, it also helps one obtain the bnce required during fusion. ording to the Gene Production Association¡¯s statistics, gene producers with Quick Eyes have a sess rate during the fusion stage that is higher than others¡¯ by 30%!"

    "So powerful?" Chen Feng eximed in admiration.

    Was it abination of gene production and gene ability?

    "That¡¯s right." Mu Yuan was excited. "At F-ss, I fused with a special gene that helps one to increase one¡¯s production level. When I¡¯m done with my E-ss fusion, I will be even more powerful. If my luck is good and I am able to master the secret art of thebination of both genes, my production level will definitely not be any weaker than anyone else¡¯s!"

    2-star secret art...

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

    Although other gene producers did not possess Luck Aura, they all possessed powerful supportive gene abilities. The opponents he would encounter during the rookiepetition would not be simple!

    "Oh, yeah, why were you looking for me?"

    Mu Yuan, the chatterbox, could never stop once he got going. Only now did he recall that there must have been a reason for Chen Feng looking for him.

    "Mhm."

    Chen Feng nodded his head. "Recently, I require some funds. Hence, I wanted to ask if I can take out a loan with my identity as a producer. I¡¯m looking for a legalized loan. I can even upload my certifications for it. However, I don¡¯t need those that require one to upload their naked picture or their videos. I checked, they do not ept pictures or videos of males."

    Picture?

    Video?

    Damn, was this a porno?

    Mu Yuan did not know whether tough or cry.

    Only now did he recall that Chen Feng was a rookie at gene production.

    As he thought of this, he was speechless. This rookie had first stepped on Professor Tao before subsequently going on to produce the thundersnake gene reagent. How should Mu Yuan, as a senior, feel?

    Too vexing!

    "Yes, there are," Mu Yuan said helplessly. "The Gene Production Association is very generous with this. Anyone can take a loan. The quota for the loan would be decided based on their contributions to the Gene Production Association, their production level, their reputation, etc."

    "Wait."

    "Let me take a look..."

    "Mhm..."

    "It¡¯s here."

    Mu Yuan demonstrated for Chen Feng. "You only need to tap here. When you are done with your application, the system will verify your information and immediately send the funds over to you."

    Whoosh!

    On the screen, Mu Yuan¡¯s production qualifications allowed him to take out a loan amounting to 600,000 yuan.

    "Let me tell you." Here, Mu Yuan finally felt like he managed to regain a certain amount of dignity for himself. "An ordinary gene producer only has a quota of 100,000 yuan. Every star rating increase will increase one¡¯s loan quota by 10,000 yuan. Only a senior like me, with a production level of 50 stars, can get a higher loan amount. Of course, you don¡¯t have to lose your heart over this. If you really have an emergency, I can help you to take out a loan."

    "Let me take a look."

    Chen Feng started following the instructions Mu Yuan gave him.

    Whoosh!

    A loan application page appeared.

    "Let me take a look at your... mhm..."

    Mu Yuan helped Chen Feng; however, when he saw Chen Feng¡¯s loan quota, his expression froze.

    "What¡¯s up?"

    Chen Feng took a look and was stunned as well.

    1.1 million yuan!

    His loan quota was 1.1 million yuan!

    "How is this possible?"

    Mu Yuan opened his eyes wide. A senior like him with a 50-star rating only had a quota of 600,000 yuan. How was it possible for a rookie like Chen Feng to have a quota of 1.1 million yuan?

    This...

    Mu Yuan was stupefied.

    At this moment, Chen Feng recalled something. "This should be due to the mutated lumberbear gene incident. Earlier, someone from the Gic Union looked for me for registration."

    Mu Yuan¡¯s cheeks were streaming with tears.

    Only now did he recall that Chen Feng had managed to find the third mutation. Hence, he had contributed greatly to the research of genes. It was only rightful that the Gene Production Association increased his loan quota.

    Why did I need to show off in front of this guy...

    Mu Yuan mumbled before he disappeared and ended the call.

    Chen Feng was somewhat helpless. Had he hurt the feelings of his old friend just now? However, as he looked at his 1.1 million yuan quota, he was excited.

    After filling out the application form, the loan arrived quickly.

    1.1 million yuan in hand!

    "Time to buy a shop!"

    Chen Feng was burning with enthusiasm.

    With the purchase of a gene shop, the flow of his funds would soon be smooth. He only needed to sell a few mutated gold ant genes and he would be able to regain his cost of 1.1 million yuan!

    After reaching the virtualmunity, Chen Feng submitted his personal information to apply for a shop.

    The virtualmunity did not take long toplete the verification. After all, most of the time, the staff in charge would only give the application a nce before approving it. Quickly, at a certain corner at the virtualmunity, a new shop appeared.

    Chen Feng reached the entrance of his shop. It was a small shop, sized at nine square meters. Within, there were only 10 ss shelves for disying good. Currently, the shop¡¯s signboard had changed into a pure white sheet, waiting for Chen Feng to design his own signboard.

    Chen Feng walked into the shop.

    A screen was hovering midair, clearly waiting for Chen Feng to operate it.

    "Mhm..."

    "Shop name..."

    A bright idea shed in Chen Feng¡¯s mind and he inserted the words: "The Strongest Gene!"

    Regardless of the genes and the type of genes, as long as it was something he produced, it would definitely be the strongest gene! Nowadays, it was hard for a shop to be well known. There were too many simr products in the market. Hence, Chen Feng¡¯s signboard would be The Strongest Gene!

    After deciding on the name, the shop officially opened.

    "Ding¡ª"

    "The Strongest Gene started operating."

    "The system detected that your shop qualifies to join the monthly sales ranking event. Please confirm if you want to join?"

    "Yes!"

    Chen Feng confirmed without hesitation.

    "Ding¡ª"

    "Registration sessful."

    "Your current monthly sales figure is at zero yuan and your ranking is number 32,012."

    "There¡¯s actually over 30,000 participants," Chen Feng eximed in admiration.

    There were really way too many level one shops here in the virtualmunity.

    However, Chen Feng was sure that a vast majority of these level one shops were only here to fill the numbers. The true participants were only around 1,000 or 2,000 shops. Naturally, these were all unimportant to him. He was only aiming for top 100. Since even Windchanter could enter it, it shouldn¡¯t be too hard for him.

    As for the topmost rankings...

    Chen Feng nced at them and noted that their sales had already reached a figure of over ten million. He would not be able topete at all!

    "A 3-star form. Let¡¯s treat it as extra ie."

    Chen Feng was indifferent.

    "Let¡¯s assign it for sale first."

    Chen Feng assigned his own gene in the shop.

    Mutated Gold Ant Gene, 1 million yuan.

    As for lumberbear gene ¨C battle...

    Chen Feng thought for a while before deciding to assign it for sale at 99,999 yuan.

    He only had two left. He set such a high price in order to attract the attention of others. After all, within the whole virtualmunity, only his shop had lumberbear gene ¨C battle for sale! Only by attracting attention to his shop would there be traffic at his shop.

    After he was done, he went offline.

    As far as he was concerned, joining the monthly event was only for him to earn some extra ie. He was not too bothered about it. His main focus was still improving himself!

    To be more urate, it was to focus on increasing his spiritual energy!

    When he was producing the mutated gold ant gene yesterday, he noticed that the feeling when one possessed 100 points of spiritual energy was totally differentpared to 32 points of spiritual energy. The feeling was extremely good, to the point where he felt himself floating! After the increase in his spiritual energy, Chen Feng¡¯s production speed had increased by five-fold!

    Spiritual energy was the crux for his improvement!

    A high spiritual energy enabled him to have better production skills, master a form faster, and have a higher sess rate.

    "My current spiritual energy is 100 points. If I were to break through..." Chen Feng pondered.

    Breaking through was not an issue for him.

    With the mutated gold ant gene, as long as he had sufficient funds, he would be able to breakthrough any time he wanted. However, after breaking through, what E-ss gene should he fuse with?

    Since he did not intend to fuse with a supportive gene, was there any ability out there that would match his Wind de?

    Chen Feng sank into contemtion.

    He was really toocking in his knowledge about this.

    This body¡¯s original owner had nned to walk the path of a pure producer. Since Chen Feng did not intend to fuse with a supportive gene, the knowledge regarding this was something he needed to learn himself.

    Only by gaining more understanding would he avoid making the wrong choice.

    "Seems like, these next few days, I need to start stuffing myself with some knowledge regarding gene fusion reagents."

    Chen Feng rubbed his head.

    There were too many things that he wanted to learn.

    After leaving the virtualmunity, Chen Feng focused all his attention on studying. However, he did not realize that the two genes that he assigned for sale had given rise to huge waves in the whole virtualmunity.

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the business district of the virtualmunity, at any given time, there would be someone searching for lumberbear gene. However, surprisingly, when they now searched for lumberbear gene, a new gene appeared: lumberbear gene ¨C battle.

    "What is this?"

    A lot of them were confused before finally finding out that this was the third mutation of the lumberbear gene, which had been a hot topic recently.

    The price and its attributes were still the same as when it had first appeared.

    "It¡¯s still 99,999?"

    "Is this guy crazy?"

    "Yeah. Abat gene with these attributes and gic ability would only be worth around 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. He has the guts to sell it at 99,999?"

    "I heard that he managed to sell it at 99,999 a few times previously. That might be the reason he thought that this is the market value."

    Some people started sneering.

    "Laughable."

    "That was due to the research value this item possessed when it first appeared."

    Countless people were sneering.

    Some of those who found the lumberbear gene were curious and entered Chen Feng¡¯s shop. When they reached his shop, they were all stunned by the boastful name on the signboard.

    The strongest gene?

    Among the same type of genes, only those in his shop were the strongest?!

    "Damn, this confidence..."

    "Even those grandmaster producers don¡¯t dare to say these words, right?"

    "He became so conceited after producing a mutated lumberbear gene by fluke?"

    "Hehe."

    Everyone sneered while they started looking at the other gene in the shop. The next instant, everyone was astonished to find that there was a 5-star gene in this shop.

    "It¡¯s a 5-star gene. Gold ant gene!"

    "It¡¯s a mutated gene."

    Those with good eyesight noticed the word ¡®mutated¡¯ immediately.

    "Mutated 5-star?"

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    No wonder this guy was so conceited. He was able to produce a mutated 5-star gene even when he was a mere rookie. However, soon, the crowd started noticing that something was not right with this mutated gene.

    At a nce, it appeared incredible. However, when they started to study it in detail...

    "This amount of attribute increase is somewhat low, right?"

    Some of them asked instinctively.

    As everyone took another look at it, they agreed. As a magnificent 5-star gene, why was the increased spiritual energy a mere 1 point? As they checked online, they were instantly amused.

    "It¡¯s actually a reversed mutation."

    "A normal gene is able to give a 20 point increase, while this mutated gene is only able to give a one point increase?"

    "This gene reversed into its mother¡¯s womb instead?"

    "6666666[1]"

    "This is almost akin to a gene returning to its roots, right?"

    Everyone enjoyed gossiping. "With such a level, he dares to call his shop the strongest gene?"

    Soon, one after another, threads regarding ¡®The Strongest Gene¡¯ started appearing at the learning forum. Threads discussing this terrifying reversed mutation appeared along with it as well. All this triggered a hot discussion on the forum. Due to the words ¡®reversed mutation¡¯ being written on the thread titles, the producers on the forum took that as the truth. None of them doubted it.

    Chen Feng was once again a hot topic.

    Furthermore, some even created a slogan for him: The strongest reversed gene, reversing into its grandmother¡¯s womb!

    Countless people from the learning forum went to the virtualmunity to witness this legendary gold ant gene that managed to reverse into its grandmother¡¯s womb. Along with their visit, they also left their message on the message board in the shop to express their reverence.

    Chen Feng had now be a hot topic.

    The Strongest Gene had now be a hot topic as well.

    It¡¯s just that the direction Chen Feng and his shop took on their path to poprity was somewhat peculiar.

    Naturally, along with this, the previous incident was resurrected and Professor Tao once again became a hot topic and known to everyone.

    **

    In the courtyard of a certain house.

    Professor Tao was looking at the crowd that was whispering while pointing at him from a distance with an ugly expression on his face. With great difficulty, the previous incident had finally calmed down. Finally, he dared to once again step out his house. For some reason, today, that topic was once again resurrected! He only went out to buy some food yet was met with endless contempt! The only thingcking was someone openly pointing at him and scolding him.

    Only after he returned home did he found out that damnable guy was stirring trouble once again!

    "Why?"

    Professor Tao was seething with fury.

    Why would things be rted to him whenever this Chen Feng stirred up trouble? What¡¯s with all those people referring to him as ¡®a person that became well known after exposing Professor Tao¡¯???F*ck that shit!

    He suddenly felt rmed. Could it be that in the future, whenever this Chen Feng started stirring up trouble, regardless of whether it¡¯s something good or bad, he would be dragged out to be a punching bag?

    After pondering it, Professor Tao decided that it was very probable!

    "This won¡¯t do."

    "This definitely won¡¯t do."

    Professor Tao muttered and contacted his son immediately. "Little Jun, that guy¡¯s identity was exposed! He opened a shop at the virtualmunity..."

    "I know."

    Tao Lijun sighed. "Before he opened his shop, my man had tailed him for several days. However, they never found an opportunity to act. This guy maintained high alert all the time; I¡¯m afraid assassination will not be a reliable method to deal with him."

    "Then just employ other methods," Professor Tao said viciously. "I want him to disappear! I don¡¯t want to hear any news regarding him, regardless of whether it is bad news or good news!"

    "Don¡¯t worry, Father."

    A cold glint flickered in Tao Lijun¡¯s eyes. "I know what to do."

    "Deal with it as soon as possible."

    Only now did Professor Tao start trying to conceal the fact that he was currently quite agitated. For his whole life, he had enjoyed the public¡¯s respect. However, after he was exposed, it felt worse than dying!

    If he had known about this earlier, he would not have dared to make his move against Chen Feng, no matter what.

    "Hopefully this will end soon," Professor Tao muttered.

    "It will," Tao Lijun said coldly.

    Late at night, a huge online army appeared in the learning forum and started using all sorts of ways to discredit Chen Feng. From talking about his nature to talking about his behaviors, all sorts of methods were employed!

    "This is only the beginning," Tao Lijun said with a grudging look in his eyes. "Chen Feng, this time, I need you to disappear for real!"

    Since assassinating him was unreliable, he did not n to continue the assassination n. If Chen Feng were to obediently be a normal producer and stop stirring any trouble, he really had no way to deal with Chen Feng. However, for Chen Feng to open a shop?

    Hehe, that was akin to courting death!

    Eventer that night.

    Within the Wang family¡¯s house at Gold City, a youth was training under the moonlight. Under the control of his spiritual energy, those tree leaves quietly spun around him before being neatly arranged on the stone.

    "It has been a year?"

    The youth sighed.

    His name was Wang Chun, 19 years old, a first year university student.

    He was once the genius of the Wang family. He was able to reach 40 points of spiritual energy during high school before proceeding with gene strengthening and rapidly reached the peak of F-ss at 100 points!

    However, what happened next was him being permanently stuck there.

    "Hum¡ª"

    He brandished his wrist and an illusory book hovered above his hand.

    The blue radiance was flickering, appearing iparably exquisite.

    "Was what I did for you the correct choice?" Wang Chun mumbled.

    When he was at the F-ss, he fused with a mystical yet powerful legendary gene. If this ability¡¯s power was fully unleashed, it would have the potential to be a 7-star secret art! However, the main disadvantage of this gic ability was that it would cause one¡¯s breakthrough difficulty to increase by multiple times.

    He was too confident, to the point that he did not care about it at all.

    And thus, he was stuck at this point for a whole year.

    Those that previously followed him, those that previously looked highly upon him, they had all disappeared. The resources of the whole Wang family were concentrated on his cousin instead.

    Suddenly, he felt that a gaze hadnded upon him.

    Wang Chun instinctively nced at the direction he felt the gaze from. Distantly, in the aisle, a silhouette shed past. After ncing at him, the silhouette pretended to not see him and left calmly.

    It was him...

    Wang Chun clenched his fists.

    That was his cousin, Wang Yue!

    He had recently finished his high school examinations as a top scorer. He was also the current young genius of the Wang family! He had just returned from a ruins exploration yesterday. Along with the resources provided by the family, he had solidified his rank at E-ss!

    Wang Chun had been thoroughly surpassed.

    "Hehe."

    Wang Chun smiled mockingly. "Do I want to stay here forever?"

    Returning to his room, Wang Chun looked at his savings silently. Entering the virtualmunity, he started to search for genes at the business district. He started looking through the genes one by one. However, all that followed was him shaking his head after each gene he looked at.

    He seemed to remember that a legendary gene reagent capable of breaking through one¡¯s limit existed!

    However, those genes were something so rare that one could discover by luck; they were not something one would be able to seek out!

    A legend was a legend, after all.

    He had been looking for it for over a month. However, it was nowhere to be found. He was only here to casually look for it. As he walked along the street of the virtualmunity, he paused his steps. There, he saw the entrance of a small gene shop with a group of people scattered around.

    Even at this hour, this shop was still so crowded?

    Wang Chun was somewhat astonished. It was currently 1 AM in the morning!

    Instinctively, he nced at the shop name, The Strongest Gene, and with it, he saw the boastful description that came with the shop name. Immediately, his heart was shaken. Only the genes produced by him were the strongest?

    Wang Chun was agitated.

    As he entered the shop, he spotted a gold-colored liquid right away. It was a mutated 5-star gene reagent with a simple use of a one-point attribute increase.

    "One point?

    Wang Chun was stupefied.

    Reversed mutation?

    Was this really a reversed mutation?

    Wang Chun was somewhat disappointed. However, he had been crazily looking up information regarding limit-surpassing reagents and hade upon some legends. Due to that, currently, he suddenly thought of a possibility!

    Would this one point help with his limit breakthrough?

    Increase...

    One point...

    Wang Chun¡¯s heart trembled. The more he thought of it, the more likely it seemed!

    These genes never appeared before. What if it was bogus reagent? One million was at stake here...however... what if it was genuine?

    Wang Chun bit his tongue to clear his muddled head.

    Buy!

    It had to be bought!

    He knew that his chance had appeared. Even if the probability was only 1 in 100,000, he had to give it a try!

    He looked at the bnce in his bank ount before taking a look at the price stated below that gene reagent and deciding to borrow some money. Even if there was only a tiny chance of it seeding, he had to try!

    For his future!

    As Wang Chun left, within the shop, the crowd was still amidst their chattering and discussions. The crowd wasughing as they discussed, as if the act of condemning Chen Feng would make them look better.

    One night passed quietly.

    Chapter 60: Gaining Publicity from Hype

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In the early morning of the next day, the incident involving Chen Feng had somewhat calmed down.

    The mutated lumberbear gene and Professor Tao¡¯s name were the reason for The Strongest Gene bing a hot topic. Since Chen Feng had now been badly discredited, the public naturally lost their interest in him. However, out of everyone¡¯s expectations, at this very moment, explosive news appeared.

    The mutated gold ant gene was sold!

    The staggering price of one million yuan!

    Everyone that heard this news was stupefied.

    "How is that possible?"

    The public was speechless. Someone would actually buy that trash gene?

    Was that a rumor?

    A lot of people believed that it was a rumor and went to The Strongest Gene. There, they saw the word ¡®sold out¡¯ below the gold ant gene¡¯s disy!

    "It was really sold!"

    This stunned everyone.

    A big crowd was around the entrance of The Strongest Gene. They were all there in order to take a look at this mutated gold ant gene. As a result from this, the sub-district the shop was located at enjoyed an unprecedented amount of traffic!

    "Are there truly people out there that would buy this kind of trash gene?"

    A lot of people couldn¡¯t believe this.

    At the learning forum, the people that were busy discrediting Chen Feng had suddenly paused. Just now, they had been busy saying how it was impossible for this gene to be sold. But now...

    Suddenly, someone said, "Maybe Chen Feng bought it himself?"

    Everyone shivered and instantly felt enlightened. It was probable!

    That was totally the truth!

    "Apart from himself, who would buy this trash gene?"

    The public condemned him. "True. Even a gene reagent capable of increasing one¡¯s spiritual energy by 20 points is only priced at several hundred thousand. He dares to sell this gene that only increased one¡¯s spiritual energy by one point at one million? As long one¡¯s brain works, one would not buy this gene."

    "If that¡¯s the case, it really was Chen Feng that bought his own gene?"

    "Of course!"

    "What is his goal for doing so, then? Apart from wasting money, it seems to be pointless?"

    "Goal? Hehe. What else could his goal be? It¡¯s marketing. Since his shop is newly opened, he has to do some marketing for it. But the only difference is others will use sales event as marketing while Chen Feng chose this peculiar method as his marketing tool. Oh yeah, I heard he joined the monthly sales event?"

    Everyone suddenly felt enlightened.

    Monthly sales event?

    Could it be...

    Everyone opened their eyes wide.

    Damn, he was totally creating fake sales volume to increase his rankings in the monthly event!

    Was this guy crazy? Granted, there were people who tried doing something simr as him in the past to obtain better rankings in the event. However, they all did it quietly in fear of getting found out, affecting their reputation and trust as a result. This Chen Feng, on the other hand, was absolutely unrestrained!

    The virtualmunity only charged them 1% of their sales.

    In other words, one only needed to waste 10,000 yuan for the service charges to create a sales volume of 1 million yuan.

    For the event reward, doing this sort of thing, why not?

    "Where¡¯s his dignity?"

    "Damn it, this works?"

    "This... this..."

    Everyone was stupefied.

    They never expect there would exist someone whose face was thick to such an extent. Creating a false sales volume was something frowned upon.

    "Someone without a sense of shame would be unrivaled under the heavens."

    Some people started sneering. "Since he doesn¡¯t even care about his reputation, what can you do?"

    At this moment, Chen Feng waszily getting out of his bed. As he saw that the mutated gold ant gene was sold, he cheerfully bought anotherrge amount of materials and produced another mutated gold ant gene reagent.

    "Seems like the public are capable of judging what a good product is after all."

    Chen Feng was immensely pleased.

    Two hundred thousand yuan and 20 points of luck values for a single mutated gold ant gene reagent.

    Totally worth it!

    After putting it up for sale, Chen Feng went and proceeded with his studies.

    In the shop, the crowd was stupefied as they looked at Chen Feng who openly assigned a new mutated gold ant gene reagent for sale in front of them.

    "He simply assigned it and left like this?"

    "In front of us?"

    Everyone had a stupid expression on their face.

    Shouldn¡¯t he exin himself in such circumstances? Getting questioned by so many people, as long as you still care about your reputation, you should put forth an exnation, right?

    However, he did not.

    From the start, Chen Feng ignored them.

    "This..."

    "Is this due to him not wanting to exin himself, or is this due to him not caring about our existence at all?"

    The crowd was angry. They had never see someone so unbridled before!

    Naturally, there were some who managed to notice something different from the rest.

    "This gene seems like something used for..."

    A person suddenly opened his mouth, however, as he was halfway through his sentence, he was grabbed by someone beside him who whispered, "What are you doing?"

    "Didn¡¯t you notice? This gene..."

    "I noticed!"

    The person beside him was feeling hateful for his ipetence, "Hence, quickly prepare money to buy it! You think you are the only one who noticed it? Why has nobody mentioned it? You really think everyone else is an idiot? Don¡¯t you know the concept of getting rich silently? Would you not believe me if I said that this gene would be sold very soon?"

    So that was the case.

    That person gained a sudden realization.

    Amateurs were only there to enjoy the show, while experts were there to see the truth!

    A majority of those criticizing Chen Feng were those herds who were only there to take part in the fun. Would any of those who knew of the actual truth bother exining to them?

    Due to these people, Chen Feng was once again a hot topic.

    Yesterday, Chen Feng became a hot topic due to the strongest reversed gene of his. Today, he became a hot topic due to his charm and personality.

    Mhm...

    Having no sense of shame could be considered as a personality trait as well, right?

    The learning forum was filled with peopleshing out against Chen Feng. All the producers dered that they felt ashamed on Chen Feng¡¯s behalf. There were even some who requested Chen Feng¡¯s name be removed from the Gene Production Association, etc. In a short few hours, Chen Feng¡¯s name was once again known throughout the virtualmunity.

    In the afternoon, as Chen Feng was immersed in his studies on producer¡¯smon knowledge, he suddenly received Mu Yuan¡¯s call.

    "Chen Feng, what¡¯s with the mutated gold ant gene?"

    "What?"

    Chen Feng was somewhat lost.

    Mu Yuan did not know whether tough or cry and exined to him what had happened. Only now did Chen Feng know what happened. Those bunch of idiots actually believed that this was his trick?

    Truly...

    "Is this really what you did?"

    Mu Yuan find it hard to believe that Chen Feng would do such thing.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Of course not."

    Mu Yuan was unable to understand. "But that one point attribute..."

    Chen Feng shrugged. "Used for limit breakthrough."

    "Limit... f*ck. Limit breakthrough?!"

    Mu Yuan shivered. He was really shocked by Chen Feng. "You are saying... this item can be used for limit breakthrough, during the final step when one is at 100 points?!"

    "Naturally. Otherwise, why would I sell it at such an expensive price?"

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes.

    "Damn! Damn! Damn!" Mu Yuan swore continuously. Yet he was still unable to regain his senses. He knew that Chen Feng was somewhat talented. However, he never expected Chen Feng to be talented to such an extent!

    This was limit breakthrough!

    A limit countless people were stuck at!

    A small gene reagent like this would be able to fix the problem? Mu Yuan swallowed his saliva as he suddenly felt that it was totally not expensive for this item to be priced at one million yuan.

    Wait, since it was limit breakthrough, why did nobody notice it? Even he did not manage to notice it? Honestly, if it wasn¡¯t for Chen Feng telling him...

    Mu Yuan suddenly understood.

    Inertial thinking!

    It¡¯s not that nobody guessed it. Rather, it was because nobody would think in this direction! That was because, after all these years, no one had produced a limit breaking reagent before!

    None!

    Even all those grandmasters andpanies had failed. A mere rookie had seeded?

    No one would believe that!

    Because of that, naturally, nobody thought about it. However, Chen Feng had really produced it.

    "All right, you are impressive," Mu Yuan eximed. "Do you need me to exin on your behalf?"

    "No." Chen Feng shook his head. "It¡¯s quite good this way."

    Mu Yuan nked. "Ah?"

    "Only when there¡¯s discussion would this remain a hot topic."

    Chen Feng smiled. "Although I¡¯m toozy to create hype, since there¡¯s a ready-made hype surrounding my stuff, why waste it? Let them continue discrediting me. I¡¯m not afraid anyway."

    Mu Yuan: "...."

    This brother here seemed to know a lot about this aspect, no?

    "I still think it¡¯s better to be more careful."

    Mu Yuan reminded him, "You have, after all, joined the monthly sales event. My guess is that the event inspectors are starting to investigate you."

    "Let them investigate, then."

    Chen Feng was not bothered at all. "I did not do anything wrong. Why should I be afraid of their investigation?"

    At the same time, in the virtualmunity, as Mu Yuan had said, the event inspectors were investigating this incident.

    These days, due to the existence of bizarre and peculiar gic abilities, it was almost impossible to cheat in front of the inspectors. Granted, since the inspectors possessed bizarre gic abilities to detect fraud, there were also bizarre gic abilities capable ofmitting fraud. However, how could a normal gene producer contend against therge virtualmunity?

    The inspectors of the virtualmunity possessed the strongest detection abilities!

    Nothing could hide from them!

    However, today, this group of inspectors reputed as a group capable of finding the truth out of everything suffered total defeat when investigating Chen Feng¡¯s incident.

    "Is there any result from the investigations?"

    The leader of the inspectors group Li Dakang inhaled deeply.

    "No."

    All the inspectors were ashamed.

    No matter what gic ability they utilized, the result would only point out that the purchase of this mutated gold ant gene reagent by that gic warrior was a normal purchase. No issues were found with the purchase.

    "How can this be?"

    Li Dakang was starting to feel somewhat jittery.

    Unlike other incidents, this Chen Feng incident was something serious. Furthermore, the truth was quite apparent. As such, their superiors requested them to find the proofs and wrap this up as soon as possible. However, without proof, how could they wrap this up? All their investigations pointed to there being nothing wrong with this Chen Feng.

    Their team wasprised of 10 inspectors, each of them possessing some special detection abilities. However, all these abilities appeared quite useless in this incident.

    "Could it be..."

    "There really are no problems?" one of the inspectors whispered.

    Whoosh!

    Li Dakang red at him. "Between 20 points of spiritual energy and 1 point of spiritual energy, which would you buy? Furthermore, the difference in price is almost fivefold?"

    "I..."

    That inspector opened his mouth yet was not able to say anything.

    True.

    This was obviously something illogical, and this was also the reason they couldn¡¯t ept the fact that they couldn¡¯t find any proof.

    "Today, we received another 100 reports on this," another inspector said.

    "I know."

    Li Dakang inhaled deeply and looked at the information regarding The Strongest Gene in front of him before viciously saying, "Investigate. Investigate with all your effort. I refuse to believe that there are absolutely no problems with him. Today, we shall work overtime. Without finding out anything about this guy, none of you are allowed to sleep!"

    "Alright."

    Hence, the group of inspectors started their busy life of working overtime.

    Currently, the incident was still hotly discussed online.

    The discussions were centered around Chen Feng, his act of selling and buying his own item to create a false sales volume, and the monthly sales event. There were also no signs of these discussions stopping. Instead, the discussions were constantly gaining momentum. At the same time, some of the shop owners decided to get their friends and families to help create a fake sales volume, since nothing seemed to be happening to Chen Feng. However, they were all shut down by the inspectors that were seething in anger.

    Hence, the shop owners that were shut down startedining online, saying that the event was unfair. How were the masses supposed to trust them this way, etc.

    However, regardless of how much the public talked about this, the virtualmunity had not taken any action against Chen Feng. As such, this incident continued progressing, triggering more curiosity from the public, to the point where some people started to suspect that Chen Feng was actually the illegitimate child of the virtualmunity¡¯s owner.

    Once again, Chen Feng became the trending topic!

    This time, it was due to his seemingly mysterious identity and background.

    "The illegitimate child of the virtualmunity¡¯s owner?"

    Chen Feng looked at these threads with a toying expression on his face.

    He suspected that these people did not use their brain when making up stories. If that was really his identity, was there a need for him to open a shop and create a fake sales volume? Naive! However, due to the publicity this incident brought him, the traffic of Chen Feng¡¯s shop reached a new pinnacle with his sales volume increasing rapidly once again.

    The second mutated gold ant gene reagent was sold at the same price of one million yuan.

    Chen Feng did not find this surprising.

    This item was definitely worth one million yuan. With so many people paying attention to it, all it required was for a single person to notice the true value of this item and the reagent would immediately sell.

    What surprised Chen Feng was that his mutated lumberbear gene had actually sold as well.

    Due to the publicity created by the public, he had managed to sell 2 of the mutated lumberbear genes despite their high price of 99,999 yuan each. For the lumberbear gene that only cost several thousand yuan to produce, this was truly an extreme profit.

    "No wonder those celebrities like publicity."

    Chen Feng could finally understand why the celebrities from his previous life would always create some controversy to gain some publicity for their uing movies or TV-shows.

    At times, publicity was equivalent to profit.

    Up until now, Chen Feng¡¯s sales volume had reached 2.2 million yuan, entering the top 100 rankings of the monthly sales event. This speed of advancement was obviously extraordinary!

    "Top 100?"

    Chen Feng nked.

    He originally joined the event for fun without expectations. After all, it was near the end of the event period anyway.

    However, as he looked at the numbers of the sales volume, the me in Chen Feng¡¯s heart started zing. This monthly sales event doesn¡¯t appear too difficult?

    As he thought about it, it seemed quite logical for the difficulty to be low. The participants were only some level one shops. A single level-one shop had a maximum of 10 disy shelves. Even if they were to sellbat genes here, how much could they earn?

    As for Chen Feng? A single sale of his could reach an amount of one million yuan.

    Who couldpete with him?!

    Chen Feng studied the information on the monthly event rankings.

    Number 100, 2 million sales volume.

    Number 30, 5 million sales volume.

    Number 3, 10 million sales volume.

    There was a big difference between them!

    However...

    Chen Feng calcted his earnings.

    Using 24 points of luck values everyday, 20 of them for mutated gold ant gene production and the remaining four for mutated lumberbear gene production, his total sale would be 1.4 million. Unfortunately, it wasn¡¯t easy to sell the mutated lumberbear gene. He could only depend on the recent publicity he gained to barely sell some of it. Otherwise, with the mutated lumberbear gene alone, he would be able to make a huge profit.

    1.4 million per day. In seven days, he would be making near 10 million!

    His distance from the guy at number three was so very near.

    Although his opponent had seven days left as well, within these final seven days, Chen Feng believed that the maximum his opponent could reach was 12 million. The difference wouldn¡¯t be too drastic.

    "A difference of 2 million..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were burning. Perhaps, he could try reaching the top three?

    Under normal circumstances, he naturally wouldn¡¯t bother. However, this sudden publicity he gained put him in an extremely beneficial position. Although everyone was discrediting him online, however, his shop had also been making crazy profits from this. This was a perfect opportunity for him!

    Reaching the top three in seven days!

    "The reward for top three is actually rare 4-star forms."

    Chen Feng was agitated.

    Since there was an opportunity for him to gain a rare form, he would not waste the opportunity!

    If so, his next goal would be: to reach top three!

    However, based on his calctions, he might stillck around two million sales volume to reach top 3. How should he close this gap?

    "Producing two extra mutated gold ant genes?"

    Chen Feng pondered.

    He had saved up some luck value during the past few days. However, his luck value would bepletely exhausted if he were to produce even one extra mutated gold ant gene. If he were to encounter some dangers at that time, things would get troublesome. Hence, unless it was absolutely necessary, he had to maintain at least 10 points of luck value at all times.

    Increasing the price?

    One million seemed to be the limit.

    It seemed like this incident had attracted too much attention. However, the virtualmunity had failed to find any means to punish Chen Feng. As such, they decided to set a limit for the price of F-ss gene at a maximum price of one million yuan. This caused Chen Feng to feel immensely regretful, as he was nning to increase the price.

    "However..."

    Chen Feng suddenly thought of something. Since the gold ant gene could mutate, could the thundersnake gene mutate as well?

    "Let¡¯s try."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes brightened.

    After preparing 10 sets of materials for the thundersnake gene, he entered his hyper-dimensional mode.

    That¡¯s right, hyper-dimensional mode!

    Chen Feng called this mode where he closed his eyes and fully activated his Luck Aura the hyper-dimensional mode.

    "Bang!"

    The lights before his eyes shattered before the familiar-looking genes appeared before him.

    Currently, due to Chen Feng sealing all his senses, he could not see nor feel the existences of these genes. He could only perform the gene search process under assistance of Luck Aura.

    Soon, gene search waspleted, consuming two points of luck value in the process.

    "Two points..." Chen Feng muttered thoughtfully.

    Continue!

    Second step, gene reaction.

    In his hyper-dimensional mode, Chen Feng urged these genes to start reacting and his luck value started declining rapidly. One point, two points, three points... only when six points of luck were exhausted did the process stop.

    Third step, gene fusion.

    After his experience producing the mutated gold ant gene, Chen Feng was extremely well practiced with what he needed to do at this step. Once again, he used 10 points of luck value to prepare the incubator liquid. On the other hand, the gene duplication and fusion process did not exhaust too many of his luck value. Only two of them were exhausted before the final gene fusion waspleted.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Chen Feng sealed the liquid carefully.

    Whoosh!

    Gene production,plete.

    "Sessful?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s emotions surged as he looked at the reagent filled with green- and white-colored sparks.

    "Gene scan!"

    "Hum¡ª"

    A ray of light started scanning the gene.

    ----

    Gene name: Mutated Thundersnake Gene Reagent

    Gene type: Special

    Gene function: Triggering an explosion with spiritual energy, able to bring about a huge amount of destruction

    Spiritual energy consumption: 20 points

    Gene introduction: Produced from thundersnake¡¯s blood essence, requires a lot of different materials to bring out the mysterious power within thundersnake gene, turning it into a type of special gene reagent.

    ----

    It mutated!

    Chen Feng was excited.

    Indeed...

    Thundersnake gene had a concealed gene within as well! It was only that this concealed gene would only appear after modifying the materials and improving the form.

    However, what was with this spiritual energy consumption of 20 points?

    Chen Feng was confused.

    He remembered that the spiritual energy consumption for normal mutated thundersnake genes were only 10 points. Why did it be 20 points after this new mutation?

    Reversed mutation?

    After thinking about it, Chen Feng decided to go to the Greenhill Forest Camp alone.

    This item was different from mutated gold ant gene where only reading the descriptions would be sufficient for Chen Feng to figure out its value.

    As for the mutated thundersnake gene...

    Why was the spiritual energy consumption increased by onefold? How much was the increase of its damage?

    He had to have an understanding about it himself.

    "I will know after trying."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    He did not dare to go too far away from the camp.

    In the distance, a peak F-ss mutated beast appeared. Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped as he quietly tossed the thundersnake gene reagent in his hands.

    "Bang!"

    Triggering the explosion with his spiritual energy, the reagent exploded midair.

    And then...

    It disappeared.

    "???"

    Chen Feng was somewhat stupefied.

    Disappeared?

    Indeed!

    Disappeared!

    The moment the thundersnake gene reagent was triggered; it changed into a ray of light and disappeared. Looking at his spiritual energy that had been reduced by 20 points, Chen Feng nked. What happened? A normal thundersnake gene reagent would directly explode on the spot when triggered and envelope an area with a circumference of three to five meters around it with lightning. Why had it disappeared instead after mutation?

    However, right this moment, Chen Feng sensed something and abruptly raised his head.

    The sky started thundering.

    A huge snake-shaped lightning bolt descended and smashed on the spot where the reagent originally disappeared, killing the peak F-ss mutated beast in a sh.

    The beast couldn¡¯t even scream before dying.

    "This power..."

    Chen Feng inhaled a cold breath of air.

    Thundersnake!

    This was the true thundersnake!

    Compared to this, the normal thundersnake gene reagents he used to use were like thunderworms instead of thundersnakes.

    Although the thundersnake gene reagent had the power of an E-ss attack, it was the power of a newly advanced E-ss warrior. At times, it would be able to unleash an extremely formidable might. For example, when it was in the mysterious seawater previously. However, at times, it was also extremely weak. For example, when facing the mutant previously, the reagent failed to kill both the mutant and the wind fox leader.

    What if this new reagent was used?

    Chen Feng was sure that if the same thing were to happen again, the wind fox leader leaping on the mutant to take on the attack for him, the both of them would still die from the attack of the-snake shaped lightning.

    "This thing..."

    Chen Feng was bubbling with excitement.

    A one-fold increase in spiritual energy consumption; however, the increase in its might was extremely huge!

    Based on Chen Feng¡¯s initial estimations, the ¡®bring about a huge amount of destruction¡¯ in the gene introduction was describing the E-ss damage the reagent was capable of bringing. Previously, the normal reagent would bring about a damage equivalent to around 100¨C200 points of attributes, around the same level as a newly advanced E-ss warriors. The current reagent, on the other hand, would be able to disy a power equivalent to around 900¨C1,000 points of attributes.

    They were both described with the same words, ¡®bring about a huge amount of destruction.¡¯ However, the actual difference was extremely huge.

    Reaching home, Chen Feng produced another mutated thundersnake gene reagent.

    "How much should I sell it for?"

    Chen Feng was excited.

    "500,000 yuan cost and 10 points of luck values to produce."

    After calcting, he was speechless. No wonder this new reagent was so terrifying. Its materials alone were five times more than normal thundersnake gene reagents.

    What was the suitable price?

    After thinking about it for a while, Chen Feng decided to set the price at one million yuan.

    Didn¡¯t you want to restrict the price? Have fun restricting, then!

    Mutated gold ant gene reagent required 200,000 yuan and 20 points of luck value to produce, while mutated thundersnake gene reagent required 500,000 yuan and 10 points of luck values to produce. Although mutated gold ant gene reagent brought him higher profit, after contemtion, Chen Feng found that it would be more worthwhile for him to produce mutated thundersnake gene reagents.

    Chen Feng calcted in silence. "With 20 points of luck value, I can produce two sets of mutated thundersnake gene with a cost of one million yuan selling at two million yuan, making a profit of one million yuan. The same 20 points of luck value could only produce one set of mutated gold ant gene with a cost of 200,000 yuan and selling at a price of one million yuan, making only 800,000 yuan of profit."

    Furthermore, with each mutated thundersnake gene reagent he produced, he would be better practiced. For him, luck value was the most valuable resources.

    However, the premise for all his ns was that there would be someone capable of discovering the power of the mutated thundersnake gene reagent.

    A one-time usage item with the price of one million yuan. Would someone really buy it?

    Chen Feng was feeling doubtful.

    "Let¡¯s just give it a try."

    After thinking about it, Chen Feng decided to put it up for sale.

    Mutated thundersnake gene reagent, selling at one million yuan!

    This was, after all, not the same as something like the gold ant gene, which was somewhat special. For this mutated thundersnake gene, one needed to personally experience it in order to have a general idea of the might it possessed.

    "How long will it take to sell?"

    Chen Feng wasn¡¯t too worried about it. If it was sold, he would continue producing it. If it wasn¡¯t sold, he would keep it for himself as a trump card.

    In the virtualmunity, only one day had passed. As the public finally slowed down their discussion on The Strongest Gene, Chen Feng¡¯s mutated thundersnake gene once again caused a sensation.

    One million yuan for a one-time-use gene!

    "It¡¯s another mutated gene!"

    "This Chen Feng must¡¯ve identally obtained a research result or inherited some resources of some senior. Otherwise, it¡¯s impossible for him to keep producing all these mutated genes!"

    "I think so too."

    "All this is not the main point. The main point is the price he set!"

    The public was too tired to continue slighting Chen Feng.

    Was this guy crazy? Selling a reversed mutated gold ant gene at one million. Even a mutated thundersnake gene was sold at one million? Was he sick?

    "Has this thing really mutated?"

    "Although the thundersnake gene rarely appears, I remember that its description is the same."

    Some of the people started raising their doubts.

    After checking online, they found out that Chen Feng¡¯s mutated gene was simr with a normal gene with the only difference being the spiritual energy consumption. It changed from 10 points to 20 points.

    "..."

    They were all speechless.

    "Another reversed gene?"

    "666666[1]. The Strongest Reversed Mutated Gene. This shop is correctly named after all."

    "Too funny."

    "I remembered that the normal version of this gene is only worth 200,000 yuan, right?"

    The public went crazy withughter.

    That was one million yuan he set as the price there!

    If it was a fusion reagent, fine. In order to get the gic ability, for one¡¯s own future, some people would put it all on the line to buy it even if it was expensive!

    However...

    What was this one-time-use item?

    One toss and it¡¯s gone.

    Who would waste one million yuan for this?

    Too funny.

    At the same time, the mutated thundersnake gene raised another huge wave in the learning forum. A huge online army started discrediting Chen Feng again. As for the Professor Tao incident, it had been totally forgotten. There were too many points one could discuss about Chen Feng, so nobody bothered talking about Professor Tao.

    However, nobody noticed that in Chen Feng¡¯s shop, amongst the crowd, one particr person was staring at the mutated thundersnake gene reagent for a long time without speaking.

    His name was Yun Zhongtian, an E-ss gic warrior. He was preparing to go on an extremely dangerous exploration trip and was currently in the final stages of his preparations. As he heard that there was a mutated thundersnake gene reagent for sale here, he decided toe and take a look. However, he did not expect the reagent to be sold at one million yuan!

    "This guy must have gone crazy from thinking about money too much."

    He shook his head and prepared to leave the shop.

    However, at this moment, he noticed that within the bottle of the mutated thundersnake gene reagent was a flickering lightning that seemed to appear much more powerful than the thundersnake gene reagents he had purchased in the past.

    "20 points of spiritual energy consumption..."

    "The power it contained is much more powerful..."

    Yun Zhongtian¡¯s eyes brightened. He had previously used a thundersnake gene reagent once. However, the mutated version before him seemed to be somewhat different from the one he had used previously? For an unknown reason, he could feel an energy that caused one¡¯s heart to palpitate from this mutated gene reagent.

    This gene reagent was very powerful!

    However, this price...

    Yun Zhongtian was hesitating and struggling to make his decision. He was sure that this mutated gene reagent was much more powerful than a normal gene reagent. However, its price was really too expensive.

    Excessively expensive!!!

    However, the amount of people attracted to this shop from all the publicity was extremely high. He was only one of them. He was confident that among the crowd, there were those who had previously used thundersnake gene reagents or those who knew a good thing when they saw one. Hence, the time left for him to hesitate was short. Someone else might buy this thing soon.

    To buy or not to buy?

    Yun Zhongtian smiled bitterly and suddenly understood. Did he have any options? If he failed to return from his explorations this time, what good would all the money he saved do? Earlier, he had taken a stroll around the area. Among all the gene reagents usable for him, this was the most expensive one! However, it also appeared to be strongest! Even those E-ss one-time-use reagents were not as powerful as this one!

    He really had no choice.

    After a long time, he clenched his teeth and tapped the screen.

    Buy!

    Whoosh!

    In The Strongest Gene, the one million yuan mutated thundersnake gene reagent was sold just like that.

    "!!!"

    At the entrance of the shop, the crowd opened their eyes wide as they looked at the word ¡®sold out¡¯ appearing on the disy shelf for the mutated thundersnake gene reagent.

    "Damn, it¡¯s gone?"

    "It¡¯s sold?"

    "How is that possible!"

    Everyone cried out in rm.

    It was sold!

    Again!

    This time, it took an even shorter amount of time. It was sold after only one hour it was put up for sale.

    "Wasn¡¯t this somewhat excessive?"

    "Yeah, in my opinion, this thing isn¡¯t even worth 100,000 yuan!"

    "Let¡¯sin."

    "I refuse to believe that the inspectors would really ignore this!"

    Everyone was raging with fury.

    This Chen Feng was absolutely unrestrained nowadays. Previously, he would still made an effort to pretend and only buy his own stuff after putting it up for one whole day. Now, he was too excessive!

    Right in front of everyone, the gene reagent was sold in an hour. Who was he trying to cheat?

    Hence, a huge amount ofints were sent to the group of inspectors. Currently, the amount ofints received regarding The Strongest Gene had exceeded the total amount of all otherints they received by arge amount.

    The public refused to believe that the group of inspectors would dare to ignore this incident.

    However, what they did not know was that the group of inspectors really wanted to deal with this. However, after two whole days, they failed to find even the tiniest shred of evidence!

    "Quick. Keep a close watch on this guy. The guy who just bought a mutated thundersnake gene reagent," Li Dakang shouted as he assigned all the inspectors in his group to the task of monitoring this person. He nned to use this guy as the break through to find some genuine evidences.

    "Watch him closely. This time, we must find some evidence."

    Li Dakang¡¯s gaze was zing like a torch, and the rest of his team members were surging with fighting spirit.

    However, they ended up wasting one whole day, obtaining no results whatsoever.

    That guy seemed to have gone exploring at some ruins. By the time he returned, he had lost an arm and spent over three million yuan at the hospital to rejoin his arm.

    "Nothing abnormal found on this guy."

    The group of inspectors smiled bitterly.

    There was absolutely nothing suspicious found on this guy who had bought a mutated thundersnake gene reagent. Would a guy who made a living through creating fake sales volume go about losing their arm like this?

    "Nothing unusual?" Li Dakang mumbled.

    "3 million yuan for an arm."

    The group members sighed. "Would someone like this go and participate in the creation of fake sales volume?"

    They kept silent.

    At this moment, they found that this guy went to Chen Feng¡¯s shop once again and bought two mutated thundersnake gene reagents at once!

    He bought another two!

    The group of inspectors widened their eyes. How were they supposed to investigate this?

    "Could this be a diversion tactic employed by one of thosepanies that specialize in creating fake sales volume?"

    Some of them guessed.

    One of them shook his head. "Doesn¡¯t look like it."

    "How are our other investigations?"

    One of them shook his head while smiling bitterly. "We are watching every single person who has bought items from The Strongest Gene. So far, nothing suspicious has been found." For this Chen Feng and his shop, they had poured in a huge amount of resources. However, they had nothing to show for all their effort.

    "What on earth is happening..."

    Li Dakang was unable to find a way to solve this.

    A normal producer like this was so meticulous to the point where he could trick the whole group of inspectors? Or maybe there was no problem in the first ce with this shop?

    As they looked at the obviously illogical price, they smiled bitterly. How was that possible?!

    Li Dakang clenched his teeth. "Chen Feng..."

    "What methods have you employed?"

    Recently, they were under extreme pressure. Every single day, their superiors would pressure them. However, they couldn¡¯t find any evidence. What could they do? No matter how they investigated, Chen Feng appeared innocent. They couldn¡¯t shut down his shop with some groundless usation, right?

    "Boss, what should we do?"

    "Watch!"

    "Watch him closely. I refuse to believe that he won¡¯t reveal any weaknesses. As the number of people who buy his genes increases, he will definitely reveal a weakness somewhere!"

    "Roger."

    Currently, there were still three days before the end of the monthly sales event.

    Once again, Chen Feng put two sets of mutated thundersnake gene reagent up for sale.

    Although the amount of people who possessed a thundersnake gene reagent was low, those who actually possessed one were those who were quite strong. After getting a taste of the power of Chen Feng¡¯s reagent, they started purchasing without any hesitation. This reagent was at the very least roughly three times more powerful than normal reagents.

    Naturally, the general masses were unaware of all this.

    The only thing they could do was continue berating Chen Feng for having a strong background and having no sense of shame, the group of inspectors being useless, the virtualmunity for being unjust, etc. All of this caused Chen Feng to be increasingly well-known.

    Currently, Chen Feng¡¯s sales volume had reached eight million, entering the top ten.

    Two days before the final day, Chen Feng sold another two sets of mutated thundersnake gene reagent. With this, his sales volume exceeded 10 million, cing him in sixth ce. Currently, the third ce only had a sales volume of 12 million.

    He only needed to produce another mutated thundersnake gene reagent in order to enter top three on the final day.

    As for the top two ranks?

    Number 1, 15.8 million sales volume.

    Number 2, 15.5 million sales volume.

    Chen Feng merely nced at their figures before forgetting aboutpeting with them. In order to be the champion, these two shops had held countless promotions and events after exhausting a huge sum of resources. Since there was only one day left, Chen Feng would not be able to catch up to them no matter what.

    "I will just produce four extra sets of reagents and get into top three tomorrow."

    Chen Feng looked at the remaining 40 points of luck value he had with satisfaction.

    His n was progressing smoothly.

    The power of his mutated thundersnake gene reagent seemed to be quite satisfactory as he had seen several repeat customers. Since he started aiming for top three up till now, he hadn¡¯t encountered any mishaps. As for all those discrediting him online... Mhm, he really should thank them. Without them, Chen Feng would not have been able to sell so many of his reagents!

    Regardless of how good your item was, people needed to notice it first, right?

    Putting it this way, those people had done him a big favor by berating him online.

    "After getting the new 4-star form, my production level can probably reach 14 stars."

    Chen Feng was excited.

    The 20-star production level that originally seemed so far away was now within reach. If he was willing, he could use the profits he made to buy two more 3-star forms, and that would be sufficient for his production level to reach 20 stars!

    "One step at a time."

    Chen Feng calmed himself down.

    However, just as he was nning his future ns, something happened abruptly and put a stop to all his ns!

    The Strongest Gene had been shut down!

    "???"

    Chen Feng had a ridiculous expression on his face.

    It was shut down?

    How was that possible?!

    Chen Feng went to his shop hastily and found that his shop had indeed been closed. Not only had it been closed, due to him viting the rules, all his funds were also temporarily frozen!

    "Very good."

    Chen Feng was seething with fury. He did not cheat nor did he create any disturbances. On what basis had the virtualmunity shut down his shop? Who gave them the guts to do so?

    Wasn¡¯t that groundless?

    Hehe.

    Chen Feng immediately contacted the group of inspectors. "I need an exnation on this."

    At the same time, the group of inspectors had a nk look on their face after receiving Chen Feng¡¯s message.

    It had been shut down?

    The leader, Li Dakang, had a lost expression on his face. Who had shut it down?

    "What happened?" Li Dakang bellowed. "We haven¡¯t got any proof yet. Who did it?"

    "From the way it was done, it doesn¡¯t appear to be one of us," some of them said.

    Li Dakang was angry. "Besides us, who dares to shut a shop down?"

    "Could it be someone from the Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices?" one of the members said suddenly.

    The department responsible for supervision of the prices ofmodities in the virtualmunity, the Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices.

    A cold glint flickered in Li Dakang¡¯s eyes. He pondered for a while before contacting a person. "Old Ding, what¡¯s up with The Strongest Gene?"

    Old Ding¡¯s indifferent voice drifted over. "What else could it be? Due to the vition of rules, we shut it down."

    "It is indeed you guys!"

    Li Dakang was raging. "What rules have been vited? Even us inspectors can¡¯t find any evidence. You guys can find it? Who gave you guys the guts to shut the shop down?"

    "Evidence? Isn¡¯t this obvious?"

    Old Dingughed heartily. "You inspectors need to look for evidence and proof. We, on the other hand, only need to prove that the price was increased without any basis in order to act. For him to sell a mere thundersnake gene at one million, this is an obvious vition of the rules! I personally think that, if you guys contacted me earlier, this incident would have ended long ago."

    "How have the rules been vited?"

    Li Dakang suppressed his anger. "All his genes were mutated genes. Don¡¯t tell me you guys have the relevant know-how to evaluate the price of his gene reagents?"

    "In the past, we didn¡¯t have. However, now we do."

    Old Ding said indifferently, "I¡¯ll send you our evaluations. Since we want to make a move on him, we have naturallypleted all the required procedures. Hehe, no one would bother us over this anyway. This is what the public wished."

    Shortly after, an evaluation table was sent over by the Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices.

    After Li Dakang looked at it, he helplessly closed his eyes. This way of doing things...

    One of the members asked suddenly, "What should we do?"

    "Chen Feng sent another message to us."

    "Send the evaluation table over to him and let him know our opinions on this."

    Li Dakang sighed.

    The team member hesitated. "Would this be proper?" Should they sell out the Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices just like this?

    "If we don¡¯t sell them out, do you want to be the one taking the responsibility for this?"

    Li Dakang rebuked them. "Those f*ckers were the ones in the wrong for pulling tricks in the dark. They wanted to earn the praises for this and let us to take the responsibility for this? To hell with that!"

    "All right."

    The rest of the team kept silent out of fear.

    Chen Feng received his answer after two attempts at contacting them. As he had imagined, it was not something done by the group of inspectors. However, the participation of the Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices was indeed something exceeding his expectations.

    "Is there any way to lift the ban?" Chen Feng asked.

    "...."

    Li Dakang felt somewhat guilty, since they did not have any evidence on hand, and said, "The Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices has banned a lot of shops before. Some only needed to apologize for the ban to be lifted. However, I doubt it will work this time. If you really want to lift the ban, you need to look for some authoritative figures and prove that the Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices is wrong in their evaluations."

    Chen Feng nodded as he ended the call. "Thanks."

    "Hum!"

    His wristband vibrated.

    Chen Feng nced at it. The group of inspectors had sent him something.

    ----

    Commodity price evaluation table:

    1. Lumberbear Gene ¨C Battle: Evaluated price: 10,000 yuan. A 100% increase is indeed strong. However, it still pales inparison to otherbat genes. Furthermore,pared with otherbor genes, it is not as practical as themon mutated lumberbear gene. As such, its practical value is not high.

    2. Mutated Gold Ant Gene: Evaluated price: 10,000 yuan. Common gold ant genes are able to increase up to 10 to 20 points of spiritual energy and are sold at 200,000 yuan and above. This mutated ant gene only increases one¡¯s spiritual energy by one point. Hence, its real worth should be one tenth of a normal gold ant gene¡¯s price or even lower. As such, its practical value is not high.

    3. Mutated Thundersnake Gene: Evaluated price: 50,000 yuan. It has double the spiritual energy consumptionpared to normal thundersnake genes. Apart from this, there are no other differences. As something generally used by F-ss warriors as their trump card, the extra 10 points of consumption is fatal. As such, its practical value is not high.

    ----

    Chen Feng was lost in thought long after he finished reading it.

    Ten thousand? Ten thousand? Fifty thousand?

    How vicious!

    Since the mutated gold ant gene was something that had never appeared before, it was understandable for them to be unable to see through its true value. However, as for the mutated thundersnake gene, no matter what, it should not be worth a measly 50,000 yuan!

    The Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices was tantly trying to kill him off!

    There was also the possibility that the Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices had seen through the true value of his strongest genes yet still chosen to deliberately act against him.

    Why?

    Had he offended these people?

    Returning to his room, Chen Feng sat on his table as he contemted. Subconsciously, he started tapping the table with his fingers. Along with the increasing tempo of his tapping, his thoughts started expanding.

    The authority...

    Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices...

    Information...

    Right at this moment, Mu Yuan¡¯s picture appeared on screen. Chen Feng epted the call. "What¡¯s the matter?"

    Shocked, Mu Yuan said, "The group of inspectors dared to ban you groundlessly?"

    Chen Feng shook his head. "It wasn¡¯t them. It was the Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices."

    "Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices..."

    Mu Yuan frowned before rxing his brows again. "Then that¡¯s understandable."

    "Oh?"

    Chen Feng raised his head.

    "As you know, that shameless Professor Tao stole my grandfather¡¯s research results before. However, after all these years, even after my grandfather became somewhat reputable, he did not expose the truth. Do you know the reason for that?" Mu Yuan inhaled deeply. "It was due to the son of that old bastard."

    Chen Feng listened quietly.

    "Tao Lijun. The chief of the Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices. After my grandfather gained some poprity, he tried reporting it once. However, something simr happened to him."

    Mu Yuan was seething with anger as well. What had happened to his grandfather in the past seemed to be happening to Chen Feng now. Although it was a different incident, the tricks pulled were simr. These were all masterpieces of Tao Lijun.

    His position as a bureau chief was somewhat special. Since he was in charge at the virtualwork, his influence was very small in real life. However, he possessed immense authority online.

    There was nothing one could do about that. This was an era where the virtualmunity was the most popr thing among the public.

    So that was the truth.

    Chen Feng felt enlightened. So it was Tao Lijun?

    Suddenly, Chen Feng smiled. Since he knew who his opponent was, this would be much easier to deal with.

    "What do you n to do? Do you need any help?"

    Mu Yuan asked.

    "No." A toying smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "Let our Bureau Chief Tao continue his ban on my shop. I¡¯m afraid that when I¡¯m done with him, he will end uping to me and begging me to reopen my shop..."

    Mu Yuan shivered as he heard that.

    Begging you to reopen your shop? What on earth is this guy nning to do?

    **

    The closure of Chen Feng¡¯s shop attracted countless attention. The most curious thing was that not long after the shop closed, Chen Feng hung a sign on it.

    "This shop has been banned by the Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices. As such, this shop will cease operation for an indefinite period of time."

    Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices?

    Banned?

    The public was happy to see this.

    "Haha. Finally banned."

    "Yeah. The inspectors sure are useless. Only the Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices is still quite capable."

    "It should have been banned long ago. A proper monthly sales event like this was almost spoiled by this guy. It was an insult for this fraud-like guy to be ced in the top 10 rankings."

    "I know, right?"

    The public was stirred.

    This was especially true for those shops ranked below Chen Feng. They felt like setting off fireworks to celebrate this. With Chen Feng out of the way, everyone had their ranking increased by one ce.

    Soon, the whole learning forum was bustling with noise and excitement again.

    "I heard The Strongest Gene was banned?"

    "They should have banned him long ago. Only reversed genes were sold in that shop. What¡¯s the point?"

    "Sigh. If you think of it, those genes were still newly discovered genes after all. Even if they are reversed genes, they still have some research value to them. Unfortunately, this Chen Feng..."

    "True. Since the shop owner is unreliable, what can you do? If I was in his shoes, I would release a research result for those new genes. With that, I can at least im a considerable amount of rewards."

    "He is still a rookie, after all."

    The public were discussing without stop.

    This decision to ban Chen Feng¡¯s shop had received unanimous support from these people.

    The incident surrounding Chen Feng had originally calmed down. However, with this, Chen Feng became a trending topic once again. Naturally, a topic would only be trending for a limited amount of time online. The public would probably forget about Chen Feng in a few days time.

    However, outside of everyone¡¯s expectations, a news outlet officially voiced their opinion about this incident! This was something entirely different from the free discussions online. The participation of the media would greatly affect the public opinion and could even influence the actions taken and the results.

    This incident was originally a joke. Nobody expected that the media would actually participate in this as well.

    Suffering from own actions! The consequences of breaking the rules! ¨C Cool Breeze Daily.

    The news from Cool Breeze Daily was delivered on schedule to the news bucket of their subscribers. These subscribers would be able see the news as soon as they opened their screen.

    This was how news was delivered in this new era.

    In the news, it was described in detail how Chen Feng had, in order to be famous and promote his shop to gain more traffic, started pricing genes at one million to gain publicity and make use of the price he set, that far exceeded the true value of his genes, to unhealthilypete, breaking the rules and shattering the bnce. In the end, he ended up suffering from his own actions!

    This was a typical article used to smear one¡¯s reputation. Within the article was a long description on how vile Chen Feng was, how angry other shop owners were, how other producers were unwilling to be associated with him, and how he was someone who attracted the anger of the masses. Finally, the fate that he finally suffered caused everyone to p their hands to cheer the fate that had befallen him.

    Even Chen Feng silently praised this article after reading it.

    Chen Feng sighed endlessly. "They are very well versed in the act of smearing others, eh."

    The media¡¯s participation did not surprise him. With Tao Lijun¡¯s position, it was normal for him to know someone from the media. From this, one could see how shady Tao Lijin was.

    Originally, The Strongest Gene was only something rted to those in the virtualmunity.

    Even if the shop was banned, its effect on Chen Feng was minimal. However, with the release of Cool Breeze Daily¡¯s article, the attention was totally shifted to Chen Feng from his shop. This time, what he wanted to destroy was Chen Feng as a person.

    He was nning to destroy Chen Feng without leaving him a way out.

    Banning your shop and ruining you as a person!

    This was Tao Lijun¡¯s method of dealing with someone, far exceeding what Professor Tao was capable of.

    "The young have surpassed the old?"

    Chen Feng smiled faintly.

    Regardless of the ban on Chen Feng¡¯s shop or influencing the public opinion, the timing of Tao Lijun¡¯s actions was perfect. However, he neglected one thing, which was also the crux of the whole matter. Chen Feng¡¯s genes were totally not trash genes as he had evaluated. This was the unshakable truth!

    What if everything one used to smear other¡¯s reputation were false?

    How would it progress?

    Chen Feng smiled. Would this be a repeat performance of what had happened to Professor Tao before?

    At a certain ruin, Ge Jun had finally escaped with great difficulty. Although he had sustained dire injuries, he had survived! He had survived despite his opponent being a heavily injured D-ss gic warrior! Although that D-ss gic warrior was heavily injured, that guy insisted on oppressing him. At his final moments, he tossed out the newly purchased mutated thundersnake gene!

    "Bang!"

    Even now he could not forget that dazzling radiance.

    His life was saved.

    As a gic warrior that always walked the thin line between life and death, he was very clear on the importance of a strong trump card. It was something equivalent to an extra life!

    Furthermore, his gains this time...

    After getting some simple treatment for his injuries at the hospital, Ge Jun went to The Strongest Gene once again. However, outside of his expectations, the shop was closed.

    Have the things inside been sold out?

    Ge Jun was feeling somewhat disappointed. He knew that something good like this would definitely be discovered by others sooner orter. However, when he looked at the shop in detail, he was stunned.

    It was banned?

    Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices?

    Ge Jun was stupefied. It was banned due to marking up the prices?

    "Old Yun, what happened?"

    Ge Jun contacted a friend he had made recently, Yun Zhongtian.

    The circumstances in which he knew Yun Zhongtian was somewhat interesting. At that time, they hade across each other at the countryside and started fighting each other. Finally, due to them being evenly matched, they both took out their trump cards. However, when they saw the thundersnake gene that had an obviously different radiance in their opponent¡¯s hand, they stopped.

    "The Strongest Gene?" they asked probingly, immediately understanding.

    The both of them had spent one million yuan to buy this mutated thundersnake gene with astonishing might. With this, neither of them dared to act. They were both clear on the might of this item. If they really tossed it out, they would die together. Hence, they both raised the mutated thundersnake gene in their hands as a sign of respect.

    As they understood what each other meant, with tacit understanding, they put away the gene in their hands. Just like that, they started exploring the ruins together. Since they met by fate and knew each other¡¯s trump card, they werefortable working together.

    "I saw it." Yun Zhongtian sighed. "Damn it. After buying the mutated thundersnake gene, I was only happy for two days before this shop was banned by the Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices. Those bastards had the nerve to do it."

    "Those idiots at the bureau don¡¯t know the value of the genes. However, don¡¯t the both of us know about it? That mutated thundersnake gene..." Ge Jun said softly.

    "Not only the mutated thundersnake gene." Yun Zhongtian sneered. "A few of my friends told me that the mutated gold ant gene was quite good as well. Unfortunately, we are already at E-ss and can¡¯t use it. Let me tell you. This producer is definitely not an ordinary producer. Now is the perfect opportunity for us to extend our friendship to him. Even if he doesn¡¯t need it, it would do us good to let him be familiar with our faces."

    Ge Jun¡¯s eyes shined. "You mean..."

    "Didn¡¯t you record your previous usage of that gene?" Yun Zhongtian grinned. "Get someone to edit it and upload the video online."

    "Alright."

    Ge Jun was excited.

    **

    At the same time, in the Wang family, Wang Chun¡¯s face was brimming with a smile. Just a short while ago, those seniors of his family had started using him as a bad example for their lessons once again. He immediately rebuked them and made known the fact that he had broken through. As he looked at the dumbstruck expression on those seniors that were always exceedingly proud, he felt immenselyfortable.

    This feels too good!

    As far as he was concerned, his only obstacle was breaking through the limit. As long as he broke through his limit, hisbat power would be exponentially increased! Within the same ss, he was undefeated! To be honest, if not for him choosing a peculiar gene and treading a peculiar path, could those bastards have been so unbridled before him?

    "Hum¡ª"

    His wristband vibrated.

    Wang Chun turned his screen on.

    "Brother."

    A youngster with a bitter expression on his face appeared.

    "What¡¯s the matter? There¡¯s still no mutated gold ant gene at The Strongest Gene?" Wang Chun asked curiously.

    The youngster sobbed. "The Strongest Gene has been banned!"

    "What?" Wang Chun¡¯s heart was shaken.

    After his breakthrough, he had rmended the gene to his close friends. One of them had managed to break through and enter E-ss. With that, everyone in their circle of friends was excited. Unfortunately, Chen Feng only put out some mutated thundersnake gene for sale after that, leaving them waiting.

    None of them expected the shop to be banned!

    Wang Chun was feeling doubtful. "Who did it?"

    "Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices."

    The youth was gloomy.

    "Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices..."

    Wang Chun pondered for a bit, "I got it. If you really need the mutated gold ant gene, you can entrust him to produce it for you. It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s more expensive. It¡¯s not like youck money anyway."

    "Oh, true."

    The youth was excited. "I will go and entrust it immediately."

    Gene entrustment! It was something only a high-level gene producer would receive! With that, they were able to charge a high price to custom-make a requested gene. Due to the high price, it was somethingmonly neglected.

    However¡ª

    That mutated gold ant gene was definitely something qualified to be entrusted.

    After ending the call, Wang Chun sank into contemtion.

    "Master."

    A gentle sound drifted to him from behind.

    A loving expression appeared on Wang Chun¡¯s face. As he turned around, he saw an exceptionally beautiful youngdy looking at him with a smile on her face. That youngdy¡¯s appearance was akin to a person out of aic book, possessing unprecedented beauty and allure.

    "What are you thinking about?" the youngdy asked gently.

    Wang Chun smiled. "Thinking about Chen Feng."

    "Chen Feng? The youngdy¡¯s eyes shined. "My benefactor?"

    Wang Chunughed. "Now that you are putting it that way, indeed he is."

    Chen Feng...

    No matter what, at his darkest moment, Chen Feng had helped him in taking this difficult step forward. As such, this little help that was within his capabilities, he would definitely give to Chen Feng.

    **

    The inte was currently filled with discussion. Now, Chen Feng was truly someone hated by everyone, detested by everyone, like a rat running across the street. At this moment, a video was being quietly uploaded onto the learning forum. The title of the video was: Strongest F-ss Gene.

    "It¡¯s that Chen Feng again?"

    A lot of people started watching the video curiously. However, when they started the video, they found something totally different. In the video was a warrior that had activated a certain gene reagent during his moment of crises. What followed was a terrifying white radiance descending from the sky. Although nobody could get a clear look at it, they could still feel the terrifying might of that reagent. A heavily injured D-ss warrior was killed by that attack. The wreckage left by the reagent confirmed its might.

    "Damn, too fierce!"

    "This power..."

    "What reagent is this? I don¡¯t know. I can¡¯t get a clear look."

    "Too scary!"

    Everyone eximed in admiration. "This is what a strongest gene truly is!"

    No words could be as convincing as an actual video.

    The demonstration of a strongest gene reagent had caused a sensation among the public. Different from what happened to Chen Feng, this video had gained arge amount of praise.

    "Take a clear look. This is a true strongest gene."

    "Yeah."

    "That Strongest Gene shop should really learn from this guy."

    "Look at this, he has the guts to put an extremely expensive price with only a trashy thundersnake gene and a trashy gold ant gene on his hands. Totally contrary to this guy, who actually possessed a genuine strongest gene yet remains obscure and unknown."

    Everyone started berating Chen Feng again.

    Everyone was too busy berating Chen Feng to the point that none noticed that the lightning that appeared when the unknown gene in the video was activated had actually assumed an appearance that was either a snake or a dragon.

    At the same time, another thread rose in poprity: The appearance of a legendary gene! This is a true F-ss strongest gene. What could that gene of yours be considered as?!

    The aggressive title had quickly attracted a lot of attention.

    What was interesting was that, since Chen Feng became the founder of clickbait titles, the titles of the threads in the learning forum started increasing in length, dazzling the eyes of the visitors.

    "What legendary gene?"

    "So boastful?"

    Everyone entered the thread curiously.

    Within the thread was another video. Although the video was partly censored, one could still clearly see that it was an F-ss warrior with only 100 attribute points. That guy proceeded to consume a bottle of gene reagent.

    "Bang!"

    His aura changed.

    He had directly broken through his limit!

    After scanning his attributes, his new attributes were released: His attribute had astonishingly reached 101 points!

    "He broke through?"

    "Is this for real? This is too vicious, right?"

    "Such a gene exists?"

    "I agree with the thread title. This is the real strongest gene. What is that exploding genepared with this gene?"

    "They each have their own uses, right?"

    The learning forum exploded with discussions once again.

    The strongest gene?

    Both these genes possessed the potential to be crowned as the strongest gene. Which would be the strongest gene? Everyone started arguing about it. However, no matter what, one thing they all agreed with was that those trash genes at Chen Feng¡¯s shop were not qualified to be called the strongest gene. He deserved getting his shop banned.

    These were the real strongest genes!

    What was interesting was that, after the appearance of these two genes, a lot of people started showing off some rare genes,peting for the crown of the strongest gene!

    All sorts of formidable F-ss genes appeared, stunning everyone present.

    However¡ª

    No matter what genes appeared, the exploding gene and limit-surpassing gene were the genes with the highest poprity.

    Someone started a chart to rank the strongest F-ss genes and both those genes ended up dominating the first and second rank of the chart. Furthermore, both genes were constantly fighting over the first rank.

    Both those genes became a trending topic.

    Furthermore, the fans for both genes were grouped together and started attacking the fans of the other gene. Things were getting explosive.

    As for Chen Feng?

    No one remembered him.

    **

    In the top floor of a hotel in Gold City, a person that Chen Feng never expected to appear was here. That person was Tao Lijun, who was currently talking cheerfully to a middle aged person.

    "Have you seen the discussions on The Strongest Gene shop at the learning forum?"

    The middle aged person smiled.

    "Yes I saw it."

    Tao Lijunughed. "Seems like our little friend Chen Feng is still somewhat capable. He should have reached the Gene Production Association by now, right?"

    The middle age man shrugged. "You need to be careful. After the association released their evaluation, this matter should end here."

    "There¡¯s no worries." Tao Lijun was calm. "I still have some connections in the association."

    "It¡¯s impossible to fake it." The middle age man shook his head. "Zhang Wei will not allow the evaluator to do the evaluation alone. Furthermore, that evaluator is your man."

    "Is there a need to fake it?"

    Tao Lijun smiled. "When a youngster gets too spirited, it¡¯s a good thing to let someone put some pressure on him. Lei Jun is a petty person. Since he wants to tter me, he will definitely be prejudiced against Chen Feng. When that happens, will Chen Feng swallow it? When conflicts arise between them, the other evaluators will naturally not give Chen Feng a good evaluation."

    "I have been in the Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices for a long time. Even if it¡¯s a good product, there is still a limit for its price."

    Tao Lijun smiled mysteriously. "As long as we press the price down, whatester will naturally be easier to handle."

    "True that."

    The middle age man smiled. "Don¡¯t fail due to carelessness on this supposedly easy task."

    "Not possible."

    A trace of contempt flickered in Tao Lijun¡¯s eyes. "What can a mere student like him do?"

    At the same time, as Tao Lijun said, Chen Feng had silently reached the Gene Production Association.

    The authority?

    Was there anyone more authoritative than the Gene Production Association?

    "It has been a while."

    Zhang Wei smiled. "You are now a celebrity."

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "I could do without this kind of poprity."

    Zhang Weiughed, "Haha. I have prepared the evaluation procedures for you. However, those evaluators are all obstinate people. I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to get any preferential treatment. Are you sure that your genes are not problematic?"

    He was still somewhat worried. After all, all those evaluations floating online...

    Chen Feng was confident. "Trust me."

    "All right." Zhang Wei patted his shoulder. "Let¡¯s go."

    The evaluation room was a huge room surrounded by ss radiating with blue light. The radiance brought a tinge of mysteriousness to the room. Within the room were seated ten gene evaluators. Chen Feng only needed to ce his gene reagents on the ss counter in the middle of the room for the virtual evaluation to proceed.

    "Name."

    "Chen Feng."

    "ss."

    "Beginner producer."

    "Verificationplete. What is the gene that requires evaluation?"

    "Mutated thundersnake gene," Chen Feng said calmly.

    On the evaluator¡¯s seats, the 10 evaluators silently exchanged nces. An evaluator that was somewhat old said, "We are aware of the reason you came here. We are also aware of what is happening online. You might have an amiable rtionship with Zhang Wei. However, it is impossible for us to actually issue a fake evaluation for you!"

    The first impression was important. These people seemed to have been somewhat affected by the public opinion online.

    "Oh?"

    Chen Feng looked at Zhang Wei and noticed that his expression was turning unsightly. For this evaluator to question Chen Feng in front of him, wasn¡¯t this totally not giving him any face?

    "There is no need to evaluate the thundersnake gene. The data from the gene scan is clear enough. The only changes arising from its mutation are the increase of the spiritual energy consumption by 10 points. Is there any need for evaluation? I personally find it illogical for Zhang Wei to insist on applying for this evaluation for you alone."

    That evaluator continued, "This preferential treatment is only given by Gene Production Association to certain members that the association focuses closely on. I do not believe that you are qualified for this preferential treatment."

    "And who might this person be?" Chen Feng asked curiously.

    "Lei Jun. An old evaluator of the Gene Production Association," Zhang Wei said indifferently. "A person of virtue and prestige who has been an evaluator in the Gene Production Association for 30 years."

    Lei Jun lifted his head proudly. He was the most experienced evaluator at the Gene Production Association of Gold City. He was also the most senior evaluator there.

    "No wonder." Chen Feng could feel the contempt from Zhang Wei¡¯s tone of voice. "Even after 30 years, he¡¯s still stuck here."

    Lei Jun¡¯s expression changed greatly. "What did you say?"

    "Whether any focus was ced on me by the association, does that have anything to do with you?"

    "What qualifications do you have to evaluate me as a person?"

    A cold glint flickered in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    After the increase in his strength, his worldview had changed as well. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn¡¯t be bothered with someone like this guy. However, that didn¡¯t mean that anyone could simply step on him! Especially not an F-ss evaluator!

    This was the Gene Production Association!

    The reason Chen Feng came was for certification and increasing his reputation!

    If even a random evaluator could treat him with contempt, in the future, everyone would know that this person could be easily bullied. Every random person here would dare to step on him.

    This was the reality of things!

    Furthermore...

    He had not offended anyone here!

    Would this old fart Lei Jun act against him for no apparent reason? Or was there someone else behind him? Hence, Chen Feng would definitely not step back from this!

    "You..."

    Lei Jun was ashen-faced.

    "Just do your job properly," Chen Feng said indifferently. "Since you are an evaluator, then just evaluate the gene reagent. You are not qualified to get involved in other matters."

    "Good. Very good."

    Lei Jun had an ugly expression on his face. He did not expect that a mere beginner producer would dare to talk to him like this. Since there were so many evaluators here, he would definitely not act recklessly. However, there was a range of scores for the evaluation data. Since Chen Feng was so unbridled, he would definitely give this guy the lowest range on the scores.

    I will let you know how stupid a choice it is for you to offend an evaluator...

    Lei Jun grinned.

    As for Zhang Wei?

    Lei Jun wasn¡¯t bothered about him at all.

    Zhang Wei might be higher ranked than him, but he was not Lei Jun¡¯s direct superior. He did not n to cheat or vite any rules. He only nned to give the lowest range of scores as allowed by the rules. Who could do anything to him this way?

    "Let¡¯s begin."

    Lei Jun coldly nced at Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng took out his mutated thundersnake gene reagent and gently ced it on the evaluation counter.

    The transparent sses covered the mutated thundersnake gene reagent. Around it, circles of azure-colored light started radiating. Rays of light started flickering around the evaluators.

    Lei Jun grinned. "Let me."

    "I suggest that you all do it together," Chen Feng suddenly said.

    Evaluators were also differentiated by their sses. These few evaluators in front of him were merely F-ss evaluators. Their personal strength was quite low. If they were to forcefully evaluate the mutated thundersnake gene reagent, Chen Feng was afraid that something ill might befall them.

    "There¡¯s no need." Lei Jun sneered. "What you said was correct. We should all do our job. Now, I am doing my job. This is not something you can get involved in right?"

    Chen Fengughed. "As you wish."

    Lei Jun snorted. "Hmph!"

    To return Chen Feng¡¯s own words back to him, he felt very satisfied.

    As for this mutated thundersnake gene reagent?

    He wasn¡¯t the least bit bothered by it. He had been an F-ss evaluator for 30 years. There was no gene that he had never seen before. He had even encountered 5-star genes previously. Hence, he did not fear this gene at all!

    "Hum¡ª"

    Radiance swirled before his eyes as Lei Jun entered the evaluation mode.

    The so-called gene evaluation was, in actuality, the act of simting the evaluation with a simted gene reagent. Under the circumstances where the gene reagent was not actually activated, they would try out the functions of the simted gene. As the whole process would be done in the evaluation room, the process would be monitored and the evaluation results would be detailed and urate.

    "Begin!"

    Lei Jun used his ability to simte the mutated thundersnake gene reagent.

    "Hum¡ª"

    An image appeared on all the screens in the evaluation room.

    Within the image, the mutated thundersnake gene reagent was hovering midair.

    This was what Lei Jun simted, a reagent that waspletely identical to a real mutated thundersnake gene reagent. Next, he would start simting the usage of this reagent.

    "Bang!"

    He triggered the explosion of the gene right away. The gene reagent changed into a ray of light before disappearing.

    "It¡¯s just this?"

    Lei Jun looked at the statistical data that did not have the slightest reaction against that and said, "This kind of trash..."

    "Bang!"

    An immense snake shaped lighting descended from the sky. Lei Jun¡¯s originally stable spiritual world copsed immediately as a terrifying power started shaking within it.

    "Bang!"

    The image on the screen shattered.

    "Pu!"

    Lei Jun vomited a mouthful of blood and was flung backward as his face paled.

    "Di di di!"

    The rm in the evaluation room started flickering crazily.

    Red lights flickered.

    "What happened?"

    Everyone¡¯s heart jolted violently.

 Chapter 67: Regretting Past Actions

    Chapter 67: Regretting Past Actions

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Senior Lei."

    Everyone¡¯s expression changed greatly and they hastily held him up.

    "Di di¡ª"

    The red light was still flickering. In a split second, all of Lei Jun¡¯s evaluation tools had reached their limit!

    "How is this possible?!"

    Looking at the mutated thundersnake gene reagent on the evaluation stage, Lei Jun muttered, "The power of this thing... this is not a thundersnake gene reagent!"

    "It¡¯s only natural for it to be a thundersnake gene reagent." Chen Feng smiled calmly. "This is a mutated gene. Are you really so stupid to believe that when the spiritual energy consumption rate increases, the power of the reagent would not change?"

    Lei Jun copsed emotionally. "But the same words, ¡®huge amount of destruction,¡¯ were clearly written on the gene¡¯s description."

    Chen Feng smiled faintly. "A score of 60 marks and 100 marks were both considered as passes in an examination. However, do you think that both those scores are the same?"

    Lei Jun was ashen faced, unable to say anything.

    "Continue?" Beside him, Zhang Wei smiled. "Or... get someone else to do it instead?"

    "I..."

    In this moment, Lei Jun understood that this mutated thundersnake gene reagent was not ordinary at all. He had evaluated 5-star special one-use reagents before and he was able to endure their power. However, this 4-star mutated reagent was actually able to directly destroy his spiritual world. This thing here was extremely powerful!

    This was a historic moment!

    This was a new mutated gene!

    He wanted to continue evaluating it even if he needed to apologize to Chen Feng. However, since his spiritual world had copsed, he would not be able to perform any evaluations for at least three days.

    Why had he not taken Chen Feng¡¯s advice?

    He was feeling regretful.

    Zhang Wei sneered and looked at another evaluator. "Little Lu, you do it."

    "All right."

    The others evaluators were all excited.

    This was the initial evaluation of a powerful mutated 4-star reagent. Once its value was ascertained, anyone who studied this reagent in the future would be able to see this evaluation report!

    Their names would all be listed on the report!

    "Hum¡ª"

    The nine of them worked together to create an evaluation world.

    As for Lei Jun, nobody could be bothered about him at this moment.

    "Whoosh!"

    Carefully, they simted the mutated gene reagent as its simtion appeared and exploded in midair and its terrifying power engulfed the spiritual world. A spiritual world constructed by the few of them was obviously much stronger than a spiritual world constructed by a single person. Hence, the spiritual world was able to stabilize with great difficulty, and all sorts of evaluation equipment started crazily recording all the relevant information.

    Spiritual statistics...

    Explosiveness statistics...

    Attack power...

    Reactivity...

    Etc.

    All sorts of information.

    Finally, the nine excited evaluators concluded their evaluation on this mutated thundersnake gene reagent.

    ---

    Gene name: Thundersnake Gene ¨C Unknown

    Gene type: Mutated

    Spiritual energy consumption: 20 points

    Gic ability: Equivalent to the strongest attack of a peak E-ss warrior

    Evaluated price: 1 million yuan

    ----

    "One million!"

    When the final result was released, even Zhang Wei was shocked. He originally thought that the one million price set by Chen Feng was something he randomly came up with. Never had he guessed that its true value was actually one million! However, as he recalled the terrifying power disyed earlier, he understood. An item of this level...

    Definitely worth this amount!

    Chen Feng smiled as he looked at the few evaluators. "Shall we proceed?"

    "Yes." Nine heads nodded frantically, like someone pounding garlic in a mortar.

    Who were they kidding? How could they miss such an opportunity? In the future, they would be known as the evaluators responsible for the evaluation of this mutated thundersnake gene reagent! As someone in their profession, they had seen the birth of a lot of new genes. However, most of them were trash genes. A gene at the level of Chen Feng¡¯s was something incredibly rare.

    Even the mutated thundersnake gene was so incredible, what about the next gene?

    Their hearts trembled at the mere thought.

    "How could things be like this?"

    Lei Jun felt like his body was ice cold.

    What a good opportunity this was. Why had he let go of it just like that?

    He was the group leader for the current evaluation. He could still lead them. However, why had everyone excluded him and continued on with the evaluation?

    How hateful!

    If it wasn¡¯t for Bureau Chief Tao...

    As he recalled that tiny sum of money he had received, he felt that he had made a big loss instead! However, regardless of how regretful he was, he could only swallow it down.

    Currently, Chen Feng had ced his mutated gold ant gene on the evaluation counter. Different from the thundersnake gene, this was a very ordinary gene without anything special.

    "This gene."

    Lei Jun exhaled in relief.

    If it was some other new mutated genes, he would have felt immensely remorseful. However, since it was this trash gene, he was somewhat relieved. He had studied this gene before. There was really nothing special about it. Only able to increase one point of an attribute, it wasn¡¯t particrly useful.

    "Ready up."

    The nine evaluators prepared.

    As they looked at the description of the mutated gold ant gene, they frowned. If it was only one point, the gene could only be a discarded gene. However, they weren¡¯t particrly disappointed.

    That single mutated thundersnake gene was enough to satisfy them.

    "This gene..."

    Abruptly, one of the evaluators opened his eyes wide.

    "Increase?"

    "One point?"

    The few of them suddenly realized something.

    After all, they were different than the idiotic herds online. They were true specialists.

    They had heard of what had happened online. However, producers like them had no time to visit that Strongest Gene shop. What they heard was a version of story that had been changed countless times after going through countless pairs of mouths. After they heard of it, they only smiled in contempt. It was currently the first time they had seen the gene with their own eyes.

    The first time they had seen the true mutated gold ant gene!

    "Could it be..."

    The few of them exchanged nces, all of them speechless.

    Whoosh!

    The whole evaluation room was suddenly enveloped in silence.

    After five seconds, the silence was broken!

    "Limit breakthrough?!"

    Everyone opened their eyes wide. Even Zhang Wei couldn¡¯t control himself and stood up, saying, "Damn! Is this for real?"

    If this was true...

    "Begin right away."

    Zhang Wei couldn¡¯t wait.

    The nine evaluators started hastily. The evaluation of the mutated gold ant gene was a safe process. They simted a person at the peak of F-ss and simted the consumption of the gene reagent. Subsequently, that simted person broke through the limit mode!

    Evaluation sessful!

    "It was really true."

    All of them were excited.

    Limit breakthrough?

    What was the significance of this?

    Since it was something only used for F-ss breakthrough, its price wouldn¡¯t be excessively high. However, the true value and significance this gene represented was absolutely way above the mutated thundersnake gene!

    Soon, the nine excited evaluators concluded their verdict.

    ----

    Gene name: Gold Ant Gene ¨C Unknown

    Gene type: Mutated

    Gic ability: Increase one point of spirit attribute

    Evaluated price: Above 1 million yuan

    ----

    It was not a simple one million, instead it was an evaluated price of ¡®above 1 million yuan¡¯!

    In other words.

    The Gene Production Association had acknowledged that this gene was much more valuable than the mutated thundersnake gene!

    "How could this be..."

    Lei Jun slumped powerlessly onto the ground.

    Two powerful mutated gene reagents, two mutated gene reagents destined to be known by all. Now, the nine evaluators¡¯ names would be etched forever into the evaluation report in the gene bank. The nine of them would be well-known through this, obtaining a better treatment from the association as a result!

    Except for him...

    "I can¡¯t ept this!" Lei Jun mumbled.

    "Hehe." Zhang Wei nced at him with disdain. He was not willing to be bothered with Lei Jun. This Lei Jun was merely someone that was somewhat old. As for his status? What could this Lei Jun be considered as? Regardless of how old you were, an evaluator was still an evaluator, after all.

    Seemed like he could finally deal with this guy now.

    "Congrattions."

    Zhang Wei shook Chen Feng¡¯s hands.

    He originally thought that even if Chen Feng were to be famous, it would take a long time for that to happen. He did not expect Chen Feng to go on and end up creating two continuous mystical mutated genes when he was just a mere rookie.

    This aplishment of his far exceeded that of Professor Tao!

    "Name it?"

    "Supreme. Both of them shall be known as supreme." Chen Feng smiled. "Supreme, it represents the pinnacle. The genes produce by me, regardless of whether they are weak or strong, they would be the most formidable among the same type of genes!"

    "Good," Zhang Wei praised.

    "Ding!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s personal information was once again updated.

    The column that originally only had ¡®Discovered Lumberbear Gene ¨C Battle¡¯ written on it had two additions: ¡®Thundersnake Gene ¨C Supreme¡¯ and ¡®Gold Ant Gene ¨C Supreme¡¯.

    "Supposedly, you should be rewarded for the discovery of these two new genes. However, due to the great significance represented by these two genes of yours, and also due to it being a contribution that had never happened in our Gold City¡¯s Gene Production Association, I decided to give you a nice surprise on behalf of the Gene Production Association," Zhang Wei said suddenly.

    "Oh?" Chen Feng did not know what to say.

    Zhang Wei smiled mysteriously."You will find out soon."

    Chen Feng was undisturbed. "I shall be looking forward to it."

    Leaving the association, Chen Feng had aplished what he came to do.

    With this evaluation report, he could clear his name any time he wanted. However, how he would go about it would totally depend on his mood.

    There was also that Bureau Chief Tao...

    "Let me see how long you can continue banning my shop."

    A cold glint flickered in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

 Chapter 68: Counterattack!

    Chapter 68: Counterattack!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    As he returned to his room, Chen Feng entered the virtualmunity. He nked when he saw the entrustments pending at his shop.

    1. One set of mutated gold ant gene request by Zhao Long. Offered price 1 million. Do you ept?

    2. One set of mutated gold ant gene request by Zhao Long. Offered price 1.5 million. Do you ept?

    3. One set of mutated gold ant gene request by Zhao Long. Offered price 2 million. Do you ept?

    Apart from this, Zhao Long also left a message behind: Boss, I really only have 2 million on me. Please produce a set of mutated gold ant gene for me. I have been stuck at this level for a long time, seeking a breakthrough!!!!!!

    "This..."

    Chen Fengughed involuntarily.

    Naturally, these were only the messages left by a single person. There were entrustments from at least five or six other individuals to produce mutated gold ant genes. Apart from this, there were also some who requested for production of mutated thundersnake gene and had simrly increased the price up to 1.2 million.

    Currently, the condemnations on Chen Feng were still progressing wildly online. In only one day¡¯s time, it was known to almost everyone. It was as if condemning Chen Feng was a way for someone to stay trendy. Around his shop, there were crowds of people spectating, earning the shops in the vicinity quite a sum from the traffic.

    "This senior is truly my lucky star."

    Windchanter sighed endlessly.

    Previously, this Chen Feng guy had gloriously rushed into the top 30 rankings. Subsequently, he gloriously rushed into the top 10, pushing Windchanter out of his original rank forcefully. This caused him to be endlessly depressed. However, outside of his expectations, Chen Feng was banned afterward. The other shops such as his shop that were around Chen Feng¡¯s shop had instead gained arger profit from the traffic.

    In this world, the future was truly unpredictable.

    "True."

    King Kong agreed with his sentiment.

    Due to Chen Feng, the sales volume of his shop had increased greatly as well. Furthermore, there were also signs of his shop getting into the top 30. This caused him to be filled with fighting spirit.

    "Do you think he will return?" Windchanter asked suddenly.

    "I... doubt it?" King Kong gave it some thought. "Things are already at this stage."

    "True."

    "He has aroused the anger of everyone."

    Windchanter smiled.

    However, just at this moment, they saw a disturbance break out in front of The Strongest Gene shop. One after another, sounds of people crying out in rm could be heard, attracting the attention of countless people.

    Windchanter¡¯s heart leaped. "What happened?"

    "Is Chen Feng here?" King Kong guessed.

    Both of them hastily made their way over. However, they only took a glimpse before they were both stunned.

    "This..."

    That¡¯s right. Everyone was stunned.

    That was because The Strongest Gene shop had released the entrustments it had recently received. No one had expected a mere shop like The Strongest Gene would actually have so many people requesting Chen Feng produce genes for them.

    Gene entrustment?

    This was something that normally only happened to grandmasters!

    "There are actually so many people requesting for Chen Feng to produce genes for them?"

    "Is this for real?"

    "Maybe these are the people Chen Feng hired to create publicity?"

    "Is that possible? Gene entrustment requires one to first ce their money at the virtualmunity before issuing the entrustment. Look at the amount involved here. Do you have any idea how big of a sum this money is?"

    "Let me make some calctions, 10 million, 20 million, hiss..."

    That person calcted and inhaled a mouthful of cold breath immediately. The total amount of entrustments Chen Feng received had exceeded 20 million!

    A frightening figure that far exceeded Chen Feng¡¯s current sales volume!

    If Chen Feng really had such an amount of money to be used for publicity, was there any need for him to participate in this event?

    Obviously, the answer was no.

    If that was the case... then there was a possibility that Chen Feng¡¯s sales volume was genuine?

    Everyone shivered.

    "What on earth is happening?"

    Everyone was rmed.

    Condemn? How were they supposed to condemn that?

    If the reagents produced by Chen Feng were really worthless, would people really purchase it? It couldn¡¯t be that those rich people were too rich and had no idea where to spend their money, so they end up looking for Chen Feng, right?

    Everyone quieted down. They knew that something major had happened!

    Soon, this news was spread to the learning forum as well. The whole learning forum exploded. Chen Feng had been keeping a low profile for so long, but once he made his move, he stirred everything up.

    "Something major is going to happen!"

    "I smell something fishy here."

    This time, arge majority of the people instead chose to be spectators as the event unfolded.

    At the same time, the hottest thread containing the video of the strongest gene had finally, under countless requests, released the name of the strongest F-ss gene in the video: Mutated thundersnake gene, originating from The Strongest Gene shop.

    "Bang!"

    The whole learning forum was in an uproar.

    Mutated thundersnake gene? The strongest gene that was iparably awesome yet possessing a terrifying might was actually the mutated thundersnake gene sold by Chen Feng?

    "Is this real?"

    "How can this be bogus? It came from that guy¡¯s own mouth."

    "No wonder it was sold for 1 million yuan. This price was definitely more than worth the value of that gene."

    "Yeah, I saw the entrustment list released by Chen Feng earlier. There were indeed several people requesting for Chen Feng to produce this gene with a high price."

    "Wait, if this is the mutated thundersnake gene, then the other gene..."

    Some of the people suddenly thought of something else.

    At the same time, the top-ranked strongest F-ss gene had simrly released the name of the gene: Mutated gold ant gene, originating from The Strongest Gene shop!

    "Bang!"

    The whole learning forum was in an uproar.

    This time, the reveal was truly explosive.

    So not only the mutated thundersnake gene, even the mutated gold ant gene was produced by Chen Feng? Both genes crowned as the strongest gene reagents were produced by Chen Feng?

    At this time, countless people felt like they¡¯d had their faces pped.

    The strongest genes they had used to step on Chen Feng for so long ended up being something originating from his very own shop?

    This was truly...

    Wait.

    If it was the strongest gene, why would the shop be banned?

    "Yeah."

    "If there are no issues, why would the shop be banned?"

    A lot of people realized this question as well. "Even Cool Breeze Daily said that this was Chen Feng¡¯s self-marketing."

    A lot of people were still feeling doubtful.

    At this moment, a familiar thread appeared on the forum. The heart of anyone who saw it leaped. That familiar ID, that familiar tone, and that familiar thread title.

    [Shocking! The chief of Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices colluded with Cool Breeze Daily and did these things to an elderly man over 70 years of age!]

    "Damn, this title..."

    "These clickbait titles are truly hateful. I really don¡¯t want to tap it; however, I can¡¯t control my hands."

    "Ah ah ah ah ah, what did they do?"

    "Wretched title!"

    "Don¡¯t enter the thread and continue encouraging such hateful titles."

    Countless people started condemning.

    However, despite how everyone was saying they wouldn¡¯t enter the thread, their actions were truly honest. Instinctively, they entered the thread and saw a shocking inside story.

    Professor Tao!

    The main character in the lumberbear gene incident.

    Professor Tao was the person who lost his standing after being exposed by Chen Feng. As for the chief of Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices? He was the son of Professor Tao! With this, everything became apparent.

    Chen Feng had released thetest evaluation on his genes.

    ----

    Gold ant gene ¨C supreme, Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices¡¯s evaluated price: 10,000 yuan, Gene Production Association¡¯s evaluated price: 1 million yuan and above.

    Thundersnake gene ¨C supreme, Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices¡¯s evaluated price: 50,000 yuan, Gene Production Association¡¯s evaluated price: 1 million yuan.

    ----

    With thisparison, was there any need for him to say anything else?

    In his thread, Chen Feng started his bombardment on Cool Breeze Daily and Bureau Chief Tao. At the end of his thread, he even released another set of information ¨C the true owner of the Lumberbear Gene Guide and aparison between Professor Tao¡¯s Lumberbear Gene Guide and the guide released by Mu Yuan¡¯s grandfather.

    Professor Tao was once again a hot topic.

    "Damn!"

    "Even the Lumberbear Gene Guide was not something produced by Professor Tao?"

    "Damn it! Even when he stole Chen Feng¡¯s research result, I was defending him. No one can avoid making mistakes in their life after all, who knew that..."

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

    A lot of people were enraged.

    Especially those fans that had insisted on defending Professor Tao.

    "So all this was not Professor Tao¡¯s results?"

    "Damn, I was blind."

    "This father and son duo are both good-for-nothings!"

    The whole inte was filled with curses. Their anger from being yed around by the father and son duo and their anger from getting face pped by Chen Feng was all unleashed on the Tao father and son duo.

    At this moment, the public outrage waspletely unleashed onto the involved parties. The Tao father and son duo were flooded by endless waves of discussions online, while the number of subscribers of Cool Breeze Daily declined at an inconceivable speed!

    "It¡¯s nearly there, right?"

    Chen Feng watched coldly as everything unfolded.

    The appearances of the two videos was somewhat surprising for him. However, it had also served as stronger proof for his case. Together with the release of the entrustment list, the thread he posted, and the release of the Gene Production Association¡¯s evaluation results, the truth was revealed!

    "What will you do next?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were ice cold.

    He refused to believe that Bureau Chief Tao would just sit and wait for death like that.

    If that was the case... assassination?

    Chen Feng sneered.

    He had thoroughly prepared himself.

    Luck value, mutated thundersnake genes, and monitoring his vicinity. He hadpleted his preparations. Even if all that was not sufficient, he could still contact Wang Yao!

    He was looking forward to seeing what kind of person could Bureau Chief Tao send toward him.

    Chapter 69: Covering the Skies with One Hand!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Currently, within a certain attic, Tao Lijun was looking at the expos¨¦ taking ce online with an unprecedentedly calm expression on his face. After a long time, he shook his head. "I miscalcted."

    "Little Jun."

    Professor Tao had a bitter expression on his face.

    He did not expect the whole incident would progress to such an extent. If it involved only him, then so be it. However, if it implicated his son, their Tao family would be truly finished.

    "No worries." Tao Lijun smiled. "If I couldn¡¯t even deal with something like this, I would have lived all these years for nothing."

    "Ah?" Professor Tao was bewildered. The whole incident had reached this point. What else could they do?

    "Just you see." Tao Lijun smiled indifferently. "In the beginning, I had been neglectful. I treated Chen Feng as a bug that couldn¡¯t aplish much and ended up getting checkmated by him instead. This kid is truly not simple."

    "But..."

    "It¡¯s about time for this to end." Tao Lijun coldly stared off into the distance. "Since I now truly treat him as an opponent, I won¡¯t give him any chance to counterattack. It seems like it¡¯s time I start using certain resources that I originally wasn¡¯t willing to use."

    "Pa!"

    Tao Lijun pped. A fluttering bug was smashed to death on the wall.

    "Look at it. Regardless of how fast it flies, a bug is still a bug." Tao Lijun patted his father¡¯s shoulder. "Your son has been a bureau chief for 20 years. Am I someone who can be shaken by a mere producer like him?"

    "His methods are quite good. However, he¡¯s too naive. Just wait and see. He won¡¯t be able to do much."

    Tao Lijun smiled coldly.

    Who was he? He was Tao Lijun! The chief of the Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices! Although he didn¡¯t possess much influence in real life, now that he was personally here at Gold City, who would dare to not give him some face?

    This was reality!

    Chen Feng? A mere clown.

    "It¡¯s about time to start, right?" Tao Lijun mumbled.

    **

    Currently, at the learning forum, 30 minutes had passed since the exposure of the incident.

    The scope of the public outrage was no longer small. However, at this very moment, all the threads posted by Chen Feng were deleted from the learning forum.

    Once again, they evaporated into thin air!

    The scamming father and son duo, Tao family unmasked.

    Dogs of Cool Breeze, spreader of rumors,e out and battle me for an extra 300 rounds.

    ...

    All threads attacking Tao Lijun, Professor Tao, and Cool Breeze Daily were submerged by arge amount of new threads.

    Disappeared! Everything had disappeared!

    "My thread disappeared?"

    "Mine too."

    "What happened?"

    Some people were feeling doubtful. However, they could no longer post anything. Every ount that had posted something simr had been temporarily banned.

    At a nce, everything appeared calm at the learning forum.

    "They dared to delete the threads?"

    A lot of people were seething with rage and nned to start causing trouble.

    However, right at this moment, the extramarital affair of a celebrity producer was suddenly exposed, shocking the whole inte. The learning forum was instantly flooded by news about this!

    All the media outlets, the learning forum, and the public were paying close attention to this incident.

    Chen Feng? Who was that?

    Chen Feng had vanished without trace from the whole learning forum.

    When Chen Feng noticed this, he was stupefied. He did not expect that after their experience with the Professor Tao incident, they would still dare to do this even when the current incident had been exposed for over 30 minutes.

    The same thing was happening all over again.

    However, different from what Professor Tao had done previously, when Bureau Chief Tao made his move, his methods were much crueler and more direct, not leaving any chance for him to strike back at all. All who defended Chen Feng were instantly banned from the learning forum.

    Every single relevant information was flooded by the news regarding the extramarital affair. No signs of Chen Feng were left behind.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. How could there be such a coincidence? He didn¡¯t even need to think hard to know that this was something used to cover up his incident. They had decided to use an evenrger incident to cover this up.

    This was amonly used method to shift the public¡¯s attention.

    Bureau Chief Tao was vicious indeed, not leaving any chance for him to strike back.

    "Such a vicious method."

    Chen Feng was shocked.

    He did not expect that those from the learning forum would do such a thing.

    Was it due to the status of Bureau Chief Tao?

    Or was it... because he knew some of their secrets?

    Chen Feng was not sure. However, there truly was no ce he could lodge hisint now. He had the evaluation report of the Gene Production Association in his hands. However, he wasn¡¯t even given the chance to release the report.

    "Maybe I should try the other newspapers?"

    Chen Feng tried contacting some newspapers.

    However, everyone ignored him.

    There were some who went as far as to end the call directly after finding out whom he was. Even the mainpetitors of Cool Breeze Daily were unwilling to be involved in current incident.

    The reason for that was unknown.

    "Is this another masterpiece of Bureau Chief Tao?"

    Chen Feng sneered.

    This was indeed somewhat exceeding his expectations. He thought that Bureau Chief Tao would perform assassination like he had in the past. He did not expect the guy who had tried to assassinate him several times would choose to instead abuse his power to suppress Chen Feng.

    What a person, this Bureau Chief Tao.

    "Are you truly able to suppress the public outrage?"

    Chen Feng entered the virtualmunity. However... the released entrustments to his shop had disappeared.

    Now, even the entrustments to The Strongest Gene shop had disappeared without a trace. On his ount was only a simple piece of information: The entrustment function of your shop ¡®The Strongest Gene¡¯ has been temporarily cancelled due to a vition of rules.

    Chen Feng was speechless.

    "It has been cancelled?" he mumbled.

    He did not find this surprising.

    He had seen thising the moment his thread was deleted and the public¡¯s attention was shifted. Since Bureau Chief Tao had taken care of everything, how would he forget about The Strongest Gene shop?

    This... was Tao Lijun¡¯s counterattack.

    In a certain high rise building, Professor Tao was watching the developments online with excitement. He had never imagined that his son would be powerful to such an extent¡ªcreating clouds and rain with a wave of his hand!

    Too powerful!

    "Son, you are too impressive."

    Professor Tao was excited.

    "I owed some people favors because of this." Tao Lijun shook his head. "I originally had great use for these favors. It¡¯s a pity that I have wasted it here."

    "Hehe."

    Professor Tao smiled embarrassingly.

    He had nothing now. As such, he no longer dared to look down on this son of his.

    "How about my reputation..." Professor Tao asked greedily.

    "Don¡¯t worry." Tao Lijunughed involuntarily. "You are my father. How could I forget you? Wait until this matter calms down. I will get someone to clear your name."

    Professor Tao nodded emotionally. "Good, good, good."

    "Ah."

    Tao Lijun looked out of the window indifferently.

    It¡¯s truly lonely at the top.

    Chen Feng brat, now do you know how the real world works? Regardless of how talented you are, as far as I am concerned, you are nothing but a bug.

    This... was the real world!

    Time flowed.

    One hour, two hours...

    The public was still paying attention to the extramarital affair.

    As for Chen Feng? Who¡¯s that? Only a small amount of people were still paying attention to him. Furthermore, these people were those who had been banned from the forum. Even if they knew the truth, they no longer dared to continue shooting their mouth off. There were some who had posted some harsh words trying toin about this only to end up having the trust level of their ount reduced by the learning forum, with ¡®starting rumors¡¯ as the reason.

    With this, they stopped saying anything.

    Who still dared to defend Chen Feng?

    None!

    The Chen Feng incident vanished quietly just like that.

    As for The Strongest Gene shop? It would probably quietly remain banned until one day when this spot finally turned into another new shop, while Chen Feng¡¯s shop that once existed waspletely forgotten.

    This... was the scariest possibility.

 Chapter 70: Chen Fengâ€™s Killing Intent

    Chapter 70: Chen Feng¡¯s Killing Intent

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the top of a certain high rise building in Gold City, Tao Lijun was seated together with a middle-aged man.

    "Seems like our little friend is now stuck at an impasse," he said to the middle-aged man seated opposite him, smiling.

    "Watching the struggle of a bug is still quite pleasurable," Tao Lijun said indifferently. "I have aplished something, after all, out of my Gold City trip this time. After some time passes, you can start helping my father recover his reputation."

    "Don¡¯t be in too much of a rush," the middle-aged man said. "Be careful lest something unexpected happen."

    "Unexpected? How is that possible?" Tao Lijun sneered. "Is there anyone capable of doing anything against me at a ce like this?"

    There were only a few people in Gold City that he did not dare to offend.

    Those people were all those who had no rtions whatsoever with Chen Feng.

    This was the basis for his confidence.

    At the same time, within the rented house, Chen Feng was quietly watching on as the situation progressed. The way this whole incident had progressed had far exceeded his expectations. He had still underestimated Bureau Chief Tao, after all. Earlier, Mu Yuan had contacted him and made known one thing to him: What he was currently experiencing was exactly the same thing that happened to Mu Yuan¡¯s grandfather in the past.

    Total shutdown!

    His shop was banned; his bank ount was frozen, and he, as a person, was also greatly discredited.

    Granted, Chen Feng¡¯s previous exposure hadsted for half an hour and was noticed by some people. However, arge majority of people were still unaware of the truth.

    In their eyes, Chen Feng was still the producer with questionable moral standings.

    This was Tao Lijun¡¯s total shutdown!

    Shutting him down to his death!

    "Is there no other way?"

    Chen Feng looked at Mu Yuan.

    "...."

    Mu Yuan kept quiet. If there were really other methods, how could his grandfather have lived in disgrace for so many years? Although the Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices was not really influential in real life, the chief hade to Gold City in person. As long as he exchanged some benefits with those rich and influential officials here, it was simply too easy to shut a beginner producer like Chen Feng down.

    In the past, that was also what happened to his grandfather.

    "How did your grandfather get the ban lifted previously?" Chen Feng abruptly asked.

    "By apologizing and admitting that all those were Professor Tao¡¯s research results."

    Mu Yuan was feeling hateful.

    This was the greatest disgrace of his grandfather. Those were something that belonged to him, and he was the one in the right. However, due to the harsh reality, things ended up in such a way?

    Howmentable was that!

    And now, what his grandfather experienced was repeating with Chen Feng.

    "I¡¯m sorry." Mu Yuan clenched his fist. "If it wasn¡¯t for me, you wouldn¡¯t..."

    "No worries." Chen Feng smiled. "It¡¯s nothing major."

    "Ah?" Mu Yuan was astonished. "You can still smile? This total shutdown from Tao Lijun is very terrifying. At the very least, you won¡¯t be able to get anything done for a few years. Or else..."

    "Do you look down on me that much?"

    Chen Feng stretchedzily and a hint of smile appeared in his eyes. "Don¡¯t worry. This will end soon."

    "???"

    Mu Yuan was totally confused.

    End soon? How is that possible?

    However, Chen Feng had ended the call with him.

    "Tao Lijun..."

    The corner of Chen Feng¡¯s mouth curled as he smiled.

    What a good method! However, has it ever crossed your mind that the effectiveness of your methods might lead to your very death?

    "Is there no other way to solve this?"

    Chen Feng was feeling somewhat regretful. He checked online and found that news about him had been flooded underneath waves of other news. He tried posting new threads to find that he remained blocked. There were no signs that his ID was going to get unblocked either.

    In the virtualmunity, his shop remained banned as well.

    "Is there a need for this?"

    Chen Feng sighed. "Bureau Chief Tao, you are truly courting death."

    He really didn¡¯t want to use this kind of method.

    Unfortunately...

    He turned his wristband screen on.

    "Hum¡ª"

    A list of names appeared.

    Since he did not have many friends, only several names appeared on his contact list on the screen. However, all these were those who he couldmunicate well with.

    And one of them was...

    Chen Feng paused at Wang Yao¡¯s name.

    "Wang Yao..." Chen Feng whispered.

    Three favors from Wang Yao for the seadragon blood essence.

    He had originally thought that he would never use these favors. Never had he expected that only a few days would pass before he needed to use one of the favors. His chosen method was a simpler and crueler method¡ª

    Kill!

    Wasn¡¯t Bureau Chief Tao someone who enjoyed assassinating others? He sent someone to assassinate Chen Feng twice in the past. Now, Chen Feng only needed to repay him once.

    Tao Lijun was indeed well connected with the authorities.

    However, what if he was dead?

    Would those people still work for him?

    Naturally not.

    Regardless of how close they were, those people would not work for a dead person.

    Furthermore...

    In order to distance themselves from him, they might even step on him while he was down.

    The whole incident involving Chen Feng would be settled instantly. As for their suspicions, regardless of how suspicious those people got, they would never end up suspecting Chen Feng. Chen Feng did not originally want to use this method. However, it appeared that Bureau Chief Tao was somewhat suicidal?

    "He is truly courting death."

    Chen Feng sighed regretfully.

    As he tapped on the name Wang Yao, Chen Feng prepared to contact her.

    Suddenly, a silhouette of light appeared before him.

    A familiar looking person appeared with smile on his face. "Chen Feng, take a trip over to Gene Production Association."

    It was actually Zhang Wei!

    Chen Feng nked momentarily. "Me?"

    "Juste. Something good is about to happen," Zhang Wei said mysteriously.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped. "Alright."

    Would that be the Association¡¯s reward?

    Since he was only a beginner producer now, it was impossible for the Gene Production Association to help him out with his predicament. Furthermore, this was something that was happening in the virtualmunity. Hence, there was no ce for the Gene Production Association to get involved in this. However, he was truly curious as to what the association¡¯s reward would be.

    The so-called mysterious reward mentioned by Zhang Wei...

    Chen Feng stared at Wang Yao¡¯s name on his contact list and ended up not tapping on it.

    "Let¡¯s go over to take a look. It¡¯s still not toote to deal with Bureau Chief Tao when I return."

    Chen Feng pondered. The Gene Production Association was, after all, not an organization with an ordinary status. He might encounter something that could change his current situation over there.

    Chen Feng arrived at the Gene Production Association as agreed. Zhang Wei was already there waiting with several others. A few of them appeared unordinary and seemed to be in some sort of a discussion.

    Chen Feng was feeling somewhat doubtful. What are they doing?

    "Shh." Zhang Wei smiled mysteriously. "Today, your only job is to smile."

    Chen Feng pondered thoughtfully.

    In the distance, those people were in a discussion. When they saw Chen Feng, they walked over to him.

    "You are that Chen Feng?"

    A middle-aged person with a smile on his face looked at Chen Feng as his eyes lightened up. Before Chen Feng could answer, he patted Chen Feng¡¯s shoulder. "Lad, not bad. Continue working hard!"

    After he finished, he continued forward with the others.

    Chen Feng: "...."

    He looked at Zhang Wei, but Zhang Wei only smiled mysteriously and hinted for him to just follow along. Hence, Chen Feng could only follow along in confusion. However, even when all those people left, he had still not seen any mysterious gift.

    "I have given you the reward." Zhang Wei patted his shoulder. "Kid, this time you earned big."

    "Ah?"

    Chen Feng was still lost.

    "You will know when you¡¯re home."

    Zhang Wei smiled happily. Whenever they met, Chen Feng was always confident, behaving like he had victory grasped in his hands all along. That was totally uncharacteristic of his identity as a freshly graduated youngster. As such, Zhang Wei was naturally happy to see him in such a bewildered state.

    "This guy..."

    Chen Feng did not know whether tough or cry.

    When he was home, half the day had passed. After the trip he had made, he did not seem to have gained anything. As for the mysterious reward mentioned by Zhang Wei...

    Chen Feng checked his bank ount, thinking that the association had rewarded him with money. However, he found nothing.

    "What is it, exactly?"

    Chen Feng was curious.

    However, right at this moment, a piece of news released by Gold City Daily attracted Chen Feng¡¯s attention. He would not normally pay attention to such news. However, this time, the headline of the news...

    Had actually covered him as the front page!

    And that middle-aged man that was patting his shoulder earlier!

 Chapter 71: Heaven and Earth Turned Upside Down

    Chapter 71: Heaven and Earth Turned Upside Down

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Damn!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes widened abruptly.

    This was a daily newspaper! A proper media!

    The content of the news was quite simple:

    The vice president of Gene Production Association arrived at the Gold City branch of their association for an all-around inspection, all sort of jobs done, etc. There was only a short sentence in the whole news article pertaining to Chen Feng: The mutated gold ant gene created by young genius Chen Feng was crowned as the strongest F-ss gene!

    "Strongest gene?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s hand trembled.

    Although it was merely F-ss, this was something said by the vice president himself! He was unsure of whether this sentence was the vice president¡¯s exact words or if his original words were somewhat different. However, with this sentence, Chen Feng¡¯s position in Gold City became unshakable!

    At the very least, among all the beginner producers in Gold City, none were capable of surpassing Chen Feng!

    "Gold ant gene?"

    Chen Feng was speechless from shock.

    The Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices could reject his genes, and those gic warriors and producers that weren¡¯t quite knowledgeable could also reject his genes. However, now, the vice president had personally acknowledged Chen Feng¡¯s strongest gene!

    So this was the mysterious reward mentioned by Zhang Wei.

    What a heavyweight reward.

    Chen Feng was overwhelmed by emotions.

    Wait...

    Chen Feng suddenly thought of something. If even the daily newspaper was speaking out for him, would there be any changes to his discredited reputation online?

    After checking online, Chen Feng was dumbstruck.

    Changes?

    It was not something as simple as some changes. The whole inte had practically erupted.

    The strongest gene? Vice president?

    If it was a title crowned privately by the public, the news would only spread in a small scale. However, when these very words came out of the mouth of the vice president himself, the whole inte erupted. What kind of gene exactly was this strongest F-ss gene crowned by the vice president himself?

    A lot of people who were unaware of the truth started searching about it.

    The mutated gold ant gene was exposed.

    At the same time, the incident involving Chen Feng couldn¡¯t be hidden anymore either.

    Was the authority of Bureau Chief Tao high?

    Yes!

    Covering the skies with one hand of his, doing whatever he wanted. It truly sounded amazing. However, it was only amazing whenpared with a beginner producer like Chen Feng. In front of a true grandmaster or the Gene Production Association, he was nothing.

    How could he cover this up?

    The speed in which new threads were created was faster than the speed in which the learning forum was able to delete them.

    Furthermore, they were able to delete the threads of normal people. However, this time, among those who posted threads to inquire about the truth in the learning forum, there were arge amount of great gene producers. Who dared to delete their threads?

    Nobody!

    Besides that, this time, the daily newspaper had formally talked about this. At this moment, all those traditional media outlets started talking about this as well.

    Conceal?

    It couldn¡¯t be concealed at all!

    Chen Feng was trending. The Strongest Gene shop was trending. The three mutated genes were trending once again as well.

    "Chen Feng had actually been banned?"

    "The reason being these two strongest genes were not worth 1 million?"

    "Not only that. I have seen the evaluation released by the Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices. They only evaluated it at 10,000. How dishonest. They were courting death by doing this!"

    Everyone was shocked.

    "This Chen Feng was someone who had created three mutated forms yet had actually gotten himself banned. This world..."

    Some people found this inconceivable.

    One mutated form might be a coincidence. Two mutated forms might be due to luck. How about three? It was sufficient to demonstrate Chen Feng¡¯s talent!

    In other words, Chen Feng possessed extraordinary talent in this aspect. However, even with this, those people still dared to ban him this way? Truly inconceivable!

    "The learning forum seems to have deleted a lot of threads."

    "Comin!"

    "The Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices is still banning The Strongest Gene shop."

    "Comin!"

    "Cool Breeze Daily was also involved in discrediting Chen Feng."

    "Report them!"

    The whole inte erupted.

    Seas ofints and reports flooded the learning forum, virtualmunity, and Cool Breeze Daily. Within were also reports filed by influential persons from all walks of life, using their real names.

    This sensationalized the whole inte!

    Everyone was aware that, regardless of who was pulling the strings, these people were truly finished!

    When the manager of the learning forum found out about this, he was bursting with rage. This had always been the ce where elite schrs and people with all sorts of authority engaged in intellectual discussions. The forum moderators only had the authority to delete the threads of beginner members, increasing the credit, etc. They had no authority to delete anything written by some advanced members.

    Every deletion of something posted by an advanced member would need to be audited.

    However, even with this, such a scandal still happened.

    The moderators had actually colluded with some people to delete the thread posted by the beginner ount of Chen Feng and banned arge amount of beginner members.

    "Who gave you all the guts to do this?!"

    The manager was furious.

    On that day itself, he directly sent someone to take all those moderators to the prison.

    He was clear that, since incident had happened, a satisfactory answer needed to be given to their members.

    A satisfactory answer to Chen Feng as well.

    Expelling those moderators? It was insufficient to calm the anger of the masses.

    Only by sending all those people to prison would he calm the masses down. Only with this could the learning forum preserve their prestige.

    There was also another reason for this: Killing the chicken to warn the monkey!

    It was about time the circle of moderators experienced some changes.

    The manager smiled coldly.

    Soon, the deleted threads were reinstated.

    Chen Feng¡¯s thread appeared once again, triggering hot discussions about it. The Tao father and son duo instantly became a rat hated by everyone. Only now did everyone realize what was truly hidden behind the extramarital affair earlier. With this, the truth had been truly exposed.

    Aspensation, Chen Feng¡¯s beginner ount was given an exception and changed into an advanced member of the learning forum.

    This was a treatment that was normally only given to advanced producers.

    There were really no other options. This was not the first time something happened to Chen Feng. In the manager¡¯s eyes, Chen Feng was akin to a bomb. Only a tiny effort was required in order to cause an explosion.

    He was also afraid that something simr would happen again.

    At the same time, after the exposure of Chen Feng¡¯s incident gained the attention of the high-level management of the virtualmunity, Old Ding from the Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices was also sent to prison.

    Decisive punishment!

    There were things that could be neglected if they weren¡¯t exposed. However, after exposure? It was akin to ying with fire!

    What was the status of the learning forum and the virtualmunity?

    Everyone was clear on this. They were the tycoons of their respective industry!

    Their leaders would not be pulling tricks for such trifle matters. What their users wanted was a certain attitude from them, a fair environment! Hence, for Chen Feng and also for themselves, both sides decided to handle this matter decisively and give a certain level ofpensation to Chen Feng. Only after this the public outrage started disappearing.

    As for Cool Breeze Daily...

    "Villians colluding together. The crime of Cool Breeze Daily?"

    "Where is the trustworthiness of the media?"

    "Is Cool Breeze really a ¡¯cool breeze¡¯?"

    All sorts of news articles emerged. Although they had provided exnations, issued their apology, and sent the relevant reporters to prison, their credibility was still declining rapidly.

    Everyone was clear that Cool Breeze Daily was finished.

    Losing their credibility as a media outlet, they were currently worthless. Even if they were able to survive this incident, they were already nearly destroyed. It was said that, in one single day, their subscription base dropped by 50%. Furthermore, this amount was still increasing rapidly!

    Even Cool Breeze Daily did not expect everything to change in a single night.

    Only one day had passed! They had just released their report on the Chen Feng incident yesterday only to have their face pped harshly today. An erroneous report had destroyed the whole Cool Breeze Daily.

    At this moment, when Tao Lijun saw the newspaper headline, when he saw that the picture on the cover was actually the vice president and Chen Feng, he almost fainted from his agitation.

    The vice president of the magnificent Gene Production Association...

    How was that possible!

    Tao Lijun was sweating profusely.

    He had been paying all his attention on this Gold City and had even sent people to monitor the situation. However, he could have never guessed that the Gene Production Association would be the one helping Chen Feng out!

    "Something is going to happen."

    Tao Lijun¡¯s first reaction was to resist. He abandoned all his belongings and prepared to flee immediately. However, just as he reached the door, he found that there were already several people waiting for him there.

    "Bureau Chief Tao, I¡¯m afraid you will have to take a walk with us."

    "Thump!"

    Tao Lijun slumped on the ground.

    He knew that everything was finished.

    He had everything nned out. Yet what escaped him was the fact that Chen Feng actually knew the magnificent vice president. If he knew this earlier...

    Tao Lijun closed his eyes in despair.

    Naturally, he did not know that Chen Feng did not know the vice president at all. There was also no need for Chen Feng to know the vice president.

    In this world, there was still justice, after all. Since what the Gene Production Association wanted was vigorous growth, they would not allow a talented producer like Chen Feng to be wasted.

    If they had not found out about it, then it wouldn¡¯t have mattered. However, since Zhang Wei mentioned it, they had to act on this!

    The two mutated forms with high star ratings were the brand representing Chen Feng!

 Chapter 72: The Final Craziness!

    Chapter 72: The Final Craziness!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Within his rented house in Gold City, Chen Feng was watching the spectacr drama unfolding online.

    Zhang Wei¡¯s picture appeared on his screen. "Are you satisfied with the mysterious reward?"

    "Many thanks." Chen Feng couldn¡¯t thank him enough.

    "It¡¯s fine." Zhang Wei smiled as he said, "Coincidentally, the vice president was here to check on us. I merely conveniently mentioned this issue to him. Frankly, this is due to your own contributions, the strongest F-ss genes. Without both of those genes, the vice president would probably have ignored me."

    Chen Fengughed involuntarily.

    "Today is thest day of the month," Zhang Wei suddenly mentioned. "If you are still nning to participate in the event, this is a good opportunity for you!"

    Event?

    Chen Feng was immediately tempted.

    After ending the call, he entered the virtualmunity to take a look. The ban on his shop had indeed been lifted.

    However, different from before, his shop was currently incredibly popr. Countless people were queued up in front of his shop waiting for the shop opening.

    Chen Feng took a glimpse at the relevant information pertaining to his shop and was immediately shocked. This...

    Entrustment!

    A whole list of entrustments!

    One set of gold ant gene ¨C supreme request by Zhou **[1]. Offered price 2 million. Do you ept?

    One set of gold ant gene ¨C supreme request by Liu **. Offered price 1.5 million. Do you ept?

    One set of thundersnake gene ¨C supreme request by Wang **. Offered price 1.2 million. Do you ept?

    One set of gold ant gene ¨C supreme request by Feng **. Offered price 2.5 million. Do you ept?

    ...

    Everyone was here in order to ce their entrustments.

    The mutated gold ant gene had became famous due to its distinct ability to surpass one¡¯s limit, while the mutated thundersnake gene had became famous due to its ability to enable an F-ss warrior to unleash power equaling a peak E-ss warrior.

    Insane!

    Everyone had gone insane!

    Chen Feng was shocked. There were so many rich people in this world?

    Naturally, that wasn¡¯t the case.

    A gene capable of surpassing one¡¯s limit had never appeared in all of history. As such, some people who had been stuck at F-ss due to certain reasons were now going crazy!

    It wasn¡¯t hard for one to break through the limit of F-ss.

    One only needed to put some effort into it, coupled with a little bit of talent, and they would definitely break through this limit after some time. Granted, there were some rich people who chose to buy the mutated gold ant gene in order to save their time. However, in this world, there existed some who truly couldn¡¯t break through their limit!

    The reason for that wasn¡¯t due to them having somebor-type genes. Rather, it was due to some idents, or some particr genes, or some restrictions that had caused them to be forever stuck at the same point.

    Naturally, the amount of people in such circumstances was very low. There might be only one per several billion people. However, after so many years of umtion, how many of such people existed in this world?

    These were the group of people who truly needed this mutated gold ant gene.

    For example, that particr entrustment worth 3 million!

    "3 million..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart was aze.

    Extreme profit!

    This was truly an extreme profit!

    Something with a cost of 200,000 being sold at 3 million?

    The profit rate was 1500%!

    Chen Feng was speechless. However, he was clear that this situation was only made possible from an umtion of demands after so long coupled with the sudden fame he had obtained.

    An opportunity like this might only fall on him this one time!

    "I can¡¯t miss this opportunity."

    Chen Feng was excited.

    To his surprise, when Chen Feng entered the shop, he received a notification that the management of the virtualmunity had taken appropriate actions against the Bureau of Virtual Commodity Prices. Aspensation to Chen Feng, they would activate the auction function for Chen Feng¡¯s shop in advance.

    "Auction?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes brightened.

    This was a function that would only be avable when a shop reached around level 5 or 6. However, Chen Feng had obtained this function now. The virtualmunity clearly demonstrated their generosity when they were giving outpensation.

    Naturally, the special genes sold by Chen Feng yed arge part in obtaining this function as well. For normal level 1 shops, regardless of how popr the shop was, they wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything with the auction function even if the function was given to them. Who would actually participate in an auction forbat genes worth several tens of thousands?

    "Auction..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    Begin!

    After preparing several sets of materials for mutated gold ant gene production, he got started on it.

    Since he was now rich, he was not bothered about such an amount of materials. Furthermore, he had quite an amount of luck value saved up during the past two days. As such, it was sufficient for Chen Feng to prepare two sets of mutated gold ant genes.

    Soon, he finished his first set, using 20 points of luck value in the process.

    "Let¡¯s see how much will this sell for."

    Chen Feng was excited.

    Gold ant gene ¨C supreme, begin sale!

    Now, with The Strongest Gene starting its operation and the gold ant gene ¨C supreme put up for sale by Chen Feng, the crowd queuing up in front of his shop was in an uproar.

    Auction!

    Chen Feng was nning to auction this gene off!

    Those who had been waiting for a long time started going crazy.

    The gold ant gene ¨C supreme that was originally priced at 1 million had its priced increased to 3 million. What was shocking was that this price was still increasing.

    Wang family.

    Wang Chun was somewhat surprised as he looked at the price that was rising rapidly. "Someone is still raising the price?"

    Since he broke through into E-ss, the funding he received from the family had been increased somewhat. As such, he could be considered to be somewhat rich now. However...

    Spending 3 million for a gene used to break through F-ss?

    It wasn¡¯t worth it.

    "Are those stupid yet rich people?" Wang Chun said suddenly. However, shortly, he shook his head.

    The rich did not make their money out of thin air. There was a reason for the Gene Production Association to evaluate the starting price of gold ant gene ¨C supreme as 1 million. Under normal circumstances, this was indeed the optimal price to sell this item. Any more than that? It was not worth it.

    "There¡¯s also a possibility that..."

    Wang Chun narrowed his eyes. "Those people are in simr circumstances to my own?"

    It was indeed not worth it for a normal people to spend 3 million for a breakthrough. However, if those people were those who was stuck due to idents, such as the previous Wang Chun?

    Not only 3 million, even if it was 5 million, he would still dly spend it!

    "Things are getting interesting."

    Wang Chun suddenly smiled.

    Currently, a person was gnashing his teeth in front of The Strongest Gene as he looked at the rising price. 3.2 million, 3.5 million, 3.8 million...

    No matter who raised the price, he would further raise it without any hesitation!

    In order to break through!

    He would do anything!

    "Crazy!"

    "Damn, it¡¯s already at 4.5 million!"

    Everyone was stupefied.

    No one expected the first mutated gold ant gene to reach this frightening price! What was inconceivable was the fact that the price was still increasing.

    "God, has everyone in this world gone crazy?"

    "This is only for F-ss breakthrough!"

    "The one who raised the price to 3 million earlier is apparently a young billionaire. Even he has given up. Obviously, even he does not believe that a higher price is worth it."

    "Yeah, but why are there still people who are increasing the price?"

    Nobody understood the reason.

    And now, as people continued giving up on it, the final price stopped at 5.2 million.

    The Strongest Gene!

    The first gold ant gene ¨C supreme was sold at the price of 5.2 million!

    The virtualmunity was in an uproar!

    The learning forum was in an uproar!

    Everyone was shocked. It was fine if this was some high levelbat gene. However, this was only an F-ss gene!

    "The Strongest Gene..."

    "This price has set a new history among the F-ss genes!"

    Everyone sighed endlessly.

    However, this was not the end.

    In the afternoon, Chen Feng put a second mutated gold ant gene up for auction.

    Once again, the auction began.

    "There¡¯s more?"

    "Seems like Chen Feng has quite a stockpile."

    "This time, there won¡¯t be anyonepeting so crazily, right?"

    Everyone guessed.

    Indeed, with the appearance of the second mutated gene, the people had recovered theirposure. Since Chen Feng was able to produce a second set of the same gene, there would definitely be a third or fourth set! If that was the case, those who were not in any rush could totally wait for it, only buying when the price recovered to a normal rate.

    However, even with this, the second gene was still sold at 3 million!

    Another extremely high price!

    "This..."

    "Scary."

    "I can¡¯t make sense of this world anymore."

    "Even if it¡¯s a rich person, there¡¯s a better way to break through, right? I remember that some of the rich can simply spend some money to hire some bodyguards to apany them out on a training trip and be able to easily break through. Only a small amount of money is needed for that, right?"

    Countless people had stupid expression on their face.

    They couldn¡¯t understand why this mutated gold ant gene could reach such a high price.

    Fortunately, after the second set, the passion of the crowd started dropping.

    As the night descended, the monthly sales event wasing to an end as well. Currently, Chen Feng was ced at third ce, an inconceivable rank!

    ----

    First ce, sales volume 18.6 million.

    Second ce, sales volume 18.2 million.

    Third ce, sales volume 18 million.

    ----

    18 million!

    A terrifying sales volume!

    Chen Feng only spent 7 days to reach this level. What was scary was the fact that 8 million of this amount was the amount he only spent half of day today to make. This was what rmed everyone.

    The name of The Strongest Gene was not in vain, after all.

    However, this was about as far as it could go.

    The shop owner at first ce was feeling relieved. In order topete with the person at second ce, they had promoted their products with discounts, wasting a lot of money in the process!

    Chen Feng¡¯s crazy growth had caused them to tremble with fear. Luckily, Chen Feng¡¯s final figure had stopped at 18 million and stopped increasing.

    Footnotes:

    1. The ** was the original text in raw as well.

 Chapter 73: First Place!

    Chapter 73: First ce!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At 11:30 PM that night, as the event was about to end, outside of everyone¡¯s expectations, another gold ant gene ¨C supreme appeared in The Strongest Gene shop, creating an uproar.

    "It started again!"

    "Quick!"

    "Quick, go buy it."

    Countless people rushed over topete for it.

    "I¡¯m finished!"

    The first-ranked shop owner¡¯s heart felt ice-cold.

    Although Chen Feng was still currently in third ce, he was clear that, regardless of how much this gene sold for, he no longer had any chance of maintaining first ce. Not only him, even the shop owner in second ce did not expect that the both of them wouldpete for one whole month only to end up suffering a crushing defeat at Chen Feng¡¯s hands!

    "It is indeed infuriating when youpare yourself with others."

    The shop owner smiled bitterly.

    Currently, the auction of the mutated gold ant gene had started. Although the traffic had somewhat declined due to the time, it still reached a final price of 2.8 million!

    Another high price!

    "Done!"

    Chen Feng clenched his fist resolutely.

    He was aware that these few people were those who were stuck at F ss. Furthermore, these were the rich ones. After this, the price of mutated gold ant gene would naturally return to a normal rate. In order to produce this third gene, Chen Feng had waited for his luck value to recover to 20 points before he hastily produced another gene before the event ended.

    Luckily, he seeded.

    Chen Feng¡¯s sales volume reached 20.8 million!

    Early in the morning, when the sales ranking was released, everyone was shocked.

    Iparable!

    Seven days!

    Ranked first in sales volume! A daily sales figure of more than 10 million! Among all level 1 shops, even when all the level 2 shops were included, Chen Feng was the undisputed first ce!

    "Savage!"

    "Worthy of being The Strongest Gene indeed."

    "Damn, damn, damn, damn. Chen Feng must be making a crazy amount of money? That¡¯s not necessarily true, though. The mutated gold ant gene form must be something that was created after much hardship. In order to produce this, it¡¯s hard to imagine how much he invested."

    "True."

    Everyone agreed with that sentiment.

    No one knew that, with the assistance of luck value, Chen Feng¡¯s rate of failure was precisely zero.

    This time, he had indeed made a crazy amount of profit.

    "20.8 million."

    Both of Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were shining.

    After deducting his costs of around 5 million, he had made a pure profit of 15 million. An extremely terrifying figure!

    Whoosh!

    With a wave of his hand, the 1.1 million yuan loan was repaid.

    "There¡¯s still 13.9 million left..."

    Chen Feng was moved.

    He had never gotten his hands on so much money!

    He was still excited despite being aware that this was the money he earned due to the publicity he gained recently, enduring wave after wave of hardship, and barely surviving Bureau Chief Tao¡¯s suppression. To be honest, if someone else instead of Chen Feng was faced with all of this, that person would have been defeated long ago.

    Extreme risk brought extreme profit.

    All of this was well-deserved.

    "It has been too difficult," Chen Fengmented.

    In order to make his first pot of gold, he had put everything on the line.

    In order to save 20 points of luck value to produce the third mutated gold ant gene, he had been waiting around doing nothing for the luck value to recover; he was only able toplete his task in the final 30 minutes.

    Luckily, it was now over.

    The final gene had ced him in the first ce.

    "I wonder what the rewarded form will be."

    Chen Feng was somewhat looking forward to it.

    At this time, his wristband buzzed as the screen on it flickered. Chen Feng looked at it and found that it was actually an employee of the virtualmunity inviting him to the virtual lounge.

    "What¡¯s the situation?" Chen Feng muttered before tapping the confirm button.

    Whoosh!

    Light swirled before his eyes and he arrived at the virtual lounge.

    "Hello." The pretty employee before him smiled. "I am Little Jia, the supervisor of the Event Department. Congrattions on cing first in the event. Aspensation for the damage done to you previously, we have granted you the right to choose the form. You can freely choose the rewarded form from the presently avable high-rating forms."

    Whoosh!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes brightened.

    Compensation?

    Freely choose?

    The virtualmunity was indeed generous!

    "Hum¡ª"

    A row of gene reagents appeared before his eyes.

    Chen Feng took a look and was astonished to find that in addition to 4- and 5-star F-ss forms, there were also a lot of 4-star E-ss forms!

    "This is the maximum sincerity we are able to show to you."

    A hint of apology could be seen on Little Jia¡¯s face.

    Chen Feng did not hold himself back. He started looking over the forms one by one before finally stopping at a 4-star E-ss gene reagent. The reason being that it was actually a gene fusion reagent.

    A rare 4-star fusion gene reagent!

    ----

    Illusionary Snake Gene Form

    Difficulty level: 4 stars

    Type: Fusion reagent

    Function: Obtaining the illusionary snake gene, gaining the Myriad Illusions ability.

    Restriction: E ss

    Introductions: A gene fusion reagent produced after using the illusionary snake blood essence as the core and one¡¯s blood as the supporting material to refine the gene, using all sorts of precious materials as the supporting materials.

    ----

    Illusionary snake?

    Myriad Illusions?

    Chen Feng checked it out and was immediately stirred.

    This kind of mutated beast...

    Illusionary snake, an E-ss mutated beast. Its blood and genes were used as the supporting material for a lot of powerful gene reagents. However, none of those genes used it as the core of the reagent!

    The reason was simple. Its gene was too fickle.

    The ancestors of the illusionary snake were a dreadful beast called devouring snake.

    It would devour everything. What was even more terrifying was the fact that, after devouring a mutated beast, it was able to evolve and obtain part of the beast¡¯s gene. It might even obtain a part of that beast¡¯s ability, depending on the amount of gene it obtained. It was an extremely terrifying mutated beast!

    Due to the influence andbination of all sorts of peculiar abilities, the offspring of the devouring snakes would possess all sorts of peculiar genes and peculiar abilities at birth. After many years of evolution, it became a type of beast that contained countless genes and abilities within its body, an exceptionally unstable peculiar mutated beast¡ªillusionary snake.

    Illusionary snakes were extremely terrifying.

    Naturally, it wasn¡¯t terrifying due to its strength. Rather, it was due to its abilities being unknown.

    In ordance with all sorts of dominant genes, recessive genes, and mutation probability, it was able to utilize all sorts of peculiar abilities.

    It might be bullied by an F-ss mutated beast one moment. It might also explode in anger and start ravaging a D-ss mutated beast the next moment.

    This was the illusionary snake!

    An extremely peculiar product of mutation.

    After looking for a long time, two words suddenly spurted out of Chen Feng¡¯s mouth: gluttonous snake?

    That¡¯s right! No matter how one put it, this beast was akin to a gluttonous snake that had given birth to offspring possessing all sorts of peculiar abilities due to overeating...

    This was the illusionary snake.

    As for the "Myriad Illusions" in its description, that was the exact reason for Chen Feng to choose this gene.

    Myriad Illusions: Triggering the illusionary snake gene within one¡¯s body, unleashing an attack with "illusionary snake gene" as the basis. Type of attacks indeterminable.

    This was the so-called Myriad Illusions!

    As for what kind of attacks it would unleash?

    Unknown!

    This was an extremely rare gene. Among the current known gene system, none of the gene system contained the gene of the illusionary snake within. This was a type of peculiar gene that stood alone.

    There were no secret arts that required this gene as part of thebination.

    There were several categories for gene fusion.

    Some genes were able tobine and form aplete gene system. Despite the individual genes not being particrly powerful, afterbining, they would form a myriad of fused secret arts. This was especially true after one fused with five or more genes. The genes wouldbine and form a formidable secret art.

    There were also some genes that...

    Despite not having anypatible genes tobine and form secret arts, they were extremely powerful! Every single one of those genes possessed the ability to stand tall by itself!

    The illusionary snake gene belonged to the second category.

    For a normal person, this kind of gene was too weak and unstable. In this world filled with countless dangers, an attack dealing damage below one¡¯s expectations only needed to appear once...

    And that would be enough for something bad to happen!

    And if a damage exceeding one¡¯s expectations were to appear?

    The extra damage was merely a waste of energy!

    This was one of those genes whose research value was much higher than its practical value. Since it was ced together with some 5-star F-ss genes, Chen Feng was sure that its value wasn¡¯t particrly high.

    However...

    "Myriad Illusions!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    He had been studying E-ss fusion reagents for a whole week. As far as he was concerned, no other genes were as suitable for him as this gene!

    Random?

    Countless possibilities?

    This was the type of ability he wanted!

    "You, then."

    Chen Feng pped his thigh and made up his mind on the spot.

 Chapter 74: Illusionary Snakeâ€™s Scale

    Chapter 74: Illusionary Snake¡¯s Scale

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Within his rented house in Gold City, Chen Feng was studying the information pertaining to the illusionary snake gene.

    He had chosen this form in a fit of excitement. However, there were still some unsettled issues with it. For example, the lowest requirement for one to produce this form was having 150 points of spiritual energy.

    It had crossed Chen Feng¡¯s mind to simply get some grandmaster producers to produce this gene for him. He was, after all, somewhat rich now. However, he was not satisfied with that.

    What he wanted was not some ordinary illusionary snake gene!

    What he wanted was the strongest! A mutation!

    Furthermore...

    If possible, he even wanted to create his own form!

    This was a gene fusion reagent that would affect his power for this whole life of his. As such, he had to maximize the power it possessed. Only with this could he maximize the amount of power he would gain!

    Hiring someone else to produce it?

    Not reliable enough!

    "I still need to do it myself."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    Setting the requirement that he must be the one who produced his own fusion gene, he reckoned that nobody else was as awe-inspiring, right? However, this requirement of 150 spiritual energy was an extremely great barrier.

    "It¡¯s about time I break through."

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was firm.

    Breaking through into E ss!

    Increase the spiritual energy!

    Create his very own E-ss fusion gene reagent!

    The next day, as he had recovered his luck value, Chen Feng started producing mutated gold ant genes.

    "Gulp!"

    He consumed the reagent.

    Instantly, Chen Feng could feel a formidable power spreading within his body. That formidable power condensed unceasingly, ultimately bing a powerful torrent!

    What was the limit mode?

    The way Chen Feng saw it, it was like a firm wall.

    And now¡ª

    "Bang!"

    That powerful torrent broke through the wall with an unstoppable power.

    "Ka!"

    "Ka!"

    Chen Feng could seemingly feel his spiritual wall cracking this instant. The world before his eyes instantly seemed clearer, and his spiritual world became brighter.

    This was an odd feeling.

    Whoosh!

    Gene scan!

    Chen Feng¡¯s spirit attribute had reached 101 points!

    Limit breakthrough!

    Entering E ss!

    Unfortunately, despite entering E ss, there was only a one point increase in his attribute. It was still far from 150 points. However, now that he was in E-ss, he had another chance to consume an E-ss attribute-increasing reagent!

    After researching, Chen Feng found that the presently avable best E-ss gene increasing reagent would be able to increase his spiritual energy by 35 points.

    Price: 500,000!

    As Chen Feng was now rich and imposing, he bought it instantly.

    "Gulp."

    He gulped it down.

    Chen Feng¡¯s attribute reached 136 points. However, that was as far as it went.

    Gene strengthening?

    Now that Chen Feng was in E-ss, killing wind foxes was no longer useful. Even the strongest wind fox leader would only possess 100 attribute points. As for killing E-ss mutated beasts?

    Without first fusing with a gene, regardless of what beast Chen Feng killed, it wouldn¡¯t help.

    Hence¡ª

    There was only one way for Chen Feng to increase his spiritual energy.

    Gene production!

    "Just nice."

    Chen Feng pondered. "It¡¯s about time for me to grind those forms."

    Presently, he only had lumberbear gene mastered. His gene production level was still stuck at 1 star.

    Despite this star rating being merely a point of reference, it was what the requirements for the rookiepetition were based on. Since Chen Feng had made himself some money, it was about time for him to start mastering those forms.

    When grinding the forms, due to the tempering effect they brought, they would be able to increase his spiritual energy as well. It was simply an act of killing two birds with one stone.

    As such, during the next month, Chen Feng spent his time in bitter training.

    Rush!

    Rush!

    Rush!

    As for his luck value?

    Chen Feng saved them all.

    Using 20 points of luck value, he would be able to produce a mutated gold ant gene worth 3 million. This meant a single point of luck value was now worth 150,000!

    For Chen Feng, this was the most valuable thing he had!

    What was the point of having over ten million in cash?

    Pointless!

    Only when all that money was converted into power would it be practical!

    The 10 million he had earned in seven days time was gradually spent in this training month. However, Chen Feng¡¯s familiarity with the forms was rapidly increasing as well. He hadpletely mastered the gold ant form and the thundersnake form. When producing ordinary genes, he would be sessful even without using his luck value.

    His production level had also increased to 10-star from 1-star.

    Naturally, as far as Chen Feng was concerned, what was most important was the spirit attribute.

    After a month of bitter training, a huge amount of investment, and high-intensity tempering, Chen Feng¡¯s spirit attribute increased by 16 points, reaching 152 points from 136 points.

    It was worth it!

    Then...

    What was next was to produce the illusionary snake gene.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    He had done his research during this month. The production of the illusionary snake gene was extremely troublesome. It was not only due to it being a 4-star E-ss fusion gene. The main issue was the extreme instability of the illusionary snake gene.

    For ordinary forms, it was sufficient for one to extract the required main gene from the blood essence.

    As for illusionary snake gene?

    What this form required was not a part of the illusionary snake¡¯s gene. Instead, what it required was all the genes contained within the blood essence!

    That was because knowing how many genes it contained was an impossible feat!

    Which of the genes were useful?

    Which of the genes were useless?

    Hence¡ª

    The production of the illusionary snake gene reagent did not even require the gene search step. That was because all the genes it contained need to be assimted into the gene reagent.

    This was an extremely peculiar gene reagent.

    What it needed was the entirety of the illusionary snake!

    Simr with other mutated beasts, a few minutes after its death, the reactivity of an illusionary snake¡¯s gene would start decreasing. The more time that passed, the higher the amount of genes that would disappear.

    Despite the fact that the amount of genes remaining had no effect on the sess rate,paratively, was a gene produced from 100,000 genes really the same as a gene produced from 10,000 genes?

    Naturally not.

    Hence, the illusionary snake gene must be produced on the spot!

    In actuality, starting from E ss, a lot of powerful and rare genes could only be produced before the reactivity of the gene disappeared in order to get the greatest result out of the production.

    Chen Feng had even prepared the incubator liquid in advance.

    He had everything prepared except the main ingredient. What hecked now was a fresh illusionary snake. To be exact, what hecked was the most powerful illusionary snake leader.

    Chen Feng was confident that the amount of genes contained within an illusionary snake leader surpassed ordinary illusionary snakes by far.

    The strongest illusionary snake!

    The strongest production!

    Only with this would he be able to produce his very own strongest fusion gene!

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was sharp.

    The Deste Rocky Grounds was the birthce of illusionary snakes. That ce was filled with mountains and rocks and was extremely dangerous. Since he was now a producer, there was no need for him to personally go hunt the snakes.

    "I can just hire a small team to help me with the hunt."

    Chen Feng made his decision speedily.

    Xu Fei?

    Chen Feng contacted him straight away.

    Regretfully, Xu Fei¡¯s group was at a crucial point of breaking through the E-ss bottleneck. Hence, they couldn¡¯t spare any time for this. As such, Chen Feng could only look for others himself.

    "Who should I find?"

    As Chen Feng was pondering, a notification appeared on his screen.

    "Rmendation?"

    Chen Feng was astonished.

    This so-called rmendation was, in actuality, the act of automatically sending relevant information or news in ordance to your search history. It could be considered one of the intelligent functions the wristband possessed. The information on gambling when he searched for lotteries and the information on porn when he searched for loans was the result of this function.

    This function was quite deceptive in nature.

    "Another one of those scam advertisements?"

    Chen Feng opened the notification.

    "Hello. Based on your present personal details and keyword history ¨C gene production, illusionary snake, form, exploration, we are rmending you some relevant information: One of your contacts, Wang Chun, has recently issued a mission relevant to illusionary snake. (tap here to open)"

    "Wang Chun?"

    Chen Feng was somewhat astonished.

    Wang Chun was a friend he made while researching about illusionary snakes at the learning forum. He was also the first person to purchase his mutated gold ant gene. Hence, they were seemingly interlinked by fate. He had deep understanding of illusionary snakes. However, he did not expect that Wang Chun would issue a mission rted to illusionary snakes.

    "He is also nning to hunt illusionary snakes?"

    Chen Feng was astonished. However, he recovered in a short time. True, if Wang Chun was not hunting illusionary snakes, how would he be so familiar with it?

    If that was the case, then the mission...

    Chen Feng curiously opened Wang Chun¡¯s mission.

    ----

    Gene Production Mission ¨C Illusionary Snake¡¯s Scale.

    Content: With illusionary snake¡¯s scale as the material, engage in gene production on the spot in ordance with the provided new form until the production is sessful.

    Requirements: Producing on the spot, possessing a sess rate of 5% and above for new 2-star E-ss forms.

    Reward: One set of the form that would also be used during the mission, 1 set of 4-star E-ss form.

    Remark: I will be bringing my own team. Hence, there¡¯s no need for you to engage in any battles. When the battle has ended, we will give you the illusionary snake¡¯s scale. The producer only needs to be in charge of on-the-spot production.

    Remark 2: The new form is a 2-star E-ss form. If the producer were to ept the form but fails to produce it sessfully, the producer will be penalized an amount of 1 million yuan.

    Remark 3: The final goal might be illusionary snake leader (if we are to meet with one).

 Chapter 75: Aurora

    Chapter 75: Aurora

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Illusionary snake¡¯s scale!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes lit up.

    For once, this rmendation feature was reliable.

    Without a doubt, this was a mission issued at the Gene Production Association. Simr with how Xu Fei issued his mission previously, the mission was looking for a gene producer. Wang Chun¡¯s target was clear, the illusionary snake¡¯s scale. If they found an illusionary snake leader, they would kill that illusionary snake leader.

    Chen Feng was tempted.

    He wasn¡¯t too bothered with the mission reward. However...

    If Wang Chun¡¯s target was only the scale, wouldn¡¯t the remaining parts of the snake be his? An illusionary snake had so many scales. It wouldn¡¯t have much effect if it were to lose some of its scales.

    Furthermore, Wang Chun would bring his own team for this. Chen Feng only needed to follow along.

    Where else could he find something good like this?

    He had to ept this mission!

    Naturally, the premise was that they needed to be able to reach an agreement.

    Chen Feng directly contacted Wang Chun and made known his purpose. Wang Chun immediately assigned the mission to Chen Feng. A genius capable of creating three mutated forms? This mission assignment was worth it.

    "I will send the form to you. We can depart once you familiarize yourself with it," Wang Chun said.

    Chen Feng smiled. "Alright."

    With the poprity he had gained from the several mutated forms he created, his reputation had increased greatly and he no longer needed to go through all sorts of interviews and reviews before getting a mission, like what had happened previously.

    "Ding¡ª"

    His wristband buzzed.

    The screen on it flickered.

    Chen Feng was astonished to find that Wang Chun had actually sent over two forms.

    The first was the production of illusionary snake¡¯s scale, 2-star, E-ss. This was the required form for the mission. It wasn¡¯t odd for Wang Chun to send it over for Chen Feng to get familiarized with.

    But the second form...

    ----

    Aurora Gene Form

    Type: Special

    ss: E

    Function: Igniting the genes within one¡¯s body, unleashing the potential of one¡¯s genes, pushing spiritual affinity to its limit. Activation duration of 10 seconds.

    Consumption: In ordance to the genes.

    ----

    Virus!

    This was actually a form for a gene virus!

    Chen Feng¡¯s state of mind stirred.

    Chen Feng had encountered a simr gene before. It was the blood moon used by Chang Hu! He did not expect that Wang Chun would actually send this over to him!

    Gene viruses were prohibited products!

    Their sale was prohibited!

    However, the research value of this item was exceedingly high. How to exploit gene viruses rationally and whether or not gene viruses brought any positive benefits had always been a topic widely researched by academics.

    "You can contact me after you finish studying the illusionary snake¡¯s scale form. I have also sent the reward for this mission to you as well. Although you won¡¯t be able to sell this thing, its research value is still extremely high. It will bring great benefit for one¡¯s gene production. I¡¯m not a gene producer and am not particrly familiar with this profession. Hence, you can study it yourself," Wang Chun briefly exined.

    Gene virus...

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart was zing. He wasn¡¯t surprised that Wang Chun would give him the reward in advance. After all, he had a different status nowadays. Hence, he would definitely not destroy his own reputation for a single form. However, for this special 4-star E-ss form to actually be a gene virus was truly surprising.

    Especially its function, pushing the limit of the spiritual affinity!

    What did reaching the limit of spiritual affinity signify?

    It signified that there was no need for one to put forth any effort to control their spiritual ability. Only intending for something to happen would be sufficient. One¡¯s spiritual energy would be akin to one¡¯s arms, listening to one¡¯smands obediently!

    For example¡ª

    Chen Feng¡¯s Wind de!

    Circling around?

    Curving?

    Chen Feng had trained for a long time to achieve that.

    However, if his spiritual affinity reached the limit, his Wind des would move in ordance to his wishes. Not only circling around or curving, even if he wanted the Wind des to drift around, it wouldn¡¯t present any problems! Increasing one¡¯s affinity was not something as simple as increasing one¡¯s attributes. Instead, it was enabling one to fully disy the power of one¡¯s spiritual energy!

    This was how formidable a gene virus was!

    Naturally, as a result...

    You might die in the process.

    Could he make use of this?

    Chen Feng contemted it.

    With Luck Aura, he could effectively contain the gene damage during his usage of the gene virus. If what was damaged were those trash genes within a human¡¯s body, it would be helpful to his body instead. For others, this was a prohibited product. However, for him, this might be a trump card!

    Completely changing the situation on the battlefield within 10 seconds!

    "Trash gene..."

    Chen Feng contemted deeply.

    He must first ascertain the amount of genes that needed to be ignited. As soon as the amount of the ignited genes surpassed the amount of trash genes within his body, something bad might happen.

    "Just produce it first."

    Chen Feng did not need long to decide.

    This was a rare form with high difficulty, simr to the illusionary snake form. Fortunately, the capabilities of the current Chen Feng had been increased by quite an amount as well. After spending two days, he managed to familiarize himself with this form.

    Begin production!

    The production method of a gene virus was somewhat simr to a normal gene. The only difference was that the required materials were much higher in amount with a higher production difficulty as well. After fusing several core blood essences possessing different abilities, with help of his luck value, Chen Feng finally produced an aurora gene reagent that was radiating with a bizarre splendor.

    Luck value consumption, 3 points.

    Sess!

    This was the first 4-star E-ss gene Chen Feng produced. However, it did not trouble him in the least. As long as he had sufficient spiritual energy and luck value, Chen Feng was confident that he would be able to produce any gene he wished!

    "Hum¡ª"

    A tinge of bizarre radiance blossomed from the bottle of reagent in his hands.

    "Give it a try?"

    Chen Feng hesitated.

    Normally, he would test out the reagents he produced. However, this aurora...

    Was extremely dangerous!

    A human body contained arge amount of trash genes. The reason Chen Feng chose this gene virus was because, with the help of his Luck Aura, he would be able to use these trash genes as its fuel!

    However¡ª

    What if the consumption exceeded the limit?

    Once his gic ability and his gene attributes started dropping, things would get extremely dangerous. Chang Hu was the perfect example of this. Chen Feng had to be prudent when handling gene viruses!

    "Let¡¯s study it first."

    Chen Feng pondered and started researching online.

    Online, he found the evaluation done by the Gene Production Association. There was also news reported by the media outlets. Furthermore, there were a lot of reports where someone died after using aurora gene reagent.

    Chen Feng drew a rough hypothesis in ordance to what happened after those people consumed the gene virus.

    His verdict was¡ª

    It was feasible.

    The amount of genes required for ignition by the aurora virus was very near the number of trash genes avable within a human body. Even if there was some disparity, the difference wouldn¡¯t exceed 1%!

    "I can give it a try."

    Chen Feng inhaled.

    He was currently too weak. Hence, he needed some methods to protect himself!

    As he thought of this, he left his rented house and went to the training center at the urban district. After renting a training room specifically used to testbat power, he gulped the gene reagent down.

    "Gulp!"

    Gene consumed.

    "Bang!"

    A torrent of terrifying energy rushed into his body and fused with the energy within his body. At this instant, Chen Feng felt the whole world before his eyes change.

    His spiritual energy instantly became lively.

    The world before his eyes became unprecedentedly clear.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s eyes started shining gold.

    Dazzlingly bright.

    Chen Feng felt like his whole body was burning.

    Within his body, genes were being ignited.

    At this moment, all the trash genes within were ignited!

    Different from how the blood moon would unleash its might gradually as the ignition happened, the aurora gene would instantly ignite all the genes and proceed to provide 10 seconds of maximum affinity!

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    Chen Feng seemed to be able to hear sounds of explosions resounding within his body.

    However, right this moment, he felt a tinge of sweetness in his throat as the blood within him boiled and an intense pain appeared instantly in his body.

    This feeling...

    Chen Feng looked at his digitized panel immediately.

    Strength!

    Permanent drop of one point!

    "It dropped!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s state of mind stirred.

    Even with Luck Aura and the ignition of all the trash genes, it was still not sufficient!

    His strength attribute had been the first attribute to decrease!

    Fortunately, Chen Feng¡¯s primary assessment was not wrong. After the drop of one point in strength, the requirements of the aurora gene were fulfilled and the formidable power belonging to the aurora gene descended!

    "Thump!"

    A soft sound resounded from within his body.

    Akin to rebirth after breaking out of a cocoon, something seemed to have quietly appeared just like that.

    His spiritual energy came to life.

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Hum¡ª"

    At this instant, everything in the training room trembled.

    Cups, stools, all sorts of instruments, every single thing in the training room was trembling. Chen Feng could faintly see his lively spiritual energy enveloping these things.

    "Condense!"

    Chen Feng pointed midair.

    Whoosh!

    Everything stilled instantly.

    "Wind de!"

    Chen Feng activated his Wind de.

    Before his eyes, an azure colored light de appeared.

    "There doesn¡¯t seem to be anything different with it?"

    Chen Feng contemted.

    Stop.

    Instinctively, Chen Feng pointed.

    "Whoosh!"

    The Wind de stilled in midair.

    That¡¯s right. The crescent shaped Wind de stopped just like that, hovering in midair.

    "This..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes widened.

    This was the effect of reaching the limit of affinity?

    Then...

    "Whoosh!"

    Another Wind de appeared.

    When both Wind des collided, an astonishing scene unfolded. Both Wind des did not shatter. Instead, under the terrifying effect of the affinity, they merged into a bizarre cross-shaped object!

    "This works?"

    Chen Feng was stupefied.

    "Whoosh!"

    Another Wind de appeared.

    Three curved Wind des intertwined and turned into a fan-shaped wind wheel!

    "Turn!"

    Chen Feng instinctivelymanded inwardly.

    "Hu¡ª"

    The merged Wind des started rotating.

    A frightening gale started shaking the room. This effect was not only due to the Wind de¡¯s power alone, it was also the terrifying power exhibited by the Wind des after merging!

    "Go!"

    Chen Feng unleashed them.

    "Whoosh!"

    The wind wheel struck forth with a whistling sound.

    "Bang!"

    The instant it touched the ground, a terrifying power erupted.

    The superposition resulting from the fusion of three Wind des unleashed a power far exceeding even ten Wind des released by Chen Feng in the past.

    Extremely terrifying!

    "Then..."

    "What if the amount of Wind de is increased?" Chen Feng muttered.

    "Whoosh!"

    "Whoosh!"

    A session of Wind des was released.

    Ten Wind des appeared instantly. Under Chen Feng¡¯s control, they collided, and Chen Feng¡¯s lively spiritual energy started working automatically, turning the Wind des into a huge Wind de.

    A terrifying Wind de with a length of nearly 3 meters.

    Its azure glow was clear as mirror, hovering in midair just like that.

    "A giant Wind de?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes flickered as he aimed at the evaluation tool in the distance.

    "Whoosh!"

    The Wind de shot forth, leaving behind a piercing sound.

    "Bang!"

    The Wind de exploded.

    "Di¡ª"

    "Attack power: 800 units."

    "Ability level: High-level E-ss"

    This power...

    Chen Feng inhaled a mouthful of cold breath.

    The him that had just entered E-ss, who had not even fused with an E-ss gene, had actually unleashed an attack as powerful as a high-level E-ss attack. The gene virus was indeed terrifying!

    This was what true strength was like!

    "Hua¡ª"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes nked and darkness descended.

    Hisplexion paled.

    That exceptionally dazzling world disappeared at that instant.

    "It ended?"

    Chen Feng was still longing for that sensation.

    Toofortable!

    Pity it¡¯s only 10 seconds.

    Chen Feng checked his body and once again scanned himself with the gene scanner.

    All the trash genes in his body had disappeared. Apart from the 1 point of strength attribute he lost permanently, Chen Feng was even healthier than the average person.

    With all the harmful genes in his body gone, how could he not be healthy?

    However...

    A human body was a huge factory in itself!

    Every single day, new cells would be created. Contained within those cells were arge amount of genes, including both helpful and useless genes!

    This was especially true during this age where gic mutation was the norm. Due to how frequently gic abilities were used, in order to achieve bnce within the human body, it was inevitable for trash genes to emerge.

    This was Chen Feng¡¯s trump card.

    Based on his initial assessment, his body would once again be filled with trash genes in three days time. This meant that he would be able to use the aurora gene once every three days!

    "It¡¯s still somewhat hurtful."

    Chen Feng frowned.

    It was not a problem to exhaust those trash genes. However, the drop of his strength attribute...

    "There¡¯s only this many trash genes?"

    Chen Feng felt somewhat regretful.

    He was even wishing that if he were to develop cancer, mhmm... getting himself some cancer cells or something else in his body, would the amount of trash genes in his body increase?

    Would he be able to use aurora gene without limit that way?

    The more he thought of it, the more tempted he became.

    However, he ultimately gave up this line of thought.

    Cancerous genes... it was a domain he was unfamiliar with. Nowadays, gic mutation was something very normal. If his cancer cells were to mutate into something bizarre, he would have toyed himself to death.

    Shortly after, Chen Feng finished arranging the relevant information regarding his test on the aurora gene.

    The aurora gene enabled him to enter a special mode. Chen Feng named this mode Virus Mode!

    When in Virus Mode, he possessed a godly control power. However, the price he paid for it was extremely huge as well¡ª10 points of luck value, the destruction of all trash genes in his body, and a random gene attribute of his would lose one point permanently!

    Cooldown period: three days

    "This set of data..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was sparkling.

    Losing one point of strength attribute was totally worth it!

    Since he was nning to use aurora gene as his trump card, evaluating it was something that had to be done.

    Just imagine the scenario where he were to consume the aurora gene at a crucial moment. However, what happened next was that he couldn¡¯t move, like what had happened when he was performing gene strengthening previously, what would the consequences for that be?

    Even the thought of that was terrifying.

    If it wasn¡¯t for Wang Yao rescuing him previously, he would have been dead.

    Now that he could afford it, he would definitely evaluate the gene first. Fortunately, the aurora gene did not disappoint him. There was not much difference from his initial predictions.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "I just hope that the day where I would need to use this neveres."

    Since he was done with evaluation of the aurora gene, he started studying the information regarding the illusionary snake¡¯s scale. After theplicated aurora gene, this 2-star E-ss form did not bring him much trouble. He was able to familiarize himself with it in a short while. Afterward, he contacted Wang Chun and confirmed that they would depart three dayster before he started making his preparations.

    One set of aurora reagent.

    Three sets of thundersnake reagents.

    ...

    Only after he was done with his preparations did he go rest.

    Later that night, the Wang family was holding a banquet. As a result, it was bustling with noise and excitement over there.

    Suddenly, a little girl walked into the room. The bustling banquet paused momentarily. However, soon, everyone pretended they hadn¡¯t seen anything and continued chatting.

    However, everywhere she passed, countless people avoided her, none daring to approach her.

    "Sister."

    Wang Yue was happy.

    The one who came was precisely Wang Yao.

    Wang Yao nodded slightly. "Mhm."

    "Yao Er, you are here." A middle-aged man walked over with a youth. "Come, let father introduce to you. This is..."

    Wang Yao nced over coldly. "Scram!" A terrifying killing intent descended.

    Wang Tianhao could not continue his sentence, while the youth he brought over was trembling with fear and almost peed himself. Cutting a sorry figure, he fled.

    "Wang Yao!"

    Wang Tianhao was somewhat angry.

    He clenched his fists and veins appeared on his forehead.

    He was aware that this daughter of his looked down on him. However, they were in a public ce.

    Wang Yao merely looked at him coldly. Her gaze was akin to knife, terrifyingly cold. Wang Tianhao stared at her for a few seconds before sighing. "Fine, fine, fine. I will go."

    Wang Yue smiled bitterly. "Sister, can¡¯t you give father some face?"

    Wang Yao shook her head, not saying anything.

    After thinking, she suddenly said, "Maintain some distance from those old farts of the Wang family."

    "Ah?" Wang Yue was somewhat stupefied.

    Those elders of the Wang family?

    But they represented the whole Wang family and controlled all the resources of the family. If he were to maintain a distance from them, who would allocate him resources?!

    In front of Wang Yao, he pretended to be stupid in order to gain her concern. However, this did not mean that he was really stupid. The resources of the Wang family were something he had to have!

    "You¡¯re on your own now."

    Wang Yao looked at Wang Yue deeply before leaving.

    "Sister?"

    Wang Yue¡¯s heart palpitated.

    Wang Yao came all the way here just to say this? Telling him to maintain a distance from Wang family?

    Why?

    Wang Yue¡¯s thoughts were in turmoil.

    The others might not realize this. However, he was clear that the reason he was able to improve quickly was due to his sister. If his sister stopped helping him in the future...

    "Don¡¯t think too much." Wang Tianhao patted his son¡¯s shoulder. "She is, after all, only a single person. Behind you, on the other hand, is the entirety of the Wang family!"

    "Right."

    As he heard that, Wang Yue¡¯s mood lightened.

    However, why was his sister so prejudiced against the Wang family? Even against their father... to be honest, he truly couldn¡¯t understand the reason. Since something happened to his sister¡¯s body, she seemed to have changed! Her strength became inconceivably terrifying and, at the same time, she also became increasingly cold as a person.

    Sister... what happened to you?

    Wang Yue was perplexed.

    Currently, after Wang Yao left, the excitement of the banquet increased. At a certain unremarkable corner of the room, Wang Chun was silently seated, engrossed with aic in his hands.

    "You are Wang Chun right? I..." A beautifuldy walked over. "I am..."

    "Shh!" Wang Chun raised his finger to his lips. "Don¡¯t disturb me when I¡¯m reading."

    "You..."

    Speechless, thedy turned around and left. One could faintly hear her grumbling something like "damnable nerd."

    At this, Wang Chun merely smiled.

    He was very clear on the reason thesedies came. However, what did that have to do with him? He was merely here to make up the numbers due to his status.

    "Wang family..."

    A mocking smile appeared on Wang Chun¡¯s face.

    He stretched and was soon engrossed with hisic once again, oblivious to the world around him.

    "Soon I will be going to Deste Rocky Grounds with Chen Feng..."

    "I shouldn¡¯t ck off."

 Chapter 77: Illusionary Snake

    Chapter 77: Illusionary Snake

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Three dayster, Chen Feng arrived at the Deste Rocky Grounds as agreed upon. This was the southern region, far away from Gold City. However, as the transportation system of the current era was extremely well developed, it did not take Chen Feng long to arrive.

    As he reached the vicinity of the Gic Union campsite, he found that Wang Chun and his group had been waiting for quite a while.

    "Come, let me introduce you."

    Wang Chun introduced the group to Chen Feng.

    This was a small squad called An Te, named after its leader. There were five members in total. All of them were gic warriors that were rtively strong among E-ss warriors. Being quite powerful, this squad was hired all year round. They had worked with Wang Chun several times in the past and had an amiable rtionship with him. As such, Wang Chun selected them to go on the illusionary snake hunting mission.

    Chen Feng nodded. "How are you?" As his gazended on the girl beside Wang Chun, he asked, "This is..."

    This girl was obviously not someone from the squad. She appeared to be around 15 or 16 years old, was astonishingly beautiful, and was currently wearing a simple yet pretty set of clothes. This was quite obviously of a different style than those warriors in the gic squad.

    "Hello." The girl beamed. "My name is Shen Yi."

    Shen Yi?

    A question mark appeared in Chen Feng¡¯s mind.

    This name... sounded somewhat weird.

    "My girlfriend." Wang Chun smiled as he said, "She is a very quiet person. Only here to follow along for fun, she won¡¯t be causing any trouble."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    So this little couple was here for a walk?

    However, as he thought about it, he found it agreeable. The power of this squad called An Te was quite good and was sufficient to conquer a ce like the Deste Rocky Grounds, which was not particrly dangerous. There wouldn¡¯t be any problems with Wang Chun bringing his girlfriend along.

    "It doesn¡¯t matter."

    An Te smiled shortly before regaining a solemn expression. "However, this time, it¡¯s somewhat different from the past. illusionary snake is a somewhat special mutated beast that needs to be killed as quickly as possible. Since we even have Miss Shen Yi and this producer here, I hope that, during the duration of our current exploration, you all will obey our arrangements."

    "That is only natural."

    Chen Feng and the rest agreed.

    Soon, the group left the camp, heading toward the Deste Rocky Grounds.

    That was the world belonging to the illusionary snakes!

    That was also a world where everything could happen!

    They traveled straight.

    The distance between the camp and the Deste Rocky Grounds was roughly 10 km. Around them, vegetation became sparse before finally disappearing.

    Before them was a world with rugged and uneven rocky ground.

    "Hum¡ª"

    A bizarre noise resounded.

    The ears of Qin Jie, one of the squad members, trembled lightly as he listened to their surroundings.

    In actuality, almost everyplete squad would have someone simr to Monkey, possessing extraordinary detection abilities.

    "500 meters ahead, a group of mutated violet buffalo is passing by," Qin Jie narrated.

    "Let them pass first then," An Te decisively decided.

    They circle around an unremarkable rock and waited behind it.

    After one minute, a group of huge mutated violet buffalos passed loudly, knocking against everything in their path and kicking off a countless amount of dust in their wake. asionally other mutated beasts would appear before them. At that, the buffalos would start chasing after those beasts, not stopping until the beasts died.

    This was the mutated violet buffalo.

    Barbaric!

    Vicious!

    And... brainless!

    Wang Chun smiled as he asked, "How do you find this squad?"

    "Professionals!" Chen Feng praised.

    This squad had an extremely calm disposition when handling things, neither looking for any trouble nor wasting any time. From the camp to the Deste Rocky Grounds, they had not been hindered. The several dangers they met were easily avoided as well. Evidently, they had investigated this area in advance. This was much more reliablepared to Xu Fei¡¯s squad.

    Naturally, their price was much higher as well.

    "We will be arriving soon. It¡¯s right in front of us," An Te said suddenly.

    Chen Feng raised his head.

    They were reaching the end of the path.

    In front of them was the end of the path between two mountains they had been travelling on. It was a rugged, uneven, and rocky area that was engulfed with sand storms, with a visibility radius not more than 10 meters.

    This... was the Deste Rocky Grounds. The world of illusionary snakes!

    "Everyone be extra careful here," Wang Chun said. "Let¡¯s kill some normal illusionary snakes to let Chen Feng familiarize himself with the illusionary snake¡¯s scale form. After that, we can proceed to look for an illusionary snake leader to kill."

    An Te nodded. "Understood." As long as Wang Chun¡¯s gene reagent was sessfully produced, their mission would be aplished. As long as they were careful, this mission wouldn¡¯t be too difficult.

    "Hu¡ª"

    "Hu¡ª"

    The sandstorm whistled.

    Two members of the An Te squad walked in front as they stepped into the Deste Rocky Grounds.

    However, right this moment, Shen Yi abruptly said, "Wait."

    Everyone immediately stopped.

    An Te frowned. "What¡¯s the matter?"

    Since this missus was only here for fun, she should just obediently keep silent. Why was she stirring trouble?

    "Under your foot."

    Shen Yi pointed at Qin Jie¡¯s foot.

    "Mhm?"

    Qin Jie¡¯s heart jolted. His ear trembled and released a silent ripple that was subsequently reflected back to him. At that, his expression became somewhat solemn as he softly pushed aside the sand below his foot.

    Buried within was another human.

    "A corpse?"

    Everyone was shocked.

    The gazes of An Te and his squad members were filled with astonishment as they looked at Shen Yi. Even Qin Jie did not find this corpse, but this girl had actually found it. Perhaps she was not some simple pretty girl after all.

    "He has only been dead for several days."

    Qin Jie inspected the spot and found a high-definition virtual recording device beside the corpse. He immediately frowned and said, "Why would such a thing appear here?"

    Virtual recording device! It was something used for recording virtual videos!

    The videos recorded by this device could be yed using virtual broadcasting equipment or in the virtualmunity. The yed video would be in a three-dimensional format, giving one an impression that one had appeared in the world within the recording.

    However, why would such an item be here?

    "Let me take a look."

    Wang Chun switched it on.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Light swirled around and a semi-illusionary scene appeared.

    A sturdy guy appeared before them. He faced the recorder and started talking as he introduced this area: "Fellow members, this is the legendary deste grounds. Haha. It was said that the illusionary snakes here are extremely terrifying. Even E-ss warriors wouldn¡¯t dare to provoke them. Let us take a good look today."

    As he talked, he aimed the recorder at the sandstorm in the distance and stepped into it.

    "Everyone can clearly see that there are a lot of sandstorms here, affecting one¡¯s visibility. Basically, everything beyond five meters can¡¯t be seen anymore. Something like an illusionary snake might very well be hidden somewhere near..."

    Suddenly, a dark green liquid dashed over.

    "What?"

    The recorder started swaying.

    The sturdy man seemed to have seen something. As he turned around to take a look, before he managed to say anything, he fell on the ground and his body turned stiff after a few seconds.

    Dead.

    Bang!

    The recorder was flung onto the ground.

    Chen Feng and the group looked at each other.

    A virtual streamer?

    Nowadays, as the virtualmunity gained poprity, virtual streaming became a legitimate profession as well. This was especially true for some unexinable fields that had managed to grow vigorously through virtual streaming. There were some who relied on the virtual courses and some who relied on exploring the wilderness, making a name for themselves through blood and sweat in their respective fields with their own ability.

    These were all people who demanded respect, yet also the more dangerous people of the lot.

    Before them... was one such person, who had died just like that.

    "Be extra careful," An Te said in a low voice. "He was killed right at the entrance of the Deste Rocky Grounds, roughly two meters in front of you."

    "Understood."

    The two people in front were perspiring all over. If it wasn¡¯t for Shen Yi¡¯s reminder, they might already be dead.

    "Let me."

    Qin Jie took the initiative and walked to the front.

    "Hum¡ª"

    His ears swayed as he unleashed his gic ability.

    One step.

    Two steps.

    Three steps.

    Pa!

    Qin Jie stepped into the Deste Rocky Grounds.

    "Whoosh!"

    A light noise resounded.

    A bizarre silvery light dashed past Qin Jie as he shed down with the dagger that he had prepared in advance. With an agility reaching 800 points, how would he be ambushed when he had noticed this fellow¡¯s existence in advance?

    "Pu!"

    The dagger stabbed into the rocky ground.

    A tiny silver-colored snake was impaled into the ground. Its long tongue was outstretched while its mouth was still opened wide. At both sides of its mouth were sharp teeth that were gleaming a cold, green-colored light under the dazzling sun.

    Incredibly terrifying!

    Chapter 78: Peculiar Combat Method

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Wang family, Gold City.

    A terrifying radiance was swirling around.

    Everyone¡¯s emotions were surging as they felt an ancient yet vast aura. The aura started ascending and only stopped when it reached the energy barrier of the Wang family.

    "This is..."

    A pleasantly surprised expression appeared on the faces of several elders.

    "Finally..."

    Some people started crying tears of joy.

    Had that gene finally been fused?!

    They had waited for far too long!

    "Bang!"

    In the hall, all the ss abruptly shattered.

    Blue light swirled about before finally getting absorbed into the body of a certain person. Slowly, he opened his eyes. At that instant, a resplendent blue glow radiated from his pupils.

    "Good, good, good!"

    Wang Tianhao was in ecstasy as he firmly patted his son¡¯s shoulder.

    Finally seeded!

    This person¡ª

    Was precisely Wang Yue!

    He had broken through E-ss quite a while ago. Today, he had finally sessfully fused with that gene!

    "From today onward, you are the only genius of the Wang family."

    Wang Tianhao was proud. "Since you have sessfully fused with this gene, you will have the chance to be the strongest person in the Wang family. Even those people would have to rely on you!"

    "That might not be certain."

    Wang Yue sneered. "Their previous choice was Wang Chun. It was only that Wang Chun had subsequently picked a different gene and gave up on this gene himself, hehe..."

    "This cousin, I¡¯m really quite worried about his existence."

    "Especially now that he has actually gotten himself mixed up with Chen Feng. Hehe. The heavens are really treating me quite well to be grouping the two people I hate most together."

    "Since it¡¯s this way, I might as well deal with them together."

    Wang Yue¡¯s expression was cold while his pupils flickered with a blue glow.

    Now that he had fused with this gene, even without his sister¡¯s assistance, he would still be a true expert! Before that, he definitely had to root out those two threats!

    ***

    Currently, at the entrance of the Deste Rocky Grounds, Chen Feng and the group almost lost one of their members in their first exchange with an illusionary snake.

    "Let me emphasize to you all one more time." Wang Chun solemnly said, "An E-ss warrior has had two opportunities to fuse with genes. As for an E-ss mutated beast, it will also go through two mutations. You all are aware of the first mutation of the illusionary snake. It is that miraculous gic ability and peculiar probability they possess. However, don¡¯t forget their second mutation!"

    "Body!"

    "An illusionary snake is a mutated beast with the dual attributes of spirit and agility. Due to that special bloodline of theirs, every single illusionary snake might take a different direction when strengthening their body. Some illusionary snake will strengthen their scales, some will strengthen their senses, and some will strengthen their teeth!"

    At this, Wang Chun nced at that teeth of the earlier illusionary snake that was flickering with green light. "Hence, you must all be careful, despite your ability far exceeding that of the illusionary snake!"

    "Understood."

    An Te¡¯s expression was solemn.

    Since they dared toe, they had naturally made a lot of preparations.

    Despite Wang Chun having a greater understanding of the illusionary snakes than them and them having the ability to rescue Qin Jie even if he was hit by the attack earlier, the price they needed to pay would definitely not be low.

    After this, they probably needed to be more careful.

    "Chen Feng,e."

    Wang Chun passed the illusionary snake to Chen Feng.

    "Mhm."

    Chen Feng looked at the illusionary snake.

    This was a small snake with a length of 20 cm. Its whole body was silver colored. That bright silver all over its body was unexpectedly giving him a feeling of extreme beauty.

    The production of illusionary snake¡¯s scale was very simple.

    Using 100 scales as the core material, proceeding with gene search, catalyzing the reaction of the genes, and subsequently fusing the gene. Chen Feng started the production in a well-practiced way, subsequently¡ª

    Production failed!

    Wang Chun had prepared an ample amount of materials. In the span of a few minutes, Chen Feng had crazily produced 10 times. Naturally, there was no exception. All of them failed!

    Their goal was the illusionary snake leader!

    All the illusionary snake¡¯s scales before them could be considered practice materials for Chen Feng. Naturally, Chen Feng was not courteous and rationally enjoyed his benefit.

    "The remaining scales can¡¯t be used anymore."

    Chen Feng was feeling somewhat regretful.

    "We shall continue, then," Wang Chun said indifferently.

    Once again, the gic squad ventured forth. This time, they were even more cautious than before.

    Before them was a sky-covering sandstorm. Now, they had truly stepped into the Deste Rocky Grounds. Qin Jie even had his gic ability fully activated, not daring to rx even the slightest bit!

    Even if they were facing the illusionary snakes that were far weaker than them.

    Suddenly, a huge silhouette appeared in the sandstorm. An indistinct dragon howl appeared. A terrifyingly huge creature seemed to be waking up distantly as a terrifying aura slowly pervaded the area around it.

    "What is that..."

    Qin Jie gulped abruptly.

    "Is it an illusionary snake leader?"

    Wang Chun concentrated his gaze.

    Have we met with one after just stepping in? But this size...

    "Howl¡ª"

    A howl resounded, akin to a dragon¡¯s howl from the nine heavens!

    Within the sandstorm.

    That huge silhouette was still slowly unfolding its body, seemingly just waking up. Although they couldn¡¯t get a clear look, they guessed that this illusionary snake leader might have been awakened by the aura of strangers.

    "What should we do?"

    Several members of the gic squad gulped.

    Illusionary snake?

    The heck with this one here that is nearly a huge dragon instead of a snake?

    An Te looked inquisitively at Wang Chun.

    "What¡¯s there to be afraid of?"

    Wang Chun sneered. "Although we have never met one, illusionary snake leaders have appeared many times before. Regardless of how huge its size is, its strength is still evaluated as only E-ss. There are so many of you, with professional hunting equipments and experiences. Don¡¯t tell me you all can¡¯t even defeat a snake."

    An Te silently nodded.

    "Prepare for battle!"

    Faint energy started dispersing.

    Since their employer, Wang Chun, had decided to battle, they had to battle!

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying power was being mustered.

    A battle could happen at any moment.

    "Illusionary snake leader, eh?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze concentrated.

    He did not have the strength of An Te¡¯s squad. However, after many years of threading on the edge of death, he possessed an exceptional sensitivity toward crisis! However, presently, he did not feel any sense of crisis!

    Was it due to the illusionary snake leader being too powerful for him to sense?

    Or...

    Chen Feng suddenly raised his hand.

    "Whoosh!"

    A Wind de shot toward the sandstorm.

    "Chen Feng!"

    Everyone¡¯s heart jolted.

    However, before they could say anything, the Wind de sliced through the standstorm, creating a temporary gap there. Within, a tiny snake could be seen wobbling about pretentiously. In that nket of sandstorm, a huge shadow that was remarkably simr to it was wobbling together with it.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Everyone: "..."

    "His¡ª"

    "His¡ª"

    The tiny silver snake stretched its tongue.

    "Howl¡ª"

    An indistinct dragon howl came from that huge shadow.

    Everyone¡¯s mouth twitched.

    So... they had actually been scared by a damnable illusionary snake?

    At the same time.

    That tiny silver snake felt that something was wrong and turned around to take a look. The sight that weed it was the momentarily dispersed sandstorm. At that, the tiny snake was so shocked its body shivered. Subsequently, leaving behind a silvery light, it fled like a wisp of smoke.

    "This fellow..."

    Wang Chun did not know whether tough or cry. What was this?

    "Qin Jie!" An Te inhaled deeply as he gnashed his teeth. "Did you not notice any oddities?"

    First, they let Shen Yi find an oddity for them. Next, they let Chen Fengy bare the crux for them. Their very own scout, on the other hand, was like an idiot, not detecting anything?

    "I..."

    Qin Jie could only smile bitterly.

    He had originally thought that the reason for him being unable to feel anything was due to the ability of this illusionary snake leader being too strong for him to detect.

    "Be more serious!" An Te told him.

    "That tiny silver snake probably went through a brain mutation," Chen Feng said thoughtfully.

    "That¡¯s probable."

    Wang Chun nodded. Miss Shen Yi, on the other hand, was always beaming. Even when she saw an illusionary snake, she did not exhibit any fear. An extremely interested expression was shown on her face instead.

    The squad ventured forth once again.

    Everyone increased their vignce once again.

    At this instant, an illusionary snake appeared from a sandstorm in the distance.

    "It¡¯sing."

    An Te¡¯s eyes shone. They had noticed this fellow much earlier. Suddenly, that illusionary snake spat out a white liquid that shot toward An Te.

    Its speed was extremely fast.

    "Not good."

    An Te took all sorts of defensive measures. Even hiding behind a stone was useless. That saliva actually pierced through the stone and ended upnding on his body, causing everyone to perspire from the shock.

    However...

    That white liquid did not seem to have any power in it. After Chen Feng scanned it, he found that the seemingly terrifying liquid was merely normal saliva...

    Saliva of an illusionary snake...

    An Te struck back in anger.

    "Whoosh!"

    Another glob of saliva shot out from the illusionary snake.

    An expression of disgust on his face, An Te evaded it. However, when that salivanded on the ground, a piece of stone was corroded, leaving behind a deep pit. At this, everyone started perspiring.

    This thing...

    "Fully activate our defenses!"

    An Te¡¯s gaze was cold. "Treat every single illusionary snake like a peak E-ss beast. Let¡¯s use this snake here as a reference. Find out what the heck is actually going on with this snake here!"

    "Understood."

    Everyone agreed with him.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    The illusionary snake attacked crazily.

    A mouthful of venom, a mouthful of saliva¡ªasionally, ice bullets or mes would be added into its attacks as well. Sometimes, even high-temperature vapor would be spat out by the snake. Sometimes, it would also emit a dense fog, almost sessfully escaping in the process. There was also that unpleasant odor and the sudden protrusion of spikes from the ground under their feet.

    All these caused one to be unable to guard against it!

    However, it still failed to avoid getting killed by An Te¡¯s squad.

    "How¡¯s the evaluation result?" Wang Chun asked.

    "Let me take a look."

    An Te walked over to take a look as well.

    Although illusionary snakes theoretically possessed endless possibilities, the odds of ability release of many gic abilities was something that was supposed to be calcble.

    For example¡ª

    Thosemonly seen fire or water gic abilities!

    Due to their universality and the proportion of those genes among all genes in an illusionary snake, the probability for them to appear was 50%!

    Apart from this, venom, ice, wind des, or simr types of gic abilities possessed a probability of 30%. The remaining 19% would be some weird things, such as asionally causing a piece of rocky ground to suddenly sink in or their silver scales bing golden scales, the snake¡¯s body be bigger, etc.

    And the remaining 1%...

    Were extremely dangerous abilities!

    For example, that saliva that was randomly spat at An Te earlier. In the illusionary snake¡¯s subsequent attacks, a simr circumstances did not appear anymore...

    Hence...

    If what appeared on that initial attack was not saliva, and was venom instead?

    It would be extremely dangerous!

    Every single illusionary snake had to be treated like a peak E-ss beast!

    Even if it might be totally harmless!

 Chapter 79: King Yan

    Chapter 79: King Yan

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In the Deste Rocky Grounds, sandstorms still pervaded the area.

    Chen Feng swung his somewhat sour right hand and discarded the ruined illusionary snake¡¯s scale in his hands. This was his 160th failure.

    Mhm...

    Zero sesses.

    Although his spiritual energy met the requirements, his junior production level was still just 10-star. It was far from meeting the standard required to produce E-ss forms. Hence, it was very difficult for him to produce an illusionary snake¡¯s scale. Without the assistance of his luck values, his sess rate was extremely low.

    However, he did not feel pressured.

    His current goal was the illusionary snake leader. Before meeting the leader, all illusionary snakes met were merely practice materials for him. As such, this wasn¡¯t quite a waste of their time.

    Wang Chun did not find this surprising as well.

    Many producers would fuse with formidable gic abilities that would greatly increase their production capabilities at a crucial point. The practice Chen Feng went through now were all in order to produce it better when they met an illusionary snake leader.

    Naturally, this was also due to Chen Feng¡¯s status being different nowadays. If a normal junior producer dared to y it this way, he would have gotten himself thrown out to feed some illusionary snake long ago.

    "Chirp!"

    A huge bird flew over in the sky.

    "Bang!"

    A bundle crashed downward.

    Chen Feng opened it in a well-practiced way. Within was a new set of production materials¡ªthis was the express airdrop service. In ordance to the environment, different mutated beasts will be sent to deliver packages. Professional, fast, and secure.

    Wang Chun looked at the time. Half a day had passed. "No illusionary snake leader found yet?"

    Qin Jie shook his head. "Nope."

    After they got a concrete data on illusionary snake from analyzing it, their illusionary snakes killing speed increased greatly. Now, it was already possible for Qin Jie to urately grasp the appearances of illusionary snakes, not leaving any opportunity for the snakes to make a move.

    However, they had yet to see any illusionary snake leaders.

    "Continue."

    Wang Chun looked toward the sandstorm.

    Since no illusionary snake leaders were found on the outer region of the Deste Rocky Grounds, they could only enter deeper into the area.

    An Te nodded slightly. "Understood."

    The area was still engulfed in a sandstorm.

    A faint power swirled around, blocking off the sandstorm around them. They started heading toward the inner region of the area. However, they had only walked a few steps before that little girl called Shen Yi stopped abruptly.

    "What¡¯s the matter?" Wang Chun asked in concern.

    "..." Shen Yi blinked herrge eyes and said doubtfully, "Is one of us missing?"

    "How is that possible?" Wang Chunughed involuntarily. "There¡¯s a total of eight of us¡ª"

    Whoosh!

    Wang Chun¡¯s words paused.

    Everyone looked around before they were abruptly rmed from the shock of realizing that there were only seven of them left!

    Originally, they wereprised of Chen Feng, Wang Chun, Shen Yi, and the five from the An Te squad. Now, however, one person was missing from the An Te squad!

    "????"

    The expression of An Te and his group changed greatly as well.

    "Where¡¯s Zhang Lei?"

    An Te was ashen-faced.

    "He was guarding the rear, providing cover for us. However, unexpectedly..."

    One of the squad members was deathly pale as he said this.

    Something happened!

    It was normal to be met with danger during explorations!

    They had all prepared for the prospect of death. However, a strange disappearance like this caused everyone to feel an indescribable chill and iparably horrified.

    "Qin Jie..." An Te said.

    "I did not feel anything."

    Qin Jie¡¯s expression was unsightly.

    This was the scary part of it.

    A squad member had disappeared just like that while he, as the member with the strongest detection ability, had failed to detect anything? What exactly was their enemy this time?!

    "Could it be simply him failing to catch up with us?" Chen Feng guessed. "For example, he couldn¡¯t hold his pee in and went to take a leak, or something like that?"

    "..."

    Everyone looked at Chen Feng weirdly.

    "A qualified squad member would definitely report that kind of thing." An Te inhaled deeply. "However, there is such a possibility after all. Qin Jie, contact King Yan[1] and check Zhang Lei¡¯s life or death status."

    "Alright."

    Qin Jie turned hismunication device on.

    King Yan?

    Chen Feng felt somewhat doubtful.

    "A gic warrior with the ability to determine one¡¯s life or death status," Wang Chun exined softly. "This ability isn¡¯t particrly useful. However, this fellow proimed himself as King Yan and opened a virtual shop called ¡®Life and Death Book.¡¯ Unexpectedly, his business is actually quite good. The previously umted missing person cases have been solved with his help. He is quite a famous person."

    So this is the case...

    Chen Feng felt enlightened.

    This world was indeed iparably intriguing. Apart from chasing after top-notchbat power, every single person possessing peculiar abilities would be able to find their own purpose of existence.

    "Di di¡ª"

    "Signal lost!"

    Qin Jie¡¯s wristband buzzed violently.

    The expression of others changed greatly as they checked their wristband and found that all of them had lost their signal!

    Chen Feng nced at his wristband as well.

    No signal!

    "We have been blocked."

    Qin Jie was ashen faced.

    Although the Deste Rocky Grounds was filled with sandstorms that would affect their signals to a certain extent, a situation like losing contact would definitely not appear. Their current circumstances were definitely the product of someone else¡¯s disturbance!

    Someone had acted against them!

    In this Deste Rocky Grounds!

    "This is looking somewhat bad."

    Wang Chun felt his head aching. He couldn¡¯t understand. Who would actually make a move on them at this ce?

    "Let me try." An Te turned his screen on with a solemn expression. "Although the signal getting blocked is somewhat difficult to deal with, there is still a way to solve it. Beforeing, I prepared a breakout chip. However, I¡¯m not sure how effective it is. If the level of our opponent¡¯s block is too high, my breakout chip wouldn¡¯t work."

    "Ka!"

    The chip activated.

    "Hum¡ª"

    On his screen, a blue-colored light disk was spinning.

    Whoosh!

    The light disk was operating frantically.

    All sorts of never-before-seen symbols started flickering, apanied by garbled text.

    After a long time, when the light disk finally stopped, only three terms were left. Among them, the words "Wang Yue" were written.

    "Seems like it¡¯s not enough."

    An Te felt greatly disappointed.

    "I don¡¯t need anything more."

    A cold glint flickered in Wang Chun¡¯s eyes. When he saw the name Wang Yue, he clearly knew that this good cousin of his had finally made a move on him!

    Wang Chun sneered. Just this much has happened and you can¡¯t resist making a move anymore?

    Very good!

    "Let¡¯s return," Wang Chun said calmly. "Since something like this has happened, there¡¯s no longer any need to continue hunting for an illusionary snake leader. I will give you all the reward in advance. Consider it as the death pension for the brother from earlier."

    "Thanks."

    Qin Jie and the rest of the squad members expressed their gratitude.

    When something like this happened during an exploration, even if it was something that happened due to the employer, it was something that would be considered as the hired squad¡¯s own problem. People would rarelypensate them for this.

    An Te smiled bitterly. "I¡¯m afraid we can¡¯t even return."

    "?"

    Everyone looked at him doubtfully.

    "If it¡¯s really as you said, then do you think that the gic squad sent by that Wang Yue fellow to kill us would not bepletely prepared? They should know the strength of all of us and have sent out a professional assassination squad to deal with us despite not knowing exactly what abilities we have!"

    An Te pointed at the remaining terms deciphered by his chip.

    Ambush killing, escape route.

    "Our opponent¡¯s goal is to kill you all in an ambush. If I guessed correctly, I believe all our escape routes should have been blocked by now. If we were to return, all that would await us is death."

    His expression was extremely unsightly.

    He was the captain of a gic squad. As such, he had a deeper understandings of such thingspared to Wang Chun.

    "What should we do, then?"

    Wang Chun felt his head aching.

    "Prate deeply!"

    An Te had no hesitation. "These sandstorms will not inconvenience only us. Those people won¡¯t feel too good either. The deeper we go, the worse the sandstorms will be, the stronger a shelter they will be for us as well!"

    "All right."

    Everyone looked at each other.

    At this moment, only by following the most experienced person, An Te, could they avoid this disaster.

    "Chen Feng, I¡¯m sorry."

    Wang Chun was feeling sorry.

    He did not expect that this one illusionary snake trip would bring such trouble to Chen Feng!

    "No worries."

    Chen Feng smiled.

    Wang Yue?

    Was he truly making his move for Wang Chun? Or was it for himself?

    Or was it...

    For both of them?

    Chen Feng looked at the 500 points of luck value he had and sneered. Since he dared toe for this exploration trip, he had definitely madeplete preparations!

    Wang Yue?

    Hehe.

    It was about time for certain things to be truly settled.

    Chapter 80: Danger at Every Step

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Hu¡ª"

    The sandstorm was still there.

    Chen Feng and the rest, a total group of seven, were traveling through the sandstorm.

    Everyone¡¯s expression was solemn. Even when they met illusionary snakes, they would ignore the snakes, choosing to avoid them instead. Currently, everyone¡¯s attention was on that enemy that might appear at any time.

    A sense of crisis was enveloping everyone¡¯s mind.

    Qin Jie did not even dare to rx the tiniest bit.

    Both his eyes were sharp as lighting, and both his ears trembled lightly.

    Both his gic abilities were fully activated.

    Regardless of how strong the enemies were, he had the confidence to grasp at least the tiniest clue of their appearance.

    "They might be peak E ss as well."

    "Even if they are stronger than us, it wouldn¡¯t be by much. Otherwise, there would be no need for them to hunt for us this way. Hence, we still have a chance."

    This was the conclusion drawn by the An Te squad.

    Now, they needed to look for that chance of survival amidst the danger.

    Suddenly, a gale engulfed a ce somewhere in the distance.

    Behind them, where they had just traveled past, that sandstorm that had been constantly brutal suddenly became somewhat illusionary. Within the sandstorm, a silhouette of light flickered.

    "There!"

    Qin Jie noticed it right away.

    Abnormality found!

    Something seemed to be rolling around in the sandstorm.

    "Be careful," An Te told him.

    Everyone got into their positions and stared unwaveringly at the sandstorm as the rolling silhouette of light becamerger. The silhouette appeared incredibly in harmony with the sandstorm it was hidden within.

    Suddenly, there was a dazzling sh of radiance.

    "Be careful!"

    Everyone activated their defensive measures.

    In that instant, their eyes seemed to lose focus.

    "Bang!"

    They instinctively started unleashing their attacks.

    The attacks bombarded the location in front of them.

    "Bang!"

    Apanied by a loud sound, all their attacksnded on the ground.

    Soon after, the sandstorm returned to its normal status. That silhouette of light seemed to have disappeared.

    "Has it escaped?" Qin Jie muttered.

    The silhouette was radiating a weird feeling. It appeared human-like yet not human-like at the same time. Possessing the ability to radiate in light instantly, what special ability was that? Laser shooting?

    He shook his head.

    "He is indeed not too strong."

    Wang Chun felt relieved.

    "Indeed."

    Qin Jie nodded. "If our opponent¡¯s ability was high enough to crush us, they would havee out and faced us long ago. The fact that they are only using assassination methods show that our opponents do not want to suffer any losses, or..."

    Qin Jie was midway through his sentence before a terrified expression appeared on his face.

    What was the matter?

    Everyone¡¯s heart jolted.

    Enemy?

    They instinctively started looking around them.

    Chen Feng followed his gaze and looked over at the ground. At that instant, his pupil constricted as well.

    "We lost one of us again."

    "What?"

    Everyone looked at each other. This was truly rming.

    The An Te squad suffered another loss!

    They were originally a five man group. Now, however, only three were left.

    "How is this possible..."

    The remaining members were rmed. "He was obviously standing behind me earlier."

    Standing back to back was their optimal position when inbat. However, earlier, one of them was lost just like that.

    "Damn!" An Te cursed.

    Qin Jie¡¯s expression was extremely unsightly. Why did this have to happen now? If he was given more time, this squad...

    Sigh.

    Qin Jie clenched his fists tightly.

    "What¡¯s the matter?"

    Chen Feng noticed his expression that was somewhat odd.

    "Nothing."

    Not willing to say much, Qin Jie shook his head.

    Chen Feng did not ask too much either.

    To lose two people continuously, if one were to say they did not feel any sense of crisis, it would be fake.

    However¡ª

    Chen Feng was not feeling any sense of crisis!

    Under normal circumstances, as long as his life was threatened, he would definitely be able to feel some sense of crisis. This was not some special ability of his. Rather, this was something he gained after experiencing 20 years of his life threading along the edge of a death. However, earlier, when they lost two of their teammates, he had not felt any sense of crisis!

    This was absolutely abnormal.

    Unless...

    Chen Feng suddenly opened his mouth. "We might have guessed wrongly. Our initial guess was our opponents were actually a gic squad. Due to their strength not being much stronger than us, or due to them not wanting to suffer too great a loss, they decided to use this method of assassinating us one by one. However, is there a possibility that our opponent is actually a single person?"

    "There¡¯s only a single person, hence only this method could be employed."

    "He is extremely strong. However, he is also afraid of being surrounded by us."

    "Hence..."

    "He can only kill us one by one!"

    Chen Feng drew his hypothesis.

    Everyone exchanged nces, agreeing with his conclusion.

    Then¡ª

    What was the ability of that fellow?

    In this unique era, the scariest thing was not an opponent whose ability surpassed you. Instead, what was scary was the unknown!

    An unknown ability!

    After thinking about it, the several times where their enemy made his move, that flickering radiance and that ability to hide within a sandstorm, and the ability to noiselessly take someone away, what was that ability, exactly?

    What kind of mystical gic ability was that?

    Someone possessing an unknown ability, hidden within the sandstorm and observing them in the dark, looking for an opportunity to make a move on them at any time. This was indeed something that caused one¡¯s hair to stand on end in fear.

    Wang Chun looked at Shen Yi. "Shen Yi, are there any methods?"

    "Nope."

    Shen Yi shook her head. "Our opponent never truly appeared. Hence, I have no way to act against him."

    "Is that so?"

    Wang Chun¡¯s expression was solemn.

    This time, it was truly getting dangerous!

    "Qin Jie, block off our sound," An Te suddenly said.

    Qin Jie nodded slightly. "Understood."

    "Hum¡ª"

    A wisp of energy quietly enveloped everyone. This was a small technique created by Qin Jie in ordance with his gic abilities. With this, he was able to block others from listening to them.

    "I have an idea," An Te said softly. "Later, when that fellow appears once again, we need to take the opportunity and rush into the sandstorm to kill him. If he is really only a single person..."

    "I will make him pay for my members¡¯ lives!"

    An Te was filled with killing intent.

    "All right."

    Everyone looked at each other.

    This method was feasible.

    Rather than waiting for death without knowing how one died like the two that died earlier, they might as well rush it out.

    There were still six of them!

    The two strongest of An Te squad, An Te and Qin Jie were both still here. They had no reason to fear the enemy.

    "Depart."

    The group set off once again.

    They ventured forth in the sandstorm as time passed quietly. Everyone was waiting for an opportunity to act.

    After a long time, an abnormality finally appeared in the sandstorm.

    A silhouette of light flickered within. This time, without any hesitation, everyone rushed into it. At the same instant the radiance flickered, they rushed into the sandstorm.

    "Bang!"

    All sorts of attacknded.

    However¡ª

    The sandstorm was still empty.

    And when they looked at each other, they started perspiring.

    Another person gone!

    In that time frame of a split second where they rushed into the sandstorm, the An Te squad lost another member. Only two were left!

    An Te and Qin Jie!

    The group of eight only had five remaining. Chen Feng, Wang Chun, Shen Yi, Qin Jie, and An Te.

    "How could things be this way..."

    An Te was dazed. Another person gone.

    "Bang!"

    Qin Jie punched the rocks around them ferociously.

    Blood flowed out of his fist.

    "They are all our brothers that had went through a lot together."

    Qin Jie¡¯s voice was hoarse. "It is eptable if they were to die in battle. However, to die like this...damn it. An Te, if you had listened to me previously..."

    "You are ming me?"

    An Te was filled with anger as well.

    "If you had listened to me and invited more people, creating a full team, we would have been able to further develop our team. They would not have died as well!" Qin Jie was emotional. "Although you are the strongest, you couldn¡¯t make it in terms of management! You are not qualified to be the captain!"

    "How about you be the captain, then?"

    An Teughed angrily.

    "Shut up!" Wang Chun rebuked them. "At times like this, you are still fighting among yourselves?"

    Qin Jie stared at An Te and mumbled, "I not only hate him, I hate myself as well... Both of us are the strongest, yet we failed to protect our team members."

    Everyone was silent.

    People kept going missing, yet they had no way to deal with it.

    "I refuse to believe this! What ability is it that is so mysterious?"

    Qin Jie pressed both his hands onto the ground.

    "Hum¡ª"

    A ripple spread around noiselessly.

    "Can you see the enemy?" Wang Chun asked.

    Although Qin Jie was very angry, his mind, on the other hand, was still clear, "No. However, I found a cave nearby. Regardless of how strong that fellow is, as long as we enter the cave, he will have no way to assassinate us! He can only show himself and face us!"

    "All right."

    Everyone¡¯s eyes lit up.

    There would be no sandstorm in the cave. Instead, within, there was only a simple empty space.

    This was a very good idea.

    "Go."

    "Enter the cave immediately!" Wang Chun ordered decisively.

    There, they would have the final confrontation with this mysterious enemy.

 Chapter 81: Shen Yiâ€™s Death

    Chapter 81: Shen Yi¡¯s Death

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In the Deste Rocky Grounds, the sky gradually darkened.

    The sandstorm appeared even scarier in the dark. The asional appearance of illusionary snakes furtherpounded the scariness of the ce. Chen Feng¡¯s group was calmly venturing forth within the sandstorm.

    "It¡¯s right ahead," Qin Jie softly said.

    "Mhm."

    Wang Chun nodded lightly.

    However, at this instant, the sandstorm around them became violent. Behind them, right where they had just travelled past, a countless amount of sandstorms started bubbling up!

    That guy... was making his move again!

    "Ignore him," An Te said coldly. "He¡¯s probably worrying now that we are getting near the cave. Let¡¯s enter the cave as soon as possible. When we reach the cave, only death awaits him."

    "All right," everyone answered.

    "Qin Jie, you lead the way. Wang Chun and the rest can stay in the middle. I will guard the rear." An Te was filled with killing intent. "I refuse to believe that he can assassinate me."

    In regards to purebat power alone, he was definitely the strongest here. The reason that mysterious person kept hiding from them was probably due to him being afraid of An Te, deterring him from making a direct move against them.

    "All right," Qin Jie answered coldly.

    "Whoosh!"

    A ripple spread noiselessly.

    "Follow me."

    Qin Jie led everyone as they quickly moved forward.

    The sandstorm behind was bing scarier as time passed.

    "Faster!" An Te urged.

    Chen Feng and the rest in the middle were following closely behind Qin Jie as they move forward quickly. In Chen Feng¡¯s hand, the thundersnake gene reagent had already been quietly taken out. If they were to meet with any dangers...

    "We¡¯re here!"

    A happy expression appeared on Qin Jie¡¯s face.

    The cave was now within reach.

    "Bang!"

    The sandstorm in front was shaken apart by Qin Jie.

    Taking the lead, he rushed into the cave. Chen Feng and the rest followed closely behind. However, at that instant, the sandstorm behind them suddenly started sweeping toward them.

    "Bang!"

    They were engulfed by endless sands.

    "Be careful!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s vignce rose greatly.

    However, surprisingly, even when the danger seemed so near, he did not feel any sense of crisis. The enemy¡¯s target this time was still not him!

    "Is it An Te?"

    Chen Feng frowned.

    An Te was someone at the peak of E-ss. If even he met with mishap...

    "Whoosh!"

    Qin Jie split the sandstorm apart.

    "Come in, fast!"

    Qin Jie bellowed as everyone instinctively followed him and entered the cave. The instant they entered, the all-enveloping sandstorm seemed to disappear. Behind them, An Te also entered the cave.

    "Is everyone..."

    Before finishing his sentence, Wang Chun stopped.

    Sigh.

    Chen Feng sighed.

    Qin Jie and Wang Chun exchanged nces before shutting their eyes with great difficulty.

    One of them was missing once again.

    "How is that possible..." Wang Chun shuddered. "How could things be this way?!"

    Shen Yi had disappeared.

    At the final moment, when they were about to step into the cave, arge amount of sandstorms started sweeping toward them. That incredibly beautiful girl had also been engulfed by the sandstorm, never to be seen again.

    Out of their group of eight, only four remained.

    "I tried my best." An Te sighed. "I was still protecting you all. However, the huge amount of sandstorms during the final moment disturbed me. By the time I shook the sandstorm off me..."

    Everyone kept silent.

    Seemingly feeling somewhat sorry, An Te had always volunteered to guard the rear.

    He had ced himself at the most dangerous spot. However, that mysterious person had ignored him all along and kept acting against others instead.

    Couldn¡¯t guard against him no matter what!

    "His ability should be something rted to sandstorms," Qin Jie said hoarsely.

    Wang Chun: "..."

    His looked extremely down.

    Who would have guessed that a single mission would end up this way?

    ming An Te?

    The losses he suffered were even worse.

    "Wang Yue..."

    Wang Chun clenched his fists, filled with killing intent.

    "You and I, I vow that the both of us won¡¯t be alive under the same piece of sky!" he bellowed loudly.

    After a long time, the cave returned to its original tranquility.

    An Te stood up and turned amp on, illuminating the entire cave with a gentle light.

    He walked toward the cave entrance and looked at the endless sandstorm outside and the darkened sky. He used the crushed rocks beside him to temporarily cover half the entrance.

    The sandstorm was blocked outside the cave.

    The whistling sound of wind was blocked as well, and silence fell upon the cave.

    "You all should take a rest."

    "I guess that guy won¡¯t dare toe in anyway. I want to see how long they can continue blocking the signals. If they continue with the signal blocking for too long, they will attract the Gic Union¡¯s attention."

    An Te looked at them. "Just go to sleep. Maybe everything will be fine by tomorrow."

    Chen Feng looked at him. "How about you?"

    "Qin Jie and I will take turns keeping watch," An Te said softly. "We have always been battling it out in the wilderness all year round. It wouldn¡¯t be an issue for us to stay awake for even several days and nights. You are a producer, while Wang Chun is a young master. Its better if you both take a rest."

    "Many thanks," Chen Feng said.

    Chen Feng opened the outdoor equipment prepared by Wang Chun. Within were all sort ofpressed foods and equipment. Chen Feng opened apressed spherical tent and built a tent for Wang Chun.

    Since he was in a bad condition currently, Chen Feng tried to help him as much as possible.

    Next, Chen Feng built another tent to the side.

    He looked at An Te and Qin Jie that was guarding the entrance. "Do both of you need any?"

    Both of them shook their head. For people like them, who were in the wilderness all year long, something like a tent that limited their field of vision would affect their alertness.

    Chen Feng shrugged.

    However, just as he was prepared to get into the tent, Wang Chun¡¯s voice traveled over.

    "Chen Feng," Wang Chun said softly.

    "Mhm?"

    Chen Feng was somewhat surprised.

    "Can youe over and apany me?" Wang Chun¡¯s voice was like someone on the verge of crying. "I¡¯m afraid when I¡¯m alone."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    An Te and Qin Jie: "..."

    What on earth was this?

    Chen Feng could only smile bitterly.

    Shen Yi had just died. Wang Chun was currently extremely unstable. Chen Feng could understand his current feelings. Wang Chun had treated him kindly before. Everything he knew about the illusionary snake was taught by Wang Chun as well. At times like these, he couldn¡¯t abandon Wang Chun.

    "All right."

    Chen Feng entered Wang Chun¡¯s tent.

    However, the moment he lifted the curtain at the tent entrance, Chen Feng¡¯s pupils constricted suddenly. He paused momentarily before entering like nothing had happened.

    That thick curtain fell down quietly.

    "Sigh."

    An Te and Qin Jie saw this and could only sigh.

    They were still too young, after all. It was normal to be afraid.

    After the initial panic, they had regained their calmness. Something like death, wasn¡¯t it something they had seen a lot?

    Life and death, they were already used to it.

    "An Te."

    Qin Jie¡¯s voice was somewhat soft.

    He had been in countless arguments with An Te previously due to the captain position and recruitment issues of their squad. Now, all of that seemed pointless.

    "If I die, bring my ashes back to my hometown," Qin Jie said softly.

    "What nonsense are you saying?" An Te red at him. "How would you die?"

    "Who knows?" Qin Jie muttered.

    Through the cracks between the crushed rocks, he looked out of the cave. The starry sky was covered by an endless sandstorm. For reasons unknown, he felt that the nights here at the Deste Rocky Grounds were especially cold.

    "You..."

    An Te looked at him, an indescribable light flickering in his eyes.

    Currently, within the tent, a strange expression on his face, Chen Feng was looking at the smiling Wang Chun and the beautiful girl who was standing nonchntly beside him.

    That¡¯s right, the girl was Shen Yi.

    This girl was still alive?

    Chen Feng had a speechless expression on his face.

    Couldn¡¯t fall asleep?

    Apany me?

    Apany your sister!

    This bastard clearly had something he wanted to say and wanted Chen Feng to enter the tent. It was only that Qin Jie was outside...

    "Don¡¯t worry," Wang Chun said softly. "With Shen Yi here, they won¡¯t be able to sense anything."

    "That¡¯s good then." Chen Feng was relieved and subsequently started feeling doubtful. "When did Miss Shen Yi return?"

    "Not return." Wang Chun¡¯s smiling expression became somewhat cold. "She was killed."

    Chen Feng stirred. "What?"

    "Killed." Shen Yi wrinkled her delicate tiny nose and said indignantly, "When I wasing here with you all, the sandstorm behind us engulfed me, and then I was killed. Luckily, I¡¯m not someone of this world. Or else I would really be dead! Wow, the people in your world are truly too scary."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    What did she meant by ¡®not someone of this world¡¯?

    Wang Chun smiled calmly. "Look at this first."

    Hum¡ª

    Wang Chun raised his hand.

    A semi-illusionary book appeared midair and started rotating as it hovered. Along with the flickering glow surrounding the book, Shen Yi¡¯s silhouette gradually disappeared before gradually reappearing in the same tempo as the flickering glow. On that semi-illusionary book, a portrait of a beautiful girl could be seen. As Shen Yi appeared, the portrait disappeared. As Shen Yi disappeared, the portrait appeared!

    This is... Chen Feng was suddenly rmed. "Concretization?!"

    Wang Chun smiled calmly. "That¡¯s right."

    When he had obtained this gene in the past, he was given a choice to choose a book to be concretized. Without the slightest hesitation, he chose theic he loved the most:

    "The Fantastic Journey of the Crystal Pce."

    Shen Yi!

    Was one of the main female characters in the book!

    "Impressive."

    Chen Feng could only exim in admiration.

    A damnable nerd that could even summon a female main character to life. What else could he say?

    Wait.

    If that was the case...

    "You saw that mysterious guy?"

    Chen Feng was suddenly rmed.

 Chapter 82: The Real Mysterious Person

    Chapter 82: The Real Mysterious Person

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Yes," Shen Yi said with her gentle voice.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes lit up. "Who?"

    As long as they found out their opponent¡¯s ability and name, it would be much easier to deal with him. The reason this guy was able to run rampant here was due to him being a total unknown factor, not unlike the mutated thundersnake gene. Before the gene became well known, who would have guessed that a gene reagent that even F-ss warriors could use would possess the might of a peak E-ss warrior?

    As soon as the ability of that mysterious man was exposed, they would absolutely not fear him anymore!

    "This is also the reason I called you into the tent," Wang Chun smiled bitterly.

    Chen Feng raised his eyebrow. "Mhm?"

    "That person," Shen Yi paused, "is An Te."

    "What?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted ferociously.

    An Te?

    How was that...

    Whoosh!

    The scenes of what had happened previously shed before Chen Feng¡¯s eyes. From the first death to every singlemand given by An Te, all this shed past Chen Feng, after which he was abruptly rmed.

    A lot of the questions suddenly became clear.

    No wonder they always failed to find the mysterious person!

    No wonder every time that mysterious person appeared, he would appear at the position that they had been at earlier!

    No wonder every single time they rushed over, they failed to see any enemies!

    Apparently, before An Te made his move, he would leave something simr to a time bomb to create some abnormalities in the sandstorm to attract everyone¡¯s attention before assassinating in the dark.

    Blocking?

    Breakout chip?

    All this was probably An Te¡¯s "performance"!

    But why?

    Wang Chun inhaled deeply. "This is only my initial guess."

    "Me hiring them was noticed by Wang Yue. Subsequently, he bribed An Te, getting him to look for an opportunity to deal with us. Subsequently, An Te got tempted to begin his own ns as well."

    "Do you still remember the content of Qin Jie and An Te¡¯s argument from before?"

    "I guess they have some internal strife."

    Wang Chun sneered. "Qin Jie grouped up with others in their squad in order to control An Te. An Te, on the other hand, directly made use of the opportunity of this trip to get rid of all of them!"

    "With this..."

    "Mhm, the reward I paid to hire him and the reward Wang Chun paid to hire him, everything would belong to him alone! Next, he can simply go somewhere new and start fresh," Wang Chun finished indifferently.

    Chen Feng couldn¡¯t help himself and rolled his eyes. What the heck was this?

    However, luckily, they had some internal strife. If what they faced this time was a united squad instead, he and Wang Chun would have probably gotten themselves killed off by now.

    As for the reason he chose to kill his own squad members first?

    That was because Chen Feng and Wang Chun truly appeared harmless. Furthermore, if something were to happen to the both of them, the mission would directly end and the squad members would split the money and go their own ways. Hence, An Te had to get rid of them first before making his move against Chen Feng and Wang Chun!

    "Hence..." Chen Feng analyzed their current situation. "Qin Jie is not aware of the truth."

    "Mhm."

    "It seems like An Te never told them anything."

    Wang Chun nodded.

    "Like this, things will get interesting then," Chen Feng said with a toying expression on his face.

    The An Te that wanted to get rid of everyone.

    The Qin Jie that knew absolutely nothing.

    And there was also he and Wang Chun, who appeared to know nothing yet were already aware of the truth. The two who were, respectively, a producer with ordinarybat strength and a young master.

    Oh.

    There was also Shen Yi who was supposed to be out of the equation.

    Chen Feng looked at Wang Chun. "What do you n to do?"

    "What else?" Wang Chun sneered. "Since they have received my reward, my mission must bepleted! Our next target will be to kill an illusionary snake leader!"

    "Killing an illusionary snake leader..."

    Chen Feng pondered.

    Feasible!

    Killing an illusionary snake leader would aplish the goals of both Chen Feng and Wang Chun!

    Wang Chun was not aware of this, but Chen Feng knew that the moment he fused with an illusionary snake gene reagent, hisbat power would increase greatly!

    An Te?

    Chen Feng was truly not afraid of him!

    Illusionary snake leader¡ªhe had to kill it!

    "Shen Yi will look for an illusionary snake leader secretly and draw it over here."

    A cold glint flickered in Wang Chun¡¯s eyes. "At that time, we can put on a y, getting rid of the snake leader and finishing our mission, before thinking of a way to get rid of An Te!"

    Chen Feng looked at Wang Chun. "Can we defeat him?"

    "Not now." Wang Chun shook his head. "However, when the illusionary snake¡¯s scale is sessfully refined, my power will be greatly increased. Hehe, at that time..."

    Both of them looked at each other, filled with expectation.

    Being in an inferior position?

    Only for now!

    As long as an illusionary snake leader was killed, both theirbat power would increase exponentially!

    Naturally, before that, they need to settle An Te down.

    An Te...

    Qin Jie...

    Chen Feng suddenly thought of something, "If Qin Jie is the only threat left, there¡¯s no need for An Te to be afraid of exposing himself, right? In other words, as long as Qin Jie reduces his vignce, An Te will make his move soon!"

    "Not good."

    Wang Chun¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    If Qin Jie was killed, then things would truly be troublesome for them.

    Wang Chun wanted to go out instinctively; however, he was held back by Chen Feng.

    "Don¡¯t worry. Qin Jie¡¯s detection ability is powerful. He hasn¡¯t made his move now and should be still waiting for an opportunity. If you were to go out now, then everything will truly be finished," Chen Feng said in a low voice.

    "I was too worried."

    Wang Chun calmed himself down.

    "Just leave the rest to me."

    Chen Feng¡¯s lips curled up into a smile.

    Performance?

    Who doesn¡¯t know how to do that?

    At this moment.

    At the entrance of the cave, Qin Jie focused his attention outside, constantly increasing his vignce. However, unconsciously, he had handed his back to An Te.

    Good opportunity!

    A cold glint flickered in An Te¡¯s eyes.

    Quietly, his gic ability condensed in his hands. Just as he was about to kill Qin Jie with a single move, he heard some sound behind him.

    An Te rapidly calmed himself down.

    Qin Jie instinctively turned his head around. "Chen Feng? Why are you out here?"

    "Nothing much." Chen Feng sighed. "He has fallen asleep."

    Qin Jie started talking with him. "You are not sleeping?"

    "I¡¯m not used to sleeping with males," Chen Feng replied casually.

    Qin Jie: "..."

    This was truly a reason one couldn¡¯t refute.

    Chen Feng looked at An Te. "That fellow has not shown himself?"

    "No."

    No trace of emotion could be seen on An Te¡¯s face.

    "Hmph!"

    Chen Feng sneered. "That guy even dared to kill Miss Shen Yi. If he really shows himself, I will make sure that he stays here forever!"

    Qin Jie and An Teughed. They did not took these words seriously and simply took it as Chen Feng venting his frustrations.

    "I¡¯m serious."

    Chen Feng shrugged. "You know what my profession is. You should have heard of the thundersnake gene, right?"

    "Naturally."

    Qin Jie nodded slightly.

    Earlier, before Chen Feng had arrived, Wang Chun had bragged in front of them about how awesome Chen Feng was.

    "Take a look."

    Chen Feng lifted his jacket.

    Qin Jie and An Te abruptly widened their eyes.

    Three mutated thundersnake gene reagents were actually strapped onto his body. Beside that, there¡¯s also an unknown gene there!

    "Three F-ss mutated thundersnake gene reagent. Every single one of them is equivalent to the strongest strike of a peak E-ss warrior."

    An innocent smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face as he pointed at the aurora gene reagent and said earnestly, "There¡¯s also this E-ss mutated earthdragon gene reagent. When it¡¯s totally activated, it will be equivalent to the strongest strike of a peak D-ss warrior."

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Qin Jie and An Te inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    Strongest strike of a peak D-ss warrior?

    Damn!

    Such a gene reagent existed?

    "Naturally, there was no such gene in the past."

    "However, now, there is," Chen Feng indifferently said. "Previously, when I could only produce F-ss genes, I had produced a mutated thundersnake gene possessing the might of a peak E-ss warrior. Now that I¡¯m in E ss, naturally, I will be able to produce the strongest E-ss gene! Otherwise, why would a producer like me dare to step foot into a ce like this?"

    Qin Jie could only exim in admiration.

    A person worthy of the deputy president¡¯s praise indeed! This Chen Feng was truly not ordinary!

    However, An Te, on the other hand, was currently extremely rmed.

    Earlier, he was still considering getting rid of both Qin Jie and Chen Feng together. A single Chen Feng couldn¡¯t aplish much anyway. But now...

    He only felt a burst of lingering fear!

    Peak D ss?

    Are you f*cking kidding me?

    He wanted to say that this was fake. However, Chen Feng¡¯s identity was clear for all to see. Furthermore, there was no need for Chen Feng to lie to them! Besides that, within that unknown gene, he had truly felt an inconceivable power from it!

    Things were getting tricky now.

    Now, An Te no longer dared to make his move.

    Killing Chen Feng?

    What joke was that!

    Having an item with such power strapped onto his body. If he were to kill Chen Feng, he would die together with him!

    Seemed like...

    He could only take his time to look for a solution.

    An Te contemted.

    If he was unaware of Chen Feng¡¯s trump card, then there would be nothing he could do. However, now that he knew about it, he would definitely be able to deal with it!

    He should look for an opportunity to first kill Qin Jie, and he would subsequently disappear, faking his death. Next, he would lure a bunch of illusionary snakes over to attack the both of them, baiting Chen Feng to use up all his trump cards before reappearing in front of them!

    Mhm¡ªperfect n.

    An Te finished his nning and regained his calm.

    However, even after the whole night passed, he had yet to get any opportunity to act.

    That was because Chen Feng did not go to sleep at all. Instead, he was chatting with Qin Jie for the whole night, listening to Qin Jie as he talked about their past experiences during their explorations at various locations.

    The night passed quietly.

 Chapter 83: Are You Scared of Marquee?

    Chapter 83: Are You Scared of Marquee?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Wow. Awesome," Chen Feng eximed in admiration.

    Qin Jie and his squad indeed had colorful stories about their previous explorations. Every step they took were like a thread on the edge of death. A lot of the time, they were put under extremely dangerous situations. There were even situations that were much more dangerous than their current situation.

    It¡¯s no wonder they were so calm currently.

    "It¡¯s all in the past."

    Qin Jie sighed. Being praised by a producer with good prospects like Chen Feng, he felt somewhat honored.

    "No worries. After this is over, you cane look for me," Chen Feng said calmly. "I will prepare a mutated earthdragon gene reagent for you as your trump card."

    "Haha, thanks in advance then."

    Qin Jie was stirred.

    Mutated earthdragon gene reagent?

    That was something as strong as a peak D-ss attack.

    No wonder so many people tried to get close to producers. This person known as Chen Feng would absolutely be a grandmaster producer in the future! Qin Jie decided that, this time, he had to protect Chen Feng nicely, not letting any mishaps befall him.

    Naturally, he was not aware that this so called mutated earthdragon gene reagent was something made up by Chen Feng or that Chen Feng¡¯s reason foring out of the tent was in order to protect him.

    However, it was also due to this little n in Qin Jie¡¯s mind that he was now inseparable from Chen Feng. This caused immense pain to An Te, who had been waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack him.

    Seemed like he wouldn¡¯t get a chance to act any time soon.

    Well, he still had a lot of time anyway...

    An Te sneered inwardly.

    At this time, Wang Chun came out of his tent as well. After a night¡¯s rest, hisplexion was much better. At the very least, he wasn¡¯t as pale as he was yesterday.

    "What should we do now?"

    Wang Chun had a "nk" expression on his face.

    An Te sighed. "Wait. Thepressed food we prepared is still enough tost us several days. Regardless of how powerful that mysterious person is, I reckon he wouldn¡¯t dare toe in! Although there¡¯s not much human activity at this Deste Rocky Grounds, there¡¯s bound to be someone here eventually. As long as someone noticed the signal blockade, attracting the attention of the Gic Union..."

    "We will be victorious!"

    An Te said solemnly, "Don¡¯t worry. Since I epted your mission, I will definitely bring you out of here!"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    If he hadn¡¯t been aware of the actual truth in advance, he would have actually believed this lie!

    Damnable signal blockade!

    If Chen Feng and Wang Chun guessed correctly, this blockade was actually something that only affected a radius centered around An Te. The signal blockade would only exist around him!

    As long as one was far from An Te, one would still be able to keep in touch with the rest of the world!

    Outsiders?

    They would not notice anything at all.

    Wang Chun had previously attempted to let Shen Yi go get some help. However, since Shen Yi was something he summoned, she wasn¡¯t able to get too far away from him. Even after she reached the maximum length she could leave Wang Chun, she still couldn¡¯t get a signal.

    An Te was waiting, waiting for a chance!

    He would keep these people here in this cave for several days. As long as they dropped their vignce, he would definitely get rid of Qin Jie and proceed with his n.

    As for Chen Feng?

    Chen Feng and Wang Chun were also waiting. Waiting for Shen Yi to lure an illusionary snake leader over!

    Chen Feng had thought of activating his Luck Aura to attract the snake leader. However, after thinking about it for a long time, he still did not dare to try that. The reason was simple¡ªunknown consumption of luck value!

    As soon as Luck Aura started affecting reality, the consumption of luck value would be immense! If his luck value was fully exhausted, only death would await Chen Feng.

    Hence, he would not use it.

    Now...

    Now, they could only see who would get an opportunity to act first.

    Chen Feng muttered inwardly.

    During the day, everyone was waiting.

    Wang Chun was still staring ahead nkly like a soulless person. When he was tired of that, he would go into the tent to sleep. An Te would be guarding the entrance calmly, his gazending on Qin Jie every now and then.

    As for Qin Jie?

    He and Chen Feng were like they had met their significant half, talking about everything under the sun.

    asionally, Chen Feng would enter the tent as well.

    "Shen Yi still hasn¡¯t found anything?"

    Chen Feng was somewhat anxious. "If this drags on longer, An Te will definitely start feeling suspicious."

    "Soon."

    Wang Chun¡¯s eyes were flickering. "As long as she finds an illusionary snake leader, she will definitely have a way to lure it here."

    Chen Feng frowned. "There¡¯s a problem with An Te."

    "What¡¯s the matter?" Wang Chun was rmed. "Has he found out?"

    "Nope." Chen Feng shook his head. "However... I see him asionally checking his screen before sighing that there¡¯s still no signal..."

    "That¡¯s normal." Wang Chun thought about it. "I suppose he is putting up a y for us to see."

    "Or he might be trying to contact others."

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression was solemn.

    A cold glint flickered in Wang Chun¡¯s eyes. Even a single An Te was so problematic to deal with. If he were to contact someone else and get extra help...

    Wang Chun inhaled deeply. "I will urge Shen Yi."

    "Make it as fast as possible."

    Chen Feng left the tent.

    Time flowed.

    In the afternoon, when Chen Feng thought that another day would pass just like that, suddenly, an object radiating with white light shot into the cave.

    Qin Jie was abruptly rmed. "What is it?"

    "Whoosh!"

    A dazzling white radiance rushed over.

    "Rise!"

    An Te lifted a rock and smashed down on it.

    "Bang!"

    That huge rock was actually smashed apart by the white radiance, while the white radiance rushed past the entrance andnded within the cave, revealing its true appearance.

    "This is..."

    Qin Jie and the rest were rmed.

    Chen Feng nced at it and his heart immediately jolted.

    Snake egg!

    This was actually a snake egg!

    An Te was bewildered. "How can this thing appear here?"

    "It must be that damnable mysterious person," Qin Jie bellowed. "He doesn¡¯t dare to enter, so he¡¯s doing this to lure some illusionary snakes over."

    An Te: "..."

    The heck with the mysterious person! I am the actual mysterious person, all right? When the heck did I get my hands on this snake egg? Or is this a coincidence?

    Chen Feng looked at Wang Chun.

    Wang Chun nodded slightly.

    Indeed.

    Chen Feng was immediately relieved.

    Was this something done by Shen Yi?

    Since the snake egg had appeared...

    "Hiss¡ª"

    A terrifying hiss.

    A huge snake radiating silvery light appeared within the sandstorm. Its huge eyes were filled with killing intent as it stared at that snake egg before its gazended on the people in the cave.

    "Throw this egg out to it!" An Te urged.

    "It¡¯s useless." Wang Chun paled. "Since this snake has seen us, how could it let us off? Quick, finish it off. Only by finishing it off will we be able to survive this!"

    "Damn it."

    An Te cursed, wondering how something unforeseen like this had happened.

    "Let¡¯s act together." Qin Jie sneered. "A mere illusionary snake leader. That fellow really believes that it¡¯s enough to get rid of us? An Te, increase our vignce. As soon as that mysterious person appears, kill him immediately."

    "Work hard."

    Chen Feng encouraged. "My gene reagents are all ready as well. That mysterious person must be observing us in the dark. As soon as he shows himself, I will shower him with my reagents!"

    "All right!"

    Qin Jieughed heartily.

    "Come then!"

    "Bang!"

    He took the lead and rushed toward that huge snake.

    An Te was ashen faced.

    Assassinating Qin Jie?

    The current Qin Jie was at his highest state of vignce. There was also that Chen Feng with the constantly flickering reagents in his hands, causing quite a fear in An Te¡¯s heart.

    An Te inhaled deeply. "Seems like I can only get rid of this huge snake first."

    "Bang!"

    He followed behind Qin Jie.

    Chen Feng and Wang Chun exchanged nces, a tinge of a smile in their eyes.

    Initial n sess!

    Then¡ª

    They could now concentrate on killing this huge snake.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    The huge silvery snake rushed toward them crazily.

    If all the members of An Te squad were here, this huge peak E-ss snake wouldn¡¯t be a problem. However, since there was only An Te and Qin Jie here, it became somewhat troublesome to deal with.

    "Bang!"

    A sh of electricity.

    "Ka!"

    A crack suddenly appeared on the ground.

    "Not good."

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed greatly as he pulled Wang Chun and evaded it quickly.

    "Bang!"

    The ground ruptured.

    Half the cave crumbled in a split second.

    "It¡¯s Landslide."

    Wang Chun¡¯s expression was unsightly. "A high level secret art, I did not expect this illusionary snake leader to be able to demonstrate this skill. If it¡¯s like this, I¡¯m afraid..."

    "Hiss!"

    A sharp hiss resounded.

    That huge snake started raging as it failed to catch An Te and Qin Jie even after trying for a long time.

    "Hum¡ª"

    The silver glow on the illusionary snake leader suddenly shone brightly before quickly turning into red color. Next, the dazzling red light flickered before the illusionary snake leader changed into a blue color.

    Purple...

    Yellow...

    Every single color change was extremely dazzling.

    "What ability is this?"

    Everyone stirred.

    With every change of color, they could also keenly feel a different concealed ability within the color that could be unleashed at any moment!

    Chen Feng had a ridiculous expression on his face.

    What the heck is this? An electric snake with marquee installed on it?

    As everyone was bewildered, the illusionary snake leader glowed with a final white radiance and subsequently disappeared right in front of everyone!

    Disappearing without a trace!

    It had actually disappeared.

    "Concealment?"

    Everyone¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying force engulfed the area and the rocks around them started shaking. An Te tried attacking a few times but failed tond his attacks. Instead, he was nearly smashed away by that huge snake. How was one supposed to fight an enemy one couldn¡¯t see?

    "Qin Jie!" An Te bellowed.

    "Understood."

    Qin Jie¡¯s eyes started glowing and his ears trembled unceasingly.

    Hiding?

    2-star secret art ¨C Sky Symphony!

    Qin Jie activated a special skill unique to him. Both his eyes were sharp as, one after another, rays of light interweaved before his eyes and countless ripples started interweaving around his ear.

    "Hum¡ª"

    "Hum¡ª"

    The whole world was seeminglyid bare before Qin Jie¡¯s eyes.

    In the air.

    A trace of abnormality shed through the sandstorm. This was something a normal person would not be able to notice. However, its appearance could not escape Qin Jie¡¯s notice.

    "There!"

    Qin Jie pointed toward a certain spot.

    "Bang!"

    An Te immediately unleashed his attack. A bizarre thunder streaked toward it. Subsequently, apanied by a sharp hiss, a huge body smashed onto the ground.

    The huge snake had shown itself.

    "Next, leave it to me."

    An Te had a malevolent expression on his face.

    "Bang!"

    At this moment, his powerfulbat power was fully disyed.

    Both Qin Jie¡¯s pupils swirled around as he constantly pointed out the weak point of the huge snake to An Te. Before Qin Jie, that initially unfathomably huge snake had nowhere to hide!

    "Pu!"

    "Pu!"

    One after another, scars were left on the huge snake¡¯s body.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    A sorrowful hiss.

    The huge snake noticed what the issue was and started attacking Qin Jie. However, Qin Jie merely sneered at that. He might not have too great an attacking power, but his agility and speed?

    None here couldpare to him!

    "It¡¯s attacking Qin Jie..."

    An Te slightly paused his attacks.

    This was a good opportunity. Qin Jie¡¯s vignce was too high. If he were to get rid of Qin Jie when Qin Jie was busy dodging that huge snake¡¯s attacks... however, just as this thought surfaced, An Te gave up on it after seeing that Chen Feng had suddenly taken out his earthdragon gene reagent, eyeing the current battle that was in progress.

    This was not a suitable time for him to make his move!

    An Te inhaled deeply.

    "Scram!"

    He bellowed.

    He instantly erupted with his maximumbat power!

    2-star secret art!

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying attack was emitted from his hands.

    The illusionary snake leader that was staring at Qin Jie was momentarily careless and got itself pierced through by An Te and firmly stabbed onto the ground. It startedshing its body around frantically.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    The huge body wasshing around franticly.

    The mountainous area around it started crumbling bit by bit. However, the illusionary snake leader still failed to break free. Its blood flowed unceasingly until it finally stopped moving.

    The illusionary snake leader was dead.

    It was extremely strong. However, it still couldn¡¯t contend against a gic squad that was much powerful than it. As for those bizarre abilities possessed by the normal illusionary snakes they encountered the day before? Those were ultimately something that only had a small probability of appearing!

    "It¡¯s dead!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart was aze.

    This was the best material for the illusionary snake reagent!

    "Enter my tent to start the production."

    Wang Chun¡¯splexion also recovered somewhat, regaining its original healthy color.

    "Alright."

    Chen Feng nodded.

    Only half the cave remained after it had crumbled. An Te and Qin Jie sted a small entrance from rubble. Next, Chen Feng and Wang Chun hid into the newly created cave, which was much safer than the previous cave.

    Qin Jie and An Te also entered the cave.

    "You two guard here," Wang Chun said.

    "Don¡¯t worry," An Te said solemnly.

    Now, he couldn¡¯t sit tight anymore. Chen Feng and Wang Chun were both going inside to study the illusionary snake¡¯s scale?

    This was a good opportunity!

    He only needed to look for an opportunity to get rid of Qin Jie. Next, he could pretend that he himself was missing as well before proceeding to lure other illusionary snakes over to waste Chen Feng¡¯s trump card. And as long as both Wang Chun and Chen Feng were dealt with, he could go and get Wang Yue¡¯s reward!

    After that¡ª

    Leaving far away!

    "Soon."

    An Te was excited.

    However, at this moment, Chen Feng suddenly exited the tent.

    "I can¡¯t get distracted during gene production," Chen Feng said solemnly. "Hence, we will be depending on the protection of the both of you. It¡¯s very probable for that mysterious person to appear now. Qin Jie, since your detection ability is the strongest, you can hold on to this thing first..."

    Chen Feng passed the aurora reagent to Qin Jie, "As soon as that mysterious person appears, toss this earthdragon gene reagent at him! I assure you that he will definitely be damaged to the extent that even his mother wouldn¡¯t recognize his face anymore."

    "All right."

    Qin Jie was excited.

    This was the terrifying reagent with the power of a peak D-ss warrior?

    With this...

    "Our safety will be in your hands, then."

    Chen Feng patted his shoulder before entering the tent.

    Qin Jie¡¯s eyes were resolute. "Don¡¯t worry."

    "Hum¡ª"

    Both his eyes were as sharp.

    He proceeded to fully activate his detection ability, not giving the mysterious person any chances to ambush them. That earthdragon gene reagent was sped tightly in his hands, ready to be used at any time.

    Beside him stood An Te with a ridiculous expression on his face.

    ??

    Why would things be this way?

    How good an opportunity was this! He clearly could have easily gotten rid of Qin Jie. Why the heck did this Chen Feng deliver such a powerful trump card into Qin Jie¡¯s hands at this time?

    Was he sick?

    This was the wilderness!

    After giving the item to Qin Jie, wasn¡¯t he scared that Qin Jie would fall out with him instead and end up getting rid of them?

    He couldn¡¯t understand this at all.

    As far as he was concerned, this action of passing one¡¯s strongest trump card to others was something that was done by one who was mentally retarded and had suffered brain damage on top of it. Furthermore, with this, Chen Feng had also spoiled his n.

    Killing Qin Jie?

    How was he supposed to kill Qin Jie now?

    Qin Jie¡¯s vignce was too high. As soon as he felt something abnormal and used that earthdragon reagent, he and An Te would die together.

    "Damn it."

    An Te was feeling hateful.

    As he thought of how Chen Feng kept spoiling his ns, he even started to suspect that Chen Feng had actually seen through him. However, when he thought that the opponent was merely a producer...

    "It¡¯s about time for me to alter my n."

    An Te inhaled deeply.

    He looked at Qin Jie before shaking his head and quietly sent out a message.

    Currently, within the tent, Chen Feng and Wang Chun weremunicating through their screen.

    "Where¡¯s Shen Yi?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Dead." Wang Chun shook his head. "In order to lure that illusionary snake leader here, she used some extreme methods. Ultimately, she failed to avoid the danger."

    "When can she appear again?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Have to wait for her to recover." Wang Chun sighed. "Although, theoretically, she can revive without limit, every time she dies she will be greatly affected. If possible, I truly do not wish such torment upon her."

    Chen Feng nodded slightly.

    "Then, let us begin."

    Wang Chun¡¯s eyes were sharp as electric.

    "All right."

    Chen Feng picked up a piece of scale.

    Rise!

    Gene production, begin!

    There were not many materials remaining. Initially, Wang Chun was still somewhat worried that Chen Feng would fail too many times. After all, Chen Feng had yet to sessfully produce one so far. However, from the time Chen Feng picked the scale up till when he finally stopped, he only spent 30 seconds before passing the item to him.

    An illusionary snake¡¯s scale gene reagent,pleted.

    "Take it."

    Chen Feng passed it to Wang Chun.

    "???"

    Wang Chun was still maintaining a stupefied expression on his face as he nkly epted the item Chen Feng handed to him. He looked at Chen Feng, an unbelievable expression on his face. Just like that, and it waspleted? This production speed was too terrifying, right?

    It wouldn¡¯t be a fake, right?

    He consumed the illusionary snake¡¯s scale reagent.

    "Bang!"

    A gush of terrifying force instantly erupted within his body.

    "It¡¯s real!"

    Wang Chun was stirred.

    Not only was it real, it was even more powerful than what was described in the books!

    "Hum¡ª"

    Wang Chun started digesting the energy within his body quickly.

    "It¡¯s starting."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    As far as he was concerned, Wang Chun¡¯s gene reagent was only some practicing material for him. The reagent that was truly troublesome and time consuming was the illusionary snake fusion reagent that he was about to produce.

    "Hum¡ª"

    He took his incubator liquid out.

    In ordance to the instructions in the books, Chen Feng blended the whole illusionary snake into the incubator liquid as he started the production process. Only after this could he truly get started with the production.

    Gene reaction!

    Gene fusion!

    Luck Aura, activate!

    "Bang!"

    His luck value started dropping rapidly.

    Chen Feng followed the instructions of the books and, with great care, started the fusion and reaction process. Despite being careful and following the instructions, he could still feel that extremely unstable energy.

    He had a feeling that this gene reagent would explode at any moment.

    "Steady!"

    "You must steady up."

    Chen Feng fully activated his Luck Aura.

    Without gene search, he skipped the first step. However, the second and third steps were even moreplicated. Chen Feng inhaled before entering his hyper-dimensional mode.

    Gene production, begin!

    "Bang!"

    The lights before his eyes shattered as he entered his hyper-dimensional mode.

    Brandishing both his hands, he started perfecting everything that could be improved.

    Ten points...

    Twenty points...

    Thirty points...

    His luck value was dropping rapidly.

    Finally, when 200 points of luck value had been used, the gene reaction and collision stopped and regained its tranquility. Gene production,plete!

    "Have I seeded?"

    Chen Feng carefully looked at the liquid before his eyes.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Gene scan.

 Chapter 85: Shen Wei

    Chapter 85: Shen Wei

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Sess!"

    Chen Feng was stirred.

    Mutated! It really mutated!

    As per the data he had seen, a normal illusionary snake gene would increase spirit by 10 to 20 points, ability by 5 to 10 points, and physique by 5 to 10 points. However, now that it had mutated, everything changed! It was a straight flush of 50 points, greatly increasing all the basic attributes. Despite this, what Chen Feng ced utmost importance on was still the main ability of this gene, Myriad Illusions.

    "Myriad Illusions..."

    After reading it twice, Chen Feng nked. This was because behind the description of myriad illusions, there was this particr sentence: a fusion of other gic abilities is required.

    "What does this mean?"

    Chen Feng did not understand.

    However, what he felt regretful was the fact that no further details were provided in the data of this gene. Illusionary snake gene was already a rare gene in itself. Hence, a mutated version of this gene was something that was supposedly something almost impossible to appear. The gene scanner was not omnipotent. It could only be used as a source of reference, and the information provided from the scan was also somewhat vague in nature. To get a more detailed information, Chen Feng needed to go about it himself.

    "Fusion with other abilities is required, eh..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze flickered.

    At the same time.

    "Ka!"

    A soft sound could be heard.

    Wang Chunpleted his breakthrough!

    "Hum¡ª"

    A gush of powerful force congregated around Wang Chun.

    Chen Feng could clearly feel that the current Wang Chun had became much powerful than previously.

    "Hu."

    Wang Chun exhaled a long breath and opened his eyes.

    "You increased your power?"

    Chen Feng was somewhat amazed.

    Illusionary snake¡¯s scale was a very ordinary 2-star E-ss reagent. The description of this gene was also extremely simple: Extracting a part of the illusionary snake gene. Initially, Chen Feng believed that Wang Chun was only using this illusionary snake¡¯s scale to stabilize his current power; however, he never expected it to be able to increase one¡¯s power!

    "Mhm." Wang Chun was overwhelmed with emotion. "It¡¯s a huge improvement!"

    "How¡¯s that possible?"

    Chen Feng was somewhat speechless.

    "Hehe."

    Wang Chun smiled before telling the truth. "The core of my ability originally involves concretizing everything in that book. Although I had broken through long ago, I did not have sufficient genes rted to concretization. The illusionary snake has an all-embracing gene and, coincidentally, has that portion of concretization-rted genes that Icked."

    "So that¡¯s the case."

    Chen Feng suddenly understood.

    Wang Chun¡¯s goal was actually concretization-rted genes?

    That book was clearly Wang Chun¡¯s main gene!

    As long as he continued upgrading his concretization-rted genes, he would be able to summon everything in that book and grasp a more powerful strength in his hands!

    This was the path Wang Chun walked.

    "Then..."

    "It¡¯s my turn to walk my path then."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    "Gulp!"

    He gulped the illusionary snake gene down.

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying power started bubbling within Chen Feng¡¯s body. Endless power dispersed from the fusion reagent and flooded every single nook of Chen Feng¡¯s body, causing Chen Feng intense pain. However, for the Chen Feng that had experienced the gene strengthening process previously, this didn¡¯t feel too terrible.

    Gene fusion began.

    Opposite Chen Feng, Wang Chun had a stupefied expression on his face.

    Gene fusion? Chen Feng was only starting his gene fusion now?

    He had always believed that, since Chen Feng had long broken through into E-ss, he would have fused with a powerful support-type gene ability long ago, granting him such powerful gene production capabilities.

    However, he was only starting his fusion now?

    Wait...

    Not only that.

    The gene fusion reagent that Chen Feng produced seemed to be something produced for himself!

    Wang Chun nked.

    He felt like his logic was being harshly challenged.

    Increasing gene attributes was much easier than gene production. Hence, a lot of people were still stuck at the junior production level even though they had already broken through to E ss.

    As for high-level producers?

    Their spiritual energy was definitely extremely powerful.

    If one¡¯s spiritual energy was insufficient, one would not even meet the lowest requirement needed to start producing genes!

    Hence, he had never seen someone like Chen Feng who had a heaven-defying gene production capability. One who could even produce 4-star E-ss genes before even fusing with an E-ss gic ability.

    Producing one¡¯s own gene-fusion reagent?

    This was simply unbelievable!

    "Shit."

    Wang Chun rubbed his head and could only ept reality after a long time.

    Currently, Chen Feng had also reached the final stage of his breakthrough. All the illusionary snake genes had perfectlybined with his body, bing a part of him.

    Gene fusion,plete.

    ----

    Chen Feng: E-ss gic warrior

    Spirit: 200

    Gic ability: Wind de, Myriad Illusion

    ----

    "Finally, E ss."

    Chen Feng was excited.

    A wisp of spiritual energy drifted around his hands, seemingly existing yet seemingly non-existing. Chen Feng could distinctly feel the surging energy within his body that was on the verge of eruption. This was the true power of an E-ss warrior.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Chen Feng flicked his wrist.

    Whoosh!

    A small Wind de appeared in his hands.

    As his spiritual energy had increased greatly, Chen Feng¡¯s current control of his Wind des was extremely nimble as well. Even the speed of his continuous Wind de release was faster than in the past.

    Previously, he could release 10 Wind des per second¡ªwould the amount be higher now?

    He looked forward to it.

    As for the Myriad Illusions...

    The energy in Chen Feng¡¯s hands flickered; however, he ultimately did not dare to actually use this ability.

    "If you really use that ability, my tent is a gone case," Wang Chun said somewhat grudgingly.

    "Hehe."

    Chen Feng scratched his head.

    "Let¡¯s go."

    "Now, it¡¯s about time we have an honest talk with our squad leader An Te."

    Wang Chun¡¯s eyes flickered with coldness. An Te dared to betray him, causing Shen Yi to die two times and enter deep sleep due to serious injury. He had to pay for this!

    "Yeah."

    Chen Feng smiled.

    He also wanted to see exactly how powerful he was now that he had just broken through.

    Whoosh.

    Both of them exited the tent.

    Nearby, An Te and Qin Jie were still standing on guard.

    "Productionpleted?"

    Qin Jie was happy.

    Chen Feng nodded slightly. "Mhm."

    "Well done." Qin Jieughed heartily. "That mysterious person did not dare toe out at all. We..."

    "Whoosh!"

    A chilling cold glint flickered.

    "Be careful."

    Chen Feng and Wang Chun¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    An Te?

    No, it was not An Te at all.

    Currently, An Te was around two or three meter away from Qin Jie. Hence, Chen Feng and Wang Chun were not worried that he would abruptly make his move. However, none expected that the one who had made a move was actually Qin Jie¡¯s shadow!

    That ck shadow acted abruptly and pierced Qin Jie¡¯s chest with its ck hand.

    "Pu!"

    The pitch ck hand squashed Qin Jie¡¯s heart.

    "Hehehehe..."

    A gloomy and coldughter traveled over.

    "You..."

    Qin Jie¡¯s eyes widened unbelievably.

    He wanted to trigger the explosion of the gene reagent in his hands; however, the sneer of that shadow travelled to his ears, "Your spiritual energy has been blocked by me. What can you use to trigger the explosion?"

    "Bang."

    Qin Jie fell on the ground, indignant even in his death.

    He was dead.

    Chen Feng and Wang Chun stared at the shadow in front of them.

    "Hum¡ª"

    That shadow transformed into a youth with an evil aura on his face.

    "Tsk..."

    "The gic warriors nowadays are truly weak."

    The youth yed with the gene reagent in his hands and smiled faintly, "This is that so-called earthdragon gene reagent? Hehe, however good this gene reagent is, one needs to have a chance to actually use it right?"

    "Who are you?" Chen Feng asked with a deep sound.

    "Me? Just call me Shadow."

    The youth shrugged and looked at An Te as he smiled, "An Te, after not meeting for quite a while, you are now trashy to such an extent?"

    "It has nothing to do with you."

    An Te nced at him coldly before looking at Wang Chun and Chen Feng. "Now, you can both die."

    No nonsense was spoken. Only an endless amount of coldness and detachment could be felt.

    Since the one with the highest vignce, Qin Jie, was dead, and furthermore, this idiotic Chen Feng had even handed over his strongest trump card, he could easily deal with these remaining two.

    "Bang!"

    Chen Feng abruptly tossed out a bottle of mutated thundersnake gene reagent.

    However, An Te dodged it easily.

    The reason this mutated thundersnake gene reagent was worth 1 million was due to its usage requirements being so low. F ss was sufficient to use it. In a circle where everyone was at F ss with the asional E ss, a thundersnake gene with the power of peak E ss was simply akin to a weapon of mass destruction.

    However, facing An Te?

    It was simply useless.

    "Die!"

    An Te charged forth.

    A cold glint flickered in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes. As he was about to unleash his new ability, suddenly, a terrifying silhouette rushed forth from behind him.

    "Bang!"

    An explosion of bright light.

    The ground crumbled as well.

    A silhouette had blocked An Te¡¯s attack with brute force.

    "Who?"

    An Te suddenly looked over.

    The smoke and dust settled.

    Before Chen Feng appeared a tall youngdy in a miniskirt that was perfectly showing off her beautiful spotless white legs.

    In her hands was a broken saber with me burning on it.

    "Master of the ming Crystal Pce: Shen Wei!" the youngdy answered coldly.

    "Whoosh!"

    The broken saber was pointed toward An Te.

    "Was it you who killed my younger sister?"

    The youngdy looked at An Te coldly, radiating killing intent.

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "ming Crystal Pce?"

    An Te was totally confused.

    Why had he never heard of this organization? And what was with this awkward name? Were they joking? However, from his opponent¡¯s serious expression, they did not seem to be faking it.

    Shen Wei...

    Shen Yi¡¯s elder sister?

    An Te frowned. Seems like things are getting troublesome.

    "Deal with him," Wang Chun said indifferently.

    "Bang!"

    Shen Wei immediately unleashed her power.

    A single sh of hers tore the ground apart.

    A terrifying crack started extending along the ground.

    "Peak E ss!"

    An Te¡¯s expression changed greatly as he put his all into avoiding this ability.

    "Damn it."

    His forehead was full of sweat. This youngdy called Shen Wei actually possessed such powerfulbat power. That extreme attack power was something he couldn¡¯t defend against at all.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    Step by step, An Te was pushed back.

    Continuous sh!

    With the broken saber in her hands together with endless killing intent, each of Shen Wei¡¯s attacks was fatal. An Te¡¯s nerves were stretched to the limit, afraid that he would be killed in a single sh by Shen Wei the moment he got careless.

    "Shadow, until when do you n to continue watching the show?" An Te cursed.

    "Aiyaya, are you talking to me?" Shadow started digging in his ear. "Earlier, you said that I can only do one single thing and am not supposed to get involved in anything else. See, I am behaving myself over here."

    "I will give you 30%," An Te said hatefully.

    Shadow spread his hands. "50%."

    "Impossible." A cold glint flickered in An Te¡¯s eyes. "I have been working hard for so many days. You want me to work for free? You are only here to make up the numbers. 40%. ept it or so be it."

    "All right."

    Beaming, Shadow epted.

    He knew that if he were to continue dragging this forth, he might get more. However, 40% was sufficient. An Te was the one who had nned all of this and worked hard until now. He only needed to participate in a singlebat to get a share of 40%. That was simply too profitable.

    "Bang!"

    With a sh of the broken saber, Shen Wei had pushed An Te back once again. However, she had still failed to kill him.

    "Go," Wang Chun said decisively. "We can¡¯t defeat them both. There might still be a chance for us if we let Shen Wei take us and escape here."

    He could clearly see that this Shadow person was very strong. It would probably be too hard for Shen Yi alone to contend with both of them.

    "There¡¯s no need for that." Chen Feng suddenly smiled as he said, "You can just deal with An Te. This guy, leave him to me."

    "?"

    Wang Chun widened his eyes.

    He knew that Chen Feng had increased his strength. However, he was someone who had only recently fused with his E-ss gene, while his opponent was someone at the peak of E ss. Furthermore, he was only a producer!

    "Brother, don¡¯t y around." Wang Chun pulled Chen Feng. "Now is not the time to let emotions affect one¡¯s decisions."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Did he look like someone so stupid?

    At this moment, a dark shadow flickered into existence and started descending upon them with an intense killing intent.

    "An Te, hold on first," Shadow said calmly. "I will kill these two kids first to avoid anything unexpected happening."

    "All right." An Te clenched his teeth. "You better be fast."

    "Don¡¯t worry." Shadow sneered. "Its only two beginner E-ss kids."

    "Hum¡ª"

    Shadow raised his hands.

    A pitch ck phantom appeared before Chen Feng. Shadow pointed at Chen Feng and the phantom turned into a ck sh before rushing toward Chen Feng. This was a full power attack from a peak E-ss warrior.

    "Die."

    Shadow was calm as water.

    However, at this very moment.

    "Bang!"

    A dazzling radiance.

    Twenty Wind des suddenly appeared around Chen Feng and surrounded him. Every single one of the ice-cold des was filled to the brim with dense killing intent.

    The twenty Wind des smashed toward the phantom, defeating it with mere quantity alone.

    "What cursed ability is this?"

    Shadow¡¯s heart jolted.

    Wind de? So many of them? I have never heard of such an ability!

    However, was this Chen Feng¡¯s trump card? If it was only this... Shadow waved his hands and thirty shadows that were exactly the same as him appeared.

    You can block one of them. How about 30 of them?

    I refuse to believe that you can block all of them!

    "Bang!"

    The shadows all charged at Chen Feng.

    One shadow after another, each filled with killing intent.

    However, outside of everyone¡¯s expectations, Chen Feng merely waved his hand at this.

    "Bang!"

    An endless amount of Wind des were instantly unleashed.

    Twenty...

    Forty...

    Sixty...

    Every single one of the shadows was flooded by Wind des.

    Shadow¡¯s mouth was wide open for a long time. What on earth is this?

    Wang Chun, to the side, also had a stupefied expression on his face. Is Chen Feng really a gene producer?

    "Very good."

    Shadow inhaled deeply.

    He knew that this man called Chen Feng before him was definitely qualified to be an opponent of his.

    "Then..."

    "Let us have a proper battle then."

    Shadow¡¯s gaze was cold.

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    One after another, phantoms appeared again. This time, however, Shadow did not get them to charge at Chen Feng individually. Instead, he got the phantoms to ovep together beforeunching the attack toward Chen Feng.

    Shadow attack!

    "Whoosh!"

    An extremely strong power instantly erupted.

    "Go."

    Chen Feng pointed at the air.

    Twenty Wind des bombarded the shadow attack. However, there was no effect. The ovep of several tens of phantoms had unleashed a horrifying power. Chen Feng could clearly see that even the afterimages left behind by these phantoms were emitting a shocking power.

    This attack was something the Wind des couldn¡¯t block.

    Indeed...

    Chen Feng did not find this surprising.

    This shadow attack was obviously not some basic attacks. Instead, this was some high-level battle techniqueprehended by his opponent. Normal Wind des would be useless against it, regardless of the amount.

    If that was the case...

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. After truly entering E ss, he¡¯d had a lot of improvements. His spiritual energy had an all-around improvement, the speed he released his Wind des had increased by onefold, and the amount of Wind des that could be created with one point of luck value had increased from ten to twenty. However, the true improvement he gained was actually Myriad Illusions!

    Myriad Illusions, activate!

    Chen Feng instinctively activated it. However, there was no reaction whatsoever from it.

    No reaction?

    How was this possible?!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. You can¡¯t be holding me down during a crucial moment. Is it because my pose was wrong?

    Chen Feng activated his luck value and tried once again, yet nothing happened this time as well.

    Something wasn¡¯t right.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted violently.

    Currenly, the shadow attack had reached him.

    Damn it.

    What was the problem?

    Chen Feng forced himself to calm down and re-examine this Myriad Illusions ability. Myriad Illusions was definitely something simr to Wind de, where he only needed to activate it to use it. This was the information he had previously gotten online. However, it seemed like his Myriad Illusions was a mutated version?

    Indeed, mutated!

    A vague idea formed in Chen Feng¡¯s head.

    A mutated Myriad Illusions was different from its ordinary version, as it needed to fuse with other gic abilities.

    Fuse...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes lit up.

    Wind de?

    As he thought of this.

    Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Feng activated Wind de and Myriad Illusions at the same time.

    "Bang!"

    An astonishing attack was unleashed in an instant.

    "Whoosh!"

    The first Wind de appeared.

    No, it couldn¡¯t even be called a Wind de anymore. Although it still contained the power of wind within, this Wind de¡¯s color had turned from blue to red. Furthermore, around it were dense mes!

    This was a burning Wind de.

    "Bang!"

    The burning Wind de collided with the shadow attack.

    A terrifying energy erupted at the instant of the collision. That iparably powerful shadow attack stopped instantly. It had been stopped forcefully by the power released by the burning Wind de.

    An extremely strong power!

    "2-star secret art?"

    Shadow contemted.

    Abination of wind and fire into a 2-star wind and fire secret art. Mhm... truly powerful indeed. Unfortunately, Chen Feng¡¯s level is still too low.

    Not sufficient to cause me any trouble.

    "Whoosh!"

    The shadow attack erupted in power once again.

    The appearance of the burning Wind de had merely caused it to pause momentarily. However, at this very moment, the second Wind de appeared.

    This time¡ª

    It was yellow in color.

    "Bang!"

    A yellow-colored Wind de was unleashed.

    The Wind de whistled forth while emitting a sandstorm from it. The originally blue Wind de had, for unknown reasons, be filled to the brim with a thick earth aura. The originally purely energy-type attack of Wind de had mysteriously be an unsophisticated physical attack that, along with the dense sand and soil in it, ferociously smashed upon the shadow attack.

    "Bang!"

    The Wind de instantly crumbled.

    However, the shadow attack was once again stopped here.

    This time, the shadow felt even more ufortable. The yellow-colored Wind de had erupted with a bizarre power, covering its whole body with sand and soil. The originally perfectly ovepped shadow felt incredibly ufortable now.

    "???"

    Shadow was somewhat stupefied. What ability was this?

    Another 2-star secret art?

    Wind and earth?

    This Chen Feng was only at E-ss, so he could only have fused with two genes. At the very most, he could only have a single 2-star secret art. What on earth was happening here?

    At this time, the third Wind de was unleashed.

    This time¡ª

    It was a deep blue color.

    "Whoosh!"

    A watery Wind de charged toward the shadow.

    "Pu!"

    The Wind de descended.

    A terrifying power blossomed from it, enveloping the shadow with a huge amount of water.

    The shadow attack...

    Was once again submerged.

    He had yet to clear off the sand and soil earlier and was now submerged in water instead. The super powerful shadow attack formed through ovepping a countless amount of phantoms was now a mud man.

    Moving...

    Became even harder.

    "Whoosh!"

    The fourth Wind de was unleashed.

    The color of this Wind de was even more bizarre. It was transparent!

    Pa ji.

    A bizarre sound resounded.

    The Wind de collided with the shadow attack. Instead of shattering, it instead turned into a transparent liquid that stuck onto the body of the shadow. The shadow attack¡¯s movement was now even more sluggish than before.

    That feeling...

    Was like some weird mucus.

    Shadow¡¯s expression looked extremely unsightly at this point. However, this was just the beginning.

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    Green-colored Wind de...

    ck-colored Wind de...

    Wind des with all sorts of colors were spammed onto the shadow. Now, Shadow was already thoroughly stupefied. It was not like he had not experienced any bitter battles before. He had experienced many battles where he was threading the line of death. However, he was sure that the current battle was the most disgusting battle he had gotten himself into.

    Too disgusting!

    Twenty attacks!

    Water and fire appeared three times respectively. The remaining fourteen times were all random and ridiculous attacks. The shadow attack that was initially a high speed attack was now stuck on the same spot.

    What f*cking ability was this?

    Shadow had a dazed expression on his face.

 Chapter 87: Blood Shadow

    Chapter 87: Blood Shadow

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the same time, the Chen Feng opposite him had an odd expression on his face as well.

    This...

    What could he say?

    Myriad Illusions, something that could only fuse with other abilities. This seemed like a bad thing, since this meant that the Myriad Illusions ability had lost its original function as a standalone ability. However, what amazed Chen Feng was that, after fusion, it could generate secret arts!

    What did this entail?

    Regardless of what gene it was, it would be able to be fused with Myriad Illusions!

    Regardless of what secret art it was, it would have a 1-star increase in its rating.

    Worthy of being the illusionary snake leader!

    Worthy of being a mutated gene!

    Chen Feng was overwhelmed with emotions.

    Too strong.

    This gene that he had improved and mutated couldn¡¯t be more suitable for him. His effort in painstakinglying all the way here was not in vain.

    And the biggest surprise for him was the truebat power of Myriad Illusions!

    For example¡ª

    When it was fused with Wind des.

    Every time a Wind de was used, one point of luck value was enough for him to continuously release Wind des for a full second. At his current level, he would be able to release twenty Wind des per second.

    As for Myriad Illusions?

    Chen Feng did not dare to try.

    Although Wind de and Myriad Illusions could be used in tandem with Luck Aura, the consumption of luck value would also increase as a result. Hence, Chen Feng would prioritize using Luck Aura on Wind des.

    The result of this test of his was extremely astonishing.

    Furthermore, there was no need for the probability of Myriad Illusions to be triggered when he was using this method.

    Mere regr activation of Myriad Illusions and Wind des were already sufficient to unleash an astonishing power. The session of Wind des he released that caused Shadow to be vomiting blood in anger had only used up one luck value.

    "This is too perfect..."

    Chen Feng hadn¡¯t had enough with this.

    Too powerful!

    At this time.

    "Bang!"

    A loud sound.

    The rocky grounds around them started trembling.

    Everyone instinctively looked toward the source of the loud sound and saw that An Te, who had still been showing off his prowess a moment ago, was currently in ragged clothing, cutting an extremely sorry figure as he looked at Shen Wei. In front of him was a 1 meter deep gorge.

    Too terrifying.

    An Te was horrified. "Shadow, are you f*cking done yet?"

    "Soon," Shadow said impatiently.

    Troublesome!

    He had to finish this as soon as possible!

    Shadow¡¯s heart palpitated. Shen Wei¡¯s prowess was giving him an ominous feeling. He suddenly realized that his choice ofing here with An Te this time was quite a bad choice.

    However¡ª

    Since he was already here, he was unwilling to leave just like that.

    Shadow waved his hand. "Scatter."

    That shadow attack that was beaten into submission by Chen Feng dissolved instantly.

    "You are very strong," Shadow said, word by word. "However, it¡¯s about time this ends."

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying power started blossoming around Shadow, and it was at this moment that something astonishing happened.

    Below Chen Feng¡¯s foot, the shadow that had always been with him had suddenly moved. Chen Feng, who was already prepared for everything, retreated instantly. However, beyond his expectations, the shadow did not attack him. Instead, it rapidly separated itself from Chen Feng and moved to Shadow.

    The same thing happened to Wang Chun, An Te, Shen Wei... every single shadow that one could see gathered beside Shadow.

    "Fuse!"

    Shadow¡¯s expression was solemn.

    "Pu!"

    He spat out a mouthful of blood.

    All shadows, including his own shadow, fused at this very moment.

    "Hum¡ª"

    The power of blood blossomed.

    Five shadows instantly transformed into a blood shadow.

    "I originally didn¡¯t want to use this skill."

    Shadow¡¯s voice became hoarse and his entire body shriveled. After going through the transformation, the blood shadow before him had turned into a blood-colored person that looked like him.

    In the shadow¡¯s hand was even a broken saber.

    Whoosh.

    The blood shadow took a step forth as a terrifying power bubbled around him.

    Chen Feng stirred.

    This power...

    "Go."

    Shadow pointed at Chen Feng and sneered. "It has fused with the power of every single one of you here. It is much more powerful than everyone here. The fused body it has is the body of a true expert."

    "Now, be devoured by my blood shadow..."

    "Bang!"

    The blood shadow unleashed its power. At the same time, the broken saber within his hands was emitting a terrifying power as well.

    Fusing?

    Everyone¡¯s power?

    "Damn it."

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed slightly.

    Such a heaven-defying ability exists?

    No.

    As he looked at the paleplexion of Shadow, Chen Feng knew that the energy exhaustion for the activation of this ability was huge. The stronger the blood shadow was, the more Shadow needed to exhaust. Furthermore, he was sure that Shadow would only be able to persevere for a few seconds at most. However, regretfully, a normal opponent would not be able to survive for more than a few seconds against this ability either.

    What joke was this?

    The blood shadow was something that had fused with everyone¡¯s power, including Chen Feng¡¯s!

    "What¡¯s happening exactly?"

    Chen Feng stirred.

    He was too clear on how powerful the Myriad Illusionary Wind debination of both his skills was!

    However, at this moment, Chen Feng suddenly had a weird expression on his face.

    Wind de...

    He suddenly remembered that at its core, only a single Wind de would be released each time.

    Myriad Illusions was something that would grow in strength in tandem with Wind de. The more powerful the Wind de was, the more powerful the Myriad Illusions would be. Only when the amount of Wind de was sufficiently high would Myriad Illusions be able to disy its true power.

    All of that was something that the blood shadow couldn¡¯t aplish, as it did not have luck value!

    If that was the case...

    Chen Feng suddenlyughed.

    "Bang!"

    Myriad Illusionary Wind de was once again released from his hand as multi-colored Wind des started flooding the blood shadow and totally enveloping it, unleashing an astonishing power in the process.

    "You think only you knows how to do this?"

    Shadow¡¯s voice was hoarse as he ordered the blood shadow to activate the same ability.

    "Whoosh."

    A chilling blue-colored Wind de shot out.

    ??

    Shadow was totally confused.

    That was it?

    Howe that was all?

    "Again!"

    Once again, he activated the Wind de ability.

    "Whoosh!"

    A fiery Wind de shot out.

    ??

    Shadow was somewhat stupefied. Once again, that was it?

    Chen Feng was able to unleash twenty Wind des per second. As for him? One per second! This kind of speed, they were totally not in the same league.

    "Damn it. Is it due to him being more well-practiced at this ability?"

    Shadow¡¯s expression was unsightly.

    Blood shadow was not an omnipotent existence.

    Despite it being able to possess the abilities of everyone here, bing extremely powerful, it was only able to gain the opponent¡¯s abilities, not their skills and experiences with those abilities.

    D-ss!

    When I reached D-ss, I have to fuse with an ability capable of absorbing my opponent¡¯s skills , Shadow vowed inwardly.

    He believed that blood shadow would truly be undefeated at that time. Now, the blood shadow that was merely a 3-star secret art was way too weak.

    Pa Ji!

    One again, this familiar sound resounded.

    Shadow¡¯s expression suddenly became unsightly.

    He raised his head.

    Indeed, without realizing, under the endless bizarre Wind des, the blood shadow that possessed terrifyingbat power was stuck just like the previous shadow.

    On its body was water, earth, and mucus.

    F*ck this shit!

    Shadow couldn¡¯t help but curse.

    "Bang!"

    The blood shadow started emitting a terrifying power around it.

    That force of power shook unceasingly.

    Possessing all the abilities of An Te and Shen Wei, it was much more powerful! However, now, it was stuck at the same spot, unable to move a step forward.

    Truly sorrowful.

    "Damn it."

    Shadow clenched both his fists.

    He knew that as long as he could use an even stronger power to shake all the mucus, water, and earth off the blood shadow¡¯s body, it would be sufficient. However, what caused him to feel depressed was the fact that the blood shadow itself was not a physical body in the first ce.

    If he were to shake off the mucus, water, and earth like that, the blood shadow would dissipate as well.

    This... he couldn¡¯t even fight against this.

    This Chen Feng that appeared to be a mere initial E-ss warrior, this junior producer, was totally a terrifying guy!

    "Ah¡ª"

    A sorrowful cry.

    Shadow looked toward the cry and saw that under Shen Wei¡¯s attack, An Te was running away, cutting a sorry figure.

    "Shadow, be faster!" An Te bellowed.

    He was engaged in a battle with Shen Wei and couldn¡¯t even take care of himself. Hence, he couldn¡¯t split his attention to view other battles. As such, he did not understand the reason that Shadow had yet to deal with Wang Chun and Chen Feng.

    "I will give you 50%. That should do it, right?" An Te was anxious. "Come faster!"

    50%...

    Shadow smiled bitterly. Could that 50% deal with this problem he was facing?

    He looked at the blood shadow that was sluggishly raising its broken saber like a crippled person in front of Chen Feng. Then, he looked at the An Te that was being chased by Shen Wei. Shadow inhaled deeply.

    "Chen Feng, you forced me."

    Shadow waved his hand and dispersed the blood shadow.

    Chen Feng was solemn.

    "He still has another trump card?"

    He had even used his 2-star secret art, trump card...

    Could it be a virus?

    Chen Feng concentrated his gaze.

    "Hum¡ª"

    The indistinct shadows around Shadow started flickering.

    The Wind de in Chen Feng¡¯s hands were trigger ready. And then Shadow was engulfed by darkness and subsequently disappeared without a trace.

    "The f*ck?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s mouth twitched.

    This guy...

    Escaped?

    Chapter 88: I Won¡¯t Fight Him

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Shadow fleeing caused Chen Feng to not know whether tough or cry.

    He never expected that this peak E-ss gic warrior would decisively flee when he saw that the battle was not looking favorable for him, directly abandoning An Te here.

    This...

    An Te opened his eyes wide and shouted miserably, "Shadow!"

    He never expected that Shadow would actually abandon him and flee.

    "I saved your life before!" An Te bellowed.

    However¡ª

    There was no response whatsoever.

    "Didn¡¯t you have an extremely good rtionship with Qin Jie and your squad members as well?" Chen Feng sneered. "If it was Qin Jie and the rest, at least they wouldn¡¯t abandon their teammates no matter what, even if they had some conflict with you."

    "This is the choice you made yourself," Chen Feng said coldly.

    "Why..."

    An Te was dazed.

    "Bang!"

    The descent of Shen Wei¡¯s attack had cut off any remaining hopes An Te had.

    Different from a gic warrior¡¯s ability, Shen Wei did not have any ability at all. All her attacks were extremely rough and simple. To sh, and sh, and sh without end.

    An Te, who was at the peak of E-ss, was simply shed to death by Shen Wei.

    From this, Shen Wei¡¯s prowess was quite apparent.

    "Even death is not enough to pay for your sins!"

    Shen Wei arrogantly sheathed her broken saber, kicking off a small storm with her saber aura as she did this.

    Due to this, the skirt she was wearing, which was already extremely short, rose slightly, appearing even shorter.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Suddenly, he was somewhat envious of Wang Chun.

    However, student Wang Chun had yet to recover from his shock.

    Chen Feng and Shadow¡¯s battle ended just like that?

    The f*ck, are you kidding me?

    Shadow was extremely powerful. He was even slightly more powerful than An Te. Even with that, Chen Feng was still able to beat him until he ran within minutes. Instead, it was Shen Wei who had spent a longer time in battle.

    Chen Feng was actually this strong?

    Wang Chun was shocked.

    He was too clear on how strong Shen Wei was.

    Peak E-ss!

    Genuinely at the peak!

    One could say that there were very few people in E-ss capable of defeating Shen Wei. However, Chen Feng, who had just stepped into E-ss, seemed to have reached this stage. This...

    He had really looked down upon this genius?

    Wang Chun smiled bitterly.

    He did not give up on the gene prepared to him by the Wang Family and picked this gene merely because he was a nerd. It was also due to the strength of the female characters in The Crystal Pce.

    To be honest, deep inside, he was somewhat arrogant.

    Now, however...

    All his arrogance crumbled before Chen Feng.

    What was more vexing was the fact that Chen Feng was also a formidable gene producer. Having a profession that would require all of one¡¯s energy yet still possessing such formidablebat power.

    Or perhaps this was due to Chen Feng¡¯s gic ability coincidentally being the ability that had a suppressive effect against that shadow¡¯s ability?

    That was what Wang Chun thought.

    "Shen Wei." Wang Chun looked at the youngdy. "If you were to battle Chen Feng, how confident are you of obtaining a victory?"

    "I won¡¯t fight him," Shen Wei said coldly.

    Wang Chun couldn¡¯t understand. "Why?"

    Shen Wei red at him. "Too gross."

    Wang Chun: "..."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Can¡¯t they stop using this term?!

    Chen Feng did not know whether tough or cry.

    Who would have guessed that all these Wind des being unleashed together would cause such circumstances to appear? Even the illusionary snake leader probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to guess that this would happen.

    Chen Feng could only spread his hand as a response.

    At this instant.

    "Yi?"

    A pleasantly surprised expression appeared on Wang Chun¡¯s face.

    "Hum¡ª"

    In his hand, the semi-illusionaryic hovered midair.

    It flickered with a colorful glow.

    "Whoosh!"

    A slim silhouette turned into light particles and shot out of the book, transforming back into her physical body while she was in midair andnded in Shen Wei¡¯s embrace.

    "Sister!"

    Shen Yi hugged Shen Wei.

    A smiling expression appeared on Shen Wei¡¯s face. "You recovered."

    "Hehe."

    "Of course."

    Shen Yi was excited. "Sister, you are finally out here. I have missed you to death."

    "If this rubbish master of ours was somewhat stronger, all our sisters would have been out a long time ago," Shen Wei said coldly.

    "Sisteeer!" Shen Yi purred.

    Wang Chun smiled bitterly. Could he be med for this?

    "Brother, fortune and misfortune are truly interdependent of each other[1]."

    Chen Feng patted Wang Chun¡¯s shoulder, taking joy in his plight.

    The battle was over.

    Chen Feng looked around him. The whole cave had crumbled down, sandstorms were everywhere, the ground was in a mess with piles of crushed rocks everywhere, and a single shattered empty egg shelly there...

    Wait.

    Chen Feng suddenly thought of something. Empty egg shells?

    Chen Feng went over to take a look. Wasn¡¯t this the snake egg used by Shen Yi to lure the huge snake here? He remembered that this egg was iparably hard and couldn¡¯t be broken no matter what.

    Shen Yi noticed this as well. "Sigh, why is this thing broken?"

    Shen Wei picked up a piece of the egg shell and shed at it with her broken saber. That piece of egg shell was undamaged after being shed. "This thing is extremely hard. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not an ordinary illusionary snake."

    "Judging from the way it cracked, this seemed to be something that happened naturally."

    Everyone¡¯s expressions changed greatly.

    Naturally cracking?

    In other words, within this egg might be an even more powerful illusionary snake, despite it just being a newborn?

    "We need to leave immediately," Wang Chun said decisively.

    How strong was Shen Wei? Yet she was unable to even break the fragment of the egg shell?

    This unknown snake egg might have mutated and might be even more powerful! In other words, at the moment of its birth, it was already the king of this area.

    "Leave quickly." Wang Chun felt his lips go dry. "If it¡¯s really the birth of a snake king, this ce will be surrounded by all the illusionary snakes here. We will die regardless of how strong we are."

    "Go."

    Chen Feng instantly wised up as well.

    How many illusionary snakes were there in the Deste Rocky Grounds?

    Nobody knew!

    The reason they barely encountered any illusionary snakes was because the snakes couldn¡¯t be bothered to show themselves. If all the snakes were toe out, they would not be able to leave here alive at all.

    They left quickly.

    Naturally, before leaving, Chen Feng did not forget to pick up all the egg shells.

    They were all treasures!

    The area was still engulfed by sandstorms as usual.

    Despite the fact that the sky-covering sandstorms were even denserpared to when they came, without having to worry about getting assassinated, their speed was faster than before instead.

    However, oddly, they did not meet a single illusionary snake on their way.

    Not even one!

    All the illusionary snakes of the Deste Rocky Grounds seemed to have disappeared. Chen Feng and the rest were able to travel smoothly, leaving the cave and reaching the entrance of the Deste Rocky Grounds without meeting a single snake.

    "It seems like I guessed correctly," Wang Chun said in a low voice. "All the illusionary snakes went to that cave. If we hadn¡¯t escaped quickly, we would have probably gotten ourselves surrounded."

    "Mhm."

    Chen Feng nodded slightly and looked behind him.

    Snake king, eh?

    Or is it one of those who went through an extremely powerful mutation?

    With the appearance of this thing here, it seems like the Deste Rocky Grounds will undergo a great change hereafter.

    "Let¡¯s go," Chen Feng said.

    They left quickly.

    Despite leaving the Deste Rocky Grounds, they still had to maintain their vignce. Only after they reached the end of this 5 km journey and reached the Gic Union¡¯s camp would they be truly safe.

    However, when they had only traveled half the distance...

    "Wait."

    Shen Yi abruptly stopped everyone and cautiously looked in front of them. "There¡¯s someone there."

    "What?"

    Everyone¡¯s heart jolted.

    "Hu!"

    The broken saber in Shen Wei¡¯s hand ignited.

    Not far away, a thin silhouette walked out from behind a rock.

    "Interesting, I was actually discovered?"

    A familiar voice traveled to them. That person raised his head and showed a face full of scars. "Long time no see, my dear adorable students."

    "Xie Kangzhong!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils constricted.

    That¡¯s right.

    Xie Kangzhong!

    Chen Feng had never expected the person to suddenly appear here would actually be the teacher in charge of the high school ss he was in. The very Xie Kangzhong that had abandoned all his students and escaped during the Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain incident.

    He was actually alive!

    Footnotes:

    1. A Chinese term that basically means that a good thing might lead to bad thing, while a bad thing might lead to a good thing. In the current context in this chapter, Chen Feng is talking about how lucky Wang Chun is to have all this beautifulic book girls at his side, yet at the same time, it¡¯s quite unlucky that Shen Wei is this cold.

    Chapter 89: Comfortable

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Wang family, Gold City.

    Countless people were in a solemn silence.

    The elders of the Wang family were all waiting there. At the center of them all was Wang Yue, who was kneeling with a respectful expression on his face. Before him was an old man with a faint smile on his face.

    "Not bad." The old man nodded slightly. "Quite a good innate talent with eptable genes. You are qualified to ept my teachings."

    As he said that, he raised his forefinger and tapped Wang Yue¡¯s forehead with it.

    "Condense!"

    As that fingernded on Wang Yue¡¯s forehead, it started glowing.

    "Hum¡ª"

    On Wang Yue¡¯s head, between his eyebrows, a dot of light glowed abruptly. Akin to a white plum blossom, the glow started rotating unceasingly, radiating a terrifying power.

    "Bang!"

    The seemingly endless radiance cracked.

    Wang Yue felt like his spirit had been brightly lit up, while his mind felt unprecedentedly clear. A gush of formidable power was working within his body, constantly unlocking his hidden potential.

    His spiritual energy grew at a crazy pace.

    After a long time, when the radiance finally shrunk back into a tiny white dot and their surroundings returned to normal, Wang Yue opened his eyes. Within his eyes, an additional grandeur that wasn¡¯t there before could now be seen.

    "Many thanks, senior."

    Wang Yue was grateful.

    Wang Yue had spent arge amount of resources in order to invite this great master here in order to give him a stronger potential and a better future. From the moment he fused with that gene, he seemed to have soared up to the skies with a single leap.

    In the not-too-distant future of the current era, Wang Yue would definitely upy an important position.

    "Senior, please."

    The elders of Wang family invited the great master to get seated and started their discussion on proper business. On the other hand, Wang Yue followed his father into a room to talk.

    "You are still having someone monitor Wang Chun?"

    Wang Tianhao¡¯s expression was solemn.

    "Mhm."

    Wang Yue nodded his head. "He was the Wang family¡¯s previous choice. As long as he remains alive, they will not give me their heart and soul. They might still have a sliver of hope remaining that, if I were to be crippled in the future, they might still be able to continue supporting Wang Chun."

    "Hehe, only when he dies will those old fools of the Wang family give up on that hope."

    "Only then will they know that their only choice is me. I am the only one capable of leading the Wang family out of Gold City and growing it to a new height," Wang Yue said coldly.

    "Do less of such things in the future."

    Wang Tianhao red at him. "With your potential and future, you should be seeing the bigger picture. Someone from a ce like Gold City is no longer qualified to have your attention. What you should do now is to concentrate on improving yourself and bing stronger. To challenge the true experts of this world!"

    "A human needs to look upward. Don¡¯t keep paying attention to those who are destined to be stepped on below your feet. As for Wang Chun and Chen Feng..."

    Wang Tianhao sneered. "Just leave them to me."

    He was aware that this son of his was good in every aspect. His only weakness was being too narrow-minded. If Wang Chun was not dealt with, he would not be able to rest or eat in peace. There was also that Chen Feng...

    "Reach D ss as soon as possible, understand?" Wang Tianhao said strictly.

    Wang Yue nodded. "Understood."

    He believed that his father would be able to perfectly handle this thing for him.

    Chen Feng...

    Hehe, he had originally nned to personally defeat Chen Feng. Unfortunately, from the moment he fused with that gene, he knew that Chen Feng was no longer qualified to be his opponent.

    He, Wang Yue, was destined to soar up to the skies with a single leap!

    After sneering, Wang Yue walked toward the training room.

    The Wang family had prepared everything for him in advance. Everything else was unrted to him. The only thing he needed to do was to transform the potential he had into actual strength, bing a true expert!

    "D ss, here Ie."

    Wang Yue was filled with expectations.

    Currently, at the Deste Rocky Grounds, Chen Feng and his group were cautiously looking at the Xie Kangzhong that had suddenly appeared. This guy who escaped previously had actually appeared now...

    "What are you here for?" Chen Feng said coldly.

    "To kill someone," Xie Kangzhong said calmly.

    Wang Chun sneered. "The Wang family sent you here?"

    "I am now a wanted person. They gave me a very good job."

    Xie Kangzhong had a malevolent expression on his face as he rubbed the scars on his face. "Hehe, it was truly hard to escape from Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain. However, I survived!"

    "Both of you need to die!"

    Xie Kangzhong was filled with killing intent.

    Both of them had to die?

    Wang Chun and Chen Feng instinctively looked at each other. Wang family indeed!

    "Your family is so messy?"

    Chen Feng looked at Wang Chun.

    "One just needs to get used to it."

    Wang Chun felt somewhat helpless as well.

    All those positions, such as director of argepany, chairman of arge organization, heir of arge family... as long as it was a position with power, there would be a lot of people fighting over it. This was the cruel reality.

    "Xie Kangzhong, D-ss gic warrior," Chen Feng said in a low voice. "One of his gic abilities is Fiery Dragon. The remaining two abilities are unknown."

    "D ss, eh..."

    Wang Chun was somewhat anxious.

    "Bang!"

    A fireball lit up.

    In Xie Kangzhong¡¯s hand was a fireball that was ready for action after fully condensing. As he brandished his fingers, it turned into a huge fiery dragon that streaked toward them.

    "sh!"

    Shen Wei made her move.

    The broken saber in her hands shed downward.

    "Bang!"

    shed into two pieces with a single sh.

    The fiery dragon was cut in two by Shen Wei. However, after passing through Shen Wei, the me converged midair and turned back into its original appearance, unaffected by Shen Wei¡¯s sh at all!

    This was a me possessing the power of a D-ss warrior.

    "Be careful."

    Wang Chun¡¯s expression changed slightly.

    "me, eh?"

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

    "Bang!"

    A train of multi-colored Wind des were unleashed and smashed into the me. What followed was an explosion of light as all sorts of energy erupted and dispersed the Fiery Dragon forcefully.

    "Hu¡ª"

    The burning hot wind brushed past the both of them.

    Too dangerous!

    Wang Chun wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead. D ss was indeed different.

    "It has actually been blocked?"

    Xie Kangzhong was very surprised.

    He was very clear on Chen Feng¡¯s strength. Even if he was E ss now, he was still someone who was recently promoted. He never expected Chen Feng to be capable of blocking his attack.

    "Did I judge wrongly in the past?"

    Xie Kangzhong was astonished.

    At this instant.

    "Shen Wei!" Wang Chun screamed. "Freely attack!"

    "All right."

    Shen Wei acted decisively.

    Xie Kangzhong was too strong. They definitely couldn¡¯t give him too many opportunities to attack.

    Chen Feng instantly erupted. Myriad Illusionary Wind des!

    "Bang!"

    A session of Wind des were let forth instantly. Chen Feng used the same method when he dealt with the blood shadow previously¡ªto use the superior quantity of Wind des and to force Xie Kangzhong to remain on the same spot!

    Twenty!

    Forty!

    Every single burst of his Wind des was more violent than the previous. Water, earth, mucus, all of them erupted forth.

    Pa Ji!

    Xie Kangzhong¡¯s body became sluggish.

    "Unlimited sh!"

    The me on Shen Wei¡¯s broken saber burned furiously.

    Whoosh!

    From the broken saber, a chain of fiery shes descended,yering onto each other before erupting at the same instance and, filled with endless killing intent, attacking toward Xie Kangzhong.

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying explosion of me.

    Almost all of Shen Wei¡¯s unlimited shesnded on Xie Kangzhong.

    Was he hit?

    Chen Feng couldn¡¯t resist and looked toward the collision point.

    The me gradually disappeared.

    When Chen Feng saw the situation there, he inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    Xie Kangzhong was safe and sound.

    Not only that, on his body was a yellow-colored scale armor that had automatically obstructed all of Chen Feng¡¯s attack. Even Shen Wei¡¯s attacks were blocked.

    "Stone Scale?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted furiously.

    It was actually this ability!

    Stone Scale: A type of defensive ability that worked by petrifying one¡¯s own body. It was extremely formidable. When used by a person with Xie Kangzhong¡¯s current strength, any attack below D ss was useless against it!

    In other words¡ª

    Regardless of how many people you got, regardless of how many attacks you unleashed, as long as your attacks did not reach D ss, it would all be pointless. In simpler terms, it was an unbreakable defense! This kind of ability wasn¡¯t particrly powerful, as it was extremely weak against an opponent of the same ss. However, when facing an opponent that was from a lower ss, it was simply an existence akin to a bug!

    "Comfortable!"

    Xie Kangzhong said with a voice that almost sounded like a moan.

    "Hu¡ª"

    All the fire around him started hovering. All the fire released by Shen Wei was actually being absorbed by him into his body to replenish his energy!

    "This is..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed slightly.

    "me Absorption! He actually fused with this kind of gene!"

    Wang Chun had an unsightly expression on his face.

    Due to the poprity of fire-type genes, fire-type defensive genes were also extremely popr.

    me Absorption was one such gene.

    It was a type of defensive gic ability. Its only function was to absorb fire!

    Despite it only being able to absorb part of the me and unable to fully absorb all mes or grant immunity to mes, however, all fire-type gic abilities would be greatly weakened before this gic ability!

    However...

    Chen Feng suddenly looked at Xie Kangzhong¡¯s face.

    No wonder a D-ss gic warrior like him was so miserable at Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain. The power contained within the seadragon blood essence was seawater, something with a natural repressive effect on his abiliy.

    First, fire-type gene, Fiery Dragon!

    Second, general gene, Stone Scale!

    Third, defensive gene, Fire Absorption.

    Naturally, such a gene setup was something that would only be picked by an ordinary gic warrior without many resources, who could only make his choice after reaching each stage. Unfortunately, his ability was the perfect ability to suppress Wang Chun¡¯s ability!

    Chen Feng looked at the burning me on Shen Wei¡¯s broken saber.

    This time, it was getting troublesome.

 Chapter 90: 3-Star Secret Art

    Chapter 90: 3-Star Secret Art

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Bang!"

    Once again, Shen Wei¡¯s sh descended.

    Afortable expression appeared on Xie Kangzhong¡¯s face.

    No effect!

    Every single one of Shen Wei¡¯s attacks had no effect on him!

    "Only this much?" Xie Kangzhong had a malevolent expression on his face. "Then you all can go and die now."

    "Hmph!" Shen Wei sneered. "My attack might have no effect on you. However, your Fiery Dragon might not necessarily have much effect either."

    XIe Kangzhong sneered. "Is that so?"

    "Hum¡ª"

    Yellow stones started covering his right hand.

    "Hu!"

    He started emitting me.

    When the stones on him were ignited, an astonishing thing happened. Every single piece of the stone started turning a bright red color at a scary speed. The red hot me started boiling, while on Xie Kangzhong¡¯s right hand, the stones separated from him, turning into lumps of boilingva that rolled around.

    The air around him became hot and warped.

    "Bang"

    Xie Kangzhong punched.

    Theva burst forth, heading toward Shen Wei.

    "sh!"

    Once again, Shen Wei unleashed her power. Her broken saber collided with theva at midair.

    "Bang!"

    With a single sh, theva crumbled.

    "Bang!"

    Despite defending with her saber, Shen Wei was still flung away. She retreated for several tens of steps and spat out a mouthful of blood before she finally stabilized herself. The hand that was holding the broken saber was trembling.

    Due to the limitations of Wang Chun¡¯s current strength, the power she could currently disy was too little!

    A D-ss warrior was simply too powerful. With her strength at peak E ss, it was already the limit for her to be able to block a 2-star secret art.

    Xie Kangzhong looked at Chen Feng. "The next will be you."

    "Bang!"

    2-star secret art¡ªLava was once again unleashed.

    The boilingva that was a fusion product of me and stone, the boilingva boulder, pierced the air as it shot forth toward Chen Feng, akin to a meteorite on doomsday.

    "Ci¡ª"

    "Ci¡ª"

    A whining sound could be heard as it shot forth.

    Theva boulder this time was evenrger than the previous attack.

    "Die," Xie Kangzhong said softly.

    "Bang!"

    Theva boulder abruptly sped up. This 2-star secret art that was formed with D-ss power burst forth once again. Chen Feng looked at it silently.

    "Hu¡ª"

    He inhaled deeply.

    Indeed, it hade to this.

    Xie Kangzhong was much stronger than Shadow. Normal obstruction methods were totally unable to slow him down. Thisva boulder was also a thoroughly pure attack.

    If one wanted to defeat him, one could only face him with brute force!

    If that¡¯s the case¡ª

    Come!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were sharp.

    He wanted to take a good look at how strong he really was now. He also wanted to take a good look at what kind of power could be disyed when the power of Myriad Illusions was fully unleashed.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Chen Feng raised his hand.

    Luck Aura, activate!

    Myriad Illusionary Wind de was once again unleashed.

    However, this time, there was not only unlimited Wind des. This was the first time that Chen Feng had used the Luck Aura on Myriad Illusions. This time, he decided to use Luck Aura on both Myriad Illusions and Wind des at the same time!

    Whoosh!

    His luck value started declining rapidly.

    One point...

    Two points...

    Three points...

    At the same time, Chen Feng felt a gush of intriguing power start flowing around in his body. At this instant, the unlimited Wind des in his hands started radiating with an astonishing power!

    Was this really all right?

    Chen Feng was not sure.

    Xie Kangzhong was too strong. At least for Chen Feng, he was too strong.

    D ss signified that his lowest attack would be at 1,000 units. The attack power of his 2-star secret art was definitely higher. As for Chen Feng? He only had 200 points of spiritual energy. He did not have anything to increase the attack power of his Wind des either. A normal Wind de only had 200 units of attack power! The only thing he could count on now was Myriad Illusions.

    How powerful would Myriad Illusions be after getting fully supported by Luck Aura?

    He did not know.

    "Whoosh!"

    An azure-colored Wind de instantly shot out.

    It was a clump of blue-colored mist. No, to be more urate, it was a clump of bizarre icy mist. With an astonishing chillness, it charged toward theva boulder.

    "Ci¡ª"

    A bizarre noise resounded.

    A portion of the me on theva boulder actually disappeared.

    "Whoosh!"

    "Whoosh!"

    One after another, Wind des shot forth.

    Seven or eight icy mists enveloped theva boulder. One after another, Wind des smashed onto theva boulder, extinguishing the me on it and turning it into an ice cube.

    That¡¯s right.

    Thatva boulder that was still boiling a short while ago had now turned into a chunk of ice.

    "Whoosh!"

    Another Wind de shot forth and smashed this chunk of ice apart.

    Bang!

    The frozenva boulder was smashed apart and blossomed into countless ck powder midair.

    Lava boulder, exterminated!

    "How is that possible?"

    Xie Kangzhong widened his eyes.

    This was ava boulder with D-ss power. How was it possible for it to be destroyed by a beginner E-ss warrior like Chen Feng?

    However, he did not have time to be shocked, as the remaining ten icy mists swept toward him. His expression changed immediately. At this point, it was already toote to form anotherva boulder. Hence, he started shooting a series of Fiery Dragons out of his hand.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    One after another, loud sounds of explosion.

    The collusion of the Fiery Dragons and icy mists gave rise to an endless white mist that drifted around in midair, making the area appear like a scene out of paradise.

    Wang Chun had a dazed expression on his face.

    Ice?

    What freaking ability was it this time?

    However, as he looked at the shiny me and icy mist, he suddenly felt likeughing, as the scene before him was akin to a fire-breathing dragon fighting it out with arge fire extinguisher.

    Was there anything funnier than this?

    "Ci!"

    "Ci!"

    The white mist finally disappeared.

    Chen Feng¡¯s icy-mist Wind des stopped at this moment as well.

    After calcting, he found that he would use around 5 points of luck value per second. The unlimited Wind des would only exhaust 1 point out of the 5, with the remaining being all exhausted by Myriad Illusions.

    "Suppressive effect on his ability."

    Chen Feng was in ecstasy.

    What was the crux of theva boulder?

    Its high temperature!

    When its temperature decreased, its power would decrease greatly. This was also the reason why Chen Feng¡¯s final Wind de was able to smash it apart.

    Under the effect of Luck Aura...

    Regardless of what ability his opponent had, Myriad Illusions would be able to pick the suitable genes from the several tens of thousands type of genes contained within the illusionary snake gene set he had and use the chosen genes to suppress his opponent¡¯s ability!

    Ability suppression!

    Under such circumstances, Myriad Illusionary Wind de would be able to disy a much more astonishing power!

    So this was the real power of Myriad Illusions!

    Chen Feng was excited.

    At this time, the white mist had gradually disappeared. Xie Kangzhong¡¯s originally frail looking silhouette slowly appeared. On his face, a wound could be clearly seen.

    That was a wound left behind by a blue-colored Wind de earlier.

    "Very good."

    Xie Kangzhong touched the wound on his face andughed malevolently as he said, "I did not expect to get injured by my own student. Hehe. Interesting. You are challenging my bottom line."

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

    Bottom line...

    This guy still had a trump card?

    Xie Kangzhong only had three genes.

    Chen Feng guessed that he should have a two 2-star secret art at the very least. However, as for 3 stars? He was not sure if these three abilities of Xie Kangzhong would be able to be fused into a 3-star secret art.

    Even if there was, could Xie Kangzhong afford to buy the form for this secret art?

    "Do you know why I learnt me Absorption?" Xie Kangzhong said suddenly. "Because, me Absorption, fire-type ability, petrification-type ability, these three abilities are able to form a 3-star secret art."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted ferociously.

    "However..."

    "I couldn¡¯t afford it," Xie Kangzhong muttered. "I haven¡¯t improved myself for way too long due to this. Furthermore, that Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain incident destroyed everything I have! However, it¡¯s fine. A short while ago, someone sent it to me, along with the request to kill the both of you!"

    Whoosh!

    Chen Feng¡¯s and Wang Chun¡¯s expressions changed greatly.

    Wang Yue!

    It was indeed him!

    Damn it!

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression was unsightly.

    Myriad Illusionary Wind de was very strong. However, there was still a limit to its prowess. Chen Feng¡¯s foundation was too low. Could he really defeat a Xie Kangzhong that possessed a 3-star secret art?

    He had no idea.

    "Ka!"

    "Ka!"

    Xie Kangzhong¡¯s body started emitting cracking sounds.

    "Hu!"

    "Hu!"

    One after another, clumps of me burst out of his body. Akin to a boiling kettle, the me couldn¡¯t be restrained and started spurting out of every single hole on Xie Kangzhong¡¯s body.

    Nose...

    Ears...

    Mouth...

    "Hu!"

    The temperature rose.

    "What damnable ability is this?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted violently and he pulled Wang Chun and the rest as they retreated.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    Endless power bubbled out of Xie Kangzhong¡¯s body. His whole body transformed into stone, and his size started growing. When his height reached 3 meters, the boiling me fused with the stones on his body, turning into clumps of scaldingva. One after another, fiery redva swirled around, joining all theva boulders together.

    "This is..."

    Chen Feng and the rest inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    That was because, currently, not a trace of Xie Kangzhong¡¯s original appearance could be seen. What stood before them was a three-meter-highva monster.

    A terrifying life form formed of red-hotva.

 Chapter 91: Lava Giant

    Chapter 91: Lava Giant

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Lava Giant!

    Chen Feng suddenly recalled the legend surrounding this 3-star secret art.

    This was a secret art that could be formed by abination of genes from the categories of me absorption, fire, and petrification. During its initial creation, it was only a 2-star secret art where only two gic abilities were required for it.

    It was also a forbidden secret art.

    The reason for that was simple.

    In order to use it, only fire- and petrification-rted abilities, a sufficient skill level and sufficient control of one¡¯s spiritual energy were required. This meant that one only needed to be E-ss to transform into ava giant to disy an astonishing power, which was more than enough for a gic warrior to skip levels to battle someone of a higher ss than them.

    However, those who learnt this ability had all died within a short period of time.

    The reason was equally simple.

    Self harm!

    Lava would not only harm others, the harm it dealt the user was even bigger.

    Hence, this secret art was subsequently ssified as a forbidden ability and remained so until someone modified it into a 3-star secret art. Matching it with an additional gic ability rted to me absorption, it was able to counteract the self harm effect, and with that, this ability once again surfaced in the real world, upgraded from a 2-star secret art into a 3-star secret art.

    Although the skill was now harder to learn since an additional gic ability was required, making it a skill only essible to those in D ss, due to the strength that a D ss possessed, theva giant had also be even more powerfulpared to the previous version.

    And when Xie Kangzhong used this skill...

    "Howl¡ª"

    Xie Kangzhong¡¯s body was enveloped by boundless mes.

    "Regardless of how strong it is,va is stillva in the end!"

    Chen Feng clenched his teeth.

    Icy mist Wind de!

    Without hesitation, Chen Feng started shooting out icy mists once again.

    "Whoosh!"

    "Whoosh!"

    One after another, icy cold Wind des shot out.

    Ci!

    Ci!

    The chain of icy mists smashed into theva loudly. A small chunk of the boilingva froze. However, in an instant, someva flowed through it and the frozen area started burning once again as theva recovered. Due to all theva that was flowing around, a perfect cirction had actually formed on theva boulders.

    Icy mist no longer had any effect!

    The only way it would work was if it was able to erase all theva in a single instant!

    "Let¡¯s give it a try, then."

    Chen Feng looked at his remaining luck value.

    It was more than enough.

    "Bang!"

    A huge amount of icy mist Wind des were instantly unleashed.

    However, just as Chen Feng started his attack, Xie Kangzhong roared and shot a fiery dragon out of his hand, easily countering Chen Feng¡¯s Wind des.

    This was the very moment Chen Feng started having an ominous feeling.

    Theva was no longer the same as the earlier immobileva that he was able to extinguish easily.

    What he faced currently was a mobileva giant. Furthermore, it was even capable of shooting out mes¡ªa monster with a formidable counter-attacking ability.

    What should he do now?

    Chen Feng was anxious.

    Xie Kangzhong was too strong!

    He was already a D-ss warrior. After improving himself, he had now reached a terrifying level of strength! Chen Feng guessed that his main attribute would be at least 2,000 points.

    As for Chen Feng? Only 200!

    They were totally not in the same league!

    Shen Wei?

    Chen Feng looked at the pale face of the youngdy and could only shake his head. Simr to him, Wang Chun was also someone who had only entered E ss recently. Regardless of how powerful Shen Wei was, she was still in E ss.

    This was simply a hopeless situation!

    "Damn it."

    Wang Chun had an unsightly expression on his face. "If I was given more time, a mere D ss..."

    He was indignant as well.

    Both he and Chen Feng were extremely powerful existences among those in the same ss as them. Strong enough to be able to be arrogant!

    However, their current opponent was actually a D-ss gic warrior possessing a 3-star secret art. This already exceeded the scope of what they could handle.

    Even if they could skip levels to battle someone of a higher ss...they would still not be able to shorten their gap with their current opponent.

    Wang Chun smiled bitterly. "Am I going to die now?"

    Chen Feng was also making his final attempt.

    Myriad Illusionary Wind de!

    "Whoosh!"

    The strongest Wind des he could muster were once again unleashed.

    If there was such possibility, even if it was an odd of one in a billion, as long as an ability capable of erasing Xie Kangzhong¡¯s ability existed, it would definitely appear now!

    However¡ª

    Nothing!

    When Chen Feng unleashed his Wind des, what appeared was still those icy mists.

    This meant that, among the several tens of thousands of types of genes contained in illusionary snakes, those genes that Chen Feng was able to activate currently did not include an ability capable of killing Xie Kangzhong!

    The icy mist Wind des were still the optimal choice.

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "Is it due to me being too weak?"

    He was certain that hidden within the genes of an illusionary snake, there were definitely a number of powerful gic abilities. However, it seemed like due to him being too weak, he was unable to activate these genes at all. Those several tens of thousands of genes seemed to be closely linked with his spiritual energy. Only when he increased his spirit attribute would he be able to activate those genes.

    "Let¡¯s end this," Xie Kangzhong said malevolently.

    "Bang!"

    He punched the ground.

    "Bang!"

    The earth crumbled!

    The earth cracked and started spreading asva bubled out of it. A terrifying power was clearly disyed at this instant. Chen Feng and the rest could not even react to the changes in time before the intense heat reached their feet.

    "Pu!"

    Chen Feng felt a tinge of sweetness in his throat.

    Damn it!

    They could perhaps try to resist Xie Kangzhong¡¯s attack. However, out of their expectations, Xie Kangzhong had never intended to attack with amon method. Instead, he chose to attack through the ground underneath them by nting his me energy into the ground and exploding it upward! Unless they were not standing on the ground at all, they would not be able to guard against this!

    Chen Feng turned around and saw that Wang Chun and the rest were injured as well.

    This time, it was getting truly dangerous.

    Wang Chun smiled bitterly. "Damn it."

    He had sent a distress signal over to the Wang family a long time ago. However, it was akin to throwing a stone into the sea. He wasn¡¯t even sure if anyone had even received his distress signal. Seemed like he was going to die for real this time.

    "Sorry to have involved you in this," Wang Chun said to Chen Feng.

    "Ah."

    Chen Feng shook his head.

    Involve?

    It was probably the very fact that the both of them were here together that had attracted Wang Yue to make this move.

    Furthermore...

    He was the one who made the mistake this time.

    Previously, he had given the aurora reagent to Qin Jie to y safe. That move of him had achieved good results. Granted, he was surprised by Shadow¡¯s appearance and him killing Qin Jie. However, even then, Chen Feng was still not particrly worried. He had guessed that Shadow would activate that aurora reagent on him due to him thinking that this was a reagent able to disy the power of a peak D-ss attack!

    As long as Shadow used it against Chen Feng, trying to trigger an explosion using it, Chen Feng would be able to immediately retrieve it back.

    Simple and direct.

    However, he did not expect that Shadow would actually escape.

    He had escaped with the aurora reagent. When he saw that things were getting bad, he would rather give up on An Te instead of using the "earthdragon gene reagent" he perceived as something "priceless." This far exceeded Chen Feng¡¯s expectations.

    Where was the basic trust between fellow humans?

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "If I knew this, I would have produced more of it."

    This was his mistake.

    Howl¡ª

    A heart-wrenching howl by Xie Kangzhong.

    Am I going to die now?

    Chen Feng clenched his teeth as he looked at therge amount of luck value he had left. This was the biggest result of his one month¡¯s worth of preparation. He refuse to believe that with this much luck value remaining he couldn¡¯t even survive this.

    "Bang!"

    Xie Kangzhong started raging again.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Everywhere he passed, the temperature rose greatly.

    One punch of his was enough to shatter the earth.

    Unable to resist!

    Unable to block!

    Unable to defeat!

    The current Xie Kangzhong was akin to an unrivaled war god. He did not even need to get near Chen Feng as he only needed to spam his me attacks on the ground.

    Chen Feng and the rest could not resist his attacks at all.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The weakest Shen Yi died.

    "Shen Yi!"

    Shen Wei raged. "Unlimited sh!"

    She erupted once again with a terrifying power and shed toward Xie Kangzhong. However, facing the current Xie Kangzhong that was akin to a giant, her attacks were useless.

    "Bang!"

    With a punch, Shen Wei died.

    "Only this much?" Xie Kangzhong said.

    The current him was akin to a demon from hell. Scaldingva flowed around him. Every single clump ofva represented the unending and formidable power he had.

    Icy mist Wind de?

    Useless!

    Even if Chen Feng used up all his luck value, he would probably still fail to kill Xie Kangzhong!

    "Howl!"

    Once again, Xie Kangzhong started smashing the ground.

    "Pu!"

    Wang Chun started spurting blood.

    His gaze blurred as he struggled to stay conscious.

    Chen Feng felt a tinge of sweetness in his throat; however, he forcefully held the blood in. Xie Kangzhong¡¯s attack was truly too powerful. Chen Feng had to stop his attacks, or else all that would be left for them was death!

    What to do?

    Chen Feng¡¯s brain started working furiously.

    Icy mist?

    Wind de?

    None work!

    To face his attack directly was even more unreliable!

    Then¡ª

    He could only win through trickery.

    Although Luck Aura was able to choose the strongest ability or the ability that suppressed fire abilities, this was as much as it could aplish. It was like an intelligentputer that would always make the optimal choice for the situation. However, the optimal choice might not be the most fitting choice.

    At times, a human touch was still required.

    Let me think.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes flickered.

    Myriad Illusionary Wind de...

    Lava giant...

    All the information he had pertaining theva giant shed through his mind. Formidable, unrivaled, still powerful even among the D-ss warriors. However, was it truly something without weak points?

    There were weak points!

    For example¡ª

    The huge exhaustion of energy.

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. Huge exhaustion was true whenpared to those among the same ss. However, when facing someone at Chen Feng¡¯s ss? Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual energy was only a fraction of his opponent¡¯s! Furthermore, after this skill was upgraded into a 3-star secret art from a 2-star secret art, with the existence of the me absorption ability, its weak point of having a high exhaustion rate had probably been fixed as well.

    Wait¡ª

    From 2 stars to 3 stars?

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes lit up abruptly.

    He was not certain if he had any me absorption genes within him. However, he was certain that within him, there were fire-type genes and petrification-type genes.

    If that was the case...

    Could he use theva giant ability as well?

    He had not learned this ability. However, could Luck Aura activate it?

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    Bang!

    Luck Aura fully activated!

    "Hum¡ª"

    A ray of light blossomed within his hand.

    A fiery red colored Wind de and a yellow colored Wind de collided midair, fused, and changed into a small and exquisite mini version ofva giant.

    It appeared!

    Chen Feng was in ecstasy.

    Only one extra point of luck value was consumed on top of the original consumption.

    Evidently, the creation of this miniva giant had once again increased Chen Feng¡¯s luck value consumption. However, currently, luck value exhaustion was simply the least of his concerns!

    He had saved it all up for one whole month, all of it for this moment!

    "Go then!"

    Chen Feng was stirred.

 Chapter 92: Letâ€™s Create Midgets Together

    Chapter 92: Let¡¯s Create Midgets Together

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "???"

    Xie Kangzhong had a stupefied expression on his face. His huge body with a height of three meters stood there, totally stupefied. He nkly stared at this one-inch-high miniva giant and thought, This thing here, how did it appear?

    "What on earth is this?"

    Wang Chun was startled awake as well.

    His first thought upon seeing that miniva giant was to think that Xie Kangzhong had even brought a miniva giant here as well before subsequently seeing that, when Chen Feng casually waved his hand, two Wind des shot out and transformed into a midget.

    ??

    Wang Chun was stupefied as well. What on earth was going on here?

    At this moment, Chen Feng was still creating midgets in a serious manner.

    "Whoosh!"

    "Whoosh!"

    A session of Wind des shot out.

    With his Luck Aura fully activated, Chen Feng focused on choosing the ability to be affected by Luck Aura.

    One after another,va midgets appeared. Shortly after, in front of Chen Feng, there were already 40 to 50va midgets that looked exactly the same.

    "Go!"

    Chen Feng pointed.

    Fwaaash!

    The group ofva midgets swarmed Xie Kangzhong.

    "Whoosh!"

    "Whoosh!"

    The group of midgets climbed up Xie Kangzhong¡¯s body. Some of them were hugging his arms, some hugging his thighs, and some were seated on his head, while the rest were sprawled all over his body.

    "Scram!"

    Xie Kangzhong raged.

    Heshed his arms around furiously. Unfortunately, it had no effect. Those midgets that looked the same had wound around him unwaveringly. Regardless of how much heshed around, he was not able to throw them off.

    "Bang!"

    Terrifying mes red up on his body.

    These midgets did not have any me absorption abilities. Hence, they were badly damaged when hit by the me. However, since they were not formed of a human body with flesh and blood, they did not fear the damage dealt by the me.

    Instead, after getting burned, these midgets appeared even more terrifying.

    "Damn it!"

    Xie Kangzhong was getting jittery.

    "You are the one controlling them."

    He reacted quickly and sneered as he said, "It doesn¡¯t matter. I can¡¯t hurt them. However, I can hurt you. As long as I kill you, they will naturally dissipate by themselves."

    "Bang!"

    Xie Kangzhong condensed the power of me in his hands.

    However.

    At this moment, a group of midgets climbed onto his clenched fist and sucked in the power of me on his hand. Xie Kangzhong¡¯s right fist that was originally filled with me energy became an empty shelf.

    "Bang!"

    He punched the ground.

    The ground crumbled.

    The ground below Xie Kangzhong¡¯s foot shook, and then...

    "Ka cha!"

    His right arm snapped.

    Without the protection of me energy, this skill of his was not able to disy any power at all.

    Wang Chun and Chen Feng in the distance were not affected at all. A Xie Kangzhong without his me energy was akin to a tiger without fangs.

    "You..."

    Xie Kangzhong¡¯s killing intent rose.

    On his body, those midgets had sucked off too much me energy from him and now appeared somewhat drunk as they swayed around, appearing extremely intoxicated. However, even now, they were still unwaveringly hanging onto his body, not willing to let go.

    "Scram!"

    Xie Kangzhong started grabbing toward the midgets on his body.

    At that, the drunk midgets started crawling to different parts of his body while swaying around. They moved around Xie Kangzhong¡¯s body nimbly, some having even climbed to his inner thigh.

    "Damn it!"

    Xie Kangzhong was furious. However, he couldn¡¯t do anything to them.

    He couldn¡¯t understand this. He was very strong, far stronger than Chen Feng and Wang Chun. However, why did a normal battle developed into the current situation?

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    After continuously shaking his body a few times, he gave up.

    If I can¡¯t shake them off, I will stop shaking! Even without the me energy, I can still kill Chen Feng!

    By now, he had realized that the one who posed the most threat to him, the one capable of hurting him, was only Chen Feng! This ex-student of his!

    Bang!

    Withrge strides, he walked toward Chen Feng.

    "These midgets of yours are truly somewhat powerful. However, they are totally unable to hurt me," Xie Kangzhong said coldly. "A huge amount of spiritual energy is required to control ava giant. I¡¯m curious, a beginner E-ss warrior like you, how long can you sustain the activation of this skill?"

    Chen Feng sneered. "Definitely longer than you."

    "Bang!"

    Xie Kangzhong punched toward Chen Feng.

    Losing his me energy, what he could do now was only pure physical attacks.

    Although his main attribute was not the strength attribute, his strength, physique and agility attributes were stillparatively high, and Chen Feng was totally not his match.

    "Bang!"

    Another punch.

    Chen Feng was almost sent flying by that punch.

    This won¡¯t do!

    Chen Feng clenched his teeth.

    The current Xie Kangzhong had lost his me energy due to the midgets and was using his pure physical strength to force him and Wang Chun to death. What was depressing was that, even now, in his weakened state, Chen Feng still couldn¡¯t defeat him.

    The gap between them was toorge!

    Exhaustion?

    They totally had no idea how long Xie Kangzhong could maintain this ability!

    What to do, then?

    Chen Feng¡¯s brain started working rapidly.

    Lava midgets ...

    This fusion process was, in actuality, totally different than the formation of theva giant. After all, it was abination of pure energy alone. If that was the case, were there otherbinations for this?

    For example, icy mist and petrification?

    Or¡ª

    Other abilities?

    I don¡¯t care anymore!

    Chen Feng clenched his teeth.

    He would found out if there really existed otherbinations once he tried. Since he had the idea in his mind, he activated his Luck Aura and started trying out differentbinations unceasingly.

    "Whoosh! Whoosh!"

    Wind des shot out once again.

    Luck value dropped rapidly.

    Icy mist, petrification?

    No effect!

    Thunder, earth?

    No effect!

    Icy mist, water crystal?

    "Hum¡ª"

    In front of Chen Feng, an azure colored midget with ice crystals all over its body appeared. Apart from having a different color and ability, it appeared the same as ava midget.

    "Feasible."

    Chen Feng was immediately excited.

    "Whoosh! Whoosh!"

    A huge volume of Wind des were once again spammed out.

    A session of different energybinations started appearing in a disorderly manner.

    Soon, one after another, midgets with bizarre colors climbed up Xie Kangzhong¡¯s body.

    Icefrost midget, formed from ice and frost mist, possessing extremely powerful temperature reduction and freezing abilities. Thunder midget, formed from seawater and thunder, possessing paralyzing abilities and an extremely powerful ability to conduct electricity. Armored midget, formed from stone and earth, possessing extremely powerful blocking and defensive abilities.

    Blue colored...

    White colored...

    Yellow colored...

    An rmed expression appeared on Xie Kangzhong¡¯s face.

    Fwaash.

    All the midgets swarmed him.

    "What damnable things are these?"

    Xie Kangzhong was panicking.

    "Scram!"

    "Scram!"

    Xie Kangzhong started shaking his body frantically.

    However, theva giant was too big!

    Naturally, being big had its benefits. At least, when he faced Chen Feng and Wang Chun, he held the absolute superiority, able to easily catch up to them to deliver a world of hurt upon them. However, it has it disadvantages as well. All those holes on his body had became iparably big as well, just nice enough for those midgets to crawl into.

    The thunder midgets crawled into his ears.

    The icefrost midgets crawled into his nostrils.

    The exploding midgets crawled into that specific hole at his lower body.

    ...

    "Scram!"

    Xie Kangzhong was horrified and started screaming.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    He started raining punches on his own body.

    "Ah¡ª"

    He howled crazily.

    "Fiery Dragon!"

    "Raging mes!"

    An endless amount of me started rising up on his body.

    He wanted to destroy all the midgets.

    However¡ª

    "Explode," Chen Feng spat out coldly.

    "Bang!"

    All the midgets exploded at the same instant.

    A terrifying force instantly erupted. At this instant, the secret arts formed by two different abilities disyed their terrifying power. A terrifying power engulfed the area.

    Xie Kangzhong¡¯s body became bright like fireworks being set off.

    All sorts of colors blossomed from his body, his body hidden within the radiance of the lights.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying force engulfed the area.

    Chen Feng and Wang Chun were directly flung away from the explosion.

    The ground shook.

    Countless mutated beasts in the vicinity were shocked by the explosion and started fleeing frantically.

    The extremely powerful energy contained within Xie Kangzhong¡¯s body,bined with the power from the explosion of the countless midgets, had give birth to a shocking power.

    After a long time.

    When the radiance gradually faded, Chen Feng raised his head and looked at the spot where Xie Kangzhong was at.

    He was still standing there!

    He was no longer ava giant. Instead, he had now returned to his original appearance. However, his body was already heavily damaged. All sorts of bizarre marks were left on his body.

    Icefrost, me, poison...

    His eyes were wide opened as he stared at Chen Feng.

    "Why..." he asked with his somewhat hoarse voice.

    Bang!

    With a resounding bang, he fell on the ground.

    Chapter 93: Really Dare to Act?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Xie Kangzhong was dead.

    Wang Chun nked as his mouth was left hanging, not recovering from his shock after even a long time. Xie Kangzhong might have been a normal D-ss warrior, but a D-ss warrior was still a D-ss warrior! Furthermore, Xie Kangzhong¡¯s strength was increased by at least onefold while he was transformed into ava giant, totally not something someone at their level was supposed to be able to deal with.

    However, he still ended up dying.

    Dying by Chen Feng¡¯s hands.

    As ava giant, he was killed by a group ofva midgets.

    Furthermore, he died in an extremely inhumane condition.

    Instinctively, Wang Chun looked at Xie Kangzhong¡¯s corpse and the leftovers from all sorts of ability on his body, especially that chrysanthemum[1] that was sted apart...

    He trembled subconsciously.

    Too vicious!

    As a genius, Wang Chun believed that, in the future, he would be an expert as well. However, what he was more certain about was that, no matter what, he would not fight Chen Feng in the future.

    This guy was simply an abominable existence.

    Killing a D-ss warrior right after he fused with his E-ss gene.

    His existence was like one big scam!

    Now, when Chen Feng saw the copse of Xie Kangzhong, he finally let out a breath of relief. Finally, it had ended. This had been too difficult on him.

    This was the strongest opponent he had ever faced.

    This person was even his ss teacher.

    Chen Feng looked at the data on his screen. Only 50 points of luck value were left from the initial 500 points. The luck value he had saved for one whole month were nearly used up during this trip.

    This battle alone wasted 240 points of luck value!

    This was not some normal battle. Xie Kangzhong¡¯s death was not undue. In actuality, this was simply a battle where he got spammed to death by luck values.

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly.

    At this rate, no matter how much luck value he has, it wouldn¡¯t be enough.

    "I¡¯m still too weak," he mumbled. If he was stronger, he wouldn¡¯t have been so passive in this battle, and would not have needed to use such peculiar methods to obtain victory.

    However, he had also gotten a clear understanding of his current strength.

    Within E ss, he was not afraid of anyone.

    Myriad Illusionary Wind de alone was sufficient for him to totally defeat a majority of people in this ss.

    As for D ss?

    That would depend on fate and luck value.

    "Are you alright?"

    Wang Chun walked over to him.

    "I¡¯m fine."

    Chen Feng stretched his aching body.

    "Let¡¯s go back first," Wang Chun said softly. "It¡¯s too dangerous here."

    "Understood."

    Chen Feng nodded slightly.

    The two of them did not dare to stay here for long and left immediately. However, when they had just started moving, a sh of light could be seen in the air as a silhouette streaked over to them from a distance.

    Chen Feng was immediately on alert. "Who?"

    "It¡¯s someone from Wang family." Wang Chun finally left out a breath of relief. "This should be someone who received my distress signal and came over to help."

    Chen Feng was somewhat relieved. "That¡¯s good, then."

    If another Xie Kangzhong came... he really couldn¡¯t do anything anymore.

    Not far from them, that silhouette stopped and hovered midair.

    Wang Chun was filled with expectations. However, when he saw that person, he became ashen-faced. "Why is it you? Where is second uncle?"

    Chen Feng, with his acute senses, felt an ominous feeling. "Who is this?"

    "My sixth uncle, Wang Tianhao," Wang Chun said coldly. "Wang Yue¡¯s father."

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils constricted. "What?"

    Wang Yue¡¯s father?

    "Your second uncle is too old and has gone to rest." Wang Tianhao wiped the bloodstains on his hands and smiled. "I¡¯m here to bring you back."

    "You killed him!" Wang Chun¡¯s body trembled as his eyes gleamed with killing intent. "You, father and son duo, finally decided to eliminate the dissidents?"

    "Hehe, how is that possible?" Wang Tianhao smiled as he said, "You, kid, are too impetuous. Come, just follow sixth uncle and go back home."

    Wang Chun merely stared at him coldly.

    "Sigh, this kid." The smile on Wang Tianhao¡¯s face vanished. "Why can¡¯t you be more obedient?"

    Wang Chun maintained his silence.

    "You are Chen Feng?" Wang Tianhao looked at Chen Feng and indifferently said, "I did not expect that you could actually kill Xie Kangzhong. It seems like eliminating the both of you is the correct choice."

    "In Gold City, someone so great is not allowed to exist," Wang Tianhao said slowly.

    Chen Feng did not respond. Instead, he was constantly scanning their surroundings with the corners of his eyes.

    The woods...

    Bunker...

    Since they were now out of the Deste Rocky Grounds, they might have an opportunity to leave here!

    Opportunity...

    Chen Feng was constantly looking for it.

    "You can stop looking." Wang Tianhao smiled. "Since I can appear here, I have definitely cleared our surroundings sufficiently. The both of you are really not bad. Unfortunately, you were both born at the wrong time."

    "In this era, ultimately, only one man¡¯s name is allowed to shine brightly."

    "Goodbye, then."

    Wang Tianhao raised his hand.

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying radiance started gushing out of his hand.

    "This is..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted ferociously. This was actually the Death Ray!

    It was over.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart felt cold.

    This was an extremely powerful ray-type attack. This peculiar light ray possessed an energy concentration that was far denser than aser, able to unleash an extremely shocking power in an instant.

    "Bang!"

    All his eyes could see was an expanse of white light.

    Endless light descended, submerging Chen Feng and Wang Chun within it.

    "Wind de!"

    Chen Feng instinctively counter attacked.

    However, the twenty Wind des he shot off evaporated before the ray of death and failed to affect it whatsoever. Wang Tianhao was far stronger than Xie Kangzhong.

    They stood no chance before him.

    Above C-ss?

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly.

    He did not expect that, after killing Xie Kangzhong, this guy would appear instead. What was interesting was the fact that it was Wang Chun who had sent the distress signal. This was truly...

    Chen Feng sighed.

    Distress signal?

    He had sent a distress signal as well. However...

    Will you really act?

    Chen Feng closed his eyes.

    "Bang!"

    Endless rays of light submerged everything.

    The whole world turned white.

    Calmly, Wang Tianhao finished unleashing his attack and retracted his hand. Two E-ss kids would pose no threat to him. However, he stopped his steps and stared unbelievably in front of him.

    Where the ray of light had attacked, a graceful silhouette had appeared suddenly. Quietly, she stood in front of Chen Feng, blocking off the entirety of the attack. The ray of light was split apart, shooting through both sides of the spot she stood on.

    Death Ray had missed.

    "Bang!"

    The two mountains behind them were hit by the Death Ray, leaving huge holes in them.

    This was the power of Death Ray! Incredibly frightening.

    However, Wang Tianhao¡¯s expression became extremely serious as he looked at that silhouette among the smoke and dust. Someone capable of blocking his attack was definitely not someone simple.

    "Who is your distinguished self?" Wang Tianhao solemnly said, "This is the Wang family¡¯s personal affair. I hope you won¡¯t interfere with this."

    Currently, the aftershock of the attack ended while the smoke and dust gradually settled. An extremely familiar silhouette appeared in front of him. In front of her, that huge ming sword was radiating with a bizarre glow.

    This was the sword that had severed the Death Ray earlier.

    Wang Tianhao¡¯s expression changed greatly. "Yao Er!"

    No matter what, he had never expected that the one who spoiled his n and saved Chen Feng and Wang Chun was his own daughter, Wang Yao!

    She was here.

    Chen Feng raised his head.

    Before his eyes, Wang Yao was standing there silently, a sense of detachment on her delicate face. The huge ming sword started hovering while the tiny skirt she was wearing fluttered around with the wind, leaking off a certain sense of unprecedented beauty.

    "You want to spoil my n?"

    Wang Tianhao was angry. He could maintain his calm against everyone else. Except this daughter! He had no idea how had he ever provoked this daughter of his!

    This lunatic!

    Wang Tianhao held his fury. "I won¡¯t get involved with your affairs. Hence, you won¡¯t get involved in my affairs as well. Is that fine?"

    "Scram," Wang Yao said calmly.

    "Wang Yao!" Wang Tianhao angrily said, "Don¡¯t think that I won¡¯t dare to touch you just because you are my daughter! Don¡¯t be too excessive! There must be a limit to your wanton mischief! If you continue messing around, don¡¯t me me for not holding my hand..."

    "Whoosh!"

    The air trembled.

    The ming sword that was hovering in front Wang Yao suddenly erupted.

    "You dare to act?" Wang Tianhaoughed despite his anger. "You are the same as your mom. A thankless wretch that can¡¯t be tamed. Alright then, since that¡¯s the case, don¡¯t me me for not holding back¡ª"

    "Pu!"

    Blood sttered.

    Wang Tianhao stopped midway through his sentence.

    He stared at his daughter with an unbelievable expression on his face. Inadvertently, he looked into that pair of eyes that seemed capable of seeing through one¡¯s heart, and for the first time, he felt rmed.

    And also¡ª

    Bone piercing coldness.

    Time seemed to freeze.

    Blood sttered.

    Wang Tianhao stood there nkly, looking at his daughter with an unbelievable expression. In the sky, an arm soared up before falling down somewhere in the distance.

    How could this...

    He did not dare to believe that Wang Yao truly dared to make a move against him!

    One more thing he couldn¡¯t understand was how Wang Yao¡¯s strength had be so terrifying. Although this daughter of his had always acted mysteriously and had always been extremely strong, ording to his estimation, at the very most, she should have only gotten into C ss recently. But now...

    One move!

    He had actually failed to even resist one move from Wang Yao!

    How was this possible!

    He almost copsed.

    He couldn¡¯t ept the fact that Wang Yao dared to act against him. However, what he couldn¡¯t ept even more was the fact that Wang Yao¡¯s strength was so much higher than his, high enough to utterly crush him!

    Currently, Chen Feng and Wang Chun were also dazed, and remained so for a long time.

    This...

    Had them seen wrongly?

    Wang Yao?

    shed Wang Tianhao?

    Wang Chun pped himself ferociously. The burning pain on his face assured him that what he saw was not a dream! Wang Yao had truly shed Wang Tianhao!

    Why?

    Wang Chun had a stupefied expression on his face.

    He looked at Chen Feng before looking at Wang Yao, could it be...

    In his brain, a melodramatic romance story that far exceeded the harem in his crystalic had appeared.

    However, our fellow student Chen Feng was just as confused as he was.

    This script seemed to be developing in the wrong direction, right?

    In actuality, he was still somewhat anxious.

    He had asked for help the moment he saw Xie Kangzhong, at almost the exact same time that Wang Chun sent the distress signal. However, Wang Yao had never appeared. Hence, he was very worried. Afterward, when Wang Tianhao appeared, he had directly given up on his hope.

    What a joke.

    Although Wang Yao had agreed to grant him three favors, he couldn¡¯t really expect her to sh her biological father, right?

    Hence¡ª

    He had almost given up.

    However, he did not expect that Wang Yao had reallye and decisively and straightforwardly shed Wang Tianhao. Truthfully, if it wasn¡¯t due to Wang Tianhao¡¯s reaction time being fast, his head would have changed its resting ce by now.

    What damnable situation was this?

    Chen Feng suddenly recalled what Wang Yao had told him previously. At the time, he had thought it was merely something Wang Yao said to pacify his heart in order to get her hands on the seadragon blood essence. However, now that he thought of it, she actually meant what she said.

    Wang Yao...

    Surrounding her was indeed a huge secret!

    Chen Feng looked at that petite silhouette standing in front of him. Suddenly, his heart ached somewhat. Having such a bad rtionship with her family, what kind of past did she have?

    Chen Feng concentrated his gaze.

    "Hu!"

    The huge ming sword flew back.

    Wang Yao coldly raised her head and looked at Wang Tianhao. "Final warning, scram!"

    "You!"

    Wang Tianhao was angered to the point that he was shuddering all over.

    However, as he noticed the killing intent in Wang Yao¡¯s eyes, he felt like he had fallen into an ice cave. Wang Yao had looked at him this way many times previously. He had thought that Wang Yao merely disliked him. He had never guessed that she would truly dare to kill him! The words of anger that he almost spurted out were forcefully swallowed back by him.

    He did not dare to say those words.

    He was afraid that he would really die here. That would truly be a joke.

    After clenching his teeth, he looked toward the arm in the distance. He did not dare to pick it up. Instead, he turned around and escaped.

    Cutting a sorry figure.

    Wang Chun: "..."

    A C-ss warrior could be considered an absolute expert in a ce like Gold City.

    However, this expert here had been beaten like a dog with a single move. Wang Chun had known how cold this sister [1] of his was. However, he had never guessed that her strength was so valiant!

    Frighteningly strong!

    Wang Yao looked at Chen Feng. "Two more times."

    Chen Feng nodded slightly. "All right."

    "Whoosh!"

    Wang Yao picked them up, one in each of her hands, andnded on a cloud.

    Hu.

    The cloud drifted.

    Shortly after, Wang Yao had sent them both to the camp.

    "Contact me if there¡¯s anything," Wang Yao said to Chen Feng before turning around and leaving.

    "Wait," Chen Feng said suddenly.

    "You don¡¯t need to pointlessly take pity on me." Wang Yao raised her head. Those big eyes of hers appeared capable of seeing through one¡¯s inner thoughts. Chen Feng did not get the chance to ask what he wanted ask, and he no longer dared to continue asking.

    Wang Yao...

    What have you actually experienced?

    Chen Feng sighed inwardly.

    "I only wanted to ask." Chen Feng reorganized his words and said seriously, "Mhm... Wang Yue, do you n to get involved in affairs regarding him?"

    Wang Chun¡¯s ears moved slightly.

    Wang Yue!

    They were talking about a serious topic now!

    "I have returned the favor of his words." Wang Yao was as cold as usual. "The path he is currently threading is in actuality a dead end anyway. If you are interested in taking him away at an earlier date, I wouldn¡¯t mind."

    The favor of his words?

    In actuality a dead end?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted ferociously. What did this mean?

    He looked at Wang Chun. Wang Chun looked confused as well. The both of them looked at each other, unable to understand what Wang Yao meant when she said these words.

    But there was one specific point from Wang Yao that they had understood clearly. Wang Yao would no longer get involved in any affairs pertaining to Wang Yue!

    Even if¡ª

    He was killed!

    Chen Feng and Wang Chun exchanged nces, eager to give it a try.

    That fellow Wang Yue had over and over again tried to dispose of them. Was he really thinking that they were pushovers? It was still all right in the past with Wang Yao protecting him. Now...

    Hehe.

    Wang family?

    Could the Wang family protect you?

    Chen Feng sneered. He looked at Wang Yao. This astonishingly beautiful youngdy was as cold as always.

    "Since you no longer care about Wang Yue..." Chen Feng thought about it. "Then my second favor would be to kill him while you¡¯re at it?"

    Whoosh.

    A sluggish expression slightly appeared on Wang Yao¡¯s face. She turned around and looked at that teasing smile on Chen Feng¡¯s face before furiously ring at him, snorting coldly, and disappearing before them.

    Hehe.

    Chen Feng beamed as he looked at her departing figure.

    "You are the awesome one."

    "I won¡¯t even admire an elderlydy, only admiring you![2]" Wang Chun praised Chen Feng. "Able to steal Wang Yao, causing her to fight her father and kill her brother. This melodramatic plot is something that I can usually only see on soap operas."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    This praise doesn¡¯t seem quite right?

    "It¡¯s merely a transaction," Chen Feng exined.

    "You don¡¯t have to exin." Wang Chun patted his shoulder. "An awesome lifestyle needs not any exnations."

    He did not even feel like saying anything anymore.

    Gene producer?

    At the junior production level, Chen Feng was already able to insta-produce an illusionary snake¡¯s scale!

    Gic warrior?

    Right after he entered E ss, Chen Feng was already able to kill off a D-ss warrior like Xie Kangzhong!

    Background?

    When Chen Feng was framed, the deputy president of the Gene Production Association proved his innocence for him! That was not the end of it! Chen Feng had just stolen a Wang Yao that possessed a terrifying strength from the Wang family. For him, she would even sh her own father and renounce her own brother. These two backers were sufficient for Chen Feng to do whatever he wished!

    Now, even if someone were to tell him that Chen Feng was actually some lost prince of some ancient country, he would believe it!

    "You aren¡¯t actually a descendant of some ancient country, right?"

    Wang Chun had an expression of doubt on his face.

    "Descendant your ass." Chen Feng rolled his eyes. "You who owned the whole harem of the crystalic should be the actual descendant, right?"

    Wang Chun: "..."

    The both of them rolled their eyes toward each other.

    However, quickly, Chen Feng thought of something and looked at Wang Chun. "What do you n to do in the future?"

    "Walk my own path," Wang Chun said indifferently. "Leaving the Wang family was my original n. Now that Wang Yue is clearing off dissidents in the family, it¡¯s also a good thing for me to leave this way. In the future, when I get the chance, I will cause Wang Yue some serious trouble."

    "You must be careful when alone." Chen Feng gave it some thought. "If there¡¯s anything, you can contact me."

    "Don¡¯t worry." Wang Chun solemnly said, "After experiencing all this, I will be even more careful. For Shen Yi and Shen Wei and their sisters, I will definitely be stronger!"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Chen Feng sighed. "Why am I saying all this to the owner of The Crystal Pce like you?"

    Seemed like he was the actual lone ranger, right?

    "See you."

    Chen Feng waved his hand as he turned around and left.

    He took the Ironcloud and returned to Gold City. Only when he saw the familiar lighting of the city did he feel like he had returned home. These two days felt like forever.

    Time to return to the urban district!

    Chen Feng raised his head and looked at the monitored area in the distance.

    "Hum¡ª"

    His wristband buzzed.

    Chen Feng opened it and saw that it was actually a message from Xu Fei.

    "I broke through."

    Xu Fei had a refreshing expression on his face. "Have you settled that illusionary snake matter of yours? If not, I can go over and give you a help."

    Broke through?

    D ss?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted.

    "I settled it." Chen Feng smiled. "However, coincidentally, I have a mission for you. If you dare to ept it, of course."

    "What mission?"

    Xu Fei was astonished. A mission they did not dare to ept existed?

    Chen Feng sneered. "Sniping Wang Yue!"

    Footnotes:

    1. Wang Yao is Wang Chun¡¯s cousin to be precise. However, the raw says sister as Chinese tend to refer to cousins as sister or brother at times.

    2. A Chinesespeak, usually goes like "I won¡¯t even admire [insert random characters], only admiring you." Basically it meant someone eximing his heartfelt admiration toward someone.

    Xu Fei¡¯s pupils constricted abruptly.

    Wang Yue?

    That guy from the Wang family?

    The most influential family in Gold City, the Wang family!

    Outsiders might not be clear about this, but the locals of Gold City would have heard of something regarding this family. They were the descendants of a powerful gic warrior in the past. Although the family was now in decline, a thin camel was still bigger than a horse. The Wang family¡¯s power within Gold City was still extremely powerful.

    As for Wang Yue?

    He seemed to be the recently appointed heir of the Wang family.

    "Scared?"

    Chen Feng beamed as he looked at Xu Fei.

    "How is that possible?"

    Xu Fei sneered. Shortly after, however, somewhat embarrassed, he said, "However, that little girl..."

    "I already told her about it," Chen Feng said indifferently.

    Xu Fei eyes abruptly widened. "Shit!"

    Told her about it? Dude, you are trying to kill her younger brother! Is it possible that this guy managed to get into a rtionship with that girl? Xu Fei could only admire Chen Feng.

    "Three million as the fee for your hardships." Chen Feng beamed as he looked at Xu Fei. "You can im the remaining expenses from me as well."

    "I ept it!"

    Xu Fei¡¯s eyes lit up. What a generous offer.

    "Start by investigating his whereabouts first," Chen Feng said, "and then... look for an opportunity to make a move on him."

    "Understood."

    Xu Fei left in excitement to prepare for this.

    Chen Feng smiled calmly.

    He was now rich and imposing. Even if he did not have any money, he could simply produce some gene reagents to make up for it. Since Wang Yue wanted to y the game of assassination with him, then he would y a nice game with Wang Yue.

    Let¡¯s see who would be the one getting assassinated this time.

    After arriving home, Chen Feng rested for a whole night.

    At the Deste Rocky Grounds, in order to maintain his vignce and protect Qin Jie from getting killed by An Te, Chen Feng had never rested and had apanied Qin Jie for one whole night. Subsequently, there was also the appearance of Shadow and his battle with Xie Kangzhong. Danger was lurking on every side, he almost couldn¡¯t hold on anymore.

    Thump.

    Chen Feng slumped onto his bed and entered a deep slumber.

    Early next morning, Chen Feng had recovered to his peak condition.

    "I¡¯m home."

    Chen Feng was rxed and happy.

    His current condition where he was full of vigor was trulyfortable. Especially now that his spirit attribute had reached 200 points. Every single bit of spiritual energy he had gave him a feeling that the world was more distinct.

    After having his breakfast, Chen Feng started concluding his results from this mission.

    First of all, he learned two forms: illusionary snake¡¯s scale and aurora.

    Out of these two, the illusionary snake¡¯s scale form was approaching saturation after countless counts of production and practice. This signified that if Chen Feng were to produce it a few more times, he would soon master this form despite this form being useless for him. As for aurora, it was something that enabled Chen Feng to possess an extremely powerful trump card.

    Next, Chen Feng had fully stepped into E-ss. The perfectbination of Myriad Illusions and Wind des had also caused Chen Feng¡¯sbat power to increase greatly.

    These were the gains that Chen Feng was satisfied with. Next, he started concluding the things he was unsatisfied with.

    For example¡ª

    The aurora reagent being taken away by Shadow.

    This was thergest mistake Chen Feng made during this mission. Although the aurora reagent being presented as "earthdragon gene reagent" had scared his enemies several times with great effect, after it was taken away, Chen Feng¡¯sbat power was greatly affected. Or else, it wouldn¡¯t have been so hard for him to face Xie Kangzhong.

    "This is my mistake," Chen Feng muttered to himself. "Next time, I must carry at least two aurora reagents on me."

    Naturally, he couldn¡¯t help but maliciously think that, if Shadow really used this "earthdragon gene reagent" as his trump card, when he used it, would he notice this unexpected "surprise"?

    "Hum¡ª"

    His wristband buzzed.

    "It¡¯s me."

    Xu Fei¡¯s image popped up.

    After a whole night of investigation, he had gotten results.

    "The Wang family has been in turmoil recently."

    "Seems like it was because the old man of the Wang family was dying."

    "As for Wang Yue..."

    Xu Fei looked at the investigation results. "Recently, he has been increasing his strength furiously and is advancing rapidly. Not only that. The whole Wang family is helping him gather materials. Every single day, he will only produce genes and seclude himself in training. It is said that he is preparing for an event called ¡®rookiepetition¡¯."

    "Gene Rookie Competition?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes lit up.

    Sure enough!

    That Wang Yue fellow was also nning to join this event!

    He had always been stepped on by Chen Feng. However, now that he had obtained the support of the whole Wang family to rapidly improve, naturally, he was able to progress at a flying speed, especially in regards to gene production...

    Chen Feng frowned suddenly. "He ns to keep staying in Wang family?"

    "No." Xu Fei shook his head. "ording to our investigations, Wang Yue has already mastered many basic forms. Now, he seems to have changed his direction and started improving in regards to the production of rare forms. Among these forms is one that needs to be produced on the spot. We have gotten detailed information and are certain of the time and venue for that."

    "Three dayster, Purplewoods Continent," Xu Fei said calmly.

    Purplewoods Continent...

    Chen Feng contemted.

    Purplewoods Continent was a ce where beginner E-ss mutated beasts were active in. Many different types of mutated beasts could be found there, forming a perfect ecosystem.

    Chen Feng was certain that Wang Yue would not go alone. "Around how many people will be going?"

    Xu Fei smiled bitterly. "51."

    "How many?" Chen Feng thought he had heard wrongly.

    "Fifty-one."

    "Among them, 47 of them are E-ss gic warriors. There are also three beginner D-ss gic warriors and Wang Yue himself, 51 people in total," Xu Fei said with a bitter smile.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    ??

    Fifty?!

    The f*ck. Why don¡¯t you fly up into the skies while you¡¯re at it.

    Which freaking family will bring 50 people along when going out to temper oneself?

    He must be crazy.

    "I suppose he must have sent too many assassins on others. Hence, he¡¯s now on guard," Xu Fei spected.

    "Hmmph."

    A cold glint shed in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    On guard? Regardless of how on guard you are, I will still kill you this time!

    "How many of them can your team deal with?" Chen Feng asked solemnly.

    "Either 3 D-ss warriors or 30 E-ss warriors." Xu Fei had no hesitation. "D-ss warriors might sound terrifying. However, those E-ss warriors might be even more troublesome to deal with. Mainly, it¡¯s due to their amount being too high and them having too many different abilities. No one truly knows what abilities they actually have. If they were scattered, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem to deal with all of them. However, when they are all gathered together, it is extremely dangerous."

    When quantity reached a certain amount, it might have a qualitative effect.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "That¡¯s enough."

    "Your team only needed to deal with those three D-ss warriors." Chen Feng thought about it. "Let me think of the ways to deal with those E-ss warriors."

    "All right."

    Xu Fei did not say anything unnecessary.

    The assassination n against Wang Yue began quietly.

    "Forty-seven E-ss warriors..."

    Chen Feng entered deep contemtion.

    Forty-seven E-ss warriors. Thisbination¡¯s strength is far above those D-ss warriors. Furthermore, if they were allowed to freely unleash all their power, they might be able to disy an unimaginable power!

    Hence, they must either be separated or controlled!

    Looking for outsiders?

    Chen Feng shook his head.

    Different from the Wang family, he was a lone ranger and was not able to get someone he was familiar with to do such things. He might even get counter-assassinated instead. As such, he had to be cautious when handling this.

    The perfect example was Wang Chun. Chen Feng did not n to court disaster upon himself.

    "Doing it myself?"

    Chen Feng frowned.

    Using what?

    Lava midgets?

    The strongest power he had disyed so far was what he disyed against Xie Kangzhong. However, the so-calledva midgets were simply something he formed by casuallybining two different abilities. In essence, those were still something he controlled with his spiritual energy. Both its might and strength were not sufficient! Furthermore, this skill consumed way too much luck value. In order to resist Xie Kangzhong, he had wasted 100 points of luck value.

    A crazy amount of luck value!

    Furthermore¡ªsuch a usage was a one-off thing.

    Frankly, Xie Kangzhong had not been killed by him. Instead, he was spammed to death by luck values that were saved over a whole month. This type of victory was not something that could be duplicated.

    "Not reliable."

    Chen Feng vetoed this option immediately.

    What if an aurora reagent was used?

    Chen Feng pondered. Now that he was stronger and had fused with the illusionary snake gene, that was something worth trying.

    Chen Feng decided decisively. "Let¡¯s first produce one set of aurora reagent."

    Whoosh!

    Luck Aura activated!

    Chen Feng began his production skillfully. However, beyond his expectations, at the very beginning of the production, Chen Feng already had a feeling that something was wrong.

    "Whoosh!"

    Light swirled around as his digitized mode copsed.

    Production failed.

    "????"

    Chen Feng had a stupefied expression on his face.

    Production failed?

    God knows how long it had been since he had tasted any failure.

    Especially a failure when Luck Aura was fully activated. Chen Feng opened his data window and started studying it in detail. No luck value was used.

    "Did I forget to activate it?"

    Chen Feng felt suspicious.

    Let¡¯s try again.

    Whoosh!

    Luck Aura activated!

    Once again, Chen Feng started gene production. Before he could even finish the first stage, he felt his digitized mode rocking before once again, it copsed!

    Gene production, failed.

    What¡¯s the situation?

    Chen Feng panicked.

    Failed?

    What was going on?

    Now, Chen Feng truly felt that something had happened.

    "The luck values were not being used..."

    Chen Feng pondered.

    What circumstances would cause the luck values to not be used?

    It was when the luck values were unable toplete the assigned task.

    When he had activated Luck Aura earlier, he was willing it toplete his production. However, if there was no possibility of the production being sessful no matter what, the Luck Aura would not work.

    In other words, his current sess rate was 0%!

    "Is there a problem with the materials?" Chen Feng guessed.

    Only when there was some problem with the materials would the production be total failure.

    After thinking for a bit, Chen Feng bought another set of materials from a different shop and started his production once again. However, he was speechless, as this time it still resulted in failure.

    "It¡¯s not a problem with the materials..."

    "First stage, gene search, failed..."

    Chen Feng frowned.

    Again!

    Once again, he started production.

    He had not mastered aurora reagent form. Hence, he had to rely on his luck values. Therefore, he was unable to objectively judge his production process. This time, he decided to use a form that he had mastered.

    Thundersnake gene reagent!

    Whoosh!

    Chen Feng started production.

    This time, Chen Feng fully activated his spiritual energy. After entering the digitized mode, he was not in a hurry to start. Instead, he started patrolling the digitized world.

    It did not seem like there were any abnormalities.

    "Is it a misconception?" Chen Feng muttered.

    Gene search, begin!

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    He had long ago familiarized himself with the materials for the thundersnake gene. Hence, he was able to easily search for the required genes in the digitized world. However, Chen Feng suddenly paused his gene search.

    A familiar gene had disappeared.

    That¡¯s right.

    Disappeared.

    "There is indeed a problem."

    A cold glint flickered in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    "Slow!"

    He forced the digitized world to reduce the speed it operated at.

    As the digitized world in itself was something formed by spiritual energy, he could exhaust his spiritual energy in order to affect the whole digitized world. The consumption rate when doing this was extremely high, though.

    Onefold slower...

    Twofold slower...

    Threefold slower...

    ...

    Chen Feng reduced the speed non-stop while his spiritual energy was being furiously exhausted. When his 200 points of spiritual energy was nearing the bottom, Chen Feng finally found an abnormality.

    "Whoosh!"

    A white light streaked past and a gene vanished immediately.

    "There¡¯s something."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart was solemn.

    Slower!

    "Whoosh!"

    The white light streaked past.

    Chen Feng fully concentrated his spiritual energy and was finally able to see how the white light looked¡ªit was actually a small snake formed by lightning. Its body traveled back and forth like a sharp arrow!

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    Lightning streaked past.

    It traveled around the digitized world wantonly.

    Currently, it did not even realize that Chen Feng had noticed it.

    Chen Feng, on the other hand, was looking at it with a dazed expression, only when his spiritual energy was fully exhausted and his digitized world copsed did Chen Feng recover from his stupor with a stupefied expression on his face.

    Tiny lightning snake?

    Wait...

    What on earth was that!

    Chen Feng thought carefully. Although that tiny lighting snake was formed by light, having a good-looking appearance, however, it was essentially an illusionary snake with marquee installed on it!

    That¡¯s right!

    Illusionary snake!

    Exactly the same as the illusionary snake leader Chen Feng had met previously.

    Could it be...

    Chen Feng abruptly thought of something and immediately looked for the eggshell he took from the Deste Rocky Grounds. With horror, he found that the eggshell had disappeared.

    How could this have happened?

    Chen Feng suddenly thought of a possibility.

    After that illusionary snake was born, it had never left. Instead, all along, it was hidden within the eggshell. When Chen Feng took the eggshell back, it had been brought back as well.

    "Son of a b*tch."

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly.

    With that illusionary snake around, he was not able to produce any genes.

    Now, he had to get things rified.

    Unable to wait for his spiritual energy to recover, Chen Feng directly bought several spirit recovering reagents. When his spiritual energy was recovered, he entered the digitized mode once again.

    This time, he directly reduced the speed and started observing it.

    In the digitized world, lightning flickered around. That miniature snake traveled back and forth happily. When it met a gene, it would devour it with a single bite before afortable expression was shown on its face.

    Chen Feng widened his eyes abruptly.

    Eating genes?

    Shit!

    He suddenly recalled the ancestors of illusionary snakes. That damnable gluttonous snake!

    That life-form seemed to be something that had genes as their food. When eating other life forms, their main purpose was to get the genes in the bodies of the other life forms. This specific characteristic of this species had gradually disappeared with time. However, now, it seemed to have reappeared.

    Gene returned to its roots?

    No.

    This was not merely a gene returning to its roots. Instead, this was simply an evolution!

    This damnable tiny lighting snake had even stopped eating mutated beasts. Instead, it was now only eating genes! Only eating the genes that went through Chen Feng¡¯s extraction process in the digitized world! Soaring high after Chen Feng constructed the digitized world!

    In other words...

    Chen Feng finally understood that... the genes he extracted from the blood essence using his spiritual energy and the gene world he formed using the digitized mode were all the food of this fellow?

    Damn!

    Chen Feng cursed inwardly. No wonder he had failed all his productions!

    "This can¡¯t continue."

    A cold glint flickered in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes. This fellow had to be dealt with.

    It was extremely difficult to catch the tiny lightning snake.

    That was because, even when the digitized world was slowed to its limit, Chen Feng could only see it after great difficulty.

    In this state, if Chen Feng was to make his move, his speed would also be slowed to its limit, nearly not moving at all. Under normal circumstances, this fellow was uncatchable!

    However...

    This was only applied to an ordinary person.

    Chen Feng sneered.

    Once again, he recovered his spiritual energy and entered the digitized world. However, this time, Chen Feng did not reduce the speed. Instead, he directly activated Luck Aura.

    Whoosh!

    Light streaked past.

    Chen Feng casually grabbed at the air with his right hand.

    "Hum¡ª"

    In the digitized world, it could be clearly seen that a tiny lightning snake was grabbed by a huge hand. It had an ominous feeling and started escaping quickly. However, it was obstructed by one gene after another that just happened to pass by the area. The boundless foods that used to fascinate it were now things that were obstructing its path of escape.

    Whoosh!

    Chen Feng caught it easily.

    Ci¡ª

    Ci¡ª

    The tiny lightning snake flickered unceasingly, like a "signal lost" indication on amunication device. However, after trying a few times yet failing to get away, it could only give up.

    So this was the fellow?

    Chen Feng carefully observed this tiny snake.

    Mhm...

    Couldn¡¯t be seen clearly.

    Different than ordinary illusionary snakes, this fellow seemed to be formed by light particles! It could even change its color and brightness at will.

    A marquee indeed!

    Chen Feng was too tired to even berate this thing.

    No wonder it couldn¡¯t be seen previously. When it hatched, this guy had assumed the same color as the eggshell, so it was not found at all.

    Or it might also be...

    In reality, its body was also formed of light particles?

    Hum¡ª

    Chen Feng suddenly heard a whine.

    When he looked carefully, it was actually the tiny snake in his hand begging for forgiveness from him.

    It even had intelligence?

    Chen Feng eximed in admiration.

    "You can understand my words? Chen Feng asked.

    This perfectly straight string of light in his hand suddenly bent down several times.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Was this the snake nodding?

    "Your body in the real world is also the same?" Chen Feng asked.

    The string of light did not respond after a long time, probably unable to understand Chen Feng¡¯s meaning.

    "Can¡¯t understand?"

    Chen Feng was somewhat disappointed.

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    The light string shook its body unceasingly.

    What does this mean?

    Chen Feng was confused.

    The string of light seemed to be anxious now. Ayer of faint light flickered on his body. Instantly, the whole digitized world was engulfed by the light. Chen Feng¡¯s digitized world copsed instantly.

    Not good.

    Chen Feng had an ominous feeling.

    This tiny lightning snake still had this move up its sleeve!

    At this moment of shock, Chen Feng had returned to the real world. However, the moment he lowered his head, he saw something that was totally unimaginable¡ª

    That tiny lightning snake was actually still in his hand!

    Hum!

    The string of light slightly curved its body, nodding to Chen Feng, seemingly proud of its achievement.

    Chen Feng was shocked.

    Could it be...

    He finally knew what the string of light meant.

    Main body!

    This was in actuality its main body!

    Different from Chen Feng that had constructed a digitized world and entered it using his spiritual body, the snake could enter the digitized world with its main body! It could actually travel between the spiritual world and real world with its main body!

    Chapter 97: Blood Lesson

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    What damnable ability was that?

    Chen Feng was shocked.

    The illusionary snake was originally a life-form filled with mysteriousness. This gluttonous snake whose gene returned to its roots and had even gone through an evolution was simply an extremely inconceivable existence.

    This guy was a newborn!

    If it were to further develop like this...

    Furthermore, this guy seemed to be able to change the color of its light as it wished?

    If it was to be well-practiced with switching light colors and hiding itself in the surroundings, nobody could notice it! They might even treat it as a normal ray of light!

    Who could notice it?

    The more he thought of it, the more Chen Feng found this astonishing.

    This fellow here was simply an extremely dreadful product.

    How should he deal with it?

    Chen Feng was somewhat unable to make up his mind.

    Kill it?

    He couldn¡¯t bear to kill it.

    This was a mystical mutated beast that had never appeared in history. Furthermore, with its current form, whether it could be killed or not was a question in itself.

    Release it?

    Too troublesome.

    Releasing something that could at any time mature into something no one could detect that was also an extremely threatening existence in and of itself to society? That was simply a disaster in the making!

    Keeping it at his side?

    Chen Feng looked at it and sighed.

    He indeed wished to keep it with him. However, this guy...

    "Hum¡ª"

    Seemingly sensing Chen Feng¡¯s thought, that tiny lighting snake submissively sprawled out on Chen Feng¡¯s hand. An intense feeling of attachment was instantly transmitted into Chen Feng¡¯s brain.

    "This guy..."

    Chen Feng was amazed.

    Despite the fact that the tiny snake couldn¡¯t speak, he was still able to clearly sense the mood of that tiny snake. This snake considered Chen Feng as its closet kin.

    "Is it due to me bringing you back here?" Chen Feng muttered.

    Oh well, since that¡¯s the case, I might as well keep it by my side. Even if it does not have anybat power, it is still good as a mascot.

    However, shortly after, Chen Feng was faced with an extremely headache-inducing problem.

    Gene production!

    Now, as soon as he started gene production, this tiny snake would go into his digitized world and start furiously devouring genes. If he did not let it eat, it would stay beside him, staring at him pitifully.

    This greatly affected Chen Feng¡¯s state of mind!

    "This won¡¯t do."

    Chen Feng did not know whether he shouldugh or cry.

    When that intense feeling of being wronged was transmitted to him, Chen Feng almost failed his production then and there.

    It was so even when Chen Feng was producing a form that he had mastered. What about other forms? This little guy was now effecting Chen Feng¡¯s normal production!

    As far as it was concerned, genes equaled food!

    Especially the genes extracted by Chen Feng within his digitized world.

    "Are they really so delicious?"

    Chen Feng looked at the tiny snake before him as it transmitted a joyous feeling to him.

    How about... feeding this guy until it was full first?

    Chen Feng gave it a try, only to find that this guy would not be full regardless of how much it was fed! It could eat crazily all day long without stop. The concept of "fullness" was simply nonexistent for it.

    Onlyter did Chen Feng recall that this guy¡¯s ancestors were those gluttonous snakes!

    "Fine."

    Chen Feng felt his head aching.

    Gene food...

    Couldn¡¯t be full...

    Mhm...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. If...

    "Come,e over here."

    Chen Feng suppressed his excitement.

    Whoosh!

    Light flickered as the tiny snake hovered before Chen Feng.

    "Come."

    Chen Feng entered the digitized world. "Don¡¯t move first."

    Tiny snake nodded obediently.

    "Look."

    Chen Feng pointed at the genes he needed. "This, you can¡¯t eat. This also, you can¡¯t eat. That can¡¯t be eaten, that also can¡¯t be eaten, mhm... no, this can¡¯t be eaten either."

    Chen Feng consecutively pointed at tens of genes before saying "Get it?"

    The tiny snake tilted its head.

    Only after a long exnation from Chen Feng did it somewhat understood.

    "Very good."

    Chen Feng was extremely satisfied. "Apart from those I pointed out, the rest are all yours! Everything else is all yours. Understand?"

    Chen Feng was filled with expectation.

    This was a sudden idea he had.

    How many genes were contained in a single blood essence?

    Too many to be counted!

    How many did Chen Feng need?

    Just a very few of them!

    Rather than prohibiting this guy to eat genes, might as well taught it which to eat and which to not eat. The leftovers were all what he required.

    "Let¡¯s try."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    Whoosh!

    He entered digitized mode.

    He used lumberbear gene for his first attempt. He did not restrict the tiny snake, allowing this string of light that couldn¡¯t be seen to travel around the digitized world as it pleased. In a mere few seconds, the tiny snake was done.

    The only things left in the whole digitized world were the genes Chen Feng required.

    He did not even need to select the genes. Instead, he only had to directly collect all the remaining genes.

    "Sess!"

    Chen Feng was in ecstasy.

    When he looked at the tiny snake once again, he felt like he was looking at an invaluable treasure.

    This fellow...

    Had actually helped Chen Feng skip the first production stage, gene search!

    "With this, I can save a lot of luck value."

    Chen Feng was excited.

    As he get stronger, the consumption rate of luck value was getting extremely high as well. Chen Feng felt like his luck values were getting insufficient. The appearance of the tiny snake could be considered as some sort of relief to this problem he was facing.

    Whoosh!

    Light flickered.

    After enjoying itself with the meal, the tiny snake streaked around in excitement.

    Chen Feng sighed emotionally.

    This guy was indeed a luck bringer!

    It was able to travel between the spiritual world and real world as it wished. After thinking about it, Chen Feng tried to build a small room in his spiritual world. Next, the tiny snake actually entered the room.

    It could indeed travel between the illusionary and real world as it wished.

    A terrifying ability!

    Chen Feng eximed in admiration.

    However, this was fine too. Chen Feng did not need to prepare a spot for it to stay. As long as he used one point of spirit to maintain a small spiritual world, it could stay and sleep inside.

    Naturally, every single time Chen Feng started gene production, it seemed to be able to wake up immediately to rush into the digitized world and feast on the genes.

    "Simply the same as a cat that smelled food."

    Chen Feng found this funny.

    "It¡¯s about time I give you a name."

    Chen Feng looked at the tiny snake in front of him. Currently, it looked like a thick ray of light. Mhm, a red ray of light, flickering with a red glow.

    "How about... I call you Little Red."

    Whoosh.

    The red light instantly turned green.

    "Little Green?"

    Whoosh!

    The green light turned ck.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    I can¡¯t call you Little ck, right?

    "Since you are a silhouette of light... I will just call you Xiao Ying[1] normally, this should be eptable right?" Chen Feng said seriously.

    The tiny snake finally agreed and excitedly streaked around the house.

    Chen Fengughed involuntarily.

    Xiao Ying?

    As he looked at the red light streaking around the house, it seemed like a nice name. Its speed was too fast. Under normal circumstances, it couldn¡¯t be seen. Only a sh could be seen.

    After dealing with Xiao Ying, Chen Feng once again started gene production.

    This time, he was producing an aurora reagent.

    With Xiao Ying¡¯s assistance, he easily produced two sets.

    "This time, there shouldn¡¯t be any mistakes, right?" Chen Feng mumbled.

    Even after the aurora reagent was prepared, Chen Feng was still not satisfied.

    Would this be sufficient to contend against 47 E-ss warriors?

    He was unsure.

    "It¡¯s best if I get someone to help."

    Chen Feng contemted and suddenly looked at a certain name in his contact list and smiled instantly.

    "You are investigating Wang Yue?" Chen Feng asked suddenly.

    Wang Chun¡¯s expression changed slightly. "Damn, how did you find out that I¡¯m trying to set him up."

    "Hehe." Chen Feng smiled, not saying anything.

    What kind of person was Wang Chun? Now that this guy had suffered such losses, how could he not plot revenge? Even without guessing, Chen Feng could know that this Wang Chun guy was definitely secretly conducting his investigations.

    Chen Feng beamed as he looked at Wang Chun. "Are you interested in doing something big?"

    Wang Chun narrowed his eyes. "You are not scared of Wang family?

    Chen Feng sneered. "As long as I remain in Gold City, he will not dare toy his hands on me."

    In the wilderness, you can do as you wish. However, in Gold City?

    The current Chen Feng had a flourishing reputation in Gold City. If the Wang family dared to make a move on Chen Feng, the Gene Production Association would definitely deliver them death!

    "Alright."

    A cold glint flickered in Wang Chun¡¯s eyes.

    Initially, he had only nned toy a vicious trap for Wang Yue. However, he did not expect that Chen Feng was actually nning something even more vicious. Although it was risky, if it was nned properly...

    He would join in! Since even Chen Feng was not afraid, what should he be afraid of?

    Outside Gold City was a vast world. There were too many ces he could go. What could the Wang family be counted as? No matter what, for this incident, Wang Yue had to be taught a lesson!

    A bloody lesson!

    Footnotes:

    1. Xiao here means "little" while ying here means "silhouette" or "figure." Both Little Silhouette and Little Figure sound incredibly awkward, so I decided to keep the pinyin (Xiao Ying) as the name.

 Chapter 98: Ambush

    Chapter 98: Ambush

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Purplewoods Continent.

    This was an extremely beautiful ce surrounded by oases.

    Normally, this was also a ce where mutated beasts rampaged. Now, though, all the mutated beasts seemed to have been killed at the same time, causing the ce to reek of blood.

    Under the shade of a tree was Wang Yue, wearing a solemn expression. Around him were flickering lights that swirled around him.

    The materials before him floated as willed by his spiritual energy. One after another, materials disappeared as they were changed into a liquid form. Next, they fused with the recently produced blood essence, producing a brand new reagent.

    "Done."

    A gratified expression appeared on Wang Yue¡¯s face.

    After 36 attempts at production, he had finally seeded once!

    This rare form was indeed worthy of being an E-ss form. Haha. Only by dealing with this form would he be a true intermediate producer.

    Chen Feng?

    Wang Chun?

    Merely clowns.

    "Continue," Wang Yue said coldly.

    "Capture the mutated beast and bring it here," the middle aged man beside him said in a deep tone. Next, several E-ss warriors carried a half-dead mutated beast to Wang Yue before killing it.

    "Pu!"

    The mutated beast died.

    Wang Yue extracted the blood essence in a well-practiced manner and started his production.

    The gic warriors before him left and started hunting mutated beasts again. Some of them were in charge of clearing the area and providing protection to Wang Yue, some were responsible for supplying spirit recovery to Wang Yue, some were responsible for making sure that their environment wasfortable so as to not affect Wang Yue¡¯s production, and some were responsible for carrying materials around for Wang Yue.

    Far away, as Chen Feng and his group saw this, they were speechless.

    This...

    No wonder he needed 50 peoples.

    Even spiritual energy recovery needed assistance?

    "Truly..."

    At this point, Chen Feng no longer knew what to say.

    "Your Wang family is indeed wealthy," Chen Fengmented. The only thing he could say was how the Wang family was rich and imposing, willing to part with these riches for Wang Yue.

    "Screw that," Wang Chun said in disdain. "Grandfather had retired from the leading position. Now that Wang Yue¡¯s group is the one wielding the power in the family, every single one of them is like some newly rich guy. Sooner orter, the fortunes of the Wang family will be squandered off by them."

    Hum¡ª

    Light swirled before Monkey¡¯s eyes. Both his eyes were sharp as lighting, while the screen of light in front of him flickered unceasingly.

    Suddenly, the image broke off.

    "What happened?" Xu Fei asked in a low voice.

    "We can¡¯t continue watching," Monkey replied. "Inside there are some fellows with extremely keen spiritual energy. If I continue monitoring them, there¡¯s arge probability of getting discovered."

    "If so, let¡¯s just trail after them," Chen Feng said calmly.

    Ambush was also a form of art.

    They needed to trail after Wang Yue¡¯s group the whole time, avoid getting found out, and look for an opportunity to kill with a single strike! If they were to rashly charge up to Wang Yue¡¯s group, it would only end with both sides suffering losses.

    Now... was still not the time.

    "How¡¯s the preparation over there?" Chen Feng suddenly asked.

    "It¡¯s ready." Xu Feiughed happily. "Zhou Ling and the rest should have finished their job."

    "Very good."

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was as sharp.

    "Then¡ª"

    "Let¡¯s begin."

    "All right."

    Several silhouettes quietly hid themselves within the woods.

    "Hu¡ª"

    The wind blew past.

    Wang Yue failed the gene he was producing and was abruptly startled awake as he looked at his surroundings.

    "What¡¯s the matter?" his underlings asked.

    "Nothing." Doubt appeared in Wang Yue¡¯s eyes before he shook his head. "Tell those few people in charge of scouting to be more careful. Don¡¯t allow other mutated beasts toe here."

    "Understood."

    His underlings ryed hismand immediately.

    Layers of spiritual energy enveloped their surroundings as the monitoring became stricter.

    Only with this was Wang Yue relieved and once again started his production.

    One time, two times...

    After 30 times, he finally seeded once again!

    Wang Yue frowned. "Somewhat slow."

    With this speed, whether or not he could became an intermediate-level producer before the rookiepetition was a big question. Right at this moment, the excited voices of several of his underlings traveled over.

    "Young Master Wang, we found a beast leader."

    "Leader?"

    Wang Yue¡¯s heart jolted.

    If a leader was killed for his production, even if he failed the production, he would also have quite arge improvement! After all, the genes contained within a leader far exceed normal beasts.

    The higher the difficulty, the higher the improvement!

    "Bring it over here!"

    Wang Yue was excited.

    Even if it was a leader, for this species, it would only be peak E ss. Under the protection of three D-ss gic warriors, he did not fear it at all!

    "Understood."

    A D-ss warrior easily killed that leader before bringing it back.

    "This is a leader..."

    Wang Yue was emotional.

    Nowadays, whatever he wanted to aplish only needed a word from him and there would be someone carrying it out for him. He suddenly felt that, even without Wang Yao¡¯s assistance, he would still be able to get stronger!

    Wang Yue clenched his teeth as he thought inwardly, Sister, I am aware that you look down on me. However, in the future, I must have such high aplishments that you can only look up to me!

    "Pu!"

    After extracting the genes from the leader¡¯s corpse, Wang Yue once again started his production.

    Around him were a group of people standing guard.

    At this moment, without anyone noticing, the nose of the mutated beasts in the vicinity wrinkled slightly before looking in their direction and as they became somewhat irritable all of a sudden.

    Soon, a group of mutated beast started charging in their direction.

    In the beginning, Wang Yue¡¯s group was not bothered about this at all. If the mutated beasts were to charge toward them, they only needed to kill those beasts. However, as the amount of mutated beasts increased, causing several deaths of E-ss gic warriors, they finally noticed that something was wrong.

    Howl¡ª"

    Waves of mutated beasts charged forth as if they were crazy.

    "What¡¯s the matter?"

    Everyone¡¯s expression changed slightly.

    "No idea."

    Everyone was panicked.

    Why were the mutated beasts around here suddenly raging?

    At this time, a gic warrior with an ability rted to smell found that something was wrong. The mutated beast leader they had killed earlier was emitting a familiar smell from its corpse.

    "There¡¯s some odd fragrance in its body!"

    That guy reacted. "It must have been injected with a reagent that attracts mutated beasts!"

    "Damn it."

    Everyone was startled awake.

    After the mutated beast leader¡¯s corpse was thrown away, the disturbance had indeed disappeared quickly. However, everyone¡¯s expression was unsightly. Why would a mutated beast leader¡¯s body be injected with such thing?

    Wang Yue thought of An Te.

    Since he couldn¡¯t contact An Te, could it be...

    "Investigate those on our side," Wang Yue said in a low voice. "Some of those in our ranks might be problematic."

    "Understood."

    A cold glint flickered in the eyes of the few D-ss warriors.

    However, right at this moment, one after another, green and white rays of light streaked through the air, charging toward them from various directions. The few of them who possessed formidable strength were immediately startled awake.

    "Enemy attack!"

    A loud shout.

    "Bang!"

    They reacted quickly.

    Pu!

    Pu!

    The white rays of light streaking toward them were all erased.

    Those white lights shattered and disappeared in the air. With this, the few of them let out breaths of relief.

    "Prepare for battle."

    Everyone was on high alert.

    However, right at this moment, the sky thundered. Everyone instinctively raised their head and their expression immediately changed greatly. They recalled a certain gene reagent that was extremely popr a short while ago, could it be...

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    Boundless lightning descended upon them.

    Everyone paled and put up defenses in horror. So when the white lights disappeared earlier, it was actually these damnable mutated thundersnake gene reagents being activated.

    "Bang!"

    The lightning bombarded them.

    The mutated thundersnake gene reagent was not considered a powerful reagent. However, its advantage was its surprise factor.

    After the lightning shed through, out of the 47 E-ss warriors of Wang Yue, only 20 remained. The remaining 27 of them were all dead!

    "Damn it."

    Wang Yue furiously called for help. However, the signal had long been blocked.

    "These things are mutated thundersnake gene reagents. After activation, they will disappear and attack from above."

    A cold glint flickered in Wang Yue¡¯s eyes.

    "Bang!"

    Once again, several bolts of lightning descended upon them.

    Unfortunately, after being discovered by Wang Yue, his people started defending in an orderly manner. As such, the lightning was no longer effective against them.

    "Chen Feng!"

    Wang Yue¡¯s face was shockingly cold.

    The moment he saw the amount of mutated thundersnake gene that was so huge it covered the skies, he knew who the enemy was! However, he had never expected that Chen Feng actually dared to make a move on him.

    How dare he?!

 Chapter 99: Green Skeleton

    Chapter 99: Green Skeleton

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    As the few D-ss gic warriors surrounded them, Wang Yue felt like his heart had fallen into a deep abyss. He also found with astonishment that thest two ambushers to appear were Chen Feng and Wang Chun!

    Wang Chun...

    Wang Yue clenched his teeth.

    It is indeed these two!

    Both sides exchanged nces. They were able to feel the killing intent in their opponent¡¯s gazes, which were sharp as des.

    "Chen Feng, if you kill me, my sister will not let you off!" Wang Yue shouted.

    "Hehe."

    Chen Feng merely sneered before nodding slightly toward Xu Fei¡¯s group. "Kill!"

    "Understood." Xu Feiughed malevolently.

    "Whoosh!"

    The four-person squad once again made their move.

    Their current opponents were the three D-ss gic warriors!

    "Bang!"

    The battle began immediately.

    Xu Fei and his squad had just entered D-ss, so their strength was not particrly formidable. However, their opponents, who were beginner D-ss warriors as well, had one less personpared to their four-man squad.

    "Kill!"

    The three sank into a predicament immediately.

    "Kill them all!" A E-ss gic warrior screeched.

    The group of E-ss warriors prepared to make their move. However, with a sneer from Wang Chun, the Shen Yi siblings charged out and forcefully intercepted all the E-ss warriors.

    Shen Wei sneered. "Who gave you all permission to get involved?"

    "Bang!"

    More than half of the ground there crumbled while mes started raging around the area.

    Against these masterminds that had caused her to die once and her sister to die twice, Shen Wei would not be courteous. Her terrifying unlimited sh was fully unleashed at this moment!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Endless sounds of miserable screams could be heard.

    Shen Wei¡¯s power was very peculiar. She was incapable of skipping ss to challenge those in D ss. However, due to her peculiar power and skills, she had an absolute reign at the peak of E ss regardless of the amount of enemies she faced.

    Everyone from the Wang family¡¯s camp sunk into a bitter struggle.

    The ambush was a sess on its first attempt.

    Chen Feng sneered as he looked at Wang Yue.

    Wang Yue gulped. "Chen Feng, if you kill me, the Wang family will not let you off!"

    "Is that so?" Chen Feng merely smiled indifferently.

    From the moment the body¡¯s original owner was thrown into the sea to feed the sharks, everything was already set in stone. So far, nothing had happened due to Wang Yao¡¯s appearance, which forced Chen Feng to bury his killing intent in the bottom of his heart.

    Now, however, it was about time for this to be dealt with.

    "Hum¡ª"

    A Wind de appeared in Chen Feng¡¯s hand.

    sh!

    The Wind de circled around before streaking toward Wang Yue.

    "Don¡¯t kill me."

    Wang Yue retreated in horror.

    He did not want to die here. However, just as he was about to be hit by the Wind de, the middle-aged man beside him, who had always been responsible for replenishing his spiritual energy, raised his hand suddenly.

    "Block."

    Astonishingly, when the Wind de hit his hand, a crisp sound could be heard.

    "What is that?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted.

    "You are Chen Feng?"

    The middle-aged man looked at Chen Feng. "Wang Tianhao mentioned you to me. He said that a person like you would definitely not be willing to be insulted like that and would certainly plot revenge. Hence, he had me conceal myself at Wang Yue¡¯s side to protect him. Mhm, I originally thought he was simply being too worried over his son. Now however, it seems like..."

    "A person at a high position like him is able to see far indeed."

    The middle-aged man smiled.

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying power was emitted from his body.

    He was actually D ss!

    "It¡¯s you."

    As Xu Fei noticed the change happening, he took a nce before the expression on his face abruptly changed slightly. "Chen Feng, he is Jadebone Sun Jia. Possessing copper skin and iron bone, he is an extremely terrifying person. Attacks below D ss are definitely incapable of injuring him!"

    Copper skin and iron bone?

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

    "If we can¡¯t do it, let¡¯s retreat first," Wang Chun said in a low voice.

    The scariest thing during an ambush was for unforeseen circumstances to emerge!

    Wang Yue¡¯s assassination of Chen Feng had also failed due to various unexpected things happening. And now, when it was their turn to assasinate, Sun Jia¡¯s unexpected appearance was giving them an ominous feeling.

    Xu Fei¡¯s squad was unable to lend a hand as they were busy dealing with the D-ss warriors. Who could deal with Sun Jia?

    "Let me give it a try."

    A cold glint flickered in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    His mission to kill Wang Yue today had to seed!

    "You?"

    Sun Jiaughed involuntarily.

    A kid that had just entered E ss? Truly...

    However, before he even reacted, Chen Fengshed out.

    Myriad Illusionary Wind de!

    The moment Chen Feng acted, he unleashed his strongest attack.

    Whoosh!

    A session of bizarre Wind des streaked toward Sun Jia. Those familiar movement-dying abilities appeared once again. However, Sun Jia¡¯s body merely flickered with a yellow light as all of Chen Feng¡¯s attacked were blocked.

    "Ding ding dang dang!"

    The Wind des that filled the skies smashed onto the iron-like skin.

    Even when those des of water and mucusnded on Sun Jia¡¯s body, they merely slid down. His whole body was wrapped in a copper skin that was also slippery, as if some lubricant had been wiped on it.

    All the Wind des were ineffective.

    "This is your attack?"

    Sun Jiaughed heartily.

    Wind des with various properties?

    Interesting indeed. Unfortunately, they were ineffective against him.

    He was a defensive gic warrior. In a situation where the power of the attacks did not even reach the minimum intensity required to break him, the attacks would be totally incapable of breaking through his defense!

    "Hmmph."

    Chen Feng merely sneered.

    So this is what it meant by copper skin and iron bone.

    Then...

    Things are much simpler.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed with a cold glint as he once against unleashed his Wind des. Furthermore, all except one property of the Wind des were given up. A session of green-colored Wind des were immediately spammed toward Sun Jia!

    Pu! Pu!

    The Wind des transformed into liquid.

    "I told you, your attacks are ineffective against me."

    "You think this kind of..."

    Sun Jia sneered before he suddenly felt a piercing pain. He lowered his head and took a look, only to have his expression changing greatly when he did. The green liquids were actually corroding his body.

    Poison!

    These were actually poisonous liquids!

    Poison-type genes had a very strong corrosion effect with very specific uses. However, due to their unique nature and the difficulty to form a proper gene system using them[1], they had been rejected by society, causing the number of their users to beparatively low. Hence, Sun Jia had never met an opponent using such genes!

    Now, however, he¡¯d met one.

    This... was the gene that absolutely suppressed his genes!

    "Damn it."

    Sun Jia furiously urged his ability, attempting to throw off the liquid on his body. However, a hole was still left on his abdomen.

    His flesh and blood were now visible!

    Metal?

    Copper skin and iron bone?

    Attacks below D ss ineffective?

    "Scram!"

    Sun Jia felt his strength weakening.

    Damn it!

    These poisons were, in actuality, very slow. He only needed to take note of it and he would no longer be hit by it. However, he had been careless. This was only a single instance of carelessness!

    He believed that, as long as he threw off this damnable poisonous liquid, he would be able to kill Chen Feng!

    However, would Chen Feng give him this chance?

    "Ah."

    Chen Feng sneered.

    "Rise!"

    Boundless Wind des circled around him.

    An instant eruption of green Wind des!

    Twenty Wind des!

    Forty Wind des!

    One hundred Wind des!

    The green-colored Wind des covered the skies as they engulfed Sun Jia. Since he found the chance to do so, he had to kill this Sun Jia immediately. Sun Jia was instantly flooded by the terrifying green-colored Wind des.

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah¡ª"

    One after another, miserable ear-piercing screams resounded.

    Ci¡ª

    Ci¡ª

    The sound of corroding flesh could be heard without stop.

    Everyone else couldn¡¯t help themselves but to look at this scene in horror. Even Xu Fei¡¯s group, not far away, was also looking at Chen Feng with horror. What damnable ability was this?!

    A catalysis reaction had actually been triggered?

    Chen Feng had a stupefied expression on his face as well.

    Even he himself had not expected that, after Sun Jia¡¯s body was turned into metal, it would react with poison, ultimately ending this way. One needed to know that these poisons would only corrode a small lump of meat even when it fell on a normal person¡¯s body. After all, it only possessed E-ss power.

    From this, it could be seen that the suppressive effect provided by the chosen ability of Myriad Illusions was abnormal indeed.

    Finally, when the poison fell to the ground, when the miserable screams stopped, everyone turned around. No one could avoid inhaling a mouthful of cold air after seeing it. At the ce where Sun Jia once stood, what was left was only a green-colored skeleton.

    On the ground were puddles of green-colored liquid, leaving only a green-colored skeleton there.

    That scene...

    Was too horrifying!

    "Shit!"

    Even those people that were fighting against Xu Fei¡¯s group stopped and looked at Chen Feng in horror, afraid that Chen Feng would suddenly do the same thing to them.

    Had it ended?

    Chen Feng ignored them. Instead, he was silently examining that green-colored skeleton calmly.

    A single coincidence, a single perfect suppressive effect, had taken away a D-ss gic warrior. That was reasonable and fair. However, a D-ss gic warrior only had this single gene?

    Just as Chen Feng was contemting this, an even more terrifying scene appeared.

    That skeleton... actually moved!

    Footnotes:

    1. When one advances their ss, they will fuse with a new gene, obtaining a new gene ability. Forming a proper gene system here refers to the act of choosing genes that willplement each other well by either choosing abilities that works well together or abilities that can form a secret art out of it.

    Chapter 100: Murderous Intent Soaring the Skies

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "What damnable thing is this?"

    Everyone was rmed.

    Someone being alive with a severed hand or leg was understandable. Even a melodramatic scene where one whose chest was pierced used one¡¯s final breath to shout "the murderer is..." would be somewhat understandable. However, when one had freaking turned into a skeleton and was still able to move, this was now somewhat horrifying.

    Ka!

    Ka!

    Crisp sounds traveled forth from the skeleton.

    Whoosh!

    The green skeleton looked at Chen Feng. In the empty eye sockets were two clumps of burning green mes.

    "Jadebone Sun Jia..."

    Xu Fei inhaled a breath of cold air. "So this is what Jadebone means!"

    The three genes Sun Jia had were jade, iron, and copper. With jade as the core, copper skin and iron bones were formed, giving him an extremely powerfulbat strength! The weak spirit recovery skill he had used on Wang Yue should simply be some small function of the jade gene he had. The true usage of his genes was to give him an extremely powerfulbat strength!

    "Bang!"

    The green skeleton stomped on the burned ground.

    "Bang!"

    The ground started crumbling.

    Chen Feng and the rest staggered, nearly losing their footing from the shook.

    "This thing..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart was overwhelmed with emotion.

    "Chen Feng¡ª"

    An ice-cold voice could be heard. Chen Feng abruptly raised his head to see that the green skeleton was actually vibrating the air to simte a voice for himself. The tone of this simted voice was very ice-cold and bizarre, though.

    "You¡ªneed¡ªto¡ªdie!"

    Word by word, the green skeleton said this.

    Evidently, the current him still required a considerable effort to use this skill.

    "Mere tricks."

    A cold glint shed in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    Myriad Illusionary Wind de!

    Whoosh!

    Multicolored Wind des erupted forth instantly.

    However, the scene of all the Wind des smashing into the skeleton body was akin to an egg getting smashed onto rocks. They were totally ineffective, including the poisonous des!

    "I told you."

    "Your attacks are ineffective against me," the green skeleton said with a deep tone.

    His strongest core was his jade bone, using jade as the core to create copper and iron and to give him an extremely formidablebat power. He believed that, as he continued breaking through and fusing with different genes, he would be able to ultimately alter every single one of his body parts, including his flesh, and be a true expert!

    However, he had yet to reach that point.

    Now, his flesh was instead the weakest part of him.

    When his flesh was corroded by Chen Feng, the intense pain roared in his mind. He felt worse being alive than dead! Hence, he had to let Chen Feng experience something simr as well!

    "I will devour you."

    "Eating you a single bite at a time, to make you feel worse alive than dead."

    With the faint green light and the two bizarre ming eye sockets that were staring at Chen Feng, the ice-cold tone of the green skeleton caused everyone on the spot to feel horrified. What kind of hatred did he feel toward Chen Feng?

    "Damn it."

    Xu Fei wanted to help Chen Feng; however, he was stopped by the subordinates of Wang Yue. The Shen Wei siblings couldn¡¯t spare any help to him either. Currently, Chen Feng could only depend on himself!

    "Chen Feng, retreat!" Xu Fei bellowed.

    The green skeleton sneered. "Hmph."

    Whoosh!

    Despite the extreme pain brought forth by the corrosion of his flesh, after losing his flesh, his body had became iparably solid, while his speed had became iparably fast and nimble. He had now surpassed Chen Feng in every aspect!

    A sh of a green silhouette.

    Nobody here could contend against him.

    "Pu!"

    A green silhouette shed past. Next, blood sttered out of Chen Feng¡¯s arm.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes flickered.

    "Pu!"

    Another sh of a green silhouette and Chen Feng spat out a mouthful of blood and was flung away.

    "Whoosh!"

    "Whoosh!"

    The green silhouette shed around without stop while bloody wounds were continuously left on Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    Wang Chun and the rest bellowed, "Chen Feng!"

    Damn it!

    This was simply an act of torturing one to death!

    This green skeleton actually wanted to torture Chen Feng to death!

    "Haha."

    A bizarreughter resounded.

    The green skeleton was excited.

    "Are you suffering?"

    "Can you feel the excitement?"

    He behaved like a deranged person as he looked at Chen Feng with excitement. However, he nked suddenly. That was because when he looked at Chen Feng, what he saw was a pair of calm eyes.

    There were no trace of fear in Chen Feng.

    "You really think that I have no way to strike back against you?" With a sharp gaze, Chen Feng suddenly said, "No, I¡¯m merely wondering something. Without flesh, how are you actually controlling yourself? Even if it¡¯s a gic ability...I was wondering what is the medium of connection between this gic ability and your main body."

    "Now, I finally understand."

    Chen Feng smiled.

    "Cheap trickeries."

    The green skeleton sneered.

    "Ah."

    Chen Feng did not mind the sneer.

    "Let¡¯s end this."

    Chen Feng lightly raised his hand and aimed at the green skeleton.

    Regardless of how strong the skeleton body was, regardless of how strong he would be in the future, at his current stage, what Sun Jia used to control the skeleton body could only be spiritual energy!

    If so¡ª

    It would be easy to deal with.

    "Bang!"

    A burst of undtion started appearing in the air in front of Chen Feng.

    Endless transparent Wind des appeared instantly before him.

    A session of transparent Wind des erupted forth. Due to their speed being too fast, they instantly fused together, bing a formidable gush of airflow.

    Transparent Wind de, attribute: Spiritual energy.

    Every single de was a spiritual attack.

    "Bang!"

    The green skeleton was instantly engulfed by a spiritual storm.

    "Scram!" the green skeleton bellowed.

    "Chen Feng, you think you can kill me with this?" He roared at Chen Feng, "This is indeed the weakness of my skeleton body. However, regardless of how weak my spiritual energy is, I am not one a mere E ss like you can act against!"

    "My spiritual energy is much higher than yours!" the green skeleton roared.

    Chen Feng¡¯s mouth curled up in a smile. "Is that so?"

    "Bang!"

    Once again, the green skeleton was engulfed by a spiritual storm.

    Topete in terms of spirit exhaustion rate? Regardless of how strong your spiritual energy is, under the endless Wind des, you still need to get on your knees!

    If his opponent was a true D-ss spirit-type warrior, Chen Feng would have turned around and fled immediately. However, he was simply someone using spiritual energy to maintain his consciousness¡¯s connection with the green skeleton!

    "Whoosh!"

    The green skeleton raged immediately. He wanted to control his body to go and kill Chen Feng.

    Only by killing him would this spiritual storm stop.

    However...

    "Whoosh!"

    However, he merely stepped forth once before stopping. Under the never-ending spiritual storm attack by Chen Feng, he could not spare any spiritual energy to control the skeleton to step forth. Instead, he could only use all his spiritual energy to resist against Chen Feng.

    One wave of the storm...

    Two waves of the storm...

    "No."

    A miserable scream.

    Finally, when that endless storm stopped, the green skeleton was already lying on the ground, to never stand up again.

    Sun Jia, dead.

    "You actually won?"

    Wang Yue looked at Chen Feng with a nk expression on his face, forgetting that he should be scared.

    He actually won? Defeating this terrifying green skeleton? How is that possible?

    Wang Yue couldn¡¯t understand this. Chen Feng was one who did not have any resources or background. This guy who was a weakling destined to be stepped on by him after graduation, how had him be so strong?

    "Then..."

    "Next, it¡¯s you?"

    Chen Feng turned around and looked at Wang Yue, bubbling with killing intent.

    Whoosh!

    Wang Yue quivered in fear before he was startled awake and recalled that Chen Feng wanted to kill him!

    "Chen Feng!" Wang Yue was thinking quickly as he recalled all the actions of Chen Feng so far. "I will give you ten million. In the future, I will definitely not create any trouble for you. Our grudges shall end here. How about that?"

    Ah.

    Chen Feng raised his hand.

    It wasn¡¯t enough?

    Wang Yue became vicious and said with clenched teeth, "Chen Feng! We are both gene producers. I don¡¯t know why yourbat power is so strong. However, I am definitely better than you in regards of gene production! I will be an intermediate gene producer soon. You don¡¯t want topete against me during the gene rookiepetition?"

    Wang Yue remembered that this was something Chen Feng cared deeply about.

    However, what he did not know was that the current Chen Feng was no longer the Chen Feng he knew in the past! Every single thing Wang Yue understood about Chen Feng was wrong!

    "Hum¡ª"

    A Wind de formed.

    The Wind de on Chen Feng¡¯s hand was ready to be fired.

    "What do you actually want?"

    Wang Yue copsed. Threats and bribe were not working. A challenge topete was not working either. This Chen Feng was simply unmoved by force or persuasion. What would Chen Feng require in order to let him off?

    "I want you to die." Chen Feng sneered. This guy had brought trouble to him over and over again. Had he really believed that Chen Feng was someone easy to bully? The moment Chen Feng got ambushed at the Deste Rocky Grounds, he knew that Wang Yue had to die!

    "Bang!"

    Bright Wind des erupted instantly.

    Chen Feng¡¯s killing intent was bubbling.

    "No..."

    Wang Yue trembled and almost peed his pants.

    I¡¯m finished.

    This was the only thought he currently had in his mind.

    However, at this very moment, on his forehead, a plum blossom appeared and started rotating furiously. It flickered with a bizarre light and smashed the Wind des away.

    "Young one, can you give me face and let him off?"

    An old voice traveled out of the plum blossom, akin to a voice from across the horizon.

    This ability...

    The heart of Xu Fei and the rest jolted. This must be an extremely terrifying expert!

    They had never expected Wang Yue to have this kind of person looking after him!

    Instinctively, everyone looked at Chen Feng only to see him sneering. He was evidently not bothered with that voice as once again, Myriad Illusionary Wind des started shooting out of his hand.

    "Bang!"

    Wind des erupted.

    Protecting Wang Yue? Screw you! I insist on killing him!

    A cold glint flickered in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    He wanted to see, since the owner of the voice that came out of the flower had acted like such an important person, was he truly able to protect Wang Yue?

 Chapter 101: The Furious Chen Feng

    Chapter 101: The Furious Chen Feng

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Kill!

    Chen Feng was filled with killing intent.

    Myriad Illusionary Wind de erupted instantly and a session of Wind des shot forth. Ice and fire interwove together as they charged toward Wang Yue. However, all of them were blocked by a blossoming plum blossom.

    The plum blossom spun as it radiated brightly.

    The petals drifted in the air.

    A faintyer of light enveloped Wang Yue. The instant Chen Feng¡¯s Wind des touched those petals, they were crushed immediately.

    Very strong!

    Everyone¡¯s heart jolted.

    "Is there a need for this?" The old man¡¯s faint voice travelled forth. "This child here, I originally did not want to kill you. Why would you provoke this old man here?"

    "Whoosh!"

    On the plum blossom, one petal after another hovered midair and charged forth, with Chen Feng as their target.

    "Be careful."

    The expressions of Wang Chun and the rest changed greatly.

    "Goddamn old chrysanthemum freak who refuses to die!"

    A cold glint flickered in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    Don¡¯t intend to kill me? F*ck you!

    Since he had already gotten involved in the affair between Chen Feng and Wang Yue, they could only end this with death! Moreover, for him to say that he wanted to kill Chen Feng merely because he was provoked?

    Hehe.

    Who was he lying to?

    He was simply looking for an excuse to kill someone.

    Although Chen Feng did not know what this petal was, however, it was merely an ability imprinted on Wang Yue¡¯s body. He refused to believe that this flower here would be truly strong!

    "Killing me?"

    Chen Feng raged.

    Let¡¯s see if you have this capability, then!

    Gulp.

    Chen Feng gulped the aurora reagent down.

    "Bang!"

    A noiseless undtion quietly spread in his body.

    Whoosh!

    The genes in his body burned furiously.

    Surprisingly, this time, he did not feel any pain caused by the permanent decrease of his strength attribute. Along with the Myriad Illusionary gene he¡¯d fused with were also a small amount of trash genes that were just nice to meet the requirements for the aurora reagent, granting him the ability to truly use the aurora reagent in a wless manner.

    Bang!

    Gene ignitionpleted.

    The world before him instantly appeared like a brand new world.

    The whole world seemed to have be lively.

    This was his Virus Mode!

    An extremely powerful mode unique to Chen Feng!

    "Whoosh!"

    With a dense killing intent, the pink petals charged toward Chen Feng.

    Hum¡ª

    Chen Feng slightly raised his hand.

    Multiple Wind des were formed in session. These Wind des proceeded to hover above his hands in a bizarre way. des were constantly being formed before they fused together, turning into a flower formed from Wind des.

    In the Virus Mode, he felt like he was a god! This was an extremely peculiar feeling.

    Forty Wind des with different attributes were like 40 petals which had assembled together in a bizarre manner, condensing at a single point to form a blossoming flower. Under the extreme spiritual control of Chen Feng, they did not sh and explode. Instead, they maintained their shape as they hovered in the air and charged toward Wang Yue.

    Hum¡ª

    The flower collided with the petal.

    "Bang!"

    At the instant of the collision, a terrifying power erupted from it immediately.

    Wang Yue¡¯s petal was incredibly terrifying!

    However¡ª

    Would the Wind de formed by Chen Feng with 40 different attributes be simple? The moment Chen Feng retracted his control over it, those 40 attributes started violently conflicting with each other and exploded immediately.

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying power erupted.

    The sky and the ground, everything before one¡¯s eyes was covered by a vast expanse of white.

    When the light finally faded, a huge pit had appeared on the ground.

    "This..."

    Everyone inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    What power was this?

    It was fine for that old man to be so strong, but Chen Feng?

    Wasn¡¯t Chen Feng only beginner E ss? But the ability he used earlier, its power...

    Everyone looked at Chen Feng.

    Only now did someone start to keenly notice that Chen Feng felt somewhat different now. A different feeling was being emitted by him.

    Currently, three seconds had passed.

    "Worthy of being the chrysanthemum freak."

    A cruel smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    "Then... how many times can you block this?"

    "Hum¡ª"

    One bizarre flower after another started blossoming around him.

    Every single one of those flowers was formed by around 40 to 50 Wind des. There were no repeat attributes in any of the flowers. Just like that, all of them were forcefully assembled together by Chen Feng.

    "Go."

    Chen Feng waved his hand.

    Whoosh!

    Three flowers drifted around in the air as they reached Wang Yue.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    Once again, a terrifying power erupted.

    The earth quaked and the mountains shook!

    Wang Chun and the rest could feel the ground swaying.

    Ka!

    Ka!

    A crisp sound spread from Wang Yue¡¯s body.

    Everyone raised their heads to take a look, and they were immediately horrified. The faintly radiating plum blossom beside Wang Yue had been forcefully smashed apart by Chen Feng as it dimmed.

    It disappeared!

    "You..."

    The old man¡¯s voice was full of anger.

    He had never expected that he would suffer failure facing these juniors.

    He saw the faint teasing expression in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    "Not good."

    An ominous feeling rose in the old man¡¯s heart.

    Although he was not afraid of Chen Feng, if this continued, Wang Yue would definitely die.

    "Go!"

    Old man shouted.

    "Form!"

    The plum blossom shone as it blossomed with its final radiance.

    Ayer of dazzling light formed. The remaining petals of the plum blossom surrounded Wang Yue and dragged him as they escaped toward the camp.

    He had actually chosen to escape.

    "Senior, escape faster."

    Wang Yue was extremely horrified as well.

    Once again, he found that this fellow that he looked down on was actually so terrifying!

    Too dreadful!

    Even this senior almost failed to protect him!

    "Shut up!"

    The old man¡¯s angry voice traveled out from the plum blossom. "That bizarre flower of his might be powerful. However, it is too slow and can¡¯t catch up to us. You only need to obediently hide within the plum blossom¡¯s aura."

    "Alright."

    Wang Yue was still feeling anxious.

    This aura...

    Can it truly obstruct Chen Feng?

    His body was being dragged as he soared up. As he looked down at Chen Feng below him, an indescribable fear rose within him.

    "Escaping?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were ice cold.

    Aurora¡¯s power was disappearing soon. Only two seconds remaining!

    Two seconds...

    Sufficient!

    "Hum¡ª"

    Wind des once again formed in his hands while his Luck Aura was fully activated.

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    A session of Wind des shot out from Chen Feng¡¯s hand. On every single one of these des were formed of dreadful looking electric currents that were flickering without stop. This was the de formed of wind and thunder...

    Their specialty being speed!

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    Over 100 des were formed instantly.

    A sh of thunder.

    Before Xu Fei and the rest that all had a shocked expression on their faces, in front of Chen Feng, a huge crescent shaped Wind de appeared. Its size reached a terrifying three meters, with dreadful lighting bolts coiled around it!

    Was this thing here still a Wind de?

    Wang Chun inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    "Go!"

    Chen Feng pointed.

    "Bang!"

    The wind- and thunder-formed de streaked forth, apanied by the rumbling sound of thunder.

    In a split second, this huge wind and thunder de traveled over 100 meters. Under the extremely formidable power of wind and the extremely terrifying power of thunder, it demonstrated a limit surpassing speed.

    Currently, Wang Yue was already over 300 meters away from them.

    In the oasis, with a distance of 300 meters between them, Chen Feng¡¯s group wasn¡¯t even visible anymore. However, before he could even rejoice in his escape, he saw that the trees behind him had started copsing for no apparent reason. What he saw next was that incredibly huge and terrifying Wind de!

    "Senior, save me!" Wang Yue screeched.

    "Chen Feng!" the old man shouted. "If it is possible, spare one¡¯s life. Do not court death!"

    "Scram!"

    Chen Feng had a bad temper.

    Merely killing someone. Why spout so much nonsense?

    Since you all wanted to kill others, then you all should be ready to get killed as well.

    "Bang!"

    At the final moment, the effect of the aurora reagent was finally used up. All the power he could muster was pushed to unleash the powerful wind and thunder de. That huge wind and thunder de shed at Wang Yue.

    "You dare!"

    The old man was furious.

    The plum blossom shone.

    However, not many petals were left on the plum blossom. Even the final light it radiated could only block a portion of the power of the wind and thunder de!

    Bang!

    A loud sound.

    On Wang Yue¡¯s forehead, the plum blossom shattered with a loud sound.

    Currently, the wind and thunder de still had half its power remaining.

    "I don¡¯t want to die!"

    Horrified, Wang Yue looked at the immense wind and thunder de in front of him. He waved his hands furiously as, one after another, rays of light formed in his hands before finally forming a bizarre symbol in front of him.

    However...

    Bang!

    The wind and thunder de exploded.

    The symbol formed by light shattered instantly.

    The terrifying power of wind and thunder covered Wang Yue and exploded in the air. From high up in the air, a ck silhouette could be seen smashing toward the ground with a loud sound.

 Chapter 102: Greendragon Gene!

    Chapter 102: Greendragon Gene!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Bang!"

    A bright radiance blossomed like fireworks.

    Wang Yue... died just like that?

    Everyone remained in a stupor for a long time.

    That mysterious person that had acted to help Wang Yue was astonishing enough. However, Chen Feng¡¯s hegemonic way of counterattacking was even more shocking.

    So this was Chen Feng¡¯s true strength!

    At that instant, the power disyed by Chen Feng had even reached the level of intermediate D-ss warriors!

    "Abominable!"

    This word formed in everyone¡¯s head.

    Nowadays, due to how diversified thebat power everyone had was, skipping a ss and fighting someone of a higher ss was still something aplishable by a number of people despite it being hard. However, someone who skipped as many sses as Chen Feng was absolutely rare.

    A person like this was simply an abominable existence!

    Furthermore¡ª

    Chen Feng was still so young?

    "Deal with them," Chen Feng said calmly.

    "Don¡¯t worry."

    Xu Fei and the rest exchanged nces before slightly nodding.

    Wang Yue was dead. The remaining people here were simply clowns. They were the ambushing party and had prepared sufficiently. Hence, they would not give these people any chance to escape.

    As for Chen Feng?

    He was nning to look for Wang Yue¡¯s corpse.

    The wind and thunder de possessed an extremely terrifying power. This was something unleashed by Chen Feng with thebination of aurora reagent¡¯s power and Myriad Illusionary Wind de, an attack unleashed when he was under his strongest condition, and could be considered as the strongest attack among all the trump cards he had.

    Despite being obstructed by the petals several times, it still possessed D-ss power!

    Wang Yue?

    He couldn¡¯t defend against this.

    Wang Yue, whose main attribute was spirit, was simr to Chen Feng. They possessed low physique with a physical body of ordinary quality. When attacked by such powerful attacks, they would not survive at all!

    Chen Feng guessed that the moment the wind and thunder de exploded midair, Wang Yue had died.

    However, if he survived, his actual person needed to be seen, and if he was dead, the corpse must be seen.

    "Let¡¯s find him first."

    Chen Feng was calm. If Wang Yue still had a breath in him, Chen Feng would deliver the final blow.

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    Chen Feng headed toward the direction where Wang Yue had fallen.

    However, when he reached, he was surprised to find that on the ground, apart from a huge pit, there was no corpse!

    "Nothing?"

    Chen Feng was bewildered.

    He inspected the ground and saw bloodstains, fragments of clothes...

    All these were Wang Yue¡¯s!

    "Has the corpse been eaten?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes flickered.

    Ground...

    Chen Feng traveled forth quickly and noted a row of irregr footprints and also bloodstains that indicated constant blood loss. Hence, he quickly chased after it.

    Even if Wang Yue was still alive, he only had his final breath remaining!

    How far could a heavily injured Wang Yue travel?

    Furthermore, his agility was not high.

    "Chase!"

    Chen Feng pursued decisively.

    However, beyond his expectations, he pursued for no less than five minutes but did not see Wang Yue at all. If it wasn¡¯t for the footprints on the ground that were bing more distinct, he would almost believe that he had gone the wrong way. The bloodstains on the ground were in higher amounts. Chen Feng could even smell the lingering bloody smell and concluded that this was something freshly left here!

    Wang Yue... was right ahead of him!

    Chen Feng abruptly dashed out of the woods and there, his heart jolted.

    Wang Yue!

    He saw him!

    The fleeing silhouette was in front of him, 10 meters away. Wang Yue staggered and fell on the ground just like that, with river of blood flowing out of him.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

    This guy... was too fast!

    The location where Wang Yue had fallen after the attack earlier was merely 300 meters away from Chen Feng. He had used a short time to reach there. And from there to here, he had used five minutes to arrive.

    He had failed to catch up to Wang Yue even after five minutes?

    What damnable speed was this? Especially under this heavily injured condition of his?

    Wang Yue was on the ground.

    However, Chen Feng had not made his move.

    It wasn¡¯t that he did not want to make his move on Wang Yue. Instead, it was because he couldn¡¯t. This ce was already the zone within the Gic Union¡¯s camp. Around them were at least 10 robots patrolling around!

    Pity...

    Chen Feng shook his head slightly.

    "Di¡ª"

    "Di¡ª"

    "A heavily injured person detected, begin rescue."

    One of the robots flickered with red light as it started rescuing Wang Yue. One recovery reagent after another was used on him and some color returned to the skin of Wang Yue that was dying a moment ago.

    Chen Feng walked over calmly.

    Around him, a patrolling robot¡¯s eyes flickered with red light. It had evidently felt the unusual aura on Chen Feng and had immediately locked on to him.

    Chen Feng was aware that as long as he made his move, the one to die first would certainly be him!

    Currently, Wang Yue had woken up slowly.

    He felt his body temperature and the robot that was supporting him and was immediately in ecstasy. He knew that he was saved! He survived!

    Hahaha!

    What did it matter that Chen Feng was so strong? He had still survived!

    Wang Yue was in ecstasy.

    However, before he could even bask in his happiness for long, just as his eyes were opened, he was almost scared to death. In front of him was a familiar silhouette, silently staring at him, with calm eyes.

    "Chen Feng?!"

    Wang Yue was rmed and franticly retreated.

    "What are you afraid of?"

    Chen Feng smiled faintly.

    "Don¡¯te over."

    Wang Yue retreated in panic despite the robot being beside him.

    "Ah."

    Chen Feng walked forth one step at a time.

    Soon, Wang Yue had retreated to the corner of the camp and was unable to retreat anymore.

    "Di¡ª"

    "Di¡ª"

    Red light flickered in the eyes of the robot.

    It could sense that the killing intent in Chen Feng had disappeared and confirmed that he would not kill anyone. Hence, it did not understand why was Wang Yue still retreating in fear.

    Mhm?

    The game of humans?

    The robots did not understand.

    However, the robots still paid attention to them.

    "This is the camp."

    Wang Yue was copsing emotionally. "You can¡¯t kill me."

    He knew that Chen Feng did not dare to kill him here. However, he did not dare to gamble on that fact. One needed to know that Chen Feng was someone who had, in front of that senior, crushed the plum blossom imprint and almost killed him!

    If it wasn¡¯t for that gene...

    "Don¡¯t kill me, don¡¯t kill me," Wang Yue recited as he shuddered.

    "Be obedient."

    "Why would I kill you?" Chen Feng said as he smiled.

    "You really won¡¯t kill me?" Wang Yue asked meekly.

    "If I really wanted to kill you, could you escape?"

    Chen Feng, who was beaming, ced his mouth right beside Wang Yue¡¯s ear and whispered, "This time, I¡¯m giving Wang Yao face. What I owe her, I have repaid. Next time, don¡¯t me me for not holding back..."

    "There won¡¯t be a next time, there won¡¯t be a next time."

    Wang Yue shook his head frantically.

    So it was due to sister?

    He knew that someone like Chen Feng had no emotions.

    He had survived!

    Wang Yue was drenched all over. For a long time, that smiling face of Chen Feng¡¯s would probably remain imprinted in his mind...

    "Act intelligently."

    Chen Feng looked at him while beaming before standing up and leaving.

    Only when he reached the entrance did the smile on his face gradually vanish.

    Truly unfortunate, to not be able to kill Wang Yue.

    Despite him lying that he had let Wang Yue off due to Wang Yao, despite him leaving behind a deep mental shadow in Wang Yue¡¯s heart, these kind of incidents, if he couldn¡¯t eliminate his enemies thoroughly, there would be endless trouble!

    "Wang family..."

    Chen Feng sneered.

    One day, he would thoroughly clean up the whole Wang family! He believed the opportunity for him to do this would not be too far away in the future.

    Leaving the camp, Chen Feng once again returned to the location where they ambushed Wang Yue.

    Xu Fei and the rest hadpleted their tasks. Everyone from the Wang family that was with Wang Yue had been killed. 46 E-ss and four D-ss gic warriors, all dead!

    This time, the Wang family had suffered a disastrous loss.

    Naturally, the most astonishing thing for Chen Feng was the gene production rted gains he got that Wang Yue had left behind. He originally thought that this mission was a total failure. However, he did not expect that Wang Yue had made extremely ample preparations here. Apart from a huge amount of materials, there was also an unused 4-star E-ss gene form.

    Chen Feng calcted the expenses of this mission and found that he had actually made a profit.

    "Robbing is indeed something profitable with low cost."

    Chen Feng shook his head.

    No wonder there were so many crimes in the wilderness.

    "Let¡¯s return to the camp first," Chen Feng said in a low voice. "Since Wang Yue has returned, the people from the Wang family would probably be here soon."

    "Mhm."

    Chen Feng nodded slightly.

    When they reached the camp, Wang Yue was no longer there.

    It seemed like the moment his body recovered somewhat, he had escaped, as he was afraid that Chen Feng would suddenly go crazy and recklessly ignore all costs to try to kill him.

    Chen Feng was not bothered about this either.

    However, among their spoils of war was Wang Yue¡¯s gene data. He finally knew how Wang Yue had escaped from him!

    ----

    Greendragon Gene

    Ability: Swapping gene attributes

    Summary: Able to choose a single gene attribute within one¡¯s body and swap it with another gene attribute.

    Chapter 103: Unexpected Gains?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "???"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes widened abruptly.

    The others came over to take a look and inhaled a mouthful of cold air as well. There existed such a heaven-defying gene ability in this world?!

    Gene attribute swapping?

    This was too much of a bug-like existence, right?!

    No wonder the Wang family called this gene the "super strong gene."

    No wonder...

    Chen Feng suddenly understood.

    Due to the passive growth during F ss, despite having a lowbat power, Wang Yue¡¯s spiritual energy was still excessively high. Now that he was nearing D ss, it was even higher. Before he was hit by the wind and thunder de, he had quickly swapped his spirit attribute with his physique attribute. With this, he was able to survive Chen Feng¡¯s attack.

    Next?

    The heavily injured Wang Yue swapped his spirit to agility and escaped quickly.

    Despite the heavy injuries he had sustained, he was still able to reach the Gic Union¡¯s camp!

    This ability...

    Heaven-defying indeed.

    "Too shameless."

    Xu Fei was too tired to berate Wang Yue. "I swear on the scar on my head, this grandson had certainly saved the world in his previous life. Otherwise, how could he obtain this kind of gene?"[1]

    Swapping as one wished?

    Too frightening!

    With this gene ability, not only he could be the strongest warrior, he could also be the strongest mage, strongest meat shield, and the fastest scout! [2]

    He did not even need anything else; merely improving a single attribute would be sufficient...

    Xu Fei looked at the data with envy.

    "With advantages, there are definitely disadvantages as well," Chen Feng said, analyzing it. "First, regardless of how strong Wang Yue will be at theter stages, he is still trash presently. Zerobat power, needing others to look after him. Next, although this kind of gene seems omnipotent, without suitable secret arts, the truebat power he can disy will not necessarily be strong."

    "True."

    Everyone agreed.

    "What if suitable secret arts are avable?" Shen Yi asked meekly.

    "Then it will be a truly shameless existence," Chen Fengmented.

    This was indeed an era where everything was possible. Even such a gene had appeared?

    Wang Chun nodded. "Shameless indeed."

    Everyone instinctively looked at him.

    "Ah?"

    Wang Chun was confused.

    "I remember that, initially, this gene should have belonged to you, right? You actually didn¡¯t know about it?"

    Chen Feng was amazed.

    "Please." Wang Chun rolled his eyes. "Do you think that those old farts would tell me the truth about this gene after they failed to control me?"

    Everyone agreed after thinking about it.

    Chen Feng smiled faintly. "Do you not regret it?"

    "Nope."

    Wang Chun shook his head. "After fusing with such a gene, at the very least, I would require the Wang family¡¯s care during D, E and F sses. It indeed seems incredibly majestic; however, in actuality, it¡¯s simply an existence akin to the Wang family¡¯s dog."

    "This kind of strength, I do not want."

    "Furthermore..."

    "I have something better!"

    He looked at the Shen Yi siblings, his face full of emotions.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He felt like he had identally eaten a mouthful of dog shit.

    Ignoring this guy, Chen Feng started to conclude their gains this time for real.

    One set of 4-star E-ss form, this was probably something Wang Yue had prepared for himself to use when he formally became an intermediate gene producer. He had never expected that Chen Feng would be the one to end up profiting from this.

    Apart from this, there was also a huge pile of materials.

    The total value of their gains¡ª65 million yuan.

    Profit!

    As for the operation itself...

    Despite failing to kill Wang Yue, they had achieved their goal. From today onward, he definitely wouldn¡¯t dare to easily make any move against Chen Feng. This single lesson learned with blood would definitely cause him fear, even during his sleep.

    As a whole, this mission had ended perfectly.

    Suddenly, a group of people entered the camp and eyed Chen Feng viciously.

    They were people of the Wang family!

    Evidently, they had received news about this and wereing over to suppress Chen Feng¡¯s group. However, would Chen Feng give them this chance?

    "Goodbye."

    Chen Feng smiled as he greeted them before leaving in an aloof manner.

    Those from the Wang family watched on with their eyes wide open as Chen Feng¡¯s group got on the Ironcloud and left. However, there was nothing they could do! This was the Gic Union¡¯s camp; none dared to do anything here!

    "You need to be careful for now," Xu Fei told Chen Feng.

    "Don¡¯t worry."

    Chen Feng stretched his body. "There¡¯s one more month before the Gene Rookie Competition begins. It¡¯s about time for me to prepare for it. During this month, I have no ns of going anywhere at all."

    Xu Fei: "..."

    He had indeed been overly worried.

    Wanting to kill Chen Feng?

    One needed to be at least intermediate D ss or stronger.

    Otherwise, the killer would get killed instead. Apart from this, they had to avoid detection from the city¡¯s monitoring system as well, in addition to avoiding the Gene Production Association¡¯s detection...

    Mhm, now that he thought of this, he had indeed been overly worried.

    Xu Fei sighed endlessly. "At times, no matter how I look at you, you don¡¯t seem like a freshly graduated student."

    At this, Chen Feng merely smiled.

    Since he dared to make his move, he had naturally prepared thoroughly.

    The Wang family?

    Even that old man did not scare him!

    He wanted to see, between that chrysanthemum freak and Wang Yao, who was stronger?

    Gold City.

    The Wang family.

    When Wang Yue returned covered in injuries, the whole Wang family was stunned.

    Wang Tianhao was nervous. "You encountered an influential family from another city?"

    Although the Wang family was powerful, their power was only limited at Gold City.

    If they encountered some top influential family from a major city, they would still need to restrain themselves. However, the ce they went to was only the Purplewoods Continent, a backwater region, how would they...

    "It was Chen Feng," Wang Yue said in a dazed manner while the whole Wang family was furious.

    "Chen Feng?"

    Wang Tianhao was furious.

    He had never thought that the kid that had been protected by Wang Yao would possess such terrifying power. Able to defeat the plum blossom imprint and almost kill his own son?!

    He was only 18 years old!

    "That kid..."

    A cold glint flickered in Wang Tianhao¡¯s eyes.

    Chen Feng was too talented, to the point that he was extremely ufortable with it.

    "Find several D-ss warriors to get rid of him," Wang Tianhao said coldly. "I refuse to believe that he can contend against advanced D-ss warriors. Get some advanced or peak D-ss warriors to get rid of him."

    "Father." Wang Yue stopped him. "I think we shouldn¡¯t do this?"

    "Shouldn¡¯t?"

    Wang Tianhao looked at him unbelievably, but when he saw the fear in Wang Yue¡¯s eyes, he had an ominous feeling. "Your main attribute is spirit, yet you allowed your state of mind to be influenced by Chen Feng?"

    "I..."

    Wang Yue was timid and uneasy.

    Wang Tianhao berated him. "Trash!"

    Now that his son had turned out this way, it had instead be their new priority.

    "Get several people to apany him to train his willpower."

    Wang Tianhao felt hatred for the iron for not bing steel[3] and said to several members of Wang family, "There¡¯s only one month left for the gene rookiepetition. He must be an intermediate-level producer, and he must step into D ss as well."

    "The spread of the Wang family¡¯s name is on the line!"

    Finished talking, he red at his son viciously. "Train properly. I don¡¯t care whether your willpower is powerful or not, Chen Feng¡¯s shadow must be erased from your mind!"

    "With a shadow in your mind, how are you supposed to produce genes?!" Wang Tianhao rebuked angrily.

    "I understand."

    Wang Yue lowered his head.

    Looking at the meek appearance of Wang Yue, the more Wang Tianhao looked at it, the angrier he became. After thinking about it, he decided to still tell the people of Wang family, "This Chen Feng incident, we are not the proper party to deal with it."

    "Who else can do it then?" That person¡¯s eyes lit up. "Could it be..."

    "Go and arrange it."

    Wang Tianhao sneered. "I refuse to believe that Chen Feng can grow three heads and six arms and kill that senior instead!"

    "All right!"

    That person left.

    Wang Tianhao looked at his son. "Scram and start your training!"

    "All right."

    Wang Yue was anxious, yet he was still thinking about Chen Feng. With that senior making a move personally, Chen Feng wouldn¡¯t be able to escape, right?

    At this time, beside a certain clearke that was surrounded by plum blossoms, an old man sneered after receiving a message. He did not care about the Wang family. However, for Chen Feng to actually dare to provoke his authority, he had to deal with this!

    Otherwise¡ª

    Who would look for him for transformation[4] in the future?

    "It seems like I will be taking another trip to Gold City."

    The old man stood up loftily.

    The next day, he reached Gold City.

    "Chen Feng..."

    Following the information provided by the Wang family, he was able to find Chen Feng in a short time.

    Chen Feng¡¯s daily activities were the same. Basically, he would only appear in monitored locations, not giving the old man any chance to act at all.

    The old man pondered. "Seems like I have to spoil a few of those monitoring systems then."

    However, before he even made his move, he received a message.

    "This is..."

    The old main instinctively looked at the screen. His heart thumped as he looked at it before he ultimately sighed. Seemed like getting rid of Chen Feng was no longer possible.

    "Gene Rookie Competition..."

    "It has entered the preparatory stage?"

    "Chen Feng has clearly not registered for thepetition and has not met the qualifications for it. How could he..."

    Footnotes:

    1. He¡¯s talking about karma. Someone who did kind deeds in their previous life would be blessed with good fortune in their subsequent life.

    2. Here, warrior, mage, meat shield and scout respectively correspond to strength, spirit, physique and agility as their main attribute. The mage here simply refers to one who has the spirit attribute as their main attribute, not the mage in the traditional sense who uses spells.

    3. Hatred for the iron for not bing steel ¨C to feel resentful towards someone for failing to meet expectations.

    4. Transformation ¨C This refers to the process where he tapped Wang Yue¡¯s forehead previously, unlocking his potential. Not much is known about this for now, though. We will see if the author will say more about this in the future.

 Chapter 104: War Preparations!

    Chapter 104: War Preparations!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Gold City.

    In the central public square hovered a huge screen. The advertisements that it had been broadcasting daily had suddenly disappeared, turning into a bright red-colored countdown timer.

    Thirty!

    Thirty days before the Gene Rookie Competition begin.

    "It¡¯s counting down?"

    A lot of people raised their head to look at the screen.

    If one were to say that the final examinations were the turning point in the life of high school students, then the Gene Rookie Competition was the path all producers threaded on their way to the apex.

    It was a grander, more authoritative event!

    **

    Gene Production Association.

    Zhang Wei was arranging the data they had. "Have the invitations been sent out?"

    "Mhm."

    A staff member nodded. "Invitations have been sent to all intermediate gene producers that met the requirements in Gold City or those beginner gene producers with great potential."

    "Well done."

    Zhang Wei nodded slightly.

    "However..."

    "It seems like Chen Feng has yet to register himself."

    The staff member was somewhat worried.

    "Not registered yet?"

    Zhang Wei nked momentarily before recalling that, despite being an outstandingly gifted person, due to Chen Feng not bing a producer early enough, he had yet to reach the minimum requirement of a 20 stars.

    Qualifications to register...

    Zhang Wei pondered shortly before ultimately shaking his head.

    "Let everything take its course naturally."

    "Chen Feng is still young. Even if he missed thepetition this year, it doesn¡¯t matter. However, you must continue paying attention to him. In the next few years, Chen Feng will definitely be one of the tyrants of the Gene Rookie Competition!"

    Zhang Wei was very confident that Chen Feng absolutely had the potential to achieve this.

    "Has the protection n begun?" Zhang Wei asked suddenly.

    "It started."

    The staff member nodded. "Chen Feng, Wang Yue... at least 30 producers from Gold City have been included under the protection program before the Gene Rookie Competition."

    "That¡¯s good to hear."

    Zhang Wei breathed out in relief.

    Protection prior to thepetition was a necessity.

    During the initial Gene Rookie Competitions, this hadn¡¯t been considered. As such, a lot of people were assassinating their opponents before thepetition, erasing a huge number of geniuses! There was even a particr city where a person had, in order to attain the championship, assassinated everyone who proimed themself to be a person of talent.

    Too hateful!

    Subsequently, the protection program was activated.

    From a certain period of time before thepetition up till the end of thepetition, those who registered for thepetition would receive the joint protection of the Gic Union and Gene Production Association. Those nominated by Gene Production Association to join thepetition would receive an even higher level of attention, bing someone none dared to provoke!

    "However..." The staff member paused slightly. "Some problems still urred with the protection n. Before the protection n started, Wang Yue was attacked and suffered a disastrous injury, and he has yet to recover from his injuries."

    Zhang Wei was furious. "Who did it?"

    There were people who dared to challenge the authority of the Gene Production Association?

    Despite it being before the protection n, despite the fact that this behavior wouldn¡¯t be penalized, doing so would still gave the evaluationmittee a bad impression.

    The staff member smiled bitterly. "Chen Feng."

    "What?"

    Zhang Wei had a dumbfounded expression on his face.

    Chen Feng?

    Why had Chen Feng gone to assassinate Wang Yue?

    "Not only that."

    The staff member had an expression suggesting an extreme headache. "At the same time that we activated our protection n, we also intercepted an out-of-town expert sent by the Wang family to assassinate Chen Feng..."

    ??

    Zhang Wei was confused, what the heck was happening?

    "Exin the whole thing to me."

    "All right."

    The staff member exined in detail.

    The affairs between Chen Feng and Wang Yue weren¡¯t something major for them. They only needed to casually investigate it and they would find out the truth. However, regardless of the process or the result of their conflicts, both were equally melodramatic.

    "Let it be. We won¡¯t be bothered about this."

    "With the resources of the Wang family, I doubt anything major will happen to Wang Yue."

    Zhang Wei waved his hand. "Tell the both of them to stop. Its fine to let what happened before the protection n be bygones. Now that the protection n has started, none of them are allowed to make any more moves."

    "Understood."

    The staff member nodded.

    "Remember! We can¡¯t lose any of the people included in our protection n."

    Zhang Wei¡¯s expression was solemn. "It has been a very long time since Gold City managed to be ced in the top 100. The few fellows of this generation could be considered as somewhat talented individuals. Even if they can¡¯t get into the top 10, at the very least, they must get into the top 100. Wang Yue has the assistance of the Wang family behind him; he might be able to fight for the cing of our Gold City!"

    "Understood," the staff member answered seriously.

    Internalpetitions existed within the Gene Production Association, especially between each major city.

    Top 100!

    Top 10!

    Top three!

    Every single one of these rankings was something they fought after.

    The Gene Rookie Competition was the most authoritative grand event for the young gene producers of the current era. Those capable of getting into the top 100 would definitely be the top 100 producers in terms of ability among the young producers of the current generation! These were the 100 most outstanding producers in the whole world!

    "If our Gold City branch wants more resources allocated to us next year, it will depend on the rankings of these people."

    Zhang Wei was filled with expectations.

    This time¡ª

    They could no longer be stuck in thest position!

    At this time, Chen Feng was also checking out the information pertaining to the Gene Rookie Competition.

    The champion would be unconditionally epted into the Gene Production Association.

    What this meant was eptance into the headquarters!

    Not some regional branch, rather, it was the true headquarters of the association. The ce that countless people regarded as the holynd.

    Apart from this, the most important thing was also the reputation gained from this!

    First of all, one¡¯s achievements in the Gene Rookie Competition would be input into their individual information: Ranked xx at the xxth Gene Rookie Competition. This would be one¡¯s defining trademark. Next, due to the existence of virtual streaming, the wholepetition would be streamed virtually and all the viewers would feel like they were physically at the location of thepetition!

    Obscure and unknown person?

    Didn¡¯t know how to generate fame for themselves?

    Here, as long as one possessed ability, one would be able to make one¡¯s name soar with a single attempt.

    There were some who did not even need to get ranked in thepetition. As long as one¡¯s ability was sufficiently disyed, countless missions woulde knocking, helping one to win both sess and recognition.

    This was not just apetition, this was also a grand stage where stars were created.

    "Gene Rookie Competition..."

    Chen Feng was shocked.

    This was his first target here in this world.

    Back then, he had only entered this world. It was something he chose to simply give himself a goal to chase after. Subsequently, as his power increased, he had even believed that it wouldn¡¯t matter if he did not participate in thepetition. However, after he gained further understanding of it, he found that the Gene Rookie Competition was much grander than he had ever imagined.

    No wonder even Wang Yue wanted to participate in it...

    Chen Feng contemted.

    Due to the existence of the greendragon gene, Wang Yue was not a normal person at all. If he were to attract the attention of super experts during thepetition, the Wang family might be able to abruptly rise in power from this.

    Chen Feng sneered. "What a good n."

    Wang Yue?

    A mere puppet.

    Even if he killed Wang Yue, the Wang family could still get a new puppet. Since that was the case, might as well keep Wang Yue alive. At the very least, the current Wang Yue was extremely afraid of him!

    Moreover, even if there was no Wang family, various other powers and factions might still appear in thepetition, making the whole situation messy nevertheless.

    Could everyone be killed?

    Nope.

    Hence, if one wanted to stand tall in this world, one had to grow stronger!

    Hence, he had to build up his own fame.

    At least, with that, regardless of circumstances, he would be able to make his voice heard.

    This... was his bottom line.

    He did not have any backers, nor did he have any background. However, through thispetition, he could fight his way out to create a brand new world for himself, creating his very own backer!

    "Champion..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    Since he wanted to fight, he should certainly fight to be the champion!

    He had gained understanding on the scale of thepetition. Every year, there would be several tens of thousands of participants. However, a vast majority of them would be intermediate gene producers. This fact remained true even in the top 100.

    These were the outstanding ones among the intermediate producers.

    However...

    They were still mere intermediate producers.

    "As long as no advanced producers appear, I will have a chance."

    Chen Feng was confident.

    Despite him being only a beginner producer presently.

    "It¡¯s time to prepare myself."

    Chen Feng was overwhelmed by emotions.

    The countdown period of thepetition had begun. It was about time for him to do a final sprint.

    For example¡ª

    He had yet to qualify himself to register for thepetition.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Light swirled.

    Chen Feng was currently fully concentrated on gene production.

    "Pa!"

    A loud sound.

    Gene production failed.

    "Another failure?"

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    Although Xiao Ying was able to eat the worthless genes for him, when Chen Feng practiced, he would still do everything himself. He would first go through the gene search stage before letting Xiao Ying eat all the remaining genes. With this, he was able to both satisfy its appetite and improve himself.

    However, the gene fusion stage still proved troublesome for him.

    The rate of failure was excessively high despite the fact that he¡¯d had a lot of sesses previously when he¡¯d used Luck Aura.

    "I¡¯m even finding it difficult to produce E-ss genes."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    Under the circumstances where luck values were not used, he possessed quite a low skill level in regards to gene production. Even the vast amount of sesses he¡¯d had in E-ss form production would not grant many improvements to his skill.

    "I¡¯m probably a high-level beginner gene producer?" Chen Feng guessed.

    To produce E-ss forms at this stage, the rate of failure would be extremely high.

    Now, Chen Feng was grinding the aurora reagent form.

    Chen Feng cheered himself on. "I must seed."

    Mastering an E-ss form would greatly improve his true skill level in production. It was something regr 1-star F-ss forms couldn¡¯tpare with. Hence, he had to master this form.

    One time...

    Two times...

    Three times...

    Chen Feng started producing without stop.

    During this period, all his luck values were saved.

    In order to have a sufficient amount of luck value during thepetition, apart from the asional mutated gold ant genes that he produced for money, all the luck values were saved despite his current high rate of failure.

    "I seeded several times previously and am extremely familiar with the aurora reagent. My current sess rate should be around 20%... Not too low," Chen Feng analyzed.

    One time, two times, three times...

    Sess!

    A huge amount of materials!

    A crazy amount of training!

    Using 10 days¡¯ time, Chen Feng had finally mastered this 4-star E-ss form. His production level had once again improved greatly.

    So this was the aurora reagent.

    Chen Feng closed his eyes. Everything that he did not understand about this form in the past, he now understood.

    Up until now, in Chen Feng¡¯s individual data, his production level had reached 16 stars.

    Among them were:

    F-ss forms: lumberbear form (1 star), thundersnake form (4 stars), gold ant form (5 stars).

    E-ss forms: illusionary snake¡¯s scale (2 stars), aurora form (4 stars).

    The illusionary snake¡¯s scale was something he had mastered using the huge volume of materials provided by Wang Chun. Apart from increasing his production level, it was something useless for him in itself.

    Apart from this¡ª

    He only had one unmastered form, the illusionary snake form.

    This was the form for his own fusion. After producing the fusion reagent, it had be useless. Hence, Chen Feng did not n to waste his time practicing this form.

    "I stillck a 4-star form."

    Chen Feng took out a chip.

    This was his spoils of war from when he had attempted to assasinate Wang Yue. Being a 4-star E-ss form and something treated by Wang Yue as his number one form, it was definitely an unordinary form.

    Whoosh!

    Chen Feng directly inserted the chip into his wristband.

    "Bang!"

    A huge amount of data rushed into his wristband.

    ----

    Direfox Gene Form

    Difficulty: 4 star

    ss: E

    Function: Activating the direfox gene, in a short period of time, reduces the agility attribute by 100 points, reduces the physique attribute by 100 points, reduces the strength attribute by 100 points, and increases the spirit attribute by 300 points.

    ----

    "Attribute changer?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted.

    A consumable reagent?

    If this gene reagent was used together with the greendragon gene...

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Chen Feng inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    This had to be a top-notch form prepared by the Wang family for Wang Yue.

    Unfortunately, it was now in his hands.

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "Let me be the one to disy its power, then."

    This gene was incredibly powerful, especially for people like Chen Feng and Wang Yue whose main attribute was spirit. It was able to unleash a terrifying power to a certain extent.

    "Come."

    Chen Feng started his research.

    In two days, Chen Feng grasped this form.

    In three days, under the assistance of Xiao Ying and luck values, Chen Feng had gained an initial mastery over this form. His sess rate had, with difficulty, increased from 0% to a range of 15% to 20%.

    Next¡ª

    Chen Feng started rushing it.

    Fail!

    Fail!

    Fail!

    Sess!

    ...

    Countless failures with asional sesses in between.

    Not leaving his house, Chen Feng sunk into a crazy production mode.

    Time, passed quietly.

    There were only three days left on the countdown screen.

    At this time, Chen Feng had finally left his room for the first time.

    During this half month, he had finally mastered this form. On his status window, his production level had finally reached the qualification to register¡ª20 stars!

    Naturally, his true level had far exceeded this level.

    "I can now sign up for it."

    Chen Feng was overwhelmed by emotion.

    Whoosh!

    He turned his screen on, entered the sign-up interface, and entered his personal details.

    Ding!

    Registration sessful!

    Currently, at the Gene Production Association.

    A staff member was arranging the registration details when a warning window popped out: "Warning, irregr data detected, requesting human judgment!"

    "Irregr data?"

    The staff member nked momentarily.

    Whoosh!

    He refreshed the data in front of him. Next, he saw a peculiar data that he had never seen before.

    "A fresh 20-star production level, fulfilling the requirements. However, 10 stars were from F-ss forms, while the remaining 10 stars were from E-ss forms?"

    "Wait..."

    The staff member nearly thought he had seen wrongly.

    What bizarre circumstances was this?

    E-ss form!

    This was something only intermediate or peak beginner producers were qualified to touch! Now, it had actually been mastered by a beginner producer with only a 10-star production level? One needed to know that, among the producers studying E-ss forms, there were people who had at least an 80-star production level!

    No wonder the system had failed to judge this.

    "Something feels wrong."

    The staff member had a bitter expression on his face.

    "Chen Feng..."

    He checked Chen Feng¡¯s details in the system.

    Whoosh!

    Detailed information pertaining to Chen Feng popped out. Mutated lumberbear gene, mutated thundersnake gene, mutated gold ant gene, obtained the praise of the deputy president...

    "So it¡¯s a genius."

    The staff member was enlightened.

    He remembered that there indeed existed geniuses that would study all sorts of bizarre forms yet would only study those they believe they needed to study and would not waste any time rushing their mastery over it.

    Hence, despite these people being incredibly powerful, their data would say otherwise.

    In his eyes, Chen Feng was one such person.

    "A genius like this..."

    The staff member shook his head slightly.

    So what if he was talented?

    Too many such geniuses had been disqualified at the very first round due to these geniuses only being suitable for doing research. However, those who participated in the rookiepetition were those with true practical strength.

    "Chen Feng?"

    "I don¡¯t know how far you can go."

    "Pa!"

    The staff member approved Chen Feng¡¯s registration.

    At the same time, in the Wang family, Wang Yue was fusing the final gene in his training regime.

    "Pa!"

    The reagent bottle in front of him exploded suddenly.

    Production failed!

    "Damn it!"

    Wang Yue ferociously punched the table.

    Another failure!

    How many times had he failed?

    He couldn¡¯t even remember them anymore.

    Chen Feng...

    He clenched his teeth.

    Originally, he would have broken through to intermediate gene producer at the Purplewoods Continent. Furthermore, he would continue improving, bing a person of outstanding talent. However, now? It had been a month, yet he was still stuck here! Often, when he was on the verge of sess, he would suddenly recall the soft whispers of Chen Feng by his ear.

    He felt both hatred and fear!

    Wang Tianhao red at him viciously. "Calm down."

    "There are three more days."

    "You must be an intermediate gene producer!"

    "Your spirit attribute is much higher than Chen Feng. What are you afraid of? Regardless of how strong hisbat power is, he will still be surpassed by you. Understand?" Wang Tianhao said coldly.

    "Yes."

    Wang Yue lowered his head.

    This idiot...

    Wang Tianhao felt hatred for the iron for not bing steel[1].

    "Continue practicing."

    Wang Tianhao suddenly said, "If you can¡¯t even surpass Chen Feng, how are you supposed to lead the Wang family to greatness?! I forgot to tell you, just earlier, we received information that Chen Feng has already registered for the rookiepetition."

    "What?"

    Wang Yue was viciously shaken.

    He¡¯d thought that he would be the only participant that was a high school graduate.

    After all, this was a rookiepetition for those 25 years old or younger.

    He believed that the excellent special gene that caused his initialbat power to be almost zero was what had improved his gene production to the point where he was now nearly an intermediate gene producer.

    But Chen Feng?

    What was he relying on?

    He had lucked out to encounter several mutated F-ss forms? What good would that bottom-tier trash do?

    "Son," Wang Tianhao earnestly advised, "I know that you do not have the courage to contend against Chen Feng. However, this is the Gene Rookie Competition."

    "This is supposed to be your home ground!"

    "Don¡¯t you want to prove yourself?"

    "If you want to, then defeat him fair and square!" Wang Tianhao said passionately.

    "All right!"

    Wang Yue¡¯s blood boiled.

    He figured it out.

    Chen Feng possessed strongbat power, but so what?

    As long as he did not fight Chen Feng, wouldn¡¯t it be fine? In the Gene Rookie Competition, one wouldpete in gene production, notbat power! In this aspect, he was not afraid at all!

    Chen Feng...

    Hmmph!

    Finally, Wang Yue regained some of his confidence.

    He was someone destined to lead the Wang family out of Gold City, establishing themselves internationally! How could he stop his steps for a mere, insignificant Chen Feng?

    During this rookiepetition, he had to get into the top 10!

    Chapter 106: Must Obtain One of Them

    Gold City.

    In the central square, the countdown had finally turned zero. The new Gene Rookie Competition had finally begun.

    First round, City Audition:

    Picking the strongest producers among all the participants from each city to join the second round. Due to the difference in the size, number of people, culture, and difference in levels of each city, the quota of passable participants of each city was assigned in ordance with their previouspetition results.

    Gold City only had three spots, while the number of participants of this city was 632 people.

    From the very start, thepetition was already very cruel.

    In the virtualmunity, all virtual broadcast courses were halted, turning into personal streams of producers who participated in thispetition. Everyone else could directly view thispetition from the virtual streams.

    With the virtual stream technology, the viewers were almost like they were personally at the venue of thepetition.

    This was also the grandest asion at Gold City.

    At 9:30 AM, all the participants reached the Gene Production Association punctually.

    "Whoosh!"

    "Identity verification."

    "Chen Feng."

    "Verificationplete."

    Chen Feng entered thepetition area assigned to him.

    It was an area with a size of nine square meters, surrounded by ss. Around him were all sorts of materials and virtual equipment. All of the equipment was set in predetermined locations and every single action of his would be streamed for the live broadcast.

    These are the materials used for thepetition?

    Chen Feng looked through all the materials, trying to guess the materials that might be used.

    Soon, the others had entered one after another as well.

    Chen Feng was surprised to find that Mu Yuan and Wang Yue were not far away from him.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. "What¡¯s the matter?"

    There were over 600 participants, how could there be such a coincidence? Hold on, he recalled that Mu Yuan was not someone from Gold City. Why the heck was this guy here?

    "I transferred my ount here to this city earlier." Mu Yuan walked over and sighed as he said, "There¡¯s only a quota of two at my Clear City. Both have already been upied. Seems like I can onlye over here to see how I do here."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Where¡¯s your face?

    Chen Feng felt doubtful. "Why are all of you in the same arena as me?"

    "Focused individuals," Mu Yuan said in a low voice. "Everyone included in the focused protection n was ced here. Although there are a lot of participants, those able to make it to the final three are probably all right here."

    "So that¡¯s the case."

    Chen Feng understood.

    Focused individuals, eh?

    Chen Feng contemted. At this time, Wang Yue¡¯s gazended on Chen Feng. Both their gazes started crossing swords midair, and intense sparks resulted from it.

    "Ah."

    Chen Feng looked at him as he lightly crossed his neck with his right hand, filled with killing intent.

    "You..."

    Wang Yue instinctively trembled, almost peeing himself from the scare. Shortly after, he realized that Chen Feng was trying to scare him. When he finally summoned his courage to once again raise his head, he noticed the faint smile in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    Damn it!

    Wang Yue¡¯s heart jolted.

    Despite pretending that he wasn¡¯t bothered by it, in truth, he was extremely afraid of Chen Feng, even if they were now at the Gene Production Association!

    Chen Feng¡¯s extremebat power, his unending trump cards, and his terrifying strength capable of killing D-ss warriors were still causing him nightmares.

    Chen Feng...

    Wang Yue clenched his teeth. Even if I can¡¯t defeat you, I will definitely surpass you in regard to gene production!

    As he thought of his improvements these days, he felt somewhat confident.

    "Ah."

    Chen Feng smiled faintly, no longer bothered with Wang Yue.

    "Soon."

    Chen Feng looked at the time.

    At ten sharp, the staff members of Gold City¡¯s Gene Production Association entered the arena. The one standing in front was Zhang Wei.

    He¡¯s the one in charge of this arena? No wonder...

    Chen Feng contemted.

    "Everyone," Zhang Wei said as he smiled, "there are too many participants for this first round. Hence, we won¡¯t be conducting individual tests. Let me exin the rules and regtions of thepetition."

    "The first round is somewhat special. The chosen representative of each branch will be the one to decide the content of thepetition. We won¡¯t bother telling you all how cruel apetition the Gene Rookie Competition is. In order to ensure that you all survive thispetition alive, we at Gold City will be focusing on one¡¯s foundation in production."

    "Thispetition will be divided into five stages. Each of the stages will have their own points. The top three with the highest scores will be eligible to participate in the second round of the Gene Rookie Competition."

    "Oh yeah."

    Zhang Wei suddenly smiled. "I¡¯m sure everyone here is familiar with the Bucket Principle[1]. The Gene Rookie Competition is the same. Your weakness will be a deciding factor in your final results in thispetition. Hence, those failing to reach 60 points in each stage will be directly eliminated from thepetition."

    "Now¡ª"

    "We will begin the first stage, production theory. This stage will cover all the theoretical foundation you have built in your career as a gene producer, containing the problems you might encounter in each form or course of your gene production. The full score is 100 points, with 0.2 points per question. The time limit is half an hour. Those failing will be eliminated from thepetition."

    What?!

    Everyone¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    Half an hour?

    One thousand eight hundred seconds!

    Full score of 100 points with 0.2 per question, which meant... there were 500 questions?

    In other words, one needed to answer a question every 3 seconds on average? Regardless of the question one faced, one must finish reading the question and answer it in three seconds!

    No time given to one to think!

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    This was only the first stage, yet it had already shocked everyone.

    "Then..." A smile appeared on Zhang Wei¡¯s face. "Competition begins!"

    "Whoosh!"

    Light swirled before their eyes.

    In front of everyone, an illusory light window appeared. On it were the questions. One needed to choose their answers from the window in front of them.

    Chen Feng took a look, mhm...

    Somewhat simple.

    Whoosh!

    He picked his answer quickly and started seriously answering the questions.

    Regarding his foundation, Chen Feng was still somewhat confident. The rich theoretical knowledge the body¡¯s original owner had and the bitter studies Chen Feng had done recently gave him this confidence. Despite the high amount of questions, all of them were multiple choice and fill in the nk questions. This was something devised not only for thepetition, it was also here to consolidate the producer¡¯s knowledge.

    From this, one could see how much thought Gold City had put into this.

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    Everyone was frantically answering the questions.

    This was the first time they had encountered suchpetition. Hence, they did not have a clear idea on the height of achievements of themselves or others in this aspect. Therefore, all of them were seriously answering the questions.

    Currently, at the livestream area of Gold City in the virtualmunity, the order of the participants who had previously been arranged in ordance to their poprity had been instantly messed up and started being rearranged in ordance to their individual scores in thispetition.

    In 20 minutes, the top scorer had already umted a score of 80!

    Everyone entered his virtual stream and, like they were physically there, started looking at him with their own eyes not far away from him. As they watched him, they found that he had only used one second for each question.

    "Too powerful!"

    "This guy seems like someone from the Wang family?"

    "Damn, these rich kids have indeed prepared themselves well."

    This person was indeed Wang Yue!

    His strong spiritual energy gave him a much better memory. Those vague or fleeting thoughts that shed through in his mind could be easily grasped, helping him to greatly surpass an ordinary person.

    At the same time, the second ranked person was relentlessly pursuing his score as well!

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    Thepetition was still progressing.

    Chen Feng frowned slightly. "It¡¯s getting somewhat hard."

    The initial questions were somewhat simple. However, toward the end, the questions were bing more and more difficult. Up until now, there were even some questions that Chen Feng could not understand. What was vexing was the fact that there were too many fill-in-the-nk questions!

    As for multiple-choice questions?

    Mhm, this was not a problem at all for Chen Feng!

    Chen Feng was sure that, if he had been transmigrated to this world earlier to participate in the high school final examinations, he might even have be a top scorer or something... releasing a book on the secrets of scoring in examinations or something. With his Luck Aura, he could simply guess his way to be a top scorer!

    Pity.

    Chen Feng sighed endlessly.

    He looked at his score, mhm... 58 points.

    Chen Feng sighed. "I have still overestimated myself."

    He had truly worked hard recently. However, he had not expected that his level would only barely be sufficient to pass this.

    From the time when he was still an aspiring gene producer till now, less than three months had passed. His path had been too fast and rushed. Despite his production level being sufficient, his knowledge in regard to gene production was still somewhatckingpared to these youths participating in thispetition.

    Most of the producers were between 23 and 25 years old.

    Chen Feng was only 18 years old.

    And he had only been in this profession for less than three months.

    Whoosh!

    Another multiple choice question that he did not know the answer to appeared.

    After thinking about it, Chen Feng decided to give up on it instead of wasting his luck values. Since he had a sufficient score to pass this stage, there was no need to waste his luck values here.

    Catching the attention of others with a high score?

    He wasn¡¯t in a hurry to do that.

    The Gene Rookie Competition was a productionpetition through and through.

    However, the first round audition done by the branches had actually decided to let thempete in their foundations. For Chen Feng, this was extremely unfavorable. Despite his ability, if his foundations were not sufficient, he would get eliminated during this round, losing the opportunity to participate in the actual Gene Rookie Competition! Hence, he had to save his luck values!

    Saving them for the crucial moments!

    "500 points..."

    Chen Feng looked at his luck value.

    After one whole month, he had only managed to save 500 points of luck value. Hopefully, this would be sufficient to support him until the end of thepetition!

    This was his only trump card capable of helping him make aeback.

    Time passed.

    The 30 minutes ended quickly and the results of the first stage were announced.

    Number 1: Zhang Lin with 96 points.

    Number 2: Wang Yue with 92 points.

    ...

    Chen Feng had a score of 60 points with a rank in the 200s. Mu Yuan, on the other hand, had 90 marks yet was only ranked 13, failing to enter the top 10.

    "Wang Yue actually got number 2?"

    Chen Feng was astonished.

    It was inevitable for Wang Yue to have better foundations than him.

    After all, he had only been a producer for less than three months, while Wang Yue had be a producer two years ago. They were simply in a different league.

    For Wang Yue to get the number 2 ranking, he found this interesting.

    "Your improvement is quite fast, eh?"

    Chen Feng had a toying smile on his face.

    Foundation was still a foundation, in the end, especially the theoretical part of it. Regardless of the methods used for thepetition, ultimately, they would still need to start producing genes. This was what Chen Feng was waiting for.

    From the avable three quotas, he had to get his hands on one of them!

    "Where did all these freakse out from?"

    Mu Yuan had a dumbfounded expression on his face.

    He was already a beginner producer with 80 stars, yet he couldn¡¯t even enter the top 10.

    What a scam!

    One needed to know that only three spots were avable for Gold City. If this continued, he would not even get a single one of the avable spots.

    Mu Yuan wept tearlessly. "Is there any need for this to be so hard?"

    When he entered the Gene Rookie Competition the previous year, this was what happened. This year, it was still the same!

    He looked at the information for the top two rankers.

    Wang Yue, 18 years old, and Zhang Lin, 22 years old. Both were younger than him. The youngsters nowadays were so terrifying? The geniuses of Gold City were even more terrifying than those at Clear City. Damn it. If he had known earlier, would he have bothered with transferring his ount over here?

    Currently, the number of people in the livestream area of Gold City¡¯s virtualmunity numbered in the millions.

    The citizens of Gold City were looking at the two who ranked high above with a stunned expression. Compared to Zhang Lin, Wang Yue appeared to be the one who had truly shone!

    That was because he was only 18 years old! Four years younger than Zhang Lin!

    "So young."

    "Nowadays, even 18-year-olds dare to join thepetition?"

    "Oh, right, I heard that recently, there was something called the strongest gene that was rather popr..."

    "Chen Feng!"

    "Oh, yes! Is he in thispetition?"

    Instinctively, everyone searched for Chen Feng¡¯s name. Surprisingly, they found it. However, when they opened his information with excitement, they found that Chen Feng was ranked in the 200s.

    "This..."

    "Sixty points? Barely passing."

    "He is, after all, amoner. Compared to someone from an influential family like Wang Yue, it¡¯s not the same."

    "True."

    Everyone sighed.

    With this result, Chen Feng might be eliminated in the next stage, right? This extinguished the me in the hearts of thosemoners that hoped for amoner to make aeback against the wealthy.

    They had indeed been too wishful.

    Currently, at the Gene Production Association, with the announcement of the results, the elimination began. Out of 632 participants, only 310 remained. 322 participants were eliminated!

    Looking at the empty arena, everyone felt a chilling cold in their heart.

    "Then, let¡¯s begin the second stage," Zhang Wei said indifferently. "Dealing with unexpected incidents."

    The first stage was on theoretical foundations. However, there were things that couldn¡¯t be theorized. If one were to encounter an unexpected incident with a low probability of appearance, how would they deal with it?

    Whoosh!

    Light swirled.

    The scene before everyone¡¯s eyes changed as they entered the virtual world.

    "Hum¡ª"

    The light surrounding them flickered.

    A fully equipped production environment appeared before them. All sorts of materials and incubator liquid were fully prepared. Even the production process was half done.

    At this time...

    "Bang."

    One of the reagents exploded abruptly.

    Time froze. In this situation, how should one deal with it?

    Zhang Wei¡¯s cold voice resounded in their ears. "In half an hour, 10 unexpected scenarios will be simted. Solving one scenario will grant 10 points. Those failing will be eliminated!"

    As the participants heard this, they immediately started anxiously solving the problem presented to them. Some of them had had simr previous experiences, so they were able to easily solve the problem presented to them.

    As for Chen Feng, he stood there with a dumbfounded expression.

    What was this?

    In a normal production, such a scenario could happen?

    He was totally unaware of it!

    Despite only having less than three months experience, Chen Feng¡¯s sess rate was so terrifying that it caused one¡¯s hair to stand up in anger. Even when he was grinding his forms, he would use his luck value to reach a certain mastery over the form before starting his grind. The various problems one might encounter when they first started with a certain form were something that he had never encountered!

    How should he deal with this?

    Chen Feng tried solving the problem with his own methods.

    "Bang!"

    The whole thing exploded.

    First unexpected scenario, fail.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Damnable unexpected scenario!

    Was he in the wrong for having too high of a sess rate?

    Chen Feng was too tired to even berate this method ofpetition.

    However, he was aware that it was normal for an average person to encounter these scenarios. Dealing with such scenarios was something a producer had to learn. He had to pass this stage!

    "Let¡¯s give it another try."

    Chen Feng tried again.

    "Bang!"

    Second unexpected scenario, fail.

    Attempting once again.

    "Bang!"

    Third unexpected scenario, fail.

    "Is it really so hard?"

    Chen Feng felt his head aching.

    Another attempt.

    "Bang!"

    Fourth unexpected scenario, fail.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Four attempts!

    Zero sesses!

    He was now certain that his production methods were simply an exotic existence in itself. However, if this continued, he would be eliminated!

    Currently, Zhang Wei and some other people were paying attention to Chen Feng as well.

    After all, the name of The Strongest Gene and Chen Feng was too popr nowadays. However, they did not expect that Chen Feng actuallycked experience in this aspect.

    "He¡¯s going to get eliminated."

    Zhang Wei shook his head.

    He believed that Chen Feng had better talent and aplishmentspared to Wang Yue. However, he required time!

    "Let¡¯s watch Wang Yue instead."

    Zhang Wei switched his stream and started watching Wang Yue¡¯s stream.

    A lot of the people here thought the same thing and left one after another. None noticed the gold glint that had flickered in Chen Feng¡¯s pupils before disappearing.

    Luck Aura, activate.

    "It begins..."

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

    In front of him was another unexpected scenario.

    Due to a certain newbie¡¯s mistake, two different genes had reacted erroneously. Now, Chen Feng had to use his knowledge to remedy this.

    How should he remedy this?

    In all honesty, Chen Feng had no idea.

    Anyway, he simply needed to ensure the sess of this production for this question to be considered solved, right?

    If so, let¡¯s begin, then.

    Based on his understanding, an erroneous gene reaction during this step would cause the production sess rate to greatly decrease, affecting the production greatly such that it was near impossible for it to be sessful!

    However, there was still a chance of sess, right?

    "Whoosh!"

    Chen Feng forcefully fused these genes.

    Production sessful!

    One point of luck value used.

    "Done!"

    Chen Feng calmly submitted thepleted reagent.

    Whoosh!

    Light swirled before his eyes.

    The fifth unexpected scenario,plete.

    Next.

    The sixth unexpected scenario appeared. In an experimental production, due to the unsuitable environment, some particles that couldn¡¯t be seen with the naked eye had fallen into the incubator liquid. This was also the only conditioner avable for the producer. Hence, one needed to look for a way to destroy these unwanted particles so that they couldn¡¯t affect the gene breeding process.

    Mhm...

    Chen Feng thought of it.

    The regr method seemed to be something like in ordance to the parameter of the incubator liquid, create something that would not cause any harm to the incubator liquid yet be able to destroy those particles?

    Or¡ª

    There was other method?

    Chen Fengcked understanding on such unexpected scenarios.

    However, when the gene was undergoing the fusion process, as long as the particles "obediently" hide themselves at the corner of the incubator liquid so that they wouldn¡¯t affect the gene breeding process, wouldn¡¯t everything be fine?

    Mhm, feasible.

    Whoosh!

    Once again, Chen Feng forced the fusion.

    Sixth unexpected scenario,plete.

    "Done."

    Chen Feng was calm.

    The seventh time, eighth time, ninth time...

    Chen Feng was going full throttle.

    Soon, the second stage of thepetition ended.

    Number 1: Zhang Lin, 10 sesses.

    Number 2: Wang Yue, 10 sesses.

    ...

    Results announced.

    Out of the remaining 310 participants, 157 were eliminated. Only 153 remaining! Less than half of the original participants remained.

    Another round of cruel elimination.

    However, at this time, before Zhang Wei and the rest had the opportunity toment the cruelty of thepetition, with a dumbfounded expression, they stared at the name that appeared on thest ce: Chen Feng.

    He had not been eliminated?

    "???"

    Zhang Wei¡¯s face was filled with question marks.

    Chen Feng?

    Didn¡¯t he fail four times in a row right off the bat?

    "What¡¯s happening?"

    A lot of viewers watching the livestream were confused as well.

    They remembered that Chen Feng had encountered four failures in a row right off the bat, causing a lot of people to lose hope. How was he still the person in thest ce?

    This was illogical!

    "Check what happened."

    Some couldn¡¯t understand and took out Chen Feng¡¯s records.

    What they saw next was the most ridiculous method of handling unexpected incidents they had ever seen in their life. The method being... not handling the incident! Fusing forcefully and seeding forcefully!

    "This..."

    "What¡¯s happening?"

    The viewers had dumbfounded expressions on their faces.

    "This should be his gic ability," a staff member said calmly.

    Nowadays, everyone possessed gic abilities!

    A lot of people possessed gic abilities capable of assisting in gene production. Some were abilities used in the digitized world, while some were abilities used during the fusion process.

    This Chen Feng clearly possessed a simr gic ability.

    "So that¡¯s the case."

    Everyone felt enlightened.

    However, this was only the second stage and he was already forced to the point where his gic ability needed to be used. This proved that the level of this Chen Feng guy wasn¡¯t particrly high.

    "He will probably fail to get through the third stage."

    "That¡¯s for sure."

    "Barely passing every single time..."

    Everyone shook their head.

    And now, the third stage, begun!

 Chapter 108: Where Is the Problem?

    Chapter 108: Where Is the Problem?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "This stage will be about spiritual control."

    "In the Gene Rookie Competition, spiritual control is extremely important. One could even increase one¡¯s spiritual control at thest minute to improve one¡¯s production skills."

    "This stage will be very simple. There are only 100 points and 0 points. After three minutes, the surviving ones will pass."

    "Shua!"

    Just as Zhang Wei said those words, the scene before everyone¡¯s eyes changed once again.

    "Hum¡ª"

    The virtual world took shape.

    Their surroundings be a vast ocean. Over 100 producers floated on the sea, standing only on a lonesome nk.

    "What situation is this?"

    Chen Feng was in a solemn mood.

    Surviving? What does that mean?

    Hua!

    Suddenly, the seawater became lively.

    Drops of seawater sshed around, a dreadful sounding from them. Something seemed to be seriously wrong with the water here. Once one fell into it, one would certainly die.

    One only needs to survive the sea waves? However, how does this rte to spiritual control?

    Just as Chen Feng was feeling doubtful.

    "Ka!"

    A crack appeared on the nk below him, slowly spreading.

    "Not good."

    Everyone¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Spiritual energy spread out.

    The nk that was going to break into pieces was forced together again under the control of spiritual energy, appearing like a brand new nk.

    "So this is how it works."

    Chen Feng felt enlightened.

    Using spiritual energy to control the nk so that it wouldn¡¯t break into pieces?

    When under such an extreme control of spiritual energy, along with the unending sea waves, the pressure on one¡¯s spiritual control would increase with time. The moment one couldn¡¯t hold on any longer, one would fall into the sea and die.

    This would also eliminate those producers whose spirit attribute was too low in an indirect manner.

    An act of killing two birds with one stone.

    "Bang!"

    The seawater became violent.

    "Ssh!"

    One producer after another started falling into the sea.

    Elimination!

    This was what true elimination looked like!

    The seawater was still increasing in violence.

    On the sea surface, Wang Yue was seated cross-legged. The nk below him was still and unmoving. His extremely powerful spiritual energy ensured his dominance over everyone else, bing someone none could surpass.

    At around the two-minute mark, once again, a group of people started falling into the sea.

    Some used their gic ability to forcefully enhance their spiritual control. However, some of them still ended up eliminated due to the duration of their spiritual control enhancement being too short.

    Out of 153 participants, only 82 remained.

    The elimination continued.

    "Ka!"

    A crisp sound could be heard.

    Chen Feng cursed inwardly as he couldn¡¯t keep the nk below him together any longer.

    Despite his bitter training during this period of time that had increased his spirit attribute to 250 points, the rapid speed of increase had also caused him to be somewhatcking in terms of spiritual control.

    He was even worse off than Mu Yuan.

    "I can¡¯t hold on any longer?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted.

    The aurora reagent would increase his spiritual control to the limits. However, in the first round, usage of gene reagents was prohibited. Furthermore, the aurora reagent only had a duration of 10 seconds anyway.

    Currently, Zhang Wei and the rest had also noticed the broken nk below Chen Feng.

    It was broken, and the crack was still spreading without stop.

    After a few more seconds, the cracks would definitely turn the nk into countless fragments, causing Chen Feng to fall into the sea, closing the curtain of the currentpetition on him.

    "Chen Feng..."

    Mu Yuan was somewhat anxious.

    He was aware of how powerful Chen Feng was. However, Chen Feng was, after all, still too new a producer. Hence, his foundations were somewhatcking. If he failed this stage, he would be in trouble.

    "Ka!"

    Another crisp sound.

    The single nk below Chen Feng had broken into around seven or eight pieces, and could break off totally at any time.

    "This won¡¯t do."

    A cold glint flickered in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    The seawater was too violent. If this continued, he would only die.

    What should he do?

    Luck value?

    Useless!

    In this situation where only pure force was required, luck value wouldn¡¯t have too much of an impact. If he used them to affect the reality instead, his 500 points of luck value might be exhausted instantly. That would truly be a dishonest amount of exhaustion.

    "Spiritual control..."

    "nk..."

    Chen Feng suddenly thought of something. Why must he insist on using spiritual control?

    As long as the nk didn¡¯t break, wouldn¡¯t it be fine?

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes lit up.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng squatted down and pressed his right palm on the nk.

    "Hum¡ª"

    One Wind de after another was shot out of his hand. The Wind des were in liquid form that clung onto the nk. Next, ice des shot out, freezing the whole nk.

    The wooden nk instantly transformed into something as firm as an iron nk.

    Seawater?

    Hehe.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    The sea waves be even fiercer.

    The nk with countless cracks below Chen Feng attracted a lot of attention. A lot of viewers were waiting for the disintegration of Chen Feng¡¯s nk.

    However...

    Ten seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds...

    Right until thest seconds, Chen Feng still remained.

    Finally, the three minutes ended.

    Chen Feng had smoothly survived till the end.

    "???"

    Everyone had a dumbfounded expression on their face.

    Even with that, the nk did not break off?

    Are you joking?

    One needed to know that, despite the nk being something specially created for thispetition, the seawater was also something specially created for thispetition. Based on what they observed from those who had fallen into the sea, as long as cracks started appearing on the nk, a chain effect would be created, resulting in the nk breaking into pieces. It was something one couldn¡¯t stop unless one used their spiritual energy to control it and hold them together forcefully.

    However, Chen Feng¡¯s nk, which had already split into seven or eight pieces, stillsted till the end!

    What on earth was going on?

    Everyone was confused.

    "I keep having a feeling that something is wrong," some people muttered.

    "Yeah. If it wasn¡¯t for the whole thing being streamed live, I would have thought that he cheated," some muttered.

    However, no matter what, Chen Feng had survived till the end!

    The third stage ended.

    Out of 153 participants, only 42 remained. Another round of dreadful rate of elimination.

    "All right, everyone. I congratte you all for passing the third stage. Next will be the fourth stage¡ªpower of observation."

    "It is very normal for problems to arise when one is in process of producing genes. Some errors can be remedied. You have all encountered these situations in the second stage. However, some errors simply can¡¯t be remedied. As long as one encounters such errors, they will fail their production. Hence, this will depend on your power of observation, to notice the problem in advance and deal with it in advance, destroying the error in its infancy. Understand?"

    Zhang Wei smiled as he looked at them in front of him. "Then, the fourth stage will begin. 10 incidents will be simted. Each sessful incident will grant 10 points. Those failing will be eliminated."

    Shua!

    The scene before everyone changed and the stage begun!

    "Hum¡ª"

    Light swirled around Chen Feng.

    The virtual scene formed. It was a scene where a production was in progress.

    Mhm...

    Lumberbear gene!

    A gene that Chen Feng was extremely familiar with. Seemed like the gene used for this stage was the easier genes among those the participants had mastered.

    First step: Gene search. No problems found.

    Second step: Gene reaction. No problems found.

    Third step: Gene fusion. No problems found.

    Sealing the gene reagent.

    "Bang!"

    The gene reagent exploded.

    Fail!

    "???"

    Chen Feng was lost.

    This production failed?

    It did not make any sense!

    It was reasonable to say that this was a gene that he was extremely familiar with. How would it fail? Unless, the hidden problem was located in the environment?

    The lumberbear gene had no problems in itself.

    However, due to a problem that existed in the environment around them, it had caused a certain problem on the gene.

    "Next!"

    Chen Feng entered the second virtual scenario.

    It was still the lumberbear gene. However, this time, the environment was different. Chen Feng¡¯s guesses were indeed correct. This so-called "hidden problem" was something urring due to the environment.

    "Let me take a good look, what is the problem here."

    Chen Feng sneered.

    Production!

    Observation!

    Carefully, Chen Feng did everything step by step. However, he still failed to find any problems.

    Productionplete, sealing the reagent.

    "Bang!"

    Gene exploded.

    Fail.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    What damnable situation was it actually?

    The third scenario, fourth scenario, every single time, the environment would be different. Chen Feng had also finally found some situations that would probably cause problems, however¡ª

    It was pointless!

    He had no idea how those problems could be solved!

    Based on his guesses, each of the simted environment would have different effects on the gene produced. If one wanted to produce sessfully, one had to locate the particles in the environment capable of affecting the production before eliminating the particles.

    However, all of this was something Chen Feng did not know how to do.

    "A same situation again."

    Chen Feng felt his head aching.

    Encountering such problems, even if he were to use the Luck Aura, he would still need to think of how the Luck Aura should be used as his Luck Aura¡¯s usage required his guidance. His next failure would result in his elimination.

    "I need to think of something."

    Chen Feng sank into contemtion.

 Chapter 109: Ending the Problem in Its Infancy

    Chapter 109: Ending the Problem in Its Infancy

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Far away from him, Mu Yuan was encountering the same issue as Chen Feng.

    However, light swirled in both his eyes as he activated his gic ability, Quick Eyes, which greatly increased his power of observation, helping him to instantly discover the problem.

    "Here."

    He easily found the particle.

    Production sess!

    "Increased difficulty?"

    Mu Yuan sneered. Nothing could hide before his Quick Eyes.

    At the same time, in the area, everyone disyed their abilities.

    Facing these problems that were almost untraceable, only by depending on extremely powerful observation and one¡¯s rich production experiences could one solve the problems.

    Shua!

    Some considered the problem from all possible angles.

    Some rushed rapidly.

    Wang Yue...

    Zhang Lin...

    Each and every single one of the participants pushed their limits.

    At this time, Zhang Wei¡¯s gazended on Chen Feng once again.

    Four fails.

    Mhm...

    Exactly the same as the previous stages.

    He did not find this surprising, as Chen Feng traveled apletely different path than Wang Yue. If one insisted on analyzing it, Wang Yue was akin to someone meeting all the official standards, while Chen Feng was an unorthodox existence! However, regardless of how unorthodox one was, one¡¯s foundations had to reach a certain level, or else it would be too easy for one to fail unexpectedly on the verge of sess!

    This was the true purpose of this round ofpetition.

    One who only knew how to produce?

    That was uneptable!

    Those who had not experienced the Gene Rookie Competition would have no idea how cruel thepetition was.

    In thepetition... one might even die!

    Comparatively, the round ofpetition these people were going through currently was too simple. The reason one¡¯s foundation was used as the criteria for elimination during this round was to protect this bunch of producers who were still not particrly powerful.

    "Chen Feng..."

    Zhang Wei concentrated his gaze.

    In the virtualmunity, a lot of viewers noticed Chen Feng¡¯s current plight. Just like the previous times, he met four failures. This time, a lot of those who had left earlier during the previous stages refused to leave no matter what.

    "I refuse to believe that he will still seed with this."

    "Yeah."

    "Let¡¯s sit and wait for his next failure."

    Countless people spectated him.

    What was there to watch with Wang Yue?

    Seeding every single time had instead made it something boring to watch. Instead, it was the Chen Feng who had managed to survive the elimination that had be the highlight!

    What was interesting was that, due to this bizarre situation, the livestream of Chen Feng, a person who was at the bottom rankings in thepetition, had actually increased in poprity, exceeding Wang Yue.

    At the same time.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s fifth scenario began.

    "It¡¯s starting."

    Everyone was excited.

    As viewers, they possessed a field of vision akin to a god and were able to clearly see the hidden problems of the simted environment. Furthermore, they could even know when the problematic particles would sneak into the genes. They found the bitter expression on the face of the producers who failed to discover the problems amusing to watch.

    In the simted scenario, Chen Feng walked to the center of the area.

    He took out the materials and started his production. At this moment, everyone could clearly see some shiny particles sneaking into the lumberbear blood essence.

    "Here ites."

    Everyone was excited.

    This was exactly the same situation as the first scenario Chen Feng had encountered here.

    These particles would sneak into the blood essence, altering the lumberbear gene. If one failed to discover these particles at this point, the subsequent production would simply fail.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng continued his production.

    "He did not discover it."

    "6666666[1], seems like there¡¯s no escaping getting eliminated this time."

    "I¡¯m fainting. I was expecting him to discover the problem."

    Everyone was speechless.

    Subsequently, they saw Chen Fengplete the production as usual.

    "He¡¯s going to fail."

    "Seems like Chen Feng is going to get eliminated for real."

    "Sigh, continuous failures like this. Why hasn¡¯t he improved at all?"

    Everyone had a feeling of hating the iron for not bing steel[2].

    Shua!

    Chen Feng started sealing the produced gene.

    Production sessful!

    The virtual scenario started its adjustment.

    "???!"

    Everyone widened their eyes abruptly.

    What was going on?

    It seeded?

    Shit!

    How was that possible?

    "This..."

    Everyone was dumbfounded.

    They could vividly remember that Chen Feng had not done anything to that particle. They had clearly seen those particles sneaking into the blood essence!

    What was going on?

    "Those particles are capable of altering a certain part of the lumberbear gene¡¯s form. The production shouldn¡¯t have remained fine."

    Everyone muttered.

    Too mystical!

    Everyone started spreading the news and Chen Feng¡¯s livestream be even more popr.

    "I refuse to believe he can still do it."

    "Pay more attention during the next scenario."

    Everyone opened their eyes wide.

    Sixth scenario, began.

    This time, the particles sneaked into the gene during the gene reaction stage. These particles were supposed to react with the gene, altering them once more.

    However...

    It was ineffective!

    Chen Fengpleted his production calmly and... seeded!

    "Another sess?"

    Everyone was stupefied.

    What damnable situation was this?

    Seventh scenario!

    Eighth scenario!

    Ninth scenario!

    Different environments, different particles!

    Dessert...

    Cold environment...

    All sorts of bizarre environments appeared. However, they were all ineffective!

    Chen Feng seemed to be immune to those particles. Whatever particles entered his world would be rendered ineffective, allowing all his productions to be sessful!

    "How is this possible?"

    None could understand what¡¯s happening.

    Look at Mu Yuan!

    When he eliminated the particles, it was clear for everyone to see. He had utilized Quick Eyes, letting the viewers know that the particles couldn¡¯t hide from him, and they ended up getting destroyed by him. The others were using their own different methods, depending on either their ability or experiences. Chen Feng, however, was the only one who solved the problem without a trace or clue as to how he did it.

    One could also say that he hadn¡¯t discovered the particles at all!

    "Gic ability?"

    "How is it possible for him to have so many gic abilities? Don¡¯t forget he is only E-ss, all right?"

    Everyone was speechless.

    At the same time, in the Gold City¡¯s branch of Gene Production Association, the staff member responsible for the virtual programs of thepetition noticed this. The chain of reports caused him to believe that a bug had appeared in his programs.

    "What¡¯s the situation?"

    Somewhat dazed, the staff member finished reading all the reports.

    Ineffective?

    He checked the data. There¡¯s nothing wrong!

    At least, the data shown on the disy window was correct. These particles were specially prepared gene particles; hence, they could react with genes easily. Furthermore, they possessed tracking abilities as well!

    For example¡ª

    The special particles in the scenarios generated for Chen Feng.

    The staff member checked and found that almost all of these particles possessed a certain level of tracking and identifying ability. They would automatically avoid other genes, looking for the lumberbear¡¯s Ao gene before reacting with that gene to alter its nature. This was one of the mostmon interference programs of the simtion program.

    It was impossible to generate such scenarios in the real world. However, in the virtual world?

    Simting a scenario was something easily aplishable. These special particles were extremely lively and intelligent. As long as they entered the simted digitized world, they would absolutely seed!

    Ineffective?

    Impossible!

    There was some problem with Chen Feng.

    The staff member¡¯s expression became solemn.

    Some people indeed possessed gic abilities suitable for cheating. However, due to the sheer size of the Gene Production Association, none dare to do this so as to avoid provoking them.

    The staff member sneered. "Interesting."

    "There¡¯s one more scenario?"

    He looked at it.

    Chen Feng had finished nine of his scenarios. There was still one final scenario.

    "Activate tracer particle," the staff member said calmly.

    "Tracer particle activated," a cold, mechanical sound replied.

    "Shua!"

    A special particle activated its tracing mode.

    Trailing behind the particles in the environment, they entered Chen Feng¡¯s digitized world. With the tracer particle, every single particle there was iparably distinct.

    The staff member sneered. "Let me see clearly, how are you cheating."

    Ten environmental particles, one tracer particle.

    On the huge screen in the office, every single movement of these particles was being recorded. The staff member did not even blink.

    The particles entered the blood essence smoothly.

    Seeking the gene...

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The environmental particles were searching for their target gene nonstop.

    Ding!

    A light sound.

    Found it.

    The environmental particles found a certain gene particle of the lumberbear gene and streaked over in excitement. However, right at this moment, an astonishing thing happened.

    The initial solemn expression of the staff member was reced with a nk expression.

    "Shit?!"

    "This..."

    The staff member¡¯s mouth was opened so wide a goose egg could be stuffed into it, and his mouth remained so for a long time.

    God!

    What had he seen?!

    Those environmental particles with a specific mission had actually been intercepted by other genes, resulting in a forced reaction with the other genes, causing them to fail their mission?

    The staff member was stupefied.

    He was truly stupefied. He had been employed here for several decades yet he had never seen something so astonishing.

    This was how his program was set:

    The target gene in the lumberbear gene would be set as a "beautiful woman," while the environmental particles would be set as a "handsome guy." These handsome guys would be in charge of dealing with these beautiful women, causing her to lose her effectiveness. However, before the handsome guy had managed to approach the beautiful woman, the handsome guy was dragged away forcefully and ravaged.

    "???"

    The staff member remained in a stupor for a long time.

    What damnable situation was this?!

    An ordinary person would deal with the problem when they encountered one. There were also some who destroyed the problem in its cradle in a mechanical fashion. As for Chen Feng? He had crushed the problem in its infancy!

    The fourth stage ended.

    The originally 42 remaining participants had been reduced to the sad amount of 12 participants. What everyone felt curious about was the fact that Chen Feng was still among these survivors.

    And he... still maintained his borderline-passing score.

    "What¡¯s the situation?"

    "Chen Feng is still in it?"

    "I heard he seeded six times in a row."

    Everyone eximed in admiration.

    There were some who were unsatisfied and reported him for cheating. However, in a short time, the staff members replied that no problems were found on how Chen Feng worked.

    Chen Feng entered the fifth stage sessfully!

    "This guy..."

    Everyone was shocked.

    "All right, everyone," Zhang Wei said indifferently. "My congrattions for entering the final stage. You have all passed the foundational examinations. Everyone here is quite the capable individual. For the final stage, it will be a true gene production. We will provide the forms and materials and you all will be producing it."

    "I don¡¯t care whether you are beginner producers or intermediate producers. You must all guarantee 100% sess rate for F-ss form. Hence, this time, the form we provide will be an ordinary F-ss form! 60 points for sessful production. Subsequently, an evaluationmittee of ten gene producers will be in charge of grading you all, deciding your final scores. The full score avable¡ª100 points."

    Zhang Wei finished saying the rules.

    Shua!

    Almost everyone instinctively looked at Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng was finished!

    Everyone had an odd expression.

    "What¡¯s up?"

    There were some who had yet to realize what¡¯s going on.

    "Take a look at the scores yourself," one of them said softly.

    "Ah?"

    He instinctively looked at the total scores and his expression changed greatly.

    Total scores:

    First ce: Zhang Lin, 346 points.

    Second ce: Wang Yue, 342 points.

    Third ce: Mu Yuan, 330 points.

    Fourth ce: Li Si, 320 points.

    ...

    The main point was Chen Feng¡¯s score being 280 points!

    Three times with 60 points and the 100 points of the three-minute nk stage, a total of 280 points. A grand total of 50 points less than the third ce holder, Mu Yuan.

    "This data..."

    "In other words, Mu Yuan only needs 50 points and Chen Feng will be out of here?"

    Some realized the crux.

    Indeed.

    Even if 50 points was a failing score, ultimately, however, the rankings would be decided by the total scores. Regardless of the results of other participants, Chen Feng was too far away from Mu Yuan.

    What was the concept of 50 points?

    Mu Yuan only needed to produce his gene sessfully to get 60 points!

    As for Chen Feng?

    Even if he get the full score of 100 points, it would still be pointless for him!

    Unless Mu Yuan failed his production. However, even if Mu Yuan were to be so incredibly unlucky as to fail his production, the fourth-ce holder¡¯s score of 320 points was also something Chen Feng couldn¡¯t catch up to even if he were to get full scores for this round.

    There were also those at the fifth ce, sixth ce...

    As long as one of them seeded in their production, Chen Feng would not be ced into the top three even if he got the full 100 points!

    "This..."

    Everyone finally understood.

    Chen Feng had actually gotten himself eliminated in such a manner?!

    Despite passing every stage to reach the final stage, due to their total scores being too low, they did not even have the qualifications to try challenging the top three ranks!

    In all honesty, those qualified to fight for the top three positions were only the current top six rankers. The remaining six, Chen Feng included, were merely cannon fodder.

    "To get eliminated in such a manner."

    "Nothing can be done about it, he¡¯s too young."

    "He is, after all, different than Wang Yue..."

    Everyone sighed with regret.

    Currently, Chen Feng had an odd expression on his face as well.

    That was because the Wang Yue who had been terrified for a long time, to the point where he did not have the courage to look face to face with Chen Feng, had actually taken the initiative to walk to him and startforting him. That¡¯s right,fort.

    "Giving up just like this? I¡¯m looking forward to you grabbing third ce."

    After finishing, Wang Yue turned around and left.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Comfort?

    Indeed, Wang Yue hadforted him!

    Despite Chen Feng appeared to be someone whose elimination was sure, there was still a chance!

    The 100 avable points were assigned based on the parameters set by the result of the produced reagent. Reagents with full effectiveness would be given a score of 100. If so, what about those that exceeded this effectiveness?

    He would receive extra points!

    For example¡ª

    Mutation!

    This was Chen Feng¡¯s chance!

    Hence, Chen Feng believed that he only needed to produce a mutated reagent; it wouldn¡¯t be any problem for him to get the third ce. However, what caused him to worry was Wang Yue¡¯s behavior.

    "Something is fishy."

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

    Wang Yue¡¯s previous horror did not appear to be something fake. However, he had suddenly manned up? Had he overdosed on Viagra? Wang Yue had actuallyforted him? It probably wasn¡¯t as simple as overdosing on Viagra. He had probably taken the wrong medicine.

    "This won¡¯t do..."

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

    Too passive! He did not have the resources of the Wang family. He did not have any influence either. He had always been a lone ranger. However, theck of information caused him to feel extremely passive.

    He needed to think of something.

    Luck value?

    Nope, his current luck values were too low. The moment it was applied to affect reality, 500 points of luck value were simply akin to a drizzle, fully exhausted within minutes!

    What to do, then?

    Chen Feng suddenly recalled Qin Jie¡¯s ability.

    Sky Symphony!

    Naturally, he did not have this ability. However, was there such an ability within the illusionary snake gene?

    "Let¡¯s try."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted.

    Myriad Illusions!

    Hum¡ª

    Luck Aura, activate!

    Chen Feng instinctively released a translucent Wind de. The Wind de blended into his body instantly. At this instant, Chen Feng felt that countless voices and sounds could be heard.

    Everything within a hundred meters was akin to something right beside his ear!

    Done.

    Chen Feng steadied his heart.

    Indeed!

    A scouting-rted gene indeed existed within Myriad Illusions! It was somewhat weak, though.

    Chen Feng¡¯s current spiritual energy was too weak. The genes he was able to utilize would be the genes with spirit requirements that were lower than his current spiritual energy. Furthermore, the ability was fused into Wind de. As such, it had an extremely weak effect! A 2-star secret art in Chen Feng¡¯s hand only possessed a hearing distance of a short 100 meters.

    Too weak!

    "This won¡¯t do..."

    Chen Feng started thinking. What if another one was added on top of it?

    Shua!

    A second same Wind de appeared.

    As it blended into his body, his original hearing distance of 100 meters increased to 200 meters! Extremely formidable!

    Feasible!

    Chen Feng was excited!

    Did this not signify that, in the future, he would possess scouting abilities?! He, as a lone person, was equivalent to a gic squad!

    "Then... let me try and see how powerful you are!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were sharp as lighting.

    Shua.

    A session of Wind des were unleashed within his body.

    Luck Aura was fully activated. In a split second, 100 Wind des blended with his body. Chen Feng had the sensation that, at this instant, he hade into possession of a god¡¯s vision!

    Everything within 10,000 meters was akin to something right beside his ear!

    So powerful!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled.

    "Wang family..."

    Wang Yue¡¯s behavior caused him to instinctively focus on the Wang family.

    Vaguely, he could hear some indistinct voices.

    "Chen Feng... too abnormal... must die... digital attack..."

    This was Wang Tianhao¡¯s voice.

    "I can¡¯t... however, Wang Yue can."

    This was the voice of that chrysanthemum freak he met previously.

    "Who was it?!"

    An abrupt shout.

    Chen Feng¡¯s listening in was forcefully ended.

    Gold City.

    Wang family.

    "Hmmph."

    Wang Tianhao had an unsightly expression. "There is actually someone spying in this ce?"

    "No worries." Old Mei sneered. "With the barrier I ced, there are less than three in Gold City capable of listening in to our conversation. And among them, none are able to hide it from me!"

    "This is true indeed." Wang Tianhao¡¯s expression eased. "Wang Yue will still be counting on your guidance."

    "Don¡¯t worry." Old Mei sneered. "That brat shattered one of my plum blossom imprint. This time, I must take care of him. As long as he dares to start producing gene, I will assure his death!"

    Currently, at thepetition.

    An odd smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    Due to his opponent¡¯s barrier, he couldn¡¯t hear much. Due to his opponent being too strong, his listening was even interrupted forcefully. However, what he had heard was sufficient!

    Digital attack?

    When reading the information rted to thepetitions, he came across this.

    This was the scariest battle during the practical part of the Gene Rookie Competition.

    Simply put, this was simply an act of attacking and defending in the digitized world. In the cruel Gene Rookie Competition, the producers might not be allowed to fight each other. However, spiritual interference was permitted!

    Could one imagine that, when one was gene searching, the gene fragments suddenly raged, or even started attacking the digitized world, what would happen in this situation?

    Death!

    Or turning into a vegetative state!

    A battle happening within the digitized world could even be much crueler than a battle in reality.

    The digitized world was simply one¡¯s spiritual world. The gene fragments within were one¡¯s weapons. One could use spiritual energy to control these gene fragments to attack and defend!

    When facing such an attack, if one couldn¡¯t defeat their opponent, one had to decisively give up on the fight.

    This way, even if one failed, one¡¯s real body would not be affected. However, the moment one¡¯s gene fragments were destroyed and one¡¯s digitized world copsed, one would copse spiritually as well.

    One might die from this.

    The numbers of producers dying yearly under such circumstances during the Gene Rookie Competition was so high it was uncountable!

    Furthermore, each year, there were people requesting for the cancetion of digital battles in thepetition. However, this was an inherent part of gene production. It could be prohibited in apetition. However, in real life, who would be bothered with any prohibitions?

    If one couldn¡¯t even master such basic abilities, one might really die!

    Fortunately, such situations were not toomon.

    Digital battles were normally a domain exclusive to advanced producers. Only very few among intermediate producers were able to perform such a feat. These people were those who had mastered such a feat by relying on the special gic abilities they had!

    These kinds of people would be weak in all other aspects despite possessing the ability to engage in digital battle.

    In other words, those only good at only a certain aspect would not be the ones surviving till the end in thispetition!

    However, Chen Feng had never expected Wang Yue to be one of those who learned of ways to engage in digital battle. On top of that, Wang Yue was actually nning to make a move on him. Where did this courage and confidencee from?

    Or maybe...

    The old chrysanthemum would be the one making the move?

    Chen Feng smiled suddenly.

    Digital battle?

    He truly looked forward to it.

 Chapter 111: This Is My World!

    Chapter 111: This Is My World!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Gene Production Association.

    The fifth stage began.

    Zhang Wei provided a brand new 3-star F-ss gene form and the materials for it.

    ----

    Earthworm¡¯s Body Gene

    Difficulty: 3-star

    ss: F

    Function: Using earthworm gene as the core, able to link two same F-ss gene reagents together, enabling the reagents to disy better effects.

    ----

    This was a very interesting gene. Despite having all sorts of limitations with low practicality, its research value was unquestionable.

    After everyone familiarized themselves with the form, they started their production.

    Those capable of reaching this stage were basically those who were incredibly well practiced in F-ss forms. Ordinary F-ss forms wouldn¡¯t pose these people any problems. Everyone seriously started their production while millions of Gold City citizens viewed thepetition, waiting for the three representatives of Gold City to emerge from this round ofpetition.

    Chen Feng, on the other hand, was somewhat half hearted in his production.

    "Has he given up?"

    "Sigh, nothing can be done about it. His elimination is already a sure fact, what else can he do?"

    Everyone sighed.

    Chen Feng was observing Wang Yue with the corner of his eyes.

    Indeed.

    Wang Yue seemed busy, but in truth, he had yet to truly start his production either.

    He was waiting for Chen Feng.

    Interesting. Chen Feng smiled. So youforted me because you were afraid that I wouldn¡¯t bother with starting my production? If that¡¯s the case, I will do as you wish.

    "Shua!"

    Chen Feng took the blood essence out.

    "Bang!"

    Light swirled before his eyes and Chen Feng entered the digitized world.

    His digitized world was currently in a chaotic state. The freshly extracted blood essence genes filled every nook of the vast world, wandering around unceasingly.

    This was an unconstructed digitized world.

    There was no sky.

    There was no earth.

    A vast expanse of primal chaos.

    "Shua!"

    Chen Feng waved his hand.

    He started the gene search step. However, at this very moment.

    "Bang!"

    Crack appeared midair.

    A huge hole appeared in the chaotic digitized world. A lofty silhouette split his own digitized world and entered here with a plum blossom below his foot.

    This person was precisely Wang Yue!

    Currently, at thepetition venue, Zhang Wei was suddenly startled awake.

    "Digital battle?"

    Zhang Wei¡¯s expression changed greatly. He had never expected someone would dare to engage in digital battle in the very first round ofpetition. This was an act of putting one¡¯s life on the line!

    It was still the very first round!

    "Are they going insane?"

    Zhang Wei checked carefully and found with shock that it was actually Wang Yue making a move against Chen Feng.

    "Damn it!"

    Zhang Wei¡¯s first reaction was to stop it. However, he was stopped by the producer beside him.

    "It¡¯s improper," the producer said in a low voice. "They haven¡¯t vited any rules; we can¡¯t get involved in it."

    "But..."

    Zhang Wei was burning with anxiety.

    Chen Feng was an incredibly talented person. Despite not having any achievements in this year¡¯spetition, in the next few years, he would definitely have some aplishments in thepetition. If something happened to him now...

    He couldn¡¯t imagine it!

    "Don¡¯t be reckless." The producer stopped Zhang Wei. "Both are rookies that graduated from high school. What are you afraid of?"

    "I hope you¡¯re right."

    Zhang Wei was anxious.

    Rookie?

    Chen Feng was definitely one. However, Wang Yue...

    As he recalled the conflict between Chen Feng and Wang Yue his underlings had reported previously, he could feel that something troublesome was going to happen this time. Chen Feng, I hope you can hold on.

    Zhang Wei quickly submitted the report to the higher authorities, hoping that this battle could be stopped as soon as possible.

    Currently, in the digitized world, Wang Yue stood on the plum blossom, akin to God¡¯s child.

    "Chen Feng." When Wang Yue felt the formidable power flowing within himself, he almost moaned these words out. "Haha, do you know? I have waited for this moment for a long time. Waiting toe here to kill you!"

    He had suffered too crushing a defeat in Chen Feng¡¯s hand!

    One time after another!

    Never a single victory!

    Hence, when Old Mei had agreed to apany him as he made his move, he agreed without hesitation. He knew that this was the best chance to kill Chen Feng.

    "Is that so?" Chen Feng sighed. "Wang Yao should be very disappointed, right?"

    "How does this have anything to do with her?" Killing intent was spilling out from Wang Yue. "If it wasn¡¯t for her help, you would have been dead a long time ago! Hmmph. In the real world, I can¡¯t kill you. However, we are now in the digitized world!"

    "Here... is my home ground!"

    "Bang!"

    The empty space started copsing while Wang Yue¡¯s digitized world descended!

    Instantly, both digitized worlds ovepped with each other.

    Different from Chen Feng¡¯s chaotic digitized world, Wang Yue¡¯s digitized world was something that already had a basic foundational structure, despite the structures being rather crude.

    "Bang!"

    Earth formed under their feet.

    In the sky, the doubled amount of genes mixed together, wandering around the air. Due to the appearance of unfamiliar auras around them, the original genes of both digitized worlds started bing irritated and unstable.

    Gene mix!

    This was the collision of two digitized worlds!

    "Condense!"

    Wang Yue pointed midair.

    Shua!

    Gene fragments started condensing and formed a light sword in Wang Yue¡¯s hand.

    The sword shed.

    A huge amount of gene fragments were crushed.

    This was an attacking method used in the digitized world, and also an aspect where Wang Yue was superior to Chen Feng. He was sure that Chen Feng had definitely not learnt something regarding to this aspect!

    "First, destroying your genes. Next, killing you."

    Wang Yue sneered.

    Shua!

    The plum blossom below his foot shone brightly, illuminating the whole digitized world.

    "This is..."

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

    "Haha." Wang Yueughed heartily. "The whole digitized world has been locked by me. You won¡¯t be able to escape. Here, I will destroy everything you have, destroying you forever!"

    So this was the case.

    Chen Feng looked at the plum blossom below Wang Yue.

    Interesting. Is this something that belonged to that old man?

    "Shua!"

    Another group of genes were destroyed by Wang Yue. He looked at Chen Feng with an odd expression. "Are you not afraid?"

    He had an odd feeling.

    Chen Feng was too calm.

    From the very beginning, Chen Feng was not flustered at all at his act of stepping into the digitized world or him using the plum blossom¡¯s power to lock both their digitized world!

    "Why should I be afraid?" Chen Feng smiled as he said, "You are here to deliver your death. What should I be afraid of?"

    "Deliver my death?" Wang Yue sneered. "You indeed have a deep understanding of the digitized world. Hence, you are not startled by all this. You believe that you have a trump card, so there is no need to be afraid of me, right?"

    "I guessed correctly," Wang Yue said indifferently. "However, do you truly believe that I¡¯m the only one here?"

    "Hum¡ª"

    The plum blossom started spinning.

    Light flickered, and the light shining from the plum blossom transformed into the silhouette of that old man.

    "It¡¯s you."

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. No wonder Wang Yue was so confident.

    "Little friend," Old Mei said indifferently. "You destroyed one of my plum blossom imprints. Today, I¡¯m here to repay you."

    "Shua!"

    He raised his hand.

    The whole digitized world rocked.

    "Despite this being a mere projection," Old Mei said arrogantly, "despite me being able to only unleash a small part of my power through Wang Yue, it is enough to kill you."

    "Bang!"

    Old Mei¡¯s body shined brightly.

    Around him, countless gene fragments condensed and targeted Chen Feng.

    Shua!

    A sword shed down with an overwhelming might.

    Half the digitized world seemed to copse under the might of this sh. This was the power of Old Mei. He was far better in digital battlespared to Chen Feng and Wang Yue.

    "Die."

    The huge sword descended loudly.

    Ka!

    Ka!

    The air trembled.

    The whole digitized world trembled.

    Excitement was stered all over Wang Yue¡¯s face. This Chen Feng that had been stepping on him for so long was going to finally die? However, as he looked at him, he was immediately stupefied.

    The huge sword shed downward.

    However...

    It did notnd.

    The impressive looking huge gic sword had stopped right in front of Chen Feng.

    Countless gene fragments floated in front of Chen Feng and blocked the huge sword. Akin to a group of gene midgets, they blocked Old Mei¡¯s attack!

    "How is that possible?"

    Old Mei¡¯s expression changed slightly.

    How could a beginner producer like Chen Feng possess such powerful control? There were several tens of thousands of genes in a digitized world. Even he would only be able to control several thousands of these genes. As for Chen Feng? The amount of genes used during this defense alone was no less than the maximum amount he could control!

    "Is there anything that is truly impossible?" Chen Feng smiled faintly. "I have been waiting for you all for a long time."

    Control?

    He did not need control.

    He had not learnt any digital battle techniques. However, so what?

    The genes itself were something that would wander around randomly. He only needed to activate his Luck Aura and those genes would "coincidentally" wander to where he needed them to be.

    Chen Feng might need to hold back due to various reasons in real life.

    He did not have sufficient luck value anyway.

    But here? In the digitized world?

    Sorry, but he was undefeated here.

    "Goodbye."

    Chen Feng smiled calmly.

    "Bang!"

    A sea of gene fragments flooded Old Mei and Wang Yue.

    Chapter 112: Total Annihtion

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Not good."

    Wang Yue¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    "Bang!"

    A countless amount of genes pierced through his body.

    This was a digitized world. Despite being pierced by genes, he was still alive. However, he could acutely feel that his spirit body had be extremely weak.

    "Save me!"

    "Old Mei, save me!"

    Wang Yue looked at Old Mei.

    However, when he turned his head around, he was rmed to find that the Old Mei that he regarded as someone omnipotent was unexpectedly fleeing as well, cutting a sorry figure as he escaped.

    "How is this possible?!"

    He almost lost his voice. That was Old Mei!

    "Damn it!"

    Old Mei¡¯s expression was unsightly.

    He had indeed noticed Wang Yue¡¯s predicament. However, what could he do?

    Due to the limitations of Wang Yue¡¯s body, in order to avoid detection by the Gene Production Association, he could only store a small amount of energy in the plum blossom. Any extra energy would end up being discovered!

    However, even this much stored energy was already very powerful!

    With this, Old Mei wouldn¡¯t even fear those ordinary advanced producers.

    However...

    He never imagined this.

    This Chen Feng, who was only a beginner producer, could actually control the whole digitized world. All the genes in the digitized world could be ordered around by him as he wished!

    What damnable situation was this?

    He had no idea.

    "Bang!"

    Another wave containing a huge amount of genes came crushing down on him.

    Old Mei could only dodge in a wretched manner, one scar after another appearing on his body.

    They wanted to flee. However, with sorrow, they found that the whole digitized world had already been locked down by the plum blossom previously. Before the battle ended, there was simply no way of lifting the lockdown.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    Two more torrents of gene fragments descended upon them.

    "Pu!"

    Wang Yue became even weaker from this.

    "Chen Feng, don¡¯t kill me!" Wang Yue was horrified. "I am wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have looked for you. This old man was the one who looked for my father, persuading my father to agree to this. I also refused them at that time..."

    "Don¡¯t kill me."

    Wang Yue started speaking incoherently.

    Chen Feng merely stared at him coldly.

    How many times had it been?

    "Too much of my patience has been worn down by you."

    Chen Feng shook his head.

    "Hum¡ª"

    A current of gene fragments emerged from Chen Feng¡¯s hand.

    Wang Yue retreated in a sorry manner, horror stered all over his face.

    "Bang!"

    Chen Feng waved his hand.

    A huge volume of gene currents submerged Wang Yue.

    "Pu!"

    Finally, the fleeing figure of Wang Yue stopped.

    On his chest, a huge hole appeared.

    "I..."

    Wang Yue rubbed his chest with his hand with an unbelieving expression. He was punctured? One needed to know that a spirit body was something that would restore itself automatically. Now that his spirit body was punctured, it could only mean that...

    Trembling, Wang Yue raised his head to find that his spirit body was now almost translucent.

    His spiritual energy was copsing.

    "No, it can¡¯t be."

    Wang Yue howled in a deranged manner, "I can¡¯t die. I am a future expert! I am the one who will lead the Wang family to greatness! How can I die here?"

    "Ah."

    Chen Feng sneered.

    Xiu!

    Another gene current pierced through Wang Yue.

    At that, the body of the deranged Wang Yue stopped its movement eternally.

    Thump.

    Wang Yue fell to the ground.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    Next, the whole digitized world started rocking.

    This was a world formed through the ovep of both their digitized worlds. With Wang Yue¡¯s death, everything in his digitized world was copsing.

    Some of them had also blended into Chen Feng¡¯s world permanently!

    "Good chance."

    Old Mei was pleasantly surprised.

    With Wang Yue¡¯s death and the removal of the lockdown, he could finally escape.

    "Shua!"

    A sh of light.

    He turned into a plum blossom and escaped frantically. However, with a wave of Chen Feng¡¯s hand, a huge volume of gene currents surrounded him, blocking all the ways out.

    "Chen Feng!"

    Old Mei screeched. "You are courting death!"

    "Scram!"

    The glow on the plum blossom flickered unceasingly, destroying one iing gene current after another. However, the amount of gene currents Chen Feng was capable of controlling were too much, so much that he was horrified.

    Even those currently masterless ex-genes of Wang Yue¡¯s had started blocking him as well.

    "How is this possible?"

    Old Mei paled.

    Chen Feng could even control Wang Yue¡¯s genes?

    What type of freak was this?

    He was aware that things were getting troublesome. If he remained, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to escape anymore. Chen Feng¡¯s strength had far exceeded his expectations.

    He had to leave!

    A cold glint flickered in Old Mei¡¯s eyes.

    Hu¡ª

    He inhaled.

    "Chen Feng, you forced me."

    The plum blossom blossomed abruptly.

    A peculiar stamen in the core of the plum blossom started shining. It was a purple-colored awn that was flickering with a terrifying radiance, a bewitching power emitting out of it.

    "Hum¡ª"

    The purple awn shone.

    A huge amount of gene fragments emerged at this instant.

    "You like to control them, right?" Old Mei sneered. "Let me see how much you can control!"

    "Bang!"

    Countless amounts of gene fragments charged at Chen Feng. As a response, Chen Feng controlled his gene currents to block them. However, since there were too many genes this time, he nearly failed to block them.

    Old Mei took this chance to flee quickly.

    However, right at this moment, a sh of red light appeared.

    Xiu!

    The red light flickered.

    "What?"

    Before Old Mei could even react to it, he discovered with horror that the gene fragments released by the purple stamen had instantly andpletely disappeared.

    In the air, a bizarre red light was flickering unceasingly.

    "What thing is that?"

    Old Mei was shocked. They had disappeared?

    Those were the total gene fragments contained in a single drop of blood essence!

    There were at least several tens of thousands of gene fragments there! That was his trump card in the digitized world, yet that bizarre red light had caused all of them to disappear in an instant?

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    The red mirage flickered in the air.

    Hua¡ª

    A familiar gene current appeared and surrounded him.

    "Seems like you won¡¯t be able to escape."

    Chen Feng smiled faintly as he walked on the empty air toward Old Mei.

    "Chen Feng, if you dare to kill this plum blossom, I will be hunting you until the end of times!" Old Mei shouted with a sharp voice. "This is only a clone I left on Wang Yue¡¯s body. Even if you were to kill this body, it¡¯s pointless. If you were to let this clone of mine leave, our grudges end here."

    "Hehe."

    Chen Feng sneered.

    Shua!

    He stretched his hand and grabbed the plum blossom.

    "Chen Feng!" Old Mei called ferociously.

    "Clone, eh?" Chen Feng smiled faintly. "I doubt a clone could follow Wang Yue in here, right? If it is a clone, why would you be so afraid? This thing here, even if it¡¯s not your main body..."

    "It is definitely something you treasure."

    "I am very curious. If I were to crush it, what would happen?" Chen Feng said toyingly.

    Old Mei was even more horrified now. "Don¡¯t!"

    "Don¡¯t you know, from the moment you appeared, pretending to be so high and above, trying to kill me, you should have thought of such an ending." Chen Feng was extremely eager to give it a try. "Seeing you so afraid, I am even more curious now."

    "You can¡¯t!" Old Mei¡¯s voice became rushed. "Chen Feng, I am not joking! This item is my treasured object. The energy contained within is extremely terrifying. If you were to destroy it, something major will happen!"

    "So that¡¯s the case?"

    Chen Feng was astonished.

    There seemed to be some degree of credibility to Old Mei¡¯s words.

    "It¡¯s true." Old Mei breathed out in relief, now that Chen Feng was willing to talk, everything would be fine. "If you let go of me¡ª"

    "Ka cha!"

    A crisp sound.

    The plum blossom cracked.

    "Hey?" Chen Feng had a distracted expression on his face before he looked innocently at Old Mei. "I¡¯m really sorry. My hand slipped..."

    "Chen Feng!!!"

    Old Mei¡¯s whole body trembled as he looked in horror at the plum blossom he had temporarily resided in. At this instant, the plum blossom had cracked into pieces and a bizarre energy started leaking out of it.

    "Bang!"

    Suddenly, a huge amount of energy exploded.

    At the same time.

    Gene Production Association, Gold City branch.

    At thepetition, under the view of millions of spectators, under the nervous gazes of Zhang Wei and the rest, an expression of pain appeared on Wang Yue¡¯s face.

    "Something happened!"

    The heart of Zhang Wei and the rest jumped.

    From the moment Wang Yue had initiated the digital battle, he had guessed that something might happen. However, he did not expect that the one to ultimately have something happen to him would be Wang Yue.

    Screw it.

    "Save him!" Zhang Wei said urgently.

    "Understood."

    The medical personnel that had been prepared in advance went over.

    However, right at this moment, a terrifying gush of energy bloomed in Wang Yue¡¯s brain. That terrifying energy caused everyone there, including Zhang Wei, to have a huge change in their expressions.

    "This gush of energy..."

    Everyone retreated in rm.

    "Pu!"

    With a loud stuffy sound, Wang Yue¡¯s head abruptly exploded, like a crushed watermelon.

    Blood sttered around.

    Chapter 113: If I Don¡¯t Kill You, I Will Cease to Be a Human!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    Everyone was dumbfounded.

    Dead?

    Wang Yue had died just like that? To die in thepetition at the Gene Production Association¡¯s arena on top of it?

    Everyone¡¯s hearts jolted violently.

    They knew that something major had happened!

    "Damn it!"

    Zhang Wei and the rest were furious.

    That familiar aura earlier...

    Plum blossom...

    "It¡¯s Old Mei!"

    Zhang Wei was filled with killing intent.

    That old fool dared to make his move on Chen Feng and Wang Yue? Although they didn¡¯t know the reason for it, for him to dare to make his move at the Gene Production Association, he was provoking them!

    "Request for backup to hunt him down immediately!"

    "Understood."

    How many years had it been since someone had provoked the association?

    Even if they were only a branch, Old Mei was still nevertheless courting death!

    At the same time, Gold City, the Wang family.

    Old Mei, who was originally seated cross legged in slumber, suddenly looked like he had aged more than ten years and started violently vomiting blood.

    Wang Tianhao was startled awake. "What happened to you?"

    "Scram!" Old Mei was furious and his killing intent soared to the skies. "Chen Feng scum, you dare?"

    Too hateful!

    This little bastard actually...

    However, after a short instant, he felt a soaring killing intent envelope this area. The people from the Gene Production Association had arrived.

    Old Mei¡¯s expression changed greatly. "Not good."

    Flee!

    Without hesitation, he turned around and fled, leaving Wang Tianhao there with a dumbfounded expression. What on earth had happened?

    "Bang!"

    The ground shook.

    A big group of people started chasing after Old Mei.

    One of the staff members remained. "Wang Tianhao, what rtionship do you have with this old fool?"

    "Old fool?" Wang Tianhao widened his eyes. "Even if you are from the Gene Production Association, there¡¯s no need to be so unrestrained, right? Old Mei can be considered a person of fame, that senior..."

    "Senior?" The staff member¡¯s expression became even odder. "You are calling him senior?"

    Wang Tianhao sneered. "What¡¯s the matter?"

    "No, nothing." The staff member praised Wang Tianhao, "You truly have a big heart."

    "???"

    Wang Tianhao was confused.

    Finally, when Wang Tianhao received the news from his butler and saw the scene of his son¡¯s death, he was bursting with rage. Especially when he saw that familiar looking energy that had exploded out of his son¡¯s head.

    "Old bastard!"

    "If I don¡¯t kill you, I will cease to be a human!"

    His rage-filled roar soared to the skies.

    Wang Yue was dead.

    Dead in Old Mei¡¯s hands. This was what everyone had seen with their own eyes.

    What?

    It was Chen Feng?

    Who would believe that?

    The Old Mei that escaped with heavy injuries had carried all the me on behalf of Chen Feng.

    "Damn it!"

    Old Mei rubbed his chest.

    It was stained with blood.

    When Chen Feng crushed the plum blossom¡¯s core, he had suffered grave injuries. Now that he was being hunted by the Gic Union and the Gene Production Association, things were truly getting dangerous.

    Defending himself?

    Pointless!

    Telling them his initial target was actually Chen Feng?

    He was still going to die.

    Sigh.

    Bitterness was stered all over Old Mei¡¯s face. He had never expected that the him that was still filled with splendour yesterday would end up in such circumstances today! This Chen Feng was indeed abnormal!

    "Xiu!"

    A silhouette of light shed in the distance.

    The Old Mei that had not even rested for a minute once again fled frantically.

    He couldn¡¯t die!

    He couldn¡¯t die in such manner at such a ce!

    Currently, at the Gene Production Association, Wang Yue¡¯s corpse was already cleaned up. Death was very normal in the Gene Rookie Competition. However, those who died in the first round, and to die in such manner...Was something never seen before.

    "Increase our vignce," Zhang Wei said coldly.

    "Understood."

    The staff members had solemn expressions on their faces.

    Despite Old Mei¡¯s strength being far above them, now that something had happened, they needed to bear the responsibility for it. Something simr could never happen again.

    Zhang Wei looked at the investigator. "Has it been investigated clearly?"

    "No." The investigator shook his head, "I told my team members to investigate properly. The recordings have been checked as well. No abnormality is found. However, Old Mei¡¯s aura appeared at the same time on Chen Feng and Wang Yue¡¯s body. Our tentative conclusion is that his targets are Chen Feng and Wang Yue."

    "Is that so?"

    Killing intent was surging in Zhang Wei¡¯s eyes.

    The geniuses of Gold City are already low in amount. Now, you even want to kill them off?

    "Strengthen the protection!"

    "Thepetition will continue. However, it can¡¯t be affected in any way," Zhang Wei said in a deep voice.

    "Understood," the staff member answered solemnly.

    Currently.

    The virtual streaming room was in an uproar, especially after the results of the investigation were announced.

    Old Mei?

    Such an expert had actually appeared here!

    Furthermore, he was trying to kill Chen Feng and Wang Yue?

    Was he insane?

    "How could it turn out this way?"

    "I¡¯m not sure. It is said that Old Mei was very close to the Wang family and had just escaped from the Wang family earlier. This was probably due to some inner conflict within the Wang family."

    "Another internal strife?"

    "Probably. Ever since Old Wang got seriously ill, the Wang family has been in a mess. Two days ago, when Old Wang finally passed away, the whole Wang family almost erupted in war then and there."

    "So that¡¯s the case."

    Everyone was interested in gossip.

    Every year, casualties would appear in the Gene Rookie Competition. They had long be ustomed to this. The reason this incident attracted everyone¡¯s attention was due to a third party being the one who got involved in it, viting the rules. However, with the hunt initiated on Old Mei, this incident was put to a stop here.

    Wang Yue?

    He was forgotten in a short time.

    "It¡¯s going to end soon, right?"

    "Mhm..."

    "Thepetition is still in progress, it should end soon."

    As the time passed, everyone started paying attention to thepetition again. Zhang Lin would definitely clutch the first ce. Then the remaining two spots, who would these two spotsnd on?

    Shua!

    Shua!

    25 minutes into thepetition, everyone was gradually done with their gene production as the evaluationmittee started giving them their scores.

    For example¡ª

    First ce: Zhang Lin, 90 points!

    Adding this on top of his original total score of 346, his final score was 436 points, maintaining his first spot,nding ahead of everyone else.

    Second ce: Mu Yuan, 80 points!

    Original total score of 330 points, final total score of 410 points.

    Third ce: Li Si, 88 points!

    Original total score of 320 points, final total score of 408 points.

    ...

    Apart from this, that person whose total score was originally at the 56th ce had yet to get into the top three.

    "It¡¯s over."

    "Yeah, I originally thought that Mu Yuan and Li Si would be fighting over the third ce. However, with Wang Yue¡¯s unexpected death, both of them have actually gotten their hands on the avable spots.

    "Yeah."

    Everyonemented.

    At this time, out of the 12 participants, 10 of them had received their final score!

    Only Chen Feng remained.

    Everyone looked at the time. There were still three minutes left.

    "Chen Feng is still not done?"

    "He is, after all, too new. Despite being talented, it should be quite hard to grasp a new form," some guessed.

    "I wonder if he can actuallyplete this."

    The crowd¡¯s interest was piqued.

    From the start of thepetition until now, Chen Feng had always been very mysterious. Every single time one thought that he would be eliminated, he would, in a mysterious way, barely survive.

    One time after another!

    How about this time?

    Everyone was looking forward to seeing if he could actually finish his production sessfully.

    As for his score...

    None bothered.

    Chen Feng¡¯s initial total score was 280. Even if he got a full score from the current stage, his total score would only be 380. However, Li Si, who was currently in third ce, had a total score of 408.

    "My guess is he won¡¯t be able toplete this production," some said whileughing.

    "My guess is Chen Feng will be able toplete within the next two minutes," said another person who was unsatisfied.

    In the livestream room, a lot of people started betting among themselves. At thepetition venue, Zhang Wei and the rest were also paying their attention to Chen Feng.

    At this time.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around.

    Chen Feng sealed his gene up.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Productionplete!

    "Good."

    Zhang Wei was emotional.

    Only three months in this profession yet able to sessfullyplete a brand new 3-star F-ss form, this was enough to showcase Chen Feng¡¯s talent. Without any support in terms of resources, without background, and new in the profession yet able to reach the same height as Wang Yue, this was proof of the superior talent Chen Feng possessed!

    As for his results?

    They were no longer important.

    Before 25 years old, Chen Feng would definitely be a champion in one of the Gene Rookie Competitions.

    "Let¡¯s deliver it to the evaluationmittee," Zhang Wei said with a smile.

    "All right."

    Chen Feng walked forth and handed over the gene reagent to the evaluationmittee.

    However, surprising everyone, when the evaluationmittee members took the reagent and evaluated it, a shocked and bizarre expression appeared on their faces before they proceed to discuss unceasingly.

    "What¡¯s the situation?"

    Zhang Wei included, everyone was confused.

    Weren¡¯t they supposed to give him a score now?

    Just give a score individually and bnce it out among all of you, won¡¯t the final scoree out this way? What is there to discuss? One of the producers among themittee is even arguing until his face is red.

    What was going on?

    Finally, themittee ended their discussion and Chen Feng¡¯s score was released.

    Base score of 86 points, mutated score of 50 points!

    Total score¡ª

    136 points!

    "Hua¡ª"

    Everyone was in an uproar.

    "Extra points for mutation?"

    "It had actually mutated?"

    "I recall this being a new form for him, right?"

    Everyone was stunned.

    Mutation!

    It was actually a mutation!

    Mutating on its first production. How small an odd was it for that to happen?

    This, this, this...

    Everyone had dumbfounded expressions on their face.

    Who would have guessed that a rookie producer like Chen Feng would mutate his reagent at his first production? Worthy of being someone capable of creating the mutated versions of gold ant gene and thundersnake gene indeed.

    "Wait..."

    "With this, doesn¡¯t it mean that Chen Feng is now in the top three?"

    Everyone was abruptly startled awake.

    That was right.

    Entering the top three.

    Due to the extra points for mutation, Chen Feng had be the second ce holder with a total score of 416 points, obtaining one of the three spots avable for Gold City.

    Li Si, eliminated.

    "This actually happened?"

    Everyone was dumbstruck.

    "This seems to be somewhat unfair, right?"

    Some were unsatisfied. "Isn¡¯t gene mutation somethingpletely dependent on luck?"

    However, these words of his attracted a bbergasted expression from everyone else.

    "Brother, are you an amateur?" some mocked.

    Luck?

    Mutation was a part of gene production in itself.

    There were some who had even specifically fused with gic abilities capable of increasing the odds of mutation in order to produce more powerful genes!

    This was a topic that, even by its very self, was capable of being studied as a core subject!

    The strongest gene...

    Special form...

    Unexpected gains...

    At times, all these were gained through mutation.

    Now, with Chen Feng¡¯s entrance into the top three, his fame increased once again.

    The poprity of his livestream was surpassing the heavens, with several hundred thousands of viewers, as his livestream room was overflowing with people.

    Chen Feng¡¯s name became well-known.

    Previously, Chen Feng had depended on the mutated gold ant gene, mutated thundersnake gene, and a certain newspaper to gain poprity among themoners of Gold City.

    In actuality, though, after the initial hype waned, there were still very few people who truly knew about him.

    Now, however, he had entered the top three fair and square!

    Defeating a huge group of peak-beginner producers, including Li Si, and soon to be the representative of Gold City in the Gene Rookie Competition caused his name to be known throughout Gold City unknown to no one.

    A certain location in Gold City.

    "Chen Feng has actually entered the top three."

    Xu Fei and the rest eximed in admiration.

    Although they were too busy to watch thepetition, with the news delivered to them by the system, they had still found out about the variousebacks Chen Feng made before ultimately entering the top three.

    "Seems like you need to put forth more effort."

    Zhou Ling had a faint smile. "Be careful lest you get surpassed."

    "How is that possible?"

    Inwardly, though, Xu Fei had a solemn mood.

    Chen Feng¡¯s rate of improvement was too fast!

    With this speed, it was very probable that the next time they met, he would have already be someone who far surpassed them. Their rtionship was still quite good. However, the cruel truth was that, if the disparity between their strength was too big, even remaining as friends might be hard.

    "This won¡¯t do."

    Xu Fei rubbed his bald head.

    He had be a bald person; however, he had to be stronger as well!

    Gold City.

    The entrance of a certain neighborhood.

    Uncle Zhang had just sold a set of gene materials when he heard the news and immediately burst out inughter. "Heh, this Chen Feng kid has actually gotten himself one of the quotas?"

    "I know, right?"

    "I told you this kid is somewhat talented."

    Aunty Zhang, the vegetable seller, was also busy gossiping.

    Some of those elderlydies in the neighborhood started gossiping; the whole neighborhood was bursting with noise.

    Gold City, Ironcloud¡¯s hub.

    Su Jin and the rest were waiting for their transportation.

    From today onward, they were students of seeded universities! They would greatly surpass the average person, treading on a path of rapid growth!

    Bing stronger!

    Bing more outstanding!

    "Hey, I heard it¡¯s the Gene Rookie Competition today," one of the students excitedly said.

    "It¡¯s not rted to us, though."

    Another student shook his head. "Even for students who specialize in gene production, thatpetition is too grand. At the very least, one needs to have graduated from university and practiced for an extra two or three years on top of that before participating in it. Even with this, one might only to be qualified to get some rewards out of it. As for now?"

    Everyone nodded, agreeing with him.

    "Su Jin, what are you thinking about?"

    Liu Yao saw that Su Jin was somewhat dazed and patted her shoulder.

    "No, nothing."

    Su Jin recovered from her stupor.

    "You can¡¯t still be thinking about Chen Feng, right?" Liu Yao rolled her eyes and said with disdain, "He failed his university entrance examinations and is now hanging around with those wild cultivators. In the future, he might even end up as some random hoodlum. He won¡¯t have anything to do with people like us. Look at those seniors of ours who failed to enter university. How many of them have great achievements? Haven¡¯t you seen all this?"

    "I know," Su Jin said in a low voice.

    In high school, she¡¯d always had a favorable opinion of Chen Feng, the top student. However, who would have guessed that the Chen Feng that had always dominated the top position would actually fail the examinations.

    Furthermore, in the previous Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain incident, the Chen Feng that appeared before her was apletely different person!

    Everything hade to an end. She was clear that, from now on, she and Chen Feng were people of two different worlds.

    "Let¡¯s go," Liu Yao said.

    Su Jin nodded. "Mhm."

    However, at this moment, a student raised his head with a shocked expression. "Isn¡¯t that... Chen Feng?"

    "What?"

    Everyone raised their heads instinctively.

    On the huge screen in the za of the Ironcloud¡¯s hub, the news regarding the Gene Rookie Competition was being reported. Three illusionary figures were cycled without stop on the screen¡ªZhang Lin, Chen Feng, and Mu Yuan!

    "How is this possible?"

    Liu Yao almost cried out in rm.

    Chen Feng?

    That was actually Chen Feng?

    That must be someone with the same name, right?

    However, as she looked at that familiar face and the personal information broadcasted, her heart jolted furiously. It was truly Chen Feng. Their fellow ssmate, the very Chen Feng that had failed his examinations! This fellow student that they still despised a few seconds earlier had now astonishingly emerged out of thepetition that they did not even dare to imagine about.

    "Look at Zhang Lin¡¯s information..." one of the students cried out in rm.

    Everyone looked at it in detail before their expressions changed greatly.

    Zhang Lin!

    24 years old!

    The one who graduated with outstanding results from Sea Breeze University!

    Bing an intermediate producer two years after graduation with rich experience in gene production, for example... wait, very detailed information was shown on the screen.

    How could this be?

    Several students lost their voice at the same time.

    Sea Breeze University!

    It was the university some of them had managed to enter!

    The fellow student that they despised was actually standing at the same height as an outstanding graduate of their Sea Breeze University, the seeded university.

    Furthermore¡ª

    Their total scores were very close!

    As they recalled their earlier words, their faces immediately flushed with embarrassment, while Su Jin nked as she looked at Chen Feng¡¯s figure, not recovering from her daze for a long time.

    So... you have reached such heights?

    Currently, at the Gold City branch.

    The emergence of Chen Feng had brought great shock to them.

    For example, Zhang Wei.

    "Second ce?"

    Zhang Wei felt somewhat lost.

    No matter what, he had never imagined that Chen Feng would enter the top three in such a manner, getting one of the avable spots as the second ce holder. This...

    "You are not happy?"

    The producer beside him looked at Zhang Wei with an amazed expression.

    "I don¡¯t know." Zhang Wei sighed. "I should be happy. However, when I thought of how Chen Feng needs to now confront the real Gene Rookie Competition, those rounds of cruelpetition..."

    He was too young!

    That was what Zhang Wei was worried about.

    Chen Feng was indeed talented. However, simrly talented people were everywhere. Furthermore, those people were all older than him!

    This was apetition of those 25 years old and below! An 18-year-oldpared with a 25-year-old? How were they supposed topete?

    If it¡¯s two yearster...

    "You are thinking too much." That producer curled his lips. "Even if there are dangers, the actual dangers will be in theter rounds. Do you think that Chen Feng can get through the second round?"

    Sweat. [1]

    Zhang Wei was immediately speechless.

    True, Chen Feng¡¯s achievements seemed impressive; however, that was only in Gold City! Every single year, out of those who represented Gold City, how many of them were able to get through the second round?

    To be honest, they were only there to make up the numbers. Since they couldn¡¯t even pass the second round, how would there be any danger?

    "I have indeed been thinking too much."

    Zhang Wei smiled bitterly, as the reason for there to be no worries on the safety of their representatives were also a sorrowful fact in itself.

    **

    Gold City¡¯s branch.

    First round of thepetition ended.

    The second round was fixed at three dayster, venue: Sea City. After Chen Feng and the other two received the information, they left respectively. They had two days to prepare themselves.

    "Three days..."

    Chen Feng pondered.

    The first round was simply an audition done at the branches.

    From the second round onward, that was the true productionpetition!

    No foundations!

    No tests!

    Only¡ª

    Production!

    Chen Feng tried checking the information regarding previous Gene Rookie Competitions online. However, the rules of thepetition were different every single year. The rules would be heavily influenced by the individual in charge of setting the rules, so it was not possible to guess the rules in advance. As for the analysts, the inte only had one conclusion¡ªthe stronger one¡¯s umtion was, the further one would go!

    "I wonder what kind ofpetition it will be."

    Chen Feng was somewhat looking forward to it.

    As long as there were none of those foundational tests, in a truepetition, he never feared anyone!

    That was his home ground!

    "Hum¡ª"

    His wristband buzzed.

    Chen Feng turned it on; it was actually Wang Chun.

    Footnotes:

    1. Picture the sweat meme.

    Chapter 115: A Big Gift for You

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    A screen popped up.

    Wang Chun¡¯s image appeared. "Congrattions on entering the second round."

    Chen Feng smiled. "I got lucky."

    Lucky my ass.

    Wang Chun rolled his eyes. He would not believe these words of Chen Feng. However, soon, his expression became extremely solemn as he said in a low voice, "Chen Feng, I think you need to be careful for a bit."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. "Why?"

    "The Wang family," Wang Chun said in a low voice. "Although I have left the Wang family, there are still some inside who listen to me. I received some news; they might be nning to do something major."

    "Something major?" Chen Feng had a bewildered expression. "How does that rte to me?"

    Wang Yue?

    He had been "killed by Old Mei." No problems on that front.

    Furthermore, with the protection of the Gene Production Association, he wasn¡¯t really afraid of the Wang family.

    "It¡¯s still better for you to be careful." Wang Chun had a solemn expression. "Your current identity is quite special, so you can request 24-hour protection."

    "Many thanks." Chen Feng expressed his thanks.

    After ending the call, Chen Feng sank into contemtion.

    Wang family...

    They were going to do something major soon. It wouldn¡¯t really be rted to him, right? However, no matter what, he still needed to take a look.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Light swirled.

    Chen Feng¡¯s ears moved slightly as a hundred Wind des blended into his body.

    Locking onto the Wang family.

    Shua!

    The sounds of every single footstep in the Wang family were now traveling to his ears.

    "Grandmaster, this will depend on you."

    "Don¡¯t worry, my gic ability is the killing curse, able to ignore the distance from the target."

    "How long is required for the preparations?"

    "The essence of the killing curse is the power of desire. Give enough mary reward to everyone in the Wang family, getting them to sincerely condense a blood essence containing power of desire with killing the target as their goal in their mind. As long the power of desire is sufficient, I will be able to even challenge someone of a higher ss. Even that Old Mei guy wouldn¡¯t prove much problem for me."

    "Blood essence..."

    "Mhm, at that time, just let those people stay in the Wang family. I will form the formation. At the very most, only some spiritual energy of theirs will be exhausted. There won¡¯t be any problems."

    "Alright, let¡¯s use that Chen Feng as target practice, then."

    This was Wang Tianhao¡¯s voice.

    At this, Chen Feng¡¯s originally casual expression became odd.

    What the heck. How does this rte to me at all?

    "Although Old Mei is the murderer, their initial target is Chen Feng. I refuse to believe that this incident is not rted to Chen Feng. Since my son is dead, there¡¯s no point for this Chen Feng to remain. Now, it¡¯s just nice for him to apany my son in death. When the momentes, you kill him first. Test out the power of the killing curse."

    Wang Tianhao was filled with a grudge.

    "Don¡¯t worry." The grandmaster was confident. "I only need five days to prepare! At that time, Chen Feng and the rest will have left Gold City. Even if he were to die, the suspicion wouldn¡¯tnd on us."

    "Very well."

    "Then, the reward..."

    ...

    Both their voices became softer.

    Chen Feng continued listening for a long time; however, nothing useful was heard.

    After a long time, his ability stopped and he returned to reality.

    Killing curse?

    Chen Feng checked it out.

    3-star secret art.

    This seemed to be a type of gic ability that was extremely terrifying. However, one needed to prepare blood essence in advance, extract it in advance, etc. It was an extremely troublesome ability, and the user would normally be extremely weak in closebat.

    However, its effect ignored distance.

    Once a person was targeted, things would be extremely dangerous.

    With this type of secret art, the stronger the power of desire, the stronger the power of the curse will be. This so-called power of desire was a term coined by the users of these secret arts¡ªusing one¡¯s desire to kill a target as the power of desire! The higher the amount of people who wished for the target to die, the stronger the killing curse would be. The amount of manpower and resources required to aplish this was astonishingly high.

    Chen Feng inhaled a mouthful of cold air. "Such things actually exist."

    This world was much scarier than he had imagined.

    Couldn¡¯t guard against it no matter what!

    What should he do?

    Chen Feng frowned.

    Wang Yue was dead. Furthermore, he had been "killed by Old Mei." Chen Feng had believed that this matter woulde to an end here. However, the Wang family still insisted on killing him!

    Furthermore, they decided to kill him merely because they suspected him to y a hand in Wang Yue¡¯s death.

    Tyrannical indeed.

    Defending?

    Avoiding?

    Why should he need to be on defense?

    Chen Feng looked at the gene reagent in his hand as a cold glint flickered in his eyes. Since the Wang family wanted to y, the Wang family should go and die as well. How simple.

    When cutting grass, they still needed to be rooted, after all.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng ced the gene reagent on the table.

    This was the mutated earthworm¡¯s body gene reagent!

    ----

    Mutated Earthworm¡¯s Body Gene

    ss: F

    Function: Using earthworm gene as the core, able to link multiple of the same F-ss gene reagents together, enabling the reagents to disy better effects.

    ----

    This was a mutated gene reagent. A mutated gene reagent produced by Chen Feng using his luck value.

    The original function of this gene was: Using earthworm gene as the core, able to link two of the same F-ss gene reagents together, enabling the reagents to disy better effects.

    A one-off consumable item.

    Under normal circumstances, after the earthworm¡¯s body gene was consumed, it would string two gene reagents together, causing a superposition effect on the two gene reagents with the same ability.

    Despite it being something only able to be used on F-ss genes, it was still extremely powerful.

    Now... the original "two" in the description turned into "multiple."

    This meant that the gene reagent would now be able to link arge amount of the same gene reagents together!

    Chen Feng was very curious. If three or five or even more of the same gene reagents were to be linked together, their might, how many times greater would the power be?

    "Truly an option one looks forward to."

    The corner of Chen Feng¡¯s mouth curled up in a smile.

    In the following two days, Chen Feng secluded himself in production.

    No one knew what he was producing. After two days, Chen Feng arrived at the Gold City¡¯s branch at the appointed time and followed Zhang Wei and the rest to Sea City to participate in the next round of thepetition.

    "Hum¡ª"

    The Ironcloud started moving slowly and then streaked forward, leaving behind a red dash of light as it disappeared from view.

    Chen Feng was officially leaving Gold City.

    "Do your best!"

    "Enter the top 100! Win honor for Gold City!"

    These were the wishes of the Gold City citizens, shown on the huge screens that hovered midair.

    The staff member sighed. "Hopefully they can obtain a good achievement."

    "Yeah."

    Other people agreed with the sentiment.

    Mu Yuan and Chen Feng were probably only there to make up the numbers before returning here after a short while. As for Zhang Lin, there might be a chance!

    Work hard!

    Everyone was filled with expectations. At the Ironcloud¡¯s hub, a huge amount of people were cheering for Chen Feng and the rest. The Gene Rookie Competition was not something that only affected those individual producers. It affected the whole city as well!

    **

    On the Ironcloud, Chen Feng suddenly turned his wristband on.

    Mhm...

    Contact person: Wang Tianhao.

    These were the contact details he had received from Wang Chun.

    "Du¡ª"

    Chen Feng called him.

    After a long time, a voice filled with killing intent appeared. "Chen Feng?"

    "Yes." The corner of Chen Feng¡¯s mouth curled up in a smile. "To express my gratitude for your recent care, before I leave Gold City, I have a small gift for you all. Kindly ept them."

    Pa.

    Chen Feng ended the call.

    ??

    At the other end, Wang Tianhao was confused .

    Gift? Are we even close?

    He frowned and couldn¡¯t understand the reason for Chen Feng to suddenly contact him no matter what. However, suddenly, he had an ominous feeling.

    "Bang!"

    The air trembled suddenly.

    The sunny and cloudless sky was suddenly covered by clouds. A gush of terrifying power started converging in the sky.

    This is...

    Wang Tianhao¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    "Defend!"

    "Activate the defensive barrier!"

    "Bang!"

    With a thundering sound, bolts of lightning started descending!

 Chapter 116: Wang Familyâ€™s Disaster

    Chapter 116: Wang Family¡¯s Disaster

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Currently, at the Ironcloud hub, the employees of the Gic Union were wandering around.

    Due to the previous Old Mei incident, in order to prevent any sudden attacks on Chen Feng and the other two participants, they had prepared arge amount of gic warriors to protect them. Before leaving Gold City, they had to ensure absolute safety for the three.

    As for Sea City?

    The Gic Union at a ce like that was much powerful than what they had here.

    Looking at the three as they got on the Ironcloud, they finally breathed out in relief. However, none expected that, one short minuteter, before they even had the chance to withdraw, a loud explosion would resound.

    "Bang!"

    The earth trembled.

    "What happened?!"

    Everyone in Gold City was shaken.

    "Not good."

    The heart of everyone in the Gic Union thumped. In the end, something still happened!

    Instinctively, they looked toward the direction of the sound of the explosion. There, only a vast expanse of darkness could be seen. The sky was covered by ck clouds with countless purple-colored lightning descending from the sky. It was akin to a scene out of purgatory. Ayer of a light-blue energy barrier shed, yet it was destroyed in a split second.

    That ce was the Wang family¡¯s!

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    The earth rumbled.

    One miserable scream after another resounded.

    "Not good."

    The expression of those from the Gic Union changed greatly. They originally believed that if something were to happen, it was going to be at the Ironcloud hub. However, they did not expect it to happen to the Wang family.

    "Go!"

    Everyone departed for the Wang family.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    The terrifying lightning descended unceasingly.

    The earth trembled.

    "Block!"

    "Block it!" Wang Tianhao howled furiously.

    He possessed powerful strength; hence, he was able to protect himself. However, what was scary about this lightning was its area of effect. When the huge amount of lightning covered the whole Wang family...

    He was powerless against it!

    "Bang!"

    With every strike of lightning, there would be people dying and buildings copsing.

    With bloodshot eyes, Wang Tianhao watched as everything he had painstakingly built was destroyed, turning into ruins. Even the so-called grandmaster that was still preparing the materials was killed.

    His superb ability of killing someone above his ss caused his defensive capability to be extremely low.

    Finished. Everything is finished , Wang Tianhao muttered.

    After a long time, the lightning stopped.

    That terrifying bombardment finally stopped.

    With a wretched appearance, Wang Tianhao raised his head, a total mess revealed before his eyes.

    The whole Wang family had turned into ruins.

    Countless deaths!

    Howls of grief resounded unceasingly. On their faces were still expressions of disbelief. Evidently, they had never expected the disaster to descend upon them from the sky.

    This was the Wang family!

    In the city district!

    Someone dared to make a move here?

    Someone dared?!

    At the same time, the people from Gic Union had finally arrived. Someone daring to make such a big move in the city district, this incident was too major. They had to deal with it.

    The staff member looked at Wang Tianhao. "Any idea who was the one who did this?"

    "Chen Feng!" Wang Tianhao said furiously.

    !

    The staff member had an odd expression on his face.

    Chen Feng?

    They had just sent Chen Feng off. How could it be Chen Feng?!

    "Are you sure?"

    "Yes." Wang Tianhao was filled with killing intent. "I am certain that it is him!"

    "Fine." The staff member nodded slightly before turning around to look at the scout beside him. "Investigate this and see if we can find anything."

    "Hum¡ª"

    Both his eyes became sharp as lightning.

    Layers of images appeared before his eyes and a petite silhouette appeared.

    "A woman was seen!"

    A pleasantly surprised expression appeared on his face.

    However, just as he wanted to get a clear look, the scene disappeared abruptly. As long as the ce he looked at was the ce where that person appeared, the image would be indistinct.

    "Activate!" That person sneered before activating his secret art. "I refuse to believe I can¡¯t find out your identity!"

    "Bang!"

    Light swirled in both his eyes.

    However, in a split second, blood started flowing out of his eyes.

    "Pu!"

    The scout spat out a mouthful of blood.

    "What happened?"

    The people around him held him up quickly.

    "That person..."

    "I failed to investigate," the scout said in a low voice. "All I can see is the silhouette of a woman. However, I can¡¯t get a more detailed look. It is very possible that our opponent¡¯s strength is far above us."

    "Look here."

    A sudden cry.

    A staff member pointed at the killing curse ceremony on the ground and the blood essence that was scattered around the ground. That was something used to prepare the killing curse.

    Wang Tianhao¡¯s expression changed slightly. "Not good."

    "Killing curse?" The staff member suddenly understood what had happened.

    "Wang Tianhao, you are courting death!"

    A cold glint appeared in their eyes.

    What they at the Gic Union protected was the whole city instead of certain families. When they saw the killing curse ceremony, a lot of things did not require any further exnations. Due to their attempt to curse someone, they had gotten revenge on them instead and got counter-killed. Hadn¡¯t they seen a lot of such cases?

    That woman earlier...

    Was so strong even a C-ss scout had failed to investigate her. How strong was she exactly?

    "Wang Tianhao! What kind of enemy have you provoked?!"

    "I..." Wang Tianhao couldn¡¯t find an answer for that question.

    Looking for the person responsible?

    Damn it.

    They hadn¡¯t even started their killing curse!

    However¡ª

    Nobody believed them.

    "Stop doing stupid things."

    The Gic Union left a cold warning before leaving.

    How could things be this way?

    A bewildered expression was stered on Wang Tianhao¡¯s face.

    It ended just like this? Chen Feng...

    Wang Tianhao looked at the Wang family that had turned into ruins and finally understood the meaning of Chen Feng¡¯s call.

    Threat!

    A bare naked threat!

    Chen Feng was using a cold, hard fact to show Wang Tianhao that he had his own methods as well!

    Even if he couldn¡¯t defeat Wang Tianhao, he was a lone person. Hence, he could flee at any time. As for those from the Wang family? This was where their roots were! Where could they run to?!

    If they continued provoking him, the Wang family might be destroyed for sure!

    "Chen Feng..." Wang Tianhao mumbled this name bitterly.

    He knew that he no longer had any courage to fight Chen Feng.

    Currently, in one of the inns of Gold City.

    Wang Chun smiled as he looked at what was unfolding. "Seems like you earned yourself some merits."

    "Obviously," Shen Yi said proudly. "I am originally not of this world. Furthermore, I¡¯m the most proficient at scouting. How could I let myself be scouted out by that guy?"

    "Naturally."

    Wang Chun smiled as he said that; however, he was inwardly in a solemn mood.

    Everything had gone smoothly!

    The mystical reagent...

    Was so powerful it was inconceivable. Despite him clearly seeing that those were mutated thundersnake reagents that were linked together through some methods, the ultimate power they disyed had still exceeded his imagination!

    Furthermore, the timing of the explosion was too perfect.

    While the Gic Union were busy with their protection n on Chen Feng and the other two participants, the reagents were suddenly activated. With this, those from the Gic Union could not even make it back in time. Otherwise, regardless of how evil the Wang family was, the Gic Union would not allow such an incident to happen within the city and would have most certainly stopped the destruction from happening.

    And the direction the investigation was going...

    Killing curse, blood essence.

    Everything appeared nicely, leading the direction the investigation headed toward. Everything was executed wlessly with no mistake anywhere.

    Everything unfolded exactly as he¡¯d nned.

    Too scary!

    Toward this producer that was one year younger than him, apart from their friendship, he felt a profound admiration. With such methods, in the future, he would definitely be an unordinary person!

    "Hum¡ª"

    The Ironcloud traveled forth at a high speed.

    Chen Feng¡¯s closed eyes opened suddenly.

    Within his body, the activated Luck Aura finally came to a halt.

    "It ended."

    Chen Feng¡¯s lips curled up in a smile.

    Was that the power resulting from the superposition caused by the mutated earthworm gene?

    When it linked a bunch of mutated thundersnake gene reagents together, it created an extremely powerful gene with inconceivable power. A one-time consumable gene reagent with a huge exhaustion rate! Furthermore, the activation of Luck Aura had also ensured the smooth execution of the whole n, avoiding any unexpected incidents from happening.

    Apart from the exhaustion of his luck values, everything was wless!

    This was the first time that Chen Feng had felt like a god!

    Standing on the god¡¯s point of view, controlling everything, easily destroying the Wang family, causing countless casualties! Did one think that the killing curse was the only thing capable of killing those from higher sses?

    Nope.

    As long there were enough luck values, Chen Feng could also aplish the same thing!

    In a small city like Gold City, the Wang family was very powerful. However, so what?

    A chained gene had destroyed half the Wang family!

    These few days, the ones left at the Wang family were those who, in order to gain mary reward, contributed their blood essence to kill Chen Feng. Toward these people, Chen Feng would not hold back!

    Far away, the sun shone through the Ironcloud¡¯s ss. Chen Feng¡¯s lips curled up in a smile.

    Despite the amount of luck value exhaustion being somewhat high, now that he had sessfully dealt with the Wang family, he could stop worrying that there would be someone causing troubles for him in dark. Finally, he could ce his proper attention to thepetition!

    The champion of the Gene Rookie Competition was something he had to get his hands on.

    "What¡¯s the matter?"

    Zhang Wei noticed the somewhat-off expression of Chen Feng.

    "Somewhat tired." Chen Feng smiled. "I will rest for a bit."

    These two days, he was busy producing genes and had not even gotten the chance to rest his mind. Chen Feng entered deep slumber and rested all the way until the sharp sound of the station resounded beside his ears.

    Sea City, arrived!

 Chapter 117: The Gene Reagent with the Strongest Defense!

    Chapter 117: The Gene Reagent with the Strongest Defense!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Sea City.

    It was a mystical city, a city that floated above an inner ocean without any foundations supporting the city.

    Several legendary figures had, with their own hands, built a huge piece of floating ice here, enabling the people to build a city belonging to themselves, resulting in the creation of this mystical city!

    Chen Feng and the rest got down from the vehicle.

    "It¡¯s refreshing and chilly here," Chen Feng eximed in admiration.

    Under the scorching hot summer, this felt sofortable it seeped into one¡¯s bones.

    "When it¡¯s winter, you won¡¯t be thinking this way anymore," Mu Yuan said grudgingly.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Even in winter, this ce should be exceptionallyfortable as well, right?

    "It¡¯s not as bad as you think." Zhang Weiughed. "This is a ce that is warm during winter and cold during summer. A very habitable ce. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t be one of the ten greatest cities worldwide."

    A timid voice traveled to them. "Do you require a guide?"

    They turned around and were astonished to find that it was a youngdy with a pair of long and furry bunny ears on her head.

    Mutant?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted.

    "It¡¯s only a weak mutation," Zhang Lin said in a low voice.

    There were several categories of gic mutation. As long as one¡¯s intelligence was not affected and they were able to pass the Gic Union¡¯s test, they would not be considered a dangerous being.

    "So that¡¯s the case," Chen Feng muttered thoughtfully.

    On the other hand, the eyes of Mu Yuan beside him shone. This is a bunny-ear girl!

    Zhang Wei refused her with a smile on his face. "Nope."

    "Then, do you need the information rted to the Gene Rookie Competition?"

    The youngdy narrowed her eyes until they had be a thin line, looking extremely adorable, "Those who arrived for the past two days are mostly here for thepetition. We have a lot of information in our hands."

    "For example..."

    "The most promising producers in this year¡¯spetition," the youngdy said with a smiling face.

    "How much? I will buy it."

    Mu Yuan waved his hand.

    "Hey."

    Chen Feng wanted to stop him. Such a marketing method, wasn¡¯t it the same as the scammers at those tourist attractions in the Earth of his previous life?

    Shua!

    However, Mu Yuan had already made the payment. A session of information was transmitted to his wristband.

    The fees: 3,000 yuan.

    "This is all insider news."

    The youngdy left with a beaming smile on her face.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    3,000 yuan for some information? Even if you are a producer, you don¡¯t have to be so stupid right?

    At this time, those from the Gene Production Association of Sea City arrived to receive them. As they saw the departing youngdy, they suddenly asked, "You didn¡¯t buy any of her information, right?"

    "I bought a set," Mu Yuan said honestly.

    "Is this what you bought?" The staff member turned his wristband on. Surprisingly, an exact same set of information appeared there. Next, he looked at Mu Yuan as if he was looking at an idiot. "This is all public information avable on the learning forum."

    Everyone: "..."

    Scammed indeed.

    "What do you know?" Mu Yuan said with contempt. "This was my true goal." At that, he pointed at the contact details he¡¯d obtained from the youngdy when she transmitted the information to him.

    Everyone was speechless.

    "Impressive."

    Chen Feng patted his shoulder. 3,000 yuan for contact details. An eptable amount.

    "Producer is too reclusive a profession." Mu Yuan sighed. "Ourworking circle is too small. Furthermore, our rank as beginner producers is nothing morous either. I¡¯m already at this age, yet I haven¡¯t even met any girls I¡¯m interested in. Beforeing here, my grandfather told me that I must use the opportunity of thispetition to get a girlfriend."

    Chen Feng was speechless.

    This was the reason this guy joined thepetition?

    "Let¡¯s go, I will show you around," the staff member said.

    Sea City was a very mystical city.

    Under the scorching sun, countless ice sculptures could be seen grandiosely arranged on the street. They were cool and refreshing to touch. Beside the street, there was also warm ice for sale, allowing one to experience the winter of Sea City in advance. Chen Feng tried touching them. This ice was indeed warm!

    A mystical ce, a mystical piece of floating ice.

    However, Chen Feng and the rest were, after all, not here for a holiday.

    After the initial novelty wore off, they lost their interest. The staff member showed them around randomly for a short time before bringing them back to the prearranged hotel to rest before leaving to receive the next batch of participants.

    In the hotel room, after Zhang Wei exined to them what to take note of, he let them off to rest.

    Thepetition would be held early morning the next day.

    Tonight, everyone had free personal time.

    Chen Feng had originally nned to have a deep exchange with Mu Yuan on production skills. However, he did not expect that Mu Yuan had actually hooked up with the youngdy that sold him the information and was now nowhere to be found.

    "This is truly..."

    Chen Feng shook his head and couldn¡¯t help but tough.

    After the meal, Chen Feng started his preparations for the uingpetition.

    There was not much point in practicingst minute. Chen Feng did not bother wasting his spiritual energy. Instead, he entered the learning forum and started looking over the information regarding the Gene Rookie Competition.

    The top hundred promising producers...

    The top hundred beautiful producers...

    ...

    The contents of this particr thread were very thorough and detailed.

    There were a total of 9,600 participants in thepetition. In this thread, approximately a thousand of them were included. As long as there was something special about the producer, the producer would be included in this thread. Instead, it was those like Mu Yuan who, despite having rather good production skills yet mediocre results, normally weren¡¯t included in this thread.

    What was interesting was that Chen Feng had even found himself in the thread. His name was included in a list called "Future top hundred candidates..."

    "Is it due to my age?" Chen Feng contemted.

    He started seriously cramming in additional information and only went to rest after he started feeling tired.

    The night passed quietly.

    On the next day, Zhang Wei brought the three of them to thepetition venue.

    At a hugepound belonging to the virtual worldpany was one huge 300-story building after another. All of them were rented by the Gene Production Association as the arena for thepetition.

    The 263rd floor of B Block was the arena Chen Feng was assigned to.

    Zhang Wei patted Chen Feng¡¯s shoulder. "Just try your best."

    Chen Feng smiled. "All right."

    He is so unconfident with me? No worries. Soon, I will prove my worth!

    He had to emerge from this Gene Rookie Competition!

    As he entered the building, Chen Feng walked to the arena he was assigned to.

    The arena was extremely huge with all sorts of equipment he never seen before. This equipment appeared much more delicate and finepared to those at Gold City. Icy-blue rays of light filled the sky, causing one to feel rxed andfortable.

    At ten sharp, thepetition officially began.

    "The second round hereby officially begins."

    "The rules being: producers are given free rein to choose their forms and materials to produce the strongest defensive reagent! The final scores will be decided in ordance to the degree in which the defensive reagent was able to resist the aurora energy attack. The top 1,000 scorers will pass the first stage. The rest will be eliminated."

    Shua!

    Light swirled before everyone¡¯s eyes.

    The gene bank of the Gene Rookie Competition was shown to Chen Feng.

    Within was an endless amount of gene forms!

    From F ss to E ss, 1 star to 5 star, all sorts of forms, everything was avable. If one wanted to, one could directly choose a 5-star E-ss form right now.

    "Is this the reward for passing the first round?" Chen Feng eximed in admiration.

    Indeed, at the very start of this round, a major form was already awarded to them by making this gene bank avable to them.

    A lot of participants who did not intend to pass the second round of the eliminations would choose an expensive form that suited them before leaving. However, as for Chen Feng...

    This stage, he had to make his choice carefully!

    The first stage¡¯s requirement was to produce the strongest defensive reagent?

    However, there were no restrictions on the gene bank. If one were to choose an attacking gene or a fusion reagent, there would be no way for one to pass the stage.

    Thepetition had begun.

    What should he choose?

    Chen Feng looked on only to feel that the sight before him was extremely dazzling.

    There were only brief introductions for each gene. Gene name, gene function, and main materials. One needed to be able to make a judgment on its power with a single nce. One needed to chose a defensive gene reagent from among all these attack, support, fusion, and all other types of genes.

    This was only one of the aspects of this stage.

    Apart from that, one also needed to chose the level of the difficulty.

    The difficulty levels ranging from 1-star F ss to 5-star E ss were all avable here. Which should one pick?

    The strongest defense?

    Without a doubt, the harder the difficulty of the reagent, the more powerful it would be. However, could one really produce a 5-star E-ss gene sessfully?

    Even for intermediate producers.

    One needed to know that this was the first time they had obtained ess to the chosen form.

    Only one day was avable for them.

    How many times could they attempt their productions?

    Higher difficulty also signified a higher amount of materials.

    If one were to painstakingly work for one whole day to end up with insufficient materials, or only gaining sufficient materials for a single production, could one guarantee sess in that single production?

    Once one failed, one would be eliminated.

    "This stage..."

    Chen Feng had a solemn mood.

    Despite Gold City¡¯s round being on one¡¯s foundations, they were still considerably simple. One only needed to follow the rules. Those with solid foundations would be able to easily pass the round. As for this second round ofpetition, from the very beginning, everyone was faced with a difficult choice.

    This was only a single production.

    A single production to determine one¡¯s sess or failure.

    "Which to choose?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze started sweeping through the screen before stopping at the very front of the list, the extremely powerful form that one would immediately see the moment one entered the gene bank.

    "You, then."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    Chapter 118: Waiting for Failure

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    ----

    Aquarhino Gene Form

    Difficulty: 5-star

    Type: Special

    Function: Enabling one to use the Aquarhino Rampart skill, activation through spiritual energy

    Introduction: Produced from the blood essence of an aquarhino. Various materials are required to trigger the mysterious power contained within the aquarhino, producing a special gene reagent as a result.

    ----

    This was the gene with the highest defense among the gene bank with no other contenders.

    This was Chen Feng¡¯s choice.

    Since he wanted to grab the championship, he naturally needed to choose the strongest gene form.

    In the first round at Gold City, one¡¯s foundations were tested. His results there were quite ordinary. Now that they were producing genes live, regardless of the methods used, he would not becking whenpared to others.

    This was his home ground!

    "There should be a lot of people who chose the same form as me, right?"

    The corner of Chen Feng¡¯s lips curled up into a smile.

    Then... let¡¯s see who¡¯s the oneughing till the end.

    Shua!

    As he finished choosing the form, Chen Feng entered the segment where materials were gathered. However, he did not know that with his choice, the whole virtualmunity was immediately in an uproar.

    Especially the learning forum.

    After the several previous incidents, Chen Feng was considered as someone well-known within the beginner section of the learning forum. As such, there were people that were paying attention to him in thepetition.

    However...

    Aquarhino gene?

    Are you kidding me?

    One needed to know that among the nearly 10,000 participants, he was the only one to choose the aquarhino gene.

    Why?

    Due to the scam-like material requirements.

    For the other forms, those 5-star forms included, only around 200 to 300 materials were required. However, the materials required by the aquarhino reached a staggering amount of 1,300!

    An rming amount!

    With this, the problem was not the production difficulty. Instead, the problem was the fact that one might not even be able to gather theplete materials.

    "Has Chen Feng given up on thepetition?" someone guessed.

    This was in actuality something quite normal.

    There were some who believed that they were unable to pass the second round; hence, these people would choose a 5-star form with the highest value before getting eliminated. This was something very normal. However...

    "Do you know what the aquarhino gene represents among the E ss?" someone said suddenly.

    Another person nked. "What?"

    "IQ tester," he said grudgingly.

    The other person: "..."

    Despite the aquarhino gene possessing the strongest defense among the E ss, due to the harsh material requirements, its quality¨Cprice ratio was so low it caused one¡¯s hair to stand up in anger.

    This was simply an abandoned gene.

    Even if one were to give up on thepetition, one could choose other 5-star forms. There were a lot of well-known yet rare 5-star forms in the gene bank. Therefore, what was Chen Feng nning?

    They were unable to make sense of it.

    At this time, only when they saw Chen Feng entering the virtual materials area and starting to gather the materials were they sure that Chen Feng truly nned to produce this gene.

    This scam-like aquarhino gene!

    "Hahaha. Too funny."

    "Although there are countless materials in the materials-gathering area, every single one of the materials needs to be gathered by himself. In 10 hours, how many of them can he gather?"

    "This kid must have gone insane."

    "Maybe he hasn¡¯t gone insane. Rather, after getting some achievements when he is in F ss, he let it get to his head and is now too arrogant."

    Some sneered endlessly.

    Thepetition was something with a time limit.

    Ten hours!

    Despite the fact that blood essence had already been provided by the management and there was no need to hunt the mutated beasts, the hundreds of materials required for the incubator liquid was something one needed to gather by themselves.

    If one could, for example, gather one material per three minutes, in one hour, only twenty materials could be gathered.

    After ten hours?

    Only 200!

    This signified that any forms that required more than 200 materials would need one to rush their material gathering. Naturally, if one was talented with higher speed, depending on the individual, one could get more. For example, over 200, 300, or 400 materials, these were aplishable by a lot of people.

    However, the 1,200 required by the aquarhino gene?

    You got to be kidding me.

    "Someone actually chose the IQ tester."

    "666666666 I thought only a novice would make such choice."

    "Hahaha, I must go to take a look."

    A lot people were taking joy and delight in the cmity of others.

    A group of people entered Chen Feng¡¯s livestream room, bringing an unexpected growth to Chen Feng¡¯s poprity.

    At this time, arge portion of the participants had already chosen their forms. With this, the second round of thepetition had truly entered the material-gathering segment.

    "Bang!"

    Light swirled before Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    Chen Feng descended to the ground.

    Blue sky.

    White clouds.

    And a vast expanse of trees.

    The smell of the fresh air pervaded his nose. The whole world gave Chen Feng an extremely real feeling. He pinched his hand and the pain could actually be felt.

    Fully equipped?

    Spirit body?

    Chen Feng had a solemn mood.

    He was sure that through some methods, spiritual energy was used to create a spirit body that waspletely the same as one¡¯s main body. This was a technology more advanced than what the virtualmunity used. Naturally, such equipment was something an ordinary person unable to use. One¡¯s spiritual energy had to reach a certain level to be able to endure the usage of such equipment.

    Is this where the materials are gathered?

    Chen Feng looked at a distant ce.

    There, some rare production materials could already be seen. Among the trees, some small-scale mutated beasts could be seen wandering around in their natural habitats.

    This was a small-scale virtual world.

    30,000 producers were sent here to gather the required materials for their forms.

    "Let¡¯s begin, then."

    Chen Feng was overwhelmed by emotions.

    Not far away, a small stalk of grass that was required by his form was swaying gently among the bush. In ordance to his knowledge, Chen Feng carefully gathered the stalk of grass while protecting its medical effectiveness.

    Time consumed: two and half minutes.

    Second material.

    It was behind a mutated beast. These mutated beasts were set up by the management and were not here to be hunted. As long as one was familiar with its temperament, one could easily avoid it. Carefully, Chen Feng took a detour around the beast to reach behind it and gathered the material it was protecting.

    Time consumption: three and a half minutes.

    Third material: one minute consumed.

    Fourth material: four minutes consumed.

    ...

    Chen Feng suddenly stopped.

    Ten materials, 27 minutes!

    This was too slow!

    Ten hours seemed to be ample time; however, if this continued, he would not be able to gather even half of the required materials.

    "Sure enough, it¡¯s not working."

    Chen Feng felt somewhat regretful.

    Seems like I can only use that method, then.

    At this time, the viewers at his livestream room were finally getting excited.

    "He has just figured out the problem."

    "666666666 so he really knew nothing."

    "Seems like despite his aplishments in F-ss, his foundations are still too weak, for him to not be aware of even this knowledge. How is he supposed to go further?"

    "Yeah, and the association actually believed that he was someone capable of grabbing the championship few years down the line?"

    "What a joke!"

    A slew of criticisms were thrown out from those from the learning forum.

    Due to the prominence of his previous aplishments, there were quite a number of people that liked him. However, those who disliked him were also quite high in amount. At this time, all these people came out to criticize him.

    They seemed to have already seen Chen Feng¡¯s failure.

    In actuality, the moment Chen Feng chose the aquarhino form, he had already failed. There were ten thousand participants yet he was the only one who chose this form. If it wasn¡¯t due to him having brain damage, what reason could it be?

    Were those people stupid?

    No.

    Everyone here was incredibly cunning.

    Regardless of whether it was for one¡¯s own benefit or if it was for thepetition, aquarhino was the worst choice one could make.

    Some sneered. "I will be waiting for the birth of the biggest joke of this year¡¯spetition."

    However, at this very moment, those in the livestream room waiting for Chen Feng to make a joke out of himself suddenly widened their eyes, an unbelievable expression on their face.

    "Wait, what is he doing?"

    "This is..."

    "Has he gone crazy?"

    Materials area.

    A fluorescent liquid was cupped on a certain piece of leaf. This was one of the materials Chen Feng needed to gather, the morning dew. This was also one of the favorite beverages of mutated beasts.

    Hence...

    The areas around the fluorescent liquid would always be filled with mutated beasts.

    The reason mutated beasts were ced in the materials area was in order to help deepen the participants¡¯ understanding of the characteristics of these materials. One only needed to know the temperament of these mutated beasts to easily avoid them.

    These mutated beasts would take turns consuming the fluorescent liquid. One only needed to wait for a few minutes for a gap to appear. Subsequently, one only needed to take advantage of this gap to quickly retrieve the liquid. Perhaps one might have a deeper understanding of these mutated beasts and would be able to use some other materials to temporarily lure these mutated beasts away. With this, one could also easily get the fluorescent liquid.

    Easy. Naturally, it was also somewhat time consuming.

    This was the 11th material required by Chen Feng.

    The viewers in the livestream room were originally happily witnessing Chen Feng wasting his time. However, outside of everyone¡¯s expectations, this time, Chen Feng actually walked straight toward that mutated beast.

    That¡¯s right.

    He was actually walking straight to that mutated beast!

    "Has he gone insane?"

    Everyone had a dumbfounded expression.

    This...suicide to get eliminated out of thepetition?

    Chen Feng was actually nning to give up on thepetition in such a manner?

    However, at this moment, Chen Feng reached. An even more astonishing thing happened.

    "Xiu!"

    A shining Wind de shot out of Chen Feng¡¯s hand and shed toward the mutated beast with an astonishing might. That mutated beast was actually wounded by Chen Feng!

    "Xiu!"

    Another Wind de shot out.

    The mutated beast died.

    Next, Chen Feng retrieved the fluorescent liquid easily.

    Time consumed: 10 seconds.

    "????!"

    Everyone had dumbfounded expressions.

    K-killed?

    He had actually killed the mutated beast!

    One needed to know that there were indeed people who tried killing these mutated beasts before. However, these mutated beasts were all peak F-ss. Hence, for these beginner and intermediate producers, these beasts required a lot of effort to kill.

    As for Chen Feng?

    His killing speed was actually so short!

    "His gic ability..."

    Some quickly realized something.

    Normal producers would fuse with genes that provided assistance in gene production in order to be the strongest producer. Chen Feng, on the other hand, had fused with abat gene.

    "What?!"

    Some couldn¡¯t believe it.

    The Chen Feng proimed as a genius producer had actually fused with abat gene?!

    This...

    "He was probably too poor in the past."

    Some sneered.

    Everyone was speechless.

    Must all gene producers have zerobat genes?

    Not quite so!

    There were a lot of such producers!

    This was a verymon urrence among those wild cultivators who had only managed to be producers by fluke. Bing someone who was a mix between producer and warrior, these people possessed various gic abilies as they would only decide what to do when they advanced into a new ss without nning in advance.

    These people were quite weak regardless of theirbat power or their production level.

    Double cultivation?

    It was simply a joke.

    A lot of people only fell into such predicament due to their life circumstances which forced them into it.

    However...none of them had ever qualified to participate in the Gene Rookie Competition!

    Chen Feng was the very first one!

    Wind de?

    What damnable ability was that?

    For a gene producer, that was simply a trash ability.

    "With this, his gathering speed should have a great increase, right?" some suddenly realized.

    "That¡¯s not for sure." Another guy sneered. "Only a part of the materials were guarded by mutated beasts. For those materials without mutated beasts that required pure gathering skills, how is he supposed to increase his speed? You need to know, to perfectly gather a material, one needs to be very careful, protecting the material¡¯s medicinal effectiveness lest it get damaged..."

    Before he had even finished his sentence, he was stunned as he looked at Chen Feng.

    Not only him, in Chen Feng¡¯s livestream room, everyone that saw Chen Feng¡¯s action was equally stunned.

    As that guy was talking about material gathering, coincidentally, Chen Feng was gathering a spiritual grass that required its medicinal effectiveness be preserved. What happened next was Chen Feng calmly walking to it and directly pulling that grass out.

    "!??????!"

    Everyone was dumbfounded.

    P-pulling it out?!

    Was this Chen Feng crazy?!

    A spiritual grass! Its medicinal effectiveness needed preservation.

    Only by preserving its medicinal effectiveness would the production be sessful. Every portion of the medicinal effectiveness lost would influence the sess rate and might even cause the production to fail. Hence, when gathering such spiritual grasses, extreme caution had to be exercised as one dug the roots of the grasses out together with the soil it grew in. With this, the medicinal effectiveness would be preserved for production.

    Chen Feng, though, had directly plucked it out just like that.

    "..."

    Everyone had a stupefied expression.

    Chen Feng¡¯s choice of actions had caused them to not even be sure how to continue berating him.

    This, this, this...

    They were certain that Chen Feng had gone crazy.

    "Maybe, only this one time?" some guessed.

    After all, if it was only done to one of the materials, the effect wouldn¡¯t be too big.

    "I think so too."

    Another person agreed, "It might be because this particr spiritual grass was something Chen Feng did not know how to gather, so he directly plucked it out so as to not waste time here. It is a reasonable choice."

    "True."

    Everyone thought and agreed.

    However, just as they was done convincing themselves that this was the truth, Chen Feng quickly walked toward a bush and cupped some liquid with his bare hands before filling his reagent bottle with it.

    Time consumed: 10 seconds.

    "God!"

    "That¡¯s the Wind Dew!"

    "This is something that must be handled with sterilized tools; otherwise, the sess rate will be affected. Chen Feng actually used his bare hands to directly cup it, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, I am going crazy!"

    Everyone was stupefied.

    A liquid that needed to be handled with sterilized tools...

    Was cupped out with bare hands?

    God, how ignorant was Chen Feng?

    Do you not know how much bacteria there is on your hands? Such Wind Dew, if used, the sess rate will be greatly decreased!

    "He has gone crazy!"

    "He must have!"

    Everyone was copsing emotionally.

    This was simply the beginning.

    Every single spiritual grass?

    Pluck them out!

    Every single liquid?

    Retrieve it directly!

    There were mutated beasts?

    Kill!

    ...

    Wait.

    Chen Feng¡¯s violent manner of gathering was just beginning.

    In the learning forum, in Chen Feng¡¯s livestream room, and everywhere else, everyone who saw this scene was stunned. If the actions of other participants could be called the perfect demonstration of textbook-like gathering methods, teaching the viewers how materials were supposed to be gathered, then Chen Feng¡¯s methods could be called the perfect demonstration of the opposite of what the textbooks taught!

    Every single material gathered by Chen Feng was not perfect.

    "No, I can¡¯t take this anymore!"

    "Ah ah ah ah ah!"

    "If I keep watching this, I will die."

    "This is simply doing everything wrong..."

    A lot of producers who initially joined the stream room to me Chen Feng couldn¡¯t continue watching this anymore. This was especially true for those virgins with obsessivepulsive disorder, this felt like a disaster to them.

    Soon, some producers couldn¡¯t take this anymore and left.

    After leaving, they started posting threads at the learning forum to berate Chen Feng. This led to a lot of people joining Chen Feng¡¯s livestream room to watch him. Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s poprity increased greatly.

    The livestream room was almost filled with nothing but criticism of Chen Feng.

    "Brute!"

    "Unforgivable!"

    "This is simply an insult to the act of gathering materials!"

    "This is simply an act of destruction."

    The chat in his room was flooded.

    All sorts of bigwig producers came out to denounce this.

    Despite them knowing that the reason for Chen Feng to do this was to increase his speed, despite them knowing that this method would definitely fail during the production stage, they still found this intolerable.

    What was the meaning of having a gathering stage as part of thepetition?

    As a producer, one had to be familiar with their materials!

    If one was not even clear with where their required materials came from and what characteristics they had, only concentrating on producing by following the instructions on the forms, how far could one go?

    Could one produce the strongest gene?

    No!

    Hence, material gathering was also a test of one¡¯s foundations.

    It had a very deep meaning to it.

    As for Chen Feng?

    He was simply damaging thispetition!

    "Too excessive."

    Some old producers found this intolerable. "He is simply here to mess things up!"

    Unfortunately, Chen Feng was not able to hear all this. If he actually heard this, he would definitely ask, if he was here to mess things up, then what about all those producers that were busymenting here...

    As for their protest?

    Who do they think they are?

    As long as no rules were vited, he could do as he wished!

    Along with the passing of time, Chen Feng was progressing greatly in his material gathering.

    In two hours, 30%pletion!

    In four hours, 50%pletion!

    In six hours, 80%pletion!

    In eight hours,plete!

    Those materials that were originally impossible to bepletely gathered had beenpleted by him with brute force! All the materials only had half their original effectiveness, though.

    Now, Chen Feng had sessfully entered the third stage, gene production!

    "Will he seed?" someone asked suddenly.

    Shua!

    Almost everyone looked at him with an expression that suggested they were looking at an idiot.

    Seed?

    Are you kidding me?

    That was a 5-star E-ss form!

    A super difficult form!

    Even in the Gene Rookie Competition, which was filled with the cream of the crop, those who chose a 5-star form would not exceed 100 participants. Among them, a vast majority were peak intermediate producers!

    Chen Feng?

    They looked at his information.

    Mhm...

    20-star beginner producer?

    Tooughable.

    Without a doubt, the person who asked this question was a trueyman who was simply here to watch the show.

    Producing sessfully?

    The sess rate for such high-difficulty forms was extremely low when one first produced them. Something that even arge amount of intermediate producers did not dare to touch. For a beginner producer like Chen Feng, it was questionable if he could evenplete a 1-star E-ss form. As for a 5-star E-ss form? He simply had zero chance of seeding.

    Furthermore...

    The crux was that all the materials he¡¯d gathered were defective materials!

    Almost none of his materials were in proper condition.

    Among his 1,200 types of materials, at least 1,000 of them had their effectiveness greatly reduced. With such defective materials, could he seed?

    Ridiculous!

    "Camping for Chen Feng¡¯s failure."

    "Above poster +1"

    "Above poster +2"

    The chat rooms were getting spammed.

    Chen Feng¡¯s livestream room was getting extremely hot. At this moment, the poprity of his room had even surpassed arge number of celebrity producers.

    The current poprity of Chen Feng¡¯s room was at a totally different level.

    These producers had been here enduring their disgust toward Chen Feng all this time just to witness his final failure!

    A certain professor in a certain ssroom had even tuned into Chen Feng¡¯s livestream.

    "Students."

    "Come, look at this."

    "Chen Feng¡¯s gathering method is a perfect example of how things shouldn¡¯t be done. See, at this moment, the hand should be used like this, instead of the brute force he used..."

    The professor spoke frankly with an air of confidence.

    Every single action of Chen Feng¡¯s was used as an example of how things shouldn¡¯t be done.

    Now...

    All of them were waiting for the result.

    They needed it to educate those wild cultivators and those who nned to take shortcuts that, after using such brute force, destroying thepetition in such a manner, nothing good would result.

    "Guess which step Chen Feng will fail at?"

    "I think it should be the gene search step. Chen Feng is, after all, still a newbie, yet he dared to choose such a form. I think that he won¡¯t be able to even get through the gene search step."

    "He¡¯s only at such a level, he will definitely fail to get through the gene search step."

    "I think so too."

    "It is quite a regret to not be able to see the incubator liquid formed by a thousand types of defective materials..."

    Everyone was happily gossiping.

    They were finally getting to see what they wanted to see most.

    At this very moment.

    Gene production, began!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Light shed.

    Chen Feng prepared all the materials. This was the virtual world; hence, the system would assist them toplete a lot of mundane works. He did not to waste too much time doing trivial things.

    Hum¡ª

    The aquarhino¡¯s blood started hovering.

    At that instant, Chen Feng entered the digitized mode.

    "Bang!"

    In the virtual livestream room, almost all the viewers followed him into the digitized world.

    This was one of the benefits of a virtual world. It ensured a full experience to the viewer¡¯s spiritual body, digitized world included!

    "Bang!"

    Several hundreds of thousands of genes flickered around.

    "So many gene fragments."

    "Worthy of being the aquarhino blood essence."

    Everyone eximed in admiration. Unsurprisingly, they saw Chen Feng standing there dazed in the digitized world without any reaction whatsoever.

    First step, gene search, 1,000 strains of genes were required.

    Incredibly frightening.

    The incredibly high amount of gathering required for the aquarhino gene was not only applicable to its required materials, it was also the same for the genes. This Chen Feng had probably not thought of this before he came into this digitized world, right?

    "He is most probably terrified now."

    "Haha, even I had just found out that 1,000 gene fragments are required here. Even if there are a lot of repetitive genes, it will require a lot of time, right? I wonder if Chen Feng can actually find all the genes."

    "66666666"

    Everyone discussed spiritedly.

    However, at this moment, Chen Feng moved.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Both his eyes were closed.

    He did not grab toward a certain gene fragment with caution. Instead, he boldly stretched his hand and started grabbing wildly in the digitized world, grabbing a whole bunch of gene fragments every single time!

    The first time, he grabbed several tens of strains of genes!

    The second time, he grabbed another several tens of strains of genes!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Both his hands started working.

    "????"

    Almost everyone there had a dumbfounded expression.

    What was this?

    Gene search?

    Search my ass!

    Open your eyes wide. How is this a gene search? This is simply a gene plunder, right? This is simply the act of plundering the digitized world with brute force!

    What on earth was Chen Feng thinking?

    Everyone had a stupefied expression.

    Since they did not have the form, they were not clear on whether what Chen Feng did was correct or wrong.

    However, such a manner...

    It couldn¡¯t be correct, right?

    One could say that the correct steps were wrongly executed by him.

    "Seeking for sensationalism."

    An old producer sneered.

    He had clearly seen the truth. Chen Feng had simply given up on thepetition. Instead, he was using such a method to win some fame for himself, marketing himself through this!

    "Is he considering himself to be an online celebrity?"

    Everyone came to realize the truth.

    Seeding?

    How could this seed? He was simply doing as he wished!

    They had also recalled that, nowadays, as the virtualmunity grew in size, a lot of people started to fake things online in order to attract the attention of the public.

    There were even some who deliberately stirred up trouble to attract attention!

    Regardless of whether the viewers were insulting or criticizing these people, as long as attention was paid to these people, they seeded. Furthermore, using the fame won by getting criticized by the public, one could still earn a huge amount of money.

    And now, the same thing seemed to be happening in Chen Feng¡¯s livestream room.

    "Damn it."

    A lot of people came to realize the truth.

    Seeding?

    He did not need to produce it sessfully!

    He was deliberately acting dumb in order to attract the attention of others.

    A lot of people started checking the current poprity of Chen Feng¡¯s livestream and found that, inadvertently, Chen Feng¡¯s poprity had surpassed arge majority of celebrity producers!

    Higher poprity than those genius celebrities!

    "We were deceived," everyone cried out in rm.

    They knew of the ways one might use to be an online celebrity. However, they had never expected that even a producer would also use such methods to market himself!

    Was he not afraid of getting banned?

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Chen Feng was still grabbing wildly with his eyes closed.

    A lot of producers saw this as trickery.

    "Protesting Chen Feng!"

    "Scram, Chen Feng!"

    "Rejecting online celebrity producer!"

    "Seeking sensationalism, deceiving others to gain attention!"

    A group of people started raining their bullets.

    Thus, more and more people noticed this. However, they did not leave. Instead, they stayed with an angry feeling of getting deceived, hoping that more woulde to realize the truth.

    Soon, Chen Feng¡¯s livestream room was flooded with criticism.

    "Too hateful!"

    A lot of people that had realized the truth were now raging.

    In their heart, producers were a noble existence, low-level producers included!

    Hence, when they realized that they had been yed around like a monkey, they were even angrier. A lot of them started reporting Chen Feng without hesitation, aiming to get him banned!

    They had to let him learn the consequences of offending the circle of producers!

    However, at this moment, a loud echo resounded.

    Thump!

    The blood essence shattered.

    Along with the blood essence, arge majority of the genes were destroyed. Only the gene fragments chosen by Chen Feng remained, flickering with a bizarre radiance in the digitized world.

    First step, gene search,pleted.

    "What?"

    "????"

    In Chen Feng¡¯s livestream room.

    The nonstop criticism stopped abruptly. There was a momentary pause in the livestream room with millions of viewer.

    Everyone had dumbfounded expressions.

    "Su-seeded?"

    How was this possible?!

    Sess!

    First step, gene search,pleted.

    1,000 gene strains had beenpletely assembled under a situation where Chen Feng had both eyes closed and he was grabbing wildly using both his hands. All the producers in the virtual livestream room were dazed for a long time.

    They wanted to know: how had this seeded?

    Or...

    How was this possible?!

    If it wasn¡¯t something they¡¯d witnessed with their own eyes, they would not have believed something like this had happened! When had gene search be so simple?

    "I must be hallucinating."

    "Me too."

    Two people happily exchanged nces; however, grief was stered all over their faces the next moment.

    Hallucination?

    Together?

    Were these two idiots?

    At this time, a series of bullets were again being fired in the livestream room. Those yman viewers who were only here to watch the show¡¯ that were reprimanded for their ignorance earlier had came online one after another.

    "These idiots got their faces pped furiously."

    "Where¡¯s your counter?"

    "66666666 is this the so-called getting yed like a monkey? You all enjoyed being a monkey so much?"

    "I, your father, am dying fromughter."

    "I think you all are the ones jealous of Chen Feng, right?"

    Everyone was happy to participate in gossiping, while the yman viewers who were only there to watch the show¡¯ felt refreshinglyfortable after getting their revenge.

    What joke was this?!

    Getting criticized by the so-called experts the moment they entered the room, telling them how much Chen Feng was trash, how the yman viewers¡¯ that supported him had brain damage, etc...

    F*ck, who were the ones with brain damage now?

    "I..."

    One producer wanted to exin himself, yet he couldn¡¯t find his words.

    What could he say?

    The truth wasid bare before him.

    They had never expected that a day woulde where a bunch of totalyman viewers could actually despise them in such a way in regard to gene production. Furthermore, they had no way of refuting.

    This damnable Chen Feng!

    Currently, Chen Feng had started the second step of his production.

    Gene reaction.

    In all honesty, the difficulty level of this step was quite high as well. However, after their experience during the first step, gene search, it would be simpler for them to simply watch on as this step progressed. Indeed, Chen Feng easilypleted this step as well. A gene that was radiating with a bizarre glow flickered unceasingly in the digitized world. This was the aquarhino gene!

    A lone aquarhino gene!

    Now, Chen Feng only needed toplete the gene fusion stage and his production would be sessful.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng pressed the power switch.

    The materials for the preparation of the incubator liquid were already ced in the equipment in advance. He only needed to press the power switch when it was required and the reaction process would proceed by itself, creating the incubator liquid.

    Rumble!

    Soon.

    As the incubator liquid preparation waspleted, a liquid with a bizarre color appeared. Chen Feng only needed to drop the aquarhino gene into this liquid in order for it to incubate and the whole production would bepleted.

    However...

    "This color... why is it giving me a weird feeling?"

    "Yeah, this seems to be somewhat different from the description in the introduction details, right?"

    Everyone felt doubtful.

    Only now did all those producers get the chance to start sneering once again. "This is a trash incubator liquid produced by 1,000 defective materials."

    "Finally, the incubator liquid appeared."

    "Ha ha ha, this is the result of 1,000 types of materials?"

    "Too funny."

    They were happy to see this.

    This was also their first time seeing such a unique incubator liquid produced from 1,000 defective materials. The density of the liquid was indeed quite amazing.

    "How are you all so sure that this thing must be a worse-off version?"

    A group of viewers were not satisfied. "Even if the color is somewhat weird and the density seems somewhat diluted, it might be the better version instead, right? Higher density doesn¡¯t signify a better quality anyway."

    "Yeah," another person agreed.

    Now, they were extremely unsatisfied with these producers.

    "What the heck do you know?"

    An old man red at them. "This is the incubator for the aquarhino gene. It is only natural for it to be better the higher the density is. The higher the density, the higher the sess rate! If the density can reach a percentage of 50% or above, the sess rate will be frighteningly high!"

    The other guy sneered. "That is the truth simply because you say so?"

    "This old man here has been researching gene production for many years. Why would I lie to you all?"

    The old man angrily rebuked them. "From its appearance, the color seems extremely diluted. The density of Chen Feng¡¯s liquid is not even 1%! Under such circumstances, the sess rate of his gene fusion will not be more than 0.001%. In such a situation, if he can produce it sessfully, this old man here will take him as my master!"

    So scary?

    Everyone¡¯s heart leaped.

    A sess rate of not higher than 0.001%? Then... wasn¡¯t the probability of it seeding one in a hundred thousand?

    This...

    A scam-like probability indeed.

    Another guy sneered. "Be careful lest what you said actually happens."

    "Ridiculous," the old main said in contempt. "Do you think that I don¡¯t understand this Chen Feng? Ipletely understand him! I once had a student that was just like him! Back then, how honest were we, the producers. In our eyes, there was only production and nothing else. However, the young producers nowadays, for that stupid virtualmunity, in order to gain fame..."

    "Seizing every opportunity to seek sensationalism, using all sort of ways to gain poprity!"

    "This is the type of person I hate the most!"

    "Simply someone who has lost all the face of us producers!" the old man said indignantly.

    "Yeah."

    Some other producers started agreeing with him.

    The other person sneered. "If you all have the guts, wait until Chen Feng is done before saying more. Did he notplete his first step despite everything anyway?"

    Seizing every opportunity to gain fame?

    Everyone possessed different gic abilities. It was quite possible that such a manner of production was a more efficient way of production for Chen Feng. During the first step, gene search, hadn¡¯t he seeded?

    "Gene search is something that can be enhanced through the digitized world. There are all sorts of abilities capable of providing assistance to this." The old man wasn¡¯t bothered with that particr sess and analyzed using his personal experience. "However, as for gene fusion? Even if he can increase the sess rate, it wouldn¡¯t be by arge margin."

    Right at this moment, that drop of aquarhino gene had quietly fallen into the incubator liquid.

    Gene fusion, began!

    "It¡¯s starting."

    Nobody could take their eyes off it.

    Millions of people in the virtual livestream room stared rigidly at Chen Feng¡¯s production.

    One...

    Two...

    Three...

    The aquarhino gene started duplicating.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were sharp as lightning.

    However, after only several duplicates, they paused, seemingly encountering something they couldn¡¯t ovee, and stopped the fusion process.

    "It ended?"

    "Ha ha ha, too funny."

    "The mostical gene fusion in history."

    "Impurities are everywhere in such an incubator liquid that was prepared from those defective materials. When the genes were duplicating, as long as they were blocked by the impurities, there was no way out."

    "Right."

    Everyone sneered.

    And yet, after two seconds, the genes started duplicating once again!

    Furthermore, this time, they were duplicating with a terrifying speed. 10%... 20%... in a short 10 seconds, the duplicated genes filled the liquid.

    The incubator liquid was transformed into a clear blue-colored liquid.

    Gene fusion,plete.

    Chen Feng poured out one tenth of the liquid and sealed the rest.

    The end.

    Production sess.

    At this time, those people that had been criticizing him hadn¡¯t even recovered from their shock.

    ???

    It waspleted just like that?

    They couldn¡¯t imagine the reason the gene duplication that had been affected by the impurities earlier suddenly continued smoothly. Furthermore, how could it bepleted instantly?!

    This was gene fusion!

    For such a gene form with a high difficulty level, even if there were no impurities, using a perfect incubator liquid, the sess rate would still be pitifully low. There were simply too many aspects of it that required trials before seeding!

    A gene fusion needed perfect ¡®evenness¡¯ for it to seed!

    With the existence of those impurities, ¡®evenness¡¯ became something extremely difficult to achieve. Hence, as long as there was a tiny speck of impurity, the production would be affected.

    As for this particr incubator liquid here?

    It was filled with countless impurities!

    Furthermore, Chen Feng was a newbie!

    How could he have seeded?!

    All the producers had a dumbfounded expression, while thoseyman viewers that were criticized earlier started being active, bombarding the opponents with one bullet after another, causing them to be dumbstruck and unable to reply.

    "Where is that so-called one in a hundred thousand probability?"

    "That old man sounded so legit; I was almost convinced by him."

    "Yeah, he even said that he had been researching for many years. Go on, continue making up stories."

    Theyman viewers started sneering.

    They had been unsatisfied with these producers for way too long!

    In all honesty, Chen Feng was only here to join thepetition. Why on earth were all the producers focusing on Chen Feng as if he¡¯d killed their father? Damaging thepetition? Was thepetition something belonging to the producers¡¯ families?!

    Now, all the producers were dumbstruck and unable to retort.

    Retort?

    What could they use as a retort?

    Regardless of how they retorted, it would be pointless!

    Chen Feng had seeded, striking them down with this cruel fact.

    "Camping for the old man to take Chen Feng as his master."

    "Above poster+1"

    "Happily watching."

    Everyoneughed crazily.

    Compared to other livestream rooms that were calm andcked excitement, Chen Feng¡¯s livestream room was unbelievingly happening. Due to this incident, Chen Feng¡¯s poprity increased once again.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The viewers increased without stop.

    Currently, everyone was paying attention to a single thing. The aquarhino gene produced by Chen Feng, this gene reagent reputed as the strongest defense among E-ss genes, how powerful was it?!

    Everyone was looking forward to it.

    Not much time was left in the current round. Arge majority of the producers had already sessfully produced their gene reagents. This was a Gene Rookie Competition joined by participants worldwide, with viewers reaching over 100 million!

    There were only millions of people in Chen Feng¡¯s virtual livestream room.

    As for the other viewers?

    They were all viewing the production of those genuine celebrity producers.

    Layman viewers were not small in amount; however, a lot of them were still here with an attitude to learn, hoping to learn something from thispetition. They had learned a lot, ranging from materials gathering to gene production.

    For example¡ª

    Qin Hai with the highest poprity.

    He was 23 years old, male, and a superstar producer with 300 million viewers in his virtual livestream room. He was a person possessing a frightening amount of fans.

    His attractiveness index was extremely high as well, as he was astonishingly handsome.

    The main reason for his poprity was due to how every single motion of his, and every single production, even material gathering, was textbook-like.

    Watching his production was a type of pleasure in itself.

    One could also learn a lot from watching his material gathering.

    Coupled with the terrifying background he had, and this being the first time he¡¯d joined thepetition, it had lent a frightening poprity to his room with 300 million viewers!

    This was Qin Hai.

    An extremely powerful producer with the highest chance to be the champion of the currentpetition.

    At this time, in Qin Hai¡¯s livestream room.

    He was gracefullypleting the final step of gene production, gene fusion. Those exceptionally lively genes became docile in his hands and started the fusion process with a smoothness that gave the viewers an iparablyfortable feeling.

    Ten secondster, productionplete!

    The chat in his room exploded.

    "It¡¯s sofortable to watch."

    "Ah ah ah ah this was totally a pleasure. This is what true gene production looks like!"

    "Those who just returned from Chen Feng¡¯s room are expressing their grief."

    "Chen Feng??? What do you mean?"

    "You all can go to the learning forum to take a look and find out what happened."

    Among the praise-filled chat, there were a group of victims that hade from Chen Feng¡¯s room. Some felt curious and checked it out, only to return with dumbfounded expressions on their faces.

    "Simply..."

    "What¡¯s the matter?"

    The others were curious. "He failed his production?"

    "No, he seeded. However..."

    That person had an odd expression on his face, as if they had swallowed shit. "Hard to describe."

    "Better than Qin Hai?"

    "How is that possible?"

    "What¡¯s the point in watching him, then?"

    That person shook his head as he continued watching Qin Hai who was winding up the production process. "See, even when cleaning up, Qin Hai maintains his gracefulness. If I was a woman, I would surely be his wife."

    Another session of praises in the chat.

    Compared to Chen Feng¡¯s room, the mood in this room was totally different.

    Contempt?

    Naturally, there were words of contempt in this room.

    However, such words would only appear asionally in the chat, only to be flooded by the endless praises. It was simply something nobody noticed as the chat never stopped its furious movement.

    This was Qin Hai¡¯s poprity.

    Incredibly terrifying.

    As of now, the production of the 5-star E-ss reagent chosen by Qin Hai had beenpleted.

    In a different livestream room, there were around ten million viewers. The mood here was also different from Chen Feng¡¯s or Qin Hai¡¯s room. Here, it was filled with humor.

    The producer was a beautiful young girl.

    Mhm...

    Yun Xiaoduo.

    Despite her age being 22 years old, she had the appearance of a 16-year-old. Wearing a blue- and white-colored navy uniform, she was sitting on top of a shaggy ball with a bored expression as she stared nkly ahead. Beside her was a grey-colored donkey standing on its two feet. Currently, the donkey was painstakingly engaging in gene production.

    That¡¯s right!

    That was a donkey!

    A donkey that knew how to produce genes!

    Everyone was stupefied when they first entered this room.

    This mood...

    "Why is a donkey producing?" someone asked with a stupefied expression.

    Mutant?

    It shouldn¡¯t be. If this furry donkey was a mutant, what was this young girl doing here? Could it be that thepetition allowed two people to participate together?

    "Ah."

    Someone exined. "This donkey is something little Miss Yun summoned with her ability. Hence, it naturally counts as hers."

    "Oh."

    The other guy felt enlightened.

    Wait.

    Even with this, it still sounds wrong?

    Which donkey could produce genes?

    However.

    When he asked his second question, nobody bothered replying to him anymore. He looked at the chat and noticed that his question was lost amid a session of craze-like spams.

    "Pretty youngdy staring nkly everyday."

    "Bored everyday 233333[1]."

    "My life is iparable to a donkey..."

    "Donkey? I want to be that shaggy Yellowball, all right?"

    "Damn, is the name of Lord Yellowball something you can use casually?"

    "My life is iparable to a ball..."

    The chat moved with a crazy speed.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The hairy donkey flung both its forehooves as the gene went through the final fusion step.

    "Little Fur."

    The youngdy looked at the donkey with a pitiful expression, "When are you going to finish?"

    "Ao¡ª" Donkey replied.

    "Faster." The youngdy had a pleading expression on her face. "I still need to continue watching the TV series tonight."

    Yun Xiaoduo.

    A special summoner.

    Due to one of her summons possessing extremely formidable production ability, she became a gene producer, self-proimed super-popr pretty youngdy.

    Her hobbies include staring out nkly and watching TV series, and she possessed a poprity only second to Qin Hai¡¯s.

    At this time, two clumps of shining gas shot out of both the donkey¡¯s ears.

    "Hu¡ª"

    Gene production,plete.

    Shua!

    Final step, sealing it up.

    5-star E-ss gene, production sess.

    "It actually seeded!"

    "This is the first time Xiaoduo challenged a brand new 5-star E-ss form, right?"

    "Worthy of being Xiaoduo indeed."

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah, such a powerful donkey."

    Once again, the chat moved furiously.

    At this time, arge amount of the participants had also finished their gene production.

    Apart from Qin Hai and Yun Xiaoduo, there were still a lot of extremely popr producers. There were also several producers with around eight to nine million viewers. Each of them was a super genius. As for those mediocre livestream rooms with low poprity, extremely formidable producers might be hidden among them as well.

    The Gene Rookie Competition was such an unordinarypetition.

    Shua!

    The countdown began.

    A lot of producers who had yet toplete their production started increasing their speed. As for those who were still a long way offpletion, they gave up directly. After ten minutes, thepetition entered the scoring stage.

    "It¡¯s starting!"

    Everyone had a solemn mood.

    Scoring!

    How effective one¡¯s gene reagent would be was decided through the final score.

    Regardless of the star rating or the difficulty of the gene reagent, it was no longer important. Only the gene that resisted the strongest energy attack would receive the highest score!

    "Shua!"

    All the livestreams stopped.

    In the sky, there was nothing else except countless amounts of dazzling auroras.

    At this moment, regardless of which livestream room one was in, only the same scene could be seen, the gene scoring segment and the effectiveness evaluation segment for the strongest defensive gene.

    "I wonder who will be the top scorer."

    Everyone was looking forward to it.

    Despite this top-scorer position only being for this round, it still contained an unordinary meaning attached to it.

    In the learning forum, countless people started voting in the forum polls, guessing the final results.

    In this round, 200 participants had chosen 5-star E-ss gene forms. However, only 30 of them ultimately seeded in producing them. The rest were all eliminated!

    Only dead-end awaited those who rashly selected a form that surpassed their own capabilities.

    The 30 who had survived were all listed publicly. Apart from this, those 4-star E-ss forms were also capable of disying an extremely powerful effect! Among the several hundreds of producers that produced 4-star E-ss gene reagents, there was a particr producer who had even unexpectedly produced a mutated 4-star gene!

    Mutated 4-star, super powerful defense!

    Shua!

    Everyone voted.

    Qin Hai...

    Yun Xiaoduo...

    Countless people supported their idols.

    When the public noticed that there were actually someone voting for Chen Feng, the public nked momentarily. No one expected that someone would actually vote for Chen Feng!

    Despite...

    His chosen form being the nominally strongest form!

    However, the quality of a gene production was not only rted to the strength and difficulty of the form. It was also rted to one¡¯s production level and choice of materials!

    Had Chen Feng met the standards?

    Obviously not.

    The incubator liquid produced out of 1,000 defective materials was simply an iparably scam-like existence. Despite Chen Feng seeding in his production by a fluke, what about the impurities contained within? That huge amount of impurities!

    That aquarhino gene was simply a knock-off product!

    As for Qin Hai, Yun Xiaoduo, and the others?

    They had chosen the most outstanding materials, started their productions in an extremelyfortable condition, and produced a gene in a perfect manner. Compared to the roller-coaster unorthodox methods of Chen Feng, they were totally different!

    Such genes, how could they be weak?

    Which of them were superior and which were inferior?

    A single nce was sufficient for a lot of people to draw their conclusion.

    Naturally, for arge amount of people here: Who was Chen Feng? They had no idea!

    What was interesting was the fact that in every single virtual livestream room, a goal appeared. In ordance to the votes of the fans, the final goal of the producers would be altered.

    This was simply a small event organized by the livestream rooms for fun.

    Arge majority of the super-popr livestream rooms had the goal of either being the champion, the top three, or even the top ten. Only, in Chen Feng¡¯s room, the goal was¡ª

    Entering the top thousand.

    The goal was to only survive the elimination.

    They were really curious. Could that aquarhino gene filled with impurities produced by Chen Feng resist the aurora attack?

    At this moment, the aurora in the sky started flickering. Everyone was in a solemn mood. They knew that the evaluation to decide the strongest defensive gene had begun!

    "Bang!

    The terrifying aurora attack descended.

    Chapter 123: Final Evaluation!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Final Evaluation!

    Countless people had their heads raised, looking upward.

    In the sky, a star gleamed as several thousand aurora rays blossomed and shot toward the ground.

    "Is iting?"

    Chen Feng raised his head with a solemn expression.

    Only he himself knew the power of the aquarhino gene. He knew that there were definitely countless amounts of people that did not believe in him. However, so what if they did not believe in him?

    This time, he would certainly emerge out of this round of elimination!

    "Bang!"

    The resplendent aurora rays descended.

    Several thousand aurora rays started bombarding every single one of the producers left in the area.

    "Activate!"

    Chen Feng activated the gene reagent in his hand.

    "Hum¡ª"

    At this moment, Aquarhino¡¯s Rampart was disyed.

    In front of Chen Feng, a faintyer of watery light appeared, blocking the aurora.

    Blocked!

    Chen Feng was overjoyed.

    This was the power of Aquarhino¡¯s Rampart!

    This was the so-called defense evaluation. As was mentioned in the rules, only one standard of measurement was applied in this round. Everyone only needed to face the strongest energy attack they could.

    At the same time, almost all the producers there activated their gene reagent.

    "Bang!"

    Some had ice shields appearing before them.

    Some had earth walls appearing before them.

    There were even some who had a mutated beast appearing before them.

    The choice of gene reagents differed from each other. There were even some who had chosen gene reagents that increased the defense of their physical body.

    Every one of them had their own choice.

    Ding.

    The evaluation began.

    Current energy power: 100 units

    "Bang!"

    A sh of aurora.

    The terrifying energy attack descended from the skies. The only thing one could do was to defend! Use the gene reagent one produced to defend!

    Everyone resisted the first wave of attack.

    At this time, the aurora started to increase in power.

    120 units!

    150 units!

    200 units!

    The terrifying energy increased in power unceasingly.

    "Bang!"

    Light cracked.

    An earth wall copsed.

    Every single destroyed gene reagent would receive their score in ordance to the intensity of the aurora energy they resisted before being destroyed.

    The score for this earth wall reagent: 200 points!

    The evaluation continued.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    A never-ending eruption of aurora.

    A session of gene reagents started to fail and copse. On the other hand, a majority of the producers who hadsted till now had their score greatly increased.

    Ice shield gene reagent¡ª280 points.

    Copper transformation gene reagent¡ª282 points.

    ...

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    One copse after another, one producer after another departed the arena with a dimmed expression.

    The aurora energy was still increasing in power!

    "Howl¡ª"

    Someone howled.

    After consuming the gene reagent, that person¡¯s body was enhanced to the point where he was several times stronger than he had originally been. However, he still ultimately failed to resist the aurora¡¯s attack, receiving a final score of 340 points, and left the area with a dimmed expression.

    "Condense."

    Someone disyed incredibly powerful defenses. However, due to poor judgment, the defensive gene chosen was one with an explosive power but a short active duration of only one second, and they could only helplessly leave the arena. The final score for that person was 360 units.

    Currently, the evaluation was still continuing.

    "Xiu!"

    "Xiu!"

    Under the bombardment of the aurora, a lot of people had left the arena.

    As time passed, the scores of the people leaving were getting higher as well. Toward the end, less than a hundred participants were left standing!

    Among these hundred survivors, the gene reagents they¡¯d produced were at the very least 4-star E-ss!

    They were the figureheads of this second round!

    In the virtual livestream rooms, everyone¡¯s emotions surged.

    A faint outline of the top hundred could already be seen. Despite it being a temporary ranking, in a lot of instances, these were the ones who ultimately end up in the top hundred towards the end of thepetition.

    Every single one of these producers was iparably powerful.

    Using their own methods, they had blocked all the aurora attacks up until now.

    At this moment, almost all the viewers shifted their attention from the rooms of the eliminated producers to those who survived, the rooms of the less than a hundred remaining producers.

    What startled everyone was the fact that Chen Feng was still in thepetition.

    "Chen Feng?"

    "The knock-off aquarhino gene?"

    Some realized.

    When the aquarhino gene was produced, it caused quite a shock. After all, it was the nominally strongest gene in this round. However, when they knew that this was an impurity-filled gene reagent produced by defective materials, they lose their interest in Chen Feng. However, no one expected Chen Feng tost till now!

    "It has truly been hard on him."

    "Using such a method to enter the top hundred, he has earned my respect."

    Countless people entered Chen Feng¡¯s room and liked[1] his stream.

    In their eyes, regardless of his strength, the very fact that he dared to choose the aquarhino gene none dared to choose and had sessfully produced it was an extremely impressive feat in itself.

    However, what they were more curious with was: how long could Chen Fengst?

    "He should get eliminated soon, right?"

    An old producer shook his head. "I produced a lot of aquarhino genes in the past and have also seen what Chen Feng did here. The amount of impurities is simply too high. Only one third of the aquarhino gene reagent¡¯s power can be disyed. I suppose the only reason Chen Fengsted till now is due to the aquarhino gene being an originally powerful gene where even a third of its power was still sufficiently powerful tost this long."

    "True," another producer agreed.

    Based on their experience, this gene reagent was indeed filled with impurities.

    So that was the case.

    Everyone felt enlightened. It was understandable that the aquarhino gene that required 1,000 materials and 1,000 gene fragments to be much stronger than ordinary gene reagents.

    "Seems like Chen Feng will not be able tost longer."

    "It is already very difficult for him to reach this point."

    Everyonemented.

    At this time.

    Xiu!

    The aurora once again increased in power.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    The defense of a huge amount of people copsed.

    When the number of surviving participants became lower than one hundred, the aurora increased in power furiously. In a single second, there was a four or five times increase in power. Several tens of people had their defenses copse and they left the arena immediately. Almost all the 4-star reagents end up eliminated. Even among the 5-star defensive reagents, there were arge amount of eliminations due to their defenses copsing.

    Only eight remained!

    What surprised everyone was¡ª

    Chen Feng was still here.

    "????"

    "Why is he still there?"

    "Didn¡¯t someone say that the aquarhino gene could only disy one third of its power?"

    Everyone had a dumbfounded expression.

    Could it be that the aquarhino gene was powerful to such an extent?

    "It is indeed only one third of the power." The old producer nced at Chen Feng without a change in his expression. "Hence, Chen Feng survived. Those other producers having their defenses copse can only show that the genes they chose were not really suited to face such energy attacks. Hence, they deserved their elimination. However, this is where Chen Feng¡¯s advance stops."

    "Look at the remaining survivors," the old producer hinted.

    What?

    Everyone instinctively nced at the survivors and their heart immediately thumped.

    Qin Hai...

    Yun Xiaoduo...

    5-star!

    All 5-star genes!

    They had all chosen 5-star E-ss forms!

    Furthermore, regardless of production level or materials gathered, they greatly surpassed Chen Feng! These people, they were figureheads even among those who had chosen 5-star reagents!

    Apart from Chen Feng, all these were explosively popr celebrity producers.

    What was frequently heard could be repeated in detail. The public could even name every one of these survivors by virtue of their poprity alone.

    "It¡¯s actually them...

    "All the remaining eight survivors are also so powerful?"

    Everyone was shocked.

    Every single one of them was either a high-level or peak intermediate producer. Every single one of them had produced a perfect 5-star E-ss defensive gene. No matter how they looked at it, among these eight, Chen Feng was the weakest.

    "Look at this, the first to be eliminated will definitely be Chen Feng," some said.

    At this time, the evaluation continued once again.

    "Xiu!"

    A sh of aurora.

    Bang!

    Two celebrity producers had their defenses copse. However, Chen Feng still remained.

    "This..."

    Everyone abruptly widened their eyes.

    He was still there?

    This was illogical!

    An attack of such a level, how could the aquarhino gene with only one third of its effectiveness resist it?

    "Xiu!"

    Another sh of aurora.

    Bang!

    Three celebrity producers had their defenses copse, eliminated.

    Chen Feng remained.

    Now, only three participants remained!

    Chen Feng!

    Qin Hai!

    Yun Xiaoduo!

    Under the aurora attack, Qin Hai, with an energy-formed umbre, blocked all the aurora attacks before him with a resolute expression on his face. Yun Xiaoduo, with a shield on her wrist, blocked all the aurora attacks before her in a manner resembling a war goddess. Chen Feng, with the Aquarhino¡¯s Rampart, blocked all the aurora attacks and stood there loftily.

    "How is this possible?"

    A countless amount of people cried out in surprise.

    They had, with their own eyes, watched as the defense of the celebrity producers tottered before copsing. Chen Feng¡¯s defense, on the other hand, was as firm as a rock, not wavering under the attack!

    Where was the so-called impurity?

    Where was the so called one-third effectiveness?

    You have got to be kidding me, right?

    "How is it possible for him to remain?"

    Everyone was endlessly amazed.

    That old producer opened his mouth once again. "Actually..."

    "Shut up!"

    "Scram!"

    "F*ck off!"

    A series of curses flooded the chat, shutting him down.

    The old producer had bitterness stered all over his face. His analysis was not supposed to be wrong. ording to his experience, with so many impurities, even one-third effectiveness was already an exaggeration!

    But then, why was Chen Feng still there?

    There was only one possibility for that¡ªgic ability!

    "He definitely has a purification-type gic ability," some guessed.

    Purification!

    Something able to get rid of impurities.

    "Impossible," someone retorted immediately. "I have seen such an ability before. Normally, it could only expel a small amount of impurities. A huge volume of impurities like what were contained within Chen Feng¡¯s reagent are simply impossible to be cleansed through purification."

    "If so, what on earth is happening, then?"

    No one knew!

    Just as everyone was bewildered, another aurora descended.

    Bang!

    One elimination!

    Only two remained.

    Chapter 124: Who Is First ce?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng was eliminated?

    Everyone instinctively looked at the participants.

    However, they surprisingly found that the one who was eliminated this time was actually Yun Xiaoduo! Under the reinforced aurora ray, her defensive barrier had copsed directly!

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, so angry!" Yun Xiaoduo raged. "Little Fur, no dinner for you tonight!"

    "Ao¡ª"

    The little donkey crouched there, feeling wronged.

    Could it be med?

    It had already disyed its full strength!

    A brand new 5-star E-ss form was the absolutely highest level of quality he had ever done, yet, who knew that there were two other freaks here that were better than him?!

    At this time, in the livestream room, a huge amount of people entered. No one had expected Chen Feng to actually reach this level. It was now the final confrontation between Chen Feng and Qin Hai!

    The defensive gene chosen by Qin Hai was the second strongest defensive gene after the aquarhino gene. Furthermore, it was a perfectly produced outstanding gene. As for Chen Feng? He was using the impurity-filled strongest gene that had been subsequently ¡®purified.¡¯ It seemed like Qin Hai would definitely be thest survivor; however, now, nobody dared to conclude in advance, as this was how Chen Feng had, against everyone¡¯s expectations, survived one time after another!

    Nobody opened their mouth.

    This moment, everyone held their breath as they waited for the arrival of the final ray of light.

    "Bang!"

    An extremely powerful aurora attack descended.

    "Ka!"

    A crisp sound of a barrier shattering.

    Everyone instinctively raised their head to look over. Next, their hearts jolted furiously.

    "It is actually..."

    "God!"

    Everyone felt their hands shaking.

    Under the dazzling radiance of the aurora, the arena where several thousands of people stood previously, at this moment, had only one person standing! Chen Feng!

    He was still there!

    Despite the fact that his defensive barrier was currently tottering, despite the fact that his face was currently somewhat pale, he had still survived till the end, bing the holder of the first ce for this second round!

    Under the aurora, the lonesome silhouette raised his head and smiled as he said, "Seems like I won?"

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    Evaluation ended.

    Chen Feng, evaluation score: 960 points, first ce without question!

    "Hua¡ª"

    Everyone was in an uproar.

    No one had expected that Chen Feng would be the one to survive till the end in the second round. This Chen Feng that had been enduring waves of criticism ever since he appeared.

    A terrifying dark horse!

    At a certain university.

    The production professor was using Chen Feng as an example of what one should not do.

    "See, this posture is wrong. This method is also wrong. Every single spiritual grass he gathered, hemitted at least five theoretical mistakes."

    "A production like this, how is it possible for it to be sessful?"

    "A producer like this, how could he improve?!"

    The old professor earnestly taught his ss.

    However, right this moment, the news window popped up. On the huge screen, on the graph used to criticize Chen Feng, a window bearing the news popped up.

    Chen Feng became the winner of the second round of thepetition.

    ??

    All the teachers and students had stupefied expressions on their face.

    Chen Feng?

    Winner?

    Everyone exchanged nces. This was somewhat awkward.

    At this moment, along with the release of the news, Chen Feng was truly popr.

    Countless amazed people started checking out the information about him.

    Gold ant gene...

    Thundersnake gene...

    Dealing with Professor Tao...

    Chen Feng¡¯s information was exposed without stop. With amazement, they found thatpared with Qin Hai, Chen Feng¡¯s information appeared like the story of a legend!

    "Only graduated from high school three months ago yet encountered so many incidents already?"

    "Only a single look is required to figure out that this is totally a troublemaker."

    "I saw from the information, he seems to have only entered the profession for three months?"

    "To hell with that! Three months is merely something he submitted to the production association for audit. Who would believe that is the truth? The information also stated that he is a 20-star beginner producer. Do you believe that?"

    "True."

    Everyone started discussing passionately.

    This time, Chen Feng was really getting popr.

    Known worldwide!

    Regardless of those in great streets or small alleys, anyone who was paying attention to thepetition would know that Chen Feng was the second-round winner of thepetition, temporarily ranked first in the list of participants!

    Naturally, to maintain this temporary poprity he had gained, it would still depend on Chen Feng¡¯s subsequent performance.

    At this time, light swirled.

    Shua!

    Evaluation ended, elimination mechanism activated.

    "Hum¡ª"

    In the air.

    A huge number flickered unendingly.

    Everyone had a solemn mood.

    The evaluation stage was the stage where everyone received a score. Whether one would get eliminated would depend on the passing rate decided after taking into consideration the scores of all the participants.

    Everyone knew their own scores. However, what were the top one thousand scores?

    The top thousand scores were the dividing line deciding the elimination of everyone here.

    This method greatly resembled the university entrance examinations system.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    Finally, the flickering number froze at... 512 points!

    "Bang!"

    The whole area was in an uproar.

    Those with a score lower than 512 points would be directly eliminated!

    Shua!

    Announcement!

    On thepetition rankings, the names of several thousand participants were cked out, eliminating them directly. Those with a score above 512 points would advance to the third round directly.

    The second round officially ended.

    "It ended?"

    A lot of people felt like they had just woken up from a dream.

    This was especially true for those eliminated participants. They had never expected their scores to be out of the top thousand scores.

    Currently, Zhang Lin was also staring nkly at the darkened screen.

    A conspicuous word was on it.

    Eliminated!

    510 points!

    He had never expected his score to be only two units lower than the passing rate! He had actually been eliminated in the second round!

    Two points!

    Only two more points!

    "How did things turn out this way..."

    Zhang Lin powerlessly lowered his head.

    He was shouldering the hope of all the citizens of Gold City!

    He had been too cautious!

    He had chosen a form that would have a perfect sess rate despite its defensive power being on the lower side. He had not expected that his score would be stuck just below the passing rate.

    The round ended.

    Everyone could leave now.

    nkly, Zhang Lin walked out of the building. The first thing he saw there was Mu Yuan who was energetically leaping around.

    "You advanced?" Zhang Lin couldn¡¯t help but to ask.

    "Nope." Mu Yuan rolled his eyes. "I only had a score of 360, how is it possible for me to advance? Haha, I have a virtual movie date with the bunny ear girl tonight!"

    "Hehe..."

    "Virtual movie. The one where your body feels like you are in the movie scene yourself!"

    "If there are some love scenes in the movie, mhm... hehe."

    Mu Yuan was giggling.

    Zhang Lin: "..."

    This guy here seemed to have lost his intelligence. If he could advance with this brain of his, then something was definitely wrong.

    Far away, Zhang Wei walked over to them.

    Zhang Lin felt guilty. "I¡¯m sorry."

    "No worries." Zhang Wei patted his shoulder with excitement. "Continue working hard for next year. You still have a lot of room for growth."

    "Mhm."

    Zhang Lin was about to say something.

    On the sky, the huge screen on the building suddenly soared up, releasing the results of the second roundpetition. A huge shining name list appeared in the air.

    The winner¡ªChen Feng!

    "Chen Feng?"

    Zhang Lin was directly stunned.

    This little brother that had just entered the profession?!

    "This..."

    Zhang Lin couldn¡¯t believe it.

    "I told you. He is very talented."

    Zhang Wei¡¯s tone was filled with pride.

    He knew that a day woulde where Chen Feng soared. However, he had never expected the day to arrive so fast. Reaching such a height when he had only entered the profession for three months!

    Iparably powerful!

    At this time, Chen Feng also walked out of the building.

    "Congrattions."

    Zhang Wei held his emotions back and gave Chen Feng a big hug.

    Chen Feng smiled. "This is for all of us."

    "Naturally." Zhang Weiughed.

    With Chen Feng grabbing the first ce, Gold City could take pride in this. Furthermore, the entirety of Gold City would benefit from this as well. One needed to know that this was a Gene Rookie Competition for the youth of the whole world!

    They returned back to the hotel.

    On the way, Zhang Lin had a very bad mood. Everyoneforted him unceasingly.

    "Get over it, man." Mu Yuanforted him. "See, Chen Feng even failed his university entrance examinations. You are an outstanding graduate of a seeded university. In this aspect, he can¡¯tpete with you at all."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Zhang Lin: "..."

    Was this the way tofort others?

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes.

    Zhang Wei had a ¡®what the f*ck¡¯ expression.

    In other words, this outstanding graduate of a seeded university like him was nowhere near Chen Feng and had ended up getting eliminated?

    Wasn¡¯t this somewhat sorrowful?

    However, he did not know that Chen Feng was actually someone who¡¯d failed his entrance examinations.

    "You did not manage to get into a university from the entrance examinations?"

    Zhang Lin found this somewhat surprising.

    "Mhm, my scores were two points short from being eligible to enter an ordinary university."

    Chen Feng felt somewhat regretful.

    "Oh, oh."

    Zhang Lin understood clearly.

    So this genius Chen Feng, back in the days, hadcked two points to pass as well!

    Two points...

    Exactly the same as his current situation!

    Indeed, everyone had certain aspects they were good at. Chen Feng had an outstanding talent in terms of production. It was understandable for him to be somewhatcking when it came to examinations.

    Zhang Linforted himself, feeling somewhat relieved from that.

    However, Mu Yuan suddenly added a sentence. "Don¡¯t listen to him. This guy failed because he had something to do at thest minute, and was absent from the test of the final subject. Otherwise, he would have graduated with top score."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He felt like strangling Mu Yuan to death.

    He finally knew why this guy had failed to get a girlfriend after so many years!

    Damn!

    With such a nature, if he were to get a girlfriend, it would be abnormal!

    Zhang Lin, on the other hand, did not even have the tears to cry.

    So he was only two points short due to him being absent from the final test? The difference between them was as wide as an ocean! So Chen Feng was a top student as well?

    Whenparing against others, it was indeed infuriating!

    Zhang Lin, with grief all over his face, went to a certain corner and started drawing circles there.

    "I think you should stop dealing him blows," Zhang Wei said in a low voice beside Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng had an innocent expression. This really had nothing to do with him!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Sea City.

    They returned to the hotel.

    Due to the third round being set for three dayster, they had sufficient time to rest and replenish their knowledge.

    Mu Yuan had progressed greatly in his endeavors on the bunny ear girl, so he did not feel any pressure from thepetition. Furthermore, he was going out on dates and out shopping with her every single day. Despite Chen Feng advising Mu Yuan to exercise some control and to get a deeper understanding of the girl first, Mu Yuan was currently thinking with his p*nis instead of his brain. Spring was stered all over his face and he probably had not listened to any of Chen Feng¡¯s advice.

    Zhang Lin was putting great effort into training.

    After the second round had ended, he was even more hardworking than before, gaining Chen Feng¡¯s admiration.

    As for Chen Feng?

    Resting and recovering.

    This three-day rest period was a glory belonging to him alone.

    In every street and alley, almost everywhere, as long as Chen Feng went out, he could see that information pertaining him was everywhere. Everywhere he went, countless people would pay attention to him.

    Only now did he truly realize that he had be a well-known figure.

    "Seems like I don¡¯t have to be afraid of assassination anymore."

    Chen Feng smiled calmly.

    In the future, regardless of who it was that wanted to do something to him, they would need to consider their choices carefully.

    This first ce he¡¯d won was totally worth it.

    However, what Chen Feng wanted was more than this. This was merely the second round of thepetition. There might be a third or fourth round after this.

    He had to be the one to survive till the end!

    Since it was somewhat inconvenient for him to leave his room these few days, he decided to go to the learning forum instead.

    These few days, the discussion on the learning forum was focused on thepetition and the information rted to several other participants and their performance. Hence, the information here was extremely helpful.

    However, Chen Feng did not expect the focus of the learning forum today to actually be him!

    ¡¯The strongest gene series¨Cwhere did the impurities go?¡¯

    Within the thread was an in-depth discussion on the impurities of the aquarhino gene. Chen Feng¡¯s gene was supposed to contain countless impurities. However, in the end, no impurities could be found. The so-called ¡®knock off¡¯ aquarhino gene had, in Chen Feng¡¯s hands, disyed 100% of its might!

    Hence, where did the impurities go?

    Was it purified?

    What ability was capable of purifying so many impurities?

    Could it be aplished by an E ss?

    Even D ss couldn¡¯t aplish that, right?

    What happened, then?

    Chen Feng opened the thread and found that it was simply filled with questions.

    All sorts of guesses were saying that this was rted to Chen Feng¡¯s second gic ability. Some said that it was due to purification, some said it was due to refining, everyone had different opinions.

    The thread also contained a detailed report.

    There were even some who had prepared 1,000 defective materials, attempting to reproduce the results. However, after multiple attempts, none of them seeded. They were still searching for the root of the problem.

    Chen Feng eximed in admiration. "These people are indeed worthy of being schrs."

    These were the people who would perform detailed investigations on the smallest of questions they found.

    As for the question of where the impurities had gone?

    Naturally, those impurities had been poured out.

    When the aquarhino waspleted, didn¡¯t Chen Feng pour out one tenth of it? That was all the impurities.

    Mhm...

    With the activation of Luck Aura, the countless impure particles that were at every nook of the bottle had gathered together. Next, they were easily poured out by Chen Feng.

    It was that simple.

    Hence, the aquarhino he used was indeed thepleted version.

    "Do I need to dispel their doubts?"

    Chen Feng watched on as these schrs answered the questions in the thread seriously, and he couldn¡¯t help but want to reply to the thread. However, after thinking about it, if he were to tell the truth, he might get beaten to death.

    Whatever.

    Chen Feng shook his head.

    No one would believe him even if he told them anyway.

    Three days passed quickly. These few days, Chen Feng had been reading up on all sorts of learning resources regarding thepetition. He had a newfound appreciation of the dedication of those schrs, as he had reaped great gains from these few days of study.

    Currently, in the control room of the building of the virtual worldpany, the employees of the Gene Production Association were going through the final tests and improvements for the third round of thepetition. They needed to prevent any problems or loopholes from arising.

    "Testplete."

    "We can use it tomorrow."

    "Very good."

    The leader, a middle-aged man, nodded his head.

    An old man beside him sighed. "Little Gao, is it too strict for thepetition to be in such manner?"

    Gao Yun Feng. A top research professor at Sea Breeze University.

    Nickname: Mad Ruledemon.

    It was his belief that everything in this world was governed by rules. Only with the existence of suitable rules could all the living beings of this world be controlled! Also known as a somewhat rigid person as he was overly serious in everything. However, in regards to scientific researches and rules setup, he had been quite sessful. Hence, he was hired to set the rules for the currentpetition.

    However, even the old man had never expected the method ofpetition chosen by him would be so simple and direct!

    "Don¡¯t worry," Gao Yunfeng said calmly. "Since you all let me control thepetition, I will filter them out and get the strongest top hundred! The top hundred in the truest sense!

    "Any sort of flukes are useless before me!"

    The old man had a faint smile. "That¡¯s what you said during the second round."

    At this, Gao Yunfeng felt somewhat awkward.

    The goal of the second round was to choose the producers with the strongest foundations. Not only in terms of production, the process of gathering materials was also a part of the round that was heavily reviewed.

    Several hundreds of production materials!

    The effectiveness of every gathered material would need to be reviewed.

    These were all things that would affect the final result.

    These were the rules he had set up.

    As per the rules he¡¯d set, Qin Hai with the strongest foundations or the other two simrly terrifying producers were supposed to be the winner. Even if it was Yun Xiaoduo, he would ept it.

    After all, that damnable donkey was an existence even he couldn¡¯t wrap his head around.

    However, ultimately, Chen Feng was the winner. A fish that had escaped from the of rules he¡¯d set.

    He had reyed the recordings ten times.

    However, he still failed to understand how Chen Feng had be the winner!

    He was the one who had set the rules!

    Yet he couldn¡¯t understand what had happened.

    This was the most vexing thing for him.

    Killing mutated beasts was a barbarous action that was simply no different than those all-brawn-and-no-brain idiots of the Gic Union. Their profession was a noble one¡ªgene producer! Chen Feng¡¯s brutish method of gathering angered him to the point where he had difficulty breathing. Every single action Chen Feng took was wrong!

    However, relying on these wrong methods, Chen Feng had seeded.

    Production sessful.

    Evaluation sessful.

    Gorgeously grabbing first ce.

    Why?

    He still couldn¡¯t understand.

    Cheating?

    Just for Chen Feng, he¡¯d ordered the technicians to work overtime and investigate without stop. However, no problems were found. Everything was very rational. This caused him to be even more vexed.

    Especially for a person like him that liked to have everything under control.

    Gao Yunfeng spoke forthrightly. "I don¡¯t like this person."

    Genius?

    Luck?

    The information pertaining to Chen Feng that he had was different than what the public had. The information he had was more detailed. Professor Tao, Wang family... more information was avable for him.

    After seeing the information, he was certain that Chen Feng was a person who had a knack for stirring up trouble.

    Someone who wouldn¡¯t stay put.

    Comparatively, he preferred a model student like Qin Hai. Outstanding all around, to the point where one couldn¡¯t find any problems with him. This was an example of how producers should be.

    "It¡¯s pointless even if you don¡¯t like him." The old man smiled toyingly. "He might be the final champion, you know."

    "Impossible!" Gao Yunfeng sneered. "His production level and spiritual energy are insufficient. Hence, it is impossible for him to survive till the end. Even if he is somewhat talented, it¡¯s still useless!

    "At least¡ª

    "He won¡¯t be able to survive the third round I¡¯ve set," Gao Yunfeng said proudly.

    It was enough for rules to be trampled upon once.

    For Chen Feng, the fish that had escaped the of his rules, he had worked overtime for several days to perfect and improve the rules for the third round.

    This time, no opportunity would be given to Chen Feng.

    Wanting to survive the round?

    It was possible.

    Kindly progress fair and square, then!

    "Is that so?" The old manughed without saying anything further.

    These people in the teaching profession indeed preferred model students. This old man here instead felt that people like Chen Feng, who possessed peculiar thinking and all sorts of bizarre problem-solving methods, were much stunning existences. This was because Chen Feng¡¯s existence itself had brought more vitality to the wholepetition, making thepetition much more interesting than it was.

    Sea City.

    In a certain luxurious hotel, Qin Hai was silently looking at thepetition records in front of him.

    From the moment Chen Feng had first made his move until the moment where he ultimately won the round, every single step, every single detail, had been reyed countless time by him, analyzing every sort of possibility.

    "Little Hai."

    The butler beside him was somewhat anxious. He was afraid that Qin Hai couldn¡¯t take this blow.

    Qin Hai had, from the moment he¡¯d entered the profession till now, participated in countlesspetitions and never tasted defeat! As long as he participated in apetition, he would emerge as the champion in thatpetition!

    No exceptions!

    This was the terrifying strength Qin Hai possessed!

    Hence¡ª

    Even the Gene Rookie Competition was something that he did not join the moment he hit 18 years old. Instead, he waited until now because if he were to participate, then he had to make sure that he won thepetition.

    However, he did not expect that just at the beginning of thispetition, his victory streak was stopped by someone.

    Qin Hai suddenly smiled. "Interesting."

    The butler was somewhat stunned. "Are you fine?"

    "Of course I¡¯m fine." An excited expression appeared on Qin Hai¡¯s face. "It has been a long time since I met a rival. I originally believed that there was nothing much about thispetition.

    "Chen Feng...

    "Seems like thispetition is going to get interesting." Qin Hai had a smile on his face.

    The butler¡¯s heart jolted. "Little Hai."

    How many years had it been seen he¡¯d seen this child behaving in such a manner?

    He thought carefully and found that since the tenth championship he had won, he had been somewhat lifeless. Despite the expression maintained on his face, most of those smiles were simply maintained as a sign of politeness.

    Now, though, he seemed to have returned to the time when he first participated in apetition.

    Qin Hai raised his head, surging with battle intent. "This time, I must win!"

    Once again, his blood started burning.

 Chapter 126: Third Round!

    Chapter 126: Third Round!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At a certain research institute.

    "Have you obtained any results from the research?"

    "No."

    "Trash." A manager that was tall and slim like a bamboo pole sneered at the several hundred researchers wearing white overcoats in front of him. "What¡¯s the point in thepany hiring you all? Ah? Can¡¯t even research anything out of an E-ss gene. Overtime! Tonight, you must all work overtime! None are allowed to sleep without first obtaining a result!"

    The manager thundered without stop.

    They had toplete their research on this gene!

    A 5-star form possessed high development value. The aquarhino gene¡¯s value was on the lower side originally, something not worth developing. However, if they could produce it sessfully using defective materials...

    All those leftover defective materials from other gene productions...

    Oh.

    They would be able to put those leftover materials to good use.

    This was arge profit!

    As he thought of this, both the eyes of the manager lit up.

    He believed that as soon as they obtained a breakthrough in their research, discovering Chen Feng¡¯s secret of sess in his production, he would definitely get a promotion, bing the new CEO, and would be able to marry his Ms. Perfect!

    A mere E-ss form?

    It wasn¡¯t a problem!

    However.

    The pitiful him had yet to realize just what a project he had endeavored on!

    **

    Sea City.

    In a certain ice cream shop.

    Yun Xiaoduo had both her hands on her hips as she reprimanded the little donkey in front of her, "Hmmph. Remember this. Next time, if you fail to obtain first ce, no more ice cream for you!"

    "Ao¡ª"

    The little donkey felt wronged.

    The producers of this year¡¯spetition were too freakish!

    "Then..." Yun Xiaoduo nted her head as she thought. "True, with that sissy Qin Hai there, I doubt you will be able to get first ce. Mhm, second ce then!"

    "You are only permitted to obtain second ce!"

    "Ao¡ª"

    The little donkey howled.

    "There¡¯s no difference between second and third ce?" Yun Xiaoduo nked for a bit before recalling. "Oh yeah, the rewards for second ce and third ce are the same. Sigh. Just top three, then. Shut up, you are not allowed to talk!"

    "I have already lowered the requirements to top three. You are not allowed to demand more conditions!" Yun Xiaoduo pinched the little donkey¡¯s ear. "Only top three. Do you hear me?"

    "Ao¡ª" the little donkey answered, putting on a pitiful expression.

    "Hmmph, I won¡¯t fall for this." Yun Xiaoduo curled her lips. "This time, you are only allowed to eat ice cream after you win."

    "Go! You haven¡¯t even figured out why you lost. When we go back, go and check out that Chen Feng¡¯spetition records. You are not allowed to leave the room before you figure him out!"

    "You are thepanion of the great me, Yun Xiaoduo!"

    "You can¡¯t be afraid!"

    As she finished, she pinched the long ear of the little donkey as she dragged it away.

    In actuality, almost all the producers here were studying their opponents. Among them, Chen Feng was the only one that everyone would definitely study. Furthermore, they would rewatch his records no less than ten times.

    Those producers like Qin Hai or Yun Xiaoduo could be figured out after studying their production a few times. Even if one couldn¡¯t reproduce what they did, one would still be able to understand what had happened.

    As for Chen Feng?

    Nobody was able to make sense of what had happened, regardless of them being a novice or an experienced producer.

    There were even some who sought guidance from their teacher only to find out that their teacher was unable to make sense of what had happened either.

    With this, things became awkward.

    How had Chen Feng be the winner?

    It became a puzzle.

    However, the most well-spread rumor was saying that Chen Feng possessed a formidable gic ability. At the crucial moment, it was able to perfectly purify the impurities, obtaining victory through it.

    Naturally, only theymen would believe in this.

    As long as one knew even a bit about how things worked in this profession, they would not trust this rumor. However, they did not realize that it was this very amateurish rumor that was the closest to the truth.

    During the three days, everyone was studying their opponents. Some were also recovering.

    Time passed quickly.

    Soon, three days passed and the third round begun.

    At ten sharp, Chen Feng and the rest arrived on time at the arena.

    Shua!

    Light swirled and thepetition began.

    Toward the content of the third round, the learning forum had their own predictions. It might be the strongest attacking gene, the strongest xx gene, etc. Hence, a lot of people had prepared in advance for those contents. However, when the rules of thepetition were officially released, everyone was rmed. No one had expected the third round to be conducted in such a manner.

    "Bang!"

    Light swirled.

    Everyone felt light and shadow sh in front of their eyes before an ancient kingdom appeared before them. At the same time, the voice of the announcement system echoed.

    "Third round, begin!"

    "This is the Eyre Kingdom. Due to a ck dragon wreaking havoc within the kingdom, the king led the soldiers to suppress the dragon. Ultimately, they killed the ck dragon. However, the kingdom also suffered disastrous damages from the war, with countless casualties. The royal bloodline was cursed by the ck dragon with people dying without stop. The Eyre Kingdom is on the brink of copse."

    "And you, as a royal teacher, must assist them as much as possible within ten hours (during the daytime). You can choose a form, or you can use your own form."

    "Saving different individuals will grant you different scores."

    "The final 100 will be decided from the top scores."

    "The rest will be eliminated."

    The ice-cold machine voice descended, rming countless people.

    100 people?

    In the third round, only 100 were allowed to survive?

    No one had expected the rhythm of thepetition to be so vicious. It was only the third round yet they were already trying to decide the top 100 participants.

    The rest¡ª

    Eliminated!

    Only one tenth would remain in every single round!

    At a certain location.

    "Such a method..." someone muttered. "Could that guy be the one who set the rules?"

    "Ah." Another person smiled and replied, "If it¡¯s him, then things are going to get interesting."

    From the very start, thepetition had been somewhat unusual.

    Currently, a screen with a list on it appeared. It was the current circumstances of the Eyre Kingdom. As the royal teacher, the participants were entitled to understand the current circumstances.

    Shua!

    A session of information appeared.

    ----

    Commoners: Mild injuries, 1 point after healing.

    Soldiers: Severe injuries, 3 points after healing.

    Military officers: Internal and external injuries. In ordance to the level of their injuries, one could obtain between 5 points to 20 points after healing.

    ...

    Pce harem: Cursed by ck dragon, 30 points after healing.

    Prince: Cursed by ck dragon, 30 points after healing.

    King: Cursed by ck dragon, 50 points after healing.

    ----

    This was a detailed list.

    A person of different status would have different points.

    Only a day was given. One had to, within a short time, heal more people to obtain more points to be able to survive among the 1,000 participants.

    "This list..."

    Chen Feng contemted.

    It seemed like aplicated list. However, a dividing line could be drawn easily.

    Those with external injuries!

    Those with internal injuries!

    Those cursed!

    All in all, there were only these three types of injuries here.

    Hence, one only needed to choose the corresponding forms for each injury and heal them based on their type of injury. The higher the rank of the injured, the higher the difficulty level would be. However, the points given would be higher as well.

    Curse-type form?

    Chen Feng suddenly realized.

    This was a trap!

    It seemed simple. However, in truth, they were only given a single day.

    In one day!

    One had to heal!

    If the form chosen did not possess a strong enough effect, a lot of internal injuries would require at least three days to heal. This restriction of one day would by itself make a lot of options unavable.

    As for curse...

    Chen Feng nced at the list.

    Despite the strength of the curse not being mentioned, the curse ced on the king was at least D ss or higher! After working painstakingly, even if one couldplete a 5-star form, one could only obtain 100 points!

    This was another trap here.

    "Hence, only external injuries are worth healing."

    Chen Feng understood quickly.

    External injuries could be quickly healed in a simple manner!

    Furthermore, due to the difficulty of the forms that healed such injuries being lower, the exhaustion when producing it would be lower as well. Furthermore, themoners were extremely high in amount. Hence, if one were to choose the form to heal the external injuries, one would be able to rush their gain of points.

    "Ding¡ª"

    "Kindly select a form."

    Shua!

    The gene bank was once again opened.

    Instinctively, Chen Feng looked toward the optimal form for external injury treatment. A 3-star E-ss form. It¡¯s rank wasn¡¯t particrly high, but it¡¯s exhaustion rate during production was extremely low!

    Simple and fast!

    This was simply the perfect form for external injury treatment.

    Just as he was about to make his choice, he abruptly stopped as he recalled a terrifying possibility. If he chose this, it was very probable for him to lose this round!

    The form was not the cause for this. Instead, it was him!

 Chapter 127: A Ridiculous Choice

    Chapter 127: A Ridiculous Choice

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng stopped his actions.

    How many would be left after this round?

    100!

    Choosing 100 participants from the current pool of 1,000 elites!

    Chen Feng checked and found that the remaining participants were almost fullyprised of intermediate producers. Despite there being differences in the individual skills of these participants, the ones surviving till the end would be the strongest.

    The top 100 would be the ones with extremely powerful spiritual energy.

    As for Chen Feng?

    Only 250 points of spiritual energy.

    Quite an awkward amount.

    Among these participants who could easily possess spiritual energy reaching 500, 600, 700, or even over 1,000 points, this small amount of spiritual energy Chen Feng possessed was akin to a drizzle of rain, an amount that would definitely suffer elimination.

    Healing external injuries?

    Everyone was aware that this was easier.

    Hence¡ª

    Without a doubt, a majority of the participants would choose to take this route that was safer.

    Subsequently, this would turn into apetition on the recovery of one¡¯s spiritual energy. With the 250 points of spiritual energy Chen Feng had, how many people could he heal?

    "It¡¯s going to get troublesome this way."

    Chen Feng felt a slight headache.

    Having insufficient spirit attribute was a major weakness!

    This was not due to Chen Feng being too weak. Recently, his progress could be described with ¡®flying speed.¡¯ This being his weakness could only show how strong the opponents he was currently facing were.

    "What should I do?"

    Chen Feng sunk into contemtion.

    At this time, the others had quickly chosen their forms, especially those that already possessed healing-rted genes; they felt like fish in water in this round.

    This was the so-called background.

    In actuality, almost every elite producer would master a couple of healing genes. These genes were still weakpared to the huge gene bank of the Gene Production Association, though.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Everyone made their choice quickly.

    Qin Hai: Choosing a purification-type gene in a tyrannical manner. Since his interest had been piqued and he wanted to be the first-ce holder, he had to disy his full power! He wanted to use his formidable strength to directly suppress the curse, purifying the royals. Since he had to chose, he would choose the strongest.

    Yun Xiaoduo: After discussing with that donkey, she picked a basic external injury treatment gene. There were no other reasons for this. This option was simply chosen due to their numerical advantage. Despite it appearing like Yun Xiaoduo was alone, both the shaggy yellow ball that usually took on the role of Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s chair and Yun Xiaoduo herself were the donkey¡¯s assistants during gene production.

    This was equivalent to three individuals!

    Choosing to heal external injuries was the most optimal choice for her.

    The rest were also choosing their forms. There were also some that were good at healing internal injuries and chose to heal the internal injuries during this round. Every participant here chose what they were good at.

    Currently, in the virtual livestream room, due to the release of the second round¡¯s results, the livestream rooms were no longer ranked ording to poprity. Instead, they were ranked ording to the second round¡¯s results.

    Hence, Chen Feng¡¯s livestream room was reigning high above everyone else!

    Above Qin Hai and Yun Xiaoduo.

    "What bullsh*t is this? Dare topete against my Little Duo?"

    "Yeah."

    "He simply got lucky that one time. I heard that aquarhino gene had a sess rate of one in a hundred thousand. Hence, he simply got lucky!"

    "On what basis is such a person above my Qin Hai now?!"

    The chat rooms moved furiously.

    The poprity of Chen Feng increased rapidly. The round had just begun yet his viewers had increased from the initial several hundred thousand to 10 million viewers. Furthermore, it was still increasing!

    This was extremely normal.

    The reason for that was also simple.

    Out of the original 10,000 rooms, only 1,000 were left.

    As the participants got eliminated, their livestream rooms closed. The viewers from those rooms would flow into the remaining participants. From this, the viewers in Qin Hai¡¯s and Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s rooms also increased greatly. However, due to this existence known as Chen Feng, regardless of whether these were haters or genuine fans, there were arge amount of viewers entering his room.

    They wanted to see, on what basis could Chen Feng be reigning above their idol?

    Based on his luck?

    Ridiculous!

    "Why have so many brainless fanse?"

    Even the producers that were originally in Chen Feng¡¯s room couldn¡¯t take it any more.

    Too childish!

    Despite them arguing and suffering face ps without stop, all of that was, after all, still done in a manner where production-rted knowledge was used. Even when criticizing, the criticism was knowledge-rted.

    As for these brainless fans?

    "He dares to be a celebrity producer when he is so ugly?"

    "Chen Feng¡¯s nose is so big. I can know with one look that he is a bad person."

    "This pair of double eyelids he has must be something resulting from stic surgery, right? There were some things that are better when natural, all right?"

    "Having such looks, he must be single, right?"

    ??

    What the heck was all this?

    Were these people here to criticize or to joke around?

    Too excessive!

    Those old producers were almost infuriated to death. These producers that had originally found Chen Feng unpleasant to the eyes were all now sympathizing with him. They had even one-sidedly be supporters of Chen Feng due to this.

    Ugly?

    Despite Chen Feng not being as handsome as Qin Hai, he still looked above average, right?

    Despite how one looked at it, that couldn¡¯t be considered ugly, right?

    How did these people define ¡®beauty¡¯?

    Furthermore, whether Chen Feng was ugly or not, single or not, what the heck did that have to do with his production level? How had these brainless fans linked all that with gene production?

    Even when condemning someone, logic should be followed, right?!

    Too excessive.

    "I wonder what form will he choose."

    Everyone guessed.

    At this time, those haters came out again and started saying things like: whatever he chose would be rubbish, and when he¡¯s so ugly, what point is there in choosing anything, etc. All of this was systematically ignored by the others.

    They really had nothing to say toward these brainless fans.

    External injuries!

    Internal injuries!

    Curses!

    Which would Chen Feng choose?

    Regardless of haters or true fans, without a doubt, due to the first ce he held from the second round, the viewers of his room increased greatly to the point where it was now the room with the third highest view count, after Qin Hai and Yun XIaoduo.

    Every single decision he made would be observed by countless people.

    "He should chose external injuries right? This is the fastest method," some said.

    "That won¡¯t do. Those choosing external injuries can only score victory through quantity alone by umtion of those 1 points. Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual energy is too low and the recovery speed is too slow. Hence, he won¡¯t be able to heal too many of these."

    Someone else retorted directly.

    "What about curses..." another person proposed.

    "That won¡¯t do either. Despite the curse being of low quantity and high quality, the purification of every single one of those curses has high requirements on the strength of one¡¯s spirit. All those royal family members seem to be D-ss, right? Chen Feng only has 250 points of spiritual energy. Even if he were to use enhancements, he still wouldn¡¯t be able to purify these curses!" a producer that was somewhat well-versed with curses retorted.

    "If that¡¯s the case, only internal injuries can be chosen?"

    Everyone was stunned.

    There were still advantages with higher amounts of people.

    Excluding those haters and brainless fans, when these elites from all industries came together to discuss, they were able to conclude in a short time that the only possible choice for Chen Feng was...

    Internal injuries!

    Healing the injuries resulting from all sorts of gene injuries!

    This was the only hope for Chen Feng.

    As for how far he could go?

    This would depend on Chen Feng¡¯s performance.

    "Hopefully, he will make the correct choice."

    Everyone was looking forward to it.

    At this time, Chen Feng was also done with his analysis.

    In this round, it was still pure gene production. However, its requirement on one¡¯s foundations was extremely high. If he wanted to survive this round, he could only chose internal injuries!

    "Internal injuries..." Chen Feng muttered.

    He couldn¡¯t ept this.

    This was not the best yet not the worst choice. Due to the limited amount of people with internal injuries, the scores wouldn¡¯t be particrly high. Choosing internal injuries also signified that the producer had given up on the top spots! However, there were also benefits to it. Internal injuries had somewhat lower requirement on one¡¯s spiritual energy and the strength of one¡¯s spirit. Hence, it was easier to avoid elimination with this choice.

    There were advantages and disadvantages.

    However¡ª

    Chen Feng was certain that there were a lot of participants who had chosen internal injuries.

    After experiencing the cruelty of the second round, in this round, they would definitely be making a conservative choice, which was choosing internal injuries to steadily gain points!

    Could Chen Feng oupete them?

    Nope.

    "Such rules..."

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

    Using pure quantity to render the asional flukes ineffective?

    "I can only depend on you, then," Chen Feng muttered.

    Since he couldn¡¯t make his choice, he decided to let Luck Aura make the choice for him.

    Shua!

    Light swirled before his eyes.

    He shut both his eyes and fully activated Luck Aura.

    "Hum¡ª"

    He pointed blindly.

    Form chosen.

    Chen Feng opened his eyes and immediately nked. ¡®Sh*t! Why is it this gene?¡¯

 Chapter 128: Icefox Formula

    Chapter 128: Icefox Form

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In the virtual livestream room, countless people were waiting for Chen Feng¡¯s choice. However, when Chen Feng finally made his choice, almost everyone was dumbfounded. This form...

    What the heck was he trying to do?!

    ----

    Icefox Gene Form

    Difficulty: 5 stars

    Function: Activation through spiritual energy, utilizing Iceheart for healing

    Introduction: Produced from the blood essence of an icefox. Various materials are required to trigger the mysterious power contained within the icefox gene, producing a special gene reagent as a result.

    ----

    "The heck?"

    "Why is it this form?"

    "Let me check the function of this Iceheart. Mhm... I found it. Iceheart: Using the icefox gene to activate a formidable power possessing the ability to heal injuries and purify curses. Mhm, let me take a look. The ¡®healing injuries¡¯ here seems to mean that all sort of injuries can be healed? Even curses seem to be heble as well."

    Shua!

    The whole livestream room became silent immediately.

    Able to heal external and internal injuries? Even capable of purifying curses? Why not fly to the heavens while you were at it?!

    That¡¯s right!

    This was a formidable gene capable of healing all three types of conditions! Regardless of external injuries, internal injuries, or curse purification, this gene had a certain effect on them. This was simply a Tiger Balm[1] of the medical field. However, the disadvantage of this Tiger Balm was quite obvious as well: having ordinary effectiveness!

    Competing with this gene?

    Simply courting death!

    "Has Chen Feng gone crazy?"

    "Triple focus?"

    "Damn, this form is so impressive. It¡¯s like the indigo woad root[2] of the medical field."

    "A godly indigo woad root."

    Everyone started berating Chen Feng.

    Some berated the form, while some berated Chen Feng.

    They really couldn¡¯t understand the reason Chen Feng had chosen such a form. Could it be that he was so naive as to actually wish to heal everyone?!

    How was that possible!

    Only one day was avable!

    "It¡¯s not too bad, right?" Some people meekly said, "What if it¡¯s mainly used for purification while internal and external injuries were healed as a side effect to earn some extra points?"

    "Extra points my ass!"

    The others couldn¡¯t help but to voice out what was in their minds.

    "This form¡¯s purification capability can¡¯t bepared with a pure purification-type form of the same level. The spiritual energy and spiritual strength required to obtain a simr effect are much higher. Do you understand? Even Qin Hai, with his 1,000 points of spirit attribute, only dares to choose a pure purification-type form. Chen Feng, with his measly 250 spiritual energy, is thinking of soaring to the heavens?"

    "On what basis can hepete with Qin Hai?"

    "As for internal and external injuries..."

    "Think, after painstakingly producing a 5-star form, it¡¯s only used to heal some external injuries worth 1 or 2 points¡ªis it worth it? How many can you produce per day?!"

    So that was the case!

    The other guy opened his mouth yet couldn¡¯t find any words to retort.

    In actuality, as the second round ended, a lot of people started looking forward to Chen Feng¡¯s performance.

    They had even tacitly acknowledged the fact that Chen Feng was able toplete a brand new 5-star E-ss form. This was their highest acknowledgement of Chen Feng up till now!

    Who would have expected that, just as they started having high hopes for Chen Feng, they would witness him courting disaster instead!

    They really couldn¡¯t understand this. Could it be that after winning the second round, Chen Feng¡¯s arrogance had swelled to such an extent?

    In truth, they were not the only confused ones. Chen Feng himself couldn¡¯t understand this choice either!

    "What damnable form is this?"

    Chen Feng felt too powerless to even berate this choice.

    Icefox?

    The moment he saw this form, he was dumbfounded.

    Triple focus!

    How much confidence did the Luck Aura have in him?

    Despite him believing that the 5-star icefox form possessed a healing capability that would not becking even whenpared with the all-healing Tiger Balm, with that terrifying spiritual energy consumption and the time required, how many could he produce in a day?!

    Iceheart...

    Healing all conditions...

    Chen Feng started looking for any hidden information.

    He believed that there was a reason Luck Aura had chosen icefox. At the very least, from his initial hopeless situation, it gave Chen Feng a chance of victory, an opportunity to counterattack!

    However, he had yet to discover the reason.

    "Did the Luck Aura lose its effectiveness?"

    Chen Feng checked his data.

    Approximately 10 points of luck value had been exhausted. This meant that this icefox gene was truly a choice made by the fully activated Luck Aura.

    He checked the data once again, yet couldn¡¯t discover anything.

    Unless...

    A glimmer shed in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    "Produce one first!"

    Chen Feng became spirited.

    For some things, the effects would only be apparent once it was actually produced.

    "Shua!"

    He opened the form and quickly grasped the basic information of the form.

    Then... let¡¯s begin!

    This was a unique round.

    If one had to point out the good point of it, it was the fact that, as the royal teacher, the participants hadplete ess to all the materials in the royal warehouse. Theoretically, there were no limits to what the participants could do!

    "Come, then!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were sharp as lighting.

    "Shua!"

    Light swirled before his eyes, and Chen Feng appeared in the imperial pce.

    Thepetition officially began!

    At the same time, almost all of the producers started their production.

    Here, no material gathering was required. Everything one required would be delivered by the soldiers. Every single person in the whole kingdom could be used as one saw fit.

    That included the king himself!

    As long as the participant wished for it, the king¡¯s mental state could be checked at any time.

    For now, a majority of the producers who had chosen to purify the curses were starting to produce the curse gene. Even if they failed to heal the king, they had to heal the royal family.

    The scores were increasing without stop.

    On the other hand, the producers that had chosen external injuries had started to produce low-level genes in bulk. Using sheer quantity of points to increase their score!

    Every one of them had their own methods of facing thepetition.

    In a certain kingdom.

    A donkey was painstakingly producing a gene reagent. Beside it was a shaggy yellow-colored ball radiating with a bizarre glimmer as the light particles around it flickered without stop.

    This was spirit enhancement!

    "Ya!"

    Rays of light shed out of Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s hand. With this, the donkey appeared even more spirited.

    This was spirit recovery!

    She was assisting the donkey in its gene production!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    One bottle after another of gene reagents werepleted unceasingly.

    Among all the producers that had chosen external injuries, Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s score was the highest, leading far above the others, with the second highest scorer having only half her score!

    "666666"

    "This is so excessive. Bullying the other lone producers with their numerical advantage."

    "The donkey should be the actual master!"

    "Actually, I¡¯m a fan of the donkey..."

    The chat was spammed furiously.

    Viewing Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s match was always an enjoyable activity. Able to roll over everyone in a rxed and happy manner, the pleasure brought by this was something others were incapable of reproducing.

    Without a doubt, among the producers that had chosen external injuries, Yun Xiaoduo was the current first-ce holder.

    None were capable of rivaling her!

    **

    In a certain kingdom.

    Qin Hai was there with a solemn expression.

    The purification form he had chosen was extremely powerful. However, its difficulty was extremely high as well.

    However, with the never-ending supply of materials from the royal warehouse, he had finally produced a set of the gene reagent sessfully. After using it on one of the royal family members, he found that its effect was extraordinary.

    "This healing strength..." Qin Hai muttered.

    There wouldn¡¯t be any problems in healing the royal family with this.

    Only, for the king...

    It was still insufficient!

    "I will continue production, then."

    Qin Hai¡¯s eyes were sharp as lighting.

    Using these members of the royal family as practice, he continued spamming the production of this form to attempt to create the most outstanding gene in order to heal the king and obtain the highest score!

    This was the confidence of Qin Hai.

    He aimed to, within a single day, heal every single person that was cursed!

    Next¡ª

    If there was any remaining time, he could perhaps heal some of the others?

    Despite the fact that this form he had chosen was unable to heal internal and external injuries, with his powerful background, he had already learnt a healing form previously. Despite the form he knew being only a 1-star F-ss form, it would be sufficient to heal somemon citizens.

    His goal was first ce!

    This time, he would not give any chances to Chen Feng.

 Chapter 129: The Rise of Huang He

    Chapter 129: The Rise of Huang He

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Qin Hai started a furious pace of production.

    One...

    Two...

    Three...

    Everyone in the livestream room was stunned.

    Regardless of his mental state or his production speed, the Qin Hai that appeared before them today seemed to be apletely different person than the Qin Hai they¡¯d seen three days ago.

    "This speed..."

    "Damn, is Qin Hai raging?"

    "This is the true perfect condition of my dearest Qin Hai!"

    "So strong!"

    Everyone was shocked.

    From the moment he¡¯d gotten his hands on this brand new form, from constant failure till gradual sess in his productions, having his sess rate increasing constantly until he was finally producing the most outstanding gene, only half a day was required!

    Twenty points...

    Forty points...

    Qin Hai¡¯s score was increasing rapidly.

    Among the over 200 producers that had chosen curses, Qin Hai was the undisputed first ce. His rapid increase of score had caught up with Yun Xiaoduo. There were even signs of his score surpassing hers.

    This was the true strength of Qin Hai.

    At this time, in the virtual livestream room, a lot of people were viewing a producer named Huang He. There was no other reason for this apart from the fact that he had chosen internal injuries!

    He was the one with the highest score among the producers that had chosen internal injuries.

    What was the so-called internal injury?

    In the current era, an internal injury was simply an injury to one¡¯s gene attributes that was suffered during battle. For example, me injuries, ice injuries, etc. Due to these special types of injuries, one was unable to heal their injuries. As long as these special types of injuries were healed, the injured person would not suffer from any other problems.

    Why did everyone dislike choosing internal injuries?

    Due to it being troublesome.

    One person might be injured by A attribute, the other person might be injured by B attribute, and there were also some who were injured by C attribute. The type of healing applied had to be adjusted in ordance to the type of injuries one suffered. Otherwise, it would not only fail to heal, it might result in a negative effect on the injured. Hence, despite the high score given for internal injuries with simple healing methods, the amount of producers that had chosen internal injuries was still low!

    Huang He, on the other hand, was a person who was good at the treatment of such injuries.

    He was not even using the gene form he had chosen. Instead, he was using a gene form that he had already known previously, quickly healing a huge amount of people who suffered from internal injuries.

    His score was increasing rapidly!

    "What form is that?"

    "Such speed."

    "The main point is not his form; instead, it¡¯s his capability."

    Some of the viewers had good eyes and were able to see the crux.

    Huang He.

    A peak intermediate producer.

    One of his gic abilities being: Damage Absorption.

    Apart from absorbing his own injuries, he could also absorb the injuries of others. Hence, his healing speed was incredibly astonishing.

    "This..."

    "Damage Absorption?!"

    "Damn, why is it this gene?"

    Everyone was stunned.

    This was apetition among producers!

    What the heck was up with this Damage Absorption gene?!

    Furthermore, this gene was also different than a damage-absorbing defensive gene which could only absorb damage done to self as it was able to absorb the damage done to others. This appeared to be a mutated gene!

    At this time, the fans of Huang He started talking.

    In actuality, Huang He was a gene producer that focused on healing. Where he came from, he was extremely well known. However, the younger sister of his wife had suffered an internal injury that he¡¯d failed to heal. In order to heal her injury, he had ultimately discovered this special gene.

    Now, he could not only heal external injuries, he could also heal internal injuries.

    "So that¡¯s the case."

    Everyone felt deep veneration for him.

    A producer that specialized in healing? Such a producermanded more respect from the masses!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Huang He¡¯s score increased rapidly.

    Perhaps due to there being too many varieties to internal injuries, such injuries were generally overemphasized on their varieties. As such, the degree of the internal injuries these people were suffering was not particrly serious, despite the variety to them.

    For Huang He, these were too easy.

    After he familiarized himself with how these injuries work, his score started increasing rapidly.

    Ten points!

    Twenty points!

    ...

    In a short one hour, his score was nearing those of Qin Hai and Yun Xiaoduo.

    Incredibly frightening!

    "The three of them should be the ones fighting over the first ce, right?"

    Everyone had a solemn mood.

    Despite the high amount of genius producers here, a lot of them were not well versed with such healing genes. Hence, they had made their choice on the basis of surviving the elimination. Ultimately, only these three were able to rush to the very front, leading the scores of everyone here.

    Qin Hai!

    Huang He!

    Yun Xiaoduo!

    Their scores were far above the fourth ce holder. More than onefold higher than that person.

    "What about Chen Feng?"

    At this time, someone remembered Chen Feng.

    As the winner of the second round, Chen Feng was still somewhat reputable. However, when they entered Chen Feng¡¯s livestream room, everyone was immediately speechless.

    Chen Feng¡¯s score: 0.

    That¡¯s right.

    After approximately two hours, Chen Feng was still stuck at 0 points!

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    Everyone was confused.

    "What else can it be? He failed several times already."

    The ymen viewers¡¯ in the room sighed. "He already has a low spirit attribute of 250, yet still needs to purify the curses of the king, princes, and the rest, so how is it possible for him to seed?!"

    "Even Qin Hai with 1,000 spirit attribute also failed his first attempt, all right?!"

    "With such low attribute, he still dared to choose this Tiger Balm¨Clike purification reagent. It would be weird if he could seed with this."

    Countless amounts of people berated Chen Feng.

    As everyone else heard this, they were speechless.

    The heck?

    Was Chen Feng giving up on thepetition?

    "He has been too arrogant."

    "After bing a winner once, he seems to have forgotten his identity..." some berated.

    A number of people agreed with this.

    Chen Feng¡¯s current actions were simply akin to courting disaster. However, despite their criticism, Chen Feng was still silently continuing his research on the icefox gene in the imperial pce.

    Shua!

    Gene productionplete.

    Another fresh icefox gene produced.

    ----

    Icefox Gene Reagent

    ss: E

    Function: Enables one to use Iceheart. Triggering the potential within the icefox¡¯s gene, able to heal or reduce the degree of injury for all sorts of injuries. Quite effective on spiritual injuries as well.

    ----

    "Done."

    Chen Feng was getting emotional.

    He had tried previously. The icefox gene was somewhat ineffective on the curses suffered by the royal family. The only effect it brought was to reduce the degree of the injury caused by the curse!

    Due to the power of the purification being insufficient, it was unable topletely heal the curse!

    However, after countless tests, Chen Feng had managed to figure out the purification power this icefox gene possessed.

    Then¡ª

    What about internal injuries?

    Chen Feng started his tests once again. He used the icefox gene on a military officer that had suffered an internal injury. It worked very well in reducing the degree of his injury; however, it still failed topletely heal the injury.

    "It doesn¡¯t work indeed."

    Chen Feng muttered.

    At its base form, the icefox reagent was simply trash! At the very least, this gene was unable to aplish anything in this round. If Chen Feng were to use this gene, he would definitely end up eliminated!

    However...

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply before starting his production once again.

    Gene search!

    Gene reaction!

    Gene fusion!

    Shua!

    Completed gene reagent sealed.

    From start to finish, everything was done in one go.

    Another freshly produced gene. However, this time, the radiance the gene was flickering with was somewhat different than the genes produced by Chen Feng in the previously!

    ----

    Mutated Icefox Gene

    ss: E

    Function: Enables one to use Iceheart. Triggering the potential within the icefox¡¯s gene, able to heal every type of injury within a certain area of effect. Very effective on spiritual injuries as well.

    ----

    Mutated gene!

    This was the possibility Chen Feng had guessed.

    By mutation, the icefox gene might be stronger, breaking him out of his current predicament. However, as he looked at the mutated gene before him, he still ended up shaking his head.

    Compared with a regr icefox gene, ¡®area of effect¡¯ was added. ¡®Quite effective¡¯ was also changed to ¡®Very effective¡¯.

    Without a doubt, this mutated icefox gene was much more powerful than a regr icefox gene.

    "Let¡¯s try it out."

    Chen Feng tried using it.

    With his target as the center, the gene would be effective even in an area of three meters surrounding the target! Regretfully, though, its healing effect was still somewhat ordinary.

    It could only reduce the degree of injury caused by curses.

    Evidently, the ¡¯very powerful¡¯ in the description was only applicable inparison with the original power of the gene before mutation!

    When used on the people of this kingdom?

    They were quite ineffective.

    This was a kingdom!

    With Chen Feng¡¯s current level, even if he were to use the enhanced version of the icefox gene, he would still fail. Ultimately, he could only heal some low-level injuries to gain a small amount of points.

    Area of effect?

    What was the point of having an area of effect if the injuries couldn¡¯t be healed?

    Furthermore, the area of effect was only 3 meters!

    If so, why had the Luck Aura chosen this form?

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes lit up.

    Then...

    Only one possibility was left.

 Chapter 130: An Astonishing Accomplishment!

    Chapter 130: An Astonishing Aplishment!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Bang!"

    The scene before Chen Feng¡¯s eyes changed as he entered the hyper-dimensional mode.

    With both his eyes closed, Chen Feng had once again entered this peculiar mode.

    The mode used to improve a form.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Light silhouettes swirled around him.

    Chen Feng moved based on his instincts and started his production with the assistance of Luck Aura. Since you had chosen this form, then let this form disy its true power! Chen Feng roared inwardly.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The gene production progressed.

    After a long time, when Chen Feng had almost exhausted his spiritual energy and was feeling extremely exhausted, the form improvement using hyper-dimensional mode was finallypleted!

    Gene productionplete!

    A gene flickering with a peculiar radiance emerged from the production.

    Luck value exhaustion¡ªreaching 100 points!

    "100 points..."

    Chen Feng exhaled nervously.

    Such a high exhaustion of his luck value. Hopefully the final product wouldn¡¯t disappoint him.

    Shua!

    Gene scan.

    Instinctively, Chen Feng nced at the result, and he was immediately shaken.

    This gene... it¡¯s actually¡ªno wonder the Luck Aura selected it! No wonder it exhausted 100 points of luck value! It¡¯s worth it!

    "So, this is the reason the Luck Aura chose you?"

    Chen Feng was emotional.

    First ce among internal injuries?

    First ce among external injuries?

    First ce among curses?

    Chen Feng licked his dry lips. His eyes were burning. Sorry. I¡¯m afraid the first ce for this round will still be mine.

    Thus, in Chen Feng¡¯s livestream room, everyone saw an amazing scene.

    The Chen Feng that had previously sessfully produced icefox reagents several times had suddenly started failing unceasingly. He continuously failed for several tens of times, without a single sess!

    This...

    Was this still Chen Feng?

    The never-failing Chen Feng?

    "What¡¯s happening?"

    Everyone was shocked and confused.

    "It might be due to him not using his gic ability, or maybe he has actually given up."

    Some guessed, "Don¡¯t you all feel that his current state is simr to practicing the production of this form? Using the materials in the royal warehouse to improve his proficiency in this form?"

    Everyone: "..."

    Practicing?

    Increasing proficiency?

    This was the Gene Rookie Competition!

    "That shouldn¡¯t be the case, right?"

    Some did not dare to believe that Chen Feng would actually do such thing.

    When the other participants practiced, they were doing it in order to guarantee their sess rate and to start earning points as soon as possible. As for Chen Feng? He was doing this when his score was still 0, had he given up in thepetition?

    In actuality, Chen Feng was truly practicing.

    His true level was peak beginner producer. For a 5-star E-ss form, if he were to not rely on his luck value, he would only fail unendingly.

    However, such failures were extremely helpful to him.

    This was a 5-star E-ss form!

    If he could master it...

    Chen Feng could definitely break through the beginner level, bing a true intermediate producer, a person who, even when not relying on his luck value, was still a formidable producer with an intermediate production level!

    For him, this was a very good opportunity.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Chen Feng practiced without stop.

    After several tens of failures, he started seeding asionally.

    Apart from this, Chen Feng also issued an oddmand: to deliver all the spiritual energy storage items of the whole kingdom to him.

    "What is he doing?"

    "He is probably using those to recover his spiritual energy."

    Some sneered.

    In fact, not only Chen Feng, a lot of participants had also given up on thispetition. They all started using this rare opportunity to increase their production level. In a sense, this was also a type of reward to them for surviving the second round.

    However, the masses had still put too many expectations on Chen Feng.

    The others were those that had survived the second round with great difficulty and were aware that it was impossible for them to survive the third round; hence, they had chosen to give up. However, this Chen Feng, the winner of the second round, was actually doing this as well. This was too excessive!

    Disappointed.

    A great number of people shook their head and left.

    The number of viewers in Chen Feng¡¯s livestream room was dropping without stop.

    Night arrived quietly.

    The third round had reached the final stages.

    Now, almost all the viewers were concentrated in the rooms of Qin Hai, Yun Xiaoduo, and Huang He. The three were intensely battling it out for first ce.

    First ce: Qin Hai, 320 points!

    Second ce: Huang He, 310 points!

    Third ce: Yun Xiaoduo, 290 points!

    As for the fourth ce?

    Only 190 points!

    They were in a totally different league.

    Furthermore, despite Qin Hai appearing to be the first ce holder now, regardless of Huang He or Yun Xiaoduo, both were furiously chasing after him. This was especially true for the Yun Xiaoduo that was operating as a squad of three!

    Everyone eximed in admiration. "These three are very powerful."

    "Yeah, this speed of Yun Xiaoduo... she has even caught up with the high score Qin Hai obtained from the curses."

    "Qin Hai is quite impressive as well. I had believed that when he was done purifying the curses he wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything else. However, he unexpectedly started healing external injuries! Using a low-level healing formmonly used as practice by beginners to start healing the external injuries. Despite his speed being somewhat slow, he is still moving forward without stop. Too amazing."

    "They are all working hard."

    "I think Huang He is the most powerful. Choosing the obscure and unknown internal injuries and increasing his score at a steady pace. He might even have a chance to obtain first ce."

    "That¡¯s possible."

    Everyone was discussing spiritedly.

    At this moment, almost everyone was concentrating their attention on these three.

    The round was reaching its end.

    Some of them would asionally think of Chen Feng and go over to take a look, only to find that his score still remained at zero, before leaving with a disappointed feeling and continuing to view Qin Hai and the others.

    331!

    332!

    Qin Hai was still working hard!

    Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s score had reached 320 points!

    Thepetition was extremely intense.

    Every single production theypleted, there would be a jump in their scores. In all honesty, if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that gene productions required time, their scores would have reached the heavens long ago. Even with this, the scores of these three were already far surpassing that of fourth ce, creating a miracle in thispetition.

    Tick tock.

    Final ten minutes.

    Huang He managed to charge to first ce momentarily before being surpassed once again.

    Final three minutes.

    Huang He once again charged to first ce.

    350 points!

    His score was increasing in an incremental manner. Every single increase would be in a huge amount. In the final three minutes, he had reached his limit. At this time...

    Yun Xiaoduo and Qin Hai were still silently chasing after him!

    Qin Hai: 348!

    Yun Xiaoduo: 346!

    "It¡¯s the final minute!"

    "Ah ah ah ah ah, I¡¯m so nervous. I wonder who will end up with the first ce."

    "All three have the potential to end up with first ce!"

    "Do your best."

    Everyone was supporting their respective idol.

    How many gene reagents could one produce in a minute?

    This was the moment where their gic ability would be tested. Regardless of the trump card they had, they had to utilize it at this moment to fight over first ce!

    What worried the fans most was the fact that both Qin Hai and Yun Xiaoduo were unaware of the predicament they were in.

    They were totally unaware of their current rank or of how close theirpetition was. It would be too much of a pity if they were to narrowly miss first ce due to this!

    Would they put everything they had into it?

    Naturally.

    Regardless of Qin Hai and Yun Xiaoduo, they had erupted at the same moment.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The speed of their gene production increased rapidly.

    Qin Hai: 349!

    Yun Xiaoduo: 347! 348!

    Both furiously unleashed their power.

    At this moment, regardless of the ymen viewers¡¯ or producers or even the high-ranked members of the Gene Production Association or the ones who¡¯d set up the rules ofpetition, everyone had their attention concentrated on these three!

    Who would emerge as the final winner of the third round?

    "Ding!"

    "End ofpetition!"

    Shua!

    The scores were updated.

    Everyone held their emotions with great difficulty and raised their head to look at the scores.

    On the screen, the result was instantly updated. However, the moment everyone saw the result, they were dumbstruck. Shit, what had they seen there?!

    First ce: Chen Feng, 1,200 points

    Second ce: Qin Hai / Yun Xiaoduo / Huang He, 350 points

    "???!"

    "Damn?"

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    "1,200 points? How is that possible?"

    Everyone was dumbstruck.

    Twelve hundred points?

    Chen Feng?

    They seemed to recall that, just a few minutes prior, Chen Feng had still been at zero points, right? Even a grandmaster producer wouldn¡¯t be able to gain 1,200 points in the span of several minutes, right?!

    What was going on?

    Cheating?

    Almost everyone was shaken.

    What joke was this?

    At the final moment of the confrontation between the three strongest producers, at the crucial moment, Chen Feng had silently snatched first ce, and with 1,200 points on top of that?

    A score higher than thebined score of the other three!

    This was too excessive!

    "Where¡¯s his face?"

    "Obtaining 1,200 points in a few minutes. Even if you were to cheat, there¡¯s no need to make it so obvious, right?"

    "Few minutes my ass. I went there during the final 30 seconds. At that time, his score was still 0."

    "Hence, 1,200 points in 30 seconds?"

    Everyone was going insane.

    Chen Feng was simply insulting their intelligence!

    "Report!"

    "Send a wave of reports against him!"

    "Someone actually have the guts to cheat in this magnificent Gene Rookie Competition?"

    Everyone was raging.

    "Could this be due to his gic ability as well?" one person said meekly, only to instantly receive a torrent of abuse.

    "Screw you! How is it possible for someone to possess such an ability? Use that brain of yours and think for a bit!"

    Naturally, there was a person who¡¯d remembered something.

    This did not seem to be the first time Chen Feng was reported, right? The previous time, they were all mistaken, as Chen Feng had not cheated all along. Could this be another false rm?

    However, everyone ignored that person.

    "If this is not cheating, I will livestream me eating shit!"

    "Yeah, even this is not considered cheating? Are you all blind? Twelve hundred points is almost equivalent to the total points after healing everyone in the kingdom, right? Tell me, how is someone supposed to heal all the internal injuries, external injuries, and the curses instantly? Providing equal treatment to everyone regardless of status like a virtuous emperor?"

    "Brainless fans can all scram! This matter, an exnation must be given to our beloved Little Duo!"

    Everyone started roaring.

    The chat was instantly flooded withments, to the point where the server was on the brink of overloading.

    At the same time, in the learning forum, the different onlinemunities, or any other ces where discussions could be held, everyone was discussing this, giving rise to an unprecedented sensation.

    Chen Feng was once again trending.

    **

    In the top floor of the virtualpany building, those from Gene Production Association were shaken.

    Even the headquarters was sending countless messages to them. They did not dare to imagine that such a major loophole had appeared in this Gene Rookie Competition.

    "Investigate!"

    "Investigate thoroughly!"

    Countless bellows from the higher management.

    "This incident, an exnation must be given to the public."

    One order after another was received.

    Gao Yunfeng was ashen-faced. He had never expected that the wless rule set by him would actually have a loophole, causing the score to be altered.

    That¡¯s right.

    As of now, everyone still believed that this was due to a loophole in the system!

    Only if there was a loophole in the system would it be possible for someone to gain 1,200 points instantly, bing the winner.

    "Chen Feng..."

    Gao Yunfeng¡¯s expression was unsightly. He indeed couldn¡¯t get along with this bastard.

    "Investigate thoroughly," Gao Yunfeng told the technicians. "Promptly retrieve all the data regarding Chen Feng. I want to find out the fluctuations of his score during the final minute, and also the circumstances our programs were in at that time."

    Gao Yunfeng was unprecedentedly solemn. He did not wish for his illustrious name to be destroyed by the hands of this guy.

    "Understood."

    The technicians were mentally stretched as well.

    This was a major incident, if there was truly a loophole in their system...

    Just the thought of this was scary.

    Investigate!

    Several hundred technicians and all their tracking equipment investigated without stop. They had indeed found some questionable issues and some loopholes. However, what they found would only cause a small dy in the server. None of it was able to increase one¡¯s scores. Even all the data pertaining to Chen Feng during the final minute appearedpletely normal.

    No problems whatsoever were found.

    "No problems?" Gao Yunfeng bellowed. "With such a record, you are telling me there¡¯s no problem?"

    Everyone lowered their heads.

    They were already the cream of the crop of the industry! Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have been hired here. However, they really failed to discover any issues. Even when they utilized the special gic abilities they possessed, they¡¯d still failed to discover anything.

    "What kind of ability was it..."

    Gao Yunfeng¡¯s eyes shed unceasingly.

    Able to hide from the system¡¯s detection to alter the score by force, what heaven defying ability was it?

    He was contemting.

    However, at this time, the old man beside himughed suddenly and said, "If you can¡¯t find any issues with the data, you can check the recordings, right? Perhaps there¡¯s no problem in the first ce?"

    "How is that possible?!"

    Instinctively, Gao Yunfeng wanted to call him a retarded person.

    Are you kidding me? Such an obvious issue that even the blind won¡¯t miss, and you are telling me there¡¯s no problem?

    However, after taking into consideration the status of the old man, he did not dare to voice his thoughts.

    "Check the recordings of the final minute."

    "All right."

    Shua!

    Light and shadow flickered.

    The recording of Chen Feng¡¯s final minute appeared.

    There¡ª

    A huge-scale event seemed to be in progress. A huge crowd was concentrated there. In the middle of the crowd, a huge number of energy storage items were piled for unknown reason.

    Gao Yunfeng and the rest were staring firmly at Chen Feng that was in the middle of the crowd and his score.

    Currently, his score was still zero.

    Final 30 seconds, zero.

    Final 20 seconds, zero.

    Final 10 seconds, zero.

    And then, at this point of time, Chen Feng raised his hand. At that, a resplendent radiance appeared. The terrifying radiance pierced the heavens and earth, enveloping everyone there. Next...

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s score jumped furiously.

    In a short 10 seconds, he reached 1,200 points!

    The round ended.

    "This..."

    Everyone was stupefied.

    When they looked at the data earlier, they¡¯d already known that he obtained his score during the final 10 seconds. However, they had never imagined that the 1,200 points were obtained in such a manner!

    That radiance...

    That healing...

    Despite the round having ended, they were still stunned.

    The technicians had the scene paused. There, they could clearly see that thosemoners, military officers, and even the royal family, every single one of them was fully healed at this instant!

    Healed?

    How was that possible?!

    Everyone¡¯s heart shook.

    "Water Lotus Screen..."

    The old man¡¯s eyes shone before he sighed.

    Everyone¡¯s heart trembled at that.

    Water Lotus Screen: An incredibly powerful group-heal gene reagent. Back then, it became well-known after it was used to heal countless amounts of people regardless of the type of their injuries!

    Regardless of the amount of injured, as long as they were positioned in the area of effect, they would be healed!

    However...

    That was an incredibly powerful A-ss gene reagent!

    This was a mere Gene Rookie Competition!

    Gao Yunfeng inhaled deeply. "Extract the data of that gene."

    Everything in the virtual world was simted in ordance to the real world. He refused to believe that a beginner producer like Chen Feng was capable of producing an A-ss Water Lotus Screen!

    "All right."

    The technicians nodded.

    Shua!

    The gene data was extracted.

    Gao Yunfeng merely nced at it before his whole body trembled as he stood there nkly. It was actually this?!

    A-ss gene?

    No, this was simply a mutated 5-star E-ss gene!

    But its attributes...

    ----

    Mutated Icefox Gene ¨C unknown

    ss: E

    Type: Special

    Function: Enables one to use Iceheart. Triggering the potential within the icefox¡¯s gene, able to heal every type of injury and spiritual damage within a certain area of effect. The healing effect and area of effect radius depend on the amount of energy exhausted.

    Chapter 132: Mu Yuan¡¯s Love Story

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    This is...

    Gao Yunfeng stared nkly at the gene before his eyes.

    He finally understood how Chen Feng had performed such unprecedentedly outstanding healing. He had also figured out that this feat of Chen Feng was only possible in this virtual world.

    In the real world, who would open up the storage of the whole country for one person to use as an energy source?!

    That was simply impossible.

    Despite possessing an astonishing effect, the energy exhaustion of this gene was even more terrifying!

    Furthermore, it wasted way too many resources.

    Regardless of which way one looked at it, this appeared to be an extremely ridiculous gene reagent not worth using. Unfortunately though, from this kingdom¡¯s point of view, the usage of this gene reagent waspletely reasonable and fair!

    Furthermore, it was the perfect gene reagent for them.

    "How had things developed into this?"

    Gao Yunfeng was dazed.

    Rules vition?

    Everything Chen Feng did was in ordance to the rules!

    wlessly done!

    He couldn¡¯t even find any points he could nitpick on. When someone operated within the rules he¡¯d set and then created such a miracle, what else could he say?!

    In themand center, the mood in the room reached a freezing point.

    The technicians felt like they were choking.

    After a long time, Gao Yunfeng helplessly said, "Announce it, then."

    "What?"

    Everyone nked.

    "Announce the results! Chen Feng did not cheat, the data on him ispletely normal! If they still have any doubts, send the recordings of the final moments to them together with the data of that gene reagent."

    Gao Yunfeng had an unsightly expression.

    "Oh¡ª"

    Everyone looked at Gan Yunfeng with an astonished expression, evidently not daring to believe that the Gao Yunfeng that always had a bad temper would actually swallow this down.

    "What are you all looking at!?" Gao Yunfeng bellowed. "Am I a person not capable of distinguishing right from wrong? Yes, my temper is quite bad. However, I know what is right or wrong. The first ce of this round is what Chen Feng deserves. None can take that away from him!"

    "Understood."

    Everyone had respectful expressions on their faces.

    "Hmmph." Gao Yunfeng snorted coldly. "However, this kid here has provoked me several times now. Later, I will definitely teach him a lesson."

    Everyone: "..."

    Seemed like that respectful feeling they had earlier was for nothing.

    At the side, that old man was watching on as all this unfolded with a smile on his face.

    Chen Feng...what an interesting kid.

    Currently, that grand and spectacr event of ¡®reporting Chen Feng¡¯ was still progressing.

    The over ten millions reports raised had finally received a response. The management of the Gene Production Association had released their findings. Everyone started looking at the released response emotionally.

    Subsequently¡ª

    Everyone nked.

    "The data is correct?"

    "No abnormality found?"

    "Chen Feng¡¯s first ce is well deserved?"

    Everyone almost rioted then and there.

    Fortunately, below this announcement, the recording of the final moments were also included. Everyone opened the recording with disbelief all over their faces. Next, they saw an astonishing scene.

    With a single ray of light, every injured person was healed in the pce.

    Chen Feng had used an extremely powerful gene reagent to perform this shocking feat!

    "How is it possible that such powerful gene exists?"

    "Yeah, to heal everyone, a gene reagent of at least B or A ss is required, right? Without cheating, could Chen Feng produce such a gene reagent?"

    "Yeah!"

    Countless people were furious.

    Gic abilities were indeed capable of helping one produce something above their ss.

    However, it was only limited to skipping a single ss.

    If one were to attempt to produce a gene two or more sses above one¡¯s own ss, the spiritual energy that person possessed would probably be insufficient to even partially meet the production requirements. How was it possible for such a production to be sessful?!

    What ss was Chen Feng at? E ss!

    Furthermore, he was a fresh E ss!

    Hence, they refused to believe that Chen Feng was able to produce such a gene reagent. Instinctively, they all insisted to believe that there was something about thispetition that was hidden from them instead.

    At this time, the Gene Production Association released the final information they were releasing¡ªthe detailed information on the gene reagent Chen Feng had produced.

    "Hua¡ª"

    It put the whole world in an uproar.

    "This is..."

    "Damn, such a gene exists?"

    "Godd*mmit, I just recalled. Previously, Chen Feng got everyone in the kingdom to move all the energy storage items into the pce. So he was doing that in order to activate this gene reagent?!"

    "Not only that, he got all the injured to enter the pce as well."

    "Damn!"

    Everyone abruptly realized what had happened.

    So it appeared that everything Chen Feng had been doing was in preparation for this final move of his!

    He¡¯d waited for the whole day without doing anything in order to collect a higher amount of energy sources and a higher amount of injured people, enabling this gene reagent to disy the strongest effect it was capable of in a single instant!

    This...

    Totally worth it!

    Everyone was shocked.

    They finally understood where the 1,200 points of Chen Feng¡¯s came from. He appeared to have ignored the rules yet was following the rules all along, using his own method to create a miracle!

    "But..."

    "Why is there such a form in the gene bank?"

    Some felt doubtful.

    However, shortly after, the true data of this form was released. It was simply different from the gene produced by Chen Feng.

    "After evaluation, although this was also something produced using the icefox gene, it is not the same form as what the gene bank produced. It is very probable that this gene is a new form Chen Feng created."

    The moment this news was released, it caused an uproar once again.

    New form!

    Chen Feng was actually using a new form!

    Some eximed in admiration. "Every day, there will be new forms appearing. However, a form with such ability..."

    "Despite not having much use in the real world due to the various limitations it suffers, causing it to be something that can¡¯t be mass produced, in certain specific situations, it will have a great usage," some researchers analyzed.

    Even the fans of Qin Hai and the others were dumbstruck and had nothing to say.

    Adhered to the rules!

    Heroically grabbing first ce!

    He had even created a new form. Who couldpete with that? At least, in this round, no one couldpete with that. Questioning that? On what basis could one question that?!

    Shortly after, the news was announced.

    All sorts of newspapers and media outlets started spreading this news. Once again, Chen Feng¡¯s poprity increased greatly. Furthermore, his poprity had surpassed Qin Hai, bing the creator of miracles of the current generation.

    Subsequently, the elimination mechanism was officially activated.

    In midair, the numbers on the huge light screen flickered without stop before finally stopping at a score¡ª136 points.

    Those with less points would be eliminated!

    Shua!

    The names of countless participants were ckened.

    Eliminationplete.

    As of now now, the third round had ended, and the top hundred was birthed. Once again, Chen Feng grabbed first ce.

    Fame followed one¡¯s merits!

    In the virtualpany building, some were leaving with a bewildered expression, evidently unable to believe that they had been eliminated just like this. There were also some who were wild with joy as they had entered the top hundred.

    This was the top hundred of the Gene Rookie Competition!

    Apetition of the highest quality.

    When Chen Feng left, only Zhang Wei was there waiting for him.

    "Chen Feng."

    Zhang Wei gave him a firm bear hug.

    Obtaining first ce two times in a row and entering the top hundred. This was an achievement that Gold City had never obtained before. Hence, this meant a great deal for them. Next year, the quota allocated to Gold City during the Gene Rookie Competition would be much higher than they could imagine!

    Chen Feng smiled. "Where are the others?"

    "Mu Yuan has been busy with his girl recently while Zhang Lin has stayed in seclusion to produce genes," Zhang Wei exined.

    Girl...

    Chen Fengughed involuntarily. That Mu Yuan had indeed hooked up with that bunny-ear girl.

    "Let¡¯s go." Zhang Wei patted Chen Feng¡¯s shoulder and encouragingly said, "Don¡¯t bother with them. These few days, with the first ce you obtained, there were too many controversies. A lot of media outlets wanted to interview you. However, I had rejected them all. In the next three days, you need to rest properly and make your preparations. Work hard in the next round three dayster. As long as you do your best, it will be fine."

    "Mhm." Chen Feng nodded slightly.

    Fourth round, eh...

    He looked forward to it.

    Both of them returned to the hotel.

    Somewhat surprisingly, in the room that he expected to be empty, a silhouette was staring nkly out of the window, grief and dullness all over his face.

    Mu Yuan?

    Chen Feng and Zhang Wei exchanged nces.

    "From his appearance, seems like he has been dumped?" Zhang Wei whispered.

    Chen Feng nodded slightly. "This is faster than I expected."

    From the moment he¡¯d seen the bunny-ear girl, he¡¯d had an odd feeling. He was not sure if it was due to his prejudice against mutants, but he¡¯d had a somewhat unwell impression of the girl. However, every time he saw Mu Yuan, Mu Yuan was very excited. Hence, he had not felt that it was proper for him to say anything.

    As for Mu Yuan losing his love...

    It¡¯s still a good thing for him to taste some failure. It could enrich his experience.

    Mu Yuan noticed them. "You all returned?"

    Chen Feng nodded slightly. "Mhm."

    "I lost my love," Mu Yuan said nkly.

    Chen Feng and Zhang Wei exchanged nces. Indeed.

    "Did you know? We have been very intimate for several days, yet she refused to let me touch her. Hence, today I invited her to drink some alcohol. Originally, I¡¯d nned to use the alcohol to give myself some courage, thinking that it might..."

    Mu Yuan had a stupefied expression.

    Chen Feng¡¯s curiosity was piqued. "Next?"

    "Next, she was drunk. And then, we stripped..."

    Mu Yuan¡¯s expression became even more unsightly.

    "Next? Next?" Zhang Wei asked with excitement.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    You are already at this age, the heck are you getting all excited for!

    "Next..." Mu Yuan had an expression as if he had lost the love of his life and said, "I noticed that, from underneath her skirt, a junk that was even bigger than mine appeared."

    Shua!

    The whole world seemed to sink into silence at this moment.

    The mood in the hotel reached a freezing point.

    Bigger... than you? F*ck! What technology! No wonder I kept having an odd feeling about her.

    Chen Feng and Zhang Wei exchanged nces. Such things, how should they respond?

    "She took out a bottle of gene reagent?" Chen Feng probed cautiously.

    He was trying to reduce the awkwardness of this.

    However, Zhang Wei couldn¡¯t resist and rolled his eyes.

    What f*cking gene reagent was that? If a gene reagent were to appear from below her skirt, it would be even weirder, right? Furthermore, these words of yours, you seem to be looking down on Mu Yuan¡¯s ego as a male?

 Chapter 133: Oneâ€™s Personal Glory!

    Chapter 133: One¡¯s Personal Glory!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Mu Yuan had a stupefied expression. "No, the bunny-ear girl is a he."

    "But she didn¡¯t seem to have an Adam¡¯s apple, right?" Zhang Wei interjected.

    "Next, he told me that during his gic mutation, the gene that he used was the gene of a female bunny; hence, he became feminized. This leads to his Adam¡¯s apple degenerating... in the future, he might be a genuine female. He told me that if I don¡¯t mind, he wouldn¡¯t mind as well..." Mu Yuan continued.

    "Hence, you agreed?"

    Chen Feng was astonished.

    "My original thought was: since I already spent so much on her, I can¡¯t suffer any losses! Even if it¡¯s a male, I will just ¡®do¡¯ it and get my money¡¯s worth back. He had the appearance of a woman anyway."

    "But after that... I still can¡¯t ¡®do¡¯ it." Mu Yuan¡¯s face was full of grief. "Hence, I ended up losing my love."

    Chen Feng exhaled in relief. "That¡¯s good, that¡¯s good."

    Damn.

    If Mu Yuan could really ¡®do¡¯ it with a male, Chen Feng would need to start worrying about himself in the future!

    However, when he thought of how rich the experience this guy¡¯d had just by being in love, Chen Feng suddenly felt that this guy¡¯s love story was even more colorful than hispetition.

    Currently, Mu Yuan was leaning on the window and could fall out of the window at any time. Zhang Wei signaled Chen Feng with his eyes, telling him tofort Mu Yuan. At this, Chen Feng could only step forward.

    "Calm yourself." Chen Feng calmly said, "Breaking up is something normal. If you can calm down your state of mind, you might even profit from this disaster."

    Mu Yuan had a bewildered expression. "Profiting from disaster?"

    He had already suffered a disaster of such a degree. Could he still profit?

    "Naturally." Chen Feng thought for a bit before continuing. "In ancient times, there was an official called Ximen, who had lost his love. Next, he strolled through the street. While he was strolling, a pole smashed into his head. He raised his head to see that it was actually a seductive woman who¡¯d thrown the pole down."

    "And then, they got together?" Mu Yuan asked grudgingly.

    "Nope." Chen Feng had a solemn expression. "After Lord Ximen was smashed on his head, he sunk into deep contemtion, wondering why the pole had descended instead of ascended? Could it be that there was a certain force in this that was causing the pole to descend? Next, he invented the concept of gravity, called Ximen Dun[1]. From then on..."

    "Scram!" Mu Yuan smashed a wine bottle at Chen Feng and scolded with a smile on his face, "Screw your Ximen Dun. Even if you¡¯re going to make up a history, it has to be logical, right? Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not thinking of suicide. I¡¯m only here by the window to get some fresh air because I broke the air conditioning earlier due to my bad mood. Merely a breakup. It¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t experienced it before."

    He¡¯d broken the air conditioning?

    Chen Feng looked at the central air conditioning above him. How did he break this? Fine, whatever. As long as he¡¯s fine, all is good.

    Chen Feng and Zhang Wei were relieved. Next, they turned around and left.

    Mu Yuan: "???"

    The f*ck?! Even if I am not thinking of suicide, couldn¡¯t you take the feeling of one who has just lost his love into consideration? This is too excessive!

    "Chen Feng is leaving to prepare for thepetition. I believe you have yet to check the results of the third round, right?" Distantly, Zhang Wei¡¯s voice traveled over. A voice filled with hidden meaning. "If you haven¡¯t, I suggest you take a look. There are some other matters that might interest you more."

    What?

    Mu Yuan was somewhat lost.

    Since he¡¯d hooked up with the bunny-ear girl, he hadn¡¯t paid any attention to thepetition. He had been eliminated anyway, what was worth seeing there?

    Next, he went online and was immediately stunned.

    Chen Feng?

    First ce?

    First ce again?!

    Shocked, Mu Yuan continued checking online. Next, he saw the score that had far surpassed Qin Hai, Yun Xiaoduo, and the rest, the terrifying total score¡ª1,200 points!

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Mu Yuan inhaled a mouthful of cold air. This was Chen Feng¡¯s strength?

    Incredibly terrifying!

    He finally understood why he¡¯d been ignored when he was looking for Zhang Lin earlier. Instead, Zhang Lin was totally engrossed in studying about gene production with bloodshot eyes!

    So...

    Chen Feng had reached such a level?!

    Chen Feng already possessed such a terrifying power yet was still working hard. How about him?

    "Chen Feng." Mu Yuan felt his fighting spirit returning. "I will not allow the distance between us to grow too far."

    Breaking up?

    What could that be considered as!

    Currently, in a certain luxurious hotel, Qin Hai was staring nkly at the results.

    He was still fairly confident with his result. He believed that despite this not being a domain he specialized in, he would still be able to obtain victory! However, he had never imagined that there were three who shared the same score as him. Furthermore, there was one person who reigned high above everyone else!

    Yun Xiaoduo...

    He knew about this girl.

    Bizarre and fickle. This was his evaluation on this girl.

    One would never know what the limit of that little donkey was. There was also that yellow shaggy ball that had never acted. What type of ability did that ball possess? No one knew! Coupled with Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s somewhat crazy disposition, she was the most unfathomable among this trio.

    Huang He?

    With a nce, Qin Hai understood.

    This was the domain Huang He specialized in!

    He and Yun Xiaoduo had crossed swords against someone in a domain they were not familiar with. For them to reach a draw in the results, it was something eptable. However, only Chen Feng...

    Twelve hundred points?

    When he saw the results, he was immediately dumbstruck.

    What was this?

    When he saw the rey of thepetition and the data of the gene, he sunk into deep contemtion for a long time before he woke from it with an unprecedentedly bright shine in his eyes.

    His foundations and innate talent were above Chen Feng. However, his opponent was able to obtain victory by discovering such an unimaginable method among the ordinary rules of thepetition. This was an extremely quick-witted opponent.

    In this aspect, he was far behind Chen Feng!

    "So this is what defeated me."

    Qin Hai was enlightened.

    As far as he was concerned, second ce was equivalent to failure!

    After summarizing his experience and lessons learnt from this defeat, his fighting spirit once again surged. For the first time, he fully concentrated his attention and started preparing for the fourth round.

    Next round, he had to be victorious!

    At this time, all the producers were looking back at the contents of the third round. This was especially true for those who¡¯d survived the third round and were eligible to enter the fourth round!

    They did not have any time to y around or indulge in entertainment. They had to analyze their opponent¡¯s strengths!

    Based on what had happened in previouspetitions, the battle among the top hundred might be a genuine cross of swords!

    Now, a failure might be equivalent to death.

    They were able to understand the content of all the participants except for Chen Feng. These producers were collectively dumbstruck. This was the first ce holder?

    Chen Feng!

    Chen Feng again!

    After every round, the only person taking first ce was Chen Feng!

    At this point, if there was anyone who was still naively and stupidly treating Chen Feng as a normal producer, these people would be the truly idiotic ones. In ordance to everyone¡¯s guess, it was very probable for Chen Feng to have a high production level. However, he did not register his true information at the Gene Production Association.

    His strength was extremely terrifying!

    Twelve hundred points!

    Mutations!

    New forms!

    Once again, Chen Feng renewed everyone¡¯s perception on him.

    Everyone looked back and discovered that even if they were to once again go back to the previous rounds, they would not be able to aplish what Chen Feng had aplished. That was because they were simply incapable of producing these mutated genes!

    Even if one were able to understand what he¡¯d done, one would still fail to prevail over him!

    That was Chen Feng.

    When he first won first ce, a lot believed that it was due to luck. When he won first ce for the second time, regardless of whether he would survive till the end of thispetition, his ability was proved.

    In a certain Gene Production Association¡¯s branch, an old producer was overwhelmed by emotion. "This Chen Feng, it¡¯s him. I want to ept him as my disciple. His current level is merely beginner or intermediate producer. Once he receives proper training..."

    "Scram, do you think you will have the chance?"

    "If anyone were to ept Chen Feng as a disciple, it should be me, right?"

    "The f*ck can you two be considered as."

    Several producers were in a heated argument.

    In a certain organization.

    An old man looked at his children who were in dispute due to benefits and shook his head in disappointment. He switched his attention to the distant screen that was projecting Chen Feng on it.

    Such potential...

    "Yun Er," the old man suddenly said, "how old is Little Nan this year?"

    "Father." A graceful and opulent looking middle aged woman smiled bitterly. "She¡¯s only 14."

    "Fourteen, eh?" The old man thought about it. "We can give it a try."

    He believed that if they were able to attract Chen Feng to join theirpany as a production researcher, theirpany¡¯s condition might improve. Thispany that was past its prime might even rise from its death. Even if Chen Feng¡¯s current level was insufficient to aplish that, with his poprity alone, he would bring great profit to them!

    The middle-aged man beside him had worry all over his face.

    Roping Chen Feng in?

    Good idea.

    But then, he did not have any daughters! Would it be toote if he were to get his wife to give birth to one now?

    "Chen Feng..."

    Tonight, countless people remembered this name.

    At the same time.

    All the media outlets were unanimously singing Chen Feng¡¯s praises. During the end of the previous round, there were still a number of them that were questioning him. Now, though, none could be found questioning him. The recordings released by the Gene Production Association to prove Chen Feng¡¯s innocence were reyed constantly by the masses, especially the final ten seconds!

    That magnificent saint-like radiance he bathed in!

    Thateback of his during the crucial moment!

    These actions of Chen Feng¡¯s brought a deep sense offort to the heart of anyone who watched them.

    Their expectations toward him in the beginning? Totally repaid!

    This was a glory belonging to Chen Feng!

    For the whole three days, the name Chen Feng resounded worldwide!

    Three days passed just like that. All the participants were putting in great effort in seriously studying their opponents. No one dared to look down on their opponents, regardless of their rank!

    The masses were increasingly looking forward to the next round.

    Soon, the three-day break was over.

    At ten sharp, Chen Feng and the rest once again reached the arena.

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    Fourth round, officially began!

    Footnotes:

    1. A namey here, Newton, the one who discovered gravity, was pronounced as Niu Dun in Chinese. Here, Chen Feng added a ¡®Dun¡¯ as a wordy for his story of the person who discovered the gravity.

 Chapter 134: Rules of the Fourth Round!

    Chapter 134: Rules of the Fourth Round!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    What was the fourth round?

    Battle of the top 100!

    Those capable of surviving up till this point were all elite producers filtered out of a countless amount of producers. Every single one of these people possessed an extremely high production level!

    Every single one of them possessed high amounts of poprity and fans!

    The intensity of thepetition had also reached its highest point since the start of this year¡¯spetition.

    "What will be the contents of this round?"

    Countless crowds looked forward to it.

    Shua!

    Light swirled and the ice-cold machinery voice resounded.

    "In the fourth round, the participants will be required to produce support gene reagents that will be used to support an android as the android battles it out against others."

    "One victory will be equivalent to one point."

    "The defeated will not receive any points."

    "One form will be given for free. Production materials will be supplied without limit."

    "Stage of production: daytime (10 hours). After production ispleted, the participants will enter the battle stage. The producer will be the one controlling the android to participate in battles. (Friendly reminder: In order to make the evaluation process easier, the gene reagent used during the battle will not be truly consumed. After the battle ends, the gene reagent will be restored to be used in the next battle.)"

    "The final ranking will be decided by the scores."

    "Only ten participants shall survive this round."

    "The rest¡ªeliminated!"

    Hua!

    Everyone was in an uproar!

    Support!

    It was actually support!

    What was the so-called support gene reagent?

    It meant that the gene reagent one produced could only be used on the android instead of the opponent. The produced gene reagents were only allowed to be used to support the android in battle!

    There were no restrictions on the quantity used in this round!

    In other words, theoretically, one could use a countless amount of support gene reagents!

    As long as these reagents did not conflict with each other.

    When using multiple different gene reagents at the same time, there was a certain probability that a conflict would ur among the gene reagents, leading toward mutation or some negative changes. However, as long as one were to juggle this wisely...

    One would be able to use countless gene reagents!

    In this round, abundant time was left for production and testing. Hence, one could imagine how many gene reagents would be appearing on the bodies of these androids.

    Another round where one¡¯s umtion was tested.

    How many support gene reagents that would not conflict with each other did each of the producers possessed?

    One?

    Two?

    Or more?

    Without a doubt, when facing an android with the same ability, the participants capable of using more support genes on their androids would be the ones capable of providing a greater increase of strength to their androids, and they would be the ones victorious!

    This was apetition simting realbat, leaving no chance for any trickery.

    "Hum!"

    Azure radiance blossomed.

    All the participants appeared in a hugeboratory respectively.

    "This is..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped.

    This was an independentboratory. Within were countless materials. Every single one of these materials was ready to use. Even those materials that couldn¡¯t be preserved were preserved using a simted ecosphere. This was the so-called unlimited supply of materials. Whatever materials one required, they would be avable here.

    On the table was a form chip.

    Chen Feng turned it on.

    Shua!

    A light screen appeared.

    The gene bank was once again opened and countless forms appeared.

    "Ding!"

    "Kindly choose your form," the ice-cold voice prompted.

    Chen Feng ignored the voice. Instead, he stared forward distantly. There, in the huge training room, stood a gold-colored figure that resembled a standard-looking human, waiting for his orders.

    This was the android?

    Chen Feng felt astonished.

    Shua!

    He nced at it and a row of data appeared before his eyes.

    ----

    Android

    Spirit: 200

    Strength: 200

    Physique: 200

    Agility: 200

    Gic ability: Spirit Shock. Condensing spiritual energy and using it to attack the opponent, bringing about a certain amount of spiritual damage.

    ----

    This was a standard-issue android.

    Possessing bnced attributes, it also possessed a gic ability; however, the gic ability was rather ordinary. The producer¡¯s mission was to provide support to this android, making it stronger! Its body was built as an imitation of a human with same type of genes a human would have in its body. Hence, there was almost no difference from a regr human¡¯s body. One could use all sorts of gene reagents on it.

    "Realbat simtion indeed!"

    Chen Feng had a solemn mood.

    Once again, the rules of this round were focused on his weakness.

    Support gene?

    He did not even posses a single one of those!

    "umtion..."

    Chen Feng suddenly recalled the words he¡¯d heard previously.

    The stronger one¡¯s umtion[1] was, the further one could advance in the Gene Rookie Competition.

    In actuality, this was the truth. The original purpose of the Gene Rookie Competition was to choose the strongest producer. Without sufficient umtion, how could one hope to be the winner?!

    The first round, second round, third round, or the fourth round. In almost all the rounds, it might appear that one was allowed to choose a form to produce the required gene; however, with the way the rules were set, these rounds were simply a trial of one¡¯s umtion!

    The first round¡¯s theoretical foundation...

    The second round¡¯s material-gathering¨Crted knowledge...

    The third round¡¯s three types of injuries. Despite Qin Hai choosing curses, he possessed his own injury-healing form. Otherwise, it would¡¯ve been impossible for him to obtain 350 points.

    All this was umtion!

    And in this round, the umtion being tested was the quantity and quality of support forms one knew.

    Choosing a form?

    Regardless of how strong the form was, only one could be chosen!

    Against the androids of other participants enveloped in 17 or 18 types of support genes, how could a participant who only possessed a single support gene defeat the opponent?

    5-star? Mutation?

    No matter how strong it was, one would still need to bend their knees before these pure quantities!

    When the amount of support genes reached a certain point, the quantity would definitely give rise to a qualitative change!

    Chen Feng frowned. "This will be somewhat troublesome."

    Lumberbear gene...

    Thundersnake gene...

    Gold ant gene...

    Illusionary snake gene...

    ...

    Chen Feng looked back at all the forms he knew. Howmentable was it that not a single one of these was a support gene! Oh, no¡ªgold ant gene could be considered as a semi-support gene.

    Perhaps...

    He could try producing a mutated gold ant gene?

    Unfortunately, an increase of 20 points in its spirit attribute was simply too small an amount for this android. Apart from this, Chen Feng did not possess any usable genes!

    In other words, after selecting the single gene form from the gene bank, Chen Feng would possess only one usable gene, and a brand new gene for him on top of that.

    He would have to use this single gene to support the android in its battle against the other androids that were supported by seven, eight, or even more than ten types of support genes!

    Forget about mutation, even if the gene he chose had its very nature changed, it would still be useless against that.

    "Ding¡ª"

    "Kindly choose your form," the ice-cold machinery voice prompted Chen Feng once again.

    "Which should I choose?"

    Chen Feng stared at the gene bank. What should he do this time?

    At this time, in the control center of the virtualpany building, Gao Yunfeng was indifferently looking at this scene.

    "Look at this."

    "There¡¯s no need for me to do anything. He will end up eliminating himself. I acknowledge Chen Feng¡¯s talent. Perhaps, in two more years, he will be the new champion of the Gene Rookie Competition."

    "As for now? He¡¯s not enough."

    Gao Yunfeng shook his head.

    Able to be acknowledged by him as the champion two years down the road, it was apparent that Chen Feng¡¯s ability was still recognized by him despite the many times Chen Feng had foiled his ns.

    "He is too young," Gao Yunfengmented. "His umtion is too shallow."

    The old man had a faint smile. "Are you not afraid that he will be grabbing first ce once again?"

    Gao Yunfeng¡¯s ns seemed to have been foiled twice as of now, right?

    He was still so confident?

    "It¡¯s different this time.

    "This time, it¡¯s a realbat support!" Gao Yunfeng shook his head. "Based on what I¡¯m aware of, Qin Hai alone had mastered two 5-star E-ss support gene forms, two 4-star E-ss support gene forms, and arge amount of other forms. Every single one of these forms is extremely powerful. Even those 5-star forms in the gene bank won¡¯t amount to much, right?

    "How is Chen Feng supposed to surpass this?

    "Even if he were to add his gic ability into the equation, it would still be insufficient."

    "Granted, he is the winner of the previous rounds. However, he obtained those through trickeries. This time, there¡¯s no chance for him to win in such a manner," Gao Yunfeng analyzed seriously.

    Such an attitude was essential for a research schr.

    Not berating or using anyone. Instead, he analyzed with facts.

    "Is that so?" The old manughed as he said, "Let¡¯s open our eyes wide and watch, then."

    Chapter 135: Bluebat Gene!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Fourth round¡ªform choosing stage.

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    Every producer present chose their gene form.

    This time, there were not many reactions to the choices of the producers, as in this round, the influence of the selected form was quite minimal.

    4-star form?

    5-star form?

    There wasn¡¯t much difference.

    Only by selecting a form that waspatible with the forms one had already mastered could the selected support gene be able to disy the strongest might it was capable of.

    In actuality, up till now, the surviving participants were either high intermediate or peak intermediate producers. Their production star ratings were at least 60 stars or above!

    What did this signify?

    The lowest difficulty forms were those 1-star forms and these remaining participants were those who possessed at least 60 stars worth of these E-ss forms! This had not even taken into consideration the fact that every single intermediate producer out there would possess arge amount of F-ss forms as well!

    Every single intermediate producer possessed a rich amount of gene forms.

    Healing...

    Defensive...

    Attack...

    Apart from what they were good at, they mastered a lot of other types of forms as well.

    Granted, they had not had the opportunity to use a lot of these forms during the second and third rounds. However, during this round, they were able to optimally disy their forms.

    Some of them were already starting to rearrange their database.

    Qin Hai: A total of 25 support-type gene forms.

    Yun Xiaoduo: Unknown number of support-type gene forms. However, based on her registration details, the presently recorded support-type gene forms that had once appeared on her reached an amount of 22...

    Apart from this, the other participants each had around more than 10 or over 20 forms respectively.

    Only a very few of them possessed support-type gene forms numbered in single digits.

    And those simr to Chen Feng?

    None of the others were in such situation.

    All these participants were those who had gone through years of practice, reaching this level step by step. This fact was especially true for them when they were beginner producers, a stage full of difficulties where arge amount of gene forms were required to raise their level.

    As for Chen Feng?

    Only three months.

    Regardless of which aspect thepetition tested, it would touch on Chen Feng¡¯s weakness.

    "He did not even have a single support form?"

    When the viewers saw the records, they were stunned.

    They were aware that Chen Feng might have been somewhatcking in this aspect, having a low number of mastered support gene forms. However, they had never expected that the number of his mastered support type gene forms were a big zero!

    "Damn, doesn¡¯t this mean that... he can only use the gene he chooses here?"

    "This..."

    "How is he supposed to win with this?"

    Everyone was dumbfounded.

    Different than earlier, now, Chen Feng had his own die-hard fans. They were hoping that Chen Feng would be the one to obtain the final victory.

    However...

    Not a single form?

    They looked at the other participants that possessed more than 10 support-type gene forms and were dumbstruck.

    How was he supposed to win with this?

    This was not the matter of their trust in Chen Feng.

    Rather, Chen Feng¡¯s umtion was truly so low that it caused one¡¯s hair to stand up in anger. This was applicable not only to the support-type gene chosen in this round, even if it was attack, defense, or healing...

    Chen Feng had zero chances.

    "He should be able to win, right?"

    A lot of Chen Feng¡¯s fans were somewhat unconfident now.

    At this time, the fans of other producers who were previously berated to the point they were speechless appeared once again.

    "With such an umtion, he still dares to participate in thispetition?"

    "Hahaha, after relying on some random gic ability and that exotic line of thought he possesses to obtain two wins, he thinks he is so very impressive? Look at Qin Hai!"

    "I know, right..."

    "Pitiful Chen Feng. The lowest umtion in the top hundred."

    "On what basis are you using our Chen Feng of having the lowest umtion? What joke is this. Is this something you would call low umtion? Looking at him, it¡¯s more suitable to say that he simply has zero umtion! Hahahaha."

    "666666."

    Everyone started sneering.

    Chen Feng¡¯s fans were unsatisfied and started hurling abuses at them. Momentarily, the chat was spammed furiously. Due to this, no one was able to see what Chen Feng was doing. Able to spam the three dimensional chat in the virtual world to the point where the whole zone was filled with only spam and nothing else could be seen, this demonstrated the terrifying number of viewers in Chen Feng¡¯s livestream room.

    However...

    Could Chen Feng really win?

    No one knew!

    Despite his talent, despite his astonishing production capabilities!

    This time, it was a realbatpetition!

    Everyone looked at thepetition.

    Due to the unlimited supply of materials, the participants only needed to concentrate on producing the gene forms they had. Furthermore, different from the brand new form obtained from the gene bank, they were already very well practiced with their own forms. Hence, they were able to easily produce these forms without any problems.

    One...

    Two...

    Three...

    Everyone was putting their effort toward their production.

    The one day provided was adequate for them to produce their gene reagents, familiarize themselves with the new forms, and perform simtion tests on their assigned androids.

    Tick tock.

    Time passed.

    Chen Feng had chosen his form as well.

    ----

    Bluebat Gene Form

    Difficulty: 5-star

    Function: Instantly increases the user¡¯s spiritual energy by 500 points for a duration of 3 seconds. Only able to use once per day.

    Limitations: E ss

    Introduction: Produced from the blood essence of a bluebat. Various materials are required to trigger the mysterious power contained within the bluebat gene, producing a special gene reagent as a result.

    ----

    "????"

    Everyone was lost.

    What was the meaning of this?

    In all honesty, the form selection was something nobody cared about when it happened to other participants. Even if the participant were to choose some worthless attack gene, nobody cared!

    However, Chen Feng?

    He was the person who possessed only this one support gene that he¡¯d selected!

    Why had he chosen this form?

    "Big brother, stop messing around!"

    "Big brother, I believe in your ability toeback! Can you please choose a more tyrannical form, for example, those support genes possessing super powerful killing power... allowing your android to kill with a single hit?"

    "Requesting for a violent mutated gene!"

    The chat was spammed furiously.

    This time, even Chen Feng¡¯s fans couldn¡¯t calm themselves, as the gene chosen this time was truly useless!

    Instantly increasing spiritual energy by 500 points??

    What was the point in that?

    One needed to know that the only spiritual attack the android possessed was thatmon Spirit Shock. Without any enhancements, its attack power was very ordinary!

    Look at those powerful spirit type abilities¡ª

    Raging mes Storm!

    Psionic Ice de!

    Able to amplify thebat power by several times. As for that Spirit Shock?

    There was no amplification on the android¡¯sbat power!

    It was simply an attack that purely utilized the spiritual energy to charge forward, that was all there was to it.

    Furthermore, the android only had 200 points of spiritual energy. Even if it received an increase of 500 points, it would only be 700 points. When battling against others, it was somewhat worthless.

    Besides that...

    Three seconds!

    This ridiculous duration!

    Could a battle between androids end in three seconds?

    They doubted it.

    "Is he aiming for superposition?" someone guessed. "If the gene is able to achieve a superposition affect after mutation..."

    "Impossible!" Someone rejected that firmly. "Regardless of whether it possessed the ability to achieve the superposition effect or not, he would not be able to utilize it. What joke is this, do you think the 500 points increased here is due to the limitations of the gene? No. It is due to the limitations of a human¡¯s body! Even a person in the higher levels of E-ss would only possess around 1,000 attribute points. If you were to instantly increase their attributes by too high an amount..."

    "Bang!"

    "Your brain will be roasted immediately!"

    "Bing brainless!"

    "Your body will copse in a short amount of time, dispersing into nothingness!"

    "So that¡¯s the case."

    Everyone had a solemn mood.

    Superposition wouldn¡¯t do it?

    Why had Chen Feng chosen this form then?

    They were unable to make sense of it.

    "This... Chen Feng must have his reasons for choosing this."

    The fans of Chen Feng exined.

    "Hehe." A person sneered suddenly. "Have you taken a look at the livestream room of Yun Xiaoduo and the rest?"

    "What?"

    Everyone went over to take a look. Immediately, their expressions changed greatly.

    Chapter 136: The Bizarre Insta-Kill

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s livestream room.

    Yun Xiaoduo had used several gene reagents on her assigned android.

    Hum¡ª

    Light swirled.

    The android¡¯s spirit attribute had increased by 500 points!

    "With this, the basic attribute should be sufficient."

    Yun Xiaoduo pped her tiny hands, feeling very pleased.

    At this time, if anyone were to check the attributes of her assigned android, they would find with astonishment that all four attributes of this android were at 700!

    Gene attribute increase?

    Chen Feng was not the only one capable of doing this.

    This was simply the start.

    "3-star F-ss support gene¡ªFull-body Stone Transformation, duration of 10 seconds."

    Yun Xiaoduo continued without stop.

    Sess!

    Instant Fire Transformation...

    Liquid Transformation...

    Etc.

    Yun XIaoduo started producing one mystical gene reagent after another.

    Gene attribute increase?

    These were only a small portion of the gene reagents she produced.

    The amount of attribute increase that could be given to an E ss was too limited.

    Hence...

    All-rounded types of supporting effects and instant enhancements were Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s trump card.

    Everyone started using Yun Xiaoduo as a basis ofparison and found that Chen Feng had no chance of seeding. ording to their collected data, Chen Feng really could be eliminated in this round.

    Analysis on the android...

    Analysis on the gene attributes...

    Analysis on the gic ability...

    ...

    Regardless of which angle they looked at it from, Chen Feng would be ranked below top 90. His total strength was at the bottom tier among the participants.

    At this time, in the livestream room of a participant called Lin Ke, light shone in his eyes.

    With gene reagents, he was forging his very own expert fighter. Before his eyes, under his efforts, the whole body of his android had became extremely different than the rest.

    "Hum¡ª"

    He tossed out a bottle of gene reagent.

    "Solidify!"

    "Hum¡ª"

    The gene reagent dissolved into a clump of energy before morphing into a piece of armor.

    "Ka!"

    The armornded on the android¡¯s body.

    wless execution.

    "Sess!"

    Lin Ke was agitated.

    Before his eyes, that ordinary and mediocre-looking android had transformed into an armored android whose body was filled to the brim with a dreadful force of energy.

    This was a mechanical armor!

    A mechanical armor produced by support gene reagent!

    "Hahaha."

    Lin Ke was in ecstasy.

    The victory of this round would be his!

    "Despite the duration being somewhat short, it is definitely capable of unleashing a tenfold worth of power!"

    Lin Ke was agitated.

    He knew that a new legend belonging to him was beginning.

    At this moment, in his livestream room, a huge crowd had entered. These people were here to witness the birth of that mechanical armor. That metallic lustor on the armor bewitched countless people here.

    "Damn, Gundam."

    "It¡¯s only mechanical armor. Honestly, the fact that he produced mechanical armor is not quite mystical. A lot of gic abilities could aplish this. However, capable of producing an instant mechanical armor using a support gene reagent, this Lin Ke is truly excessively powerful."

    "The rise of a second Huang He."

    Everyone eximed in admiration.

    Chen Feng, Huang He...

    Now, a Lin Ke had appeared!

    The Gene Rookie Competition was indeed a venue that provided chances for people to showcase their talent.

    At this time, everyone was preparing for the iing battle.

    Due to the existence of many unknown forms and forms that these producers had originally known, based on the data in the livestream room alone, the viewers were unable to get a clue as to how some of these gene reagents worked.

    This round was heavily focused on the battle stage!

    Time passed quietly.

    In the arena, Chen Feng was calmly producing genes.

    He was aware of his true power. As he had only been in this profession for a very short time, if he wanted to obtain victory with his ability as a novice, he had to use some peculiar methods!

    umtion and foundations?

    Realbat?

    Despite the rules set in this round being somewhat restrictive, Chen Feng had still managed to seize a glimmer of hope from the rules. It was the chance for him to obtain victory. At the same time, it was also the chance for him to rush to the forefront among the participants!

    "Come at me."

    Chen Feng inhaled.

    He refused to believe that he would not be able to win this round.

    Shua!

    Gene productionplete.

    Chen Feng nced at it and an expression of delight appeared on his face. Indeed, it was not too far away from what he had estimated. If such a degree of mutation was used...

    He might still be able to fight it out!

    Time passed quietly.

    Night arrived and the production stage officially ended. The battle stage began!

    "Ding!"

    "Kindly carry your gene reagents with you and enter a battle-ready state," the ice-cold machinery voice prompted.

    "Bang!"

    Androids appeared.

    A silhouette of light swirled before Chen Feng¡¯s eyes before transforming into a huge screen. On it was the information rted to his android. Around the information were the gene reagents he had produced earlier.

    During the battle, he could use the gene reagents on his android at any time.

    "Is it starting?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s lips curled into a smile.

    He was truly not proficient with support genes. However, as for other genes...

    "Ding."

    "Battle preparationpleted."

    "Everyone, kindly get to your stations."

    "The battle stage officially begins."

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    Countless pictures flickered as random opponents were matched.

    Chen Feng vs Zhao Liu.

    "Bang!"

    A huge virtual ring descended.

    Two androids appeared in the middle of the ring. In midair was a shining number that was counting down. After the 3-second countdown, the match would officially begin.

    "It begins."

    A lot of viewers were watching this in Chen Feng¡¯s livestream room.

    Regardless of whether these were his haters or fans, this was his first battle. They wanted to see if Chen Feng could truly advance forward in this round.

    "Zhao Liu has 12 support genes."

    "Yeah, although he is in the bottom ranks of the top 100, in the aspect of support genes, he is still much more powerful than Chen Feng."

    Everyone started discussing spiritedly.

    Right at this moment, the battle erupted.

    "Hum¡ª"

    On Zhao Liu¡¯s android, multi-colored gene reagents appeared with a sh. That was the effect of the various support genes he¡¯d used, possessing a terrifying might.

    As for Chen Feng?

    Only a faintyer of light was swirling around his android.

    That was the glow of the bluebat gene.

    "Howl¡ª"

    The Zhao Liu¨Ccontrolled android howled as it turned into a sh and streaked toward Chen Feng¡¯s android.

    Incredibly fast!

    The android had astonishingly increased its agility to the limit.

    "So fast!"

    "This speed already reaches the level of a D-ss warrior. On top of that, there are also other enhancements!"

    "Chen Feng is finished."

    Everyone¡¯s hearts chilled.

    This speed...

    Too heaven defying!

    However, at this moment, Chen Feng slightly raised his hand, and a faint shockwave shed. With that, the android that was streaking forth with a high speed copsed instantly.

    Victory!

    "Battle ends. Chen Feng is victorious, obtaining 1 point."

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    Chen Feng returned to the battle preparation area.

    "????!"

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    "The f*ck?"

    Everyone was confused.

    Winning just like that?

    It was the same situation in the second, third, and even the fourth round! Every time one believed that Chen Feng had reached his limits, he would employ an inconceivable method to obtain victory.

    And now, the same thing was happening.

    "Did you all see what happened?"

    "No."

    "I only saw Zhao Liu¡¯s android charge forth, and then it ended."

    Everyone answered honestly.

    None were able to see clearly what had happened, due to it being too fast.

    Too fast.

    Chen Feng¡¯s second battle began.

    As usual, his opponent erupted with his strongestbat power the moment they entered the ring. A terrifying android charged toward Chen Feng. However, Chen Feng merely raised his hand.

    Shua!

    A sh of the bluebat gene reagent¡¯s light.

    His opponent copsed immediately.

    Victory!

    Once again, Chen Feng obtained 1 point.

    Chapter 137: Insta-Killing Everyone!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "???"

    "Damn, what happened?"

    In Chen Feng¡¯s livestream room, everyone had a stupefied expression.

    The same thing repeated!

    One of them smiled forcefully as he said, "I tried my best to look at it earlier. I could only see a sh of energy. Next, his opponent was directly defeated and the battle ended..."

    "Same here," the rest agreed.

    What damnable situation was this?!

    Look at the other livestream rooms. In each room, two androids with light swirling all over their bodies could be seen engaged in savage battle. Every single punch was hit right on the flesh, giving the viewers an unprecedentedly carefree feeling.

    As for Chen Feng¡¯s room?

    Insta-kill!

    One could not even see the process of things. The only thing one could see was the moment of victory, that instant that was locked onto by the camera.

    "Ah ah ah, I can¡¯t take this anymore."

    "I refuse to believe that I won¡¯t be able to get a single clear look."

    "Every android had different support genes used on them. Some received speed enhancements, some received defense enhancements, and apart from attribute increases, there¡¯s also ability strengthening. I refuse to believe that Chen Feng will be able to insta-kill his opponents every time."

    "Agree."

    A lot of people firmed their heart against Chen Feng.

    The third battle began.

    This time, Chen Feng¡¯s opponent was a participant who was fully focused on defense.

    Both the physique and spirit attributes of the android had been greatly strengthened. Coupled with the enhancements provided by the support gene reagents, it possessed an extremely astonishing defense.

    "This time, it definitely won¡¯t end just like that."

    "Yeah, even if Chen Feng can obtain victory, we will be able to see what methods he used."

    Everyone was looking forward to it.

    "That¡¯s for sure."

    "Against such a powerful defense, insta-kill is definitely impossible¡ªF*ck! It ended?"

    The viewer who was mid-sentence had a dumbstruck expression.

    At this time, in the virtual ring, the android possessing extremely powerful defense had copsed and turned into scraps before disappearing. The victory screen was locked onto Chen Feng as the battle ended.

    Chen Feng gained another point.

    Insta-kill!

    Another insta-kill!

    "..."

    The whole livestream room was silent.

    After a long time, someone said in a low voice, "How is this possible?!"

    True.

    How was that possible?!

    That was a defensive-type participant.

    Everyone had received the same temte of android, so how the heck was he insta-killing the other androids?

    Strength?

    Spirit?

    Agility?

    They could not see any hope of victory from Chen Feng. Yet it was in such a hopeless situation that Chen Feng only needed to slightly raise his hand to easily insta-kill his opponents, shocking everyone present.

    "This is only the third match..."

    "His opponents so far might be theparatively weak ones?" everyone guessed.

    Next, Chen Feng continued his matches.

    Fourth match, insta-kill!

    Fifth match, insta-kill!

    ...

    Twentieth match, insta-kill!

    ...

    Everyone was dumbstruck as they watched Chen Feng¡¯s smooth sailing.

    Insta-killing all the way!

    Without pause!

    Regardless of the strength of his opponent, as long as Chen Feng moved, the opponents would be insta-killed! In the time span required for one match by others, Chen Feng hadpleted ten matches!

    Too fast!

    This...

    The whole virtual livestream room was in an uproar.

    Chen Feng was not the only one progressing impressively. There were several other producers who obtained continuous victories as well.

    Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s android bathed in me with an iparably terrifying appearance. Very few participants could survive more than three of her android¡¯s punches. Lin Ke¡¯s android had a huge mechanical armor on its body. With the azure-colored light swirling around it, when its fist descended, regardless of how powerful its opponents were, they would be beaten to death!

    Apart from this, there was a particr android radiating with gold light, sturdy as a rock.

    Its gene attributes were not particrly high. However, with the assistance of all sorts of formidable defense-type support genes, it was nearly undefeated. All sorts of attacks were ineffective against it. Next, its opponent would be exhausted to death.

    This was a path of a pure defense-type battling method.

    There was also a particr android that possessed an extremely fast speed, leaving afterimages all over the ce. Different from Zhao Liu¡¯s agility attribute increase, this android¡¯s agility attribute was rather ordinary. The reason for its fast speed was due to the effect of the support gene reagents used on it. With tens of afterimages shing around the ring, one would never know which was the real body. And the moment one was hit, only death awaited!

    This was a path of a pure agility-type battling method.

    Incredibly terrifying.

    Countless people felt their blood burning from excitement as they watched the matches.

    "So powerful."

    "I wonder when will they encounter each other."

    "Yeah, between the strongest attack and the strongest defense, who will be the one surviving till the end?"

    Everyone was looking forward to this.

    Yun Xiaoduo...

    Lin Ke...

    Everyone fully disyed a style unique to themselves.

    This was the battle of the top hundred. Almost everyone here had their own fans and poprity. The viewers of thepetition were able recognize the names of almost all these participants.

    Who would be the final survivor?

    None knew.

    That was because these highlighted participants were undefeated.

    Twenty matches.

    Thirty matches.

    Forty matches.

    They had yet to encounter any defeats!

    However, this was an all-out battle. Regardless of one¡¯s strength, one would still need to face every single one of the other 99 participants. Hence, Chen Feng had finally matched against an opponent who had yet to taste defeat as well.

    Sixty-second match.

    Chen Feng vs Tong Linger.

    "It¡¯s her."

    "The one whose android was extremely fast, capable of leaving countless afterimages around!"

    Everyone gasped.

    Tong Linger, possessing 19 support gene reagents.

    Under the constantbination of her support genes, she was able to grant her android a temporary explosion in speed, capable of leaving countless afterimages behind!

    She was undefeated.

    This was because the androids did not have any way to counter these afterimages of hers.

    If one couldn¡¯t even find the real body, how was one supposed to contend with her?

    "The confrontation of strong ones!"

    Everyone was excited.

    "I wonder who will be victorious," someone said emotionally.

    "Victory my ass. I couldn¡¯t care less about this. What I care about is, Chen Feng¡¯s insta-kill ability, what on earth is that?" someone said.

    Everyone agreed with the sentiment.

    What method was Chen Feng using to insta-kill his opponents?

    No one knew.

    Despite the fact that Chen Feng had insta-killed 61 times, they had still failed to find a clue about that. This was the most terrifying aspect of it.

    This time, against an android with countless afterimages and possessing extremely highbat power, with a certain degree of defensive methods on top of it, would Chen Feng be victorious?

    Shua!

    The battle begun.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Countless afterimages scattered around.

    Xiu!

    Layers uponyers of afterimages streaked toward Chen Feng¡¯s android from different angles and different directions, and even the speed of their charges was also different, giving no chance for the opponent to discover the real body.

    Which was the real body?

    "Bang!"

    Chen Feng raised his hand slightly, activating his gene reagent.

    "Hum¡ª"

    A faint light flickered on his android¡¯s body.

    Shua!

    All afterimages disappeared instantly.

    The android copsed immediately, flung away.

    End of battle.

    Chen Feng, victorious.

    "Fcckkkk!"

    Everyone widened their mouths for a long time. Again?

    Insta-kill!

    Another insta-kill!

    This was Tong Linger!

    The Tong Linger who was undefeated up till now!

    She had actually... ended up getting insta-killed?

    Only now did everyone realize something. This time, Chen Feng might have once again created an extremely terrifying powerful gene, and he might even grab first ce once again.

    "That won¡¯t happen, right?" Someone meekly said, "After all, there are still several of those undefeated participants out there..."

    However, shortly after, Chen Feng was matched against those people.

    Chen Feng¡¯s 71st match.

    Chen Feng vs Lin Ke.

    The android with mechanical armor and an extremely powerful energy armor assembled using gene reagents, capable of amplifying thebat power by a wide margin, the android of Lin Ke!

    There were still quite a number of people who were looking forward to this confrontation.

    Next...

    The battle began.

    One secondter, the battle ended.

    Insta-kill!

    Another insta-kill!

    Ah?

    Lin Ke had a bewildered expression.

    From the start till the end, he did not even have a chance to do anything!

    Extremely powerful energy and mechanical armor?

    Tenfold amplification in power?

    Before Chen Feng¡¯s insta-killing ability, they were all pointless.

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Insta-kill!

    Another insta-kill!

    Defeating Lin Ke was only the beginning. Only when Chen Feng continued defeating one celebrity producer after another, before ultimately defeating Yun Xiaoduo as well, did an rmed expression appeared on everyone¡¯s faces.

    "Yun Xiaoduo was defeated as well?"

    "Chen Feng is actually so powerful?"

    Everyone was shocked.

    Only at this moment did they realize how terrifying Chen Feng was. So many previously undefeated producers were insta-killed by Chen Feng.

    "Chen Feng is going to win first ce once again?"

    At this moment, Chen Feng was matched against a new opponent. This matchup had caused a sensation among countless people.

    Chen Feng vs Qin Hai!

    "It¡¯s Qin Hai."

    Everyone¡¯s eyes shone.

    Qin Hai.

    The producer with the highest amount of support genes!

    Up till now, just like Chen Feng, he had maintained his winning streak. The path he had chosen this round was the sharpest path, only strengthening his android in one particr aspect¡ª

    Attack!

    Highest strength attribute!

    Strongest attack enhancement!

    Strongest energy weapon!

    In the hand of Qin Hai¡¯s android was an energy sword flickering with a dazzling radiance. It was capable of disying a terrifying power to instantly defeat its opponent!

    Even if it was not insta-kill, it was still terrifying!

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    Both of them and their androids appeared on the ring at the same time.

    "Chen Feng!"

    Qin Hai¡¯s battle spirit was surging.

    Seventy-five¨Cvictory streak. He had waited for this moment for far too long!

    "Qin Hai."

    Chen Feng had a solemn expression.

    Toward this textbook-like perfect producer, he had a deep impression. This opponent was also the strongestpetitor of his in thispetition!

    Shua!

    Battle began!

    "Condense!"

    Qin Hai activated all his gene reagents.

    Hum¡ª

    The energy sword on the android¡¯s hand started blossoming with a terrifying might. Faintly, one could feel that it somewhat surpassed the power of one at this ss. Cracks even appeared in the air around it. Oneyer of support aura after another enveloped the energy sword. That was the effect of Qin Hai¡¯s support genes!

    Incredibly terrifying.

    "sh!"

    Qin Hai controlled the android as the sword was swung down.

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying energy spread out.

    At this, Chen Feng raised his hand like usual, aiming at Qin Hai.

    "Bang!"

    Light swirled.

    The dreadful radiance from the descending energy sword blossomed in the air. When it was 1 cm away from Chen Feng, it stopped there, never to move again.

    The radiance gradually faded from the air.

    The battle ended.

    "What?"

    Everyone nked.

    It ended?!

    They raised their head to take a look before noticing that Qin Hai¡¯s android had copsed at this moment, dead under Chen Feng¡¯s attack!

    "Hua..."

    Everyone was in an uproar.

    No one had expected this result!

    Insta-kill!

    Insta-kill as usual!

    "I¡¯m afraid nobody is capable of stopping Chen Feng now, right?"

    "Such terrifying strength!"

    "Even Qin Hai was defeated. Who can stop him?"

    Everyone eximed in admiration.

    Eighty-win streak!

    Ny-win streak!

    Once again, Chen Feng¡¯s winning streaks increased rapidly.

    At this moment, an astonishing incident happened. Qin Hai was once again defeated!

    His opponent was a producer named Sun Han, the guy whose android seemed to be bathed in gold light, looking sturdy as a rock and possessing unequaled defense.

    Hisbat style was¡ª

    Tiring his opponents to death!

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    Everyone was bewildered.

    "He is too freaking sturdy."

    Those who had witnessed the match previously startedining. "That guy is simply abor livestock[1]. Using over 20 support gene forms entirely consisting of defensive gene reagents. Is he sick?!"

    "Qin Hai couldn¡¯t even break through his defense. How is he supposed to fight?"

    "Honestly, if Qin Hai was fighting personally, he would¡¯ve won long ago. However, this is a battle between androids; hence, there¡¯s no way to break the defense!"

    In fact, Sun Han was not particrly powerful. That was because his winning streaks onlysted 12 matches before it ended.

    In his 13th match, he encountered a guy possessing several recovery gene forms. Every time his android was dying, a recovery gene reagent would be used and the android would be energetic and frisky like a brand new android again.

    The Sun Han who was exceptional at exhausting others to death end up getting exhausted to his death as well.

    This was the so-called repressive effect!

    However¡ª

    Even with this, Sun Han¡¯s ability was not to be undermined.

    Among the top 100, the best defensive gene-reagent producer was Sun Han. The android he supported had the undisputed number-one defense among all the androids there.

    Unequaled by anyone else!

    "So such a battling method actually exists?"

    "Wait."

    "Doesn¡¯t this mean that he might be able to defeat Chen Feng?"

    Everyone suddenly realized something.

    At this time, Chen Feng¡¯s winning streak had reached 95 wins, and only four opponents remained. If nothing unexpected happened, the match anticipated by many would happen soon!

    Chen Feng vs Sun Han!

    The confrontation between the strongest attack and the strongest defense!

    On the virtual ring, both androids appeared. Countless eyes locked on Chen Feng, waiting for the start of the match, waiting for the secret behind Chen Feng¡¯s insta-kills to be exposed!

    Everyone was looking forward to it.

    The number of viewers in the livestream rooms of Chen Feng and Sun Han had increased greatly.

    Ten million viewers!

    Fifteen million viewers!

    Twenty million viewers!

    ...

    For the first time, their livestream rooms reached a previously inconceivable height, evenpared with the other livestream rooms worldwide.

    In Chen Feng¡¯s livestream room.

    Everyone here wanted to see clearly what methods Chen Feng employed for his insta-kills. Even Chen Feng¡¯s fans were wishing that Chen Feng¡¯s victory would be slowed down by a few seconds.

    Mhm...

    The sentiments here were to let them witness clearly Chen Feng¡¯s insta-kill methods.

    As for the livestream room of Sun Han?

    "Do your best, Sun Han!"

    "Defeat the demon king Chen Feng!"

    "Fight for themon producers! You are the final defensive line of us producers!"

    The chat was spammed endlessly.

    Everyone there was actually hoping that Sun Han would exhaust Chen Feng to death.

    The strength of Chen Feng¡¯s attack was without doubt.

    However, Sun Han was good at dealing with such producers. This was also the reason everyone looked forward to this matchup. If even Sun Han was defeated, probably nobody else could defeat Chen Feng anymore.

    Shua!

    The countdown timer flickered.

    Battle began.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Gold light shone from Sun Han¡¯s android.

    Seemingly sensing the threat posed by Chen Feng, Sun Han moved furiously, and a session of defensive genes were instantly activated. The amount of activated gene reagents here was even higher than Qin Hai.

    Shua!

    Gold light flickered.

    Sun Han¡¯s android entered its optimal defensive mode.

    At this time, Chen Feng slightly raised his hand.

    Hum...

    The air trembled.

    Shua.

    Sun Han¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    "Explode!"

    He directly activated a forbidden art.

    The android in front of him had one of its arm shattered. Around it, a red-colored energy aura appeared and formed a formidable defensive barrier.

    This was the support gene reagent of Sun Han.

    Formidable, with a myriad of variations!

    "So powerful."

    "How manyyers of defense is this?"

    "All his defense was unleashed in an instant."

    Everyone was anxious.

    Sun Han must have felt threatened for him to react in such a way. However, how scary was the sense of crisis he felt for him to unleash so manyyers of defense?

    At this time.

    "Bang!"

    Light shattered.

    This time, the viewers could clearly see it. A transparent wave had bombarded the surroundings of Sun Han¡¯s android. Due to the intense collision of energy, a huge light effect could be seen.

    Subsequently.

    "Pu!"

    A certain android was broken apart.

    The battle ended.

    "It finished?"

    Everyone raised their heads with bewilderment.

    In the ring, the victory screen had once again locked on to that familiar silhouette.

    Chen Feng¡ª

    Victory!

    "Hua!"

    Tens of millions of people were shaken.

    Chen Feng was once again victorious?

    Insta-kill?!

    This was f*cking illogical!

    Yes, yes, you can win. However, can you let us see what methods you used to win? And there¡¯s also this Sun Han. Arren¡¯t you the f*cking strongest defense? Even if you were to lose, you have to resist a second longer, right?

    Sun Han had a stupefied expression as well.

    Defeated?

    In the several tens of matches he¡¯d been in, he had encountered countless types of androids and had tasted defeats as well. However, not a single one of those defeats were as direct as his current defeat, where he couldn¡¯t even resist!

    Even after he left the ring, he was still in a stupor.

    What freak is this?!

    As of now, the battle stage had reached its end.

    It concluded with Chen Feng as the undisputed first ce holder.

    Shua!

    The rankings were refreshed.

    First ce: Chen Feng, 99 points.

    Second ce: Qin Hai, 97 points.

    Third ce: Lin Ke, 94 points.

    ...

    And now, the top 10 was birthed. The rest were all eliminated!

    Everyone had their gazes concentrated on Chen Feng.

    First ce!

    Indeed, first ce again!

    Three times in a row, when nobody was optimistic about him, he had used some inconceivable method to obtain first ce, without anyone capable of defeating him!

    "It¡¯s actually Chen Feng again."

    Everyone eximed in admiration.

    However, no one expected that at this very moment, Sun Han, who was one point away from the tenth ce and ended up eliminated due to his 11th ce position, had suddenly voiced his concerns.

    "I want to lodge a report on Chen Feng. He has vited the rules and used his gic ability in the android battle!"

    Bang!

    Everyone¡¯s heart jolted.

    Report!

    It was actually a report lodged by the 11th ce holder.

    Footnotes:

    1. It essentially means animals used forbor due to their strength, such as mules, buffalos, horses, etc.

    Chapter 139: Sun Han¡¯s Defense

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "I want to report him!

    "I¡¯m not supposed to be eliminated.

    Sun Han said, "You all might doubt my words. However, let me tell you all this one thing. Under the circumstances where all my support genes are activated, my defensive power is already at C ss!"

    Bang!

    Everyone¡¯s hearts trembled.

    C ss?!

    What concept was that!

    The android was only at E ss originally. Ordinary producers would support it until it reached the level of peak E ss, elite producers would support it until it reached the level of beginner D ss, while genius producers like Qin Hai would be able to support it until it reached the level of around intermediate or advanced D ss!

    As for C-ss?

    Impossible!

    It was akin to a gate!

    C ss¡¯s power far surpassed D ss!

    Shua!

    Sun Han released his data to prove his words.

    "So that¡¯s the case."

    Everyone suddenly came to themselves.

    No wonder Qin Hai couldn¡¯t even break Sun Han¡¯s defense. Sun Han¡¯s defensive gene reagents had reached C ss?

    Incredibly terrifying!

    But...

    What about Chen Feng?

    Everyone suddenly felt something amiss.

    Chen Feng was a person who had at most utilized five support genes. This was clear for everyone to see when he was producing those genes. A majority of them were bluebat gene reagents.

    What could he do to have an attack surpassing C ss?

    Absolutely impossible!

    What was the concept of C ss?

    10,000 points of spirit!

    "I felt it." Sun Han sneered. "The instant my android was attacked, the defenses copsed immediately due to a terrifying powernding on them. This proved that the strength of Chen Feng¡¯s attack had absolutely surpassed 10,000 units!"

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone inhaled deeply.

    If they were to think about it, wasn¡¯t that the truth?

    If they were both at C ss, between defense and attack, even if one side was somewhat stronger, it wouldn¡¯t be such a one sided insta-kill. This meant...

    Chen Feng¡¯s attack power was much higher!

    Middle tier C ss?

    20,000 units?

    What was the original power of the android?

    Spirit: 200 points

    Regardless of how one looked at it, that was something impossible!

    "Hence," Sun Han said with a clear voice, "I suspect that when his android attacked, Chen Feng had also utilized some of his gic ability, interfering with the battle between the androids!

    "I need justice!"

    He was ranked at 11th ce, only one point behind the top 10. If he were to gain that one extra point from his match with Chen Feng, he would be able to enter the top 10, even if he had to share the 10th ce with someone else.

    This was a glory that belonged to him!

    The difference between the top 10 and top 100 was as different as sky and earth. He had to fight for this.

    Moreover, if Chen Feng had really vited the rules, he would be directly eliminated! At this moment, almost everyone was focussing on this.

    Rules vition?

    As they thought of it, they felt suspicious as well.

    Cheating?

    That shouldn¡¯t be the case.

    However, using one¡¯s gic ability to interfere in the battle between androids, even if that was not considered cheating, that was still a vition of the rules, and his results should be erased.

    That was because the rules were clear¡ª

    Producing support gene reagents!

    "Investigate!

    "Investigate thoroughly!"

    Those defeated by Chen Feng jumped out one after another.

    Especially their fans.

    These people had been bragging about how impressive their production ability was previously before being insta-killed by Chen Feng, getting their face smacked to the point that it was swelling. This time, they naturally need toe out and step on Chen Feng as well.

    Thepetition was temporarily suspended.

    This was the second suspension.

    Previously... it was also due to Chen Feng!

    However, due to the previous ¡®reporting Chen Feng¡¯ incident, the absolute majority of the people maintained their rationality, waiting for the investigation results of the Gene Production Association.

    "Such evil must be erased!"

    "Youngsters nowadays, always looking for a quick way out."

    "Every time, it¡¯s this Chen Feng that¡¯s stirring up trouble."

    "Yeah, a foul atmosphere was brought into a goodpetition like this because of him."

    A lot of producers were not satisfied.

    Especially the older producers.

    Their thought process was very simple. Regardless of whether this was an usation, if Chen Feng hadn¡¯t stirred things up, who would bother reporting him?!

    Couldn¡¯t he just follow the rules?

    Somewhere, an old producer stood up. "Liu Er, help me to the Gene Production Association."

    "Teacher," the student said respectfully, "is there a need for you to go personally?"

    "Hmmph! If I don¡¯t go over, will they do anything about this?!"

    "Thepetitions nowadays are getting more and more ridiculous. That Qin Hai student has advanced with solid foundations and steady results. Furthermore, his attitude is very good as well. Even with that, he can only obtain second ce? And the one who obtained first ce is some producer who obtained victory through some tricks? Is this proper?" the old producer said furiously.

    The student felt somewhat awkward. "Oh, teacher, this is not confirmed yet."

    "Even if he won through quick thinking, does that mean it¡¯s not trickeries?"

    "Hmmph!" The old producer red at him. "Furthermore, this is Gao Yunfeng¡¯s mistake! If it wasn¡¯t for the appearance of a loophole in the rules he¡¯d set, would Chen Feng have found a chance to win through tricks?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s tricks...

    Gao Yunfeng¡¯s mistake...

    Trash technicians...

    The Gene Production Association only watching at the side...

    The old man started nagging without stop, seemingly returning to his youth.

    The student could only listen to him with a bitter smile on his face.

    You are already at such an age, why are you getting involved in all this? Honestly, stepping on Chen Feng at his moment of victory, with your identity on top of it, isn¡¯t this being too much of a bully? Even if this was for the sake of Senior Apprentice Brother Qin Hai, isn¡¯t this too biased? the student thought inwardly.

    However, he did not notice the hidden glint in the old man¡¯s eyes.

    Deep as an ocean.

    Deep and immeasurable.

    "Let¡¯s go."

    "While these old bone of mine can still move... the next round, the battle of the top 10, it must be vetted by us, the old generation of producers!"

    **

    At this time, in themand center of the virtualpany building, the sudden surge of reports had tremendously increased the workload of the employees there.

    "Has it been investigated clearly?" Gao Yunfeng said indifferently.

    The technicians nodded. "Mhm."

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s data was once again extracted, including all the forms he had used in thepetition. Only now did Gao Yunfeng know how Chen Feng obtained his victory.

    "This...It¡¯s actually like this?" Gao Yunfeng was dumbstruck.

    He had tried his best to perfect the rules together with the help of several hundred producers. However, he had not expected that Chen Feng would still find some exploit in it.

    "If this is released, I will probably be scolded to death..." Gao Yunfeng mumbled.

    The moment he saw Chen Feng¡¯s data, he was aware of what might happen to him as a result.

    This Chen Feng...

    "Is it a coincidence?"

    Gao Yunfeng smiled bitterly.

    The first time, it is coincidence. The second time, it is luck. What about the third time?

    This only highlighted Chen Feng¡¯s astonishing analytical and observation capabilities and his umtion! That¡¯s right, umtion. That peculiar umtion of Chen Feng that was totally different than that of everyone else.

    "Chen Feng..."

    This was the first time Gao Yunfeng took this producer seriously.

    Perhaps this is a talent worth nurturing after all!

    Gao Yunfeng inhaled deeply. "Announce it."

    The technician hesitated. "Everything?"

    "Everything!" Gao Yunfeng did not hesitate. "I prepared the start and the end of the round and set up the rules. For Chen Feng to obtain victory within the parameters set by my rules, this victory is rightfully his!"

    "All right."

    The technician nodded.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s data was once again released.

 Chapter 140: Too Shameless

    Chapter 140: Too Shameless

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At this time, as everyone was protesting, the Gene Production Association released their statement. All data rted to Chen Feng was normal and no vitions of the rules were found.

    At the same time, the data was made public.

    "True indeed."

    Nobody was surprised.

    Reported?

    What a joke. This wasn¡¯t the first time this had happened anyway.

    "It¡¯s better to take a look at the released data."

    Everyone started watching the rey, and they were immediately stunned.

    They had imagined countless possibilities. However, it had never crossed their mind that the way Chen Feng obtained his victory was this! The gene reagent he used...

    Was actually such a gene!

    "This..."

    "The f*ck? This works?"

    "Wait, this, how is this possible?"

    Everyone had dumbfounded expressions.

    This was because, at this moment, they had finally found out the secret behind Chen Feng¡¯s victory.

    ----

    Mutated Bluebat Gene

    ss: E

    Function: Instantly increases spirit by 500 points for a duration of 3 seconds.

    ----

    On the screen.

    At that instant, Chen Feng had directly activated approximately 20 mutated bluebat genes, bringing about a terrifying spirit enhancement effect! As per the released data, after using these specially mixed reagents, its spirit attribute had increased from 200 points to 10,000 points.

    "This..."

    Nobody had expected this to be so close to what they had initially guessed.

    The bluebat had been mutated indeed!

    Chen Feng indeed possessed such unique talent!

    However...

    Even if they were mutated, it was not possible for them to be activated at the same time, right?

    "Chen Feng must have used his gic ability."

    As Sun Han saw the data, he was even more sure of this.

    "This data is incorrect," someone stated unbelievably. "It is simply impossible for one to be able to bear such an amount of enhancements! Increasing the spirit attribute in such a high quantity would break the person down!"

    That was right. From 200 to 10,000?

    Nobody could bear such a big increase, even if it was an android!

    This wasmon sense.

    Even if the producer is Chen Feng, it should still apply.

    However...

    So what if nobody could bear with such a big increase?

    At this moment, the rey continued.

    This time, after the rey was slowed down countless times, they were finally able to see clearly: the moment the android insta-killed its opponent, its own body was slowly dissolving as well.

    In three seconds, its whole body broke down and died.

    Due to the terrifying increase in attributes, the android was simply incapable of bearing with it.

    Hence, it died.

    However, this did not seem to have any effect on thepetition, right?

    Dead?

    No problem!

    It would recover during the next match anyway. This was only a virtualpetition. As long as the android was not damaged before the match ended, it would be fine.

    The brain would be damaged?

    No problem!

    The android was controlled by Chen Feng anyway. It did not need a brain at all!

    Hence, Chen Feng had used such suicidal methods, using such a method that was unusable in real life, to aplish his terrifying acts of insta-killing!

    No one was able to contend with him.

    "..."

    Everyone sunk into silence.

    They had imagined countless possibilities. However, this had never crossed their minds!

    Superposition, followed by death!

    If Chen Feng were to do this in real life, before he could even do anything, he would burn himself to death. However, in the virtual world, he seeded.

    Mutation!

    Enhancement!

    Simple as that.

    The f*ck?

    Everyone was in stupor for a long time. Were they the one who was wrong, or was Chen Feng¡¯s line of thought too erratic?

    "Even with this, it shouldn¡¯t be right." Sun Han opened his mouth once again. "The android possessed the most basic of attacks, Spirit Shock. Even if Chen Feng¡¯s android reach 10,000 points, it is still impossible to destroy my defense in an instant!"

    "You need to know that my defense was instantly destroyed!"

    At this time, everyone came to themselves.

    True.

    Sun Han¡¯s android was insta-killed. This meant Chen Feng¡¯s attack far surpassed its defense!

    What was the reason for this, then?

    "Look at this fast."

    The rey was slowed down once again.

    This time, everyone could clearly see that, between the activations of his 20 bluebat gene reagents, Chen Feng had also used a specific item¡ªaurora gene reagent!

    Virus blossomed.

    Genes ignited.

    Another suicidal gene reagent!

    When the android entered Virus Mode, its initially ordinary Spirit Shock disyed an unimaginably terrifying power, instantly killing Sun Han¡¯s android!

    Indeed.

    One would be very miserable after using the aurora reagent.

    Furthermore, if one were somewhat unlucky, one¡¯s main genes might be the ones ignited right off the bat after using the aurora reagent, causing one¡¯s own death. However...

    Chen Feng had won.

    "Gene... virus?"

    Everyone stared at the gene introduction in a daze.

    Another suicidal gene reagent?

    A reagent whose nature was simr to a gamble on top of that?

    Hence...

    This was how Chen Feng had insta-killed everyone here, obtaining the final victory?!

    If it was in real life, regardless of whether it was that terrifying spirit enhancement or gene virus, Chen Feng would have yed himself to death before he even made his move. It was simply impossible to defeat a real life opponent using such a method.

    However¡ª

    This was only apetition!

    This was only virtualbat!

    "Why did it have to be this way?"

    Sun Han had a bewildered expression.

    The data had been released; Chen Feng had not cheated.

    However, the truth was even harder for him to ept. He had actually been defeated by such a method that was unusable in real life. Furthermore, luck yed a big factor in the final eruption of that gene virus! If he was somewhat luckier at that time, Chen Feng would have been the one ying himself to death, and he would be the one entering the top 10?

    This...

    "I am not satisfied!" Sun Han howled.

    Top 10.

    His dream of entering the top 10 had ended just like that.

    Naturally, the pitiful Sun Han did not know that the reason for Chen Feng to dare to use the aurora reagent was due to his absolute confidence in it!

    Luck?

    This was simply a nonexistent concern for him!

    At this time, after the data was fully released, the fourth round officially ended. Chen Feng¡¯s name once again engulfed the whole world at a terrifying speed.

    "The birth of the top 10! Chen Feng standing in first ce again!"

    "Inconceivable victory, do you approve of such methods?"

    "The ghost talent[1] Chen Feng, will he be able to walk to the end with his wits?"

    "Victory obtained through a crazy gamble, is a gene virus a usable gene?!"

    Various media outlets released their news.

    Chen Feng was once again at the forefront of this big wave.

    Such suicidal attacking methods attracted countless criticisms. The virtual scenario was originally generated as a simtion of the real world. However, it was actually defeated using such a method.

    Too many people were unsatisfied with this!

    This did not only apply to those producers in the top 100 that were eliminated. Even the survivors in the top 10 felt the same.

    "I was defeated by such a method?"

    Qin Hai smiled bitterly after he looked at the data.

    This was truly...

    Too absurb!

    "I was insta-killed by this kind of person?"

    A cold glint flickered in Lin Ke¡¯s eyes.

    He suffered several defeats in that round. However, only his defeat against Chen Feng had happened in such a ridiculous manner. However, he had never expected that it was actually such a method that was simply akin to cheating!

    Too hateful!

    They could not ept their defeats!

    "If..."

    "If it was the real world..."

    Everyone had a fire of fury burning in their hearts.

    They could not ept this!

    The top 10 was in itself a supreme glory to those in it!

    But now...

    Due to Chen Feng¡¯s existence, the nature of the top 10 was somewhat altered. This group of people that should have beenprised of the strongest producers had someone bizarre like Chen Feng in it!

    How was he qualified to enter the top 10? This was what a lot of people wanted to ask.

    Production level?

    Only beginner.

    umtion?

    His was simply nonexistent.

    Every single time he obtained victory, he relied on newly acquired forms before proceeding to look for a loophole in the rules to use some tricks to obtain victory. How could they ept this?

    In all honestly, Chen Feng¡¯s aplishments were uneptable to at least half of them. It was fine if it were to happen in the beginning of thepetition. However, now that it was the top 10?

    A lot of people couldn¡¯t put up with this anymore.

    Chapter 141: The Analyzed Chen Feng

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Chen Feng..."

    A fire of fury was burning in everyone¡¯s hearts.

    This was especially true for those in the top 10!

    Stepped on by Chen Feng¡¯s feet...

    Having the dignity of the top 10 questioned by the masses...

    Criticized by the news outlets saying that the current year¡¯s batch of participants wouldn¡¯t do...

    Those titles saying that, since even with the nine of them, they still couldn¡¯t even oppose a single Chen Feng, thus letting him obtain the first ce, they were probably not that powerful after all. What celebrity producers, they were all jokes, etc.

    What?

    Chen Feng¡¯s first ce was not due to his strength, instead, it was due to the others being weak?

    What? Since you are all saying how useless we and Chen Feng are, shouldn¡¯t you all first consider how useless the idols you supported are? What textbook level, you are all probably overdosed with textbooks, turning into some stupid bookworms!

    Every time a criticism of Chen Feng arose, the nine of them would be implicated.

    Every time Chen Feng received any sort of recognition, the nine of them would still be dragged over to be criticized.

    ...

    No matter what happened, the nine of them were taking the me for Chen Feng.

    At a certain ice cream shop.

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah¡ªthis youngdy here is infuriated to death." Yun Xiaoduo was bursting with rage. "Look at this, when they were scolding Chen Feng, they actually dragged me in. Ah ah ah ah ah, what does this have anything to do with me?!

    "Look at this, that bastard called Song Dazui.

    "What is his meaning in saying that this is the worst batch of the Gene Rookie Competition he has ever seen? Asshole, didn¡¯t he say the same thingst year as well? There¡¯s also that guy...

    "And this guy..."

    Yun Xiaoduo showed them all to the little donkey.

    The little donkey kept its huge eyes opened wide with an innocent expression on its face.

    "What are you looking at!

    "You are not allowed to eat!

    "You are only allowed to eat when you win. In the next round, I must show Chen Feng. Hmph hmph. I can¡¯t let this troublemaker¡ª" Yun Xiaoduo was panting with rage before seemingly feeling that these words of hers were somewhat incorrect and promptly correcting herself, "I can¡¯t let Chen Feng, this piece of rat poop, spoil the pan of dish."

    In the shop, a huge shaggy ball was devouring ice cream crazily.

    "Ao¡ª"

    The little donkey felt wronged.

    Fine, it would just ept the fact that it was not allowed to eat. But to force it to watch on as others ate? This was too excessive!

    "Ao ao¡ª"

    The little donkey was angry.

    This was all because of that damnable Chen Feng. This time, it had to properly take care of that guy!

    At the same time, Qin Hai, Lin Ke...

    Everyone¡¯s anger was welling up inside of them.

    In the next round, the fifth round, they had to teach Chen Feng a lesson!

    They were the current top 10, the true geniuses. They had to prove their potential and umtion, and they absolutely would not give Chen Feng any chances to win using his tricks.

    Furthermore, some had even started contacting the other top 10 participants, hoping that the nine of them could group up against Chen Feng!

    Defeating Chen Feng became their foremost goal!

    At this time, on the learning forum, due to Chen Feng¡¯s unusual method of obtaining victory, countless criticism arose in the forum. Some supported him, while others were against him. Due to this, the arguments in the learning forum were intense as well. However, the poprity of these discussions dropped greatly, because at this moment, a thread appeared and attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    The thread was still centered on Chen Feng.

    ¡®The main reason for Chen Feng¡¯s continuous victories and the simplest method of preventing this.¡¯

    Shua!

    The thread attracted countless readers the moment it appeared.

    That was due to the thread starter being a somewhat well-known producer. Regardless of his identity or his status, it was not something an ordinary person could bepared to.

    The title of this thread was also concise andprehensive.

    In the thread, the main points of Chen Feng¡¯s previous rounds were analyzed in detail with a guess that Chen Feng most probably possessed a certain powerful gic ability that would help him produce mutated genes after making certain sacrifices. An evaluation was also included: If such an ability existed, it was most probably an A ss or higher gene!

    This was one of the points in the thread.

    This was the reason Chen Feng had sessfully produced mutated genes time and time again. Reasonable and fair.

    Next, the thread started highlighting the second reason for Chen Feng¡¯s victories.

    The others participants were restricted!

    Due to this being apetition, the participants were restricted by the rules of thepetition.

    And due to these rules, the strength of the others was greatly restricted within the confines of the rules. For example, they were restricted to produce only the strongest defense... the strongest support... the strongest heal...in the respective rounds.

    As for Chen Feng?

    Due to his essentially zero umtion, the restrictions on him were simply nonexistent.

    This was the second reason.

    There was a third reason.

    It was that creative and peculiar way in which Chen Feng thought.

    Despite countless producers being dissatisfied due to the first two points, for this third point, an extremely high evaluation was given to Chen Feng. Chen Feng was an extremely quick-witted producer!

    Hence, with thebination of these three factors, Chen Feng was able to obtain continuous victories.

    Apart from this, within the thread was also the method of preventing Chen Feng from continuing his victories: form.

    Chen Feng had won continuously?

    However, had anyone noticed that in every single victory of his, it was based on the new form he¡¯d obtained from the gene bank? That was due to him not having any umtion at all!

    He did not have any previously known forms to use!

    Hence, this was the only method he could employ!

    The essential factor ensuring every single victory of his was the form he had chosen.

    Hence...

    If thepetition stopped supplying forms?

    Based on the examples of thepetitions from previous years, when thepetition entered the final round, it was very probable for forms to stop being supplied. At this time, how would Chen Feng disy his strength?

    Finally, a huge amount of data was attached to the thread.

    "Hua¡ª"

    After the thread was released, a huge uproar was caused.

    So this was the case!

    A huge amount of confused people finally realized it.

    When everyone was busy fighting, this producer had used the simplest method to calm the whole learning forum down and get them to start approaching it from a research and academic point of view.

    Hence...

    ¡®Do you think that Chen Feng will be the final first-ce winner?¡¯

    Some posted a poll.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng was the undisputed tenth ce in the poll!

    Total voter amount: 12,841

    Tenth ce votes: 11,921

    In this world, the scariest thing was the unknown. When Chen Feng was fully analyzed, he lost that tint of mysteriousness on him.

    At this time.

    In the hotel.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart was greatly rmed as well after reading this thread.

    Too urate!

    Apart from his Luck Aura being misunderstood as some gic ability, the other points were totally urate.

    "I indeed can¡¯t underestimate these seniors."

    Chen Feng was shocked.

    Tenth ce, eh...

    Chen Feng sighed.

    In all honesty, he had initially believed that he would obtain the final victory. However, after the series of first ces he obtained all the way until he was now in the top 10, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

    I¡¯m afraid, my advance will stop here.

    The top 10 was too strong!

    Qin Hai...

    Yun Xiaoduo...

    Chen Feng was clear on his level of strength.

    If he were to have an all-out confrontation with them, he was simply not their opponent. One could also say that this was simply apetition between those in different leagues!

    How would the battle between the top 10 proceed?

    He was not sure.

    However, Chen Feng guessed that there would no longer be any restrictions.

    Instead, it would be a true all-out confrontation!

    At this time, what could he use to obtain victory?

    Just as this thread had said, without a supply of form, what could he do? Using the pitiful amount of forms he knew to face the others who knew several tens or even several hundreds of forms?!

    That was simply a dead end.

    However, should he give up just like this?

    He was not reconciled to just giving up.

    He had reached here with great difficulty only to give up just like this?!

    How could he be willing to?

    Perhaps...

    It wouldn¡¯t be that bad?

    Chen Feng looked at the luck values he had. Despite the high amount of luck value exhausted in each round, due to the three days break in between and the luck value he¡¯d saved up previously, he still had 300 points of luck value currently.

    These... might be his only hope.

    "I am now already a peak beginner producer."

    Chen Feng analyzed his strength.

    Initially, he was already on the brink of reaching peak beginner producer. After the productions and thepetition he¡¯d gone through, he had finally reached peak beginner producer.

    Despite the fact that his star rating remained at 20 stars.

    His efforts during this period of time were not wasted. Despite the fact that luck values were still required forpletion of E-ss forms, he could now sessfully produce F-ss forms without relying on luck values regardless of the star or the difficulty level!

    Now, he was in a mode other would call ¡®intermediate producer mode.¡¯

    "I have improved greatly."

    Chen Feng was still quite satisfied with this.

    Every single round he went through also brought progress and improvement to him!

    At the same time, when he was battling it out and crossing swords with others, his foundations were improving greatly, reaching his current level!

    However, for the final confrontation?

    All this was still insufficient!

    "First ce..." Chen Feng muttered. Did he really have zero chance?

    At the learning forum, Chen Feng entered the same thread that analyzed him and started reading through it. In the span of several hours, there were already over ten thousand replies. Evidently, a lot of people were taking this thread seriously.

    Chen Feng silently went through the replies.

    "Haha, this time, there¡¯s no ce for Chen Feng to hide."

    "Interesting, so it was due to a powerful gic ability..."

    "Anyone have any idea what ability that is?"

    "No idea. However, we only need to roughly guess the way it works. With the data here as the proof, I¡¯m afraid that, in the top 10, Chen Feng will not be able to win through quick thinking alone, right?"

    "Haha, true."

    Everyone discussed spiritedly.

    "In the end, it¡¯s still due to him not having sufficient umtion..." somemented.

    True.

    umtion!

    What made Chen Feng feel so helpless was this exact thing called umtion.

    What could he do about it if he was too young?

    "Yeah yeah yeah!"

    "Chen Feng is still too young, after all. Perhaps, after two years, he will be able to be the new champion."

    "I agree with this point."

    "In all honestly, I don¡¯t think Chen Feng is quite that bad in other aspects. umtion includes numerous aspects. However, Chen Feng is somewhatcking in the amount of mastered forms."

    "Above poster +1."

    Everyone engaged in enthusiastic discussion.

    Chen Feng agreed with their analysis. The learning forum was stillparatively objective when it came to knowledge-rted problems. They had also managed to find out the aspect of umtion which Chen Fengcked¡ª

    Forms!

    However, what could he do about that?

    Which mastered form wasn¡¯t something that was only mastered after a producer painstakingly trained for a long time?

    Wait?

    Chen Feng abruptly realized something.

    Form?

    Trained for a long time?

    Before mastering?

    Bang!

    Akin to someone who obtained enlightenment, in an instant, Chen Feng became clearheaded and his eyes shone brightly as he became iparably excited.

    What a joke!

    He had always been mocking others for following the wrong train of thought, but wasn¡¯t he doing the same thing?

    The others required a very long time to master a form. However, that was not the case for Chen Feng. Due to the existence of Luck Aura, he only needed to study the form to know the contents of it and that would be sufficient!

    As long as he obtained a form, it would immediately be a part of his umtion.

    There was simply no need for him to train himself and obtain mastery in the form. He only needed to study the contents of the form and Luck Aura would enable him to produce them.

    As for studying...

    Difficult?!

    Nowadays, due to the high amount of 4-star and 5-star E-ss forms that he had learnt, in regards to the form and materials, he had a better grasp on them. As such, his speed was much higher when studying as well!

    Getting familiarized with a form?

    It wouldn¡¯t take him long at all!

    Then...

    What if he were to study a huge amount of forms?

    Chen Feng licked his dry lips, a fire burning in his heart.

    Formidable umtion?

    A battle of mastered forms?!

    I shall push you all to death!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Chen Feng entered the business district of the virtualmunity and started sweeping through it. His asional mutated gold ant gene production had given him a great amount of riches, so he had quite an amount of cash on hand.

    F-ss form?

    Sweep!

    Even if it was only a 1-star form!

    Every form he could see in the business district, as long as it seemed somewhat useful, Chen Feng would buy.

    Not enough cash?

    He would produce a mutated gold ant gene reagent.

    Chen Feng started his furious purchasing n.

    In three days, Chen Feng bought and study forms without stop.

    F-ss forms would not waste too much of Chen Feng¡¯s time, as he could almost instantly finish studying them. Only those E-ss forms with somewhat higher star ratings would slow him down. However, these forms wouldn¡¯t slow him down by much as well. That was because, as his umtion of knowledge regarding forms increased, the speed in which he familiarized himself with new form increased as well.

    It reached a point where, in some of the forms, around half the contents within were some knowledge that he already knew about.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Chen Feng studied at a frantic pace.

    During the final confrontation, he would show the other producers what real umtion looked like.

    **

    In themand center of the virtualpany building, Gao Yunfeng and the rest were undergoing tests on the rules for the final confrontation. However, no one expected that an old producer that was supported by a student of his would appear in thismand center.

    Gao Yunfeng was shocked. "Why has your respected self came here?"

    Why had this old mane?

    Wen Jiang, an ex-conference elder of the Gene Production Association headquarters. Possessing terrifying influence and students all over the world. A senior like this, why had hee to this ce?

    "Taking a look here."

    Wen Jiang merely watched on indifferently.

    Gao Yunfeng felt somewhat awkward. With this old man here staring at them, how were they supposed to carry on with their tests?

    "Old Wen." A brightughter traveled forth from a distant ce as the old man that had always been at Gao Yunfeng¡¯s side during thepetition appeared and, with a smile on his face, said, "What are you doing here?"

    Wen Jiang was somewhat surprised. "Old Hou, why are you here?"

    Hou Liang.

    Simrly, he was also a conference elder of the Gene Production Association headquarters. The only difference being that Wen Jiang had retired from that position while Hou Liang still held the position.

    Hou Liang smiled. "If even you cane, why can¡¯t Ie?"

    Wen Jiang looked at the wrinkles on Hou Liang¡¯s face and said deeply, "You have gotten old as well."

    Yes, they had gotten old.

    Back in the days, these two were proud sons of the heavens. Now, they had entered their old age.

    The monkey who overturned the heavens and seas and almost pierced through the skies back then[1] was now calmly overseeing thepetition and was actually content with that.

    Hou Liangughed involuntarily. "I know, right."

    "Since you are here, the reason I came this time..." Wen Jiang did not waste time saying any nonsense.

    "Don¡¯t worry." Hou Liang pulled Wen Jiang. "Don¡¯t worry, since I am here, I won¡¯t allow any problems to happen to that matter. This year¡¯s Gene Rookie Competition, we will definitely choose the strongest producer from it."

    "That¡¯s good, then."

    Only with this did Wen Jiang feel relieved.

    With Hou Liang here, there wouldn¡¯t be any problems with the rules of thepetition.

    "I still need to say the same thing." Wen Jiang had a solemn expression. "Only a producer capable of staying alive is the strongest producer! In the real world, who would give you a perfect environment to conduct your tests? We are not someboratory bookworms or some lucky spectors. What we need is a genuine producer!"

    Wen Jiang said word by word, "The genuine strongest producer!"

    "Understood."

    Gao Yunfeng had a respectful expression.

    This was also what influenced the rules he¡¯d set for thispetition.

    He suddenly realized that this year¡¯s Gene Rookie Competition might not be as simple as it appeared to be! Regardless of the fact that he was dispatched here to set up the rules or the fact that senior Hou Liang was here to oversee thepetition proved that! However, no matter what, he only needed to do what he was supposed to do. That would be sufficient.

    "That¡¯s good, then." Wen Jiang looked at him deeply before turning around to leave.

    Hou Liang escorted them out.

    "Old Hou... you must keep the ship afloat," Wen Jiang said in a low voice. "I¡¯m afraid some dirty things are going to surface soon."

    "Understood." Hou Liang¡¯s eyes shone brightly.

    This was also the reason for him being here.

    "That child, Qin Hai, is the best choice for us." Wen Jiang couldn¡¯t resist but to say, "I can even specially nurture him."

    "Don¡¯t worry." Hou Liangughed as he said, "In the fifth round, it is an all-out confrontation. Are you satisfied with this?"

    "All out confrontation?!"

    Wen Jiang¡¯s eyes shed. If this was the case, Qin Hai could definitely showcase his full power.

    "Hence, we will definitely be able to choose the strongest producer from this round!" Hou Liang smiled as he said.

    "Understood."

    Satisfied, Wen Jiang left, not noticing the toying smile on Hou Liang¡¯s face.

    They would definitely choose the strongest producer out of this. However, as for whether Qin Hai would be the one who qualified for it, that was not something they could decide. Instead, it would be decided by the results of thepetition!

    After all...

    There was still another child who was rather interesting in it.

    "Final confrontation, eh?"

    A smile appeared on Hou Liang¡¯s face. Would it be the child that he guessed?

    He looked forward to it.

    Somewhere amidst the boundless ocean was an endless expanse of interweaving ciers and sea surface.

    This was the Ice Sea.

    A ce that would still be enveloped by endless chill regardless of how intense the sun shone.

    Suddenly, the seawater started boiling.

    It began from a small chunk of seawater and slowly spread around, reaching a radius of over several tens of kilometers. The bone-piercing ice-cold seawater had, at this instant, started boiling.

    "Gu du!"

    "Gu du!"

    A terrifying ck aura starteding out of the sea.

    After a long time, those clumps of ck aura condensed in midair, akin to a fiend that had crawled out of an abyss, possessing an immense body which greatly resembled the dragon of legend! It was only formed of ck aura, though.

    A high pitched shout travelled forth from that clump of darkness. "Hahahahaha. I am back.

    "How many years has it been... I, your father, am finally back!

    "Gic Union, and that Gene Production Association, all of you damnable worms, do you believe that you are actually capable of forever trapping me, your father, in this ce? Haha. How ridiculous!"

    The clump of darkness¡¯s resentment-filled voice echoed.

    He had returned.

    Despite the amount of sacrifice he had paid to return.

    However, it was worth it.

    He believed that as long as he was able to once again form his physical body, he would be able to once again conquer the world, making the whole world kneel before him!

    "The era of me, your father, is here!"

    The clump of darkness bared his fangs and brandished his ws.

    A gust of ck gas scattered and enveloped over half of the cier there.

    This was his strength!

    Despite his current weakened state, it was still iparable.

    However, right at this moment, a gust of terrifying power abruptly descended. The recently awakened clump of darkness couldn¡¯t even react to it before he was pierced through by a huge burning sword that descended from the skies.

    "Bang!"

    The huge burning sword descended. It pierced the clump of darkness, akin to a nail, and smashed the clump of darkness into the cier.

    "Ah¡ª" the clump of darkness screamed mournfully as it struggled frantically. However, that terrifying ck gas of his was no longer capable of disying its previous prowess. His power had been sealed.

    "Who?!

    "Who dares to act against me?" the clump of darkness bellowed.

    "Bang!"

    Up in the air, from above the cloud, a silhouette jumped down.

    It was Wang Yao!

    "Who are you? How did you find out that this lord here would appear at this location?" the clump of darkness said with a high-pitched voice.

    He had managed to avoid the detection of the Gentic Union and Gene Production Association. However, he had never expected that there would be someone here waiting for him. On top of that, the person waiting for him was actually a little girl!

    "Ah."

    Wang Yao had a cold expression.

    Bang!

    Once again, she pushed her huge sword down.

    "You can¡¯t kill me. I have an unkible body!" the clump of darkness bellowed.

    At this time, in Wang Yao¡¯s hand, a mysterious blood essence gleaming with a bizarre blue radiance appeared. Quietly, itnded on that clump of darkness¡¯s body at the spot that had been pierced through by the huge sword earlier.

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying power blossomed.

    "Ah!"

    A mournful scream.

    "Seadragon blood essence. How can you have this thing?! The seadragons have been extinct for so many years, ah ah ah ah ah ah..." The clump of darkness looked at his copsing body with a terrified expression.

    "I am the future ruler of this whole world!

    "How is it possible for me to die here?!

    "I have an unkible body..."

    The terrified voice echoed around the area.

    "Ci¡ª"

    Apanied by the final crisp sound, the ck aura vanished, and not a shred remained.

    The seadragon blood essence that had fully exhausted its remaining speck of energy dropped into the sea. At this, the several tens of kilometers of seawater that was boiling finally calmed down, with ciers everywhere, just like how it used to be.

    Wang Yao raised her head.

    That delicate tiny face appeared exceptionally beautiful under the sunshine.

    "Next."

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    Her silhouette disappeared amidst the clouds.

    The boundless sea regained its former tranquility, as if nothing had ever happened there.

    **

    Three days passed quietly.

    The conflict between Chen Feng and the other top 10 participants was getting ever more critical.

    In these three days, everyone was rubbing their fists in anticipation, preparing for the final confrontation. This confrontation of the top 10 would certainly be the most interesting part of thispetition.

    At 9:50 AM, in the virtual livestream rooms. The round had yet to start, but all the livestream rooms were bursting with viewers.

    Chen Feng and the rest entered the building.

    Due to there being only 10 of them, they all entered the same custom-made arena prepared by the Gene Production Association for them. This was also the first time Chen Feng saw Qin Hai and the rest in the flesh.

    "Chen Feng!"

    Their gazes met, and the air sparkled.

    "Ah."

    Chen Feng smiled calmly and ignored them. Instead, he looked around him. In this arena, all the virtual equipment wasrger and more luxurious than it had previously been!

    This final battle would definitely be extraordinary.

    "Chen Feng!"

    The rest of the top 10 participants were seething with rage. They had not expected that Chen Feng would directly ignore them! He was simply insulting them!

    Lin Ke was seething with killing intent. "I will let you know."

    He had always treated his defeat at Chen Feng¡¯s hand as a humiliation.

    "I will defeat you," Qin Hai said seriously.

    "Hmph!" Yun Xiaoduo snorted loftily.

    The rest all focused their gaze on Chen Feng, their whole bodies bubbling with battle intent.

    "I will be waiting for everyone, then," Chen Feng calmly said.

    "Ding¡ª"

    "All participants, please get to your stations," the ice-cold voice prompted.

    They sneered before getting to their respective stations.

    The round was about to begin.

    At ten sharp.

    Shua!

    All the livestream rooms brightened up at almost the same time. An azure-colored radiance shone dazzlingly. On the countless luxurious virtual equipment around them, the red indication light flickered without stop.

    The final confrontation between the top 10 had finally begun!

    "Ding!"

    "The fifth round begins!"

    "All the participants must have a final confrontation against the other nine participants. The winner will obtain one point. The defeated will obtain zero points!"

    "The final ranking will be allocated based on the scores."

    "The rules for the final round are as follows: two participants will face each other in a simted environment. Unlimited materials will be provided. You can produce any genes you are capable of producing to kill your opponent!"

    "The final survivor will be victorious!"

    "Round duration: 10 hours."

    "Hua¡ª"

    The moment this was released, everyone was shaken.

    All-out confrontation!

    This was actually chosen as the method for this year¡¯s final confrontation!

    Apart from the single request of the rules that one must use gene reagents to defeat one¡¯s opponents, this round seemed to not have any other limitations!

    In other words¡ª

    Everyone in the top 10 could fully disy all their firepower!

    "We have finally reached the most interesting phase."

    "I¡¯m afraid Chen Feng is going to be finished here."

    "Which of the producers here is without over a hundred forms mastered?"

    Everyone was shaken.

    No forms to choose from.

    No limitations on the type of forms one could use.

    Even the victory conditions were so simple¡ªto survive equated to victory.

    What could Chen Feng rely on to obtain victory?

    Loopholes in the rules.

    Now, there were no rules. Where could you find a loophole?

    Chen Feng was extremely good at gene production. This was publicly acknowledged.

    However, as for his other aspects?

    Almost zero umtion!

    In the eyes of the masses, the strongest producer had to be a person whose production, personal umtion, and everything else were strong. Those who overemphasized on a single aspect were not qualified to be called the strongest.

    Chen Feng?

    Evidently, he was unqualified!

    "Camping for Chen Feng¡¯s zero points."

    "This is the real Gene Rookie Competition."

    "Thepetition is finally normal again."

    Countless people expressed their praises of the current round¡¯s rules.

    At this time.

    "This moment has finally arrived."

    Qin Hai and the rest were rubbing their fists eagerly.

    Unlimited materials!

    No limitations!

    They could disy their strongest abilities without fear.

    Winning through tricks?

    Loopholes in the rules?

    Before their powerful umtion, all that was but a joke!

    This was a battle between gene producers! This time, they had to teach Chen Feng what a real gene producer was!

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    First match began.

    Chen Feng¡¯s first matchup was against Lin Ke!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "It¡¯s actually them?"

    Everyone¡¯s hearts leaped.

    Chen Feng¡¯s first opponent was actually Lin Ke!

    "666666."

    "Lin Ke¡¯s grudge against Chen Feng is so high it soars to the skies."

    "Seems like we¡¯ve got a good show ahead of us."

    "I feel like Chen Feng is going to be very miserable this match."

    Countless people discussed in excitement.

    To be frank, this round was in actuality a test simting the scenarios that might happen in the wilderness. In the wilderness, what would be the deciding factor for a gene producer¡¯s survival and production capability? Gene reagents!

    This was also what Chen Fengcked the most.

    "Chen Feng?"

    Somewhat surprised, Lin Ke looked at his opponent as his lips curled up, forming a cruel smile.

    Encountering Chen Feng in the first match? What a nice surprise!

    "I have waited way too long for you." Lin Ke sneered. Ever since he had been insta-killed by Chen Feng, he had been holding his rage in. He had not expected himself to be so lucky now.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Light swirled.

    "Random environment allocation."

    "Allocationplete¡ªShan Hai Lu Woods."

    Shua!

    Simted environment generated.

    Green-colored code flickered without stop before finally forming the environment.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Countless people inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    This was a simtion of an actual environment?

    In order to guarantee the fairness and genuineness of this round, the equipments used during this round had actually perfectly simted the Shan Hai Lu Woods that existed in the real world!

    Here, it was exactly the same as the Shan Hai Lu Woods in real world.

    Even the wind force here was exactly the same as it was in the real world.

    This was the so-called simted environment. It could be treated like the real world.

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    Chen Feng and Lin Ke descended into the simted environment.

    The match began.

    There was no period of pause. However, due to the both of them descending onto a somewhat remote corner of the environment, ample time was given for them to produce their genes.

    "It¡¯s here."

    Chen Feng¡¯s had a solemn mood.

    Shan Hai Lu Woods was a ce he had heard about before. Due to its beautiful environment, where countless production materials grew, this was a ce that was even treated as a holynd by some.

    Chen Feng looked forth. As far as his eyes could see, just from the area ten meters in front of him alone, over 100 types of production materials could be seen. The mutated beasts that were originally active there in the real world version of this ce had been directly turned into drops of blood essence here. This was apetition of gene production. Hence, the work that was supposed to be done by gic warriors was simplified. They could directly take whatever blood essence they required.

    "Must I use the methods of a gene producer here?" Chen Feng pondered.

    He had sufficiently mended the weakness he had in regards to the amount of forms he knew. Despite those forms being something he had just learned, he could still produce them sessfully with Luck Aura¡¯s assistance. Hence, from a certain perspective, Chen Feng now possessed sufficient umtion to contend with them.

    However, Lin Ke... this was a troublesome guy.

    Despite the fact that he had insta-killed Lin Ke before, Chen Feng still remembered that blue-colored armor on his android, the armor capable of providing a huge enhancement in one¡¯s power!

    This guy was definitely a formidable opponent.

    "He is most probably producing that mechanical gene reagent."

    Chen Feng guessed.

    If he wanted to defeat Lin Ke, using only a gene reagent or two was simply unreliable. The eruption of a huge amount of attack enhancement gene reagents was required in order for there to be any possibility of him defeating Lin Ke.

    For example¡ª

    The linked version of the mutated thundersnake gene.

    The linked gene capable of destroying almost half of the Wang family.

    "Should I use it?"

    Chen Feng checked his luck value.

    Nope!

    He only had over 300 points of luck values remaining. If he were to use that linked gene, at least 200 points would be required. Even if he won, he would not be able to do anything during the subsequent matches.

    "I must use the lowest possible amount of luck values to obtain victory!"

    Chen Feng was clear on what his goal was.

    Then¡ª

    Let¡¯s start with the basics.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng gathered the basic materials and started gene production.

    It was also impossible for him to use the aquarhino gene reagent here. With that terrifying material requirement, even if he were able to gather them up, it would be too time consuming. This round was not only about the strength of their productions, it also tested their time management!

    If one were toplete one¡¯s production before one¡¯s opponent?

    If at this time, one found the opponent?

    Insta-kill!

    In this round, without a gene reagent, one was simply naked, without any ability to resist!

    Chen Feng¡¯s goal was very simple. To produce the mutated thundersnake gene.

    With the assistance of his luck value and his proficiency with this gene, he could absolutely produce this gene rapidly. Next, he could look for a chance to get rid of Lin Ke directly.

    This was his chance.

    Shua!

    Material gatheringpleted.

    Chen Feng speedily produced a mutated thundersnake reagent.

    "Time to look for Lin Ke!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes flickered.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Wind de quietly fused with his body. He was nning to scout Lin Ke¡¯s position. However, unexpectedly, just as he activated his gic ability, it was directly blocked.

    Warning: Gic abilities can only be used for gene production!

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Indeed.

    Gic abilities had beenpletely prohibited?

    However, as he thought of it, that was to be expected. If gic abilities were allowed during a battle between producers, the nature of the futurepetitions would probably degrade.

    This was apetition between gene producers!

    However...

    Just because it was prohibited, did that mean he wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything?

    Chen Feng sneered.

    Shua!

    He speedily gathered some materials.

    This time, he was nning to produce an ordinary 3-star F-ss gene reagent. With Chen Feng¡¯s current level, without even using his luck values, he was capable ofpleting a gene reagent at this level.

    Soundbat gene reagent, instant enhancement in one¡¯s hearing ability, detecting the enemy¡¯s position.

    "Found him!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were sharp as lighting.

    Depart!

    Chen Feng hastily pressed toward Lin Ke¡¯s position.

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    Shan Hai Lu Woods was not a small area. However, since Chen Feng was pressing forth in a straight line, the distance between them were greatly shortened. In a short five minutes, Chen Feng reached the vicinity of Lin Ke¡¯s position.

    In the livestream room.

    Everyone watched this scene in a daze.

    Too savage!

    They had initially believed that both of these producers would be producing gene reagents without stop and would unleash their gene reagents to battle it out at the final moments.

    They had never expected Chen Feng to be so fast and nimble.

    Produce!

    Scout!

    Attack!

    Instantaneous execution.

    Chen Feng disyed a battle experience far surpassing what an ordinary producer possessed.

    They looked at other livestream rooms and found that almost all the other producers were hidden somewhere and silently preparing their gene reagents. The way in which they battled was very simple. Simr to that round with the androids, they would first prepare all their gene reagents before erupting with their respective trump cards to grasp the final victory!

    The only exception being Chen Feng.

    Whoosh!

    Chen Feng moved through the woods, akin to a fierce beast.

    He had only produced a single attack gene reagent before starting his hunt. The scariest fact was that if Chen Feng managed to pull his sneak attack off...

    It was probable that he would win!

    "Damn, there¡¯s such a method?"

    "Such a terrifying awareness..."

    Everyone was shocked.

    This was the first time they had found Chen Feng stunning.

    In the livestream room, a lightly armed Chen Feng could be seen traveling through the Shan Hai Lu Woods, moving speedily like a flurry.

    On the other hand.

    The viewers entered Lin Ke¡¯s livestream room.

    They found that Lin Ke was putting great effort into gene production. His production level was in actuality much higher than Chen Feng¡¯s. With his high production speed, he was constantly enhancing his power.

    "Damn, Lin Ke, run fast!"

    "Chen Feng is near, the f*ck are you doing still producing genes there?"

    "Lin Ke, the is getting destroyed. Go out and take a look."

    The chat was spammed furiously.

    However, from the start till the end, Lin Ke did not detect any exceptions.

    At this very moment, the viewers did not even need to go to Chen Feng¡¯s room, they could see from Lin Ke¡¯s virtual livestream room that at a certain corner, a cold glint could be seen.

    Chen Feng had arrived!

    "Damn!"

    "Is Lin Ke¡¯s brain damaged?"

    "Run fast!"

    The chat was spammed furiously.

    The viewers were hoping that Lin Ke would escape quickly. However, currently, Lin Ke was simply unaware of what was happening and was still engrossed in gene production.

    Assassination?

    Surprise attack?

    How was that possible?

    This was the Gene Rookie Competition!

    This was a battle between two gene producers.

    Based on how things usually went in the previouspetitions, a majority of the participants would prepare their gene reagents during the day, all the way until the final battle stage where they battled it out with each other! As the countdown for the battle began, the simted environment would start releasing corrosive energy to limit the radius of the simted environment where the producers could move in.

    As the radius of the simted environment where the participants could move in was reduced, both producers would definitely encounter each other.

    And finally¡ªthe final battle would erupt.

    At that time, they would bepeting in the strength of their gene reagents.

    Facing each other in a small space, the better one would be victorious!

    "Ten."

    Lin Ke was filled with anticipation.

    The set of genes that he had designed was going to bepleted soon.

    At that time, with the activation of the energy armor coupled with the energy contained in the other gene reagents he had prepared, he would be able to, at a certain degree, maintain the activation of the mechanical armor on his body.

    This was a super body transformation technique!

    Greatly increasing hisbat power!

    Chen Feng?

    Hehehe.

    "Just you wait." Lin Ke sneered. "I won¡¯t give you the opportunity to produce freely all the way until the countdown."

    He had decided to act early and give Chen Feng a miserable death. While he was at it, he could somewhat humiliate Chen Feng as well. Only with this could he clean the humiliation he had previously suffered when he was insta-killed!

    "Two more."

    Lin Ke inhaled deeply.

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    He continued his production.

    In his livestream room, everyone did not know whether they shouldugh or cry. Not giving Chen Feng the chance to survive until the countdown? Brother, are you kidding me? Just take a look, your opponent is already at your entrance!

    At this time, everyone¡¯s hearts stirred as they suddenly noticed a ray of light bubbling up.

    Chen Feng...Was going to make his move!

    In the woods, Chen Feng was concealed at a certain corner without leaking any of his aura.

    He had been watching Lin Ke all along as Lin Kepleted a gene reagent. However, he had yet to make his move. Due to the gene reagent Lin Ke was producing being a somewhat easy reagent to produce, it would be quite easy for Lin Ke to stop his production to deal with Chen Feng. And now, when Lin Ke had once again started producing another gene reagent, a cold glint shed in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    This is the chance!

    Shua!

    Light shed in Lin Ke¡¯s eyes as he entered the digitized world!

    "Now!"

    Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Feng tossed out the thundersnake gene reagent in his hand.

    "Xiu!"

    Lightning shed.

    The thundersnake gene reagent exploded on Lin Ke¡¯s body.

    A faint swirling light scattered and disappeared immediately. However, despite it not touching Lin Ke¡¯s body, Lin Ke, who possessed a certain degree of crisis awareness, still awoke at this moment.

    Chen Feng?!

    Lin Ke immediately had an ominous feeling.

    "He still has a chance!"

    Everyone started spamming the chat in the livestream room.

    "Quickly, release your defensive gene reagent!"

    "Yes yes yes, despite this mutated thundersnake gene reagent having a high attack, its reaction time is slow. Hence, Lin Ke has an adequate amount of time to respond to it. He still has a chance to immediately erect his defense!"

    Everyone bellowed frantically, "This is his final chance, he must defend against Chen Feng!"

    At this time, Chen Feng was merely smiling as he looked at the Lin Ke in front of him.

    "Hello."

    Chen Feng waved his hand as he greeted Lin Ke.

    "Ah?"

    Lin Ke nked momentarily. The him that had just retreated from the digitized world evidently had no idea what was happening and instinctively returned Chen Feng¡¯s greeting with a ¡®hello¡¯ as well.

    "Bang!"

    Terrifying lighting suddenly started descending from the sky.

    Lin Ke was instantly heavily injured.

    "Xiu!"

    Chen Feng tossed out a 1-star F-ss fireball gene reagent.

    "Bang!"

    Gene reagent exploded.

    The dense me burned while the heavily injured Lin Ke was killed on the spot.

    "..."

    The livestream room sunk into momentary silence and went into an uproar shortly after.

    He was dead just like that?!

    The first battle ended just like that?

    There was also that Chen Feng. He was too excessive! Thundersnake reagent, hello, fireball reagent, triplebo aplished smoothly in one go. This was simply a humiliation!

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    The battle ended.

    Chen Feng and Lin Ke had returned to their stations.

    Chen Feng had won.

    The match that was expected tost a whole day had beenpleted in 15 minutes by Chen Feng.

    Of those 15 minutes, he had spent 5 minutes in gene production, 5 minutes to look for his opponent, 5 minutes waiting for a chance to attack, and only a single instant was used for him to kill his opponent.

    From the hunt till the final kill, it gave people a carefree feeling!

    **

    "I... am dead?"

    Lin Ke stared nkly at himself.

    Since he had returned to the real world, it meant that the match had ended.

    The revenge he had nned had yet to be aplished. The set of gene reagents he had prepared with utmost care was not even used yet. Just like that, he had been killed by Chen Feng?

    For him to die to a 1-star F-ss fireball reagent on top of that!

    "Ah ah ah ah!" Lin Ke raged.

    When he recalled how Chen Feng had greeted him in the midst of everything, he was so angry he felt like killing someone. That was too excessive!!!

    As he recalled the previous scene...

    As he recalled the tens of millions of viewers looking at him as he was humiliated...

    "Chen Feng!"

    Lin Ke¡¯s fury surged to the skies.

    Chen Feng again!

    This was supposed to be a battle where he humiliated Chen Feng! This was supposed to be a battle where he took the initiative to attack!

    How could things turn out this way?

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah!" Lin Ke bellowed.

    He was filled with anger yet couldn¡¯t find an outlet to let it all out.

    The final confrontation did not end here. He still had eight more matches. However, no matter what, his battle with Chen Feng had ended with hisplete defeat.

    Furthermore, he still had an ominous feeling...

    His guess was correct.

    Despite the end of their battle, the viewers of both their livestream rooms were going crazy, spamming the chat with countless messages. Everyone was furiously spamming the chat.

    "Lin Ke, hello. Too damn funny."

    "Thundersnake-hello-fireball technique, thetest triplebo, 2333333[1]."

    "66666666666, you got to respect this."

    "I can¡¯t take this anymore. I am going to change camps. From today onward, I am Chen Feng¡¯s fanboy!"

    "Hahaha, who said that Chen Feng couldn¡¯t win? Despite our Chen Feng having low umtion with bad foundations, our Chen Feng¡¯s IQ is high!"

    Everyoneughed crazily.

    "This..."

    Chen Feng was also speechless with this when he returned to the real world.

    Lin Ke¡¯s unexpected awakening from his digitized mode was something he had seen as well. Due to the thundersnake gene reagent being an attack that would descend from above, Chen Feng had immediately greeted Lin Ke in order to attract his attention.

    His train of thought was very simple.

    Greeting Lin Ke in front of him, he would definitely activate his defensive gene reagent. If his vignce was high enough, he could even instantly fully activate his defense!

    At this time, the area above him would be the blind spot and the thundersnake gene reagent¡¯s bombardment would still be sessful!

    This was Chen Feng¡¯s n!

    Greeting was simply to attract Lin Ke¡¯s attention!

    However...

    He had never expected that, despite Lin Ke being able to vigntly awaken from the digitized mode, when Lin Ke saw Chen Feng greeting him, his instinctive reaction would be to return the greeting with a hello???

    Are you kidding me?

    Chen Feng felt helpless as well. He truly did not intend to humiliate Lin Ke.

    In the onlinemunity.

    As Chen Feng¡¯s match ended, a hot discussion arose.

    Chen Feng¡¯s unexpected victory had exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations. However, for some reason, the masses were not focused on his victory, rather¡ª

    They were focused on his triplebo.

    Thundersnake-hello-fireball technique. This became a new meme, bing the way in which a huge amount of people greeted their friends.

    The moment where Lin Ke replied with a hello with a nk, puzzled expression on his face was screenshotted, turned into a meme, and spread online at a crazy pace, causing the masses to go hysteria from theughter.

    Lin Ke was now trending.

    Through such a bizarre manner.

    It was also at this time that a well-known critic, Song Dazui, suddenly started his bombardment of the Gene Rookie Competition. Hisrge-scale bombardment was directed toward the rules and fairness of the Gene Rookie Competition!

    Chapter 146: The Meaning of the Competition

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Song Dazui[1]. A critic well known by the public.

    He found the meaning of his existence through criticizing all sorts of hot news and gossip. Due to his shamelessness, he had also umted a huge number of fans throughout the years.

    This time, he trained his fire on the Gene Rookie Competition.

    "In my opinion, this year¡¯spetition is extremely unfair."

    Song Dazui wrote a long article about it.

    His contents include him saying how thepetition¡¯s rules were unreasonable, were the winners selected through such apetition truly the strongest producers, etc.

    He also mentioned that Lin Ke was obviously much stronger than Chen Feng yet had ended up defeated in such a manner. Was such apetition method fair? Furthermore, without the slightest hesitation, he questioned that since when had thepetition between producers degenerated to the level of gic warriors where they battle each other barbarously?

    "Hua¡ª"

    This caused an uproar among the masses.

    However, these words of his had indeed left a lot of people pondering.

    Especially the fans of Lin Ke!

    He was obviously much stronger than Chen Feng, yet he had been defeated just like that, and in such an insulting manner too! Did this not mean that there was a problem with the rules of thepetition?

    Hence, arge number of people started supporting Song Dazui.

    How many fans did Lin Ke have?

    Over 10 million!

    That superpowerful energy armor and that ice-cold sci-fi feel he gave them had attracted a lot of attention, turning those people into his diehard fans. At this time, it was natural for them to step out and show their support for Lin Ke.

    Who was right or wrong was no longer important. They simply wanted a fight.

    "Ah ah ah ah ah, requesting the rules of thepetition be changed."

    "Yeah!"

    "This is supposed to be apetition between producers! Just give each participant aboratory each, let them have a battle of production sess rate based on the provided materials. Wouldn¡¯t this be fine?!"

    "Killing is a barbarous act."

    Lin Ke¡¯s fansined crazily.

    However, this time, before the Gene Production Association replied, someone else replied.

    Furthermore¡ª

    This was a grandmaster producer with an illustrious status.

    "I believe I am qualified enough to answer these questions, right?" The grandmaster producer said indifferently. Next, he started counterattacking without a trace of politeness.

    "1. Lin Ke deserved his death.

    "After leaving the digitized world, he failed to clear his head immediately. This shows that Lin Ke¡¯s experience in counterattacking and crisis awareness is almost nonexistent. This means, if he were to produce gene reagents in the wilderness, the moment he met with any danger, he would definitely die! Looking at it this way, Lin Ke deserved his death! He should rejoice in the fact that this is only a simted environment. If not...

    "2. Who told you Lin Ke is stronger than Chen Feng?

    "Although Chen Feng only produced a small amount of gene reagents, regardless of the speed, time spent, or the quality, his gene reagents far surpassed the gene reagents of Lin Ke.

    "3. Thepetition rules are extremely fair.

    "This is a score-basedpetition. Lin Ke¡¯s defeat did not mean that he lost thepetition. Chen Feng¡¯s victory did not mean he won thepetition. In a score-basedpetition, only the one with the highest final score will be the final winner.

    "4. May I ask, which aspect of thispetition is unfair?

    "For gene production at the higher levels, there are a lot of situations where the producers will be required to produce on the spot. All sorts of enemies andyers of plots and machinations unfolding together. Do you believe that these people will take the fact that you are a producer into consideration and have a fairpetition of gene production with you? Are you f*cking retarded!? Do you think that everyone everywhere is your mother?"

    Shua!

    The moment the thread was released, it caused an uproar.

    "666666666."

    "What a good ¡¯everyone everywhere is your mother¡¯!"

    "Yeah, who told you that Lin Ke is stronger than Chen Feng?"

    "It¡¯s fine for Song Dazui to seek the meaning of his existence by gossiping about those celebrities. Now he actually dares to shoot his mouth off about the Gene Rookie Competition? Any random grandmaster can berate him to death."

    Everyone was happily gossiping.

    At the learning forum, a number of genuine producers also voiced their concerns at this moment.

    "I encountered countless crises in the past. Some were even much more terrifying than what Lin Ke encountered. How many of myrades died due to their crisis awareness being too weak. Do you think everything will be fine just because we received the protection of gic warriors?"

    "Too naive!"

    "In all honesty, Lin Ke deserved his defeat! As long as he possessed even a little crisis awareness and paid more attention to his surroundings, he would have been able to secure victory!"

    A lot of producers agreed.

    "I don¡¯t have much understanding about gene production," a gic warrior said. "However, if I am shing against a team with gene producers within, I will definitely kill the producer first!

    "The reason for that is very simple. It is because they are simply too easy to kill! Furthermore, they pose an extremely big threat."

    As the masses heard this, they started dripping wet with sweat.

    A certain old producer took this opportunity to talk about his past experiences back then. Every single time they could only barely escape death. Surviving itself was simply a miraculous feat!

    On-the-spot production was much dangerous than what these people imagined!

    "I personally think that the rules of thispetition are very fitting."

    "It¡¯s about time those nerd producers take a good look at how the real world works," an old producermented.

    They had been against Chen Feng previously. However, they had still stepped out at this time. This was not for Chen Feng; instead, this was for the circle of producers!

    For all the gene producers!

    Support!

    Countless people voiced their opinions.

    This was the very first time Chen Feng was the one standing on the high ground during a controversy involving him.

    In the hotel, Mu Yuan was somewhat unused to the current situation online. He had been used to the controversies surrounding Chen Feng. The moment he appeared, he would simply be condemned by the masses. He did not expect that this time, Chen Feng had so many supporters!

    "Damn, this is not a spam army hired by Chen Feng, right?" Mu Yuan muttered.

    At this time, thepetition was progressing.

    Chen Feng had already won his match; however, the battles of other participants were still progressing.

    The first match only ended at 8:30 PM. Despite the fact that everyone already knew the results from the livestreams, they still found the official result interesting.

    ----

    Qin Hai vs Jing Hi, Qin Hai¡¯s victory.

    Zhao Tian vs Huang He, Zhao Tian¡¯s victory.

    Bei Ta vs Lu Yi, Bei Ta¡¯s victory.

    Yun Xiaoduo vs Deng Li, Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s victory.

    ----

    The match ended.

    Chen Feng and the rest returned to the real world.

    Due to this being the final confrontation, before the end of thepetition, no one was allowed to leave the arena. Hence, they would have to stay here for the next few days.

    With these people?

    Chen Feng looked at Qin Hai and the rest as a smile appeared on his face.

    The alliance of nine?

    What a joke!

    "What did he mean?" Qin Hai nked before looking at the others.

    Lin Ke was ashen faced. "I was defeated."

    "What?"

    Everyone was astonished.

    Qin Hai was shocked. "What happened?"

    Lin Ke was very strong. Even Qin Hai would have a hard time trying to defeat Lin Ke. That terrifying energy armor with some energy-based reagents added on top of it had a high probability of forming aplete cirction of energy, leading to the formation of a never-ending supply of energy!

    How did he end up defeated?

    Lin Ke¡¯s goal was the top three!

    Even if he couldn¡¯t defeat Qin Hai and some others, he was still an extremely powerful person!

    Defeated by Chen Feng?

    Qin Hai¡¯s heart jolted furiously.

    "What happened?" Qin Hai asked in a low voice.

    Lin Ke gave a rough description of what had happened. At that, everyone sunk into silence.

    "So powerful!"

    Qin Hai¡¯s heart jolted.

    Despite Chen Feng only using two F-ss gene reagents, that smooth sequence of his moves when he was on the hunt had rmed everyone.

    If...

    It was not Lin Ke, but them instead?

    Shua!

    Qin Hai started perspiring.

    Chen Feng could very well be much more dangerous than they had imagined!

    Chen Feng was extremely intelligent. Aware of his strong points and weak points. Despite his strength and umtion being quitecking, hisbat experience was extremely rich!

    Hence, he was able to capitalize on his strong points to defeat Lin Ke.

    Qin Hai had a decisive expression. "I can¡¯t give him any chances."

    Chen Feng¡¯s awareness was too terrifying. He definitely had to avoid having a contest in this aspect with Chen Feng!

    If he were to be matched with Chen Feng, he had to produce a defensive gene first to protect himself so that Chen Feng couldn¡¯t assassinate him. Only with this could he fully disy his strength.

    At this time, the rest had made a simr decision as well.

    Possessing strong awareness? Fine, I shall avoid you first, then.

    Your foundations are quite weak anyway. When I¡¯m done with my defensive gene, I willplete all my genebos. Only at that time will I have a direct confrontation with you!

    The tragedy known as Lin Ke could not be allowed to repeat.

    Currently, in the virtualpany building, Gao Yunfeng was looking at the data of the first match.

    Chen Feng had won.

    And triggered a series of controversies as a result.

    "Truly..."

    Gao Yunfeng shook his head.

    "Lin Ke¡¯s defeat has instead made the true meaning of this year¡¯spetition known," Hou Liang said indifferently.

    Gao Yunfeng nodded slightly.

    He was aware that the kids nowadays were more partial toward the path of pure production. However, he had never expected that it was so severe! Even a celebrity producer like Lin Kecked crisis awareness. Was it due to the protection these producers received all this while being too good? Things were looking bleak.

    Nevertheless, the final confrontation had to continue.

    The first match was simply the beginning. Only one point was awarded. Only by progressing without stop and working hard to improve oneself could one became the best producer!

    Why were the rounds in thepetition separated with rest days in between?

    That was not only given so that the participants would have time to produce genes. It was also given so that they would have the chance to study! There were simply way too many things for them to learn from each round they went through.

    A lot of things learnt from the textbook or learnt during one¡¯s training would encounter problems during actual on-the-spot production.

    This was especially true in situations where the producer was affected by the dangers in their surroundings.

    It was only during such moments that the true power of a producer could be seen.

    If one were to encounter failure during the first time, it was understandable. What should one do next then? Only by learning without stop could one progress till the end! Gao Yunfeng also wanted to take a good look, what kind of strongest producer would appear at the end of thispetition?

    Qin Hai?

    Yun Xiaoduo?

    Or...

    Light shed in Gao Yunfeng¡¯s eyes.

    Footnotes:

    1. Fun fact, the Dazui in Song Dazui¡¯s name means ¡®big mouth¡¯ in Chinese. Hence, his character is spot on with his name.

    Night passed quietly.

    Next day, at 10:00 AM sharp, the second round began.

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    Chen Feng¡¯s second opponent appeared.

    Chen Feng vs Zhao Tian!

    "It¡¯s him?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted.

    Zhao Tian.

    A famous celebrity producer.

    It was rumored that Zhao Tian¡¯s family background was quite ordinary. He had depended on his efforts alone to reach his current height. Possessing extremely rich production experience! Despite not being as popr as Qin Hai or Yun Xiaoduo, he was still extremely powerful. His modified form was his strongest trump card!

    A special gene reagent possessing an extremely powerful ability!

    ----

    Mutated Roach Gene Reagent

    ss: E

    Difficulty: 5-star

    Type: Special

    Function: User will obtain an extremely powerful adaptability. For a duration of one day, all E-ss and below gene reagents that had been used at least once on him would subsequently lose their effectiveness against him.

    ----

    "Mutated roach gene reagent..."

    The information regarding this gene reagent surfaced in Chen Feng¡¯s brain.

    This was an extremely terrifying gene reagent in the lower levels!

    One had to know that this was the Gene Rookie Competition!

    How could a producer only produce a single attack gene reagent? One could only defeat their opponent by bombarding their opponent with a bunch of these attack gene reagents!

    Before Zhao Tian?

    All that was but a joke!

    Even if one prepared a hundred of the same gene reagents, they would still be ineffective, apart from the first attack!

    This gene was simply a heaven-defying existence despite its limitation of a 1-day duration.

    However, this did not mean that Zhao Tian was undefeated. A huge amount of materials and energy were required to produce the mutated roach gene reagent. One only needed to kill him before hepleted his production.

    "I need to kill him as soon as possible!"

    Chen Feng had a clear goal.

    Shua!

    After preparing the mutated thundersnake gene, Chen Feng was once again out on the hunt.

    "It begins again."

    The viewers in Chen Feng¡¯s livestream room were filled with anticipation.

    Without a doubt, his current opponent, Zhao Tian, was extremely formidable. The only hope for Chen Feng to obtain victory was to kill Zhao Tian before hepleted his mutated roach gene reagent production!

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    Chen Feng traveled forth.

    However, just as he was halfway to Zhao Tian, he had no choice but to stop. That was because, regardless of what ability he used, he was unable to find a trace of Zhao Tian. He would not be able to find Zhao Tian unless he carpet searched every inch ofnd here.

    Zhao Tian had concealed himself.

    He had even used a gene reagent with a barrier-like ability.

    "Smell of orchid..."

    Chen Feng took in the smell in the air.

    This was a type of gene reagent that was able to release a huge amount of gaseous substance capable of interfering with one¡¯s spiritual energy, sense of hearing, and vision. It pervaded the whole simted environment.

    "Such a high vignce."

    Chen Feng had a solemn mood.

    By doing this, it was obvious that Zhao Tian wanted to waste his time. As long as hested until his mutated roach gene reagent was produced, Chen Feng would simply not be his opponent anymore.

    At this time, at a certain location, Zhao Tian¡¯s lips curled into a smile.

    Chen Feng? I won¡¯t let you find me easily. This match will only truly begin after I produce my mutated roach gene reagent. At that time, I will let you see the true power of this gene reagent!

    Zhao Tian was filled with anticipation.

    He would not repeat Lin Ke¡¯s mistake.

    This time...

    He had to win!

    "You insta-killed me once before; I will defeat you once now."

    Zhao Tian¡¯s lips curled into a smile.

    His mutated roach gene was not omnipotent. At least, against Qin Hai and a few others, it wasn¡¯t as effective. Instead, there was even a possibility of this gene reagent impeding him! After all, too long a time was required to produce this gene. This led to a low quantity and quality for his other gene reagents. However, if it was used against Chen Feng?

    It was simply a divine weapon!

    This was a good opportunity for him to be famous!

    Zhao Tian was tempted.

    With Chen Feng¡¯s umtion, after he used the pitiful amount of attack gene reagents he had, he could only watch as Zhao Tian started ravaging him. Here, there was simply no chance for Zhao Tian to be defeated!

    "Ha."

    The more he thought about it, the more excited Zhao Tian was. He started producing his gene reagent. Before his production waspleted, he would definitely not face Chen Feng.

    "Hum¡ª"

    A faint orchid fragrance spread out.

    Zhao Tian¡¯s silhouette silently disappeared from the woods.

    In Zhao Tian¡¯s livestream room, everyone that witnessed this scene eximed in astonishment.

    Interference...

    Trap...

    Mislead...

    From the smell to the footprints, Zhao Tian had wlessly prepared everything before starting his production. It was simply impossible for Chen Feng to find him.

    "Such a strong vignce."

    "Seems like Chen Feng will lose this match."

    "Yeah, a method like assassination can only be used once."

    Everyonemented.

    Since assassination was no longer effective, there was no longer any suspense to this match. A gene reagent like what Zhao Tian used was extremely effective against a person with low umtion like Chen Feng.

    It was simply impossible for him to obtain victory.

    "He has been restrained..."

    "The control on the rhythm of the match has been snatched away by Zhao Tian."

    "This is quite pitiful."

    Everyone felt regretful.

    The production of the mutated roach gene reagent was extremely time consuming. Hence, Chen Feng proceeded to produce genes while he was on the hunt. However, after approximately five hours, he had yet to discover Zhao Tian.

    That guy¡¯s vignce was too high!

    Chen Feng was producing while hunting him; he was gathering material while he hid.

    One action would not dy the other.

    After five hours, Zhao Tian¡¯s production was sessful!

    Gulp.

    Zhao Tian directly gulped his mutated roach gene reagent down. A gush of powerful force bubbled up as a faint purple aura swirled around him.

    "It¡¯s done?"

    A smile appeared on Zhao Tian¡¯s lips.

    Chen Feng... you dare to hunt me? Hehe.

    With a wide stride, Zhao Tian walked out and bellowed, "Chen Feng, do you dare toe out?"

    He was ignored.

    "Hmph." He sneered. "Let me see, how long can you continue hiding?"

    Shua!

    Zhao Tian started hunting for Chen Feng.

    After preparing a bunch of defensive gene reagents, Zhao Tian was all ready. Even if Chen Feng were to appear, he would be able to exhaust Chen Feng to death!

    Zhao Tian started producing gene reagents while he looked for Chen Feng.

    "6666666."

    "How many hours has it been, the situation is now overturned?"

    "There are no other options, that mutated roach gene is too powerful."

    "True, that thing can only somewhat limit a powerful producer. However, for a rookie producer like Chen Feng, it is simply an existence akin to a disaster!"

    Everyonemented.

    Chen Feng seemed to only possess a single thundersnake gene, right?

    Perhaps...

    Several beginner level 1-star F-ss reagents as well?

    Something like the fireball technique.

    Such simple attacking methods were simply incapable of dealing any sort of damage to Zhao Tian. This was especially true now that Zhao Tian had produced several defensive gene reagents as well.

    It was very probable that Chen Feng might fail to break through the defense!

    "Chen Feng,e out!"

    Zhao Tian sneered as he started hunting for Chen Feng.

    Everyone was somewhat speechless.

    The originally simple gene confrontation had once again degenerated. During the first half, Chen Feng was hunting for Zhao Tian. During thetter half, Zhao Tian was hunting for Chen Feng. The two seemed to be ying a game of hide and seek. When hunting and hiding, both were also producing their selected genes in order to prepare for the final confrontation.

    Time passed quietly.

    At the final hour, light shed.

    Area restriction activated!

    "Hum¡ª"

    With the center of the simted environment as the middle point, ayer of faint ck light appeared at the edges of the simted environment and started closing in. Everywhere thatyer of light passed, not a single de of grass was left alive. Everything there was destroyed.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone inhaled mouthfuls of cold air as they looked at the environment that was rapidly rotting.

    Mountain ranges...

    Woods...

    Everything was instantly turned into nothingness.

    So this was the so called area restriction. The ck light would, in an hour, slowly move toward the inner region of the simted environment until it reached the center!

    These lights moved slowly, but if one were to touch them, only death would await.

    It was also at this moment that, at a certain edge of the remaining active area, Chen Feng slowly crawled out, carrying a bundle.

 Chapter 148: Competing in Accumulation? Come at Me!

    Chapter 148: Competing in umtion? Come at Me!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "You finally show yourself." Zhao Tian sneered. "Why are you running? Didn¡¯t you have a lot of fun hunting for me in the start?"

    Chen Feng merely smiled. "Hehe."

    "Hmph." Zhao Tian snorted before indifferently saying, "Since I have now caught you, don¡¯t even think of escaping anymore. Just let this end. You have no chance of winning anyway."

    "Is that so?" Chen Feng put his bundle down. "I prepared a lot of gifts to you."

    Zhao Tian sneered. "How funny."

    Chen Feng¡¯s umtion was clear for all to see. Or could it be that this Chen Feng fellow had not checked information about him beforeing here? Not aware of his mutated roach gene reagent?!

    If that was the case...

    A cold glint shed in Zhao Tian¡¯s eyes.

    It was at this moment that Chen Feng opened his bundle.

    Shua!

    A row of shiny gene reagents appeared. They were so dazzling that the light almost blinded Zhao Tian.

    This...

    Zhao Tian was shocked.

    "I wonder if these are enough?" Chen Feng smiled and stopped talking.

    "You..." Zhao Tian¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    That was because, in Chen Feng¡¯s bundle, over 100 gene reagents could be seen. Furthermore, among all the gene reagents, none were repeated gene reagents, and all of them were attack gene reagents!

    "Run!"

    Zhao Tian instinctive response was to retreat.

    However¡ª

    Toote!

    "ept your gifts."

    Chen Feng tossed out a bottle of gene reagent.

    Bang!

    The air cracked.

    A bottle of 3-star gene reagent exploded, and Zhao Tian defended himself hastily.

    This was merely the beginning. From Chen Feng¡¯s hand, one bottle after another of different gene reagents were tossed out, each of them exploding with an extremely formidable power.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    A session of gene bombardment.

    Just as Zhao Tian had said earlier, his mutated roach gene reagent was extremely powerful. However, its weakness was rather obvious as well. The weakness being that it was too time and energy consuming. Because of this, apart from this special gene, Zhao Tian was not able to produce too many different gene reagents.

    He did not have too much in the way of defensive gene reagents either.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Chen Feng¡¯s hand was furiously tossing gene reagents.

    All Zhao Tian could do was frantically defend himself, cutting a sorry figure.

    "This..."

    "Damn!"

    "So many gene reagents!"

    Everyone in the livestream room was stunned.

    Was this really Chen Feng?

    That moment when Chen Feng took out over 100 gene reagents from his bundle, they were all stunned. That was because this signified that Chen Feng had mastered at least 100 or more forms!

    Low umtion?

    No form?

    They suddenly felt like their faces had been pped to the point that they were swelling.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Terrifying energy descended.

    Thundersnake gene was simply one of the gene reagents in Chen Feng¡¯s bundle. A vast majority of the gene reagents in it were gene reagents that Chen Feng himself had never seen before either. These were all part of the countless forms he had purchased recently.

    The cost for producing these gene reagents was very low as well.

    He could directly produce an F-ss gene reagent sessfully, while an E-ss gene reagent would at most exhaust 1 point of his luck value.

    "umtion?"

    "You arepeting in umtion with me?"

    Chen Feng sneered.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Zhao Tian had a dumbstruck expression.

    Chen Feng¡¯s bombardment covered a full 360-degree angle around him, not even giving him a chance to flee. The pitiful amount of defensive gene reagents he had could not disy much effect at all at this moment.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Zhao Tian started furiously vomiting blood.

    Mutated roach gene?

    Super strong adaptability?

    Under Chen Feng¡¯s never-ending bombardment, it became a joke.

    At this time, the livestream rooms sunk into a momentary silence as well. No one had expected that this would happen. The Zhao Tian that had just won his previous match would sink into such a miserable predicament?

    Attacked by Chen Feng¡¯s countless gene reagents to the point where he started questioning the purpose of life!

    Furthermore, the scariest point being: if even Chen Feng¡¯s attack gene reagent forms were in such a high amount, how about defensive, support, or other forms? How many of them did he have?

    No one knew!

    "Who the f*ck said that his umtion is weak?"

    Zhao Tian was furious.

    This was too hateful. If he had known earlier that Chen Feng actually had so many forms, he would absolutely not have produced this mutated roach gene.

    Why was he so passive currently?

    That was because he had wasted such a long time to produce a gene that was simply useless against Chen Feng!

    How could he win now?

    "Ah ah ah ah ah..."

    Zhao Tian was furious.

    He could vaguely feel that he had once again been tricked by Chen Feng!

    "Pu!"

    Another gene descended and shattered Zhao Tian¡¯s chest with an explosion.

    "I will die soon..."

    Zhao Tian had an unsightly expression.

    He couldn¡¯t lose here!

    It has been too difficult for him to reach this height!

    He was aware that it was not possible for him to be the champion, so his goal was to get into the top three!

    Entering the top three!

    Obtaining the reward given to the top three participants!

    This had always been his goal all this while.

    Yun Xiaoduo and Qin Hai had extremely terrifying strength, so he simply couldn¡¯t defeat them. He would not be able to score in his matches against them. Hence, before he encountered them, he could not fail to score in his other matches.

    The one point from his match with Chen Feng, he could not lose!

    "Bang!"

    Another gene reagent descended.

    At this, Zhao Tian¡¯s defenses fully copsed, and bloodstains were all over his body.

    He couldn¡¯t hold on for much longer.

    "You forced me," Zhao Tian bellowed.

    Bang!

    He started shining with a terrifying dazzling radiance.

    "Trump card, eh?"

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

    However, right at this instant, the world before his eyes blurred. The whole simted environment seemed to disappear at this instant, and a brand new world appeared!

    "This is..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils constricted.

    Currently, within the virtualpany building, the expression of Gao Yunfeng who was enjoying the show in themand center suddenly changed greatly. "This is bad."

    Digital battle!

    Zhao Tian had actually dragged Chen Feng into his digitized world!

    Things were getting dangerous!

    "Damn it."

    Gao Yunfeng had an unsightly expression.

    The danger level of digital battles was extremely high.

    During the previous Gene Rookie Competitions, every single year there were participants who died due to this. This year, when setting up the rules, he had tried his best to prevent this from happening.

    However, he had never expected that, during the final confrontation, these bastards would still use such a method of battle! The ability to engage in digital battles was part of gene production; hence, he couldn¡¯t prohibit this!

    One had to know that to die in the virtual world was simply a simted death. That was because only one¡¯s simted body was active in the virtual world.

    However, in a digital battle, one could erase their opponent¡¯s spirit body! The moment something bad happened in the digital battle, it was true damage! It was very probable for Chen Feng to directly die here!

    "Pass the information to Chen Feng." Gao Yunfeng inhaled, "If he can¡¯t hold on, surrender immediately. He must definitely not meet this digital battle with force!"

    "Wait." Gao Yunfeng thought about it and said, "Activate the special channel. Regardless of who it is that surrenders, end thepetition immediately after that!"

    "Understood."

    The technician nodded.

    Countlessmands were sent, yet Gao Yunfeng still had a solemn expression on his face.

    Digital battles were too dangerous.

    The moment the two digitized worlds collided, one would either die or suffer injuries. Even if Chen Feng wanted to retreat, would Zhao Tian allow him to? This was the most dangerous method of confrontation among gene producers!

    "Hopefully, nothing bad will happen," Gao Yunfeng muttered.

    Beside him, Hou Liang merely smiled. He believed that, since a gene producer could use all methods avable for them in the final confrontation, digital battle should naturally be included!

    It finally reaches this point?

    At this time, in the live stream room, the viewers who were initially enjoying the show became spirited.

    "Damn, it¡¯s a digital battle!"

    "Finally, we get to see this!"

    "The cruelest confrontation method between gene producers?"

    "Zhao Tian is truly vicious!"

    "What¡¯s so vicious about that? He¡¯s losing anyway. Why not try a digital battle? Since it is allowed by the rules, it is legitimate! For his rank in thispetition, he must fight it out!"

    Everyone started discussing spiritedly.

    The appearance of a digital battle had triggered everyone there.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Regardless of Chen Feng or Zhao Tian, the viewers of both their livestream rooms increased rapidly.

    "I¡¯m afraid an ident will happen," someone said in a low voice.

    In a digital battle, if one side was stronger and one side was weaker, then it wasn¡¯t scary. One would be able to retreat if one couldn¡¯t win. The scariest scenario was when one party was well-versed in digital battle methods while the other did not know how to engage in digital battles! Despite this being something a high-level producer had to know, among these intermediate-level producers, how many of them had actually learned it? The moment they were attacked, something bad could happen!

    This was the scariest aspect of this!

    Did Chen Feng possess any digital battling methods?

    No one knew the answer!

    "Bang!"

    Light swirled.

    With a resplendent radiance, a multicolored mystical world appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes.

    Digital battle!

    Began!

 Chapter 149: Zhao Tianâ€™s Firm Decision to Kill

    Chapter 149: Zhao Tian¡¯s Firm Decision to Kill

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "It¡¯s starting."

    Everyone had a solemn mood.

    Digital battle, the cruelest confrontation method avable in the Gene Rookie Competition!

    This was because, for the producers at this level, even if they were lucky enough to have learned about digital battling methods, they were still rookies at it. Lacking control and unaware of the severity of their actions, casualties could arise easily.

    "This is bad, Chen Feng doesn¡¯t seem to know how to engage in digital battles."

    "How did you figure that out?"

    "Look at his digitized world, there¡¯s nothing in it!"

    That guy had an unsightly expression.

    At this time, everyone looked over. Currently, both digitized worlds had ovepped with each other. In this multicolored world, Chen Feng and Zhao Tian were facing each other, standing on firm earth beneath their feet.

    Behind Zhao Tian, countless shiny genes streaked around, forming into countless shapes. This was the digitized world he forged, a formidable world created to assist him in gene production!

    Behind Chen Feng, though, there was nothing!

    "This is a digitized world?"

    Everyone gasped.

    A digitized world was something a gene producer had to have.

    However, when one had just entered the profession, their digitized world would be like a piece of nk paper. A high-level producer would be able to alter and perfect their digitized world, greatly increasing their gene search efficiency. This was something every single gene producer had to learn.

    Due to the fact that the digitized world was a world formed by spirit, it was something that could be easily attacked by other producers. This was how digital battles came about. The moment a digital battle started, both digitized worlds would temporarily ovep with each other.

    Moreover, everything one created in the digitized world, such as weapons, defenses, shapes, and everything else, would appear to be controlled as one wished. An example would be the countless shining genes behind Zhao Tian.

    One could control them to either attack or defend.

    If one won, one would be able to inflict heavy injuries on the spirit of one¡¯s opponent.

    If one was defeated, one had to hastily leave.

    In other words...

    Even if one¡¯s spirit was heavily injured, one had to leave this space. That was because the moment the digitized world was locked and one could no longer leave, it was very probable for one¡¯s spirit to be destroyed there!

    That would be equivalent to a real death.

    "Yi, something is wrong?" A lot of people had a puzzled expression. "I seem to recall from the previous digital battles I saw, within there would be countless genes."

    "That was the gene production stage," the others in the livestream room exined to him.

    Gene production stage.

    When one had freshly extracted blood essence for the gene search process, one¡¯s digitized world would be filled with genes. Hence, if one were to enter into a digital battle at this time, the digitized world would be filled with genes!

    This was the mostmonly seen type of battle during gene productions.

    The purpose of such a battle was to plunder the genes of one¡¯s opponent or to damage the production of one¡¯s opponent. The current digital battle they were witnessing was the normal condition of the digitized world, so naturally, there wouldn¡¯t be genes swimming around.

    "So that¡¯s the case." That person suddenly realized something and felt something was wrong. "However, if he does not even have those genes, then does that mean that Chen Feng will..."

    That¡¯s right.

    Chen Feng had no constructions his digitized world at all!

    If a digital battle was initiated during gene production, it would be fine, as Chen Feng would at least have some scattered genes at his disposal. However, the Chen Feng of now was simply akin to a naked person.

    He did not have anything to use!

    And opposite him...

    Despite the digitized equipment behind Zhao Tian being somewhat crude, he was nevertheless still fully armed.

    "Something bad is going to happen to Chen Feng."

    Now, everyone could see things clearly.

    "Just surrender fast."

    Some couldn¡¯t bear to watch on.

    "Yeah, it¡¯s only apetition. Only one point. We believe that you will be able to advance till the end, getting into the top three! Moreover, even if you were to lose one match, it is still possible for you to be the overall winner!"

    "True true true."

    The chat was furiously spammed.

    "You are only 18 years old, you don¡¯t have to bother about this guy, right?"

    "He¡¯s already 24 years old. He will definitely participate in next year¡¯spetition. With your talent, next year, you can definitely defeat him like a dog!"

    Everyoneforted Chen Feng.

    They were all wishing that Chen Feng would quickly surrender.

    After all¡ª

    One might lose one¡¯s life here!

    Along his way, Chen Feng had gained a lot of diehard fans. The fans that were initially silently watching Chen Feng¡¯spetition had also jumped out into the public due to this.

    At the same time, in various ces, countless people were paying attention to this. This was the first digital battle in this year¡¯spetition. The participant involved in it was the Chen Feng who was the newest in the profession among all the participants.

    The guy known as a ghost talent[1]!

    "Damn."

    "So Chen Feng does not know any digital battling methods?"

    "Bullshit, how long ago did he enter the profession? It¡¯s stunning enough for his production level to have reached this height. How could he have had any extra time to learn about digital battles?!"

    "Don¡¯t forget, he¡¯s only a peak beginner producer!"

    "Something is going to happen."

    Everyone¡¯s hearts chilled.

    Now, their only hope was for Chen Feng to surrender as soon as possible.

    Or perhaps...

    To look for an opportunity to escape despite his spirit suffering injuries.

    Shua!

    Countless gazes were concentrated on the digitized world.

    At this time, in the digitized world, Chen Feng had once again appeared in this mystical world.

    Under his feet was the familiar earth.

    Despite the fact that Chen Feng had never constructed his digitized world, this firm piece of earth he had in this digitized world was the spoils of war from his digital battle with Wang Yue previously.

    "This feels somewhat wrong."

    Zhao Tian could feel that the earth beneath him was firmer than he had imagined.

    He could distinctly remember that he had merely casually constructed a t surface.

    What about Chen Feng?

    Zhao Tian looked at the nk space behind Chen Feng and sneered. How could the firm earth be something resulting from him? This opponent was simply a total rookie who had yet to construct anything in his digitized world.

    "Seems like the ovep of two digitized worlds caused the earth to be firmer," Zhao Tian deduced.

    "Hum¡ª"

    A slight tremble started spreading.

    Now, both digitized worlds had perfectly ovepped.

    Behind Zhao Tian were several thousand flickering gene fragments. These things that one could not see with the naked eye in the real world were iparably immense in this world.

    Furthermore, they possessed extraordinary might.

    "Shua!"

    Countless gene fragments condensed into a huge sword in Zhao Tian¡¯s hand.

    This was an attacking method.

    "Shua!"

    A session of gene fragments enveloped him, forming shiny gene armor, helmet, boots... a wless set of equipment!

    This was a defensive method.

    In an instant, Zhao Tian had perfectly equipped himself.

    Before him, Chen Feng was not doing anything.

    "I¡¯m sorry." Zhao Tian looked at Chen Feng coldly. "This time, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t survive."

    "Oh?" Chen Feng was somewhat surprised.

    "I had to fight my way here all by myself and had experienced way too many things. This time, even if I were to let you off, after seriously injuring your spirit, your gene production skills would be adversely affected as well. As a result, you might hate me your whole life. With your talent, you might truly surpass me in the future. Therefore, I have to truly kill you here!"

    A cold glint shed in Zhao Tian¡¯s eyes.

    Kindhearted?

    It was nonexistent.

    If he was kindhearted, he would have died long ago.

    From a 14-year-old kid from the slums, he had reached his status today by relying on his viciousness alone. He was much wiser than Lin Ke!

    Chen Feng had to die!

    Apart from this, there was a more important factor!

    This year, his goal was top three. Next year, his goal would be first ce.

    How about Chen Feng?

    He was only 18 years old, with incredibly high talent.

    If first ce was taken by Qin Hai this year, he would need to face Chen Feng next year. No matter how confident he was in himself, he couldn¡¯t guarantee a victory against Chen Feng!

    This was a freak-like genius.

    Hence...

    If he wanted to grab the first ce next year, he had to get rid of Chen Feng!

    Chapter 150: Who¡¯s Killing Whom?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Goodbye," Zhao Tian shouted coldly.

    Since he had decided, he would not hesitate.

    He was clear that if he were to drag this out, some old man that loved talent would most probably interfere in this.

    Hence, he had to kill as fast as possible!

    Shua!

    Taking the opportunity when Chen Feng was still nkly thinking of his words, Zhao Tian erupted instantly. His fully armed body soared and he shed down toward Chen Feng with his terrifying sword.

    "Bang!"

    The terrifying sword descended.

    "Ka!"

    The air cracked.

    Under such a powerful attack, the digitized world that was not perfectly ovepped was showing signs that it could copse at any moment.

    "Something bad is happening!"

    All the viewers cried out in rm.

    They had guessed that a digital battle might be cruel, but they had never expected Zhao Tian to be so vicious when making his move while Chen Feng was a total rookie.

    Looking at Chen Feng that was dazed at the same spot without moving, everyone¡¯s hearts palpitated.

    Chen Feng...

    He really had no idea how to engage in digital battles!

    He did not even know how to escape or leave this ce!

    No.

    To be more urate, since entering the digitized world, this totally unfamiliar world to him, Chen Feng seemed to have remain stunned, doing nothing at all.

    With this sh of a sword, he would probably be finished.

    At this time, at the top floor of the virtualpany building.

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    Gao Yunfeng was ashen-faced. "Where¡¯s the message about surrendering? Has it been sent to Chen Feng?"

    "Yes, it was sent."

    The technician smiled bitterly. The first thing he did was send it to Chen Feng. Yet for unknown reason, Chen Feng did not react in any way.

    If so, why had he not received anything, then?

    Gao Yunfeng was anxious.

    Could it be that Zhao Tian possessed some method to block message transmissions? But this was a system notification! However, no one was sure of this as there were simply too many mysterious abilities in this world.

    Shua!

    Looking at that terrifying sh that was descending toward Chen Feng, Gao Yunfeng¡¯s heart palpitated. Chen Feng would die here like this? Even if he had always believed that Chen Feng was not qualified to be the champion, that was his prejudice against Chen Feng¡¯s age.

    Chen Feng¡¯s talent was something no one could deny!

    Quickly surrender! Gao Yunfeng howled inwardly.

    This was the final confrontation. Nobody could interfere with the match. Even he, the one who had set up the rules, could only watch on anxiously.

    It was at this time that Chen Feng suddenly raised his hand and pointed toward Zhao Tian.

    "He finally reacted?"

    Zhao Tianughed nastily. "It¡¯s toote!"

    "Bang!"

    The terrifying sword raynded.

    "Bang!"

    The earth trembled.

    "Is Chen Feng dead?"

    Everyone hesitantly looked at the scene, and they were collectively stunned.

    This...

    God!

    What had they seen?!

    How was this possible?!

    Countless people were so shocked they all stood up.

    "Damn!"

    Gao Yunfeng couldn¡¯t help but to curse.

    In the digitized world, Chen Feng was still standing in the same spot.

    The sword ray that was descending toward him had shattered, turning into countless gene fragments. Instead, on the head of Zhao Tian, who was not far away from him, a finger-sized hole had appeared.

    All the equipment on Zhao Tian¡¯s body had shattered.

    "How is this possible..."

    Zhao Tian widened his eyes unbelievably.

    He was defeated?

    Defeated by Chen Feng?

    In a digitized world on top of that?!

    How was this possible!

    Chen Feng was clearly a rookie in regard to digitized world!

    At this time.

    Xiu.

    A red light shed past.

    Only now did he see that resplendent red light string on Chen Feng¡¯s hand. It coiled around Chen Feng naughtily in a lively manner, as if it was a living being.

    "What is that..." Zhao Tian mumbled.

    He remembered.

    Previously, it was exactly this thing here that had pierced straight through him.

    At that instant, all the gene equipment on his body had copsed.

    This thing...

    "Can you feel that there¡¯s something different with this piece ofnd here?" Chen Feng suddenly asked with a smile on his face.

    "What?" Zhao Tian¡¯s expression changed greatly. "This is the digitized world you constructed!"

    "That¡¯s right," Chen Feng said coldly. "In my digitized world, only a piece of firm earth was constructed, and also a single strongest attack. With both of these, it¡¯s sufficient."

    Zhao Tian was ashen-faced.

    So that was the case!

    This piece of earth...

    That ray of light...

    They were actually Chen Feng¡¯s digital battling methods!

    The Chen Feng that he believed to have zero foundations actually possessed the strongest digital battling methods.

    Competing in digital battle with him?

    Simply akin to courting death.

    At this time, everyone who saw this had a dumbstruck expression. No one had expected that this would happen. Previously, they were still worrying and praying for Chen Feng. In the blink of an eye, this was the result presented to them?!

    With a single wave of hand, every method Zhao Tian had was destroyed.

    With a single ray of light, piercing straight through Zhao Tian.

    The digital battling methods of these two people were simply in two different leagues!

    "So powerful!"

    "Sooo cool, ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

    "You all have no idea how I was feeling. It¡¯s like riding a roller coaster. A second earlier, I was still thinking that Chen Feng would die. The next second, he had astonishingly counterattacked!"

    "Damn, too powerful."

    The chat was furiously spammed.

    Even the lurkers started spamming.

    The amount of spam in Chen Feng¡¯s chat had reached its highest point since the start. That insta-kill of Chen Feng¡¯s had enchanted countless viewers.

    "You..." A cold glint shed in Zhao Tian¡¯s eyes. "Is this really something yours?"

    Could he be cheating?

    The Gene Production Association would permit every method that belonged to the producer himself. However, something that belonged to others was not permitted to be used.

    This was understandable.

    If an elder were to teach one a certain method, and one trained painstakingly to make it something belonging to oneself, it was eptable. However, if one were to simply borrow something for their own use during thest minute?

    That was absolutely not permitted!

    For example...

    The plum blossom imprint Wang Yue had used previously was against the rules!

    Was Chen Feng truly so powerful?

    Zhao Tian doubted it.

    "It might be really true that you are simply a rookie. However, an expert previously helped you by leaving this ray of light in your body."

    Zhao Tian could not ept this.

    How much time had he spent painstakingly training to learn the method to engage in digital battle? For an intermediate producer to transcend sses and learn the methods of digital battle, the difficulty level was extremely high!

    As for Chen Feng?

    A mere beginner producer?

    How was it possible!

    "Is that so?"

    Chen Feng merely smiled.

    Since Xiao Ying had entered his spiritual world, he could feel that Xiao Ying and his spiritual energy were bing increasingly near in rhythm and had started to gradually assimte with his spiritual energy. This continued until, finally, Xiao Ying became a part of his spiritual energy!

    Cheating?

    What a joke!

    "What do you think of this, then?"

    Chen Feng raised his hand.

    "Hum¡ª"

    In the digitized world, the equipment of Zhao Tian that had been shattered by Chen Feng and turned into masterless gene fragments were actually slowly swimming toward Chen Feng.

    "Condense!"

    Chen Feng pointed midair.

    Shua!

    Those gene fragments had actually condensed into a huge sword once again.

    "How is that possible?!" Zhao Tian cried out in rm, an ugly expression on his face.

    This was the most basic of digital battling methods. However, a very long time was required in order to sharpen these gene fragments endlessly before turning it into a part of one¡¯s digitized world, turning it into one¡¯s weapon.

    Zhao Tian had spent one whole month on this!

    As for Chen Feng...

    Only a split second was used.

    Turning his gene fragments into a weapon in front of his face.

    Cheating?

    Was there any need?

    Their digital battling proficiencies were simply in different leagues!

    He was defeated.

    Utterly defeated.

    "However, the words of yours earlier indeed reminded me of something," Chen Feng suddenly smiled as he said. "It has been quite hard for you to reach this height. Hence, you treasure all this. Moreover, you are a vicious and merciless person, so you will definitely look for a chance to have your revenge against me. Therefore..."

    Not good!

    Zhao Tian¡¯s heart thumped. Chen Feng wanted to kill him!

    "I sur..." Zhao Tian suddenly screamed.

    However.

    Right this moment, Chen Feng raised his hand once again.

    "Xiu!"

    "Xiu!"

    "Xiu!"

    A red light shed.

    Xiao Ying streaked forth, leaving multiple afterimages behind, and pierced through Zhao Tian.

    Zhao Tian, dead!

    "..."

    Zhao Tian¡¯s mouth remained wide open, not having the chance to even finish his final word.

    It was still possible for him to recover if his body was merely pierced through. However, in the split second earlier, that countless exploding red light had exhausted all his energy!

    "Bang!"

    Zhao Tian¡¯s silhouette disappeared.

    The digitized world copsed.

    The first digital battle of this year¡¯s Gene Rookie Competition ended just like that.

    Currently, at thepetition arena, Zhao Tian¡¯s body copsed with a resounding thump, losing his consciousness eternally. In his livestream room, the stream had gone ck.

    Zhao Tian, dead!

    Bang!

    The whole world erupted in an uproar.

    No one had expected such a result!

    Zhao Tian was dead?

    That¡¯s right, Zhao Tian was dead!

    "Damn!"

    A lot of people remain dazed for a long time before reacting.

    This was the first death in this year¡¯s Gene Rookie Competition. Moreover, it was in such a way where the one intending to kill failed and ended up getting killed himself, dying in Chen Feng¡¯s hands!

    At the top floor of the virtualpany building. Even the Gao Yunfeng that had maintained an anxious expression all this while had a dumbstruck expression currently.

    It was over?

    Over just like that?

    That¡¯s right.

    Chen Feng had indeed survived. But the problem was, Zhao Tian was dead! The death of a producer, which was what he had always been trying to avoid, had still happened!

    At this time, in the virtual livestream room.

    "666666666666666."

    "Congrattions, Chen Feng, for sessfully counter-killing."

    "After this match, who still dares to look down upon our Chen Feng?"

    The chat was furiously spammed.

    Poor umtion?

    Lack of forms?

    Hehe.

    In this match, a countless amount of faces were pped by Chen Feng.

    From the moment Chen Feng had first participated in thispetition, he was the participant who had suffered the highest amount of condemnations. The reasons being his poor umtion,ck of forms, and using unusual methods to win through loopholes in every round!

    Yet, the truth was?

    Chen Feng¡¯s mastered forms were much higher than everyone else¡¯s!

    When he was battling against Zhao Tian, the attack gene reagents alone were already incredibly high! How about the other types of gene reagent?

    Defensive, support...

    When all types of gene reagents were totaled up, the amount would be much higher!

    umtion?

    Hehe, who had a bad umtion?

    What a joke!

    Everyone believed that Chen Feng had zero foundations in the aspect of digital battles, yet this was where he had instantly erupted and insta-killed Zhao Tian!

    Chen Feng not qualified to enter the top 10?

    Chen Feng was much weaker than Lin Ke?

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s fans were all stirred.

    In the learning forum.

    And all sorts of other onlinemunities, every single ce that had once berated Chen Feng was now silently enduring the face pping unleashed upon them by Chen Feng¡¯s fans. As for Song Dazui¡¯s personal website, it was simply flooded by endless spam.

    Chen Feng had instantly turned into a topic that was hot worldwide.

    "The fiercest dark horse in history!"

    "Digital battle number one, in this year¡¯spetition, who can contend with Chen Feng?!"

    "The most advantageous contender for first ce!"

    All the media outlets had Chen Feng on their front pages.

    As for the matches of the other participants?

    They no longer received any attention.

    Today, everyone was only focused on Chen Feng!

    Chen Feng, who never had a chance to counterattack against all the usations against him all this while, had, for the first time, cleaned up all the usations against him and transformed into one of the most promising seeded participant!

    At night, the second match officially ended.

    When Qin Hai and the rest came out, with astonishment, they found that one person was missing. "Where¡¯s Zhao Tian?"

    "Dead." The first one to end his match, Lin Ke, had with his own eyes witnessed Zhao Tian¡¯s death. He gulped before continuing, "He died during the match. After the employees carried his body away, they only replied with the words ¡®brain dead.¡¯"

    Shua!

    The area instantly sunk into silence.

    Brain dead?

    Dying in the real world?

    Everyone inhaled cold breaths.

    "Digital battle!"

    Qin Hai had a solemn expression in his eyes. "Chen Feng is actually well-versed in digital battles?"

    "Not only him, Zhao Tian as well." Lin Ke was previously somewhat close to Zhao Tian. "However, being able to insta-kill Zhao Tian, not even giving him a chance to escape, this means Chen Feng is extremely powerful in digital battles!"

    Everyone sunk into silence.

    The so-called alliance of nine had been suffering defeat after defeat right off the bat. One defeated, one dead. It was simply pointless to continue this alliance.

    "You all need to be careful," Lin Ke said in a low voice, "especially during the digital battle stage!"

    Alliance?

    No one mentioned it anymore.

    The so-called alliance was primarily established due to Chen Feng being too weak and bringing shame to the top 10. The alliance had been established to prove the dignity and strength of the top 10!

    And now?

    Chen Feng had defeated two of them in a row, proving his strength!

    Now...

    They needed to start worrying about themselves!

    "Just go back and make our preparations." Qin Hai waved his hand. He possessed powerful strength as well, so there was naturally no need for him to fear Chen Feng. However, it was different for the others. A slight mistake might cause them their life!

    Everyone left.

    Qin Hai sunk into contemtion.

    He initially believed that victory was within his grasp. However, nothing seemed to be proceeding smoothly.

    After the failure in their first encounter, he had started taking it seriously. However, it was still one failure after another! And now, he had, for the first time, felt the sense of helplessness that only his opponents felt in the past.

    Victory was not something that could be achieved by simply being serious!

    So, this time, it¡¯s different than the past?

    Powerlessness...

    This was an extremely unfamiliar feeling for him.

    Regardless of how many trump cards Chen Feng showed, Qin Hai had always been clear that his strength surpassed Chen Feng¡¯s, just like the opponents he had encountered in the past.

    However, even so, the one who ended up victorious every single time was Chen Feng!

    The only rank Qin Hai was confident in getting was second ce.

    Why?

    He had no idea.

    "Chen Feng," Qin Hai mumbled this name.

    How much stronger than Chen Feng did he need to be in order to defeat him?

    Sea City.

    Within arge hotel.

    Qin Hai¡¯s butler wasmunicating with the people from the Qin family.

    "Is Little Hai alright?"

    "He should be feeling somewhat bewildered since Chen Feng has temporarily surpassed him, right? However, when he finally rearranges his thoughts, he will reach a higher height. Chen Feng¡¯s appearance is a good thing for him."

    "Understood."

    "It¡¯s fine for him to temper himself a bit here. However, he must still obtain the final first ce!"

    "Don¡¯t worry."

    "This child, Qin Hai, has never disappointed us."

    Outside the window, the night seemed darker.

    Time passed.

    Currently, in the virtualpany rest room, Huang He and the rest were doingst minute studies on digital battles. Their goal was very simple. Even if they couldn¡¯t defeat Chen Feng in a digital battle, they should, at the very least, be able to escape before using their gene reagents to face him!

    In this aspect, they were far stronger than Chen Feng.

    However, they soon experienced what a nightmare was like.

    After Zhao Tian forcefully initiated a digital battle with him, a brand new world was opened wide before Chen Feng. He discovered a single fact. Why should he wait for others to challenge him in a digital battle?

    Since this was eptable by the rules of thepetition, he could initiate digital battles as well!

    Thereupon...

    Third match, Chen Feng vs Jing Hui, victory!

    Fourth match, Chen Feng vs Lu Yi, victory!

    Fifth match, Chen Feng vs Deng Li, victory!

    Sixth match, Chen Feng vs Huang He, victory!

    Four matches in a row.

    Four wins in a row!

    Chen Feng hadn¡¯t even produced many gene reagents. After discovering his enemy, he would forcefully initiate a digital battle. Next, he would destroy them in the digitized world!

    Despite these people possessing a certain amount of know-how in regards to digital battles, they were still not Chen Feng¡¯s match.

    However, against these opponents who had not posed much problem to him, Chen Feng found no need to kill them. As long as they surrendered, he would ept it.

    Soon, Chen Feng earned six points.

    "666666666."

    "Dominating everyone present!"

    "I feel like Zhao Tian opened Pandora¡¯s box..."

    "Hahaha, same here."

    "Too terrifying!"

    "This is Chen Feng¡¯s true form!"

    The chat in the livestream room was spammed furiously.

    Previously, every time Chen Feng was attacked, they felt ack of confidence when they hit back against the critics. However, now that Chen Feng was dominating everyone present, they felt refreshed!

    Incredibly carefree!

    Delighted!

    They had an urgency to scream loudly:

    Who¡¯s next?!

    This is Chen Feng!

    This is the strongest producer!

 Chapter 152: Tricked Chen Feng

    Chapter 152: Tricked Chen Feng

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Too strong," arge amount of people muttered.

    Regardless of the type of digital defense one possessed, regardless of how powerful one was, before Chen Feng¡¯s red sh, everyone would be destroyed.

    Insta-kill!

    Up till now, no one was aware of how he aplished that.

    No one knew why Chen Feng¡¯s digital attack was so powerful.

    Too terrifying!

    "He won¡¯t ughter his way to first ce just like this, right?"

    Some were shaken.

    "You think too much."

    "Granted, Chen Feng has defeated six opponents. However, the remaining three are the figureheads among the top 10, especially Yun Xiaoduo and Qin Hai! Do you think that with their background, they won¡¯t be well-versed in digital battles? If Chen Feng insists on continuing down this path, he will definitely fall!"

    "I agree."

    Some nodded.

    Chen Feng was very powerful. This was publicly acknowledged. However, if he wanted to crush all opposition with only digital battles?

    Impossible!

    "Wanting to survive till the end, production skills will still y a major role," an old producer said slowly.

    They believed that regardless of Qin Hai or Yun Xiaoduo, they would be able to easily end Chen Feng¡¯s path of insta-killing. However, they did not expect that on only his seventh match, Chen Feng had already encountered trouble.

    Seventh match, Chen Feng vs Bei Ta.

    "Bei Ta?"

    Chen Feng had seen his information.

    Different from Chen Feng, the information about other participants was publicly avable online. Hence, at the beginning of each match, Chen Feng would first weigh the strength of his opponent and proceed to initiate a digital battle against those who were weaker in this aspect to end the battle.

    If his opponent was strong, Chen Feng would first prepare his gene reagents before initiating the digital battle in case those gene reagents would be requiredter. Luckily, up until now, such a situation had never happened.

    As for this Bei Ta?

    His proficiency in digital battles was quite ordinary.

    Chen Feng could definitely win!

    "Let¡¯s continue, then."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were sharp as lighting.

    For a match where a digital battle was sufficient, he would definitely not produce any gene reagents!

    The reason for that was simple¡ªto save up his luck value.

    During the final round, matches would be held daily for a consecutive nine days. Based on the small amount of luck value he had, if he did not use them sparingly, he would not be able tost till the end.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng produced his scouting gene reagent and started looking for Bei Ta.

    However, nothing was found.

    Every trace of Bei Ta was blocked. Even after trying with several different gene reagents, Chen Feng still failed to find any trace of Bei Ta. His opponent had silently concealed himself.

    "Hiding again?"

    Chen Feng frowned.

    Such situations had happened before. If his opponents were to sessfully conceal themselves, he could only wait until the area started closing in.

    "Do you think you can win just by dragging it until the area starts closing in?"

    Chen Feng sneered.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Chen Feng stopped looking for him and started his gene productions. He started to produce all sorts of gene reagents without stop.

    Time passed quietly.

    Soon, they reached the final hour.

    "Hum¡ª"

    The area started closing in!

    "It¡¯s here."

    Chen Feng was stirred.

    However.

    Ten minutes passed...

    Twenty minutes passed...

    Thirty minutes passed...

    Chen Feng did not see anyone appearing. Bei Ta seemed to havepletely disappeared.

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    Chen Feng had an ominous feeling.

    It was already the final 30 minutes, yet he hadn¡¯t even caught a glimpse of Bei Ta.

    Concealment?

    Or...

    Blending with the environment?

    Chen Feng guessed.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    He started using several gene reagents to once again scout for Bei Ta; however, nothing could be found.

    No result whatsoever, like how it had been previously.

    After 10 minutes, Chen Feng had still failed to find Bei Ta.

    At this time, as he saw the faint ck energy that was gradually approaching, Chen Feng had an ominous feeling. This was an opponent he couldn¡¯t see at all!

    This time, things were getting troublesome!

    He looked at the time. There were still 20 minutes left before the end of this match.

    Digital battle?

    He couldn¡¯t even see his opponent, how was he supposed to initiate a digital battle?!

    At this time, in Bei Ta¡¯s livestream room.

    "Damn!"

    "Such a method, too shameless!"

    "This this this..."

    "Dang, one can do this?"

    Everyone was dumbstruck.

    That was because the Bei Ta before them had be a rat and was hiding 100 meters underground. It was simply impossible for Chen Feng to find him!

    "How did he turn into a rat?"

    "Yeah, aren¡¯t gic abilities prohibited?" someone asked.

    Those who had been watching since earlier silently listed the gene reagent used by Bei Ta.

    Limitations: Unable to cancel before the end of the duration

    ----

    "Damn!"

    Everyone was shocked.

    Mutated dark rat?

    The 1 cm small mini life form??

    This...

    No wonder Chen Feng had failed to find him.

    In actuality, this was quite a ridiculous gene form. With a difficulty of 5-star E ss, it could only help its user transform their body. Furthermore, the transformation couldn¡¯t be changed as one wished. However, if it was used during some specific situations...

    This was a bug-like existence!

    For example, here.

    This was in actuality a way of obtaining victory through trickery.

    However, as long as no rules were vited, who cared?

    Wasn¡¯t this precisely the way in which Chen Feng had obtained his previous victories? One could only say that karma existed. Chen Feng had used some tricks to secure victory. Now, someone else was using such methods against him as well!

    "6666666."

    "Karma indeed."

    "Hahaha, I am suddenly very curious as to what expression will be on Chen Feng¡¯s face when he loses this match."

    "+1."

    A huge number of people were happily gossiping.

    Chen Feng had tricked way too many people previously.

    Now, even when he had finally disyed his capability, when facing someone who used a trick to win, everyone¡¯s first reaction was to see how Chen Feng react to getting tricked.

    Bei Ta¡¯s goal was extremely clear.

    Waiting.

    Waiting for the power that was closing in and restricting the area to kill Chen Feng.

    One had to know that, ording to the rules, during the final hour, as time passed, the area in which one could move in would reduce until it became a single point.

    As for Bei Ta?

    He was moving underground!

    The underground was restricted in a simr fashion as above ground as well.

    However...

    Bei Ta¡¯s size was small!

    The mutated dark rat was only as big as one¡¯s fingertip and possessed an ability to blend with the environment on top of it.

    How was Chen Feng supposed to catch him?

    Moreover, the dark rat possessed a certain degree of resistance against such corrosive energy. Hence, even if they were to suffer the energy corrosion at the same time, Chen Feng would be the one to die first.

    "This..."

    "Seems to be the same as Chen Feng¡¯s fourth round?"

    "6666666."

    Everyone recalled the android used during the fourth round. Chen Feng had used a simr suicidal method to defeat his opponents. Now, Bei Ta was returning the favor!

    The area became smaller due to the restriction, to the point where the size of the active area was now a small circle which one could clearly see with one look.

    At this time, only 15 minutes were left before the end of match.

    In the virtualpany building.

    Gao Yunfeng did not know whether he shouldugh or cry as he looked at this match.

    Indeed, any match with Chen Feng in it would have a weird rhythm.

    The previous few rounds were same. The current round was still the same. However, this time, Chen Feng was the victim, suffering from Bei Ta¡¯s trick.

    However...

    What was with the tinge of evilness that he seemed to be giving off currently?

    Gao Yunfeng felt like he was somewhat taking joy in the cmity of Chen Feng.

    "Cough cough."

    He quickly readjusted his state of mind.

    As the one who¡¯d set the rules, how could he be jeering at the participants?

    It could not happen!

    However, that faint trace of a smile at the corner of his lips could not be hidden no matter what. Someone doing something simr¡ªChen Feng, can you discover a way to break out of this predicament?

    Currently, in the simted environment for the final confrontation, Chen Feng frowned as he looked at the approaching corrosive energy.

    Distantly, everywhere that energy passed would turn to ruin. Vegetation would dry up, losing its vitality. He definitely could not touch this energy!

    However¡ª

    Where was that Bei Ta guy?

    He had yet to appear!

    "Waiting for a sneak attack?"

    Chen Feng believed that Bei Ta might have used some ability to conceal himself, waiting for an opportunity to ambush him. Hence, he had been maintaining his vignce and waiting until now.

    "Could it be..."

    Chen Feng suddenly thought of something.

    Tricks?

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes widened, and he had an unbelievable feeling.

    Dang...

    Someone was trying to trick him?

    He finally understood.

    This Bei Ta guy was nning to hide himself and die together with him!

    Now that his thoughts were redirected to the correct direction, the rest became easier to guess. Chen Feng was able to quickly deduce the methods that Bei Ta might have used. Hence, he stayed where he was and waited for Bei Ta to show himself.

    As the active area was going to close in, Chen Feng¡¯s thoughts were extremely simple. The surface ground was not the only area that would start closing in. This applied to underground and the skies as well.

    The whole area would close in spherically.

    Hence.

    When only three meters of active area remained, Bei Ta would definitely show himself. That was because the remaining space was simply insufficient for the both of them.

    However, even in the final two minutes, when the area remaining was now less than three meters, Bei Ta was still hidden!

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    Chen Feng bombarded everywhere around him, yet no traces of Bei Ta could be found.

    "This guy..."

    Chen Feng frowned.

    Was it some special gene reagent?

    Chen Feng could vaguely guess something. His opponent might have used some special ability to hide. Even if the opponent was right before him, he would not be able to see his opponent!

    "Bang!"

    An explosion of me.

    Chen Feng threw down a gene reagent onto the ground.

    The earth trembled.

    Yet no abnormality was found.

    At this time, the viewers in Bei Ta¡¯s room wereughing crazily.

    "I¡¯m afraid Chen Feng is going to suffer defeat here."

    "I think so too."

    Everyone was happily gossiping.

    Even asyman viewers, they were able to see that Bei Ta was right beside Chen Feng, waiting for the match to end. However, Chen Feng had not noticed it. Furthermore, the mutated dark rat was too small and hadpleted blended into the environment, assuming an appearance of a small clump of soil that looked the same as the other clumps of soil around it.

    That gene reagent thrown by Chen Feng earlier had actually hit Bei Ta. However...

    Bei Ta was now an E-ss mutated beast with a tenfold increase in his defense!

    A mere low level gene reagent like this, how was it possible for him to be hurt?

    "He¡¯s still not showing himself?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed with a cold glint.

    Without finding out how Bei Ta had concealed himself, he simply had no means to locate Bei Ta!

    Concealment?

    Bing smaller?

    Or perhaps...

    Transforming into a speck of dust and drifting around in the air?

    Or perhaps...

    Turning into something else and attaching to his clothes?

    Or perhaps...

    Turning into bacteria and hidden on his body?

    All these were possible!

    When Chen Feng was sweeping through the forms two days ago, Chen Feng had witnessed all sorts of powerful and mysterious gene reagents, especially those 4-star and 5-star E-ss gene reagent forms!

    There were a lot of rare forms with mysterious abilities!

    It was very possible that Bei Ta had mastered one of these.

    "I must find a way to deal with this quickly."

    Chen Feng had a solemn expression.

    Luck Aura?

    Useless!

    As of now, as to where Bei Ta was, what shape he had assumed, what type of transformation he had assumed, Chen Feng was unclear. Even if he were to activate his Luck Aura, Chen Feng had no idea how to direct his Luck Aura to work. Due to the fact that Bei Ta might be using any one of those special abilities, if his train of thought was wrong, he would simply be wasting arge amount of luck values!

    Trying one by one?

    Not enough time!

    What should he do, then?

    Chen Feng contemted.

    Type...

    Shape...

    No!

    None of that was important. The location was the most important thing!

    Then, how should he determine Bei Ta¡¯s position?

    He had always been using Luck Aura on matters concerning probability. This caused Chen Feng to forget that Luck Aura was in itself a nearly omnipotent existence!

    Even if it was not used to affect reality, it was still extremely powerful!

    Only used on probabilities?

    If so, he should simply change his present predicament to a matter of probability!

    For example¡ª

    Chen Feng¡¯s lips curled up forming a smile.

    Shua!

    He closed his eyes and entered the digitized world.

    Rise!

    Earth trembled.

    The gene fragments that formed the earth in his digitized world hovered.

    With a wave of his hand, in ordance to the environment of the simted world his physical body was in, he linked all these gene fragments into one solid line after another, forming a graph midair with him as the point of origin.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng waved his hand.

    In ordance to the color of the gene, he divided the genes into ten different numbers. A messy pile of multicolored numbers was now hovering in midair before him.

    Now¡ª

    It started to resemble some sort of luck number generator.

    "Then¡ª"

    "If a particr number is what I required, isn¡¯t this simply a matter of probability now?" Chen Feng said.

    Now, he merely needed a coordinate.

    "Then..."

    "If I am lucky enough, the numbers represented by these gene fragments that I caught would be the coordinate of Bei Ta?"

    Chen Feng said calmly.

    Despite the probability of him getting this correct being low, this was just what his Luck Aura excelled in.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Chen Feng casually grabbed three times.

    Horizontal coordinate confirmed, one point of luck value consumed.

    Longitudinal coordinate confirmed, one point of luck value consumed.

    Altitude coordinate confirmed, one point of luck value consumed.

    "Here!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    Bang!

    Leaving the digitized world, Chen Feng grabbed toward a certain location.

    Shua!

    What his hand grabbed was a clump of soil with a peculiar sensation to it.

    Chen Feng sneered. "I caught you!"

    "Damn!"

    "Even with this, he was found?!"

    "!!!!!!!"

    Everyone in the livestream room was stunned.

    At this moment, toward the end of the match, 30 seconds remained!

    The corrosive energy was right beside Chen Feng now. He only needed to move slightly and his body woulde into contact with that terrifying energy. Bei Ta only needed to persevere for 30 more seconds and he would be the winner. No one had expected that Chen Feng would catch Bei Ta at this moment!

    How had he done it?

    Nobody knew!

    "This..."

    Everyone was dumbstruck.

    At this moment, the Bei Ta that was grabbed by Chen Feng felt somewhat astonished as well.

    He had never expected that he would be captured by Chen Feng during the final 30 seconds. However, even with this, he was not afraid!

    He was now a mutated dark rat!

    He was without any attacking powers; however, his defense was still at the level of a peak E-ss warrior!

    "Dark Guardian!"

    Without hesitation, he activated the only active skill the mutated dark rat possessed to instantly increase his defense by a tenfold. This meant that he currently possessed an absolute defense at the level of a peak D-ss warrior!

    30 seconds?

    No one was able to damage him!

    Bei Ta stared at Chen Feng loftily. "You have insufficient time."

    "Are you sure?" Chen Feng had a faint smile.

    Bei Ta was confident. "Even Qin Hai is not capable of breaking this defense of mine!"

    "Kid, you don¡¯t know what strength is."

    Chen Feng sneered before casually tossing that clump of soil in his hand into the restricted area that was filled with the corrosive energy.

    "Ah¡ª"

    A mournful scream resounded.

    Bei Ta, dead!

    Shua!

    Match ended!

    Chen Feng, victory!

    "Hua¡ª"

    The livestream room went into an uproar.

 Chapter 154: Gene Armament!

    Chapter 154: Gene Armament!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Bei Ta is dead?"

    Everyone had stupefied expressions.

    No one had expected the Bei Ta that was still showing off his prowess one moment ago to be instantly found and tossed out to be devoured by the corrosive energy.

    Tenfold defense?

    Simply a joke.

    "How did he find Bei Ta?"

    Everyone was bewildered.

    Mutated dark rat was a peculiar life form with almost zero attack power. However, due to its small size and its extremely powerful concealment capabilities, even those who were one ss higher than it would fail to locate it. After Bei Ta transformed, he had almost perfectly disyed all the capabilities of a mutated dark rat. However, Chen Feng...

    Only used one second!

    "Who knows?"

    Everyone else was confused as well. No one had seen clearly how he did it.

    Chen Feng seemed to have only closed his eyes, but when he reopened his eyes, he directly caught Bei Ta.

    "Probably some powerful scouting reagent," someone guessed.

    "That¡¯s possible."

    The rest nodded their heads.

    Seemed like Chen Feng¡¯s umtion was truly much more terrifying than they had imagined.

    "Pity."

    Countless people expressed their regret.

    They were originally hoping to see Chen Feng defeated by a trick once and experience the feeling of having been tricked. Unexpectedly, Bei Ta¡¯s trick had been easily foiled by Chen Feng.

    As for Bei Ta¡¯s defeat?

    They did not find that surprising.

    The amount of umtion Chen Feng had disyed so far was above Bei Ta¡¯s. Hence, it was to be expected that Chen Feng would be victorious. Right at this moment, an astonishing piece of news appeared as well.

    Qin Hai vs Yun Xiaoduo, Qin Hai¡¯s victory!

    "Hua¡ª"

    Everyone was rmed.

    Yun Xiaoduo was defeated?

    One had to know that, despite Qin Hai¡¯s strength, currently, Yun Xiaoduo was the one holding the advantage. A single Yun Xiaoduo was in actuality equivalent to three people.

    Although the little donkey was the only one capable of producing genes among the trio, the big yellow ball and Yun Xiaoduo could both help with material gathering. When battling, they could help activate the produced gene reagents as well.

    It was simply equivalent to 3 vs 1.

    Under such circumstances, she was still defeated?!

    "What happened?"

    Everyone entered Xiao Yunduo¡¯s livestream room one after another.

    "Ah ah ah ah ah, too pitiful!"

    "After resisting for so long, she still ended up defeated."

    "I feel so angry."

    The chat was spammed furiously.

    Everyone scrolled back the chat history and found the reason for Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s defeat.

    Gene armament!

    A product that would usually only be used by high-level producers.

    One had to know that, for the producers at the level of those high-level producers, ordinary gene reagents were no longer effective. One had an E-ss attack gene reagent? Well, the opponent had an E-ss defensive gene reagent.

    Both would have a huge amount of gene reagents prepared, with none of them able to do anything to the other.

    In such a situation, if one wanted to obtain victory, one had to utilize their production level and known forms to produce a type of gene reagent that was much more powerful!

    Hence¡ª

    Gene armament came into existance.

    The so-called gene armament was simply something created by assembling multiple gene reagents together. Multiple gene reagents would perfectly fuse together,plementing each other to disy an astonishing effect!

    In other words, this was the gene producers¡¯ version of a secret art!

    Assembling multiple gene reagents together in order to unleash a more powerful effect!

    An example of this would be Lin Ke¡¯s mechanical armor set!

    When everyone first saw Lin Ke¡¯s energy armor, they only felt that it was something new. They don¡¯t quite understand the concept behind it, but they found it cool. None of them had imagined that Lin Ke¡¯s armor was actually apleted armament!

    One had to know that, despite the fact that Lin Ke was insta-killed by Chen Feng, during his subsequent matches, his armor still disyed a terrifying power, causing him to be undefeated!

    Even in his match against Qin Hai, he had almost obtained victory!

    This was the strength of a gene armament!

    During Yun Xiaoduo and Qin Hai¡¯s final confrontation, under circumstances where both their gene reagents failed to have any effect on each other, ultimately, it became a confrontation between gene armaments.

    Qin Hai possessed a gene armament assembled by 11 types of gene reagents. After assembling them, a huge energy ball would be created that could be used to bombard his opponent!

    Yun Xiaoduo possessed a gene armament assembled by 15 types of gene reagents. With these, an extremely powerful cannon with an extremely long attack range was formed. It was also capable of automatically locking on all targets within its field of vision and possessed a powerful attacking method by raining down never-ending shots.

    On paper, Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s gene armament was more powerful.

    The amount of gene reagents and gene materials required by it was much higher than what Qin Hai required. However, due to their simted environment being a huge maze-like cave, Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s super-powerful cannon was incapable of disying its true power. Finally, at a certain corner of the cave, she was insta-killed by Qin Hai.

    "What a pity."

    "There¡¯s really nothing one can do about it in such a situation."

    Everyone felt regretful.

    The strongest gene armament being restrained by the simted environment? That was simply akin to a manmade disaster!

    As of now, the seventh match had officially ended.

    Chen Feng, seven points.

    Qin Hai, seven points.

    Yun Xiaoduo, six points.

    Lin Ke, five points.

    ...

    That¡¯s right.

    After being defeated by Chen Feng, Lin Ke had still managed to crush all opposition by relying on the power of his gene armament, obtaining 5 points and ranking fourth!

    From this, one could see how powerful a gene armament was.

    "Seems like Lin Ke will only be able to get fourth ce."

    "Mhm, with Chen Feng¡¯s rise, there¡¯s no ce left for Lin Ke."

    "There are only two more matches left. These three should be the final top three..."

    Someone suddenly realized something.

    Top three!

    In the battle of the top 10, the purpose was not only to select the champion. There was also the top three! However, before this round had started, no one had expected that this would be theposition of the final top three.

    Chen Feng!

    Qin Hai!

    Yun Xiaoduo!

    As for the rest of the rankings? Nobody cared.

    Qin Hai, never defeated, and might obtain either first or second ce!

    Yun Xiaoduo, defeated once, might obtain either second or third ce!

    As for Chen Feng, there was a possibility for him to obtain any of the three ces!

    "Well, let¡¯s see how they do in the next match, then."

    Everyone was looking forward to it.

    In the fifth round, there were a total of nine matches. Chen Feng had already gone through seven matches, with only his matches against Yun Xiaoduo and Qin Hai remaining. These two were also the most anticipated matchups.

    Final rankings?

    The subsequent matches would determine it!

    At this moment, they suddenly thought of a question: "Does Chen Feng have any gene armaments?"

    "No idea."

    The rest shook their head.

    Gene armaments were not something everyone possessed. Due to the high amount of fusion, tests, and research required, a huge amount of resources were required to support all this. It was simply something an ordinary person would not be able to possess.

    Hence, even among the top 10, so far, only three of them were seen to possess a gene armament.

    Lin Ke, Qin Hai, Yun Xiaoduo!

    Did Chen Feng possess one?

    No one knew.

    However, the possibility of him having one was very low.

    "It¡¯s going to get difficult for him."

    Everyone was anxious.

    During the previous matches, Chen Feng had proved the umtion he had, giving him the qualifications to challenge these geniuses! However, without a gene armament, he could only obtain third ce!

    When a gene armament appeared among intermediate gene producers, it was simply a weapon of mass destruction.

    It was also with this that Lin Ke had the confidence to obtain the third ce. Unfortunately, after his unexpected insta-kill in Chen Feng¡¯s hand, he could only settle for fourth ce. However...

    Was there any hope for Chen Feng?

    Nope!

    "Chen Feng?"

    Lin Ke sneered.

    After the match ended, he found out Chen Feng¡¯s results as well.

    Against this guy who had used some tricks to defeat him, he had only a negative opinion! If they were to have a head-on confrontation, his gene armament would absolutely beat Chen Feng so badly that even Chen Feng¡¯s mom wouldn¡¯t recognize him when Lin Ke was done.

    "Xiaoduo, defeat Chen Feng for me." Lin Ke looked at Yun Xiaoduo. "If you end up defeated, I will tell my dad to propose a marriage to your family."

    "You dare?!" Yun Xiaoduo immediately started raging.

    She was simply not interested in marrying this pretty boy!

    Lin Ke¡¯s expression turned unsightly. "Fight your match properly, then."

    "Hmph, do I need you to teach me that?" Yun Xiaoduo clenched her teeth. "I can finally have my payback for my insta-kill at this guy¡¯s hands previously. Hmmph hmmph. I myself am even more looking forward to defeating Chen Feng than you!"

    "Isn¡¯t that right, little donkey?" She patted the little donkey beside her.

    "Ao¡ª" The little donkey howled with both its ears erected and a red glow in its eyes.

    Ice cream!!!

    Lin Ke was immediately speechless.

    Not far away, Qin Hai nodded toward them before getting up and leaving.

    "This guy is looking somewhat weird."

    Lin Ke frowned.

    Despite being the most powerful person there, Qin Hai was still quite good-natured when facing others. Regardless of how genuine he actually was, his smile nevertheless always gave off afortable feeling to others.

    Now, though, his smile appeared like a fake smile.

    Lin Ke could even feel a sinister feeling from his smile.

    "Hmph." Yun Xiaoduo curled her lips. "I suppose after he won against me, he¡¯s now looking down on me."

    That doesn¡¯t seem to be the case.

    Lin Ke narrowed his eyes.

    Despite him having a lower amount ofbat experience, in no way did that mean he was stupid as well. Something was definitely wrong with this Qin Hai guy!

    "Hopefully it¡¯s simply a misconception of mine," Lin Ke mumbled.

    Night passed.

    Early next morning, at ten sharp, the eighth round begun. Chen Feng vs Yun Xiaoduo!

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    Automatic map selection.

    When a simted environment appeared, almost everyone inhaled a mouthful of cold air. That was because the selected environment was the well-known Volcanic Isle in the real world.

    At the middle of the ind was a huge volcano.

    From the summit of the volcano, one would have a clear view of the whole ind. For Yun Xiaoduo, this signified that the most optimal field of vision and the most optimal shooting range for her gene armament would be avable for her!

 Chapter 155: The Hidden Sinister of Yun Xiaoduo

    Chapter 155: The Hidden Sinister of Yun Xiaoduo

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Damn!"

    "Volcanic Isle!"

    "It¡¯s actually this ce!"

    Everyone was stunned.

    For Yun Xiaoduo, this was simply the best environment for her. The moment she upied the high ground, Chen Feng¡¯s death was assured.

    Indeed, as soon as the match started, Yun Xiaoduo charged toward the volcano¡¯s summit without hesitation. After five minutes, she was standing on the summit. After ten minutes, her cannon was sessfully produced.

    "Bang!"

    The first attack shot toward Chen Feng.

    What is that?

    Chen Feng had an ominous feeling and desperately dodged the attack.

    "Bang!"

    An energy beamnded on the ground, creating a huge crater behind Chen Feng.

    ??

    Chen Feng was speechless.

    What on earth is this? It¡¯s only ten minutes in!

    Scout!

    Chen Feng activated his scouting gene and looked at the volcano summit. He was able to immediately see clearly the situation Yun Xiaoduo was in. That was because Yun Xiaoduo simply did not intend to conceal herself.

    A super-huge energy cannon had been constructed on a tform and was aimed at Chen Feng.

    A huge clump of a yellow shaggy ball was moving everywhere, gathering materials, while a little donkey was producing genes. As for Yun Xiaoduo, she was simply in charge of firing the cannon.

    Each assigned to their own roles.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    This is too excessive! What the f*ck, this is simply three people instead of one! Even if gic abilities are restricted, this is still too shameless!

    Just as Chen Feng was thinking, another energy beam was fired toward him. Chen Feng hastily got out of the way. He looked at Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s position and found that she had the whole ind in her field of vision. There¡¯s simply nowhere for him to hide!

    This was an ind where a volcano was in the middle of the ind, while around the volcano was a huge expanse of forest.

    Chen Feng was within the forest. However, for Yun Xiaoduo, the cover provided by such a forest was simply equivalent to something nonexistence.

    "Let¡¯s hide underground first."

    Chen Feng clenched his teeth.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    Amidst the endless bombardment, Chen Feng hid in a certain gorge.

    Since he was very far from Yun Xiaoduo, it was still quite easy to dodge despite the power of the cannon.

    "This won¡¯t do."

    Chen Feng looked at the youngdy at the summit that was presently immensely proud. If this continued, he might really end up getting bombarded to death.

    "I need to think of something."

    Chen Feng started thinking quickly.

    Yun Xiaoduo had full control of the whole ind, with underground being the only domain she was not able to bombard.

    Hence...

    If he were to hide underground, would he have a chance?

    "Let¡¯s try it out."

    Chen Feng decisively put his thought into action.

    Terrain reconnoitering began.

    Soon, Chen Feng managed to find an underground path. He cautiously crept over there. The underground path he found was leading toward the interior of the volcano.

    "This is not an underground river path."

    Chen Feng was in a solemn mood as he realized that this might be the path created by theva during the volcano¡¯s previous eruptions.

    As he reached the interior of the volcano, Chen Feng looked around. Nothing except the terrifyingva could be seen.

    "Rumble!"

    "Rumble!"

    The scorchingva was bubbling.

    The temperature in here was extremely high. Even Chen Feng would not be able to resist this.

    Leave!

    Since he couldn¡¯t find any other new tunnels, he could only leave. This underground tunnel stretched from the volcano¡¯s interior to the forest. Hence, Chen Feng could randomly find any ce to hide after leaving the interior.

    However, just as he reached the entrance of the tunnel from the volcano¡¯s interior.

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying energy beam descended upon him.

    Not good.

    Chen Feng had a solemn mood as he immediately stopped his step. The entrance before him crumbled down as a result from the shot.

    He was actually found out!

    He abruptly looked toward the summit of the volcano. There, a certain beautiful youngdy proudly said, "Hmph hmph. Naturally, I am too busy to observe everything here. However, I forgot to tell you something. The Volcanic Isle in real life is a ce I have visited before. Hence, I am very clear on the hidden underground paths here."

    "Hehe."

    "Especially the interiors of the volcano..."

    "It¡¯s a natural wonder and is now a tourist attraction. The ice cream I bought for little donkey also melted inside there. The temperature in it is truly quite touching, yoo."

    "Under the bombardment of my cannon, you will definitely hide inside."

    "However..."

    "I will not give you any chance toe out."

    Yun Xiaoduo was all smiles as she looked at Chen Feng, "If you surrender, I will let you out. Otherwise, hmph hmph, you can just stay inside and be roasted like a lobster."

    Hua!

    The live stream rooms instantly erupted into an uproar as the chat was spammed furiously.

    "6666666666666."

    "Seems like there are times when my goddess will be ying tricks as well."

    "The proud and lovable goddess is actually such an sinister person."

    No one had expected the Yun Xiaoduo who was normally dorky could be so sinister, tricking Chen Feng into the interior of the volcano.

    Within, there was only the scalding hotva!

    With an excessively high temperature!

    In the real world, when tourists visited there, they would all be equipped with various equipment to protect themselves and regte their body temperatures. Only with all that were they able to stay inside for several minutes. Otherwise, it was simply impossible for one tost inside there.

    "There won¡¯t be any problems, right?"

    Some of them were worried.

    After all, when Bei Ta had tried to trick Chen Feng earlier, his n was easily foiled by Chen Feng.

    When it came to tricks?

    Chen Feng was simply a senior!

    "It¡¯s different this time." Soon, someone retorted, "Bei Ta failed in his trick due to his strength being too low. As for our goddess Xiaoduo, her strength in itself is higher than Chen Feng¡¯s! Look at this, the moment Chen Feng leaves, he will end up getting bombarded to death. If he stays inside, he can only be roasted to death inside the volcano."

    "Now¡ª"

    "He has no way out!"

    Everyone looked over and found that to be true.

    In a short two minutes, Chen Feng was already sweating profusely.

    "I¡¯m afraid Chen Feng is going to lose."

    "Three vs one is too excessive, right..."

    "I¡¯m afraid Chen Feng can only end up in third ce now."

    Everyone sighed.

    No one had expected that this matchup would end up this way. In a short one hour after the match had begun, Chen Feng was already forced to desperation.

    Someone suddenly thought of something. "If he were to produce some ice reagents to reduce the temperature..."

    Since there were no limits to the materials provided, then if he were to reduce the temperature, he might be able to survive? Since they were able to think of this, naturally, Chen Feng had thought of this as well. Hence, from the livestream room, Chen Feng could be seen starting to gather materials to produce temperature-reducing gene reagents.

    However¡ª

    It was useless!

    In such an environment, the effects of his gene reagents were greatly discounted!

    "The fire elemental energy in this environment is too strong."

    "In such an environment, the efficiency when producing fire-rted gene reagents increases. However, when producing any gene reagents with temperature reduction effect, not even one tenth of its original effect can be retained."

    Everyone felt regretful.

    Since he had failed to reduce the temperature, how long could Chen Fengst?

    No one knew.

    **

    Inside the volcano.

    Chen Feng¡¯s lips were somewhat pale. His whole body was dripping with sweat. Due to the high temperature, he was already somewhat dehydrated. In less than ten minutes, he would definitely die!

    What should I do?

    Chen Feng inhaled.

    The entrance was blocked by Yun Xiaoduo. There was simply no way for him to leave. However, in this special environment here, water and ice type gene reagents had their efficiency greatly reduced. He simply couldn¡¯t do anything.

    Defensive gene reagents?

    Pointless.

    This was not an attack.

    This was simply an environmental effect.

    Chen Feng looked at all the forms he had learnt so far. However, none of these forms were able to get him out of his current predicament.

    Perhaps...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    A defensive gene reagent might not be able to do anything to the high temperature. However, it might be able to defend him against the cannon?

    Chen Feng was tempted to try it out.

    Immediately, he produced a defensive gene reagent. The instant he walked out of the tunnel, the 4-star E-ss defensive gene reagent that he had painstakingly created was bombarded into nothingness by the cannon.

    That cannon possessed too terrifying a might.

    In actuality, that was how things should be.

    The super powerful cannon was a gene armament created by Yun Xiaoduo by assembling a huge amount of 4-star and 5-star E-ss gene reagents. How could an ordinary gene reagent created by Chen Feng defend against such a cannon?

    An exception was the aquarhino gene reagent.

    However...

    Chen Feng looked around him.

    Even if he ignored the probability of sess when producing this gene reagent here and used his luck value toplete the production, in such an environment, the aquarhino gene reagent might have less than one tenth of its power remaining.

    Due to the word aqua in its name!

    This was, after all, still a gene reagent rted to the water element.

    "What should I do, then?" Chen Feng muttered.

    In such an impasse, Luck Aura would not y that big a role.

    "Am I going to die here?"

    Chen Feng felt somewhat regretful.

    He was already at the top three!

    Two more steps and he would be in first ce!

    However...

    He had still ended up defeated here.

    "I really can¡¯t ept this," Chen Feng mumbled.

    After arriving in this world, this was the first time he¡¯d fought hard for a specific goal. For this Gene Rookie Competition, he had truly spent too much time preparing.

    Can I really not get first ce?

    Chen Feng clenched his fists.

    Drip! Drip!

    His sweat kept dripping without stop.

    Chen Feng¡¯s lip was already very pale now due to dehydration.

    Bang.

    Far away, the scalding hotva was bubbling, filled with a terrifying power. As Chen Feng stared at that expanse of red, suddenly, he nked like a person who was captivated by something.

    Lava...

    Temperature...

    Volcano...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    Perhaps¡ªthere¡¯s still a chance!

    Currently.

    In the virtual livestream room, everyone watched on as Chen Feng proceeded with his final struggle. Under Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s scheme, he simply had no way of surviving.

    Even his movement was now somewhat sluggish.

    "I don¡¯t think he canst any longer."

    "He seems to be producing some gene reagent."

    "It¡¯s still going to be pointless. In such an environment, any temperature-reducing gene reagents will be ineffective."

    "No, that seems to be some temperature increasing gene reagent."

    Some recognized that gene reagent and had odd expressions on their faces.

    "What?"

    Everyone nked.

    Temperature increase?

    Was he sick?

    In such a situation, he was still thinking of increasing the temperature?

    "Wait, look at the rest of the gene reagents he has produced," someone reminded.

    Everyone looked over, and the expressions on their faces changed greatly.

    Mutated extreme heat gene reagent: Greatly increasing the temperature within a certain radius.

    Mutated parched heat gene reagent: Triggering the particles within a certain radius, increasing their reactivity.

    Mutated ergement gene reagent: Increasing the size of the objects within a certain radius by tenfold.

    Mutated catalysis gene reagent: Increasing the reactivity of everything within a certain radius.

    ...

    Several tens of gene reagents possessing a simr type of ability were produced by Chen Feng. Furthermore, all of them were mutated gene reagents.

    "The heck, what is he nning?!"

 Chapter 156: Troublemaker

    Chapter 156: Troublemaker

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Could it be..."

    Everyone finally thought of something.

    "Are you saying..."

    The rest inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    Was that possible?

    In the real world, it was naturally impossible.

    But here...

    With an unlimited supply of materials!

    Moreover, these gene reagents of Chen Feng¡¯s were already quite powerful in their base forms. In the current special environment, their power was increased by several folds. And coupled with the mutations on top of that...

    No one could imagine the power these gene reagents could now unleash.

    "That shouldn¡¯t be the case, right?"

    Some of the viewers gulped. Chen Feng wouldn¡¯t be so crazy, right?

    However, at the next instant, they saw Chen Feng toss all the gene reagents into theva before franticly rushing out the tunnel. Right at this moment, the earth started trembling.

    "Bang!"

    A gust of terrifying power soared straight into the sky.

    At the volcano¡¯s summit, Yun Xiaoduo felt some sudden changes in the energy around her.

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    Yun Xiaoduo blinked her eyes.

    Her cannon was still aimed straight at the entrance. She knew that, during the final moments, Chen Feng would definitely try something. She believed that this was merely him struggling before his impending death.

    "Hmph hmph."

    "This time, I must kill you."

    Yun Xiaoduo was excited.

    Right at this moment, she finally saw Chen Feng¡¯s silhouette.

    "You are indeed out."

    Yun Xiaoduo was feeling happy.

    Shua!

    The cannon locked onto Chen Feng!

    However, right at this moment, the little donkey beside her suddenly started biting her clothes and dragging her as it retreated.

    "What are you doing?"

    Yun Xiaoduo had a perplexed expression. She could vaguely felt that something wasn¡¯t right.

    It was at this moment that...

    "Bang!"

    A gust of astonishing energy erupted from beneath her feet.

    "Bang!"

    Terrifyingva soared up to the skies.

    At this moment, the whole piece of sky above the Volcanic Isle turned red.

    "This..."

    Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s face paled.

    She finally understood what had happened!

    "Bang!"

    As the terrifyingva rushed forth, Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s expression changed greatly as she frantically escaped with both her pets. However, how could she make it out at this time?

    Apart from being the position with the best field of vision, the volcano summit was also the spot where theva erupted.

    "Bang!"

    The Yun Xiaoduo trio was engulfed byva.

    Faintly, one could hear Yun Xiaoduo indignantly scream in her final moments, "Chen Feng!"

    "Bang!"

    A wave of even more terrifyingva erupted.

    Currently, Chen Feng had juste out of the tunnel entrance. Behind him, a river ofva could be seen rushing along the underground path he was in.

    Everywhere theva passed, not a single living organism was left behind.

    This was a disaster!

    "Hu¡ª"

    Chen Feng exhaled in relief.

    Is it over?

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    The firm volcanic rock behind him started trembling.

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    This is bad! I overdid it!

    He originally believed that the volcanic rock would be able to obstruct the eruptingva. After all, in a situation where a tunnel was avable, theva would simply flow like a river along the avable tunnel. Unexpectedly, the eruption this time was too terrifying. This small tunnel was simply incapable of containing such a powerful eruption.

    "Bang!"

    The volcanic rock behind him copsed instantly.

    Terrifyingva gushed out of it, heading toward Chen Feng.

    Shit!

    Chen Feng escaped frantically.

    Just as he was about to be caught up by the flowingva.

    Shua!

    Time itself seemed to pause.

    End of match!

    I won?

    Chen Feng was perspiring all over.

    Finally... it¡¯s over.

    Chen Feng gasped. He had never expected that Yun Xiaoduo would actually be able to survive for so long in theva. It seemed like Yun Xiaoduo still had some defensive trump cards in her hand!

    However...

    Chen Feng shook his head.

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    Chen Feng returned to the real world.

    Eighth match, Chen Feng¡¯s victory, Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s defeat!

    "Bang!"

    Everyone in the livestream rooms was shaken.

    The viewers who had watched as everything unfolded were more shocked than anyone else. This was especially true for that final eruption, that moment when the disaster descended!

    With the virtual technology, they¡¯d felt like they were personally there at the location.

    At that moment, they almost believed that they were going to be submerged within theva.

    Countless people were so shocked they ejected out of the virtual world back into the real world.

    Chen Feng had won. Using an inconceivable method.

    "He actually caused a volcanic explosion," countless people muttered.

    Up until now, these people still couldn¡¯t believe that Chen Feng could be so crazy.

    This madman!

    The purpose of environment simtion was to give everyone a more immersive experience. Within, everything was exactly the same as in real life. However, everyone had neglected one crucial factor.

    To kill using the environment!

    An almost wless strategy!

    Using such a method, Chen Feng had shocked everyone.

    As for Yun Xiaoduo?

    She had gained her initial sess due to the environment, and she was finally defeated due to the environment as well.

    Due to this special terrain, she had upied the tallest summit, using her long range cannon to hunt for Chen Feng. Due to her familiarity with the terrain here, she¡¯d tricked Chen Feng into the interior of the volcano. However, it was also due to this very terrain that she¡¯d be the very first casualty to the eruptingva.

    "Truly..."

    Everyone remained dazed for a long time.

    This time, they truly did not know how to evaluate this match.

    The only feeling they had was shock.

    **

    In the virtualpany building, Gao Yunfeng was speechless for a long time as well after seeing that final victory screen of Chen Feng.

    Such a manner of battling exists? Is this guy still a human? Why is his brain working in a totally different way than others?

    Gao Yunfeng was too tired to even say anything about this.

    Volcanic Isle!

    This was a map that they had used countless times. Even in the previous Gene Rookie Competitions, this map would definitely appear at least once in every final confrontation.

    However, nobody had ever used such a method to obtain victory!

    Simply...

    Gao Yunfeng sighed. "I think this grandson is simply here to harm me, right?"

    He knew that, after this match, the amount of reports he needed to write would once again increase greatly.

    Since such an incident had happened, this map, Volcanic Isle, would most probably be temporarily prohibited from futurepetitions. Otherwise, if everyone were to use such a method in the future...

    Simply imagining that caused him to perspire all over.

    Oh.

    Not only this.

    All sorts of maps where the terrain might be manipted to kill would be prohibited!

    As he attentively checked the other maps, there indeed existed maps where one might be able to use some unusual methods to trigger a tsunami, earthquake, or other types of natural disasters. Over half of their maps end up prohibited due to this.

    "Truly..."

    Gao Yunfeng could only smile bitterly.

    This single explosion of Chen Feng¡¯s was simply world-shaking.

    "Hopefully nothing will happen in the final match."

    Gao Yunfeng could only pray. At this point, more than anyone else, he wished that thispetition would end quickly, because the participants in this year¡¯spetition were simply too terrifying.

    At this time, the act of using the terrain or environment to kill had flooded the whole inte.

    Newspapers, learning forum...

    Those who had not witnessed this live were all shocked.

    Chen Feng, a person who was always able to use some never-thought-of-before method to obtain victory when everyone believed that death was certain for him. His battling methods were always capable of captivating everyone!

    "I¡¯m converting from a hater to a fanboy!"

    "You can¡¯t not respect this."

    "The first time, it might¡¯ve been luck. The second time, it might¡¯ve been a fluke. But now... this is his real strength!"

    "Powerful!"

    Everyone started discussing spiritedly.

    On the other hand, everyone in the learning forum was discussing about the volcanic eruption. Based on avable information, the volcano on the Volcanic Isle was ssified as A ss!

    As for Chen Feng?

    He had used a peculiar method to induce the volcano to erupt.

    Inducing?

    Why did one have to use an attack to cause an explosion?

    Sometime, as long as a suitable method was used, it would be sufficient.

    It was said that, due to this match, the denizens near the real life Volcanic Isle all moved out of their homes. The local Gic Union also organized an emergency mission to blockade the whole Volcanic Isle.

    The scenic tourist attraction there had temporarily stopped operating.

    The repercussions of this match were extremely huge. In actuality, a lot of research schrs knew of some simr methods to cause this volcanic eruption. However, Chen Feng was the one who had announced this method to the world.

    In order to stop others from imitating the same thing, they could only blockade the ind.

    Chen Feng was once again trending worldwide despite the fact that he had yet to win first ce.

    Furthermore, Chen Feng¡¯s poprity had, for the first time, exceeded Qin Hai¡¯s, his livestream room bing the most popr room among the participants.

    "I am suddenly looking forward to Chen Feng¡¯s victory."

    "Haha, same here."

    "Compared to Qin Hai¡¯s textbook-like mainstream methods, I much prefer Chen Feng¡¯s methods of doing things."

    Everyone discussed spiritedly.

    In the learning forum.

    In a thread titled "Who do you think will be the final champion tomorrow?", Chen Feng¡¯s supporters exceeded 62% of the voters, 38% higher than Qin Hai¡¯s supporters.

    Chen Feng!

    Chen Feng!

    Almost every single topic there was rted to Chen Feng.

    Along with Chen Feng¡¯s emergence, Qin Hai had silently fallen out of the altar he was previously on as the number one among the youth.

    This heated atmosphere was despite the fact that the final match had yet to begin.

    There was really nothing one could do about this. The effects of Chen Feng¡¯s action were too powerful. In simpler words, Chen Feng was simply a troublemaker. In almost every single match he was in, Chen Feng would be causing trouble despite the fact that he was in fact seriouslypeting in thepetition.

    As for Qin Hai?

    He would forever be doing things in a manner that conformed to the norms. After a long time, others would naturally start feeling tired of this.

    Currently, in the Qin family, as the elders of the Qin family saw the newspaper headlines and the threads in the learning forum, they felt immensely confused.

    Why had things turned out this way?

    Had Qin Hai done anything wrong?

    Nope!

    Everything had been done in ordance to the n, and everything had proceeded smoothly.

    Winning every match he was in,Qin Hai had continuously obtained eight points in a row, a legend-like feat. However, even with this, Qin Hai¡¯s poprity was still dropping crazily?

    Why?

    Was it due to the fact that Zhao Tian had been killed by Chen Feng, causing Qin Hai to have one less match?

    That shouldn¡¯t have had too big of an effect.

    Death was simply an isted incident.

    After Zhao Tian¡¯s death, when the other participants were matched against Zhao Tian, they would automatically gain one point. This was also a special rule set by the Gene Production Association. The reason for this rule was to discourage the participants from killing others.

    Despite the fact that the digital battles couldn¡¯t be prohibited due to it being part of gene production, they still wished that nobody would die.

    Hence, if one killed their opponent, the others would be receiving free points.

    Was this the reason for the drop in Qin Hai¡¯s poprity?

    Obviously, this wasn¡¯t the reason.

    The drop in his poprity was not due to him not being excellent enough. Instead, it was because a person that was much more captivating had appeared, a terrifying person.

    A person who possessed only 250 points of his spirit attribute.

    A person who was only a 20-star beginner producer!

    "Chen Feng..."

    Quietly, those from the Qin family muttered this name.

    In the living room, a middle-aged man said with a faint smile on his face, "I don¡¯t want to see anything unexpected happening."

    "Don¡¯t worry," someone from the Qin family said, "Qin Hai will definitely be the champion."

    "I know," the middle-aged man said unhurriedly. "This is also the reason I am working together with your Qin family, because I believe in Qin Hai¡¯s strength. If he fails to obtain first ce..."

    "There is no need for your Qin family to continue existing either."

    Shua!

    At this, the expression of everyone in the Qin family changed greatly.

    They hastily said, "We¡ª"

    "Remember," the middle-aged man interjected, "based on our n, Qin Hai must secure first ce. This is the core condition for our n to work."

    "Hehe."

    "If you fail to meet this condition..." The middle-aged man waved his hand and left the Qin family.

    The Qin family sunk into silence.

    "I knew it. Working together with them is akin to working with the devil," a Qin-family womanmented.

    "What¡¯s the point in saying all this?" an old main rebuked. "Qin Hai obtaining first ce is supposed to be the easiest part of our n to aplish. Who expected that something would go wrong here?"

    No one had expected this!

    In the previous year¡¯spetition, a genius who shined dazzlingly had appeared as well.

    Hence...

    In order to avoid anyplications, they¡¯d made Qin Hai wait one whole year before joining this year¡¯s Gene Rookie Competition. However, who could have guessed that Chen Feng would appear now?

    Could Qin Hai win?

    They had no idea!

    From the avable information, Qin Hai had a 90% chance of winning.

    However...

    Against Chen Feng?

    All the avable information was simply worthless!

    Moreover, what they wanted was a 100% chance of victory. After all, if Qin Hai failed...

    "Hu." The old man inhaled. "Seems like we can only use that thing then."

    Everyone sunk into silence.

    The price of using that thing...

    "We will have to wrong this child, Qin Hai," the old man said faintly. However, for the Qin family, this had to be done!

    Shua!

    Night deepened.

    In the sky above the Qin family, a trace of haze had appeared for no apparent reason. A gust of ck aura quietly streaked past.

    At this time, in Sea City, Chen Feng was concluding the experience he¡¯d gained during thispetition.

    He had been too careless! If he¡¯d been more cautious, he would not have been tricked into the interior of the volcano by Yun Xiaoduo. The fact that hecked understanding of Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s strength was also a huge problem.

    Besides that, he was originally looking forward to have a digital battle with Yun Xiaoduo. Yun Xiaoduo might not have been weak in digital battles, but with Xiao Ying, a miracle could be created.

    However...

    He had no chance to do that!

    From the start till the end, Yun Xiaoduo had not given him a single chance! If it wasn¡¯t for him causing the volcanic explosion in the end, he would only have died there. It appeared that he had to stop relying on digital battles alone.

    This was a trump card, something he used to defend himself. He absolutely could not abuse it.

    "Since Yun Xiaoduo knows that digital battle should be avoided, Qin Hai will definitely know it as well," Chen Feng deduced.

    Furthermore, it was very probable for his opponent to create a pit waiting for Chen Feng to jump into it. Now that Chen Feng had fallen into someone¡¯s tricks twice, despite the fact that he¡¯d managed to foil both tricks, he had no choice but to increase his vignce.

    This was his final match. Hence, he had to be prudent!

    Victory would grant him first ce!

    Granting him the greatest of glories.

    With a defeat, he would end up in second ce, slowly forgotten by the masses.

    "Work hard," Chen Feng cheered himself on.

    Currently, he still had 420 luck value remaining.

    The night became deeper as everyone entered their slumber.

    In a half-awake state, Qin Hai suddenly felt that his dreand had be unprecedentedly clear. All vagueness disappeared from his dreand, giving him the feeling as if he had truly arrived there.

    Qin Hai¡¯s heart jolted. "What¡¯s going on?"

    "Child," Old Man Qin¡¯s voice resounded suddenly.

    Qin Hai was pleasantly surprised. "Grandfather."

    Old Man Qin¡¯s gic ability, Dream of Golden Millet!

    Able to send messages through dreams!

    No one was capable of detecting it.

    "Do you have any confidence in your match tomorrow?" Old Man Qin proceeded to share his analysis of the current situation with Qin Hai, causing Qin Hai¡¯s expression to change greatly. Only now did Qin Hai know the height the current Chen Feng had reached.

    However, even with this...

    "Don¡¯t worry, grandfather!" Qin Hai had a firm gaze. "Regardless of how strong Chen Feng is, I have 80% confidence in winning!"

    This was his confidence!

    His actual strength was much higher than what it appeared to be.

    Old Man Qin sighed. "Eighty precent, eh?"

    Eighty precent... It was not enough!

    The big Qin family could not put their gamble on such an odd!

    What if...

    The remaining 20% was what happened instead?

    Chen Feng¡¯s train of thought was too bizarre. Nobody was able to guess what he was thinking. If he were to once again utilize some tricks, Qin Hai would still end up defeated!

    Unless...

    Qin Hai¡¯s strength far surpassed Chen Feng¡¯s!

    "I¡¯m sorry, child." Old Man Qin sighed. "I have wronged you."

    "What?"

    Qin Hai nked.

    "Bang!"

    Old Man Qin stretched his hand and his palmnded on Qin Hai¡¯s forehead.

    "Hum¡ª"

    A gush of terrifying power started scattering around them.

    "No!" Qin Hai had a pained and twisted expression. "Grandfather, don¡¯t..."

    "I¡¯m sorry." Despite feeling somewhat guilty, Old Man Qin remained firm. "Think of the children of the Qin family. Think of your parents. We really have no other options..."

    "Bang!"

    An explosion of energy.

    The dreand disappeared.

    Qin Hai returned to the real world at that instant. An acute pain started spreading from within his body.

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah¡ª" he started yelling crazily.

    He felt like his body was going to burst and explode.

    That terrifying energy engulfed his whole body and started ravaging his body. Finally, that energy broke through all the chains in his body, taking Qin Hai into a brand new world!

    "Bang!"

    Limit breakthrough!

    Blood dripped down Qin Hai¡¯s lips.

    "Why..." Qin Hai mumbled.

    Why!

    Even now, he did not dare to believe that his family would do this to him!

    He had broken through!

    Stepping through the limit, entering D ss.

    His initial 1,000 points of spiritual energy had also greatly increased, breaking through his limit, increasing rapidly until it reached 2,000 points, a height that a lot of people did not even dare to imagine.

    However...

    He was now a broken person as well.

    All the potential he had within his body had been destroyed by that forceful breakthrough.

    He was initially a person with the chance to reach C ss, B ss, or even higher.

    He believed that, as long as he was given enough time, he would definitely be a legend. However, now, he could only be a forever D ss, struggling at the bottom tier of society.

    Why...

    Qin Hai started crying blood.

    Qin family!

    The bewilderment in his eyes transformed into hatred.

    However, right at this instant, a dream-like voice echoed in his head. "Alive, you are a Qin-family human... Dead, you are a Qin-family ghost... Kill Chen Feng and obtain first ce."

    Shua!

    Light shed.

    "Kill Chen Feng, obtain first ce!"

    Qin Hai¡¯s pupils ckened.

    "Killing Chen Feng..."

    "Obtain first ce..." Qin Hai muttered.

    On his chest was a devilish flower, gleaming with a faint light.

    Night passed quietly.

    Next day, the final match descended. Qin Hai vs Chen Feng!

    Their respective supporters were already in their respective livestream rooms. The poprity of these two had also reached the highest height in history.

    At ten sharp, the match began.

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    The simted environment appeared.

    This was the map of apletely ordinary forest. Evidently, due to the earlier incident where the environment had been manipted to kill, the organizers did not dare to use the other maps that were more peculiar.

    Especially in the final match.

    Clearly, even the Gene Production Association was now scared of Chen Feng¡¯s antics.

    At this time, the match officially began.

    "Qin Hai..."

    Chen Feng had a solemn expression.

    This was a name he had heard countless times before. Finally, he was now facing this person. Despite the fact that he had surpassed Qin Hai in the previous rounds, he was very clear on the way in which he had aplished those feats.

    This time, he could only face his opponent head on!

    Tricks?

    Nope.

    Manipting the environment?

    Nope.

    This was the final match. Chen Feng could only give it his all.

    Thundersnake gene reagent...

    Icefox gene reagent...

    Bluebat gene reagent...

    ...

    Chen Feng started his crazy pace of gene production.

    All the F-ss gene reagents and all the E-ss gene reagents from 1-star to 3-star were being mass produced. Chen Feng tried his best to produce all the gene reagents that he believed would be helpful.

    This was a tough battle; hence, he had to make ample preparations.

    Shua!

    Time passed.

    This period before they finally faced each other was like the calm before the storm. It was so silent it was scary. Regardless of Chen Feng or Qin Hai, both were producing gene reagents at a rapid pace. Only until the final hour, when the area started closing in, did both of them slowly start moving.

    "It¡¯s starting."

    Everyone in the livestream rooms was excited.

    During the whole day, they had both prepared a huge amount of gene reagents. Among these produced gene reagents, arge portion were what the viewers could recognize as well. However, in the hands of both these people were also some never-before-seen gene reagents. Even among the over 10 million viewers in their livestream rooms, none were able to recognize these reagents.

    These were their respective trump cards!

    However, for an unknown reason, the Qin Hai of today was emitting a terrifyingly ice-cold aura. On his face was an indescribably evil aura. Even his fans in the livestream room had a feeling that something was off.

    Was it because he took this match too highly?

    Or perhaps...

    Everyone¡¯s hearts leaped.

    They had a premonition that something was going to happen in this match today.

 Chapter 158: One Killing Move per Step

    Chapter 158: One Killing Move per Step

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In the forest, after one whole day of preparations, Chen Feng and Qin Hai finally encountered each other.

    A monstrous smile appeared on Qin Hai¡¯s lips. "I have waited a long time for you."

    Chen Feng frowned. This guy...

    The Qin Hai of today was giving him a different feeling.

    "I don¡¯t know how you reached this height." A trace of gloominess could be seen from Qin Hai¡¯s smile. "However, this is where you stop."

    "Bang!"

    A sudden eruption of terrifying power.

    In Qin Hai¡¯s hands, 20 bottles of gene reagents shattered at the same time before condensing into a huge clump of energy that changed shape irregrly in the air before finally taking on the form of a dark-gold energy sword.

    "This is..."

    Everyone¡¯s expressions changed greatly.

    Gene armament!

    It was actually a brand-new gene armament!

    They had initially believed that Qin Hai would once again use the gene armament he¡¯d used during his previous confrontation with Yun Xiaoduo. Never had they expected that he actually possessed a second gene armament!

    "Two gene armaments!"

    Everyone inhaled deeply.

    Gene armaments were already a rarity for producers at this level. For Qin Hai to actually possess two of them, how terrifying an umtion did this guy have? Furthermore, that dark-gold energy sword...

    Was even stronger than his previous gene armament!

    Shua!

    Dark-gold energy swirled around the sword in Qin Hai¡¯s hand.

    Hum¡ª

    Dark-gold light enveloped his body.

    The Qin Hai that previously possessed lowbat power suddenly had a change in his aura.

    sh!

    Qin Hai stepped forth.

    His lithe body drifted over, leaving behind a gold-colored afterimage in the air. The most terrifying part of this was the fact that the gold afterimage had, in an instant, be alive.

    "Bang!"

    The dark-gold afterimage streaked toward Chen Feng!

    As quick as lightning.

    "Explode!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils constricted as he tossed out a gene reagent without hesitation.

    Pa!

    The aquarhino gene reagent shattered in midair.

    This was the gene reagent for which the materials needed to be painstakingly gathered during the second round. However, in this final round, where unlimited materials were provided, Chen Feng was able to easily produce this gene reagent.

    This was the strongest defense he possessed.

    "Bang!"

    The dark-gold afterimage smashed into the Aquarhino¡¯s Rampart.

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying energy shockwave containing astonishing power resulted from it. Aquarhino¡¯s Rampart did not waver, while the dark gold afterimage shattered right away.

    Was it blocked?

    Everyone was holding their breath.

    Blocked!

    The aquarhino gene reagent was indeed worthy of being the strongest defensive gene at this level. Even the attack from Qin Hai¡¯s gene armament was...

    However, right at this moment.

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    Qin Hai lightly stepped forth once more. From his previous position, a dark-gold afterimage was once again left there. At the moment it appeared, it became alive and, once again, streaked toward Chen Feng!

    Shua!

    Once again, Qin Hai stepped forth. With that, another dark-gold afterimage was birthed.

    One afterimage per second.

    One killing move per step.

    Shua!

    Three dark-gold afterimages smashed onto the Aquarhino¡¯s Rampart.

    "Ka!"

    Cracks started appearing on the Aquarhino¡¯s Rampart.

    "Ka!"

    The cracks spread.

    "Bang!"

    Aquarhino¡¯s Rampart copsed immediately.

    The defense was broken through!

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    Too terrifying!

    This was Qin Hai¡¯s second gene armament?

    One killing move with every step he took!

    Every time he took a step forward, an afterimage that looked the same as him would be left behind. Even Qin Hai¡¯s original posture or movement was maintained in the afterimage, an extremely terrifying ability.

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    Everyone was rmed.

    Qin Hai¡¯s strength was much higher than it had been yesterday.

    "No idea."

    The rest shook their head.

    "I¡¯m afraid things are going to get dangerous for Chen Feng," someone whispered.

    "Yeah."

    Everyone focused on the match.

    Shua!

    Once again, Qin Hai stepped forth.

    Dark light shed from the dark-gold energy sword in his hand as another afterimage appeared and terrifyingly shed forth toward Chen Feng.

    "I can¡¯t hold on much longer!"

    Chen Feng clenched his teeth.

    This attack was too terrifying. He simply had no way of defending against it.

    What should I do? Light silhouettes... energy...

    "Go!"

    Chen Feng instantly activated all the attack gene reagents he had on him. A huge expanse of interweaving fire and thunder covered the sky. At this moment, all of Chen Feng¡¯s gene reagents exploded.

    "Bang!"

    The dark-gold afterimage streaked forth.

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils constricted.

    Before his eyes, all his attacks were instantly crushed. Next, the dark-gold afterimage, with its sword in hand, proceeded forth toward Chen Feng.

    "Explode!"

    Chen Feng bellowed.

    "Bang!"

    All of his defensive and support gene reagents were instantly activated as well.

    All of them!

    Chen Feng was enveloped by a rainbow-colored radiance.

    "Pu!"

    The dark-gold afterimage arrived.

    "Bang!"

    Chen Feng could feel a terrifying power nearing him.

    One step!

    Two steps!

    Three steps!

    Chen Feng was pushed back by three steps before he manage to force himself to stop.

    "Were all of them blocked?" Chen Feng muttered.

    Before his eyes, the sword of that dark-gold afterimage stopped right in front of his chest, leaving a faint red cut there. Chen Feng was almost killed then and there.

    "Too terrifying."

    Chen Feng was dripping wet with sweat.

    Too powerful!

    Was this the real strength of Qin Hai?

    However, this was merely the beginning.

    Qin Hai sneered. "Ah."

    Shua!

    Once again, he stepped forth. From his previous spot, another dark-gold afterimage appeared and became alive. It even nced at Chen Feng, its eyes filled with killing intent.

    "Kill!"

    The dark-gold afterimage disappeared almost immediately.

    "It¡¯s over."

    Everyone sighed.

    The evenly matched confrontation they were expecting to see had not appeared. From the start, this match was a one-sided oppression, with Qin Hai holding the absolute advantage and Chen Feng not having the chance to even hit back!

    Was this the real strength of Qin Hai?

    Too terrifying!

    Chen Feng...

    Pity.

    Everyone shook their head.

    They knew that Chen Feng was going to be defeated.

    He had lost almost 99% of his gene reagents. In such a confrontation between gene producers, that was simply equivalent to losing one¡¯sbat power.

    How was he supposed to continue battling?

    Currently, in the simted environment, Chen Feng¡¯s heart palpitated as he looked at the gradually fading dark-gold afterimage.

    So powerful!

    One afterimage per step!

    Such a mystical gene armament exists?

    Chen Feng suddenly felt like he had been looking down upon the heroes of this world. The gene producer profession had a long history, so how could this profession not have a strong umtion after so many years of development?

    Dark-gold afterimages eh...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    He couldn¡¯t hold on much longer.

    Every single one of those afterimages had too powerful an attack. It was far above Chen Feng¡¯s current level. Furthermore, their movement speed was simply astonishingly fast, to the point where Chen Feng was helpless against them.

    If that¡¯s the case, then I shall stop defending!

    Hu¡ª

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply before closing both his eyes.

    Gulp.

    He gulped down a bottle of gene reagent.

    A wave of heat started spreading within his body, akin to a dazzling radiance amidst the dark night.

    Shua!

    Beside Chen Feng, a dark-gold afterimage appeared in a mysterious manner.

    It¡¯s here!

    Both Chen Feng¡¯s eyes remained shut.

    Bang!

    The dark-gold sword shed down.

    Hum¡ª

    Followed by a terrifying energy explosion.

    It was over.

    Everyone sighed.

    However, right at this moment, Chen Feng¡¯s body had, in a bizarre manner, inclined sideways, evading the sword attack. A dark-gold sh brushed past him yet did not leave any wound on him at all.

    "Damn!?"

    "!!!"

    Everyone abruptly widened their eyes.

    He¡¯d evaded that?

    How was that possible?!

    One had to know that the sword of this afterimage was excessively fast. The reason Chen Feng had faced these attacks head on initially was also due to their high speed with the bizarre angles in which they attacked from which was practically impossible to avoid.

    Hence, he could only face those attacks head-on.

    Every single instant of the appearance and disappearance of those afterimages was so fast one could not catch any glimpse of them.

    However...

    Evaded?!

    Everyone stared nkly at Chen Feng.

    They were further confounded by the fact that Chen Feng currently had both his eyes shut.

    "Damn."

    "What skill is this?"

    Everyone had stupefied expressions. Such a cheat-like skill existed?

    "Could it be that the afterimage¡¯s sword can only be seen when one closes their eyes?"

    Some tried shutting their eyes, but they saw nothing except a vast expanse of pitch ck and was left feeling like idiots.

    "What on earth is going on?"

    Everyone was confused.

    However, no one was able to figure it out.

    "Perhaps... it¡¯s simply a coincidence?" someone suddenly asked.

    Right at this moment, Qin Hai stepped forth. Another dark-gold afterimage appeared, energy sword in hand, and streaked toward Chen Feng. It¡¯s faintly discernable silhouette was iparably terrifying.

    However...

    Shua!

    A sh of gold, yet Chen Feng was still standing.

    This sh... had once again missed.

 Chapter 159: Chen Fengâ€™s Counter

    Chapter 159: Chen Feng¡¯s Counter

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Damn!"

    "Chen Feng is really capable of dodging that?"

    "66666666"

    "He can even find a solution to deal with such a terrifying gene armament?"

    Everyone¡¯s eyes shone.

    In the simted environment, Chen Feng stood at his original spot. A faint smile could be seen on his face. With both eyes shut, every single dark-gold sh toward him was easily dodged.

    One sh!

    Two shes!

    Three shes!

    He dodged it, captivating the masses!

    Chen Feng was really capable of dodging it!

    Everyone stood up in excitement.

    The match that everyone had believed would end soon had once again be exciting. Chen Feng¡¯s confidence and ease when he moved proved that Qin Hai was not the only person who had concealed his strength. Chen Feng had concealed his strength as well.

    "This guy..."

    An rmed expression appeared on Qin Hai¡¯s face.

    He was very clear on the strength of this gene armament of his.

    Coupled with his greatly increased strength and the huge increase in his spiritual energy, his gene armament was extremely powerful. How was it possible for a mere Chen Feng to survive against his attacks?

    "I refuse to believe this."

    A cold glint shed in Qin Hai¡¯s eyes.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Afterimages flickered.

    Qin Hai started moving around rapidly, leaving behind one afterimage after another.

    Every single ce he passed by, an afterimage would be left behind. After every single step of his, an afterimage that looked exactly the same as him would appear, filled with killing intent.

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    One dark-gold afterimage after another streaked toward Chen Feng.

    Each of those afterimages would disappear a split second after their appearance before reappearing at an odd and tricky angle near Chen Feng with a dazzling sh of dark gold.

    Extremely fast!

    Extremely powerful!

    However, Chen Feng was as calm as usual.

    Bending, tilting...

    Every single one of Chen Feng¡¯s movements was able to dodge one of those dark-gold sh. One dark-gold colored afterimage after another would sh by Chen Feng¡¯s side before disappearing again.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The viewers were iparably excited as they watched this.

    Too strong!

    "This is the type of battle I wanted to see!"

    "After this match, this gene armament of Qin Hai¡¯s will definitely be known worldwide."

    "Definitely."

    Everyone believed that.

    Such a cool looking attack...

    Such carefree afterimages...

    This gene armament of Qin Hai¡¯s not only possessed strong attack power, it was also incredibly eye-catching as well. However, more attention was focused on Chen Feng.

    A lot of people had seen how Chen Feng had consumed a gene reagent before Qin Hai¡¯s attacks started reaching him. That was what they were interested in. The powerful gene reagent capable of contending against Qin Hai.

    One single gene reagent of Chen Feng¡¯s was sufficient to deal with the gene armament of Qin Hai?

    How powerful was that gene reagent?

    Everyone stared at Chen Feng with twinkling eyes.

    As of now, Chen Feng¡¯s eyes still remained shut.

    Virus mode!

    This was Chen Feng¡¯s special mode!

    Using the aurora gene reagent, he entered his virus mode, pushing his affinity with spiritual energy to its limit. With that, everything around him seemed to slow down, bing incredibly clear.

    This was Chen Feng¡¯s answer to Qin Hai¡¯s attack.

    As for Qin Hai¡¯s afterimage attacks?

    They became iparably distinct for him as well!

    After all...

    At their base, these were a type of spiritual attack!

    Chen Feng was unable to exert his control on these attacks. However, the spiritual energy used to form the dark-gold afterimages was incredibly clear for him in this mode, akin to a naked person that he was able to see clearly.

    Possessing a speed so fast one could not see it clearly?

    Attacking from tricky angles?

    All of that became nonexistent factors for him.

    Shua!

    He once again dodged an attack.

    Six seconds, Chen Feng silently muttered in his heart.

    Only four seconds of duration remained for his Virus Mode; he had to end this battle fast!

    At the thought of this, a sneer formed on Chen Feng¡¯s lips. "Is this your strongest attack? Isn¡¯t it too weak? I even handicapped myself by sealing my sight. Even with this, you can¡¯t beat me?"

    Shua!

    Killing intent shed in Qin Hai¡¯s eyes.

    "You are courting death."

    A terrifying dark-gold radiance flickered in Qin Hai¡¯s hands.

    Xiu!

    The dark-gold radiance dispersed.

    Bang!

    A sh of light.

    Qin Hai stepped forward. However, this time, it was no longer the same afterimage attack he¡¯d been using previously. His whole person was enveloped by the dark-gold radiance and his speed increased to his limit.

    Shua!

    A sh of light.

    Qin Hai was now personally attacking instead of relying on his afterimages.

    His speed was so fast that his movement caused a sonic boom in the air.

    "This is..."

    Everyone¡¯s hearts jolted furiously.

    The power of this attack was much higher than the attacks of those dark-gold afterimages.

    "I know!" One of the viewers cried out in rm. "Those dark gold afterimages were simply an ordinary attack of this special dark-gold mode of Qin Hai¡¯s. This current attack, though, should be the true ability of this gene armament!"

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone inhaled mouthfuls of cold air.

    He was so powerful?

    Chen Feng...

    Could he survive this attack?

    They were aware that Chen Feng could handle the ordinary attacks easily. However, the dark-gold energy sword was much more terrifying now.

    This was the true form of that gene armament!

    Bang!

    In an instant, before the viewers could even shift their gazes, Qin Hai, with that terrifying dark-gold energy sword in his hand, had appeared behind Chen Feng.

    sh!

    Like a gushing river, the dark-gold radiance descended upon Chen Feng.

    At the same moment, a dazzling light abruptly blossomed from the eyes of Chen Feng who had been dodging all the previous attacks in a casual manner. This was his chance, at this moment, there was still one second left on his Virus Mode active duration.

    Faster?

    Stronger?

    No.

    Before the Virus Mode, the stronger one¡¯s spiritual energy became, the stronger the energy one condensed, the more obvious one was to him! For him, this was akin to the heat underneath an infrared ray. The stronger the ray was, the clearer it appeared for him!

    The current Qin Hai was simply akin to a huge sun in Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual world.

    Every single movement of his, every single angle he appeared from, appeared iparably distinct to Chen Feng.

    Hum¡ª

    The dark-gold energy sword in Qin Hai¡¯s hand descended.

    Shua!

    Terrifying energy shockwave was left behind on the route the sword traveled. Chen Feng¡¯s lithe body dodged the sh and appeared before Qin Hai.

    With a raise of his head, their eyes met.

    Ah.

    Chen Fengughed lightly.

    His lips curled, forming a perfect curve.

    That was a sneer.

    "You dare!"

    Qin Hai¡¯s fury increased greatly.

    He had never expected that Chen Feng would be so arrogant. Not leaving after dodging his attack and instead sticking close to him to sneer at him!

    "You are courting death!" Qin Hai raged.

    Shua!

    The dark-gold radiance shined dazzlingly. Just as it was about to sh toward Chen Feng, Chen Feng gently stretched his hand out and ced his palm beside Qin Hai¡¯s mouth.

    Mhm?

    Qin Hai nked.

    Next...

    Shua!

    Forcefully, Chen Feng stuffed several bottles of gene reagents into Qin Hai¡¯s mouth.

    That¡¯s right!

    Those gene reagents were directly stuffed into Qin Hai¡¯s mouth!

    Battle?

    Regardless of how good Qin Hai was at gene production, hisbat experience was not as rich as Chen Feng¡¯s. This was a domain a pure gene producer like him could never surpass Chen Feng in!

    The moment he allowed Chen Feng to get near him, Chen Feng would be able to find the best opportunity to make his move!

    For example¡ª

    What was happening presently.

    "Oh!!!!"

    Qin Hai¡¯s mouth was suddenly stuffed full.

    ????!

    His eyes widened.

    This was a battle between gene producers. Hence, gene reagents should be used as their method of battle!

    Therefore, as long as no rules were vited, one could use any method one wished in the battle. However, Qin Hai had never imagined that Chen Feng would use such a vulgar and barbarous method!

    Chen Feng had actually stuffed those gene reagents into his mouth?

    Too excessive!

    In his fury, Qin Hai wanted to take those gene reagents out.

    However, right at this moment, Chen Feng¡¯s silhouette drifted past him as that familiar voice once again appeared in Qin Hai¡¯s ear. "Goodbye."

    "Bang!"

    An instantaneous, terrifying energy eruption.

    Chen Feng...

    Had exploded those gene reagents!

    Those were the final batch of gene reagents Chen Feng had on him. Those were also the most destructive gene reagents he had. Now, all of these reagents were in Qin Hai¡¯s mouth...

    All of them exploded!

    At this instant, a resplendent radiance shined dazzlingly!

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone inhaled mouthfuls of cold air.

    What had they seen?

    This, this, this...

    Too scary!

    Was there no other ce Chen Feng could have exploded these reagents?

    He had instead chosen to stuff these reagents into Qin Hai¡¯s mouth before detonating them. This was a through-and-through humiliation! Despite this happening in a virtual world, they could still imagine how hot and painful that felt.

    "6666666666666."

    "This is quite a heavy taste."

    "It¡¯s too excessive to stuff those into the mouth."

    "I thought the triplebo was already the furthest he would go..."

    "From today onwards, integrity no longer exists."

    "Ah ah ah ah ah, Chen Feng dared to do this to our Little Hai?"

    The chat was furiously spammed.

    All sorts of messages appeared in the chat.

    Qin Hai¡¯s fans were cursing in rage, whereas Chen Feng¡¯s fans were feeling sofortable they felt like they were in the clouds. Never before had a single battle caused them to feel sofortable!

    This was the type of battle they wanted to see!

    Free and intoxicating!

    After a long time, that dazzling radiance finally disappeared.

    Was Qin Hai dead?

    Everyone instinctively looked over.

    There, a copsed forest could be seen.

    A lone figure stood there with a pair of dazed eyes and nerveless pupils. On his face were multiple bloody scars, giving off an indescribable gloomy feeling.

 Chapter 160: Demonic Fern Gene Reagent

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Qin Hai... dead?" someone muttered in a low voice.

    However, he received no reply.

    The simted environment appeared extremely immersive to them as well. They were able to see Qin Hai clearly. However, that ice-cold expression and nk gaze of Qin Hai¡¯s confused them as to whether he was alive or dead.

    Was he dead?

    The whole worldpsed into silence.

    Everyone was waiting.

    Suddenly.

    Dong! Dong!

    A familiar sound of a heartbeat reappeared. Qin Hai¡¯s face recovered its luster and life returned to that nk gaze of his. However, in his pupils, a mysterious flower had appeared.

    "Hehehehe..."

    Qin Hai suddenly startedughing.

    On his face, a resplendent smile appeared.

    At this moment, the dripping blood stopped. The bloodstains on his face stopped at their original position, forming a bizarre blood tattoo on his face.

    "Hehe."

    "Chen Feng..."

    "Is there a need for this?" Qin Hai muttered.

    Chen Feng, with his acute senses, felt that something was not right. The current Qin Hai was giving off an extremely odd feeling.

    "If you had just let me win, this would have simply ended here." A bizarre smile appeared on Qin Hai¡¯s face. "Is there a need for you to force me to kill you?"

    What is he talking about?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped.

    Gulp.

    Qin Hai consumed a bottle of gene reagent.

    Bang!

    A terrifying energy erupted out of Qin Hai¡¯s body and started spreading. In a split second, it had engulfed the whole simted forest!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The whole simted environment was trembling.

    That is ...

    Almost everyone gasped at that moment.

    **

    In the virtualpany building.

    The Gao Yunfeng that was anxiously watching the match stood up abruptly, and the expression on his face changed greatly. "How is it possible for this thing to appear in the simted environment?"

    An employee smiled bitterly. "This is something he produced himself."

    "What?" Gao Yunfeng nked momentarily. He made it himself? How is that possible, that¡¯s...

    "Appearance of freaks twopetitions in a row?"

    Gao Yunfeng was rmed.

    Beside him, the eyes of Hou Liang who had been maintaining his silence shone. Among the children that make up the current batch¡¯s participants, there¡¯s one who has reached this height? What a pleasant surprise!

    Not only them, almost everyone watching was rmed.

    That was because what Qin Hai had consumed was a D-ss gene reagent!

    "How is it..."

    Everyone was shocked.

    This was a Gene Rookie Competition!

    Apetition for youths under 25 years old!

    When digital battles and gene armaments had appeared, they could be brushed off as one having outstanding talent to be able to learn something that would usually only be learnt by advanced gene producers. But for D ss gene reagents?

    That was truly something that only higher-leveled gene producers could produce!

    Could it be...

    Qin Hai had reached the advanced production level?

    Sea City.

    In therge hotel, Zhang Wei was watching the livestream with an unsightly expression. Chen Feng¡¯s feat of reaching the finals had given him a pleasant surprise. However, he had never once imagined that this was the level Qin Hai was at.

    Advanced gene producer?

    The birth of another freakish genius!

    Were there any advanced gene producers below 25 years old before?

    Yes!

    However, they were low in amount.

    Every single one of them was a world-shaking genius.

    In the previous year¡¯s Gene Rookie Competition, such a producer had appeared and crushed all opposition in thepetition. From the start till the end, no participants had been his match. He had been able to easily grab first ce in thepetition.

    This year, the same thing was happening!

    Zhang Wei sighed. "So unlucky..."

    One more step!

    One more step to the apex!

    Pity.

    Zhang Wei felt regretful.

    He was sure that, in the subsequent Gene Rookie Competitions, Chen Feng might have a chance to be an advanced gene producer as well before grabbing first ce and forging his very own legend.

    But now...

    His advances could only stop here.

    Currently, in the virtual livestream rooms, everyone only recovered from their shock after a long time.

    They all knew Qin Hai was powerful. However, no one had expected that he was powerful to such an extent. He had actually broken through his limit and be an advanced gene producer.

    One had to know that, before bing an advanced gene producer, one had to first be a D-ss gic warrior.

    This was the lowest requirement for it!

    For those gene producers who did not break through their limits by tempering through battles, it would be extremely hard for them to break through the D-ss limit. It was very normal for one to be stuck here for years. However...

    Qin Hai had broken through!

    He had only be a peak D-ss gic warrior this year, and he had now smoothly broken through to be an advanced gene producer!

    "So strong!"

    "Qin Hai is actually this impressive?"

    "I initially believed that Chen Feng would make a sessfuleback. Unexpectedly, Qin Hai¡¯s trump card was even more terrifying!"

    "D-ss gic warrior, advanced gene producer..."

    Everyone eximed in admiration.

    It seemed like there was no longer any suspense to this match.

    Historically, there were severalpetitions where advanced gene producers had appeared. Each time one of them appeared, they would crush all opposition with no participants capable of contending against them.

    That was an advanced gene producer! This was not a simple matter of higher attributes or production proficiency, gic abilities needed to be taken into consideration as well!

    For someone with Qin Hai¡¯s background, since he had broken through into D-ss, his family would have probably prepared a fusion gene reagent for him so that he could fuse with a new gic ability!

    His production proficiency had probably improved greatly as well.

    Since even a D-ss gene reagent was used, what could Chen Feng use topete against him?

    "A pity for Chen Feng."

    "No problem, he can still do well next year."

    Everyone felt regretful.

    Why had both extraordinary talents existed at the same time?

    In such circumstances, there was really nothing much one could do about it.

    One could only say that times were changing, as the younger generation nowadays was more powerful than the previous generation. Initially, an advanced gene producer would only appear in thepetition once after many years. Now, though, such freaks had appeared two years in a row.

    Perhaps this was what the future of gene producers looked like?

    "Perhaps Chen Feng still has a chance?" someone guessed.

    After all, Chen Feng had always been a ghost talent[1]. Even if he couldn¡¯t beat his opponent, he could still look for a way to secure victory?

    For example¡ª

    Manipting the environment to kill his opponent, or something like that?

    However.

    "Bang!"

    Qin Hai moved.

    A terrifying energy started spreading around him.

    The whole forest trembled.

    At this moment, all the vines and trees leaped up like living animals. This was the D-ss gene reagent produced by Qin Hai.

    Demonic fern.

    An extremely terrifying nt.

    It was able to absorb the live essence of other nts to increase its strength and was crowned as the ¡®King of Vegetation¡¯!

    In a radius of 5 km, as long as it was a ce where this nt existed, all the other vegetation could only struggle at death¡¯s door. By depending on the extracted essence from the genes in the demonic fern, a terrifying ability would be granted to the user of this gene reagent.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    A sh of green light.

    A thick vine smashed down, leaving a deep gorge on the ground. At this, everyone inhaled a breath of cold air. This was the power of a D-ss gene reagent!

    Even for its controlled nts, D-ss power was still able to be disyed.

    Counterattack?

    Manipting the environment to kill?

    No chance at all!

    "This..."

    "Too scary!"

    "D ss is like a dividing line into an entirely different level of strength, and Qin Hai has sessfully stepped past this line."

    "How is Chen Feng supposed to contend with this?"

    Everyone cried out in rm.

    They had initially believed that the confrontation between Chen Feng and Qin Hai¡¯s gene armament was already a powerful sh. Unexpectedly, Qin Hai had actually reached D ss and had even fused with a new fusion gene reagent!

    A new fusion gene reagent!

    A new gic ability!

    And a brand new production level!

    For a person who had entered the ranks of advanced producers, he was simply akin to a person who had entered a different world, a world for the strong.

    Chen Feng...

    Had no hope of victory.

    Chapter 161: Taking a Leisurely Stroll

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In the forest, Qin Hai was partially transformed into the demonic fern. Vines started growing out of his body and the nts around him started swaying crazily due to the demonic fern¡¯s power.

    A dance of nts!

    Under Qin Hai¡¯s control, all the surrounding nts started growing at a crazy pace.

    This was the demonic fern gene!

    This was the nt kingdom belonging to Qin Hai!

    "Bang!"

    Qin Hai stepped forth.

    That huge demonic fern body of his swayed around, filled with a terrifying power.

    "I didn¡¯t originally intend to do this." A cruel smile appeared on Qin Hai¡¯s face. "You are the one who forced me to do this. How good would it have been if you had been obediently defeated by me. Instead, you tried to humiliate me, hehehe..."

    Xiu!

    A vine flung itself at Chen Feng.

    "Bang!"

    The ground cracked.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart was rmed as he looked at the gorge that was left behind on the ground in front of him.

    Such terrifying strength!

    This is Qin Hai¡¯s true strength? No, something doesn¡¯t seem right! Qin Hai obviously had a different aura yesterday! Could it be... Chen Feng contemted.

    "Bang!"

    Another vine descended while Chen Feng retreated hastily.

    "Where are you running to?"

    Qin Hai saw through Chen Feng¡¯s intention and started furiously chasing after him.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Everything within a hundred meters was fully covered by the nts as the nts started crazily smashing toward Chen Feng, akin to a dance of the demons. Since Qin Hai controlled everything here, how could he permit Chen Feng¡¯s escape?

    Hu¡ª

    Chen Feng inhaled.

    Before his eyes, nothing could be seen except an endless amount of swaying vines and nts. Even the sunlight waspletely sheltered as darkness descended upon the area. Every nook and corner around Chen Feng waspletely sealed; nothing outside the encirclement could be seen.

    "It¡¯s over..." arge amount of people muttered.

    This time, it was truly over.

    The several tens of vines with D-ss power and the sky-covering nts hadpletely confined Chen Feng within an area of a hundred meters.

    How could he escape in such a situation?

    Nobody had expected this to be the result of the final match.

    Qin Hai obtaining first ce?

    Everyone felt regretful for Chen Feng.

    However, right at this moment, everyone gasped in rm.

    That was because Chen Feng had once again closed his eyes.

    "What is he nning?"

    Everyone¡¯s heart leaped.

    Thest time Chen Feng had closed his eyes, he¡¯d countered Qin Hai¡¯s dark-gold sword! This time...

    Let¡¯s begin, then , Chen Feng chanted in his heart.

    Regardless of the amount of vines or nts around him, even if countless attacks mightnd on him, turning him into a meat paste the next second...

    Luck Aura, activate!

    A faint aura started undting around Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    This was the first time Chen Feng tried to affect reality during a battle. Instead of purely affecting the probability of things, Chen Feng was currently truly trying to affect reality.

    This...

    Was the true strength of his Luck Aura!

    Shua.

    Chen Feng stepped forth.

    Somewhere there was a nucleus of a certain nt, triggered by the demonic fern¡¯s power. This nt was growing at a crazy pace, possessing a formidable power despite still being under the demonic fern¡¯s control. However, under such unlimited stimtion by the demonic fern¡¯s power, an incident with a small probability of urrence urred to its genes! This nt that was supposed to be a small-sized nt instead suddenly be bulky.

    "Bang!"

    A vine smashed toward Chen Feng.

    However.

    Coincidentally, that nt that had suddenly be bulky forcefully pushed the vine away due to theck of space for its growth, causing the vine¡¯s trajectory to change.

    Bang!

    The vinended; however, it missed its target!

    Chen Feng had safely stepped forth.

    "This..."

    Everyone inhaled a breath of cold air.

    He was fine?

    How had the vine missed?

    No one knew!

    They only thing they could see was Chen Feng closing his eyes before calmly stepping forth.

    "This should be a coincidence?" someone guessed.

    At this time, Chen Feng stepped forth once again.

    "Die!"

    Qin Hai¡¯s eyes were as sharp as lighting.

    The previous incident had surprised him. However, he was aware of what had happened. This was a mutation with a small probability of urrence; hence, it should be a coincidence. A mere Chen Feng...

    Bang!

    Under Qin Hai¡¯s control, a particr nt smashed toward Chen Feng.

    That was a stalk of grass that was hard as iron!

    However, right at this instant, the grass that was supposed to charge forth toward Chen Feng suddenly be limp the moment it arrived in front of him.

    ???

    Qin Hai had a dumbfounded expression.

    It became limp?

    He tried to control the grass.

    He could control it!

    However, the grass failed to harden.

    Pa ji!

    The limp grass smashed onto Chen Feng¡¯s body, tickling Chen Feng.

    Qin Hai nked.

    He had never expected the grass that was supposed to be iparably sharp would mutate at thest minute, became a soft and limp grass like a normal nt.

    Gene degeneration? The f*ck? How was this possible?

    Bang!

    Bang!

    One vine after another descended.

    Killing intent blossomed from the demonic fern¡¯s vines and the countless surrounding nts.

    Qin Hai controlled his nt kingdom and started attacking Chen Feng furiously. However, astonishingly, Chen Feng safely walked out of the encirclement just like that with both his eyes shut.

    Not a single wound was left on his body.

    "Damn, damn, damn, damn!"

    "Such a method exists?"

    The livestream room erupted in an uproar.

    This was the demonic fern!

    He was attacked by all the nts around him!

    Everyone was shocked.

    Every single time Chen Feng closed his eyes, it was like he had activated some cheat, bing extremely terrifying.

    It had been the same previously.

    Now, it was still the same.

    One step!

    Two steps!

    Three steps!

    ...

    Akin to someone taking a leisurely stroll, stunning countless people.

    Soon, Chen Feng walked out of Qin Hai¡¯s attack range.

    After walking 100 meters away, he stopped his steps before opening his eyes, a smile forming on his lips.

    Sess!

    So...

    This was the power of the Luck Aura?

    Affecting reality!

    This was the first time Chen Feng had used his Luck Aura in such an unrestrained manner. That feeling was simply iparablyfortable! When enveloped by the Luck Aura, he was akin to a god!

    Omnipotent existence!

    However...

    Chen Feng sighed as he looked at his remaining luck value. In the span of several seconds, 300 points of luck value had been exhausted.

    A whole month of saving up was just for this thrill of having the Luck Aura fully activated.

    Turning around, Chen Feng¡¯s eyes met with the inconceivable gaze of Qin Hai.

    "Ah."

    Chen Fengughed lightly and walked away in a carefree manner.

    "Chen Feng!"

    Qin Hai raged.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Countless nts smashed toward Chen Feng.

    However...

    When those nts were one meter away from Chen Feng, they stopped.

    He was now 100 meters away from Qin Hai, exceeding the range of his control. Qin Hai wanted to move his body. However, the huge demonic fern¡¯s body was too slow; it was simply incapable of catching up to Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng had smoothly escaped.

    "He escaped!"

    "He really managed to escape..."

    The chat in the livestream room was spammed furiously.

    Earlier, they had witnessed with their own eyes how Chen Feng had stepped forth one step at a time, leaving Qin Hai¡¯s control radius. That feeling...

    Truly exhrating!

    "It was like he turned on some omnipotent cheat."

    "I know, right?"

    "He probably used some gene reagent that can release an aura that nts hate," someone guessed.

    The rest nodded.

    Even if this was a wrong guess, Chen Feng had to have used something simr.

    This world was filled with too many mysterious gic abilities and all sorts of gene reagents with a myriad of abilities. Hence, they did not find what Chen Feng had aplished suspicious; they were merely stunned by him.

    The unknown forms that Chen Feng had mastered were definitely no less than Qin Hai¡¯s!

    Perhaps...

    Chen Feng could really win?

    Instinctively, everyone looked toward the match.

 Chapter 162: Chen Fengâ€™s Attack

    Chapter 162: Chen Feng¡¯s Attack

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "You won¡¯t be able to escape."

    Qin Hai was filled with killing intent.

    "There¡¯s not much time left in this match anyway. I can just stand still and wait for you!" Qin Hai sneered. "When the area starts closing in and only 100 meters are left during the final 30 minutes, I want to see where you run off to!"

    Escape?

    In this round, escape was pointless!

    He was an intelligent person. The item used by Chen Feng to escape the encirclement definitely had some limitations to its usage. Within a short time period, he definitely couldn¡¯t use it again. Since that was the case, Qin Hai really had nothing to fear!

    Even if he¡¯d managed to escape now, so what? During the final 30 minutes, when only 100 meters of active area was left, that would be the start of his party!

    Everywhere remaining would be within his attacking range!

    "I will be waiting for you."

    Qin Hai stared at Chen Feng coldly, filled with killing intend.

    At this time, after escaping, Chen Feng started producing gene reagents. Despite his failure in his earlier encounter with Qin Hai, he had nevertheless still managed to gather some information.

    For example¡ª

    The characteristics of those nts.

    Hehe.

    nt kingdom?

    A faint smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Chen Feng went into a crazy pace of production.

    After 10 minutes, before the final 30 minutes of the match had even arrived, Chen Feng walked out from the forest and appeared before Qin Hai¡¯s line of view way earlier than Qin Hai had expected.

    "Chen Feng!"

    Qin Hai¡¯s gaze locked onto on Chen Feng.

    Nothing could be seen on Chen Feng.

    On Chen Feng¡¯s body, no gene reagent could be seen!

    What was he thinking of doing?

    Qin Hai did not understand.

    "I want to ask something." Chen Feng beamed as he looked at Qin Hai. "Your aura only changed today. So my guess is, your advancement into D ss is quite recent?

    "Ah.

    "Let me think, right after you broke through into D ss, you hastily rushed into the realm of an advanced gene producer. On top of that, you even learned a D-ss gene form. I suppose...

    "You probably didn¡¯t get much sleepst night right?

    "If so...

    "I doubt you had any extra time to learn any other new forms, right?

    "Hence, my guess is that, presently, this is the only D-ss gene reagent you know."

    Chen Feng finished his analysis.

    "Even if there¡¯s only one, it¡¯s sufficient to kill you." Qin Hai¡¯s gaze was bitingly cold. "I don¡¯t know what gene reagent you used earlier to enter that special mode. However, there should be a limit to its active duration, right? During the final 30 minutes, the whole remaining active area will be within my attack range. I refuse to believe that you will be able to survive that final 30 minutes!"

    "Of course not." Laughter burst out of Chen Feng. "However, I suppose you are not aware of what happened during my match yesterday, then?"

    Qin Hai nked. "What?"

    "My match with Yun Xiaoduo..." A faintugh escaped Chen Feng. "That was quite a splendid match."

    What does this mean?

    Qin Hai could keenly feel that something wasn¡¯t right.

    He wanted to act now. However, Chen Feng was out of his 100-meter attack range, and he had no way of getting near Chen Feng. Hence, he couldn¡¯t do anything currently. It was at this moment that, far away, there was a sh of light.

    That is...

    Qin Hai took a look, and immediately, his expression changed greatly.

    "Bang!"

    The sound of an intense explosion resounded.

    "Bang!"

    Before the eyes of all the viewers was a vast expanse of red.

    Far away, that terrifying radiance shone dazzlingly. The vast expanse of red started spreading.

    That was¡ª

    Fire!

    Bang!

    The dazzling fire spread along the nts in the area. The forest was filled with nts. However, under normal circumstances, the fire would definitely not have burned so fiercely.

    However, under the effect of the demonic fern, all the nts had grown greatly.

    In order to increase his strength, Qin Hai had created a true nt kingdom in the radius of 100 meters around him, not leaving any nk spot in the radius.

    Bang!

    The fire burned.

    Within the area, after all the nts were consumed by the fierce fire, they were reduced to nothing but ruin.

    However, opposite Chen Feng, Qin Hai was merely staring at him with ridicule in his eyes.

    Fire?

    "Hehe."

    Qin Hai sneered. "Are you really so naive as to believe that all nts will be burned by fire?"

    Shua!

    Layers of nts surrounded him.

    Those nts with cold-rted properties that were harder to burn made up the very firstyer of the nts.

    "Ah." Chen Feng merely looked at him calmly. "My fire is very powerful, yo."

    Bang!

    The spreading fire finally reached Qin Hai¡¯s nt kingdom.

    Bang!

    An explosion of me.

    All the nts there were instantly ignited.

    "How is that possible?"

    Qin Hai¡¯s expression changed greatly. What damnable fire was this?!

    No!

    Impossible!

    There were countless unburnable nt here...

    Go!

    Block the fire! Qin Hai howled inwardly.

    However...

    There was no use.

    All his controlled nts were burned after they charged forth, akin to a moth that flew into a me.

    Even those nts that were normally unburnable were now burning fiercely.

    The fire grew in intensity before finally covering Qin Hai. The Qin Hai that had transformed into a demonic fern was currently a nt himself. Hence, facing such an intense fire, there was nowhere he could hide!

    "This is impossible..."

    Qin Hai couldn¡¯t believe this.

    It was over!

    Bang!

    A terrifying explosion of me.

    In the virtual livestream room, everyone remain dazed for a long time.

    It was over, just like that?

    The nt kingdom Qin Hai had painstakingly built was torched and burned clean by Chen Feng. On top of that, even Qin Hai was burnt together.

    "This..."

    "Such a fire exists?"

    "God knows, I suppose this is another special reagent again?"

    Everyone was shaken.

    Everyone was aware that the demonic fern was something that could easily burn.

    However...

    Its opponent need to first have the chance to set it on fire.

    After transforming into a demonic fern, all the nts within a radius of 100 meters around Qin Hai were under his control. He should¡¯ve been able to easily block the fire off. Unexpectedly, Chen Feng¡¯s special fire was able to ignite all types of nts!

    This was the most terrifying aspect of what had happened.

    Qin Hai¡¯s demonic fern gene reagent was once again countered by Chen Feng.

    This time...

    Another never-before-seen gene reagent was used as well.

    That was what the masses guessed.

    Not far away, Chen Feng was looking on calmly.

    Mystical fire?

    There was no such thing.

    The instant the fire had started spreading, he¡¯d activated Luck Aura. The nts that were stimted by the demonic fern¡¯s fire were already in an extremely unstable mode. Under Luck Aura¡¯s effect, they had immediately mutated.

    All the nts that were hard to burn had mutated, changing their property to one that was easier to burn.

    This was the reason the fire had grown so fiercely.

    One hundred points of luck value!

    Causing an unprecedented fire!

    "Bang!"

    An endless explosion of fire.

    After a long time.

    The fire disappeared, leaving a vast expanse of wreckage behind. At the spot Qin Hai had been, a huge ck charred object was there.

    That was a dead demonic fern!

    Had it ended?

    Everyone guessed.

    However.

    Right at this moment.

    Ka!

    Ka!

    The demonic fern split open. A ck and white silhouette crawled out of the demonic fern with great difficulty.

    He was still alive!

    Chen Feng sneered. He did not find this surprising. Even if Qin Hai was still alive, he was already gravely injured.

    Taking one¡¯s life while one was down!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed with a cold glint as he decisively made his move at this moment.

    However, at the same time, Qin Hai abruptly raised his head.

    The face that was usually good-looking appeared somewhat twisted now. A faint energy erupted and started swirling around Qin Hai¡¯s body at that instant.

    "Li!!!!!"

    A mournful screech.

    "Bang!"

    All the ash left behind by the fire was blown away. Chen Feng¡¯s gaze blurred before he instantly appeared in a brand new world.

    This was¡ª

    Digitized world!

 Chapter 163: Qin Haiâ€™s Secret

    Chapter 163: Qin Hai¡¯s Secret

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Two digitized worlds started ovepping.

    The void under their feet became a firm earth. That was Chen Feng¡¯s portion of the digitized world. What rmed others about the ovepped digitized world was the fact that a huge pce descended from the sky.

    Bang!

    A dazzling golden pce.

    It appeared incredibly conspicuous in this multicolored digitized world.

    Hum¡ª

    Spiritual energy flickered.

    Qin Hai¡¯s silhouette appeared in front of the pce.

    This... was his portion of the ovepped digitized world!

    "You are actually able to force me to this point."

    Qin Hai left his pce and started stepping forth step by step.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    One ceramic tile after another formed beneath Qin Hai¡¯s feet, forming a path for him to step on.

    "This is..."

    Chen Feng inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    Building a path as he walked?

    What damnable ability was this?

    Qin Hai had a serene expression. "Initially, I hadn¡¯t wanted to use this."

    In his eyes, a bizarre ck aura flickered.

    "This guy..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted.

    He was sure that something was definitely wrong with this Qin Hai guy.

    Not wanting to use this?

    Why?!

    If Qin Hai¡¯s digital battle capability was really so powerful, he could do what Chen Feng had done in his earlier matches, using digital battles to defeat his opponent!

    It would be too easy!

    Gene armament?

    Demonic fern?

    He would be able to easily obtain victory without using either of those.

    However...

    He only chose to use it at thest moment?

    There had to be a problem with this!

    Chen Feng focused his gaze.

    He knew that as long as he found the problem, he would definitely win!

    Or perhaps...

    "Chen Feng, goodbye."

    A sneer formed on Qin Hai¡¯s mouth.

    Hua!

    Behind him, from that huge pce, heavy yet orderly footsteps could be heard. Chen Feng raised his head and looked over at the pce. There, an army of armored soldier appeared. These were actually soldiers formed purely from gene fragments!

    "Kill!"

    Qin Hai raised his hand.

    Hua!

    All the soldiers shot forth toward Chen Feng!

    "Bang!"

    The livestream rooms were shocked.

    "Qin Hai¡¯s digitized world is so powerful?"

    "Having a pce is powerful enough. To think that he had even established an army there?"

    "This..."

    Everyone found this inconceivable.

    Digital battles had appeared in the previous Gene Rookie Competitions as well. However, these were mostly digital battles where simple attacking and defending moves were used. Such aplete structure had never appeared in a Gene Rookie Competition before.

    "Perhaps..."

    "This is the strength of an advanced gene producer?" someone muttered in a low voice.

    Only at this did everyone recall that Qin Hai was already an advanced gene producer!

    "Something is going to happen!"

    Everyone was rmed. "In this match, Qin Hai was beaten back twice by Chen Feng and was almost killed. Now, with how powerful he is in digital battles, I¡¯m afraid he will not let Chen Feng off!"

    Hopefully...

    Nothing bad would happen!

    Everyone was unable to take their eyes off.

    At this time, in the virtualpany building, Gao Yunfeng and Hou Liang were unprecedentedly attentive to this match as well.

    They wished that the strongest producer would result from this match. However, they did not wish for anything to happen to either of them as well. Regardless of it being Chen Feng or Qin Hai, both were the strongest geniuses.

    For the very first time, Hou Liang issued amand: "If we really can¡¯t help it, we can just stop the match with force!"

    "Understood," Gao Yunfeng replied.

    In this confrontation between the two strongest geniuses, who would be victorious?

    Everyone was looking forward to it.

    However, they were also clear that, against this true digitized world, against this advanced producer Qin Hai, against this huge pce, against these soldiers, was there truly any hope of victory for Chen Feng?

    "Bang!"

    The army of soldiers charged toward Chen Feng.

    A smile formed on Chen Feng¡¯s lips. "I¡¯ll be counting on you."

    Xiu!

    A red sh.

    A perfectly straight red line shed through the air, piercing through the first soldier it encountered. Next, it curved in a perfect arc and pierced through the soldier beside it.

    Pu!

    Pu!

    Pu!

    The red sh streaked back and forth.

    One soldier after another copsed.

    That red sh appeared incredibly dazzling in that multicolored world. Its speed was so fast that afterimages were left behind. Every single time it shed, countless soldiers would copse.

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    The red was dazzling.

    The several hundred solders under Qin Hai¡¯s control copsed on their path of assault.

    Beng!

    Beng!

    All the solders dispersed, changing back into gene fragments.

    This seemed more like a one-man show of that red light, shocking everyone watching!

    "You..."

    Qin Hai looked at Chen Feng with an unbelievable expression.

    He was very clear on how powerful those soldiers were. Any random one of them was capable of crushing a newbie¡¯s entire newly formed digitized world.

    For someone at the level of Zhao Tian?

    A single soldier was sufficient.

    Now, though, all these soldiers were pierced by that red light?

    What ability was that?!

    This was the very first time Qin Hai felt shocked. This was also the first time he felt the peculiar aura surrounding Chen Feng, a freak more freakish than him!

    Qin Hai inhaled deeply. "Time to clean this up."

    He had to end this quickly to avoid anything unexpected happening. There were truly too many variables when facing this Chen Feng.

    Trump card?

    There was no point.

    Since he was already here, he might as well use the strongest method at his disposal to erase Chen Feng. Despite that being something he wanted to never use, despite... that being somewhat dangerous to use!

    "Hum¡ª"

    A sh of ck light.

    Qin Hai¡¯s body was enveloped by ayer of ck armor.

    "Go!"

    A sh of red light.

    The red light that was coiled around Chen Feng streaked forth toward Qin Hai.

    However...

    Ding!

    A crisp sound.

    That perfectly straight red light failed to pierce through the armor!

    What¡¯s going on?

    Chen Feng was astonished. He could clearly feel Xiao Ying¡¯s pain. It was a feeling akin to what one felt when one¡¯s nose smashed into a steel te when running at full speed...

    Hum¡ª

    Xiao Ying transmitted a pitiful emotion over to him.

    "Try one more time?" Chen Feng proposed.

    Ding!

    Another crisp sound. Once again, Xiao Ying returned without aplishing anything.

    What¡¯s going on?!

    Chen Feng was shocked.

    Others might think that this was a pure attack. However, Chen Feng was clear that Xiao Ying was a special existence capable of devouring genes. It had actually failed to devour this armor?

    Was it because the armor was too firm?

    Chen Feng asked Xiao Ying. The answer he received was...

    It couldn¡¯t be eaten!

    In other words, this thing here, was not formed of genes!

    If it was not formed of gene fragments, how had it appeared in this world?

    Chen Feng abruptly realized something.

    This might be rted to the reason Qin Hai did not n to use his digitized world, the secret he was concealing might very well be here. As long as Chen Feng found out what the issue was, Qin Hai¡¯s defense would naturally be foiled!

    This world...

    Chen Feng looked toward the world behind Qin Hai. That huge pce!

    Xiao Ying!

    Xiu!

    A sh of red light.

    "Ah."

    Qin Hai merely sneered.

    Wanting to break through the defense of his pce?

    How naive!

    One had to know...

    That was...

    Bang!

    Xiao Ying pierced through the pce.

    A glimmer of light appeared on the pce. It had been pierced through!

    "Howl¡ª" Qin Hai raged immediately.

    "Bang!"

    The digitized world trembled.

    Chen Feng wanted to see what was contained within the pce, but he failed. This was because the raging Qin Hai had suddenly increased tenfold in size and attacked Chen Feng.

    "Pu!"

    A sword pierced through Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng, defeated.

    "Bang!"

    The digitized world crumbled.

    The Qin Hai that was on the brink of victory had instead shut down the digitized world with force.

    "Pu!"

    Blood spilled out of the chest of Chen Feng¡¯s physical body in the simted environment.

    Injured!

    Despite this being only a single attack, despite the fact that his spiritual body was notpletely destroyed, he was still gravely injured. What he couldn¡¯t understand was why Qin Hai had taken the initiative to shut down the digitized world?

    One had to know that Qin Hai was holding the advantage in the digitized world!

    The power he erupted with waspletely capable of crushing Chen Feng!

    If he had used one more second tond another attack on Chen Feng, Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual body would have been directly erased, and he would have died not only in the digitized world. Instead, he would suffer a true death!

    However...

    In such a situation, Qin Hai had taken the initiative to shut down the digitized world?

    Something was indeed wrong with him!

    Chen Feng had a solemn mood.

    He was clear that the entire secret, the answer for everything, was within that pce, the interior of the pce that had been about to be exposed ealier!

 Chapter 164: Whatâ€™s Chen Feng Planning to Do?

    Chapter 164: What¡¯s Chen Feng nning to Do?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Qin Hai ended the digital battle?"

    "He could¡¯ve secured his victory then and there, right..."

    The viewers were confused.

    "It¡¯s probably because that power he unleashed was too powerful, copsing the digitized world," someone guessed.

    Regardless of how Chen Feng and Qin Hai conducted their battle, there would be some experts capable ofing up with an exnation for their actions.

    "Did anyone see anything?"

    "From that pce, only a flicker of glimmering could be seen."

    "Hey, same here."

    "I really want to see what¡¯s inside it..."

    Everyone¡¯s curiosity was piqued.

    However, no one was able to get a clear look.

    Qin Hai had been extremely decisive, not wasting a single second. At the crucial moment, he had ended the digital battle without the slightest hesitation, not giving anyone the chance to get a clear look.

    "This match is going to end soon anyway, right?"

    Some looked toward the match.

    Currently.

    Qin Hai was gravely injured!

    Chen Feng¡¯s fire had truly left him in a miserable condition.

    Chen Feng was gravely injured!

    Wounded by Qin Hai in the digitized world, his vitality was gravely damaged.

    However, despite the fact that both of them were gravely injured, due to Qin Hai¡¯s act of ending the digital battle and letting go of his chance to erase Chen Feng then and there, Chen Feng¡¯s injury was clearly lighter. Hence, this was Chen Feng¡¯s chance!

    He only needed to walk over, get rid of Qin Hai, and he would be victorious!

    Chen Feng would be the champion of this year¡¯s Gene Rookie Competition!

    Everyone was filled with expectation.

    They knew that thepetition would end very soon.

    However, outside of everyone¡¯s expectations, at this moment, Chen Feng suddenly startedughing wildly. "I understand, hahahaha, I understand. So that¡¯s the case!"

    Shua!

    With the final breath he had, he turned around and escaped!

    That¡¯s right.

    He escaped!

    He did not engage in a final struggle against Qin Hai. Instead, he turned around and escaped.

    "Has he gone insane?"

    Everyone was dumbstruck.

    Earlier, Qin Hai had let go of the chance to kill Chen Feng, wasting the perfect opportunity he had. Now, Chen Feng had turned around and escaped, wasting his perfect opportunity as well.

    What on earth were these two people thinking?

    Everyone could no longer understand what was going on.

    However, just as Chen Feng left.

    Hum¡ª

    Qin Hai had, with great difficulty, gulped down a ck-colored gene reagent.

    Dong!

    Dong!

    A vigorous heartbeat sound could be heard.

    All the injuries on Qin Hai¡¯s body were recovering at a rapid speed, and the scars on his body started disappearing. The originally gravely injured Qin Hai was actually recovering rapidly!

    "The f*ck?"

    "Could this be some D-ss healing gene reagent?"

    Everyone eximed in admiration.

    No wonder Chen Feng had escaped without hesitation!

    With such a gene reagent in Qin Hai¡¯s hand, Chen Feng could only die!

    However...

    What was the meaning behind Chen Feng¡¯s wildughter earlier?

    No one understood!

    At this time.

    After leaving, Chen Feng started gathering materials and producing gene reagents at a frantic pace. Due to the concentration of all sorts of materials in the simted environment, Chen Feng was able to quickly find all his required materials.

    Gene production!

    Shua!

    Chen Feng started a rapid pace of production.

    Currently, Qin Hai was healing rapidly.

    "Fast, fast, fast!"

    Everyone had anxious expressions.

    Qin Hai had a healing gene reagent prepared in advance, yet Chen Feng had none. Hence, he could only produce on the spot! If Qin Hai were to make his move before Chen Feng was done...

    One second...

    Two seconds...

    Three seconds...

    Everyone watched on nervously.

    The gene search step required time, and the gene reaction stage required time!

    These required time...

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The speed in which Chen Feng¡¯s hands moved exceeded everyone¡¯s expectation.

    Luck Aura, activate!

    In every gene production step, he would enter the most optimal mode he was capable of!

    At this time, not far away, Qin Hai¡¯s cold gazended on Chen Feng.

    The distance between them was not great. He could at any time interrupt his healing and attack Chen Feng. However, he did not do that. That was because he was also unsure of whether Chen Feng still had any trump cards hidden or not.

    The moment he interrupted his healing, if Chen Feng still had some trump cards hidden... it would be deeply troubling!

    Hence, he decided to wait until he waspletely healed.

    He believed that Chen Feng would definitely not have such a terrifying gene reagent!

    That was because what Qin Hai had used was technically not a gene reagent!

    Hehe?

    Healing gene reagent?

    That was simply a fake alert!

    A cold radiance gleamed in Qin Hai¡¯s eyes.

    Hum¡ª

    One second!

    Two seconds!

    Three seconds!

    Qin Hai could feel his body recovering toward its peak condition, recovering to the highest height he had ever reached since his breakthrough. Moreover, he could even faintly feel that his strength had somewhat increased!

    "Bang!"

    The power in his body had finally recovered.

    Qin Hai moved his body, feeling an unprecedented abundance of power swelling within.

    He had returned to his peak condition!

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone in the livestream rooms inhaled a mouthful of cold breath.

    What gene reagent was this?

    It was so powerful?

    They were aware that a young master from an influential family like Qin Hai had a deep background, so he would definitely have many mystical gene forms with high star ratings at his disposal. However, aplete recovery?

    This, this, this...

    Was somewhat excessive!

    "At least 5-star D-ss gene reagent!" someone spected.

    Anyhow, Qin Hai had sessfully used it.

    "Chen Feng is finished!"

    "That¡¯s not for sure. He haspleted his gene production as well."

    Everyone instinctively looked over. As Qin Hai recovered to his peak, Chen Feng had alsopleted his gene production. However, when everyone looked at his gene reagent, they felt helpless.

    It was actually¡ª

    This gene reagent?!

    ----

    Mutated Icefox Gene ¨C unknown

    ss: E

    Type: Special

    Function: Enables one to use Iceheart. Triggering the potential within the icefox¡¯s gene, able to heal every type of injury and spiritual damage within a certain area of effect. The healing effect and area of effect radius depend on the amount of energy exhausted.

    Usage: Triggered by energy storage items (the higher the amount of energy, the stronger the effect)

    ----

    That very gene reagent everyone here was well acquainted with!

    This was the very gene reagent that had yed a crucial role during the third round. However, the reason for this gene reagent being so powerful back than was due to the energy storage items avable in the kingdom¡¯s warehouse!

    Due to that terrifying supply of energy!

    In itself, despite being a mutated gene reagent, this was not a powerful gene reagent!

    "This..."

    Everyone was speechless.

    So, after so much effort, Chen Feng had actually produced such a gene reagent? In a situation where no energy source was supplied to it, when this gene reagent was used alone, it was simply an ordinary E-ss gene reagent!

    It would not be able to disy any special effects!

    "Is this due to Chen Feng not having any other healing gene reagent forms?"

    "Probably."

    Everyone sighed.

    Facing a peak condition Qin Hai, Chen Feng would most probably be defeated here.

    Even if they were to use the same attack gene reagent, Qin Hai would still be able to easily insta-kill Chen Feng. Under his current condition, how was it possible for Chen Feng to win?

    Qin Haiughed. "You are going to use this gene for healing?"

    This Chen Feng had indeed exhausted everything he had.

    Have I overestimated you?

    Qin Hai¡¯s lips curled up, forming a smile.

    Then...

    It¡¯s time for this to end?

    An attack gene reagent appeared in his hand.

    At this time.

    Chen Feng had taken out his mutated icefox gene reagent as well. However, out of everyone¡¯s expectations, he did not use it on himself. Instead...

    He aimed it at Qin Hai!

    "Are you crazy?"

    Qin Hai looked at Chen Feng with an expression like he was looking at an idiot.

    This guy was actually using a healing gene reagent to attack him. Was his brain damaged?

    Even the viewers were all confused. Chen Feng couldn¡¯t be suffering from some brain damage because his digitized world had been shattered earlier right?

    Something simr seemed to have happened before in the pastpetitions.

    "Bang!"

    A beam of light descended from the sky.

    Chen Feng sneered before activating his icefox gene reagent toward Qin Hai.

    At this moment, in the Qin family¡¯s great hall, a bizarre huge maic energy board was hovering in the middle of the hall. Around it were seven huge pirs that were flickering with dark radiance. Terrifying gusts of energy formed without stop on the pirs. The seven pirs formed a bizarre rune that was suppressing the maic energy board in the middle of the hall.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The ck aura bubbled without stop.

    On the maic energy board, a frail silhouette could be seen. An expression of pain could currently be seen on that silhouette.

    That silhouette...

    Had exactly the same appearance as Qin Hai!

    His expressions and movements were exactly the same as the Qin Hai that was shown on the screen that was broadcasting the match!

 Chapter 165: Shall Never Be Enslaved!

    Chapter 165: Shall Never Be Enved!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "My grandchild," Old Man Qin said coldly, "are you still resisting? From the moment you were born until now, how much has the Qin family given you? Is it so hard for you to repay us this one time?

    "Give up!

    "For our Qin family...

    "For everyone!"

    On the maic energy board.

    "Rumble¡ª"

    Qin Hai clenched his teeth tightly.

    Despite his suppressed consciousness, his gaze was still as firm as ever, "I... Qin Hai... won¡¯t... be... your... ve..."

    Qin Hai¡¯s expression started twisting as he struggled.

    All those bizarre movements of Qin Hai¡¯s they saw on the screen originated from this!

    Despite them blocking his speech and using their own speech as a recement, Qin Hai¡¯s expression was something they couldn¡¯t block. Hence, this was why everyone else kept having a feeling that the current Qin Hai was quite bizarre.

    "Hehe. My good grandchild, is there a need for this..." Old Man Qin sighed.

    Since Qin Hai¡¯s childhood, he had been trained by Old Man Qin to be persistent and strong.

    This caused his willpower to be tough and durable.

    He had never expected this to be used against them instead!

    "You must know, your perseverance, your tough willpower, all this resulted from the training we gave you." Old Man Qin sneered.

    A sneer leaked out of Qin Hai¡¯s throat. "Ah... ah..."

    "Increase the power!" Old Man Qin howled. "Every single motion of Qin Hai¡¯s must be standardized. We can¡¯t let anyone see through this. Even his voice must be altered ordingly. Do you hear me?!"

    "Yes." The rest did not dare make any other noise.

    Charm!

    Control!

    Reagent!

    They had an all-rounded control over Qin Hai.

    However, even with all that, there would be asional instances where Qin Hai was able to struggle out of their control.

    Thorough these 20 years, they had been training Qin Hai¡¯s abilities and persistence. However, they had never imagined that Qin Hai¡¯s willpower was terrifying to such an extent, reaching a height that far surpassed the average person.

    At a different side of the hall, a person that greatly resembled Qin Hai was seated on the maic energy board. Around him, light swirled without stop. This person was unconscious. However, there was a thin thread that connected him to Qin Hai¡¯s body.

    This was Qin Hai¡¯s substitute, the bizarre Qin Hai that was currently in thepetition!

    After exhausting every avable option, they still failed to fully control Qin Hai. To avoid anything unexpected happening, they could only use Qin Hai¡¯s cousin to rece Qin Hai¡¯s consciousness! In every match, whenever Qin Hai¡¯s body needed to do something, energy would be released from the pirs to stimte Qin Hai¡¯s body to perform the actions required.

    This was the method they had chosen to control Qin Hai!

    This...

    Was also the true form of the Qin Hai that had appeared during the match.

    "You won¡¯t be able tost any longer." Old Man Qin sneered. "You shall be a sword of the Qin family! Your might be crippled of your future potential, but in exchange, our Qin family has obtained the best partner to work with in the future!

    "However, even with this, when thepetition ends, your title as the champion can still be used to gain a huge amount of wealth. When we have fully exhausted every benefit your body can bring to us, we will expel you from the Qin family."

    Old Man Qin already had everything nned out. For Qin Hai, they had given too much. Hence, they had to recover it all back!

    "I... won¡¯t... allow you... to prevail." Qin Hai gnashed these words from his teeth word by word.

    He was unable to open his mouth. His body was no longer controlled by himself. However, he was still able to make his voice heard!

    "Hehe." Old Man Qin merely sneered at that. Resisting? What right do you have to resist! The moment you were born, that thing was nted in your body. From the moment you were born, you were destined to be a weapon of the Qin family, existing as a puppet!

    At this time, in the hall, they could see from the screen that was broadcasting thepetition that Chen Feng had taken out an icefox gene reagent.

    "Are you counting on him?" Old Man Qin indifferently said, "Although he smashed the pce open earlier, no one noticed your existence. They have no idea what¡¯s going on!

    "Now... he will die in your hands as well!"

    Is that so? Qin Hai¡¯s gazended on the gene reagent in Chen Feng¡¯s hand. At the sight of this, his eyes gleamed. Haha! It¡¯s that gene! Chen Feng, you have indeed not disappointed me! Next.. .It¡¯s all yours!

    **

    At this time, in the forest, a special energy belonging to a mutated icefox gene bloomed.

    Qin Hai merely sneered.

    He was sure that Chen Feng¡¯s brain was damaged.

    However, it was at this moment that Qin Hai suddenly had a bad feeling. He had suddenly recalled something, the other function this mutated icefox gene reagent had¡ª

    Purification!

    Could it be...

    Qin Hai¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    Damn it!

    Chen Feng had seen through him and specially prepared this gene reagent for him!

    "Escape!"

    Instinctively, Qin Hai wanted to escape.

    However...

    It was toote!

    Bang!

    That terrifying beam of light descended upon him.

    Qin Hai¡¯s expression became even stranger. An expression appeared on his face that was rmed, smiling, and unbelieving, all at the same time. He couldn¡¯t believe that Chen Feng had actually guessed the truth!

    How was that possible?!

    Even the elders of the Gene Production Association had failed to see through him!

    However, opposite him, Chen Feng merely watched on with a serene expression.

    Let it end...

    Chen Feng sighed inwardly.

    All his doubts and questions had been answered the moment the pce in the digitized world had been smashed apart. Despite him not having seen it, Xiao Ying had been able to see it!

    In everyone¡¯s eyes, Xiao Ying was merely a weapon!

    Only a skill of Chen Feng¡¯s!

    Only Chen Feng knew that Xiao Ying was a living being!

    It transmitted the scene it had witnessed to Chen Feng. It was at that instant that Chen Feng had finally understood the meaning behind the huge pce in Qin Hai¡¯s digitized world!

    That pce...

    Had been constructed to imprison the real Qin Hai!

    During thepetition, the Qin Hai here was actually a fake Qin Hai! The body belonged to Qin Hai, but the consciousness had been swapped long ago!

    As for in a digital battle?

    The real Qin Hai would definitely appear!

    Hence...

    "Qin Hai" did not dare to engage in any digital battles!

    However, in the final moments, he had been forced to engage in it once and had almost been exposed by Chen Feng on the spot. This was also the reason he had ignored everything else and ended the digitized world¡¯s activation!

    That was because... if they had stayed there for one extra second, everyone worldwide would have been able to see it! They would have been able to see the real Qin Hai that was imprisoned by seven pirs in that pce!

    Hence, after escaping, Chen Feng had produced the icefox gene reagent.

    For that single instant of purification!

    He was not aware of how powerful his reagent¡¯s purification was. However, he had witnessed Qin Hai¡¯s perseverance. That guy, even under such circumstances, was still able to struggle and resist!

    That terrifying willpower had caused even Chen Feng to be moved!

    Qin Hai! Next, it¡¯s your turn!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were sharp as lighting.

    At this moment, in the Qin family, when the power of the mutated icefox gene reagent blossomed, that purification energy appeared on Qin Hai¡¯s body. At this moment, all the ck pirs instantly lost their effect!

    Old Man Qin¡¯s expression changed. "Not good."

    Bang!

    An explosion of light.

    On the maic energy board, Qin Hai erupted.

    Bang!

    The Qin Hai that had long prepared himself punched toward the joining point of all seven pirs, destroying the terrifying energy cycle there. This was the weak point of the pirs.

    Qin Hai had been aiming for this spot for a long time!

    Bang!

    The terrifying ck aura started bubbling.

    Ka!

    Ka!

    All the ck pirs crumbled!

    "Qin Hai!"

    Old Man Qin was furious.

    These pirs were something given to them by that person!

    "You are merely a crippled person now! Even if your consciousness returns to your body, your body is still crippled! If you stay in the Qin family and work for us, I will forge a new body for you! I will give you a new future! You should be aware that I am truly capable of that! As long as you be the champion..." Old Man Qin enticed him. "I will make you stronger, bing the strongest person in Qin family. I swear with my ability that I willply with my promise. You should know that I will not be able to go against this swear!"

    "Old Qin!"

    Everyone gasped.

    Old Man Qin was truly going all out.

    Since he had sworn with his ability, he would have to abide to it!

    This wasmon knowledge.

    "No."

    The rest were rmed.

    God!

    They had used such methods on Qin Hai. The moment Qin Hai returned...

    I don¡¯t want this either. Old Man Qin felt somewhat guilty; however, he truly had no other options!

    Presently, they could only do this to tempt Qin Hai to stick with them!

    For the Qin family...

    However, on the maic energy board, the only answer they received was Qin Hai¡¯s wildughter.

    "Hahahahaha! Do you think that I will still listen to you?"

    A sword of consciousness appeared in Qin Hai¡¯s hand.

    Bang!

    Dark light flickered in Old Man Qin¡¯s hand.

    "Qin Hai!" Killing intent shed in his eyes. "Secure first ce and the Qin family will appoint you as the head! After my death, this will be your world! If you still insist on acting recklessly... I will definitely end you!"

    Qin Haiughed heartily. "Haha."

    Bang!

    The sword of consciousness in his hand started radiating.

    Bang!

    Qin Hai¡¯s body soared and shed toward the other maic energy board beside him with his cousin on it.

    "You dare!" Old Man Qin raged as the ck light in his hand shot forth toward Qin Hai.

    Bang!

    A terrifying radiance bloomed.

    Qin Hai¡¯s half crouched figure, the sword ray that was descending from his hand, the iing ck light, everything there seemed to erupt at this single instant!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Vaguely, Old Man Qin seemed to hear Qin Hai¡¯s firm voice.

    "I, Qin Hai, shall! never! be! enved!"

    Bang!

    Everything was submerged by the explosion.

    The substitute died!

    The maic board was destroyed!

    More than half of the Qin family was reduced to ruins!

    "It¡¯s over..."

    Old Man Qin looked at the departing consciousness of Qin Hai and closed his eyes painfully. In the end, what sort of freak had their Qin family trained!?

    Currently, in the match, Qin Hai was struggling painfully.

    Vaguely, a smiling expression could be seen on his face. He appeared like he was in pain, yet he was smiling at the same time. Suddenly, he felt that his body was no longer under his control as a gust of faint aura started dispersing from his body.

    He was somewhat rmed. What happened?

    "You are back?" Chen Feng asked knowingly. Then... it¡¯s time!

    Shua!

    Chen Feng pointed.

    Digitized world, activate!

    "Hum¡ª"

    Once again, the digitized world descended.

    Chen Feng had a decisive gaze, while opposite him, Qin Hai¡¯s expression became even more twisted. His whole body was engulfed by a ck aura as a terrifying armor wrapped around his body.

    "Chen Feng! You are courting death!" Qin Hai roared.

    He had lost his contact with the Qin family. He had also lost contact with his own body. Moreover, he could feel that he was gradually losing control of this body!

    He knew that something had happened in the Qin family! He had to kill Chen Feng as fast as possible and leave here to return to the Qin family! Qin Hai was very sure of this.

    "Kill!" he bellowed.

    Qin Hai erupted instantly.

    Bang!

    Shadow attack!

    In his current condition, Qin Hai was akin to a war god. Especially when he was raging, he was nearly undefeated. Hence, Chen Feng was simply not his match!

    However, Chen Feng merely smiled.

    Xiu!

    A sh of red light.

    Chen Feng pointed toward the pce behind Qin Hai!

    "Pu!"

    "Pu!"

    The huge pce in the digitized world was pierced through.

    "Bang!"

    The pce copsed!

    "Bang!"

    The huge pce copsed, turning into a ruin.

    "You think that you will have a chance of winning just because you destroyed the pce?

    "You are gravely mistaken! Before itpletely crumbles, I will definitely kill you!"

    Qin Hai was filled with killing intent.

    This time around, he was well prepared. He condensed all the power his body could muster. Although he was gradually losing control of the body, he was confident that he would be able to deal with Chen Feng before it happened!

    Killing you! Thepetition will end! Killing you... everything will remain!

    Bang!

    A sh of ck light with an unblockable force!

    "Come!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were as sharp as lighting.

    Xiu!

    Red light shed.

    Once again, Xiao Ying shed forth with a sharp gleam.

    That dazzling red string and the huge ck radiance were about to collide!

    Everyone held their breath.

    However, just as the Qin Hai that was enveloped by ck aura reached Chen Feng.

    Just as the two of them were going to face off for onest time, a bright silhouette descended from the skies, radiating with a dazzling light!

    "Bang!"

    That dazzling silhouette descended from the skies!

    "Pu!"

    In the silhouette¡¯s hand, a sharp energy sword blossomed and resolutely stabbed down.

    "Who is this?" Qin Hai felt something was amiss. "Scram!"

    Bang!

    A terrifying ck aura erupted and charged upward.

    However, outside of everyone¡¯s expectations, the ck aura that seemed undefeated became so fragile before that shiny silhouette. That sharp energy sword seemed to be capable of cutting through everything and could not be blocked at all!

    Qin Haiughed malevolently. "This is your trump card? Hehe. Feigning a final face-off with me before summoning an energy sword to sneak attack me from above? You truly believe such a childish attacking method willwork?"

    "Come! Let me show you my true strength!"

    Bang!

    Once again, the ck aura bubbled.

    A gust of terrifying power erupted from Qin Hai¡¯s body. With his body as the point of origin, a huge ck undtion spread around him. It appeared so scary it caused one¡¯s heart to palpitate!

    At this time, Chen Feng maintained his firm gaze.

    Xiu!

    Red light shed.

    The super fast red light streaked forth in a straight line.

    In the sky, that dazzling silhouette finallynded as well.

    Xiu!

    The energy sword transformed into a golden ray!

    Currently, in the dark digitized world.

    Only an eye-grabbing red sh that was parallel to the ground and a perfectly straight golden ray that was descending from above could be seen. One horizontal and one vertical, one red and one gold, pierced through the ck shining globe that Qin Hai had transformed into.

    "Bang!"

    The three of them finally colluded!

    Time seemed to pause at this moment.

    That red sh and gold sh were so incredibly resplendent.

    Suddenly.

    Bang!

    A loud sound!

    The earth crumbled!

    The dense energy filling the digitized word exploded!

    A dazzling radiance.

    "It¡¯s starting!"

    Everyone¡¯s hearts trembled.

    They knew that the final confrontation was going to end soon!

    The survivor from this would be the final champion!

    At this time, when that dazzling radiance faded.

    Who won?

    Everyone looked over and was collectively stunned.

    Qin Hai...

    Was lying on the ground.

    His chest was pierced through by an energy sword. That shining silhouette was pressing the energy sword down, impaling Qin Hai on the ground in front of Chen Feng.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    Dying like this...

    "It¡¯s you..." Qin Hai stared at the silhouette in front of him with an unbelievable expression.

    The silhouetteughed. "Goodbye."

    "Pu!"

    The energy sword was fully inserted into him.

    Qin Hai, dead!

    "Bang!"

    The whole world went into an uproar.

    Everyone in the virtual livestream rooms was rmed.

    This...

    They had all believed that the silhouette was one of Chen Feng¡¯s digital battle skills, something simr to Qin Hai¡¯s soldiers. However, no one had expected that...

    It could actually talk?!

    A third party?!

    Shit!

    There was a third party in this digitized world?

    This was a spectacr final battle. Everyone was attentively watching it lest they miss out on any details. However, it had never crossed their mind that a third party would appear!

    This was the digitized world!

    "What on earth is that thing?"

    Everyone¡¯s hearts jolted furiously.

    And it was also at this moment that, as Qin Hai died, the radiance surrounding the silhouette faded. The third party¡¯s true appearance was exposed. With this, the over 100 million viewers in the virtual livestream rooms were almost scared shitless.

    That was because the person that had appeared was Qin Hai as well!

    This...

    The f*ck?

    Everyone was stunned. What the f*ck was going on?!

    "???"

    Everyone was stupefied.

    At this time, as ¡®Qin Hai¡¯ died, the ck aura that was no longer under any control started spreading everywhere. However, under Qin Hai¡¯s suppression, the ck aura could only struggle pitifully.

    This ck aura was an existance surpassing someone at their current level.

    However...

    This was Qin Hai¡¯s world! When the real Qin Hai appeared, when his consciousness descended, everything was over.

    Death of his real body!

    Death of his consciousness!

    The person that had taken over Qin Hai¡¯s body had truly died.

    Chen Feng looked at Qin Hai.

    A dazzling smile appeared on Qin Hai¡¯s face. That bright and warm genius that always gave off an iparable cozy feeling to others, that omnipotent genius had returned. "Thanks, Chen Feng."

    Chen Feng merely smiled.

    "I owe you my life," Qin Hai said with a smile. "In the future, I will return the favor."

    Bang!

    The digitized world copsed.

    In the forest, Qin Hai returned to his body. The energy sword condensed in his hand and was directly stabbed into his own chest. Since he was aware of the thing that was in his body, he would absolutely not allow that thing to control him anymore!

    Let¡¯s end this! This ridiculous farce! End this! Everything given by the Qin family!

    "Pu!"

    Dazzling light swirled around him.

    A bizarre radiance flickered on Qin Hai¡¯s body. His formidable consciousness started shing against the ck aura.

    Such powerful willpower!

    Admiration appeared in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    "Chen Feng... help me," Qin Hai muttered.

    Both Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were sharp as lighting as his fingernded on Qin Hai¡¯s forehead.

    Goodbye!

    Bang!

    The terrifying ck and while radiance shattered.

    Qin Hai, dead!

    Shua!

    The simted environment disappeared. This long battle had finally ended with Chen Feng¡¯s victory!

    "Shua!"

    The match ended. They returned to the real world.

    Chen Feng tossed the virtual equipment on him away and charged to the Qin Hai that was not far from him.

    "Pa!"

    Qin Hai¡¯s body slumped down powerlessly.

    "Qin Hai!" Chen Feng helped him up.

    After a short while, Qin Hai opened his eyes. Although his face was frighteningly pale, a familiar smile appeared on his face.

    It was Qin Hai!

    He was alive!

    "Cough."

    Weakly, Qin Hai looked at the Chen Feng that had him in his embrace and mustered his remaining strength to say, "I¡¯m not interested in males."

    "F*ck!"

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes.

    Only after he handed Qin Hai over to the medics did he exhale in relief.

    It was finally over!

    Qin Hai had used his powerful willpower to put an end to it, erasing that thing that had caused everything and reinstating his control on his own body, ending this farce!

    However, his future...

    Chen Feng looked at Qin Hai.

    Currently, despite being weak, the smile on Qin Hai¡¯s face was unprecedentedly serene.

    Despite¡ªthe fact that he had experienced all this.

    "Why am I worrying for him?"

    Chen Fengughed involuntarily.

    With this guy¡¯s willpower, Chen Feng doubted that anything could restrict his future.

    He should instead be worried for himself. Although he had won thepetition, his foundation was still too weak. He couldn¡¯t really put all his hope on Luck Aura every single time he was engaged in a battle, right?

    I won¡¯t be surpassed by you.

    Chen Feng had a resolute gaze.

    However, Chen Feng was unaware that the whole inte was in mayhem!

    What joke was this?

    What on earth was that thing that had appeared toward the end?

    Especially the scene where Chen Feng summoned a Qin Hai to kill the other Qin Hai, this confused countless amounts of people.

    "What did I see?"

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    "Is this a new digital battling method?"

    Countless people guessed.

    There were also some that had realized that something was wrong. "Did anyone of you realize that the Qin Hai that appeared toward the end, the smile on his face, that was our real Qin Hai!"

    "Yeah, yeah, yeah!"

    "The reason I did not support Qin Hai in this match is precisely because of that cold feeling he was giving off..."

    "Not only this, the guy that died had yelled ¡®It¡¯s you¡¯ before he died. Did anyone else notice that?"

    "If so, does this mean that the one who appeared in the end was the real Qin Hai?"

    "Requesting an exnation!"

    "Requesting the truth!"

    The chat was spammed furiously. No matter what, they had never imagined that the final match of the Gene Rookie Competition would end in such a manner.

    Chen Feng summoning a shining Qin Hai to kill the dark Qin Hai?

    Too shocking!

    The match had ended. Chen Feng and Qin Hai¡¯s final confrontation had stirred the whole inte, and everyone was talking about it. This was especially true for the final scene where Chen Feng had summoned the shining Qin Hai!

    It shocked everyone.

    They knew that something had to have happened!

    At this time, not only them, even Gao Yunfeng and the other employees had stupefied expressions.

    Shining Qin Hai?

    Dark Qin Hai?

    What the f*ck was going on?!

    "Ding¡ª"

    A crisp notification resounded.

    The technician was suddenly startled awake. "Abnormal data found!"

    Shua!

    The screen flickered.

    Shortly after, the technician extracted the data. Immediately, they inhaled a mouthful of cold air. Their sealedpetition data had actually been cut off and reced with simr data!

    The technician started investigating this.

    The thing that had intercepted their report and reced their data was actually a dark aura...

    "How is this possible?!"

    The technician nked.

    Energy...

    This...

    It was those damnable special abilities again!

    The technician gnashed his teeth. When it came to technology, they were already the best. However, in this world, there still existed gic warriors possessing peculiar abilities!

    This was a sh of technology and ability!

    If it wasn¡¯t for the real Qin Hai appearing in the end, they would probably have failed to detect anything wrong even now.

    "Body recement?"

    Gao Yunfeng and the rest immediately understood what had happened.

    Cheated! Someone had actually dared to cheat right in front of them, and they had almost seeded on top of that! From a certain perspective, this could be considered as substituting the participant!

    "What a good Qin family!" Gao Yunfeng sneered. He had a rough idea of what had happened.

    Hou Liang contemted. "Interesting."

    The Qin family, how had they obtained the ability to pull this off? Why had they chosen this path? They would¡¯ve rather destroyed Qin Hai in order to get first ce? Unless...

    Hou Liang¡¯s lips curled up forming a smile. "Seems like things are getting interesting."

    "Contact Qin Hai. Get him to exin this," Gao Yunfeng said in a low voice.

    "All right."

    Everyone nodded.

    When something like this happened, Qin Hai would be the most suitable person to provide an exnation.

    Soon, Qin Hai, who had somewhat recovered, started talking to the media. Under the circumstances where he was unable to defeat Chen Feng, the Qin family had imprisoned his consciousness and used his cousin as a recement for him and tried to kill Chen Feng. However, Chen Feng had found out the truth during the match and rescued him before the both of them joined hands to spoil the Qin family¡¯s n!

    "Bang!"

    The moment this news was released, the whole world was in an uproar!

    Everyone was shocked. This was the truth?!

    "No wonder Qin Hai kept giving off an odd feeling..."

    "Ah ah ah ah ah, I knew it, our Qin Hai is definitely not such a person!"

    "The Qin family is courting death!"

    "Hmph, hmph, just wait for Gene Production Association¡¯s punishment!"

    "So that¡¯s what happened."

    "A ¡®like¡¯ for Chen Feng."

    Qin Hai¡¯s fans came out to express their support.

    It was also at this moment that a lot of people realized something.

    "Wait..."

    "Doesn¡¯t this mean that Chen Feng not only defeated Qin Hai, he also defeated the fake dark Qin Hai and had even rescued Qin Hai?!"

    As everyone thought of this, they were immediately shocked.

    Wasn¡¯t this the truth?

    Would the normal Qin Hai have been Chen Feng¡¯s match?

    Nope!

    If he was truly capable of defeating Chen Feng, the Qin family would not have taken over his body!

    The dark Qin Hai had broken through into D ss and cheated in every way possible, yet he had still failed to defeat Chen Feng!

    If his aplishment was only to this extent, it would be fine. But for Chen Feng to see through everything and rescue Qin Hai on top of that?

    "Hua¡ª"

    Everyone was shocked.

    It was at this moment that they truly realized how terrifying Chen Feng was! How powerful the champion of this year¡¯s Gene Rookie Competition was!

    At this time, the contents that were only broadcasted at thepetition channel earlier had, at the end of thepetition, spread to all the medias, every screen in existence in this world, every single ce one could watch this!

    The end of the Gene Rookie Competition and the birth of the champion...

    The captivating final confrontation...

    Chen Feng and Qin Hai joining hands...

    One after another, all of this exploded the inte.

    It was everywhere!

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    In thepetition¡¯s broadcast channel, as thepetition ended, the rey started ying.

    Only Chen Feng was highlighted in the reys!

    This was the honor belonged to Chen Feng alone, to the champion!

    At this moment, the masses were reminded of the fact that, despite all the huddles during thepetition with Chen Feng on the brink of elimination several times in incredibly precarious positions, from the start till the end, he had maintained his spot at the forefront among the participants.

    Shua!

    Second round, Chen Feng¡¯s aquarhino gene, unbreakable defense.

    Third round, Chen Feng bathing in the holy radiance, rescuing the whole kingdom.

    Fourth round, Chen Feng insta-killing all opposition, undefeated by anyone.

    Fifth round, captivating everyone present!

    First ce!

    First ce!

    He had obtained first ce in all these!

    Everyone was shocked.

    Those who had initially wanted to question Chen Feng¡¯s result had all decided to shut their mouth.

    umtion?

    Strength?

    Which of these aspects was Chen Feng weak in?

    Shua!

    The scenes on the screen changed.

    Chen Feng against Lin Ke, surprise attack like a wild beast!

    Chen Feng against Zhao Tian, his terrifying umtion was disyed for the first time, crushing his opposition!

    Chen Feng against Bei Ta, countering his opponent¡¯s trick, that mesmerizing grab of his remained a mystery even now, as none was aware of how Chen Feng had discovered the concealed Bei Ta!

    Chen Feng against Yun Xiaoduo, that volcanic eruption, that incredibly powerful environmental maniption!

    Chen Feng against dark Qin Hai, the meteor-like red sh, and finally, saving Qin Hai¡ªthe scene where they both joined hands became a legend!

    "So strong!"

    As the masses watched the scenes being yed, only shock could be felt in their hearts.

    This was Chen Feng!

    This was the strongest producer of this year¡¯spetition!

    The worst since time immemorial? What a joke!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The scenes kept changing.

    Finally, all the flickering scenesbined together to form a huge trophy with ¡®Chen Feng¡¯ carved on it.

    "Champion..."

    Everyone¡¯s hearts trembled.

    It was because everyone had, at this moment, recalled another thing. Different from the other participants, Chen Feng was merely 18 years old!

    He was only a high school graduate!

    Moreover¡ªhe failed his final examinations!

    They knew that all the other participants would be forever living beneath Chen Feng¡¯s limelight!

    Eighteen years old!

    First ce at the Gene Rookie Competition!

    Going forward, as long as he was able to develop himself smoothly, he would definitely be a legendary figure!

    At this moment, in all parts of the world, everyone was looking at that huge trophy.

    This moment... was a glory belonging to Chen Feng.

    Sea Breeze University.

    The ex-ssmates of Chen Feng¡¯s, the fellow students that had started looking down on Chen Feng after they¡¯d managed to enter a seeded university, were collectively stunned. Never once had they imagined that Chen Feng would reach such a height!

    "Yi, that guy seems like your ex-ssmate?"

    "Oh."

    They blushed.

    Ex-ssmate?

    True...

    An ex-ssmate they had looked down upon!

    "Chen Feng..."

    Su Jin was staring at that huge silhouette shown on screen.

    For the first time, she felt that her existence was so very tiny. For the first time, she found that Chen Feng had reached a height that she would not be able topare to for her whole life!

    Gold City.

    The moment Chen Feng grabbed the final victory, everyone in Gold City went into a frenzy!

    First ce!

    It hadnded on their Gold City!

    Gic Union¡¯s branch, Gene Production Association¡¯s branch... even those branch presidents had never imagined that Chen Feng was such a freak!

    Everyone felt immensely proud.

    The whole city erupted into a frenzy of celebration.

    The name Chen Feng had be the symbol of Gold City¡¯s highest glory!

    In the neighborhood Chen Feng resided in, the property there, in a short few hours, increased in price from 5,000 yuan per several square meters to several hundred thousand yuan per square meter. It was said that these properties were garbled up by those who were preparing an amodation for their children during their schooling period. Nobody knew why these people gave up their residences in first-ss cities and instead came to a ce like Gold City!

    Chen Feng was trending.

    Trending throughout the whole world!

    All sorts of media started extending invitations for an interview.

    Toward all this, the Chen Feng that had just walked out the arena did not even have a chance to reject them before being surrounded.

    "Excuse me, may I ask, how is your esteemed self feeling at this moment..."

    "Excuse me..."

    All sorts of questions were bombarded upon him in a disorderly manner. As all this was livestreamed, Chen Feng felt like he wouldn¡¯t be able to escape anyway. Hence, he directly chose some random questions that he knew how to answer.

    For example: "Excuse me, how did your esteemed self reached your current height?"

    Chen Feng answered, "If one wants to be a true producer, one must continuously set goals for oneself. If one is unable to achieve a huge goal, one can first set a smaller goal, for example: mastering 1,000 forms."

    The media was dumbstruck.

    One thousand forms? Are you f*cking kidding me?!

    "Excuse me, how is your esteemed self feeling toward this first ce you obtained?"

    Chen Feng answered, "In truth, what I regret the most is joining this Gene Rookie Competition. I never expected so many troubles would arise in it..."

    ??

    The media was in despair.

    Brother, can you answer properly? We are all proper medias here!

    At this time, due to the fact that all this was broadcasted live, everyone who saw this burst out inughter.

    A small goal of 1,000 forms...

    The regretful Chen Feng...

    Etc.

    All sorts of meme flooded the inte.

    Only when Zhang Wei walked over with the others did this ridiculousness end.

    After the media left, Chen Feng felt iparably carefree andfortable with his thoughts feeling incredibly clear. He had wanted to show off in such a pretentious manner for way too long. Unexpectedly, he was able to achieve this goal here!

    "You kid, you can¡¯t help yourself but to spout nonsense," Zhang Wei reprimanded him with a smile on his face.

    Chen Feng merely replied with a ¡®hehe.¡¯

    Nonsense?

    That was not for sure.

    From Earth, where he came from, sayings like "xxx not knowing his wife¡¯s beauty," "xxx regret in establishing Ali," "small goals," etc, all these were wise sayings of sessful public figures![1]

    "All right, stop messing around."

    Zhang Wei brought Chen Feng back to the hotel. Only now did the smile on his face vanish as he said to Chen Feng with a solemn expression, "The people above have acted."

    "Now?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled.

    He knew that the Qin family was definitely finished. However, he had not expected the Gic Union to be so efficient!

    How much time had passed?

    "No."

    Zhang Wei¡¯s grudge filled gazended toward a certain direction in Sea City. That was the Qin family¡¯s location!

    "I¡¯m afraid, it¡¯s already over now..."

    Footnotes:

    1. All these were references to the words once uttered by some sessful public figures in China which were viewed as a pretentious way of showing off by the public. Their names were censored here, hence the xxx. "Xxx not knowing his wife¡¯s beauty" refers to a guy who¡¯s wife was known for her beauty and was a goddess in many men¡¯s hearts, yet he imed that he was unaware that his wife was beautiful. "xxx regret in establishing Ali" refers to the founder of Alibaba, one of thergest emercepanies in China, who once expressed his regret for founding thepany despite the fact that his very sess was built upon the founding of thatpany.

    By the next day, the whole Qin family had already been ttened.

    Based on what was being reported by the media, due to therge amount of illegal activities they had done, the Qin family had refused to cooperate with the investigators and had even taken the initiative to attack thew enforcers, ultimately leading to a huge battle at their residence.

    Toward this, no one sympathized with them.

    What the Qin family had done had angered even the heavens. What kind of people would do such things to their own grandchild? They could just picture the characters these people in the Qin family were.

    Hence...

    The Qin family¡¯s news was quickly forgotten.

    No one was interested in them.

    The topic that was still trending among all the media reports was Chen Feng!

    What had happened yesterday was merely the beginning. On all the media outlets, on every sort of screen avable to humanity, the rey of Chen Feng¡¯s magnificent performance during thepetition was just getting started.

    The captivating matches were included in these reys as well.

    This did not apply only to Chen Feng. All the top ten participants were highlighted by the media outlets as well.

    However, regardless of the top three, top 10, or top 100, Chen Feng was the one that would be reyed the highest number of times. Most of the recordings were showing some minute action of Chen Feng¡¯s. Those tiny details that were impossible to notice in the midst of thepetition were reyed together withmentary, enlightening countless people on what had happened.

    Numerous people started rewatching thepetition.

    As for the top 10 participants, all these scenes were something they were seeing for the first time.

    Somewhere in Sea City.

    Lin Ke was watching the rey on the screen.

    He was the person with the most intense hatred toward Chen Feng. The fact that Chen Feng had obtained several victories against him through tricks further added to his hatred. This caused him to be iparably dissatisfied. Now, though, all his hatred had evaporated into nothingness.

    "Sigh."

    Lin Ke sighed.

    After watching the final match of Chen Feng¡¯s, he had no choice but to acknowledge that even if he were to disy his utmost strength, he would still fail to defeat Chen Feng! This guy was simply a freak!

    Chen Feng was truly worthy of the first ce he had won.

    Chen Feng...

    Lin Ke was filled with fighting spirit.

    In the future, I will definitely surpass you!

    In a certain shopping mall, Huang He was watching the rey shown on the screen, and he ultimately shook his head.

    Too strong!

    "This is the real strongest producer," Huang Hemented.

    Beside him, his wife nodded in agreement. On her delicate face was a smile. However, her gentle gaze remained on Huang He, never moving away.

    In an ice cream shop.

    A little donkey was salivating as it stared at the ice cream in front.

    Yun Xiaoduo was ring at it fiercely.

    The little donkey had a pitiful expression.

    Yun Xiaoduo red at the donkey for a long time before finally waving her hand and pouting as she said, "Fine, fine. I will let you eat. I can¡¯t me you. Even that pretty boy Qin Hai was screwed...

    "Oh, there¡¯s also Chen Feng, that beast!

    "Hmph hmph." Yun Xiaoduo clenched her tiny fist and aggressively said, "Chen Feng, don¡¯t let me encounter you in the future!"

    As the people around her heard that, they started sweating profusely.

    One had to know that although Yun Xiaoduo was the one participating in the Gene Rookie Competition, the little donkey was the actual one in charge of gene production. In person, though, Yun Xiaoduo was actually a gic warrior. An extremely powerful gic warrior at that!

    If gic abilities were not restricted by the Gene Rookie Competition...

    As they thought of this, they observed three seconds of silence for Chen Feng.

    In a certain hotel, Bei Ta was looking at the screen. He saw the scene where, a short moment after Chen Feng shut his eyes, he performed a feat worthy of legends, just like what had happened when he¡¯d found the hidden Bei Ta. This scene was simply worthy of being a ssic.

    "What gene reagent is this..." Bei Ta eximed in admiration.

    He was very sure that Chen Feng had certainly used some gene reagent.

    Chen Feng¡¯s umtion was simply much more terrifying than what everyone had imagined.

    In the learning forum.

    All sorts of threads appeared.

    Threads guessing Chen Feng¡¯s gic ability...

    Threads guessing the various peculiar methods Chen Feng used during thepetition...

    Threads guessing the actual amount of forms Chen Feng knew...

    All sorts of threads.

    For every single unexinable action of Chen Feng¡¯s, countless theories were crafted by these people. Chen Feng¡¯s name was truly resounding through every nook and corner of the world.

    As for a vast majority of his feats?

    They remained a mystery.

    At this time.

    In the hotel.

    Chen Feng had a "what the f*ck" expression.

    This was because, earlier, someone hade over looking for him to be a brand spokesperson. Initially, Chen Feng was extremely excited with the prospect. Thatsted until Chen Feng found out that his visitor was representing a tampon brand.

    ??!

    Why the f*ck were they looking for him for this product?!

    "XX tampon, a tampon as perfect as the genes I produced!" What messed up slogan was this?!

    "Scram!"

    Chen Feng nearly beat those visitors out of his room.

    At this time.

    Ding!

    His door opened automatically.

    Zhang Wei walked in, feeling curious as he saw Chen Feng. "What angered you?"

    "Nothing." Chen Feng felt helpless.

    Zhang Wei suddenly recalled something. "Oh, right, there¡¯s several brands here looking for you to be a spokesperson..."

    "I¡¯m not doing it!" Chen Feng rejected without any hesitation.

    Zhang Wei looked at him with a strange expression. If you don¡¯t want to do it, fine. Why are you reacting so strongly?

    Chen Feng coughed.

    "Fine. You don¡¯tck money anyway," Zhang Wei muttered. "There are a number of examples where some celebrity producers got drawn into troublesomewsuits after bing a spokesperson. It¡¯s a correct decision for you to not ept the offers. You are still not quite strong at the moment. There¡¯s no need to get tangled into such scandals. However, there is one specific matter that you need to prepare yourself for."

    Chen Feng raised his head. "What?"

    "Your reward," Zhang Wei said with a smile.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes lit up.

    It was here!

    The reward for thepetition champion, the chance to join the Gene Production Association¡¯s headquarters!

    This was what he had been waiting for!

    That night, Chen Feng and Zhang Wei arrived at the Sea City¡¯s branch punctually.

    Here, Chen Feng saw the person from the headquarters for the first time. He was a frail-looking old man with wise-looking eyes.

    "Wee to the Gene Production Assocation."

    The old man took the initiative to shake Chen Feng¡¯s hands, giving him a firm handshake. "I am Hou Liang."

    "Hello," Chen Feng said.

    "Sit," Hou Liang said with a smile. "I was supposed to go to headquarters to handle the procedures for you. However, since our current circumstances are quite special, I will simplify everything. I hope you don¡¯t mind that."

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Don¡¯t worry about that."

    Hou Liang smiled. "Let me pass you the reward first, then."

    Shua!

    He passed over a wooden case to Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng opened it. Within was an exquisite and delicate-looking badge. This was the badge of the Gene Production Association¡¯s headquarters, a symbol envied by countless people.

    Hou Liang saw that Chen Feng was nning to keep it and reminded him, "Scan it first."

    Mhm?

    Chen Feng scanned it with his wristband.

    Ding!

    Identity binding!

    Confirmationplete!

    Dear respected producer, hello. Your current benefits: Able to purchase F- and E-ss forms at a low price. Able to obtain purification-type forms for free. You can obtain D-ss forms bypleting missions. Currently, you do not have any ess to higher level forms.

    Low price!

    Free!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes lit up.

    There was actually such a benefit to bing a member of the Gene Production Association¡¯s headquarters.

    For a producer like him who only needed to learn a form once and didn¡¯t need to master it, it was entirely possible for him to know all avable F-ss forms!

    What a great profit!

    Chen Feng was agitated.

    This alone made his participation in thispetition worth it!

    Apart from this...

    There were also those free forms!

    There were quite a number of free forms among F- and E-ss forms! Why had the Gene Production Association made these forms free, though?

    There had to be a reason for this!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Can I ask about the free forms?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were sharp as lighting.

    "I knew you would want to ask about that." Hou Liangughed involuntarily and muttered to himself before the smile on his face vanished. "I wonder if you noticed the ck aura that appeared on Qin Hai¡¯s body?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart sank. "Naturally."

    The ck aura was extremely terrifying and was very powerful, as it could be used to attack and defend. It could also enter the digitized world, turn itself into fake genes, or even heal one¡¯s body. Seemingly an omnipotent existence.

    Hou Liang¡¯s expression became solemn. "That ck aura is what we call dark energy."

    Dark energy?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped.

    Hou Liang continued exining slowly, unveiling the mysteries of this world to Chen Feng.

    This was an extremelyrge world. Although countless peculiar genes existed, in a situation where the ecology was in itsplete form, the power of all these genes would be able to form a bnced cycle of energy, guaranteeing the continuation of this world.

    However...

    A peculiar energy had appeared, and the reason for its birth was unknown. It was capable of devouring all kinds of energy, dealingsting damage to the bnce of this world and causing terrifying consequences one could not even begin to imagine!

    It disregarded the regtions of this world. If it were to be allowed to grow, the amount of energy that was devoured by it would increase until the point where the whole world was destroyed! This energy was the so-called dark energy!

    In order to destroy this dark energy, the Gic Union had secretly established a supervising department that would be in charge of monitoring and destroying the dark energy, defending the bnce of this world!

    Throughout the years, the conflicts between the supervisors and the dark energy had never ended. Despite the dark energy¡¯s continuous appearance, the amount of supervisors increased without stop as well. They had been able to suppress the dark energy while hiding their existence from the masses. However, outside of anyone¡¯s expectations...

    This year, a variable had appeared.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped. "What variable?"

    Hou Liang let off a long sigh. "Mutation!"

    A portion of the dark energy that was initially only capable of operating through instinct had mutated and started possessing intelligence. It became capable of escaping and hiding. Against them, normal methods were simply ineffective. These mutated things were capable of devouring energy to increase their power, constantly increasing their strength. They had now be even more hidden and even more terrifying.

    They would devour everything, including the intelligence of others. What was astonishing was the fact that once one¡¯s intelligence was devoured, the person would transform into the same existence as the dark energy.

    Dark freak was the term coined by the Gic Union for these newly evolved beings.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    An easy to understand name.

    "Oh, right," Hou Liang recalled, "that cousin of Qin Hai¡¯s is precisely one of those dark freaks."

    "Hiss!" Chen Feng inhaled a mouthful of cold breath.

    No wonder that guy had been so terrifying!

    So these were the dark freaks? Formed of dark energy, possessing the ability to transform their body into a physical form, and also capable of transforming their body into an energy form, they were incredibly powerful. If one wanted to destroy a dark freak, only one method was avable¡ª

    Purification!

    Dragging them into the digitized world!

    Due to their structural makeup, they would directly enter the digitized world and lose their connection with the real world. This was also the time where these dark freaks could be killed! This was the only method capable of thoroughly killing a dark freak!

    So that¡¯s the case!

    Chen Feng finally understood. He had previously talked to Qin Hai. Qin Hai had clearly killed the body of his cousin. Logically, his cousin¡¯s consciousness should have died along with the body as well. However, his cousin was still so powerful in the digitized world. Now, though, it appeared that the cousin¡¯s body was simply part of the body formed by the dark energy!

    Wait... If it¡¯s digitized world... Chen Feng suddenly realized something. "Then... it must be a producer?!"

    "That¡¯s right." A bitter smile appeared on Hou Liang¡¯s face. "A supervisor will be able to destroy normal dark energy. However, these intelligent dark freaks are something that only producers can destroy!"

    This was the most headache-inducing problem for them!

    Only the digitized world was capable of truly eliminating these guys. Hence, this arduous mission could only be left in the hands of producers. However, a producer normally possessed nearly zerobat power!

    "In actuality, destroying them is a very simple feat. Determine the intensity level of the energy in the dark freak before dragging it into the digitized world and destroying it. Simple as such."

    Hou Liang felt helpless as well.

    From their research, the Gene Production Association had created some gene reagents capable of destroying these dark freaks in the digitized world. However, a lot of producers did not even possess the most basic of self-defense methods. When facing these dark freaks, most producers would not even reach the point of using these gene reagents before getting themselves killed.

    They were simply too weak!

    Hence¡ª

    The somewhat different nature of the Gene Rookie Competition this year came into being.

    They hoped that, through thispetition, those ordinary producers would be made aware of the importance of crisis awareness and the importance of self-defense abilities. From that, the producers would be even more powerful!

    "In theing few years, we will change gradually. As for the topics of purification gene reagents, crisis awareness, and digital battling methods... we are nning to make them part ofpulsory education, transforming all the producers with whatever methods we can!

    "This year, though... we can only pick the suitable producers from you all." Hou Liang gave Chen Feng a deep gaze. "We need to choose a huge group of producers from currently existing producers to be the first generation of purifiers!"

    Purifiers...

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart was solemn. From the name, he could guess what this entailed.

    Eradicating dark energy!

    Purifying the world!

    "What about those seniors?" he suddenly asked.

    The Gene Rookie Competition was an event that would only involve up to intermediate-level producers, with the rare urrence of advanced-level producers. What about those higher-leveled producers?

    "All producers meeting our requirements can be an eradicator," Hou Liang said with a deep voice. "Look at this."

    Hou Liang disyed some data.

    Purifiers¡¯s requirements:

    1. Possessing digitized world.

    2. Possessing formidable on-the-spot production capabilities (on-the-spot production is necessary as part of the required materials would be the opponent¡¯s energy-form body)

    3. Possessing a certain level of self-defense capabilities.

    4. Production level (guaranteed sess of production in a single attempt for 5-star E-ss forms)

    5. Firm willpower.

    Those meeting these requirements can be one of the purifiers.

    So that¡¯s the case.

    Chen Feng lightly nodded.

    However, how did this rte to his first ce in this Gene Rookie Competition? With so many purifiers in existence, regardless of how he looked at it, he wouldn¡¯t be of much help, right?

    Chen Feng felt doubtful.

    "It¡¯s because of this." Hou Liang guessed Chen Feng¡¯s thoughts and sighed. "Three years ago, some warriors of the Gic Warrior discovered a huge clump of ck light at a certain location. It is very probable that an extremely terrifying dark freak was being nurtured in that ck clump. Different from a normal dark freak, it was capable of devouring and growing without limit, possessing unlimited potential for growth!

    "At first notice, we sent someone there." At this, a weird expression appeared on Hou Liang¡¯s face. "However, those above D ss are incapable of getting near that ce!"

    "Above D ss?"

    Chen Feng nked. Such an odd barrier existed?

    "Yes. As long as one¡¯s attribute exceeds 1,000 points, one can¡¯t enter." Hou Liang nodded. "Initially, we were curious as well. How could such a barrier exist? Subsequently, we found that this was the dark energy¡¯s doing. The dark freak was intentionally letting those producers with attributes lower than 1,000 in."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped. "What?"

    The dark freak was intentionally letting those producers with attributes lower than 1,000 in?

    "Yes." Hou Liang had a solemn expression. "All these producers were treated as energy supplies for the nurtured dark freak! Humans below D ss are the best food for it!"

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Chen Feng inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    "Not only this. From what happened to the Qin family, we can conclude that they have already learned how to trade. Both these facts prove that the newly gained intelligence of theirs is growing rapidly. The moment their intelligence reaches our level... things will get truly dangerous. As for now... although this method is able to increase the strength of that nurtured dark freak, simrly, they are also restricted by the same rules they set. The dark freak in there will not be too strong either. Hence, this is a very good opportunity for us to storm that ce and get rid of that dark freak!"

    Hou Liang¡¯s eyes were sharp as lighting. "Based on the current status of the nurtured dark freak, it will break out of its cocoon one month from now. At that moment, the thick cocoon around that dark freak will disappear. With that, the dark freak will lose its protection. That will be the best time for us to get rid of it as well! That... is also our only chance!"

    Hou Liang had a solemn expression.

    "Wait." Chen Feng rubbed his skull, trying to smoothen his thoughts.

    Mhm...

    He needed to cool his head.

    In other words, there¡¯s one particr dark freak that has been in incubation for three years. No one has any idea what it is apart from the fact that it¡¯s an extremely terrifying existence. Perhaps it¡¯s a dark Nezha[1] or something. Next, due to the restriction that only those below D ss can enter, I am required.

    Mhm...

    Understood.

    For world peace.

    For love and justice.

    Since the world is in such a crisis, I must certainly charge to the forefront and save mankind! When required, I can even sacrifice his life. Is that right?

    Right my ass!

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes.

    Who the f*ck are they trying to fool? Trying to fool a child or something?!

    Although it sounded grave from Hou Liang¡¯s words such assting damage to the world¡¯s bnce, dark energy, devouring, etc...

    However, Chen Feng had a feeling that this guy was trying very hard to lure him in. Since a dark energy that could damage the world existed, then a different type of energy that could restore the world would perhaps exist, right? He refused to believe that, after so many years of history, the Gic Union and Gene Production Association would be crippled by some dark energy!

    This was simply illogical.

    Moreover, if it was truly so grave, the Gene Production Association would have long reacted strongly against it. Would they still have advanced with their ns quietly like what they were doing presently? For the whole world to still be in order?

    Chen Feng looked outside. The Sea City¡¯s branch appeared incredibly serene.

    All the producers were busy with their respective projects. One of them was even excitedly bragging about one of his proposals that was approved and had received research funds from the headquarters.

    There was also a certain fat branch president whose perverted gaze kept scanning the curves of the customer service representatives, appearing satisfied and carefree.

    Hence...

    If the world was truly ending, what on earth were these fellows doing?

    Sending research funds?

    Checking out girls?

    World crisis?

    What joke was this?

    Furthermore, even if the sky was about to copse, there would be someone else to support it! A tiny producer like him, no matter what happened, it wasn¡¯t his ce to do something about it, right? You couldn¡¯t lure someone in like this just because he was young!

    Chen Feng was expressionless. "What if I reject?"

    "Cough cough." Hou Liang and Zhang Wei beside him were waiting for his answer. When they heard this, they almost choked themselves to death. Everything had been proceeding smoothly, so why was he talking about rejection?

    Where¡¯s your sense of responsibility?!

    Where¡¯s your sense of honor?!

    "Erm, that... such a responsibility, it¡¯s undeniably yours." Hou Liang had a solemn expression. "Therefore, this arduous task of saving the world shall..."

    "What if I reject it?" Chen Feng continued his question.

    "Fine." Hou Liang sighed. "Such a thing, if it¡¯s not voluntary, we won¡¯t be able to achieve much anyway. We will have to start looking for a volunteer, starting from the top rankers in thispetition, until we find a suitable person."

    I knew it.

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes.

    He knew it. All of this, world crisis, the task of saving the world is undeniably his, all this was bullshit.

    This mission, in all honestly, was merely a mission to erase a crisis that "might appear in the future"! If Chen Feng refused to ept this mission, naturally, others would have the chance to ept it.

    "How about the reward for this mission?" Chen Feng said forthrightly.

    "Kid..."

    Hou Liang felt helpless. Can¡¯t you be a patriot for once?

    "If it was Qin Hai, he would definitely not ask such a question," Hou Liangmented.

    He missed Qin Hai already. If it was Qin Hai, he would definitely have epted this mission without any conditions. For world peace, for mankind¡¯s future!

    "Yeah." Chen Feng agreed. "Hence, he ended up getting tricked by others into this dogshit present circumstance of his."

    Hou Liang: "..." F*ck! The children nowadays are truly hard to deceive! You are only a high school graduate!

    "Fine fine!"

    Hou Liang showed him the mission details immediately.

    ----

    Ultimate purification

    Mission period: One month from now

    Mission venue: Extreme d

    Mission introduction: Purifying dark freak

    Mission reward: Any D-ss form x1

    ----

    Due to this being a special mission, the descriptions were extremely concise. However, the mission reward was made very clear. When Chen Feng saw it, his eyes shone!

    One of any D-ss form!

    Chen Feng was agitated.

    How many forms were there in the gene bank of the Gene Production Association?

    No one knew!

    A lot of the E-ss and F-ss forms provided by the Gene Production Association for thepetition were stunningly amazing forms possessing extraordinary abilities that were extremely astonishing.

    As for D ss?

    None were provided!

    Not even 1-star D-ss!

    Why?

    That was because the value and quality of D-ss and above forms greatly surpassed the forms below this level.

    Hence, Chen Feng had never expected that a D-ss form would be taken out as the reward for this mission. The most crucial point being that one could choose any D-ss form one wished for!

    In that gene bank with a huge number of forms...

    5-star forms with heaven defying value...

    Chen Feng was tempted just thinking about that.

    Purification...

    Chen Feng started weighing the pros and cons of epting this mission.

    Although Hou Liang had mentioned that this mission was extremely dangerous, if he were to prepare sufficiently improved gene reagents coupled with his luck value, he might have a chance.

    Moreover...

    Without risk, where was the reward?

    If not for this incidence, would the Gene Production Association allow one to select a form as one wished?

    Let¡¯s do this!

    Chen Feng epted the mission.

    "Very good." Hou Liang felt relieved. This little monkey was too difficult to handle!

    "I might have made this mission sound incredibly scary. However, it is truly an extremely dangerous mission."

    For once, Hou Liang was finally serious as he patted Chen Feng¡¯s shoulder and said, "Make your preparations properly. We shall meet in a month."

    "Understood."

    Chen Feng nodded his head.

    Since he decided to ept this mission, he had to do his best.

    However, it was at this moment that the earth trembled suddenly.

    Chen Feng and Hou Liang immediately raised their head and looked toward the southeast direction.

    That was where the Qin family was located at.

    "Something happened!"

    Both their expressions changed greatly.

    The Qin family was very far away from this ce. However, the energy explosion there could be felt even here. What had happened there?

    Hou Liang immediately contacted someone, and soon, an astonishing update was transmitted to him. When the employees had been finishing their job at Qin family, the ce had suddenly exploded.

    The over 100 employees there were all dead¡ªno survivors!

    A terrifying energy dispersed without stop from the Qin family.

    The Gic Union had blockaded the ruins of the Qin family immediately and sent out the supervisors to purify the energy surrounding the Qin family. However, below the ruins of the Qin family, an unknown energy kept surfacing!

    There, a dark freak might have been hidden!

His father was a militarymander named Li Jing, whoter became the "Pagoda-wielding Heavenly King". Nezha¡¯s mother, Lady Yin, gave birth to a ball of flesh after being pregnant with him for three years and six months. Li Jing thought that his wife had given birth to a demon and attacked the ball with his sword. The ball split open and Nezha jumped out as a boy instead of an infant.

    Something happened at the Qin family!

    It was announced to the public that the escaped criminals from the Qin family were rebelling and the Gic Union was already after them. However, Chen Feng was clear on what had happened.

    Dark freak!

    A life form that was seemingly human yet not human and seemingly beast yet not beast. They initially believed that there¡¯s only one dark freak in the Qin family. Now, though, it seemed that the problems in the Qin family were much graver than they had imagined.

    Qin family...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    Beneath the ruins of the Qin family, even if there was a dark freak there, it was something that had hidden itself there after being pursued. Hence, that thing there did not seem too strong. Perhaps it would be just nice for him as target practice?

    "What are you thinking about?" Hou Liang red at Chen Feng ferociously. "Do you think that a dark freak is so easy to deal with? That Qin Hai¡¯s cousin had his physical body destroyed by Qin Hai first before getting dragged into the digitized world, and he was only dealt with after the both of you joined hands. Do you truly believe that you alone are capable of defeating him?"

    "Cough cough," Chen Feng coughed.

    "Moreover." Hou Liang looked at Chen Feng. "The current you is too weak. At the very least, you must go to the headquarters and greatly increase your strength first before you can be considered a qualified eradicator."

    "Great improvement?" Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. "There¡¯s something to be gained when I go to the headquarters?"

    "You don¡¯t know that?" Hou Liang looked at Chen Feng in astonishment. This was supposed to be something everyone knew! Entering the headquarters and greatly improving one¡¯s strength! This was the real reward from the Gene Rookie Competition! This was also the reason why even those children of the influential families would fight hard to obtain first ce. How was it possible for this crafty fellow to not know about the advantages of entering the headquarters? Onlyter did Hou Liang recall that Chen Feng¡¯s origins were truly humble.

    An orphan without a background or a backer!

    "Truly..." Hou Liang was in a solemn mood. It has been a long time since he¡¯dst seen a child like this. Humble background was an indication of the incredibly low amount of resources at his disposal. This was especially true for someone like Chen Feng. For him to reach such heights even with such a low amount of resources, now that he had joined the Gene Production Association, this child¡¯s future would be limitless! "The headquarters of the Gene Production Association is also known as the holynd of producers. It is extremely difficult for one to be a producer of the headquarters. However, once one manages to enter, one will be greatly rewarded."

    A smiling expression appeared in Hou Liang¡¯s eyes.

    So that¡¯s the case.

    Chen Feng was enticed.

    "The headquarters is quite far from here. It will be better for you to wait for a month and go there when we are about to depart for the mission," Hou Liang said faintly.

    "Mhm."

    Chen Feng understood. Anyway, he had a lot of things to deal with here as well.

    "As for the Qin family," Hou Liang muttered for a bit before saying, "we will directly send some supervisors and purifiers over to purify the Qin family¡¯s ruins as soon as possible. You should join them.

    "Scratch that. All of you in the top 10 need to go. As a preparation for youring mission, you must get yourself familiarized with all this and gain further understanding of the dark freaks. This opportunity is just nice for that. This will also serve as the final test for the rest of them to determine if they are qualified to be purifiers." Hou Liang had a bright expression.

    Chen Feng nodded. "Understood."

    So, this is a practice eh?

    Chen Feng¡¯s lips curled up, forming a smile.

    **

    At the Qin family¡¯s ruins, an area with a circumference of 100 meters was blockaded. A faint radiance gleamed, separating the blockaded area from the outside world, akin to a border between two worlds.

    Outside was the real world, with bright sunshine, whereas the inside was the sinister and scary-looking Qin family¡¯s ruin, which was filled with a dark aura. It was akin to two worlds with different styles.

    At this moment.

    In front of the Qin family¡¯s ruin, everyone gradually arrived. After thepetition, the top 10 were once again gathered. Outside of Chen Feng¡¯s expectations, Sun Han was the person recing Zhao Tian here.

    "Chen Feng! Do you remember me?" Sun Han was seething with hatred.

    So what if Chen Feng had won the first ce? That did not change the sad fact that Sun Han was in 11th ce. On his personal information window, this position would be forever disyed. The 11th ce of this year¡¯spetition! Not even part of the top 10! And the reason for that was Chen Feng¡¯s insta-kill that was achieved with a cheat-like method!

    He was very angry.

    This was because, even without this one point, Chen Feng would have easily been able to be the overall winner. It was merely the fourth round, so even if Chen Feng were to obtain second ce during that round, his overall cing wouldn¡¯t have been greatly affected.

    As for him, that one point was extremely important! The one point that was extremely important for him was taken away by Chen Feng. That one point that was insignificant for Chen Feng. This was the reason for Sun Han¡¯s anger. Without being in the top 10, he felt that he was as petty as dust.

    "Oh, it¡¯s you." Chen Feng was somewhat surprised. "Mhm, I heard about the incident where youunched aint against me. It was truly somewhat hotheaded of you. However, it¡¯s nothing major. Hence, I forgive you."

    Sun Han: "???"

    Forgiving me? Who the f*ck wanted your forgiveness?!

    "Chen Feng!" Sun Han¡¯s anger soared to the skies, and he was about to continue speaking.

    "Be obedient." Chen Feng patted him. "A lot of people are looking for me. You should first queue up behind the line."

    What?

    Sun Han was stunned.

    As he turned around, it was indeed true. Everyone in the top 10 was looking at Chen Feng withplicated expressions. That was particrly true for a certain beautiful youngdy filled with youthfulness.

    "Chen Feng!" Yun Xiaoduo gnashed her tiny teeth.

    "Cough." Chen Feng waved to her.

    "Hmph hmph. Let me tell you. Although you are more powerful than my little donkey, I am personally a gic warrior... hmph hmph. If you do not apologize to me today..." Yun Xiaoduo raised her tiny clenched fist as a threat.

    More powerful than little donkey...

    Chen Feng looked at the little donkey beside her and felt insulted. So, he had beenpeting against a donkey?

    Chen Feng raised his hand. "I have a question."

    "Say it."Yun Xiaoduo was feeling proud. Although her gene production skills were not as good as this guy¡¯s, she had the strongestbat power. For her to drill some obedience into these proud fellows was something she felt extremely satisfied of.

    "Since you have a donkey, why don¡¯t you ride it?" Chen Feng asked honestly.

    Yun Xiaoduo red with her big eyes. "Donkey is my friend!"

    Pfft.

    Chen Feng muttered, "It¡¯s clearly a pet. Having a good mount but refusing to ride on it, are you waiting for it to ride you instead?"

    "Chen Feng!" Yun Xiaoduo was so furious her face turned red.

    Xiu!

    She took out a carrot from her bag and tossed it at Chen Feng.

    "Xiaoduo!"

    Lin Ke¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    What joke was this? Chen Feng was merely a producer with zerobat power. Although he seemed so powerful in thepetition, his prowess was on the premise of having an unlimited supply of materials and ample preparation time. Under normal circumstances...

    A gene producer had nobat power!

    Despite this being a casual toss by Yun Xiaoduo, her strength attribute and agility attributes were extremely terrifying. Hence, the carrot she had casually tossed still erupted with a terrifying power.

    "Dodge it, quickly," Yun Xiaoduo said anxiously. The moment she¡¯d tossed the carrot out, she had regretted her actions. Since she had faced Chen Feng in the match before, she had subconsciously neglected Chen Feng¡¯s strength.

    Bang!

    With a terrifying power behind it, the carrot smashed toward Chen Feng.

    "Chen Feng!"

    The rest of them charged over to him.

    Instinctively, they wanted to save Chen Feng with some gene reagents. However, they couldn¡¯t act in time and could only watch on as the carrot with terrifying power behind it smashed at Chen Feng.

    At this moment, Chen Feng slightly raised his hand.

    Bang!

    The carrot in front of him was instantly cut into pieces by his Wind de, turning into countless fragments that sttered around.

    Wind de?

    Lin Fan and the rest had dumbfounded expressions.

    Wait.

    Wasn¡¯t Chen Feng a producer?

    Why did he know a skill like Wind de?

    One had to know that Chen Feng¡¯s gic ability was now the biggest mystery for those at the learning forum. Despite there being some who had exposed that it was Wind de, the rest refused to believe that. Ultimately, these exposures were buried beneath seas of threads that were guessing what Chen Feng¡¯s gic ability was. Hence, presently, Chen Feng¡¯s gic ability was still a hot topic at the learning forum.

    And now... it was really Wind de?

    Lin Fan and the rest remain dazed for a long time. That was because this signified that they had been defeated by a Chen Feng that essentially had one less useful gic ability for gene productionpared to them.

    Yun Xiaoduo was astonished. "Your ability is actually Wind de?"

    Chen Feng was even more shocked than her. "You were actually carrying carrots around?"

    In his memory, no girls would be carrying carrots around in their bag, especially not such a thick and solid huge carrot.

    "Chen Feng!" Yun Xiaoduo was furious. "That¡¯s little donkey¡¯s food! I bring it around since ice cream can¡¯t be kept for long!"

    "Oh, oh, oh." Chen Feng suddenly felt enlightened. No wonder it was so huge.

    "What gaze was that!" Yun Xiaoduo stared threateningly at Chen Feng!

    She swore Chen Feng was the most annoying male she had ever met!

    With nobody capable of contending against him!

    Hmph.

    "He doesn¡¯t mean anything bad." Qin Hai said beside her.

    "Go away, you pretty boy!" Yun Xiaoduo stared at him ferociously. "You both are the same, nothing good!"

    Qin Hai: "..."

    How did this rte to him?

    "Look at what you have done." Qin Hai looked at Chen Feng and helplessly said, "Can¡¯t you just yield to her on ount that she¡¯s a girl?"

    "Why are you here?" Chen Feng was somewhat surprised. He had initially believed that Qin Hai would need to recuperate for a long time.

    "I don¡¯t have any time to rest," Qin Hai said indifferently.

    Chen Feng¡¯s mood became solemn. Was it due to his exhausted potential?

    After thepetition, he had subsequently heard about what had happened to Qin Hai. Due to the forceful breakthrough, from thereon, he might be stuck in D-ss forever, unable to break through for his whole life.

    This signified that, regardless of how powerful he was now, he would be gradually surpassed by others.

    One had to know.

    Even among the purifiers, there were different ranks among them. The higher-rank purifierswould be in charge of higher-level missions. As for Chen Feng and the few of them who were new purifiers, they would only be in charge of some low-level missions.

    As for Qin Hai? He might be stuck at this level forever! How sorrowful was that?

    On Qin Hai¡¯s face, though, was still the same calm smile.

    This guy...

    Chen Feng sighed inwardly.

    Even when he was already in such a circumstance, he still wanted toe and fight it out?

    "Can you not look at me this way?" Qin Hai looked at Chen Feng who had been watching him attentively and meaningfully said, "I told you, I¡¯m not interested in males."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    "In this world, countless possibilities exist." Qin Hai had a confident expression. "Even if my potential is exhausted, I believe that I will still be able to achieve something in this life of mine!"

    Despite losing his potential, he had instead gained true freedom. The chains shackling him all these years were undone. His willpower had be more powerful as well.

    A smiling expression shed through Chen Feng¡¯s eyes. "Best of luck."

    The few of them chatted idly with each other and gradually got familiar with each other.

    At this time, the light barrier that was blocking the dark energy opened up noiselessly. Two people walked in. They were the supervisor and purifier in charge of today¡¯s mission.

 Chapter 172: One Accident after Another

    Chapter 172: One ident after Another

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Supervisor Peng Long," the somewhat plump middle age man stated indifferently.

    Everyone nodded slightly.

    Surprisingly, the purifier sent by Sea City¡¯s Gene Production Association was an extremely beautiful woman with a hot body.

    "Hello, I am Xia Yan." Her lips curled up, forming a smile that was extremely pleasant to look at.

    "Oh, hello."

    Sun Han and the rest nked.

    "..." Peng Long¡¯s lips twitched, evidently used to such situations.

    Peng Long raised his hand. "Let¡¯s begin."

    Hum¡ª

    Two shining butterflies bloomed from his hand. The faint blue energy cleared all the energy in the Qin family¡¯s ruin that was giving off an ufortable feeling.

    "This is Peng Long¡¯s ability, oh." Xia Yan smiled as she said, "This ability is capable of purifying the dark energy, and it¡¯s very powerful."

    Wow.

    Everyone was amazed. Such a gic ability existed?

    Shua!

    Peng Long pointed at the air.

    Hum¡ª

    At that instant, the fluttering butterflies went through a countless number of transformations. Countless silhouettes flew out from the two butterflies. Every single silhouette that flew out was flickering with a faint radiance. They fluttered in the air and, under Peng Long¡¯s control, charged forth toward the Qin family¡¯s ruin that was enveloped in darkness.

    Pu!

    Pu!

    One butterfly silhouette after another exploded.

    Shua!

    The dark energy in the surroundings was cleared in a split second.

    At the Qin family¡¯s ruin that was covered by darkness, a long tunnel appeared. This was the underground tunnel and also the ce where the dark energy leaked out from.

    So powerful!

    Everyone gasped.

    "First step, to determine the dark energy value."

    Peng Long aimed his wristband at the Qin family¡¯s ruins.

    Ding!

    Ding!

    Light flickered on his wristband screen before finally stopping at D-ss.

    "Those who have installed the supervisor¡¯s chip can use their wristband to conduct a rough evaluation of the dark energy value," Peng Long said indifferently. "D ss means that the dark freak here is very powerful. At least a D-ss supervisor and purifier need to join hands to deal with it.

    "If weck either, or our ss is lower... only death awaits."

    Clear exnation.

    Everyone had a solemn mood.

    Peng Long opened up a path in front of them. "Let¡¯s go."

    "I don¡¯t have muchbat power, so I will have to walk with you all, oh," Xia Yan said, smiling.

    "No, no problem," Sun Han replied with a blushing face. "I, I can protect you."

    "Why thank you then, little brother~"Xia Yan said, smiling.

    "I can protect you as well," Lin Ke said with confidence.

    "Hmph!" Yun Xiaoduo pouted. When she lowered her head to check out her own body, she felt powerless.

    A mature woman like Xia Yan with incredibly good looks and a seductive figure was simply too attractive to these vigorous young men. This was especially true for producers that were shut-ins.

    "..."

    Chen Feng and Qin Hai exchanged nces and remained silent.

    Shua!

    They walked into the tunnel in an orderly fashion.

    In the tunnel, only darkness could be seen.

    Hum¡ª

    It lightened up.

    At Peng Long¡¯s side were two butterflies, one to each side of him, with their wings stretched. Everywhere both these glowing butterflies passed, the dark energy would quietly disappear.

    "Second step, clearing the dark energy as we move," Peng Long said coldly. "No dark energy is allowed to be left behind, or else any single bit of dark energy that is left behind might bring you danger."

    Understood.

    Everyone nodded their heads.

    Then...

    Next, they only needed to follow the trail of the dark energy and find the dark freak before putting an end to it. With this, this mission would be done with. This was meant to be an ordinary purification mission, after all.

    Suddenly.

    "Ka!"

    An odd sound could be heard.

    "Damn!"

    Sun Han¡¯s expression changed greatly. Everyone looked over and found with horror that a pale hand had suddenly stretched out from the ground and grabbed him.

    A silhouette crawled out as everyone felt a chill on their backs.

    "Scram!"

    Sun Han was perspiring all over from shock.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    A dazzling radiance.

    The various gene reagents that he had prepared were tossed out all in one go. All sorts of defensive abilities wrapped around him, each shining with various colors.

    "Go!"

    Peng Long pointed midair.

    "Pu!"

    That silhouette¡¯s forehead was pierced through, and it slumped down.

    "This is a dark zombie. A corpse that will move by instinct after being polluted by dark energy. It does not pose much threat; you don¡¯t have to waste your gene reagents for this..." Peng Long said indifferently.

    "Little brother, are you alright?" Xia Yan asked, deeply concerned.

    Sun Han blushed as he waved his hands repeatedly. "N-no problem."

    "Let¡¯s go."

    Peng Long¡¯s lips twitched. Due to the presence of Xia Yan here, he had a feeling that his words were simply being ignored.

    On the way, another dark zombie appeared and shocked Lin Ke to the point that he hastily tossed out all sorts of gene reagents. He even directly assembled his energy armor then and there!

    Despite there being someone there protecting them, against these zombie that appeared directly from the ground and grabbed onto their ankles, they were shocked sh*tless. This was not apetition in the virtual world; instead, this was the real world.

    "I told you, there¡¯s no need for any fear," Peng Long said impatiently. They were already grown-ups. How ridiculous it was for them to be so flustered?

    "Say less." Xia Yan red at him. "A producer is different from you gic warriors. Can¡¯t you understand our predicament?" She gently said, "Be careful."

    "Mhm."

    Sun Han and the rest felt somewhat ashamed.

    Fortunately, after several such incidents, everyone finally grew used to it.

    This was not a particrly long tunnel. Peng Long led everyone as they carefully proceeded forth. Finally, they found the location that the dark freak was located at.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    A hiss from something that was hidden in the darkness.

    It¡¯s here!

    Everyone had a solemn mood.

    They could already feel that terrifying aura that originated from the end of the tunnel.

    "Dark freak. A life form formed by dark energy, possessing inexhaustible power," Peng Long said coldly. "To truly kill these things, one must drag them into the digitized world. Normally, a group of gic warriors with purification-rted abilities and gene producers would work together to deal with them."

    "The gic warrior shall be the one to act first. When its body is¡ª"

    Before Peng Long could finish.

    "Howl!"

    The distant dark freak suddenly started raging.

    "Shua!"

    A terrifying killing intent bloomed. A boundless dark aura started bubbling in the depths of the tunnel.

    "Damn it." Peng Long¡¯s expression changed slightly. "Why is it suddenly raging?"

    Dark freak. If it was provoked to a certain degree, its strength would greatly increase!

    However, here...

    Peng Long acted decisively. "Little Yan!"

    "Understood."

    Xia Yan¡¯s gene reagents were already ready in her hands.

    "Bang!"

    Peng Long¡¯s body started radiating with a dazzling light.

    Two butterflies interweaved in the air, generating countless amounts of butterfly silhouettes.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    A huge amount of butterfly silhouettes charged toward the dark freak.

    Ci!

    Ci!

    Terrifying sounds resounded without stop.

    The sounds generated when the butterfly silhouettesnded on the dark freak¡¯s body were simr to the sound generated when acid was used to corrode metal. That bizarre sound seemed capable of attracting reverence from the depths of one¡¯s heart.

    Bang!

    The dark freak¡¯s body copsed instantly.

    "Now! Little Yan!" Peng Long shouted.

    "I¡¯m here." Xia Yan gulped down a bottle of gene reagent.

    Limpid light started radiating all over her body. This was the purification energy!

    Shua!

    Digital battle, activate!

    The dark freak disappeared from its position. It had been dragged into the digitized world by Xia Yan. She was borrowing the power of her gene reagent to battle the dark freak in the digitized world.

    This was the method in which a dark freak could be killed. Simr to what Chen Feng and Qin Hai had done previously. The rest were not able to see what was happening in the digitized world, so they could only wait here.

    Lin Ke and the rest were somewhat anxious. "Nothing bad will happen, right?"

    "It will be fine," Peng Long said indifferently, "We have worked together a lot of times. Furthermore, before entering the digitized world..."

    Chen Feng and Qin Hai pricked their ears to listen.

    "Pu!"

    Xia Yan suddenly started spouting blood.

    "Little Yan!"

    "Senior!"

    Everyone¡¯s expressions changed greatly.

    "It¡¯s fine." Xia Yan¡¯s expression was pale, and she weakly said, "That fellow is stronger than I expected. However, it has still been eliminated by me. We should leave here quickly."

    "All right."

    Peng Long nodded.

    With the death of the dark freak, the mission waspleted.

    Time spent: three hours.

    This was an extremely ordinary mission. Hence, since it waspleted, it was best for them to depart quickly. Xia Yan¡¯s injury was somewhat serious. They needed to get her treated as soon as possible.

    However, right at this moment, no one noticed that, on the ground, within a shattered gene reagent bottle, some bizarre energy was dispersing without stop and fluttering toward the dark energy in the air.

    Peng Long stood up. "Let me do the final purification."

    With the dark freak¡¯s death, the remaining dark energy could now be purified easily.

    However, at this moment.

    "Bang!"

    The dark energy at the end of the tunnel started bubbling suddenly.

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    Peng Long¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    This aura...

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    Dark energy bubbled.

    It fermented without stop. In the darkness, a terrifying aura appeared, apanied by the sounds of lithe footsteps. Everyone looked over and immediately fell into a solemn mood.

    That was because a new dark freak had appeared!

    "Howl¡ª"

    The dark freak howled.

    "Scram!"

    Under Peng Long¡¯s control, both butterflies charged toward the dark freak.

    Xia Yan walked out weakly. "I¡¯m going to help him."

    "Senior!"

    Lin Ke and the rest felt ashamed.

    They were actually incapable of giving any help!

    This was a D-ss dark freak! It was also much stronger than a normal D-ss warrior! Apart from specific gic power such as purification, they simply had no way of dealing with it. If they were to rashly charge forth, they would only mess things up for the two seniors!

    "Not good!"

    A faint red light shed in Chen Feng¡¯s hand. He exchanged nce with Qin Hai. They were feeling something amiss. If their guess was correct...

    "Go and help!"

    Chen Feng prepared to charge forth without hesitation.

    However, at the same time.

    "Howl¡ª"

    A dark freak blocked his path.

    "Be careful!"

    Everyone¡¯s expressions changed greatly.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    One silhouette after another appeared.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone looked over and immediately inhaled mouthfuls of cold breath.

    One...

    Two...

    Three...

    Approximately five dark freaks had surrounded them!

 Chapter 173: The Culprit

    Chapter 173: The Culprit

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the Qin family¡¯s ruins, the people from Gic Union were guarding the outeryer around it. Distantly, at a certain location, two people were observing what was happening there through a screen.

    "It¡¯s about time..."

    "Mhm."

    "How confident are you?"

    "90%!"

    "That¡¯s sufficient. Our research result with the Qin family must not fall into the hands of those from Gic Union and Gene Production Association!"

    "Understood."

    "Right, the interns that they added at thest minute..."

    "They won¡¯t be able to do much."

    "That¡¯s good, then."

    The conversation by the two with gloomy voices gradually stopped.

    Everything was going as they¡¯d nned.

    Currently, beneath the Qin family¡¯s ruins, in the pitch-ck tunnel, Chen Feng and the group were surrounded by dark freaks. Terrifying power was leaking from each and every single one of these dark freaks. The power leaking from each of them had reached D ss!

    Things were getting troublesome!

    Everyone¡¯s expressions were unsightly. This was not apetition, nor was this a virtual world. They were simply unqualified to cross swords with these D-ss freaks!

    What should they do?

    Everyone despaired.

    "Don¡¯t panic!" Qin Hai said with a deep voice. "We only needs tost for several seconds and the two seniors wille over. Sun Han, aren¡¯t you the best in using defensive gene reagents?"

    "They are all used up!"

    Sun Han felt like crying from regret. When the dark zombie appeared previously, he had wasted all his gene reagents!

    Lin Ke...

    Bei Ta...

    It was the same for them.

    "Hu¡ª"

    Qin Hai inhaled.

    "Don¡¯t worry."

    "Xiaoduo, Chen Feng, both of you should still have your gene reagents on you, right?"

    "Mhm."

    "We will be counting on you both then."

    "Understood."

    Chen Feng replied with an overcast voice.

    "Try tost for extra few seconds and we will be able to survive this."

    Qin Hai¡¯s steady voice managed to pacify the few of them that were panicking. Soon, they recovered their calm and started trying to help with their gic abilities.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Chen Feng and the rest activated thest remaining gene reagents they had.

    Defensive gene reagents!

    Attack gene reagents!

    Exhausting their power to support the activation of these gene reagents.

    Currently, the dark freak that appeared had been in by Peng Long. However, it was undergoing rebirth beside him.

    "A mere newborn dark freak dares to be so unbridled here!"

    Peng Long looked at Xia Yan. "Little Yan!"

    "I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t activate my digitized world now," Xia Yan replied weakly as she passed over a gene reagent to Peng Long, "This dark freak is a newborn and is extremely weak. Break this bottle and you can directly stop its rebirth."

    "Alright."

    Peng Long took the gene reagent.

    Bang!

    Gene reagent activated.

    Countless dazzling blue particles flickered.

    However, astonishingly, those blue particles did not charge toward the dark freak. Instead, they charged toward him and started devouring the power in his body.

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    Peng Long¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    "Pu!"

    Next, an acute pain was felt on his chest.

    With an unbelievable expression, Peng Long turned around. A dazzling smile appeared on Xia Yan¡¯s face. "Good bye~"

    "You..." Peng Long slumped down powerlessly. "How is this possible..."

    Xia Yan was a dark freak as well?

    Impossible!

    If she was truly a dark freak, how was it possible for her to have avoided the Gene Production Association¡¯s detection?

    "Do you think there are so many dark freaks around?" Xia Yan whispered to his ears, "Those things are the result of our research."

    "Bang!"

    Peng Long widened his eyes.

    His heart jolted violently, and died the next instant!

    Currently, Chen Feng and the rest were still resisting the dark freaks.

    They had nearly exhausted all the gene reagents they¡¯d prepared. These dark freaks were too powerful. It was simply impossible for them to block these freaks. Soon, they would probably all die here.

    "Senior Xia Yan!" Chen Feng suddenly saw the distant Xia Yan as he called for help. "Save us!"

    "I¡¯ming."

    An anxious expression was shown on Xia Yan¡¯s face.

    Shua!

    Purification energy started flickering around her as the few dark freaks got out of the way in fear. Toward such purification energy, they had an innate fear.

    "Hang on! Brother Peng will be here soon!" Xia Yan reached their side and handed over several gene reagents. "He sent me over to protect you all first. Come, take this gene reagent down first to increase the purification energy here."

    "Many thanks," everyone said gratefully.

    Shua!

    As they opened the cover of the bottle, everyone was about to consume the gene reagents.

    A smiling expression appeared in Xia Yan¡¯s eyes.

    It was at this instant that Qin Hai¡¯s eyes shed and a gush of pure spiritual shockwave erupted from him and smashed toward Xia Yan.

    Damn it!

    Xia Yan¡¯s pupils constricted.

    Shua!

    She retreated backward hastily and dodged Qin Hai¡¯s attack. However, outside of her expectations, what weed her after she retreated was a session of terrifying ice-cold Wind des!

    "Pu!"

    Blood bloomed.

    Despite her high vignce, she still lost an arm!

    Blood started spurting out of her severed arm.

    "I failed to kill her?"

    Chen Feng was somewhat regretful.

    He had initially believed that he would be able to instantly kill her. What a pity.

    "What are you all doing?!" Sun Han and Lin Ke¡¯s expressions changed greatly. "You have both be dark freaks?"

    Chen Feng merely sneered. "Idiot."

    Distantly, the terror on Xia Yan¡¯s face waned as she looked at Chen Feng coldly. "How did you find out?"

    She looked at her bleeding shoulder and gulped down a bottle of gene reagent. With that, the bleeding stopped as the wound the size of a bowl started healing at a high speed.

    "You..."

    Only now did Sun Han and the rest notice that the problematic person was not Chen Feng or Qin Hai; instead, it was Xia Yan, the sexy female producer!

    The purifier assigned for this mission!

    "I didn¡¯t like you from the first moment I saw you," Chen Feng said coldly. "Although Peng Long was a person of few words, every time he said something, he would be exining to us the ways to eradicate the dark freaks. As for you, although you appeared to be concerned about everyone with your incessantforting words, not a single word you uttered was of substance. Moreover, every time Peng Long reached a crucial point in his exnation, you would interrupt him.

    "It would¡¯ve been fine if it had only happened once. But when it repeated two and three times...there was definitely a problem somewhere. Of course, at that time, I was merely feeling suspicious.

    "Dark freaks are obviously something with intelligence. However, the dark freaks here are all out of their minds, behaving like some mindless beasts.

    "This is the second reason for my suspicion.

    "Third, when you were obviously capable of easily defeating the dark freak in the digitized world yet you end up pretending to be gravely injured, we became certain¡ª

    "There¡¯s some problem with you!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was cold.

    Unfortunately, when he¡¯d found out what had happened from Xiao Ying, Peng Long and Xia Yan had already charged forth. Otherwise, he might have been able to rescue Peng Long!

    "What a clever little brother." Xia Yan smiled as she said, "Unfortunately I¡¯m now a one-armed person. If not, I would definitely apud you."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed. "Who are you actually?"

    "This is something you don¡¯t need to know." Xia Yan looked at him while beaming. "You are all quick-witted indeed. Unfortunately, all of you still need to die here. This elder sister here is not interested in ying with a dead person, oh~"

    Shua!

    A sh of cold glint.

    Xia Yan abruptly bent as a cold glint shed past her and smashed onto the ground.

    Not far away, Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s silhouette appeared.

    Assassination failed!

    The smile on Xia Yan¡¯s face vanished. "Bad kids."

    She had never expected that Chen Feng was actually talking to her to drag the time out so that Yun Xiaoduo could mount a sneak attack. These few fellows were indeed not as simple as they appeared to be.

    "Hmph."

    "I refuse to believe that you all can leave this ce alive."

    Xia Yan¡¯s body retreated with a flying speed.

    Shua!

    The purification energy faded.

    Instantly, the few dark freaks surrounded Chen Feng¡¯s group. Moreover, the dark freak that was killed by Peng Long earlier hade over as well.

    Six of them!

    "Have fun."

    Xia Yan smiled coldly as her silhouette vanished.

    Her mission this time was to retrieve the information left at the Qin family. These interns here that were about to die were not worth her time.

    "Howl!"

    Currently, a terrifying aura started bubbling around the body of the six dark freaks.

    Chen Feng¡®s group was in a grave danger!

    "We¡¯re finished."

    Sun Han and the rest were ashen-faced.

    Without their gene reagents, they were simply withoutbat power!

    Spiritual shockwave?

    It was simply ineffective against these fellows!

    "Drag them into the digitized world!" Sun Han shouted in terror.

    "You can¡¯t!" Qin Hai rejected that decisively. "Even a newborn dark freak is extremely terrifying. If you were to drag one into the digitized world before first killing their physical body, you will definitely die!"

    They were only gene producers!

    Even for purifiers, assistance of supervisors was required in order to thoroughly kill a dark freak. What should they, producers without any sort of preparations for this, do now?

    "What should we do..."

    Everyone despaired.

    Howl!

    The dark freaks moved.

    With the six of them erupting at the same time, the power unleashed was extremely terrifying.

    "Xiaoduo!" Qin Hai said suddenly.

    Yun Xiaoduo smiled bitterly. "I can only block one off."

    She was merely an E-ss gic warrior!

    Against D-ss dark freaks, she could only hold one of them. As for the rest...

    There were five more!

    "Bang!"

    The dark freaks charged at them.

    It seemed like something bad was about to befall them. At this time, Chen Feng sighed as he finally decided to make his move.

    "Let me do it, then," Chen Feng said calmly.

    Hum¡ª

    The genes in his body started burning furiously.

    Shua!

    Luck Aura, activated!

    In times of danger, Chen Feng did not hesitate!

    Bang!

    In an instant, an endless amount of Wind des charged forth.

    Every single one of these Wind des was flickering with a bizarre azure glow. That was the power of purification! Chen Feng had at this instant activated his Myriad Illusions ability to change the property of his Wind des to purification.

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    A huge amount of purifying Wind des shot forth.

    More than half the underground tunnel was brightly lit at this moment by the dazzling Wind des.

    Trantor¡¯s Thoughts

    Limostn Limostn

    As there are quite a number of people asking about the release rate, let me adress it here. The regr release rate is 10 per week. During the past few weeks, it has been increased to 4 per day in conjunction with the Chrismas and New Year holidays, as a celebration. Now that the holidays are over, naturally, the release rate is reverting back to the regr rate, which is 10 per week. The shown release rate at the front page is an AVERAGE of weekly chapters released SINCE chapter 1, as such, it does not urately represent the actual regr release rate as bonus chapters will skew that number.

    Chapter 174: No Mercy

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The underground tunnel was brightly lit.

    A storm of Wind des.

    The terrifying purifying energy erupted, stunning everyone present. Yun Xiaoduo stopped her secret art that was about to be activated and looked at all this nkly.

    Pu!

    Pu!

    A storm of Wind des engulfed the dark freaks.

    The newborn dark freaks were bombarded to death by Chen Feng.

    "This..."

    Everyone nked.

    None of them had expected Chen Feng to have such a terrifyingbat power. They all knew that one of Chen Feng¡¯s gic abilities was Wind de. However, since when did Wind des have a purifying attribute? And since when did the Wind de¡¯s amount during release be so high?

    Chen Feng...

    He was a producer!

    Yun Xiaoduo had a bewildered expression on her face. It was fine that this guy crushed her in terms of gene production. Now, even hisbat power was higher than hers. How was this possible?

    "What are you all nking out for?" Qin Hai shouted. "Drag them into the digitized world!"

    Everyone was startled awake.

    After being killed, these dark freaks would not disappear. Rather, they would start absorbing energy without stop to reform their body.

    "Understood."

    "Hum¡ª"

    Digitized world activated!

    "Come!" Sun Han shouted.

    Since they hadn¡¯t been much help up till now, they were eager to help now. Lin Ke and the rest were stirred and started dragging the dark freaks into their digitized worlds.

    One for each!

    The few of them had finished dragging all the avable dark freaks into their respective digitized worlds before Chen Feng, Qin Hai, and Yun Xiaoduo were able to do it.

    After thepetition, even those who had not constructed their digitized world had gone on to learn some digital battling methods or digitized world construction methods. Now that they had a chance to demonstrate their prowess, they would not hold back.

    Shua!

    All the dark freaks disappeared from reality.

    Digital battles began!

    This was quite a simple task. As these dark freaks were all newborn, they were quite weak. After their physical body was killed by Chen Feng, theirbat power was greatly reduced as well. Now, one only needed to erase their existence in the digitized world and they would be done with it. However, surprising Chen Feng, these fellows that had dragged the dark freaks into their respective digitized worlds actually...

    Failed to defeat the dark freaks!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Xiao Ying travelled back and forth through their digitized worlds.

    From Xiao Ying¡¯s consciousness, Chen Feng could clearly see that those fellows were in a disadvantageous position! If this continued, they might end up devoured by the dark freaks instead.

    Trash!

    Chen Feng cursed inwardly.

    They finally understood the reason the Gene Production Association had such high requirements for purifiers. If one couldn¡¯t even meet these requirements, one might end up dragging others down instead.

    Hum¡ª

    A dark-colored aura could already be seen blooming from Sun Han¡¯s body.

    Qin Hai¡¯s expression changed slightly. "What to do?"

    "Wait." Chen Feng nced at them and said, "Huang He and Lin Ke are still able to hold on. We can let them be for now. As for the rest... let¡¯s activate a digital battle against them directly."

    Digital battle?

    Now?

    Everyone nked before realized it.

    Digital battle! It was a collision of the digitized worlds of two producers!

    However, there were no rules saying both producers had to fight each other in the digitized world. If they were to start a digital battle at this moment, they could join hands to defeat the dark freaks!

    "Good idea."

    Everyone¡¯s eyes shone.

    Shua!

    Digital battle activated!

    "Bang!"

    Digitized worlds started descending.

    In an instant, the digitized world that was in imminent danger became firmer due to the inclusion of a new digitized world. Now, with two producers against one dark freak, the dark freak was quickly defeated.

    Pu!

    Pu!

    One dark freak after another got eradicated.

    It ended.

    Chen Feng had a calm expression.

    The faint red light in his hands disappeared noiselessly.

    That was Xiao Ying.

    Since normal methods were usable to deal with this, there was no need for him to expose Xiao Ying. Apart from Qin Hai and Yun Xiaoduo, he did not quite trust the rest.

    Chen Feng looked toward a certain corner in the tunnel. "Xia Yan was headed over that way."

    "Let¡¯s go!" Qin Hai said decisively.

    Xia Yan herself was a producer without muchbat power and was only able to rely on the dark freaks. Now was the perfect chance for them to deal with her.

    Shua!

    The group chased after her.

    In the depths of the tunnel, Xia Yan had finally found the information left behind by the Qin family. As she prepared to leave with this information, she heard footsteps from the tunnel.

    "This sound..."

    Doubtfully, she looked over. At that, her expression changed immediately.

    It was those interns!

    How was this possible?

    Six dark freaks had been left there. In that situation, even Peng Long might perish. These interns had actually dealt with those dark freaks?

    Xia Yan¡¯s heart thumped. She finally recalled that among these producers, there was a peculiar existence among them¡ªYun Xiaoduo! That damnable donkey was the actual producer. Yun Xiaoduo herself, though, was a gic warrior! If she arrived here, Xia Yan might not be able to escape.

    She had to leave, now!

    I won¡¯t be able to take this away?

    Xia Yan felt somewhat regretful.

    Before her eyes was a stack of paper with a faint glow on it. These were the results of their many years of research.

    In this era of genes, only by using these specially produced papers could one hide and protect the information one wanted to.

    Unfortunately, she wouldn¡¯t be able to take it away.

    The original n was to eliminate everyone here and take these away. However...

    "It¡¯s a pity."

    Xia Yan shook her head.

    She was too clear on the importance of this information. Since she couldn¡¯t take it away, she could only destroy them. There were also these damnable interns! If they hadn¡¯t got involved at thest moment...

    "Hmph!"

    Xia Yan¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly.

    As she stared coldly at the direction the group wasing from, she calmed down.

    Shua!

    She took out several bottles of gene reagents and ced them in front of her.

    At the same time, Chen Feng and the rest arrived.

    This was an extremely long underground tunnel. They had just arrived to find Xia Yan waiting for them there. Beside her was something with a faint glow on it.

    "Those things..."

    That was the first thing Chen Feng noticed when he arrived. In this dark tunnel, even a faint radiance appeared extremely dazzling.

    Is this the target of her mission?

    Sun Han gnashed his teeth as he stepped forth. "You whore, let me see where you run now!"

    He had adored her since her initial appearance, yet he¡¯d ended up tricked, making him feel like he had been yed around with. Now, since there was only one exit in this tunnel, Xia Yan would definitely fail to escape.

    A faint smile was on Xia Yan¡¯s face. "This big sister here has been waiting for you lot, oh."

    This women...

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils swirled around as he looked at those gene reagent bottles on the ground. These bottles appeared to be some random bottles that were left around on the ground.

    Coupled with the faintly glowing papers in the dark tunnel, these bottles were nearly unnoticeable.

    However, these things... and their positioning... gene armament!

    This term suddenly appeared in Chen Feng¡¯s head.

    Is it a misconception?

    He knew that hecked understanding on gene armaments. Hence, he looked toward Qin Hai beside him only to find that a solemn expression had appeared on Qin Hai¡¯s face.

    Something was wrong indeed!

    "We have a problem," Qin Hai said with a low voice.

    "Come back!" Chen Feng shouted.

    "The f*ck should I be scared of?" Sun Han was not scared at all. "She is merely a producer as well. What is there to be afraid of?"

    Xia Yan looked at him as she beamed. "What an obedient little brother."

    Shh!

    She exhaled toward Sun Han. "Little brother, don¡¯t miss this sister here too much, all right?"

    Shua!

    A faint gust of energy dispersed.

    "Retreat!" Chen Feng shouted.

    Shua!

    Several silhouettes retreated immediately.

    Beneath Xia Yan¡¯s foot, those gene reagents burst apart in an instant and energy of over 10 different natures interweaved together before erupting with a terrifying power.

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying gush of energy bloomed.

    Sun Han widened his eyes. "What is this..."

    His body was instantly engulfed by that erupting energy.

    Bang!

    The energy flooded past him.

    Sun Han, dead.

    This was a perfectly straight tunnel. Hence, there was nowhere for them to hide.

    This woman...

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils constricted.

    They had guessed that those gene reagents were some gene armament or trump card of Xia Yan¡¯s. However, they had never expected these gene reagents to be such a suicidal attacking method.

    Had this woman gone insane?!

    Escape!

    Escape!

    Everyone hastily escaped.

    However, the flood of energy was moving at a much higher speed than they were. If this continued, they would only end up engulfed by the boundless energy and die.

    What to do?

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes swirled around rapidly.

    Wind de?

    It wasn¡¯t sufficient.

    In this kind of ce...

    Chen Feng looked at the immense amount of energy that was gushing toward them like a river. The straightness of this tunnel had be the reaper of their lives.

    "I don¡¯t want to die."

    Bei Ta and the rest were frantic and horrified.

    Qin Hai stepped out. "Let me try."

    Hum¡ª

    His few remaining gene reagents bloomed.

    Shua!

    A dark-gold energy sword condensed in his hand. This was his strongest gene armament. This was also the strongest ability he had demonstrated during the rookiepetition.

    sh!

    Qin Hai aimed his sh at the end of the tunnel.

    Bang!

    The dark-gold radiance collided with the erupting energy.

    However...

    The energy wave merely slowed for an instant before it once again started charging toward them.

    Chen Feng suddenly made his move. "Xiaoduo!"

    Bang!

    Two Wind des appeared and smashed toward the sides of the tunnel. Part of the tunnel was smashed and crumbled down, blocking the tunnel.

    "Understood."

    Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s eyes started shining.

    Bang!

    A terrifying eruption of power.

    Thump!

    Thump!

    Fists rained.

    The whole tunnel crumbled down while the Qin family¡¯s ruin started sinking. The energy wave from the end of the tunnel finally slowed its advance.

    It was working!

    Everyone¡¯s eyes shone.

    "Continue!"

    Chen Feng was overjoyed. At this moment, countless Wind des shot forth. Yun Xiaoduo exerted her power to its utmost as well.

    As they escaped, they continued crushing the tunnel. The energy wave was constantly obstructed and it was constantly slowed down.

    "We are almost out," some eximed happily. Not far away from them, the corner of the tunnel could already be seen. As long as they got past the corner and entered another tunnel, they would be able to hide from the energy wave!

    However, it was at this moment that the energy wave that had momentarily paused started erupting in power once again.

    The sound of a violent could be heard. At this moment, the whole Qin family¡¯s ruin trembled.

    Bang!

    The energy wave started violently charging forth.

    Shua!

    All the obstructions were blown apart.

    The target of the energy wave was Chen Feng¡¯s group!

    Danger!

    "We are finished."

    Everyone¡¯s hearts chilled.

    Bang!

    The energy wave reached them. Suddenly, a dazzling white light radiated.

    Vaguely, a silhouette was seemingly standing in front of them.

 Chapter 175: Natural Leader

    Chapter 175: Natural Leader

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Qin family¡¯s ruin. At the outeryer, the warriors of the Gic Union were guarding the blockade, not allowing anyone to get inside. However, it was at this moment that the earth trembled.

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying explosion erupted from the Qin family¡¯s ruin.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The Qin family¡¯s ruin that was already in a mess was messed up once again.

    "Not good."

    The personnel at the outeryer felt something was amiss.

    Peng Long and Chen Feng¡¯s group were all underneath the ruin!

    "Fast, start the rescue!"

    A loud shout.

    The gic warriors rushed over.

    However, as they were about to enter the tunnel, an even more terrifying gush of power erupted and sted the gic warriors away.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    All of them were sted out of the ruin.

    "Damn it!"

    They crawled up with their faces filthy with grime.

    They were not worried about their injuries. However, for those in there...

    Shua!

    A sh of a silhouette.

    "Someone is out."

    Everyone was overjoyed. "Quick, save them."

    In the ruin, a bloody silhouette crawled out. It was Xia Yan.

    "Xia Yan, where¡¯s the rest?" someone asked.

    "They..." Xia Yan¡¯s eyes were streaming tears. "To save me, they..."

    Xia Yan started sobbing. "Wu wu wu."

    Under her grief, her voice gradually faded as she lost consciousness.

    "She fainted."

    "Probably due to excessive blood loss."

    "Quick, send her to the hospital. If the gene reagent is used in time, her arm can still regrow."

    "Understood."

    The employees arranged.

    "The rest of you start the rescue operation immediately."

    "Understood."

    Everyone had solemn expressions.

    They knew that something major must had happened.

    A gic warrior with purifying abilities¡ªPeng Long¡ªand 10 gene producers with bright futures... if they were to all die here...

    "Quick!"

    "Send a rescue team down immediately!"

    Suddenly.

    The air cracked.

    A silhouetted descended from the sky.

    Hou Liang swept his cold gaze on everyone there and said gloomily, "What happened?"

    "Something happened."

    An employee exined what had happened with a bitter smile on his face.

    Explosion?

    Another dark freak?

    Hou Liang was ashen-faced.

    There should only be a single D-ss dark freak that failed to escape in time beneath the Qin family¡¯s ruin. How was it possible for Peng Long and Xia Yan to be injured by this dark freak?

    There was also Chen Feng!

    He would never believe that this little monkey had zerobat power!

    Dead?

    How was that possible?

    What on earth had happened here?

    The Gene Production Association would notmit such a stupid mistake. Could it be... some terrifying new breed of dark energy had once again appeared? If that was the case...

    Forget it.

    Hou Liang shook his head.

    "Use whatever methods avable to us.

    "They must be rescued!

    "If they are still alive, we must find them in person. Even if they are dead, we must find their corpse!" Hou Liang said, word by word.

    "Understood!"

    Everyone had solemn expressions.

    All the gic warriors started the rescue operation. All sorts of scouting abilities were utilized to look for a sign of life among the Qin family¡¯s ruin.

    Currently, beneath the ruin.

    Everyone looked ahead with an unbelievable expression.

    In front of them, was a huge yellow ball. With astonishment, they found that this was the yellow ball that Yun Xiaoduo was normally seated on, the yellow ball the size of a yoga ball.

    However, the current yellow ball had be extremely huge, appearing like an inted ballon.

    "This guy..."

    Everyone was shocked.

    That was because, during their moment of crisis, this chubby ball here was the one that jumped out and ate all the energy that was charging toward them! It had forcefully stopped the energy wave!

    "Hup~

    "I...

    "Can¡¯t hold on!"

    The yellow ball hupped.

    Xiu!

    It turned into a clump of yellow light and disappeared in a sh.

    Chen Feng was anxious. "Are you all right?"

    "I¡¯m fine." Yun Xiaoduo shook her head and said sadly, "This time, Pika ate too many energy. Before full digestion, it won¡¯t be able toe out anymore. I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to see it for a long time."

    Chen Feng: ...

    Pika...chu?[1]

    "Don¡¯t worry." Qin Haiforted, "The next time it appears, it will definitely be stronger!"

    "Now... we should instead be worried of how we should leave this damnable ce?"

    Everyone raised their heads and look over.

    The initially intact tunnel was now sinking without stop. Although they had survived the energy wave, they might end up buried alive here instead.

    Yun Xiaoduo exhausted all her energy while Chen Feng¡¯s energy was near exhaustion as well.

    The rest of them were all producers!

    They were not even aware of how far away this ce was from the surface. Could they truly leave here?

    Bei Ta wanted to say something. "I¡ª"

    Suddenly, Qin Hai stretched his hand and pushed Bei Ta away.

    Bang!

    A huge chunk of ruin fell down onto the spot Bei Ta had been standing on, leaving a pit on it.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    Xiu!

    Chen Feng tried using his Wind des to bombard the fallen chunk.

    Peng!

    Peng!

    A crisp sound could be heard. However, the Wind des failed to smash the chunk.

    The tunnel was constructed through ordinary materials. Hence, they would be able to smash these materials. However, these falling chunks from the Qin family¡¯s ruin were the original materials that were used as the wall of the Qin family¡¯s ce. As a defense from outside attacks, these walls of the Qin family were built using materials that couldn¡¯t be destroyed using ordinary methods!

    At least, with Chen Feng and Yun Xiaoduo¡¯s strength, it was something they couldn¡¯t break.

    Moreover, these materials were extremely heavy.

    Bang!

    Far away, another chunk of ruin started sinking.

    Everyone was in despair.

    They were aware that only a single one of these chunks was needed to crush them all to death! Within this crumbling Qin family¡¯s ruin...

    They had no escape route!

    "What should we do?"

    They despaired.

    "Bei Ta, what about your mutated dark rat gene reagent?"

    Some recalled this.

    "I don¡¯t have it." Bei Ta smiled bitterly. "That was something that I have never produced in the real world. The materials it requires are very hard to find. Hence, I can only produce it during thepetition."

    Everyone sunk into silence.

    Among them, only Yun Xiaoduo and Chen Feng hadbat power.

    However, Chen Feng had exhausted a huge amount of his spiritual energy when they had faced the dark freaks previously. Yun Xiaoduo had also nearly exhausted her energy when saving them.

    All methods avable to them were already exhausted.

    "I..."

    Lin Ke clenched his fists tightly.

    He was sure that if it wasn¡¯t for him wanting to demonstrate his prowess in front of Xia Yan earlier and wasted all his precious energy-form mechanical gene armament, he could definitely do something now instead of being baggage!

    "Hum¡ª"

    A sh of dark-gold radiance.

    In Qin Hai¡¯s hand, that familiar looking radiance shone once again.

    "This is..."

    Everyone¡¯s eyes lit up.

    Qin Hai¡¯s gene armament was still avable!

    "Although it failed to block that energy wave earlier, my gene armament is still not something that can be easily destroyed." Qin Hai was confident. "Now, follow my lead as we kill our way out!"

    Bang!

    A chunk of ruin fell down above them. The dark-gold sword in Qin Hai¡¯s hand shed and shed toward that chunk.

    Bang!

    That chunk was smashed out of the way by Qin Hai.

    Blocked!

    Everyone was overjoyed.

    However... with their acute senses, they found that the energy sword in Qin Hai¡¯s hand had dimmed.

    Drip! Drip!

    On the back of Qin Hai¡¯s hand, blood dripped quietly.

    Everyone¡¯s hearts trembled. Qin Hai was most probably forcing himself as well!

    He was the only advanced producer among their group. The only one among them who had reached D ss. Hence, he wanted to use his courage to bring hope to everyone here. However...

    How long could hest?

    "We are all arrogant sons of the heavens." Qin Hai pointed forward with his dark gold sword and said with a firm gaze, "We will definitely be able to leave this ce! Even if there¡¯s no path for us, we will forge a path with our very blood!"

    Everyone tightly clenched their fists.

    True!

    How could they die here?

    In their heart, their survival instinct returned.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Worthy of being Qin Hai!

    A natural leader, incredibly positive!

    These words of his were quite instigative in nature. However, when used in situations such as their current predicament, it was incredibly inspiring.

    Once again, they set forth.

    However...

    Passion was not something that could bring luck by itself.

    "Bang!"

    Another chunk of ruin dropped.

    With a single sh, Qin Hai smashed the chunk away. However, the blood that was dripping from the back of his hand was increasing in amount.

    He was using his very life to open up a path for them!

    "Ah!"

    Lin Ke punched the ground. His fist was filled with blood as well.

    He was feeling very hateful!

    If...

    If he had even a single bottle of gene reagent left, Qin Hai wouldn¡¯t be in such a precarious situation.

    The rest of them were filled with shame as well.

    Why...

    Why did Qin Hai have to be the only one bearing all this?

    "There¡¯s no need for any guilt." Qin Hai smiled calmly. "This was initially a disaster originating from the Qin family. Let me, the ex¨CQin family member, make my final contribution."

    Bang!

    A dazzling dark-gold radiance.

    Once again, Qin Hai smashed a chunk of ruin away.

    Blood...

    Dripped down without stop.

    "This guy..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled.

    Hu!

    He exhaled deeply.

    Chen Feng stepped forth, getting in front of Qin Hai.

    "Mhm?" Qin Hai looked at him doubtfully.

    "From now onward, follow my lead," Chen Feng said calmly as his gaze swept past everyone there before finally stopping at Qin Hai. "When your help is required, I will let you know."

    As he finished, he calmly shut his eyes.

    "This is..."

    Everyone¡¯s pupils constricted.

    This same scene again!

    The scene they saw countless times in the rey of thepetition!

    There were even experts who said that Chen Feng was a person possessing an innate terrifying awareness. The moment he shut his eyes, he was also in his deadliest form.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng stepped forth.

    One step.

    Two steps.

    ...

    Chen Feng walked in front of everyone.

    The energy sword in Qin Hai¡¯s hand shone as he followed closely behind Chen Feng. They were leading the way with everyone following behind them.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Chunks of ruin descended.

    There were several times where Qin Hai couldn¡¯t help himself and almost made a move.

    However, every single time, those chunks would, in a bizarre manner, barely brush past them.

    One time after another!

    These structures that had lost their construct that was now the ruin of Qin family had actually started dropping all around Chen Feng¡¯s group in an orderly fashion.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The routes they passed were all blocked by the falling chunks. However, the path in front of them remained open.

    "So powerful."

    Everyone was shaken.

    Was this the innate terrifying awareness mentioned by those experts? They had never imagined that a person of such talent would actually exist in this world!

    Amidst the ruin, they moved like a person taking a stroll.

    Footnotes:

    1. The joke here is, the name of that yellow ball is Pika, while the word ball is ¡®qiu¡¯ in Chinese. Hence, Pika ball = Pika Qiu in Chinese, which sounds like Pikachu.

    Chapter 176: The Unveiled Mystery

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Suddenly, Chen Feng stopped his steps. Despite the activation of his Luck Aura, he could still feel a sense of crisis.

    There was danger in front of them!

    Is it falling down? Chen Feng thought knowingly.

    The base form of his Luck Aura would only affect the probability of things, which was why a lot of tottering structures around them stayed firm without crumbling. However, if whatever that was supporting a certain structure waspletely gone...

    Then the structure crumbling down became an incident with a probability of 100%.

    If he insisted on stopping it, he would have to activate the advanced form of Luck Aura to affect more than the probability of things. Instead, reality itself needed to be affected to interfere with the crumbling of the particr structure. In that circumstance, the small amount of luck values Chen Feng had saved up would be fully exhausted in a split second. And afterward, they would no longer have any other chances to leave this tunnel safely.

    Hence...

    They could not take this step forward.

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    Everyone was somewhat bbergasted by Chen Feng¡¯s action of stopping.

    However, it was at this moment that the wall above them started rocking.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The wall came crumbling down, smashing onto the path in front of them.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone perspired all over their body.

    If it wasn¡¯t for Chen Feng...

    "Let¡¯s go."

    Chen Feng took a detour around the crumbled wall and set off once again.

    However, soon after, Chen Feng encountered a simr circumstance once again. It was even more horrifying this time as there were several pieces of walls that would crumble down, including the chunk directly above them.

    Even Luck Aura would not be able to block this falling wall.

    Chen Feng stopped. "Qin Hai! Above us!" Chen Feng said.

    "Understood."

    The dark energy sword in Qin Hai¡¯s hand bloomed.

    Bang!

    The piece of the wall that crumbled down from above them was smashed away. Around them, pieces of wall started crumbling down. An area with the circumference of 10 meters was entirely covered by the falling pieces.

    Incredibly thrilling.

    We are arriving soon... Chen Feng muttered inwardly.

    They took a huge detour around the crumbled walls. Finally, they reached where Xia Yan had been earlier.

    "It¡¯s here."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes lit up.

    He refused to believe that Xia Yan would truly want to die together with them. Indeed, they found bloodstains on the ground but no signs of Xia Yan¡¯s corpse.

    That woman had escaped!

    "Follow the bloodstains."

    Everyone was stirred.

    It was indeed as their guesses.

    They followed along the blood trail and started crawling upward. Thorough this path, no obstructions was met. Soon, they could feel the fresh air and signs of light from the surface ground.

    "There¡¯s signal here!"

    Everyone was pleasantly surprised.

    Chen Feng smiled. "Let¡¯s go!"

    Bang!

    Qin Hai smashed the ground.

    At the Qin family¡¯s ruin, the rescue personnel were searching nonstop. However, due to the energy separation on the wall coupled with a messy tangle of all sorts of other energy in it, the rescue operation was not progressing smoothly at all.

    The rescue mission¡¯s progress was worse off than everyone had imagined.

    Even Hou Liang¡¯s expression gradually turned unsightly. Chen Feng, them...

    It was at this moment that...

    Bang!

    The ground suddenly crumbled down.

    One aura after another that was familiar yet weakened appeared.

    "Someone ising out!"

    "Quick!"

    The rescue personnel were pleasantly surprised.

    "It¡¯s them!"

    Hou Liang¡¯s eyes lit up.

    Shua!

    He charged into the ruin. It was indeed those children!

    "Hahaha."

    Hou Liang was very happy.

    He knew that these children wouldn¡¯t die here.

    Currently, in the hospital, under the doctor¡¯s emergency treatment, Xia Yan already had her arm restored. In this gene era, as long as one did not suffer from brain death, there would definitely be a way for one to have full recovery.

    However, unexpectedly, the atmosphere in the hospital ward was somewhat bizarre in an indescribable fashion.

    "Big brother..." Xia Yan stuck to the personnel in front of her. "I¡¯m scared."

    "Ah..."

    The personnel blushed.

    He was merely an ordinary medic with a certain level of healing ability. When had he ever gotten the chance to be so close to a producer, and such a beautiful and alluring producer on top of that?

    Xia Yan pasted her seductive body to the medic. "Can you apany me for a bit?"

    "All right," the medic answered nervously. He could feel his body heating up.

    "I¡¯m cold." Xia Yan started rubbing her body in the medic¡¯s embrace, her tiny hands crawling all over the medic¡¯s body. However, her eyes were focused on themunication tool on his waist.

    "First position search done."

    "Second position search done."

    ...

    Messages kept appearing on themunication tool.

    Suddenly, a new message appeared.

    "New update for rescue personnel. Qin Hai¡¯s spiritual energy was overexhausted, assistance is urgently required."

    What?

    Xia Yan¡¯s heart jolted ferociously.

    They came out! They actually came out?

    Xia Yan was shocked.

    These bastards were supposed to die the moment she exploded her gene armament!

    Furthermore...

    The whole tunnel had crumbled down. Coupled with the special environment of the Qin family¡¯s ruin and also her attack, how was it possible for them to have survived?

    Damn it!

    Xia Yan had an ominous feeling.

    If Qin Hai, Chen Feng, and the rest survived...

    "Oh oh~" The body of the medic in her embrace trembled as he gasped. "Faster."

    Suddenly, his body stiffened.

    Gently, Xia Yan¡¯s body slipped out of his embrace.

    Blood... started flowing.

    Currently, at the Qin family¡¯s ruin, the first words Chen Feng said after he came out was, "There¡¯s a problem with Xia Yan. She killed Peng Long."

    "Xia Yan?" Hou Liang nked and ordered immediately. "Hold Xia Yan down!"

    Regardless of whether what Chen Feng said was true or not, it wouldn¡¯t be wrong to get Xia Yan first.

    "All right."

    The personnel ordered promptly.

    However, they suddenly lost contact with the personnel posted at the hospital. When they arrived, only a cold corpse was found.

    Xia Yan had escaped!

    "Trash!"

    Hou Liang was furious.

    No wonder they couldn¡¯t find any other dark energy! No wonder something so major would happen during a normal purifying mission!

    Xia Yan...

    The problem actually originated from a purifier of their Gene Production Association?

    "Investigate. Investigate this thoroughly! Use your abilities to perform a full investigation on all the purifiers," Hou Liang ordered.

    What joke was this? If even the purifiers were problematic, one could imagine how serious this issue would be. The dark freaks¡¯ pration had reached such a level?

    Hou Liang looked at Chen Feng. "How are you all?"

    "We¡¯re fine." Chen Feng shook his head. Apart from Qin Hai who was seriously injured, the rest were in good condition.

    "How did he end up so heavily injured?"

    Hou Liang looked at Qin Hai that was being carried away in an ambnce.

    Wasn¡¯t this the second time for him?

    Just as his body recovered, he was lying on the hospital bed once again.

    Moreover, every time he suffered an injury, it was due to excessive exhaustion of spiritual energy coupled with external injuries. External injuries were easy to heal. However, for excessive exhaustion of spiritual energy... if it happened too much, problems would arise!

    "He should be fine." Chen Feng looked at the rest that came out with them and coldly said, "To rescue a group of idiotic team members!"

    "Is that so?" Hou Liang said thoughtfully.

    Despite them being the top 10, despite the formidable strength disyed during thepetition, however, in real life, the level of performance these people had demonstrated was too different from each other!

    "They all applied to join the headquarters... When we return, I will appoint you as the evaluator," Hou Liang said coldly.

    "Thanks."

    Chen Feng¡¯s lips curled up, forming a smile.

    Evaluating their qualifications to enter the headquarters?

    Hehe!

    He would definitely take that job seriously!

    Since Chen Feng¡¯s group was fine, Hou Liang felt relieved. However, they had to investigate clearly what had actually happened. They also had to figure out if there were other hidden conspiracies!

    "Unfortunately, Xia Yan escaped," Hou Liang said coldly. After investigating, they had found out that Xia Yan was here for those research results. However, those research results had been destroyed, so no one knew the contents within.

    They were not even aware of the motive behind everything.

    What information had they been trying to retrieve?

    What had Xia Yan been trying to hide?

    What had the dark freaks been doing with the Qin family?

    No one knew!

    Chen Feng suddenly smiled. "That¡¯s not for sure."

    "Mhm?" Hou Liang nked.

    "We encountered the information they were trying to retrieve once. At that time, we were chasing after Xia Yan and reached the end of the tunnel. Beside her were a bunch of items. When we arrived, they all exploded..." Chen Feng said faintly.

    Hou Liang nodded slightly. He was aware of all this.

    "However," Chen Feng suddenly said, "the moment we saw those things, I aimed my wristband toward those things and took some interesting pictures..."

    Shua!

    Hou Liang¡¯s eyes shone.

    Pictures!

    Due to the fact that their signals had been blocked in the tunnel, they had all subconsciously neglected this. This had not even crossed the mind of Yun Xiaoduo and the rest.

    However, Chen Feng...

    "Good, good, good!"

    Hou Liang was ecstatic. Worthy of being the genius he looked highly upon indeed!

    Shua!

    Chen Feng transmitted the pictures he¡¯d taken to Hou Liang.

    Despite them being unclear...

    Despite the distance being very far...

    However, as long as a small clue was given, the Gic Union would be able to obtain more information after analyzing it. To prevent anything unexpected from happening, Hou Liang directly summoned a cracking squad to proceed with the analysis.

    In half an hour, the information Chen Feng had taken pictures of was fully reinstated. Although what was reinstated was merely the top page of the stack, something that only the naked eye could see, even with this alone, it was sufficient to overwhelm everyone with shock.

    That was because the information showed that behind Xia Yan was a huge organization with aplete organizational structure.

    As for the dark freaks?

    These were merely one of the energy form organisms that this group had produced from research.

    That was all.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone inhaled a mouthful of cold breath.

    Dark freaks?

    Only one of the energy form organisms?

    A huge organization?

    "This..."

    Even Hou Liang couldn¡¯t remain calm.

 Chapter 177: Star City!

    Chapter 177: Star City!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Come with me."

    Hou Liang brought everyone to the Sea City branch.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Screenshots on the screen were rearranged unceasingly.

    "Dark freak project..."

    "The birth and destruction of dark energy..."

    "me Mountain¡¯s intelligence project..."

    "Stormheart control project..."

    ...

    One shocking heading after another appeared.

    Even the front page of the stack of document was already so shocking.

    Purification?

    It became a small priority.

    Quite a huge amount of people would try to destroy the world on a yearly basis. However, how many of them seeded?

    In this era, it was very normal for individuals who experienced a sudden growth in power to arise. They would attempt to establish a new kingdom with their newfound power, destroy something, or think of bing a demon king when they became too hotheaded with their power. These were quite ordinary urrences nowadays. Unfortunately, a lot of these people died before they achieved their goal. Only a small part of these people were able to truly grow.

    These people or organizations that managed to grow were the ones that were truly dangerous to this world.

    This was normal.

    As per their database, there were 236 incidents marked by the Gic Union and Gene Production Association as something capable of threatening the world.

    Dark freaks?

    Merely one of them.

    Furthermore...

    The danger level assigned to the dark freaks was merely 1 star.

    However, anything marked with the "threat to the world"bel should never be looked down on. Hence, even a 1-star incident would require an elder like Hou Liang to handle.

    But they had never imagined that a whole organization would be rted to this.

    The most horrifying thing was that, from the rough information they had now obtained, among the 236 incidentsbeled as a "threat to the world," 72 of them were rted to this organization!

    Among these 72 incidents, 30 of them had previously been treated as "natural disasters," with the remaining 42 incidents were not treated as seperate incidents before this.

    This was the most horrifying aspect of this.

    This was a huge organization that had been hidden all this while.

    "This..."

    Everyone shivered at this thought.

    They knew that this time, Chen Feng had probably taken a picture of something extremely crucial.

    Hou Liang¡¯s expression was unsightly. "Only these?"

    These were merely the tip of the iceberg. Beneath every one of these projects, those pages that were not shown, there ought to be more detailed information.

    "We can¡¯t analyze those," the analyst said. "These were the only things we could see. Ergement and optimization won¡¯t give us more. For the remaining details, we can only analyze through deductions and simtions."

    Hou Liang did not hesitate. "Form a research group. This must be solved as soon as possible!"

    "Understood."

    The order was implemented quickly.

    What attracted Chen Feng¡¯s attention was one of the headings with aparatively weird name on it. It appeared extremely conspicuous among all the names on the book¡ªthe incubated project!

    As per the surface information they obtained from the page Chen Feng took a picture of, the incubated was an offshoot product of the dark freaks. They had tried to once again trigger a mutation in the dark energy to create an even stronger freak! As of now, this freak had already been in incubation for three years...

    Chen Feng was startled. "It¡¯s that guy!"

    The target of his purifying mission!

    They had been allowing low-level gene producers and gic warriors in to provide nutrition for that freak.

    This was an experiment! An experiment to find a way to create a stronger freak.

    "We don¡¯t have enough time." Hou Liang looked at Chen Feng with a solemn expression. "Tomorrow, I will take you to the headquarters."

    "All right." Chen Feng understood. They did not need to be too worried about the dark freaks. However, that fellow that wasing out of incubation was an unknown freak!

    Due to the increase of difficulty for this seemingly ordinary purifying mission, Hou Liang had decided to apply at the headquarters for Chen Feng for a special genius to apany Chen Feng on his mission.

    To apply for a genuine warrior!

    "Before that... you need to be stronger!" Hou Liang said.

    Chen Feng nodded. "Understood."

    Set off to the headquarters tomorrow, start increasing his strength, and a monthter, set off to put an end to that freak.

    A clear cut goal.

    Today was the free time given to Chen Feng to make arrangements for his personal affairs.

    In the afternoon, Chen Feng returned to Gold City. Countless people lined up on the streets to wee his return. At the various public squares, almost all the screens were showing Chen Feng. The amount of coverage Chen Feng received here was extremely astonishing. This was now akin to a city of Chen Feng!

    Chen Feng¡¯s lips curled up, forming a smile. "Is this considered as me returning home in glory?"

    At the Gold City branch, after consideration, the people there had decided to hang Chen Feng¡¯s curriculum vitae and information pertaining to him on the wall of the branch!

    From this day onward, a portrait of Chen Feng would be hung in the Gold City¡¯s Gene Production Association.

    As all the portraits were in actuality something yed on a screen, the portraits appeared incredibly lively. Beneath the portraits were also wise sayings of the individual whose portrait was hung. These would serve as encouragement for all producers to work hard. Hence, the Gold City branch had contacted Chen Feng to send them his picture and personal information to be included in the portrait.

    "Portrait?"

    Chen Feng was shocked. He had never expected to receive such treatment. After visiting Uncle Zhang and some of his other neighbors and extending the contract for his rented house, Chen Fengpleted the matter pertaining to his portrait and quietly left Gold City.

    Currently, at the Gold City branch.

    Full of expectations, they hung Chen Feng¡¯s portrait on the wall.

    Shua!

    The scenes on the screen flickered before Chen Feng¡¯s picture appeared.

    On it was Chen Feng¡¯s personal information and aplishments. At a certain column of the portrait, which was also the only section of the whole portrait that was not part of the disy screen, was the section reserved for Chen Feng¡¯s wise words: "Advertisement space for rent."

    "???"

    Everyone had stupefied expressions.

    "The f*ck?"

    Zhang Wei¡¯s expression became unsightly. That bastard!

    Just as he was about to call Chen Feng to give him ashing, some passerby saw the portrait and said in excitement, "It¡¯s Chen Feng¡¯s portrait!"

    "These wise words of his..."

    Everyone felt powerless.

    "I think this is quite fitting. It¡¯s much better than that quote saying something like ¡®4:30 AM in the morning.¡¯ I have been waking up at 4 am everyday for work. Look at where I am, still working my ass off here."

    "True."

    "Perhaps it is this very carefree and humorous manner in which he takes things that makes him the strongest producer he is currently?"

    "Yeah, I am quite sick of all those encouraging wise words. These words of Chen Feng could be considered a peculiar and unique existence among the famous, right? Hahahahaha."

    Everyone started gossiping happily.

    Zhang Wei was dumbstruck at this sight.

    The heck?

    Even with these words you guys cane up with all that?

    What peculiar and unique existence?

    Weirdo should be a more fitting term for him, right?

    Truly...

    Zhang Wei shook his head with a bitter smile on his face. He silently shut down hismunication tool, which he was initially nning to contact Chen Feng with. Perhaps... things were fine the way they were.

    The next day, Chen Feng arrived at the headquarters with Hou Liang.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    Endless lightning descended.

    Purple lightning gleamed without stop in the air, between the sky and earth.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted ferociously.

    He knew that the headquarters would definitely be an unordinary ce. However, he had never imagined that the whole headquarters would be in the sky.

    In the midst of the endless lightning.

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    Hou Liang took Chen Feng across the field of lightning.

    The lightning filled with terrifying power would noiselessly avoid them when they got near. This was the defensive restriction of the headquarters.

    After bypassing all the lightning, a huge city in the sky appeared before their eyes.

    Countless bizarre energy swirled around it, isting every aura from the city.

    The city floated in the sky and clouds and mist curled around beneath it. As Chen Feng stepped into the city with Hou Liang, he found that the interior of the city was actually the same as a normal city.

    Hou Liang¡¯s lips curled up into a smile. "Wee to Star City."

    Some producers were passing by. Every single one of them was emitting a terrifying aura. Among those able to join the headquarters, which of them wasn¡¯t a genius?

    These people were extremely powerful.

    "So powerful!"

    Chen Feng was shaken.

    The whole Star City was filled with a dense recovery aura.

    "Here, the recovery speed is tenfold what it is outside," Hou Liang said faintly.

    What?

    Chen Feng gasped.

    What was the concept of tenfold? It signified that anyone here would at all times be in a condition that was simr to a person outside who had consumed some spiritual recovery reagent. Regardless of how much energy one exhausted here, one would be able to rapidly recover.

    It would be much more efficient for one to increase their strength here.

    Indeed...

    Worthy of being the holynd of producers!

    Currently, in Star City, a huge number of people shifted their gaze toward the entrance. They had all felt Chen Feng¡¯s unfamiliar aura.

    "That child is here."

    "The child that was the champion of the Gene Rookie Competition, the one with an innate, powerful awareness?"

    "That¡¯s right."

    Some found this interesting.

    Here, it was rare for someone to attract the attention of others, as almost everyone here was a genius! Those capable of joining the headquarters were all freakish existences.

    Age and talent, one had to fulfill the requirement for both aspects.

    Some of them had extremely high spiritual affinity.

    Some of them were incredibly quick witted, existences that were almost undefeated.

    Some of them possessed terrifyingly high spiritual recovery rates.

    All these traits were the result of the superior genes of their elders. With these superior genes, some of the offspring of these elders would have certain traits that were different from an ordinary person¡¯s. However, even at a ce like this, no one had ever seen a person with Chen Feng¡¯s talent.

    Awareness, eh?

    Someone muttered, "Seems like things are going to get lively here."

 Chapter 178: This Is Not a Counterfeit Product, Right?

    Chapter 178: This Is Not a Counterfeit Product, Right?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In Star City, Hou Liang introduced the various sections of Star City to familiarize Chen Feng with the city. He also gave Chen Feng some rough information on ways to navigate through the guide screen and coordinates here.

    "Then... you can stroll around by yourself now. I already connected yourmunication tool to headquarters. If you have any problems, you can contact the others at any time. You can also contact the employees in charge here.

    "Oh, right. There¡¯s also your reward. Every producer will receive a reward upon joining headquarters. But yours, though," Hou Liang said profoundly, "it¡¯s something a lot of people yearn for."

    He only took Chen Feng here because he wasing here anyway. Due to the discovery of that mysterious organization, he still had a lot of things to do. After he finished saying what was required, he left.

    Chen Feng did not find this surprising. Almost everyone here, the employees included, were extremely formidable producers. Hence, there were no customer service employees here.

    One could only depend on oneself here.

    However...

    Rewards, eh.

    Those final words of Hou Liang¡¯s greatly attracted Chen Feng.

    At this moment.

    Hum¡ª

    Hismunication tool buzzed.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. It¡¯s here!

    Shua!

    A screen popped out.

    The reward for joining the headquarters was finally here.

    "Ding¡ª"

    In Chen Feng¡¯s personal information window, several new items were added.

    Crescent moon spring x3.

    Ardent tiger spring x1.

    Ordinary D-ss form (1 star, 2 star, or 3 star of the producer¡¯s choosing) x1.

    "What¡¯s this?"

    Chen Feng nked.

    Crescent moon spring?

    Shua!

    A new window popped out on the screen.

    Crescent moon spring: Spring water formed of a powerful gene reagent. A mystical power is contained within. Able to greatly increase a producer¡¯s spiritual energy.

    This was an item that only the Gene Production Association possessed!

    Every single one of them was extremely valuable.

    A lot of high-difficulty missions had this as a reward. For a lot of people, this was something they desired more than a form. It was extremely valuable.

    Under normal circumstances, one would only receive one set of this crescent moon spring when they first joined headquarters.

    If one wanted more, one could only work hard!

    As for Chen Feng, one set was rewarded for joining headquarters. Another set was rewarded for the Xia Yan incident where Chen Feng and Qin Hai had saved everyone. Due to the importance of the pictures he had taken, he had contributed greatly once again, and a third crescent moon spring was rewarded to him.

    Right upon joining, Chen Feng had already obtained three sets of crescent moon spring.

    As for the ardent tiger spring... it was used to increase the quality of one¡¯s physical body.

    Crescent moon spring to increase spiritual energy, ardent tiger spring to increase one¡¯s body quality¡ªstrength, physique, agility. Both of these were treasures of the Gene Production Association.

    Theoretically, one¡¯s spiritual energy would be able to resonate with the ardent tiger spring.

    The higher one¡¯s spiritual energy was, the higher the increase of one¡¯s body quality would be. This served as a solution toward the weak physical body producers normally possessed.

    At the same time, the ardent tiger spring was extremely valuable.

    Comparatively, the third reward, an ordinary D-ss form, was much more mediocre.

    "Don¡¯t worry about the form first." Chen Feng¡¯s eyes lit up. "I should prioritize bing stronger."

    He had been stuck at 250 points for way too long.

    The Gene Rookie Competition was merely apetition in the virtual world. With the virtualpany building¡¯s assistance, one¡¯s proficiency in production would still increase. However, one¡¯s spiritual energy would not increase.

    "It¡¯s about time I increase my attributes."

    Chen Feng was filled with expectation.

    He wanted to have a good look. How much spiritual energy increase could he gain from this so-called crescent moon spring?

    Returning to the room assigned to him, Chen Feng noticed that in every room, a small-scale white transaction conveyer was installed.

    Shua!

    He scanned it with his wristband.

    Hum¡ª

    A bottle of gene reagent appeared.

    This was themonly used transaction conveyer. In cities, only the merchants or those somewhat wealthy individuals could afford one. Here, they were everywhere.

    Chen Feng picked up the gene reagent.

    Shua!

    ----

    Crescent Moon Spring

    Function: Greatly increase one¡¯s spiritual energy

    ss: ???

    ----

    Question marks?

    Chen Feng had a solemn mood.

    This was the first time he had encountered something like this.

    No wonder the descriptions had described the crescent moon spring as something so precious. Probably only those top-notch producers at the level of presidents or vice presidents could produce something like this.

    Crescent moon spring...

    Chen Feng was filled with anticipation.

    Gulp.

    In ordance to the description, Chen Feng gulped it down.

    Bang!

    A boom resounded in his brain.

    Chen Feng felt like the world before his eyes had shattered apart, countless dazzling blue lights radiating and a bone-piercing chillness descending upon him. He had a feeling that he had entered an icy-blue world.

    A mystical spiritual world!

    Currently, a lot of people in the Star City felt this aura.

    "It¡¯s the crescent moon spring."

    "He has indeed started using it."

    "Interesting." Everyone¡¯s mouths curled up into smiles. "So he¡¯s already in the crescent moon¡¯s world? I wonder, how long can this outstandingly talented young friend of oursst in there?"

    Crescent moon spring!

    After consumption, one would enter an independent spiritual world. An illusory mystical world! There, a huge volume of spiritual shockwaves would be used to increase one¡¯s power. If one was properly prepared, one might be able tost longer and have a higher amount of improvement. However, for Chen Feng to enter rashly like this...

    "How long did youst previously?"

    "15 seconds. Only 150 points of spiritual energy," that person replied regretfully.

    For the him at that time, that single crescent moon spring was equivalent to an extremely high amount of riches. Unfortunately, he had not managed to properly grasp that chance he¡¯d had.

    "I onlysted for 20 seconds and gained 200 points of spiritual energy." He had a faint smile on his face. "I heard that this young friend of ours is an expert when ites to breaking records. During the Gene Rookie Competition, he crushed all opposition. I wonder if he can create a new record this time."

    "Quite probable."

    Everyone was filled with anticipation.

    Currently, Chen Feng had descended upon an ice-cold world.

    "Where is this?"

    Chen Feng nked.

    Bang!

    Boundless seawater started gushing toward him.

    From all directions!

    Every single drop of seawater was filled with dense spiritual energy. That bone-piercing icy blue was in actuality highly concentrated spiritual energy. This was an ocean formed of spiritual energy!

    What¡¯s the meaning of this? Using my own body to endure the spiritual shockwave?

    Chen Feng guessed.

    Next...

    Bang!

    He used his body to ept these attacks.

    That very instant.

    Pop!

    His spiritual body shattered.

    He only felt light swirled before his eyes before returning to the real world.

    The end.

    It¡¯s over?

    Chen Feng scratched his head as he looked at his attribute. His 250 points of spirit had increased to 260 points. Time spent: 1 second.

    "It¡¯s only capable of increasing 10 points?"

    Chen Feng was filled with doubt. This was the so-called great increase?

    Could this be a counterfeit product?

    He looked at the empty reagent bottle.

    Vaguely, he remembered a certain beverage advertisement from his previous life. The scene in the advertisement appeared in his head. After drinking the beverage during summer, one would instantly enter an icy-blue world,fortably refreshing and cold.

    Those messy special effects that gave off an ufortable feeling...

    Mizone?[1]

    Chen Feng looked at the empty bottle in his hand as he sunk into contemtion. He had a feeling that something had gone wrong.

    Currently, far away, those that were observing what had happened here were speechless.

    This...

    He had indeed broken a record!

    They had casually mentioned it. Unexpectedly, Chen Feng had truly broken a record. The shortest duration since the crescent moon spring came into existence.

    One second!

    "Isn¡¯t this too fast?"

    Everyone smiled forcefully.

    From their memory up until now, the record for the shortest duration was held by a producer called Li Hao with the nickname Little Li the Rapidfire. Even he was able tost 3 seconds.

    This, this, this...

    Someone recalled something. "Maybe it¡¯s because he¡¯s too young."

    Before they joined this headquarters, most of them had a spiritual energy of around 800 or 900 points. Some of them had even reached D ss.

    As for Chen Feng?

    He only had 250 points of spiritual energy when he¡¯d joined.

    Crescent moon spring. Essentially, it was something that used one¡¯s spiritual energy to form a spiritual body in the world of the crescent moon spring. Using the spiritual body, one would receive a formidable amount of spiritual energy!

    The formed body would be the port used to transmit the spiritual energy to one¡¯s real body!

    Hence, the stronger one¡¯s spiritual body was, the higher the amount of spiritual energy one would be able to ept.

    As for Chen Feng...

    He was too young and his spiritual energy was too weak. Hence, it had copsed instantly. If he mastered some tricks to concentrate his mind and stabilize his spiritual body, he might be able to persevere longer.

    "Seems like the Rapidfire title will be his now."

    The tone of Little Li¡¯s voice when he said this was filled with joy.

    Back then, due to his ignorance, this title had apanied him all these years. He had been ridiculed with this title for way too long. Now that this neer Chen Feng was here, the same mistake had been repeated.

    "Hehe."

    "Little Chen the Rapidfire. Mhm, what a nice name."

    Little Li was in joy.

    "You..."

    Everyone burst outughing.

    However, outside of everyone¡¯s expectation, at this moment, that familiar aura appeared once again.

    "This is..."

    Everyone paused in their steps.

    Crescent moon spring!

    The aura of crescent moon spring again!

    "It¡¯s Chen Feng!"

    With astonishment, everyone sensed that aura. Chen Feng actually had two of them?

    Truly blessed by the heavens!

    Everyone gasped in admiration. Obtaining two crescent moon springs the moment he joined. This meant that he hadpleted a mission even before he joined.

    Incredible!

    They had no choice but to respect this aplishment.

    However...

    "What a waste."

    Little Li¡¯s tone was somewhat solemn.

    If they were aware that Chen Feng had more crescent moon springs, they would definitely have stopped this! A crescent moon spring would only increase 10 points of spiritual energy for the current Chen Feng. Using it in such a manner was simply a waste. One had to know that, after their first crescent moon spring, in order to further increase their spiritual energy, theypleted a countless amount of missions before saving enough achievements to trade for a single crescent moon spring. It was an incredibly hard feat.

    "Yeah."

    Everyone smiled bitterly.

    Since he¡¯d only had a 10 points increase the first time he¡¯d used it, how much could he increase this time?

    Currently.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng had once again entered the icy-blue spiritual world.

    He was already aware of the reason for his previous attempt ending in one second. It was due to his low spiritual energy. This was something he couldn¡¯t change. When he reached D ss, things might improve when he once again used this reagent.

    However...

    Should he really wait till he reached D ss?

    Chen Feng could not ept that!

    He would be going on that purifying mission soon, yet he was still somewhat weak.

    Hence¡ª

    He definitely had to increase his power!

    Spiritual body too weak?

    No problem!

    Changing a pose and trying it one more time!

    As long as he found a suitable method, using his Luck Aura, he might be able to find a way to increase his power!

    "Bang!"

    Boundless icy blue engulfed him from all around.

    Akin to an all-epassing tsunami, the brutal waves of the spirit sea surged forth toward Chen Feng. At this instant, Chen Feng concentrated his mind.

    This is the spiritual world!

    I am a spiritual body!

    Shua!

    Chen Feng sat down cross-legged. This would be the firmest posture.

    Bang!

    The seawater charged toward him.

    One second!

    Bang!

    His spiritual body shattered.

    Light swirled before his eyes as Chen Feng instantly returned to reality.

    It ended!

    One second as well!

    However, this time, a smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s lips. He had found an exploit!

    However, he was not aware of the expressions of pain painted on the faces of all the producers in his vicinity.

    Crescent moon spring!

    That was the crescent moon spring!

    Due to Chen Feng¡¯s stubbornness, such a valuable item was gone just like that!

    "Only 20 points increase after using two."

    Their hearts ached so much they were having difficulty breathing.

    What a waste!

    Too wasteful!

    One had to know.

    Under normal circumstances, it was very normal for one to have an increase ranging from 100 to 200 points of spiritual energy when they first used it. For those with astonishing talent who were also in D ss, they would have an even greater increase.

    This was the crescent moon spring!

    Regardless of whether the user was E or D ss, it was still an extremely valuable item.

    Now...

    Their heart ached.

    "Should we tell him he can¡¯t waste this thing like this?"

    Some sighed.

    "Let it be." Another person shook his head. "The first consumption will normally end up as wastage no matter what. The second bottle he wasted was because nobody expected that he would have a second set. Now, though..."

    "Just let him be happy with this, however short this happiness willst."

    "When he finds out how valuable the crescent moon is, he will naturally feel the grief."

    Everyone was silent.

    Wasn¡¯t this how things had always been?

    Back then, which of them did not grieve when they found out the value of the crescent moon spring? Thorough the years, this had became a tradition that a newbie had to experience.

    This was also something the seniors of the headquarters found amusing to watch.

    "But... what if he has a third one?" Little Li anxiously said.

    Shua!

    Everyone looked at him like they were looking at an idiot.

    A third one?

    What, you think this is mineral water?

    However, it was at this moment that once again a familiar aura emerged.

    !

    Everyone was rmed.

    Again?

    The f*ck?

    Is this for real?

 Chapter 179: Limit Increase!

    Chapter 179: Limit Increase!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Shua!

    That faint aura surrounding Chen Feng shocked everyone.

    Third set!

    Chen Feng actually had a third set of crescent moon spring!

    "How is this possible?"

    Everyone was rmed.

    Chen Feng did not obtain these crescent moon springs by umting his achievements through a long time after joining the headquarters. Instead, all these were rewarded to him upon joining. Hence...

    How much had Chen Feng contributed to the association before he even joined?

    "Isn¡¯t this too excessive?"

    "Obtaining three crescent moon springs the moment he joined."

    Everyone was speechless.

    "What heaven defying contribution did he provide?"

    "I doubt any contribution could earn him so many crescent moon springs. Perhaps he took the president¡¯s daughter as his wife?" someone muttered.

    Everyone: "..."

    However, as they thought of it, this seemed to be more probable. However, after their initial shock, what remained was a feeling of heartache. This third set would probably be wasted again.

    First set, 10 points spiritual energy, one second.

    Second set, 10 points spiritual energy, one second.

    As for this third set...

    He would only be able tost two seconds maximum right?

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, I can¡¯t take it anymore."

    "So three crescent moon springs were wasted right in front of my eyes like this?"

    "Too wasteful!"

    Everyone was copsing emotionally.

    Now, the found out that one¡¯s heart would ache to such an extent just by witnessing the wasteful behavior of others.

    At this time, Chen Feng had once again entering the crescent moon spring¡¯s spiritual world.

    Although he had failed two times, he had now found the way to utilize his Luck Aura here. The amount of spiritual energy he could bear would depend on this current body of his.

    This spiritual body!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Seawater charged toward him from all directions.

    Chen Feng sat down cross-legged. As he sensed the terrifying pressureing toward him, he agreed that for his weak spiritual body that was forged using only 270 points of spiritual energy, this pressure was indeed too terrifying.

    However...

    Seawater!

    Even if it was spiritual seawater!

    Hu.

    Chen Feng shut his eyes. He could feel the endless lively spiritual energy contained in the seawater. The huge amount of spiritual energy that had simted the form of a terrifying spiritual sea.

    If this was aplete simtion, if it¡¯s characteristics were simr to the real world, then...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed with swirling radiance.

    Shua!

    Luck Aura, activate!

    He initially believed that this was an item that would increase a fixed amount of spiritual energy. Hence, he did not intend to waste his luck values. However, since that was not the case...

    He had to fight to obtain spiritual energy increase!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Seawater charged at him from all directions.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes remained shut.

    Hum¡ª

    Luck Aura started working noiselessly. That violent and fierce spiritual sea at this moment became gentle.

    Hua¡ª

    The berserk spiritual sea seemed to have been cated by something and was now tranquil.

    Shua!

    That terrifying seawater calmed down the moment it reached Chen Feng. The iing waves of seawater from different directions around him knocked onto each other just at the right angle and cancelled each other¡¯s force to form a bizarre bnce, turning the violent wave into a gentle flow of water that enveloped Chen Feng.

    At this, Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual energy finally started increasing!

    One second!

    Two seconds!

    Three seconds!

    ...

    Time passed quietly.

    Currently, in Star City, those who had been observing Chen Feng were astonished to find that, this time, Chen Feng hadsted over five seconds, a big improvement from his previous two attempts.

    Learning a lesson from his two previous failures?

    He was indeed quite smart.

    Everyone concentrated.

    "It¡¯s ending soon, right?"

    "I wonder if he canst over 10 seconds."

    "This will have to depend on himself."

    Everyone discussed in low voices.

    Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual energy was his weakness, as it was too weak. One¡¯s spiritual body would be fixed the moment one entered the spiritual world. Regardless of how much one¡¯s spiritual energy increased in the world, the spiritual body would remain the same as before one entered and would not change. Hence, the current spiritual body used by Chen Feng was a spiritual body formed using 270 points of spiritual energy.

    Compared to his previous two attempts, he seemed to have improved.

    Di da!

    Di da!

    They watched as time passed.

    Soon, it exceeded 10 seconds.

    This time around, Chen Feng actually managed tost longer than 10 seconds!

    "This is quite an eptable duration."

    "Finally, he stopped being a wastrel."

    "For that small spiritual body of his, 10 seconds is already not too shabby."

    Smiles appeared on everyone¡¯s faces.

    This had indeed been too difficult.

    This bout of improvement attempts by Chen Feng had ced them in so much anxiety their hearts felt shattered. They almost went forward to tell him to stop wasting.

    "I wonder how long he canst."

    "I suppose it¡¯s about to end soon..."

    "If he canst 20 seconds, then he can be considered to have regained what he wasted during his previous two attempts."

    Everyone was filled with anticipation.

    Fifteen seconds!

    Eighteen seconds!

    Twenty seconds!

    Time passed without stop.

    Chen Feng had easily surpassed their expectations. Currently, he still remained in the same spot. There wasn¡¯t even a frown on his face. Only at this did everyone start having a weird feeling.

    "This guy..."

    "He surpassed 20 seconds so easily?"

    "Is his spiritual body really so powerful?"

    They were having a weird feeling.

    Even if he were to surpass 20 seconds, shouldn¡¯t it be something that happened after incredible hardship? With Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual body, how could he aplish it in such a carefree manner?

    No one knew the answer to that.

    Time was still moving forward without stop.

    Thirty seconds!

    Everyone¡¯s expression changed slightly.

    Forty seconds!

    Their expression became solemn.

    Fifty seconds!

    They could no longer sit tight.

    Sixty seconds!

    They were shocked.

    "This..."

    "Damn, he has now reached a 600 point increase in spiritual energy, right?"

    "Originally 270 points, increase of 600 points, a growth rate of 222%. How is this possible?"

    Everyone was shocked.

    They were all producers! All genius producers!

    Crescent moon spring was what everyone there had experienced before.

    They were aware of how terrifying that spiritual sea was. If one wanted to learn the tricks of getting more spiritual energy out of the crescent moon spring, they would have to learn some spiritual energy controlling skills.

    However...

    222% growth rate?

    It was something almost no one had aplished before!

    There indeed existed people capable of increasing 600 or even more points of spiritual energy. However, all those people were at least D ss with high amount spiritual energy!

    As for Chen Feng?

    His initial spiritual energy was merely 270 points!

    His spiritual body was forged by 270 points of spiritual energy!

    A spiritual body at such a level...

    How was he resisting the spiritual wave?

    No one knew!

    At this time, time continued forward.

    Sixty-one seconds!

    Sixty-two seconds!

    Sixty-three seconds!

    "He¡¯s nearing the limit," a person suddenly said.

    Chen Feng had an initial spiritual energy of 270 points. If he couldst for 73 seconds, he would have an increase of 730 points, reaching the peak of E ss at 1,000 points!

    Reaching the E-ss limit!

    Shua!

    All the producers watched on.

    Breaking through the limit at a single attempt?

    Granted, for these people, E ss was an extremely low level. However, such a manner of improvement was sufficient to rm them!

    Seventy-one seconds!

    Seventy-two seconds!

    Seventy-three seconds!

    "He reached his limit!" someone cried out in rm.

    Up until now, Chen Feng had increased his spiritual energy by 730 points, reaching 1,000 points!

    "So powerful."

    "Truly inconceivable."

    Everyone eximed in admiration.

    On his first day here, Chen Feng had captivated everyone here.

    Two hundred seventy points of initial spiritual energy.

    A 730 point increase!

    A growth rate of 270%!

    A very frightening number.

    Currently, the clock was still ticking. Although his spiritual energy was no longer increasing, Chen Feng still remained in the crescent moon spring, absorbing spiritual energy without stop.

    "He¡¯s still at it."

    "Mhm..."

    "Although his spiritual energy won¡¯t increase anymore, it is a good choice to use it to stabilize his new spiritual energy."

    Everyone nodded their heads.

    The crescent moon spring was not an item that one could use to break through their limit.

    Despite its spiritual world appearing so violent, at its core, it was simply a pure increase of attributes. Hence, its nature was somewhat mild and would not leave any aftereffects for those who used it to increase their spiritual energy. One would be able to improve their attributes in a safe manner, as it provided a stable growth. The only disadvantage of this item was its nature being too mild; hence, it was incapable of breaking through one¡¯s limit.

    That was because a person¡¯s limit had to be broken through by force!

    It was a bottleneck!

    Only by constantly surpassing oneself could one break through!

    As for the crescent moon spring...

    Even if one were to use it when one was already at the limit, one could only stabilize one¡¯s spiritual energy, increasing the quality of one¡¯s spiritual energy, and increasing the strength of one¡¯s spiritual body in digitized worlds.

    Chapter 180: Limit Breakthrough?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "This kid..."

    Everyone¡¯s tones were filled with admiration.

    It was indeed as the rumors had said. This was a kid capable of creating miracles.

    He was only 18 years old!

    Eighty seconds!

    Ny seconds!

    Time pressed on.

    Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual energy was gradually stabilizing.

    The innate mild and stable nature of the crescent moon spring yed a big role here. Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual energy had now be incredibly powerful.

    Currently, almost half the total producers in Star City were rmed.

    They heard that someone had broken the record for the highest growth rate, surpassing the previous record of 200% growth rate left by a certain genius and creating a new record of 245% growth rate!

    "Chen Feng, eh?"

    "Thatpetition champion?"

    A lot of producers in the city shifted their gaze toward the residential area.

    There, the swirling radiance around Chen Feng appeared incredibly dazzling.

    Those high-level producers at the center of the city had noticed this scene as well.

    "Is this the child you had rmended previously?" an old man with bright eyes asked. "Not bad."

    Hou Liang smiled. "With exceptionally good talent and awareness, he is also very intelligent. And the most important point being this child¡¯s ability to create miracles."

    "Is that so?" The old man shifted his gaze toward the direction Chen Feng was at.

    "Of course. Chen Feng is the best choice to deal with the freak that is about toe out of incubation. Below D ss, he is most certainly the most suitable person¡ª"

    However, right at this moment, around Chen Feng¡¯s body, a familiar aura suddenly appeared.

    "This is..."

    Expressions of shock appeared on the faces of countless producers.

    "Shit!"

    Hou Liang¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    That aura...

    Increase!

    That was the aura that would appear when spiritual energy increased!

    Despite not breaking through, the aura surrounding Chen Feng started changing and once again charged upward to increase his attribute.

    Limit!

    He was surpassing his limit!

    Nobody had expected that he could actually break through in the crescent moon spring world!

    "This can¡¯t be right?"

    Everyone¡¯s hearts trembled with shock.

    One could break through using the crescent moon spring?

    This had never happened before!

    Even if the fact that the crescent moon spring¡¯s nature was too gentle was not taken into consideration, regardless of how many times a person had used the crescent moon spring before, that person¡¯s spiritual body would still copse under the never-ending waves of the spiritual sea. This was because the spiritual sea waves would be increasingly violent. The longer onested within, the scarier the spiritual attack one had to endure!

    As for Chen Feng?

    He had been in there for 10 minutes.

    "He won¡¯t really break through, right?"

    Everyone was shaken.

    "Who knows?"

    The rest paid their utmost attention to this. Chen Feng¡¯s actions had truly given a lot of people a shock.

    "That bastard..."

    Hou Liang¡¯s expression was unsightly.

    The mission!

    The purifying mission!

    Those with attributes above 1,000 would not be able to enter!

    If this bastard really broke through here, Hou Liang would really have to look for a new candidate. However, if Chen Feng truly broke through here, it would also serve as proof of his outstanding talent...

    Should he be anticipating Chen Feng¡¯s breakthrough or not?

    An expression of pain was stered all over Hou Liang¡¯s face.

    Eleven minutes!

    Twelve minutes!

    The aura surrounding Chen Feng became even more bizarre.

    Fifteen minutes!

    Twenty minutes!

    The bizarre aura of Chen Feng¡¯s was slowly stabilizing. His bottleneck merely swayed for a bit before once again, it stabilized and was now as stable as a mountain.

    Unshakeable!

    "He had indeed failed."

    "Regardless of how stable his spiritual energy is, it¡¯s still pointless."

    "That¡¯s the limit."

    Everyone understood.

    "Luckily." Hou Liang exhaled in relief. It was all good if Chen Feng failed to break through.

    It was at this moment that someone used a scouting ability to take a look at Chen Feng, only for his expression to end up changing greatly.

    "Look!"

    "What?"

    Everyone instinctively nced at Chen Feng and, simrly, expressions of shock appeared immediately on their faces.

    "???"

    Hou Liang shifted his attention on Chen Feng as well. Immediately, his expression became unsightly.

    This was because, when they scanned Chen Feng using the gene scanner, they found an incredibly astonishing thing. Despite Chen Feng not having broken through his limit, his spiritual energy had still increased!

    Spirit attribute: 1,010 points!

    "???"

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    Everyone had stupefied expressions.

    Without breaking through the limit, the spiritual energy could continue to increase?

    This...

    Even Hou Liang was dumbfounded.

    Hum¡ª

    Light swirled.

    Chen Feng¡¯s aura was changing in a steady pace.

    One thousand ten points!

    One thousand twenty points!

    One thousand thirty points!

    Increase!

    It was still increasing!

    Despite not having broken through, despite still being stuck at E ss, Chen Feng¡¯s power was still increasing unceasingly. Under the crescent moon spring¡¯s effect, his spiritual energy was increasing rapidly.

    The crescent moon spring was capable of this do this?

    No one had been aware of this!

    This was because nobody had ever aplished something like what Chen Feng had, to be able to take a shower in the increasingly terrifying crescent moon spring¡¯s world. That¡¯s right. Chen Feng was simply taking a shower!

    That never-ending spiritual sea wave was giving him a sensation akin to taking a shower.

    One thousand three hundred points!

    One thousand four hundred points!

    One thousand five hundred points!

    His spiritual energy finally stopped increasing.

    Luck Aura stopped its operation. This signified that Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual energy and the quality of his spiritual energy had reached his current limit. Hence, the Luck Aura was no longer effective and had automatically stopped.

    Shua!

    Luck Aura deactivated.

    The gentle seawater around him once again became violent.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng was instantly submerged.

    Shua!

    Light swirled, he returned to reality.

    Chen Feng quivered as he was startled awake. As he took at look at his attribute, he was shocked as well. He was aware that the crescent moon spring would definitely not help him break through his limit. This was why he had been absorbing the spiritual energy without inhibition.

    However, he had never expected that, even without breaking through his limit, his spiritual energy could still increase!

    One thousand five hundred points?

    Chen Feng inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    Trouble!

    Would Old Man Hou tear him apart?

    Currently, all the producers in Star City were rmed.

    If it was 270% growth, fine, they could ept that. A record was meant to be surpassed anyway. It was very normal for records to be surpassed here. However...

    Increasing 1,230 points of spiritual energy?

    A 456% growth rate?

    Wasn¡¯t this too excessive?

    He had exceeded the supposed limit of E ss!

    "So the crescent moon spring has such an effect?"

    Everyone nked.

    Since its first creation, this item had been treated as a priceless treasure. No one had ever used a crescent moon spring in such a manner. No one had ever stayed in the spiritual sea for such a long time either.

    "Too astonishing!"

    "Immediately start research on the crescent moon spring. If it truly possesses such a function..."

    Countless producers were feeling joyful.

    They were aware that if the crescent moon spring was truly capable of helping someone exceed the presently theorized limit of 1,000 points...

    Its value would increase!

    Naturally, the premise to achieve the same effect was for someone to be able to remain in the spiritual sea long enough.

    Currently, at the center of Star City, Old Man Hou had a stupefied expression.

    What was this?

    One thousand five hundred points of spiritual energy yet not breaking through the limit? Under such circumstance, could he still participate in the purifying mission?

    Who knows?

    The so-called maximum attribute allowed to enter was deduced after several peak E-ss warriors entered it sessfully. The maximum attribute of 1,000 points was deduced because a peak E-ss warrior would only have a maximum attribute of 1,000 points. As for someone who had yet to enter D ss yet having attributes surpassing 1,000 points...

    They had never considered this!

    "F*ck!" Hou Liang couldn¡¯t help himself and cursed.

    Wait.

    They were not entirely without a solution.

    Hou Liang suddenly recalled something and looked at the old man in red clothes beside him.

    Hou Liang rubbed his hands. "Old Zhu... hehe... that gene reagent of yours..."

    "Scram!" Old Zhu did not hesitate to reject.

    Hou Liang did not feel any shame. "For everyone¡¯s good, please sacrifice for once."

    "Scram!"

    "A mere purifying mission. You can just get a different candidate for it," Old Zhu rebuked angrily.

    "You are really not lending it? Old Zhu... can¡¯t you think it over?" Hou Liang was all smiles as he dragged Old Zhu to one side as both his hands quietly stretched toward Old Zhu.

    "You dare to act against me?" Old Zhu rebuked angrily. "Damn it, you are tantly robbing me!"

    After a short moment, Hou Liang walked out the room in a carefree manner with a bottle of gene reagent in his hand.

    As for the Old Zhu left in the room, his clothes were in a mess, and he was so angry even his beard was trembling. This asshole! It has been so many years, why is he still so shameless! How can you snatch it directly?

 Chapter 181: Peril Rebirth!

    Chapter 181: Peril Rebirth!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Star City. Everyone was still immersed in their shock.

    Chen Feng¡¯s act of reaching 1,500 points of spiritual energy had indeed rmed everyone!

    This was no longer a problem concerning growth rate. Rather, the concern was someone exceeding the theorized limit by 500 points. This was what everyone was paying attention to.

    "Chen Feng..."

    Countless people silently remembered this name despite the fact that they had never met him in person.

    Currently, in his room, Chen Feng was getting used to his new power obtained from the rapid growth in his spiritual energy. His spiritual energy had increased greatly, so he had to adapt to it as soon as possible.

    Suddenly, someone knocked on his door. Chen Feng opened the door. It was Hou Liang.

    Hou Liang red at him ferociously. "Kid, the only thing you know is to court trouble!"

    "Cough cough." Chen Feng coughed and said seriously without a change in expression, "I did exactly what you requested of me, to increase my strength as much as I can."

    "Yes, but I never told you to surpass 1,000 points of attribute!" Hou Liang said grudgingly. "Do you still want to take on this mission?!"

    "That¡¯spletely an ident!" Chen Fengughed awkwardly. He had never expected that this single session of improvement of his had pushed him above the limit required for one to ept the mission. This was getting awkward.

    Hou Liang handed over a bottle of gene reagent to him. "Take this."

    "This is..."

    Chen Feng epted it. After taking a look, his eyes lit up.

    ----

    Lingerbright Beast Gene Reagent

    Function: Lowering the spiritual energy by 500 points and increasing the agility, strength and physique by 200 points each.

    Duration: 10 hours

    ----

    "A good thing!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    This was a peculiar gene reagent. Despite the low increase in attributes and the somewhat weak effect it had, the advantage of this gene reagent was its long duration!

    Approximately 10 hours!

    If he were to use it during the mission...

    "Such a thing exists?"

    Chen Feng gasped in admiration.

    He had initially thought that he would miss this mission. Now, though, there was still a way to fix this.

    Wait.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng felt that something was amiss.

    If such a thing existed, any random advanced producer with attribute in the 1,000s would be able to take on the mission, right? Moreover, an advanced producer should have a richer experiencepared to Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng voiced his concern.

    "Simple. First, we have very few advanced producers with 1,000¨C1,500 spiritual energy. Second, even if they were to reduce their attribute and drop back into E ss with a 1,000 or lower attribute, theirbat power would be too weak. Hence, they won¡¯t be able to achieve much. Third, the producer that produced this gene reagent is somewhat stingy. Fourth, using such a method to reduce one¡¯s attribute, one might not be able to reverse its effect."

    Hou Liang had a solemn expression.

    Unable to reverse?

    Chen Feng had a solemn mood.

    In other words, if a newly advanced D ss were to use it, they might be stuck in E ss forever. This was indeed quite a scary prospect.

    "So I¡¯m still the candidate for this mission?" Chen Feng asked cautiously.

    "Naturally." Hou Liang red at him ferociously. "When I told you to increase your strength, I wasn¡¯t telling you to go and cause me trouble. Instead, you needed to increase your strength as much as you could within the limit required for you to still be qualified for the mission. Do you understand?"

    "Yes," Chen Feng answered.

    After walking several steps forward, Hou Liang turned around again, as he was still worried, and said earnestly, "Chen Feng, this is your home now. Home, do you understand? This is not apetition. This is not an exam. Hence, there¡¯s no need for you to go around breaking records for fame. Do you understand?"

    Chen Feng nodded. "Understood."

    "Then... stop causing trouble. All right?" Hou Liang was deeply worried.

    "I won¡¯t," Chen Feng pledged. "What happened this time was an ident anyway."

    It truly was an ident!

    God knows why he had suddenly increased his attribute to 1,500 without breaking through the limit?

    "That¡¯s good, then." After obtaining Chen Feng¡¯s promise, Hou Liang staredly stare at him before leaving.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Do I look like a troublemaker?

    However, unaware to him, currently, everyone in the city already knew about him!

    This was the Gene Production Association¡¯s headquarters. Naturally, all the producers here could at all times detect changes in the aura of the area. With the uproar Chen Feng had caused, how could they not have noticed it?

    Only having arrived a day ago, yet Chen Feng was already known to all.

    Chen Feng sighed. "I really was merely trying to increase my strength."

    He shook his head and stopped thinking about all this as he shifted his attention to the other item¡ªardent tiger spring.

    A mystical gene reagent, capable of increasing the quality of one¡¯s body.

    Gulp.

    Chen Feng gulped it down.

    All his attributes except spirit increased by 100 points.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng punched at the air.

    A vigorous punch.

    Such items capable of increasing the quality of one¡¯s body could only be found here. ording to the introduction, it was a special version for producers that was produced after reducing the pain one might suffer during the process of attribute increase.

    Worthy of being the headquarters indeed.

    Hu¡ª

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply as he once again familiarized himself with his new strength.

    Hisbat power had increased greatly.

    Strength, agility, physique, spirit, all his attributes were increased.

    "This is still not enough."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were sharp as lighting.

    All along, he had always been clear on his goal.

    To increase his strength!

    Completing the purifying mission. Next, trade for a bunch of D-ss fusion gene reagent forms!

    This was his true goal!

    Things like genes...

    Chen Feng had his own research on them.

    If a score was to be assigned to each fusion gene reagent used after each ss advancement, it was very probable for the finalbat power to be equivalent to the superposition of the power of all fusion gene reagents one used at each ss!

    As long as a single one of the fusion gene reagents was somewhat weak, the person¡¯s overall strength would be greatly reduced.

    Since he wanted to break through, the strongest fusion gene reagent had to be used!

    And out of the whole world, this was the only ce where all those strongest fusion gene reagents could be found.

    Only here could one find the strongest form!

    Only here could one find the mostplete gene bank!

    He wanted to, from the huge amount of avable forms here, choose a form with the highest difficulty, the strongest, rarest, and most suitable form for him, to create a strongest gene for himself!

    "Increase my strength as quickly as possible. Complete the purifying mission before breaking through to D ss!"

    Chen Feng was aware of his goal.

    Despite the fact that his strength had now increased, for him, it was still far from enough.

    He had only epted the mission to obtain more resources instead of epting the mission to throw his life away. Even if the association would dispatch some geniuses to help him, Chen Feng would definitely not trust others with his life.

    "In this month¡¯s period, I must be stronger!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were sharp as lighting.

    Now that he was done with increasing his attribute, he shifted his attention to the final reward he had received. It was not the D-ss form rewarded to him. Instead, his attention was on the reward for his producer certification. The reward received after his producer certification.

    As a producer of the headquarters, the reward he received would be much more generous.

    Beginner producer certification: Any F-ss form x1 as a reward (thundersnake gene form was chosen).

    Intermediate producer certification: One copy of "Spiritual Energy Usage Skills, from Well Practiced to Proficient" (uncollected).

    Advanced producer certification: One copy of "Five Years of Digitized Construction and Three Years of Digital Battle" (uncollected).

    Master producer certification: One set of gene armament known as "Peril Rebirth" (uncollected).

    ...

    "That is..."

    As Chen Feng looked at the reward for the master certification, his heart started burning.

    He was aware that the headquarters would provide a much better reward to their producerspared to a normal branch. However, he had never expected the reward to be so generous!

    Peril Rebirth!

    This was an extremely powerful gene armament also known as "Phoenix¡¯s Nirvana!"

    On the market... this gene armament was simply priceless!

    Chapter 182: The Crazy Goal

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Peril Rebirth!

    A one-time-use gene armament.

    When used, a seed would be nted within one¡¯s body. When one encountered any fatality, the seed would erupt and, in an instant, unleash a formidable power to put an end to one¡¯s opponent.

    At the same time...

    One¡¯s stamina, state of mind, and injuries would all be fully recovered!

    In an instant, recovering to one¡¯s peak condition.

    This was what Peril Rebirth was!

    "Such a thing..."

    A small med was ignited in Chen Feng¡¯s heart.

    This was a gene armament assembled from 12 sets of 4-star and 5-star D-ss gene reagents. Normally, only master producers could produce these.

    Valuable and rare!

    As for advanced producers?

    Even if the form for all the 12 required gene reagents was provided, how long would it take that producer to master it?

    Rather than spending time on these, that advanced producer might as well use the time to try breaking through to master gene producer.

    By the time one was able to master a huge amount of D-ss gene forms, reaching the point where these required gene reagents could be easily produced, one would be near the level of master gene producer anyway.

    Hence...

    The usual minimum requirement to use the Peril Rebirth was master gene producer.

    Only a powerful master gene producer with solid umtion and a solid background would possess Peril Rebirth, which was equivalent to a second life!

    It would be etched into one¡¯s body, serving as an extremely powerful trump card for a producer!

    When he was previously increasing his knowledge on gene armaments, he had been stunned the first time he¡¯d seen Peril Rebirth. Now he was only one step away from this gene armament.

    "Peril Rebirth..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone brightly.

    He was enticed.

    In this world, countless types of gene abilities in all sorts of forms existed. Even with his Luck Aura, even with his high vignce, he was still not able to guarantee absolute safety to himself.

    Hence...

    This was an item that he had to get his hands on.

    Master producer, eh?

    Chen Feng started pondering the probability of him getting this gene armament.

    ss certification. This was a process all producers had to go through. Chen Feng had once gone through a certification at the Gold City branch. It was a simple process. He had only needed to produce three sets of the lumberbear gene. However, the certification at the headquarters would be somewhat different.

    They would provide a specially prepared form for certifications.

    One whopleted the production sessfully would pass the certification.

    The certification form requirement for beginner producers: 1-star F ss

    The certification form requirements for intermediate producers: 1-star E ss, 100 points of spiritual energy

    The certification form requirements for advanced producers: 1-star D ss, 1,000 points of spiritual energy

    The certification form requirements for master producers: 1-star C ss, 10,000 points of spiritual energy

    ...

    "C ss..."

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly.

    Indeed. Would it be too far-fetched for him to set his present goal to bing a master producer?

    On his current official identifications, only 20-star beginner producer was recorded. His true ability, though, even after pushing to his limits, would only be an intermediate producer. As for a master producer? It was simply a whole different level.

    Even passing the advanced producer certification would be quite difficult for the present him.

    Chen Feng sank into contemtion.

    With his 1,500 points of spiritual energy, he met the minimum requirement to be an advanced producer. However, if he were to depend solely on himself to produce a 1-star D-ss gene reagent, it would still be somewhat difficult.

    The rate of failure would be too high.

    However, if he were to activate his Luck Aura, the advanced producer certification would be simple to get.

    As for master producer certification?

    He had zero chances of seeding.

    He did not even meet the minimum spiritual energy requirement for it.

    More urately...

    His current spiritual energy was one figure away from reaching the required spiritual energy.

    "Forget it."

    Chen Feng shook his head.

    For now, he should avoid biting off more than he could chew.

    "When my spiritual energy meets the requirement, I will definitely get you in my hands!"

    Chen Feng clenched his fists.

    This gene armament was something he had to obtain.

    Shutting the certification interface down, Chen Feng decided to first im the ordinary D-ss form that was rewarded to him. Although it was merely an ordinary form between 1 star and 3 stars, it was still nevertheless the first D-ss form of his.

    Shua!

    He opened the gene bank.

    "ess scanning... identity confirmed..."

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    Silhouettes of countless gene reagents appeared before his eyes.

    These were all D-ss gene reagents!

    Below the illusory image of each gene reagent was the introduction and detailed data for these gene reagents. Whichever gene reagent one picked, all the information would be directly transmitted to one¡¯s wristband.

    "Let me see."

    Chen Feng was somewhat excited.

    Attack...

    Defense...

    Support...

    Every single one of these D-ss gene reagents was extremely powerful, even if they were merely a 1-star D-ss form!

    "Powerful," Chen Feng eximed in admiration.

    Since he had the chance to choose a form, he naturally needed to make his choice with his uing mission on mind. Since purification forms would be provided for free, Chen Feng¡¯s choice should prioritize a self-defense form. After all, only by staying alive could heplete the assigned mission.

    "Filter..."

    Chen Feng started flipping through the gene bank. Just as he was prepared to search for self-defense genes, he nked.

    This was because he had at this moment seen a peculiar D-ss gene form. A form that would be useless in increasing one¡¯sbat power yet possessed quite a unique effect when used.

    "The gene bank is indeed all-embracing in the type of forms it contains," Chen Feng eximed in admiration. This was because this gene reagent¡¯s effect was: Reduce target form¡¯s requirement by 5%.

    Reducing requirement?

    Such a gene reagent exists?

    What¡¯s the theory behind it?

    Chen Feng took a look. When using the gene reagent, a spiritual barrier would be formed. Within the barrier, one¡¯s spiritual energy would be livelier, as one would be able to absorb the energy from their environment to make up for what wascking. With this, the minimum spiritual energy requirements for one to be able to produce the gene reagents specified by the form would be reduced.

    "Is this the theory behind it?" Chen Feng contemted.

    If it really worked this way...

    Shua!

    Chen Feng hastily filtered his options.

    All requirement-reduction forms were filtered out.

    Shortly after.

    Several dozens forms appeared. All of them were requirement-reduction forms. Among them, the form with the highest reduction had a requirement reduction of 50%.

    Unfortunately, that was a 5-star form.

    Among the 3-star D-ss forms, the best of them only possessed a requirement reduction of 30%.

    "Thirty percent..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    Shua!

    He entered the virtualmunity.

    Market filter!

    He directly filtered out all the requirement-reduction gene reagents in the business district. All sorts of gene reagents appeared, ranging from 10% reduction to 30% reduction. However, no higher reduction could be found.

    Indeed...

    Gene reagents with 4 or 5 stars were rare products. Coupled with the fact that these forms had low profit margins, the amount of producers willing to produce these were quite low.

    "Seems like I can only produce them myself."

    Once again, Chen Feng opened the gene bank and locked onto his chosen gene reagent.

    Purchase!

    Shua!

    Gene form received.

    ----

    Turtlefungi Gene Form

    Difficulty: 3 stars

    Type: Special

    Function: Reduces spiritual energy requirement of forms by 20¨C30%

    Duration: 120 seconds

    Introduction: Produced using the extracted blood essence of turtlefungi. All sorts of materials are required to stimte the mysterious power contained within the turtlefungi¡¯s blood essence to create a special gene reagent.

    ----

    Granted, on the market, forms with 30% reduction were avable. However, Chen Feng believed that, when he produced it, he would be able to produce one with a better effect.

    If it were to mutate...

    And used at the same time as some other gene reagents capable of increasing his spiritual energy for a certain duration...

    Chen Feng was excited.

    If everything progressed as he expected, he might truly be able to pass the master producer¡¯s certification once to get that gene armament.

    There was hope!

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze became burning hot.

    Wasn¡¯t it a mere 10,000 points of spiritual energy?

    I shall put it all on the line!

    He put his thoughts into action and decisively started his grind to pass the master producer¡¯s certification.

    First step.

    Produce a mutated turtlefungi gene form.

    The minimum requirement for this form was 1,200 points of spiritual energy. For Chen Feng with 1,500 points of spiritual energy, this did not pose him any problems.

    Reading the data.

    Studying.

    Choosing the materials.

    Purchase.

    At the headquarters, everything was much more convenientpared to when he had been at his home.

    Soon, Chen Feng had prepared everything and started his production. Due to his high spiritual energy, his production progressed much smoothly than his expectations.

    After 30 minutes, hepleted his production.

    ----

    Mutated Turtlefungi Gene Reagent

    Type: Special

    Function: Reduces spiritual energy requirement of forms by 40%

    Duration: 120 seconds

    ----

    It reached 40%!

    Chen Feng was excited.

    This meant that only 6,000 points of spiritual energy were required. The rest of the required spiritual energy would be absorbed from the environment by this gene reagent.

    Would this be sufficient?

    This was far from sufficient.

    Chen Feng¡¯s second step was to improve this form!

    One could also say that...

    He was performing optimization on this form!

    With theplexity of this form, there ought to be some ces where improvement was possible!

    Chen Feng believed that, under the super-powerful effect of his Luck Aura, even if the probability of improvement was only one among multiple billions of seeding, he would be able to sessfully transform this form into something that was much better, even at the cost of exhausting a huge amount of luck value.

    "Come."

    After resting for three days, when his saved luck value went over 100 points, he began.

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    With both his eyes shut, Chen Feng entered the hyper-dimensional mode.

    Surrounding him were the required gene reagents and huge amount of materials. Anything that might be required had all been prepared by him. His sess or failure would depend on his current actions.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Both his hands fluttered around rapidly.

    Gene search,pleted.

    Gene fusion,pleted.

    Gene reaction,pleted.

    For Chen Feng, who was already well practiced in this, improving a form wasn¡¯t too difficult. His luck value was dropping rapidly and stopped when he only had 50 points remaining.

    Production sessful!

    ----

    Mutated Turtlefungi Gene Reagent

    Type: Special

    Function: Reducing spiritual energy requirement of forms by 50%

    Duration: 120 seconds

    ----

    "It reached 50%!"

    Chen Feng was excited.

    Indeed, the form had been sessfully improved!

    He counted the remaining materials in the room and found that the amount of required materials was onefold higher than the original form.

    "5,000 points of spiritual energy requirement!"

    Chen Feng clenched his fists.

    He was now one step closer to passing the master producer¡¯s certification.

    Then...

    Third step, increasing his base spirit attribute!

    His spirit had now stabilized at 1,500 points. If he wanted to further increase it, it was nearly impossible. However, if he were to only increase it for a duration of time...

    It wouldn¡¯t be a problem!

    There were way too many gene reagents out there capable of increasing spiritual energy for a certain amount of time!

    For example¡ª

    Bluebat gene reagent!

    Chapter 183: A Step Away!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    ----

    Mutated Bluebat Gene

    ss: E

    Function: Instantly increases spirit by 500 points for a duration of 3 seconds.

    ----

    This was a gene reagent Chen Feng had once used during thepetition. A 5-star E-ss gene with a powerful effect. However, if one were to overuse it, one would immediately suffer brain death.

    During thepetition, Chen Feng had used this gene reagent to crush his opponents, since the user of this gene reagent would be an android.

    In reality, though?

    This wouldn¡¯t work.

    Based on Chen Feng¡¯s research, when one chose to temporarily increase one¡¯s spiritual energy, it was best to maintain the increase within a range of 100%. Only with this would one avoid suffering any damage.

    In other words, Chen Feng would be able to have a maximum temporary increase of 1,500 points. With this, his original attribute of 1,500 points, coupled with the additional 1,500 points, he would have a total of 3,000 points, only 2,000 points away from his target.

    "What if I were to use three bluebat gene reagents at the same time?"

    Chen Feng thought about it but ultimately shook his head.

    Not worth it.

    Using three at the same time wouldn¡¯t be the main problem. The main problem would be the short duration of three seconds.

    He could indeed continue using another three bluebat gene reagents right after the three seconds duration was over to prolong it. However, if he were to do that, he would be wasting an average of one bluebat gene reagent per second.

    To produce a C-ss gene reagent, even if his Luck Aura were fully activated, he still required 100 seconds toplete the production. Hence, he would require a total of 100 mutated bluebat gene reagents!

    A hundred of them!

    To be safe, he might even need to prepare more of them!

    This was a 5-star E-ss form! Something that Chen Feng would not be able toplete with his basic skills unless he were to use Luck Aura. The huge amount of materials and luck value it would potentially require...

    "Simply a huge pit."

    Chen Feng immediately rejected this idea.

    Were there any other options?

    Chen Feng pondered. Suddenly, he recalled a certain form: earthworm¡¯s body gene reagent, a 3-star F-ss form that instantly increased spiritual energy by 30 points for a duration of 200 seconds.

    This was quite an unremarkable gene reagent. Its ss and requirements were lower and it wasn¡¯t a particrly useful gene reagent as well. However, if the earthworm¡¯s body gene reagent was used to link the F-ss gene reagents together, it might be able to unleash an unimaginable power.

    ----

    Mutated Earthworm¡¯s Body Gene

    ss: F

    Function: Using earthworm gene as the core, able to link multiple same F-ss gene reagents together, enabling the reagents to disy better effects.

    ----

    "What a perfect match."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    The crucial point of using such abination of gene reagents would be the fact that he would not need to waste his luck values.

    Shua!

    One, five, 10...

    With a huge amount of low-level gene reagents, Chen Feng started his tests. Based on his results, around 30 low-level gene reagents could be linked together to give a temporary increase of 1,500 points to his spiritual energy. The duration would be 200 seconds.

    "Done."

    Chen Feng spent three whole days toplete his production.

    Up until now.

    Chen Feng already had 3,000 points of temporary spiritual energy increase secured. On top of that, he would also be able to reduce the requirements by around 5,000 points.

    "I¡¯m nearly there."

    Chen Feng¡¯s emotions surged.

    Fourth step, increasing the efficiency of his spiritual energy.

    Not reaching the spiritual energy requirement?

    No problem!

    If he couldn¡¯t meet the quantity, he could make up for it with the quality!

    If one point of his spiritual energy was as effective as two points of the spiritual energy of others, did this not mean that he had used a roundabout method of meeting the requirements?

    This was what Chen Feng aimed for.

    Naturally, this was merely a vision of his.

    Would other troubles apany this quality increase of his spiritual energy?

    What was the difference between the different methods of improving spiritual energy quality? Which would be suitable for gene production? Which would be suitable forbat? Which would be ipatible with requirement-reduction gene reagents?

    All these would require a huge amount of tests to determine.

    "Let¡¯s begin then."

    Chen Feng was exhrated.

    Increasing the power...

    Increasing the effect...

    Increasing the quality...

    Increasing its concentration...

    Chen Feng started conducting a huge amount of tests on F-ss gene reagents.

    Some of these gene reagents would conflict with other gene reagents, some would conflict with requirement-reduction gene reagents, etc. Chen Feng spent approximately seven days to find the suitable gene form.

    Mutated Cuttlefish Gene Form

    Difficulty: 5 stars

    ss: E

    Function: Temporary increase of spiritual energy¡¯s effectiveness by 80%.

    Duration: 150 seconds

    Introduction: Produced using extracted cuttlefish beast¡¯s gene reagent. All sorts of materials were required to stimte the mysterious power contained within the cuttlefish¡¯s genes, producing a special gene reagent as a result.

    ----

    Eighty percent for 150 seconds.

    Perfect!

    Eighty percent of 3,000 spiritual energy would be 2,400 points!

    In other words.

    After using his prepared gene reagents, Chen Feng would have a temporary spiritual energy equivalent to 5,400 points. With his turtlefungi gene reagent, he surpassed the required 10,000 spiritual energy for the master gene producer certification!

    "I meet the requirements!"

    Chen Feng was excited. It was a pity that, after this cuttlefish gene reagent mutated, its duration was what increased. Otherwise, Chen Feng believed that he would be even more powerful.

    Now...

    He was merely one step away from passing the master producer¡¯s certification.

    "It¡¯s time to go get certified."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone brightly.

    He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

    **

    Star City.

    Thirteen days had passed since Chen Feng¡¯s crescent moon spring incident. These days, Star City had recovered its original tranquility.

    "How is that thing progressing?"

    Hou Liang wasmunicating with someone from the Gic Union.

    "It¡¯s still in incubation. Presently, there are no signs that it¡¯s breaking out of its cocoon," his counterpart replied with a steady voice. "It will be simr to our estimations. Anything that might happen will only happen half a monthter. That will be the time when everything will begin."

    "That¡¯s good, then." Hou Liang had a solemn expression. "Continue updating me with the situation there at all times."

    "Understood."

    Receiving his reply, Hou Liang ended the call.

    The present situation of that thing in incubation did not exceed their estimations. If everything progressed smoothly, in half a month, only when the incubated broke out of its cocoon would be the time where Chen Feng was required.

    Hou Liang had a concentrated gaze. "Hopefully nothing goes wrong. How is Chen Feng doing these two days?" He looked at his assistant.

    "Oh." The assistant clearly nked momentarily before replying, "He hasn¡¯t left his room for days. He had been busy producing gene reagents."

    "That¡¯s good, then."

    Satisfied with the answer, Hou Liang nodded his head.

    This was what he liked about Chen Feng. Regardless of his talent or his background, Chen Feng was never discouraged and always worked hard. The amount of hard work he put in far surpassed a lot of people out there.

    Suddenly.

    The assistant¡¯s wristband buzzed.

    He looked at it and his expression became weird, "It seems like Chen Feng ising here for certification."

    "Certification?" Hou Liang pondered before nodding slightly. "True, it is indeed time for him to get certified. Well, go and prepare the intermediate producer¡¯s certification reward for him in advance then."

    "Understood."

    The assistant nodded.

    "Wait." Hou Liang thought about it. "Prepare the reward for advanced producer certification as well."

    The assistant clearly nked momentarily. "Ah?"

    Advanced producer?

    This...

    Wasn¡¯t Chen Feng a mere beginner producer during thepetition? Even if he were incredibly talented, he would not be able to skip the intermediate producer level and be an advanced producer immediately, right?

    "Nothing bad will arise from being prepared," Hou Liang said grudgingly. "Just in case this kid starts causing trouble again."

    "True." The assistant thought about it and immediately got someone to prepare it.

    Hou Liang had a grudging look in his eyes. As he looked at the certification center beside him, he felt a tinge of anticipation. "I wonder if this kid will have the courage to charge straight to bing an advanced producer?"

    At this time.

    Chen Feng started his registration at the entrance.

    "Please select your level of certification."

    "Intermediate producer!"

    "Please wait a moment."

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    One 1-star E-ss gene reagent form was sent into Chen Feng¡¯s wristband. Around him, the materials required for this form were all ready.

    This was the certification form.

    "Let me take a look first."

    Chen Feng epted the data of the form.

    A huge amount of information emerged. Fortunately, arge amount of the contents were something that Chen Feng hade across before among the other E-ss forms that he had studied. Hence, he was able to memorize the contents of this form in a short time.

    "Let¡¯s begin, then."

    Gene production began.

    After five minutes, Chen Fengpleted his production.

    Despite not using his Luck Aura, this was still extremely easy for him.

    This proved that the ability possessed by Chen Feng had far surpassed the level of a newbie, reaching the level equivalent to a high-level intermediate producer.

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "Seems like my studies all this while have not been for nothing."

    "Congrattions. Certification passed, the reward will be released."

    Shua!

    A valuable book was transmitted to Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng smiled calmly and said without the slightest hesitation, "I want to continue the certification."

    "Please select your level of certification."

    "Advanced producer," Chen Feng said calmly.

    "Please wait a moment," the ice-cold voice of the system replied.

    Some of the people around him paused their steps. Chen Feng was nning to charge into advanced producer? They all knew who this kid who had caused an incident on his first day here was.

    "Advanced producer..."

    A lot of people shifted their gazes here.

    With Chen Feng¡¯s age, if he were to pass his advanced producer certifications, it would be something joyous for the association as well.

    Soon, the certification began.

    This time, it was a 1-star D-ss form, the certification form for an advanced producer.

    After two minutes.

    Shua!

    Productionplete.

    "An 18-year-old advanced producer," a person with a pair of bright eyes said. "This kid¡¯s talent is extremely astonishing!"

    "I saw thising the moment he defeated Qin Hai."

    Some smiled at this.

    True.

    Everyone shook their heads as theyughed at themselves.

    Wasn¡¯t that true? Qin Hai himself was an advanced producer and also a D-ss gic warrior. Didn¡¯t he end up defeated by Chen Feng anyway? Hence, it was not surprising for Chen Feng to pass his advanced producer certification.

    Everything was as they expected.

    "Seems like we need to start working hard," one of them smiled as he said, "or else we might end up surpassed by him."

    True.

    Everyone nodded their heads.

    With the inclusion of a genius here, they were all motivated to work harder.

    However, at this very moment.

    The expression of one of the producers there changed greatly. "He is..."

    What?

    Instinctively, everyone turned around and was immediately shocked. That was because, currently, Chen Feng had not left. Instead, he had started the third certification for the day.

    Master producer certification!

 Chapter 184: Master Producer!

    Chapter 184: Master Producer!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Master producer¡¯s certification!

    Lowest requirement being 10,000 points of spiritual energy!

    An amount of spiritual energy that was only traditionally reachable by those in peak D or C ss. Under normal circumstances, even those in peak D-ss would only meet the minimum requirements. If one wanted to produce sessfully by only meeting the minimum requirements? It would be difficult!

    Hence, it slowly becamemon sense that if one wanted to advance into master producer, one must first be at C ss.

    As for Chen Feng?

    Merely peak E ss!

    Even if his spiritual energy surpassed an ordinary person, it was only 1,500 points! Attempting the master producer certification with only 1,500 points of spiritual energy?

    Had he gone insane?

    A well-known producer frowned. "He is acting somewhat reckless this time."

    All this while, although they thought that Chen Feng was a bit of a show-off when he handled things, they still approved of him. Now, though, they were wondering if this child was now too excessive in his attempt to show off.

    Presently, he only had 1,500 points of spiritual energy!

    Master producer¡¯s certification?

    Apart from seeking sensationalism, what was the point in attempting this certification?

    Arge majority of producers still essentially prefer a low-profile and steady manner of handling things. Chen Feng¡¯s impetuous methods had attracted some resentment from some producers.

    "With this little ability of his, he¡¯s showing off too much, right?" a well-endowed female producer said as she pouted.

    Herpanion smiled. "Ha Li, don¡¯t be too harsh on a newbie. Since he dares to attempt it, he should have his methods for it. When you first joined two years ago, I don¡¯t recall you having the courage to do this."

    "This kind of courage, what do I need it for? Isn¡¯t it merely spiritual energy requirement reduction? Who doesn¡¯t know about that? If there¡¯s only a small difference to make up, it should work. But with the current 1,500 points of spiritual energy he has? Who is he trying to delude?" Ha Li snorted and said in an annoyed manner, "Every time one attempts a production certification, a huge amount of testing materials will be wasted. If one attempts the certification without confidence in passing, it¡¯s merely an act of wasting resources!"

    At this moment, Chen Feng had already started his master producer¡¯s certification.

    He was very clear on what everyone was currently thinking about. He was also very clear on what light his current actions had put him in.

    Even in his previous life, when someone applied for college entrance examinations before even graduating from junior high school, it would be reported by some media outlets and end up online where countless parties would start berating the person in question. In this world, things would be simr. He had long ustomed himself to this.

    Just because someone had 1,500 points of spiritual energy, one wouldn¡¯t make it? Just because one was in E ss, one would fail?

    How ridiculous!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed.

    Shua!

    Form data read!

    Gene production began!

    Firstly, Chen Feng familiarized himself with the certification form. Next, he prepared all the required materials ordingly and ced them all around him before starting his production.

    First step.

    Consuming the mutated turtlefungi gene reagent.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint light started glowing before forming a bizarre glowing haze formed of spiritual energy around Chen Feng. This was the effect of the turtlefungi gene reagent.

    Reducing spiritual energy requirement of forms by 50% for 120 seconds.

    The initial requirement of 10,000 points for this form had now been reduced to 5,000 points.

    Second step.

    Consuming temporary spiritual energy increase reagent.

    After consuming all the of gene reagents that he had linked together with the F-ss earthworm¡¯s body gene reagent, his spiritual energy had temporarily increased by onefold, reaching 3,000 points for a duration of 200 seconds.

    Third step.

    Consuming the mutated cuttlefish gene reagent.

    The effectiveness of his spiritual energy had temporarily increased by 80% for a duration of 150 seconds.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Before Chen Feng¡¯s eyes, the blood essence that originally appeared ordinary suddenly started glinting.

    Shua!

    Light swirled and Chen Feng entered the digitized mode.

    "It entered!"

    Chen Feng was in cloud nine.

    His spiritual energy had met the requirement!

    After using all sorts of support gene reagents, he had finally reached the standard required for the production of C-ss forms!

    However, despite his spiritual energy reaching the standard, he did not dare to ck.

    He knew that he only had 120 seconds.

    If he were to take one extra second...

    He would immediately fail his production!

    "Let¡¯s begin, then."

    Chen Feng shut his eyes.

    Bang!

    Luck Aura fully activated.

    At this moment, all the producers in Star City were looking at this in shock.

    A moment ago, they had still been criticizing Chen Feng for seeking sensationalism. The next moment, Chen Feng had forcefully activated his digitized world and started his gene production.

    "How is this possible?" The female producer called Ha Li opened her eyes wide. "He clearly only had 1,500 points..."

    "See." Herpanion smiled. "There are ways to do it after all."

    "Turtlefungi, unknown assembly of spiritual energy increasing reagents, cuttlefish..."

    Some noticed the gene reagents used by Chen Feng. Even so, they still failed to understand how Chen Feng had met the requirement for the form!

    This was too farfetched!

    To pass the producer certifications, they had long researched all sorts of avable methods to make passing easier. Even gene forms at the higher levels had been researched to look for something that could help someone pass certification.

    However... they had never found a gene reagent that was sufficient to help one ovee the requirement!

    "Perhaps this is his gic ability?" someone said.

    "Maybe."

    The rest nodded.

    If gene reagents were used together with a gic ability, it would be possible. However, this was merely hitting the lowest requirement for C-ss forms. As for sessfully producing it?

    It was nearly impossible, even if the form used for the test was very weak!

    "I only seeded after my master production level reached 3 stars."

    "Same here."

    "Different from you both, I seeded when my master production level was at 1 star. However, I still used a huge amount of support gene reagents to increase the sess rate. For Chen Feng to attempt it in such a manner..."

    Everyone shook their heads.

    Support gene reagent?

    Everyone was capable of using these.

    However, the higher the amount of such gene reagents used, the bigger the conflicts between different gene reagents would be. As such, the amount of support gene reagents one could use in this situation was essentially limited.

    Hence... they tried as best as they could to fill the limited slots of support gene reagents they could use with gene reagents that could increase production sess rates in order to guarantee at least one time of sessful production during their master producer¡¯s certification.

    And now, Chen Feng had filled his slots of usable support gene reagents reagents with spiritual energy requirement-reduction gene reagents. Even If he managed to meet the requirement forcefully this way, he would not be able to sessfullyplete his production.

    Everyone agreed to this fact.

    "Well, it¡¯s still a good thing for him to have a taste of what it¡¯s like." Ha Li patted the peaks on her chest that were worthy of pride as she coldly said, "The moment he reached Star City, he was so high profile. It¡¯s about time for him to learn the real gap between him and a true master producer. Even if he meets the spiritual energy requirement, a C-ss form is not something that can be produced so easily."

    Genius?

    Who in this city wasn¡¯t a genius?

    "You, girl..." Herpanion merely shook her head as sheughed.

    Thispanion of hers was simrly someone who had entered headquarters due to her outstanding talent. However, she had failed two master producer certifications in a row recently, so she was somewhat filled with a grudge at the moment.

    However...

    One had to know that, in this world, some people who were naturally capable of creating miracles existed.

    "Chen Feng..." she muttered this name. She wanted to see, this newbie here, what height could his miracles reach?

    Shua!

    Data swirled around rapidly.

    Chen Feng started producing quickly with his fully activated Luck Aura.

    The form data that was unimaginably hard were assembled with a rapid speed. A lot of the data he received was something that Chen Feng couldn¡¯t even understand. However, he merely pointed with his finger randomly...

    And subsequently, he would be sessful!

    This was the power of his Luck Aura. As long as the problem was something caused by probability, it was no longer a problem.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Light swirled without stop around Chen Feng.

    Thirty seconds: First step, gene searchpleted.

    Eighty seconds: Second step, gene reactionpleted.

    One hundred eighten seconds: Third step, gene fusionpleted.

    Final step...

    Sealing the produced gene!

    Two seconds left!

    Without hesitation, Chen Feng used his spiritual energy to move the liquid into the prepared bottle.

    Productionplete!

    Time consumed: 119 seconds!

    Chen Feng exhaled in relief. "I did it."

    Despite that sealing the produced reagent into the bottle wasn¡¯t ssified as a gene production step, Chen Feng was sure that the moment his 120-second duration was over, with his spiritual energy, he would not be able to even seal the bottle up!

    Fortunately, he had managed toplete it in time.

    "Was I sessful?"

    Chen Feng was overwhelmed by emotions.

    This was the first C-ss gene reagent he had produced!

    "Applying for authentication!"

    Chen Feng was filled with anticipation.

    Hum¡ª

    The system started scanning.

    "Ding! Data scan over. Based on the scan results, you have passed the certification."

    Hua!

    The whole of Star City was in an uproar.

    Master producer?

    Chen Feng?

    He had sessfully passed the certification?

    What joke was this?

    That glorious title had been sessfully obtained by this Chen Feng that was still in E ss with only 1,500 points of spiritual energy?

    God knows how many producers at 10,000 points and above of spiritual energy were out there still working hard to pass the certification.

    That was the master producer certification!

    That also signified...

    The Peril Rebirth gene armament!

    Bang!

    All the gene producers in Star City were rmed.

    Even the producers who initially weren¡¯t bothered about this incident were greatly shocked after Chen Feng¡¯s sess. That was because Chen Feng had, once again, broken a record¡ªminimum requirement to pass the master producer¡¯s certification!

    "How is that possible?!" Ha Li was copsing. He had passed?

    This guy with merely 1,500 points of spiritual energy had passed?!

    One had to know that she had 11,000 points of spiritual energy! In order to break through to be a master producer, she had prepared for it many times yet still failed!

    How had this happened?

    How was this possible?

    Herpanion merely smiled thoughtfully. "Perhaps it¡¯s time you reduce your gaming hours at night."

    At the center of Star City.

    "This kid..."

    Hou Liang did not know whether he shouldugh or cry. He had originally believed that, since this guy had remained low profile for 10 days, he would stop causing trouble. Unexpectedly, the moment this kid left his room, he once again caused an incident!

    Such a major incident at that!

    Master producer Chen Feng?

    When he thought of this new title, he found it amusing.

    "That..." his assistant said suddenly, "the certification center said that a lot of people are protesting there. They believe that Chen Feng is not qualified to hold the title of a master producer... His rewards..."

    "Release the rewards to him." Hou Liang sneered. "Whoever has the guts to reduce the reward, I dare him to try!"

    "But..."

    The assistant was perspiring all over.

    "Chen Feng has sessfully passed the certification based on the set rules. Who dares to deny that? Not only do we need to release his rewards to him. We should even give him the highest of honors!" Hou Liang smiled as he said, "It has been way too long since these fellows made their names. They are feeling toocent nowadays. Only when a stronger genius appears will their will to fight be stimted. Now... a genius has finally arrived."

    On that day itself, amidst the protests, Star City awarded Chen Feng his master producer¡¯s badge. This caused an uproar as the news of this award was intentionally sent to all producers.

    A record had once again been broken!

    Chen Feng became Star City¡¯s...

    No.

    He became the whole world¡¯s youngest master producer... at the young age of 18!

    Chapter 185: It¡¯s You? The Scammer?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Gene armament acquired!

    Chen Feng¡¯s emotions surged.

    This was the first gene armament he had obtained. Moreover, it was the Peril Rebirth that was only normally possessed by powerful master producers. With this, he had gained something that was equivalent to a second life.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    A huge amount of data started flooding into his wristband. All the form rewards were sent to Chen Feng. This was also the first time Chen Feng had a good look at the data pertaining to this gene armament in it¡¯s entirety.

    Peril Rebirth, a gene armament assembled from 12 rare D-ss forms. Among these 12 forms, five of them were 5-star forms and seven of them were 4-star forms. When used in the prescribed order, the power of the gene armament could be disyed.

    The usage of this gene armament was limited to only the producer himself.

    "Producer himself?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted.

    He finally understood the reason why this gene armament couldn¡¯t be bought through the market. He also finally understood why was this something only master producers were qualified to have. That was because this item was an item that only its producer could use.

    "Is this due to the effect of one of its required gene reagents?" Chen Feng guessed.

    There were a lot of better gene reagents that possessed high usage limitations.

    Peril Rebirth was obviously one of these.

    Currently, there were still 17 days till the end of this one-month period he had. His current umted luck values: 200 points.

    "It¡¯s enough."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were as sharp as lighting.

    D-ss forms would not pose much of a problem to him. As long as he had sufficient materials, he would be able to produce them all in a single day. This city he was currently in was also the ce with the mostplete warehouse the whole world had to offer.

    Purchase, purchase, and purchase!

    Chen Feng started a furious shopping spree.

    Naturally, although he would sell a mutated gold ant gene every few days, there would still be periods where hecked funds. Hence, after thinking about it, Chen Feng decided to directly produce a huge amount of mutated gold ant gene reagents.

    With this, the business in his The Strongest Gene shop also reached a peak period.

    In a single day, all his gene reagents were sold out, temporarily freeing Chen Feng from problems rted to funds.

    Purchasing materials!

    Gene productions!

    Besides that, he also took the chance to study the valuable guide books he had received rewards: ¡®Spiritual Energy Usage Skills, from Well Practiced to Proficient¡¯ and ¡®Five Years of Digitized Construction and Three Years of Digital Battle.¡¯

    One of them taught him about the usage of spiritual energy while the other taught him about digital battling methods.

    Both of these were also the knowledge he presentlycked most.

    Chen Feng started consuming knowledge hungrily.

    As for purification?

    Chen Feng was not quite worried about this.

    This was an important missionbeled as a ¡®world threat,¡¯ so all the required purification gene reagents for this mission would be provided by higher-level producers.

    Chen Feng merely needed to concentrate on what he was tasked with: destroying the incubated being and defending himself!

    The reason for that was simple.

    The moment the incubated being was destroyed, the barrier restricting entry of those in higher levels would naturally be gone.

    At that time, the experts from that organization would definitely appear. The reinforcements from the Gic Union and Gene Production Association would appear as well. A chaotic battle would definitely break out there.

    As the person at the center of the soon-to-be battleground, Chen Feng had to withdraw immediately.

    During the waiting period, Hou Liang came over several times to talk to him about the course of the mission.

    1. Entering the Extreme d.

    2. Destroying the incubated being.

    3. Leaving immediately.

    4. Reinforcements from both sides will appear, and a chaotic battle will break out.

    Naturally, the moment hepleted the first three steps, the fourth step would have nothing to do with Chen Feng.

    "Remember, the moment youplete the mission, you must withdraw immediately!" Hou Liang repeated this countless times.

    He was aware of how dangerous this mission was. If everything progressed ording to their n, there naturally wouldn¡¯t be any problems. What he was most afraid of was the appearance of variables in the middle of the mission.

    It was very probable that this variable would be something that originated from that mysterious organization.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "Is it so serious?"

    "Of course. In our original mission n, the incubated being was treated as a natural urrence. But now, it is very probable for that mysterious organization to make their move as well," Hou Liang said with a deep tone. "Naturally, corresponding to the mission¡¯s difficulty, we will increase the rewards. The higher the difficulty, the better the rewards. We have never deprived our people of their fair share."

    Chen Feng nodded slightly. "Understood."

    An example would be the Xia Yan incident. Initially, he was not supposed to have received any rewards. However, due to a change in circumstance and the increased difficulty of what he encountered during the mission, the association had rewarded him two sets of crescent moon spring. From this, their generosity was apparent.

    Chen Feng¡¯s lips curled up, forming a smile. "I am now looking forward to them making their move."

    The higher the risk, the higher the return. I am truly... looking forward to it.

    Time passed silently.

    The one-month period ended quickly. Based on the reports from the scouts, the incubated being was about to be birthed soon.

    "For this mission, the Gic Union will deal with the enemies you meet on the way. You only need to follow along with them, look for the incubated being, and then..." Hou Liang¡¯s eyes were ice-cold.

    Chen Feng nodded slightly. "Understood."

    After finding the target, he would need to toss out a huge amount of purifying gene reagents to weaken the incubated being. At its weakest moment, he only needed to drag it into the digitized world before killing it on the spot. This was Chen Feng¡¯s mission.

    "Let¡¯s go." Hou Liang personally escorted Chen Feng to the d. This was where the nearest Gic Union camp to the Extreme d was located.

    "Remember to be careful," Hou Liang told him.

    "Don¡¯t worry." Chen Feng smiled. "With Peril Rebirth, nothing will happen to me."

    "You kid..." Hou Liang burst outughing.

    Thinking about it, he agreed. Even if Chen Feng couldn¡¯t produce Peril Rebirth sessfully, the 12 required D-ss forms for it were in themselves rare forms. Among these forms, 10 of them were forms used for self-defense. As long as he managed to produce one or two of them, Chen Feng¡¯s survivability would increase by quite arge amount.

    As for sessfully producing the gene armament? He never considered that. This was a gene armament assembled through 12 rare D-ss forms! Even a master producer would require several months of research to sessfully produce all of them.

    Seventeen days?

    Simply impossible.

    Regardless of how talented Chen Feng was, he would still require time for all this.

    Currently, the people from Gic Union had arrived as well.

    Chen Feng raised his head and nked immediately. He had once tried to guess the identity of the strongest E ss that the Gic Union would send for this mission. However, he had never expected the person to be someone he knew.

    "Hehe, long time no see."

    Wang Chun¡¯s face was all smiles.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Why was it this guy?

    Strongest E ss?

    Chen Feng stared doubtfully at that thin physique of Wang Chun¡¯s. This was not an ordinary mission. This was a purifying mission! Could Wang Chun really protect him?

    What joke was this?

    Chen Feng was expressionless. "How did you end up as the strongest E ss of the Gic Union?"

    "With a couple swings from Shen Wei, all my opponents were defeated." Wang Chun was feeling proud.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He has been cheating way too excessively, right?

    Hou Liang was surprised. "You know each other?" Geniuses indeed got along together.

    Wang Chun patted Chen Feng¡¯s shoulder. "We are good brothers that have even slept together."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    "That¡¯s good, then," Hou Liang said, smiling. "I don¡¯t have to worry now that you know each other."

    "Please trust our professionalism." The person in charge sent by the Gic Union proudly said, "Apart from Wang Chun, we are also sending out a huge amount of shadow warriors. This should guarantee the sess of this mission."

    Shadow warriors?

    Chen Feng felt somewhat doubtful.

    "Nuo." Wang Chun pointed.

    Hum¡ª

    In the air, a faint shadow shed.

    It was at this moment that Chen Feng found with shock that he had been surrounded by at least 10 shadows. Every single one of them was emitting a terrifying aura from their body.

    Shadow warriors!

    Gic ability: Shadow Transformation. A product of a certain assassination association.

    After joint research by the Gic Union and Gene Production Association, a unique warrior known as a shadow warrior was created. It would be used to protect important members of their organizations, a bodyguard hidden in darkness.

    No one knew how many of them were around.

    No one knew what other abilities they had.

    These people were extremely terrifying.

    It was apparent that the Gic Union had put a lot in this mission.

    Shua!

    All the shadow warriors vanished instantly.

    They had once again concealed themselves.

    Chen Feng had a solemn mood. If these shadows were here to assassinate him, could he avoid their attack?

    Simply impossible!

    "Seems like I need to be even more careful now," Chen Feng said inwardly.

    Granted, the reason he had not detected them was due to theck of killing intent or any intent of threat directed toward him by these people. However, it was never reliable to rely purely on killing intent or intent of threat. What if the opponents were capable of concealing their killing intent and intent of threat?

    Hence¡ª

    He had to be more cautious!

    As Hou Liang saw Chen Feng¡¯s performance, he nodded slightly.

    In the city, Chen Feng was the king of troublemakers. The way he handled things was extremely high profile and absolutely unrestrained, not caring about how others viewed him. This was a source of headache for others around him.

    But here in the wilderness, he would be extremely careful, making thorough preparations for everything.

    Incredibly cautious!

    This was what a true producer was like!

    Ding!

    Mission time started recording.

    Chen Feng and Wang Chun entered the Extreme d under escort of Hou Liang and the rest.

    Gulp.

    Chen Feng consumed the lingerbright beast gene reagent.

    His spiritual energy was decreased by 500 points while the rest of his attributes were increased by 200 points respectively.

    Hum¡ª

    The instant they entered.

    A silent agreement was formed. Hou Liang and the rest paused their steps. This was the because of the restriction that was restricting the entry of those with higher attribute points.

    It began!

    Chen Feng was in a solemn mood.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Shen Wei and Shen Yi appeared noiselessly.

    "It¡¯s been a while." Shen Yi looked at Chen Feng joyfully while Shen Wei merely nodded her head.

    "It¡¯s been a while," Chen Feng replied with a smile.

    Wang Chun couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes.

    Damn!

    This guy was so indifferent toward him yet so intimate with the Shen Yi siblings.

    "That¡¯s a no-brainer." Chen Feng was too tired to even berate him. "With you here, it is very probable that I am the one that will end up protecting you instead!"

    What joke was this?

    Despite Shen Wei¡¯s strength, it did not refute the fact that Wang Chun by himself was baggage!

    With this guy here...

    The identity of protector might swap between them.

    Letting a gene producer protect a gic warrior?

    Mhm...

    How excellent. How powerful!

    "Cough cough." Wang Chun smiled awkwardly. "We don¡¯t have to be too bothered with these small details. As long as weplete the mission, it will do."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    So this guy was also here for the generous rewards.

    "Aren¡¯t you afraid that you will truly die here?" Chen Feng grudgingly said.

    "Initially, I was not nning toe. After all, this mission is very dangerous. However, when I heard that the person requiring protection was called Chen Feng, I made up my mind. I had toe here to protect you! We are good brothers that have tided through death together, ughtered enemies together, and slept together! I will never allow you to take a risk alone!" Wang Chun spoke with justice.

    My ass! Where¡¯s your face?

    Chen Feng felt like giving him a kick.

    This guy was clearly here to hop on a free ride to get the mission rewards!

    Shen Yiughed cutely beside them as she watched the banter between Chen Feng and Wang Chun. Her eyes never stopped scanning their surroundings, though. She was fully concentrated on their surroundings.

    Suddenly, her tiny head stopped its movement as she looked forward. "Something ising!"

    Shua!

    A shadow shed in the darkness.

    A mutated beast with bloodshot eyes was killed before it even got near them.

    Surprise attack?

    Ridiculous.

    This was the Extreme d!

    Even if Chen Feng¡¯s group was conversing, they were still maintaining the highest vignce.

    "It¡¯s not the enemy?"

    Chen Feng was somewhat surprised.

    He had initially believed that their enemy would be the one appearing.

    However.

    Right this moment.

    Pu!

    A corpse dropped down loudly in front of Chen Feng¡¯s group, giving them a scare. However, as they took a clear look at the corpse, their expressions changed greatly!

    That was a dead shadow warrior!

    Chapter 186: Terrifying Gic Ability!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "How is this possible..."

    Their expressions changed greatly.

    Dead?

    Shadow warrior?

    They weren¡¯t even able to see how it had happened.

    Shua!

    Wang Chun reacted quickly. An energy barrier was erected noiselessly. Regardless of the method their enemy was using to attack, erecting an energy barrier would be the correct move.

    Wang Chun had a calm expression. "Shen Yi, inspect."

    "Understood." Shen Yi started inspecting the corpse. To avoid any probable poison infection, she was extremely cautious.

    However...

    After a single nce, Shen Yi¡¯s expression became somewhat odd.

    "What¡¯s up?" Chen Feng asked.

    Shen Yi was somewhat dazed. "Hard to say."

    "???"

    Everyone was confused.

    Hard to say?

    "I think it¡¯d be better if you all looked at it yourselves."

    Shen Yi hid behind Wang Chun.

    Is it that weird?

    With a solemn mood, Chen Feng approached the corpse and scanned it with his wristband. A set of information appeared in his wristband. At this, Chen Feng¡¯s expression became somewhat odd as well.

    This...

    Wang Chun nced at it and was stupefied as well. Such a gic ability existed?

    That¡¯s right. This shadow warrior was killed by a mystical gic ability.

    Not a physical or spiritual attack. Instead, a special mode of attack.

    To be more urate...

    It couldn¡¯t even be considered an attack. This was because this was a gic ability that could keep someone awake, a gic ability that was ssified as a trash ability by the Gic Union.

    ----

    Nerve Stimtion

    Function: Through a special method of spiritual energy usage, stimte one¡¯s mental state, causing one to remain in an excited condition.

    ----

    This was an ability that was useless in battles. Normally, it would be used in hospitals or by the masses to stay awake.

    It was even rumored that there were some wealthy people who had producers with this ability in their payroll in order to increase their quality of life, maintaining constant happiness and excitement in their life.

    Unexpectedly, someone had now used it for battle!

    Right in front of them, this peak E-ss shadow warrior whosebat power was off the charts was killed by this very ability. That expression of high due to stimtion before his death was still preserved on his face.

    Inyman¡¯s terms, this person here was dead due to overexcitement.

    His nervous system was too excited, causing him to be overstimted and end up dead.

    Everyone sunk into silence.

    Even the other shadow warriors were dumbstruck.

    Overexcited to death?

    What damnable death was this?

    "In the future, I won¡¯t dare use the phrase ¡®so damnfortable¡¯ anymore," Wang Chun said grudgingly.

    Before their eyes was the true form of someone who had been damned byfort.

    "Seems like our enemy has appeared..." Chen Feng said in a low voice.

    Their first enemy had appeared!

    A gic warrior possessing a unique gic ability from that mysterious organization!

    Chen Feng had a solemn gaze. "We need to be more cautious."

    Nervous system?

    What was that exactly?

    Different from a normal method of attack, such a peculiar gic ability was the scariest thing and also the hardest to guard against. If they had no ways of defending against this attack, they would probably all end up dead before they even reached the incubated being.

    "Can¡¯t figure it out."

    Everyone shook their heads.

    Such a bizarre method of attack was something none of them knew about.

    "Nervous stimtion..." Chen Feng said with deep voice.

    No one knew how this attack wasunched. Hence, they couldn¡¯t even mount any defensive measures against it. However, if it was something rted to spiritual energy...

    "The stronger one¡¯s spiritual energy is, the more resistant one should be against this ability. Since our enemy can appear in this space, his spiritual energy is definitely not above 1,000 points as well. Hence, we might be able to resist it using items that can temporarily increase our spiritual energy," Chen Feng analyzed.

    "Understood."

    Everyone contemted.

    "As for those with too weak a spiritual energy," Chen Feng said in low voice, "you should all leave first."

    These words were directed toward those shadow warriors.

    Arge majority of shadow warriors majored in agility or strength attributes. Even if theirbat power was off the charts, against such unique circumstances, they couldn¡¯t do much and would definitely die.

    "Sorry."

    Half the shadow warriors sighed before leaving.

    "It doesn¡¯t matter." Chen Feng smiled. "Let¡¯s continue."

    The group advanced again.

    During their advance, that personunched several attacks as well.

    However, in this group, where the average spiritual energy was 800 points, these attacks couldn¡¯t do much. The shadow warrior that was hit by the attack merely lost his ability to move temporarily. After several seconds, the shadow warrior recovered to his previous state.

    One time.

    Two times.

    Three failed attacks in a row!

    Instead, these stimtion attacks caused the shadow warriors to be extremely high with an expression of extremefort on their faces. Unexpectedly, theirbat power even increased greatly due to the stimtion.

    This was the disadvantage of this ability.

    If it failed to work, it might work against the user instead!

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Wang Chun: "..."

    How should they review this ability?

    Mhm...

    Too niche an ability instead.

    No wonder the Gic Union hadbeled it a trash ability.

    Even when several abilities with simr types of effect were ovepped together, even if it¡¯s effect was greatly increased, against an enemy with formidable spiritual energy, it would still be rendered useless.

    "It¡¯s still better to be careful," Chen Feng told them.

    Their opponent was also someone in peak E ss like all of them.

    This signified that their opponent would have, at the very least, two gic abilities. There was also a possibility that their opponent might possess a secret art. Their opponent¡¯s ability might be way stronger than they imagined.

    Everyone nodded slightly. "Understood."

    Hu¡ª

    The wind was bone chilling.

    In this Extreme d, the deeper they entered, the colder it became. For Chen Feng¡¯s group who had always stayed in an area with prolonged summer, this was totally a trial for them. They still needed to be cautious against the hidden enemy as well.

    "Did you find him?" Wang Chun asked in a low voice.

    "Soon," Shen Yi said. "One more attack from him and I will be able to lock onto his position."

    "All right."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    An enemy who attacked in such a method was someone who would be hard to detect but would possess extremely weak meleebat capabilities. The moment the enemy was located...

    Suddenly.

    The blowing wind around them sounded off.

    Here ites!

    Chen Feng had a solemn mood.

    Surprising everyone, this time, the enemy did not choose aparatively weaker shadow warrior as his attack target. Rather, the opponent had selected the core member of this mission, the one with the strongest spiritual energy, Chen Feng!

    Hum¡ª

    A terrifying sh of light.

    The spiritual energy of their enemy that would only appear as a glimmer earlier, at the moment it faced Chen Feng, transformed into a formidable beam that one could see with their naked eyes.

    "Not good."

    Wang Chun¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    Increased Effectiveness!

    This guy¡¯s second gic ability was actually Increased Effectiveness!

    That ability that was initially an ability that was not particrly formidable and was merely a somewhat bizarre ability, at this moment, erupted with an astonishing might, bombarding toward Chen Feng!

    The enemy was attempting to behead the group!

    He wanted to directly eliminate Chen Feng!

    "Careful."

    A shadow warrior blocked in front of Chen Feng.

    However, that beam of light phased through his body without causing any damage and instead noiselessly arrived in front Chen Feng. This was a locked-on attack!

    Normal defensive methods would be ineffective against it!

    Bang!

    An explosion of light.

    Mental stimtion was released straight into Chen Feng¡¯s brain.

    "Something¡¯s going to happen!"

    Everyone¡¯s expressions changed greatly.

    Too hateful!

    This was merely the start of their mission! The first enemy they encountered!

    The shadow warriors¡¯ had expressions of guilt on their faces. Their conventional guarding methods were rendered ineffective before this mysterious organization! Their methods were simply useless here!

    They were too clear on the scariness of that mental stimtion. If it was in its normal form, fine. However, this improved version...

    Xiu!

    That beam of light descended into Chen Feng¡¯s brain.

    "Failed to block?"

    Chen Feng had a solemn mood.

    He had never expected this mental stimting attack was something that would lock onto one¡¯s spiritual energy!

    "Locking onto spiritual energy?"

    Chen Feng started thinking rapidly.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around.

    That wave of light started its charge toward Chen Feng¡¯s mind. The moment it connected with Chen Feng¡¯s nervous system, the stimtion would begin and Chen Feng might end up dead immediately.

    He would fail to block it. Chen Feng was clear that his 1,000 points of spiritual energy was absolutely insufficient to block this attack.

    What should he do?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted madly.

    He did not expect to face a death crisis so soon after he entered this Extreme d.

    Overexcited to death?

    No way!

    Chen Feng clenched his teeth.

    This attacking method...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were sharp as lighting.

    Shua!

    His brain was operating at its maximum speed.

    Only by determining the way in which this skill attacked could he deal with it!

    Spiritual lock on...

    It would only stop when it met something that was simrly in spiritual form?

    No.

    If that was the case, any random attack that collided with the light beam would be able to trigger its immediate activation. Chen Feng had tried using his Wind des against the light beam, yet it had been ineffective. Hence, this was not a mere spiritual lock on. There should be another method for this attack to determine its target of attack¡ªperhaps it was life force!

    Only life force was something it could use to determine its target!

    Spiritual form, life force...

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression became weird. If that was the case...

 Chapter 187: Overexcited Mode!

    Chapter 187: Overexcited Mode!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    A form with a makeup identical to spiritual energy with signs of life!

    It was a mode reachable by Xiao Ying as well!

    Xiao Ying, Chen Feng urged inwardly.

    Shua!

    With a sh of red, Xiao Ying blocked in front of Chen Feng¡¯s nervous system.

    Bang!

    That beam of light entered Xiao Ying¡¯s body.

    Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

    Is it over?

    Chen Feng had a solemn mood. Their opponent was an assassin specializing in killing through nervous system stimtion. If the focus of his research was the nervous system of a human, Xiao Ying, as a different species, wouldn¡¯t be too damaged by that attack.

    Perhaps it might even be ineffective against Xiao Ying.

    Currently, the beam of light disappeared.

    "Seems like there¡¯s no problem."

    Chen Feng exhaled in relief.

    However, in that instant, Chen Feng found that the bright red eyes of Xiao Ying were blooming with an even more intense red glow.

    This is...

    Xiao Ying, go out!

    Chen Feng muttered inwardly that something bad was going to happen.

    Shua!

    Instantly, he sent Xiao Ying out.

    At that moment, Xiao Ying transformed into a sh of terrifying red light as it raged and started shooting everywhere.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Two mountains around them were pierced through.

    "His¡ª"

    Everyone inhaled a mouthful of cold breath. What damnable thing was that?

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    Xiao Ying transformed into a red sh that flickered everywhere. At the Extreme d, one mountain after another copsed.

    The powerful Xiao Ying with its unique body makeup had, under this unique stimtion, started raging. No one knew what was going to result from this.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Another mountain crumbled down.

    "Ao¡ª"

    A mutated beast was startled awake. Yet before it even found its enemy, it was instantly pierced through.

    Dead!

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    Red sh.

    With Chen Feng as the center of its activity radius, the red sh streaked around, leaving countless perfect curves on the air with an extremely fast speed, constantly expanding the radius of its movements.

    All the mutated beasts around them were killed.

    Everywhere the red sh passed, not a single thing was left alive.

    Even those towering ice mountains would not escape the fate of crumbling down if they happened to be in the way of the red sh.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Earth trembled.

    Distantly, somewhere exceeding the range one could see with their naked eyes, several silhouettes appeared suddenly. They were escaping in a wretched manner.

    "It¡¯s them!" With a single nce, Shen Yi recognized them. It was the person who had been utilizing the spiritual stimtion attack and his servants.

    Shen Wei was filled with killing intent. "Go!"

    However...

    Pu!

    With a red sh, one of them copsed noiselessly.

    "Ah, ah, ah..."

    "What freak is this?!"

    "Don¡¯t kill me, ah, ah, ah, ah..."

    One mournful scream after another started resounding.

    However, they were useless.

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    With every sh of red, one of them would copse.

    Out of the whole group of them, in less than three seconds, nine of them were killed. That sole surviving gic warrior was staring at that red sh, despair stered on his face. What damnable thing was this?!

    Naturally, he would not realize that this was the result of his very own actions.

    Pu!

    With a sh of red, he copsed forever.

    Currently, the red sh continued its berserking.

    After a long time, when the red sh disappeared, when Xiao Ying finally returned to Chen Feng, the whole Extreme d sunk into a deathly silence. In an area with a circumference of 5 km around them, all living beings were extinguished.

    Only the area in Chen Feng¡¯s vicinity was left untouched, akin to a holynd amidst the carnage.

    Wang Chun gulped. "Is it over?"

    Chen Feng nodded. "Mhm."

    Chen Feng checked his consciousness and found that the usually perfectly straight red line had turnedid and weak after venting out all its energy. Currently, Xiao Ying was a curved line that was slumped down weakly in his constructed spiritual space.

    This guy...

    Chen Feng did not know whether he shouldugh or cry.

    So when an illusionary snake was in a state of euphoria, this was how it would react?

    Too vigorous!

    Could this be considered a mental illness?[1]

    He had initially thought that Xiao Ying was only good for eating genes. Unexpectedly...

    This guy was much terrifying than he had imagined.

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "Let¡¯s go."

    This time around, when the shadow warriors looked at Chen Feng, their gazes were filled with reverence. That scene they had witnessed earlier would be deeply etched in the depths of their hearts.

    They were not aware of the existence of an illusionary snake.

    In their eyes, the only thing they had witnessed was Chen Feng, safe and sound after having his nervous system stimted before casually shooting a red sh out of his hand to destroy everything within 5 km.

    So, Chen Feng was actually so powerful!

    So...

    A gene producer could be so terrifying as well!

    The group set forth once again.

    Their journey was peaceful this time around.

    As every living being within 5 km had been cleared, even those from the mysterious organization did not dare to approach this area. Chen Feng¡¯s group was able to smoothly travel forth, entering the depths of the region.

    "We need to be more careful," Chen Feng advised.

    He refused to believe that the mysterious organization would give up and allow them to approach the incubated being.

    "Understood."

    Everyone nodded their heads slightly.

    Shua!

    A bizarre chillness started descending upon them.

    It¡¯s here!

    Everyone¡¯s eyes shone.

    Bang!

    In the darkness, a group of somewhat formidable assassins appeared.

    Every one of them was at peak E-ss with somewhat formidable abilities. Evidently, these were specially trained experts. Thirty silhouettes appeared from all sorts of angles around them.

    Ambush!

    Their target being Chen Feng.

    After experiencing a failure during their previous attempt at using a unique ability to kill, they had decided to use the most traditional assassination method, to ambush!

    However.

    Pu!

    Pu!

    One silhouette after another started dropping.

    There was no need for even Shen Wei to move. The 10 shadow warriors had instantly erupted with an extremely powerfulbat power, one of them against three of the enemies, and they were still able to maintain absolute superiority.

    Insta-kill!

    A full flush of insta-kills!

    In a short 10 seconds, all their enemies were eliminated.

    So strong?

    Chen Feng looked at those shadow warriors.

    They had been holding it in for a very long time. Now, they finally got the chance to vent their anger! Moreover, from the eyes of a majority of them, Chen Feng could see the excitement where they wished for more of these enemies to appear.

    "These guys..."

    Instantly, Chen Feng understood. Were they still excited from the nervous system stimtion they had received earlier?

    These assassins were, in actuality, screwed up by the actions of their own allies.

    "Strong," Wang Chun praised them.

    Chen Feng stared ahead. "There¡¯s still 25 km to go."

    The total distance they needed to travel was 30 km.

    It was not a far distance, but it was not too near either.

    The failures of these assassins had proved that, if one wanted to kill Chen Feng, they had to first get rid of these shadow warriors, or else it would never happen.

    These shadow warriors that had been neglected by them were the true strongest force ofbat power here.

    Hence...

    Chen Feng guessed that the next targets of those assassins would be these shadow warriors.

    "You all be careful," Chen Feng advised.

    "Understood."

    They nodded their heads slightly.

    Under the bone-piercing coldness, they advanced once again. Throughout the journey, it was quite peaceful. However, the more peaceful it was, the higher everyone¡¯s vignce was.

    Hu¡ª

    The chilly wind was bitingly cold.

    Snowkes started drifting around in the air.

    Chen Feng was astonished. "It¡¯s snowing."

    "Yeah." Wang Chun rubbed his hands. "Seems like we have reached the inner region."

    "What beautiful snowkes," Shen Yi happily said. "Without these chilly winds, it would be so much better."

    Everyone burst out inughter at this.

    At this moment, the first snowke finallynded on their energy barrier.

    "Ka!"

    An astonishing sound of something cracking resounded.

    A crack had appeared on the energy barrier that had been maintained by Wang Chun.

    "Not good."

    Everyone¡¯s expressions changed greatly.

    "Something is wrong with these snowkes!"

    "Ka!"

    "Ka!"

    Countless snowkes started dropping. The energy barrier was in imminent danger.

    "Move!" Wang Chun bellowed.

    Xiu!

    The shadow warriors once again erupted in power and destroyed the falling snowkes.

    However...

    How many of these snowkes could they destroy?

    Cold wind engulfed them with endless falling snowkes.

    "Ka!"

    "Ka!"

    The energy barrier was tottering.

    Everyone¡¯s expressions were unsightly. No one had expected that their enemies would be so fierce this time. Moreover, such a unique method of attack was used.

    Snowkes...

    Chen Feng looked at the sky.

    Can you control the weather? If so, is your ability something like a rain- or snow-summoning ability? Chen Feng guessed.

    Such abilities were extremelymon.

    There were also a lot of peculiar mutated beasts possessing abilities to temporarily alter the weather. The gic abilities resulting from the genes of these beasts would provide one an ability to alter the weather, changing the atmosphere!

    For example¡ªsummoning snow or rain.

    However, such abilities were normally something only required by the weather department. It was said that, during the previous annual meeting, a rainbow goddess capable of producing rainbows had appeared in the weather department.

    The moment her rainbow appeared, all other weather effects would be suppressed!

    The effect of her ability was quite astonishing.

    However, such weather controlling abilities were normallycking inbat power. They were also rated lowly by the Gic Union. Unexpectedly, here, someone was using these abilities to attack.

    Chen Feng started thinking rapidly.

    If they were able to appear in here, they would be E ss at most.

    If so, their opponent would only have two gic abilities. One of them was definitely a snow-summoning ability.

    As for the next ability...

    Poison?

    Poisoning the snowkes?

    Chen Feng frowned. Such abination of gic abilities was too exotic. However, if these two were indeed the gic abilities used, the power would absolutely not be so strong!

    What joke was that?

    A poison ability itself was also something ssified among those abilities with weakbat power.

    One poison and one snow-summoning ability? With thebination of these, regardless of how one looked at it, it would not result in so powerful an effect. Even at a ce like this Extreme d where these abilities were naturally advantageous, it should not be so powerful.

    If so, then he could be sure of one thing.

    "To be so powerful, at least three of them are required!" Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were sharp as lighting. "As long as we kill one of them, they are screwed."

    "Understood."

    Everyone nodded slightly.

    Hum¡ª

    A shadow warrior vanished noiselessly.

    Assassination was also something they were extremely good at.

    "Drag out the time for them locate the enemies," Wang Chun said coldly.

    At this moment.

    "Ka!"

    The energy barrier shattered into pieces.

    Countless snowkes drifted in the air, every single one of them containing terrifying power within.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "It¡¯s here."

    Regardless of how powerful the energy barrier was, it would not be a match for suchrge-scale weather attack. However, regardless of how powerful the snowke was, it was still a snowke.

    As long as an ability it was weak against was used...

    Shua!

    Shen Wei moved instantly.

    Her burning sword was suddenly stabbed on the ground.

    Bang!

    A red radiance started spreading with Shen Wei as its center. Everything with a circumference of 10 meters was instantly cleansed. All the snowkes within were instantly melted, unable to get near them.

    In the dark Extreme d, that red radiance appeared very dazzling.

    Everyone was dragging it out for more time.

    The enemies were nning to eliminate Chen Feng as soon as possible, while Chen Feng¡¯s group needed tost long enough for the shadow warriors to find the enemies.

    Time passed quietly.

    Suddenly, an abnormality appeared in the air. The drifting snowkes dispersed while droplets of terrifying looking water started descending upon them.

    It was now raining.

    Chapter 188: Weather Attack

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    It was raining.

    Everyone had a solemn mood.

    The pattering raindrops dropped without stop as the rain got heavier.

    Distantly, drops of rain startednding on the ground as the terrifying pattering sound echoed without stop.

    Ci¡ª

    Ci¡ª

    A white aura appeared and started flickering.

    This was...

    Everyone inhaled mouthfuls of cold breath.

    Hua!

    Hua!

    The drizzle instantly turned into a downpour.

    Even the ming area created by Shen Wei was pushed back without stop. Under the huge amount of raindrops, the ming area reduced in size. Nine meters, eight meters, seven meters...

    "I will try increasing the power," Shen Wei coldly said.

    A rain at this level simply couldn¡¯t hope to cause her any harm.

    However...

    Wang Chun stopped her and shook his head slightly.

    Only at this did she notice that, as her me increased in intensity, the faces of everyone here, Wang Chun included, were already flushed red. All of them were enduring this high temperature she had created.

    In order to evaporate these raindrops, a higher temperature was required. These people would not be able to endure the heat generated. The current temperature was already the highest temperature they could endure.

    "What should we do, then?" Shen Wei asked in a low voice. Without locating their enemy, she couldn¡¯t do much either.

    She had never experienced a battle such as what they were currently facing, a battle where the enemy couldn¡¯t be located even after using such a terrifying area attacking method.

    Damn it!

    Everyone¡¯s expressions became unsightly. If this continued, they would be exhausted to their deaths. Enemy? They couldn¡¯t even locate them! Against such an attack, they were helpless.

    "What if we were to dig a pit in the ground?" Chen Feng suddenly suggested.

    He recalled that, in his previous life, there was a game called Minecraft where they could easily build something or dig a cave to get shelter from the rain.

    It seemed to be feasible in their current situation?

    "Let me try."

    A shadow warrior started bombarding the ground.

    Bang!

    The ground was damaged.

    However, only cracks were left on the ground. The soil here contained an extreme property of chilliness; hence, it was nearly impossible to dig a cave here.

    Wang Chun¡¯s expression was unsightly. "I¡¯m afraid this won¡¯t work..."

    Their enemy¡¯s scariness exceeded their imaginations.

    Chen Feng looked at the shadow warriors. "They still have not been found?"

    It had been a while, yet theirrades had yet to locate the enemy.

    "The enemy has blockaded all detection abilities," one of the shadow warrior replied with a solemn expression.

    "I can¡¯t find them either." Shen Yi shook her head slightly. "Our enemy definitely has some blockading-rted ability that has been utilized wlessly."

    All detection skills blocked?

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    They were definitely against a whole squad this time instead of a single individual.

    Only a full squad could control the weather in such a perfect manner with such wless coordination. And only a full squad could hide their aura so wlessly, to the point where even Shen Yi, who came from a unique world, could not detect them.

    Evidently, their current opponent was much scarier than their previous opponents.

    Chen Feng sighed. Wouldn¡¯t it be good if that rainbow goddess was here?

    Although the rainbow goddess had zerobat power, in their current circumstance, a single unique rainbow from her would be sufficient to cleanse everything. In other words, these weather-controlling abilities were weak against her rainbow ability.

    This squad...

    At this unique ce...

    And a weather attack was bringing huge trouble to Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    If this continued...

    Chen Feng looked at Shen Wei whose expression was already looking bad. In order to help everyone, endure these raindrops, she had exhausted a huge amount of energy. She wouldn¡¯t be able to hold on much longer.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. We can¡¯t drag this on much longer.

    Chen Feng looked at the shadow warrior beside him. "Connect me to those two, I need to talk to them."

    "All right."

    The shadow warrior connected Chen Feng¡¯smunication tool.

    Shua!

    Communication established.

    "Send me your current locations," Chen Feng said faintly.

    "All right."

    Both shadow warriors sent their locations to Chen Feng.

    "Good."

    After receiving their locations, Chen Feng shut his eyes. The newly created technique during the Gene Rookie Competition was once again used, disying his terrifying ability to affect everything in reality that rted to probability.

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    Chen Feng entered the digitized world.

    Coordinates established.

    Hum¡ª

    His Luck Aura was fully activated.

    Previously, it was with this method that Chen Feng had captured the hidden Bei Ta. That was the first time Chen Feng had attempted tobine reality with probabilities, creating a new method of using his Luck Aura.

    With his Luck Aura, he would affect the probability in order to grasp the correct coordinates to find out the true location of their enemy.

    In other words, he was guessing their location. With his Luck Aura, his guess would be correct.

    Using gene fragments of different lengths to represent different numbers from zero to nine to represent the coordinates.

    Shua!

    Countless gene fragments that represented different numbers gleamed in the air.

    Chen Feng grabbed casually.

    Mhm...

    Six gene fragments.

    The horizontal coordinate they represented was 000121.

    Shua!

    Once again, Chen Feng grabbed.

    Mhm.

    The vertical coordinate they represented this time was 056438.

    Shua!

    At the third grab of his, six gene fragments were grabbed. The number they represented was 000000. This was the coordinate of the altitude of their enemy, clearing showing that their enemy was not on the air or underground. Instead, they were on the ground as well.

    Then¡ª

    Their position was now confirmed.

    This was the very ability Chen Feng had previously used during thepetition. An ability he named Luck Aura ¨C Lockdown.

    With only three points of luck value, nobody could hide from him.

    Chen Feng sneered. "Found you. You two," Chen Feng contacted the two shadow warriors, "our enemy is at six o¡¯clock from your position, 213 meters away."

    "Roger!"

    The eyes of the two shadow warriors lit up.

    Hum¡ª

    Their silhouettes faded noiselessly.

    Currently, not much energy was left around Shen Wei.

    At the same time, at a certain location in the Extreme d, a group of ten were staring fixedly at Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    "It¡¯s soon."

    "Seems like that youngdy will exhaust her energy soon. As long as she exhausts her energy, the rest of them will probably not take long to copse. At that time..."

    "Hehe."

    "Little Nine, Little Ten, make sure our aura is hidden properly."

    "Don¡¯t worry." Little Nine sneered. "Even D-ss gic warriors would not be able to locate us."

    "Mhm."

    The rest nodded slightly.

    Everyone in their squad had a unique ability.

    Little Nine and Little Ten possessed an extremely formidable ability to block detection from one¡¯s awareness or gic abilities. The uniquebination of both their gic abilities were able to push this blockade ability to its limits.

    The eldest brother was the one in charge of dictacting the overall flow of battle.

    The remaining seven of them were all people with weather-control abilities.

    The seven of them possessed all sorts of weather-rted abilities with poisonous and corrosive special effects added on. The seven of them were sufficient to recreate a vast majority of existing natural disasters.

    This was the power of their squad. Iparably terrifying.

    As for defense?

    It was simply not needed. The radius of their weather attack was extremely terrifying. A lot of times, their enemies would notst long enough to reach them. Hence, catching them was almost impossible.

    "Hehe."

    "They are expecting such newbies to pass through here?"

    "What a joke."

    They discussed in quiet.

    "However, what on earth did Xia Yan, that crazy woman, want? Cultivating these terrifying monsters. Sometimes, I feel afraid just thinking of her creations."

    "Why bother about her. We only need toplete the mission and get our rewards. That will be sufficient."

    Little Nine sneered. "If she hadn¡¯t created such things, would the organization release a mission with such rich rewards?"

    "True."

    Everyone burst out inughter.

    Even if the heavens were to copse, there would be someone else to deal with it. What should they be afraid of?

    "Heh, the rewards this time..."

    They started discussing in excitement.

    As for Chen Feng?

    Mhm...

    They nced at him. Chen Feng¡¯s group was still resisting with great difficulty at the same spot.

    As for the two retards that were scouting for them, they had long been forgotten. Those two had also used some detection-blocking abilities; hence, if they attempted to locate those two, they would probably end up exposing their location. Those two wouldn¡¯t be able to find them anyway.

    Little Nine sneered.

    However, it was at this moment that an acute pain could be felt on his chest.

    "You..."

    Little Nine widened his eyes and stared at the person in front of him with an unbelievable expression.

    A shadow warrior had appeared and quietly harvested his life. The dagger with a paralysis effect had caused him to die without even being able to leave hisst words.

    "Who?"

    The rest felt something wrong.

    However... it was toote.

    Since they possessed an attack with such a huge area of effect, this signified that their defensive abilities were almost nonexistent. The moment the shadow warriors got near them...

    Pu!

    Pu!

    Blood sttered. This was simply a massacre.

    "How is this possible..."

    Little Ten stared at these two with an unbelievable expression. Even in death, he could not understand how had they been discovered with the undefeated blockade established by he and Little Nine.

    How was it possible that they had been found?

    You...

    Plop.

    The shadow warrior coldly pulled out his dagger.

    The battle ended.

    At that instant, the terrifying downpour of rain stopped.

    Chen Feng¡¯s mouth curled up, forming a smile. "It¡¯s over."

    "You..." Wang Chun looked at Chen Feng as he eximed in admiration.

    He was aware of how astonishing Chen Feng¡¯sbat power was. However, he had Shen Yi by his side, so he would possess a natural advantage. Unexpectedly, this time around, when even Shen Yi had failed to locate the enemy, Chen Feng had easily seeded.

    This guy...

    How many trump cards does he have?

    Wang Chun sighed. "I¡¯m now somewhat envious of you."

    "Scram," Chen Feng said grudgingly. This guy with a gic ability capable of creating a harem should be the envied one, right? With the Shen Yi siblings, he was still not satisfied?

    At this time, the two shadow warriors returned with astonishing news.

    Organization...

    Mission...

    Xia Yan...

    This were what they had overheard.

    As Chen Feng heard the details, he felt a chill go down his spine.

    Their opponent was actually operating in a simr manner to the Gic Union and Gene Production Association, where missions with rewards were issued to experts to undertake.

    What did this signify?

    This signified the scale of this mysterious organization. Moreover, even with such an operating method that was somewhat free in nature, they had still not heard of anything rted to this organization before. They did not even know the name of their opponent¡¯s organization.

    Wasn¡¯t this too terrifying?

    The cohesion and strength of this organization might be much more terrifying than they had imagined.

    "After this, we need to be even more careful."

    Chen Feng had a solemn expression.

    Wang Chun and the rest nodded slightly.

    If this organization truly worked in a manner where missions with rewards were assigned, then, the subsequent enemies that they would encounter would probably be even more powerful. If they were to face these enemies head-on, they would have nothing to be afraid of. The limit in this area was peak E ss. Regardless of the shadow warriors or Shen Wei, they were the deadliest existence within this level.

    If there was one thing they were afraid of, it was those random obscure gic abilities. Unfortunately, the members of this mysterious organization seemed to be well versed in this aspect.

 Chapter 189: So Unbridled!

    Chapter 189: So Unbridled!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Amidst the chilly wind, the group moved forth with great difficulty.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng stopped.

    "What¡¯s up?"

    Wang Chun felt doubtful.

    "We can¡¯t continue like this." Chen Feng shook his head. This mysterious organization was too bizarre with all sorts of unique gic abilities that one would have difficulty guarding against. If they continued progressing in such a manner, they would definitely end up dead.

    An even more important point was time. There was not much time left before the incubated being¡¯s birth.

    If their opponent dispatched a gic warrior that specialized in slowing people down, they would be helpless against it. Hence, they couldn¡¯t continue advancing this way.

    If they were to remain the way they were, they would end up dead.

    They had to think of something.

    Chen Feng started thinking rapidly.

    Shua!

    His brain moved quickly. He was clear on the importance of looking for a feasible method to deal with this. Shadow warriors? They wouldn¡¯t do. Despite their formidablebat power, their current opponents were not applying conventional battling methods. Hence, the shadow warriors would not be able to fully disy what they were good at, which was direct battles.

    As for the Shen Wei siblings, they were in the same situation.

    What should they do, then?

    Chen Feng squeezed every ounce of his brain cells yet failed to think of anything. These unique gic abilities were simply a disaster to those who focused on ordinary direct battles. Suddenly, Chen Feng thought of something.

    Was the nervous system stimtion formidable?

    It was!

    Was the weather attack formidable?

    It was!

    However, as these unique attacking methods were too extreme in their focus in their bizarre abilities, the user¡¯s personalbat power was quite weak. If that was the case...

    Their greatest weakness would be meleebat. As long as someone like a shadow warrior managed to locate them...

    This, though, was what Chen Feng excelled at.

    Luck Aura ¨C Lockdown, only three luck values were required.

    "However... how do I confirm if there are any enemies around?"

    Chen Feng pondered.

    His Luck Aura ¨C Lockdown was able to determine the location of his enemies at any time. However, the prerequisite for that was that there had to be a target avable for the skill to lock onto. If he could not figure out whether there were any enemies, how was he supposed to lock onto them?

    Lock on...

    Mhm...

    Chen Feng sunk into contemtion.

    The Luck Aura was almost omnipotent. This lock on function was the first skill he¡¯d created using his Luck Aura. If so, could other abilities be created using the Luck Aura as well?

    For example...

    Detecting the appearance of enemies?

    Chen Feng started thinking rapidly.

    It was possible!

    The reason for this was simple.

    Luck Aura was something that would work ording to how Chen Feng willed it to.

    For example, if Chen Feng willed for: I need an ice-attribute Wind de , then, after using his luck values, a Wind de with an ice attribute would definitely appear. No other attributes would appear. If what he willed for was something with zero probability of appearance, then the luck value would simply remain dormant. Simple as such.

    If so...

    If Chen Feng willed for: Performing a certain action when enemies intending harm to him were to appear around him , would he be able to create an alert system?

    He put his thoughts into action!

    Let¡¯s try it out.

    With a thought, Chen Feng entered the digitized world.

    A huge amount of lively gene fragments were summoned by Chen Feng.

    Normally, these gene fragments would be wandering around randomly in his spiritual world and would only be useful when required. For example, when Chen Feng used his Luck Aura ¨C Lockdown.

    These were the gene fragments Chen Feng used to conceptualize real life coordinates in his spiritual world.

    Under normal circumstances, these gene fragments were extremely stable and would not mutate. After all, it was pointless for them to evolve since they were now residing in a digitized world.

    However, if luck values were used, these gene fragments could still be forced to mutate. It was somewhat pointless to do this, though.

    This time, the new skill that Chen Feng was trying to create would require the usage of these gene fragments as well.

    For example.

    If Chen Feng willed: Within 3 km, if enemies with ill intent against him were to appear, one of the gene fragments shall mutate.

    With this, he would be able to turn the matter of detecting his opponent¡¯s appearance into a matter of probability.

    Then...

    As long as an enemy appeared, something with a low probability of urrence such as mutation of these gene fragments would ur, even if the probability of their mutation was a chance of one in 100 million.

    As long as it was something to do with probability, it would not be a problem for Chen Feng.

    The most powerful aspect of this new skill was the fact that his gene fragments would not mutate if there were no enemies around them, so there would be no exhaustion of luck values.

    This also signified that this was a skill that Chen Feng could leave active at all times.

    Moreover, he could set the detection radius as he wished. A radius of 100 km, for example? He could even set various definitions for the type of enemies he wanted to detect. For example, a certain someone set as the target of his detection?

    Will it work as I intend?

    Chen Feng was filled with anticipation.

    Shua!

    Luck Aura activated. Indeed, no luck values were exhausted.

    "Go."

    Chen Feng leaded the group as they advanced.

    One minute.

    Two minutes.

    ...

    Pop!

    A certain gene fragment in his digitized world suddenly mutated, reducing his luck value by one point.

    "They¡¯re here!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes lit up.

    However, as this was the first time he had tried using his new skill, Luck Aura ¨C rm, Chen Feng was not sure if it was working as intended. Hence, he promptly activated his Luck Aura ¨C Lockdown to lock onto their enemy.

    Shua!

    Three points of luck values exhausted, target¡¯s coordinates confirmed.

    Sessful!

    Chen Feng was exhrated. It was confirmed that enemy had indeed appeared in their vicinity.

    "This is good."

    Chen Feng¡¯s emotions surged.

    Wait.

    If that was the case, wouldn¡¯t his Luck Aura ¨C Lockdown be ridiculously overpowered as well? As long as he willed it to lock onto a certain individual, Chen Feng could even lock onto someone with the whole world as the range.

    Using his gene fragments to represent the coordinates of the whole world, he would be able to easily find whoever he was looking for.

    "Let¡¯s try it out."

    Shua!

    He activated his digitized world.

    A three dimensional graph representing the whole world was built in his spiritual world.

    Then...

    "If I am lucky enough, I will be able to know the exact position Hou Liang is currently at?"

    Chen Feng pondered thoughtfully.

    Shua!

    He casually grabbed forth three times.

    Countless gene fragments representing different coordinates appeared, giving Chen Feng the urate coordinate of Hou Liang. He found that his ability had indeed indicated that Hou Liang was currently at Star City.

    "Indeed..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled.

    It worked!

    This was the first time he had discovered how ridiculously powerful the skills he created with Luck Aura were, to the point that they ignored logic.

    So...this is the true nature of Luck Aura? As long as I change everything I can¡¯t aplish into a matter of probability, everything will not be a problem anymore.

    "So powerful."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed ferociously.

    He was now aware that he had been looking down on his Luck Aura all this while.

    If that was the case...

    Chen Feng¡¯s mouth curled up into a smile. Their mission this time would be interesting.

    "Come here."

    Chen Feng gathered all the shadow warriors.

    Matters pertaining to security were previously something that Wang Chun and the shadow warriors from the Gic Union were in charge of. Chen Feng had no authority tomand them. However, due to the strength disyed by Chen Feng, they were all listening to him now.

    Chen Feng pointed at three people. "You, you, and you. The three of you will be in a team. You three will patrol the area within 3 km ahead of us."

    "The three of you will be the second team... left side..."

    "The three of you will be the third team... right side..."

    Chen Feng sent out nine shadow warriors.

    "What are you doing?"

    Wang Chun had a solemn expression.

    These shadow warriors were extremely powerful gic warriors among peak E-ss warriors. Granted, at times, they were weak against certain abilities. However, they were still capable of disying an extremely powerfulbat power. If they were sent away...

    "Don¡¯t worry." Chen Feng smiled. "I am merely letting them disy what they are good at."

    "?"

    Wang Chun was confused.

    Chen Feng¡¯s mouth curled up, forming a smile. "You will know soon."

    Passively defending themselves? That was simply not his style. What was the thing these shadow warriors were best at? Massacre! The previous battles had clearly demonstrated what they were good at. Extremely high flexibility,bat power, and concealment capabilities. This was what they excelled at.

    Defending?

    They would be more and more passive that way.

    "You all will be in charge of patrolling the set radius assigned to each of you," Chen Feng coldly said. "I will be sending out the enemy¡¯s coordinates to the group nearest to them. The team of three that receives the coordinates only needs to go over and eliminate them."

    Shua!

    Everyone¡¯s eyes widened.

    This...

    Even Wang Chun inhaled a mouthful of cold air. He had considered countless possibilities of what Chen Feng was attempting. However, he had never imagined that Chen Feng was nning to take the initiative to attack!

    That¡¯s right!

    Taking the initiative to attack! In this Extreme d, where danger lurked everywhere!

    "You..." Wang Chun smiled bitterly. "If not for the fact that I knew you previously, I might even suspect that you are an undercover operative."

    Chen Feng had a faint smile. "So, do you want to do this?"

    "Yes!"

    Wang Chun clenched his teeth.

    Damn it, if even Chen Feng dared to do it, what was he afraid of?

    He had known Chen Feng for a while. Although he was not clear on the true extent of Chen Feng¡¯s strength, he was very clear that Chen Feng would definitely not attempt something he was not confident in, even when it came to something as crazy as this!

    A cruel smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "Then... let the game begin."

    Who said that we must be on the defense?

    Sorry.

    From this moment onward, we will be the hunters instead!

    With Chen Feng as the center, a region of carnage spread outward noiselessly. With the alert system and detection provided by his Luck Aura, a massacre began.

    Shua!

    Gene fragments in the digitized world mutated.

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze moved quickly as he locked onto the target¡¯s position.

    "Team one, 300 meters from your six o¡¯clock."

    "Team two, 500 meters from your nine o¡¯clock."

    "Team three, 950 meters from your four o¡¯clock."

    ...

    Shua!

    Shua!

    With the activation of Luck Aura ¨C Lockdown, all enemies failed to hide.

    Target found!

    Target locked on!

    Target eliminated!

    The nearer they got to the goal of the mission, the more enemies they found. However, under the crazy massacre directed by Chen Feng, all these enemies were transformed into ice-cold corpses.

    One...

    Two...

    Three...

    None survived.

    A deathly silence sunk into the Extreme d.

    On their path that was initially filled with various obstacles, a path of blood was forged.

    "Damn!"

    Wang Chun witnessed all this with shock.

    Crazy!

    This was too crazy!

    He had never expected that, when executing such a dangerous mission, Chen Feng would be so unbridled and tyrannical, crushing everyone in the Extreme d, killing everyone present!

    This guy... was indeed not an ordinary person!

 Chapter 190: Target

    Chapter 190: Target

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In a certain human-dug ice cave in the Extreme d, Xia Yan was making her final preparations with a solemn expression. She was clear that the moment this incubated being was birthed, a new future would be created.

    Definitely!

    However...

    She looked at the flickering red dots on the screen.

    Chen Feng...

    Xia Yan rubbed her arm that had yet to recover its nimbleness as hatred shed in her eyes. Was this damnable producer here to mess up her ns again?

    "A mere producer, yet you all have yet to sessfully eliminate him?" Xia Yan¡¯s tone was cold.

    "There have already been twenty attempts on this mission. However..."

    A buff guy beside her was feeling somewhat awkward. In their organization, those in E ss were low in number. The people they had sent so far were already the elites among their E-ss warriors. Unexpectedly, their opponent was such a savage.

    Everyone that was sent ended up dead! Moreover, it was now reaching a point where, before those they sent could even locate Chen Feng¡¯s group, they were already dead.

    What could they do?

    Now, nobody dared to ept the issued mission anymore.

    "Maybe... we can cancel the restriction for those above peak E ss?" he said cautiously.

    Xia Yan looked at him coldly, filled with killing intent. "That is not possible!"

    That guy immediately shut his mouth.

    "Hmph."

    Xia Yan continued ring at him until his spine felt numb before she shifted her gaze.

    Remove the restriction?

    How was that possible?

    Everything she did now was for the sake of that incubated being.

    Restricting entry to only peak E ss and below was not only for the growth of that incubated being. More importantly, it was to stop the attack from the Gic Union and Gene Production Association.

    If there was no restriction and this area ended up locked onto by those experts...

    No one could predict what would happen here. She would definitely not take such risks.

    "If only the organization ced more trust in me."

    Xia Yan clenched her fists.

    It was already thetter stage of their dark freak project. Due to the existence of purifiers and supervisors, the development of the dark freak project was greatly restricted. It was extremely likely this project would be canceled in a few years time.

    This was her final gamble, creating the mutated dark freak¡ªthe incubated being!

    Her blood and tears for three whole years were for the uing incubated being.

    "As long as it is birthed sessfully, we win," Xia Yan muttered.

    Chen Feng?

    She would definitely not allow him to spoil her ns.

    "Authorize that person to make his move, then," Xia Yan said suddenly.

    Shua!

    The guy beside her trembled. "You mean..."

    That guy! The main subject of their previous project?

    "He¡¯s too dangerous." That guy¡¯s expression was unsightly. "If we lose control..."

    "I am aware of that," she said as grudge seethed out of her eyes. Was she not aware of how dangerous that guy was? However, they were simply out of choices currently. Hence, he had to be sent out.

    A single Chen Feng had forced her to such desperation.

    Chen Feng...

    She stared at the red dot on the screen, killing intent seething out of her.

    Currently, at the fringes of the Extreme d, a silhouette stepped forth into this area with a calm expression on his face.

    "Looking at the time... it is almost time," the cold voice echoed.

    Shua.

    That silhouette vanished, leaving behind a wisp of fragrance in the air.

    **

    In the Extreme d, the path of Chen Feng and his group had suddenly be smooth and unhindered. After over ten waves of enemies were killed, those people were seemingly afraid, as they no longer dared to step foot here.

    Five kilometers...

    Twenty kilometers...

    No enemies were found as they were neared their target.

    Wang Chun¡¯s expression was even more solemn than before.

    "Shen Yi," he said in a low voice.

    "Understood."

    Shen Yi pointed at that tiny skull of hers.

    The more peaceful it seemed, the more dangerous it actually was.

    Toward this mysterious organization, they had to maintain the utmost vignce.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted.

    Luck Aura ¨C rm reacted once again. An enemy had appeared. After locking onto the coordinates, they started the hunt.

    "Team one, 1,200 meters from your nine o¡¯clock," Chen Feng said with a deep tone.

    "Understood."

    Shua!

    Three shadow warriors set forth.

    "Be careful," Chen Feng advised.

    Due to the amount of time it took before this enemy appeared, he had a bad feeling.

    Three minutes.

    Five minutes.

    ...

    No updates were received.

    After a long time.

    The wristband of the shadow warrior that had stayed behind buzzed. A message was received. The group of three that went over to their enemy were all killed.

    Not even a picture was taken before they were wiped out.

    "Something happened."

    The expression of that shadow warrior changed greatly.

    This was a method in which the shadow warriorsmunicated with each other. Regardless of who it was, as long as one of them died, an update would be quickly sent to the other shadow warriors in their vicinity. Theoretically, this update should include a recording of what happened as well.

    However...

    No recording was received.

    Nothing could be seen.

    This indicated that the three of them had been insta-killed by the enemy.

    "How is this possible?" that shadow warrior roared.

    Those above peak E ss couldn¡¯t enter here, and they were already the strongest among those in peak E ss. Due to the constant battles they engaged in all the time, theirbat power was far above an average person¡¯s as well.

    It was very rare for someone capable of defeating them to appear. It was even rarer that they were eliminated when it was three of them against a single opponent.

    "Could it be a whole team was there instead of an individual?" Wang Chun guessed.

    "No." Shen Yi shook her head. "Only one person is there."

    Wang Chun was astonished. "How do you know that?"

    Shen Yi gave a surprising reply. "Because our opponent did not even bother to hide his aura!"

    What?

    Everyone¡¯s hearts throbbed.

    Shua!

    Waves of spiritual energy started spreading out.

    Indeed, at the location they had locked onto earlier, a gust of terrifying aura that was piercing straight to the heavens could be sensed. That aura was so terrifying that the air there was all twisted, giving off an extremely savage appearance.

    Concealing?

    There was no need for that.

    Their enemy was directly standing there calmly, right in front of the entrance to the incubated being¡¯s cave.

    If one wanted to enter, one had to first pass through him.

    Shen Wei¡¯s eyes shone. "I¡¯m looking forward to giving him a try."

    From the moment when she was first been summoned by Wang Chun, she had already possessed an extremely powerfulbat power. Along with the increase in Wang Chun¡¯s strength, her currentbat power was extremely terrifying.

    She was not afraid of anyone at peak E ss or lower.

    "Let theme back first, then." Chen Feng sighed as he ordered the shadow warriors back.

    He was aware that this might be the final battle they had to face. After all the shadow warriors returned, they set forth once again.

    With seven shadow warriors, Chen Feng, and Shen Wei, he refused to believe that they wouldn¡¯t be able to defeat a single enemy. One had to know that, regardless of how powerful the enemy was, he was, after all, still someone at the peak of E ss.

    Shua!

    The group set forth.

    Soon, they reached their target.

    However, despite how much they had prepared themselves, they had never expected that such a thing would be here waiting for them.

    That¡¯s right, "such a thing" was the term used to describe this enemy. This was a huge silhouette three meters tall. His body seemed to be split into two sections. The left half of his body wasprised of terrifyingly firm muscles, while the right half of his body wasprised of ice-blue mechanical body.

    He appeared human yet not human.

    One could also say that this was a half android.

    "Half android?"

    Expressions of rm appeared on everyone¡¯s faces.

    One had to know that nowadays, with the progress in gic research, one could even recover after losing an arm. As long as one was not suffering from brain death, external injuries simply posed no problems. Hence, the usage of things such as artificial limbs was stopped long ago, as there was no longer demand for them.

    Half android?

    This was almost an existence out of the legends of old.

    "I have been waiting a long time for you all," an ice-cold machine voice resounded.

    That three-meter-tall silhouette looked at Chen Feng¡¯s group. His left eye was filled with life, while that mechanical right eye of his was flickering with a bizarre red light.

    He had a frightening appearance.

    "This guy..."

    Chen Feng and Wang Chun exchanged nces, as they had an ominous feeling.

    If this guy¡¯s body had not ended up this way due to some problems with his physical body, only one possibility was left. He was a living weapon! Someone who was subjected to research that treated him as a weapon instead of a human.

    Such an existence was also the very thing capable of bypassing the restriction here.

    Peak E ss? This restriction was ineffective against this thing here.

    Wang Chun¡¯s heart jolted ferociously. "That shouldn¡¯t be the case, right?"

    It was at this moment that this thing raised his thick right arm, that huge mechanical arm, and aimed straight at Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    Hum¡ª

    The mechanical arm reassembled itself noiselessly.

    Instantly, the reassembly waspleted, forming a cannon.

    A pitch-ck hole was aimed at them.

    "This is..."

    Everyone¡¯s expressions changed greatly.

    "Retreat!" Chen Feng bellowed.

    Shua!

    Everyone retreated hastily.

    At this instant, a terrifying radiance bloomed instantly.

    Bang!

    A white expanse of scorching white enveloped the world.

 Chapter 191: Unrivaled Mechanical War God!

    Chapter 191: Unrivaled Mechanical War God!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang!

    A terrifying radiance gleamed dazzlingly.

    It was so dazzling that everyone there nearly couldn¡¯t keep their eyes open. At this crucial moment, they still managed to instinctively make the correct choice and get out of the way.

    Bang!

    Earth trembled.

    The radiance faded.

    When everyone reopened their eyes, they immediately inhaled mouthfuls of cold air. A deep gorge had been left on the ground that they had failed to break despite several attempts.

    This was the power of that energy attack.

    Incredibly terrifying.

    "This guy..."

    Everyone had unsightly expressions.

    This energy attack had at the very least reached the power of D ss. It might have even reached the peak D-ss level. These peak E-ss warriors here were simply not a match for that.

    Ka!

    Ka!

    The half android stretched his body.

    Wang Chun gave his order without hesitation. "Attack!"

    When it came to battles, he was much more experienced than Chen Feng. Despite how powerful the energy attack was, they were still able to dodge it if they were careful. Furthermore, the activation of that energy attack required time as well. If no time was given to their enemy to make his move...

    Shua!

    Seven shadow warriors charged toward the half android, leaving afterimages behind.

    Just as they were about to reach the half android, suddenly, his right arm started flickering with a swirling glow as a bizarre energy shield instantly formed.

    Hum¡ª

    The energy shield shone dazzlingly as it blocked all attacks.

    "Hehe," the half androidughed nastily.

    Bang!

    Once again, the energy attack was unleashed.

    "Be careful!"

    Their expressions changed greatly.

    Bang!

    A dazzling explosion.

    Previously, the energy attack had beenunched toward them from far away. Hence, they had been able to easily dodge it. However, with how close they were to the half android now, they simply couldn¡¯t dodge it; they could only take it on.

    "Defend!" the seven shadow warriors bellowed.

    Bang!

    The energy dispersed and the seven of them were flung away.

    Heavily injured!

    "This..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed slightly.

    He finally understood how the three shadow warriors had died earlier. Only a single face-off and the seven powerful peak E-ss shadow warriors were already heavily injured. This was simply a confrontation between two sides from totally different levels.

    This thing here was not only strong in attacking; it was also extremely powerful in other aspects as well.

    During that instance earlier, the seven shadow warriors had made their move instantly. However, this guy was actually capable of immediately reacting to their attack by releasing his energy shield. This disyed the fast reaction time this guy possessed. That bizarre energy shield had easily blocked the strongest attacks of seven peak E-ss warriors. This also disyed the strength of that thing¡¯s defense!

    Strong attack!

    Strong defense!

    Fast reaction time!

    Totally an opponent from a whole different league.

    At this moment.

    Shua!

    Light bloomed.

    A graceful silhouette suddenly streaked out, attacking the half android from his back.

    It was Shen Wei!

    The moment the seven shadow warriors had attacked earlier, she had concealed herself with Shen Yi¡¯s assistance before charging forth to erupt with her attack from the most optimal direction.

    Currently, the half android still maintained the same posture it assumed when it had flung the shadow warriors away earlier.

    Chance!

    An exceptionally good chance!

    Bang!

    A terrifying sword ray shed downward.

    Wang Chun¡¯s emotions surged. "Eliminate him!"

    Hum¡ª

    The power contained in Shen Wei¡¯s sword increased.

    Whenever she made a move, she would always put all she had into a single attack in order to kill with a single move, not giving her enemy any second chances. That red-hot me was so dazzling its radiance covered half the sky.

    Bang!

    The sword raynded on the half android¡¯s body.

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying explosion of me. Everyone was filled with anticipation. However, the body of that half android had instantly turned into a gold color and started radiating a terrifying gold-colored light.

    He had blocked the attack!

    This...

    Gic ability!

    A smile of contempt appeared on the half android¡¯s lips.

    Did these people believe that he was truly an android since his body had been mechanically modified? As a half android, his strongest aspect was the fact that he was still a human despite his mechanical body!

    He was still capable of fusing with gic abilities!

    He was a person possessing both intact gic abilities and the formidable power of an android.

    Sneak attack?

    Simply a joke.

    He was the main subject of the organization¡¯s previous project!

    He had originally been ted to be an existence akin to an unrivaled war god that was the result of a fusion between technology and gics! Although the project centered on him had been halted after a single modification due to the immense costs required, he was still the strongest existence at this level!

    Although his body was half-mechanical, he was still considered a human. He was clear that, if he wanted more modifications, he could only rely on that damnable woman!

    Hum¡ª

    Red light flickered in his eyes.

    He would first kill Chen Feng before going back to force that woman to continue modifying his body!

    "Scram!" the half android shouted.

    Bang!

    An energy explosion.

    Shen Wei was flung away by the terrifying energy explosion.

    Even Shen Wei, someone with a power at the peak of E ss, who was also capable of transcending sses to even crush some D-ss gic warriors, was not the opponent of this half android!

    How strong was this guy?

    "I should really thank you all." A bizarre smile formed on the half android¡¯s mouth. "If it wasn¡¯t for you guys, that woman would probably not have granted me my freedom. Hence, to thank you guys... let me personally send you on your trip to the underworld!"

    Shua!

    Light shed.

    The half android¡¯s body started shining as light swirled around his body.

    Using the fleshy portion of his body that was at the level of E ss, he fully activated his gic abilities. Two gic abilities erupted and fused with his mechanical body. With this, nobody here was his opponent!

    Shua!

    The half android started his onught.

    "Be careful!" Shen Wei blocked in front of everyone.

    Bang!

    A collision of iron fist and ming sword!

    Pu!

    Shen Wei started spurting blood.

    So strong.

    Everyone¡¯s hearts trembled.

    No one had expected that this half android would be so powerful.

    The shadow warriors stood up with great difficulty. Unfortunately, they did not seem to have muchbat power remaining in them. This time, they might truly die here.

    "Sorry."

    The shadow warriors were filled with guilt.

    Their mission was to escort Chen Feng to the incubated being.

    However... they failed! Their target was already in front of them. The entrance to the cave was so near. However, they couldn¡¯t enter!

    "Escorting me here is already sufficient." A smile formed on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "Your mission isplete. As for the rest, leave it to me."

    What?

    Everyone nked.

    Leave it to you?

    Was it due to the existence of that red light when his nervous system had been stimted previously?

    That red light was indeed powerful. They had a deep impression of it.

    However...

    Could Chen Feng truly disy that power? Without stimtion of his nervous system, he had no outside help to once again disy that power.

    Moreover, against this enemy with a half-mechanical body, who was capable of liquefying his body to reconstruct his body, without the assistance of an intelligent chip to help direct their attacks, it was simply impossible to end this half android!

    This half android here most certainly had his brain modified with an intelligent chip, bing the half android that he was currently. Since that was the case, a traditional spiritual shockwave would be ineffective against him. Using a spiritual attack against a machine? It was simply a joke.

    They believed that, whoever it was that had modified this half android, that person must have taken this aspect into consideration as well. It was very probable for Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual attack to be ineffective.

    Allowing a gene producer to be the one battling?

    How was that possible?

    "Just retreat," one of the shadow warrior said in a low voice. "Even if we have failed this mission, we must assure your safety."

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "There¡¯s no need for that."

    Opposite them, the half android was seething with killing intent as he eyed them.

    After hearing Chen Feng¡¯s words, he had a bad feeling. This guy... Did this guy truly possess a method of killing him? From the data transmitted to him by Xia Yan...

    This guy was extremely dangerous! He had to be cautious!

    "Before we start, I have a question," Chen Feng suddenly said.

    What?

    The half android was puzzled.

    "Your body was half-mechanical and half flesh. So," Chen Feng looked curiously at his crotch, "is that part half-mechanical as well?"

    !!!

    Even if he was an enemy, wouldn¡¯t it be too excessive to ask this straight to his face?!

    Chen Feng looked at him with sympathy in his eyes. "It seems like the answer is yes."

    "Chen Feng!"

    The half android¡¯s ice-cold mechanical voice was seething with killing intent.

    After modification, that thing at his crotch had also be a killing weapon and could no longer be used in a regr fashion. This was the biggest pain in his heart. This was also biggest source of his hatred toward Xia Yan.

    The half android started raging. "I¡¯ll kill you!"

    "Indeed..." A smile formed on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    Even if he was a half android, his main body was still human. He would still be angry, be furious, be emotionally unstable. Such a modified life form, what was the point of its existence?

    "Just let this be over with."

    Chen Feng waved his hand indifferently.

    Shua!

    Luck Aura activated.

    Myriad Illusionary Wind des started emerging in great numbers. The amount of the gic abilities contained in his Myriad Illusion gic ability that he had ess to was greatly rted to the amount of his spiritual energy. Now that his spiritual energy had greatly increased, the amount of gic abilities he could ess had increased greatly as well.[1]

    The strongest attacking gene! Come! Chen Feng chanted inwardly.

    Hum¡ª

    A huge Wind de appeared in the air.

    Its Myriad Illusions¨Cgenerated ability: Magnification, this skill was able to absorb the masterless energy in the air, increasing the energy contained in the user by threefold.

    Presently, this Myriad Illusions¨Cgenerated ability hadbined with Wind de, bing a secret art, magnifying the power of the original Wind de by fivefold, possessing astonishing power.

    Magnification!

    This was the strongest ability among the abilities in his Myriad Illusions that his Luck Aura had chosen.

    Footnotes:

    1. In case anyone has forgotten this, this part refers to what was mentioned in the early chapters. The illusionary snake gene reagent Chen Feng fused with to obtain this Myriad Illusions gic ability was a gene reagent containing numerous gic abilities within. This is because the illusionary snake is a beast without a fixed gic ability, which means that within its body were numerous genes, each with different gic ability. When Chen Feng used his Luck Aura, he is able to select and activate the gene containing the gic ability he needs.

    Chapter 192: Dying in Such a Manner Is Truly...

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Fivefold power?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s mouth curled up, forming a smile. He had forgotten thest time he¡¯d had the chance to unleash his true power. The previous time he¡¯d done so, he¡¯d only had a spiritual energy of 250 points, yet his Myriad Illusionary Wind de had already been capable of insta-killing someone at D-ss. Now, a Myriad Illusionary Wind de formed with his 1,000 points of spiritual energy...

    Shua!

    The half-meter-length Wind de erupted with fivefold its power and size.

    "This thing..."

    The half android was alerted as he started defending with all his power.

    Bang!

    The Wind de collided with the energy shield.

    Hum¡ª

    It created a faint undtion, yet no damage was caused.

    A Wind de created with 1,000 points of spiritual energy would only possess a maximum power of peak E ss. Even after a fivefold increase in its power, it had merely reached the initial stages of D-ss.

    Breaking through the shield? How was that possible?

    The huge Wind de of Chen Feng¡¯s wasn¡¯t even as powerful as the shadow warriors.

    "Indeed..."

    Everyone smiled bitterly. Seemed like they were truly going to die here.

    "Only this much?" The half androidughed malevolently. "Go die, then."

    Shua!

    His body charged forth.

    However, at this very moment, Chen Feng once again waved his hand.

    Shua!

    A session of Wind des erupted.

    Regardless of how powerful his Wind de was, it was essentially something formed of wind energy. Hence, it was extremely fast. With the chain of Wind des unleashed upon him, the half android had no choice but to stop his attack and to focus on defense instead.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The never-ending Wind des bombarded the energy shield.

    Hum¡ª

    One ripple after another was created on the energy shield.

    After several tens of Wind desnded on it, the shield still remained intact.

    Shen Wei shook her head. This won¡¯t do...

    Doing this would only exhaust their enemy¡¯s energy instead of dealing any real damage. If they wanted to eliminate the half android, a single powerful attack was required.

    The android shook his head. "Too weak."

    How could an attack at this level harm him? The producers nowadays were indeed too na?ve. To think that Xia Yan had even told him that this guy was dangerous? What a joke.

    However, Chen Feng still maintained his calm expression.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Wind des erupted without stop.

    The half android merely stared coldly at this opponent. When his opponent finally exhausted his spiritual energy, it would be the half android¡¯s turn to charge forth and kill him.

    However...

    One minute.

    Two minutes.

    Three minutes.

    ...

    Suddenly, an ice-cold system notification prompted. At this, the expression of the half android changed greatly.

    "Ding. Warning. Only 10% energy remaining."

    The half android¡¯s expression started twisting. "What?"

    Ten percent?

    How was that possible?!

    He had an extremely powerful energy core! The energy core was capable of supporting his normal operation for one whole year. Even if he were to engage in battles on a daily basis, the energy core would still be able tost one whole month.

    How many minutes had it been?

    He looked at the numbers indicating his energy level.

    Only at this did he find out that, in this short few minutes, how huge the amount of Wind des that Chen Feng had unleashed. The unending flow of Wind des appeared more like a single huge wave instead of individual Wind des.

    Although the Wind des were incapable of breaking through his energy shield, they were able to exhaust a huge amount of his energy supply.

    "This is impossible!" The half android could not believe this. How could this guy release so many Wind des? Even if only one point of spiritual energy was required for a single Wind de, with Chen Feng¡¯s level, 1,000 Wind des should have been his limit, right? Instead, what he was facing currently was an unending torrent of Wind des!

    So many Wind des he couldn¡¯t even count them!

    Nine percent...

    Eight percent...

    His energy supply was dropping rapidly.

    "No!"

    An rmed expression appeared on the half android¡¯s face.

    He possessed limitless life span and a limitless future! He could not die here!

    Shua!

    Instinctively, he turned around, trying to flee.

    However...

    Bang!

    A huge amount of Wind des flooded him.

    Escaping?

    Can you escape?

    When the energy shield was fully activated, he was not able to move a single step, or else the exhaustion would be even more terrifying. Hence, he could only maintain his energy shield¡¯s activation to block Chen Feng¡¯s attack.

    Seven percent...

    Six percent...

    His energy supply was still dropping rapidly.

    I can¡¯t sit here and wait for death!

    He attempted to use other methods. For example, shooting energy beams out of his cannon...

    However, under Chen Feng¡¯s unending Wind des, it was simply ineffective. Instead, his energy supply was exhausted at an even faster speed.

    Three percent...

    Two percent...

    One percent...

    A session of warnings popped out. "Ding! Warning! Overexhaustion of energy! Warning! Automatic energy regeneration unable to keep up with energy usage! Warning! Energy supply will be emptied soon. Kindly recharge as soon as possible."

    Finally.

    Apanied by a mournful scream, the energy shield disappeared.

    "No!"

    The half android screeched in terror.

    Bang!

    He was submerged by a flood of Wind des.

    Energy exhausted.

    Defense stopped functioning.

    All other avable operations were halted as well.

    Pu!

    One Wind de after another rained down on the half android¡¯s body. Although he had disyed his gic abilities to his utmost capability, that half-mechanical body of his, at this moment, became his biggest baggage.

    Pu!

    Pu!

    Pu!

    Wind des erupted unendingly.

    The half android was bombarded to death.

    "This..."

    Everyone¡¯s mouths were left agape as they nked for a long time.

    Dead just like that?

    How was this possible?

    The half android was akin to an unrivaled war god that had crushed all opposition. Even Shen Wei hadn¡¯t been his match. Now, this half android had been spammed to death by Chen Feng¡¯s Wind des?

    This was illogical!

    What on earth had happened?

    Everyone was clueless.

    Even the Shen Wei siblings were shocked.

    Wang Chun was astonished. "What happened?"

    "Cough cough." Chen Feng coughed as he faintly said, "Although he had a lot of advantages, being a half android, his eternal weakness was his electric sup¡ªoh, wait, it¡¯s energy supply. Hence, as long as we smash him until his energy supply is exhausted, it will be over."

    Wang Chun: "..."

    Everyone else: "..."

    Energy exhaustion?

    How the f*ck was it this simple?

    Nowadays, with the advancement in energy-rted technologies, the energy supply in an android was generally capable of regenerating by itself. Some could even reach a level where the rate of regeneration was equivalent to the rate of exhaustion.

    Energy exhaustion?

    That was simply a joke.

    If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Chen Feng was the one who had uttered these words, Wang Chun would have spat all over the face of anyone else who would said this.

    Now, though...

    Wang Chun could only smile bitterly.

    As he recalled what had happened earlier, he somewhat understood what had happened.

    Chen Feng had used a huge amount of Wind des to destroy the bnce between energy exhaustion and regeneration of that half android. When the exhaustion far exceeded the regeneration, it would be problematic.

    Ultimately, exhausting all the energy avable for the android.

    When they understood what had happened, everyone exchanged nces. So this terrifying half android had been bombarded to death by Chen Feng?

    A magnificent unequaled war god had been transformed into scrap metal due to energy exhaustion?

    This, this, this...

    "This freak was too strong." Chen Feng looked at the luck values he had exhausted as his heart ached.

    Even if his spiritual energy had increased greatly, leading to the increase in quantity and quality of Wind des he could unleash, he had still exhausted 100 points of luck value.

    Too wasteful.

    Wang Chun: "..."

    Everyone else: "..."

    They had a feeling that Chen Feng was the actual freak instead of the half android.

    Too strong!

    The shock was more apparent on the shadow warriors. They all had dumbstruck expressions on their faces.

    Was this the supposedly ¡®weak,¡¯¡®frail,¡¯ and ¡®inexperienced due to young age¡¯ producer that the Gic Union had deployed them to protect?

    Who was the one doing the protecting now?!

    This wasn¡¯t a fake mission that they had epted, right?

    Suddenly, from the cave entrance that was filled with an ice-cold aura, a buzzing sound could be heard.

    "This sound..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    The incubated being was about to be birthed!

    "Guard here," Chen Feng said without hesitation. "I will go in and deal with it."

    "All right," everyone replied with somber voices.

    This was the incubated being, a unique mutated monster created using dark energy. Normal gic warriors like them would not be able to do anything to it. Instead, they might end up infected by the dark energy if they were to meddle with it.

    "Let Shen Wei follow you," Wang Chun said suddenly.

    Chen Feng was somewhat surprised. "Her?"

    Could it be that those who came from a different world couldn¡¯t be infected by the dark energy?

    "My me is capable of purging all evil!" Shen Wei said imposingly.

    Hua!

    Fire started raging on her huge sword. From the dense me, a faint trace of a bizarre aura could be felt. Perhaps this was the aura of justice that was capable of suppressing all evil from the legends?

    Chen Feng nced at Wang Chun with an odd expression. Whatic had this guy been reading?

    me of justice?

    What damnable world setting was that?

    Moreover, the fact that the same effect could be brought over to the real world from theic book¡¯s world made it even more bizarre.

    "Cough cough." Wang Chun coughed. "In short, the me possesses purifying capabilities."

    "All right." Chen Feng did not say anything useless as he looked at Shen Wei before saying, "Let¡¯s go."

    Shua!

    Both of them stepped into the ice cave.

    Hum¡ª

    A bizarre radiance flickered unceasingly.

    The incubated being was about to be birthed!

    Chen Feng stared ahead and saw that the cocoon containing the incubated being was already extremely thin. Within was a terrifying ck light that gleamed unceasingly. Evidently, the cocoon could split open at any moment.

    The moment the cocoon was broken would be the moment the incubated being was birthed.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng fished out all the purifying gene reagents he had.

    These were the purifying gene reagents specially prepared by the Gene Production Association. When used against the incubated being, its strength would be greatly weakened, giving Chen Feng the chance to eradicate the incubated being!

    Soon.

    Chen Feng fixed his gaze on the cocoon, waiting for the moment of its birth.

    Suddenly.

    "Ka!"

    A crack appeared on the cocoon.

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Extreme d.

    Xia Yan stared at the copsing figure on the screen with an unsightly expression.

    Dead.

    That terrifying half android, codenamed "Unequaled War God," who was so terrifying even she herself felt that he was dangerous, that extremely powerful guy had actually died.

    Furthermore, he had been yed to death by Chen Feng.

    "Trash!" Xia Yan was furious. He had sufficient strength, yet his brain seemed less capable than his strength. No wonder he had been the target of suppression by their organization.

    As for Chen Feng...

    This was not the first time he had shocked her.

    Xia Yan inhaled deeply as she rubbed her chest that was moving up and down unceasingly.

    The first time it had happened, her initially wless n had been seen through by Chen Feng, and she ended up losing one of her arms.

    The second time it had happened, Chen Feng had sessfully led that whole group of people to escape out of the Qin family¡¯s ruins. On top of that, he had even brought back some information that was not supposed to be leaked.

    Now, the same thing was happening!

    The organization was already dissatisfied with her. If this incubated being project was to fail...

    Xia Yan had an unsightly expression. She clearly remembered the words of her superior. The incubated being project was her final chance. If she failed even this mission, perhaps...

    "I can¡¯t fail," Xia Yan muttered. "I definitely can¡¯t fail this time!"

    Despite her confidence in the incubated being¡¯s strength, she would not allow any mishaps to happen. This was especially true when she had someone like Chen Feng lurking around.

    "Seems like there¡¯s only one thing I can do now," Xia Yan muttered.

    Gulp.

    She gulped down a bottle of gene reagent.

    "Hum¡ª"

    A terrifying radiance dispersed from her body.

    "Ah, ah, ah¡ª"

    She was hit by an immense pain, causing her to roll around on the ground. On the screen, her personal information appeared. On it, it could be seen that her attributes were changing constantly, ultimately dropping from D-ss to E-ss and losing 1,000 attribute points.

    After a long time, she crawled up with a pale expression.

    She walked forth with her swaying body and entered the area where the entry of those above peak E ss was restricted.

    "I¡¯ming..."

    Currently, in the ice cave, Chen Feng and Shen Wei were waiting for the birth of the incubated being.

    "Ka!"

    With a crisp sound, the crack started spreading. ck rays of light shone out of the cracks, covering the whole cocoon. From the crack, a pitch-ck yet dazzling radiance could be seen.

    "It¡¯sing!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were as sharp.

    Ka!

    Light started swirling.

    Chen Feng held onto the gene reagents in his hand tightly.

    Ka!

    The cocoon broke apart.

    Pieces of the cocoon dropped to the ground while a dazzling ck light shot out of it.

    It appeared!

    Instinctively, Chen Feng had the urge to toss his gene reagents out. However, when he got a clear look at the incubated being, he nked. This was because what appeared from the cocoon was a pretty boy that appeared to be 12 or 13 years old.

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed slightly. "What¡¯s going on?"

    Shouldn¡¯t the incubated being be a modified version of a dark freak?

    A freak should be the one that came out of the cocoon, right?

    This guy...

    The boy opened his eyes nkly. His had a pair of huge and pretty eyes that were notcking even whenpared with Shen Yi. "Where is this?"

    Shua!

    He shifted his gaze to Chen Feng.

    As his gazended on Chen Feng, life seemed to seep into those previously nk-looking eyes of his.

    Chen Feng looked at him curiously while he looked at Chen Feng curiously as well. A tinge of attachment flickered in his eyes.

    Chen Feng tried waving his hand. The boy waved his hand as well.

    Chen Feng tried blinking. The boy blinked as well.

    "This kid..."

    A tinge of emotion appeared on even the ice-cold expression of Shen Wei.

    This is...

    ?!!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped.

    Something seemed off with this mission!

    He was not a killing machine like those from the Gic Union. To suddenly discover that the target of his purification mission was actually a little boy, his acute senses told him that something somewhere seemed off.

    Would the problem lie on the Gic Union¡¯s side?

    Or perhaps...

    Some problems had arose in Xia Yan¡¯s experiment? From this boy¡¯s reaction, it seemed like he was treating Chen Feng and Shen Wei as his parents. If this was the case, perhaps...

    Chen Feng walked toward the boy with a smile on his face.

    He took the bait! Contempt shed in the lively big eyes of the little boy. Nobody saw it! Indeed, humans are an idiotic life form.

    Based on the information given by his intelligent chip, 90% of human would have an innate affection toward existences such as young boys or lolis, regardless of age.

    It was indeed correct!

    Such imprinted behavior was the main weak point of mammals. Amon word that could be used to describe this kind of innate behavior was "enchanted."

    When a human encountered an adorable animal, subconsciously, emotions such as "enchanted," "pity," "sympathy," and the like would ur.

    It was indeed correct!

    Chen Feng extended his hand. "Come."

    Shen Wei walked over as well. "So cute."

    A sweet smile appeared on the boy¡¯s face as he stretched out his hand to them as well. That pretty face of his was enough to shake a person¡¯s core. When one looked at it, it appeared so innocent, with no trace of impurity.

    Hum¡ª

    Their hands were going to touch soon.

    Come,e! the boy roared inwardly. As people who dared to hurt Master Xia Yan, you all need to die!

    Shua!

    Countless data flipped past his eyes.

    That¡¯s right.

    It was an intelligent chip!

    With help from the intelligent chip, he had disguised his appearance using dark energy and, with the assistance of a huge amount of information stored within the chip, started analyzing and deciphering the weakness of his enemies, using it to achieve his goal!

    This was what the incubated being was! This was also the direction in which Xia Yan¡¯s researches had always been focused on.

    Regardless of the half android earlier or this incubated being, they were created through abination of technology and gic abilities, creating an ultimate weapon.

    "Hum¡ª"

    A gush of terrifying dark energy swirled within his fingertips.

    Due to the formidable disguise used by the incubated being, no one should be able to see through him. As long as Chen Feng or Shen Wei touched him, they would definitely be assimted by the dark energy and might even be a part of the dark energy system!

    Hahahaha! Come! Inwardly, the young boy was feeling immensely proud.

    Hum¡ª

    Chen Feng and Shen Wei finally reached him.

    "Not good." Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed suddenly. "You..."

    I was found out!

    The boy sneered. For them to only notice it now, it was toote!

    As Chen Feng took a step back, the boy took the initiative to step forth and tried to touch Chen Feng. However, with a flick of Chen Feng¡¯s wrist, a row of gene reagents appeared and were immediately stuffed into his mouth.

    Wu!

    The boy¡¯s mouth was stuffed full with gene reagents.

    "???"

    Chen Feng smiled. "Do you know what mouth shot means?"

    "???"

    The boy had an ominous feeling as he grabbed toward his mouth, trying to pull those reagents out.

    Bang!

    An astonishing me radiated brightly.

    Before his eyes, that supposedly idiotic human female that seemed to be enveloped by a radiance of motherly love earlier was currently walking toward him with a terrifying ming sword in her hand. The bizarre aura emitted by the me terrified him.

    Pu!

    With a sword stabbed into his chest, he was nailed to the wall.

    Chen Feng sneered. "Explode!"

    Bang!

    Endless purifying energy started blooming.

    Disguise?

    What a joke.

    A Chen Feng who possessed a warning system formed using Luck Aura, and a Shen Wei that came from a different world¡ªin their eyes, a cute young boy like thiscked any sort of attraction.

    The pitiful, cute young boy did not even have the chance to say anything before beingpletely crushed by Chen Feng and Shen Wei.

    "???!"

    The boy stared at them with an unbelieving expression on his face.

    How was this possible?!

    Were the humans nowadays so cold blooded? It would¡¯ve been fine if it was only the male that was so cold blooded. But even that female... Where was the so-called motherly love?

    Moreover, being a newborn, when he was in a "nk" and "confused" condition where it was the best time to subdue him, for explorers that prioritized benefits above everything, wouldn¡¯t he be extremely alluring?

    The moment they managed to subdue him, it would be equivalent to them obtaining a great increase inbat power! Were they not enticed?

    ording to the data provided by the intelligent chip in his brain, 90% of humans would fall for this, while 9.9% of humans would maintain their vignce and continue their observation.

    As for these two?

    They had actually tricked him to get him near them before taking the chance to get rid of him?

    Were these two not humans?

    "How can you be so cruel?" Chen Fengmented as he saw Shen Wei¡¯s stab. "This little boy is so cute. How can you make your move against him?"

    "I¡¯m sorry." Shen Wei sneered. "In the world I came from, males do not exist."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    What f*ckingic had Wang Chun been reading?!

    "Oh oh¡ª" A dark aura enveloped the boy¡¯s body. "You both... deserve death!"

    His face twisted as the dark aura scattered around his body, healing his body constantly.

    However, he was rmed to find that the injury caused by Shen Wei¡¯s ming sword couldn¡¯t be healed. Instead, his injury was worsening!

    How was this possible?

    What on earth was this thing?!

    Chen Feng smiled as he looked at the boy. "This is the me of justice from a different world."

    Shua!

    He tossed out all his purifying gene reagents at the boy.

    Bang!

    A huge amount of purifying gene reagents flooded the incubated being.

    Shen Wei raised her huge ming sword and smashed the sword hilt toward the boy¡¯s forehead. The red light radiated dazzlingly as she said, "By my name, purify!"

    "Bang!"

    The fire raged.

    "Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah¡ª"

    Mournful screams started reverberating.

    And thus, the incubated being was owned by Chen Feng and Shen Wei. Finally, he copsed. The appearance of a cute boy on him disappeared as he turned into a clump of terrifying ck aura.

    "Now!"

    Chen Feng had a sharp gaze.

    Bang!

    Digital battle, activate!

    Chapter 194: Final Form!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Hum¡ª

    A boundless world appeared.

    Chen Feng¡¯s digitized world was somewhat chaotic. Apart from the firm earth and the gene fragments swimming randomly around, there were no other things with a fixed structure in it.

    The amount of gene fragments he had in here were already low in amount, as he had been using these gene fragments as representations of different numbers to change some of the problems he encountered in real life into matters of probability. Coupled with the instant mutation of these gene fragments when enemies were detected...

    The amount of gene fragments in his digitized world was simply not enough for his usage.

    Hence, this digitized world was totally barren whenpared with the digitized world of other master gene producers.

    The incubated being had a horrified expression when he was dragged in here. However, when he saw Chen Feng¡¯s digitized world, all his fear evaporated.

    "This is your digitized world?" The incubated being was stunned.

    Digital battles were one of the main killers of dark freaks. Hence, as a uniquely created dark freak, various information pertaining to ways of escaping from a digitized world had been transmitted to him by Xia Yan.

    Moreover, the difficulty level of the information that was transmitted to him was quite high.

    For example: digitized cage!

    After dragging a dark freak into the digitized world, the producer would directly trap the dark freak in a cage. He had to look for a way to escape this cage within a short period of time. This was one of hispulsory subjects during the tests conducted on him.

    However, in Chen Feng¡¯s digitized world, there was nothing.

    None of those terrifying cages.

    None of those huge amounts of soldiers.

    None of those unique chains.

    Not even a single weapon could be found here.

    This was simply the lowest difficulty digitized world he had ever encountered.

    One had to know that even a digital battle newbie would know some methods of using gene fragments to create a digitized weapon and a digitized shield.

    Here, though, nothing could be seen.

    Perhaps...

    He still had a chance!

    The incubated being was overjoyed.

    Bang!

    Clumps of ck aura started condensing as he transformed into a ck-colored monster that was simr in appearance to the monster Qin Hai¡¯s cousin had transformed into previously.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "Interesting."

    "Die!" the incubated being bellowed.

    Chen Feng waved his hand.

    Hua!

    A huge amount of gene fragments whizzed toward the boy and engulfed him.

    "???"

    The incubated being nked.

    How was this possible?!

    Digitized world!

    Those masterless gene fragments could only be controlled when the producer made these gene obtain mastery over them. Or else these gene fragments would only wander around aimlessly in the digitized world.

    It was simply impossible to control them.

    But here...

    He had clearly seen that those gene fragments were all masterless. However, it was these very masterless gene fragments that had been fully activated under Chen Feng¡¯s control. Akin to mini soldiers, they had submerged him.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    An explosion of gene fragments.

    The incubated being was flung away. Next, a sh of red appeared.

    A resplendent sh of red.

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    The terrifying red sh pierced through the incubated being.

    One time!

    Two times!

    ...

    After countless red shes, the incubated being ended up kneeling on the ground with numerous holes on his body. That originally intact ck-aura-formed body was now filled with holes.

    The incubated being was initially an extremely powerful being. However, under the double purification by Chen Feng and Shen Wei before being dragged into the digitized world, he simply had no chance of demonstrating his power before getting crushed.

    "How is this possible?"

    The incubated being stared nkly at Chen Feng.

    Bang!

    The heavily damaged body fell to the ground with a loud thump and transformed into ck aura before dispersing.

    Incubated being¡ªdead!

    Shua!

    Chen Feng returned to reality.

    Now that this incubated being was killed, he and Shen Wei had to leave here as soon as possible.

    However, surprising them, even after the incubated being¡¯s death, the restriction ced for those above peak E ss still remained here.

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    Chen Feng had an ominous feeling.

    Ka!

    Ka!

    A bizarre sound could be heard.

    Chen Feng and Shen Wei turned around to find that, at the entrance of the cave, a person was sprawled on the ground where the shell of the cocoon was and was swallowing the pieces of broken cocoon.

    Bang!

    Dark aura started bubbling.

    Chen Feng had a solemn mood. "Who?"

    A familiarughter echoed, "Hehehehehe..."

    That person raised her head, exposing a sinister and weird looking face.

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils constricted. "Xia Yan?!"

    How could it be her?

    Xia Yan!

    Wasn¡¯t she at D ss? Wait, when had she dropped back to E ss? Furthermore, even if she dropped her ss, she was still a producer, right?

    This fellow...

    "Bang!"

    Shen Wei took the initiative to make the first move.

    She did not have as many thoughts as Chen Feng.

    As a reincarnation of justice, she could feel the disgusting stench of the evil aura on Xia Yan¡¯s body.

    Pu!

    The ming sword that had never failed her pierced through Xia Yan¡¯s chest.

    Bang!

    me zed.

    Xia Yan¡¯s body turned into ashes.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. "Dead?"

    This woman had sneaked in here just to throw her life away?

    Impossible!

    Looking at the cocoon shells that had reduced in amount, Chen Feng could vaguely feel that something was wrong. When Shen Wei¡¯s mended on those cocoon shells, it actually failed to damage them.

    Vaguely, the color of the me turned ck.

    Chen Feng was shaken. "Not good! Retreat!"

    Bringing Shen Wei along, he retreated quickly.

    Just as they reached the cave entrance, a gust of terrifying aura erupted from the ice cave. The enormous mountain range directly burst apart from the eruption.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The mountain range crumbled as countless icy stones rained down.

    "What happened?" Wang Chun, who was outside the entrance, felt that something was wrong.

    "Go!" Chen Feng shouted.

    Everyone instinctively followed him as they retreated.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Terrifying boulders rained unceasingly, leaving numerous pits on the ground. Together with the boulders was the ck aura that was dropping like raindrops, corroding the ground and leaving numerous holes in it.

    Everyone started dodging, cutting a sorry figure doing so.

    Bang!

    The whole Extreme d was enveloped by a thick fog.

    Only an expanse of darkness could be seen.

    "What damnable thing was that?" Terror could be seen in Wang Chun¡¯s eyes. What the heck had Chen Feng done?

    "Who knows?" Chen Feng said grudgingly. "The incubated being was killed by us. Unexpectedly, Xia Yan arrived next. Although she appeared to have been killed by us..."

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The earth suddenly started trembling.

    Amidst the darkness, a huge silhouette appeared.

    Instinctively, everyone looked at it and immediately inhaled mouthfuls of cold air. That was actually a terrifying monster formed of ck aura with an appearance that was simr to a human yet not a human, simr to a monster yet not a monster.

    However, if one paid attention to its face...

    "Xia Yan?" Chen Feng said suddenly.

    "Hehehehe," the gloomy voice echoed, "Chen Feng..."

    Chen Feng was shaken. "It¡¯s indeed you!"

    This damnable freak was indeed Xia Yan!

    Although Shen Wei had killed Xia Yan¡¯s body, due to this woman eating the cocoon of the incubated being, her consciousness had transformed into a dark freak.

    She had modified all sorts of freaks. Ultimately, she had even transformed herself into a freak.

    Chen Feng sneered. "Is there a need for this?"

    Hatred could be seen from Xia Yan¡¯s eyes. "It¡¯s all your fault."

    Once, twice, thrice...

    Every single time, it was Chen Feng that spoiled her ns!

    Every single time!

    If it wasn¡¯t for Chen Feng, how would she have been forced to her current predicament?

    "Do you know?" A dazzling smile appeared on Xia Yan¡¯s face. "My goal has always been the fusion of technology and gic abilities. Regardless of the half android or incubated being, that has always been the goal I was trying to aplish. However, they were both wed, unable to reach my vision. That fact remained, until one day, I stumbled upon the most optimal mode, which is myself! I only need to transform my body into a body of energy. With the fusion of technology into my body, I will be able analyze everything. At the same time, I only need to modify my body, giving myself the ability to switch my body between spiritual and solid form at will, and I will be unrivalled! I can step into any world at all times! Regardless of whether the world is an illusionary or a real world!"

    Xia Yanughed wildly. "All this while, I did not have the guts to do this. Now, though... thanks to your actions, I have finally taken this step. The organization will be able to see the efforts I have put into this. As long as I kill you all, when I return to the headquarters, I will definitely be allocated more resources to continue my research. I will be the most unique existence in the organization. Those who looked down on me... and you as well, shall all pay the price! Hehehe."

    An intoxicated expression appeared on Xia Yan¡¯s face.

    "Such a feeling... splendid!"

 Chapter 195: Sorry

    Chapter 195: Sorry

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Hou Liang and the rest that had been guarding outside the Extreme d had an ominous feeling. For reasons unknown, as time passed, the aura emitted from the restricted area was bing increasingly terrifying.

    "It should be over soon, right?" Hou Liang muttered.

    This feeling...

    Something wasn¡¯t right!

    Suddenly.

    Bang!

    A ck beam of light shot up from the restricted area. The disgusting aura of dark energy started spreading furiously. That aura, with a power far surpassing peak E ss, shocked everyone there.

    "This is..."

    Everyone¡¯s expressions turned unsightly.

    Hou Liang¡¯s heart thumped. "Something happened!"

    Bang!

    An expert from the Gic Union tried entering yet ended up bounced away by an intense repelling force.

    The restriction was still in ce!

    "Since the restriction is still there, why has something so powerful appeared?"

    Everyone inhaled mouthfuls of cold breath.

    This was the restricted area! At most, only peak E ss should be allowed entry into it. This was also the reason they feltfortable with sending Wang Chun and Chen Feng in for this mission. But now...

    "How¡¯s the situation of Chen Feng and the group?" Hou Liang asked suddenly.

    "Let me check." Light glimmered in the hands of one of the gic warriors as he said, "The signals of the seven shadow warriors are feeble. They had probably suffered heavy injuries. Wang Chun and Chen Feng¡¯s life force are still as vigorous as before."

    Hou Liang exhaled in relief. "That¡¯s good, then."

    Due to the limitations of the restriction ced here, they could only detect the life force of Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    "Pay close attention to them," Hou Liang said with a deep tone. "If required, we shall break in with force!"

    "Understood."

    Everyone had solemn expressions.

    It was indeed possible for them to break in with force. However, the price they would have to pay for that was unimaginably high.

    The moment they decided to break in to save Chen Feng and Wang Chun, they would be required to exhaust a huge amount of resources and energy. On top of that, the experts they had hidden around would all need to expose their positions as well.

    If, at this moment, their enemies decided to make a move, they would definitely fail the mission.

    Everything they had done would have been for nothing.

    Hou Liang was sure that the experts from that mysterious organization were definitely concealed somewhere waiting for an opportunity.

    This was a war!

    Regardless of which side it was that was forced to make the first move, that side would be at a disadvantage!

    Currently, there was a surging undercurrent in the whole Extreme d. Amidst the cold wind, countless experts were hidden, waiting for an opportunity to make a move. Any single change in the restricted area might lead to a huge battle.

    At the same time, in the restricted area, in front of the ruined ice cave, Xia Yan was controlling her huge body as she walked around. The area was pervaded with ck aura as a gust of power so powerful it caused the heart of others to palpitate was birthed. This was the power resulting from thebination of Xia Yan and the incubated being.

    Ka cha!

    Ka cha!

    She returned and started eating those cocoon shells again.

    "Stop her!"

    Shua!

    Several shadow warriors made their move.

    Xia Yan waved her hand casually. "Scram!"

    Bang!

    The shadow warriors were flung away.

    Pu!

    Blood sttered everywhere.

    The shadow warriors that were already injured were flung far away andid on the ground, unconscious.

    "C ss..."

    Wang Chun inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    As he was now peak E ss, Shen Wei would be able to transcend sses to challenge those in D ss. Even when facing those at the peak of D ss, he had no fear. As for C ss?

    That would be a joke.

    "sh!"

    The ming sword in Shen Wei¡¯s hand erupted.

    Unlimited sh!

    Shua!

    Afterimages flickered around.

    A terrifying power was unleashed from Shen Wei¡¯s hand as it shed toward Xia Yan. However, shocking everyone there, the dense ck aura remained undamaged under the attack of this bizarre me.

    "Ka cha!"

    Another piece of cocoon was swallowed by Xia Yan.

    Bang!

    The me bloomed.

    Xia Yan paused as she threw a cold nce at Shen Wei before continuing to eat those pieces of cocoon.

    She was actually capable of ignoring Shen Wei¡¯s attack.

    "How is this possible?" Wang Chun howled.

    This fellow was so strong?!

    "Hateful." Shen Wei¡¯s slender and long leg stamped on the ground as she stared at Wang Chun resentfully. "If I can unleash even a small portion of my true strength..." Shen Wei snorted coldly. "Hmph, useless male."

    Wang Chun could only smile bitterly. Regardless of how strong he got, it would still be useless. The limit for entry into this ce was peak E ss! It was simply unimaginable for Xia Yan to use some unknown method to increase her power to C ss in this restricted area.

    The incubated being itself was the very thing that was restricting the ess to peak E ss and below. Any power surpassing peak E ss should be suppressed. It was simply impossible for those above peak E ss to enter this area. Even if they were to use some peculiar methods to enter this ce, they should not be able to disy a power surpassing peak E ss.

    This was a unique restriction formed with the body of that incubated being as the core.

    Originally, this restriction was supposed to disappear when that incubated being died. However, due to Xia Yan¡¯s fusion with that incubated being, the restriction here had remained in such a bizarre manner.

    However...

    Regardless of how they looked at it, Xia Yan should have been the one who was the subject of the most severe repression. It should have simply been impossible for Xia Yan to surpass the limit set by the restriction here.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng recalled the information pertaining to the incubated being he had seen previously.

    Incubated project...

    Dark energy¡¯s form...

    Combination of technology and ability...

    Xia Yan...

    Chen Feng thought knowingly.

    Soon, Chen Feng realized something. He discovered that, up until now, after mutating, Xia Yan had remained in this bizarre energy form without forming a proper human form. "Is it due to this body?"

    "You are very intelligent," Xia Yan said admiringly. "Unfortunately, for an ordinary dark freak, such as those who had transformed into a dark freak due to dark energy infection, even if their body could be changed into energy form, they still have to maintain a human form in order to disy their power. Unlike me... I have broken away from all limitations. I have broken away from the constraints of that dirty physical body, broken away from the constraints of a lowly existence known as a soul."

    "This... is what freedom tastes like."

    Ka cha!

    Xia Yan swallowed the final piece of the cocoon.

    A smile appeared on her dark-aura-formed face as she talked to Chen Feng while eating, akin to someone chatting during their dinner. This sinister appearance caused one¡¯s hair to stand at its sight.

    This woman...

    Hum¡ª

    Terrifying energy started bubbling up around Xia Yan.

    "Done." Xia Yan smiled. "Then, Chen Feng, this is my final ultimatum. Although you have spoiled a lot of my ns, I am still extremely interested in your talent and the legendary awareness you are said to possess. I can give you a single chance."

    Xia Yan¡¯s gaze appeared fanatical as she said, "Pledge your allegiance to me. We shall create an existence that is even more powerful."

    "I¡¯m sorry." Chen Feng expressed his regret. "I¡¯m not interested in an old woman."

    ...

    Xia Yan¡¯s expression froze.

    "You are courting death." Xia Yan¡¯s gaze became cold and sinister. It was rare for her to have such an appreciation toward a talent. "Fine. It doesn¡¯t matter anyway." A toying smile appeared on her face as she smiled faintly. "After killing and cutting you all into pieces, I can still conduct my research on your corpse when I return."

    Bang!

    The ck aura erupted.

    Shen Wei blocked in front of everyone. "Be careful!"

    Bang!

    The dense me collided with the dark aura.

    Pu!

    Shen Wei retreated several steps back as blood spurted out of her mouth. Xia Yan, on the other hand, was still perfectly fine.

    Chen Feng waved his hand. "Hmph."

    Xiu!

    Endless eruption of Wind des.

    Purifying Wind des!

    Ice-cold Wind de!

    ming Wind de!

    ...

    All sorts of odd Wind des with formidable might were instantly unleashed. However, all these Wind des merely phased through Xia Yan¡¯s body without dealing any damage to her.

    "How is this possible?" Chen Feng cried out in rm.

    "Hehe." Xia Yanughed sinisterly. After suffering so many losses at Chen Feng¡¯s hands, now that she got to see this shocked expression on Chen Feng¡¯s face, she felt an indescribable sense of pleasure.

    What a splendid feeling.

    Xia Yan licked her lips. "I will be sure to treat you nicely."

    Bang!

    The boundless dark aura instantly enveloped Chen Feng.

    "Be careful!"

    Everyone¡¯s expressions changed greatly.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    All sorts of attacks were unleashed toward Xia Yan.

    However, they were ineffective.

    Even Shen Wei¡¯s purifying me was useless.

    "Chen Feng?!" Wang Chun bellowed.

    He could do nothing except watch with his own eyes as Chen Feng was enveloped by that dark aura. Although he had always been jokingly saying that he was here to receive Chen Feng¡¯s protection, he was essentially still a gic warrior! Protecting Chen Feng was his mission! This was his obligation!

    Now...

    "Scram!"

    Golden light started radiating from Wang Chun¡¯s body as he stood up and punched toward Xia Yan.

    Bang!

    That terrifying gold radiance smashed toward the dark aura.

    Even without Shen Wei and Shen Yi, Wang Chun himself possessed an extremely powerfulbat power as well.

    However...

    Bang!

    His punch felt like it hadnded on cotton.

    Ineffective.

    Despite the strength of his concealed power, his attack was simply ineffective against Xia Yan who had reached a power equivalent to C ss, coupled with her ability to ignore all attacks.

    Hu¡ª

    Chen Feng was submerged within the boundless dark aura.

    It was over!

    Everyone¡¯s hearts chilled.

    However, at this moment, Chen Feng merely gulped down a bottle of gene reagent in a calm manner.

    1. Mutated turtlefungi gene reagent: A bizarre spiritual energy halo was formed around the user. Able to reduce 50% of spiritual energy requirement, which is equivalent to an increase of 50% in the user¡¯s spiritual energy effectiveness.

    2. Spiritual energy enhancing reagent: In a short duration, Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual energy was increased by onefold, increasing his current spiritual energy greatly.

    3. Mutated cuttlefish gene reagent: Temporary increase of his spiritual energy¡¯s effectiveness by 80%!

    Chen Feng had actually used all the methods he had used to increase his spiritual energy when he had passed the master producer¡¯s certification previously. However, due to the restriction ced here, his spiritual energy remained the same, without any increase.

    "What a pitiful kid... Regardless of how much your spiritual energy increases here, it will only remain at 1,000." Xia Yan looked at him yfully. "Aren¡¯t you someone capable of creating miracles? Why are you pathetically struggling here using such methods that are simply impossible of seeding?"

    Hum¡ª

    The dense dark energy invaded Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    She wanted to infect Chen Feng, turning him into her ally!

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "Is that so?"

    Shua!

    With a wave of his hand, his hand was inserted into the dark aura.

    Abruptly, the dark-aura-formed face of Xia Yan shuddered. That huge pair of pitch-ck eyes stared at Chen Feng with an unbelieving expression.

    "You... how is that possible!" Xia Yan screeched in terror.

    "Ah." Chen Fengughed lightly.

    Bang!

    Xia Yan¡¯s body started trembling violently.

    Suddenly, a thick and bright red line shot out of the dark aura.

    Xiu!

    The red sh shone dazzlingly.

    At this instant, that bright red sh erupted and started streaking back and forth, piercing through Xia Yan¡¯s body. On that dark-aura-formed body that was initially so powerful, numerous holes were created by that seemingly endless red sh.

    Unable to attack?

    Able to swap your body between illusory and solid form at will?

    Sorry...

    Xiao Ying is much more proficient at this than you!

 Chapter 196: The Worldâ€™s Fastest Man!

    Chapter 196: The World¡¯s Fastest Man!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    From the ice cave ruins, Xia Yan¡¯s terrified voice echoed out unceasingly. The dark aura trembled as she controlled her body to retreat hastily. However, it was ineffective.

    Pu!

    Pu!

    The red sh streaked back and forth.

    At this instant, the whole sky was covered by the radiance of that red sh.

    That red sh streaked around, leaving numerous arcs in the sky as it pierced Xia Yan¡¯s body continuously. Every single time it pierced through Xia Yan, a portion of the dark aura would disappear.

    The dark-aura-formed body of Xia Yan decreased in size without stop.

    "No!" Xia Yan was copsing emotionally. "How is this possible?! How is it possible for you..."

    Xia Yan stared at Chen Feng with an unbelieving expression.

    Death was not a scary thing. The moment she had joined the organization, she had already been prepared for death. However, she could not believe that the wless body that she had achieved through her whole life¡¯s research was actually being damaged by Chen Feng just like this.

    This was impossible!

    Xia Yan fixed her gaze on Chen Feng.

    What was the problem?

    Insufficient intensity of her body¡¯s transformation?

    Insufficient energy?

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Xia Yan¡¯s body moved without stop.

    However, it was useless.

    Every single time the red sh pierced through her, the dark aura would tremble violently.

    Soon, she was no longer capable of maintaining the activation of the unique body formed of dark aura and transformed back into a human¡¯s body as she slumped weakly on the ground. The terrifying C-ss power she¡¯d had was once again reduced back to peak E ss.

    "That thing..." Xia Yan fixed her gaze at Chen Feng and madly shouted, "Tell me, how did you do that?"

    "You are referring to this?" Chen Feng smiled before reabsorbing Xiao Ying back into his body with a wave of his hand.

    "Tell me!" Xia Yan was almost begging.

    "It¡¯s very simple." A faint smile was on Chen Feng¡¯s face as he whispered beside her ear, "If one wants to be mypanion, the ability to move freely between the real world and the spiritual world is a must-have."

    Companion? Must-have?

    Xia Yan nked momentarily before she startedughing madly.

    Too ridiculous!

    What was the so-calledpanion? This was clearly a pet!

    In order words, the wless body that had been the goal of her research for her whole life, the unrivaled power it possessed, was simply an ability that was also possessed by a pet of Chen Feng¡¯s?

    "Hahahahahaha!" Xia Yanughed till tears streamed down her cheeks. "Why did it turn out this way? Hahahahaha!"

    Sheughed wildly. However, her aura was weakening. Evidently, she wouldn¡¯t be able to hold on much longer.

    Currently, Wang Chun and the rest were exchanging nces with each other. One moment earlier, they had still been worried about Chen Feng. The next moment, he had beaten Xia Yan.

    Wasn¡¯t he too vigorous?!

    "I am now sure." Wang Chun smiled bitterly. "I am truly here to be protected by you."

    The others agreed with that sentiment.

    Protecting Chen Feng?

    Chen Feng alone was already stronger than all of thembined.

    This mission they had epted was truly... too depressing!

    Finally, as Xia Yan¡¯s aura weakened, the restriction ced for those above peak E ss started weakening.

    The restriction was going to drop soon!

    Chen Feng was in a solemn mood. He was aware that the reinforcements from both sides were going to appear soon. The true battle would descend upon this ce shortly.

    "Go!" Chen Feng said coldly.

    "Understood."

    Everyone retreated speedily.

    However, at this moment.

    Bang!

    The air trembled as a huge palm appeared in the air before it loudly descended upon Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    "Here ites!"

    Chen Feng was in a solemn mood. The true experts of that organization were finally making their move.

    Bang!

    The terrifying attack descended from the sky. However, Chen Feng¡¯s group was not feeling the slightest bit of fear, because at that very instant, the experts from Gic Union finally made their move as well.

    Bang!

    A ray of light appeared and smashed into that descending palm.

    "Haha. We have been waiting for you all for a long time."

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    The experts of the Gic Union showed themselves.

    Xiu!

    With a sh of light, four gic warriors emitting formidable aura from their bodies appeared. The one leading the group was enveloped by a resplendent radiance and had an out-of-the-ordinary temperament about him.

    Wang Chun¡¯s eyes shone. "It¡¯s him!"

    Chen Feng was curious. "You know him?"

    Wang Chun¡¯s emotions surged. "Of course."

    Never Second, an expert from the Sea City branch. A peak B-ss gic warrior with an incredibly fast speed. Moreover, all five of his gic abilities were speed rted, giving him an extremely powerfulbat power.

    His slogan was: No matter what I do, I am the fastest!

    This was a celebrity warrior. Simr to those celebrity producers, he was a gic warrior with countless fans.

    It was rumored that Never Second was already preparing to break through into A ss. This time, the fusion gene reagent that he nned to use was speed rted as well. The moment hepleted his breakthrough, he might be the world¡¯s fastest man.

    "Seems like the result of this battle is already decided, then."

    Chen Feng exhaled in relief.

    Did this not mean that their mission was done? It had been truly too hard. When experts at such a level started appearing here, their mission was considered to have ended. He decided that this time, after returning, he would have to harshly demand a huge amount of rewards from the Gene Production Association.

    "Mhm." Wang Chun nodded slightly as well. Despite the fact that this mission had been incredibly hard for them, it was still, after all, an E-ss mission. Now that the restriction had been removed, the Gic Union would be able to deal with the rest easily.

    Even peak B-ss experts had appeared. Was there any ce left for them to do anything?

    "Let¡¯s return," Chen Feng said.

    "Mhm."

    Everyone nodded their heads.

    It would be too dangerous for them to stay here in the midst of the battle between these experts. As they thought of this, they silently prepared to leave. Currently, Never Second erupted with his incredibly high speed. In a single second, he reached one of their enemies.

    So fast!

    Everyonemented.

    Such speed, even in the whole world, there wouldn¡¯t be many people capable ofpeting, right?

    Xiu!

    With a sh, a mournful scream echoed.

    "He killed one already?"

    Everyone raised their heads instinctively as a silhouette smashed into the ground.

    Bang!

    Blood sttered.

    Chen Feng¡¯s group identally caught a glimpse of that silhouette. Immediately, they were shaken to their core. That was because the person who had been insta-killed was Never Second that had still appeared so formidable a moment earlier.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone inhaled mouthfuls of cold air.

    "???"

    Chen Feng was stupefied. Brother, are you kidding me?

    Fastest speed? Yeah, the speed you take to die is indeed faster than even those feeders!!!

    "Is he a fraud?" He instinctively looked at Wang Chun. Nowadays, there indeed existed some who pretended to be those celebrity warriors. Perhaps, this guy was one of them...

    "It¡¯s really him!" Wang Chun said with a trembling voice. It was not possible for him to not recognize this person. That was truly Never Second! The celebrity warrior!

    At the same time.

    Bang!

    The air trembled.

    A dull-looking silhouette walked out of thin air. It was a middle-aged man with an imposing square face. When one looked at him, he did not appear extraordinary. However, from his hand, a stench of blood was emitting.

    It was him who had instantly killed Never Second.

    "Never Second!" several angry shouts resounded.

    The other, slower B-ss warriors from the Gic Union had finally arrived. Looking at the ice-cold corpse of Never Second, they charged angrily toward the middle-aged man.

    "Scram!"

    The middle-aged man pointed midair.

    Bang!

    A terrifying power erupted as the B-ss warriors were instantly flung away. Before this middle-aged man, they were actually incapable of resisting.

    "This..."

    Everyone inhaled mouthfuls of cold air.

    A ss!

    Only an A-ss gic warrior could do this!

    Wang Chun gulped. "This is bad."

    No one had expected that this organization would actually send an extremely powerful expert at the A ss. Had they gone insane? Or perhaps, was Xia Yan so important to them?

    "Hide!" Chen Feng said immediately.

    Shua!

    Noiselessly, they hid underneath the ice cave ruins, not daring to take a single step out.

    This time... things were truly getting dangerous.

    Currently, at the outeryer of the Extreme d, a shocked expression was stered on the faces of Hou Liang and the others. They had never expected that the lowest level mission involving the incubated being would attract an A-ss super expert here.

    "Have they gone insane?" Hou Liang howled.

    A ss! That was not some random vegetable at the market! For a peak E-ss mission, an A-ss super expert had actually appeared? What was wrong with this organization?

    "Reinforcement! Requesting for immediate reinforcements!" Hou Liang bellowed at hismunication tool. He believed that the Gic Union would be able to send some corresponding experts speedily. However, could those experts make it in time?

    A ss...

    What on earth are you all nning?

    Hou Liang fixed his gaze at the ice cave ruins.

    Now that the restriction was no longer in ce, with their spiritual energy, they could easily see what was happening there. He was sure that this incident was not as simple as it seemed. Something like a dark freak and incubated being was not worth the time of an A-ss expert.

    There had to be some secret behind this.

    At this moment.

    Suddenly.

    Light flickered.

    Beside the A-ss expert, several silhouettes started appearing. All of them had unremarkable appearances, where if they were to mix into a crowd, no one would notice them.

    However...

    A ss!

    A ss!

    All of them were A-ss warriors!

    That organization had actually sent five A-ss experts here!

    "Crazy. They must have gone crazy," Hou Liang muttered. He knew that something major had definitely happened.

    Some major incident they were unaware of had to have happened. This incident was what caused this mysterious organization to be so reckless and willing to sacrifice anything to achieve their goal.

    "Continue observing them attentively," Hou Liang told the scout. "If something really happens... even if we all die here... you must send the information back."

    Hou Liang looked at the young scout. This kid was quitecking inbat power, merely an ordinary scout. However, he had a unique ability: ignoring all barriers to transmit information.

    Even if a barrier was set here, he would still be able to send the information back.

    The scout¡¯s face flushed red. "Understood."

    "Then... we will have to see if we can to survive this," Hou Liang muttered.

    Chapter 197: Who on Earth Are You?!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the Extreme d, a terrifying aura pervaded the air.

    Chen Feng and the rest were hiding in the sheltered portion below the ice cave ruins. They were aware that it was impossible to avoid the detection of those experts; however, at the very least, this gave them a little sense of security.

    Not far away, Xia Yan¡¯s body was still trembling feebly.

    Chen Feng sighed. "This woman..."

    Killing a single Xia Yan had actually attracted the attention of such a powerful enemy?

    What on earth was the reason for that?

    "All this while, I thought that the situation where some big guys jumped out after you killed a small fry was something that would only happen to the student of a school."

    Wang Chun did not even feel like berating this. "If the reason for these A-ss bastards appearing is because they were Xia Yan¡¯s lover or father, I won¡¯t be in peace even if I were to die."

    "..." Chen Feng red furiously at him. "Are you not worried that they will overhear you?"

    "There¡¯s no problem," Shen Yi suddenly said gently with a faint glimmer in her hands. "I am not sure if I can block their detection; however, they definitely can¡¯t hear what we are saying."

    Concealment! This was what Shen Yi excelled at.

    "Thanks." Chen Feng nodded faintly as he stared ahead.

    Could they truly survive this?

    They were sure that the organization behind Xia Yan would definitely appear. Their original ns were made with the appearance of C- or D-ss reinforcements in mind. Unexpectedly, those who appeared were actually in A ss!

    Furthermore, there were five of them.

    Was it because A-ss warriors were simply toomon in this mysterious organization?

    Or perhaps...

    Xia Yan had a unique identity within the organization?

    Suddenly, the leader of the group started walking toward the ruins.

    Chen Feng and the rest held their breath and hid themselves carefully.

    Shua!

    That person reached the ruins. He was now only five meters from the position of Chen Feng¡¯s group. Moreover, Chen Feng could vaguely feel that their opponent¡¯s gaze was sweeping past him.

    Discovered!

    Chen Feng had a solemn mood.

    In actuality, before an A-ss expert, it was simply impossible for them to hide. They were now only hoping that this A-ss expert was uninterested in them...

    "Are you all here to save me?" Xia Yan asked weakly.

    When Never Second had appeared, she had given up on all hope. Unexpectedly, the organization had sent so many experts here to save her. This was the first time she had ever felt so touched.

    "Save you?" The leader of the group of experts nked momentarily before smiling calmly. "Don¡¯t worry. When we leave, we will bring you along."

    "?"

    A question mark appeared in Xia Yan¡¯s brain. What did this mean?

    Suddenly.

    That middle-aged man smiled as his gaze seemed to phase through theyers of ruins before locking onto Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    "Locked on!"

    The expressions of Chen Feng and the rest changed greatly.

    Retreat!

    They retreated without hesitation. What were these A-ss experts thinking about?

    No one knew.

    Crazy!

    These guys had ignored the dying Xia Yan and fixed their gazes on them instead?

    "Can you escape?"

    That middle-aged man smiled calmly.

    Bang!

    With a raise of his hand, radiance bloomed in his hand.

    Hum¡ª

    Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils constricted. He could clearly see that everything around him seemed to slow down as that terrifying beam of light streaked toward him.

    He could see it clearly yet was unable to dodge it.

    "Chen Feng!" Hou Liang bellowed.

    It was over!

    That was an A-ss expert!

    Even a casual attack by him was not something Chen Feng could take on.

    Bang!

    That terrifying beam of lightnded and a dazzling red radiance erupted instantly.

    "Bang!"

    A gust of terrifying energy started bubbling around the impact.

    Ka!

    Ka!

    Terrifying cracks started forming in the ground. A deep gorge was actually left on the icy ground that normal warriors found impossible to break.

    Was this the strength of an A-ss expert?

    Everyone¡¯s hearts trembled.

    Then, Chen Feng...

    Instinctively, they looked at the impact area and found with shock that Chen Feng was still at the same spot he had been at, standing to a different side of the newly formed gorge.

    A petite silhouette was in front of him, blocking the entirety of the attack from him.

    That was...

    Hou Liang¡¯s pupils constricted immediately. It was her!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled. "You arrived..."

    Wang Yao!

    It was actually her!

    For this mission, he had initially believed that the Gic Union had made all the appropriate preparations. Coupled with the increase in his strength, he had not notified Wang Yao about this. Unexpectedly, she had still arrived during his crucial moment.

    That figure in a red skirt before him had never appeared so enchanting.

    "It¡¯s been a while." Wang Yao still maintained her t tone.

    "Thank you."

    Chen Feng expressed his gratitude sincerely.

    "Don¡¯t worry about it..." Wang Yao shook her head slightly. "However, with this, what I owe you ends here."

    End here?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled. He remembered that Wang Yao had promised three favors to him. She had only helped him twice even after this time was included. Why had it be "ends here"? Was it due to their enemy this time being too powerful?

    In actuality, Wang Yao had long repaid him a value equivalent to the seadragon¡¯s blood essence he had given her.

    However...

    If her favor to him ended here, did that not mean that he would no longer have any chance to see her in the future? This youngdy that was cold yet so stubborn in fulfilling her promise...

    Shua!

    The other A-ss experts started approaching them.

    "Go!"

    Wang Chun dragged Chen Feng as they retreated.

    Chen Feng suddenly said, "It¡¯s not over yet! You still owe me one!"

    "..." Wang Yao¡¯s body trembled slightly.

    She turned around and looked at Chen Feng. In those cold eyes of her, for the first time, a trace of gentleness appeared. Apart from that, a never-before-seen bizarre expression could be seen from her eyes as well.

    That expression...

    Chen Feng had an ominous feeling.

    That was because he had suddenly thought of something. How powerful was Wang Yao actually?

    Every time Wang Yao appeared, she was akin to a divine warrior that descended from the heavens to save him. However, among her previous opponents, the strongest was merely at C-ss. This time, all five of their opponents were A-ss!

    Could Wang Yao...

    "If you stay here, you will only drag her down!" Wang Chun said softly.

    Chen Feng clenched his fists. "I know."

    Drag...

    This term felt so piercing to his ears.

    Wang Chun brought Chen Feng away. Surprisingly, those A-ss experts did not follow them. Instead, they stopped and surrounded Wang Yao with solemn expressions on their faces.

    "You finally appeared," that middle-aged man said with a heavy tone.

    What?

    Chen Feng was rmed. What was the meaning of this? Could it be that their final target had actually been Wang Yao?!

    "Let me introduce myself. I am Lei Hao, an A-ss gic warrior, the captain for this mission," Lei Hao said calmly. Against Wang Yao, he was using an extremely solemn tone. Moreover, a trace of cautiousness could be felt from his tone. "Starting from five years ago, the projects of our organization started receiving heavy damage. Regardless of our disaster projects or dark energy projects or even our mechanical projects, they would always receive a huge amount of damage during the crucial moments.

    "Every single mission. Every single project. During the crucial moment, there would be a person appearing out of nowhere. She would swiftly crush the whole project before vanishing quietly.

    "For five years, 72 projects were spoiled! We were always looking for this mysterious expert. Until one day... we finally discovered our enemy." As he said this, Lei Hao still found it unbelievable. "An 18-year-old youngdy, a girl that was able to maintain her appearance since childhood due to a gic mutation."

    Hua!

    Everyone¡¯s hearts trembled. Even those from the Gic Union were stupefied.

    They had never imagined that this petite-looking girl here had actually done so much through the years. Moreover, she alone had done more than what their organization as a whole had done.

    "You are very strong. So powerful it is inconceivable. From the projects you spoiled, we saw your potential. Increasing without stop from E ss, to D ss, C ss, and B ss... the level of our projects that you spoiled served as an indication of the constant increase of your strength." Lei Hao had a solemn expression. "Now... you have even started spoiling our A-ss projects."

    Every single word he said shocked everyone here.

    "Wang Yao..."

    Chen Feng was shaken. She had actually done so many things?

    As he put more thought into it, apart from being extremely cold toward those from the Wang family, deep inside, she was still a kind person. During the Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain incident, she had saved the other students as well.

    "What¡¯s the point of saying so much?" Wang Yao¡¯s expression was still calm.

    "We hope you can join our organization." A tinge of madness appeared in Lei Hao¡¯s eyes. "As long as you join us, we will forget everything you did before. You are worth that much! We believe that with your potential, in the future, you will be the arrogant child of the heavens in our organization! You could even be one of our leaders. If you choose otherwise..."

    Shua!

    His killing intent bubbled.

    Beside him, the other four A-ss warriors were eyeing her as well.

    Damn it!

    The expression of Hou Liang and the rest changed greatly. This organization had actually sent so many experts to force Wang Yao to join them. If she was truly as powerful as they said...

    The moment Wang Yao joined them...

    Everyone¡¯s expressions became unsightly.

    "Damn it!" Hou Liang looked at the flickering light on his wristband. The true experts of their side were on the way. As long as they arrived, these A-ss experts here would not pose much trouble.

    However...

    They needed time!

    Could Wang Yao drag this on any longer?

    Or would she join this organization?

    Everyone was anxious.

    However, at this moment, Wang Yao smiled suddenly.

    "Ah." Contempt in the tone of her voice with a trace of charm in it, she said indifferently, "Are these the words of your leader?"

    Lei Hao¡¯s expression changed slightly. "How do you know that?"

    "Ah." A smile appeared on Wang Yao¡¯s face. "It has been so many years. He is still the same old him with his habit of spurting nonsense out of his mouth all the time. If he truly wanted to let me be the leader, was there a need for him to start the immortality project?"

    Shua!

    The expressions of Lei Hao¡¯s group changed greatly.

    "Who on earth are you?!" Lei Hao bellowed.

    He roared. However, a trace of fear could be felt from that angry roar of his.

    This youngdy...

    Knows everything?

    "Who am I?" Wang Yao shook her head. "It¡¯s no longer important."

    Bang!

    At this instant, a terrifying radiance bloomed. That beautiful red skirt on Wang Yao¡¯s body ignited, transforming into an intense me. The terrifying power contained within her bloomed and erupted instantly.

    Bang!

    The earth trembled.

    The entirety of Extreme d, in a single instant, became filled with nothing but red.

    Wang Yao pointed her sword at Lei Hao. "Come!"

    Battle!

    She was...

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled.

    At this moment, he finally understood what she meant when she said "ends here" earlier. That was because she was aware that she might not survive to repay him the third favor.

    That final gaze of hers... was a farewell to him!

    "For thest time," Lei Hao said with a cold expression, "join us, or else¡ª"

    Bang!

    Wang Yao shed with her sword.

    "Seems like there¡¯s nothing to talk about anymore." Lei Hao sighed. "If so, then, goodbye."

    Hum¡ª

    A bizarre aura dispersed from Lei Hao¡¯s body.

    "What is he nning?"

    Everyone had a solemn mood.

    However, at this moment, the other A-ss warriors made their move as well.

    "Bang!"

    One of them waved his hand.

    A half-illusory mountain appeared in the sky and started descending. At this moment, the whole world seemed to darken beneath this mountain.

    Mount Tai¡¯s Suppression ¨C a 5-star secret art.

    An ability formed through the fusion of five different gic abilities. With this ability, one would be able to produce an incorporeal mountain formed with spiritual energy to suppress one¡¯s enemy.

    Anyone who was the target of this ability¡¯s suppression would have to endure a frightening shockwave.

    Shua!

    The mountain smashed toward Wang Yao.

    Wang Yao raised her right hand, cing her fair and tiny hand above her head.

    "Bang!"

    The earth trembled.

    "Rise!"

    A dense me started burning around Wang Yao.

    Within the intense me, Wang Yao¡¯s delicate body appeared so very tinypared to the mountain. However, she sessfully blocked this huge attack.

    Ka!

    A deep footprint was left on the icy ground below her feet.

    Blocked!

    Everyone¡¯s hearts throbbed.

    This was a 5-star secret art! A 5-star secret art used by an A-ss gic warrior!

    She had blocked it just like that?

    However, the A-ss warriors did not find this surprising.

    Beforeing here, they had done a lot of investigating. They were clear on Wang Yao¡¯s strength and were not counting on this single Mount Tai¡¯s Suppression to be able to suppress Wang Yao.

    This move had only been used to restrict her movement.

    "Shua!"

    The second person made his move.

    "Hum¡ª"

    In the air hovered nine miniature suns with different colors. Every single one of them was burning with an intense heat. Every single one of them was shining with a dazzling radiance.

    Go!

    That person pointed.

    Bang!

    Abruptly, the nine miniature suns started shooting terrifying beams of light.

    Their target being Wang Yao.

    Nine beams with different colors, nine beams with terrifying amounts of energy contained within, at this moment shot forth toward Wang Yao from the dazzling suns.

    "Whoosh!"

    The icy ground below each light beam started melting. Every single one of these beams was so terrifying that one¡¯s heart palpitated just looking at it.

    The Region of Nine Suns ¨C A 5-star secret art.

    An ability formed through the fusion of five different gic abilities. Through thebination of gic abilities, nine beams with different attributes would be created. After reaching their target, these beams would fuse together before reacting with each other to blossom with even more power.

    "Bang!"

    Everyone looked at the blossoming beams in front of Wang Yao.

    "Block!"

    A crisp sound could be heard.

    Gently, Wang Yao raised her left hand.

    With this, the nine beams stopped. Before they could even fuse, they were blocked by the ming shield on Wang Yao¡¯s left hand.

    "Hmph."

    With a snort, the third person made his move.

    Another terrifying 5-star secret art was used. This time, a terrifying ice storm was unleashed as it started wreaking havoc. Everywhere the storm passed,yers of earth were torn from the icy ground.

    The storm raged while the ground sunk three meters downward.

    This was the terrifying ice storm. He activated the storm andpletely submerged Wang Yao in it. However, that shining ze within the storm remained, appearing incredibly dazzling.

    She had blocked the nine suns attack with her left hand and the Mount Tai attack with her right hand, and the burning red skirt on her body resisted that ice storm.

    "So strong!"

    Everyone was shocked.

    For her to resist three A-ss gic warriors so easily, how powerful was this youngdy?

    "Scram!" said Wang Yao with a cold look in her eyes. Around her, boundless mes started blooming.

    Her zing skirt, at this moment, disyed an astonishing amount of power.

    Bang!

    Mount Tai¡¯s Suppression...

    The Region of Nine Suns...

    The ice storm...

    All the attacks were destroyed by the me.

    Bang!

    A terrifying explosion.

    All the attacks were crushed as the whole Extreme d trembled violently. A huge abyss was created from the impact.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The whole Extreme d trembled.

    At the same time.

    Hua¡ª

    A flood of endless icy water gushed forth.

    Underneath the depths of Extreme d, at this moment, a mystical icy water started gushing out. With its emergence, all other auras at the surface disappeared.

    The abyss turned into a violent flowing river.

    Bang!

    The azure-colored water surged forward, creating a broad river.

    Hua!

    The water gushed out without stop.

    Calm returned to the Extreme d.

    "This..."

    Everyone inhaled mouthfuls of cold air.

    This icy water was a legend of this Extreme d. It was also the most dangerous existence here.

    It was even more dangerous than these A-ss experts here. That was because this icy water was capable of rendering all gic abilities ineffective.

    It was rumored that this ce was originally a huge Ice River. As there had been too many deaths here, in order to assure the safety of others, several super experts had joined hand to seal this Ice River, constructing a freezing world above the river. This was how the Extreme d came into being.

    Everyone believed that this was simply some old folklore. Now, though...

    The icy water of the Ice River had appeared!

    "The legend is actually real. Beneath the Extreme d, there is really an Ice River! The legendary water capable of rendering all gic abilities ineffective..."

    Everyone was shocked. What they saw and experienced today was something that was so much more colorful even whenpared with the whole life of some others. They had actually broken the ancient seal ced at this ce. The entirety of Extreme d had now changed because of this.

    They knew that this ce would most probably once again end up as a forbidden area.

    It was rumored that the icy water would lose its effect once it left the Ice River. However, only here at thisnd of the Ice River was it able to render all gic abilities ineffective.

    In the future, this would be the forbidden ground of all gic warriors.

    "Their battle actually caused this to happen?"

    Everyone trembled.

    They knew that A-ss warriors were extremely powerful. However, they had never expected it to reach this level. Regardless of the A-ss experts or Wang Yao, these were all existences at a height that some of them might not reach in their whole lives.

    Perhaps...

    They might truly be able to survive this time?

    However.

    Right at this moment.

    A power that caused one¡¯s heart to palpitate suddenly started blooming. Instinctively, everyone looked at the direction the aura wasing from. With shock, they found that a mystical symbol had appeared on Lei Hao¡¯s forehead.

    Lei Hao sneered as the symbol on his head started radiating. "Let this end."

    "Not good."

    Everyone¡¯s expressions changed greatly as a lot of them recognized what this symbol signified.

    Verbal Compliance Law.

    A 6-star secret art!

    A secret art formed through the fusion of six different gic abilities that possessed the power to destroy the heaven and earth. Its weakness was the long preparation time required to activate this ability.

    Now...

    He was done with his preparations.

    When the three experts had attacked earlier, they were simply buying time for him to prepare his ability.

    This was the only attack that could be considered a killing move. Against this unique opponent they were currently facing, they definitely had to use the strongest method avable to them. Only by using a 6-star secret art could they secure victory.

    This was the strongest method avable among A-ss warriors; it had no other contenders.

    If this ability was used to attack, it would be the strongest attack. If this ability was used to defend, it would be the strongest defense. This was what it was, an omnipotent 6-star secret art.

    Shua!

    He took one step forward and pointed at Wang Yao before softly saying, "Kill!"

    Bang!

    The symbol on his head instantly vanished.

    That shining symbol, at this instant, charged toward Wang Yao with a speed as fast as lighting.

    At this instant, the whole world seemed to have its color changed.

    "Not good!"

    Everyone¡¯s expressions changed greatly. A 6-star secret art was the strongest ability an A-ss warrior could muster. As for this Verbal Compliance Law, it was simply the strongest and most unrivaled ability among all 6-star secret arts.

    Since the reinforcements from the Gic Union were not here yet, if Wang Yao were to die now, they would probably all die here as well.

    What to do?!

    Everyone was agitated.

    However, at the same moment the Verbal Compliance Law attack was unleashed, a bizarre energy started snaking up around Wang Yao¡¯s body. Like an undtion of energy, it noiselessly dispersed.

    Shua!

    Instantly, the undtion enveloped the whole area.

    Time seemed to freeze.

    The Mount Tai that descended from the sky, the iparably mysterious nine suns, and the icy storm that was wreaking havoc, at this moment, all of them stopped moving.

    Furthermore...

    Including that iing Verbal Compliance Law as well, everything stopped.

    Only a sh of a faint afterimage could be seen moving. If one could get a clear look at it, one would be surprised to find that the silhouette was Wang Yao herself.

    Shua!

    With a flicker, Wang Yao vanished before reappearing beside a person.

    With a flicker, Wang Yao vanished once again.

    "What..."

    They watched this scene in shock.

    Hum¡ª

    Wang Yao¡¯s silhouette flickered around everyone there. Her delicate silhouette was akin to a butterfly that was fluttering gracefully as she gracefully drifted past the five A-ss experts.

    After that, time seemed to start moving again.

    At the ice cave ruins, the air remained stifling.

    Wang Yao was in the same spot, staring calmly at Lei Hao. The Verbal Compliance Law¡¯s symbol had almost reached her.

    At this instant.

    Pu!

    Blood sttered. The first A-ss experts that Wang Yao¡¯s silhouette shed past, the guy who had used Mount Tai¡¯s Suppression earlier, was currently grasping at his own neck with an unbelieving expression before copsing loudly.

    Pu!

    The second copse!

    The third copse!

    "This..."

    The rest widened their eyes in terror. This was a skill they recognized. This was a skill they had seen before!

    A 6-star secret art!

    It was not an all-rounded ability like Verbal Compliance Law. Rather, it had a more terrifying characteristic. It was a skill capable of ignoring distance and ignoring the number of opponents to lock onto the opponents before killing them.

    It could kill all opponents instantly!

    This was an extremely powerful ability. However, it was a secret art that required the fusion of six space-type gic abilities for its activation. Wang Yao was obviously someone possessing at least three or four fire-type gic abilities. How was it possible for her to use this ability?

    How was it possible?

    They widened their eyes, unbelieving.

    Pu!

    Blood sttered.

    Next...

    The fourth copse!

    Pu!

    Another sh.

    Oddly, with a sh of blue on that person¡¯s body, he merely suffered light injuries instead of copsing like the others. This was the A-ss expert that had yet to make a move. It was very probable for his ability to be defense rted.

    Currently, the silhouette appeared by Lei Hao instantly. At this instant, the Phantom sh¡¯s power was pushed to its limit.

    Bang!

    The silhouette erupted.

    However, at this instant, a huge celestial body appeared around Lei Hao¡¯s body. It assumed the appearance of the Scorpio constetion formed of countless stars, blocking the iing attack.

    Bang!

    The celestial body crumbled.

    The huge Scorpio turned into countless stars.

    Pu!

    Blood sttered.

    A bloody scar appeared on Lei Hao¡¯s face.

    This...

    Everyone¡¯s hearts throbbed as they looked at the fourth expert.

    Celestial Body¡¯s Shield!

    A 6-star secret art that required at least six types of gic abilities. Through these abilities, the power of the stars could be directed to construct an absolute shield with astonishingly powerful defense.

    He had blocked it!

    And now, the Verbal Compliance Law reached Wang Yao.

    The blooming me on Wang Yao¡¯s red skirt vanished instantly.

    From a cursory nce, nothing seemed to have happened to her.

    Now, when everyone looked at the battle, their hearts trembled. This was simply a battle like no other. With five A-ss experts against Wang Yao and all sorts of secret arts used, it had ultimately ended with three dead and two injured on the A-ss experts¡¯ side.

    And all this only took a single instant to happen, only a single move by Wang Yao.

    Bang!

    Three corpsesnded loudly, never to get up again.

    Lei Hao rubbed the wound on his face. The hand he used was painted with blood as it came into contact with his injured face. His expression appeared incredibly solemn. "You are so much stronger than we had anticipated. What a pity..."

    The A-ss expert that had used the Celestial Body¡¯s Shield earlier was standing beside him.

    In front of them, Wang Yao was still standing there maintaining her calm expression. No hints could be seen from her face as to her current condition. However, a drop of blood dripped down along her right hand before finallynding on the ground.

    She had sustained injuries.

    "Indeed," Wang Yao muttered. "Did I push it too hard?"

    She was confronting five A-ss gic warriors, after all. Moreover, as A-ss warriors of this mysterious organization, which of them was without formidable strength? Taking on five of them alone was still too forceful after all.

    Although she¡¯d seen thising, she still felt this way.

    Pity.

    She sighed inwardly. There were still a lot of things she needed to do.

    Currently, Hou Liang¡¯s wristband buzzed. As he took a look, a joyful expression appeared immediately. Those dispatched experts would be arriving soon.

    Soon!

    Five more minutes and they would be here!

    Hou Liang clenched his teeth. Wang Yao... you must keep it up!

    The rest were staring unwavering ahead as well.

    If it was probable, if there was even a tiniest of possibility for them to be of help, they would have proceeded to help. Unfortunately, they were incapable of it. With their strength, even if they were to move forth, they would simply be baggage. This was the saddest part of their current circumstance, for both gic warriors and gene producers alike.

    Without sufficient strength, they would only end up delivering their life away.

    "Wang Yao..."

    Everyone inwardly chanted, You must survive!

    However, would Lei Hao¡¯s group not realize the importance of time?

    "Those fellows will be here soon right?" Lei Hao sneered. "If so, then goodbye, little girl."

    Bang!

    Light swirled as he once again made his move.

    This time, though, he was no longer using Verbal Compliance Law. Instead, he was using lone gic abilities mixed with the asional 2-star and 3-star secret arts between his attacks. However, these attacks were sufficient for...

    Bang!

    The ming sword in Wang Yao¡¯s hand shattered.

    Bang!

    Another round of attack.

    Wang Yao started bleeding.

    Blood...

    Dripped without stop.

    "Hmph." Lei Hao sneered. "The target of the Verbal Compliance Law is not your body. Instead, it¡¯s your spirit and consciousness. I am truly astonished that you can survive that attack¡ªseems like you are much more powerful than we imagined. However... even if you survived by a fluke, so what? Even if the Verbal Compliance Law failed to kill you, it was still able to inflict heavy injuries on you. Now, with your heavily injured spirit and consciousness, how much of your power can you still wield?"

    "Bang!"

    Wang Yao was flung away.

    Pu!

    Her petite body smashed into the ground, leaving a long bloodstain on it. Her whole body was already blood red, seemingly blending with that red skirt of hers.

    She... couldn¡¯t hold on anymore.

    "Wang Yao!"

    Everyone clenched their fists, desperation in their eyes.

    Never in their life had they hated their powerlessness more. To actually require a little girl to battle for them, to bear the weight of the world from crumbling down upon them.

    Soon...

    Soon!

    Hou Liang was anxious. He had been paying close attention to the ticking clock and the coordinates of the approaching reinforcements.

    One minute!

    Only one more minute and they would be here!

    You must hang in there!

    "Wang Yao..."

    Wang Chun was shaken as well. He had never known how terrifying this quiet cousin of his was. He was also not aware that this entric cousin that was constantly denounced by a lot of their elders was in actuality such a person.

    Cousin... you must hang on!

    However, due to the battle being too intense, due to the high amount of experts, in this huge battle, everyone had neglected a single person. A person who they were supposed to be paying attention to, and also a person that had always remained at the center of the battlefield.

    Xia Yan!

    She was still alive!

    "Hehehehe, ah..." Xia Yan screamed pitifully.

    She had never imagined that this would be how she ended up. She had finally understood everything. The organization¡¯s so-called final chance for her was simply a lie. She was merely bait. A bait sent by the organization to lure Wang Yao out.

    Despite the fact that this final mission had already been confirmed three years ago. Despite the fact that this was the final stage of her dark freak project...

    Xia Yanughed crazily. "Hahahaha!"

    It was fake!

    All fake!

    She had dedicated her whole life to this organization. For research, to be a legend, to obtain the reverence of the masses, she had done everything she could to obtain more resources, regardless of the cost.

    However...

    This was how she was repaid?

    Vaguely, she saw a shback from back then, when there had been a refined middle-aged man who once looked amiably at her as he asked her if she was willing to be his student.

    "Teacher, I¡¯ming..."

    Xia Yan¡¯s sight blurred.

    Her badly damaged body crawled with difficulty toward Lei Hao.

    Currently, as Lei Hao¡¯s group saw Xia Yan, they merely gave her a cold nce. This woman really believes that we will save her even now? Forget it. I can¡¯t be bothered about her. I can just bring her along afterpleting this mission if she is lucky enough to crawl to a safe area by herself.

    Lei Hao¡¯s group did not think much of her. This was because all their attention was currently on Wang Yao. Against this young girl with terrifying strength, they did not dare to ck. One¡¯s final attack before death would be the scariest attack of all.

    "Be careful."

    They approached her carefully.

    However, at the same time, as Xia Yan reached their side, she suddenly moved and hugged their feet.

    "?!!"

    Lei Hao¡¯s expression changed abruptly. "What are you doing?!"

    "What am I doing? Hahahahaha! Naturally, I am dragging you all down to die together with me! Hahahahaha!"

    Xia Yanughed crazily.

    Damnable organization! Damnable A-ss warriors! Die!

    Bang!

    A terrifying dark energy bloomed instantly.

    Xia Yan had exploded her own body.

    That heavily damaged body of hers, that body containing a unique energy within it, at even her final moment, was still disying a stunning might.

    Despite the fact that it was only a power at peak C ss.

    Bang!

    Hum¡ª

    The familiar celestial body appeared once again.

    A single defense of this celestial body easily blocked this attack from Xia Yan. A power at such a level, despite its terrifying power, was still not sufficient to damage them.

    "Crazy woman," Lei Hao cursed.

    However, as they once again prepared to resume their attack, they were rmed to find that Wang Yao had disappeared.

    "Be careful!" Lei Hao warned instinctively.

    Hum

    The shining Celestial Body¡¯s Shield appeared once again. They had to defend against the dying Wang Yao¡¯s counter kill of desperation. However, when their spiritual energy covered the whole area, they found with astonishment that Wang Yao was actually only roughly 100 meters from them...

    A youngster that looked like a student was carrying Wang Yao as he ran desperately.

    He was actually nning to flee with Wang Yao?

    "Run??"

    Lei Haoughed at this sight.

    So the students nowadays are ignorant to such an extend? Running? Running from two A-ss warriors?! Naive!

    A distance of 100 meters was a distance they could cover instantly.

    Chapter 200: A Single Reason Is Sufficient

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In front of the ice cave ruins, an astonishing scene was ying out. Not only Lei Hao. Wang Chun, Hou Liang, and the rest were all stupefied, as the one escaping with Wang Yao was Chen Feng.

    "Damn!" Wang Chun cursed. This idiot! What the heck is he thinking? Those are A-ss warriors. Moreover, the strongest two A-ss warriors!

    It was no wonder that he kept having an odd feeling that Chen Feng had remained strangely silent all this while. He had nced at Chen Feng several times during the battle to find that, apart from paying close attention to the battle, Chen Feng was not paying attention to anything else.

    Surprisingly, just as he had cked his attention from Chen Feng, Chen Feng had rushed out. This madman! Did he truly believe that he could save Wang Yao? Nope. By rushing out, the only thing he could aplish was throwing his life away.

    "Damn it!"

    Hou Liang was bursting with rage as well.

    At times like these, what was the point of charging out? Only one minute was left before their reinforcements arrived! As long as Wang Yao couldst one extra minute, she would definitely survive this. Even if things got worse and Wang Yao was to die after one minute, Lei Hao¡¯s group would not dare to remain an extra second here anyway.

    With this, Wang Yao¡¯s sacrifice would be worth it.

    But now?

    Chen Feng had rushed out. He would probably die. Wang Yao¡¯s sacrifice would be in vain as well.

    "Crazy! He must have gone crazy!" everyone muttered.

    They knew that Chen Feng wouldn¡¯t evenst more than one second before that A-ss expert.

    **

    In actuality, Chen Feng had waited for a very long time. He¡¯d kept wondering, to save Wang Yao or not? Regardless of how powerful she was, was she worth rescuing?

    As long as Wang Yaosted long enough for their reinforcements to arrive, they would definitely be saved. Under such circumstances, was there a need for him to put his life on the line to save her?

    Making the decision based on what would benefit him most?

    He had put a lot of thought into it. However, ultimately, he had still decided to follow his heart.

    Save!

    The reason was simple: he liked this young girl.

    This one reason alone was sufficient for him to make his move.

    At an unknown time, the silhouette of this little girl had been imprinted in the depths of his heart. Was it due to her saving him numerous times previously? Or was it... due to that proud yet kind heart of hers? He had no answer for that. However, after rebirth, if he did not even have the courage to like someone, wouldn¡¯t it be too sad?

    Moreover, she had still appeared and blocked an attack for Chen Feng despite knowing clearly that she might not survive the encounter with the five A-ss warriors.

    This one point alone was worth Chen Feng saving her.

    Was she doing this for the two favors she still owed him?

    Sigh.

    Chen Feng sighed. How had he fallen in love with such a stubborn young girl?

    Naturally, he still needed to rescue her despite hismentation.

    He was not nning to throw his life away. As such, he had been waiting all this while, waiting for the most opportune moment. From the moment Lei Hao¡¯s group had started their battle with Wang Yao, Chen Feng had been waiting, right up until the instance where Xia Yan erupted¡ªhe knew that was his chance.

    Shua!

    The ice-cold temperature of that area pierced his bone. Chen Feng embraced Wang Yao tightly. Only at this did he feel a trace of warmth.

    Charge!

    Charge!

    Chen Feng charged away.

    In ordance to his n, not a single second could be wasted. Only with this would there be a chance of survival. nning before acting, this was the lifeline that he needed to fight for with his life.

    Wang Yao¡¯s weak voice travelled to his ears. "You shouldn¡¯t havee out."

    Chen Feng curled his lips. "You shouldn¡¯te have out either." If Wang Yao had remained hidden, would these A-ss warriors have been able to locate her? However, she had still decided toe out, blocking in front of Chen Feng when Lei Hao had tried to kill him.

    "It¡¯s different. They are only here for me. Put me down. I can still resist several moves from them," Wang Yao said weakly.

    "!!!"

    Chen Fengughed out loud from his anger.

    Resisting several moves?

    She probably means resisting for one more minute. Godd*mnit. Everyone seems capable of calcting the reinforcement¡¯s arrival time urately. Hou Liang calcted it urately, Lei Hao calcted it urately, even Wang Yao calcted it urately.

    Lei Hao had calcted the time urately in order to kill Wang Yao before the reinforcements arrived.

    Wang Yao had calcted the time urately to obstruct Lei Hao long enough for the reinforcement to arrive.

    Hence, the ultimate result should have been Wang Yao¡¯s death, Lei Hao¡¯s departure, and everyone else saved?

    F*ck that shit!

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Is this worth it?"

    "This is... what I owe you," Wang Yao said weakly. "Hence... let me down. I will drag him down until they arrived. However, this time, this can be considered as two favors repaid, right? The three favors... let me repay them all before I leave this world."

    "!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled.

    This fellow...

    Even now, she was still thinking of the three favors?

    He wanted to scold her, to tell her that she was losing her life soon; however, his words couldn¡¯t leave his mouth. A warm current blocked his chest, giving him an ufortable feeling.

    "All my life, only two people have sincerely helped me. One of them was Wang Yue... At my moment of desperation, he begged for mercy on behalf of me, despite the fact that his begging wasn¡¯t really effective...

    "The second one was you. Even at this moment, you still stepped out to save me. Hence, I don¡¯t want to depart this world still in debt to you... that way, I won¡¯t be able to pass peacefully." Wang Yao¡¯s voice was weakening.

    "Shut up!" Chen Feng shouted.

    Wang Yao looked at Chen Feng with a serious expression. "I do not fear death."

    Chen Feng gave her a deep gaze before saying, "But I fear your death."

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Chen Feng was still running.

    He knew that Xia Yan wouldn¡¯t be able to hold Lei Hao for long.

    Indeed.

    At this instant, the dark energy blooming from Xia Yan finally faded. Immediately, an ice-cold consciousness could be felt locking onto him. That was Lei Hao¡¯s aura!

    He had been discovered!

    Time!

    Time!

    Chen Feng was in a solemn mood. He needed time!

    He knew that Lei Hao only needed a single instant to kill him.

    What to do?

    Chen Feng¡¯s brain moved rapidly.

    Luck Aura, activate!

    I need time! Regardless of what coincidences are created, regardless of whether its probability or reality that is affected, regardless of the amount of luck values exhausted, I need time! Chen Feng roared inwardly.

    Bang!

    Lei Hao¡¯s attack wasing at him.

    Hum¡ª

    Full activation of Luck Aura.

    At this instant, Chen Feng could acutely feel the rapid decline of his luck value.

    Instead of being rmed, he was instead overjoyed. That was because this meant that it was working.

    "Bang!"

    Suddenly, the earth started trembling.

    When the A-ss attack unleashed by Lei Hao was about tond on Chen Feng, suddenly, a certain cunk of the ground broke apart as a torrent of icy water gushed up from underground.

    Bang!

    The surging water collided with Lei Hao¡¯s attack.

    Shua!

    Subsequently, nothing happened.

    Lei Hao¡¯s attack vanished in an instant. After the sudden eruption of the icy water, it returned underground, dragged by gravity. The area returned to its previous situation, as if nothing had ever happened here.

    "???"

    Lei Hao was rmed.

    What was going on?!

    He was aware that the Extreme d had changed greatly, as without the seal, the icy water would gush out of the underground at any time. However, for it to perfectly block his attack... How unlucky was he for that to happen?

    "Hmph!" Lei Hao snorted. "I refuse to believe..."

    "Bang!"

    Another terrifying attack was shot out by him with Chen Feng and Wang Yao as the target.

    However, as that attack was about tond on Chen Feng, somewhere five meters from Chen Feng, a gush of icy water suddenly shot out of the ground and noiselessly blocked Lei Hao¡¯s attack.

    How was this possible?!

    ??

    Lei Hao had a dumbstruck expression.

 Chapter 201: Chen Fengâ€™s Plan

    Chapter 201: Chen Feng¡¯s n

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The icy water... blocked his attack?!

    Lei Hao stared fixedly ahead.

    Chen Feng could control the icy water?

    Impossible!

    Why had the Ice River remained a legend all this while?

    That was because it was capable of erasing all abilities! Something uncontroble! That was because all sorts of ability to control were essentially still gic abilities. Wanting to control the icy water that was a gic ability eraser using a gic ability? That was simply a joke.

    As for the icy water... it was something that would lose its effectiveness within several seconds of leaving the Ice River. It was simply something one couldn¡¯t preserve.

    Once, someone possessing a unique ability to preserve everything in its peak condition had tried to preserve the icy water that had left the Ice River.

    However... that attempt had been reduced to a joke. This was because what that person had tried to use was also a gic ability. After getting in contact with the icy water, this ability lost its effectiveness as well.

    Controlling it? That was even more impossible.

    However, right here... with his own eyes, he saw that every time his attack was about tond, icy water would burst out of the ground to block his attack just before the icy water lost its effectiveness.

    Coincidence?

    Who would believe that this was a coincidence?

    Xiu!

    Another attack streaked forth.

    "Bang!"

    A gush of icy water burst out.

    One time!

    Two times!

    This bizarre scene stupefied everyone there.

    "This..."

    Everyone¡¯s mouths were stuck agape. This works?

    As of this moment, Chen Feng and Wang Yao were getting further away from him.

    Lei Hao inhaled deeply. "You are courting death!"

    He was aware that with this icy water here, it was simply a dream for him to use somemon methods to damage them.

    Hence...

    Are you able to block an incorporeal attack, then?

    Verbal Compliance Law was his strongest killer move. However, apart from this, he had a lot of 4-star and 5-star secret arts as well.

    For example: Conception of Death and Life

    A 5-star secret art capable of ignoring distance, range, and defense.

    A secret art that was formed through the fusion of five different gic abilities, it was able to unleash an extremely powerful mental attack that was able to directly appear within the target¡¯s body. This ability was in actuality something simr to the early form of the Verbal Compliance Law secret art.

    It was ssified as a curse, a formless attack.

    Hum¡ª

    A gush of powerful energy converged beside Lei Hao.

    Lei Hao pointed at Chen Feng.

    It¡¯s over!

    Everyone¡¯s hearts chilled. A lot of people recognized this move. Regardless of whether it was luck or coincidence, the gushing icy water had given them some sort of hope earlier. However, how would one block this Conception of Death and Life?

    Chen Feng... was going to be finished.

    Everyone¡¯s hearts trembled.

    Xiu!

    That bizarre aura locked onto Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng saw this scene as well. He was aware that Lei Hao had definitely used a fatal ability. However, at this instant, oddly, a smile was instead formed on his mouth.

    It¡¯s over...

    He lowered his head.

    Looking at her delicate appearance, he suddenly found that this little girl was unprecedentedly beautiful. Coupled with that red skirt she had on, she appeared iparably captivating.

    Chen Feng hugged her tightly and whispered to her, "We must both survive. We will certainly... survive!"

    Pu tong!

    Chen Feng leaped. With Wang Yao in his embrace, he actually leaped into the icy water without any hesitation.

    Pu tong!

    Water sshed around.

    Xiu!

    Lei Hao¡¯s attack arrived. However, the attack vanished amidst the icy water. Regardless of what angle he chose to attack from, he was unable to go through this river of icy water Chen Feng and Wang Yao were currently submerged in.

    "This..."

    Everyone cried out in rm.

    Leaping into the river?

    Leaping into the Ice River?

    This guy had gone insane!

    One had to know that, once someone jumped into the Ice River, one would lose all of one¡¯s gic abilities and be the same as an ordinary person that could only drift along the waves, following the flow of the river...

    Anyone who did that had zero chances of survival!

    Bang!

    Flowing along the current of the river, Chen Feng and Wang Yao instantly disappeared.

    They were flushed away!

    At that final instant, everyone could clearly see that just as Chen Feng¡¯s and Wang Yao¡¯s bodies entered the water, they were already covered by ice.

    This was the Ice River! A mystical body of water with a temperature so low one couldn¡¯t even begin to imagine its coldness.

    It was rumored that, back then, several thousand warriors, from F-ss to A-ss, had carelessly fallen into this icy water. Not a single one of them had ever returned alive.

    Without gic abilities, regardless of how high one¡¯s body quality was, one would still die. That was because, regardless of how strong one¡¯s body was, at the instant one dropped into the Ice River, one would be frozen immediately. Next, one would drift along with the waves before sinking into the depths of the water as a chunk of ice. Or perhaps one might be devoured by the legendary mutated beast that was said to live in the icy water. There was simply no hope for survival.

    Distantly.

    Lei Hao frowned. "Suicide?"

    He had never expected that they would actually leap into this newly reemerged Ice River. The Ice River that, as per legends, none had ever survived.

    Hum¡ª

    His wristband buzzed.

    Lei Hao looked at the screen. The experts from the Gic Union were arriving soon.

    "Go!"

    Lei Hao sneered. His ice cold gaze nced at Hou Liang and the rest before leaving speedily.

    Since Wang Yao had fallen into the icy water, his mission waspleted. Time to retreat.

    Shua!

    With a sh.

    The two departed at a flying speed. Shortly after they left, numerous terrifying auras appeared. The experts from the Gic Union had finally arrived.

    "Where are you running?"

    Bang!

    A silhouette descended from the sky and immediately tore space apart.

    Hum¡ª

    Within the torn space, the Lei Hao duo that had just fled were still there.

    "It¡¯s you!"

    With a single nce at this newly arrived person, Lei Hao¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    Escape!

    Verbal Compliance Law activated, escape at full speed!

    The Verbal Compliance Law that he had prepared in advance bloomed at this instant as he transformed into a streak of light and escaped. As for hispanion who had saved him earlier? Lei Hao couldn¡¯t spare any thought to him.

    Bang!

    A descent of endless thunder.

    "Lei Hao!" that person screamed. He activated his Celestial Body Shield. However, he onlysted for two seconds before perishing.

    Pu!

    The celestial body crumbled. The A-ss expert was dead.

    He did not even have a chance to use a second ability before perishing.

    "Hmph!"

    The gaze of the Gic Union expert seemed to transcend distance as he locked onto the faraway Lei Hao and streaked forth to chase after him.

    Currently, some of the experts remained to escort everyone away.

    With such changes urring here, not only Hou Liang¡¯s group, even their employees in the nearby camp needed to be evacuated as well.

    "Is it possible to save them?"

    Hou Liang looking at the Ice River that was flowing at great speed.

    "I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not possible." They sighed. "Regarding this river, the Gic Union had always kept a record of it. This was something humanity has never managed to touch. Hence, it was sealed. Now that the seal has been removed... the whole Extreme d will probably be submerged in the icy water soon."

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Distantly, the earth trembled.

    Endless icy water gushed out of the ground.

    Everyone had a solemn mood.

    They knew that this ce was about to be covered by endless icy water.

    The whole Extreme d would turn into a huge river. Here, all gic abilities would disappear. This would be a forbidden area for gic warriors.

    Wang Chun looked at the icy water. "Chen Feng..."

    "Let¡¯s go." Hou Liang sighed, as he felt somewhat guilty. "It¡¯s my fault."

    Wang Chun remained silent. For such a thing to happen, who could have guessed it?!

    The mysterious organization...

    A ss...

    "Shen Yi." Wang Chun suddenly concentrated his gaze. "Help me be stronger. I must be stronger! I want to summon everyone! I want to... crush this organization!"

    Wang Chun had a resolute gaze.

    He had initially believed that he was already strong enough. With his ability to transcend levels to challenge those of higher ss, he was even feeling somewhat proud as ofte. However, this single p of reality to his face had thoroughly awakened him.

    This was a world where dangers lurked everywhere!

    If he wanted to stay alive... he had to be stronger!!

    Wang Chun inhaled deeply. "Chen Feng..."

    "Go!"

    Shua!

    Wang Chun left with Hou Liang and the rest.

    At the Extreme d, endless icy water gushed out of the ground. In a short period of time, apanied by a loud boom, the whole Extreme d crumbled, and an endless amount of icy water emerged.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The entirety of Extreme d disappeared. This had thoroughly became the Ice River.

    After a long time, the flowing water returned to its tranquility. As far as the eye could see, there was only an endless expanse of icy blue.

    This was the Ice River.

    The forbidden area of humanity from the legends!

    At the same time, somewhere in the Ice River, two silhouettes that were huddled together were sinking without stop.

    Chapter 202: Lifeline!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Cold. Endless cold. Chen Feng could feel his body bing stiffer as time passed. This was the water from the Ice River, a body of water where the temperature was extremely low yet no ice was formed. It was capable of erasing all gic abilities. Here, a gic warrior would be no different than an ordinary person.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s body became stiff. He knew that if this continued, only death would await him. He had to leave here.

    Move!

    He wanted to move his body.

    However...

    He couldn¡¯t.

    Regardless of how high the quality of one¡¯s body was, the instant one entered the Ice River, they would be covered by ice and their whole body would gradually turn into a chunk of ice.

    I can¡¯t wait for death like this!

    Although his body was stiff, his thoughts were unprecedentedly clear. Within the Ice River, he couldn¡¯t move his body and could only die. However, Chen Feng was aware that one single ability was still working: his Luck Aura!

    Previously, his Luck Aura had worked on the Ice River¡¯s water, using it to block several attacks. This was also what gave Chen Feng the confidence to leap into the Ice River. He was betting on all the luck value he had on him. All 249 points of luck values he had on him.

    Let¡¯s put it all on the line, then. Ignite! Luck Aura!

    Bang!

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was as sharp as lighting.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    His luck value dropped crazily.

    Chen Feng had no idea how much luck value he would require or what methods his Luck Aura would employ to get him out of this. The only thing he could do was hand everything to his Luck Aura...hand everything to luck!

    He believed that his Luck Aura would be able to grasp onto that single lifeline for him.

    Bang!

    His luck value dropped rapidly.

    Instantly, all 249 points of luck value were exhausted.

    Suddenly, a silhouette appeared from the depths of the river.

    "The lifeline is here?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled.

    However, the moment his spiritual energy scanned the silhouette, his expression changed greatly. That was because the silhouette that had appeared was actually a huge monster, a terrifying mutated beast that resided in the depths of the Ice River.

    It¡¯s over!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart thumped.

    That was a mutated beast! For it to be able to reside in the Ice River, how terrifying was that fellow?

    Hua!

    The mutated beast seemed to have noticed Chen Feng and Wang Yao. Swimming within the water, the mutated beast charged at them.

    Chen Feng wanted to flee. However, he couldn¡¯t control his body and could only stare nkly as that huge beast smashed into him and Wang Yao.

    "God damn it..." Chen Feng muttered inwardly.

    After exhausting so much luck value, this was what appeared?

    What a scam!

    Bang!

    With a terrifying force, Chen Feng and Wang Yao were flung away.

    Ten meters...

    A hundred meters...

    Bang!

    Their bodies were actually flung out of the Ice River.

    One second...

    Two seconds...

    Three seconds...

    Shua!

    The icy water remaining on their bodies lost its effect.

    Instantly, Chen Feng and Wang Yao recovered their gic abilities.

    However...

    What good could this do?

    The mutated beast earlier had indeed not used any gic abilities. It seemed that, regardless of whether one was a mutated beast or a human, they would be restricted by the Ice River. However, that huge body of the mutated beast had still knocked into his body with a terrifying might.

    That was a mutated beast residing within the Ice River. An odd existence that had been residing under the Ice River for an unknown number of years.

    "Ah."

    Chen Feng looked at his own body.

    First, his body was frozen by the Ice River. Next, he had that mutated beast smashing into his body. During that moment of collision earlier, his body had nearly been smashed apart as all major organs in his body were breaking.

    Chen Feng sighed. "I originally thought that I could resist this."

    Then...

    Only one method remained.

    "Wang Yao... the rest will have to depend on you."

    Chen Feng sighed as he hugged Wang Yao¡¯s body that was no longer stiff.

    In the sky, the two bodies that were flung out of the water seemed to ovep.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s consciousness faded.

    Their bodies kept going up for a while before they started falling back toward the Ice River. However, at this instant, a tiny dot of light in Chen Feng¡¯s body started radiating.

    "Bang!"

    A terrifying eruption of power.

    Hum¡ª

    An endless power of me bloomed.

    This was the power of Peril Rebirth!

    This gene armament that Chen Feng had mastered beforeing here had finally activated at the moment of his death, rebirthing his body.

    At this moment, they were only three meters from the Ice River.

    Bang!

    The endless me flowed from Chen Feng¡¯s body into Wang Yao¡¯s body.

    That red skirt of Wang Yao¡¯s that had lost its luster earlier started radiating, and the tightly shut eyes of Wang Yao opened, shining with resplendent radiance.

    Bang!

    The me appeared so dazzling.

    When their bodies were less than one meter from the Ice River, the descend stopped and they started soaring.

    Whoosh!

    Soaring higher into the air.

    Finally, they stopped 1,000 meters above the Ice River.

    There, a thick clump of clouds were hovering. Carefully, Wang Yao ced Chen Feng on it. She had absorbed the majority of the power of Peril Rebirth. Chen Feng had merely recovered his physical injuries. Hence, he had yet to recover his consciousness.

    "I¡¯m still alive?" Wang Yao muttered. Up until now, she still did not dare to believe that there existed someone who was willing to save her.

    After all...

    She looked at Chen Feng. Never before had she felt such fascination toward him.

    She had survived. After being attacked by five A-ss warriors, after dropping into the forbidden area that was the Ice River, when she believed that there was no hope of survival, Chen Feng had created one miracle after another, rescuing her.

    She stared at Chen Feng nkly before smiling sweetly.

    Hu¡ª

    The cloud drifted away toward the direction of the maind.

    As the Ice River had just reemerged, the sky above it was still empty.

    However, not long after they left, the aura of the Ice River expanded without stop and finally covered not only the water but even the sky above it with that bizarre aura.

    Shua!

    A mutated beast was flying on top of the Ice River before it suddenly lost all its gic abilities and fell into the Ice River, turning into a chunk of ice.

    The power of the Ice River was recovering to its peak!

    Amidst the clouds, Wang Yao was staring nkly at Chen Feng.

    The maiden¡¯s heart that had seemed nonexistent in her heart was graduallying alive.

    So...

    This is how it feels to like someone?

    That enchanting and lively pair of big eyes on her delicate petite face were staring at Chen Feng as a smile appeared on her face. Instinctively, her hand reached toward Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    However, that fair, tiny hand of hers simply phased through Chen Feng.

    She couldn¡¯t touch him!

    What was happening?

    She was startled awake to find that at an unknown time her right hand had be transparent.

    She waved her hand. The transparent right hand phased through Chen Feng, like an illusory silhouette.

    Shua!

    The smile on her face disappeared. The ice-cold reality had once again reawakened that seemingly confused heart of hers.

    "Time... I don¡¯t have much left," she muttered.

    Ci!

    Ci!

    Her right hand flickered unceasingly before recovering to normal.

    She stood up as the previous cold expression returned to her face. Her ice-cold gaze was looking toward a certain direction. That was where the mysterious organization¡¯s headquarters were located.

    She lowered her head and looked at Chen Feng¡¯s calm expression. Suddenly, she smiled. She did not quite understand how emotions worked. However, she was aware that when she was looking at Chen Feng, she felt extremelyfortable and happy.

    Lowering her head, softly, she nted a kiss on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    Sweet.

    Another weird feeling emerged.

    "Seems like... those three favors will remained owed for a very long time," Wang Yao muttered. "If... I could relive my life, how good would that be..."

    Shua!

    Noiselessly, the cloud concealed itself as it vanished.

    Chapter 203: New Discovery

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Somewhere in the wilderness, Chen Feng woke up to find that gentle wave of light was shining upon his body.

    "Di¡ª"

    "Di¡ª"

    An ice-cold mechanical sound could be heard.

    A plump looking robot could be seen scanning Chen Feng with a scanner without stop. Layers of light swept through Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    "Test finished. Target¡¯s body is healthy. Di¡ª"

    "This ce is..."

    Chen Feng raised his head to take a look around him. A familiar environment could be seen. This was a camp of the Gic Union, and also the nearest camp to the Extreme d.

    Why am I still here?

    Hua!

    The memories of what happened before he¡¯d lost his consciousness surfaced.

    Where¡¯s Wang Yao?!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled.

    Something was not right!

    If the n had worked...

    No!

    With Luck Aura, his n definitely worked. Even if something unexpected were to arise, it would still work in their favor. Hence, both he and Wang Yao should have been saved!

    Chen Feng looked at the robot. "Who sent me here?"

    "Nobody." The indication light on the robot flickered as it said, "We found you at the vicinity of the camp."

    !!!

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils constricted abruptly.

    Wang Yao... nothing must happen to her!

    Shua!

    Abruptly, he charged out of the camp.

    Outside, only a huge mountainous area could be seen.

    He was currently located at a ce that was quite mystical as well. However, different than the Extreme d, this was the Landscape Region, a holynd of tourism!

    "Wang Yao..."

    As far as his eyes could see, there was only an endless expanse of wilderness.

    Xiao Ying... Chen Feng muttered inwardly.

    He had to find out what had happened.

    Hum¡ª

    Digitized world activated. Chen Feng entered his digitized world.

    "You should have been around all this while, right..." Chen Feng muttered. "Rey the scenes that happened earlier..."

    Bang!

    Light scattered around.

    His spiritual energy started reconstructing what had happened. With Xiao Ying flickering in the air, everything it saw and experienced was once again reyed in the digitized world from a third-person point of view.

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled.

    He saw how Wang Yao brought him away from the Ice River.

    He saw that soft kiss she nted on his face.

    He saw that somewhat-transparent body of hers that was flickering unceasingly.

    He saw that firm yet regretful expression on her face.

    He saw her gently cing him somewhere near the camp before leaving silently.

    At this point, the scene stopped. Only the gradually leaving silhouette of Wang Yao could be seen...

    "She¡¯s still alive."

    Chen Feng exhaled in relief.

    He was afraid that Wang Yao had gotten herself killed trying to save him. If she was still alive, then all was well.

    But then, why did she choose to leave?

    He could clearly see that the change in Wang Yao¡¯s state of mind began when her body became transparent. What was that? Why had she turned transparent? What was happening to her body?

    Chen Feng had a lot of questions.

    The excessively powerful Wang Yao at the tender age of 18.

    The Wang Yao that maintained the same appearance despite her age of 18.

    A previous mutation in her body...

    Chen Feng still remembered what she¡¯d said previously.

    Mutation...

    What was the mutation that had urred in her body?

    Chen Feng was more curious about that than others. This was because he was sure that this was rted to the reason Wang Yao had left him.

    Chen Feng had a cold gaze. "I will definitely find out about it."

    In his heart, a me was ignited.

    He had initially believed that he was powerful enough. This was especially true after his victory during the Gene Rookie Competition. It had given him a feeling that he had a limitless future.

    However, from this single mission, he¡¯d seen the cruel reality. So those people were how this world¡¯s experts looked like. So even A-ss experts could die so quickly. So, this was what "all sorts of mishaps might happen at any time" meant when he read it in mission descriptions.

    The reality would never work exactly ording to one¡¯s ns.

    In this world, countless possibilities existed. However, countless unexpected urrences existed as well. He hade into contact with Wang Yao several times previously and only had a favorable opinion of her. Only, after this close brush with death, his favorable opinion had transformed into love. However, the more he found out about this little girl, the more his heart ached.

    Indescribably, an urge to protect her gushed out of the depths of his heart.

    Hence, he made his move without any hesitation!

    For the first time, he was finally aware that he was still young. He was still hot blooded! However, this was also the first time that he¡¯d felt his powerlessness before true power. He had never expected that Wang Yao¡¯s strength was at such a height.

    A height seemingly impossible to reach.

    She was not just a person in A ss, more than that, she was also among the elites of A ss!

    That scene where she¡¯d instantly killed three A-ss experts remained fresh in Chen Feng¡¯s memory. In all honesty, if an expert with an incredibly strong defense had not been included in the group, she might have even been able to kill all five of them.

    "Is that the reason you left?" Chen Feng muttered. Because she was too powerful. And her enemies were even more powerful! That mysterious organization!

    Chen Feng was simply incapable of rendering her any aid. Apart from this, she was also used to working alone.

    The weak voice of Wang Yao seemed to once again appear by his ears. All my life, only two people have sincerely helped me. One of them was Wang Yue... at my moment of desperation, he begged for mercy on behalf of me, despite the fact that his begging wasn¡¯t really effective... The second one was you.

    She was already used to being alone.

    With an ice-cold exterior, she covered up that frail heart of hers. Alone, she walked this world,pleting her task.

    How lonesome.

    That feeling where she was out of ce in this world...

    Chen Feng understood it all too well!

    Wasn¡¯t this how he¡¯d felt when he was first transmigrated here? However, that feeling had only appeared in him because he wasn¡¯t originally a person of this world.

    As for Wang Yao?

    She was a person of this world, yet she was disassociated from this world. This was what caused the ache in Chen Feng¡¯s heart.

    "What have you experienced, exactly?" Chen Feng slightly shook his head. He guessed that that secret of Wang Yao¡¯s would be rted to that mysterious organization. Everything she¡¯d experienced would be rted to that organization.

    Chen Feng looked at the simted graph in his digitized world. "Where are you now?"

    Shua!

    After exhaustion, he had recovered three points of his luck value. If he wanted to, he could activate his Luck Aura ¨C Lockdown at any time to look for Wang Yao¡¯s exact position.

    However...

    What should he do after locating her?

    Forget it.

    Chen Feng shook his head.

    Their rtionship was merely in an extremely early stage. He was not qualified to interfere in Wang Yao¡¯s affairs. Moreover, he was not strong enough to help her either.

    Hence, since she had made her choice, he would respect it.

    However...

    Something like this, he did not wish for it to happen ever again.

    He had a resolute gaze. It was pointless to remain full of remorse. Since he now had something he wanted to do, wanting to no longer be so powerless when under oppression, then he should be stronger!

    Now...

    He was still far from being strong enough.

    If Wang Yao could reach A ss at 18 years old, why couldn¡¯t he do the same thing?

    Be stronger!

    Increasing his rank!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    Only with this could he do whatever he wanted instead of feeling powerless when there was something he wanted to aplish. This was also the initial goal he¡¯d had when he¡¯d first transmigrated here.

    However, his desire to be strong had never been so intense. Now, the first thing he needed to do was charge into D ss!

    Shua!

    His spiritual energy bloomed. He had already recovered his 1,500 points of spiritual energy, reaching the extreme even amongst those in limit mode. Only a single opportunity was required and he would be able to break through into D ss.

    "Time to return, then."

    Chen Feng left the camp.

    Currently, the uproar caused by the incubated being incident had engulfed the whole of Star City.

    It was said that, ultimately, Lei Hao had still escaped. He was also the only survivor from that organization. Everyone else from that organization was dead. With this, the mysterious organization had suffered great losses.

    As for the Gic Union and Gene Production Association... they had simrly suffered great losses.

    The loss of several shadow warriors, a peak B-ss celebrity genius, and Chen Feng, the Gene Rookie Competition champion. There was also that mysterious Wang Yao.

    Shua!

    Whitemps were lightened up at Star City to mourn the losses.

    Even those who had always rejected and despised Chen Feng sunk into silence.

    At night, when Chen Feng returned, he saw a youngdy with an extraordinarily huge chest who was, with a sad expression, looking at a ck-and-white picture hung on Star City¡¯s entrance.

    Chen Feng nced at that picture and his expression darkened immediately.

    That was because he was the person in the hung ck-and-white picture!

    ??

    The day had yet to even end but they already had his picture hung there?

    "Miss." Chen Feng patted her shoulder. "What is your name?"

    "I am Ha Li," thedy said sadly.

    Harry Potter...[1]

    Instinctively, Chen Feng looked at her chest. Mhm... very good. As he thought about it, he was certain that he did not know thisdy.

    He pointed at the huge ck-and-white picture. "You know this guy?"

    "I don¡¯t." Ha Li wept. "However, I had vilified him previously. Wu wu... Unexpectedly, he left us just like this. Moreover, he died trying to rescue someone. This time, I¡¯m here to apologize to him."

    Chen Feng sighed. "...Why don¡¯t you take a look and see who I am then?"

    Ha Li turned around and her eyes widened abruptly.

    As the white light was somewhat dazzling, her crying eyes couldn¡¯t bepletely opened. However, she could vaguely see a familiar looking silhouette that appeared so simr to that hung picture. This gave her an odd feeling.

    Shua!

    Ha Li winked her eyes. Now, the silhouette standing in front of her became distinct as the silhouette seemed to merge perfectly with that hung portrait.

    "Ghost!"

    A scream.

    Bang!

    The youngdy erupted, "Your death is not rted to me, ah ah ah ah! I had only vilified you slightly previously, but I never did you any harm, ah ah ah ah ah! Moreover, it¡¯s still not the seventh day[2] yet!"

    Xiu!

    A session of gene armaments erupted instantly.

    Bang!

    An explosion of light.

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed greatly. "Shit!"

    "Hum¡ª"

    The ear-piercing sound of an rm.

    The intense energy undtion put the whole city on alert.

    "Who is it?"

    The guards appeared quickly before at staring the supposed enemy with stupefied looks on their faces.

    Mhm...

    Chen Feng???!

    "You are still alive?!"

    Soon, Hou Liang arrived and looked at Chen Feng with excitement.

    That¡¯s right, it was him!

    He gave Chen Feng a firm hug.

    Hou Liang¡¯s emotions surged. "You actually survived."

    "Indeed, I survived." Chen Feng pointed at the scars on his body and let out a long sigh. "With great difficulty, I survived. Surprisingly, I survived the Ice River yet was almost done in by our own fellow producer here."

    Ha Li.

    Peak advanced producer!

    A D-ss gic warrior with terrifyingly powerful spiritual energy.

    That instant eruption of hers had nearly bombarded Chen Feng to death on the spot.

    "S-sorry," Ha Li stuttered with her face flushed red.

    "It¡¯s all fine now, stop scaring her." Hou Liang patted Chen Feng¡¯s shoulder before saying with a solemn expression, "I originally believed that, with something happening to you, some things could no longer be further investigated. However, since you have appeared now... there are certain things that you should be aware of."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed. "Mhm?"

    "Come." Hou Liang brought him to the meeting room. "In this mission, despite the heavy losses, we still obtained an unexpected harvest. From the bodies of those dead A-ss experts, some clues were found. Coupled with the breakthrough we got from the previous information we obtained, we have discovered something new about that organization."

    Shua!

    Hou Liang turned the screen on.

    Light swirled.

    Some glowing materials were shown on the screen. Numerous projects and scattered contents were shown on the screen. All of them were crazy yet bizarre projects.

    Some of the projects had a sh on them, indicating that the project was cancelled...

    Some of them were marked, indicating that the project was in progress...

    Suddenly.

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils abruptly constricted. This was because he, at this moment, saw an astonishing title: Parallel World Reverse Transmigration Project.

 Chapter 204: The Crazy Organization

    Chapter 204: The Crazy Organization

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    This is...

    Instinctively, Chen Feng looked at the timestamp on the project. Astonishingly, it was four months ago.

    What on earth was this?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed violently.

    Reverse transmigration?

    This organization even had reverse transmigration projects?

    Shua!

    He concentrated his gaze on this set of information.

    Although arge portion of the information was damaged, there was still quite a lot of viewable information.

    XX year XX month, first reverse transmigration project.

    XX year XX month, second reverse transmigration project.

    ...

    It would be implemented at least once per week.

    That long wall of text represented the number of times this project had been implemented.

    They had been constantly running this reverse transmigration project.

    The main theme of this experiment was to assume the existence of a parallel world before attempting to summon life forms from other worlds into this world.

    The term reverse transmigration was coined for this action.

    However...

    They had never seeded.

    Based on the avable information, up to now, this project had been running for several decades with several thousand attempts. However, they had never seeded.

    One failure after another. A session of red-colored "fail" in the information.

    This remained until four months ago...

    During thest reverse transmigration run they attempted, all energy supplies were exhausted. The energy of half their ce of experimentation was exhausted instantly before theb exploded.

    Countless deaths resulted from this.

    What had happened?

    No one knew.

    Based on the information, no alien life form was found.

    Ultimately, this experiment wasbeled an experiment that failed due to an explosion.

    "Hua¡ª"

    Chen Feng¡¯s emotions surged.

    That was because the time indicated for the experiment four months ago was also the day he had appeared in this world.

    In other words, the reason he had appeared here was because of this reverse transmigration project?

    Wait.

    Chen Feng needed to calm himself down.

    Whether that was the truth, it was quite simple to find out. Chen Feng did not need to confirm the facts. He only needed to use his Luck Aura.

    Shua!

    Suddenly, one of his gene fragments mutated.

    Luck Aura had given him the answer.

    So it¡¯s really rted to that experiment...

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled.

    So, the experiment this organization had conducted at the same time was the lifeline Luck Aura had found for him when it had first activated back when he¡¯d encountered the earthquake?

    So that was what had happened?

    If he was able to transmigrate, others...

    Without Luck Aura, what¡¯s the probability for this experiment to be sessful? Chen Feng asked suddenly.

    Shua!

    His luck number generator [1] gave him an answer.

    A row of zeroes.

    Behind the decimal point, there was a row of over 100 zeroes before a single 1 appeared there.

    It was a probability so low it was almost impossible.

    "That¡¯s good, then."

    Chen Feng exhaled in relief.

    In other words, if it wasn¡¯t for the Luck Aura¡¯s activation, this project would never bear any results. He did not have to worry about transmigrated people running around everywhere then.

    Next...

    He saw another project, the transmigration project.

    That¡¯s right.

    Another project simr to the reverse transmigration project he¡¯d seen earlier, a transmigration project.

    However...

    That project appeared even more miserable.

    A straight flush of red fails on the information.

    Up until now, they had never sessfully transmigrated anything out of this world. asionally, when they finally had something disappear, they still failed to find out if that thing had truly transmigrated or had instead disappeared into the void.

    Transmigration was an action where no feedback could be received.

    Hence...

    This project was even more miserable with a much lower sess rate.

    "These lunatics!"

    Chen Feng could only say these words.

    That mysterious organization was simply filled with lunatics.

    If it wasn¡¯t for the Xia Yan¡¯s incident shedding light on their existence, who could have guessed that the numerous terrifying world-threatening incidents were all products of this organization?

    They had assembled nearly all the lunatics of this world together.

    "They are indeed lunatics." Hou Liang shook his head. "However, they were also extremely intelligent lunatics."

    Chen Feng agreed with that.

    Hou Liang suddenly asked, "That youngdy..."

    "Left." Chen Feng shook his head. "When I woke up, she was no longer around."

    "Mhm."

    Hou Liang did not find that surprisingly. The thoughts of an expert at that level were not something an ordinary person could grasp.

    Wang Yao... in his eyes, was one such person.

    Based on their guesses, it was very probable Wang Yao possessed an extremely powerful trump card. That was the reason why, even after Chen Feng had saved her, ultimately, he was the one who¡¯d ended up rescued out of the Ice River by her.

    "You need to be careful," Hou Liang said seriously. "I¡¯m afraid that organization will be paying attention to you now."

    "I know," Chen Feng replied calmly.

    That organization, eh...

    They were now officially enemies.

    "Just take a good rest for now. The repercussion of this incident are toorge. A lot of the information we obtained needs to be summarized by working overtime. If I¡¯ve guessed correctly, you will receive your rewards tomorrow," Hou Liang said.

    Oh?

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    Rewards!

    Choosing any single D-ss form he wanted?

    He was sure that he would be getting more.

    In this mission, too many unforeseen events had happened. With the huge contribution Chen Feng had made, one could imagine how ample the rewards he would be receiving this time around would be.

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "I will be looking forward to it then."

    However, after leaving, instead of returning to his room, he left Star City. He had only returned here to file his report so that these guys here would not be doing even more unnecessary things such as organizing a funeral for him...

    Now, there were still some other things he needed to do.

    The night deepened.

    Gold City, Wang family.

    For the growth of the Wang family, Wang Tianhao had given all he could. Although a while ago he had suffered some losses due to Chen Feng, the Wang family had still persevered over this crisis in the end.

    At least, they were able to stand tall in Gold City.

    However, Wang Tianhao was still afraid. He was afraid that Chen Feng would seek revenge against them.

    He indeed regretted Wang Yue¡¯s death. However,pared to the whole Wang family, what was Wang Yue? If he wanted, he could at any time find some random woman to give birth to a bunch of sons for him.

    No.

    Chen Feng wouldn¡¯t do that. He was now a sessful and recognized person. How would he lower himself to seek revenge against the insignificant Wang family?

    These were the words Wang Tianhao had been using tofort himself. Even so, he was still constantly startled awake at night by nightmares.

    In his room.

    "I¡¯m wrong! Don¡¯t destroy the Wang family!"

    Once again, Wang Tianhao woke from a nightmare.

    In the dream, Chen Feng had arrived. With a wave of his hand, the Wang family had been destroyed.

    Wang Tianhao smiled bitterly. "This dream again?"

    Truly...

    He shook his head before getting up.

    He was about to calm his mind. However, under the moonlight, he saw a familiar silhouette standing there, calmly staring at him.

    "Bang!"

    Wang Tianhao¡¯s heart throbbed violently.

    It¡¯s him! He has indeede! Chen Feng! He is really standing here at the Wang family¡¯s ce!

    Wang Tianhao smiled bitterly. "Are you here to destroy Wang family?"

    He was aware of Chen Feng¡¯s current status. He was also aware of how terrifying the Gene Production Association¡¯s headquarters were. For Chen Feng to arrive here quietly, what was he nning?"

    Chen Feng looked around at the environment of the Wang family¡¯s ce before indifferently saying, "You guys have recovered well."

    Wang Tianhao was behaving as if a huge enemy was before him.

    "I have a question," Chen Feng asked indifferently.

    Wang Tianhao exhaled in relief. "Ask ahead."

    "What happened to Wang Yao during her childhood?" Chen Feng asked.

    Wang Yao?

    Wang Tianhao went into a solemn mood. "She..."

    "Think properly before you give me the answer." Chen Feng shook the two bottles of gene reagents in his hand before showing his personal information to Wang Tianhao. "Trust me, the destruction a master producer can bring... is not something you want to witness."

    Shua!

    Wang Tianhao¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    Master producer? Chen Feng had reached such a height?

    "I will tell you." Wang Tianhao smiled bitterly. "I will tell you everything."

    Chen Feng¡¯s strength had erased any thoughts of him trying to be smart.

    "I suppose it was when she was about 10 years old," Wang Tianhao said after thinking for a bit. "I remember that, back then, I received a message saying that a certain training camp had taken a liking to Wang Yao¡¯s aptitude and wanted to ept her into the camp. An extremely generous reward would be given to Wang family to aid the Wang family in their endeavors to establish themselves in a major city. However, how could I do such a thing? Hence, I rejected it," Wang Tianhao said heroically.

    Chen Feng stared at him with cold eyes. "You rejected them?"

    "Oh." Wang Tianhao seemed to suddenly lose his confidence as he gulped before continuing, "I initially nned to agree with it. However, it was at that moment that Wang Yao appeared. Did you know? Back then, she hadn¡¯t even reached one meter in height. But just like that, she had a knife to my neck."

    "You did not resist?" Chen Feng was surprised. The Wang Yao back then should have still been a kid, right? This guy here was a gic warrior.

    "I wanted to." Terror appeared in Wang Tianhao¡¯s eyes. "However, she was looking at me with an extremely bizarre gaze. I had a feeling that if I were to resist, I would definitely die! Hence... I rejected that training camp. That was the first time she ever did something like that. Subsequently, her doing something like that became amon urrence." Wang Tianhao had a bitter feeling.

    Chen Feng contemted. "Is that so?"

    Next, Wang Tianhao continued telling him a lot of things. Chen Feng merely stood there silently as he listened to all these. Evidently, from that day onward, Wang Yao transformed from an innocent child into a cold person who was decisive in everything she did.

    Apart from Wang Yue, who she would asionally talk to, she was cold and detached toward everyone else.

    As for the reason for that?

    No one knew.

    Chen Feng was unclear. "What actually happened back then?"

    "I truly have no idea." Wang Tianhao was puzzled as well. He had no idea why his daughter hated him so much. There had to be a reason for that, right?

    Even if he had abandoned her mother back then, through the years, Wang Yao had been treated kindly, never starved, right? Even if their rtionship wasn¡¯t that amiable, she wouldn¡¯t hate him that much, right?

    Moreover...

    That gaze filled with killing intent!

    "This is everything I know." After saying everything he knew, he begged, "I beg you. Please, let the Wang family off."

    "Act intelligently if you know what¡¯s good for you."

    Chen Feng left calmly.

    Back then, when he¡¯d left Gold City, the moment he learned about that organization¡¯s existence, he had already lost his interest in the Wang family. If Wang Tianhao had to be killed, Wang Yao should be the one doing it.

    Behind him, Wang Tianhao expressed his gratitude in fear and trepidation.

    He was also once an ambitious and ruthless character, one of the tyrants in this Gold City. However, for the so-called family, his daughter left him and his son was dead, and the current him had ended up in such a situation as well. One could only say he¡¯d gotten what he deserved.

    Light could already be seen on the initially pitch ck night sky.

    "Time to go back," Chen Feng muttered.

    Soon, he took the Ironcloud and returned to Star City.

    Hum¡ª

    His wristband buzzed. His mission rewards were ready!

 Chapter 205: Absolute Guard!

    Chapter 205: Absolute Guard!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng was filled with anticipation. "What will the reward be?"

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    With a nce at the reward, Chen Feng¡¯s expression immediately darkened.

    "Congrattions forpleting the purification mission. Reward: Any chosen D-ss form x1."

    "That¡¯s it?"

    Chen Feng flipped the screen around.

    Nothing else!

    Only this!

    "Are they scamming me?"

    Chen Feng felt powerless to even berate this.

    Although this was the initial intended reward for this mission, this mission had truly been dangerous. Even a battle between A-ss experts had broken out due to this mission.

    Obviously, the difficulty of the mission had been greatly increased.

    Such a mission, yet only this single reward?

    At the same time, Hou Liang arrived.

    "Have you received the reward?" Hou Liang asked with a smile.

    "..." Chen Feng grudgingly sighed. "Old Hou, you are being dishonest here."

    This guy had been trying to trick him since he¡¯d joined the headquarters. All this while, Hou Liang had been trying to trick him intopleting the purification mission. However, this was what he received as the reward after the missionpletion.

    "Haha," Hou Liangughed heartily. "I knew you would be dissatisfied with this, kid."

    "Nuo."

    He passed a delicate looking case to Chen Feng. "This is yourpensation for this mission."

    "Oh?" Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed.

    "In all honesty, this thing here..." Hou Liang had aplicated expression. "Even I am somewhat enticed by this thing. Initially, they¡¯d wanted to reward you with all sort of forms. However, such things are something you can get any time, as long as you put in some work. Hence, Ibined all your contributions to apply for a single item for you. An item countless people here yearn for even in their dreams," Hou Liang said slowly.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng opened the case.

    Hum¡ª

    At this instant, a dazzling radiance appeared.

    A power that caused one¡¯s heart to palpitate bloomed from the case.

    This is... a power that belonged to an expert!

    Chen Feng looked at the case. Within, a shiny silver badge could be seen. An ice-cold radiance that appeared incredibly real surrounded it, giving it an iparably holy appearance.

    Chen Feng was now filled with anticipation. "What is this thing?"

    "Try touching it," Hou Liang said with a smile.

    Carefully, Chen Feng stretched out his finger. Right as his finger touched the badge, the space in their immediate vicinity seemed to freeze as boundless radiance started shining between Chen Feng and the badge.

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    Surprisingly, the silver badge disappeared.

    Hum¡ª

    The silver radiance transformed into a bizarre and shiny symbol that was gleaming on Chen Feng¡¯s forehead. Subsequently, the radiance around them seemed to retreat into the symbol on Chen Feng¡¯s forehead.

    Shua!

    The radiance vanished.

    Everything returned to how it had been.

    Chen Feng rubbed his forehead. There, nothing could be felt.

    Chen Feng was astonished. "What is this?"

    He couldn¡¯t see or feel anything. However, he could feel a gush of terrifying yet formidable power hibernating within his body, ready to erupt at any moment.

    That power was astonishingly formidable!

    "Absolute Guard." Hou Liang had a solemn expression. "It is something only a person who has greatly contributed to the Gene Production Association is entitled to possess. In all honesty, your contributions alone are still not sufficient to obtain this thing. Only after taking your potential and that young girl Wang Yao into consideration did the application to reward you with this pass.

    "The usage of this thing..." Hou Liang paused for a bit. "It is a power condensed by a super expert. If you meet with any danger, the clone of that expert will descend upon you temporarily. It will be equivalent to a second life for you," Hou Liang said seriously.

    Chen Feng felt doubtful. "A reinforced version of Peril Rebirth?"

    "No." Hou Liang shook his head. "They are inpletely different levels. Peril Rebirth is indeed a powerful gene armament. However, it is only powerfulpared to those in C ss. But this thing here, it will not fear even some of those A-ss experts! Moreover, Peril Rebirth is only useful to give you an instant recovery, only capable of unleashing the power of a peak C-ss warrior. What if your enemy chooses to make another move after that? You will still die. However, this Absolute Guard... it is capable of dealing with any sort of enemy for you," Hou Liang said seriously. "Naturally, if it¡¯s possible, I hope that the day where you need to use it neveres."

    Chen Feng felt doubtful. "Why?"

    "Because its biggest function is not to kill someone, instead, it¡¯s to protect someone," Hou Liang said with a deep tone. "Hence, even though it possesses an astonishing killing power, it was never meant to be a tool to kill; instead, it was created to protect a producer. The reason for that is simple. Have you ever heard of abilities such as a killing curse?" Hou Liang asked.

    Chen Feng nodded.

    Killing curse!

    Abilities in the curse series were capable of ignoring distance and locking down on their target immediately. As such, they were incredibly terrifying due to their ability to kill someone from thousands of kilometers away.

    Something one wouldn¡¯t be able to guard against.

    This was something truly terrifying.

    In this mystical era, killing curses represented mysteriousness and viciousness.

    Moreover, there even existed some killing curses capable of breaking through the defenses of a city.

    One could never offend a person with a killing curse ability. If one had no choice but to offend such a person, one had to try their best to kill that person on the spot. Otherwise, one might just end up living the rest of one¡¯s life living under the shadows of killing curses.

    These were the mostmonly known sayings on killing curses. Countless people were made cautious due to this saying.

    "The Absolute Guard can even block a killing curse," Hou Liang said.

    The so-called killing curse was able to ignore distance. However, it still needed to lock onto a target. If one chose to use a killing curse toward someone with Absolute Guard, one would feel a gush of terrifying power within the target. The moment the killing curse was activated...

    The killing-curse user would be counter killed immediately.

    The power of Absolute Guard was much more terrifying than one could imagine.

    Chen Feng felt doubtful. "What if a person were to use a weaker killing curse to waste the Absolute Guard before using a stronger curse against the target?"

    "How is that so easy?" Hou Liang rolled his eyes. "If a person wants to waste the Absolute Guard, a killing curse that is capable of killing you must be used. As for those weak killing curses, you will be able to block them by yourself, right?"

    "That¡¯s true." Chen Feng finally understood.

    Nuclear missile!

    This was simply a nuclear missile.

    One had to know that, for these killing curses, the deterrence effect it had was much more powerful than actually using it.

    The Absolute Guard was also an existence with such a deterrence effect. As long as this thing existed, anyone nning to use a killing curse on Chen Feng would not dare to do so.

    At the very least, two killing-curse warriors capable of insta-killing Chen Feng needed to make a move at the same time to kill him. And even with that, one of them had to be prepared to be counter killed by the Absolute Guard.

    This was the Absolute Guard.

    With this, it could be said that, from today onward, Chen Feng had obtained an extremely powerful protection charm.

    With this reward, taking this mission was worth it.

    "Those were merely the surface-level rewards." After he finished his exnations on Absolute Guard, he continued, saying, "There¡¯s also some hidden rewards for you. For example, a limit breakthrough project that was designed just for you."

    Limit breakthrough project!

    This referred to projects customized for promising producers. Chen Feng was now at the peak of E-ss with 1,500 points of spiritual energy. Thus, the Gene Production Association had provided him with a perfect route for breaking through into D ss. Free materials would be provided for Chen Feng to start a short duration gene production training program. This would help Chen Feng greatly increase his production level before breaking through his limit.

    Never-ending gene productions were, in actuality, the most optimal method for gene producers to break through their limit.

    Duration: Half a year.

    In half a year, Chen Feng would definitely enter D ss. In half a year, Chen Feng¡¯s production level would definitely have an all-around increase as well.

    "Half a year..."

    Chen Feng shut his eyes.

    Half year.

    For umtion and improvement!

    Half a year of recovery and tempering would truly enable a gene producer to possess a much higher production level. After all, at its core, the focus of a producer was still to produce genes.

    As far as gene producers were concerned with, the only point of breaking through their limit was to enable them to produce better gene reagents.

    "Believe me." Hou Liang was feeling proud. "All the producers that went through this special training ended up stronger. The more talented the producer is, the more the producer will learn from the special training. For you, this is also the best opportunity. Moreover... this special training is specially customized for you."

    Hou Liang looked at Chen Feng with a gratified expression. Chen Feng was the only person to have ever qualified for a customized training program less than a month after joining the headquarters.

    It was at this moment that Chen Feng finally opened his mouth. "Sorry, but I have to reject that offer."

    "What?" Hou Liang was dumbstruck.

    Chapter 206: The Third Gic Ability!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Rejected?

    Hou Liang was somewhat dumbstruck.

    How could Chen Feng reject this? This was a customized limit breakthrough project for him. Something a lot of producers yearned for even in their dreams.

    There, one would obtain unlimited materials and the guidance from producers of the highest rank. There, the best resources and equipments for limit breakthrough were avable. One could say that, in the whole of Star City, that was the best venue to increase one¡¯s strength, and it guaranteed great changes within only half year¡¯s time, enabling one to have an all-around improvement in one¡¯s strength.

    That was also a cemonly known as the holynd of producers.

    "You..." Hou Liang widened his eyes. He was wondering if Chen Feng had heard him correctly, so he said, "Do you want me to exin it to you one more time?"

    "There¡¯s no need for that." Chen Feng shook his head. He¡¯d heard Hou Liang loud and clear. Greatly increasing his production level in half a year¡¯s time, breaking through while he was at it, this was definitely something a lot of producers yearned for. However, for Chen Feng... it was far from enough.

    Production level? This was pointless for Chen Feng.

    Although Chen Feng was a mere E-ss warrior, he had already passed his master producer¡¯s certification, bing a full-fledged master producer.

    What had he been improving in the past?

    Sess rate?

    Foundational knowledge?

    Or concepts of production?

    None of these were required for him.

    As far as Chen Feng was concerned, the only thing limiting his production level was spiritual energy. As long as he had enough spiritual energy, he could even produce A-ss gene reagents this very moment.

    Hence...

    All these training programs were simply a waste of time for him.

    Half a year?

    He hadn¡¯t even been a producer for half a year.

    For Chen Feng, the only thing he needed to increase was his spiritual energy! Combat power! Production level was simply an extra thing that he picked up while he was increasing his spiritual energy andbat power.

    His current production level was sufficient for him. If he continued wasting time in this aspect, it was simply too much of a waste of time. Hence, Chen Feng¡¯s next step would be to increase his strength and get into D ss as soon as possible.

    "You, kid..."

    Hou Liang was furious and spent one whole hour giving earnest advice to Chen Feng, to the point of almost tiring himself before choosing to make apromise. "All right, you can choose to not join this training program. But you can¡¯t do anything reckless. Hear that?"

    Hou Liang was so worried he felt like his hair was turning white.

    There were benefits to recruiting geniuses into the headquarters. However, there were troubles that apanied these geniuses as well. These bastards were all people with their own thoughts, and at times, they would simply ignore the seniors such as Hou Liang.

    Among these geniuses...

    Mhm...

    Chen Feng was the most stubborn one among them.

    "Understood." Only after Chen Feng nodded to express his agreement did Hou Liang leave.

    In the room, Chen Feng stretched.

    Despite not sleeping the whole night, he was feeling exceptionally awake.

    "Reward..."

    He fixed his gaze on the screen.

    Absolute Guard was a pleasant surprise. It would also be an extremely powerful trump card of his. However, this D-ss form he got to chose was also the very thing that would enable him to enter D ss.

    A major step for him.

    Shua!

    He opened the gene bank.

    Hum¡ª

    Light swirled.

    A huge amount of D-ss gene forms flickered in the air.

    "Filter ¨C fusion gene reagent forms," Chen Feng said calmly.

    His current goal was to break through. Hence, he could not be blinded by these seemingly formidable D-ss gene reagents.

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    A huge amount of gene forms disappeared.

    "Filter ¨C 4-star and 5-star forms," Chen Feng said coldly.

    Shua!

    Once again, a huge amount of gene forms disappeared. Only the rarest and the most precious 4-star and 5-star forms were left behind. Chen Feng was nning to look for the strongest gene for himself.

    "Which would suit me?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s brain moved rapidly.

    me...

    Body...

    Curse...

    All sorts of gic abilities.

    Finally, he locked onto three of them.

    The first gene he locked onto was an ability under the spirit-enhancing category.

    This was a 5-star D-ss special gene, capable of giving the user a 50% passive growth in spiritual energy. This enabled the user¡¯s spiritual energy to be forever above those in the same ss.

    This was an extremely powerful gene. If Chen Feng were to fuse with this...

    Mhm...

    His future spiritual energy improvement would be extremely fast. It would also be extremely helpful in his profession as a producer, as he would be able to produce gene reagents that were better and more powerful.

    The second gene he locked onto was an ability under the me attack category.

    This was a 5-star D-ss attack gene that possessed extremely powerful me-type attacks. It was able to unleash a me attack with an amplification of 500% his regr damage.

    With 1,000 points of spiritual energy, one would be able to unleash an attack equivalent to someone with 5,000 points.

    Incredibly frightening.

    And all this was even before this ability was fused into a secret art. Due to the attribute of this ability being the extremely popr fire attribute, it was extremely easy for one to assemble this ability with other suitable abilities to create an extremely powerful secret art.

    If he were to learn this, in the future, Chen Feng would possess an astonishingly powerful attack.

    He believed that, afterbining this ability with his Myriad Illusions ability, something even more powerful would be unleashed.

    The third gene he had locked onto was an ability under the support category.

    This was also a 5-star D-ss gene. However, it was used to support oneself duringbat. This gic ability was able to condense energy and assemble it into equipment. For example, energy armor, energy sword, etc.

    Theoretically, as long as one had sufficient energy for it, one could arm oneself to the teeth.

    Chen Feng had chosen this ability due to its function that was capable of both offense and defense, a seemingly omnipotent ability. The public believed that this ability wasn¡¯t a particrly good one, though.

    However¡ª

    Chen Feng was attracted.

    That was because the stronger the provided energy was, the stronger the assembled equipment would be. Under normal circumstances, the amount of energy one could muster was limited. However, if all the energy erupted from his unlimited Wind de were to be used in tandem with this ability to assemble equipment...

    How powerful would he be?

    Chen Feng was filled with anticipation.

    He had witnessed Lin Ke¡¯s energy mechanical armor before. It was indeed powerful, but it was also riddled with ws. That was, after all still a gene armament, a single-use consumable item. After using it, there wouldn¡¯t be more to use. A gene reagent was, after all, still something that could only give someone a momentary ability. As for gic abilities, they were something whose existence was evesting.

    "Which should I choose?"

    Chen Feng contemted.

    All three of these were extremely suitable for him. However, after filtering, he chose to remove the spirit-enhancing ability. The reason was simple: presently, hecked offensive methods.

    Regardless of how powerful a gene producer appeared to be, at its core, that person was still a gic warrior. They would still need to battle. Pure spirit enhancements? It would be pointless. Just look at how Wang Yue had died. He was a person who possessed an extremely powerful spirit-enhancing ability. However, due to hisck of offensive methods, hisbat power was nearly nonexistent, and he ended up killed by Chen Feng.

    me attack?

    Chen Feng hesitated for a long time but still decided to give up on it. Despite how powerful this ability was, abilities in the fire category had too many users due to their poprity. Due to that, abilities capable of restraining fire-rted abilities were incrediblymon as well.

    Hence, Chen Feng decisively gave up on this ability.

    As for the other avable abilities? Chen Feng had taken a look at them. There were mostlyprised of 4-star genes or genes with insufficient power. Hence, he had given up on all of them.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng tapped on the confirmation button.

    Hum¡ª

    The gene form¡¯s data appeared.

    ----

    Timber Roon Fusion Gene Reagent

    Difficulty: 5 stars

    Restriction: D ss

    Introduction: Using the timber roon¡¯s blood essence as the core, refine the timber roon¡¯s gene using all sorts of precious materials to produce a fusion gene reagent.

    Function: Obtain the Energy Equipment ability.

    Energy Equipment: Envelopes one¡¯s body in energy before assembling the energy into equipment. The assembled equipment will be able to unleash 100% of the supplied energy¡¯s power. The higher the amount of energy provided, the stronger the equipment will be. Suitable for closebat.

    ----

    "You, then."

    Chen Feng¡¯s emotions surged.

    He had finally confirmed his third gic ability.

    Energy Equipment!

    Despite the fact that this ability was only capable of unleashing a power equal to 100% of the supplied energy¡ªquiteckingpared to other abilities such as the earlier me ability capable of unleashing 500% power¡ªthis ability Chen Feng had chosen had no upper limit!

    With his unlimited Wind des, how powerful would his Energy Equipment end up?

    No one knew!

    Moreover, this was simply the standard set of information provided by the management.

    Since Chen Feng had decided to produce his own fusion gene reagent, he would definitely mutate the form before improving it to produce the strongest version of this form.

    "Then... let¡¯s do some investigating on this timber roon."

    Chen Feng started researching online.

    Shua!

    Information regarding to timber roon appeared on his screen.

    ----

    Spicy timber roon: 388 yuan.

    Aromatic timber roon: 688 yuan.

    Soy paste timber roon: 988 yuan.

    ...

    ----

    ??

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression stiffened. What the heck was this?

 Chapter 207: Affecting Reality!

    Chapter 207: Affecting Reality!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    What on earth were these? Chen Feng was somewhat dumbstruck. He went through several pages of search results. However, all he could find were restaurants. Even the pop-up advertisements were all food rted. Finally, when he reached the fourth page, he found some genuine information.

    Timber roon, a D-ss mutated beast. It was an extremely nimble beast capable of solidifying energy. Both its offense and defense were quite good, and in addition, it was a species that had a tendency to group together, making catching them quite a hard feat. Its meat was loved by the masses due to it being tasty.

    ??

    Chen Feng read the final sentence.

    That¡¯s right.

    Tasty meat. Due to their ability to solidify energy, apart from unforeseen events, the timber roon¡¯s body would always be under the protection of the solidified energy. Hence, its body would be in an extremely good condition.

    Mhm...

    Tasty meat.

    Moreover, after consuming its meat, there would even be a weak spiritual energy recovery effect.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    So the fangs of the foodies have even reached D-ss mutated beasts nowadays?

    Too terrifying.

    Did the beast not need its face?

    That was a grand D-ss mutated beast! An existence countless newbie warriors could only look up to. Now, though, these beasts had turned into food.

    Mhm...

    Silently, Chen Feng ordered a set of the timber roon dish.

    His rational being that, since he was going to start hunting timber roons, he needed to get some understanding of this beast. Soon, the dish he ordered was delivered. As he took a look, there were only several pieces of timber roon meat within. No wonder this dish he ordered had been so cheap. He tried it, that taste...

    Chen Feng frowned.

    After finishing, he felt that his understanding of the timber roon was still not deep enough. Hence, he ordered another dish.

    "So it is actually beneficial for spiritual energy recovery. "

    Chen Feng ate three dishes in a row to confirm this fact. Despite the low amount of recovery, that refreshing feeling was quite distinct. This meat was actually so tasty after it had been processed.

    "Timber roon..." Chen Feng muttered.

    He had not tried the taste of timber roon due to him being a glutton. Instead, it was because, if the timber roon was truly so popr, it wouldn¡¯t be too easy for him to hunt timber roons.

    "If I want to improve the timber roon form, I¡¯m afraid the blood essence of an ordinary timber roon won¡¯t do..." Chen Feng muttered.

    The act of improving the form was to unearth the potentially hidden genes within. Furthermore, the redundant or superfluous parts of the original form would also be modified to optimize the form. Hence, Chen Feng had to choose the best blood essence he could get for this.

    The blood essence of a timber roon leader would possess much more powerful genes withinpared to the blood essence of an ordinary timber roon.

    However...

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Hopefully there won¡¯t be any problems."

    The next day, he reached the Withered Prairie. Here, a mystical withered grass could be found. The expanse of withered grasses on the prairie was like a huge yellow ocean. As such, this ce was named Withered Prairie. This was also the ce where the timber roon poption was most active.

    "Timber roon..."

    Chen Feng walked out of the Gic Union¡¯s camp.

    However, there wasn¡¯t even a need for him to go further. Only a single nce from the camp entrance was enough to cause hisplexion to darken.

    People.

    People everywhere.

    Everywhere his eyes could see, there were people.

    "Our timber roon hunting squad of threecks one more member. We will be able move out immediately after a gic warrior with detection abilities, good eyes, and nimble hands joins us. We already have an expert hunter in our team. It won¡¯t be a problem for us to capture even three of them per day. Our squad is definitely a professional squad, definitely not a scammer. All the ie will be distributed evenly. Our trustworthiness is guaranteed, if we were to lie, we will all die..."

    "Our timber roon hunting squad of two is still recruiting two members. A specialized hunter is required. Those hunters that can only capture one out of every ten they see are not wee."

    The bustling scene there rmed Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng had gone to quite a number of Gic Union camps. However, he had never once seen a camp so crowded. To think that he had always believed that only tourist spots would be so busy.

    "Here..."

    Chen Feng was shocked.

    An unending stream of squads entered the Withered Prairie to hunt timber roons.

    Tendency to group together?

    Strong defensive capabilities?

    Under the pure amount of humans here, all these were useless.

    "Did I choose the wrong location?" Chen Feng muttered.

    He studied the map and found that there were still several locations where timber roons were active. Riding the Ironcloud, Chen Feng spent one whole day visiting all these locations. Subsequently, he returned with a lost expression on his face, because everywhere he went, there was simrly a huge crowd of people.

    All these people were there to hunt timber roons.

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "Have these people gone crazy?"

    Only after checking online did he find the reason for this. A single timber roon could be sold for 100,000 yuan. After hunting these timber roons, they would sell them to the restaurants. The restaurants would cut the meat into pieces before cooking them and selling them as dishes, which allowed them to earn a nice margin of profit.

    Moreover, timber roon hunting had even be a full-fledged upation.

    Hunting...

    Reselling...

    Selling...

    Aplete supply chain had already been formed, centered on the timber roons.

    "Why has it ended up this way?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s head ached.

    He had never imagined that he would encounter such a situation!

    When he went beast hunting in the past, he only needed to consider the safety aspect. Now, though? Forget about the timber roon leader. Even a timber roon that was alive was nowhere to be seen.

    Was he about to face failure for such a reason?

    Even the thought of that pained Chen Feng to no end.

    Chen Feng frowned. "I need to think of something."

    Charge inside with my Luck Aura activated?

    In all honesty, the amount of people here was too high. If his Luck Aura were activated, the luck value exhaustion would definitely be terrifying, as the luck values would have to make sure that he could avoid every single group here that was hunting for timber roon leaders.

    Every single one of them.

    Even if only one luck value was used for each team...

    Chen Feng reckoned the pitiful amount of luck values he had would still be insufficient.

    What to do, then?

    Chen Feng sank into a short contemtion.

    Perhaps...

    He looked at the 20 points of luck value he had. He had been saving them since yesterday; however, he had not recovered much. However, since the amount was low anyway, he wouldn¡¯t mind trying to use it in a way he did not normally dare to: to alter reality.

    If...

    A hypothetical if...

    If the luck values were used to provide some assistance in hunting for a timber roon leader, with these 20 points of luck value he had, how much of a help would it be?"

    Chen Feng inhaled. "Let¡¯s try."

    Hum¡ª

    Luck Aura fully activated.

    Shua!

    Luck value dropped rapidly.

    Five points...

    Ten points...

    Fifteen points...

    Shua!

    Luck value fully exhausted.

    With his eyes shut, Chen Feng could feel that his Luck Aura was indeed working. However, he had no idea what the Luck Aura had worked on.

    That¡¯s it?

    Chen Feng felt somewhat regretful.

    Indeed. 20 points of luck value are still too much of a stretch...

    Chen Feng shook his head.

    Suddenly, his wristband buzzed.

    "Hum¡ª"

    "Your close friend has been detected epting a relevant mission."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    Mission!

    Friend¡¯s mission?

    He turned his screen on and found that it was Xu Fei!

    Xu Fei had epted a mission rted to timber roons. However, Xu Fei had rejected the system¡¯s request to have the details of the mission revealed.

    Chen Feng tried contacting him. "Xu Fei?"

    "Haha, Chen Feng, it has been a while." Xu Fei¡¯s shiny bald head appeared on the screen.

    "You epted a timber roon rted mission?" Chen Feng asked frankly.

    "Yeah." Xu Fei smiled happily. "Some rich guy released a mission to hunt timber roon leaders. It was quite a coincidence. I heard that he had initially made his choice and chosen a squad among several avable D-ss squads. However, just as he was about to confirm his choice, he saw the information of our squad and felt that we were more suited for the mission. Hence, he chose us for this mission."

    Oh?

    Chen Feng¡¯s emotions surged.

    Indeed! Altering reality!

    It had worked!

    Chen Feng was excited.

    Even if only 20 points of luck value were used and nothing major had happened, this proved that his Luck Aura could truly alter reality.

    In such a unique manner.

    If his luck values were sufficient...

    He suddenly remembered a movie he¡¯d watched during his previous life: Final Destination.

    Killing people through coincidence!

    If he had sufficient luck value, he would be akin to the Death in the movie, killing through coincidences!

    Chen Feng was filled with anticipation. "Such a day will arrive."

    "You want to join this mission as well?" Xu Fei asked curiously.

    "I need some timber roon blood essence." Chen Feng suddenly smiled as he asked, "Do you need an extra member in your squad?"

    Xu Fei¡¯s eyes shone. Chen Feng wanted to join? If that was the case, he would definitely need this extra member.

 Chapter 208: The Furious Food

    Chapter 208: The Furious Food

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At Star City, Hou Liang was handling the aftermath of the Ice River incident. Suddenly, he received an update that Chen Feng had gone to the Withered Prairie to hunt for timber roons. A great producer like him had actually once again gone out to take risks?

    "Can¡¯t this bastard tone it down and rest for several months?"

    Hou Liang was bursting with rage.

    How many days had it been since the Ice River incident?

    Was Chen Feng not afraid of death?

    Ordinary producers were all extreme shut-ins, to the point where the Gene Production Association needed to think of ways to persuade them to go out and temper themselves. As for Chen Feng? He was simply a bastard that couldn¡¯t sit tight for one moment.

    "Don¡¯t worry." Beside him, Old Zhu unhurriedly said, "With Absolute Guard, he¡¯s much safer, even whenpared with you. Furthermore, this kid is walking his own path. It¡¯s best for us to not meddle in it too much."

    "What I did was for his own good." Hou Liang was furious. Protecting him could be considered as meddling in his affairs as well?

    "Hehe." Old Zhu sneered. "Have you forgotten about the geniuses our organization has nurtured so far?"

    Hou Liang was immediately speechless.

    Geniuses!

    The Gene Production Association had indeed nurtured some of them before. They had adopted orphans and exhausted their resources to train countless powerful geniuses. These people were all very formidable. However, none were capable of surpassing their predecessors.

    This was truly depressing.

    All the geniuses they¡¯d nurtured based on optimal nurturing methods were simply like mirror images of each other, as if they had all been carved out of the same mold.

    As for Chen Feng...

    He was totally different from those geniuses.

    Totally unconventional.

    "Don¡¯t be overprotective, lest he be a copy of one of those geniuses we nurtured," Old Zhu unhurriedly said. "Chen Feng was able to reach where he is currently due to his freedom to act as he wished. It¡¯s sufficient for us to give him fitting assistance whenever required. As for the rest, it will have to depend on himself."

    Hou Liang¡¯s heart trembled.

    He had never expected Old Zhu to actually have a higher expectations for Chen Feng than him.

    After finding out about Chen Feng¡¯s talent, he had been in a rush to give Chen Feng the best they could so that he could be stronger and more formidable! With the same talent,paratively, when supported with more resources, it should be better than him doing things by his lonesome self, right?

    This was what Hou Liang had always believed.

    However, who could have guessed that Old Zhu actually had apletely reversed thought processpared to his.

    As he thought of all those geniuses that had not met their expectations and had failed to surpass the predecessors despite all the resources the organization had spent on them, Hou Liang sunk into silence.

    Chen Feng...

    He stared outside of Star City.

    Would the path this child treaded by himself truly be better than the optimal path Hou Liang chose for him?

    **

    At a certain spacious abandoned factory, countless experiment materials could be seen piled up within. Within the rows of vehicles in the factory, numerous dying mutated beasts were locked. On their bodies, numerous pinholes could be seen. Weak roars could be hearding out of the mouths of these beasts.

    On the floor, the materials that were supposed to be arranged neatly were currently arranged in a disorderly manner. The whole ce was in chaos.

    A middle-aged man could be seen watching a recorded video with a serious expression. Here, they were mainly focused on researching the genes of mutated beasts to look for a more formidable power among the recessive genes of these beasts. They were looking for a source of power simr to dark energy.

    Seeking a power capable of changing the world.

    After over 10 years of research, their results were quite minimal. However...

    Outside of everyone¡¯s expectations, just as they¡¯d been about to give up on their research and discard this project, an astonishing change appeared in their research.

    A timber roon leader had risen out of their kitchen.

    That¡¯s right.

    Kitchen.

    This was originally a timber roon caught here as their food. Their lunch today was supposed to be roasted timber roon. However, the timber roon that already had the condiments rubbed on its body and was prepped for roasting had suddenly started raging.

    With cumin paste all over its body, it killed the chef and the two other D-ss guards before escaping in a carefree manner.

    "This fellow."

    The middle-aged man¡¯s gaze was burning.

    The chef was dead?

    Nobody cared about that.

    However, this raging timber roon leader had brought hope to their failing project. That power disyed that far exceeded a normal timber roon leader, that mystical mutation that had urred in it...

    Something had definitely happened to this timber roon.

    "Chase! We must capture it! Regardless of what the reason for the mutation is, I must obtain it!"

    The middle-aged man¡¯s gaze was filled with killing intent.

    Currently, at the Withered Prairie camp, Chen Feng finally met with Xu Fei¡¯s group. Zhou Ling appeared as pretty as ever, Monkey¡¯s gaze appeared brighter than before, and Tie Shi¡¯s sturdy body was ever so imposing. As for Xu Fei, he was the same old him with his shiny bald head.

    "Your head is shinier now," Chen Feng praised.

    "Scram," Xu Fei said grudgingly.

    Wasn¡¯t this the work of your legal loli? However, now that he had a better understanding of how terrifying Wang Yao was, he no longer dared to utter such words out loud.

    "Let¡¯s talk about the mission."

    "All right."

    They walked over to a quiet corner. Xu Fei¡¯s mission was quite simple. They only needed the corpse of a timber roon leader. As for the blood essence? After the death of a timber roon, its blood essence would disappear shortly. By the time they brought the timber roon¡¯s corpse back to the mission issuer, the blood essence would be long gone. Hence, if Chen Feng wanted the blood essence, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem.

    "That¡¯s good, then."

    Chen Feng was extremely satisfied. Since he was working with Xu Fei¡¯s squad, this mission shouldn¡¯t be too time consuming.

    Timber roon leader: a unique existence among timber roons.

    Among several tens of thousands of timber roons, only one leader might emerge. The meat of the timber roon leader had an even better taste. Hence, the moment one appeared, they would be hunted furiously.

    Hence, the main point of their current mission was to avoid the other hunters.

    "All right."

    Chen Feng spread his hands. He had never expected that a day woulde where the biggest problem he encountered during a mutated beast hunt was due to this mutated beast being too tasty.

    "ording to our information... during the past two days, a timber roon leader has appeared in the depths of the Withered Prairie. It is extremely crafty as it usually spends most of its time underground. We only need to lure it out, next..."

    Xu Fei started nning their mission out.

    Locate, lockdown, kill!

    Simple and straightforward.

    Zhou Ling was good at freezing abilities, so she could help in speed reduction.

    Tie Shi was good at defending, so he could help block attacks.

    Monkey was good at scouting, so he could help lock onto the timber roon.

    As for Chen Feng and Xu Fei, they would be in charge ofbat!

    After witnessing what had happened during the Gene Rookie Competition, no one dared to look down on Chen Feng¡¯sbat power. With Chen Feng¡¯s inclusion in their squad, Xu Fei¡¯s group had obtained a great helping hand out of the blue.

    Xu Fei looked at the rest. "Are there any problems with this n?"

    They shook their heads. "Nope."

    "Good." Xu Fei nodded. "If there are no problems, we will try our best to get this done today. Naturally, the biggest problem for this mission is not the timber roon; instead, it¡¯s those professional hunters."

    Professional hunters. Due to the unique abilities they possessed, they made a living through hunting.

    They possessed acute senses and hunting awareness far surpassing ordinary people. Although the information they¡¯d obtained indicated that this timber roon was something that had suddenly appeared during the past two days¡ªand that this appearance was something that an ordinary person would definitely not notice¡ªXu Fei would not look down on the intuition these professional hunters possessed.

    "Move fast and end this fast," Xu Fei said with a deep tone.

    Then... depart!

    The squad moved out. The way Xu Fei did things nowadays was more and more in line with Chen Feng¡¯s style.

    Clean and decisive.

    Based on the route Xu Fei plotted, they took a detour from the huge group of people here and entered from a more dangerous area before reaching the depths of the Withered Prairie.

    ording to their information, that timber roon leader would be around here. However, just as they was about to take out their bait, they stopped their actions.

    Bang!

    An astonishing killing intent erupted under their feet.

    "Be careful!" Xu Fei warned.

    "Let me!"

    Tie Shi activated his defenses.

    Bang!

    Ayer of gentle light enveloped everyone.

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    Numerous pitch ck silhouettes shot out of the shadows under their feet and ambushed them. Forcefully, Tie Shi¡¯s defense was smashed as these people exposed their ice-cold killing intent.

    That familiar movement...

    Chen Feng took a nce and noted that he had indeed found a familiar silhouette among the group: Shadow.[1]

    Chen Feng¡¯s mouth curled up, forming a smile. "It has truly been quite a while."

    Footnotes:

    1. A quick recap. Shadow is the guy that appeared during the illusionary snake incident. This is the guy that escaped with Chen Feng¡¯s gene reagent back then.

    Chapter 209: You Forced Me

    Shadows flickered around while an ice-cold killing intent pervaded the air.

    Xu Fei and the rest werepletely suppressed before they could even react. On their body, scars started appearing. Under the fury of attacks, they could only bear with it with great difficulty.

    The battle ended right after it started.

    Xu Fei¡¯s heart trembled. "It¡¯s you guys."

    The Shadowkill Squad.

    Simr to them, this was a squad filled with D-ss gic warriors. However, the members of this squad were very unique. All the members of this squad possessed shadow-rted abilities and made a living through robbing. Able to appear and vanish at will, they were incredibly terrifying. Despite the fact that this was a newly established squad, their fame was already far reaching. No one had expected that this squad would actually appear here.

    Things were going to get troublesome.

    Chen Feng muttered inwardly that something bad was going to happen.

    Currently, the captain¡¯s gaze swept through them before finally stopping on Chen Feng¡¯s body. "Deal with him."

    "Roger." Shadow moved.

    There were only four members in the Shadowkill Squad. Hence, every time they made their move, they would first contain the most dangerous ones among their targets in order to better control the flow of the battle.

    Obviously, they had not considered Chen Feng to be a dangerous individual since their concentrated attacks earlier had been focused on Xu Fei and the rest.

    Shua!

    Noiselessly, Shadow arrived. However, when he neared his target and saw that familiar face, his expression changed greatly. "It¡¯s you?!"

    Chen Feng was all smiles as he waved his hand. "Hi."

    Retreat!

    Without the slightest hesitation, Shadow retreated furiously.

    One of hispanions known as Afterimage looked at him doubtfully. "What are you afraid of?!"

    That¡¯s an acquaintance of his?

    Hum¡ª

    Red light started radiating from his eyes.

    That bald guy¡¯sbat power is around 3,000¨C5,000. That girl there has abat power of 2,800¨C4,900...

    For him, thebat power of their opponents did not appear to be anything special.

    This was one of his gic abilities: Combat Evaluator. With this, he could clearly analyze his enemy¡¯sbat power to obtain an estimation of the upper and lower bounds of his opponent¡¯sbat power.

    As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you emerge unscathed from a hundred battles.

    After he fused with this ability, the sess rate of their squad had increased by around 50%.

    Failure?

    It was nonexistent.

    Any time they saw someone hard to deal with, they would take a detour.

    As for Chen Feng, his indicatedbat power was 1,000.

    It was just as he had initially calcted; this guy was the least threatening guy here. What was up with Shadow?

    Before he could even sort his thoughts, a terror-filled scream from hispanions could be heard. As he raised his head, only a torrent of Wind des could be seen.

    "Bang!"

    Instantly, he was flung away.

    Insta-kill!

    "Afterimage!"

    The expression of everyone in the Shadowkill Squad changed greatly.

    "Good chance."

    The eyes of Xu Fei and the rest shone as they instantly threw off the suppression on them.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    They proceeded to counterattack.

    The Shadowkill Squad specialized in ambush and assassinations. Their strongest gic abilities were also catered toward this aspect. However, as soon as they lost their superiority and were forced to have a head-on confrontation, they were simply not a match for Xu Fei¡¯s squad.

    Umbra, the squad leader clenched his teeth. "Retreat!"

    "Go after them," Xu Fei coldly ordered.

    Wanting to escape after ambushing? How could things be so easy?

    Bang!

    They started furiously chasing after the Shadowkill Squad.

    "You are courting death." Shadow¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly as he coldly said, "The reason we choose to not confront you all head on was to avoid heavy casualties. Do you really believe we can¡¯t defeat you all?!"

    Xiu!

    Shadow tossed out a gene reagent flickering with a bizarre radiance.

    His eyes were filled with viciousness.

    This was what you forced me to do! Especially you, Chen Feng!

    "Be careful!"

    The expression of Xu Fei¡¯s group changed greatly. They could sense that an unusual power was contained within this gene reagent. At such a crucial moment, an item tossed out by Shadow would most definitely not be something ordinary.

    They braced themselves for the attack.

    Light flickered in Umbra¡¯s eyes. "Shadow Attack!"

    Shua!

    At this, the tossed gene reagent vanished within the shadows. When it appeared once again, it was already in front of Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    "Not good."

    The hearts of Xu Fei¡¯s group throbbed violently.

    They¡¯re finished!

    If such a terrifying gene reagent were to explode at this distance...

    "Explode!"

    Shadow tried activating it with his spiritual energy.

    Hum¡ª

    urately, his spiritual energynded on the gene reagent.

    However, at this very instant, noiselessly, a hand stretched out and grabbed that gene reagent. That flickering radiance in the gene reagent instantly stopped at that moment.

    What was happening?

    Everyone was dumbstruck.

    One could even forcefully stop the explosion of a gene reagent?

    "How is that possible?"

    Shadow¡¯s eyes widened as he stared at Chen Feng with an unbelievable expression, "That is an earthdragon gene reagent with the power of peak D-ss expert! How is it possible for you to deactivate it?"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He looked at the gene reagent in his hand with an odd expression.

    Mhm...

    Earthdragon gene reagent? Why does this sound so familiar? Oh, yeah. This is what I used to trick An Te¡¯s squad back then, right?

    Surprisingly... Shadow actually believed what he¡¯d said back then. Moreover, he had been keeping this item in his collection like some precious item, keeping it all this while until now!

    As he thought of this, Chen Feng looked at Shadow, pity in his eyes. How sad.

    Shadow: "???"

    "Kill!" Xu Fei ordered decisively. He was already used to the miracles created by Chen Feng. At this moment, he was instead the fastest person to calm down here.

    Shua!

    Once again, they charged forth.

    "Trash!" Umbra cursed.

    The so-called trump card that Shadow had bragged about to them for a long time had actually ended up this way?

    What a scam!

    Fortunately... he had his own trump card as well.

    Hu¡ª

    He inhaled as he nced at Xu Fei with his ice-cold eyes before shutting his eyes.

    "Myriad Mist Confounding Imprint!"

    Shua!

    Abruptly, a nket of mist emerged.

    Umbra and his squad vanished instantly, concealed amid the mist.

    After a short while, when the mist disappeared, not a trace of them remained.

    Xu Fei frowned. "They escaped?"

    "Monkey."

    "Understood." Light flickered in Monkey¡¯s eyes. However, he failed to locate them.

    Since the Shadowkill Squad specialized in concealment and assassination, the moment they hid themselves, they were simply impossible to find.

    "Forget it." Xu Fei shook his head. "No point wasting our time here."

    "All right." Monkey stopped searching.

    "Since we are now aware of their existence, we won¡¯t fall to the same ambush again." Xu Fei¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly as he said, "If they dare try to ambush us again, I will definitely ensure their death!"

    The Shadowkill Squad specialized in ambushing and assassinations. The moment they were discovered and plotted against, it was very probable they would die without even realizing how they¡¯d died. This was especially true with Chen Feng around.

    "Thanks." Xu Fei expressed his gratitude. He knew that it wouldn¡¯t be wrong to have Chen Feng join them. This guy that had always been good at creating miracles had now be even more terrifying after obtaining first ce at the Gene Rookie Competition and joining the Gene Production Association¡¯s headquarters.

    "No worries." A toying smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. He had never expected that the aurora gene reagent he¡¯d lost back then would actually be recovered.

    "Let¡¯s go."

    Xu Fei decided to choose a different location to lure the timber roon leader.

    "All right."

    Chen Feng nodded. In actuality, he would be able to easily determine the position of the Shadowkill Squad and timber roon leader. However, since his present luck value was at a measly 20 points, unless it was absolutely necessary, he would definitely not waste his luck values.

    However, surprisingly, when they found a new spot they presumed to be safe and prepared to lure the timber roon leader, an odd scream resounded from a distance.

    That aura and voice...

    Xu Fei¡¯s expression changed slightly. "It¡¯s a timber roon leader and the Shadowkill Squad!"

    "Damn it!"

    Their expressions turned unsightly. That damnable Shadowkill Squad decided to spoil their mission now that the Shadowkill Squad had failed their ambush.

    "Quick!"

    They rushed over filled with killing intent. However, when they arrived, they were all stupefied.

    There, the Shadowkill Squad could be seen battling the timber roon leader.

    However, different from what they had expected, the Shadowkill Squad had lost another one of their members. A timber roon that was obviouslyrger than ordinary timber roons could be seen chasing after Umbra and Shadow.

    Their nostrils were assailed by the aroma of cumin paste lingering in the air.

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    ??

    What¡¯s going on?

    Everyone nked. True, the timber roon leader might have been powerful, but the agility attributes of the members of the Shadowkill Squad were all excessively high. Even if they couldn¡¯t defeat it, it shouldn¡¯t have been a problem to escape, right?

    This, this, this...

    Shua!

    With a flicker, Umbra vanished.

    However...

    Bang!

    The raging timber roon leader stomped the ground and Umbra once again reappeared from his concealment.

    "What?"

    Xu Fei¡¯s heart throbbed.

    The timber roon leader was actually capable of discovering the concealed Umbra? It was so terrifyingly powerful?

    "That¡¯s not it." Monkey activated his ability as both his eyes flickered unceasingly. An odd expression was on his face. "That¡¯s because there¡¯s a smell of cumin paste on Umbra¡¯s body. Hence..."

    At this, everyone became speechless. No wonder those guys had failed to escape the timber roon leader. There was simply no need for the timber roon leader to break their concealment. It only needed to follow the smell for Umbra to have nowhere to hide.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Umbra was viciously beaten up. The roon¡¯s w with a stench of cumin paste on it stomped on Umbra¡¯s chest without stop. At this moment, Umbra appeared iparably pitiful.

    "Shadow..." Umbra cried for help.

    At a distance, Shadow merely nced at him before turning around and fleeing.

    "Save me..."

    Umbra begged for help from Xu Fei¡¯s group. However, Xu Fei and the rest merely exchanged nces before they retreated.

    What joke was that? This timber roon leader was obviously quite unusual and frighteningly vicious. Why should they go up to it at this moment? To court death?

    Everyone left speedily and only stop moving after a long time. They had no choice but to stop. They had to start finding a solution for a very grave problem: how to kill this timber roon leader.

    Their head ached. After taking a detour and avoiding the multitude of people, after avoiding the robbers, they were finally here. However, for some f*cking reason, this timber roon leader was so powerful!

    Xu Fei calcted the strength of both sides and discovered with grief that they would not be able to defeat that cumin-stained timber roon.

    This was the mostmentable fact of their current predicament.

    "There¡¯s something wrong with how this plot is developing..."

    Everyone smiled bitterly.

    "That timber roon leader," Xu Fei paused before continuing, "was much more powerful than all the timber roon leaders we have read about."

    Oh?

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. If the timber roon was sufficiently powerful, then he could use its blood essence to produce his gene reagent...

    Chen Feng became excited.

    "Forget it."

    The rest exchanged nces.

    Since an unforeseen circumstance had appeared in this mission, they would not be able to continue it. This timber roon leader was too powerful. They were simply not its match.

    Xu Fei nodded. "I will cancel the mission, then."

    To know when to give up was the sensible thing to do. The reason they took on missions in the first ce was to temper themselves anyway. There was no point to throw their life away.

    "How about you?"

    Xu Fei looked at Chen Feng.

    "All right."

    Chen Feng did not find that decision surprising.

    For Xu Fei¡¯s group, this was merely an ordinary mission. There was simply no need for them to put their life on the line. However, for Chen Feng, this was a very good opportunity.

    He would go back to better prepare himself beforeing again, Chen Feng decided inwardly.

    "Let¡¯s go then."

    They left speedily.

    Due to the existence of this timber roon leader here, the atmosphere at the depths of Withered Prairie had be somewhat bizarre.

    Just as they were about to leave.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Numerous people appeared. A whole group of gic warriors with excellent equipment appeared from the outeryer of Withered Prairie, forming a huge blockade around the inneryer.

    "Be careful," Monkey warned.

    Rapidly, they concealed themselves among the bushes.

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    The rest were confused. Apart from timber roon hunters, since when had so many people of different factions gathered here at this ce?

    "Look," Chen Feng whispered.

    The rest looked over and found that this newly appeared group was gradually approaching a certain direction. That was where the timber roon leader was at! Their target was actually the timber roon leader?

    "A fully armed army is required to hunt nowadays?" Xu Fei was too powerless to even berate this.

    Chen Feng sneered. "I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not this simple."

    The abnormally powerful timber roon leader, the sudden appearance of an army of gic warriors... If one told him that both these incidents were unrted, Chen Feng would not believe it.

    Seemed like something was about to happen. However, since they knew the location of the timber roon, why had they not gone in directly? Instead, they were surrounding it from the outeryer?

    Chen Feng had a faint, ominous feeling.

    "Monkey, shield us from their detection."

    "Understood."

    They avoided that group¡¯s range of detection as they retreated carefully.

    However... there was nowhere for them to retreat. They were already getting near that timber roon leader¡¯s position as they retreated from the army. If they were to continue retreating, they would definitely be discovered.

    At this time, the people from that army finally saw the badly beaten Umbra.

    "Save me."

    Umbra, who was barely alive, cried happily for help.

    Pu!

    With a sh, they killed Umbra directly. Only after that did they lock onto the timber roon leader.

    "His¡ª"

    Chen Feng¡¯s group inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    These guys...

    "They are clearing this ce." Xu Fei suddenly understood what was happening, "This timber roon with cumin paste stench is most probably rted to some secret that these people do not want anyone to know. Hence, before dealing with the timber roon, they will kill everyone else."

    As the rest heard this, their expressions changed greatly.

    If that was truly the case... it would be dangerous for them!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The army of gic warriors started a prudent inspection of the area, not leaving a stone unturned. Chen Feng¡¯s group retreated without stop. However, this was the limit. If they continued, they would be definitely forced out with no way to run.

    Monkey had an unsightly expression. "My shield can¡¯t hold on much longer."

    They were simply too near. At this distance, they only needed to get slightly closer and they would be discovered immediately.

    What should they do?

    Their hearts chilled.

    It was simply unimaginable that a single timber roon hunting mission would turn out this way. Moreover, all this had happened just as they were about to give up on the mission.

    "Chen Feng..."

    Xu Fei looked at Chen Feng in anticipation. In such a situation, Chen Feng should be the only one capable of creating miracles, right? He was sure that the Chen Feng today with his different status would definitely have some formidable trump cards.

    "Shh¡ª"

    Chen Feng put his finger on his lips.

    Hum¡ª

    Noiselessly, his Luck Aura was activated. Chen Feng truly hadn¡¯t had much chance to save up his luck value during the past two days. Even the 20 points that he¡¯d saved up till yesterday were used up when Xu Fei¡¯s group were epting the mission. The only luck values he had presently were what he¡¯d saved since yesterday till today.

    However, this also gave Chen Feng another perfect chance to try something he did not normally try, since his avable luck value was already low anyway.

    To alter reality!

    With 20 points of luck value, what could Luck Aura aplish?

    Ten points!

    Shua!

    Half his luck value remained.

    Yi?

    Chen Feng was somewhat surprised.

    It was as he willed, where only 10 points of luck value were consumed?

    Shua!

    Those people continued their inspection.

    Chen Feng¡¯s group was sprawled among the bushes, not daring to make the tiniest movement.

    Just as those people were getting near them, when Xu Fei was about to take the initiative to attack them first, he was stopped by Chen Feng. Since the luck value had already been consumed, the Luck Aura must have worked on something. However, he wanted to see, with only 10 points of luck values, what would actually happen? He was especially curious as to what Luck Aura could aplish in their current circumstance.

    "Ka!"

    "Ka!"

    The footsteps neared. The aura of the scouts had already brushed past them several times. Those people were only a step away from them!

    The captain of the security was carefully inspecting everywhere. He was the executioner appointed for this mission. Hence, he could not allow any carelessness. At this moment, his wristband buzzed. A screen popped up before a panting voice with a trace of terror in it could be heard.

    "Not good, something happened."

    The captain¡¯s expression changed slightly. "What¡¯s the matter?!"

    "The people from the upper levels saw the recordings and requested a repeat on the steps of our previous experiment to see if anything new could be found. Hence, they found a timber roon leader and prepared to roast it. Even the fire was prepared. After they roasted the timber roon leader for one whole minute, that timber roon leader started raging." Theb assistant in the screen said with terror, "Although we had made some preparations for it, we hadn¡¯t expected something to really happen. Hence, some mistakes were made, and that timber roon escaped as well."

    "????"

    The captain¡¯s mouth was stuck agape for a long time.

    Another one?

    What on earth are you guys ying with?

    The captain¡¯s expression was unsightly. "Did ite to the Withered Prairie as well?"

    "Yes," the assistant replied with a solemn expression. "This ce is more suited for them and is also the closest to our factory. Hence, after leaving the factory, it started heading in this direction."

    "Fine, then." The captain inhaled deeply to calm himself before saying, "So I only need to lock onto the stench of cumin paste to find it before capturing it back alive, right?"

    "No." The assistant felt somewhat awkward. "This time around, we used the spicy vor."

    The captain¡¯s face darkened. "..."

 Chapter 211: Target Confirmed!

    Chapter 211: Target Confirmed!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    These idiots!

    The captain was ashen faced.

    He was the captain of security in charge of the security at the test site. Due to the trouble caused by these idiotic researchers, he had no choice but to get some people with him toe out for a hunt. Unexpectedly, just as he brought a huge amount ofbatants out of the test site, those researchers still had the guts to reproduce the same scenario that had mutated the timber roon leader? Were they brave or stupid?

    "Remember. Wait for my return!" the captain gnashed these words out of his teeth. "You are all researchers with nobat power. If anything happens, what will I do? If you want to conduct any experiments, wait until I¡¯ve returned. All right?"

    "Yes, yes, yes."

    The assistant did not dare to act recklessly anymore.

    Pa!

    The captain ended the call. He was now convinced of the guts these researchers had.

    As he stood up, he started redrawing their goals.

    "Lock this cumin-pasted timber roon down first. We must not allow it to escape. The other spicy timber roon is here as well. We must deal with that one first. On top of that, no outsiders can discover anything!"

    "Understood."

    Everyone listened to his orders.

    Shua!

    Once again, they readjusted their positions.

    The group left hastily to look for the spicy timber roon. Only at this did Chen Feng¡¯s group exhale in relief. They had evaded it!

    "It was indeed a problem caused by experiments," Xu Fei whispered.

    "Mhm. Seems like this timber roon is something that escaped from theirb."

    Chen Feng was confused.

    Timber roon!

    Experiment!

    Spicy and cumin paste?

    What type of experiments were these people conducting?

    "Was it an experiment for some food processing nt?" Zhou Liang guessed.

    Only those from a food processing nt would research using ingredients like cumin paste and spicy voring, right? However, if it was a food processing nt, how had the timber roon leader mutated?

    No one knew the answer to that.

    Xu Fei¡¯s ominous feeling deepened. "Will we be able to leave?"

    "We can¡¯t." Monkey inhaled deeply. "The outeryer is blockaded by gic warriors, while the inneryer has patrols everywhere. Now, the whole inneryer of the Withered Prairie has be a forbidden area belonging to them. This is the only ce we can move freely in."

    Monkey pointed toward the deeper region of the Withered Prairie.

    "Let¡¯s go," Xu Fei said decisively. "They will find us soon if we continue staying here. Since that¡¯s the case, we might as well prate deep into the depths of this Withered Prairie. When they are battling those two timber roon leaders... we can escape amid the chaos."

    "All right."

    Everyone nodded.

    Shua!

    Noiselessly, they concealed themselves. Chen Feng nced in the direction the gic warriors were leaving toward and an odd expression appeared on his face. He had never expected that this would be the result of his luck value.

    Coincidence?

    Or perhaps...

    What experiment was it, exactly, that these people were conducting?

    Chen Feng was very curious.

    Currently, the timber roon leader with spicy aroma had finally appeared. Only after the group exhausted all methods avable to them did they manage to surround this timber roon leader.

    As of now, both timber roon leaders had been sessfully surrounded.

    "Capture them," the captain ordered decisively.

    Bang!

    The gic warriors charged forth.

    Both of these timber roon leaders were extremely powerful at the peak of D ss. However, due to the high amount of gic warriors that had appeared this time, both were forcefully trapped.

    "Ao ao ao¡ª"

    The timber roons howled furiously. However, they still ended up captured alive.

    "Take them away," the captain said coldly.

    Currently, Chen Feng¡¯s group was quietly sprawled in the bushes with no movement. Monkey¡¯s concealment ability could only weaken the signs of their existence.

    They are finally leaving.

    Xu Fei exhaled in relief.

    However, at this moment, the captain issued a calmmand as he suddenly said, "Do another round of inspection. We must ensure that we did not miss anyone that infiltrated into here."

    "Roger." The rest nodded. This was their security captain. Cautious, intelligent, and strong.

    "Damn it!"

    Xu Fei and the rest had an ominous feeling.

    It wasn¡¯t easy for them to luck out earlier and avoid trouble. Now, they actually...

    Seemed like something was going to happen soon.

    They were extremely anxious.

    The moment they were discovered, they would definitely be killed to silence them. One had to know that they were the ones that had witnessed the whole course of events as those gic warriors captured the timber roon leaders.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Another round of inspections began.

    "Is there a need for this?"

    Chen Feng shook his head helplessly.

    Friend, do you know that if you are too cautious, the one suffering will be you as well?

    Hum¡ª

    Luck Aura activated.

    Shua!

    The final 10 points of luck value were instantly exhausted.

    Shua!

    As the of inspection reached Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    Hum¡ª

    The captain¡¯s wristband buzzed once again.

    The captain had a bad feeling. "What happened?"

    "S-something happened!" The assistant¡¯s face appeared colorful. "Another mutation!"

    "What?" The captain nked and said, "You all repeated the experiment?"

    "No." The assistant smiled bitterly. "Since we know that there¡¯s some problem with timber roons, we did not dare to act recklessly. However, due to the two timber roon leader incidents, we don¡¯t have much food left. Even the chef was dead. Everyone was too hungry and decided to roast some turkeys. Unexpectedly..."

    The captain widened his eyes. "The turkeys mutated?"

    "Yes, those turkeys¡ª"

    Before the assistant could even finish his sentence, terror appeared in his eyes.

    "Go away!"

    "Be careful!"

    Screams could be heard reverberating.

    In the screen, the assistant could be seen running furiously while a turkey with chili oil all over its body chased after the assistant behind him.

    ng!

    With a loud ttering, the transmission ended.

    What was that?

    Aromatic pepper chicken?

    The captain was bewildered. He felt like his whole worldview was copsing upon him. It hadn¡¯t even been a day since he¡¯d left theb, yet so many things had happened there?

    "Damn it!" The captain clenched his teeth. "Go back immediately!"

    "Roger."

    They left hastily.

    Calm returned to the Withered Prairie.

    Zhou Ling patted her chest nervously. "Too scary."

    "Yeah," Tie Shi agreed.

    It was at this time that Monkey¡¯smunication tool buzzed. He took a nce at it and said, "Someone discovered a timber roon leader at Withered Ind."

    "Withered Ind..." Xu Fei¡¯s eyes shone. "Let¡¯s go!"

    He felt that anywhere else would be safer than remaining here.

    "How about you?"

    He looked at Chen Feng.

    "I won¡¯t be joining." Chen Feng smiled. "I need to return to the headquarters to make a report."

    "All right," Xu Fei replied with a smile. "If there¡¯s anything, you can contact me anytime."

    Soon, Xu Fei left with his squad.

    Chen Feng stared at the direction the security captain was heading toward as he became excited.

    Test site, eh... Hehe.

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    Since cumin paste timber roon and spicy timber roon had appeared, would an evenrger timber roon leader appear there?

    He was filled with anticipation. He knew that this was an exceptionally good opportunity for him. The blood essence of these timber roons would definitely be much more powerful than ordinary timber roon leaders. They would most certainly have richer genes within their blood essence as well.

    This was the optimal material for Chen Feng!

    That was a ce Chen Feng had to go! There, he would definitely find a powerful timber roon leader¡¯s blood essence!

    Chen Feng anticipated it. Naturally, before going, he had to prepare himself appropriately. Now that his luck values werepletely exhausted, hisbat power was greatly reduced. Moreover, his Peril Rebirth had been exhausted previously. If he wanted to go to a ce like that, he definitely had to make a lot of preparations.

    In the evening, Chen Feng returned to Star City. He was not in a rush to look for the timber roon leader. From those people¡¯s conversation, he knew that they had yet to figure out the reason for the timber roon¡¯s mutations. Hence, they would require time for their research, and this gave Chen Feng the time he required to prepare himself.

    After seven days, he finished his preparations. One set of Peril Rebirth, numerous other gene reagents, and 103 points of luck value. Apart from this, he had also prepared multiple sets of materials for timber roon gene reagent production.

    Everything was prepared.

    Shua!

    Luck Aura ¨C Lockdown!

    Target: Security captain!

    Soon, the information rted to the security captain appeared in his brain.

    Shua!

    Three points of luck value exhausted, target located.

    "Done."

    Chen Feng was excited.

    The strongest timber roon leader? Here Ie!

 Chapter 212: Sneaking In

    Chapter 212: Sneaking In

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    It waste at night. At the abandoned factory, the previously chaotic test site had returned to normal. Currently, a group of researchers were researching crazily. Despite theck of rest, they were still extremely excited, to the point that it could be seen in their frenzy-filled eyes.

    Before themy a timber roon leader.

    Chi¡ª

    Gene reagent injected.

    However, another failure.

    Regardless of what experiment they conducted, they were unable to unearth the hidden power within this thing. The other group that was researching the turkey was fruitless in their research as well.

    Perhaps...

    A different factor had caused the mutations? In the legends, any research breakthrough was always apanied by luck and coincidence.

    Now, what they needed to do was figure out what this coincidence was.

    If a timber roon leader could easily mutate, the mutation would have been discovered long ago. Hence, what was the hidden mutation it had within its body? Instinctively, everyone recalled something.

    "We have yet to touch the spot where we initially roasted the timber roon, right?"

    "Nope," the assistant replied.

    Due to two incidents and the chef¡¯s death, that ce was already on lockdown.

    "Good. Let¡¯s repeat it, then."

    "All right."

    This time, the whole area was fully secured. They repeated what had previously happened and, indeed, a mutated timber roon leader was once again created. This time, its body was stained with a dense ck bean aroma.

    "Perhaps," someone guessed, "apart from the timber roon¡¯s body, the fire used here is rted to it as well?"

    Shua!

    Everyone¡¯s eyes shone. The direction of their experiment started changing.

    After a long time, they finally found the mystery behind the mutation.

    It was not the fire, nor was it the kitchen. Instead, it was the burning firewood! In order to pursue perfection in taste, the chef had chosen to use firewood instead of energy stones for roasting. The firewood coupled with the hidden power within the timber roon leader and the turkey... had resulted in the mysterious scenes they¡¯d witnessed.

    The firewood that had been used possessed a mysterious power of rebirth!

    "Try it out."

    They started their experiment in excitement.

    This time, the subject of their experiment was still a timber roon leader. A timber roon leader was sent over urgently. They started the experiment in a serious, orderly fashion. The power of the firewood was fully monitored. Slowly, they witnessed the mutation of this timber roon leader.

    "Ao¡ª"

    An angry roar.

    An authentic-vor timber roon leader was birthed.

    ng!

    ng!

    The awakened timber roon leader bumped into the defensive wall unceasingly. The researchers were filled with excitement, "Haha, indeed, it¡¯s the power of the firewood."

    This time, they had not roasted the timber roon leader. Instead, they¡¯d simply ignited the power within the firewood and forced it to blend into the body of the timber roon leader. Next, the timber roon leader had noiselessly mutated.

    ng!

    ng!

    The whole workshop was shaking. The security captain wiped his cold sweat. These lunatics!

    Even if their whole security force was currently present, he was still worried. After mutation, this furious timber roon leader had actually gone up to C ss from D ss. He was doubting that this workshop would be able to hold it in.

    "Be extra cautious," the captain reminded them.

    "Don¡¯t worry. This time, we prepared thoroughly. This defensive ss is capable of blocking even peak C-ss attacks. A mere timber roon leader will not be able to break through, no matter how strong it gets," the researcher exined.

    Only at this did the captain quietly retire himself.

    "Then... prepare the experiment data."

    "Haha, as the discoverers of this mysterious power, we can now be full-fledged members of the organization as well, as project supervisors."

    They were excited. This was the good point of their organization. As long as someone unearthed any powerful and mysterious power, the moment they passed the organization¡¯s authentication, they would receive a huge amount of research funding. Naturally, all the data rted to their research had to be submitted for that. As long as their research was a sess, they would be able to be core members of this organization, regardless of their strength.

    Presently, they could only be considered outer members of the organization. As an outer member, they would be able to obtain a certain amount of information for their research. Those at the higher levels would only give them a direction to pursue. As for whether they could get a result from their research, one could only guess.

    "We are going to be sessful soon. Haha, Xia Yan relied on her rtionship with Teacher to be part of the dark energy project to enter the organization. Now, we seeded all by ourselves!" a female researcher said proudly.

    "I know, right?"

    Everyone was excited.

    They¡¯d seeded! As long as they sent their applications to the organization, someone would be sent here soon to authenticate their results.

    "Prepare ourselves. The time to change our fate is here!"

    They were excited. The air was pervaded by a joyous mood.

    Currently, outside the abandoned factory, a silhouette noiselessly appeared.

    Chen Feng was here. Carrying a bundle, he sprawled on the ground.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Two silhouettes shed past. These were the patrols of the factory.

    Chen Feng frowned. "Two D sses."

    The opponents were of a higher ss than Chen Feng. If he wanted to kill them, he would be forced to fight someone of a higher ss. If he were to mount a sneak attack with Myriad Illusionary Wind de...

    In movies, the main characters would always sneak in while ambushing anyone they saw with a snap to the neck before continuing. Just like that, the main character would kill anyone he encountered.

    However...

    Chen Feng looked at their wrists. The wristbands they used were different from the civilian wristband Chen Feng had. Their wristbands were all red colored. This was the alert-edition wristband with numerous unique chips within.

    Their functions included recording signs of life and establishing a local-areawork ofmunication even with the absence of the inte.

    Chen Feng was sure that, as long as a single one of them was killed, all the other security details would be notified.

    Chen Feng sighed. "They were so generous toward their security?"

    Since sneak attacks wouldn¡¯t work, he could only look for a different approach.

    "My goal is not to kill. Instead, it¡¯s the timber roon leader. Mhm..."

    Chen Feng contemted. If he was only here for the timber roon leader, wouldn¡¯t it work fine if he simply sunk them into chaos?

    For this, he had too many suitable items prepared.

    He stared ahead.

    This was an abandoned factory. To conceal their aura and avoid the Gic Union¡¯s detection, they did not even dare to use the new-age energy supply. Instead, they were using the old electricity powering method.

    "Old-fashioned electricity eh?"

    Chen Feng smiled. This would make things interesting.

    He raised his hand slightly.

    Shua!

    Luck Aura, activate!

    Bang!

    With a spark, a perfectly fine power cord short-circuited immediately. With that, the whole abandoned factory sunk onto darkness.

    Unhurriedly, Chen Feng fished out several gene reagents. He was now extremely proficient in all of the E ss and F ss gene reagents. They might¡¯ve sounded weak, however...

    Bang!

    An intense light wave dispersed.

    That was a 2-star E-ss gene reagent that was used to cause a disturbance. It would create an immense heat undtion capable of increasing the temperature of anything with heat in it for a duration of ten minutes.

    Bang!

    A sh of blue undting energy.

    That was a 4-star E-ss gene reagent that was used to cause a disturbance. It would create a huge undtion of maic energy that caused all energy-based equipment to stop working temporarily for a duration of ten minutes.

    Bang!

    A huge dense fog instantly started spreading.

    That was a 3-star E-ss gene reagent that was used to cause a disturbance. It was able to create a dense fog within a huge area to obscure the vision of the people within. It also possessed a certain amount of signal-blocking effect.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    A chaotic mess of gene reagents used to create a disturbance were tossed out by Chen Feng.

    The originally fresh air was instantly filled with a huge amount of electromaic interference, dense fog, red radiance, odd smells, ear-piercing sound waves, and neurotoxins.

    Bang!

    The whole factory erupted into chaos.

    Then... time to start!

    Silently, Chen Feng took out the defensive equipment he had previously prepared. Currently, his biggest advantage was the fact that his enemy was shown, whereas he was still an unknown factor to them.

    Shua!

    Noiselessly, his silhouette disappeared.

    Currently, those researchers were still celebrating their sess. Suddenly, darkness descended upon them.

    "The electricity went out?"

    "Don¡¯t worry. Nothing will happen," one of the researchers said with a smile. "Even if the main electric supply is lost, we still have independent electricity generators in each workshop..."

    Hum¡ª

    Noiselessly, the defensive walls in the timber roon leader¡¯s cage opened.

    "Be careful."

    The expressions of the security there changed greatly.

    "Ao¡ª"

    An angry roar.

    The abandoned factory was currently in a chaotic state.

    "Don¡¯t get confused!" the security captain shouted as he hastily arrived. "Get out of the way. Let me deal with it."

    His strength was sufficient to deal with this mutated timber roon leader.

    However, right at this moment, some abnormal things suddenly blended into the air. Everyone could only feel the emergence of a huge nket of white mist and hear a session of rumbling noises by their ears while their nose started smelling some odd smells. Their bodies became somewhat numb and out of control.

    The world before them had suddenly be indistinct.

 Chapter 213: Limit Breakthrough!

    Chapter 213: Limit Breakthrough!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "What are these things?"

    "Be careful!

    "Ah¡ª"

    The abandoned factory was in a chaotic state.

    "Enemy attack!"

    "Hum¡ª"

    With the security captain as the center, a gentle white aura spread, forming a huge protective barrier to block out all those weird things.

    E-ss gene reagents were, after all, still quite weak. Against these D-ss gic warriors and the C-ss security captain, these E-ss gene reagents were simply incapable of harming them.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The security members hastily rescued everyone. Apart from the three researchers who¡¯d died during the initial chaos, there were no other casualties.

    "Go!"

    The security captain left hastily with them. However, after covering just a short distance, those researchers that had recovered their cool immediately started shouting, "The test data and the firewood..."

    "We will talk when we get out of here," the security captain coldly said.

    "No, we can¡¯t!" the researchers howled. "This is an enemy attack. They are here for our research results. Our years of research have just borne some results; we can¡¯t lose them!"

    "Is your life or the research more important?" the security captain bellowed.

    All the researchers said the same thing: "The research is more important!"

    Security captain: "..."

    Bunch of morons!

    "Without our research results, we won¡¯t leave," the researchers said calmly. Moreover, some of them started doubting the captain. "It can¡¯t be that some outsiders are colluding with you guys to steal our results, right?"

    In their memory, such urrences were quitemon!

    Security captain: "...."

    Hu¡ª

    He inhaled deeply. If his mission didn¡¯t require him to protect these people, he would definitely ughter them now.

    "You all, bring them away. I will..."

    Instinctively, he started making arrangements for that. However, as he thought of it, he was afraid that this was their enemy¡¯s trick to lure him away. If he truly left them, what if these idiots all ended up killed?

    "Forget it. We will go take the results together. Since the enemy used such an ambush method, it shows that our enemy¡¯sbat power is nothing great. Still, you must follow all of my orders," the security captain coldly said. "In there, there is a mutated timber roon and unknown enemies!"

    The researchers were overjoyed. "Understood."

    Currently, only darkness could be seen before them.

    The security captain sneered. "Hmph."

    Interference? How long had it been since he¡¯dst used such poor tactics? For those at C ss, even if they were to create interference, it would be at arger scale. For example, a terrifying power descending from the sky to restrict all skills with an incredibly powerful anti-interference capability, with illusions generated on top of all that.

    That was what he would consider true interference.

    As for all this before him... What ythings were these?

    Regardless of the amount of E-ss gene reagents used, they would not be a match to those in C ss.

    Shua!

    With a sh of light, everything within 10 meters was purged. His terrifying C-ss aura started shaking as all the interfering energy around them was pushed away without doing any damage to them. With this, the hunt amidst the darkness began.

    Currently, Chen Feng was calmly traveling within the factory.

    Timber roon leader...

    Shua!

    With the infrared goggles he was wearing, he could view everything clearly. Although the E-ss gene reagents he¡¯d used earlier were incapable of causing any actual harm to the people here, those people were also unable topletely defend against these gene reagents. Now, with the darkness and his infrared goggles, everyone here appeared extremely clear to him.

    All life forms appeared incredibly conspicuous amidst the darkness. This was the true meaning of using interference gene reagents.

    There was no need for these gene reagents to kill.

    "Timber roon leader..."

    "Mhm."

    Chen Feng locked onto the timber roon leader¡¯s position.

    That workshop.

    Surprisingly, though, Chen Feng found that those security members that had just escaped were all rushing back toward the workshop.

    "What are they doing?"

    Chen Feng felt doubtful.

    At times like this, shouldn¡¯t they be carefully guarding against the unknown enemies? Due to Chen Feng¡¯s sudden appearance, these security members were supposed to be protecting the researchers and leaving the area. After all, they had no idea how many enemies they were currently facing.

    Why were they returning?

    Chen Feng frowned.

    With these people returning suddenly, his n was spoiled. Unless...

    There was something even more important in that workshop?

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    The timber roon mutation¡¯s research results!

    Shua!

    He was somewhat enticed. If that was the case...

    He hastened his footsteps.

    Currently, within the factory, Chen Feng and the security members were rushing toward the workshop. There, a mutated timber roon leader was wandering around.

    Chen Feng was at peak E ss.

    As for the security...

    A number of D-ss warriors and an early C-ss captain!

    They were the stronger side here. The only superiority of Chen Feng¡¯s was the fact that his opponents had yet to discover him.

    "Since their target is the research results and the materials, they will definitely prioritize grabbing the materials and research results before retreating. As for that timber roon..."

    Chen Feng took a look.

    He was not able to judge how powerful the timber roon was. However, from its howl, it was stronger than the cumin paste and spicy timber roons he¡¯d met previously. This timber roon here had probably reached C ss. This would be too hard for Chen Feng to deal with.

    "If a battle were to erupt between them, things would be easier for me."

    Chen Feng¡¯s brain started working rapidly.

    When he reached the workshop, the security members had already obtained the research results and materials and were preparing to retreat. On the other hand, that timber roon had not even noticed the movement here.

    All the security members were moving quietly, incredibly professional in what they were doing.

    "Wanting to leave just like that?"

    Chen Feng smiled.

    Myriad Illusionary Wind de! Erupt!

    His target was not those security members. Instead, it was the entrance of the workshop.

    Bang!

    A chain of yellow Wind des shot forth, apanied by some odd mucus Wind des. With that, the initially spacious entrance was instantly blocked. The energy undtion released even attracted the timber roon.

    "Howl!"

    The timber roon charged over furiously.

    "Damn it!" The eyes of the security captain gleamed coldly. "Break through with force and leave promptly!"

    "Understood!"

    "Bang!"

    They started bombarding the sealed entrance.

    As the raging timber roon arrived, a terrifying energy bloomed from the captain¡¯s body while a storm started brewing within his body. Instantly, his secret art erupted.

    4-star secret art ¨C Storm Strike!

    Bang!

    The terrifying storm started wreaking havoc.

    After getting hit head-on by the captain¡¯s attack, the raging timber roon was flung away.

    "Go!"

    The captain maintained his cool and stopped attacking before bringing everyone away speedily.

    They were guards, not fighters. He was clear on what the appropriate thing to do was. Moreover, there was also an unknown third party hidden within the darkness!

    They had to leave!

    "Truly dedicated to his job," Chen Fengmented.

    Then... contribute some energy for me while you¡¯re at it.

    "Bang!"

    Chen Feng attacked abruptly.

    "Courting death!" The captain¡¯s gaze was ice cold. He had been waiting for this enemy for way too long.

    Bang!

    Instantly, a terrifying energy bloomed. He had just used Storm Strike earlier and was unable to condense a simrly powerful energy immediately after. However, even a normal attack of this captain¡¯s was still a C-ss attack.

    Bang!

    Countless Wind des collided with the storm.

    Bang!

    The huge amount of Wind des were instantly torn apart by the storm. After destroying the Wind des, the terrifying storm arrived in front of Chen Feng.

    Bang!

    Once again, a terrifying eruption of power.

    Pu!

    Chen Feng spurted a mouthful of blood.

    Injured?

    The enemy is so weak?

    The captain nked. Someone daring to ambush them was actually this weak? Instinctively, he wanted to chase after the enemy. However, as he saw the research results in his hand, he decided to make the wise choice, stopping his steps. This enemy here might still be trying to lure him away.

    He could not fall for this!

    "Leave first," he said calmly.

    Regardless of whether the enemy was a full team or a single individual, he would deal with them after ensuring the security of everything he needed to protect.

    In this factory... the enemy had nowhere to run anyway.

    "Understood."

    They left quickly.

    Not far away, Chen Feng spat a mouthful of blood out of his mouth.

    C ss is indeed an existence I can never underestimate!

    He had even gone to the extent of intentionally making his move only after his opponent had released their condensed power.

    "Ah."

    He wiped the blood dripping down his lips as he sensed the brand new energy contained within his body.

    Limit...

    Broken through!

    He had already been at the extreme limit of E ss!

    With his near death experience at the Ice River, he should have broken through long ago. However, due to the restriction ced there, he was stuck.

    However, his bottleneck was already tottering long ago. Hence... he had needed a single trigger! The trigger had not even needed to be too intense. A trigger with a moderate strength was sufficient for him to easily break through his limit and enter D ss. Now, he¡¯d done it!

    He now had 1,501 points of spiritual energy!

    The single point added had brought him into a brand new world!

    Hum¡ª

    Everything around him appeared more distinct now.

    Before his eyes, the whole world appeared bright. This was not some improvement in the quality of his spiritual energy. Instead, this was an improvement in his very nature. He could feel the increased control he had toward spiritual energy now.

    "D ss!"

    He inhaled deeply.

    Since he was now in D ss, it was time for gene production.

    He looked at the distant timber roon. Although both the timber roon and the captain were in C ss, ordinary C-ss energy still differed in nature with the energy of a C-ss secret art.

    They were as different as sky and earth.

    Evidently, this timber roon leader who had only advanced into C ss recently was incapable of enduring the terrifying power unleashed by the secret art.

    "Howl¡ª"

    It was gravely injured and was sprawled on the ground. The injuries on its body were healing without stop. However, it still required time to fully recover itself.

    "The strongest timber roon?"

    A toying smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s mouth.

    C ss, eh? This truly fills me with anticipation!

    Bang!

    A chain of Wind des shot forth.

    Goodbye!

    The heavily injured C-ss timber roon was instantly killed.

    Carefully, Chen Feng extracted from its body the sparkling and translucent-looking blood essence that was flickering with a bizarre radiance. This was what he was here for!

    Chapter 214: Erupt: Energy Equipment!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Finally...

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart was filled with anticipation.

    Let¡¯s start, then!

    Without any hesitation, Chen Feng started his gene production. He was clear on what he was doing. He was sure that the factory was nowpletely surrounded, leaving no escape route for him. However, from the start, he had never intended to escape. What he wanted was to risk it! To produce his gene reagent right here and fuse with it sessfully.

    Shua!

    He started his gene production.

    Currently, outside the factory, the security captain had finally escorted the researchers to a secured area. The researchers and the materials were all in good condition, hidden beneath some concealed ruins.

    "You guys stay here to protect them. Lock down the whole factory. The rest follow me in. Earlier, someone exchanged blows with me. However, that guy is already heavily injured. We can lock onto his position at any time. Hehe, with such strength and such inferior interference methods... I am really curious what type of robber these people that attacked us are." The captain was seething with killing intent.

    "Understood."

    Everyone obeyed hismands.

    "Storm! Disperse!"

    The captain aimed at the factory. Currently, no one from their side remained in the factory.

    Bang!

    A terrifying storm started engulfing the factory.

    A brutal and powerful storm started enveloping every corner of the factory. All those bizarre interference auras lingering around werepletely purged.

    The air was once again clear.

    "So strong."

    Everyone eximed in admiration. This was the power of their security captain. Iparably powerful.

    The captain stared coldly at the factory. "Regardless of who you are, you will pay for this. Go!"

    The captain led his people into the factory.

    The night deepened.

    Hu¡ª

    Hu¡ª

    The factory was purged by a power akin to a rainstorm.

    Chen Feng no longer had his goggles on him. Although the storm earlier was without any killing power, that powerful impact had still caused him to feel extremely ufortable. That security captain was extremely powerful!

    Time...

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    Shua!

    He fully activated his Luck Aura.

    Gene production, begun!

    Chen Feng had long ago memorized all the information of the timber roon form in his heart. Now that the gene was in his hands, he merely needed to follow the prescribed instructions and he would be able to sessfully produce it.

    However, this was far from enough for Chen Feng.

    Shua!

    Lightly, he shut his eyes.

    Hyper-dimensional mode!

    Hum¡ª

    At this, his digitized world became somewhat different. The countless genes from the blood essence started swimming around. Apart from gene production, Chen Feng needed to improve the gene as well in order to create the strongest gene for himself.

    Gene improvement!

    Shua!

    Luck Aura was running at full power.

    Hum¡ª

    First step: gene search.

    Second step: gene reaction.

    Third step...

    Chen Feng was now very well practiced in gene improvements. He was currently immersed in this. Currently, the security captain and the rest had silently entered the factory.

    "Little Tan," the captain said coldly.

    Little Tan nodded. "Understood."

    Hum¡ª

    With his detection activity activated, he was able to quickly lock onto Chen Feng¡¯s position.

    Little Tan felt somewhat doubtful. "Still at the test site."

    Test site...

    The captain frowned. So the enemy had never moved?

    Was it due to the injury being too heavy?

    Or perhaps...

    A trap?

    "Be more careful," the captain said with a deep tone. "This might be a trap."

    "Roger."

    They set forth once again. This time, they were heading directly toward Chen Feng.

    At the same time, two minutes had passed. Chen Feng had finished his production.

    "Scan."

    He scanned it with the gene scanner.

    Shua!

    The data appeared.

    ----

    Mutated Timber Roon Fusion Gene Reagent

    Difficulty: 5 stars

    Limit: D ss

    Fusion requirement: 1,000 points of spiritual energy

    Core gene: 100% increase

    Energy Equipment: Envelopes one¡¯s body in energy before assembling the energy into equipment. The assembled equipment will be able to unleash 200% of the supplied energy¡¯s power. The higher the amount of energy provided, the stronger the equipment will be. Suitable for closebat. The equipment¡¯s attributes will change in ordance with the attribute of the supplied energy.

    ----

    "Sees!"

    Chen Feng was excited. His production was sessful! Furthermore, it had mutated as well. The initial 100% power of energy supplied had now turned into 200% after mutation.

    Granted, it was still quite far from the normal attack abilities with damage amplifier reaching 500%; however, for this multipurpose ability, 200% was already an extremely powerful rate.

    An attack and defense with 200% of the supplied energy¡¯s power was absolutely powerful.

    However...

    "Only a mutation?"

    Chen Feng frowned. He had intentionally selected the strongest timber roon gene for this. Using a timber roon leader that was far more powerful than ordinary timber roon leaders and 50 points of luck value to improve the form, and this was the result?

    No peculiar attributes were added to the ability?

    Afterparing, Chen Feng noted a new sentence in the description: The equipment¡¯s attribute will change in ordance with the attribute of the supplied energy.

    "Energy attribute..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed.

    Under normal circumstances, the Energy Equipment would have no attribute. Regardless of the attribute of the energy supplied, this ability would filter out all those attributes and use the pure leftover energy to construct the equipment. This was because equipment formed with different attributes would be unstable and could easily fall apart. The seniors who had created this form in the past had probably taken this into consideration. Hence, the final form they¡¯d created filtered out all attributes.

    Now, though, the attributed equipment had resurfaced.

    With a unique method, Chen Feng had recreated it.

    Would this be a good thing? Or a bad thing? Nobody knew.

    This was a 5-star D-ss fusion gene reagent. This was, theoretically, the strongest gene reagent.

    Gulp.

    He used it directly.

    Bang!

    A surging power appeared in his body. The injuries on him were instantly healed, and the quality of his body increased. With a 100% increase in his core genes, his strength, agility and physique attributes all increased. His spiritual energy had now reached 3,000 points, reaching a height previously unreachable.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Sounds of explosions resounded within his brain.

    Improvement!

    Improvement!

    When an ordinary person broke through E ss, even after a 100% increase in their spiritual energy, the maximum increase they could get was 1,000 points of increase, since a normal E ss would only have 1,000 points of maximum spiritual energy. As for Chen Feng, his increase was much higher, since his maximum spiritual energy at E ss was much higher than an ordinary person¡¯s.

    The power of the timber roon gene bloomed.

    "Three thousand points of spiritual energy!"

    Chen Feng shut his eyes.

    He could feel the strength of that spiritual energy.

    The world of D ss! Three thousand points of spiritual energy!

    He had been stuck at peak E ss for quite a while. With a single increase, his spiritual energy was now equivalent to someone in the middle level of D ss.

    Currently, the security team was already at the entrance to the test site.

    "This power..."

    The captain narrowed his eyes.

    He sensed the power of a D ss within. Although it was not weak, it wasn¡¯t too powerful either. Only one person was detected inside.

    "Let¡¯s go," he ordered coldly.

    ng!

    The door was kicked open as the whole squad charged inside in an orderly fashion.

    When they entered, only a single Chen Feng could be seen.

    Hmph.

    With a snort.

    Xiu!

    The captain condensed the storm power in his hand before waving.

    Against a single D-ss gic warrior with spirit as his main attribute who was currently shutting his eyes for unknown reason, he was confident that a single attack was sufficient.

    However, right at this instant, a terrifying power erupted.

    Bang!

    A dazzling radiance appeared.

    An unimaginable power erupted from that person¡¯s body and brutally smashed him away. The whole test site crumbled down from the impact.

    "This is..."

    Everyone inhaled mouthfuls of cold air.

    There, the radiance faded.

    A youth enveloped by a bizarre radiance was looking at them coldly. His right hand seemed to be swaying around as boundless energy swirled around it.

    Hu¡ª

    Chen Feng exhaled deeply.

    Sess!

    He looked at the Energy Equipment on his body.

    Mhm...

    It appeared somewhatcking and was not solid enough, giving it an illusory appearance. However, its formidable power was already disyed.

    Iparable might.

    It had sessfully blocked an attack from the C-ss security captain.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng stretched his body. He could feel that his body was currently iparably lithe. The Energy Equipment wrapped around his body gave him a lighter feeling instead of restricting his movement.

    This was the power of wind.

    Attribute enhancement, eh?

    He remembered clearly that this improved Energy Equipment could obtain the attribute of the supplied energy.

    For example: Wind de?

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    This Energy Equipment would be more powerful the stronger the energy supplied. At that instant earlier, he had unleashed over 100 Wind des as an energy supply for his Energy Equipment. How could it not be powerful?

    "Go!"

    The security squad would not give Chen Feng any time to rest.

    Bang!

    A group of D-ss warriors charged forth.

    Chen Fengughed. "D ss."

    He remembered that, before the Gene Rookie Competition, when his spiritual energy had been merely 200 points, he had exchanged blows with a D-ss warrior. Even back then, he had not been defeated. Now, with his 3,000 points of spiritual energy and the powerful Energy Equipment...

    "Let me... witness your true power," Chen Feng muttered.

    Shua!

    His body vanished instantly.

    When he reappeared, he was already beside one of the security personnel.

    "How is this possible?!"

    That guy was shocked. He could clearly feel that Chen Feng¡¯s power was weaker than his. How could this...

    Bang!

    Chen Feng¡¯s right fist started shining.

    On his fist was an energy glove. With a formidable enhanced power and a rapid speed, a fistnded on the back of that security guy.

    Bang!

    The power of the punch erupted.

    Pu!

    That guy was flung away.

    Done.

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was cold.

    Using his unlimited Wind des as the energy supply, his Energy Equipment would assume the wind attribute that specialized in speed.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Chen Feng shed around, leaving numerous green-colored afterimages in the pitch-ck test site.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    With one loud sound after another, several security members were flung away before smashing into the distant wall. It was not known whether or not they were still breathing.

    Hu¡ª

    Chen Feng was overwhelmed by emotions.

    This is the power of Energy Equipment? Powerful indeed!

    He was aware that these security members were not the stronger ones among D ss. However, his current act of easily dealing with them was sufficient to showcase his current power.

    Ka!

    He clenched his fists. A terrifying power could be felt within. This was not a power resulting from his physical strength. Instead, it was an energy-generated power, a power capable of numerous transformations!

 Chapter 215: How Many Sets of Them Do You Have?

    Chapter 215: How Many Sets of Them Do You Have?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In a dark training room somewhere, a young man was painstakingly training. Sweat dripped through his bronze skin as the record in the training room was once again updated.

    "Another record created?"

    A smile appeared on the young man¡¯s mouth.

    His name was Lei Ming. A 24-year-old C-ss gic warrior.

    "Di di¡ª"

    His wristband buzzed. Lei Ming¡¯s interest was piqued after taking a look at it.

    "A Spirit Sea wood is suspected to have appeared? Interesting... Didn¡¯t that thing perish long ago?"

    Lei Ming was amazed. He rubbed the unique badge on his chest. Within this badge was a small portion of the Spirit Sea wood¡¯s power. This thing here had saved his life countless times. If it was the main body of the Spirit Sea wood...

    "It truly fills one with anticipation."

    Currently, at the abandoned factory.

    "Who are you?"

    The security captain howled. He could see that this youth was only D ss, yet evidently he was different than those ordinary gic warriors. He was much more powerful than them! Such a person was one of those that weremonly known as geniuses. Why had a person like this appeared here?

    "A passerby," Chen Feng said calmly.

    Shua!

    He took a single step forward. The radiance on his body intensified.

    Even if the security captain was a C-ss gic warrior, Chen Feng had no fear. This captain here was just nice for Chen Feng to try out the power of his Energy Equipment.

    The captain sneered. "Hmph."

    Passerby? To hell with that.

    This youth¡¯s appearance looked quite familiar. The captain couldn¡¯t recall who it was, but he reckoned this was most probably some celebrity warrior.

    "Regardless of who you are, regardless of your identity as a genius, this is not a ce you should havee to." The captain was seething with killing intent. "After killing you, I will definitely find out who you are. Hehe, to be able to kill a celebrity warrior with my own hands..."

    Bang!

    The power of storm started bubbling around him. Boundless power swirled around the captain¡¯s body. That was the power of a C ss.

    Bang!

    Two formidable auras started colliding in the air. They were actually evenly matched. At its first appearance, the Energy Equipment disyed its formidable power.

    Bang!

    The whole workshop trembled as two silhouettes could be seen colliding midair. No skills or secret arts were used, only pure, unadulterated collision. Only their afterimages could be seen in the air. The captain erupted with all his power while Chen Feng pushed his Energy Equipment to the limits.

    Suddenly.

    Bang!

    Apanied by a dazzling radiance, the captain was smashed away with a punch by Chen Feng. Instead of being rmed, he was overjoyed instead, because at that moment, the radiance surrounding Chen Feng dimmed.

    "This is what you are relying to transcend ss and fight those above you?" The captain sneered. "Now, you no longer have it on you."

    Shua!

    The dim radiance flickered before disappearing. Chen Feng¡¯s current Energy Equipment was assembled using the energy supplied by his Wind des. Hence, as the energy supplied was fully exhausted, his Energy Equipment would naturally fall apart.

    Next, it¡¯s my turn.

    The captain¡¯s gaze was cold.

    Bang!

    The power of storm condensed within his hands. He was about to make his move. However...

    "Hum¡ª"

    Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s hands shone dazzlingly.

    That was the power of his Wind de.

    Instantly, 100, 200, and, ultimately, 300 of them appeared!

    Next, all the generated energy was assembled into a set of Energy Equipment.

    Bang!

    Now, Chen Feng¡¯s body was even shinier than before.

    Ka!

    Ka!

    His whole body was enveloped by light.

    That green-colored radiance gleamed with an ice-cold chill. Due to the amount of supplied energy this time being higher than the previous time, his current Energy Equipment started assuming a proper shape, resembling armor. There was also a pair of shiny gloves on Chen Feng¡¯s hands.

    "How is this possible?!" The captain¡¯s expression changed greatly. Chen Feng had actually assembled his Energy Equipment instantly. On top of that, this newly assembled Energy Equipment seemed stronger than the previous set?

    This...

    What ability was this guy using?!

    Ah!

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    Once again, a battle broke out. This time around, the Chen Feng who unleashed his power had the captainpletely suppressed.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The captain was pushed back without stop.

    "This can¡¯t go on." The captain quivered. Hisbat power was far above Chen Feng¡¯s, yet he could only battle Chen Feng in such a manner. This was too depressing. Seemed like it was about time he stopped holding back.

    Shua!

    Suddenly, the captain stopped.

    "Do you think that you are the only one with understanding of the power of wind?"

    Hum¡ª

    A gust of shiny storm power appeared.

    Instantly, some changes could be seen on the captain¡¯s body. What he did was different from Chen Feng¡¯s Energy Equipment. Nevertheless, he had still fused the power of storm into his body.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng¡¯s fistnded on him. At that, a faint glow glimmered, yet no damage was dealt to the captain.

    This is...

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils shrunk.

    Bang!

    The captain returned the punch and Chen Feng was smashed away.

    "Storm Shield. A 3-star secret art that is immune to a majority of damage and all sorts of wind-based attacks," the captain said indifferently.

    Wind immunity wasn¡¯t a particrly powerful ability. It was simply an immunity he gained due to his storm-rted abilities being of the wind attribute. However, against Chen Feng¡¯s wind-attributed Energy Equipment, this was the perfect tool. Chen Feng¡¯s attacks would no longer be effective against him.

    "Come at me."

    The captain rubbed his fist, ready for a fight. Without the advantages given by that Energy Equipment, what can you do?

    Is that so?

    Chen Feng erupted with all his power.

    Bang!

    The power of his Energy Equipment was instantly unleashed.

    However, the captain was still unharmed. The energy supplied by 300 Wind des was instantly exhausted, yet they failed to deal any damage to him. The Storm Shield¡¯s power was indeed shockingly formidable.

    The captainughed malevolently. "Die!"

    For him, the current Chen Feng was akin to an infant with no protection.

    He punched at Chen Feng.

    Bang!

    An astonishing undtion appeared in the air. The storm¡¯s power stopped abruptly in front of Chen Feng as a ck-colored Energy Equipment appeared around Chen Feng. It possessed none of the earlier dazzle or the flickering green-colored energy. Only a in and dull looking set of attire could be seen on him. That dim ck-colored Energy Equipment appeared incredibly simr to a windbreaker.

    This was an Energy Equipment with all sorts of attributes fused into it. It was something powered by his Myriad Illusionary Wind de and filled with a myriad of attributes.

    This was an attribute-filled Energy Equipment. As theposition of all the different attributes were incredibly bnced, the formed Energy Equipment did not gain any special abilities. However, the plust point was it being incredibly firm and sturdy.

    The captain¡¯s expression changed slightly. "What on earth is that?"

    Energy Equipment? Wasn¡¯t Chen Feng¡¯s Energy Equipment green?

    Bang!

    Chen Feng made his move. His silhouette charged forth once again. His speed was somewhat lower, but his movements were still quick and violent. The most terrifying aspect of the current him was the fact that his strength and defense were much higher than earlier.

    ??

    What the heck?

    The captain was dumbstruck. This guy had several sets of Energy Equipment?

    How was that possible?

    One had to know that, for every single Energy Equipment, several other gic abilities would be required as support for this ability. The more abilities used, the stronger it would be.

    But this guy here...

    Two sets?

    He should be at D ss, right? If one of his abilities was Energy Equipment, he would only have two other gic abilities left, right? Could it be that all his gic abilities were a different set of Energy Equipment?

    The captain was confused. He had never seen anyone with two sets of Energy Equipment. Furthermore, for this to appear on a person who was at such a low rank...

    However.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The bone-piercing pain dragged him out of his thoughts.

    This was real!

    Chen Feng¡¯s second Energy Equipment was somewhat slower, but all its other aspects were much more powerful. If they were to have a head-on collision, he was simply not a match.

    Hu¡ª

    The captain inhaled deeply. "This ability is something I initially didn¡¯t wish to use." He sighed.

    Mhm?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed.

    Bang!

    A sudden energy explosion in the air.

    Not good!

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed greatly as he immediately got out of the way.

    Bang!

    His original spot was bombarded, leaving behind a huge pit. Chen Feng had managed to dodge in time, but that torrent of energy had still brushed past him.

    He rubbed his cheek. A long scar and a searing pain could be felt there.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    That was the power of thunderstorms!

    "Do you think that wind is the fastest thing around? Do you think that you are the only one specializing in speed? Let me show you the true power of a thunderstorm!" The captain¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. However, his face did not appear as calm as his words seemed to indicate. asionally, an expression of pain would appear on his face.

    This was not a pure lightning power. This was the power of a thunderstorm, part of the power of storm he possessed. It was a result of abination of several types of power that were much more powerful than ordinary thunder. It was also a power that was harder to control.

    Such power was simply something an ordinary person couldn¡¯t control.

    "His expression..."

    Chen Feng contemted.

    This thunderstorm should be something formed through abination of several types of power. Such a power was something that the captain had yet to fully master at this time. As such, he had only managed to carry the attack out after great difficulty. This was also the reason why he had only used it now.

    Lightning flickered in the captain¡¯s eyes. "Die, then."

    Bang!

    A thunderstorm charged forth, heading toward Chen Feng.

    This time, Chen Feng failed to dodge it.

    Bang!

    His ck Energy Equipment collided with the thunderstorm.

    Ka!

    His Energy Equipment fell apart instantly. Chen Feng could clearly see that all the energy on his Energy Equipment had been instantly exhausted the moment the thunderstorm had washed through it.

    This was the power of the thunderstorm. Capable of destroying his Energy Equipment instantly.

    The next instant, the terrifying thunderstorm arrived. However, right at this instant, a gust of familiar power emerged from Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    Bang!

    Lightning started coiling around.

    The captain widened his eyes.

 Chapter 216: The Crazy Reinforcements!

    Chapter 216: The Crazy Reinforcements!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    What was that?!

    The captain was stupefied. He was very clear on the power of his thunderstorm. That was thetest secret art he¡¯d learned, and it possessed a terrifying might. The only downside to it was that he had yet to fully master it.

    But this guy here...

    The captain shivered.

    Bang!

    The thunderstorm reached Chen Feng. A familiar power radiated from the Chen Feng that he had expected to die, and it blocked the iing thunderstorm.

    That was also the power of thunderstorm!

    That¡¯s right.

    On Chen Feng¡¯s body, a brand new Energy Equipment appeared. With a faint red glow, thisyer of Energy Equipment appeared thinner than the previous two. However, the power it contained was scarier.

    Faster speed and stronger might.

    This was an Energy Equipment with a higher speed and attack. It¡¯s w being its almost nonexistent defense.

    However, against the thunderstorm attack of the captain that was nearly of the same attribute, thisyer of Energy Equipment easily absorbed all the thunderstorm power to be stronger.

    Shua!

    Within the pitch-ck factory, only a sh of red could be seen. That was the afterimage of Chen Feng. At this very moment, the world seemed to freeze, with the red sh being the only moving thing.

    Pu!

    A crisp sound.

    The captain widened his eyes, unbelieving.

    On his chest was a bloody hole.

    "You..."

    Dissatisfaction stered all over the captain¡¯s face.

    "Many thanks."

    Chen Feng smiled.

    So the power of storm can be harnessed to create a thunderstorm, eh? Only the powers of wind, rain, and lightning are required?

    The thunderstorm that had been created with great difficulty by the captain had been easily imitated by Chen Feng using his Myriad Illusionary Wind de to create various attributes before molding it with his Luck Aura.

    Next... this brand new Energy Equipment had been created.

    More power!

    More violence!

    Wind de, Myriad Illusions, Energy Equipment...

    Three different abilities that were not supposed to work together had, under Chen Feng¡¯s Luck Aura, started unleashing an inconceivable power, a seemingly omnipotentbination.

    Thump!

    The captain¡¯s body slumped down powerlessly.

    Such a magnificent C-ss gic warrior had fallen here just like that.

    "It¡¯s over," Chen Feng muttered.

    This was the first C-ss warrior he had killed. Hence, it had an extraordinary meaning attached to it.

    Chen Feng exhaled in relief. "Time to return."

    He had achieved all he¡¯d set out to aplish in this trip: surpassing his limit and fusing with a new ability. Now he had smoothly entered D-ss. Moreover, his strength had increased greatly with the multitude of powerful Energy Equipment avable to him. His trip to the abandoned factory had concluded wlessly.

    However, just as he was about to leave.

    Hum¡ª

    A bizarre vibration could be felt in the air.

    "This is..."

    Chen Feng had an ominous feeling.

    Abat aircraft!

    This was the sound of abat aircraft! To rush here, they had actually employed abat aircraft?

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Slowly, thebat aircraftnded outside the abandoned factory.

    "It¡¯s thebat aircraft! Our reinforcements are here."

    The security members and the researchers started appearing.

    Bang!

    The door of thebat aircraft opened.

    Rows of fully equipped gic warriors appeared speedily and surrounded the factory. The leader was Lei Ming, a stern-looking guy.

    "Where¡¯s the thing?" Lei Ming asked coldly.

    "Here."

    Excited, the researchers took their research results out.

    These...

    Lei Ming took a single nce at them before throwing them away. "I want that thing."

    "Ah?" They nked before carefully taking out the firewood. "This?"

    Indeed...

    Lei Ming¡¯s eyes shone. He took the half-burnt firewood offered to him. Within the part of the firewood that appeared like a branch, a power he was familiar with could be felt. That was the power of Spirit Sea wood!

    "It¡¯s true!"

    Lei Ming¡¯s heart trembled madly.

    It appeared! It has truly appeared! Even if it¡¯s only a small part!

    Looking at the half-burnt Spirit Sea wood, he nearly erupted in anger and killed all these people here. Luckily, he had suppressed his rage.

    "Let¡¯s go," he said coldly.

    "Our captain is still in the factory," several security members shouted.

    "Is that so?" Lei Ming said coldly. "Scan!"

    Bang!

    A dazzling radiance appeared.

    A huge probe on the aircraft aimed toward the factory.

    Bang!

    A silent ripple started scanning the factory. All the life forms there were now clearly shown. Within the factory, a silhouette appeared.

    That was the only survivor in the factory.

    "Is that your captain?" Lei Ming asked indifferently.

    "No..."

    The security members were ashen faced.

    None of them had expected that their captain and the group that had entered with him had all been killed. Only an unfamiliar silhouette was left in the factory.

    "How regretful," Lei Ming said indifferently.

    They had set off immediately after receiving the news. Unexpectedly, these trash here couldn¡¯t evenst long enough for them to arrive. Truly worthless. If it wasn¡¯t for the Spirit Sea wood...

    Hehe.

    "Bring them up," Lei Ming said calmly.

    "Alright."

    The researchers were all escorted up the aircraft.

    Within the abandoned factory, amidst the dusk, that bright red silhouette appeared incredibly conspicuous.

    Lei Ming sneered. "Interesting."

    That silhouette appeared quite young.

    "Is it a celebrity warrior? It doesn¡¯t matter." Lei Ming shook his head. Normally, he wouldn¡¯t mind ying around with this guy. Now, though, the Spirit Sea wood was his utmost priority.

    "Deal with him. Prepare to depart," Lei Ming said coldly.

    "Understood," an ice-cold mechanical voice replied.

    Hum¡ª

    The aircraft prepared to take off.

    "Leaving?"

    Chen Feng exhaled in relief.

    The enemy¡¯s strength had far exceeded his expectations. With those incredibly powerful gic warriors and thatbat aircraft, if they were to fight, it wouldn¡¯t end well for him.

    Fortunately, the enemy¡¯s priority was to protect the researchers, as they had evidently prepared to take off immediately after getting the researchers on board.

    It¡¯s about time for me to leave.

    Chen Feng started retreating silently.

    However, suddenly, he felt an intense sense of crisis.

    It felt bone-piercingly cold.

    "What¡¯s up?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed.

    Ambush?

    He nced around, yet no enemy could be seen.

    Moreover, that strongest-looking young man was on his way back to the aircraft as well. Who would be the one acting against him?

    This sense of crisis...

    Chen Feng concentrated and immediately, his expression changed greatly.

    The huge aircraft in the distance opened up, akin to a demon that had opened its mouth. Within, a cannon surrounded by a terrifying-looking radiance appeared and aimed straight at the factory.

    That was...

    Ion cannon!

    An incredibly destructive weapon!

    Theoretically, if an unlimited supply of energy was provided, it was capable of destroying even a whole city.

    "Shit!"

    Chen Feng was ashen faced.

    Bang!

    At this instant, an intense radiance appeared. The whole world was nketed by a scorching white.

    Bang!

    With a st, a huge shockwave appeared and soared up the skies from the factory.

    At this instant, everyone was stunned. Even the researchers and security members were stunned as well. They had never expected that this young man would use such a method to deal with his enemy.

    This was an aircraft! That was an ion cannon! A weapon that would normally only be used during wartime!

    "He¡¯s crazy," they muttered.

    They were sure that this young man was definitely a madman.

    Bang!

    The huge mushroom cloud soared.

    The dazzling white radiance pierced into everyone¡¯s eyes.

    After a long time, the world recovered.

    The abandoned factory was reduced to ruins. Moreover, a 10-meter-deep pit was created there, akin to a naturally formed basin.

    The abandoned factory no longer existed.

    "Mhm... scan it," Lei Ming said indifferently.

    Hum¡ª

    The ripple scanned past the area. No survivors were found.

    "Missionpleted. Let¡¯s return."

    A smile appeared on Lei Ming¡¯s face. Everyone else trembled as they all got into the aircraft. None of them dared to disobey him. This was simply a lunatic.

    However, just as they were about to leave, a clump of inconspicuous ze started shining in the pit. At that, their scanner started beeping in rm.

    Mhm?

    Everyone was stunned.

    Shua!

    Instinctively, they took a look. At that, their expressions changed abruptly. Under the scanner, a familiar silhouette had appeared within that deep pit. That was the same enemy they had detected earlier! He was still alive!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Step by step, Chen Feng walked out with no expression on his face.

    He was not a god. He was simply a normal human, regardless of how strong he got and how powerful his Luck Aura was. Hence, at that instant when the shot from the ion cannon was about to reach him, Chen Feng knew that he would definitely die. An attack at such level was not something he could deal with.

    He would most certainly die.

    The only thing he could do was make sure his death was instant. Only with that would Peril Rebirth work. Only with that would he be able to undergo rebirth after his death.

    Fortunately, the ion cannon¡¯s attack was something that happened in a single instant. He seeded. At the moment of death, at the perilous ground, he underwent his rebirth.

    He came back!

    "How is that possible?"

    The researchers on the aircraft couldn¡¯t believe their eyes.

    Alive? How was that possible? That was an ion cannon! Granted, due to the limited energy supply, it was not able to disy its might to the utmost. However, even the whole factory was reduced to ruins. How was it possible for Chen Feng to survive?

    Shua!

    Everyone concentrated their gazes on the spot of the explosion.

    There, within the deep pit, thanks to the scanner, a red-colored silhouette could be clearly seen, walking out of the pit one step at a time.

    Finally, the silhouette solidified. He came out! Everyone¡¯s hearts trembled. Even on the calm expression of Lei Ming, a tinge of emotion could be seen.

    "It¡¯s you!"

    He recognized Chen Feng with a single nce.

    Not too long ago, Chen Feng had been shining too brightly. Hence, when he was in the midst of his mission previously, he had once identally seen Chen Feng¡¯s picture...

    That¡¯s right, it was him!

    However, after recognizing Chen Feng, his confusion grew.

    Chen Feng? That producer?

    So the one who had gotten rid of the captain and evaded the ion cannon¡¯s attack was such a young producer?

    However...

    Now, Lei Ming became excited.

    The name Chen Feng...

    Shua!

    Softly, he tapped at the screen. Next, a mission appeared. Those who managed to kill Chen Feng would be rewarded by the organization. Mhm. Although the reward wasn¡¯t much and was not worth everyone¡¯s time, if this Chen Feng were to deliver himself to their hands...

    "Hehe."

    A smile appeared on Lei Ming¡¯s face, and he looked at Chen Feng indifferently. "I am Lei Ming. Remember my name. I will be the person who kills you."

    Lei Ming...

    Chen Feng looked at the aircraft. Is this the basis of your confidence? Ion cannon?

    Shua!

    Luck Aura, activate.

    Presently, he only had 32 points of luck value remaining. A pathetic amount. Thirty-two points... Would it be enough to cause a malfunction on the aircraft?

    Shua!

    He tried to activate his Luck Aura. However, the luck value remained the same. This meant that there was simply zero probability of his Luck Aura seeding in causing a malfunction at this time. At least, 32 points of luck value were far from enough to achieve that.

    "I¡¯m back."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. Indeed, he had been thinking too much. Apart from this old factory, which used the old-fashioned electric supply, how was it so easy for him to cause a malfunction on the new energy technologies of this new age?

    However...

    Something did not seem right.

    Chen Feng had a solemn mood.

    He recalled that using his Luck Aura to affect reality would exhaust a lot of luck values. Even causing a slot machine to malfunction back then had required quite a number of luck values.

    He could normally utilize it to affect things pertaining to probability and to obtain information he required. However... only 10 points of luck value had been required to cause the timber roon¡¯s mutation?

    Was it due to the mutation of the timber roon and turkey being too easy to aplish? That shouldn¡¯t have been the case. When he¡¯d used 10 points of luck values for the second time earlier, multiple turkeys had mutated instead of a single turkey.

    This could be considered affecting reality as well. Why had it been aplished so easily? Yet causing an aircraft malfunction was so hard? Something was definitely wrong somewhere.

    Perhaps...

    Something else was affecting the Luck Aura?

    Chen Feng¡¯s thoughts moved rapidly.

    Suddenly, he noticed the firewood in Lei Ming¡¯s hands. That shabby-looking and pitch-ck firewood was the very item that the researchers had put their lives on the line to obtain earlier.

    Was it due to that thing?

    Chen Feng was in a solemn mood.

    Hum¡ª

    His eyes sharpened as he started scanning with his spiritual energy.

    At that instant, an extremely unusual power could be sensed.

    This thing...

    Chen Feng was startled.

    Lei Ming smiled coldly. "This is not an item you can touch."

    "Bang!"

    Instantly, lightning started condensing in the skies, brightening the ruins beneath it. The terrifying power of Lei Ming rmed everyone there.

    This was a power at the peak of C ss! Abat power reaching 100,000 units!

    Bang!

    Lei Ming¡¯s body started changing beforepletely morphing into lightning.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone inhaled mouthfuls of cold air.

    That was a 4-star secret art: Lightning Incarnation!

    This was an extremely powerful C-ss secret art with off the chartsbat power. The user of this secret art would be able to even challenge those of the higher ss. Although Chen Feng was capable of challenging the security members that were in a higher ss than him, Lei Ming was not an ordinary person.

    Chen Feng was not the only one capable of challenging those of a higher ss!

    "Bang!"

    The lightning appeared dazzling.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Lei Ming¡¯s body moved like a sh.

    So fast!

    The moment he¡¯d first seen Lei Ming, he¡¯d been aware that this would be a bitter battle. A bitter battle he had no choice but to face. He could not leave, as he was clear that the moment he pulled a distance from them, he would be the target of the ion cannon. At that time, he would truly reach a dead end.

    Hu¡ª

    He inhaled deeply.

    This time, he truly no longer had anything he could count on. With only 32 points of luck value remaining, he had to use them rationally.

    Shua!

    The terrifying lightning descended.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were sharp. He knew that he wouldn¡¯t be able to face it directly. The only thing he could do was use his Myriad Illusionary Wind de to form an Energy Equipment with the same attribute as Lei Ming.

    Shua!

    One point of luck value exhausted, unlimited Myriad Illusionary Wind des were unleashed.

    Shua!

    One point of luck value exhausted, the attribute of Myriad Illusionary Wind des was set as lightning.

    Bang!

    Lightning Energy Equipment, assembled.

    Lightning coiled around Chen Feng¡¯s body, giving him a simr power to Lei Ming¡¯s Lightning Incarnation.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The lightning smashed toward Chen Feng. However, due to the same attribute they possessed, neither was able to hurt the other. Lei Ming¡¯s strongest power had now been weakened greatly against Chen Feng in such a manner.

    Currently, only 30 points of luck value remained.

    Lei Ming was astonished. "Energy Equipment?"

    He was able to recognize Chen Feng¡¯s gic ability. Surprisingly, an Energy Equipment assembled with lightning existed, and he was lucky enough to encounter it here.

    Was it a coincidence?

    Lei Ming sneered. Do you think that you will be immune to all damage simply because of the same attribute? Naive!

    "Did you know?" Suddenly, Lei Mingughed as he said, "There exists a power capable of piercing through the void, a power that ignores all defenses, attributes, and probability to reach the body of the target immediately! I have named it the Void Hacker!"

    At this, Chen Feng¡¯s pupil shrank abruptly.

    "However, this skill is too powerful. Hence, it is too hard to control. It is rare for even those in B ss to master. Hence, the sess rate when I try using it is a pathetic 1%. However..." A smile appeared on Lei Ming¡¯s mouth. "Take a guess, do you think this skill will work on you?"

    Shua!

    A frightening power started condensing within his hands.

    At this instant, countless powers of lightning started condensing, turning into a single dot.

    That single dazzling dot contained boundless power within.

    Go!

    Lei Ming pointed.

    That dazzling dot flowed along that shabby looking firewood and shot forth before it vanished into the void.

    Void Hacker! Naturally, this skill would require the splitting of space.

    Currently, that dazzling dot split space and entered the void. If it truly worked as Lei Ming had described, the next time it appeared, it would kill Chen Feng.

    At the thought of this, instinctively, everyone shifted their gaze to Chen Feng.

    This is...

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed violently. That was because, at that instant, he could feel something locking onto him. Even with his Luck Aura fully activated, he was still locked onto by the Void Hacker.

    Hum¡ª

    A bone-piercing coldness emerged.

    Chen Feng was sure that he would be killed in the next instant.

    ??

    He was somewhat dumbfounded.

    Even with a sess rate of 1%, this ability had been activated immediately?

    Moreover, with the Luck Aura¡¯s activation, the probability of 1% should have failed to trigger instead. How had it...

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart thumped.

    He looked at his personal information. His 30 points of luck value remained. The Luck Aura had failed to work! What was going on?

    Chen Feng felt like he was enveloped by boundless coldness.

    Currently, he was a single step away from death.

    Void Hacker...

    Had his Luck Aura failed since this ability could lock onto the target? Or perhaps Lei Ming had already reached a 100% sess rate for this ability and had merely been spouting nonsense?

    Forget it.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    Luck Aura, activate!

    Since this ability had already been unleashed, he would forget about stopping it. Instead, he would focus on making this ability fail its task. For example... for the attack to be skewed and miss its target?

    Shua!

    From the void, the dazzling dot emerged and brushed past Chen Feng¡¯s arm, leaving behind a long gash. Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s luck values dropped rapidly¡ªonly one point remained.

    A total 29 points of luck value to skew the trajectory of this Void Hacker. That was the only thing it had aplished.

    Affecting reality had an exhaustion rate far surpassing his imagination.

    Things are going to get troublesome now.

    Chen Feng clenched his fists. He had used all his trump cards. His luck values were basically nonexistant now as well. He had truly reached an impasse. If he had known earlier that this trip would have posed such trouble, he would have definitely saved up a higher amount of luck value beforeing.

    However...

    Surprisingly, Lei Ming¡¯s expression looked uglier than Chen Feng¡¯s.

    Lei Ming was shocked. "It missed?"

    Even if he only had a sess rate of 1%, as long as it was sessfully unleashed, it should never fail. Moreover, it was released with the help of the Spirit Sea wood...

    Lei Ming looked at the firewood in his hand. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he had confirmed the existence of the power within this wood, he would have started doubting that this was genuine Spirit Sea wood he was holding.

    How was it possible for the Spirit Sea wood to fail?

    Lei Ming could not understand this.

    Currently, Chen Feng had finally discovered something as well.

    He had noticed that a majority of Lei Ming¡¯s attention was on that firewood. As he recalled his earlier guesses, Chen Feng was sure that the wood Lei Ming was holding was definitely something unusual.

    Perhaps...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    So what if he only had one point of luck value?

    He could still put it on the line!

    Gulp.

    He gulped down the aurora gene reagent.

    Bang!

    Light started swirling within his body. At this instant, Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual affinity was pushed to the limit. All the spiritual energy drifting in the air became unprecedentedly distinct. In Lei Ming¡¯s hands... a bizarre aura could be felt from that firewood.

 Chapter 218: Luck Aura Upgrade

    Chapter 218: Luck Aura Upgrade

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    It¡¯s that thing!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed.

    Rush!

    Instantly, Chen Feng vanished. The thunder Energy Equipment he¡¯d assembled earlier, had at this instant, erupted in power, greatly increasing Chen Feng¡¯s speed. The thunder energy was already fast before. Now, with Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual affinity pushed to the limit, one could hardly see his silhouette.

    "Scram!"

    Lei Min pointed at the air, aiming toward Chen Feng.

    Bang!

    A lightning attack was shot onto Chen Feng¡¯s chest as the terrifying power from that attack was sted into Chen Feng¡¯s body. Even if they were both using energy of the same attribute, when the attack unleashed by the incredibly powerful C-ss Lei Ming smashed into Chen Feng¡¯s defenseless chest, he still suffered grave injuries from the impact alone.

    Pu!

    He started spurting blood.

    However, even with this, Chen Feng did not choose to dodge.

    That was because...

    Shua!

    Surprisingly, Chen Feng grabbed at the firewood the instance he got near enough.

    Hum¡ª

    A familiar power entered his body.

    This is...

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    At this instant, he felt like he had returned to the period before his transmigration, returning to that library, returning to that bizarre instant and feeling that identical power within.

    This is...

    The power of luck!

    Shua!

    It was at this instant that Chen Feng understood everything. He understood what the power contained within this firewood was. He understood what the cause for the weird things that had happened for the past two days was.

    Spirit Sea wood!

    Once upon a time there existed an ocean with a mystical power. The power contained in this ocean was able to bless the masses with good luck. This ocean was named the Spirit Sea. However, on one fateful day, a certain tree in the Spirit Sea mutated and started absorbing all the water in the entire sea, the power of the sea included. This was how the tree known as the Spirit Sea Divine Tree came into being.

    The Spirit Sea wood was simply a branch of this tree. In truth, Chen Feng had not yed too big a role in the mutations of the timber roons and turkeys previously. The only thing Chen Feng¡¯s luck value had done was provide some sort of direction.

    What had yed a major role in those mutations was this very Spirit Sea wood.

    No wonder...

    Chen Feng was in a solemn mood.

    So that was why reality had been so easily affected. So that was also the reason for Lei Ming¡¯s sess in unleashing the skill despite the 1% sess rate.

    So... everything was because of this wood.

    Bang!

    The echo of a familiar power could be felt. The very instant Chen Feng touched this wood, he could feel that the Luck Aura within him started stirring as an intense feeling of desire was transmitted to him.

    !!!

    Chen Feng widened his eyes. Luck Aura was demanding to devour the Spirit Sea wood¡¯s power?!

    That¡¯s right! Luck Aura was disying the desire of hunger, akin to a person whose eyes hadid on food.

    If so... then go!

    Chen Feng was overwhelmed by emotions.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Multiple torrents of familiar power started gushing toward Chen Feng¡¯s Luck Aura.

    Bang!

    At this instant, the whole world seemed to shatter.

    Before Chen Feng¡¯s eyes, countless scenes flipped past. Luck Aura¡¯s power started radiating furiously. At this instant, the amount of luck value at Chen Feng¡¯s disposal was seemingly endless.

    At this instant, he was akin to a god!

    One could only guess the amount of luck power contained within the Spirit Sea wood. The tree was something that had absorbed the luck power of a whole sea. Even if it was merely a branch or a small part of that tree, it was sufficiently powerful to defy the natural order.

    Bang!

    Countless light swirled before Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    Chen Feng was aware that all this was due to the overflowing of luck value. He was too weak! His Luck Aura was incapable of absorbing too much power. As such, the remaining power of the Spirit Sea wood was overflowing. If he couldn¡¯t absorb this power...

    It would all be wasted.

    Hu¡ª

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    Waste?

    That wouldn¡¯t do.

    If so...

    Bloom, luck value!

    Chen Feng howled.

    These luck values were too terrifying. He was simply incapable of controlling them. The luck values were now akin to a raging river of luck. He could only try his best to direct the flow of the river to work in a way that would be advantageous to him.

    As for what was going to result from that?

    He had no idea as well.

    However, Chen Feng was confident that Luck Aura would be able to work it out with its own methods.

    Bang!

    Boundless light swirled before his eyes as a gush of a bizarre power descended upon Chen Feng¡¯s brain. A bizarre scene appeared.

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    Chen Feng saw Wang Yao.

    The little girl had the same cold and detached expression on her face. Her red skirt was burning while the delicate yet serious expression on her face captivated Chen Feng.

    However, currently, Wang Yao had quite a sorry appearance. She had sustained injuries. Two bloody scars could be seen on her.

    What happened to her?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart tightened.

    Something happened to Wang Yao?! Where?

    Instinctively, these thoughts flitted through his mind. However, the next instant, he saw himself.

    ??

    Myself ?

    Chen Feng was dumbstruck. Wasn¡¯t he right here?

    Xiu!

    Currently, in the scene Chen Feng was looking at, a terrifying power was shooting toward him in the scene.

    With a huge ming sword in her hand, Wang Yao stood in front of Chen Feng with a cold expression on her face. Blocking all attacks for him, her silhouette unmoving.

    Bang!

    A dazzling explosion.

    Blood started dripping down Wang Yao¡¯s mouth.

    "What on earth is this?"

    Chen Feng was confused.

    His gazended on the ¡®him¡¯ shown in the scene. Only at that did he discover that this ¡®him¡¯ had reached B ss, which was much higher than his current level.

    Around them...

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    The area he could see started widening.

    This...

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils shrunk.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    A descent of a terrifying darkness.

    Streaks of light shed past before smashing into the ground. This scene was simply akin to an apocalypse.

    This is...

    Star City! The holynd of producers!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The whole of Star City was in chaos.

    Pu!

    Hou Liang was killed by one of the falling streaks of light.

    That youngdy called Ha Li... and a lot of other producers that Chen Feng did not know were killed. Moreover, even Qin Hai and Yun Xiaoduo could be seen!

    "What¡¯s going on? What on earth is this?"

    Just as Chen Feng was confused.

    Suddenly, a beam of light pierced the sky and descended. The whole of Star City was pierced through by that gigantic beam of light.

    Bang!

    With a violent tremble, the whole city exploded. The immensely loud sound and the dazzling radiance shocked the whole.

    Everyone in Star City was killed.

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    With a shiver, Chen Feng reawakened.

    Now, his excess luck value had been fully exhausted. His surroundings recovered to normal.

    "Scram!"

    Lei Ming¡¯s scream could be heard.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng was smashed away with a punch.

    Blood sttered around.

    He was seriously injured.

    "Pu!"

    Chen Feng spat out a mouthful of blood as his gazended on the Spirit Sea wood in Lei Ming¡¯s hand. He could sense that all the power within that wood had beenpletely absorbed by him.

    That item was now useless.

    "Damn it!"

    Lei Ming was exasperated.

    No reward couldpare with the Spirit Sea wood in his hand.

    Damn it! His n had almost been foiled by Chen Feng.

    This crafty kid here was not particrly powerful. However, due to them having power of same attribute, it was quite hard for him to defeat this kid. Moreover, that sudden, instantaneous increase in Chen Feng¡¯s speed earlier...

    And his opponent¡¯s gaze that was concentrated on the Spirit Sea wood.

    I can¡¯t continue this fight!

    Lei Ming was sure that if Chen Feng was to even cause a little damage to the Spirit Sea wood, his heart would ache to no end. Moreover, if he were to kill Chen Feng, it was very probable that those old men of the association would suddenly appear here out of nowhere.

    "Go!" Lei Ming ordered decisively.

    Shua!

    The whole group entered the hastily aircraft and speedily left.

    Bang!

    The aircraft streaked away and disappeared in a sh.

    Within the darkness, only Chen Feng remained.

    Is it over?

    He stared ahead at the ck dot that was gradually disappearing.

    That¡¯s right. It was over.

    With Lei Ming¡¯s departure due to his numerous worries, this battle had truly ended.

    However, Chen Feng did not have time to rejoice in his survival, because the scene he had witnessed earlier when the luck values had been raging was still vivid in his mind.

    The contents he had witnessed...

    The "him" he¡¯d seen...

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Rapidly, Chen Feng started looking back and reorganizing the information he¡¯d obtained.

    Finally, he discovered a certain point he had neglected earlier.

    ----

    Location: Star City

    Time: One yearter

    Protagonists: He saw Qin Hai, Wang Yao, and all the other producers.

    What happened: Due to a certain incident, a cmity befell Star City. In the final battle, the whole floating city was destroyed.

    ----

    "One yearter..."

    Chen Feng shut his eyes. The present Star City was still in its normal state. What on earth would happen in one year¡¯s time?

    He had no idea.

    Qin Hai...

    Wang Yao...

    Would this be rted to them?

    He had too many questions!

    Perhaps...

    Was it an illusion caused by the Spirit Sea wood?

    Impossible.

    This was the first time Chen Feng had gotten in touch with the power of the Spirit Sea wood. This was also the first time Chen Feng had encountered something capable of affecting luck in this world.

    The first luck-affecting item he had encountered was the luck stone, and the second luck item he had discovered was the luck tree!

    The luck of two different worlds had now collided.

    He had initially believed that both of them would have a harmonious encounter. Unexpectedly, the luck stone had, in a tyrannical manner, absorbed all the energy contained within the Spirit Sea wood. Even if the luck values were so much that it started overflowing, not a single bit of power was left behind for that wood.

    Harmony?

    It was nonexistent.

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "Can this be considered apetition between those in the same profession?"

    Regardless of whether both of these werepeting, their encounter had given Chen Feng a pleasant surprise. Even if he were to disregard those overflowed luck values, the amount of luck value the Luck Aura had been able to absorb was sufficient to bring great changes to it.

    Chen Feng checked his data.

    His initially fully exhausted luck value was now at 100 points. Naturally, this was the surplus luck value that remained after the rest had been consumed to upgrade his Luck Aura.

    The biggest change brought by the Spirit Sea wood was transforming his Luck Aura from a power that was vague and iprehensible into a power that was truly able to be controlled!

    For example...

    Chen Feng transmitted his thought clearly: I want Hou Liang¡¯s position.

    --

    Feedback: Luck Aura ¨C Lockdown is executable, one point of luck value consumed.

    --

    That¡¯s right. Now, regardless of what he chose to do, he did not have to fully activate his Luck Aura without the slightest clue as to how much luck value it would consume. He now received solid feedback.

    What he intended to do and how much luck value would be consumed would be clearly transmitted back to him.

    Moreover, Luck Aura was now capable of making the most optimal choice to achieve what he wanted.

    "One point?"

    Chen Feng nked.

    He remembered that, previously, to get the three coordinates, three points of luck value were required.

    "Let¡¯s give it a try, then."

    Chen Feng tried extracting Hou Liang¡¯s coordinate. Next, a single row of coordinates indicated with x, y, and z that were separated with zeroes appeared. At this, Chen Feng¡¯s expression darkened. So, why had he wasted his luck values previously by having three coordinates that were seperately listed?

    This was the upgraded Luck Aura. It would provide the optimal solution based on what was requested.

    "Spirit Sea wood..."

    Chen Feng was filled with anticipation.

    A single Spirit Sea wood had brought such change to his Luck Aura. What if he were to get more Spirit Sea wood? Or if he got the whole tree for himself?

    At that time, he might directly transform into a god of luck.

    Naturally, this was simply something he thought about. Even if he stopped considering whether he could truly be a god of luck in the future, one year from now, a cmity would befall.

    That terrifying scene he¡¯d seen!

    One year...

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. He did not have much time left. The scene he¡¯d seen earlier was too shocking. Moreover... the scene where the entire Star City was instantly destroyed...

    That was a city! Luck values were a mystical existence. The scenes it disyed in such a manner might not be the real future. However, it was definitely probable that such a future existed.

    The future was something that one would not be able topletely grasp.

    For example¡ª

    Casually, Chen Feng tossed out a single coin. The coin mightnd on either side, but it might alsond on its edge, vanish midair, or be grabbed by someone during it¡¯s descent.

    Regardless of how low the probability for each of those urrences was, it was still probable for any of them to ur.

    If even something as simple as tossing a coin contained countless futures, what about a human¡¯s life?

    "This incident, I must not allow it to happen," Chen Feng vowed firmly. Regardless of how high the probability for that incident to happen was, he would turn the probability of its urrence into zero!

    One year...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were sharp.

    Shua!

    He stood up and returned to Star City.

    At Star City, he contacted Hou Liang.

    The things he¡¯d seen were simply too important. Star City had to be informed of these. As such, in the meeting room, Chen Feng earnestly stood before numerous powerhouses such as president and vice president and others with terrifying status and dered that a certain mysterious organization was nning to destroy Star City in one year. They had aplete n and were in the process of implementation. He had witnessed with his own eyes a simtion of this project where the entire Star City would be destroyed.

    This caused an uproar among the upper levels of Star City.

    Chen Feng¡¯s identity as the Gene Rookie Competition champion was still useful. This was especially true since he had recentlypleted several tasks; Chen Feng¡¯s words contain a certain weight.

    As a result, Star City entered an rmed state. With this, Chen Feng was somewhat relieved.

    However, at this moment, an astonishing incident happened.

    A drawing sketched by a youngdy had suddenly flooded the inte, shocking the whole world. Instantly, it firmly upied the top search term in the search engines.

    "Why has a drawing drawn by a youngdy ssified as information under producers?"

    Chen Feng felt doubtful.

    Shua!

    He tapped on it to take a look, and immediately, his expression changed greatly.

    That was Qin Hai!

    Trantor¡¯s Thoughts

    Limostn Limostn

    Dear all, as some of you might notice, the regr release for today had been put behind an ad. All this was automated so I guess something must have went wrong somewhere. The proper regr chapters will being up soon. Thanks.

 Chapter 219: Forbidden Area!

    Chapter 219: Forbidden Area!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng tapped on the drawing on the screen. It was a seemingly ordinary portrait. No superfluous coloring was applied to it. It was a simple sketch yet it was sufficient to clearly disy an astonishing scene.

    The disyed scene took ce on the summit of a certain snowy mountain.

    A lonesome silhouette sat cross-legged there. His aura were getting increasingly feeble while the snowkes drifted down, covering his body in the process, giving him an extremely deste appearance.

    On the ground, a terrifying ck aura swirled around.

    In the sky, countless lightning descended.

    Every single lightning and ck aura were bombarding that silhouette. This ce was akin to a purgatory.

    That is...

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed.

    Qin Hai!

    The one at the depths of purgatory was actually Qin Hai!

    Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s gazended on Qin Hai¡¯s legs.

    An item that he was extremely familiar with could be seen on Qin Hai¡¯s legs: Spirit Sea wood! Qin Hai grabbed it in his hands firmly as he allowed the endless lightning to descend on him.

    What¡¯s going on?

    Chen Feng was shaken.

    Qin Hai?

    Spirit Sea wood?

    How did these two link together? There was no reason for this to happen even if this was merely happening in a drawing. The owner of this drawing, this bizarre drawing, how had she drawn this thing?

    After checking the status of this youngdy, Chen Feng was shocked.

    Xiao Yue, 18 years old.

    She was a person with weak physique and nearly zerobat power. However, she was called a genius girl, the type that would only appear once every hundred years. That was because she had sessfully fused with a set of mystical genes.

    A set of gic ability that seemed impossible to exist: Reality.

    She did not have anybat power. However, she was able to find anyone, able to draw out that person¡¯s location and the things that person had experienced.

    Furthermore, it was deducted that, if this set of gic abilities were further improved, she could easily draw out the whole life of anyone, from the past till the future.

    One¡¯s whole life might be a mere single sketch by this youngdy. This was the most terrifying aspect about her.

    Due to this, Xiao Yue now possessed an enormous reputation. As she had always been helping people locate their missing rtives online, she had received the praise of the public.

    Recently, she had drawn a painting of Qin Hai. Based on the description, one of the fans of Qin Hai had paid Xiao Yue a huge amount of money to draw it. Hence, Xiao Yue started drawing, resulting in this astonishing scene.

    "It¡¯s actually true!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled.

    He had originally believed that this was simply some fan art. Honestly, nowadays, with the poprity of those celebrities, it was very normal for all sorts of fan art to emerge. Moreover, there was some fan art that was quite messed up out there...

    But this particr drawing was actually real?

    Qin Hai! Spirit Sea wood! Both were real!

    "Wait."

    Chen Feng recollected his thoughts.

    In other words, now, at a certain corner of this, Qin Hai was experiencing this?

    "How did this happen?"

    Chen Feng was shaken. Suddenly, he recalled that confident voice back then, that proud silhouette that had proimed that, despite the exhaustion of his potential, he would still be able to create a brand new world for himself!

    Qin Hai, what happened to you?

    There was also that Spirit Sea wood. That thing was too terrifying. He had firsthand experience of it.

    An idiot like Lei Ming could only unconsciously cause the Spirit Sea wood to self-operate, while Chen Feng was able to control the luck value and the direction his Luck Aura worked in, despite the miniscule amount of control he could exert.

    "This drawing..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. He was clear on the uproar this drawing would cause. Both Qin Hai¡¯s poprity and the rarity of the Spirit Sea wood depicted in the drawing would cause an uproar.

    Perhaps he could look for Qin Hai.

    Chen Feng was tempted to do that. In a year, a cmity would befall Star City. He had to increase his strength as soon as possible. Traditional methods were simply impossible to aplish that. They could not grant him too great an improvement. Even with Luck Aura¡¯s assistance, Chen Feng could only see himself reaching B ss.

    If he wanted to be stronger, it would only be possible if he increased the strength of his Luck Aura. This was the strongest trump card for him in this world. The improvement in Luck Aura would bring Chen Feng an all-around improvement. If he were able to find Qin Hai and that Spirit Sea wood to once again upgrade his Luck Aura...

    He might be able to reach A ss in a single year!

    Spirit Sea wood! He had to obtain it!

    Besides...

    He did not wish for Qin Hai to die just like that.

    At this thought, Chen Feng looked at the background in the Qin Hai drawing. Those simple-looking sketches, at this moment, were seemingly livelier than before.

    "Qin Hai, where are you?"

    Currently, the whole onlinemunity was shaken.

    Apart from the scene depicted in the drawing, the fact that Qin Hai had obtained arge amount of new fans after thepetition had also contributed to the uproar caused by this drawing.

    "Ah ah ah ah, what is that ce?"

    "What is Qin Hai doing?"

    "Wu wu wu, it hurts my heart to see this."

    A lot of fans started crying for help online on behalf of Qin Hai.

    With the assistance of the huge amount of fans he had, Qin Hai¡¯s location was finally determined.

    However...

    That location...

    "God!"

    "Why is Qin Hai at such a ce???"

    "Has he gone insane?!"

    Everyone was dumbstruck.

    This was because, currently, Qin Hai was located beyond the areas that were already explored and marked as safe by the Gic Union. He was currently at an unknown region none had dared to explore before.

    That was an area known as the forbidden area!

    This was too huge. Only 18% of the was developed. A lot of ces were enveloped by bizarre and mysterious powers and remained uncovered due to current humanity¡¯s level of technology. Hence, these areas were allbeled "unknown area."

    Those were ces where all technology would stop working.

    Humanity had never been the true master of this world. Instead, it was those unknown existences within the regions that even their satellites were unable to monitor.

    Those regions were filled with mysteriousness and unknown powers.

    Even the mysterious organization they¡¯d discovered earlier had arge majority of their projects rted to these unknown areas.

    Those were areas human did not dare to set foot in. ces known as forbidden areas.

    Normally, only A-ss experts dared to set foot into these areas. However, even for A-ss experts, those ces were still incredibly dangerous. A lot of them never returned from the explorations, only leaving behind the asionalst words, which was also how those legendse about.

    Extreme d used to be such a location. Then it was forcefully sealed by several top experts. Only after that did the Gic Union start building a camp there. However, now that the Ice River was unsealed, that ce was once again a forbidden area.

    Now... Qin Hai had appeared in one such ce.

    His fans almost fainted on the spot. It was no wonder Qin Hai was in such a crisis. That was simply a ce no human should enter.

    "What is happening to my Qin Hai?"

    "Perhaps... he¡¯s doing this to break through?"

    Some sighed.

    That¡¯s right. Breakthrough. With his potential exhausted, Qin Hai was fated to have no future. Normal methods would not grant him any improvement at all. He would be forever stuck at D ss. If he wanted to break through, he could only rely on unknown powers.

    Those unknown areas were his only hope. Hence, Qin Hai had set forth to those ces without the slightest hesitation, even if the chances of his survival were extremely low.

    "This child..." The hearts of countless people ached. "Let¡¯s try looking for that ce. Perhaps it is a ce someone has been to before."

    A lot of people started searching based on Qin Hai¡¯s coordinates. Finally, they found it among the archives of the Gic Union. Only a simple description was avable.

 Chapter 220: Frozen Sea Tundra

    Chapter 220: Frozen Sea Tundra

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Frozen Sea Tundra..."

    "I¡¯ve heard about that ce before. It is a ce that not even A-ss experts had returned alive from," someone said in rm.

    There would always be all sorts of legends surrounding a forbidden area.

    On the satellite map, every single pitch-ck or undetectable area represented a different degree of danger.

    If it was somewhere within the center of the maind where human civilization centered, regardless of how dangerous it was, the Gic Union and Gene Production Association would try their best to clear the danger there. However, for those distant locations...

    It was simply too far for their ws to reach.

    "I¡¯m afraid Qin Hai is now in grave danger."

    "Sigh."

    "How many people can actually return alive from those areas?"

    Everyone sighed.

    The fans of Qin Hai kept posting threads begging for help online, hoping that someone would go and rescue Qin Hai. As the current most charismatic celebrity producer, Qin Hai¡¯s poprity was unsurpassed by anyone.

    Even Chen Feng, thepetition champion, could notpare to him in this aspect.

    However...

    No one was willing to go rescue him.

    All the different powers and organizations, at this moment, sunk into silence.

    The single reason for this was due to the ce being the Frozen Sea Tundra.

    Going to such a ce to rescue Qin Hai? The price one had to pay was too high!

    First, due to the previous incident involving the Qin family, the Qin family had a very bad reputation nowadays. Nobody was willing to be associated with anyone from the Qin family, even if the person in question was Qin Hai.

    Second, and also the main reason, Qin Hai¡¯s potential was already exhausted. He no longer had any value attached to him. Fans? Even the fans he had now was something he gained previously when he was still with his outstanding talent. As of now, he was a person fated to remain stuck with no improvement. When more and more geniuses started surpassing Qin Hai, he would gradually lose all these fans as well.

    Regardless of which perspective one looked at it with, Qin Hai was simply not worth any investment.

    He was simply not worth saving.

    Saving him was not as simple as talking about it. That was not a ce an ordinary person could simply go. That was apletely unknown area.

    At the Gic Union, some people who cherished talent had submitted requests to save him. From the Gene Production Association, people like Hou Liang and Qin Hai¡¯s master and a lot of other seniors had submitted requests to save him as well. However, time was required.

    To organize a major rescue operation like this, they could not act immediately. The death of other geniuses that might result from this rescue operation needed to be taken into consideration as well.

    For something like this, the participants needed to be volunteers. All this would require time to coordinate. Now, from the scene depicted in the drawing, how much time did Qin Hai have?

    No one knew.

    If they were too slow, what weed them might be a corpse.

    Perhaps...

    When Qin Hai had entered the Frozen Sea Tundra, he had already been prepared for death. It was probably something outside of his expectations that someone would be able to draw out his current situation. He probably had not expected that there would be so many fans wishing he be rescued.

    "Qin Hai rescue operation..."

    "Qin Hai support crowdfunding..."

    "Qin Hai funding association..."

    All sorts of events started unfolding online. The funds umted to rescue Qin Hai also reached a terrifying amount.

    Now, even the scammers were caught in this trend. "I am Qin Hai. I am currently trapped in the Frozen Sea Tundra. My ount number is xxxxxx; please transfer funds to me. I will take you as my wife when I return safely."

    What caused the people to be speechless was the fact that some people actually fell for this. Even males were included among the victims!

    These fans were seemingly unstoppable when they went crazy.

    Unfortunately, regardless of how much funds they managed to umte, not a single A-ss expert was willing to act.

    Compared with wealth, they cherished their life and the power they had obtained with great difficulty more. None of them were willing to go to a ce they might not be able to return from.

    Currently, at a certain base, an ashen-faced Lei Ming was staring at the Spirit Sea wood in his hands. He had performed over 100 tests. However, he could not unleash even a single Void Hacker. Evidently, the Spirit Sea wood had lost its effectiveness.

    It¡¯s spoiled!

    It was spoiled by that damnable Chen Feng!

    "That goddamned son of a b*tch."

    Lei Ming was shuddering from his anger. This small branch was invaluable and was much more valuable than a lot of other items. He was already extremely careful with it. Unexpectedly, it had still been spoiled by Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng...

    Lei Ming felt like dismembering Chen Feng into a thousand pieces.

    He was sure that the next time he met Chen Feng, he would most certainly not let that person off.

    Suddenly, he saw the news being reported on his screen.

    Qin Hai...

    He had been hearing about this nonstop for the past two days. However, he had not paid much attention to it. This was the first time he got an actual look at the drawing. However, immediately after this, his attention was deeply caught by that branch in the drawing.

    Spirit Sea wood!

    Lei Ming widened his eyes. Aplete piece of Spirit Sea wood!

    Although the Spirit Sea wood he¡¯d obtained previously was quite powerful, however, at least half of it had been burnt by those idiots. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t have been so fragile as to be spoiled by a single touch from Chen Feng.

    And, currently, in Qin Hai¡¯s hands was aplete Spirit Sea wood!

    "This thing..."

    Lei Ming trembled from his surging emotions. He had to obtain this!

    As for the Frozen Sea Tundra? Under the enticing benefits he stood to gain, nothing seemed to be a problem.

    Du¡ª

    He turned hismunication tool on.

    "Brother. I found another Spirit Sea wood. Haha. The others will definitely not recognize it. They have never seen what a true Spirit Sea wood looks like. However, I saw one two days ago, despite the fact that it was spoiled shortly after.

    "No, I have not recognized it wrongly. It¡¯s at the Frozen Sea Tundra. That ce might be extremely dangerous. However, if even Qin Hai can get there, we will naturally be able to go there as well. We can silently rob the Spirit Sea wood from him before retreating," Lei Ming said emotionally.

    If even Qin Hai could reach that ce, why couldn¡¯t they?

    As for the manner of retreating, it was simply nothing to worry about. As long as they obtain the Spirit Sea wood, luck would apany them. At that time, they could leave even with their eyes closed. What was there to be afraid of?

    They had to obtain that Spirit Sea wood!

    His n had been foiled by Chen Feng once. This time, he had to make up for this regret.

    **

    Gold City.

    In a certain remote suburban district.

    In a mansion, a group of people with pitch-ck robes were kneeling in an orderly fashion. A terrifying yet bizarre aura pervaded the air.

    "In that drawing... Frozen Sea Tundra... I sensed the aura of a dragon! There... the bloodline of our ancestor might exist," an ancient yet overcast voice echoed in the air.

    "Long Yue."

    "Here!"

    "Lead them there to look for it."

    "All right," Long Yue replied with a deep tone.

    Despite the fact that he had to enter such a ce with his C-ss strength, no doubt was shown. It was his ancestor who had requested them to enter and he would certainly not harm them.

    "That is a domain belonging to us! At that ce, you will all receive the blessings of power. Unfortunately... I can¡¯t move anymore. The future of the Long family rests on your shoulders..." The overcast voice gradually disappeared.

    Countless people stood up with solemn and respectful expressions.

    "Then, let¡¯s prepare to set off," Long Yue ordered, "to search for the glory belonging to us! To search for the glory of the dragon!"

    "Roger!"

    A row of orderly and loud shouts was the response.

    Currently, Qin Hai was still trending online. What caused the public¡¯s heart to ache was the fact that up till now, there were still no experts willing to move. Countless fans grieved. This was the first time they realized that money could not aplish everything.

    However, right at this moment, some of the fans that had gone to the only route that led to the Frozen Sea Tundra saw a silhouette there. Immediately, this spread online. The onlinemunity that had just calmed down was once again in an uproar.

    That person was Chen Feng!

    The Gene Rookie Competition champion Chen Feng had quietly gone there!

    Bang!

    The whole inte was in an uproar.

    "Chen Feng is going to rescue Qin Hai?"

    "Has he gone insane?!"

    "What can we do, then?"

    Everyone was looking at this with unbelieving expressions. They had never expected that, during the moment of crisis, the first person to step forth would be Chen Feng!

    In a situation where even those experts were unwilling to move, a producer like Chen Feng had stepped forward.

    Everyone was shocked.

    "Perhaps... this is what true friendship looks like."

    The onlinemunity was in an uproar.

    Both Qin Hai and Chen Feng were already extremely popr before this. Due to this incident, they once again dominated the front pages everywhere, topping all the search engines.

    Everyone discussed about this without stop.

    Countless people were paying close attention to how this was progressing.

    Moreover, there were some wealthy fans that had directly booked a whole satellite for personal usage, hoping that they could catch even a glimpse of what was happening in the Frozen Sea Tundra. In the final scene captured by the satellite, a tiny-looking silhouette could be seen stepping into the darkness, the area that no satellites could capture.

    That was Chen Feng!

    He had finally reached the Frozen Sea Tundra!

    Hopefully... he could return alive!

    In the forbidden area, the nket of snowkes seemed to interweave together. Chen Feng was looking at the map he had in his hand. This was as far as the navigation map led. Arriving here, no other human could be seen. This was the furthest safe ground explored by the Gic Union. Anyone stepping further than this point would encounter unknown hazards.

    A gentle female voice could be heard: "Chen Feng?"

    "Who?!" Immediately, Chen Feng turned around. A silhouette walked out from among the snow. It was a beautiful youngdy wearing a white skirt. Surprise filled her bright looking eyes.

    "Are you here to look for Qin Hai?" the youngdy said excitedly. "Can you bring me along as well?"

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "Who are you?"

    He had not told anyone about himing here. How could anyone find out about this? Even if someone saw him and spread it online, that person was not supposed be ahead of him!

    This youngdy...

    Chen Feng looked at the snowkes that were dropping off her. She should have been here for quite a while.

    The youngdy smiled as she said, "I am a fan of Qin Hai. You can call me Xiao Rou."

    Fan?

    Xiao Rou?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped.

    "Hehe. I am also the one whomissioned Sister Xiao Yue to draw that drawing. I originally thought that, with the release of that drawing, I could get a lot of help. Unexpectedly, those so-called experts were all cowards," Xiao Rou said in a dissatisfied manner.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    "Luckily, there is still you," Xiao Rou said excitedly. "Hmph. You are indeed a true friend. However, it¡¯s too dangerous for you to go alone. Let me go together with you to rescue my Qin Hai."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Fans nowadays were so fanatical?

    He started studying thedy called Xiao Rou. She was extremely beautiful. With her fairplexion and the unique temperament about her, it was obvious that she was a young missus of a wealthy family. What was she doing here?

    Xiao Rou showcased her power. "I¡¯m already C ss."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    One¡¯s rank did not matter, right? Rather,bat awareness was what was vital here. This Frozen Sea Tundra was an extremely unique ce. If one did not possess sufficient awareness, even an A-ss expert could die easily. Luck Aura was the only thing that gave Chen Feng the courage toe here.

    If a stranger were to join him...

    "Impossible," Chen Feng rejected her firmly.

    "I beg you," Xiao Rou begged.

    Chen Feng sneered. "Since you are already at C ss, wouldn¡¯t it be better for you to go alone?"

    "It¡¯s different," Xiao Rou said bashfully. "I have always been training in seclusion and have never left my house before."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    This truly couldn¡¯t do!

    So this was a young missus here to chase after her idol?

    "Hmph! I knew you wouldn¡¯t agree. You miser. Sister Xiao Yue was correct indeed," Xiao Rou muttered before turning hermunication tool on. A screen popped out and a scene appeared before Chen Feng. "How about this?"

    This is...

    Instinctively, Chen Feng took a look at that scene. Immediately, his heart throbbed.

    Spirit Sea wood!

    He saw another Spirit Sea wood!

    "Sister Xiao Yue told me that you might want this thing yet can¡¯t find it. She drew me several other drawings as well. Mhm... I can help you find this thing, yo."

    A smile appeared on Xiao Rou¡¯s mouth.

    Xiao Yue?

    That mysterious genius?

    Chen Feng sunk into a solemn mood. However, what did she mean by "you want this thing yet can¡¯t find it"?

    With Luck Aura...

    Shua!

    Instinctively, Chen Feng urged his Luck Aura to work.

    Lockdown on a Spirit Sea wood!

    Shua!

    A response was received from his Luck Aura: ineffective.

    Since they were both luck-rted items, Chen Feng was unable to use the power of luck to lock onto the Spirit Sea wood¡¯s position. What if he had Qin Hai as the target, then? He tried.

    Shua!

    Ineffective!

    The ice-cold feedback woke Chen Feng up.

    The Spirit Sea wood was simply too powerful, especially its luck-rted power. It was nearly impossible for Chen Feng to use the power of luck to lock onto it.

    Moreover, the area around it couldn¡¯t be located either.

    Chen Feng had a solemn mood. "Seems like I have to manually look for it, then."

    "I can help you," Xiao Rou said proudly.

    Chen Feng sighed. "Is there a need for this?"

    Xiao Rou, 18 years old, C ss.

    This signified something extremely terrifying. This meant that this girl had an extremely astonishing talent when it came tobat. The faction supporting her would be extremely frightening as well.

    That faction should at the very least be as powerful as the previous Qin family.

    Someone from such a faction would be a fan of Qin Hai?!

    Granted, gene production was harder than pure cultivation. However, for her to be a C-ss gic warrior at the age of 18, her talent could be considered top notch.

    "What do you know?" Xiao Rou rolled her eyes. "Hmph. Us girls have always been wishing that a day woulde when an unrivaled hero would appear on a cloud with seven colors and save us. But is it not the same for you guys? I heard about your story from Sister Xiao Yue. This is also how you get mixed up with that Miss Wang Yao, right?"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    "Hence." Xiao Rou was filled with anticipation. "When my beloved Little Hai is in his moment of danger, at his moment of despair, I want to be the first person he sees! When I save him, we might be able to start a love story worthy of the legends!" Xiao Rou¡¯s eyes were twinkling as she said this.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He remembered that, when he was a student in his previous life, he had daydreamed about being a hero that saved a certain female celebrity. Ultimately, though, due to his excessively bad luck, all of that remained his imagination. As for Xiao Rou here, she was actually nning to turn her dream into a reality.

    How vigorous!

    Chen Feng was filled with admiration.

    However...

    At this mysterious forbidden area, was this youngdy that proimed her self as Qin Hai¡¯s fan truly his fan? Or perhaps she had another identity?

    Chen Feng always maintained vignce.

    "All right, I agree." Chen Feng smiled. "However, you must listen to all my orders."

    "No problem," Xiao Rou agreed without the slightest concern.

    "Good." Chen Feng started lecturing her on what she should take note of before once again setting off. However, this time around, he had the addition of a peculiar life form known as "Qin Hai¡¯s fanatical brainless fangirl" by his side...

    Soon, they arrived at the proper Frozen Sea Tundra region.

    The falling snowkes disappeared. What appeared before them was an endless expanse of ice. This was the first step anyone entering here needed to take: to cross the frozen sea!

    Frozen sea...

    Chen Feng recalled the information he had obtained during his research.

    Xiao Rou indifferently said, "A powerful dissolving power exists in this frozen sea. Anything thates into contact with this sea will be dissolved immediately, including humans. The seawater that evaporates will drift in the air and fuse with the power of lightning in the air. Hence, even the sky above this sea is extremely dreadful as well. If one goes too high above sea level, one will be struck down by lightning. If one were to get too near the sea level, one will be dissolved by the sea. Hence... only one method is avable to pass this area. To fly at a low altitude."

    Chen Feng was amazed. "You know about this?"

    "What nonsense are you saying?" Xiao Rou flung her delicate pony tail around before saying. "I am not stupid. Since I am here to get married to my little Hai after saving him, how can I die here?"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Awesome.

    Xiao Rou was about to say something. "Actually¡ª"

    Suddenly, Chen Feng was startled. "Shh!"

    "Someone else is here!"

    Shua!

    Bringing Xiao Rou with him, he retreated immediately before hiding somewhere. Right at this moment, a whole bunch of people appeared, reaching the vicinity of the frozen sea.

    The initially tranquil forbidden area was suddenly bustling with activity.

 Chapter 222: If We Are Going to Play, Letâ€™s Make It Big

    Chapter 222: If We Are Going to y, Let¡¯s Make It Big

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Before the frozen sea, several tens of silhouette in ck robes appeared. They stared at the frozen sea silently and solemnly, a bizarre sense of determination flickering in their eyes.

    "Is this the frozen sea?"

    Long Yue focused his gaze.

    They had heard of the legends surrounding this ce before and were aware of how dangerous this ce could be. Next, well, nothing else was done about the dangers they might encounter here. The Long family was indeed an extremely powerful family in the legends. However, these days, they were merely a declining family that still had the information pertaining to some mystical past events or ancient legends. As for the Frozen Sea Tundra? They had done zero research on this ce.

    The only reason they had even chosen to set off here was due to the dragon¡¯s aura their ancestor felt from the drawing.

    "Dragon 13," Long Yue said suddenly, "give it a try."

    "All right."

    The youth called Dragon 13 walked out and directly sunk his right hand into the frozen sea. At that, an astonishing scene happened. His right hand was immediately dissolved by the sea. Just like that, his right hand disappeared.

    Everyone had solemn expressions. What a terrifying sea!

    The seawater here was as mysterious as the Ice River. Despite the different effects they brought and the fact that the water here would lose its effect after several seconds out of the sea, it was still dreadful.

    This was the terror of a forbidden area.

    "I can¡¯t resist the power."

    Dragon 13 stood up calmly. His dissolved right hand was actually healing slowly. This was his gic ability: Flesh Regeneration.

    Long Yue nodded slightly. "Very good."

    If even Dragon 13¡¯s body couldn¡¯t resist it, there was no point in the others to trying. This frozen sea was something they couldn¡¯t touch at all. It appeared that they could not fly over it now.

    Long Yue continued his orders. "Dragon 17."

    Some of them started soaring. There were too many of them here and each of them possessed powerful gic abilities. Even if they did not know how things worked here, they could still easily figure it out after some tests.

    "Low altitude flight, eh?" Long Yue calmlymanded, "Transform."

    "Alright."

    "Ao¡ª"

    A faint howl.

    That group of ck-clothed people sprawled on the ground as a pair of fleshy wings grew from each of their backs.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    That group of ck-clothed people hovered and flew away.

    Chen Feng and Xiao Rou were witnessing all this with dumbstruck expressions. They were still guessing the methods these people would use to cross the sea. Unexpectedly, these people all possessed a pair of wings.

    "Long family."

    Chen Feng recognized Long Yue, a person he¡¯d once conflicted with at the Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain.

    "That n that proims themselves as the descendents of dragons?" Xiao Rou was amazed. "They had actually chosen a dragon as the direction to mutate their body. Sigh. How stupid."

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze darted around. "Why are they here?"

    He was certain that these people were not here for the Spirit Sea wood. A lot of people might know about the legends surrounding the Spirit Sea wood. However, it was nearly impossible for anyone to have actually witnessed an actual Spirit Sea wood. This item was a branch of the Spirit Sea Divine Tree with no fixed form or shape. Previously, even when Chen Feng had seen the Spirit Sea wood in Lei Ming¡¯s hands, he had not thought of its origin either. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he¡¯d felt something peculiar about that wood, he would have never discovered that it was actually Spirit Sea wood.

    This thing was an item from the legends. As for the peculiar rtionship that mysterious organization seemed to have with the Spirit Sea wood and how had Lei Ming known about this thing? What was that mysterious organization nning? All these were what Chen Feng wished to know. The Spirit Sea wood definitely could not fall into the hands of that mysterious organization.

    "I need to increase my speed," Chen Feng muttered inwardly.

    With the uproar caused by the drawing, it was very probable that the appearance of Long Yue¡¯s group here was not a simple coincidence. More people might appear here as well, regardless of the reason they came.

    Chen Feng decided that he had to cross this frozen sea as soon as possible!

    Xiao Rou looked at Chen Feng with anticipation. "How should I cross it?"

    "Come with me." Chen Feng walked toward the shore of the frozen sea.

    Shua!

    Softly, he stretched out his hand.

    "What are you doing?" Xiao Rou was shocked. You are not that Dragon 13 guy who is a gic warrior specializing in flesh cultivation and is capable of regrowing his damaged flesh.

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "Don¡¯t worry."

    Hum¡ª

    A noiseless aura dispersed around him.

    The frozen sea possessed a mysterious power that could theoretically dissolve everything. However, if that was truly the case, would this shore still exist here?

    The soil they were standing on was obviously an existence that could not be dissolved by the frozen sea. However, it was evident that normal soil would be dissolved by the sea. Hence, it was clear that there was ayer of mysterious power around the soil here. Like a protective barrier, this power protected the soil here from being damaged by the frozen sea.

    This was the energy Chen Feng was looking for.

    Shua!

    Luck Aura, full activation!

    The countless genes contained in Chen Feng¡¯s Myriad Illusions ability started flickering. Ever since Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual energy reached 3,000 points, a higher amount of powerful gic abilities contained within his Myriad Illusions had been unlocked.

    If I were to produce an Energy Equipment containing this unique attribute here, how much luck value would I require? Chen Feng transmitted this thought.

    Shua!

    Update received: two points.

    It¡¯s probable!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. Only two points of luck value would be required to produce an Energy Equipment with this special attribute. This proved that the amount of luck value exhausted would be equivalent to the activation of Myriad Illusionary Wind de coupled with attribute selection.

    Among the countless gic abilities contained within the Myriad Illusions gic ability, a gic ability that was immune to this frozen sea existed.

    Indeed!

    Chen Feng¡¯s emotions surged.

    Then let¡¯s begin!

    Bang!

    A faintyer of purple-colored Energy Equipment appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s body. From his hands to his feet, his whole body was wrapped in it. Instantly, Chen Feng was fully equipped.

    Shua!

    He soaked his right hand in the seawater.

    He could clearly see the rejection of the seawater by that faint purple energy. Indeed, it can¡¯t damage this equipment!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted.

    Shua!

    He stepped forth, standing on the frozen sea.

    He was safe and sound!

    Xiao Rou widened her eyes. "You..." What magical ability is this?! It can ignore that terrifying dissolving power of the frozen sea?

    Beforeing here, she had consulted her second uncle about this. He indeed possessed an item that was immune to the frozen sea¡¯s power. However, that was an item that was still in testing phase and was also fated to be an item with zerobat power as well. But this Chen Feng...

    Chen Feng noticed Xiao Rou¡¯s reaction. "It¡¯s somewhat troublesome."

    Could he simply cross the sea carrying her like that? That was too dangerous! With a random ssh or drop of seawater on her, this youngdy here would be a goner. At this ce, regardless of what rank a person was, it was pointless. The moment one touched the seawater... one would be erased by the power of Mother Nature!

    "What to do, then?" Suddenly, Xiao Rou¡¯s eyes shone as she said, "Oh yeah, a drawing by Sister Xiao Yue. Mhm, let¡¯s see... this one!" She took out a drawing and passed it to Chen Feng. "Sister Xiao Yue told me this drawing would be helpful to you."

    Oh?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed.

    Returning to the shore, he took the drawing and looked at it. Immediately, he was amazed.

    That was actually a blueprint for a ship. On the drawing, everything was clearly tagged. Every single energy cirction route and all the functionalities were clearly marked.

    This...

    Chen Feng was shaken.

    I can even do this with the Energy Equipment ability?

    That¡¯s right. What the drawing depicted was an Energy Equipment.

    In Chen Feng¡¯s eyes, or perhaps in the eyes of amoner, the Energy Equipment was an ability that took on the shape of a mechanical armor or ayer of energy that wrapped around the body of the user to give the user a formidable power.

    But here... it was clearly depicted that the Energy Equipment was capable of being separated from the user¡¯s body! A boat could be created using the Energy Equipment ability!

    After separating from the user, the energy would still be able to circte normally?

    Chen Feng was amazed. Subsequently, he noticed what a stupid question he had asked. Wasn¡¯t the Energy Equipment an ability where the energy required would first be exhausted before the equipment was formed?

    Granted, forming items that were separated from the user¡¯s body would have countless problems. This wasn¡¯t simply an issue no one had thought about previously. Rather, after separation from the user, a lot of known forms or operation methods would need altering. It was a process that was even harder than the form improvement that Chen Feng did.

    Hence, no one had attempted this.

    But here...

    Chen Feng looked at the drawing in his hands.

    On it, all problems one might encounter after energy separation were clearly marked. It was akin to an idiot¡¯s guide titled "Simple Steps to Produce an Energy Boat."

    I...

    Damn!

    The only thing Chen Feng could do was exim in admiration at this. This Lady Xiao Yue was actually such a terrifying person. He had initially thought that he was already blessed by the heavens with his Luck Aura. Unexpectedly, in this world, there were other existences that were much more powerful and mysterious!

    The drawings of Xiao Yue...

    The summons of Wang Chun...

    The mysterious Wang Yao...

    ...

    On top of all that, there was a mysterious organization that none could grasp.

    What a crazy era in a crazy world!

    However, even though Lady Xiao Yue was the provider of all these, Chen Feng was certain that she did not have any technical knowledge in this aspect. She was simply capable of drawing what Chen Feng required with her ability.

    Boat?

    What joke was that?

    Since the solution for the biggest problem concerning energy separation was now avable, why should he build a boat?

    Might as well be grandiose if he were to make a move.

    "Naive."

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s mouth.

    Gulp.

    He swallowed two bottles of gene reagent.

    Bang!

    His energy started blooming. With Myriad Illusionary Wind de as the energy supply, Chen Feng started circting his energy as prescribed by the drawing. In that instant, a terrifying energy started blooming around them.

    All 3,000 points of spiritual energy in his body were unleashed together with the unlimited Wind des created by his luck value.

    Condense!

    Energy Equipment!

    Chen Feng erupted with all his power.

    Bang!

    On that ice-blue sea, a huge object appeared out of thin air. Lady Xiao Rou by the side had been waiting for a boat to appear. That huge object that had instead appeared had her dumbstruck.

    "You, you, you... what is this?"

    Footnotes:

    1. Recap, in Chinese, dragon = long. Hence, these Long family members with numbers as their name have the same surname as Long Yue since their name can either be tranted as Long 13 or Dragon 13. I had chosen to use Dragon instead of Long for them to highlight the importance this family ced upon dragons.

 Chapter 223: The Cocky Chen Feng

    Chapter 223: The Cocky Chen Feng

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "What is this?"

    Xiao Rou was dumbstruck.

    Boat?

    The heck?

    What appeared in front of her was obviously an enormous battleship. Chen Feng had actually used the assembly methods of Energy Equipment to forge a battleship?!

    How was this possible?

    She was a gic warrior as well. Hence, when Chen Feng had been building this ship earlier, she had been able to feel the amount of spiritual energy exhausted. How much spiritual energy did Chen Feng have? How was this possible?

    "He¡¯s insane," Xiao Rou muttered.

    And now.

    "Done."

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    With 3,000 points of spiritual energy, enhancing gene reagents, and the unlimited Wind des powered by his luck value, Chen Feng had instantly unleashed a power that had seemingly reached a brand new height.

    This was a battleship. To be more urate, this was the hull of a battleship built using his Energy Equipment ability.

    The interior of this ship was empty.

    Mhm...

    High-level technologies?

    Chen Feng had no knowledge on that aspect.

    At a nce, this thing here appeared like a battleship. However, if one were to be frank, this was simply an Energy Equipment of Chen Feng¡¯s. That was all there was to it. Chen Feng could only control it to move. There were no other extra functions.

    However... this single function was sufficient for it to be used on the frozen sea.

    "Let¡¯s go!"

    Chen Feng stepped onto the battleship.

    Bang!

    He controlled it, and slowly, the battleship started moving.

    Xiao Rou raised her hand and meekly asked, "I have a question. Isn¡¯t this showing off too much?"

    How was this merely show off?

    This was simply an unbridled act.

    What ce was this? The frozen sea! One of the forbidden areas of the legends.

    Moreover, due to the released drawing, some other people had starteding here recently. Now this was a ce that not only had a dangerous environment but also formidable mutated beasts and unexpected enemies within as well.

    And what were they doing now? Riding on a enormous battleship shining with a purple radiance in an absolutely unrestrained manner. In this seemingly boundless sea, it was simply an act so unbridled no one could miss them!

    As long as one wasn¡¯t blind, one would be able to see them.

    "It¡¯s not."

    Chen Feng waved his hand.

    Gulp.

    With a bottle of spirit recovery gene reagent, his spiritual energy started recovering.

    "But wouldn¡¯t it be better if we were to make a small boat and cross this sea quietly?" Xiao Rou said with a bitter smile.

    "Low profile might not be the key to survival," Chen Feng said indifferently.

    Building a boat? To hide and tremble in fear at the sight of others?

    What joke was that!

    This was a forbidden area. He had exhausted all his spiritual energy and two bottles of gene reagents to produce this Energy Equipment. Something produced in such a manner by him was definitely not a mere empty shell!

    Xiao Rou shrugged. "There are no extra functions for this huge ship of yours anyway."

    This energy battleship might appear formidable, but it was essentially Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual energy. Even if it was enhanced with some unique methods, it was still not powerful enough. A single full power attack from a warrior at C ss or above was sufficient to destroy it.

    For example, the Long Yue they¡¯d seen earlier.

    Regardless of how she looked at it, Chen Feng was simply courting a grandiose death.

    "Please trust Miss Xiao Yue," Chen Feng said with a toying expression.

    Xiao Rou: "..."

    What could she say to that?

    She now seriously doubted whether Sister Xiao Yue¡¯s advice to follow Chen Feng was the correct choice. From what she had seen so far, this guy was simply a lunatic!

    Had Sister Xiao Yue thought of how crazy this guy was when she sketched her drawings?

    Bang!

    The shiny battleship set off.

    Moving in an absolutely unrestrained manner.

    In this dusky world of the frozen sea, this ship was akin to a brightmp.

    Soon, a bunch of silhouettes could be seen a distance away from them. This was Long Yue¡¯s group.

    The people in Long Yue¡¯s group, who were putting in great effort to fly at low attitude with their wings, saw Chen Feng as well. Immediately, they were dumbstruck. Someone was actually taking a stroll on this sea?

    "Should we rob that ship from them?"

    A lot of them were tempted.

    At this very moment.

    Shua!

    Above the battleship, two rows of cannons appeared and uniformly aimed at Long Yue¡¯s group. Purple radiance swirled around the cannons, ready to fire at any time. At this sight, all their temptations vanished.

    What was that?

    Ion cannon?

    They were unsure.

    Long Yue stared at the cannons in rm, afraid that a terrifying power would suddenly shoot out of the cannons.

    Shua!

    Their eyes met. Sparks seemed to appear between them.

    Long Yue could feel that this battleship was not particrly powerful. If they were to rob this battleship for their own use, things would be much easier for them. If they were to act now, Chen Feng would most definitely fail to block their attacks.

    However, that swirling radiance around the cannons was giving him an ominous feeling.

    An unusual power seemed to be hidden there. Moreover, this was the frozen sea. It was simply not a wise choice to engage in a battle here.

    After a long time.

    Long Yue took the initiative to back off. "Go."

    "Roger," the rest answered.

    Shua!

    Once again, they pped their wings and flew away.

    "Smart," Chen Feng said indifferently.

    Shua!

    The battleship drifted away.

    In this first encounter with a different party, Chen Feng won without a battle.

    Xiao Rou stared at those cannons in amazement. "Are all of those real cannons?"

    "Naturally, these are fake cannons," Chen Feng said.

    This was simply equipment formed of energy, not a ship built with technology. How was it possible for him to produce an actual ion cannon? This youngdy here couldn¡¯t be an idiot, right?

    Xiao Rou: "..."

    Fake?

    So, he had simply been bluffing earlier?

    "Are you not afraid that they will really make their move?"

    Xiao Rou smiled bitterly. Chen Feng did not seem like a reliable person.

    "They won¡¯t," Chen Feng said indifferently. "However, do you trust me if I tell you that they will take the boat away from us without the slightest hesitation if we are currently on a boat?"

    Xiao Rou sunk into silence.

    That was because she found what Chen Feng said quite agreeable!

    This was a forbidden area. This was a ce with no rules!

    Faced with any act that would grant one some sort of advantage, one would not hesitate to do it.

    Shua!

    The battleship continued forth.

    After the encounter with Long Yue¡¯s group, the subsequent journey progressed quite smoothly. They easily traveled half the frozen sea. Just as they were reaching the end of the sea...

    In the distance, a group of silhouettes appeared.

    Moreover, different from Long Yue¡¯s group, these people were all emitting terrifying auras from their bodies. The very moment Chen Feng saw them, they spotted him as well.

    It¡¯s them!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed.

    Those from the mysterious organization had finally appeared!

    Lei Ming!

    Lei Hao!

    And three other people he had never seen before.

    "Chen Feng!"

    Xiao Rou was anxious.

    She could feel how terrifying these people were.

    One A ss, one C ss, and three B sses.

    God. What damnable squad was this?

    "Go, go, go!" Xiao Rou said anxiously.

    If they were to retreat now, these people might not be able to catch up to them on this frozen sea.

    "We won¡¯t be able to escape," Chen Feng said indifferently.

    At times like this, they definitely could not show any fear!

    If he truly turned around and fleed, these people would definitely start chasing after them.

    "It¡¯s you!" Lei Ming¡¯s gaze was ice cold. This was the guy that had spoiled his spirit sea wood.

    The aura of the Lei Hao beside him did not appear too calm either. He was staring coldly at Chen Feng, his killing intent seething out of him. This was the guy that had rescued Wang Yao!

    Naturally, what rmed them more was that battleship!

    In this ce, there actually existed an item that was immune to the dissolving power of the sea... This thing...

    Greed shed in their eyes.

    "It has been a while." Chen Feng waved his hand indifferently. "Haha, I did not expect you two to know each other."

    Shua!

    Slowly, they approached him.

    "Chen Feng!" Xiao Rou said nervously.

    "Don¡¯t worry." Chen Feng waved his hand.

    Shua!

    The rows of cannon once again moved and aimed straight at Lei Ming¡¯s group. Immediately, they stopped their advance. Evidently, they had never expected that these cannons would be able to move.

    Were these real cannons? Or were these fake cannons?

    Ion cannons?

    They exchanged nces and ultimately decided to retreat for now.

    It was simply not worth getting into a fight at this location.

    They did not fear that ion cannon. However, that powerful energy undtion from the cannons would attract the terrifying life forms residing within the sea. The only way to prevent that was to destroy the battleship.

    However, if the battleship ended up destroyed, what was the point in them acting in the first ce?

    It was simply not worth it.

    "You should rejoice in the fact that we are now on the frozen sea," Lei Ming said coldly.

    Lei Hao¡¯s killing intent bloomed. "After leaving this ce, I will kill you."

    A powerful aura belonging to an A-ss expert started spreading, causing one¡¯s heart to tremble at its might.

    Go!

    They started retreating.

    Bluffed!

    Xiao Rou was overjoyed. She had not expected that, despite his madness, Chen Feng was quite talented when it came to bluffing. He had sessfully bluffed two groups of people now.

    However, outside of everyone¡¯s expectations, Chen Feng suddenly opened his mouth at this moment.

    "Do you think you can leave as you wish?"

    Suddenly, Chen Feng smiled.

    What? Lei Ming¡¯s group stared at Chen Feng with an expression like they were looking at an idiot.

    Xiao Rou widened her eyes. What is this guy thinking?!

    "It is really quite fortunate for me to encounter you all here." A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "If I were to let you guys off after being threatened, where could I put my face? A ss? Here... you are nothing more than a dog!"

    Pa!

    He pressed a certain button in front of him.

    Bang!

    Instantly, a blue radiance started shining intensely.

 Chapter 224: The Furious Pursuit!

    Chapter 224: The Furious Pursuit!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    A multitude of icy blue radiances started blooming.

    Xiao Rou was dumbstruck, as she had never expected Chen Feng to stir trouble here just as this group of people was about to leave. She had also never expected these cannons to be truly capable of shooting something out.

    However... even if they could shoot something out, what was the point?

    That was an A-ss expert there! What damage could an energy battleship formed by a D ss deal to him?

    This was supposed to bemon sense.

    Moreover, even Lei Hao thought the same. Their group nked, as they had never expected Chen Feng to have the guts to make a move against them. Moreover, he was the one who took the initiative to start the battle. Was this guy crazy?

    However... when the blue radiance neared them, their expressions changed greatly.

    "Evade!" Lei Hao shouted.

    Shua!

    Dragging Lei Ming with him, he retreated furiously.

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    Light swirled around them.

    "Be careful!"

    One of the gic warriors was unable to dodge it in time and was pierced through by the blue radiance. With an unbelieving expression, he lowered his head and stared at the huge hole that had appeared on his chest.

    "I..."

    Before even finishing his sentence, loudly, he fell into the frozen sea.

    Bang!

    Countless lights swirled around.

    A formidable B-ss gic warrior was thus killed.

    ??

    What happened?

    Xiao Rou widened her dumbstruck eyes. Chen Feng had killed a B-ss gic warrior?

    "What a fast reaction time," Chen Feng praised. He had initially believed that he would be able to kill Lei Ming as well. Surprisingly, Lei Hao had rescued him.

    Lei Hao stared deeply at Chen Feng. "You..."

    "Go!" hemanded.

    Surprisingly, he led the group as they turned around to flee.

    Chen Feng sneered. "Can you escape?"

    Fire!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Multiple icy blue beams shot out of the cannon, creating multiple huge waves on the water as theynded. Lei Hao¡¯s group was evading without stop with unsightly expressions on their faces.

    "Crazy! Crazy!" Xiao Rou muttered.

    Good gracious. What was she seeing here? A magnificent A-ss gic warrior was being chased after by Chen Feng? What on earth had happened?

    How could a mere energy battleship be something an A-ss warrior feared? Xiao Rou started studying the battleship and was immediately stunned.

    The blue radiance shooting out of the cannons was actually the seawater!

    That¡¯s right! That was the seawater of the frozen sea!

    These so-called cannons were something with no energy-shooting capabilities. They were merely extracting the seawater before spraying them out. That¡¯s all there was to it.

    This...

    Xiao Rou did not know whether she should cry orugh.

    She recalled that thest time she¡¯d seen something simr to this, it had been at the theme park. In other words, Chen Feng had created some sort of water gun to kill a B-ss gic warrior before subsequently chasing after the rest of them armed with his water gun?

    Truly...

    What could she say to this?

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Lei Hao¡¯s group fled with all their might.

    Water sshed around them without stop, while behind them, the shiny purple battleship followed closely. Chen Feng had been chasing after them for a straight 10 km.

    Lei Hao was seething with killing intent. When had he ever received such humiliation? "Chen Feng, don¡¯t push it with this bullying of yours!"

    Chased after by a D-ss gic warrior?

    Chen Feng sneered. "So what if I bully you?"

    Sympathy?

    It was nonexistent.

    When Lei Hao made his move against Chen Feng and Wang Yao previously, did he hold back?

    The moment Chen Feng saw Xiao Yue¡¯s energy boat blueprint, he had prepared to do this. Why else had he wasted his spiritual energy to build this battleship?

    His intention was to deal with the mysterious organization! Granted, his initial target had been Lei Ming. Lei Hao¡¯s appearance was quite surprising for him. However... even if it was Lei Hao, Chen Feng¡¯s aim was the same: to kill!

    If he had the chance, he would definitely end them today!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Once again, several blue radiances shot out of the cannons.

    A B-ss gic warrior brushed past a tiny portion of the water bullet. Immediately, a huge portion of his body dissolved, almost destroying one of his organs in the process.

    Their expressions were unsightly. This won¡¯t do!

    They were sure that if this continued, they would definitely die!

    "Chen Feng. You are too excessive." Coldly, Lei Hao stared at Chen Feng. "Do you really think that I can¡¯t do anything to you?"

    Hum¡ª

    A terrifying power started condensing within his hands.

    He was an A-ss warrior! He had a dignity that belonged to A-ss warriors! Even if he hadn¡¯t recovered from his previous battle during the dark freak incident, even if his strength was greatly weakened presently, he was not someone a mere D ss like Chen Feng could push around!

    "This is the frozen sea. If I were to use excessive strength, the mutated beast residing in the sea might be attracted." Lei Hao inhaled deeply. "Those mutated beasts among this mystical frozen sea are something even I do not wish to face. Are you sure you want to attract them out now?"

    Shua!

    Lei Hao¡¯s gaze was cold, "If those beasts were to appear... hehe. We will be able to flee after putting in a great amount of effort. How about you?"

    Lei Hao spoke forthrightly. He was in A ss and hispanions were in B ss. As for Chen Feng? He was merely in D ss!

    The only reason Chen Feng was able to keep up with them currently was because they had been limiting their energy usage in fear of attracting those beasts. Hence, the speed of their flight had been quite slow. However, if one of those beasts were to appear, they would definitely ignore everything else and focus all their power into escaping.

    At that time...

    The slowest person here, Chen Feng, would definitely be the first person to die. Even if someone from Lei Hao¡¯s group ended up dying, Chen Feng and Xiao Rou would die together.

    Lei Hao stared coldly at Chen Feng. "Know when to stop lest you go too far."

    If possible, he did not wish to perform such an act where both sides would be harmed.

    "Hehe." Chen Feng did notment on that.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Another session of water bullets shot out of the cannons.

    "Chen Feng!" Lei Hao was furious. "You are courting death!"

    Bang!

    Abruptly, a terrifying energy started emerging.

    At this instant, the terrifying power of an A-ss expert bloomed. The formidable yet astonishing power emerged as Lei Hao stared ahead with sharp eyes, killing intent evident in his eyes.

    Killing Chen Feng?

    It was an act as simple as raising his hand.

    Lei Hao sneered. "I will first kill you before escaping with them."

    However, at this moment.

    "Ao¡ª"

    A loud sound reverberated from the depths of the frozen sea.

    Lei Hao¡¯s expression changed greatly. "Not good!"

    Indeed, formidable life forms existed within this sea!

    "Go!"

    Xiu!

    Lei Hao grabbed his younger brother and fled hastily with the remaining two B-ss gic warriors.

    Shua!

    Their silhouettes disappeared shortly after.

    Currently, not far from the battleship, the outline of a huge shadow started emerging from the depths of the sea. Even before emerging from the water, it was scary enough to cause one to tremble.

    Xiao Rou¡¯s expression darkened. "It¡¯s over."

    They were not as fast as those A-ss and B-ss gic warriors!

    The battleship was something that floated on the frozen sea. Due to the current bubbling currents of the sea, the battleship was simply incapable of moving away. However, at this moment, Chen Feng recalled something.

    "Oh yeah. I forgot to tell you something." Chen Feng said. "This battleship was assembled using the same energy that prevented the shore from being dissolved by this sea. Hence, despite how shiny our battleship appears to other humans, for these beings that reside within the sea, we are simply the same as a mobile reef on the sea."

    Xiao Rou: "..."

    Reef??

    She looked toward the direction Lei Hao¡¯s group had fled to.

    Indeed. Under the sea, a huge shadow that was furiously chasing after them could be seen. The faster Lei Hao¡¯s group moved, the more intense their energy exhaustion would be. With that, the more attracted the life form of the frozen sea would be toward them.

    Xiao Rou mourned them. "How pitiful."

    She was now sure that Chen Feng was a freak with a twisted mind. Despite his talent and intelligence, at his core, this was a guy filled with twisted tricks.

    Hmph hmph.

    My beloved Qin Hai is still the more obedient kid after all.

    Currently, Chen Feng was looking at the sea. Suddenly, his gaze concentrated.

    That was the spot where the B ss warrior had fallen into earlier. His body, his clothes, everything on him was cleanly dissolved by the sea. However, a particr badge of his had survived and was floating on the sea.

 Chapter 225: Karma

    Chapter 225: Karma

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The badge was floating on the sea.

    "This thing here wasn¡¯t dissolved?"

    Chen Feng was shaken.

    What item was that?

    Shua!

    Carefully, he approached the badge and picked it up. A familiar aura could be felt once he held the badge in his hand.

    "This is..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed slightly. The power of Spirit Sea wood was felt! Even if it was only a sliver of it, but it was Spirit Sea wood...

    Chen Feng frowned.

    The badge he held was light yet filled with mystery.

    He studied it and found that this was the badge for core members of that mysterious organization. This was an item only the core members were eligible to have.

    "They actually used Spirit Sea wood to make their badges?"

    Chen Feng was shocked. Only a weak sliver of the Spirit Sea wood¡¯s power was contained within the badge. However, if the amount of badges were high enough, the amount of Spirit Sea wood exhausted would probably be quite high.

    How had this mysterious organization obtained so much Spirit Sea wood? What was the point of making their badge using Spirit Sea wood?

    Shua!

    Chen Feng tried activating it. However, there was no response.

    Only the owner can use it?

    Chen Feng was unsure.

    However, at this moment, his Luck Aura abruptly activated. A torrent of power gushed toward the mysterious badge Chen Feng held in his hand, and something astonishing happened.

    Hum¡ª

    The badge in his hand crumbled.

    All the power contained within the badge was actually absorbed by his Luck Aura.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around him, and subsequently, the badge in his hand turned into dust.

    ?

    Chen Feng was dumbstruck. When he once again checked himself, he was shocked to find that his over 20 points of luck value had now increased to over 500 points.

    His luck value had increased!

    Chen Feng eximed in admiration, "This thing here can actually be converted into luck value?" He was aware that the power of Spirit Sea wood was contained within the badge. He was also aware that the power of luck contained within the Spirit Sea wood waspletely at odds with his Luck Aura¡¯s power of luck. However, he had never expected his Luck Aura to directly devour the power in the badge.

    It was the same as the previous time. Luck Aura was behaving in a tyrannical manner.

    Too strong!

    Chen Feng was shocked.

    The power of Spirit Sea wood could actually be absorbed in such a manner? This was the second time Chen Feng had gotten his hands on Spirit Sea wood. Once again, it had brought him a pleasant surprise.

    "Hence... the first time, the Spirit Sea wood was powerful enough to upgrade my Luck Aura. This time, the power is weak and was insufficient to alter the nature of my Luck Aura, so Luck Aura decided to directly absorb its power to replenish the luck values?" Chen Feng guessed.

    With the tyrannical nature of Luck Aura, this was quite possibly the truth.

    "What¡¯s up?" Xiao Rou was somewhat curious as Chen Feng had suddenly stopped moving.

    "Nothing." Chen Feng shook his head as he shifted his gaze to look in the direction Lei Hao¡¯s group was headed toward. Now he was starting to look forward to encountering them. Mhm... 500 points of luck value per badge. If all their badges were taken by him...

    Moreover, would the Spirit Sea wood¡¯s power contained in all their badges be the same? Perhaps it would differ depending on their ranks?

    If that was the case...

    Chen Feng felt like he had opened the door to a brand new world.

    This was genuinely how he felt currently. Luck value¡¯s recovery rate was too slow. One point per hour! In the past, whenever Chen Feng needed to do something, he needed to prepare himself for over 10 days or half a month. Otherwise, his luck value would be too embarrassingly little in amount.

    Now, though...

    "Mysterious organization?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were now ignited. The mysterious organization that he had previously tried his best to avoid had now be the best exp farm for his Luck Aura. As long as he could defeat them, he could get as much luck value as he wished for!

    Bang!

    Once again, the battleship set sail.

    Their target was the tundra. The frozen sea was extremely huge. It appeared even moreso when one needed to carefully fly at low altitude as one crossed it. However, for Chen Feng, who was simply absolutely unrestrained in his manner of crossing, the size of this sea did not pose him many problems.

    His battleship traveled forth speedily.

    ng!

    With a loud ng, the battleship knocked against the coast. They had arrived! Currently, not much energy was left in the battleship. The battleship transformed into countless light particles as it dissipated.

    Chen Feng was quite surprised to find that they were not the first group here.

    Before them was an endless expanse of snowy tundra with deep footprints on it. Not long before they had arrived, someone else had arrived here in advance.

    Someone else is already here...

    Chen Feng sunk into a solemn mood.

    Immediately after he¡¯d seen the drawing, he had started preparing toe here. With his energy battleship, he had even arrived earlier than the group from the mysterious organization.

    Unexpectedly, someone else had been faster than them!

    Who could that be?

    Chen Feng was in a solemn mood.

    Chen Feng studied the footprints on the ground. They were seemingly left by humans yet, at the same time, did not appear human.

    "These footprints..."

    Chen Feng had a solemn expression on his face.

    "It could be some other life form," Chen Feng guessed. It might have been some amphibious life forms from the frozen sea.

    The tundra was a unique ce. Simr to the frozen sea, a mysterious power was here as well. However, due to this being a ce nobody hade to before, nobody was clear on the type of dangers here.

    Chen Feng stared ahead. Only an endless white could be seen.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Snowkes drifted through the air. When theynded on the ground, they melted noiselessly, giving off an unusually odd feeling.

    This ce...

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    At the same time, Lei Hao¡¯s group had finally escaped in a wretched manner after being chased after by the beast of the frozen sea. However, one of them had still suffered grave injuries in the process.

    They could have been considered lucky. Due to the high intensity of the energy they were unleashing in their escape, a different beast had been attracted. In the end, both beasts had started fighting each other, giving them the opportunity to escape.

    They rubbed their badges. In a lot of circumstances, this badge was capable of giving them subtle aid.

    This was akin to a holy item to them. A mysterious power only the core members were eligible to possess.

    "Chen Feng..."

    Lei Hao etched this name into his memory.

    He had never expected that a day woulde where he would be messed around with by a D-ss gic warrior. It had been the same back then at the Ice River. Now, it was still the same.

    This early in, out of their group of five, one was already dead and another one was seriously injured. They were now seething with killing intent.

    Chen Feng...

    Their hatred toward this person intensified.

    "We will have our chance," Lei Ming said coldly.

    Chen Feng could only act so rampantly due to him possessing an ability that was not affected by the frozen sea. If it hadn¡¯t been for that, Chen Feng would have died without even noticing how it had happened!

    When we leave this ce... Hehe.

    "Let¡¯s go. It¡¯s too dangerous here," Lei Hao said with a deep tone. "Little Tian¡¯s injuries are too heavy. We need to leave the frozen sea as soon as possible."

    The rest nodded their heads. "Understood."

    Fortunately, they were now very near the tundra.

    Shua!

    They started flying forward at a low altitude and were able to reach the end of the frozen sea shortly after.

    However, when they arrived , they were surprised to see two silhouettes there. The silhouettes were seemingly hesitating, not daring to step forth.

    That was...

    Chen Feng?

    Their eyes shone.

    This was truly karma!

    Just as they vowed that they would take care of Chen Feng, they encountered him?

    "It¡¯s you guys?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed greatly. Instinctively, he wanted to flee.

    However, it was toote!

    "Die!"

    Lei Ming¡¯s furious group charged at him.

    This was especially true for that injured B-ss warrior. If it wasn¡¯t for this damnable Chen Feng, he would not have been in his current sorry state!

    However...

    Right this moment, silently, Chen Feng fished out a huge, odd-looking water gun. It greatly resembled a toy. However, Lei Hao, with his acute senses, noticed that a long hose was connected to the water gun. It spread all the way until the frozen sea. That thing was...

    "Dodge!!" Lei Hao howled abruptly.

    What?

    The rest of his group had an ominous feeling at that shout.

    Bang!

    Streaks of icy water gushed out.

    Pu!

    Lei Ming¡¯s group dodged hastily. However, that injured B-ss warrior was too close. That, coupled with his injuries, meant he failed to dodge in time and was pierced through on the spot.

    "Chen Feng!!!" Lei Hao bellowed furiously.

    Chen Feng merely sneered. "Hmph."

    Bang!

    Bang!

    A session of water bullets were shot out while Lei Hao¡¯s group escaped in a sorry manner.

    Lei Hao stared at Chen Feng coldly. "I will definitely kill you!"

    "Go!"

    Shua!

    With a sh, they escaped.

    Escaped?

    Chen Feng put his water gun away in an unsatisfied manner.

    He could distinctly remember that thest time he¡¯d held a water gun in such an unbridled manner was when he¡¯d been in kindergarten. Granted, he had still been badly beaten up afterward, since back then he had identally sprayed his teacher¡¯s face full of water.

 Chapter 226: Life Forms of the Snow Tundra

    Snow was everywhere. Lei Hao¡¯s group of three entered the snow tundra with a faintyer of ligthing around them. Surprisingly, when the snowkesnded on theyer of ligthing, the spot where the snowkesnded would actually sink down.

    "That damnable bastard."

    Lei Hao was gnashing his teeth.

    This was already the third time they had been yed around with by Chen Feng!

    Moreover, only three remained out of their original team of five.

    Lei Ming¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Should we..."

    The reason Chen Feng could be so unbridled now was due to the frozen sea¡¯s power. As long as they went further away from the shore and deeper into the snow tundra, there was simply no need for them to fear Chen Feng.

    They only needed to wait here. When Chen Feng arrived, hehe...

    "Idiot," the only surviving B-ss gic warrior said as his cold gazended on Lei Ming. "Have you forgotten what ce this is?"

    Ah?

    Lei Ming was puzzled.

    Suddenly, a bone-piercing chill emerged. At this, Lei Ming came to himself. This was the Frozen Sea Tundra! As he was too angered by Chen Feng, he had almost forgotten that this was a forbidden area. Even with his elder brother, who was an A-ss gic warrior, by his side, this was still an extremely dangerous ce.

    For example... that terrifying life form they¡¯d encountered at the frozen sea earlier.

    Simrly, would this snow tundra be an easy ce to survive?

    Lei Ming gulped. "Go go!"

    Now he did not feel like staying here a single minute more than necessary. It would be better for him to prioritize thepletion of this mission and leave with the spirit sea wood as soon as possible.

    "Let¡¯s go." Lei Hao led them as they continued forth.

    Currently, Chen Feng had just finished absorbing the badge of the gic warrior that had been killed earlier. An extra 500 points of luck value were added to his pool.

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "Now I¡¯m even falling in love with you guys."

    This is truly an organization filled to the brim with benefits!

    However, Chen Feng was clear that this was as far as he could go in this unbridled act of his.

    He had sessfully killed that B-ss gic warrior due to abination of multiple factors, such as the heavy injuries on that gic warrior, his surprise attack, and the power of the frozen sea. However, moving forward... he could only rely on himself.

    Since Lei Hao¡¯s group had prated deeper into the snow tundra, Chen Feng could not fall behind.

    "Let¡¯s go."

    From the shore, they tried stepping onto the proper snow tundra region.

    However, at this instant, Chen Feng¡¯s sense of crisis red. Abruptly, he stepped back. In front of him, a white silhouette shed past. At this instant, the chill in the air intensified.

    Whoosh.

    The white silhouettended.

    It was actually a snowy white rabbit.

    Thanks to its snowy white fur, one would almost miss this rabbit amidst all the snow here. From the small and exquisite frame of this rabbit, a power that caused one¡¯s heart to palpitate could be felt. That power was at the very least C ss!

    Hum¡ª

    Turning into a white sh, the rabbit charged forth viciously.

    Whoosh!

    The white sh gleamed coldly.

    "You are courting death." Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. Although he was merely at D ss, he was not someone anyone could bully.

    Bang!

    Unlimited Wind des were activated, powering the appearance of an Energy Equipment.

    With his 3,000 points of luck value, under the unlimited Wind des, a power equivalent to 10,000 points of luck value were unleashed. Coupled with the amplifier of 200% provided by his Energy Equipment...

    Bang!

    Light swirled around Chen Feng¡¯s body. His power increased, temporarily putting him into the realm of a C ss.

    Bang!

    With a single punch from Chen Feng, this rabbit was killed.

    "Ah¡ª" Xiao Rou cried out in fear.

    "..." Chen Feng nced at her. "If you dare to say ¡®how could you kill such a cute rabbit,¡¯ I will definitely dump you here and leave alone ."

    "Oh, no." Xiao Rou pointed behind Chen Feng. "There seems to be something there."

    What?

    Chen Feng turned around.

    Behind him, amidst the nket of white, the ground trembled suddenly before it started growing in height.

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils constricted as he looked at the clump of snow that was growing taller before, ultimately, a huge beast appeared from beneath the ground. That was actually a five-meter-tall rabbit.

    Its strength was B ss!

    Bang!

    The huge rabbit leaped.

    "Go!"

    Dragging Xiao Rou with him, Chen Feng retreated frantically.

    What joke was that? Even if this rabbit was not as powerful as Lei Hao, its B-ss strength, coupled with its huge size, was sufficient to nt fear in one¡¯s heart.

    Moreover... the rabbit¡¯s speed was quite high! Why did such a thing exist?

    Chen Feng was rmed.

    He was aware that, as an unusual ce, a mysterious power would be contained within this snow tundra. However, he had never expected that, just as he entered this ce, he would be hunted by a crazy rabbit.

    Shua!

    Suddenly, an even more intense sense of crisis emerged from his heart. Immediately, Chen Feng stopped his steps.

    Bang!

    The ground before him started cracking. A three-meter-long carrot was impaled deep into the ground.

    Thump.

    Thump.

    Calmly, the rabbit approached while the ground trembled.

    Shua!

    It stopped before Chen Feng and Xiao Rou and looked at them with a toying expression, akin to the expression on a cat¡¯s face when it saw a mouse.

    This was a beast with wisdom! Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled as he realized this. This was extremely terrifying!

    No wonder...

    This fellow here had felt the strength of Lei Hao and was quite afraid of him, so it had waited for Lei Hao to leave before moving against Chen Feng. Nowadays, even a rabbit knew to avoid the strong and bully the weak?

    Things were going to get troublesome.

    Chen Feng raised his head and stared at the rabbit in front of him.

    Hum¡ª

    Red light flickered in the rabbit¡¯s eyes as a berserk killing intent could be felt from its eyes.

    Those formidable life forms of the frozen sea would all be hidden within the depths of the sea. However, here at the snow tundra, the terrifying life forms that resided here would appear one after another, especially after sensing unfamiliar auras.

    It¡¯s getting dangerous!

    Chen Feng clenched his fists tightly.

    They were already quite far away from the frozen sea. Otherwise, he would definitely have sprayed this damnable rabbit to death with his water gun! Furthermore, if this rabbit here truly possessed wisdom, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to aplish much using the seawater anyway.

    What should he do, then?

    Chen Feng stared at his own body. The only thing he could rely on presently was this set of Energy Equipment. This was the strongest gic ability he possessed presently, which had forcefully raised his power level to match a C-ss warrior. However, that was all it could aplish. This rabbit here was a B-ss mutated beast!

    Meeting it head on? That was simply akin to courting death.

    However, if he were to flee...

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze darted around.

    With the majority of the energy in his Energy Equipment being wind attribute, his speed wasparatively fast. Regretfully, though, this rabbit seemed to be even better in regard to speed.

    Then, only one method was avable to him.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    The Energy Equipment was not something that could only be used to form a durable energy armor for himself. It could be also used in a straightforward and rough manner as well. However, this was something that Chen Feng had always avoided using.

    Right at this moment.

    ng!

    With a loud sound, the rabbit easily pulled out that huge carrot from the ground.

    Bang!

    The ground trembled slightly while countless snowkes sshed around.

    "Now!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    "Go!"

    Bang!

    His Energy Equipment started radiating.

    At this instant, the Energy Equipment on Chen Feng that was as powerful as a C-ss warrior erupted!

    That¡¯s right!

    All the energy within his Energy Equipment had erupted together at this instant.

    A terrifying energy bloomed as all the power of the Energy Equipment was instantly unleashed, giving Chen Feng a short boost of power.

    Instantly.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng and Xiao Rou vanished, leaving afterimages behind.

    This speed was astonishingly terrifying.

    This was equivalent to an all-out eruption from a C-ss warrior.

    "Have we escaped?"

    Chen Feng could sense the rabbit¡¯s aura disappearing. We escaped!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart shivered. This ce was truly too scary. However, before Chen Feng could even breath out in relief, an intense sense of crisis descended upon him. The direction of it...

    Shua!

    Abruptly, Chen Feng raised his head.

    In the sky.

    A huge rabbit was descending from the sky. The huge carrot in its hand was aimed straight at Chen Feng as a dazzling radiance was condensed at the tip of the carrot.

    Damn it!

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed greatly. This rabbit caught up?

    Shua!

    A bone-piercing chill descended as the huge silhouette above them seemed to shade them from the sky. A terrifying power descended, locked down onto Chen Feng and Xiao Rou.

    At this moment, Xiao Rou¡¯s high-pitch scream resounded.

    "Ah¡ª"

    Somewhat ufortable by the high-pitch scream, Chen Feng covered his ears.

    As he was about to try activating his Luck Aura to see if there was anything it could aplish, he was shocked to find that the tyrannical descending rabbit gradually slowed down until it finally stopped. Next, it started moving backward. Its speed started increasing until, finally, it was only a small dot in the sky...

    Dang!

    Chen Feng was stupefied.

    He looked at Xiao Rou. "What gic ability do you have?"

    "R-reversing gravity," Xiao Rou said as she panted.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    No wonder she was so full of vigor!

    This youngdy had been quite useless during the trip, to the point that Chen Feng almost forgot that thisdy here was a C-ss gic warrior!

    "Let¡¯s leave quickly," Xiao Rou said nervously. "Reversing gravity won¡¯t be able to kill it. It will return soon."

    Chen Feng nodded. "Mhm." The both of them moved away rapidly.

    After a long time, that rabbit descended from the sky once again, a gloomy expression on its face.

    Evidently, it resented the fact that these prey had escaped from it. Its red nose sniffed the air to capture their smell. Just as it was prepared to once again chase after them, suddenly, it looked at the sea.

    There... more prey seemed to have appeared. Instantly, the rabbit became excited.

    Chapter 227: The Legendary Fangirl

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the snow tundra, Chen Feng and Xiao Rou were already far away from their initial position. After their experience with that huge rabbit, they were now extremely cautious. Chen Feng did not dare to ck off at all and kept his Luck Aura ¨C rmpletely activated at all times.

    Somewhere a distance away from them, an ant stepped on an elephant, killing it.

    Ah.

    That¡¯s right.

    With a dumbstruck expression, Chen Feng was witnessing this scene where an ant stepped on an elephant to kill it. Apparently, 20% of the life forms here had a powerful yet bizarre mutated ability: Magnification. As for the remaining 80% of the life forms here, they were the food of the 20%.

    Hence...

    Enormous rabbit.

    Enormous ant.

    Enormous mantis...

    This was an extremely dangerous ce.

    Every single mutated beast here had an extreme growth in their strength. The weakest of them were at D ss, while the mostmonly seen beasts here were at C ss. Those who were slightly more powerful than the rest were those at B ss like the rabbit earlier. They were all extremely terrifying.

    As for higher-ranked beasts?

    Chen Feng had yet to meet one of them. It was also his wish that he would not get the opportunity to meet one.

    Shua!

    Noiselessly, both of them travelled forth.

    Suddenly.

    His luck value reduced by two points.

    One point was exhausted when an unknown enemy was detected, and an extra one point was exhausted to lock onto the enemy. After the location of that enormous enemy was detected, Chen Feng easily avoided that ce.

    This was a ce that was actually much more dangerous than they had imagined.

    Chen Feng looked at Xiao Rou. "Do you regret this?" This youngdy¡¯s initial excitement was now nowhere to be seen.

    "No." She shook her head firmly and said with a solemn tone, "The more dangerous it is, the more I want to save him! This is my promise to him! This is also what my stubbornness deems necessary to do!"

    Promise...

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

    That did not sound like some normal fangirl.

    Was it something this youngdy had decided upon by herself, or had this Qin Hai fellow, with his fans...

    Mhm.

    It was a topic worth further research. He definitely had to ask Qin Hai about this when they met.

    Chen Feng stopped his mind from working overtime as a busybody as he stared ahead.

    Snow was still everywhere, with unknown crisis hidden everywhere as well.

    "This is the next location." Xiao Rou took out another drawing. It was actually a guide map.

    Mhm.

    It looked like one of those game maps for an online game he had yed in his previous life.

    "Here, here..." Xiao Rou had a stern expression. "Traveling along the straight line here, we can reach that ce faster. We will definitely arrive before the others."

    Chen Feng nodded. "All right."

    Once again, they set off.

    At this unusual ce, with the help of Luck Aura and the guidance of the map, they reached the depths of the snow tundra at an extremely fast speed.

    Surprisingly, Lei Hao¡¯s group had also reached at the same time as well.

    "They should possess some sort of scouting abilities as well," Chen Feng guessed.

    Shua!

    They concealed their bodies and noiselessly trailed Lei Hao¡¯s group.

    Within this snow tundra, one¡¯s sense of awareness was reduced greatly. Hence, Lei Hao¡¯s group did not notice them. They climbed up the snow mountain in front of them, and there they finally saw Qin Hai!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Dazzling lightning coiled around.

    At the summit of the snow mountain, amidst the wind and snow, Qin Hai¡¯s snow-covered body could be seen.

    His body was being bombared by gusts of terrifying power while, at the same time, a bizarre glow flickered without stop on his body as well. Every time that terrifying power descended upon him, his body would tremble slightly, akin to someone resisting an extremely powerful shock.

    At this instant, Xiao Rou¡¯s eyes concentrated. "Qin Hai..."

    "Don¡¯t be in a rush." Chen Feng held her back. They had already been waiting all this while; it wouldn¡¯t hurt to wait a bit longer.

    What was important currently was to think of a way to deal with Lei Hao¡¯s group. Or, perhaps, to think of a method to rescue Qin Hai right before all these experts here.

    Chen Feng¡¯s mind started working rapidly.

    Lei Hao...

    Lei Ming...

    With his brain working rapidly, he started analyzing their strength.

    Meeting them with force? That was simply impossible. Even Chen Feng and Xiao Roubined would not survive a single casual attack by Lei Hao.

    Hence...

    Only one method remained.

    Stealing Qin Hai from them!

    To take Qin Hai away with the fastest speed they could muster before subsequently leaving this ce. As long as they reached the frozen sea, the hunter and hunted might be reversed.

    That¡¯s feasible! Chen Feng thought.

    Despite the probability of that seeding being very low, with his fully activated Luck Aura...

    Suddenly, Xiao Rou said, "He can¡¯t be moved."

    What?

    Chen Feng nked.

    Xiao Rou¡¯s gentle gazended on Qin Hai. "Qin Hai is breaking through. He can¡¯t be moved."

    Can¡¯t be moved...

    Chen Feng followed her gaze and, with astonishment, noticed the flickeringyer of light surrounding Qin Hai. He was currently in a breakthrough mode!

    What was there for him to break through? With all his potential exhausted, there was still something in his body to break through?

    Chen Feng was amazed.

    Perhaps... he has truly found his own path!

    Wait.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng recalled something. If Qin Hai wasn¡¯t in any danger and was instead breaking through here, all that "Qin Hai rescue mission" and "drawing"¡ªall that was simply here to bring him trouble?

    God knows!

    Without all that, it was very probable that Qin Hai would have been able to break through in peace!

    "Even if this is a danger he took upon himself to break through, it doesn¡¯t mean that this is not a substantial danger." Xiao Rou shook her head. "Sister Xiao Yue¡¯s analyses will never be wrong."

    Chen Feng shrugged. "Fine."

    However, if Qin Hai couldn¡¯t be moved, things would truly be troublesome now. They could wait for him. However, the same did not apply for Lei Hao¡¯s group.

    Indeed.

    They merely stared at him coldly before proceeding to walk toward him.

    Their target was the Spirit Sea wood.

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze sharpened. "They must be stopped!"

    His target was also the Spirit Sea wood. However, he had to rescue Qin Hai as well.

    Perhaps, Luck Aura...

    Chen Feng was about to activate his Luck Aura. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a feminine shout resounded as Lady Xiao Rou charged forth toward them: "Stop!"

    Xiao Rou blocked in front of Qin Hai.

    Xiao Rou stood there with a lightning-filled sky as her backdrop. This was quite an astonishing scene.

    Lady Xiao Rou...

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

    Would this youngdy be so stupid as to show herself just to die?

    Obviously not.

    If Chen Feng¡¯s guess was correct...

    "It¡¯s you." Lei Ming was pleasantly surprised. "You both are actually brave enough to show yourself just to throw your life away?"

    "Interesting." A smile appeared on Lei Hao¡¯s face. When they had been looking for Chen Feng previously, they hadn¡¯t been able to find him. Now, without even looking, Chen Feng was here. The sole surviving B-ss warrior of the group was staring at them with a toying expression. This was not the frozen sea. Hence, Chen Feng could only die once he showed himself here.

    "If you want to touch Qin Hai, you have to step over my corpse," Xiao Rou said coldly.

    That frail looking silhouette of hers appeared iparably calm.

    Lei Ming licked his dry lips. "It would be a pity to kill such a beautiful sister here."

    "Ah." Xiao Rou shook her head and looked at him, pity in her eyes. "Even now, you are still so stupid. Seems like you will be keeping the ¡®Lei family¡¯s biggest idiot¡¯ nickname forever."

    The expressions of Lei Hao¡¯s group changed greatly. "Who are you?"

    Lei family?

    Biggest idiot?

    How had an outsider like her found out about this nickname?

    "Zuo Xiao Rou," Xiao Rou said indifferently.

    "It¡¯s you?!" Lei Ming cried out in rm.

    This was a name he was simply too familiar with. Even if he had never met her, this was still a name he would hear frequently in their organization. This was because this name was simply a legend among their generation!

    The record holder of the highest mission sess rate in their organization!

    A world shaking genius of the Zuo family!

    Challenging those in B ss at the young age of 18!

    Etc.

    All sorts of rumors surrounded her.

    With the frail body of a youngdy, she had aplished a lot of feats even those geniuses the organization had painstakingly nurtured couldn¡¯t aplish, bing a legend!

    Why had such a person appeared here?

    "That is because," Xuo Xiao Rou looked at the silhouette among the purgatory as a smile appeared on her face, "I am his fangirl."

 Chapter 228: Betrayal!

    Chapter 228: Betrayal!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At a certain location, a member of a certain organization had just returned to the base from his mission. When he opened the door, he was stunned by the stench of blood that assailed his nostrils.

    Blood was everywhere inside.

    "What happened?"

    He looked at that scene in rm.

    Blood...

    Blood everywhere!

    In that huge base, not a single living person remained.

    All of them were dead!

    He hastily yed the surveince video. In the video, a youngdy could be seen. Gracefully, she walked out the base. Behind her, light swirled around as the whole base seemed to crumble and the countless people within turned into a mist of blood.

    That person was Zuo Xiao Rou!

    "It¡¯s her." He slumped onto the ground powerlessly. If it was her, this was quite a possible feat. However, the reason she had done this was unknown...

    Pain stered on his face, he contacted headquarters.

    "The 931st base has perished. Core member Zuo Xiao Rou is now a traitor."

    The overcast voice echoed in the empty base. The ground was bathed in blood, painting the base with a horrifying appearance.

    **

    At the snow tundra.

    Fangirl...

    Lei Ming¡¯s mouth twitched.

    You, an existence akin to a freak, is a fangirl of Qin Hai? Who are you kidding?

    "Why?" that B-ss gic warrior asked. "Give me a good reason why you betrayed us."

    "Reason?" Xuo Xiao Rou smiled. "Is there a need for that?"

    "Reason!" That guy¡¯s tone of voice was unprecedentedly solemn. From his body, Zuo Xiao Rou could feel an intense pressure that she couldn¡¯t even feel from Lei Hao.

    This guy...

    "Previously, the Zuo family had a marriage arrangement with the Qin family," Zuo Xiao Rou said indifferently.

    That guy sighed. "So that¡¯s the case."

    The Qin family was a family hovering at the edge of bing an outer member of that mysterious organization. Due to the dark freak project and the Qin family¡¯s attitude, it was ultimately decided that they should be epted into the mysterious organization.

    Arranged marriage would be the best way to get them onboard.

    Hence, after a round of filtering, the Zuo family was ultimately chosen for it.

    Three years ago, the Qin family and Zuo family officially arranged a marriage between them.

    As far as they were concerned, this was simply amand to be obeyed.

    However, for Zuo Xiao Rou, the only girl in the Zuo family, for this girl who had been living her whole life amidst massacre and darkness, this was an extremely big deal.

    That was also the first time she started to truly pay attention to the things that were happening outside their organization.

    Ah...

    So that¡¯s Qin Hai?

    Ah...

    So this is what a celebrity producer looks like?

    Ah...

    He¡¯s so impressive? Haha, so he is also a well-known figure of the other side?

    Ah...

    So, this is my future husband?

    A sprout of romance was thus nted in her heart.

    Thereupon, she started finding out more and more about Qin Hai. She also started paying attention to the affairs pertaining to Qin Hai, bing a unique existence among the fangirls of Qin Hai.

    These three years were the happiest years of her life, as she had suddenly found meaning to her existence.

    Perhaps...

    It was truly possible for her to be a wife, living an ordinary life? However, suddenly, everything seemed to disappear.

    The Qin family was no more. They lost their foundation. All her dreams seemed to copse. Hence, she killed her way out of the organization. She wanted to rescue Qin Hai! She wanted to be by his side!

    The organization?

    Their nurture?

    Affection toward them?

    All these were nonexistent.

    There were simply too many existences like her in the organization. They were nurtured like tools, being built in order to increase the organization¡¯s power. However, due to this, they did not have any sense of belonging to the organization.

    After all... they were merely tools of the organization.

    The organization did not need her. However, Qin Hai needed her. Hence, she was here.

    That¡¯s how simple it was.

    By her side, Chen Feng was stupefied. So this stupid lovesick girl here was Qin Hai¡¯s fianc¨¦e? And she was even a core member of the mysterious organization?

    This... how melodramatic!

    "Sorry." Zuo Xiao Rou smiled at Chen Feng. "After all, if I had been honest, you might not have brought me along."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    What nonsense was that? Who would be at ease bringing an assassin around? Moreover, even if Lei Ming was not taken into the consideration, there was still that B ss guy and the A ss Lei Hao. These two were the most dangerous people here! Would Lady Xiao Rou be able to deal with them?

    Hu¡ª

    Chen Feng exhaled deeply.

    He readied his Luck Aura, preparing to erupt at any moment.

    And now, finally, Lei Ming seemed to have realized what had happened.

    "You betrayed the organization?" He widened his eyes. "Do you know what¡¯s going to happen to a person who has betrayed the organization? You..."

    "Shut up!" Lei Hao interrupted him before looking at Zuo Xiao Rou. "If you are here for Qin Hai, fine. You can take Qin Hai away."

    Lei Ming was dumbstruck. "Brother?"

    Taking him away? You are so easily scared? Aren¡¯t you an A-ss expert?

    "But..." Zuo Xiao Rou looked at the branch on Qin Hai¡¯s thigh. "It seems like he is still using that thing. How about we wait until he finishes breaking through before I bring him away?"

    Shua!

    Lei Hao¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Don¡¯t push it."

    Breaking through and tempering himself in such an environment was something that Qin Hai couldn¡¯t aplish with his strength alone. The only thing he could rely on was that Spirit Sea wood. Every single improvement he gained would be equivalent to an exhaustion of arge portion of the Spirit Sea wood¡¯s power.

    Waiting for him to finish his breakthrough?

    By then, how much of the Spirit Sea wood¡¯s power would remain?

    "Since that¡¯s the case, I can only kill you all," Lei Hao said coldly.

    Bang!

    Endless thunder started converging.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s hands started radiating as she calmly said, "Under normal circumstances, I naturally wouldn¡¯t dare to exchange blows with you. However, the current you has yet to recover from the injuries you suffered when chased by the Gic Union previously, right?"

    Lei Hai¡¯s expression was stern. "Is this something Xiao Yue told you?"

    Finally, he figured out the reason behind Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s highest mission sess rate. It was due to that Xiao Yue!

    With those drawings, before she even set off for the mission, she would have prepared thoroughly. This time, since Zuo Xiao Rou dared to bare her fangs before him, she ought to have prepared thoroughly as well! Since he was now greatly weakenedpared to his peak, he had to face this with all he had!

    "Little Ming, help me," Lei Hao said with a deep tone.

    "All right."

    Lei Ming did not dare to joke around at this time.

    Bang!

    The lightning gleamed as both brothers joined hands. They worked extremely well together as their power startedplementing each other, increasing theirbat power greatly.

    "Kill!"

    Lei Ming¡¯s attack streaked forth.

    However, the moment his attack was unleashed, without him realizing it, his body started floating. The attack that was originally aimed straight at Zuo Xiao Roupletely missed.

    As for Lei Hao, his body instantly felt like Mount Tai was crushing down on him, with the weight pushing him to the point his legs sunk into the ground.

    This was Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s power! An extremely powerful secret art formed through four different gic abilities: Gravity Control. Within her world, she could freely control gravity.

    "Unregted Gravity ¨C Grinder!" Zuo Xiao Rou said coldly.

    Bang!

    The expression of the Lei brothers started warping.

    Tenfold gravity? Reverse gravity? These were nothingpared to a totally irregr gravity. Only an irregr gravity would bring the highest amount of pain. One would never know the amount of pressure each part of their body or their organs was subjected to!

    Moreover... this gravity was changing without stop!

    Lei Hao locked his gaze onto Zuo Xiao Rou.

    Although his power wasn¡¯t much, he was, after all, still in A ss. Only a single opportunity was required. A single move would be sufficient for him to kill Zuo Xiao Rou! As long as his attacknded on Zuo Xiao Rou, he would be victorious!

    However, how would Zuo Xiao Rou give him this chance?

    "Unregted Gravity ¨C Guard!"

    Bang!

    Ayer of incorporeal shield appeared in front of Zuo Xiao Rou.

    By himself, Lei Ming was unable to prate the shield. As for Lei Hao, despite his attack being powerful enough to prate it, after it went through theyer of unregted gravity that formed the shield, his attack¡¯s trajectory was skewed, missing Zuo Xiao Rou!

    They simply couldn¡¯t hit her.

    "Is this all?" Zuo Xiao Rou said.

    Bang!

    An extrayer of gravity emerged.

    Pu!

    Lei Hao started vomiting blood, hatred apparent in his eyes.

    If his Verbal Compliance Law was still avable to him, he could definitely have killed Zuo Xiao Rou easily. A mere C ss, even if the C ss in question could skip sses to battle those of a higher rank, would still not be a match for him!

    But now... he had to rely on Lei Ming to even have a chance of protecting his body.

    Hum¡ª

    Lei Ming¡¯s aura was gleaming unceasingly. The only thing he could do was counteract the pressure exerted on them by Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s gravity. Arge portion of it was counteracted. However, the remaining pressure that he did not manage to counteract was still sufficient to subject them to extreme displeasure. All the different organs in his body seemed to be stretching andpressing at a different intensity, causing him immense pain.

    The change of force exerted by the unregted gravity was simply too rapid. He simply couldn¡¯t keep up with the changes. The saddest part about all this was the fact that he was a C ss just like her. However, he suddenly found that, in this battle, he was simply incapable of doing much.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Zuo Xiao Rou had actually gained the advantage despite fighting alone against the two of them. "Trash."

    By now, the B-ss warrior beside them seemed impatient. A blue light flickered in his profound-looking eyes as he said, "Let¡¯s end this. We should stop wasting time."

    Shua!

    He took a step forward, light swirling around him.

    However, outside of his expectations, just as he was about to make his move, a silhouette appeared before him. It was actually Chen Feng, the person he found insignificant! A mere D-ss gene producer!

    He was quite surprised. "It¡¯s you."

    Chen Feng, a D-ss gic warrior that was capable of forcefully facing a C-ss warrior due to his unique Energy Equipment. However, that was as far as he could go. Before a true B-ss warrior, he simply stood no chance.

    Chen Feng had a solemn expression. "It¡¯s me."

    He was aware that he was not strong enough for this. However, at times like this, he could only put his life on the line. With the full eruption of his Energy Equipment, unlimited Wind des, aurora gene reagent, and Luck Aura, all these trump cards of his would be able to drag this out, right?

    He only needed tost long enough for Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s victory and it would be sufficient!

    "Are you thinking of dragging this out?" With a single look, that guy guessed Chen Feng¡¯s intentions. "You are actually thinking of dragging it out when facing someone like me? How interesting..."

    Chen Feng frowned. What did that mean?

    That guy waved calmly. "Goodbye."

    Hum¡ª

    With a gentle flicker.

    Shua!

    The whole world before Chen Feng¡¯s eyes changed abruptly.

    Bang!

    The sky sunk and the ground crumbled.

    The whole world seemed topress without limit. The vast whiteness in front of him reduced until, ultimately, it turned into multiple stairways.

 Chapter 229: A Terrifying Ability

    Chapter 229: A Terrifying Ability

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Illusions?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped. He seemed to have arrived in a tunnel made of stairways. Under his feet, only those ice-cold gray stairs existed. Two flights of stairs were side by side, one leading upward while the other lead downward.

    At the two sides were pitch ck walls.

    A weird environment. Chen Feng tried touching the wall, and it felt odd on his hand. The only path avable to him was these stairs.

    What illusion was this?

    Chen Feng was curious. He tried breaking out of the illusion with his spiritual energy. However, it was ineffective.

    Ineffective?

    Suddenly, he remembered his Luck Aura. Luck Aura possessed a mystical ability to convert the data in the real world into a matter of probability. As such, it would be able to give him answers on matters where his judgment was required.

    Is this an illusion?

    Feedback received: No

    Looking at the one point of luck value that was consumed, Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted furiously. So this was not an illusion? This bizarre environment did not seem to be a digitized world either. What ce was this?

    Shua!

    He tried attacking the wall. It was ineffective.

    From these walls, a power only possessed by those in A ss could be felt. Such a defense was something even an A-ss warrior might have trouble against.

    What ce is this?

    Chen Feng was shocked.

    Is this some sort of cage for imprisonment?

    The ck house 1 ?

    Finally, Chen Feng¡¯s expression started changing.

    Even if he had to face a B-ss warrior head on, he would be fearless. If he couldn¡¯t defeat the opponent, he would still be able to slow the opponent down for a few seconds. However, this kind of ability that was odd and bizarre was what he feared most.

    Now, he had encountered one.

    He looked left and right¡ªonly endless darkness could be seen. In front of him, only the stairs could be seen.

    "If this is not an illusion..."

    Chen Feng deduced that this should be a mystical space. Hence, the ability of that B-ss gic warrior should be space rted. If this was a space created by that warrior, an entrance and exit had to exist!

    "I will know after walking around."

    Chen Feng had an unyielding expression.

    Shua!

    He started walking along the stairs.

    Since this was not an illusion, there was no worry that he would take a wrong step and fall to his death. Everything his eyes could see would be solid things that actually existed.

    He started walking down the stairs. However, the stairs seemed endless!

    After several minutes of nonstop walking, there was no sign of the stairs ending.

    Chen Feng was confused. One had to know that space creation was a feat that required a supply of energy. Therger the created space was, an amount of energy countless times greater than the one locked within needed to be created.

    As for that B ss? It was obvious that this was not something he could aplish.

    "Something feels weird."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    Continue!

    Once again, he walked down the stairs for 10 minutes. When he raised his head, what weed his sight was still the endless stairs.

    Have I been walking the wrong direction?

    Chen Feng frowned.

    Would things improve if he continued down? That did not seem possible. This was an independently built space. Hence, that person would definitely not ce Chen Feng near the entrance. Otherwise, Chen Feng could have easily left after walking several steps.

    As Chen Feng recalled the confident expression on that person¡¯s face, he was sure that there had to be a trick somewhere.

    What¡¯s the trick?

    Chen Feng walked up the stairs.

    After 10 minutes, he finally stopped.

    Space creation? Energy exhaustion?

    Nope.

    This was simply an endless space.

    He had walked at least several hundred steps of stairs, yet the end was nowhere to be seen. He was certain that if he were to continue on, the result would be the same. Such a space was something that did not exist in the real world. Only in illusions would it be possible for such a space to exist. However... this was obviously not an illusion either.

    "What¡¯s the trick?" Chen Feng muttered.

    Suddenly, he took out a bottle of spirit recovery reagent and ced it on the ground. Next, he rushed up the stairs. Just as he climbed up, he inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    That bottle of gene reagent he ced on the ground was right above him!

    On the same position!

    Could it be...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng realized the crux of the issue.

    Regardless of how many steps he walked, he would still be stuck on the same floor. This was actually an unending esctor!

    Illusion?

    Nope.

    This was not an illusion.

    "Penrose stairs..."

    Chen Feng was shaken.

    The Penrose stairs, or Penrose steps, also dubbed the impossible staircase, was an impossible object created by Lionel Penrose and his son Roger Penrose. A variation on the Penrose triangle, it was a two-dimensional depiction of a staircase in which the stairs made four 90-degree turns as they ascended or descended and yet formed a continuous loop, such that a person could climb them forever and never get any higher. In other words, this was an endless staircase.

    Theoretically, it was impossible for such a thing to appear in a three-dimensional world.

    But now, this concept that was impossible in his previous world had appeared in this world! Chen Feng had obviously been walking upward without stop, yet he was caught in an endless loop.

    This was an unsolvable loop!

    This was a predicament!

    This was a prison!

    "It¡¯s getting troublesome," Chen Feng muttered.

    Loop...

    Chen Feng was certain that this was an independent space.

    His opponent had first created an independent space before creating an endless loop in this space, making locating the entrance and exit an impossible feat.

    Wait...

    Chen Feng collected his thoughts.

    Endless loop?

    Creating an endless loop with the power of space?

    Warping space?

    Phasing through space?

    Impossible.

    This was simply not a power possessed by a B ss.

    Based on Chen Feng¡¯s understandings, only a top notch A-ss grandmaster of space whose gic abilities wereprised purely of space-rted abilities, who at the same time was also a person who had spent all his time on space research, would be able to have a chance at warping or phasing through space.

    An ability like this was extremely rare even among A-ss warriors!

    As for B ss? It was simply impossible.

    Moreover, if he only needed to casually create a space before setting an endless loop in it, why was there a need to use the Penrose stairs method? He could simply create a circle or a corridor or a jail cell¡ªthat would be sufficient.

    What was the point of taking this approach?

    The answer was simple. Due to the rules of space, all these were obviously feats he couldn¡¯t aplish.

    Chen Feng did not possess too deep an understanding toward the power of space. However, he was still aware of themon knowledge pertaining to space. For example, if one wanted to create a space, an entrance and exit were required.

    Even if an independent space akin to a heaven was created, an entrance and exit would be required. Granted, a lot of people used the same point as both the entrance and exit. However, at this ce, no entrance or exit could be found. Only the endless stairs were avable.

    Was that possible?

    That was simply impossible to be true.

    Hence, where were the entrance and exit?

    Chen Feng looked at the stairs above and below him. He was sure that the entrance and exit would be at either the lowest or highest point of the stairs, regardless of which side it was. As long as he reached the end of the stairs, he would be able to leave this ce. This was also the reason that such a profound set of endless stairs was ced here. It was put in ce to stop the prisoners from locating the entrance and exit.

    Hence, he only needed to reach the end?

    Chen Feng tried. However, regardless of where he went, the gene reagent was still there waiting for him. He was still walking on the same spot.

    "I¡¯m still at the same spot?"

    Suddenly, he smiled.

    Endless loop?

    Penrose stairs?

    What a joke.

    Since both the exit and entrance existed yet he was still at the same spot, only one possibility remained. His opponent had used some gic ability to give him an impression that he was actually moving.

    Coincidentally, Chen Feng knew of one such ability.

 Chapter 230: Bro, You Are Too Excessive!

    Chapter 230: Bro, You Are Too Excessive!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    On the same level, two flights of stairs heading toward different directions could be seen. One was heading upward while one was heading downward. Forming an endless loop, it ensured that after every flight of stairs Chen Feng climbed, the same bottle of gene reagent would wee him.

    Illusion?

    That was not possible. If this was truly an illusion, the mere act of spiritual energy eruption would have been sufficient to damage it, because an illusion by itself was something constructed with spiritual energy.

    Hence, this was not an illusion. All the things here were solid things that truly existed yet didn¡¯t give such an impression. Chen Feng started thinking. If he possessed space-rted abilities as well, would it be feasible for him to produce the same Penrose stairs?

    It was quite feasible.

    B ss, C ss, D ss, E ss, and F ss, a total of five gic abilities. Apart from one space-rted ability, one could still possess four other types of gic abilities.

    Space creation, space structuring, and space construction would require a secret art formed through at least three types of gic abilities. In other words, two more gic abilities were required to build the Penrose stairs. As long as these two gic abilities were capable of creating an endless loop, it would be sufficient.

    In fact, such abilities truly existed.

    For example: Mirror Image.

    A majority of endless loops were created using abilities that worked like the concept of mirrors. Even if the built path were something one couldn¡¯t walk on, what if mirrors were used to give an illusion of actual movement?

    For example, the stairways before him.

    On this level, two flights of stairs were avable. What if one of them was an actual flight of stairs while the other flight of stairs was forged using mirror-image-rted abilities to give one an illusion that it was an actual path that led somewhere else, when in truth, it led back to the same ce?

    This would be an endless flight of stairs. If he were to climb the first flight the stairs, the next flight of stairs would be an imitated flight of stairs formed by the mirror-image ability that led him back to the same position.

    This was a mirror imitation.

    Using the mirror rted ability to create a flight of stairs that looked the same, yet every aspect of it, such as gravity or vision, were opposite of the actual flight of stairs. That was the reason he had not noticed any abnormalities when traveling on the stairs. He had no idea how that guy had done this or what the gic abilities used were, but it was very probable his deductions were correct.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Let me give it a try."

    Shua!

    He stepped forth.

    If his guess was correct...

    He now stood at the middle of the two flights of stairs. Since he had already guessed how this worked, it would be much easier to deal with this.

    He stretched his hand out. The mirror image ability could not be seen nor felt. However, the only thing that felt different was the temperature.

    Shua!

    An endless cold aura was released from Chen Feng¡¯s hand. Unlimited Wind des erupted.

    Ka!

    Ka!

    Before him, at the spot that was supposed to be empty, ayer of frost appeared.

    "It appeared!"

    Chen Feng stirred. He was indeed correct!

    Then, time to end this!

    Bang!

    Chen Feng shook his hand, shattering theyer of frost.

    Instantly, the endless loop stopped. Chen Feng climbed up the stairs. There, a faint white radiance was shimmering. That was the exit to the real world.

    In an independent space like this, the flow of time was obviously different. Chen Feng was certain that in the real world, not long had passed.

    Currently, at the summit of the snow mountain, Zuo Xiao Rou was looking at that B-ss gic warrior with an inconceivable expression. "Who are you?!"

    Chen Feng had disappeared. She had noticed Chen Feng making his move earlier. With his strength, he would be able tost at least several seconds against his opponent. These several seconds would be sufficient for her victory. However, Chen Feng had actually disappeared instantly!

    Such strength...

    "Me?" That person smiled. "The others nicknamed me Schr."

    "It¡¯s you!" Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    Schr! An extremely terrifying person from the organization. He was only in B ss, yet nobody dared to look down on him. His formidable space-control abilities and his self-created space secret art was sufficient to cause others to tremble in fear.

    This was an extremely scary enemy. So far, the enemies that had been banished away by him had never sessfully returned.

    Chen Feng...

    Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s heart chilled. She had probably brought disaster to Chen Feng this time.

    Sorry.

    She sighed.

    It seemed like she couldn¡¯t continue this battle anymore. She could still deal with the Lei brothers with some difficulty. However, if Schr joined hands with them, she had zero confidence in her victory. She nced at the Qin Hai that was still in the midst of breakthrough...

    Seemed like she could only do what Chen Feng had said to earlier: take Qin Hai away forcefully.

    However, if she did that, the sliver of hope for breakthrough that Qin Hai had painstakingly sought after would be lost!

    Zuo Xiao Rou clenched her teeth. Forget it.

    At this moment, Schr¡¯s cold gaze was locked onto her. A formidable power of space was bubbling up around him. He was about to make his move!

    Escape!

    Zuo Xiao Rou charged toward Qin Hai.

    Reverse Gravity!

    Hum¡ª

    With her speed increased, she reached Qin Hai instantly. However, just as she was about to grab onto Qin Hai, a terrifying power bloomed in front of her. Lei Hao had charged forth to obstruct her.

    Lei Haoughed malevolently. "nning to leave just like that?"

    Bang!

    A formidable power swirled around his body.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    With two punches, Zuo Xiao Rou was pushed back.

    Lei Hao sneered. "Even if I don¡¯t have much of my strength left, I can still stop you!"

    "Ah." A smile appeared on Schr¡¯s face as his power of space locked onto Zuo Xiao Rou. "Goodbye, then."

    Hum¡ª

    A formidable power bloomed.

    However, right at this moment, space cracked and a silhouette appeared out of it. That silhouette was in front of Zuo Xiao Rou, seemingly taking on Schr¡¯s attack for her. However, it vanished without a trace the next instant. Instead of vanishing like she was supposed to, Zuo Xiao Rou remained in the same spot.

    ??

    Schr nked.

    What happened?

    He could vaguely see a phantom appearing out of nowhere to block his attack on Zuo Xiao Rou.

    Schr frowned. "A body substitution ability?"

    It was rumored that such a secret art indeed existed. It was able to take on a single fatal attack on behalf of the user. However, it was an ability that could only be used once in a certain short duration of time.

    "Let me attack one more time, then."

    Shua!

    Once again, Schr made his move.

    However.

    At this instant.

    Bang!

    The space cracked, and once again, that silhouette blocked in front of Zuo Xiao Rou to take on the attack.

    Shua!

    The silhouette vanished.

    Zuo Xiao Rou was still safe and sound.

    ???

    Schr was dumbstruck. What was going on?!

    How could a body-substituting ability be used twice in a row? Perhaps Zuo Xiao Rou possessed some sort of power on her that could block his space secret art?

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Once again, Schr attacked.

    However...

    The silhouette flickered in and out of existence without stop.

    Every single time he attacked, that silhouette would appear.

    This seemingly undefeated secret art of Schr¡¯s was now rendered ineffective.

    How was this possible?!

    Schr did not dare to believe this. What kind of freak was this Zuo Xiao Rou to be immune to his attack? This was the strongest secret art he had!

    "I refuse to believe this!" Schr howled.

    He had never encountered such a situation.

    Even those A-ss super experts would be trapped by his ability. Granted, they would be able to break out with brute force the next instant; however, they would still be momentarily trapped.

    As for Zuo Xiao Rou, she waspletely immune.

    How could this be?

    Shua!

    He attacked once again. However, his expression changed greatly as he attempted to attack. That was because he had rmingly found that all his energy was exhausted. The remaining energy he had was not sufficient to support an activation of his secret art.

    How could this be?

    Schr copsed. Not a single attack of his had seeded!

    Theoretically, an attack that failed tounch should not be consuming his energy!

    This was a space secret art!

    Only when his opponent was thrown into the created space would the space and endless loop be constructed. If he did not evenplete the act of throwing his opponent into the space, why had his energy been exhausted?

    At the same time.

    Bang!

    The space cracked. Once again, that silhouette appeared.

    This time, Schr finally got a good look at the silhouette and cried out in rm. "It¡¯s you?"

    That silhouette was Chen Feng!

    Chen Feng stared at him with a ridiculous expression. "Of course it¡¯s me."

    Godamnit. The moment I came out, you throw me in again. Every single time I came out, you throw me back in there. This is too excessive!

    "Bro... even if I had indeed broken out of your 5-star secret art, you don¡¯t need to hate me so much, right? Throwing me into that space repeatedly is quite pointless, right? Since I can break out of it once, the subsequent times are even easier to me. Aren¡¯t you worried that your energy will be exhausted if you keep spamming the skill on me?"

    Evidently, Chen Feng was extremely displeased.

    Schr was dumbstruck. "I..."

    How was I supposed to know it was you?

    Not a trace of calm remained on his face. What kind of person was this?

    So the undefeated 5-star secret art of his was broken by a D-ss gic warrior who was also a producer with weakbat power?

    Repeatedly?

    Crazy!

    The world had gone crazy!

    Schr copsed emotionally. When had producers became so powerful?

    Bang!

    Unregted Gravity!

    Taking the opportunity, Zuo Xiao Rou instantly erupted.

    The Lei brothers and Schr was immediately sunk into a disadvantageous position. Since they did not have much energy remaining, they couldn¡¯t even move. Instead, they could only suffer under the irregr gravity force exerted onto them.

    "Let¡¯s end this."

    The terrifying power of gravity descended upon them.

    Bang!

    A loud explosion.

    However.

    Unexpectedly, a powerful and terrifying power, at this instant, suddenly erupted to block Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s attack, erasing the irregr gravity applied on them in the process.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The terrifying power bloomed while an astonishing power surged.

    Shua!

    The calm silhouette of Lei Hao appeared as he walked out one step at a time. From his hand, an empty gene reagent bottle was tossed away. A smallbel could be seen on it.

    ----

    Shua!

    Lei Hao walked forth.

    The terrifying pressure belonging to an A-ss bloomed.

    "Idiotic kids... did you all truly believe that I woulde to such a dangerous ce with this injured body without any sort of preparations? This is what you forced me to do... Initially, I didn¡¯t wish to use this," Lei Hao¡¯s cold voice echoed.

    Not good!

    Chen Feng and Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s expressions changed greatly. Lei Hao had recovered!

    A ss!

    All those abilities such as Unregted Gravity or the space secret art were simply a joke in front of an A-ss Lei Hao. They were simply in a different league.

    The only thing they had been relying on previously was Lei Hao¡¯s serious injuries that were limiting him from unleashing his true power, but now, when he erupted with his true power...

    Luck Aura, activate!

    Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Feng unleashed all his power.

    Seek a lifeline! Chen Feng urged inwardly.

    Shua!

    Luck Aura¡¯s feedback: Arge scale altering of reality will be required; unable to estimate luck value consumption.

    "Use them all, then!"

    Chen Feng did not hesitate.

    Shua!

    Luck Aura erupted at full power.

    Altering reality had always been something Chen Feng did not dare to do due to the huge consumption of luck value. Even getting three pineapples out of a slot machine required five points of luck value. Even when he altered reality with the help of Spirit Sea wood previously, 10 points of luck value had still been exhausted.

    This time, with 1,000 points of luck value, he needed to alter reality so that they could be saved from their current predicament.

    Would it be sufficient?

    He had no idea.

    Shua!

    Instantly, his luck value was exhausted.

    Hum¡ª

    A bizarre power seemed to disperse around him. However, nothing seemed to happen.

    The Lei Hao in front of him was still there, surrounded by a powerful torrent of energy, akin to a demonic god.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Two A-ss attacks shot forth.

    Pu!

    Zuo Xiao Rou and Chen Feng were both flung away.

    They suffered serious injuries from that one attack.

    This was simply a confrontation between those in different leagues!

    No secret art was required. A mere normal A-ss attack was something Chen Feng and Zuo Xiao Rou couldn¡¯t handle.

    Shua.

    Once again, Lei Hao raised his hand.

    "Sorry," Zuo Xiao Rou said to Chen Feng.

    She initially believed that she would be able to rescue Qin Hai. However, not only had she failed to save Qin Hai, she had implicated Chen Feng in the process as well.

    "This is still not the time for you to be sorry."

    "Ah?" Zuo Xiao Rou nked. They were going to die the next moment, yet this was still not the time?

    Bang!

    The powerful attack of Lei Hao¡¯s descended upon them.

    Chen Feng ignored the attack and paid close attention to his surroundings.

    Luck Aura would definitely work, right?

    Even if arge-scale altering of reality was required, even if they were in such an impasse; however, 1,000 luck value had been exhausted! It should disy some effect, right?

    Even if only a sliver of lifeline was given to them!

    Show yourself! Hope! Chen Feng roared inwardly.

    It was at this instant that, suddenly, a bizarre wave of light started glinting. From the other side of the snow mountain¡¯s summit, where they couldn¡¯t see, it started rushing toward them.

    Shua!

    It happened instantly. The light wave swept past them. At that, all the energy around them was instantly estinguished. That terrifying attack from Lei Hao that was nearing Chen Feng and Zuo Xiao Rou was erased.

    That light wave... actually possessed the power to erase all energy!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The light wave washed over them without stop. Apart from the energy that was out in the air, all other energy was erased as well.

    Chen Feng¡¯s Wind des...

    Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s gravity...

    Schr¡¯s space...

    Everything became nonexistent.

    At this moment, they all turned into ordinary people.

    "What happened?"

    Lei Hao was rmed.

    He was an A-ss gic warrior!

    He was currently at his peak condition! What damnable power was this for it to transform him into an ordinary person directly? For him to be defenseless against it?

    That was impossible! How could such a power exist in this world?

    "This is impossible!" Lei Hao howled.

    At the same time.

    Distantly, fanatical cheers could be heard.

    "We seeded!"

    "Haha."

    "Finally, he seeded. Our Long family will rise in power!"

    Fanatical voices filled with excitement could be heard.

    They raised their heads. From the other side of the snow mountain¡¯s summit, along with the steady sound of footsteps, those silhouettes approached and finally appeared in their field of vision.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    A group of people in ck robes appeared in an orderly fashion.

    Their expressions were solemn and respectful, while from their gaze, excitement and surging emotions could be seen.

    They were those from the Long family. Leading them was Long Yue.

    The most surprising sight was the fact that on the shoulders of these ck-robed people was an enormous skull. Several tens of them were required to carry a single skull.

    Hum¡ª

    A terrifying light was radiating out of the skull.

    It appeared that the mysterious energy-erasing power that appeared earlier had originated from this skull.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The ck-robed men marched forth in an orderly fashion.

    Their silhouettes became somewhat illusionary, seemingly blending into their ck robes, a gush of formidable yet mysterious power bubbling up within their body.

    "Who are you?" Lei Hao asked with an unsightly expression.

    "Bloodlines of the Long family," Long Yue replied coldly. "Descendants of the dragon."

    Dragon?

    Abruptly, Lei Hao¡¯s gazended on the skull.

    That shape...

    That huge skull greatly resembled the dragon from the legends.

    "This is the bloodline of the dragon!" Long Yue appeared fanatical. "Hahaha. Even if only a sliver of it is left, as long as we sessfully extract it out, our Long family will rise! We... will certainly be the strongest family! Hahahaha!" Long Yueughed crazily.

    They could clearly feel the increase in their strength. After awakening the power concealed within the skull, this ce was now their home ground!

    As for Lei Hao? Chen Feng?

    They couldn¡¯t be bothered with these people.

    "Thest portion of the dragon¡¯s bone..."

    They had been following the trail that had ultimately led them to Qin Hai.

    "It¡¯s here!" Long Yue said with a deep tone.

    The final portion of the skull was beneath Qin Hai.

    "Retrieve it," Long Yue barked coldly.

    "Yes." Several ck-robed people walked out.

    Lei Hao¡¯s gaze was cold. "You dare?!"

    Since when did a bunch of C-ss warriors start having the guts to be so unbridled before him? How was it possible for him to allow them to take Qin Hai away in front of him?

    "I¡¯m not interested in dealing with you now." Long Yue looked at him. "I know you are strong. However, without any energy, you are akin to trash."

    Lei Haoughed. "Trash... Hahaha, trash! Hahaha! Even without energy! Even if I were to use only my physical flesh, the power of an A-ss warrior is not something weaklings like you can understand!"

    Bang!

    The power of his body surged.

    "You want a fight? Come!" Lei Hao was raging. He¡¯d had enough of being insulted by these weaklings!

    Forget about Chen Feng. Even this Long guy here was doing the same thing? One look was enough to know that these were simply brainwashed cult members! How could an A-ss gic warrior like him swallow this insult?

    Bang!

    He punched out.

    Was the physical body of an A-ss warrior powerful?

    It was!

    At the very least, it was much more powerfulpared to a B-ss warrior. This was especially true for Lei Hao. Being a member of the mysterious organization, the power of his physical body had also undergone an enhancement previously.

    However...

    "Idiot." Long Yue merely looked at him coldly. Competing in physical body against us from the Long family?

    Howl!

    With a loud howl, two ck-robed men charged forth and blocked the path in front Long Yue.

    ng!

    Lei Hao felt like he had punched something akin to an iron bastion.

    How is that possible...

    Lei Hao¡¯s expression changed greatly. When he wanted to withdraw his hand, he found that he couldn¡¯t move his hand.

    Pa!

    With a kick by Long Yue, Lei Hao fell on the ground. Next, Long Yue stepped on him.

    Long Yue sneered. "A ss?"

    "Hehe."

    The two ck-robed men took off their robes to expose the firm flesh beneath. At this moment, that flesh filled with a sense of explosiveness bloomed with a terrifying radiance.

    Long family¡¯s bloodline.

    ss: Peak C ss

    Strength: 10,000 points

    Physique: 10,000 points

    Gic ability: A full flush of body-enhancing abilities.

    This was the terrifying aspect of the Long family. All their gic abilities were body rted. The pure power their flesh could unleash was astonishingly dreadful.

    At this ce where all sorts of energy were blocked, they were simply undefeated.

    Go!

    Finally, Lei Hao smartened up and decided that it was simply too stupid to fight these people here. He should take the opportunity to escape while the duration for his peak condition was still active.

    "Scram!" Lei Hao bellowed.

    Bang!

    He unleashed all the power within his body.

    The power that erupted from him was immediately erased by the skull. However, that instantaneous eruption was sufficient for him to break free from those of the Long family right before his power was erased.

    Shua!

    With a flicker, he dragged Lei Ming and Schr and left hastily. This was not somewhere they could stay.

    However...

    Before leaving, he gave that ce a deep gaze.

    Chen Feng...

    Long Yue...

    Zuo Xiao Rou...

    He would definitely avenge the humiliation he¡¯d received here.

    An A-ss expert like him had to first flee Chen Feng before being beaten up by Zuo Xiao Rou. Next, when he¡¯d finally recovered to his peak condition, he¡¯d been stepped on by that Long family.

    He would etch this humiliation into his mind.

    I shall have my revenge...

    His silhouette vanished.

 Chapter 232: The Unrivaled Qin Hai

    Chapter 232: The Unrivaled Qin Hai

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Lei Hao had fled.

    Next, the cold gazes of those from the Long familynded on Chen Feng and Zuo Xiao Rou.

    "We are leaving soon." Without a change in expression, Chen Feng dragged Zuo Xiao Rou as he retreated.

    Long Yue¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Chen Feng..."

    He still remembered his grudge from the previous incident, where he¡¯d lost an arm. However, he was clear on his current role as a representative of the Long family. Presently, they had a different priority.

    They should first extract the dragon¡¯s blood before looking for Chen Feng to settle their score.

    He shifted his gaze toward the summit of the snow mountain.

    There, that youth was seated cross legged with countless lightning bombarding him. He seemed to be making use of this lightning to temper his body and break through his limit.

    "The dragon¡¯s bone beneath him is attracting the lightning." Long Yue was certain. "He is thinking of using this method to absorb the dragon¡¯s power. How ridiculous. He is actually thinking of stealing the power belonging to our bloodline? Kill him!"

    Howl!

    Several ck-robed people charged toward the rain of lightning.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Several terrifying bolts of lightning descended on them. Their bodies trembled from the bombardment. However, they were able to quickly stabilize their body. Step by step, they resolutely walked toward Qin Hai. Finally, their handsnded on Qin Hai.

    Shua!

    Qin Hai trembled lightly.

    "Die."

    They increased their force.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. "Something is going to happen!"

    A thousand points of luck value were only sufficient to chase Lei Hao away and save him and Zuo Xiao Rou from their impeding death. However, it was not sufficient to do anything to help the Qin Hai that was currently amidst the lightning.

    However, at this moment, with a flickering shimmer, a terrifying power soared. Those ck-robed people who possessed terrifying physical body were immediately flung away.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Loudly, theynded on the ground, like three sandbags.

    What?

    Long Yue was rmed.

    The eyes of Chen Feng and Zuo Xiao Rou shone.

    Amidst the lightning, that silhouette that had remained seated all this while had finally stood up. From that ordinary-looking body, a power that caused one¡¯s heart to palpitate could be felt.

    That was Qin Hai!

    That power they felt was the pure and unadulterated power of a physical body!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "Qin Hai is finally awake?"

    Shua!

    Apanied by a resplendent radiance, Qin Hai¡¯s eyes slowly opened. His sharp gaze swept through the group of ck-robed people before stopping at Zuo Xiao Rou.

    Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s emotions surged. "Qin Hai..."

    He woke up!

    Qin Hai has awaken at the crucial moment! Everything was worth it!

    "Qin Hai..." Zuo Xiao Rou looked at this person that had captivated her soul. However, Qin Hai¡¯s calm gaze merely swept past her beforending on Chen Feng by her side.

    Qin Hai nodded. "Thanks."

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s mouth. "You are too polite."

    It was good that Qin Hai had finally awakened.

    "Ah?" Zuo Xiao Rou was somewhat stupefied.

    Finally, she recalled a very scary fact: Qin Hai did not know her.

    Regardless of how heavy an emphasis she ced on Qin Hai, regardless of the fact that she had been ustomed to treating Qin Hai as her goal, the fact remained that Qin Hai did not know her!

    At most, he would have only heard of her name. That was all.

    This was a crucial point that she had nearly forgotten.

    At this thought, a bitter feeling surfaced in her heart. However, as long as he remains alive...

    "Destroy him," Long Yue said coldly.

    Wanting to leave after absorbing the dragon¡¯s power? Naive!

    "We need to bring theplete dragon¡¯s skull back. Since he has absorbed its power, just take him back with us," Long Yue ordered coldly.

    "Roger."

    Once again, the ck-robed men moved.

    Bang!

    The enormous dragon¡¯s skull was temporarily ced on the ground.

    Once again, they moved against Qin Hai. However, the astonishing strength disyed by Qin Hai, that pure and unadulterated power of his physical body, shocked them.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Gold radiance bubbled around Qin Hai, giving him an appearance akin to a deity.

    Those ck-robed men with the dragon¡¯s bloodline coursing in their veins and all sorts of gic abilities were still not a match for Qin Hai.

    A single punch of his smashed them away.

    Long Yue¡¯s pupils constricted. "How is that possible?!" He was very clear on the strength of those from his family.

    They were all peak C ss!

    Moreover, presently, this was a ce where gic abilities were nonexistent!

    The most powerful aspect of these ck-clothed men was not their strength or physique attributes. Rather, it was the formidable physical body they had by virtue of their dragon bloodline!

    That, coupled with those passive abilities that were not subjected to any restrictions, was what made them so powerful. For example, increasing their physical strength by 20%!

    These passive gic abilities had long fused with their physical body; hence, these abilities would not be restricted by any abilities. With pure physical body alone, they were already iparably formidable. No one was capable of contending against them.

    This was the definition of a Long family member. This was what these ck-robed men were. However, this youth before them...

    Bang!

    Another ck-robed man was flung away.

    A single punch!

    The power bubbling around that youth¡¯s body was astonishingly dreadful.

    "Such strength..." Long Yue fixed his gaze on Qin Hai. Was this the power of the dragon¡¯s bone?

    He had to obtain this!

    "Let me do it!" Long Yue shouted.

    Bang!

    A seemingly boundless power bloomed.

    Veins surfaced all over his body as the terrifying physical body of the Long family erupted. Instantly, his speed increased to the limit as a resolute punch wasunched at Qin Hai.

    "Hmph!" Qin Hai snorted.

    Bang!

    He met Long Yue¡¯s fist with his own. At this instant, a terrifying power blossomed from the collision.

    Pu!

    A mouthful of blood spurted out.

    Long Yue was flung away. He was actually not a match against Qin Hai.

    "Your strength..." Long Yue rubbed his fractured fist. Finally, his expression changed. He was finally made aware of the reason this youth was so formidable. He had actually absorbed the power contained within the dragon¡¯s skull, a power capable of erasing all other abilities!

    Erase: A gic ability contained within that dragon¡¯s skull.

    This was the thing that had given them courage against Lei Hao, the thing that had driven Lei Hao away! This was also the thing that gave them their current strength! However, even the Erase ability was with limitations!

    The intensity of the restriction it was able to ce on abilities was limited in nature. Moreover, only gic abilities that had actually been released could be restricted.

    For example: Lei Hao¡¯s previous eruption. It had failed to erase it the same instant it had appeared. As such, even though Lei Hao¡¯s power had been restricted, he had still been able to flee after the momentary eruption. This youth before them had obviously absorbed this erasing ability of the dragon¡¯s skull.

    Moreover, he had reached a point where the unreleased power contained within one¡¯s body was able to be erased as well. That bubbling gold radiance swirling around him was the terrifying power of the Erase ability.

    With a single punch of his, that gold radiance would start erasing all the power within the target, physical and energy included. Next, the terrifying power of his punch would invade and start destroying the target¡¯s body.

    "Erase..."

    Instead of being rmed, Long Yue was overjoyed.

    If this youth here could absorb that ability, did that not mean that it would be the same for them?

    He started picturing the scene where everyone in the Long family that all possessed terrifying physical bodies obtained this Erase ability, this ability granted by the bloodline¡ªwho would be their match?!

    At that time, the Long family would truly rise!

    Long Yue licked his dry lips. "We must definitely obtain this power! Seize him. Don¡¯t hold back," Long Yue barked his orders.

    An overcast roar resounded, "Roger."

    "What are they doing?"

    Zuo Xiao Rou was rmed. In the battle between physical bodies, both she and Chen Feng could not help. Initially, they had enjoyed the spectacle where Qin Hai crushed all opposition. Now, though, she had an ominous feeling.

    These ck-robed men were giving off a bizarre feeling.

    "I don¡¯t know," Chen Feng answered with a somber tone.

    He had a bad feeling as well.

    However, now that his luck values had been exhausted, he couldn¡¯t do anything. The only thing he could do was hope that the recently broken through Qin Hai, the Qin Hai that had just found his own path, would be stronger.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Qin Hai rained his punches upon them. Almost all of the ck-robed men were smashed away.

    However...

    Howl¡ª

    With the sound of an overcast roar, those heavily injured ck-robed men that were sprawled on the ground started standing up.

    With a flicker of ck radiance, an intense power started radiating from their bodies. Their heavily injured bodies started healing rapidly, and their strength seemed to have increased as well.

    A protrusion started appearing on both sides of their heads.

    Soon, the two protruding points of flesh started condensing as they transformed into flesh-formed horns.

    Hu¡ª

    At the same time, a pair of flesh-formed wings unfolded behind each of them.

    All the ck-robed men, in an instant, had transformed into a peculiar life form that was seemingly human yet not human.

    Chen Feng was somewhat dumbstruck. "Humanoid dragons?"

    "No," Long Yue answered. "This is the power of the dragon¡¯s bloodline!"

    Bang!

    Once again, the ck-robed men shed forth as they made their move. Regardless of their agility, strength, or physique, all were greatly increased. As they moved, afterimages were left behind. The power they were disying was astonishingly dreadful.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The Qin Hai that had appeared unrivaled earlier had now sunk into a disadvantage position.

    Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s expression changed. "Not good."

    Qin Hai is in danger!

    Even if Qin Hai was sufficiently powerful with his newly gained power, against such arge amount of humanoid dragons, he would not be their match. This was especially true when Long Yue was added into the equation.

    There were simply too many of them.

    Unregted Gravity!

    She tried to use her ability. However, it did not work.

    Before that huge skull, all gic abilities were rendered ineffective.

    She looked at Chen Feng. "Chen Feng..."

    "Let me think." Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    He could not do anything much either. His abilities were restricted, his luck values were exhausted, and his physical body was not strong enough. If he joined the battle, he probably wouldn¡¯t even qualify as cannon fodder.

    However...

    Chen Feng¡¯s gazended on the Spirit Sea wood on the ground. After Qin Hai¡¯s breakthrough, that thing had been left on the ground.

    That would be their chance!

    Shua!

    Chen Feng charged forth and grabbed the Spirit Sea wood.

    "Kill him!" Long Yue ordered.

    If Chen Feng and Zuo Xiao Rou were to stand far away to watch the battle, he wouldn¡¯t have been bothered. They were simply toozy to even waste their time to go over there to kill those two. However, since Chen Feng dared toe over by himself, he was simply courting death.

    There was also that branch there!

    He had not originally cared about this branch. However, that A-ss expert seemed to have been here for it. Even Chen Feng was aiming for it. He was not an idiot. He knew that there was something about this thing here.

    Perhaps...

    This thing might be rted to Qin Hai¡¯s act of absorbing the dragon skull¡¯s power. Hence, he would not allow Chen Feng to take this thing away.

    Bang!

    A ck-robed man charged toward Chen Feng with his powerful physical body. His silhouette streaked past the air, akin to a whistling giant, as he smashed toward Chen Feng at a lighting speed.

    Chen Feng was unable to dodge it.

    At this time.

    "Scram!" Qin Hai screamed.

    With a flicker of gold, his silhouette streaked over and smashed that ck-robed man away.

    Pu!

    Blood sttered.

    A bloody scar was left on his back by the opponent he had initially been facing.

    Qin Hai looked at Chen Feng. "Have you gone crazy?"

    At times like this, instead of escaping with that youngdy, what was he doing here?

    "How can I surpass you without being crazy?" A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s mouth. "Guard me for a minute. After that, you can leave the rest to me."

    Initially, he¡¯d intended to flee after grabbing the Spirit Sea wood. However, since even Long Yue had noticed it, he might as well absorb it here.

    "You..." Qin Hai stared into Chen Feng¡¯s eyes. "Fine," Qin Hai answered.

    He believed that, since Chen Feng had given him a guarantee, Chen Feng definitely had his methods of getting out of this.

    Bang!

    Gold radiance bubbled as he guarded in front of Chen Feng.

    The ck-robed men charged forth, yet they all failed to get past him.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Hu!"

    Hum¡ª

    Light swirled around.

    Once again, a power familiar to him surged.

    That was the power belonging to the Spirit Sea wood, the mysterious power of luck value!

 Chapter 233: Heaven-Defying Combat Power!

    Chapter 233: Heaven-Defying Combat Power!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang!

    Space and time seemed to freeze at this moment. Luck Aura was activated fully and it started absorbing the luck value within the Spirit Sea wood. Once again, that surging and mysterious power overflowed out of Chen Feng.

    Hua¡ª

    Light swirled in front of his eyes and Chen Feng once again entered that mysterious yet hazy state of mind.

    Chen Feng was overwhelmed by emotions. "Let¡¯s begin, then."

    His Luck Aura was undergoing another major improvement!

    Upgrade!

    As for the overflowing luck value?

    "Come!" Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were sharp. Since in this world an ability capable of erasing all abilities existed, an ability capable of blocking off this erasing ability would definitely exist. He was approaching this the same way he had approached the frozen sea earlier.

    Now... he wanted to produce an Energy Equipment with such an ability!

    Shua!

    The consumption of luck value begun.

    The unlimited Wind des erupted and started working as the energy supplied to form a clump of silver radiance. Due to the limitations exerted upon him by the dragon¡¯s skull, only this small shining clump of energy was created after exhausting a huge amount of luck value.

    Hum¡ª

    He tried activating it. The power contained within the silver radiance could be felt! It was usable!

    Even within this restricted area, this thing was still able to activate the usage of energy. Despite the fact that only a feeble amount of energy could be used, despite the fact that the energy could not be transmitted out of this clump of radiance, this thing here indeed ignored the effects of the Erase ability.

    This was truly an extremely powerful Energy Equipment.

    "Not good."

    Long Yue¡¯s group had an ominous feeling.

    Chen Feng is able to use energy under the restrictions ced on him by the dragon¡¯s skull? If he is allowed toplete this thing...

    "Kill him!" Long Yue howled.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The group of ck-robed men charged forth.

    However...

    ng!

    Qin Hai¡¯s sturdy figure blocked them all. With gold light swirling around, every single punch of his was world shaking. The gold radiance filled the sky as he blocked all iing attacks.

    That was not an energy-fueled attack. That was a pure physical attack!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The ck-robed men attacked furiously.

    Pu!

    Pu!

    Since Qin Hai had only broken through recently, he was not particrly skillful with the usage of this new power of his. He did not possess any proper moves to be used with this new power of his either. Hence, under the relentless attacks of the ck-robed men, he was cutting quite a sorry figure. However, even with that, he did not retreat a single step.

    He would block the attacks that he could block. As for the attacks that he couldn¡¯t block, he would simply face them forcefully!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Punches rained down on Qin Hai¡¯s body.

    Zuo Xiao Rou was anxious. "Qin Hai!"

    The Qin Hai that had originally had the spirit attribute as his main attribute was only able to break through after using a unique method. However, regardless of how powerful his physical body was...could he truly block those damnable mini dragons for one whole minute?

    Would he be able to provide Chen Feng the one minute he needed?

    Bang!

    Qin Hai¡¯s body was now painted in red.

    Bang!

    Qin Hai¡¯s body trembled lightly.

    He couldn¡¯t hold on much longer!

    These so-called Long family members had reached the limit of C ss after their body transformation. The pure strength of their physical bodies had reached an extremely terrifying level as well.

    Seemingly unequaled.

    Even Qin Hai was unable to resist them!

    Pu!

    Pu!

    Blood dripped out of Qin Hai¡¯s lips.

    How long has it been?

    He checked the time... 50 seconds¡ª10 seconds remaining!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Gold radiance bubbled. The gold radiance that filled the sky earlier had now dimmed. Not much strength was left in Qin Hai¡¯s physical body either. Regardless of how strong one was, one would not be able to keep taking on the attacks of so many people.

    Five seconds!

    Four seconds!

    Pu!

    Qin Hai spat out a huge mouthful of blood.

    Three seconds!

    Two seconds!

    Qin Hai¡¯s legs were shuddering, seemingly unable to even stand anymore.

    One second!

    Bang!

    Qin Hai slumped down powerlessly, half kneeling on the ground.

    I¡¯m afraid... I can¡¯t hold on much longer?

    His face was dreadfully pale, as he had obviously overexerted his strength. That newly broken-through body of his that was initially filled with vigor had been reduced to such a state in several minutes.

    Am I going to die?

    Despite this thought, a smile appeared on Qin Hai¡¯s face.

    Chen Feng, your one minute, I did it!

    Bang!

    Viciousness flickered in Long Yue¡¯s eyes as heunched a punch toward Qin Hai. That formidable and terrifying force behind his punch seemed to pierce through space as it neared Qin Hai.

    However, at this very instant, with a silver flicker, a hand noiselessly stretched out. Calmly, it blocked in front of Qin Hai.

    ng!

    A loud collision.

    Long Yue¡¯s rming attack was actually blocked by a single hand!

    What?

    Long Yue shifted his gaze in shock.

    There, a Chen Feng that was enveloped by a silver radiance could be seen. His right hand was stretched out in an extremely casual manner, giving an illusion that not an ounce of power was put into that outstretched hand, yet it had blocked Long Yue¡¯s strongest attack.

    Long Yue could not believe that. "How is that possible?"

    "Is anything truly impossible?" A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "Qin Hai...thanks. Next, you can leave everything to me." Calmly, Chen Feng walked forth.

    The agitated Zuo Xiao Rou rushed out to hold onto the copsing Qin Hai before retreating backward with him. This time, the roles were switched. Chen Feng was the one blocking in front of them.

    Bang!

    At this instant, the silver radiance appeared so dazzling.

    Since Luck Aura was done with its upgrade and his Energy Equipment waspletely assembled, moving forward, this would be his home ground instead.

    "The descendents of a dragon?" Chen Feng looked at Long Yue¡¯s group as a mocking smile appeared on his face.

    Indeed, that huge skull greatly resembled a western dragon. Coupled with that pair of immense wings, it truly looked like a giant dragon. However, if one were to study it attentively...

    Chen Feng had a faint smile on his face. "Are you sure you guys are not the descendants of a lizard instead?"

    "Chen Feng!" Long Yue¡¯s eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Chen Feng. "Are you aware of what you are doing?!"

    "Of course," Chen Feng answered, smiling. "The so-called dragon¡¯s bloodline, what a load of bullshit. Do you think I can¡¯t recognize the fact that you guys are simply a bunch of mutants? You guys are simply a bunch of legal mutants! Previously, when I participated in thepetition, I met a bunny girl as well. You guys are more or less the same as her. At most, you guys are some lizard mutants."

    Bang!

    Instantly, the Long family members raged.

    Mutant?

    Lizard?

    They were bursting with rage.

    That noble dragon¡¯s bloodline they had, that strength they had that was higher than an ordinary person¡¯s, that formidable power coursing through their veins, was actually "deduced" by Chen Feng in such a manner?

    Bunny girl?

    Lizard mutant?

    They felt deeply insulted.

    "You are courting death."

    Killing intent was seething out of every pore on Long Yue¡¯s body.

    Bang!

    He punched out with a terrifying force.

    All the ck-robed men moved at the same time as well, their target being Chen Feng!

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Come."

    A formidable power could be clearly felt within from the silver radiance wrapped around him!

    The superpowerful Energy Equipment with a power amplifier of 500%!

    A power amplifier of 500% might have been reached when a D-ss gic warrior erupted with their strongest secret art. However, that was still an instantaneous eruption, and had all sorts of limitations.

    But for the current Chen Feng... there were no limitations! Every single punch of his would be amplified by 500%!

    At this ce where no energy could be used, only the physical body¡¯s strength, Chen Feng was an unrivaled existence.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Instantly, Chen Feng erupted.

    With a punch of his, a ck-robed man was flung away. With another punch of his, another ck-robed man was punctured by him. From that terrifying silver radiance, a terrifying power was erupting.

    Battle! Battle! Battle!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Silver radiance flickered without stop as all the lizard mutants were beaten back into their human form.

    Finally, even Long Yue was smashed away by that silver punch.

    How is this possible...

    Long Yue¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief.

    He had never expected himself to be smashed away by a mere D-ss gene producer, more so when they werepeting in a domain he specialized in: pure physical strength!

    Currently, an rmed expression appeared on Qin Hai¡¯s face as well.

    Chen Feng is so powerful?

    To break through his limit, to not fall behind the others, he had chosen to walk this difficult and dangerous path. Finally, his flesh had been strengthened to his current level.

    Since his potential had been fully exhausted, it hadn¡¯t been possible for him to increase his attributes.

    Hence, using such a method, he had thoroughly altered the nature of his body.

    Strength attribute limit?

    Spirit attribute limit?

    All these were now pointless.

    He had altered the ordinary human body he¡¯d had into a stronger body! With that, even when his attributes remained, he was still able to unleash an inconceivable might!

    This was the path Qin Hai had chosen!

    However, this Chen Feng fellow was actually so powerful now?

 Chapter 234: Giant Dragon Somethingâ€¦

    Chapter 234: Giant Dragon Something...

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "It¡¯s Energy Equipment," Zuo Xiao Rou whispered. "It might be rted to that branch he held onto. This shouldn¡¯t be his regr condition."

    She was clear how strong Chen Feng normally was. If Chen Feng was this powerful in his regr condition, they would have ended the battle and left this ce with Qin Hai long ago.

    "Mhm." Qin Hai nodded slightly. However, his eyes never left Chen Feng.

    Regardless of whether this was his regr condition or not, Chen Feng was once again beyond him. This youngster that had defeated him during thepetition had once again surpassed him.

    Moreover, this youngster had saved him once again!

    "Chen Feng..." Qin Hai muttered inwardly.

    He was aware that, simr to him, Chen Feng was also a person of outstanding talent. This ck horse of the rookiepetition was currently growing at an extremely terrifying speed.

    Qin Hai¡¯s gaze was resolute. "I won¡¯t fall behind."

    Even if he couldn¡¯t surpass Chen Feng, even if he would forever be chasing after Chen Feng, he would not fall behind!

    Bang!

    The resplendent silver radiance shone dazzlingly.

    Long Yue was flung backward as blood spurted furiously out of his mouth. The other ck-robed men were all sprawled everywhere on the ground, howling in grief. This was simply a battle between those in different leagues.

    That was an Energy Equipment assembled with a huge amount of luck value!

    Chen Feng waved his hand. "Let¡¯s end this."

    At this moment, in a bizarre undertone, a chant resounded.

    Shua!

    Instantly, the whole world sunk into darkness.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. What happened?

    Hum¡ª

    An subdued chant could be heard, akin to a demonic curse being cast amidst the darkness.

    Rays of bizarre-looking red lights hovered up of the ck-robed men. Next, those ck robes started interweaving together. Along with the ck robes, those red rays started interweaving as well, creating a bizarre looking scene.

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    One string of blood after another was created.

    "I... shall not die here!" Long Yue¡¯s sinister-looking gaze was filled with killing intent. "Those who insult the Long family must pay the price!"

    "Ah¡ª"

    Next, a heart-wrenching shout could be heard.

    Surrounded by the blood-red strings, Long Yue¡¯s body started to copse. Countless terrifying red strings twined around him until, ultimately, a huge clump of red radiance was formed.

    Bang!

    The red radiance bloomed.

    Howl!

    An imposing howl resounded.

    Amidst the red radiance, a lively radiance flickered into existence. As the darkness faded, a dazzling giant dragon formed of the red strings appeared in the air. Every single motion and p of its wings appeared so mesmerizing.

    That is...

    Qin Hai and the rest inhaled mouthfuls of cold air.

    Giant dragon!

    It was really a giant dragon!

    Even if that was a product created through the power unleashed by Long Yue and the ck-robed men, this still signified that the power of a dragon truly coursed through their blood!

    The descendants of a dragon...

    What the Long family believed was actually the truth?

    Howl!

    The giant dragon howled. Its eyes still bore some semnce to Long Yue. Evidently, all the ck-robed men had transformed into blood strings in order to assist Long Yue in his transformation into a blood-colored giant dragon!

    "You darey hands on the power that belongs to us? All of you... deserve death!" the giant dragon howled.

    Howl!

    A trace of a dragon¡¯s aura could be felt from the terrifying roar.

    The giant dragon¡¯s eyes were shining with a dazzling red radiance and were filled with killing intent. It locked onto Chen Feng before opening its wide jaw. Next, a thick beam of blood-colored light shot out from the jaw.

    Bang!

    Only a dazzling red could be seen.

    "Chen Feng!"

    Qin Hai and Zuo Xiao Rou were rmed.

    That was a dragon!

    All this while, a dragon had remained a legend to them. However, now that they had witnessed this so-called dragon¡¯s bloodline and dragon¡¯s skull, it was probable that a dragon truly existed. Even if the dragon before them was simply something that Long Yue had temporarily transformed into, that terrifying might it exhibited was sufficient to nt fear in a person¡¯s heart.

    Could Chen Feng block this attack?

    Instinctively, Qin Hai and Zuo Xiao Rou looked at Chen Feng.

    There, amidst the boundless red, a dazzling radiance abruptly appeared and started shining.

    Qin Hai¡¯s eyes shone. "It¡¯s Chen Feng!"

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The silver radiance appeared dazzling.

    With the Energy Equipment on him, Chen Feng ultimately managed to defend against this attack despite the fact that the impact of the attack had pushed him backward.

    Shua!

    The blood-red radiance disappeared, leaving a row of deep footprints on the ground.

    "This is the power of a dragon?" Chen Feng said coldly. For some reason, the calm in his voice felt infuriating to his opponent¡¯s ears.

    "Hmph!" the giant dragon bellowed.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The blood-red pair of wings started pping. At that, the giant dragon started raging as torrents of blood-red radiance washed over Chen Feng without stop. That speck of feeble silvery flickering representing Chen Feng was almostpletely submerged by the red.

    However...

    Regardless of how many times the attacks bombarded Chen Feng, that silver radiance remained.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Calmly, Chen Feng punched out, one punch at a time.

    Every single punch was apanied by a silver radiance. At this moment, that formidable power assembled by the Spirit Sea wood was unleashing an inconceivable might.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Amidst the red torrent, he was actually advancing.

    One step!

    Two steps!

    Shua!

    Chen Feng shouted, "Open!"

    The blood-red radiance that seemed to cover the sky vanished, and once again, the silver radiance shone upon the world.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng leaped and erupted with at least 30% of his Energy Equipment¡¯s energy supply and smashed into the blood-red dragon.

    Bang!

    The earth trembled.

    A dazzling radiance dispersed.

    Pu!

    That enormous giant dragon was smashed away.

    "You..."

    The giant dragon stared at Chen Feng, unbelieving.

    Defeated!

    He was defeated?

    A giant dragon might not have been a dragon in the truest sense, but anything with the word "dragon" in its name would normally be extremely terrifying.

    Even if there was only a small amount of giant dragon gene in the people of the Long family, when they extracted all the genes within their body and condensed them together to form the giant dragon, the power unleashed was still terrifying.

    This was a power that belonged only to their Long family!

    However, he had been defeated! Defeated by this bastard here that he could previously eradicate with a wave of his hand.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng walked forth.

    "You lose," he said calmly.

    "This is impossible!" The giant dragon roared, "We are the Long family! We are the descendents of a dragon. It is impossible for us to be defeated by you! Is this due to insufficient dragon genes used? That must be it." Killing intent seethed out of the red giant dragon¡¯s eyes as itnded on the dragon¡¯s skull. "You are the one who forced me into this. The power of a dragon¡¯s skull, the true power of a giant dragon... Hehehehe. Hahahaha."

    The giant dragonughed crazily.

    Bang!

    Its huge red w grabbed toward the dragon¡¯s skull.

    Hum¡ª

    A terrifying power started surging.

    Not good!

    Qin Hai¡¯s expression changed slightly.

    The power of the dragon¡¯s skull was simply too dreadful. It was capable of restricting even the A-ss Lei Hao¡¯s power. Even if Chen Feng managed to break away from the restriction subjected on him, if the giant dragon were to absorb the power contained within the dragon¡¯s skull...

    Their fusion would be the most dreadful thing! The methods of those from the Long family were simply too terrifying. They possessed the capability to assemble the genes from all life forms that contained even a sliver of a dragon¡¯s gene within them to form a giant dragon, and within that dragon¡¯s skull was a true giant dragon gene.

    The moment he absorbed the dragon¡¯s skull, what appeared next might be a genuine giant dragon!

    However, surprisingly, Chen Feng merely looked on indifferently.

    "Chen Feng?" Zuo Xiao Rou reminded him.

    At times like this, shouldn¡¯t he be stopping them?

    "There¡¯s no need." Chen Feng sneered. "If he chose not to fuse with the so-called ¡®dragon¡¯s skull,¡¯ he might have been able to flee. He might even have been able to flee together with this skull here. But now..."

    "Howl!"

    The red radiance shone dazzlingly.

    The radiance surrounding the blood-red giant dragon intensified. Evidently, it was absorbing the power of the dragon¡¯s skull.

    Zuo Xiao Rou was confused. "Why?"

    That was the bone of a giant dragon!

    Hence, the powerful gene of the giant dragon would definitely exist within it. How could he...

    At the same time.

    An odd expression appeared on Qin Hai¡¯s face as he seemed to recall something. "Could it be..."

    "That¡¯s right." A toying smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "It¡¯s that thing."

    Dragon¡¯s skull?

    Who said this was a dragon¡¯s skull?!

    Just because it resembled a dragon¡¯s head and had a huge size, it was a dragon¡¯s skull?

    If this was any other ce, with such a size and its resemnce with a dragon, there was no doubt in its identity as a dragon¡¯s skull. However, what ce was this?

    Frozen Sea Tundra!

    Here, there were countless life forms that were iparably huge in size.

    If that was truly a giant dragon, how was it possible for such a powerful life form to not mutate here? And after mutation, how muchrger would its body be?

    No one knew the answer!

    As it turned out, this skull here that greatly resembled a dragon and possessed the mystical Erase ability just happened to greatly resemble a different life form that Chen Feng remembered.

    --

    Dissolving Lizard

    Ability: Release a weak undtion capable of reducing the power of energy.

    --

    Aftering here, this ordinary life form had mutated into a ¡®giant dragon.¡¯ That seemingly ordinary ability it possessed had also transformed into an extremely powerful energy restrictor.

    This was what Long Yue was nning to fuse with.

    Did he truly believed that Chen Feng was merely insulting them when he jeered at them earlier, calling them lizard mutants?

    No.

    In fact, Chen Feng was truly curious. He was curious to know, when the powerful giant dragon with the mysterious power formed by the giant dragon genes of the Long family fused with a lizard gene, what would be the result?

 Chapter 235: New Ability

    Chapter 235: New Ability

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang!

    Light swirled around as Long Yue finished absorbing the new genes.

    The power within the "dragon¡¯s skull" was absorbed and fused with the blood-red giant dragon. Ultimately, a brand new type of energy was created as the giant dragon¡¯s body started changing without stop.

    Noiselessly, the wings disappeared.

    The enormous body of the giant dragon reduced in size, and its limbs shortened as its body neared the ground. Ultimately, the transformation finished and it became a huge blood-red lizard.

    Evolution?

    Nope.

    This was degeneration.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    So he had indeed turned into a lizard?

    Long Yue was horrified. "No! This is impossible!"

    They were descendents possessing the bloodline of a dragon. How was it possible for him to transform into something like this? Even if he were to fuse with genes of other species, the power of the genes should not be able to surpass the power of the dragon¡¯s bloodline!

    Chen Feng sighed. "Erase..."

    The lizard¡¯s Erase ability had erased the power of the so-called dragon¡¯s bloodline. From the moment Long Yue had started absorbing the power within the skull, he had been destined to reach a dead end.

    Chen Feng shook his head. Let¡¯s end it.

    Bang!

    With a terrifying and dazzling silver, Chen Feng smashed Long Yue away with a punch. However, Long Yue¡¯s huge body merely rolled on the ground before standing up without any injuries.

    "Hahahaha. Even without the genes of a dragon, the genes of this lizard are powerful enough!"

    Long Yue had a vicious expression on his face. He could clearly feel the formidable power within his body.

    What he felt was the formidable power belonging to the erged dissolving lizard. Even without the dragon¡¯s bloodline, it was still powerful. As long as he killed Chen Feng and return to the Long family...

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Long Yue started raging.

    That terrifying body of his charged at Chen Feng.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Its long tail whipped forth.

    Chen Feng¡¯s silver Energy Equipment actually failed to resist this attack.

    "Haha. When this power is so formidable, so what if it¡¯s the power of a lizard?" Long Yue had a vicious expression.

    Bang!

    It moved its body and charged at Chen Feng.

    However, surprisingly, even when he was in an absolute disadvantage, Chen Feng did not appear anxious. He merely stared at Long Yue with sympathy in his eyes.

    Long Yue¡¯s heart throbbed. What¡¯s going on?

    "Have you forgotten one thing?" A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "You have indeed obtained a huge improvement in your strength after absorbing the power of lizard. However, the skull whose power was fully absorbed by you..."

    Hum¡ª

    That huge skull turned into dust as it dispersed.

    After having all its power absorbed, this skull was no longer able to maintain its form. As it was gone, the most formidable power of this skull, the Erase ability, had disappeared as well.

    Now, everyone here could once again use their energy!

    Not good. Long Yue¡¯s heart throbbed. If they recover their ability to use energy...

    Bang!

    Suddenly, a terrifying pressure started descending.

    The cold voice of Zuo Xiao Rou resounded, "Unregted Gravity ¨C Grinder!" She had been holding her frustrations for so long and could no longer hold it in. Finally, after the restriction on energy usage was removed, she erupted with her strongest ability!

    Bang!

    The huge lizard loudly mmed into the ground, never to stand up again.

    "We... Long... family..." Long Yue¡¯s indignant shout stopped mid sentence.

    Bang!

    Zuo Xiao Rou waved her tiny hand.

    Long Yue could not even finish his sentence before his death. His huge pair of eyes were fixed on Chen Feng¡¯s group, unable to believe that he would actually die here.

    It¡¯s over...

    Chen Feng exhaled in relief.

    It had been too difficult!

    Lei Ming!

    Long Yue!

    This Frozen Sea Tundra trip had been much more dangerous than he¡¯d imagined.

    However, amidst the extreme dangers, he¡¯d reaped great profits as well. Qin Hai had been saved and Chen Feng¡¯s Luck Aura was once again upgraded!

    If a level was assigned to it, the Luck Aura should be Level 3 now, right?

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    Shua!

    He checked himself.

    Luck value: 1,000 points.

    As the Spirit Sea wood he¡¯d obtained this time was bigger than the previous Spirit Sea wood, after upgrading his Luck Aura, 1,000 points of luck value were left for him.

    Naturally, this was not the most crucial reward he obtained.

    The most crucial reward was the new functions Luck Aura had gained from the upgrade.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng activated his Luck Aura.

    Hum--

    Ayer of an illusory world appeared. This was an illusory world only Chen Feng could see. Simr to the digitized world, it could be ssified as a unique and independent spiritual world.

    Yi? Chen Feng was somewhat astonished. Luck Aura has created its own spiritual world as well?

    Shua!

    Chen Feng scanned the newly created world, and immediately, his body shivered.

    In this illusory world, countless bizarre light particles were drifting around, with rays of light swirling around as well. Within this world, the powerful and mysterious power of luck seemed to flow!

    This was a world formed with luck!

    An illusory world!

    The luck number generator that Chen Feng had created using the gene fragments in his digitized world was a function this new world possessed!

    He no longer needed to fret his mind over the usage of his luck number generator!

    Everything would be automated within this illusory world!

    For example: Hou Liang¡¯s coordinates.

    Shua!

    A bizarre power started coursing through this world of luck as the mysterious power contained within this world swirled around before transmitting the urate coordinate to Chen Feng. That was not the end of it. In the illusory world, the lights that were swirling around actually formed a scene depicting what Hou Liang was currently doing.

    This is...

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted.

    A scene!

    Using light particles, it was indeed possible to depict all sorts of scenes. Theoretically, as long as the light particles were arranged in a specific manner, any scene could be depicted. However, the probability for the light particles to arrange themselves in just the correct manner to disy the scene he needed was too low. If he were to force it to happen, the exhaustion of luck value would be too huge.

    At least, this was something he couldn¡¯t aplish in his digitized world.

    That was simply a joke. How many gene fragments would be required to form a proper scene?

    It was unknown.

    And now, due to the existence of this illusory world, all the light particles and everything else capable of affecting probability had appeared.

    These bizarre light particles had formed this illusory world!

    Here, a scene that was exactly the same as what was happening in reality would be depicted!

    In short, due to the existence of this illusory world, the previous feedback from his Luck Aura, which he could only receive in numeric form, had now been modernized, entering a brand new era!

    This was akin to an upgrade from a ckberry to an iPhone!

    So... in the future, images will apany the coordinates when I look for someone?

    Chen Feng was filled with anticipation.

    Within the shown scene, Hou Liang started taking his clothes off...

    Chen Feng¡¯s face darkened.

    Luckily, the scene vanished after only one second. As such, Chen Feng was saved from witnessing that particr scene. Instinctively, he exhaled in relief.

    Luck value exhaustion: 1 point.

    Luck Aura ¨C Lockdown had been upgraded!

    "If Lockdown has been upgraded, how about Luck Aura ¨C rm?" Chen Feng urged inwardly. All along, the manner in which his Luck Aura ¨C rm worked had always been quite violent. It had always been using the destruction of gene fragments as a means of notifying Chen Feng of the impending crisis. This was not the most desirable manner for this ability to work.

    Now, when using this ability with his new illusory world, would more information be shown with these light particles?

    If the enemies were to appear, would their exact position be shown?

    Using red dots to show the number of enemies that had appeared, etc...

    Chen Feng had way too many ideas on ways to use this new illusory world of his.

    "Let¡¯s try it out."

    Shua!

    Light swirled around.

    Once again, Luck Aura was activated.

    Shua!

    The illusory world condensed and an astonishing scene appeared.

    This was a huge circr screen with three dots in the middle of it. The three dots represented Chen Feng, Qin Hai, and Zuo Xiao Rou. Five kilometers away from them, countless red dots were approaching them rapidly.

    It worked! The birth of a new ability! An evolved Luck Aura ¨C rm!

    This was simr to the minimaps in the games Chen Feng had yed during his previous life. Using such a bizarre manner, a minimap was recreated in this world.

    However, before Chen Feng could even bask in the joyful feeling, he was rmed by those red dots.

    Enemy attack!

    Those numerous red dots were all enemies!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Multiple silhouettes were traveling through the snow tundra. Lei Hao and Lei Ming were among them. Just several minutes after Chen Feng and Long Yue started their battle, the second wave of the people from the mysterious organization arrived. This time, all of those dispatched were above C ss. Moreover, even A ss were included in their midst.

    "Are you sure there¡¯s a Spirit Sea wood here?" the leading A-ss gic warrior asked Lei Hao.

    Lei Hao sighed. "I¡¯m certain."

    If possible, he would absolutely not want to contact this guy here even if he was aware that this guy was on a mission nearby. That was because the moment this guy was contacted, the new owner of the Spirit Sea wood might change. With his present strength, he would most probably fail to obtain the Spirit Sea wood for himself.

    "Very good." That guy was very pleased.

    Spirit Sea wood...this was an item that very few people knew about. Even those from the Gic Union or Gene Production Association had limited records about it. Instead, they had simplybeled it as an item of legends. Only the people from their organization knew that this thing truly existed!

    Anyone who possessed the core member¡¯s badge would be able to feel that power contained within. Only a feeble trace of it was contained within their badge, yet one could feel that it was an extremely formidable power! If he were to obtain one whole Spirit Sea wood, possessing true power...

    He was truly tempted.

    Initially, he had been in a mission at a nearby area that was even more dangerous than this area. However, after receiving Lei Hao¡¯s message, he¡¯d given up on his mission and rushed over without the slightest hesitation.

    "Ye Tong." Lei Hao sighed. "When the timees, just share one tenth of it with us and that will do."

    Ye Tong was all smiles. "Yes, yes."

    Ye Tong found this guy quite tactful. If he only wanted one tenth, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem. As for Chen Feng¡¯s group? They were simply nonexistent to him.

    "That Long something family, eliminate all of them! As for Chen Feng, capture him alive!" Ye Tong ordered coldly.

    "Roger!"

    Everyone epted hismands.

    Everyone on the summit of the snow mountain was locked onto by them.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Waves of light started enveloping the summit.

    Finally, one powerful B-ss scout transmitted thetest situation to them. Currently, only corpses remained of the Long family. Chen Feng¡¯s trio were the only ones left alive there.

    A toying smile appeared on Ye Tong¡¯s face. "Seems like they are done up there?"

    Interestingly, they¡¯d had their work cut short by Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    "Be careful," Lei Ming said in a low voice. "The previous Spirit Sea wood was destroyed by this very Chen Feng."

    Destroyed?

    Ye Tong felt doubtful. An ordinary power could destroy the Spirit Sea wood?

    However, he was unclear, since he had never held onto a true Spirit Sea wood before. Hence, he ordered, "Leave Chen Feng to me. You all can deal with the rest."

    "Roger," everyone replied.

    Shua!

    Flickering around like shadows, they noiselessly surrounded the whole snow mountain¡¯s summit before moving toward the summit.

    A new battle was going to break out at any time.

    Currently, Chen Feng¡¯s trio had unsightly expressions on their faces as well.

    Enemy attack! A huge amount of enemies!

    Despite being able to see these enemies through the mini map, they were unable to find an escape route, as the enemies were approaching while surrounding the summit at the same time.

    Breaking through with force?

    Chen Feng looked at these enemies where the weakest among them were C ss, and he could only smile bitterly.

    This time, things were truly getting dangerous.

    He still had his silver Energy Equipment on him. This set of unique silver Energy Equipment was assembled using at least 10,000 points of luck value. He could clearly feel how terrifying this Energy Equipment was. Every single piece of the silver radiance on his Energy Equipment was made up ofpressed energy worth millions of units. Which of his Myriad Illusions abilities were chosen as the attribute of this Energy Equipment was unknown; however, an astonishing amount of power was clearly contained within this set of Energy Equipment.

    Even if Chen Feng chose to wear this Energy Equipment on him for one whole year, the energy on it would probably not be exhausted.

    However... that was all there was to it. Regardless of the amount of energy contained within this set of Energy Equipment, he would not be able to use it for anything. That was because the attribute of the energy used this time only had a single main function: to defend against Erase. This was a set of Energy Equipment capable of smooth energy cirction despite being subjected to the power of the Erase ability.

    This was its function.

    As for the truebat power of this Energy Equipment? Peak C ss.

    Chen Feng sighed. "If this ce had not been affected by the Erase ability earlier..."

    Earlier, when the luck value had been overflowing, if that bizarre Erase ability hadn¡¯t been present, the Energy Equipment formed under support of his unlimited luck value would definitely have been much stronger. Perhaps it might even have surpassed the power a B ss possessed. However, could Chen Feng truly control an Energy Equipment at that level?

    He was not certain.

    "Let¡¯s escape," Zuo Xiao Rou proposed.

    Under her gravity control, their escaping speed would be much faster! With Chen Feng¡¯s Energy Equipment, as long as they reached the frozen sea, neither the mysterious organization nor A-ss experts wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything to them. There at the frozen sea, Chen Feng was the sole tyrant!

    Qin Hai shook his head. "We won¡¯t be able to get there."

    By now, the vague silhouettes of those from the mysterious organization started appearing around them.

    The one leading the group from the frozen sea¡¯s direction was that A-ss expert. Evidently their opponent was also aware of how terrifying Chen Feng could be on the frozen sea, so they were not taking any chances.

    There was simply no way out for them now.

    Qin Hai¡¯s expression was unsightly. "Damn it."

    They had still ultimately sunk into an impasse.

    "I¡¯m sorry." He felt somewhat guilty toward Chen Feng, as he was the cause of Chen Feng¡¯s current predicament.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Don¡¯t worry about it." What should he do now? Luck value? He had around 1,000 points of luck value remaining. Based on his experience during his previous situation that was quite simr to their current situation, using his luck value to alter reality might really work.

    However, the 1,000 points of luck value were merely sufficient to save them from their current crisis and might bring unknown dangers to them!

    For example, when he¡¯d previously used 1,000 points of luck value to deal with Lei Hao, he¡¯d had instead helped Long Yue. After dealing with Long Yue, a new A-ss expert had instead appeared.

    A thousand points of luck value were only sufficient to resolve a single crisis.

    Hence...

    Should he do it?

    Hopefully, this is the final crisis.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    However, at this moment, Zuo Xiao Rou suddenly recalled something. "Oh yeah, I still have one more drawing from Sister Xiao Yue. She told me to use it during the most dangerous moment."

    Xiao Yue!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    That mysterious youngdy with zerobat power!

    Shua!

    Zuo Xiao Rou took out a drawing.

    "What is this?" Zuo Xiao Rou was puzzled, as this drawing was yet another energy cirction blueprint.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed. The previous blueprint had greatly increased his strength, making him a tyrant of the frozen sea. This time round... "Let me take a look." Filled with excitement, Chen Feng looked at the drawing. However, his expression became somewhat odd after that.

    This is... self-detonation?

    That¡¯s right.

    This was a blueprint for a self-detonation energy cirction route.

    Shit!

    Chen Feng widened his eyes.

    Self-detonation? Is she kidding?

    He was clear on how terrifying his Energy Equipment was. The moment he self-detonated, the power that he could unleash would definitely reach C-ss. With the strength of his physical body, it was probable that he wouldn¡¯t even survive it. Moreover, against a bunch of C-, B-, and A-ss enemies, was there a point to self-detonation?

    Zuo Xiao Rou hung her head dispiritedly. "This was probably meant to be used when we were against Long Yue."

    Indeed, if she had taken this drawing out when facing Long Yue, it might have been helpful. Unfortunately, Chen Feng had dealt with Long Yue with brute force alone.

    Zuo Xiao Rou sighed. "If only I took this out earlier."

    If they had taken a shorter amount of time dealing with Long Yue, they might have been gone long ago. This drawing of Lady Xiao Yue¡¯s was not wrong; Zuo Xiao Rou was the one who had taken it out at the wrong time.

    Zuo Xiao Rou lowered her head. "I¡¯m sorry."

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Don¡¯t worry about it." The me was not on her.

    As Chen Feng continued staring at this blueprint, he was suddenly stunned.

    Self-detonation!

    With his current strength, if he were to self-detonate ordinary Energy Equipment, the power that resulted might reach C ss. However, with the current silver Energy Equipment...

    Abruptly, Chen Feng inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    His silver Energy Equipment was simply too terrifying. If he were to self-detonate it, it was simply akin to a small-scale nuclear warhead! This drawing of Lady Xiao Yue¡¯s was simply perfect for this situation!

    However...

    He no longer had his Peril Rebirth!

    Self-detonation and Peril Rebirth were simply a perfect match. After his superpowerful self-detonation, he would be resurrected by his Peril Rebirth. However, he had been in too much of a rush when he¡¯de here. As such, he hadn¡¯t had time to produce a Peril Rebirth.

    If he were to self-detonate forcefully, everyone here would die!

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "Hence... is this drawing telling us to die together with the enemies?"

    Shua!

    The enemies were nearing them. At this instant, as Chen Feng was staring at the blueprint, he suddenly remembered the first blueprint he¡¯d received from Xiao Yue.

    Body separation...

    Self-detonation...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone brightly. So that¡¯s the case!

    Chen Fengughed heartily. "Haha! I got it!"

    Qin Hai and Zuo Xiao Rou were dumbstruck. Had this kid gone crazy?

    Chen Feng pulled Zuo Xiao Rou over and whispered to her, "Xiao Rou, do this..."

    Currently, Lei Hao¡¯s group had reached the depth of the snow tundra. The silhouettes of Chen Feng¡¯s group were already visible for them.

    Ye Tong had a faint smile. "So they are the ones who beat you back?"

    "..." Lei Hao¡¯s lips twitched. "Be careful lest the Erase¡¯s power is still around."

    "I will take note," Ye Tong said calmly.

    What a joke. Since he already knew about that ability in advance, he would make his move outside the Erase¡¯s area of effect. These mere C-ss and D-ss kids wouldn¡¯t be able to aplish much against him.

    "Prepare!" Ye Tongmanded.

    Shua!

    Everyone moved to their positions.

    However, at this moment, from the snow mountain¡¯s summit, there was an abrupt sh of silver. Chen Feng, who was bathed in silver radiance, had charged forth at an extreme speed, charging toward Ye Tong!

    Has he gone insane?

    Just as everyone was bewildered, the silver streak abruptly somersaulted in the air. Next, Chen Feng rolled out of the Energy Equipment, separating his body from the Energy Equipment!

    Bang!

    That Energy Equipment that was radiating silver continued its charge toward Ye Tong, akin to an artillery shell!

 Chapter 237: Brother, Does This Scene Look Familiar?

    Chapter 237: Brother, Does This Scene Look Familiar?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Xiu!

    At this instant, that dazzling silver radiance seemed to be the only existence in the world. That set of armor that had separated from Chen Feng maintained its high momentum as it charged toward Ye Tong.

    Everyone else was dumbstruck.

    This works? What type of an attack could this be considered as?

    No one could answer that. This was also the first time they had seen such an attacking method. The Energy Equipment could actually be used in such a manner!

    However, even if theycked knowledge of such a manner of attack, they could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within the Energy Equipment. Currently, that silver Energy Equipment was radiating a might terrifying enough to cause one¡¯s heart to palpitate.

    The power was at...

    C ss!

    Peak C ss!

    B ss!

    Peak B ss!

    The power it radiated was increasing without stop.

    Soon...

    It reached A ss!

    "How is that possible?" they eximed in rm.

    A ss! Chen Feng¡¯s Energy Equipment had unleashed A-ss power?! How was that possible?!

    Even if the Energy Equipment had yet to explode, the asional aura it radiated was sufficient to cause iparable horror to the others. This was truly the power of an A ss! It was also the strongest attack Chen Feng had unleashed so far.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Countless people got out of the way in horror.

    Everyone except Ye Tong, who merely sneered as a response.

    "A ss? This is a power you reached after employing some methods, right? Hehe." Ye Tong shook his head slightly. "Child, do you think that in the world of A sses, it¡¯s only a matter of might? Such an idiotic attack, even if it contained the might of A ss..." He sighed.

    This attack of Chen Feng¡¯s was indeed mighty. However, that was all there was to it. It might have a powerful might behind it, but such an idiotic manner of attack would never hit its target!

    What did the power of an A ss look like?

    A good example would be the battle at the Ice River back then.

    Mount Tai¡¯s Suppression!

    The Region of Nine Suns!

    So many A-ss abilities had been unable to achieve the desired effect. What was the reason for that? It was because of the method of attack!

    When one party attacked, did that mean that the enemy did not know how to defend?

    Back then, only Lei Hao¡¯s Verbal Compliance Law had been able to disy the greatest effect. That was because his attack had ignored defense and everything else to directly appear on Wang Yao¡¯s body.

    That was the scariest type of attack. As for this self-detonating Energy Equipment of Chen Feng¡¯s?

    Ye Tongughed.

    It might have had the power of an A ss, but this was definitely the most idiotic A-ss attack Ye Tong had ever witnessed.

    Bang!

    That silver radiance streaked forth like an artillery shell as it moved straight ahead and smashed into the snowy ground.

    Shua!

    Bringing along the people near him, Ye Tong retreated several hundred meters backward.

    This distance was sufficient!

    "Bang!"

    Finally, it ended with an astonishing silver blossom.

    The earth trembled and the heavens and earth seemed to have been pierced through by a single silver beam of light.

    It exploded.

    It had truly exploded.

    As that terrifying A-ss attack exploded, within a circumference of a hundred meters around it, there was not a single survivor. Several B-ss gic warriors that had not been able to escape in time were directly disintegrated into ashes.

    This was the power of an A ss!

    Moreover, the areas that were further away were also hit by the shockwave of this attack.

    Pu!

    Countless B-ss and C-ss gic warriors suffered heavy injuries.

    However...further away, arger amount of them were safe and sound.

    Calmly, Ye Tong activated a defensive barrier as they stood several hundreds of meters away from the center of explosion as he easily blocked the attack.

    Killing him?

    What a joke.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The silver radiance shined without stop while Ye Tong easily blocked all attacks on him, appearing extremely tyrannical.

    So powerful. Even the heart of Lei Hao jolted. This guy is even stronger nowpared to thest time I met him. It seems like I need to recover from my injuries as soon as possible now.

    After a long time, the silver faded.

    On the snowy ground where the Energy Equipment hadnded, a huge abyss had appeared. It was so deep the bottom of it couldn¡¯t be seen, sufficient to showcase the horror of that self-detonation earlier.

    However... Ye Tong, Lei Hao, and the rest were safe and sound!

    Several B-ss and C-ss gic warriors that were slow had been killed. However, this did not have much effect on their strength as a whole.

    Then... time to end this?

    Calmly, Ye Tong looked over.

    At this moment, Chen Feng and the rest were already on their way down the snow mountain.

    "Kill!" Ye Tong ordered coldly.

    Lei Hao had a sudden ominous feeling. "Wait."

    The scene before their eyes was so simr to the scene back then during the Ice River battle! Back then, it was this very unremarkable Chen Feng that had rescued Wang Yao, causing all his efforts to be fruitless!

    Now, without Wang Yao here, there shouldn¡¯t have been any problems with only Chen Feng here. However...

    Suddenly, Lei Hao¡¯s heart trembled. That was because, right at this moment, outside of everyone¡¯s expectations, Chen Feng smiled.

    "Heh, brother." Chen Feng waved his hand at Lei Hao. "Don¡¯t you feel like this scene looks quite familiar?"

    "..." Lei Hao fixed his eyes on Chen Feng.

    Ye Tong sneered. "What are you afraid of?"

    Without the power of the Erase ability here and with that silver Energy Equipment gone, the current Chen Feng was simply trash. What was there to be scared of?!

    "Kill!" Ye Tongmanded his underlings to kill Qin Hai and Zuo Xiao Rou while he started approaching Chen Feng to capture him alive.

    However, it was at this moment that, from Chen Feng¡¯s hands, an abrupt, intense radiance appeared.

    Seemingly endless energy started gushing out and formed a huge water gun in his hand. At the back of the water gun, a hose was inserted into the newly created pit. There... the seawater of the frozen sea could be seen gushing out.

    "Not good!" Finally, Lei Hao figured out the source of his sense of crisis. Lei Hao shouted, "Flee, quick!"

    However, it was toote!

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    Suddenly, a blue torrent shot out.

    It was aimed straight at Ye Tong, who was the nearest to Chen Feng!

    What is that?! Ye Tong had extremely high awareness. The first instant he saw that blue radiance, his A-ss defense activated. However, what horrified him was the fact that his A-ss defense was akin to paper at this moment...

    Finally, Ye Tong had an ominous feeling. Dodge!

    However...

    Even if the speed at which he dodged was extremely fast¡ªenough for the icy blue torrent that was initially aimed at his chest to miss by a wide margin¡ªdue to him being too near, he ultimately still failed topletely avoid it!

    Pu!

    He was sprayed a face full of water by Chen Feng.

    Pu!

    Half his face dissolved on the spot as a mournful scream pierced the skies.

    "No¡ªDon¡¯t!" Ye Tong was horrified.

    How had this happened?

    He was an A-ss expert! Yet he was disfigured by a D-ss gene producer?

    Ye Tong could not believe this.

    Idiot. Lei Hao cursed inwardly.

    Had this guy forgotten what ce this was due to him being at A ss for way too long? This was the Frozen Sea Tundra! An unexplored forbidden area!

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    A multitude of icy blue radiances shot out.

    Escape!

    Everyone escaped in a sorry manner.

    Suddenly, Ye Tong screeched, "Chen Feng!!!"

    The pain did not faze him, as he had simply been in countless dangerous situations. Earlier, he had used an emergency healing gene reagent, the strongest A-ss healing reagent, on himself.

    However... half his face was still disfigured! Even if his flesh were to regrow there, his face would still appear dreadful. His previous appearance would never return to him!

    "Chen Feng... you!!" Ye Tong appeared deranged. His terrifying shout resounded, "I want to kill you!!!"

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Ye Tong started raging.

    His silhouette flickered as he transformed into countless sharp gleams that streaked toward Chen Feng.

    However, under the endless icy blue torrents, he was simply unable to near Chen Feng. As long as he approached Chen Feng, what weed would be the never-ending streams of icy seawater that were attacking indiscriminately.

    Chen Feng sneered. Getting revenge on me? How naive!

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    His super powered water gun started bursting without stop as two more enemies fell to him.

    Powered by energy, this superpowered water gun could shoot further without stronger might!

    At the same moment, a gic warrior that was already several hundreds of meters away was staring at the gush of water that was randomly sprayed at him with despair on his face.

    Pu!

    The icy bluended on him.

    He widened his eyes abruptly, as that water had actually lost its effect this time.

    How could this...

    That¡¯s right!

    He was immediately overjoyed as he shouted, "The water will be ineffective three seconds after it leaves the body of water. As long as we are outside this range, he will not be able to harm us."

    So that¡¯s the case.

    Everyone felt enlightened.

    Shua!

    They all started retreating.

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    The icy seawater shot out by Chen Feng no longer appeared mighty.

    "Hahaha." Ye Tongughed malevolently as hatred seethed out of his eyes. "Watch how I torture and kill you!"

    A radius of several hundred meters! For A-ss warriors like them, this was not a problem. They started surrounding Chen Feng, evidently nning to kill Chen Feng outside his attacking range.

    "You are dead!"

    Ye Tong¡¯s face twisted.

    Even now, he could still feel that searing pain on his face.

    "Is that so?"

    Chen Feng smiled. Next, he dragged Qin Hai and Zuo Xiao Rou as they leaped into the abyss.

    What?

    When Ye Tong and the rest reached the vicinity of the abyss, they found that Chen Feng had assembled a purple submarine and was noiselessly sinking into the water...

    ??

    Ye Tong was dumbstruck.

    Chen Feng had escaped right in front of all of them.

    Just like that, in an absolutely unrestrained manner, he¡¯d used his Energy Equipment ability to assemble a submarine. Ye Tong knew that a casual attack from him would be sufficient to destroy that thing. However, he couldn¡¯t hit it!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    His attacks rained down crazily. However, all of his attacks dissolved the moment they reached the seawater. Not all types of energy were capable of ignoring the power of the icy seawater. Apart from Chen Feng, these people would be stumped in this aspect.

    It¡¯s over just like this?

    The people behind Ye Tong had bewildered expressions. So... they had abandoned their initial mission toe over here to ambush Chen Feng, only to suffer countless casualties and have their A-ss expert Ye Tong¡¯s face disfigured. Then their enemy escaped right in front of their face in a grandiose fashion with them unable to do anything except look at his escape? Even when they had two A-ss experts with them?

    This...

    "They won¡¯t be able to go far," someone suddenly said. "That so-called submarine is most certainly an empty shell."

    That¡¯s right. Chen Feng definitely had zero mechanical knowledge, such as the data required to build a proper submarine. Hence, this Energy Equipment he¡¯d forged was simply an empty shell!

    He would be able to control the submarine¡¯s movement through energy usage. How about the other factors? For example, air!

    "There¡¯s no air underwater," someone cried out in rm.

    "Even if they have managed to escape from us, they are still going to die."

    "True that. The frozen sea is too far away from here. The air within the submarine is definitely not enough tost them even one tenth of the route to the open frozen sea area."

    "They will definitelye out."

    Everyone analyzed.

    "Very good." Ye Tong was seething with killing intent.

    He was certain that, among that trio, none of them had air rted ability.

    "Blockade this abyss here! When theye out, kill without mercy!" Ye Tong¡¯s killing intent was evident.

    They stared resolutely at the abyss. "Roger!"

    They had been careless earlier. This time, as long as Chen Feng¡¯s group revealed themselves for even a single instant, relentless attacks would be what weed them!

    Chen Feng would surely die!

    Naturally, they could also choose to not show themselves and instead drown to death under the water.

    Will this work?

    Lei Hao watched on with a frown on his face.

    Theoretically, their n was wless. However, he had an indescribable feeling that something somewhere was wrong. As long as the opponent was Chen Feng, some bizarre thing would always happen.

    "Hopefully, there¡¯s no problem..." Lei Hao muttered.

    If they failed to capture Chen Feng, their losses this time around were simply too disastrous! Moreover, based on his understanding of Ye Tong, this guy was extremely narcissistic when it came to his looks. It was very probable for this guy to be his enemy due to this!

    At this thought, the Lei Hao brothers fixed their gazes at the abyss as well.

    Snowkes drifted down as time passed.

    The sky darkened, and the snow tundra became even colder.

    Currently, within the endless frozen sea, a purple radiance could be seen. Chen Feng¡¯s group was still submerged within the water. From the rear of the submarine, a session of bubbles rumbled out.

    Mhm...

    Zuo Xiao Rou inhaled deeply. "Wow, the air here is so fresh," she eximed in admiration.

    She had originally thought that the interior of this small submarine would be very stifling.

    Chen Feng merelyughed. "Hehe."

    What nonsense. You are breathing in highly concentrated oxygen! Of course it¡¯s fresh.

    At the front part of the submarine, energy spread out without stop to ionize the seawater...

    The icy seawater was, in essence, ordinary seawater as well. Its mysteriousness did not stem from the water itself. Instead, it originated from that mysterious power contained within the water. They only needed to absorb the water into the submarine and wait for three seconds for the water to lose its effectiveness and transform intomon seawater. Next, they would use the energy of the submarine to ionize and extract oxygen and hydrogen out of it...

    Naturally, with the strength of their current body, oxygen toxicity was no longer a concern, as they were able to easily adapt to such purity of oxygen. As for the separation of other gaseous substances and impurities, a low amount of luck value was exhausted to easily deal with them.

    It was simply too easy. The path this world had undertaken for its development was different. This was the gic era, the era where utmost strength was the pursuit of the masses. Hence, in this world, this knowledge was not taught duringpulsory education¡ªonlybat and gene-rted knowledge was taught.

    Granted, this information would be avable in science books, but no one paid attention to those. Naturally, if Chen Feng knew that Ye Tong¡¯s group was currently waiting for him at the abyss, he would probablyugh himself to death at this idiotic act of theirs.

    Shua!

    The submarine traveled in an aloof manner. asionally, the gigantic creatures of the seabed would pass them by, as evidenced by the huge shadows that brushed past their submarine, rming them. Fortunately, for these creatures, that purple energy projected an indescribable pressure onto them, because it was ingrained in these creatures¡¯ brains that such energy capable of ignoring the icy seawater¡¯s power would only appear on reefs or the shore.

    As far as they were concerned, this signified unknown danger that they should avoid.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    They traveled amidst the flowing seawater and were appreciating the rarely seen scenery of the seabed.

    This is simply so much betterpared to a marine park... Chen Fengmented.

    Qin Hai started to stir. "These life forms of frozen sea are at least A ss!"

    After absorbing a portion of the magnified lizard¡¯s power, he had gained a physical body that was unrivaled in C ss, with his truebat power being unrivaled in D ss. If he were to absorb the power of the frozen sea¡¯s life forms...

    "Qin Hai..." Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s gaze was filled with gentleness and infatuation.

    At this, Qin Hai¡¯s head ached. Earlier, she had already told him her identity. He had finally recalled who this youngdy was. However, he truly wasn¡¯t that close to her! What age were they living in for her to believe in arranged marriage? Even the whole Qin family was already gone! But this youngdy here had specificallye over to rescue him...

    Sigh.

    For this issue, Qin Hai was at a loss as well. He could only let nature takes its course and let everything happen naturally for now.

    Qin Hai appeared amazed. "Chen Feng, look at that ice shark."

    Zuo Xiao Rou: "..."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    What an awkward way of changing the topic.

    "I won¡¯t force you." Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s gaze softened yet, at the same time, filled with resoluteness. "However, I will definitely make you fall in love with me. Because I am Zuo Xiao Rou, the unique and unmatched Zuo Xiao Rou!"

    " Up? 1 " Chen Feng said in amazement. Usage of words was in itself an art.

    "What?" Evidently, Zuo Xiao Rou did not understand him.

    Chen Feng coughed. "Nothing."

    Beside him, Qin Hai red at this troublemaker grudgingly.

    The snow tundra was extremely huge. The frozen sea beneath the snow tundra was evenrger. Unhurriedly, the submarine drifted under the water. Chen Feng did not dare to speed up, since he was worried that he would identally knock into some random life forms of the frozen sea and cause an underwater explosion.

    The night passed quietly.

    At the snow tundra, in front of a certain pit, Ye Tong¡¯s group was freezing their asses off waiting for Chen Feng. With nk expressions, they stared at the surface of the water, which appeared so calm. A whole night had passed, yet nothing hade out!

    Was Chen Feng dead?

    Nope. They had probably escaped.

    "Maybe they have some item capable of producing oxygen..." someone guessed.

    Ye Tong was ashen faced.

    He could not believe that Chen Feng had even prepared for this beforeing here. However, from what he had seen, he had no choice but to believe this was the case.

    Chen Feng had truly escaped!

    "Ka!"

    Veins surfaced on Ye Tong¡¯s forehead. At that, that disfigured face of his appeared twisted, giving him an extremely dreadful appearance.

    Ye Tong¡¯s killing intent was surging. "I will kill you sooner orter!"

    Behind him, everyone else sunk into silence out of fear.

    Even Lei Hao did not dare to provoke Ye Tong at this moment, lest this guy really go crazy and me this on him. That wouldn¡¯t be worth it.

    Ultimately, Ye Tong ordered their withdrawal. "Go!"

    This mission of the mysterious organization¡¯s had ultimately concluded in failure.

    The snow tundra recovered its tranquility.

    After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, an old man appeared. Calmly, he walked along the freezing snow tundra before ultimately stopping at the snow mountain¡¯s summit.

    He felt a familiar aura from this ce.

    "Old friend... I can feel your bloodline."

    Shua!

    Slowly, he reached out with his hand.

    Bang!

    Noiselessly, the snow on the ground started melting, revealing the corpse of Long Yue.

    "Dead?"

    The old man contemted.

    Shua!

    He spread his right hand. At that, a bizarre radiance appeared and started swirling. With Long Yue as the center, bizarre changes started urring around him. At the same time, Long Yue¡¯s body gradually transformed as well.

    Suddenly, that heart that had been immobile for a long time started beating again.

    Thump!

    Thump!

    Long Yue was revived!

    If someone else was here, they would have been extremely shocked to find that this was the power of time! In this world, there actually existed someone capable of controlling time!

    Thump!

    Thump!

    Long Yue¡¯s heart started pulsing in a lively manner. nkly, Long Yue reopened his eyes, evidently not understanding what had happened.

    Shua!

    The old man pointed at the empty air. Next, the earlier scene reyed itself in Long Yue¡¯s brain. Evidently, he was toozy to exin what had happened. Hence, he employed such a simple method to let Long Yue know what had happened.

    Long Yue knelt down to express his gratitude. "Thank you, senior, for saving my life."

    This was a genuine expert! He could sense that the power of this senior was much higher than all those so-called A-ss experts! That terrifying power of his was sufficient to nt fear in anyone!

    "No worries." The old man shook his head slightly. "I merely felt the bloodline of an old friend from your body. However feeble and impure the bloodline is, it¡¯s still my old friend¡¯s bloodline."

    Bloodline!

    Long Yue shivered as he recovered his cool.

    His bloodline was the giant dragon¡¯s bloodline! However, how was it possible for this old man¡¯s old friend to be a giant dragon? One had to know that the era where the giant dragon was alive was...

    Wait.

    Suddenly, he recalled that this old man here controlled the power of time. Did that not signify immortality? If that was the case, it wouldn¡¯t be odd for this old man to have had a giant dragon as a friend, even if giant dragons had only been alive during that era!

    Long Yue¡¯s emotions surged.

    He knew that this might be a gargantuan fortuitous encounter he had stumbled upon!

    Long Yue knelt on the ground."I earnestly beg for senior¡¯s guidance."

    "Whatever." The old man sighed. "Since we met, this can be considered as fate. My old friend had been gone for a very long time. If you are able to once again disy the same splendor belonging to him, it can serve as a constion. Since that¡¯s the case, let me awake the bloodline within your body."

    Shua!

    The bizarre radiance started swirling around.

    As his emotions surged, Long Yue kowtowed to express his gratitude. "Many thanks!"

    He knew that this was a gargantuan fortuitous encounter for him. From now onward, he would be reincarnated as a giant dragon! He would probably be the very first possessor of a true giant dragon¡¯s bloodline among the Long family!

    Hum¡ª

    The old man waved his hand.

    Long Yue could feel the genes within his body burning.

    He knew it.

    He was returning to his roots! This was the power of time!

    "Since you have reawakened your bloodline, do not forget to pass on this bloodline to the future generations. In this world, you are his sole heir."

    At that, the faint voice of the old man vanished together with his body, as if he had never appeared here. Amidst the snowy ground, only Long Yue remained, undergoing a body evolution.

    Shua!

    Power swirled around him as hepleted his evolution!

    His heart was overwhelmed by emotion!

    From today onward, his new identity would be the heir of the giant dragon. Those people such as Chen Feng and Qin Hai and even the Long Yue of the past were merely things that he would surpass!

    "Hahahahaha! Let me take a look at my present prowess!"

    Howl¡ª

    Long Yue tried activating the power of a dragon.

    However...

    It couldn¡¯t be found!

    ??

    Confused, Long Yue started observing his own body. Immediately, his expression changed abruptly. This was because he had rmingly found that the entire dragon¡¯s bloodline in his body had disappeared! Only a never-before-seen bloodline was left coursing within him!

    Could it be...

    With an unbelieving expression, Long Yue continued studying this bloodline.

    That¡¯s right, he had indeed inherited a formidable bloodline. That old man had indeed reconstructed his bloodline. However, that old man¡¯s good friend, the one who had seemingly died a very long time ago, was simply not a giant dragon. Rather, it was the owner of that lizard skull they had been lugging around earlier!

    In other words... he was now a lizard??

    After a long time, a bitter shout soared up to the heavens.

    "Old man, f*ck you!"

 Chapter 239: Improve!

    Chapter 239: Improve!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng and the rest returned to Star City. His sess in bringing Qin Hai back kicked off a huge uproar. Online, countless people were discussing this. Currently, Chen Feng was summarizing his gains during this period.

    1. Luck Aura¡¯s upgrade!

    His present Luck Aura had be much more powerful after undergoing two upgrades. Whether it was Lockdown or rm, both worked much better now.

    2. Methods of using Energy Equipment.

    With Lady Xiao Yue¡¯s help, Chen Feng¡¯sbat power had increased significantly after learning two unique methods of operating Energy Equipment: body separation and self-eruption! When used in tandem with his Myriad Illusionary Wind de, which was capable of unleashing a multitude of different gic abilities, Chen Feng was now capable of nearly everything!

    Hisbat power had now increased significantly!

    Naturally, these methods had only given him a multipurpose power and a formidablebat power. However, the moment he faced a power that exceeded what he could presently handle, he would still be helpless.

    For example: B ss!

    "If I were to go all out, I should be able to reach a power equivalent to a C ss," Chen Feng deducted.

    He himself was already a middle tier D ss. With 3,000 points of spiritual energy and an Energy Equipment assembled by his Myriad Illusionary Wind de, hisbat power would reach C ss, giving him the ability to skip his current D ss to challenge those of C ss!

    However, this was far from enough for him.

    He inhaled deeply.

    C ss? In a true war, C sses were mere cannon fodder!

    He thought of the recent Frozen Sea Tundra incident. Even the A-ss Lei Hao had suffered great damage, and the A-ss Ye Tong¡¯s face had been disfigured. Apart from that, countless B ss and C ss had been lost!

    Next, he thought of the uing Star City battle...

    Chen Feng closed his eyes. The apocalypse-like scene once again reappeared in his mind.

    That darkness...

    That grief...

    That petite silhouette blocking in front of him, and also the ultimate destruction of Star City!

    "Time..." Chen Feng muttered.

    He did not have much time left!

    In a single year, he had to reach A ss! Only by reaching A ss could he qualify to have an impact on the uing war! Regardless of defeat or victory, at the very least, he would be qualified to partake in the war!

    At least, he would not need Wang Yao to block in front of him!

    And if he wanted to reach A ss, he needed to break through at least one tier per month!

    High tier D ss, peak D ss, breaking through into C ss, middle tier C ss, high tier C ss...peak B ss, and breaking through into A ss! A total 11 tiers for him to break through!

    That final A-ss breakthrough would be extremely difficult!

    Under normal circumstances, this was simply an impossible mission!

    To break through any one of these tiers, even if it was a tier of D ss, it would be verymon for someone to take one whole year. Now, Chen Feng was actually aiming to break through 11 tiers in a single year?

    This was simply a pipe dream! Something no one would believe!

    Naturally, Chen Feng did not need the belief of others.

    He had only taken several months to be the current him, which was a master producer who was well known throughout the world, from a mere student who did not have anything. Was this a feat anyone else could aplish?

    His very existence was a miracle in itself!

    If so, his new goal was now clear.

    His eyes started shining. Within this month, he had to charge to high-tier D ss from his current middle tier D ss! In other words, his 3,000 points of spiritual energy needed to reach 6,000 points!

    Even though this was an incredibly difficult feat, that did not necessarily mean that he had zero chance of aplishing it.

    "Gene strengthening!"

    This was the first thought that crossed his mind. By means of hunting mutated beasts, he could increase his attributes. This was something nearly impossible for other producers. However, when it came to Chen Feng, this was something extremely simple.

    His target: timber roons!

    After preparing a bunch of gene reagents and his Peril Rebirth, Chen Feng set out to improve himself.

    Time passed quietly.

    For the whole month, Chen Feng struggled arduously.

    For the whole month, Chen Feng transcended sses to challenge those of a higher ss.

    Gene strengthening using timber roons was much harder than Chen Feng had imagined.

    The first difficulty was due to the attribute selection.

    The dangers of gene strengthening were not only due to the mutated beasts that moved in groups, there was also the aspect of attribute selection. If the attribute of the chosen beast was too much higher than his own, it would be extremely dangerous. This was even more so the case for Chen Feng, who had an extremely high spirit attribute, whereas his other attributes wereparatively low.

    Even for a timber roon with 3,000 points of spirit attribute, their other attributes would be at a range of 500 to 600 points. However, an ordinary gic warrior¡¯s secondary attributes would be incredibly lowpared to their main attribute.

    Hence, he not only needed to select a mutated beast with a spirit attribute 1 to 100 points higher than his, the other three secondary attributes of the chosen mutated beast needed to be only a bit higher than his as well.

    This was an extremely difficult thing to achieve.

    Initially, Chen Feng had believed that, with his Luck Aura locking onto those timber roons, it would be extremely easy for him. However, he had never expected that his actual enemy would be the huge amount of timber roon hunters!

    With great difficulty, he finally locked onto a timber roon. However, when he arrived, the timber roon had already been killed by others!

    There were also several times where he finally found a suitable timber roon with great difficulty only to find that the timber roon he¡¯d found was actually a corpse that was on a grill with condiments all over its body and the smell of spice drifting through the air...

    That very moment, his feeling was something that words couldn¡¯t describe.

    After going through this month of hardship, Chen Feng was now looking wan and jaundiced. Fortunately, he had still managed to reach his goal before the end of the month.

    Naturally, luck value and the endless spiritual energy replenishment items supplied to him by the Gene Production Association yed a role in this as well. Energy exhaustion was not a problem he needed to worry about.

    Improving!

    Improving!

    Improving!

    Chen Feng was extremely clear on what his goal was.

    Finally, in a month, he reached high-tier D ss!

    ----

    Spirit attribute: 6,000 points

    Physique attribute: 1,000 points

    Agility attribute: 1,000 points

    Strength attribute: 1,000 points

    ----

    His initial target had been reached!

    Chen Feng exhaled in relief. "I can finally leave this damnable ce."

    He nced at the timber roon¡¯s habitat that was filled with human.

    Everywhere, people were shouting, recruiting for scouts for their timber roon hunting squad. The reason for him leaving was mainly due to timber roons being too weak for him now.

    Not all timber roons would mutate, and not all timber roons would be as powerful as a timber roon leader.

    Hence, the limit for an ordinary timber roon¡¯s spirit attribute would be 6,000 points. Chen Feng had been looking for two days, yet not a single suitable mutated beast could be found.

    Going forward, he could only rely on himself!

    His next goal: reaching peak D ss from high-tier D ss!

    Based on the official standards, he needed to increase his 6,000 points of spirit attribute to 9,000 points. Once again, a 3,000 point increase was required. For the current Chen Feng that could no longer perform gene strengthening, this was simply too difficult!

    The time limit for him was still the same: one month.

    For 11 tiers, 12 months were allocated for himself. Apart from the two months allocated for the A-ss breakthrough, the other tiers needed to be broken through in one month each!

    This was the limit he¡¯d set for himself!

    Only with this could he reach A ss before the Star City war!

    Only with this could he be stronger! If he couldn¡¯t even aplish all this...

    Chen Feng shook his head.

    He started preparing for his next breakthrough. At the same time, he received Hou Liang¡¯s transmission. The affairs concerning Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s identity and the Frozen Sea Tundra incident had been handled ordingly.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed. "It¡¯s done?"

    Due to Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s special identity, both her and Qin Hai had been kept at Star City as they waited for the investigation result pertaining to the mysterious organization.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng turned his screen on.

    The first message he received was: "The investigation on Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s identity waspleted. Qin Hai has received special approval to enter the Gene Production Association¡¯s headquarters. Despite the fact that Chen Feng has notpleted any mission this time around, due to his outstanding contribution, a special reward shall be awarded to him."

    "Another reward?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

 Chapter 240: Alarming change

    Chapter 240: rming change

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the main building of the Gene Production Association, Chen Feng collected his reward, a reward normally allotted forpletion of the highest-ranked missions.

    This was a special reward. As Chen Feng had not epted any mission this time, it had been ssified as a unique contribution to the organization. Hence, this reward had not been sent to him directly. That, coupled with the rules of the association, meant the reward he received was limited to the reward for the highest-ranked mission he could ept at his present rank.

    "Your current rank..." The staff member nked. "Master producer?"

    That¡¯s right! Master producer! Chen Feng was merely a D ss. Hence, the level of missions one could receive at this rank were quite low. However, his previous master producer¡¯s certification had instead increased the level of missions he could now ept. As such, the level of missions he could currently ept was extremely high.

    Hence...

    Shua!

    Reward allotted to him: any chosen C-ss form x1.

    "C ss! Any chosen form!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s emotions surged. He was too clear on the weight of this reward. The crux was not the C ss or the stars of the form. The crux was the "any chosen form" in the reward description! With this, he would be able to make his selection as he wished from the huge gene bank, choosing his very own strongest gene, selecting the strongest form!

    Back then, for a single mission with "any chosen D-ss form" as the reward, Chen Feng had had to confront the dark freak, threading on the edge of death. This time, he had surprisingly received an "any chosen C-ss form" as the reward for histest contribution.

    This was a pleasant surprise for him!

    "Any chosen form..."

    Chen Feng licked his dry lips. With this, the fusion gene reagent he would require after breaking through into C ss was thus settled!

    Granted, he had not yet reached the limit of D-ss, nor had he broken through. However, getting his hands on the fusion form in advance would serve as a confidence booster for him.

    Now he could put his full focus on increasing his strength before proceeding to break through directly into C ss! His eyes shone.

    Naturally, the main reason for such a glorious reward he gained was due to Zuo Xiao Rou, the assassin of that mysterious organization! Due to Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s defection and arrival at Star City with Qin Hai, their side had obtained more information pertaining to that mysterious organization. This was considered a type of contribution.

    "The male seduction trick is actually so useful," Chen Fengmented. "If only you had known this earlier, Qin Hai, you could have..."

    "Scram!" Qin Hai red at him. What a troublemaker!

    "You are here." Hou Liang smiled when he saw their arrival and said, "Come with me."

    "All right."

    They followed him.

    Surprisingly, despite the smile on Hou Liang¡¯s face, a tinge of helplessness could be seen on it as well. It seemed like something was wrong.

    "Something happened?" Qin Hai whispered.

    "Probably." Chen Feng sunk into a solemn mood. Could this be rted to that incident that was about to happen in a year?

    "I knew I wouldn¡¯t be able to keep this a secret from you two." Hou Liang sighed and paused before he continued, "This is rted to Lady Xiao Rou."

    Oh?

    Chen Feng and Qin Hai were curious.

    Xiao Rou... Could there be some problem with her?

    Only when they reached the monitoring cabin and once again saw Xiao Rou did they find out what the problem was.

    The whole cabin was in a mess. Several rooms had been destroyed. There were even several injured people there, howling in grief while Zuo Xiao Rou was chained onto a chair by a multitude of shackles.

    What happened?

    Chen Feng¡¯s and Qin Hai¡¯s expression changed greatly. Just as they were about to ask Hou Liang about this, Zuo Xiao Rou raised her head. When they met her gaze, the familiar gentleness was nowhere to be seen. Instead, only an ice-cold killing intent could be felt.

    Her icy gazended on them. "Who are you?"

    Qin Hai was stunned. "Have you forgotten me?"

    "Who are you?" Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s expression was ice cold. "Hmph hmph, are you someone from the Gene Production Association? Interesting... Although I have no idea what methods you guys employed to capture me... don¡¯t hope to get any information from me," Zuo Xiao Rou said coldly.

    ??

    Qin Hai and Chen Feng nked.

    Memory loss?

    They shifted their gaze toward Hou Liang. This guy here couldn¡¯t have used some extreme interrogation method on her, right?

    "Don¡¯t look at me that way." Hou Liang rolled his eyes. "Lady Xiao Rou was a guest here. Every day, she woulde here on time to talk to us. Who would dare to extort a confession out of her? Every interrogation was supervised. If you want, you can watch the surveince recordings at any time. However, this time around, when we started talking about that organization, this happened."

    Is that so? Qin Hai looked into her eyes. There, only endless killing intent weed him. What happened to her...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng said, "Lady Xiao Yue will be extremely disappointed if she finds out you are acting this way."

    "Xiao Yue?" Zuo Xiao Rou frowned. "Who¡¯s that?"

    Chen Feng and Qin Hai exchanged nces as an odd feeling crept up their hearts. She did not remember Xiao Yue? Had she lost all her memories? But she clearly still remembered that organization...

    Why?

    Was this due to the battle at the snow tundra?

    Suddenly, Qin Hai¡¯s heart ached. Recently, he had mingled around frequently with Xiao Rou. This foolish youngdy had always foolishly stayed by his side. But now...

    Even if he did not feel any sort of romance toward Xiao Rou, he could not allow her to stay in this condition! This foolish youngdy had only turned out this way as a cost of saving him...

    No! Nope! Qin Hai roared inwardly. He would not allow Lady Xiao Rou to stay this way! Based on what Zuo Xiao Rou had said previously, it had taken her three whole years to transform herself from an ice-cold killing machine into a normal human being. How had she turned back into the previous her?

    Is it due to memory loss?

    Qin Hai had a resolute expression. Although he would not give her his body to thank her, the fact remained that this youngdy had saved him. He would not allow her to stay in this condition!

    Qin Hai held her hand. "Xiao Rou, look at me."

    Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s gaze swirled around before finallynding on Qin Hai¡¯s eyes. Suddenly, a tinge of emotion seemed to appear within.

    Qin Hai¡¯s emotions surged. "You remember me?"

    "No, there is some gums in your eyes," Zuo Xiao Rou said indifferently.

    Qin Hai: "..."

    "If you guys are trying to use the male seduction trick on me," a smile appeared on Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s face as she pointed at the Chen Feng that was standing there doing nothing, "I prefer that kind of youngster. You are too old for my liking."

    Qin Hai was dumbstruck.

    Ol-old?

    Chen Feng¡¯s mouth twitched.

    Wait. Old?

    He looked at that awfully serious expression of Zuo Xiao Rou and abruptly asked, "Lady Xiao Rou, we won¡¯t be asking you about the organization. Can you at least tell us how old are you this year?"

    "Me? 15 years old!" she said indifferently.

    Her delicate-looking face appeared extremely serious. She did not seem to be faking it.

    However, everyone else was immediately rmed.

    Fifteen years old?

    This...

    They continued asking a bunch of questions before finally confirming the fact that Zuo Xiao Rou had indeed lost her memories! A whole three years worth of memories were gone! And this had happened here! Within this Star City, the holynd of gene producers!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Was this caused by someone else, or..."

    "Doesn¡¯t seem so." Hou Liang shook his head. "Due to her unique identity, every single movement of hers in Star City was supervised at all times. So far, no one has made any moves on her! For her to behave this way..." Hou Liang contemted. "This looks more like the work of some mysterious restriction! When her words and thoughts touched upon a certain topic... that topic acted as the trigger for the restriction to activate on her, causing her to lose her memory."

    So that¡¯s the case.

    Everyone came to a sudden realization.

    That¡¯s right! This might be the very reason that organization had remained unknown after so many years! This was also the only way they could maintain their mysteriousness!

    Quickly, everyone understood what had happened.

    However, when they once again performed a scan on Zuo Xiao Rou, an even more astonishing thing was discovered. Based on the data, the age of Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s physical body was indeed currently 15 years old! The Zuo Xiao Rou before their eyes was genuinely 15 years old!

    Hua!

    Their expressions changed greatly.

 Chapter 241: Genetic Unionâ€™s Plan

    Chapter 241: Gic Union¡¯s n

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    What actually happened? Nobody had any idea. None of them had ever expected something so meddlesome to happen during a seemingly ordinary questioning session. For an issue to crop up with Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s body age and memories...

    "Is it possible that she was lying about her age previously?" Chen Feng asked.

    Qin Hai rejected that firmly. "No."

    Even if he had never met Zuo Xiao Rou before, he was nevertheless somewhat familiar with her information. She was indeed 18 years old this year, so how had this 15-year-old body appeared? When they took a good look at her...

    "Do you all not notice that she seems tinier now?" someone said suddenly.

    Chen Feng studied her and felt like that was indeed the case. "Her tits got smaller..."

    Hou Liang¡¯s expression changed slightly. "Surveince recording!"

    Shua!

    The surveince recording of Zuo Xiao Rou before this had happened was taken out.

    There, a more mature version of Zuo Xiao Rou could be clearly seen. In the video, she was still a youngdy. However, her physical appearance was obviously more maturepared to now. In the video, just as their conversation touched upon a certain previous encounter of hers...

    She hesitated momentarily before she suddenly started raging.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "It¡¯s here!"

    Shua!

    That single second was split into countless frames before they could finally see that Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s body had, within a single second, turned younger!

    That was... the power of time!

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone inhaled a mouthful of cold breath.

    There truly existed someone in this world who had grasped to the power of time? Moreover, that power was triggered merely because Zuo Xiao Rou had encountered and seen something.

    This is truly...

    What had she seen?

    Everyone was rmed. They knew that this mysterious organization was probably hiding an even more terrifying secret.

    In the end, Zuo Xiao Rou was kept behind. Even after showing her the surveince recordings multiple times to prove what they were telling her, she still refused to believe what they said. Hence, the association had no choice but to put her under a temporary house arrest. Despite the term house arrest being used, in fact, everything Zuo Xiao Rou wanted was still given to her as before. The only difference was her restricted freedom for safety reasons.

    "I will cure you," Qin Hai said seriously.

    "This uncle here, using an old male to seduce me won¡¯t work." Zuo Xiao Rou was very serious as well.

    Qin Hai: "..."

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    Naturally, despite this issue with Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s body, from their casual chat, they had still managed to obtain some new information pertaining to that organization.

    For example: the name!

    "What is their name?" Qin Hai¡¯s killing intent surged. Sooner orter, he would root out this sinister organization.

    Hou Liang sighed. "Mysterious Organization."

    "I know. My question is, what¡¯s their name?" Qin Hai asked.

    "..."

    Hou Liang paused before, with a forced smile on his face, he said, "Their name is Mysterious Organization."

    Shua!

    The mood seemed to freeze. Chen Feng¡¯s mouth twitched. He finally understood why they had failed to even get a clue on the name of that organization after all this while. So the fact was this wasn¡¯t due to their failures during investigation. Rather, it was a name that even if it was spelled out to them, they would still not imagine that this was the actual name of the organization! They had always believed that this was simply a nickname.

    "What a bunch of scammers." Chen Feng was too tired to even berate this. What stupid name is this?

    "Mysterious Organization..." Qin Hai muttered.

    From the moment the Qin family had been destroyed, he¡¯d had an unresolved grudge toward this organization. Coupled with the present Zuo Xiao Rou incident, he vowed to not let this organization off!

    "Wait." Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s vignce red up. "Since Xiao Rou didn¡¯t reveal any information regarding that organization, why are you guys rewarding me?"

    He simply knew Hou Liang too well! Previously, this guy had been using the dark freak to trick him, telling him all those things like "saving the world" and the like. What had the end result been? That so-called dark freak was simply something insignificant in the grand scheme of things!

    "Cough cough," Hou Liang coughed. "Am I such a scammer?"

    "What do you think?" Chen Feng looked at him in rm. "Let me tell you this in advance. Since I have already taken the reward, I will not return it."

    Hou Liang: "..."

    "We won¡¯t take it back from you." Hou Liang¡¯s face darkened. "Regardless of what happened to Zuo Xiao Rou, at the very least, it will appear to outsiders that we have found out everything from her! We are giving our enemy a false impression. Putting on such an act is still something we need to do."

    So that¡¯s the case.

    Chen Feng was enlightened. Putting on a y? This was something he was good at.

    "Naturally, as for you..." Hou Liang paused, "There¡¯s a new mission."

    "I reject it!" Chen Feng rejected without a slightest trace of politeness.

    Hou Liang: "..."

    This... Chen Feng wasn¡¯t giving him any face at all!

    Qin Haiughed as he signaled Chen Feng with his eyes: "At least listen about it?"

    "Fine." Chen Feng shrugged. "Then, Old Man Hou, which world crisis is happening this time that requires our rescue? Or perhaps some demon king has been born?"

    This damn kid...

    Hou Liang rolled his eyes. However, since they were now talking about the mission, he recovered his seriousness.

    "This mission is somewhat unique. It is not a mission of our Gene Production Association. Instead, it is a support mission sent to us from the Gic Union," Hou Liang said seriously.

    Gic Union?

    Chen Feng¡¯s interest was piqued.

    "Do you still remember that, previously, we applied to initiate an operation to rescue Qin Hai? Although you returned with him, after one month of discussion, the Gic Union decided to go ahead with the operation, the target being Frozen Sea Tundra! They are nning to explore and develop the entire snow tundra and build a brand new camp there!" Hou Liang said with an overcast tone.

    At this, the hearts of Chen Feng and the rest trembled. New camp? The type of camp where one could reach with a single Ironcloud ride, the type where one could go out for explorations at any time?

    But... how was that possible? To develop a new camp, the danger level had to be ascertained first.

    For example, Dragon¡¯s Passing Mountain: Clear details of the legends surrounding that area, the sses of the mutated beasts there, and the danger zones there, all this information had to be investigated thoroughly. One had to know that the unknown would always be the scariest thing!

    Even for the area with the lowest danger level, one had to also first figure out what existed within that area. This was the core requirement for the formation of a Gic Union camp! Things such as which areas were suitable for the exploration of those in A ss and which areas were suitable for the exploration of those in E ss, etc, these all needed to be figured out.

    Why had they failed to build a camp at a forbidden area all this while? The reason was simple. Due to the unknown dangers there! One would never know precisely how dangerous that ce was! At a ce where even an A ss might die at any moment, it was simply impossible for ordinary people to survive there!

    Opening up the Frozen Sea Tundra for humanity?

    Was that possible?

    Within that frozen sea were countless unknown life forms. An example would be those elusive huge life forms... he was simply too clear on the dangers of that ce!

    "Hence, the assistance of you guys is required." Hou Liang looked at Chen Feng. "Anything pertaining to the snow tundra can be left to the Gic Union. Regardless of how powerful those life forms are, they are, after all, still living beings! However, as for the frozen sea, those unknown regions within the sea are something even the Gic Union is helpless against. Hence, this will have to rely on you, as only you are able to remain safe and sound under the water."

    Earnestly, Hou Liang dangled the carrot. "Naturally, for this unique joint mission, an astonishing reward will be issued by them. If you are interested... Think about it. It will be the same as how it was when you brought Qin Hai back. Just bring Qin Hai along and take a vacation under the sea... Mhm, see how simple this is? You only need to record whatever you see down there! If it is ascertained that there are no formidable life forms residing down there, we can directly freeze the whole frozen sea, transforming that ce into an area of exploration where humans can walk!"

    Hou Liang inhaled deeply.

    Freezing it! This was the same fashion in which the Ice River had been handled back then! This was also the most optimal method of dealing with it. Naturally, this was with the premise that there were no overly formidable life forms residing underneath the sea. Otherwise, the barrier painstakingly erected by the Gic Union would simply be reduced to a joke.

    Hence, for this mission, Chen Feng¡¯s help was required.

    "Let me think about it," Chen Feng muttered.

    If it was the frozen sea, with his current capabilities, if he were to only observe the type of life forms down there, it shouldn¡¯t pose too much trouble. Most importantly, regardless of the Gic Union or Gene Production Association, the rewards issued for a mission of this magnitude would not becking. This was especially true for the rewards issued by the Gic Union!

    Since the main focus of the Gic Union was to improve one¡¯sbat prowess, the reward would probably be...

    Chen Feng was tempted. "Fine, I ept this mission."

    "Good." Hou Liang was gratified. "Then prepare to go underwater."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Why does this sentence feels so weird... I seem to recall that the term go underwater is also used for a certain profession 1 ?

 Chapter 242: Old Acquaintance

    Chapter 242: Old Acquaintance

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The next day, Chen Feng formally went underwater.

    In an unexpected twist, as this news was released to the public, it raised an uproar on the inte. Countless people were requesting links.

    "Do you know what go underwater 1 means?"

    "No."

    "Chen Feng went underwater."

    "What, he¡¯s filming that stuff?"

    "..."

    Simr conversations were happening everywhere.

    Fortunately, the new camp project of the Gic Union was announced soon after. With that, the public found out that Chen Feng was actually going underwater as an explorer to reconnoiter the terrain there. Finer details of the project were not announced for now.

    "So it¡¯s this version of ¡¯went underwater¡¯ they were referring to."

    "The Gic Union is opening a new camp?"

    "I¡¯m totally looking forward to that!"

    Everyone¡¯s emotions surged. This was one of those pieces of news that couldn¡¯t be kept secret even if they wanted it to be, as the Frozen Sea Tundra was currently under the attention of a lot of people due to the Qin Hai incident.

    Currently, countless experts of the Gic Union were flooding the Frozen Sea Tundra, creating quite a scene there! Without a care about the Mysterious Organization, they blockaded the entirety of the huge frozen sea. Countless experts surrounded the sea, providing the most optimal environment for Chen Feng to go underwater.

    In actuality, the Gic Union had long ago developed a submarine that could survive the dissolving power of this frozen sea. However, their biggest problem was the fact that these submarines they¡¯d developed would be attacked after going underwater.

    After all, these submarines were alien existences for the life forms in the frozen sea. Moreover, some of them even viewed these submarines as threats!

    Hence, that bizarre purple energy of Chen Feng¡¯s had now be extremely useful. To be safe, this time around, Chen Feng would be using a true miniature submarine to go underwater. All sorts of monitoring tools and essential items for daily life had already been prepared in the submarine. Apart from that, an endless supply of energy would be supplied to Chen Feng. The only thing Chen Feng needed to do was use his purple energy to keep this submarine safe.

    Initially, Chen Feng had been nning to bring Qin Hai along. However, as this mission wasn¡¯t issued to Qin Hai, he wouldn¡¯t be receiving any rewards for his participation, and he wouldn¡¯t be of much help anyway, Qin Hai had ultimately decided to stay back and continue trying to change Zuo Xiao Rou¡¯s mind instead.

    Naturally, based on her current circumstance, the more urate term for what Qin Hai was attempting was instigating a rebellion against the Mysterious Organization.

    Chen Feng alone had enough tasks to keep him busy. Besides that, he was truly not well versed on the operation of a submarine. Hence, the Gic Union had arranged for additional manpower to go down with Chen Feng. However, exceeding all of Chen Feng¡¯s expectations, the additional manpower sent to him was actually his old friend!

    "Xu Fei?"

    Chen Feng was somewhat dumbstruck.

    Why would this guy be here?!

    He had initially believed that he would never have a chance to cross paths with Xu Fei¡¯s group ever again.

    "Hehe." Xu Fei was behaving somewhat awkwardly. Only after some casual chatter did Xu Fei tell him what had happened.

    So it turned out that, after going his separate way from Chen Feng previously, he¡¯d felt that his strength had been too weak and his speed of improvement too slow. Hence, he¡¯d started crying for help by pestering his family without stop. Since his family was still considerably wealthy, they had finally exhausted countless financial resources to help Xu Fei join the Gic Union as an employee in the hope that he would have some fortuitous encounter in the process.

    Normally, he wouldn¡¯t get any chances to do anything. However, for this mission, everyone else was unwilling toe and take such a risk. As such, he¡¯d managed to grab a spot in this mission.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    What could he say to this? This guy had truly pushed himself hard.

    "You actually regrew your hair."

    Surprising Chen Feng, after a while of not seeing Xu Fei, some hair had actually grown on that bald head of Xu Fei¡¯s. Currently, it greatly resembled a military-style short cut.

    Xu Fei was feeling proud. "I have finally broken the curse your family¡¯s loli cast on me!"

    "Be careful lest you got burned once again," Chen Feng said petntly.

    Xu Fei responded with an awkwardugh: "Hehe."

    Soon, the Gic Union finished their preparations.

    ng!

    ng!

    One after another, huge apparatuses of the Gic Union were ced near the frozen sea.

    Hum¡ª

    A multitude of light screens appeared. On these screens was all the data those apparatuses detected.

    "Data matching..."

    "Matchingplete."

    "Submarine inspection..."

    "Inspectionplete."

    "Test recording..."

    "Testplete."

    ...

    One green light after another lit up.

    Finally, all the tests were passed.

    "Everything is operating normally. We can start."

    "Good!"

    "Hua¡ª"

    The submarine split the water apart as Chen Feng started sinking underwater within that submarine. Just as those from the Gic Union had said, this submarine indeed survived the dissolving power of the sea.

    "Is this built using special materials?" Chen Feng contemted.

    However, just to be safe, he still enveloped the submarine with ayer of purple energy. The submarine would provide their daily life necessities, whereas Chen Feng would be responsible for the submarine¡¯s safety under the sea.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The purple submarine started sinking. Some life forms of the frozen sea saw this and chose to get out of the way hastily as a response.

    Evidently, as far as they were concerned, that purple radiance was something they should not touch.

    Hum¡ª

    The recorder was turned on. Within the submarine, a screen was linked with those from the Gic Union. Their signals were perfectly aligned, and with that, everyone above could clearly see what was underwater.

    Shua!

    A map was opened.

    A small part of the map was painted in blue, while the rest was all in ck.

    "The blue part is the area we have probed." Xu Fei pointed at the map and read the records he had. "Only 10% of the area has been probed so far. For this 10% progress alone, it cost us several tens of submarines..."

    "Is that so?" Chen Feng contemted.

    Hua¡ª

    The submarine started approaching the areas that had yet to be probed.

    Hum!

    Hum!

    A noiseless undtion dispersed around the submarine. Everywhere it passed, its vicinity would be fully recorded. On the map, it could be seen that the blue area was increasing without stop.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Their progress increased without stop.

    Fifteen percent...

    Twenty percent...

    Twenty-five percent...

    At the Gic Union, countless people were eximing in admiration, "This is fast."

    They had tried increasing their progress countless times in the past. Even when they had been extremely careful, every single trip of theirs had always been filled with difficulty. A single carelessness and they would be smashed away by some life form of the frozen sea. Moreover, casualties would also arise from any slight carelessness.

    As for Chen Feng, none of these were a concern.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The progress increased without stop.

    C-ss life form...

    B-ss life form...

    C-ss life form...

    One alien life form after another was recorded. What gave everyone a relief was the fact that despite these detected life forms being powerful, they had yet to reach a level so powerful they couldn¡¯t be contended against.

    The only reason these life forms could be so vicious was due to this being the frozen sea. Among them, the strongest were merely peak B-ss!

    It could be concluded that this was a ce that they could afford to develop for humanity!

    Eighty percent...

    Eighty-five percent...

    "We¡¯ll seed soon." Everyone was emotional. The forbidden area that they had coveted for many years was about to be opened up to them. Currently, within the sea, Chen Feng and Xu Fei were controlling the submarine as they headed toward the deepest area underwater that were previously unexplored. That was the final 10% of the map.

    Hua¡ª

    The water noiselessly split apart as the submarine swam through.

    Bang!

    Suddenly, a dazzling radiance appeared. An immense pair of eyes that resembled antern opened at the seabed, and their gazended on the submarine.

    "Not good."

    Immediately, the expressions of Chen Feng and Xu Fei changed greatly.

    They had been discovered!

    Xu Fei had a solemn expression. "Be careful."

    He had seen the records of the previous attempts by the Gic Union. Every single casualty they had suffered previously had happened after being discovered by the life forms of the frozen sea. He had initially believed that this would not happen this time. Had Chen Feng¡¯s purple energy failed?

    "This thing..." Chen Feng had an ominous feeling.

    The purple energy was supposed to be extremely effective against the life forms of the frozen sea. As long as they were a life form of the frozen sea, they would definitely avoid this thing. That was because it was ingrained in their brains that this thing here was simr to those reefs of this sea. For life forms not of the frozen sea, this purple energy would bepletely ineffective.

    That¡¯s right. Life forms not of the frozen sea! Finally, the body of that terrifying huge pair of eyes appeared. When they get a clear look at it, they found that it was actually a huge tortoise with light swirling all over its body.

    Chen Feng inhaled a mouthful of cold air. "It¡¯s him."

    Duma!

    That damnable huge tortoise! It had actually appeared at this ce!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the Gic Union, everyone watched from their screen as the submarine advanced without stop. Just as the progress reached 90%, against everyone¡¯s expectations, a crisis appeared. That gigantic red glow and that terrifying size...

    "Something is going to happen!"

    Their expressions changed greatly.

    This ce was filled with experts. If this was any other ce, they could simply smash that tortoise¡¯s shell anytime they wanted. However, the current crisis was taking ce underneath the frozen sea! That was a ce where they would not be of much help!

    As of now, the only thing they could do was pray that Chen Feng and Xu Fei would be able to escape sessfully. They were all anxious. Currently, from the screen, it could be seen that the tortoise was approaching the submarine.

    Xu Fei was horrified. "What damnable thing is this?"

    "Stop!" Chen Fengmanded abruptly.

    Shua!

    Immediately, the submarine halted all activity and floated amid the water. They were hoping that with this, that huge tortoise would overlook them. However, from the seemingly lively eyes of that tortoise, it appeared that this tortoise was in a deep thought about something.

    Suddenly, the gaze from that pair of eyes seemed to pierce through the submarine and theyer of purple energy to directlynd on Chen Feng! It had discovered Chen Feng!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed. "Damn it." I¡¯ve been found out!

    At that instant, he could vividly feel that a terrifying power abruptly started throbbing within his heart. That seemed to be the exact moment the tortoise¡¯s gaze locked onto him.

    "Go!" Chen Feng said without the slightest hesitation.

    "All right." Xu Fei hastily activated the submarine.

    Bang!

    Transforming into a purple sh, the submarine streaked away and vanished noiselessly.

    However, with a loud sound, that huge tortoise caught up to them easily in a split second.

    Xu Fei¡¯s soul chilled. "What damnable speed is this?"

    "Bang!"

    The gigantic body of that tortoise smashed into their submarine.

    ng!

    ng!

    The submarine shook without stop and the screen in the submarine blinked unceasingly. The people from the Gic Union could only watch on as this happened. They were so nervous it was as if some invisible hand was gripping their hearts. Subsequently, after another impactful collision into the submarine by the tortoise, the screen that was hovering midair darkened.

    The connection had been severed! Their hearts thumped.

    Something happened! What should we do?

    They exchanged nces, nk expressions on their faces.

    So the act of opening up the Frozen Sea Tundra for humanity was a feat that was out of their present capability after all? They stared at the distant frozen sea. Chen Feng and Xu Fei were obviously in a crisis, but that huge tortoise was obviously not too powerful; however, none of them were capable of going down there!

    The person in charge of this mission abruptly said, "Dispatch another submarine over here."

    "What?"

    Everyone else was shocked. There was clearly a huge tortoise in there...

    "Bring ourtest torpedo over here as well." The person in charge had a vicious expression on his face. "Despite something happening to Chen Feng and Xu Fei, they nevertheless still brought us valuable information pertaining to this sea. At the very least, 90% of the map has been properly examined. If there¡¯s only this single damnable old tortoise in the remaining 10% region of the sea, I will ensure that this tortoise will pay dearly!"

    "Roger!"

    Everyone else sunk into a solemn mood.

    "We had an escape mode installed on the submarine. Hopefully, they are safe."

    Everyone prayed.

    Currently, at the depths of the frozen sea, the tortoise was still furiously knocking against the submarine. The damage dealt to the recording device was merely the start. Everything within the submarine¡¯s interior had been messed up. Even Chen Feng and Xu Fei were dizzy from all the knocking around.

    That tortoise was knocking against the submarine without stop.

    "Damn it."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply as he calmed his mind.

    Ding¡ª

    Ding¡ª

    Red light blinked.

    "Energy crisis. Rmended to activate escape mode now," an ice-cold mechanical voice prompted.

    "What¡¯s an escape mode?" Chen Feng asked.

    "That thing is not much help here." Xu Fei smiled bitterly. "That was a mode where all the energy of the submarine would be condensed to shoot the inner cabin of the submarine out. Theoretically, this mode is capable of shooting us straight to the shore. But currently," Xu Fei paused, sighing, "we¡¯re too deep underwater."

    Their depth was not the only issue. There was also the endless amount of life forms in this frozen sea that would pose them problems.

    Here, the usefulness of the escape mode was severely restricted.

    Without Chen Feng¡¯s purple energy, the inner cabin traveling at a high speed under escape mode would simply be crushed by the life forms here. Furthermore, the amount of energy left to them was simply not sufficient to send them to the shore all the way from their current depth.

    On top of that, would this damnable tortoise here let them off easily?

    "Escape mode!"

    Xu Fei tried simting the escape.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    More than ten escape routes were shown by the system. After analysis, the system projected that all these routes would end up in failure.

    The probability of them dying was 98%.

    Now there was simply no way out for them.

    Routes?

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes moved rapidly.

    Shua!

    His Luck Aura was activated.

    It was simply too simple if all he required was to select a route for the escape mode to use. One point of luck value should be sufficient for this. However, this chosen direction...

    Chen Feng looked at the direction pointed out by Luck Aura. That was the deepest region of the frozen sea, the final 5% unexplored region.

    "Xu Fei!" Chen Feng inhaled. "There!"

    Xu Feiughed viciously. "All right."

    Since Chen Feng was a person who was very good at creating miracles, in situations such as their current circumstance, he had zero doubts about Chen Feng. He directly set the route toward the direction Chen Feng had pointed at.

    Bang!

    The submarine exploded. Like an artillery shell, the miniature inner cabin shot out. Only Chen Feng and Xu Fei were contained within the cabin.

    Bang!

    The cabin shot forth, kicking off a powerful current as it sliced through the water.

    The inner cabin shot forth and finally reached the final 5% region. As for Chen Feng and Xu Fei, they were both feeling light headed due to the intense trembling of the cabin from the high-speed travel.

    After a long time, the inner cabin stopped moving.

    "It stopped?"

    They both sunk into a solemn mood. As the inner cabin had been designed as the final safety measure, it waspletely sealed. This was even more so when they were in the depths of the frozen sea. Hence, they had no way of seeing what was happening outside the cabin.

    Where¡¯s that huge tortoise?

    Among this final 5% region, where¡¯s our lifeline? Wait.

    Chen Feng calmed himself.

    He was sure that if the huge tortoise was still around, it would definitely be knocking on the inner cabin. However, even after waiting for half an hour, they were still safe and sound. Nothing seemed to be happening outside.

    Xu Fei was pleasantly surprised. "We are safe!"

    "We should currently be at a certain location in the deepest region of frozen sea," Chen Feng guessed. "Since the huge tortoise is no longer after us and the submarine had been damaged, I will create a small submarine with my Energy Equipmentter."

    Xu Fei nodded. "All right."

    As long as that huge tortoise was not here, their crisis could be considered to have been resolved.

    However...

    "ng! ng!"

    Suddenly, a bizarre sound could be heard from outside the cabin.

    What?!

    Chen Feng¡¯s muscles tensed immediately.

    Something is out there!

    Xu Fei was anxious. "Could this be that huge tortoise?"

    Chen Feng shook his head. "I don¡¯t think so." If it was truly that tortoise, a single knock would be sufficient to smash them out of the cabin. Without the outer hull, this cabin would simply be shattered with a single knock.

    An inner cabin at this level simply couldn¡¯t resist against that tortoise¡¯s knock! Hence, this should be some ordinary life form of the frozen sea.

    "Let me produce my submarine first," Chen Feng decided promptly.

    Even if the materials used to construct the inner cabin were capable of resisting the sea¡¯s dissolving power, sooner orter, some frozen sea life form would definitely smash it apart. Hence, it was simply impossible for them to avoid danger by staying within the cabin.

    Ka!

    Ka!

    Xu Fei opened the inner cabin¡¯s door.

    Hum¡ª

    The purple energy produced through his Myriad Illusionary Wind de was ready in his hands. He had thoroughly prepared to face a battle. However, when the cabin¡¯s door was opened...he was shocked! Outside the cabin, several silhouettes were poking the cabin. When they saw Chen Feng, they were simrly shocked to the point their bodies trembled.

    Those are... humans! There are humans here?

    Abruptly, Chen Feng looked around. Along with the aroma of fresh air that assailed his nostrils, what weed his sight were buildings that were in a picturesque disorder and countless rmed gazes staring at him.

    There was actually a vige here at the depths of the frozen sea?!!!

    "You all..."

    Just as Chen Feng was about to start talking.

    "Ah ah!"

    An rmed shout interrupted him.

    Hu!

    A huge produced from unique materials appeared out of nowhere and wrapped up the inner cabin. Before Chen Feng and Xu Fei could leave the cabin, they were trapped together in the as well. Next, a multitude of people appeared, carrying forks of all shapes in their hands and eyeing Chen Feng viciously.

    "These people..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped.

    Only now did he notice that, although these people appeared human, each and every one of them was slightly differentpared to a normal human. The more urate term for these people was "mutants"!

    From the crowd, an octopus mutant with something like a centa on his head could be seen. There was also a humanoid with pink skin and a sharp head that looked like a sharpened pencil...

    All the life forms here appeared bizarre, seemingly human yet not human.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng tried using the energy in his body, but it was ineffective. This was a vige at the depths of the frozen sea, so it fell under the restriction of the frozen sea. Under the frozen sea¡¯s effect, all sorts of abilities would be dissolved before they could take any form. Hence, it was simply impossible for any abilities to be used here. Unless...

    Suddenly.

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    The huge tightened. Chen Feng and Xu Fei were directly hoisted up.

    Xu Fei was horrified. "Damn, what the heck is this?"

    Chen Feng shook his head. "God knows."

    Who could have imagined that such life forms existed at the depths of the frozen sea? He had also never expected that, after escaping from the tortoise, he would meet with another life-threatening crisis.

    These guys...

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. The only hope he could cling onto was that these people understood theirnguage.

    "Hello, hello, hello? Big brother?" Xu Fei started shooting his mouth off. "Hahaha, that pair of hands you got there looks quite interesting. It looks like a boxing glove... haha. What gene have you fused with to have this kind of mutation? Not talking? Hmm, let me take a guess... Crab? I¡¯m correct, am I right? Haha. And you, the yellow-colored guy..." Xu Fei spouted nonsense without stop.

    Surprisingly, at this moment, someone walked over and nced at him before saying coldly, "Any more nonsense from your mouth and I will sh you down right this moment."

    Xu Fei was stupefied. "Shit! You know how to talk?"

    That guy merely snorted coldly as a response. "Hmph."

    Shua!

    Shua!

    They were both carried into the vige. Chen Feng took this chance to take in the scenery there. Due to this unique geographical location, the environment here was incredibly beautiful. The vige wasn¡¯t too big, though. A faint purple-colored defensive barrier was separating the seawater from the vige. As such, the vige was not invaded by the seawater.

    But...

    Chen Feng¡¯s gazended outside the defensive barrier.

    There, at a certain spot outside the barrier, it could be clearly seen that several buildings were submerged in the seawater and had been reduced into ruins. The only reason those buildings still stood there instead of crumbling was due to the calm waves in the sea.

    Without a doubt, a slight touch or a slightly stronger wave would be sufficient to cause those buildings topletely crumble. Those structures would probably notst long.

    Chen Feng contemted.

    "Those seem newly built."

    As of now, they had already been carried to the center of the vige. The door of a building there opened and a fat old man with beard all over his face walked out. Surprisingly, resting on his shoulder was a dog¡¯s head! It greatly resembled the dog face meme 1 that had been quite popr online a while back.

    This... Chen Feng¡¯s mouth twitched. Are dogs also a life form of the sea?

    As for Xu Fei, he almost burst outughing. Hahahahaha! These mutants truly look hrious!

    However, before he couldugh out loud, that dog-head chief looked at them coldly. His next words caused Xu Fei to lose all the humor he was feeling. "Throw them out to feed it."

    "All right," everyone else answered.

    Shua!

    Xu Fei¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    Feed it? What joke was this!

    He was unsure what exactly these guys were nning. However, from that short sentence, he could see that both he and Chen Feng were now in quite a predicament. This was especially true in a situation where that huge tortoise was still out there.

    Xu Fei¡¯s heart chilled. Are they nning to feed us to that huge tortoise?

    Shua!

    A group of mutants dragged them and were about to take them out. However, right at this moment, Xu Fei suddenly said, "How much longer can your vigest?"

    Shua!

    All the mutants halted their steps.

    The dog-head chief turned his fat body around slowly and fixed his gaze at Xu Fei. "Foreigner, what do you know?"

    "Can I stand?" Xu Fei said helplessly.

    "Let him stand," the dog-head chief said.

    At that, Xu Fei was temporarily let out of the, and several forks were aimed straight at his head.

    He inhaled deeply before looking at the dog-head chief. "That¡¯s simple. I saw some dissolved ruins outside the barrier. If those were something left behind long ago, I think they would have been long gone. However, despite the fact that a portion of the buildings are indeed gone, the whole structure is still intact! This clearly means that these are newly corroded buildings," Xu Fei said faintly.

    "So that¡¯s how you figure it out." The dog-head chief nodded slightly. "What a keen observation."

    Xu Fei felt proud. "Naturally."

    The dog-head chief waved his hand. "Drag them out to feed it."

    Shua!

    Once again, Xu Fei was stuffed back into the huge.

    ??

    Xu Fei was dumbfounded.

    "Even idiots can see that. Do we need you to tell us that?" The dog-head chief had a cold expression on his face. "From your looks, I don¡¯t think you can give us any solutions anyway. What¡¯s the point of keeping you around? You damnable humans!"

    ??

    Xu Fei¡¯s face darkened.

    What do you mean by "from my looks I won¡¯t be able to think of a solution"? Are you looking down on me with those dog eyes of yours?

    "Actually, I..." Xu Fei was still thinking of trying something out.

    ng!

    Ignoring them, the group of mutants once again started dragging them out. Lacking any other choices, Chen Feng could only say, "Perhaps I have a way of resolving your current predicament."

    "Oh?" The dog-head chief looked at him, doubt in his eyes.

    "How else did we travel through the frozen sea to reach here otherwise?" Chen Feng said calmly.

    "Hmph, using those things?" The dog-head chief sneered before saying, "Take them out!"

    Shua!

    One run-down submarine after another was dragged out.

    The pupils of Chen Feng and Xu Fei shrunk. These were all the unmanned submarines previously sent by the Gic Union. So they had all arrived here after sinking?

    ng!

    ng!

    The dog-head chief knocked on them.

    Bang!

    Those submarines crumbled apart.

    "These things can indeed resist the dissolving power. However, with the strong pressure subjected on them at our current sea level, they can¡¯tst long," the dog-head chief said coldly.

    Pressure...

    Chen Feng was powerless to berate this.

    An aboriginal of the frozen sea had such knowledge? This was quite excessive, right?

    "The things you humans make are simply jokes in front of mother nature," the dog-head chief said in disdain.

    Soon, Chen Feng and Xu Fei were trapped once again.

    "You humans are the reason for our vige¡¯s destruction!" The dog-head chief¡¯s eyes were filled with ill intent. "All these years, we were always safe and sound here. However, ever since you humans started battling up there, changes started to ur here! There¡¯s also that damnable tortoise... It was most certainly something you humans led over here!" The dog-head chief¡¯s eyes were filled with viciousness. "As long as humans who enter the sea are killed, that tortoise will naturally leave. After that, we will regain our previous peace." The dog-head chief ordered, "Take them away!"

    The mutants prepared to once again dragged Chen Feng and Xu Fei out.

    "Are you sure?" Once again, Chen Feng said, "Have you never thought of it? If you were to make an incorrect choice, everyone in this vige will end up dead. If you can put your trust in me, I might be able to save you all."

    The dog-head chief looked at him. "What can you use to save us?"

    "This." Chen Feng walked toward the fringe of the vige. Since he was walking toward the frozen sea, none tried to stop him. An indistinct purple flicker bloomed from his hands. Next, he inserted his hand into the seawater. Unexpectedly, he was fine!

    "That is..."

    Finally, the dog-head chief¡¯s expression changed. This young man here possessed such a magical power! Perhaps... their vige that was on the path of destruction still had a chance!

    "Let me introduce myself." Finally, some importance was ced on these foreigners. "Hi, my name is Gou Li, the chief of Barrier Vige. Perhaps this is a name you have heard of?"

    What?!

    The expressions of Chen Feng and Xu Fei changed greatly.

    Gic Union?

    Gou Li?

    They had indeed heard of this name! Ten years ago, an A-ss expert of the Gic Union and his underlings had betrayed the union. Four A-ss celebrity warriors and countless B-ss gic warriors had been killed. This had caused quite a huge uproar back then. Even now, that was still one of the most serious attacks that had ever happened in the history of the Gic Union.

    They had initially believed that Gou Li and his underlings had all died. Never had they imagined that they would encounter him here at the depths of the sea, with this current appearance of his.

    Abruptly, Chen Feng looked at those honest-looking vigers. Beneath those bizarre shapes, there was some semnce to the faces he had once seen identally. Even the number of people here matched what he¡¯d read.

    "You all..."

    The expressions of Chen Feng and Xu Fei changed greatly.

    It was them! They were all the escaped criminals from that battle 10 years ago!!!

 Chapter 245: Soul

    Chapter 245: Soul

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Danger!

    Instinctively, Chen Feng¡¯s nerves tensed.

    Shua!

    His Luck Aura fully activated. He was dripping wet with sweat. However, very soon, he regained his calm. If this person truly intended to kill them, it would simply be impossible for them to survive anyway. Moreover, this was at the depths of the frozen sea. Even if they wanted to flee, there was no way out for them.

    "You..." Chen Feng inhaled before continuing, "How are you all here?"

    A smile appeared on Gou Li¡¯s face. "You are actually not afraid of us?"

    Chen Feng shrugged as he fully calmed down. "What¡¯s the point of being scared?"

    "Very good. Since that¡¯s the case, we can now continue our discussion," Gou Li stated calmly. "If we couldn¡¯t evenmunicate properly, I would have no choice but to kill you."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Gou Li gave a rough introduction of the situation of their vige. In fact, it was nearly the same as Chen Feng¡¯s guess. Back then, they were being hunted before they falling into the frozen sea. After using a certain unique method, they had managed to survive by fluke and had stayed here ever since.

    Chen Feng looked at the magical power separating the frozen sea¡¯s water from the vige. "Those defensive barriers..."

    "That¡¯s something made by a brother of ours," Gou Li said in a low voice. "His name is Bi Quzhi. Back then, he was a defensive barrier producer at a seafood market. All those prawns, crabs, and frogs were things that would be wrapped within his defensive barrier. With his gic ability, he is able to produce ayer of defensive barrier to preserve everything. Subsequently, we discovered his existence and invited him into our team. His ability is extremely powerful."

    "I can see that." Chen Feng sunk into a solemn mood. What a joke. Would a person capable of isting the frozen sea be weak? No wonder this ce is called Barrier Vige... So that¡¯s the reason. "With such an ability, if back then you all had chosen to work together with the Gic Union..." Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed. It was truly quite a pity. If such an ability was used to work with those experts of the Gic Union, they could definitely achieve a lot of things. It was definitely sufficient for Gou Li¡¯s group to atone for their crimes by their contributions!

    "That would be impossible." Gou Li¡¯s eyes were ice cold. "Even if we have no intention of being an enemy of the Gic Union¡¯s, we will never forgive him! We lost too many people during the battle back then... Qi Qi... Xiao Yin... Ah Fu..."

    Gou L¡¯s eyes appeared empty as he said this.

    All their close rtives had been killed during that battle! This was a blood grudge!

    "If we had not found out that it had happened due to the Gic Union being deceived..."

    Gou Li¡¯s eyes seethed with killing intent. As they were A-ss experts, if they really had wanted to stir things up, it wouldn¡¯t have been too difficult for them.

    Deceived... Gic Union... Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed. "Could it be..."

    "That¡¯s right! We were all used wrongly!" Gou Li said hatefully.

    The expressions of Chen Feng and Xu Fei changed greatly. That was truly a gargantuan miscarriage of justice! They had been fugitives for 10 whole years! What had actually happened back then?

    Gou Li sighed. "Back then, when we were in the middle of a mission, we suddenly lost consciousness. By the time we woke up, our bodies had already been seriously injured and we¡¯d be criminals for no apparent reason! The Gic Union was pursuing us, and some unknown enemies were hunting us down as well. The only thing we could do was flee without stop! Finally, we were thrown into this sea by that mysterious person."

    "Mysterious person..." Chen Feng contemted.

    "That¡¯s right. That person..." Hatred appeared in Gou Li¡¯s eyes, "was the one instigating the whole thing!"

    Chen Feng was curious. "You guys didn¡¯t go after him for revenge?" Even if they were seriously injury and unable to defeat the enemy back then, after they recovered...

    At that, Gou Li¡¯s expression became odd before he finally sighed. The hatred seething out of him at this moment transformed into a sense of helplessness. "We can¡¯t defeat him..."

    What? Chen Feng was somewhat dumbstruck. Can¡¯t defeat him? Are you kidding me? There are so many A-ss and B-ss gic warriors here!

    "That mysterious person..." Gou Li shook his head. "Back then, when we were on a mission, we encountered a mysterious person. This person¡¯s code name was Soul, a person that possessed an extremely powerful mind control ability. He might have been rted to our mission. As such, when our investigation led us to him, we might have been temporarily mind controlled by him, which ultimately led to everything that happened after."

    Soul! Mysterious person! A-ss mind controller!

    Shocking words rolled off of Gou Li¡¯s tongue without stop.

    There were actually so many hidden secrets from that major incident 10 years ago. As for that mysterious person, he was truly astonishingly powerful! For him to be able to control so many A-ss experts, what kind of power had he used?

    "We investigated for 10 whole years. We have also trained for 10 whole years. However, we are still not his match." Gou Li sighed. "Hence, we can only hide here. One day, when we finally have the means of killing him, we can prove our innocence! Only then can we avenge our brothers!"

    Around them, beneath the calm expressions of the vigers, an obvious fluctuation in their emotions could be seen at this moment. There were certain memories that even 10 years worth of time would not be able erase!

    "How about this vige¡¯s condition?" Chen Feng looked at the ruins outside the barrier that might dissipate into nothingness at any moment. If it was as Gou Li had said, how could such a thing have happened for no reason?

    "Bi Quzhi is dead." Gou Li inhaled deeply as killing intent seethed out of his eyes. "Not long ago, when he was defending the defensive barrier, he was killed by that old tortoise that had appeared out of nowhere. After that, the area of Barrier Vige started shrinking. This is even more so with the unceasing attacks on the barrier by that damnable old tortoise." Gou Li was furious. "If it wasn¡¯t for the frozen sea, or if Little Zhi was still alive, a mere B-ss tortoise like that, I could tear it apart with one hand!"

    Instantly, Chen Feng understood the issue. The one they all relied on in this frozen sea, Bi Quzhi, was dead. Hence, regardless of how strong they were, they would not be able to make use of that strength. Even if this tortoise was far weaker than them, the moment the barrier cracked and the seawater started pouring in, they would die!

    "I hope your energy is useful to us." Gou Li looked at Chen Feng. He did not have too great an urge to kill Chen Feng, since they would all die here anyway if his energy proved ineffective.

    Chen Feng nodded slightly. "Understood."

    "ng!"

    "ng!"

    nking sounds resounded without stop. That tortoise was once again knocking against the defensive barrier without stop, kicking up a huge ruckus. Along with the knocking, the barrier started dimming.

    Chen Feng had a serious expression in his eyes. If this continued, the barrier would notst more than seven days! Not much time was left for them. Within seven days, he had to look for a way to solve this! Energy submarine? It would be useless in this situation. True, it would be useful against the frozen sea¡¯s life forms, but that old tortoise did not even need to spend much effort to break his purple energy. Next, they would all be dissolved by the seawater.

    That was the scariest prospect! Regardless of whether Gou Li was saying the truth or not, he had to protect this vige, even if he were to do that for himself.

    What if I were to use Myriad Illusions to imitate the power of that defensive barrier, or to inject the energy into the existing barrier...

    Chen Feng contemted. Doing all these would not pose much problem for him. However, this would only seed if they first stopped that old tortoise from attacking the barrier without stop. Furthermore, if Chen Feng and Xu Fei wanted to leave here, there was no way for them to avoid facing that old tortoise either. If so... things became much simpler to solve.

    "Kill it!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was filled with viciousness.

 Chapter 246: Kill!

    Chapter 246: Kill!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Since the target had now been determined, the rest would be easy to deal with. First, Chen Feng tried using the energy of Myriad Illusionary Wind de to replenish the barrier¡¯s energy exhaustion. Under the amazed gazes of Gou Li and the rest, he seeded.

    It was feasible!

    As long as thisyer of barrier remained, Chen Feng only needed to constantly pour energy into it to protect this ce. Next, it was time to deal with that damnable tortoise! After killing it, the vige would no longer have any worries. Chen Feng and Xu Fei would also be able to leave here smoothly without any worries that this tortoise would ambush them. Soon, they reached a unanimous decision.

    One person walked out and said, "We have some information about that tortoise." Even if they were incapable of killing that tortoise within this frozen sea, they had still nevertheless managed toe out with some rough information pertaining to that tortoise¡¯s strength after all this while.

    ----

    Giant Tortoise.

    ss: B

    Ability 1: Incredibly powerful concealment ability. If it wanted to hide itself, even an A ss would be hard pressed to find it.

    Ability 2: Incredibly powerful self-healing ability. If one wanted to kill it, one had to kill it speedily, or else its injuries would heal within a short period of time. It was an astonishing ability.

    Ability 3: Incredibly long life span. With its unique bloodline, it possessed a long life span.

    Ability 4: Incredibly powerful defense. With the existence of its shell, its defensive power was excessively powerful, reaching the point where it could even defend against an A-ss attack. Its immunity to the frozen sea¡¯s power might be rted to this defensive ability as well.

    Ability 5: Unknown.

    ----

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Xu Fei inhaled a mouthful of cold air. This was truly quite a scary set of information, even more so now that they were facing this tortoise in the frozen sea.

    What all this meant was that they would only have a single attacking chance. Moreover, they needed to guarantee a high-speed kill; otherwise they would simply be exhausted to death by that tortoise despite the fact that Chen Feng would be able to replenish the energy of the barrier. Even if the barrier remained intact, it would still crumble from mere energy exhaustion. This was a tortoise with extreme durability they were facing!

    Gou Li frowned. "That unknown ability will be the most troublesome issue..."

    Chen Feng thought about it before saying, "I have a little information pertaining to that. Life and Death Domain: by using its life span or time as the price, it can create an extremely powerful Life and Death Domain to drag everyone into an illusion."

    !!!!

    Everyone else widened their eyes.

    Life and Death Domain? A skill activated by paying life span or time as the price? If that was true, this illusion would definitely be a terrifying one.

    Gou Li was astonished. "You¡¯ve encountered it before?"

    "Mhm, I¡¯ve encountered it before. Previously, this tortoise had escaped after being injured by an A ss. Prior to fleeing, it had used this very ability. Back then, I was dragged into the illusion as well. If I am correct, this ability will strengthen against stronger opponents and weaken against weaker opponents. The moment one fails to ovee the illusion with their strength..." Chen Feng said with a low voice.

    Shua!

    Everyone sunk into a solemn mood. Chen Feng proceeded to describe to them what he¡¯d encountered back then. It was very probable that the difficulty of this illusion was directly rted to one¡¯s level. In other words, if one were an E ss, one would be met with an illusion at the difficulty of peak E ss. If one were a C ss, a peak C-ss difficulty would be there waiting. If one was a newly advanced B ss and encountered a peak B-ss illusion... Sorry, it was very probable for one to die inside.

    Naturally, for such a bizarre illusion, even if it failed to kill, it would be able to interrupt the opponents, giving the tortoise plenty of time to escape.

    "This..."

    Everyone¡¯s mouths were left hanging.

    If that was the case, how were they supposed to fight it?! Even if the extremely powerful defense and healing abilities were ignored, even if the fact that the only way to deal with it was by killing it speedily was ignored, it still had such a powerful ability as its trump card?!

    They simply stood no chance! This was the frozen sea! The instant the tortoise escaped after being injured, it would be able to easily conceal itself. They would no longer be able to locate it. And the next time it appeared, it would be wary against them... At that time, everyone here would be in extreme danger!

    Chen Feng looked at the distant giant tortoise. "It¡¯s not on guard yet, since it still believes that we can only passively defend here. Therefore... there¡¯s only one way to do it. Insta-kill!"

    Shua!

    Everyone¡¯s heart trembled. Insta-kill! Insta-killing a tortoise capable of defending against an A-ss attack within this frozen sea! Was that possible?

    Gou Li smiled bitterly. "There¡¯s no way for us to make our move."

    If they were able to move freely here, would they be in so much trouble? This was the frozen sea. With that tortoise refusing to enter their vige, all types of energy sent its way would simply be dissolved by the frozen sea. Hence, they simply had no means of attacking! This was also the main reason this giant tortoise could act so rampantly.

    "What if... a portion of the frozen sea here were to lose its effectiveness?" Chen Feng said suddenly.

    Oh?

    Everyone¡¯s eyes shone.

    A vicious expression appeared on Gou Li¡¯s face. "If that¡¯s the case, our next meal will be a roasted tortoise."

    Time passed quietly.

    Currently, seven days had passed since they first arrived here. Chen Feng had been focusing on researching the ways to protect the barrier while the barrier itself was shrinking without stop under the giant tortoise¡¯s relentless attacks.

    A subdued mumble echoed amidst the sea. "It¡¯s nearly here..."

    Bang!

    With a loud sound, that barrier shattered abruptly.

    The vige was nowid bare!

    "Hum¡ª"

    Light shined out of the giant tortoise¡¯s eyes. It had been waiting way too long for this! However, it seemed to be aware that the vigers there were quite terrifying existences, so even after the barrier shattered, it only moved forward together with the gushing seawater.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    It charged forth together with the gushing seawater.

    Bang!

    The seawater flooded the whole vige.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Countless items dissolved.

    However, at a certain spot within the vige, a smaller defensive barrier akin to a small house formed by the purple energy could be seen. All the vigers were protected within. It was somewhat cramped, though.

    "Howl¡ª" The giant tortoise howled proudly. This is the defensive barrier of that little guy? What¡¯s the point?

    ng!

    It smashed into the barrier. Instantly, the whole purple barrier crumbled apart.

    Hua!

    Seawater swept into it.

    Surprisingly, although the humans there were all submerged within the seawater, they suffered no damage!

    Suddenly, the giant tortoise had a bad feeling.

    Shua!

    As it turned its gigantic body around, its soul almost left its body from the shock.

    There, arger barrier had appeared noiselessly. The barrier that had been protecting the whole vige all this while had once again reappeared, blocking the seawater.

    This was a two-barrier setup! One inner barrier and one outer barrier!

    Unfortunately for that giant tortoise, it was trapped between both barriers.

    The vige was still submerged within the seawater. However, as it was now separated from the main body of water, it had lost its dissolving power. Now, this was merely ordinary seawater!

    "Howl!"

    The giant tortoise bellowed and charged outward franticly.

    Gou Li¡¯s eyes were filled with viciousness. "Die!"

    Escaping? Since they had taken so long to make preparations, how was it possible for them to allow it to escape?

    Powerful defense? Before them, that powerful defense was nothing! The giant tortoise merely required a single second to leave this vige. However, at this instant, the three strongest experts of the vige, three A-ss warriors, made their moves at the same time!

    "Destroy!" Gou Li shouted coldly.

    As his attacknded, the defensive shell the tortoise was so proud of immediately shattered. Horrified, the tortoise released its strongest ability without hesitation.

    "Extinguish!"

    The other A-ss expert Guo Jia waved his hand indifferently.

    Bang!

    Light swirled around. The powerful illusion released by the giant tortoise was destroyed instantly.

    This was the power of an A-ss expert. Regardless of how powerful one¡¯s B-ss trump card was, it was merely a joke before a well-prepared A-ss expert who was attacking with full power.

    The final A-ss expert, Si Yi, pointed coldly. "Die!"

    At that, a huge pitch-ck hand appeared and started crushing the internal organs of the giant tortoise. The giant tortoise¡¯s body started twitching as its soul copsed. It did not evenst a single second before dying in the hands of these A-ss experts.

    "You..." The giant tortoise started spitting humannguage out of its mouth. It had never expected itself to die here!

    "We shall die together then!" the giant tortoise howled.

    Bang!

    Suddenly, a bizarre light explosion appeared.

    "Careful."

    Everyone¡¯s heart leaped.

    Without the slightest hesitation, Gou Li released his strongest defense to block the light explosion. However, that bizarre radiance was able to easily take a detour around the erected defense and charged toward them.

    Shua!

    Everyone¡¯s expression changed greatly.

 Chapter 247: Great Transformation

    Chapter 247: Great Transformation

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Danger! Everyone was sweating profusely. They had finally gotten a clear look at what that bizarre radiance was. Astonishingly, that was actually the blood of that tortoise!

    Bang!

    The tortoise blood started dispersing. Instantly, all the seawater in there changed color. Even the defense erected by Gou Li was incapable of defending against it.

    Guo Jia was anxious. "Quick! Move the water out!"

    However... it was toote.

    Pu!

    Pu!

    Two people there died on the spot. It was at this moment that a terrifying gust of power erupted.

    Bang!

    Along with the eruption, a me was ignited. It was Xu Fei! He started punching out. At this instant, his terrifying Raging me Fist unleashed an extremely formidable power, evaporating all the water there!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Bathing in me like an unequalled war god, Xu Fei roared, "Leave!"

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Everyone else left hastily, reaching the zone that was cleared of seawater. The seawater here was already an odd existence before. Now that it had been polluted by the tortoise¡¯s blood, it had be even more bizarre. None of them dared to touch it. As such, allowing Xu Fei to evaporate the water was the most optimal choice.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The me raged.

    Gradually, the seawater within the barrier dried up.

    However, outside of everyone¡¯s expectations, the evaporated blood merely had its form changed. It still existed in a different form as some sort of gaseous substance. In this new form, the blood hid within the final puddle of seawater, and at the final moment before thest drop of seawater was evaporated, they charged out.

    "Be careful!"

    Everyone¡¯s heart leaped.

    "Ah?" Xu Fei turned around nkly.

    Xiu!

    A green radiance representing the tortoise blood that had transformed into a gaseous substance bloomed and gushed into Xu Fei¡¯s body.

    Ah.

    At that, Xu Fei¡¯s body stiffened and he slumped down onto the ground.

    "Xu Fei!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed greatly. Gou Li and the rest rushed over as well. All the tortoise blood and seawater within the barrier had been cleared. This was Xu Fei¡¯s contribution. To be frank, he was the one who had saved everyone here.

    A gic warrior that specialized in healing walked out. "Let me."

    Xu Fei¡¯s body was turning green at an extremely fast speed. However, due to the burning me within his body, this speed was much slower than it was supposed to be.

    That person¡¯s expression was unsightly. "He won¡¯t be able tost too long."

    Hum¡ª

    Green light flickered on Xu Fei¡¯s body.

    "Almost all the tortoise¡¯s blood went into his body. Currently, he¡¯s using his me to refine the blood, however..."

    That person shook his head. The disparity in their strength was simply too great.

    What was Xu Fei¡¯s level? D ss! On the other hand, that tortoise was B ss! Now that all the blood it had released before death was within Xu Fei¡¯s body, how could Xu Fei resist against it?

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes started flickering. "Not necessarily so."

    Shua!

    Luck Aura, full activation!

    This time, he was going to use his Luck Aura to help Xu Fei out of his current plight. Regardless of how miniscule the probability of that seeding, he was still going to try!

    Hum¡ª

    me started raging and his luck value started dropping rapidly.

    Ten points...

    Twenty points...

    Chen Feng exhaled in relief. Since the luck value was dropping, it meant his Luck Aura was truly working on Xu Fei.

    At the same moment, he received the feedback from Luck Aura as well: 10 points of luck value per second to ensure Xu Fei¡¯s temporary survival. Half the blood would be used to withstand Xu Fei¡¯s me, while the other half would proceed to destroy Xu Fei¡¯s body. This was the maximum Luck Aura could achieve with this, by reducing the extent of the erosion done to Xu Fei¡¯s body by the blood.

    However, even with this, it had only slowed the eventual death of Xu Fei.

    Chen Feng looked at them. "I can only help himst longer. Do you guys have any other means of saving him?" They were A-ss gic warriors!

    "Let me." Guo Jia walked out. "If he had been instantly killed, I truly wouldn¡¯t be able to do much. However, since you can help himst longer, things be easier to deal with."

    Shua!

    He pressed one hand on Xu Fei¡¯s body.

    Bang!

    Abruptly, a terrifying power gushed into Xu Fei¡¯s body. The me within Xu Fei¡¯s body that was only capable of resisting the tortoise¡¯s blood with great difficulty started raging. Next, it started taking the initiative to look for the tortoise blood and counterattack.

    "Here ites."

    Chen Feng sunk into a solemn mood. The tortoise¡¯s blood was too powerful. If all the blood concentrated on either Xu Fei¡¯s me or Xu Fei¡¯s body, they could easily destroy whatever their choice of target. However, under the Luck Aura¡¯s effect, the blood maintained the bnce and dealt with both Xu Fei¡¯s me and body at the same time.

    The speed at which Xu Fei¡¯s body turned green was reducing while the refining done on the tortoise¡¯s blood increased in intensity. Soon, Xu Fei¡¯s body stopped changing.

    Moreover, his body was gradually recovering its original color as he flushed red with the color of blood.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "It seeded!"

    The refined tortoise blood started blending with Xu Fei¡¯s body and started healing the damage done to him earlier. Next, his body recovered its warmth.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    me started igniting around Xu Fei¡¯s body. Now he no longer required their assistance. The power around and within Xu Fei had formed aplete cirction route to operate independently. Xu Fei was saved from his imminent death.

    Thump!

    Thump!

    His heart started beating once again.

    However, this was nevertheless still the blood of a tortoise. Nowadays, due to the existences of gic abilities, the blood of life forms such as that tortoise contained extreme power within. The stronger the life form was, the stronger the blood would be! This was apparent from the fact that the blood continued to exist even after being evaporated.

    A tortoise¡¯s blood was extremely powerful! As for this particr giant tortoise that had been alive for god knows how many years, its blood was even more powerful! Moreover, this was also a tortoise at B ss that was capable of battling against those of a higher ss, and its blood was full of vitality! Within the blood that had turned into a gaseous substance before invading Xu Fei, how much power was contained? No one knew the answer to that.

    "Hopefully nothing bad will happen..." Gou Li and the rest muttered.

    Unfortunately, something was indeed happening. Xu Fei¡¯s body started reddening to the point where the color now looked abnormal.

    Their hearts throbbed. "Something is going to happen."

    Previously, he had almost died from the attack of the tortoise¡¯s blood. Now that they had sessfully saved him from his death, Xu Fei was dying once again. Dying from over nutrition due to the tortoise¡¯s blood being too powerful for Xu Fei to absorb.

    This...

    Chen Feng was speechless.

    Luck Aura? He tried activating it. However, the Luck Aura refused to work this time around. Gou Li and the rest were somewhat dumbstruck as well. If Xu Feicked spiritual energy or something else, they could supply him some. But in a situation where the power contained within Xu Fei¡¯s body was too great, what should they do?

    They started exchanging nces.

    "Oh¡ª" Xu Fei groaned painfully.

    Everyone else was unable to find a solution. Could it be that they had to watch on like this as this guy here died from an oversupply of power?

    "Giant tortoise¡¯s power..." Chen Feng thought slightly before saying, "Since the giant tortoise was able to be immune to the power contained within the frozen sea, perhaps the power raging within him can be slowed down by tossing him out to the sea?"

    Everyone¡¯s eyes shone. "Good idea!"

    First, they tried inserting one of Xu Fei¡¯s hands into the frozen sea.

    Hum¡ª

    Noiselessly, his right hand was dissolved. However, due to that bizarre tortoise¡¯s power within his body, Xu Fei¡¯s body was regrowing! After regrowing, the speed in which the hand dissolved in the sea had evidently slowed!

    Clearly, the power of the giant tortoise that was trapped within Xu Fei¡¯s body was being exhausted.

    "It¡¯s feasible."

    They were pleasantly surprised.

    Bang!

    Next, Xu Fei was directly tossed into the sea.

    At that, the frozen sea¡¯s power was disyed. Xu Fei¡¯s body started dissolving before regrowing without stop. Every time his body was regrown, the time in which his body survived before dissolving increased.

    Resistance! His body was actually developing a resistance against the frozen sea! The giant tortoise¡¯s power was being exhausted without stop as well. However, astonishing everyone there, even after Xu Fei¡¯s bodypleted the regrowing process and becamepletely immune to the seawater, the tortoise¡¯s power was still notpletely exhausted.

    Everyonemented. "Such a terrifying power."

    This tortoise¡¯sbat power was truly not particrly powerful. However, its age was most probably much older than they had guessed, since such a terrifying amount of power had been stored within its body.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The terrifying power roared within Xu Fei¡¯s body. He waspletely submerged within the frozen sea, yet he waspletely immune to the sea.

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah¡ª" Xu Fei yelled as he charged into the depths of the frozen sea.

    Gou Li nodded. "It might be a good idea to let him vent off a bit there."

    "True," Guo Jia agreed. "At the extreme end of the frozen sea, there¡¯s a certain species of eel. Its mouth is like a jade, smooth as..." Guo Jia started his boration.

    "???"

    Chen Feng had a dumbstruck expression.

    After a long time, Xu Fei returned with a refreshed expression on his face. As for what he had done at the extreme end of the frozen sea, he did not say much about it. However, Chen Feng could clearly see that beneath that somewhat awkward expression of Xu Fei¡¯s, a refreshed expression was hidden.

    Guo Jia and the rest gave him a knowing smile.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    At this moment, he was truly wondering how these old men here had spent their time all these years.

 Chapter 248: The Crazy Demonic Figurine Collector

    Chapter 248: The Crazy Demonic Figurine Collector

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Near the frozen sea¡¯s surface, the people from gic union were all sweating profusely.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    All the devices in front of them were operating crazily. Earlier, an unmanned submarine had been sent underwater. They were looking for the whereabouts of Chen Feng and Xu Fei. So far, nothing had been found.

    Navigating based on the previous data sent to them by Chen Feng and Xu Fei, they had been able to avoid encountering those dreadful monsters, and for the first time, they¡¯d entered the deepest region of the frozen sea, the final 5% of their map.

    However...

    Ka!

    Ka!

    A split second after they¡¯d entered that ce, all the monitoring screens had darkened. Their submarine seemed to have been hit with some monumental force and instantly crumbled apart, without a dust remain of the submarine. Something dreadful seemed to exist down there.

    Someone sighed. "They are probably dead."

    Their n to open up the Frozen Sea Tundra for humanity had still concluded with a failure. Since they couldn¡¯t figure out what dreadful thing existed down there, they did not dare to build a camp here. This was a matter of principle.

    "Let¡¯s give up on this project."

    They felt regretful.

    This was already the fifth submarine they¡¯d sent down there. The previous submarines had all been destroyed before even reaching the deepest region of the frozen sea. This time around, they were already pushing their limits. Even with the assistance of Chen Feng¡¯s data, this was as much as they could aplish.

    The person in charge looked at the icy blue ocean as he sighed. "I hereby dere that this Frozen Sea Tundra development n... Chen Feng, Xu Fei, dead! Project failed..."

    However, right at this moment.

    Hum¡ª

    All their devices started operating crazily. Those darkened screens once again started flickering with images.

    "Another submarine is going down?"

    The expression of some of them changed.

    The technician was in ecstasy. "No, we have suddenly reestablished connection with a certain device of ours underwater."

    What?

    Everyone else was overjoyed and gathered together to take a look at the screen.

    Currently, within the depths of the frozen sea, a huge tortoise shell was drifting around. That was the only remaining part of the huge tortoise. On it, cracks that were left behind on it by Gou Li¡¯s attack could be seen.

    Gou Li was certain. "This thing has extremely powerful defense. Perhaps it might be extremely valuable. Take it back." Guo Jia told Xu Fei to retrieve the shell from the sea.

    However, at this instant, an indescribable power abruptly dispersed out of the tortoise shell. Astonishingly, that powerful yet mysterious tortoise shell, at this instant, turned to ash.

    !!!

    Everyone was shocked.

    Hum¡ª

    With a faint flicker, the frozen sea regained its tranquility.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart sunk into a solemn mood. "There¡¯s a problem somewhere!"

    Suddenly, he recalled the namete the tortoise had previously had on it, the namete with "Duma" on it. No matter what, it was unlikely the giant tortoise had carved a namete for itself. Behind it might be an even more terrifying existence.

    Chen Feng was on guard. "We must leave here!"

    Now that the giant tortoise was already dead, there was no point in them staying here.

    The people from the Gic Union were most probably extremely anxious currently. Perhaps they had already announced his death. If he was to returnter, he might even be able to attend his own funeral this time.

    He started persuading Gou Li¡¯s group. Surprisingly, though, they refused to leave.

    Chen Feng had an odd feeling. "Why?"

    "With our current appearance..." Gou Li shook his head. "In order to ensure our survival down here, in order to seek more power for revenge... we don¡¯t even look human anymore. There¡¯s no point in us returning. We have all fused with the life forms within this frozen sea... Perhaps we will even be able to adapt to the seawater here soon and have our strength increased. Only then will we leave here for our revenge."

    Gou Li had a solemn expression. Their current strength was far from sufficient.

    Chen Feng felt fearful. "That person is really so powerful?"

    "Yes." Gou Li deeply believed that. Finishing, he took out a 20 cm long figurine of a youngdy. "This is for you."

    "Figurine?" Xu Fei was amazed. "It is unexpected that this senior is quite a nerd."

    "..." Gou Li stared at Xu Fei with an ugly expression. Don¡¯t you know that if, you continue talking in such a manner, you will end up beaten to death?

    "There¡¯s nothing weird with having a figurine," Chen Feng said earnestly. "In my hometown, there¡¯s a guy called Qin Shihuang who is truly a crazy figurine collector. He enjoyed collecting them and, moreover, he had several huge holes dug just to keep this figurine collection of his." 1

    Gou Li: "..."

    "This is not a figurine!" Gou Li rubbed his head before continuing sternly, "10 years ago, that mission we were investigating was rted to this thing here. This is also the only clue we obtained. You can deliver this to the Gic Union. They might be able to get some clues from this."

    "All right." Chen Feng nodded slightly. "How about the matter regarding freezing over this whole piece of sea?"

    He had not forgotten his mission. Their goal was to freeze the whole piece of sea!

    "Just proceed." Gou Li nodded. "Sealing the sea could avoid other alien life forms such as this giant tortoiseing in the future."

    Sealing the sea would benefit them as well.

    Finally, Chen Feng was relieved. "Good then."

    "Remember! If you see someone with an odd stone embedded in his forehead, regardless of the time or venue, you must flee! Flee as far as you can!" Gou Li had a solemn expression.

    Odd stone in his forehead... It¡¯s the guy called Soul? Understood!

    Chen Feng engraved this into his brain.

    Hua!

    After bidding their farewells, they departed.

    Hum¡ª

    The purple submarine sliced apart the seawater as it travelled forth and vanished from their line of view.

    The frozen sea was nowpletely explored. This ce was an ind sea simr to the Ice River previously. Despite its huge size, with Chen Feng¡¯s efforts and the modern technology that was able to explore this ce at an extremely high speed, this exploration had finally beenpleted.

    As of now, there were no longer any unknown factors residing here at this ce.

    Missionpleted!

    Chen Feng and Xu Fei returned smoothly.

    **

    At a certain location where clouds drifted around, a middle-aged man walked out from the void. Suddenly, he stopped his steps as his bizarre gaze was fixed toward a certain direction, focusing on a location that was extremely far away from his current location. That was the location of the frozen sea!

    "Master¡¯s pet is dead?"

    He was somewhat amazed.

    That fellow¡¯s strength was quite ordinary, and it had quite an ugly appearance. However, due to its long life span, it was still extremely loved by his master. It had actually died?!

    "Let me take a look..."

    The middle-aged man¡¯s eyes erged.

    Hum¡ª

    A terrifying power erupted as a mental power that was unimaginably powerful bloomed.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The mental power charged straight into the heavens.

    Currently, within the purple submarine, Chen Feng was recovering his spiritual energy. Suddenly, the youngdy figurine in his hands felt scarily hot. At that instant, a gust of bizarre power seemed to sh through them.

    Chen Feng was curious. "What¡¯s up?"

    This thing...

    He stared at the youngdy figurine in his hands. This was a typical anime-style pretty girl with its lengthy beautiful hair, a miniskirt, and a big pair of eyes. Such a person would definitely not exist in real life.

    Once again, he rubbed the figurine. The temperature of the figurine seemed to have recovered.

    Chen Feng frowned. "Weird..."

    Currently, that middle-aged man high above the sky had just finished with his investigation. However, surprising him, he had failed to see anything!

    How is this possible...

    He frowned. With the current strength of his mental power, even an A-ss expert would not be able to avoid his detection. There had to be some issue with the death of his master¡¯s pet!

    "After I¡¯m done with this, I¡¯m afraid I will have to take a trip over to the frozen sea," he said calmly.

    Presently, he had his own affairs to handle. As such, he would not be able to leave.

    Shua!

    With a flicker, his silhouette vanished.

    If someone else was there, they would have been astonished to find that, on this person¡¯s forehead, a green-colored diamond seemed to be glinting, akin to a star in the sky!

    Within the submarine, Xu Fei was staring nkly into a mirror with a longing expression.

    "My hair..."

    Xu Fei¡¯s heart ached. He had spent several months curing his scalp from the damage done by Chen Feng¡¯s loli. Once again, his hair had been growing. Unexpectedly, it had onlysted several days before once again being burnt clean.

    On top of that... He looked at his now-bare brow. Currently, his whole head simply looked like a huge soy egg.

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah¡ª" Xu Fei started raging. "I¡¯m f*cking bald again!"

    Chen Fengforted him, "Don¡¯t worry. Indeed, you are bald again. But your strength had increased as well."

    Xu Fei: ...

    Why did it felt like Chen Feng was currently taking joy in this cmity of his?

    **

    At the Gic Union, the news of the disappearance of Chen Feng and Xu Fei had been spreading for several days now. Along with the passing of time, their deaths were almost confirmed, together with the fact of their failure in the Frozen Sea Tundra development n.

    A lot of people had also popped out due to his issue.

    "Did I not say back then that we shouldn¡¯t have attempted to develop the Frozen Sea Tundra?"

    "Yeah, the current size of human-developed territory in the maind is already sufficient. For those unknown regions, we will naturally be able to easily develop them when our strength reaches that point. What¡¯s the point in taking a risk now?"

    "What can a producer do?"

    Some even sneered coldly.

    A huge amount of criticism emerged. These were those who had been against the development project since the beginning. They were the conservative faction in the Gic Union. They believed that, without any dangers or situations that deemed it necessary for any change to arise, nothing should be changed at all.

    Unfortunately, just as they finished their preparations and were nning to suppress those so-called pioneers in the union, a new update was received.

    Chen Feng had returned!

    "What?"

    Everyone widened their eyes.

    Returned? That producer who had gone missing for several days within the frozen sea had returned?

    Shua!

    At exactly three in the evening, Chen Feng formally returned to the union. Along with Xu Fei, his return also brought a perfect report to them. At the depths of the frozen sea, there was an extremely powerful giant tortoise. However, they had already killed the tortoise.

    From here on, there was no longer anything they needed to worry about at the frozen sea.

    Shua!

    This caused an uproar.

    They did not doubt Chen Feng¡¯s words. That was because, if there were truly any other dangers at such a ce, it was simply impossible for Chen Feng and Xu Fei to have returned alive.

    "Then... the sealing of the frozen sea shall officially begin!"

    The emotions of countless people surged. Furthermore, there were livestreams of this on the inte.

    At the final phase of the sealing project, ayer of wall that was made from the same material of their submarines was used to cover the whole sea surface. Underneath the wall were countless dense, flickering purple lights. These served as a warning, telling the life forms of the frozen sea that this would be as far as they¡¯d go. This was put in ce despite how rare it was for the frozen sea¡¯s life forms to actually venture out of the sea.

    Next, the experts of the gic union made their move. After the whole frozen sea had been covered by thatyer of wall, a huge deluge of water was rained down on it before an extremely cold temperature descended as well, turning the whole frozen sea into a huge cier.

    Shortly after, the ice tundra and the frozen sea were sessfully joined. Now this was a brand newnd of adventures. Within were countless mysterious gigantic life forms. It was estimated that this ce would soon be a paradise of adventurers.

    The tier assigned for this ce was B ss!

    As those in A ss were too strong and would be able to easily crush the newly created cier, their entry was restricted. This was to avoid what had happened during Wang Yao¡¯s battle with Lei Hao and the rest back then. This was how restriction of entry for those of different sses into different areas of exploration came about.

    As of now, the Frozen Sea Tundra development n was formallypleted.

    The size of the human¡¯s territory on this had once again increased slightly.

    Currently, Chen Feng and Xu Fei were already back at the Gic Union. As they hadpleted the mission wlessly, they would be receiving generous rewards from the Union. Chen Feng had been anticipating this for way too long.

    At the center of the Gic Union, countless people were witnessing the triumphant return of these two. They were also anticipating finding out what their rewards would be.

    Soon, the rewards were announced. Due to Xu Fei¡¯s huge contribution, an exception was made for him and he was allowed to join the headquarters of the Gic Union, bing a true member of the Gic Union.

    "Not bad."

    Everyone nodded slightly.

    For someone who had originally been an ordinary employee, a temporary worker, even, this could be considered the best reward for Xu Fei. The act of him bing an official member of the Gic Union was in itself an unimaginably generous reward. One had to know that the rewards awarded by the Gic Union for the ss certifications of their members and the rewards for the future missions he could undertake as their official member would be extremely generous.

    Xu Fei was beaming so much he couldn¡¯t even close his mouth. "Many thanks."

    As for Chen Feng...

    The person in charge of handing out the rewards paused before saying, "Based on our discussion with the people from the association, we have decided to let you select your own reward."

    "Oh?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    The person in charge indifferently said, "First option: Based on our current understanding, you are currently at D ss, with your main attribute at 6,000 points. We at the Gic Union can grant you perfect protection up until you reach C ss. All the required resources and even the fusion gene reagent will be provided by us!"

    Bang!

    The hearts of everyone else trembled. What a terrifying reward! To directly increase one whole ss for him? This was something no amount of resources couldpare with!

    A perfect promotion into C ss was the biggest reward the Gic Union could grant him!

    "How about the second option?" Chen Feng was shaken as well. From this alone, it was obvious that the Gic Union would not be holding back in their rewards.

    "The second option," the person in charge paused before continuing, "we make an exception for you and allow you to join the Gic Union!"

    Ai?

    Everyone else obviously nked momentarily at that.

    Entering the Gic Union? Wait, wasn¡¯t Chen Feng someone from the Gene Production Association? How was this a reward? This was obviously poaching! Wait, no, he was saying "make an exception"?

    Could it be...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    "That¡¯s right." A smile appeared on the person in charge¡¯s mouth. "Due to the unique strength you possess, you can coexist in both organizations."

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone else inhaled a mouthful of cold breath. In other words, Chen Feng could enter both the Gene Production Association and the Gic Union at the same time? Regardless of which of these two someone joined, the treatments orded to their core members were extremely generous. Now, Chen Feng was able to be a core member of both organizations?

    Two sets of benefits and ess to all their missions! On top of that, all the unique rewards for special asions, such as gic warrior¡¯s ss certification rewards, would be avable for him!

    Next though, everyone started frowning. This reward indeed appeared wless. However, how many of the Gic Union¡¯s rewards could Chen Feng actually get? One could not forget that Chen Feng was a producer in essence! As for the rewards of the Gic Union? All of them would be something one could only obtain throughbat-rted activities.

    Even for one of their lowest-ranked certifications¡ªfor example, a D-ss certification¡ªthe Gic Union¡¯s requirement would also be an absolutebat power! This was something unreachable for Chen Feng!

    It might very well be possible that the act of Chen Feng joining their headquarters would gain him nothing apart from fame and ess to the missions of the Gic Union.

    That was all he would gain.

    This reward that seemed so wless was in fact not too reliable.

    Comparatively, the guaranteed entry into C ss by the Gic Union would be a reward of substance!

    They started whispering to each other. "What will Chen Feng choose?"

    "No idea."

    Chen Feng was thinking about it without stop as well.

    "Have you decided?" the person in charge asked calmly.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Yes. I want to join the Gic Union!"

    Hua¡ª

    Everyone else was in an uproar, while Chen Feng¡¯s expression was unprecedentedly resolute.

    This decision was made after thorough consideration by him. As far as he was concerned, C ss was not a problem. It was something he could reach merely by working hard for a period of time. The help provided by the Gic Union might not necessarily guarantee a faster advancement speedpared to his own advancement methods. Rather, those certification rewards he could collect after joining...

    Ah.

    He seemed to remember that the Gene Production Association had generous rewards for their members?

    For example: The Peril Rebirth for their master producers.

    If so, as the strongest organization of gic warriors in this world, would the Gic Union be holding back when rewarding their members?

    Obviously not!

    If so...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. He was truly anticipating it!

    He believed that, as long as hepleted the certifications of the Gic Union, the rewards he stood to gain would definitely not becking even whenpared with the guaranteed advancement into C ss they had offered him! However, before doing all this, there was still one more thing Chen Feng needed to do.

 Chapter 250: Life...

    Chapter 250: Life...

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Clear City. Presently, this city was illuminated by the radiance of the sun while the citizens there were already getting started with their busy daily life activities. At the intensive care unit in the hospital of the city, an old man was resting on a bed. Beside him, a beautifuldy was carefully taking care of him. She was slicing the fruits into small pieces before feeding them to the old man. Beads of sweat could be seen on her forehead.

    "Take a rest, Little Min," the old man smiled as he said.

    "Don¡¯t worry about it, Father." The youngdy wiped the beads of sweat before continuing, "The doctor says that you can be discharged from the hospital soon. After you rest for a period of time, your genes that are in necrosis will be restored."

    The old man listened. "Good, good."

    At the same time, on a hospital bed near them, a young man was taking in this harmonious sight of a father and daughter. This sight moved him. The sight of that kind youngdy moved him even more.

    This started one month before, when he had identally encountered this father and daughter pair. From that moment onward, he had been deeply attracted to this youngdy. She was kind and gentle and was incredibly beautiful on top of that! Wasn¡¯t this the very youngdy that he had been waiting for all this while?

    Little Min...

    Mu Yuan had fallen in love! At least, this Little Min was much better than that bunny girl!

    As such, for this youngdy, for an idental light injury he¡¯d suffered during gene production that was supposed to have taken only a short time to heal, he had insisted on staying in this hospital for one whole month.

    Mu Yuan nned. "They will be leaving the hospital soon. Mhm... At that time, I can leave together and take the opportunity to get to know her."

    If he were to hit on the girl beside her sick father, he would probably be beaten to death. Tomorrow, when they left the hospital, it would be more proper for him to hit on the youngdy.

    After great difficulty, he had finally walked out of the shadow cast on him by that bunny girl. This time, he was truly seriously in love. He knew that he did not possess the crazy qualifications Chen Feng possessed. Despite that, it still wouldn¡¯t be a bad option to find a lovabledy to apany him as he started an ordinary life.

    At the same time, an Ironcloud reached its station. Chen Feng had arrived at Clear City as well. Before he started focusing on the affairs pertaining to the Gic Union, he had one thing to do. He had to give some care to family members of Gou Li¡¯s dead wife.

    This was the only request Gou Li had made of him.

    Due to Gou Li¡¯s valiant strength back then, he had gotten himself an 18-year-old youngdy as his wife. Unexpectedly, shortly after their marriage, that incident had happened. The youngdy hade from a single-parent family. Apart from the single parent, she only had a younger brother that was around seven or eight years younger than her. Gou Li hoped that Chen Feng could give them some help upon returning. Gou Li had, after all, owed that family too much.

    "Life..." Chen Fengmented.

    It has been 10 years...Hopefully, that family is getting by well.

    He arrived at the address given by Gou Li. It was located at the shabby older district of the city. Here in this magnificent gic era, the contrast was even more apparent, as this district looked even shabbier.

    It seemed like they were surviving on social assistance grants. After all, only an old father and a little kid were left in their family. It was true that Gou Li owed them a lot. However, just as Chen Feng arrived, he saw a familiar-looking silhouette there!

    That was... Mu Yuan!

    That¡¯s right, he saw Mu Yuan there!

    Currently, Mu Yuan was carefully holding onto an old man together with a beautiful youngdy as he walked over.

    Mu Yuan raised his head with surprise. "Chen Feng?"

    The youngdy nced at Chen Feng with her huge eyes. "Your friend?"

    Mu Yuan nodded. "Mhm."

    The youngdy smiled as she said, "We will enter the house first, then. My father needs rest anyway. You talk to your friend first. When you are done, you cane to my house to take a rest. The third unit over there is my home."

    Mu Yuan nodded. "Mhm."

    Next, the youngdy and the old man slowly walked over to their house. Their house wasn¡¯t too far. After only several steps and a turn would they reach it.

    "Chen Feng!" Mu Yuan was excited. "Why are you here?"

    "Doing my friend a favor." Chen Feng had a toying smile on his face. "But you, kid, how capable. That youngdy..."

    "Hehe." Mu Yuan was feeling proud. "A new friend."

    Today, by helping this youngdy and her father home, it was a great opportunity for him to get to know them. He believed that, with his status, he would definitely be able to move the youngdy¡¯s heart! What ce was this? This was the slum housing area! As for him? He was an intermediate gene producer! That, coupled with him being a kind and honest person with a stable career, ording to his opinion... there was no problem! No mishaps would happen this time!

    "You need to be careful," Chen Feng said with a toying smile on his face. "Your previous bunny girl incident was quite devastating."

    "Don¡¯t worry." Mu Yuan was feeling confident.

    This time around, he had been observing them for one whole month! Moreover, that old man frequently had the youngdy¡¯s baby picture ced on the table!

    Mhm... truly beautiful!

    Mhm... down there... Mhm, she¡¯s definitely a genuine female! 1

    Cough cough.

    "That¡¯s good, then." Chen Feng talked to Mu Yuan for a while. However, Mu Yuan was obviously distracted, as his sight keepnding on the direction the youngdy had left in. Chen Fengughed. "Go, go, we can catch up again when we have the time."

    "Hehe." The emotional Mu Yuan vanished at the corner of the street.

    Chen Feng shook his head as heughed. "This guy..."

    Forget it. Since he is busy with his love life, I shall not impose on him.

    Mhm...

    It was better for him to focus on looking for Gou Li¡¯s family and helping them out. Sooner orter, Gou Li would return. At that time, this task he did for Gou Li would be a huge favor Gou Li owed him! Regardless of how he looked at it, Chen Feng felt that this would be a task worth doing.

    After checking the address, Chen Feng walked toward the corner and walked along the street in the shabby-looking district. Mhm... After taking two turns, he saw a shabby-looking house.

    Third unit, mhm, this is it!

    Ding dong.

    Chen Feng pressed the doorbell. Surprisingly, Mu Yuan was the one to open the door.

    ??

    Chen Feng was somewhat dumbstruck.

    "Wait." He rechecked the address he had and doubtfully asked, "Third unit?"

    "Ah." Mu Yuan was surprised as well. "This is the third unit!"

    "The house of Miss Qi Qi?" Chen Feng asked again.

    "Ah." Mu Yuan was startled awake. "Shit, you¡¯re looking for this family as well?"

    "What¡¯s up?" The youngdy stretched her head out behind the door.

    Mu Yuan gave a hollowugh before continuing, "Let me talk to my friend first."

    Shua.

    He dragged Chen Feng out.

    Mu Yuan appeared horrified. "Damn, brother, you are not here on an assassination mission, right?"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    The heck, do I look like an executioner?

    Chen Feng shrugged. "This family is rted to one of my friends. He told me that their living conditions had been quite bad and told me to give them some help. I will be done after giving them some money to help them out."

    "That¡¯s good. then." Mu Yuan exhaled in relief. He had finally met someone he loved after great difficulty. Once again, the two returned. Chen Feng knocked on the door and the youngdy opened the door.

    After telling her his identity, Chen Feng continued, "Senior Gou sent me here to understand the situation here."

    Shua!

    The youngdy¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    Senior Gou...

    "He¡¯s still alive!"

    She was shaken.

    "Yes, he wanted to let you all know that, in this whole life of his, he had loved only one person. He would not let her down, and he would not let her family down either. As for the blood debt back then, the enemy is still alive. The moment they are confident enough to defeat the enemy, he will definitely return!"

    As she heard this, the youngdy sobbed silently.

    Ten years! They had been waiting to hear this for 10 whole years! After a long time, she finally regained her calm.

    "Come in." She invited Chen Feng in. Next, she looked at Mu Yuan. "You wait outside first."

    Mu Yuan was dumbstruck. "Ah? Oh."

    Chen Feng walked in doubtfully. That was because the information Gou Li had given him had clearly indicated that his wife Qi Qi only had a little brother and an old father. Apart from this, there were no other family members!

    This youngdy...

    Thump.

    The heavy sound of footsteps resounded. The old man wasing out after hearing the sound of activity out here.

    Abruptly, something astonishing happened.

    The so-called youngdy took off her long dress. Beneath the dress was a clean set of short sleeve cloths and short pants. With some water, she wiped her face and her current appearance vanished, exposing a clean-looking appearance on her face. The long hair on her head was taken off and stuffed into the cab beside her.

    Thump.

    The old man walked over. "Oh, Little Li is back?"

    "Father."

    He walked forth.

    "You are finished with your work?" The old man sighed. "Your older sister just took me back from the hospital. Aiyo, look at these old bones of mine..."

    Chen Feng was dumbstruck as he saw this.

    Wait. Sister?

    The guy called Little Li looked at Chen Feng apologetically.

    After a long time, when the old man had once again gone into the room to rest, he told Chen Feng the truth. His father had dementia. Coupled with that dried up heart of his, his body was in quite a bad condition. Presently, he was merely preserving his life with great difficulty. Therefore, he did not dare to provoke his emotions in any way. Moreover, those medicines that were too expensive were out of reach for them. At first, he had lied to his father, telling him that Qi Qi was too busy to return. However, as time had passed, this excuse had be harder to use.

    As such... in order to clear the doubts in his father¡¯s mind, the younger brother had decided to disguise himself as his sister!

    Finally... it had led to this scene Chen Feng saw today.

    "I quite resemble my sister." Little Li was somewhat shy as he said this, "Many people can¡¯t tell us apart."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    What a benevolent father and filial son!

    Mhm...

    What a harmonious family.

    Chen Feng felt somewhat gratified. Thisd had truly put his all into taking care of this father of his. After thinking for a bit, Chen Feng transmitted a certain amount of funds over to them.

    Chen Feng patted Little Li¡¯s shoulder. "Move to a better area. This money will be sufficient for the both of you to have a good life. Senior Gou will return one day."

    Little Li was grateful. "Many thanks!"

    However, currently, there¡¯s still one problem. Mu Yuan...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng started pitying him. What a pitiful guy...

    "Just tactfully reject him then." Chen Feng sighed endlessly. "Just pretend that you don¡¯t like him and reject him. Don¡¯t tell him the truth. Let this pitiful fellow keep at least some of his delusions."

    Soon, Chen Feng and Mu Yuan left.

    "Hehe, this time, I will definitely move her heart." Mu Yuan was feeling refreshed. "I¡¯m feeling even more confident now that she¡¯s a rtive of your friend."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    "Let me tell you, this youngdy here is truly kindhearted..." Mu Yuan continued talking about the youngdy in detail. He also told Chen Feng how the shadow cast onto his heart by the bunny girl had caused him to only dare to confirm that the youngdy was a genuine female after seeing her baby picture.

    "..." Chen Feng kept silent before asking, "What¡¯s her name?"

    "Qi Qi. What a nice-sounding name."

    At this moment, Mu Yuan¡¯s IQ seemed to linger in the single digits, as he had not noticed anything wrong at all.

    "Mhm." Finally, Chen Feng understood. Wasn¡¯t Qi Qi the name of Gou Li¡¯s dead wife? So the baby picture Mu Yuan saw was Gou Li¡¯s wife... mhm... Well, Mu Yuan could be considered to have profited, as he¡¯d gotten the chance to see everything of Gou Li¡¯s wife for free.

    As for whether he would end up chopped to death by Gou Li in the future, that was another story. What a pitiful fellow.

 Chapter 251: Certification

    Chapter 251: Certification

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Late that night, Chen Feng returned to the Gic Union. As for the matter pertaining to Mu Yuan, he could only encourage Little Li to tactfully reject him, to let Mu Yuan wallow in the loss of his love for a short while. As for letting him know the truth... there were things that some people were better off not knowing.

    At eight sharp, Chen Feng and Xu Fei arrived at the certification area as agreed. Surprising them, this ce was filled up with gic warriors. These warriors who were emitting terrifying aura out of their body stepped back to make way for these two to enter.

    C ss, B ss, A ss...

    As they walked the opened path, their hearts trembled. When these gic warriors looked at them, their eyes were filled with a toying expression. The certification of these two had indeed attracted a lot of attention.

    First, there was Xu Fei. Initially an ordinary employee of the Gic Union, due to his sess in this mission, he had gained fame with a single leap and been epted into the union, bing a core member. An instant transformation from a temporary worker into a permanent member of the union. This was something that had never happened before. From this, it was apparent that missions rted to the opening of a new camp were indeed the best venue to gain contributions. Now they were all curious about the actual strength of this Xu Fei.

    Next there was Chen Feng. The reason he¡¯d piqued their interest was obvious. He was a gene producer¡ªa gene producer with a unique ability who had been invited to join their mission at thest minute. Despite the fact that he was a celebrity producer with great fame, hisbat power, on the other hand...

    Some were curious.

    Some were jealous.

    Some admired him.

    For various reasons, this ce was now filled with people.

    They were all aware of the terrifying strength demonstrated by Chen Feng during the rookiepetition. Even if they hadn¡¯t seen it with their own eyes, they would have heard of it somewhere else.

    Chen Feng¡¯s actualbat power was definitely not low. However, that was merely apetition! In apetition, gene reagents could be used! Moreover, unlimited materials and time were given for production. In the real world, though, none of those were given! Here... at the certification grounds of the Gic Union, the usage of gene reagents was prohibited!

    This was a ce where only purebat power would be tested.

    "This is, after all, not a test provided by the production association."

    A lot of people were not optimistic about Chen Feng¡¯s results for this certification. A gene producer was normally weak in regard tobat power. If even the usage of gene reagents was restricted...

    Someone sneered. "Well, it¡¯s about time these celebrity producers know the difference between their certification and our certification."

    As far as some of them were concerned, Chen Feng was simply here to insult them! A producer like him had the guts toe here for certification? This was simply him representing all producers to provoke the gic warriors!

    Imagine if a D-ss gene producer like Chen Feng passed their D-ss certification. Where should the D-ss warriors of the Gic Union who¡¯d failed this certification put their face?

    Chen Feng and Xu Fei walked forth toward the certification center.

    "The arrangements arepleted," said the person in charge.

    "All right."

    Chen Feng and Xu Fei entered.

    Shua!

    The door for the certification center opened.

    Behind the door... a huge hall appeared before their eyes.

    To avoid outside disturbance and keep any unexpected incidents from happening, all the gic warriors undergoing certification were cleared out of this ce. As of now, this whole center was only avable for the both of them.

    Chen Feng was somewhat dumbstruck. "Isn¡¯t this somewhat excessive?"

    "This is what you both deserve," the person in charge said indifferently before a sneer appeared on his face. "There are still some who believe that you and Xu Fei were merely lucky enough to get the chance to tag along during this mission. For the safety of the both of you, we can¡¯t reveal more details of the mission to them. As such, the only thing we can do is demonstrate your strength to them!"

    Here, he was the only one aware of how dangerous the mission had been.

    If clearing up newnds to build a camp was so easy a feat, they would have done it long ago! For the sess of this mission, 90% of the contribution was thanks to Chen Feng and Xu Fei! They were clear of this! This was the glory belonging to the both of them!

    "Proceed, then. It¡¯s time to wake those people up," the person in charge said with a smile.

    The corner of Chen Feng¡¯s mouth curled up, forming a smile. "You are not afraid that those people will be overly shocked?"

    The person in charge smiled calmly. "It¡¯s even better if that¡¯s possible."

    "All right." Now Chen Feng was feeling confident. Obtaining the support of the person in charge here signified the huge importance they¡¯d ced on him. Next, he only needed to let these people know the actualbat power of him, the celebrity producer!

    Shua!

    Chen Feng and Xu Fei entered.

    Within the hall, two androids that looked exactly the same as humans appeared. This was how the certifications of Gic Union were conducted, throughbat with androids!

    The first batch: F ss!

    These androids were built with the standard body and abilities of an F ss. As such, a wless F-ssbat power would be disyed by these androids. After defeating one of them, one would be able to pass the F-ss certification.

    The certification here was unrted to one¡¯s actual ss. The only thing tested was one¡¯s actualbat power. If one failed to pass this certification, even if one was actually in B ss, one would still fail to get the rewards for the F-ss certification.

    Soon.

    Hum¡ª

    The eyes of both F-ss androids started flickering with light.

    Certification began!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    With a single punch, both androids copsed immediately. For the present them, F-ss androids like these were simply not a problem.

    Shua!

    F-ss certification: passed.

    Second batch: E ss.

    Two androids that had obviously been produced from better materials appeared. The observers around them were already filled with anticipation. Although both Chen Feng and Xu Fei were in D ss, one of them was a normal submarine crew and the other was a producer. As such, as far as they were concerned, these two weren¡¯t particrly strong.

    Perhaps... they would fail at E ss?

    Bang!

    Bang!

    After two shes, Chen Feng and Xu Fei retracted their hands calmly as the two androids in front of them were flung away.

    One punch!

    Once again, it was a single punch!

    Two people, one punch per person to deal with their respective opponent.

    On top of that, no gic abilities had been used!

    What joke was that? With their currentbat power, when facing someone who was much weaker than them, there was simply no need for any gic abilities.

    Someone was astonished. "They actually insta-killed the androids."

    "Well, they are D sses after all. Theirbat power shouldn¡¯t be too weak..."

    Someone said in disdain, "I suppose they will be quickly defeated once they reach D-ss certification."

    However, the gaze of some of the crowd was already different when looking at Chen Feng and Xu Fei.

    Granted, both of them had only defeated a mere E-ss android. However, their acts of defeating the androids were not the crucial point here. The crux here was the method in which they battled!

    Insta-killing! Using their fists!

    In their memories, Chen Feng and Xu Fei seemed to have spirit as their main attribute, so they should be physically weak without using gic abilities, right? If that was the case, their actualbat power...

    "Hiss¡ª"

    At this thought, the expressions of some of the crowd changed. They now knew that these two who hadpleted that mission probably possessed much strongerbat power.

    Shua!

    D-ss certification began.

    Shua!

    The third batch of androids appeared.

    Both androids charged toward Chen Feng and Xu Fei.

    For D-ss certifications, the androids used would have a main attribute of 10,000 points and threemon gic abilities fused. Apart from this, a certain amount ofbat techniques were also installed within the androids, giving them a certain amount ofbat power.

    "I¡¯m afraid this will be a bitter battle for them."

    "Mhm, however, they still stand some chance. After all, this is only a D-ss certification..." the crowd guessed.

    However, outside of all their expectations, at this moment, Xu Fei took the initiative to make the first move.

    Bang!

    With a single step forward, his silhouette seemed to drift past the androids. Next, with a "ka cha" sound, a round android¡¯s head could be seen rolling on the ground.

    Shua!

    Around them, everyone sunk into silence.

 Chapter 252: Conquer

    Chapter 252: Conquer

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    It¡¯s over! Xu Fei had taken less than two seconds to end the battle in such a straightforward way. Before everyone else had even gotten the chance to recover from their shock, the other android reached Chen Feng and the next battle began.

    Hum¡ª

    Instantly, Chen Feng assembled his Energy Equipment.

    Bang!

    His punchnded.

    Bang!

    A hole was created in the android¡¯s chest from the punch.

    Thus, the battle ended with another insta-kill.

    "????"

    Everyone there was dumbstruck. It ended just like that?

    They had initially believed that this would be a dragged out battle and, by the time it ended, regardless of Xu Fei or Chen Feng, they would have already erupted with an unimaginably powerful strength.

    This was their assessment despite the androids being standard D ss.

    However, those were insta-kills they had achieved there! What was going on? They were all stupefied.

    If it was Xu Fei, fine. No matter what, he was still a gic warrior, after all, despite the fact that he had previously been a normal employee. But wasn¡¯t Chen Feng a gene producer?! If he was allowed to use gene reagents, this would be easier to ept. They were truly convinced of Chen Feng¡¯s strength as a gene producer. However, this was a test where the use of gene reagents was prohibited.

    This Chen Feng...

    At this point, many of them already had a solemn expression on their face. As for those D-ss gic warriors that had not passed their D-ss certification so far, they were feeling somewhat awkward. Something they had not aplished had been aplished by Chen Feng.

    On top of that, Chen Feng was younger than all of them! Moreover, he was a freaking gene producer!

    The mouth of someone curled up, forming a smile. "Well, this makes things interesting."

    Currently, along with their passing of the certification, the gazes of the others when looking at them changed into acknowledgement. At least, these two¡¯s actualbat power matched their present ss. Here at the Gic Union, strength was the only standard they adhered by.

    What were the types of people that were looked down on by the Gic Union? Those whose ss had advanced, yet their actualbat power stillgged behind. Such a person was what the Gic Union looked down on. Only by passing the Gic Union¡¯s certification could one be considered to have truly reached the newly advanced ss. As for those capable of transcending sses to challenge those in a higher ss, these people would be genuine geniuses. Even more so for those who transcended their ss and passed the certification for a ss above them!

    Every single month, a few such people would appear to stun everyone. As for Chen Feng and Xu Fei? No one had ever considered the possibility of them aplishing that.

    And now, the fourth batch, the certification for C ss, officially began.

    Shua!

    Two androids with lights swirling around their bodies appeared.

    "It¡¯s starting."

    Everyone¡¯s eyes shone.

    They were now aware that both Chen Feng and Xu Fei had quite the formidablebat power. However, how strong were they actually? This would depend on how long they survived under the attacks of the C-ss androids. Normally, those who barely passed the D-ss certification would not be able tost against even a single move from the android here.

    "From their previous battle, they will probably be able tost over 10 moves," someone guessed.

    The power Xu Fei and Chen Feng had erupted with earlier was quite powerful. As such, even when facing someone in C ss that was supposed to be much more powerful than them,sting more than 10 moves was still probable for them. At least, this was what the crowd believed.

    "Pfft." Someone said in disdain, "Ten moves? Do you think a C ss is something so ordinary? If you ask me, I think they won¡¯tst even two moves! True, in their previous battle, it might have appeared that they insta-killed the androids. However, they had already erupted with all their strength there. Chen Feng with his Energy Equipment and that sudden strength eruption of Xu Fei¡¯s. It is simply impossible for them to be any much stronger than that."

    Some nodded slightly as they agreed with this assessment.

    C ss and D ss were simply akin to two different worlds. Even if the additional gic ability was ignored, the attributes alone had a disparity of tenfold. This was simply a battle between those in different leagues.

    Ten moves? Impossible.

    Now, as both androids neared Chen Feng and Xu Fei, a new battle was starting.

    This time, Xu Fei was still the one to make the first move. Before the android even got near him, he charged forth at the start of the battle. His battling style was still as explosive as ever.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Xu Fei started raging as his punches rained forth. At this instant, a formidable power erupted. Since his body reconstruction at the frozen sea, since the transformation at the frozen sea, even Chen Feng was unaware of the actual strength this guy possessed.

    Along with the loss of all the hair on his body, an unimaginable power had been obtained by him!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    An endless me emerged. Facing this C-ss android, Xu Fei erupted with all his strength at first contact. All the me he could muster was concentrated on his fist as he shot out his punches.

    Raging me Fist! This was the first ability Chen Feng had seen from Xu Fei when they¡¯d first met. However, this time, when this ability was once again used, its might was astonishingly dreadful!

    Bang!

    me bloomed.

    Hum¡ª

    Opposite him, the android started emitting a chilly radiance from its body. Facing Xu Fei¡¯s me, it had zero fear as its terrifying gic ability charged forth toward Xu Fei. If nothing unexpected were to happen, this would be the first direct collision between the both of them.

    Xu Fei vs android!

    Both with their strongest method of attack!

    "Here ites!"

    Everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with anticipation.

    Such a confrontation was something they had seen many times before. If their guesses were correct, after this collision, the weaker side would sink into a disadvantageous position. What followed next would be the weaker side being pushed back consecutively, sinking into a deeper disadvantageous position before, finally, ending up defeated.

    This was how a typical battle would progress.

    However, just as their attacks were about to collide, everyone¡¯s pupils shrunk. This...

    In midair, the two attacks that were about to collide, at this moment, missed each other.

    Xu Fei! He had actually taken the initiative to change his attack trajectory.

    Shua!

    Everyone stood up abruptly.

    "What is he thinking of doing?"

    Their hearts thumped furiously. This was simply a battling method where both sides would be killed together!

    As Xu Fei had changed his attack trajectory to aim straight at the android, this signified that their attacks would not collide; instead, they would be mutually attacking each other¡¯s bodies!

    "Careful." The person in charge¡¯s expression changed slightly. What joke was this? Competing in body durability with an android? Had he gone crazy? This was simply a certification!

    The expressions of everyone there changed greatly. No one had expected that this guy called Xu Fei would be so crazy. Including the person in charge, a group of experts were already prepared to make their move to rescue Xu Fei.

    However, at this moment.

    Bang!

    The attacksnded. At that, everyone¡¯s eyes widened abruptly.

    "That is..."

    Everyone was stunned.

    There, Xu Fei¡¯s attack hadnded loudly and smashed the android apart. Simrly, the entirety of the android¡¯s attack hadnded on Xu Fei¡¯s body. That terrifying power caused countless people¡¯s hearts to palpitate as they prepared to rescue Xu Fei. Although they had sneered at Xu Fei, they would definitely not allow something to happen to him.

    However, right at this moment, a faint blue radiance flickered on Xu Fei¡¯s body.

    Hum¡ª

    Next, the attack that hadnded on Xu Fei¡¯s body started dissolving at an inconceivable speed. By the time it touched his flesh, only one tenth of its original strength remained.

    "Pu!"

    Xu Fei spurted out a mouthful of blood.

    Even if this was only one tenth of its original power, it was evidently still quite a hard attack to receive with his body. However, at the same time...

    Bang!

    The android exploded on the spot.

    He won!

    Everyone¡¯s heart leaped furiously.

    All these felt like it had taken a long time to ur. However, in fact, from the start of Xu Fei¡¯s attack until now, only two seconds had passed. Chen Feng¡¯s battle had yet to even start!

    Xu Fei had taken one second to approach the android and another second to exchange blows with the android. Next, the battle had ended. Such a simple and straightforward battle.

    "This..."

    Everyone else was stupefied.

    Transcending ss! This was an act of him transcending his ss to challenge someone of a higher ss! Apart from the original geniuses of the union, this temporary worker that had just joined had aplished this feat as well! What an inconceivableeback!

    They gulped. "How ferocious!"

    Previously, there were still some who¡¯d looked down on Xu Fei. Now, as Xu Fei passed the C-ss certification, the gazes of everyone when looking at him were filled with only admiration and eptance. This was how a member of the Gic Union should be! Xu Fei had used such a method to win everyone¡¯s approval.

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "Not bad."

    These fellows from the Gic Union were quite straightforward in nature. If they disliked you, it would be made known. If they admired you, it would be clear as well. Such a characteristic was what Chen Feng admired.

    Then, next, let me conquer your hearts!

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    Shua!

    Energy Equipment, assembled.

 Chapter 253: Shall We Forget It?

    Chapter 253: Shall We Forget It?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the Gic Union, everyone was focused on the uing battle with interested expressions. Just a short while ago, Xu Fei¡¯s explosive way of dealing with the C-ss android had obtained their approval. And now Chen Feng¡¯s android had finally reached him.

    Bang!

    A terrifying energy was condensed. The C-ss android¡¯s eyes flickered with a red light as its battle intent surged. Chen Feng was now locked onto by the android.

    "Here ites!" Chen Feng sunk into a solemn mood. The C-ss android was too powerful, and it simply surpassed Chen Feng¡¯s current strength in every aspect. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not be this android¡¯s opponent.

    But now...

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    Shua!

    His Energy Equipment assembly waspleted. A dazzling radiance swirled around Chen Feng¡¯s body. Everyone was aware that this was Chen Feng¡¯s Energy Equipment, which was capable of providing him greatbat power. However, it was still somewhatcking if he wished to defeat the C-ss android with this.

    The reason for that was quite simple. Even if Chen Feng possessed an Energy Equipment, the android had its own secret art as well. Chen Feng might be able to amplify his strength using the Energy Equipment, but the android was also able to amplify its strength by a great amount.

    Bang!

    The android erupted. At this instant, a terrifying power bloomed, not unlike the previous encounter between Xu Fei and the android. The energy swirling around Chen Feng was condensed as he charged toward the android. Surprising everyone there, right this moment, his Energy Equipment separated from his body.

    This... They widened their eyes. There¡¯s such a method of operating the Energy Equipment?

    Xiu!

    The shiny Energy Equipment smashed toward the android with a terrifying might.

    "The f*ck, this works?"

    Someone eximed in admiration, "Energy Equipment seperating from the user¡¯s body? How does this work?"

    However, after being momentarily amazed by it, they were able to get a clear judgment on it. "An attack at this level might be powerful, but it is only sufficient to deal serious damage to the android."

    That¡¯s right, dealing a serious injury yet failing to kill it. What Chen Feng needed to face next would be the android¡¯s desperate trump cardunched before death, an attack more terrifying than its opening move. In the end, both of them would probably die together.

    Based on the rules, perishing together with the android would not be considered a pass. Suddenly, Chen Feng raised his hand.

    Shua!

    A gust of energy shot out from his hand.

    With that, Chen Feng disyed a brand new ability. This was an ability Luck Aura had selected out of Myriad Illussions. It was capable of shrinking the Energy Equipment to a certain extent yet only required one point of luck value to activate.

    What would the effect of this ability be? Only God would know.

    Shua!

    That released energy shot forth andnded on the Energy Equipment. Next, the shiny and powerful-looking Energy Equipment started shrinking rapidly.

    The initially huge Energy Equipment was now as small as a goose¡¯s egg.

    "Shrink!"

    Some recognized that ability. It was an ability capable of reducing the size of a released ability or attack without reducing its power. However, what was the point of using it now?

    Finally, the Energy Equipment collided with the android. Due to the abrupt reduction in the Energy Equipment¡¯s size, the android had to instantly readjust its posture to deal with it. Next, the goose-egg-size Energy Equipment was stuffed straight into its mouth.

    !!!!

    Everyone present was rmed.

    Bang!

    Subsequently, a terrifying energy explosion happened.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    A terrifying sound of explosion could be heard. What they heard was not only the sound from the Energy Equipment¡¯s explosion; it also included the explosion of the android¡¯s own attack, which it had lost control over due to the Energy Equipment¡¯s explosion in its mouth.

    The me from the explosion was extremely bright. No one was able to see clearly what was going on.

    After a long time, an android¡¯s head with electrical currents coiled around it was flung out of the center of the explosion beforending and starting to roll on the ground.

    The C-ss android was dead!

    Everyone sunk into silence. Nobody had expected Chen Feng to obtain victory in such a manner. Even if the scene where his Energy Equipment separated from his body was ignored, the scene where the Energy Equipment shrunk at the point of collision before it was stuffed right into the android¡¯s mouth followed by an explosion was quite an intoxicating scene.

    The feeling when one witnessed that scene was simply indescribable.

    As of now, both Chen Feng and Xu Fei had passed their C-ss certification. Both these new members had used such methods to obtain everyone¡¯s approval. Now, the fifth batch of androids had appeared as well.

    B-ss certification officially began!

    "They are attempting the B-ss certification?"

    Everyone widened their eyes. Had these two gone crazy?

    "This might be the Gic Union¡¯s arrangement," someone guessed.

    Some couldn¡¯t understand. "For what?"

    "Obviously to teach them the true strength of the Gic Union." Someone started to analyze it in a professional manner, "Think about it. Where should the Union put their face when two mere new members start dominating the certification the moment they joined? Hence, they decided to show them the Gic Union¡¯s strength by throwing some B-ss androids at them."

    "So that¡¯s the case."

    Everyone felt enlightened.

    Unfortunately, they were probably unaware that this was simply not what the union had intended. The only reason this certification session had proceeded into B ss was due to it being the request of Chen Feng and Xu Fei.

    Shua!

    Two new androids walked into the hall.

    The energy swirling around these androids and the material they were made from were obviously different than the previous androids. Both these androids appeared to be radiating a sense of elegance.

    "It¡¯s here!"

    Xu Fei¡¯s eyes shone.

    He was clear on his actual strength. Chen Feng was an all-rounded type of warrior specializing in no particr aspect. As such, he had no obvious weak points as well, and he would be able to use various tricks to get himself out of a predicament.

    This did not apply to Xu Fei. His initial strength was quite weak. Even after his body had been reconstructed by the tortoise¡¯s blood, he still specialized in only a single aspect: attack!

    Only by attacking could he demonstrate his superiority.

    "Come."

    Xu Fei was filled with battle intent.

    Bang!

    Just as the android entered the hall, Xu Fei erupted with his attack. Just like he had previously, he moved quickly and violently as he instantly unleashed all his power.

    This was his full-power attack. Opposite him, red light flickered in the android¡¯s eyes as it brandished its hands to counter attack.

    Bang!

    With a violent shockwave, their attacks collided, followed by an explosion.

    Pu!

    Xu Fei started spurting blood as he was flung away. The aftershock of the previous collision was intercepted by the person in charge before it spread further. With this, the battle ended. This was simply a battle between those in different leagues.

    Xu Fei smiled bitterly. "The disparity is too big."

    "You are only D ss," the person in charge stated petntly.

    These two bastards were simply too crazy, even if they were indeed attempting to transcend their ss. If he had been somewhat slower, what would they have done if an incurable injury washad been suffered? Wouldn¡¯t they be crippled after that?

    The person in charge felt helpless. "The two of you..."

    "Chen Feng!" The person in charge stopped both Chen Feng and the B-ss android that were about to start their battle and said, "You have seen for yourself what happened to Xu Fei. How about we forget this?"

    The disparity was truly too big! The crowd around them agreed with this as well. Their feat of defeating the C-ss android was sufficient for them to stand tall. It was possible for one to transcend a single ss. However, as for transcending two sses? That was simply impossible!

    Even if gic abilities were ignored, the disparity of their attributes alone was as wide as heaven and Earth! For these two who were only in D ss, their main attribute would only be 10,000 points at most. As for B ss? Even if it was only an android, even if the weakest B-ss certification android was used, its attributes would be reaching at least a hundred thousand points.

    How was it possible for them to defeat such an opponent?

 Chapter 254: End of Certification!

    Chapter 254: End of Certification!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    B ss...

    Chen Feng stared at the android in front of him. Even without the person in charge telling him about it, he could also feel the android¡¯s strength. However, if he were to give up just like this, it would be too much of a regret.

    Chen Feng sighed. This is something worth a tenfold of mission points...

    Mission points was the core mechanic the Gic Union used in their reward system. As long as onepleted a corresponding mission, one would be able to obtain a certain amount of mission points. Using the mission points, one would be able to exchange for whatever they wished.

    And the most generous amount of mission points could be obtained by passing the certifications.

    F-ss certification: 10 points

    E-ss certification: 100 points

    D-ss certification: 1,000 points

    C-ss certification: 10,000 points

    B-ss certification: 100,000 points!

    ...

    The amount of mission points one ss¡¯s certification would award was multiple timesrger than the previous ss¡¯s certification. This was also the reason every member of the Gic Union tried their best to pass the certification. The moment one broke through into a new ss, as long as one passed the certification for it, one would be able to obtain a huge amount of points, which could then be used to exchange for items to greatly increase their strength.

    All sorts of things could be obtained using these points.

    For example, the D-ss spirit training room, a room capable of increasing one¡¯s spirit attribute by a huge amount. Moreover, it would also help one increase their spiritual control and stability. Every hour using this room would exhaust 100 points.

    Another example was all sorts of powerful secret arts. At the Gene Production Association, one would be able to obtain the forms for all sorts of gene armaments using the points there. Here at the Gic Union, one would be able to obtain all sorts of powerful secret arts.

    Apart from these, there was also a multitude of other methods of using the points here.

    Chen Feng was clear on what his current goal was. He was now at 6,000 points of spiritual energy. If he were to train in the D-ss spirit training room for a period of time, he would definitely be able to increase his spiritual energy greatly. Since using timber roons for gene strengthening was no longer helpful for him, this was a rational method for him to improve himself.

    All these things would require mission points. Were the mission points for the C-ss certification huge in amount? As far as Chen Feng was concerned, it was simply a small amountpared to his needs. If he wanted to maintain his high speed advancement, he had to obtain the mission points awarded for passing the B-ss certification.

    Chen Feng started stirring. "It¡¯s not like I have no chance of passing this."

    He needed to give it a try no matter what. There was nothing to lose anyway.

    "I wish to continue the challenge!" Chen Feng stated without any hesitation.

    The person in charge sighed. "Fine."

    It is also a good to just let him try once, lest he keep thinking about it in the future.

    Shua!

    Once again, the android was activated.

    The challenge began!

    Hum¡ª

    Red radiance started bubbling. The android was about to make its move. Chen Feng inhaled deeply. Such an android was extremely powerful. With abat strength up to the standards of its corresponding ss, instability in its strength level definitely would not happen. However, despite the numerous advantages enjoyed by the android, the android possessed a weakness that couldn¡¯t quite be considered as a weakness. This was the same weakness Chen Feng had encountered previously.

    Ah.

    Chen Fengughed lightly.

    Hum¡ª

    Around him, a seemingly endless energy condensed suddenly.

    There was no charging or preparation time. Rather, the only thing he currently focused on was speed. After using Energy Equipment, Energy Equipment explosion, and all sorts of other powerful moves in his earlier matches, this time, Chen Feng had once again returned to one of his basic abilities: Myriad Illusionary Wind de!

    With the help of his luck value, he activated Myriad Illusionary Wind de.

    Within every single de he unleashed, 50% of the de¡¯s energy was made up of the original wind attribute of the de.

    Every single one of these des was focused on speed, possessing astonishing speed. And in every single one of these des was also various odd abilities whose functions were something even Chen Feng himself was not aware of.

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    Instantly, several hundred Wind des were unleashed. The amount unleashed was quite astonishing. Back when Chen Feng had been a mere F ss, he had only been able to release 10 Wind des per second. As he¡¯d improved in strength, this amount had increased without stop. However, what sorts of revision were required in the ways he activated this ability and the amount of luck value required were changing along with the increase of his strength. As such, he had always been clueless regarding this aspect.

    But now, the Luck Aura was capable of giving Chen Feng urate feedback: 300 Wind des per second, one point of luck value exhaustion.

    This was Chen Feng¡¯s current strength, much stronger than the previous him. After his Luck Aura had gone through several optimizations, this was the revised amount of luck value exhaustion for his Wind des.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    He erupted with a huge amount of Wind des, stunning everyone there.

    "This..."

    Abruptly, the pupils of the crowd shrank.

    Three hundred Wind des per second, such a terrifying amount was sufficient to shock everyone. Moreover, the scariest part of these Wind des was not the amount. Rather, it was the huge amount of odd properties embedded into the des.

    Every single one of the des was a fusion of the original Wind de with a different ability, with the end result being a de equivalent to a 2-star secret art. What Chen Feng¡¯s opponent needed to face was not a huge amount of Wind des. Rather, it was 300 types of different 2-star secret arts in a single second.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Just as the android started to make its first move, an additional 300 Myriad Illusionary Wind des appeared.

    All sorts of odd radiance and abilities bloomed in the air. Everyone else was witnessing this with a dumbstruck expression on their face. None of them were able to get a clear idea of what this ability was.

    Ice des...

    me des...

    Poisonous wind...

    Lighting des...

    All sorts of crescent-shaped des bloomed.

    In a short instant, the whole certification center was filled with these Wind des. All the Wind des only had a single target: the B-ss android.

    "What damnable thing is this?"

    Everyone was horrified. They had never seen such a terrifying ability. The only exception was Xu Fei, who had a knowing expression on his face. This was a scene way too familiar to him...

    "Di di¡ª"

    The android detected the crisis. Defense activated.

    A terrifying circr defensive barrier appeared around him. Chen Feng¡¯s Wind des started bombarding the defensive barrier, yet they failed to break through it. The android was safe and sound.

    "Couldn¡¯t break the defense?"

    Only at this did everyone there regain their calm.

    This attack of Chen Feng¡¯s seemed quite terrifying. However, in fact, its power was only at D ss. Even if he could challenge those of a higher ss with this, his disparity with someone in B ss was still too huge, to the point where he couldn¡¯t even break through the defense.

    "He can¡¯t even prate a slightest bit of the defense?"

    Everyone looked at the collision point.

    Those shiny des of Chen Feng¡¯s did not even leave so much as a ripple on the barrier. It was too weak.

    "Seems like he¡¯s going to suffer defeat soon," everyone said.

    Under such a circumstance, the android only needed a single casual counterattack, and Chen Feng would be defeated.

    However, before the android could even get the chance to counter attack, a huge amount of Wind des were once again unleashed. This time, all 360 degrees around the android was filled with the torrent of des.

    Wind des!

    Wind des!

    A huge amount of Wind des everywhere, bombarding the barrier without stop.

    "What is he thinking of doing?"

    Everyone was looking at this with a dumbstruck expression.

    Chen Feng had actually used such an arduous yet pointless method just to not give the android a chance to attack? Indeed, his attacks appeared violent; however, how long could hest? One or two seconds?

    They started doubting him.

    However...

    One second.

    Two seconds.

    Three seconds.

    ...

    Time passed quietly.

    When one minute passed, everyone¡¯s expression changed slightly. When two minutes passed, an rmed expression appeared on everyone¡¯s face. Even the person in charge appeared shocked. When three minutes passed, the person in charge had an extremely unsightly expression on his face.

    Ka!

    Ka!

    A crisp sound appeared. It did not attract much attention, though.

    Ka!

    Ka!

    The sound continued.

    Suddenly, on the seemingly unbreakable defensive barrier, faint cracks started appearing. Next, violent ripples started appearing on the barrier, and two secondster, the whole barrier copsed loudly.

    "What happened?"

    Everyone¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    Something had happened!

    Bang!

    The huge amount of Wind des streaked forth. The android was immediately flung away. After itnded on the ground, it never stood up. Its body still appeared perfect with no damage suffered. However...

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    Everyone looked over with shock. The person in charge was ashen faced. As he walked forrward to check on the android, he sighed.

    "Energy exhausted..."

    Shua!

    The whole crowd sunk into silence.

    Energy exhaustion???

    They could not dare to even believe this. A B-ss android with the energy-cirction module and a natural energy-recovery capability to form aplete self-energy-cirction system would actually get beaten to the point where its energy was exhausted?

    This, this, this...

    "This works?"

    Everyone there was dumbstruck. Chen Feng¡¯s battling methods had truly opened their eyes.

    A person meekly asked, "Passing the certification in such a manner doesn¡¯t count, right?"

    The person in charge looked at him. "Do you want to try reenacting the same thing?"

    "Oh..." Immediately, that person felt awkward. As the others recalled that terrifying ability of Chen Feng¡¯s, they were speechless as well. If they were to face such a huge Wind de bombardment... they would be helpless against it as well!

    Dodging? The Wind des had simply been everywhere. There was no ce one could dodge to.

    The most terrifying aspect of it was the fact that all sorts of odd abilities had been contained within those des. If one were hit by even one of those des, things could get dangerous.

    "I will be able to deal with this easily." A B-ss gic warrior called Lan Xing walked out and sneered. "This method might work against the android. However, against us true B-ss experts, it simply won¡¯t work. With my strength, a single punch is sufficient to kill him," Lan Xing said confidently. He was certain that, with Chen Feng¡¯s standard, the most Chen Feng could aplish was bully some androids.

    "So?" The person in charge looked at him like he was looking at an idiot. "Please enlighten me, which newbie that has just passed their B-ss certification can defeat a true long-time B-ss warrior right off the bat? Have you forgotten that this was a certification where the android was at the weakest standard among all B ss?"

    Shua!

    The others all came to themselves.

    True, this was merely a certification using the android of the weakest B-ss standard. Was this veteran B-ss warrior here feeling very superior, boasting about how he could defeat Chen Feng with a single punch?

    That was simply too embarrassing of him!

    Moreover... Chen Feng was merely at D ss presently! And he was only 18 years old!

    At this thought, everyone looked at Lan Xing like they were looking at an idiot. Immediately, Lan Xing felt like he had been pped.

    The person in charge indifferently said, "Remember, moving forward, Chen Feng and Xu Fei are members of the Gic Union. You all can use all sorts of methods to challenge them or form squads with them. However, I do not wish to see you all scheme against each other due to something like status."

    "Don¡¯t worry," everyone agreed.

    In truth, from the moment Chen Feng and Xu Fei had passed their C-ss certifications, they had gained the approval of these warriors. It was only Chen Feng¡¯s subsequent act being too ferocious that had shocked some of them.

    As of now, Chen Feng and Xu Fei had sessfully blended with those gic warriors in the Gic Union.

    The first thing they chose to do was increase their strength. After experiencing the frozen sea incident and knowing about Gou Li¡¯s scandal back then, Chen Feng and Xu Fei were thirsting for a strength increase. Xu Fei had chosen to exhaust all his contribution points to go into seclusion. As for Chen Feng, the first thing he did was to go to a D-ss spirit training room to improve himself.

 Chapter 255: Charge!

    Chapter 255: Charge!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Within the training room, Chen Feng was summarizing his recent improvements. Based on current avable data, 100 mission points could be used to get an hour of the D-ss training room¡¯s usage. During this hour, 50 points of spiritual energy could be increased. Evidently, this was quite a powerful room. Moreover, there was zero danger when using this room. More importantly, it could also help stabilize and improve the control of one¡¯s newly gained power. As such, training here would help one control their spiritual energy better as well.

    Under normal circumstances, a gic warrior that had just passed the D-ss certification would receive 1,000 mission points. If all of them were used to increase one¡¯s spiritual energy, one would be able to increase 500 points of spiritual energy in a single day.

    "Fifty points per hour."

    Chen Feng calcted silently. With 50 points per hour and 24 hours per day, he would be able to obtain 1,200 points per day. This terrifying method of improvement was simply much faster than gene strengthening through hunting timber roons.

    Naturally, the price one paid for this was extremely high as well. Due to the high amount of contribution points required, every time one wished to improve oneself, a huge amount of mission points would be required. If Chen Feng hadn¡¯t passed the B-ss certification, he would not dare to do this.

    As for now?

    Hehe.

    Chen Feng walked into the training room. Under the dumbfounded gaze of the employee there, he casually spent 8,000 mission points to book the room for 80 hours.

    "Let¡¯s begin, then."

    Thus Chen Feng entered a temporary seclusion.

    The spirit training room was a specially produced sealed space. When Chen Feng walked into the room, he had a feeling that this was an independent world constructed by a super expert. Different from the Crescent Moon Spring produced by the Gene Production Association, the method of improvement here was more simr to the Life and Death Domain he¡¯d encountered back then, which was more violent in nature.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Clumps of illusions formed of spiritual energy appeared.

    These illusions needed to be killed to render the spiritual energy that formed their bodies masterless and avable for absorption.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Chen Feng started his killing spree.

    Steadily, his spiritual energy started increasing.

    Five dayster, Chen Feng ended his seclusion without any hups. As of now, his spiritual energy had reached 10,000 points. He was now a peak D-ss gic warrior.

    The only regret he had was his failure to obtain the final point required to push him into C-ss no matter how much he¡¯d tried. Even C-ss spirit training room wouldn¡¯t work.

    These rooms were only suitable for a stable increase in spiritual energy, rather than breaking through.

    Chen Feng felt regretful. "Indeed, it doesn¡¯t work."

    He had spent 2,000 mission points to try the C-ss spirit training room. Added up with the previous mission points he¡¯d used, he had now used 10,000 mission points and had around 100,000 mission points remaining.

    Secret arts were something he did not require for now. A secret art in the traditional sense was simply something not suited for him. Therefore, his next target would be to break through his limit mode.

    If there were training rooms suited for stable increase of attributes here at the Gic Union, naturally, there were also unique methods dedicated for breakthrough avable here.

    "You want to exchange your points for a breakthrough n? Kindly wait a moment."

    Soon, the employee passed Chen Feng a series of breakthrough ns.

    ----

    1. Name: Extremend¡¯s breakthrough. At a faraway extremend, a mystical nt exists. It is capable of helping one break through the D-ss limit. Breakthrough probability: 0.01%. Difficulty: 1 star. Mission points required: 0 points. Number of participants: unlimited

    2. Name: ... Breakthrough probability: 1%. Difficulty: 1 star. Mission points required: 100 points.

    3. Name: ... Breakthrough probability: 1.1%. Difficulty: 1 star. Mission points required: 100 points.

    ...

    208. Name: ... Breakthrough probability: 30%. Difficulty: 4 stars. Mission points required: 10,000 points.

    216. Name: ... Breakthrough probability: 35%. Difficulty: 3 stars. Mission points required: 20,000 points.

    ...

    ----

    This was an extremely long list. Apart from the first mission, which had an extremely low probability of breakthrough and was something that would be on the list permanently and was free, the other missions required mission points for one to qualify for them.

    Chen Feng started studying the list. Based on the change in the difficulty and probability, the amount of mission points required changed as well.

    As the Gene Production Association was focused on production, one could only exchange for forms or methods of increasing production level using contribution points. As for the Gic Union, everything one could exchange for was only rted to an increase inbat power.

    There were so many D-ss limit breakthrough missions alone that they were uncountable.

    On the list, it could be seen that a lot of missions was darkening without stop. At the same time, a lot of new missions appeared without stop as well. The amount of limit breakthrough missions here were indeed high; however, the amount of gic warriors looking for breakthrough was even higher! On top of that, if they failed to breakthrough afterpleting a mission, they would take on a new mission. As such, the amount of avable missions would never be sufficient to satisfy their needs.

    Naturally, the breakthrough probability in this list was an additional probability of breakthrough for those who had chosen these missions. For some people, even without these missions, they were still able to break through by participating in extreme training or extreme battles. In fact, the amount of people who had broken through with such methods were quite high in amount.

    "Which should I choose?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes swirled around before halting at a particr set of data.

    ----

    233. Name: ...father died identally ...unique gene reagent ...able to help one breakthrough the limit of D ss... I need to take my father¡¯s remains back to our hometown. The gene reagent will be given to you... Breakthrough probability: 100%. Difficulty: 5 stars. Mission points required: 50,000 points!

    ----

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    100%! Gene reagent! These were what attracted him.

    He did not care about the 50,000 mission points he needed to pay for this. If he were able to obtain this gene reagent, perhaps he might even get the form to produce this gene reagent! Even if he couldn¡¯t get the form, after getting the gene reagent itself, he would be able to deduce the form or look for recement materials required to produce this gene reagent using his Luck Aura.

    If so, he might be able to produce D-ss breakthrough gene reagent in the future?

    "It has been quite a while since I restocked the shelves of The Strongest Gene..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s emotions surged.

    After he studied the list, he found that this was the most suitable mission for him. The required contribution points were extremely huge and scam-like, though.

    Chen Feng still had his doubts. "For such missions... do I need to participate myself?"

    "No." The employee shook his head. "The only thing you need to do is pay the mission points. As for the mission goal or progress, someone else will do it for you. The only reason some of these missions require the payer to go along on the mission is due to the harsh requirements for limit breakthrough. so as to avoid anything unexpected from happening."

    "In other words... if there¡¯s no other unique conditions specified, I can even wait here for the gene reagent to be send to me?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Naturally." The employee nodded. "If it was a breakthrough gene reagent, it is naturally possible for you to pay 50,000 as a payment to buy this gene reagent. Let me check the details for this mission. Mhm... gene reagent..." Soon, he shook his head. "I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not possible for this particr gene reagent. Based on the descriptions, this set of gene reagents is something that can only be produced sessfully at that ce, due to the unique environment there. Moreover, it can¡¯t even be moved into a bottle. The gene reagent might be produced sessfully, but it is immovable. One can only use the reagent on the spot."

    So that was the case. Now Chen Feng understood.

    Had that producer gone to that ce just to produce this gene reagent? Toward such a person who had researched his very own gene reagent and even sacrificed himself for it, Chen Feng could not help but have a sense of respect.

    "I will exchange my points for this mission, then," Chen Feng stated.

    "Are you sure?" The employee paused before continuing, "This mission has been issued for half a year. Due to the high amount of mission points required and the high difficulty of 5 stars, nobody has ever bothered to exchange their points for this."

    Chen Feng nodded. "I¡¯m sure."

    For others, this might not have been worth their contribution points. Using the same amount of mission points, they could exchange it for several missions with 30% breakthrough probability. That would be sufficient for their breakthrough. As such, this mission was simply not worth it for them.

    However, for Chen Feng, this mission was worth the mission points. This was akin to a brand new form for him...

    If he tried to create a new form out of thin air, his luck value wouldn¡¯t even budge, as it was simply impossible to aplish. However, if he obtained that gene reagent as a source of reference, it would be much simpler.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng confirmed his eptance of the mission. Time set: half a monthter.

    "When the timees, someone will be contacting you," the employee told Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng nodded. "Understood."

    So, this time, he will be going on this mission as a boss?

    Mhm...

    In other words, if everything were to proceed smoothly, he only needed to watch on as the otherspleted the mission for him. He only needed to tag along and wait for the gene reagent.

    Chen Fengughed. "It¡¯s truly unexpected that I will one day receive such treatment as well."

    Being the boss of a mission, this was a treatment he had never enjoyed before.

    "I¡¯m truly looking forward to it."

    Chen Feng was engrossed in his thoughts.

    Naturally, even if he was about to be a boss, he would still focus on improving himself. Based on his experience, during such an outdoor mission, some unexpected incidents would definitely happen. Granted, the mission points would be refunded if the mission failed, but what was the point of having all the points if he were to perish during the mission?

    "If you need it, we have a huge amount of temporary strength-increasing gene reagents here," the employee proposed.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "Oh?"

    However, as he studied the list, he was left disappointed. These were all items sent over here from the Gene Production Association. The price was indeed cheap, but the strength of these reagents were quite ordinary as well, as far as Chen Feng was concerned.

    "I can take this chance to make a trip back there, then."

    Chen Feng thought about it as he recalled that Hou Liang had previously told him that the Gene Production Association had a separate reward for him for the missionpletion.

    He put his thoughts into action immediately. The next day, he returned to the Gene Production Association. Surprising him, though, the moment he returned and reached the entrance, a huge amount of producers could be seen protesting against him.

    What¡¯s going on?

    Chen Feng was somewhat stupefied.

 Chapter 256: Producer Excellence Award!

    Chapter 256: Producer Excellence Award!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At Star City, Chen Feng stared nkly at the army of producers in front of him. All these producers that were normally arrogant and cold were now gathered together to protest something.

    "Shameless Chen Feng! Selfish Chen Feng!"

    "We shall never allow Chen Feng¡¯s rise!"

    "We don¡¯t need such a producer!"

    "Requesting to expel Chen Feng!"

    Countless banners and screens with these words could be seen midair.

    ???

    Chen Feng was somewhat stupefied.

    What¡¯s happening?

    As far as he remembered, when he¡¯d previously returned, he had still been somewhat popr and weed by everyone here. How had things changed so much this time?

    Finally, some of the crowd noticed him.

    Suddenly, some of them shouted. "It¡¯s Chen Feng!"

    "Where?"

    "There."

    Shit!

    Chen Feng started having a bad feeling. However, a pair of petite hands dragged him backward suddenly, hiding him from everyone¡¯s sight.

    Who?

    Chen Feng turned around, and what entered his sight was a pair of snow-white peaks.

    Ha Li?

    Chen Feng was astonished. The one who¡¯d dragged him away was the very Lady Ha Li, the owner of that world-epassing pair of peaks!

    "Shh." Ha Li dragged Chen Feng and continued running for quite a while before finally stopping at a ce where there was no one else around. After stopping, she started gasping for breath with her face flushed red. For cooped up nerd producers like her, it was incredibly rare to run this distance even once per year.

    "Senior Hou... told me to bring you over..." Ha Li said as she gasped for breath.

    "All right."

    Only at this did he understand why she was doing this.

    Hou Liang? Good, I want to know what¡¯s going on as well!

    Soon, he reached Hou Liang¡¯s room.

    "Sit," Hou Liang said indifferently.

    Chen Feng sat down and directly asked, "What happened?"

    "What else?" Hou Liang sighed before slowly borating.

    Every year, the Gene Production Association would choose the most excellent producer based on contribution points. This chosen producer would enjoy special privileges where a certain amount of resources would be concentrated on this producer.

    This was a way of showing appreciation to this excellent producer.

    However, outside of everyone¡¯s expectations, when the contribution point ranking had been released for this year, Chen Feng had been the one upying the top spot.

    "Me???"

    Chen Feng widened his eyes. How many missions had he taken?

    "Yes, it¡¯s you." Hou Liang was feeling helpless. Evidently, he had not expected this either. "Although the number of missions youpleted is quite low, look at the rank of every single mission youpleted! Almost all of them were at the ¡¯world danger¡¯ tier! There¡¯s also that new camp mission youpleted previously. The contribution points for such missions..." Hou Liang shook his head. In other words, this excellence award had nownded on Chen Feng.

    "Even if that¡¯s the case, they don¡¯t have to protest against me, right?" Chen Feng couldn¡¯t understand their motivation.

    Hou Liang shook his head and said, "The excellence award is merely a trigger. The crucial point is the status of the previous excellence award recipients. Are you aware of who those people are? They are all senior producers that are known and respected by all! Their high contribution points were obtained from their research papers! Almost all producers benefited from their research! As for you, although you have helped the world greatly with your missions, you have not directly benefited those producers. Do you understand now?"

    What were the tiers of mission Chen Feng hadpleted? World-danger-tier missions! These were all unique missions that were interlinked with the Gic Union as well. Apart from this, there was also the contribution points he¡¯d received for the warning of the catastrophic event he¡¯d given them¡ªthe uing crisis one year from now. This event had been confirmed as real by the master seers of the Gic Union. As a result, currently, the Gene Production Association and the Gic Union had started their secret project to face what was toe. However, all these were ssified and could not be made public.

    Even if these were made public, it would be extremely hard to obtain the recognition of those old, stubborn producers. The reason for that was because, in essence, the way in which Chen Feng hadpleted these missions was more in line with how those at the Gic Union would act, which was totally not helpful for the producers of the Gene Production Association.

    For example: the progress of the gene production profession.

    The previous recipients of the excellence award were all gene producers that were meticulous researchers who had achieved great breakthroughs in research pertaining to topics such as gene armaments and the like. After their breakthrough in research, they would sell their research results in exchange for mission points that others could obtain through missionpletions. As such, the other producers would be able to read these research results through their mission points.

    With every mission point they received from the sale of their research paper, the association would grant them an equivalent amount of contribution points. As such, based on the number of these contribution points, the association would be able to determine the biggest contributor to the organization.

    As the only purpose of contribution points was to disy one¡¯s fame, as far as everyone was concerned, the one with the most contribution honor points would be the one worthy of the excellence award. Furthermore, the association had a whole reward system that revolved around the contribution points. All these were to encourage those old producers to engage in research. A lot of producers spent their whole life in research just for this excellence award.

    This would be equivalent to one¡¯s lifetime achievement. The same was applicable this year. Several senior producers that were well known and prestigious had beenpeting intensely for this award, selling their research results at a discount to obtain more contribution points. Just as everyone had been enjoying this race between them, surprisingly, someone else had appeared with points far surpassing the others!

    Under normal circumstances, when a producerpleted a mission, the points awarded were not contribution points; instead, these were mission points that could only be used to purchase gene-production-rted items.

    However, every single missionpleted by Chen Feng was too astonishing and terrifying! Every single one of those missions had contributed to the whole world, giving him sufficient contribution points to push him to the top of the rankings!

    Finally, Chen Feng understood. "So that¡¯s the case."

    "Mhm." Hou Liang¡¯s head ached. "Those few fellows who werepeting for this award have now grouped together against you, requesting justice. This is especially true for that Lan Jingling..."

    Chen Feng was astonished. "Lan Jingling?"

    "Yes." Hou Liang nodded. "The Lan family is quite powerful. A lot of their family members are members of the headquarters of the Gic Union and the Gene Production Association. The reason for this uproar is also due to her agitating the public. Oh yeah, her younger brother is in the Gic Union as well. His name is Lan Xing; have you met him?"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He recalled that particr idiot that had been insulted by everyone to the point he couldn¡¯t show his face anywhere. Chen Feng seemed to hear others mentioning that the guy was called Lan Xing. He was ugly and stupid yet arrogant; however, in essence, he was not an evil person. Originally, Chen Feng had thought that they would only cross paths once. Unexpectedly, he would encounter Lan Jingling this time around...

    "I suppose the reason that Lan Xing went against me previously was for this as well," Chen Feng said knowingly.

    Due to his sister losing the excellence award to Chen Feng, he had been thinking of venting his sister¡¯s anger. It was quite probable that was the reason.

    "Although this Lan Jingling is quite an entric person with a bad temper, her contributions to gene production are truly genuine. All sorts of problems rted to forms and research have been sessfully solved by her. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have been able to be a candidate for the excellence award withoutpleting a single mission," Hou Liang said.

    Chen Feng seemed to understand now. "Hence... You are looking for me to tell me to let them win the award?"

    "No." Hou Liang shook his head. "We need to get your answer to solve this issue as soon as possible. If you don¡¯t want this excellence award, we will reform the system. In the future, the excellence award will be awarded based on contributions in regard to research, while unique contributions will not be taken into consideration. If you are interested in getting this excellence award... it will still be yours. The Gene Production Association will not treat our own people unfairly!" Hou Liang said righteously.

    They were aware of Chen Feng¡¯s contributions. Even if these contributions couldn¡¯t be announced to the public, they could not erase the honor belonging to Chen Feng!

    The reason he¡¯d called Chen Feng over was to obtain an answer.

    Chen Feng shut his eyes.

    Excellence award...

    Lan Jingling...

    Protest...

    Hehe.

    A toying smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    At that, Hou Liangughed. From that expression, he could guess Chen Feng¡¯s answer.

    "Cancel it first, then," Chen Feng said.

    "All right, then we will first think of a way to suppress¡ªwait, what did you say?" Hou Liang widened his eyes.

    Cancel? Had he heard wrongly?

    "Just cancel it for now." Chen Feng smiled. "Since the association has given me so many resources, I should give back sometimes, right?"

    Hou Liang: "..."

    "Cancel it," Chen Feng confirmed.

    Hou Liang stared at Chen Feng "Are you sure?" Chen Feng¡¯s earlier expression did not seem like the expression of someone scared! Moreover, Hou Liang had known Chen Feng for quite a while. This fellow was not the type that would be afraid of anything!

    "I¡¯m serious," Chen Feng said earnestly. "If only the contributions from research are taken into consideration, the public will be pacified as well."

    "Don¡¯t act recklessly!" Hou Liang was now feeling horrified. He had a feeling that Chen Feng was about to stir up some trouble. This guy was truly making him nervous even when he shrunk from a challenge...

    "Don¡¯t make trouble!" Hou Liang nagged him before leaving, not noticing the smile on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    Using research as the measure of contribution? Ahh...

 Chapter 257: Excellence Rankings

    Chapter 257: Excellence Rankings

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In Star City, an announcement shocked everyone there. The determiner for the recipient of the excellence award was formally changed. Moving forward, only contributions with regard to gene productions would be taken into consideration for this award.

    The moment this announcement was made, the whole of Star City went into an uproar.

    The rankings of countless people started changing, while the Chen Feng that was high above everyone else on the list finally disappeared from the first position, with Lan Jingling being the new upant of first ce.

    "It¡¯s Senior Lan indeed."

    "Haha, Chen Feng was pushed out of the rankings."

    "Our protests are useful indeed."

    "This is how things are supposed to be. Senior Lan contributed so much to the association. Every single point I earned from the missions was used to purchase her research papers."

    "I know, right?"

    Everyone started talking about this without stop.

    Moreover, the missions Chen Feng hadpleted were more in line with the Gic Union¡¯s style and he had even joined the Gic Union as well. This was sufficient for the other producers to disapprove of him. Since Chen Feng had joined the Gene Production Association¡¯s headquarters, he hadn¡¯t even contributed anything in regard to gene production. All his efforts had been in increasingbat power. How could such a person be the recipient of the excellence award? It was totally reasonable for Chen Feng to be pushed out of first ce.

    Naturally, some people who were rather bright were able to see the crux.

    "Wouldn¡¯t this be unfair to Chen Feng?"

    "Yeah, since his contribution points ranked first, he definitely made some outstanding contributions. Even if it¡¯s unrted to gene production, it would definitely be rted to the association. Wasn¡¯t that the case for the previous incident involving that Mysterious Organization? So saving the association is not considered a contribution anymore?"

    Some were feeling unsatisfied.

    There were three main methods in which contribution points could be obtained: activities that helped in regard to gene production, activities that helped the Gene Production Association, or activities that helped the world.

    Regardless of which contribution one made, one should be entitled to the honor belonging to one after the contribution. If the excellence award only took gene-production-rted contributions into consideration, it would be unfair.

    However, people with this opinion were the minority. The majority were in agreement that only contributions with regard to gene productions should be taken into consideration. After all, one¡¯s contribution toward the association or the world was something the rest couldn¡¯t feel or see. Only contributions with regard to gene production were something everyone could see clearly.

    This was the reality of things. People would only care about things that benefited them.

    As of now, the evaluation period for the recipient of the excellence award officially began.

    Lan Jingling¡¯s contribution points were currently reigning high above. However, the people in the subsequent ces were closely chasing after her as well. Everyone was announcing their research results to attract countless buyers.

    Thepetition was still intense; however, there were no longer protests.

    "Thepetition is so intense."

    "Yeah, but this should be how things are without Chen Feng messing around here."

    "True. Hey, that research paper I always wanted to read went on discount several days ago! The original price was 100 contribution points, but now it¡¯s only 38 contribution points!"

    "Same goes for the research paper I have been paying attention to."

    Everyone discussed in excitement.

    Currently, a huge screen was installed at the center of Star City. In the left column was the ranking of the contribution points, listing the top hundred producers. Lan Jingling was still at first ce. In the right column was the list of the most popr research papers, with a ranking of the top 100 in terms of poprity listed there. Among them, the most popr research paper had earned a terrifying figure of a hundred thousand contribution points from sales alone.

    ----

    First ce: How to Produce Your Own Gene Armament?

    Author: Lan Jingling

    Price: 30 contribution points

    Volume sold: 1,000,000 sets

    ----

    "It is indeed this research paper."

    "Senior Lan is indeed powerful."

    Everyonemented.

    Someone sneered. "The original price of 60 contribution points had been cut in half as a promotion. How is it possible for this paper to not sell in such circumstances?"

    Currently, regardless of which branch it was or which producer it was, as long as they saw the discounted price of this paper, it was very probable they would buy a set of it. A discount of 50% was indeed incredibly enticing.

    Apart from this, the research papers of a lot of seniors were discounted to different extents as well. This whole event was now akin to a celebration of all producers. Chen Feng¡¯s decision had benefited not only Lan Jingling but the whole poption of producers.

    "Who do you think will be the recipient of the excellence award?"

    "I suppose it¡¯s going to be Senior Lan."

    "I think Senior Li might get it..."

    "Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s quite probable for Senior Zhang to get it? Although his research papers haven¡¯t really sold well, the amount of different research papers he has alone are high enough to make up for the sales volumes of individual research papers."

    "True."

    Everyone discussed without stop.

    As of now, the Chen Feng that had been kicked out of the rankings was slowly forgotten. None of them noticed that Chen Feng had noiselessly arrived at the center of Star City and was staring at the ranking on the screen.

    "Contribution points?"

    Chen Feng smiled calmly.

    Things were truly getting interesting...

    He was truly not interested in the excellence award. However, for others to step on him for this, this was what he could not swallow.

    Selfish? Expelling him from the association? Chen Feng remembered clearly every single one of those banners that had "weed" him when he¡¯de back. He was clear that, to increase hisbat power, the Gic Union would be the more suitable ce.

    However, resources were required in his path to bing stronger. For the him that was without any background, his identity as a producer was his trump card for getting the required resources. The Gene Production Association was the organization with the richest collection of forms and production-rted items. As such, he would definitely not discard his identity as a member of the Gene Production Association¡¯s headquarters.

    He would not allow these people to provoke him!

    Hence, he would not step back from this incident! At times, a single step backward would result in benefits that had originally belonged to him slowly bidding him goodbye. Hence, from the start, Chen Feng had never intended to swallow this provocation!

    Therefore, this excellence award, he would definitely obtain it!

    Contribution points? Amount? What a joke!

    "You guys seems very excited?" A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "Soon, you guys will know the horror of letting this ranking be determined by research papers alone..."

    On that very afternoon, under countless gazes, Chen Feng walked into the research institute. Within the building, countless unresolved problems were stored. Countless problems would be solved here every day. However, countless new problems would be sent here every day as well. Some of these problems could be settled by spending some time on them, some of them needed unending tests and trials, and some of them would require pure luck!

    This was one of the basic methods of obtaining contribution points, by solving problems. It might have sounded glorious to sell one¡¯s research papers to obtain contribution points, but it was also probable that the research results one obtained after painstaking effort would simply not sell, regardless of how cheap they were! Hence, a lot of people would choose to solve problems to obtain contribution points.

    A lot of problems here had been issued by other producers with a price clearly tagged on each problem. One only needed to solve the problem to obtain the offered contribution points.

    For example:

    Question: Do reactive particles exist within the moluo me?

    Price: 10 contribution points.

    One only needed to solve this problem to obtain the corresponding contribution points. A lot of producers did not have any contribution points and did not want to do any missions. Hence, they would earn contribution points through such a method. However, this method was only suitable for lone individuals, as the points offered were stable yet low in amount.

    After all, this was simply iparable to selling research papers.

    "Chen Feng actually came here..."

    "I suppose he is triggered after getting himself kicked out of the rankings."

    "What¡¯s the point ofing here thiste?"

    The people there shook their heads.

    The evaluation for the excellence award recipient would be determined through yearly contribution points. The points since the beginning of the year were recorded. Before Chen Feng had even joined, the people here had already been preparing for it.

    Over half the year had already passed; what was the point of himing here now?

    "I guess he¡¯s only here to take a look?" some guessed.

    However, Chen Feng ignored all of them. His gaze was concentrated on the released problems.

    ----

    The ranking of problems whose solution was the most anticipated by the masses:

    1. How to increase the sess rate of windrock gene reagent?

    2. How to wlessly fuse water-, fire-, and lightning-attribute materials for gene fusion?

    3. How to ovee the major weakness of the bloodrain gene armament?

    ...

    ----

    This was an annual ranking of the problems with the most anticipated solutions after a vote by the masses.

 Chapter 258: Research Paperâ€™s Sale Begins!

    Chapter 258: Research Paper¡¯s Sale Begins!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Soon after, the research institute was filled with people. When these people heard that Chen Feng was about to solve problems here, a lot of people came over out of curiosity. They were all wondering how Chen Feng would counter attack.

    Unexpectedly, Chen Feng merely studied the problems silently for half an hour before turning around and leaving.

    "He left?"

    Everyone was stupefied. What was going on? Wasn¡¯t he here to solve the problems? Wasn¡¯t he here to earn contribution points?

    "He¡¯s scared?"

    Someone shook their head. "There¡¯s really nothing he can do, after all. It¡¯s toote for him to catch up with the points..."

    In fact, they were clear that, in regard, to pure research papers, Chen Feng was far toockingpared to those seniors. Even if he were to solve all the problems here, he would not be able to catch up to their points.

    "After all, he¡¯s only D ss..."

    Some sighed. After Chen Feng had been kicked out of the rankings for the excellence award, a lot of people had lost their grudge against Chen Feng. Rather, they were now sympathizing with him due to this.

    Next, Chen Feng had seemingly gone into a seclusion. After disappearing from public eye for two days, the people started forgetting about him.

    "Hahaha, Senior Lan Jingling released another research paper!"

    "Shit, for real?"

    "Naturally. It costs only 50 contribution points! Although it¡¯s somewhat expensive, it¡¯s absolutely worth the price among all first editions. Seems like Senior Lan will be getting the excellence award this time for sure."

    "I know, right."

    Everyone was getting excited.

    The whole Star City was discussing this.

    Currently, in a certain room, Chen Feng was silently progressing with his research.

    How to increase the sess rate of the windrock gene reagent?

    Experiments!

    Experiments!

    Currently, Chen Feng was personally improving this particr form. Under Luck Aura¡¯s help, Chen Feng managed to easily create the perfect form under his hyper-dimensional mode.

    Originally, this form was an imperfect form. For normal forms, one¡¯s initial sess rate with it would be 0%. Along with continuous practice, one¡¯s sess rate would increase until finally it reached 100%.

    As for this imperfect form, that was something unreachable.

    As the initial experiments done on this form had been iplete, this form could be considered a form still in trial. Thepletion rate of these forms was only sufficient to pass the audit. For example, this windrock gene reagent: its current maximum sess rate was only 30%.

    This was also the problem whose solution was most anticipated by the public. The reason for that was because this form would be able to increase one¡¯s spiritual energy. As such, it would be beneficial for everyone if the problem was solved. Therefore, the association had even made the form public. However, even after one whole year, they could only reach a sess rate of 30%. Now, Chen Feng had pushed the sess rate of the form up to 100%!

    Windrock form, perfected.

    This was merely the beginning. Among the top 100 problems whose solutions were most anticipated by the public, at least 70 of the problems were rted to their respective forms. With Luck Aura, Chen Feng managed to easily perfect all these forms.

    Apart from this, the other problems were practical issues.

    For example, a problem concerning three different attributes with repressive effects on each other. To solve this, a huge amount of calctions and experiments were required to obtain the perfectposition to ensure a bnced coexistence of all three attributes.

    As far as Luck Aura was concerned, this was too easy to solve.

    Soon, after two days of seclusion, Chen Feng managed to solve the top 100 problems. However, he had not chosen to answer the problems at the research institute. Instead, he was preparing to release these as research papers to be sold.

    That¡¯s right; the research paper Chen Feng was nning to release would be the answers for these 100 problems. He believed that, since these problems were listed in the rankings, a huge amount of people would be waiting for their answers. Since Chen Feng had solved all these problems, his research paper would definitely be popr.

    This was Chen Feng¡¯s actual goal¡ªto obtain contribution points using a somewhat different method.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Let¡¯s prepare to start. then."

    Three dayster, the news of Chen Feng releasing his own research paper shocked the whole Star City.

    "Research paper?"

    "Chen Feng? I thought he was only D ss?"

    "Don¡¯t forget that he had the master producer¡¯s certification. At the Gic Union, he passed the B-ss certification as well. His actual status is quite terrifying."

    "Will anyone actually buy his research paper, though?"

    "I heard his research paper contains the answers for the problems listed at the research institute..."

    "What?"

    Everyone was rmed.

    If it only contained some normal problems, it wouldn¡¯t have been too terrifying. However, if his research paper actually contained the answers for the problems in the top ranking...

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah, I¡¯m actually somewhat looking forward to it."

    "If that¡¯s true, he has truly contributed to producers this time."

    Everyone¡¯s emotions surged.

    "Can Chen Feng really solve the problems even those seniors can¡¯t solve?"

    Some people started doubting.

    "No idea."

    A lot of people could not believe this. This single news released by Chen Feng had caused an uproar. He did not even need to market himself, yet his uing research paper was already trending.

    Somewhere in Star City, Lan Jingling¡¯s expression changed greatly when she received this news. She was too clear on how attractive the answers for the top 100 problems would be. Every single one of these problems had several hundred thousands of people waiting for the answer. These were all extremely popr problems!

    If all these problems had been solved andpiled into a research paper...

    Lan Jingling¡¯s expression was unsightly. "Have you truly reached this level?"

    Suddenly, Lan Xing said, "Sister, why not pirate Chen Feng¡¯s research paper once he releases it..."

    Pa!

    Lan Jingling¡¯s pnded on Lan Xing¡¯s face, leaving a red handprint on his face.

    Lan Jingling stared at him ferociously. "Idiot!"

    "Sister." Lan Xing felt wronged. He was merely suggesting that.

    "This is Star City! The holynd of producers! Are you courting death talking about such a thing here?" Lan Jingling raged as she red at her idiot brother. "Research papers are the main contributor for the progress of the gene producer profession. Only by ensuring that the researchers receive what they deserve will they continue working hard. Do you think that Star City won¡¯t protect the rights of these people? Do you believe me if I tell you that the instant you create a pirated copy, the people from the association will discover you immediately? Moreover... if Chen Feng releases his research paper for sale, the buyers will all be the producers of the association. Only a single tap on their wristband¡¯s screen is required to purchase this research paper. This is a special channel only avable for members of the association. How are you supposed to sell your pirated copy? How do you avoid getting found out? How to surpass Chen Feng¡¯s sales? And if you are only selling a small volume of it, how would it have any substantial influence on Chen Feng?"

    Lan Jingling was shooting questions without stop.

    "Ah?" Lan Xing had a bewildered expression on his face. So it¡¯s actually so difficult to aplish?

    "Forget it." As she looked at her brother¡¯s expression, Lan Jingling sighed. How unjust were the heavens to give her brother an astonishing cultivation talent yet take away his wisdom...

    "I am very happy that you came to visit me." Lan Jingling patted her brother¡¯s shoulder. "However, don¡¯t get involved in this."

    "Hehe." Lan Xing scratched his head awkwardly. "Then this Chen Feng..."

    "Don¡¯t worry." Lang Jingling shook her head. "Chen Feng has merely released the news that he¡¯s going to solve these 100 problems. However, when will he get his results? When will he start selling them? All this is still unknown! Moreover, even if he were to actually seed in his research," Lan Jingling sneered before continuing, "only one month is left until the excellence award. How can our contributions umted thorough the year be surpassed by him in a single month?"

    She herself had released no less than 50 sets of research papers. Every single day, every one of her papers would earn contribution points for her. Her current contribution points had already reached an extremely terrifying amount.

    That was also the reason why the excellence award recipients were generally those prestigious senior producers. These senior producers had a huge umted amount of released research papers. The amount of contribution points they earned in a single year alone was already extremely astonishing.

    Even the producer at the 100th ce of the ranking would have several research papers under his belt, earning contribution points for him daily.

    As for Chen Feng? Even if he were to release his research paper, he would still have zero hope of surpassing them!

    Shortly after, the other producers of Star City realized this point as well.

    "Contribution points..."

    "The contribution points taken into consideration are the umtion of the whole year...even if this research paper of Chen Feng¡¯s were sold at 100 contribution points per set, he wouldn¡¯t be able to shake Lan Jingling¡¯s position, right?"

    "Yeah..."

    "I suppose even entering the top 100 would an extremely good result for him."

    Some sighed.

    A single research paper was simply insufficient to change anything. The only thing it could do was improve Chen Feng¡¯s reputation. However, a lot of people were still filled with anticipation due to the poprity of the top 100 problems.

    Three dayster, Chen Feng¡¯s first research paper was officially put on sale.

    In Star City, countless people waited for it. Chen Feng¡¯s paper was released.

    The Annual Trickiest Problems¡¯ Optimal Solution Guidebook: First Edition.

    It was quite an ordinary name.

    "It¡¯s real."

    "It appeared!"

    "Quick, check out the price."

    Filled with anticipation, everyone checked out the price. Surprising them, Chen Feng¡¯s method of selling was quite different. His research paper was split into different parts, selling the solution for each problem separately.

    "Yi... it seems quite cheap?"

    "Yeah, I originally expected the solution for such a difficult problem to be worth at least 100 contribution points."

    "Some of the points are quite repetitive; however, it¡¯s truly cheap."

    "The overall price of the whole thing will be expensive. However, if you only buy the answer for the problem you are interested in, it will be much cheaper."

    Everyone was amazed.

    "Chen Feng is so kind..."

    "I know, right."

    "Buy buy buy!"

    Everyone became excited.

    Everyone who saw the price worldwide would start buying in excitement.

    "Let me buy one of the answers to take a look... Yi, it¡¯s this problem. Mhm... if I follow this solution...Wow! It works!"

    Some who had purchased the answers started verifying its effectiveness.

    Sess!

    Chen Feng had truly solved these problems!

    Bang!

    Instantly, this caused an uproar. Such a cheap price for such high-value solutions created a huge uproar.

    However...

    "With this price, even if everyone here were to buy it, he would not be able to surpass Lan Jingling, right?"

    "Sigh, do you need us to spell it out to you? Chen Feng probably gave up on the excellence award and is now trying to build a favorable public image. Do you understand now?"

    "Oh..."

    Everyone was enlightened.

    As far as they were concerned, this was an extremely good method for Chen Feng to recover his reputation. Hou Liang was the only one filled with doubt over Chen Feng¡¯s selling method. Would this Chen Feng guy truly do something that did not benefit him? He started studying Chen Feng¡¯s "cheaply priced" research paper. After several minutes, he abruptly inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    "Chen Feng, you bastard!!!" Hou Liang howled.

    Cheap? Cheap my ass!

    Hidden behind this seemingly cheap price was a huge pit waiting for people to jump inside.

 Chapter 259: The Historic Pit!

    Chapter 259: The Historic Pit!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Research paper: The Annual Trickiest Problems¡¯ Optimal Solution Guidebook: First Edition .

    Original price: 588 contribution points

    Method of sale: Per problem.

    As a huge amount of calction forms and data were required for each of the problems, Chen Feng had ultimately decided that the solution for each problem would be sold separately.

    Each problem would be rated based on difficulty.

    Among these, the lowest difficulty was rated R, with a total of 60 problems at this difficulty. The somewhat harder difficulty was rated SR, with a total of 30 problems at this difficulty. The hardest difficulty was rated SSR, with a total of 10 problems at this difficulty.

    Method of sale for the solutions was quite simple. One point of contribution point to purchase a single "loot box." From this loot box, one could obtain the solution for a single random problem. It was possible for one to obtain the solution of an R-tier, SR-tier, or even SSR-tier problem!

    Hence, was this price cheap? Of course it was cheap!

    See, the original price was 588 contribution points!

    Every single one of these problems was extremely difficult. Chen Feng had definitely exhausted a huge amount of resources to solve them. Even if it was sold for 588 contribution points, it would be worth it! Moreover, these 588 contribution points was merely the original price. Presently, only one contribution point was required, and one could obtain a single solution! Wasn¡¯t that totally worth it?

    A lot of people prepared up to 100 contribution points just to try their luck at this loot box.

    Someone tried buying one of the loot boxes. "Let me try."

    Shua!

    "Congrattions, you have obtained the solution for a SR-ss problem. The description as follows..."

    "Hahaha, I got a high-difficulty solution with a single try."

    That person was extremely excited.

    As a result, the curiosity of others was piqued, and they started purchasing as well.

    Everyone started discussing this without stop.

    From their first purchase onward, the buyers¡¯ emotions were already stirred. Only a single contribution point was required for them to obtain such a rare solution to a difficult problem.

    It simply gave one an unending feeling of happiness. One had to know that the lowest price for a single solution listed in the research institute would be around 10 contribution points. Even the most idiotic of problems would be sold at such a price.

    One loot box!

    Two loot boxes!

    Three loot boxes!

    ...

    Some purchased ten loot boxes in a row, feeling extremely refreshed in the process. Moreover, some of them even started berating Lan Jingling.

    "Sigh, the previous solution of Senior Lan¡¯s was sold at 30 contribution points! True, it solved the problem, but..."

    When there was nothing for the masses topare with, nothing seemed wrong. But now, after Chen Feng¡¯s one contribution point per solution appeared, Lan Jingling appeared extremely dishonest to the masses!

    "Perhaps this is Chen Feng¡¯s strategy?"

    "Although he won¡¯t be able to get the excellence award, he will obtain the public support?"

    "Mhm..."

    "Look at the cheap price he¡¯s selling at? How can he hope topete with Lan Jingling? Forget it, I will buy a few more of his loot boxes as a show of support to Chen Feng. It¡¯s quite cheap anyway."

    "I¡¯m going to buy more as well. The problem I need a solution for seems to be SSR-tier anyway."

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Countless people started spending their contribution points.

    At Star City, at the Gene Production Association¡¯s branches worldwide, all the producers were buying loot boxes crazily. Evidently, they had yet to discover the problem with this method of sale...

    Currently, at Star City, an excited Ha Li was staring at Chen Feng.

    "Chen Feng?"

    "Haha, Lady Ha Li." Chen Feng stared helplessly at that swaying pair of huge peaks on her chest. He wondered if this youngdy ever felt any pressure when she ran.

    "I bought your loot box." Ha Li was excited. "Hehe, a lot of people are praising you, saying you are a kind and adorable person. Although you failed to obtain the excellence award, you have obtained everyone¡¯s recognition!"

    "Yi? You are going somewhere?" Ha Li asked as she noticed that Chen Feng was leaving.

    Chen Feng coughed. "Mhm, I¡¯m afraid that I will be beaten up... oh, no, no, I have some matters to attend to."

    "Oh oh, then I won¡¯t waste any of your time. Work hard!" Ha Li encouraged Chen Feng.

    "Mhm." Chen Feng fled hastily.

    However, just as he reached the entrance, he saw another person: Lan Xing!

    "It¡¯s this guy!" Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped. However, he recalled that this was Star City the next moment. At that, all the fear in his heart vanished. He frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

    Surprising him, Lan Xing took the initiative to walk over and express goodwill to him.

    Lan Xing scratched his head in an honest manner. "Erm... previously, I wronged you."

    Chen Feng was surprised. "Oh?"

    "Everyone is saying that you are a kind person." Lan Xing continued after thinking for a bit, "I believe that I had truly misunderstood you previously. My sister told me that the excellence award is extremely important, as the recipient would also receive some substantial power along with the award. The recipient will be able to join the management of the Gene Production Association. As such, you would definitely not give up on this award. However, I think that my sister was wrong about you!" Lan Xing righteously said, "After your research paper was released, I overheard a lot of people praising you, saying how my sister was too selfish for selling her papers at such high prices. I think my sister might have been enticed by the temptation of riches..."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    "I hope you can give my sister some advice," Lan Xing said solemnly. "The excellence award is not truly important. What¡¯s important is being a kind person."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He stared at Lan Xing like he was looking at an idiot.

    After a long time, he patted Lan Xing¡¯s shoulder as he sighed, "Brother, I truly misunderstood you previously."

    Did such a kind person still exist in this world? No! How could he think that this Lan Xing guy was an idiot? This guy was simply a person with a justice-filled heart, an emissary of justice that could not bear the existence of anything immoral!

    Chen Feng looked at the two p marks on his face. "You quarreled with your sister?"

    "Mhm." Lan Xing sighed. "She said that I¡¯m helping an outsider instead of her."

    "...All right, I have something to do, so I have to leave for now. I will definitely advise your sister when I return," Chen Feng promised solemnly.

    "All right." Lan Xing nodded. "I believe you."

    "Work hard." Chen Feng patted his shoulder. "Your sister is only fighting for the excellence award for your family¡¯s future anyway, despite her somewhat extreme methods..."

    "The word extreme is not even sufficient to describe her methods." Lan Xing was agitated. "I have always failed to understand what the big deal about the research papers of your Gene Production Association is. Only after today did I witness with my own eyes how you only sell yours for one contribution point while my sister is selling hers at 30 contribution points! No wonder so many people are calling my sister a scammer! If father and mother were still alive, they would definitely reprimand her for this!"

    "That¡¯s why she needs you at her side." Chen Feng gave a gratified expression and continued, "Your sister might be powerful, but she still needs you to guide her morality!"

    "I know," Lan Xing said solemnly.

    Soon, they bid each other farewell. Chen Feng left the city while Lan Xing returned home with his newfound mission.

    One hourter.

    ng!

    The door of Chen Feng¡¯s house was kicked open.

    The furious Hou Liang stared at the empty room. That Chen Feng kid had actually fled!

    "That bastard!"

    Hou Liang was raging. The people that praised Chen Feng today might be high in amount. However, this was merely the first day where repeated drops from the loot boxes were still quite low in amount.

    Hou Liang had seen himself the data for this method of sale Chen Feng had devised.

    The probability rate for one to obtain the solution for an SSR-ss problem was only 1%! Moreover, there were a total of 10 SSR-tier problems! If one wanted the solution for a specific SSR-tier problem... with that probability, one might need at least 1,000 contribution points to obtain it. Based on the buyer¡¯s luck, the amount of contribution points required could very well be much higher or lower as well. If one wanted to collect the solutions for all the SSR-ss problems... the mere thought of that caused Hou Liang to shiver.

    He was sure that if Chen Feng had not escaped, he would most probably end up beaten to death by the angry masses right here. As of now, along with the sales of the loot boxes, the producers that had been praising Chen Feng all this while were finally feeling that something was wrong. Why were their contribution points dropping so fast?

    On the second day, the sales of Chen Feng¡¯s loot boxes entered a new height. By word of mouth, they became even more popr as more and more people find out about the existence of this cheap yet unique research paper.

    Buy, buy, buy!

    After being used to all sorts of expensive prices all this time, they were sure that these loot boxes of Chen Feng¡¯s sold at one point per box were in fact extremely cheap! A lot of them did not need the solution for too many of the problems, so by purchasing these loot boxes, they would be able to purchase the solution they wanted for an extremely cheap price! If they were lucky, only a slight amount of points would be required!

    Besides that, a single point was sufficient for them to obtain the solution for one of the top 100 problems. The solution for these problems would normally be worth at least 30 points per solution! Now, if one was lucky enough, one would be able to get the solutions for the problems with the highest difficulty in one go, how profitable! Based on their experience, the solutions for these highest-difficulty problems would normally be worth 100 points per solution!

    Here, Chen Feng was selling them like some random cabbages!

    Buy, buy, buy, buy!

    Everyone was going crazy. At all the branches, producers were going on shopping sprees.

    Further agitating everyone was the news released this morning: Chen Feng¡¯s loot box would stop selling in one month¡¯s time.

    That was also the time in which thepetition for this year¡¯s excellence award would end.

    Shua!

    This caused an uproar.

    "Damn, there¡¯s a time limit?"

    "I knew Chen Feng was only selling it this cheap to get the excellence award..."

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, quick, buy quick."

    "I don¡¯t care if the solution I get is something I needed or not, just buy it first before deciding what to do with it."

    Everyone was going crazy.

    Even those who would normally not buy any research papers started buying a bunch of Chen Feng¡¯s loot boxes when they heard this.

    This was simply the sale of the century. If they were to miss this, the same thing might never appear again. Buying the loot boxes became the onlymon topic of all producers.

    In the learning forum... at all branches... almost all producers were talking about this.

    Someone posted a thread. "Hahaha, I managed to get an SSR-tier drop with a single contribution point!"

    "Wow, I envy your luck."

    "Is this for real?"

    "666666666."

    Countless people replied.

    Simr threads appeared without stop. There was nothing one could do about this, as the amount of people who had bought the loot boxes was simply too high. Due to the huge amount, there would be a small amount of lucky ones that managed to get a high-difficulty solution from the loot boxes, which would tempt the other producers to continue buying without stop. As for the unlucky ones, they were too busy buying new loot boxes instead of posting threads documenting their bad luck.

    Chen Feng¡¯s public image and poprity were increasing without stop. This caused an uproar so huge that even non-producers heard of it. Once again, Chen Feng became the trending topic.

    Currently, Chen Feng had secretly returned to his rented room at Gold City. He was silently reading all the posted threads as hemented inwardly: What a bunch a naive kids...

    In his memories, back then, when free to pay games with microtransactions had first been released, this was how he¡¯d behaved as well. It was a free game! The spring of the gaming era had arrived...

    Next... he finally got a clear understanding on what "free" meant, what "cheap" meant, and what "RNG" meant!

    In this world where strength reigned supreme, economic studies were not popr. As such, the economic structure here was quiteckingpared to Chen Feng¡¯s previous world, to the point where items such as loot boxes had never appeared here before.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The figures running in the background changed without stop. Only the seller, Chen Feng, knew how terrifying this figure had reached. Based on the records, currently, the highest amount a single buyer had spent on the loot boxes was no less than 20,000 contribution points!

    The amount of contribution points this guy had spent was still increasing. In other words, this sad brother here had failed to get the solution he¡¯d wanted from the loot boxes?

    Chen Feng tried checking his records. Mhm... This guy had a full collection of all R-tier and SR-tier drops. As for SSR-tier drops, he stillcked one toplete his collection.

    He had gotten 200 sets of SSR-tier drops from the loot boxes. However, among them, he kept getting repeat drops from the loot boxes, with the highest repeat solution at 50 times while the lowest at 10 times. As for the particr drop he required, he had yet to obtain it from the loot boxes.

    "How pitiful..."

    Chen Feng mourned for him.

    This brother here was truly extremely unlucky!

    Apart from this brother here, there was also a huge amount of unlucky gamblers who had also spent several thousand or several tens of thousands contribution points. Nearly all of those who had spent this much were all trying to get some particr SSR-tier drop.

    Chen Feng exhaled in relief. "Fortunately, I left Star City in time."

    "Hu¡ª"

    From the amount of contribution points those people could afford to spend, it was obvious that these were all super-powerful seniors. If his location was discovered by them...

    Mhm...

    He might not be able to avoid getting beaten up. However, as Chen Feng studied the records, in two short days, the contribution points he had earned had surpassed 80% of the producers based at the research institute. Moreover, his contribution points were increasing without stop at an extremely fast speed, with the speed increasing as well!

    This method of sale was truly quite scam-like. However, it was also undeniably an undefeated method. Naturally, the premise of this seeding was to first ensure that his poprity and prestige were sufficient. Otherwise, he would most probably end up getting himself chopped into pieces by some angry gamblers...

    He recalled that in his previous life, there had been one particr author called "Minus Ny Degrees."

    Although this guy was tall, handsome, and wrote some good stories, due to pirates, his ie had been too low. There had been several times where he¡¯d almost stopped writing because of that. Next, this author had requested Chen Feng¡¯s advice. Chen Feng had given this guy a good method of making money: RNG-style novels!

    That¡¯s right, RNG-style novels. Only a single subscription point was required to read each chapter. However, for each chapter:

    Fifty percent probability of it being a filler chapter.

    Forty percent probability of it being a chapter where the main plot progressed.

    Ten percent probability of it being a chapter where the story reached a climax.

    One percent of probability of it being the conclusion of that particr arc.

    What a perfect system!

    It was rumored that, subsequently, in the first month after he¡¯d implemented that system, his remuneration had reached six figures, creating a miracle. However, he had subsequently disappeared. ording to the rumors, he was still being hunted by his readers or something...

    As Chen Feng thought of that, he sighed endlessly.

    To forge iron, one¡¯s own body had to be strong as well. This was a sales method not everyone would dare to implement.

    "Two more days at most."

    A toying smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    Soon, these people would all experience for themselves the horror of RNG!

    As of now, they were all still happily gambling on the loot boxes. For the casual gamblers who only spent 10 to 20 contribution points on the loot boxes, they would obtain a huge amount of R-tier and SR-tier drops with a low amount of repeat drops. As such, these people would start talking about their sess online, attracting the envy of countless people. If one was lucky enough to obtain an SSR-tier drop, one would be able to create an uproar online.

    Was that worth the contribution points? For these people, of course it was!

    However, when the producers that truly needed these solutions to solve their problems saw this, their hearts would start aching as they noticed how low the probability was for them to get the solution they wanted out of the 100 solutions a loot box might contain.

    This was especially true when there was simply no limit ced on repeat solutions one might obtain.

    This was too scam-like, right?

    If the solution they wanted was some R-tier drop, it was somewhat easier, since the amount of R-tier drops were higher. Hence, the probability for it to appear would be higher. If the solution they wanted was some SR-tier drop, it would be somewhat harder. If it was some SSR-tier drop... they might as well kneel down and start praying for good luck.

    "Something seems wrong with this, right?"

    Some started realizing the issue. Fortunately, these people were still ming their luck for this instead of questioning Chen Feng¡¯s method of sale.

    Suddenly, a thread called "Bastard Chen Feng! Refund me my contribution points!" appeared at the learning forum. This caused a huge uproar.

    The content of the thread:

    "Bastard Chen Feng, refund me my contribution points! All those SSR-tier threads posted on the forum must be fake, right? Do SSR-tier solutions even exist in the loot boxes? I doubt it! For a single SSR-tier solution, I wasted 10,000 contribution points, yet I have not even gotten a single SSR-tier solution! Not a single one! The f*ck are you f*ckers showing off at the forum for? My 10,000 contribution points! F*ck this loot box! Chen Feng, refund my contribution points!"

    Bang!

    This caused a huge uproar on the whole forum. The only reason for this was because the thread had been posted by a master producer.

    If this thread was considered as the fuse, then the first reply to this thread would be the trigger for the fuse, for the uing storm.

    "This is... a master producer?"

    "Dang, a master producer was forced to such an extent?"

    Everyone was stunned.

    Even if the content of the post appeared like some sort of joke, one could see the severity of this incident when even master producers started ming online.

    SSR-tier... was it so hard for it to appear?

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The appearance of this thread was like the ignition of the mes of war.

    "Ah ah ah, I initially believed that this was only happening to me. I am an advanced producer that wasted over 500 contribution points without getting any SSR-tier drops..."

    "I¡¯m a master producer. After wasting 1,000 contribution points, I managed to obtain 12 SSR-tier drops. However, all of them were repeat drops! F*ck this shit!"

    "I¡¯m a master producer, not a single SSR-tier drop obtained after spending 8,000 contribution points."

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Threads started mushrooming.

    In a short ten minutes, there were already thousands of replies for each of these newly created threads. Instantly, this whole incident became the top trending topic online.

    "The f*ck, is this for real?"

    "This is actually happening?"

    Everyone was stunned. They had never expected this method of selling with a seemingly cheap price tag would contain such a huge pit! With such a huge amount of repeat drops from the loot boxes, this was simply a scam-like design.

    Bang!

    Everyone was stirred.

    "We need an exnation!"

    "Yeah!"

    "Chen Feng,e out!"

    "Refund my contribution points! I got over 80 drops that I do not require. What¡¯s the point of having all those? The only thing I need is one of the SSR-tier drops!"

    Countless producers started protesting. There were some who were requesting the Gene Production Association release the records for this loot box sale.

    However, since Chen Feng had a unique identity as a certified master producer of the Gene Production Association and a certified B-ss gic warrior of the gic Union, an ordinary person could simply do nothing to him. Even Hou Liang couldn¡¯t touch him! This was the benefit brought to him by fame!

    "Chen Feng..." Lan Jingling sneered. She had initially believed that Chen Feng was a formidable opponent and had devised such a method to obtain public praise to pressure her into resignation after realizing that he couldn¡¯t obtain the excellence award with normal methods. Unexpectedly, he had actually used this method to scam the contribution points of others. He was simply courting his own death!

    She had already deduced the drop rate for each of the different tier solutions in Chen Feng¡¯s loot boxes. For an SSR-tier drop, the drop rate was only 1%! Chen Feng was simply courting death.

    Lan Jingling was pleased. "Since you are looking for death..."

    Shua!

    She opened hermunication tool and contacted her friend. "Are you still livestreaming? Good, prepare the contents. This time, I will destroy both Chen Feng¡¯s fame and reputation!"

    "All right," her friend replied.

    A smile appeared on Lan Jingling¡¯s face.

    Chen Feng... ahh. How long has it been since Ist saw someone courting his own death in such a manner?

    That friend of hers was an extremely popr virtual livestreamer at a popr streaming tform known as Doulu. His poprity was not weaker than those celebrity warriors. This time, with him livestreaming about Chen Feng, the scam-like methods employed by Chen Feng would definitely be exposed. What followed next would be the end of Chen Feng.

    Lan Xing couldn¡¯t believe this. "Sister, how can you do this?"

    "What do you know?" Lan Jingling was toozy to even exin this to her idiot brother. She believed that, when the time came, when Chen Feng was exposed, this stupid brother of hers would be able to see the truth.

    Unknown to her, though, just one minute after she left, her brother, with a solemn and sorrowful expression, contacted a certain someone.

    "Chen Feng," Lan Xing sorrowfully said as he stared at the person on his screen, "what you said was correct. My sister has indeed started looking for people to frame you. Everything is the same as your prediction..." He had never expected that his sister was such a person.

    "In her pursuit for greatness, it is inevitable for her to stray from the path of the righteous," Chen Fengmented. "However, I trust that you will definitely guide her back to the proper path!"

    "I will," Lan Xing said righteously. "Earlier, the contents of her conversation were..."

    After a long time, the satisfied Chen Feng ended the call.

    Mhm, Lan Xing is indeed the emissary of justice! Livestream...

    Chen Feng contemted. Thest time he¡¯d encounter a streamer was that corpse he had seen at the Deste Rocky Grounds.

    Shua!

    He turned his virtual equipment on and entered the Doulu streaming tform.

    Hum¡ª

    The world around him changed. In the newly simted room, a person was standing at the middle of the room.

    A huge topic was floating in midair: "The Truth of Chen Feng¡¯s So-Called Loot Boxes. Exposing the True Drop Rates!"

    Summary:

    Ten thousand contribution points will be used to purchase the loot boxes for this stream. Public, fair, and transparent! To show everyone the drop rate of these SSR-tier, SR-tier, and R-tier drops!

    Shua!

    With the appearance of the topic and summary, the amount of viewers increased without stop.

    One million viewers!

    Two million viewers!

    Three million viewers!

    ...

    Soon, the amount of viewers exceeded 10 million. It was still increasing without stop as well. This was the scary influence of virtual livestreams. Due to how lifelike the streams were, they were extremely popr among the masses. Ultimately, the number of viewers stabilized at around 20 million.

    Now, the experiment began.

    "I¡¯m a beginner producer, reporting in."

    "I¡¯m an advanced producer, reporting in."

    "I¡¯m a master producer, reporting in."

    ...

    The chat was spammed without stop.

    The streamer, Wu Geng, was feeling extremely pleased as he saw the number of viewers in his room. He had only agreed to stream this due to Lan Jingling¡¯s request. However, it couldn¡¯t be denied that by streaming this, it would benefit both him and Lan Jingling.

    At the very least, millions of producers had been attracted to his stream today.

    "Hello everyone. I am master producer Wu Geng. As some of you may know, I am an educational streamer. The normal contents of my streams are guides on how to produce basic gene reagents. However, I¡¯m exploring a different topic today. I will be touching on the hottest topic of the past two days: the Chen Feng incident."

    "I believe everyone here is clear on what happened. Hence, I will not waste time talking about it. Today I will be using 10,000 contribution points to show the truth to all of you. With 10,000 contribution points, even in the event that this is insufficient to get a proper drop rate for the loot boxes, it will still be sufficient for a somewhat urate estimate. Now let us start unveiling the truth."

    Shua!

    He started purchasing Chen Feng¡¯s loot boxes. With 10,000 contribution points, 10,000 loot boxes were purchased.

    "Hua¡ª"

    This stirred all the viewers. No one had expected that this brother here would truly purchase all those loot boxes! That was 10,000 contribution points he had just spent, an amount a lot of people would not make in their whole life. This guy was crazy!

    "How brave."

    "Seems like he is truly serious about getting the drop rates."

    "6666666."

    "How generous!"

    "I¡¯m a passerby, stopping in this room now..."

    Once again, the number of viewers in Wu Geng¡¯s live stream room increased greatly.

    A smile appeared on Wu Geng¡¯s face. The profits he would make from the current amount of viewers he had were definitely worth the 10,000 contribution points he¡¯d just used.

    Hehe... I¡¯m sorry, Chen Feng.

    "Then let us begin." Wu Geng was brimming with confidence. In truth, he had already done his research secretly and already had a general guess on the drop rates of Chen Feng¡¯s loot boxes. This time, he would be exposing it to everyone else.

    Shua!

    He started opening the loot boxes.

    At that, the whole room sunk into silence as everyone watched on silently.

    "It¡¯s starting?"

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    Kid, do you think that you won¡¯t be getting that particr drop from the loot boxes just because you don¡¯t want it? A thing like luck is not as simple as you believe...

    The first loot box was opened by Wu Geng.

    Hua¡ª

    Next, the whole room gasped in rm. That was because the first drop Wu Geng got from his loot box was an SSR-tier drop!

    ???

    Everyone was dumbstruck.

    Even Wu Geng was somewhat stunned. SSR? Wait, for this rarity, shouldn¡¯t the drop rate be a mere 1%? How can this...

    "Haha."

    Wu Gengughed awkwardly, "Seems like my luck is not bad."

    A session of "6666666666666666666666" appeared in the chat. Evidently, they all agreed that Wu Geng¡¯s luck was quite good. Unknown to them, Wu Geng wasn¡¯t feeling particrly good at the moment.

    This seems to be somewhat different than my predictions?

    "Again!"

    Once again, Wu Geng opened a different loot box.

    Shua!

    SR-tier.

    "Phew."

    Wu Geng exhaled in relief.

    Next, he obtained a session of R-tier and SR-tier drops. The probability of SR-tier appearing was somewhat higher, but this kind of drop was at least understandable for him. However, right as he was feeling somewhat relieved...

    Shua!

    Another SSR-tier drop appeared.

    Bang!

    Once again, the whole room was stirred.

    ??

    Wu Geng was stupefied. The f*ck, why did it appear again?

    They started talking without stop.

    "Woah."

    "6666666666666666."

    "This streamer¡¯s luck is seriously good!"

    Different from them, the current Wu Geng was feeling like crying.

    What the heck is going on? I have only opened 12 loot boxes and I already obtained two SSR-tiers, six SR-tiers, and four R-tiers! Regardless of how I look at it, from this set of data, Chen Feng¡¯s loot box doesn¡¯t seem too scam-like? No! It must be because I haven¡¯t opened enough of the loot boxes!

    Wu Geng inhaled deeply.

    I have 10,000 of them to be opened! What am I afraid of!

    "Haha, let us continue."

    Heroically, Wu Geng waved his hand before continuing. A thousand loot boxes were opened in a row.

    This time, his face greened from the shock. Moreover, the color became darker, and toward the end, a dark purple tint could be seen on his face...

    Out of 1,000 loot boxes, 100 of them were SSR-tier drops, 500 were SR-tier drops, and 400 were R-tier drops.

    Regardless of how one looked at it, this drop rate...

    Chapter 262: Fighting for First ce

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "666666666."

    "The luck of this streamer is this good?"

    "I don¡¯t think this is a matter of luck. Did he not say before that with enough attempts, the true drop rate would be revealed? Perhaps this is the true drop rate for those crates?"

    "That¡¯s very probable!"

    Everyone started discussing spiritedly.

    No! This can¡¯t be!

    Wu Geng couldn¡¯t believe this.

    Begin!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    He continued and opened all the remaining loot boxes he had. However, what caused him to copse emotionally was the fact that even after opening all the loot boxes the drop rate remained the same.

    The final drop rate was confirmed:

    SSR ¨C 10% drop rate

    SR ¨C 50% drop rate

    R ¨C 40% drop rate

    A rate that showcased Chen Feng¡¯s sincerity in helping the public, regardless of how one looked at it.

    "How could things be this way..."

    Wu Geng copsed emotionally.

    Currently, the expression of Lan Jingling who was viewing the livestream turned unsightly. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that her rtionship with Wu Geng was quite good, she would even have suspected that Wu Geng was ying tricks on her. She herself had tested the drop rates before. No matter what, the current revealed drop rate by Wu Geng was not the true drop rate!

    Ten percent drop rate for SSR? Who are you kidding?

    All the data couldn¡¯t match her previous tests!

    However... how could one question him now?

    Wu Geng had bought and opened all the loot boxes in front of so many people here. A whole 10,000 contribution points had been used, so there was no probability of fraud. Moreover, the seller was the Gene Production Association. This signified that the drop rate was something fixed, something that even Chen Feng, the seller, would not be able to alter.

    If so, how could this have happened? No one knew the answer. Lan Jingling¡¯s expression was scarily unsightly.

    Beside her, Lan Xing appeared immensely proud as he witnessed the released drop rate. Sister, look at this 10%. How high the drop rate is! Moreover, this streamer is someone sister herself found!

    "Chen Feng is indeed correct..." Lan Xing muttered.

    Chen Feng had previously told him that Lan Jingling would be looking for some online army to frame him. Originally, he had refused to believe Chen Feng, but now he had no choice but to believe in Chen Feng¡¯s words. This world was indeed not as simple as it seemed!

    Currently, a huge uproar was unfolding in Wu Geng¡¯s room as well.

    Ten percent drop rate of SSR?

    No matter what, this was a rate one couldn¡¯t berate, right? If others couldn¡¯t get their wanted drops, it simply meant that they were extremely unlucky!

    Some started protesting.

    "Fraud!"

    "There must be fraud!"

    "This set of data is not right!"

    "Did Chen Feng secretly alter the rates?"

    Due to the huge public outage, the Gene Production Association replied promptly to these protests: The backend data and algorithm were all controlled by the Gene Production Association. After Chen Feng had started his sale, he no longer had any control over it. If he wanted to change it, he had to submit an application and be audited before it could be approved.

    In other words, the rate had never changed.

    Wu Geng was stupefied. "How could things be this way..."

    Why was this set of data somewhat different from what Lan Jingling had said? He was even starting to doubt the authenticity of the data Lan Jingling had given him.

    Shua!

    He ended his stream and once again bought 10,000 contribution points worth of loot boxes.

    This time, after opening all the loot boxes, he obtained less than a hundred SSR drops! Moreover, one of the SSR drops never appeared, while the others were repeat drops. In other words, with this 10,000 contribution points, he had actually failed to even getplete solutions for all 100 problems this time.

    What a scam!

    "So it¡¯s indeed a matter of luck," Wu Geng realized.

    So he had been too lucky the previous time?

    Let¡¯s try again!

    Shua!

    He reopened his stream and once again bought new loot boxes and started opening them. However, he copsed emotionally once again, as this time, the rate was almost the same as the previous rate during his previous stream. The drop rate for SSR was still 10%!

    Wu Geng was stupefied, wondering how this had happened.

    Once again, he shut his livestream.

    And once again, he bought 10,000 contribution points worth of loot boxes. This time, he only obtained 103 SSR drops.

    ??

    Wu Geng was bewildered. What the heck was happening?

    Since he could not understand what was happening, he could only end his stream early. He nned to look for Lan Jingling to understand what was going on. However, due to the demonstration by a huge streamer like him, a lot of people once again started buying the loot boxes. Once again, Chen Feng¡¯s contribution points increased rapidly.

    "Done."

    Noiselessly, Chen Feng deactivated his Luck Aura.

    Talking about probability with him? What a joke! He would y that person to death, whoever that was!

    As a man Luck Aura shines upon, even if you don¡¯t want the rare drops, you will still get them!

    "It¡¯s here."

    Chen Fengughed as he saw the ranking on the screen.

    In five days, he had entered the top 100 rankings.

    This selling method devised by Chen Feng had proved extremely efficient. Wu Geng was simply the most popr streamer that had tried opening the loot boxes live. There were a huge amount of other streamers trying this as well. However, for those people, Chen Feng couldn¡¯t be bothered to mess with their drop rates. Regardless of how bad their rates were, the masses would still use Wu Geng as theparison.

    As of now, there were 25 more days until the evaluation of the final excellence award recipient.

    "This is only the beginning..."

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    He was simply too clear on the horror of RNG, especially when used on such phenomenal research papers.

    Finally, a lot of people started realizing that something wasn¡¯t right as well.

    "Look at Chen Feng¡¯s contribution points..."

    "Damn, he is now in the top 100?"

    "????"

    "How is this possible? Weren¡¯t his contribution points still zero a few days ago? Only five days have passed, yet he has surpassed so many old senior researchers?"

    "Among the people he surpassed is also this year¡¯s rookie bestseller!"

    Everyone was rmed.

    They had never expected that Chen Feng would be able to use only five days to easily enter the top 100. At this moment, the horror of RNG was clearly demonstrated.

    "Could Chen Feng be aiming for first ce?"

    "That¡¯s impossible!"

    "Lan Jingling¡¯s contribution points are in fact an umtion over the years, which she had erupted with during this year. So many new research papers were released this year. Her current year¡¯s contribution points are way higher than Chen Feng¡¯s. If Chen Feng is thinking of surpassing her, he will require at least one full year to have the least of hopes!" someone said in disdain.

    "True that."

    The rest looked at the rankings; their gap was indeed too huge.

    However, by the end of the first week, Chen Feng had magnificently grabbed the bestseller position.

    As a reward for being the bestseller, Chen Feng¡¯s loot box was ced on the homepage of the research institute for one whole day. As a result, due to the exposure, countless people started buying his loot boxes again. With that, countless people fell into this pitid by Chen Feng!

    Chen Feng¡¯s contribution points started rising like a torrent!

    Rush!

    Rush!

    At any given moment, there would be someone buying his loot boxes.

    Despite being scolded and rejected by countless people, his contribution points were still increasing without stop. After all, this was not a game.

    Imagine this situation: A person had encountered a serious problem in the course of his gene production and been stuck there for many years as a result. Suddenly, the answer for the problem that had stumped him for years appeared and was being sold at only one contribution point. Would one buy it? Would one try buying the loot box? In fact, these people were the actual major customers of Chen Feng.

    For the research groups that were stuck due to some SSR-tier problems, they would not be able to even pirate the solution. This was because, when their research paper was submitted, they would have to list the sources. These research groups made up the majority of those who had spent tens of thousands of contribution points on the loot boxes.

    Although Chen Feng¡¯s current ranking wasn¡¯t particrly high, his growth was definitely the most terrifying one. He was surpassing everyone with an inconceivable speed.

    Eightieth ce!

    Seventieth ce!

    Sixtieth ce!

    ...

    Rush!

    Rush!

    Rush!

    Chen Feng¡¯s violent momentum shocked countless people.

    Despite the fact that a lot of people had already started rejecting Chen Feng, despite the fact that a lot of people were starting to realize that this was a huge pitid by Chen Feng, there were still countless neers leaping into the pit at all times.

    By the end of the second week, Chen Feng was still maintaining the bestseller position for the week.

    With the nonstop discussion by the public and the guarantee by the Gene Production Association that there had been no altering of rates, regardless of whether these discussions were scolding or praising him, this loot box of Chen Feng¡¯s had be a truly phenomenal item!

    And now, Chen Feng had entered the top 10 in the rankings!

    Incredibly violent momentum!

    Even Lan Jingling couldn¡¯t maintain her calm anymore.

    As Chen Feng¡¯s contribution points started nearing her points, she was starting to be nervous. Even if Chen Feng¡¯s current contribution points were still extremely far from hers... he had only spent 14 days for this! There were 16 more days for him! Who would know what could happen in the remaining 16 days?

    "This can¡¯t go on."

    Lan Jingling clenched her teeth while craziness flickered in her eyes.

    She had been waiting for this excellence award for way too long. She would not permit this neer Chen Feng to snatch it away from her!

    "The excellence award... will be mine!" After hesitating for a bit, she opened hermunication tool. "I need to discuss something with you."

    The next day, when everyone was still asleep, an unexpected piece news was released, causing an uproar among everyone!

    Lan Jingling had released a new research paper!

    ----

    Theorem of Gene Producer¡¯s Self-Defense Methods

    Summary: This paper will talk about all sorts of self defense methods for producers. Also included is the guidebook for 36 sets of gene armaments and methods of obtaining them. Please remember, only by staying alive can one remain a producer.

    Price: 100 contribution points

    ----

    This was an extremely expensivebat paper! However... how had Lan Jingling produced this paper?

    One had to know that Lan Jingling herself was a nerd producer. The same applied to her fans. Hence, she had a fixed customer base. The amount of new customers she gained wasn¡¯t too high. However, if she were to release such a document, she would be able to attract a different type of producer.

    Lan Jingling was actually trying to gain new fans by doing this.

    Some doubted her.

    "Is she capable in this aspect?"

    However, after some of them bought her research paper, they found that the gene armaments andbat methods contained within were nearly perfect. This was a research paper that was definitely worth buying.

    Lan Jingling was, after all, still a famous person. As such, it did not take her new research paper long to cause an uproar. Her poprity had even started overshadowing Chen Feng¡¯s poprity. The masses started talking about how Lan Jingling had finally transformed, how this nerd producer had finally left her house, etc.

    Only a small amount of people realized the truth. It was very probable that this paper had not been produced by Lan Jingling herself.

    From the style ofbat, this seemed more like something the producer at the second ce would release.

    "Did they form an alliance?"

    Chen Feng contemted. Or perhaps... a trade?

    Lan Jingling had used an imperfect research of hers to trade for this piece of research paper? If so, things would get very interesting.

    Report this?

    Chen Feng shook his head.

    That would be pointless. The masses would not care about this anyway.

    However, due to this, she had once again widened the gap between her contribution points and Chen Feng¡¯s.

    "This won¡¯t do..."

    Chen Feng shook his head.

    He truly had no time to waste half a month here with that Lan Jingling fellow. After two days, he still had to go participate on a mission. Since that was the case, he might as well release his trump card.

    "Well, you forced me to do this..."

    An odd smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    The next day, on Chen Feng¡¯s loot box, several bright red words appeared: Limited Sale!

 Chapter 263: Mission Personnel Squad

    Chapter 263: Mission Personnel Squad

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Limited sale! Besides the initial loot box that cost one contribution point per box, a brand new loot box appeared: 10-drop pack (sold at only six contribution points)!

    Ten-drop pack at only six contribution points?

    Bang!

    Everyone was stirred. The most terrifying part was the fact that this was not the end of it. The new event Chen Feng had applied for was also unveiled: brand new drop-rate increase mechanism for SSR drops!

    Every single repeat SSR drop a person obtained would double the drop rate for an SSR drop on that person¡¯s next attempt.

    For example, the original drop rate for SSR was 1%. If one were to obtain a repeat drop, one¡¯s drop rate for SSR would be 2% for one¡¯s next attempt. If it was still a repeat drop... the subsequent attempt would be 4%, followed by 8%, 16%, 32%, etc!

    Only when one managed to obtain a non-repeat SSR drop would the drop rate be reset to the original rate.

    Bang!

    This drove the whole world crazy.

    The release of this news caused a sensation akin to an earthquake.

    On this day, where the poprity of Chen Feng¡¯s loot box was dropping slightly, this promotion and drop-rate-increase event by Chen Feng awoke countless people from their temporary slumber. This was especially true for the unlucky victims of Chen Feng who had yet to obtain the SSR drop they wanted.

    "With this drop rate increase mechanism..."

    Countless people were enticed.

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, it¡¯s a promotion!"

    "A promotion that will onlyst 24 hours..."

    "40% discount!"

    "Buy, buy, buy!"

    "Open, open, open!"

    Everyone was driven crazy.

    By dangling out a beautiful carrot, Chen Feng drew everyone into the trap he¡¯d set, luring them to start going crazy to get the SSR drop they wanted.

    However, they seemed to have forgotten one crucial aspect of this: Was an SSR drop so easy to obtain?

    The premise for one to have their drop rate increased was for them to first obtain an SSR drop. From the initial 1% drop rate to 2% and then to 4%, this was in itself a huge pit waiting for those intending to increase their drop rate to jump into. One would end up wasting several hundreds or thousands of contribution points for this.

    This single point put Chen Feng¡¯s strategy miles ahead of Lan Jingling¡¯s strategy.

    Thereupon, with a stupefied expression on her face, Lan Jingling watched on as her brand new research paper¡¯s sales volume plummeted to the point where her second day¡¯s sales volume was not even 1% of her first day¡¯s sales volume.

    How is this possible...

    Lan Jingling was bewildered.

    Now, Chen Feng¡¯s contribution points were increasing crazily.

    Promotion!

    SSR!

    Buy buy buy!

    These three were the keywords that flooded the whole inte.

    And on the rankings, everyone watched on in shock as Chen Feng¡¯s ranking started surpassing one person after another, increasing to the point where he was now running neck and neck with Lan Jingling. Even when he reached this point, his contribution points were still increasing rapidly.

    Late that night, Chen Feng finally surpassed Lan Jingling, obtaining first ce on the excellence rankings.

    Shua!

    The whole of Star City was shocked.

    "The f*ck?"

    "Chen Feng really obtained first ce?"

    "How is this possible? Lan Jingling prepared for one whole year for this..."

    "Oh my god!"

    "There are so many people buying the solutions for these problems?"

    All the producers in Star City were stunned.

    They had never expected Chen Feng¡¯s "research paper" would be so terrifying, surpassing everyone in only half a month, including the Lan Jingling that had released two brand new research papers in a row.

    That was Lan Jingling he had just surpassed! A superpopr producer! If even she was defeated by Chen Feng, who else could stop Chen Feng¡¯s advance? No one would be able to!

    The next day, when the news of Chen Feng¡¯s first ce spread, the public realized the horror of this phenomenal loot box Chen Feng was selling.

    Surprisingly, this had kicked off another tide of frenzy shopping as Chen Feng¡¯s sales volume increased once again.

    Lan Jingling was copsing emotionally. She had initially believed that, once Chen Feng¡¯s one-day promotion was over, her research paper would easily gain ground on Chen Feng. Unexpectedly, Chen Feng¡¯s contribution points were still increasing at a crazy pace, surpassing her like a sh, leaving her far behind.

    "I¡¯m defeated..."

    Finally, she admitted this fact.

    Continue fighting? It was now pointless. Her years of umtion and one whole year of preparation had been surpassed by Chen Feng in half a month. In the remaining half month, she was no longer qualified topete with Chen Feng.

    After another day, the Lan Jingling that had previously been close behind Chen Feng was nowpletely shaken off.

    As for Chen Feng, his contribution points soared up to the heavens. It was at this point that the masses realized how terrifying Chen Feng¡¯s sales method was.

    "Swindler!"

    "Scammer!"

    "Where¡¯s your face?"

    Countless people hurled abuses at him on the inte.

    rming countless people was the fact that there were now people who started to imitate Chen Feng, selling their research papers through loot boxes.

    However... they all ended miserably.

    After one whole day, they failed to even sell 10 of their loot boxes.

    Not every single loot box would contain the solution that the public required. Not everyone was the founder of this sales method like Chen Feng. The poprity of the top solutions for the annual top 100 problems was not to be underestimated.

    Finally, the frenzy surrounding the loot boxes calmed down.

    The contribution points of Chen Feng, Lan Jingling, and others were increasing at a steady rate. However, the highest increase was still Chen Feng¡¯s!

    Winner takes all! This was the simple rule of the world!

    After obtaining first ce, due to the extra exposure this position brought him, coupled with a huge amount of streamers opening his loot boxes... all this only increased Chen Feng¡¯s poprity, instead of reducing it.

    Even if there was still half a month before the excellence award, first ce was now firmly in Chen Feng¡¯s hands.

    First ce: Chen Feng.

    Despite the fact that he had initially been attacked by the masses, causing him to lose his qualification topete for the excellence award, he had used this method to make aeback, grabbing first ce once again!

    "How ferocious!"

    "Unexpectedly, he is the final winner..."

    Everyonemented.

    It was over. The moment Chen Feng had grabbed the first ce, it could be said that the result was already determined then and there.

    Even if Lan Jingling had formed an alliance with the initial second ce, even after she had obtained his research paper to be released under her name, she had still lost to Chen Feng. This was the most terrifying aspect of Chen Feng¡¯s victory.

    "That bastard..."

    Hou Liang was shaken as well.

    He had never expected Chen Feng to achieve this in a mere half month. Regardless of his method of obtaining contribution points or the fact that he¡¯d been able to solve all those problems, all these were unexpected. One had to know that every single one of those annual top problems was a problem with an extremely high difficulty.

    Furthermore, these were problems whose solutions could only be obtained through thousands of experiments.

    "This kid..."

    Hou Liang sighed. Every single time he increased his acknowledgement on Chen Feng, that guy would give him a brand-new surprise. Perhaps Chen Feng was truly the one capable of bringing them miracles for situations such as the uing Star City battle.

    They had confirmed that what Chen Feng had told them was true. In less than a year, Star City would face a disaster. This was a disaster that they¡¯d failed to discover through normal methods. Only after Hou Liang¡¯s persistent applications had several experts who did not normally get along decide to work together to use some unique methods to ascertain that this disaster was indeeding.

    As for the reason this event was going to happen? It was still unknown.

    They had already dispatched some manpower to investigate this secretly. Those selected were those who they could absolutely trust. However, as of now, the only thing they could do was increase their strength.

    "Chen Feng..."

    Hou Liang nked as he thought of this.

    Currently, as the producers of the Star City were still busy testing some of Chen Feng¡¯s released theories, Chen Feng himself was already somewhere far away.

    Chen Feng smiled as he looked at the "mission personnel squad" in front of him. "How are you? I am Chen Feng."

    "He-hello," a timid sound replied, "I-I-I am the assigner of this mission."

    A pale person with a small frame squeezed out of the crowd, wiping the beads of sweat on his face as he walked toward Chen Feng.

    Instantly, Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

 Chapter 264: Alarming Discovery

    Chapter 264: rming Discovery

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    It was a little kid. To be more urate, it was a boy around 13 or 14 years of age. He had a tender-looking cheek, yet at the same time, he gave off an odd sense of maturity as well.

    "My... my name is Wu Hui," the boy said in a nervous yet serious fashion.

    Wu Hui...

    No Regrets... 1

    Chen Feng contemted and said, "Good name."

    "Th-thanks," Wu Hui replied with a flushed face.

    Behind him was a powerful old man with several tens of formidable gic warriors. Based on Chen Feng¡¯s rough guesses, this old man should be at least B ss, while the other gic warriors should be around C or D ss.

    Hum¡ª

    Chen Feng connected his screen with the boy¡¯s screen.

    Mission alignment.

    Ding!

    Data transfer.

    With that, 50,000 mission points were transmitted to the Gic Union. When this mission waspleted and Chen Feng obtained his item, the mission points would be transferred to the boy.

    "Thanks," the boy replied earnestly.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    From the boy¡¯s eyes, not a trace of the vivaciousness a boy his age should possess could be seen. Even when they were in the gic era, the life of this boy had obviously been too harsh.

    "Then let¡¯s begin the mission?" Wu Hui said.

    Chen Feng nodded slightly. "All right."

    Shua!

    The group of people set off.

    On the road, the boy gave Chen Feng a rough introduction to the old man and the group of gic warriors with him. After finding out the truth, Chen Feng had an odd feeling.

    The reason was the fact that the old man and all the gic warriors were members of the Wu family. This was actually a group of people from the same family.

    "Things are getting interesting." Chen Feng contemted. From their attitude toward that boy, it couldn¡¯t be seen at all that they were actually members of the same family.

    "Qin Hai, investigate someone for me." Chen Feng sent Wu Hui¡¯s details over to Qin Hai.

    Soon, Qin Hai replied with the information Chen Feng had requested. The Wu family had originally been quite a powerful family. However, this was a family centered on the family head, Wu Yaotian. When Wu Yaotian identally died, leaving behind Wu Hui, a son with almost zerobat power and who was publicly known as rubbish, the family had split apart.

    From then on, the Wu family had ceased to exist.

    An interesting fact was that, based on the information he¡¯d received, the reason Wu Yaotian would risking to such a ce was for his son¡ªfor Wu Hui!

    Wu Hui, a 14-year-old boy with exceptional talent, ability, and bloodline.

    Back then, Wu Yaotian and ady had fallen in love with each other. They had gotten married and given birth to a son. After that, thedy had mysteriously disappeared. No one knew where she had gone to; the only thing they knew was that her actual identity might have been extremely terrifying. Being her son, Wu Hui was destined to be different from the masses at birth. However, this was also the thing that had destroyed him.

    Due to him being too different, he could not fuse with 99% of the known gic abilities out there. All the fusion gene reagents would be destroyed immediately the moment they entered his body. Wu Hui¡¯s unique physique had caused quite an uproar back then. He was even the research target of a lot of gene producers. However, even until now, no one had managed to get a clear understanding of his physique.

    Due to this, Wu Hui¡¯s path of cultivation had stopped. Theoretically, he would forever remain at F-ss.

    Fortunately for him, his father was a gene producer. In order to help his son, Wu Yaotian had used all sorts of methods. Ultimately, he had sessfully helped his son break through.

    E ss and D ss! He¡¯d gone through two forceful breakthroughs without using any fusion gene reagents.

    This time, he¡¯de here to research a unique gene reagent to help push his son into C ss forcefully. However, an ident had ultimately happened.

    Chen Feng looked at Wu Hui. In his eyes, self-me and pain were apparent at all times.

    This kid... his life has probably been difficult.

    "Investigate Wu Neng for me."

    Noiselessly, Chen Fengmunicated with Qin Hai on his screen.

    Wu Neng was the old man beside Wu Hui. Even if his identity was stated as being the butler of Wu Hui, from his actions and expressions, he did not possess the attitude a butler should have. Furthermore, he did not appear the least bit concerned about Wu Hui.

    Shua!

    Soon, Qin Hai finished his investigation.

    Wu Neng, an ex-butler of the Wu family.

    After the incident of the Wu family, he had been the first one to abandon the family. He believed that Wu Yaotian¡¯s action of destroying the whole Wu family just for his son was an extremely idiotic action.

    Perhaps he had been a butler for too long, to the point he had forgotten that this was how the Wu family had always operated.

    How has such a person appeared beside Wu Hui now?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart stirred.

    The reason he hade here this time was to obtain a chance at breaking through after using 50,000 mission points. In fact, the affairs of the Wu family would not affect him much. However, if there were truly some unknown schemes going on here, he would most probably not get to enjoy the treatment of a boss.

    Seems like I have to be more cautious now , Chen Feng said inwardly.

    Shua!

    His footsteps became somewhat lighter. He pretended to be apletely ordinary producer, the type that possessed zerobat power. He followed Wu Hui into the middle of the group and started chatting Wu Hui up in the safe zone formed by the gic warriors around them.

    It did not take him long to be familiar with Wu Hui. As for Wu Neng and the rest, they maintained their silence as the group approached the target of this mission: Qinghe Grasnd.

    Based on the data released by the Gic Union, this ce was rated B ss. A high amount of powerful mutated beasts could be found here. However, the strongest of them were merely peak B ss. Back then, Wu Yaotian hade here with several B-ss gic warriors. No ident should have happened to him in that situation.

    Wu Neng and the rest slowed down. "Be careful."

    They were now extremely far away from the Gic Union¡¯s camp. If they were to encounter some unexpected danger here, it was very probable something bad would happen.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Suddenly, multiple silhouettes shed out of the bushes.

    "Enemy attack!" Wu Neng shouted.

    Some of their gic warriors made their move and impaled all the silhouettes on the spot. Astonishingly, those were all mutated wolves of the grasnd. All of them were at peak C ss.

    These wolves could be considered as one of the more violent andmonly seen mutated beasts here.

    "What a fast reaction." Chen Feng was fascinated. This mission might proceed smoother than he had expected. This was the first time Chen Feng took on the role of "boss." Getting such treatment, it was simply too good a feeling. He only needed to hide in the middle with everyone protecting him and him doing nothing.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The gic warriors continued battling the mutated beasts there. On their way, a countless amount of mutated beasts appeared. However, all these were easily dealt with by Wu Neng and the rest. A lot of them suffered some injuries due to the appearance of the pack of wolves.

    "An unknown mutated beast has appeared at three o¡¯clock."

    "Dealt with."

    "An unknown mutated beast had appeared at five o¡¯clock."

    "Dealt with."

    The teammunicated without stop.

    "How professional," Chen Fengmented.

    "They were the squad led by my father previously," Wu Hui said timidly and nervously.

    "Is that so?" Chen Feng replied with a smile. "So this time, they are helping you for the sake of their old friendship? To do you onest favor before they leave the Wu family for good?"

    "No." Wu Hui shook his head as his expression dimmed. "They were only here following Uncle Wu Neng. I previously begged them a lot of times, yet they all refused to help. This time, they only agreed to move for your 50,000 mission points. I promised him that, after this mission isplete, all the points will go to him. Only after that did he agreed to help. Actually, it has already been half a year since the mission was issued. If the mission points required were somewhat lower, I guess a lot of people would be willing to pay for it. However, Uncle Wu Neng insisted on 50,000 mission points as the minimum price. Hence, I could only let the mission be stuck there all this while with no takers..."

    Chen Feng nced at him. "In other words, you are not getting anything out of this?"

    Wu Hui whispered, "At least... I can retrieve my father¡¯s corpse..."

    Chen Feng sunk into silence. After suffering untold hardships and a half-year wait and even giving up his chance to enter C ss, he had chosen toe here only to bring the remains of his father back home?

    "How about your assets?" Chen Feng was somewhat astonished. Even if the Wu family ceased to exist, their assets should still exist, right? He could have hired some professional squads, and he would be able to both obtain the gene reagent and retrieve his father¡¯s remains.

    Wu Hui lowered his head. "Our rtives gobbled up all the leftover assets."

    The him with zerobat power was simply someone everyone could ravage. If not for the fact that they were afraid of his mysterious mother that might still be alive, he probably would have lost his life long ago.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    This kid was truly too pitiful!

    However, Chen Feng would not be able to help him much. Everyone had their own path. He was not kind enough to the point where he would help any random person. However, from the description, Wu Neng did not appear too responsible a person.

    Perhaps...

    Chen Feng started contemting.

    As of now, the group had sessfully entered the depths of the Qinghe Grasnds.

    Howl¡ª

    An overcast howl echoed in the air.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Loud sounds echoed, apanied by deep footsteps.

    "Not good!"

    Everyone¡¯s expression changed.

    A terrifying five-meter-tall mutated beast walked out of the depths of the grasnd. Its whole body was emitting a terrifying might, and its pair of eyes were akin to hugenterns shining amidst the dark.

    Peak B ss! The king-like existence here!

    "Be careful."

    The expressions of Wu Neng and the rest became solemn.

    However, this time, Chen Feng¡¯s heart thumped. This was because, on this terrifying mutated beast¡¯s chest, a familiar namete could be seen.

    Duma???

 Chapter 265: Blocking the Reinforcements?

    Chapter 265: Blocking the Reinforcements?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Duma...

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. Thest time he¡¯d seen this name was on the namete worn by that giant tortoise. Why did a mutated beast from the Qinghe Grasnd have this namete as well?

    What did the word Duma signify? Was it the name of an organization? Code name for an experiment? Or the name of a person? No one knew the answer.

    This was an extremely powerful mutated grasnd wolf. It was at B ss with unknownbat power. However, based on its build, it should be an existence akin to a tyrant of this area.

    Howl¡ª

    With a howl, a terrifying pressure started emitting from the wolf as it started making its move.

    "Go!" Wu Neng shouted.

    They had long ago familiarized themselves with the mutated beasts here.

    "Mutated grasnd wolf, a B-ss beast. If it is a leader, it might have received some sort of bloodline inheritance to reach the peak of B ss. We must deal with it in the shortest time possible before entering the depths of this grasnd."

    "Understood."

    The squad moved and the battle erupted.

    As for Chen Feng, noiselessly, he dragged Wu Hui backward to make a distance from the battle. Everything seemed to be unfolding smoothly; however, that familiar namete...

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Sounds of explosion resounded without stop.

    Next, the grasnd wolf retreated with injuries all over its body.

    "Kill it!" Wu Neng ordered coldly.

    However, at this very moment, a somewhat high-pitched, unfamiliar voice suddenly appeared. "Damn, damn, damn, you bastards are too much of a bully!"

    ??

    Everyone was confused.

    As they paid more attention to the source of the voice, their expressions changed abruptly as they discovered that the voice originated from that grasnd wolf. It was actually capable of speech!

    Wu Neng was horrified. "You can talk?"

    "What nonsense! I¡¯m not a mute; why can¡¯t I talk?" the grasnd wolf bellowed. "If you bastards dare to enter, do you believe that I won¡¯t summon my fellow brothers at any time to kill all of you? Do you know how many grasnd wolves there are here? Do you know my identity? F*ck off out of this ce!"

    Everyone: "..."

    It was truly unheard of that a mutated grasnd wolf could actually talk.

    "A grasnd wolf capable of speech..." Wu Neng¡¯s eyes shone. "If we capture you as a research subject..."

    Shua!

    The grasnd wolf¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    Ao¡ª

    It howled. That howl of its seemed to pierce through the heavens. However, even with this, not a single grasnd wolf appeared.

    The grasnd wolf was stupefied. "What¡¯s going on?"

    "Hehe. Do you really think that we have not made any preparations?" Wu Neng had an overcast expression. "Since we decided toe here, we of course made sufficient preparations to prevent you from summoning yourpanions."

    Beside him was a gic warrior surrounded by a faint glimmer.

    Ao¡ª

    The grasnd wolf¡¯s howl was perfectly neutralized by that glimmer, unable to travel further.

    Based on their calctions, a grasnd wolf would howl at a certain frequency to request reinforcements from other wolves. Hence, one could determine the frequency when a wolf howled to request for reinforcements. Subsequently, they only needed to block all howls at this frequency. At that, they would be able to iste the wolves and defeat them separately. They had already made sufficient preparations to deal with the wolf pack here.

    "Capture it alive," Wu Neng ordered proudly.

    Just as he was momentarily distracted, he saw that the grasnd wolf in front of him was raising its head and facing the sky.

    What is it doing? Howling? The frequency of its howl is already locked down, it is simply pointless. What is this wolf nning?

    Surprising him, the wolf merely looked at him with a bizarre expression in its eyes. That seemed to be the expression one used when one looked sympathetically at some retarded person.

    Is it a misconception?

    Next, his eyes widened abruptly.

    This was because, after the wolf adjusted its pose, it started shouting, "Brothers, I am being attacked by some bastards! Fast, save me!!! Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah,e, wolves! They are bullying a wolf! Save my life! Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, you bastards, I am protected wildlife!" The odd howl and human speech seemed to interweave together.

    ???

    Wu Neng¡¯s group was struck dumb by this scene.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    A light wave flickered around the gic warrior beside Wu Neng as he blocked off a majority of the voice. "Boss, don¡¯t worry. None of the howls will be able to spread out of here."

    It was true that the wolf¡¯s howls would not be able to spread out of here. However, arge portion of the noise the wolf was making was in human speech!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The earth started trembling. One grasnd wolf after another appeared, each with a vicious expression on its face.

    The wolves were here! Perhaps they had truly not heard the howls. However, that shout in human speech was sufficient to give them a sense of crisis that caused their hair to stand. This alone was sufficient to draw them here.

    One, two, three...

    Soon, a huge amount of grasnd wolves appeared.

    B ss!

    All of them were B-ss wolves!

    The squad sunk into despair as they witnessed this scene.

    It wouldn¡¯t be a problem for them to deal with several B-ss wolves. However, when the amount reached several dozens of or over a hundred B-ss wolves, they would bepletely helpless. Only death awaited them.

    This, this, this... how did this happen?

    Wu Neng and his group were at a loss of words. They had never expected that their seemingly wless n would be defeated by this bizarre grasnd wolf they had encountered here.

    What damnable beast is this? A mutated grasnd wolf capable of speech and possessing intelligence rivaling a human¡¯s?

    Wu Neng clenched his teeth. "How hateful!"

    "What should we do?" The expressions of the rest of them became unsightly. The wolves started approaching and surrounding them.

    Chen Feng...

    Suddenly, Wu Neng recalled this person.

    True, Chen Feng was merely a producer. However, if he recalled correctly, the inte seemed to know him as a miracle creator, or something like that, since he was capable of creating miracles every single time.

    At this thought, he instinctively looked in the direction Chen Feng was at.

    Next... he saw Chen Feng with Wu Hui in his embrace. They had both hidden themselves in the middle of the squad and were trembling in fear.

    Wu Neng: "..."

    Hu¡ª

    He inhaled deeply. Seemed like he could only do that.

    "n C."

    "Understood."

    One of the gic warriors stepped forth.

    Bang!

    Instantly, a terrifying mist enveloped the area. This was a B-ss gic ability unique to him: Emperor¡¯s Haze. This ability was able to restrict all perception-rted abilities. Allbat-rted abilities would be limited as well. Within this mist, one could only rely on their naked eyes as their sense.

    However, the visibility here had a range of only two meters. This was applicable to everyone, regardless of them being enemies or his own allies.

    This was the strongest crisis-solving method they had. Regardless of how powerful the enemy was, at this instant, they were as good as blind. This would give them sufficient time to flee. This would be applicable when used against these wolves as well.

    Granted, that wolf leader was too bizarre. However, the rest of the wolves were merely normal B-ss mutated beasts.

    "Follow me!" that gic warrior said in a low voice.

    With Wu Neng at the front, everyone followed behind that gic warrior as they started leaving noiselessly.

    They could vaguely feel that there were countless wolves wandering around them. However, the wolves were simply incapable of detecting them. Just like this, they managed to leave this ce quietly.

    "That damnable grasnd wolf..."

    Wu Neng sneered.

    A wolf capable of speech would have definitely gone through an unknown degree of mutation. If it was captured and its body dismembered for research... the research result might be invaluable!

    After dealing with Wu Hui¡¯s affair, he would most certainly return to deal with this wolf.

    However, what he did not notice was the fact that, amidst the darkness, as the countless wolves wandered around in confusion, that grasnd wolf leader¡¯s eyes were still as intense as before, without the slightest trace of confusion within.

    Its eyes flickered as its gaze skipped through Wu Neng beforending directly on Chen Feng¡¯s body. There, a familiar aura could be felt.

 Chapter 266: Struggle Against the Heavens!

    Chapter 266: Struggle Against the Heavens!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the depths of the grasnd were huge ruins with flickering light swirling around them. Numerous huge boulders stood tall, giving off an extremely oppressive feeling. This was one of the core regions of the Qinghe Grasnd. After escaping from the wolves, they had managed to arrive here after great difficulty.

    Hum¡ª

    Light was swirling around. At the center of that area, a drop of azure-colored liquid could be seen. It was flickering unceasingly, emitting a bizarre-looking radiance. In front of that liquid stood a middle-aged man with his back to everyone there. His right hand was slightly raised.

    That person was...

    "Father!" Wu Hui¡¯s heart trembled.

    This is Wu Yaotian?

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils abruptly shrank. As he concentrated, he found that, although that silhouette appeared lifelike, it was in fact a stiff body. This was a corpse!

    However...from the side, the corpse appeared intact. It had been half a year since his death. Chen Feng was shocked. Based on the data he¡¯d received, Wu Yaotian had already been dead for half a year. He had initially believed that only some skeleton remains would be found here. Unexpectedly...

    For no apparent reason, the boulders here started giving Chen Feng a bizarre feeling.

    Chen Feng pulled Wu Hui back. "There¡¯s no need to rush."

    "Mhm." Wu Hui whispered, "That is the gene reagent father produced."

    Chen Feng followed his gaze and saw that drop of liquid hovering in front of Wu Yaotian. That was also the main target of this mission, the very gene reagent capable of helping Chen Feng¡¯s breakthrough.

    The gene reagent rumored to be capable of helping one break through the D-ss limit.

    "Will it truly work?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Mhm." In a low voice, Wu Hui said, "My father is the one who sent me the details, telling me toe over. Unfortunately..."

    Wu Hui¡¯s expression dimmed.

    If it wasn¡¯t for him, his father wouldn¡¯t have ended up dead.

    Shua!

    Wu Hui transmitted the details to Chen Feng. The details indicated that under normal circumstances it was simply impossible for this gene reagent to be capable of forcing a D-ss breakthrough to exist. The production of this gene reagent could not possibly seed either. However, if it was produced in a unique environment, it was probable for the production to seed.

    For example, this ce, the ce known as Frog Valley. Previously, this had been a swamp created after the Qinghe River had flown through here. Next it be and filled with frogs. Due to the existence of a mysterious species of frogs here, this ce was enveloped by a mysterious power.

    Time. The time here moved slower than in the outside world.

    ----

    ck Frog

    ss: B

    Ability: Slows the time around it, increasing the lifespan of this beast.

    Combat power: Nonexistent

    ----

    This was the reason Wu Yaotian hade here. Using a unique formation, he had trapped these ck frogs here. Next, he had utilized their unique ability to slow down the area that he would be using for the gene production. Finally, he¡¯dpleted a production that would normally notplete. Ultimately, the D-ss limit breakthrough gene reagent, that blue drop of liquid, had been produced sessfully.

    After the production, he had happily sent a message to his son. However, for unknown reason, before Wu Hui could even get here, Wu Yaotian was eternally frozen here.

    The same expression still remained on his face. Even his whole body had not changed at all. However, he was no longer alive. What had happened here?

    Wu Nengmanded one of them to go forth. "Let¡¯s go take a look."

    In front of them were numerous boulders that gave off an oppressive feeling. Even when that blue liquid was right in front of them, none of them dared to act recklessly.

    "Yes."

    A gic warrior walked forth.

    Ten meters, 20 meters, 30 meters. Carefully, he reached Wu Yaotian. As of now, nothing seemed to be happening.

    "Retrieve that drop of liquid," Wu Neng ordered.

    Shua!

    That person walked forth. However, just as he was about to get in contact with that liquid, a light blue radiance flickered suddenly. Next, he instantly became immobile.

    What?

    Everyone¡¯s heart thumped violently.

    Dead? What¡¯s going on?

    This scene they witnessed was too horrifying.

    "Third brother!" A gic warrior charged out and patted the shoulder of that immobile person. However, nothing happened. That person seemed to have turned into some sort of sculpture that would not wake up no matter what they tried.

    He seemed to have been paused in time. Everyone was horrified. This ce was much more terrifying than they had imagined.

    "Try using some items on it," Chen Feng proposed.

    Shortly after, Wu Neng ordered someone to test it out. It was ineffective. Any nonliving object would simply phase through that drop of liquid.

    "How about using mutated beasts?" Chen Feng asked.

    Shua!

    They captured a mutated beast and tossed it inside. However, an astonishing thing happened. That mutated beast paused right there as well. Paused in time!

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone inhaled a mouthful of cold breath.

    "Help me with perform some tests." As a producer, Chen Feng was well versed with performing various tests. Wu Neng ordered some of the squad members to help. Soon, they were able to conclude that this boulder formation here contained a mysterious power within. Any life form entering the center of this formation would be paused in time.

    This is the power of the ck frog! Chen Feng realized. Basically, the ck frog possessed the power to slow down time. However, time was constant, not something one could slow down or speed up as one wished. Hence, the so-called slowing down of time was essentially a feat achieved through absorbing the time out of other life forms, bringing about the effect of the slowdown of time.

    The ck frogs were capable of absorbing the time of other life forms, even though the amount of time they could absorb was rather tiny. Wu Yaotian had done theplete opposite of this. He had trapped all the frogs in the formation. Using some unique methods, he had forced the frogs to emit instead of absorb time.

    After figuring this out, everyone here was iparably rmed. Time control? This was something akin to the power of the gods! Wasn¡¯t Wu Yaotian courting death by messing with such a power? Even the formidable B-ss mutated beast ck frog lost all their otherbat powers after obtaining the ability to slow down time. As for Wu Yaotian? He had directly used these frogs in his attempt to control time itself.

    It was also thanks to this feat of his that he had found methods of breaking through limits for his son time and time again by creating gene reagents that could simply not exist under normal circumstances.

    However, he had ultimately still ended up devoured by the very power of time he had used.

    Chen Feng guessed that it was very probable this had happened to Wu Neng due to the power of time he harnessed this time being too powerful. Hence, after sessfully producing the gene reagent, he had been hit by the bacsh of the power of time.

    Wu Hui was agitated. "In other words... my father might be alive?"

    Since his father was merely paused in time, it was very probable he was still alive. If this boulder formation was broken, they might be able to rescue him!

    "Come, tear this formation apart." Wu Neng ordered.

    They did not dare to enter the center of the formation. However, they were more than willing to tear down the boulders from outside the formation. Thereupon, they started demolishing the formation crazily.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    One boulder after another copsed onto the ground.

    At the center of the formation, the power of time seemed to have rxed. Gradually, time seemed to start flowing again as the eyshes of Wu Yaotian could be seen trembling. He was about to wake up! Everyone was in ecstasy at this.

    The original mission was to recover Wu Yaotian¡¯s corpse. However, if he could be rescued alive, it would be beneficial for everyone here, especially for Wu Hui. The person frozen there was a genuine master producer!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Boulders copsed without stop. Apanying the copse of the boulders were the cries of frogs. An azure radiance started shining, akin to a faint light wave that was dispersing noiselessly.

    Shua!

    The flow of time was reinstated.

    Hum¡ª

    Light swirled around.

    Everyone could clearly see the two immobile silhouettes at the center of the formation waking up. Wu Yaotian was staring at his own son after opening his eyes.

    Wu Yaotian looked at his son in surprise. "Little Hui!"

    Wu Hui¡¯s emotions surged. "Father!"

    However, at this instant, with a slight breeze, Wu Yaotian¡¯s body transformed into countless particles that dispersed everywhere, drifting around in the air.

    Wu Hui rmingly shouted, "No! Father!!!"

    He charged out and grabbed at his father. However, his hands merelynded among the particles swirling in the air. Wu Yaotian had disappeared.

    "What happened?"

    Everyone else was bewildered.

    Right at this moment, on the body of the other gic warrior that had previously been frozen in time, a countless amount of bloody holes appeared. He resembled someone that had been beaten up viciously by countless people as his whole body, his internal organs, his whole person had suddenly received a huge damage.

    Pu!

    Dead.

    ???

    Everyone was stunned.

    "Third brother!" The other gic warrior started raging as he shouted, "Who is it? Do you dare you reveal yourself?!"

    Everyone else had a solemn expression on their faces as well. It was outside of everyone¡¯s expectations that, just as the boulder formation was destroyed, Wu Yaotian and the other gic warrior would die directly. On the other hand, the other mutated beast they had used to test the formation had fled just like that after being freed.

    Out of the two humans and one beast that had been paused in time, only the beast had survived. What on earth was going on here?

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "Time..."

    Suddenly, Wu Neng asked, "Have you figured out who is the killer?" He had been paying close attention to Chen Feng¡¯s expression.

    "I have a rough guess."

    Chen Feng replied calmly.

    "Who?"

    The rest instinctively looked at him.

    "Tell me, I will definitely kill him!" the friend of the dead gic warrior said with surging killing intent.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "The one that killed him is you yourself."

    What?

    Everyone¡¯s heart jolted.

    "What nonsense are you spouting?" That person was furious. "How is it possible that I am third brother¡¯s killer?"

    Chen Feng sighed. "Because of time..."

    Time. An extremely unique type of power. When time had been frozen earlier, he had grabbed onto his third brother and shook his body. On top of that, he had been pping his third brother¡¯s face and body without stop.

    The moment time had unpaused, all the force he exerted on his third brother during all the shaking and pping had erupted instantly. And just like that, that person had been killed on the spot by the erupted pressure. As for Wu Yaotian, the reason of his death was simr. He had been frozen out here under the sun and the wind for half a year.

    It might appear like there had been no damage to his body but, through this time, all the force exerted by the wind on his body, the energy of the sunshine umted on his body, all of this had been frozen in time on his body. Nothing had happened all this while as the time there had been frozen. However, after time was reinstated, all these energies and forces erupted at the same instant.

    Shua!

    Next, with the addition of a single breeze, Wu Yaotian¡¯s body had reduced into nothingness. Dead.

    As for the mutated beast that had been thrown in there by them, due to everyone ignoring it after it had been frozen, and the short duration it was frozen, it had be the sole survivor after time was reinstated.

    This was the mostmentable of all this.

    That friend of the dead third brother copsed emotionally. "No!!!"

    He had never expected that he would be the cause of his third brother¡¯s death. If he hadn¡¯t been overly worried of his third brother to the point where he¡¯d charged out and started shaking his third brother¡¯s body, his third brother wouldn¡¯t have received such damage the first instant after time was unpaused. How hateful!

    Wu Hui was filled with sorrow as well. "Father..."

    Why had the heavens given him this small hope before raining despair upon him? Not a single trace of his father¡¯s body remained. The original intention of this mission could no longer be aplished.

    "Sigh." Wu Neng sighed as well. "I had initially believed that the old master would be able to survive. How unfortunate. However, since we failed to rescue the old master, let¡¯splete the final transaction for this mission."

    "Naturally," an unfamiliar voice replied.

    From the crowd, a smiling gic warrior walked out of Wu Neng¡¯s squad.

    "Old Wu... our transaction is now concluded."

    Shua!

    Shua!

    What followed were several ice-cold shes.

    "You all..."

    Just as the guards around Wu Hui wanted to resist, they were all killed by theirpanion beside them. All of them were instantly killed. In a short moment, the only one left beside Wu Hui was Chen Feng.

    "You..."

    Wu Hui stared at him with an unbelieving expression.

    "Kid... I¡¯m truly sorry."

    A cruel smile appeared on Wu Neng¡¯s face.

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Winner takes all. The death of Wu Yaotian sealed the Wu family¡¯s fate of decline. Hence, Wu Neng had long ago prepared a backup n for himself, which consisted of the 50,000 mission points from this mission and the extra benefit he would obtain from the extra deal he¡¯d made.

    With an amazed expression, that person stared at that drop of blue liquid that was hovering in midair. "This is the gene reagent you proimed to possess a 100% sess rate when breaking through?"

    "Yes! The boulder formation had already been destroyed. The effect of this thing here will definitely be satisfactory to you," Wu Neng replied with a smile.

    "You..." Finally, Wu Hui understood what was going on. This bastard Wu Neng had actually sold this gene reagent two times. Once to Chen Feng for 50,000 mission points and once to another person in the dark.

    Wu Hui red at him. "Doing this, you will be arrested by the Gic Union."

    "I¡¯m aware of that." Wu Neng appeared calm. "However, the only update they will receive is everyone in this mission perishing, me included. Next, I will change my identity to start a new life."

    Wu Hui was furious."You are shameless!"

    How did this happen...

    He had previously believed that Wu Neng was already quite excessive for refusing to help collect his father¡¯s remains before receiving the payment of 50,000 mission points. Unexpectedly, he was brave enough to do this.

    Wu Nengughed. "Child, this is how the real world works. Your father put great efforts toward you, giving you your current achievement of being at D ss, soon to be C ss, at this young age, surpassing countless people. However, what was the point of all his effort?

    "Despite your ss, you possess zero gic abilities and zerobat power. To be honest, if you were a person of astonishing talent, not only would I not act against you, I would assist you in bing the strongest expert of the Wu family after your father perished. However, it is truly unfortunate that you are not even qualified to receive my service. You are simply too weak. Hence, sorry, child. I have to teach you how society works before you have even grown up."

    Wu Neng continued his cruel words, "Honestly, the moment he decided to nurture you, I already knew that there would be a day where the Wu family was finished. Hence, I prepared a backup n for myself long ago. Nurturing trash is simply the fastest way for a family to decline."

    Every single word of Wu Neng¡¯s pierced straight to Wu Hui¡¯s heart. His heart was bleeding. His hands were bleeding as well from his clenched fists.

    Wu Neng¡¯s cold voice resounded, "Remember, the killer of your father is none other than you! Now you can enter thend of the death to apologize to your father!"

    Bang!

    A terrifying radiance bloomed.

    However, at this instant, a loud noise could be heard.

    Bang!

    A huge clump of energy armor appeared and blocked Wu Neng¡¯s attack.

    "Chen Feng!!" With a single nce, Wu Neng realized who it was. "You are courting death!"

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    A terrifying B-ss secret art attack was sent forth to Chen Feng.

    "Hmph." As a response, Chen Feng merely snorted and ignored the iing attack. His energy armor that was soaring upward instantly disassembled before reassembling into something resembling a high-speed missile warhead before smashing toward Wu Neng.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The area of impact exploded with a bright radiance. At that instant, a terrifying amount of energy erupted, knocking everyone out of the immediate vicinity of the area of impact, B-ss warriors included!

    Chen Feng¡¯s sudden eruption was truly too astonishing. None of them had imagined that a mere D ss, a producer that was here as a "boss," would be so terrifyingly powerful.

    Soon, everyone crawled up with soot all over their faces. The initial intact formation of the squad members was nowpletely messed up.

    As for the weaker members of the squad, those at peak C ss and below had all been killed in the explosion. Chen Feng¡¯s energy equipment possessed a strength surpassing their imaginations when it separated from his body.

    Wu Neng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Chen Feng!!!"

    As he turned around, he noticed that the drop of blue liquid had now disappeared.

    "He is that rookie tournament champion?" That gic warrior sneered. "Initially, I had zero interest in him. However, since he dared to take this thing from me, he is truly seeking death."

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Rows of silhouettes appeared. From the darkness, a higher amount of B-ss warriors appeared. These were all his subordinates.

    "Prepare," Wu Neng ordered as his gaze swirled around beforending on spot beneath the destroyed boulder formation. Underneath the ruins, a tunnel seemed to exist. It was probably something Wu Yaotian had dug back then.

    "They are hiding in there! Go! Block all the exits. No one is allowed to leave. Anyone you find in there, kill without question."

    "Understood."

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Multiple silhouettes shed forth and entered the tunnel. All of them were B-ss gic warriors. These newly appeared enemies were much more terrifying than Chen Feng had imagined.

    "This underground area doesn¡¯t seem to be too big," Wu Neng said coldly. "They won¡¯t be able to flee too far away from us."

    "Hopefully so." That gic warrior sneered, "If he escapes sessfully, it will be considered your mistake. After all, you have yet to deliver the item to me. Hehehe, at that time, you will..."

    Wu Neng¡¯s lips twitched.

    He was too clear on the type of people he was working with. This was a mission he had toplete!

    "Don¡¯t worry."

    He inhaled deeply before joining the group of people chasing after Chen Feng and Wu Hui. He wanted to see with his own eyes how great a mere D-ss gene producer would be!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Silhouettes streaked forth without stop.

    Currently, within the underground tunnel, Chen Feng was escaping with a skinny kid by his side. His back chilled, signifying how terrifying those people chasing after him were. All of them were B ss!

    It might be possible for him to deal with one of them, but several dozen of them? That was impossible. Hence, he could only escape.

    The moment that gic warrior appeared, Chen Feng had been having an ominous feeling. If Wu Neng was truly going to betray them, he would definitely eliminate any potential witness. Hence, the only thing he could do was escape. As for Wu Hui, he had merely made a random decision to just bring the kid along while he escaped.

    This kid was already quite pitiful. If possible, he would not mind taking him along together while he escaped. Naturally, this was on the premise that his own safety would not bepromised while bringing this kid along.

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    Chen Feng streaked forth with Wu Hui through the tunnel. He was looking for an opportunity to charge out of here. However, almost all possible exits were blockaded. As of now, he could only hide himself with Wu Hui in these tunnels.

    However, it wouldn¡¯t be long before they no longer had anywhere to go.

    "This can¡¯t continue." Chen Feng inhaled deeply. Seems like I need to counter attack. He looked at Wu Hui. He was, after all, still someone at the peak of D ss. Theoretically, Wu Hui was at the same level as Chen Feng. Regardless of how weak hisbat power was, he should still possess some sort ofbat power right? "Wu Hui. What gic abilities do you have?"

    Wu Hui lowered his head in shame. "I don¡¯t have any."

    "None???" Chen Feng was dumbstruck. "Not a single one?"

    Wu Hui lowered his head timidly. "Mhm."

    That thin body of his appeared even more frail now.

    How is this possible...

    Chen Feng¡¯s head ached. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Wu Hui might possess some clues regarding the form for that gene reagent, he would probably be considering leaving him behind and escaping by himself.

    "I... have zerobat power," Wu Hui said sadly. "They... all say that I am trash... I do possess a gic ability, but I do not know what ability I have. No amount of research could find out my gic ability. Even after the tests performed by the research institute on my body, they still failed to determine my ability..." Wu Hui¡¯s expression dimmed.

    His father was a master producer and had explored all possibilities. However, it had not worked.

    He seemed to have been suppressed by his mother¡¯s bloodline coursing in his veins, causing him to not possess any gic abilities. To be urate, the bloodline inherited by his mother was too powerful. As such, all other genes were suppressed, causing all sorts of gene fusions to fail. This was the reason why he had not fused with any fusion gene reagents until now. All the fusions would simply fail.

    Chen Feng frowned. He refused to believe that an ability that could not be determined existed. "Try demonstrating it to me."

    "Mhm," Wu Hui replied.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint glimmer appeared in his hands as a translucent undtion appeared. Next, it disappeared.

    ??

    Chen Feng was somewhat stupefied. "That¡¯s it?"

    Wu Hui head was even lower now. "That¡¯s it."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    What damnable ability is this?

    He was certain that the people from the research institute had definitely tried having Wu Hui using his ability on various objects. Only after countless attempts with no results would it be determined that he was trash.

    Chen Feng couldn¡¯t help but to ask, "It has zero usage?"

    With a low voice, Wu Hui replied, "Mhm. The research institute tried it on over 3,000 objects and mutated beasts. No effects."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Fine, since Wu Hui had zerobat power, Chen Feng decided that he could only depend on himself. He checked his luck value. At that, his heart ached. For the form, he would have to give it his all.

    Currently, in Wu Hui¡¯s hands, a faint undtion that seemingly existed yet did not exist seemed to flicker without stop. He was aware of his zerobat power. As such, he was using his spiritual energy to keep trying in the hope of discovering some usage for his ability.

    Even if he had never seeded so far, he had never given up.

    "Do you think a club will jump out from those attempts?" Chen Feng petntly said before continuing, "Come, let¡¯s go."

    He held onto Wu Hui and prepared to leave. However, right at this instant, the faint undtion in Wu Hui¡¯s hands actually condensed before taking the form of a club!

    ??

    Wu Hui¡¯s mouth was left hanging.

    This...

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils shrunk.

    Cl-club? How is this possible? How did Wu Hui create a club? Wait, could it be...

    Chen Feng seemed to have thought of something as his emotions stirred. He stared at Wu Hui with an inconceivable expression. If his guess was correct, it was very probable that this kid possessed an extremely powerful ability.

 Chapter 268: The Strongest and Weakest Ability

    Chapter 268: The Strongest and Weakest Ability

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Wu Hui was dumbstruck. "I finally created something?"

    He had tried countless times, yet every single time, nothing would appear. In fact, nothing had ever happened when he¡¯d tried his ability. But this time...

    He looked at the club in his hand.

    ng!

    He groaned as he rubbed his head. "It hurts!"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Which idiot will knock his own head with a club?

    "I wanted to test if this is for real." Wu Hui rubbed his head, yet his eyes were filled with joy. "It¡¯s real, I think it¡¯s real! Hahaha. My ability is useful after all, I truly have an ability after all!"

    Wu Hui was extremely excited.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Good, let¡¯s perform further tests then."

    "All right," Wu Hui replied solemnly. Next, with an extremely sincere demeanor, he shouted, "Appear, club!"

    Hum¡ª

    A dim flicker appeared. The dark tunnel brightened momentarily before it sunk back into darkness. The expression on Wu Hui¡¯s face froze.

    It was ineffective! Once again, it was ineffective!

    "Why has this happened..." He was at a loss. There was still nothing this time?

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    He started furiously activating his ability yet nothing happened.

    "Stop." Chen Feng waved his hand. "I¡¯m not telling you to test it this way. Think carefully. That very instant where you summoned the club, how did you do that?"

    "How?" Wu Hui nked. "I was thinking of proving to you that..."

    "Proving to me?" Chen Feng confirmed.

    "Yes." Wu Hui lowered his head. "You rescued me. I only wanted to be of help instead of causing you more trouble."

    "Very good." Chen Feng nodded his head. "If so, continue putting your attention on me. When you release your ability, lock your target and spiritual energy onto me. Do you understand?" Chen Feng reminded him.

    Wu Hui nodded. "Ah? Mhm."

    Let¡¯s begin, then," Chen Feng said.

    Wu Hui inhaled deeply. "Hu."

    A dim radiance started condensing as his ability activated. This time, he did not focus on summoning a club. Instead, he was doing what Chen Feng told him, focusing all his attention on Chen Feng before activating his ability.

    Hum¡ª

    Light started swirling. In Wu Hui¡¯s hand, once again, a club appeared.

    Wu Hui was shaken. "It¡¯s here!"

    This... how is this possible?!

    He had obviously failed to summon this club after numerous attempts the previous time...

    "Indeed." Chen Feng was inwardly shaken. He had guessed correctly; Wu Hui¡¯s ability was indeed what he had guessed.

    "Again." Once again, Wu Hui activated his ability. This time, though, ance appeared in his hand.

    ??

    He was dumbstruck.

    This... what was going on? After locking onto Chen Feng with his ability, as long as he activated it against Chen Feng, all sorts of weird items would appear. Was this how his ability worked?

    Once again, Wu Hui activated his ability.

    Bang!

    A surging radiance appeared. Around Wu Hui¡¯s body, a huge Energy Equipment appeared. The terrifying might and aura it was emitting were actually exactly the same as Chen Feng¡¯s Energy Equipment.

    This...

    Wu Hui widened his eyes. He could feel that, at this moment, he was unprecedentedly powerful!

    Shua!

    Shortly after, the Energy Equipment disappeared. Despite that, Wu Hui was still immersed in the previous prowess he had possessed. He stared at Chen Feng with thirst in his eyes. He knew that Chen Feng might have solved the mystery surrounding his ability.

    Wu Hui¡¯s eyes were filled with anticipation. "Big Brother Chen..."

    He had beenbeled as a trash for far too long! Even his father was dead because of this. He was filled with the urge to prove himself.

    He stared at Chen Feng with thirst in his eyes. "Help me..."

    Chen Feng shook his head with a smile on his face. "You don¡¯t need my help. Your ability is the only one of its kind in this world, an unequaled existence. It is the weakest ability, yet at the same time, it is also the strongest ability."

    Ah? Wu Hui was puzzled. What does that mean?

    Chen Feng sighed. "In fact, your ability is something that will change its form based on your target. If your target believes that your ability is powerful, your ability will manifest something powerful. If he believes that your ability is weak, your ability will manifest something weak. If he believes that you are trash...then, you will truly be trash!"

    Wu Hui widened his eyes. "What?"

    "I had never heard of such an ability. However, when you lock onto your target, you must let your target believe that you are extremely powerful. With that, you will be extremely powerful; perhaps you will even be unequaled! However, if your target believes that you are trash, believes that your ability is useless, regardless of how many times you try to activate your ability, it will not be effective," Chen Feng said.

    So that¡¯s the case...

    Wu Hui shut his eyes as his heart ached.

    No wonder, no wonder there had been no effect regardless of how many times he had tried his ability in the past!

    The moment he had been publicly acknowledged as trash, the moment his father had started taking him everywhere to test his ability, it had already been predetermined that there would be no results. Since everyone believed that he was trash, who would believe that he had any sort of ability?

    Moreover, he had to aim his ability at someone for his ability to work. Perhaps there was truly someone out there that believed in him. However, his ability would normally be aimed at the puppets or some other targets. Regretfully, his ability would not work when aimed at these objects with no thought process.

    Only when his ability was aimed toward a person who believed that he was a powerful person would his ability be powerful. This was how his ability worked. A mystical ability that had never appeared before.

    That was not all. Even after the target started to believe that he indeed possessed an ability, the prowess of what appeared would still depend on how much the target believed in his power.

    For example, the club created thanks to Chen Feng. Although an item had indeed been materialized by the ability, itsbat power was zero. Another example would be the Energy Equipment. The moment it appeared, it disassembled immediately. This was because Chen Feng knew Wu Hui¡¯s ability too well. Hence, even if he wanted to match his line of thought, the effect of it was still limited.

    In order to materialize the strongest ability, the target had to sincerely believe in his power.

    Wu Hui smiled bitterly. "If so, isn¡¯t this ability still somewhat trashy?"

    "Trashy?" Chen Feng smiled. "Kid, this is the strongest ability. Come, let me demonstrate how terrifying your ability is..."

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Suddenly, the underground tunnel started trembling as countless rocks started copsing.

    A horrified expression appeared on Wu Hui¡¯s face. "They are here!"

    "Steady yourself." Chen Feng nced at him. "Give me a moment."

    Ah?

    Wu Hui nked. Those people would arrive soon; were they not escaping? Since Chen Feng was not escaping, he would not be able to escape either. Fine, let¡¯s die together!

    Wu Hui braced himself for death.

    "Done." Rows of words appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s screen, and Chen Feng coughed. "Mhm... this is what I just wrote down. Memorize it."

    Based on the speed of his hand, typing out those words on his screen was even faster than him saying it out loud. Since they were pressed for time, this was the only thing he could do. As Wu Hui looked at his screen, he was stupefied.

    On it was actually a script. That¡¯s right. On it was a script for a y.

    "This..." Wu Hui was somewhat dumbfounded. He had a vague guess at what Chen Feng was nning. However, he still couldn¡¯t believe it. So Chen Feng was telling him to battle the enemies with this script he had written?

    Chen Feng patted his shoulder and said in a low voice, "Trust me. This is... your only hope! Think of your father¡¯s death, think of your family¡¯s decline, think of how everyonebeled you trash all these years. Think of your anger. Are you really resigned to disappoint your father like this? Kid, this is the only chance I can give you! If this works, from now onward, no one will be your opponent!"

    Bang!

    Wu Hui¡¯s blood boiled.

    From now onward... no one will be his opponent? So his ability was so powerful?

    "My ability..." A me ignited in his heart, and he clenched his fist. "What is the name of my ability?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s faint voice was filled with grandeur. "I gave it a very interesting name... Cosmic Manifestation."

    Cosmic... Manifestation...

    Wu Hui¡¯s blood boiled. So... this was his ability? How tyrannical!

    Chen Feng was his savior and the only person willing to believe in him even during such an impasse. The only person willing to help him, why would he not believe in such a person?

    Finally, Wu Hui made up his mind. Just do it!

    Shua!

    When his eyes once again reopened, this initially timid child was now filled with confidence and arrogance! This was in ordance to the script Chen Feng had written for him.

    "Don¡¯t worry. I will help you..." Chen Feng¡¯s faint voice traveled into his ears. "Not only is this a battle for you, this is also the only hope for us to survive this. Hence, win this battle! You will definitely win!"

    Wu Hui¡¯s eyes were now filled with more confidence. "Yes."

    Right at this instant.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    A bright explosion appeared, and the whole tunnel was sted open. Next, Wu Neng appeared. His cold gaze focused at this ce. "Found you."

    He started leading the others over.

    However, surprising him, that Wu Hui did not choose to escape. Instead, he raised his head and stared at Wu Neng while a sinister yet bizarre smile formed on his face.

    "My dearest old butler... I have been waiting for you."

    That voice sounded so familiar yet alien at the same time.

    Thump.

    Wu Neng¡¯s heart thumped. This tone of voice...

    Chapter 269: Wu Hui¡¯s Battle: Cosmic Manifestation!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the underground tunnel, Wu Neng arrived with several other B-ss gic warriors. Chen Feng and Wu Hui were both trapped there. This was supposed to be Wu Neng¡¯s moment of victory. However, the atmosphere here seemed somewhat wrong.

    Wu Neng narrowed his eyes. "Kid..."

    "Do you think that I am truly trash? No." Wu Hui shook his head before continuing, "From the moment of my birth, I have done too many wrongs. Due to my mother¡¯s bloodline, due to my strength being too powerful, there has simply been too much blood on my hands." Abruptly, Wu Hui asked, "Do you still remember that servant girl when I was three?"

    "Which servant girl?" Wu Neng recalled. Back then, there had indeed been such a servant girl by Wu Hui¡¯s side. Subsequently, she caught the gene necrosis disease and died as a result. This was something everyone in the Wu family knew about.

    "Gene necrosis disease?" Wu Hui shook his head. "You all truly believed that it was a gene necrosis disease? Hahahahaha! I didn¡¯t expect that. Back then, I was merely trying to show off some of my ability to her. In the process, I identally got her killed."

    ??

    Wu Neng and the rest were stupefied.

    Damn! So that was what happened? How melodramatic! Is this for real?

    Next, Wu Hui disyed a sad emotion as he shut his eyes. "To seal my ability, to not expose my mother¡¯s ability, father did everything he could! In order to seal my ability! Hahaha!"

    "Father did not permit me to fuse with any sort of gic ability, and he proimed failure to outsiders for any gene I fused with. The only reason he allowed me to break through my limit without stop was in order to help me obtain better control over this ability of mine." Wu Hui stared at his right hand, pain on his face. "Unfortunately... a day still came where my father died for me, yet I couldn¡¯t do anything to help." He startedughing wildly. "Hahahahaha."

    Wu Neng¡¯s group was deeply startled.

    Is this for real? If everything he said is true...

    Wu Neng inhaled deeply. "Be careful."

    This was already the final moment of his mission. He could not allow anything to go wrong.

    He signaled his group members and ordered them to quietly surround Wu Hui. Regardless of whether the things he said were true or not, he could not be allowed to escape.

    During the time when Wu Hui was talking nonsense, they had been summoning more reinforcements over. On top of that, Wu Neng was also trying to gain further understanding of this kid he had watched since from infancy. Did he truly possess such a powerful ability? This trash-like fellow?

    "I am truly unresigned," Wu Hui muttered.

    Hum¡ª

    A familiar radiance started flickering.

    Wu Neng widened his eyes. He was way too familiar with this radiance. This was Wu Hui¡¯s ability!

    In his memories, every time Wu Hui disyed this ability, nothing would happen. However, if what he said earlier was the truth...

    Bang!

    A resplendent radiance started surging out.

    Around Wu Hui¡¯s body, a terrifying and imposing Energy Equipment materialized.

    The power it was emitting had reached B ss!

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone inhaled a mouthful of cold breath.

    They were not shocked because of the strength. To be frank, a single B ss wasn¡¯t too big a deal for them. What shocked them was Wu Hui¡¯s age.

    How old was he? On top of that, there was also that scheming mind of his! This kid seemed to have concealed his strength all this while?

    Wu Neng was shocked. "For you to actually possess such power." Damn! If he¡¯d known earlier that Wu Hui had such power... Wu Neng frowned. "Since you have such power, why did you ask us toe here with you? Couldn¡¯t you deal with this mission easily by yourself?"

    "Hehehehehe. What do you think?" A cruel smile appeared on Wu Hui¡¯s face. "It has been 10 whole years... From the moment I was capable of thought, I suffered all sorts of insults from you guys. Normally, father would tell me to respect you all... However, after father¡¯s death, I was able to see clearly exactly what type of people all of you are. Hehe. It¡¯s about time for me to deal with certain things. With great difficulty, I finally managed to lure all of you here, mhm..." Wu Hui nted his head as he finished his words. "This is perfect."

    "!!!"

    The hearts of Wu Neng¡¯s group thumped furiously.

    Lunatic! This is simply a lunatic!

    So all these years, Wu Yaotian wasn¡¯t helping his frail son break through the limit. Rather, he was holding this lunatic son of his back.

    Damn it!

    Wu Neng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "A mere B ss..."

    Since that¡¯s the case, I can only kill you.

    "Prepare!"

    They prepared to attack. They refused to believe that a single Wu Hui would be too overpowered.

    "Hehehehehe." As a response, Wu Hui merelyughed coldly. "Do you truly believe that I, as the possessor of my mother¡¯s cosmic bloodline, would have a B ss that is equivalent in strength to an ordinary B ss? How naive... Perhaps it¡¯s about time for you guys to witness my true strength."

    Light started swirling in Wu Hui¡¯s hands.

    Hum¡ª

    The B-ss Energy Equipment earlier had already disappeared. However, this time, an even more horrifying radiance appeared around Wu Hui¡¯s body before it soared and pierced straight up to the heavens.

    Bang!

    The radiance appeared so terrifying, akin to the pressure of a dragon¡¯s roar from the ninth heaven, that it sted away Chen Feng, who was beside him.

    "You..." Chen Feng retreated with a horrified expression on his face. At the same time, his right hand was noiselessly hidden away.

    In truth, when Wu Hui had been talking earlier, although his ability appeared to have been aimed at Wu Neng, it had actually been aimed at Chen Feng all the while. This was the only way in which they could join hands to create this special effect. Even if this radiance here they had created was with zerobat power, despite how tyrannical it appeared.

    "Wu Neng. To show appreciation for your contributions to the Wu family all these years, I will onlyunch a single attack toward you. If you are able to block it, I will consider our grudge settled," Wu Hui said indifferently.

    Next, he raised his hand. The radiance around him started swirling as light particles started condensing in his hands. An extremely terrifying pitch-ck sword appeared in his hand.

    "My ability is called Cosmic Manifestation. This is the first form of Cosmic Manifestation: Divine Infernal Sword! This is the ability left to me by my mother¡¯s blood, a power inherited through bloodline."

    Wu Hui started stepping forward.

    Hum¡ª

    The radiance condensed without stop.

    "This is a sword with only one attribute." Wu Hui added, "The single attribute being the ability to cut everything in existence. Back then, there was an asion where an A-ss gic warrior offended the Wu family. Our Wu family was almost destroyed back then. Subsequently, I was the one who killed him off secretly." Wu Hui muttered, "Mhm... you guys have probably forgotten about it."

    Shua!

    At this point, Wu Neng and his group were already perspiring all over as their scalps felt numb.

    A ss... Killing A ss...Wu Hui was so powerful?!

    A sinister smile appeared on Wu Hui¡¯s face. "Goodbye."

    Shua!

    At this instant, all the radiance swirling around him concentrated together and locked onto Wu Neng.

    Bang!

    The radiance in Wu Hui¡¯s hands surged forth.

    "Cut!" Wu Hui barked coldly.

    "Careful!" Wu Neng was now extremely agitated, as he had finally recalled what Wu Hui had said. Back then, there had indeed been one time where the Wu family had faced an extremely terrifying crisis. Subsequently, the crisis had vanished with no apparent reason. He had initially believed that it had been resolved after Wu Yaotian had requested help with his identity as a master producer. Now, though... It was actually Wu Hui?

    Damn! What freak is this! If this is the truth, I can¡¯t face him head on!

    Subconsciously, Wu Neng started bing terrified of Wu Hui.

    He ordered one of the gic warriors there to block in front of him. "Block it for me!"

    At the same instant, Wu Hui¡¯s ability bloomed. Everyone watched on nervously, Wu Neng, Chen Feng, and even Wu Hui himself included.

    This time... would it truly appear?

    Hum¡ª

    The air trembled.

    On the distant horizon, pitch-ck aura gushed out unceasingly before a terrifying ck sword appeared, the sword that had seemingly pierced through the horizon, breaking through space itself to reach this ce.

    Wu Neng¡¯s expression changed greatly. "Not good!"

    This thing here actually looked exactly the same as he had imagined! Something capable of killing an A ss...

    "Retreat!" he shouted. However, it was toote.

    Shua!

    The Divine Infernal Sword streaked forth, and the gic warrior in front of Wu Neng, the ex-member of the Wu household, was shed into two.

    Pu!

    Blood sttered around.

    The back of everyone that witnessed this chilled.

    It was true! It was actually true! That Wu family trash was actually a freak!

    "Run! Run!"

    Everyone started fleeing frantically.

    Wu Hui stood there loftily as he nced at those escaping silhouettes. That skinny body of his appeared so very awe-inspiring beneath the ck radiance that had enveloped the whole skyline. The huge amount of ck radiance covering the sky was the power unleashed by the Divine Infernal Sword.

    The moment this sword had been summoned into existence, the result of this battle had already been set in stone.

    "Time to end this," Wu Hui said calmly.

    Chapter 270: No Mercy

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Cosmic Manifestation, second form: Demonic Asura Hatchet!" Wu Hui¡¯s cold voice echoed. "In my possession is also a hatchet originating from the Asura Domain. Apanying this hatchet is the power to corrode the universe and the might to crush mountains. Every single hack of this hatchet will disintegrate space itself. The instant the Demonic Asura Hatchet is unleashed, it will not return without first tasting blood."

    Shua!

    At that instant, everyone started picturing the scene depicted by Wu Hui in their brain.

    A blood-red battlefield of the Asura, a single hatchet destroying the heaven and Earth, capable of everything. Even A-ss warriors would be killed, undefeated under the heavens.

    Hum¡ª

    Wu Hui¡¯s hands started shining as the ability was once again activated.

    Bang!

    The darkness that was enveloping the sky vanished. Next, a blood-red radiance flickered before a huge hatchet appeared midair. It was much more terrifying and stronger than even Wu Hui¡¯s own imaginings.

    Shua!

    The Demonic Asura Hatchet hacked forth.

    With a single attack, countless people were killed or injured.

    Those terrifying and formidable B-ss gic warriors were all chopped down like paper. This scene reminded Chen Feng of a game from his previous life: Dynasty Warriors.

    Those were all B-ss warriors, formidable gic warriors that Wu Hui was chopping down like paper.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Howls of grief reverberated in the air.

    Even Chen Feng, as a spectator, felt horrified by this scene he was witnessing. As such, one could imagine how those targets of this hell unleashed by Wu Hui were feeling.

    "Wu Hui, I was wrong!"

    "We shouldn¡¯t have left the Wu family. Please, let us off."

    "We are wrong!"

    "I will do anything you ask. Please let me go..."

    Some of them had even given up on escaping. Instead, they knelt down and started begging.

    Instinctively, Wu Hui nced at Chen Feng, pity in his eyes. He was, after all, still a child. As such, after some begging, he started hesitating.

    Chen Feng merely indifferently reminded him, "Take note of the character you are ying."

    The character he had designed for Wu Hui was a character that would not allow any hesitation. Wu Hui¡¯s ability was somewhat unique. Only by assuming a unique character and setting would others be convinced, allowing him to unleash the most terrifying power.

    Hence... any hesitation was not allowed.

    Wu Hui shut his eyes. "I understand."

    Despite his youth, he was not stupid. The moment he¡¯d chosen to thread this path, there had no been turning back.

    He snorted. "Hmph."

    "Cosmic Manifestation, third form: Abyss Lance! Abyss Lance is ance summoned from the deepest abyss. Every single one possesses the power capable of destroying the heaven and Earth, capable of piercing through all defenses, piercing straight into the enemy¡¯s heart. Imagine this, what if a huge amount of them appeared and start raining down like a meteor shower? Ah... are you not excited at the prospect of that?"

    A devilish smile bloomed on Wu Hui¡¯s face.

    That¡¯s right, a devilish smile.

    This was what Chen Feng had requested of him. After wracking his brain, Wu Hui still could not understand what a devilish smile meant. However, at the very least, he had now met the standard set by Chen Feng.

    Shua!

    After that devilish smile appeared on his face, everyone else was horrified. At the same time, they started picturing what Wu Hui had just depicted to them.

    Hum¡ª

    Wu Hui unleashed his ability.

    Bang!

    Once again, heaven and Earth were enveloped by darkness.

    In the sky, countless cracks appeared in midair. Next, numerous Abyss Lances pierced through space and started raining down from the sky, akin to a meteor shower, as the whole area started being bombarded.

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    Lances rained without stop.

    Pu!

    Pu!

    Pu!

    Countless people were prated by thences.

    Dead!

    Dead!

    Nearly all the ex-Wu family members were killed in this attack. On each of their faces was remorse. They deeply regretted their actions. If they had known earlier that Wu Hui was this powerful, would there have been a need for them to betray the family?

    If only...

    On their faces was nothing but remorse.

    The few remaining survivors were all trembling with cold sweat all over their body. Among them, Wu Neng was included. He was the strongest person among them and had others as his cannon fodder. As such, he had survived till now.

    "Wu Hui, I was wrong..." Wu Neng¡¯s cheeks were streaming with tears. "Can you spare this old life of mine in consideration of the years I spent in the Wu family¡¯s service as a butler? I will use my remaining life to make up for my mistake!"

    Wu Hui merelyughed coldly. "Hehe."

    Shua!

    Once again, his hand stretched out, aimed at Wu Neng.

    At this, everyone¡¯s heart thumped. Since they¡¯d met him here, he had only waved his hand three times. Every single instance of the three waves, a different ability had been unleashed.

    His first form was the Divine Infernal Sword. The second form was the Demonic Asura Hatchet, while the third form was the Abyss Lance. Every single form of the Cosmic Manifestation was incredibly terrifying.

    All these were powers that were supposed to only belong to A-ss warriors.

    Wu Hui was simply akin to an A-ss warrior!

    "Please, spare me!" Wu Neng started kowtowing. He did not even have to courage to flee.

    From the moment the Divine Infernal Sword had appeared, when he¡¯d seen clearly that Wu Hui¡¯s strength was actually at A ss, he knew that trying to escape was simply pointless. He wouldn¡¯t be able to make it. However, Wu Hui merely continued staring at him coldly.

    In fact, he was not a person who enjoyed killing. However, as Chen Feng had told him, with this ability of his, this was the only way he could carry himself, to let others knew the horror of Wu Hui.

    Only by acting this way would he be able to disy true strength! To no longer be so powerless!

    He raised his hand. "Goodbye."

    However, at this moment, a faint voice resounded. "Little brother, how about giving me face?"

    Shua!

    Light swirled around as numerous silhouettes appeared around them.

    This was the third party brought here by Wu Neng. They had finally arrived.

    Wu Neng hid behind them in a sorry manner. "Save me."

    Wu Hui ignored him as his gazended on the middle-aged man that was the leader of the newly appeared group. The current Wu Hui, who had materialized countless power from his ability, was finally strong enough to see clearly the strength of this person.

    A ss! No wonder he could lead so many B-ss gic warriors. No wonder they still dared toe here even after witnessing Wu Hui¡¯s power. The leader of this group was actually an A-ss gic warrior.

    "You are going to save him?" Wu Hui asked calmly.

    His tone of voice was extremely serene. However, that calm expression of his amidst the corpses littered all around him and the blood sttered everywhere gave off an iparable chilling feeling to onlookers.

    This guy...

    "Please do consider giving me face," the middle-aged man said calmly.

    Since they were both at A ss, he was not afraid of Wu Hui.

    Wu Hui sneered. "Your face is of little value. I haven¡¯t really met many A-ss warriors before. However, I have indeed killed a few of them. If you insist on rescuing him, I don¡¯t mind killing you as well," Wu Hui said with a cruel smile on his face. "Naturally, even if I fail to kill you..." Wu Hui¡¯s sinister gazended on the group of people behind him. "At the very least, all those people behind you will die. Including that person you brought here for limit breakthrough."

    Wu Hui gaze started scanning through the crowd behind the A-ss warrior. "Mhm... I presume he is quite the important person, since he is capable of making an A-ss warrior like you work for him, right?"

    The middle-aged man was furious. "Don¡¯t push it!"

    He had never imagined that, even after his identity was an A-ss gic warrior was made known, this opponent would still be so absolutely unrestrained. Trash Wu Hui, eh...

    He recalled the introduction Wu Neng had given him before.

    Timid, gutless, and terrified of everything. That seemed like a joke now. This guy was simply unimaginably cold blooded.

    A person behind him pulled at his sleeve. "Second uncle, let¡¯s just leave."

    It was simply not worth it to exchange all their lives for a single Wu Neng. If their opponent was a normal A ss, naturally, the opponent would be somewhat afraid of the consequences of offending them. But presently, what they faced was this Wu Hui, a lunatic.

    The middle-aged man gave Wu Hui a deep stare. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that his nephew was here with him today...

    He gave the order to withdraw. "Leave."

    This...

    Wu Neng watched all this with an unbelieving expression. He had never imagined that Wu Hui, this kid, would be able to force a powerful A-ss gic warrior and one whole group of gic warriors away all by himself.

    Wu Neng was terrified. "No... don¡¯t abandon me."

    However, right at this moment.

    "Cosmic Manifestation, first form: Divine Infernal Sword."

    Bang!

    A huge pitch-ck sword streaked downward from the sky, piercing through heaven and Earth.

    Pu!

    Wu Neng was nailed on the spot he stood on.

    Due to Wu Neng¡¯s fear toward Wu Hui and the Cosmic Manifestation, the current Divine Infernal Sword was even more powerful than when it had appeared previously.

    The middle-aged man that had just left stopped his steps. He turned around and gave the pitch-ck sword a look with rm in his heart.

    The previous attacks were actually not Wu Hui¡¯s maximum power? Such power... The middle aged man smiled bitterly. The kids nowadays are so terrifying?

    At the grasnd, heaven and Earth seemed to join, forming a picture. Within the picture, corpses were sprawled everywhere, with rivers of blood, a huge sword emitting a terrifying power, and the tiny Wu Hui centering everything, akin to a demonic god.

    Victory. Chen Feng exhaled in relief as he looked at the departing figure of that middle-aged man.

    "Are they gone?"Wu Hui¡¯s feet weakened, and he almost slumped down onto the ground. Chen Feng rushed forth to hold him up. He had only unleashed several attacks earlier, but the cost he¡¯d paid to battle those of higher sses than him was quite huge.

    All the energy Wu Hui had on him was already overdrafted. If he¡¯d truly had to battle that A-ss warrior, he could only put his life on the line.

    "Let¡¯s go," Chen Feng said.

    "Mhm," Wu Hui answered meekly.

    Without their enemies around, he seemed to have reverted to his previous attitude.

    "Remember, your ability is something you can¡¯t tell anyone about. The fewer people that are aware of how your ability works, the stronger you will be. If everyone knows about your ability, you will most probably be true trash. Do you understand?" Chen Feng had a solemn expression as he said this.

    Wu Hui nodded resolutely. "Mhm."

    He was too clear on how precious what Chen Feng had given him was.

    Shua!

    They left speedily.

    This was not a ce they should stay long. Since those gic warriors had already left, they should leave as soon as possible as well. However, just as they stood up... distantly, a bizarre radiance bloomed suddenly from the direction facing the entrance of the Qinghe Grasnd.

    Hum¡ª

    Instantly, the whole world started turning gray.

    Wu Hui was rmed. "What¡¯s that?"

    Distantly, the areas enveloped by the radiance were all turning a gray color. Furthermore, it was spreading at an extremely high speed, rushing toward this direction.

    Shua!

    The green grasnd was turning gray speedily. Not only the grasnd, the air, other vegetations, and everything one could see were turning a gray color.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart thumped. "Something is happening."

    In front of them, several silhouettes appeared. They were the gic squad that had just left not long ago. Evidently, they were all shocked by what happened and were escaping toward this direction as well.

    "Go!" Chen Feng did not hesitate. He dragged Wu Hui and started escaping. What joke was that? Even that A-ss gic warrior was running from the gray radiance; what could they achieve by staying here?

    Shua!

    The radiance kept spreading.

    Everyone was escaping frantically. However, could they outrun it?

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Apanied by a sh of light, countless people vanished instantly.

    "Damn it!" Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. The speed was too fast! If this continued, they stood no chance of escaping! Luck value?

    Chen Feng tried activating his Luck Aura. However, it didn¡¯t work. Regardless of how Chen Feng urged it to work, Luck Aura did not give him any feedback.

    As of now, the radiance was nearing him. That A-ss warrior was running hastily with his nephew. However, could they escape it?

    Chen Feng clenched his teeth. "This can¡¯t continue!"

    In the midst of running, he saw a pit not far away.

    Perhaps...

    Whoosh!

    He leaped into the pit with Wu Hui.

    Seal!

    A session of Wind de was unleashed, sealing the entrance to the pit.

    Purple submarine!

    To be safe, Chen Feng even summoned the purple submarine he¡¯d used at the frozen sea, as this submarine possessed an extremely powerful energy-blocking ability.

    ng!

    Done. Chen Feng and Wu Hui even stopped breathing just to be safe.

    Facing this crisis, he had done all he could. As for the rest, he could only submit to the will of the heavens. That bizarre radiance reached them noiselessly.

    Hum¡ª

    A bizarre radiance emerged.

    Here ites!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart thumped.

    He could clearly see how that radiance seemed to ignore the terrain there, ignored the purple submarine, ignored everything and gushed toward him and Wu Hui directly.

    It¡¯s over!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled.

    Hands... arms... everything was turning gray at an inconceivable speed.

    However, right at this instant, on that figurine he¡¯d obtained from the frozen sea, on the body of that mysterious youngdy, a gust of radiance abruptly bloomed. Noiselessly, it started spreading. Next, the invading bizarre radiance paused before stoppingpletely.

    After a short while, the radiance took a detour around Chen Feng and Wu Hui before continuing to spread elsewhere.

    Saved?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted wildly.

    This thing...

    Chen Feng took out the figurine. For unknown reason, this figurine of a youngdy with a miniskirt appeared even more lifelike at this moment. It was giving Chen Feng an extremely lifelike feeling!

    Is this really an ordinary figurine? Ten years ago... Gou Li¡¯s squad that was hunted... those people that were killed because of this figurine...

    Chen Feng was inwardly amazed. "What are you, exactly?"

    Unfortunately, no one could answer his questions.

    The radiance continued spreading while he and Wu Hui continued hiding underground.

    After an unknown period of time, when the figurine finally reverted to its usual appearance and the radiance around them disappeared, Chen Feng and Wu Hui exhaled in relief.

    They had survived this by fluke!

    "Let¡¯s go."

    Carefully, Chen Feng left the pit.

    If that radiance truly possessed the power to destroy everything, everything outside should have been destroyed by now. However, when Chen Feng left the pit, he was stunned.

    Out there, everything was now gray in color. The whole Qinghe Grasnd had turned gray. Apart from gray, there was also white, ck, and weird mixtures of gray, ck, and white.

    It was like a scene out of some old ck-and-white film.

    At this instant, Chen Feng felt like he had gone back in time and entered one of those ck-and-white film.

    Chen Feng was stunned. "What exactly is going on?"

    ck and white... Everything was ck and white...

    The grass on the ground, the fruit on the tree, the soil...

    What had happened here?

    Is this the effect of that radiance? Radiation? Or some unknown powerful ability?

    Chen Feng sunk into a solemn mood. This was truly a world where everything was possible. Even if one were to hide in one¡¯s home, a meteor might fall on your house from the sky. Hence...

    "Go!"

    He left speedily with Wu Hui.

    Regardless of what had happened here, since this had happened to the whole Qinghe Grasnd, they had to leave as soon as possible. Soon, they reached the entrance of the Qinghe Grasnd. It could be seen that outside the grasnd was still a multicolored world like before.

    Chen Feng exhaled in relief. "Seems like this only happened to the grasnd."

    Go!

    Shua!

    Taking Wu Hui with him, he walked out.

    Hum¡ª

    A bizarre undtion appeared.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng and Wu Hui were bounced back into the grasnd.

    What¡¯s going on?

    Chen Feng was shocked. They couldn¡¯t leave!

    Currently, someone from the outside world was stepping into the Qinghe Grasnd. Chen Feng stared nkly as the neer was right in front of him yet ignored him and stepped over the entrance into the grasnd directly.

    Next... just as the neer stepped through the entrance, the neer disappeared.

    There were also several groups that had entered the entrance before disappearing. Chen Feng had initially believed that those who¡¯d entered were all dead. However, some of the neers had decided to return to the camp to buy something after entering. Hence, those people stepped out of the grasnd and once again appeared in front of Chen Feng once they passed through the entrance and arrived outside.

    They were all talking andughing to each other casually, seemingly not affected by what had happened here at all.

    In other words, these people had not realized what had happened here.

    How is that possible?

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. Apart from that, it was evident that the neers could not see him or anything here either. This almost felt like they were both located in two different dimensions.

    Wait.

    Chen Feng abruptly realized something.

    Could it be that the radiance earlier transformed space and time itself? What ce is this?

 Chapter 272: Different Style and Canâ€™t Get Along

    Chapter 272: Different Style and Can¡¯t Get Along

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng and Wu Hui were carefully traveling within the Qinghe Grasnd. Currently, they were behaving the same way they had when they¡¯d first entered the grasnd, advancing cautiously. This was because they had noticed that the whole Qinghe Grasnd seemed to have changed. It was still the same ce, but everything else was different.

    That mysterious pit that had appeared in the ground...

    The weeds that were one meter tall...

    At first, they had believed that these were merely aftereffects of the radiance earlier. However, now that they paid more attention and observed them, they found that these things werepletely different than before.

    Not only the length or size of the things, even the species had changed. For example, a certain random bush of weeds somewhere turned into a bush of mysterious icy scarlet flowers, a nt that was supposed to only appear after a hundred years of utmost care. There was definitely a problem somewhere.

    The scariest part was Wu Yaotian¡¯s boulder formation. There, the formation was already nowhere to be seen. Instead, what appeared there was an imposing pce that appeared shiny and glorious.

    "How did this happen?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped furiously. He could feel how imposing this pce was. Perhaps everything that had happened here was rted to that pce.

    Could it be that the boulder formation of Wu Yaotian¡¯s had triggered some sort of mysterious yet formidable power?

    If that was the case...

    Suddenly, some silhouettes appeared in the distance.

    Chen Feng pressed Wu Hui down as they lied low in the bush. "Careful."

    Distantly, a group of soldiers were patrolling in an orderly fashion, solemn expressions on their faces.

    "They are patrolling," Wu Hui whispered.

    Chen Feng was rmed. "Mhm."

    Patrolling... Where had these peoplee from? Had they truly entered a different space-time continuum earlier? What damnable ce was this?

    An illusion?

    Unlikely.

    A different dimension?

    That did not seem too likely. He had obviously seen some neers when at the entrance earlier.

    This feeling, it was like two groups of people inside and outside a TV.

    Wait...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng understood. Their current situation resembled someone who had been trapped inside some ck-and-white TV. However, the difference was that they were actually trapped in an independent space. This was the power of space, a power simr to that unique power of space he had encountered previously.

    However, for this particr space, the rules of this space dictated that the world would be a gray-colored world.

    This was Chen Feng¡¯s guess.

    Chen Feng frowned. "If so, these soldiers... these people... are all fake?"

    After observing the pce for a short while, Chen Feng decided to leave with Wu Hui. "Let¡¯s check out the other ces. At the very least, we need to get a clear understanding of this ce first."

    Wu Hui nodded. "Mhm."

    They left speedily and started exploring the whole Qinghe Grasnd.

    However, when they reached the depths of the grasnd, they stopped their steps. There, they saw an acquaintance.

    That¡¯s right, an acquaintance. It was the strongest person from the squad they¡¯d met earlier, the A-ss gic warrior.

    He noticed them as well. "It¡¯s you!"

    "What happened here?"

    Instantly, Wu Hui recovered his cool disposition and Chen Feng retreated backward cautiously.

    "I don¡¯t know." The middle-aged man shook his head lightly. Shortly after, his expression became cold and detached. "This is a question that I should be asking you guys."

    Wu Hui raised his eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

    "This ce... When everyone else turned ck and white, how did the both of you..." The middle-aged man¡¯s gazended on Wu Hui and Chen Feng¡¯s skin. "Although your clothes are ck and white, your skin is still the same!"

    Mhm?

    Chen Feng and Wu Hui¡¯s hearts leaped. They studied the middle-aged man and noticed that what he¡¯d said was true. This middle-aged man was now ck and white! As for the both of them...

    It was the figurine!

    Instantly, Chen Feng guessed the truth.

    They¡¯d initially believed that the radiance would kill those it touched. Unexpectedly, it merely changed everyone¡¯s color. A mysterious yet bizarre ability.

    As for Chen Feng and Wu Hui, the protection the figurine had allotted them instead brought them trouble now.

    At least, in this ck-and-white world, being the only person of color was an extremely scary proposition.

    An ominous glint flickered in the middle-aged man¡¯s eyes. "You..."

    Wu Hui¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly as well. "Don¡¯t court death."

    The middle-aged man merely sneered. "Hehe. Do you think that I am afraid of you? We are both A ss. I have been dominating wherever I go for so many years, why would I be afraid of a new A ss like you? Since my nephew is not around and I am alone, let me teach you what a true A ss looks like!"

    Bang!

    He moved.

    Hum¡ª

    A boundless energy started gushing out.

    It did not appear too obvious in this ck-and-white world, however...

    Bang!

    The middle-aged man¡¯s body vanished and reappeared before turning into countless afterimages that charged toward Wu Hui. Wu Hui, who was in fact only D ss, didn¡¯t even have the chance to react to all this.

    Pu!

    Instantly, Wu Hui was flung away.

    Blood sttered around. The blood was actually red in color! In this ck-and-white world, it appeared incredibly dazzling.

    The most terrifying part of it was the fact that, when the bloodnded on the ground, the ck and white weeds on the ground recovered their original color.

    Green! They recovered their color!

    "Your strength..." The middle-aged man frowned for a bit before he understood what was going on. "So that¡¯s the case. Although you seemed to have reached A ss previously, you probably used some methods to reach A ss forcefully, right? Hehe, after unleashing those attacks earlier, how much of your strength do you have left?"

    Wu Hui¡¯s expression changed. This guy had indeed guessed correctly. Cosmic Manifestation was not an omnipotent ability. Its feat of pushing the D-ss him into A-ss to kill countless people was already miraculous. Now, his strength was almost exhausted. Coupled with the formidable strength of this enemy, what could he do? He couldn¡¯t even react to the enemy on time.

    A single A-ss gic warrior was almost unequaled here.

    The middle-aged man eyed Chen Feng and Wu Hui greedily. "After killing you... I might be able to recover."

    On the ground, the color reinstated by Wu Hui¡¯s blood was clear for him to see.

    The color of Wu Hui and Chen Feng¡¯s skin was merely the color of regr skin. As such, they weren¡¯t particrly conspicuous in this ck-and-white world. However, those weeds appeared incredibly bright in contrast to the ck-and-white world.

    "Bang!"

    Once again, that middle-aged man raged.

    "Kill!"

    Light swirled around before condensing into an energy sword that he held in his hand.

    Hum¡ª

    With a sh of ck-and-white radiance, that formidable and imposing sword shed toward Wu Hui.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart thumped. "Careful!"

    Shua!

    Light started swirling.

    Instinctively, he unleashed his Myriad Illusionary Wind des.

    Bang!

    Countless Wind des surged forth.

    At the instant these Wind des erupted, Chen Feng¡¯s widened his eyes abruptly. In front of him, the middle-aged man was stunned as well. He was staring nkly at Chen Feng¡¯s Wind des, staring at the des as they collided with his attack.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    An intense sound of explosion resounded at the collision. A terrifying shockwave engulfed the vicinity, and both Chen Feng and the middle-aged man took a step backward.

    That¡¯s right, they both took a step backward. Chen Feng had actually blocked the middle-aged man¡¯s attack.

    The middle-aged man stared at Chen Feng in shock. "You..."

    "???"

    Chen Feng was lost as well.

    I blocked it? This...

    Next, Chen Feng gulped before an overjoyed expression appeared on his face. He found that, when his Wind des had erupted earlier, something astonishing that everyone had neglected had happened.

    For both him and Wu Hui, not only their body was with color. Their blood retained its color, and even their energy and attacks retained their color. Earlier, at the moment his multicolored Wind des had erupted, the colorful Wind des had erupted with an extremely terrifying power.

    Chen Feng¡¯s initial strongest power would only enable him to challenge those at C ss. Surprisingly, he had now sessfully blocked the attack of an A-ss expert.

    Chen Feng was akin to a multicolored LCD screen, up against the middle-aged man that was akin to an old ck and white TV. Regardless of how powerful that middle-aged man was, Chen Feng did not have the slightest trace of fear, because here at this ce, color itself contained power!

    Chapter 273: Do You Want to Leave?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    This is...

    Wu Hui was dumbfounded. The reason for that was the fact that what he was currently witnessing waspletely a confrontation of two different styles.

    Have you ever seen a battle between Madoka of Madoka Magica and Kurosaki Ichigo?

    Have you ever seen a battle between Ultraman and the Pirate King?

    Mhm...

    What Wu Hui was witnessing was something simr.

    In this bizarre world, Chen Feng seemed to possess an astonishing amount of power.

    A cruel smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "Then..."

    Ka!

    Ka!

    Countless dazzling, surging energy appeared, and once again, Chen Feng assembled his Energy Equipment. However, different from his past Energy Equipments, his current Energy Equipment was extremely colorful and much more powerful.

    Hence...

    Shua!

    A shiny Energy Equipment came into existence in this ck-and-white world. The colors of the lighting on the Energy Equipment were constantly changing, as this Energy Equipment seemed to contain a countless amount of colors. Every single one of these colors represented a mysterious yet formidable power. This was the power of color!

    "Hmph."

    The middle-aged man snorted.

    He refused to believe that an A ss like him would not be able to defeat a D ss like Chen Feng.

    "Bang!"

    He punched out, unleashing a powerful secret art of his.

    Chen Feng had no fear. "Come!"

    Shua!

    He streaked forth with his shiny Energy Equipment.

    Bang!

    Their fists collided.

    Pu!

    One silhouette was flung backward.

    Once Wu Hui get a clear look, he was immediately stunned. The person flung out was actually the A-ss warrior. As for Chen Feng, he had suffered zero injuries.

    This...

    Wu Hui nked.

    That was an A ss, a ss that was traditionally the peak of existence.

    Chen Feng sneered. "Is A ss really so powerful?"

    Bang!

    Another punch wasunched.

    This great A-ss warrior here was used to scrape the floor by Chen Feng.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Punch after punch rained down on him. Instantly, the middle-aged man was covered in bruises.

    The Energy Equipment of myriad colors had erupted with an rming power. In this ck-and-white world, color itself was the strongest of powers.

    "Chen Feng, don¡¯t push it!" the middle-aged man bellowed.

    Bang!

    As a response, Chen Feng gave him another punch, sting him to the ground.

    Pu!

    Suddenly, a ck mist flickered into existence.

    However, when Chen Feng studied it, he discovered that it was not a ck mist. Instead, that was a mist of blood sttered out of the middle-aged man¡¯s body. Since there was no color in this world, the blood was ck.

    Shua!

    The middle-aged man disappeared amidst the ck mist. He was, after all, an A-ss warrior. The amount of escaping methods he had at his disposal were higher than they could imagine.

    "You are lucky to be fast at escaping," Chen Feng said indifferently.

    Wu Hui cautiously asked, "...Wasn¡¯t that... somewhat too cruel to him?"

    That was, after all, an A-ss warrior. If one beat him up too much in here, things would probably be bad when they finally left this world.

    "If so, we just have to ensure that he won¡¯t get any chances to leave this ce," Chen Feng replied with a calm expression.

    What joke was that?

    If this unexpected thing hadn¡¯t happened, the both of them would have probably been killed by that middle-aged man. He was nning to use their blood to restore his color.

    In such a circumstance, it was either life or death.

    Wu Hui was quite good in all aspects, but his heart was too soft.

    Chen Feng looked at Wu Hui as he thought this.

    Mhm... seems like he needs further guidance.

    As of now, they had both understood their true strength in this world. Not only Chen Feng, even Wu Hui became iparably powerful here after he recovered his strength. Granted, the amount of color he could summon wasn¡¯tparable to Chen Feng, but he was still extremely powerful here.

    In this world, they both were truly powerful.

    Chen Feng was extremely spirited. "Very good. Now, it¡¯s time for us to take at good look at what kind of ce this is, exactly."

    Not long after, the entirety of the Qinghe Grasnd was explored by them. Their initial conclusion was that everyone that had been covered by that wave of radiance earlier had been sent into this world. The only difference between those people and them was the color on their body that had changed into ck and white for some unknown reason.

    The vegetation here had also changed.

    This ce appeared more like an independent space from the outside world. To be precise, this was a space reconstructed with Qinghe Grasnd as the foundation.

    "I have heard of such methods before," Wu Hui said.

    The so-called space reconstruction was a situation that would arise when the space avable was too huge or when the person himself did not possess space-construction-rted abilities. As such, an actual space in the real world would be used as an anchor to construct an independent space.

    For example, this Qinghe Grasnd they were currently in.

    Under normal circumstances, those who did this would be using some rooms or some tunnels as the blueprint for space reconstruction. This was the first time they had ever seen a huge ce like the Qinghe Grasnd being used as the blueprint.

    This was too terrifying!

    What kind of person was it that was capable of constructing something so big? If it was a space reconstruction, it was a space constructed with a real world as the blueprint, but it was still an astonishing feat.

    Was it an A ss? Or stronger? What was the reason for the construction of this space? The answers for these questions were unknown.

    However, based on Chen Feng¡¯s deduction, it was very possible that they had both identally gotten themselves involved in the progress of some expert¡¯s project. In this project, people like them were normally categorized as cannon fodder. Presently, only the first step of the project had unfolded.

    For the next step, something major might happen.

    "I must figure it out as soon as possible." Chen Feng was anxious. Regardless of how powerful color was in this world, he still had to figure out what was going to happen here, or they would most probably end up dying here.

    The project of a super expert like this would be extremely terrifying. Chen Feng had no ns of having a taste of that.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Is this the Mysterious Organization again?"

    As far as he recalled, that was the only organization with all sorts of such bizarre projects. Each of those projects was capable of threatening the whole world, an extremely terrifying collection of projects.

    Wu Hui was at a loss. "How should we proceed in our investigations?"

    Chen Feng pointed at the center of the grasnd. "That pce."

    That would be the focus for them to solve this problem. In this huge Qinghe Grasnd, that was the only ce where people indigenous of this world existed. That was also the only ce that contained those bizarre patrols and the mysterious power.

    Wu Hui was somewhat anxious. "We might not be able to defeat them."

    Chen Feng was originally at D ss. After being boosted by his colorful Energy Equipment, he had temporarily reached peak A ss in this world. Wu Hui was originally at D ss. After boosting himself with the power of color, he reached B ss. However, the boost he received was unstable, so his true power was still unknown.

    As for their enemies, even those patrols were at peak B ss. What about the residents inside the pce? Neither of them knew the answer.

    From the energy dispersed around the pce alone, it was apparent how terrifying a ce that was. If Wu Hui were to enter, he would most probably be cannon fodder there. However, if Chen Feng were to enter alone, it would be extremely dangerous as well.

    "Who says there are only two of us?" Chen Feng said calmly.

    Wu Hui raised his head with a nk look. "Ah?"

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "There are others that are even more anxious to leave this ce than us." Earlier, when that guy had fled them, Chen Feng had nted something on his body. This wasn¡¯t a particrly difficult feat for Chen Feng with his Myriad Illusions ability. Normally, this was something Chen Feng wouldn¡¯t have had the guts to do, but in this world...

    Hehe.

    Tracing his marker nted on the guy, Chen Feng was able to find him shortly. There, a group of ck people were crowded together, currently in discussion about something.

    Chen Feng greeted them with a bright smile on his face. "Hello, everyone."

    "Chen Feng?!" The middle-aged man was furious. "Don¡¯t push it!"

    Shua!

    Shua!

    One cold gaze after another locked onto Chen Feng.

    "Do you want to leave this ce?" Chen Feng asked calmly.

    Instantly, the middle-aged man calmed down. "Do you have any ways to do that?"

    A profound smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "If we don¡¯t try, we will never know."

 Chapter 274: What Does Color Signify?

    Chapter 274: What Does Color Signify?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    A huge pce was currently at the ce where the boulder formation had originally been. Chen Feng and a group of people were currently in the vicinity, discussing their tactics for entering the pce.

    Based on their guesses, the clue to how they could leave this ce might very well lie in this pce.

    "We can quietly get rid of the patrols out there," the middle-aged man proposed.

    He was an A-ss gic warrior. As for these patrols, they were mere B-ss warriors. Regardless of their amount, they were not his opponent. As long as the others could exercise control and prevent the shockwave from the battle from leaking beyond their immediate vicinity, he would be able to do it.

    "It will be too much of a waste of your energy if you move alone. Perhaps we can all do it together," someone said.

    "I think we should simply ignore the patrols and sneak into the pce," someone suggested.

    They were all discussing the various possibilities.

    Chen Feng¡¯s gazended on the patrols. What joke was that? If he only needed to sneak in or assassinate those patrols, what was the point of him seeking their help?

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly.

    Hum¡ª

    Instantly, his Energy Equipment was assembled.

    The middle-aged man¡¯s expression changed greatly. "What are you doing?"

    Is this guy going crazy?

    Chen Feng sneered. "What else can I do?"

    Bang!

    With a single punch, a terrifying power erupted.

    Pu!

    A group of B-ss patrols were instantly killed.

    This was Chen Feng¡¯s current strength. In this bizarre yet unique space, Chen Feng¡¯sbat power had reached peak A ss.

    "You are going crazy!" The middle-aged man howled, "This way, you will rm the others."

    "I¡¯m aware of that." Chen Feng smiled calmly before continuing, "This pce is only this big. How many people do we have? What¡¯s the point of sneaking or assassinating? Would you believe me if I told you that, regardless of how many people you sneak past, as long as a battle erupts inside the pce, these people will still all reach us quickly? Next, we will be surrounded. What¡¯s the point then? Hence, the easiest method of dealing with this is to simply break in through force, killing everyone we see!"

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Suddenly, the door of the pce opened. Numerous patrols rushed out of the pce, all of them B ss. On top of that, two warriors who were wearing obviously better clothing walked out of the group of patrols, filled with killing intent.

    His cold voice traveled forth. "Kill all intruders!"

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "See... they are here!"

    "F*ck!"

    The middle-aged man cursed. If he¡¯d known that Chen Feng was so stupid, he wouldn¡¯t have chosen to work together. As for now...

    "Kill!" he said with clenched teeth.

    Bang!

    Instantly, the battle erupted.

    The intruders led by Chen Feng faced off against the patrols. Chen Feng and the middle-aged man were in charge of the A-ss patrols while the rest of them were in charge of cleaning up the other B-ss patrols.

    Shortly after, the battle ended. The area in front of the pce was now a bloody mess.

    The two strongest A-ss patrols had been killed by Chen Feng and the middle-aged man. As for those B-ss patrols, a huge amount of them had been killed. Even half the group brought over by the middle-aged man had perished.

    Chen Feng led everyone as they entered the hall. "Let¡¯s go."

    "Ah... enemy attack!"

    "They are already in here!"

    "God, this is so scary..."

    Countless horrified voices resounded. The servants of the pce were all horrified and were fleeing around in disarray.

    This ce...

    This so-called pce might appear glorious. However, at a size of around several hundred square meters, its interior wasn¡¯t really huge. It was around the same size as the exhibition hall at Gold City.

    rming them was the fact that a girl was imprisoned in here. At the middle of the pce hall, countless shackles with ck-and-white radiance swirling around them had a girl locked tightly to the point where she couldn¡¯t even budge.

    This was a youngdy of around 16 or 17 years of age. She had an extremely beautiful appearance. Chen Feng had never seen his youngdy before. However, this youngdy was giving him an iparably familiar feeling, seemingly someone he had seen somewhere. Her eyes were deep blue, the blue of the deep ocean.

    Wait, blue?!

    Chen Feng was rmed. There was actually color in this girl¡¯s eyes?

    "Be careful," Chen Feng reminded.

    Unfortunately...

    ng!

    ng!

    The youngdy started rocking the shackles in her hands and blue radiance starting to envelope her. Instantly, everything around her stopped moving while the blue radiance blossomed without stop.

    The gic warriors that were walking toward that youngdy all stopped moving as well.

    One second, two seconds, three seconds!

    Bang!

    All the shackles crumbled apart.

    Instantly, the blue radiance started spreading out.

    Pu!

    All the gic warriors within ten meters around her were dead. Out of the initially huge group of gic warriors the middle-aged man had led here, only five were left now.

    A smile appeared on the youngdy¡¯s face. "I have been waiting for you guys for a very long time."

    Chen Feng: ???

    The youngdy started humming yfully. "You people from the Gic Union are still as tyrannical as ever."

    Gic Union??? What the heck is she talking about?

    Chen Feng: ???

    However, as he turned around and exchanged nces with the middle-aged man, he instantly realized something.

    This was a trap!

    Someone had used the entirety of the Qinghe Grasnd as a blueprint to construct an independent space for this trap. As such, this was most definitely not a trap for them. Rather, this had been used to trap this youngdy?!

    Based on this youngdy¡¯s words, she was waiting for those from the Gic Union? Hence... this was a confrontation between the Gic Union and some mysterious faction! Chen Feng¡¯s group had merely identally gotten themselves mixed up in this disaster. And now this youngdy was under the impression that they were the people from the Gic Union.

    Abruptly, Chen Feng had an ominous feeling. "Damn it!"

    How powerful would those daring to contend against the Gic Union be?

    Chen Feng was horrified. "Retreat!"

    The middle-aged man had decided to retreat speedily with his remaining subordinates as well.

    However, it was toote.

    Hum¡ª

    A blue radiance started spreading. Instantly, everything around them seemed to slow down.

    This feeling... the binding of space?

    Even the middle-aged man with A-ssbat power failed to escape this. The blue radiance spread and enveloped Chen Feng. Right at this instant, a small flickering light appeared on his body before blocking off all the blue radiance on him.

    Chen Feng rubbed the figurine he had. "You again..."

    This figurine had saved him too many times.

    "Go!" Chen Feng started escaping with Wu Hui. This ce was too dangerous. It was better for them to first retreat from here.

    Unfortunately...

    Bang!

    At that instant, the space up in the sky was ripped apart.

    Numerous gic warriors with terrifying strength started descending from the sky. On each of them was a uniform Chen Feng was extremely familiar with. Those were the uniform of the Gic Union. The people from the union had arrived.

    Regardless of what ce this was, regardless of what faction it was, as long as the experts of the Union were here, the conclusion for this was already set in stone.

    For them to actually gather here...

    Chen Feng was overjoyed. He was saved! The neers were a countless amount of peak B-ss warriors and A-ss warriors. This was the power of the union.

    A group of powerful warriors appeared and locked onto the youngdy with their cold gazes. Toward the end, their gazended on Chen Feng¡¯s group as well.

    Chen Feng hastily made his identity known. "We are on the same side!"

    Hum¡ª

    The leading gic warrior scanned Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    Di. Di.

    "Scan error. Unknown identity," the ice-cold voice of the system prompted.

    That person sneered. "You dare pretend to be a member of the union?"

    ?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped.

    Pretend? How is that possible, this identity token...

    Instinctively, Chen Feng aimed his wristband at them. His wristband was actually able to easily hack into their wristband and perform scanning on them. Next, with horror, Chen Feng discovered that the time indicated by the system in their wristband was 100 years in the past.

    This was simply a different era!

    How could this...

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped furiously.

    Boulder formation... time... pce... blue...

    At this instant, everything seemed toe together.

    Chen Feng finally realized that this was actually the Qinghe Grasnd from 100 years in the past!!! There simply was no independent space or any of that. The location was still the same Qinghe Grasnd. The only thing that had changed was time!

    These colors represented time! Anything ck and white was from the era 100 years ago, while the other colors represented time itself. Due to some unique reason, Chen Feng had not been transformed into a person of that era. As such, even when his body was dragged into that era, he still possessed the power of color, since here, color represented the power of time.

    As for the power released by the youngdy¡¯s blue radiance that stopped everyone¡¯s movement, it was not the power of space. Rather, that was a power capable of slowing or stopping time. She possessed the power of time! That was her ability!

    As for the Gic Union, their target was this youngdy. Finally, Chen Feng understood what had happened. So this was an incident where a youngdy with the power of time was being hunted by the Gic Union? If this was truly what had happened back then...

    Who was the one who was reying this scene from 100 years ago? Who had turned the present Qinghe Grasnd into this? What was the reason?

    Just as Chen Feng was in the midst of astonishment, suddenly, a familiar shout could be heard far away.

    "Ao¡ª"

    A long howl could be heard. Distantly, countless gigantic beasts from the grasnd charged forth. The earth trembled and the howls of the beasts thundered. Instantly, the pce was surrounded by countless gigantic beasts.

    Those were all beasts Chen Feng had never seen before. They were gigantic beasts that only existed a hundred years ago.

    Chen Feng was rmed. "Here ites!"

    The one leading the group of gigantic beasts was that talking grasnd wolf they¡¯d encountered earlier. Different from the other mutated beasts, this particr grasnd beast had color on its body as well, despite its color being only blue.

    On its body was a familiar namete. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Chen Feng was extremely familiar with that namete, he would have most probably missed it.

    "It was that beast indeed." Chen Feng sunk into a solemn mood. It was actually the grasnd wolf leader with terrifying strength.

    The huge grasnd wolf leader knelt down in front of the pce. "Young mistress!"

    The youngdy coldly asked, "Who are you?"

    "I traveled through time to reach here." A smile seemed to appear on that wolf¡¯s face as it continued, "Here to rescue your esteemed self."

    The youngdy was slightly agitated. "Time..."

    Someone from the future to save me?

    "How long in the future are you from?"

    "A hundred years."

    "A hundred years..." The youngdy closed her eyes and continued, "So a hundred years has passed?"

    "Yes, you went missing," the grasnd wolf answered respectfully.

    The youngdy nodded slightly as her cold gaze swept through the people from the Gic Union before sweeping through the grasnd wolf¡¯s army and ultimatelynding on Chen Feng¡¯s group. "Missing..."

    There were three factions at y here now. Although Chen Feng¡¯s group appeared weak, in fact, their fighting strength was extremely astonishing. None would dare to underestimate them.

    Shua!

    At this instant, almost everyone¡¯s gazesnded on Chen Feng¡¯s group. This was an extremely dangerous ce. Everyone here had onlye for their mission. If so, why had this group appeared here?

    "State your identity!" the people of the Gic Union shouted.

    Chen Feng sighed. "We are truly from the same side..."

    Seems like the identity token from 100 years in the future can¡¯t be used here. Oh, right, the technology of their wristbands seems somewhat outdated. If I hack it for a bit...

    "Can you guys try checking my identification token once again?" He looked at the people from the union. Just as they were about to recheck, one of their checkers opened his mouth and said, "Captain, the data was altered a short while ago."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    What the f*ck! Your certification technology is outdated yet your firewall is so advanced??

    Shua!

    Immediately, the people from the Gic Union red at Chen Feng with unfriendly expressions.

    Chen Feng shrugged."We are truly from the same side." Unfortunately, nobody believed his words.

    Finally, that middle-aged man start talking. "We are merely passersby. We are only here for some mission. identally, we got caught up into this affair of yours. We are truly ordinary passersby."

    "From a hundred years in the future?" the grasnd wolf interjected.

    The middle-aged man hesitated before answering, "Yes."

    "Kill!"

    Suddenly, the killing intent of those from the Gic Union surged.

    A hundred years in the future! These people were all here from the future for some mysterious yet evil intentions!

    No one could guarantee that their appearance wouldn¡¯t affect this world in any way. The theories of time maniption were a top secret even in the Gic Union itself. These people all had to die!

    His cold gaze swept through the grasnd wolf and the rest of the people there before ultimately deciding to kill.

    The youngdy nced at Chen Feng. "These people..."

    "They must die." The grasnd wolf lowered its voice. "If they were truly identally dragged here by us, they must die. We have performed extremely delicate calctions on the timeline. Hence, not a single speck of variable must be allowed to exist. The path back to the future was only prepared for you alone. From the moment these people appeared here, they were fated to die. Moreover... it is simply toomon for a third party to benefit from the disputes of others."

    The grasnd wolf was evidently filled with vignce.

    They could not guarantee that this wasn¡¯t some ploy of the Gic Union¡¯s. If they decided to rescue Chen Feng¡¯s group yet Chen Feng¡¯s group decided to backstab them, it would be too dangerous.

    Regardless of them or the Gic Union, they could not permit a third party to exist here.

    In this mission, even for them, only a single survivor was permitted.

    "Kill!"

    The ice-cold killing intent bloomed.

    The people of the Gic Union took the initiative and charged toward Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    "Hey, hey, hey, we are truly on the same side!" Chen Feng revealed his certification details. "This is truly how it will look like 100 years in the future!"

    "Hmph!"

    The people from the Gic Union merely snorted as a response.

    Regardless of whether this was the truth or not, this guy had to die!

    "So you really don¡¯t believe me?" Chen Feng was feeling helpless.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Don¡¯t force me..."

    At that, the expressions of those from the Gic Union became even more serious. From the Energy Equipment on Chen Feng, it was apparent that Chen Feng¡¯sbat power was quite formidable.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Several experts of the Gic Union surrounded Chen Feng.

    The battle was going to start at any moment. The youngdy and the grasnd wolf were surrounded by the people from the Gic Union as well. At the same time, they were also wondering if this youngster here would be able to escape. If both this youngster¡¯s group and the Gic Union ended up hurting each other, things would be perfect.

    "Mhm..." Chen Feng sighed. "I already told you we are from the same side. You guys are the ones who decided not to believe me."

    Suddenly, he dragged Wu Hui with him and retreated toward the youngdy¡¯s direction.

    "You are courting death!"

    The grasnd wolf leader¡¯s eyes gleamed ominously.

    "Bro, we are on the same side!" Chen Feng shouted before taking out a namete he had kept on him for a very long time. A faint word could be seen on it: Duma!

    Youngdy: ???

    Gic Union: ???

    Grasnd wolf leader: ???

    The previous instant, this guy here had still been iming to be from the Gic Union¡¯s side. The next instant, he took out a namete and imed to be on the same side as the grasnd wolf?

    Are you f*cking kidding?

    "This thing..." Finally, the grasnd wolf realized where that familiar feeling it had felt earlier came from. He stared at Chen Feng. "Why do you have this thing?"

    "My master gave it to me. An old freak that had been alive for god knows how long. Hmph hmph," Chen Feng said casually. "He told me toe here to the Qinghe Grasnd to try my luck and see if there were any fortuitous encounters, telling me that I would be able to get a deeper understanding of the power of time or something like that... because I am also a possessor of the power of time!"

    Shua!

    With a wave of his hand, a blue radiance appeared, shining around him.

    The whole space-time of the ck-and-white world seemed to be effected by this. Every single movement of Chen Feng¡¯s was putting great pressure on this world.

    This was exactly the power of time!

    The grasnd wolf leader appeared gratified. "Very good."

    So this guy is from our side? No wonder he is such a treacherous person!

    "I initially nned to sneak myself into the Gic Union." Chen Feng put on a regretful expression. "Unexpectedly, those bastards gave me certification details from the future, which had instead conflicted with the certification details of this time..."

    Veins surfaced on the people of the Gic Union.

    They had almost fallen for that! If this guy¡¯s certification details had been correct...

    Would they have been able to see through something prepared in advance by those from a hundred years in the future? Such an enemy was truly a danger at the highest level!

    The people of the Gic Union appeared unprecedentedly solemn. "Prepare for battle!"

    For the Gic Union! For the world!

    "Battle!"

    After a roar, all of them from the Gic Union erupted with their full power.

    The grasnd wolf leader nced at Chen Feng. "You guys will be in charge of protecting young mistress here."

    Chen Feng nodded slightly. "All right."

    A vicious expression appeared on the grasnd wolf leader¡¯s face. "Then..."

    "Howl¡ª"

    With a loud roar, charge! All the mysterious and powerful gigantic beasts charged forth.

    The battle erupted instantly.

    Chen Feng, on the other hand, dragged Wu Hui and followed closely beside the youngdy. Rather than protecting her, they were being protected instead. However, just as Chen Feng was busy gathering information from his surroundings and thinking of ways to solve his current predicament, a peculiar fragrance assailed his nostrils and a gust of warmth appeared by his ear as an intoxicating voice entered his earlobe.

    "This young brother here... who are you exactly?"

    Chen Feng coughed and continued, "Don¡¯t stand so near me."

    "Teehee, are you getting shy?" The youngdy had a faint smile, but a crafty expression appeared in her eyes. "On your body is an extremely familiar smell, causing me to be unable to resist getting intimate with you."

    "That¡¯s my body odor," Chen Feng said earnestly.

    Youngdy: "..."

    Wu Hui: "..."

    Where¡¯s your face?

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The battle in front of the pce was progressing.

    Some of their opponents tried to approach them. However, they were directly beaten back by Chen Feng. What joke. Since they refused to acknowledge Chen Feng¡¯s identity, he wouldn¡¯t be bothered with their identities as members of the Gic Union.

    "You are very strong," the youngdy eximed in admiration.

    If only personalbat power was measured, Chen Feng would be the strongest here, possessing abat power at peak A ss.

    Chen Feng merely smiled as a reply. "Hehe."

    Another Gic Union expert approached them. "Come and die for me!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Scram!"

    Hum¡ª

    Blood sttered around. That gic warrior was directly killed by Chen Feng.

    Instantly, the atmosphere of the area became somewhat stifling.

    Those gic warriors red at Chen Feng ferociously and finally decided to not charge in his direction. Instead, they focused on the grasnd wolf¡¯s direction and those gigantic beasts.

    The youngdy¡¯s eyes shone. "Wow!"

    So strong!

    In her memories, such powerful gic warriors would normally be those 50- or 60-year-old people old enough to be her grandfather. Even a genius would normally be around 40 years old when they reached this level of strength. As for Chen Feng... he appeared to be only 18 years old! Only around three years older than her!

    At that instant, some sort of romance seemed to sprout in the youngdy¡¯s heart. Which girl wouldn¡¯t wish that during their moment of crisis an unrivaled hero would descend like a deity from the heavens to rescue her? This unrivaled hero was currently Chen Feng.

    There were countless casualties on the battlefield, yet Chen Feng remained standing in front of her peacefully, none daring to approach them. By his lonesome self, he was equivalent to a whole army!

    After a long time, the battle ended. The original n of the Gic Union¡¯s had been to take this youngdy away. Getting involved in a bitter battle had never been part of their n. However, due to the existence of Chen Feng here, they¡¯d had no choice but to first get rid of those gigantic beasts.

    After countless casualties, after suffering a disastrous loss, they¡¯d finally gotten rid of those gigantic beasts. Nevertheless, their remainingbat power was already at their lowest point as well.

    The grasnd wolf sneered. "Are you nning to continue fighting?"

    "So what if we continue fighting?" Suddenly, a person appeared midair. This person was a reinforcement from the Gic Union. It was only a single person, who appeared to be around 25 or 26 years old. As for hisbat power... it was peak A ss!

    A super expert had appeared!

    "Do you think that only your side has reinforcements?" the grasnd wolf said in disdain.

    Based on its understanding toward the events that had happened during this time period, it was precisely now that...

    "Let¡¯s battle then!" With a sh of green, another genius that was equally young appeared.

    A green speck of light was flickering on his forehead, giving him an extremely imposing appearance as he bathed in green radiance that was akin to some sort of extremely terrifying incorporeal barrier.

    He¡¯s finally here! The grasnd wolf¡¯s heart leaped. Senior Lu! Young mistress¡¯s future husband!

    He descended from the sky and blocked in front of all of them. Quietly, he turned around and looked at the youngdy before saying calmly, "With me here, no one can hurt you."

    Youngdy: "..."

    Shua!

    He turned around, and the battle with the genius from the Gic Union began. Rays of light started swirling around them without stop.

    However, the youngdy merely stared at him like she was staring at an idiot.

    Wait, things seems to be progressing somewhat...

    The grasnd wolf¡¯s expression changed. Based on the timeline¡¯s description he had received, this was how the plot should have developed: The youngdy met with a crisis and fell into an impasse. Next, Senior Lu appeared and rescued the youngdy, capturing the beauty¡¯s heart in the process. However, the youngdy had also sustained heavy injuries due to the sneak attack on her. Hence, she was subsequently ill for many years, resulting in her power of time ckening before she would ultimately disappear.

    The very reason this wolf had appeared here back in time was to prevent the sneak attack from ever happening to the youngdy. That was the only reason it was here! Everything else was something it shouldn¡¯t get involved in.

    Based on its master¡¯smand, apart from protecting the youngdy, it should not interfere in the timeline. Hence, it had merely summoned the gigantic beasts to resist the Gic Union instead of affecting any other events in this timeline.

    It hadn¡¯t even allowed Chen Feng, the one who possessed the special namete, to join the battle. The only thing it had had Chen Feng do was protect the youngdy, that was all.

    However... something had unexpectedly happened! Chen Feng had altered history?

    No, no, no. He had not even need to do anything. He had only needed to stand there, and behold, an 18-year-old with peak A-ssbat power, a person with a handsome appearance and a carefree personality, and who was also intelligent and quick witted. Wasn¡¯t all this sufficient for him to alter this course of history? Compared to him, that Senior Lu at around 25 or 26 years old was simply a non-factor attractiveness-wise.

    This did not apply to Senior Lu alone. In fact, both the "exceptional geniuses" that were currently battling it out had been rendered as nonfactors attractiveness-wise due to Chen Feng¡¯s appearance here. Moreover, after figuring out Chen Feng¡¯s realbat power, as long as Chen Feng remained standing by her side, the youngdy would not feel any sense of crisis.

    Hence, a scene where a hero appeared and rescued the beauty would most probably not appear anymore.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The battle was still progressing.

    Those two "exceptional geniuses" were battling it out on the battlefield, yet the youngdy was only staring at Chen Feng with an inquisitive and worshipping gaze. The only thing missing was her asking this young brother here if he wanted to get some from her.

    Grasnd wolf: "..."

    What the f*ck, what should I do about this? The grasnd wolf¡¯s head ached. "Let me think about it."

    Once again, it recalled the overall n. Mhm, after countless years of bitter cultivation, its master had finally grasped the power of time. After the young mistress disappeared, he¡¯d started putting even more effort into his research, which culminated in their current n of going back in time. All this was in order to allow the young mistress to once again return to reality.

    And now... everything was indeed progressing as nned. However, the person ying the role of the hero who had rescued the beauty had somehow changed.

    Oh... this shouldn¡¯t have too big an effect on the timeline, right?

    The grasnd wolf contemted seriously. Senior Lu was also a top-notch existence back in the future. With his strength and talent, it would be too easy for him to regain the heart of this youngdy.

    Mhm... that¡¯s for sure! The grasnd wolf checked the time. Almost there!

    Based on their n, it should now prepare for the return into the future. Thirty seconds, 20 seconds, 10 seconds...

    The grasnd wolf¡¯s heart leaped. "Here ites!"

    Bang!

    Space shattered into pieces as countless experts of the Gic Union appeared out of the crack in the air. Finally, the main squad of the Gic Union had arrived.

    "Aowuuuu¡ª" the wolf howled. Instantly, countless blue radiances condensed together. In the air, a terrifying beam of light appeared and pierced through heaven and Earth.

    "Go!" Senior Lu shouted. "I will stop them here!"

    "All right."

    Light started swirling around the grasnd wolf.

    Hum¡ª

    A terrifying blue radiance bloomed.

    Time started moving.

    "Do you need my help?" Chen Feng asked calmly.

    "No." The grasnd wolf shook its head. "Since you are from the future, try to avoid doing anything. You only need to focus on protecting the young mistress."

    Chen Feng calmly replied, "All right. No harm shall befall her before first getting rid of me."

    His thought process was quite simple. Presently, he was only thinking of pretending to be one of them. As such, he only needed to try his best to perfect his cover and avoid being seen through. Unexpectedly, though, after this seemingly casual sentence of his, the eyes of the youngdy started twinkling.

    Grasnd wolf: "..."

    Bro, can you not y the part of an idol 1 at times like this? If this continues, Senior Lu will truly be green 2 ...

    "Xiao Fei! See you in a hundred years!" Senior Lu howled.

    Currently, he was blocking the whole Gic Union all by himself, with a majesty akin to someone who was blocking off an army of 10,000 men by his lonesome. Unfortunately for him, nobody seemed to be appreciating his current splendor.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around and the scene around them started changing.

    Time was reinstating itself.

    Could a life form from a hundred years in the past be truly brought forward to the future? Chen Feng had no idea. He had an indescribable sense of reverence toward the power of time. In fact, this was simply a power mankind had no hope of controlling. That was time itself!

    Behind him was the youngdy. Her eyes were shut and her tiny hands were grabbing onto the corner of Chen Feng¡¯s shirt.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Light swirled around.

    Gradually, their surroundings recovered their color.

    After a long time, a blue undtion started spreading around them, and everything returned to how it was. The Qinghe Grasnd also recovered its green. They had finally returned to the future!

    Their emotions surged. "We are back!"

    "Wow. This is the future?" The youngdy was pleasantly surprised. However, right at this instant, a flicker appeared in the air. A terrifying killing intent instantly enveloped the whole area as a voice resounded, "I have been waiting a long time for you guys."

    Bang!

    Instantly, a terrifying power descended.

    The whole world was enveloped by darkness as the terrifying power reached them instantly.

    Ka!

    Ka!

    The team brought here by the middle-aged man, the group that had been following behind Chen Feng, was instantly killed by the terrifying power that descended.

    Pu!

    The middle-aged man started spurting blood as well. Right after he¡¯d returned to the future, before he could even react to anything, his chest was pierced through by a beam of light. A magnificent A-ss gic warrior like him was actually killed instantly.

    Chen Feng was deeply rmed. "How is that possible?"

    A ss! That was an A ss! Even an A ss couldn¡¯t block this attack?

    Currently, that terrifying attack neared Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. "I¡¯m finished."

    Defend!

    Pu!

    Chen Feng¡¯s chest was pierced through by that terrifying beam of light in a split second. His heart was disintegrated as a stifling feeling emerged within. Chen Feng¡¯s sight blurred before he started copsing.

    Raising his head, he could vaguely see a green radiance that was gradually condensing in the air before a silhouette walked out of the green. On that person¡¯s forehead was a green gem that was gleaming resplendently.

    It¡¯s him!

    Chen Feng was horrified as he suddenly recalled what Gou Li had told him back then.

    "Remember! If you see someone with an odd stone on his forehead, regardless of the time or venue, flee, flee as far as you can!"

    Soul... So... he is Soul!!! That youngster from a hundred years ago was also him! Lu Hun? 3

    Unfortunately, he¡¯d realized this toote.

    Bang!

    Blood sttered out of his chest as his body copsed loudly on the ground. Dead.

    Chapter 277: Golden Silhouette!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At Star City, Hou Liang was ying chess with Old Zhu.

    "I heard that kid Chen Feng went over to Gic Union for some mission again?" Old Zhu curled his lips. "Are you truly not worried?"

    "What should I be worried of?" Hou Liangughed. "As a producer with off-the-chartsbat power, our methods are inherently unsuitable for him. Rather, it is my hope that all producers will have suchbat power."

    "Gic Union..." Old Zhu shook his head. "The missions there are much harder than our missions."

    Hou Liang grudgingly said, "If he was going to die, he would have died a long time ago. If anyone is dying, I will probably die first."

    Pa!

    "Eat!"

    Using a chess piece that looked like a lion, Hou Liang ate Old Zhu¡¯s chess piece that looked like a tiger. Just as he was about to start bragging, abruptly, a familiar power could be felt.

    That is...

    Immediately, he turned around and stared in a certain direction.

    Old Zhu was startled as well. "That power..."

    At this instant, countless experts in Star City looked in the same direction. Countless consciousnesses started scanning over there. Every producer in Star City was extremely clear on what this power signified.

    Something had happened there!

    At Qinghe Grasnd, when that terrifying green radiance had descended, even the grasnd wolf and that youngdy were rmed. None of them had expected they would encounter such a crisis the moment they returned to the future.

    "Senior Lu!" Grasnd wolf cried out in rm. "He is from our side!"

    "How ridiculous." Lu Hun¡¯s forehead gleamed with green, and his eyes were chilly. "A hundred years ago, I was unaware of who he was. But now, how would it be possible for me to not be aware of who he is? Champion of the Gene Rookie Competition, a genius belonging to both the Gic Union and Gene Production Association. Hehe, with such an identity, he is thinking of lying to me? How ridiculous!"

    "I won¡¯t allow you to kill him." The youngdy clenched her teeth as light started swirling in both her hands. "Time: rewind!"

    A faint power of time surged out of her hands. She wanted to rewind time several seconds into the past, believing that Chen Feng would be saved if she did that. However, how would Lu Hun permit that?

    "Sigh." With a sigh, a gust of power erased the youngdy¡¯s power with ease.

    "You!" The youngdy red at Lu Hun ferociously.

    "I won¡¯t me you, since the current you does not have any memory of that phase of our lives." Lu Hun¡¯s gazended on the youngdy. His gaze was filled with gentleness, but it was quickly reced with killing intent. "However, anyone who dares toy their hands on you will die! Especially him!" He pointed at Chen Feng. "You want to rescue him? If so, I will dismember his body into ten thousand pieces and extinguish his soul so that you can totally give up on this thought of yours," Lu Hun said coldly.

    Shua!

    Once again, a green radiance shot out of his hand toward Chen Feng.

    "You!" The youngdy looked toward the grasnd wolf. "Imand you to stop him!"

    "Senior Lu..." The grasnd wolf could only step forth with a bitter smile on its face. It had no way of disobeying the young mistress¡¯smand!

    Lu Hun¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly.

    Bang!

    The grasnd wolf was directly sted away.

    After returning to the future, how would Chen Feng, who only possessed thebat power of a peak B ss, be Lu Hun¡¯s opponent? Lu Hun was someone who was at the very least at the peak of A ss. It was also quite probable that he had even surpassed A ss!

    The youngdy clenched her teeth. "I won¡¯t permit you to do that."

    She was clear that, if Chen Feng¡¯s body was destroyed by the power the time, there would truly no longer be any methods to save him.

    Instinctively, she felt the urge to protect Chen Feng.

    However, Lu Hun merely uttered a single word: "Lock!"

    Hum¡ª

    A terrifying and formidable power appeared and locked down all her power. Her power of time and even her body were locked down on the spot, to the point where she couldn¡¯t even budge.

    Lu Hun¡¯s gazended on Chen Feng. "Let¡¯s get this over with."

    Chen Feng was a variable that had appeared in this n of his. Despite the appearance of this unexpected variable, however, as long as Chen Feng was eliminated and Xiao Fei recovered her memories, everything would return to how it was.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. The terrifying power gushing out of Lu Hun¡¯s hand shed toward Chen Feng.

    Bang!

    A seemingly endless power bloomed.

    Damn it!

    Wu Hui was biting his lips to the point he¡¯d started bleeding. In his heart, Chen Feng was an existence akin to his master. Chen Feng was the one who had opened up his path, the one who had assisted him in his rise, turning him into a true expert. However... he couldn¡¯t help Chen Feng at all! This was also the first time he¡¯d realized how terrifying this guy with a diamond on his forehead was.

    The so-called C ss, B ss, A ss, all these were merely some empty words as far as Lu Hun was concerned. He could easily crush all these people. Starting from the squad led by the A-ss warrior earlier until Chen Feng, this guy was almost unrivaled when dealing with them.

    As for Wu Hui, he could only watch on as Chen Feng died. Earlier, when that power had prated Chen Feng, he¡¯d witnessed with his own eyes as Chen Feng¡¯s aura diminished, feeling that grief deep in his heart...

    And now, this guy was even nning on destroying Chen Feng¡¯s corpse? Wu Hui felt an endless sense of humiliation.

    He started shouting, "Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

    Bang!

    A terrifying power bubbled up around him. He charged forward and blocked in front of Chen Feng¡¯s corpse.

    Wu Hui¡¯s gaze was resolute. "I do not fear you! I am Wu Hui. I possess the power of an A ss! I won¡¯t be afraid of you!"

    "Ah." Lu Hun merelyughed at that.

    Pu!

    Light swirled as Wu Hui was instantly sted away.

    "You..." Wu Hui started spurting blood without stop.

    Attack? Nope, Lu Hun hadn¡¯t even bothered with him. The disparity between their strengths was simply too great, to the point that Wu Hui was simply nonexistent as far as Lu Hun was concerned. As such, Lu Hun did not care about what level of strength Wu Hui possessed.

    Earlier, Wu Hui had merely been hit by the energy leaking out of Lu Hun¡¯s attack that was heading toward Chen Feng. That was already sufficient to st him away.

    So... I¡¯m still so weak?

    Shua!

    That resplendent green radiance reached Chen Feng¡¯s corpse, and once again, that terrifying green explosion appeared. Next, dust and smoke covered everything there.

    It¡¯s over.

    Wu Hui shut his eyes with grief. He had failed to even protect Chen Feng¡¯s corpse.

    The same grief was stered on the youngdy¡¯s face. After Chen Feng¡¯s corpse was bombarded by the power of time, regardless of how miraculous her power was, she would not be able to save him. This time, Chen Feng was truly dead.

    "Then, it¡¯s your turn." Just as he stepped forth and was about to kill Wu Hui, suddenly, an astonishing power erupted behind him.

    Bang!

    He turned around hastily and stared in the direction that power wasing from. That was where Chen Feng¡¯s corpse was!

    Bang!

    The green radiance pervading the whole grasnd instantly cleared. The smoke and dust covering the air instantly disintegrated, clearing the visibility there. Chen Feng¡¯s corpse could be seen hovering in the air.

    Bang!

    The air cracked as a golden silhouette descended from the sky and, slowly, it reached Chen Feng and startedbining with his body before transforming into a heart.

    Thump!

    Thump!

    The golden heart was shining dazzlingly.

    Everyone else couldn¡¯t resist sheltering their eyes from that dazzling radiance. Vaguely, they could see that the endlessly surging golden radiance was condensing within Chen Feng¡¯s body. A trace of warmth started appearing within that seemingly dead body.

    Suddenly, that golden heart started burning.

    Bang!

    It followed with a resplendent golden explosion.

    Abruptly, a pair of energy-formed golden wings spread out behind Chen Feng. The terrifying power apanying the spread of the wings ripped the space around him apart and sted Lu Hun and everyone else away.

    "How is that possible..." Lu Hun had an inconceivable feeling. What on earth is that?!

    He was thoroughly rmed due to the extremely peculiar power he was sensing currently.

    "What..." Lu Hun red at Chen Feng, "What on earth are you?"

    Chen Feng had resurrected.

    Without any rewinding of time, without any heaven-defying gic ability, just like that, he had resurrected. Using such an inconceivable method, he renewed Lu Hun¡¯s worldview.

    That was especially true for that burning golden heart of his.

    Thump!

    Thump!

    With every pulse of the heart, Chen Feng¡¯s strength increased greatly.

    Once!

    Twice!

    The golden radiance shone dazzlingly.

    The current Chen Feng was bathed in gold with a pair of dazzling golden wings behind him, akin to a deity that had descended upon the earth. As his heart thumped, his consciousness started recovering, and that familiar conversation he¡¯d once had seemed to resurface in his brain.

    "It is something only a person who has greatly contributed to the Gene Production Association is entitled to possess."

    "It is a power condensed by a super expert. If you were to meet with any danger, the clone of that expert will descend upon you temporarily. It will be equivalent to a second life for you."

    "This Absolute Guard... it is capable of dealing with any sort of enemy for you."

    "Naturally, if it¡¯s possible, I hope that the day where you need to use it neveres."

    Ah. So... this is Absolute Guard?

    Bang!

    The terrifying golden radiance faded. Chen Feng¡¯s consciousness finally recoveredpletely as his tightly shut pair of eyes reopened.

    Shua!

    The golden radiance shone dazzlingly.

 Chapter 278: What Should I Be Afraid Of?

    Chapter 278: What Should I Be Afraid Of?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In Star City, countless people¡¯s gazes were focused in the direction of Qinghe Grasnd¡¯s.

    Earlier, they had all felt the astonishing power belonging to an Absolute Guard from that direction. This was something only the few rare talented individuals who had contributed greatly to the association possessed.

    However...

    Hou Liang was shocked. "Why is it his power?"

    The power of an Absolute Guard was not fixed. It was indeed an extremely powerful item. However, it was ultimately still dependent on the super expert that produced it. Hou Liang had never expected that the Absolute Guard of Chen Feng¡¯s had been produced using the power of that person.

    Old Zhu sighed. "Perhaps... this is what fate intends?"

    Hou Liang shook his head. "Perhaps."

    He knew that the moment the golden clone descended, the conclusion for that crisis Chen Feng was currently facing would be set in stone.

    ***

    At the Qinghe Grasnd, Lu Hun¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. An astonishing amount of green radiance was being emitted from the diamond on his forehead.

    "I loathe this power..." He had a gloomy gaze. This golden radiance was giving him an extremely ufortable feeling. He concentrated his cold gaze on Chen Feng. "And you... still need to die!"

    The killing intent in his eyes intensified.

    So what if Chen Feng had resurrected? So what if his strength increased? A mere clone like that, even after Chen Feng fused with the clone, in Lu Hun¡¯s eyes, Chen Feng was still an existence akin to a bug.

    Lu Hun clenched his fists. If it was my main body that hade in person...

    That¡¯s right, the present Lu Hun was a clone as well! Otherwise, with the strength he possessed as a super expert, he would have ended this battle long ago.

    Shua!

    A resplendent green radiance surged out of his hands. Lu Hun¡¯s killing intent bloomed. He could clearly feel that, at most, the power from that golden clone would be on par with his. As of now, Chen Feng had yet to fully fuse with it. Hence, if he were to make his move now, he would definitely be able to kill Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng smiled coldly. "You truly believe that?"

    The arrival of the golden clone was somewhat unexpected for him. At his moment of crisis earlier, the only thing he had been able to do was activate his Luck Aura before cing all his hope on the Absolute Guard.

    He had never imagined that the Absolute Guard would be so powerful.

    Dong!

    Dong!

    The throbbing golden heart was still burning as it ovepped with Chen Feng¡¯s heart before releasing an unimaginably formidable power.

    This was a power capable of surpassing everything. That instant when he¡¯d merged with the golden clone earlier, he¡¯d felt a familiar power and discovered that the Lu Hun before him was simrly an energy clone as well. Despite Lu Hun being a clone, though, he was still iparably powerful.

    Indeed, he was powerful enough to insta-kill an A-ss warrior. Ultimately, though, this was only a clone.

    If this was his main body, Chen Feng would not hesitate. He would definitely turn around and flee immediately. Now, though, since they were both clones now that Chen Feng had fused with the golden clone, there was really nothing for him to be afraid of.

    This was especially true in their current situation, where what he faced was a clone formed of energy.

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "Ah."

    Shua!

    He took a step forth. The pair of golden wings were emitting a huge amount of golden radiance, painting the whole sky gold. He reached out and grabbed the empty air. Next, a shining red sword appeared from the air. That was a sword that Xiao Ying had transformed into!

    Shua!

    With a golden flicker, Chen Feng shed forth and collided with Lu Hun.

    Bang!

    A terrifying shockwave was created by their collision. The green radiance in Lu Hun¡¯s hand was sliced off by the red sword. After slicing off the green radiance, the sword continued shing forth, leaving a terrifying line of blood on Lu Hun¡¯s body.

    Pu!

    Blood sttered, and countless energy particles dissipated.

    Lu Hun¡¯s pupils shrunk. "This..."

    Once again, he was shocked.

    He was extremely certain that even that golden clone would not possess such a terrifying item! This was actually a sword capable of devouring energy and ignoring all defenses.

    He stared at Chen Feng with a shocked expression. "What on earth... are you?"

    This was already the second time he had been surprised by this bug-like gic warrior. Due to the blood that was gushing out of this energy-formed clone of his, he was starting to lose his strength. The power of this clone was weakening.

    "Me?" Chen Feng smiled calmly before replying, "I am your killer."

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    sh!

    Chen Feng streaked forth, leaving countless afterimages behind. Under the support of the golden wings, Chen Feng was currently as fast as lightning, capable ofpletely suppressing Lu Hun.

    This...

    The grasnd wolf was stunned.

    Wu Hui was stunned.

    The youngdy was stunned.

    Who would have imagined that the present Chen Feng was so terrifying?

    This was not 100 years in the past. Here, there was no such thing as the power of color. This was also not the young Lu Hun of 100 years ago. Instead, this was a true genuine super expert here!

    This, this, this...

    Pu!

    Light swirled around, and blood sttered around in the air.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    A great damage would be inflicted after every single collision. Under the assistance of the golden wings, Chen Feng was astonishingly fast. In this battle between two clones, it was obvious that the clone that had fused with Chen Feng held the advantage.

    One could also say that Chen Feng, as the owner of Xiao Ying, was simply much more powerful in this battle between energy clones.

    Pu!

    After another sh of gold, Lu Hun¡¯s silhouette, which had been flickering everywhere, stopped moving.

    This clone of his was already leaking energy from the earlier attack. This single instant where he was unable to dodge in time was siezed by Chen Feng, whose attacknded immediately. With an ice cold sh of gold, Lu Hun¡¯s body was shed in two.

    A golden line appeared on his forehead and spread downward in a straight trajectory.

    Hum¡ª

    The gold shone brightly.

    Instantly, Lu Hun¡¯s body copsed.

    Surprisingly, the body that was split in two rejoined together shortly after. However, the gleam on his forehead had obviously dimmedpared to earlier.

    "Chen Feng..." Lu Hun stared at the youngster in front of him. He had been defeated. Completely defeated in a manner he had never seening. His n had obviously been progressing smoothly. Xiao Fei had obviously been brought here to the future safely as well. Why would this have been the final result, then? Furthermore, it was truly unfortunate that his main body was temporarily incapable of leaving where it was.

    "Are you aware of what you are doing?" Lu Hun howled.

    "Chen Feng... when my main body returns..."

    Chen Feng snorted. "Hmph."

    Hum¡ª

    While Lu Hun was talking, the golden radiance on Chen Feng¡¯s body intensified. The red sword that Xiao Ying had transformed into started burning as the golden radiance swirled around its body.

    Bang!

    At this instant, all the unleashed energy condensed.

    sh!

    With a resplendent radiance, Lu Hun was sted away midsentence. Before he could stand back up, a terrifying sharp radiance pierced through his chest.

    Pu!

    The sound of his chest being prated could be clearly heard.

    Lu Hun widened his eyes and stared at the red sword that had him stabbed on the ground with an unbelieving expression, unable to believe that he had actually gotten himself nailed onto this Qinghe Grasnd.

    "You..." His eyes gleamed coldly. "You have no idea what have you done..."

    "Oh, I am very aware of what I am doing," Chen Feng replied calmly.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around as he pulled the red sword out.

    Bang!

    The green radiance shattered.

    Lu Hun, dead!

    "Are you insane?" The grasnd wolf had a horrified expression on its face. "Why did you kill him? Oh god, the moment his clone is killed, his main body will receive the feedback. That madman will definitely..."

    Chen Feng nced at him coldly. "Shall I keep his clone around to celebrate the new year, then?"

    "Damn it!" The grasnd wolf was so nervous its lips felt dry. It was the only one here aware of Lu Hun¡¯s horror. His nickname as the Soul Emissary was not for show.

    "Leave, fast!" Instinctively, it wanted to take the youngdy away. However, at that moment, a green radiance appeared in the sky. In the sky, a huge pair of eyes suddenly appeared. The ice-cold gaze of that pair of eyesnded on them, akin to the eyes of the heavens!

    He was here! After the death of its clone, its main body was about toe!

    However...

    Chen Feng checked his luck value. The expected rapid drop of luck value did not appear. In other words, he was not in any danger presently. Why was that? Could it be...

    "You can¡¯te in person." Suddenly, Chen Feng realized something. "For something so important, you would have definitelye with your main body if you could trulye. The fact that only a clone was sent here signifies that your main body simply has no way of leaving where you are presently. With this..." Chen Feng looked at that huge pair of eyes in the sky and continued, "Who are you trying to scare?"

    Lu Hun: "..."

    Lunatic! Lunatic!

    The grasnd wolf felt its scalp go numb.

    That was the main body of Lu Hun, yet Chen Feng actually dared to provoke him!

    Lu Hun¡¯s indifferent voice travelled toward them from the sky. "Indeed, I have no way of leaving presently. However, do you believe that I am helpless just because I can¡¯t leave?"

    At that, Chen Feng increased his vignce. "Oh?"

    Soul... control...

    Suddenly, he recalled the experiences of Gou Li.

    Shua!

    Xiao Ying started flickering with a red glow. Chen Feng was certain that, the moment this person attempted to invade his consciousness, he would be able to beat this person up so badly even Lu Hun¡¯s mother wouldn¡¯t recognize him.

    However.

    "Aowuuu¡ª"

    A howl could be heard.

    The initially bright red pair of eyes of the grasnd wolf turned green. Lu Hun had actually gained control over the grasnd wolf.

    Chen Feng had an ominous feeling. Not good.

    sh!

    A resplendent radiance started shining.

    Without hesitation, Chen Feng unleashed his strongest attack. However, outside of his expectations, the grasnd wolf was actually charging toward that youngdy. It was nning to forcefully kidnap the youngdy!

    This Lu Hun...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Do you think I will let you off so easily?"

    Soul Emissary? Since you can¡¯t even leave where you are, what am I afraid of?

    Shua!

    His golden wings started flickering, and once again, he erupted with his limit-surpassing speed. Once again, the sword in his hand started radiating gold. This time, he aimed his sh directly toward that pair of eyes in the sky.

    Bang!

    A terrifying golden explosion appeared in the air.

 Chapter 279: The Biggest Harvest

    Chapter 279: The Biggest Harvest

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang!

    A terrifying golden radiance exploded midair. The green gaze that was focused on the grasnd wolf paused momentarily at this.

    "Ao¡ª"

    The wolf regained its consciousness.

    The grasnd wolf started hurling curses at Lu Hun. "Screw you, Lu Hun!" It stopped its charge forward and changed its direction. However, it hadn¡¯t stopped moving. Instead, it was still leaving speedily with the youngdy.

    "Young Mistress... I will take you home!"

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    Light swirled around and the grasnd wolf disappeared rapidly.

    Lu Hun¡¯s expression changed greatly. Damn it.

    Back then, Xiao Fei had only decided to marry him to thank him for saving her life. Unfortunately, although the current her had indeed traveled here from 100 years in the past, her nature, characteristics, and emotions weren¡¯t in a particrly stable state. It would be quite a while before his main body could leave where he was presently at as well. If during this period of time she was to....

    Lu Hun was furious. "You dare?"

    Shua!

    That huge pair of eyes gleamed green as he attempted to once again gain control over the grasnd wolf. However, with a red sh, his attack that was made up of energy was instantly cut off.

    "Chen Feng!" Lu Hun was bursting with rage.

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "Bye."

    Xiu!

    The glow of the sword in his hand intensified.

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    Next, Xiao Ying transformed back into its real body. A boundless red radiance emerged and started shining dazzlingly in the air. Lu Hun¡¯s pair of eyes in the sky that were formed of energy were instantly devoured cleanly by Xiao Ying.

    The sky regained its past sunny appearance. Vaguely, Lu Hun¡¯s furious thundering shouts could be heard.

    Chen Feng curled his lips. "The f*ck you shouting for."

    What was so scary about a guy who couldn¡¯t even leave where he was? As for what was going to happen when he was finally able to leave... Mhm, when that time came, Chen Feng could always have the Gic Union and Gene Production Association deal with him.

    At most, he would have to be more attentive to his luck value in the future.

    Chen Feng was extremely calm and collected.

    Hum¡ª

    All the radiance interweaving around him vanished. Chen Feng could feel that terrifying power of the golden clone within him disappearing. At that moment, his body had a hollow feeling.

    This is the power of Absolute Guard?

    Chen Feng was shocked.

    No wonder so many people were envious of him when he¡¯d obtained it back then. So this so-called Absolute Guard was so powerful?

    His strength disappeared, and once again, he dropped back to D ss.

    "It¡¯s about time I return..." Chen Feng muttered.

    Next, he lifted the unconscious Wu Hui and shook his head helplessly. He had initiallye here as a boss. Ultimately, though, he¡¯d ended up as a dad... His current feeling was truly unexinable.

    He lowered his head. The Wu Hui in his embrace was still unconscious, sleeping like a child.

    But in fact, he was indeed still a child.

    "Master... no..." Wu Hui mumbled in his sleep.

    Chen Feng¡¯s face darkened. Was Wu Hui referring to Chen Feng as his master?

    Forget it, I can ept it even if he¡¯s calling me Master, but what on earth is with the "Master, no"ing out of his mouth? Godd*mnit, outsiders might misunderstand, thinking I have done something forbidden to you.

    Chen Feng shook his head helplessly. "Truly..."

    Time to return.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around as Chen Feng sped away carrying Wu Hui.

    A rough description of what had happened had already been transmitted over to Hou Liang. It was better for him to leave the follow-up of this incident to the Gene Production Association and Gic Union.

    ***

    Somewhere high above the sky, in a dusky region surrounded by clouds and mist, was a flickering green radiance.

    Currently, an iparably vicious expression was on Lu Hun¡¯s face, the Lu Hun who had always appeared calm and collected. He had never imagined that this n of his would actually conclude in such a manner.

    Xiao Fei had indeed returned. However, it was in such circumstances that she had returned. His initially perfect n had altered due to the appearance of a single Chen Feng!

    Killing intent surged in Lu Hun¡¯s eyes. "Chen Feng..."

    This guy must die!

    He couldn¡¯t permit anyone else to get intimate with Xiao Fei, even if the present Xiao Fei merely had a favorable opinion toward Chen Feng. That was his wife! The color of his energy might be green, but that did not signify that his hat was green 1 as well!

    Shua!

    Light swirled around as his gloomy voice condensed into a ray of energy and pierced through space.

    "Keep an eye on him. Wait for my return. It won¡¯t be long..."

    Not long after Chen Feng and the rest left the Qinghe Grasnd, the people dispatched here by the authorities after Chen Feng¡¯s report arrived. They started gathering the data and energy around this area for the preparation of a detailed report.

    The appearance of the power of time was sufficient to cause a huge uproar.

    Time was a power a normal person would not be able to control. As for that grasnd wolf, that mysterious youngdy Xiao Fei, and that Lu Hun, all these people seemed to possess a certain mastery or knowledge over the power of time. That was an extremely terrifying prospect.

    What rmed everyone was the fact that all these people seemed to know each other! Even if there appeared to be some conflict among them presently, this was still an rming fact. In other words, there existed such a circle that none knew about, a circle of people that possessed a power capable of surpassing everything, the power to control time itself.

    Kidnapping someone from 100 years in the past? That was simply too terrifying an idea. Moreover, from what they had seen, the arrival of the youngdy from the past did not seem like it had affected the world 100 years ago at all. Was there any power that was affecting all this?

    Who was it that was plotting this? This was what the Gic Union wanted to find out.

    Only after Chen Feng returned to Star City did he breathe out in relief.

    He was also a member of the Gic Union. However, every single time, he would subconsciously head back to Star City. Without him realizing, this ce had be a true home to him, despite his conflict with all the other producers during the previous excellence award incident.

    Right as he arrived, that familiar heated atmosphere could be felt.

    "Bastard Chen Feng, return to me my contribution points!"

    "Protesting against loot boxes, I request transparency in the drop rates of the loot boxes!"

    "Protesting against Chen Feng, follow my lead!"

    ...

    Chen Fengmented endlessly. How much I have missed all this...

    The excellence award event was still in progress. Chen Feng shook his head before sending Wu Hui to the infirmary. After receiving the news of Chen Feng¡¯s return, Hou Liang rushed over immediately.

    Hou Liang gasped. "Damn, you can do it with someone this young?"

    Shua!

    Chen Feng red at him.

    This guy here was truly old, yet he did not act his age.

    "Cough, cough." Hou Liang coughed before continuing, "I have received the rough description of what happened. However, I¡¯m afraid you will need to report it one more time in more detail."

    Chen Feng appeared confused. "I have to report this even though this was not a mission for the Gene Production Association?"

    Hou Liang appeared excited. "Of course! This is what I fought for! For such an incident, if you make an official report on it, you will be able to earn a huge amount of contribution points. Don¡¯t you want the reward?"

    At that, Chen Feng was enticed.

    The rewards of the Gene Production Association had never disappointed him.

    Soon, under Hou Liang¡¯s arrangements, Chen Feng filed a top secret report. His report contained the information on the mysterious youngdy and Lu Hun.

    As for Gou Li, after hesitating, Chen Feng had decided to not tell them about him.

    It was improper for him to be the one to say it. If the Gic Union decided to not ept their exnation and instead decided to expose their hiding ce, it would result in a big mess.

    Soon, the Qinghe Grasnd incident calmed down. The battle over the excellence award was reaching the end as well. After checking the rankings, Chen Feng found that his current points were already far above Lan Jingling¡¯s. Hence, he did not need to worry about it at all.

    If so, it was time for him to focus on his breakthrough.

    He couldn¡¯t wait to break through. Due to the time travel and all sorts of other unexpected incidents that had happened, he¡¯d simply had no chance to consume the mysterious gene reagent Wu Yaotian had produced before the gene reagent had lost all the energy stored within.

    Fortunately, after spending some time with it and with the help of his Luck Aura, Chen Feng managed to deduce the form required to produce this gene reagent. This was the true gain he had from this whole mission: the form for a gene reagent capable of breaking through the D-ss limit!

    With the form in his possession, he would be able to produce it for himself. Not only him, even Wu Hui would be able to enter C ss with it as well. He believed that, when this gene reagent was finally produced, it would cause a huge uproar.

    It would even reach the point where the overall strength of mankind in this world was pushed one step forward. This was something that would, in the truest sense, alter the world.

 Chapter 280: New Formula!

    Chapter 280: New Form!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At Star City, Chen Feng was researching the new form. He already had the rough draft for the form, but there were still a lot of problems with it that he had yet to solve. For example, the problem where this gene reagent could only be produced in a unique environment.

    A gene reagent with a 100% probability of breakthrough was in itself something that was not supposed to exist in this world. This brand-new gene reagent was something only able to be produced in an environment where time was slowed down.

    But now, the boulder formation no longer existed. Youngdy Xiao Fei had returned back to her home as well. As for Chen Feng himself, he did not have any methods of controlling time.

    Chen Feng¡¯s head ached. "This is going to be troublesome."

    Just like that, his research on this new form became stuck. Chen Feng tried countless times to solve the problem, but he gained nothing from further research. He simply couldn¡¯t find any substitute for the boulder formation.

    Chen Feng muttered, "Time..."

    Based on Wu Hui¡¯s introduction, this form had been created by his father several years ago. However, Wu Yaotian had been stuck at one particr step for a very long time and had ultimately chosen the method of slowing down time toplete this form.

    "Wait." Suddenly, Chen Feng realized something. Why was he stubbornly getting stuck on this problem of time? The only thing he¡¯d seen was the solution Wu Yaotian had devised to solve the specific problem that he had been stuck on. If so, what exactly was the initial problem Wu Yaotian had encountered?

    Chen Feng contemted. "The reason Wu Yaotian slowed down time was to solve a certain crucial problem. Hence, there is simply no need for me to stubbornly try solving this issue of time. If I can find his research documents and discover the initial problem he encountered, that will be sufficient."

    Shua!

    He started searching for the research documents of Wu Yaotian.

    Shortly after, he found the problem that had stumped Wu Yaotian back then.

    ----

    Problem code: XT-126

    Problem description: At the 32nd step of production, a total of 76 materials need to perfectly react with each other. When under catalyst, the particles making up all the materials be extremely lively and tremble without stop, causing the reaction and fusion process to fail. Under normal circumstances, this is a production that can never bepleted.

    Experiment 1: Using temperature-reduction methods to reduce the speed at which the particles trembled... failed.

    Experiment 2: Using space-binding methods to reduce the speed at which the particles trembled...failed.

    Experiment 3: ....

    ...

    Experiment 74: ...

    ...

    Experiment 208: ...

    ...

    Experiment 300: ...

    ----

    A total of 300 experiments had been conducted, and all of them had failed. Every single one of them had failed. Wu Yaotian had been extremely serious in every single one of these experiments. He had been a top-notch producer in the truest sense.

    He had attempted almost every means possible to him. Finally, he had been forced to alter the form and had chosen to use a unique method to produce this gene reagent. His chosen method had been time control, in spite of the high price he had to pay.

    As a result of using such a production method, thepleted gene reagent became something extremely unstable. As such, the production had only been able to bepleted at that unique environment where time was slowed down. Moreover, even after sessfully producing it, one had to consume it under such unique environment for the gene reagent to work. Otherwise, once the produced gene reagent left the unique environment, it would spoil.

    In a sense, this wasn¡¯t too perfect a form.

    To be urate, this was a form that had been altered as apromise for the problem that Wu Yaotian hadn¡¯t been able to solve otherwise. Fortunately, he had been sessful in his production. After several years of meticulous study,bined with his own understanding of gic abilities, he had ultimately created this miraculous feat.

    Chen Feng finished studying the data seriously. After finishing, he was somewhat excited. "So that¡¯s what happened."

    So the core problem is still the gene reaction process.

    Under the catalyst effect, the particles of the materials would start trembling rapidly. As such, a unique environment where time was slowed was required to slow down all the rapidly moving particles. Only with this could the particles be controlled properly, allowing the reaction process toplete sessfully. This was indeed quite a hard issue to solve. However, as far as Chen Feng was concerned, this did not even constitute a problem!

    Gene reaction? Particles? Moving too rapidly?

    Chen Feng became excited. "Let me give it a try."

    He directly gave up on Wu Yaotian¡¯s final form and instead chose to use the initial form that Wu Yaotian had given up on back then, as Wu Yaotian had believed it to be a form that could never be produced sessfully.

    That discarded form with 76 types of different materials.

    Chen Feng¡¯s emotions surged. "Come!"

    Regardless of what problem it was, as long as it was something that could be affected by probability, it would cease to be a problem for him.

    Shua!

    Luck Aura, activated.

    Hum¡ª

    To solve the problem regarding the gene reaction and the duration of the reaction process, 10 luck value was deducted. Next, the gene reaction process began.

    After a long time, the violent-looking gene reagent started condensing midair before ultimately turning into a drop of ice-blue liquid.

    "This is..."

    Chen Feng was in ecstasy.

    Sess! Finally, I¡¯m sessful!

    Hum¡ª

    Gene scan!

    ----

    Name: Unknown (New Form)

    Difficulty: 5 stars

    ss: D

    Function: Forcefully increasing the user¡¯s spiritual energy by 1 point. Also applicable when breaking through one¡¯s limit (the effect will be weakened when used by those above C ss).

    ----

    A new form was thus birthed.

    That was not all. As this gene reagent of Chen Feng¡¯s had been sessfully produced in a normal environment, this gene reagent would remain stable in normal environments.

    He observed it for a whole five minutes and noted that nothing happened to the gene reagent. This gene reagent produced by Chen Feng was much more powerful than what Wu Yaotian hadpleted.

    Chen Feng had initially intended to enter his hyper-dimensional mode to reconstruct and further perfect the form. However, the feedback he¡¯d received from his Luck Aura was thus: 10,000 luck value required. This had shocked him immensely.

    That was simply too terrifying a number, and not something he would be able to attempt presently.

    Chen Feng contemted. "Seems like I can give it a try in the future, when Ie across more Spirit Sea wood."

    For performing such a feat where a huge amount of luck value would be required, it would only be something worth performing when he was in a situation where there was a huge amount of luck value overflowing out of him, like when he had absorbed the Spirit Sea wood previously. He was unsure if such a thing would ever happen to him again, though.

    As for now...

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Time to break through!"

    Gulp.

    The gene reagent was consumed. Noiselessly, that ice-blue drop of liquid started fusing with Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    Bang!

    A terrifying power erupted from within his body. His spiritual energy that had previously been stuck at the limit of D ss increased by one point, piercing through the limit, bringing him into C ss. Instantly, his spiritual energy transformed. This was a qualitative change of his spiritual energy after entering a new ss. He had entered C ss smoothly.

    Chen Feng was shocked. "I have truly broken through with it."

    As one¡¯s strength increased, there would be a point where it was simply impossible for gene reagents to help with breakthroughs. After all, every single breakthrough was in essence an act of violence. Even for those who had broken through using gene reagents, what they had done was essentially still using the gene reagent to create a huge impact to break through their limit, bringing them into the new ss.

    To perform this feat, a power that was tenfold or even a hundredfold one¡¯s own power would be required.

    Hence... it was a feat nearly impossible for gene reagents.

    Back then, Chen Feng had only been able to create a miracle while in F ss by creating the golden ant gene reagent, as that gene reagent itself was a unique existence.

    For higher levels, this was simply an impossible feat.

    E ss, D ss, all the breakthroughs for higher sses required a much higher amount of power, a power that was perhaps a hundredfold or even much higher than the power of the golden ant gene reagent. As such, this was something impossible for an ordinary person to aplish.

    Along with one¡¯s increase in strength, gradually, the difficulty would increase while the usage of gene reagents became impossible.

    But now, without any limit-surpassing training sessions, without any life and death crisis, a single drop of ice-blue liquid had helped him break through his limit. This was a miracle, a miracle created by Wu Yaotian.

    Shua!

    Once again, Chen Feng tried urging his spiritual energy on. He could easily feel that his perception was now even sharper than before, and his spiritual energy was much more powerful. This was the qualitative change of his spiritual energy after the breakthrough.

    Only one point had increased, but it was much more powerful now. This was what C ss represented.

    "Very good." Chen Feng clenched his fists tightly. The apocalypse-like "Star City Battle" was approaching. Only by increasing his strength without stop could he protect himself. As such, he would not give up on any single resource he could get.

    Producer excellence award!

    Mission rewards!

    Everything he could obtain, he would.

    Now, with the appearance of this new form, it would be able to push Chen Feng to a new height, giving him more resources, fame, and strength!

    "It¡¯s time for my next step, then," Chen Feng muttered.

    Now that he had broken through, he should focus on gene fusion.

    Only after fusing with a fusion gene reagent and obtaining his fourth gic ability would he be a true C ss.

    Chen Feng sank into contemtion. "Which gene should I fuse with?"

    First ability: Wind de.

    Wind de would be able to erupt in power at any time with the help of his luck value.

    Second ability: Myriad Illusions.

    An ability whose strength was demonstrated when used together with luck value and Wind des.

    Third ability: Energy Equipment.

    The core determiner of his Energy Equipment¡¯s strength was the amount and attribute of his Wind des. The unlimited Wind des he unleashed would provide him with an energy supply far exceeding what a person at his ss normally possessed.

    All these were the basis for Chen Feng¡¯s ability to challenge those of a higher ss than him.

    Every single one of his abilities had only been selected after careful consideration, in order to increase his strength.

    If so, his fourth ability...

    "ng!"

    Suddenly, the door to hisboratory opened.

    Wu Hui charged into theboratory while gasping for breath and said, "N-not good."

 Chapter 281: To Reduce or Not to Reduce

    Chapter 281: To Reduce or Not to Reduce

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng sunk into a solemn mood."What happened?" Could it be that the Star City Battle had been brought forward?

    Wu Hui was anxious. "They... they are cancelling your qualifications topete in the excellence award."

    "Producer excellence award?" Chen Feng regained his calm and proceeded to pour a cup of tea for Wu Hui. "Don¡¯t be in a rush. Calm down and talk slowly. You can be considered as someone who has been in a major situation before. Why the heck are you being all anxious over this small incident?"

    Wu Hui felt ashamed. "All right." After regaining his calm, he continued talking. "Senior Hou Liang told me to inform you that headquarters has received a huge amount ofints."

    "What¡¯s the point of those?" Chen Feng was curious. What a joke. Ifining was truly effective, thatpany called Tencent in his previous life on earth would have been shut down long ago. Chen Feng was a member of the Gic Union and also a genius that had made outstanding contributions to them. Who dared to seek trouble with him? A normal producer wouldn¡¯t be able to touch him! Someone capable of making Hou Liang say these words...

    "Did something else happen?" Chen Feng asked knowingly.

    "Mhm." Wu Hui whispered, "Based on thetest news, there was one particr producer whomitted suicide after failing to obtain what he wanted from the loot box."

    ???

    Chen Feng was stupefied.

    Suicide? Was this a joke? Even in his previous life, such thing had never happened! These people were all gic warriors cum producers; why were them so emotionally weak?

    "Furthermore," Wu Hui continued with a nk expression, "a lot of producers started using some special methods to obtain contribution points. When they were caught, they said the reason they had done so was in order to obtain contribution points to buy those loot boxes. On top of that, there¡¯s a particr 16-year-old female producer that went through a transaction to perform a deed that should not be mentioned just to get contribution points to purchase a loot box with." Wu Hui finished with a flushed face.

    ??

    Chen Feng nked.

    What was going on? In this era, as a gic warrior, shouldn¡¯t these people be quite formidable when it came to mental strength? Even in his previous life, things hadn¡¯t been so severe when loot boxes had been introduced. How had this happened in this world...

    Wu Hui finished saying what Hou Liang told him to say seriously, "Senior Hou Liang said that the repercussions are extremely severe. Hence... things might change."

    "Change..." Suddenly, Chen Feng came to a realization. He was sure that there had to be someone pulling the strings here. Was it Lan Jingling, the second ce holder? Or...

    Chen Feng checked the rankings and found with astonishment that, after a while of not paying attention to it, the second ce holder had already changed. The producer called You Fang that had initially been at third ce had overtaken her and grabbed the second ce in a short few days.

    Moreover, his points were also quite far above Lan Jingling¡¯s points.

    Indeed... tsk. Can¡¯t these guys stop looking for trouble for once?

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "This guy..." After thinking about it, Chen Feng turned on hismunication tool.

    A big and simple-minded-looking head appeared on his screen. "Yo, Chen Feng."

    "It has been a while Lan Xing," Chen Feng said with a smile. "How have you been recently?"

    "Not bad, not bad," Lan Xing said while smiling. "Sister already gave up on fighting for first ce. I can see that your poprity is truly high above hers. Haha. But then again, you need to be careful for now. I heard that they are nning to do something again."

    "Oh?" Chen Feng was amazed. "You know of it?"

    "Naturally." Lan Xing curled his lips. "That crafty old man called You Fang has beening over to my sister¡¯s ce so frequently. If it wasn¡¯t out of respect for his old age, I would have beaten him to death long ago."

    Chen Feng: ....

    "All right, got it."

    By the time he ended the call, Chen Feng already had a guess as to what had happened.

    Frequently...

    It seemed like their agreement from before was going to be implemented now. In the beginning, Lan Jingling had obtained some research paper from You Fang in order to surpass Chen Feng. She had to have paid a huge price for that.

    Now, when Lan Jingling had finally given up on the first ce, You Fang was taking the opportunity to make his move.

    Research paper! You Fang had also obtained some imperfect research paper of Lan Jingling¡¯s beforebining the paper with his own paper to put out a brand new research paper for sale. Finally, he¡¯d surpassed Lan Jingling¡¯s points.

    As far as Lan Jingling was concerned, there wasn¡¯t really much difference between second or third ce.

    It was at this instant that You Fang had made his move.

    When it came to contribution points, it was simply impossible for them to surpass Chen Feng. Chen Feng¡¯s current contribution points were more than tenfold higher than the contribution points of both of thembined. Hence, there was simply no suspense in the race.

    This was the reason You Fang had decided to use such a sinister way to get Chen Feng out of the way, by creating trouble using various methods.

    The RNG nature of the loot boxes was already something widely criticized. With the inclusion of You Fang causing trouble everywhere, countless people started to go with the flow. That¡¯s right, a vast majority of the protestors were merely going along with the flow in an attempt to secure some benefits for themselves. They believed that it might be probable for Chen Feng to reduce the price to please them after the ruckus. This was what a lot of people believed.

    Subsequently... the whole incident had gone out of control. Finally, it had led to Hou Liang calling Wu Hui over in a rush to inform Chen Feng about this so that he could find a solution.

    Chen Feng sneered. "They are thinking of making me submit to them?"

    He was aware that there were quite a number of people waiting to see him make a spectacle out of himself.

    Price reduction? Sure. At this point, reducing the price wouldn¡¯t have any effect on him anyway. His current contribution points were already unsurpassable. He only needed to cancel the loot box method of selling his research paper, changing it to a regr sales method.

    Mhm... he shall be selling it at the original price of 588 contribution points. Everyone should be satisfied with that, then. Hence, as long as Chen Feng reduced the price, the whole incident would be solved perfectly.

    However, was it truly so simple?

    Chen Feng made up his mind. "I absolutely can¡¯t reduce the price."

    Wu Hui was at loss. "Why?"

    "Because that is what You Fang was aiming for," Chen Feng said calmly.

    What a sinister trap. If he refused to reduce the price, he might be disqualified from participating in the excellence award evaluation due to all sorts ofints and the negative effects brought forth by his loot boxes. However, if he reduced the price, he would be done for as well! Was price reduction something so simple to implement?

    Chen Feng was sure that, the moment he reduced the price, a huge amount of people would start a ruckus as well. For example, those who had previously invested a huge amount of resources to buy his loot boxes. These people had wasted several tens of thousands of contribution points previously, and now, the others only needed several hundred points to buy the research paper?

    Who wouldn¡¯t be furious at this? How many days had it been? Just looking at how far Chen Feng had surpassed Lan Jingling and You Fang by was sufficient to demonstrate the amount of contribution points the others had spent on his loot boxes. Wanting him to reduce the price now? Who were they trying to trick?

    If Chen Feng truly reduced the price, that would be the end of him.

    "What should we do then?" Wu Hui was horrified. This world of adults felt iparably terrifying for him.

    "That¡¯s simple." An ice-cold smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "He wants to force my hand, right? Well, I will grant his wish, then..."

    Currently, somewhere in Star City.

    "I have now repaid what I owe you." Lan Jingling had handed over the iplete research papers that she owed You Fang from when he¡¯d given her his research paper back then. You Fang merely needed to slightly alter these research papers and they would all be ready for sale.

    You Fang¡¯s face appeared to be glowing. "All right."

    After Lan Jingling and Chen Feng had fought with each other, he merely needed to step in at thest minute to reap the rewards. How was it possible for him to not be overjoyed? With his new research papers, he would absolutely be victorious.

    Lan Jingling shook her head as she advised, "Chen Feng... is not as simple as you think. I advise you to stick withpeting fairly using regr methods."

    You Fang merelyughed as a response. "Hehe."

    He was already at this age. If he still refused to fight for it, he would probably be too old to fight over any rewards after a few years. Hence, this year¡¯s excellence award was something he had to obtain. Besides that, there was also that trap he had prepared for Chen Feng...

    You Fang sneered. "Only after he has reduced the price will he be in the true trap prepared for him."

    It was at this instant that Lan Xing charged into the room in a rush. "Sister, something happened!"

    Lan Jingling frowned. "What happened?"

    Lan Xing finished his words instantly, "Chen Feng... Chen Feng dered that his loot box will stop selling."

    What?

    The expressions of You Fang and Lan Jingling changed instantly.

 Chapter 282: Newly Appointed Excellent Producer!

    Chapter 282: Newly Appointed Excellent Producer!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Stopped selling!

    Chen Feng¡¯s research paper had stopped its sale!

    Bang!

    The whole world was shaken by this news.

    Regardless of the amount of criticisms andints this research paper had received, all these only served to prove how popr this research paper of Chen Feng¡¯s was. This was a truly phenomenal research paper, something nothing couldpare to.

    However... stopped selling??? It had been directly stopped? This news was dropped like a bombshell on those who had yet to get what they wanted from the loot box.

    Shua!

    Countless people turned their screens on. At the page where Chen Feng¡¯s loot box had been sold previously, only these words were left: "Due to the series of negative incidents that happened recently, this research paper has received countlessints by producers. After taking into consideration the negative effect this research paper has had on society, it is hereby announced that this research paper will stop selling."

    ??

    Everyone was dumbstruck.

    As for those who had joined in on theints previously, they were all bewildered.

    God knew this would happen! Truly, they had only wanted Chen Feng to reduce the price. Even You Fang was stunned. Based on his n, if Chen Feng had reduced his price, those who had bought a lot of his loot boxes would definitely start creating a ruckus. He had never expected that Chen Feng would directly stop selling.

    This, this, this...

    "Which idiotined about this?"

    "Yeah!"

    "Come out here!"

    "I only joined everyone yesterday, and up till now, I only had the chance to buy 10 loot boxes so far!"

    "Same here, I have only gotten a single SSR-tier drop!"

    Everyone started discussing without stop.

    This was especially true for those who had spent a lot buying the loot boxes and were expecting their investment to be returned soon after obtaining what they wanted from the loot boxes. They were all iparably furious. The spear that had initially been aimed at Chen Feng was now pointed toward thoseiners.

    Once again, Chen Feng became a trending topic, trending thorough the world.

    Countlessints wereunched toward the headquarters of the Gene Production Association.

    This time, it was a truly huge amount ofints, much higher than the previous wave ofints. As for the contents of these newints, they were allining about those who hadined against Chen Feng the previous time. Even the Gene Production Association could not escape the fate of beingined about.

    Everyone was stunned. Those who had prepared to teach Chen Feng a lesson were copsing emotionally.

    He still had this trick up his sleeve?

    At every single branch of the Gene Production Association were a huge amount ofiners. The public image of Chen Feng that had initially reached rock bottom had, at this moment, started making aeback. Countless people were hoping for Chen Feng to start selling again.

    "Please start selling again!"

    "I won¡¯t mind even if the price is increased."

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, the only thing I want is a single SR-tier drop."

    Countless producers started ming online.

    Not everyone would be aiming for SSR-tier drop or aplete collection of all drops. An absolute majority of them only required some SR-tier drops, which in all honesty weren¡¯t particrly hard to obtain.

    Countless requests for the sale to be reinstated were sent to the headquarters.

    Toward all this, the Association felt helpless as well. Just earlier, they had all been discussing ways to deal with Chen Feng and ways to withdraw his qualification topete for the excellence award. Now, in the blink of eye, they had to instead beg Chen Feng to continue selling instead?

    This...

    At a certain location.

    "Isn¡¯t this a good thing for you?" a person said to You Fang.

    Chen Feng had stopped selling. Regardless of how huge an uproar it caused, this would settle down with time. This also signified that he would no longer be able to increase his contribution points.

    This would be You Fang¡¯s opportunity. If he started selling his research papers crazily, he might be able to overtake Chen Feng.

    Perhaps...

    You Fang was tempted. However, just as he raised his head to look at the rankings, his heart chilled. The Chen Feng¡¯s current contribution points were tenfold his own. Even if Chen Feng stopped gaining contribution points, it would still be impossible for You Fang to overtake him.

    You Fang felt bitter. "How did this happen..." Hence, the only way of for him to defeat Chen Feng was still to disqualify him?

    But how was he supposed to aplish that now? Chen Feng¡¯s identity was too unique. Previously, he had been nning to use public opinion to force Chen Feng a step back, but now, Chen Feng had unexpectedly stopped selling, and public opinion was now skewed in Chen Feng¡¯s favor.

    Even if he wanted to disqualify Chen Feng, it was no longer possible.

    You Fang¡¯s heart chilled. "It¡¯s over."

    After scheming for so long, a simple stop of sale by Chen Feng had spoiled all his schemes. Chen Feng had not only gained the public praise, toward the end, he would ultimately still obtain the excellence award.

    Someone beside him suddenly said, "There might still be some methods."

    You Fang¡¯s eyes shone. "Oh?"

    That person whispered, "There¡¯s an extremely simple method. It will depend on whether you, old man, are daring enough to do it."

    "What method is it?"

    "Conversion!"

    "Conversion?" You Fang¡¯s heart thumped.

    "That¡¯s right." That person beamed. "Contribution points are indeed something that can¡¯t be sold. However, the conversion between contribution points and cash is something that has always been happening at the ck market... Mhm, if purchasing research papers were used as the cover, it would be even easier to do."

    "ck market..." You Fang¡¯s heart trembled. That was a domain the Association was extremely prejudiced against. He was extremely aware of how scary this thing he was nning to do was. However, this was also the only method in which he could surpass Chen Feng¡¯s contribution points. Moreover, he was aware that a huge price would have to be paid to surpass Chen Feng. Perhaps his savings over several decades would all be exhausted for this.

    If he was able to obtain the excellence award...

    If he was able to be part of the management of the association...

    If his words started carrying a certain weight to them...

    At that time, if he were to start erasing any trace of what he had done secretly, no problem should arise. You Fang contemted before finally deciding to do it.

    "I don¡¯t know anyone from the ck market," You Fang said.

    "I know some, hehe... As long as I¡¯m promised amission of 10%, I will deal with everything for you." That personughed happily. Next, the transaction started progressing secretly.

    The next day, on the rankings, You Fang¡¯s contribution points started increasing rapidly.

    His score that had initially been far below Chen Feng started pressing in. Moreover, under their intentional control, You Fang¡¯s score was pressing forth at a steady pace with no sudden burst in the speed it was increasing at. Evidently, these people were all professionals at this.

    Currently, countless people were still creating a ruckus over Chen Feng¡¯s stop of sale. None of them had noticed You Fang¡¯s score that had increased.

    One day...

    Two days...

    Just as they reached thest day of the excellence award evaluation period, the initially first ce Chen Feng was overtaken. Once again, an uproar was created at Star City.

    Chen Feng was in second ce? You Fang was in first ce? Everyone was shaken.

    Only now did they realize that You Fang had quietly charged forth to grab first ce without anyone noticing.

    But his score...

    "Aren¡¯t his contribution points somewhat high?"

    "He has recently released several tens of research papers. Perhaps those were rted to his gain in contribution points?"

    Everyone started guessing.

    You Fang obtaining first ce was a major event. At the very least, it was major for the residents of Star City. It was said that, on that day itself, a countless amount of people went forth and started gifting You Fang with presents, wishing that he would take great care of them in the future, etc.

    As for You Fang, he had an extremely rosy expression on his face. This was worth it! After today, he would be the recipient of the excellence award! All those people such as Lan Jingling... Chen Feng...

    Afterpeting against each other for so long, hadn¡¯t You Fang still be the one who reaped the profit in the end? As such, when doing something, it was important to use one¡¯s brain.

    You Fang was feeling joyful and content.

    However, at ten sharp that night, two hours before the end of the evaluation period, Chen Feng released a new announcement: Recently, a huge amount ofints requesting for the sale to be reinstated have been received. Due to this, this research paper will temporarily start selling again. To thank everyone for their support all these while, a 24-hour limited promotion will begin.

    Bang!

    Right after this announcement, it caused a huge uproar.

    It was reinstated! Everyone was going crazy. When You Fang received this news, his eyes darkened, and he almost fainted then and there.

    It¡¯s over...

    This was the only thought in his mind.

    He had initially believed that Chen Feng had decided to stop his sale after the severe pressure he was receiving, but now that he looked at it, Chen Feng wasn¡¯t even the least bothered with the pressure previously exerted on him, still selling whenever he wished!

    As for the contribution points... You Fang watched on with desperation as the contribution points he¡¯d obtained using ten whole days were overtaken by Chen Feng in a mere ten minutes. They were simply yers of two different leagues!

    The supporters of Chen Feng¡¯s loot box that had been holding it in for so long were all going crazy. As they were afraid that Chen Feng would suddenly stop selling again, coupled with the fact that there was now a limited promotion going on, they started purchasing crazily. Everyone was going crazy.

    At 12 sharp, the evaluation period ended. Everything on the rankings vanished, leaving a single name behind: Chen Feng!

    The newly anointed excellent producer!

    Chapter 283: Celestial Defense System

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Excellent producer! This was an extremely unique identity. From now onward, Chen Feng would be shedding his identity as amoner and would be part of the association¡¯s management.

    Mhm... At the very least, he would have a vote and right to make his suggestions regarding various strategic decisions of the organization. This was the most important benefit of having this excellence award. Due to his young age, Chen Feng had also be the youngest excellent producer in history.

    "Sess."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. Now he would at least have some sort of influence when it came to pushing the Association¡¯s agenda toward certain events, such as the uing Star City Battle!

    That apocalypse-like scene had been reying in Chen Feng¡¯s brain without stop. The scene where the whole Star City was destroyed had caused his heart to thump furiously countless times.

    Chen Feng muttered, "Even if Senior Hou Liang has said that the association has already made some preparations, still..."

    Those who had never witnessed what he had seen would never be able to imagine how severe the situation was. The only thing the association could do was increase their vignce and prepare some defensive measures. A method truly capable of resisting against that cmity did not yet exist.

    An example would be the defensive system of Star City. Chen Feng had found a defensive system that was a huge energy barrier imitating the appearance of a celestial body that would envelope the whole of Star City. A defensive barrier possessing the ability to defend against and counterattack against all sorts of abilities, an existence said to possess the top-most defense.

    Chen Feng contemted as he studied the details regarding Star City¡¯s defense.

    The next day, as the Star City Conference was starting, the whole of Star City started bustling with noise. Only when something involved a strategic decision of great importance would the upper levels of Star City hold a conference to discuss it. This time around, the topic of their discussion was the loot box.

    Since Chen Feng was now already the recipient of the producer excellence award, they were hoping that he would be able to somewhat reduce the price. Countless people were looking forward to this.

    The conference started at ten sharp. Chen Feng had arrived early in the morning as well. The so-called Star City Conference was in actuality a gathering of everyone qualified to vote for strategic decisions before they started voting for or against the discussed strategic decisions.

    Finally, the decision would be made after the voting.

    All the members of the management and excellent producers would be eligible to participate in this. However, none of the excellent producers awarded during the previous years were here. For these people, unless there was something that interested them in the conference, they would simply not attend. Hence, although there was a huge number of people eligible for voting, the final number of voters would be around 20 or 30 people.

    Naturally, for this affair concerning Chen Feng¡¯s loot box, none of them were eligible to vote for it. This was something that could only be decided by Chen Feng himself. As such, they could only discuss it, rather than calling for a vote on it.

    Before long, the vice president and the rest entered the conference hall.

    Next, the conference officially began. Everyone first proceeded to wee Chen Feng¡¯s inclusion into the ranks of excellent producers before moving on with the hot "loot box incident."

    Shua!

    Almost everyone¡¯s gazended on Chen Feng.

    "All right, just reduce the price then," Chen Feng said indifferently.

    He wasn¡¯t particrly interested in the contribution points anyway. It was only something he had umted to obtain the excellence award. However, even if the price was reduced, he had to ascertain that it was done in a way that the old customers of his were not disheartened by the price reduction.

    "I will do it step by step," Chen Feng muttered. "Right now, it¡¯s still the 20% promotion period... After several days, I will permanently maintain the price at 20% promotion. After a while, the price reduction will be 50%.. .followed by 70%... then 90%... to achieve the price reduction goal."

    With this, the benefits of both his old and new customers would be protected.

    "Good."

    Everyone was overjoyed at this.

    "Many thanks."

    Now they found Chen Feng much more pleasing to their eyes.

    Chen Feng smiled bashfully.

    Soon they started discussing other strategic decisions. Everyone started voting. As for Chen Feng, he abstained from voting most of the time. The conference reached the end quickly.

    However, just as the conference was about to end, Chen Feng stood up suddenly.

    Chen Feng slowly said, "I have a proposal."

    What?

    Everyone widened their eyes.

    Proposal? What was he thinking of doing?

    "Chen Feng..." Hou Liang pulled Chen Feng down immediately. Had this child gone crazy?

    That¡¯s right. Although every participant of this conference had a right to propose something for everyone else to vote on, under normal circumstances, only the upper management, such as the vice president, would be the ones doing the proposing. It was quite rare for someone else to propose something.

    After all, the others did not possess the authority the higher management possessed. Hence, even after the proposal, it couldn¡¯t be said for sure that anyone else would agree with what was proposed.

    In the beginning, everyone would be making their respective proposals in excitement. However, after finding out that their proposals would always be rejected, as they were unable to obtain majority support, they would only give up on proposing.

    Unexpectedly... on his first day as an excellent producer, Chen Feng had decided to use this right of proposal.

    This guy was truly brave!

    "Oh?" The vice president looked at Chen Feng unhurriedly with an indescribable expression on his face. "Well, let¡¯s hear it, then."

    As everyone heard his words, they wiped their sweat. The president was in seclusion all year round. As such, the authority of Star City was normally in the hands of the vice president. After all these years, a vast majority of the management wereprised of his supporters.

    Proposal?

    Without obtaining his approval, no proposals would be approved.

    This was, after all, a sort of provocation toward the authority of the vice president. After all, back when the conference had first started, its purpose had been to keep the power of the president in check. This was the true purpose of the existence of this conference.

    However, as time had passed, it had be how it was currently. Although there were a huge amount of excellent producers, they were generally apathetic people who were not bothered with affairs that did not affect them. As such, the conference hadpletely failed to keep the bnce of power in check. At the very most, these excellent producers would only vote asionally to affect some minor decisions.

    Chen Feng proposed his idea. "I hope that Star City will be able to deploy the Celestial Defense System as soon as possible."

    Shua!

    Light swirled.

    He started exining. Using various information he had¡ªsome of which was bogus, some genuine¡ªhe started talking about various terrifying scenarios that might happen during the uing attack against Star City by the Mysterious Organization.

    "In conclusion, I hope that we can deploy the Celestial Defense System as soon as possible," Chen Feng said calmly.

    Celestial Defense System?

    That thing... if what Chen Feng said was true and the Mysterious Organization indeed possessed some methods of attack specifically designed for Star City, it was quite a reliable idea to have the Celestial Defense System installed.

    Moreover, even without any crisis, there wouldn¡¯t be any disadvantages to upgrading their defense system anyway.

    "I find this to be eptable."

    "Feasible."

    "Surprisingly, his idea is quite eptable."

    Everyone started discussing.

    Right at this instant, the vice president started talking slowly. "I have two questions."

    Chen Feng looked at him. "Please say what you have in mind."

    "First, how is this Mysterious Organization capable of possessing the power to destroy Star City? An organization that has been suppressed by us to the point where they can only hide everywhere like a rat, what is there to be afraid of?

    "Second, activation of the Celestial Defense System requires the cooperation of the Gic Union as well. A huge amount of manpower and resources, and funds in the billions, are required. Where should this moneye from, then? The reserve fund of Star City? If we were to use up the reserve fund, the progress of development in gene production at Star City will have at least a 200% reduction in speed." The vice president finished his words indifferently. Everyone else sunk into silence. Only two points of his had negated almost everything Chen Feng had suggested.

    The basis of Chen Feng¡¯s argument was the threat posed by the Mysterious Organization. However, at his very first sentence, the vice president had this threat negated. As for all the things he¡¯d said subsequently, such as funds and the like, none of those were important.

    In short, the vice president was totally against this idea. The others exchanged nces and made their decision shortly after.

    Soon, some of them started speaking out.

    "I reject this proposal."

    "I reject this proposal as well."

    However, as this was something Chen Feng had proposed toward the end of the conference, a long time was required for everyone to discuss this. As such, the final voting was dyed.

    The vice president announced the end of today¡¯s conference. "Since the discussion has yet to end, we will continue tomorrow."

    Soon, everyone left. What had happened during the conference was spread to the public, causing a huge sensation.

    Had Chen Feng gone crazy? This was the first thought everyone had.

    Hou Liang shook his head helplessly. "See."

    "No worries."

    Chen Feng merely smiled at this bureaucracy. The only reason he had made his proposal at the end of the conference was so that the final vote could be dyed.

    As for tomorrow?

    Hehehehe...

    Chen Feng smiled profoundly. "Don¡¯t worry, there will be people agreeing with my proposal."

    Hou Liang smiled bitterly. "How is that possible?"

    He had been here for several decades. As such, he had a deeper understanding of how things were done around herepared to Chen Feng.

    Out of all the people from the management eligible for voting, 80% of them were from the vice president¡¯s faction. As for the rest, they might not necessarily support Chen Feng either. Hence, Chen Feng simply had zero hope of seeding in his proposal.

    Picture this situation: If Chen Feng¡¯s proposal was approved, what would happen if the others decided to start making their own proposals as well?

    Or perhaps... one day, someone might decide to do away with the vice president¡¯s post?

    This was the main reason the vice president would not relinquish his grasp of power on the conference. He would not hand over the power capable of deciding his fate to some excellent producer!

    The only right those excellent producers needed to have was the right to vote. That would be sufficient. This was the vice president¡¯s bottom line.

    The night passed quietly.

    Chen Feng¡¯s proposal had also caused quite an incident. Everyone was thinking that Chen Feng was akin to a newborn calf that was unaware of the tiger¡¯s horror. Or perhaps he was simply unaware of the unwritten rules around here.

    "He is, after all, too young..."

    "True."

    "Well, he will wake up from his illusion tomorrow."

    "As a genius, he indeed needs more life experience."

    Everyone discussed calmly.

    The next day, the conference reopened to continue the discussion.

    However, shocking everyone present, just as the conference started, they discovered that there were around 40 to 50 excellent producers present in this conference.

    Their amount was so huge the conference hall couldn¡¯t fit them all.

    "What happened?"

    The vice president had an ominous feeling.

 Chapter 284: Everything Is Changing

    Chapter 284: Everything Is Changing

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the Star City Conference, the discussion of a certain proposal was progressing. The conference hall that had always been rather empty was currently filled with numerous people. There were even some who were standing due to a shortage of seats. Everyone else, the vice president included, was bewildered. They had never imagined a day woulde where this room would be filled to the point that people needed to stand because of a shortage of seats!

    "Should we change into a bigger hall?" proposed the vice president.

    "Nope."

    "I¡¯m fine standing."

    An old producer smiled as he said, "Let¡¯s get this started. After it¡¯s over, I will be going back."

    Vice president: "..." Why the heck are all these old men here sticking their nose into this conference?

    Why had these people appeared here? No one knew the answer. The vice president had a faint feeling that this was rted to Chen Feng. Unfortunately, though, he did not have the guts to chase these people away. Apart from that weirdo Chen Feng, anyone else capable of receiving the excellence award would be a person of a terrifying identity. Regardless of their production level or background, all were top notch. None of this was something a vice president like him could shake.

    "Then... let¡¯s begin the conference." The vice president inhaled deeply before continuing, "Pertaining to the deployment of the Celestial Defense System at Star City, I believe everyone has already made up their mind on this. Now, let us start voting. Those agreeing with the deployment of the Celestial Defense System¡ª"

    Just as the vice president started talking.

    "I agree!"

    "I agree!"

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    A huge bunch of hands were raised as a sign of agreement.

    Ten...

    Twenty...

    Thirty...

    As for the producers standing around due to seat shortage, almost every single one of them had their hands raised as well. As for the other excellent producers that were only here was spectators, they raised their hand to join in the crowd without hesitation as well when they witnessed this scene.

    Finally, a total of 40 votes were umted in favor of deployment. The vice president¡¯s eyes darkened.

    It passed! The proposal was passed just like that!

    He looked at himself and the 20-odd people in his faction, and his heart chilled. He had actually been defeated by an excellent producer like Chen Feng.

    Nobody was aware of the reason these excellent producers had agreed with Chen Feng¡¯s proposal. One had to know that, in every year¡¯s excellence award, every single recipient of the award was the one with the highest contribution points. These were the people who had depended on their umtion and background to fight over the top position. As such, these excellent producers here were all unrted to each other. Some were even those of opposing factions. If so, how had they reached this agreement?

    It was totally unknown.

    An old producer impatiently asked the vice president, "Is it done?"

    "Yes, it¡¯s done." The vice president smiled bitterly as he announced, "The proposal for the deployment of the Celestial Defense System has been approved. It will be carried out starting from today."

    Perhaps... Chen Feng made up some crisis to persuade these excellent producers? the vice president guessed.

    These old producers were all people who had reached great heights, hadrge families, and led businesses. As such, all of them were extremely afraid of the prospect of death. If Chen Feng was able to describe the crisis in an extremely horrifying way, it was quite probable they would be persuaded. Hence, these old men had all decided toe here for a vote.

    Mhm... this is most probably what happened, the vice president thought to himself.

    However, right at this instant, after he agreed with the implementation of Chen Feng¡¯s proposal, all the excellent producers started leaving.

    Instantly, the conference hall appeared empty once again.

    The vice president¡¯s expression darkened.

    Evidently, all of them had only been here to vote for Chen Feng¡¯s proposal, only here to support Chen Feng. They had not even bothered to give the vice president face and pretend to stay an extra minute here after the vote was done.

    The vice president was ashen faced. "This is too excessive..."

    The vice president looked toward Chen Feng. As for the history¡¯s youngest excellent producer, Chen Feng, he merely smiled faintly, as if everything was under his control.

    The vice president narrowed his eyes. This guy...

    Soon, the conference ended.

    The news of the Celestial Defense System passing the vote had all of Star City shocked.

    "It passed?"

    "How is that possible..."

    "How is that not possible? I heard that almost half the current existing excellent producers left their seclusion to give Chen Feng a vote of support."

    "God, Chen Fengmands such a level of support?"

    "How powerful!"

    "Is this a form of protest by those old producers? Hmph. If the vice president persists in his ways, perhaps in the next conference, he might even get the vice president post removed altogether..."

    "That¡¯s very probable."

    Everyone started discussing without stop.

    They felt that everything had suddenly changed. The vice president¡¯s sole monopoly on power had been defeated by Chen Feng just like that. This was truly too terrifying.

    "A mere excellent producer actually possessed such a capability..."

    Countless people shivered at this thought. The capability demonstrated by Chen Feng was simply too dreadful. Among them, what shocked everyone the most and piqued their curiosity the most was the method Chen Feng had employed to have all these excellent producers vote in his favor.

    One had to know that these were a group of people from different factions, some of them from factions opposing each other. This was what everyone knew. On that very day, countless people started visiting those old producers in hopes of getting a clue.

    None of them managed to obtain any information. It wasn¡¯t long before there was no longer any need for them to try to find that out, though. On the next day, as rumors were still flying everywhere as everyone tried guessing the reason, a single announcement shocked everyone.

    Thetest gene reagent created by Chen Feng had been certified and was about to be released for sale soon. The name of the gene reagent: heaven-dazzling gene reagent!

    "Gene reagent?"

    "It¡¯s not a research paper?"

    "He can even sell this thing?

    "Oh, I heard that Chen Feng actually has his own shop."

    "Is that so?"

    Everyone was confused.

    Only a gene reagent?

    One had to know that if it was a research paper he had released, it would have been something everyone could study. As for an item like a gene reagent, it was something a majority of the people might not even require, especially for the members of the Gene Production Association. What a joke. Were there any gene reagents the Gene Production Association was incapable of producing? Was there a need for them to purchase any gene reagents?

    Moreover, gene producers rarely get involved inbat situations. As such, what was the use of those gene reagents for them? Besides, the Gene Production Association was essentially an association that focused on the sale of gene reagents instead of the purchase of gene reagents.

    As such, they have no need for any gene reagents. What was so special about the gene reagent Chen Feng was selling?

    However, these thoughts only remained in their heads for one single hour. When they obtained the details regarding Chen Feng¡¯s gene reagent from the certification center, the whole world stirred.

    ----

    Name: Heaven-Dazzling Gene Reagent

    Difficulty: 5 stars

    ss: D

    Function: Forcefully increases spiritual energy by 1 point. Also applicable when breaking through one¡¯s limit (the effect will be weakened when used by those above C ss).

    ----

    "This..."

    "God!"

    "How could such a thing exist?"

    Countless people were shocked.

    Limit breakthrough! For C ss! Such a thing actually existed in this world!?

    For producers, what was the hardest feat for them? Breaking through! Not only did they need to spend a huge amount of time studying gene production, they also needed to spare some time to increase their strength as well. However, as gene producers were generally withoutbat power, strength increase was an extremely difficult feat for them. Even more so for limit breakthrough.

    Such a gene reagent was something whose existence was almost impossible.

    There were a huge amount of producers that were stuck as advanced-level producers for their whole lives because they were limited by their ss, yet now Chen Feng had casually tossed out a gene reagent... a gene reagent that, interestingly, happened to be a gene reagent capable of breaking one through into C ss, the minimum ss an advanced producer required to be a master producer.

    What did this signify? This signified that those who had been stuck as advanced-level producers for many years could now take this leap forward to be a true master producer! From then on, their identity would be different! From then on, their strength would increase!

    An upgrade from advanced producer to master producer was a transformation in the truest sense.

    "Such an item..."

    Everyone¡¯s heart trembled.

    The significance of this thing here was far higher to the Gene Production Associationpared to those warriors at the Gic Union. It was very probable that this single gene reagent of Chen Feng¡¯s would bring about a huge upgrade to the strength of the Gene Production Association as a whole.

    "Everything is going to change."

    This was what everyone thought.

 Chapter 285: The Fourth Gene

    Chapter 285: The Fourth Gene

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The next day, at The Strongest Gene shop in the virtualmunity, this small shop that had been gradually forgotten by the masses officially began selling the heaven-dazzling gene reagent. The sale was limited to three per day. This was the result of Chen Feng¡¯s consideration after passing the certification for this gene reagent.

    Three gene reagents per day might be able to somewhat satisfy the market demand, but surprising everyone, all three sets of this gene reagent were sold at an extremely expensive price. The price sensationalized the whole world.

    "This is crazy."

    "This price..."

    "It went over ten million just like that?"

    Everyone was bewildered. They had never imagined that a gene reagent could reach such a price. However, even at this price, the demand still wildly exceeded the supply for this gene reagent. It was said that all three gene reagents released on that day were purchased by some resellers.

    Chen Feng and the heaven-dazzling gene reagent became the two terms that were trending worldwide. The wave that was Chen Feng¡¯s name, which had calmed since thepetition back then, was once again raging, his name bing known worldwide.

    However, at this moment where his name seemed to be all the rage, Chen Feng was hiding in seclusion. He had no other choice. The amount of gene reagents he owed others were truly too high in amount. For example, those old brothers that had voted for his proposal at the conference.

    Although these people had no use for this gene reagent, it was different for their descendants. That was also the reason they all hade out and voted for Chen Feng¡¯s proposal. After seven whole days in seclusion, Chen Feng finally managed to produce enough of this gene reagent to pay his debts.

    As of now, the legend of the heaven-dazzling gene reagent started spreading. Along with that, Wu Yaotian became a figure of legends among the masses. Wu Hui was extremely grateful for this. He was aware that this was a gift to him by Chen Feng.

    Wu Hui clenched his fists. "Master..."

    Surprising everyone, at this moment, an odd piece of news started spreading. It was actually the objection of the Wu family that believed that Chen Feng had stolen Wu Yaotian¡¯s form.

    Ah???

    Wu Hui was at a loss.

    Wu family? What Wu family?

    When further investigation was done on this, they found with astonishment that these were the rtives of Wu Hui, the bunch of people that had previously bullied Wu Hui terribly. This bunch of people had appeared.

    "These guys..." Wu Hui¡¯s killing intent surged. These were the same bunch of people that had been causing a disturbance at their family the first instant his father had perished.

    "You feel like killing someone?" Chen Feng asked toyingly.

    Wu Hui¡¯s gaze was sharp. "Yes!"

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "Go, then. However, before that, there is something that you need to do."

    Wu Hui raised his head nkly. "Ah?"

    A sinister smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "Something that should have been done long ago..."

    He was simply filled with anticipation for that thing.

    The next day, just as the Wu family¡¯s rtives were raising their objections, outside of everyone¡¯s expectations, a video was released. It was released at thebat forum and had an astonishing title.

    "Wu Hui, Son of Wu Yaotian: The Genius Youngster, a True Demonic Murderer!"

    What?

    Everyone opened the video with curiosity.

    What they saw was a seemingly ordinary recording of a battle. However, the instant the video started ying, the intense killing intent from the recorded scene felt like it was leaking out of the video itself. That intense killing intent seemingly condensed in the sky, akin to the arrival of an apocalypse.

    An ice-cold voice echoed, "Cosmic Manifestation, first form..."

    The air trembled. From the horizon, a pitch-ck aura gleamed without stop before a terrifying ck sword appeared, seemingly piercing through the horizon to descend upon this world from the heavens.

    Bang!

    The viewers were almost shaken out of the video they were watching.

    "I am Wu Hui..."

    "I once killed an A ss..."

    "This is the first form..."

    "Cosmic Manifestation, second form: Demonic Asura Hatchet!"

    "I have a hatchet originating from the Asura Domain. Apanying this hatchet is the power to corrode the universe and the might to crush mountains. Every single sh with this hatchet disintegrates space itself. The instant this Demonic Asura Hatchet is unleashed, it will not return without first tasting blood."

    ...

    The indifferent voice echoed.

    Every single time Wu Hui moved, heaven and earth trembled.

    Second form...

    Third form...

    Every single time he attacked, rivers of blood were created.

    Those formidable B-ss gic warriors were killed by him!

    Shua!

    Light swirled around as the video finally ended.

    The bone-piercing chill startled all the viewers awake.

    It was also at this instant that they discovered that their backs were already drenched with sweat as of an unknown point in time. Only now did the masses realize that the strongest person in the Wu family was not Wu Yaotian; rather, it was Wu Hui.

    The most eye-catching genius of the Wu family was actually this youth.

    "He¡¯s only 14 years old?"

    "Killing an A ss at 14 years old?"

    Everyone eximed in admiration.

    That scene with rivers of blood was etched into their brains. Along with the sale of the heaven-dazzling gene reagent, as the poprity of Wu Yaotian peaked, Wu Hui¡¯s appearance created an even bigger uproar.

    Henceforth, Wu Hui the Demonic King was known worldwide.

    Under Chen Feng¡¯s intentional dissemination, the video of Wu Hui¡¯s battle spread far and wide. Almost everyone formed their impression of him: "Wu Hui is very powerful. Extremely powerful, at least an A-ssbatant!"

    Wu Hui was extremely nervous. "Master..."

    "Go." Chen Feng patted his shoulder. "Now everyone has a preformed impression of you. You can go back without worry now. Wu family, hehe..."

    Wu Hui was grateful. "Yes."

    Chen Feng reminded him, "Remember! Don¡¯t tell anyone the truth of your ability. As long as no one knows about it, you are undefeatable! Oh right, remember to record more of your battles. The recordings of those scenes with a terrifying atmosphere can be used to create a virtual video to remind everyone of your strength. Only with this can you be even stronger."

    "All right."

    Wu Hui left.

    With the return of this youngster enveloped in the demonic aura of a genius, those clowns at the Wu family would most probably be huddled together while they trembled in fear.

    Chen Feng stretchedzily. "Finally, I¡¯m done with the busy tasks."

    The Celestial Defense System was already deployed and would be ready in a month. At that time, Star City would finally possess a certain degree of defensive power. Chen Feng did not need to worry about any sudden attacks that would directly destroy Star City anymore. Wu Hui¡¯s affair was settled as well. Next... he could finally proceed with his personal affairs.

    Gene fusion!

    Chen Feng concentrated his gaze on the C-ss gene reagents list.

    With his current status, 80% of the database of Star City was avable to him. He could easily obtain all the information pertaining to C-ss fusion gene reagents.

    Wind de, Myriad Illusions, Energy Equipment...

    What should the fourth ability be?

    Chen Feng sunk into contemtion.

    Due to the existence of his unlimited Wind des, his Energy Equipment was extremely formidable. He was currently well equipped for both defense and offense. Apart from that, he also possessed a capability to skip sses and battle those of higher sses to a certain degree.

    Based on the difference of their attributes, for him to battle someone of a higher ss, the minimum requirement was that the opponent¡¯s power not exceed his power by tenfold.

    The tenfold here did not refer to merely ten times his attributes. Rather, it was tenfold his power. For example, if his opponent were using an ability that multiplied hisbat power by two, Chen Feng would require abat power equivalent to a C-ss¡¯s power multiplied by 20 in order to contend against this opponent.

    Chen Feng analyzed. "The amplification effect of Energy Equipment is 500%... If I use unlimited Wind des as the energy supply, I might be able to amplify my power by tenfold. If Myriad Illusionary Wind de are used to obtain a property that my opponent is weak against, I might be able to double the effect of my power."

    Based on this calction, he might have a chance of victory against someone who had newly advanced into B ss. Naturally, this would be limited to a B ss without any gic abilities with a power amplification of more than 200%.

    As for a veteran B ss, he could casually used some gic abilities with an amplification of 300% or 500% or some random secret art and Chen Feng would be directly defeated.

    Skipping sses was simply a feat that would be harder the higher a person¡¯s ss was.

    Chen Feng rubbed his head. "I am still too weak..."

    His n to charge into A ss before the Star City battle was somewhat unreliable. Moreover, it was quite probable that the A ss that he reached in a rush might not be too formidablebat power-wise due to the haste in his advancement. If that were the case, things would be worse for him. Hence, after thinking about it, Chen Feng decided to put his focus on increasing his actualbat power to A ss rather than actually reaching A ss. This seemed to be a more rational path for him to take.

    However, a casual attack by an A ss would be a hundredfold stronger than a regr C ss. A regr gic ability wouldn¡¯t help if he wanted to reach such a level.

    He did not possess a unique bloodline like what Wu Hui possessed.

    How should he increase hisbat power, then? What was the gic ability capable of this?

    Chen Feng started speed-reading the data of countless gene reagents.

    Wind?

    Fire?

    Water?

    Lighting?

    All these properties were capable of bringing a formidablebat power to his Energy Equipment. However, after contemtion, Chen Feng rejected all these, as these were properties that Myriad Illusions would be able to provide him anyway. When Myriad Illusionary Wind de was used to assemble Energy Equipment, the Energy Equipment would be of the most optimal property to face the opponent he was facing. That was also the strongest aspect of his Energy Equipment and the basis of Chen Feng¡¯sbat power.

    "Filter all property-based amplification gic abilities."

    Shua!

    Eighty percent of the list Chen Feng was reading disappeared.

    Chen Feng raised his head and focused on the remaining abilities on the list.

    Gravity...

    Space...

    What remained were some formidable and rare abilities.

    Naturally, due to the unique usage of these abilities, thebat power of these abilities was somewhat weakpared to a regr property-based ability. There was a gap of at least threefold inbat power.

    For example, the gravity-controlling ability. When this ability was used by itself, it would only be able to weakly affect gravity. Only when this ability was used as the core with otherplementing gic abilities to form a secret art would it unleash its true power. For a person like Chen Feng who would not be able to use any proper secret arts due to his existing gic abilities, such gic abilities weren¡¯t particrly useful.

    Increasingbat power...

    Challenging those of higher sses...

    Chen Feng skimmed through the list speedily. However, he could not find any gic abilities he was satisfied with. A vast majority of these abilities required someplementing gic abilities to unleash their true power.

    Suddenly, he nked.

    Wait. To defeat the enemy, increasing hisbat power was not the only way to go about it. If he was able to weaken his enemy...

 Chapter 286: Nethergaze

    Chapter 286: Nethergaze

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Shua!

    Once again, Chen Feng concentrated on the data of the C-ss fusion gene reagents. Soon, he locked onto a particr gene reagent.

    ----

    Death Lion Gene Reagent

    ss: C

    Difficulty: 4 stars

    Type: Fusion gene reagent

    Effect: Obtain the Nethergaze gic ability

    Function: Activates the eye of theherworld to analyze the rules of the opponent¡¯s energy and seek the opponent¡¯s fatal weak point. If the opponent¡¯s weak point is sessfully hit, the user¡¯s power will be amplified tenfold. Depending on the gap between the strength of the user and the opponent, the time taken for the analysis will differ.

    Secret artbination: Not yet discovered.

    ----

    Nethergaze! An extremely powerful gic ability. This was a different type of ability than Wind de, Myriad Illusions, and Energy Equipment, which were all energy-based attacking abilities. Nethergaze was a pure support gic ability that was able to help one unleash an extremely formidablebat power.

    An amplifier of tenfold signified that this ability alone would enable one to challenge an opponent one ss higher than the user.

    This was an extremely powerful support ability. However, the amount of users of this ability was quite low in amount. The reason for this was quite simple: this was an ability without any secret artbinations.

    The death lion gene reagent did not work well with other gene reagents.

    In other words...

    The moment one fused with this gic ability, they would obtain a lone independent gic ability that would not work together with one¡¯s other gic abilities.

    One would lose the chance to obtain countless secret arts of one¡¯s ss. This would result in the user of this gic ability having a secret art that would forever be one star lower than the secret arts of others.

    For example, at a ss where everyone else would possess a 4-star secret art, a user of Nethergaze would only have a 3-star secret art. When others were using 5-star secret arts, the user would only possess a 4-star secret art. This would create a disparity between them. The difference between secret arts with a one-star difference was as wide as the ocean.

    Hence, despite how powerful this ability was, the number of users of this ability was extremely low in amount. A vast majority of people were not willing to waste one of their gic ability slots to obtain a pure support gic ability that would only work by itself.

    However, for Chen Feng, this was the best ability for him, as he was a person who did not require any sort of secret art or gene armament.

    "Fatal weak point..."

    Chen Feng focused on this ability¡¯s description. Before fusing with this ability, he wanted to see the ability¡¯s actual effect and find out more about the difference in analysis time depending on the gap in strength between the two parties...

    Shua!

    Chen Feng started studying the internal database of Star City.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Countless data appeared on his screen without stop. This was a special benefit for the excellence award holders. One after another, reports pertaining to this ability appeared.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng opened these reports.

    Hum¡ª

    Light swirled around him as Chen Feng entered the virtual video.

    This was the basic requirement for one who was testing a gic ability. During the initial test, it would be automatically recorded to help with data gathering and future tests.

    In the video, a C-ss middle-aged man appeared. In front of him was a C-ss android.

    Bang!

    The battle started.

    It could be clearly seen that the middle-aged man was at a disadvantage in this battle. Facing an android with off-the-chartsbat power, he was simply powerless.

    Right at that instant.

    Hum¡ª

    The middle-aged man¡¯s eyes started glowing a bizarre tint of green.

    Nethergaze, activated!

    Shua!

    The whole world seemingly turned ash-green in color.

    Before his eyes was the android whose body was enveloped by a dazzling radiance, which represented the android¡¯s energy. Apart from that, numerous odd lines that were seemingly rted to the android could be seen on its body as well.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Amidst the dazzling radiance, the middle-aged man continued the battle. His eyes glowed with a bizarre ash-green glow and locked onto the android.

    From the middle-aged man¡¯s point of view, a bizarre ash-green crosshair was locked onto the android. The crosshair was formed of three different halos and could be seen rotating without stop while the android was locked onto.

    Finally, the android¡¯s fatal weak point was locked onto.

    Shua!

    The radiance of the ash-green crosshair intensified.

    Now!

    Bang!

    The middle-aged man that had been at a disadvantage all along suddenly erupted and aimed straight at the android¡¯s chest. Toward the initially iparably solid chest of the android, he unleashed his strongest attack.

    Bang!

    The terrifying attack erupted in power, and the android started defending itself in a well-practiced manner. Based on the data it had gathered regarding this opponent during the battle, such an attack would not be able to prate its defenses.

    However...

    Bang!

    That terrifying attack actually ignored everything and, with tenfold power and eruption, bombarded straight toward the android.

    The middle-aged man that had initially been somewhat weaker than the android had erupted with an extremely powerful attack, unleashing a power that could even challenge those of a higher ss and insta-killed the android.

    Shua!

    The battle ended.

    The scene before Chen Feng returned to reality.

    Chen Feng was shaken. "This is the so-called fatal weak point?"

    He was sure that, when the android had been locked onto by the ability, all the defensive abilities of the android had still been working normally. However, that attack had still worked against the android.

    This signified that this ability was not a pure physical attack. Rather, it was an ability that existed outside of the rules, an ability capable of ignoring the rules of nature and ignoring defenses¡ªan extremely terrifying ability!

    Naturally, the time required for lockdown and analysis was somewhat long...

    Chen Feng yed a different video. "How about the others..."

    This time, it was the same C-ss middle-aged man against a B-ss opponent. The time taken for the analysis toplete increased greatly. Three whole minutes were required for the analysis to bepleted. After the analysis was done, the middle-aged man erupted with a single powerful attack and injured the B-ss enemy.

    That¡¯s right, he only sessfully injured the enemy. Next, he was defeated by the enemy.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Due to the fact that this middle-aged man had fused with this gic ability, hisbat power was alreadyparatively weaker than other C-ss warriors, and he still needed to struggle for three whole minutes against a B ss before his analysis waspleted? If this wasn¡¯t a test, he would have probably been killed by his enemy.

    Apart from that, even if the analysis waspleted and tenfold power was unleashed... Mhm...so what?

    Therefore, the test concluded that it was a nearly impossible feat for one to use this ability to challenge a person of a higher ss.

    "The test result is still trustable," Chen Feng muttered. After he finished studying the data, he was even more resolute in his decision to choose Nethergaze as his ability. The only reason for this was because this ability was simply toopatible with him.

    Issues such as weakbat power among those in the same ss were nonexistent factors for him. He was sure that he had zero fear against any enemy that was in the same ss as him. The only foes he had a problem dealing with presently were those enemies that were way more powerful than him. For this specific issue, Nethergaze would be able to help him aplish what he wanted.

    He was sure that, with his strength, he would not even require a full three minutes toplete the lockdown. Furthermore, this set of data he¡¯d read was only applicable for a regr version of this ability. If the gene reagent was mutated...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes started shining. He had been saving his luck value for quite a while. This was what he had been waiting for.

    Shua!

    He took out all the data pertaining to the death lion gene reagent: "Death lion gene reagent is a gene reagent produced from the genes of a terrifying C-ss mutated beast called a death lion. This is beast that resides at a unique location known as the Nether Capital, which also happens to be a forbidden area."

    "Forbidden area?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped as he continued reading.

    "Nether Capital used to be an extremely popr city. One day, an unforeseen event happened and every single life form there was killed in a single night, turning the city into a ghost town."

    Rmended explorer¡¯s ss: ???

    Rate of exploration: 5%

    Description: An A-ss gic warrior and a huge amount of B-ss gic warriors were deployed here by the Gic Union in the past. However, due to the permanent corrosive damage dealt to their body when they stepped into this area, only 5% of the area was explored before those gic warriors left hastily. From then onward, this became a forbidden area none dared to enter. With the passing of time, some unique mutated beasts possessing bizarre gic abilities were birthed here. asionally, some of these beasts would wander out of this area, giving people the chance to capture them. One such mutated beast is the death lion.

    "In conclusion... there¡¯s no need to enter. I only need to wander outside this area and there will be a chance of me capturing a death lion?"

    Chen Feng was tempted.

 Chapter 287: Have You Seen Thoseâ€¦

    Chapter 287: Have You Seen Those...

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Nether Capital. This was quite a peculiar ce. When Chen Feng reached the area near this ce on an Ironcloud, what entered his sight was a city enveloped by dark clouds. With the dark smog obscuring the city, nothing could be seen clearly. This was the so-called Nether Capital.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "This feeling..."

    The nearer he got to Nether Capital, the more intense that bizarre chill he was feeling became. That sinister feeling where his back chilled caused him to shudder uncontrobly. Pervading this ce was a certain mysterious power. Such a power capable of causing A-ss warriors to retreat was definitely not simple.

    Shua!

    His Luck Aura surveince system was fully activated. Based on the information he had read, there would be one or two death lions wandering out here every time a certain interval of time had passed. They would wander around outside of the Nether Capital for a short period of time before returning back to where they came from. This window of time where death lions would wander out was what Chen Feng was waiting for.

    Surprisingly, though, even after two full days of waiting here, Chen Feng had yet to see any life forms appearing.

    "Something is not right..."

    Chen Feng started flipping through the data he had.

    In the past, the frequency of the death lion¡¯s appearance was eight hours per appearance at maximum.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed. "Something must have happened!"

    If a death lion never appear, he would most probably be forced to enter the Nether Capital for real. However, this city in front of him was different from the ice river or the frozen sea he had been to previously. At those ces, the option to try evading any danger he encountered was avable. But here, it was too dangerous. The only reason the frozen sea had remained an untamed region in the past was due to the unique seawater there. As long as he avoided the seawater, that ce in itself wasn¡¯t a particrly dangerous ce. But here... this was truly a dangerous ce. A ghost town enveloped by a sinister aura? Nobody would be able to predict what was going to happen in there.

    Chen Feng started approaching the Nether Capital cautiously. "Let¡¯s just go take a look first."

    Just as he was around 5 km away from the Nether Capital, the temperature around him dropped to the freezing point. The visibility dropped without stop as well, and a sense of chill enveloped him.

    Hum¡ª

    Chen Feng started releasing some energy to defend himself against this.

    "A huge amount of bizarre energy is contained within the air around here. The energy in the air here is also somewhat corrosive in nature. As for other characteristics of the energy, they are currently unknown..."

    Chen Feng started analyzing the energy contained in the air around him based on the damage the energy was doing to the defensiveyer of energy he had released. The nearer he got to the Nether Capital, the faster his energy was exhausted. Fortunately, Chen Feng was already a C-ss warrior now. As such, such a level of exhaustion was still eptable for him.

    Chen Feng pondered. "Before truly entering the Nether Capital, I should be able to maintain a bnce between energy exhaustion and regeneration."

    However, when he was 1 km away from the Nether Capital, his Luck Aura ¨C rm triggered.

    Danger!

    Chen Feng retreated without hesitation.

    Shua!

    He retreated rapidly. In the darkness, two pitch-ck silhouettes shed past. At this instant, intense killing intent could be felt. B ss! Both of the silhouettes were B ss! This confirmed that mutated beasts indeed existed here. Chen Feng retreated without stop for a distance of 1 km. He only stopped when his Luck Aura ¨C rm stopped zing.

    Chen Feng frowned. They actually chased after me for such a long distance...

    With his current strength, the most he could aplish was maintain a bnce between energy exhaustion and energy recovery to defend against the corrosive energy lingering in the air around him. In other words, he would not be able to regenerate any other excess energy usage. The moment he started battling a mutated beast here, things would look grim for him.

    Chen Feng nned. "Seems like I have to prepare some recovery gene reagents."

    After this single trip, he gained a rough understanding of this ce. Even if he was only here to capture a single death lion, he would still have to prepare a huge amount of recovery gene reagents. Even with that, he would most probably fail to achieve his objective alone.

    Granted, the death lion was merely a C-ss mutated beast. However, there was a possibility that a B-ss mutated beast might be wandering around this ce at any given moment. For example: the two ck silhouettes that had been chasing after him earlier.

    Chen Feng rubbed his somewhat aching head. "It is still too difficult for me to deal with B ss presently..."

    His initial n had been to sneak in quietly and focus on killing a single death lion noiselessly before leaving after extracting the blood essence of the death lion, but now it seemed that this n would not work.

    Chen Feng thought about it. "I have to get some help."

    It was too dangerous to hire outsiders for this. This was especially true for the present him with his unique identity. The people who were waiting for an opportunity to kidnap him would probably be quite high in amount. Since that was the case, he could only look for some trustworthy people for help, then. Besides that, the bizarre environment of this ce was also something a vast majority of people couldn¡¯t deal with anyway.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng released a mission that was only limited to those in his contacts list.

    ----

    Target: Nether Capital

    Mission: Obtaining the blood essence of a death lion

    Reward: Heaven-dazzling gene reagent

    Description: The environment here is somewhat unique, as the air contains a corrosive energy. Please consider this carefully before epting...

    ----

    Ding!

    Ding!

    Shortly after, Chen Feng started receiving feedback for his issued mission.

    Chen Feng was astonished to find that the person who had epted his mission was Xu Fei.

    Chen Feng was confused. This guy...

    Shua!

    A screen popped out.

    "Do you not know how valuable a single heaven-dazzling gene reagent is nowadays? Hehe... a mere death lion, isn¡¯t it something I can capture with a wave of my hand? After obtaining the heaven-dazzling gene reagent, even if I¡¯m not using it myself, I can still sell it off." Xu Fei proudly continued, "With my current body that can resist even the seawater of the frozen sea, mere corrosive energy in the air is nothing to me."

    Chen Feng was startled as he realized that. True. He had almost forgotten that this guy¡¯s body had been reconstructed previously. An environment that was hard to deal with for others would pose no difficulty to Xu Fei. This was a guy with a built-in "aura of immunity." Perhaps he could truly help in this mission.

    "All right."

    Chen Feng approved Xu Fei¡¯s application.

    As for the second applicant...

    "Wang Chun?!"

    Chen Feng was dumbstruck. This guy wanted to join as well? The hell! He was looking for helpers! Not looking for some "bosses" to join his mission!

    Granted, Wang Chun¡¯s character was something Chen Feng approved of. His strength wasn¡¯t too shabby either. However, with this guy around, Chen Feng would always have the feeling that the roles were swapped, with him bing the bodyguard instead! This guy¡¯sbat power wasn¡¯t particrly dependable, as far as Chen Feng was concerned!

    Wang Chun¡¯s wan-looking face appeared on his screen. "It has been a while." The current Wang Chun was giving off the feeling of a person who¡¯d had all his energy sucked out of him.

    Chen Feng looked at him with a knowing look. "Have you been..." Had this guy activated the harem function of his Crystal Pce ability? How many days had it been since Chen Feng hadst seen him? Wang Chun was already exhausted to such an extent.

    Seemed like the Shen Wei siblings possessed quite a formidable bat power"...

    "Cough cough." Wang Chun coughed before replying with a paleplexion, "The main reason for this is the appearance of a third person."

    Oh?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart thumped.

    Third person! Apart from the Shen Wei siblings, a third person had appeared?

    "At a ce with an environment like the Nether Capital, she would be like a fish back in water. Herbat power will reach peak B ss there." Wang Chun sighed with a bitter smile on his face. "If you are truly only hunting for a death lion and you are agreeable with us joining, can you give me the reward in advance?"

    "All right," Chen Feng agreed.

    Wang Chun¡¯s third summon?

    He was somewhat looking forward to meeting her. If she was truly as powerful as Wang Chun¡¯s description, this trip of his might be easier. As they needed time to prepare for the trip to the Nether Capital, Chen Feng set the mission date to three dayster. During the three days, Chen Feng produced numerous recovery gene reagents as preparation for the trip. As for the heaven dazzling gene reagents, he had already sent them over to Xu Fei and Wang Chun so they could increase theirbat power before setting off on the mission.

    As long as they prepared sufficiently, this mission should be quite simple. After three days, they gathered near the Nether Capital. After a period of time of not seeing Xu Fei, it seemed like some short hairs were sprouting out of Xu Fei¡¯s bald head once again. From its appearance, he would most probably regain his hair after a period of time.

    Chen Feng smiled."Your hair is growing quite fast, eh?"

    Xu Feiughed proudly. "Hehe."

    Soon, Wang Chun, with the appearance of a personpletely exhausted of energy, appeared with the Shen Wei siblings. Next, Xu Fei and Wang Chun¡¯s group were formally introduced to each other.

    Comics... are truly powerful! Xu Feimented. No wonder he found the girls familiar when he saw them. Xu Fei eximed in admiration, "If you girls are from The Crystal Pce... I think it is aic I have seen before as well. You girls are super popr!"

    Shen Yi smiled happily. "Thanks."

    Xu Fei was curious. "You girls have actually read your ownic as well?"

    "Naturally." Shen Yi smiled embarrassingly before continuing, "That was quite a peculiar experience."

    "Oh oh oh oh. Actually, I have a question." With an inquisitive expression on his face, Xu Fei asked, "Have you girls seen any of your adult fan fictions?"

    Shua!

    Instantly, everyone sunk into silence.

 Chapter 288: Demonic Girl

    Chapter 288: Demonic Girl

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang!

    A violent clump of me was ignited. Apanied by a miserable shout, that little amount of newly grown hair on Xu Fei¡¯s head was burnt clean and once again. His head became the shiny bald head it had been in the past.

    Shen Wei snorted before stopped her me. "Hmph."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Wang Chun: "..."

    They stared at Xu Fei, sympathy in their eyes. Fan fiction was usually something resulting from someic, and a huge amount of the content was XXX rated... Wasn¡¯t Xu Fei courting death by asking this question?

    "Clean those up for me when we return." Shen Wei stared at Wang Chun coldly and continued, "Anyone who still dares to wantonly draw such fan fiction, kill without mercy!"

    Wang Chun wiped his cold sweat. "Yes, yes."

    "My hair..." Xu Fei did not even have the tears to cry. He had truly only been curious, that was why he had asked that question!

    Just as he was feeling all gloomy, an intoxicating and alluring voice drifted into his ears. "Ah, young brother, have you seen my fan fiction? I¡¯m referring to those embarrassing fan fictions, yo..." The soft voice echoed by his ears.

    Xu Fei raised his head abruptly.

    Before him, an astonishingly beautiful youngdy appeared. Her beauty was absolutely not below the Shen Wei siblings. What caused one¡¯s blood to pump was the pitifully little amount of clothing she wore. On her body, there were only several pieces of clothes, which were only sufficient to cover the important parts of her body... That alluring odor she had... and that intoxicating expression on her face...

    Her body started pressing near to Xu Fei, to the point that her body was almost pasted to Xu Fei¡¯s body. However, for an unknown reason, Xu Fei¡¯s body chilled.

    This feeling... this tone of voice...

    Xu Fei was startled. "It¡¯s you!"

    The demonic girl: Ming Yue!

    A superviin in The Crystal Pce!

    Shua!

    All the pores on Xu Fei¡¯s body shuddered as he retreated rapidly and rmingly stared at her.

    "Keh, how boring." Ming Yue curled her lips before settling her body down.

    Only now did Xu Fei notice that, since an unknown point of time, the Shen Wei siblings had been fully armed and was staring at her on full alert. That was quite reasonable, since in theic, they were archenemies!

    Shen Wei sneered. "Why have youe out again?"

    "Teehee, why can¡¯t Ie out?" Ming Yue beamed as she rested her right hand on Wang Chun¡¯s body. "Am I right, my little master?"

    Wang Chun started perspiring.

    Ming Yue...

    Chen Feng contemted.

    Was this the third character summoned by Wang Chun? Wait. From what Chen Feng remembered, shouldn¡¯t the character summoned be a person he was thinking of summoning in his heart? He had originally believed that Wang Chun would continue summoning the girls of the Shen family. Surprisingly, this brother here had quite a huge capacity for love and had directly summoned the superviin of theic. Moreover, out of all the viins, this demonic girl was the person he had summoned. Chen Feng remembered that, in theic, this chick here was an omnipotent existence, capable of destroying everything...

    Chen Feng gave Wang Chun a thumbs up. "You are a true man."

    "It was an ident, an ident." Wang Chun had a bitter expression on his face. When he had been performing his summoning, he had been nning to summon the other member of the Shen Wei siblings. For an unknown reason, he had ended up summoning Ming Yue instead!

    Moreover, he had never expected the summon to be sessful! She was a superviin! Herbat power surpassed everything in theic! A character at such a level wasn¡¯t something he should have been able to summon with his present strength! Surprisingly, the thought of summoning her had only drifted past his brain briefly, and behold, the summon had seeded!

    Even if her actual power here in the real world was limited due to Wang Chun¡¯s strength, she was still extremely powerful. Because of this, he had gotten the silent treatment from the Shen Wei siblings for several days. He no longer had the courage to keep them inside theic either. Every single day, they were released outside and were served like queens with good food and drinks. Who knew that...

    "That was because our hearts are truly interlinked together, yo." Ming Yue embraced Wang Chun and continued happily, "Although theoretically, he isn¡¯t supposed to be able to summon me, if I am agreeable to being summoned out here, a small ounce of effort on his part is sufficient for me to be summoned. Am I right, my beloved little master?"

    Ming Yue stared at Wang Chun while beaming.

    Wang Chun was ashen faced.

    The Shen Wei siblings merely snorted at that. "Hmph!"

    They were mortal enemies in theic. For them to not erupt in a battle right here, they were already giving Wang Chun sufficient face.

    Wang Chun smiled bitterly. "You... what is it that you want, exactly..."

    "What I want is very simple." In a cheerful manner, Ming Yue continued, "Find the author of thisic and get him to draw more underlings for me in theic. On top of that, I want the women of the Shen family to all be locked in a cage and drowned, to be gang-raped to the point even their souls will eternally be unable to reincarnate."

    Wang Chun: "..."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Xu Fei: "..."

    Damn, this chick is quite vicious.

    Chen Feng and Xu Fei exchanged nces before looking at Wang Chun with sympathy. There were indeed times where a harem was not such a fun thing to have. Xu Fei rubbed his bald head and suddenly felt that his fate of being bald once again wasn¡¯t that pitiful after all.

    Wang Chun smiled bitterly. "Big sister, this is not possible. The moment I decided to use thisic as my core gic ability, this version of theic I used became independent from the rest of theics in cirction. In other words, from that moment onward, the world in my copy of theic has developed independently and is no longer be rted to the author. This is my very own world, and it is also your very own world. The moment my ability activated, everything online, everything written or drawn by the author, everything else no longer affected all of you," Wang Chun stated honestly.

    Ming Yue stretchedzily. "I will believe you for now."

    "Oh... yeah... I have a question. How did youe out here?" Wang Chun asked cautiously.

    As their master, the only authority he had was to decide if he wanted to have a character summoned out into this world. This was also the only advantage he held over them. Surprisingly, Ming Yue was able to appear here directly without being summoned. He swore that he truly hadn¡¯t thought of anything improper earlier when she¡¯d gotten out here. That was genuinely the truth!

    "It¡¯s very simple." Ming Yue looked in the Nether Capital¡¯s direction. "There... I felt a familiar power. There, something seems to be calling for me," Ming Yue muttered.

    Hiss¡ª

    Everyone else¡¯s heart throbbed violently.

    Nether Capital? Calling?

    Ming Yue was the tyrant of the Nether World of the world in theic. What on earth had happened here at this Nether Capital such that even Ming Yue could feel that source of power? As they thought of the disappearing death lions and the irregr smog that had appeared here recently, something seemed to be happening at this Nether Capital, hidden in the darkness.

    Xu Fei looked at Chen Feng. "Should we... cancel this mission?"

    He was immune to any corrosive energy, and Wang Chun had the protection of Ming Yue and was even more powerful here. When they thought about it, among the three of them, in this ce, Chen Feng would be the weakest! Such a circumstance that had appeared due to the unique environment here was something they couldn¡¯t do anything about.

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was resolute. "We will still be going."

    The death lion gene reagent was something he had to obtain. All this while, he had faced way too many dangers. How could a mere Nether Capital force him to stop?

    Shen Wei stepped forth. "Let me protect him."

    Shua!

    Her me started surging.

    A trace of a unique power was contained in the faint glimmer of the me summoned by Shen Wei. This was the power of justice unique to Shen Wei, a mysterious power originating from a different world.

    Hum¡ª

    The me intensified and dispersed all the corrosive energy around them.

    "If we are only going to step into the 5% explored by the seniors before us, there shouldn¡¯t be any problems, since we have the map provided by the Gic Union. We should be able to find those death lions there as well," Chen Feng analyzed.

    Wang Chun urged him on. "If there¡¯s no problems, let¡¯s depart quickly, then." He couldn¡¯t continue this way. He was truly going crazy.

    "All right."

    Chen Feng nced at Ming Yue before they set off with Nether Capital as their destination.

    Shua!

    Their figures stepped into the sinister smog noiselessly. Chen Feng and the rest had solemn expressions on their faces. The only exception was Ming Yue as she spread her arms, an obviouslyfortable expression on her face as she stepped into the smog.

    This feeling... how familiar...

 Chapter 289: The Forbidden Skill of Immortality

    Chapter 289: The Forbidden Skill of Immortality

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Nether Capital. This was a mysterious ce. With Shen Wei¡¯s protection, they were able to easily enter the Nether Capital. The air filled with corrosive energy was kept away from them by Shen Wei¡¯s aura.

    The smog seemed to cover everything. Chen Feng cautiously traveled forth in ordance to his map. This was the map sketched by the Gic Union when they had firste here. Only 5% of this area was shown on the map. They pressed forth cautiously as their progress increased.

    One percent...

    Two percent...

    Finally, they stopped when they had explored 4.8% of the area.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped furiously. "Something doesn¡¯t seem right."

    That was because, up till now, they had yet to see a single mutated beast. This was the most terrifying aspect of their current exploration. Where were the mutated beasts he had encountered when he¡¯d firste here several days before? Where were the two B-ss mutated beasts from before? Where were the promised death lions?

    No mutated beasts could be found even when they were reaching the limit of the 5% explored area.

    Shua!

    They continued traveling until, finally, all the 5% area had been explored by them. Here, they finally found out the reason the Gic Union had stopped their exploration at this point in the past.

    That was because the dividing line for the region outside the explored 5% was a city. Before their eyes, amidst the boundless smog, was a genuine city.

    Nether Capital...

    Chen Feng sunk into a solemn mood.

    Indeed...

    Although where they were currently at was also called the Nether Capital, they were actually at the outeryer of the actual city called the Nether Capital. Only now had they reached the actual city.

    Nether Capital, the ghost town in the legends.

    Hum¡ª

    A sinister aura started spreading.

    This city in front of them started giving them a terrifying feeling that caused their backs to chill.

    Chen Feng decided without hesitation. "Retreat!"

    He was extremely clear on his target and risk appetite. He had initially believed that hunting for death lions would be a low-risk endeavor. That was the only reason he had decided toe with some of his friends. But now that the degree of danger here had far surpassed his imagination, there was no need for him to take extra risks. The most proper way for him to go about aplishing his goal was to return and hire some formidable A-ss experts. As far as he was concerned, the danger of being betrayed by any unknown A-ss experts he hired was already surpassed by the danger this Nether Capital could potentially pose them.

    Shua!

    They retreated rapidly. However, right at this moment, a terrifying explosion resounded.

    Bang!

    Distantly, a loud explosion could be heard. Due to the thick smog, they could not see what was happening. However, a certain dim radiance that they could see amidst the thick smog had seemingly been stepped on and killed. Everyone could clearly see a huge footprint with a size of 100 square meters left on the ground. A certain terrifying and gigantic life form seemed to have stepped there.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Apanied by thundering sounds, footprints started appearing on the ground, seemingly traveling in their direction.

    They could not see anything. However, the huge footprints left on the ground with a dim glow could still be seen...

    Enemy attack! Toward their direction!

    They gulped. "Damn it."

    They had obviously explored all of the 5% area indicated in their map and no mutated beasts had been found. What was this thing that had suddenly appeared here?

    Wang Chun looked at the beautiful youngdy beside him. "Shen Yi."

    Hum¡ª

    Shen Yi¡¯s eyes started glowing.

    Shua!

    The smog covering everything seemed to vanish at this instant. At this moment, everyone could clearly see that the life form leaving the gigantic footprints on the ground was a huge skeleton with a height of several tens of meters.

    Everyone inhaled a mouthful of cold air. "Hiss¡ª"

    It was actually a gigantic skeleton beast.

    Wang Chun saw a familiar-looking thing. "Look at his body!"

    Death lion!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped.

    That huge skeleton seemed to be something formed of countless sets of bones. On its body were countless corpses with no flesh remaining.

    No wonder they hadn¡¯t seen any mutated beasts... All of them had been killed by this damnable skeleton here!

    Shua!

    Shen Yi¡¯s body swayed, and the smog surged forth, covering everything once again.

    Shen Yi felt somewhat regretful. "That¡¯s the most we can see."

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The loud sound of footsteps could still be heard. Amidst the smog that covered everything, those footprints with a faint glow could be clearly seen. The footprints were nearing them. Despite the huge distance between them and the gigantic skeleton, they were still able to guess the strength of that beast.

    A ss! To be urate, its strength was at least A ss!

    A huge skeleton beast formed through countless corpses of B-ss mutated beasts was not something they could contend against.

    Bang!

    The huge footprints continued nearing them.

    They exchanged nces and decided that the only thing they could do was turn around and travel in a different direction, stepping into the city enveloped by smog. However, they did not travel too far into the city. Rather, they lingered around the entrance.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    They watched on as that huge mutated beast neared them. However, right as the beast neared the city, it started hesitating. After a while, shocking all of them, it turned around and left.

    "It left," Wang Chun muttered. No trace of joy could be heard from his voice, though.

    Capable of scaring away such a beast, this ce...

    Chen Feng intended to leave here as fast as he could. "Let¡¯s go."

    However.

    ng!

    Apanied by a loud sound, the entrance closed, sealing the Nether Capital.

    Wang Chun¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "We can¡¯t leave anymore."

    Seems like somebody wants us to be in here... Chen Feng thought knowingly.

    The death of the death lions, the appearance of the gigantic skeleton beast, the closure of the city¡¯s entrance... all of this seemed to signify that there were indeed some life forms in this city. Somewhere here was definitely an intelligent life form. However, they had no idea what the intention of this life form was.

    "Be extra careful," Chen Feng said.

    Wang Chun and Xu Fei nodded. "Understood."

    The Shen Wei siblings were highly vignt as well. Only Lady Ming Yue was behaving differently, as if she was taking a casual stroll here.

    Chen Feng scanned past the structures inside the city. "These constructions..."

    An ancient gate built with a simple architecture. The streets, the tavern, everything in this city seemed ancient.

    The destruction of this city should have taken ce several hundred years ago. Only that could exin the architecture here in this city that still preserved the style of ancient times, free of any traces of the gic era.

    At the entrance were numerous cartscking the horses that were supposed to be pulling them. Chen Feng stepped forth and rubbed one of them. His expected scene of these carts crumbling apart into ashes did not appear. This did not seem in line with what should have happened with the passage of time. Not only that, these carts were all still in good condition, retaining the simplicity of the ancient era¡¯s design. This did not only apply to these carts. Everything in this city that Chen Feng could see was still in good condition.

    This was simply unlike a city that had been abandoned for several centuries. Everything in this city seemed to have been fixed in time since the incident where everyone here died.

    "There¡¯s some death aura," Shen Yi said suddenly.

    Chen Feng looked at her. "What?"

    "Death aura, a unique aura that also exists in my world. I don¡¯t know what it is called here in this world. It¡¯s also something that is quite difficult to describe... It¡¯s a power capable of reviving the dead," Shen Yi said.

    Could it be...

    Chen Feng and Xu Fei exchanged nces. The necromancy mentioned in the legends? As the gic era had descended, as the people¡¯s strength had increased, a lot of researches of eternal life had started cropping up. All sorts of gene fusions and peculiar gic abilities had appeared due to that...

    Among these abilities, necromancy was one of them, also the one rumored to be most likely to help one achieve immortality.

    This was an ability formed from thebination of several powerful gic abilities that had zerobat power. The people that chose this path were destined to have nobat power. Only when they reached the peak of their chosen path would they be able to fuse all their chosen gic abilities to create a superpowerful secret art known as necromancy!

    This was an ability capable of preserving everything in its original appearance, such as a human¡¯s appearance, their bodily functions, and even the appearance of matter itself.

    For unknown reasons, the research on necromancy had suddenly been announced as a failure one day. Everyone in the researchboratory had been killed and their research materials had vanished. From then on, necromancy had be something that only existed in legends.

    Here, as Chen Feng looked at everything in this city that still had its original appearance, shock flickered in his eyes. Could it be that the legendary power of necromancy had actually been sessfully researched?

    Shua!

    They exchanged nces, disbelief apparent in their eyes.

    If that was the case... something major was probably going to happen!

    Just as they were in the midst of bewilderment, abruptly, faint footsteps could be heard. Their expressions changed greatly and they were immediately on full alert as their killing intent surged.

    Creak¡ª

    The door of a building beside them opened suddenly.

    A young man with the appearance of a 20-year-old walked out of the building and looked at Chen Feng¡¯s group with amazement. "Yo, dear customers, you are all quite early, ay? From how you all are dressed, you are all probably from the Western Regions?"

    What?

    Chen Feng nked.

    At this moment, apanied by numerous footsteps, countless people appeared and flooded this city. They started going about their daily life.

    Market... butcher... tavern... the whole city had seeminglye alive at this instant.

    What they witnessed was a bustling city. The ghost town they had seen earlier felt like a dream. Here, as they stared at this city that hade alive, their bodies chilled. What on earth was happening in this city, this so-called Nether Capital?

 Chapter 290: Safe Haven

    Chapter 290: Safe Haven

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The tavern waiter appeared excited. "Haha, dear customers, you are all too early. From how you are all dressed, you all aren¡¯t locals, right?"

    "Yeah." Chen Feng nodded as he feigned a casual expression on his face before asking, "It seems like I wasn¡¯t able to see anyone in this city earlier?"

    "Sigh, it¡¯s the night curfew." The waiter curled his lips. "Apparently there were some escaped convicts. The authorities are still on the hunt for them."

    "Oh." Chen Feng put on the expression of someone who had learned something new, pretending to ept this exnation.

    "Please be seated."

    The waiter arranged a table for Chen Feng¡¯s group. After taking their orders and some idle chat, the waiter left, leaving Chen Feng¡¯s group that was exchanging nces with each other behind.

    Regardless of this tavern or this whole city, everything here was too bizarre!

    Chen Feng looked at Shen Yi. "Is this an illusion?"

    "Nope." Shen Yi¡¯s eyes were glowing. She could easily see through all illusions. Everything here seemed iparably real and did not appear like an illusion at all. Everything they were witnessing was real! The whole city and the residents here were real!

    "Perhaps this is an independent ce that exists beyond the influence of the outside world?" Wang Chun said with astonishment. In this world, such a ce truly existed?

    Perhaps due to the chaos and disorder back then, these people had escaped ande here. Subsequently, they had gotten some super expert to set up some array to cut off all contact with the outside world and create such a safe haven here? This was possible, right?

    But then... several centuries had passed. This ce shouldn¡¯t have maintained its original appearance from back then, right? There was also the death aura that Shen Yi had mentioned previously...

    This whole city seemed to be enveloped in mystery.

    "Let¡¯s take a stroll around," Chen Feng proposed.

    "All right," everyone agreed.

    They left the tavern and walked toward the street. The streets that had appeared lifeless now had a flourishing appearance. At this instant, they almost felt like they had returned to ancient times.

    Everywhere, there were people buying and selling, some of them haggling over the price, while some started fighting due to disagreement...

    The whole city appeared alive.

    "All this is real." Shen Yi was certain.

    Everyone else nodded. None of this was fake.

    "Let¡¯s try interacting more with the people here," Chen Feng suggested.

    "All right."

    They tried interacting with the people here.

    If everything here was truly fake or a setup, it would be impossible for the interactions between these residents and Chen Feng¡¯s group to hide it wlessly. However, when they tried interacting with the people here, no problems could be found.

    This was not some setup by an artificial intelligence. All of this was real. It reached a point where, after they asked a bunch of nonsensical questions, they were reported to the authorities. Next, the authorities dispatched someone over to arrest them. They were only able to go free thanks to Xu Fei.

    "Nice to meet you, Great Master."

    These people here appeared rather respectful of the bald Xu Fei and the faint traces of scars on his head that resembled a monk. That was not all; there were some who took the initiative to look for Xu Fei, hoping that he would help them with their eye-opening ceremony 1 .

    "Everything here is real."

    Even Shen Wei ultimately believed that everything here was real. This was because she had earlier gotten into a fight and the injury that she had received was real.

    If all this had been fake, the only method of implementing it to such perfection was to use illusions. However, the existence of an illusion capable of fooling all of them, including the Shen Yi from a different world, was impossible. Chen Feng had even used his Luck Aura to confirm that this was not an illusion.

    This was the Nether Capital, the actual Nether Capital concealed within the thick smog surrounding it.

    No one had ever expected that hidden within this thick smog was an independent city that still retained its looks from ancient times.

    "These people have been staying here for several centuries?" Chen Feng contemted.

    Suddenly, he looked toward the end of the street. Some merchants on their carts were trying to leave the city. However, they were stopped by the soldiers stationed there.

    "Nobody is allowed to leave?" Chen Feng asked a passerby near him.

    The person shook his head as he exined, "Not for a few days. These few days, there were some escaped convicts. The authority is hunting for them. As such, only entry into the city is permitted. Moreover, a night curfew has also been implemented."

    Chen Feng contemted, "If so, all these people will be allowed to leave on normal days?"

    "Naturally," the person answered with an odd expression.

    "Many thanks."

    They bid the people there farewell before leaving, their brains working overtime. So the people here were allowed to leave the city normally? But out there was a huge skeleton beast! Besides that...what was the point of leaving and going out there where everything was dead?

    "That huge skeleton beast seems to be something that only appeared recently..." Wang Chun said suddenly. "The death lions only started disappearing recently as well. That is the only reason we actually got into this city. Under normal circumstances, there simply would have been no need for us to venture into the smog to reach this city. As for the merchants that are allowed to leave this city on other days... is it possible that more than one city exists here?" Wang Chun finished with a solemn expression.

    "You mean..."

    Everyone¡¯s heart throbbed furiously. More than one city? In other words, a second or even a third city might exist here! As for those merchants, they were in charge of themercial trade between these cities to ensure the smooth operation of these cities. Apart from that, those merchants might be the true guardians of this ce.

    "If this is something put in ce by some super expert back then... it is possible that they left behind descendants that will also be in charge of maintaining the hermit nature of the cities around here," Wang Chun stated calmly.

    Everyone sank into contemtion.

    If this was the truth, then everything would be exinable.

    A few hundred years ago, a cmity had befallen the Nether Capital. Next, an expert had appeared and established this independently existing series of cities as safe havens. An array had been set up to stop outsiders froming here and the power of necromancy had been used to preserve everything here in good condition. On top of that, the truth had been concealed from the residents here to allow them to maintain their simple lifestyles.

    The descendants of that expert had continued guarding this ce in the dark. Only until recently, though, due to the appearance of that huge skeleton beast. "Hunting escaped convicts" was being used as an excuse to ce a temporary lockdown on the Nether Capital.

    "If that is the case... we only need to wait for the huge skeleton beast to disappear, and all will be fine."

    Xu Fei¡¯s eyes shone. Their mission was only to capture a single death lion. As long as the giant skeleton beast disappeared and everything went back to how it had been, there would no longer be any problems.

    Their mission did not seem to conflict with the intention of this city¡¯s establishment. As for what had happened here in the past? They had no interest in finding out.

    Anything pertaining to the setup of an eternally existing array would touch on a subject of research that was forbidden. With their present strength, if they were to get involved in such things, it was very probable they would die horribly.

    Since the Nether Capital was on lockdown and they had no way of leaving, they could only settle down and wait quietly.

    However, due to Xu Fei¡¯s identity as a "senior monk" in the eyes of the residents here, they enjoyed free food and drinks from the residents. The only thing the residents here would ask in return was that Xu Fei assist with some eye-opening ceremonies.

    Soon, night arrived. The whole city recovered its dead atmosphere. It was scarily silent.

    Chen Feng¡¯s group was feeling extremely stifled in their windowless room in the tavern. As such, they decided to take a stroll through the streets. There was nobody out at night anyway. As for the so-called escaped convicts... none of them could be seen.

    "The night curfew was probably implemented due to the smog here being too thick at night. It might end up hurting the residents here. As such, the guardians of this ce created some random excuse to implement the curfew. However, the smog here has no effect on us," Shen Wei said.

    "Mhm."

    Everyone nodded. Since that was the case, they might as well start training out here. Their n was quite simple. When everything returned to how it had been, they would proceed to hunt a death lion before leaving in secret. This would not affect the stability of this ce.

    The night passed quietly.

    The sky brightened gradually, and the city starteding alive again. Chen Feng¡¯s group proceeded to return to the tavern. At the entrance, the waiter that wasing out of the tavern looked at them in astonishment and said, "Yo, dear customers, you are all quite early, ay? From how you all are dressed, you are all probably from the Western Regions?"

    ??

    As Chen Feng¡¯s group looked at the waiter¡¯s expression, which did not seem to recognize them, their bodies chilled.

    This ce...

 Chapter 291: A Small Damage

    Chapter 291: A Small Damage

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Smog was everywhere. At the outeryer of the Nether Capital, a group of silhouettes were quietly hiding somewhere.

    "Is the captain not back yet?"

    "Soon."

    "Try urging him."

    "All right."

    "This is a mission issued by the leader himself. We must not allow anything to go wrong."

    "Understood. But then, does necromancy truly exist?"

    "Shh." The one leading them red at him. "It is not our ce to discuss about this."

    "All right."

    At that, they shut their mouths in fear.

    Shua!

    Once again, they concealed themselves. Around them, a terrifying aura started spreading, akin to a huge beast that was about to wake up. Only their bright eyes could be seen clearly, pairs of eyes that were glimmering amidst the darkness.

    Distantly, the Nether Capital, enveloped in smog, appeared even more unclear now.

    Soon, a silhouette appeared. After they reorganized their group, they stepped into the smog-filled area.

    Howl¡ª

    The air trembled.

    The huge skeleton beast stepped out of the darkness.

    "Undead life form?"

    A trace of joy appeared on their faces.

    If even such a life form from the legends had appeared here, it was quite probable that necromancy would truly appear here. The style of construction here appeared to be from a somewhat different era, though.

    "Go!"

    "Deal with him!"

    "He might have the thing we need on his body," the captain ordered coldly.

    "All right."

    Everyone else followed themand.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    A terrifying power bloomed within the darkness.

    At this instant, these people, whose existences were nearly untraceable, unleashed an extremely formidable power. Even the weakest among them was B ss.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The huge skeleton beast howled.

    Its bones were crushed and started glimmering amidst the darkness.

    Howl¡ª

    An astonishinglyrge death aura bloomed. Next, a huge battle broke out.

    As of now, within the Nether Capital, Chen Feng and the rest had only found out about the secret of this city. The waiter that they had clearly interacted with yesterday had actuallypletely forgotten about them today. As for his dialogue, it was exactly the same as what he had said yesterday.

    "Perhaps, he can¡¯t remember us because he has too many customers?" Xu Fei guessed.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "That¡¯s not possible. It might be possible for him to forget about others, but as for us, the way we are dressed and the way we behave arepletely different from the others around here. It is simply impossible for him to not recognize us. Besides that, his gaze when looking at us appeared incredibly unfamiliar," Chen Feng analyzed calmly.

    Wang Chun was rmed. "What on earth is going on here?"

    "We will find out after taking a walk around," Chen Feng said. "It is possible that this waiter is the problematic one."

    "Mhm."

    Everyone agreed.

    Soon, they reached the street. They tried doing the same thing they had done yesterday, and they found that everyone here had truly forgotten about them, regardless of what the person¡¯s profession was! This was simply not the problem of that waiter alone. Rather, nobody in this city knew them from yesterday.

    "Memory erased?" This thought surfaced in Chen Feng¡¯s brain. Could it be that every single resident of this city had had their memory erased while sleeping at night? Or perhaps, for some reason, they were unable to keep any memories regarding outsiders?

    This was possible as well.

    But this train of thought onlysted one whole minute. Once again, Chen Feng saw the familiar carts trying to leave the city. Once again, he saw the quarrel at the market. At this moment, he had a faint idea of what had actually happened here.

    The memories of the residents here hadn¡¯t been cleared. Rather, they were reliving the same day!

    To verify his guess, Chen Feng took the same route they had taken yesterday, and he found that everything that had happened yesterday happened today as well!

    For example, the quarrel between Aunty Wang and Aunty Zhang due to a cucumber at the market.

    For example, the tofu shop boss that was beaten in the street by his jealous wife.

    All these incidents were reenacted. Everything was exactly the same as yesterday.

    If they had only had their memories cleared to forget about Chen Feng¡¯s group, how was it possible for them to redo the same thing they had done yesterday? This ce...

    Xu Fei pointed somewhere. "Look."

    There, the carts were still stopped when they tried to leave the city.

    In a certain tavern, the chairs that had been broken after a fight broke out yesterday were in perfect condition today.

    This was simply not something that could be aplished by clearing the memories of the people here. Everything here seemed to have been changed back to its original condition after a single night.

    "This is a repeat!" Finally, Chen Feng was sure. Here, every single day, the same thing would happen over and over again.

    "Perhaps all this is only a coincidence?" Xu Fei said.

    "We will know tonight," Chen Feng said calmly.

    "All right."

    Late at night, the night curfew began. Once again, the world sunk into silence.

    Chen Feng¡¯s group had intentionally damaged some chairs. They had even ughtered all the pigs the butcher was rearing at his house. Next, they waited for the next day to appear.

    The next day, once again, the city woke up. All the damage done by Chen Feng¡¯s group was noiselessly restored. The butcher¡¯s shop was business as usual, all his pigs still waiting to be ughtered. The pigs were still alive!

    "How is this possible..." Xu Fei inhaled a mouthful of cold air. The pigs were all still alive! How was that possible! They had ughtered these pigs with their own hands!

    For example...

    That pig with flowery marks on its body that was obviously different in appearance than the other pigs. He had ughtered that pig himself yesterday, yet today, this pig was still alive.

    Chen Feng¡¯s guess was indeed correct. This was a repeat!

    "Not only the items here, even the life forms here have all been restored?" Wang Chun was astonished. "What about a human..."

    That¡¯s right. If even a pig could be restored, for a human...

    Chen Feng smiled coldly. "Let¡¯s try."

    After asking around, they found someone who had a notorious reputation yet the authorities had no way of dealing with. After chattering casually with him for a short while, they killed him directly.

    The next day, when the city once again reawakened, that notorious rogue could be seen alive and well. On top of that, he had totally forgotten about Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    "We are trapped," Wang Chun realized suddenly.

    They were all trapped in this world where every day was a repeat!

    A never-ending repeat!

    The scariest part of this was the fact that they had no way of solving this.

    Illusion? Array? This was none of those.

    Everything here was real. They were things that truly existed. This was what horrified Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    Subsequently, they tried all sorts of methods. However, none of their methods worked.

    They killed, destroyed property, and even caused chaos at the government office by killing the employees there. The next day, everything was still restored perfectly as if nothing had happened.

    One day, two days, three days...

    Every single method they believed would be able to solve this was insufficient.

    They were going crazy. "What damned ce is this?"

    Ming Yue was all smiles as she looked at Wang Chun. "Teehee. I can give you a hand, yo."

    Wang Chun looked at her doubtfully. "You have a solution?"

    "I have an idea. I want to test it out." After thinking for a bit, Ming Yue continued, "However, you are, after all, my master. Without your approval, I can¡¯t do it. Hence, I¡¯m here to apply for your approval."

    Wang Chun was on alert. "What idea?"

    Ming Yue¡¯s coy voice echoed in his ears. "A small test, destroying something to see if it will be restored."

    Wang Chun exchanged nces with Chen Feng before nodding. They had tried using abilities with all sorts of properties to damage the things here. None of them had worked. Since that was the case, they might as well allow Ming Yue to try it out.

    Thereupon, Wang Chun temporarily removed the restriction on Ming Yue. Next, Ming Yue bounced out in a vivacious manner.

    Xu Fei was somewhat anxious. "There shouldn¡¯t be any problems with this right?"

    In theic, this demonic girl was not a person to be underestimated.

    "It should be fine, right?" Wang Chun said uncertainly. "After all, my strength is still too weak. As such, she is limited and won¡¯t be able to unleash too much of her power anyway..."

    Suddenly.

    Bang!

    A loud sound could be heard.

    What happened?

    They were all startled.

    When they raised their heads to look in the direction of the sound, they found, to their horror, that the whole world had instantly sunk into darkness, and a terrifying power was emerging out of the dark clouds.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Endless dark lightning started descending, akin to a sight from the apocalypse.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Unending mournful screams could be heard as the whole world sunk into darkness.

    "The... f*ck?" Wang Chun stared nkly at that single enchanting silhouette standing amidst the darkness. On Ming Yue¡¯s face, a smile slowly appeared as endless lightning descended without stop around her.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    They were all dumbstruck.

    Massacre! This woman here was actually ughtering everyone in the city!

    Xu Fei muttered, "She¡¯s a lunatic!"

    He was incredibly thankful that he had not provoked this demonic girl in any way. The heck? She had actually massacred one whole city without a second thought? Were all the viin bosses inics so insane?

    "Ming Yue!" Wang Chun was furious. He had never expected that the so-called ¡¯small damage¡¯ she had mentioned was the massacre of the whole city.

    Chen Feng dragged him back and said, "Calm down. Let her be."

    "But she¡¯s ughtering everyone in the city!" Wang Chun was in a heavy mood, with the heavy mood furtherpounded by the sight of countless deaths before him and the sight of these people crawling over to him begging for help.

    "They won¡¯t die for real anyway," Chen Feng said calmly. "Have you forgotten about the scoundrel we killed two days ago?"

    Wang Chun was startled awake. "You mean..."

    "I want to see the result from this as well." With a sharp gaze, Chen Feng continued, "The killed people can be restored. The damaged items can be restored. What about the destruction of the entire city? Can it be restored as well? Or perhaps there will be some guardian appearing next? I¡¯m truly filled with anticipation."

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The terrifying apocalypse-like scene continued.

    Ming Yue¡¯s voice echoed everywhere amidst the thunderous lightning. "Hahaha, where are you running? Little brother here,e, let this big sister here kill you~." Finally, the whole city was reduced to ruins, not a single intact item remaining. Not a single living being remained either. Dead. All dead.

    "Teehee. Testpleted." Cheerfully, Ming Yue ran back toward them. Everyone¡¯s gaze was filled with horror when they looked at her. Wasn¡¯t this woman here too dreadful?

    Even if these people would be able to be restored... the way in which she had ughtered them all...

    "Hmph!" Shen Wei snorted. If this wasn¡¯t the Nether Capital, she would have stopped Ming Yue long ago.

    "Demoness," Shen Yi muttered.

    Ming Yue winked before epting this nickname given to her by Shen Yi. "Why, thank you."

    Ming Yue shifted her gaze to Xu Fei, who was staring at her nkly. "This young brother here, why are you looking at me? Do you want to do something intimate with me?"

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Xu Fei shivered before hiding himself behind Chen Feng. What joke was this. If he were to encounter such a demonic girl in the future, he would definitely run as far as he could.

    Wang Chun smiled bitterly. "You are truly..."

    With such a summon that waspletely out of control, he had no idea if he should cry orugh about it.

    "All right," Chen Feng said indifferently. "Since the test is already done, the only thing left to do is wait for the results."

    "All right."

    Everyone nodded. This was the only thing they could do for now.

    The next day, the moment the first sunlight appeared, light swirled around the whole city, and at that moment, the city started waking up. The door near them once again opened, and a familiar voice could be heard.

    "Yo, dear customers, you are all quite early, ay? From how you all are dressed, you are all probably from the Western Regions?"

    The waiter! Their hearts chilled. Indeed, him again!

    Xu Fei felt helpless. "Once again, it has repeated..."

    "Even ughtering the whole city won¡¯t change anything?" Wang Chun smiled bitterly. They had always believed that the key to solving this issue was a certain person or item in this city. Surprisingly, even after Ming Yue destroyed everything here, the day had still repeated.

    It was probable that some mysterious power lingered around this area. Was it the so-called death aura? The aura of justice possessed by Shen Wei was ineffective against this death aura. Even Ming Yue¡¯s mysterious power was ineffective against it.

    "Will we be trapped here forever?"

    They were horrified at this prospect. They could imagine what the consequences of them failing to solve this problem would be.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "We won¡¯t. This is just something caused by a certain power existing here. As long as..."

    Midsentence, Chen Feng¡¯s expression abruptly changed.

    That was because his Luck Aura¡¯s rm system had triggered.

    rm? Someone else is here! The direction is...

    Shua!

    Chen Feng looked toward the direction. It was actually outside the city.

    Chen Feng was astonished. "Someone ising."

    "Outsiders?"

    Wang Chun and the rest were shocked as well. Apart from them, there were other outsidersing here as well? Were these people here to hunt for mutated beasts such as the death lion as well?

    "Let¡¯s hide first," Chen Feng decided without any hesitation.

    Shua!

    Noiselessly, they concealed themselves.

    Distantly, the tightly shut city gate opened and a group of people stepped into the city. From the way they were dressed...

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart thumped. "They¡¯re from the Mysterious Organization!"

    Could this city be a base of the Mysterious Organization? However, just as this idea surfaced in their brains, they noticed that all the neers were staring at this ancient-looking city with confused expressions.

    "Nope," Shen Yi judged. "They look lost as well."

    "That¡¯s good, then," Chen Feng answered.

    Chen Feng¡¯s group was too small. As such, theycked the manpower to solve this. If it was these neers from the Mysterious Organization, though, they might be able to solve this repeating problem. After all, from the aura they were emitting, even the weakest among them was at B ss.

    These people were definitely core members of the Mysterious Organization.

    "They might have a way out of this," Chen Feng guessed.

    "We won¡¯t be able to defeat them," Xu Fei shrugged.

    If these were some regr B-ss warriors, Chen Feng¡¯s group would still be able to handle them. There were numerous methods avable, such as assassinating them one by one in the dark, but now, with two A sses among their ranks... a single one of these two was sufficient to deal with all of them.

    This was simply an opponent in a different league.

    Chen Feng had a profound smile on his face. "Who says that we need to fight them? They are unaware that we are here."

    Wang Chun¡¯s eyes shone. "You mean..."

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "That¡¯s right."

    His n was quite simple. If this city was treated as a game where everything would be automatically restored every day, these residents would be the NPCs of this game. As for them, they would be the yers of this game.

    Both them and the people from the Mysterious Organization were the same.

    However, as the group that was here first, they possessed an advantage over those people.

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "From now onwards, call me NPC Chen."

    Shua!

    Within a small, shabby-looking house that was uninhabited, they changed into something that was simr in style to what the residents here were wearing, perfectly blending with this city.

    Currently, the neers from the Mysterious Organization had finally entered the city. This was a group of 12. They stepped into the tavern in an orderly fashion.

    "These few lords here, are you only stopping for a meal or are you staying over in our rooms?" The waiter could seemingly sense that these people were those he shouldn¡¯t provoke. As such, he was extremely respectful toward them, giving them the premium treatment. Toward their questions, he tried his best to answer as well.

    However, they were not able to get much information from him.

    Nether Capital?

    Night curfew?

    Escaped convicts?

    All the information they gathered was the same as what Chen Feng¡¯s group had gathered previously.

    They seemed to be able to feel an unusual power lingering here as well. As such, they did not dare to act recklessly. At such a forbidden area that the outside world was unaware of, even A-ss experts needed to be on alert at all times.

    Thereupon, the day passed peacefully.

    The next day, they finally witnessed the mysterious power of restoration this city seemed to possess. However, instead of being rmed, they were all overjoyed. For all items and living beings to be restored...the moment they noticed that even the killed people would be restored, some guesses surfaced in their brains.

    The captain¡¯s gaze was sharp. "Necromancy indeed exists for real!"

    The deputy captain beside him smiled coldly. "Seems like the only thing we need to do is capture the one pulling the strings here."

    Since the target of their mission had now been ascertained, the only thing left to do was act on it. However, even if they wanted to act on it, they needed to know where to start. Unfortunately, after using all sorts of methods, they still failed to solve this.

    They even tried ughtering the whole city as well.

    The captain frowned. "Seems like we have to do this slowly, then."

    They started aimlessly wandering the streets. After several days of testing all sorts of methods, almost everyone in this city had been killed by them at least once. As such, they no longer cared about what the residents here thought of them.

    Unexpectedly, when they were passing by a shabby-looking building, they heard something.

    "The tale of allnds under the heaven. Your story, my story, and the story of all living beings under the heaven. I am Half-Immortal Chen. Are you all interested in having your fortunes told?"

    Creak¡ª

    The shabby-looking door opened.

    A young man with a long beard walked out of the building. "From what I see, with your dark foreheads and your lifeless eyes, it is quite apparent that you all are about to face a bloody cmity in theing days..."

 Chapter 293: Master Seer

    Chapter 293: Master Seer

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "A fortune teller?"

    They nked momentarily.

    They had never imagined that there would be a fortune teller residing in this corner of the city. A few days earlier, when they had massacred the whole city with arge-scale attack, none of them had noticed this spot.

    Fortune telling...

    Their interest was piqued.

    If this fortune teller here was somewhat capable, they might even get some clues here.

    "Yes." The fortune teller did not appear too old. If it wasn¡¯t for that huge bushy beard he had, he would most certainly have had too tender an appearance. From his current looks, it was quite apparent that this was a newbie who had just stepped foot into society.

    "Tell us, then, what blood cmity is it that we will be encountering?" the captain said with a smile.

    The fortune teller started picking his fingers as he read their fortune. "Let me see... Mhm... if nothing unexpected happens, I¡¯m afraid you all will not be able to live for more than three days."

    "Three days?" Theyughed. How many repeating days had they already experienced here at Nether Capital? "If that¡¯s so, this mister here should read his own fortune to see if he is going to encounter a bloody cmity."

    A few days ago, when they massacred the whole city, this guy here had probably been killed as well. If he was truly a capable fortune teller, wouldn¡¯t he have been able to see thating as well?

    "Me?" The fortune teller shook his head. "Naturally, there is no cmity. Us, the citizens of the Nether Capital, have an aura of blessing lingering about us. Even if our bodies are killed, our souls will be preserved before stepping into the wheel of reincarnation."

    Shua!

    Instantly, their expressions changed.

    Soul preservation, stepping into the wheel of reincarnation... This fortune teller was evidently not a simple person!

    "Please give us your guidance, Mister."

    "Not a problem, not a problem." The fortune teller smiled and continued, "Let me take a look, mhm¡ªyi?"

    "What¡¯s up?" they asked anxiously.

    "Your heads..." the fortune teller shook his head as an odd expression appeared on his face, "are actually enveloped by a green aura."

    They were at a loss. "Green aura?"

    The fortune teller nodded. "Yes. Normally, this would only appear when one is betrayed by one¡¯s wife. One¡¯s head will be shining with a green luster, akin to a grasnd on one¡¯s head." [1] 1

    The group: "..."

    One of them raged. "What are you saying?!"

    "Please calm down." The fortune teller shook his head and continued, "That is also the reason I have an odd feeling. From your looks, I¡¯m afraid you guys don¡¯t even have any wives, right? Even if you wanted to be green, there wouldn¡¯t be any chances anyway..."

    The group: "..."

    These sharp words pierced straight into their hearts.

    What f*cking fortune teller was this bastard?

    "Let me take a look." The fortune teller started reading their fortunes attentively. "Ahhh, so that is the case. I¡¯m afraid the bloody cmity has been lingering about you all for quite a while. However, thanks to this green aura on your head, you all have survived till now. If you guys are without a wife, mhm... Perhaps there is a certain lord high above that is protecting you all with a green aura?" the fortune teller guessed.

    "???"

    "What trashy fortune teller is this?"

    They werepletely confused.

    Green aura? High above? Right at this moment, they prepared to make a move against this fortune teller.

    "Stop!" The captain and the deputy captain that were both A-ss gic warriors stopped them. Next, with solemn expressions, they walked toward the fortune teller. "Mister, please give us your guidance."

    ??

    Their team members were totally confused.

    Only the captain and deputy captain were aware of what the so-called green aura represented. That was Senior Soul!

    Enveloped by a green aura...

    Although the fortune teller was extremely vague in the things he had said, the asional information he had released was something only the important members of their group were aware of.

    This fortune teller here was most probably the real deal!

    Hidden within this repeating city was actually such an existence! That was truly inconceivable!

    The fortune teller smiled bashfully. "Not a problem, not a problem. However, my expenses..."

    The expressions of the captain and the rest stiffened.

    Only now did they recall that they were penniless here in this city.

    "Shall I go and steal some money?" one of their members suggested.

    Fortune teller: "..." The fortune teller smiled as he told them, "That is not what I meant. When I tell a fortune, I do not ept any money as payment. The only thing I ept is information."

    The captain felt somewhat doubtful. "Information?"

    "That¡¯s right. Although I am a mere fortune teller, I am extremely interested in all news under the heavens. Throughout the whole pugilistic world, there is almost nothing that I do not know of. Things such as the assassination of the Bloodrain Pavilion leader¡¯s brother by the leader himself or the scandal of the Brute River Mansion¡¯s leader with his master¡¯s wife, I know of them all. Where do you think I gain all this information? Naturally, I gain it from trades," the fortune teller said profoundly.

    They sunk into silence. Only now did they realize that this fortune teller was also peddling for information, obtaining top secret information from others before selling it at a high price to those in need.

    "What do you want to know about?" the captain asked.

    "Looking at the way you are all dressed, you are all probably members of a mysterious organization. Supposedly, there is not a single organization in this pugilistic world that I do not know of, yet I have yet to encounter an organization whose members are dressed like you. Hence, which organization are you all from?" the fortune teller asked.

    "Mysterious Organization," the captain said indifferently.

    The fortune teller appeared displeased. "Is this how you go about your transactions?"

    "We are truly from Mysterious Organization." The captain had a faint smile on his face. The rest of his team members had smiling expressions on their faces as well.

    They truly couldn¡¯t do anything about that, as their organization¡¯s name was truly Mysterious Organization.

    "Hmph! Let me take a look..." The fortune teller sneered. However, his hands didn¡¯t slow down in the slightest. He pointed midair and put on an expression as if he was listening to something from the empty air before turning around and looking at them in amazement. "You are actually not lying to me." The fortune teller appeared at a loss. "Weird... Mysterious Organization... I have never heard of this faction. A new organization?"

    As for the expressions of the captain and the rest, they became solemn. They had been telling half lies to tease this fortune teller all along. Unexpectedly, he was truly capable of confirming their words.

    "I am capable of telling the authenticity of any given information," the fortune teller said indifferently.

    The group had expressions of amazement. Such an ability...

    "Fine... let us continue, then," the fortune teller stated calmly. "Use the information of your organization to trade for the solution you are all looking for. Since a new organization has appeared in the world, I must know about it."

    One of them snorted. "Hmph."

    What joke was this? All the core members of this organization would never betray the organization. A mere fortune teller like this...

    However, just as he took a single step forth, he was held back by the captain.

    "Tell him," the deputy captain said.

    Ah?

    Everyone else had a dumbstruck expression.

    Brother! Only this much and you are betraying the organization already?

    "He won¡¯t remember it anyway," the captain whispered. Only at that was everyone startled awake.

    True, this was the Nether Capital. Every single person here had been killed by them before. Every single person here would forget everything the next day. This fortune teller here was indeed quite capable, but regardless of how much he found out today, it would be pointless. Moreover, the world from several centuries ago wouldn¡¯t be rted to their current era anyway. Hence, so what if he was to find out about their organization?

    "This is the information..."

    The captain told him the Mysterious Organization¡¯s information honestly.

    As for the fortune teller, he appeared shocked for a long time. "The so-called A ss in your organization should be equivalent to a grandmaster, right? Mhm... yes, it is somewhat simr to the gold-ted assassins of the Assassin¡¯s Guild. However... your organization is actually an organization with so many members at such a level?" The fortune teller had a solemn expression. "Why has such an organization appeared in the world?"

    As for the group, they all had faint smiles on their faces. It would truly be weird if this fortune teller here actually knew of them.

    "Then... please dispel our doubts, mister," the captain said calmly.

    "Not a problem." The fortune teller recovered from his shock and continued, "To solve this dilemma you are all facing, it is quite simple. Although I am not aware of the actual crisis you all will be facing, from the heavens, I had a faint glimpse of the word ¡¯memory¡¯."

    They sunk into contemtion. "Memory..."

    "Oh, right." The fortune teller seemed to recall something else and added, "Even if you all are fated to be single for your whole lives, I advise you all to be on alert anyway. This green aura on your head is truly quite bizarre. It signifies fortune, yet at the same time, it signifies cmity as well."

    The fortune teller shook his head, seemingly confused.

    Everyone: "..."

    Soon, they left the fortune teller.

    Some of them were still confused after leaving, not knowing what to do with the word "memory" they had obtained from this fortune teller.

    "Memory..." The deputy captain contemted. "Could it be..." The captain nodded. "That¡¯s right. Make our preparations today. Early tomorrow morning, we can implement the new n. As for that fortune teller... forget about him. He will forget everything tomorrow anyway. Don¡¯t seek any unnecessary trouble."

    They nodded as a response. "Understood."

    Unbeknownst to them, at this time, in that shabby-looking house, several people walked out of a room. These people were Wang Chun and the rest. However, they all had extremely solemn expressions on their faces currently.

    The information given by the captain earlier was much more terrifying than they had imagined. The Mysterious Organization was much more terrifying than all their previous guesses.

    Chapter 294: bbering Viins

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Within the shabby building in the Nether Capital, everyone present had a solemn expression. Based on what the captain had told them, the Mysterious Organization had been established by the mysterious leader, his close confidantes, and 12 other top-notch A-ss super experts.

    These people were the pirs of support of this organization. Apart from this, they had 76 A-ss experts in their ranks. Every pair A-ss experts worked together to lead a number of B-ss gic warriors, forming a squad. All sorts of missions would be performed by these squads, such as killing their enemies, A-ss warriors included.

    It was also extremely rare for them to fail their missions. This organization had always been concealed in the dark. Subsequently, based on their guesses, factors such as Wang Yao¡¯s appearance and the incidents involving Chen Feng had caused the number of members in the organization to drop greatly.

    Out of their 12 top-notch A-ss experts, only 10 remained.

    Out of the other 76 A-ss experts, only 56 remained.

    As for B-ss warriors, the losses were even higher.

    As for the missions these squads were involved in, they had all failed, resulting in a great reduction of the organization¡¯s power. Despite all that, they still remained one of the top factions in the whole world. With 10 peak A-ss experts, 56 A-ss experts, and numerous B-ss warriors... even the thought of this number was sufficient to nt horror in one¡¯s heart.

    Facing the fortune teller that was supposed to be an NPC, it wasn¡¯t too hard to get the captain to leak information pertaining to the Mysterious Organization.

    "This information..."

    They all shivered in fear. They could imagine the kind of uproar it would cause when this was transmitted back to the Gic Union. Moreover, this was merely what this captain knew. What about information this captain was not aware of? For example, the identity of that mysterious leader and his close confidantes?

    The threat posed by the Mysterious Organization was much graver than they had imagined.

    "At least we can spoil this current mission of theirs." Chen Feng took off the fake beard he had on his face. With the high amount of gic abilities in his Myriad Illusions, it wasn¡¯t too hard for him to disguise himself as a fortune teller.

    Xu Fei gasped in admiration. "Are these guys so easy to trick?"

    "How is that possible?" Chen Fengughed. "The only reason they believed what I told them so easily is because the clue I gave them hints at an actual n they could try implementing."

    "Memory?" Wang Chun contemted.

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "That¡¯s right. Memory."

    They had indeed done a lot of tests previously. However, there were still quite a number of tests that they had yet to try. This test with the "memory" keyword was one of their untested ns. Chen Feng had thought of this n, yet he had not been able to implement it. To be more urate, he could not bear the possible repercussions of implementing this n.

    As such, this task would be handed over to the Mysterious Organization. After all...

    The night passed quietly.

    In the Nether Capital, within an ordinary-looking house, a little girl was ying around happily. She was molding the figurine of a certain life form using mud, having a lot of fun.

    The little girl was excited. "Father, look, I molded another little animal."

    A middle-aged man beside her smiled as he asked, "Oh, what is this?"

    The little girl nted her head as she thought before saying, "Mhm... lion! This must be a lion."

    "Ha." The middle-aged man burst out inughter. "Have you seen an actual lion before?"

    "No." The little girl appeared somewhat sad. However, she regained her high spirit shortly after. "This is most certainly what a lion looks like. Mhm... this is my rendition of a lion!"

    "Fine, fine, fine. Your very own lion," said the middle-aged man lovingly. "What about this one?"

    Embarrassed, the little girl said, "Mhm... that¡¯s a tiger." The tiger she had molded indeed looked quite odd.

    "If you say it is, then yes, it is a tiger," the middle-aged man replied with a smile.

    "Mhm... mhm... Father, when I recover from my illness, can you take me out to y around?"

    "Sure."

    "Father, can you preserve these animals I molded for me? I am going to make a huge amount of animals in the future..."

    "Sure."

    "Father... can you name these animals I made? They are exclusively mine..."

    "Sure. Mhm... what should I name them, then? Let¡¯s call that lion a death lion."

    The little girl¡¯s voice gradually grew softer. "Eww, Father, that is quite an unpleasant name... but since it¡¯s a name Father gave, then death lion it shall be called. How about that tiger over there?"

    "Father, I am somewhat tired."

    "Mhm, let¡¯s take a rest then."

    A loving expression appeared on the middle-aged man¡¯s face. Soon, as the night descended, their silhouettes disappeared amidst the darkness of the night.

    On the next day, after the sun rose, the members of the Mysterious Organization, who were already done with their preparations, readied to make their move.

    The moment the city sprung awake, the moment that familiar dialogue of the waiter was heard, a terrifying beam of light bloomed from the hand of one of them.

    The beam swirled around.

    Memory, recover!

    Bang!

    The terrifying radiance instantly covered every nook of the city.

    "Ah¡ª"

    Countless people were twitching on the ground, blood flowing out of their seven apertures.

    However, the members of this group merely watched on coldly.

    One second...

    Two seconds...

    Three seconds...

    The residents there woke up while twitching. Life seemed to seep into their previously turbid eyes. Their memories of the repeated days, all of them, resurfaced at this instant.

    "I... how..."

    The waiter grabbed his head with an unbelieving expression.

    For several centuries, he had been doing the same thing every single day!

    The butcher...

    The vegetable peddler...

    The Harmony Restaurant owner...

    ...

    Everywhere in this city, everyone was awoken at this instant.

    All their erased memories throughout the centuries had resurfaced. Those memories that had been locked in the depths of their souls were something that couldn¡¯t bepletely erased.

    Since their souls had not been destroyed, how was it possible for their memories to be truly gone?

    Everything was awoken.

    Everyone in the Nether Capital looked at themselves nkly. Only after a while did they ept this. However, in these short few seconds where they were nking out, their seven apertures were bleeding without stop.

    Not one of them was able to bear the bacsh caused by the emergence of several centuries worth of memories.

    Next, they died instantly.

    Everyone in the city died after reawakening their memories.

    Simr with the previous massacres, this was still a massacre, the only difference being the method in which the massacre was carried out. This time, they were killed by the reemergence of their memories; they were killed by pure mental shock.

    As all this was happening, a certain pair of eyes was shining brightly.

    "Found it!"

    A ray of light took a detour around every single citizen of this city and locked onto a single person.

    Target found!

    During the cmity where everyone was killed by the mental shock that resulted from the reemergence of their memories, there was a single person that was not affected by the mental shock, the only person immune to it.

    That was a middle-aged man in an ordinary-looking house. That¡¯s right. The purpose of this massacre, all of this was only to figure out who the actual enemy was.

    When the residents of this city were killed through direct attacks, that person would be able to fake his death. However, such an attack where everyone¡¯s memories reemerged, such a memory shock was something that one couldn¡¯t replicate by merely faking their death.

    As such, that single person who was unaffected was akin to a brightmp in a dark night. This was the so-called memory n. An extremely straightforward yet effective n.

    The captain erupted instantly. "It¡¯s you!"

    Bang!

    Bang!

    One after another, terrifying attacks erupted. Everyone in the group made their move with the middle-aged man as their target.

    "Kill!"

    The ice-cold attacks bloomed.

    However, just as all the attacks were about to reach the middle-aged man, his incredibly ordinary-looking eyes gleamed with a cold killing intent.

    "You are all... getting too excessive."

    Bang!

    A terrifying power erupted. All the attacksunched at him were instantly demolished. Every single person of the squad was instantly flung away, blood spurting out of their mouths without stop.

    "This is..."

    Everyone was shocked.

    Peak A ss! This middle-aged man was actually a peak A-ss warrior!

    "All of you deserve death!" The killing intent of the middle-aged man surged. A great battle was about to erupt at any moment.

    "Senior, please wait," the captain said suddenly. "This time, we are here to propose a transaction."

    What?

    The middle-aged man paused. As for Chen Feng¡¯s group that was hiding somewhere in the city, their hearts throbbed. Dang, what was going on now? This seemed to be deviating from their n...

    Wouldn¡¯t it be fine if they were to directly erupt into a battle and kill each other off?

    Why the heck had they started talking? What was the f*cking point of these viins having so many dialogues?

    Chen Feng had an ominous feeling. "It¡¯s going to get somewhat troublesome."

 Chapter 295: Forbidden Art?

    Chapter 295: Forbidden Art?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the Nether Capital, Chen Feng¡¯s scalp was feeling somewhat numb. His initial n of benefiting from the conflict between the other two parties had gone somewhat awry. He was aware that viins would normally have a lot to say, but he had never expected that these two viins of different factions here would actually start talking to each other.

    Damn! This wasn¡¯t logical! Shouldn¡¯t they have started fighting like mortal enemies the moment they met?

    "Why are you here?" the middle-aged man asked coldly.

    "We are only seeking a certain ability. We have no intention of hurting anyone," the captain said solemnly. "If this senior here is willing to hand over the art of necromancy to us, we are willing to purchase it with a high price."

    The middle-aged man¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "You killed my child."

    "Won¡¯t she be restored tomorrow?" With a smile, the captain continued, "If our transaction is sessful, we will be sure to guard this ce forever against further disturbances. Would senior be satisfied with this arrangement?"

    The middle-aged man was somewhat tempted.

    Distantly, Xu Fei cautiously asked Chen Feng, "Is this part of your n as well?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s face darkened.

    These two viins seemed to be getting along well. They would probably reach an agreement before long toplete a transaction rted to necromancy or something. At that point, Chen Feng¡¯s group would be in grave trouble.

    Shen Yi proposed, "Retreat? Perhaps we can hide ourselves as we wait for their transaction to conclude?"

    Chen Feng rejected that firmly. "That won¡¯t work."

    Although the Mysterious Organization was unaware that Chen Feng¡¯s group was here, the middle-aged man was aware of them.

    As of now, the middle-aged man was still unsure of the rtionship between Chen Feng¡¯s group and the group from the organization. He might assume that they were from the same side and had just arrived here in different waves. However, if their transaction were to conclude, he would most definitely be aware of who the actual party pulling tricks in the dark was.

    Wang Chun smiled bitterly. "What should we do, then?" How would it be so simple for them to reap the benefit of the sh of others?

    "Let me think..." Chen Feng muttered. The current situation was extremely unfavorable for them. That middle-aged man was a peak A ss. As for the group from the organization, there were two A-ss warriors and a whole bunch of B-ss warriors.

    Either of these two would be capable of crushing them at any time, and now it was even possible that they would join hands. This was quite a grave problem for Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    It was simply impossible for a perfect art of necromancy to exist. From what they had seen here, they had indeed observed some problems with it. The group from the Mysterious Organization was definitely aware of this as well. However, their mission was only to gather some new information to assist their research on this topic. As such, those issues didn¡¯t matter when it came to doing business with this middle-aged man.

    "I must think of something..." Chen Feng contemted.

    The only thing they could do was to spoil the trade. However, how should they go about doing that?

    That captain was evidently an intelligent person, since he had decided toe clean the moment they had met the middle-aged man. Moreover, he had also announced his identity and the horror of the organization he represented as a form of deterrence to help him reach an agreement easier.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "We can only make our move on that middle-aged man, then."

    Middle aged man... and that little girl... Suddenly, Chen Feng thought of something. "Ming Yue, do you have any necromancy-rted abilities?"

    Shua!

    Ming Yue¡¯s eyes suddenly narrowed.

    !!!

    Wang Chun and the rest widened their eyes.

    That¡¯s right! Ming Yue! As the strongest viin boss in theic, despite her strength being restricted in this world, she was still someone who possessed all death-rted abilities in theic. Since she was familiar with the power lingering here...

    Perhaps she would be able to unleash a true power of necromancy here?

    However, Ming Yue shook her head as a response. "That¡¯s not possible. Necromancy itself is an ability whose existence is impossible. It is simply impossible for an ability promising immortality to exist in the world. Even in the world we came from, such a power did not exist. The rules governing the world would ensure a bnce of nature. As life is created, some life must end as well..."

    Abruptly, Chen Feng and the rest were rmed. This was because something had suddenly popped into their minds: sacrifice!

    Every time a unique ability that could prolong one¡¯s life or grant one immortality was used, a countless amount of lives had to be offered as a sacrifice. If what Ming Yue said was correct... all of this was simply unrted to necromancy! Rather, it was a plundering, a plundering of the lives of others for one¡¯s own benefit.

    Here, in this city...

    Chen Feng¡¯s brain started working rapidly. This was merely a small ancient city with a poption of 2,200. Every single one of them would be active for around 12 hours per day. On average, for every single day that this city was restored, the cost to power that would be around 1,100 days worth of life, which would roughly equate to three years worth of life.

    In this gic era, the quality of a human¡¯s body was higher than the past. As such, the average lifespan of the people of this era was 120 years.

    In other words, if a young man of around 30 years old was killed, his remaining life span of around 90 years would be sufficient to support this city¡¯s operation for around one month.

    As for the explorers that would usually operate around the Nether Capital, a vast majority of them were in their 30s.

    If so... only 12 people needed to be killed per year to sustain this city¡¯s operation. For 10 years, only 120 people needed to be killed.

    A hundred years...

    Several hundred years...

    As it umted, this became a horrifying figure.

    Xu Fei recalled something. "The origin of the name Nether Capital seems to be from that single massacre that had happened here in the past! It was rumored that when this city initially became popr, it was also due to the spread of a certain unknown aura around here. With the Nether Capital as the center, everyone around this city was killed. After a long time, the smog remained in the air and countless explorers died aftering here. Only after that did this ce be known as Nether Capital," Xu Fei finished with a solemn expression.

    Right at this instant, the Shen Yi that had her head lowered for an unknown reason suddenly started talking, "I have sessfully analyzed the smog in the air. Within is some sort of life-absorbing power... This is not a death aura. Rather, it is some unknown power. The reason the A-ss expert from the Gic Union left after a short exploration in the past is most probably because his life force was being absorbed instead of this ce being actually dangerous," Shen Yi finished solemnly.

    At that, the hearts of everyone else chilled.

    Life force... smog...

    If an ordinary person were toe here, that would be akin to suicide. The wandering death lions out there and the countless amounts of B-ss beasts were all equally horrifying. Only A-ss experts were qualified to explore this ce. However, A-ss warriors were sharp enough to sense that their life force was being absorbed here. As such, none of them were willing to prate deeper into this ce.

    That was the reason no one had ever discovered the truth behind this city.

    If all this was correct, this was simply not some safe haven. Rather, this was a life-prolonging city built upon countless corpses.

    If the Mysterious Organization was able to get their hands on this method...

    Their expressions changed at the thought of this.

    The middle-aged man might be hateful, but he was ultimately a single person. As such, he would not be able to aplish much apart from prolonging his life here. However, if such a sinister power were to fall into the hands of the Mysterious Organization, Chen Feng was certain that a huge amount of people would be used by them as test subjects. This was definitely sufficient to threaten the world.

    Their hearts chilled. "These guys..."

    For something like this, the more they found out, the more horrified they became.

    Chen Feng¡¯s head ached. "Hence... this is another ¡¯world threat level¡¯ incident?"

    Bro, I only came here to hunt some death lions! Hello! What I want is truly something very simple! A single C-ss death lion or some peak C- or B-ss death lion leader is what I need at most. I only need a single drop of their blood for my gene reagent! Why am I encountering such incidents again?

    Chen Feng noticed that when he wasn¡¯t using his Luck Aura, his luck was obviously quite bad, as he would always find his way into all sorts of unexpected incidents.

    Was this Luck Aura he had fake?

    However, could he ignore this now that he had stumbled upon it?

    Such a forbidden art was too sinister. Chen Feng would hate to seerge scale funerals and ughtering worldwide in the future. At any moment, someone close to him might be ughtered for this as well. Moreover... they only knew about a part of what was going on here. Why had the death lions disappeared? Why had Nether City suddenly opened to outsiders? What happened that led to all this?

    For a city that had been repeating the same day for several centuries, every single day should have been the same. Such a change in behavior shouldn¡¯t have happened. Could it be that this middle-aged man was nning something? This was what Chen Feng¡¯s group was worried about.

    There was absolutely some big problem lingering here at this ce.

    Instinctively, they all looked at Chen Feng for an answer. "What should we do?"

    After all, Chen Feng was the one who had issued this mission. Coupled with his battle history where he had never failed, in times like this, it was normal for them to look at him for options.

    Chen Feng stared ahead as his eyes gleamed coldly. "What else can we do?"

    Ahead of them, the negotiations seemed to have reached the most crucial point.

 Chapter 296: Nether Capitalâ€™s Battle!

    Chapter 296: Nether Capital¡¯s Battle!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the Nether Capital, the sky was still enveloped by smog. At this ce littered with corpses, two experts were making their transaction without a care in the world.

    "These two can really talk a lot..." Chen Feng berated with a powerless feeling.

    He was aware that viins would normally have a lot to say. However, he had never expected it to reach this extent. These two weren¡¯t purely talking about some nonsensical things, though.

    It was obvious that the captain there was very seriously trying to reach an agreement. As for the guy in front of him, hidden behind his seemingly serious manner of negotiating was some hidden agenda.

    Perhaps...

    Chen Feng¡¯s group hid themselves quietly.

    After a long time, those two seemed to conclude their agreement. Multiple mysterious-looking yet powerful halos radiated around them, seemingly some sort of binding ability to ensure that both sides would adhere to what they had agreed to.

    "Since that¡¯s the case, please to impart the forbidden art to us, Senior," the captain said seriously.

    The middle-aged man nodded. "All right."

    However, right at this instant, several ck silhouettes charged out suddenly.

    Bang!

    Followed by a bright explosion, one familiar silhouette after another appeared. On them were the pitch-ck uniforms that were actually the same as what the members of the Mysterious Organization wore.

    "Who?"

    Instantly, everyone else there was rmed.

    The modified voice of Chen Feng drifted out from the mask he was wearing. "Senior Soul has an order for us. This person here has some hidden agenda. Kill without mercy!"

    "Senior Soul?" The captain nked momentarily at that. Other than them, Senior Soul had actually sent someone else here as well? How was that possible? He looked at the newly appeared group doubtfully.

    Chen Feng merely nced at him coldly. "Idiot."

    His whole body was hidden by the ck attire he was wearing, leaving only that pair of cold-looking eyes exposed.

    "Originally, it was believed that this person had the art of necromancy mastered. However, after some investigation, we noted that what this person knows is a fake necromancy art, something our organization has already been using for a long time. This sempleted art is something our organization mastered long ago." Chen Feng coldly continued, "A repeat on a daily basis where human sacrifices are required¡ªsuch a method of rebirth, what¡¯s the point? Is this guy not afraid of our retaliation for trading with us using such a useless art? Obviously, he is! Hence... from the start, he never intended to let us leave here alive! Senior Soul sent us here to rescue you all. The organization has already lost a huge amount of A sses. As such, we can¡¯t afford to lose more."

    Shua!

    The expressions of the middle-aged man and the captain changed greatly.

    Is that so?

    The captain had a bad feeling. This guy truly sounded convincing. A lot of things he mentioned were correct as well. All this coupled with the middle-aged man¡¯s current expression made him realize that he might have truly been taken for a ride this time.

    The captain red at the middle-aged man. "You dare to fool me?"

    "So you guys are together? How smart. However..." The middle-aged man shook his head in a regretful manner. "It¡¯s toote."

    "What?"

    Everyone else nked.

    This was especially true for the squad from the Mysterious Organization. What did he mean when he said that they were together?

    Bang!

    A terrifying aura bloomed from the middle-aged man¡¯s body. "Originally, I had only nned to use this after you guys left. Fine, I might as well show you pathetic fellows what true power looks like. Hahaha. Hehe."

    A cold killing intent bloomed.

    The middle-aged man erupted fully with his true strength.

    "Careful!"

    Everyone in the Mysterious Organization¡¯s squad had a solemn expression.

    As of now, none of them could be bothered about the "together" the middle-aged man had mentioned previously. This middle-aged man had a knack of speaking nonsense anyway. Who knew which of his words could be trusted?

    Furthermore...

    Bang!

    A terrifying pressure descended.

    Everyone could feel a powerful pressure, a superpowerful pressure belonging to a peak A ss.

    This middle-aged man was extremely powerful!

    Bang!

    Instantly, the sky above the Nether Capital was ripped apart. In the sky enveloped by smog, a boundless radiance appeared before ripping the sky apart, creating a long tunnel through the sky.

    When everyone looked at the torn sky, their expressions changed greatly. In there was a flourishing metropolis. Different from the deste Nether Capital, that city in the sky was a modernized city of their current gic era. In this era, even if it was a mere small city, there would be at least several hundred thousand inhabitants per city.

    The city was filled with life. That middle-aged man¡¯s target was actually these people, the inhabitants of this city.

    Everyone inhaled a mouthful of cold air. "He is going to ughter the city!"

    ughtering a whole city!

    This was something extremely terrifying to hear.

    Granted, Ming Yue and the squad from the Mysterious Organization had done the same thing here before. However, all of them were aware that everyone in the Nether Capital would be restored. They had only been trying to get out of this trap they had fallen into. As for this middle-aged man, he was using these people as a human sacrifice!

    "He is going to use the whole city as human sacrifices to sustain the Nether Capital!"

    Everyone¡¯s heart chilled.

    That was one whole city there, with several hundred thousand inhabitants! This guy...

    "That¡¯s the Sealed City."

    Everyone in the squad paled, as that city was the branch of the Mysterious Organization they were attached to. As their branch was near this area, almost all the missions in this area were handled by them. Unfortunately for them, due to the limited strength the middle-aged man possessed, the nearest metropolis his power could reach was only this Sealed City. This was purely coincidence and also his only choice at the same time!

    "This lunatic!" The captain started hurling abuses. Even if they had taken a countless amount of lives, they had never truly ughtered a whole city. He hadn¡¯t felt anything when killing the residents of Nether Capital that would never truly die. As far as they were concerned, these people here were all NPCs. As such, they had no feelings when killing these people.

    But when it came to the city they resided in... those several hundred thousand residents...

    Bang!

    In the sky, that dazzling radiance was even brighter now.

    An extremely terrifying super ability was condensing in the middle-aged man¡¯s hand. He was at peak A ss. Hence, how powerful would this secret art be that even this kind of peak expert would require a buildup of energy tounch it?

    This thought alone caused everyone to shiver.

    "What should we do?"

    Their expressions were unsightly.

    Stop it? They wouldn¡¯t be able to stop him. Even if they were all A-ss warriors, with their side having two A-ss warriors, they would still fail to stop him.

    With the disparity between their strength, they would not be able to defeat this middle-aged man. Furthermore, they were currently facing an old freak that had been alive for several centuries.

    Yes, they were in A ss as well, but the only thing they had inmon were their attributes. As for theirbat power...

    They might be able to unleash an A-ss attack with an amplifier of ten times the power. As for this middle-aged man, he would be able to unleash an A-ss attack with an amplifier of at least 100 times. The horror of a person who had been in A ss for several centuries was something none could imagine.

    None of them could know how thick his foundations truly were!

    Right at this moment.

    Hum¡ª

    The power started condensing in the air.

    In front of the middle-aged man, an illusory dragon appeared. Everyone could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within this dragon.

    Without a doubt, if the dragon was released, everyone in the Sealed City would definitely perish.

    "Take this chance to kill him!" the captain ordered.

    Since the middle-aged man needed to condense his power to form this secret art, now would be the perfect chance to kill him.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. Everyone unleashed their killing moves.

    However, shocking everyone there, right as their attacks touched the swirling radiance in the air, their attacks were instantly dissolved before being devoured and transforming into a part of the middle-aged man¡¯s power.

    All along, the middle-aged man hadn¡¯t moved. He had merely stood there and looked at them with contempt.

    "Damn it!"

    Everyone¡¯s expression became unsightly.

    Their attacks had instead became the energy supply of their enemy? That was too hateful!

    "We¡¯re finished."

    Their hearts chilled. Facing absolute strength, there was nothing they could do.

 Chapter 297: Celestial Shift!

    Chapter 297: Celestial Shift!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Secret art, eh..." Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. Immediately, he looked at the squad from the Mysterious Organization. "There should be someone among you with a space-rted ability, right?"

    Nowadays, a regr squad would normally have some space-rted capabilities. Regardless of whether it was used to break out of traps or kill their enemies, space-rted abilities were beneficial to have. Moreover, the mostplete of all squads would normally have all sorts of different abilities to help them deal with arge amount of different scenarios.

    The captain nodded. "Yes."

    "How about Space-Diminishing sh?" Chen Feng asked indifferently.

    Space-Diminishing sh was an extremely powerful 5-star secret art and the strongest space-rted ability a B-ss space warrior could master. It was also a defining ability for gic warriors that were focused on space-rted abilities.

    Function: Moves all sorts of attacks through space.

    That¡¯s right. This is what this ability was capable of. This secret art required the user to have five different abilities fused. As such, the minimum requirement for one to master this secret art was being a B-ss warrior.

    This was an extremely powerful secret art, regardless of whether it was used against physical attacks, prating attacks, energy-based attacks, or spiritual attacks.

    Almost all types of attacks could be moved by Space-Diminishing sh by instantly changing the position of theunched attack to a different position.

    Theoretically, as long as sufficient energy was provided, this secret art would be able to relocate every single attack in existence.

    Despite the fact that Chen Feng did not have this secret art mastered, he had heard of it long ago.

    "No." The deputy captain walked out. "But I know Celestial Shift."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "Celestial Shift?"

    Celestial Shift! A 6-star secret art that was the sequel to Space-Diminishing sh, an extremely powerful A-ss secret art capable of both attack and defense.

    If Space-Diminishing sh was something only capable of relocating attacks, Celestial Shift was able to use the power of space to bounce theunched attack back to the attacker. This was the most terrifying use of this ability.

    Chen Feng had guessed that they might have had Space-Diminishing sh in their possession. Unexpectedly, they had surprised him more. The member in charge of space-rted abilities in this squad happened to also be the deputy captain himself, an A-ss warrior that possessed a powerful A-ss secret art.

    "Very good." Chen Feng inhaled. "Things will be easier, then."

    The captain thought of something. "Don¡¯t tell me you are nning to..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was sharp. "That¡¯s right! Intercepting his attack forcefully."

    The captain rejected his proposal without hesitation. "Impossible."

    What a joke. Celestial Shift might be powerful, but it was not omnipotent.

    Against a weaker enemy, Celestial Shift would have a 100% sess rate in shifting attacks. However, the w of this secret art was quite obvious as well. Against a stronger enemy, the sess rate would drop.

    Against an enemy 10% more powerful, the sess rate would drop by 10%.

    Against an enemy 20% more powerful, the sess rate would drop by 20%!

    ...

    As for this enemy they were facing, he was more than 100% stronger than them. This was an old freak in the truest sense. After the deputy captain calcted his sess rate...

    Mhm...

    The sess rate might be as low as 0.00008%!

    He had reached this figure even after taking into consideration theplicity and unpredictability of the mysterious power of space. Otherwise, his sess rate would have been even lower. However, with such a sess rate, it was basically the same as 0%.

    This was simply a scam-like rate.

    He was sure that the moment he tried using this secret art he would be killed by the bacsh from the power of space. There was no need to doubt this. This was simply a battle between two people inpletely different leagues.

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "How will you know without trying?"

    "Impossible." The deputy captain would not do it even if they were to beat him to death.

    "So you guys are going to watch on as he destroys the Sealed City?" Chen Feng sneered. "It doesn¡¯t matter to us. We are direct subordinates of Senior Soul anyway. As for you all, hehehe... After losing even your base or operations, do you think the organization will let you off? Oh yeah, after this guy is done absorbing the life force of one whole city, do you have any idea how powerful he will be? Do you believe that you can even survive this encounter?" Chen Feng said indifferently.

    "But..." The deputy captain shook his head. "This will never work."

    "It will definitely work." Chen Feng¡¯s indifferent gaze swept past him. "Do you truly believe that Senior Soul only sent us here to make up the numbers? The only thing you need to do is activate your secret art. As for the rest, leave it to me."

    The deputy captain looked at Chen Feng doubtfully. "You?"

    He had no faith in Chen Feng, whose strength was merely C ss. That was simply too weak. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that there was a particrdy in their group that was emitting a somewhat terrifying aura from her body, they would have believed that these so-called reinforcements were here to joke around.

    "Ah." Chen Feng smiled calmly. "Have you heard of Spirit Sea wood?"

    Shua!

    The expressions of the captain and the deputy captain changed greatly.

    Spirit Sea wood! Could it be...

    Their gazes became spirited.

    "Do it," Chen Feng said as he looked at that illusory dragon in the sky, which was going to erupt at any moment. "We don¡¯t have much time remaining."

    The deputy captain hesitated momentarily before clenching his teeth resolutely.

    "Let¡¯s do it! It would be too hard to ensure Celestial Shift¡¯s sess. It would simply be impossible, even with the assistance of Spirit Sea wood. However, if I give up on bouncing the attack back to him and use the powered up version of Space-Diminishing sh instead, it might work."

    "Set the nearby mountain range as your target, then," Chen Feng said.

    The deputy captain inhaled deeply. "All right."

    He proceeded to revise the Celestial Shift into a powered up version of Space-Diminishing sh and set it to alter the course of this superpowerful peak A-ss attack from the Sealed City into a nearby mountain range.

    ...

    If it wasn¡¯t for the Spirit Sea wood mentioned by Chen Feng, he wouldn¡¯t have even dared to attempt this. However, even with the assistance of Spirit Sea wood...

    The deputy captain¡¯s eyes gleamed ferociously. "I can only give it my all!"

    "Come!"

    Bang!

    A terrifying power erupted from his body. Currently, in the air, the middle-aged man merely nced at them coldly. He wasn¡¯t the least bothered with them. Even if they were simrly in A ss, the disparity between their strengths was too wide.

    "It¡¯s nearly done..." The middle-aged man could feel the increase in strength of the power he was condensing in front of him.

    Done!

    Shua!

    Instantly, the radiance filling the whole sky gathered back into the dragon.

    The middle-aged man chanted, "Roaring through the Nine Prefectures!"

    With every single word of his, the momentum of his dragon intensified. When he finished chanting, the huge shining dragon solidified, transforming into a gigantic, seemingly alive golden dragon. This was the power of a superpowerful secret art.

    Howl!

    As the dragon howled, heaven and Earth trembled. Next, the dragon charged into the void, aiming toward the Sealed City.

    Currently, the huge pressure unleashed by the dragon could be felt even by Chen Feng¡¯s group, which was deep within the Nether Capital. How powerful exactly was the secret art unleashed by a peak A ss?

    "Do it!" Chen Feng bellowed.

    The deputy captain roared. "Ahh!"

    The Space-Diminishing sh that he had prepared in advance erupted.

    Shua!

    The space cracked and a mirror-like slit appeared in front of the crack in the air that the middle-aged man had created earlier, blocking the path of the dragon.

    This was the so-called Space-Diminishing sh. Essentially, it was a tiny slit created in midair.

    As the middle-aged man saw this, he sneered. "You are seeking your own death."

    That was indeed true. For a mere new A ss like that to dare move against him? Had this guy not seen the disparity in their strength? How idiotic...

    Currently, the middle-aged man was not the only person thinking that way. Even the deputy captain felt that he was doing an incredibly idiotic thing. However, he had no other choices. At times like this, trusting Chen Feng was the only option avable to him.

    The deputy captain roared at Chen Feng, "Quick, release the Spirit Sea wood."

    "Please wait a moment." Chen Feng had a sharp gaze. He ignored the anxious gazes of the squad and focused on the dragon. When it neared the Space-Diminishing sh and was about to touch it, he made his move.

    Shua!

    He pointed at the air.

    Luck Aura, unleash!

    Hum¡ª

    One point of luck value was exhausted.

    Low sess rate? Less than one in a million chance of sess?

    Unfortunately, before Chen Feng, as long as it was something concerning probability, it was no longer a concern. Only one point of luck value was required for him to intercept this super powerful attack of the peak A-ss.

    However... right at this moment.

    The middle-aged man calmly pointed at the air. "Clear."

    Shua!

    The golden dragon roared as the radiance around its body intensified. Next, the Luck Aura that Chen Feng had just activated failed the task it had been assigned.

    How is this possible?

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils shrunk.

    Failing? This was something he had never encountered.

    This middle-aged man possessed a power capable of contending against Luck Aura?

    No, that could not be true! Even that green guy had been incapable of such a thing; how was it possible for this guy here to have such a capability? If so, what was happening?

    Chen Feng sunk into a solemn mood.

    Perhaps... this middle-aged man had merely felt something bad and had chosen to simply increase the power of his golden dragon.

    However, with the transformation of the golden dragon and the increase in its strength, the originally pitiful sess rate of Space-Diminishing sh had be even lower than before. One could say that the dragon had be so powerful that their sess rate had been reduced to 0%. Only in such situation would his Luck Aura fail to work.

    Right at this moment.

    Ka!

    The golden dragon collided with the Space-Diminishing sh in the air.

    Pu!

    Only their aura had collided, yet it was enough to cause the deputy captain to start spurting blood. Their disparity in strength was too great. As such, it was simply impossible for him alone to resist this.

    The deputy captain¡¯s heart chilled. "It¡¯s over."

    He knew that he shouldn¡¯t have trusted that damnable guy that hade to reinforce them! The bodies of everyone else in his squad chilled as well. If the dragon was sessfullyunched, would they be able to survive this?

    Right at this moment, Chen Feng once again pointed midair.

 Chapter 298: An Earth-Shattering Battle That Cant Be Described with Words

    Chapter 298: An Earth-Shattering Battle That Can¡¯t Be Described with Words

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Shua!

    A bizarre power spread out.

    When pointing, Chen Feng did it with a casual and simple manner. The enjoyment of putting forth such an act did notst long, however, as an expression of pain appeared on his face shortly after. A total 1,000 of points of luck value were exhausted by that single act of pointing at the air.

    The second time his Luck Aura activated, a certain feedback was received by his Luck Aura: Due to this not being a problem concerning probability, it was not possible for it to seed with only one luck value. This would only seed when the mysterious power of space itself was affected by Luck Aura.

    In other words, reality needed to be altered this time, resulting in 1,000 points of luck value being exhausted. During this whole month, he had only saved up 1,200 points of luck value. Now, this single move of his had wasted 1,000 points. From this, the terror of a battle at this level was quite apparent.

    However... the effect of his Luck Aura was quite clear as well. The moment his luck value dropped, that slit in the air, which had almost been pierced through by the dragon, became as powerful as someone who had used kamsutram oil 1 .

    It proceeded to swallow the entirety of that terrifying golden dragon.

    Shua!

    At this instant, the golden radiance covering the sky started fading.

    "This..."

    The middle-aged man was dumbstruck.

    The squad was dumbstruck.

    Even the deputy captain, who had unleashed the Space-Diminishing sh, was dumbstruck as well.

    The... heck?

    It had seeded?

    Even he himself couldn¡¯t believe it. That was Roaring through the Nine Prefectures that the middle-aged man had unleashed there. That was an incarnation of a dragon. A long and thick dragon.

    The huge golden dragon that had been condensed from a countless amount of energy had been swallowed by that tiny little slit in the air.

    This, this, this...

    Everyone else nked for a long time. That was truly too inconceivable.

    The whole squad stared at Chen Feng with shock in their eyes, but Chen Feng merely smiled profoundly as a response. "Are the methods Senior Soul has at his disposal something people like you can seeing?"

    At that, everyone was startled awake. Senior Soul... They were indeed aware that Senior Soul was powerful. However, they had never expected Senior Soul to be so powerful.

    A random move of his was already capable of erasing a superpowerful attack unleashed by a peak A-ss old freak that had been alive for several centuries. What about the power he could personally unleash, then?

    They were all filled with reverence. He was indeed a legendary figure!

    Currently, seeing the giant dragon¡¯s disappearance, the middle-aged man was furious.

    The middle-aged man¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Space-Diminishing sh... hehe. The Space-Diminishing sh is only capable of swallowing it. Do you think that I will not be able to control it just because you swallowed it?"

    "Condense!"

    Bang!

    Space cracked. A terrifying radiance flickered in the middle-aged man¡¯s eyes. He was unleashing an ability no one knew about or had ever seen. None of them knew the true amount of horrifying secret arts mastered by this old freak who was several centuries old.

    The effect of what he had just done was extremely astonishing. The swallowed golden dragon was actually slowly crawling out of the crack in space. It had forcefully pierced through space itself.

    Everyone was horrified. "What a terrifying power."

    This was not some secret art. Rather, this was pure brute force. He had used his superpowerful strength to slowly pull that golden dragon out of the slit in the air.

    This was too horrifying a scene.

    The deputy captain¡¯s eyes gleamed viciously. "Trying to escape?"

    If his Space-Diminishing sh had failed to even work, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to do much, but now that his Space-Diminishing sh had seeded in swallowing the dragon, the space within his Space-Diminishing sh contained a power strong enough to swallow this dragon up. He could clearly feel the terrifying amount of energy currently stored within his Space-Diminishing sh.

    "Return!" the deputy captain howled.

    A huge suction power appeared from the inside the Space-Diminishing sh, sucking that golden dragon back in.

    The middle-aged man snorted coldly. "Hmph!"

    Once again, he unleashed a formidable power to forcefully pull the huge dragon back out.

    Thereupon, in the sky above the Nether Capital, a scene where a thick and solid gigantic golden dragon was being inserted and pulled out of a clean-looking slit could be seen.

    asionally, some golden radiance sshed around the slit as well.

    Mhm...

    Chen Feng sunk into silence.

    Wang Chun sunk into silence.

    The squad was not making any noise either.

    As for Shen Yi and the other girls, they couldn¡¯t continue watching.

    This current scene...

    "This feels somewhat..." After studying it for a bit, Xu Fei had an odd expression on his face. "This looks like¡ª"

    Shua!

    Several vicious resnded on him.

    Ming Yue made a scissor sign with her hand. Immediately, Xu Fei shut his mouth in fear. However, that odd expression remained in his eyes. But it really looks so simr to that!

    The middle-aged man snorted before pulling the dragon out. "Hmph!"

    The deputy captain clenched his teeth and swallowed the dragon back in. "Ha!"

    "..."

    Chen Feng was copsing.

    Bro, isn¡¯t this supposed to be a battle between top experts? You both are supposed to represent the peak of existences in this world. Can¡¯t you fight properly instead of simting this scene of two different sexes?

    That scene unfolding midair apanied by the sound effects of the two guys gasping for breath caused one to not be able to even look straight at it anymore.

    Ultimately, though, the middle-aged man obtained a slight advantage. Under his terrifying control, that huge golden dragon that had been swallowed was slowly being dragged out.

    "Not good." The deputy captain had an ominous feeling. He could feel that he was almost losing control. This middle-aged man was too powerful, far exceeding their imagination.

    The middle-aged man smiled coldly. That smile appeared so bitingly cold. "You all do not know what true power is."

    "Just guide the trajectory and release it!" Chen Feng said suddenly.

    The deputy captain was already perspiring all over. "I can¡¯t lead it somewhere else."

    Damn it!

    As the middle-aged man¡¯s control over the golden dragon increased, he couldn¡¯t even shift the attack to a mountain range nearby anymore. That middle-aged man was simply too terrifying.

    "Aim it under him, then," Chen Feng said coldly.

    The deputy captain was dumbstruck.

    Under him?

    Under him?!

    A power at such level, if it was aimed below that middle-aged man, wouldn¡¯t they all die? He was sure that everyone here, his captain included, would not be able to block a power at such a level. That was a super powerful secret art unleashed after a long condensation time by that old freak.

    Chen Feng merely stared at him coldly. "Just release it. Would Imit suicide?"

    The deputy captain clenched his teeth. True.

    As he recalled the scene earlier where his Space-Diminishing sh had seeded, he decided to trust Chen Feng one more time. After clenching his teeth and stamping his feet on the ground, he directly released the dragon toward the Nether Capital.

    He couldn¡¯t lead the dragon somewhere further away. However, the Nether Capital was right below the dragon and would not pose a problem.

    Shua!

    A terrifying power was unleashed. Everyone watched on with an unsightly expression.

    All the warriors in the squad were trembling with fear. Regardless of whether they were B- or A-ss warriors, facing such a powerful attack, they were akin to weak insects!

    This was arge-scale attack! Even the captain of the squad discovered with grief that, apart from trembling in fear, he couldn¡¯t do anything.

    This was the saddest fact of their current predicament. He was in A ss, yet he was so helpless!

    However, right at this moment, the biggest change of expression actually appeared on the previously proud-looking middle-aged man.

    Not good! These people are aiming for the Nether Capital!

    He was too clear on how powerful he and this attack were. If such an attack were tond on the Nether Capital, all his hard work throughout these years would be wasted.

 Chapter 299: Finally, the Plot Caught Up!

    Chapter 299: Finally, the Plot Caught Up!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "This absolutely won¡¯t do."

    The middle-aged man¡¯s body chilled. Everything he had done was for the immortality of the Nether Capital as a whole. The moment the Nether Capital was destroyed, it would be pointless even if he became unequaled under the heavens. Without the Nether Capital and his daughter, what was the point of everything he had done?

    "Ah ah ah ah¡ª" he yelled.

    The radiance around his body intensified, and under his forceful control, the golden dragon, whose trajectory had already changed toward the Nether Capital, deviated from its path and was aimed toward a nearby mountain range instead.

    Bang!

    At that instant, the effect of the Space-Diminishing sh vanished as well. That perfectly straight golden dragon was finally pulled out of the crack in the air. However, due to the efforts of the deputy captain and the middle-aged man, its only destination was that nearby mountain range that had existed for an unknown period of time.

    Bang!

    The whole sky turned gold.

    Everyone raised their heads. They could vaguely see that, the moment that golden dragon had escaped the crack in the air, it had transformed into a boundless golden radiance before shooting toward the nearby mountain range.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Gold radiance bloomed.

    The world was enveloped in gold.

    After a long time, when the gold radiance disappeared and everyone could see clearly once again, they couldn¡¯t help but inhale mouthfuls of cold air at what they saw. The entirety of that mountain range waspletely gone.

    The whole mountain range had been destroyed by the gold radiance. Only now did they realize the horror of that golden dragon. Just the thought of such power caused one to shiver.

    rming everyone was also the fact that beside the middle-aged man was a clumped up red and blue ball of light that contained a bizarre power and was flickering without stop in the air. From within that ball, a familiar power could be felt.

    Shen Yi widened her eyes. "This is... Life force!"

    "How is that possible?"

    Everyone¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    Roaring through the Nine Prefectures had obviously failed, as it had been led toward the mountain range instead of its original destination. How was it possible for this guy to still have harvested life force?

    Unless...

    They all realized something.

    "That¡¯s right." The middle-aged man had a gloomy expression on his face. "This is the life force of the 100,000 mutated beasts residing within that mountain range. Do you believe that only humans possess life force? Hehehehe."

    The sinisterugh rmed everyone.

    Chen Feng was able to calm himself down quickly, though. "A mutated beast has a longer life span. As such, its life force should be stronger as well. With 100,000 mutated beasts, the total avable life force should be much higher than what¡¯s avable at Sealed City, right? However...it doesn¡¯t seem like you have actually absorbed any of them all these years? I suppose there are a lot of limitations when ites to absorbing the life force of mutated beasts, right?" Chen Feng guessed.

    "..." Only at this did the middle-aged man raise his head. "You are very intelligent. That¡¯s right. Hehe..."

    "It would be so much better if I had absorbed the life force of humans instead. Although the life forces of mutated beasts is vigorous, the amount of impurities is much higher as well. As such, they are very difficult to absorb. When absorbing a human¡¯s life force, I will gain 100% of their life force. As for mutated beasts, only 1% would be truly absorbed. The difference is too big. However, 100,000 mutated beasts..." The middle-aged man inhaled deeply and continued, "is still better than nothing."

    Hum¡ª

    The radiance of the red and blue ball of light in front of the middle-aged man intensified. Red was the color signifying life force, and blue was the color signifying the impurities of the mutated beasts. Both colors interweaved constantly as they went out of control in the ball. To absorb a small amount of life force, a huge amount of impurities needed to be cleared. That was the reason absorbing the life force of mutated beasts was such an inefficient task.

    Shua!

    The middle-aged man stepped into the red and blue ball of light.

    Absorption began!

    "Go!" Chen Feng shouted abruptly.

    "The power of that thing he is absorbing is too terrifying," The squad from the Mysterious Association said in horror.

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was sharp. "Don¡¯t worry. He just unleashed Roaring through the Nine Prefectures a little while ago before subsequently altering the course of his secret art with force. The amount of power he has left presently is quite low. That is the reason he is being so impatient in absorbing the power contained in that ball despite the amount of impurities. Presently, he is at his weakest state. The moment hepletes his absorption..." Chen Feng said coldly.

    Everyone was enlightened.

    "So that¡¯s the case."

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The squad made their move immediately.

    The middle-aged man coldly shouted, "You are all courting death!"

    Even if the power he had now was quite low in amount, his natural rate of regeneration was recovering it without stop. With the strength of these opponents he was facing, it was simply impossible for them to be able to interrupt his absorption.

    To be urate, even the speed at which they could damage him was slower than the speed at which he could regenerate his power.

    Hehe... Soon, you will all know what true horror is. The middle-aged man proceeded to defend against their attacks while absorbing the power from that ball of light in a casual manner. However, he did not notice that, presently, a sneer had appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    Luck Aura, activate!

    Calmly, Chen Feng pointed at the red and blue ball of light.

    "Yi?"

    The middle-aged man that was absorbing the power without stop had a weird feeling. He had only absorbed 1/1000 of the power in the ball, yet he no longer felt any of the power within the ball. As he paid more attention, he noticed that everything he attempted to absorb had turned into impurities.

    How is this possible?

    The middle-aged man widened his eyes. The power of that ball of light was something uncontroble. This was something simr in theory to the evolution of genes, something one couldn¡¯t control. If not for that, he would have peeled the blue impurities away from the ball before proceeding to absorb all the life force in it. Within that ball of light, two different powers of red and blue were interweaving and operating at an extremely high speed, resulting in him not having any sort of control over them despite his strength.

    But now...

    The middle-aged man¡¯s lip went dry from the shock. "How is this possible?"

    Absorb!

    Absorb!

    He attempted to absorb without stop, yet only the impurities were absorbed.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The squad started attacking furiously as they saw this.

    "Damn it!" The middle-aged man had an unsightly expression. He knew that this had to be some secret art of his enemy. However, he couldn¡¯t do anything against this.

    The middle-aged man¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Since that¡¯s the case, I will first clear all the impurities before continuing..."

    This wasn¡¯t necessarily a bad thing.

    Since someone else was helping him separate the impurities from the life force, he only needed to focus on purely dealing with the impurities; what remained would be pure life force. That was the pure life force of 100,000 mutated beasts, an amount much higher than what he would obtain if he were to y an entire human city. If he was able to clean all the impurities before starting to absorb the life force, it was possible for him to directly advance to a new level.

    He was overjoyed. This was potentially a good thing for him.

    "Come!" he howled, and the power around him intensified as he started clearing the impurities furiously. Initially, both the red and blue power had been interwoven together, forcing him to slowly control his act of absorbing the life force and dealing with the impurities that resulted in his overall slow absorption speed. Now, though, since he was only absorbing impurities, he did not even need to bother controlling what he was doing. The only thing he needed to do was focus on eliminating the impurities, dealing with all the impurities in one go.

    The amount of blue in the ball was reducing rapidly. However... the middle-aged man¡¯s remaining power was also reducing as well, since he needed to exhaust his power to deal with the blue impurities. He was clear that he only needed to survive this and he would be stronger than before. However, how would Chen Feng allow him this?

    "Go!"

    The squad started attacking furiously.

    Under his normal condition, nobody here was the middle-aged man¡¯s opponent, but after that disaster earlier, he no longer had much power remaining in him. Regardless of how weak that squad from the Mysterious Organization was, they still had two A-ss warriors in their ranks, after all. On top of that, there were also a bunch of B-ss warriors assisting the two A-ss warriors.

    The battle erupted. As for Chen Feng¡¯s group, they merely watched on silently.

    This battle was something triggered by Chen Feng anyway. Now that both sides were killing each other, it would be the best if they ended up killing each other. Even if that did not happen, they would at least damage each other greatly.

    Or perhaps... one side would be killedpletely while the other was crippled. With this, Chen Feng¡¯s group would stand a chance against the survivor.

    The best result would be the death of that middle-aged man and the squad severely damaged. That was what Chen Feng was looking forward to. The scenario where the viins strayed from their original intention due to mere words and started fighting each other for him to reap the final reward had finally happened.

    "Hu¡ª" Chen Feng inhaled deeply. His Luck Aura noiselessly activated and started operating, with both sides suffering extreme damage as the aim. Luck Aura started working toward this final goal, causing something to happen every now and then. The reduction of luck value was rather slow, as only one point would be reduced after a long interval of time.

    Since thebatants of this battle were too powerful, there was no chance that Chen Feng could actually participate in it.

    As the battle progressed, without anyone realizing, the bald Xu Fei who had always seemed useless disappeared from everyone¡¯s line of sight noiselessly.

 Chapter 300: Mutation!

    Chapter 300: Mutation!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang!

    A set of skeletons were sted apart. Xu Fei rubbed his somewhat aching hand. As the smog bubbled up around him, along with the appearance of a certain mysterious power, these corpses that had been dead for an unknown number of years started moving again.

    He was currently outside the Nether Capital, but on the opposite side of where they hade from previously. Here, from the soil, one corpse after another crawled out.

    These were the human sacrifices used for the continuation of this city throughout the years. Their life force had been used as a sacrifice, and their bodies had been left to rot here. Apanying thetest round of sacrifices initiated by the middle-aged man, their bodies hade to life.

    Xu Fei contemted. "So that huge skeleton we met previously was also formed of these small skeletons?"

    Under the effect of the mysterious death aura, despite not possessing a consciousness, these corpses had still maintained their basic instincts and deep hatred toward the middle-aged man.

    "Vengeful skeletons?"

    Xu Fei was figuring it out.

    Ka!

    Ka!

    The monstrous sounds reverberated through the air.

    These newly revived skeletons started fighting each other randomly, attacking every moving thing around them. Groups of skeletons started fighting each other. On top of that, those people who seemed to have been in the same group when alive had once again grouped together now. Those who appeared to be have been a couple when alive started performing that deed of the two sexes right there on the spot. To satisfy his curiosity, Xu Fei took a nce at them, and he had a feeling that he was looking at some mechanical-bearingponents... That feeling he was getting was truly hard to put into words.

    However, this situation did not persist for long.

    Soon, seemingly interrupted by some powerful willpower, the minds of these skeletons joined together into a singr extreme hatred toward amon target, resulting in the end of their fights against each other.

    Silently, Xu Fei concealed himself and observed as the skeleton army swept forth like a locust. On their way, every living mutated beast they encountered was killed.

    "This trajectory..." Xu Fei¡¯s heart trembled. "Chen Feng is not tricking me, right?"

    Right at this moment, that skeleton army stopped moving. Distantly, numerous howls could be heard. Those death lions hidden around the Nether Capital had finally appeared. Their numbers were terrifying high.

    "Death lions." Xu Fei¡¯s eyes shone. "You have finally appeared..."

    ***

    At the Nether Capital, the battle was still progressing. The squad from the Mysterious Organization was giving their all with Chen Feng¡¯s group assisting from the side. However, they were still unable to contend against that middle-aged man whose strength had been greatly weakened.

    Pu!

    A moment of carelessness and Chen Feng was flung away with serious injuries.

    "Careful."

    Wang Chun and the rest retreated hastily.

    The captain frowned. These people were too weak! Even if they were direct subordinates of Senior Soul, even if they possessed certain unique abilities, theirbat power was still too weak! Having them join in the battle was akin to lugging baggage around.

    "You guys can just stay there. Leave this to us," the captain said coldly.

    "All right. I have already dispatched someone to notify Senior Soul. He will be here soon," Chen Feng said solemnly.

    The captain had a solemn expression as well as he said, "All right."

    Chen Feng caught the glimpse of a certain someone from the corner of his eyes. He proceeded to feign an extremely weak appearance before saying to Wang Chun, "Help me to a nearby room so I can rest."

    They entered the room.

    Within the room, Xu Fei was waiting with a huge, unconscious mutated beast.

    Chen Feng was amazed. "The size is quite big."

    Xu Fei was proud. "Hehe. This was the final survivor among that bunch of death lions and also the strongest death lion. After I knocked it out, I dragged it here."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Mhm. That¡¯s good then."

    Pu!

    He killed the death lion leader easily and extracted its blood essence. He had been waiting a long time for this moment. His initial purpose here had only been to obtain a small amount of death lion blood essence. God only knew why he had ended up drawn into the affairs here. As of now, they appeared quite safe, since they had pretended to be part of the Mysterious Organization. In truth, they were in quite a bit of danger regardless of which party was victorious in the battle progressing outside.

    It was quite probable for all of them to perish here. As such, Chen Feng needed to increase his strength. Fusion and breakthrough!

    Shua!

    Chen Feng started his production decisively.

    "Seal off the aura in here," Wang Chun whispered.

    Shen Yi nodded. "Mhm."

    Hum¡ª

    A bizarre, faint aura shed into existence.

    This was an ability unique to Shen Yi, a sealing ability originating from a different world. This ability had protected Chen Feng¡¯s group from being detected by spiritual energy scans countless times before. This was an ability nobody could circumvent.

    Outside the room, the battle was still progressing. Unknown to any of them, the Chen Feng who had retired due to severe injuries had secretly started gene production.

    Chen Feng checked the feedback. "200 luck value..." It was enough!

    Hu¡ª

    He inhaled deeply and, with a resolute gaze, started his first step: form improvement!

    Shua!

    Light swirled around before his eyes.

    Instantly, he entered his hyper-dimensional mode and started improving the form. The numerous materials he had produced in advance were taken out of his bag one after another.

    Gene materials, gene form...

    ...

    Soon, he exited the hyper-dimensional mode. After 100 points of luck value, the form improvement process had beenpleted. This powerful C-ss ability hadpletely transformed under Chen Feng¡¯s modification. As for its new effect...

    He would only find that out after producing it.

    Wang Chun was somewhat anxious. "I¡¯m afraid this won¡¯t be enough."

    Producing a gene reagent right under their enemy¡¯s nose was too unbridled a behavior. Even with Shen Yi sealing off their aura, they couldn¡¯t hide this for long. The moment they were discovered...

    Shen Yi wrinkled her tiny nose. "I can only keep this up for 10 minutes."

    In the past, she would only be required to activate her ability when their enemies were scanning the area. This time, she had to fully maintain it without the slightest bit of ck in her activation.

    "Ten minutes..." Wang Chun muttered. He had no idea why Chen Feng had insisted on producing a gene reagent at a time like this. However, he had to be quick about it!

    Wang Chun was anxious.

    Currently, Chen Feng had only gotten started on the actual gene production. Countless gene fragments were in front of him as Chen Feng operated speedily with a sharp gaze. He had long ago familiarized himself with the manner in which these gene fragments would swirl around. Due to the existence of his Luck Aura, the so-called "gene production skills" had long be a unique trump card of his.

    Gene search: one luck value exhausted, three seconds taken.

    Gene reaction: one luck value exhausted, three seconds taken.

    Gene fusion: one luck value exhausted, three seconds taken.

    Sealing up: one second taken!

    In 10 seconds, Chen Feng hadpleted the whole production.

    Chen Feng rubbed the bottle of gene reagent in his hand. "Done."

    Wang Chun stared nkly. "Done?"

    Chen Feng nodded. "Mhm. It has been hard on Lady Shen Yi."

    Shen Yi: "..."

    Ten seconds? For this so-called strongest fusion gene reagent in C ss?

    They were all aware that Chen Feng was a genius in regard to gene production. However, such a feat where he produced a gene reagent in 10 seconds, wasn¡¯t this too much of a freakish feat?

    They were all somewhat dumbstruck by this.

    Chen Feng merely ignored them and focused his gaze on the fusion gene reagent he was holding.

    A gene reagent produced using the strongest death lion leader, 100 luck value to improve the form, and a further three luck value for a perfect production... How powerful would this gene reagent be?

    Shua!

    Gene scan.

    ----

    "Lockdown?"

    Chen Feng widened his eyes. If he remembered correctly, the original Nethergaze provided an amplifier of 1000% when attacking the weak point. Now, the amplifier had changed in a way where the longer the time his opponent was locked on to, the higher the amplifier would be?

    Tenfold?

    No...

    After mutation, this limitation no longer existed. It hadpletely changed into a different ability. Theoretically, if Chen Feng had sufficient energy and time...

    He would be able to insta-kill anything!

 Chapter 301: Compromise and Use It???

    Chapter 301: Compromise and Use It???

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Hum¡ª

    Without a sound, Chen Fengpleted his fusion. When his shut eyes once again opened, the world before him seemed to have changedpletely. The whole world appeared dark, only a single red crosshair hovering on the people in front of him. This was the Nethergaze locking down on the weak points of everyone present.

    This was the world of the Nethergaze!

    Suddenly, a pitch-ck silhouette shed, and the amount of people locked onto by Chen Feng was reduced by one.

    Yi?

    Chen Feng was somewhat bbergasted.

    Hum¡ª

    Before his eyes, a cold gleam shed past, and among the darkness, a red-colored silhouette stood up and started walking toward him.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed. "Who is it?"

    This was the world of Nethergaze, a unique spiritual world belonging to himself, a spiritual world that was created by the Nethergaze ability. How was it possible for someone to enter this world?

    From the appearance of that silhouette...

    Chen Feng focused his gaze. "It¡¯s her?"

    Shua!

    With a sh of that silhouette, Chen Feng felt himself enveloped by a chilling radiance. That was Ming Yue¡¯s power! Ming Yue, the third summon of Wang Chun.

    The strongest boss viin in the Crystal Pce. Her present strength was unknown, she possessed an unstable temperament, and her trump cards were unknown. Due to her massive strength, she was even able toe out without being summoned by Wang Chun.

    This was a person that couldn¡¯t be controlled. Within Chen Feng¡¯s current n, this woman was definitely not relied on, regardless of her strength. If she wasn¡¯t limited by the strength of Wang Chun, she would have already been undefeated under the heavens when she had been summoned.

    Her power seemed to be somewhat simr to the power lingering in this city. However, after entering the Nether Capital, she had been maintaining a low profile, causing everyone to almost neglect her existence.

    Now, she actually dared to make a move against Chen Feng!

    Moreover, the ce she had chosen was this unique world of Nethergaze!

    Shua!

    The chilling radiance enveloped Chen Feng as Ming Yue shone with a red radiance. The illusory-looking radiance had directly entered the depth of the Nethergaze¡¯s world.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "What is this woman thinking of doing?"

    Due to Wang Chun, Chen Feng was curious about thisic and had once read some of it. He hadn¡¯t read a lot of them, but he was sure that she absolutely did not possess this ability she was currently disying. This was an ability he had never seen before!

    A cold voice drifted through the air. "Condense!"

    A unique ray of light shed through the air as Ming Yue¡¯s illusory body phased through Chen Feng¡¯s body. The power passing through him caused Chen Feng¡¯s heart to palpitate.

    Next, in front of him, a mysterious red line linking him and Ming Yue together appeared.

    What was that? Chen Feng was shocked.

    "What do you think?" Ming Yue started walking toward him with a bright smile on her face. Her illusory body started solidifying, disying her enchanting curves. "It¡¯s not easy for such an opportunity to appear before me," Ming Yue said with a smile. "With you as the link, I can truly break free from Wang Chun and enter this world for real. Oh, right. This thing is called the marriage link...Don¡¯t look down on it because of its small size; it is quite the powerful item. An example of its ability is: sharing. In your body is a power I have never seen before." Ming Yue smiled as she looked at Chen Feng. "When the Space Diminishing sh was used earlier, I witnessed how formidable that power in you is. Now, with us linked together, I will be able to sense that power soon... I am truly curious, what power is it, exactly?"

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. This fellow here was targeting his Luck Aura?

    Sharing...

    He looked at the red line joined to his body. "This thing can¡¯t be cancelled?"

    "No."

    Chen Feng contemted. "My power will be shared with you, and I will obtain your power?"

    Ming Yue smiled as she said, "Naturally. However, this is a blood contract. It will use the power of one¡¯s bloodline to determine the ratio in which both our powers are shared. In this world, nothinges free.

    "An incident where a normal person transformed into a world-shattering expert after this link was established has never happened. This link will decide the ratio of the power shared based on the strength of the bloodline of the linked people. Oh, using thenguage of this world, it should be called genes. The stronger the genes within a person, the stronger the portion of the shared power that person will obtain. After all, if a regr person were to suddenly obtain too powerful a strength, that person would be killed by the oversupply of power. As for us... tee hee. I can obtain 99% of your power using only 1% of my power. Isn¡¯t that fair?" A fiendish smiled appeared on Ming Yue¡¯s face.

    Chen Feng sunk into a solemn mood.

    What damnable sharing was this.

    He had heard of sharing a bike, a portable charger, and even sharing a girlfriend before. There were even some who shared the same chamber pot. However, this was the first time he had heard of sharing power.

    This was obviously a trade rather than sharing. Moreover, this was a shameless, forceful trade.

    Granted, even 1% of Ming Yue¡¯s power would be extremely powerful. However, why would Chen Feng want 1% of her power? She was only B ss presently.

    If the trade was based on their present strength, it would be fine, but it was based on bloodlines and genes...

    For a normal human like Chen Feng, how could hepare in terms of bloodline or genes with this inhuman Ming Yue? She was simply robbing him of his power here.

    "Tee hee."

    A yful smile appeared on Ming Yue¡¯s face as her curvy body pasted onto Chen Feng¡¯s body, "I have been waiting several days for this chance. Then... let us begin."

    Bang!

    A ray of light enveloped both Chen Feng and Ming Yue.

    The trade began! That red line linking them was radiating intensely.

    Hum¡ª

    The whole of the Nethergaze world was nketed in red.

    Currently, in the real world, Ming Yue¡¯s body was leaning against the wall, as if she had fallen asleep. As for the Chen Feng who had just fused with his new gene reagent, his pair of eyes were radiating a terrifying red radiance.

    Everyone was shocked. "What¡¯s going on with him?"

    "Most probably, he¡¯s testing his new ability," they guessed.

    However, if they were to pay close attention to him, they would be able to notice that within Chen Feng¡¯s blood-red eyes, a silhouette could be vaguely seen. That was Ming Yue!

    "Don¡¯t struggle," Ming Yue said gently.

    Chen Feng stared at her coldly. "The only reason you did this was to obtain that unknown power of mine?"

    "Naturally not." While smiling, Ming Yue continued, "Didn¡¯t I tell you earlier? There¡¯s also your status! This is the marriage link. Don¡¯t you know what marriage is? The both of us will be bound together in the future. You will possess the imprint of my world, and I will possess the imprint of this world. This means that you can enter my world as you wish as well! As for me, I no longer need to rely on Wang Chun. I can live my life freely here in this world, and I can even restore the power I once possessed!"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    So he was now something simr to a Beijing Residency holder? And this youngdy here, in order to be qualified to purchase a property at Beijing, had forced him to marry her?

    Chen Feng sighed. "What will happen if I am dead?"

    "I will die as well." After thinking for a moment, Ming Yue continued, "Therefore, to ensure your safety, in the future, you will have to stay by my side at all times. I am currentlycking ackey like you anyway."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    So now he had turned into the exclusive property of this woman?

    That was truly...

    It was also this instant that the radiance around them faded. A smile appeared on Ming Yue¡¯s face. She could vividly feel an unfamiliar power coursing into her power.

    "Oh..."

    Chen Feng asked suddenly, "Lady Ming Yue, you are not human, right?"

    "Nope." Ming Yue arrogantly said, "I am a member of the Nether race. How is it possible for me to be a human?"

    "Oh." A knowing expression appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. Next, he said in a somewhat embarrassed manner, "If so, you wouldn¡¯t mind it much if your marriage link was not established with a human, right?"

    ??

    Ming Yue was confused. What did that mean?

    "Erm..." In an extremely embarrassed manner, Chen Feng started rubbing his chest. There, a tiny red snake crawled out. Around the snake¡¯s body was the aura of the marriage link that had yet to fade. At this moment, Ming Yue¡¯s proud expression froze.

    "You..." Ming Yue nked. So, she had... with a snake???

    Wait, this was clearly a spiritual world, a spiritual world exclusive to the ability Chen Feng had activated earlier. How was it possible for another life form to exist in here?

    "Erm..." Chen Feng studied the alluring Ming Yue in front of him attentively before looking at the tiny snake. "Actually, you don¡¯t have to worry too much. Thickness wise, it might be somewhatcking, but this snake here is still quite long in length. It should work if you are willing topromise."

    Ming Yue: "???"

 Chapter 302: End

    Chapter 302: End

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Chen Feng!"

    Ming Yue was so angry that her face paled.

    She had finally noticed that she had been tricked by this guy. It was also only now that she noticed that the ratio of power sharing between her and that tiny snake was 1:1. In other words, the bloodline of that snake...

    She stared at Chen Feng as her eyes gleamed coldly. "You dare to trick me?"

    Even Wang Chun would not dare do this to her. A mere Chen Feng...

    Ming Yue¡¯s killing intent surged. "You are courting death." However, just as she was about to make her move, she saw that tiny snake in Chen Feng¡¯s hand straighten up its body before staring at her viciously.

    Instantly, Ming Yue¡¯s heart chilled. She was currently linked with this snake. If she chose to attack Chen Feng, this snake would definitely get involved as well. If the snake was identally killed...

    Ming Yue was furious. "Chen Feng!" She was a self-proimed mastermind that always had everything under her control. Never had she imagined that she would be tricked by a mere C ss here!

    This was truly hateful.

    "Do you think you will be fine because of this?" Despite being tricked, Ming Yue was able to calm down speedily. She stared at Chen Feng and said, "You need to think properly. Without me, you will all die here. Regardless of that squad or the Nether Capital master, none of them are parties you all can deal with. Only by breaking free of Wang Chun can I recover my true strength and rescue you all from this ce."

    "I am aware of that," Chen Feng said calmly. With their current strength, they were simply not a threat to their current enemies.

    Ming Yue started trying to convince him. "How about this: we remove this link here... Next, you help me break free of Wang Chun, and I will be able to save all of you. How about that?"

    Chen Feng thought about it and rejected her proposal. "There¡¯s no need for that."

    "You..." Ming Yue was furious. "Do you really want to die here with them?"

    "Of course not." Chen Feng shook his head before whispering. "I¡¯m not particrly worried about them. What I¡¯m truly worried about is..."

    Ming Yue frowned. "What is it?"

    "It¡¯s not important for now." Chen Feng smiled, and an odd smile appeared on his face. "Don¡¯t worry. I will make sure you recover your strength."

    Ming Yue frowned harder.

    Despite Chen Feng¡¯s nice-sounding words, she had a feeling that something was off.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng recalled something. "Oh, yeah. Is this marriage link truly your ability? I have never seen you use it in theic. Is this something you learned aftering out here?"

    Ming Yue coldly stated, "That is because there were no males in The Crystal Pce. Are you satisfied if I put it this way? Due to that damnable pervert author, men were nonexistent in the wholeic. Even a street dog might transform into a pretty girl in the next moment."

    Toward that answer, Chen Feng looked at Xiao Ying with a delighted expression. "If so, then I suppose your requirements for your significant other shouldn¡¯t be too high."

    Ming Yue: "..."

    Suddenly, she felt like strangling Chen Feng to death.

    "Then... let us talk about the matter of restoring your strength." Chen Feng¡¯s indifferent voice echoed around the ce. After a long while, apanied by swirling light, the illusory world copsed as Chen Feng¡¯s expression turned back to normal in the real world. It might appear that he and Ming Yue had spent a lot of time in there, but in truth, only a short while had passed in the real world.

    "Are you fine?" everyone else asked anxiously. The aura Chen Feng had been emitting earlier was truly too terrifying.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "I¡¯m fine. Perhaps... it¡¯s time for us to go out."

    Chen Feng had a bright expression on his face. As they arrived outside, they found that the battle was still in progress. There was nothing they could do. After several attempts, the squad from the Mysterious Organization noticed that they were simply not the middle-aged man¡¯s opponent. As such, they had decided to use the most rational method of dealing with this: drag it out.

    In that shining ball, the impurities were still reducing without stop. Without first eliminating all the impurities, the middle-aged man would not receive any increase in his strength. Hence, his present strength was still decreasing without stop as his power was exhausted in the battle and from eliminating the impurities.

    The moment the impurities were all eliminated would also be the middle-aged man¡¯s weakest moment. That would be the most optimal instant to kill him. That would also be the easiest instant to kill him. Before that? Just drag it out.

    Exhausting the middle-aged man¡¯s strength while preserving their strength before erupting to kill the middle-aged man when the time came.

    Only a single chance would be avable to them.

    Pu!

    Pu!

    The injuries on the middle-aged man¡¯s body increased without stop. Blood sttered around without stop. The battle was reaching the crucial moment. They were all clear that the moment the impurities were all cleared would also be the moment for the final battle. If the squad was powerful enough, they would be able to kill the weakened middle-aged man. However, if they failed or were even a tiny bit slower, the middle-aged man would rapidly recover as he started absorbing the life force in that ball of light and started growing in strength.

    That single instant was the moment where he was at his weakest, the beginning of his journey to the peak of his strength.

    They absolutely had to grab on to that opportunity when it came!

    The squad was aiming for a single fatal attack, while the middle-aged man was aiming to defend himself.

    One second...

    Two seconds...

    Three seconds...

    ...

    Time passed quietly.

    The glow representing the impurities finally disappeared¡ªonly pure life force was left. The squad that had been waiting for this moment instantly erupted.

    "Kill!"

    Bang!

    A terrifying explosion of energy erupted out of them.

    Ayer of light that was as firm as a bastion appeared before the middle-aged man. "Defend!"

    The squad members merely snorted before unleashing all their power. "Hmph."

    A-ss captain!

    A-ss deputy captain!

    And 10 B-ss gic warriors!

    The intensity of their individual attacks was all the middle-aged man had expected. However, when they assumed a certain formation, a terrifying power appeared.

    This was a power far surpassing what a squad at their level should have possessed.

    The middle-aged man¡¯s expression changed greatly. "Formation?"

    Among the 10 B-ss warriors, one of them actually specialized in formations. The formation he had used was a pure support-type secret art, an extremely powerful 5-star secret art! This secret art was not able to deal any damage by itself, but after the formation was used on the other 12 squad members, theirbat power increased exponentially. This was a superpowerful team battle ability.

    "Did you truly believe the B-ss warriors in our squad are only here to make up the numbers?" the captain said in contempt. "Staying here for several centuries... you have long lost your qualification to be called a true warrior. Goodbye."

    Bang!

    The 12 of them joined hands. That terrifying radiance erupted and streaked forth, prating the middle-aged man¡¯s chest.

    Pu!

    The middle-aged man widened his eyes.

    "Death?"

    He lowered his head and looked at his prated chest.

    Hum¡ª

    A boundless power started dispersing.

    Before all their eyes, the whole Nether Capital, which hadsted through the ages, started copsing. The taverns, shops, and streets¡ªeverything was copsing.

    In the air, countless silhouettes of light appeared. These were all the residents of this city. On their faces were smiles, disying their satisfaction at finally being freed from this.

    Such an immortality was not something joyous. Rather, it was a curse!

    That feeling was especially intense during their moment of awakening.

    The silhouette of a little girl charged toward the middle-aged man. "Father."

    "Child..." The middle-aged man reached out with a dazed expression. However, before he could even touch her, he lost consciousness. Along with the Nether Capital¡¯s destruction, all the silhouettes hovering in the air vanished silently as well.

    Everything ended.

    Chapter 303: Bro, You Talk Too Much

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The Nether Capital was gone. The middle-aged man had built it all for his child. Ultimately, though, it had be a city of evil where all the city¡¯s residents and all the victims of his human sacrifice hated him.

    And now, all of this was gone with the Nether Capital¡¯s destruction.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The whole city copsed.

    Howl¡ª

    Distantly, that gigantic skeleton beast that was howling perished as well. Even those lively death lions and the other mutated beasts here with a certain amount of life force in them perished together with the Nether Capital.

    The Nether Capital and all the mutated beasts in its vicinity werepletely destroyed.

    Chen Feng inhaled a mouthful of cold breath. "Hiss¡ª"

    All dead? He had originally believed that the Nether Capital would only affect those skeleton creatures with no flesh. Unexpectedly, even the death lions with flesh were affected as well.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    All the mutated beasts near Nether Capital went extinct at this instant.

    From this point on, these beasts would no longer exist in this world.

    Chen Feng and Xu Fei exchanged nces and celebrated the fact that they had chosen to kill a death lion before this. If they had waited until after the middle-aged man was dead, Chen Feng wouldn¡¯t have been able toplete the initial mission he¡¯de for.

    Soon, the destruction of the Nether Capital wasplete. The initially flourishing streets had all been transformed into ruins. The only thing remaining was that squad from the Mysterious Organization.

    "This is somewhat different from what we had expected. Sigh."

    They were somewhat disappointed. Wouldn¡¯t it have been good if both the squad and the middle-aged man had perished together? Even if they were merely heavily injured, it would still be a good thing as well.

    Ultimately, though, the squad had suddenly erupted with some formation and instantly killed the weakened master of the Nether Capital, leaving behind the still-intact squad.

    Not a single one of them had perished. How should Chen Feng¡¯s group deal with this squad now?

    They felt somewhat unhappy. Although they were all self-proimed geniuses and were confident in their strength, the most they could achieve was to skip their ss and challenge those in B ss. As for those two A sses? Chen Feng¡¯s group were simply not their opponents.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Don¡¯t worry."

    Fight? Why was there a need for them to fight? They had to remember that, presently, their identity was as the direct subordinates of Senior Soul. They were all members of the Mysterious Organization. Immediately, they sunk into contemtion at Chen Feng¡¯s words.

    "Pity..." The squad from the Mysterious Organization looked at the Nether Capital that no longer existed and sighed. Their original mission had only been to obtain some materials to help with their research on necromancy. Unexpectedly, this master of the Nether Capital had been such a dishonest person. Truly hateful.

    "He only knew some iplete necromancy anyway, don¡¯t worry," Chen Feng said calmly.

    The captain nodded. "That¡¯s true." It was still a good thing for them to have been able to spoil that guy¡¯s n. Otherwise, their branch at Sealed City would have been destroyed for no apparent reason. That would have been truly infuriating, were it to have happened.

    "Since that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s time for us to return," Chen Feng said.

    The captain nodded. "Mhm, let¡¯s go together then."

    Since they were done here, it¡¯s time they return.

    Chen Feng smiled. "There¡¯s no need for that. You need to report back to the organization, while we have to report back to Senior Soul himself. Hence, I¡¯m afraid we have to part ways here."

    The captainughed. "That won¡¯t do. If you leave, what am I supposed to use for my report?"

    Chen Feng frowned. "What do you mean by that?"

    "Hehe. In fact, I am quite satisfied with how this mission has concluded. Although we have failed to obtain the art of necromancy, we have still saved Sealed City. Naturally, the most important harvest is an important person I have gotten my hands on." A smile appeared on the captain¡¯s face. "Am I right, Chen Feng?"

    Shua!

    The expressions of Xu Fei and the rest changed greatly. They had been discovered!

    Chen Feng had a serious expression. "I¡¯m afraid this senior here has mistaken my identity?"

    "That¡¯s not possible." With a smile, the captain continued, "Although you are currently in the uniform of our organization, despite the ability you have used to alter your appearance, there is one thing that you have neglected."

    "What is it?" Chen Feng asked calmly.

    Shua!

    A green crystal hovered out of the captain¡¯s hand. Its appearance greatly resembled the green diamond on Soul¡¯s forehead. The power it was emitting and its radiance were far weaker than the one on Soul¡¯s forehead, though.

    Chen Feng was rmed. "That is..."

    "This is something Senior Soul gave us. This is a mission issued by Senior Soul himself. This thing here can be used to save my life and to directly contact Senior Soul. Hehe, with this thing, you actually believed that you could sessfully lie to me?"

    The gazes of everyone else in the squad were filled with contempt as well.

    Lying? From the start, they had already been aware that Chen Feng was merely pretending to be one of them.

    The only reason they had not exposed him was because they had also been exploiting Chen Feng as much as Chen Feng was exploiting them. If they had battled that Nether Capital master with normal methods, with their strength, they would have needed to pay a huge price to obtain victory. It was even possible all of them would have perished here.

    But by working with Chen Feng...

    Hehe. He was indeed a person who had sessfully robbed the Spirit Sea wood from the Lei brothers.

    Xu Fei and the rest were dumbstruck. "This..."

    The heck? So their ruse had been seen through long ago? And by using such a method, on top of that?

    They had livid expressions on their faces. Their current feeling was truly quite ufortable. What happened to them was akin to a scene unfolding in the ancient times, where a person had forged a fake military pass to infiltrate into the group. Suddenly, someone else from ancient times pulled out a modern cellphone and made a phone call: "Brother, are these brothers here those under you?"

    This was simply illogical!

    Due to the power of the Nether Capital being too strong, they had no way of contacting the outside world. As such, they had instinctively neglected this matter. Unexpectedly, the enemy had still had a way of contacting the outside. What else could they say? This was the unfathomable Mysterious Organization indeed.

    The squad from the Mysterious Organization was looking at Chen Feng¡¯s group mockingly.

    However, surprising them, Chen Feng maintained the same calm on his face.

    The captain was amazed. "You saw thising?"

    "Naturally." Chen Feng smiled. "That is also the reason for us not doing anything all along. Initially, we had only nned to reap the benefits after you guys were done fighting. Unexpectedly," as Chen Feng said this, he felt somewhat helpless as well, "you viins truly had too much to say. Moreover, after talking to each other, you guys even decided to work together."

    The captainughed. He might be a person who was decisive when it came to killing, but he would made sure to talk more before making any moves. This was to ensure he would be able to gather more information and perhaps discover some less time-consuming methods of achieving his goal. If he was able to trick his enemy, he would expand less energy disposing of said enemy. This had always been his way of doing things.

    For example: dealing with the Chen Feng in front of him.

    See, just some simple words from him and he had managed to make Chen Feng start talking. With this, he would learn a lesson and know how to deal with future opponents that were simr to Chen Feng. Wasn¡¯t this a genius n? All this was what he had learned from experience after years of missions and killing.

    At times, words were beneficial.

    "Next..."

    "Actually, when we first arrived..."

    "Fortune telling..."

    "Nether Capital master..."

    "We are actually from the Gic Union..."

    Chen Feng started bbering on and on. Even his initial n and his subsequent tricks such as his disguise as a fortune teller and everything else were shared. Everyone in the Mysterious Organization¡¯s squad started exchanging nces. They had never expected that even the fortune teller was fake. As they thought of that, they all exchanged nces in rm and felt some lingering fear in their hearts. It was truly fortunate that...

    The captain nced at them and smiled.

    See how beneficial it is to talk more? This Chen Feng might be clever, but hasn¡¯t he been lured to say all his secrets now as well?

    But then, this Chen Feng fellow¡¯s narrative methods were somewhatcking. There was too much nonsense included when he talked. If it wasn¡¯t for the asional important information that Chen Feng would asionally leak while talking, the captain would have shut him down long ago.

    But now...

    "I¡¯m done talking." Chen Feng¡¯s lip felt dry. "Is this enough for you to report your mission as a sess? Can you give the Gic Union and Gene Production Association some face and let us off?"

    "Let you off?"

    Everyone in the squad smiled. Kids nowadays were so naive?

    The captain smiled. "Sorry."

    "Actually, I have something that I have always wanted to tell you," Chen Feng said suddenly.

    The captain was curious. "Oh?"

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "There are indeed some advantages to talking more. However, it has its disadvantages as well. A good example is our present encounter. The advantage is your sess in forcing us out of hiding. As for the disadvantages... did you ever consider the reason I kept on talking to you?"

    What?

    The captain¡¯s heart jolted.

    Shua!

    His eyes gleamed coldly.

    He stared straight at Chen Feng. Behind the mask of the mysterious organization on Chen Feng¡¯s face, that pair of eyes had at an unknown time be red in color. A blood-red color!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes had been maintaining this color since their earlier battle with the Nether Capital master. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have neglected the color change. What on earth was that?

    The captain started digging through his memory. Was this some eye art? Sharingan or something? How could a mere C ss like Chen Feng hope to deal any sort of damage to him?

    The captain¡¯s thoughts moved rapidly as he kept thinking without stop.

    However, without giving him any chances, Xu Fei and the rest made their move. Chen Feng was instantly enveloped in his Energy Equipment and a power far above C ss surged out of him.

    Around Chen Feng was a brand-new Energy Equipment. The current Chen Feng did not appear like a C ss at all. Rather, he felt like a B ss, regardless of the amount of energy or the power radiating from him.

    Suddenly, the captain stared straight at Chen Feng¡¯s eyes. "If it¡¯s B ss..."

    There, from that pair of blood-red eyes, a power that caused one¡¯s heart to palpitate gushed out.

    "Defend!" the captain shouted.

 Chapter 304: Nethergaze

    Chapter 304: Nethergaze

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Defend!" the captainmanded.

    He could clearly feel that the power about to be unleashed by Chen Feng would definitely be something heaven defying. Even an A ss like him felt fear from it. This was definitely not a power an ordinary person could muster.

    This Chen Feng...

    "Enter the formation!"

    Hum¡ª

    Once again, the familiar-looking formation appeared.

    This was an extremely powerful formation, something a B-ss warrior had put all his effort into to the point where he had nobat power or achievements in other aspects. The only role of this B-ss warrior was to link the 11 other warriors in their squad together using this formation in order to unleash their strongestbined might.

    Every single time they attacked, it would be equivalent to an attack with the fullbined power of all 11 of them. As such, they were undefeated. Even the master of Nether Capital had failed to defend against their attack.

    As for their defense, it was also equivalent to the fullbined defense of all 11 of them. As such, their defense was unbreakable as well.

    "Condense!"

    They all unleashed their respective defensive abilities.

    Shua!

    With the help of the formation, all their unleashed defensive abilities fused together. This was a special move unique to this squad.

    Just as their defense finishedbining, Chen Feng¡¯s attack reached them.

    This was the moment he had been waiting a long time for.

    Nethergaze, an ability capable of analyzing the rules of the opponent¡¯s energy and locking onto the opponent¡¯s weak point. The longer the opponent was locked onto, the higher the amplifier theunched attack would have. Depending on the gap in strength between the user and the opponent, the time taken for the analysis would differ.

    This ability was quite straightforward to use as well. First, within the Nethergaze¡¯s world, simte the ability the user was about to use.

    For example: Myriad Illusory Wind des used with an Energy Equipment activated.

    The Nethergaze would assign this attack a numerical value. Next, it would assign the opponent¡¯s present strength a numerical value as well. The longer Nethergaze was locked onto the opponent, the more gap between the user and the opponent would shorten.

    For example, in a situation where a numerical value of 10 was assigned to the user¡¯s attack and a numerical value of 200 was assigned to the opponent, Nethergaze would constantly exhaust the user¡¯s energy to increase the user¡¯s power. The assigned numerical value woulde increase without stop to 20, 30, 40... until it ultimately reached 200, when the lockdown would beplete.

    At this point, if the user were to unleash the same attack he had previously simted in the Nethergaze world, this unleashed attack would be amplified by the power of Nethergaze, a power sufficient to insta-kill the enemy.

    The whole operation of Nethergaze revolved around amplifying the attack of the user. With this amplification, the gap between the user and the opponent would be reduced. This was the basic method of using this Nethergaze ability.

    Without hesitation, Chen Feng had attempted it when he obtained the ability. However, the gap between him and this A-ss warrior had been toorge. As such, he had noticed that the time required for the lockdown to bepleted would be too long¡ªincredibly long.

    When it was used against someone simrly at C ss, only one second was required for the lockdown, as Chen Feng¡¯s present strength far exceeded C ss.

    As for B ss? It would be somewhat slow. However, it was still eptable, as it would take between several seconds to several tens of seconds toplete. Hence, it would be sufficient for Chen Feng to deal with any B-ss warriors, peak B-ss warriors included.

    As for A ss, they were in a totally different leaguepared to Chen Feng. When locking onto the Nether Capital¡¯s master, Chen Feng had noted that a week of lockdown would be required before the amplifier would be sufficient to kill him.

    That¡¯s right. One whole week of lockdown. Within this week, Chen Feng would have had to stop eating and drinking, focusing all his attention on locking onto the enemy. The Nether Capital¡¯s master could not leave Chen Feng¡¯s line of sight either. Only with all this would he have had a possibility of defeating the Nether Capital¡¯s master.

    Even all this was with the premise that Chen Feng had sufficient energy to keep this up. That was the moment Chen Feng had realized how terrifying the Nether Capital¡¯s master was. Even with that man¡¯sck ofbat experience, he was still a person possessing a terrifying foundation.

    As such, after careful consideration, Chen Feng had decided that the only person he could lock onto was the captain. He believed that since the Mysterious Organization had dared toe propose a trade despite knowing about this Nether Capital¡¯s master, they had definitely made sufficient preparations to battle him as well. He concluded that this squad would definitely possess some method of obtaining victory against the Nether Capital¡¯s master.

    And now he had been proved correct.

    After the squad had used their trump card, the Nether Capital¡¯s master, whockedbat experience, had been killed. He had been so decisively killed that he had not even had the chance to resist or use his trump card before perishing.

    With this, Chen Feng¡¯s lock had been established on the captain. During this period of locking on, Chen Feng had used numerous recovery gene reagents. His energy recovery rate had been boosted with numerous gene reagents as well. Nearly all of his prepared gene reagents for this mission had been used with only one goal: establishing a lock on the captain.

    Despite being in A ss as well, this captain¡¯s strength was still extremely far away from that of the Nether Capital¡¯s master. From the Nether Capital¡¯s master¡¯s act of crushing their whole team despite his weakened state, this was apparent.

    Hence, Chen Feng¡¯s lock on this captain was much easier.

    From the start of his locking on during the squad¡¯s battle with the Nether Capital¡¯s master to the end of their battle, the destruction of the Nether Capital, and Chen Feng bbering his mouth off telling them all sorts of secrets, one whole hour had passed.

    Chen Feng had even talked about the mysterious youngdy he¡¯d met when he had traveled back in time and the incident where he¡¯d met Soul during the time-travel incident. With all this information shooting out of his mouth, the squad hadn¡¯t been able to bear interrupting him.

    Naturally, Chen Feng had also included a lot of fabricated stories as well.

    In short, with 30% truth and 70% lies, Chen Feng had created an engaging story with all sorts of secrets to drag this out for one whole hour. Subsequently, his lock on had beenpleted.

    This was the debut of his Nethergaze. Unexpectedly, his first target was actually an A ss that was much more powerful than him.

    It¡¯s time to end this.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly.

    Xiu!

    His body streaked upward.

    His eyes glinted with a red glow as some sort of power condensed in his hand. With the intense radiance of his Energy Equipment, he shed toward the captain.

    Shua!

    Half the sky was covered in red by this sh.

    The attack that did not appear particrly powerful shed downward noiselessly. It was emitting the power of a B ss.

    Everyone in the squad could clearly see and feel that, although this attack of Chen Feng¡¯s appeared so eye catching, its power wasn¡¯t too great. Any one of them would be able to block it off. However, just as that attacknded on their defense, a terrifying power descended upon them.

    "This is..."

    Their expressions changed abruptly.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    At this moment, even the sky appeared to be copsing.

    A boundless power descended upon them, akin to a giant from the skies stepping upon them.

    Pu!

    Everyone in the squad started spurting blood crazily.

    "How is this possible..."

    They could not believe that a casual wave of Chen Feng¡¯s hand could bring about such power.

    Ka!

    Ka!

    The defense forged by all 12 of them was breaking apart. They were actually facing a power capable of insta-killing their captain, a power capable of insta-killing an A-ss! Since Chen Feng¡¯s lock had been sessfullypleted, his attack definitely carried a power capable of insta-killing this captain. As of now, everyone in the squad was taking on this attack together with their captain.

    Their formation was indeed powerful, with shared energy and defense, but the disadvantage of this formation was the fact that any injuries taken were shared as well.

    If their defense wasn¡¯t broken, things would be easier to handle, but now that Chen Feng¡¯s attack had easily gone through their defenses, this single disadvantage of the formation instead became an incredibly terrifying weakness. Initially, this had only been an attack capable of insta-killing the captain alone. Now, though...

    Pu!

    Pu!

    With a sh of light, they all spurted blood and copsed onto the ground, dead.

    Dead!

    Dead!

    With a single move from Chen Feng, apart from the captain and deputy captain, everyone else was instantly killed, and even these two survivors were suffering injuries.

 Chapter 305: Descend

    Chapter 305: Descend

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "You..."

    They stared at Chen Feng with unbelieving expressions.

    A single move! Only a single move and almost all of them had been killed! How was this possible? This was something even the Nether Capital¡¯s master hadn¡¯t been able to aplish.

    The captain¡¯s cold gaze was fixed on Chen Feng. For the first time in his life, he felt fear when facing a C ss. "Who on earth are you?"

    Chen Feng smiled. "Idiot."

    One whole hour of locking on and all the energy required to unleash the attack capable of insta-killing an A ss had depleted nearly all his energy, even with all the energy-recovery reagents he had used. As of now, he no longer had any power left in him. However, did that still matter?

    Out of the whole squad, only these two seriously injured people were left. On top of that, the deputy captain was already depleted of all his strength as well, due to the Space Diminishing sh he had used earlier. This time, he wasn¡¯t able to unleash much power at all. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t have been possible for Chen Feng to kill all his squad members.

    Hence... the only opponent left was that seriously injured captain. As for dialogue, it was truly unfortunate that Chen Feng was not a person who had a tendency to talk much. He had always believed that if it was possible to deal with the enemy there was no point in wasting time talking. Although he was simrly unable to make any more moves, he still had his team members with him!

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    Xu Fei and the rest charged forth.

    Fight, fight, fight! Xu Fei and the rest that had been holding their anger in all this while finally got the chance to rage.

    The captain was incredibly powerful. Even with his injuries, he was still not someone they could contend against alone. However, they had the numerical advantage. In a battle between a seriously injured A ss and a bunch of warriors withbat power equivalent to B-ss warriors, the result was unpredictable.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The battle erupted.

    One minute...

    Two minutes...

    Three minutes...

    Chen Feng merely watched on by the side.

    Chen Feng calcted inwardly. It¡¯s about time, right?

    Right at this moment, Xu Fei and the rest managed to surround the captain. Shen Yi, Xu Fei, Wang Chun, and the rest joint hands to restrict the captain¡¯s movement within a certain radius. Next, a superpowerful attack wasunched by Shen Wei.

    "Die!"

    A dense me appeared midair andnded on the captain¡¯s body. However, at this instant.

    Shua!

    A familiar looking radiance descended, and all the attacks melted.

    In the air, a silhouette noiselessly appeared in a carefree manner, akin to someone taking a stroll. That silhouette started solidifying in midair as it walked forward one step at a time before revealing himself in front of all of them.

    The expressions of Xu Fei and the rest changed greatly from the shock. The neer was Soul himself!

    The captain and deputy captain were overjoyed. "Greetings, Senior Soul."

    Soul! Senior Soul has actuallye personally!

    Hahahaha! We are saved!

    They rushed beside Soul with an overjoyed feeling.

    Soul did not pay them any attention. Rather, enveloped by the green radiance, his gaze was fixed on Chen Feng. A bizarre glow could be seen in his eyes. "It has been a while, Chen Feng."

    Chen Feng...

    Everyone¡¯s heart tightened. This guy here knew Chen Feng?

    Chen Feng merely nced at him indifferently. "Is this still a clone?" Based on what he knew, Lu Hun was presently unable to leave whereever he was. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have sent a clone for the previous matter that was so important to him.

    "A clone is sufficient to kill you," Lu Hun said calmly.

    Even if this was a clone, it still possessed the power of an A ss!

    Hum¡ª

    A red glow flickered into existence in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    Nethergaze, activate!

    Lu Hun smiled softly. "Ah."

    "Break!"

    He waved casually, and instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s Nethergaze copsed.

    "This thing is useless against me." Lu Hun had a calm expression. "You might be able to hide this from them, but using such a thing in front of me is as conspicuous as lighting up amp amidst darkness."

    Chen Feng: ...

    It failed? Indeed... the gap between him and Soul was too huge.

    On top of that, even if this was a mere clone, during that short moment where his Nethergaze was activated, the estimated numerical number made it clear to him how terrifying the strength of this Lu Hun was.

    Even if one whole day was used, the lock might not bepleted. This guy was too strong!

    "Goodbye, then," Lu Hun said coldly.

    Evidently, he was not as keen to converse as the captain had been. After a short chatter, he was already preparing to kill, not giving Chen Feng any chance to escape.

    However...

    Chen Feng sighed. "You shouldn¡¯t havee."

    Lu Hun paused. "Why?"

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "Because I¡¯m afraid you will lose another one of your clones again."

    What?

    Lu Hun was astonished.

    It was at this instant that a bizarre radiance appeared suddenly, shining through every nook of the Nether Capital¡¯s ruins. A terrifying aura erupted suddenly. The sources of that aura were actually Chen Feng¡¯s body and that ball of light that was not far away from them.

    "There," the captain cried out in rm.

    Everyone turned around and noticed that, with the death of the Nether Capital¡¯s master, only a single color remained in that impurity-filled ball of light. Only the purest of life force was left in that ball.

    However, despite them knowing that, they couldn¡¯t do anything to it. This was a power an ordinary person was not able to absorb. Only death would be the result if a regr person attempted to touch it. Only someone with the aura of the Nether World was entitled to touch this power. As such, they had all left the ball alone so the power in it could dissipate naturally.

    Surprisingly, they could clearly see the life force within that ball reducing in volume. Behind that ball was a faintly discernible silhouette that was slim yet curvy.

    The captain was startled. "It¡¯s her!" It was the sexydy from beside Chen Feng!

    Bang!

    The world was covered in light. The initially sunny and cloudless Nether Capital was at this moment enveloped by a red and purple radiance.

    All the life force was instantly absorbed by Ming Yue. Her originally calm face turned blood red as the aura around her started bing increasingly dreadful.

    Hum¡ª

    In her hands, a blood-red sickle appeared. This was the weapon she had used in The Crystal Pce.

    Shua!

    With a sh of her blood-red sickle, the whole world was seemingly cut in half. The target of her attack was the two survivors of the squad from the Mysterious Organization.

    Ka!

    With a loud sound, a mirror-like protective barrier made of green radiance blocked in front of them. As the blood-red shnded on it, it shattered into countless pieces.

    Only at this did Ming Yue¡¯s gazended on Soul.

    "Your family¡¯s chick is so powerful?" Xu Fei eximed in admiration.

    Wang Chun smiled bitterly. "I already lost my control over her."

    Chen Feng had already told him what had happened earlier. Wang Chun had never expected that his summoning ability had been weakened to such an extent when used on Ming Yue. This chick had been messing around behind him! Even if the target of her messing around was Chen Feng... Wang Chun had a feeling that his head was currently enveloped in green 1 .

    The Shen Wei siblings had an ominous feeling. "If at this moment, a wicked intent started appearing in her heart..."

    Wang Chun smiled bitterly. "It won¡¯t happen. With Chen Feng here, there won¡¯t be any problems."

    "Chen Feng?"

    The rest were bbergasted. How did this rte to Chen Feng? They shifted their gaze to Chen Feng and realized that, as of now, Chen Feng was actually emitting the same aura as Ming Yue. That was the aura of life force absorbed from the ball of light.

    How...

    Everyone widened their eyes.

    If it was Ming Yue, fine. She was a person of the Nether World anyway, but Chen Feng??? He was obviously a normal human being with no simr abilities. How was this happening to him?

    "Do you have any idea what¡¯s happening?" Xu Fei whispered to Wang Chun.

    Wang Chun had a bitter expression. "I..."

    How was he supposed to exin this? He was truly feeling helpless.

 Chapter 306: Destroy!

    Chapter 306: Destroy!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In the Nether Capital, among the ruins, two terrifying radiances were radiating midair. These two were Lu Hun and Ming Yue. Among the radiance, their bodies were almost indiscernible to the people below them.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The air trembled as rays of light shed around.

    Green shes...

    Green shes...

    Both kept appearing midair.

    Ming Yue had already been an extremely powerful person previously. She had only been restricted due to Wang Chun¡¯s strength. Now that she had absorbed all that life force, she had recovered arge portion of her strength. However, it was still rather difficult for her to insta-kill Lu Hun. In their battle, a difficult bnce was maintained, neither of them capable of hurting the other.

    Lockdown...

    Shua!

    A ray of green radiance shed past and interrupted Chen Feng¡¯s Nethergaze.

    With that, Chen Feng could only give up helplessly.

    He had initially nned to use his Nethergaze while both of them were busy fighting each other. However, he was truly helpless, since a random ray of light from Lu Hun was already sufficient to stop his move.

    The gap between their strength was truly too big.

    Since sneak attacks wouldn¡¯t work...

    Chen Feng stared at the two that were midbattle and decided that the only thing he could do was charge forth.

    With his present strength, he was obviously unqualified to participate in this battle. However, Xiao Ying, who had also absorbed a huge amount of life force, was qualified to participate.

    Chen Feng pointed midair. "Go!"

    Shua!

    Transforming into a red sh, Xiao Ying streaked forth, its target being Lu Hun.

    Granted, the only improvement Xiao Ying had had was in its strength. Experience-wise, it was still not too used to using such power. However, if it only needed to streak back and forth to attack, it was still sufficient to nt fear in Lu Hun¡¯s heart. However, rming everyone there, even when Ming Yue and Xiao Ying joined hands, they were still incapable of doing anything to Lu Hun.

    Lu Hun¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Is this your trump card?"

    Bang!

    With a terrifying eruption of power, both Xiao Ying and Ming Yue were shaken away by Lu Hun.

    "The amount of power absorbed by both of you is indeed above the power of my clone. However, regardless of how formidable that power is, the actual person wielding the power is still crucial! This youngdy here is still fine. As for that red string...hehe." Lu Hun merely smiled coldly.

    A superformidable power would certainly be able to unleash an earth-shattering effect when wielded by a sufficiently powerful expert. However, when it was used by a simple-minded brute, the only effect would be pure strength, nothing else.

    Now, the same thing applied.

    Despite Xiao Ying¡¯s prowess, it had still not reached such a level. The only thing it could do was streak back and forth with the increased power it had obtained. It was simply incapable of truly unleashing the type of effect a person holding such power should be able to unleash.

    As such, Lu Hun was totally unafraid of it. "Trash."

    Ming Yue was so angry, she was gnashing her teeth. If all the power had been handed solely to her...

    "Chen Feng!" She looked toward Chen Feng. "Remove the contract and hand over all the power to me. Only with that is there hope for victory."

    Chen Feng rejected her without a second thought. "That¡¯s not possible."

    What joke was that?

    If all the power was handed over to Ming Yue, without the contract restricting her, after Lu Hun was dealt with, they would most probably have to face her next.

    A boss viin from aic? This was too unreliable.

    Chen Feng would absolutely not ce his life in the hands of such a person.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Lu Hun started attacking crazily.

    Ming Yue was anxious. "If you insist, we will all die."

    Chen Feng maintained his silence. He shifted his gaze to Wang Chun. "Can you control her? If you can control her or at least guarantee that she won¡¯t hurt us, I don¡¯t mind handing over all the power to her."

    "Er." Wang Chun looked at the Shen Wei siblings before looking at himself and replying with a bitter smile, "Not possible."

    If they were to make the wrong decision here, everyone would be in grave danger, especially the Shen Wei siblings.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Hence, I can¡¯t hand the power over to her."

    However, Ming Yue and Xiao Ying were currently being pushed back without stop by Lu Hun¡¯s attacks. If he couldn¡¯t think of anything, they might truly perish here. Since he couldn¡¯t hand over all the power to Ming Yue, only one option was left.

    Chen Feng¡¯s urged with his heart, Combine!

    When Xiao Ying resided within his body, he had ess to Xiao Ying¡¯s power.

    In that case, what if Xiao Ying were to reside within Ming Yue¡¯s body?

    Xiao Ying was capable of moving freely between the illusory and real worlds. The reason it could reside within his body was because Xiao Ying¡¯s power had already blended with Chen Feng¡¯s body. As for Ming Yue, due to the marriage link and the same life force they had both absorbed, they currently possessed aura from the same source. Perhaps...

    Shua!

    In the air, the Xiao Ying that had previously been charging toward Lu Hun changed its direction and streaked toward Ming Yue.

    Ming Yue¡¯s expression changed slightly. "What are you doing?"

    "Fuse!" Chen Feng calmly said, "Don¡¯t resist¡ªallow it to enter your body. Since both of you have aura from the same source, only by doing this can you utilize the portion of power Xiao Ying absorbed."

    Xiu!

    With a sh of red, Xiao Ying turned into a perfectly straight red sh and inserted straight into Ming Yue¡¯s body.

    Wang Chun: "..."

    An expression of pain appeared on Ming Yue¡¯s face. "Ah."

    Chen Feng was rmed. "What¡¯s up?" Had the fusion failed?

    "Nothing..." Ming Yue stabilized her emotions before saying with gnashed teeth, "Would you not feel ufortable if your body was suddenly stuffed full?"

    When she had absorbed the life force previously, the power had been gradually led into her body. This time, though, all the power had been forcefully stuffed into her body, almost bursting her from the oversupply of power.

    Fortunately, she was powerful enough to fuse the newly inserted power with her own power. She was quite clear that this was actually the power of that damnable snake, though.

    Bang!

    Instantly, all the power was fused together.

    This was the life force that had been collected by the Nether Capital¡¯s master after he had exhausted a great amount of energy, a volume of life force even higher than the life force he would have obtained if he had actually ughtered the whole Sealed City.

    This was the pure life force remaining after all the impurities had been cleared thanks to Chen Feng. This was a truly formidable power. Initially, with only half the portion, Ming Yue had found it hard to deal with Lu Hun. Now, with all the power, she was able to unleash an astonishing amount of power.

    Rays of light swirled around Ming Yue¡¯s hand. "This power..." She raised her hand and pointed at Lu Hun. "You..."

    Bang!

    With a bright explosion, Lu Hun was sted away.

    Ming Yue¡¯s mouth curled up, forming a smile. "A part of my power has been restored..." This was how powerful she had been. She, Ming Yue, the dominator of The Crystal Pce, when had she ever been suppressed and humiliated in such a manner?

    The radiance surrounding Ming Yue intensified. "Come!"

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Explosions erupted midair without stop.

    Everyone witnessing this was so astonished that their mouths were left hanging.

    Afterbining, the Ming Yue and Xiao Ying that had initially been at a disadvantage were now beating Lu Hun up. Even if this was merely a clone, this was still a clone with peak A-ss strength they were beating up!

    This strength...

    Pu!

    In a short while, Lu Hun was already seriously injured.

    "Chen Feng!" Lu Hun howled.

    The few times he had tried to kill Chen Feng had all been stopped by Ming Yue.

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "Depart in peace."

    Lu Hun¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Just you wait! When my true body is finally able to leave..."

    Pu!

    Ming Yue¡¯s kicknded on his mouth.

    Lu Hun stared at Ming Yue. "You too... I will let you know how powerful the real me is! You bugs will one day pay for this..."

    Pu!

    The final attackunched by Ming Yue pierced through Lu Hun.

    "Idiot. Do you think that you are the only person whose strength is restricted?" Ming Yue waved her hand in a carefree manner and sneered. "Even now, only 10% of my strength has been restored."

    Pu!

    With a sh of green, Lu Hun¡¯s clone transformed into countless sparkling and translucent green particles that floated around in the air.

    Ming Yue¡¯s eyes shone. "Where are you running?"

    Shua!

    With a wave of her hand, all the energy floating in the air was absorbed by her.

    Lu Hun¡¯s clone was thus killed.

    "Done." After absorbing those energy particles, Ming Yue felt satisfied. However, she was also quite clear that, moving on, half of every single bit of power she obtained would be shared with Chen Feng. To be more urate, half of the power needed to be shared with that damnable tiny snake!

    Bastard!

    The mere thought of this infuriated her to no end.

    "Chen Feng¡ª" Just as she was prepared to haggle with Chen Feng, an odd feeling rose within her. Instantly, she discovered that her power was disappearing at a rapid pace...

    As she studied herself attentively, she noted that the tiny snake hidden within her had awoken and was currently absorbing her power.

    The initially limp red line was once again perfectly straight, moving back and forth inside her...

 Chapter 307: Over

    Chapter 307: Over

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    High above the sky, a ray of green radiance remained amid the clouds for a long time. An imposing silhouette could be seen seated cross legged there. On his forehead was an odd stone radiating green and emitting a pressure sufficient to nt fear in any onlookers.

    Suddenly, his shut eyes opened and gleamed with a boundless killing intent.

    His cold shout resounded through the clouds, "Chen Feng!"

    Once again!

    Once again!

    A person with his status had once again been tricked by an insignificant clown! That damnable guy always had those never-before-seen experts around him!

    There was also that woman...

    Lu Hun¡¯s gaze was ice cold.

    He had never seen that woman before. Was she another expert of the Gic Union?

    He had tried killing Chen Feng several times now, yet none of his attempts had seeded. The first time had been due to him being too young back then, but in the subsequent two attempts, not only had he failed, even his clones had been lost. His wife had left him as well...

    Lu Hun¡¯s expression was unsightly.

    His current situation could truly be described as one who had given away one¡¯s bride and lost one¡¯s army on top of it.

    Even for a person with his strength, it was still a difficult feat to form a clone with 10% of his strength. Moreover, that wife of his no longer recognized him now. All this was thanks to Chen Feng! That damnable kid!

    Lu Hun¡¯s eyes flickered. "Chen Feng..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s actual strength was incredibly weak, so weak that he could be killed with a single finger.

    However, there was always someone protecting Chen Feng. As such, if Lu Hun wanted to kill Chen Feng, a stronger killer had to be sent. However, this was something almost impossible to do. How to find someone that was even stronger than his clone?

    If so, he could only rece quality with quantity. He wasn¡¯t particrly well versed in regard to this. Fortunately, someone else was.

    Shua!

    A green radiance shed out of Lu Hun¡¯s eyes and streaked through the clouds beforending on a yellow ray of light.

    A calm voice drifted over. "Soul. What do you need?"

    "I need a person killed," Lu Hun replied with a calm expression.

    "Who?" the other person asked.

    "Chen Feng," Lu Hun said calmly.

    However, the other person sunk into silence. "...Why?"

    Lu Hun sneered. "My dearest junior apprentice brother, with this huge Mysterious Organization of yours, you can¡¯t even deal with a single Chen Feng?"

    The person he was conversing with was actually his junior apprentice brother, the leader of the Mysterious Organization.

    "It¡¯s difficult," the leader answered honestly.

    On his forehead was also an odd, shiny stone. A faint sense of majestess and a mysterious power were being emitted from the stone as it flickered with a ck radiance that caused one¡¯s heart to palpitate.

    "The present Chen Feng is rather odd. My Mysterious Organization has been investigating him for a while now. However, killing him is simply too difficult a feat. He seems to be a person with an extremely high vignce. There have been a lot of times where he was able to disappear before our assassins could even approach him. As of now, even approaching him in itself is a difficult feat. The only asion where we managed to approach him was an idental encounter during a mission. And even then..." the leader paused before continuing, "our man still ultimately ended up being tricked and killed by him."

    Chen Feng. In the Mysterious Organization, this name represented a person who was extremely tricky to deal with.

    This did not only apply to him. Even his woman, that youngdy called Wang Yao, was also an excessively dreadful existence. Those sent to assassinate her never returned alive.

    He had also tried assassinating them himself, but the result? He hadn¡¯t even been able to locate them.

    These two... were extremely problematic!

    Lu Hun stood up. "If you can¡¯t do it, I will do it myself."

    Bang!

    Lightning started descending. As he stood, the whole sky seemed to darkened, appearing as if it was going to copse.

    "Senior apprentice brother!" The leader could only smile bitterly. "Fine, I will do it."

    "Hmph." Lu Hun snorted before sitting down again.

    Hum¡ª

    The sky recovered its tranquility.

    As for the leader, he could only shake his head helplessly.

    This senior apprentice brother of his was good in all aspects. The only bad point was him being too hotheaded. However, he had initially believed that his senior apprentice brother merely disliked Chen Feng at most. He had never imagined that his senior apprentice brother had such a level of hatred toward Chen Feng.

    A person of his status had actually developed such a hatred toward a nobody like that?

    How was that Chen Feng qualified for this?

    "I understand," he muttered. If he was going to do this, he would have to do it properly.

    "After ten days, I will definitely kill him," he said in a solemn tone.

    Lu Hun shut his eyes apathetically. "I will be waiting for your good news."

    Bang!

    Here, high above the sky, lightning seemed to snake around. The yellow radiance belonging to the Mysterious Organization¡¯s leader faded noiselessly.

    Currently, in the Nether Capital, as Lu Hun¡¯s clone died, everything came to an end.

    Before their eyes was the huge destroyed Nether Capital. The Nether Capital¡¯s master and his eternal kingdom was no more, leaving nothing behind.

    With a casual wave from Ming Yue, all the deceased souls lingering around transformed into silhouettes of light and hovered midair. Vaguely, expressions of gratitude could be seen on their faces. Throughout thest several centuries, they hadn¡¯t been truly alive or dead. That was the greatest suffering they had experienced. As far as they were concerned, instead of a blessing, this had been a curse!

    Wang Chun sighed deeply. "It¡¯s over..."

    They had initiallye here to simply hunt for some death lions for Chen Feng. Unexpectedly, they had actually been drawn into such a cmity. It was a miracle-like feat for them to have survived this.

    "We experienced so much. On top of that, we also killed two A-ss warriors. Hehe..." Different from Wang Chun, Xu Fei was incredibly excited. "I suppose this will be considered a major contribution again. Even without any official mission from the union and the association, we might still be rewarded for this."

    Chen Feng nodded. "That is only natural."

    Regardless of the information regarding the Mysterious Organization, the destruction of Nether Capital, or...

    Chen Feng stared ahead.

    Along with the Nether Capital¡¯s destruction, the ce where the Nether Capital¡¯s master had resided had appeared noiselessly. After searching the ce, they found the information rted to the so-called necromancy.

    This was iparably valuable information.

    Xu Fei was excited. "With this, we have definitely made a major contribution."

    However, when he turned around, he found that Wang Chun and Chen Feng had incredibly solemn expressions on their faces.

    Xu Fei was bbergasted. "What¡¯s up?"

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "This is not as simple as a contribution. This also represents a major cmity. A normal A-ss gic warrior that identally obtained this information created such a Nether Capital. Try to imagine this: if this was announced and this informationnded in the hands of someone with their own schemes, this world..."

    "Hiss¡ª" Xu Fei inhaled a mouthful of cold breath. "It won¡¯t happen, right?" He gulped before continuing, "We will only be handing this over to the upper management of the union anyway."

    "It¡¯s still better to be safe," Chen Feng replied solemnly.

    They exchanged nces and felt that the weight of the information they had in their hands was iparably heavy.

    Wang Chun was somewhat perplexed as well. "What should we do?"

    "Just destroy it," Chen Feng replied after thinking about it. "We must absolutely not hand an item capable of such destruction to anyone else, even if they are those from the union. Regardless of their strength, when facing something that offers immortality..." Chen Feng shook his head. "A human¡¯s nature is hard to fathom."

    Xu Fei and Wang Chun exchanged nces and agreed with that.

    Bang!

    A clump of fire descended.

    Next, Shen Wei retracted her hand. That invaluable set of information that the Mysterious Organization had tried their all to obtain was thus destroyed.

    "Let¡¯s leave."

    They stood up and prepared to leave.

    This time, behind Chen Feng was a woman taking small steps that was following him tightly.

    Her mouth nagged without stop as she lingered around Chen Feng. There was also several times where she intentionally rubbed her body against Chen Feng¡¯s body, trying to seduce him without stop.

    During the whole trip back, Chen Feng had a helpless feeling. As for Wang Chun, he had a darkened expression on his face.

    Evidently, that woman was Ming Yue. In order to obtain what she wanted, she was willing to pay all prices. She had offered all sorts of conditions, such as purchasing, trading, being Chen Feng¡¯s bodyguard for a year, giving her body to Chen Feng, and all sorts of other offers. The only thing she wanted was the power locked within Xiao Ying¡¯s body.

    The marriage link and that huge amount of life force Xiao Ying currently held.

    "I¡¯m serious. All this power will only truly show its worth in my hands. Didn¡¯t you see it earlier? That is power of the highest quality, life force!" Ming Yue continued with grief, "It¡¯s such a waste to leave it in the hands of that damnable tiny snake! It has no idea how to use it at all! This is pure wastage! If we have ess to such power, why waste it? With such valuable power, the only thing that snake knows how to do is to charge around knocking into people. It might be a life form as well, but its intelligence is too low!"

    Ming Yue was unsatisfied.

    Chen Feng did not seem to mind. "I think it¡¯s quite good this way." No matter what, he would definitely not grant Ming Yue her freedom. This woman was too dangerous!

    "Hmph!"

    Seeing that she couldn¡¯t convince or kill Chen Feng, Ming Yue left, panting with rage, and returned to theic. Since she was restricted out here, she was better off back in her own world. As for Chen Feng...

    "Hmph. I wille back when all of you die," Ming Yue said without a trace of politeness. Although the marriage link was powerful, it wouldn¡¯t work if both she and Xiao Ying were in two separate worlds. She decided to only return after Chen Feng and that damnable snake were dead.

    Shua!

    Her silhouette vanished. As for Wang Chun, he only watched on with a dumbfounded expression.

    He couldn¡¯t control Ming Yue¡¯s act ofing out into this world. Even when returning, she wasn¡¯t bothered with telling him about it either. As of now, he was nothing more than Ming Yue¡¯s personal door to travel between both worlds. On top of that, he was akin to an automatic door.

    Chen Feng patted his shoulder. "Don¡¯t worry about it. Such an expert is fated to be a person nobody can control."

    Wang Chun smiled bitterly. "I know."

    This was the first time he had realized that even his very own summon might not have any sort of rtionship with him. It seemed like his ability wasn¡¯t omnipotent after all.

    Shen Wei sneered. "Hmph. I will teach her a lesson when I return."

    Only at these words did Wang Chun¡¯s heart feel somewhat better. At least... at least the siblings Shen Yi and Shen Wei were at his side. Within the world of The Crystal Pce, he was considered part of the Shen family¡¯s faction, after all. As for theher race? He would simply stop summoning anyone from that side in the future.

    Soon, they left the Nether Capital and parted ways.

    Wang Chun and Xu Fei returned to the Gic Union to make their report, while Chen Feng returned to Star City. After making his report to the association, the whole association was shaken. It was said that even some old seniors that had been in seclusion all this while were shaken out of their seclusion as well.

    Both the information regarding Nether Capital and the Mysterious Organization were iparably major.

    Some doubted him. "You are saying the art of necromancy exists at the Nether Capital? Those people were in a limbo of reincarnation for centuries? Such an ability existed in this world? Is this for real?"

    As a response, Chen Feng merely released the recordings he¡¯d taken.

    "The heck, it was actually real."

    "Forbidden art of reincarnation..."

    "This thing is too dreadful!"

    "Even if it was merely an iplete ability, the meaning attached to it is extremely huge."

    Everyone started discussing without stop.

    Some said that this was a good thing, while some said that this was something bad.

    Naturally, in Chen Feng¡¯s report, after the Nether Capital¡¯s master had been killed, the whole Nether Capital had copsed. All avable information had disappeared, and he had not obtained any information regarding the art of necromancy.

    As such, everyone else could only guess at the way this ability worked.

    Apart from this, there was also that matter regarding the Mysterious Organization. This was the first time the real strength of the Mysterious Organization had been announced. The veil had finally been uncovered from this iparably mysterious organization.

    Peak A ss! A certain number of A-ss and B-ss warriors...

    That terrifying number of experts nted fear in everyone¡¯s heart.

    However, shocking everyone was the fact that, out of the original 70-plus A-ss warriors in that organization, over 20 of them had already been lost. That was also a terrifying number.

    One had to know that every single A-ss warrior in existence out there was the type of person who dominated an entire territory by himself.

    Death? Any single death of one of these people would be a major event. As for the Mysterious Organization, they actually had such a huge amount of such experts perishing. They had even lost two of their peak A-ss experts! This terrifying number of losses was truly shocking.

    "Mysterious Organization..." Hou Liang muttered as he stared at the data in his hands.

    What was the scariest thing in the world? The unknown!

    Only the unknown was the scariest thing. The moment the veil upon the Mysterious Organization was uncovered, the moment the outside world had some sort of understanding of them, this organization no longer appeared so terrifying, regardless of the high amount of experts they had in their ranks.

    This information alone was a huge contribution by Chen Feng.

    This major contribution hadn¡¯t even taken into consideration a third point, the destruction of the Nether Capital. Moving on, the area humans could explore in this world had once again erged and now included the former Nether Capital!

    Only ruins were left of that area for now. However, at the very least, to the satellite, that area was no longer enveloped by darkness. That ce that had initially been unknown had now opened up to humanity thanks to Chen Feng. Since it was no longer something unknown, other humans would now be able to set forth on exploration missions there in the future. This was a huge contribution.

    Once again, Chen Feng¡¯s prestige at Star City increased.

    Hou Liang smiled bitterly. "You..."

    It seemed like every single time Chen Feng left, he wouldn¡¯te back without first doing something major. He simply couldn¡¯t sit still!

    Just look at the updated data. It was said that the Mysterious Organization had 56 surviving A-ss warriors, but after this incident, wasn¡¯t the amount once again reduced to only 54 remaining? Oh, wrong, 50 would be the correct amount.

    Hou Liang took out a different set of data and passed it to Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng was astonished as heid eyes on the data. "What?"

    At a certain location where a certain major project of the Mysterious Organization was progressing, a youngdy had appeared at the crucial point of the project. Next, the whole project had been destroyed and four A-ss warriors had been killed.

    Although only a rear view of this youngdy was avable in their data, Chen Feng knew who she was. Wang Yao! It was indeed her!

    A faint smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    Wang Yao had once again increased her strength.

    "See," Hou Liang said grudgingly. "I suppose the Gic Union doesn¡¯t even need to do anything. Just the two of you, this couple, will be sufficient to destroy the entire Mysterious Organization."

    "How is that possible?" Chen Feng said awkwardly.

    "I suggest you maintain a low profile for a period of time." Hou Liang paused before continuing, "You just dealt such a major blow to the Mysterious Organization and killed two of their A-ss warriors. I don¡¯t think they will let you off easily. This is different from the past. Previously, you didn¡¯t y significant roles in the damage dealt to them. As such, they didn¡¯t put any emphasis on you either, since in the end, you were merely someone dragged into the incident, but this time... you will be their target! Based on their style of operation so far, my advice is for the few of you to stay put and not leave for a period of time."

    "All right," Chen Feng agreed.

    Not only him, during the past few days, Wang Chun, Xu Fei... those who had participated in their trip all had their movements restricted and were kept in either the Gene Production Association or the Gic Union. If they were to leave at a time like this, it would be no different than seeking death.

    This was a good opportunity for Chen Feng to rest himself and stabilize his newly gained spiritual energy after his recent breakthrough.

    As he had only recently fused with this new ability, there were a lot of things he needed to deal with. On top of that, he had a lot of sses to learn about new gene reagents that he could not produce either. With his current identity and contribution, almost all avable forms were made avable to him. How would Chen Feng not grab such a good opportunity?

    One star, 2 stars, 3 stars...

    E ss, D ss, C ss...

    He started speed-reading all the forms, etching the information into his brain.

    His progress was quite apparent as well. However, just as Chen Feng was thirstily devouring knowledge, an astonishing piece of news was received: The Mysterious Organization had activated the Mysterious Killing Command!

    Everyone was shaken at this.

    Hou Liang widened his eyes. "Mysterious Killing Command?"

    They did not know much about the Mysterious Organization. However, they were still clear on what this Mysterious Killing Command was. This was the highest-tier killing order of the Mysterious Organization.

    The moment thismand was issued, it signified that the Mysterious Organization would be willing to pay any cost to kill their chosen target. It was extremely terrifying. Back when they first found out about this, the Gic Union hadn¡¯t been bothered by this at all. Only when an A-ss warrior under heavy protection within the Gic Union had been killed by this order had they understood what this Mysterious Killing Command signified. Only at that had they understood what "pay any cost" signified.

    In order to kill that single A-ss warrior, 10 A-ss warriors of the Mysterious Organization had perished. This did not seem worth it. However... they had ultimately seeded in killing their chosen target.

    From that moment, the Mysterious Killing Command had be a legend.

    This time...

    They stared at that familiarmand token. On it was a single name: Chen Feng!

    Mysterious Killing Command?

    Chen Feng stared at the electronicmand token that had appeared on his screen.

    "They actually idiotically announced this themselves?"

    Chen Feng was somewhat surprised. Such sillymand tokens should only be something that existed in wuxia novels, right?

    "The reason for this announcement is quite simple as well. For such arge-scale undertaking, it is simply impossible to keep it under wraps. As such, they might as well directly announce it themselves. This act can be used as a means of scaring the Gic Union while they are at it." Hou Liang shook his head and continued, "By doing this, they can showcase their confidence as well."

    Chen Feng was filled with doubt. "True. But then, is this thing here really so terrifying?"

    "Don¡¯t look down on it." Hou Liang had a solemn expression. "Let me show you some data." As Hou Liang finished speaking, he took out the recordings of the previous times the Mysterious Killing Command had been issued and yed them for Chen Feng. This was the first time Chen Feng hadid his eyes on the details of what had happened back then.

    The Mysterious Killing Command was an extremely unique operation. Different from other killingmands, this particrmand had a fixed time frame. What it looked for was a supereruption of killing attempts within a short period of time. The duration was one hour!

    That¡¯s right. Only a single hour. Within an hour, countless enemies woulde attacking, causing the target to fail to defend against the killers. This extremely formidablebat power was sufficient to break through all sorts of defenses.

    "But even with this, it will still be impossible to break through the defenses of the Gic Union!" Chen Feng stated with full confidence.

    What joke was that?

    If the danger would even befall someone at the deepest of the Gic Union¡¯s core region, did that not signify that their enemies had the capability to destroy anyone in the Gic Union they wished to?

    That was simply impossible!

    Chen Feng was sure that there were certain locations impossible to be invaded before the entirety of Gic Union was destroyed.

    Hou Liang merely sighed. "Why is there a need to break into those core areas though? Watch on."

    Shua.

    Light swirled. The recording was yed. Back then, the Mysterious Organization¡¯s target had been an A-ss gic warrior of the Gic Union. The union had allowed him to hide in themand center of the union. However, after the Mysterious Killing Command had been issued, countless assassins hade forth, and every single one of them was an A-ss warrior.

    Next, a great battle had erupted. A huge amount of experts had been dispatched by the union to stop them. However, outside of everyone¡¯s expectations, when the enemies had finally been stopped after great difficulty, they had discovered that the target was already dead.

    Just like that, under everyone¡¯s protection, he had died of heart failure.

    "Heart failure?" Chen Feng listened to this somewhat inconceivable reason of death. What manner of death was this?

    "We are not sure either." Hou Liang shook his head. "Subsequently, the traces of countless abilities were found in his body. For example, curses, weakening abilities, and the like. A whole bunch of distance-ignoring abilities were found in his body.

    Chen Feng was startled. "Super-long-range attacks?"

    "Mhm." Hou Liang appeared certain. "Based on our guesses, those A-ss warriors were merely meant as distractions, even if 10 A-ss warriors were paid as the price. The true method used to kill the target was super-long-range attacks. After the A-ss warriors attracted all the attention, the long-range attacksnded, and none were capable of blocking them."

    "In that person¡¯s corpse, traces of several hundred different attacks were found. Some of them were weak and were simply ineffective by themselves, but such an amount of attacks added up..." Hou Liang had an unsightly expression.

    Chen Feng was amazed. "The target failed to defend himself in time against the flood of attacks?" Since those long-range attacks were too peculiar, the Gic Union should be much better at defending against them, right? Why had they failed to defend against such attacks?

    Hou Liang smiled bitterly and exined patiently to Chen Feng.

    The reasons were quite simple:

    1. The people arranged to deal with these attacks had all been forced to deal with the A-ss warriors that hade attacking. As such, the defensive measures put in ce for long-range attacks were greatly weakened.

    2. The number was too high. Several hundred distance-ignoring attacks and long-range attacks had been found. These were merely the leftovers found after everything was done. How about the ones that had been undetected? The actual number of attacks? Several hundred of them? More than a thousand? Several thousand? Or more? Nobody knew exactly how many attacks the Mysterious Organization had sent their way.

    3. The attacks had simply been too concentrated. There was a reason the duration of the Mysterious Killing Command was concentrated to a period of one hour. A lot of defensive measures put in ce against those long-range attacks required around one hour of recovery between activation. After the first attack was intercepted, it would not work again within a short period of time.

    4. The Gene Production Association and Gic Union had been cking.

    "????"

    Chen Feng was confused.

    The first three reasons was something he found eptable, but thest reason...

    cking? They cked?

    The heck?

    "This..." Hou Liang felt somewhat awkward at that as well. After regaining hisposure, he sighed before continuing, "For the so-called Mysterious Killing Command, the Mysterious Organization had suffered a greater amount of lossespared to us."

    Chen Feng nodded. He was aware of this.

    The Mysterious Organization might appear incredibly mighty. However, they had also suffered great losses to organize this single operation.

    If one were to only look at the data, the Mysterious Organization was the actual party that suffered the most losses.

    For example: that hunted A ss.

    The Mysterious Organization had indeed sessfully killed him. However, they had lost 10 A-ss warriors for this, and countless B-ss warriors had been sacrificed as well. There were also quite a few experts that had suffered from the bacsh of their attacks. All this hadn¡¯t even taken into ount the costs of undertaking this operation.

    Chen Feng widened his eyes. "Do you mean..."

    "That¡¯s right." Hou Liang smiled bitterly. "There are some who believe that the issuance of this Mysterious Killing Command is actually beneficial to us."

    Chen Feng was stupefied. "What the f*ck."

    What the heck were these people thinking?

    "It¡¯s not that they want to give up on protecting our man," Hou Liang exined. "However, they believe that this is a very good opportunity for them to kill as many of the enemies as they can while protecting our man at the same time. I guess you can say they are nning to reach two goals at the same time."

    Chen Feng felt powerless to even berate this. "The f*ck is the point?"

    They had failed to even protect previously, and now they were thinking that this issuance of the Mysterious Killing Command was beneficial?

    Their brains were damaged indeed.

    "Who was the previous target?" Chen Feng asked suddenly.

    Hou Liang lowered his voice and said, "The firstborn of the Ye family, the person in charge of a certain project. Due to his death, the whole project was abandoned. It might appear like we only lost a single A-ss warrior, but the truth is that our loss was actually much greater than that! That child was Ye Zhongchu, a rare genius researcher. He had repeatedly created miracles and obtained breakthroughs in a lot of areas of research. Oh, right, you should have heard of his younger brother, Ye Zhongtong."

    Chen Feng sunk into a solemn mood. "It¡¯s that Ye family?"

    The Ye family had originally been quite a powerful n and had been fighting on the Gic Union¡¯s side. However, they had ended up with half their young perishing in missions. Ye Zhongtong was one of them. Unexpectedly, his older brother had ended up dead for the Gic Union as well. Subsequently, the initially huge Ye family had degraded into a normal family.

    Hou Liang sighed. "Yes."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Did that group of people not take this into consideration?" He refused to believe that the upper levels of the Gic Union could be so stupid. This was such a simple thing to figure out...

    For the Mysterious Organization to issue their Mysterious Killing Command, it signified that Ye Zhongchu¡¯s research at that time had reached a point sufficient to threaten the Mysterious Organization. That was the reason they had been willing to attack him at all costs. Even with this, that group of people had still believed that this exchange with the Mysterious Organization had been beneficial to the union? Had they been kicked in the head by a donkey?

    Hou Liang shook his head. "Naturally, they thought of all this as well. However, that group of people was also the same group of people that had initially been opposed to the research Ye Zhongchu was involved in. After all, every single research started by Ye Zhongchu required a huge amount of funding. Next, after Ye Zhongchu¡¯s death, those funds hadnded in their hands instead. These were all crafty people." Hou Liang sneered.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    So all this had been due to the fight over benefits?

    "The viins are indeed the more united party," Chen Fengmented.

    Just look at the Mysterious Organization. No wonder they were able to operate undetected for so many years. No wonder their leader was able to reach a point where a singlemand of his would be carried out by countless people. No one would dare to have any different thoughts or oppose him.

    The Gic Union was indeed the organization with more freedom, where human rights were respected. At the same time, though, this led to a huge amount of greed. Chen Feng¡¯s identity might still hold some weight at the Gene Production Association, but in the Gic Union, his title of excellent producer wasn¡¯t particrly useful there.

    Moreover, Chen Feng reckoned that there would be quite a number of people there hating him due to all sorts of reasons.

    This was something he was extremely certain of.

 Chapter 310: Preparation

    Chapter 310: Preparation

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng sighed. "I suppose I can only rely on myself, then."

    Hou Liang shook his head. "It¡¯s not that bad yet. The Gic Union is only thinking of using this as an opportunity to stir up some trouble. As an excellent producer, they will still be required to give you your deserved protection. It¡¯s only that the direction they take toward protecting you... might be somewhat different than expected."

    Chen Feng merely sneered as a response. "Heh."

    Protecting him? Chen Feng reckoned that those people were merely nning to take this chance to get rid of more of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s A-ss warriors.

    "But," Hou Liang paused, "this can be beneficial as well. Since they are nning to make a move on the Mysterious Organization, there will definitely be a huge amount of gic warriors protecting you against direct attacks."

    "I understand."

    Chen Feng was sure that these people would definitely be targeting those warriors that came attacking. As for those distance-ignoring attacks, such as curses, he could only rely on himself.

    Chen Feng sunk into contemtion. "Seems like I need to think of something."

    Distance-ignoring attacks were something extremely troublesome to deal with. These abilities were, in actuality, extremely niche abilities. As such, they would be quite simple to deal with as well. For example, for some unique abilities that appeared like distance-ignoring attacks yet in fact were attacks channeled through signal transmissions, such abilities could be defended against by simply blocking signal transmissions. Extremely simple! As for other such abilities, there were also simrly simple methods of dealing with them.

    Ny percent of the so-called distance-ignoring abilities were in fact abilities that required channeling mediums. As long as these mediums were blocked, Chen Feng would be safe.

    However, this method would only be limited to attacks Chen Feng was aware of. In reality, the biggest trouble of dealing with this was the sheer amount of attackers, each of them possessing different long-range attacks, resulting in defending against them turning into an extremely difficult feat.

    The Mysterious Organization had 56 A-ss warriors. How about their B-ss warriors? The amount was simply too high to count. Among these people, how many of them possessed unique abilities? Or perhaps C-ss warriors would be participating as well? Among them, how many possessed distance-ignoring abilities as well?

    Under normal circumstances, these abilities would hardly pose any threat to Chen Feng. However, when they all umted, their threat level might change as well.

    All this did not even take into consideration the possibility of these abilities mutating after being mixed up with a huge number of other abilities. A lot of these abilities were genuine distance-ignoring abilities that would directlynd on his body. How was he supposed to defend against them?

    Chen Feng could imagine that, the moment the Mysterious Killing Command was activated, only a singlemand would be required for countless members of the Mysterious Organization from every nook of the world who possessed such abilities to start spamming them toward Chen Feng. There would be several thousands or even several tens of thousands of abilities raining upon Chen Feng at the same time. At that time, who would be able to defend against these abilities?

    Chen Feng was sure that, at that time, the first thing he would need to focus on would be the numerous A-ss warriors that woulde for direct attacks, not those distance-ignoring attacks.

    The Mysterious Organization was simply so united that it caused one¡¯s heart to palpitate.

    With such a two-pronged attack, who would be able to defend Chen Feng?

    The Gic Union wasn¡¯t weak. One could even say that they were stronger than the Mysterious Organization. However, a majority of their members were out there doing various missions. This, coupled with the various factions in the union... if Chen Feng decided to rely on these people, he might as well wait for a pig to start climbing a tree. Oh, right, in this gic era, there indeed existed pigs capable of climbing trees.

    "You must be careful," Hou Liang advised.

    Chen Feng nodded slightly. "Understood."

    No matter what, he would still have to go to the Gic Union. Even if they were not truly willing to protect Chen Feng, they would at least be willing to kill those A-ss warriors of the Mysterious Organization to earn some contribution. In a way, this would be helpful to Chen Feng as well.

    They wanted to make use of Chen Feng. However, Chen Feng intended to make use of them as well.

    That night, Hou Liang¡¯s message arrived.

    Based on the calction of some experts with prophecy-rted abilities, the Mysterious Killing Command would be activated 10 dayster, around 10 AM in the morning, for a duration of one hour.

    For this, Chen Feng was not the only one who needed to make his preparations. The Mysterious Organization needed to make their own preparations as well.

    Chen Feng sunk into contemtion. "Let¡¯s think about this."

    After 10 days, at a specific instant, the Mysterious Organization would begin their attack against him. First, a huge amount of A-ss warriors wouldunch direct attacks against him to keep the experts of the Gic Union busy. Next, a huge amount and numerous types of long-range sneak attacks wouldnd on Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    Whether or not he would be able to survive this would depend entirely on luck.

    Chen Feng contemted. "Distance ignoring..."

    Ten days! A mere 10 days were definitely not sufficient for him to have too great an improvement in strength.

    With the death lion extinct, Chen Feng would not be able to use even a basic method such as gene strengthening to improve himself. As such, a huge amount of improvement in such a short period of time was nearly impossible for him now.

    However, he was not just a gic warrior, he was a gene producer as well.

    "There should be some gene reagents capable of defending against such abilities, right?"

    Chen Feng checked the gene bank.

    To defend against curse-type abilities, one¡¯s spiritual energy would y a crucial role. Apart from this, there were also all sorts of gene reagents capable of mustering some sort of defense against these abilities.

    Spiritual energy enhancement gene reagents...

    Learned.

    Spiritual defensive structure constructions...

    Learned.

    Cheng Feng took all the forms that might be helpful to him.

    Within these 10 days, he had to prepare sufficiently.

    During this period, Hou Liang was in charge of transmitting news rted to Chen Feng and the Gic Union. To prevent early sneak attacks before the allotted time, they had decided to ce Chen Feng at the Gic Union in advance.

    All the required production materials would be transported by them. Seemingly trying to give Chen Feng some sort of reparation for the risk he had to take, things previously restricted to Chen Feng were all made avable to him now.

    Learning!

    Learning!

    Production!

    Production!

    Chen Feng sunk into a cycle of such activities.

    No one was aware of the amount of gene reagents he produced these few days. No one knew of the amount of preparations he made.

    Xu Fei was somewhat anxious. "Unfortunately, we can¡¯t be of much help to him."

    Despite his previous body transformation, his actualbat power had still been too weak. This time, the enemies Chen Feng faced were too terrifying. A new C ss like him was simply unqualified to participate in the uing battle. During the previous Nether Capital battle, despite the amount of danger, he had still been able to help hunt a death lion for Chen Feng. However, he had still owed Chen Feng for way too many things, such as the heaven-dazzling gene reagent and the generous rewards he had obtained from the Gic Union thanks to Chen Feng. All these were benefits he would not have obtained without Chen Feng.

    Xu Fei inhaled deeply.

    Bang!

    Layers of mysterious-looking imprints started flickering on his skin.

    Xu Fei¡¯s gaze was resolute. "I will definitely be stronger."

    Currently, in Star City, arge amount of people wanted to help Chen Feng. However, they were, after all, too weak. As for people like Qin Hai and Wang Chun, they were not even qualified to get involved in this.

    However, shortly after Wang Chun left, he paused his steps.

    "I can be of help?" Wang Chun was overjoyed, and heughed heartily. "All right. Haha, no matter what help it is, I will definitely help you.

    His body that had been on the way home turned around and went to the Gic Union instead.

    Time passed quietly.

    Ten days passed quickly.

    At the Gic Union, Chen Feng was seated cross legged in the middle of their center hall. He had been maintaining this posture for several days now. Around him were all sorts of restrictions.

    These few days, Chen Feng had not rested or eaten or drunk anything. All his time had been spent putting these restrictions in ce.

    In his surroundings, countless Gic Union experts were hidden, preparing to ambush the attackers.

    Suddenly, a thunderous sound could be heard from the entrance.

    "Here ites."

    Everyone sunk into a solemn mood.

 Chapter 311: Astonishing Methods

    Chapter 311: Astonishing Methods

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    For arge amount of people, the Mysterious Killing Command was quite an idiotic thing. Wasting a huge amount of resources and manpower to achieve a goal that did not really make up for the losses. Regardless of how one looked at it, this was akin to digging one¡¯s own grave, an act that would not gain the Mysterious Organization any benefits.

    For a person called Ji Feng, this was quite the beneficial thing for him.

    A smile appeared on Ji Feng¡¯s face. "What a beautiful sectorial strife."

    Due to the different conflicts between factions in the Union, despite the fact that a lot of people had mentioned the importance of Chen Feng as a person, there were still a number of people that weren¡¯t bothered about him. They believed that Chen Feng wasn¡¯t too important a person and was not worth the exhaustion of too many resources to protect. One had to know that every single allocation of funds would go through stringent audits before approval. As for protecting Chen Feng... especially against those curses, a huge amount of funding would be required.

    This was the reason Chen Feng had never received any sort of protection from the Gic Union all this while.

    To use such an amount of funds, a huge amount of discussions were required. All sorts of elders would be required to vote on it as well. A lot of people were unable to find any excuses to vote against this, but they had chosen a simpler method of dealing with this: to drag it on.

    Therefore, up till now, the usage of this funding had still not been approved.

    The only measure taken was quite the simple one. Gic Union members in missions nearby had all been recalled back to the Union to protect the Gic Union and try their best to kill as many of the enemies as possible. As for other measures, Chen Feng would have to rely on himself.

    As such, from the beginning, a lot of people had already known the end result of this Mysterious Killing Command: The Mysterious Organization would lose a huge amount of A-ss experts. The Gic Union would be pleased with this result. As for Chen Feng, he would be dead. The Mysterious Organization would be simrly pleased and stop their move after this. Both sides would be satisfied with the end result. This would be simr to the previous issuance of the Mysterious Killing Command.

    This was quite clear from the indifferent attitude of these people from the Gic Union toward the Mysterious Killing Command.

    None of them were actually afraid of it. Rather, they were quite looking forward to it.

    For a lot of them, this was the best opportunity to strike their enemy and the other factions in the Gic Union.

    Ji Fengughed. "Gic Union..."

    The Gic Union was an extremelyrge organization,rger than the Mysterious Organization. However, due to the different factions in it and the so-called freedom granted to their members, their efficiency in tackling different issues was fated to beckingpared to the Mysterious Organization.

    "Boss, since they do not intend to protect Chen Feng, why don¡¯t we use killing curses instead..." someone proposed.

    Pa!

    Ji Feng¡¯s pnded on his face. "Although those people were involved in internal struggles, do you think they are all idiots? Around Chen Feng, there are at least 20 A-ss experts lingering. If we do not send sufficient assassins over for direct attacks, do you think that the curses will even reach Chen Feng before being intercepted by those A-ss experts?"

    "They won¡¯t be able to intercept all of them, right?" that person said in a wronged manner. "Moreover, there are still a huge amount of distance-ignoring and space-ignoring abilities. Only a small portion of them need tond on Chen Feng. The defenseless Chen Feng will..."

    Pa!

    Another pnded. "Even if the Gic Union wasn¡¯t bothered with protecting Chen Feng, that would not mean that Chen Feng will not have any defensive measures. Do you understand? Chang Luguo, read the tips we got to this idiot."

    "All right." The young man called Chang Luguo walked out and adjusted his spectacles in a schrly manner.

    "Based on the tip-off we received, despite the fact that the Gic Union has not provided additional funding to Chen Feng, he has still used a huge amount of funding to set up an inescapable at his location. To avoid any mishaps, he has even stayed in there for several days, waiting for our attack."

    "Did you hear that?" Ji Feng snorted and continued, "You should keep in mind that a person qualified to have the Mysterious Killing Command issued on them is definitely not an ordinary person. This is especially true for this person, the creator of the heaven-dazzling gene reagent. He won¡¯t becking at all when ites to money. Hence, this will be an extremely difficult battle. Do you understand?"

    As of now, the screen on his wristband shone. Finally, the countdown on it reached zero.

    Mysterious Killing Command, activated!

    Shua!

    The ice-cold walls all over him instantly turned into multiple screens. From the moment the countdown reached zero, all the screens would be disying what was going on at the Gic Union. This was a war.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    On the left and right screens were theparisons between the strength of the Gic Union and Mysterious Organization.

    Mysterious Organization: XX A-ss gic warriors, XX B-ss gic warriors...

    Gic Union: XX A-ss gic warriors, XX B-ss gic warriors...

    On the center screen was a huge panoramic map.

    All the information disyed here was information obtained by the elite specialists of the Mysterious Organization. As a proper organization, their focus had not only been on nurturingbatants. The entire Mysterious Organization was essentially run in a way simr to the feudal kingdoms of the past.

    No parliaments were required, no votes were required, no consideration of gains or losses, no consideration of funds. Only a single order from their leader and their scouting mechanisms would be activated immediately.

    This was the gic era, an era where, apart frombat power, the strongest point of humanity was the amount of information avable to them.

    Ji Feng¡¯s cold gazended on the center screen. "As such... What makes you think you are capable of contending against me?"

    Shua!

    The Mysterious Organization made their move.

    Yes, the location of the battle would be the Gic Union¡¯s base, where the Gic Union would possess natural advantages. But then, so what? Every single ability, strength, ormonly used strategy of theirs had been cleanly analyzed. The 10 days of preparation time had been used by the Mysterious Organization to study these opponents.

    Hua!

    The battle of A-ss warriors started.

    This seemed like a chaotic battle. However, unknown to anyone, each of the experts of the Mysterious Organization had their own respective opponents chosen in advance in order to ensure that their respective opponents were all those with abilities weak against them.

    After all, they did not need to kill these people. Merely dragging it out would be sufficient.

    Ten...

    Five...

    Three...

    One...

    Soon, the number of unupied Gic Union members dropped to zero.

    Ji Feng¡¯s mouth curled up, forming a smile. "This is much easier than the previous time was."

    Shua!

    To be safe, he had also dispatched an additional A-ss expert over to help against other experts who each had their own pre-assigned opponents. When things got dangerous to any of them, this A-ss expert with high movement speed would be able to provide some assistance.

    Compared to the previous issuance of the Mysterious Killing Command, they were aiming to have zero casualties this time around. The n was progressing smoothly.

    Then... next, it¡¯s your turn.

    Ji Feng shifted his focus to a location several hundred meters away from the main battlefield, the innermost region of the Gic Union¡¯s base. There, within a small building, Chen Feng was seated cross-legged in silence.

    Around him, the whole building was filled with odd seals.

    Restriction?

    Ji Feng merely smiled at the sight of those. "It¡¯s time."

    Bang!

    Lightning descended from the sky. This was a lightning strike. Among all the existing distance-ignoring attacks, this was the fastest.

    That huge lightning bolt pierced through space itself and arrived above Chen Feng immediately. However, just as it touched the building Chen Feng was in, it was blocked by ayer of light. This was the defensive energy barrier of the Gic Union.

    This was a barrier with an extremely strong defense and an energy supply capable of self recovery. This was a defensive barrier nearly impossible to break. Unless...

    "First round, pure energy attacks," Ji Feng said indifferently.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Energy attacks started raining down upon Chen Feng.

    All sorts of distance-ignoring attacks, wind attacks, fire attacks, and lightning attacks... numerous types of long-range attacks descended at nearly the same moment andnded on the that building. All of themnded at the exact same instant.

    Ka!

    Ka!

    On that previously unwavering energy barrier, a crack appeared.

    "How is that possible?"

    The people of the Gic Union were shaken.

    This was too fast. During the previous Mysterious Killing Command, breaking the defensive barrier alone had taken the enemy two whole minutes. These two minutes were exactly what they had made use of to kill several A-ss experts of the Mysterious Organization. The Gic Union was not to be underestimated, after all.

    Two minutes would be sufficient to cause great losses to the Mysterious Organization. Outside of everyone¡¯s expectations, though, this time, only 10 seconds had been taken to break the defensive barrier.

    Ji Feng sneered. "Idiots."

    Do you think that you guys are the only party that is improving in strength? Then... time to start the second step!

    "Killing curses!" Ji Feng ordered with a cold expression.

    Since the defensive barrier had been broken, the actual killing could begin.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    One after another, bizarre, never-before-seen abilities descended noiselessly. The sky above the Gic Union changed as bizarre abilitiesing from all corners of the world condensed there and formed a clump of bizarre radiance with seven colors. This clump of radiance that had gathered a countless amount of terrifying and astonishing abilities started descending noiselessly.

    What was going on?

    Everyone¡¯s expression turned unsightly. The barrage of energy attacks earlier had arrived in such a manner. Even the current killing curses were such as well. When had the Mysterious Organization be so powerful?

    Wait... could it be...

    "Not good."

    Everyone¡¯s expression changed abruptly.

    That clump was not made up purely of killing curses. Among the several tens of thousands of abilities within that clump, 10% of them were purely fusion-rted abilities. These abilities had zero killing power yet were capable of fusing all the abilities around them. When all these abilities fused together, an iparably terrifying mutation would ur.

    The same thing had also happened earlier during the barrage of energy attacks. That was the reason their defensive barrier had broken so fast. Now, the same thing was repeating!

    Things were about to get dangerous for Chen Feng!

    In the Gic Union, the Mysterious Organization¡¯s sudden eruption stupefied everyone present. The Gic Union was able to react speedily to it and blocked the direct attacks with great difficulty. However, they were simply incapable of providing muchst minute aid to Chen Feng.

    The mutated attack that was a fusion of numerous attacks was excessively powerful.

    Currently, above the Gic Union¡¯s base, the whole sky changed color. A boundless energy was dispersing around the sky, giving onlookers a peculiar sense of pressure.

    "Chen Feng is finished..."

    Everyone¡¯s heart chilled.

    They had all expected to fail protecting Chen Feng. However, they had never imagined that it would actually happen this fast.

    "This can¡¯t happen!"

    Some clenched their teeth. "Even if Chen Feng were to die, some enemies must die with him as well. Otherwise, the Gic Union will be reduced to a joke!"

    "Yes."

    Everyone was startled awake.

    True, if they allow the Mysterious Organization to take Chen Feng¡¯s life just like that, where should the Gic Union put their face? During the previous Mysterious Killing Command, they had at least managed to kill 10 A-ss experts to make up for their loss.

    Kill!

    Kill!

    Kill!

    The Gic Union¡¯s experts started going berserk and attacking crazily.

    However, the members of the Mysterious Organization in charge this time, who were so far away from them, were not the least bothered with this.

    "Has the target¡¯s location been ascertained?"

    "Yes, Chen Feng is right inside that hall."

    "Good, lockdown!"

    "Lockdownpleted!"

    Ji Feng issued his final order calmly, "Then... let¡¯s start."

    Bang!

    Finally, the attack started descending upon the Gic Union. That attack that had been condensing in the sky for a long time with a countless amount of attacks, that mutated super-long-range attack was finally descending!

    Without the defensive barrier, what could Chen Feng rely on to block this attack?

    Relying on himself? That would be a joke.

    An attack at such a level was something even an A ss might fail to defend against. In order to assure the sess of their current mission, Ji Feng had prepared attacks that would normally be used against A-ss warriors. As for their current target, Chen Feng, he was a mere C ss!

    He was simply incapable of any resistance.

    Surprisingly, though, just as that seemingly boundless attack was descending, above the hall Chen Feng was in, ayer of blue light appeared.

    Hum¡ª

    Countless sparkling particles could be seen gleaming. Those blue particles came together to form a thin barrier, and beyond everyone¡¯s expectations, it blocked the iing attack!

    ??

    Ji Feng stood up abruptly. "That is... Deep Blue¡¯s Sea? Did the Gic Union approve the funding for Chen Feng? They are nning to put their all into helping Chen Feng?"

    Deep Blue¡¯s Sea was an extremely powerful defensive measure against curse-type abilities. It was capable of defending against all sorts of "non-physical" attacks.

    Its only weakness was its extremely expensive price and the short duration of its activation.

    Due to it being too powerful and terrifying, this item could only stay active for the short duration of one second. On top of that, it was extremely expensive.

    Normally, it would only be used when one was fleeing for one¡¯s life from a battle and had a feeling that the enemy was going to use a killing curse. To use this thing effectively, a certain amount of guesswork was required. Only those seniors with hugebat experience were able to urately grasp the timing of when a killing curse would be released.

    As for Chen Feng, he was evidently not such a person. If so, what was up with the deployment of that Deep Blue¡¯s Sea that was right on time?

    Ji Feng narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure that the Gic Union has not interfered?"

    Chang Luguo was extremely certain. "They have not. Based on the tip-off, the Gene Production Association indeed allotted a huge amount of assistance to Chen Feng. As for the Gic Union, they were simply not close enough to Chen Feng. As such, they were only focused on preparing for their mission of counterkilling our people. As for the other matters, such as allocating additional funding to protect Chen Feng... that is impossible! In the meeting they held 10 days ago, the proposal to enroll Chen Feng into a special protection program was rejected as well," Chang Luguo analyzed calmly.

    Doubt flickered in Ji Feng¡¯s eyes. "It was rejected?"

    Since the proposal had been rejected, where had this Deep Blue¡¯s Seae from?

    "Could this be something the Gene Production Association prepared themselves?" guessed Ji Feng.

    If every single one of the grandmasters at the association were to produce one each and gift it to Chen Feng, the umted amount would be quite huge. As such, it would be affordable for Chen Feng to use it now.

    Chang Luguo shook his head. "That is not possible. Even if they wanted to help, the cost of deploying this thing would not change. For something like an A-ss gene reagent, an ordinary person would definitely not be able to help much. As for Chen Feng, even if he had always been a genius producer, he is too far away from the level required to produce this thing himself. "

    Doubt appeared in Ji Feng¡¯s eyes. "Weird..."

    If it wasn¡¯t something he produced himself, and it wasn¡¯t something gifted to him or funded by the Gic Union, where had this Deep Blue¡¯s Seae from?

    Right at this moment.

    Shua!

    A second passed. Above the hall, another blueyer appeared.

    It was another Deep Blue¡¯s Sea!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    After every single second, that blueyer reappeared. Against this nearly perfect defensive barrier, that terrifying curseunched by the Mysterious Organization was akin to a decoration, as it became useless.

    One time.

    Two times.

    Five times.

    ...

    When this carried on for two minutes, Ji Feng was already dumbfounded.

    Thirty times!

    Within these two minutes, they hadunched 30 attacks. They had also intentionally stopped for several seconds between their attacks just to avoid the activation of Deep Blue¡¯s Sea.

    However, every single time their attack was about tond, a Deep Blue¡¯s Sea would coincidentally activate at the same time. The timing of their activation was simply too urate!

    "Damn it." Ji Feng could not understand this. "What on earth is going on? How could a mere producer like Chen Feng have such perfect grasp on the timing of our attacks?"

    "Let me do some investigating."

    Chang Luguo assigned someone to check it out. Soon, they received the answer. However, as he received the answer, an odd expression appeared on his face. He smiled bitterly when he saw Ji Feng¡¯s strict expression and said, "Chen Feng has not grasped the timing of even one of our attacks."

    Ji Feng stared at Chang Luguo like he was staring at an idiot. "No??"

    Chang Luguo smiled bitterly. "Nope. That guy... has been spamming Deep Blue¡¯s Sea every single second without stop. Every second, he activates a new one. Although we can¡¯t see the actual scene of what¡¯s going on there, our grandmaster was able to sense 120 activations of Deep Blue¡¯s Sea throughout the two-minute period."

    ???

    Ji Feng was truly dumbfounded.

    A hundred and twenty activations of Deep Blue¡¯s Sea? How expensive was that thing? They had onlyunched 30 attacks so far. As for Chen Feng, he had actually activated Deep Blue¡¯s Sea 120 times? The heck? If so, he was practically immune to all non-physical attacks now.

    That was an extremely powerful A-ss gene reagent! That was an extremely valuable gene reagent! He had actually chosen to waste all of them like that? And the Gic Union had actually allowed such wastage?

    He was certain that, regardless of the amount of funding actually approved for Chen Feng, they would definitely not allow such wanton wastage by Chen Feng! How could he do this?! What a waste!

    "Oh." Chang Luguo contacted their spy and returned with an odd expression on his face. "ording to the tip-off, he was spending his own money. As such, the Gic Union could do nothing about it."

    Ji Feng had a nk expression. "His own money?"

    The heck? This works? Wait... where did this guy get all the money?

    Ji Feng was able to figure out the main issue quickly, since this was not 120 lollipops Chen Feng had used here. Rather, he had used 120 expensive A-ss gene reagents here.

    "Mhm..." After some investigating, Chang Luguo said, "A few days ago, the heaven-dazzling gene reagent started its sale. The price was extremely expensive. As of now, it has reached over 100,000 units in sales volume." After Chang Luguo finished his calction, he had an unsightly expression. "Mhm, based on our calctions, this amount of money is sufficient for Chen Feng to purchase 3,600 sets of Deep Blue¡¯s Sea."

    As for Ji Feng, he waspletely dumbstruck.

    Thirty six hundred?

    If he were to use one per second, he would be able tost for one whole hour?

    The hell? Even the Mysterious Killing Command would only be active for one hour. After one hour, the price they had to pay for this would be too huge.

    Ji Feng was bewildered. "Therefore, our current target is a super wealthy person?"

    Chan Luguo whispered, "Yes. To be more urate, he is now akin to a pay-to-win yer."

    Ji Feng: "..."

    He used to game as well. As such, he was aware of the term pay-to-win. However, that was only in games. In the real world, this was the first time he¡¯d encountered such a person! He had never expected it to be so terrifying when it happened in the real world!

    Super-long-range attacks?

    Killing curses?

    What were the point of these?

    Have you seen someone spam A-ss gene reagents like fireworks?

    Ji Feng stared at the sky. One terrifying attack after anothernded on the Gic Union. However, all of them were blocked by that blueyer.

    What the heck was this?

    Ji Feng was dumbstruck. This was the very first time he¡¯d felt so lost in a mission.

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the Gic Union, the curses that had been raining down stopped suddenly. The Mysterious Organization¡¯s members were not the only ones stunned. Even the members of the Gic Union were shocked. This was the first time they had found out that Chen Feng was actually this rich.

    He was too freaking rich.

    The profit brought to Chen Feng by the heaven-dazzling gene reagent could simply be described with the word "horrifying." Curses? Nope. Long range attacks? Nope. Anything money could solve was no longer a problem.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Curses rained down without stop.

    "Attack! Go, attack!" Ji Feng¡¯s eyes were bloodshot. "It is not possible for him to have 3,600 of them! Even the entire supply of Deep Blue¡¯s Sea gene reagents avable at cirction in the market will not reach 3,600!"

    Deep Blue¡¯s Sea gene reagents were an extremely rare item. Even if Chen Feng purchased every single one of them in the virtual market, he should not be able to obtain this many.

    Based on the previous record, the entirety of the virtual market would only have around 1,000 of them in cirction. That was simply too far from 3,600.

    Ji Feng sneered. "Continue bombarding! Trying to y tricks in front of me? You are still too tender for that. We will be able to insta-kill him the moment we exhaust his supply of Deep Blue¡¯s Sea."

    He was certain that Chen Feng would only have 1,000 of them.

    He was most probably using this method to give an illusion that he had a never-ending amount of Deep Blue¡¯s Sea to scare them away from attacking, forcing them to retreat.

    How was that possible? There were only so many Deep Blue¡¯s Sea gene reagents avable in the market. Even if one could afford it, one would still not be able to get that much of them.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Attacks rained down without stop.

    Ji Feng watched on coldly. "Let me see just how long you canst."

    Right at this moment, Chang Luguo scratched his head and said, "Oh, right..."

    "What?" Ji Feng asked impatiently.

    "It is true that there are only 1,000 Deep Blue¡¯s Seas avable at the market. However, based on the new information we gathered, we noted that Chen Feng purchased a huge amount of materials these past few days. All of them were sent to Star City. It might be possible that he was producing these without stop for the past few days..." Chang Luguo said.

    Ji Feng had a dumbstruck expression. "Production??? How many of them can he produce in 10 days? Every single person capable of producing this Deep Blue¡¯s Sea is a master producer."

    Chang Luguo smiled bitterly. "Yes. But then, even though Chen Feng¡¯s prestige isn¡¯t particrly high at the Gic Union, he is an excellent producer of the Gene Production Association. With that status of his, he had almost all the grandmaster producers at the association helping him. Furthermore, we received an extremely odd tip-off. During this period of time, everyone there had an extremely high production sess rate. As such, it is quite possible that they truly have a sufficient supply of Deep Blue¡¯s Sea gene reagents," Chang Luguo finished with a sigh.

    ??

    Ji Feng was dumbfounded.

    So they truly did notck Deep Blue¡¯s Sea? If so, how the f*ck were they supposed to continue this battle? Their main method of attack in this mission was curse-type long-range attacks!

    If those were no longer effective...

    Ji Feng¡¯s heart chilled.

    Was the Mysterious Killing Command about to suffer its very first failure?

    To organize this attack, the amount of resources they had spent was definitely not lower than the Gic Union¡¯s. Rather, they had spent much more than what the Gic Union had spent.

    Moreover...

    Ji Feng checked the current situation at the front line.

    After the Gic Union had started counterattacking crazily, the Mysterious Organization had already lost one A-ss warrior so far. Up until now, 20 minutes had passed. However, they had not even touched a single hair on Chen Feng¡¯s body. Instead, they had lost a powerful A-ss gic warrior!

    Ji Feng¡¯s heart chilled. "What should we do?"

    This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. This was also the first time he had known how scary the rich could be. That asshole simply had apletely different method of battling!

    "Should we... attack again after one hour?" Chang Luguo probed.

    Ji Feng shook his head decisively. "Impossible. A lot of our participants are those who forcefully freed up an hour of their time from their other missions in order to participate in this. If our missionsts even a single second longer, something major might happen, as all those other missions will be implicated. Moreover, the one-hour duration is a rule established by the organization. The moment we force them to stay any longer, they might stop listening to us the next time. Besides that, what can we do even if we decide to extend the time? How many Deep Blue¡¯s Sea gene reagents does Chen Feng have in his hands? An unknown amount.

    "Are we they only ones capable of dragging this out? Chen Feng can do the same thing as well. I reckon only a short break is required before the Gic Union¡¯s defensive barrier will start recovering... Chen Feng can simply stop using Deep Blue¡¯s Sea and only continue using it again during our next round of attacks." Ji Feng smiled bitterly.

    Chang Luguo: "..."

    They exchanged nces, nk expressions on their faces.

    How should they proceed, then?

    There indeed existed some simple methods of dealing with Deep Blue¡¯s Sea. Any random A-ss gic warrior breaking through the frontline to reach Chen Feng would be able to easily kill Chen Feng.

    However, that was simply impossible. Even during the previous Mysterious Killing Command, when that A-ss warrior had been killed, they had failed to break through the Gic Union¡¯s gate.

    What joke was that? This was the headquarters of Gic Union! If even their main gate was broken through by the Mysterious Organization, the Gic Union would have truly lost their face. There would no longer be any meaning to their existence.

    The super-long-range attacks they were currently using were hard to defend against, hence their initial sess. However, if they wanted to break into the Gic Union in a grandiose fashion, that was simply an impossible feat. It would only be possible if the Mysterious Organization decided to call in all their manpower and head into a battle to the death with the Gic Union. As such, this method was not feasible for them presently.

    Apart from a direct attack, there was another method of dealing with Deep Blue¡¯s Sea.

    There was a certain A-ss gene reagent capable of rendering Deep Blue¡¯s Sea ineffective. If they were tounch their long-range attacks at that same instant...

    Ji Feng clenched his teeth. "Buy a few of that gene reagent."

    Chang Luguo was somewhat anxious. "But the price..."

    Ji Feng was resolute. "We are alreadycking options. Even if we go over the budget, we must kill Chen Feng!"

    "All right."

    Soon, Chang Luguo was done buying 10 of them after spending a huge amount of price.

    Ji Feng inhaled deeply. "With 10 of them, Deep Blue¡¯s Sea will be stopped for 10 seconds. Within 10 seconds, our curses mustnd on Chen Feng!"

    "All right."

    Once again, the attacks started.

    Just as the curse was about tond, they used the newly bought gene reagent. The newly appeared Deep Blue¡¯s Sea disappeared instantly after the newly bought gene reagent was used.

    "Good opportunity!"

    Shua!

    Countless attacks started descending. However, right at this instant, a new blueyer appeared. Evidently, Deep Blue¡¯s Sea had been used by Chen Feng!

    "Again!"

    Once again, they used their gene reagent to get rid of it. However, almost immediately, a new blueyer appeared.

    This went on and on.

    Even when all 10 of their gene reagents had been used, not a single one of their attacks hadnded. They had all been blocked!

    Chen Feng had actually prepared to deal with this as well.

    "What should we do?" Chang Luguo asked with a bitter smile.

    Ji Feng had a resolute gaze. "Continue buying! The speed of their production will most definitely be too fast. The moment 1,000 of their Deep Blue¡¯s Sea are finished, coupled with our never-ending exhaustion of their supply... I refuse to believe they can stop us forever! How many Deep Blue¡¯s Sea gene reagents could they have produced in a few days time?"

    Ji Feng was an intelligent person.

    With a single look, he had seen the weakness of Chen Feng¡¯s solution to their attack.

    Granted, Chen Feng was an extremely rich person. However, money was not an omnipotent thing! Even with the assistance of the entire Gene Production Association, there were only a small amount of masters capable of actually producing Deep Blue¡¯s Sea. How many of them could be produced within 10 days? It was an extremely difficult feat to actually obtain 3,600 of them. Moreover, so what if Chen Feng actually had 3,600 of them? As long as the Mysterious Organization continued using the gene reagent to exhaust their Deep Blue¡¯s Sea...

    As long as there was a single second where Chen Feng was defenseless within this one hour... he would most certainly die.

    Chang Luguo was extremely anxious. "But our budget..."

    Ji Feng stared at him coldly. "What are you afraid of? The budget was allocated to kill Chen Feng in the first ce. Even if we spend it all, it won¡¯t matter."

    Chang Luguo had no choice but to obey themand. "All right."

    As such, this long-range killing curse transformed into apetition of producing and breaking Deep Blue¡¯s Sea gene reagents. It transformed into some sort of unconventional battle.

    The only thing Chang Luguo needed to concern himself with was buying, buying, and buying, to exhaust the Deep Blue¡¯s Sea gene reagents without stop.

    As for Chen Feng, he only needed to concern himself with producing without stop.

    This back and forth continued on for 10 whole minutes. However, even when their budget was nearing the bottom, Chen Feng was still a bottomless pit for them to sink their budget into.

    Ji Feng frowned. "What¡¯s going on?"

    With such a level of exhaustion, Chen Feng should have fully exhausted his supply by now, right?

    He was about to tell Chang Luguo to find out what was going on. However, right at this moment, he noticed that the Chang Luguo that had been purchasing gene reagents at the virtual market had paled suddenly. The reason for that was because he had finally found out the identity of the anonymous seller who had been selling the gene reagents to them without stop.

    Their gene reagents were actually being purchased from a shop called The Strongest Gene.

    If he remembered correctly, the owner of this shop was...

    "Fuck!"

    At that, the Chang Luguo who had always maintained a calmposure couldn¡¯t help himself but curse.

    This was too freaking excessive!

    Scam! This was simply a huge scam!

    They were able to immediately join the dots of everything that had been happening, and they had a "what the f*ck" feeling. Chen Feng was using such a method to milk their money? Milking their money?

    Someone gulped and said, "This should just be a coincidence, right? His shop might be automatically selling it while he himself is not aware that what he is selling is precisely what we require?"

    However, Chang Luguo merely nced at him coldly without saying anything. After a detailed investigation, they found something even scarier. A few days ago, this gene reagent had not been this expensive. Granted, back then, it had already been expensive. However, the previous price had merely been one third of its current price.

    Suddenly, someone had started cleaning all of them out from the market before reselling them today at a much higher price.

    As for who that mastermind was, they did not need much thought to figure it out. Chen Feng! The Strongest Gene shop!

    Ji Feng had a nk expression. "So... our entire budget has been milked by Chen Feng just like that?"

    Chang Luguo had already regained his calm. "That¡¯s right."

    The whole squad in charge of this mission sunk into silence. They had participated in numerous missions before, but when had they ever met such a b*stard of a target?

    Super scammer! Super shameless! On top of that, super rich!

    The most sorrowful of all this was the fact that, after careful calction, they found that their opponent had ended up profiting after all this despite the huge cost spent on the Deep Blue¡¯s Sea gene reagents. As for the contributor of this profit to their enemy, it was their very selves.

    As they thought of this, they felt like vomiting blood.

    What the heck was this? One should not bully others to such an extent, right?

    Ji Feng nked. "What should we do?"

    "Should we retreat?" proposed Chang Huguo with a lowered voice.

    "That is no longer possible." With a bitter smile, Ji Feng continued, "If we had chosen to retreat earlier, it would still be possible, but now..."

    He looked at the frontline. There, over half an hour had passed since the start of their Mysterious Killing Command¡¯s activation. Another A-ss gic warrior had been killed since then. As of now, they had lost a total of two A-ss warriors.

    Those were A-ss warriors! An existence normally so high above! The all-powerful A-ss!

    Now, just like that, two of them had been lost.

    On top of that, their entire budget had been spent as well. After paying such a high cost, if they ended up retreating, Ji Feng couldn¡¯t even begin to imagine what their fate would be.

    The mission had to bepleted, regardless of the price paid!

    Chang Luguo couldn¡¯t understand how were still they supposed toplete this mission. "How should weplete it?"

    "Deploy the dark seeds," Ji Feng said after inhaling deeply.

    What?

    Chang Luguo¡¯s heart jolted furiously.

    Dark seeds?

    The so-called dark seeds were their spies in the Gic Union.

    A dark seed would be hidden within the ranks of the Gic Union. Some had already been there for more than ten years, some even longer. The only reason these dark seeds remained undiscovered was the fact that they had never been truly deployed.

    The moment they established contact with any of these dark seeds, they would be discovered shortly.

    In actuality, these dark seeds were all one-time-use tools.

    These dark seeds had all been initially prepared for some other secret missions. If Ji Feng decided to rashly deploy them like this...

    Ji Feng inhaled deeply. "We have no other options."

    Chang Luguo was able to understand his concern. This was the only way out for them. "All right."

    Regardless of how powerful the Deep Blue¡¯s Sea gene reagent was, it would only be useful against non-physical attacks.

    If so, they only needed a single person to get near Chen Feng and silently kill him. That would be the end of this.

    "Hopefully, one dark seed is sufficient," Ji Feng whispered.

    At this point, he could only pray that they could minimize their losses.

    Shua!

    The order was issued.

    **

    In the Gic Union, the battle was still progressing on the frontlines.

    Suddenly, an A-ss expert retreated noiselessly and started heading toward the hall where Chen Feng was located. Everyone instinctively looked toward him.

    A gic warrior greeted him respectfully. "Old Chen."

    "We have guessed that they will send someone over to assassinate him. I¡¯m here to protect Chen Feng," Old Chen said with a deep tone.

    "All right." The gic warrior made way for him.

    However, just as Old Chen was about to approach Chen Feng, another person walked out. He was precisely Wang Chun, who then proceeded to raise his hand and stop Old Chen. "I¡¯m sorry. No one is allowed to enter."

    "Why not?" Old Chen asked coldly.

    "All the seals here have been put in ce purely to deal with the killing curses. The moment an outsider enters, all the defenses put in ce will immediately disappear. This will result in Chen Feng¡¯s immediate death." Wang Chun shook his head and continued, "I have no idea if actual assassins wille. What I do know is that if you take another step forward, Chen Feng will be in grave danger. Old Chen, kindly stop here."

    Old Chen stared at Wang Chun before ultimately nodding his head. "Fine, I will stay here and protect him from out here, then."

    Since Wang Chun had said all this, if he insisted on stepping forth, there would truly be some problems with him. He could notice that several gazes of some hidden experts had already locked onto him.

    If he continued advancing, they would start suspecting him.

    Ah.

    Old Chen merely sneered before proceeding to sit down cross-legged.

    Right at this moment, a ck-clothed person suddenly appeared from a corner and charged toward Chen Feng.

    "Mhm?!"

    Everyone¡¯s pupils shrunk.

    Assassin? How was that possible? This was the core region of the Gic Union. Unless...

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Before the hidden experts around them could even move, Old Chen took the initiative to intercept that person.

    Did I suspect him wrongly?

    While Wang Chun was thinking about this, he noticed that the two people engaged with each other were fighting while moving at the same time, and they were nearing Chen Feng without anyone noticing. It took them only a short instant to reach the main entrance to the hall.

    Wang Chun¡¯s heart thumped. Not good. "Block them!" he shouted.

    That¡¯s right. Rather than asking for people to stop the ck-clothed person, he was asking to have both of them blocked.

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    One cold gleam after another shed past through the air.

    Countless hidden experts charged out. These were all guardian warriors of the Gic Union that would only appear during moments of absolute importance. For the enemies to fight them at the gate, it was fine for them to stay put. But now that they had even invaded the core region? They were simply courting death!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Several cold rays of light streaked toward the entrance. With their powerful might, both Old Chen and the ck clothed person were intercepted.

    "Stopped!"

    Wang Chun was overjoyed.

    However, rming everyone there, right at this moment, one of the guardian warriors did not stop upon reaching the entrance. Instead, he charged right into the hall.

    What?

    Everyone¡¯s heart jolted furiously.

    "Careful!"

    Wang Chun¡¯s expression changed greatly. Who would have expected that one of the guardian warriors was a spy as well?

    Unfortunately, they had realized this toote.

    Pu!

    Blood sttered around.

    Right after that, the curse attacks that had for a long time been blocked started descending, and theynded on Chen Feng¡¯s body at the same time. At this instant, an intense radiance gleamed dazzlingly.

    Pu!

    Chen Feng¡¯s body copsed onto the ground.

    With a stab right through his heart and a myriad of curses on him, no one would be able to resurrect him.

    A shout could be heard. "Where are you running?"

    Shua!

    An evenrger amount of guardian warriors appeared.

    Old Chen, the ck-clothed person, and that traitor guardian warrior were instantly surrounded. They had serene expressions on their faces. From the moment they had exposed their cover, they had been aware of the fate awaiting them.

    Since the mission had already beenpleted, they had no fear.

    "All three dark seeds were lost."

    Chang Luguo¡¯s heart ached when he received the information.

    All three of them were among the highest tier of dark seeds they had. Two of them were A-ss warriors, while the third had already gotten into the ranks of the Gic Union¡¯s guardians. Although hisbat power wasn¡¯t too powerfulparatively, the amount of trust ced in him by the Gic Union was apparent.

    For this one mission...

    Sigh.

    "Was killing a single Chen Feng worth this sacrifice?"

    Ji Feng sneered. "It¡¯s worth it! You are not aware of the true value of this Chen Feng. A person our leader personally requested be killed at all costs is definitely a person that we need to kill at all costs."

    Chang Luguo nodded his head. "Understood."

    It had been truly difficult. Fortunately, their mission had finally beenpleted.

    "Prepare to retreat," Ji Feng ordered calmly.

    However, just as they were about to retreat, they had an odd feeling. Immediately, they turned around to look at the scene broadcast on their screen, the scenes of the hall that were being sent over to them by the three spies.

    There, it could be seen that Chen Feng¡¯s corpse had transformed into countless light particles as they dispersed all over.

    "This is..."

    Ji Feng had an ominous feeling.

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Ka!

    At the spot Chen Feng was at, in the center of all those seals¡ªthe spot where he had been killed¡ªan endless faint radiance was dispersing around.

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    Everyone was rmed.

    Peril Rebirth? That was not possible. They had prepared countermeasures against every single ability Chen Feng had ever used publicly. Numerous killing curses, poisons, seals, slowdowns, types of damage...

    With the numerous types of curses, it had surely been sufficient to prevent Chen Feng from using any of his abilities. In order to kill Chen Feng, they had made preparations for all this.

    However...

    Ji Feng was furious. "What is going on?"

    They had already paid way too much to kill Chen Feng. This bizarre scene he was witnessing was truly giving him a fright. What on earth was going on?

    No one knew the answer to that question. Was Chen Feng dead for real?

    Ji Feng fixed his gaze on the screen. In the hall of the Gic Union, regardless of friend or foe, everyone was staring at the dispersing Chen Feng with a stupefied expression. Even the warriors of the Gic Union appeared bewildered at this scene.

    Suddenly, Ji Feng thought of a possibility. This radiance... could it be... No! Impossible! He gulped. He obviously...

    Ka!

    A crisp sound could be heard.

    Ji Feng raised his head to look, and his heart immediately chilled.

    In the center of the hall, at the spot Chen Feng was at, the ground below opened like a trap door. A tform appeared from underground. On it were a man and woman. Astonishingly, these two were Chen Feng and Shen Yi.

    Ji Feng was ashen faced. "So my guess was correct."

    Substitute!

    Chen Feng had used a substitute! They had clearly taken this scenario into consideration and had prepared ordingly as well. How was it possible...

    The traitor guardian warrior was rmed. "You?!"

    Alive? How was that possible?!

    "This is not possible! We scouted your location beforehand. The coordinates were correct as well. How is it possible that you..."

    They were rmed.

    Chen Feng was all smiles as he replied, "Yes. The coordinates were correct. I merely reduced the altitude by one meter. Mhm... for you guys who are using super-long-range killing curses from over millions of kilometers away, this one meter difference in altitude isn¡¯t particrly noticeable, right?"

    He stared at Chen Feng. "That¡¯s impossible! Even if the person above ground was your substitute and had the same aura as you, your true body was underground. As such, two auras should have been detected! Even an A-ss expert could not have escaped our detection! It is not possible for our scouting department to have been wrong!"

    Chen Feng merelyughed. "Hehe."

    Detection? Scanning his aura?

    Mhm.

    That was indeed feasible.

    An expert with such a detection ability would not have muchbat power. However, such an expert was someone none could hide from. This was also the basis of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s confidence.

    But now... they had never expected that there existed someone actually capable of escaping that expert¡¯s detection. Especially not Chen Feng! He was a mere C ss! Under normal circumstances, a C ss would never be able to escape their detection!

    Chen Feng thanked the Shen Yi beside him, "Thanks."

    "Don¡¯t worry," Shen Yi replied with a happy smile. As far as she was concerned, this wasn¡¯t anything major. Those scouts were truly powerful. If they had been nearby, the present Shen Yi would have simply been too weak to escape their detection. But since they had been so far away... Shen Yi had still been able to hide from them using her concealment abilities from a different world.

    As her mission was nowpleted, Shen Yi bounced vivaciously toward Wang Chun.

    Wang Chun: "..."

    Yes, she had only been doing Chen Feng a favor. But then, Chen Feng and Shen Yi had still stayed together in a narrow room for over half an hour...

    Mhm...

    His head felt somewhat green.

    Currently.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The furious Gic Union erupted. As for the traitor guardian warrior, he was the target of anger from all the other guardian warriors. A bunch of them appeared at once, and instantly, the battle was concluded.

    The battle thus ended.

    In a different part of the world, Ji Feng was witnessing all this with a nk expression.

    Shua!

    Their dark seeds had been killed, and the broadcast had stopped as well.

    It was over.

    Ji Feng shut his eyes bitterly.

    It had been within their expectations for the dark seeds to be captured. They had initially nned to kill Chen Feng as a sort of trade using their dark seeds. Unexpectedly, even after sacrificing three dark seeds, Chen Feng was still alive.

    Currently, rming everyone was the full deployment of the guardian warriors that had previously only been guarding the inner region of the Gic Union toward the frontline, perhaps due to their anger at the betrayal of one of them. As a result, the Mysterious Organization¡¯s A-ss warriors that had initially been attacking halfheartedly suffered grave losses. Only a few of them were able to escape alive.

    Their mission concluded with a failure.

    Ji Feng started calcting their gains and losses.

    Twelve A-ss experts, a huge amount of manpower, a huge amount of funds, and three dark seeds. After paying such a high price, not a single hair on Chen Feng¡¯s head had been injured. One had to know that Chen Feng was a mere C ss! He had not understood the reason his organization had insisted on killing Chen Feng previously. Now, though, he firmly believed that Chen Feng had to be gotten rid of! This person was too much of a freak!

    The initial sh of might had been transformed by Chen Feng into a trade war. All sorts of methods had been used by the Mysterious Organization to ensure that the Gic Union would not be able to assist Chen Feng. However, regardless of their many preparations, they had still fallen for Chen Feng¡¯s tricks.

    Ji Feng opened his eyes slowly. "Chen Feng..."

    "Boss?" Chang Luguo probed cautiously. "Shall we return?"

    Ji Feng inhaled deeply and said, "We can no longer return. Pack up and leave."

    "Ah?" Chang Luguo was at loss. If they weren¡¯t returning, where would they be going?

    "Chen Feng is still alive, whereas we suffered great losses during this mission." Ji Feng inhaled deeply. "Have you not imagined what will happen to us when we go back? The only thing we can do is put everything on the line and go there personally to kill Chen Feng."

    Chang Luguo widened his eyes. "Us?"

    Ji Feng smiled bitterly. "There are no other options left. If Chen Feng remains alive, we cannot return either."

    Chang Luguo¡¯s heart shivered. True. They had suffered too great a loss in this mission. Could the two of them bear the me? They would only be able to return to the organization after they had killed Chen Feng.

    Ji Feng stared deeply at the information on their screens. "Let¡¯s go."

    Chen Feng... we will meet soon!

    Shua!

    Soon, their figures could no longer be seen.

    Presently, the Gic Union was cleaning up the battlefield.

    With the guardian warriors¡¯ deployment, all the attacks was ended in a short amount of time. As for the killing curses, they couldn¡¯t aplish much when facing Deep Blue¡¯s Sea.

    Finally, the one hour duration was over. The failure of the Mysterious Killing Command rmed everyone.

    "It actually failed..."

    "Even this failed to kill Chen Feng?"

    Everyone was shocked.

    One had to remember that the Ye Zhongchu that had been killed previously had also been a genius of the Ye family and an A ss himself. Even he had failed to avoid getting killed.

    This time, the Mysterious Organization¡¯s attack had been even more powerful than the previous attack. A huge amount of funds had been exhausted. Even their dark seeds had been deployed. As a result? Chen Feng hadn¡¯t been hurt in the slightest bit. How could this feat not astonish everyone?

    "Good, good, good." After receiving the update, Hou Liang was so overjoyed that the smile on his face was as wide as a sunflower. "This kid. Hehe."

    Hou Liang felt extremely gratified. With Chen Feng¡¯s feat, this whole incident had instead transformed into another one of Chen Feng¡¯s contributions, as this was the very first time they had managed to kill so many experts of the Mysterious Organization.

    This was a huge victory!

    "Get Chen Feng here. This time, we need to reward him properly," Hou Liang ordered.

    His subordinate felt somewhat awkward. "Erm... He already left a short while ago."

    Hou Liang widened his eyes. "Left? It is too dangerous for him to leave now! Has he gone crazy?"

    Presently, Chen Feng had already left the Gic Union with Wang Chun.

    Before his eyes was the world of Luck Aura. Endless amounts of data swirled around without stop and numerous coordinates popped out without stop. Finally, everythingbined to form a mobile line.

    "Here you are..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s mouth curled up, forming a smile.

 Chapter 316: Data Storage Methods

    Chapter 316: Data Storage Methods

    One point of luck value exhausted.

    One point of luck value exhausted.

    ...

    Chen Feng looked at his constantly reducing luck value. Before his eyes, the lines in his Luck Aura-generated illusory world became distinct as the coordinates merged with his illusory world.

    The point of origin for these lines was the initial location of the squad that was in charge of this Mysterious Killing Command. The lines represented the current location of the squad. At every passing moment, their movements were clearly indicated to Chen Feng. Surprising him, the squad had actually not returned to the Mysterious Organization. The line representing them could be seen taking a big turn before reaching a ce Chen Feng was extremely familiar with: Clear City.

    "Why are you..."

    Just as Chen Feng was about to get confused, he came to himself. That was the route that one had to take when returning to the Gene Production Association from the Gic Union.

    Those guys were nning to personally make a move on Chen Feng!

    Everyone believed that these people would return gloomily after failing this mission. Outside of everyone¡¯s expectations, they¡¯d still had this choice of action hidden away! They were indeed worthy of being members of the Mysterious Organization.

    "Why..."

    Chen Feng thought about it and abruptly inhaled a mouthful of cold breath. Rather than implementing the next step of their ns, it was probable that these guys no longer had any other options. By slightly altering his line of though, Chen Feng was able to have an urate guess as to their current situation.

    Since they had no other options, they had no choice but to kill Chen Feng themselves.

    That was the scariest part of all this.

    If it was a normal assassin, even if he was an A ss, Chen Feng only needed to hide for a certain amount of time and the enemy would be at his end. This was also the reason the Mysterious Organization had failed to kill him time and again. Apart from certain unique circumstances where he had to leave, he would normally spend all his time being a nerd at Star City. Even if they wanted to kill him, they would have no way to do so.

    Following Chen Feng all the time? It wasn¡¯t worth it.

    But now, if there were individuals that also happened to be A-ss experts and who had nothing else to do besides their sole mission of killing Chen Feng, this was an enemy that could remain hidden, waiting for Chen Feng for one month, two months, or even longer.

    How should he guard against such a terrifying enemy? Would he be able to guard against this enemy? Just the thought of this chilled Chen Feng¡¯s heart.

    The sharp Wang Chun was able to notice the somewhat off expression on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "What¡¯s the matter?"

    "Nothing major." Chen Feng gave him a rough exnation of what was happening.

    Wang Chun rolled his eyes. "Nothing major?" Was this truly nothing major? He shook his head. "Just get the Gic Union to escort you back. Granted, by moving independently, they will be able to move faster. However, you only need to have two or three A-ss warriors protecting you. They will not be able to do anything against you then."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Bro, do you think it is so easy to find an A ss? And getting one to be a bodyguard on top of that?

    The reason these A-ss experts had came out previously was due to them wanting to make use of this Mysterious Killing Command to kill some enemies. Under normal circumstances, for an ordinary Gic Union member to get an A-ss expert as a bodyguard, a corresponding benefit needed to be offered.

    Wang Chun curled his lips. "You are rich anyway. What are you afraid of?"

    He was clear that it might appear like Chen Feng had spent a lot to protect himself this time, but in truth, Chen Feng had actually profited.

    Chen Feng felt helpless. "How could things be that simple?"

    A-ss experts were not so easy to invite. They were also not people who could be enticed with money alone. Moreover, having their protection one time would be sufficient. Two times? Three times? He couldn¡¯t invite some A-ss experts to protect him every time he needed to leave town, right? That would be too luxurious a treatment!

    If so...

    "Seems like I can only do that." Chen Feng sighed and continued, "I truly didn¡¯t want to do this."

    Wang Chun was amazed. "What are you doing?" Even in such an impasse, Chen Feng had a method to deal with it?

    Chen Feng smiled profoundly. "You will know soon enough."

    Noiselessly, they reached the initial location of the squad in charge of this Mysterious Killing Command. Unsurprisingly, to avoid giving intelligence to the Gic Union, all the items here had already been moved away. The only thing left here was an abandoned factory.

    Within were a huge amount of discarded or destroyed items. A huge amount of destroyed data storage items were piled up together. Repairing these data storage items alone was already something that would require more than 10 years, and that was with the premise that data restoration wasn¡¯t taken into consideration. Chen Feng attempted to turn them on, but the only response he received was a session of "Invalid" notifications.

    "All the data was mixed up?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s head ached.

    This was the standard method of damaging data.

    For data storage items, simple methods such as breaking them or even burning them had a risk of these items being restored using some restoration-rted ability to fully repair them.

    These abilities were impossible to guard against.

    As such, to protect against data leakage, the data would be mixed up. The so-called "mixed up" method was a method one would not be able to do anything against. That was because when using this method, the actual data storage items were not damaged. As such, there was nothing for the restoration-rted abilities to restore.

    Even if they were scanned using recovery tools, the result would indicate no damage to these data storage items.

    All abilities were ineffective against this method.

    The only method capable of rendering this method ineffective was a time-rted ability. Only using time-rted abilities to restore the data storage item to an earlier point would work.

    However, as far as the public was concerned, this was something nobody could aplish. As such, this method of mixing up the data was a wless n on paper.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng recalled the youngdy he had met when he¡¯d travel back in time. If he recalled correctly, the ability of that youngdy was time-rted as well.

    Chen Feng shook his head. What are you thinking about?

    Shua!

    He turned another data storage item on.

    Countless nonsensical code started popping out. Chen Feng inhaled deeply. He did not possess a time-rted ability, but he had Luck Aura at his disposal. Could this seemingly boundless amount of data be restored by his Luck Aura?

    He was looking forward to trying it out.

    "Luck Aura, activate!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was sharp.

    Hum¡ª

    Luck Aura started operating at full power.

    One point of luck value.

    Two points of luck value.

    Three points of luck value.

    ...

    His luck value dropped without stop.

    He had already had quite a low amount of luck value remaining. Now, it dropped even further. Within the data storage item, the chaotic data was now looking somewhat neatpared to its previous condition.

    Shua!

    The screen that was filled with nonsensical code flickered, and several words appeared on it. These words only remained for a short while before the screen flickered and, once again, it was filled with endless nonsensical code. Chen Feng¡¯s luck value had now been fully exhausted.

    With 100 points of luck value, only a fraction of the data had been recovered. Only those few words had been recovered. From this, one could see how effective such a method of data protection was.

    However, despite the fact that Chen Feng¡¯s ability wasn¡¯t particrly effective at solving this nonsensical code, his ability was effective in giving him just the information he required.

    From the few words that flickered past earlier...

    Mission executioner: Ji Feng.

    These few words were sufficient for Chen Feng.

    "Ji Feng..."

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. What a good name.

    Currently, somewhere in Clear City, Ji Feng had just contacted several friends there. They were trying to predict the time and route Chen Feng would take in his trip back to Star City. This would be his only chance. As such, he had to ensure Chen Feng¡¯s death.

    "Are you sure?"

    "Yes."

    "Good, if this is the time...

    Midsentence, the person on the call with him abruptly ended the call.

    Is someone else calling him?

    Ji Feng frowned. After waiting a short while, he tried calling his friend again. Surprisingly, though, his friend¡¯smunication tool was no longer turned on.

    H turned off themunication tool?

    Ji Feng had a bewildered expression.

    Are you kidding me?

    In this era, where the wristband was used as themunication tool, nobody would actually bother turning theirmunication tool off.

    As such, the only reason he would fail to call his friend was him being cklisted by his friend.

    cklisted?

    That person was a friend that had gone on several missions with him in the past. Granted, they had not been particrly close friends, but they could have been considered as being in the same boat. Why had his friend cklisted suddenly him?

    After thinking about it, Ji Feng tried calling a different friend of his. However, this friend¡¯smunication tool was turned off as well.

    cklisted again?

    "Something seems off."

    Ji Feng tried contacting all his friends, yet...

    Turned off!

    Turned off!

    Turned off!

    Only a single call went through. However, the response he received was "look out for yourself" before the call ended. When Ji Feng tried re-calling the same person, the call went unanswered.

    "What happened?"

    Ji Feng frowned.

    Right at this moment, Chang Luguo charged into the room hurriedly. "Boss, something happened!"

    Ji Feng¡¯s heart throbbed.

    "What?" Chang Luguo showed his screen to Ji Feng. After looking at it, Ji Feng was so furious he almost spat blood on the spot as he shouted, "Chen Feng, screw you!!!"

    Chapter 317: Not Meeting Him Anymore in This Life

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At a certain location covered by a dark smog, several ck-clothed silhouettes could be seen. Their appearance couldn¡¯t be seen clearly, but from the aura that they were emitting, it was clear that these were no ordinary people.

    "The Mysterious Killing Command has actually failed."

    "The assassination efforts on Chen Feng have never stopped. Due to the previous incident with Wang Yao, new assassination missions were issued for Chen Feng almost daily. However, his vignce is excessively high. Even when A-ss experts were dispatched as the assassins, they would end up discovered for no apparent reason. Ultimately, they could only give up and fail the mission."

    "Is it that hard?"

    Some did not believe it.

    "Senior Soul tried killing him twice before only to end up having his clones killed. What do you think?"

    "..."

    Instantly, they sunk into silence.

    Senior Soul? They were clear on the strength of that senior. A mere clone of his was already a peak A ss. Someone with such strength had actually...

    Chen Feng was indeed a person they needed to attach importance to.

    "Summon Ji Feng back, then."

    "All right."

    "I know how Ji Feng is. He is too stubborn a person. With this happening, he will definitely go to personally kill Chen Feng. From what we know presently, it is simply too dangerous for him to do that."

    "True."

    "Remember, we must absolutely not treat Chen Feng as an ordinary gic warrior."

    "Yes."

    They finished their discussion.

    Right at this moment, the wristband of one of them buzzed. He nced at it and shared the transmission with the rest before he said, "I¡¯m afraid Ji Feng will no longer be able to return."

    "What?"

    As the others saw the transmission, they sunk into silence.

    This message...

    "I know Ji Feng well. We can¡¯t trust this message," someone said.

    That person asked, "Yes, you know him. But what about the others? Moreover, with this happening, does Ji Feng still have the guts to even return? Even if he returns, would anyone dare to actually trust him?"

    "This..."

    Their hearts jolted.

    They knew that this was probably the end of Ji Feng.

    That Chen Feng was most certainly the person pulling the strings behind this as well. When they once again recalled the content of their discussion about Chen Feng, suddenly, they felt that the threat posed by Chen Feng was above even that of Wang Yao!

    ***

    Currently, at Clear City, the pale Ji Feng was staring at the screen in front of him.

    Was it hard to kill Chen Feng?

    It was hard. It was extremely hard.

    Chen Feng wasn¡¯t particrly strong. However, his way of handling things was incredibly peculiar. Ji Feng had read the information pertaining to Chen Feng as well. When he had seen the information regarding the Ice River, the Frozen Sea, and the Nether Capital incidents and the way in which all those A-ss experts had been led to their death due to Chen Feng¡¯s tricks, he had be certain that Chen Feng was definitely a freakish existence. As such, before setting forth for this mission, he had prepared sufficiently.

    This was his final gamble!

    He would have to seed or die trying, as this was his only option. If he were to die, so be it. There was nothing scary about death anyway. He had been prepared for death for several decades now anyway.

    However, it seemed that Chen Feng would not even give him this one chance.

    Ji Feng nked as he stared at the announcement on his screen for a long time.

    Chang Luguo had a pale expression as well. "This... the higher ups won¡¯t believe this, right?"

    "What if you were one of the higher ups?" Ji Feng asked with a grudging gaze.

    Chang Luguo sunk into silence.

    On the screen was an official announcement from the Gene Production Association. "We extend our thanks to Ji Feng for working with us during this assassination mission, contributing to us greatly. As such, we hereby announce that a special exception has been made to appoint Ji Feng as an honorary elder of the Gene Production Association. As an honorary elder, he will be qualified to participate in our management and vote for key decisions."

    Working with us...

    Great contribution...

    Honorary elder...

    Ji Feng¡¯s legs weakened and he almost slumped down then and there.

    "He announced this on the inte?" Ji Feng asked through clenched teeth.

    Looking at the choice of words and the tone of the announcement, he did not even need to expend any effort to deduce that this was the work of that Chen Feng!

    Chang Luguo shook his head. "No. He only sent this to their inner members."

    "That¡¯s good, then." Ji Feng instinctively breathed out in relief before immediately feeling that something wasn¡¯t right.

    Only sent to their inner members? Did that not mean that this was now internal information only avable to their own people?

    Ji Feng¡¯s heart jolted ferociously. "It¡¯s over."

    If Chen Feng had announced this on the inte, that would not be too bad. It would pose him some trouble, but he would only have needed to say that this was Chen Feng¡¯s attempt at sowing dissent among their ranks¡ªthat would have been sufficient. But now that Chen Feng had only announced this to their internal members, it was obvious that this act of only releasing this announcement to the internal members was an attempt at "protecting Ji Feng" cum an announcement of "Ji Feng¡¯s new authority" to their internal members. What did this signify? For the Mysterious Organization, this signified that the Gene Production Association was truly preparing to appoint Ji Feng as their honorary elder. As for the Mysterious Organization¡¯s source of information? Of course it was their spies!

    Nowadays, every organization had some spies nted in other organizations. Since even Chang Luguo and Ji Feng had received this "internal announcement," naturally, the Mysterious Organization had received it as well.

    What should he do moving forward, then?

    Chang Luguo: "..."

    Ji Feng: "..."

    They exchanged nces. In their hearts, only indescribable grief could be felt. This was too freaking excessive! They were both warriors! A-ss warriors! Yet they had ended up crucified by Chen Feng before they could even do anything! The initial Deep Blue¡¯s Sea, the anti¨CDeep Blue¡¯s Sea gene reagent, and thistest incident, they had been tricked by Chen Feng all along! Ji Feng¡¯s heart chilled as he thought of all this. Why had everything rted to Chen Feng developed in such a freakish manner?

    He truly couldn¡¯t understand the reason for this.

    "Di¡ª"

    Chang Luguo¡¯smunication tool buzzed suddenly. Instinctively, he turned it on. As he saw the new message, he immediately sunk into silence.

    "Something else happened?" Ji Feng asked weakly.

    "Yes."

    Chang Luguo lowered his head and paused before continuing with a helpless tone, "You have been hung on the wall by Chen Feng."

    Ji Feng: "???"

    "Oh."

    Chang Luguo sighed before sharing the transmission he received to Ji Feng¡¯s screen.

    As Ji Feng¡¯s gazended on it, he sunk into silence. At this point, what else could he say? On the screen, the Gene Production Association¡¯s wall of honor could be seen. A picture of Ji Feng had been found by Chen Feng from an unknown source and been turned into a huge poster and framed in gold before being hung on the wall of honor. He might as well add these words while he was at it: Fully furnished apartment for rent. All utilities covered.

    Wall of honor...

    This was an extremely important thing for the Gene Production Association. Regardless of whether the announcement earlier was believed by the others or not, with his portrait hung on this wall, he knew his fate with the Mysterious Organization. Simrly, they would also hang his portrait on their wall. However, it would be a ck-and-white portrait 1 .

    As far as he was concerned, one single misstep had caused everything he had done since to be wrong as well. From the start, him epting this assassination mission had been a mistake in itself. If he were given a second chance, he would definitely distance himself from anything rted to Chen Feng and would absolutely not have anything to do with him.

    Chang Luguo had a bewildered expression. "What should we do now?"

    It was no longer possible for them to return to the Mysterious Organization. They were clear on how skeptical of others the people in the Mysterious Organization were. With their current circumstances, if they chose to return, they would only end up dead.

    Ji Feng raised his head helplessly. "..."

    What could he do? He felt extremely helpless.

    After a long while, he recovered some of his spirits and said, "Let¡¯s go."

    Chang Luguo nked. "Go?"

    Ji Feng stared ahead. "Go. At the very least, we are still A-ss warriors. We will at least be able to continue to stay alive.

    He stood up.

    Chang Luguo pointed at the screen cautiously. "What about the higher ups..."

    Pa!

    Ji Feng pped him and said, "You actually buy into this? Honorary elder? Honorary elder my ass. Do you believe that if you go there, a whole bunch of experts will be there waiting?"

    Ji Feng was almost infuriated to death. At times like this, Chang Luguo was thinking of actually going to the Gene Production Association? Wasn¡¯t that stupid?

    Chang Luguo felt discouraged. "Oh."

    "Go!"

    The furious Ji Feng dragged Chang Luguo along as they left.

    He clenched his teeth and proceeded to say some fierce-sounding words, "Chen Feng, this grudge between us, sooner orter..." Shortly after, though, he recalled how freakish Chen Feng was and was immediately horrified and said, "I think it¡¯s better if we don¡¯t meet in the future after all. I hope that we will never meet! Even in our next lives, I don¡¯t want to meet you anymore."

    Chapter 318: Mobile Humanoid ATM

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At Star City, Chen Feng was sticking posters everywhere in an absolutely unrestrained manner. Apart from the wall of honor, the portrait of Ji Feng could also be seen at every corner of Star City. The poster was highlighting Ji Feng¡¯s new identity as a Gene Production Association honorary elder.

    As for the producers in Star City, they all came out to check out what was happening. Some understood what Chen Feng was scheming, some did not. No matter what, due to Chen Feng¡¯s unique identity, no one dared to forbid him from doing this. However, they couldn¡¯t resist talking about this privately.

    "Is he treating Star City as his own house?"

    "Chen Feng is a mere excellent producer himself. How is he qualified to appoint an honorary elder?"

    "I have no idea. However, he managed to get the approval from the higher ups for this."

    "Has the Gene Production Association gone crazy?"

    They could not understand what was going on.

    However, there were also some who understood what was going on and started responding to them. That guy suddenly said, "What do you guys know? Do you have any idea how much the Gic Union has profited this time? Have you any idea how many of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s members perished this time? This is an extremely major contribution. More importantly... are you aware of how rich Chen Feng actually is?"

    "Ah?"

    Everyone else was dumbfounded. How did this rte to money?

    That person coughed before continuing, "I heard that, during this incident, Chen Feng earned a huge amount of profit, surpassing 100 million. All the money was directly given to the Gene Production Association to construct their defense system. Think about it. With this amount of money, do you think that the association would actually reject a request of his? The current Chen Feng is simply akin to a mobile ATM..."

    At this, everyone was enlightened.

    There was also other behind-the-scenes information that was not mentioned by this person. For example, that so-called "honorary elder" Ji Feng did not even have the guts toe here. These grassroots-level producers only needed to know certain information and that would be sufficient.

    As of now, Chen Feng had finally gotten the time to take a rest. It had been several days since the end of the Nether Capital incident till now, yet he had not gotten a lot of opportunity to rest. Instead, the majority of his time had been spent preparing for all sorts of matters, such as the sale of heaven-dazzling gene reagents, using his identity to obtain a loan, etc.

    That¡¯s right. During the time when he had still been under the protection of Gene Production Association, he had taken a huge loan. That was what he had used to purchase the huge amount of Deep Blue¡¯s Sea gene reagents.

    As for the money he had earned from the sale of heaven dazzling gene reagent? He had spent those on buying the gene reagents that could be used to counter Deep Blue¡¯s Sea gene reagent. This was to ensure that his n would proceed smoothly.

    All this may have appeared simple, but he had been under immense pressure. Only a single problem needed to ur on either one of the steps in his n and he would most certainly have ended up dead.

    Therefore, from the start of the Mysterious Killing Command, he had been calcting his luck value usage to ensure that at least 100 points of luck value remained at all times so as to guarantee the wless implementation of his n.

    Fortunately, everything had progressed smoothly. Moreover, he had even sessfully "converted" the cute Ji Feng from the evil side. Chen Feng felt extremely gratified with this achievement of his.

    Naturally, Ms. Shen Yi¡¯s help had also been crucial in ensuring the sess of his n. Despite her currently weak strength, her unique aura-concealment ability from a different world was extremely effective in certain circumstances. When dealing with the long-range curses and when he was being hunted by Ji Feng, her ability had proved helpful. Without Shen Yi, Chen Feng¡¯s aura would have been discovered by the enemy long ago.

    To thank her, he had invited her for a meal together. For an unknown reason, though, Wang Chun¡¯s expression had been somewhat off when that happened. Mhm, Wang Chun had probably been too tired due to being too busy recently.

    Chen Feng stretched his bodyzily. "Finally, I can take a good rest."

    He slumped down onto his bed and the night passed. The next day, when he woke up, he was reinvigorated, as the umted exhaustion from the past few days was all gone. He was once again as spirited as he was previously.

    Afternoon that day, Wu Hui returned to Star City.

    Wu Hui greeted Chen Feng respectfully. "Master."

    "You kid..." Chen Fengughed as he shook his head. After the previous incident, Wu Hui had proimed Chen Feng as his master. Chen Feng had tried correcting him several times, yet Wu Hui had persisted. After a while, Chen Feng had gotten used to it and had decided to just ept this kid as his disciple.

    "How was it handled?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Everything progressed smoothly," Wu Hui answered with a stern expression.

    With Chen Feng¡¯s assistance in spreading his fame far and wide, almost all his opponents knew how "terrifying" Wu Hui was. On top of that, he had also prepared a script, as Chen Feng had advised. From then on, every single time he was about to make a move, he would first bber on. As he continued talking, the enemies would start imagining what he said. Next... everything would end as expected thanks to their imaginations.

    In fact, Wu Hui had only spent a single day to settle the matters pertaining to Wu family.

    Chen Feng was somewhat surprised. "One day?"

    "Mhm." Wu Hui smiled in a somewhat embarrassed manner. "It is now the age of information. As such, nearly everyone first researches their opponent¡¯s strength online before a fight. Hence, I decided to directly publicize what I was about to do. I had also learned from the Mysterious Organization¡¯s Mysterious Killing Command and sent out a notification to them before I made my move."

    Chen Feng gasped in admiration. "Not bad." This Wu Hui was quite smart. Doing what Wu Hui had done was actually a somewhat boastful act and would give off one¡¯s own information to one¡¯s opponent before the battle. However, for Wu Hui, doing this would only increase hisbat power. This was because the moment his enemy recognized his strength, everything would be much easier for him to deal with.

    "With this, even those who do not know about me will find out about me quickly as well." Wu Hui scratched his head and, shortly after, continued, "Master, the reason for me spending so much time there was because I encountered something. After dealing with the Wu family, I discovered that there was a mastermind that had been pulling the strings in the dark, messing with the Wu family. Perhaps he had not expected me to deal with the Wu family so speedily. As such, he did not manage to escape in time. I pretended to not notice his real identity and continued my investigation on him." Wu Hui paused and then continued, "I found out that he was conversing with the people from the Mysterious Organization. From their conversation, they seemed to have captured someone recently."

    "Who?" Chen Feng asked curiously.

    "Wang Yao," Wu Hui answered solemnly.

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed greatly. "What?"

    Wang Yao? What joke was that? Her strength...

    "Please wait a moment." Wu Hui transmitted the video he had taken secretly to Chen Feng. After receiving it, Chen Feng yed the video on his screen. On it, that person could be seen discussing with those from the Mysterious Organization about Wang Yao¡¯s capture. The situation seemed to be even graver than what Wu Hui had said. Apparently, the Mysterious Organization¡¯s leader had acted personally to capture Wang Yao this time.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart thumped. "Mysterious Organization¡¯s leader."

    He was sure of how strong Wang Yao was. However, if someone as terrifying as Soul made a move personally...

    At this thought, Chen Feng¡¯s gaze became sharper.

    Suddenly, the scene on the screen trembled, as that person had obviously discovered that something was wrong. He turned around, looking in the direction of the camera before his expression changed greatly and he proceeded to flee frantically.

    "Where is he?" Chen Feng asked.

    Wu Hui smiled bitterly. "I chased after him but failed to capture him." He had never imagined that that guy wouldmit suicide without saying anything.

    "That is natural." Chen Feng did not find that surprising. But Wang Yao...

    Du! Du!

    He tried contacting Wang Yao.

    No answer!

    In truth, he had been in frequent contact with Wang Yao frequently. Naturally, they had only conversed through the screens on their wristbands. As for the content of their conversations, it had mostly been nonsensical things such as a certain female streamer¡¯s job change, some author who publicized his address and started selling des to make a living, and the like. It was truly quite hard to believe that they would actually be talking about these kinds of things.

    It was during these conversations that Chen Feng had noticed that were her strength not taken into consideration, Wang Yao was merely a young girl, a ripe age for these gossips. Although the content of their conversations had been these nonsensical topics, they had quite enjoyed talking about them.

    Every time, before they were about to go out on some missions, they would also inform each other or at least leave a message informing the other. Their rtionship had been developing steadily. This time, though...

    Chen Feng stared at his empty inbox.

    "Something has indeed happened?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart tightened.

    "Is Wang Yao safe at this time?" Chen Feng asked his Luck Aura.

    No response!

    Usually, Luck Aura would have no problem answering such a direct question. This time, though, it had actually failed.

    "Is Wang Yao still alive?"

    No response!

    "Is Wang Yao dead?"

    No response!

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze became sharp. "It has been blocked..." It was Spirit Sea wood! There most certainly had to be some Spirit Sea wood near Wang Yao. That was the only way the Luck Aura could be blocked. Based on the previous information he had, apart from the asional discovery, the only ce where some Spirit Sea wood definitely existed was the Mysterious Organization¡¯s base.

    Wang Yao had actually been captured there! At this moment, Chen Feng¡¯s expression was terrifyingly cold. However, it was also during times like these that his thought process became even clearer than usual.

    Wang Yao...

    Mysterious Organization...

    If he wanted to find her, he had to figure out where the Mysterious Organization was! Regardless of rescuing her, asking for the Gic Union¡¯s help, or doing other things, he had to first figure out the location! However, that person Wu Hui had discovered was already dead. Moreover, for a foot soldier like that, he most probably would only be aware of the location of some branches instead of the main base.

    If so, who else would have the knowledge of their base¡¯s location? After thinking for a bit, Chen Feng recalled that one such person indeed existed: Ji Feng.

    Chapter 319: Run, Fast!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Ji Feng, an A-ss warrior with a calm disposition. He was aparatively stable mission implementer among the other A-ss warriors in the Mysterious Organization. Gic ability: Corrosion.

    This was the information Chen Feng could see at the Gene Production Association. Only the name, picture, and the name of the gic ability were avable. From this, it was evident how stringent Mysterious Organization was with the protection of the information of their members.

    "Corrosion..."

    Chen Feng frowned. What ability was this exactly? Poison? Elementals? Or something else? It was unknown.

    "This won¡¯t do," Chen Feng muttered.

    Although Ji Feng was his target, Chen Feng was clear that Ji Feng himself was a terrifying person. After all, Ji Feng was an A-ss warrior. As such, how should he capture this person?

    Should he invite the people from the Gene Production Association and Gic Union to help him out?

    He absolutely could not do that. He was sure that this might be the best method of capturing Ji Feng, but with their involvement, Ji Feng would most definitely fall into their hands instead of him. He would have no hope of obtaining any news rted to Wang Yao as well. Therefore, he had to do this personally.

    Fortunately, after the Mysterious Killing Command incident, Chen Feng had afortable amount of funds at his disposal and would be able to afford to hire a few A-ss warriors to help him. As for the methods he would to use to invite these A-ss warriors, he would have to rack his brain for some ideas.

    The next day, after locking down on Ji Feng¡¯s location, Chen Feng dispatched the ones he had hired.

    The Ji Feng that had been nning to wander around the pugilistic world with Chang Luguo was suddenly ambushed by three A-ss warriors for no apparent reason. He was immediately beaten up by them, and shortly after, he was covered all over with cuts and bruises.

    This resulted in Ji Feng feeling extreme anger. Just as he was about to rage and erupt in power, those three A-ss warriors retreated noiselessly instead. Ji Feng didn¡¯t even get a chance to erupt.

    Ji Feng: "???"

    What the heck? Is this an assassination? It doesn¡¯t look like it, though.

    If this was truly an assassination, their attacks would have all beenunched with the intent to take his life. However, he had merely been ravaged by them instead of suffering any substantial injuries.

    He looked at Chang Luguo. "Did you offend someone?"

    "Absolutely not!" Chang Luguo swore.

    Ji Feng red at him ferociously. "Hmph!"

    He wiped the bloodstain off his face and held the anger in his heart down before setting off once again. As for the hidden Chen Feng, he had already retreated noiselessly. What he required had already been obtained. From that 10-minute-long fight earlier, almost all of Ji Feng¡¯s abilities had been exposed.

    "Ji Feng. Ability: Corrosion. An A ss with a total of six gic abilities. Five of them are corrosion-rted abilities, and the remaining one is a fusion ability. After all six abilities are fused together, an extremely powerful corrosion ability will be unleashed. Based on the initial forecast, when eruptingpletely, Ji Feng should be able to corrode a whole mountain range."

    As he reached this point, Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled. Corroding a whole mountain range! The f*ck?

    He was merely an implementer of missions that would normally pull the strings from behind the scenes, yet he was so incredibly powerful? It seemed like, nowadays, the purer the type of gic abilities a person chose to fuse with, the more dreadful that person was.

    It was quite evident that Ji Feng was one of those. He had chosen to focus on corrosion-rted abilities to be so terrifying. Even among this single corrosion category, there were actually a myriad of gic abilities. For example, me corrosion, cold corrosion, poison corrosion, acidic corrosion, and so on. Almost every method capable of corroding would be avable for Ji Feng. Moreover, every single one of his corrosion gic ability was alsoparatively powerful. This was how terrifying Ji Feng was.

    He had even reached a point where he was capable of corroding his opponent¡¯s abilities. Even if the opponent was also in A ss, they would only be able to unleash 50% of their power when facing Ji Feng. This was also why the three A sses earlier had only been able to beat Ji Feng up a bit despite their advantage of being the ambushers. If Ji Feng had started raging and ignoring his injuries, he would definitely have been able to deal some damage to all three of them. With him alone against all three of the enemies, he would still have been victorious.

    This was the scary part of these corrosion-rted abilities. Naturally, if that really happened, Ji Feng wouldn¡¯t be much better off in the end despite his victory. If he had a choice, he would definitely not choose to put his life on the line.

    "Corrosion..."

    Chen Feng started studying corrosion-rted abilities. If his guess was correct, there was one particr person who was now immune to the frozen sea and even the Nether Capital¡¯s smog after his body had be peculiar due to his body transformation. Perhaps...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    Currently, within a mountain range near Clear City, Ji Feng and Chang Luguo were moving forward cautiously.

    After the previous ambush, their vignce had heightened. They had not figured out the goal of those three. However, at a ce like Clear City, the appearance of a single A ss was already a world-shattering event. There had to be some extraordinary reason for three of them to have appeared at once.

    Ji Feng advised Chang Luguo, "Be more careful. They might think that we are returning to the Mysterious Organization and are trying to follow us back."

    Chang Luguo¡¯s expression was solemn. "Understood." They could not strike any possibilities off. If those people were truly thinking of following them back to the Mysterious Organization, it was quite possible for those people to decide to kill them instead after finding out that they were not heading there after all. As such, they had to be careful.

    Rustle. Rustle.

    They walked forth cautiously.

    Right at this moment, an aura suddenly appeared from some distance away. Before the neer reached them, his cold voice reached them first.

    "Dear both of you, please stay."

    Ji Feng had an ominous feeling. "Who is it?"

    Chang Luguo¡¯s heart trembled. "They are finally here?" Instinctively, he tried scanning the enemy¡¯s location with his spiritual energy. Instantly, his expression became somewhat odd. That person who was telling them to stay was actually a C-ss gic warrior.

    First, Ji Feng nked. "C ss?" Next, he raged. Nowadays, even a C-ss gic warrior was daring enough to try bullying them?

    Granted, they were both concealing their aura to avoid being discovered by the enemies, resulting in their real strength being hidden. However, it was still enough to anger Ji Feng when a random C ss tried stepping on their heads.

    He had been holding this anger in for way too long.

    Killing intent shed in Ji Feng¡¯s eyes. "Initially, I had not nned to do anything. Hmph. You only have your bad luck to me for this..."

    As far as he was concerned, killing a random weak C ss while escaping wasn¡¯t anything much.

    Shua!

    Ji Feng¡¯s feet flickered. Instinctively, he streaked past all the trees between them and charged toward Chen Feng.

    Chang Luguo shook his head. "What a pitiful guy."

    For this guy to be so blind that he was actually thinking of robbing them, he could only me himself for having a bad luck. Surprising Chang Luguo, though, after his angry boss charged forth, he rushed back hastily after one mere second.

    "???" Chang Luguo was somewhat stupefied. "What¡¯s up?"

    Ji Feng dragged him and started running. "Run, fast."

    Chang Luguo¡¯s heart throbbed. "Someone else is waiting in ambush?"

    "No. There¡¯s only one person there." Ji Feng¡¯s face paled, yet his feet continued running at high speed.

    "Ah?" Chang Luguo was at a loss. Why the heck were they running, then?

    Ji Feng gulped. "Chen Feng."

    He had never even dreamed that he would meet Chen Feng again after a short two days.

    "Chen Feng?"

    Chang Luguo nked for a short moment. Next, he erupted in speed. The weaker him had suddenly surpassed even Ji Feng in speed, running in front of him.

    Ji Feng had a "what the f*ck" expression on his face.

    But at times like this, he couldn¡¯t be bothered with that anymore. The most important thing was to first escape Chen Feng!

    This Chen Feng guy was too freakish. Therefore, they absolutely could not fight him!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Their silhouettes streaked forth among the mountain range. Even when he had been beaten up by the three A-ss warriors previously, Ji Feng had not erupted with his full power. Astonishingly, he had now erupted with his full power just to run from Chen Feng.

    F*ck! Even if I can¡¯t beat you, can¡¯t I run?!

 Chapter 320: Line Horizon

    Chapter 320: Line Horizon

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In Clear City, countless people looked toward the distant mountain range. There, the eruption of an astonishing and powerful aura could be felt. Even from several tens of kilometers away, this aura was still sufficiently powerful to trigger a feeling of reverence in anyone who felt it.

    A ss! That was definitely the power of an A ss!

    "What¡¯s going on over there?"

    They felt anxious. It had been quite a while since they hadst seen an A ss in Clear City. Every single appearance of an A ss was a major event for them.

    "I¡¯m afraid something happened there."

    "Is it some beast?" someone guessed.

    The whole Clear City became anxious. Even the Gic Union¡¯s branch there started preparing for battle. Regardless of what was happening in that distant mountain range, they could not allow Clear City to be affected. They were even prepared to seek reinforcements from headquarters.

    However, unknown to them, the A-ss warrior they were all talking about was currently fleeing frantically in the mountain range, as if he was being chased by some fiend.

    Run, run, run!

    This was the only thought in Ji Feng¡¯s head.

    His powerful A-ss aura spread all around as all the mutated beasts in the vicinity hid in fear. With this, Ji Feng and Chang Luguo¡¯s escape route became even smoother.

    Ten minutes! Only when the enemy¡¯s aura could no longer be felt did they breath out in relief.

    "Have we shaken that guy off?" Chang Luguo asked as he gasped for breath.

    Although he had been dragged all the way by Ji Feng, it had still ced immense stress on his body.

    Ji Feng wasn¡¯t certain. "I guess... so?"

    Presently, they had just traveled out of a forest.

    Theoretically, based on his strength as an A ss, it should have been quite easy to shake off a C ss. However, if the C ss in question was Chen Feng...

    Ji Feng moved backward prudently. "Let me take a look."

    Just 10 seconds after he started moving backward, a familiar head popped out from the woods. "Hey, bro, why are you running so urgently?"

    Ji Feng¡¯s eyes widened. Instantly, his bones chilled. "Chen Feng?!"

    Chen Feng! It was truly Chen Feng! Presently, Chen Feng had just walked out of the woods and was staring at Ji Feng teasingly.

    Ji Feng¡¯s heart thumped furiously. "How is it possible for you to..."

    Chen Feng was indeed a freak. He could even catch up with this speed of running? One had to know that when Ji Feng was erupting with his full power, even A-ss warriors would have difficulty keeping up with him. But this Chen Feng...

    He was most certainly not a mere C ss!

    At this point, Ji Feng was sure that this Chen Feng was definitely some secret weapon of the Gic Union¡¯s. He appeared like a C-ss youth, but in truth, he was some old freak! Such a person existed in their Mysterious Organization as well.

    Ji Feng did not hesitate. "Go!"

    He turned around, dragged Chang Luguo, and once again started running.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Both their silhouettes vanished instantly.

    Chen Feng sighed. "Sigh, can¡¯t we have a proper chat?"

    As that voice drifted into Ji Feng¡¯s ears, his scalp felt numb and he proceeded to run even faster.

    Ten minutes!

    Ji Feng felt like he had even escaped heaven itself. However, he was smarter this time. Instead of stopping, he decided to continue running for 20 more minutes, leaving the border of the Clear City region before stopping.

    This time, Chen Feng shouldn¡¯t have been able to keep up, right?

    Ji Feng breathed out in relief. "Hu¡ª"

    It had been a very long time since he¡¯dst had to flee for his life in such a manner. It had been even longer since a C ss was the one who had caused him to flee for his life.

    Unfortunately, he had only rested for a short while before that familiar voice was once again heard.

    "Hey, bro, waiting for me?"

    Chen Feng?!

    When he heard this voice, Ji Feng¡¯s scalp felt numb. He turned around and saw Chen Feng walking unhurriedly toward them, seemingly not in any sort of rush at all.

    "F*ck!"

    After leaving only this one word behind, Ji Feng started running again. He truly couldn¡¯t understand how was Chen Feng moving so fast.

    Unknown to him, this was merely the beginning. Subsequently, Ji Feng had a taste of what true despair felt like. Regardless of how fast he ran, regardless of how long he continued running, Chen Feng was always following closely behind like his own shadow.

    He would always be there!

    One hour...

    Two hours...

    Finally, Ji Feng lost all hope.

    "Shall we... try fighting him?" Chang Luguo suggested meekly.

    Ji Feng felt powerless to even berate this suggestion. "If we could actually fight him, do you think I would be running?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s past battle records were extremely clear in the information provided to them. Killing Senior Soul¡¯s clone twice and killing A-ss experts numerous times. All these were under the circumstances where Chen Feng was counterattacking after being the one on the receiving end.

    And now, Chen Feng was the one taking the initiative to look for him...

    Hehe... ah...

    He was sure that Chen Feng had most certainly prepared sufficiently. If he chose to turn around and fight Chen Feng, it was no different than seeking death. One could not deny Ji Feng¡¯s intelligence. From the mere information about Chen Feng provided to him, he was able to see how terrifying a person Chen Feng was. Unfortunately for him, since Chen Feng had already made his preparations, would Ji Feng be allowed to escape sessfully?

    Within the mountain range, Ji Feng and Chang Luguo were feeling exhausted from all the running.

    Suddenly, their hearts trembled. "We reached Line Horizon."

    Line Horizon was a ce between the Clear City Mountain Range and a different mountain range. Due to the different attributes of both mountain ranges, a bizarre crack had appeared here. This bizarre crack was the only route connecting both mountain ranges. As for the surroundings of this route, there was nothing but hills.

    Due to the unique attribute of the mountain range and theposition of the rocks here, the mountain and rocks here were incredibly strong. Even an A-ss expert would not be able to break them. As such, to pass through this ce, one could only travel through the small crack between both mountain ranges. This crack was the so-called Line Horizon, a one-way street.

    This was also an opportunity for Ji Feng, as he was the only one who was aware that the indestructible rocks here were coincidentally weak to his corrosion ability!

    His corrosion ability would be able to easily destroy these rocks. As long as they traveled through this Line Horizon before subsequently destroying the rocks and copsing them on the route, Chen Feng would not be able to catch up to them!

    Taking a detour would take him at least two hours!

    Ji Feng regained some of his spirit. "Go!"

    Shua!

    They took wide steps forward. From far away, this well-known Line Horizon appeared like a huge crack on the mountain with countless weeds growing around it.

    However, just as they were preparing to step into the crack, a bald head popped out from within the crack.

    Someone is here?

    Ji Feng immediately panicked.

    Is it Chen Feng? Impossible!

    Although they had failed to shake off Chen Feng, he had always remained behind them. Ji Feng was able to regain his calm quickly, though. He recalled that this was the only route connecting both mountain ranges. As such, it wouldn¡¯t be odd to encounter other adventurers here.

    Moreover, this neer¡¯s strength...

    Ji Feng checked him out and noticed that his strength was merely C ss, nothing to worry about.

    Wait... C ss?

    Suddenly, he had an ominous feeling.

    "Who are you?"

    He dragged Chang Luguo to his back as he asked this, hoping that his guess was wrong. Otherwise...

    Xu Fei greeted them in a bashful manner, "Hi. I was told by that idiotic Chen Feng to stop you here."

    It was indeed Chen Feng!

    Ji Feng¡¯s pupils shrunk. What was this guy nning?

    But then... this Xu Fei¡¯s strength... Chen Feng had actually gotten a C ss to stop him? So Chen Feng believed that any random C ss could step on him now?

    Had Chen Feng gone crazy?

    Ji Feng was furious. "He¡¯s getting a C ss to stop me?"

    "Ah."

    Xu Fei was evidently confused by all this as well. Shortly after, though, he shyly said, "Don¡¯t be too nervous, though. This is also my first time. I have never fought an A ss before."

    Ji Feng: "..."

    Suddenly, he had the urge to beat this damnable bald guy to death.

 Chapter 321: You Old B*stard

    Chapter 321: You Old B*stard

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Xu Fei rubbed his bald head and smiled foolishly before saying, "I am Xu Fei. Please wait a while with me. Everything will be fine when Chen Feng arrives."

    Ji Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Ridiculous."

    Yes, he did not dare to fight Chen Feng, as he feared Chen Feng¡¯s previous achievements. However, this did not signify that any random C ss could talk this way to him. In his world, those below A ss were all bugs. A mere C ss like this?

    Ji Feng was toozy to even talk much to Xu Fei. "Die!"

    Shua!

    A clump of radiance condensed and an A-ss power bloomed.

    Bang!

    Before his eyes, that clump of radiance intensified as the sky dimmed. At this point, the color of everything in the world seemed to fade. Only that clump of radiance remained visible. This was the power of an A ss, the corrosive power of Ji Feng!

    Shua!

    That liquid with a bizarre tinge in front of Ji Feng streaked toward Xu Fei.

    Ji Feng¡¯s cold gazended on Xu Fei¡¯s body, akin to the gaze of a death god. He was aware of how powerful his attack was. This single attack of his was capable of even prating a mountain.

    At this point, he was already dragging Chang Luguo as he prepared to continue moving forward.

    However, after one step forward, he stopped.

    St!

    A crisp sound could be heard.

    That supercorrosive liquid of his had finallynded on Xu Fei¡¯s bald head. Next¡ªuh, nothing else happened next.

    The smile on Xu Fei¡¯s face was no longer there.

    An rmed expression appeared on Ji Feng¡¯s face. "You..."

    He¡¯s fine? Xu Fei is fine?

    That was only an ordinary 4-star secret art he¡¯dunched, but with his present strength, it was as powerful as an A-ss attack. How was it possible for Xu Fei to block that off?

    At the same time, the ashen-faced Xu Fei opposite him was raising his head. He raised his hand and rubbed his bald head. Something sticky could be felt, disgusting him immensely.

    Xu Fei raged. "You dare to spit your mucus on my head?" This was too damn excessive!

    When Chen Feng had told him his opponent would be an A ss whose ability was coincidentally weak against him, Xu Fei had been extremely excited. After all, that was an A ss. He would be able to brag about how he had once defeated an A ss in the future after this. As such, he hade immediately after Chen Feng¡¯s call. Unexpectedly, the ability of this so-called A ss was a mucus-spitting ability?!

    The f*ck?

    "I..." Ji Feng opened his mouth, yet he couldn¡¯t find the words. He remained there with a "what the f*ck" expression on his face.

    His all-powerful corrosion ability had been blocked just like that. Blocked... by a C ss!

    Look at how fine the opponent was. His opponent had suffered absolutely zero damage and had actually mistaken the attack as him spitting mucus? This was truly a humiliation!

    That was corrosive energy he had shot out earlier! Had it been too weak, hence Xu Fei being fine? That had to be it!

    Ji Feng inhaled deeply. Since a 4-star secret art was ineffective against this guy, he might as well use a 5-star secret art instead.

    Shua!

    Ji Feng¡¯s whole body started radiating brightly.

    Bang!

    The air trembled.

    Endless liquid emitting a golden radiating appeared and started swirling in the air. This was a secret artmonly used by Ji Feng. This was also the strongest single-attribute secret art of Ji Feng¡¯s. Although it was merely a 5-star secret art, it was much stronger than even a lot of other 6-star secret arts out there.

    Go!

    Ji Feng flung his attack over.

    St!

    A crisp sound could be heard.

    Ji Feng had an ominous feeling when he heard that sound. A corrosive energy that was working normally would sound like something that was piercing through everything easily. Instead, what he heard was this sound effect of someone spitting out mucus...

    He raised his head, and behold, it was as he had guessed.

    The ashen-faced Xu Fei was getting rid of the sticky liquid on his body.

    "You are spitting mucus on me again!" Xu Fei raged.

    He did not fear this thing. But then, it was truly incredibly disgusting! Moreover, the opponent was truly stronger than him. As such, he couldn¡¯t avoid this "mucus" even if he wanted to.

    Ji Feng: "..."

    That energy he¡¯d unleashed earlier could kill an ordinary person with a single touch. Even A-ss warriors would be terrified of it. As for this guy in front of him, he had blocked the attack twice without an ounce of effort.

    This guy...

    Ji Feng¡¯s expression became solemn.

    He was a veteran of a hundred battles. As such, he had certainly seen people capable of blocking his corrosive energy before. However, this was the first time he had encountered someone so strong against his corrosive energy. He could clearly sense that this guy was truly a C ss! There existed a C ss capable of blocking against an A-ss attack?

    Perhaps it is something akin to Absolute Defense? Ji Feng contemted.

    There existed some defensive abilities that were incredibly powerful and nearly unequaled. However, the ws of such abilities were quite obvious as well. The active duration of those abilities were usually short. They would only stay active for a single short instant.

    He guessed that Xu Fei might possess a simr ability as well.

    Seems like... I can only use that ability, then.

    Ji Feng leaned forward slightly while both his hands started flitting across the air rapidly. The light waves in front of him started trembling as clumps of bizarre liquid started appearing midair.

    Different from all the corrosive abilities he had used previously, his current attack was without any radiance on it. On top of that, this attack did not even have any sort of aura.

    Almost all the energy used to form these clumps of liquid were all perfectly condensed within the liquid, resulting in no leaking radiance or aura. This was the strongest corrosive ability Ji Feng had at this time. This was also the ability he had once used to corrode an entire mountain range, the very 6-star secret art that had granted him his fame. All sorts of defenses became useless against this attack.

    Absolute Defense?

    Hehe.

    You might be able to block an instant of my attack, but can you continue blocking it forever?

    Ji Feng waved his hands. "Goodbye."

    Bang!

    The air trembled as the light waves in front of him started trembling. The clumps of liquid hovering in the air started streaking forth. Each of them contained a terrifying amount of energy, sufficient to corrode everything in existence. This was a power that had almost reached the peak of A ss.

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    The air was filled with the white liquid.

    Chang Luguo had already hidden himself far away from all this. What joke was this? He had once witnessed how terrifying this ability was. As such, he had no desire to be caught up in this attack.

    Shua!

    Almost all the clumps of liquid were tossed over toward Xu Fei.

    Bang!

    The attacks hit their target!

    Pu!

    Pu!

    The anticipated sound effect of something being pierced was nowhere to be heard. Instead, a bizarre sound resounded.

    Ji Feng sneered. "Has it been momentarily blocked?"

    The strength of this ability was its duration. Not only was it strong, its duration was long as well. All sorts of defensive abilities would be reduced to a joke when facing this ability. Even if Xu Fei managed to block it now, how long could he keep it up?

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    A numerous amount of liquid streaked toward Xu Fei.

    However, as time passed, Ji Feng¡¯s heart chilled. Even toward the end, that sound of something being pierced through couldn¡¯t be heard.

    Rather...

    Pu!

    As the final attacknded, Ji Feng raised his head, and his heart trembled at what he saw.

    In front of him, a huge portion of Xu Fei seemed to have been corroded, as his upper body was covered by the liquid. As Ji Feng¡¯s attacks had been concentrated on his upper body, it was normal for Xu Fei¡¯s lower body to still be intact. However...

    "Is he dead?" Ji Feng asked anxiously.

    Next, he saw Xu Fei¡¯s hand rise stiffly before rubbing his face, revealing that familiar ashenplexion that was ring at Ji Feng.

    "You! Dare! To! Spit! On! My! Face!" Xu Fei raged.

    Ji Feng was rmed. "You are fine?!"

    He had finally understood the source of the "pu" sounds he had been hearing earlier. Those had been the sound of his attacksnding on Xu Fei¡¯s body. In other words, from the start, Xu Fei had been blocking the corrosive energy with his very flesh!

    There hadn¡¯t been any defensive abilities at all! This guy here...

    Ji Feng was horrified. "Who on earth are you?"

    "I¡¯m your grandfather!"

    The furious Xu Fei started charging toward Ji Feng. When it came to energy control, he was indeedckingpared to Ji Feng. As such, he had no way of avoiding Ji Feng¡¯s attacks. However, when it came to a purely physical battle, hehehehe...

    Bang!

    Instantly, Ji Feng was struck down onto the ground by Xu Fei.

    "You dare..."

    Pu!

    Pu!

    Xu Fei¡¯s punches rained down without stop.

    Chang Luguo was watching all this with a dumbstruck expression. His boss, that imposing A-ss expert, was actually being beaten like a dog by this C ss. Only now did he know that even a C ss could beat up an A ss.

    Chen Feng was not the only one capable of such a feat. Even the people he sent...

    ??

    What was going on with the world?

    Chang Luguo was stunned.

 Chapter 322: Loyal

    Chapter 322: Loyal

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At Line Horizon, an extremely tragic battle was progressing. Only when Ji Feng was beaten up by Xu Fei until he started questioning life did he recall that he did not necessarily need to fight Xu Fei here. If he couldn¡¯t beat this Xu Fei, he could always flee.

    Bang!

    With a jolt of his body, the Ji Feng with a bloody nose and swollen face finally broke free of Xu Fei.

    Previously, Xu Fei had only managed to grab onto Ji Feng due to him being in shock and careless. That was the reason he had been stuck there getting beaten by Xu Fei. Now that he had broken off, Xu Fei would no longer have any chance of approaching him.

    The time he¡¯d spent getting entangled with Xu Fei wasn¡¯t long anyway. It had only been around two minutes. However, these short two minutes had been enough to cause him to question life itself.

    Fortunately, he¡¯d finally broken free!

    Shua!

    Ji Feng easily dodged the rest of Xu Fei¡¯s attacks.

    "Go!"

    With an unsightly expression, he dragged Chang Luguo on before proceeding to escape.

    As he was an intelligent person, he was able to see Xu Fei¡¯s weak point in no time. Although Ji Feng¡¯s ability was coincidentally weak against Xu Fei for some unknown reason, this guy was, after all, still a C ss. As long as Ji Feng focused purely on escaping, it was simply impossible for Xu Fei to stop him.

    In other words, Xu Fei would have no effect on his initial n. They had to first leave this ce!

    Chen Feng would probably be here soon anyway. As such, they absolutely had to leave first and block this path. Only with that would it be possible for them to survive this.

    "Ignore him," Ji Feng said coldly. His current expression looked somewhat funny with his bloody nose and swollen face, though.

    Shua!

    Easily, they shook Xu Fei off and started moving toward the Line Horizon. Exceeding all their expectations, though, there was another person standing there waiting for them.

    Ji Feng sunk into a solemn mood. "Who?!"

    He had originally believed that only Chen Feng was the horrifying person. Unexpectedly, even his friends were quite astonishing as well. Now, he no longer dared to look down on anyone sent by Chen Feng.

    When he looked back, he noted that Chen Feng¡¯s ns were extremely thorough. As such, this was definitely not a person he should take lightly.

    The neer was a youth that appeared much younger than Xu Fei. "Hello."

    Mhm...

    He looked more like a child instead.

    When he talked, he was extremely calm and appeared to be one of those extremely polite children. However, the moment Ji Feng¡¯s gazended on this neer, his body stiffened.

    Ji Feng¡¯s heart chilled. It¡¯s him! He has actuallye here!

    Although he had been beaten by Xu Fei earlier, if he was honest about it, the only thing Xu Fei could do was slow them down. After Ji Feng had seen through Xu Fei¡¯s strength, he was no longer effective at this.

    But for this person here...

    Ji Feng said his name. "Wu Hui!"

    Wu Hui nodded calmly. "Yes."

    Ji Feng could only smile bitterly as a response.

    It really is him...

    If one were to name a person who had nted fear in the Mysterious Organization recently, this child would definitely be the one named, because his strength was far too terrifying for his age.

    ording to the information the Mysterious Organization had, Wu Hui was only 14 years old, yet he already possessed a peak A-ssbat power. He had once killed a number of A-ss warriors...

    Furthermore, different from others, the methods of this person when dealing with things were rather radical. Due to that, he had also attracted his own fan base. Every single time he battled, he would record it and put it online. With that, even those who did not know about him would find out about him through the videos online. This person was absolutely a supergenius.

    With a single month, his threat level as perceived by the Mysterious Organization had neared Chen Feng¡¯s and Wang Yao¡¯s. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he had not actually done anything against the Mysterious Organization, the threat level assigned to him would most probably have been even higher than Chen Feng¡¯s.

    This was an extremely terrifying person!

    What is going on with this world?

    Ji Feng started doubting his life. He hadn¡¯t even managed to reach peak A ss even after dedicating 20 years of his life to it.

    Yet in this year itself, two super geniuses had appeared. One was the 13- or 14-year-old Wu Hui, and the other was that little loli Wang Yao. Both of them were peak A sses! When had A ss be so easy to reach?

    Ji Feng inhaled deeply. "You are here to stop me as well?" He deeply wished that this guy was merely passing by here.

    Wu Hui nodded. "Yes."

    "Even if you wanted to keep me here, you must pay some sort of price to do it."

    Ji Feng¡¯s gaze became vicious.

    "I know," Wu Hui said calmly. "There are a total 10 forms in the Cosmic Manifestation. Up until now, I have only unleashed six of them. Perhaps you will be able to make me unleash the seventh form, even if I have to pay some price for it."

    Ji Feng shook his head. "Is this worth it? It¡¯s not worth risking your life against me just for a mission."

    "There¡¯s no mission. I don¡¯t mind even if it¡¯s not worth it." In a serene manner, Wu Hui continued, "Master told me that I will definitely seed."

    Ji Feng¡¯s heart thumped. "Master? Who is your master?"

    "Chen Feng," Wu Hui answered calmly.

    ??

    Ji Feng and Chang Luguo were dumbstruck.

    Wait...

    Chen Feng was actually Wu Hui¡¯s master? The demonic Wu Hui? The master of this peak A-ss guy? Ji Feng and Chang Luguo exchanged nces and felt their world copsing around them.

    After a long time, Ji Feng smiled bitterly.

    Now, the only thing he could do was put his life on the line. No matter what...

    Ji Feng braced himself for death. "Come!"

    Wu Hui stood up. "All right." Surprisingly, he looked at Ji Feng with some sort of admiration. "The seniors of the Mysterious Organization are indeed difficult to deal with. To avoid leaking the information of the Mysterious Organization, they¡¯d rather die. Well, I will try my best in this battle."

    Wu Hui stood up solemnly.

    As for the Ji Feng opposite him, he nked.

    Avoid leaking the information of the Mysterious Organization? Wait... what information?!

    "You guys have not been sent by Chen Feng to kill me?" Ji Feng asked abruptly.

    Wu Hui shook his head. "Of course not. We only wanted to know something. If we really wanted to kill you, wouldn¡¯t it be easier to get the Gic Union to do it instead?"

    So that was the case!

    Ji Feng had a "what the f*ck" expression.

    "Come." Wu Hui started walking toward Ji Feng solemnly, a respectful expression on his face. "Nowadays, people like you are extremely rare. Seeing that you are such a loyal person, I will keep your corpse intact." Wu Hui prepared to start fighting. "Then..."

    Ji Feng raised both his hands without any hesitation. "I surrender!"

    Wu Hui was bewildered. Ah?

    "Surrender," Ji Feng said righteously.

    Since Chen Feng wasn¡¯t here to kill him, there was no point in fighting anymore. After all, if this continued, he would most probably end up killed by Wu Hui! If so, he might as well surrender.

    Ji Feng was calm as he said, "I thought that you guys were here to capture me. Since you are only here for information, I don¡¯t mind."

    "I thought that those in your organization are all..." Wu Hui asked meekly.

    Ji Feng corrected him and righteously said, "Ex-organization! That is my ex-organization. Damn it. These two days when I was being chased, I tried asking for help. However, no one from the organization was willing to help me. Rather, they sent someone to kill me instead. Why would I still want to stay loyal to them? Haha! What do you guys want to know? Anything I know about, I won¡¯t hide it. The location of the Mysterious Organization, the Mysterious Organization¡¯s leader... any of that, it¡¯s not a problem if you want the information. Oh, right, I can even provide some high-level secret information to you. For example, Senior Soul was cuckolded, etc..."

    "Oh, yeah, Senior Soul is not an official member of the Mysterious Organization either. He is actually the apprentice brother of our leader. Haha, if I recall correctly, there are several of them apprentice brothers. This is as much as I know. Oh yeah, spies! Are you interested in the spies of the Mysterious Organization? I know of them as well!"

    Ji Feng was extremely excited that he could actually survive this and, in his fit of excitement, told them all the things he knew. Opposite him, the Wu Hui who had already been prepared for a huge battle was staring at him with a dumbstruck expression. Where¡¯s the so-called loyalty?

 Chapter 323: Wang Yaoâ€™s News

    Chapter 323: Wang Yao¡¯s News

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Events at Line Horizon:

    Ji Feng was terrified. Next, nothing escted. They relinquished their former hatred, and subsequently, a harmonious scene appeared there.

    Ji Feng: "Grab dizhu. Three pair." 1

    Wu Hui said, "Can¡¯t match."

    Xu Fei said, "Can¡¯t match."

    Wu Hui had a bewildered expression. "Bro, you can¡¯t even match a three pair?"

    Xu Fei¡¯s expression darkened. "I only have odd cards. Why don¡¯t you do anything, then?"

    Wu Hui awkwardly replied, "I only have odd cards as well."

    Xu Fei said, "How the heck are we supposed to continue, then?"

    ...

    Ji Feng felt immensely refreshed.

    He couldn¡¯t beat these two in battle, but when it came to things like card games, where experience mattered, he was still able to easily ravage these two youngsters.

    Ji Feng was feeling immensely proud. "Haha, I won. Now, ording to our original bet, if I won 10 rounds in a row, you guys need to tell me how Chen Feng kept up with me."

    Xu Feiughed happily and said, "It¡¯s quite simple. There, he¡¯s here."

    Ji Feng turned his head abruptly. "Mhm?"

    This was something that he had been wondering all this while.

    He could overlook it if only Wu Hui was the strong one. But for Chen Feng to be so strong as well? He was essentially still a C ss. How was it possible for Chen Feng to be able to keep up with him? What ability was it that had enabled a C ss to possess a speed surpassing that of an A ss?

    He truly had no idea.

    However, when he finally got a clear look, he was dumbstruck.

    Above the sky, a noiseless undtion started spreading. An advanced-looking flying blue car appeared noiselessly. It moved at an extremely fast speed and reached them almost instantly before stopping noiselessly in front of them.

    Ji Feng was dumbstruck. "Flying... flying car?"

    Car?? Why was it a flying car?

    Nowadays, as technology progressed, flying cars had advanced quickly as well. A flying car whose specifications were focused purely on speed could reach an extremely astonishing speed.

    However, that was supposed to only be applicable within cities. In actuality, nearly all flying cars in existence were only used within cities, because these ultra-high-speed cars were too fragile. Any random thing would be able to destroy the car together with the driver. The faster the speed, the more miserable the death the driver would suffer.

    As such, nearly all flying-car drivers would not take their cars out of cities, as that was too idiotic an action. This was especially true in locations such as their present mountain range, where mutated beasts were everywhere. Any random spit from a mutated beast would be sufficient to destroy the car.

    As for the defenses of these cars?

    As these cars were capable of moving at too extreme a speed, anything that hit them would deal great damage. Even an A-ss defensive barrier wouldn¡¯t be able to protect the car for more than a few seconds.

    Shua!

    The door opened and Chen Feng walked out of the car.

    Chen Feng had a faint smile. "Are you curious?"

    Ji Feng merely smiled bitterly. It would be weird if he wasn¡¯t curious about this.

    Chen Feng smiled toyingly. "Under normal circumstances, I would most certainly not dare to drive this thing out here, but have you forgotten about how you unleashed your A-ss aura earlier?"

    "Those weak mutated beasts were so frightened that they did not dare to move at all. As for those stronger mutated beasts, they thought that you were provoking them. As such, they were all focusing on chasing after you."

    Ji Feng: "..."

    So Chen Feng had been able to aplish this thanks to him?

    What could he say to this?

    Suddenly, he recalled something that was seemingly not rted to this whole incident. Due to Chen Feng¡¯s way of appearance, he started doubting those as well.

    "A few days ago, there were three A-sses..." Ji Feng started asking.

    Chen Feng was honest. "Oh, those three were sent by me. I earned some profit from the Mysterious Killing Command. As such, I can afford to hire three A sses."

    "..."

    Ji Feng had a "what the f*ck" expression. So the three A-ss warriors that had beaten him up had been hired using the money Chen Feng had scammed from him?

    Suddenly, an indescribable sadness emerged in his heart. Looking at Chen Feng¡¯s calm expression, he was speechless.

    Thinking back, from the start of his conflict with Chen Feng, he had not gained a single upper hand, and that was even under the premise that he was the one who had actually taken the initiative to attack. This Chen Feng was truly...

    Ji Feng stared at this terrifying young person in front of him.

    Wu Hui was indeed a person more talented and stronger than Chen Feng. However, that was only aparison of purebat power. If one truly wanted to kill Wu Hui, one could always flood him with a huge amount of humans. That would still work.

    Rather, a person like Chen Feng was the most dreadful kind of existence. Every single step one took, one would be falling into his traps.

    Ji Feng raised his hands, indicating his surrender, and said, "I truly admit my defeat now. Anything you want to ask, just ask."

    Chen Feng did not bother wasting any time. "Wang Yao. Where is she presently?"

    Ji Feng was bewildered. "Wang Yao? How are we supposed to know? We were always looking for any news rted to Wang Yao as well. We never¡ªwait, Wang Yao... that youngdy..." Ji Feng frowned.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "You have recalled something?"

    "Mhm. Naturally, I do not have any official information rted to Wang Yao. No matter who you ask, even if it were an inner member of the Mysterious Organization, no one would have any updates about Wang Yao. However, I recall that before I came here, I saw four A-ss guys taking a youngdy around 13 or 14 years old to the headquarters." Ji Feng pondered for a bit and continued, "That youngdy... I did not get a clear look at her appearance. However, I recognized the other four guys. Those four were normally extremely arrogant and despotic due to the connections they had. On that day, though, all four of them were injured. On top of that, when taking the youngdy with them, they were still fully armed. They were extremely vignt as well. I was discovered the moment I entered within 100 meters of them. Under normal circumstances, something like that would never happen.

    "There is only one possibility for that. That youngdy was so dangerous that, even after her power was sealed, they did not dare to cken their vignce. In my memories, there is only one person that is so young and strong: Wang Yao!" Ji Feng concluded his observations.

    Her indeed! So... she still ended up captured?

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. For an unknown reason, after confirming that Wang Yao had not gone missing, he was somewhat relieved instead. This world was too dangerous. Compared to getting captured by the Mysterious Organization, dying in some random wilderness was a more terrifying prospect. This was especially true for a person like Wang Yao, who seemed to always have a clear-cut goal and was always working toward that goal.

    But then, had she truly been captured? Chen Feng recalled how Wang Yao had always been unfathomable and had always been able to deal blows to the Mysterious Organization...

    Chen Feng had a resolute gaze. "Seems like I really need to take a trip to the Mysterious Organization this time."

    Right as he was pondering, the Ji Feng beside him started having second thoughts. Since there was only Chen Feng here, if he decided to kill him now...

    He was indeed in conflict with the organization now. However, that was due to some misunderstandings. If he killed Chen Feng now and took his corpse back...

    Ji Feng started weighing his options inwardly.

    He could take this opportunity to kill Chen Feng and flee. Although Wu Hui and Xu Fei were strong, they might not be able to keep up with his speed.

    As his thoughts reached this point, Ji Feng¡¯s killing intent surged.

    However, right at this instant, before he had even done anything, Chen Feng abruptly said, "Will you truly be able to kill me?"

    Ji Feng¡¯s heart throbbed. "What?"

    Only when he raised his head did he notice that, since an unknown point in time, both of Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were already glowing red, flickering with a radiance that caused onlookers¡¯ hearts to palpitate.

 Chapter 324: Too Much of a Bully!

    Chapter 324: Too Much of a Bully!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At a certain location, within the same dark smog, several dark silhouettes appeared.

    "Concerning Ji Feng..."

    "Don¡¯t worry."

    "But he knows a lot of the organization¡¯s secrets."

    "Not a problem. The young and elderly of the Ji family are all still with us. As such, he is aware of what to say and what not to say. It doesn¡¯t matter much if he only leaks some insignificant information."

    "It¡¯s still risky."

    "I will handle it as soon as possible."

    "But then, the priority level we ced on Ji Feng could be somewhat lowered, as it¡¯s already time for us to activate that project."

    "Noted."

    ...

    The silhouettes conversed quietly.

    Currently, Ji Feng was still facing Chen Feng.

    Danger! This was the first time he had felt such a dangerous feeling from a C ss. He was sure that if Chen Feng made his move, he would either be seriously injured or dead. That, coupled with Wu Hui and Xu Fei waiting by the side...

    Without hesitation, he raised his hands and apologized. "I¡¯m sorry."

    He was truly terrified. By the side, Chang Luguo had already lifted a huge stone and prepared to toss it over after seeing Ji Feng about to make a move. However, the sight of Ji Feng raising his hand to apologize stunned him. He remained nk until the gazes of Xu Fei and the restnded on him.

    "Ha! I am merely exercising my arm due to being bored." With an awkward smile that he believed would not lose him his face, he proceeded to lower and lift the stone several times before putting it back down on ground. "You guys can continue."

    After making up an excuse for himself, he stared at his boss with a grudging gaze, hoping that, once again, everyone here would forget about him.

    Everyone: "..."

    Ji Feng: "..."

    Had this guy turned into an idiot due to being lied to too much by Ji Feng?

    Chen Feng looked at Ji Feng indifferently. "Good. I hope that this will be thest time something like this happens."

    "All right."

    This time, Ji Feng was truly terrified. As far as he was concerned, in Chen Feng¡¯s group of three, where Xu Fei was like a main tank and Wu Hui was like a violent DPS, Chen Feng should have been the strategist. As such, his strength should have been rather ordinary. This was also why Ji Feng had started having second thoughts earlier.

    He had never imagined that this guy¡¯sbat power was so off the charts as well. From what he¡¯d felt earlier, this guy had abat power of at least A ss as well. If so, what was the point of him making a move? Chen Feng wasn¡¯t even 20 years old, right? What the heck had these kids eaten when growing up? Hormone injections? Their strength levels were truly too savage!

    He was aware that these few guys here were the type of geniuses that would normally only appear in the legends. However, he couldn¡¯t help but feel like he was no longer able to keep up with the times. As of now, he no longer dared to resist against them.

    Chen Feng merely snorted at his response. "Hmph."

    From the moment he¡¯d met Ji Feng, his Nethergaze had already been activated. He had given this Nethergaze of his a nickname: Bane of bbermouths. This was also the only ability Chen Feng had at this time that was capable of contending against an A ss. Since they had spent so much time talking, Chen Feng¡¯s lock had already beenpleted long ago.

    Resist? That would be akin to courting death. Naturally, it was for the best if Ji Feng knew to be afraid of him.

    Although he was already done locking onto Ji Feng, this guy still possessed a formidablebat power, after all. If Chen Feng had to unleash a Nethergaze against someone at Ji Feng¡¯s level, he would probably need to exhaust every ounce of energy he had to do so.

    "Now, let me know the location of your Mysterious Organization," said Chen Feng.

    Ji Feng stared at Chen Feng in astonishment. "You are truly nning to go?"

    The Mysterious Organization¡¯s headquarters was truly a ce filled with experts. There were more than ten A-ss warriors at his level. Not to mention that there would also be some peak A sses around that were returning to report on their missions. There were also the asional visits of their leader and the management of their organization. For Chen Feng to go there, it was akin tomitting suicide.

    Chen Feng nced at him. "You don¡¯t have to worry about that."

    "Hehe." Ji Fengughed awkwardly and said, "Chen Feng, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to tell you. The problem is, after telling you, you will go there and get yourself captured. At that time, our Ji family will be finished..."

    "Ji family?" Chen Feng was astonished. There was such n as the Ji family?

    Ji Feng smiled bitterly. "Naturally. Why have the members of the Mysterious Organization been so loyal? That is because the members were all chosen from subsidiary families of the Mysterious Organization. An example is the Qin family. If it wasn¡¯t because of you, people like Qin Hai and the others of his generation would already be new members of the Mysterious Organization by now."

    So that¡¯s the case.

    Finally, Chen Feng understood how they worked.

    Ji Fengughed bitterly. "Hence, if anyone is found to be leaking information, their whole family will be affected. If you are asking for some other information, I have no problem telling you, but since you are nning to go to the Mysterious Organization yourself, you will definitely get yourself captured. Those people there are capable of everything. Regardless of the amount of secrets or trump cards you have, there are still countless abilities capable of discovering you. The end result will be all of us dying together," Ji Feng said helplessly.

    "You have such low confidence in me?" said Chen Feng with a faint smile. "Let me prove my ability to you first, then."

    Ji Feng nked. "What?"

    Hum¡ª

    From Chen Feng¡¯s body, an astonishing aura erupted.

    This power...

    Ji Feng¡¯s pupils shrunk.

    "Shh, don¡¯t move." Chen Feng ced both his hands on Ji Feng¡¯s body. Next, a perfectly straight red string appeared from Chen Feng¡¯s hand and streaked into Ji Feng¡¯s body.

    For the first time, an rmed expression appeared on Ji Feng¡¯s face. "What is this?" From this red string, he felt an extremely formidable power. He could clearly feel that the power of this thing here had even reached peak A ss.

    Ji Feng was shocked. The h*ll! This was something released by a C ss!

    The red glow in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes had only been sufficient to put him on alert. On the other hand, this newly appeared thing here gave him a feeling that he would be insta-killed at any time. This was a power that truly belonged to a top expert.

    Chen Feng, who are you, exactly?

    Feeling the red string moving back and forth in his body, Ji Feng did not dare to move even the slightest bit. He was afraid that any carelessness would result in his death.

    After a long time, Chen Feng retrieved that red string in a satisfied manner. Only then did Ji Feng dare to move and start wiping away his cold sweat.

    That was too terrifying! Regardless of who it was, if there was something that was uncontroble yet far stronger than one wandering within one¡¯s body, that person would be in fear as well.

    Ji Feng gulped as he asked, "What is that?"

    Chen Feng indifferently replied, "Divine Draconic Curse. This is a power I inherited from a red dragon I once met identally. Mhm... I can only use it once every three days. Using this, I am able to nt a Divine Draconic Curse in one¡¯s body. Now, the red dragon¡¯s power has already been nted within your body. I am now able to explode your body any time I want."

    Instantly, Ji Feng¡¯s face paled.

    Curse? F*ck!

    As the person in charge of the Mysterious Killing Command¡¯s implementation, he was definitely knowledgeable about all sorts of curses. Granted, he had never heard of this Divine Draconic Curse, probably due to its level being too high, but he had clearly been able to feel the horror of this curse earlier.

    A curse at such a level would be more than sufficient to insta-kill him.

    Chen Feng calmly asked, "Now... I believe you can finally put all your heart into thinking up a solution for me?"

    "Bro!" Ji Feng did not even have the tears to cry. "Anything you ask, I will tell you! But for this matter, it will implicate my whole family..."

    "If so, think of a method that will not implicate them," said Chen Feng with a faint smile. "I am aware that going there directly is equivalent to suicide. That is the reason why I require an old senior like you to think of something for me. After all, you have a much deeper understanding of the Mysterious Organizationpared to me. Since that is so dangerous a ce, wouldn¡¯t it be fine if you provide us protection?"

    Ji Feng: "..."

    So, he needed to even provide them protection?

    Instantly, his head ached immensely. But then, now that his fate was in this person¡¯s hands, he had no choice but to start racking his brain for ideas.

    Method... A method that can allow them to go to the Mysterious Organization without dying. Ji Feng started pulling his hair furiously. What the heck is this? What a freaking bully!

 Chapter 325: Dont You Know?

    Chapter 325: Don¡¯t You Know?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Ji Feng was going crazy. As for Wu Hui and Xu Fei by the side, they had odd expressions as well. They were wondering when had Chen Feng ever possessed such a powerful secret ability like the Divine Draconic Curse.

    Wu Hui looked at Xu Fei. What¡¯s going on?

    Xu Fei rolled his eyes. What else? Based on my previous experience with him, your master is probably tricking this guy here.

    Ah, it¡¯s fake? Wu Hui couldn¡¯t believe it.

    Xu Fei rolled his eyes. Naturally. An ability with so stupid a name is something only he woulde up with. Don¡¯t you know your master¡¯s actual strength? If he was really so strong, would we still need to use such a stupid trick to stop Ji Feng from running?

    Wu Hui did not know whether he shouldugh or cry. "..."

    The only thing your master knows how to do is scam others, signaled Xu Fei to Wu Hui with his eyes, feeling proud at how quick-witted he was. Next, he felt a cold ncend on him from Chen Feng. Instantly, he "shut his mouth."

    Chen Feng felt somewhat helpless. Those two guys... Although those two had been signaling each other andmunicating using their expressions instead of actually talking out loud, could Chen Feng not know what they meant? What had Xu Fei meant by tricking this guy? Could this be considered tricking? The proper term should be "luring." He was luring Ji Feng to the side of justice! That was all.

    As for the Divine Draconic Curse, what, did they believe that any made-up lie would be able to convince Ji Feng? He had clearly felt that terrifying power of Xiao Ying¡¯s! In fact, Xiao Ying did possess this power as well. Within its body was half of Ming Yue¡¯s power. As such, it would be able to easily insta-kill Ji Feng.

    Mhm, the only issue was Xiao Ying not knowing how to make use of that power. But then, a day woulde when it finally learned to use the power. So this shouldn¡¯t be considered tricking, right? Definitely not!

    In any case, it did not matter if those two believed him or not. The important thing was that Chen Feng himself believed this excuse of his. As such, Chen Feng had managed to convince himself that he was not actually tricking Ji Feng.

    Suddenly.

    Ji Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "I got it."

    Shua!

    Several gazesnded on him.

    Ji Feng confidently said, "Recruitment! Recently, the Mysterious Organization has been recruiting. You could pretend to be a member of one of their subsidiary families. With that, it might be possible for you to sneak in there."

    Chen Feng was doubtful. "I thought you said that the Mysterious Organization¡¯s recruitment is strict?"

    Ji Feng was excited. "That was true for the previous recruitments, but those were all normal recruitments. Every time it happened, the testing phase wouldst for more than one year before the recruitment began. This time, though, it¡¯s different. They are mass recruiting this time."

    Chen Feng: "..." The hell, is this a university now? With mass recruitment and all?

    "Had you received anymands about this?" asked Chen Feng.

    Ji Feng shook his head. "Nope, but I am sure that they will be mass recruiting."

    Chen Feng frowned. "Why is that?"

    Ji Feng was powerless to even berate Chen Feng. "Bro, do you even need to ask this? Because of you! Do you have any idea how many people the Mysterious Organization lost during the Mysterious Killing Command? Do you think A sses were the only ones lost? You should understand how a curse works. If it seeds, fine. If it fails, what do you think will happen?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "Bacsh?"

    Ji Feng nodded. "Yes, bacsh! This is especially serious when the curses, the curses reaching tens of thousands, all failed. At least 20% of their lower-leveled members perished as a result."

    Chen Feng felt doubtful. "Wait... If so, the ones killed were only those with curse-rted abilities, right?"

    Ji Feng smiled bitterly. "Bro, are there so many curse ability users in this world? Even the Mysterious Organization would not be able to gather over ten thousand curse ability users even after announcing it 10 days in advance. Among the curse attackers we actually gathered, at least 90% of them were users of other abilities. The only reason they could use curses during the mission was by using gene reagents. Don¡¯t there exist some one-time-use gene reagents capable of unleashing curses out there?"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Previously, he had actually believed that the Mysterious Organization was truly powerful enough to have had so many curse ability users within their ranks! So among all those curse users, therge majority of them had been fillers?

    "As such, a huge amount of people perished during this mission. Normal recruitment will not replenish this amount of manpower. As such, a different method of recruitment will be required." To save his life, Ji Feng was extremely serious in figuring out a way for Chen Feng to sneak into the Mysterious Organization. As he had previously been a project implementer in the Mysterious Organization, he was quitefortable when it came to things like drawing up ns. "Naturally, even during a mass recruitment, the Mysterious Organization will only recruit from their subsidiary families. The recruitment will never be opened to the outside world. After existing for so many years, the organization has cultivated a significant amount of subsidiary families as well. These subsidiary families will only be deployed during moments of crisis. This way, betrayal can be avoided. As for these subsidiary families that have maintained a low profile, as it turns out, I know some of them."

    Ji Feng started muttering as he finalized his n and joined different parts of his n together.

    Perfect!

    Chen Feng knowingly said, "As such, we only need to sneak into those subsidiary families and wait for the recruitment?"

    Ji Feng looked at Chen Feng. "Not you all, only you alone. I will only be able to sneak a single person in without anyone noticing. Even this can only be aplished using the favor one of them owes me due to me saving his life previously."

    Chen Feng shrugged. "Fine."

    Seemed like he would have to go on a solo operation this time. But then...

    Mysterious Organization, eh?

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. He was quite looking forward for it.

    Ji Feng had a solemn expression. "Remember. Even after you are enrolled into the recruitment process, you might not necessarily be allowed entry into the headquarters. Even for a mass recruitment, it will be extremely strict, with all sorts of tests and reviews before a portion of the participants are recruited. Even when mass recruiting, the Mysterious Organization will not lower their standard."

    Chen Feng nodded his head. "Understood."

    "Remember, don¡¯t ever get too anxious... You don¡¯t have to worry too much about Lady Wang Yao. Although I am not aware of what¡¯s going on with her, what I know is that she was taken by the research department," Ji Feng advised him.

    Chen Feng contemted. "Research department?"

    "Yes. The department responsible for setting up the various research projects of the organization," said Ji Feng. "I am not aware of the finer details of how they work, but I am still aware of what normally happens there. She was probably brought there because they are trying to figure out the reason she is so powerful. For such a project... they will first need to file a report before submitting it for review. Next, they will have to wait for the funding to be allocated to them. Only then will the project start. These steps are something they must go through. Before that, they will probably only lock her down while waiting for the start of the project."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    This workflow truly felt too familiar. In other words, Wang Yao shouldn¡¯t be in any trouble within a short period of time.

    "She will be fine. Hence, you must not be anxious." Ji Feng wiped away his cold sweat. He was afraid that Chen Feng would charge in there without taking anything else into consideration. "As long as you follow our n properly, you will be able to sneak in there and rescue her. Based on my previous experiences, new projects normally take in a bunch of new recruits as assistants."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed. "You mean..."

    Ji Feng nodded. "That¡¯s right. If you are lucky enough, you might be able to infiltrate the Wang Yao project."

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "My luck has always been good."

    Chapter 326: Hit with the First Shot

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In a ce called Dawn City, there was a family called the Wang family 1 , one of the top powers locally. Here, among the local powers, this family was second in rank only below the Gic Union¡¯s branch in this city. It had always been known as a family that abided by thew. Unknown to anyone, this family was in actuality also a subsidiary family of the Mysterious Organization.

    "Have we received the update?"

    "Yes."

    "Finally... how much is the quota this time?"

    "Three!"

    "Three... mhm. Send the three most talented children of our Wang family over, then. This time, we must have someone from our family up there in their ranks as well."

    "Yes, this is the only way for us to get more resources allocated to our family."

    The upper levels of the Wang family were in a discussion.

    "Where¡¯s Wang Zhong?"

    "I suppose he¡¯s absent again."

    "He dares to be absent from even such an important meeting?"

    "Be more understanding. You all have your own children. As for him, after so many years, he still has yet to get a child. With that, this meeting doesn¡¯t have anything much to do with him anyway. Just let him be."

    "That is true."

    Everyone sighed.

    Wang Zhong was the firstborn of the Wang family. He was currently 40 years old. Being a rather well-connected person with a rather formidablebat power as well, if nothing unexpected were to happen, he would be the future Wang family leader. Unfortunately, he was without an heir even after so many years.

    "I suppose the future leader of the Wang family is not fixed yet after all."

    "True..."

    "After all, he does not have an heir. Even if the leader¡¯s position is given to him, in the future..."

    Some of them started discussing. They were at their wit¡¯s end as well for something like this to happen.

    Everyone was busy trying to get their child into the Mysterious Organization. If their child were able to do well in the Mysterious Organization, their family¡¯s status would be elevated as well.

    Soon, the meeting ended, their potential candidates having been decided. Based on the update received, these children would be sent over in three days.

    "Train them well. If they can¡¯t even qualify in regard to something as basic asbat power, there¡¯s no need to send them over to embarrass us."

    "Understood."

    Everyone agreed with this sentiment.

    Rather than sending an unqualified candidate to make up the numbers, they might as well disqualify the candidate themselves.

    Soon, they started filtering their candidates.

    Surprising them, Wang Zhong was nowhere to be seen throughout the day.

    "Where did this guy go?"

    Everyone was confused.

    Right at this moment, an astonishing piece of news was delivered to them: Wang Zhong had gone over to the neighboring city¡¯s Zhang family and fought Zhang Yue. It was said that a rather bitter battle had erupted there.

    Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this.

    Zhang Yue? Wasn¡¯t Zhang Yue best friend¡¯s with Wang Zhong? What was going on?

    However,ter in the afternoon, when Wang Zhong came back proudly with a young man, everyone had a vague idea of what had happened...

    It was said that Wang Zhong had once secretly been in love with Zhang Yue¡¯s wife...

    "Oh, look at the face of that kid and who he resembles..."

    "Sh*t!"

    Everyone was stupefied.

    This couldn¡¯t be true, right?

    "Come, let me introduce you all to someone." Wang Zhong patted the kid¡¯s shoulder and said, "He¡¯s Zhang Feng. Ah puih, no. His name is Wang Feng, my son. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! I even tested his DNA to make sure of this. Hahaha, I was always curious as to why that bastard Zhang Yue refused to let me see his son all these years. Unexpectedly, back then, I had hit it with the first shot and actually gotten myself a son!"

    Wang Zhongughed proudly.

    Everyone else was powerless to even berate this. "But Zhang Yue is still your good bro, right?"

    "So what if he¡¯s a bro?" Wang Zhang proudly said, "I have not done him any wrong anyway. Back when that happened, he still had not been together with her yet. It is quite normal for young people to sleep around with each other. What surprised me is that back then, when they got married due to pregnancy, she was actually pregnant with my child instead. Haha! This is just nice, since presently, I don¡¯t have an heir anyway."

    "Is this proper?"

    Everyone else was worried.

    The Zhang family and the Wang family had always maintained a good rtionship. If they were to be enemies due to this...

    Wang Zhong sneered. "How is this improper? That bastard did not use any killing moves on me at all when we were fighting earlier. I suppose he probably realized this way earlier. Well, it¡¯s still good this way, since this kid is also the only heir of the Zhang family. In the future, this kid will inherit both the Zhang family and the Wang family. Both our families will be even closer as a result. This is a good opportunity!"

    As everyone thought of this, they found this agreeable.

    An old man took a look at Wang Feng. "Come, child, let me take a look at you. Mhm... He looks exactly like you when you were young!"

    "Of course." After feeling proud for a bit, Wang Zhong suddenly said, "Oh yeah, let this kid join the recruitment as well."

    "Him?"

    Everyone nked.

    Wang Zhong grudgingly said, "What else? Why else would Zhang Yue let him go so easily? He must have received some news as well. That is also the reason he let this kid go so easily."

    "If so, let¡¯s allow him topete with the rest of the candidates as well."

    "Fine."

    Everyone nodded.

    Soon, the training began.

    Three days wasn¡¯t a long time, but it wasn¡¯t a short time either. All these children of the Wang family were quite strong. At the young age of 17 and 18, they had all reached D ss. Truly not bad. Some of them were even capable of skipping sses to challenge a higher ss warrior.

    However, before Wang Feng, they were all reduced to a joke.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Even when fighting alone against three of them, Wang Feng was still able to easily obtain victory.

    "So strong."

    Everyone else gasped in admiration.

    This kid that appeared to be in D ss as well was astonishingly powerful. This heir that Wang Zhong had conveniently picked up was a person of few words, yet he was truly powerful.

    Ultimately, the auditionpleted, and the final three candidates were confirmed.

    As for Wang Feng, due to his strength that was the strongest among all the candidates, he was named the captain of the three.

    "Worthy of being my son indeed." These two days, Wang Zhong had been feeling immensely proud of himself. At least, that was how it seemed to outsiders. Somewhat troubling him, though, was the fact that, recently, all his neighbors seemed to have moved out... This was especially true for those recently married neighbors of his. They had moved away hastily on the very same night he returned.

    What are they doing??

    Only after asking around did he find out that, due to the appearance of Wang Feng, he was now nicknamed "Child-Gifting Bodhisattva." As for what child he was gifting, he truly couldn¡¯t understand.

    The rumors were even more excessive. There were people saying how, being his neighbor, it would be easy to get the surname Wang. There were even excessive rumors talking about how Wang Zhong had only given Zhang Yue¡¯s wife a nce from far away, and behold, just with that, Zhang Yue¡¯s wife had be pregnant.

    Wang Zhong: "..."

    These people were truly creative when it came to creating rumors! The heck, if he was truly so powerful, he would have united the world under his rule long ago.

    Fortunately, these three days passed quickly. Finally, the people from the Mysterious Organization arrived and took the three candidates away.

    Naturally, in ordance with the notification given by the Mysterious Organization, on paper, these three kids had managed to pass the entrance examination for the Mount City¡¯s Technical School, a ce that could be considered a semi-university.

    On the Ironcloud, Chen Feng contemted as he read the notification in his hands.

    So, this is what they used to conceal their actual identities?

    He had always been curious with the methods employed by the Mysterious Organization to keep their recruitment a secret from the Gic Union. Now, though, he realized that they only needed to use joining a technical school as an excuse. That was the perfect cover.

    Next, the Mysterious Organization could proceed to do another round of elimination at these academies. With that, all this would be kept under wraps.

    "Seems like only those who pass the final test will be able to enter the Mysterious Organization."

    Chen Feng started thinking rapidly.

    Presently, he was entering this school with his identity as Wang Feng. So far, everything had progressed smoothly. As long as he followed the n, everything would be fine. As for the two other candidates from the Wang family...

    Since these two kids had grown up together, they were naturally prejudiced against him, the outsider. Those two were evidently without much life experience, akin to a nk piece of paper. They were currently busy asking the mysterious person some information pertaining to the school, asking questions about the school life and so on.

    Chen Feng merely smiled calmly at this.

    Xiu!

    The Ironcloud started moving.

    Staring at the scenery outside that was rapidly flitting past, Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly.

    Mysterious Organization, here Ie!

 Chapter 327: Baptism

    Chapter 327: Baptism

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At a certain technical school in the suburban district of Mount City, along with the arrival of September, rows of new students could be seen entering the school gate. From the Ironcloud hub of Mount City, countless students were streaming out. Every one of them had an excited smile on their face. Although their present strength was still rather weak, with their entrance into a school, a bright future awaited them!

    "Haha, which school of Mount City are you guys going to?"

    "Bluesoar."

    "Oh? That school rumored to specialize in earth-element abilities?"

    "Yes."

    "Wow, awesome."

    "I heard that there is an offer for the students to enter a university directly. I wonder if that is true..."

    "God knows. When I came, my brother hinted at it to me as well. It was said that not everyone would be able to get entry. It will still depend on individual performances. I don¡¯t quite get what he was trying to say, though."

    "Oh well, we will find out in a few days anyway."

    "True."

    Everyone was discussing spiritedly.

    As the Ironcloud reached the station, countless students walked out excitedly.

    Among these passengers brimming with youth was a particr group of people who were simrly young yet appeared much more mature attitude-wise. Naturally, Chen Feng was part of this group as well. Although these youngsterscked real life experience, they would not say anything unnecessary in front of outsiders, thanks to the training they had received since they had been young. This was an ironw that all subsidiary families of the Mysterious Organization had to obey. Regardless of time or venue, their identity and mission could not be leaked.

    "Go."

    The youngster leading the group led them as they left. The orderly manner in which this group moved also attracted much attention at the Ironcloud hub.

    "They are..."

    "Oh, they are students of some private technical school. I heard that it¡¯s a school on the verge of bankruptcy due to their financial situation. As long as you are human, you will be allowed entry into that school."

    "The heck, there¡¯s such a sh*tty school?"

    "Yeah, all locals are aware of the circumstances of that school. Although the school is located right in the center of the city, people that actually enter that school are normally hooligans and the like. The school is only surviving with great difficulty by epting a small amount of tuition fees from these students. Naturally, some of their students are also those with results so bad that they had no choice but to find some rogue school to continue their studies."

    Rogue school... Known to everyone... Hooligans...

    From this idle chatter, a lot of information was leaked. As Chen Feng heard this, he was rmed. He had initially believed that this so-called technical school was located at some hidden valley in some suburban district. After all, only with that could they avoid being found out by the Gic Union. Surprisingly, their school had actually been built openly right in the middle of the city. That, coupled with the sh*tty reputation of the school, served as a perfect cover, since the Gic Union wouldn¡¯t even bother monitoring such a rogue school.

    This was truly a great demonstration of a person of true ability not bothering with the opinions of others.

    After leaving the Ironcloud hub, they took a car to the school. Chen Feng was expecting to take some examinations or tests here. Unexpectedly, the first thing they did was train.

    A seven-day-long training session. Only now did Chen Feng realize how huge the Mysterious Organization was.

    Twelve hundred candidates! A whole 1,200 candidates were here! They had all been gathered from their subsidiary families, and all of them possessed an eptable level ofbat power that met the Mysterious Organization¡¯s basic requirements. This was quite a terrifying fact when one thought about it.

    ording to Ji Feng¡¯s introduction, it had been three years since thest recruitment. As such, the candidates this time were somewhat high in amount. Despite this, from the amount of candidates, the umtion of the Mysterious Organization was apparent.

    In this world, terrorist organizations were quitemon. However, an organization like the Mysterious Organization, an organization that was self-sufficient and had aplete methodology of nurturing their own talents was the scariest kind of them all.

    "With 1,200 candidates, even if 10 were recruited per city, that totals up to 100 cities."

    Chen Feng was shaken. In other words, the Mysterious Organization was actually so powerful? That was truly too astonishing.

    Naturally, it was not possible for the Mysterious Organization to recruit all 1,200 of the candidates here. After the seven days of training, there would be a test. Those that passed would be directly epted, while the ones who failed would also receive a generous reward. These people would then return to their respective families and continue working hard to serve the organization... by multiplying without stop, creating future generations for the organization.

    Only a single person from a family needed to rise up in power, and the whole family would be elevated.

    Under the iron-fisted control and brainwashing of the Mysterious Organization, the entire human resource supply system of the organization had always been operating efficiently, working to serve the organization. During this period, Chen Feng had also obtained more information from other candidates. He found that these people here were actually truly emotional, from the depths of their hearts, to have gotten this opportunity to be a part of the Mysterious Organization.

    As for whether they could see the truth of things in the future, that would depend on themselves. There were some who were simr to Ji Feng and had seen through the facade long ago. However, at this point, the fates of most of them were already deeply interlinked with the Mysterious Organization. If it wasn¡¯t for this variable known as Chen Feng, Ji Feng most probably would have spent the rest of his life in the Mysterious Organization as well. From this, it was apparent how powerful the Mysterious Organization was.

    "Therefore, these seven days are only used for training and brainwashing?" Chen Feng muttered knowingly.

    It was indeed as he had guessed. During their first round of training, apart from basic power and spiritual training, every single one of them was given a white uniform and told to wear it to recover their energy. As Chen Feng put the uniform on, he discovered that the uniform was truly capable of elerating the wearer¡¯s recovery rate.

    Hence, after receiving the uniforms, numerous students could be seen seated cross-legged on the field.

    Each of them was wearing a white cap on their head. A mysterious yet formidable power could be felt lingering about them. Next, the instructor started chanting. As his voice drifted into their ears...

    Chen Feng felt his gaze blurring. A vague silhouette appeared in his mind. Seated cross-legged in the air, this silhouette was staring at him lovingly.

    The voice was filled with warmth. "Child, from now on, I shall be your protector."

    Subconsciously, Chen Feng nodded at him in response. The faint white radiance started surrounding him. Right at this moment, Xiao Ying awakened from its slumber and streaked out before proceeding to swallow that white silhouette with a single gulp.

    Shua!

    Instantly, the world before Chen Feng¡¯s eyes became clear again.

    When he realized what had happened, he started sweating profusely. It was obvious that he had nearly been brainwashed by this method. A seed had almost been nted in the depths of his mind.

    Realizing what had happened, he started sensing what was going on around him. Sure enough, everyone else was bathed in the white radiance with a fanatical expression on their face. This was truly a cult-like baptism!

    Shua!

    Vaguely, the attention of someone seemed to settle on Chen Feng.

    Without making a noise, Chen Feng disyed a simr fanatical expression on his face. Around his body was the same faint white radiance. Inwardly, though, Chen Feng was wondering¡ªwondering what the goal of this Mysterious Organization was, exactly.

    Scientific research?

    Terrorism?

    A Cult?

    The more he knew about the organization, the more questions he had.

    "I will find out one day."

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was scarily calm.

    After a long time, when everything was over, everyone was allowed to rest.

    The next day, the same thing was repeated. Chen Feng followed along as all this happened and witnessed with his very own eyes how the attitudes of the candidates here changed from the initial novelty, to excitement, to curiosity, until finally, all of them had a fanatical look in their eyes. A fanatical loyalty toward the Mysterious Organization. A fanatical recognition toward a certain power.

    Fortunately, the seven days passed quickly. Finally, the final test began. As far as Chen Feng was concerned, this event was rather unnecessary. Outside of his expectations, though, right before the test, noiselessly, several other people appeared in a certain corner of the field.

    As Chen Feng nced over at them, his emotions surged.

    Square face, hair on the temples, white hair with a small bush of beard. Although he was somewhat ugly, he still stood out among others. With a single nce, Chen Feng recognized him. This was the very person that Ji Feng had told him about, the person that had taken Wang Yao away. This was the manager of the Wang Yao research project.

    For him to appear here now...

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed.

 Chapter 328: Such a Good Character Setting

    Chapter 328: Such a Good Character Setting

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    On the field, the people from the Mysterious Organization were giving their speech. The square-faced neer had appeared noiselessly in a corner. Only several people from the Mysterious Organization went over to receive his arrival. As such, this did not attract much attention.

    "Is this the new batch of recruits?" the square faced man asked without a change in expression.

    The receptionist nodded respectfully. "Yes."

    This square-faced man was nicknamed Square. As for his real name, not many people remembered it. He was the present head of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s research department and a powerful and influential person.

    For him toe himself this time, it was probably for...

    The square faced man calmly said, "I need one new recruit."

    The receptionist had a bitter expression. "I¡¯m afraid... Leader told us that all the new recruits this time belong to that ce."

    Square snorted. "Hmph. I already talked to them. In previous years, there would only be a single group of new recruits epted. This time, though, is the first recruitment in three years that is recruiting from the pool of human resources umted through these three years. I only want one person, the first-ce holder among them. If they disagree..." Square sneered. "I will start fighting with them over all the new recruits. At that time, I will at the very least be able to get one year¡¯s worth of new recruits from the total of three years worth of new recruits over here. I wonder if his heart will ache when that happens..."

    The receptionist smiled bitterly. "This..."

    There were two main factions within the Mysterious Organization. One of them was the technology faction led by Square. This was the faction that believed that technology would be able to alter the whole world. The other faction was the religious faction led by a person in a white uniform. This faction believed that the power of a cult could affect the whole world. Naturally, since this was now the gic era, everything was possible.

    As such, the Mysterious Organization had been focusing on research projects involving both of these.

    Every year, these two factions would fight over the new recruits. In the past, they had been in numerous disputes due to this. Subsequently, the leader had told them to alternate their hiring. One faction would obtain all the new recruits one year, and the other faction would obtain all the new recruits the following year. This solved all their disputes, and since then, both sides had been in harmony. This time, though, a whole three years¡¯ worth of new recruits had been enlisted!

    Even if they were to follow the previous rule, Square would be able to obtain one year¡¯s worth of new recruits from the total pool this time.

    However, they were toozy to report this to the leader. As such, they talked among themselves and reached an agreement that Square could get a single person out of the new recruits this time. After reaching the agreement, Square had immediatelye here.

    Square nced at the receptionist. "One. I only want the strongest one. Don¡¯t try ying any tricks. Or else..."

    The receptionist smiled bitterly. "Understood."

    He noiselessly left the corner and returned to where he had been.

    Neither of them had realized that below their feet was a faint radiance swirling about underground. After they ended their discussion, the radiance streaked away and vanished.

    Shua!

    The red radiance returned to its home. Chen Feng¡¯s eyes became bright.

    "Xiao Ying, rey everything you saw earlier."

    Shua!

    Light started swirling before his eyes as Xiao Ying started directly ying everything it had seen in Chen Feng¡¯s brain.

    Xiao Ying did not really understand any of this. However, that did not stop it from being able to record and rey what had happened to Chen Feng. Its ability to travel freely between the illusory world and the real world was undetectable by others.

    Chen Feng¡¯s mouth curled up, forming a smile. "Only first ce?"

    Based on the introduction, there were five sections in the test. One could obtain 100 points maximum and 0 points minimum for each section. After all the sections ended, the average points would be calcted. Those obtaining 60 points and above would pass the test.

    No limit was ced on the amount of people passing or failing. In other words, if everyone here obtained a score lower than 60 points, they would rather hire nobody than hire such unqualified folks. Naturally, the reason these participants were daring enough toe was also due to them passing the tests conducted by their respective families. The tests of the Mysterious Organization likely wouldn¡¯t differ too much from the tests conducted by their own families. As such, for them, it was quite probable that all of them would pass the test here.

    Sixty points...

    Chen Feng shook his head and burst out inughter.

    Initially, he had only nned to obtain either 60 or 70 points to enter the Mysterious Organization while keeping a low profile. Now, though... he absolutely had to obtain the first ce.

    "Ah."

    Chen Feng stretched his bodyzily.

    True, among the thousands of children here, a lot of them were geniuses with astonishing talent. Unfortunately, they were all quite young and were true nk pieces of paper. As such, they weren¡¯t capable ofpeting with Chen Feng, who had been out there in the chaotic world, surviving for over a year.

    Regardless of which aspect theypeted in, they would suffer a crushing defeat at Chen Feng¡¯s hands.

    This confidence of Chen Feng¡¯s onlysted a short while. When he saw the content of the first test, he was instantly dumbfounded.

    The hell? This shouldn¡¯t be right?

    First test: connections.

    As a member of the Mysterious Organization, when going out on missions, apart from one¡¯s own strength, a lot of other things, such as background and connections, could be exploited. Regardless of friends, family, or anyone else, those would be considered part of one¡¯s strength and would greatly increase the sess rate of missions.

    Shua!

    The screen flickered, and countless green data flitted around. The connections of the participants were being calcted within the set rules. The data of every single participant swirled around madly. Soon, the results were out.

    ----

    Wang Feng: 10 points.

    ----

    Chen Feng: "..."

    As he recalled how he had previously believed that he would crushingly defeat them, his face darkened. This damnable Mysterious Organization was actually of the opinion that one could even exploit one¡¯s friends and families. This was truly an incurable organization.

    In order to avoid being found out, when creating this Wang Feng identity, he had tried his best to reduce the amount of connections of this Wang Feng person. As such, him only obtaining 10 points was reasonable in this round. Even the 10 points he had obtained had only been given after considering his identity as an heir of two families. Otherwise, he most probably would have obtained a score of 0 points.

    This score...

    Chen Fen¡¯s head ached.

    He checked the results of others and found that, for various reasons, the other participants around him obtained at least 80 points. Some obtained the scores due to their family¡¯s being powerful, and some due to the reputation they had. There were even some who were celebrity warriors or celebrity producers and had obtained high scores due to that. What rmed Chen Feng the most, though, was a youngdy called Xie Zhongtong.

    This was a person who had sessfully attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Her scores were already off the charts, and on the screen, a score of 100-plus points had been allotted to her.

    Evidently, if the maximum score for this test hadn¡¯t been restricted to 100 points, her score would have been even higher.

    Chen Feng was shaken. "The new recruits of the Mysterious Organization are so scary?"

    Due to his strength being far higher than the rest around him, the other participants¡¯ conversations that were carried out in whispers all reached Chen Feng¡¯s ears.

    As Chen Feng heard their evaluation of this Lady Xie Zhongtong, he sunk into silence.

    From what he gathered, thisdy was excessively powerful. She was in some sort of rtionship with the sessors of multiple different families or factions; she was a person capable of making all those heirs prostrate before her skirt. There were even certain special circumstances where she and those heirs would be taking turns doing... Mhm, anyway, that was what Chen Feng gathered from the crowd.

    Hence, for all these reasons, this lively youngdy had obtained 100+ points in this round. Right at the start, she was already far ahead of everyone else. In this situation, this was no longer an issue of different starting lines. Rather, this youngdy¡¯s starting line was also the finish.

    After summarizing all the information he had obtained, Chen Feng could only exim in admiration. He truly couldn¡¯t help but ept the victory of such a person.

    Chen Feng felt regretful. "If I knew this would happen, I would have set up Wang Feng with the identity of a yboy."

    If Wang Feng was set as a yboy, with the ability of "hitting with a single shot" inherited from his father, this yboy Wang Feng would have been equivalent to a "mobile seeder," spreading his love and seeds everywhere. The whole world would be filled with his children, all hidden within the other great families. With this, would he obtain 100 points as well?

    He was truly regretful. The more Chen Feng thought of it, the more regretful Chen Feng was. What a good character setting that would be...

    Chapter 329: This Is Indeed the Gic Era

    As Chen Feng wasmenting the wasted opportunity, suddenly, he noticed something else. Based on the data shown, among the connections this girl had, a part of them consisted of the new recruits that had joined in the same batch as them. On top of that, the amount of them was quite high. There were 85 of them in total!

    Chen Feng felt like his brain was short-circuiting.

    Wait, they had only been here for seven days, right? If so, how had this girl reached this amount? Just as he was wondering, suddenly, a soft voice resounded beside him. "Hello."

    Chen Feng turned around and saw a youngdy dressed in a white gown. There wasn¡¯t much makeup on her face, yet she appeared astonishingly beautiful. This was a tender and pleasant-looking youngdy. Arge majority of people would have a good impression when looking at such ady. Currently, this youngdy was staring at Chen Feng cautiously, waiting for his reply to her greeting.

    Chen Feng nked. "Hi." When had this youngdy appeared behind him?

    "Sigh. I saw that you only received a score of 10 points for the connections test." The youngdy was seemingly a rather shy person, as she talked in a bashful manner. "With this score, even if you manage to pass the test in the end, it will be rather inconvenient for you in your future missions."

    Chen Feng agreed after thinking about it. "That¡¯s true."

    If one was truly a part of the Mysterious Organization and was thinking about one¡¯s future in the organization, this score was indeed worrying. Since the Mysterious Organization had set this topic as one of the test, this would definitely be rted to future missions they might all undertake. If he was able to obtain a higher score here, it would beneficial.

    "True." The youngdy adjusted the corner of her dress and whispered, "So if you are interested, I am able to help you improve in this aspect."

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "Oh?"

    Improvement? But this was rted to one¡¯s background and connection...

    True, if this youngdy was incredibly well-connected, one only needed to know her for one¡¯s connections score to increase. This was quite a simple fact.

    However...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "Why are you helping me?"

    This youngdy¡¯s mannerisms were indeed sufficient to sway the hearts of a lot of males. Unfortunately, among those who walked the path of the loli, presently, Chen Feng had yet to meet one surpassing Wang Yao.

    As such, Chen Feng was able to keep his mind straight and directly ask the crucial question.

    "Due to your self-confidence." The youngdy winked her huge eyes in an adorable manner and continued, "Only 10 points in the test, yet you are still filled with confidence. This is sufficient to prove that, in other aspects, you are extremely powerful. It is only natural that I want to get to know such a person. And..." The youngdy lowered her head and yed with the corner of her dress. "Don¡¯t judge me based on my appearance. In actuality, I am very powerful as well."

    Chen Feng couldn¡¯t help but admire her. "Fine." She was indeed worthy of being someone educated by a subsidiary family of the Mysterious Organization.

    Even such a naive and lively-looking girl had the insight to know that he was formidable with a single nce. Chen Feng thought about this and concluded that if he could get to know some powerful figures this time, it would be helpful in his mission as well.

    Mhm... at least these people he would get to know would make a lot of things he wanted to aplish much more convenient.

    Chen Feng looked at her. "What should I do, then?"

    The youngdy bashfully said, "It¡¯s quite simple. We have created a small alliance so that the members can help each other."

    Instantly, Chen Feng was enlightened. "Oh, oh."

    Alliance! How very powerful! In such a short period of time, these participants had already formed their own circles? All this while, Chen Feng had believed that he was already being sufficiently outgoing. Unexpectedly, in a short seven days, these people here had already created their own alliance, a circle for themselves. Something like an alliance was something that would only work when there was trust between members. The members needed to be united as well, or else the alliance would fail at any moment. Hence, even if Chen Feng wanted to, he would not be able to set one up.

    Indeed, he should not look down on anyone. Now, Chen Feng withdrew all contempt he¡¯d had for these people. They were truly quite terrific. Was this youngdy someone sent from the alliance?

    "What is your alliance¡¯s name?" Chen Feng asked instinctively.

    She softly said, "The Goddess Alliance."

    Goddess?

    The name sounds sufficiently formidable. From the name, it is apparent that the one who established this alliance is a woman. But then, why does this name sounds so familiar? Wait!

    Suddenly, Chen Feng recalled something.

    Abruptly, Chen Feng shifted his attention to the delicate-looking youngdy in front of him. "What is your name?"

    The youngdy was evidently shocked by Chen Feng¡¯s abrupt reaction. "Me?" Only after she recovered from the shock did she bashfully lower her head and say, "My name is Xie Zhongtong."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    The heck!

    Chen Feng was stupefied.

    Xie Zhongtong? This youngdy that was shy even when talking was the Xie Zhongtong?

    Wait.

    Chen Feng felt like his thoughts were no longer capable of catching up with what was going on.

    He pointed at the first ce holder on the screen. "So... This is you."

    The youngdy appeared even more bashful now. "Mhm."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    This was totally different from the sex queen he had expected to see. As a woman who dominated everywhere she went and was capable of establishing her very own harem, shouldn¡¯t her very person be overflowing with a sense of tyranny?

    The rumors...

    Chen Feng shook his head. Rumors were indeed not trustworthy.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng recalled the discussion of the crowd earlier. "I heard that you have been asking several new recruits out on dates..."

    The youngdy waved her hands repeatedly. "That¡¯s not true. I haven¡¯t gone on dates with anyone."

    Chen Feng pointed to the 85 people indicated in her data as part of her connections. "But those people..."

    She was somewhat embarrassed. "Aiya, that was actually a coincidence."

    Chen Feng felt enlightened. "Oh."

    So, all that had indeed merely been rumors? Nowadays, rumors could be so terrifying, huh? Capable of putting so many smears on even a nice youngdy like her.

    "At that time, the training for the day had just ended. A few people organized a group exercise. I went over to join in on the fun. There was quite a huge crowd there with everyone crowded in a single room. Seeing that it was an ideal environment for me to activate my ability, I tried activating it shortly. Unexpectedly, in a single activation, so many of them were covered by my ability," the youngdy said in a bashful manner.

    Chen Feng frowned. "Oh." So this youngdy¡¯s ability was something like a religious brainwash that was used against one¡¯s mind?

    Chen Feng asked, "Your ability..."

    "Eroticism," the youngdy said seriously.

    "Eroti¡ªwait, miss." The more he heard, the more Chen Feng felt that something was off. He cautiously probed, "Oh, right, perhaps we have different definitions of the term ¡®group exercise¡¯? I¡¯m wondering what exercise it is, exactly, that you all participated in?"

    With her face flushed red, the youngdy said, "It¡¯s that exercise. Initially, they organized a group exercise. After I activated my ability, I turned it into an exercise for a group of people. Aiya, in any case, it is a group exercise. Annoying, why are you forcing me to say this out so clearly." The youngdy lowered her head bashfully.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    The heck. The term group exercise can also be defined in this manner?

    Looking at the youngdy in front of him, Chen Feng felt a deep veneration from the depths of his heart.

    This youngdy was truly vigorous! This was a truly ferocious warrior!

    Chen Feng rubbed his head. "Hence, the function of your ability..."

    "Those who did it with me will have an extreme trust in me," the youngdy said bashfully.

    Chen Feng: "..." Chen Feng chose his words wisely and asked, "Hence, everyone in the alliance, with you..."

    "Yes." The youngdy was somewhat prideful as she said, "There¡¯s no other choice. Otherwise, they wouldck the trust to establish an alliance with each other. Moreover, with this, everyone can contribute to each other¡¯s connections. Look, a lot of them would only have obtained a score of 10 or 20 points initially. After the establishment of this alliance, they all received a score of 60 points or above."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He no longer dared to ask more, as he already had a rough guess of what her answer would be.

    Chen Feng¡¯s imagination of their conversation:

    ----

    Chen Feng: "Lady, it is rumored that you are taking turns doing it with them..."

    Youngdy: "How hateful. That is not possible. It is too tiring to do it in turns. Normally, I do it with all of them at once...

    ----

    Too scary!

    Chen Feng felt like his worldview was copsing. This was especially true since he could clearly feel that this youngdy was truly a naive and innocent girl and was not faking this appearance. The fact that such a girl had such an aplishment was the scariest thing.

    Chen Feng started reying his memory to make sure that he had truly transmigrated into a world of genes instead of some erotic game world.

    As Chen Feng looked at this youngdy, he found that he now had a brand new understanding on the meaning of themonly used term of this gic era: "Nothing is impossible."

    This was indeed the gic era, an era where nothing was impossible!

    Chapter 330: No Point in Grouping Together

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The youngdy extended an invitation to Chen Feng. "Then, are you interested..."

    Chen Feng rejected her decisively. "No."

    "But..." She started giving Chen Feng a series of serious exnations. However, she was still rejected by Chen Feng. What joke? This youngdy here was the main character of a porno world. Since they walked different paths, there was no point in them grouping together.

    The youngdy could only pout and leave. "Fine, then." However, before she left, she did not forget to clench both her fists and gave herself some encouragement. "I will definitely work hard to obtain you!"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Only when the youngdy left did Chen Feng breathe out in relief.

    For some unknown reason, he suddenly thought of his bro Wang Chun. Tsk tsk, look at you and look at her! With a single ability, she established a harem for herself! How about you? Your ability gave you a harem, yet you failed to conquer your harem! Trash!

    Presently, the Wang Chun that was so far away was unaware that he had been berated by Chen Feng. He was still cautiously serving the big mistress, Ming Yue.

    Currently, at the field of the technical school, the analysis of the data of over 1,000 participants had taken quite a while toplete, even with the assistance of experts. Only now did the first round officially end.

    Only 500 of the participants had passed with a score of 60 points. Among the 500, over 80 of them were those who had only passed thanks to Xie Zhongtong¡¯s alliance.

    Evidently, a huge portion of the people here were those who ced more trust in their own strength. Beforeing here, they had all passed different tests back home. Hence, they had believed that getting through this test wouldn¡¯t pose them much trouble.

    "Herees the real thing."

    "Yeah, it doesn¡¯t matter if one is somewhatcking in connections. As long as one is strong enough, the connections wille knocking by themself."

    "Isn¡¯t that true?"

    "I heard that those who upy the top ces will be paid more attention by the upper levels."

    "That¡¯s for sure. With so many of us, there will definitely be some who are geniuses and some who will be given special nurturing by the organization in the future. Hehehe..."

    "If so, I will have to try fighting for it."

    Everyone rubbed their fists and was eager to give this a try.

    Unknown to all of them, the moment the true test began, with Chen Feng here, the first ce of this test would no longer have anything to do with them.

    Currently, the second test had just started. Strength. This was the most straightforward and violent test, a test ofbat. One only needed to erupt with one¡¯s strongestbat power. Next, the system would judge that person¡¯s actualbat power.

    Their opponent was a ck-clothed man who was only now walking out toward them.

    He stood there in front of all of them and shut both his eyes. "Everyone. Your opponent is me."

    Instantly, all the participants nked.

    It was him? How were they supposed to fight him?

    Just as everyone was in doubt, countless phantoms streaked out of that person¡¯s body. A terrifying power bloomed, and after that instant eruption, a phantom was already beside every single one of the participants.

    "Moonlight Phantom!" someone cried out in rm.

    Moonlight Phantom was a 6-star secret art, a secret art that was capable of automatically releasing a corresponding amount of phantoms depending on the amount of enemies. Apart from that, the strength of these phantoms could be fine-tuned as well. The fewer enemies there were, the fewer phantoms there would be.

    Theoretically, as long as the user had sufficient energy, he could summon even a billion phantoms. That was what was scary about this ability.

    Naturally, this wasn¡¯t practically possible due to all sorts of limitations. However, creating over 1,000 phantoms against these participants here was still a possible feat.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    One phantom after another appeared.

    All the participants prepared themselves seriously. Before each of the participants was a phantom with a sufficient amount of wisdom and a strength that was simr to the participant. The strength would increase based on the strength of the participant as well.

    "Go!"

    All the participants erupted with their strongestbat power.

    The grading method was in fact quite simple. Those withbat power below D ss would receive 0 points. Those above peak B ss would receive 100 points. The passing grade score was fixed at C ss.

    As long as one reached C ss, one would be able to pass this test.

    In truth, a lot of the gic warriors here were only D ss. However, they only needed to utilize their strength properly. That, coupled with a solid grasp of their secret arts, made erupting with abat power equivalent to a C ss possible for them.

    Somewhere on the field, Xie Zhongtong waved her hands. Next, a clump of pink energy appeared and enveloped the phantom in front of her. After a long time, when that phantom walked out of the pink clump, it seemed to have shrunk. As for what had happened in the pink clump, it was a mystery.

    In other parts of the field, numerous youngsters were erupting with their formidable power. Some of them had even erupted with a C ss power right off the bat. As long as they reached C ss power, they would be able to pass this test. Were these people satisfied with only 60 points, though? Evidently, they were not. Everyone was pushing themselves, trying to reach the power equivalent to a B ss.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "It¡¯s starting."

    He had only obtained 10 points during the first round. If he wanted to obtain the first ce, he absolutely had to obtain full scores in the subsequent rounds. Moreover, he had to avoid using the power of his Energy Equipment. He truly had no other options. Users of Energy Equipment were truly too rare. The moment he used it, everyone would know that he was Chen Feng.

    However, if he did not use his Energy Equipment...

    Shua!

    The phantom facing him was already charging toward him.

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression was unprecedentedly serene as he faced the phantom. If he couldn¡¯t use the methods most familiar to him, there was only one method he could employ to defeat this phantom: Nethergaze!

    This was an ability of his that the Mysterious Organization was unaware of.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Very good."

    Wind de, arise!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Numerous incorporeal Wind des shed out. Under the control of his Luck Aura, all the Wind des released by Chen Feng were transformed into a super ability capable of enhancing his speed.

    Instantly, his speed became terrifyingly fast. His speed that had initially been equivalent to a C ss instantly climbed up, reaching B ss.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The phantoms tried attacking him several times, yet all their attacks missed. The red radiance in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes flickered without stop. True, he was unable to use his Energy Equipment here. However, it wouldn¡¯t take Chen Feng too long to deal with these warriors below A ss anyway.

    Lock onpleted in one second.

    Xiu!

    With a sh of red, a D ss was insta-killed.

    Lock onpleted in 30 seconds.

    Xiu!

    With a sh of red, a C ss was insta-killed.

    Even without using his Energy Equipment, he was still able to unleash an astonishingly formidable power with his Nethergaze. As long as he wasn¡¯t hit, Chen Feng would be able to insta-kill anyone!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The whole field was akin to a chaotic battlefield.

    Around the field were numerous drones hovering in the air. One scanner after another was aimed at the field. Evidently, these scanners were analyzing thebat power unleashed by the participants here.

    Everyone¡¯s data was swirling about without stop as the system analyzed them.

    Suddenly, one of the participants was defeated by the phantom. Instantly, his data that had been swirling about stopped moving and he received his evaluated strength: 32 points. After receiving his score, he could only retire with a pale expression.

    With such a score... if he wanted to receive a passing average score, he would have to try harder in subsequent rounds.

    The rest of the battles did notst long either. Apart from certain individuals with unique battling methods, an absolute majority of the participants were defeated after reaching a score of around 60 to 70 points.

    Presently, there were less than 10 participants remaining in battle.

    Ultimately, these people were all gradually defeated as their scores reached around 78 to 79 points.

    "Finally, thebat power has reached B ss."

    "Hahaha, it is already quite decent to be able to unleash a power equivalent to B ss."

    "True, we are not even 20 years old yet. Since we are already able to unleash B-ss power now, when we enter the organization, the day we unleash A-ss power will not be too far away."

    Those who remained toward the end were all extremely excited.

    Evidently, for these people capable of unleashing B-ss power at this age, the organization would definitely nurture them as elites. Presently, only two were left on the field. One of them was a buff looking guy who was already deathly pale yet was still persisting in his battle with the phantom. He would asionally nce at what was happening beside him. He was aware that the guy beside him, that Wang Feng, was still battling his phantom as well. Hence, he had to press on.

    Sincebat was what he was most well versed in, he had to obtain first ce in this round. Presently, the battle at Wang Feng¡¯s side seemed to have ended.

    I won!

    The buff guy was overjoyed. After waiting for an extra two seconds, when his score reached 80 points, he finally allowed himself to be defeated by the phantom. If his guess was correct, when Wang Feng was defeated earlier, the score should have been only 79 points. However, after ending his battle, when he raised his head to look at Wang Feng, he was instantly dumbfounded.

    Astonishingly, he saw that Chen Feng was the one who had defeated the phantom, obtaining a score of 100 points!

 Chapter 331: Overemphasize

    Chapter 331: Overemphasize

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "How is this possible?!" the buff guy cried out in rm.

    Killing? Rather than persevering until he was defeated, Chen Feng had killed the phantom instead? Did this not mean that this guy called Wang Feng had erupted with a power equivalent to peak B ss?

    Currently, apart from the buff guy, everyone else in the field sunk into silence as well.

    Simr to the previous Xie Zhongtong¡¯s 100-plus points, Wang Feng¡¯s 100-plus points shocked a countless amount of people as well, because this signified that he already possessed abat power equivalent to a peak B ss. A person with such strength at such an age was truly terrifying.

    Toward all this, Chen Feng merely smiled calmly. If he were not afraid of using Energy Equipment and thus exposing his identity, he would have even been able to defeat an A-ss phantom.

    When using such phantoms for tests, their strength was adjustable. Unfortunately, they were also too easy to act against. This was especially true for Chen Feng and his Myriad Illusions. He only needed to select several abilities that were strong against phantoms before fusing them with the help of his Luck Aura. Next, he would be able to erupt with an astonishingbat power before using Nethergaze to insta-kill his opponent. It was as easy as that.

    "Wang Feng..."

    Almost everyone there etched this name into their brain.

    As for the people from the Mysterious Organization that were observing this test around the field, their interests were all piqued as well. Different from other tests, the current test represented the participant¡¯s currentbat power.

    If it was a test of one¡¯s potential, that person might still require some energy being expended upon him to nurture him. But for a test of one¡¯s presentbat power...

    "Remember his name!"

    Everyone¡¯s attention was attracted.

    "Wang Feng..."

    Xie Zhongtong was extremely astonished as she saw this. She was aware that Wang Feng was quite a promising guy. Unexpectedly, he was powerful to such an extent. It was no wonder that he had ignored her alliance.

    Mhm... but then, only with this would she derive more satisfaction after conquering Wang Feng.

    Xie Zhongtong was brimming with confidence. "I will obtain you."

    At the same time, a lot of people were discussing without stop. The results for the first two tests were already out, and for certain participants, it was already clear whether they would be able to survive this test until the end. For example, Wang Feng would most certainly survive this test. A person like him who already possessed peak B-ssbat power could be put into use immediately after recruitment. As such, it was natural for him to be recruited by the recruiters.

    Hence, a lot of people started having ideas. They did not dare approach Wang Feng. However, a lot of them started taking the initiative to approach those from Wang Feng¡¯s family, the two younger brothers that hade here with him.

    It wouldn¡¯t be bad for them to first forge a better rtion with these brothers.

    "Bro, how was your result for these two rounds?" someone started asking one of Wang Feng¡¯s younger brothers called Wang Jiu.

    Wang Jiu was ashen faced as he answered. "In the connections test, zero points. In the strength test, 1 point."

    He understood the reason for the zero points he had gotten for the connections test. After all, he was unlike that Wang Feng guy with the backing of two fathers and two families. For him, as an ordinary member of the Wang family, it was natural that he would score zero, connections-wise. However, he had still been somewhat confident in his personal strength. However, Wang Feng¡¯s subsequent eruption had given him a shock.

    These two brothers had always been trying topete with Wang Feng. Outside of their expectations, Wang Feng was actually powerful to such an extent.

    Next, he had lost control of his emotions and, in his moment of weakness, had given the phantom an opportunity to attack and ended up defeated by the phantom. He hadn¡¯t even gotten a chance to erupt with any of his strength.

    "Oh..." Instinctively, that person replied, "Bro, you have somewhat overemphasized in only a single aspect, it seems..."

    Wang Jiu: "???"

    "Cough." After pondering for a bit, that person decided that this was still quite awkward. Hence, he coughed before leaving hastily.

    Wang Jiu snorted. "Hmph!" However, he couldn¡¯t help himself but look toward the center of the field. There, where everyone¡¯s attention was focused, was a single person: Wang Feng!

    "Wang Feng..." Wang Jiu muttered.

    Since they were from the same family, he had a natural sense ofpetitiveness toward this person.

    Regardless of how strong you are, my potential will surpass yours! As long as the potential test proves that I have the potential to be a peak A ss, or perhaps even stronger...

    Wang Jiu¡¯s eyes shone.

    As of now, the third round was starting.

    That¡¯s right, this was a test of one¡¯s potential.

    The reason for this test being the third round was because the second round¡¯s test of one¡¯s strength would be used as an initial temte for their database of the participants. As for this round, the results of this round would decide the amount of resources the organization would invest in the participants moving forward.

    An example using Wang Feng: Everyone was aware that he was presently C ss with abat power equivalent to peak B ss. In this round, they wanted to see the potential of Wang Feng, to see his future limits. If his limit was C ss, this would signify that the current Wang Feng had already peaked. If so, he might still be epted into the Mysterious Organization. However, his future in the organization wouldn¡¯t be particrly encouraging.

    There was also a possibility that he would obtain zero points in this round and fail to enter the organization due to that. This was how important one¡¯s potential was. To a certain extent, one¡¯s potential was an extremely important matter.

    This was also what gave a lot of participants who hadn¡¯t done well previously some hope. After all, there were various reasons, such asck of resources or unsuitable environments, that could cause one¡¯s strength to be weak. However, none of that would limit the talent or potential they had.

    "Come,e,e. Here, ce your hand on the evaluation screen."

    In front of everyone, an evaluation screen was hovering.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. This thing...

    Based on his guesses, this hovering screen was merely a port that would collect the data of a person, such as body quality, spiritual energy, and the like, and transmit all the data to the evaluator. As for the method of evaluation, it was most certainly something decided using an ability of some expert.

    "Is this urate?"

    "It should be quite urate. I heard that the evaluator is A ss."

    "Wow, A ss?"

    Everyone started gasping in admiration.

    Evaluator was in itself a rare upation. Despite the poprity of those in this profession, due to the nearly zerobat power they had, not many people were willing to join this profession. As for those in this profession with nearly zerobat power who were able to struggle up to the point where they reached A ss? That was nearly impossible. Any random B ss would be able to kill an evaluator at any time.

    Therefore, apart from unique existences such as the Mysterious Organization, not many other organizations were capable of nurturing personal A-ss evaluators for their own use.

    For the Mysterious Organization to dispatch such an elder here, the importance they attached to this recruitment was apparent.

    "Let me try."

    Everyone ced their hand on the screen with excitement.

    Shua!

    Instantly, rows of data started shing out.

    Eighty points!

    Twenty points!

    Seventy points!

    One score after another appeared. Some were happy, some grieved.

    There were some who had been proud sons of the heavens. A person who had reached C ss at a young age, a genius just behind Wang Feng, astonishingly scored only 10 points in the evaluation of potential.

    This signified that this person had already exhausted all his potential and was not worth nurturing.

    "He actually exhausted his potential?"

    "Sigh, I suppose he used some abnormal methods to increase his strength in the past."

    "That¡¯s possible."

    Everyone started discussing.

    Next, a session of several youngsters with formidable strength yet low scores in the evaluation of their potential started appearing.

    Evidently, a lot of people had used some abnormal methods to increase their strength in order to pass the Mysterious Organization¡¯s test. Unfortunately, these methods they had used were the very things that lost them their future.

    With this, what was the point even if they were recruited? They would be stuck at the lowest level of the organization their whole lives.

    Shua!

    The other participants that had previously been quite close to these participants started distancing themselves from these people. Naturally, there were also some who were once again being treated favorably after this test.

    For example, Wang Jiu. This guy who had been obscure and unknown earlier was indeed a huge dark horse. With an astonishing low score of one point in the previous round, he had managed to obtain a score of 80 points in this round.

    Naturally, this was somewhat affected by his starting score as well. Other participants would start this test with at least 20 points from their previous round. As for this guy, he had obtained only one point in the previous round due to a moment of carelessness. As such, due to the system considering him to be an extremely weak person, when the test was conducted on his potential inparison to his current strength, the end result was somewhat inted. Even thought it was an inted result, it was still an astonishing evaluation for his future: Peak B ss! This guy had the potential to charge straight until the peak of B ss in the future!

    "Who¡¯s that?"

    "Wang Jiu, the younger brother of Wang Feng."

    "Oh."

    "The members of this family seem quite powerful."

    "Mhm, someone with a potential to reach peak B ss... If he encounters some fortuitous circumstances in the future and breaks through into A ss..."

    Everyone¡¯s attention was attracted. Any breakthrough into A ss required both opportunity and coincidences to be sessful anyway. As such, people weren¡¯t particrly bothered by the fact that his potential did not reach A ss. As long as his potential reached peak B ss, it was sufficient.

    Hence, the Wang Jiu that had previously been neglected once again attracted the attention of everyone. As for those like Xie Zhongtong and the like, they simrly received the astonishing potential evaluation of peak B ss, attracting much attention as well.

    It was very probable that this group of people would be the geniuses among the new recruits of this batch!

    Naturally, as more and more evaluations were released, a lot of people started paying attention to Wang Feng. What was the potential of this kid who had obtained first ce in the previous round?

    "Wang Feng..." Wang Jiu¡¯s gaze was cold. Initially, Wang Zhong had been without an heir. It was quite likely that he, Wang Jiu, would have inherited the Wang family in the future. Now that Wang Feng had appeared, though, he had lost everything! Therefore, it was quite natural for him to envy and hate Wang Feng.

    With this score of 80 points for his potential, he regained his confidence. Now, with his newfound confidence, he started wondering about this so-called brother of his, this person who was a C ss withbat power equivalent to a B ss. What exactly is Wang Feng¡¯s potential?

    Everyone¡¯s gazended on Wang Feng.

    Presently, our friend Chen Feng was still staring nkly ahead. To be urate, he was actually analyzing the evaluation method of the evaluator.

    Chen Feng contemted. "A-ss evaluator?"

    He knew that, in this world, an ability capable of seeing through one¡¯s future with a single nce did not exist. This was even more so in this gic era, an era of countless possibilities, thus rendering the future hard to predict.

    If so, what would the A-ss evaluator use as the basis of his evaluation?

    Chen Feng started studying the screen hovering in front of him. This should be the core determiner of one¡¯s result during the evaluation.

    Body quality, spiritual awareness, age, energy intensity, unknown parameters, all these would be taken into consideration. Chen Feng wasn¡¯t exactly sure how the evaluation was going to work. However, from what he had seen so far, he had his own deductions.

    His conclusion was that during the instant where his body was scanned for data, if a certain parameter of his body had an extremely high reading, the result would be influenced to reflect on him favorably.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng ced his hand on the screen. Right at this instant, Xiao Ying started unleashing its energy noiselessly.

    Bang!

    On the evaluation screen, data started appearing. However, the data for Chen Feng appeared to be off the charts! For other participants, their data would change in a way that their score would rise gradually from 60, to 70, to 80, and so on. Next, the score would slowly stabilize itself before it stopped increasing. As for Chen Feng¡¯s score...

    Bang!

    In a single instant, it reached triple digits!

    Next, the number flickered without stop.

    One hundred plus!

    One hundred plus!

    One hundred plus!

    This number started flickering crazily.

    ??

    Everyone was dumbfounded.

    One hundred plus?!

    The hell, the score in potential could reach 100-plus as well?

    What the hell?

    "I remember that even the potential of A ss requires only a score of 90..."

    "That¡¯s right. Does this mean that Wang Feng has the potential to easily and smoothly break through the bottleneck of B ss to reach A ss? As someone with a potential of A ss, as long as he remains alive, Wang Feng will most certainly reach A ss in the future!"

    "Good lord!"

    Everyone was stunned.

    To understand this shock, one had to understand that, during every single recruitment in the past, the focus had been ced on A sses! A single A ss was equivalent to 100 B sses! However, was it so easy to find a new recruit with A-ss potential? Hence, most of the time, the Mysterious Organization focused on nurturing the children with peak B-ss potential.

    In every batch of recruits, there were bound to be some with peak B-ss potential. When these people eventually reached peak B ss in the future, the organization would aid them by giving them some suitable missions that would help with their breakthrough. Within a huge group of peak B sses, there would definitely be one or two that sessfully broke through into A ss. With this, the organization would increase the count of experts in their ranks. This was how the Mysterious Organization had increased the count of their A-ss warriors all this while.

    As for those whose potential reached A ss? The amount of people with such potential was extremely low, to the point where the term "rarely seen" could fittingly describe them.

    The maximum score of someone with peak B-ss potential was 80 points. However, as long as one had a potential of A ss, one would directly obtain an extra score of 10 points and thus obtain a score of 90 points. From this, the importance of A ss was apparent.

    In fact, as long as it was proved that one had the potential of A ss, regardless of one¡¯s total score, the Mysterious Organization would still recruit that person, even if he scored zero in all other tests.

    "I¡¯m afraid this Wang Feng guy is going to be super popr now."

    "He is too terrifying!"

    "A-ss potential?"

    Everyonemented.

    "That¡¯s not all. Look at his score. 90 points is equivalent to A-ss potential. But above this level, there¡¯s an extra score of 10 points that will be used to represent the different stages of A ss. But he..."

    At this, everyone was startled awake.

    True! The evaluation of Wang Feng was not something as simple as mere A-ss potential. Rather, he had obtained a score of 100 points! No, to be urate, he had a score of 100-plus points! Furthermore, his score was still flickering without stop on the screen.

    If so, what was his limit, then? It was unknown!

    "This person..."

    Even some of those from the Mysterious Organization were stirred at the sight of this.

    They were aware that this round of recruitment, this recruitment after three years of pause, had brought upon them a genius with unlimited potential, a person with seemingly no contenders!

    Perhaps this person could even be a peak A ss in the future!

    "Record his information."

    "All right."

    Henceforth, the name Wang Feng was noted by countless people.

    Evidently, regardless of his results in subsequent tests, his entry into the Mysterious Organization was already confirmed.

    But then...

    A grin appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "This is still not enough."

    He had only obtained a good result in two rounds, so his total score was still far from sufficient. Due to his low score in the test of connections, he was still not the first-ce holder when all the scores were added up. This wouldn¡¯t do, since his goal was to obtain first ce.

    Chen Feng¡¯s gazended on Square identally, and he noted that although there were some fluctuations on Square¡¯s face, his expression still appeared serene.

    Chen Feng calmed himself down. "Is it because he¡¯s only taking in the first ce holder?"

    All the tests here were meaningless to him, since he had only one goal: Square!

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze became stern. Seems like I will have to put more effort into the subsequent rounds, then.

    As the people around him saw that, even with such results, he still maintained his calm and was not the least bit proud, they all startedmenting. He was indeed worthy of being a young man with unlimited potential.

    Such a disposition... tsk tsk...

    "Wang Feng."

    As for Xie Zhongtong, her eyes were already twinkling by now. From the start, she had noticed him. However, she had never expected that he was so extraordinary. Instantly, her heart was moved. As for the Wang Jiu that had been the center of attention earlier, he had been forgotten long ago.

    And now, the fourth test began.

    This was quite a simple round: survivability. It was fine for one to be a genius. However, one could never forget that only a genius that was able to stay alive could continue being a genius. If one was dead, rather than a genius, one would be a corpse instead. As such, this was a round that tested the participants¡¯ survival skills.

    A total score of 100 corresponded to 100 different killing methods. One point would be granted for every killing method a participant survived.

    Shua!

    Light started swirling around.

    All the participants felt the scenes before their eyes change before they entered an illusionary world.

    With this, the round began officially.

    Assassination, ambush, passion killing, killing curse, poison... all sorts of killing methods appeared.

    In this uniquely generated illusion, everyone would be led into believing that they were truly in this illusory world and would forget that they were currently in a test. Next, those sudden killing methods would appear to attempt to kill them.

    This round of test had a different name as well: Mysterious Organization¡¯s Encyclopedia of 100 Killing Methods.

 Chapter 333: Free Points

    Chapter 333: Free Points

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The test began. Everyone¡¯s score was increasing without stop. Since the initial wave of attacks were still rtively simpler attacking methods, such as direct collision or some simple attack skills, the participants were still able to dodge these attacks easily. The first 50 killing methods were akin to free points for the participants. In order to not let the different strength level of the participants influence the result, the opponents each participant faced possessed a simr level of strength as the participant in question.

    Naturally, for those who were defeated by even such simple killing methods, there was no longer any need for them to proceed further in the recruitment.

    Soon, as the round reached the second half, the truly scary killing methods started appearing. These killing methods consisted of methods such as concealing the killer beside the participant, concealing among a group of passersby before charging out suddenly, using poisons, and so on... The methods were so many it was almost impossible for one to defend against.

    All the participants used their own methods of dealing with these. Some were incredibly intelligent and were able to analyze every single thing happening before discovering their killer and killing the killer to end the round with a high score of over 80 points. Some of them had incredibly high vitality and would not die regardless of the amount of battles they engaged in. These people ended the round with high scores as well. As for Xie Zhongtong, there was no need to doubt her ability to grab a high score. Even when she failed to discover her target, that instant where her target appeared and exchanged a single nce with her...

    Mhm... at that moment, the dreadful atmosphere of the illusory world would seemingly transform into an atmosphere filled with love. Even the A-ss expert who was in charge of unleashing this illusory world was copsing emotionally at the sight of this. As for the question of whether this old man had used a clone of him to personally "experience" Xie Zhongtong¡¯s ability, that remained a mystery. Square and the rest of the people from the Mysterious Organization saw this. However, their mouths remained shut. After all, that expert was an old man. They still needed to show some respect to the elderly.

    Apart from all these participants, most of the gazes were concentrated on Wang Feng. They were aware that Wang Feng¡¯s recruitment into the organization was already a sure deal. However, they still wanted to see how strong this Wang Feng¡¯s survival skills were.

    Next... they saw an astonishing scene.

    Within the illusory world containing Wang Feng, one massacre after another happened.

    That¡¯s right. It was a massacre. Rather than those killers assassinating Wang Feng, it was Wang Feng who was ughtering them instead.

    "???"

    Everyone was dumbfounded.

    The few figureheads from the Mysterious Organization werepletely confused. They were the only ones here qualified to know the content of the tests. However, wasn¡¯t this illusory world Wang Feng was in somewhat bizarre? "Did you activate the wrong illusion on him?"

    Soon, they received the answer to their question: No.

    This was indeed a regr test illusory world. As for the reason this was happening, after careful observation, they finally understood. All their eyes widened as they exchanged nces with each other. This guy called Wang Feng... was truly vicious!

    What happened was quite simple. For example, when one was resting at some tavern and received news that there were assassins around trying to kill that person, what would one do?

    A lot of rookies would answer: "Scout the area before breaking out of their predicament."

    As for Wang Feng? He had chosen an easier method of dealing with this: take the initiative to attack by killing everyone around him!

    "Hiss¡ª"

    After figuring out what had happened, they inhaled mouthfuls of cold breath.

    How vicious! How cruel! Wang Feng was actually such a person!

    However, it was this very method of Wang Feng that caused their eyes to shine brightly. This was the exact kind of genius they were looking for! A vicious and merciless person, an iparably unwavering character!

    Since one would be a member of the Mysterious Organization instead of some charity organization, what should one be afraid of? It was better to kill a thousand people wrongfully than to let a single person off identally! This was Wang Feng¡¯s method of dealing with things.

    Soon, the final result was released. Unsurprisingly, Wang Feng still scored 100 points.

    "Good, very good."

    The emotions of the lot from the Mysterious Organization were already surging.

    Somewhat surprisingly, Xie Zhongtong had obtained a high score of 90 points as well. Apart from certain poison killing methods that she had failed to survive, she had been able to survive most of the killing methods. As for the reason for her high score... The several figureheads of the Mysterious Organization nced at the master illusionist whose face was presently flushed red and shut their mouths silently. That youngdy had used quite a bizarre method of obtaining this high score; however, it still showcased her capability in the end.

    A youngdy like this could be of use to the organization as well. For example, if the Mysterious Organization wanted to control or end a certain family, what should they do? They could deploy some experts to control and threaten that family. What if the family still refused to obey? The only thing they could do was exterminate the entire family.

    However, such a method was too risky. What if they had this youngdy in their ranks in the future? Mhm, a single Xie Zhongtong would be sufficient to take control of such a family. How simple. To a certain extent, this Xie Zhongtong could be considered a strategic resource.

    As of now, the fourth round was over. Most of the participants were already somewhat used to the method of testing as well by now. It was right at this moment that they were all surprised by the content of the fifth test.

    "This is..."

    Everyone widened their eyes. The shock was especially pronounced among those whose scores had only passed barely. For these people, they had prepared themselves to give their all in this round. Never had they imagined that this would be the content of the fifth round¡¯s test.

    "The hell."

    "It¡¯s over."

    "God damn it."

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, my average score is only 61 points!"

    "What should we do?"

    Everyone¡¯s expression darkened.

    Encountering such a test, everyone had an unsightly expression. Such a testing method was too vtile. Surprisingly, though, Chen Feng had an odd expression on his face.

    This is considered a test as well? These people from the Mysterious Organization are truly...

    For everyone else, such a test was akin to a scam. For Chen Feng, though, this was akin to free points to him, because the content of this test was luck!

    That¡¯s right, luck!

    Shua!

    Light started swirling around the field as a new illusory world was assembled.

    The initially lifelike world transformed into a simple-looking world of grids. In the whole world, only the participant alone remained, while below the participant¡¯s feet were numerous grids.

    Every single step forward, one would need to step on a grid. From each grid one stepped on, an enemy might appear, a treasure might appear, a reward might appear, or one might directly die. There was also a possibility of one receiving all sorts of buffs or debuffs from the grids.

    Naturally, there was also a possibility of nothing appearing.

    From where they stood until the end point, a total of 100 steps needed to be taken. The moment they died would also signify the end of this round for them. That would be their final score and result in this round. Furthermore, in this round, all sorts of scouting abilities would be rendered ineffective.

    For those participants whose scores had been hovering at the edge and had only barely passed so far, this was simply a huge scam. A single wrong step could very possibly eliminate them from the recruitment.

    "This is too huge a scam."

    "Why was this chosen as a testing method?"

    "God knows."

    Everyone started berating this without stop. Chen Feng was the only one who had a vague guess as to the intentions of the Mysterious Organization.

    Luck... Chen Feng contemted. Is it due to Spirit Sea wood?

    Was luck being used as a test rted to Spirit Sea wood? In his memories, he seemed to recall that people once mentioned that the badge of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s core members might have had apounding effect on one¡¯s luck.

    Within the Mysterious Organization, it was very possible that there existed a person with an ability rted to luck control!

    Instantly, Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

    The main purpose of this test was unknown. Nevertheless, he had to obtain first ce as well. Hence, the moment this round started, Chen Feng charged forth.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    In a short 10 seconds, Chen Feng reached the end point. Within these 10 seconds, he had not activated anything from the grids.

    A hundred points!

    End!

    Ding!

    "Wang Feng¡¯s round has ended. Luck score: 100 points."

    When the voice of the announcement resounded, everyone was stunned. What the hell? They had yet to even start, yet Wang Feng had already ended his round?

    What the heck was this?

    Everyone was dumbfounded.

    "Oh."

    "Perhaps the probability to trigger something is very low? This might be a round where free points are being given to us?" someone guessed.

    Perhaps the Mysterious Organization had taken into consideration the fact that participants in the current year¡¯s recruitment had all performed quite well and had therefore decided to set up this round as a round to give them free points?

    "That seems likely."

    Someone became excited and ran several steps forward in a single moment.

    Subsequently, poison, treasure, and all sorts of buffs were triggered and activated on him. Next, that participant was killed midway.

    Shua!

    The whole world sunk into silence.

    Those who were still excited and eager to give this a try were now perspiring all over. Only now did they realize the terror of this so-called luck-based test.

    "Be careful."

    "For something like this, if you actually use your brain, it will be simpler. Although luck will still y a big role in this, that does not necessarily mean that the participants must charge forth without thinking."

    Everyone¡¯s heart trembled.

    After a long time, apanied by a never-ending wave of mournful cries, the test ended.

    Over!

    Once again, Chen Feng became the undisputed first-ce holder.

    "Very good."

    Square was excited. Based on their initial agreement, this Wang Feng guy would belong to him. Unexpectedly, just as he prepared to take Wang Feng away, he was stopped.

    Mu Wufa blocked in front of Square. "You can¡¯t take this guy."

    Square red at him. "Why?"

    "Because your research department is incapable of nurturing a person of such outstanding talent."

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the technical school, most of the onlookers watching the recruitment process were those from the Mysterious Organization. Now that the results had been released, most of the gazes there were concentrated on people like Wang Feng and Xie Zhongtong. These were those who might end up as the upper levels in the Mysterious Organization in the future.

    Numerous people started approaching them. "Lady Xie, are you interested in joining our department..."

    "Wang Feng, are you..."

    "What are you all doing?" Mu Wufa was furious. "Don¡¯t forget that the new recruits in this batch belong to us. The most you guys can get is one of them."

    They sneered. "And we can¡¯t select Wang Feng because...?"

    Initially, when they had agreed that they could get one of the new recruits, the ranking of the new recruit hadn¡¯t been specified. Mu Wufa himself was aware that, most of the time, it would be hard to keep the first-ce holder for themselves. As such, he had decided to just let these people fight over him. However, the first-ce holder this time was too special. That guy called Wang Feng had simply crushed allpetition in the tests. That terrifying performance of his had been so dazzling it had almost blinded everyone there.

    This was an absolute genius! A super genius that they could not let go!

    "Wang Feng..."

    "Hello, Wang Feng..."

    Seeing how everyone was surrounding Wang Feng, Mu Wufa clenched his teeth and retreated noiselessly. At times like this, he could only let the old man take the helm. A genius like this had to be kept for themselves!

    "What¡¯s the rush? Why not let him make his own choice?" A middle-aged man walked into the crowd unhurriedly. As everyone nced at him, they were startled. That was Tang Lan! It was him!

    Tang Lan slowly said, "It¡¯s pointless for you guys to fight over him in such a manner. We might as well let him make his own choice."

    Without any trace of politeness, Square said, "Scram! If he is allowed to make his choice, he will definitely choose to stay with you. Let me tell you, anyone here can obtain Wang Feng¡ªanyone except you!"

    "That¡¯s right. Old Tang, go away."

    Everyone started chiding Old Tang.

    What a joke. It was fine if it was anyone else, but for Tang Lan to obtain Wang Feng? This guy was known as the destroyer of geniuses. In the Mysterious Organization, he was in charge of a core lifeline of the organization, the Spirit Sea wood. Due to that, those with good luck would normally be taken away by him. Next... those people¡¯s luck would be absorbed. It was said that those who were taken and subsequently abandoned by Tang Lan suffered incredibly bad luck from then on.

    Normally, those taken by Tang Lan to have their luck absorbed were those who only possessed good luck and nothing else. As such, nobody had been bothered. But now that his sights were set on Wang Feng? Impossible. If they allowed such a talent to be destroyed by Tang Lan, the leader would definitely kill them all!

    Tang Lang sneered. "Who says I¡¯m nning to absorb his luck? This time, I am looking for someone to be nurtured and receive my inheritance."

    "Inheritance?"

    At that, everyone sunk into a solemn mood. Wang Feng was already at such a height? Even Tang Lan, the luck controller, had chosen Wang Feng as an heir? Did this not mean that Wang Feng¡¯s potential was... even more astonishing than they had imagined?

    But if that was the case, it was even more important that they not give up on Wang Feng.

    Square red at Tang Lan. "Even so, that still does not mean that you have priority on him."

    Everyone else beside him started berating Tang Lan as well.

    Tang Lan smiled calmly. "This decision is not up to you anyway."

    As for Chen Feng, who was surrounded by everyone, he hadn¡¯t spoken a single word.

    His initial n had been to obtain first ce and leave with Square. Unexpectedly, a mere first ce had rmed so many people. Was this necessary?

    Chen Feng had a bewildered expression on his face.

    Evidently, he had still underestimated the Mysterious Organization¡¯s thirst toward a person of talent, especially a talent at his level.

    So... he had identally shown off too much?

    Chen Feng sighed. This was truly an ident. Since he had only obtained 10 points in the first round, he had decided that he would have to work hard to obtain first ce overall. This had resulted in him erupting and going all out. Unexpectedly, he had somewhat overerupted...

    What should he do now?

    Chen Feng was feeling vexed as well. He had initially believed that he would be able to enter the research department smoothly. Outside of his expectations, so many guys had popped out to fight over him. Moreover, from what he had seen, these people seemed to be even higher in rank than that Square guy...

    At this thought, Chen Feng¡¯s head ached. Unfortunately for him, now that so many big shots were here, he could do nothing except silently wait for the final result.

    Tang Lan, Square, and the rest continued their argument, almost breaking out into a fight. There were also some who had noticed that it was quite hopeless for them to get Wang Feng and had decided to recruit other participants that were alsoparatively talented instead before leaving.

    As for the rest of the participants, even though they had also simrly passed the test, they were currently being ignored.

    As for those participants who had failed the test, including Wang Jiu and the rest, these people were led away by a fatty who said, "Mhm, congrattions, everyone, you have all failed."

    Everyone: "..."

    Failing was also worth congratting?

    "It is only natural for even failing to be worth congratting." Bro fatty nced at them and continued, "There were a total of around 450 participants in this batch. Ultimately, 380 participants passed. Those who failed like us are instead the minority. However... among the over-300 participants who passed, only 100 of them remain alive at present. Even among them, the highest they can reach in the future is probably being a middle-tier member of the organization. Is this what you want? A job with high mortality rate and low ie? To be honest, I rejoice in the fact that I failed the recruitment. Mhm... you guys, after redeeming the promised rewards, you guys can return to your respective homes. Even after this, you guys can still fight hard for our organization and continue enjoying the benefits provided by the organization."

    A proud smile appeared on brother fatty¡¯s face as he concluded, "From now on, you all have to work hard. For the sake of the organization, look for your significant other and make babies!" Bro fatty continued to earnestly lecture the failed participants. "Only by casting the wide can we catch more fish. Everyone, go out and spread your seed. It would be best if every single one of you created an entire nation¡¯s worth of offspring. Mhm... the future of the organization will rest on your shoulders!"

    After finishing his speech, brother fatty moved his short legs and walked away, leaving behind the failed participants with bewildered expression on their faces as they exchanged nces with each other.

    So they could still contribute to the organization! Next, this group of people who had been brainwashed by the organization became filled with fighting spirit. Make more babies! Breed more manpower for the organization!

    They left with their newfound confidence. They might becking when it came to their future potential, but they were still capable of being healthy stallions, of being breeding machines for the organization.

    Perhaps in the future, a countless amount of new subsidiary families would once again emerge. After all, this was also how the current existing subsidiary families of the Mysterious Organization hade into being. Every failed participant of each recruitment batch would leave to create a brand new family. After about ten or more years, the family would grow in strength.

    After all, these younglings here who had just failed were all offspring of the older generation that had also simrly failed the recruitment process back then. For certain matters, when one contemted it in detail, the details that emerged could truly be terrifying.

    Presently, a lot of people had already finished making their choice. Only the issue of Wang Feng¡¯s whereabouts was still being fought over.

    Tang Yan¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "These guys..."

    He couldn¡¯t continue on this way. This would merely be a waste of time, since there were too many people here wanting to have Wang Feng for themselves. Moreover, each of them was unwilling to concede, resulting in their discussion being fruitless.

    Perhaps...

    As he thought of his n, silently, he activated his ability.

    "Hehe. Let me..."

    Tang Lan stepped forth and prepared to take Chen Feng away. However, surprising everyone there, right at this instant, a resplendent white radiance descended. Above the technical school, a huge silhouette appeared.

    That is...

    The people there raised their heads to look at the silhouette and were immediately overwhelmed with shock.

    In the air, the silhouette solidified, forming a person. On that person¡¯s forehead was a stone that was glinting dazzlingly akin to a diamond, a stone that was very simr to what Lu Hun had on his forehead. The only difference from Lu Hun¡¯s stone was the white radiance emitting from of this stone.

    White!

    Chen Feng was rmed. Another super expert!

    He looked at Chen Feng warmly. "Child. Do you know who I am?"

    Chen Feng shook his head. "No."

    How was he supposed to know this guy?

    However, looking at how all these elders were those with diamonds of white, green, yellow, and the like on their forehead, perhaps these were the legendary QQ diamond members? 1

    "I am the master of the White Church." His eyes were radiating kindness. Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s consciousness started fading.

    This feeling...

    Tang Lan hastily interrupted him. "Master Mu!" If this senior was allowed to brainwash Wang Feng, Tang Lan would truly no longer be able to take Wang Feng away.

    That person merely snorted as the white radiance started descending. "Hmph!" The expert called Master Mu was a person with a natural air of dignity around him. His body radiated a dreadful power, and in his presence, nobody there dared to move.

    Master Mu red at Tang Lan. "I have yet to even punish you for using your ability here earlier. Do you truly believe that I don¡¯t dare to teach you a lesson?"

    Tang Lan could only smile bitterly as a response.

    Finally, Square and the rest realized the reason they¡¯d had a sudden feeling that it was fine for them to lose Wang Feng and had not bothered stopping Tang Lan when he had been trying to take Wang Feng away earlier...

    They were all furious. "Damn it. You dared to use your ability?!"

    Tang Lan smiled bitterly. "I¡¯m sorry. I had no alternative. Please forgive me."

    They all snorted as a response. "Hmph!"

    Tang Yan gulped as he nced at the Mu Wufa who was returning. "Master Mu." With that, how could he not understand the reason for Master Mu¡¯s appearance here? That Mu Wufa bastard had actually asked for his help! God damn it!

    With an expert at Master Mu¡¯s level here, Tang Lan would most probably fail to obtain Wang Feng!

    "You are all acting too willfully!"

    "Just for a new recruit, you guys are even utilizing your abilities? Perhaps you guys are nning to kill each other and create rivers of blood while you are at it?" Master Mu¡¯s imposing gazended on everyone as he uttered these words. These words of his shamed them all.

    "The Mysterious Organization ces great importance on freedom and fairness. Since you guys are unable to reach an agreement, why don¡¯t we let Wang Feng make his own choice? I believe that would be the best solution here," Master Mu suggested calmly.

    Instinctively, everyone else nodded in agreement. Immediately after, though, they all felt that something somewhere was off.

    Not good!

    As they realized what was going on, they tried to stop it. Unfortunately, it was already toote. "Master Mu!"

    After finishing his words, Master Mu totally ignored them. His gaze was concentrated on Wang Feng as he asked, "Child, who are you willing to follow?"

    Hum¡ª

    A faint white radiance started dispersing. This was a terrifying power an ordinary person would not be able to detect.

    Bang!

    From Chen Feng¡¯s point of view, the world before his eyes started flitting past as a brand new world descended upon him. As for the Master Mu that had just descended from the sky, from Chen Feng¡¯s point of view, this person had stepped into his brain and was now enveloping him in a warm power.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. This... it¡¯s this power again?!

    White Church... The so-called White Church was most probably the official religion of the Mysterious Organization. As for this Master Mu, he was evidently on the level of an ancestor when it came to brainwashing. That terrifying power he had disyed had nearly caused Chen Feng to pledge his allegiance to him then and there.

    Fortunately, Chen Feng was extremely clear on his purpose here. His vision blurred as he summoned Xiao Ying as an instinctual response.

    Shua!

    Next, a terrifying power gushed out as the white radiance that filled his body disappeared. At that instant, Chen Feng¡¯s hazy sea of consciousness regained its rity.

    Chen Feng sneered. Wanting to brainwash me? The power contained in that sentence uttered by that Master Mu earlier had evidently been insufficient to brainwash Chen Feng.

    At the same time, as everyone there felt that faint power of Master Mu, their hearts chilled.

    It was over! Master Mu had chosen to make his move after all. With this old man making a move personally here, they simply had no chance. That terrifying brainwashing radiance was something that could even affect an A ss. Just see, even with the strength of all these people here, they had all been led into agreeing with Master Mu earlier.

    They were certain that Master Mu had definitely used his ability on them earlier. However, what could they do about it?

    "Sigh."

    Even Square could only sigh as a response.

    He felt that this was truly unfortunate. Nowadays, the art of researching was no longer the same. As a researcher, one had to be sufficiently powerful as well in order to ensure control over the research subject. On top of that, a sufficient amount of talent was required as well. As such, a brand new genius that was akin to a nk piece of paper would prove extremely useful. Only such a person would be able to grow speedily as they participated in the projects of the research department. As for those who were already extremely experienced in a lot of prior projects, these people wouldn¡¯t be able to progress or grow as much as a new recruit, since they would have a certain amount of bias due to their existing experience.

    Strength, potential, and luck? Even when it came to researching, luck was also essential! This Wang Feng was simply the perfect candidate for his research department.

    It had been truly unfortunate. If he had been made aware of what a freak this Wang Feng was, he would have looked for his master for help as well. Now that a senior like this Master Mu had made his move, juniors like them no longer stood any chance.

    From the moment Master Mu had asked Wang Feng that question, they had already known the iing answer.

    Surprising everyone there, though, was the fact that when Wang Feng opened his mouth, the words were: "I choose him."

    Everyone¡¯s gazended where Wang Feng¡¯s hand was pointing. Instantly, their eyes all widened, because Wang Feng was actually pointing at that damnable Square guy.

    "How is this possible?"

    Everyone else was dumbfounded.

    Square? That shouldn¡¯t have been possible. No matter what, Square shouldn¡¯t have been the one chosen! Although he was quite good in regards to researching and had quite the formidablebat power as well, with Master Mu here, he was akin to a bug with no methods of resisting.

    As they looked at Square, they noted that even Square himself appeared at a loss at this new development.

    Evidently, he was unaware of what had happened as well.

    Instinctively, Master Mu tried to once again use his ability. "Wang Feng..." This time, though, everyone was able to react timely to it. This was especially true for Square, as they all acted to interrupt Master Mu immediately.

    Master Mu¡¯s expression turned unsightly. However, he still ultimately chose to not go against what he had said earlier and so stopped using his ability.

    Master Mu narrowed his eyes. "I only want to know, why did you choose him?"

    Everyone else¡¯s heart trembled. From this single question, a trace of killing intent could be felt. This was not killing intent resulting from the threat Wang Feng might potentially pose for not choosing to join him. Rather, this killing intent was something resulting from the fact that Wang Feng was able to ignore his ability. One had to know that this was a power even an A ss could not escape from. It would work on an A-ss expert for at least several seconds before the effect faded.

    "I have no idea..." Chen Feng scratched his head in a confused manner. "Earlier, some sort of power seemed to be affecting me. But just as I was about to make my choice, a different power appeared...both powers started fighting each other, freeing me of any influence for a split second. Afraid that my state of mind would once again be affected, I decided to raise my hand and point randomly in a single direction," Chen Feng said, finishing his exnation calmly.

    Everyone: "..."

    Randomly? The hell? How lucky was this Square guy?

    Square was immensely satisfied with this result. "Thanks, everyone, thanks."

    As for the initially calm and collected Master Mu, he was already ashen faced. Wang Feng¡¯s exnation had been somewhat vague. However, he knew that in such a situation the only power capable of interrupting his ability was a power belonging to only a single person here! Only that damnable power of luck could interrupt him!

    Master Mu was furious. "Tang Lan!"

    Bang!

    With a sh of white, the bloodied body of Tang Lang was flung away.

    Tang Lan was copsing emotionally. "It wasn¡¯t me." It truly had not been him! Even if he was an idiot, he would know better than to provoke Master Mu!

    Unfortunately, despite the strength of the others here, they all possessed an ability or power of a lower tier. As such, here, only his power of luck had been capable of interrupting Master Mu¡¯s earlier baptism. That was also the reason Master Mu had singled him out.

    Bang!

    The bloodied Tang Lan felt that he would not be able to clear his name no matter what now.

    "Master Mu."

    As for the rest, hastily, they started begging Master Mu to forgive Tang Lan.

    "Hmph!" Mu Ye snorted and said, "This is what will happen to one who dares to use his ability here. Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s only some external wounds to teach him a lesson. However, don¡¯t even dream of ending this matter here so easily. Send his elder brother a message. Tell him toe here with five million to redeem his brother."

    Shua!

    With a sh of white, Master Mu left coldly. Only at this did everyone breath out in relief and proceed to look at Square with envy.

    Look at this, this was a person profiting over the quarrels of others in the truest sense.

    What the hell, why hadn¡¯t Wang Feng¡¯s finger pointed at them when he had been pointing randomly earlier?

    Square patted Chen Feng¡¯s shoulder in a gratified manner. "Very good, very good. Let¡¯s go. Let me show you our department." The overjoyed Square dragged Chen Feng as they left. Soon, the both of them could no longer be seen. In Chen Feng¡¯s eyes, a dim radiance was simmering.

    If it¡¯s the research department... Mysterious Organization! Here I am!

 Chapter 336: At Cloudswarm Mountain

    Chapter 336: At Cloudswarm Mountain

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Cloudswarm Mountain.

    In this mountain range of numerous mountains enveloped by dark clouds, numerous iparably enormous buildings stood. This was a mountain range no outsiders could approach. The dark cloud enveloping this ce also functioned as a blocker of all electromaic induction and signals from the outside world. The energy contained within the air here was powerful enough to defend against all attacks below A ss. This was precisely the headquarters of the Mysterious Organization.

    Presently, a certain symbolic building that was filled with cold radiance was being used to lock up a girl who appeared to be 13 or 14 years old.

    The girl was seated on the ground in her red clothing. Despite the shackles all over her body, she still appeared incredibly serene. The few B-ss gic warriors guarding the door asionally nced inside to ensure the girl was still there before proceeding to once again ignore everything in the building.

    They weren¡¯t really cking by ignoring everything in the building. Rather, they did not have the courage to get too involved with anything that was happening in there. This girl had only been imprisoned here for a short while, yet a total of 30 B-ss warriors had already perished here. As for the number of C-ss warriors providing support here who had perished, their numbers were so numerous one couldn¡¯t even begin to count them. On top of that, all this had happened even when the girl was locked within a cage built from a special material.

    For an unknown reason, even after her power had been sealed and all her limbs chained using the shackles built using the special material, she was still able to easily break free. Those energies and seals seemed useless when used against her.

    Under normal situations, a prisoner of this level would be monitored 24 hours a day. Even when a prisoner was having a meal or going to the toilet, someone would monitor that person at all times, but for this youngdy... all their equipment would be rendered ineffective if it neared her.

    Fortunately, the organization had subsequently sent over an elder that was formidable in containment. Only after setting up a unique formation to lock the whole building down had the girl been sessfully imprisoned.

    Even so, the only thing they had aplished was locking her in the building, nothing else.

    "Wang Yao..."

    When they exchanged nces, they could see the iparable fear each of them had toward her. It was rumored that this girl had already killed a countless amount of A-ss warriors of the organization. Even now when she was a mere prisoner, she was still akin to reincarnation of horror itself.

    Now, apart from delivering her meals, nobody dared to approach her. Based on the request from the upper levels, only when the research project on her activated would they truly make their move on her. As for now, the priority was to keep her locked here.

    "As long as the door is guarded, it should be fine," one of the B-ss warriors said.

    The other person nodded in agreement. "Mhm."

    Presently, they were all looking forward to the return of their leader. As long as the leader returned and this girl was taken away for the research project, everything would be fine. She was simply too dangerous a person. Even the mere act of standing guard here caused their backs to chill.

    Suddenly, a group of people could be seen marching toward them. After taking a look at the neers, the two guards stood straight and greeted, "Captain."

    This person called captain was the newest A-ss expert sent here by the upper levels. "Mhm."

    After the continuous death of B-ss warriors, the upper levels had decided to send a formation master here. Apart from that, an A-ss expert had been sent over here as well.

    "Mhm." The captain nodded his head as a response to their greeting and said, "Open the door. I¡¯m going in to take a look."

    Instantly, the heart of that B-ss warrior chilled. "Ah? Captain, it might be dangerous inside."

    The captain snorted coldly. "I told you, I¡¯m going in. It is only dangerous for people like you. I am A ss. I do not fear Wang Yao even in her peak condition..." Right as his words came to this point, he felt like he had probably bluffed too much and corrected himself. "Even if I can¡¯t defeat her when she¡¯s in peak condition, I will still be able to escape. Now that she is locked down, what¡¯s there to fear? Even if she manages to break her bindings, she won¡¯t have much strength left in her." Calmly, the captainmanded, "Open the door."

    "Please wait a while." The B-ss warrior nced inside and noticed that Wang Yao was still seated cross-legged there. Only after confirming that all the switches of the shackles on her were in normal condition did he breath out in relief and start to carefully unlock the door.

    He gulped before advising the captain, "Captain... pleasee out immediately after asking your questions."

    The captain sneered without a trace of politeness. "What a coward."

    Shua!

    With a big stride, he stepped into the building. The whole building had already been emptied, leaving nothing except the ice-cold blue radiance swirling within the building. Evidently, this blue radiance was the thing restricting Wang Yao¡¯s power. After arriving here, the captain could also feel clearly that his power was being suppressed to a certain extent. Fortunately, he was not the main target of the suppression. As such, the effect of the suppression on him wasn¡¯t too severe.

    At the center of the building was Wang Yao, the cold radiance within the building shining upon her akin to a spotlight. The mash of the blue radiance and her fiery red skirt was giving off a bizarre glow. All around her were thick and solid chains, locking up her four limbs. Only when sitting cross-legged right in the middle of the building was she able to move her body freely.

    The captain looked at the youngdy in front of him. "Wang Yao..." She could be considered lucky, in a certain way, to be qualified for such suppression from the organization at this age.

    Wang Yao opened her eyes calmly. "What is it?"

    "I have a question for you." The captain lowered his voice. "Someone wanted me to ask you about something, hehe..."

    Just as he was about to ask his question, to his shock, he noticed that the body of Wang Yao, which had been locked down by countless shackles, suddenly became nearly transparent. Next, Wang Yao¡¯s hand vanished just like that.

    ng!

    The chains originally shackled onto that hand fell onto the ground with a loud ng.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Two shes streaked past the air.

    When she reappeared, Wang Yao had already left her previous position. After leaving her previous position, the suppression from that terrifying blue radiance weakened greatly, allowing her to regain some of her strength. After regaining a fraction of her strength, noiselessly, she streaked past the captain.

    Pu.

    Blood sttered around.

    The captain widened his eyes and wore an unbelieving expression before copsing loudly onto the ground.

    Wang Yao merely gave him a single indifferent nce before ignoring him. Rather, she was staring at her right hand that had previously vanished. Currently, it was recovering to its normal appearance.

    How many times has this happened?

    "Time..." Wang Yao muttered, "I don¡¯t have much time left."

    She had intentionally allowed herself to be captured just for this goal of hers! However, this mission was too dangerous. Even if there was a possibility of it seeding, she stillcked confidence. The sess rate should be around 30%.

    "There is still a chance," Wang Yao muttered. Her tiny hand rubbed themunication tool on her wristband as she hesitated before stopping. If she were to die, the only people she would owe was probably Chen Feng. After all, she had yet to do him the three favors she had promised him.

    She hadn¡¯t told him anything before doing this so as to avoid him getting too worried. She was aware that Chen Feng was extremely talented. However, he was still too weak at this time. A mission at this level was too dangerous; he was not capable of helping much. As such, telling him would only result in him being worried with no other benefits. If this mission of hers ended smoothly, she would naturally tell Chen Feng after returning. If she failed... one of them would be in the realm of the dead, while the other would be in the realm of the living. In that case, there was no longer any need to update him on anything.

    "Hopefully, we will meet once again."

    Wang Yao looked at the entrance. The moment the captain had been killed, the B-ss warrior standing guard had already shut the door, cold sweat all over him. Now, the whole building had once again been sealed shut.

    Bang!

    Instantly, the blue radiance intensified.

    After the captain¡¯s death, the blue radiance in the whole building bloomed and started shining down upon her at full power. Apart from that, more than 10 A-ss experts rushed over hastily.

    Wang Yao shook her head before returning to her previous position in the middle of the room in silence. Arriving there, she sat down cross-legged and shut her eyes to continue resting.

    By the time those people arrived here, armed to the teeth, the only thing weing them was an ice-cold corpse. A magnificent A-ss warrior was dead here, just like that.

    "You..."

    They gulped, yet none of them dared to approach Wang Yao.

    A ss! That was an A ss! Even an A ss was so helpless before her. How powerful was this youngdy, exactly? It was unknown. Perhaps the information they had on Wang Yao had already be outdated long ago.

 Chapter 337: Start of Experiment

    Chapter 337: Start of Experiment

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "How did you break free?" asked a grandmaster that specialized in formations, his head aching as he saw the perfectly fine chains left on the ground. How many times had this happened? Every single time, the same thing happened. Her ability had obviously been sealed away. These chains had obviously been improved countless times. However, Wang Yao was still able to break free of the chains and start raging and killing. Even though their attention was always focused here, they had still failed to rescue the A-ss expert in time before he had been killed by Wang Yao.

    The most dreadful part of all this was the fact that the chains were all still intact.

    They suspected that Wang Yao possessed space- and me-rted abilities. As such, both abilities had already been sealed. Theoretically, Wang Yao should not be able to break free of the chains.

    Everything here, the building included, had been specially prepared just to deal with Wang Yao alone. Toward the question, Wang Yao did not respond. The grandmaster merely gave her a deep nce before saying, "Go."

    Shua!

    Led by the grandmaster, they all left.

    Some of them pointed at the chains. "Those chains..."

    The grandmaster shook his head. "Take them back, then. Since they are useless against her, there¡¯s no need to keep using them on her."

    "All right."

    After they left, under the grandmaster¡¯smand, the whole building was once again fully sealed.

    The outeryer of the building had been reinforced a countless amount of times as well. Even if Wang Yao was able to escape the inner room, she would most certainly fail to escape from here. Initially, meals had been delivered to her three times per day. Now, it had been changed to once per three days. A person at Wang Yao¡¯s level would not starve to death anyway.

    Before the research project began, they had to avoid anything untoward happening. Even if their chains were useless against her, they had to ensure that Wang Yao was locked tight within the building. Just as they busied themselves for Wang Yao, one particr day... Square returned!

    It was also rumored that he wasing back with an incredibly talented genius new recruit.

    "New recruit?"

    "Yeah, I heard that he was someone Square met while he went out on a discussion. When he was about to return, he brought this new recruit with him to join this new project."

    "The hell, as a new recruit, he is already allowed to join a project? Back then, I had to spend yearspleting missions and going through countless dangers before I got the chance to join a project."

    "I heard that this new recruit is extremely talented."

    "Even if he is talented, that won¡¯t do, right? This is too excessive."

    Everyone started berating the new recruit.

    Evidently, this new recruit that had appeared out of nowhere wasn¡¯t particrly wee. Even here, everyone was aware of the importance of this new project. The upper levels had, for the first time, approved an unlimited budget for this project. As such, the members of nearly all other projects were vying to join this new project.

    A single look at the level of the defense system ced on Wang Yao was sufficient to showcase the importance of this project.

    This Wang Yao was a person the upper levels had personally captured to be put into research. As long as their research bore results, it would be a gargantuan contribution to the organization.

    With this, who wouldn¡¯t want to join the project?

    Since the vacancy of the new project was limited, the appearance of this new recruit that had snatched one of the vacancies just like that caused these people to feel extremely unwell.

    "I heard that boss only went out to submit the application for this project. Why did he bring someone back instead?"

    "What else could the reason be? Coincidentally, the organization was holding a recruitment process. Since he saw someone he was satisfied with over there, he brought that guy back."

    "True."

    Everyone discussed without stop.

    The next day, Square, with the new recruit in tow, returned formally to the department.

    With that, project "MIMK-039" was officially activated as well. The main goal of the project was to figure out a way to unlock more potential within a human. They had once thought that humanity had already unearthed all potential avable in a human¡¯s body. However, Wang Yao¡¯s appearance had seemingly opened up the gateway to a brand new world.

    If they could figure out the secrets of Wang Yao... If they could figure out the reason this youngdy was so powerful... If...

    This was the actual reason the Mysterious Organization was willing to allocate such a huge amount of resources to this project.

    To capture Wang Yao, the Mysterious Organization¡¯s leader had personally made a move. Moreover, as bait for Wang Yao, a project at the rank of "world threat" had been sacrificed. Only with that had Wang Yao taken their bait. To capture her, the Mysterious Organization had paid an extremely high price. As such, a corresponding amount of return had to be made now that she had been captured.

    Three days would be used to prepare for this project. After three days, the project would officially kick off.

    As a supergenius, it was natural for Wang Feng to be brought into the project by Square directly. As for all the criticism and those who tried to spread rumors, all these people were directly suppressed by Square.

    Only those who had attended the recruitment process were aware of how astonishing Wang Feng¡¯s talent was. Those people were thinking of suppressing such a person? Were their brains damaged?

    In a straightforward manner, Square gave Wang Feng the highest scope of authority and all sorts of resources. Within these three days, all the methods capable of giving one a rapid improvement in strength without hurting one¡¯s body or potential were provided to Wang Feng. This top-notch service enabled Wang Feng tofortably increase his strength greatly.

    "High-tier C ss, not bad." Square was extremely satisfied. "You are still extremely weak. However, this strength is already enough for you to participate in this project."

    Henceforth, the project was activated. A single A ss, a bunch of B sses, and a single C-ss Wang Feng were involved in the project. Anger simmered in the eyes of a lot of people whenever their gazesnded on Wang Feng. However, they were helpless against him.

    Chen Feng feigned an uncaring facade as he asked, "Where are we performing the tests?"

    Even after several days here, he had yet to hear any news regarding Wang Yao. The only thing he had been able to do was wait. Now that the project was going to start, Wang Yao should finally appear before him, right?

    Square smiled profoundly. "There."

    Chen Feng looked in the direction Square was pointing and noticed a huge tower.

    Square¡¯s deep voice responded, "That youngdy is too dangerous. Hence, she was locked in there. To ensure the safety of our base and our test objects, we must perform the tests in that building."

    Chen Feng widened his eyes. "In there?"

    "Yes." Square shrugged and continued, "You will understand when you get there."

    Soon, they reached the entrance of the tower.

    Chen Feng raised his head and started looking around. This was an extremely tall tower with a crystal on it. One could see that the upper part of the tower wasprised of some sort of energy and a formation that was being used to suppress the lower part of the tower.

    The emotions of the B-ss guards surged as they saw their leader. "Boss."

    "Prepare to start."

    "Yes."

    Everyone was overjoyed.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The huge building in front of them started reassembling itself. The upperyer of the tower started rotating as a certain mysterious power started leaking out of it. The power of this leaked power was extremely terrifying. As for Square and the rest, they were standing there waiting.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. "How is it?"

    Shua!

    Noiselessly, a red sh streaked out under his feet into the underground. Due to the unique property of Xiao Ying¡¯s body, it was something no one could detect. It remained in the illusory world all the way until it reached the inside of the building before it reappeared in the real world. Surprisingly, the blue radiance within the building was rather unique. Even Xiao Ying was somewhat suppressed by it. As such, Xiao Ying had no choice but to start dodging the blue radiance.

    Chen Feng was shocked. "What a powerful suppression."

    Even with Xiao Ying¡¯s strength, it failed to press forth and was forced to stop there. How dreadful was the suppression that Wang Yao was being subjected to farther inside the building? Moreover, this blue radiance was merely the regr radiance of the tower. As the tower started operating at full power, endless radiance started solidifying midair and swirling around beforending on Wang Yao¡¯s limbs. This radiance was nearly simr to what they had at the outeryer of the tower. With this, Wang Yao would definitely fail to escape. However, the price they paid for using this was extremely high as well. Hence, they would only activate this when performing their experiments.

    Ka!

    Ka!

    Instantly, Wang Yao¡¯s body was fixed still on the test tform.

    Square was extremely satisfied. "Very good. Let¡¯s go."

    They entered the tower, and soon, the test apparatuses were all prepared.

    Square coldly said, "Let¡¯s start. Prepare to extract Wang Yao¡¯s blood."

    The assistant obeyed hismand. "All right."

    However, just as they neared the test tform, something astonishing happened. Wang Yao¡¯s right hand actually vanished before reappearing out of the chains.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Her body flickered several times, and next, she waspletely free of the chains.

    "Shua!"

    An ice-cold ray of light streaked toward Square.

    Wang Yao¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. She was aware that here in this area, this square-faced man was the leader. As long as he was killed, she would be able to achieve her goal within a short time.

    Kill!

    Bang!

    Wang Yao erupted with all her power.

    Even under the blue radiance¡¯s suppression, Wang Yao was still erupting at full power. The power of me and space gathered together and charged toward Square.

    Surprisingly, though, at this moment, a smile appeared on Square¡¯s face.

 Chapter 338: Fleshy

    Chapter 338: Fleshy

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    A smile appeared on Square¡¯s face. "I have been waiting a long time for you."

    Bang!

    All of Wang Yao¡¯s attacks started solidifying in front of him. Fire and space interwove, and almost all the power unleashed by Wang Yao was fixed in the air as an ice-cold chunk of rock.

    This is... petrification!

    Even the non-solid attack that Wang Yao had unleashed was able to be petrified!

    Shua!

    Seeing that her attack had failed, Wang Yao unleashed another attack instantly. However, Square seemed to have seen iting, as he was able to easily block her punch.

    With his right hand in front of him, Square blocked the attack easily.

    Ka!

    Square sneered. "Hehe. You are indeed worthy of being this organization¡¯s most wanted person. Even after being captured, you are still so dangerous. I suppose that in the future, it is still better to first kill an enemy of your level, since keeping someone like you alive is a disaster in waiting. But now, though, since we have paid such a huge price to keep you here, we have to proceed with our research on you. Am I right?" In a low voice, Square said, "This research wasmissioned by the upper levels themselves."

    Bang!

    While talking, his power started surging. A small part of Wang Yao¡¯s fist that had punched out earlier started petrifying. She could no longer push forward toward Square. Rather, she was being forced back by him. Presently, she was unable to beat him. Even getting near him was something unachievable for the current her.

    Wang Yao bit her lips and urged the power within her. However, her fist that was only half a meter from Square seemed to be unmoving, unable to move even a single inch further.

    "Under normal circumstances, I would naturally not be your opponent. But now..." Square raised his head and looked at the simted starry sky above him.

    When they had entered the building earlier, the blue radiance above them had intensified. As such, the suppression on Wang Yao now was even stronger than before. The amount of strength she could unleash was less than 10% of her total strength. As such, how could she be an opponent of Square¡¯s?

    "Be obedient and lie down," Square shouted coldly.

    Ka!

    Ka!

    After the shout, he exerted additional pressure in his hand. The petrification power started spreading. As a result, both Wang Yao¡¯s right fist and the attack she had unleashed earlier slowly lost their power due to the petrification. Soon, she would bepletely under Square¡¯s control.

    Wang Yao¡¯s mood dimmed. Indeed... is this still too difficult for me? She knew she shouldn¡¯t underestimate the Mysterious Organization. Unfortunately, she had no other choice, since she did not have much time left. Coming here was her only choice.

    That project is going to start very soon, right?

    Disappointment and frustration filled her.

    Ka!

    Even the little amount of power she had left was gradually leaving her.

    She sighed inwardly. I won¡¯t be able to hold any longer.

    It had always been said that, at the moment of death, the memories of one¡¯s whole life would sh before one¡¯s eyes. Wang Yao had previously believed that this would be the case for her as well. Unexpectedly, though, the only person appearing in her shback was... Chen Feng!

    Perhaps he was the one and only spark of light in this entire dark life of hers. She did not regret death, as this was something she had epted long ago.

    Her vision started darkening. But... if... if... if I could see him onest time before my death, wouldn¡¯t that be wonderful?

    That malevolent face of Square¡¯s was akin to a fiend that had crawled out of hell itself. His strength seemed to be increasing, as Wang Yao was increasingly unable to resist him. Suddenly, before her eyes, an odd radiance appeared and erupted.

    Bang!

    The sounds of an explosion traveled to her ears.

    Next, that iparably immense power in front of her seemed to instantly vanish. Suddenly, she was able to easily st her power into Square¡¯s body.

    Pu!

    Square¡¯s chest was directly prated.

    This...

    Wang Yao¡¯s indistinct vision cleared up. The scene of the crew members of the research project sprawled all over the ground weed her. rming her, a surgical knife had been stabbed into Square¡¯s body. Wang Yao recognized that knife, since that was what Square had prepared to use on her earlier. Now, though, it had been stabbed into his own body instead.

    Wang Yao¡¯s gazended on the spot behind Square. There stood a youngster in a uniform. The youth took off his uniform and shed of the disguise on his face, revealing his true appearance.

    It¡¯s you... At this instant, Wang Yao¡¯s heart seemed to stop beating. Chen... Chen Feng? She stared in daze at this person standing before her. It really is him! This person who was only C ss, who could only reach B-ssbat power at most, this person who was so far away from the peak A-ss Wang Yao, at her moment of danger, he had appeared.

    Chen Feng walked to her and touched her. "You have gotten fatter. Mhm... your face is bing quite fleshy now."

    Wang Yao: "..."

    Under normal circumstances, she would have sent Chen Feng flying with a kick long ago. Now, though, for an indescribable reason, the only thing she felt was warmth.

    It¡¯s good that you can be here.

    Presently, beside them, Square was witnessing this scene in daze. No matter what, he had never expected that this guy he had brought back was actually Chen Feng in disguise.

    As for the reason Chen Feng had been able to sneak into their recruitment? It was clear now that there was a traitor among them!

    He lowered his head and looked at his own body.

    Mhm...

    His back had been stabbed by Chen Feng. Adding salt to the wound, Chen Feng had stabbed him after using Nethergaze, and the knife capable of harming an A ss was a knife Square had chosen himself. This stab by itself wasn¡¯t that big of a deal, but unfortunately, after getting stabbed in the back by Chen Feng, his chest had been prated by Wang Yao¡¯s attack as well. That was the damage that was actually fatal.

    That one single attack was sufficient to harvest his life. As he heard the chattering of this small couple beside him at his moment of death, this Square who had dedicated his whole life to research and had remained single his whole life felt like someone had stuffed his mouth full of dog food.

    God damn you all...

    Thump.

    His body copsed onto the ground, dead.

    As for the remaining people here?

    Pu!

    Pu!

    Light started swirling around.

    After the death of the A-ss Square, those who remained, who were all B ss, were no longer a threat. Even Chen Feng could crush them any time he wished with his full power.

    Shortly after, only the two of them were left alive in the tower.

    Chen Feng rubbed her tiny face. "Mhm... let me take a look." Mhm...fleshy. It feels so nice to the hand. Next, Chen Feng¡¯s hand started reaching downward. Mhm... this feels... somewhat... Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s hand stopped moving. With great difficulty, he looked at Wang Yao and found that Wang Yao¡¯s body was turning illusory. This was exactly the same as what had happened back then!

    Chi¡ª

    Chi¡ª

    Wang Yao¡¯s body started flickering, akin to a TV with bad signal.

    Chen Feng grabbed onto her tightly. "Wang Yao." Gradually, her body started solidifying again. Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled. "What¡¯s going on with you?"

    Wang Yao¡¯s expression was serene. "This is why I¡¯m here. There is a secret in my body. I am aware that you are worried about me."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply before saying, "But see, even without telling me anything, I still appeared here. On top of that, I even rescued you. Hence, shouldn¡¯t you ce some trust in my ability? For certain matters, you can let me know and I will deal with it for you."

    Chen Feng¡¯s bright eyes stared straight into Wang Yao¡¯s eyes.

    At this moment, Wang Yao¡¯s huge eyes were filled with joy. "All right. I promise you."

    "Ah?" Initially, Chen Feng had believed that she would need a lot of convincing.

    Naturally, he had prepared to start acting in a more forceful manner if she had still refused to agree with him. Surprisingly, Wang Yao had agreed just like that.

    Wang Yao had a faint smile on her face. "You seem somewhat regretful that I agreed so easily?"

    Chen Feng coughed. "Says who?"

    Just as he was about to say more, Wang Yao stood on her toes and gently nted a kiss on his cheek. "Are you satisfied now?"

    Chen Fengughed in joy. "Yes, yes."

    Next, he lowered his head and started searching Square¡¯s body. Soon, he found the secret key for this tower. With this, they would be able to leave this tower.

    "Don¡¯t you want to know my secret?" Wang Yao turned on her electronic map and pointed at a certain spot. "This is where my current target is at."

    Shua!

    The map hovered in the air while Chen Feng¡¯s pupils shrunk abruptly. That was because the spot Wang Yao had pointed at was the center of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s headquarters. That was also the actual location of the research department, the ce where all experiments and tests were conducted, a ce right in the middle of the Mysterious Organization.

 Chapter 339: Hack Activation

    Chapter 339: Hack Activation

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    How powerful was Wang Yao? All this while, Chen Feng had not truly understand how powerful she was. Every time he had seen her, the enemies they had encountered had been too formidable, to the point even Wang Yao had only been able to hold on with great difficulty.

    Moreover, there had even been several times where Wang Yao had the been one in danger and Chen Feng was the one doing the rescuing. As such, all this while, Chen Feng had not had a clear idea on the exact strength of Wang Yao. He was aware that she was peak A ss, but then, how powerful was she, exactly? He had no idea. Now, after Wang Yao led him out of this prison, he finally had a clear idea of exactly how terrifying Wang Yao was.

    "How are we going to reach there?"

    "Walk there directly."

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Around them, clumps of fire started exploding. Those trying to stop them couldn¡¯t even get within 100 meters of them. Everywhere they passed, apocalypse descended. The boundless me unleashed by Wang Yao was sufficient to cause any onlookers to choke from fear alone. Even a peak B-ss warrior would not dare touch these me unleashed by Wang Yao.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Everywhere the me passed, nothing was left behind.

    The petite Wang Yao strolled forth amidst the me. Together with Chen Feng, they approached the center one step at a time. This terrifying scene rmed every onlooker.

    An A-ss expert appeared. "You dare!"

    Wang Yao merely pointed midair. "Scram!"

    Pu!

    A bloody hole appeared in that person¡¯s head, and he noiselessly copsed to the ground, dead.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone else around them inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    A ss! That had been an A ss!

    "What terrifying strength."

    "She¡¯s this powerful?"

    "No wonder the leader moved personally to capture her back then."

    "Quick."

    "Request reinforcements."

    The people of the Mysterious Organization kept seeking reinforcements in horror. However, nobody was able to prevent the advance of that petite silhouette. The only thing they could do was watch on with their eyes opened wide as Wang Yao and Chen Feng advanced.

    So... this is your real strength?

    Chen Feng was shaken. It was at this moment that he realized he had still been underestimating Wang Yao all this while, underestimating this youngdy that seemed somewhat foolish and dreamy when facing him.

    Shua!

    Turning on his screen, Chen Feng checked their current location. Simr to Star City, the Mysterious Organization¡¯s headquarters were extremely huge as well. With the size of their headquarters, it might as well have been a city. ording to the map he had previously copied, they were currently at the outeryer of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s headquarters. Inyman¡¯s terms, they were currently at the suburban district of this city-like headquarters and were heading toward the city center.

    Presently, they were still within the zone the Mysterious Organization used to lock up their prisoners. As such, the amount of A-ss warriors was still rather low. When they reached the center of the headquarters, though...

    Chen Feng was very anxious. Wang Yao¡¯s n was quite simple: Kill her way to her target before aplishing her goal. Next, they would leave. Since they had already been noticed by the Mysterious Organization, they had no choice but to use the fastest method to aplish her goal.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. Wang Yao¡¯s n was indeed the simplest and fastest method of aplishing her goal. However, this was a n where they chased after time. If she was able to aplish her goal before the enemies rushed back to headquarters, everything would proceed smoothly. If they failed toplete the goal in time, they might very well die here. Based on Wang Yao¡¯s estimation, they only had a sess rate of 50%.

    "This won¡¯t do..." Chen Feng muttered. The rate of 50% was too low. What if Luck Aura was activated?

    He checked his luck value and noted that he had 500 points remaining presently. Since he rarely used his luck value for gene production nowadays, most of his luck value were only be used during moments of crisis. However, it still did not seem enough for his usage. From the previous depletion of his luck value until now, not much time had passed. As such, he did not have too much luck value saved.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "If I use them to affect the sess rate..."

    Bang!

    The illusory world before his eyes started its calction. Noiselessly, the power of luck started spreading around as it calcted the potential appearance of A sses and leaders when they were en route to Wang Yao¡¯s target. However, before the calction couldplete, the illusory world of Luck Aura before Chen Feng¡¯s eyes copsed. Luck Aura had failed its calction!

    Sigh.

    This was something that would only happen when the total luck value he had was insufficient to aplish the assigned task. After all, the enemies they needed to face this time were too powerful and terrifying. A very huge amount of luck value would be required to affect reality itself if he wanted to alter the sess rate.

    If so, what should he do, then?

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Around them, the mes were still exploding without stop. Bringing Chen Feng with her, Wang Yao was advancing rapidly. Chen Feng inhaled deeply and decided that since his luck value was insufficient, he would have to use his own methods to ensure their sess.

    Shua!

    His eyes shone.

    Luck Aura, activate.

    Shua!

    His luck value started decreasing.

    Before his eyes, the coordinates of countless people started appearing. On Chen Feng¡¯s minimap, numerous red dots and numbers appeared. These were the coordinates of all the experts of the Mysterious Organization. Within this minimap, not even B-ss warriors were taken into consideration. Only A ss and above were included here.

    Fortunately, their timing forunching this attack was just nice. Those super experts such as the Mysterious Organization¡¯s leader and Lu Hun were all not here.

    Wang Yao nced at Chen Feng and said, "They all have something else to do. That is why I chose toe here at this time."

    So that¡¯s the case. Chen Feng contemted. None of those people were here? If so...

    Chen Feng suddenly asked, "If I can take you there sessfully, will the sess rate increase?"

    "Eh?" Wang Yao nked at this question. Chen Feng taking her there? She was aware of the difficulty of this mission and had been prepared for a bitter battle. From here all the way to the center, the start would be smooth. However, a bitter battle would start soon. At that time, almost all the A-ss experts here at the headquarters would be making their move. For her, this would definitely be a bitter battle.

    This would be an extremely dangerous trip. Regardless of how powerful herbat power was, it was very possible that she would be exhausted to death by the sheer number of the enemies. However, if Chen Feng could do what he said...

    "Eighty percent!" Wang Yao replied without hesitation.

    "All right." A grin appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "I told you, I won¡¯t be much help inbat. However, don¡¯t look down on me when ites to other aspects. Conceal your aura and leave the rest to me."

    Chen Feng stepped out inrge strides. Holding Wang Yao¡¯s tiny hand, they walked forth and vanished noiselessly at a certain corner. The me burning everywhere abruptly stopped.

    As for the people of the Mysterious Organization, they were only watching all this from far away. None of them had the courage to even approach Wang Yao. As such, none of them were aware of what had just happened. The only thing they could do was stand there waiting. However, regardless of how long they waited, the duo seemed to have vanished forever, as the two did not appear anymore. Only after waiting for a while did they gather enough courage to approach the ce, only to find that the two were no longer there.

    "They escaped!"

    "Damn it, go and chase after them!"

    "Quick, get someone here. We can¡¯t let her escape."

    "Yes, the leader will probably return soon. Before that, we must stop their escape. Block all the doors; we must not allow her to escape."

    "Understood."

    Everyone¡¯s heart burned with anxiety. In order to capture Wang Yao, they had paid too high a price. If she were allowed to escape, they would suffer too disastrous a loss.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The whole Mysterious Organization started bustling with activity. Almost every single one of them started looking for Wang Yao. Even if they couldn¡¯t defeat her, they only needed to discover her and slow her down slightly. That would be sufficient.

    ng!

    The Mysterious Organization¡¯s headquarters were fully locked down. At the same time, unknown to any of them, the world before Chen Feng¡¯s eyes seemed to have turned into a two-dimensional map. Every single person, every single coordinate of theirs was extremely clear to his eyes.

    Catching the current him? Was that even possible? The current him was akin to someone who was using a map hack in a game!

 Chapter 340: So Itâ€™s You

    Chapter 340: So It¡¯s You

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In the Mysterious Organization, in this danger-filled ce, Chen Feng was holding onto Wang Yao¡¯s tiny hand as they traveled through these headquarters amid the countless enemies present.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    With his map hack, Chen Feng was able to easily avoid being discovered by A-ss and B-ss warriors. As for those C ss and below? What a joke. With their current strength, those people of C ss and below would never be able to notice Chen Feng. As for the asional circumstances where they were actually discovered by these people...

    Pu!

    After a single wave of his hand, Chen Feng left together with Wang Yao, leaving behind a corpse whose eyes were still wide open.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Both their silhouettes flitted through the headquarters undetected, akin to walkers of dreand. As for the people of the Mysterious Organization, after failing to locate Chen Feng and Wang Yao, they were now concentrating most of their attention on the borders of the headquarters, to prevent Wang Yao and Chen Feng¡¯s escape. As far as they were concerned, Chen Feng was only here to rescue Wang Yao.

    Unknown to anyone, presently, at a certain location at the center of the headquarters where the research department was located, a group of senior researchers were conducting a certain crucial experiment. For them, even if the sky and the earth outside were turned upside down, it had nothing to do with them.

    "Gene reagent."

    "Preparationplete."

    "Catalysis reagent."

    "Prepared."

    "Energy recharge and energy reserve?"

    "Done."

    Within the ice-coldboratory, everyone was doing their respective tasks in an orderly manner.

    "What¡¯s the situation out there?"

    "Oh, I heard that some prisoner escaped. They are trying to recapture that escaped prisoner."

    An old researcher with brown hair sneered. "What trash. They can¡¯t even hold a prisoner properly." His name was Huang Guo, the official in charge of this project.

    "That¡¯s normal. These two years, we have suffered too many losses due to Wang Yao and Chen Feng. As for the new recruits, they are too new and are still being trained. As such, we still haven¡¯t been able to replenish our manpower. It¡¯s normal for there to be some weak points here and there." This person felt extremely helpless as well. However, they had no doubt that the prisoner would not be able to escape the headquarters at all. What ce was this? This was the Mysterious Organization¡¯s headquarters. A ce where A sses were everywhere and B sses were worth less than dogs.

    If the prisoner were able to escape the headquarters, that would truly be hrious. Hence, these researchers here were not worried at all. As long as their experiment wasn¡¯t affected, they wouldn¡¯t be bothered with anything.

    "Ignore them. Let¡¯s prepare for our experiment," Huang Guo said with an imposing expression.

    "Yes."

    Shua!

    The numerous assistants finished the preparations of their materials. Next, theboratory¡¯s door was shut and the lights were turned off. Only a gentle ray of light was left, which was then aimed straight at the tform. On the tformy a youngdy who appeared to be 13 or 14 years old.

    It was obvious that anesthetic had been administered to her, robbing her of the ability to move her body. Her eyes were filled with despair, and her face was filled with horror. This was an extremely pitiful expression. Unfortunately, here at this ce, nobody felt any pity toward her.

    "Let¡¯s begin."

    "Yes."

    The group of researchers stepped forth coldly. When Huang Guo was looking at this youngdy, his gaze was akin to someone looking at a precious treasure. After 10 long years of research, they had finally reached this stage where they could start experimenting on a human body. Based on their previous deductions and their previous sessful experiment on ab rat, their experiment on this human this time would be...

    Hahahahaha!

    The time for the elevation of their status in the organization was not far away.

    "Youngdy, don¡¯t worry. This won¡¯t hurt. Soon, it will all be over," Huang Guo whispered. However, his eyes became increasingly cold and detached. Behind him were a group of assistants in white gowns. Their indistinct appearance in this dim room,bined with those white gowns they wore, was giving off an iparably gloomy feeling to the youngdy. She wanted to struggle, yet she couldn¡¯t move.

    Shua!

    With a wave of Huang Guo¡¯s hand, the experiment began. However, right as they pressed on the power switch, the door to theboratory started rocking. A gush of energy so powerful it caused one¡¯s heart to palpitate could be felting from the door.

    Bang!

    With a loud sound, a hole was left in the seemingly indestructible door. The edges of the hole were still burning red from the heat. From the hole, a tiny figure and a big figure stepped through.

    "Wang Yao!"

    Someone had recognized Wang Yao. Instantly, that person¡¯s expression changed greatly. They were aware that a prisoner had escaped. Little had they known that the escaped prisoner was actually Wang Yao. No wonder the rm outside never stopped zing.

    If it was Wang Yao...

    "Ah."

    As Wang Yao¡¯s ice-cold gazended on them, they felt like they had all fallen into an icy cave.

    "What are you afraid of? This is the inner region of the organization..." someone bellowed.

    Pu!

    With a red sh, his body copsed onto the ground as a soundless corpse. As for the rest, they were all so horrified that they knelt on the ground, no longer daring to even move. Silently, Wang Yao walked toward the tform before undoing the bindings on the youngdy. At the same time, a mild power gushed into the youngdy¡¯s body to expel the drugs in her body.

    "Are you fine?"

    The pale youngdy nodded her head.

    "Escape, then." A hint of loneliness could be felt in Wang Yao¡¯s voice. "Since you are here, it is certain that your family has given up on you. Leave this ce and escape as far as you can..."

    The youngdy looked at Chen Feng and Wang Yao in gratitude before hastily leaving. From the way she moved, it was apparent that she was quite a formidable person as well.

    "Gic warrior..." Chen Feng frowned as he noticed that even their test subjects were gic warriors... As for Wang Yao, she wasn¡¯t surprised by this. Her ice-cold gaze started sweeping through each one of the researchers before stopping on a B-ss gic warrior that was somewhat powerful.

    Pu!

    Pu!

    Once again, a group of lifeless corpses copsed onto the ground. Only the C-ss warriors were left alive. Theboratory sunk into a dreadful silence.

    She looked at Huang Guo. "You, stand up."

    "Don¡¯t kill me." Huang Guo gulped and continued, "We will stop this experiment immediately. After all, this experiment is something the upper levels arranged. We are only following orders..."

    Wang Yao coldly interrupted him, "Shut up. Did I told you to stop?"

    "Ah?" Huang Guo was confused. Since she had already freed their test subject, what could they do besides stop?

    "Continue the experiment." Wang Yao inhaled deeply before saying, "This time, your test subject shall be... me!"

    "What?"

    Everyone¡¯s heart jolted.

    You?!

    They stared at this youngdy with unbelieving expressions. Had she gone crazy? Was she aware of what this experiment was? This was...

    Wait!

    Suddenly, Huang Guo¡¯s body trembled as he stared at Wang Yao with an inconceiving expression. At the same time, Wang Yao¡¯s body trembled slightly and her body turned nearly transparent, as if she was going to vanish at any moment. After several flickers, her body returned to normal.

    Huang Guo fixed his gaze on Wang Yao. "It¡¯s true! It¡¯s really true! Could it be, you are... Hahahahaha! So it¡¯s actually you! I knew it! I knew my experiment would be sessful! Hahahahaha!" He was so excited his entire body started trembling. "You have returned. In the experiment, I had a timestamp ced on the subject. If the subject did not return, she would vanish. Haha, it¡¯s about time you came back to me. Hahaha."

    At this time, Chen Feng was flipping through their past experiment details. When he saw the content of the experiment, he finally understood everything. Finally, he figured out the reason Wang Yao hade here. There were certain things that were indeed impossible to exin clearly. However, as long as he arrived here and saw everything here with his own eyes, he would understand without needing any exnations.

    ----

    That¡¯s right. This was one of the transmigration experiments of legend. The information Chen Feng had once identally seen had now became a reality right before his eyes.

    No wonder...

    Chen Feng shut his eyes.

    No wonder Wang Yao was always capable of predicting what was going to happen... No wonder Wang Yao always knew everything... No wonder Wang Yao has such a hatred toward the Wang family...

    All this that had remained unknown to anyone had now be clear to Chen Feng.

 Chapter 341: Are You Not

    Chapter 341: Are You Not

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Transmigration and rebirth. Both were simrly inconceivable ideas. Ideas that had always been discussed in earnest and mentioned without stop in rumors and fiction. However, up till now, nobody had actually seen anyone who had transmigrated. No one had truly believed that this existed as well. Now, though, the rumors had been transformed into truth.

    Huang Guoughed so hard he was crying. "Hahahahahahahaha." He had seeded. He had known he would be able to do it! Initially, he had believed that the moment that youngdy had been chased away, his dreams and experiments would have stopped there. Unexpectedly, he had already seeded in a different timeline.

    Huang Guo¡¯s eyes shone. "The current you is thebination of your previous and current life. The only reason you even exist is because of this experiment. If you can¡¯tplete the experiment, you will definitely die. This is the rule of thew of time. Hence, you are here. You have no other choice but toplete this experiment."

    By this point in time, she no longer had any choice but toplete this experiment. Only by doing this could sheplete a perfect cycle. If the present her did not travel back in time, this current body of hers that was abination of the transmigrated body and the main body would cease to exist. As such, the closer she got to this point of time, the more illusory her body became. She did not have much time left.

    Chen Feng sighed inwardly. "This girl..." At this moment, Chen Feng finally understood the burden in Wang Yao¡¯s heart.

    In her previous life, she had been sent to this ce by the Wang family to be used as a test subject. Ultimately, she had been sent back into the past. As such, she had an extreme hatred for everyone in the Wang family. The only person who had not wronged her in her past life, Wang Yue, the person who had once begged on her behalf, had be the target of her gratefulness. This was also the reason she had aided him in this timeline.

    Those people she hated had all been her family! Chen Feng had a vague recollection of how when he had first met this youngdy, the thing he had noticed was the aura of solitude she had emitted, the feeling of despair of someone who wandered the world by her lonesome self... exactly the same as he had been when he had first arrived in this world.

    So this was the reason for that. This child had experienced too many things that she shouldn¡¯t have experienced. As Chen Feng¡¯s thoughts came to this point, his gaze became soft as he looked at Wang Yao.

    In a somewhat nervous manner, Wang Yao looked at Chen Feng. "Chen Feng." In her beautiful pair of huge eyes was a tinge of fear. She feared that Chen Feng would me her. After all, traveling back in time and transmigration were not things just anyone couldprehend.

    The path of solitude she walked was too lonely. Up till now, Chen Feng was the only person who had been so sincere toward her, yet she had hidden this from him...

    Chen Fengmented. "I had initially thought that you were a loli. Unexpectedly, you¡¯re actually a big sister."

    Wang Yao stared at Chen Feng. She maintained her silence. However, a slight trace of worry was evident in her gaze that used to be filled with confidence. Would Chen Feng really like her, this person who was a product of transmigration?

    Since she was at loss of words, she merely stared at Chen Feng silently.

    Suddenly, Chen Fengughed. "What are you looking at?" His hand reached out and started petting Wang Yao¡¯s hair, messing up her long soft hair. "Regardless of how old you actually are, you are stillparatively younger than me."

    Wang Yao¡¯s eyes shed. "Is that true? You¡¯re not a lolicon?"

    "...You are the actual lolicon?" Chen Feng rebutted.

    He only happened to like a person who also happened to be a loli. How was it possible for him to be a lolicon! See how he still liked her now even after realizing that she was not a true loli? But then, it was also true that her physical body would remain despite her age. Err...

    Wang Yao smiled. "Really?"

    Chen Feng smiled. "Yes. Obviously, I have my own secrets unknown to you as well. However, you will find out about that soon enough."

    "Mhm." Wang Yao recovered the air of confidence she had always had in the past. In this life, Chen Feng was probably the only person capable of causing such a fluctuation of emotions in her. At an unknown time, her unfeeling emotions had changed, bing richer.

    Chen Feng checked the time. "It¡¯s almost time."

    Wang Yao nodded slightly. "Mhm."

    They were both waiting for a particr point of time. As long as Wang Yao returned back to the past at the exact same time she had been reincarnated previously, she would be able toplete a perfect cycle. Only with this could she prevent her disappearance from this world.

    This was the only thing she needed to do.

    Chen Feng looked at Huang Huo. "Are you ready?"

    Huang Guo¡¯s eyes were filled with a fanatical glow. "Yes."

    As a person capable of having such an achievement in this topic of research, a person capable ofpleting a reincarnation and time-travel experiment, was most definitely a top-notch scientist. As for the Mysterious Organization or Gic Union, he wasn¡¯t the least bothered with their politics. As far as he was concerned, being able to witness with his own eyes the legendary feat of his in a different timeline was in itself an extremely splendid experience. After all, he had way too many hypotheses that he needed confirmation.

    Huang Guo was overwhelmed by emotion. "Hahaha. Now, we have to see if the me in your original timeline and the current me have the same opinions on this."

    Hum¡ª

    Light started swirling around.

    Wang Yao¡¯s body floated and slowlyy down on the test tform.

    Her elf-like eyes that were filled with worry were focused on Chen Feng. As she had said previously, even she herself could not guarantee sess in this n of hers.

    If she were by herself...

    She believed that even if she forced her way into this experiment without letting them know the truth and was discovered, those people would still wait for the experiment to first end before actually taking any action. This was simply an opportunity even the Mysterious Organization would not let go of. Naturally, with the intelligence of Huang Guo and the other researchers, the moment something like that happened, they would still be able to guess her true identity as a person who had transmigrated.

    When that happened, things would be extremely dangerous for her even if she were able to sessfully escape this ce.

    Now, though... she had Chen Feng here, preventing any bad things from happening to her. However, that also indicated that the moment the reinforcements of the Mysterious Organization or those superexperts arrived, Chen Feng would certainly die.

    How could he who could only unleash a peak B-ssbat power stop those people? Wang Yao was extremely worried.

    Chen Feng walked to Wang Yao¡¯s side and gently said, "Just lie down obediently. After a nap, everything will be fine."

    As the research assistants around them that had been shuddering in fear, not daring to move, saw this, they found this unbelievable. A C-ss gic warrior like Chen Feng dared to talk like this to this monster-likedy?

    Even more shocking was the fact that the dreadful demonic youngdy actually obediently nodded her head at Chen Feng¡¯s words. "Mhm." She was aware that the probability of sess was quite low. However, she had still chosen to believe that it would seed. The amount of miracles Chen Feng had created all this while had thoroughly convinced her.

    Since he said that it would seed, then it would definitely seed.

    Next, Wang Yao fell unconscious.

    By the side, the Huang Guo that was preparing the experiment shook his head.

    Sigh, this is the rotten smell of love. What¡¯s the good in such an emotion, where they encumber and implicate each other? I still think that the human dolls with simr appearance to the celebrities I created myself are better. The way they feel, those body figures, that experience... tsk tsk.

    Chen Feng looked at Huang Guo indifferently. "Can we start now?"

    "Cough, cough." Huang Guo recovered from his self-monologue and nodded solemnly. "Yes, we can."

    "Very good." After this indifferent reply, Chen Feng walked toward the door. Behind him, with a singlemand from Huang Guo, the transmigration and rebirth experiment was fully activated. Gradually, the cold gaze of Huang Guo transformed into a fanatical gaze.

 Chapter 342: Ten Minutes!

    Chapter 342: Ten Minutes!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng had a solemn gaze. "Rise."

    Shua!

    Slowly, he raised his hand. At that, the damaged door in front of him started repairing itself rapidly. This was one of the abilities contained within his Myriad Illusions. Myriad Illusions was an ability capable of nearly everything. Along with the increase in Chen Feng¡¯s strength, the functions he had unlocked had increased as well. If one were to be blunt, Chen Feng was like a bigger version of Doraemon¡¯s pocket that contained a seemingly countless amount of abilities one couldn¡¯t even begin to imagine.

    Naturally, all the abilities were single-function abilities and were extremely weak. For example, this restoration ability Chen Feng was using on the door. A normal gic warrior specializing in restoration possessed four or five types of restoration abilities and some other abilities used to match these restoration abilities. Through constant practice, such a gic warrior possessed an extremely formidable restoration ability, capable of restoring objects, human bodies, barriers, and so on. Almost everything that one could destroy, this ability would be able to restore.

    Moreover, there existed some people with weak time-rted abilities capable of restoring the state of things to one second prior in time regardless of the amount of damage done. Regardless of circumstances, these people were able to restore the target to how it had been one second prior. Even if such abilities had huge limitations and harsh usage requirements, the result of their usage was extremely astonishing.

    This was how a restoration specialist should be.

    It was also natural that the restored target would lose one second of its lifespan after the restoration process. As of now, the question of where this one second of life span went was still unanswered.

    Comparatively, this restoration ability of Chen Feng¡¯s was simply too crude.

    Shua!

    The alloy door finished its restoration. Completing the restoration, Chen Feng sat down cross-legged and sat in front of the door calmly.

    It might sound powerful that Myriad Illusions contained countless abilities, but in actuality, this was an ability akin to a Tiger Balm Oil. 1 It was able to imitate all sorts of ability of various functions; however, the individual abilities weren¡¯t particrly powerful.

    It was an ability that could help ease one¡¯s daily activities, such as disguising and the like. In their current situation, with all sorts of dangers waiting for them, the only thing Chen Feng could reliably count on was hisbat power.

    Suddenly, a blue radiance started shining in the whole room. This signified that Wang Yao¡¯s rebirth was starting. Her body floated as the blue radiance that filled the room enveloped Wang Yao¡¯s body before they started flickering.

    Wang Yao¡¯s body started flickering, alternating between an illusory and solid state.

    "It¡¯s starting," Chen Feng muttered. He checked the time. Based on Wang Yao¡¯s previous record, a total of 10 minutes would be required toplete this experiment. As long as they persevered for 10 minutes, the experiment would be sessful.

    Ten minutes...

    Chen Feng shook his head. Anywhere else, 10 minutes would be an extremely short time. However, they were currently in the Mysterious Organization¡¯s headquarters. In order to rush here, they hadn¡¯t stopped anywhere without daring to waste any of their time. Only after doing so had they managed to arrive here in time.

    However, this was as far as they could achieve.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Outside the door, an orderly marching noise could be heard. Chen Feng knew that, after the initial confusion, the Mysterious Organization had already reorganized their manpower and once again started charging toward them. It was impossible for them to hide the fact that they were currently here. This was even more so since they were currently at the very headquarters of the Mysterious Organization.

    Chen Feng heard the sound of activity outside the door. "Here theye."

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The terrifying sound of bombardment started resounding. Earlier, before the experiment had started, Chen Feng had already forced Huang Guo to activate the highest defense system of theboratory. This was something that would only be activated during wartime.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Theboratory trembled unceasingly. A lot of the research assistants paled as their thoughts raced. Evidently, now that the Mysterious Organization was making their move, these people were extremely anxious.

    Chen Feng¡¯s indifferent voice drifted into their ears. "Focus on your experiment properly. Don¡¯t wait for their rescue. Trust me, even if they were standing right in front of us, any one of you that dares to escape will still be the first to die."

    Shua!

    At that, the researchers paled.

    Chen Feng calmly continued, "Just focus on your experiment. Don¡¯t raise your head, and don¡¯t look. With this, regardless of who it is that obtains victory, you all will be able to stay alive. Isn¡¯t that right?"

    Only at this did everyone regain their calm and continue with the experiment.

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    Multiple radiances started condensing around them as the countdown on the screen began.

    Ten minutes!

    Nine minutes and 59 seconds!

    ...

    Theboratory sunk into a bizarre mood, a scary kind of bizarre mood. Amid the blue radiance, Chen Feng was seated cross-legged in front of the door. Behind him was a huge amount of researchers putting their all into the experiment. As for Wang Yao, her body was hovering midair.

    This was indeed quite a bizarre sight.

    Suddenly.

    ng!

    Apanied by a huge explosion, the door broke apart. The hearts of the researchers trembled. However, as they recalled Chen Feng¡¯s earlier words, they obediently lowered their heads and continued with their respective tasks, not daring to raise their heads at all.

    It was indeed as Chen Feng had said. If they were to raise their heads, only death would await them. At this point, only by maintaining a low profile and being ignored by thebatants could they possibly survive.

    Hua!

    The group of people from the Mysterious Organization swarmed into theboratory.

    C ss!

    B ss!

    Even A sses were included among them.

    Rows of gic warriors appeared. These experts that were ordinarily rarely seen were now appearing like cabbages. This was the only thing that could happen anyway, since Chen Feng had essentially intruded into their headquarters, their home!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Countless people surrounded theboratory.

    Chen Feng had a serene expression. "You all are here."

    The people from the mysterious organization snorted coldly. "Hmph."

    One of them was staring at Chen Feng. "It¡¯s you indeed!" It was indeed this walking disaster!

    By the time they had realized that something was off, Square had already been dead and the building imprisoning Wang Yao had already copsed. All information rted to that incident had been erased as well. They hadn¡¯t even been able to figure out the way in which Square and the rest had died.

    Based on their deductions, someone had broken into the jail to rescue Wang Yao before escaping. They had never imagined that the prison breaker was actually Chen Feng. How had he found out about this ce? This was their headquarters!

    Wait. If he knew this ce, what about the Gic Union? What about the Gene Production Association? Was he truly here to rescue Wang Yao? What was his true goal here? Everyone¡¯s gaze was racing around. Now that their leader was not here, they had to make their own decisions.

    An A ss made his move. "Let me kill him." However, right as his attack was about to kill Chen Feng, he was stopped by someone else. They stared at the Chen Feng that had remained seated there cross-legged, not moving a muscle.

    The A-ss warrior¡¯s gaze was filled with suspicion. "He is not even dodging?"

    Chen Feng smiled toyingly. "Why should I dodge?"

    That person stared at Chen Feng coldly. "If you don¡¯t dodge, you will die."

    Chen Feng smiled. "If I die, you all will die as well. What you said earlier was correct. This is an extremely hidden location. No matter what I do, I won¡¯t be able to locate this ce. This fact applies to the Gic Union as well. Even my appearance here is pure coincidence. In here, I have no methods of sending a message back to the Gic Union either. However, if I were to die here..." Chen Feng ended his words with a smile.

    At that, the hearts of those from the Mysterious Organization trembled.

    There indeed existed some things that could avoid detection in this world. However, a roundabout way of detecting those things existed. If Chen Feng was killed here, it was very probable that some powerful forbidden ability capable of locating Chen Feng existed.

    They no longer needed to detect the Mysterious Organization¡¯s location. It would be sufficient for them to locate Chen Feng alone.

    When that happened...

    "How meticulous."

    They were filled with fear as they thought of this. So this Chen Feng guy was already done with his preparations? The attack that had been about to beunched toward Chen Feng stopped, as the attacker was unsure as to his next course of action.

    Right at this moment, an ice-cold voice could be heard.

    "Isn¡¯t this method of dragging out the time somewhat childish? Since we can¡¯t kill him, crippling him is sufficient."

    Behind the crowd, a tall and sturdy guy walked slowly in front. On his body was a light-gold robe, and his entire being was radiating a heroic aura.

    This was Jin Dian, a peak A ss and the head of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s war department.

 Chapter 343: Redmoon

    Chapter 343: Redmoon

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils abruptly shrunk. "It¡¯s you?"

    A person who shouldn¡¯t have appeared here had appeared. Jin Dian was one of the strongest peak A-ss experts of the Mysterious Organization. He possessed extremely terrifying strength, and based on the information from Ji Feng, this person was extremely intelligent and cruel. Such a person would definitely not give him a chance to drag this out. Things would probably get dangerous now that this guy was here.

    Chen Feng¡¯s palms started sweating. "You are not supposed to be here."

    Based on their previous record, this guy called Jin Dian should have been away from the headquarters at this point in time. Based on Wang Yao¡¯s initial n, she would only be sessful after these peak A-ss experts were all lured out of the headquarters. Otherwise, they would absolutely be capable of trapping Wang Yao here all the way until her eventual death.

    This guy here should have been out implementing missions!

    Jin Dian smiled calmly. "I was indeed implementing missions. However, something happened back here. Hence, someone sent me back here."

    Sent back?

    Chen Feng widened his eyes.

    How was this possible? He had checked the details of Wang Yao¡¯s n before. This Jin Dian had been sent on a mission to a ce extremely far away from the headquarters. It was simply impossible for him to have returned speedily. In order to lure them out, Wang Yao had paid a huge price for it. Only after destroying a huge amount of projects of the Mysterious Organization had these people started heading out there.

    At a ce like that...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng noticed the fading green radiance above Jin Dian¡¯s head. It was an extremely faint trace that the naked eye couldn¡¯t see. However, if one used their spiritual energy to sense it, one might still be able to catch a trace of its existence.

    This radiance...

    Chen Feng sighed. "Lu Hun!"

    Jin Dian nodded his head. "That¡¯s right. Your n was indeed wless. However, you neglected the existence of Senior Soul. Before true strength, all tricks are nothing but jokes. As for Senior Soul, his strength far exceeds your imagination. Even if he can¡¯t move away personally, he only needed to send me here and everything will be dealt with."

    Soul...

    Chen Feng shook his head. Once again, it was this guy.

    It seemed like they had an extremely deep grudge with each other, since every time they encountered one another, it was a confrontation of life and death. However, as he thought about it, he found that, indeed, they had a deep grudge. That guy was a venerable green diamond member 1 yet had ended up being cuckolded by Chen Feng, his young wife missing Chen Feng every day. How could he not hate Chen Feng?

    Moreover, this was the Mysterious Organization Chen Feng had ventured into, his very own ce.

    Chen Feng shrugged, seemingly epting his fate. "Fine, then. However..." He looked at Jin Dian. "Although Soul can¡¯t move anywhere personally, if he can exhaust a huge amount of energy to send you back, why can¡¯t he use that energy to create a clone? I seem to recall that Soul¡¯s clone is also peak A-ss, right? Hehe. Have you not wondered why Soul sent you instead of his clone?" Chen Feng had a faint smile on his face.

    "Oh?" Jin Dian¡¯s eyes narrowed at these words. However, he maintained his silence.

    Chen Feng smiled. "Because he is afraid. Since you have the information about me, you should also be aware that Soul once sent two peak A-ss clones after me. Both of them were killed by me. Hence, he is now horrified of me. How about you?"

    Instantly, the atmosphere around them seemed to reach the freezing point.

    Jin Dian stared at Chen Feng calmly. "Me?" Suddenly, he smiled. "Are you trying to drag this out?"

    Chen Feng raised his eyebrow. "What?"

    "Ah."

    Jin Dian¡¯s gaze skipped past Chen Feng andnded on a certain small screen behind him amid the experiment that was progressing there. On that small screen, where a normal person would not be able to read from several tens of meters away, was a countdown timer. Time indicated: 8:58.

    Jin Dian¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly as he said, "Regardless of whether or not Senior Soul is actually capable of killing you, since I have appeared here today, I will definitely kill you."

    He was not aware of Chen Feng¡¯s actual n. He was also not aware of the reason Chen Feng was dragging this out. However, regardless of what Chen Feng was nning, the only thing he needed to do was ensure Chen Feng¡¯s failure.

    Since Chen Feng wanted to drag the time out, Jin Dian would end the battle speedily. This had always been Jin Dian¡¯s style of doing things: firm and decisive.

    Bang!

    A terrifying power started shaking around him. A power belonging to a peak A ss started swirling around the air. All the other members of the Mysterious Organization were forcibly forced out by this power. Now, the only thing they could do was wait outside.

    "Seal up all their escape routes," Jin Dian ordered indifferently.

    "Yes!"

    With several A-ss warriors as the leaders, they sealed the wholeboratory and blocked all possible escape routes.

    Jin Dian looked at the time. "Eight minutes left... Seems like you won¡¯t be able to wait that long."

    Chen Feng shook his head helplessly. "Hehe. Why do you refuse to trust my words?"

    "Are you even trustworthy?" Jin Dian said toyingly. "Even if you have killed Senior Soul¡¯s clones, even if you have killed A-ss warriors, even if everyone¡¯s evaluation of you is "an eerily bizarre person," as far as I am concerned, all that has been achieved by your tricks. Mere tricks that only work in specific circumstances. Here..." He looked at Wang Yao. "I suppose this youngdy here is in the midst of enhancement? No matter what experiment this is, after killing the both of you, everything will be over. Sorry, I will not be giving you any extra time."

    Jin Dian took a step forward. At this moment, the whole world seemed to tremble. This was how scary an A ss was. Presently, there were still eight and a half minutes left on the countdown. This small discussion between Jin Dian and Chen Feng was simply not sufficient to drag too much of the time.

    Chen Feng sighed. "Who told you that I intended to drag this out?"

    Next, he raised his head. His eyes were already glowing red.

    Jin Dian sneered. "Nethergaze?"

    Nethergaze was also known as the ender of chatterers.

    This ability was indeed a killing machine. Finally, he understood how those people had died in Chen Feng¡¯s hands. They had most certainly talked to Chen Feng too much and ended up perishing due to their excessive words.

    However, this thing was simply a joke against him. Only a minute had passed since he had met Chen Feng. With such a short time frame for the Nethergaze to lock onto him, he would not fear even the Nethergaze of an A ss at his level, let alone this C-ss Chen Feng.

    If one wanted topletely lock onto him, at the very least, one full day would be required.

    Jin Dian sneered. "You are indeed good at seizing every opportunity." Next, he prepared to kill Chen Feng. However, he stopped suddenly, as he suddenly sensed an astonishing power appearing. "What?"

    Instinctively, he looked toward the source of power.

    Before his eyes, along with Chen Feng, who was slowly standing up...

    Hum¡ª

    A faint aura started bubbling up around Chen Feng. That aura that was obviously totally different from all other powers appeared incredibly conspicuous at this instant. Nobody else else could resist looking in this direction either.

    In a serene manner, Chen Feng¡¯s right hand reached out.

    Shua!

    An astonishing clump of energy started converging in his hand. A perfectly straight red energy weapon solidified in his hand. That shiny weapon was radiating a power that rmed even Jin Dian.

    Jin Dian¡¯s pupils shrunk abruptly. "This is..."

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "Now, are you still of the opinion that I am dragging this out?"

    Shua!

    A powerful red radiance started gathering around him.

    "The name of this sword is Redmoon, a sword I once used to kill countless people, the two clones of Soul included. Among them were also some of the A-ss warriors of your organization. Mhm... I can¡¯t even remember their names anymore..." Chen Feng pondered for a bit before shaking his head. "Indeed, I have killed too much recently..."

    Shua!

    Their surroundings sunk into silence.

    Chen Feng might have forgotten. However, they remembered clearly the names of those killed warriors.

    Everyone in the Mysterious Organization, from the initial B-ss warriors up to the subsequent A-ss warriors, peak A ss included, not a single one of them who had once crossed swords with Chen Feng had ever returned alive. Not a single one!

    They had always been wondering about the reason for this. They had once doubted the capability of Chen Feng¡¯s fused abilities to kill their members. None of them had known the answer. Now, though, they had finally found out the real reason.

    Redmoon...

    Their gazesnded on that energy sword flickering with a red radiance. That energy sword was flickering without stop, glowing with a faint radiance. Despite the faint radiance, the energy undtion around the sword was powerful enough to stifle their breaths.

    Even when standing so far away, they could feel that bone-piercing chillness and the terrifying pressure the sword was emitting.

    That was the power of a peak A ss! The strength of a true expert!

    Jin Dian couldn¡¯t believe his eyes. "How is this possible?"

    It would be understandable for a peak A ss to possess a sword with peak A-ss power. However, when this sword was taken out by a C-ss warrior, that was extremely abnormal.

    Looking at the tyrannical and formidable Chen Feng in front of him, coupled with his recollection of Chen Feng¡¯s battle history, Jin Dian started doubting.

    F*ck! Could it be that this *sshole is tricking people again?!

 Chapter 344: Can Only Fight with Everything!

    Chapter 344: Can Only Fight with Everything!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In the Mysterious Organization, the Chen Feng¡¯s domineering reveal stunned everyone present. None of them dared to move. This was not due to them being too stupid or naive; rather, Chen Feng¡¯s past battle history was truly too astonishing. On top of that, the peak A-ss power radiating from Redmoon alone was sufficient to subject them to a sense of pressure. As such, they did not even have the courage to move toward Chen Feng.

    However, this did not apply to everyone present. Among the shocked gazes, there was one particr pair of eyes fixed on Chen Feng. The more that pair of eyes stared at Chen Feng, the more that person felt that something was off. Ultimately, this transformed into a deep suspicion.

    Jin Dian¡¯s eyes shone. "That thing..."

    Indeed, that was the power of peak A ss. But then...

    "If you truly possessed such strength, would there have been a need to waste your time talking to us?" Jin Dian asked coldly.

    Chen Feng sighed. "This sword is known as Redmoon. Each day, it can only kill 10 people. Although it¡¯s powerful, the limitations are quite huge as well. Otherwise, I would have killed all of you long ago."

    Everyone sunk into silence. It was quite reasonable for such a powerful weapon to have limitations. If that was the case, how should they progress with fighting him? Using B sses? C sses? What a joke! Chen Feng would not even require Bloodmoon to defeat these warriors. But if A-ss warriors were the ones fighting him... did that mean they had to sacrifice 10 A-ss warriors or even a peak A-ss warrior just to take Chen Feng down? Was that worth it?

    Everyone sunk into silence. Suddenly, they were much more agreeable with the act of dragging things out. These were the headquarters of the Mysterious Organization. There were a huge amount of experts that had been away for missions who were now rushing back. The longer they dragged this out, the more advantageous it would be for them. When those people returned, even 10 Chen Fengs would not be sufficient to deal with them.

    Someone silently proposed, "Boss, perhaps, we should..."

    Jin Dian snorted coldly. "Shut up."

    The more believable Chen Feng¡¯s words were, the more certain he was that this guy was tricking them.

    Redmoon? Only capable of killing 10 people per day? Who is he trying to trick?

    Jin Dian checked the time and noted that, at this point, only seven minutes were left on the countdown.

    Jin Dian¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Redmoon or something else, whatever."

    Since he was already suspicious of Chen Feng¡¯s words, he would not allow Chen Feng to continue dragging this out. So what if the sword had the power of a peak A ss? At worst, they would only be engaged in a bitter battle. Moreover, even if he ended up losing, couldn¡¯t he escape? He was confident that he wasn¡¯t too much weaker than Senior Soul¡¯s clone.

    "Rise!"

    Bang!

    Golden radiance started surging out. Jin Dian inhaled a deep breath in preparation. Even if he suspected Chen Feng¡¯s words, now that he had decided to make his move, he absolutely had to use his full power. He was also very curious as to whether his guesses were actually correct. After heunched this attack with great risk, the answer would be known to him.

    Chen Feng... let me see. How powerful you actually are then.

    Bang!

    The golden radiance that was seemingly everywhere converged together, forming a huge attack that smashed toward Chen Feng.

    Thump.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart thumped violently.

    From the first instant he had seen the surging golden radiance, he had an ominous feeling. Unfortunately, he couldn¡¯t do anything. Everything happened too fast. A peak A ss was simply too terrifying, far exceeding Chen Feng¡¯s imaginations.

    He couldn¡¯t even react in time. By the time he got a clear look at the attack, the golden radiance was already gushing toward him.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The world before Chen Feng¡¯s eyes turned into a huge expanse of gold.

    Damn it!

    Chen Feng¡¯s scalp felt numb.

    The golden radiance had blocked all his escape routes. It was apparent that Jin Dian was already suspicious of him and had prepared ordingly. Now, Chen Feng was without an escape route.

    Chen Feng sighed inwardly. Have my lies been seen through?

    Indeed, when one acted tough too frequently, it would only be a matter of time before one was discovered. How could a person who walked along the riverside prevent their shoes from getting wet? This time, it seemed like Chen Feng had stepped in mud.

    As for Redmoon...

    Chen Feng nced at the sword. The moment that golden radiance had started rushing toward him, the initially perfectly straight and firm red beam on his hand had gone limp. Evidently, Xiao Ying was terrified of this attack as well.

    There was no helping that. Xiao Ying¡¯s actual strength was deeply interlinked with Chen Feng¡¯s. Since Chen Feng was a mere C ss, as Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual underling, Xiao Ying was certainly limited to C ss as well. Even the A-ss power it had obtained had been a mere coincidence. Moreover, it did not even know how to utilize the A-ss power it possessed. As such, it was natural for the both of them to have no method of dealing with this terrifying peak A-ss attack.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. No choices left, then...

    He turned around to look at Wang Yao. The youngdy¡¯s body was still hovering midair, an endless radiance swirling around her. The present Wang Yao appeared so very simr to a fairy. He had promised Wang Yao that he would definitely catch up to her, that he would be by her side, that he would protect her against all harm. But now...

    Chen Feng sighed. At least let me fulfill my promise, okay?

    Xiao Ying , Chen Feng called inwardly.

    As Xiao Ying received Chen Feng¡¯s thought transmission, it moved its body slightly in response.

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze became resolute. "Seems like we can only put our lives on the line now."

    Since he had been acting tough all year round, it was natural that he had also considered that a day woulde when acting tough would fail. However, if there were still any other choices, he would not choose to do what he was about to do. But now...

    Shua!

    He raised his hand, and the Redmoon in his hand started to once again radiate intensely.

    Opposite him, Jin Dian merely sneered. "Hehe."

    That short instant where Chen Feng had looked back and had a change of expression had obviously not escaped Jin Dian¡¯s notice. His guesses had indeed been correct. Chen Feng was truly ying tricks here!

    If so... you guys can go die now!

    Bang!

    Jin Dian increased the intensity of his attack and smashed it into Chen Feng with a malevolent expression on his face.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes became sharp, and the Redmoon in his hand started flickering. "Come."

    Hum¡ª

    A-ss power erupted!

    Indeed, Xiao Ying was incapable of utilizing the power it possessed. However, no matter what, it still possessed that A-ss power. Hence, in such a situation where they couldn¡¯t do anything about the iing attack, they might as well take the attack on forcefully, without using any skills, techniques, or secret arts. A pure collision of peak A-ss powers. Xiao Ying was unaware of the finer ways of utilizing such power. However, if it only used the power purely to defend, that might work...

    Shua!

    In the room, two colors could be seen. The gushing gold was Jin Dian¡¯s full-powered attack, and the flickering red was the eruption of Xiao Ying¡¯s full power.

    Bang!

    The impact of this collision caused even the air to crack.

    As the two terrifying powers collided, the impact of the collision was powerful enough to rm everyone present. The dreadful fallout of the collision started spreading within the room.

    The whole world seemed to tremble at this moment.

    "Be careful."

    Everyone started avoiding the aftermath in horror while on Jin Dian¡¯s face, a smile appeared.

    Peak A ss? Scr*w your peak A ss!

    Yes, the red radiance earlier had indeed been terrifying. However, at the instant of collision, the real strength of his opponent had been revealed to him. He was not aware of why this was happening, but he was sure that his opponent was simply incapable of unleashing peak A-ss power. This Chen Feng kid had indeed been trying to trick him!

    Suddenly, Jin Dian increased the force of his attack. "Hmph!"

    Shua!

    At this moment, every single bit of red in the room seemed to fade. Only a single color remained: gold!

    There was no need for any powerful secret arts or abilities. A mere eruption of energy was sufficient for Jin Dian topletely crush this opponent.

    As for Chen Feng¡¯s red energy, it was suppressed to a single clump that couldn¡¯t even budge anymore.

    "Goodbye." Jin Dian punched forth. With that single punch, the golden radiance intensified and flooded the room. Jin Dian was sure that with this single punch of his, Chen Feng and that "Redmoon" would be crushed by him.

    However, to his surprise, as this punchnded, an astonishing feeling of softness weed him.

    "He still has other trump cards?"

    Curiously, he dispersed the golden radiance. However, when the golden radiance faded and he saw clearly what was in front of him, he was dumbstruck.

    This, this, this...

    The one blocking him was actually a super-beautiful woman that had suddenly appeared. All over her body was foam that was giving off an extremely nice scent that caused one to feelfortable when breathing it in. Draped over her body was a faint white bathrobe, seemingly something draped over her at thest minute, since it failed to cover this woman¡¯s alluring figure. The pair of peaks on her chest that were so worthy of pride appeared so steep that they seemed unconquerable. As for ourrade Jin Dian¡¯s fist, it had coincidentallynded...

    Jin Dian did not dare to believe his eyes. "This..."

    His attack, his peak A-ss attack, had been blocked just like that? It was rumored that Chen Feng had a figurine on him that seemed to be rted to Senior Soul, a figurine with a mysterious power. No other additional information on that figurine was avable. Perhaps this woman here was that figurine? And the so-called mysterious power of that figurine was actually a super powerful defense?

    But then... he was peak A ss! There existed a defense so powerful in this world? Was this fake? He tried groping the peaks. They seem real...

 Chapter 345: Isnâ€™t This Too Excessive?

    Chapter 345: Isn¡¯t This Too Excessive?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    A gentle voice drifted into his ears. "Are they soft?" Despite the gentleness, Jin Dian was so shocked his soul almost left his body.

    Shua!

    He retracted his hand in horror.

    He retreated several steps backward while talking incoherently. "A liv-living person?!" This shock was not feigned. Rather, he was truly shocked. Living person? He had initially believed that this was merely a figurine defense system summoned by Chen Feng. Never in his wildest dreams had he expected that this was an actual living person. A terrifying living person capable of blocking his attack with a random part of her body.

    How could he not be terrified of such a person? Even if he was already peak A ss, even if he was already among the elites of this world, it was precisely the height he was at that made him more aware of the horrors this world hadpared to those who were weaker.

    This person...

    "Who are you, exactly?" Jin Dian asked grimly.

    It was too astonishing that there actually existed someone capable of training their body to such an extent.

    "Who am I?" The woman sounded somewhat furious as she rubbed her sore chest. "I am your mother!" After saying that, before Jin Dian could even reply, she turned around and red at Chen Feng. Gnashing her teeth, she said, "Chen Feng!!! Aren¡¯t you being too excessive this time?"

    "Cough, cough." Chen Fengughed awkwardly. "An ident, a pure ident."

    This was truly an ident! How was he supposed to have known that thisdy here had been in the shower? If he had known this, he would have summoned her long ago. Eh, no, wait, what was this line of thought...

    She raged. "Shouldn¡¯t you notify me first if you want to do this? You won¡¯t let me off even when I¡¯m showering?"

    "If I had notified you in advance, would you have agreed to this?" Chen Feng meekly asked.

    "Naturally, no," she replied without a trace of politeness.

    Chen Feng had an innocent expression stered all over his face. "Therefore..." It wasn¡¯t like he had any other options at this time.

    "Hmph!" Gnashing her teeth, she pointed at Xiao Ying. "Did you not say that this fellow here is your bro? You are willing to send it to its death?"

    "Hehe." When Fengughed awkwardly. "When did I send Xiao Ying to its death? Us bros will share life and death. As such, we will face all dangers together. If Xiao Ying were going to die earlier, I guess the both of us would have died together, in the end..."

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    The obedient Xiao Ying nodded its body twice to express agreement with Chen Feng¡¯s words.

    "You shut up!" That woman dragged Xiao Ying over and started beating it up. "You traitorous bastard. All the power coursing within you was given by me! Now you are helping that scammer Chen Feng harm me?"

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The pitiful Xiao Ying was ravaged up badly as its body was repeatedly straightened up before being crumpled together again.

    By the side, Chen Feng could only observe a moment of silence for Xiao Ying.

    My pitiful bro, for our final victory, you will have to suffer for now.

    Indeed, this woman here was Ming Yue. With the marriage link established, both Ming Yue and Xiao Ying shared their fate of life and death. Based on Chen Feng¡¯s guesses, this ability had teleportation as one of its functions. Moreover, he had also felt a bizarre power in Xiao Ying¡¯s body. As such, he had used his Luck Aura to confirm that this was indeed the case. Next... everyone saw what happened.

    Of course, as a consequence, both of them would be beaten up by Ming Yue. She couldn¡¯t kill them, but if she wanted to beat them up badly or even cripple them, that was possible. Therefore, this was quite a risky move. If there were any other options, Chen Feng would not have dared to do this. Unexpectedly, they had happened to drag Ming Yue over just as she had been in the shower. This was truly...

    As for Jin Dian, he was already dumbstruck as he witnessed all this. What on earth was going on? This beautiful woman that had just appeared was so terrifying. As for that so-called Redmoon... it was actually capable of f*cking moving?!

    At the same time, he had finally gotten a clear look at how terrifying this woman was as well. Different from Chen Feng, this woman here seemed to be radiating from her very marrow the splendor of a person so high above others. He had only felt a simr feeling from the leader of the Mysterious Organization before. That was the aura of a superexpert. That was... an aura above A ss.

    Moreover, from her earlier words saying how the power of that red thing had been granted by her very self¡ªin other words, that Redmoon¡¯s peak A-ss power was... This also exined the reason Redmoon possessed peak A-ss power yet was incapable of utilizing it; that was simply not its original power.

    As his thoughts reached here, Jin Dian¡¯s hands started shuddering. A mere portion of her power was already peak A ss? How terrifying was this woman, exactly? He checked his wristband. Time was still passing slowly. There were still five minutes left. Never before had he ever wished that time would pass faster. Now he was the one wanting to drag this out.

    Senior Soul... please arrive faster. I can¡¯tst any longer.

    With a bitter expression on his face, he pressed the SOS button. As for everyone else? They had already hidden somewhere long ago, their bodies trembling in fear. Even an A ss was sufficient to nt fear in them. Now that an existence surpassing A ss was here, which of these ordinary gic warriors had the gall to get involved?

    In fact, they were not the only ones afraid. As Jin Dian stole a nce at Chen Feng, he noted that Chen Feng was standing by Ming Yue¡¯s side rather cautiously as well. Everyone sunk into silence, not daring to say anything. The only noise that could be heard was the sound of Xiao Ying getting beaten up by Ming Yue. asionally, her gaze wouldnd on Chen Feng, shocking Chen Feng to the point his body shivered.

    After a long time, finally, Ming Yue calmed down. As for Xiao Ying? Weakly, it gave Chen Feng a single nce before returning to its spiritual room.

    Chen Feng coughed awkwardly.

    It has been hard on you, my bro!

    Now that Ming Yue was done unleashing her wrath, she returned to normal. She started rearranging the simple bathrobe she had draped over her, exposing only her shoulders. Next, she assumed a seductive pose before looking at Chen Feng. "In truth, if you are still interested in me, I don¡¯t mind."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He mourned Wang Chun inwardly.

    Jin Dian opened his mouth meekly. "Erm..."

    "Oh, yes. There is still you!" Killing intent started surging out of Ming Yue¡¯s eyes as she rubbed her sore chest.

    Jin Dian apologized without hesitation. "I was wrong! I was trying to beat Chen Feng up. I had zero intention of hurting your esteemed self."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He had a feeling like this battle had transformed into a yhouse. The present Jin Dian was like a kid that wasining to the teacher: "Teacher, Chen Feng bullied me."

    Ming Yue merely snorted coldly as a response. "Hmph!" Suddenly, she stared grudgingly into the distance. "It¡¯s about time that idiotic Soul arrived, right?"

    Instantly, Jin Dian trembled. Idiotic... Soul... F*ck, this woman is indeed a senior at that level!

    His heart felt bitter. Finally, he understood the reason all the assassinations attempts on Chen Feng had failed. It wasn¡¯t due to Chen Feng being formidable; rather, the person behind him was simply excessively frightening. It was indeed true that every formidable person had an even more formidable backer. Now Jin Dian was thoroughly horrified.

    However, it was rather normal for someone to have a formidable backer. Among the several peak A sses of the Mysterious Organization, which of them was without a formidable backer? Now, the only thing he could look forward to was Senior Soul¡¯s speedy return.

    Ming Yue nced at him and said, "Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t make any moves on the junior generation," seemingly seeing through what he was thinking. With a sneer, she sat down cross-legged and started waiting. "I will be right here, waiting for Soul toe and do battle with me."

    Only at this did Jin Dian breathed out in relief.

    However, he felt that this scene seemed somewhat familiar. What did this scene resemble? Just as he was contemting, suddenly, Ming Yue¡¯s ice-cold gazended on him. Instantly, Jin Dian was so terrified to the point he did not even dare to think of anything anymore. He sat upright and still, not daring to move.

    As long as this drags on until Senior Soul¡¯s return...

 Chapter 346: Battle!

    Chapter 346: Battle!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Mysterious Organization.

    The research department was fully surrounded. All sorts of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s high-energy weaponry had been taken out as well. All these weapons were aimed straight at the research department. All sorts of A-ss warriors, B-ss warriors, and other members conducting missions near the headquarters had returned. Even with this, they only had the courage to watch on from far away as everything unfolded, not daring to approach the building.

    That ce had be a forbidden area.

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    "I heard that a terrifying person with strength simr to that of our leader¡¯s appeared."

    "That girl?"

    "Mhm. Don¡¯t you see how Boss Jin does not even dare to budge currently?"

    "It seems like we can only wait for leader¡¯s return."

    "For an expert at this level to have appeared here... is she here for revenge?"

    "I have no idea. Perhaps this is trouble that arose due to our leader¡¯s love life out there?"

    "Perhaps."

    Under countless gazes, time slowly passed. The time that seemed so difficult to obtain was progressing forward until, finally, there was only one minute left on the countdown. Wang Yao¡¯s experiment was about toplete.

    Di! 59 seconds!

    Di! 58 seconds!

    The countdown was ending soon. At this moment, Jin Dian was abruptly overjoyed. He could feel a familiar power approaching this ce.

    Senior?! You have finally returned? Jin Dian¡¯s emotions surged.

    Idiot!

    "??? " Toward this, Jin Dian was dumbstruck. What was going on?

    "Senior?" Cautiously, Jin Dian asked, "You are not here yet?"

    "There is a dy. I¡¯m upied with something."

    The current Lu Hun was seething with anger. Initially, he should have arrived in a short time. However, for unknown reasons, when he had been splitting space to travel through space, he had encountered a chaotic space. The space tunnel that he usually used had copsed as a result. Next, he had opened up a new space tunnel. However, in the new space tunnel, the space became unstable. Granted, he had long ago be ustomed to this, since all sorts of random chaotic circumstances would indeed arise when traveling through space. As long as he avoided those, it would be fine. With his strength, any problem he encountered could be easily solved.

    This time, though... when he opened the space tunnel, the sight that weed him was space turbulence everywhere. He trulycked the courage to travel through that chaotic mess. As such, he had been forced to travel using the ordinary method. What an awful day! Even up until now, he was still wondering the reason for his apparent bad luck today.

    "I shall wait for your return," Jin Dian said deferentially.

    "Wait my ass." Lu Hun was so angered by this idiot he wasughing instead. "Take them captive."

    Jin Dian had a forceful smile on his face. "But that girl..." She was an expert at the level of the leader. How was it possible for him to stop her?

    Lu Hun angrily snapped, "Idiot! Do you think that your leader would allow a person at such a level to step foot into the Mysterious Organization? Do you believe that he would be able to sit still if she was truly such an expert? If she was truly that powerful, she would have killed all of you long ago."

    What? Jin Dian widened his eyes. Could it be...

    Lu Hun was gnashing his teeth. "What else? Take them captive right this moment! That Chen Feng must die!"

    Finally, Jin Dian came to himself. "Yes!" Finally, he understood the source of that bizarre feeling and the sense of familiarity Ming Yue was giving him. The hell. Wasn¡¯t this girl behaving in exactly the same manner as Chen Feng had earlier when he had been acting tough?

    Jin Dian was furious.

    In short... that b*stard Chen Feng assembled a team to trick me after seeing how he alone wouldn¡¯t be sessful. F*ck!

    Jin Dian was truly furious. He was a self proimed intelligent person who had a n to deal with everything. Unexpectedly, he had been tricked like a fool by them to the point that he had been so terrified of them he had been acting like a dog!

    Abruptly, Jin Dian¡¯s gaze became cold. "Chen Feng!"

    Ming Yue stood up. "Mhm?"

    "Hmph!" Without any hesitation, Jin Dian punched at her. In response, Ming Yue defended against his punch.

    Bang!

    After a loud bang, the ashen-faced Jin Dian stared at the Ming Yue that had been forced back over 10 meters by his punch. Yes, Ming Yue¡¯s strength was indeed quite formidable. She was at least an A ss and was capable of surviving his attack. However, she was definitely not as terrifying as he had thought earlier. She hadn¡¯t even reached peak A ss! She was merely aparatively powerful A ss, that was all.

    Jin Dian¡¯s anger-filled voice became hoarse. "So... you are someone who is all show as well." This was the first time he had ever felt such fury.

    Ming Yue licked her seductive red lips and said, "This young brother here, you sure have a good eyesight. I am not only all show, I¡¯m a fiery show. This young brother here, are you interested in trying?"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He was aware that being a viin boss from the Nether Realm, Ming Yue should be a veteran as well in a certain aspect. However, it was truly out of Chen Feng¡¯s expectation that Ming Yue was so very experienced in this. In the future, if anyone were to say that a woman such as the demonic princess or the infernal queen would be clear as ice and clean as jade and never have been in love, he would definitely give that person a kick.

    "Hmph." Jin Dian¡¯s gaze chilled. "When I have you captive, I will teach you a lesson."

    He checked the time. There were still 30 seconds left. He was aware that this was a rebirth project with an extremely low sess rate. However, since Chen Feng¡¯s group had put such effort ining here, there had to be something he was unaware of. No matter what, he would not allow them to seed. The final 30 seconds would be their moment of death as well.

    "Kill!" Jin Dianmanded.

    Bang!

    The whole Mysterious Organization started shaking. Their members had been extremely eager to move the moment they had seen that Ming Yue¡¯s actual strength was merely A ss. This was a good chance for them to contribute greatly to the organization. Yes, Ming Yue was still powerful. However, could she evenpete with their quantity?

    "Kill her. Screw this ¡¯super expert.¡¯ She¡¯s merely A ss!"

    "Yeah, she hasn¡¯t even reached peak A ss. Our sheer numbers are sufficient to kill her."

    They started swarming her.

    Di! 29 seconds! Time was still moving forward.

    The radiance surrounding Wang Yao was still flickering and growing in intensity. However, at this moment, the numerous members of the Mysterious Organization were storming them as well. None of them seemed capable of resisting this.

    At this sight, the members of the research project paled. They couldn¡¯t help being fearful, since this was the Mysterious Organization¡¯s headquarters. Without the presence of an actual "mysterious super expert," when there was nobody else for them to fear here, the terror of the Mysterious Organization became apparent.

    "Xiao Ying!" Chen Feng shouted.

    Xiu!

    At that shout, the recovered Xiao Ying streaked into Ming Yue¡¯s body.

    Ming Yue groaned. "Oh." Once again, she felt like her body had been stuffed full. That familiar sense of strength had returned to her! Granted, even this level of strength was only a portion of her true strength. However, in a ce like this...

    Bang!

    Instantly, a terrifying power erupted out of Ming Yue¡¯s body.

    "Scram!"

    With a bellow, the power of the Nether Realm descended and flung everyone away.

    "So powerful!"

    "This power..."

    "Peak A ss. The hell? She reached peak A ss?"

    Everyone was rmed. At that single instant, the power Ming Yue had with erupted had actually reached peak A ss. Presently, there were still 25 seconds left on the countdown.

    Jin Dian sneered. "What¡¯s there to fear?" Just because these people were afraid of her did not signify that he would be simrly afraid of her as well. The eruption earlier had indeed been powerful. However, that had only been power at the level of peak A ss. He would still be able tobat a person at such a level.

    "Let me fight her." Golden aura started surging out of Jin Dian¡¯s hands as he charged forth to fight Ming Yue. Since they were both simrly at peak A ss, he had no fear of her.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    They started engaging in a chaotic battle midair. On the ground, only Chen Feng and the endless members of the Mysterious Organization were left.

    Chapter 347: Final Moments

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Ming Yue¡¯s solemn voice could be heard. "Chen Feng, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to help you any more than this. If you want to leave, I can take you away right now, but if you stay, I¡¯m afraid that when Soul returns..."

    Escaping was the only thing she was still capable of doing at this time.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply as his gaze darted across the crowd around him. On his face, a faint smile appeared. "There¡¯s no need for that. It is sufficient for you to block Jin Dian alone. As for the rest, leave them to me."

    Ming Yue nked. "Mhm?" Leave them to you?! Are you kidding?

    Indeed, among the crowd on the ground with Chen Feng, none of them were peak A ss. However, there were more than 10 A-ss warriors among them, as well as countless B-ss and C-ss warriors. Even she would not dare to have a direct confrontation with them.

    Leaving them to Chen Feng? But then, they had no other options anyway. At a time like this... she could only choose to put her trust in Chen Feng. Despite that, Ming Yue also decided that the moment Chen Feng fell into any danger, she would take him away immediately. She was definitely not willing to die for no apparent reason at a ce like this just because of the marriage link she had with that snake. For this very reason, she had specifically left a part of herself back there.

    Chen Feng... do you truly have a method of dealing with this?

    Currently, as Jin Dian and Ming Yue started their battle in the air, the other members of the Mysterious Organization finally arrived in the vicinity of Chen Feng. This scene of Chen Feng being swarmed by a huge crowd was rather spectacr, in a way.

    If everything progressed in a regr fashion, Chen Feng would definitely notst longer than three seconds under the attack of this crowd. Facing such unfavorable circumstances, it would be extremely easy for Chen Feng to end up dead. He would not be able to do anything against this bunch of A-ss warriors.

    At this moment, nobody realized that Chen Feng had seen a familiar figure among the crowd. She did not recognize Chen Feng, but Chen Feng recognized her.

    What is she doing here? Oh yeah, the new recruits were all dispatched to various departments, like how I am here because I was dispatched to the research department. Perhaps this is the reason she¡¯s here as well? If so... my dear friend, I will be counting on you.

    A cruel smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around, and instantly, Chen Feng vanished, reappeared beside her, and shed toward her. "Scram!"

    Xie Zhongtong was shocked. "Psychedelic ¨C Dreand!"

    At the same time, Chen Feng¡¯s Myriad Illusions was activated as well.

    Myriad Illusions, hypnotize!

    With Chen Feng¡¯s current strength, the power he was able to unleash with his Myriad Illusions was something a mere Xie Zhongtong was incapable of resisting. Instantly, she was hypnotized by him before she unleashed her power.

    Instantly, that dense fog of pink started spreading around. This ability was capable of ignoring ss, of ignoring defense, of ignoring everything, as this was essentially not an ability meant to do any harm to others.

    Shua!

    Almost instantly, the magical fog enveloped the entire entrance of the research department. The members of the Mysterious Organization that had been about to rush into the research department nked momentarily before halting their steps. Presently, there were still 20 seconds left before the countdown ended.

    Next...

    A cruel smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face, "Dear members of the Mysterious Organization, here, feel the love of the organization."

    Shua!

    Once again, Chen Feng activated his Myriad Illusions.

    Ability filter: enhancement!

    Chen Feng himself was already powerful enough to confront a B-ss warrior. Now, with his full-power enhancement, the powerful ability unleashed by Xie Zhongtong was able to instantly cover every single B-ss warrior present. All of them started embracing each other as the pink fog drifted around them. Even some of those powerful A-ss warriors couldn¡¯t escape the effect of the pink fog.

    "This aura feels somewhat wrong..."

    "Careful!"

    "Ah... what poked me?"

    "Scram!"

    "Don¡¯t touch me!"

    Within the dense pink fog, countless people sunk into confusion. There were indeed some of them that had managed to maintain their reason. Unfortunately, they were swarmed by the others that had been affected by the pink fog.

    Just like that, at the entrance of the research department, a rge-scale show" was being performed. Even though Chen Feng had made use of Xie Zhongtong this time, she was, after all, considered an acquaintance of his. As such, Chen Feng did not mean her any harm. Just as he was about to take her out of the crowd, he noticed that she wasn¡¯t at all affected by that ability. Finally, Chen Feng recalled that this pink energy was her very own ability, and as such, she shouldn¡¯t be affected. If so, that expression she currently had on her face...

    Enjoyment? Looking at the excited expression on Xie Zhongtong¡¯s face, Chen Feng¡¯s lips twitched and he shook his head. Well, seems like she does not need any rescuing after all.

    "It¡¯s about time," he muttered inwardly. Looking at his luck value, which was dropping rapidly, Chen Feng knew that Soul was going to arrive very soon.

    The consumption of luck value when affecting reality was extremely terrifying. However, if his target was doing something involving probability, Chen Feng could use this as the very lever with which he moved the world. Hence, when Luck Aura had indicated that only a certain amount of luck value would be required to increase Soul¡¯s travel time when returning, Chen Feng had activated his Luck Aura without any hesitation.

    Fifty points of luck value had caused Soul to spend twice as much time to return.

    Naturally, as for what role exactly luck yed in Soul¡¯s journey back here, that was unknown to Chen Feng. And now...

    Chen Feng looked at the countdown timer. Twenty seconds, 19 seconds, 18 seconds...

    Even with this confusion caused by him, even with the nonstop activation of his Luck Aura, how much longer could hest? Even he himself couldn¡¯t answer this. This was especially true because the Mysterious Organization had a huge amount of experts.

    "This energy is capable of ignoring all defenses and invading one¡¯s body directly."

    "Destroy the energy first."

    "Yes!"

    Some of the smarter ones among the crowd started sitting down cross-legged to force the pink energy out of their bodies. Xie Zhongtong¡¯s strength was still too weak, after all. Even with Chen Feng¡¯s enhancement, she was unable to truly affect these A-ss warriors. After a slight amount of time, these A-ss warriors were able to recover. The only reason for their dy was because they were trying to avoid being messed up by the crowd around them.

    Shua!

    From a particr person, a terrifying light wave started dispersing. At another side, a cold snort from a person stunned all the low-level warriors around him.

    Purge!

    Shua!

    Shua!

    There was also another person who, with a wave of his hand, summoned cold icy rains that descended from the sky.

    Purification!

    It only took several seconds to clear the pink-filled world. Only at this did the gic warriors who had sunk into confusion earlier start waking up.

    "End Chen Feng."

    "Understood."

    Shua!

    Several A-ss warriors split apart the pink fog and charged toward Chen Feng. This time, they were sure that Chen Feng had already exhausted all his trump cards and could only wait for death.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Come!"

    Bang!

    Energy Equipment, full activation!

    The attacks startednding on him. At this instant, an intense radiance resulting from this sh started blooming.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The bright radiance intensified, and the area Chen Feng had stood in was directly reduced to ruin by the bombardment. The attacksunched by several A-ss warriors at the same time were indeed astonishing.

    "Is he dead?"

    Instinctively, they looked over. However, when the radiance faded, what they saw caused their expressions to change greatly. There Chen Feng stood, perfectly fine. In front of him was a petite silhouette that had blocked off all attacks on his behalf.

    "Wang Yao?!"

    The expressions of almost everyone there changed greatly. When their gazes once againnded on theboratory, they noted that the countdown on the screen had reached zero at an unknown point in time. The countdown had ended. Wang Yao¡¯s rebirth experiment had formallypleted.

    Shua!

    Wang Yao stepped forward in a serene manner.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    With every step she took, there was a flicker of bright light. Wang Yao¡¯s strength, which had previously been peak A ss, had actually increased!

    Shua!

    The A-ss experts retreated uniformly. What joke was this? This was Wang Yao... They might not be familiar with the Ming Yue that had appeared earlier, but they were too clear on Wang Yao¡¯s strength. In their hearts, Wang Yao was an existence that was a hundred times scarier than Ming Yue!

 Chapter 348: The Crux of Breaking Out of This Predicament

    Chapter 348: The Crux of Breaking Out of This Predicament

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Mysterious Organization.

    A green sh was streaking toward the headquarters. The Lu Hun who had always maintained his calm was currently filled with killing intent. Throughout his travel back here, he had seen how unlucky a person could truly get.

    He was a superexpert, an existence surpassing A ss. Even when he traveled, his speed was still unrivaled. Despite that, he had still been dyed for a long time by all sorts of random urrences. Only God knew how high he was flying. Speedwise, he was already traveling at such a speed that even space itself was almost being ripped apart, the scenery before his eyes turning indistinct due to his sheer speed. However, for reasons unknown, there were always some weird things smashing into his defense barrier.

    For example, bird poop, or even those giant birds themselves. Granted, such circumstances were in fact quitemon. After all, he was traveling at too fast a speed. As such, these things would unavoidably happen, but he would normally only encounter several of these. Before anything could be felt, the bird poop would be disintegrated by the energy in his barrier. As for those giant birds, they would be directly smashed to death and would be unable to affect his barrier in any way.

    This time, though, the bird poop was so huge in amount that they were raining upon him like bullets. His bad luck progressed, and a huge flock of giant birds started appearing before smashing into his barrier. By this time, he was already somewhat dumbfounded.

    Indeed, his barrier was still intact despite all this. However, it waspletely covered in bird poop. As such, he was forced to waste his time by stopping to clean up the poop from his barrier. Just as he was done cleaning up and started flying, once again...

    Apart from this, there were even satellites falling on him from the sky. Why the h*ll were these things even falling? There were also energy storms, which were hurricanes formed of unique energy. During his travel, he was unlucky to the point that his heart grieved.

    Lu Hun was extremely sure that someone must have used some sort of ability that generated bad luck on him. However, no matter how many times he attempted to purify his surroundings, he was unable to get rid of his bad luck.

    "I¡¯m finally here."

    Distantly, the Mysterious Organization became visible to him.

    Shua!

    His eyes started shining. Even from several tens of kilometers away, he could see the figure blocking in front of Chen Feng. Wang Yao! She had actually appeared!

    "Hmph!"

    Lu Hun¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. Both Wang Yao and Chen Fengbined had caused the Mysterious Organization¡¯s to suffer a 30% drop in strength. This time, he would absolutely not allow them to escape.

    Shua!

    The energy surrounding Lu Hun started bubbling as a clone shot out of him and descended upon the Mysterious Organization with the speed of lightning. Before his body could arrive, his clone arrived first.

    Bang!

    The terrifying clone charged toward Wang Yao directly.

    "Senior Soul!"

    Everyone from the Mysterious Organization was overjoyed. They were now saved! An overjoyed expression appeared on their faces. If it was possible, none of them were willing to face this demonic girl.

    Shua!

    The green sh charged toward Wang Yao. However, just as he reached Wang Yao, a gentle radiance suddenly appeared and started spreading. With Wang Yao as the center, a mysterious power erupted.

    Shua!

    The shockwave engulfed the whole area. Everywhere it passed, everything paused and turned ck and white.

    "What happened?"

    With a horrified expression on their faces, everyone was paused right where they stood.

    Their brains were still working normally. They were able to see and hear, yet their bodies would not listen to theirmands. The whole world had seemingly transformed into a ck-and-white world. As for the attack of Lu Hun that had been about tond, it stopped midair and hovered there just like that.

    This feeling...

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils shrunk abruptly. Time! Time itself was being stopped. However, different from what he had seen previously, this seemed somewhat different, as their brains weren¡¯t paused.

    Shua!

    Distantly, a shiny silhouette started slowly walking toward them. On the face of the fiery-red silhouette was a smile. In this paused and gray world, this silhouette appeared so conspicuous. Instinctively, everyone focused on this silhouette. Instantly, their hearts were overwhelmed with shock.

    That was because the red silhouette walking toward them was another Wang Yao. Both Wang Yaos exchanged nces as a smiling expression appeared on their faces. Wang Yao lifted her hand. Two hands that looked exactly the same connected midair.

    Shua!

    At that instant, a dazzling radiance appeared and the entire world was seemingly engulfed by it. At the same time, the paused gray world was instantly reinstated and a terrifying power started blooming.

    Bang!

    The light wave swept past everyone. The clone released by Lu Hun crumbled apart before he had even reached Wang Yao.

    "Ah¡ª"

    With a mournful scream, the clone formed of green energy transformed into countless light particles before dispersing.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    All the other members of the Mysterious Organization inhaled a mouthful of cold breath. Wang Yao... why were there two Wang Yaos here? How was she this powerful?

    Chen Feng¡¯s thoughts started racing. Indeed...

    This was the true Wang Yao he knew, thebination of the Wang Yao from the present and past. As both bodies connected, her cycle of rebirth waspleted.

    "Hmph!"

    Bang!

    With a single snort from Wang Yao, a bright explosion urred and everyone around her was instantly sted away. Before someone at Wang Yao¡¯s current level, they were simply helpless.

    Chen Feng was shocked. "This is the power of a peak A ss?" He knew that the present Wang Yao was a genuine peak A ss. But then... even if she¡¯s now a peak A ss... Chen Feng nced at the distant faintly discernible green figure. With the destruction of yet another clone of his, the furious Lu Hun had finally appeared. This time, his main body had appeared. The main body of that super expert, the legend himself, Soul!

    "Ming Yue!" Chen Feng bellowed.

    "Understood."

    As she nced at that green radiance, even Ming Yue herself couldn¡¯t help but to shiver.

    "Go," Chen Feng said in a low voice.

    "Mhm."

    Wang Yao waved her hand and blocked all the members of the Mysterious Organization before leaving speedily with Chen Feng. However, at this moment, Lu Hun had already arrived.

    Lu Hun sneered. "Wanting to escape?"

    Hum¡ª

    The diamond on his forehead started shining dazzlingly.

    Shua!

    The entire border of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s headquarters was instantly enveloped by a green radiance. The terrifying power radiating from the green radiance caused everyone there to tremble in fear. Every single possible escape route was henceforth sealed. Even Ming Yue and Wang Yao were forced to stop.

    Lu Hun sneered. "Escaping? Chen Feng... do you think that I will allow you to escape this time?"

    Lu Hun sneered. He had been enduring the existence of this bug known as Chen Feng for way too long. He had even lost several of his clones due to this guy. Now that he hade personally, he would definitely not allow Chen Feng to escape.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The members of the Mysterious Organization surrounded them speedily.

    Jin Dian greeted Lu Hun with a deep tone. "Senior."

    Lu Hun nodded. "You have done well."

    Although Jin Dian hadn¡¯t managed to stop thepletion of Wang Yao¡¯s experiment, he had still prevented their escape. Since they were still trapped here, Lu Hun was able to ignore everything else that seemed to have gone wrong.

    As for those from the research department? They had all been killed in the aftermath of the earlier attack. Although they had helpedplete Wang Yao¡¯s experiment, they had, after all, done a lot of evil in the past through the various human experiments they had conducted. Chen Feng¡¯s group had never intended to spare them. Moreover, they were also the only ones who had known exactly what Wang Yao¡¯s secret was.

    Hum¡ª

    Green radiance was everywhere; all escape routes had been blocked from the Chen Feng trio.

    Wang Yao forced a smile. "Sorry."

    Chen Feng hadpleted his part by assisting her with thepletion of her experiment. She was supposed to take on the task of taking Chen Feng out of this ce. Beyond her expectations, Lu Hun had appeared here. He was excessively powerful. This time, they would most probably die here.

    During this moment of crisis, instead of being nervous, Chen Feng was exceptionally calm instead. "No worries." His brain started racing. Mysterious Organization... Jin Dian... Lu Hun... A ss... B ss... The scene of everything around them started rapidly flitting past his brain. Presently, they were trapped at the center of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s headquarters. Surrounding them were three inner and three outer blockadeyersprised of A-ss and B-ss warriors. On top of all that, two super experts, Jin Dian and Lu Hun, were also here.

    Naturally, the only one they truly cared about was Lu Hun. If Lu Hun attacked with his full power, he alone would be sufficient to kill all three of them. As such... the crux of solving their current predicament lied with Lu Hun.

 Chapter 349: Space Turbulence

    Chapter 349: Space Turbulence

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    How should I solve this predicament? Using the figurine of the youngdy? Chen Feng rubbed the figurine. Since he had found out that this item here contained some unique power, he had taken it everywhere. However, apart from the asional passive defensive capabilities this figurine disyed, Chen Feng truly had no idea how to use this figurine.

    It would be too unreliable to depend on this figurine. If so, were there any other methods of escaping Lu Hun? Chen Feng¡¯s eyes started darting around. When his gazended on Wang Yao, his heart thumped. Perhaps there was one more method they could try.

    Wang Yao, a peak A ss with me- and space-rted abilities. Due to the rebirth experiment, she possessed two different sets of abilities. Moreover, she had trained both these abilities to a certain level as well. That was the reason she was so powerful. If so, how about using a space tunnel?

    Chen Feng looked at Wang Yao. "Are you capable of opening up a space tunnel?"

    "Under normal circumstances, that wouldn¡¯t be a problem," Wang Yao replied without hesitation, "but now that this ce is being blockaded, it is natural for space to be included in the blockade as well. That green radiance was too bizarre. Normal methods will never be able to help us escape."

    "What if we opened up a space tunnel by force?" Chen Feng asked conscientiously.

    Wang Yao nked. Force?

    The so-called "opening by force" was basically using space-rted abilities to sh with the ability used to blockade the space. As long the attack was sufficiently powerful, it would be able to rip apart the air to form a space tunnel. Using this method, the sess would no longer be dependent on the strength of Lu Hun¡¯s defense. Rather, it would depend on whether the space could bear with the power exerted on it. As long as the space was not firm enough to bear with the power, it would definitely be ripped apart.

    In fact, with the strength of Wang Yao and Lu Hun, if they decided to go for an all-out battle, the space around here would definitely be ripped apart. This would create space undtions that often times were extremely dangerous. The moment the space undtions became sufficiently powerful, it would transform into space turbulence. And a ce with space turbulence ...

    As an example, if space tunnels were equivalent to multiple streets, in normal circumstances, what was in the tunnels would normally remain on their respective streets. The asional connecting point of different streets would be governed by a set of rules, akin to a traffic light. If so, what was space turbulence?

    Space turbulence was an area where countless space tunnels started interweaving with no fixed form to the tunnels or any rules governing the connecting point. At any given moment, all sorts of bizarre items, energy, or even space items would pop out of the tunnels. This was an extremely dangerous area.

    The danger of space turbulence was apparent when even Lu Hun did not dare to enter the space tunnel forcefully when seeing space turbulence within.

    Instantly, Wang Yao thought of this. "Are you..."

    "Will you be able to open one?" Chen Feng asked with a deep tone.

    Wang Yao nodded. "Yes!"

    Chen Feng nodded. "Very good. If so, leave everything after to me."

    Without any hesitation, Wang Yao nodded. "All right."

    "???" Ming Yue widened her eyes as she heard this. "Have the both of you gone crazy? That¡¯s space turbulence we are talking about here! It¡¯s fine for Chen Feng to be ignorant due to him being a weakling, but you, youngdy, you are following along with his craziness?"

    Wang Yao nced at Ming Yue coldly. "Does this have anything to do with you?"

    Ming Yue: "..." She could feel a vague sense of hostility toward her from this youngdy. Why was that? Wait, could it be that this youngdy is thinking that I am the mistress? How excessive! Ming Yue rolled her eyes. If it wasn¡¯t for Xiao Ying, she wouldn¡¯t have even bothered staying here.

    Chen Feng had no change in his expression. "If you are unwilling to follow, you are free to leave."

    Ming Yue felt helpless. "You both..." Due to her unique identity, she was able to leave this world any time she wished. Here, she was instead the safest person. But then, if something were to happen to Xiao Ying... "How troublesome." Ming Yue clenched her teeth. Why had she been so stupid as to use the marriage link on Chen Feng? Forget it. One day, when she recovered her peak strength, this marriage link would naturally stop working on her. It was natural for Ming Yue to have her own ns as well. Now, though, she could only follow along with Chen Feng¡¯s ns.

    Chen Feng nced at his surroundings. "Very good." The green radiance controlled by Lu Hun was already shrinking toward the inner region of the headquarters. Evidently, he was also worried that Wang Yao and Ming Yue might work together to escape. As such, he hadn¡¯t been making any rash moves. Presently, the Mysterious Organization¡¯s confinement barrier had beenpleted as well. They only needed to focus on preventing the three¡¯s escape. That was all.

    "Now... you no longer have any escape routes." Finally, when everything was in ce, Lu Hun started making his move. However, right at the same time he made his move, a formidable power of space bloomed abruptly from Wang Yao¡¯s hands.

    Bang!

    An astonishing power was sted toward the air.

    Lu Hun was confused. "???" What the hell? Space tunnel? That shouldn¡¯t be the case. With Wang Yao¡¯s strength, she should be able to easily see that a space blockade had been put in ce as well. If so, what was she trying to do?

    Bang!

    Another loud explosion could be heard. Thunderous sound reverberated all through the air. The sky itself seemed to be trembling at this instant.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    After several loud explosions, a huge hole was sted through the pitch-ck sky.

    Hu¡ª

    Hu¡ª

    A terrifying power started spreading around the hole. The hole started emitting and absorbing all sorts of energy. At the same time, a seemingly boundless energy storm appeared and started spreading toward the Mysterious Organization.

    Lu Hun was shocked. "Space turbulence?" The attack he was about tounch was forcefully stopped. Had these people gone crazy? He couldn¡¯t believe his eyes. That was space turbulence! These people¡¯s action of creating this thing here was no different than suicide.

    Hu¡ª

    The members of the Mysterious Organization couldn¡¯t even stand properly anymore as their bodies started swaying, blown by the force of the storm. Now, they were forced to use all their effort to avoid being blown away by that storm.

    Lu Hun narrowed his eyes. "Could it be..." Were these people nning to escape while everyone was in confusion after creating this space turbulence? This was the only likely exnation for this action.

    He sneered. "How funny." Did these people truly believe that by creating space turbulence, the Mysterious Organization would loosen the blockade on space, thus allowing them a chance to escape through a space tunnel? How naive!

    Lu Hun started barking outmands. "Jin Dian, fully activate the blockade. Reinforce the rules of space around here. Stabilize the chaotic space turbulence. We can¡¯t give them any chance to open a space tunnel."

    Jin Dian had a malevolent expression on his face. "Understood." He vowed that not even a nuclear weapon could stop him from trapping Chen Feng¡¯s group here, even if the whole headquarters needed to be destroyed to achieve that.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Numerous gushes of energy started emerging from the Mysterious Organization. Astonishingly, the space that had been on the verge of copse due to the space turbulence actually stabilized somewhat from this. It could be seen that the Mysterious Organization was still formidable after all, especially when they worked together. Not a single of their members would think of escaping.

    Lu Hun snorted. "Hmph!" The green radiance had been shrinking all this while, and now, only a one kilometer radius was left in the headquarters. The entirety of the zone where Chen Feng¡¯s group could move about freely was now visible to the naked eye.

    Hum¡ª

    After confirming that Chen Feng¡¯s group had no way of escaping, Lu Hun made his move. Light started swirling around his hand. However, surprising him, just as he was about to kill Chen Feng, a group of silhouettes could be seen shing past. Chen Feng¡¯s group had actually charged head-on into the space turbulence.

    Lu Hun: "???"

    Jin Dian: "???"

    Space turbulence? Had they gone crazy? Lu Hun widened his eyes. That was space turbulence, a ce governed by nows! Regardless of how powerful one was, regardless of how sure someone was of their ability to protect themself, any random space undtion would be able to eliminate that person easily, body and soul included. There was also the possibility of that person being dragged into a different world, a world with no life. That person might be trapped there forever, unable to die even if he wanted to.

    Lu Hun was the first person to be rmed by this sight. "These people..." Now, only one question remained to him. Should he go after them?

 Chapter 350: Collapse

    Chapter 350: Copse

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chase after them? Just because Chen Feng¡¯s group was courting disaster, that did not mean he had to do the same. That was a region of space turbulence. There was no point in a super expert like him risking himself in such a ce with those death seekers. That was too dangerous. Moreover, that was space turbulence, which people rarely survived. Those who entered were as good as dead.

    Based on the gathered statistics, so far, people that had been dragged into regions of space turbulence numbered in the thousands of millions. All of them had entered due to various reasons, but none of them had ever returned alive.

    Space turbulence was so scary that there was a particr space-rted secret art called Banish, whose single function was to banish one¡¯s enemy into a region of space turbulence. This was an extremely feared ability. Now someone had taken the initiative to enter such a thing? Chen Feng¡¯s group was truly courting death. This was a fact apparent to everyone there.

    But then... if he decided to not go after them, what if Chen Feng¡¯s group truly survived? Since Chen Feng had had the courage to enter, it was possible he had a method of surviving that ce as well. Chen Feng was too bizarre a person, to the point that even Lu Hun himself had failed to kill Chen Feng after two previous attempts. Who dared to guarantee that Chen Feng would definitely die this time?

    Moreover, together with Chen Feng was Wang Yao and another mysterious expert.

    As for the statistics indicating that no one had ever survived a space turbulence, simrly, never had someone as astonishing as Chen Feng, who was capable of killing A ss and peak A ss while in C ss, appeared before. On top of that, someone like Wang Yao, who was capable of killing peak A ss at this young age, had never appeared before either.

    Chen Feng¡¯s group was simplyprised of super geniuses that wouldn¡¯t even appear in a thousand years. The entire Mysterious Organization had tried preventing their escape. Despite the fact that a lot of their members were not here, Jin Dian and Lu Hun were both here. If even with this, Chen Feng was able to escape, the people of the Mysterious Organization might as well livestream themselves eating shit.

    Lu Hun clenched his teeth. "Chase!"

    Ah?

    Jin Dian and the rest were instantly stupefied. The f*ck? For real? That¡¯s a region of space turbulence!

    Lu Hun inhaled deeply as his eyes gleamed coldly. "Don¡¯t chase after him blindly. Chen Feng¡¯s group indeed nned meticulously. However, they ignored an extremely important point: my strength is not something they could have imagined." Lu Hun sneered and pointed midair. "Condense!"

    Shua!

    Multiple torrents of terrifying green radiance rushed out into the air above him. Next, the entire space turbulence was enveloped by a bright and resplendent green radiance. With this, the endless leaking energy that was streaking everywhere slowed down by several hundred times.

    Lu Hun ordered, "Go! A radius of 50 kilometers will be temporarily under my control."

    Jin Dian and the rest were overjoyed. "All right."

    Shua!

    With excitement, they charged forth.

    It was indeed as Lu Hun had said. The initially chaotic space stabilized, as the region of space turbulence transformed into a thick and stable space tunnel. However, Lu Hun was also clear that this would only remain for 50 kilometers. That was as far as he could control. Hence, they had to catch up to Chen Feng before Chen Feng and his group escaped further.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Numerous figures charged into the region of space turbulence. Within that space tunnel that appeared unstable and might copse anytime, a hunt began. Jin Dian, Lu Hun, and the rest were chasing after Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed slightly. "Not good." From the moment he had felt the space tunnel stabilizing, he¡¯d had an ominous feeling. He had never imagined that Lu Hun would possess such heaven-defying ability. An expert at this level was indeed something unpredictable.

    "What should we do?"

    Chen Feng calmed himself down. Their initial n had been quite simple: charge into the chaotic space before using Luck Aura to avoid all danger and then leave the space tunnel after putting some distance between them and the Mysterious Organization. Now, though, with Jin Dian and the rest chasing after them, his original n had to be given up.

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    Sounds of activity could already be heard behind them. In this narrow space tunnel, the moment a battle erupted...

    Chen Feng looked at the space walls around him. If this tunnel was in its normal chaotic state, the mere activation of his Luck Aura would be sufficient to kill all these people. Now, though, the initially chaotic space that could copse at any moment had been frozen by Lu Hun. Chen Feng had lost the only advantage he had held over them. As for the distance left for them to travel...

    Chen Feng stared ahead of him. The remaining path seemed endless.

    He was aware of the fact that, despite Lu Hun¡¯s strength, it would be impossible for him to lock the entire region of space turbulence. The question now was whether the three of them would be able to even escape the area that was under Lu Hun¡¯s control.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Green radiance started bubbling up behind them. The Mysterious Organization¡¯s members had arrived.

    Ming Yue looked at Chen Feng. "What should we do?" She could return to her world to save herself, but what about Chen Feng?

    "I¡¯m thinking." Chen Feng¡¯s brain started working overtime.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    A boundless killing intent could be felt. Fortunately, Ming Yue and Wang Yao were able to block their attacks. Due to the tunnel being narrow, the both of them were sufficient to stop the advance of all the pursuers. As for Lu Hun, he could only use a part of his power to attack, since most of his power was upied with stabilizing the space turbulence. As such, Wang Yao and Ming Yue were able to defend against his attacks as well.

    However... A-ss and B-ss warriors were arriving without stop. These people were not quite at Jin Dian¡¯s level, but they were not weak. With their quantity, the moment they worked together, they would be able to unleash a terrifying attack as well.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    As more and more members of the Mysterious Organization arrived, the pressure exerted on Wang Yao and Ming Yue increased. They truly couldn¡¯t hold on much longer.

    Ming Yue was anxious. "Chen Feng!"

    "I know." Chen Feng had never stopped thinking. Every single piece of information avable to him was flitting past his brain as he deduced without stop. He was simting all sorts of avable escape methods in his brain. Unfortunately, regardless of the method he simted, the conclusion he reach was their eventual death.

    He checked his luck value and noted that only 300 points were left.

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "Too little."

    Back then when he had been weaker, every single luck value had seemed so effective. Every single point had been able to y a big role. Now that his strength had increased, the enemies he faced had grown increasingly stronger as well. With that, the consumption of his luck value had be increasingly terrifying as well. The recovery rate of one point per hour was no longer able to keep up with his usage. What could he aplish with 300 luck value? Nothing! In moments of crisis like this, without 5,000 or 6,000 luck value, he wouldn¡¯t be able to do much.

    Ka!

    Ka!

    A crisp sound could be heard. It was clear that the defense barrier erected by Wang Yao and Ming Yue was on the verge of copse. When defending passively like this, it would be apetition of energy exhaustion. Since there were only two of them, how was it possible for them topete with the entire Mysterious Organization?

    What to do? Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s eyes became sharp.

    With an overcast tone, Chen Feng called, "Wang Yao."

    Wang Yao looked at him doubtfully. "Mhm?"

    Chen Feng looked at the point connecting their defense barrier and the Mysterious Organization¡¯s attacks. "Detonate it." The amount of energy concentrated there was sufficient to cause any onlooker to tremble in fear. This was a chaotic clump of power unleashed by four peak A-ss experts and various other members of the Mysterious Organization.

    Ming Yue gnashed her teeth. "Have you gone crazy? We haven¡¯t even traveled far. If we detonate it now, the entire space will copse, and even without the influence of the space turbulence, we will fall back into the Mysterious Organization¡¯s headquarters after leaving this tunnel. With Lu Hun there, it is simply impossible for us to escape. Everything we have done so far will have been a waste."

    "Trust me." Chen Feng stared straight into Wang Yao¡¯s eyes. "Now."

    A smile appeared on Wang Yao¡¯s face. "All right."

    Bang!

    An rming energy abruptly emerged, and instantly, the entire space tunnel copsed. Everyone was flung out as a terrifying energy started engulfing everything around the center of the explosion.

 Chapter 351: Heh, You Guys Are Surrounded

    Chapter 351: Heh, You Guys Are Surrounded

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The sound of an explosion stunned countless people. The members of the Mysterious Organization that had remained at their headquarters were all staring at the sky with unbelieving expressions. Somewhere up there, in the sky that had still appeared normal previously, a huge hole had been sted.

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    A huge amount of bizarre energy started bursting out of that hole and flooding the Mysterious Organization. At this instant, countless equipment was destroyed.

    Du¡ª

    Du¡ª

    The sound of rms started reverberating everywhere as the red light of the rms zed. A part of the Mysterious Organization started burning as well. The entire Mysterious Organization, at this moment, sank into chaos.

    "What happened?"

    "No idea."

    "I suppose they caught up?"

    "Look, they areing!" someone shouted with a high-pitched voice after seeing the numerous figures sted out of the hole in the air. Apanied by the energy sting out, these figures started raining down andnding all over the Mysterious Organization.

    "Quick, start saving them."

    "Yes."

    The members of the Mysterious Organization rushed over.

    At the same time, apanied by a cold snort, Lu Hun and Jin Dian bothnded on the ground safely. They merely watched on at the chaos unfolding before them with cold and detached smiles on their faces.

    "Seems like they are out here now as well."

    "Isn¡¯t that just nice?" Lu Hun had a cold expression. "If they had traveled along the space turbulence to escape, we wouldn¡¯t have been able to do anything. Now that they have instead dropped back into our headquarters, they won¡¯t be able to do as they wish anymore." He raised his head and stared at the sky enveloped by the green barrier he had erected. As long as his energy barrier stood, Chen Feng¡¯s group would have no hope of escaping. Now, they were akin to a turtle in a jar, and capturing them was only a matter of time. Lu Hunmanded, "Capture them as soon as possible."

    "Understood." Jin Dian smiled slightly. "Senior, don¡¯t worry. The tricks that Chen Feng had always been proud of had been continuously foiled. Now, I suppose he has exhausted all his tricks. Furthermore, after dragging this out for so long, the experts of our organization are going to be returning soon. The longer this drags out, the more this will disadvantage him."

    "Good." Lu Hun did notment much. Distantly, a peak A-ss expert of the Mysterious Organization could be seen returning. An inescapable was already prepared, waiting for Chen Feng. Logically, with the current arrangement they had here, Chen Feng¡¯s group would certainly die here. However, when one recalled what had previously happened, hadn¡¯t every single one of their ns appeared wless before Chen Feng had proceeded to foil them?

    Lu Hun narrowed his eyes. Chen Feng... This person was too much of a freak. Even if one were to ignore that bizarre good luck he seemed to always possess, he had an astonishing rate of improvement as well. Such a person could not be left alive. Lu Hun would never be able to sit still with this person alive.

    "Increase our manpower guarding the outeryer by onefold," Lu Hun said suddenly.

    Jin Dian nked. "Ah? But Senior, if we send more people there, all ongoing missions will need to be stopped. What should we do with the losses the organization will suffer as a result?"

    Lu Hun had a gloomy expression. "I will take on all the repercussions. Presently, they are most certainly lurking somewhere near our outeryer. Send more A-ss warriors there. We must not allow them to escape."

    "All right," Jin Dian answered.

    Lu Hun nodded. "Go fast, then." He was clear that despite the strength of Wang Yao and Ming Yue, their team of three had a fatal weakness: Chen Feng. Regardless of the tricks he had once used to kill A sses, he was essentially still a C ss. The strongestbat power he could erupt with was merely B ss.

    Chen Feng... this time, I wonder where can you escape?

    With all the members of the Mysterious Organization working together, order was soon restored to the chaotic headquarters.

    With the continuous return of their members, thebat power of the Mysterious Organization was now much higher than it had previously been. To add salt to the wound, another peak A-ss expert had returned. Now, with the sessive return of their experts, the Mysterious Organization had finally reverted back to its original form as an extremely scary organization.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Radiance swirled around without stop, scanning the area in search of Chen Feng¡¯s group. Almost all members of the Mysterious Organization were looking for Chen Feng. Some of their scouts were already searching the entire headquarters. Chen Feng simply had no hope of escaping.

    "Was that area searched?"

    "I suppose."

    "What do you mean by suppose? Go search it again."

    "All right." The scout helplesslyined, "Every nook and cranny of the headquarters must be searched. On top of that, the scanners must be brought along and our search process must be recorded. Is all this even necessary?"

    "What do you know? Do you know who Chen Feng is? He is our organization¡¯s most wanted person," someone said.

    The scout nked. "Wasn¡¯t that Wang Yao?"

    "Didn¡¯t Wang Yao end up captured by us? She might be strong, but as long as one is stronger than her, one will be able to defeat her. As for this Chen Feng, he is so weak you don¡¯t even know what you should do with him. However, it was this very weak him that killed peak A-ss warriors. This time, by his lonesome self, he was even able to rescue Wang Yao from our captivity. This person is truly dangerous. Moreover, you know what? Up until now, we have yet to figure out how he entered the headquarters.

    "Oh, you asked for the reason for recording the search process? Hehe, it¡¯s quite simple. That is because the instant we encounter Chen Feng, we might die directly before we can even transmit any messages. In order to ensure urate updates on our search results, each of us must be connected to the inte at all time. Each of us must be recording our search process as well. The moment something seems off with one of our recordings, the others will be able to conclude that something must have happened."

    As that person finished his words, everyone around him sunk into silence. Several scouts gulped. As they looked around, their bodies chilled. This Chen Feng was actually this terrifying! When they once again resumed their searches, they were much more serious and careful at their jobs than before. However, no matter how they searched, Chen Feng¡¯s group was nowhere to be found. Three living people had seemingly vanished just like that.

    Lu Hun sneered. "Don¡¯t worry. They will be found soon..." The members of the organization were not the only ones searching; Lu Hun was searching personally as well. His spiritual sensor was much more powerful than these members¡¯. Within a short period of time, four-fifths of the huge Mysterious Organization had already been searched by him. Only one-fifth of the Mysterious Organization was left.

    Lu Hun pointed at the map. "Here. Send more people over."

    "Yes."

    The members of the organization rushed over. However, they had barely arrived there before losing all contact with everyone else. When they were found, only corpses remained.

    "They have finally appeared!"

    Rather of being rmed, everyone was overjoyed.

    "Chen Feng¡¯s group is indeed here!"

    Jin Dian was stirred. "Very good. Let us catch this turtle trapped in the jar. Hahaha."

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Groups of Mysterious Organization¡¯s members started approaching that ce. Lu Hun and the rest followed along noiselessly. However, just as the remaining unsearched area was shrinking, suddenly, a huge explosion reverberated.

    Bang!

    At the center of the Mysterious Organization, at themand center containing all sorts of information, a huge explosion had unexpectedly erupted.

    Everyone turned around abruptly.

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    Hum¡ª

    There, a firm energy barrier had already been erected. That huge building that was themand center was totally enveloped by that barrier, and a familiar voice was broadcasting from that building.

    "Hello, hello, hello. Can anyone hear me? Mhm... my dear friends of the Mysterious Organization, I have a very unfortunate announcement for you all. This ce has been conquered by me. What I mean is... this building... Hey, hey, Ming Yue, what are you doing..."

    Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s speech stopped. Next, a female¡¯s voice could be heard.

    "Let me y around with this. Haha, dear brothers of the Mysterious Organization. You guys have been surrounded by us, yo."

    At this, the expressions of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s members darkened.

    Surrounded? How the f*ck are the three of you surrounding over ten thousand of us?

    At the same time, they realized that they had been tricked by Chen Feng. Chen Feng had first created an impression that they were at the outeryer of the headquarters before silently heading toward the Mysterious Organization¡¯s center and snatching control of theirmand center.

    However, what could Chen Feng¡¯s group aplish even with themand center? That was a mere building. Even if it had a strong defense system, so what? Regardless of the strength of the defense system there, it would still require an energy supply. There were thousands and thousands of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s members out here. As long as they attacked without stop, that building¡¯s energy supply wouldn¡¯tst.

    Chen Feng... what exactly are you nning?

 Chapter 352: No Escape!

    Chapter 352: No Escape!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Shua!

    Themand center¡¯s energy barrier activated. Looking at the faint barrier enveloping themand center, the members of the Mysterious Organization were all ashen faced. None of them had expected that, while they were hunting for Chen Feng, he would turn around and upy theirmand center instead.

    Jin Dian¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "He¡¯s courting death. Senior, I will deal with the energy."

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Multiple cannons were taken out of storage and aimed straight at themand center. Surprisingly, though, when the cannons were about to be fired, Chen Feng merely smiled calmly.

    Hum¡ª

    An electromaic wave shed past. Instantly, all of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s equipment malfunctioned.

    Jin Dian¡¯s expression became unsightly. "Damn it."

    Chen Feng actually figured out the controls of themand center in such a short time?

    As the name implied, themand center was the ce that regted the entire Mysterious Organization and thus the most important ce in their headquarters. There, countless defense systems were installed. The strongest energy system was installed there as well. It was a ce impossible to conquer within a short period of time. Something like the electromaic wave used earlier was merelymon defense equipment.

    What made Jin Dian doubtful was the fact that even with the top-notch security system with a real-time verification system, Chen Feng had somehow infiltrated theirmand center. Nobody apart from their own people could even enter it. Disguise? That wouldn¡¯t even work.

    Then again, they hadn¡¯t even figured out how Chen Feng had infiltrated their headquarters. As they recalled all the seemingly unexinable feats of Chen Feng all these while, they were sure that this Chen Feng definitely possessed some umon ability. If they were able to capture him to study him...

    Jin Dian looked at Lu Hun. "Senior."

    Lu Hun stared at the energy barrier. "Do it. As long as the barrier is destroyed, they won¡¯t be able to escape anywhere."

    Jin Dian nodded. "Yes."

    Lu Hun watched on coldly.

    All their equipment and high-energy weapons were now out of order. As such, they could only use their excessive manpower to exhaust the defense barrier¡¯s energy supply.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The people of the Mysterious Organization started surrounding themand center. Countless attacks startednding on it. Instantly, the whole area was flooded by a multi-colored radiance that enveloped the entiremand center. The sound of explosions reverberated without stop.

    If everything progressed ording to their n, Chen Feng wouldn¡¯t be able tost more than several minutes. However, right at this moment, a cold radiance shed past.

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    Two people copsed onto the ground, dead.

    "Be careful!" Jin Dian had an ominous feeling and instantly unleashed his peak A-ss power to forcefully stop the attacking toward him. It was actually an attackunched from themand center, an energy arrow.

    Jin Dian had an ominous feeling. "Weapon?"

    There¡¯s a weaponry system in themand center as well?

    "I thought only defenses were allowed to be installed in themand center?" Lu Hun asked.

    Jin Dian smiled bitterly. "I have no idea either. In our records, only defense equipment has been allowed to be installed in themand center. If so, this energy arrow..."

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    Two additional cold radiances shot out, and another two warriors copsed onto the ground. What was scary was the fact that, when the energy arrowsnded, they would explode, damaging their surroundings as well.

    Weapon! There actually existed a weaponry system in theirmand center!

    "Are you sure this is a weaponry system?"

    "Yes."

    After receiving the confirmation from the weaponry department, Jin Dian was rmed.

    No wonder Chen Feng had aimed to upy and lock down theirmand center. If a weaponry system was installed there and Chen Feng chose to unleash the weapons toward the entire headquarters...

    At this thought, Jin Dian¡¯s expression changed. He looked at Lu Hun. "Senior."

    Lu Hun¡¯s gaze darted around. "All right." Initially, they believed that Chen Feng would be trapped here until his death. Unexpectedly, these idiots had actually broken the rules of their organization and installed a weaponry system in theirmand center. Lu Hun snorted coldly. "Trash."

    However, Chen Feng, do you think that this is sufficient? How naive!

    Shua!

    Lu Hun¡¯s hand reached out.

    Hum¡ª

    The green radiance enveloping the entire headquarters started shrinking. From a diameter of 10 kilometers, it shrunk until only several hundred meters were left. With this, the green radiance intensified.

    Lu Hun waved his hand calmly. "Condense."

    Shua!

    Next, the green radiance enveloped the entiremand center and the few buildings around it. The initially dim green radiance became brighter. The power of this green barrier of his was indeed astonishingly dreadful when all of it was concentrated to this small area.

    Jin Dian nced at the green barrier and knew that with this Chen Feng was finished. Senior Soul was simply too powerful. This energy barrier was something he wouldn¡¯t be able to prate even after attacking with his full power. This was how powerful the legendary existence Soul was.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Countless energy arrows shot out of themand center. This time, though, all the energy arrows were blocked by the green barrier. Instantly, all the arrows started exploding. Unfortunately, no damage was done. The power of the arrows and the barrier were simply in two different leagues. Weaponry system? Before Soul, it was reduced to nothing but a joke.

    Lu Hun¡¯s gaze concentrated on Chen Feng standing behind a certain window of the building. "Now, how are you nning to escape?" Both their gazes met, seemingly creating sparks midair, and Lu Hun sneered. "You won¡¯t be able to escape."

    Chen Feng smiled. "Are you certain?"

    Presently, Lu Hun had recovered the former air of arrogance he had always had around him. "Naturally." Casually, he said, "Within the zone covered by my green radiance, you have no escape routes. Everything is under my control. For example, the underground tunnel you are trying to dig."

    Lu Hun waved his hand lightly.

    Bang!

    Instantly, a certain underground tunnel below themand center copsed. At this, Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed.

    Lu Hun smiled toyingly. "Do you believe that my green radiance will only work aboveground? This green world is a spherical zone, with me as the center. Within this zone, I am unequaled."

    Bang!

    With a single point by Lu Hun, the entiremand center trembled. Only when the radius of the green world shrunk from covering the entire headquarters to only covering this small area here would Lu Hun¡¯s control over his green world reach its peak. The initial barrier that had only been able to prevent Chen Feng¡¯s escape transformed into some sort of domain. This was the true strength of Lu Hun.

    Shua!

    Lu Hun waved his hand, and the air in front of him started twisting. The moment the green world waspleted, Lu Hun could already conclude how this would end. Regardless of who it was, even a superexpert at his level, that person would not be able to escape his green world. Surprising him, Chen Feng instead smiled at this instant.

    Lu Hun frowned. "Mhm?"

    Chen Feng smiled. "Who told you that I¡¯m nning to escape?"

    Not escaping?

    Before Lu Hun could even react to Chen Feng¡¯s words, distantly, an astonishing aura appeared.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Two familiar powers could be felt erupting.

    The two powers had erupted at the remaining one-fifth of the area they hadn¡¯t searched earlier. That was the only ce they hadn¡¯t searched after the copse of the space tunnel. There...

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    The two streaked away and vanished instantly.

    "It¡¯s them!"

    The expressions of Lu Hun and the rest changed greatly. Those two were Wang Yao and Ming Yue!

    "How is that possible?" Jin Dian cried out in rm. When had those two escaped? When Chen Feng had broadcast his voice earlier, he had clearly heard Ming Yue¡¯s voice. How could they...

    Shua!

    Everyone¡¯s gazended on themand center. There, on two chairs behind Chen Feng, two figures were seated. Due to the distance and the barrier around that building, they hadn¡¯t been able to get a clear look at the two figures. However... weren¡¯t those two Wang Yao and Ming Yue?

    "Are you talking about them?" The beaming Chen Feng turned the chairs around. Next, two corpses fell out of the chairs.

    Shua!

    The expressions of the people from the Mysterious Organization changed. Those two corpses were precisely the members previously assigned to themand center. So Chen Feng had killed them and pretended that Wang Yao and Ming Yue had still been in there? That was truly...

    Finally, they understood what had happened.

    Lu Hun shut his eyes. "This was my mistake." When his green world was used to envelop the entire Mysterious Organization, the scope was toorge. Hence, only one function remained: the function to prevent escape. Despite this, this single function was definitely sufficient to stop Wang Yao and Ming Yue¡¯s escape. But then, he had chosen to shrink his own green world. Wang Yao and Ming Yue would not be able to escape the green world. However, when he started pulling his green world in, they were instead left outside of his green world. He had been neglectful. It was truly out of his expectations that all these things Chen Feng had done had only been to allow those two to escape.

    Lu Hun looked at Chen Feng. "Is there a need for this? You can save them, but you won¡¯t be able to save yourself."

    The distant Chen Feng smiled as he stared at Lu Hun. "I know that. I never intended to leave in the first ce."

    Hum¡ª

    Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s entire body started shining. "From the moment I decided toe here, I never expected to return alive. Even so... I, Chen Feng, have never suffered any losses all this while! Even the Mysterious Organization must pay a price for my death!" Chen Feng¡¯s killing intent surged as he stared coldly at the people of the Mysterious Organization. "Perhaps it¡¯s time for me to let you all witness what true power looks like. Let the entire Mysterious Organization apany me in my death."

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s whole body started shining dazzlingly with a red radiance that was emitting a peak A-ss power. Once again, that rming power appeared here.

    Not good.

    Everyone¡¯s expression changed greatly. All this while, Chen Feng had been giving them an incredibly freakish impression. An example would be this current incident, where he, a mere C ss alone, was capable of turning the entire Mysterious Organization upside down. They were too clear on how dreadful an existence Chen Feng was. If a guy like this was performing a suicide attack, how terrifying was it going to be?

    It was amon knowledge that attacks such as self-destruction, blood explosion, and the like were able to unleash a might of tenfold or over a hundredfold the user¡¯s original power. Now...

    "Leave!"

    Everyone¡¯s expression changed greatly, Lu Hun included. He might have had absolute confidence in himself, but he would never choose to face this suicide attack of Chen Feng¡¯s rashly. He was sure he had to prevent his body from suffering any sort of injuries here.

    A cruel smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "It¡¯s toote."

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Everyone from the Mysterious Organization retreated in horror. The red radiance intensified. Where Chen Feng stood, nothing could be seen except boundless red. That bizarre red radiance appeared even more freakish as it mixed with Lu Hun¡¯s green radiance. The mash of red and green caused fear to rise from the depths of all their hearts.

    Flee, flee, flee!

    All of them retreated frantically. Right at this moment, a silhouette charged out noiselessly. In a low-profile manner, he moved noiselessly. Nobody noticed him. Even Lu Hun and Jin Dian were only able to see a vague silhouette and nothing else.

    Yi?

    An amazed expression appeared on Lu Hun¡¯s face.

    At this moment of utmost danger, beyond all expectations, he stopped retreating. Simrly, Jin Dian, who had also noticed this, stopped retreating as well before looking toward themand center. There, in front of that red radiance so bright one couldn¡¯t even stare straight at it, a dark shadow could be seen.

    Shua!

    Lu Hun and Jin Dian instantly narrowed their eyes. That red radiance was too dazzling and bizarre, and it was full of a chaotic power. All thisbined caused them to be unable to look straight at it. However, when they concentrated their gazes, they were still able to notice something. There seemed to be someone there? A person seemed to be approaching Chen Feng cautiously. Seemingly afraid of being noticed by Chen Feng, he was moving noiselessly, his steps light.

    Ten steps! Nine steps! Eight steps! Seven steps!

    ...

    Every single step he took, the red around Chen Feng intensified. Three steps! Two steps! One step! At this point, that red radiance was already akin to a sun as the peak A-ss power it was emitting surged to the limits. Just as the red radiance was on the verge of exploding, an abrupt change urred.

    Pop!

    A light sound could be heard.

    Shua!

    Instantly, all the red seemed to vanish. The brightness of the area reverted to how it had been. Due to the abrupt shift in brightness and that astonishing energy undtion, the eyes of almost everyone there pained and sunk into a short duration of darkness. After a short moment, they recovered their vision. By the time they looked at themand center once again, they were all dumbstruck.

    There, an ice-cold dagger had been stabbed into Chen Feng¡¯s chest, right where his heart was.

    Unbelieving, Chen Feng turned around and looked at the figure that had suddenly appeared. From his uniform, he seemed to be someone assigned to themand center as well.

    Chen Feng pointed at him in an unbelieving manner. "You..."

    Xiu!

    Chen Feng was knocked onto the ground by that person. Next, he started stabbing Chen Feng¡¯s chest without stop as blood continued to spurt out. Outside, everyone was stupefied. Granted, they were unable to get a clear look at Chen Feng, since he was currently sprawled on the ground. However, that stuffy sound of flesh getting stabbed could be clearly heard.

    Chen Feng was seemingly trying to drag this out. "Who are you..."

    Pop!

    Another stab.

    "I, Chen Feng..."

    Pop!

    Another stab. That person did not reply to any of Chen Feng¡¯s words. Coldly, he stabbed Chen Feng without stop, blood sttering around him. After a long while, finally, Chen Feng¡¯s voice and the sound of flesh getting stabbed could no longer be heard. At this moment, the entire world seemed to have sunk into silence. Through the window of themand center, a bloodied figure could be seen standing up. That figure walked toward the window before staring at everyone out there, giving off an extremely cold feeling.

    Who is this person?

    They were all iparably rmed. Since when had such a person, a firm and decisive person who had not even given Chen Feng a chance to say anything , been a part of the Mysterious Organization? But then, that was understandable. When facing a person like Chen Feng, giving him a chance to talk was akin to courting death.

    All this while, they had wanted to capture Chen Feng. They had nned to find out more about Chen Feng¡¯s secrets before torturing him to death, but then again, they couldn¡¯t deny that killing Chen Feng in such a clean way was instead the most fitting method of dealing with him.

    Shua!

    That person walked toward the control desk and pressed a button.

    Hum¡ª

    Next, all the defense systems of themand system were deactivated. The energy barrier vanished as well.

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    Countless figures started streaking forth. Almost instantly, everyone reached the floor that person was in. There, lying on the floor below him, was an ice-cold corpse.

    Chen Feng! He¡¯s dead?

    Everyone gulped. This person who had turned their organization upside down and had been nning to drag everyone here to death together with him had died just like that? Jin Dian walked over to take a look. Indeed, Chen Feng was no longer breathing.

    Is this death real or fake?

    Pu!

    He pierced his hand into the corpse¡¯s heart. There was no reaction whatsoever.

    Mhm... seems like he¡¯s dead for real.

    Lu Hun walked over noiselessly and nced at the corpse.

    Pu!

    Once again, Chen Feng¡¯s body was stabbed. That stiff corpse had no reaction whatsoever.

    Lu Hun raised his brows. "Dead for real?" He had witnessed way too many fake deaths by this Chen Feng guy. As far as he was concerned, even the dead could be resurrected using certain unique methods. For example, that figurine Chen Feng had on him.

    Lu Hun snorted coldly. "Hmph."

    Bang!

    A boundless radiance bloomed in his hand.

    Bang!

    A terrifying green energy ballnded on Chen Feng¡¯s corpse before exploding. The entirety of Chen Feng¡¯s corpse was sted into countless miniscule pieces.

    "Only with this can I feel relieved," Lu Hun muttered. Jin Dian and the rest exchanged nces and nodded slightly, expressing their agreement.

    Seems like Chen Feng is truly dead now.

    Chapter 354: A Man¡¯s Dignity

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At a certain location, Wang Yao and Ming Yue could be seen. Presently, they were already far away from the Mysterious Organization. Only when they were certain that nobody from the Mysterious Organization was chasing after them did they stop running.

    "Finally, we¡¯re out," Ming Yue grumbled. When had she, the illustrious leader of the Nether World, been made to act in such a wretched manner? If she possessed her peak strength, she absolutely would not have feared that green guy. Now, the only person she was worried about was Chen Feng. If Chen Feng died, Xiao Ying would most certainly end up dead as well. If Xiao Ying was dead, then she would...

    Ming Yue inhaled deeply. Something like the marriage link was not omnipotent. Since she dared to use it, she naturally possessed the means of getting rid of the link. However, the price she would have to pay for that was something she was unwilling to pay.

    "Hopefully you can truly escape," Ming Yue muttered. She stopped her steps and looked at Wang Yao, only to notice that this youngdy¡¯s expression was still as serene as in the past. Apart from the faint trace of worry in Wang Yao¡¯s eyes, she did not appear too anxious.

    Ming Yue was somewhat shocked. "Hey, are you not worried for him?"

    "He said that he will definitelye back," Wang Yao answered calmly.

    Ming Yue was speechless. "You trust his words?"

    God, in that circumstance, it was obvious that Chen Feng was sacrificing himself to save them. Those tricks of Chen Feng¡¯s might be able to stay undiscovered momentarily, since his Myriad Illusions was truly a stunning ability. However, all of that was, after all, still mere tricks. In the end, Myriad Illusions was still too weak when it came to pure strength. The most it could aplish was covering their escape...

    If so, what was going to happen to Chen Feng? Perhaps he truly had a way of surviving. But then...how was he nning to stay alive? One had to know that being captured and tortured for information was a form of staying alive as well. Perhaps he could directly swear his allegiance to the Mysterious Organization and be one of them?

    Ming Yue shook her head. She was not optimistic about Chen Feng¡¯s future. Even if he survived this...

    Somewhat mockingly, Wang Yao said, "What should I have done, then? Should I have told him that I would never give up on him and started wasting my time, weeping endlessly? When he told me to trust him, should I have covered my ears and refused to listen to him? Next, we could start discussing who was the better candidate to sacrifice? Finally, the enemies reach and none of us are able to escape?"

    Ming Yue: "..."

    "Since he said he will survive, I shall ce my trust in him." Wang Yao paused and shut her eyes. Her somewhat trembling eyshes were the only evidence of her worry. "Even if this is a suicidal n, I will believe in him! That is a matter of his dignity, the dignity of a man!"

    She understood Chen Feng well. He once said that there would be a day where he stood before her, blocking everything for her. This time, during their moment of danger, when they had managed to reach the outeryer of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s headquarters, when he had told her his n, she¡¯d had to listen to him! She hadn¡¯t been able to think of any other options anyway.

    As a result, Chen Feng had indeed aplished what he¡¯d said. He had attracted all the enemies, allowing Wang Yao and Ming Yue to escape. This was Chen Feng¡¯s dignity. Even if he had to die, he would die smiling. What if she refused to listen to him? She would most certainly have died there, dying in front of Chen Feng. If Chen Feng was able to survive after that, he would be carrying hatred and guilt in his heart for the rest of his life. As such, she¡¯d had to leave! Wang Yao had been able to see all this clearly. As such, she had decided to leave without the slightest hesitation.

    Ming Yue nced at Wang Yao. "What if he really ends up dead?"

    "..." Wang Yao sunk into silence and stared in the Mysterious Organization¡¯s direction with a resolute gaze. "If he ends up dead, I will ughter the entire Mysterious Organization before dying myself as well."

    After that, she no longer said anything.

    Lunatic! Ming Yue stared straight into Wang Yao¡¯s eyes and noted that this youngdy was truly serious. The hell? I¡¯m supposed to be the viin, right?

    Ming Yue felt somewhat helpless. The way this plot was developing, where one wanted to eliminate the entire world due to the death of one¡¯s love, was supposed to be the plot for superviins like her. Why the heck was this couple here snatching her plotlines? Now she was finally aware that these two were simrly lunatics. Chen Feng was a lunatic who always threaded the edge of death and immersed himself in situations where he could die with any slight carelessness. As for Wang Yao, she was simrly a lunatic, a lunatic apanying Chen Feng!

    Is this how the people of this world behave? Suddenly, her head ached. Now, she somewhat missed Wang Chun. Mhm... my Wang Chun is still more adorable, after all. Obedient and clever. On top of that, when I¡¯m bored, we can have a quickie at any time.

    Sha!

    Sha!

    The sound of footsteps could be heard. When Ming Yue raised her head, she noticed that Wang Yao was leaving.

    Ming Yue was surprised. "You... are not waiting for him?"

    Wang Yao stared into the distance and, with her cold yet tender voice, said, "He told me not to worry. Since I have already shattered the bottleneck of my A-ss limit, it¡¯s time for me to break through, surpassing A ss... Wait for my return. I shall personally wee him."

    Sha!

    Sha!

    She drifted away.

    "..."

    Ming Yue was speechless.

    Trust... was trust something that truly existed? At least, in the world she hade from, something like trust did not exist.

    Shua!

    A cold breeze drifted past her. Ming Yue¡¯s figure vanished as well.

    Presently, in the Mysterious Organization¡¯smand center, at the same moment Chen Feng was performing a suicide attack on the entire Mysterious Organization, when that red radiance reached the peak of its intensity, a particr person awoke.

    It was a girl. Somewhat vacantly, she looked around. The sight of numerous corpses sprawled all over weed her.

    Shua!

    Her memories started recovering.

    Chen Feng...

    As she recalled what had happened, her body shuddered. Earlier, this guy who was scarily young had stepped in here wearing Energy Equipment. After his arrival, everyone here had instantly been killed. She had only been able to give him a single nce before losing consciousness.

    That guy...

    She tried standing up and noticed that her body was aching all over. As she lowered her head, she saw that the wound on her chest was still dripping with blood.

    She pointed at her chest softly. "Condense!" A pink radiance flickered into existence. Next, her wound started healing slowly.

    "Luckily... the attacknded three millimeters away from the fatal point..."

    The mere recollection of what had happened earlier scared her endlessly. If the attack hadnded three millimeters away from where it hadnded, she definitely would have died. Back then, Chen Feng had merely been attacking casually. If he had truly been focusing on her, she would most certainly have ended up dead then and there.

    She rejoiced. Lucky. Suddenly, she sensed the distant red radiance.

    Doubtfully, she walked over. "What happened there?" When she opened the door, a scene that caused her to choke weed her. A person was silently approaching Chen Feng. Next... he arrived, stabbed, and killed Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng seemed tenacious, as he wasn¡¯t immediately killed. However, that cold-looking figure did not utter a single word, focusing only on stabbing Chen Feng. A countless amount of wounds were left on Chen Feng¡¯s body by that sharp dagger.

    Pu!

    Pu!

    Blood sttered everywhere. Only when the entire body of that person was soaked in blood did he stop stabbing. Chen Feng was definitely dead.

    She was iparably stunned. "How powerful."

    Soon, that person removed themand center¡¯s energy barrier. The seniors of the Mysterious Organization came over and destroyed even Chen Feng¡¯s corpse. With that, the crisis of the Mysterious Organization ended. That person had rescued everyone in the Mysterious Organization.

    Doubtfully, Jin Dian stared at this cold-looking person. "Who are you?" This was someone Jin Dian had never seen before. Presently, that person was turning around slowly. Finally, the youngdy got a clear look at his face.

    The youngdy¡¯s emotions surged. "It¡¯s you?!"

    Jin Dian was surprised. "Little Tong, you know him?"

    The youngdy nodded. "Mhm, mhm. After Chen Feng attacked themand center... perhaps due to me being too weak, he onlynded a casual attack on me and did not notice that I survived. I thought that everyone was already dead and I was the sole survivor here. Unexpectedly, someone else survived."

    She was crying tears of joy. Everyone she knew was already dead. Most of them had been killed trying to save her by blocking in front of her before being killed by Chen Feng. Surprisingly, she was still able to see an acquaintance here.

    "Oh, oh, oh."

    Only at that did everyone understand how she had survived. It was reasonable, since a person as meticulous as Chen Feng would most certainly kill everyone here the moment he entered themand center. He definitely would not leave anyone alive and risk getting sneak attacked. Xie Zhongtong had merely survived by fluke...

    "Very good." Jin Dian patted the cold-looking person¡¯s shoulder. "You are truly not bad and have great potential. Hehe, what¡¯s your name? In the future, you can follow me."

    That person raised his head and calmly stated, "Wang Feng."

 Chapter 355: Trending Again

    Chapter 355: Trending Again

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Wang Feng, an 18-year-old newly recruited genius of the Mysterious Organization. In the recruitment tests, he had obtained multiple first ces. Next, he had left with the leader of the research department and joined the research department. During the Wang Yao incident, he had been assigned to themand center for information gathering and been lucky enough to avoid the massacre that had happened at the research department. During Chen Feng¡¯s subsequent attack on themand center, he had survived by fluke as well.

    Witnesses: Xie Zhongtong.

    Eyewitnesses: Numerous members of the Mysterious Organization.

    Background check: Passed.

    ...

    Now, Wang Feng became incredibly popr in the Mysterious Organization. What kind of person was Chen Feng? He was the organization¡¯s most wanted person, the person even Lu Hun had failed to kill multiple times in the past. The several A-ss experts that had encountered him had all lost their lives as well. He was a horrifying person.

    Now, he was dead. Dead by Wang Feng¡¯s hands. Moreover, Wang Feng had killed Chen Feng while Chen Feng was in the midst of a suicide attack on the entire Mysterious Organization. In a certain way, Wang Feng had saved a huge amount of Mysterious Organization members by killing Chen Feng. As such, after the end of that incident, his poprity had risen at an inconceivable speed.

    As for the adverse reactions toward the growth of his poprity? It was nonexistent. Those who were against Wang Feng were all beaten badly by the people who had been saved by Wang Feng when he had killed Chen Feng. These people were treating Wang Feng as their beneficiary. In a single night, Wang Feng transformed into the most weed genius of the Mysterious Organization, with none capable of surpassing his poprity.

    Naturally, the Mysterious Organization performed multiple checks and verifications on Wang Feng. Through these checks, his identity was ascertained. After all, Wang Feng was someone who had gone through the recruitment together with Xie Zhongtong. As such, there were no issues found in his identity.

    Jin Dian stared at the results of the recruitment test. "Wang Feng..." Wang Feng was already astonishingly talented just from his results in the early rounds. To top it off, in the final test, he had also obtained a stunning score of 100 points. One had to know that luck was something that one normally couldn¡¯t control.

    A person so lucky...

    Jin Dian sighed. No wonder Chen Feng had been killed by this guy. Chen Feng had been too freakish a person, and he¡¯d had astonishing luck to top it off. Apart from his intelligence, the scariest advantage Chen Feng had held over others had been his luck. Now, he had finally encountered Wang Feng, a person with even better luck than him. Just look at Wang Feng¡¯s history. When Chen Feng had been ughtering people at the research department, Wang Feng had been assigned somewhere else. If that hadn¡¯t happened, Wang Feng would have ended up dead right there at the research department. This was how luck could contribute to a person¡¯s sess.

    At themand center, Chen Feng hadunched the simplest of attacks to kill the people there in order to reduce his energy exhaustion. In the process, he had underestimated Wang Feng and Xie Zhongtong¡¯s strength and only left them injured instead of dead. Only with all this had it led to the ending they had all witnessed, where the injured Wang Feng crawled back up before killing Chen Feng. This had all been thanks to luck! This was also the real reason luck was one of the tests in the recruitment.

    The Mysterious Organization had been in operation for so many years. They had long been aware of the several rare types of powers that ranked above others in this world. Evidently, they had recruited an exceptional genius in this batch of recruitment.

    Naturally, unknown to Jin Dian, with the death of everyone in the research department, regardless of what "Wang Feng" said, nobody was able to prove otherwise. Moreover, thanks to Chen Feng, a part of the gathered information in themand center had been lost as well. As such, nobody could actually verify Chen Feng¡¯s stories, which proved a great help for him assuming the role of Wang Feng.

    Jin Dian¡¯s eyes shone. "Perhaps..." What height could this Wang Feng kid reach in the future? Thanks to Chen Feng and Wang Yao, the organization had suffered disastrous losses during the past two years. As a result, their strength had been greatly weakened. Now, the Mysterious Organization had to nurture a new batch of talents as soon as possible. As for the person who would receive the highest priority, it might very well be this Wang Feng.

    Jin Dian burst out inughter. "This kid..." Luck... truly something amoner would have difficulty understanding. "This kid¡¯s future achievement might not be any lower than mine. He is a person I can consider befriending."

    Jin Dian started drawing his ns. At the same time, Ji Feng, who was hidden somewhere not far away from the Mysterious Organization, was staring at the update he had received with a bewildered expression. It said that Chen Feng had been killed.

    Ji Feng was dumbfounded. "Dead just like that?"

    Come on man, I only started following you recently and you¡¯re already dead?

    He was sure that with this death of Chen Feng¡¯s, it was now certain that he would have to roam the world aimlessly in the future. Regardless of the Mysterious Organization or the Gene Production Association, none would let him off.

    Chang Luguo¡¯s eyes shone. "Chen Feng has been killed?"

    "What the hell are you being happy about? Now that he¡¯s dead, soon, it will be our turn to die," Ji Feng snapped.

    Chang Luguo shook his head. "No, no. Have you forgotten why we were hunted back then? Due to the allegations that we colluded with Chen Feng. That is not true. Since Chen Feng is too freakish a person, when he¡¯s alive, we won¡¯t be able to find any proof of that, since he could block any sort of investigative ability. Now that he¡¯s dead..."

    Ji Feng¡¯s eyes shone. Wasn¡¯t that the case? Wouldn¡¯t everything be fine as long as they found out the truth of what had happened during the Mysterious Killing Command back then? There had always been some sort of bizarre power lingering around Chen Feng that would block all their investigative abilities. Now that this guy was dead, wouldn¡¯t it be possible for them to find out the truth?

    Instantly, Ji Feng became spirited. "Let¡¯s go." He contacted the informer he had left in the Mysterious Organization and prepared to return. However, right at this moment, the informer sent him a new update. As Ji Feng nced at the new update, his body turned stiff.

    "What happened?"

    The curious Chang Luguo looked at the newly received update and was instantly dumbfounded as well. After a long while, the same word was spat out of both their mouths: "F*ck!"

    Chen Feng was dead? Killed by Wang Feng?! These two were simply the same f*cking person! Moreover, the name Wang Feng was even a name Ji Feng himself hade up with. Ji Feng¡¯s mood had remained joyful for less than two minutes and was now dropping to the freezing point. He knew that this Chen Feng guy could not have died so easily.

    Just as Chang Luguo was standing there with a bitter expression, suddenly, Ji Feng thought of a possibility. Immediately, his expression changed greatly and he dragged Chang Luguo before he started running crazily.

    Chang Luguo was puzzled. "Boss?"

    Ji Feng did not bother answering him and focused on running alone. "Shut up."

    Bang!

    Bang!

    His A-ss power was fully activated just to run.

    One second. Two seconds.

    ...

    Two figures streaked through the wilderness. Two minutes after Ji Feng started running, suddenly, a beam of light started descending from the sky. This beam of light was locked onto the Mysterious Organization¡¯s headquarters.

    Bang!

    A huge beam of light descended from the sky.

    Bang!

    A terrifying heat wave engulfed the entire Cloudswarm Mountain, and the several tens of mountain ranges nearby were instantly disintegrated.

    "This is..." The speechless Chang Luguo watched on as all this happened. Even so far away, they could still feel that terrifying shockwave from the explosion. Ji Feng wiped the beads of sweat on his head as he trembled with fear. "It¡¯s them. The Gic Union is making their move."

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Numerous beams of light started descending. With thending of each of the beams was a huge explosion. The whole world was seemingly enveloped in white. Both Ji Feng and Chang Luguo could no longer see anything clearly. That terrifying radiance that seemed capable of prating everything pervaded the entire area. Out of the huge amount of clouds that had been surrounding Cloudswarm Mountain for an unknown number of years, the clouds that possessed a formidable defensive capability, only three clumps remained.

    Shua!

    The fourth beam of lightnded. Finally, the clouds were all erased. The beam of lightnded on the headquarters of the Mysterious Organization.

    Bang!

    Where the headquarters stood, a huge mushroom cloud could be seen rising. The earth trembled. Fear was nted in the hearts of Ji Feng and Chang Luguo. Even so far away, they could feel the might of that explosion. The headquarters was most probably gone with that attack. The only thing they wondered was whether those members of the Mysterious Organization had survived this attack.

    Cloudswarm Mountain.

    This mountain range that had stood tall for an unknown number of years had, in a split second, been reduced to ruin. All the buildings of the Mysterious Organization were falling apart.

    Bang!

    The sky itself was ripped apart. A huge space tunnel appeared and numerous powerful figures started descending from the sky. Each of them was emitting a terrifying aura, shocking all onlookers. All these were experts from the Gic Union. They had finally arrived.

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    Countless silhouettes appeared. Was the Mysterious Organization powerful? Yes, they were. However, they had still remained hidden in the dark all this while, not daring to allow any information about them to leak. The Gic Union was the only reason they had not had the courage to announce their existence to the world. In the end, the Gic Union was still the true tyrant of this. Gic system... ability research... these were different facets of the Gic Union that had long permeated the very marrows of the masses of this.

    How was the Mysterious Organization supposed topete with this? What could they use topete with this? The only reason they had remained hidden all this while was so they could continue working hard to surpass the Gic Union. Only when they possessed sufficient strength to surpass the Gic Union would they dare reveal themselves.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Countless A-ss warriors descended. Compared to the Mysterious Organization, it was evident that the Gic Union had a greater number of members.

    Just by recruiting from their subsidiary families, the Mysterious Organization was able to recruit a huge amount of geniuses. As for the Gic Union, they were able to recruit from the human poption of the entire. Nearly all gic warriors in existence dreamed of joining the Gic Union. As such, the number of talented warriors of the Gic Union and the Mysterious Organization were simply in two different leagues.

    In the air, the person in charge of the current mission from the Gic Union hovered. His cold gaze nced past the Mysterious Organization¡¯s headquarters and noted that not a single living person remained.

    "It seems like they have all retreated."

    "We rushed over immediately after receiving the information. Unexpectedly..."

    "No worries. The amount of things still left here is already sufficient for us to study."

    Around them, amidst the ruins of the Mysterious Organization, the members of the Gic Union were able to locate a huge amount of data-storage items. Hard copies, soft copies, and all sorts of progress records for various projects and research materials were found. A huge amount of them had been destroyed earlier, but the remaining amount was still sufficient for the Gic Union¡¯s research.

    The only reason the Mysterious Organization had been scary all this while was due to them being an unknown entity. The Mysterious Organization had had all sorts of research projects running and had appeared so scary to the rest of the world. Now, though, the moment having been forced to escape in a panic without even first destroying all these things, the Mysterious Organization was no longer an unknown entity as far as the Gic Union was concerned. This organization was finished.

    "Start studying the materials."

    "Locate all the members, subsidiary families, and personnel rted to them before arresting all of them. I want to thoroughly turn them into an existence akin to a rat scurrying across the street."

    "Understood."

    In a casual manner, the person in charge concluded the fate of the Mysterious Organization. If everything progressed smoothly and the Mysterious Organization¡¯s headquarters were truly destroyed, this organization might very well disappear from the face of this from now on.

    "Where¡¯s the person who sent us the information?"

    "Left."

    "It¡¯s her?"

    "Mhm."

    "It¡¯s that youngdy, huh..."

    The person in charge sighed. In a short amount of time, this ce was locked down by the Gic Union. Several experts had joined hands to create a teleportation formation to link this ce with the Gic Union. This ce might very well be a new domain of the Gic Union¡¯s. Countless members of the Gic Union appeared and started searching this area. The time had arrived to unveil the mask covering the Mysterious Organization.

    Core members... structures... projects... all the data of the Mysterious Organizationnded in the Gic Union¡¯s hands. Any data that still remained would be analyzed by the union before using all sorts of gic abilities to reinstate the full set of the data. With this, the Mysterious Organization was not just unveiled¡ªit would be more apt to say that the Mysterious Organization was stripped naked.

    However, unknown to all of them, several kilometers underground, Chen Feng and the rest were descending without stop. Moreover, their speed was increasing with every moment. Prior to this, Wang Yao and Ming Yue had sessfully escaped the headquarters. With that, it had been a sure fact that the Mysterious Organization¡¯s location would be exposed. As long as these people possessed a brain, they would realize the folly of staying at the same ce waiting for their death.

    As such, from the start, Chen Feng had already prepared to escape together with them.

    He was sure that as an organization capable of surviving for so many years despite the Gic Union¡¯s grasp on this, the Mysterious Organization definitely had their secrets. Even a crafty rabbit would have three holes to hide in, let alone these people. Chen Feng wanted to see with his own eyes where the concealed base of the Mysterious Organization was, where their actual domain was located.

    But then, he had never expected that they would have to travel underground to reach there. All their members were currently traveling within something akin to a long subway that, instead of travelling horizontally, was traveling downward perpendicrly. The speed at which they traveled was still increasing.

    "Where are we going?" Chen Feng asked.

    A smile appeared on Jin Dian¡¯s face. "We are going to our actual headquarters."

    "Headquarters..." Chen Feng contemted. "Our headquarters are located underground?"

    Jin Dian shook his head. "No. If it¡¯s underground, it would definitely be found by the Gic Union. Hehe, you will find out soon enough."

    Chen Feng raised his eyebrow and stopped questioning. What did he mean? Will find out soon enough... underground?

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    The subway streaked forth amidst the darkness. Around them, a faint energy barrier started appearing. The speed of the subway was still increasing. However, along with the increase in speed, Chen Feng could clearly see the energy barrier trembling. The energy consumption rate increased as the world outside the subway turned red from its previous darkness.

    A huge expanse of red. Outside of everyone¡¯s expectations, a sea of me was here, hidden deep underground. Every single clump of me was burning at an rming temperature. Just like that, this unique subway charged head-on into the sea of me.

    Bang!

    Di, Di, Di¡ª

    An ear-piercing rm started resounding. The energy barrier became somewhat transparent, like it was going to fall apart at any moment. Right at this moment, in the deepest region of the sea of me, several energy seals appeared.

    Hum¡ª

    Every single one of the seals was shining. With several tens of them together, they joined to form a bizarre shape. Apanied by the whistling sound of the energy, the subway knocked into the energy seals. Just like that, it seemed to fuse with the formation formed by the seals.

    Bang!

    With a faint undtion, the subway phased through the formation. Instantly, the world before everyone¡¯s eyes became bright. Once again, that familiar sunshine was shining on their bodies. Opening his eyes, Chen Feng found with shock that they were now aboveground again.

    This ce...

    He turned around and noted that they had juste out of a cave.

    Shua!

    Luck Aura, activate. Using the little amount of luck value he had, he found with amazement that they were currently right below Cloudswarm Mountain. No... to be urate, they were on the exact opposite side of the.

    ??

    Chen Feng was somewhat dumbfounded. Opposite side? So, in the short few minutes, they had traveled through the entire to reach the other side of the? Was this a joke? Yes, the technological level of this world was truly advanced, but... what kind of technology was it that was capable of taking a shortcut through the core of this to travel to the other side of the? Was it a super-advanced technology surpassing humanity¡¯s current technological level?

    Jin Dian patted Chen Feng¡¯s shoulders. "Wee to the Mysterious Organization. This is our real home."

 Chapter 357: Is the Senior Surnamed Ma?

    Chapter 357: Is the Senior Surnamed Ma?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    This is the Mysterious Organization¡¯s actual base?

    A hint of amazement could be seen in Chen Feng¡¯s gaze. Indeed, this location was much safer than Cloudswarm Mountain. Even if they knew where it was located, the Gic Union might not be able to get here, since this base was located in one of those unknown regions, apletely different world than the main continent humanity was concentrated on. This was too perfect a location.

    However... how were their members here supposed to leave for missions? All sorts of assignments, missions, and material-rted projects... Could it be that the only thing they could do after leaving the branches anding to this actual headquarters was retire? Even they had only reached this ce due to Jin Dian bringing them along. Jin Dian might have a certain level of authority, enabling him to travel around as he wished, but how about the other ordinary members? Would they need Jin Dian to bring them out every time they needed to go out on a mission?

    Furthermore, the action of traveling through the¡¯s core was most definitely costly, regardless of whether they were using super-advanced technology or not. If it was too costly, traveling out and back just for missions might not even be worth it, like a person taking the train to a different city just to purchase a towel. Only an idiot would do this. As such, how did the Mysterious Organization n to deal with this?

    Chen Feng was truly curious. After spending half a day gathering information, he was stupefied. This ce... to be urate, this region here was a region developed by a superexpert. It was rumored the senior that had developed this region was a person with a diamond on his forehead¡ªa person with a blue diamond on his forehead, capable of traveling through different regions easily, and who was charismatic and powerful.

    With utmost care, he had researched his power and improved his ability throughout the years. And now, after so many years, countless underground nodes had been established, nodes that could be used to travel between two different locations. Moreover, the users of these nodes would not need his escort when traveling. By possessing a certain level of authority, these people would be able to travel using the underground subway freely.

    The scope of authority was as follows:

    High-level members obtained the authority to travel through the¡¯s core.

    First-ss core members obtained the authority to travel through the¡¯s core and were able to bring along one extra person.

    Second-ss core members obtained the authority to travel through the¡¯s core and were able to bring along two extra people.

    ...

    First-ss supervisors obtained the authority to travel through the¡¯s core and were able to bring along 10 extra people.

    Second-ss supervisors obtained the authority to travel through the¡¯s core and were able to bring along 20 extra people.

    ...

    The long list detailing the different levels of authority shocked Chen Feng. As for the so-called level of authority, a person with the corresponding level of authority was able to easily travel through the¡¯s core by swiping their card after verifying their identity. Regardless of the nodes required or the location one needed to travel, one only needed to select the location and one would be able to travel anywhere one wished to.

    Chen Feng was inwardly rmed. "What a terrifying ability." In short, this senior had used all these years to silently develop a transportation system at the¡¯s core? A terrifying system that was outside of all known transportation systems?

    This was only the beginning. On this, there were a lot of locations that couldn¡¯t be fully explored due to unknown dangers. On the Gic Union¡¯s list, all the locationsbeled "awaiting development" were such locations.

    There were locations only A sses could enter. Anyone else would die when entering. There were locations where only peak A sses could enter. Anyone else would die when entering. There were also locations where anyone could enter. However, those people would all be stuck halfway and only those possessing certain unique abilities would be allowed passage. All of these were categorized as "unique geographical regions."

    These unique geographical regions were also the regions containing all sorts of mysterious and powerful energies. A person capable of training using these energies would be able to benefit greatly. This was also how some of those limited quotas for special training sessions came about. The mere act of sending a genius to those regions for training cost a great amount.

    As such, every single year, when these new locations were opened, only a small amount of geniuses were allowed entry. The Gic Union had always wanted to solve this issue of the limited number of individuals they could send to these unique regions, but unfortunately, they had yet to find a way to do so. As such, the only thing they could do was limit the number of entries and only allow entry for true geniuses who also possessed a sufficiently powerful background. Due to this, all sorts of elimination matches were held to determine the candidates for these limited spots.

    But here at the Mysterious Organization...

    Chen Feng checked the information he had obtained. This underground transportation system covering the entire did not only contain nodes connecting different regions. Part of this underground transportation was also nodes leading to some mysterious regions. Regardless of how dangerous the areas surrounding these regions were, it wouldn¡¯t affect them in any way. With the existence of their underground transportation system, they were able to easily send all their members to the best training locations, allowing their members to temper themselves there.

    This was also the main reason the Mysterious Organization had always believed that their organization was superior to the Gic Union¡¯s. The regions the Gic Union could reach were regions they could reach. As for the regions the Gic Union couldn¡¯t reach, they might be able to reach those too.

    Besides that, among the huge amount of people wanting to go, the Gic Union could only send a limited number of people to these regions. As for the Mysterious Organization, they were able to easily send anyone they wanted to these regions. As long as a certain region was judged to contain unique energy that was beneficial to training and improvement, several superexperts would start opening up that region. Next, a connecting underground node would be constructed. With that, the Mysterious Organization would obtain yet another "secret training camp" that their members could go to any time they wished.

    Naturally, the Mysterious Organization had their own limitation to each of their nodes. However, the limitation was not the quantity of people entering; rather, it was a limitation on the strength of the people entering. This was put in ce to prevent their members from dying after attempting to train at a region whose level was much higher than their own.

    Mhm...

    Chen Feng turned on the map of the underground transportation system.

    Shua!

    A three dimensional map appeared in front of him. Looking at the lifelikendmarks on the map, the nodes connecting to the region where humanity was concentrated, and the nodes connecting to the numerous training camps, he nked.

    After a long time, he gasped. "Dungeon Fighter Online?"

    The person performing security check at the gate did not quite get what Chen Feng had said. "What are you talking about?"

    He shook his head. "Nothing." This was too astonishing. Perhaps that senior with a diamond on his forehead was from the same sect Soul hade from? Only a person concentrated on studying a single type of ability and growing in strength ording to the chosen ability type would be able to reach such a level of mastery in his chosen ability. Due to the differing types of abilities they each focused on, the different colors of diamonds on their foreheads hade into existence, such as the green diamond, white diamond, and blue diamond that Chen Feng had heard of.

    Since even these people were already so formidable, how powerful was the person who had trained them? Lu Hun... Senior Mu... which of them wasn¡¯t a superexpert? From what he had gathered presently, even the leader of the Mysterious Organization was merely an apprentice brother of Soul¡¯s. If so, how about their master?

    There was always the possibility that their master had passed away, though. However, even if that were the case, these rted superexperts of the Mysterious Organization were already sufficiently terrifying. There might be more of them out there as well. The Mysterious Organization was indeed not as simple as they appeared to be.

    Different colors of diamond...

    This underground system...

    With a respectful expression, Chen Feng looked at the guy beside him. "Oh yeah. May I ask if that senior who developed this region is surnamed Ma?"

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Ultimately, Chen Feng failed to figure out if that senior was surnamed Ma. But then, that senior had truly been a formidable person to have created this underground system with his ability. With the Mysterious Organization as the center, the nodes around were connected to all sorts of locations. Apart from that, aplete training system could be seen as well.

    1. Region of Ten Squaredemons

    This was a ce where a species of mutated beast called squaredemon resided. This was a mutated beast formed through the concentration of a certain bizarre element. As such, these beasts possessed an undying body yet did not possess any knowledge. A warrior could increase their physique attribute a certain amount through killing these beasts.

    Rmended strength: E-ss gic warrior.

    Strength limitation: Warriors above F ss were not allowed entry.

    Tips: This is a beast without wisdom. As such, it can be killed easily.

    2. Region of Roaming Ghosts

    Somewhere within the¡¯s core was a region where a dark energy wreaked havoc. The dark energy here concentrated and formed a species of formidable elemental life-forms. Due to the intense death aura contained within these beasts, they were named direghosts. This was a life-form capable of consuming the rotten corpses underground to obtain a portion of the corpse¡¯s memory before death. Due to the excessive corrosive aura this life-form emitted, they were rather hard to approach. The act of approaching them carried a certain degree of danger. After killing one of them, a gic warrior would be able to stabilize their spirit attribute to a certain extent. They could obtain a certain amount of spirit attribute as well.

    Rmended strength: D-ss gic warrior.

    Strength limitation: E-ss and below gic warriors were not allowed entry.

    Tips: This is a rather boorish life-form with low intelligence. One could try killing them through tricks.

    3. Starfall

    Somewhere within the¡¯s core was a ce with concentrations of bizarre starlight. Every single drop of the concentrated starlight here was extremely well loved due to the formidable power contained within each drop.

    After consuming these drops, one¡¯s spirit, physique, strength, and agility attributes would increase a certain amount. Due to the formidable power contained within these concentrated starlight drops, some mutated beasts good at traveling underground were attracted and normally lingered around here. As such, those trying to consume the concentrated starlight drops would be subjected to a certain degree of danger. Anyone attempting this had to exercise extreme caution.

    Rmended strength: C-ss gic warrior.

    Strength limitation: D-ss and below gic warriors were not allowed entry.

    Tips: Try to sneak inside and avoid snatching the starlight drops through force.

    4. Gigantic creatures of the¡¯s core

    ...

    In front of Chen Feng was a long list detailing all avable training regions, known as training camps. From E ss to A ss, all sorts of training camps existed. A huge amount of these camps were exclusive to the Mysterious Organization. This was a feat the Gic Union was not capable of. The scariest fact of all was that there was no limitation to the number of the people the Mysterious Organization could send there. Anyone meeting the strength criteria would be allowed entry.

    Perhaps the Mysterious Organization was somewhatckingpared to the Gic Union in other resources, but when only training camps were taken into consideration, the Mysterious Organization far surpassed the Gic Union.

    "These camps..."

    Chen Feng was quite shocked at all this. Why had he decided to stay with the Mysterious Organization? The first reason was to allow Wang Yao and Ming Yue to escape.

    The second reason was so he could locate the Spirit Sea wood hidden within the Mysterious Organization. Unfortunately, even until now, he had yet to locate it. Now, though... the Spirit Sea wood no longer seemed so important.

    No matter what, anything capable of assisting one in increasing one¡¯s strength could be considered a resource as well. Chen Feng¡¯s status in the outside world had reached teau of sorts. Even at the Gene Production Association, he was already able to obtain any resource he wanted. Nobody could stop him. However, those resources were only helpful for gene production. If he wanted to increase his strength? Those resources were insufficient. As for the Gic Union, his contributions there weren¡¯t particrly high. He was sure that, with his rtionship with the Gic Union, he would be able to obtain those unimportant resources from them rather easily, but if he wanted to obtain a spot to enter one of their training camps... hehe. That was simply impossible.

    As far as the people from the Gic Union was concerned, with their limited quota, the priority should be ced on their own children and all sorts of other geniuses they had. As for Chen Feng? Even if they acknowledge that Chen Feng was a genius, for them, Chen Feng was simply a genius gene producer. His kind of genius was totally unrted tobat power. Even the Gene Production Association wouldn¡¯t be helpful in this aspect. As far as they were concerned, Chen Feng was a treasure to be protected. They would never allow him to enter one of those training camps lest he identally suffer harm there.

    As such... Chen Feng was unable to obtain any resources training-wise in the outside world.

    In the past, Chen Feng had always been relying on himself. Apart from the gene-production-rted resources he had been able to obtain from the Gene Production Association, everything he had used for training had been something he himself had obtained. That was truly too sad. Here at the Mysterious Organization, he would be able to easily enter any of those training camps. The list he was staring at was a wless training system. Those training camps that the Gic Union held so sacred were simplymon benefits here at the Mysterious Organization. Moreover, the training system here was of a higher qualitypared to what the Gic Union had.

    Mysterious Organization... Chen Feng muttered inwardly. This was indeed a scary organization. Perhaps this organization¡¯s only w presently was its recruitment of talent. If they were able to solve this issue, with their talent and their high-quality training system, the Gic Union would be in trouble. Naturally, none of this was something the present Chen Feng needed concern himself with.

    He studied the underground map attentively. He was nning to design a perfect training itinerary for himself to reach B ss.

    "Now, I¡¯m still mid-tier C ss. Despite the amount ofbat and training I have done these few days, due tock of training resources, I am still stuck in C ss. If so, my next goal is rather clear. First, charge to peak C ss, focusing purely on strength increase. Mhm... these few training camps seem rather suitable for me. After reaching peak C ss, I can focus on breaking through."

    Soon, hepleted the analysis of his current circumstances. What was the biggest benefit of training in these training camps? What one stood to gain was transparent. Even before going, one would know what they could obtain from that particr training camp.

    Whatever one wished to obtain from their training, one only needed to select the corresponding training camp and start going there without stop until one obtained what one sought.

    Naturally, for certain rare items, the probability of their appearance would be rather low. An example was the crystallized me. This was the main material a me-ability user required to break through into B ss. All sorts of fire-elemental beasts might drop this item after death, but there was also the possibility of them dropping nothing instead.

    As such, warriors searching for this item would have to keep killing fire-elemental beasts. Inyman¡¯s terms, this was an act of grinding. Naturally, in those training camps, the probability of appearance for these items was much higher than in the outside world.

    Chen Feng shrugged. "So I still have to grind after all..." In his memories, thest time he had done any grinding was in one of those games he used to y.

    Mhm... what game was it again? Was it Diablo 3 or Gumballs and Dungeons? Forget it.

    Chen Feng shook his head. Those were affairs of his previous life. He shouldn¡¯t keep looking backward. Now, he should focus on increasing his strength. In games, when one was grinding, only time and tenacity were required. Here in this world, when one grinded, one¡¯s life would be put on the line. Proper preparations were required before he set forth.

    Unknown to him, while he was busy preparing to increase his strength, the Mysterious Organization was conducting an investigation on him as well.

    "What is Wang Feng doing?"

    "Recently, he has been focusing on increasing his strength."

    "Did he not roam around and gather information about us?"

    "No. The only information he gathered was rted to improving one¡¯s strength."

    "How about his identity? Are there any problems?" Jin Dian asked.

    "Nope. We already investigated several times. His background is rather normal. The Wang family is our subsidiary family and has never done anything suspicious before. That Zhang family is not our subsidiary family, but they have always been one of our candidate subsidiary families. Their family members have been secretly joining our recruitments all this while. The only abnormality is the circumstances of Wang Feng¡¯s birth." As the person making the report reached this point, he paused.

    Jin Dian: "..."

    What abnormality? Rather, that Zhang family leader had already been cuckolded to the heavens. Surprisingly, he had actually chosen to endure this humiliation and joined hands with the Wang family? Indeed, it was wise to choose to endure and to look at the bigger picture. But then, this...

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "I guess he¡¯s doing that in order to be a formal subsidiary family of our organization," the person stated in a lowered voice. "The Zhang family applied to join us numerous times in the past. In fact, we haven¡¯t had an issue with epting them. However, during the past few years, there hasn¡¯t been a new recruitment drive. As such, their eptance was dyed. As for the recent recruitment, they were not included, as we were in a rush at the time. However, they will be able to join us by the end of this year at thetest. I guess the Zhang family thought that they had failed their application and decided to try their luck using this roundabout method."

    Jin Dian nodded. "Mhm." This might be the case. Perhaps he could rmend this Zhang family to Senior Lu Hunter. A family so resolute and patient might be eptable to Senior Lu Hun.

    "Continue observing Wang Feng," Jin Dianmanded. "No matter what, do not grant any high-level authority to this batch of recruits for now. We will observe them for a while before deciding."

    Without first confirming the identities of the new recruits, he definitely would not allow them to leave the headquarters. If any of them were found to be problematic... hehe. Even those they were only suspicious of and had no substantial proof of any wrongdoing would have to stay here at the headquarters their whole lives.

    "But he is, after all, the one who killed Chen Feng and rescued everyone," that person said. "Miss Xie Zhongtong has been begging for leniency on his behalf all this while as well."

    Jin Dian smiled bitterly. "Little Tong?" This Xie Zhongtong was a source of headaches for him. This youngdy had an unordinary identity. Even before she had participated in the recruitment process, she had already had a unique identity as the daughter of a big shot in their organization. Mhm... to be precise, she was the adopted daughter of that big shot. As for which type of adopted daughter she was, it remained a mystery. 1

    This youngdy originated from a subsidiary family of the organization. Due to a certain incident, her family had been destroyed by a certain family. Subsequently, this youngdy had joined the family that had destroyed her family. Next, that family had fallen into disorder.

    It was rumored that, after she had joined, the family head had killed all the females in their family. Next, the family members of those females had rushed over and a huge battle had erupted there. Ultimately, none of them had survived. This was not the only family to have suffered that fate. All families that had had a hand in the destruction of Xie Zhongtong¡¯s family had been implicated and destroyed as a result. Their fates were akin to the elimination of their bloodlines. All families with even an ounce of blood ties with them had been eliminated.

    Back when that happened, the Mysterious Organization had indeed made some preparations to deal with this war between their subsidiary families. Due to their unique identity and the need to hide their actions from the Gic Union, it had been inevitable that the organization would need to do something about this war between their subsidiary families.

    Unexpectedly, though, just as their preparations hadpleted, before they had even been able to do anything, all the families were already dead. Thereupon, Xie Zhongtong¡¯s fame had risen within the Mysterious Organization. In seven short days, she had eliminated the entirety of a powerful family and all other families rted to this family. Subsequently, a certain big shot of the Mysterious Organization had decided to adopt Xie Zhongtong as his daughter. Just like that, Xie Zhongtong¡¯s identity in the Mysterious Organization had changed. The only reason she had even joined this recruitment was to expand her connections.

    Naturally, due to the disastrous casualties of the new recruits during the Chen Feng incident, among the new connections she had made, Wang Feng was the sole survivor.

    "She and Wang Feng..." Jin Dian tried asking.

    The person shook his head. "Not yet. She tried courting Wang Feng several times and was repeatedly rejected."

    Jin Dian breathed out in relief. "Good." Although he insisted on investigating Wang Feng, Jin Dian still trusted him. If Wang Feng were to get entangled with Xie Zhongtong, his future in this organization might be somewhat jeopardized as a result.

    "Try to reduce the amount of contact between the two of them." Jin Dian frowned as he continued, "If Wang Feng passes the checks we are conducting on him, he might very well be a person the organization will focus on nurturing. As such, it is a good thing that he is such an indifferent person and only focuses on strength. If he were a person encumbered by his emotions, things would be quite troublesome."

    "Understood," that person answered.

    Jin Dian waved his hand. "You may leave now."

    Hum¡ª

    Suddenly, his wristband buzzed. Turning his wristband on, Jin Dian noted that it was Tang Lan calling him.

    "Your injuries have healed already?" Jin Dian asked with a faint smile. Tang Lan was that very person who had fought with Square over Wang Feng. Ultimately, he had been beaten up badly by Senior Mu and had only been released after a ransom of five million had been paid. As Tang Lan heard Jin Dian¡¯s words, his lips twitched. "Are you aware that your new nickname is Million Tang?" Jin Dian couldn¡¯t help butugh whenever he thought of this. But then, that Senior Mu was rather childish as well. As a senior, not only had he cheated against these juniors, had there been a need for a superexpert like him to be angry toward these people? Truly...

    Tang Lan sneered. "Hmph. I will have my revenge sooner orter."

    Jin Dian narrowed his eyes. Even if Tang Lan had the courage to talk as he wished, the same did not apply to him. All those seniors were extremely formidable, each of them focusing exclusively on different abilities. They were all excessively powerful. That Senior Mu was also one such freakish existence. Jin Dian had no intentions of seeking death.

    "What a coward," Tang Lan snapped.

    Jin Dian did not reply. Inwardly, he thought, Yes, you are indeed brave. However, what¡¯s the result of your bravery?

    Naturally, Tang Lan was aware of his thoughts. "Hmph."

    Jin Dian¡¯s expression changed slightly. "So, why are you looking for me?"

    "I agree with your proposal," Tang Lan said indifferently.

    Jin Dian¡¯s eyes shone. "Are you sure?"

    He was aware that this was an area Tang Lan specialized in.

    "Yes!" Tang Lan grumbled, "Although he rejected me once, he is, after all, still an extremely rare super-lucky person that would probably only appear once in ten thousand years. I will not give up on him! Moreover, since Old Square is now dead, this Wang Feng is now a free person. It wouldn¡¯t hurt for me to try and get him for myself. Even if I can¡¯t obtain him, I can still do him a favor. Hehe, different from all of you who look highly on his strength and potential, I only care about one thing¡ªhis luck. A person with such luck is most certainly not someone ordinary."

    From the moment he had met Wang Feng, he had already been thoroughly astonished. Wang Feng was terrifyingly lucky. This fact had especially been pronounced during the test. If luck could be transformed into light, during that test, Chen Feng had been akin to someone shining as bright as the sun and moon. This was a person that Tang Lan had to be friendly with.

    Jin Dian red at him. "You must not allow your personal opinion to get in the way."

    Tang Lan smiled calmly. "Don¡¯t worry. However, the control of luck in itself is considered some sort of arcane studies. Despite his potential, he will still have to rely on himself when learning the methods of luck control."

    "That is only natural."

    With this, their conversation ended.

    The next day, Chen Feng found out that Jin Dian had hired a teacher for him. As for the content of the subject he was supposed to learn, it was rather astonishing. Arcane studies, this was what he was going to learn. As for his teacher, it was Tang Lan, the guy who had been beaten up badly when Chen Fengst saw him.

    Tang Lan felt somewhat awkward when meeting Chen Feng. "Cough, cough. We¡¯ve met before." Evidently, he had been beaten up quite badly previously.

    Chen Feng nodded. "Hello."

    "I believe you have an idea what arcane studies entail even without me describing it to you. In short, this is the study of fate. However, it¡¯s also not as simple as that. The ultimate goal of arcane studies is to obtain the methods of increasing the probability of different urrences. For example, learning how to increase the probability of something happening from 1% to 10%. Even if this is part of arcane studies, even if this is affected by probability and fate, after learning about arcane studies, you will be able to maximize the strength and power you can unleash." Tang Lan continued seriously, "Apart from this, after learning about arcane studies, you will be able to heighten your senses, allowing you to sense some vague details concerning the future. For example, you will be able to sense if today will be your lucky day and so on."

    Suddenly, Chen Feng raised his hand. "Teacher."

    Tang Lan was quite satisfied with Chen Feng¡¯s eagerness to study. "Yes."

    Chen Feng stood up and meekly asked, "I have a question. That day, did you sense that you were going to get beaten up?"

    Shua!

    Instantly, Tang Lan¡¯s expression darkened.

 Chapter 360: New Ability!

    Chapter 360: New Ability!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Tang Lan was sure that if it wasn¡¯t for Wang Feng¡¯s talent, which he looked so highly upon, he would have beaten this kid to death for this question.

    Did I not sense that? Don¡¯t you know the answer? If I had truly sensed that, why would I have ended up beaten so badly that day? Aren¡¯t you asking a question you knew the answer for?

    "No," Tang Lan snapped.

    Chen Feng¡¯s face was filled with doubt. "If so, then what¡¯s the point of learning this thing?"

    Tang Lan: "..."

    He studied Wang Feng attentively. Jin Dian nced at Wang Feng as well. Only at this did they realize that even though Wang Feng had been listening, in fact, he hadn¡¯t really been convinced of the so-called arcane studies. Rather than doubting Tang Lan, he doubted arcane studies. Was learning this thing truly useful?

    If this was someone else, Tang Lan wouldn¡¯t have been bothered. They could choose to believe or not to believe as they wished. However, this guy here was Wang Feng, one of those he looked most highly upon. As such, he had to continue his lecture.

    Tang Lanughed bitterly. "Senior Mu was too strong. As such, it is natural for me to not be able to sense what he¡¯s about to do. However, if it was someone else¡ªfor example, Jin Dian¡ªthat wanted to kill me, I would definitely be able to sense it in advance."

    Jin Dian red at him. "...Do you believe that I won¡¯t cut you down right here and now?"

    "Hence..." Chen Feng pondered and continued, "I will be able to sense the actions of those weaker or who possess strength simr to mine. As for those stronger than me, I won¡¯t be able to sense them. If so, what¡¯s the point of learning this thing?"

    "Fate is an extremely important thing."

    "I¡¯m aware."

    "Luck is very important as well."

    "I¡¯m aware."

    "Arcane studies are capable of improving your fate and luck."

    "I don¡¯t believe that."

    "..."

    At this, the conversation halted. Jin Dian and Tang Lan looked at each other. What could they do when encountering a person like this?

    In truth, though, it was quite simple to solve this. Tang Lan was aware of Wang Feng¡¯s hidden meaning. Since he imed that arcane studies were powerful, he only needed to prove it. But then, something like this couldn¡¯t really be proven. Tossing a coin to prove his luck? But then, almost everyone knew a coin trick nowadays. In this gic era, experts with all sorts of abilities existed. As such, at a nce, arcane studies might not appear particrly useful. There existed abilities out there not only capable of influencing the result of a coin toss but that could potentially even transform the coin into a gold coin.

    Tang Lan inhaled deeply. "Fine. Let us discuss properly."

    As a youth with exceptionally good luck, how could this Wang Feng think this way? Even if the advantages of arcane studies couldn¡¯t be demonstrated in a clear-cut manner, Tang Lan had to convince Wang Feng.

    "What is your opinion of mybat power?" Tang Lan asked.

    Chen Feng answered honestly. "Quite ordinary." Among A-ss warriors, Tang Lan was truly quitecking inbat power.

    "Correct." Tang Lan wasn¡¯t the least bothered by this and lectured earnestly. "Therefore, it would be extremely easy for Jin Dian to kill me. However, what if I have extremely powerful sensory capabilities? If my luck is reinforced, giving me the ability to sense what he¡¯s about to do to me, I would definitely be able to prepare myself ordingly before ites. With that, Jin Dian killing me bes a nearly impossible feat. In fact, up until now, I have survived an extremely huge number of dangers thanks to arcane studies. Granted, I was indeed beaten up that day, but then, that was because Senior Mu is too powerful. Moreover, back then, we were in the internal area of the Mysterious Organization. At a ce like that, even if he were to beat me up, he would not truly kill me. Therefore... do you understand what I¡¯m trying to say?"

    Chen Feng nced at Jin Dian, who nodded slightly.

    "Only useful for sensing danger?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Naturally, it¡¯s not only limited to that." As Chen Feng seemed somewhat convinced, Tang Lan breathed out in relief. Next, he started telling Chen Feng various benefits of luck improvement. To summarize what he was telling Chen Feng, he was educating Chen Feng about how the probability of urrences with a low chance of happening would increase greatly after learning about arcane studies. As for urrences with a high chance of happening, the probability of them happening could be enhanced to 100%. This was the true function of arcane studies.

    Chen Feng merely listened quietly to all of this. Arcane studies... this thing was truly not particrly useful to him. When he needed to alter the probability of something urring, he could do that with his Luck Aura. Hence, while listening, he maintained a facade of someonecking interest. This facade fit the character of Wang Feng he was ying as well. However, toward the end of Tang Lan¡¯s speech, Chen Feng was abruptly startled.

    Tang Lan ended his speech passionately. "I believe that when one¡¯s prowess reaches a certain level, one can control even luck itself. When one improves their luck to the limit, one might even turn omniscient, knowing everything."

    Chen Feng frowned. "That shouldn¡¯t be possible, right?" He was too experienced in the control of luck. Even now, he already had a rough grasp on the basic usage of his Luck Aura and was able to use his Luck Aura to obtain certain information he required.

    For example, using his rm system, he was able to find out if there were any enemies within a certain range of him. His Luck Aura would give him a "yes" or a "no" as an answer. Another example was his ability of locating the enemy¡¯s coordinates using his Luck Aura. These were all things the present Chen Feng was capable of doing. He believed that, with sufficient luck value, he could even form letters in the world of his Luck Aura to find out what his target was talking about. He had indeed attempted that, but the consumption of luck value had been extremely huge. As such, it was impossible for the present him.

    Theoretically, to form a single word, a countlessbination of letters would be required. Every possiblebination would have a different probability of appearing. When all these probabilities were added up, the resulting amount was unimaginably high. To form a single word, the final probability would probably be one in several hundred thousand. To form a full sentence...

    Indeed, luck value was theoretically capable of achieving anything rted to probability. However, there was a limit to it. When using Luck Aura to do something exceeding the limit, the actual consumption of luck value increased. This was something Chen Feng wasn¡¯t too experienced with.

    Even when using his Luck Aura to affect reality, Chen Feng was only able to roughly estimate the amount of luck value required through the world of his Luck Aura. When it came to pure information gathering through the power of luck, hecked experience. Was this truly possible?

    "Why not?" Tang Lan proudly stated, "Granted, the maximum information I can gather is limited to two words, and it only works in certain circumstances, but based on my calctions, it is definitely possible."

    "By guessing the letters before forming words with the guessed letters?"

    "Why is there a need to even guess the letters? We can directly guess the words themselves."

    Chen Feng was speechless. "But then... based on the dictionary, there are nearly 100,000 words in existence at this time, right?" To get a single one of those words right, the probability was 1 in 100,000. That seemed like a bottomless abyss.

    Tang Lan shrugged. "So what? Among the 100,000 words, almost 90,000 of them are words we don¡¯t require. The number ofmonly used words on a daily basis is in fact lower than 3,000. With this, the amount of information we need to actually gather is much lower."

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. Three thousand! This reduced the probability by more than tenfold! If so...

    Chen Feng felt doubtful, though. "Within a single set of information, too many words are contained. If so, how are we supposed to determine which of these words are the truly important words?"

    Tang Lan was excited. It hadn¡¯t been easy to get Wang Feng engaged in this discussion. "Haha. To know this, you will have to learn my arcane studies." Soon, he started tossing his various theories regarding arcane studies at Chen Feng. And with this, Chen Feng¡¯s course in arcane studies officially began.

    Learning about arcane studies had indeed dispelled a lot of the doubt Chen Feng had had all this while. Although Tang Lan did not possess the terrifying Luck Aura Chen Feng possessed and he wasn¡¯t as talented as Chen Feng when it came to controlling luck, he had dedicated his whole life to this. Therefore, he was absolutely the most experienced person at this. Chen Feng also learned a lot through their conversations.

    What was it exactly that the arcane studies could aplish? They could increase probability. Yes, the increase wasn¡¯t too high. It might be a mere 10% or 20%, but if this increase was applied to every single word, how much would the total increase be for one whole sentence? With the probability of 1 in 3,000, every single enhancement of arcane studies on their probability would have an outstanding effect. This method of information gathering that Chen Feng had never dared to attempt previously due to the huge luck value consumption had now seemingly been unlocked for him.

    These days, Chen Feng was extremely serious in his studies. Apart from that, he was also learning how to better estimate his luck value consumption. Due to Tang Lan¡¯s limited strength, using the power of luck, he had to first guess what the full sentence was before using the power of luck to reveal the correct words. Finally, Chen Feng understood the reason those fortune tellers only ever said either one or two words at a time.

    Now, Chen Feng had transformed this into an ability to estimate his luck value consumption.

    He did not need to estimate the number of words his ability could gather, nor did he need to estimate the total length of the sentence. The only thing he needed to focus on waspleting his own guesswork.

    Shua!

    Light started swirling before his eyes. Chen Feng entered the world of his Luck Aura.

    What will Wang Lan say next?

    Shua!

    Estimated luck value consumption: five points

    To disy or not?

    Disy!

    Shua!

    These words appeared on the screen in the world of his Luck Aura: "Wang Feng, have you mastered this?"

    In the real world, after confirming the contents of Chen Feng¡¯s studies, Tang Lan asked, "Wang Feng, have you mastered this?"

    Bang!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted.

    It had worked! He had finally seeded! This was the very first time he had been able to use his Luck Aura to disy information of any substance.

 Chapter 361: Truth Divination

    Chapter 361: Truth Divination

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Sess! This was the very first time Chen Feng had managed to obtain a full set of information instead of a basic yes or no answer using his Luck Aura. Even if he had only managed to deduce Tang Lan¡¯s words one second in advance, even if this was a simple sentence while Tang Lan was defenseless, the significance of this feat was stillrge.

    The function of this new ability wasn¡¯t as simple as predicting words. What if Chen Feng wanted to know about something else? For example, what were the secrets of Tang Lan? How many secrets did Tang Lan have? Who was the leader of the Mysterious Organization? How many members were there in the diamond club? No, wait, the correct question to ask was how many people out there with a diamond on their forehead existed? He would be able to figure out all of these using his Luck Aura. As long as he had sufficient luck value, Chen Feng would be able to find out everything.

    This method of information gathering would be the foundation for everything. With this, Chen Feng could find out nearly anything he wanted to know. Naturally, the premise of all this was sufficient luck value. Chen Feng preferred to use a simpler term to refer to this new ability of his: Truth Divination.

    ----

    Ability: Truth Divination

    Function: Able to obtain any information the user wishes to.

    Consumption: Only luck value can be used to power this ability.

    ----

    "Try it out?"

    Chen Feng was extremely tempted.

    Now that Chen Feng had created this ability, he needed to figure out how powerful this ability was, exactly. Would the luck value consumption be rted to the number of words? This was something worth researching. Presently, the perfect target was here for him to test this new ability out. At this thought, Chen Fengughed.

    Tang Lan frowned. "What are youughing about?" Every time this Wang Fengughed, his hair stood on end.

    Chen Feng scratched his head. "Nothing."

    Shua!

    Light started swirling before his eyes, and once again, Truth Divination was activated.

    First test: How many girlfriends has Tang Lan had in the past? Chen Feng asked inwardly. With that, Truth Divination started working as his Luck Aura was activated, before finally, it transmitted the result back to Chen Feng.

    Luck value consumption: five points

    Result: Zero

    Chen Feng: ...

    Zero? The zero here did not signify the failure of his Luck Aura. Rather, it signified that Tang Lan had had zero girlfriends before. At this reveal, when Chen Feng¡¯s gaze once againnded on this Tang Lan who was already rather old, his gaze softened. What a pitiful forever alone fellow.

    Chen Feng started asking some crucial questions.

    Second test: Has Tang Lan ever betrayed the Mysterious Organization?

    Shua!

    Soon, he received the feedback.

    Luck value consumption: 10 points

    Result: No.

    Chen Feng: ...

    Ten points of luck value?

    The number of words used in the feedback was the same as the previous question. Why had the consumption increased by five points? Moreover, his first question had been shorter than his first test, so why had the consumption for the two been the same?

    Three different questions with three different consumptions. What was the reason for this? Chen Feng frowned. It seemed like he would have to perform more tests. When encountering theories he was uncertain about, only a huge amount of tests would be able to answer his doubts. Hence, countless questions appeared in Chen Feng¡¯s brain.

    How old is Tang Lan? What¡¯s the name of Tang Lan¡¯s father? What¡¯s the color of Tang Lan¡¯s underwear? And so on.

    Any question he could think of, he asked. Finally, he found out that, when used against the same person, the more private the question and the more hidden the truth was, the higher the consumption.

    "Why?"

    Chen Feng sunk into contemtion.

    Was it due to Tang Lan hiding certain secrets at the depths of his heart, to the point where, even when using this mysterious power known as luck, a certain amount of consumption was required?

    If so...

    With a sharp gaze, Chen Feng asked his final question: What is Tang Lan¡¯s deepest secret?

    Shua!

    Light swirled before his eyes. With astonishment, Chen Feng noted that 50 points of his luck value were consumed. His remaining luck value was nearly emptied out.

    The f*ck?

    Chen Feng was startled. During his previous tests, the highest consumption for a single question had been 15 points. Now, suddenly, 50 points had been lost. Could it be that this Tang Lan guy...

    Chen Feng¡¯s brain started racing. During this period where he was in the Mysterious Organization, he had heard some rumors as well. These rumors had only been circting among the grassroots, but eyewitnesses existed. For example, a rumor stating that Tang Lan¡¯s true name was Tang Shan. Once, someone close to him had been humiliated by the White Church. This was why he was opposed to the White Church in the organization. The reason Senior Mu had beat him up so badly he had almost been crippled was quiteplicated as well.

    All this while, Chen Feng had believed that these had merely been rumors. After all, he¡¯d had a hand in what had happened that day as well. But this consumption of luck value...

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. He was truly curious about the actual secret of Tang Lan.

    Shua!

    A row of words appeared.

    With a nce, Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. This...

    Even after preparing himself mentally, he had never expected that this would be Tang Lan¡¯s secret. It was no wonder that this secret was hidden within the depths of his heart.

    Tang Lan had a son with the wife of one of his elder brothers.

    A simple description. With a single nce at this simple row of words, a melodramatic romance story with over 300 chapters formed in Chen Feng¡¯s brain.

    No wonder this guy has had zero girlfriends...

    Tang Lan noticed the change in Chen Feng¡¯s gaze and asked, "What¡¯s up?"

    Chen Feng coughed and said, "Thank you."

    Tang Lan was extremely gratified. "Don¡¯t worry about it." This transformation of Wang Feng¡¯s, from the initial doubt to the present admiration and gratitude, gave him an extreme sense of aplishment. "This is something I ought to do anyway. The Mysterious Organization will be depending on you in the future. Use the arcane studies you have learned properly and push them to a new height."

    "Yes, Teacher," Chen Feng answered respectfully.

    Tang Lan burst out inughter. "You don¡¯t have to call me ¡¯Teacher.¡¯ With your talent, in a few years, you will probably reach A ss. It¡¯s improper for someone like you to call me ¡¯Teacher.¡¯ If you don¡¯t mind, you can just call me Big Brother Tang."

    Chen Feng nodded slightly. "All right, Big Brother Tang."

    "Mhm."

    Tang Lan was extremely satisfied. This kid wasn¡¯t as cold and arrogant as Jin Dian had said. In fact, he was rather nice.

    "Practice more after you go back," Tang Lan advised. "This is not all arcane studies can aplish. I am limited by my talent; I hope that a day wille when you surpass me."

    Chen Feng nodded solemnly. "Mhm! Big Brother Tang, I will work hard to be someone like you!"

    Tang Lan: "..."

    Why did this sentence feel somewhat off to him? If Wang Feng was truly going to be like him, it would be better for Wang Feng to not refer to him as Big Brother...

    **

    These days, Chen Feng spent his time learning from Tang Lan. He mastered nearly everything about the art of arcane studies. This amazed Tang Lan to no end. Evidently, Chen Feng¡¯s grasp on andprehension of luck was much higher than he had imagined. Toward all this, Chen Feng merely smiled.

    This was the kind of person he was. There was no need for him to exin his grasp on luck. Tang Lan woulde out with his own conclusions anyway. The rest of his time was spent enjoying himself. asionally, when his luck value had regenerated, he would try using his new ability. Ultimately, he found out that the luck value consumption was dependent on the target¡¯s strength, how hidden the information was, the environment his target was in, and even the number of words required for the reveal.

    After several days of rest, Chen Feng finally umted a certain amount of luck value. Now, he wanted to test if his Truth Divination was capable of more.

    For example, figuring out something that was truly a secret. He tried using Truth Divination: Who is the strongest gic warrior currently alive in this world?

    Shua!

    Midair, words were about to appear.

    Suddenly, the illusory world of his Luck Aura started copsing. A terrifying power started surging out somewhere. Chilliness surged from the depths of his own heart, and instantly, his luck value was fully exhausted.

    Not good!

    Acutely, Chen Feng could feel that something wasn¡¯t right. He knew that an extra half second was all that he required for the words to be fully formed. However, it was even more probable that he would die immediately the moment he saw the answer.

    Leave!

    Without any hesitation, Chen Feng left the world of his Luck Aura and returned to the real world.

    Ka!

    The entire illusory world copsed. As for Chen Feng, his whole body was dripping with sweat, akin to someone who had just gone through a huge battle.

    "What exactly was that power I felt earlier?"

 Chapter 362: Unable to Satisfy

    Chapter 362: Unable to Satisfy

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng was unaware of what that power was. However, at the instant he was about to obtain that information, the chill and fear rising from the depths of his heart were evidence that he would probably die right here if he continued on and obtained that information. He had believed there wouldn¡¯t have been any problems asking that question due to the amount of A-ss experts he had seen nowadays. Even a peak A ss like Jin Dian did not notice Truth Divination being used on him. Unexpectedly, this single question he had asked had almost ended his life.

    I asked a question I shouldn¡¯t have asked , Chen Feng thought knowingly. Despite this, he wasn¡¯t disappointed. The fact that this had even happened was sufficient to showcase the prowess of his Truth Divination. It was so powerful that even those terrifying existences couldn¡¯t escape its detection. The only limitation was the present him being too weak. The mere act of obtaining the knowledge itself would bring with it a consequence he couldn¡¯t face. If he was stronger, he would definitely be able to obtain the answer to his questions.

    As for now...he would have to first focus on increasing his strength. Naturally, in the future, he had to be careful when using his Truth Divination. There existed some questions he definitely could not ask casually. Otherwise, if something simr were to happen in the future, he could very well end up dead. The experts of this world were much stronger than he had imagined.

    Chen Feng clenched his fists. "I need to be stronger." Now that he was done with his arcane studies and his research of Truth Divination, he could finally focus on his own n: using the Mysterious Organization¡¯s resources to increase his strength.

    For now, there was no need for him to think of the Spirit Sea wood. With his current status, he was not qualified to ess anything rted to the Spirit Sea wood. However, as long as he did well in this organization, he might be able to obtain ess after increasing his strength. This was also his actual purpose here.

    "Now that I¡¯m at mid-tier C ss, my next target is to reach high-tier C ss," Chen Feng analyzed. The Mysterious Organization had an ample amount of resources. The amount of training camps for C ss alone was already more than ten. Naturally, the determining factor for the amount of benefits one could obtain from most of these camps was not one¡¯sbat power. Rather, they relied on one¡¯s luck and umtion.

    For example, within a certain training camp, there were all sorts of mysterious herbs capable of increasing one¡¯s strength. However, this was a deste area filled with poison. As such, anyone attempting to enter would have to purchase all sorts of reagents to protect themselves against poison. The poisons there weren¡¯t particrly powerful, but the variety of poisons was astonishingly high. Fire poisons, wind poisons, gold poisons, all sorts of unimaginable poisons could appear there. Apart from this, unknown poisons and never-before-seen poisons would probably appear there as well. This was an extremely dangerous ce.

    Due to the unique environment there, even mutated beasts couldn¡¯t survive this ce. Despite theck of mutated beasts, this was still one of the most dangerous C-ss training camps. Regardless of the benefits one stood to obtain there, most people were still unwilling to enter. Based on the recorded data, to enter the depths of the poisonous region, increase one¡¯s strength, and return smoothly, a huge bag of antidotes would be required just to survive. Even this survival was with the premise that one was lucky enough...

    An absolute majority of the nobat training camps were simr to this camp. Due to environmental issues, and various other reasons, mutated beasts were not able to survive in these ces. However, these ces where even mutated beasts couldn¡¯t survive were usually extremely dangerous. Hence, most people preferred thebat training camps. Simple, direct, and safe. An example of such would be training camps requiring XXX amount ofbat power. One only needed to have abat power higher than the specified XXX and one would be able to return smoothly from the camp.

    With no apparent reason, who would willingly risk their life going to those nobat training camps? As far as Chen Feng was concerned, though, this was the perfect opportunity. The huge benefits he stood to gain and the easier method of strength improvement at these nobat training camps were extremely attractive to him. As for the dangers posed by the environment? They were nonexistent to him.

    Thereupon, using three days, Chen Feng cleaned up all the nobat training camps. The great variety of poisons? It was truly unfortunate that with Chen Feng¡¯s Myriad Illusions his ability had much more variety. Luck? This was something Chen Feng specialized in. To top it off, since Chen Feng himself was a gene producer, these training camps posed no problem to him. Easily, he obtained all the rewards he could obtain from these nobat training camps. With this, his strength once again greatly increased. Even those training camps with an extremely high difficulty were easily cleared by Chen Feng.

    Using three days, Chen Feng reached the peak of C ss. Presently, at a certain location, Chen Feng was standing up calmly.

    "Peak C ss..."

    He sensed the power contained within him. Since this was the first time he had entered those training camps, the rate of his improvement had been rather huge. Moreover, he had obtained all sorts of precious materials thanks to the ten-plus training camps he had cleared. All of these contributed to his great improvement. Unfortunately, this was where his rapid improvement stopped. These few days, he had been sticking to a monotonous schedule, traveling from the Mysterious Organization to the subway before going to the various training camps. The most time he had spent doing this was five hours.

    Chen Feng sighed. "The amount of resources at the Mysterious Organization¡¯s disposal is indeed terrifying."

    Now it was time for him to enter thosebat training camps. Since he was already a person capable ofbating those of a higher level than him, now that his strength had increased, he was definitely not weaker than a peak B ss. These C-ss training camps were simply incapable of stopping him.

    He had a very simple goal: clear all thebat training camps and reach B ss.

    However, he seemed to have overestimated these training camps. Despite the obvious improvement in his strength, due to him being too strong, these C-ss training camps were incapable of exerting any pressure on him. Since he wasn¡¯t able to properly temper himself, it was natural that he failed to break through. After clearing four or five training camps in a row with no signs of a breakthrough, he was forced to stop. He was stuck!

    Thosebat training camps that were proimed as camps that would enable one to advance through experiences of life and death had all been attempted by Chen Feng. Unfortunately, he wasn¡¯t the least pressured by those camps.

    Mhm... indeed, he had obtained some other benefits. His strength was much more stable now, and his umtion was also thicker, but then, what was the f*cking point? What he wanted was to break through. Only after he increased his strength in the truest sense by entering B ss could he once again fuse with a new gic ability, and only with that could he once again greatly increase hisbat power.

    As for his attributes? Along with the increase in hisbat power, the effects of his attributes were now minimal. What should he do now? Chen Feng¡¯s head ached. To be safe, he had left all thebat training camps for the end and gone after those nobat training camps first. Unexpectedly, he had actually failed to break through due to him being too strong.

    Nowadays, he was too used to having experts as his enemy. As such, he had forgotten what an ordinary C ss looked like. If these C-ss training camps could make even Chen Feng experience the pressure of life and death, the other C-ss warriors would likely have had no hope of clearing these camps.

    "Things are getting somewhat troublesome," Chen Feng muttered. The C-ss training camps were insufficient for him, yet he wasn¡¯t qualified to enter the B-ss training camps. Was he going to be stuck here? Yes, during the past two days, his improvement could be described with the word "skyrocketing." However, he was still dissatisfied. He had initially expected the Mysterious Organization¡¯s resources to be sufficient to push him up to B ss. Did he have to break through slowly from now on? Perhaps... he could try facing a life and death crisis to exert some pressure on himself?

    Chen Feng sunk into contemtion. "This won¡¯t do."

    Suddenly, he thought of something. Perhaps... I could try applying for B-ss training camp ess?

    Even if there were rules regting entry to these training camps, Chen Feng was, after all, the savior of a lot of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s members. That, coupled with his Luck Aura, meant his application might be sessful after all. This was worth trying.

    At the Gene Production Association, the ashen-faced Hou Liang was staring at the update he had just received. ording to the update, Chen Feng had snuck into the Mysterious Organization in order to rescue Wang Yao. Ultimately, he had gotten himself killed. After the Gic Union had ambushed the Mysterious Organization, they had recovered some recordings from the scene and found out about all of this. The trembling Hou Liang yed the recording.

    Shua!

    A three-dimensional video appeared midair. In the video, Chen Feng was standing in themand center and was about to perform a suicide attack on the Mysterious Organization. Ultimately, he was killed by someone else. This was clear for all to see. On top of that, even the scene where Lu Hun destroyed Chen Feng¡¯s entire corpse could be seen. Chen Feng was truly dead.

    The Gic Union had benefited greatly this time, as in this operation, the identity of a huge amount of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s people had been exposed. For example, people like Lu Hun and Jin Dian. All the members of the Mysterious Organization who were at the Cloudswarm Mountain when Chen Feng was battling them were exposed. With the ability of a superexpert, the Gic Union was able to restore the information at the scene and figure out the identity of all these people. Subsequently, all these people were listed as wanted criminals. It could be said that the moment these people showed themselves or were discovered, they would have no way out.

    The information about these wanted criminals had been sent to all the wristbands in existence on this. The moment anyone encountered these wanted criminals, the Gic Union would be immediately notified. These people no longer had any way out. As for the research projects of the Mysterious Organization, all of them had been halted. One could say that, in this operation, the Gic Union had seized total victory. The only loss was Chen Feng.

    Old Zhu patted Hou Liang¡¯s shoulder. "My condolences."

    Chen Feng was dead, and the Gic Union had merelymemorated his contributions and expressed their gratitude to him. That was all. Since Chen Feng was a lone ranger, who would truly care about him?

    Hou Liang clenched his fists. "Chen Feng..." He had once believed that this child would be able to walk further down this path. Unexpectedly...

    Hou Liang sighed. In the end, you still ended up dead like those geniuses as well?

    At that moment, he seemed to have aged considerably.

    "Who is the one that killed Chen Feng?" Hou Liang asked.

    "We¡¯re not sure. We don¡¯t have any information regarding him in our database," the person from the Gic Union said. "However, from our currently avable information, we have deduced that this person might be called Wang Feng."

    Instantly, Hou Liang nked. "What?" Wang Feng...? Wait.

    Once again, Hou Liang reyed the recording sent by the Gic Union. Instantly, his expression became somewhat odd. Could it be...

    "Oh yeah, had the candidate to enter that ce been decided yet?"

    "No."

    "Tell the union that I¡¯m rmending someone."

    "Who?"

    "Qin Hai."

    ***

    Currently, at the Mysterious Organization, Chen Feng was submitting a formal application to enter the B-ss training camp.

    Jin Dian frowned. "You are applying to enter the B-ss training camps?"

    It was unprecedented for a C-ss warrior to apply to enter the B-ss training camps. The strength of the dangers in those camps were alreadyparatively higher than a regr person of the same ss.

    Back then, when they had opened up the C-ss training camps, the progress structure for all thebat training camps had been set up in a reasonable manner. From initial C-ss warriors till peak C-ss warriors requiring breakthrough, C-ss training camps with corresponding difficulty had been set. One only needed to meet the requirement and one would be able to advance by merely entering the camps.

    Even the gic warriors that were normally capable of challenging those of a higher ss would need to exercise extra caution in these camps to survive. Moreover, even if one cleared all thebat training camps, there were still those nobat training camps that were much more dangerous. The moment anyone was stuck in any sort of bottleneck and failed to breakthrough¡ªor perhaps one just was tired of all the battles in thebat training camps¡ªone could try their luck at the nobat training camps.

    However, they had never expected that a freak like this Wang Feng might exist. Nobat training camps? He had cleared them all long ago. Combat training camps? These camps were incapable of exerting any sort of pressure on him. As far as Chen Feng was concerned, he was simply visiting these camps to collect the resources avable there while obtaining a boost to his ego in the process. After that, these camps were no longer of any use to him. If he wanted to truly advance, he required a camp of a higher difficulty. On this thought he had decided to act immediately. After clearing all the C-ss training camps, Wang Feng had gone directly to Jin Dian.

    "So..." Jin Dian stared at Chen Feng with an inconceivable expression. "You have cleared all these camps?"

    Chen Feng nodded. "Mhm. It was quite easy."

    Jin Dian rubbed his head. "And even after clearing all of them, you failed to break through?"

    Chen Feng nodded. "Yes. A peak C-ss training camp is no longer capable of exerting any pressure on me. I need to go somewhere with a higher level of difficulty in order to even feel anything."

    Jin Dian: "..."

    Only now did he recall Wang Feng¡¯s test results during the recruitment. It was indeed true that this child¡¯sbat power reached peak B ss.

    They had neglected this because there were a lot of non B-ss warriors with peak B-ssbat power out there. All these people still had to exercise utmost caution in the C-ss training camps. Unexpectedly...

    Jin Dian smiled bitterly. Peak B ss was already an unsurpassable mount for a new recruit. As such, when they had been setting up their training structure, it had been based on this assumption. Now that he looked at it, it was apparent that even those who simrly had peak B-ssbat power would differ greatly from each other. After all, the gap between peak B ss and A ss was quite huge. And this Wang Feng...

    Jin Dian sunk into a solemn mood. This kid was already this powerful? Finally, he realized that the Mysterious Organization had probably gained a true genius this time.

    After understanding Wang Feng¡¯s circumstances, Jin Dian stood up and left. "I will deal with this."

    The limitations for the training camps had been put in ce to ensure the safety of their members. With Chen Feng¡¯s special application, the Mysterious Organization decided to approve his request. Somewhat surprising him. though, was the fact that the Mysterious Organization had not granted him entry into a higher-level training camp. Rather, they had issued a new order to him: Wang Feng was allowed to follow the exploration squad to open up the newly found training camp 089.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted furiously. "New training camp?"

    Jin Dian nodded slightly. "That¡¯s right. To be honest, regardless of how ample the resources those training camps contain are, all those are still something left behind. Only the first batch of explorers who were involved in the opening up of the training camps truly benefitted. ording to our deductions, the average strength of the existing dangers in this new training camp should not surpass B ss. Therefore, this is a perfect opportunity for you."

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. What a good opportunity.

    Jin Dian smiled calmly. "This is what you deserved. After all, you rescued so many of our members. A lot of people spoke on your behalf to grant you entry into this squad."

    Chen Feng expressed his gratitude. "Many thanks."

    He was aware that Jin Dian must have put a lot of effort into this.

    The opening of a new training camp, huh...

    Just imagining a ce nobody had visited all this years... With the average strength of the dangers there being B ss, that was simply heaven! If he was able to obtain the resources within, Chen Feng would definitely break through. Naturally, such a good opportunity would not be granted to Chen Feng alone. When Jin Dian brought him over, there were already three people waiting there. When they saw Chen Feng, their expressions were scarily dark. Prior to this, they had already agreed on their resource allocation. Now that Chen Feng had appeared suddenly, their share would have to be reduced.

    The leader stared at Chen Feng with a gloomy gaze. "You are Wang Feng? I heard that you are that guy whose poprity surged after killing someone by fluke at Cloudswarm Mountain. Hehe. Regardless of who you are, remember this: during this exploration, the three of us will share 90% of the obtained resources. To give Senior Jin face, you will be given 10% of the share."

    The remaining two had obviously unhappy expressions on their faces as well. As the amount of resources avable in a new training camp was extremely huge, a mere 10% reduction in their share was already an extremely huge amount. Now that they were being forced to share 10% of the resources, it was normal for them to feel unhappy about it. The more they looked at Chen Feng, the more annoying they found him.

    "Do you hear me?" that person asked coldly.

    The smiling Chen Feng nodded. "Yes."

    "Good." That person sneered. "You better be obedient. Or else¡ª"

    However, before he even finished his sentence, Chen Feng was already looking at Jin Dian. With a somewhat embarrassed expression, he asked, "Erm, I wanted to ask a question. Is it normal for explorers to die when opening up a new training camp?"

    Jin Dian was curious. "Mhm. What¡¯s up?"

    "So..." Chen Feng nced at the squad of three that were busy showing off their might in front of him and said, "If they all died in there, that would be reasonable, right?"

    Shua!

    Instantly, the atmosphere around them sunk to the freezing point.

    "You!"

    At Chen Feng¡¯s words, they were angered. Just as they were about to start raging, their gazes met Chen Feng¡¯s ice cold gaze. Only now were they truly certain that this Wang Feng was really nning to kill them. Was this guy sick? They were somewhat dumbfounded. Granted, they¡¯d had a minor conflict with this Wang Feng guy, but it wasn¡¯t so serious that killing was required, right? Moreover, even if they were nning to kill each other off, shouldn¡¯t they hide their intentions and carry it out secretly? Was this guy stupid for saying out loud that he wanted to kill them?

    This... Jin Dian opened his mouth, yet he had no idea what to say. The f*ck? This kid is truly vicious, huh?

    They looked at Jin Dian and angrily stated, "Senior Jin. You heard it. This kid is nning to kill us."

    Jin Dian scratched his head. "Oh."

    Chen Feng looked at them with a inquiring expression. "So what if I kill you guys? I remember that apart from specifying how we are not allowed to kill each other at our bases, the organization had never mentioned that we can¡¯t kill each other off outside."

    Jin Dian wiped his sweat and pulled Chen Feng back. "About that. You still need to hold back. Hold back."

    "What¡¯s the point of holding back?" Chen Feng inquired. "Since I don¡¯t like them and feel like killing them, I might as well do it. What reason is there to hesitate? I am someone who always does what I feel like doing. You guys are really weird. Aren¡¯t you guys the ones who provoked me?"

    That person opened his mouth, unsure of how to furthermunicate with this Wang Feng guy. "Even so, you shouldn¡¯t kill."

    "Why not?" Chen Feng asked doubtfully. "If I can¡¯t even kill someone who has provoked me, what was the point of joining the Mysterious Organization? Wouldn¡¯t it have been better to join the Gic Union?"

    Jin Dian: "..."

    Suddenly, they found what this Wang Feng had said to be perfectly reasonable, to the point they were unable to retort.

    True. If even after joining the Mysterious Organization they were still not free to act as they wished and were restricted from kill those that provoked them, wasn¡¯t it better to just join the Gic Union instead? At this moment, the atmosphere there became somewhat odd.

    That person snorted. "Hmph! Specious arguments! I am not going to waste my time debating you. If you want to kill, you are wee to try. I want to see for myself how are you nning to deal with the three of us alone. Go!"

    With a snort, he turned around and left.

    Only at this did the other twoe to themselves. True, there were three of them. Moreover, being someone selected by the organization to enter the new training camp, which of them wasn¡¯t a genius as well? Wang Feng might be a genius, but they were geniuses as well. Each of them was capable of transcending sses to challenge a person of higher ss.

    Chen Feng was all smiles as he stared at the departing three. "Hehe." He would allow those three to be unbridled for now. Mhm... for a mission like exploring the destends, it would be extremely normal for even an entire squad to die there.

    The Jin Dian by the side felt powerless.

    He truly felt helpless. "Is there a need for you to offend all of them the moment you meet?"

    Although he was a peak A-ss warrior with a respected identity, the three that had been able to grab a spot to explore the new training camp were all people with simrly powerful backers.

    "From the moment I was granted entry, I had already offended them."

    Chen Feng did not seem to mind. Rather than feigning civility with these people and smiling at them all the way, pretending to be their friend while waiting for a chance to kill them, he would rather be straightforward and face them head on. With his present strength, was there a need for him to be mindful of their opinions of him? That was simply ridiculous.

    Jin Dian could only nod. "Anyway, you need to be careful." The route heading toward the new training camp had already been set. There would only be a single connecting node, and only Chen Feng and the three selected to explore the new training camp were allowed passage. Nobody else would be able to enter.

    Chen Feng nodded solemnly. "I will."

    "I am not talking about them," Jin Dian said.

    Chen Feng raised his eyebrow. "Mhm?"

    Jin Dian paused. "Old Tang is the one who wanted me to tell you to be careful."

    Tang Lan? Chen Feng sunk into a solemn mood. Despite the Luck Aura he possessed, when it came to experience in and the usage of certain aspects of arcane studies, he wasckingpared to Tang Lan. Since Tang Lan had asked Jin Dian to pass on this message, something major would absolutely happen.

    "Please say," Chen Feng said solemnly.

    Jin Dian appeared extremely serious. "Initially, I believed that this would be an ordinary new training camp exploration project as well, but when Old Tang came looking for me... This newly discovered training camp might be a public training camp as well."

    Public training camp?

    Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed. A so-called public training camp referred to training camps that both the Mysterious Organization and Gic Union could ess. Any other parties capable of doing so were able to enter as well. Among the outsiders that would also enter, the Gic Union had the highest appearance frequency at these public training camps.

    Among the training camps avable to the Mysterious Organization, at least one-third of them were public training camps. However, since their private training camps were good enough, their members would normally not enter the public training camps, since it would be too dangerous. There, all sorts of enemies might appear.

    As the investigation of Wang Feng¡¯s identity had yet to conclude, he was not allowed to leave the Mysterious Organization. As such, he had not been granted ess to those public training camps. Beyond his expectations, the first new training camp exploration he had joined was a training camp that might be a public one. Even Tang Lan was warning him about it...

    Immediately, Chen Feng understood what they were trying to say. "The upper levels had not yet discovered that this might be a public training camp?"

    Jin Dian shook his head. "No, that new training camp is located in one of the unknown regions. As such, nobody has gone there before. The people of the Mysterious Organization are no exception to this. The only reason Old Tang could even find out about this is due to those arcane studies of his... To be honest, he himself wasn¡¯t too certain about this either. If he were to rashly mention it to the upper levels, they wouldn¡¯t believe him anyway. He has already been denounced once for submitting wrong information once in the past."

    Jin Dian was feeling extremely helpless as he said all this.

    Back then, Tang Lan had had a rather high authority in the organization. After all, arcane studies were something akin to feng shui. 1 Even if one did not believe in it, one would still try to act in manners deemed auspicious. However, ever since Tang Lan¡¯s failure that one time...

    Jin Dian shook his head as he recalled the past.

    "Is that so?" Chen Feng said knowingly.

    So... the new training camp had been discovered at the same time by both the Gic Union and the Mysterious Organization? This was in fact quite a normal urrence. Not all training camps were located on the other side of the. This time, the newly found training camp was located in a region between the Mysterious Organization and the Gic Union. Furthermore, a short while ago, an intense undtion had been sensed there. This was the very reason the Mysterious Organization had found this ce, and it was also how this mission hade into existence. It was likely that the Gic Union had simrly discovered this ce as well.

    If so...

    Chen Feng urged inwardly.

    Shua!

    Luck Aura, activate . Tang Lan had arrived to this conclusion through guessing. As for Chen Feng, he could directly verify it using his Luck Aura. Ultimately, Luck Aura confirmed the conclusion. The Gic Union had truly found this ce as well.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. Seems like this will be quite the interesting trip. Chen Feng looked at Jin Dian. "Senior Jin, please tell Big Brother Tang that the Gic Union has definitely discovered that ce."

    Jin Dian¡¯s eyes shone. "Youpleted your deduction as well?"

    Chen Feng smiled. "Mhm. Although I am not as experienced as big brother Tang, I am still rather talented, after all. When both me and him join hands to read something, the amount of information we can obtain is rather huge."

    Jin Dian sighed endlessly. "That¡¯s true." Ultimately, though, he still shook his head. "What¡¯s the point of telling the upper levels about this? They won¡¯t trust him; they won¡¯t send any reinforcements over to you guys either."

    "That is why there is a need to tell them," Chen Feng said. "Only by telling them this time will there be a chance of them believing him in the future."

    Instantly, Jin Dian came to himself. That was true. Tang Lan only needed to inform them about it. The upper levels could choose to trust him or not to trust him. Tang Lan only needed to prove what he said was correct and he would be able to gain what he wished for. For certain things, an outsider¡¯s perspective was indeed clearer.

    Jin Dian could already imagine the expressions of those people when they found out that Tang Lan was telling the truth. "Hehe."

 Chapter 365: Cooperation

    Chapter 365: Cooperation

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Jin Dian looked at Chen Feng. "How about you? Since that ce is now unsafe, there is no need for you to take this risk and go there."

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Don¡¯t worry. If there are no problems with our initial investigations, an expert will never appear at a ce like that."

    Jin Dian nodded. "True."

    The undtion that had appeared there a while ago was the only reason that ce¡¯s poprity had suddenly increased. Based on their guesses, those undtions might have been caused by some unique B-ss mutated beasts. As these mutated beasts likely possessed an extremely pure energy within them, almost anyone could directly devour them to increase their strength. An energy this pure was coincidentally the most fitting for the breakthrough of peak a C-ss warrior as well.

    When they had first discovered this, the Mysterious Organization had sent someone there to capture some of these beasts. Unfortunately, they hadn¡¯t even gotten a clear look at the beasts before they had fled without leaving a trace behind. Ultimately, their investigation had concluded that due to these beasts being too pure, they were extremely sensitive to foreign auras. As long as they sensed anyone stronger, these beasts would hide themselves and never appear. Hence, it was quite possible that they would not encounter even a single B-ss gic warrior there. Those deployed by the Gic Union would most probably beprised of C-ss gic warriors.

    Hence, this was quite a profitable mission to join. Could those discovered life forms truly help C-ss gic warriors in their breakthroughs? How many of these life forms were there? Were these beasts or a whole different race? All this had to be ascertained. With Wang Feng¡¯s present strength, even if he encountered those from the Gic Union, there was nothing for him to fear.

    Jin Dian pondered and said, "Be vignt. If possible, try to spare those three."

    Chen Feng raised his eyebrow. "Mhm?"

    Jin Dian continued, "Indeed, the organization will not do anything if you kill them. However, for these three to have been the ones chosen from the factions supporting them, it is apparent that their backers are not ordinary people. You must take this into consideration before taking any action."

    What Jin Dian said was quite easy to understand. He was essentially telling Chen Feng that if these three were killed, it was likely that the experts backing them would be provoked. Chen Feng would have to consider if he was willing to take on the consequences of killing them.

    "I thought all signals are blocked in those unknown regions?" Chen Feng asked.

    Jin Dian nodded. "Yes. However, there still exist certain abilities capable of finding out the true killer of those three if they end up dead."

    Chen Feng nodded. "Mhm... understood." He was aware that this was a reminder from Jin Dian. "Many thanks."

    Next, Chen Feng stepped into the connecting tunnel. Based on the set route, he selected the connecting node to the newly discovered training camp. After arriving, he walked out of the cave connected to the node. The sight of a region enveloped by a primal and chaotic aura weed him.

    This is what an untamed region looks like?

    Chen Feng was amazed. This was the very first time he had entered an untamed region on this. He had yet to even start doing anything when he noticed that there were three people waiting for him with unsightly expressions. He nced at them and noted that these were the same three idiots that were on this mission with him.

    "Something to say?" Chen Feng asked coldly.

    "Cooperate," the leader stated calmly. "After arriving, I sensed an unordinary aura. There might be some dangers lurking around. This ce is probably even more dangerous than we imagined. Hence, after discussing, we decided that we can give you a 30% share of the resources we find here."

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "Giving me 30%?" There were four of them. As such, a share of 25% per person would be the most logical option. If he were given 30% of the share, how were the three of them supposed to split the remaining amount?

    The leader pointed at the other two. "The two of them areparatively weaker. I am the strongest. Hence, I will be getting 30% of the share. I have heard of your strength as well. Since yourbat power is not any lower than mine, both of us can each receive 30% of the share and they will each receive 20% of the share. The share is decided based on what we bring to the table. Are you satisfied with this arrangement?" He stared into the distance and added, "My ability is capable of giving me an early warning of any potential dangers. Earlier, with my ability, I sensed that something seems off here."

    Oh? Chen Feng started pondering. He was somewhat surprised that these three had changed their attitude so fast. He had initially believed that, with their tempers, they would rather die than acknowledge their deficiencies.

    It seems like they are not as simple as they appeared to be after all.

    At this thought, Chen Feng¡¯s sense of vignce heightened. However, after pondering, he found that he could only agree with their proposal. The amount of resources avable here were not unlimited. If he insisted on working alone, he would truly be theirpetitors. As such, he would need to battle them for real to obtain the resources he wanted. To get rid of thepetition, he would have to kill all of them.

    Naturally, Chen Feng wouldn¡¯t have been bothered if these three had been the only ones he needed to worry about. However, if there were outsiders exploring this ce as well... Slowly, a n formed in Chen Feng¡¯s mind.

    "Let me introduce us. I am Ri Guang, and they are Yue Hua and Xing Hui. Although the three of us are only C-ss warriors, we are all capable of transcending sses to battle those of a higher ss. Although we are not as powerful as you, we are still capable of dealing with ordinary B-ss warriors."

    The leader finished the introduction. Chen Feng narrowed his eyes as he recognized this name. He had once heard from Xie Zhongtong that this was a person with an extremely powerful backer. It was said that his backer was a top-notch expert that was at level simr to Jin Dian.

    Instantly, Chen Feng understood the reason for Jin Dian¡¯s warning. No wonder Jin Dian warned me beforehand. If he killed this person, the backer would look for Chen Feng for revenge. That would be troublesome to deal with. It was quite likely that he would not be able to directly kill them now that this fact had been revealed to him. On the other hand, it would be a good choice to temporarily work with them.

    Chen Feng epted their terms. "I agree. However, I hope that none of you are ying any tricks. Otherwise..."

    The three of them exchanged nces and reached an agreement. "No problem."

    Since they had decided to cooperate, Ri Guang forthrightly stated, "Sorry about earlier. Suddenly having so many resources taken away from us to be shared with someone else, we failed to control our anger. That resulted in us threatening you when you first arrived."

    Chen Feng waved his hand magnanimously. "Forget about that." As for the sincerity of this apology, none of them truly cared.

    "I will get straight into the main topic then." Ri Guang lowered his voice and continued, "Earlier, just as we prepared to enter, we felt something off. After Xing Hui did some investigating, he found that, within this untamed region, a trace of the aura of outsiders could be felt."

    Oh?

    Chen Feng sunk into a solemn mood.

    The Gic Union has arrived so fast as well?

    Ri Guang split apart the chaotic aura pervading the air. "Look at this." There, among a certain bush, the faint trace of an attempt at concealment could be seen. When light was shone on it, a concealed footprint could be seen. Evidently, someone else had been here.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. The people of the Gic Union indeed arrived first! Was this the reason Ri Guang¡¯s group had taken the initiative to reduce their share, to gain Chen Feng¡¯s cooperation?

    "There are ample resources avable here. Even if we ignore the energy pervading the air, even here, a trace of that so-called lively and pure energy can already be sensed. However, before we start harvesting the resources, we must first get rid of those outsiders." Ri Guang¡¯s expression was cold as he said this. Regardless of who it was, the Gic Union or some other third party, anyone wishing topete against them for these resources was seeking death.

    "Good," Chen Feng agreed. Cautiously, they trailed the footprints. Xing Hui seemed to be rather good at this. Noiselessly, he led them as they approached the outsiders. After advancing for a while, the faint sound of activity could be heard.

    There are indeed outsiders here! They sunk into a solemn mood. Distantly, among the bushes, several faintly discernible silhouettes could be seen.

 Chapter 366: Exploration amid the Bushes

    Chapter 366: Exploration amid the Bushes

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At an unknown location, at that ce that was still unrecorded on the satellite map, a group of six was cautiously walking forward. They were all dressed in neat and clean uniforms. Every single one of them had a solemn expression. Only the one walking behind everyone else was carrying a heavy-looking bundle and following the rest, walking one step at a time.

    "Qin Hai, why are you so slow?" the restined unhappily. "Yeah." They were wondering if the reason they had been made to bring Qin Hai along was purely due to him being strong enough to carry their luggage. They couldn¡¯t think of any other reason for the Gic Union to make them bring along this guy who was such a drag on this trip.

    "I am truly wondering the reason the Gene Production Association sent this guy here."

    "Yeah, it¡¯s even more surprising that the higher ups actually agreed to this."

    "Well, they have no choice but to agree with the Gene Production Association¡¯s request. Our yearly supply of gene reagents are all sent to us from the Association. If we don¡¯t even give them this much face, they will probably stop sending us gene reagents."

    "Sigh, even so, they should have at least sent someone with somebat power, right? Even Chen Feng would do."

    Theyined endlessly. They had long found this Qin Hai guy to be an eyesore. It was understandable that the Gene Production Association wanted to send someone over to get their share as well, but then, they should send an expert instead, right? Even if they couldn¡¯t, they should send a proper gene producer, right? At least a gene producer would be able to produce gene reagents for them even if he couldn¡¯t battle. What had they gotten? A drag like Qin Hai.

    Qin Hai had previously been a super genius. However, due to the fall of the Qin family, he had turned into trash. It was said that, ultimately, Qin Hai no longer possessed any energy in his body, which, as far as they were concerned, meant he was as good as a cripple. He couldn¡¯t battle, and he couldn¡¯t use any energy either. The Gene Production Association was purely giving them trouble by sending this guy here...

    "Sigh."

    They sighed endlessly, yet they were helpless against this development.

    Fortunately, even though Qin Hai was now a cripple, he had still maintained the quality of his physical body. As such, he was quite strong and was able to take on the role of a porter.

    "Forget it. Just consider him some vebor sent to us."

    "Qin Hai, move faster."

    Theyined. Toward all this, Qin Hai merely raised his head and gave them a single nce before walking forward silently. Hou Liang had once suggested he just leave. However, he refused to give up. Since he had decided to walk this path, he would walk to the end. One step, two steps, steadily, Qin Hai walked forward.

    One of them red at Qin Hai and roared, "Make less noise. Are you afraid that no one can hear your movement?"

    Qin Hai: "..."

    This roar is even louder than the sound of my movement, right?

    The leader red at the both of them. "Lower your voice." Suddenly, he squatted down and a serious expression appeared on his face. He studied the ground Qin Hai had stepped on and said, "Something seems off."

    Everyone else stopped moving. "What¡¯s up?"

    "Shh!"

    The leader signaled them to keep quiet and started scanning the ground where Qin Hai had walked.

    Hum¡ª

    A violet radiance started flickering. Next, an astonishing sight appeared. A faint glow could be seen on every single one of Qin Hai¡¯s footprints. What was odd about the glow was that some additional glow seemed to be ovepping it.

    Everyone widened their eyes. "This..."

    The leader gestured. "Qin Hai, step down one more time from this angle."

    Qin Hai stepped down and moved his leg. "Mhm."

    Shua!

    The footprint was scanned.

    There, the glow of aplete footprint appeared. That was a footprint that waspletely different from Qin Hai¡¯s footprint. Someone else was here!

    Instantly, their vignce heightened. "It¡¯s them again!" They had heard from the seniors that, in the previous exploration of newly discovered potential training camps, there were times where those from the Mysterious Organization had appeared. Some neutral parties might appear as well. Those people weren¡¯t particrly powerful, but they were still rather annoying to deal with.

    "Be more careful," the leader said with a solemn expression. These people weren¡¯t too strong. However, they could still be trouble if they decided to mess around. It was said that, once, an exploration mission to a newly discovered potential training camp had failed due to these people. By the time the Gic Union had deployed someone else there, that newly discovered ce had already been plundered empty. That was truly a hateful development.

    "Follow the trail."

    "This time, we must not allow them to stay here."

    "Yes."

    Their killing intent surged. They had long wished to kill those clowns messing around with their missions. As for Qin Hai, he merely followed along silently with the bundle on his back. They started following the trail. Since they had been selected for such an exploration project, it was natural they possessed some scouting abilities. They were able to easily follow the trails. Soon, some voices could be heard. A human silhouette had seemingly appeared.

    "There is indeed someone else here."

    They exchanged nces and prepared to mount a sneak attack on these people. Qin Hai nced at their surroundings. A faint ominous feeling surfaced in his heart.

    This ce... Something seems off!

    If it was truly the Mysterious Organization, would they have left behind such an obvious trail? Nowadays, almost all gic warriors also possessed good wilderness survival skills. How could they have been discovered so easily? This was the first reason for Qin Hai¡¯s doubt. The second reason was his intuition.

    Suddenly, Qin Hai said, "Be careful. Something doesn¡¯t seem right here."

    They nced at him with surprised expressions. "Oh?" They did not believe that Qin Hai could truly discover anything. However, seeing Qin Hai¡¯s solemn expression, they exchanged nces and once again increased their vignce.

    The leader whispered, "Don¡¯t go out. Confirm the target first."

    The rest nodded. "Mhm." Could there truly be something off here?

    Shua!

    Noiselessly, they stared ahead. Distantly, that silhouette became clearer and clearer. When the silhouette neared them, the pupils of the leader shrunk as he said, "It¡¯s indeed them!"

    The rest raised their heads and noted that what their leader had said was true. It was truly the people from the Mysterious Organization.

    The leader sneered. Since their target had been confirmed, there was no need for any hesitation. He nced at Qin Hai in contempt before ordering them to kill. "Go!"

    As for Qin Hai, he merely stared at the newly discovered people silently. It was actually them! So was the feeling he had gotten earlier a misconception? Was he so weak nowadays? Qin Hai sighed.

    At the same time, several hundred meters behind them, someone was staring at Qin Hai¡¯s group with a smile. "The fish has taken the bait."

    "Boss, your n is too perfect."

    "Hehe, let the Gic Union and the Mysterious Organization kill each other while we profit from their battle."

    "That¡¯s right. The members of the Mysterious Organization this time don¡¯t seem too weak. We can let them rip each other apart," the people behind him said excitedly.

    As for the person called Boss, he merely smiled silently. Back then, the undtion that had appeared here had truly been too eye catching. Apart from the Mysterious Organization and the Gic Union, neutral parties that had happened to be nearby had noticed it as well. This led to what was happening today.

    "Remember," he whispered, "although our squad is rather powerful, we are nothingpared to the Mysterious Organization and the Gic Union. As such, we must not be discovered by them. We either do nothing or ensure their destruction once we make our move."

    His gloomy voice lingered in the air.

    The rest nodded their heads. "Understood." Since they wanted to profit from the fight of others, they had naturally prepared sufficiently. Right at this moment, suddenly, a bush near them started trembling violently.

    Who is it?

    Shua!

    The leader waved his hand casually and a burst of energy shot out of his hand and ripped the bush apart. Everyone else nced at it, and instantly, an odd expression appeared on their faces. Within the bush, two sturdy-looking figures could be seen entwined together...

 Chapter 367: Third Party

    Chapter 367: Third Party

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In a certain unknown region, a dense primal, chaotic energy permeated the air. The quality of the air there wasn¡¯t particrly good due to the dense energy. As such, it gave a stifling feeling when one tried to breath. A weaker gic warrior might even fail to breathe here.

    Chen Feng¡¯s group had just located their enemy after following the trail. The Gic Union! It was them indeed! Opposite them, on the other side of the bush, the members of the Gic Union could be seen. They noted that the Gic Union had the numerical advantage here. Despite that, Chen Feng¡¯s group did not feel any fear.

    Shua!

    The bush was split apart.

    The leader of the Gic Union¡¯s group sneered. "It¡¯s you guys indeed. Let me kill you clowns today."

    Ri Guang sneered. "Hmph! That¡¯s not for sure."

    Both groups stared at the opposing sides, and the air seemed to spark as their gazes connected. They were both studying the opposing side, and they were in the process of analyzing their enemy¡¯s strength. After all, this was an untamed region. Even if they wanted to fight, they had to exercise caution. Together with his group members, Chen Feng was studying the Gic Union members as well.

    Qin Hai?

    His gazended on that guy, that one guy whose existence was almost unnoticeable among the other Gic Union members.

    What is this guy doing here?

    With a single nce, Chen Feng saw through Qin Hai¡¯s current circumstance. "Working as vebor, huh?"

    Chen Feng smiled toyingly. How interesting.

    He was clear on the amount ofbat power Qin Hai possessed. Even without any energy left in his body, his presentbat power was still extremely frightening. After his body transformation back then, his physical flesh was now extremely terrifying. Even without using any energy, he still possessed B-ssbat power. Those people were using him as vebor? Were they idiots?

    But then, what piqued Chen Feng¡¯s curiosity more was the reaction of the Gic Union members when encountering the Mysterious Organization. Chen Feng¡¯s group had been following their trail to ambush them, but their reaction toward this ambush seemed somewhat off...

    Perhaps a third party was here as well? Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. He had merely thought of this possibility. Next...

    Confirmed!

    His Luck Aura confirmed his guess. At that, Chen Feng sunk into a solemn mood.

    This trip is truly getting interesting... A setup by a third party? Ah...

    Right at this moment, both sides finished studying their opponent¡¯s strength and started making their moves.

    Bang!

    Instantly, several terrifying radiances surged out. Not a single one of these radiances possessed power below B ss. As they had all been qualified enough to be chosen by their respective organizations toe here, it was natural that they all possessed the ability to transcend sses and fight those of a higher ss. The Gic Union had the numerical advantage here, but the Mysterious Organization had the advantage strengthwise due to the pure number of times they had trained in training camps. They shed, and both sides seemed to be evenly matched, as a single member of the Mysterious Organization could take on two of the members from the Gic Union.

    The Gic Union members sneered. "Only this much?" The Mysterious Organization members might be strong individually. Unfortunately, they werecking in numbers. As such, they would not be able tost as long. The Gic Union members concluded that they only needed to survive this initial eruption of power and those Mysterious Organization members would definitely die as the battle dragged on.

    Ri Guang merely smiled. "Hehe. I have encountered quite a number of enemies with exactly the same thought. However, all of them are already dead." Eruption? True, due to them having fewer people on their side, they had no choice but to erupt with their full strength right off the bat. After the eruption, their energy would be exhausted, resulting in a huge drop in theirbat power. However, could these Gic Union members survive long enough for that to happen? Ri Guang smiled cruelly. "Hehe."

    Bang!

    A terrifying radiance started converging in his hands. Ri Guang, Yue Hua, and Xing Hui started radiating with the same radiance.

    "Careful!"

    The expressions of the Gic Union members changed. They could see that this was most certainly a superpowerful joint ability by the three of them. With a solemn mood, they braced themselves for the attack by erecting the strongest defensive barrier they could around them. Surprisingly, though, the bushes around them started trembling violently. Some of them nced at the bushes but weren¡¯t bothered, as they thought that this was perhaps the result of the energy undtion from their battle. However, the trembling of the bushes was increasing in intensity...

    Shua!

    One of them waved his hands casually to split apart the bush. Unexpectedly, someone was in the bush.

    The Gic Union members were greatly rmed. Who?!

    "Who is it?"

    Even Ri Guang¡¯s group was so shocked at this development they almost peed their pants. All of them stopped their actions and looked toward the two neers. If this was truly a third party, they would not stupidly continue wasting their energy fighting each other here. Beyond their expectations, though, what appeared was two sturdy-looking figures entwined together... That posture...

    ??

    The hairs on the bodies of the two neers stood. Evidently, they were also shocked by this sudden development. Shortly after, when they realized what had happened, they became furious.

    Ri Guang¡¯s gaze was bitingly cold. "Who are you?" Doing the deed at a ce like this? Who were they trying to fool with this trick? Right at this moment...

    Shua!

    One of the two stood up. As he stood up, they noted that his height actually reached three meters, and there were a huge amount of hairs all over his body. He greatly resembled a barbarian. Both his eyes were filled with fury as he red at them. He opened his mouth...

    "Howl¡ª"

    One of the Gic Union members sneered. "Who are you trying to scare?" They had been tempering themselves out in the wilderness for so many years, what had they not seen before? This body shape... this guy was most probably the user of some magnification-rted ability. Hehe, it was rumored that there were some who had fused with magnification-rted abilities just to erge that specific part of their body. Such a person was usually quitecking inbat power.

    In an arrogant manner, heunched an attack toward that person. "Scram!" However, that barbarian merely stood there and, with his two fists, easily ripped apart the energy beamunched toward him. Next, his fistnded on the body of that Gic Union member.

    Pu!

    Blood sttered. That person was actually pierced through with a single punch.

    "Damn it."

    At this, the expressions of the people from the Gic Union changed greatly.

    Even the Mysterious Organization members were shocked at this sight. They were all aware that the Gic Union member had only attacked this barbarian to test his strength. Unexpectedly... this guy...

    "You are courting death!"

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The indignant warriors of the Gic Union started attacking the barbarian. One attack after another with B-ss powernded on the barbarian¡¯s body. However, the only thing those attacks aplished was to messing up the hair on that barbarian¡¯s crotch. He was still perfectly fine.

    Suddenly, one of them started shouting. "Aboriginal! This is an aboriginal!"

    At this, everyone sunk into a solemn mood.

    So this is an aboriginal!

    The exploration missions to open up new training camps were normally conducted in those untamed regions. As for the types of inhabitants, powers, or other items that these untamed regions contained, they were all unknown. At times, aboriginals would be found at some of these ces. Since these aboriginals had never gotten in contact with the outside world, they were rather different than normal humans of the outside world. One could call these aboriginals the people of a different race or tribe. Most of the time, the aboriginals of a single region wereprised of a single race.

    The size of all the untamed regions on this was simply toorge for humanity to discover the existence of all races. Despite that, the amount of aboriginals actually discovered all these years was rather low in amount. As such, some of the stories about them were treated as folklore. Now, though, a brand new aboriginal had appeared in front of them. A race that had never been seen before.

    "Energy attacks seem ineffective against him."

    Xing Hui¡¯s hands trembled slightly at this revtion. All of them were users of energy-based attacks.

    This barbarian...

    They were all rmed.

    "Go!" Ri Guang shouted.

    Shua!

    The Mysterious Organization members started retreating rapidly. Chen Feng nced around and followed them without hesitation.

    Simrly, Gic Union members did not hesitate in their retreat. "Go!" What joke was this? There was simply no hope of victory against such a person. The only thing they could to was flee. However, could they truly escape?

    "Howl¡ª"

    Everyone turned around and noted that the barbarian was actually chasing after them. Moreover, both the barbarians were trying to outmaneuver them in order to prevent their escape.

    "This is going to get troublesome."

    At this sight, their very souls shuddered and their backs dripped wet with sweat.

 Chapter 368: Harmony

    Chapter 368: Harmony

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Flee! Flee! All of them were frantically fleeing. None of the people capable of reaching this level were idiots. As such, when both the Mysterious Organization and the Gic Union had been facing off earlier, each of them had still held back some of their strength in case a third party were to appear.

    However, it had truly been beyond all their expectations that such a third party would be the one to appear. Barbarians? Barbarians doing the deed out here? F*ck this shit! They nearly copsed emotionally as they were chased after by the two barbarians. All their attacks on the barbarians were ineffective. The energy-based attacks were incapable of doing any damage uponnding on the barbarian¡¯s body.

    It was apparent that the barbarian was immune to all sorts of energy-based attacks. Even more rming was the fact that this barbarian possessed such astonishing speed as well. Any single one of them who was a step slower when fleeing would absolutely die. None of them dared to stop. Even when they were running without stop, the barbarians were still closing the distance. While running, some of the members of the Mysterious Organization and Gic Union stumbled upon each other. Earlier, they had still been fighting each other in a heated battle. Now, though, only despair could be seen in their respective opponent¡¯s eyes. At times like this, they were no longer bothered with allegiance or rivalry.

    They despaired.

    "What should we do?"

    Ri Guang bellowed, "Let¡¯s separate. There are only two of them. If we run separately, some will definitely be able to escape. The ones who manage to escape sessfully must return and ask for reinforcements as soon as possible. As for the two that the barbarians decide to continue chasing...you can only pray for your life."

    Shua!

    After finishing his words, Ri Guang was the first to separate from the group and run in a different direction.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The rest hastily changed their directions as well.

    Unfortunately for Ri Guang, the barbarians followed after him with no hesitation. Instantly, Ri Guang¡¯s expression greened. Just as he was running, suddenly, he felt himself step on something hard. He did not pay much attention to it, but immediately after that, an indignant howl resounded.

    He turned around to take a look. Immediately, his expression changed greatly. From the bush he had just stepped on, another pair of buff and sturdy-looking barbarians appeared.

    ??!

    Ri Guang was dumbfounded.

    The heck? What¡¯s going on? In other words, all the bushes here contain...

    He looked around and noted that there were countless trembling bushes amid this region enveloped by a chaotic aura.

    Could it be...

    Howl!

    The barbarians were nearing Ri Guang. Seeing how he couldn¡¯t escape the four barbarians chasing after him as everyone else took this opportunity to escape, he became furious. They had actually acted on his words and left him to die here?

    Ri Guang clenched his teeth and said, "If so, none of you need to leave!"

    Bang!

    His foot trembled and, instantly, a terrifying shockwave started spreading under his foot. The shockwave did not deal much damage to the surroundings, but it was sufficient to cut down all the bushes. Instantly, the area filled with bushes was cleared and transformed into a grasnd instead. And on the newly formed grasnd, numerous naked buttocks appeared...

    "Howl¡ª"

    Numerous indignant roars thundered. As for the rest of them that had been preparing to escape, they were all stupefied.

    "Scr*w you, Ri Guang!" Xing Hui and Yue Hua cursed before they started running crazily. Previously, they had merely been fleeing. Now, though, they were truly running for their lives.

    "What on earth are those things?"

    "No idea."

    "I have never heard of the existence of such a race."

    "Ah, ah, ah, ah."

    "I don¡¯t want to be captured by them, ah, ah, ah, ah."

    They ran frantically. They recalled what the barbarians had been doing earlier. Looking at how huge and sturdy the bodies of these barbarians were, they were unwilling to even imagine what their fate would be if captured. That was a scene they did not even dare to imagine. Suddenly, a chaotic noise could be heard distantly.

    "Someone else is here."

    They cried tears of joy after realizing that someone else was here. Normally, what explorers feared the most when exploring an untamed region was the appearance of a third party. Now, though, they no longer cared about the so-called exploration mission or the training camp. In their current circumstances, the prospect of seeing someone else made them so happy it felt like they were meeting their family.

    Hahahaha, someone else is here!

    They did not even care if the neers were on their side or not. As long as these neers could dy the barbarians...

    However, when they finally saw those neers clearly, their faces greened from shock. The identities of these neers were no longer of any importance. What was important was the fact that behind these neers were another group of barbarians.

    "F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!"

    "Another group!"

    "Run!"

    "Separately?"

    "What¡¯s the freaking point? There are more barbarians than us. Just run straight to the exit."

    "True, true, true."

    They started running frantically in the direction they hade from. The Gic Union, Mysterious Organization, and the passersby were all working together now.

    This guy...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng recalled the deductions the Luck Aura had given him previously.

    "Are you the one who caused the conflict between the Gic Union and Mysterious Organization here?" Chen Feng asked.

    Shua!

    The rest turned their head uniformly and looked his way.

    "I think so," thew neer answered meekly.

    "F*ck!"

    Instantly, the rest felt like kicking him out of the group.

    That person was tearing up in an extremely pitiful manner. "Dear big brothers, is there a point in saying this at a time like this?" The only thingcking toplete this pitiful appearance would be him pping himself. He said, "Yes, yes, I¡¯m an ass for setting you guys up. However, who would have guessed that there were so many barbarians here?"

    Everyone else: "..."

    They turned around to look at the howling barbarians behind them. At times like this, none of them could be bothered with actually giving this guy a kick. It was far more important to focus on running.

    **

    At the same time, a group of big shots in the Gic Union were discussing the jurisdiction of the newly discovered training camp after it would be tamed.

    "With them there, there won¡¯t be any problems."

    "The Mysterious Organization might..."

    "Hehe, they just lost their headquarters. I doubt they can put any effort into exploring a new training camp at a time like this."

    "True."

    "If so, we shall let those youngsterspete properly, then."

    "True."

    "They should be finished with the training camp by now, right?"

    At a different part of the world, simrly, those from the Mysterious Organization were also rather confident in the strength of Wang Feng¡¯s group. Despite the low amount of people they had sent, each of them was one of the absolute elites among the Mysterious Organization¡¯s C-ss warriors. Furthermore, with fewer participants, it would be easier for them to move around. As such, this might even be superior to bringing more people there. For instance, assassinating an enemy in confusion was much more aplishable by a smaller number of people. This time, they absolutely had to be sessful.

    "This time, we must grab control of this training camp."

    "Training camps are ces where only the initial batch will reap the greatest rewards. Even the subsequent batches will be able to obtain quite a number of good rewards. However, the more batches we send, the more the resources there will deplete. As this continues, the training camp will no longer be as valuable. Do you understand?"

    "Yes."

    "Hence, even the next batch we send there must obtain victory as well."

    "How about the Gic Union mentioned by Senior Tang?"

    "Don¡¯t worry. This is a ce the Gic Union can¡¯t discover. Moreover, even if the union has truly appeared there, they might not be the match of the people we sent anyway. We have Wang Feng there, hehe... and there¡¯s also Ri Guang¡¯s group. All of them arepetentbatants. Perhaps they are already done with it by now."

    Somewhere else, a peaceful-looking old man emitting a sagely aura was standing loftily, facing the blue dome.

    "Hehe."

    "The Mysterious Organization and Gic Union are busypeting with each other. Unknown to either of them, they are all idiots. This time, with Little Fang making his move, he will most definitely be the one profiting from theirpetition. Truly excellent."

    This old man appeared rather gratified. With a flick of his wrist, he raised his hand and started calcting with his fingers. "Looking at the time, they should be done by now, right? If everything has progressed ording to n, the Mysterious Organization and Gic Union should have killed each other off. He should be reaping the rewards and concluding the mission by now. If they are able to obtain all the resources there this time, Little Lu¡¯s future will bepletely transformed. The future belongs to you youngsters, after all..."

    The old manmented.

    Unfortunately, unknown to any of the three parties, far away from all of them, in the unknown region, the three initially opposing factions were now working together amicably, running together in the direction of hope...

 Chapter 369: Breakthrough! Surpassing A Class!

    Chapter 369: Breakthrough! Surpassing A ss!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At a certain location, Wang Yao was seated cross-legged. A terrifying power was swirling around her body. Akin to two dragons, the power of me and space coiled around her, condensing without stop to form an awe-inspiring power. Soon, when both powers reached a certain level of might and were more and more interwoven together, they started fusing.

    Bang!

    Instantly, a terrifying power surged, causing even the sky itself to tremble. A loud sound reverberated through the vicinity, causing anyone who heard it to tremble in fear.

    "Ao¡ª"

    "Howl¡ª"

    One howl after another could be heard. All the mutated beasts in the area became agitated, seemingly sensing something that had caused them all to be iparably agitated and horrified. All of them started charging in Wang Yao¡¯s direction. Before these beasts could even approach her, with a sh of red, the whole world seemingly sunk into silence. The serene Wang Yao stood up. Her initially peak A-ss power vanished as she seemingly transformed back into an ordinary girl.

    "Finally... I broke through."

    A smile appeared on her face. She had now surpassed A ss and reached a level far surpassing the current level of humanity.

    "It¡¯s time I go look for Chen Feng."

    After the incident back then, she¡¯d had someone investigate the events of the Mysterious Organization. After she had found out that Wang Feng was the one who had killed Chen Feng, she had stopped worrying. However, it was still rather dangerous for Chen Feng to stay in the Mysterious Organization with his strength.

    "Since I have already broken through, I will not allow you to suffer any harm," Wang Yao muttered.

    Shua!

    The space around her started copsing. Easily, Wang Yao ripped space apart and stepped into that region enveloped by a primal and chaotic aura. The very moment she arrived, all the mutated beasts in the vicinity became agitated. They were able to sense an extremely horrifying power descending upon this ce.

    Wang Yao shut both her eyes. Chen Feng...

    Shua!

    Shua!

    She started scanning the area with her energy, and soon after, she was able to locate Chen Feng.

    She smiled. "So you are here."

    This feeling of strength, how wonderful.

    However, right as she was about to go to Chen Feng, a translucent undtion appeared noiselessly around her and stopped her advance. From the void, an old-looking figure walked out slowly.

    The old man appeared gratified. "You have finally broken through... Wang Yao."

    "Who are you?" Wang Yao asked coldly. "The existence surpassing A ss of the Mysterious Organization?"

    The old man burst out inughter. "Mysterious Organization? Youngdy, you are indeed adorable."

    "Hmph!"

    Wang Yao¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. When facing such people who enjoyed ying tricks, she would never stay her hand. Moreover, she was incredibly powerful now and was filled with the confidence of a person who had recently broken through.

    Shua!

    Casually, she shed down. Midair, the power of space and me fused perfectly.

    Xiu!

    The perfectly fused power of space and me bloomed. However, when the attack neared the old man, just like that, it halted and hovered there, unmoving.

    What?

    Wang Yao frowned.

    Space lock? No... this is definitely not the power of space!

    A power capable of freezing herbined power of space and me, which now surpassed A ss, was definitely not something as simple as a brutish power. Thew of the energy used to freeze her attack...

    Wang Yao¡¯s heart jolted. Midair, herunched attack hovered there, neither exploding nor falling. "Time?"Wang Yao grimly asked, "Who are you?"

    The old man smiled. "I¡¯m but a simple old man. From the moment you returned, I have been waiting for your breakthrough. I have been waiting for 11 whole years. Finally, you have broken through smoothly."

    Shua!

    Wang Yao¡¯s expression changed.

    Return...11 years... this old man...

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Wang Yao started erupting in power. She was not nning to give the old man even the chance to talk. All the power avable to her was instantly unleashed. However, everything sheunched stopped upon reaching the old man, incapable of dealing any sort of damage.

    "Condense!"

    With a simple wave of his hand, he rendered all of Wang Yao¡¯s attacks ineffective.

    Wang Yao¡¯s face tensed. "Who on Earth are you?" Even if she had just broken through, she was still an existence surpassing A ss. Only after fusing the power of me and space, fusing her previous and present life, perfectly fusing of her soul and body, perfect fusion of two different powers, only with all this had she be the present her. She possessed a unique and unmatched power. This was her confidence. However... that confidence she had obtained after her breakthrough waspletely shattered by this old man. He was actually able to easily stop all her attacks. Who on Earth was this old man?

    "Child, you still don¡¯t know how to properly utilize your power." The old man appeared disappointed. "Well, that¡¯s understandable. How could it be possible for you to know how to utilize such a precious power, mhm? Only using the souls of your past and present life as the foundation and using the formidable power of space as the medium of separation will allow this pure power of me to transform into true power," the old manmented.

    Shua!

    He pointed midair. Next, the two attacks released by Wang Yao that had been frozen in midair started fusing.

    Hum¡ª

    The power of me and space started fusing, transforming into a translucent me.

    The old man smiled calmly. "This is what the true paramount of power looks like."

    Shua!

    With a casual wave of his hand, that clump of translucent me started drifting around the air.

    Ka! Ka!

    All the power Wang Yao was emitting started copsing. All the power of space she was emitting was shattered. The power contained in that clump of me was actually so powerful even Wang Yao couldn¡¯t resist it.

    The old man appeared pleased. "I named this me... Rebirth me." This was his masterpiece, a masterpiece that had taken 11 years to cultivate. Now it was time for him to harvest the results.

    "Rebirth me..."

    At his words, a vague understanding surfaced in Wang Yao¡¯s brain.

    She had initially believed the so-called rebirth experiment to merely have been one of the many experiments of the Mysterious Organization. It was beyond her expectations that there had been someone else pulling the strings. So all the rebirth and transmigration experiments of the Mysterious Organization had been organized by this person? She looked at the old man¡¯s forehead. No diamond was found there.

    "Even with an existence surpassing A ss assisting, out of 3,000 candidates who underwent rebirth, only 10 seeded. Among them, you are the only one who managed to surpass A ss."

    The old man appeared gratified. He seemed to be in an extremely good mood, as he had chosen to answer all Wang Yao¡¯s questions.

    "How about transmigration?" Wang Yao asked suddenly. "Out of 3,000 candidates who undergo rebirth, only 10 will seed. If so, among 3,000 candidates who undergo transmigration, how many of them will seed?"

    "Transmigration?" The old man nodded slightly. "Up until now, only a single person had seeded."

    "Who?" Wang Yao asked, but she already had her answer. She recalled that guy who was simrly as unique a person as she was. A person who had been thrown out to feed sharks after his high school examination yet had been able to make aeback for no apparent reason before transforming into a genius, a superexpert. Was that a superiority he had gained from transmigration?

    "Kong Bai." The old man paused and continued, "That child is called Kong Bai."

    Wang Yao nked. "Ah?"

    "Compared to rebirth, I have much higher expectations of transmigration. As such, the investment in it is also much higher. A total of 300,000 candidates were chosen for this. Over a period of 50 years, 300,000 geniuses were transmigrated. However, only 100 of them returned alive. Ultimately, that child is the only one who not only survived but transformed into a superexpert as well." The old man appeared to be immersed in his recollection. "That child is the only one."

    Out of the seven chess pieces, only Wang Yao and that child remained. The moment he surpassed A ss, the seven chess pieces could once again be gathered. With this, his years of nning would reachpletion.

    "It won¡¯t be too far in the future..." the old man muttered.

    Suddenly, Wang Yao asked, "Have you never imagined that there might be some oversights in your n? After all... this is a world heavily damaged by your rebirth and transmigration projects."

    The old man¡¯s gaze was burning. Oversight? Such a thing was nonexistent for a person of his strength. "All the chess pieces are constantly under my monitoring. None of them are able to escape their destiny as set by me. That includes you."

    Wang Yao merelyughed as a response. "Ah." Suddenly, she recalled the only difference, the only variable in the two lives she had experienced. This old man had always expected that the differences had actually been caused by her; as such, it was natural for him to not expect any sort of oversight. However, she was clear that even the events she had never interfered with were still different from her past timeline.

    For example...

    Shua!

    Suddenly, Wang Yao retreated rapidly and ripped space apart before escaping. The old man was momentarily astonished. Shortly after, he shook his head and chuckled.

    Wang Yao, you are still holding on to hope? Child, do you know that since the moment you underwent rebirth, everything has been progressing ording to my n?

    Shua!

    The old man swaggered after her. Unbeknownst to him, Wang Yao was escaping in Chen Feng¡¯s direction.

 Chapter 370: Me, Nuwa, Give Me Money

    Chapter 370: Me, Nuwa, Give Me Money

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In an unknown region.

    This seemingly peaceful region was in fact filled with danger. Presently, Chen Feng was hiding carefully within a certain rather-well-concealed bush. He did not dare to make any unnecessary movement. When being chased by countless barbarians, the only thing he was able to do was activate his Luck Aura before "coincidentally" separating from Ri Guang and the rest and hiding himself. As for the rest? They would have to take care of themselves. As for Qin Hai...

    Chen Feng thought about it and noted that Qin Hai did not need any saving. Those barbarians were mostly at the level of C ss or early-tier B ss. As such, they weren¡¯t particrly strong. The only reason they seemed so scary was due to their immunity to energy-based attacks. They relied purely on their physical strength when fighting. As such, these gic warriors who specialized in energy-based attacks were unable to do anything to them.

    As for Qin Hai, he was simrly a person whose strength was derived from his physical body alone. If anyone here could deal with those barbarians, it was Qin Hai. One had to not be misled by the huge size of the barbarians¡¯ bodies. If they encountered Qin Hai, the role of oppressor might very well change.

    "I don¡¯t think there is a need to worry about him," Chen Feng muttered. But then, their new training camp exploration mission had effectively failed. At this point, the Ri Guang trio, the Gic Union members, and the third party here were all inconsequential. Only the barbarians proved troublesome. If he wanted toplete this exploration smoothly, he had to deal with those barbarians.

    Chen Feng¡¯s head ached. "This is troublesome." He had to draw up a perfect n to have any hope of dealing with them. Just as he was wracking his brain, his wristband buzzed. Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s pupils widened. Wristband? Was that a joke? This was an untamed region; as such, his wristband should not be able to receive any signals. Could this be the work of some superexpert?

    He was aware that some superexperts with space-rted abilities were be able to ignore the limitations of such primal and chaotic regions and transmit information in and out of such ces.

    Shua!

    As the screen popped out, Chen Feng nked. Due to the limitations imposed by this primal and chaotic aura, the information transmitted to him was rather iplete. The name of the sender couldn¡¯t be seen, and the message he had received wasprised of a bunch of messy code and some weird things. Only five words could be clearly seen.

    As for the five words: "Me, Wang Yao, in danger."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    The hell, this looks so simr to those "Me, Nuwa, give me money" 1 scam messages... is this a scammer?

    Chen Feng¡¯s first reaction was to think this was a scam. Had someone hacked hismunication tool and was now trying to scam him? But then, who was it that would pay such a price just to scam him? And the content of this message... Chen Feng inhaled deeply. Regardless of the truth, he would know by using his Luck Aura.

    Shua!

    Luck Aura was activated, and soon, Chen Feng received the feedback. Wang Yao was truly in danger.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "Something really happened?" Since she was able to transmit a message to this location, Wang Yao must have surpassed A ss and reached a levelparable to Lu Hun and the other superexperts. But even at that level, she had still encountered danger? As Chen Feng figured out what had to have happened, his heart trembled in shock. However, even if he was aware that Wang Yao was in danger, he wouldn¡¯t be of much help. Wang Yao was too strong. Her current opponent had to be even stronger. How was he supposed to help?

    "Please believe in me."

    "I can help you now, right?"

    "I told you... I will definitely save you!"

    "I told you... one day, I will stand by your side."

    ...

    Suddenly, the words he had once told her surfaced in his mind. He had been working hard to increase his strength without stop. Finally, he had been able to rescue Wang Yao from the Mysterious Organization. Finally, he had been able to act like a true man in front of Wang Yao for once. This was the reason for Wang Yao¡¯s confidence in him. Even this time, having encountered an opponent she had no confidence in defeating, she had sought help from Chen Feng. If it was in the past, Wang Yao would have instead avoided Chen Feng with all her might upon encountering such an opponent.

    Chen Feng smiled. "Is this the so-called trust?" It had been truly hard for him to get the youngdy who had been an introvert for two lives to open up to him and truly trust him.

    "I can¡¯t go back on my words," Chen Feng mumbled.

    Chen Feng shut his eyes. Superexpert, huh? An enemy stronger than Wang Yao? Mhm... Let me think about it.

    It was certain that he would not be able to directly participate in a battle at such a level. However, that didn¡¯t mean that he couldn¡¯t affect the result of the battle using unique methods.

    Shua!

    Both his eyes were sharp as he checked his remaining luck value.

    Without any hesitation, he activated his Luck Aura. "Activate!"

    Help Wang Yao get free of her current predicament...

    He was not sure what, exactly, Wang Yao was facing. However, the power of luck was a power ranked far above other powers...

    "Luck Aura... time to do what you are best at!" Chen Feng muttered inwardly.

    Shua!

    A dim radiance started spreading. Luck Aura usage, sessful!

    If Chen Feng tried to use Luck Aura to help him personally kill an enemy at such level, it would be nearly impossible. An astronomical luck value would be required. However, if he was merely affecting reality to allow Wang Yao¡¯s escape, using Wang Yao¡¯s strength as the base in which Luck Aura worked on, everything would be much simpler.

    At an unknown location, deep underground, a huge stone statue awoke from its slumber. When its heavy eyelids trembled, the earth itself seemed to tremble as well.

    The stone statue asked with an oppressive voice, "Power of space... Have those humans reached this ce after all?" It was able to sense the existence of a super-powerful existence. Based on its ancient memories, this was a power surpassing A ss, a top-notch existence of humanity. Such an existence should not have appeared here.

    The descendents of this stone statue might be powerful and immune to energy-based attacks, but they were still helpless against the power of an existence surpassing A ss. This helplessness was even more pronounced when facing the power of space. The moment those banish-rted abilities were used, their entire race might go extinct.

    "Seems like it¡¯s time for me to end my slumber."

    Bang!

    Apanied by a thundering bang, its eyelid closed heavily. At the same time, a stone statue worshipped by the barbarian at the center of their tribe started shining, and instantly, it came alive. At this sight, countless barbarians knelt down to kowtow at it. It had returned! Presently, the old man had just arrived here while chasing after Wang Yao. Before him, Wang Yao flickered before vanishing, and the old man prepared to follow her. However, right at this instant, with a sh, a radiance appeared and blocked his path.

    His ice-cold gaze nced in a certain direction. There, a stone statue was staring at him. "What is this?"

    The newly awakened statue spoke in a somewhat clumsy manner. "Is... it... you?"

    "What the hell are you talking about? Scram!" the old man stated impatiently. Nowadays, even a stone statue dared to block his path?

    Xiu!

    An energy attack streaked forth. That power that was supposed to surpass everythingnded on the stone statue. However, it was ineffective.

    "Yi?" The old man was astonished. This stone statue was capable of blocking his attack?

    "Such... level... indeed... it¡¯s you..." The stone statue¡¯s eyes glowed red as it said, "Invader of my race¡¯snds... Death!"

    Bang!

    The huge stone statue erupted in power and charged toward the old man.

    The old man snorted coldly. "Hmph!" Next, a terrifying power converged at his fingertips and shot toward the stone statue. However, the moment the attacknded, his expression changed greatly. He was so shocked he almost cried out in rm. "How is this possible?"

 Chapter 371: Awakening!

    Chapter 371: Awakening!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Energy immunity! This stone statue was actually immune to energy attacks! Previously, the old man had indeed encountered some of those barbarians. Even for them, the so-called energy immunity they possessed was in fact a damage-reduction ability rather than pure immunity.

    For example: reducing the damage by 90%, 95%, 98%, or even more.

    As such, the damage dealt by any attack thatnded on them would be miniscule. This rendered them nearly unequaled. However, they were only nearly unequaled rather than being truly unequaled. Facing someone at the level of this old man, 1% or even 0.1% of his damage was sufficient to destroy those barbarians. As such, he hadn¡¯t been bothered with their immunity. Unexpectedly, though, this stone statue here... was truly immune to energy attacks. All energy attacks were ineffective against the statue.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The stone statue smashed all the energy attacks apart before charging toward the old man. The old man¡¯s face greened. Even with energy immunity, there were still other methods of dealing with this opponent. Methods such as space banishment, environmental transformation, and so on. Any sort of energy that would not directly affect the body of that stone statue would be able to deal with this energy immunity. Unfortunately, he had yet to obtain any of those. He had yet to even obtain the Rebirth me. Regardless of how powerful he was, he was still a user of energy-based attacks.

    Xiu!

    A fireball started blooming. This fireball wasunched with the strongest power the old man could muster.

    Hua!

    The fireball exploded. The stone statue merely stared coldly at the ck mark left on its chest by that explosion.

    Old man: "..." Finally, the old man was angered. "Time!" Since he couldn¡¯t kill this statue, he would lock it down. Even if he did not wish to utilize this ability...

    Hum¡ª

    Everything around him was frozen in time¡ªeven the air seemed to be somewhat stifling when one tried to breathe it in. However, rmingly, the stone statue merely paused slightly before it started moving again, totally unaffected by the ability.

    This time, the old man was truly rmed. "You..." Even time couldn¡¯t trap this damnable stone statue?

    The stone statue stared at him with a mocking gaze. "The power of time is also an energy-based ability."

    The old man sighed. "Damn it..." With a regretful expression, he nced in the direction Wang Yao escaped. Why had he coincidentally stumbled upon this thing here at the exact same time it had woken up from its slumber? Moreover, the timing was just nice. If this stone statue had appeared one second earlier, Wang Yao would have been held back here together with him as well. At that time, he would only have needed to kill Wang Yao to obtain the Rebirth me before killing this damnable stone statue.

    If it had been one secondter, he would have already left this ce to chase after Wang Yao. At that time, even if the stone statue chased after him, what¡¯s the point? He would be able to kill the stone statue after obtaining the Rebirth me. Why had the timing been so coincidental? Even luck itself was not on his side?

    The old man¡¯s gaze became cold. "You will ultimately fail to escape me. Soon, I shall..."

    Pu!

    A silhouette appeared in front of him with a flicker. Next, the gigantic fist of the statueunched toward the old man¡¯s face. That wizened face of the old man was beaten up to the point it started swelling, resembling a bun. At this, the old man¡¯s eyes widened.

    He grabbed at his swollen face. "You..." Only now did he recall that he was currently facing a never-before-seen monster. In the past, he had been seemingly omnipotent. Everywhere he had gone, nothing had escaped his sensory abilities, including even worms deep underground. As such, he had always maintained a rxed manner, akin to a god that had descended upon this ne of existence. Now, though, this newly appeared stone statue was a variable that had changed everything. It was immune to every attack he couldunch. Its speed was so fast it was able to escape his sensory abilities. But then, that was understandable. Since it was immune to all energy-based abilities, it was natural for it to also be immune to his sensory abilities.

    Bang!

    As the old man was pondering, the stone statueunched another punch at him.

    Pu!

    The old man was thoroughly dumbfounded. Damn it. How long had it been since he hadst been beaten up? He was a...

    Bang!

    Another punchnded, interrupting his thoughts.

    The old man started escaping fearfully. A superexpert like him was actually being beaten in such a wretched manner by a barbarian. The only thing he could do was run, to leave this ce. Howmentable!

    The old man eyes shone and his expression turned unsightly. "Stone statue..." He did not fear this stone statue. Indeed, he had been beaten up by the statue during their short encounter. However, he was ultimately much stronger than the statue. The only thing the statue relied on was its energy immunity. As such, even if the old man couldn¡¯t kill the statue, the statue wasn¡¯t able to actually kill him either. What truly rmed the old man was the variable! The variable that was the stone statue! The incidents today were not supposed to have unfolded in such a manner!

    The one soul he had fused with was an existence surpassing A ss and the possessor of the Reincarnated me. This power possessed the ability to read and analyze the future. Everything that had happened today shouldn¡¯t have happened. Beforeing, he had deduced the future and, based on his readings, what should have happened was him capturing Wang Yao smoothly before returning.

    Why... has this happened? Is it due to that stone statue? Or Wang Yao? Or... someone else?

    He had no idea.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The old man started deducing without stop as every event flitted past his brain. Unfortunately, it was unfruitful. No matter how he deduced, the result still indicated that the urrences today shouldn¡¯t have happened. Even after rearranging the n and his test, the final result was still unfruitful.

    The old man had an ominous feeling. "What¡¯s going on? What on Earth happened?" This was also the first time he had realized that there actually existed something out of his control out here. What was rming was the fact that he had no idea what on Earth had happened. The present old man was akin to a programmer who had discovered a problem yet failed to discover the bug. Even after numerous tests and rewriting of the code, nothing changed.

    "Variable... what is the variable, exactly?"

    The old man¡¯s eyes shimmered, and once again, he again looked at everything that had happened today. Ultimately, he could only ce the me on the stone statue. Perhaps, due to the immunity of the stone statue, it was something unpredictable? That was quite likely .

    "Energy immunity... Why does such a power even exist? Could it be..."

    Shock appeared on the old man¡¯s face as he recalled a certain legend. However, no matter what, he could never imagine that the one altering everything today was actually Chen Feng, who appeared to bepletely unrted to everything that had happened.

    Currently, at a certain location far away from the old man, Chen Feng was still immersed in operating his Luck Aura. After a long time, when his luck value was nearly exhausted, suddenly, the Luck Aura stopped automatically. At this, the luck value consumption stopped as well. Wang Yao¡¯s crisis had been solved!

    Chen Feng was overjoyed. "Done?" This was the first time he had fully activate his Luck Aura to alter reality.

    "The arcane studies learnt from Tang Lan are still quite helpful after all."

    Chen Feng was gratified. Even things like the usage of luck value and his thought process when using Luck Aura had been improved by the study. As such, he was able to use every single point of luck value in a more effective way. This was the charm of arcane studies.

    Shua!

    A pleasantly scented wind flitted past him. Before he could even see the approaching figure clearly, the figure was already gone.

    "An unknown expert seems to have emerged from the tribe of aboriginals here. That seems to be rted to the space undtion that resulted from the entry of us, existences surpassing A ss, into this ce. I have no idea if I have been discovered, but I will leave first. Don¡¯t worry about me."

    Chen Feng stared ahead. Wang Yao¡¯s figure was already nowhere to be seen.

    Unknown expert... A different party from the one chasing after Wang Yao?

    Chen Feng contemted and was able to guess some of what had happened. So, earlier, two different superexperts had battled it out, giving Wang Yao the chance to escape? As for Wang Yao, she was aware that she might be discovered at any time and was worried that he would be dragged in as well. As such, she had decided to leave speedily.

    His guess was proven shortly after as a streak of light could be seen chasing after her.

    Discovered?

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

    Unknown tribe... Mysterious expert... This mysterious expert had to have discovered Wang Yao¡¯s aura and was chasing after her. If so, presently, there was no superexpert guarding this tribe of barbarians? If so...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    In the unknown region, Chen Feng was silently reading the information he had gathered. All this gathered data was in the form of simplified keywords summarized by his Luck Aura. Despite the fact that only keywords were given, he was still able to arrange aplete set of information from these keywords.

    Scope of strengthening provided by their mutation: body quality. Usage of energy-based abilities nearly nonexistent; however, due to the unique structural makeup of their bodies, they had a high degree of immunity to energy-based attacks.

    A normal adult barbarian possessed an energy immunity of 90%.

    Through training and battle, the energy immunity was able to reach 95% or higher. As for theparatively stronger barbarians, their energy immunity was able to reach 98% or higher.

    Today was the Nightspring Festival, celebrated by the tribe once per year. Since these barbarians were considered to be a life-form that was borderline human and beast at the same time, ayman¡¯s term to describe this festival was "mating season."

    As such, every year at this time, a bunch of male and female barbarians started mating and went to the bushes toplete that deed. Unfortunately, during this year¡¯s Nightspring Festival, due to the entry of Chen Feng and the rest, this activity had been interrupted. As such, the tribe had started chasing after them.

    ---

    "So this is what happened."

    Chen Feng was speechless. No wonder every single bush contained barbarians. So it was because of this Nightspring Festival?

    Chen Feng contemted. His initial goal was to clear this newly discovered training camp. Now, though, it did not seem like that would be possible. The reason for this was quite simple. There was a superexpert whose strength couldn¡¯t be estimated here. How strong was that guy? That guy was strong enough to stop even the mysterious expert chasing after Wang Yao. With an expert at this level here, both the Mysterious Organization and the Gic Union would probably fail to transform this ce into a training camp.

    If so, all that was left for him to do was maximize the benefits he could gain here. He would have to locate some of the so-called pure energy before using it to break through into B ss. If that superexpert was still around, Chen Feng would not have had the courage to even think about this. Now, though, said expert had just left. As such, he might still stand a chance. Based on the information he had gathered, the life-form possessing the pure energy had been killed by the barbarians long ago. Now, the pure energy was located within the tribe of these barbarians.

    "Barbarians... Nightspring Festival..." Chen Feng muttered. There were still some methods avable to him if he truly wanted to take the pure energy from the barbarians. After all, their Nightspring Festival had been interrupted due to the appearance of outsiders here. However, would they stop the festival just because of this? That was quite unlikely. Chen Feng might not have been aware of how barbarians would act when they were horny, but he had once seen what his neighbor¡¯s cat looked like when it was horny. Back then, the pure bliss demonstrated by the cat...

    Hum¡ª

    Light started surging out of Chen Feng¡¯s hands.

    Myriad Illusions: me of Spring. This was an ability that was somewhat simr to the ability of Lady Xie Zhongtong. The only difference was that the potency of this ability was much weaker than that of her ability. It couldn¡¯t be helped, as this was a rather low-level ability. It might fail even when used against an ordinary C-ss or D-ss warrior. However, against these barbarians with no energy in their bodies...

    A n formed in Chen Feng¡¯s mind. "You guys are indeed immune to energy damage, but what about this kind of energy? Are you immune to such energy of pure nourishment that is good for your body? Even if you guys are immune to it... looking at how horny and sexually deprived you guys appear presently, only 1% of the energy needs to leak through your immunity. That will be sufficient..."

    Soon, he followed the trail and found the tribe. True indeed, due to the awakening of the mysterious expert, all the members of this tribe had gathered here. However, all of their expressions were rather unsightly. Evidently, they weren¡¯t feeling particrlyfortable at this moment.

    "Then... let¡¯s begin."

    A transparent aura started drifting out of Chen Feng¡¯s hands. It drifted along the breeze, along the air, and dispersed toward every single nook and cranny of the tribe. After a long time, suddenly, the crowd started stirring restlessly. Confusion erupted.

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "Almost there..."

    Now that the barbarians were dealt with, the next task at hand was to locate the pure energy. For others, this might be a hard task toplete. For Chen Feng, though...

    Shua!

    With one point of luck value, the coordinates were confirmed. And now, his remaining luck value had beenpletely exhausted as well.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "Found it!"

    He snuck into the tribe, and within aparatively polished building, in the smallpartment built using stones, a crude-looking stone chest was found.

    Ka!

    The chest was opened. A faint radiance started leaking out of the chest. Along with the leakage of this radiance, an extremely harmonious andfortable feeling started rising within Chen Feng. His entire being felt refreshed by this. At the same time, the stifling aura he was being subjected to by this region seemed to vanish around him as well.

    "This is the pure energy?"

    Chen Feng grabbed at it with his hand. It felt rather gentle and snug in his hand. A sliver of that faint energy entered his body, and instantly, all the spiritual energy in Chen Feng¡¯s body was seemingly affected, as it felt more lively than before. A feeling arose within him, a feeling telling him that if he were to absorb this thing here, he would definitely be able to break through. The Mysterious Organization had indeed not been lying about this.

    "Very good."

    He started looking for a suitable location for his breakthrough.

    Suddenly, a cold voice drifted into his ears. "Hehe, if I were you, I would not leave with that thing just like that..."

    "Oh?" Calmly, Chen Feng turned around. Next, several people appeared noiselessly and blocked all possible escape routes. The neers were the Ri Guang trio.

    "Weren¡¯t you guys been caught up with the barbarians?" Chen Feng asked with a faint smile.

    Ri Guang was ashen faced. "Hmph! You have your ways of escaping them. The same applies for us."

    Chen Feng nced at Ri Guang¡¯s lower body and noticed several bruises there. "Is that so?" Mhm... Damage that would remain on the body of a peak C ss until now... Ri Guang¡¯s method of escaping the barbarians probably entailed...

    Ri Guang was furious. "What are you looking at? Wang Feng, do you think that you can still return alive? You might be powerful, but against the three of us, you have no way out."

    Chen Feng shrugged. "I¡¯m aware of that. However, don¡¯t forget that we are not the only ones here."

    Ri Guang sneered. "You are talking about the others? I¡¯m afraid they probably escaped this ce long ago."

    "That¡¯s not for sure." Chen Feng nced at a certain corner and said, "See, they¡¯re still here."

    Shua!

    Instinctively, Ri Guang and the rest turned around to look at the corner. Indeed, at that rather sheltered corner, a faint silhouette could be seen.

    Ri Guang¡¯s trio was rmed. "Who is it?" However, when they get a clear look at who the neers were, they breathed out in relief. "So it¡¯s the little attendant tagging along with the Gic Union members? Hehe... Were you sent here to spy on us by the Union? Haha, for them to send an attendant like you for such a task, tsk tsk..."

    They shook their heads and startedughing. Xing Hui walked toward that person as theyughed. However, right at this instant, with a single wave of that person¡¯s hand, Xing Hui¡¯s body stiffened and copsed onto the ground. As the Ri Guang duo saw this, they each inhaled a mouthful of cold breath. Xing Hui¡¯s body had actually been punctured in a split second.

    Ri Guang¡¯s expression became solemn. "Who are you?" It was not possible for a person with such strength to be a mere attendant.

    "Me?" He raised his head calmly and answered, "Gene Production Association, Qin Hai."

    Qin Hai...

    Ri Guang¡¯s heart jolted furiously. He had heard of this name before!

    In prior years, Qin Hai had been a legendary genius. Even the internal members of the Mysterious Organization had considered Qin Hai a future member of the organization. This had remained until that incident where Qin Hai had been crippled... How was it possible for this guy to still be this strong? The answer to that was unknown.

    Yue Hua charged forth. "I refuse to believe that..."

    Pu!

    With a crisp sound, his body copsed onto the ground. With that, Yue Hua was dead as well. Next, Qin Hai raised his head and stared at Ri Guang.

    "You..."

    Ri Guang stared at Qin Hai, nced at the corpses of Yue Hua and Xing Hui, and, next, turned around and started fleeing without any hesitation, not daring to stop. Qin Hai merely watched on mockingly.

    Then...

    He shifted his gaze to Chen Feng.

    "It¡¯s your turn."

    Shua!

    With a cold sh, Qin Hai¡¯s attack neared Chen Feng.

    "Is this how you treat an old friend?"

    The helpless Chen Feng could only use his original voice to talk. At that, the Qin Hai¡¯s attack halted and a bewildered expression appeared on his face.

    "Chen Feng? The f*ck?"

 Chapter 373: Forcing the Enemy to Retreat

    Chapter 373: Forcing the Enemy to Retreat

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The f*ck?

    This was Qin Hai¡¯s first reaction when seeing Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Was this how this guy treated an old friend? He had most probably relented to Lady Xiao Rou¡¯s "attacks" and had since indulged in a shameless lifestyle. Look, even the way he talked was different nowadays.

    "Why are you everywhere?" Qin Hai asked with a darkened face. There was no trace of joy at having encountered Chen Feng. What a stupid question had Chen Feng asked. He had been tagging along silently, acting like an idiot around the Gic Union members. What had been the reason for all his effort? For the pure energy here. But the moment this Chen Feng guy had appeared here, would Qin Hai still be able to obtain the pure energy? Even if he ignored the question of whether he was Chen Feng¡¯s match, he would be somewhat embarrassed to fight over it with Chen Feng, the one who had saved his life. Therefore... this time, he had worked hard for nothing? He sighed helplessly. "Why are you here?"

    "I am now known as Wang Feng," Chen Feng replied calmly.

    "Wang Feng..." Instantly, Qin Hai guessed the truth of what had happened. His eyes shone as he asked, "Do you want to return to the Gic Union¡¯s side? If you choose to return, we can work together..."

    What an excellent opportunity! With this, Chen Feng would be able to follow them back to the Gic Union and escape the clutch of the Mysterious Organization. Surprising him, Chen Feng rejected his proposal without the slightest hesitation. "No."

    Qin Hai was curious. "Why?"

    Chen Feng smiled happily. "Because if we work together, I will have to share the pure energy with you."

    Qin Hai¡¯s face darkened. "..." This guy...

    Chen Feng stopped kidding around and stated seriously, "I still have something else I need to do." He whispered, "All this started in a rather idental way, but now that I possess the perfect identity as a member of the Mysterious Organization, I will not give up on it. There are certain things easier done with this identity."

    Qin Hai sighed. "You take care then. If any mishaps happen to you, I will be sure to burn some incense 1 for you."

    Chen Feng: "...Keep watch for me."

    He wasn¡¯t bothered with feigning courtesy toward Qin Hai. Without hesitation, he started using the pure energy he had found. He sat down cross-legged and started absorbing the pure energy to charge straight into B ss. By the side, Qin Hai¡¯s mouth twitched. Beforeing, Xiao Rou had asked Lady Xiao Yue on his behalf to read his future. Based on the original n, Qin Hai would only encounter a slight danger toward the end of this trip. Moreover, that opponent wouldn¡¯t be too powerful. As such, his n would not be affected. There wouldn¡¯t be any problems. Despite the slight danger that would arise, Qin Hai would be able to deal with it smoothly.

    But then, Chen Feng was evidently a variable that was beyond their calctions. Chen Feng could bebeled with the term "slight danger"? If Qin Hai truly believed that, he would be an idiot. As such, even thatdy¡¯s readings on Chen Feng were incorrect? Or to be precise, whoever it was that read the future, they would reach the same conclusion as Lady Xiao Yue? It was simply too hard for someone to read any future concerning Chen Feng? Forget it, he would treat this as an act of repaying Chen Feng¡¯s favor. With a bitter smile, Qin Hai concealed himself.

    Since he had agreed to keep watch for Chen Feng, he would do what he had promised. Distantly, where the group of barbarians was, the atmosphere seemed to be sizzling hot with passion. There, some outsiders seemed to be approaching.

    "Yi? Qin Hai?" a familiar voice called out. Qin Hai looked over and noted that the neers were those from the Gic Union. Cautiously, they took a detour around the barbarians and neared Qin Hai. As they saw the one behind Qin Hai, they were instantly overjoyed.

    "The guy from the Mysterious Organization?"

    "Wait... that thing in his hand, the pure energy?"

    "The hell? Qin Hai, you sure are lucky."

    They were overjoyed.

    "Haha. Now I feel like their decision of sending you along with us was totally the perfect choice."

    "That¡¯s true."

    "Luck is part of a person¡¯s strength, after all."

    In a gratified manner, they patted Qin Hai¡¯s shoulder before starting to walk toward Chen Feng. "Hehe. Take care of this guy. We can share this energy equally."

    They were extremely excited. Which of the people sent here wasn¡¯t an intelligent person? Since Chen Feng could determine what was going on with the tribe, the same applied to them¡ªthe only difference was them not having the exact coordinates of the pure energy. As such, they had arrivedter than Chen Feng. After finding out the rough location of the pure energy earlier, despite being chased after by the barbarians, they had still decided to take a huge detour before returning here.

    "Is this the pure energy?"

    "Hehe. Coincidentally, this guy is in the midst of breaking through. I suppose he won¡¯t be able to sense what¡¯s happening around him."

    "Haha, that¡¯s true."

    "Don¡¯t continue wasting time. Even now, one tenth of this energy has been reduced. Every second we drag this out, the lower the amount of energy that remains."

    "Understood."

    They walked over in excitement. However, right as they were walking toward Chen Feng, Qin Hai raised his hand and obstructed them.

    Their expressions darkened. "Why?"

    "Hehe. Qin Hai, are you thinking of hogging this all for yourself?"

    They sneered. "We are already giving you face by giving you an equal share. If you don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you, you won¡¯t even get that equal share. Hence, you can choose to either scram or..."

    Their eyes gleamed with killing intent.

    Qin Hai shook his head in a disappointed manner. "You all..."

    Bang!

    One of them decided to show no quarter and directly attacked Qin Hai. Trash like Qin Hai, who was only here as a drag, had only discovered this Mysterious Organization member, who couldn¡¯t move due to being in the midst of breaking through, due to his luck. Just because of this, Qin Hai was thinking of hogging everything for himself? How ridiculous. However, when that person¡¯s punchnded, he found with astonishment that a hand had been raised in front of him, blocking his punch. In a seemingly casual manner, the hand stopped midair. However, this very hand that had stopped casually midair felt like an unmoving mountain when his punchnded on it.

    "You..."

    He exerted so much pressure on his punch that even his expression was flushed red, yet his fist failed to advance.

    With a shout by Qin Hai: "Scram!"

    Bang!

    That person was smashed away and lost consciousness immediately.

    "B ss..."

    The expressions of the other Gic Union members changed. With that single move of Qin Hai¡¯s, his strength had been revealed. Never had they imagined that this guy here only to carry their luggage had actually reached B ss.

    The one leading the Gic Union¡¯s group merely stared at Qin Hai calmly. "No wonder you¡¯re acting in such an egotistical manner." The leader sneered and continued, "Unfortunately... you are not the only one capable ofbating those of a higher ss here. I hereby dere that Qin Hai has betrayed the Gic Union. Since you are not interested in your share, you don¡¯t have to have any share at all. Go!"

    Shua!

    They surrounded Qin Hai.

    Battle! As they looked at the clump of pure energy that was reducing without stop, they did not hold back, as they wanted to end this battle as soon as possible. However, beyond their expectations, even without holding back, they were unable to defeat Qin Hai. This guy¡¯s strength...

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Qin Hai took on two attacks head-on.

    Pu!

    Even after spurting out a mouthful of blood, Qin Hai maintained his calm expression while blocking all the Gic Union members. Without any spiritual energy, without any gic abilities, with his physical strength alone, he blocked the 10 of them.

    "So powerful..."

    Everyone was rmed.

    "We can¡¯t continue on this way," the leader said after noticing that another 10% had been reduced from that clump of energy. If this continued, even if they were able to defeat Qin Hai, they wouldn¡¯t be able to obtain anything.

    "We can¡¯t hold back anymore. Activate the group secret art!" the leader shouted.

    "Yes," everyone else replied.

    Hum¡ª

    A clump of radiance surged out of one of them. Next, the radiance spread and enveloped the rest of them. Multiple power sources interwove together, and at this instant, all their power seemingly merged.

    Bang!

    Suddenly, that clump of radiance formed through the power of the 10 of them exploded, summoning a huge three-meter-tall energy-based giant with a strength at peak B ss.

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    As the giantnded, it started walking toward Qin Hai. The earth trembled with every step it took.

    "Peak B ss?" Qin Hai nced at Chen Feng before looking at the rest of them. "Let me have a taste at what you are all capable of then."

    Bang!

    A dazzling radiance erupted. Next, blood sttered around.

 Chapter 374: World of Midgets

    Chapter 374: World of Midgets

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang!

    Light dispersed everywhere.

    "Not good."

    The expressions of the Gic Union members changed. That imposing giant was sted apart just like that, transforming into countless energy clumps.

    "Damn it!"

    They were all endlessly rmed. That was a giant unleashed through thebined power of the 10 of them, something that truly had peak B-ss power. Qin Hai was actually capable of sting that giant apart. What kind of freak was he? Wasn¡¯t he crippled? Wasn¡¯t he incapable of using any energy-based abilities? With his flesh alone...

    "We can only use that thing now."

    "But elder told us to only use that during a moment of crisis?"

    "Is this not a crisis?"

    "Fine."

    The leader took out a blue crystal.

    Ka!

    He crushed the crystal and a blue radiance instantly bloomed in his hand.

    Shua!

    A faint radiance started spreading and engulfed their surroundings, akin to a blue wave. Along with the spread of the blue wave, the energy clumps of the sted giant that had fallen to the ground started radiating dazzlingly.

    Chi chi chi¡ª

    Limbs started growing out of these crystals, and ultimately, all the energy crystals transformed into a group of vigorous-looking midgets.

    St.

    Bloodstains were dripping down Qin Hai¡¯s chest. He rubbed at his chest, and his hand was painted red with blood. "Indeed, it is still too difficult for the current me to deal with a peak B ss?"

    He felt somewhat regretful. He had initially believed that he would be able to defeat that giant. Unexpectedly, the giant was capable of transforming into midgets after its destruction.

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    Numerous midgets charged at Qin Hai. Each of the midgets was at the level of C ss. Individually, they weren¡¯t powerful. However, their terrifyingly high quantity was sufficient to nt fear in their opponent¡¯s heart, an opponent at peak B ss included. Moreover, the present Qin Hai did not have muchbat power remaining.

    "Goodbye," the Gic Union members said malevolently.

    Suddenly, lightughter resounded. "Ha."

    The Gic Union members were rmed. "Who?" After looking around, they found that theughter hade from that Wang Feng guy who was still in the midst of breaking through. He was capable of talking even though he was still not done breaking through 60% of the remaining pure energy.

    The leader was amazed. "Attention splitting?" It was rumored that there were some people capable of splitting their attention. These people were able to focus on the control of their energy cirction while doing a different task simultaneously. Such a person would normally be a person of great talent.

    The leader sneered. "Ah. There¡¯s actually such a genius in the Mysterious Organization? Even if you can split your attention, so what? You are still in the midst of breaking through. How much of your power can you spare to deal with us?"

    Regardless of whether that Wang Feng was splitting his attention, with his current condition of being midbreakthrough, he would not be able to use more than 10% of his power. The moment he used too much of his power, his breakthrough would fail. On top of that, after that happened, he would no longer be able to break through in his whole life. What was to fear about such a person? He wouldn¡¯t even feel any fear if a peak-condition Wang Feng was standing here, let alone the present Wang Feng who was as good as a cripple?

    Chen Feng merely smiled as a response. "Hehe." Naturally, he was incapable of the so-called attention splitting. In fact, he was relying only on Xiao Ying to maintain the energy cirction in his body. Even if Xiao Ying only possessed the intelligence the level of a child, it was still capable of this. What the Gic Union member had said was indeed correct. Presently, he could only utilize 10% of his power. Moreover, even this 10% was on the premise of the constant supply from that clump of pure energy he was absorbing. Otherwise, Chen Feng would not have been able to even move. But then, 10% was sufficient for him to deal with these people.

    "Are you truly so confident?" The leader did not n to continue bbering on with this guy. He believed that even if both Wang Feng and Qin Hai worked together in their peak condition, he would still be able to kill them easily. Now that even the blue crystal had been used, was there still anything to fear?

    "Shh..." Chen Feng whispered. "Ten. Nine. Eight."

    ...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng had started counting down. At this, the expressions of the Gic Union members changed. What was this guy nning? Countdown? A countdown for what? His breakthrough?

    They nced at Wang Feng and noted that he was still far from breaking through. Why was he counting down, then? Despite not knowing the reason, the leader could acutely feel that something was off.

    "Five. Four."

    ...

    Chen Feng¡¯s faint voice reverberated.

    "Charge!" the leader ordered without the slightest hesitation.

    Shua!

    The numerous midgets started charging toward Chen Feng. At the same moment, Chen Feng finished his countdown.

    "One!"

    Shua!

    The world sunk into silence. All the Gic Union members started looking around cautiously. As for the charging midgets, they all became cautious as they braced for the eruption of a battle. However, nothing happened.

    The leader startedughing from his anger. "Hehe. Are you trying to drag this out?" He barked out, "Charge!"

    All the midgets charged forth crazily. This time, Chen Feng was the one smiling. Previously, the countdown had not been for his breakthrough. Rather, it had been for the recovery of his luck value. Right after the finish of his countdown, one point of luck value had been regenerated. It wasn¡¯t a high amount, but it was sufficient.

    Chen Feng smiled as he said, "Group battle?" I¡¯m much more proficient at this than you guys.

    Shua!

    His hand started radiating. Myriad Illusions, activate!

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    Along with the eruption of an odd radiance from Chen Feng¡¯s hand, clumps of red radiance appeared midair before they all started transforming into midgets.

    The Gic Union members nked.

    "What?!"

    Energy midgets? This... How had he learned this ability? Even when using such midgets, did he not need to first make some other preparations? Even the Gic Union members had only summoned the midgets after the energy giant earlier had been sted apart. Only with this had there been sufficient energy to summon these midgets. But this guy here...

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    Numerous vicious-looking midgets appeared. The Gic Union members were all rendered speechless when they saw that some of the midgets were wearing energy armor, some were carrying forks, whips, or other weapons... All of the newly summoned midgets were armed!

    The Gic Union members were all dumbfounded. "What the h*ll is this?" Energy midgets could be utilized in such a manner?

    Xiu!

    Xiu!

    After 36 energy midgets appeared, Chen Feng¡¯s 10% power was fully exhausted. Even if he was now much strongerpared to the past, with only 10% of his power and one point of luck value, this was as much as he could do.

    The Gic Union members breathed out in relief. "Luckily." Their midgets were somewhatcking when it came to equipment, but they had the numerical advantage! Over 300 of them against 36 of Wang Feng¡¯s midgets!

    Mhm, a disparity of tenfold. There shouldn¡¯t be any problems, then.

    "Kill!"

    The numerous blue midgets of the Gic Union shed with the red midgets of Chen Feng. The difference of might between the armed and non armed midgets was apparent from the first crash. Almost instantly, the blue midgets suffered heavy losses, countless amounts of them dead.

    Even with this, the Gic Union members did not have any change in expression. It was nothing if some of their blue midgets died from this. The only thing they cared about was the final victory. However, as the battle progressed, their expressions started changing, and they kept changing until the end.

    When they saw a red midget piercing through their blue midgets like amb kebab...

    When they saw a red midget riding on a blue midget with a whip around it like a mount...

    When they saw this, their expressions greened. Why? They werepletely stupefied. These midgets were essentially something formed purely of energy with no wisdom of their own. Only a faint trace of consciousness existed in these midgets. However, those red midgets seemed capable of learning while in the midst of battle? This was too excessive!!

    Chapter 375: The Profitable Third Party

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In the tribe, the heated Nightspring Festival was still progressing. Three-meter-tall sturdy males and three-meter-tall dreamy females were doing it in the public square of their tribe. In a certain bush at the entrance of their tribe, several pitch-ck figures popped out. After a nce at the tribe, they noiselessly hid back in the bush. These figures were precisely the neutral party that had been nning to profit from the fight of Gic Union and Mysterious Organization earlier. They had actually survived the pursuit of the barbarians as well.

    One of them whispered, "Boss, the Mysterious Organization members are nowhere to be seen."

    "The Gic Union members don¡¯t seem to be here either," another person replied.

    "Only barbarians..." another person muttered.

    He had only observed this tribe for 10 short seconds. However, what he had seen in these 10 short seconds had almost blinded his eyes. After being a scout for so many years, this was the first time he had felt that scouting was such an ufortable task. Even if he ignored the male barbarians, the sight of the female barbarians¡ªsuch as their powerful arms, their millstone-looking faces, or their moans that were sonorous and imposing and sounded like a tiger¡¯s roar...D*mn!

    The leader red at them. "Stay calm."

    The rest might not be aware, but it couldn¡¯t escape him. Those people were definitely somewhere here as well.

    "Be more careful. Take a detour around these barbarians and sneak over there. Within this huge vige, that is the only area free of any barbarians. The members of the Mysterious Organization and the Gic Union are definitely in there," the leader ordered in a whisper.

    The rest nodded.

    "Understood."

    They were all still rather confident in this leader of theirs. The basis of their confidence in him was that extremely unique ability he possessed, that stunningly outstanding talent he had, and that unique bloodline ability he possessed.

    ----

    Talent name: The Profitable Third Party

    Function: When two different energies sh with each other in the user¡¯s vicinity, the user will always be able to detect this sh. Through this, the user will be able to determine the overallbat power of the two shing parties.

    Revision: Capable of altering thebat power of both camps (roughly 10% change)

    Range: 100 kilometers

    Consumption: one point of spiritual energy

    ----

    Indeed, this was an ability with zerobat power. However, it was precisely this ability with zerobat power that was a heaven-defying ability and allowed him to enable anyone to reap the rewards from the battle of two different parties by hiding in the dark. Within a distance of 100 kilometers, none were able to avoid his detection. That was the scariest aspect of his ability.

    At nearly the same instant the Gic Union members and Mysterious Organization members shed, he obtained their information and was able to easily follow the trail all the way until here. What was even scarier was that add-on of his ability, Revision. Even if the disparity between the shing parties was huge, it wouldn¡¯t matter to him. With this function, he would be able to increase the power of the weaker side by 10% and reduce the power of the stronger side by 10%.

    An altercation at this level was sufficient to change the result of a battle. At the very least, it would ensure that his enemies would suffer more damage from their sh. After all, there were times where the battle would end as long as the opponent was dealt sufficient damage.

    Revision was truly an extremely terrifying and heaven-defying ability. This was also an ability no one had seen before. Because of this, presently, the amount of different gic abilities required to fuse toe up with this final ability was unknown. It might require five or six. However, what was certain was the fact that this was an ability with a single use.

    It was also due to this that the rest of them had deduced that those possessing this ability would definitely possess a weakbat power. Since the user of this ability would use up all his slots to fuse with gic abilities whose fusion would be required to ultimately create this single ability, even if the user of this ability was A ss, he would not possess muchbat power. Surprisingly, though, this leader of theirs was instead the one with the highestbat power in their group.

    Was it due to him obtaining a huge amount of resources using this ability, resources he had subsequently used to train himself? Or perhaps... he was innately talented when it came tobat? It remained a mystery. The only thing they knew was that this leader of theirs possessed an extremely terrifyingbat power and had an astonishing ability on top of that.

    Since the assembly of this squad of theirs, they had been profiting off the fight of others for quite some time, never failing. This time, if it hadn¡¯t been for the appearance of the barbarians, they would have seeded long ago. In their eyes, this leader was simply a legendary figure.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The leader was emitting a faint glow from his eyes. His gaze swept past the depths of the tribe and was able to clearly see two different parties that belonged to the Mysterious Organization and Gic Union respectively. As for the difference in theirbat power, it was nearly zero.

    "Evenly matched, huh?"

    He was overjoyed. This was the favorite setting of his. With this, both sides would normally suffer equal damage before he appeared with his squad and defeated everyone present, taking away all avable resources.

    Mhm... even the Mysterious Organization and Gic Union would not be an exception to this. They were hidden far away and were observing the sh of the two parties. However, he noticed an odd thing. The number representing the Gic Union¡¯sbat power was reducing without stop. As for the Mysterious Organization, it never changed. To be precise, it was slowly increasing. Initially, he had been waiting for the Nightspring Festival to end so that the barbarians could participate in the chaotic battle as well. Unexpectedly, these barbarians had such powerful vitality and were able tost so long when doing that deed.

    He narrowed his eyes. "Something seems off." Both parties were obviously shing. Why was thebat power of one particr side increasing without stop? This did not seem right. As such, he did not dare to interrupt their battle yet.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    His ability, The Profitable Third Party, was activated once again.

    Shua!

    The data was refreshed. At this, an astonishing scene appeared. In a split second, the data representing the Gic Union had vanished, as if all of them were dead. As for the Mysterious Organization, the data representing them had increased sharply.

    ???

    He had an ominous feeling. For something like this to have happened... was this a trap set for him by the Gic Union and Mysterious Organization?

    Without hesitating, he ordered their retreat. "Retreat!"

    "Boss?" Everyone else was confused. Retreat? But they were already on the verge of sess. They only needed to wait for the battle to end...

    Without the slightest hesitation, he ordered, "Retreat! Now!"

    Shua!

    He took the initiative and started retreating.

    The rest exchanged nces and clenched their teeth. Ultimately, they decided to trust him and retreated together with him. Before leaving, he nced onest time at that ce.

    Shua!

    Once again, the data was refreshed. The data representing the Mysterious Organization¡¯sbat power increased greatly one more time. As for the data representing the Gic Union, it disappearedpletely. At this point, even if his Revision was able to change theirbat power by 100%, it would still be useless. Instantly, his very soul shivered. Something was indeed wrong here.

    Retreat! Retreat! They retreated rapidly, not leaving any traces behind. He had been relying on his wit and his tricks to stay alive all this while. Only a person alive would be able to increase one¡¯s strength. Only by hiding in the dark would he be able to scheme against others.

    "Boss, are we retreating just like this?"

    "The Gic Union was suddenly destroyed. The reason is unknown." The captain shook his head and continued, "With the disappearance of an opposing party, I am no longer able to detect their exact position. However, at the very least, theirbat power was exposed to me during their sh earlier. A power at that level... hehe. Use an anonymous identity to issue a mission with 10 million as the reward. Set this ce as the venue."

    His underlings nodded. "Yes."

    He stared ahead into the distance. "Regardless of who it was that was victorious, I will allow you to stay happy for now." Since they were not evenly matched, he would create a situation where his enemies were all evenly matched against each other. This mission with a 10 million reward would be sufficient to lure a bunch of people over here. Even if they were all simrly C-ss warriors with the ability to challenge those of a higher ss, there were still a lot of people out there that were confident in their own strength. When those people arrived...

    Hehe.

    As long as they started shing, the effect of his ability would be maximized. At that time, he would remain hidden in the dark and use his Revision ability. That would be sufficient for him to control the result of their battles. Controlling the tides of war was in fact the feat he was most apt at.

    Right at this moment, in the tribe, a formidable aura surged. The converging aura was akin to a white dragon, radiating an rming might. Slowly, Chen Feng opened his eyes.

    Have I broken through?

    He started feeling up the brand new power within his body. Under the nourishment of this enormous pure energy he had obtained from the tribe, he had finally broken through. From C ss, he had entered B ss. His spiritual energy had gone through a transformation and hisbat power had grown once again. On top of that, he was once more able to fuse with a new gene reagent.

    "I can fuse with my fifth gene now?"

    The corner of Chen Feng¡¯s mouth curled up, forming a smile.

    I am truly... looking forward to it.

    Shua!

    He stood up. He had been in charge of killing all the Gic Union members, while Qin Hai had been in charge of killing off the Mysterious Organization members. This time, they had cleaned up all the members of each other¡¯s squad. Even if their respective organizations suspected the death of their members, the doubt would not fall on them, since the members of each side had respectively been killed by a member of an opposing organization. This was the perfect way to deal with them.

    "Qin Hai, we..."

    Chen Feng pushed open the door and instantly nked. Out there, at the entrance, stood Qin Hai. His tall and straight figure currently appeared short and small, because as of an unknown point in time, the entrance was now filled to the brim with barbarians. Several hundred of them could be seen.

    "What evil thing have you done to them?" Chen Feng muttered.

    This amount of them... have you been interrupting the "activities" of their Nightspring Festival again?

    Qin Hai: "..." He stared at Chen Feng snappishly and gnashed these words out of his teeth: "Have you forgotten how an aura above C ss can¡¯t appear in this ce?"

    "Yeah." Chen Feng nodded. "There¡¯s no B ss here¡ª"

    Midsentence, he nked.

    Qin Hai sighed. "Do you understand what happened now?"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    In other words, these barbarians hade due to them sensing the unordinary power his body emitted the instant he had broken through into B ss? He rubbed his head. He was aware that only those C ss and below were allowed to exist here. Regardless of the Mysterious Organization or Gic Union, when they had sent their people here, they had simrly advised that it would be fine to have someone capable of challenging a higher sse. However, a B-ss gic warrior absolutely could not enter. That was the requirement they needed to abide by.

    All the while, Chen Feng had believed that this advice was due to that mysterious expert he had seen earlier. Now, though, he understood that this advice was due to the rm mechanism these barbarians seemed to possess. Due to their unique bodies, they possessedbat power that rivaled B ss. They were able to easily beat up all C sses in existence. However, a power of B ss or above was truly a threat to them. As such, these barbarians possessed an innate sensory mechanism toward these powers. In their eyes, the present Chen Feng had transformed into a threat.

    Instantly, Chen Feng came to an understanding. "So this is the case."

    "Therefore." Qin Hai pondered and continued, "If I were to flee by myself now, they would most probably ignore me and stay here just to capture you?"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Why did he feel like Qin Hai¡¯s mind had been polluted by Lady Xiao Rou? Back then, Qin Hai had been a person filled with a sense of justice!

    Howl! Howl!

    The barbarians eyed them viciously. Slowly, they approached. Chen Feng and Qin Hai could only retreat one step at a time. Soon, they no longer had anywhere to retreat to. This was in fact the ancestral hall of the barbarians. Since the pure energy was considered a treasure by the barbarians, it was natural they had ced it here. After all, this was the core region of the barbarians¡¯ tribe!

    Hua¡ª

    Groups of barbarians blocked all their escape routes.

    "This is getting troublesome..." Chen Feng muttered. Despite his recent breakthrough into B ss, despite the increase in his strength, he did not believe that he would be able to survive the attacks of several hundred barbarians.

    Shua!

    He pointed midair. His Myriad Illusions activated, and a gush of energy shot out.

    Pop!

    The fiery red energy sted the body of one of the barbarians. The clump of hair on that barbarian¡¯s chest was burnt ck and... nothing else happened. The barbarian suffered no damage despite that being a B-ss attack. Against these barbarians with over 90% immunity to energy attacks, it was impossible for his attack to be sessful.

    "What if I fuse with a new ability..."

    Chen Feng shook his head. A person¡¯s strength would indeed increase after breaking through. However, only fusing with a new gic ability would bring a qualitative change, increasing one¡¯sbat power greatly. Now, though, in this situation where his energy attacks were ineffective, the only thing he could rely on was brute force alone.

    Ka!

    Ka!

    He clenched his fists. A faint energy started converging within his body. Shortly after, he gained aprehensive understanding of his body. The power of his body was only at the level of a D ss. As for these barbarians, even the weakest of them was at C ss. Energy Equipment? It would be ineffective here. Nethergaze...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes started glowing red. With his present B-ss power, facing an opponent with even 95% immunity against energy attacks, his Nethergaze might be able to help him insta-kill one of them. However, that was the limit¡ªonly one enemy killed. Myriad Illusionary Wind de? With no luck value, he would not be able to unleash the type of might he wanted to.

    "What to do?" Qin Hai whispered.

    Chen Feng was helpless as well. "No idea."

    "Aren¡¯t you good at creating miracles?"

    Qin Hai nced at him. This guy had even survived the kind of danger they had encountered in the snow tundra back then. Now there were only some barbarians that couldn¡¯t even use energy in front of them, and he was helpless against them?

    Chen Feng coughed. What could he do about it? His luck value had been exhausted when saving Wang Yao previously.

    He shrugged. "I need time."

    "How long?" Qin Hai asked.

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "One hour." One point of luck value would recover per hour.

    Qin Hai: "..."

    He nced at the several hundred barbarians surrounding him and felt like Chen Feng was trying to kid him.

    Chen Feng pondered and corrected himself, "Oh... Thirty minutes will do as well."

    Thirty minutes had passed since he had killed those Gic Union members. Thirty more minutes and he would recover one point of luck value. It wouldn¡¯t allow him to battle these barbarians, but it should be sufficient to provide him an escape route. Mhm... he would be satisfied with even a single escape route now. His requirement was truly not high.

    Qin Hai gnashed his teeth. "Do you think that I am made of iron?" Despite the strength of his flesh, he would still be beaten into a meat patty by these barbarians.

    Chen Feng whispered, "Well, there is indeed a way of solving our predicament... This way will allow us to drag this out for 30 more minutes. After that, we will be able to flee easily. The only thing this requires is your cooperation."

    Qin Hai nodded. "All right." At times like this, he could only cooperate with Chen Feng.

    At this moment...

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The barbarians around them were pressing toward them. Their thundering footsteps were truly terrifying. After inhaling deeply, Chen Feng walked out in a serene manner.

    Qin Hai narrowed his eyes. "Do you truly have a way out of this?" In their current circumstance... Perhaps Chen Feng possessed some unique defensive techniques? It could be clearly seen that the barbarians had noticed Chen Feng walking out as well. Standing in front of them, slowly, he raised his head.

    He pointed at Qin Hai beside him and gave him a thumbs-up. "Him! Powerful!" Next, he pointed at one of the leaders of the barbarians and, full of disdain, gave the leader a thumbs-down. "You! Trash!" Finally, he concluded by raising his middle finger. "Not satisfied? One on one!"

    Shua!

    Instantly, the entire area sunk into silence.

    "..."

    Qin Hai¡¯s expression darkened. He opened his mouth yet had no idea what to say. This method was truly...

 Chapter 377: Itâ€™s Not Easy to Be an Oriole

    Chapter 377: It¡¯s Not Easy to Be an Oriole

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Howl!"

    The barbarian that Chen Feng had pointed at was furious. He couldn¡¯t understand what Chen Feng had said, but the simple gestures of Chen Feng were still something he understood, especially the provocation and the disdain in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    "Howl! Howl!" he howled endlessly. Fiercely, he walked out of the crowd as the barbarians around him erupted into an uproar.

    Qin Hai was ashen faced. "I..." This was the so-called cooperation mentioned by Chen Feng?

    In a satisfied manner, Chen Feng returned to Qin Hai and patted his shoulder. "Remember. Drag this out as best as you can."

    At this, Qin Hai could only smile bitterly.

    "Howl! Howl!" The barbarians cheered without stop. The challenge issued by Chen Feng had indeed angered them. However, they had also behaved precisely as Chen Feng had guessed. Instead of getting involved in this, they were giving Qin Hai the chance to have a one-on-one fight. Some of the barbarians retreated, emptying a space with a circumference of 100 meters for theing fight, quite simr to the legendary wrestling rings. This was evidently something they ced the utmost importance on.

    Qin Hai inhaled deeply. "Come." Since this was the only way, he would not shrink from it. Despite how vicious this barbarian seemed, he had been relying on his flesh when it came to battles ever since he had lost all the energy within his body. Never once had he cked. This was a fight that belonged to him. This was a fight he would absolutely not concede!

    Shua!

    He stepped into the makeshift ring.

    Truth be told, he was quite curious how his physical body would do when pitted against a barbarian, as they were exceptionally good at using their physical bodies. How strong exactly was the present him?

    The barbarian howled and, with a pair of bloodshot eyes, charged at him.

    "Come!" Qin Hai¡¯s gaze was resolute. He was Qin Hai! A dazzling ex-celebrity producer! He had once dreamed of being a magnificent gene producer. All the gene reagents and gene armaments he had learned had simply been his path to bing the greatest gene producer. However, his dream had been shattered. Along with the fall of the Qin family, his dream had been crushed. He had lost everything and started upon a path none had walked before. Even when everyone believed that he would no longer move forth, he had never stopped treading his path! "I... am Qin Hai!"

    Bang!

    His figure charged out. Compared to the tall and sturdy barbarian, he appeared so short and small. With his height of 180 cm and the barbarian¡¯s height of 360 cm, the difference in their sizes was almost threefold. Despite that, the power erupting from Qin Hai¡¯s hands was still not something to be despised.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    They shed without stop.

    "Yi?"

    Chen Feng was somewhat amazed as he witnessed this. His initial n of having Xiao Ying make a move in the dark was halted. Qin Hai was actually evenly matched against this barbarian leader? How was that possible? Chen Feng was astonished.

    One had to know that this particr barbarian was the sturdiest among the barbarians here. From the attitude the other barbarians had toward this barbarian, it was apparent that he was the strongest among them. And it was such a person that was evenly matched in a battle against Qin Hai? This...

    "Qin Hai is already this strong?"

    Chen Feng felt somewhat apprehensive. He did not doubt Qin Hai¡¯s strength. However, he felt like something somewhere was wrong. Based on his evaluation of Qin Hai, when in peak condition, he could unleash the power of an early-tier B ss. As for this barbarian Qin Hai was battling... he was at the level of a high-tier B ss. Currently, they were purely battling with their physical bodies. The gap between Qin Hai and this barbarian was not small. As such, Chen Feng¡¯s initial n had been to let Qin Hai face the barbarian while Xiao Ying assisted him in the dark. Only by doing that would they have been able to drag this out.

    However, surprising him, the two were evenly matched. Why? Chen Feng frowned endlessly. Had Qin Hai erupted in power purely from willpower, like the characters inics always did? As he looked at Qin Hai, that seemed likely. However...

    Chen Feng had an apprehensive feeling. "Something doesn¡¯t feel right." Noiselessly, he checked the time. Three minutes had passed. Qin Hai and the barbarian were still evenly matched, neither of them at a disadvantage.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "Still evenly matched?" Suddenly, Chen Fengmanded, "Xiao Ying, go help Qin Hai."

    Xiu!

    A red sh streaked out of Chen Feng¡¯s feet and traveled forth underground. Without making a noise, it entered the body of that barbarian leader. With that, the attacks of the barbarian leader were somewhat weakened. Hisbat power was thus reduced by 10%. This sudden reduction inbat power ced him at a disadvantage.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    He was forced two steps backward by Qin Hai¡¯s attacks.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Was it just my misconception?" As he was about to summon Xiao Ying back, he noted that, once again, the barbarian¡¯s power had increased and regained the 10% he had lost earlier.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Once again, bothbatants were evenly matched.

    "Yi?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone, seemingly realizing something.

    He ordered Xiao Ying to retreat. "Xiao Ying!" Along with the disappearance of Xiao Ying¡¯s suppression of the barbarian, the barbarian¡¯s power increased and he was able to gain an upper hand over Qin Hai. However, this only persisted for a short few seconds before, once again, the barbarian¡¯s power recovered to how it had been. Both of them were once again evenly matched.

    Chen Feng was rmed at this discovery. "There is indeed a trick somewhere." This barbarian was hiding his strength? However, how would this benefit him? As he looked at the barbarian fighting Qin Hai with bloodshot eyes, Chen Feng rejected the possibility that this was a person with sufficient intelligence to conceal his strength. If so...

    "Xiao Ying," Chen Feng urged inwardly.

    Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! The dim red sh started streaking around underground.

    Thanks to the ability to travel between the illusory and real world unique to Xiao Ying, it was almost unequaled in its ability to scout almost everything within one kilometer, and it transmitted this information back to him: Vicinity, someone is here!

    "Third party..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted as he recalled the group that had tried to trick both the Mysterious Organization and Gic Union when they had first arrived.

    Perhaps...

    Xiu!

    He ordered Xiao Ying to conceal itself near them and transmit the image back to him. Indeed, it was the same guy! Every single time any sort of energy undtion was created, that person was around. He was able to ensure that, regardless of how Qin Hai and the barbarian fought, they were evenly matched. Eventually, both sides would suffer damage. The mantis stalked the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind them. Evidently, behind them was such an oriole as well. After nearly seeding several times earlier, this time, he had once again arrived noiselessly. The treacherousness of this person was apparent.

    Doubt surfaced in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes. "Who is he?" Despite the numerous factions in this world, very few of them were considered top-notch powers. A huge majority of the geniuses were under the various powerful organizations. It was almost impossible for a small organization to possess a genius, even if the genius was born within their organization. Either these geniuses would be taken away by therger organizations or the smaller organizations would directly be swallowed whole by therger organization. There was also the possibility of... the genius being directly erased.

    Not a single major organization would allow the minor organizations below them to have any heaven-defying geniuses. From the way this third party had acted, it was rather likely that they were merely a neutral party. However, a neutral party actually knew about training camps? A mere neutral party was so well practiced in scheming against the Mysterious Organization and Gic Union? Even Chen Feng had been forced to go undercover and remain within the Mysterious Organization to obtain more resources. As a neutral party, how had this guy reached such a height? However...regardless of the background of this person, wouldn¡¯t Chen Feng obtain more information after testing him out?

    Chen Feng grinned. "Hehe."

    Xiu!

    Noiselessly, Xiao Ying hid beside that person.

    Bang!

    "Condense!"

    A dazzling radiance erupted.

    In a sh, that person erected his defenses to defend against the sudden attack against him. However, the true goal of Xiao Ying there was not to attack him. When that person raised his head after his eruption and saw the sight of all the barbarians looking straight toward him in unison, his expression changed greatly.

 Chapter 378: The Weapon of the Third Party

    Chapter 378: The Weapon of the Third Party

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The Profitable Third Party, an ability whose greatest advantage was its hidden nature when used. Only by doing things in the dark could one be the third party who profited over the fight of others. The moment the hidden third party was exposed, this ability lost its advantage.

    "The f*ck." That person was dumbstruck. Evidently, he had no idea how he had been discovered. There was also that red sh that was rather thick and long. What on earth was that?

    Chen Feng raised his eyebrow. "It¡¯s indeed him." Previously, when the Gic Union and the Mysterious Organization had fought, it was this same guy who had suddenly appeared. Was he using some sort of unique ability? This guy seemed to specialize in reaping profit from the fights of others. Presently, the battle between Qin Hai and the barbarian had stopped as well. They were both eyeing that person fiercely. Immediately, over ten barbarians started takingrge strides toward that person.

    That person sighed. "Everything is so unfavorable today!" This was truly weird. No problems whatsoever had ever appeared when he had used this ability in the past. Why were problems cropping out one after another here at this ce? Was he trying to scheme against the wrong opponent? Or was it due to the energy immunity the barbarians possessed? But then, that red radiance...

    He shook his head. "Forget it. It¡¯s better to run for now."

    Shua!

    A misty sphere condensed on his hand and was tossed on the ground.

    Bang!

    Instantly, endless mist gushed out. The dense white mist enveloped the entire tribe instantly. Immediately, the visibility level dropped to only one meter. Someone would not even be able to see a shadow any further than that.

    Shua!

    In a well-practiced manner, that person vanished among the mist.

    As a neutral party trying to survive among all these huge organizations, how was it possible for him to not have made any preparations? He had indeed been discovered, but so what? He nced at everyone indifferently before leaving easily.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "This is a good opportunity. Go." He was overjoyed.

    "We can¡¯t see clearly either," Qin Hai said with a solemn expression. This odd white mist had blocked out all energy. As such, there was no way of for them to even perceive the direction. Forget about the barbarians, even they were unable to perceive anything amid this mist. This, coupled with the drop of visibility...

    Bang!

    The moment Qin Hai turned around, he knocked against the crotch of one of the barbarians. The impact pained him greatly.

    He smiled bitterly. "I can¡¯t see clearly..."

    Chen Feng started pulling Qin Hai. "Here."

    "You can see?" Qin Hai asked in amazement.

    "Nope," Chen Feng said with a smile. "However, I have a way to figure out which direction to go."

    Qin Hai followed Chen Feng. "All right."

    Shua!

    Shua!

    They started traveling through the white mist. Chen Feng with his pair of bright eyes was cautiously avoiding all the barbarians along the way. Despite that, he was still heading in the same direction, seemingly sure of his goal. Underground, a red phantom was streaking around rapidly. From the start till the end, Xiao Ying followed that third party. Despite the rather huge energy consumption when doing this, for the present Xiao Ying, who was filled to the brim with an energy it did not even know how to utilize properly, this was thest thing it needed to worry about.

    Hum¡ª

    One scene after another appeared in Chen Feng¡¯s mind. Faithfully, Xiao Ying was transmitting everything it saw to Chen Feng.

    "Here."

    Bringing Qin Hai along, Chen Feng traveled through the mist. Currently, the third party that was fleeing hadn¡¯t even had the chance to feel the joy of his sessful escape before he saw two familiar figures behind him. Those two had actually caught up to him!

    His expression changed slightly. "The f*ck?" This white mist was something released by the mist bomb unique to him. It was capable of blocking all sensory abilities, vision, sense of hearing, sense of smell, interference abilities, and so on. How had these two caught up to him? He calcted the distance and noted that he was now not far away from the mist¡¯s exit. He clenched his teeth and decided that he could now allow them to follow him out.

    He inhaled deeply. "I need to shake them off."

    Shua!

    With a turn, he changed direction. At the same time, the Chen Feng duo that was behind him changed their direction noiselessly as well. They were seemingly capable of sensing what the third party was doing, as Chen Feng had decided to stick even closer to him.

    One round... two rounds...

    The third party had traveled around the tribe two times now, yet those two were still following him closely. Moreover, they were closing the distance. Now they could nearly see each other with the naked eye alone.

    The third party had an unsightly expression. "The hell?"

    The white mist was already fading, as the active duration was ending. If this continued, he wasn¡¯t sure he would be able to shake them off. However, he was certain that he would fail to escape.

    D*mn it! he cursed inwardly, and he started running speedily. As the white mist faded, finally, he left the tribe of barbarians. Next, he turned around and saw that the two were still following after him closely. Now, without the mist, both sides could see each other clearly. As far as the third party was concerned, if he failed to even shake them off in the mist, out here, it was a no-brainer that he would fail to escape them. Chen Feng and Qin Hai increased their speed, seemingly about to catch up with him at any time.

    Chen Feng was all smiles when they caught up as he looked at this guy in front of him. "It¡¯s indeed you."

    "The one who schemed against us earlier was him as well?" Qin Hai asked in amazement.

    The third partyughed awkwardly. "Hehe." He personally believed that he was a rather powerful person with a huge amount of trump cards. However, these two guys were rather troublesome. Even if he were to ignore the pure physical body strength of Qin Hai, there was also the guy called Wang Feng, the most troublesome of the two, because that guy was B ss. As long as Wang Feng started fighting, the barbarians would be attracted. Wang Feng was simply akin to a lighthouse telling all the enemies where they were. Even sadder was the fact that he couldn¡¯t shake this guy off no matter what. He had yet to find out the reason for his failure to shake this guy off either.

    One more thing he couldn¡¯t understand was the reason these two guys had joined hands despite the obvious fact that one was from Gic Union and the other was from Mysterious Organization.

    Cautiously, he pointed at Qin Hai and Chen Feng. "You both..."

    "Us?" Chen Feng nced at Qin Hai and said indifferently, "Our friendship bloomed in a time of danger. As such, our rtionship transformed from that of enemies to friends."

    The third party: "..."

    Fine, he would ept this reason for now.

    Chen Feng was about to make a move. "Who are you, then?"

    "Bro!" The third party stopped him hurriedly, not knowing whether he shouldugh or cry. "Bro, if there¡¯s a problem, we can talk it out. Please don¡¯t do anything. It hasn¡¯t been easy for us to escape the barbarians. If we get ourselves surrounded once again, it¡¯s going to be troublesome."

    Chen Feng stared at him indifferently. "If so, tell me, which organization are you from?"

    He was truly curious. Who exactly was this mysterious third party that could seemingly appear and vanish at any time? What exactly was the reason he was able to remain hidden yet profit from the fights of others all the time?

    In a somewhat embarrassed manner, the third party scratched his head. "Oh." Seemingly realizing what Chen Feng wanted to ask, he said immediately, "I am a vagabond with no allegiance. The only reason I was able to tail after you guys is the unique ability I have. It¡¯s this ability."

    He show them the data of his ability.

    "The Profitable Third Party?"

    Chen Feng and Qin Hai exchanged nces. The h*ll? Such a treacherous ability existed? No wonder... Finally, they understood the reason for the things they had encountered earlier had happened. What could they say when encountering an ability like this? The only thing they could say was this was indeed a miraculous world where all sorts of abilities existed. This was probably the reason this unique neutral party that was not part of any organization had been able to survive all this while.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng asked, "Oh, yeah, what¡¯s your name?"

    "Me?" That person calmly stated, "I am Kong Bai."

    Chapter 379: Land of Legacy

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Since we have all escaped the barbarians, let¡¯s separate here," Kong Bai said to Chen Feng and Qin Hai. However, as he turned around, his escape route was blocked by them. "..." Kong Bai stopped and said indifferently, "What? Are you guys trying to keep me here? Hehe, greed will lead to death. Do you truly think that I, Kong Bai, am someone so easily bullied?"

    Chen Feng was all smiles as he looked at Kong Bai. "Of course we don¡¯t think that way. I only want to know your goal, your true goal ining here to this untamed region."

    "Naturally, I¡¯m here for the pure energy," Kong Bai replied firmly.

    Toward his reply, Chen Feng merelyughed. "Hehe." Who was Kong Bai trying to trick? If he was truly here for the pure energy, he definitely would have interrupted Chen Feng when Chen Feng was absorbing it. Moreover, that clump of pure energy had already been fully absorbed by Chen Feng. Then why was this guy still here? What was the reason? To be precise, what was his goal?

    Chen Feng raised his hand. "I want to hear the truth." He might not necessarily be able to defeat Kong Bai, but with his present B-ss strength, he would at least be able to pose some sort of deterrence toward this guy. At worst, he could attract all the barbarians over here.

    Shua!

    The B-ss power was about to be unleashed from Chen Feng¡¯s hand.

    Kong Bai: "..."

    He started gnashing his teeth. How did such a shameless person exist? He was obviously not strong. Unfortunately, despite this guy¡¯s shamelessness, he had still recently broken through to B ss, and coincidentally, these damnable barbarians were particrly sensitive toward the energy released by a B ss. Any slight carelessness and they would all be surrounded by the barbarians. Naturally, he did not mind repeating the process of fleeing from the barbarians. However, what if these two were able to once more stick close to him? That was rather likely.

    It seemed like these two guys were now targeting him.

    In an indifferent manner, Chen Feng started his countdown. "Three. Two. One!"

    Kong Bai sighed. "I will tell you."

    Chen Feng prepared to listen."Oh?"

    "The legacy of the barbarians," Kong Bai said helplessly. "The members of this barbarian tribe did not possess such a mysterious ability at birth. In the vicinity of their vige, there exists some ruins left over from ancient barbarians. As long as one trains in the ruins, one might be able to obtain the legacy of the barbarians and obtain that unique ability!"

    Shua!

    The eyes of Chen Feng and Qin Hai shone. Unique ability? Such as that energy immunity? Instantly, the two of them were enticed. Only those who had truly encountered it would have an idea of how powerful an ability that energy immunity was. This was an ability that would enable a genius to challenge those even two sses above him. If they obtained this ability, even when facing an A-ss warrior, they would not have to worry about their lives. This was truly a heaven-defying ability.

    The legacy of the barbarians, huh? Chen Feng¡¯s heart started burning, and he narrowed his eyes. "Do you know the location?"

    Kong Bai nodded. "Naturally."

    "Let¡¯s go together?" Chen Feng suggested indifferently.

    Kong Bai shrugged. "Do I have a say in this?" Since he had decided to tell them the truth, he had naturally been prepared to take them along. Rather than continue wasting time here with them and deal with the prospect of continuously guarding against them, he might as well work together with them. At the very least, the trip would be safer if they worked together. After all, thend of legacy was not a ce just anyone could enter.

    Kong Bai started talking. "Beforeing, I checked the information regarding the ruins. However, I failed to find anything. Regardless of which channel I used for my investigations, I couldn¡¯t find any information regarding that ce. Therefore, this might be a dangerous trip. Even I do not have absolute confidence in surviving it."

    Chen Feng and Qin Hai nodded their heads. "Understood." This was understandable. Even the vige of the tribe of barbarians was ssified as an unknown region. Thend of legacy that was located in an even deeper part of this unknown region was most certainly something nobody knew about. As for the dangers there... hehe. For people like them, danger was something they faced frequently anyway.

    A smile appeared on Kong Bai¡¯s face as he continued, "Good. This is why I enjoy working together with geniuses."

    They exchanged information on their strengths and established a temporary squad.

    ----

    Kong Bai: peak C ss,bat power at middle-tier B ss, possesses numerous trump cards.

    Qin Hai: peak C ss,bat power at early-tier B ss,bat power derived purely from his physical flesh.

    Chen Feng: early-tier B ss,bat power at middle-tier B-ss.

    ----

    These were the strengths of the three as shown on paper. Both Chen Feng and Kong Bai possessedbat power of middle-tier B ss. As for Qin Hai, despite his early tier B-ssbat power, he was the only one among the three of them capable of facing the barbarians. As such, neither of the three were at an advantagepared to the others.

    After establishing the squad, they started heading toward thend of legacy. Based on what Kong Bai had said, thend of legacy was not a ce as worthless as the barbarian¡¯s vige. It was a ce that was guarded by a massive military force at all times. Moreover, even the chief of the barbarians might be guarding there. As for the chief¡¯sbat power, it could very well be above A ss. Only now, when that chief was not around, could their infiltration into the ruins stand a chance. Otherwise, that mysterious super expert could very well insta-kill them with a single nce.

    "Chief..."

    At this, Chen Feng recalled the statue he had seen earlier. Was that the chief? The one who had appeared to rescue Wang Yao from the mysterious expert earlier thanks to his Luck Aura? He was still doubtful as to why an expert would appear at this ce. So that was someone from thend of legacy? If so, that might exin it.

    They traveled along the route drawn by Kong Bai and arrived at the location shortly after. However, just as they reached the entrance of thend of legacy, a loud sound echoed from the sky. Distantly, a faint radiance could be seen shing. That mysterious chief had apparently returned!

    "Not good."

    Instantly, their expressions changed greatly. They did not fear any of the normal barbarians; the chief was the only one they feared... After all, that was an existence surpassing A ss!

    "Perhaps, he has yet to notice us..." Kong Bai whispered.

    A cold snort thundered from the sky above them. "Hmph!" Abruptly, that mysterious person moved. His gaze, filled with killing intent,nded on Chen Feng¡¯s group. "You are all courting death."

    They were all ashen faced. "We have been noticed." Escape? They had no way of escaping. The entirety of the 500-kilometer region around them was the unknown region, the territory of these barbarians. They would most definitely be insta-killed after only fleeing for a couple kilometers. Unless...

    Kong Bai looked toward thend of legacy. Despite the fact that they were still quite a distance away from the legacy... "Inside!"

    "Go!"

    They charged toward thend of legacy.

    At the entrance, the guards braced themselves for a battle. However, facing the Chen Feng trio who was unleashing their full power, rather than being a match to them, these guards might even get killed themselves at any moment.

    ng! ng!

    The entrance toward thend of legacy was forced open.

    An indignant roar thundered from the sky above them. "You dare?!" A huge hand appeared from the sky and charged toward them from tens of kilometers away. The terrifying power from that hand caused the very air around them to start constricting. All their bodies chilled at this sight.

    Faster! Faster! Faster! they roared inwardly. From the entrance of thend of legacy that had been forced open, a white radiance started shining.

    Bang!

    A dazzling radiance erupted from within. At the same time, the attack of the chief finally reached them, sting a huge pit in the ground as itnded. However, the three of them were now nowhere to be seen. In a split second after that, the stone statue arrived and stared toward thend of legacy that was radiating with a dim radiance.

    A long sigh echoed across thend. "In the end, they still entered? Thisnd of legacy that has not received any visitors for several centuries... Is this something good, or will this bring disaster?"

 Chapter 380: Mobile Mini-Ball

    Chapter 380: Mobile Mini-Ball

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    This was a world filled with sandstorms and brutal gales. Three figures were currently struggling among the dust-filled air.

    "This is thend of legacy?" Just as Kong Bai finished this sentence, he could feel a bitter feeling in his mouth. With a spit, a mouthful of sand was spat out.

    Before he could even finish his sentence, Qin Hai¡¯s mouth was stuffed full of sand. "I think so... wu."

    ...

    Chen Feng was smart enough to ignore these two. Was there a need to even ask such an obvious question?

    He activated his Energy Equipment and formed a protective screen in front of them. "Condense!"

    With that, the sand was no longer able to go through the screen, and the roaring sound of wind was somewhat silenced. At this moment, the whole world seemed to have be much quieter.

    "You even have this ability?" Kong Bai eximed in admiration. So the Energy Equipment could also be used this way? He felt that he had still underestimated this guy called Wang Feng.

    "Since you can change the shape, why not create something even more impressive?" Kong Bai asked in excitement.

    Chen Feng nced at him. "I can¡¯t. Due to the limited energy supply, having a protective screen is already as good as it will get."

    "Let me worry about the energy supply." Kong Bai licked his dry lips and continued, "I will supply you with an unlimited amount of energy. Please create something better."

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance started flickering. A faint clump of radiance condensed in Kong Bai¡¯s hand. The beam flickered without stop. Every time it flickered blue, a huge amount of Chen Feng¡¯s energy was replenished.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "Oh?"

    ng! ng!

    Once again, he improved his Energy Equipment. With the energy supply from Kong Bai, he would not hold back. Thereupon, the Energy Equipment that had originally been a mere protective screen transformed into an armored dune buggy.

    Bang!

    The armored dune buggy charged forth fiercely, akin to an iparably vicious and ferocious beast.

    Hum¡ª

    The blue ball of radiance leaped around in an upbeat manner, replenishing the energy consumption.

    Chen Feng was endlessly shocked. "This thing..." Unlimited energy supply? It was rather difficult to form this armored dune buggy. The greatest trouble was the huge amount of energy required for each of itsponents. However, every time his energy was exhausted, this blue ball of radiance replenished his energy. Every few seconds, it would flicker once. With this, Chen Feng did not even need to worry about the energy supply. This was truly a terrifying thing. Perhaps this guy called Kong Bai was not so simple after all.

    "This thing!" Qin Hai eximed in astonishment as he stared at the blue ball jumping around. "Is this the legendary mysterious mini-ball that is capable of moving by itself? But then, I heard that those things are always pink in color..."

    Shua!

    Kong Bai and Chen Feng looked at him in uniform.

    Qin Hai was bewildered. What?

    Chen Feng felt powerless. Good gracious, what had that Xiao Rou been teaching this guy?

    With a darkened face, Kong Bai gave a rough exnation. "This is an extension of my ability."

    Oh?

    Kong Bai had merely mentioned this casually and had not noticed what Chen Feng had noticed. That was because it was very rare for someone to know of all gic abilities in existence. However, different from them, Chen Feng was someone who had swept through the gene bank of the Gene Production Association. Back then, to look for a suitable gene for himself, he had read through all the information in the Gene Production Association¡¯s gene bank.

    Energy... continuous supply... blue ball... Only one ability fit these characteristics.

    ----

    F-ss gic ability: Energy Supply

    Function: The user can activate this ability to release a small energy ball.

    Effect: The energy ball will flicker once per minute and supply 20% of the energy the user possesses to the target. In total, the ball is able to flicker five times.

    Cooldown: 20 hours

    ----

    This was a gic ability obtained after fusing with a certain F-ss mutated beast, and it was capable of enhancing one¡¯s endurance greatly.

    However, even when the small ball of energy was fully exhausted of energy, only 100% of energy would be supplied. It was equivalent to the recovery of onefold of the user¡¯s energy. Moreover, a total of five minutes were required for the ball of energy to fully exhaust the energy supply. Next, there would be a cooldown of 20 hours before this ability could be used again.

    As such, this wasn¡¯t a particrly popr ability, as such a unique support ability would usually not have any sort of potential to be fused with other gic abilities. What was up with this ability of Kong Bai¡¯s, then? Its ability to provide an unlimited supply of energy was simply akin to a bug. This guy... there had to be a problem somewhere! Despite the fact that he had found something problematic, Chen Feng¡¯s expression did not change.

    Chen Feng gasped in admiration. "This ability is not bad. This armored dune buggy has a huge energy consumption. Even if the assembly of this dune buggy is ignored, the energy required to move this dune buggy still poses a great problem when ites to energy supply. With your ability, the energy supply is sufficient for this dune buggy¡¯s consumption."

    Kong Bai was immensely pleased with himself. "That¡¯s natural." With a thundering sound, the armored dune buggy entered the duskynd of legacy. None of them had any idea as to the contents of this ce. None of them knew where exactly that so-callednd of legacy was. The only thing they could do was wander around endlessly.

    One hour... two hours...

    The scenery outside still appeared the same¡ªonly an endless sandstorm could be seen. When the three of them were nearly falling asleep, suddenly, a sound could be heard from afar.

    A beast¡¯s thundering howl traveled to them. "Howl¡ª"

    "Something..."

    They were overjoyed at this discovery. Finally, something different had appeared.

    Qin Hai pointed in a certain direction. "There."

    Kong Bai was filled with anticipation as well. "Go, go, go!"

    What they feared most was being forced to wander this seemingly endlessnd forever. Now that something different had appeared, if they killed that thing... After crossing a distance of several hundred meters, finally, they saw the huge roaring beast. This was a beast 10 meters tall, a tall and sturdy beast that was akin to a small mountain.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were sharp. "It¡¯s here."

    Xiu!

    A huge clump of energy condensed within the armored dune buggy. With the energy supply from the small blue ball, a cannon extended out of the armored dune buggy and aimed straight at the huge beast.

    Bang!

    With a loud sound, the terrifying energy shot out. A dazzling explosion erupted amid the sandstorm. However, when the radiance dissipated, an indignant howl could be heard. A huge figure charged out of the darkness and instantly appeared before them.

    Kong Bai¡¯s expression changed greatly. "The heck? Dodge, fast!" That huge beast charging at them was akin to Mount Tai descending upon them.

    Shua!

    Abruptly, Chen Feng changed their direction and controlled the armored dune buggy as they left speedily. Not even one second after they had darted away, their original position was hit by the beast, creating a huge pit there.

    All three of them were perspiring all over.

    "Damn it!"

    "This huge beast is immune to energy!"

    In a calm manner, Qin Hai stated, "With a height of 10 meters and the unique makeup of its body, its strength is estimated to be at B ss. With an energy immunity reaching 99%, it is an extremely dangerous beast."

    At this, the expressions of Chen Feng and Kong Bai changed slightly. With energy immunity, the attacks of Chen Feng and Kong Bai would be ineffective. If so, they could only...

    Shua!

    Qin Hai waved his hands repeatedly. "I don¡¯t n to die this early."

    What joke was that? The physical flesh of this beast alone was already B ss, much higher than Qin Hai. The present Qin Hai would not even be sufficient to be food that could be stuck between the beast¡¯s teeth. How was he supposed to fight that beast?

    Howl¡ª

    The huge beast attacked violently.

    Chi¡ª

    Chi¡ª

    Under Chen Feng¡¯s control, the armored dune buggy dodged without stop. Influenced by a game called "Crazyracing Kartrider" he had once yed in his previous life, the makeup of this armored dune buggy was rather simple as well. It was purely relying on its energy supply to move. As such, the control of this dune buggy was extremely simple, and it was able to perform all sorts of drifts and stunts.

    Bang!

    Another loud attack wasunched by the beast, yet, in a confident manner, Chen Feng dodged it easily. However, seemingly attracted by the sounds of activity here, faraway, other huge beasts started appearing. If they couldn¡¯t deal with this beast here soon, they would truly fall into a grave situation.

 Chapter 381: Mysterious Demonic Mirror

    Chapter 381: Mysterious Demonic Mirror

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Without experience, a relevant bloodline, or any rted information, they had boldly entered this ce. They did not even know how to receive the legacy and were only able to wander around randomly. This was a ce originally not meant for outsiders like them.

    "Howl!"

    The distant huge beast was already faintly discernible.

    "We¡¯re finished."

    Their expressions changed slightly. Chen Feng¡¯s nerves were already stretched taut. It would seem like they would have to once again start fleeing for their lives.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The armored dune buggy was still streaking forth.

    "Chen Feng!" Kong Bai suddenly shouted, but he paused as he felt something off, and he corrected himself as if nothing had happened. "Erm, Wang Feng..."

    Shua!

    Chen Feng and Qin Hai turned around and looked at him in unison.

    "???"

    Wasn¡¯t it somewhat toote for this guy to pretend he hadn¡¯t recognized Chen Feng now? This guy was truly... So he had already been aware of Chen Feng¡¯s identity long ago? A trace of killing intent shed in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes. Who was the one who had told him? Or perhaps this was a fact Kong Bai had already been aware of previously? Or had it been someone from Gic Union ? Or the Mysterious Organization? Regardless of which party it was that had told him...

    Instantly, Kong Bai raised his hands in defeat. "Bro! This is something I guessed myself! First, the Energy Equipment you used. Based on the recent data, in this year, the only person capable of utilizing the Energy Armor ability in such a manner is you, Chen Feng. Naturally, this is only my guess. Secondly, Qin Hai!"

    Kong Bai speedily finished his exnation, "The both of you do not behave like friends who just recently got to know each other. From the tone, conduct, and rtionship between the both of you, it appears like two people who went through life and death together countless times. Based on the information from the past two years, after Qin Hai¡¯s fall from grace, only one person would still put his life on the line for him and have such a good rtionship with him."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Something he had considered to be a secret was actually so obvious?

    Kong Bai coughed and continued, "Naturally, I am a rather sensitive person as well. When I saw your bromance... ah, no, your amicable rtionship, I was able to guess the truth. I suppose others will not be able to notice this. Moreover, as far as the others are concerned, Chen Feng is already dead. Am I right?"

    Thisnd of legacy was too dangerous. He had no intention of butting heads with them in such a ce. Furthermore, both Chen Feng and Qin Hai were rather formidable. It would be stupid for him to provoke the both of them by his lonesome self. Silently, Chen Feng listened to his exnations. Only after Kong Bai had finished did Chen Feng decide to let him off.

    Bang!

    Another loud bang could be heard. In a well-practiced manner, Chen Feng drifted the dune buggy and dodged the attack. The sense of vignce he had acquired from the danger-filled environments he had experienced for several decades proved helpful to him at times like this. Even without his Luck Aura, he had no fear.

    "Do you have any methods of dealing with this?" Chen Feng asked. Previously, Kong Bai had been trying to say something at the risk of revealing he had figured out Chen Feng¡¯s identity. It was rather probable that he had a way out of this.

    "I have a particr ability..." Kong Bai paused and continued, "This ability is capable of ignoring all defenses, including energy immunity, and dealing a huge damage against an enemy. However, there are certain conditions for the usage of this ability."

    "What ability?"

    Chen Feng and Qin Hai¡¯s interest of was piqued. Such a powerful ability capable of ignoring defense was certainly an ability with a rather harsh activation condition. This was something they knew very well. However, in their present situation, they had no other methods anyway. As such, they could only try this out.

    One word at a time, Kong Bai stated the name of his ability, "Demonic! Heartfelt! Mirror!"

    Chi!

    Chen Feng braked abruptly, almost flinging the three of them out of the car. However, none of them were bothered. With an inconceiving expression, both Chen Feng and Qin Hai stared at Kong Bai. "Demonic Heartfelt Mirror?"

    Kong Bai scratched his head. "Yes."

    Chen Feng and Qin Hai started exchanging nces. Demonic Heartfelt Mirror was a unique legendary ability. Most of the gic abilities in existence were things that had been discovered by the masses and then been registered at the Gic Union. Only with that had those discovered abilities obtained names. As such, most of the time, the function of a gic ability was somewhat rted to the name given to it. Of course, those abilities with names like "A Good Name Is Hard to Find" and "Name Taken" were exceptions.

    In short, most of the time, the name was somewhat rted to the gic ability. As for the Demonic Heartfelt Mirror, it was a very good example of this. With its name alone, in a tyrannical and straightforward manner, the contents of this ability were narrated.

    ----

    Ability: Demonic Heartfelt Mirror

    ss: E

    Function: Summons a demonic mirror to attack the enemy.

    Effect: When attacking an enemy uglier than the user, unique damage will be dealt that ignores all defense. When attacking an enemy better looking than the user, the user will suffer bacsh for the same amount of damage.

    ----

    That¡¯s right, this was an ability only effective against an enemy uglier than the user. When attacking an enemy better looking, the user would be attacked by the demonic mirror instead.

    This was an ability that was once part of the "Top Ten Most Exotic Gic Abilities," upying the seventh ce in the ranking. Due to its exotic effect, back then, it had skyrocketed in poprity. However, due to this being an E-ss ability, its attack wasn¡¯t too strong. As such, the restriction when using this ability was rather huge. On top of that, how was the user supposed to know if the enemy was uglier than the user? Nobody knew the demonic mirror¡¯s sense of beauty. Ultimately, the masses had lost interest in this ability.

    And now Kong Bai was saying he possessed this ability? Even if they were to ignore the question of who was the uglier one between him and the huge beast, even after the attack wasunched, so what? With his C-ss power, even if the ability was capable of ignoring defense, not much damage could be dealt to that huge beast.

    Kong Bai scratched his head. "This version of my ability is rather unique. Oh, let me show you the details directly."

    Shua!

    He transmitted his ability to them. As Chen Feng and Qin Hai saw it, they were instantly rmed.

    ----

    Ability: Demonic Heartfelt Mirror

    ss: E

    Function: Summons a demonic mirror to attack the enemy.

    Effect: When attacking an enemy uglier than the user, a triple amount of unique damage that ignoring all defenses will be dealt. When attacking an enemy better looking than the user, the user will suffer bacsh for the same amount of damage.

    Heartfelt Confession: Before using the ability, one may consult the demonic mirror.

    ----

    Triple the unique damage! Capable of consulting the demonic mirror before using! The eyes of Chen Feng and Qin Hai widened. This was the perfect form of this ability.

    With "Heartfelt Confession," the disadvantage of using this ability no longer existed. One only needed to select the target properly and one could absolutely unleash a ime formidable eruption. Using this ability would be feasible!

    Chen Feng sunk into a solemn mood. "This guy¡¯s ability..." Suddenly, he noticed something. All the abilities of Kong Bai were mutated versions. All his abilities had unique effects as well, and extremely heaven-defying ones at that! That miniature energy ball had been mutated from five times per day into an unlimited energy supply. The Heartfelt Demonic Mirror had beenpletely transformed in an explosive way as well. This was extremely simr to the mutated abilities Chen Feng produced for himself. No, these abilities of Kong Bai¡¯s had in fact undergone an even stronger mutation than Chen Feng¡¯s abilities.

    That was because the scope of mutation undergone by Chen Feng¡¯s abilities were still within reason. As for Kong Bai, his abilities had all undergone mutations that transformed the abilities into something like bugs in a code. If Chen Feng¡¯s guess was correct, the other abilities of Kong Bai were quite possibility mutated abilities as well. Even among C-ss warriors, this guy¡¯s truebat power was extremely heaven defying. This was an extremely dangerous person.

    Naturally, this was not the time for him to be bothered about this. Silently, he buried this in the depths of his heart and continued controlling his buggy to dodge the huge beast¡¯s attacks in a careful manner. As for Qin Hai, he was in charge of observing the trajectory of the huge beast¡¯s movement. By the side, Kong Bai was activating his Demonic Heartfelt Mirror.

    Hum¡ª

    A shiny demonic mirror appeared midair and hovered there. With a solemn expression, Kong Bai faced the demonic mirror and asked seriously, "Dear demonic mirror, am I better looking than that huge ugly beast there?"

    Ka!

    At his question, the mirror shattered.

    "???" Shattered? All three of them were dumbfounded. What was going on?

    "Shattering is one of the effects?" Chen Feng asked in an inconceiving manner.

    Kong Bai dazedly muttered, "...If the answer is no, naturally, there is no need to attack. As such, the demonic mirror will shatter by itself."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Qin Hai: "..."

    They nced at the dazed Kong Bai before looking at the huge roaring beast in the distance. Instantly, they were speechless. In short, as far as the demonic mirror was concerned, Kong Bai was uglier than that huge beast?

    Mhm... this was a feeling one couldn¡¯t describe with words. What should they do now, then? Chen Feng and Qin Hai exchanged nces. They could do nothing but smile bitterly. Who could have guessed that the n to use this super-explosive ability would fail before the ability had even been used? This demonic mirror was truly too excessive! In conclusion, if you were an ugly person, this ability was as good as nonexistent?

    Qin Hai startedforting Kong Bai. "It is possible that this huge beast is considered handsome among its species."

    After all, life-forms of different species couldn¡¯t objectivelypare their level of handsomeness with another species. If theparison was made among the same species, it was a much easier feat. As such, Qin Hai guessed that this might be the reason.

    "Yes, that¡¯s possible," Chen Feng agreed.

    Only at this did Kong Bai¡¯splexion improve. It was still filled with a grudge, though.

    This damnable demonic mirror. One day, I will teach it a lesson!

    Chen Feng stared ahead. "Let¡¯s think of some other methods. If we have the map of thend of legacy, we might be able to¡ª"

    Kong Bai interrupted Chen Feng and gnashed his teeth as he said, "No. Just use the demonic mirror!"

    "Ah?"

    Qin Hai was doubtful. "But hasn¡¯t the demonic mirror..."

    Kong Fai was feeling indignant. "I will summon it again. The demonic mirror is not something only the owner can use anyway. I can let others use it as well. I have never handed it to anyone else all this while just to keep this a secret."

    Hum¡ª

    Once again, Kong Bai summoned the demonic mirror.

    He controlled the demonic mirror and ced it in front of Qin Hai. "Qin Hai, you try."

    Qin Hai shrugged. "I don¡¯t have any energy in my body."

    Kong Bai exined, "No energy usage is required. The demonic mirror will only use my energy."

    Qin Hai: "..."

    He raised his head and looked at the serious expression of Kong Bai before sighing and saying, "Dear demonic mirror, am I better looking than that huge ugly beast?"

    Shua!

    After he asked, nothing happened. Kong Bai was filled with anticipation. But then, even he himself had no idea what exactly it was that he was anticipating. Anticipating Qin Hai¡¯s failure? If so, they might very well die here. Without killing that beast, all of them might die here. However, if Qin Hai seeded, did it not signify that Qin Hai was better looking than him?

    What should he be anticipating, then? He had no idea as well.

    Hum¡ª

    Suddenly, the demonic mirror started shining.

    Xiu!

    A terrifying beam of light shot out, piercing through the huge beast instantly.

    Bang!

    The huge beast copsed loudly. Dead!

    Qin Hai was overjoyed. "Sess!" It had indeed worked! Treble unique damage! This ability of Kong Bai¡¯s was truly terrifyingly powerful!

    "I..."

    Kong Bai appeared to be at a loss. He looked at Qin Hai¡¯s face. He felt that this guy wasn¡¯t particrly better looking than him. If even Qin Hai could use the demonic mirror, how had he failed? Oh, right, perhaps, he was right below the standard? For example, Qin Hai¡¯s attractiveness rating was 91 and the huge beast¡¯s attractiveness rating was 90. Kong Bai would have an attractiveness rating of 89.

    Mhm... that must be it!

    "Be careful. That distant huge beast ising over as well," Chen Feng stated with a solemn expression. "Qin Hai, prepare yourself."

    "All right."

    Qin Hai was about to ask the question, but suddenly Kong Bai interrupted, "Wait. Chen Feng, you try this time."

    Chen Feng was bewildered. "Me?" He was still a person who knew himself. What kind of a person was Qin Hai? He was the favored son of the heavens. Back then, he had been a celebrity producer. Regardless of their body shape, looks, or charm, Qin Hai was far superior to him. How could he hope topete with such a person?

    It was still fine for him topete when he had a huge amount of luck value. He would be able to push it with his luck value to the point that Kong Bai started doubting life itself. However, it had been truly difficult for his luck value to finally recover bit by bit. Hence, he was definitely not willing to waste it on something like this.

    Chen Fengughed bitterly. "There¡¯s no need right?"

    Kong Bai insisted. "Come, try it."

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes helplessly. "Fine." This Kong Bai guy was obviously unhappy that he had been scorned by the demonic mirror. Now he could only calm himself if Chen Feng were to receive the same amount of scorn from the demonic mirror. Since Kong Bai was the controller of the demonic mirror, Chen Feng could only do as he wished.

    Hum¡ª

    The shiny demonic mirror hovered before Chen Feng. He nced at it and, in a casual manner, asked, "Dear demonic mirror, am I better looking than that huge beast?"

    Hum¡ª

    A radiance shed out of the demonic mirror.

    Bang!

    A beam of light pierced through the neer beast.

    Bang!

    The huge beast copsed loudly, dead!

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Qin Hai: "..."

    Qin Hai was dumbstruck with his mouth struck agape.

    This, this, this... In short, as far as the demonic mirror is concerned, I am even uglier than Chen Feng?

    He looked at that ordinary and mediocre face of Chen Feng¡¯s, that face that was only slightly above average. How was that face better looking than his handsome and carefree bearing? This was too excessive!

    Kong Bai was bursting with rage. The hell? This was obviously his own ability. Why did it work better when used by others? Oh right, perhaps, this was because these two beasts had different attractiveness ratings? The first beast was obviously an extremely handsome beast! As for this one... it perhaps rated extremely low attractivenesswise. This was why Chen Feng¡¯s usage of the demonic mirror was sessful. Mhm, that had to be the case.

    Kong Baiforted himself without stop.

    Hum¡ª

    He summoned the demonic mirror directly and asked, "Dear demonic mirror, am I better looking than Chen Feng?"

    Hum¡ª

    The demonic mirror started shining.

    "Haha, it appeared!"

    Kong Bai was overjoyed. Indeed, despite him being somewhatcking in terms of handsomenesspared to Qin Hai, he was still much better looking than Chen Feng. However, surprising him, a row of words was what appeared on the demonic mirror this time.

    Shua!

    Gradually, the words became distinct.

    "Do you not have an idea yourself how you look?"

    Next.

    Ka!

    The demonic mirror shattered directly.

    Qin Hai: "..."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    "???"

    Kong Bai was stupefied.

    This is too excessive! You can¡¯t be like this! You are too much of a bully! It¡¯s fine to be worse offpared to Qin Hai, but I¡¯m even worse than Chen Feng? I am the main character here!

    Kong Bai was filled with a grudge.

    Chen Feng coughed and continued driving the armored buggy ahead. Qin Hai continued helping him observe the surroundings. As for Kong Bai, he was sitting silently in the corner of the car, muttering about something. When Qin Hai identally overheard him, he seemed to hear something like "I am ugly, I am ugly, I am ugly..."

    He exchanged nces with Chen Feng and could only mourn Kong Bai inwardly. Was there a need for this? How pitiful.

    Bang!

    The armored car streaked forth amidst the darkness. asionally, huge beasts would appear. Whenever this happened, Qin Hai would persuade Kong Bai to summon the demonic mirror. As time passed, they seemed to have entered the depths of thend of legacy. Far away, among the dusky region, finally, something else could be faintly discerned.

 Chapter 383: Racing

    Chapter 383: Racing

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "We¡¯re here."

    They became spirited. Even Kong Bai¡¯s expression recovered somewhat. A tint of color reappeared on that face of his that had been filled with despair. After traveling so far, finally, a trace of hope had appeared. Far away, the vague scene gradually became distinct. A faint milky yellow radiance could be seen, a radiance that gave off an iparably cozy feeling, akin to the only lighthouse of thisnd, causing them to subconsciously start going that way.

    Kong Bai was full of anticipation. "Is this the ce that contains the legacy?"

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The armored car approached that ce without stop. The distant buildings grew more and more distinct and the illusory-looking scenery became more and more real as they approached. The initial miniature yellow dot from far away transformed into numerous huge towers that gave off an imposing feeling. The dangers they had feared appearing had not appeared. This was actually the genuinend of legacy! Their journeyden with dangers had finally brought them here to this ce. However, just as they neared, with a single drift, Chen Feng sped away.

    Kong Bai was confused. "What are you doing?"

    Chen Feng pointed at the center of thend of legacy. "Look." As they looked over, they sunk into a solemn mood. Below those towers, some tall and sturdy-looking figures could be seen moving about. There were actually people residing here! Those were living beings!

    Instantly, Kong Bai understood. "Could it be... Is this the actualnd of adulthood of the barbarians?"

    The so-callednd of adulthood referred to the ce where the grown barbarians would be baptized and receive the legacy before transforming from an ordinary person into a genuine barbarian.

    Chen Feng and Qin Hai exchanged nces. "As such... the so-called legacy is energy immunity?"

    "That¡¯s quite possible."

    Kong Bai¡¯s gaze was burning. They were filled with all sorts of anticipation toward thend of legacy. The legacy might be the extraordinary strength the barbarians possessed, or perhaps the extraordinary vitality the barbarians possessed. However, what they wanted the most was energy immunity! If this was the ce to obtain the legacy, did this not mean that anyone could receive the legacy? They were tempted. Just imagine the scene where, in the future, when they werebating someone with simr strength, if one of them possessed an enemy immunity of 90%...

    Wouldn¡¯t the other guy feel like cursing them with an MMP? 1

    "If we enter..."

    They exchanged nces and concluded that this might work. Thisnd of legacy was obviously different from the world outside. They had been here for so long yet this ce hadn¡¯t had any reaction whatsoever toward them. It was quite possible that they had no way of contacting the outside world. If so...

    Kong Bai¡¯s eyes shone. "Let¡¯s pretend to be barbarians and enter."

    Qin Haiughed bitterly. "That¡¯s not possible." Even if the barbarians here couldn¡¯t contact the outside world, the three of them were still humans, apletely different race than these barbarians. How could they hide this fact? This was also why Chen Feng had shifted the direction of the armored buggy abruptly earlier. If they went nearer, they would definitely be discovered.

    They could still easily deal with the issue of height... after all, there were a lot of child barbarians here with differing heights. However, the aura and appearance of a barbarian...

    Qin Hai spoke forthrightly. "These barbarians are too ugly. If we refer to the standards of the demonic mirror, it would be fine for you to sneak in as part of these barbarians. However, I don¡¯t think it would work for me and Chen Feng."

    Kong Bai: "..."

    The hell, can you stop mentioning this?

    Qin Hai shrugged. "I¡¯m kidding. Looks are not too big a problem. The main issue is still our aura..."

    Chen Feng shut his eyes. "Aura..."

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Luck Aura activated silently. During the past few hours, he had regenerated several points of luck value. It was still insufficient for battle, but it should be able to solve such a simple issue rtively easily.

    "Then... among the abilities of the Myriad Illusions, which will be most fitting for this?"

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Countless information flipped past Chen Feng¡¯s mind. Soon, one point of luck value was consumed and one particr set of information was fixed in his mind. A simple and practical ability had appeared in his mind.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "You, then." This was a minor ability capable of transforming one¡¯s aura. When used together with the Energy Equipment, an item capable of transforming one¡¯s aura might be created. Chen Feng pondered this and decided that it was feasible. At the very least, the rmendations of Luck Aura had never let him down before.

    "Let me handle the transformation of our auras." Chen Feng inhaled and continued, "However, I need someone else to drive this car while I¡¯m busy."

    Chen Feng pointed at the swirling radiance surrounding thend of legacy. If Chen Feng stopped here to use his ability, their foreign aura would be stopping here for too long. It would most certainly attract the attention of the barbarians. As such, despite the rather good protection screen they had around them, they had to be moving continuously to dilute their aura that lingered in the air.

    Kong Bai curled his lips. "This is not a problem. I am very familiar with driving. Back then, at Akina Pass 2 ..."

    In a well practiced manner, Kong Bai changed seats with Chen Feng and sat in the driver¡¯s seat. Unfortunately for him, before he could even finish bragging, he stared at the steering wheel with a dumbstruck expression.

    "???" Kong Bai was stupefied. "What sort of car is this?"

    Chen Feng shrugged. "A dune buggy. A normal car is too troublesome to control. We are, after all, maintaining the activation of this car using an energy supply. As such, a simplified car such as a buggy will do. In any case, we only need something that can sprint forward by exhausting energy."

    "I know that..." Kong Bai rubbed his aching head and asked, "What are these?"

    Chen Feng sighed. "Buttons." He doesn¡¯t even know such a simple control system, yet he still dares to brag about being a veteran driver? Where¡¯s his face? Chen Feng decided to teach Kong Bai. "Look. You should be familiar with this steering wheel¡¯s function, right? Yes, you can either turn it left or right to change the direction. It¡¯s very simple. As for this ¡¯shift¡¯ button, it¡¯s used when you want to drift¡ª" He coughed, corrected himself, and continued on as if nothing had happened: "You have to step here to brake. That is used for sprinting."

    Qin Hai: "..."

    Kong Bai: "..."

    Although anything assembled using the Energy Equipment would be simplified, this amount of simplification was rather excessive, right? Stepping on it? The speechless Kong Bai nced at the brake pedal down there. No matter how he looked at it, it looked like an erged shift button. Fortunately, despite the fact that this car had been simplified to the extent that it was akin to a go-kart, as an experienced driver, Kong Bai did not need long to grasp the controls. Soon, he started driving them around.

    Now Chen Feng could finally start using his ability. It would be quite simple for him to produce something to disguise their auras. With the unlimited energy supply here and one point of his luck value, the probability of his Myriad Illusions would be revised such that the correct ability would emerge. Next, he could fuse this minor ability with his Energy Equipment. Using a small amount of luck value as the base and catalyst, what would be the final result? Chen Feng was filled with anticipation.

    Hum¡ª

    Light started swirling before his eyes. Energy was endlessly supplied to his ability, and the faint aura flickered without stop. Fortunately, Kong Bai¡¯s driving skills were rather dependable. As such, the aura that was leaked when the ability was used was spread all over the air rather than umted at a specific spot. As such, the attention of the barbarians wasn¡¯t attracted. Soon, after 10 minutes, Chen Feng finished his production.

    "Done."

    He looked at the clump in front of him with anticipation.

    Hum¡ª

    As the required energy had been fully supplied, three "Unique Disguise Energy Equipment" were created. Instantly, the radiance and aura filling the air disappeared.

    Shua!

    Before them, three crude ck clumps appeared.

    Qin Hai took one of them curiously. "It¡¯s this thing?"

    Shua!

    Instantly, that ck clump cracked. As he saw what was contained in it, Qin Hai¡¯s expression immediately changed.

 Chapter 384: Provoke!

    Chapter 384: Provoke!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Qin Hai was stupefied. "The f*ck?"

    "What reaction is this?" Kong Bai nced over curiously, and his face darkened immediately. "The f*ck?"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Silently, he picked up that ck clump.

    Shua!

    As the ck dispersed, Chen Feng had the same reaction as them as well. This, this, this... why the h*ll was this the final result?

    Qin Hai sighed. "Your taste is getting weirder."

    Kong Bai sighed deeply as well. "Your feelings for each other must be rather strong."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    How could he have known that this would be the final product of his ability?

    Chen Feng smiled forcefully and rubbed his head. "It¡¯s not that bad, right? Mhm... at the very least, in a lot of situations, this thing can be used as a specialized disguise item." Chen Feng shrugged. "Why aren¡¯t you thinking of our current situation? At a ce like this, can anything good be produced?"

    Qin Hai and Kong Bai exchanged nces and could only nod helplessly.

    Shua!

    The car stopped at the outer fringe. Next, the three exchanged nces before taking out the three unknown ck items. At that moment, an expression that couldn¡¯t be exined with words appeared on their faces. With a pull, the ck item was easily stretched open, giving off an extremely silky-smooth feeling...

    That¡¯s right, the unique disguise item Chen Feng produced by his Energy Equipment was the perfect robber¡¯s mask as detailed in the legends: pantyhose! This was a unique pantyhose capable of disguising one¡¯s aura, a ckcy pantyhose.

    Qin Hai clenched his teeth. "Let me try it."

    He stretched the pantyhose, no, to be precise, he stretched the unique disguise Energy Equipment, showcasing its extreme flexibility and smoothness. Next, he put it on, covering his whole body with it. Unexpectedly, it actually fit his whole body. Subsequently, an astonishing thing happened. Just as this unique disguise Energy Equipment touched his skin, noiselessly, his skin transformed into the color of the barbarians. His skin color and aura transformed. The disguise was sessful!

    Even more astonishing was the fact that even the portion covering his head readjusted seamlessly after wearing it. He was still able to breathe normally, and when one looked at him, he was no different than a normal barbarian.

    As for the pantyhose? No, to be precise, the unique disguise Energy Equipment, it was nowhere to be seen now. In a wless manner, it had fused with Qin Hai¡¯s skin.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "Sess!" As long as they could disguise themselves sessfully, this small sacrifice of having to wear pantyhose was nothing.

    "He actually has to wear the pantyhose over his entire body..." Kong Bai did not know whether tough or cry as he looked at Chen Feng. "Don¡¯t you feel like this thing here looks more like a condom?"

    Chen Feng shook his head and stated in a collected manner, "No. Which condom would be used to fill a single individual? Normally, a condom will be filled with hundreds of millions of individuals 1 , don¡¯t you know that?"

    Qin Hai¡¯s expression darkened: "..."

    These two!

    "You two, put them on as well," Qin Hai snapped, and he tossed the other two ck clumps at their faces.

    "Fine."

    Chen Feng and Kong Bai looked at each other mournfully before clenching their teeth and putting on the unique disguise Energy Equipment. Next, they transformed sessfully. And thus, three barbarians appeared. Despite their rather low heights, at the very least, they appeared the same as other barbarians.

    They stayed nearby, observed thend of legacy for an hour, and noticed that there were peopleing in and out without stop. Some of them were even wearing hats. As long as they had the correct aura about them, even if one wore a gown, none of the barbarians would be bothered. The majority of the barbarians here were still underage or those waiting for the adulthood ritual, so the barbarians stationed here might not necessarily know everyone here. Moreover, based on the height of Chen Feng¡¯s group of three, they would be assuming the identity of child barbarians anyway.

    Even if there were only several hundred inhabitants here, it would still be normal for some of them to not know some of the children here.

    "Let¡¯s go."

    They inhaled deeply and followed behind a certain group of barbarians that were returning home. Noiselessly, they entered thend of legacy. Their bodies stiffened as they braced for a battle at any moment.

    Shua!

    Under the watch of several attentive gazes, they entered thend of legacy smoothly.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. "We have entered!"

    Qin Hai¡¯s eyes shone. "No signs of rm."

    Kong Bai felt relieved. "We were not found out."

    Only now did the three of them breathe out in relief. In a group, they walked toward the side of a building. In truth, none of the barbarians were bothered with these three "kids" that had just returned. Distantly, three huge towers could be seen with flickering lights around them.

    "Howl¡ª"

    "Howl¡ª"

    Nearby, a group of barbarians raised their hands and started waving in excitement. Chen Feng¡¯s group went over to take a look and noticed that, in the middle of that group of barbarians, two sturdy-looking barbarians were fighting. This was a rather bloody scene.

    Wrestling?

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. It seemed like this was a rather poprbat method between the barbarians.

    Chen Feng frowned. "Let¡¯s go." He nced at Qin Hai and Kong Bai and shook his head slightly, hinting them to leave. They were here to receive the legacy, not watch a show.

    "Mhm."

    Qin Hai and Kong Bai signaled each other, but just as they were prepared to leave, beyond their expectations, suddenly, a barbarian in the makeshift ring howled and pointed at Chen Feng before starting to viciously beat his own chest.

    The barbarian howled without stop. "Howl!" Howl!"

    Oh? Chen Feng was dumbstruck. What was going on?

    Oh...

    Qin Hai nced at the barbarian and recalled Chen Feng¡¯s previous expression. Silently, he transmitted his voice to Chen Feng. "I think he¡¯s trying to say that since you dare to look down on him, he hereby challenges you to a match."

    Chen Feng: "???"

    As he looked at the serious expression on that barbarian¡¯s face, he had a "what the f*ck" expression on his face.

    Wait... in other words, for these barbarians, those "rituals" of exchanging dialogue like "What are you looking at?" and "So what if I¡¯m looking at you?" and "Try looking at me one more time!" before fighting were directly skipped¡ªthey would instead directly start a fight? Just because Chen Feng had gazed at him once while shaking his head, this barbarian viewed that as a challenge? This... what brutal world was this?

    On top of that, Chen Feng had noticed that the issue of his identity he had been worried about was apparently not a problem at all. These barbarians did not seem like they cared at all. What should he do now, then? Chen Feng smiled bitterly. Fighting that barbarian? If using energy was an option, Chen Feng could beat this guy up at any time. Even if these barbarians were immune to energy, he could still use some other methods to trap them and gain the upper hand before slowly dealing with the barbarian.

    Unfortunately, here, he could not use his energy at all. The moment he used it, he would most definitely die. Regardless of how stupid these barbarians were, regardless of how low their sense of vignce was, the moment they sensed the threat posed by energy, they would figure out that Chen Feng¡¯s group were not simply locals. As such, Chen Feng could only use his physical body to fight this barbarian.

    This won¡¯t do.

    Chen Feng smiled forcefully. It would seem like he would not be able to avoid getting beaten up. In a situation where he was not allowed to use his energy, he had no confidence that he would be a match for a barbarian. As his thoughts reached this point, he walked forward.

    Suddenly, Qin Hai pulled Chen Feng back. Wait. Next, he pointed at that barbarian and looked at him with a pair of eyes filled with disdain.

    Challenge! Qin Hai was challenging that barbarian!

    "Howl¡ª"

    The group of barbarians around them started roaring in excitement.

    However, before Chen Feng could even feel any sort of relief, he saw the barbarian kneel down and kowtow to Qin Hai, admitting his inferiority! That¡¯s right, the barbarian had chosen to directly kowtow to Qin Hai, admitting defeat! Evidently, the barbarian had sensed that Qin Hai was unordinary.

    "Jiliw howl howl¡ª"

    The barbarian started talking to the other barbarians beside him, saying how he would rather submit than fight Qin Hai. Next, he continued staring at Chen Feng, evidently wanting to battle Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Now he had two choices remaining: be beaten up or kneel down and submit.

    He sighed inwardly. I suppose I can¡¯t avoid getting beaten up, then.

    Shua!

    In a serene manner, he walked out. To reach his present height, he had suffered all sorts of injuries. Getting beaten up wouldn¡¯t be much for him. He was not willing to waste his luck value for something like this. Surprisingly, though, suddenly, Kong Bai walked out.

    Kong Bai said some simple words. "You! Ugly! Howl!" Beyond everyone¡¯s expectations, the barbarian that had been forced to kowtow to Qin Hai was instantly infuriated the moment the word "ugly" came out of Kong Bai¡¯s mouth.

    "Howl¡ª"

    "Howl¡ª"

    The furious barbarian pointed at Kong Bai. Evidently, he felt extremely insulted when Kong Bai was the one calling him ugly.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Qin Hai: "..."

    They had never expected that this cmity, which had befallen Chen Feng in such an absurd manner, would proceed in such an absurd manner as well. Thisnd of legacy was truly...

    As for Kong Bai, he had a "what the f*ck" expression on his face and was feeling extremely furious.

    You are angry? I am even angrier, all right? I can forget losing to Chen Feng and Qin Hai in terms of handsomeness, but what do you, a barbarian, think you are? God d*mn you, you dare to look down on me?

    Taking wide strides, Kong Bai stepped into the makeshift ring.

    "Oh." Chen Feng paused, then continued, "Can he win without using energy?"

    Qin Hai smiled forcefully. "I have no idea." Kong Bai was indeed a powerful person¡ªthere was no doubt about that¡ªbut his strength when not using any energy was unknown.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng said, "Since he dares to enter the ring, I suppose there is a reason for his confidence."

    Qin Hai nodded slightly. "Mhm." Kong Bai was a person with an unknown identity and strength. Every single time he had showcased his ability, he had been able to shock them. Regardless of the unlimited energy supply or his demonic mirror... both were simrly shocking. This was a person with astonishingly scary abilities. Even in their present situation, where the three of them had grouped together, none of them dared to look down on this person.

    If he had truly survived all this while with an identity as a neutral party, that was an extremely terrifying feat. Would such a person have no trump cards? Their present question was what other abilities this guy had. The demonic mirror, unlimited energy supply, and The Profitable Third Party, all three abilities this guy had disyed so far were bizarre, out-of-the-ordinary abilities. How many other abilities did this guy have?

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "His condition seems somewhat off." If Kong Bai killed this barbarian for real, things would be troublesome.

    "He should know when to stop, right?" Qin Hai stated uncertainly. Next, he looked at the furious and roaring Kong Bai and could only smile forcefully. "If he is really nning to kill, I will stop him forcefully."

    Chen Feng nodded slightly. "Mhm." They focused on the ring as Qin Hai braced himself for the battle and Kong Bai arrived in the ring.

    "Howl¡ª"

    With an indignant howl, bothbatants shed.

    Battle, begun!

    Bang!

    A huge sound erupted.

    Qin Hai¡¯s heart leaped. "Something happened!" Abruptly, he charged out. However, when he saw clearly what had happened, he momentarily nked.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    The berserk barbarian was attacking without stop, while the Kong Bai that had charged into the ring furiously was being smashed all over the ce.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Instantly, Kong Bai was swollen all over.

    This...

    Qin Hai was stupefied.

    Earlier, he had been bracing for battle, as he had feared that Kong Bai would kill the barbarian. Unexpectedly, this guy had entered the ring just to get himself beaten up. Aftering to himself, Qin Hai walked into the ring and dragged Kong Bai out.

    Qin Hai did not know whether tough or cry. "If you can¡¯t beat him, why did you enter?"

    Kong Bai sighed. "In a moment of anger, I entered. Godd*mnit, these barbarians are actually so strong."

    Qin Hai: "..."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    They started doubting the evaluation they had made of this guy. With such a level of intelligence, how had this guy survived until now? Chen Feng was stupefied as well. But then, with this spectacle by Kong Bai, Chen Feng could now see clearly that thisnd of legacy was not as strictly guarded as they had believed. This was reasonable, though. With the existence of that terrifying stone statue, this was probably a ce no outsiders had entered before. As such, who would suspect that the Chen Feng trio were actually outsiders?

    "Let¡¯s go."

    They left. As they walked past the huge tower, the scene of the entirend of legacy could be clearly seen. Layers of radiance flickered without stop as a huge stone city entered their sight.

    Their hearts jolted. A city? Here, in the inner region of thend of legacy?

    Shua!

    Shua!

    Numerous barbarians could be seen traveling in and out of the city.

    Howl¡ª

    A vague howl could be heard.

    They raised their heads and, to their astonishment, a huge figure could be seen lingering above the city. That was a huge red dragon!

    This ce...

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed slightly. These barbarians had actually created a civilization unique to them. The three of them exchanged nces, shock apparent in their eyes. Here at this ce, within the unknown region, aplete civilization had been born? If that was the case... humanity was truly in deep trouble!

    On this that was not fully explored, humanity had been exploring unknown regions with great effort. Using all sorts of methods, they tried to obtain the resources contained within these unknown regions. The Gic Union was doing their explorations in the open, whereas the Mysterious Organization was doing their own explorations from the opposite side of the. Even with this, not a lot of other races had been discovered so far. This time, aplete civilization was before their eyes.

    Hum¡ª

    The defensive barrier around the city was flickering without stop. The world within the barrier and the world outside the barrier appeared like two different worlds. Different from the towering buildings, steel, and other signs of technological advancement, this city was instead filled with totems and numerous mysterious life forms. This was a civilization that revolved around "mysterious powers." This was a civilization of barbarians!

    Qin Hai smiled bitterly. "In other words, those barbarians we met out there were merely the illiterate peasants, the outcasts of this civilization?" Within this city, numerous odd-looking characters could be seen. They could not read these characters, but it was rather obvious that these characters represented thenguage of these barbarians. Possessing written characters was one of the characteristics of aplete civilization.

    Kong Bai inhaled a mouthful of cold air. "Things are going to get very troublesome now."

    It wasmon knowledge that the moment a foreign civilization was discovered, a huge war would erupt between two different civilizations. When that time came, a lot of lives would be lost. Even if humanity possessed genes and technology... as they saw the huge dragon circling in the air, they concluded that the final victor of such a war was not a sure fact.

    "What should we do?" Qin Hai asked cautiously.

    Kong Bai looked toward the city. "Try going in. Since the legacy is located within this city, we might as well go in and obtain some understanding of this civilization. The moment a war begins... it might prove helpful. We are, after all, still humans," Kong Bai finished with a solemn expression.

    "Mhm," Qin Hai agreed.

    As for Chen Feng, he merely stared at the city silently, looking at the barbarians that were covered in dust entering and exiting and looking at the defensive barrier around the city opening and closing akin to a ripple.

    Shua!

    Suddenly, Chen Feng raised his head and lightly pressed on the defensive barrier. Next, a gush of energy spread out of his hand.

    Kong Bai and Qin Hai were shocked. "What are you doing?" What was Chen Feng doing? Using his energy at the base of the barbarians? Had he gone crazy? However, before they could even say anything, they saw the defensive barrier before Chen Feng split apart noiselessly, a bizarre radiance lingering around the opening.

    Shua!

    Without a noise, the barrier opened. Through the opening, the true appearance of the city became distinct.

    Chen Feng sighed and shut his eyes. "Indeed..."

    What?

    Kong Bai and Qin Hai looked over curiously and their hearts instantly jolted furiously. Through the opening, they saw the true appearance of this city. This was actually the remains of a city! This was indeed a civilization of barbarians. However, this was only a civilization that used to exist.

    Chapter 386: A Chance Encounter

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The huge dragon was no longer there. The city was nowhere to be seen. Chen Feng¡¯s group started wandering around the ruins.

    So... this is actually the ruins of the barbarians!

    As they wandered, numerous barbarians could be seen digging around the ruins. When they found some bs with characters on them or some other never-before-seen items, they would return to their vige happily. Based on their understanding, they might be able to trade these things for some good things from the guards of the ruins.

    Hu!

    A chilly breeze drifted past. Despite their strength, Chen Feng¡¯s group still felt cold from this breeze. This was an extremely cold ce.

    Ka! Ka!

    Nearby, a barbarian was carefully taking out the remains of a huge skeleton from the ground. Next, he swung the skeleton onto his shoulder before walking out of the ruins. From his expression, he had seemingly found something great. In the ground, numerous deep gorges could be seen. A huge battle had apparently happened here in the past. Chen Feng¡¯s group exchanged nces with each other as they felt a chill creeping into their bodies.

    This civilization of the barbarians had already been destroyed. Everything they had deduced previously was different from what they saw here. These barbarians here were merely the descendants of the barbarians back then, and they were all looking for traces of their ancient ancestors. As they figured this out, they noted that the threat these barbarians posed to humanity was neglectable. However, a new problem had cropped up. Who was the one who had destroyed the barbarian civilization?

    The scene they had seen outside the barrier was still clear in their minds. That huge dragon in the sky and the countless mysterious seals on the ground¡ªeven with a single nce, they could feel how scary those things had been. Now, though...

    ng!

    Nearby, a barbarian happily pulled out a seal from the ground. As he raised his head and saw Chen Feng¡¯s group gazing at him, he was immediately put on alert. He hugged the seal tightly to his chest and, taking quick steps, he left, fearing the prospect of getting robbed by Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    Suddenly, Kong Bai pointed somewhere. "Look."

    On a b so old it was decaying, a vague diagram could be seen. It appeared to be the diagram depicting the battle between some tall and sturdy barbarians and their enemies. However, all the spots of the diagram that were supposed to depict the enemies had beenpletely shattered. Those people were seemingly capable of erasing any traces of their existence, causing others to not even know where to start looking for them. On the ground, only the remains of the barbarians could be found. No trace of the enemies could be seen.

    "All their traces have been cleaned up. It is apparent that the attacker was not some monster. Rather, it was a life-form with intelligence."

    Chen Feng looked toward a certain destroyed diagram. "This height..." The diagram was already extremely indistinct, but from the movement and attacking angle of the barbarian depicted on it, it was quite likely that the enemy was shorter than the barbarian. From this, it could be concluded that the enemy was shorter from the barbarian. From this angle...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng asked, "Is it possible that the enemies are humans?"

    Qin Hai shook his head. "I doubt it. Back then, any human stepping in here would most probably have ended up with their entire army eliminated."

    As they were humans themselves, they naturally had a deep understanding of humanity. The history of humanity, the strength of humanity throughout the eras, all these had been clearly recorded. The era in which this barbarian city had existed was most certainly not an era where humanity had reigned supreme. As for this location, this was a location still untouched by even the current humanity, let alone ancient humans. Moreover, as humanity had never been truly destroyed, no such unique ruins of humanity simr to this barbarian ruin existed out there. As such, it was unlikely that the enemies of these barbarians had been humans. As such, this signified that among the unknown regions, there still existed some terrifying existences capable of destroying the barbarian civilization.

    Humanity was developing this without stop and were the self-proimed supreme rulers of this. They had always beenining that their rate of development was too slow, as they wanted to control all the resources this had to offer. However, they had never imagined that these barriers in the form of unknown regions that had limited humanity¡¯s development were also the very thing that had been protecting humanity. If humanity were to sh with the civilization that had destroyed the barbarians...

    At this thought, the three of them each inhaled a mouthful of cold air. Suddenly, Chen Feng recalled the fate of the Native Americans in his previous world.

    That group of people that had been living on that continent had never imagined that there would be a day where other humans would cross the ocean to reach them and destroy them to build a new country on that continent. Their expressions became solemn as they thought of the possibility of there existing a mysterious civilization that had destroyed the barbarians.

    Chen Feng¡¯s mouth curled up, forming a smile. "It would seem like we have to do a detailed investigation here."

    Kong Bai sneered. "Naturally."

    All three of them were naturally people who prioritized their personal benefits. However, when the scope of what they discovered expanded to the point where the fate of humanity was affected, they would have to find out the truth, even if it was for the sake of themselves.

    "Regardless of whether that mysterious race exists or not, we must find out the truth," Qin Hai stated with a resolute expression. At this time, several barbarians had already taken notice of their group. They were presently near the entrance of the ruins, a ce where theparatively weaker barbarians wandered about, looking for valuable items to be exchanged with the guards. As Chen Feng¡¯s group had been standing here for quite a while, they were starting to attract the attention of others.

    "Go."

    They left the entrance, stepping into the inner region of thisnd of legacy.

    Sha! Sha!

    The sandy breeze became bitingly cold. Within this wind whose origin was unknown, an astonishing power lingered. Chen Feng nced around and noted that even some of the barbarians couldn¡¯t bear staying in this wind for long. The deeper they entered, the more astonishing this chilly wind became.

    "Be careful."

    Qin Hai was walking in front, obstructing the chilly wind for them.

    As for Chen Feng and Kong Bai, they were following behind silently. Since there were still some barbarians around them, they did not dare to use their energy. As such, they could only let Qin Hai take the burden of defending them against the wind.

    Ten meters. A Hundred meters.

    ...

    Finally, when Qin Hai nearly couldn¡¯t hold on anymore, their surroundings were already devoid of barbarians. The flesh of Qin Hai was as powerful as a middle-tier B ss, and even among the barbarians, his flesh could be considered top-notch. Since even he was having difficulty here, it was natural that barbarians were rarely seen this deep into the ruins.

    Kong Bai flipped his wrist. "Rise!"

    Hum¡ª

    His unlimited energy supply appeared once more.

    "Condense!"

    With a wave, a protective barrier appeared, blocking in front of them. At that, the chilly wind that seemed to be everywhere instantly disappeared around them. Along with the wind, that biting chill vanished as well.

    "I can still persevere for a while," Qin Hai said helplessly. "There might still be some barbarians here."

    Kong Bai snorted. "What are we afraid of? I don¡¯t have the courage to do anything at the entrance, since there are too many barbarians there, but here at this ce, regardless of the amount of barbarians that appear, I will be able to eliminate them."

    Instantly, Qin Hai was speechless. It would seem like this guy here had truly been beaten up too badly earlier. Right at this moment, suddenly, a returning figure appeared among the chilly wind in the distance. He was a person with thick furs all over his body, a tall and sturdy figure, and a steady bearing. A barbarian had appeared!

    Chen Feng became alert. "Be careful."

    Kong Bai curled his lips and he walked out confidently. "What are you afraid of?" After two short seconds, he halted, gulped, and turned around and walked back to them silently. This was because, behind that sturdy barbarian, several tens of barbarians had emerged from the chilly wind as well.

    Kong Bai¡¯s mouth twitched. "The h*ll..." It couldn¡¯t be a coincidence, right? For them to stumble across a returning squad of barbarians? Those returning barbarians were carrying all sorts of different items obtained from the ruins. As they saw Kong Bai, whose body was enveloped by a barrier of energy, they stopped walking and their eyes became vicious.

    This guy is truly a walking disaster...

    Chen Feng was speechless at how inauspicious the mouth of this Kong Bai was. Looking at how things were developing, they would probably get entangled in a bitter battle now.

    Shua!

    The two of them walked forth silently. Several tens of barbarians ced their items on the ground before taking out their weapons with bloodshot eyes.

    Right at this moment, suddenly, the sky brightened up.

 Chapter 387: Legacy!

    Chapter 387: Legacy!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang!

    A seemingly boundless light erupted and, with that, an immense sun surged out from the distant horizon. The blood-red radiance of the sun emitted a sense of bloodlust, and numerous bloody figures appeared from amidst the red light.

    Howl! Howl!

    Numerous red monsters appeared. Even the expressions of the group of barbarians changed when they witnessed this scene.

    Howl¡ª

    With a howl, the barbarians changed the direction their weapons were pointed.

    Sha! Sha!

    A mournful voice resounded in the air. Each of the red monsters was radiating a light that swirled around their body. In thisnd of legacy of the barbarians that couldn¡¯t use any energy, the monsters that appeared were astonishingly pure-energy monsters. These were monsters formed from pure me energy.

    Chen Feng had an odd expression on his face. "No wonder the barbarians are so sensitive toward energy." In other words, these barbarians that were tempering out here had been treating Chen Feng¡¯s group as those NPC-like monsters?

    Bang! Bang!

    Red light flickered without stop. At this moment, the barbarians were already shing with the energy monsters. Every time those huge weapons of the barbariansnded on the bodies of those red energy monsters, an attack with an explosive might was unleashed. However, the energy monsters were able to reassemble their bodies speedily even after their bodies were sted apart. Since they were inherently formed of energy, they seemed to possess a certain ability to reconstruct their body by exhausting a certain amount of energy.

    After the monsters¡¯ bodies were reconstructed, the barbarians kept attacking without stop, attacking until the energy monsters exhausted all their energy supply.

    Bang!

    One energy monster after another was beaten until they copsed.

    As Chen Feng¡¯s group witnessed this, they felt a shock in their hearts by the strength demonstrated by these barbarians. At the same time, they were also rendered rather speechless by the barbarians¡¯ brutish method ofbat.

    With a single nce, Chen Feng saw through the barbarians. "Theyck understanding of the structural makeup of energy. As such, they have to exert strenuous effort when battling." With such a brutishbat method, even if the barbarians were to achieve victory in the end, they would still have to pay a disastrous price.

    "Should we help them?" Qin Hai asked.

    "Shh¡ª"

    Silently, Kong Bai grabbed the both of them and retreated. Presently, in the eyes of the barbarians, these low-level NPCs¡ªChen Feng¡¯s group¡ªwere evidently of no importance anymore. They were not willing to waste their strength dealing with these low-level NPCs. As such, it was good that these low-level NPCs had chosen to retreat by themselves.

    "What are you nning?" Qin Hai asked doubtfully.

    Kong Bai merely smiled profoundly. "Hehe."

    Hum¡ª

    Instantly, the color in his pupils vanished. Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted as he recalled that unique ability of Kong Bai¡¯s.

    This guy...

    Shua! Shua!

    Suddenly, the tides of battle started changing. The energy monsters that had been taking a beating from the barbarians suddenly became iparably savage as theirbat power surged. As for the barbarians, they seemed to suddenly have their strength repressed by some mysterious power.

    Bnced! Thebat power of both parties was now extremely bnced! Finally, apanied by a resounding bang, the final barbarian slumped down onto the ground.

    "Now."

    Xiu!

    A chilly sheen shed out and numerous Wind des appeared from among the chilly winds.

    Bang! Bang!

    The energy monsters copsed and died on the spot.

    Energy attacks were obviously much more fatal against these energy monsterspared to those barbarians. In a short moment, the several surviving energy monsters were all killed. The copsing energy transformed into light particles before vanishing.

    Hum¡ª

    As for that sun on the horizon, it was still shining dazzlingly without stop. Chen Feng could faintly feel that some sort of mysterious power seemed to be transforming his body. An obscure yet mysterious power seemed to be operating on him.

    Kong Bai and Qin Hai noticed Chen Feng¡¯s different behavior. "What¡¯s up?"

    "Something is odd about these energy monsters¡ª"

    Before Chen Feng could even finish his sentence.

    Shua!

    Once again, the sky changed. That blood-red sun started descending slowly, and a bright moon suddenly rose. A vague sound of waves could be heard.

    "A bright moon rising from the ocean?"

    All three of them sunk into a solemn mood. With the previous sun and the current moon, what was this scene hinting at, exactly?

    Bang!

    The blue moonlight intensified, and suddenly, numerous terrifying energy monsters appeared from the darkness. This time, all of them were blue.

    "Here theye again," Kong Bai shouted.

    Qin Hai¡¯s expression was somewhat unsightly as well. "What¡¯s going on?" Without those barbarians around to deal with those energy monsters, they were simply not the opponent of these monsters. There was nothing they could do, as the amount of the monsters was too high.

    "We seemed to have activated something," Chen Feng stated with a deep voice.

    Red, blue...

    As Chen Feng recalled the changes in his body earlier, he started wondering if this was the so-called legacy of the barbarians? He decided to give it a try. "You two hold back the other energy monsters and let only one of them over. I want to try something out."

    Chen Feng inhaled.

    Bang!

    Instantly, his Energy Equipment erupted. His peak B-ssbat power appeared, insta-killing the lone energy monster.

    Ka!

    A single blue colored energy monster copsed on the ground.

    During that instant...

    A certain power could be felt gushing into his body. His body seemed to be undergoing some sort of transformation, a transformation that enabled his next battle to feel somewhat easier.

    "This thing..."

    Bang!

    Once again, Chen Feng insta-killed a lone energy monster.

    Hum¡ª

    That familiar power gushed into his body. After immersing himself in that sensation shortly, Chen Feng came to himself. These monsters were actually capable of increasing the amount of energy immunity a person possessed!

    Chen Feng was pleasantly surprised. "This is the training method to obtain the legacy of the barbarians! Each energy monster killed will increase the killer¡¯s energy immunity. Earlier, after killing two energy monsters, my energy immunity seemed to have increased by around 1%."

    "So that¡¯s how it is."

    Kong Bai and Qin Hai were overjoyed. When their gazesnded once more on these energy monsters, their gazes were already bloodshot.

    "Hahahahaha, so this is the so-called legacy. No wonder there are such environmental changes urring even within thisnd of legacy."

    Qin Hai¡¯s mouth curled up, forming a smile. "Let¡¯s go. Increasing energy immunity, huh? I like it."

    Shua!

    The three of them started forming some sort of entrapment. The energy monsters were forced into a small radius near a certain ruin where they started killing the monsters. Regardless of the amount of energy monsters, they only needed to focus on a small portion of them first. Under normal circumstances, they were most certainly not a match for these monsters. However, if their energy immunity were to increase without stop, this would transform into a true training session. This situation they were in that seemed so dangerous was in fact a situation that could be solved in a rather safe method that would also enable to them increase their strength.

    In fact, if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the barbarians couldn¡¯t use any energy, causing them to only be able to battle these energy monsters in a brutish manner¡ªcoupled with Kong Bai scheming against them¡ªthe barbarians definitely would not have ended up defeated by these monsters. This was a great opportunity for them.

    Hum¡ª

    A small blue ball was hovering in Kong Bai¡¯s hand.

    Shua! Shua!

    The blue monsters died without stop. The three of them were going berserk, killing one monster after another without stop.

    From 1%... to 2%... 3%... 5%...

    ...

    The amount of damage these monsters could deal to them was reducing, and the three of them were bing more and more powerful as the battle progressed. Their strength increased without stop and, using only a short period of time, all the monsters were killed. Ultimately, their energy immunity reached 10%.

    "Haha, we won." Kong Baiughed heartily and continued, "With 10% energy immunity, when I go out in the future, I can afford to be arrogant."

    Chen Feng and Qin Hai were full of smiles as well. However, before long, suddenly, the color of the sky changed. This time, the color was yellow.

    Their expressions changed slightly. "There¡¯s more?"

    Shua! Shua!

    Once again, numerous monsters surged out. After great difficulty, they defeated all these monsters and, once again, their energy immunity increased by another 10%. However, before they could even heave a sigh of relief, once again, the sky changed color.

    Green!

    By the time they defeated the green monsters, they were already weary and exhausted. Even with energy immunity and an unlimited energy supply, they had still reached their limit. However...

    Hum¡ª

    Once again, the sky started shining. Surprisingly, though, there was no color this time.

    Chen Feng looked at the sky. "Has it ended?"

    Bang!

    Suddenly, a terrifying beam of light pierced out of the sky. An intense heat started spreading. The three of them could only feel a sense of pain in their bodies, and they lost consciousness immediately after. An indistinct huge figure seemed to be flitting through the sky. That huge figure seemed to be the terrifying giant dragon they had seen from the barrier earlier.

 Chapter 388: Awakening

    Chapter 388: Awakening

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Unknown region, barbarian¡¯s tribe.

    Numerous barbarians were kneeling on the ground and looking at the stone statue with a fanatical gaze filled with fear. They could feel the ancient and formidable power radiating from that stone statue. This was a power that belonged to their ancestors.

    At this time, that stone statue looked up at the starry sky with his deep gaze and said, "They should be dead by now, right?"

    Earlier, when those humans had intruded into theirnd of legacy, he hadn¡¯t stopped them, nor had he killed them. Rather, he had watched on with a mocking gaze as those humans had intruded into thatnd of sure death.

    The stone statue sighed. "Legacy, huh... It has been severed for many years." Thend of legacy was a ce filled with danger, a ce where every single step one took would be full of difficulty. If a human were to enter that ce, not only would they need to face the dangers contained within thend of legacy, they would also need to face the attacks of the barbarians within as well. After all, for the barbarians, anyone capable of using energy was considered an enemy.

    Furthermore, it wasn¡¯t a sure fact yet that those humans would be able to reach the inner region of thend of legacy. Even if they were witty and were able to avoid those fatal dangers, they still needed to face the five-colored tempering after entering the true core region of thend of legacy. On top of that, there was also the final test, the bloodline inspection¡ªan inspection conducted by that mysterious huge dragon that originated from the barbarian¡¯s totem.

    Only a true barbarian would be able to survive this. Everyone else would most certainly die. They had once been a prosperous civilization. As such, how would they fail in something like a bloodline inspection? Without a bloodline inspection, their legacy would have been plundered by their enemies long ago.

    The stone statue pondered. "Seeing how the humans are already reaching this ce in their explorations, I will need to make more preparations now."

    As for the few humans earlier? They were most probably dead by now.

    Earlier, the power of the dragon had been felt. Based on his understanding, only after one failed the bloodline inspection would this power bloom. That was a power even he himself dared not face. As for humans? It was quite probable that even an A-ss human would not be able to resist such a power.

    Shua!

    Far away, the primal and chaotic aura started shaking. The stone statue sighed inwardly. He knew that along with the entry of those humans, this initially peaceful region would once again sink into chaos. War wasing.

    **

    Within the dusk, Chen Feng was slowly waking up. His whole body ached, and he felt powerless. This reminded him of how powerful the attack of that dragon earlier had been. Just a random puff from the dragon¡¯s mouth had been sufficient to cause all of them to lose consciousness.

    Not dead?

    Chen Feng celebrated the fact that he was still alive. Now that he was conscious, it indicated that he was still alive. If so, had his Luck Aura worked earlier? That dragon¡¯s attack had been too fast and ferocious. None of them had been able to react in time. The only thing Chen Feng had been able to do was activate his Luck Aura before losing consciousness. That was the only thing he had been able to do.

    Luck Aura...

    Chen Feng tried sensing his luck value. Instantly, his expression changed. With shock, he found that the pitiful amount of luck value he¡¯d had previously had not been reduced. Instead, it had increased by quite a huge amount.

    What¡¯s going on?

    Chen Feng had an ominous feeling. After shaking away his deep exhaustion, he opened both his eyes. Somewhat surprisingly, he was actually on a clean and neat bed. Some distance away from him were some ancient-looking objects, such as crude wooden washbowls and so on.

    "This is..."

    Doubt shed in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes. Hospital? Not possible. The items here did look like something from this era. If so... was this the barbarian¡¯s tribe? That did not seem to be the case either. With the intelligence of those barbarians, they would not possess such tools. This was especially true since, on a certain desk, a book could be seen. This proved that the inhabitants of this ce were capable of reading.

    Chen Feng rubbed his head. "Damn it." What ce is this, exactly?

    Qin Hai and Kong Bai were nowhere to be seen either. Only Chen Feng was here on the bed. With great difficulty, he raised his arm and noted that a thickyer of cloth strips were wrapped around his body. The color of the cloth strips did not look pure enough, evidently not a product of the modern era. If so, was he in ancient times?

    Chen Feng had an ominous feeling. "I haven¡¯t transmigrated again, right?" Back then, when he had been killed in the library, Luck Aura had disyed its power and brought him to the world of gics. Now that he had been killed during tempering, Luck Aura had also simrly activated during his moment of death...

    Chen Feng rubbed his somewhat aching head. "The f*ck? This can¡¯t be, right?"

    If he had truly transmigrated... he was truly in deep shit, then. At this time, suddenly, footsteps could be heard.

    Creak.

    The door of the room opened. A petite and delicate-looking youngdy walked in carrying a pot of medicinal herb in her hands.

    Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. Why was this a girl instead of a sturdy-looking barbarian? He would rather have a barbarian looking after him than this youngdy. After all, getting caught by the barbarians was better than being transmigrated away.

    The youngdy was somewhat surprised. "You¡¯re awake?"

    "Yes." Chen Feng appeared to be at a loss. The youngdy was dressed simply, the things she wore having been produced from clothes. This was clearly a different style than what the barbarians wore. Apart from that, her height, body shape, appearance, everything about her appeared like that of a normal human¡¯s.

    The youngdy smiled and said, "It¡¯s good that you are awake. You have been unconscious for over a month."

    "Over a month..." Chen Feng nked. "Where is this?"

    "This ce?" The youngdy answered in an odd tone, "This is the Xiong Fort. Xiong Da found you guys unconscious at the entrance and carried all of you back here."

    So that¡¯s what had happened. Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. This Xiong Fort was a ce he had never heard of. This was indeed not the Gic Era! Wait... perhaps this was a somewhat outdated and underdeveloped city?

    Instinctively, Chen Feng asked, "Have you heard of Gic Union?"

    The youngdy shook her head. "No. What organization is that?"

    Oh.

    Chen Feng contemted and concluded that it would still be eptable for such an underdeveloped ce to not know of the Gic Union. A trace of hope was still contained in his heart. However, in the next second, that small trace of hope waspletely shattered.

    "Presently, the world is divided in three. The Sage, Divine Ancestor, and Devil King are the rulers of this world. Lord Sage dominates allnds under the heavens and is undefeated. A short while ago, he even ripped the sky apart to battle the Divine Ancestor. The scope of their battleground extended for three thousand miles. Gic Union is most probably some small organization," the youngdy mentioned without a care.

    Shua.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. A world divided in three by the Sage, Divine Ancestor, and Devil King. There was also that sky being ripped apart and the battle extending three thousand miles... No matter how he looked at this, this did not appear like a mere underdeveloped vige!

    This ce...

    Chen Feng was ashen faced. He had most probably transmigrated for real.

    The youngdy smiled. "Since you are awake,e out and take a walk. You have been unconscious for too long. As such, your brain is still rather dull. You can start thinking after first moving your body around and getting better."

    As she finished, carefully, she helped Chen Feng up and walked him out of the room. Chen Feng did not resist her. He was busy contemting, wondering what kind of ce had he transmigrated to. However, right as he walked out the door, he saw a sturdy-looking figure that was three meters tall. That person was crouched on the ground, shaving his leg with a broadsword.

    "Yo, this guy is awake?" the sturdy guy loudly asked. At the same time, he scratched himself with that broadsword. Instantly, afortable expression appeared on his face.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    "It is indeedfortable to shave leg hairs using the humans¡¯ Green Dragon Crescent de."

    Ka! Ka!

    A solid clump of leg hairs dropped down onto the ground.

    At this sight, the youngdy exasperatedly said, "Xiong Da, how many times have I told you? You are not allowed to scrape your leg hairs in front of the house! See, you are scaring our guest!"

    "I¡¯m only shaving some hair," Xiong Da grumbled before walking far away.

    "You stinky Xiong Da!" the youngdy shouted indignantly. "Hmph. That guy is called Xiong Da, themander of Xiong Fort. However, he is normally free and has nothing to do all day long, so he always sticks nearby being an eyesore, " she exined.

    Xiong Da... Chen Feng frowned. This Xiong Da guy looked somewhat familiar to him.

    "What are you thinking about?" the youngdy asked as she noticed Chen Feng¡¯s expression.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Nothing, nothing much."

    The youngdy smiled and said, "If there¡¯s nothing, you can go check on your friends. They were lying unconscious at the entrance like you as well. I don¡¯t know if they have awoken yet or not."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. Friends? He followed the youngdy into the room next door and noticed that it was indeed Kong Bai and Qin Hai. Finally, his nerves that had been stretched taut loosened up somewhat. He had indeed not transmigrated to some different world. That had truly given him a huge shock. If he had truly left this world in such an absurd manner, he truly would have copsed emotionally. As he reached the room, he noted that both Kong Bai and Qin Hai were already awake. Both of them were silently... shaving their leg hairs.

    Chen Feng was somewhat stupefied. "???"

    Kong Bai rejoiced. "Yo, you¡¯re awake?"

    Chen Feng pointed at their legs. "You guys..."

    Kong Bai felt helpless as well. "You¡¯re talking about this? D*mn it, after we woke up, our legs became this way for reasons unknown. Moreover, this will repeat every day. No matter how cleanly we shave them, all the hairs grow back the next day."

    As he heard this, Chen Feng pulled up his pants up and noted that both his legs were already covered in hair as well. Chen Feng smiled bitterly.

    What is going on here?

    The youngdy seemed to notice that they had something they wanted to talk about and smiled before saying, "You guys talk. If there¡¯s anything you need, don¡¯t hesitate to call us."

    Finishing her words, she left, leaving the three behind.

    Kong Bai shrugged. "All right. Now, we can start rearranging our thoughts."

    All three of them were extremely intelligent people. Despite their unfamiliarity with this ce, from the information they had received and some questions they had asked, afterparing the information each of them obtained, they were able to deduce some things. For example, what kind of ce was this? This was a ce where barbarians and humans existed. The disguise they¡¯d been wearing had vanished long ago. However, that youngdy had still rescued them. Moreover, she seemed like a human, yet she was coexisting peacefully with a barbarian. What was going on?

    Human... barbarian... why had this youngdy rescued them? Was this a different undiscovered tribe? This was what they guessed.

    Qin Hai shrugged. "The instant we saw that red sh, we lost consciousness."

    Kong Bai sighed. "Me too. That seems to have been a power far exceeding our current level."

    However, as they obtained more information and proved their hypotheses, especially after the discussion with Chen Feng, they reached an extremely terrifying verdict. They had indeed transmigrated!

    That¡¯s right. Despite the fact that barbarians existed here, these barbarians werepletely unrted to the barbarians from their world. Despite the fact that humans existed here, these humans were alsopletely unrted to the humans of their Gic Era. Genes? For the humans here, that was something they had no knowledge of. The humans here seemed to be worshipping the power of the Sage. As for the barbarians, they honored the Divine Ancestor. Apart from that, there was also the Devil King. In short, this was a world divided in three. The so-called Gic Era did not exist here.

    Therefore, their ultimate conclusion was that the dragon¡¯s surprise attack had, in an absurd manner, caused them to stumble upon a time crack or space crack that only had an extremely small probability of appearing, at which point they transmigrated to this ce. That was all there was to it. As for what ce this was? They had no idea. This might be an entirely different dimension altogether.

    Qin Hai was doubtful. "Is transmigration something possible?" He found it hard to believe that something like this that only happened in novels would actually happen in real life. It was rumored that the Mysterious Organization had also been researching this subject and had never seeded after all these years.

    "Oh." Chen Feng paused. How should he exin?

    Kong Bai sighed. "It¡¯s possible."

    Immediately, the other two looked at him. "Oh?"

    Kong Bai coughed and feigned a calm expression as he exined, "You both should be clear about our circumstances before we lost consciousness, right? That was truly an extremely dangerous situation, extremely dangerous... if we had truly been hit, we might have truly died. Hence... I used my space-rted ability to defend myself. Perhaps I identally caused a spatial collision, causing our transmigration."

    Qin Hai contemted. "So that¡¯s the case."

    Chen Feng raised his eyebrow. He felt that the words of this Kong Bai guy weren¡¯t particrly trustworthy. If this had truly been caused by this guy¡¯s space-rted ability...

    Suddenly, Chen Fengmanded, "Xiao Ying!"

    Shua!

    A red light shed in his mind.

    "Did you record everything?" Chen Feng asked.

    Shua!

    In a proud manner, Xiao Ying flung its tail around. Normally, whenever Chen Feng lost consciousness, Xiao Ying woulde out to protect him. Chen Feng had once taught it how to record everything it saw.

    Hum¡ª

    Red light flickered in his mind. The scenes of everything that had happened since he had lost consciousness started reying. That terrifying light in the air and that mysterious red dragon, both were incredibly scary. At that time, the three of them had sunk into absolute danger. Right at that instant, Kong Bai seemed to have done something. Chen Feng had only been able to activate Luck Aura before losing consciousness. As for that guy, he had thrown himself at Chen Feng and Qin Hai.

    "Transmigrate for me!"

    Bang!

    A beam of light had erupted and instantly enveloped the three of them.

    Hum¡ª

    The scenes around them started disintegrating.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted furiously as he saw this. This Kong Bai guy was capable of transmigrating as he wished?

    In short, during the final moment, Kong Bai had actually brought the both of them along before transmigrating into this new world to hide from the dragon¡¯s attack? This ability... Chen Feng was truly shocked. Transmigration, a subject the Mysterious Organization had been studying painstakingly, was actually something this guy could do as he wished? He was too much of a freak! However, since this guy was capable of transmigrating, he should be able to take them back after recovering, right? This was what Chen Feng guessed.

    Just as he was about to ask Kong Bai about transmigration, suddenly, the door of their room opened. The youngdy had returned with that sturdy-looking barbarian.

    "The boss heard that you guys awoke and wants to see you guys," Xiong Da stated in a simple and honest manner.

    The three of them nodded. "All right." However, now that this sturdy guy had shaved all the hairs on his body, an appearance that Chen Feng was extremely familiar with was revealed. After looking at him attentively, Chen Feng¡¯s mind jolted furiously due to the appearance of this guy. Back then, Chen Feng had only caught a glimpse of that guy. However, Chen Feng was able to recognize his face. This guy here looked exactly like that mysterious expert they had seen right before entering thend of legacy, the guardian of the tribe of barbarians. This guy was precisely that mysterious stone statue! Why was the stone statue here?

    Chen Feng was rmed. Xiong Da... mysterious stone statue...

    So, they hadn¡¯t actually transmigrated and were instead still at the core region of the ruins of the barbarians? If so, what were all this things he had seen? Was this an illusion or something else? Chen Feng had no answer. However, he could vaguely feel that he had stumbled upon something incredibly unordinary.

    As they walked on the streets, one tall and lofty figure after another appeared. Each of them was three meters tall. Different from the normal barbarians they knew of, these people here were all clean and neat, without all the messy hair on their body. Far away, familiar-looking characters could be seen on the signboard of the shops by the street. Those were the characters Chen Feng¡¯s group had previously seen on the barrier outside the ruins.

    These people... these scenes...

    The three of them exchanged nces and sunk into a solemn mood.

    "This can¡¯t be true, right?" Kong Bai muttered. The h*ll, he had only tried to transmigrate. Unexpectedly...

    Chen Feng rubbed his head. "This must be it." They had indeed transmigrated. However, rather than transmigrating to a different world, they had instead transmigrated back countless years, transmigrating into the most glorious era of these barbarians. This was the era of barbarians!

    Howl¡ª

    Suddenly, a thundering roar resounded in the air. This roar traveled throughyers of air, seemingly capable of shaking one¡¯s soul itself. Next, a huge figure streaked past in the sky. A familiar red afterimage was left behind. That was precisely that mysterious dragon they had seen earlier! They had truly traveled back in time! The three of them nked for a long time at this realization.

    Chen Feng looked at Kong Bai. "Can we still go back?"

    Kong Bai knew that he wouldn¡¯t be able to keep this a secret from Chen Feng and could only smile bitterly as he replied, "After umting a certain amount of power of time, I will indeed be capable of transmigration. However, the location of the transmigration... will depend on fate. This time, we arrived here by ident. As for the next transmigration, I have no idea where we will end up." Kong Bai¡¯s head ached as well. "When I first obtained this ability, I transmigrated to a different world as well. After that, I spent 20 years transmigrating nonstop for several hundred times before I was able to return back to our world. The next time we can return to our world... I truly have no idea when will it be."

    Kong Bai announced his ability in a helpless manner.

    ----

    Ability: Transmigration

    Effect: transmigrate to a random world containing energy.

    Consumption: pure energy

    ----

    This was an extremely simple description. It clearly described that this was a one-way trip. One could only transmigrate endlessly to reach a particr world one wished to reach. Based on Kong Bai¡¯s description, every time he transmigrated, he himself would not know the destination. However, after leaving his world, he would work hard to return. Regardless of which world he reached, he would work hard to umte pure energy. Only by doing that would he be able to transmigrate any time he encountered a danger. All those years, he had been transmigrating without stop. He had also been saving up his energy supply without stop. One time, two time... ten times...

    After several hundred attempts, after 20 years of transmigrating aimlessly, one day, he had returned to his world. On top of that, he was not able to save up his energy in advance before transmigrating, because regardless of the amount of energy he saved, the instant he transmigrated, the energy would bepletely exhausted. Depending on the amount of energy he had saved, the destination would change ordingly. Even now, Kong Bai had yet to discover exactly how the amount of energy saved affected the destination of his transmigration. Both the destination and time of his transmigration were things he was not able to ascertain.

    After 20 years transmigrating around endlessly, it was truly out of his expectations that only three days had passed in that world when he returned. Transmigration was truly an amazing ability. However, since his return, he no longer dared to utilize this ability of his. He was afraid that, when he once again used this ability, he would be sent to some random location. At least, this time...

    Chen Feng and Qin Hai were disappointed. "So that¡¯s the case."

    Transmigration... so this Kong Bai guy had such a rich experience? Was this also the reason his abilities had gone through so many mutations? At this moment, the things they had suspected became clear to them. Who would have guessed that this guy had experienced so much at such a young age?

    Twenty years of transmigration... More than a hundred different worlds with energy...

    Chen Feng could imagine the kind of horror he would feel whenever he reached an alien world and encountered danger, and that was the manner in which this guy had lived.

    Suddenly, Qin Hai asked, "As such, you have no friends?"

    At that, Kong Bai¡¯s expression turned somewhat unsightly.

    "I suppose you don¡¯t have a lover either," Chen Feng said after pondering.

    Instantly, Kong Bai¡¯s expression darkened. These two guys...

    Chen Feng patted his shoulder. "It has been hard on you." No matter what, Kong Bai had indeed saved both their lives this time.

    "This is why I am the main character," Kong Bai muttered. "I don¡¯t even have a family, let alone friends or lovers. Traveling the world by my lonesome self, with the ability to transmigrate at will? With such a character background, if I¡¯m not the main character, what am I?"

    Chen Feng and Qin Hai chuckled. True.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "However, there are also many different types of main characters. I know a guy who possesses the characteristics of a main character as well. However, if my guesses are correct, the story in which he is a main character must be a porno story. That guy is a main character with a harem! As for you..." Chen Feng pondered seriously before saying, "I¡¯m afraid you are ying the role of a tragic main character with great bitterness and deep hatred."

    Kong Bai: "..."

    Suddenly, Chen Fengughed. "Do you know what youck?"

    Kong Bai nked. "Huh?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression became serious. "Youck the aura of a main character. Therefore, are you interested in having the aura of a main character, in transforming into a true main character? For example, the next time you transmigrate, we can directly return to our world?"

    "How is that possible?" Kong Bai cried out in rm. Returning in a single attempt? What a joke. How was that possible? Based on his experience of hundreds of transmigrations and the worlds he had traveled, the probability of him returning to the gic world was less than one in a thousand. Moreover, that was only the probability of returning to that world¡ªthe point in time he would arrive at was uncertain as well. To return to the same point of time, only god knew how low the probability was. Back then, he had managed to return purely by fluke. That probability... it would seem like Chen Feng stillcked understanding of his ability.

    Kong Bai smiled bitterly. "Transmigration is not so simple. The probability¡ª"

    "Ah," Chen Feng interrupted him, and with a faint smile on his face, he whispered by Kong Bai¡¯s ear, "I forgot to tell you that, in fact, I am a main character as well."

    Kong Bai had a bewildered expression. "Ah?"

    "You possess the power of transmigration. As for me..." Chen Feng¡¯s mouth curled up, forming a smile. "I am able to turn the probability of any urrence into reality."

    Suddenly, Kong Bai¡¯s pupils shrunk. "What?!" He stared at Chen Feng with an inconceiving gaze.

    Probability... into reality! In other words... No, impossible, how could such a thing...

    Suddenly, Kong Bai stopped his denial. He recalled the legend-like rise of Chen Feng. Although the plot was somewhat different than his own traveling through different worlds, Chen Feng was a genius who had risen to prominence in the gic world! Kong Bai knew about Chen Feng¡¯s past very well. This was a guy that seemed to specialize in creating miracles. Some said that these miracles were due to Chen Feng¡¯s strong willpower. Some said that he was lucky. Some said that he had formidable umtion. But now, he finally knew the real reason. Probability... into reality?! What damnable ability was this? Luck? With this simple exnation, Kong Bai could already feel how scary Chen Feng¡¯s ability was.

    Kong Bai¡¯s lips felt dry. "Such an ability..."

    Chen Feng smiled. "Simr to your ability, the limitations are rather huge. However, I have suddenly thought of an idea. If both our abilities are used together, what interesting things will happen as a result?"

 Chapter 391: You All Deserve Death!

    Chapter 391: You All Deserve Death!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Joining hands? Transmigration and luck joining hands? Kong Bai¡¯s heart jolted furiously at this thought. He had only thought about it briefly, yet he was already overwhelmed with emotion. Did this not mean that they could transmigrate to any ce they wanted to? Regardless of how harsh the requirements were, regardless of how huge the limitations were, as long as they worked together, nobody could stop them. They would be the true main character of this era!

    When he looked at Chen Feng, his gaze was already burning hot. He knew that the era belonging to them had arrived.

    Kong Bai licked his dry lips. "You mean..."

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "We will first obtain the legacy. After that, you can prepare the energy supply required for transmigration. As for the location of the transmigration, just let me handle it."

    "All right."

    Kong Bai was overwhelmed with emotion. In the past, he had always been treating the world as a game, as he never knew how long would he be staying in a particr world. He¡¯d had no friends and no families, and whatever he did, he would feel like it was pointless. He had let fate decide everything. Now, after meeting Chen Feng, finally, he had his own goal. As long as he followed Chen Feng, he would be able to transmigrate anywhere he wanted to go. They would be able to dominate the whole world in the truest sense. Not only that, they could even dominate countless worlds. This was how a true main character should be.

    They finished their discussion and gained a true understanding of how to implement this n¡ªhow to leave this ce, how to obtain the energy supply, how to unleash the true might of the Transmigration ability, and so on. At this moment, the Qin Hai by the side was somewhat upset. The other two had not avoided him when they were discussing this. Evidently, they had a sufficient amount of trust in him. However, it was precisely this that had caused him to feel somewhat upset. Once upon a time, he had been cooperating with Chen Feng in this manner as well.

    Simr to what happened this time, back then, Chen Feng had also rescued him from his plight, killing those that had trapped him. Now, the person Chen Feng was working together with had be Kong Bai.

    Hu¡ª

    Qin Hai let out a long breath. This was truly an ufortable feeling. He had never imagined that a day woulde where he became baggage as well. Chen Feng was improving endlessly, and Kong Bai was extremely formidable as well. Was he the only one who was still stuck at the same height? Despite his great efforts these days that had increased his flesh¡¯s power to peak C ss, despite how he had been slowly climbing up from being an ordinary D ss to the present him that was capable ofbating a B ss, what was the point of all that? Granted, a B ss was already considered an expert, but in this world, were B sses in low amount? They were practically everywhere! Even in the future, when he reached A ss, were A sses low in amount? There were a lot of them as well!

    Presently, they had reached a height where A sses were everywhere and B sses were lower than dogs. Anyone they faced or encountered was a superexpert. This was understandable. As an example: Someone in elementary school might feel like elementary school students were everywhere and only middle school students were worth something. When one reached middle school, one might then feel like middle school students were everywhere and only university students were formidable. And finally, when one entered university... one might simrly feel like university students were everywhere.

    By the time one graduated, one might instead discover that the degree that had been one¡¯s dream since childhood was instead something somon. One might discover that university students were in fact lower than dogs. As long as a hierarchy existed, this kind of situation would arise. This applied to the sses of gic warriors as well. At their present level, was strength alone useful? No!

    Only people like Chen Feng and Kong Bai, who possessed a special ability unique to themselves, would be able to reach a brand new height in the future. Was this possible for him, Qin Hai?

    Qin Hai pondered. "My future..." If he worked hard enough, he might be able to reach A ss? However, he had no superability, nor could he use energy at all. If he encountered an enemy like Chen Feng or Kong Bai? Mhm... he would only ended up getting caught unprepared. His future was bleak. Suddenly, Qin Hai found himself at a loss. He had always believed firmly that he was a genius. As long as he had a goal, regardless of how low the probability of sess, he would pursue the goal resolutely. Now, though, he had encountered people like Kong Bai and Chen Feng, who were even more of a freak and genius than him. This had dealt him an unprecedentedly huge blow.

    Would he be able to persevere ahead even with a bleak future? He had no idea.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng looked at Qin Hai and said, "If you are willing, in the future, we can work together. Perhaps in a different world there is a solution to the problem with your body."

    "Yes," Kong Bai agreed.

    Suddenly, a trace of warmth surged in Qin Hai¡¯s heart. "Thanks." Since even Chen Feng had not given up on him, why was he giving up on himself? "A day wille when I will be of help to you guys," Qin Hai stated resolutely.

    Chen Feng spread his hands and smiled bitterly. "You are already capable of helping us presently. In this era of barbarians, your strength is absolutely not weak."

    Qin Hai nked. Wasn¡¯t that true? This... was the era of barbarians!

    Qin Hai¡¯s eyes became bright as he thought about something unknown. Suddenly, Xiong Da¡¯s voice resounded, "Hey, we¡¯re here." Xiong Da had brought them to a huge pce. He looked at them with a somewhat amazed expression. "Yi, your body has yet to recover?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s group: "..."

    The hell. We¡¯re dragged over here immediately after waking up. It hasn¡¯t even been half an hour since we woke, right? How the hell were we supposed to have recovered?

    "Still too weak," Xiong Damented. Next, he studied them attentively before saying to Qin Hai, "Mhm, you are not bad. Between the three of you, you are the only one who is still at an eptable level. As for the two of you..." He looked at Chen Feng and Kong Bai in disdain. "You two are somewhat too feminine."

    Chen Feng and Kong Bai were speechless.

    Ifpared to you barbarians, which human would not appear feminine?

    At this time, the heavy-looking entrance of the pce slowly opened. Rows of armored barbarians came out. Each of them appeared tall, sturdy, and majestic. Their bodies alone radiated an incredibly terrifying and oppressive feeling.

    "You guys are the ones Xiong Dai brought?" the captain asked coldly.

    Xiong Dai grinned. "Yes, it¡¯s them."

    The captain nodded. "Bring them in."

    Shua!

    The army of barbarians got out of the way in unison to make way for them.

    Xiong Da led them in as the heavy iron door behind them slowly closed. Apanied by a loud bang from the closing door, they reached the huge public square of the pce. Suddenly, a session nging metal could be heard. The army of barbarians had actually pulled out their weapons and aimed straight at Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    Xiong Da¡¯s expression changed slightly. "What are you all doing?"

    "Xiong Da, this is unrted to you. Get out of the way. They are members of the ancient race... and they deserve death!"

    The barbarians were radiating a terrifying radiance from their body.

    Ancient race... are they referring to humans?

    Only now did Chen Feng¡¯s group think of a question that they had always been neglecting. How would humans exist in this era? Historically, during this era, hadn¡¯t humans still been at their primitive stage, living like savages? But that youngdy... and the attitudes of these barbarians...

    Shua!

    The ice-cold weapons were aimed straight at them as killing intent pervaded the air.

    Chapter 392: Ancient Race!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Why were there humans in this era? None of them knew the answer. However, these barbarians were obviously unhappy with Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    Shua!

    Kong Bai¡¯s unlimited energy supply was released, and it hovered around him. That blue mini-ball pulsated without stop, and the energy within their bodies recovered at an inconceivable speed. At thend of legacy, they had not dared to do anything, as they had wanted to maintain their disguises. However, this was a ce where humans existed. Since the existence of humans was allowed here, what did they have to be afraid of? If these people wanted to battle, then battle!

    Bang!

    The three braced themselves for a battle. Qin Hai stepped forth and stood in front of them as his battle intent surged.

    Xiong Da hastily stopped everyone. "What are you doing?"

    "Don¡¯t get involved in this," the captain bellowed. "On the same day the three of them appeared, our army nearby was dealt huge damage by the ancient race. Coincidentally, these three were brought here on that very same day... You still dare to deny that the incident is not rted to them? These people here are most definitely spies sent from the ancient race."

    "They are not," Xiong Da said with certainty. "Xiao Hong confirmed this fact."

    "Hmph. She¡¯s also part of the ancient race," the captain roared. "Perhaps she has already..."

    "Shut up!" Xiong Da was furious. "Have you forgotten how many of us Xiao Hong has saved? You can suspect them, but you are not allowed to insult Xiao Hong!"

    "Hmph!" The barbarian captain was aware that he had said the wrong thing. As such, he no longer said anything. However, he was still eying Chen Feng¡¯s group viciously.

    "Erm..." Chen Feng raised his hand and asked meekly, "Can I ask a question?"

    "Say it," the captain answered with a fierce expression.

    "What is the ancient race?" Chen Feng asked cautiously.

    Shua!

    Instantly, everyone sunk into silence. Even the angry captain and Xiong Da were staring at Chen Feng with stupefied expressions. Their odd gazes were fixed on him, unable to say anything.

    Xiong Da was filled with doubt. "You have no idea what the ancient race is?"

    Chen Feng answered honestly, "No."

    "..."

    Instantly, Xiong Da narrowed his eyes. If one were to mention that Chen Feng¡¯s group was not a threat, he would believe that. However, for them to im that they did not know what the ancient race was? What joke was this? They themselves were part of the ancient race. Even he couldn¡¯t believe this, let alone the barbarian captain.

    Suddenly, Xiong Da recalled something. "Ye Bi, your squad has a lie detector, right?"

    "Yes." Ye Bi did not bother with being courteous, and he immediately shouted for someone to bring that item over.

    This was an extremely magical mirror, and within the mirror, a power Chen Feng¡¯s group was familiar with coursed. This thing seemed to resemble Kong Bai¡¯s demonic mirror.

    Ye Bi looked at Chen Feng coldly. "This is a divine tool of our army. It has no killing power. However, it is able to determine if you are lying or not, hmph... Have you killed any of our soldiers?"

    "No," Chen Feng answered calmly.

    Everyone looked at the mirror. There was no reaction. He was telling the truth!

    "Are you one of the ancient race members that ambushed our army?" Ye Bi continued questioning.

    "No," Chen Feng answered. There was still no reaction whatsoever from the mirror. He was telling the truth!

    "You don¡¯t know what the ancient race is?"

    "No. I only heard of it today," Chen Feng answered, still calm. Instinctively, everyone looked at the mirror. Indeed, there was no reaction.

    At this, Xiong Da was stunned. These three... "They are really not aware of what the ancient race is?"

    Suddenly, Ye Bi asked, "Where are the three of you from?"

    Xiong Da and the rest listened on with a solemn expression. If these three were truly not part of the ancient race, then where had they originated from?

    Chen Feng pondered and solemnly answered, "We came from a barbarian tribe. At that ce, there were simrly seals and a legacy as well. However, due to some reason, all those had fallen, and now, everything has already been reduced to ruins. We... came for the legacy! At thend of legacy, we encountered an enemy. For some reason, we suddenly appeared here."

    As for that magical mirror, there was still no reaction whatsoever. He was telling the truth!

    "He¡¯s actually telling the truth!"

    As they realized this, Xiong Da and the captain were rmed. From a different barbarian tribe? In short, these three were in fact barbarians whose physical appearance greatly resembled the ancient race members? If so...

    One of them looked at the mirror with doubt. "Is it possible that this thing is spoiled?" Despite this mirror being a divine tool of their army, some still doubted it. This was especially true for those barbarians without any unique abilities.

    "Hmph!" The captain merely sneered and nced at that barbarian before asking, "Little Wang, how long is your penis?"

    Shua!

    In unison, everyone else turned their heads and looked at that barbarian. The barbarian called Little Wang instantly felt awkward and answered, "Ten inches."

    Suddenly, the mirror started shining. The number 10 hovered in midair before it started flickering and ultimately transformed into the number 1.

    Shua!

    Instantly, everyone sunk into silence. Their gazes when looking at Little Wang contained a trace of pity now.

    No wonder this guy does not have a girlfriend. Mhm... that is understandable now.

    "No, that¡¯s not the case," Little Wang exined in a hurry. "I am still young. There¡¯s still room for growth. I..."

    The captain patted his shoulder. "Please don¡¯t be sad." As for everyone else around him, expressions of sympathy appeared on their faces. At this sight, Little Wang¡¯s vision darkened, and he fainted immediately. Why had he stepped forth to question the divine tool for no apparent reason? However, with this, it had been proven that the mirror indeed worked. These three were actually barbarians?!

    The captain ordered the soldiers to retreat. "Your bodies..." Their barbarian civilization had a countless amount of tribes spread everywhere. It was rather reasonable that Chen Feng¡¯s group was truly from a different tribe and had identally appeared here. Unfortunately, their appearance truly resembled the ancient race members greatly.

    "Too weak," he concluded.

    Even the Little Wang by the side agreed. "Yes."

    "Hehe." At this, Kong Bai merely nced at Little Wang coldly before ncing at his lower body and saying, "Bro, do you know how long ten inches is? Even if I¡¯m not tall in height, a certain part of my body is definitely notcking in length, unlike a certain someone¡¯s..."

    Instantly, Little Wang raged. "!!!"

    Kong Bai was furious. "What are you shouting for?! Do you dare to take off your pants andpete in length?"

    Little Wang was flustered and exasperated. "You..." His right hand that was pointing at Kong Bai trembled without stop. Everyone else was speechless. Why were both these adults behaving like children?

    "Sorry," the captain said to Chen Feng¡¯s group. "We are in the wrong here. However, if you are from some new tribe, I suggest that you guys register yourselves."

    Chen Feng¡¯s group of three nodded their heads. "All right."

    "Retreat." The captain waved his hand and the army retreated. As for the vanguard, they continued guarding the two sides of the pce.

    "Let¡¯s go. Since we are from the same side, you guys can meet the boss now." The captain smiled, revealing his rows of ivory white teeth. "Hehe. You guys have no idea how many of the ancient race members trying to meet our boss I have killed."

    Chen Feng¡¯s group raised their eyebrows. This barbarian civilization seemed somewhat different than they had imagined. Ancient race... barbarian... legacy... perhaps this so-called "boss" would be able to dispel their doubts?

 Chapter 393: What the Heck

    Chapter 393: What the Heck

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Ka! Ka!

    The oppressive sounds of the barbarians¡¯ military boots stepping on the ground echoed in the air. These were boots produced purely from the leather of monsters. Apart from the oppressive sound, a bizarre undtion spread with every step they took when wearing these boots. Every single step taken felt iparably stable. Currently, Chen Feng¡¯s group of three were silently following behind the captain. Soon after, after traveling through numerous tunnels, they reached the inner part of the pce.

    "It¡¯s here," the captain said. The curtain was lifted and another sturdy barbarian walked out of the pce.

    "Inspect them," the captain said with a deep voice. "If there¡¯s no problem, send them in."

    With a rough voice, the other barbarian replied, "All right." It should be normal for an inspection to be conducted on the visitors of the barbarian¡¯s leader. However, the barbarian only nced at Qin Hai¡¯s body before looking at Chen Feng, hesitating slightly, and ultimately looking at Kong Bai.

    Kong Bai nked. "???" Suddenly, the barbarian¡¯s hand stretched out and, like a monkey stealing a peach, grabbed Kong Bai¡¯s crotch.

    Instantly, Kong Bai¡¯s expression greened. "The f*ck?" Before Kong Bai could even finish his sentence, his face paled. "You..."

    Chen Feng and Qin Hai exchanged nces before inhaling a mouthful of cold air as they saw that barbarian¡¯s thick and sturdy palm that was grabbing tightly onto Kong Bai¡¯s crotch, seemingly trying to look for something.

    The f*ck!

    The both of them took a step back in unison. Was this how the barbarians conducted their inspections?

    Kong Bai was ashen faced, and his whole body was trembling from anger. "Let! Go!"

    As he felt the hand feeling his crotch up, he felt like killing someone. Just as he was about to erupt in anger without care for the consequences, suddenly, the barbarian retracted his hand silently.

    "Where¡¯s your tail?" the barbarian asked with a deep voice. "The ancient race members all possess tails. Some of their tails might be small or hidden within their clothes, but why do these three not have any tails?! Are there some problems with them?"

    The barbarian¡¯s gaze became somewhat hostile.

    Right at this moment, the captain by the side coughed before saying, "Erm, they are not part of the ancient race. Rather, they are only members of a remote barbarian tribe whose bodies haven¡¯t grown properly."

    Suddenly, the other barbarian felt enlightened. "Oh, oh, oh. No wonder they have no tails. Mhm... go, then. The inspection is over."

    As he finished his words, he stepped aside.

    Kong Bai: "..."

    As he looked at the somewhat apologetic captain, he felt like killing someone.

    Why? Since you knew it, why don¡¯t you tell him earlier? You can¡¯t bully someone like this! And why am I the one getting inspected, not Chen Feng or Qin Hai? Even if I am the main character, this is not the kind of plot that should be unfolding. Normally, main characters should have their crotch inspected by girls, right?

    Kong Bai felt powerless to even berate this. Chen Feng and Qin Hai merely exchanged nces as they sunk deep into contemtion.

    Their identities had obviously been verified by the captain previously. However, he had still insisted on having another round of inspection done. It would seem like this barbarian captain still had some doubts. Fortunately, this doubt of his had ultimately been erased. As for the ancient race...

    Chen Feng frowned. What ancient race was it that had tails? Tails... if so, that so-called ancient race was not a pure human? As he thought of his verified identity, Chen Feng felt like it wouldn¡¯t be problematic if he had any questions now. Moreover, it would be perfectly rational that he had questions.

    "The ancient race has tails?" Chen Feng asked with an amazed tone.

    The barbarian scratched his head as he answered, seemingly feeling apologetic at his previous action of grabbing Kong Bai¡¯s peach. "Not necessarily." He exined, "How can the bloodline of the ancient race be as pure as that of us barbarians? Hmph. There is a lot of variety to that damnable race. The heads of some of them grow in problematic ways, and there are others whose different body parts grow problematically as well. Due to these differences, they are all separated into numerous minor races. As for an ancient race member with no obvious problem in their appearance, then that person is most definitely someone with a tail. In short, on the bodies of these ancient race members, a lot of difference from our bodies can be seen. Our boss mentioned before that those from the ancient race are either people who can¡¯t growrge enough or those that have various deformities despite having a sufficient amount of nutrition while growing. That is the reason their physical appearances are so bizarre." At this, the barbarian felt somewhat awkward and rified, "Naturally, I am not talking about you guys."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Was that final sentence required? Therefore, the so-called ancient race was a race possessing unique mutations?

    It was clear that different barbarians had different education levels. This particr barbarian in front of them had only heard about the ancient race instead of actually meeting one. What exactly was the so-called problems these ancient race members had? None of them had any idea.

    "Oh, right." Suddenly, Chen Feng thought of something, and he looked at Xiong Da before asking, "That youngdy that saved us..."

    Xiong Da scratched his head and stated awkwardly, "She is a member of the ancient race. She has a tail as well. However, it¡¯s a rather small tail. As such, she can hide it."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Looking at Xiong Da¡¯s embarrassed expression and the fact that he had not exined how he had seen her tail, mhm... Chen Feng finally understood how the life-forms of this world were all different from humans. There was no need to mention the differences between the barbarians and humans. There was also the mysterious yet powerful ancient race. He was sure that the ancient race was not something as simple as a race with "problems." If he had the opportunity, he wanted to take a look at what the ancient race looked like.

    At this time, they had finally arrived, and the barbarians escorting them needed to leave.

    "The boss is rather curious about your identities. You guys only need to answer honestly. Since your appearance is somewhat unique, you guys might be able to disguise yourselves as members of the ancient race and spy for us. After all, we can¡¯t find anyone as short as you guys around here..." the barbarian captain said sincerely.

    Chen Feng¡¯s group was speechless.

    By the side, the barbarian that was in charge of inspection gave Kong Bai a thumbs up. "Even my entire hand is not sufficient to grab the entirely of it. You, kid, are a true man!"

    Instantly, Kong Bai¡¯s killing intent surged. Getting groped by a man, no, a barbarian at that, was definitely not something worthy of praise. That was simply too embarrassing.

    "Hmph!"

    He snorted coldly before entering the building. Chen Feng and Kong Bai followed behind him. This was the inner hall of the pce and the domain of the legendary leader of the barbarians. After gaining a certain level of understanding with regard to the barbarians, Chen Feng¡¯s group had mentally prepared to meet this leader. Unexpectedly, they had still underestimated this barbarian leader.

    Shua!

    As they entered the inner hall, an astonishing scene entered their vision. An expanse of wilderness could be seen. Two green mountains were in front of them, and weeds were growing all over the mountains. The peaks of both mountains joined together, a dense bush growing on it. asionally, small birds could be seen flying around, giving off an incredibly lively feeling. This was quite a magnificent scene. It would seem like this barbarian leader was someone who knew how to enjoy his life.

    However, only the green mountains and the pleasant scenery could be seen here. Nobody else was in sight.

    "Is the leader not here?" Kong Bai muttered. That shouldn¡¯t be the case. Earlier, they had obviously...

    "Just wait a while," Chen Feng said with a deep voice.

    Qin Hai nodded. "Mhm."

    Right at this instant, an imposing voice descended upon them from above. "After seeing me, why are you guys not kneeling down to pay your respects?"

    Bang!

    The voice was so loud that it was akin to a thunder.

    What?

    Chen Feng¡¯s group raised their heads instinctively, and their expressions changed greatly at what they saw. That so-called mountain range was, in actuality, an over-10-meter-tall immense stone man. Those green mountains were actually the thighs of this stone man. As for that ce where the "mountains" joined, it was actually...

    Oh, f*ck.

 Chapter 394: Get Your *ss Out Here!

    Chapter 394: Get Your *ss Out Here!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    That thundering voice echoed through the air. "You guys are not part of the ancient race. From your body, the aura of my race can be felt, despite how weak that aura is." Along with the thundering voice, that immense "mountain range" finally started moving. That perfectly straight mountain range piercing straight to the clouds started descending upon them. Next, a 10-meter-tall stone statue appeared in front of them. Even if the stone statue had reduced the size of its body, it still appeared veryrge.

    Chen Feng felt somewhat apprehensive. "This is the leader of the barbarians?" Based on Chen Feng¡¯s guess, the so-called aura on their bodies was quite possibly the 50% energy immunity they had obtained previously at thend of legacy. That was the reason some sort of resonance between their bodies and this leader had appeared. Regardless of what this leader said, Chen Feng was able to understand the leader¡¯s hidden meaning. If they had not possessed this aura on their bodies... they would most probably have been killed off immediately after arriving in this world. Even the inspections and what the captain had done earlier had probably been authorized by this leader. These barbarians were evidently much smarter than the barbarians of the Gic Era.

    "You are the leader?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Leader?" The huge stone statue chuckled and said, "There is no such thing as a leader. If you have no idea what to call me, you can call me the Divine Ancestor."

    Divine Ancestor?

    The expressions of Chen Feng¡¯s group changed slightly. They had once heard about the Divine Ancestor from that youngdy. This was one of the three strongest existence in this world. Apart from this Divine Ancestor, the other two were the Sage and Devil King. This guy here was at least an existence surpassing A ss.

    Chen Feng tried to sound calm. "What do you need us to do?"

    Since this Divine Ancestor had gathered them here instead of killing them, he most certainly had something important for them to do.

    "The aura of my race on your bodies is rather weak. As such, I am the only one able to feel it. Those fellows from the ancient race would not be able to feel the aura in your bodies. Hence, I have an extremely important mission for you guys," the Divine Ancestor stated.

    "Please say it," Chen Feng said with a calm expression.

    "The ancient race has a divine tool with extremely formidable killing power. Every single time we battle, a countless amount of people are killed by this tool. That divine tool is located in the core area of the ancient race. I need you guys to sneak into the ancient race¡¯s territory and stay there as a part of them. When an opportunity arises, destroy that divine tool!"

    The Divine Ancestor¡¯s killing intent could be clearly felt as he said these words. As for Chen Feng¡¯s group, their hearts jolted furiously. It was indeed such a mission. A spying mission... as part of the ancient race? They exchanged nces and looked at each other in dismay. They had only entered this ce to obtain the legacy before gathering sufficient pure energy to return to the Gic Era. That was the only thing they wanted to do. If they had to go where the ancient race was...

    Instinctively, Chen Feng asked, "How long will this mission require?"

    "Ten years," the Divine Ancestor answered with a deep voice. "I will give you guys a deadline of 10 years."

    Shua!

    Their hearts chilled. Ten years... This was too long a time. Did they truly have to stay there for 10 years? But if they refused to go... This was an option they did not see happening.

    Despite the inquiring tone this Divine Ancestor had used when asking them, it was certain that if they dared to refuse, the consequences would be rather fascinating.

    They exchanged nces. "What to do?" It was impossible for them to reject this mission. However, if they were to ept it...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng asked, "Can we enter thend of legacy? Our strength is too weak. If we can enter thend of legacy and improve our strength..."

    Shua!

    The eyes of Kong Bai and Qin Hai shone. True. If they could enter thend of legacy earlier, they would be able to obtain the legacy and pure energy required. After that, they could directly return to the Gic Era. Who would be bothered with whatever happened here next?

    The ice-cold answer of the Divine Ancestor shattered their hope. "No."

    "Why?" Chen Feng asked.

    "The aura in thend of legacy is too thick." The Divine Ancestor pondered before continuing, "With your current strength, the moment you guys obtain the legacy, even if your guys¡¯ strength increases greatly, simrly, your bodies will contain a stronger aura of our race. At that time... I¡¯m afraid even those from the ancient race will be able to determine your true identities. It will no longer be possible for you guys to be spies."

    The Divine Ancestor¡¯s reason for refusing their request was something they couldn¡¯t argue against.

    The Divine Ancestor smiled. "However, you guys need not worry. When you guys return, I will personally open thend of legacy to grant you guys a stronger power, transforming you guys into true experts!"

    Their hearts chilled as they heard this. Ancient race... return... ten years?

    Suddenly, the calm tone of the Divine Ancestor became somewhat stern. "Or perhaps... you guys are not members of my race after all?" At this moment, the normal-looking clouds in the sky suddenly transformed into a huge clump of dense ck aura that roiled endlessly. A terrifying power echoed about in the sky.

    Bang! Bang!

    A thunderous sound could be heard. The voice of the Divine Ancestor echoed without stop. This was a threat! At this moment, the Divine Ancestor¡¯s eyes seemed to have turned purple, and dazzling lighting appeared in the sky, seemingly as if an astonishing and terrifyingly powerful attack was going to descend upon them at any moment.

    "We agree," Chen Feng answered hurriedly.

    Shua!

    The dark clouds vanished.

    Chen Feng breathed out in relief and exined, "I was only worried that we won¡¯t be able toplete this mission. After all, the three of us are too weak. For such an important mission, if we fail..."

    The Divine Ancestor indifferently stated, "Don¡¯t worry. I will pray for you guys."

    Shua!

    The Divine Ancestor pointed midair. A beam of light appeared andnded on the bodies of Chen Feng¡¯s group of three. This was a blessing bestowed by the Divine Ancestor! They felt apprehensive. From the information obtained from the youngdy, the blessing of this Divine Ancestor was incredibly formidable.

    Divine Ancestor¡¯s Blessing: able to block three fatal sources of damage.

    In other words, any attack capable of killing someone could be blocked three times. This was a formidable power of the Divine Ancestor capable of blocking even the power of the Sage. Naturally, the disadvantage of having this blessing was the fact that, moving on, they would be totally under the Divine Ancestor¡¯s monitoring.

    "With this, the lives of the three of you are safe," the Divine Ancestor stated indifferently.

    "Many thanks, Lord Divine Ancestor."

    The three of themughed bitterly. What more could they say?

    Regardless of how powerful this Divine Ancestor¡¯s blessing was, as far as they were concerned, this was akin to a huge shackle, controlling them firmly! At first, they had believed that the barbarian leader would be an A ss at most. Unexpectedly... that Divine Ancestor was the leader. This time, they truly had no other options. Escape? It was pointless. This was the territory of the barbarians during the era of barbarians. They had no way out. As for resisting... they had no intention of dying this early by resisting this Divine Ancestor.

    "It seems like we will have to make a trip to the ancient race this time," they mumbled inwardly. However, right at this moment...

    Bang!

    A huge thundering sound appeared in the sky. Numerous terrifying beams of light rushed out, and a cold voice echoed through the sky, "Divine Ancestor, get your ass out here!"

    Bang!

    What a powerful entry!

    The Divine Ancestor frowned. "Sage?!" He was not afraid of the Sage. However, the timing of the Sage¡¯s appearance...

 Chapter 395: Eruption of War!

    Chapter 395: Eruption of War!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The Divine Ancestor was somewhat anxious. "Have they noticed something?"

    Shua!

    He tossed Chen Feng¡¯s group somewhere hidden and said, "The three of you stay here and wait."

    Bang!

    Stepping into the void, the Divine Ancestor soared up.

    The Divine Ancestor bellowed, "Sage! Do you not know that your act ofing here is akin to a deration of war?"

    The Sage sneered. "So what if I¡¯m dering war? "The both of us will have a battle sooner orter. Do you think that I have no idea why are you preparing this army of yours? Haha, since you are intending to battle, why not battle right now?"

    Bang!

    The space midair cracked, revealing the void behind.

    "All the ancient race members, attack!"

    Bang!

    Instantly, thunderous sounds filled the sky and dazzling radiance appeared without stop. Both these powers had constantly been at conflict, and numerous minor wars had happened. However, they had never imagined that the ancient race would dere an all-out war this early. What would the Devil King do now? There were more than two powers in this world. If they started an all-out war, wouldn¡¯t the Devil King be the one who profited from their war? Had the ancient race gone crazy?

    Bang!

    The first wave of ancient invaders was defeated.

    The Divine Ancestor was furious. "Sage! If we fight, are you not afraid that the Devil King will profit from this?"

    The Sage¡¯s mouth curled up, forming a smile. "That person? They... hehe... will most probably perish, just like you guys?" the Sage toyingly said.

    The Divine Ancestor¡¯s expression sank. "What?" Only now did he realize that this damnable Sage had actually attacked both the barbarians and the Devil King at the same time.

    The Sage¡¯s gaze was cold. "Dirty species like you guys are, after all, not something that belong in this world. Then... let me purify the world of all of you!"

    Bang!

    With a dazzling radiance, all the ancient race members erupted in power. The numerous radiances were so powerful they caused one¡¯s heart to palpitate.

    The Divine Ancestor sneered. "Since you are courting death,e." They had been fighting the ancient race for several centuries. As such, he was clear on the strength of the ancient race. Let alone attacking two powers simultaneously, even if they were only attacking a single power...

    Suddenly, from the ancient race¡¯s camp, a huge crossbow could be seen being pushed out slowly. That was a huge crossbow that was several tens of meters in size. Every singleponent or string on the crossbow was shimmering with a gold radiance. It seemed to be a crossbow produced from energy, filled with an rming power.

    "What¡¯s that?"

    The Divine Ancestor¡¯s expression changed.

    The Sageughed malevolently. "This? I have named it the Godkilling Crossbow!"

    Shua!

    The Sage waved his hand coldly.

    Bang!

    A terrifying pir of gold appeared, seemingly piercing through heaven and Earth. The gold radiance shot out of the crossbow seemingly separated the entire world into two, leaving only that resplendent gold radiance existing in between heaven and Earth.

    Pu!

    The gold beam pierced through the Divine Ancestor, nailing him firmly to the ground.

    "Howl¡ª"

    The Divine Ancestor started struggling frantically as the earth trembled from his struggles.

    However, regardless of how strong he was, that terrifying gold radiance was unmoving, and it had him nailed firmly to the ground. At this time, once again, the Sage moved.

    "Although the Godkilling Crossbow can¡¯t kill you, it is able to stop you from moving," the Sage stated coldly. "Next, I shall be making my move!"

    Bang!

    The Sage stepped out. Apanied by the radiance that filled the sky, hended on the Divine Ancestor. Here, everything seemed to be changing. It was totally outside of Chen Feng¡¯s group¡¯s expectations that, right after issuing a mission to them, the Divine Ancestor would suffer a beating at the Sage¡¯s hand. From how things were progressing, the Divine Ancestor might very well fail to even escape this.

    That Godkilling Crossbow...

    Chen Feng raised his head and nced at the crossbow. It was indeed excessively astonishing. Merely the faint energy radiating from the crossbow was sufficient to cause one to tremble with fear. As for that so-called Sage, he truly greatly resembled a normal human, the only difference being the tail behind him.

    Mhm... an extremely long tail. Was this what the barbarians had mentioned previously? As for the rest of the ancient race members, at a cursory nce, many seemed to possess horse heads, some of them had the lower body of a snake, and some had eyes asrge as a fish¡¯s.

    These people... no, these life-forms are the so-called ancient race?

    Suddenly, a familiar term appeared in Chen Feng¡¯s brain: beastmen!

    Despite that morous name, "ancient race," they were essentially beastmen! The only difference from the beastmen he had read about in novels was that the beastman here were rather huge in variety and had a higher degree of mutation. These people here were what beastman truly looked like. Apart from that Sage, most of the ancient race members had a rather high degree of mutation.

    "Is their strength unrted to the degree of mutation?" Chen Feng guessed. However, right after this thought appeared...

    Bang!

    Apanied by a loud sound, the Sage stepped into the void and transformed into a huge bird with an extremely huge pair of wings and a long tail, signifying that he was in fact the one with the highest degree of mutation among the ancient race members.

    Bang!

    The strength of the transformed Sage surged rapidly. With this, the Divine Ancestor that had still been able to persevere with great difficulty under the Sage¡¯s attack was no longer able to hold on and was on the verge of dying. After getting nailed firmly to the ground by the crossbow before receiving the attack of the transformed Sage, the eventual fate of this Divine Ancestor was now clear.

    Chen Feng¡¯s group of three exchanged nces. "Go!"

    With the eruption of this war, the Divine Ancestor unable to move, the ancient race members and barbarians shing against each other, the entirety of the pce had sunk into chaos. At this moment, nobody was bothered with nobodies like them. Now was their best opportunity.

    Shua!

    Shua!

    They started charging frantically toward thend of legacy.

    "Yi?"

    Several ancient race members noticed them. Despite theck of the ancient race¡¯s aura on their body, from their appearance, they were definitely not barbarians. They concluded that several fellows with a low degree of mutation had joined this campaign of theirs. As such, they did not do anything to Chen Feng¡¯s group. As for the barbarians, they ignored Chen Feng¡¯s group as well. Even the asional barbarians that noticed them were aware that these three were the ones that their Divine Ancestor had summoned personally earlier and were on the same side as them.

    Therefore, amidst the chaotic battleground, Chen Feng¡¯s group was able to smoothly reach thend of legacy, the core area of the barbarians.

    Ka!

    Chen Feng sted the barrier apart and the three of them stepped inside.

    Hum¡ª

    A familiar energy started radiating dazzlingly.

    Along with the copse of a portion of the barrier, the pure energy contained within bloomed. Within thisnd of legacy was actually a huge amount of pure energy. The timing of the ancient race¡¯s arrival was simply too nice. After being attacked, the Divine Ancestor was unable to be bothered with them. This gave them a good opportunity to obtain the pure energy before transmigrating back home! What perfect timing!

    "Understood."

    Kong Bai walked toward the pure energy. However, surprisingly, at the same time, the faraway Sage seemingly noticed the activity here as well. He had seemingly noticed the pure energy contained here.

    The Sage pointed coldly. "Take it!"

    "Hua¡ª"

    A huge amount of ancient race members swarmed toward the pure energy.

    "Howl!!!"

    The furious barbarians wanted to resist, but with a wave of the Sage¡¯s hand, they were all stopped.

    Bang!

    The air started trembling. Apanied by a furious roar, a terrifying red dragon appeared.

    The Sage grinned. "You have finally appeared, the totem of the barbarians!"

    Bang!

    Bang!

    A red radiance started shining dazzlingly. At this instant, the air was seemingly separated by two expanses of red and white. On the ground, the formidable ancient race had already intruded into the city of the barbarians. Without their super-powerful Divine Ancestor, the strength of the barbarians was greatly weakened, and they were in no way a match for the ancient race.

    Bang!

    The barbarians were finally defeated. The barrier to thend of legacy shattered, and the ancient race members charged in.

    Chapter 396: War with Ancient Race!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng looked at Kong Bai. "Where¡¯s your Profitable Third Party ability?" At a time like this, when the ancient race and barbarians were battling each other, shouldn¡¯t The Profitable Third Party be greatly effective? If it worked nicely, it might possibly cause both sides to suffer damage.

    Kong Bai smiled bitterly. "It¡¯s ineffective. I tried earlier. The difference in their strength is too huge."

    Chen Feng was rmed. "Too huge a difference?" How was that possible? The ancient race and barbarians had been at odds for so many years, neither of them gaining the upper hand. They should obviously be evenly matched. Otherwise, the barbarians would have been wiped out long ago. Even if the ancient race seemed more powerful, they only had a single Sage. As for the barbarians, even if they appear somewhat weaker, they had the Divine Ancestor and the red dragon at their side. Therefore... they should be evenly matched!

    Even if the Divine Ancestor was heavily damaged, he shouldn¡¯t bepletely helpless against the ancient race, right? With Kong Bai¡¯s ability of enhancing one party¡¯s strength by 20% and reducing one party¡¯s strength by 20%, it was not something as simple as a difference of 40%¡ªit was actually a difference of a party with 120%bat power against a party with only 80%bat power! Even with that, the tides of the war couldn¡¯t be reversed?

    Moreover, the requirements for activating Kong Bai¡¯s ability were rather low. As long as one party didn¡¯t possess abat power two or three times that of the other party, Kong Bai¡¯s ability would be effective. How was it failing now?

    Unless...

    Chen Feng stared toward the center of the ancient race¡¯s camp.

    There, the gold Godkilling Crossbow was shining dazzlingly. Even after the crossbow had been used earlier, it was still emitting a power that caused one¡¯s heart to palpitate.

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze sharpened. "Luck Aura, activate! I want the details of that thing."

    Shua!

    Ten points of luck value were consumed, and the details of Godkilling Crossbow were transmitted to Chen Feng.

    ----

    Name: Godkilling Crossbow

    Ability: Shoots out a divine arrow, unleashing the entire soul aura to deal a certain degree of damage depending on the amount of soul aura umted. It is also able to bind the target to the same spot.

    Soul Aura: By absorbing the souls of the deceased, soul aura can be formed. The higher the amount of the enemies killed, the more powerful the soul aura will be. After umting a certain amount of soul aura, a divine arrow can be formed.

    ----

    Using the method most familiar to himself, Chen Feng obtained the details of that crossbow. However, the result... soul aura? Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. The scene of that single attack from the crossbow was still vivid in his memory. A magnificent Divine Ancestor had been directly heavily injured. Such a formidable power, how high was the amount of umted soul aura? How many lives had this Sage reaped? These lives... were they all enemies? No wars had erupted recently. The barbarians would definitely not have allowed the ancient race members to ughter their members. As such, it was quite possible that the ancient race had been ughtering their own!

    In other words, the Sage had killed a huge amount of his own just to heavily damage the Divine Ancestor and eliminate the barbarians? Only by doing this had the Godkilling Crossbow been able to unleash such power. What was scary was the fact that, even now, that crossbow was still umting its power. What ce was this? A battlefield!

    The elites of the barbarians and the ancient race were dying without stop. As such, the power being absorbed by the Godkilling Crossbow was increasing at an unprecedented rate. At this speed, it wouldn¡¯t be long before the Godkilling Crossbow was once again ready for use. At that time, its target might very well be that dragon. No wonder Kong Bai¡¯s Profitable Third Party had failed.

    By this point, Chen Feng¡¯s group had finally figured out how the barbarians had been eliminated. Ancient race? Chen Feng¡¯s group of three inhaled deeply.

    Chen Feng said. "The barbarians won¡¯t be able to hold on much longer."

    Kong Bai sighed. "I know." From the moment his ability had failed, he had been aware of the result of this battle.

    Hua!

    Hua!

    Presently, the ancient race members were already charging into thend of legacy and were heading straight toward the pure energy. They werepletely uninterested in the barbarian¡¯s legacy and were not bothered with making a move against Chen Feng¡¯s group. Their only target was the pure energy. This was a power any life-form could utilize. This was the root of life!

    Kong Bai¡¯s expression was unsightly. "What should we do?" He had initially nned to absorb the energy in secret before transmigrating away. Now, though, it seemed his thoughts had truly been too naive. These ancient race members would definitely not allow Chen Feng¡¯s group to take their spoils of war. This pure energy was thergest spoil of this war started by the ancient race.

    A group of excited ancient race members charged toward the pure energy.

    Howl! Howl!

    The three of them exchanged nces. "What to do?" Each of them could feel an intense sense of danger.

    Chen Feng inhaled and said, "We don¡¯t have much time left. Now, only some regr troops of the ancient race are here. The moment those true experts currently entangled in the battle are able to spare some of their time, or perhaps when that Sage is done with whatever he¡¯s doing..."

    Kong Bai and Qin Hai understood what he was trying to say. At that time, the three of them would be in true despair. As for now...

    Kong Bai¡¯s gaze was sharp. "Start killing, then. I have transmigrated through countless worlds. I have been to countless worlds even more dangerous than this ce. A mere beastman, what¡¯s there to be afraid of?"

    Chen Feng looked at Qin Hai. "How about you?"

    Qin Hai only replied with one word. "Battle!"

    "Good. Then let us begin!" Chen Feng¡¯s blood started boiling. It had been a long time since he¡¯d had such a feeling.

    Pu! Pu! Pu!

    The three of them moved at the same time. Instantly, the ancient race members passing by beside them copsed like grass being mowed.

    ?!

    The rest of the ancient race members were rmed. Instantly, they noticed these three people who were somewhat bizarre due to resembling the ancient race yet seeming somewhat different at the same time. So these three were enemies?

    A nearby ancient race member reacted. "Kill!"

    Bang! Bang!

    Groups of ancient race members charged at Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    Chen Feng¡¯s group had no fear.

    "Come!"

    These regr soldiers were at most C ss. As far as Chen Feng¡¯s group was concerned, killing these weaklings was as easy as mowing grass. All three of them were able to easily defeat all their opponents. They started pushing in while ughtering all the enemies they encountered along the way toward their goal, the pure energy.

    Presently, at the battlefield, arge majority of the ancient race members were concentrating on battling the barbarians. However, some of them still noticed what was happening in thend of legacy. A certain ancient race expert nced at that direction coldly before saying, "You guys, go there." He pointed at Chen Feng¡¯s group of three. "Kill those three."

    "Yes."

    A chilly radiance shimmered amidst the darkness. Just as Chen Feng¡¯s group was about to finish killing all the normal soldiers around them, suddenly, a terrifying killing intent descended upon them. The three of them were only barely able to evade the iing attack.

    Shua! Shua! Shua!

    More than ten dark silhouettes descended from the sky. These neers were a unique species among the ancient race members. Each of them had a pair of bat-like wings behind them, and their speed was as fast as lightning, so fast one nearly couldn¡¯t catch a glimpse of them when they were moving. This was the Lightning Squad of the ancient race.

    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

    The ck silhouettes moved around, leaving afterimages everywhere. Numerous bloody scars started appeared on the faces of Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    Chen Feng had a deep gaze. "They noticed us?"

    "B ss!" Kong Bai said as he wiped the bloodstains from his face.

    Qin Hai¡¯s killing intent surged. "Just kill them."

    At this point, they had no other option. Earlier, when they had been killing those ordinary soldiers, they had been able to advance while killing. Now, though, they were facing a unique squad. As such, they first had to kill the neers before they could continue advancing. Otherwise, these neers would be able to exhaust them to death.

    Whoosh! Whoosh!

    Cold radiances flickered without stop. Chen Feng¡¯s group wanted to kill those neers as soon as possible so they could continue advancing, but not much time passed before a huge amount of experts started streaming toward them unendingly. It was apparent that the number of ancient race members around them was increasing in amount.

    After killing one group, a new group would appear to give their lives away? Something so stupid did not seem like a mistake the ancient race would make. In fact, after they had witnessed how Chen Feng¡¯s group fought, they had first deployed the Lightning Squad, the group with the fastest speed, to hold them back. Next, they deployed some elite squads over. Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s group sunk into an impasse. They had no way out! The ancient race was much smarter than they had imagined!

 Chapter 397: Space-Time Aisle

    Chapter 397: Space-Time Aisle

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Pu! Pu!

    Chen Feng¡¯s group of three was already covered in bloody scars. The intelligence and strength of these ancient race members had greatly exceeded their expectations. Seeing how the ancient race members couldn¡¯t beat Chen Feng¡¯s group, they had shifted from outright fighting to trying to exhaust Chen Feng¡¯s group here.

    Pu!

    A brand new scar had just appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s body. As Chen Feng raised his head and looked over, a huge amount of reinforcements for the ancient race members had already appeared. Far away, that huge red dragon was being pressed down by the Sage and was being used to wipe the ground, seeming to only have a final breath left. As for the barbarian army, they were simrly struggling at death¡¯s door from the continuous attacks of the ancient race. The gloomy sky seemed to be covered by a boundless fog, and the shouts of thebatants could be heard from the direction of those light rays that could be discerned from the dusky region.

    Bang!

    A dazzling explosion erupted beside Chen Feng. A rtively powerful ancient race warrior at A ss had finally arrived. That warrior¡¯s terrifying attack started descending as a choking power enveloped Chen Feng¡¯s group of three.

    Are we going to die now?

    Their hearts tightened. Transmigration? Before absorbing the pure energy, Kong Bai was simply incapable of activating this ability. Fight back? What could the three that were already tired and exhausted, both physically and mentally, use to fight back? That terrifying power descended from the sky, and the stifling and formidable powernded on their body.

    Can we not hold on any longer? Sigh. Apanied by a sigh, Qin Hai walked out. He was nning to use his body to block this iing attack. However, Chen Feng stopped him.

    Huh?

    Kong Bai and Qin Hai turned around to look at Chen Feng. Chen Feng stepped out and blocked in front of both of them. In a serene manner, he stretched his hand out.

    Their expressions changed slightly. "What are you nning to do?"

    "Hu¡ª"

    There was no reply from Chen Feng. He merely calmly stared at the iing attack. Since it had reached this point, there was only one method out of this. Luck Aura, activate!

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance started swirling around them. Once again, Chen Feng had activated his Luck Aura during a moment of crisis. As for what would result from this, nobody knew.

    Bang!

    That terrifying attacknded, causing a dazzling explosion. One point of luck value was reduced. Next, a certain item Chen Feng had on his body started flickering with light. Along with that, a gush of bizarre energy started spreading and a gentle energy enveloped the three of them.

    Shua!

    Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s group of three vanished from right where they stood.

    "YI?"

    The ancient race members were greatly rmed.

    "Escaped?"

    The newly arrived ancient race expert frowned and fixed his gaze at the direction Chen Feng¡¯s group had disappeared from. He concentrated his gaze for a short period of time, but he couldn¡¯t find any trace of them.

    "Where have the three of you escaped to?"

    At this time, Chen Feng¡¯s group of three merely felt their vision blur before they appeared at an unfamiliar ce.

    "Where is this?"

    The three of them looked at this environment that was aplete stranger to them.

    Kong Bai was astonished. "Have we escaped?" Chen Feng still had this up his sleeve? Space teleportation?

    Qin Hai was looking at Chen Feng as well. "I think so."

    "I have no idea either."

    Chen Feng took out the item that had worked at thest minute, and with astonishment, he found that it was that very figurine of the youngdy he had obtained in the past. Earlier, this had been the item that was flickering with light before sending them here. But why? Even with the effect of Luck Aura, this shouldn¡¯t have been what happened. Based on his memories, this figurine, this youngdy, should possess the power of time. An act of space teleportation like this...

    Chen Feng shook his head before putting the figurine away, "Forget it. Let¡¯s hide ourselves somewhere safe before talking any further."

    "Mhm."

    The other two nodded their heads, However, just as they was about to leave, their hearts jolted abruptly. When they looked at the environment around them, something felt off. This ce...

    Shua!

    A bitingly cold breeze could be felt, and the world was seemingly filled with interwoven fog. On the ground, ruins asionally appeared. On top of that, traces of erased diagrams depicting the ancient race could be seen as well. This familiar scene...

    "Have we returned?"

    Kong Bai dared not believe this. This was obviously thend of legacy! Not the ancientnd of legacy, rather, thend of legacy of the present barbarians whose civilization was no longer prosperous.

    "How..."

    Kong Bai was shocked. Apart from him, Chen Feng was also capable of transmigration? No, no, no, this did not make sense. Kong Bai was somewhat stupefied. Just like that, they had returned? He looked at Chen Feng. Evidently, Chen Feng was bewildered as well.

    Returned? Wait. If it was the figurine... that youngdy clearly possessed the power of time. As such, if this was the doings of that youngdy, it was reasonable that she was capable of returning them back to their original timeline. However, was this a feat even a figurine depicting her could aplish as well? Chen Feng could not believe this.

    Qin Hai was curious as well. "What on earth happened?" In an absurd manner, the three of them had returned. However, they kept having a feeling that something was off.

    Suddenly, Kong Bai said, "Wait, look."

    Shua!

    The other two looked over. On the ground, a huge crater could be seen. From the shape, this seemed to be the crater that was created when that ancient race expert was attacking Chen Feng¡¯s group. In other words... this ce...

    Shua!

    The three of them shifted their gaze in unison. This was exactly the same ce they had been at earlier; they had merely transmigrated back to their point in time. However, their location was still the same. The only difference was that only ruins were now left here back in the future.

    "We have only transmigrated through time instead of transmigrating through space?"

    Chen Feng was about to say something when, suddenly, the figurine shed with a faint radiance.

    Before the three of them could react to this change, to their astonishment, the scene where a chilly breeze rustled around vanished. The eerily silent surroundings started moring once again.

    "It¡¯s them!"

    "They reappeared!"

    "Damn it, kill them!"

    Numerous voices filled with killing intent traveled to their ears. When they got a clear look at what was around them, their expressions changed greatly. Far away, the soldiers of the ancient race noticed them and were charging at them. As for the expert of the ancient race, he was furiously flying straight toward them as a terrifying power emerged midair.

    "Die!"

    Bang!

    A formidable power started descending. At this moment, Chen Feng¡¯s group was still somewhat dumbfounded. What exactly was going on? They had returned to this ce again? This...

    "Could it be..."

    Chen Feng looked at the figurine in his hand before looking at the iing attack. Next, he thought of what had happened earlier. Suddenly, he thought of something, and an understanding surfaced in his brain. If his guesses were correct...

    With the figurine in his hand, Luck Aura, activate!

    Hum¡ª

    A radiance shed past. Once again, that terrifying attacknded on nothing! Chen Feng¡¯s group had once again vanished without a trace.

    "Yi?"

    "Escaped again?" the ancient race soldiers stated indignantly.

    As for the ancient race expert, he fixed his gaze on the spot they had vanished from and said, "You guys continue retrieving the pure energy. Leave this ce to me. I want to see how long those three can hide."

    At this time, Chen Feng¡¯s group only felt their vision blur before, once again, they returned to the ruins of thend of legacy. On the ground, an additional crater that was the result of the ancient race expert¡¯s bombardment had appeared. In Chen Feng¡¯s hand, that figurine was still flickering with a bright radiance.

    "Go!"

    He dragged Qin Hai and Kong Bai and left this position speedily, quickly arriving somewhere several hundred meters away from their previous position.

    Shua!

    The radiance emitted by the figurine disappeared. Apanied by a sh, space started transforming, and once again, they reappeared at thend of legacy surrounded by ancient race soldiers. This time, they were several hundred meters away from their previous position. Rather than appearing at the exact same spot they had vanished from previously, they had reappeared at the spot they had traveled to.

    Chen Feng stared at the figurine in his hands. "So this is your true power?"

 Chapter 398: A Cheating Transmigration Ability

    Chapter 398: A Cheating Transmigration Ability

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At thend of legacy, the ancient race expert was filled with doubt as he stared at the distant Chen Feng¡¯s group of three. Those three had obviously vanished where he was. However, when they had reappeared, they had already been several hundred meters away. He had no clue how they had moved. Space teleportation? A concealment ability? He was unable to make sense of it.

    However, no matter what, this would not hinder him killing them. Regardless of the bizarre abilities they had, he only needed to kill them and everything would be clear.

    Shua!

    His body streaked out and once again charged at them. This time, he was somewhat far away from them. However, with his current strength, he only needed a single instant to reach them, yet this single instant was sufficient for Chen Feng¡¯s group to react to his charge.

    "Go!"

    They managed to barely evade the attack of the expert.

    Bang!

    At the ce they had stood previously, a dazzling explosion erupted. A countless amount of ancient race members were killed by this ancient race expert.

    "Hmph!" The expert merely snorted and said, "Kill!"

    Once again, he charged at them.

    Chen Feng merely smirked coldly. "Hehe."

    Shua!

    With a nonchnt wave of his hand, when the expert was about to reach them, the three of them vanished once again.

    Bang!

    Another attack missed.

    "Damn it!" That expert was furious. "Get your asses out here!"

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Countless attacks startednding on the spot Chen Feng¡¯s group had vanished from. Numerous clumps of terrifying energy exploded without stop. A crater several tens of meters deep was left in the ground. However, those three had seemingly vanished from the face of earth.

    The expert was shocked. "How is this possible?" He couldn¡¯t wrap his head around this. Why were those few weaklings escaping from him? This was obviously something that was not supposed to happen. Red light shed in his eyes. "You all... can¡¯t escape me."

    At this time, at the ruins of thend of legacy, apanied by a faint radiance, Chen Feng¡¯s group of three appeared. Once again, they returned.

    Chen Feng¡¯s mouth curled up, forming a smile. "It indeed works." Earlier, he had only returned there to verify his guess; he had indeed guessed correctly. With thebination of his Luck Aura and the figurine, he was able to traverse as he wished between thend of legacy of the past and thend of legacy of the present. Granted, he wouldn¡¯t be able to stay here too long. However, this was already sufficient for him.

    Kong Bai and Qin Hai were still confused. "What¡¯s going on?"

    "You can transmigrate as well?" Qin Hai eximed in admiration.

    Kong Bai was staring at Chen Feng in shock as well. Qin Hai was a person whocked knowledge about the numerous aspects of transmigration. However, Kong Bai was extremely clear on them.

    What Chen Feng was doing was not as simple as transmigration. Although he could transmigrate as well, the limitations were extremely harsh. Moreover, he might not be able to return from his transmigrations, but Chen Feng¡¯s version of transmigration... he could transmigrate as he wished!

    With a wave of his hand, he transmigrated. With another wave, he f*cking returned! Who was the actual main character here? Kong Bai felt powerless to even berate this unfairness.

    "This is only traveling between two different points in time," Chen Feng answered calmly. Presently, he did not have much time to exin to them. As such, he chose to simplify his exnation. "I am able to return temporarily. The duration being..." He checked the timer on his wristband. "One minute."

    Instinctively, both Kong Bai and Qin Hai looked over at Chen Feng¡¯s timer as well. On his wrist, the screen hovered midair and the permission was set to public. With that, they were able to easily see the time indicated on the timer.

    Fifty eight! Fifty nine! Sixty!

    Hum¡ª

    With a faint sh, the three vanished from where they were standing and returned to the ancientnd of legacy.

    The expert was still waiting for them there. "You have indeed returned! Come and die!"

    Bang!

    With a loud sound, the expert that had been preparing himself all this while erupted with an incredibly powerful might!

    Bang!

    The ground started trembling, and a terrifying power started surrounding Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    "Careful!" Kong Bai cried out in rm. Chen Feng merely gave the attack a single apathetic nce before nonchntly waving his hand.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around the, and once again, the three returned to the ruins. Kong Bai and Qin Hai exchanged nces. "..."

    What was this?

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "We have one minute."

    "Seems like we can now reach our goal easily," Kong Bai eximed in admiration.

    With such a divine ability, wasn¡¯t reaching their goal an extremely easy thing to do now? Regardless of how powerful the experts of the ancient race were, could they interrupt what Chen Feng¡¯s group did out here?

    Hehe.

    "Go."

    Chen Feng was high spirited. Amidst the chilly wind, the three vanished amid the ruins at thend of legacy. However, thisnd of legacy was, after all, still a ceden with danger. Going through these ruins were not such a simple matter after all. Before even half a minute of traveling forth, they encountered enemies. The enemies were barbarians that were returning from their explorations.

    "Howl!"

    As the group of barbarians saw the energy barrier around Chen Feng¡¯s group, they started going crazy. As far as they were concerned, only those elemental life-forms possessed energy here in this ce. In their eyes, Chen Feng¡¯s group had transformed into NPCs.

    Howl!

    With a resounding howl, several barbarians charged at them angrily. All the barbarians were B ss. Chen Feng¡¯s group would have no fear if it was a one on one match, but now that there were more than 10 of them?

    "Retreat!"

    They retreated speedily. However, this was the home ground of the barbarians! These barbarians had explored this area innumerable times. As such, they were extremely clear on every nook and corner of this ce. As for Chen Feng¡¯s group, they were the ones who were unfamiliar with this ce. After less than 10 seconds of fleeing, they were surrounded by the barbarians with no way out.

    The barbarians roared proudly.

    "Howl¡ª"

    The three of them were surrounded by a group of barbarians, and Kong Bai was maintaining their energy barrier with great difficulty.

    Chen Feng nced at him. "Persevere." He lightly stated, "One second... two seconds... three seconds... It¡¯s time!"

    Shua!

    Light swirled around them, and the three vanished instantly. Unfortunately, in the blink of an eye, the three that had just escaped the barbarians were now looking at the ancient race expert that was staring at them viciously.

    Kong Bai¡¯s expression darkened. "Shit."

    Chen Feng pulled them and escaped hastily. "Go!"

    One second... two seconds... three seconds...

    Bang!

    The fatal attack of the ancient race expert descended.

    Shua!

    The three vanished yet again. At this time, within the ruins, the barbarians that were still confused due to the vanishing act of Chen Feng¡¯s group noticed their reappearance not far away.

    "Howl!"

    With a bellow, the barbarians charged at them.

    "Damn!" Kong Bai howled. Why were things like this? Even when they were able to transmigrate as they wished, they were still being chased on both sides? Run, run, run! The three fled frantically. Unfortunately for them, even if the barbarians only knew to follow behind them, the ancient race members were not idiots. After being tricked several times by Chen Feng¡¯s group, the expert was able to figure out the route Chen Feng¡¯s group was taking soon after. Astonishingly, the three were also heading toward the pure energy. In other words, regardless of how many times they vanished and reappeared, they were heading toward the pure energy in a straight line from where they had initially vanished. Their ultimate target was the pure energy as well.

    The expert sneered. "If so, things are much easier to deal with."

    He stopped moving and concentrated his attention on this straight route, awaiting the reappearance of Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    The expert calcted the time. "It¡¯s nearly time." He was unsure of the exact time, but he had some rough guesses on the time it would take for Chen Feng¡¯s group to reappear. On top of that, he had also managed roughly guess the spot they would reappear at. All that was left...

    Hum¡ª

    He felt an undtion somewhere.

    "Now!"

    The expert erupted instantly.

    Bang!

    A formidable attack was instantly unleashed. The figures that had reappeared vanished instantly, but in the air, blood sttered around.

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The expert sneered. "Gotcha!" Although the three had not revealed themselves, he could see the blood wafting through the air. His assumptions were indeed correct: the ultimate goal of those three was indeed the pure energy.

    "Truly splendid..." The expert nted his head and said, "How long can you three little fellows survive? Hehehe..."

    He startedughing nastily. Since he had already discovered the secret of their vanishing act, they no longer had any way out. At this time, at the ruins, after a single flicker, Chen Feng¡¯s group vanished before reappearing again a short momentter. This time, though, all three of them were gravely injured.

    Pu!

    Chen Feng was spitting blood without stop. None of them had imagined that the moment they appeared there they would encounter such a powerful attack.

    "Damn it."

    The blood of both Kong Bai and Qin Hai seemed to be boiling, causing them extreme difort.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Our luck was seen through." The act of traversing between two different points in time was indeed powerful. However, the moment the route they took was seen through by an enemy who then waited for them at the position they were going to reappear, a fatal blow was able to be dealt to them.

    "This won¡¯t do..." Chen Feng muttered. What was worse was the fact that, at the same time, footsteps could be hearding toward them distantly. Those barbarians were currently chasing after them in excitement. Evidently, these barbarians were thinking that Chen Feng¡¯s group was some hidden boss NPC for them to defeat.

    "Things are getting troublesome."

    The three exchanged nces. They found this problem of theirs rather thorny.

    At the ancientnd of legacy, the ancient race expert was waiting for them. Here at the ruins, the barbarians were hunting them as well. This super-cheat ability of transmigration was actually being countered so badly by these people! What to do? Chen Feng¡¯s head ached.

    Kong Bai shrugged. "I can onlyst for 10 seconds maximum."

    Hum¡ª

    The mini blue ball appeared and started leaping around him. In all honesty, if it wasn¡¯t for the unlimited energy supply, they would have been dead due to overexertion long ago. However, despite the unlimited energy supply, they wouldn¡¯t be able tost long under the attacks of all these barbarians.

    Ten seconds...

    Chen Feng checked the time before looking at the barbarians that were charging toward them.

    Hunting... ancient race expert...

    His thoughts started racing. They seemed to be in a conundrum presently. To survive the attacks of these barbarians, they could only step into a different point of time. However, at the other point of time... there was another terrifying expert waiting for them. Moreover, that expert, all prepared and waiting for them, was much more terrifying than these clueless barbarians over here.

    That guy... Chen Feng started pondering. That guy had already figured out their route and was camping the route to the energy supply. As long as they continued on the same route, they would most certainly be discovered by that expert once they reappeared there. The only solution was to move in a different direction. Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted.

    Yes, why not change direction? Abruptly, Chen Feng looked right. There, an abandoned tunnel could be seen. After the destruction of this ce, that tunnel had transformed into a blockaded hole. Apart from giving one shelter from the wind and rain, it no longer had any other uses. Anyone else would definitely die if they escaped into the tunnel. However, for Chen Feng¡¯s group...

    "Let¡¯s go!"

    Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Feng led them into the depths of the tunnel.

    "Howl!"

    The barbarians chased after them. At the sight of them entering the tunnel, the barbarians became excited at the prospect of their prey transforming into a turtle in a jar. Within this hole, there was only one exit. They only needed to block this exit and those preys would most definitely die!

    "Haha."

    The group of barbarians charged down. However, when they entered the tunnel, they were bbergasted to find that the tunnel waspletely empty! Chen Feng¡¯s group of three had once again vanished.

    At this time, in the ancientnd of legacy, the ancient race expert was still waiting on the route heading toward the pure energy. His powerful senses were concentrated on this route, waiting for the reappearance of Chen Feng¡¯s group. Somewhat surprisingly, even when the estimated time had arrived, those three were still nowhere to be seen. He continued waiting for a short while, yet nobody appeared.

    He was somewhat surprised. "They can remain separated for a longer duration?" He had previously concluded that this ability of theirs was something akin to a separation. Those three would be able to conceal their body and aura, separating themselves from this world and hiding within the void. This was an ability he had seen before. Despite its prowess, the duration of separation was normally fixed. He decided to wait at the same spot. After another 10 seconds had passed, he started to feel like something wasn¡¯t right. Suddenly, somewhere far away, chaos erupted.

    He could clearly see that, one kilometer away from him, those thee had suddenly walked out of a certain tunnel and were charging toward the pure energy.

    "It¡¯s them!"

    He frowned. Those bastards had indeed changed their direction!

    Shua!

    The expert charged over speedily. However, those three were truly quite far from him this time. Moreover, those three were charging forth directly rather than traveling in a straight line toward the pure energy. As such, he only managed to reach them after quite a while. Unfortunately, just as he reached them, they vanished suddenly.

    He was speechless. "Separated again."

    Those three had evidently seen through his strategy. As such, they had deliberately changed their direction. Those three were obviously much smarter than those idiotic barbarians. Presently, among the ruins, a joyful expression had appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    Sess! As long as they avoided the area the expert was waiting at, he would have no idea where they would reappear next. Not only that, they had also managed to shake off the barbarians over here as well.

    If so... let¡¯s begin!

    The three of them started searching for bunkers around them or ces that were rather different from the other side. The numerous abandoned potholes they found became their most optimal options. They might appear to the left side, or they might appear to the right side... or they might also travel in a straight line toward the pure energy. Their route of travel became elusive. As for the expert that was waiting for them, his expression became unsightly. The regr ancient race soldiers couldn¡¯t pose any threat toward those three. He was the only one capable of hurting them. But by himself...

    He was furious. "Hateful!"

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    One pothole after another was reduced to ruin. Those three were always able to appear from somewhere unexpected. He felt like a monkey that was being yed around with by them. One time... two times... three times...

    Finally, he stopped moving.

    Chasing after them in such a manner was now meaningless. He stared at the distant battlefield. Based on how it was progressing, before the ancient race could kill all the barbarians, those three would most definitely reach the pure energy. This was something he would not ept. That pure energy was their spoils of war!

    Heughed nastily. "Do you think that, using such a method, you can force me to give up?"

    Shua!

    Taking wide strides, he charged forth, heading directly toward the pure energy. Since he couldn¡¯t kill those three, he wouldn¡¯t bother with them anymore. Rather than wasting his time pursuing them, he might as well stay at the pure energy and wait for them toe to him. As long as those three were targeting the pure energy, they would most certainly appear there.

    "I shall be waiting."

    His ice cold voice was filled with killing intent. Presently, Chen Feng¡¯s group were feeling curious as to why was there nobody trying to stop them. Next, they felt a shocking and super-powerful aura appear where the pure energy was. The super-powerful aura seemed to pierce straight into the heavens itself.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "Guarding the tree stump to wait for the rabbit, huh?"

    Bang!

    Far away, a mournful whine resounded. That huge red dragon was now bathed in its own blood. As for the Sage, his aura had be increasingly terrifying. The barbarians were being beaten back endlessly. It was apparent that not much time was left for Chen Feng¡¯s group to retrieve the pure energy.

    At thend of legacy, the clump of pure energy was shimmering, attracting countless gazes. The ancient race expert was standing there, waiting for his prey to appear.

    Shua! Shua!

    He was paying attention to every single flicker in the air. Regardless of which angle it was that those three were nning to retrieve the pure energy from, they would still have to first appear here.

    "Condense!"

    He finished his preparations in advance. Within a circumference of a hundred meters, regardless of which side those three came from, they would not be able to escape his notice.

    Hum¡ª

    Suddenly, a ray of light appeared and started shining.

    "Here theye!"

    He concentrated.

    This angle... are they trying toe out from underground? How ridiculous!

    Bang!

    A terrifying radiance erupted. The powerful energy hammer that had condensed in his hand was directly smashed into the ground. With a resounding bang, a huge crater was created in the ground. However, nobody could be seen.

    He sneered. "They escaped again?" His opponents¡¯ separation ability was much more powerful than he had anticipated. However, it did not matter. As long as he stayed and guarded here, they would have no chance of obtaining the pure energy. He stared ahead and noted that the battle was about to end. How much longer could those three small fellows hide?

    Whoosh!

    A shadow shed past.

    He sneered. "Here we go again."

    Bang!

    The silhouette that had just appeared was immediately smashed back where it hade from.

    One time!

    Two times!

    Three times!

    ...

    He did not give them any chances. Ultimately, those people stopped trying.

    Presently, in the ruins of legacy that were many years in the future, helplessness was stered all over the faces of Chen Feng¡¯s group. Their n of silently arriving from underground had to be canceled. This was too difficult. Initially, when they had noticed that the expert was guarding aboveground, they had nned to approach from underground. Unexpectedly, the ancient race expert guarding there had even made sufficient preparations against any underground movements as well.

    That guy seemed to be a person with rich experience; evidently, he was not someone that could bepared with an ordinary person. Chen Feng¡¯s group had appeared there numerous times, yet every single time, they had been beaten back. Even with the thickyer of earth separating them from the expert providing a buffer that were enabling them to escape, however, after several tens of attempts, they had still failed to find a point of breakthrough. Regardless of which direction or angle they had chosen, they had failed to get past.

    Qin Hai sighed. "This is annoying."

    Kong Bai was feeling powerless to even berate this fate of theirs. "I feel like I¡¯m a mole getting smashed into the ground."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Wasn¡¯t this exactly like a game of whack a mole? The only difference was that the three of them were the moles this time. The moment a tiny bit of their aura appeared, they would be smacked by that energy hammer.

    This won¡¯t do...

    Chen Feng frowned. Brute force? This ancient race expert was too terrifyingly powerful. Chen Feng had no idea if they were his match. That was a peak A ss! At the present time, none of them had experienced actualbat against such a person.

    Kong Bai shrugged. "Under normal circumstances, I can only fight against a peak B ss at most."

    Qin Hai nodded. "Same here."

    Chen Feng sighed. "Me too."

    Apart from times when they made use of unique conditions or environments, with their strength, they could only face a peak B ss. Although Chen Feng had broken through to B ss, it was still too recent. As such, the increase in his spiritual energy was still rather low. On top of that, he had yet to fuse with his B-ss gic ability. As such, he was still incapable of fighting an A ss, let alone a peak A ss.

    "Let me think..."

    Chen Feng rubbed his head. Since they couldn¡¯t defeat that expert using normal methods, they had to think of some unique methods.

    Ancient race... Peak A ss...

    Chen Feng¡¯s brain raced. They couldn¡¯t stay here for long. The moment the duration was up, they would return to the ancientnd of legacy, where the ancient race expert was ready and waiting for them, regardless of which spot they choose to reappear at.

    "Why not directly appear on the pure energy?" Qin Hai proposed.

    Kong Bai vetoed that suggestion without the slightest hesitation. "No."

    "Why?" Qin Hai couldn¡¯t understand the reason for his rejection.

    Kong Bai sighed and said, "What¡¯s the point of appearing there? Are we giving our lives away? Even the act of absorbing the pure energy will take some time. We need to absorb a sufficient amount of pure energy before we can transmigrate. If we were to appear there directly..." Kong Bai pondered and then continued, "We would definitely be insta-killed."

    Qin Hai sunk into silence. This won¡¯t do either? Then what should we do?

    Suddenly, Chen Feng said, "That might not necessarily fail."

    "Huh?"

    The two looked at him in unison. With that expert guarding there, it was impossible for them to have any time to absorb the pure energy. With their strength, they couldn¡¯t drag out the time even if they wanted to. One second, that was the maximum time they couldst before dying.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng looked at Kong Bai. "Let me ask you. How much time will you require to absorb the energy?"

    "Me?" Kong Bai pondered and then answered, "For a single transmigration, with the degree of the stockpile at thend of legacy, I will only require 20 seconds."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone brightly. "Very good. Time to use it, then. Although we can¡¯tst too long facing that ancient race expert, who says that we must absolutely stay on that side to absorb the pure energy?" Chen Feng said with disdain in his tone.

    Bang!

    At thend of legacy, the ancient race expert was still waiting for the arrival of those three. Based on his calctions, they should be reappearing soon. With his powerful spiritual sense, every single nook and corner in a circumference of one kilometer was enveloped as he waited for their arrival. Right at this moment.

    Hum¡ª

    His acute spiritual sense picked up the trace of an aura. The position was... exactly below that pure energy! This time, they were actually nning to absorb the pure energy from beneath it?

    "How clever," he eximed in admiration before sneering shortly after. "Unfortunately, I took this factor into consideration as well."

    Shua!

    Instantly, his figure appeared underground.

    Bang!

    A bright radiance erupted from his hand.

    A powerful attack converged and was aimed straight at the spot right below the pure energy. However, right as his powerful attack was about tond, those three once again vanished.

    He frowned. "They escaped again?" Indeed, those enemies had been beaten back. However, he had an odd feeling. Feeling like something somewhere was off? Those three had not even stayed more than one second here; they should not have been able to do anything yet, right? He calmed himself.

    Shua!

    He spread his spiritual sense once again and waited for another chance to capture them. It was indeed as he had guessed. Those three reappeared once again shortly after. However, surprising the ancient race expert, they had still decided to reappear near the pure energy.

    Bang!

    With a nonchnt wave of his hand, his attack wasunched at them. Once again, they vanished. The ancient race expert frowned. Nothing seemed to be wrong, but he kept having an ufortable feeling. This feeling originated from the terrifying intuition he had obtained through countless years of tempering. Those three...

    Shua!

    One time.

    Two times.

    Three times.

    ...

    The ancient race expert ced his full attention on those three, looking for what was wrong, trying to figure out what they were nning, trying to figure out what their true goal was. He was also trying to kill them, to deal with this perfectly. Suddenly, after another wave of reappearing and disappearing, he finally figured out what was wrong. The pure energy was reducing!

    Shua!

    Abruptly, the ancient race expert soared to the sky. Looking down from high above, he nked as he noticed that the huge clump of pure energy had almost been emptied, leaving only an empty hull behind littered with holes. It was apparent that every single time those three had reappeared, they had forcefully taken a portion of the pure energy before vanishing. The current appearance of that hull left behind greatly resembled aical face that was looking sideways at the ancient race expert in disdain!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the ruins of legacy, Kong Bai was absorbing the final clump of pure energy in his hands. After transmigrating back and forth over 10 times, they had finally gathered a sufficient amount of pure energy. Naturally, the supply of pure energy there had almost all been retrieved by them.

    "This should be enough, right?" Qin Hai asked with a deep voice.

    Chen Feng nodded. "Mhm." Since they already had sufficient pure energy, their next step was transmigrating. They had arrived in the past purely by ident, and finally, they could return again. Although it was somewhat regretful that they had not obtained the legacy of the barbarians, the amount of things they had witnessed made this trip worth it anyway.

    Mhm... worth the price of the transmigration. It hadn¡¯t been easy for them to gather sufficient energy for transmigration.

    "It¡¯s too difficult," Chen Fengmented.

    "Even so, there¡¯s no need for you to turn the hull of the pure energy into an emoticon, right..." Qin Hai was too tired to even berate this. If Chen Feng wanted to take all the pure energy or leave, then just do it. Why had he insisted on leaving an empty shell there and turning it into an emoticon? That was too excessive. Qin Hai did not even need to imagine how angry that ancient race expert was. Mhm... the emoticon of the modern era was truly too hurtful.

    Chen Feng patted his shoulder and said while smiling, "This is calledical effect. You have to put some focus into the entertainment aspect of things."

    Surprising him, Qin Hai seemed to be somewhat absent-minded, seemingly thinking of something unknown and giving him an odd feeling. Was it because of hisbat power? Chen Feng sighed inwardly. He had no idea how he should precede withforting Qin Hai for something like that. Once upon a time, Qin Hai was a proud son of heaven. Even after he no longer had any energy and focused purely on his physical flesh, he was still simrly vicious and had off-the-chartsbat power. But now, he had been dealt this blow by Chen Feng and Kong Bai... Chen Feng truly wasn¡¯t too good atforting people.

    Chen Feng had only been able to say, "Don¡¯t think too much. After returning, we will think of something for you."

    Qin Hai shook his head. "Don¡¯t worry about it. I¡¯m not thinking about this. I¡¯m thinking about something else."

    "Good." Chen Feng stopped worrying. To deal with a matter that gnawed at one¡¯s mind, one had to rely on himself, after all. At this time, Kong Bai was gradually finishing his absorption of the pure energy.

    "Almost there," Kong Bai stated.

    Chen Feng became spirited. "Very good." Their next target would be transmigration. It was time for them to return. Due to this idental transmigration, they had gone through various dangers in the ancient time period. Finally, they could return!

    Goodbye... the deste ancient times.

    Kong Bai waved his hand. "Go!"

    Chen Feng activated his Luck Aura. "Luck Aura, activate!"

    "Transmigrate!" Kong Bai howled.

    Bang!

    Suddenly, a beam of light appeared, piercing straight to the heavens.

    They were currently temporarily staying at the ruins of legacy. If they were to transmigrate back to the current era, they should reappear at the same ce as well. Therefore, the actual purpose of this transmigration was to cancel the temporary duration they could remain here. This was the best result as far as they were concerned. Surprising all of them, right at this moment, the world consisted of the ruins of legacy stilled suddenly, and the whole world shattered like ss. At this instant, they actually returned to the ancientnd of legacy.

    Their expressions changed greatly. "Not good." They were back here again! Transmigrating... could it be that they would only be able to transmigrate when they were at the ancientnd of legacy? They had to return to the normal condition from their previous "semi-transmigrated" state before they could transmigrate normally? They were not aware of the answer. This was not something they had expected to happen.

    Bang! Bang!

    The terrifying light beam pierced straight into the heavens, attracting a lot of attention. At this instant, even the Sage at the faraway battleground was paying attention to what was happening over here. He only gave that ce a single nce, yet it was sufficient to cause killing intent to surge out of his eyes.

    Xiu!

    A terrifying radiance started streaking toward them.

    The ice-cold voice of the Sage was filled with bloodlust. "Stop them!"

    Bang!

    The sky itself started copsing. Time seemed to still at this instant. Kong Bai only required a brief amount of time to perform his transmigration. Based on his past experiences, only one second was required. Now, though, it would seem like they couldn¡¯t evenst one second here. The radiance resulting from their transmigration was simply too eye-catching.

    Bang!

    "Come and die!"

    The ancient race expert nearest to them was already charging at them. His eyes were filled with anger. It was apparent that he was losing his patience against these three that had been ying tricks on him for so long.

    "Chen Feng!" Kong Bai shouted.

    Hum¡ª

    A clump of energy condensed in Chen Feng¡¯s hands.

    Energy Equipment! Myriad Illusions¡ªBoosting Energy Equipment!

    At times like this, Chen Feng wasn¡¯t stingy with his luck value. He increased hisbat power as best as he could. However, he was aware of his strength. Even with an enhanced Energy Equipment...

    Qin Hai inhaled deeply. "Let me."

    The strongest ability of Chen Feng¡¯s was his Energy Equipment. This Energy Equipment could amplify his power by several times. However, Chen Feng¡¯sbat power was initially rather ordinary. As such, even with amplified power, peak B ss was the most he could fight. This was his limit. As for Qin Hai, without any energy or amplifiers, with his flesh alone, he could alreadybat a B ss. If so, if he was given the Energy Equipment...

    Shua!

    A boundless radiance started converging. The clothes on Qin Hai disintegrated as an Energy Equipment instantly assembled on his body.

    Shua!

    Qin Hai opened his eyes, eyes sharp as electricity. As he felt the surging power within his body, the terrifying amplifier of the Energy Equipment, he was filled with confidence. He was somewhat speechless with the way in which he had transformed like Sailor Moon, though.

    Bang!

    He swung his fist out. That terrifying attack of his almost copsed space itself.

    Bang!

    The void trembled.

    A trace of joy appeared in the eyes of the three of them. The attack had been blocked! It was somewhat forced, and it did not seem like it wouldst long, with Qin Hai being at the disadvantage in this sh, but he had ultimately blocked the iing attack, buying half a second of time for them.

    Shua!

    Radiance started converging around Kong Bai¡¯s body. The transmigration was going to start.

    However, right at this instant, from the single "kill" word, uttered by the faraway Sage, his terrifying intent started descending upon them.

    Ka!

    That terrifying intent swarmed them. A mere collision of their aura was sufficient to cause Kong Bai¡¯s radiance of transmigration to totter.

    Kong Bai¡¯s expression changed greatly. "Not good!" He was being suppressed! He had transmigrated countless times in the past, yet something like this had never happened. That radiance of transmigration that was nearly unstoppable was actually being suppressed by a single "kill" word.

    Hum¡ª

    The radiance of transmigration dimmed. The three that were supposed to be transmigrating were forcefully stopped then and there.

    "Damn it." Kong Bai gulped and anxiously stated, "The energy exhaustion is too huge. If this continues, soon, the energy for transmigration will be fully exhausted. At that time, we will..."

    Chen Feng clenched his teeth. "Let me try." He was not aware of the amount of luck value transmigrating would the require. As such, he had been holding back. Now, though, he could only put everything on the line. However, if his luck value was exhausted now, when they were transmigratingter and theycked luck value, it would be truly hrious. Perhaps the three of them would truly have to wander the universe then?

    Forget it.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. However, just as he was about to make his move, suddenly, Qin Hai spoke. "Hey, Chen Feng." Suddenly, Qin Haiughed. "Thank you."

    What? Chen Feng frowned. Why was he saying this at times like this?

    "You once rescued me... I am aware that you are trying to help me. That is the reason you always kept one set of gene reagents behind whenever you produced any breakthrough gene reagents. Any time you obtained anything good, you would get Hou Liang to give me some. I know I am not supposed to do this¡ªI should be surviving to repay you. However... I¡¯m sorry," Qin Hai mumbled.

    Bang!

    With a single punch, he pushed the ancient race expert back.

    "I am not resigned to this. I am not resigned to being a mere side character. I am not resigned to being your baggage! I... Qin Hai, am not supposed to be so useless!" Qin Hai bellowed angrily.

    Shua!

    Borrowing the Energy Equipment provided by Chen Feng, a familiar gold energy sword appeared in Qin Hai¡¯s hand. That dazzling sword was precisely the sword he had used to kill the dark freak previously!

    "Goodbye!"

    Abruptly, Qin Hai charged out.

    ng!

    At this moment, apanied by the crisp sound of the sword, the gold energy sword that was shining with an unprecedentedly bright radiance pierced through the heavens itself, shing toward the word "kill" that wasing at them.

    Bang!

    A dazzling explosion erupted.

 Chapter 402: I Am a Selfish Person

    Chapter 402: I Am a Selfish Person

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Qin Hai!" Chen Feng bellowed.

    Ka!

    The radiance that filled the sky¡ªthe suppression from the Sage¡ªcked a tiny bit. The power unleashed by Qin Hai with his very life and the support of the Energy Equipment was truly too astonishingly powerful. Even the intent released by the Sage cracked from it. The radiance of transmigration that had dimmed slightly once again shined an intense radiance.

    Bang!

    The radiance of transmigration pierced through the clouds and instantly enveloped both Chen Feng and Kong Bai. Numerous halos hovered around them, and instantly, the both of them vanished. Transmigration sessful!

    Bang!

    Space and time swirled around them endlessly.

    "Qin Hai!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was fixed at that silhouette what was gradually growing indistinct.

    That guy... how dare he...

    Chen Feng clenched his fists tightly. None of them had expected that Qin Hai would be the one to ultimately save them. This guy who was once a genius was still as much of a lofty and unyielding character even after losing his energy. Regardless of how difficult it was, he would still survive tenaciously. Chen Feng had once feared that Qin Hai would give up due to the blow dealt to him. Unexpectedly...

    He was not resigned to being baggage? He was not resigned to being useless? Even so, there was no need for him to do that! If Chen Feng had been allowed to use his luck value earlier, they might have still been able to escape. When that happened, they would have been able to transmigrate. With the power of the three of thembined, they would most definitely have been able to seek a brand new future for Qin Hai. It was truly unexpected that Qin Hai was so unyielding a person!

    So... you are still the Qin Hai of the past!

    Suddenly, Chen Feng recalled Qin Hai¡¯s words. Perhaps he had already seen thising? He had been keeping silent out of fear that Chen Feng would not agree with this n?

    Qin Hai... Without realizing it, had they been using Qin Hai as a bodyguard simply because he did not possess the power of luck like Chen Feng or the power of transmigration like Kong Bai? As Chen Feng recalled what had happened during this trip, every single time, it had been Qin Hai standing there at the forefront! Even so, Qin Hai had never onceined. And this time, to save them, he had stayed behind with the enemy!

    It did not need to be mentioned what would happen there. Those ancient race experts and that Sage whose intent had been cracked by Qin Hai would most definitely not let him off so easily.

    Qin Hai...

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled. At this moment, the void before them started copsing, and endless radiance swirled around them. This was the first time Chen Feng had transmigrated while maintaining his consciousness.

    Kong Bai sighed. "Don¡¯t be sad."

    Hum¡ª

    His unlimited energy supply was activated. Only this would ensure that Kong Bai could maintain their transmigration process. He hadn¡¯t known Qin Hai for long. As such, he wasn¡¯t too emotional about Qin Hai¡¯s sacrifice. However, Qin Hai had still sacrificed himself to save them, after all. It would seem like, from today onward, he would owe an eternal favor that he no longer had a chance of repaying. The strength of that person¡¯s will was indeed something one couldn¡¯t not respect!

    "Your luck is still required for this transmigration," Kong Bai said with a low voice. Although Qin Hai was dead, they still needed to stay alive.

    Chen Feng shut his eyes. "I know."

    Luck Aura was activated noiselessly. During the instant of their transmigration earlier, a huge amount of luck value had been exhausted. As such, the luck value required for the transmigration had already been consumed.

    The remaining luck value... Suddenly, Chen Feng opened his eyes abruptly.

    Kong Bai jumped from the scare. "What are you doing? Your sudden movement was rather shocking."

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was sharp. "Luck..." True, luck! Says who that Qin Hai will definitely die staying there? No, even if it¡¯s a fixed fate, that¡¯s not for sure!

    Chen Feng checked his remaining luck value. As they had stayed here for one whole month, he had umted several hundred points of luck value. Even after the transmigration, he still had 150 points remaining.

    "A hundred and fifty points is sufficient."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. Luck Aura, activate!

    Hum¡ª

    A power could be felt spreading noiselessly. If they had already returned to the gic era, he would have no way to alter the past. Now, though, they were still in the process of transmigrating, existing at no specific point of time. If so...

    Chen Feng sighed as hemanded his Luck Aura, "Take all the luck value and ensure Qin Hai¡¯s survival..."

    Shua!

    Instantly, his luck value waspletely exhausted. Next, Chen Feng slumped down weakly. Kong Bai held him up and asked with a low voice, "Are you fine?"

    Chen Feng shook his head. "I¡¯m fine."

    A bizarre radiance shed in Kong Bai¡¯s eyes. "You helped Qin Hai..."

    Chen Feng nodded slightly. "Mhm. As for his ultimate fate, it will have to depend on himself."

    Kong Bai sighed. "Is that so?" Luck was truly a magical power!

    At this time, they seemed to have reached the destination of their transmigration as well. The tunnel of transmigration started dimming, and in the distance, an exit shining with a white radiance could be seen.

    "Hopefully your luck works," Kong Bai said, inhaling deeply and suppressing his anxiousness, "in helping Qin Hai survive and in helping our escape!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was resolute. "It will."

    Bang!

    Their figures vanished amidst the white radiance. Presently, at thend of legacy, the huge battle had just ended. By the time that radiance vanished, nobody was left behind. As for Qin Hai, he was half kneeling on the ground, and the Energy Equipment on his body was no longer there. His clothing was torn all over, and his body was stained with blood. Looking at the spot where Chen Feng and Kong Bai had vanished, a smile appeared on his face.

    "Sess... Forgive me, Chen Feng," Qin Hai said with a smile.

    The outsiders all said that he was a person who cared deeply about friendships and rtionships. However, Qin Hai felt that he was instead a rather selfish person. The reason he had cared so deeply about friendships and rtionships was simply to keep his heart clear. An example was what had happened this time. If he had allowed Chen Feng to die in front of him, that would instead have been something he would find hard to ept. After all, he owed Chen Feng way too much. As for now...

    Mhm. He had a clear conscience, being the one left behind. As for Chen Feng and Kong Bai, if those two truly survived this, they would feel guilty forever, right? This was an eternal favor, a favor they could no longer repay! An eternal debt!

    Ka! Ka!

    Around him, heavy footsteps resounded.

    The ancient race expert that had been pushed back by him was rushing over, and numerous ancient race soldiers appeared around him as well. They were all fully armed and had Qin Hai surrounded, yet none of them dared to move. The only reason for that was because Qin Hai had managed to shatter the intent unleashed by the Sage earlier, even if it was only in the form of a single word.

    Finally, the ancient race expert arrived. "You deserve to be killed." His eyes were filled with fury and his killing intent was surging. He had never expected that, with his strength, he would be yed around with by these weaklings. Ultimately, two of them had still managed to escape. This was intolerable! As for this one guy who had been left behind...

    The attack of the furious ancient race expert started descending. "Die!"

    Qin Haiughed heartily. "Haha. Come." Facing death, he had instead be more steadfast. If a next life truly existed, he wanted to be a main character as well!

    Bang!

    Midair, a radiance caused by a collision of energies bloomed, and blood sttered around. At this time, the faraway Sage was merely watching on coldly. He was rather astonished that Qin Hai was able to crush his consciousness. However, that was all he felt, a small amount of astonishment.

    However, right at this moment, suddenly, a scene appeared before his eyes, a scene that he had been hiding in his heart for a very long time.

    "Why... have I suddenly thought of him?" Suddenly, the Sage looked toward Qin Hai. "Is it because of you? That must be so. You two resemble each other greatly, after all... Perhaps this is fate."

    The Sage sighed.

    Hum¡ª

    With a wave of his hand, all the energy there dissipated. With astonishment, Qin Hai watched on as the energy that had been about to pierce through him dissipated. As he stared ahead, the Sage that had always been standing tall throughout both heaven and earth was walking toward him, one step at a time.

    "Are you willing to be my disciple?"

 Chapter 403: Heâ€™s Dead

    Chapter 403: He¡¯s Dead

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang!

    The dense white radiance that gave one an iparablyfortable feeling started gradually fading, transforming back into the environment they were both familiar with, an environment with a chilly breeze rustling in the air, a bone piercingly cold breeze that caused a great amount of pain to one¡¯s skin.

    Kong Bai was overjoyed. "We are back!" They had truly returned. After suffering an untold number of hardships, they had finally returned. He had gone through countless transmigrations in the past. However, not a single one of those transmigrations had been as carefree as this current transmigration. They had actually returned sessfully. Did that not mean that...

    Kong Bai was overjoyed at the prospect. He nced at Chen Feng only to notice that Chen Feng¡¯s expression was rather serene.

    Kong Bai was worried about him. "Are you still thinking about Qin Hai?"

    "Mhm." Chen Feng frowned, seemingly deeply contemting something. Suddenly, he asked, "If I take you along, can we both still return there?"

    Kong Bai¡¯s eyes widened. "You¡¯re thinking of..." This guy was actually thinking of going back there! To be precise, he wanted to return to the past and bring Qin Hai back to the future. However, the probability of such a transmigration urring again...

    Kong Bai shut his eyes.

    Hum¡ª

    Using the remaining energy he had on him, he tried.

    Kong Bai shook his head. "It won¡¯t work. To be honest, I have transmigrated so many times before. Most of the time, they were space transmigrations or world transmigrations. Only when a unique energy was involved did I encounter a time transmigration. I suspect that our previous transmigration to the past is rted to the remaining unique energy in the ruins of legacy. And now..." Kong Bai tried sensing around. "That energy has already dissipated."

    "Is that so?" Chen Feng stared ahead, wondering about Qin Hai¡¯s fate.

    "Howl¡ª"

    A group of barbarians appeared. When they saw Chen Feng and Kong Bai, they charged over in excitement.

    Kong Bai patted Chen Feng¡¯s shoulder. "Let¡¯s go. There are way too many things waiting for us to do."

    Chen Feng nodded slightly. "Understood."

    Bang!

    They both streaked away and entered the depths of the ruins of legacy. Their journey had even brought them to the ancient era as they had walked thisnd of legacy. What was the reason for all that? It was precisely for the barbarian¡¯s legacy. Traveling through two points in time, they had reached this deepest depth of thend of legacy. Those things they had failed to obtain and hadcked the time to aplish during the ancient era had to bepleted here.

    Hum¡ª

    Amidst the ruins of legacy, a clump of dazzling radiance flickered without stop. As both Chen Feng and Kong Bai stepped in, that gentle radiance started blending into their flesh. That was precisely the legacy of the barbarians! This was a legacy every single barbarian who passed the test could obtain: energy immunity! Back then, the entire race of the barbarians had almost gone extinct. This remnant of their legacy was likely the very thing that had helped them survive till now. This so-called legacy was most probably a certain degree of energy immunity.

    "Let¡¯s try it out."

    Chen Feng shot a beam of energy at Kong Bai. Kong Bai did the same to Chen Feng.

    Mhm... an immunity of 90%.

    This was still not as powerful as what the barbarians possessed. However, it was sufficiently terrifying to astonish others. In other words, all energy damage, curses, and so on would be weakened by 90% against Chen Feng and Kong Bai. This was simply a legacy that was in defiance of the natural order.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng thought of something. "How about healing..."

    Shua!

    Once again, they tried using energy on each other. With astonishment, they found that even healing abilities were weakened by 90% against them.

    "This is indeed a double-edged sword."

    Chen Feng wasn¡¯t particrly surprised.

    Since the immunity was capable of reducing energy damage, it was natural that this immunity reduced healing energy as well. However, most of the abilities they possessed werebat rted abilities¡ªas such, they weren¡¯t greatly affected by this.

    "Let¡¯s go," Kong Bai said with a low voice. He felt like it was better for them to leave fast. Initially, the three of them had onlye here for the legacy anyway. Now that Qin Hai was no longer with them and the both of them had obtained the legacy, there was no longer any meaning in staying here any further.

    "Mhm."

    Chen Feng nodded and started leaving speedily. Their journey back was still rather smooth. Only a small disturbance was encountered when they reached the entrance. Instead of stopping, they simply charged through. However, at the very instant they left thend of legacy...

    Shua!

    An ice-cold feeling descended upon them. Right after they returned out here, that bone-piercing chill could be felt. The superexpert surpassing A ss that had been chasing after them previously was actually waiting for them here!

    Kong Bai¡¯s heart chilled. "It¡¯s over." So long has passed, yet this fellow is still here? D*mn it! Are all experts that surpass A ss so free?

    Kong Bai nearly lost all hope. Against an A ss, they might still be able to escape. However, facing an expert surpassing A ss like this, they had no hope of seeding even with the energy immunity they had just obtained.

    "You both! Deserve death!" the stone statue decreed with his ice-cold voice. The eyes of the stone statue were filled with a chilly radiance as his huge body started charging toward Chen Feng and Kong Bai.

    Bang!

    Space itself started copsing.

    The both of them could only stare nkly at the iing iron fist. Right at this instant, Chen Feng abruptly started talking, "Xiong Da, is that you?"

    Shua!

    The fist that was about tond halted. The eyes of the stone statue flickered with a red radiance as he stared at Chen Feng.

    Xiong Da?

    This name had seemingly roused an ancient memory... back then...

    He recovered from his absent-mindedness. "Who are you?"

    Chen Feng unwaveringly stared straight into the stone statue¡¯s eyes. "You don¡¯t remember me anymore? Back then, you and that youngdy of the ancient race rescued us. Furthermore, you personally brought us to the Divine Ancestor..." Chen Feng looked at him. "Have you forgotten?"

    "Youngdy... Divine Ancestor..." The stone statue appeared to be in a daze. Seeming to have finally recalled something, with great difficulty, he uttered, "You... you are that fellow called Chen Feng!"

    Chen Feng breathed out in relief. All would be fine if he recognized them. "Yes, it¡¯s me."

    More and more memories of the stone statue seemed to emerge. "So it¡¯s you guys." He had finally recalled the events that had happened in the distant past. That was truly an extremely ancient era...

    Chen Feng shot out a session of questions. "How are you? Do you still remember Qin Hai? That pretty boy? What happened to him? What happened to the war with the ancient race? How have you stayed alive until now? What about that youngdy you liked? How is she?"

    The stone statue remained silent for a long time before answering, "I don¡¯t know."

    Chen Feng was somewhat speechless. "Don¡¯t know?" How was that possible? This stone statue had lived on all these years...

    "They are probably all dead, I suppose." The stone statue sighed. "After all, the scale of that war was rather huge. By the time I arrived, only crumbling fences and dpidated walls remained. The ancient race had already retreated, and a countless amount of people were dead."

    "How is that possible?" Suddenly, Chen Feng felt that something was wrong. "Wait."

    When you arrived? Wasn¡¯t Xiong Da right there? I remember that, back then, Xiong Da was fiercely shing against the ancient race!

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze became solemn. "Who are you? You are not Xiong Da!"

    The stone statue shook his head. "I¡¯m not." However, a gratified expression appeared in his eyes. A person might have identally seen some picture and recognized his appearance. However, only someone who had been there back then would know that he was not actually Xiong Da. As such, Chen Feng¡¯s identity was verified.

    "I am indeed not him." The stone statue sighed. "He was killed in that war. I am his brother, Xiong Er 1 ."

    Instantly, Chen Feng had an odd expression on his face. The names of these barbarians truly caused one to be speechless.

    "When that happened, I was out hunting. By the time I returned, everything had already ended. I searched through every single nook and cranny to find some nsman with breath still left in them and exhausted all methods avable to me to help them recover before starting a small tribe with them," the stone statue stated painfully. This was truly a painful memory for him.

    In a low voice, the stone statue said, "I heard about you guys from my brother. You guys greatly resemble the ancient race yet are actually members of us barbarians. It was said that during the war, you guys killed countless ancient race members and even fought against the Sage. You guys are the most respected and powerful warrior of us barbarians!"

    Chen Feng suddenly asked, "How about Qin Hai?" Since Xiong Er knew Chen Feng and Kong Bai, he should know Qin Hai as well.

    The stone statue¡¯s expression was somewhat odd. "He was brought away by the ancient race. It was rumored that he was epted as a disciple by the Sage. He also married the daughter of the Sage, seemingly turning into a part of the ancient race. Despite his freedom being restricted, everything he wanted, he was allowed. As for the Devil King, they continued warring against the ancient race. Subsequently, news pertaining to the ancient race started bing lessmon. As for the ancientnd, the power of primal chaos started getting denser, and the races became separated. In the end, we were no longer capable of finding out whether it was the Devil King or the ancient race that was victorious."

    Primal chaos... Is that the thing that separates the aura of the unknown regions from the outside world? This is the very thing that has caused human satellites to fail to get a clear look at the entire. This is also the very thing blocking all sort of exploration or sensory rted abilities. So... this is a leftover product of the ancient era? As for Qin Hai... it seems like the luck value worked back then. At the very least, he survived and lived on ratherfortably as well. However, as for whether he is still alive now, nobody knows. After all, so many years have passed...

    "How have you guys stayed alive until now?" The stone statue was somewhat amazed. He had survived by transforming into a stone statue, forfeiting his life force to be an existence that was essentially not alive. This was how he had preserved his consciousness and survived till now. These three, though...

    "We have no idea." Chen Feng started telling a half truth and half lie. "Actually, we are humans. We stepped into thend of legacy identally. Lord Divine Ancestor saw through our identity and bestowed us with some mysterious power, telling us to help the barbarians when we woke up. After we woke up, we were already here."

    He pointed at his forehead. There, the remnants of the Divine Ancestor¡¯s aura could still be felt.

    The stone statue¡¯s expression became solemn. "It is indeed the power of Lord Divine Ancestor." Divine Ancestor... is this the favor your esteemed self bestowed upon us back then? He had indeed heard about the Divine Ancestor summoning these three. The present barbarians had truly declined greatlypared to their past and could no longer rise up. If they were to follow this person... He looked at Chen Feng. Young, dynamic, and formidable! Perhaps the future of the barbarians would lie with this person?

    Suddenly, the stone statue assumed a solemn expression. "Chen Feng, right? From today onward, the descendants of the barbarians will be relying on you."

    Finishing his words, he pointed midair. A dim light bloomed from his finger beforending on Chen Feng¡¯s forehead.

    Hum¡ª

    The radiance started shining brightly.

    Bang!

    The shockwave of the terrifying radiance engulfed their surroundings.

    "Howl¡ª"

    Next, countless barbarians started charging at them from their surroundings, giving Chen Feng and Kong Bai quite a scare.

    To Chen Feng¡¯s surprise, these barbarians actually knelt down on the ground while muttering something with their mouths, muttering something like "Lord Divine Ancestor high above," "Oh brilliant Divine Ancestor," and so on. Moreover, some of them even started taking out the portraits left behind by their elders andparing the portrait with Chen Feng¡¯s appearance before bing rmed and starting to cry bitterly while kneeling on the ground.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Vacantly, he stared at the numerous barbarians kneeling on the ground. As far as his eyes could see, there were barbarians kneeling.

    "In the future, these are your people. To be able to see the barbarians obtaining a new future before leaving, I can rest in peace," the stone statuemented endlessly.

    Chen Feng widened his eyes abruptly. "You¡¯re leaving?"

    The stone statue sighed. "I should have left long ago. Although I transformed into a stone statue, as long as my consciousness exists, this stone statue will suffer damage. This is especially true whenever I use my power through this stone statue. So many years have passed since then and my true body has long decayed. Only this final breath remained in my body that was deep asleep underground. All this is to ensure the future of us barbarians. Fortunately, I was able to wait until this day." The stone statue appeared gratified. "Lord Divine Ancestor indeed had his own arrangements."

    Chen Feng opened his mouth yet did not know what to say. This... What could he say? Tell them that, in fact, Lord Divine Ancestor had been beaten up badly by the Sage? Tell them that back then, when Lord Divine Ancestor had summoned them, he had only intended for them to be spies, since they resembled the ancient race? Tell them how their ancestors had actually seen everything that had happened clearly, but that had been too bitter a battle and they had only been able to lie and say that their Lord Divine Ancestor had fought bravely to his death? But then, it was true that he had been killed there. What could Chen Feng say? He could only smile bitterly at this. He had originally only been nning to trick this Xiong Er. Unexpectedly, he had gotten himself an entire tribe from this single trick of his.

    To the side, Kong Bai was sighing endlessly. "Why not me?" Look at this. They had both transmigrated. They had both been summoned by the Divine Ancestor. On his forehead was also the remnant of the imprint of the Divine Ancestor. Why the heck had this stone statue entrusted the barbarians to Chen Feng alone? Kong Bai was indignant.

    The stone statue nced at Kong Bai with a hint of apology in his gaze. "Actually, you would be more fitting for this than him," the stone statue said.

    Indeed. Instantly, Kong Bai felt ted.

    "Unfortunately, your looks are somewhatcking." The stone statue sighed before vanishing into the thin air. From here on, both his consciousness and soul would no longer exist. As for the Kong Bai that had still been rejoicing earlier, the smile on his face stiffened.

    Looks are somewhatcking... somewhatcking...cking...

    With a dumbstruck expression, he stared at the stone statue that was no longer there. His face flushed red, and he started raging as he kicked at thin air. "What is the meaning of that! Finish your sentence! F*ck you, Xiong Er, get your ass out here! Do you have the balls toe back? What¡¯s the point in not finishing your sentence? What do you mean by mecking in looks? You indeed deserve to perish, both in soul and consciousness! If you are still alive, I will most certainly grind your bones into dust! Come out! If you have the guts,e out!" Kong Bai roared furiously. That was too excessive! Before his soul and consciousness perished, he felt the need to first berate me? What the h*ll.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    As the kneeling barbarians saw this, their eyes were filled with reverence as they thought about how these people were indeed the friends of their ancestor. Only such people worthy of being their ancestor¡¯s friend would disy their emotions so openly, right? It was rumored that, when Xiong Da had died back then, Xiong Er had also cursed endlessly for three days and nights, asking Xiong Da to return. Back then, Xiong Er¡¯s emotions had been extremely unstable, and now, this Kong Bai was the same as well.

    Naturally, with the intelligence of these barbarians, they did not understand that the present Kong Bai was truly furious. He had been mocked by the demonic mirror, he had been mocked by the barbarian foot soldiers at thend of legacy, and now, even an expert surpassing A ss had mocked him! How was he supposed to live with this? Kong Bai did not even have the tears to cry.

    Chen Feng patted Kong Bai¡¯s shoulder before sighing heavily. "Don¡¯t be sad."

    Chapter 405: The Incredibly Incredible Xiong Er

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the unknown region, as Chen Feng stared at the vige in front of him, his head ached. Mhm...Why had a training camp exploration mission transformed into a kingdom-building game? As they had spent quite a long time on this mission, he had almost forgotten that their primary goal here was to tame this unknown region and transform it into a training camp.

    Chen Feng pondered. "It¡¯s already impossible to turn this into a training camp." After all, he couldn¡¯t really kill off all these powerful barbarians, right? This was an extremely fortuitous encounter for him, as Xiong Er had handed over all these barbarians to him. The strength of the barbarians¡¯bat power was not to be doubted. Every single one of them wasparable to a B ss. Moreover, the degree of their energy immunity was even higher than his. Most of them had an immunity above 90%. As long as sufficient training was provided, each of the barbarians would be able to transform into a terrifyingbatant that was much stronger than a gic warrior.

    However... were these barbarians reliable? Chen Feng pondered deeply. After all, he was not a barbarian. It was reasonable to suspect the loyalty of those from a different race. Chen Feng was not intending to raise a group of fellows that would not listen to him. Right at this moment...

    Hum¡ª

    A dot of light started radiating on his forehead. That was the thing Xiong Er had ced on him. Normally, it would be hidden within his body. Now that he had activated it, Chen Feng could keenly feel that this mysterious imprint was actually capable of controlling the barbarians.

    Chen Feng eximed in admiration, "This is... bloodline control?" He had once heard of something like this.

    It was rumored that certain powerful families used such a method to control their nsmen. As long as they were rted by blood, everyone¡¯s lifeline would be under control. What this thing controlled was one¡¯s origin blood. Against some people, this control method was extremely effective. Those capable of being controlled were normally those possessing one¡¯s bloodline, such as one¡¯s children or offspring. Whoever it was, as long as that person¡¯s bloodline density exceeded 10%, this thing would work. Nobody would dare to rebel against this control either.

    Using familial affection and threat together, such a control method was extremely hegemonic. Chen Feng had never expected that the barbarians were also employing such a method to control their offspring. In other words, with this imprint, Chen Feng would be able to control the elites of the barbarians? This was Chen Feng¡¯s guess. Through his perception, he found out that this imprint was essentially the origin imprint of Xiong Er.

    Mhm... anyone who was rted by blood to Xiong Er, Chen Feng would be able to control. Presently, Chen Feng was only praying that among the blood descendants of Xiong Er, aplete army was included. Only with that could he maintain order among the barbarians. That would be the best scenario. If the blood descendants of Xiong Er only consisted of some ordinary barbarians or some barbarian thugs, what was the point of Chen Feng having control over them?

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Hopefully, everything will work smoothly."

    Activate!

    Ding¡ª

    He pointed midair. Xiong Er¡¯s imprint started blooming with a dazzling radiance.

    Numerous shining red dots could be seen on the imprint. These red dots were all joined by numerous red threads, akin to a horoscope. From this, Chen Feng was able to see the information and location of all the blood descendants.

    Shua! Shua!

    Soon, Chen Feng was able to see all the red dots. However, when all the red dots appeared, after Chen Feng studied them attentively, he felt like something wasn¡¯t right. As such, he studied those dots again, yet he still felt like something wasn¡¯t right.

    Chen Feng frowned. "This amount..."

    Shua!

    All the red dots were now joined, and the activation of the imprint was thusplete. Each of the red dots was flickering without stop. Chen Feng only needed to urge inwardly and he would be able to kill any of these barbarians anytime he wanted to. This was the present given to him by Xiong Er. However... this amount... Chen Feng was dumbstruck when he saw it.

    Shua!

    The red dots were so numerous that their radiance nearly blinded Chen Feng. He had initially believed that there wouldn¡¯t be many blood descendants of Xiong Er, with most of his actual blood descendants being the elites of this tribe. Unexpectedly, the entirety of the tribe were blood descendants of Xiong Er. That¡¯s right! All of them! What the h*ll? Chen Feng tried calcting the total amount of the barbarians. Mhm... the total amount of barbarians here was exactly the same as the barbarians contained in the imprint. In other words... everyone here was a blood descendant of Xiong Er.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng recalled what Xiong Er had said earlier. When he came back, the war had already ended. He had only been able to rescue several dying barbarians with great difficulty, in order to leave some descendants behind. Only with this had the barbarians continued existing until this day.

    As such, the barbarians he had rescued had all been female? Therefore, by himself, that guy had continued the bloodline of the barbarians? It was still fine for his generation. As for the next generation...

    For the bloodline density of Xiong Er to still remain 10% even among the barbarians of this generation, this signified that Xiong Er had been "working hard" even among the subsequent generations. This, this, this...

    Chen Feng and Kong Bai looked at each other in dismay.

    "This is truly the act of a single person creating an entire race," Kong Baimented.

    Chen Feng felt too powerless to even berate this. "No wonder the intelligence of the barbarians decreased without stop..." With their incestuous breeding method, it would truly be an oddity if their descendants were of quality. In all honesty, if it wasn¡¯t for their body quality being already on the extremely high side, granting them numerous immunities, the current generation of barbarians would most probably all be retarded...

    Kong Bai was curious. "The bloodline density should be decreasing, right?"

    Chen Feng coughed. "Male barbarians, who were in charge of fighting, had a rather high casualty rate. As such, most barbarians left alive in the vige were female barbarians. Therefore... I suppose our dear friend Xiong Er still needed to ¡¯work hard¡¯ to continue extending his bloodline," Chen Fengmented.

    Kong Bai: "..."

    Could this be considered an act of keeping good things for oneself? The scariest question was: "Even if Chen Feng is in control of the barbarians now, how should the barbarians continue breeding in the future?" All the barbarians here had bloodline density above 10%! This indicated that all of the barbarians were actually close rtives of each other. How would the child conceived through such pairings be intelligent?

    Suddenly, Kong Bai asked, "Mysterious Organization... are you nning to return?"

    "Yes," Chen Feng replied without the slightest hesitation.

    "Why?" Kong Bai couldn¡¯t understand the reason. Back then, hadn¡¯t Chen Feng stayed there by pure ident? Now that he was out here with great difficulty, why did he have to go back there and throw his life away?

    Chen Feng stared at the bustling barbarians around him. "I did not say that I am returning alone."

    Suddenly, Kong Bai¡¯s eyes widened. "Don¡¯t tell me..." The h*ll, this lunatic! He was trying to attack the Mysterious Organization using the barbarian army?

    "There¡¯s something I need there," Chen Feng stated calmly. "However, I¡¯m afraid these barbarians won¡¯t be sufficient."

    Kong Bai shook his head. Although these barbarians were powerful, they were totallycking when it came to high-levelbatants. All of the barbarians were B ss! It would still be fine if they encountered an A ss, but if they encountered gic warriors surpassing A ss, all those barbarians would probably fall there. How was this war supposed to progress, then?

    Chen Feng was aware of the crux of the issue. "Ultimately, it is still the bloodline that will affect the future of the barbarians." Through the methods Xiong Er had employed, he had indeed prevented the extinction of the barbarians. Unfortunately, the intelligence of the present barbarians...

    Kong Bai shook his head. "Several generations will be required to reduce the amount of bloodline density." The barbarians¡¯ growth was rather rapid and was more than ten times faster than an ordinary human¡¯s. As such, what a human needed 10 years to aplish, the barbarians could aplish in several months. However, even if a new generation was birthed every three months, did they truly have to stay here for around a year or so waiting for thebat power of the barbarians to increase? This solution was rather unreliable. Moreover, there was one more point, an extremely crucial point: Chen Feng could only control the barbarians with bloodline density above 10%. Those with lower bloodline density would be out of his control. That was thergest problem he currently faced.

 Chapter 406: Have You Played Sim Games?

    Chapter 406: Have You yed Sim Games?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The matter pertaining to the bloodline density was in fact rather simple to understand. In short, the control of Xiong Er¡¯s imprint was stronger the higher the density was. If the density was too low, even if a genius barbarian was born in the future, the barbarian would most probably not be of use to Chen Feng. When barbarians with higher intelligence started appearing, it would be questionable whether they would still listen to Chen Feng or not.

    Chen Feng merely smiled nonchntly at this. "You don¡¯t have to worry about this. The problem pertaining to the control... Hehe, don¡¯t worry. I am even better than the White Church when ites to brainwashing."

    Chen Feng smiled toyingly. If he employed methods simr to those multi-level marketing schemes to brainwash these barbarians starting from childhood... Mhm, as long as he stayed alive, the barbarians would hardly revolt against his rule. Based on his memories, such multi-level marketing brainwashing methods were extremely effective. As for those who failed at brainwashing even after using those multi-level marketing brainwashing methods, they were normally those who had earned their failure by doing something stupid like telling their followers to kill their own parents or children.

    That was a rather idiotic action. By doing this, let alone brainwashed people, even a person whose entire being had been washed, it would still backfire. This was simply an action of forcing a revolt. Such an idiotic mistake was something Chen Feng would most certainly notmit. Controlling these barbarians using brainwashing methods might be even more reliable than Xiong Er¡¯s imprint. As for the time required to produce some barbarians of better quality as mentioned by Kong Bai...

    After Chen Feng contemted it, he concluded that since the body quality of these barbarians was rather high, there might be some means to solve this issue. From his memories, there indeed existed some gene reagents capable of speeding up the growth process.

    Kong Bai was dumbstruck. "Bro! You are breeding the barbarians, not some livestock!"

    The hell! This bro here is totally an unscrupulous businessman! He¡¯s actually nning to use the hormone injection methodmonly used on livestocks on these barbarians?

    Chen Feng coughed and said, "No, I¡¯m only thinking of using some regr growth enhancing gene reagents."

    Kong Bai rolled his eyes. "That¡¯s the same thing as hormone injections."

    "No." Chen Feng pondered deeply before saying, "Livestock are raised to feed humans. As such, we can¡¯t use hormone injections for them since they will be harmful to the consumers. The gene reagents I am nning to use on these barbarians are purely for enhancing their growth. Moreover, I will personally improve these gene reagents. As such, nothing harmful ought to happen."

    Kong Bai: "..."

    After he had decided what to do, the remaining affairs became rather simple. For example: how to allow these barbarians to "have fun" in the bushes.

    Shua!

    With a wave of Chen Feng¡¯s hand, the annual Nightspring Festival was once again activated. Thereupon, the barbarians who had been holding it in due to several interruptions became delighted and started "having fun," performing that biological action that ensured the continuation of life. Chen Feng also added some enhancers to assist them in this.

    For example, a certain powerful gene reagent capable of rousing one¡¯s passion.

    For example, a certain mystical gene reagent capable of ensuring one was able to give birth to triplets.

    For example, a certain gene reagent capable of increasing one¡¯s body¡¯s activity level. This particr gene reagent was ordinarily only used once per person. It was something capable of healing a person who was about to die in only a short few days. When used on these barbarians, within the active duration of a short few days, the growth rate of these barbarians increased by several tens of times.

    Thereupon, within only half a month, Kong Bai could already see child barbarians popping out...

    Kong Bai was rmed. "What the f*ck, this is even faster than hormone injection." Half a month? This was too excessive even by the standards of livestock, right?

    Chen Feng patted his shoulder. "Stay calm. This is only the beginning."

    Kong Bai was bewildered. "What?"

    Chen Feng merely chuckled as a response. "Hehe."

    Subsequently, on the second day, those child barbarians could already run. On the third day, those child barbarians could already fight. On the fourth day, those child barbarians had already reached F ss. On the fifth day...

    By the time the seventh day had arrived, those child barbarians had already reached B ss. This was an extremely terrifying growth!

    Kong Bai was aware that the barbarians grew faster than humans, surpassing humans by more than ten times. However, this speed aplished by Chen Feng was rather horrifying. In seven days, the barbarians had reached adulthood! Somewhat regretfully, though, among these barbarians, the strongest of them were merely B sses. Based on Chen Feng¡¯s senses, their bloodline density was still above 10%.

    Chen Feng could only sigh at this. "Xiong Er..." At this time, the initial batch of barbarians Chen Feng had received from Xiong Er started disying the side effects of using those gene reagents. Mhm... they became infertile as a result. The rapid growth had seemingly disrupted the bnce of their bodies.

    Chen Feng breathed out in relief. "Perhaps this is a good thing." He had feared that these fellows would identally create more barbarians with high bloodline density. If that truly happened, it would be rather troublesome. After all, there were no abortion hospitals here.

    The bloodline density is gradually decreasing, Chen Feng analyzed silently. Now, the breeding of the second generation barbarians began. If one insisted on putting a name to this event, one could call this the second Nightspring Festival. Once again, the barbarians started "having fun" happily. Multiple periods of seven days passed. Chen Feng and Kong Bai were silently gathering data on these barbarians. Within a short period of time, the poption of the barbarians expanded greatly, and the strength of their tribe increased by several times. As for thetest generation of barbarians, their level of intelligence was increasing as well. Finally, several barbarians managed to break through the shackles binding them and enter A ss.

    Chen Feng was overjoyed. "Sess!" A ss! A-ss barbarians!

    An A-ss physical warrior with energy immunity above 90%! Chen Feng did not even need to think to figure out how terrifyingly damaging these fellows could be. This was the dawn of the new era of barbarians!

    "Howl!"

    "Howl!"

    The barbarians cheered endlessly. These new barbarians that were more intelligent had started to contemte the pros and cons of what Chen Feng had done. However, as theypared the previous and present condition of their tribe, they understood the reason for Chen Feng¡¯s actions. In unique times, unique methods were necessary.

    Now that there were already A-ss barbarians and the bloodline density had lowered to a certain degree, Chen Feng stopped his previous breeding strategy. Since A sses were already appearing, this signified that the condition of thetest generation of barbarians had already normalized. Moving on, these barbarians could breed as they wished, and perhaps a higher amount of powerful and genius barbarians would be born! Naturally, Chen Feng would definitely not allow incest anymore. After thinking about it, Chen Feng made this an irond rule for all barbarians.

    Presently, Chen Feng was silently calcting the time. Based on his initial n, by the time the A-ss barbarians started popping out, it wouldn¡¯t be long before he had to fight the Mysterious Organization. However, surprising him, right at this moment, Kong Bai bid him goodbye.

    "I¡¯m leaving. Initially, I was worried that you would act recklessly, haha. Now I see how sessful you are. Despite your somewhat unscrupulous methods, the end result is still quite good. Good luck in youring operation."

    In a carefree manner, Kong Bai left. He did not belong here anyway. Since he had already obtained the legacy, it was time for him to leave.

    Chen Feng did not say much either. "If fate allows, we will meet again in the future." After all, everyone had their own path to walk.

    A new generation barbarian that was filled with a youthful energy walked over to Chen Feng. "Lord."

    Chen Feng nced at him. "Anything?"

    "The formation of the first squad isplete," the barbarian answered loudly.

    "First squad?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. The so-called first squad was a special squadprised fully of A-ss barbarians, a squad that was abination of the natural prowess of the barbarians and the equipment produced by Chen Feng.

    The squad is finally formed? Hehe. Mysterious Organization... I aming!

 Chapter 407: Target: Spirit Sea Wood!

    Chapter 407: Target: Spirit Sea Wood!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Unknown region.

    Leading a squad, Chen Feng was traversing amid the darkness. With two months and using gene reagents, he had created this powerful barbarian squad. A squad of 10 barbarians, all of them with a body strength of A ss and with over 95% energy immunity. Naturally, despite these fellows not having any problems with their brains, due to their actual age being young and their rapid growth, they were still all brawn and no brain.

    Each of these fellows was an existence akin to a boss in a game. In this era of technology, even weapons were all pure-energy weapons. After witnessing the prowess of energy weapons, humanity had long given up on physical weapons. As such, even the Mysterious Organization was using high-energy weapons. Those were all useless against the barbarians. With over 95% energy immunity, only 5% damage would be dealt against these barbarians. Such an amount of damage might still be able to hurt an ordinary person, but against these barbarians with their heaven-defying bodies, these weapons were merely jokes. On top of that, a huge amount of gene reagents had been prepared by Chen Feng for these barbarians as well.

    The only goal for him at the Mysterious Organization was their Spirit Sea wood. In actuality, things would be more interesting if he decided to instead slowly rise in ranks among the Mysterious Organization. However, the time required for this was too long. Chen Feng could not afford to spend so much time. As such, he had decided to use this method to rob them, which was much simpler.

    "Have you all learned what I taught you?" Chen Feng asked.

    All the barbarians nodded. "Mhm."

    The strength of the Mysterious Organization was not to be underestimated. Even if a vast majority of their members were normally out on missions, this was still not a ce Chen Feng could act rampantly. As such, he had devised an extremely simple n: flee immediately after the robbery! Using Luck Aura, he was able to estimate the location of the Spirit Sea wood. That¡¯s right, the location was deduced using his Luck Aura.

    The mysterious power of the Spirit Sea wood was capable of causing Luck Aura to lose its effect. However, in of the entirety of the Mysterious Organization, only a certain area was undetectable using Luck Aura. As such, after mapping the Mysterious Organization¡¯s headquarters using Luck Aura, he had found a nk spot on it. If that was not the location storing the Spirit Sea wood, what was?

    Chen Feng hollered at them, "Remember! Try your best to not attract any attention. Aplish the goal while being as low profile as possible."

    The barbarians nodded. "Mhm."

    "Very good." Light shed in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes. "Then... let the operation begin."

    Whoosh! Whoosh!

    The group of 11 entered the Mysterious Organization noiselessly. As Chen Feng had been staying here for quite a while, he was clear on the areas that were monitored and the areas where he needed to be careful. Coupled with the assistance of Luck Aura, they were able to sneak in easily. From their current position to the location of the Spirit Sea wood, they needed to travel through seven tunnels. There would be patrols at all times. This would be a rather dangerous operation. However...

    "I¡¯ll be relying on you guys," Chen Feng said in a low voice.

    Shua!

    The barbarians around him vanished. Far away, at the first tunnel, a group of seven was patrolling. All of them were B-ss warriors, and the captain was peak B ss. This was the strength of the Mysterious Organization. A mere normal patrol squad wasprised fully of B-ss warriors. Extremely terrifying.

    With squads like this, even if the one sneaking in was an A-ss warrior, they would be able to hold out for quite a while, and the moment the rm was activated, everything would be over. However...

    Shua! Shua!

    Several barbarians concealed themselves quietly at the two sides of the tunnel. Silently, they awaited the arrival of the patrols. When the patrols reached the entrance of the tunnel, the barbarians erupted and appeared behind them instantly. Next, the barbarians ced both hands at the necks of the patrols before using the technique Chen Feng had spent several days teaching them, a technique they were extremely well practiced with after practicing against scarecrows, a technique known as the neck twist.

    Ka! Ka!

    One after another, heads separated from their bodies. A B-ss patrol squad was decimated just like that. Even Chen Feng himself felt fear when he witnessed this scene. Was this the squad he had created with his own hands?

    "Hu¡ª"

    He let out a long breath. That¡¯s right. This barbarian squad had been transformed into an assassination squad by Chen Feng. Were the barbarians powerful? Yes, they were. With powerful physical bodies and high energy immunity, if they were used as warriors, even A-ss gic warriors would need a long time to deal with them. These barbarians were simply akin to tanky meat shields! However, what was the point of that?

    The moment someone surpassing A-ss made a move, or when one of the myriad abilities of those B-ss gic warriors happened to work against the barbarians, all the barbarians could very well end up dead there. It was too dangerous to use the barbarians out in the open for everyone to bombard as they wished like bosses in games. What if the barbarians were used as assassins? An A-ss assassin with a superpowerful physical body?

    They would be able to insta-kill anyone with lower body strength than them! One had to know that even regr A-ss gic warriors generally only possessed a body strength of C ss. At most, they would only have a body strength of B ss. What could these people do when facing assassins like the barbarians? The result of this encounter was a no-brainer. As for the counterstrike of the patrols¡¯ defensive energy abilities? Hehe. Against an assassin with energy immunity, one would have a good taste at how helpless one¡¯s defensive energy abilities were.

    As long as sufficient training was provided, such a barbarian squad might be able to kill even those surpassing A ss. Naturally, this would only work with the premise of them being undiscovered. This was also the ultimate goal of Chen Feng.

    Ka! Ka!

    Several crisps sounds resounded once again. Another patrol squad was killed off by the barbarian assassins. As for Chen Feng, he was busy using the numerous minor abilities he had to provide cover to these barbarians. For example: Body Concealment, Aura Elimination, Decimator of Corpses, and Trails!

    Ka! Ka!

    Numerous patrol groups were eliminated. Chen Feng¡¯s group traveled forth without stop. By the time the rm was finally activated, they had already reached their destination. There, enemies that were more powerful could be found.

    "A-ss patrols."

    With a single nce, Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted furiously. A group of eight, all of them at A ss, and the captain and deputy captain were peak A sses. If this truly where the Spirit Sea wood was stored, even mere guards were most definitely elites of the Mysterious Organization.

    "Peak A ss..."

    Chen Fengpared the strength of both parties.

    Theoretically, the barbarian assassins should be able to insta-kill them. However, this was merely theory. The premise of this happening was that the barbarians needed to first approach those A-ss warriors. However, which of those A-ss warriors wasn¡¯t a veteran with richbat experience? The moment they saw the barbarians, the moment they discovered that the barbarians were immune against energy, these gic warriors would most definitely use a different approach tobat them. They might not be able to defeat the barbarians, but they would be able to drag it out. The moment the reinforcements of the Mysterious Organization arrived, Chen Feng¡¯s group would be surrounded.

    Chen Feng¡¯s head ached. "This is getting somewhat troublesome."

    Ordinary gic warriors that were assassins normally possessed unique abilities such as blinking and killing. They would be able to instantly appear behind their enemies and unleash a fatal attack. This was something the barbarians could notpare to. Naturally, there were pros and cons to normal gic warrior assassins. Despite their numerous abilities, the moment the enemies discovered them or started counterattacking, the enemies might be able to even counterkill the assassins.

    When something like that happened, it would transform into apetition of trump cards. None of this was a concern for the barbarians. Unfortunately, theycked a method to approach their targets. If they were to charge out hastily, only death would await. They might also be exhausted to death here as well.

    Chen Feng¡¯s brain raced. What to do...

 Chapter 408: Aware since Long Ago

    Chapter 408: Aware since Long Ago

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At a certain location high above the sky, lightning was everywhere. Two illusory figures condensed and appeared there, seated cross-legged. The both of them were talking to each other casually; the vile environment around them did not seem to have any effect on them.

    Suddenly.

    Hum¡ª

    A dim green shed past. At this, the forehead of one of the two figures started shining with green. The radiance started spreading from his forehead and enveloped his head before spreading to his entire body. Toward the end, the entire body solidified as the true appearance of that person became clear. This was precisely Lu Hun.

    Lu Hun smiled. "The fish has taken the bait."

    The figure opposite him smiled lightly. "True."

    Hum¡ª

    ck radiance started spreading as the other figure¡¯s forehead started shining ck. As the radiance faded, his body solidified, revealing a ck-clothed person whose face couldn¡¯t be seen clearly. However, even if his face couldn¡¯t be seen clearly, the diamond on his head was shining dazzlingly.

    Lu Hun sighed. "Junior apprentice brother, you stillck trust in me, as usual."

    He had known this junior apprentice brother of his for many years, yet he had never seen this guy¡¯s true appearance. This guy was the leader of the Mysterious Organization, yet this very person had also abided by the spirit of keeping things a mystery to such an extent as well.

    "You know the reason for that," the Mysterious Organization leader replied calmly.

    Lu Hun sighed. "Fine."

    It was rumored that once, this junior apprentice brother of his had encountered a formidable opponent that had caused his face to be ruined. From then on, he had wrapped himself with his ability at all times, never revealing his true appearance. However, no one was aware of the authenticity of this story.

    "That Chen Feng..." The Mysterious Organization leader paused before continuing, "should be here already, right?"

    "Naturally," Lu Hun stated calmly.

    "We have no way of getting involved in this." The Mysterious Organization leader stared at the sky that was still dark. "Presently, we still can¡¯t leave this ce."

    "This time, we can only let them handle it." Lu Hun smiled calmly. "Since Chen Feng is courting death, then just let him die. It¡¯s about time he pays back what he owes me anyway."

    Bang!

    The sky started thundering. Apanied by Lu Hun¡¯s maliciousughter, the lightning appeared even more sinister. The face of the Mysterious Organization leader was indistinct; however, his eyes appeared even deeper now. One whole month was sufficient for the Mysterious Organization to get to the truth of a lot of matters, such as the true identity of Wang Feng.

    If that Wang Feng guy had been around all the while, things might not have seemed so suspicious. However, he had been missing for more than a month. Such a long period of time was sufficient for the Mysterious Organization to get into the truth of things. During their investigation into Wang Feng¡¯s disappearance, they had identally uncovered that Wang Feng was essentially Chen Feng! This was the scariest thing they had uncovered.

    When this had first been uncovered, everyone had been horrified. Who would have guessed that their biggest enemy was hidden in their midst? Chen Feng was so brave? The entire Mysterious Organization was furious. Surprising them all, that wasn¡¯t the extent of Chen Feng¡¯s bravery. This Chen Feng guy had actually been courageous enough to return one monthter, even after his identity had been exposed! Exactly how much did he look down upon the Mysterious Organization? They were all furious!

    From the lowest of their members to those in leadership positions, and even senior members like Lu Hun, all of them were furious. The Mysterious Organization was an extremely powerful organization with a huge amount of B sses and A sses, and even warriors surpassing A ss with a myriad of abilities at their disposal. It would have been fine if they had been unsure of whether Chen Feng was alive or dead. Now that they were aware that Chen Feng was alive, it was nearly impossible for Chen Feng to hide his actions from them.

    Thereupon, the subsequent actions of Chen Feng had been deduced: on a certain date, Chen Feng would lead a group of people and return to the Mysterious Organization. For the Chen Feng whose identity was no longer trusted and who could no longer use their underground transportation system, how was he supposed to take someone to the Mysterious Organization? He could only hide himself and assassinate his way in!

    "He will operate in the dark. He will assassinate the patrols. He will try his best to avoid triggering the rm. If we are without preparations, Chen Feng might be able to escape easily."

    This was what the powerful peak A-ss seer of the Mysterious Organization had deduced. It appeared much simpler than they had imagined.

    "Don¡¯t act rashly. Figure out Chen Feng¡¯s target first. After finding out his goal, we can make our move. Get some people we have already decided to kick out to be on patrol duty. Let them give their lives away."

    This was the n of the Mysterious Organization. Hence, the members that were supposed to be kicked out were transformed into numerous patrols walking the corridors. Ultimately, they were all killed by Chen Feng. The others were not able to see clearly what had happened, but they could perceive it with their senses. This continued until they figured out Chen Feng¡¯s goal.

    "That is where the Spirit Sea wood is stored. Chen Feng¡¯s goal is the Spirit Sea wood! How has he found out about the Spirit Sea wood?"

    "Someone must have leaked the information."

    The Mysterious Organization members started discussing among themselves. The Spirit Sea wood was the one of the deepest secrets of their organization, yet Chen Feng was aware of it. How much of their secrets as this Chen Feng guy aware of?

    Some of them sneered. "I¡¯m afraid that this time, we truly need to capture him."

    "That¡¯s only natural," the rest responded.

    From the moment Chen Feng had stepped foot into the Mysterious Organization, he had already fallen into their trap. This was a trap specifically prepared for Chen Feng. They did not dare to get too near Chen Feng, nor did they dare to actively monitor his movements, as they feared that Chen Feng would notice them. However, they only needed to observe in an indirect manner to gather certain details.

    As an example, the strength of Chen Feng¡¯s group. This Chen Feng guy thought that nobody was aware of his assassinations. Unknown to him, every ce he walked past and those he killed were fully investigated after he left. Those killed by him were essentially cannon fodder.

    "His target has already been ascertained."

    The strategy department of the Mysterious Organization had already fully analyzed everything about Chen Feng. "From the traces left behind, we can conclude that this is an assassination squad of 10 people. All 10 of them are veterans at assassinations. Peak B-ss warriors will have no way of fighting back against them. Based on the information we have so far, our opponents possess the strength of peak B ss at the very least. It is actually quite possible that they are actually A-ss warriors."

    At this, everyone¡¯s expression became solemn. A ss... a 10-man assassination squadprised fully of A-ss warriors! No wonder this Chen Feng was so egotistical and had the courage to sneak back here.

    "Based on our analysis of the route they are taking, their final destination is the ce where our Spirit Sea wood is stored. We can prepare our ambushes around there."

    "That¡¯s right. When ites to assassins, even if they are powerful when ites to sneak attacks, their strength is nothing to write home about when ites to direct confrontations. We can prepare 10 A-ss experts to face them. They are out there in the open, while we are operating in secret. As such, there is no way we can lose this battle. This time, I want Chen Feng to die without a burial site!" the head of the strategy department said.

    The rest epted hismands. "Understood."

    Currently, along with the passage of time, they managed to verify their initial deductions. Regardless of Chen Feng¡¯s assassination squad or their strength, all of this was verified.

    Identity verificationpleted.

    Strength verificationpleted.

    ...

    The Mysterious Organization members had been prepared in the dark long ago, waiting for Chen Feng¡¯s group to arrive.

    Some of them started hearing the sound of footsteps. "Here theye."

    "Three, two, one..." The eyes of the strategy department head shone as he shouted, "Go!"

    Shua!

    Taking the lead, he streaked out. However, after only moving a short distance, the clear appearance of the assassination squad behind Chen Feng was revealed. At that moment, the strategy department head¡¯s expression greened instantly.

 Chapter 409: Plan?

    Chapter 409: n?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    ?? Assassins? These are the assassins?

    As he felt the oppressive pressure emanating from those opposite him and saw their enormous bodies, the strategy department head, who had been heading out, stopped and returned forcefully.

    "Stop!" he shouted. His subordinates couldn¡¯t even process what had happened yet.

    They looked at the head with bewildered expressions. "What¡¯s up?"

    The head gulped. "Look."

    They raised their heads and stared ahead. Instantly, they nked as they saw, from behind Chen Feng, a group of lofty giants with tall and sturdy bodies and astonishing power appearing one after another.

    A... Assassins?

    The mere sight of these assassins caused their legs to feel somewhat weak. If it had merely been someone whose body was huge, they would naturally not have been bothered. However, these giants they were facing emanated an iparably terrifying and oppressive pressure and might! These fellows wereprised fully of A sses!

    Assassins? Assassins my *ss! These are obviously meat shields!

    Ka! Ka!

    One of the three-and-a-half-meter-tall giants started stretching his body. As he did so, the air filled with cracking sounds. When they nced over, they found that these were actually the sounds of the air beingpressed. If such powernded on their bodies... The mere thought of this caused their bodies to chill. As for the head of the strategy department, he was wishing he could p to death the fellow who had previously deduced Chen Feng¡¯s strength.

    "What to do?"

    They became extremely anxious. At this time, they saw that Chen Feng had stopped moving as well and was seemingly pondering something.

    "We might not necessarily have zero chances," one of his subordinates said. "Although they are rather strong, we have two advantages. First, Chen Feng is still not aware that we already figured out his identity. Second, Chen Feng simply does not have the courage to expose his identity. They should still be thinking of ways to eliminate the guards secretly."

    The strategy department head pondered knowingly. "You¡¯re saying..."

    That person continued, "That¡¯s right. We can ambush them! When Chen Feng¡¯s group is ambushing the guards, we can ambush them and teach them a lesson about what it means to be the oriole stalking behind the cicada! Moreover, look at their size... hehehe."

    Shua!

    The eyes of the strategy department shone. True! These guys might appear terrifying with their huge size, but they were, after all, still assassins. The main characteristic of an assassin was high attack and weak defense! As for someone with such a huge body, it signified that they would be an easier target to hit! In short, they could be damaged much more easily. When attacking these huge assassins, if the attackers were hidden in the dark, they wouldn¡¯t even face any risk. As long as sufficient attacks wereunched, these fellows could very well be insta-killed!

    The strategy department head¡¯s eyes shone. "Tell the other squads to finish their preparations." He seemed to recall that thest time they had attacked someone in such a manner was during the Mysterious Killing Command incident.

    Hehe. Chen Feng... how are you going to escape the cmity this time?

    Shua!

    Once again, they concealed themselves.

    Hidden amid the darkness, they could see Chen Feng¡¯s group approaching and were preparing to make their move. The strategy department was already done with their preparations, and killing intent appeared from their eyes.

    One step...

    Two steps...

    Chen Feng¡¯s group was pressing forth without stop.

    Hum¡ª

    Suddenly, a faintyer of energy shed on Chen Feng¡¯s body. In this operation, he was aware that he wouldn¡¯t y too big a role. As such, all the abilities he used were those abilities used to aid the barbarian assassination squad, granting them an enhancement in their speed. With the naturally astonishing body quality of these barbarians, how fast would they be after having their speed enhanced by Chen Feng?

    "Well, we¡¯ll find out after trying."

    Both Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were sharp.

    Shua!

    The energy concentrated in his hands bubbled. Next, under the support of his Luck Aura, the Myriad Illusions ability disyed its maximum power. Unleash, speed!

    Hum¡ª

    The 10 barbarians jolted as their bodies trembled violently. Next, an expression offort appeared on their faces as they stopped resisting and allowed the power to enter their body. Chen Feng was aware that energy support would only have a small effect on these barbarians. However, what if the energy inserted into their bodies was merely a seed? What if the wind was what it was supposed to work on?

    Hu¡ª

    Suddenly, the wind grew chaotic. As for the barbarians, when they stepped forth, a burst of pushing power could be felt. This was... the power of wind! A pure power of nature transformed from energy.

    The gale whistled.

    Hu! Hu!

    "Now!" Chen Feng shouted.

    Shua!

    Almost instantaneously, the barbarians felt the terrifying burst of power. With that, their speed that had been already fast was enhanced by more than ten times, and they reached their targets instantly! At this time, the expression of the faraway strategy department head changed greatly. "We can¡¯t continue waiting."

    Too fast! They were aware of the strength of Chen Feng¡¯s group. However, they had never expected that Chen Feng still possessed such an enhancement ability. If they did not make their move as soon as possible, the head and those guards could very well all die here!

    "Move!" the strategy department headmanded without the slightest hesitation.

    Bang!

    At that instant, time itself seemed to stop. me, ice, venom, storm... numerous powers started gushing out from a multitude of angles, streaming toward the barbarians.

    Speed Reduction!

    Void Transformation!

    ...

    All sorts of terrifying debuff abilities erupted. Regardless of how powerful Chen Feng¡¯s group was, under such a bombardment, the amount of power left to them would most probably be even less than one-tenth, and it would most probably fail to kill anyone in such a condition.

    "Do it!" the strategy department head ordered.

    Hua¡ª

    The Mysterious Organization members charged out. As far as they were concerned, there was simply no suspense to this battle. However, by the time the first person arrived, by the time he soared up before mming the energy dagger down toward one of the sturdy barbarians...

    ng!

    A crisp ringing sound echoed.

    The weapon of ughter he was so proud of was unable to leave even a scar on that sturdy body. To be precise, only a small white line was left on that sturdy body.

    "You... you..."

    Finally, his expression changed greatly. Who the h*ll had said that these were assassins? How was it possible for these guys to be assassins?

    Crack!

    That sturdy body had been ignoring his attack all along. Only after this person nonchntly snapped the head of one of the guards did he turn around to look at the user of the dagger, a simple and honest smile on his face.

    Bang!

    Suddenly, an intense eruption of force could be felt, and next, the dagger user¡¯s vision darkened, never to wake up again. Before his death, the only thoughts in his head were: Who the hell said that these guys are assassins? Who said that they have strong attacks and weak defenses? If I had known this in advance, I definitely would not have approached them...

    Currently, the same scene was repeating everywhere. The strategy department had indeed unleashed their attacks on Chen Feng¡¯s group. Unfortunately, none of the barbarians were injured. Moreover, those barbarians were nonchntly ughtering all the guards right in front of the strategy department head¡¯s eyes. Those powerful guards couldn¡¯t contend against the barbarians at all!

    The head was rmed. "How is this possible?" This was totally different from what they had nned! Since thebatants of both sides were both A sses, the difference in strength shouldn¡¯t be so huge! Evidently, he was unaware that the life-forms he was seeing were called "barbarians." If he¡¯d had sufficient understanding of barbarians, he would have known to never get into melee with the barbarians. Only by putting some distance between them could he stand a chance of victory.

    Bang!

    The earth trembled, and all the Mysterious Organization members were flung away. Only one second had passed since their first appearance here. Only now did Chen Feng notice these newly appeared fellows.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "We have been discovered?" He was not aware that his identity had been exposed long ago. Everything he had been doing so far had been to avoid detection. He was clear on the strength of these barbarians. They could be used to great effect when ambushing and ughtering enemies thatcked understanding of the barbarians. However, the instant someone surpassing A ss got involved in this...

    "Go!"

    Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Feng led the barbarians and ughtered their way forward. Since the Mysterious Organization had already been rmed, it was no longer possible for them to escape. If so, only one option remained for them to survive this: Spirit Sea wood!

 Chapter 410: Dear Senior Apprentice Brother

    Chapter 410: Dear Senior Apprentice Brother

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Stop them!" the strategy department head yelled. They absolutely could not allow Chen Feng¡¯s group entry into the cache of Spirit Sea wood. Who knew what damage Chen Feng would deal to the most valuable resource of the Mysterious Organization if they entered. These d*mnable assassins... No, to be more precise, these meat shields...

    The strategy department head¡¯s gaze raced around looking for any weaknesses in their bodies. He believed that it was impossible for these people to be perfect. Among simr A-ss warriors, they might be more powerful than other A sses, but it ought not to be so one sided! Even if he were to ignore their energy immunity, how could their bodies be so strong as well? This was illogical! As such, he concluded that they most certainly had some weak points. For example...

    "Attack their weak points," the strategy department head said while gnashing his teeth. Truth be told, he did not particrly favor such a method of battling. However, based on the height of these enemies, this seemed to be the most optimal method when battling them.

    The expressions of the rest sank. "For real?"

    The strategy department head bellowed, "Go! All the guards have already been killed. Do you all want to die together with them?"

    As the rest heard this, they sunk into silence. True, this was a battle of life and death! At times like this, they should not be concerned with whether using such a method would embarrass them or not. The only thing they needed to concern themselves with was whether this method would work.

    They exchanged nces. "Understood."

    Shua!

    Once again, numerous figures charged out.

    They were clear that this was their final chance to make a move against Chen Feng¡¯s group before Chen Feng¡¯s entry. This was also the only chance they had at stopping Chen Feng¡¯s group. As such, they had to seed!

    "Kill¡ª"

    Apanied by loud yells, they all charged forward.

    "Mhm?"

    The barbarians turned their sturdy bodies around. Most of them were above three meters in height. As such, they were totally not bothered about those Mysterious Organization members that were half their height. In a nonchnt manner, they swung their huge hands down violently.

    Right at this instant, the strategy department head bellowed, "Do it!"

    At this, the Mysterious Organization members erupted and a terrifying sheen appeared from their hands as their sharp weapons all pierced toward the butts of the barbarians. From this height and from their posture, thoseunched attacks were simply wless.

    Pop!

    A stuffy sound of flesh being pierced could be heard.

    The strategy department head was overjoyed. "Sess!" Indeed! Regardless of how powerful these damnable fellows were, that part was still their weak point. The bigger their size was, the easier it was to attack that part. That was most certainly a fatal weak point.

    "Die!" The strategy department head exerted more pressure as he tried to pierce deeper. However, surprising him, the scene where blood sttered around did not appear. The mournful screams he had expected to hear did not appear either. The only thing he heard was a crazy and rough-sounding grunt.

    "Howl¡ª"

    This single howl seemed to have an extremely profound meaning attached to it.

    The strategy department head was bewildered. What¡¯s going on?

    Next, he saw the huge figure in front of him turn around. In a somewhat bashful and shy manner, the barbarian gazed at him. Instantly, his body chilled, akin to someone that had fallen into an ice cave.

    The hell... could it be...

    At this thought, his heart chilled. An immense palmnded on his shoulder. Next, anguage he was familiar with entered his ears.

    "Old Tie, enjoying yourself?"[1] 1

    The rough voice with a trace of shyness added on lingered in his ears. Instantly, the strategy department head quivered before mping both his legs tightly together, almost fainting on the spot from the scare.

    Bang!

    Next, a mighty force sted his body, flinging his entire body out to smash against the wall.

    I was tricked!

    This was thest conscious thought of the strategy department head. However, he somewhat rejoiced the fact that he had been tricked rather than being...

    Bang!

    After smashing into the wall, hended on the ground and lost consciousness. At this moment, the other Mysterious Organization members were flung out one by one as well. Chen Feng merely watched on as this one-sided battle unfolded. What joke was this? They had actually been nning to mount a sneak attack on these barbarians. How naive! Granted, their weapons were indeed sharp, but for these barbarians, these weapons were akin to toothpicks. How was it possible for these barbarians to be injured with this? Even the poop of the barbarians would most probably be thicker than the arms of these people here. Truly too naive.

    Chen Feng sneered.

    The barbarians appeared at a loss. "Boss, what is the meaning of the Old Tie thing you told us to say earlier?"

    Chen Feng coughed. "It¡¯s nothing important. This is the so-called "etiquette," a way to express your politeness when youe in intimate contact with someone."

    "Oh," one of the barbarians answered knowingly. Next, his huge palm mmed onto the butt of the barbarian beside him, and in a carefree manner with his rough voice, he said, "Old Tie, enjoying yourself?"

    As for the barbarian whose butt had been pped by him, he quivered before reciprocating with a p to the other barbarian¡¯s butt as well before saying, "Enjoyable."

    They started giggling foolishly among themselves.

    "Hehe."

    "Hehe."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Suddenly, he started to wander the reason about these barbarians seemed even more foolish even after he had solved their low-intelligence deficiency through his breeding methods.

    "Cough, cough. Stop messing around." Chen Feng cated them. "Get this over with as soon as possible and leave."

    "Yes," the barbarians replied solemnly. Next, they stepped into the building where the Spirit Sea wood was stored. At this time, at that ce high above the sky, Lu Hun was also speechless as he watched on coldly at everything unfolding. Since when had the guards of the Mysterious Organization be so weak?

    "It¡¯s not that they are weak. Rather, it¡¯s the enemies that are too strong," the Mysterious Organization leader stated indifferently. "These weird giants are immune to energy and have strong physical bodies and no weak points. Even if they have only recently advanced to A ss, theirbat power is equivalent to gic warriors at peak A ss. It is understandable that those A-ss guards failed."

    Regardless of the guards or those from the strategy department, they were all A-ss warriors. As such, it was too difficult for them to deal with these barbarians.

    "What you should be wondering is where did Chen Feng obtain these experts? After all... peak A-ss warriors are not suchmon existences as vegetables," the Mysterious Organization leader stated profoundly.

    Lu Hun narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"

    "Senior Apprentice Brother, I have heard that your wife has a weak power over time?" the Mysterious Organization leader stated indifferently. "I could sense a trace of the same power from the bodies of these people."

    ring at the Mysterious Organization leader, Lu Hun said, one word at a time, "What. Are. You. Trying. To. Say?"

    The Mysterious Organization leader merely smiled. "Perhaps... forget it. Never mind." However, his gaze when looking at Lu Hun was even odder now.

    The veins on Lu Hun¡¯s forehead throbbed. "!!!"

    What do you mean? What gaze is that? Clearly, Chen Feng is the one bringing people to attack your Mysterious Organization! How does that rte to me? What damnable power of time are you talking about? Chen Feng hasn¡¯t been in contact with her for a long... No, wait.

    Lu Hun seemed to have thought of something. That figurine! She had once given a figurine to Chen Feng. That figurine was an item that was equivalent to herself. It possessed a certain degree of the same power she possessed. Moreover, the figurine and she could sense what the other was experiencing. Had Chen Feng...

    No, no way.

    Lu Hun shook his head. It was impossible for Chen Feng to be aware of this. He hadn¡¯t the slightest idea even the methods of using that figurine! But then, what was up with the power of time on the bodies of those giants? Although his junior apprentice brother was an indifferent person, he would most certainly not talk drivel. If so...

 Chapter 411: Deathâ€™s Eye

    Chapter 411: Death¡¯s Eye

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Wait.

    Suddenly, Lu Hun thought of an extremely scary possibility. Could it be that back then, when she had given Chen Feng the figurine, she had also left behind a user manual of some sort?

    That woman...

    The mere thought of this caused Lu Hun to be filled with rage.

    "It seems like you have finally thought of something," the Mysterious Organization leader said indifferently. For an unknown reason, when his senior apprentice brother had raged earlier, he had felt that his senior apprentice brother¡¯s strength had grown somewhat stronger as the green radiance had be even denser than in the past.

    Lu Hun merely snorted as a response. "Hmph." He inhaled deeply and calmed himself before calmly stating, "We don¡¯t have to talk about this matter of mine for now. Your great Mysterious Organization is allowing them to enter as they wished?"

    The Mysterious Organization leaderughed. "Naturally, that won¡¯t be the case. The appearance of these giants is simply something unexpected. With such a power under his control, it is sufficient for Chen Feng to charge into any faction he wishes. Would you believe it if I told you he can even charge into the Gic Union if he wished to do so? However, entering is one matter; leaving safely is an entirely different matter."

    Lu Hun¡¯s eyes shone. "Oh?"

    "Wait and see." The Mysterious Organization leader smiled in a tranquil manner and continued, "It¡¯s about time for those guys to reveal themselves."

    At this time, at the Mysterious Organization, along with the zing rm, the experts that had been out on missions were rushing back rapidly. This was their headquarters, a location those branches couldn¡¯tpare to. One, two, three... numerous gic warriors appeared.

    In a short period of time, the location Chen Feng¡¯s group was at was alreadypletely surrounded.

    A certain amount of B-ss warriors.

    Thirty A-ss warriors.

    ...

    This terrifying organization that had beenpeting against the Gic Union in the dark was, for the first time, utilizing all power it could. As a result, an astonishing might was being disyed. No less than 30 A-ss gic warriors were assembled, sufficient to shock countless people. All this was a mere prelude to what was toe. As time passed, one rming expert after another appeared. Even those A-ss experts had to make way when these experts appeared. These neers were precisely the peak A-ss warriors. The strongest ordinary members of the Mysterious Organization had finally appeared.

    One, two...

    By the time they were done gathering, a total of five peak A-ss warriors, 36 A-ss warriors, and a certain amount of B-ss and C-ss warriors had already assembled. This was truly a shocking spectacle.

    "When did they enter?" some asked.

    "Ten minutes prior."

    "Ten minutes... this much time is sufficient to do a lot of things. Their strength is not weak. There¡¯s no need to try taking them on with brute force. Just prepare everything and trap them to their deaths in there."

    "Trap them to death?"

    "Yes. This will be their grave," a peak A ss stated coldly.

    Some of them were anxious. "Will there be any danger to our cache of Spirit Sea wood?"

    A familiar-looking figure appeared. "No." If Chen Feng were here, he would most certainly recognize this person. This was precisely the department head who had been at odds with the White Church: Tang Lan! The department he was in charge of was also the department in charge of the Spirit Sea wood.

    "You are all clear on the structural makeup of the Spirit Sea wood." Tang Lan gave them a nce before continuing, "For Spirit Sea wood to disy its effect, it undergoes numerous refinements using all sorts of materials. Finally, it must ferment for a hundred years in order to produce the badges that you are all using. Under normal circumstances, Spirit Sea wood is essentially useless and is incapable of showing any sort of power." Tang Lan shook his head slightly. Despite the prowess of the Spirit Sea wood, the limitations were rather harsh as well. "Even I am not able to use it in its raw form."

    The doubts of the others were dispelled with this. "If so, I can be at ease."

    "Oh, right, if we attack, will we damage the Spirit Sea wood?" someone asked anxiously.

    Tang Lan chuckled. "No. A sufficient defense mechanism was put in ce long ago on the Spirit Sea wood. You guys can attack as you wish."

    Only at this did everyone feel relieved. "That¡¯s good, then."

    Suddenly.

    ng! ng!

    A stuffy sound of machinery echoed about. Everyone turned their heads to take a look, and instantly, their hearts jolted as they saw an immense high-energy weapon being brought out and aimed straight at the building, that weapon appearing iparably fierce.

    Fear rose immediately in the hearts of some of them after they saw this thing.

    "That is..."

    "It¡¯s that thing."

    Everyone felt their soul departing bodies. It was the Death¡¯s Eye!

    This was a super-high-energy weapon, a legendary weapon rumored to be capable of destroying the heavens and earth. A single full-powered attack from this weapon was equivalent to an attackunched by a peak A ss with all his power. A single attack from this was sufficient to destroy an entire city. This weapon had been used three times in the past. As a result, three different organizations had been destroyed, not a trace remaining. Not even A sses could escape the destruction caused by this weapon.

    Everyone trembled with fear. "They actually took even this thing out?"

    This time, the organization was truly generous with the resources they were willing to spare. But then, this was reasonable. It had reached a point where even their core resource, the Spirit Sea wood, was being coveted by that Chen Feng guy. How could they not be angry? Now, Chen Feng¡¯s fate of sure death was sealed. Regardless of how powerful those barbarians were, the Chen Feng who was trapped here had no hope of surviving. The only thing the organization needed to worry about was how to get rid of Chen Feng with the lowest amount of sacrifice on their part.

    "Prepare everything."

    "Yes."

    Shua!

    Radiance started swirling around. A dim radiance started blooming from the Death¡¯s Eye. At any moment, this weapon would be able to unleash its attack. Around it, everyone exchanged nces with each other before noiselessly retreating by several meters. They did not have the courage to even stand near this weapon here. After all, this was the Death¡¯s Eye. At this time, Chen Feng¡¯s group had only broken through the outer defense mechanism surrounding the Spirit Sea wood.

    To protect their Spirit Sea wood, the Mysterious Organization had utilized numerous types of defense systems, such as a physical defense system, energy defense system, defense system, and so on. Even with the amount of methods avable at their disposal, they would still require quite a while to break through the defenses.

    First, the barbarians had broken through the energy defense system with brute force before destroying the physical defense system as well. However, when facing thepletely iprehensible defense system, they were helpless. Ultimately, Chen Feng was forced to make a move. This was not all¡ªthere were also ancient defensive restrictions ced here as well. If not for Chen Feng¡¯s Luck Aura and his identity as a master producer, he would simply have had no hope of breaking through.

    Oneyer after another, only after spending 10 minutes did they manage to break through all the defense systems. Finally, the legendary Spirit Sea wood appeared before Chen Feng¡¯s eyes. They appearedpletely different than the smaller portion of Spirit Sea wood Chen Feng had seen in the past. In front of Chen Feng was a thick and solid trunk with numerous branches on it. Unexpectedly, some green leaves could be seen on the branches as well. One side of the trunk was soaked within an incubation liquid, seemingly absorbing some energy from the liquid.

    This was a nearlyplete miniature version of the Spirit Sea Tree. Was this what they had been using to produce their badges? Chen Feng became excited. Lightly, he stretched his hand out and stroked the branch of the Spirit Sea wood.

    Hum¡ª

    The moment he touched the wood, his Luck Aura started raging.

    Here ites!

    Chen Feng sunk into a solemn mood. The Luck Aura that had been still for a long time was once again taking the initiative to attack and started to absorb the power of the Spirit Sea wood. The Spirit Sea wood in front of Chen Feng was withering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance started shining. Chen Feng could feel a mysterious power undting around him as an abstruse yet magical power surrounded his body. Once again, his Luck Aura transformed. At the same instant Chen Feng absorbed the Spirit Sea wood, a stifling sense of vignce red up, and instantly, the entire world seemed to be enveloped by a dark radiance.

    Bang!

    The radiance exploded, and a terrifying force that seemed to have pierced through heaven and Earth appeared.

 Chapter 412: Fatal Flaw

    Chapter 412: Fatal w

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    A terrifying power descended. Instantly, the entire building was reduced to ruin. A ck-colored power had seemingly engulfed the entire world. The entire building was being corroded by the ck radiance at a speed visible to the naked eye. Gradually, the building was reduced into nothingness. The power of that ck radiance was so terrifying it caused one¡¯s heart to palpitate. This was the power of the Death¡¯s Eye, a power of death that could match a peak A ss.

    More importantly¡ªand also the most terrifying aspect of this weapon¡ªwas the fact that it had a range of 100 meters and a firing arc of 180 degrees. This signified that anything within 100 meters of this weapon had no hope of escaping the fate of being ughtered, regardless of who it was or what building it was. Even the earth was corroded, leveling the ground.

    "Had it ended?" someone muttered from amidst the darkness.

    Right at this instant...

    A furious howl resounded. "Howl¡ª"

    Next, a tall and sturdy giant walked out blocking in front of Chen Feng. With his own body, he obstructed a huge amount of the ck beam, his gaze resolute. This was one of the members of Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    The Mysterious Organization members were astonished. "Taking on the attack on behalf of Chen Feng?"

    Tang Lan merely shook his head. "Hehe. He won¡¯t be able to block it..."

    This was the Death¡¯s Eye! If the giant could block it so easily, would this still be the formidable divine weapon everyone knew it as? Regardless of the color, the biggest advantage of light was theck of blind spots. The beam of light that was being blocked by the giant was still capable of shining upon Chen Feng through a different angle.

    "Bang!"

    Instantly, the ck light exploded. The dazzling radiance caused the hearts of countless people to tremble. Ultimately, everything was reduced to nothingness.

    The endless expanse of ck gradually faded, and the Mysterious Organization members started looking over. With such arge-scale attack, regardless of how powerful Chen Feng¡¯s group was, how many of them could have survived? Moreover, even if those giants could survive... how about Chen Feng? Hehe. In the end, he was still an ordinary person.

    Despite their thoughts, when they looked over, they were all startled. At the spot where Chen Feng had stood¡ªthat spot that was supposed to have been erased to nothingness¡ªseveral giants were blocking in front of Chen Feng, using their bodies to block all attacks. One giant was insufficient to block the attack? It did not matter! There were 10 of them in the group anyway!

    Ten giants could be seen surrounding Chen Feng, forming twoyers of sturdy meat walls around him to forcefully take on all the ck beams of light.

    All the Mysterious Organization members nked. "This works?" None of them had expected that those giants would use such a method to protect Chen Feng. Unfortunately, the energy immunity of these giants was shockingly high as well. Not much damage had been dealt to them.

    "This is a unique and dreadful breed of humans," someone said with a heavy expression.

    "It seems like a huge battle is going to start."

    One expert took out his weapon. The Death¡¯s Eye was taken away noiselessly. Since this thing was useless against Chen Feng, there was no point in using it. After all, they would have to pay a terrifying price for every single usage of this weapon.

    Tang Lan sighed. "I originally believed that we would be able to deal with this easily."

    They had originally expected the Death¡¯s Eye to greatly reduce thebat power of Chen Feng¡¯s group. Even if Chen Feng¡¯s group had survived, they should have been gravely injured. Unexpectedly, this was what had happened instead.

    "Battle it is, then."

    Many of them were already getting ready for a battle. However, Tang Lan kept having a bad feeling. As he paid careful attention, his expression changed greatly, especially when he saw the scene behind the meat wall after those giants moved away. Only at this point did he realize that something bad had happened.

    Tang Lan¡¯s expression changed greatly. "Where¡¯s the Spirit Sea wood?"

    As for the other Mysterious Organization members, when they realized what had happened, their expressions became unsightly as well.

    "Could it be, earlier..."

    Some of them were staring at Tang Lan with hostile expressions. Hadn¡¯t he said earlier that the Spirit Sea wood was well protected?

    Tang Lan shook his head. "The defenses were indeed prepared long ago. Fifteenyers of defenses with all sorts of categories. Even ancient restrictions were ced there as well. Let alone the Death¡¯s Eye, even those surpassing A ss shouldn¡¯t be able to break through those defenses by brute force. Although the Death¡¯s Eye is capable of dealing a huge amount of damage, facing these unconditional defenses, it shouldn¡¯t be able to deal any sort of damage. Unless..." Suddenly, Tang Lan thought of a possibility. He looked at Chen Feng abruptly. "You... you removed all the defenses?"

    Chen Feng merelyughed as a response. "Hehe."

    Tang Lan¡¯s expression became deathly pale. "It¡¯s you indeed!" So that¡¯s what happened!

    Just as Chen Feng had finished removing the defenses and been about to escape with the Spirit Sea wood, the Death¡¯s Eye had erupted, coincidentally destroying the Spirit Sea wood. As Tang Lan thought of this possibility, he almost spat blood in anger. Therefore, the most mysterious possession of their organization had been destroyed by him just like that?

    "Chen Feng!" Tang Lan raged, "you must pay with your life!"

    Same as before, Chen Feng mere replied with augh. "Hehe." At this moment, nobody was aware of what Chen Feng was experiencing. If Tang Lan was able to get nearer to Chen Feng, he would most definitely be able to feel the bubbling mysterious power around Chen Feng. That was precisely the power of luck. Had the Spirit Sea wood been destroyed? Nope. The entirety of the Spirit Sea wood had been absorbed by Chen Feng¡¯s Luck Aura!

    As for Chen Feng, he hadn¡¯t been saying anything not because he did not want to. Rather, presently, he was simply incapable of saying anything. He had absorbed too much luck value, stuffing his body full. His Luck Aura was crazily absorbing the luck value to increase its level. As for the excess power of luck, almost all of it was flooding Chen Feng. As such, Chen Feng was being forced to expend all his effort to control the excess power. This power...

    Hum¡ª

    He raised his hand. There was nothing in his hand, yet a heavy feeling could be felt.

    Anger shed in Tang Lan¡¯s eyes. "Kill him! For destroying the Spirit Sea wood, he must pay with his life." Tang Lan was pointing at Chen Feng as he said this despite the fact that he had yet to figure out how Chen Feng had broken through their defenses.

    "Understood."

    The other Mysterious Organization members were extremely furious as well. With the disappearance of the Spirit Sea wood, it was likely that they could no longer upgrade their badges in the future. Only by finding new Spirit Sea wood would they be able to once again upgrade their badges. This Chen Feng was truly a bringer of disaster.

    An expert whistled and said, "Let me do it. I heard that you destroyed a countless amount of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s resources. Unfortunately, every time it happened, I was unable to arrive in time. This time, let me have a taste of your abilities."

    Shua!

    He stood midair while radiance started swirling around him. This was actually a peak A ss, the first expert of the Mysterious Organization to have arrived earlier.

    With a heartyugh, a different peak A ss strode out. "Let me make up the number as well."

    Shua! Shua!

    In session, several other people strode out as well. They might not necessarily join hands to attack Chen Feng, but with them standing there, it was sufficient to prevent Chen Feng¡¯s escape. Several peak A-ss warriors were sufficient to lock down all of Chen Feng¡¯s escape routes.

    "Come, then," the first person shouted.

    Hua¡ª

    Hua¡ª

    Countless A-ss and B-ss warriors charged out, their targets being those fierce-looking giants. After their previous experience against these giants, they had already figured out the giants¡¯ weakness: containment! That¡¯s right, containment. Due to their energy immunity and strong physical bodies, these giants were nearly unequaled. However, the biggest weakness of such unequaled giants was containment. Energy containment methods might be weak against these giants, but what about physical containment methods?

    Bang! Bang!

    Suddenly, the ground started transforming. A peak A-ss warrior with earth-element abilities waved his hand and caused the ground to start transforming. At this, several huge barbarians were forcefully trapped within a pit over 100 meters away. If they wanted to return, they would first have to climb out of the pit.

    As long as they figured out the weakness of these giants, they could trap these giants to death even if they couldn¡¯t kill the giants directly. These traps that one with energy could solve easily had instead be something quite deadly when used against these giants. The only thing the giants could do was slowly climb up out of the pit with their physical bodies. This was the biggest weakness of these giants.

    Shua!

    Stepping on thin air, the expert started walking toward Chen Feng, radiating killing intent with each step he took.

    "And now, enjoy your time in hell."

 Chapter 413: I Shouldnâ€™t Have Taught Youâ€¦

    Chapter 413: I Shouldn¡¯t Have Taught You...

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Ah."

    Chen Feng had a tranquil expression. He was aware that he currently was not powerful enough. With his currentbat power, he could at most only face a peak B ss and would not be able to defeat a normal A-ss warrior. As for a peak A-ss warrior? It was simply impossible for him. But then...

    Shua!

    With a wave of his hand, the heavy power hovered above his hand.

    Tang Lan stared fixedly at Chen Feng. "Be careful." The others all thought that the giants were the scary ones here and believed that by discovering the giants¡¯ weak point and getting rid of them, this battle would most probably end. But for Tang Lan, the scariest person here was still Chen Feng. He had once taught Chen Feng, and as such, he was aware of how terrifying this guy was, and he was also the only one who knew how scary arcane studies and luck could be.

    The others did not seem to mind. "Don¡¯t worry," they said. If even these giants with energy immunity were prostrating before them, what was a mere B-ss Chen Feng? Any random Mysterious Organization member here was stronger than him.

    Bang!

    The ground started copsing. A huge earth-element hand rose from the ground, and the ground trembled. The huge hand grabbed at Chen Feng, nning to squash him to death.

    Bang!

    When that hand moved, it was so huge it seemed to form a canopy covering the skies. That huge terrifying hand descended upon Chen Feng. However, right after the huge hand grabbed at Chen Feng, before the palm could even sp, the wrist of the huge hand exploded. With a resounding explosion, the huge hand formed from the earth element copsed, transforming into countless chunks of earth beforending loudly, kicking off a small storm of smoke and dust.

    What?

    Instantly, the expressions of the others changed.

    The peak A ss was furious. "How is that possible?" Even if this earth-element hand was merely a minor ability for him, it was still an ability even normal A-ss warriors couldn¡¯t deal with, let alone a mere B-ss Chen Feng. Moreover... earlier, Chen Feng hadn¡¯t even done anything!

    "It¡¯s spatial copse," one person said.

    The rest were bbergasted. "Oh?"

    "Due to the previous battle, too many different energies lingered in the air here. After the battle ended, some of the energies dissipated into the air. It is quite probable that some sort of reaction catalyzed as a result, causing the spatial copse. Naturally, due to the stability of energy, such unique urrences should have a nearly nonexistent probability of urring." As he reached here, he paused before continuing, "This Chen Feng... is somewhat freakish."

    Everyone sunk into silence.

    Chen Feng...

    Once again, Tang Lan repeated himself. "It¡¯s better to be careful." This time, the rest nodded their heads in agreement. Even that peak A-ss expert did not add anyments. Even if he truly believed that he was much stronger than Chen Feng, he did not intend to have any mishaps happen when victory seemed so certain. It was precisely as Tang Lan had said; this Chen Feng was somewhat freakish. However, was there a point even if they were careful?

    Shua! Shua!

    Once again, several A-ss warriors made a move against Chen Feng. However, every single time they approached Chen Feng, every single time they were about to kill Chen Feng, some odd urrence would happen.

    Bang!

    Suddenly, the brain of an A-ss expert exploded. This was due to the eruption of a rare energy storm with a low probability of urrence. It had unexpectedly, coincidentally erupted near his head.

    Bang!

    Suddenly, both legs of an A-ss expert exploded. Once again, a spatial copse had happened.

    One...

    Two...

    By the time this happened to the fifth A-ss warrior, the expressions of everyone there were already changing. Finally, they were sure that these so-called coincidences were all Chen Feng¡¯s doing!

    Tang Lan shut his eyes. "Sure enough." Chen Feng had fully grasped the arcane studies Tang Lan had taught him, and Chen Feng was even more proficient than him at them. He had once gasped in admiration at Chen Feng¡¯s freakish talent. He had once been sure that Chen Feng would most definitely surpass him in the future. However, he had not seen iting this fast! How long had it been since he had taught Chen Feng? If he was aware earlier that this guy here was Chen Feng...

    Tang Lan sighed. Chen Feng, Wang Feng... luck, arcane studies... exactly what kind of freak had he created?

    Hu¡ª

    Tang Lan inhaled deeply. Since he was already aware that Chen Feng was utilizing such abat method, things would be simpler to deal with. For something like this where even A-ss warriors were helpless, he was the one who had a better method of dealing with Chen Feng. Against such a unique battling method, one had to employ unique methods as well!

    Tang Lan pointed at a particr B-ss army far away. "Let them go."

    Even if Chen Feng was capable of causing spatial copses, so what? There was more than one B ss here! Among these people, geniuses were notcking either. For them, a battle transcending ss was something asmon as having a meal. There were even some B sses capable of directly battling an A ss! The most terrifying thing was the sheer quantity of them.

    One might be able to deal with one of them, but then, could one deal with 10 of them? Or 100 of them? Or several hundreds of them? That huge quantity was something even people like Tang Lan did not dare to face. As for those barbarians... they were still trapped in the earth-element pit summoned by the peak A-ss warrior earlier. That expert was not capable of hurting them, but he was capable of controlling their movements and preventing their escape. This was thergest weak point of those giants!

    Despite their energy immunity, when facing such an ability capable of altering the environment, they couldn¡¯t do anything. Even now, the pit trapping them was bing deeper and deeper. Regardless of how they exerted their strength, they couldn¡¯t climb up out of the pit. Within this pit so deep the bottom couldn¡¯t be seen above, facing the smooth walls and the muddy ground, these barbarians filled to the brim with strength couldn¡¯t even disy their strength.

    Tang Lan concentrated his gaze. "This time, how are you going to block us?"

    Hua!

    Along with hismand, several hundreds of B-ss members finished their preparations and started stepping forth one step at a time, surrounding Chen Feng in the middle. Each of these people was not weaker than Chen Feng.

    Shua! Shua!

    The Mysterious Organization members stepped forth without stop. Stepping forward with orderly footwork, they approached Chen Feng as a myriad of abilities were being prepped.

    Chen Feng raised his head and nced at them. "Coming?" When these several hundred B-ss warriors worked together, they gave rise to an odd pressure. They emanated an imposing aura in the air around them. This was the power of resonance! Such a terrifying power was something even A-ss experts might fear.

    Chen Feng was clear on his own strength. With his strength, it was possible to defeat five or six B-ss warriors. However, it was impossible for him to clean these several hundred B-ss warriors. It was even more impossible for him to induce spatial copses to deal with all of them. Although spatial copse was a typical example of a super-powerful attack, only a small part of the space could be copsed. In short, this was simply a single target attack.

    On top of that, spatial copses were generated by the collision of the numerous energies left over in the air. Despite the huge battles earlier, there was a limit to the amount of leftover energies in the air. Even if Chen Feng used all of them to cause an explosion, at most, only around 10 of these B-ss warriors would be killed. Evidently, Tang Lan and the others had thought of this as well. That was why those peak A-ss warriors had been withdrawn and a huge amount of B sses had been deployed to obtain victory.

    The corner of Chen Feng¡¯s mouth curled up and formed a smile as he sensed the terrifying power in his hands. "Do you believe that I can¡¯t do anything against this?" This was the very first time he had such a terrifyingly high luck value under his control. The luck value was so huge in amount that he was even feeling burdened by it.

    Chen Feng nted his head as he pondered. If so... what if I want one of them toe... Mhm.

    Shua!

    He pointed midair.

    Suddenly, Tang Lan¡¯s vignce sprang up. "Careful!" However, nothing special happened. "False bravado?"

    Tang Lan was still being cautious. Suddenly, far away, a silhouette appeared.

 Chapter 414: True Steel Armor!

    Chapter 414: True Steel Armor!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Here ites.

    Chen Feng saw that silhouette smiling.

    Mhm...

    That was an extremely ordinary-looking person, a person Chen Feng was extremely familiar with, and also the person most proficient at crowd attacks among all the people Chen Feng knew.

    What is the meaning of this? Tang Lan noticed the change in Chen Feng¡¯s expression and instinctively gazed along Chen Feng¡¯s gaze. There, behind them, a petite figure was running toward them. Chen Feng¡¯s reinforcement? No, it doesn¡¯t seem so.

    From far away, that chick yelled while gasping for breath, "Brother Tang, something happened!"

    Tang Lan¡¯s heart thumped. "Something happened?" Could it be that Chen Feng could actually apply his arcane studies to affect the urrences of other ces, to besiege other ces to relieve his current predicament?

    "What happened?" Tang Lan asked hurriedly.

    "Erm, at themand center..." the chick stated nervously.

    Before the chick could even finish her sentence, Tang Lan¡¯s expression changed abruptly. "Wait." As he looked at her familiar face, he recalled this chick¡¯s introduction in their database.

    "You are..." Suddenly, Tang Lan cried out in surprise, "Xie Zhongtong?"

    That¡¯s right, the one who had appeared here was precisely Xie Zhongtong!

    Tang Lan had met this chick previously, and therefore, he was aware of how terrifying this chick was. It was rumored that this was a chick capable of eliminating an entire family or power all by herself. The only w of hers was the fact that she could only operate solo. And now...

    Suddenly, Tang Lan bellowed, "Careful!"

    "What?" Everyone else was puzzled.

    What¡¯s going on? I¡¯m obviously here to help, why is Tang Lan telling me to be careful?

    Chen Fengughed. "Hehe." It¡¯s toote...

    Shua!

    With a point by Chen Feng in midair, a bizarre power started surging out of Xie Zhongtong¡¯s body, and noiselessly, the power started spreading. Instantly, the pink powered energy enveloped the entire Mysterious Organization.

    Hu!

    A boundless energy started spreading.

    Shua!

    Numerous energy barriers were erected. Those powerful A-ss warriors were capable of mounting an appropriate defense speedily. However, the several hundred B-ss warriors erupted into chaos. The sounds of people gasping for breath started echoing everywhere. As the A-ss warriors that were fortunate enough to survive saw the scene unfolding before them, their chrysanthemums 1 [1] chilled.

    The h*ll, luckily we were able to respond fast enough. Otherwise, we would be...

    The mere thought of what would have happened caused them to be covered all over with cold sweat. At this time, an A-ss warrior walked out. "Hmph! Mere trickery."

    Shua!

    With a single wave of his hand, the pink energy that seemed to cover the entire world was absorbed and the odd energy was purged. Ultimately, Xie Zhongtong¡¯s level was too low. As such, her strength was somewhatcking.

    Despite him erasing the pink energy, the expression on that expert¡¯s face was rather unsightly. That was because the iparably mighty and majestic looking B-ss warriors were now all sprawled all over on the ground, their faces flushed red. It was unknown what unspeakable thing they had experienced in the short few seconds earlier. Several hundred B-ss warriors had lost theirbat power just like that.

    "Why is she here?" As Tang Lan thought of this, his head ached. Why was it that this person who was a "nuclear option" prepared specifically for the Gic Union always erupted right here at their own headquarters? Moreover, every single instance of her erupting seemed to be rted to that damnable Chen Feng. He was clear that with Xie Zhongtong¡¯s strength, she wasn¡¯t even qualified to be gathered here. As such, the only reasons for her appearing here were all sorts of odd coincidences! Arcane studies and luck!

    Tang Lan sighed. "I shouldn¡¯t have taught you back then." However, the more formidable this Chen Feng seemed, the more determined he was to kill this Chen Feng. From Chen Feng¡¯s body, a familiar power could be felt, a unique power that he couldn¡¯t control.

    Such a guy, and such a talent, Chen Feng...

    As Tang Lan looked at the serene-looking youth, he renewed his evaluation of this person. This was a person who was nearly a freak.

    Finally, a peak A-ss expert walked out. "Let me do it, then."

    Tang Lan nodded. "All right." Since things had reached this point, he had no choice but to let those people make their move.

    "Be careful of spatial copses," Tang Lan reminded him.

    That person smiled calmly. "Don¡¯t worry."

    Hum¡ª

    A faint yellow radiance enveloped his body. This was a legendary ability: True Steel Armor!

    At its core, this was still elemental armor. However, different from the ordinary stone or earth elemental armor used by ordinary gic warriors, this True Steel Armor was a super-powerful energy armor only peak A-ss warriors could use. It was able to defend against a stronger attack and was also able to stick close to the user¡¯s skin. It was also a lighter armor.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng pointed midair, and instantly, a spatial copse urred near the expert.

    Bang!

    Along with the terrifying spatial copse, the terrifying power of space started engulfing the surroundings. When this powernded on that person¡¯s body, it was actually obstructed by that thinyer of yellow radiance on his body.

    A mocking smile appeared on that person¡¯s face. "Only this much?" Regardless of how witty Chen Feng was or what methods he employed, this Chen Feng guy was, after all, still a mere B ss. Mhm... on top of that, he was a B ss that had yet to fuse with a B-ss ability.

    That person pointed midair. "This time, I won¡¯t give you any chances. Have a taste of True Steel Prison, an ability I created myself." Next, a silhouette with the same earth-element power appeared midair. This was actually the same thing as what was currently covering his body, the only difference being that this thing was softer, more delicate, and bigger.

    Shua!

    That clump of yellow radiance surged toward Chen Feng and surrounded him like a huge bag, trying to envelop and trap him within.

    "This is..."

    Even Tang Lan and the rest were greatly shaken as they saw this ability. This guy was already this powerful? The True Steel Armor was already the strongest defensive ability among earth-element abilities. In this guy¡¯s hand, he had actually further transformed that ability and created such a magical ability. But then, that was reasonable. Which of those capable of reaching peak A ss were not geniuses?

    Shua! Shua!

    Chen Feng was enveloped by the yellow radiance.

    Chen Feng pointed midair. "Scram!"

    Bang!

    Once again, a spatial copse urred nearby.

    Astonishingly, when that terrifying power of spacended on the yellow radiance, it felt like itnded on cotton. After causing several undtions, multipleyers of the space power were shaken off. A spatial copse seemedpletely ineffective here!

    Traces of astonishment shed in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes. "A defense with a flexible attribute, huh?" At this time, Chen Feng had finally gotten a clear look at the so-called True Steel Prison. In short, this was something akin to a fusion of two True Steel Armors in the shape of a sack that was capable of trapping someone inside. This was a sack with a length of one meter and a diameter of half a meter capable of easily trapping someone inside. Coupled with its formidable defense and its ability to automatically stick close to a person¡¯s skin, it was sufficient to trap anyone to death within, causing the person trapped to choke to death helplessly. This was the True Steel Prison: extremely capable at both trapping and killing.

    Shua!

    With a yellow sh, Chen Feng was already trapped within the yellow sack. As the True Steel Prison sensed Chen Feng¡¯s body within it, it started closing in automatically. Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. He was aware that the moment this sack finished closing in, he would be totally trapped. What to do then?

    Chen Feng shook his head. This True Steel Prison was excessively tough. As such, it was impossible to destroy. He had no idea what he could do either. However, was there a need for him to know what to do? Chen Feng smiled at this thought.

    Brother Tang, in the end, you are still underestimating the power of luck...

    Shua!

    He raised his hand slightly. Instantly, the power of Myriad Illusions bloomed, releasing a bizarre sheen around his hand. With this, a power capable of countering the power of this True Steel Prison appeared around his hands.

    Pu!

    In the seemingly unbreakable True Steel Prison, a hole appeared.

 Chapter 415: Attacking the Weakness!

    Chapter 415: Attacking the Weakness!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the Mysterious Organization, along with the True Steel Prison¡¯s descent, Tang Lan and the rest were watching on nervously. He gasped at this disy of power, and at the same time, he wondered anxiously if Chen Feng would really be trapped by this. After all, this True Steel Prison was a secret art created after modifying the True Steel Armor ability.

    "There won¡¯t be any problems, right?"

    "I doubt it. I once battled him. True Steel Armor has an astonishing degree of toughness. The moment this modified True Steel Prison touches one¡¯s body, that person will start experiencing a choking feeling. Even I can¡¯t guarantee that I would be able to escape it. As for Chen Feng, he is a mere B ss. It is simply impossible..." Before he could even finish this sentence, he halted abruptly.

    What¡¯s up?

    The rest nked slightly before suddenly feeling an odd aura. Instinctively, they looked toward where Chen Feng was. Instantly, their expressions changed greatly. There, on the "sack" wrapped around Chen Feng, a sharp sheen had actually appeared.

    Pu!

    Apanied by a crisp sound, on the topmost spot of the "sack," a hole was forcefully pierced. Immediately after, a huge sharp radiance appeared and started flickering, leaving numerous holes in the True Steel Prison.

    Bang!

    The entire sky was enveloped by the bright radiance, and the True Steel Prison burst apart immediately. On Chen Feng¡¯s hand, a tiny dot of a sharp radiance could be seen flickering about. When everyone put their attention on it, they noted that it was actually a needle, a needle formed through unique energy, an iparably sharp, shiny needle.

    That peak A-ss expert was shocked. "How is this possible? The True Steel Prison is formed through the True Steel Armor..."

    Chen Feng merely sneered. "Hehe. Although the toughness of the True Steel Armor is unequaled, its original form is still a mere armor used to protect the user¡¯s body and provide defense for the user. Have you ever wondered why the True Steel Armor was never altered into a sack and used to knock someone out instead? It¡¯s because the moment its structural makeup is altered, making it softer to assume another shape... it will then possess a fatal weakness. Indeed, it has be softer and has a higher degree of durability. However, in this form, it is also no longer capable of resisting a purely sharp attack. A single sharp needle is required..." Chen Feng waved the needle he had in his hand. "A single stab is sufficient."

    Shua!

    That person¡¯s expression changed greatly. He appeared dazed. "How is this possible..."

    With True Steel Armor as the core, he had been improving and altering it without stop to create a series of abilities. Moreover, he had also created countless code names representing these abilities, such as True Steel 001, True Steel 002, True Steel 003, and so on. Every single one of these abilities was supposed to be iparably powerful! These were all abilities he was proud of! However, for Chen Feng, these abilities were merely something a single needle could defeat? He could not tolerate this!

    His eyes gleamed coldly. "I refuse to believe this! Let me show you my real True Steel Series!"

    Shua!

    A powerful elemental power started converging around his body.

    "True Steel Sword!" he yelled.

    He had actually formed a formidable and sharp sword using his power of True Steel, and the sword was currently being swung toward Chen Feng. This was a different variation of his modified True Steel Armor that used the powerful durability of True Steel Armor to create an improved sword. With this rendition of his ability, the solidity of the True Steel that had originally been durable and had had a good defense had been improved, turning it into something that could break through all defenses, something more firm and upright than the True Steel Armor.

    "Die!"

    Xiu!

    His sword shed down, ripping apart space with a whizzing sound as the sword descended.

    Chen Feng could only shake his head at this. "Is there a need for this?" He had once heard of this True Steel Armor ability. This was indeed a legend-like ability, an ability that created something with the most optimalbination of flexibility and hardness. It had be a powerful and legendary ability that had been continuously passed down for countless years. Was something like this an ability a person could easily modify?

    The previous True Steel Prison had removed its hardness, leaving only flexibility behind and thus giving Chen Feng an opportunity to puncture it with a single needle. And now, this rendition where flexibility had been removed and only hardness was left... Perhaps for a lot of people, and even peak A-ss warriors at a simr level as him, a huge price would have to be paid to face this attack head-on. For Chen Feng, though...

    "Ah." Chen Feng pointed midair. Luck Aura activated at full power. Bloom, Myriad Illusions!

    Shua!

    A bone-piercing chill started blooming from his hand. The moment that True Steel Sword with only hardness remaining came in contact with this bone-piercingly-cold power, the terrifying chill started rapidly spreading to the sword...

    Ka! Ka!

    At this moment, that so-called True Steel Sword that was capable of breaking all defenses actually started shattering. It was actually too hard, resulting in it failing to resist such low a temperature!

    "When something bes too hard, that thing will be too easy to break instead."

    This saying surfaced in the brains of a lot of people when they saw what was happening.

    His alteration of the power of True Steel had indeed granted him more powerful methods of dealing with enemies. However, along with this benefit was also a more distinct weakness for his created abilities. If these weaknesses were not exploited by the enemies, he would naturally be more powerful when using these created abilities. The moment the weaknesses were exploited, though...

    Tang Lan sighed. "You should retire for now."

    That peak A-ss expert was feeling indignant. "I am not reconciled to this!" How could this power of True Steel that he had spent his entire life researching be broken by a little B-ss kid? It was impossible!

    "True Steel Hammer!"

    Shua! Shua!

    The furious peak A ss moved once again. Numerous different abilities modified from True Steel Armor appeared. Unfortunately, every single time, Chen Feng was able to find the weakness of these abilities and exploit them. Some of them were weak against fire, some were weak against water, some were weak against softness... nearly all his creations were defeated by Chen Feng, failing to do anything to Chen Feng.

    He was dazed. "How is this possible..." His lifetime of research was incapable of defeating a mere B ss? Among all these abilities, the strongest and only ability Chen Feng couldn¡¯t exploit was the original True Steel Armor, that legendary ability that had been passed down for so many years. That was because this was an ability with no weaknesses. Unfortunately, this was an ability only capable of defending. If he wanted to use it to kill Chen Feng? It was impossible.

    His eyes gleamed coldly. "Seems like I can only use that, then."

    Tang Lan red at him. "What are you waiting for? Retire. Your ability is indeed powerful. Your different renditions of them each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Unfortunately, he is capable of countering your abilities. What are you worried about?"

    "But..."

    "If you continue your standoff with Chen Feng, everyone else will discover all your weaknesses as well," Tang Lan warned him.

    Shua!

    Instantly, that person came to himself. Wasn¡¯t that true?

    The numerous abilities he had created from his research had originally appeared unequaled and powerful, things nobody could defeat. Due to his confrontation with Chen Feng, he had disyed nearly all his abilities, all of them being countered by Chen Feng. And now, almost every one of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s members was aware of his trump cards and, also, his weaknesses!

    "The more attacks youunch, the more thorough the exposure of your information will be," Tang Lan stated indifferently. Instantly, that person¡¯s expression changed greatly. Only now did he retract the new ability he had been about to unleash before retreating hastily, eliminating all his thoughts of continuing to battle Chen Feng. Silence once again enveloped the area.

    "So it¡¯s Myriad Illusions," Tang Lan stated with a sonorous voice. They had still gained something from the earlier battle, after all. He had finally seen through what Chen Feng had been using. The seemingly endless abilities in Chen Feng¡¯s possession were actually something resulting from thebination of Myriad Illusions and arcane studies! It was no wonder that the earlier expert had been defeated! Regardless of how powerful a person was, as long that person had a weakness, then the weakness would most definitely be countered. Who would have guessed that these two abilities that were seemingly weak could be so powerful whenbined?

    "A pity. Since I am already aware of your methods, I will not give you any chances." Tang Lan inhaled deeply. "Du Lei, go."

    "Yes."

    A simple and honest looking guy stepped out. He wasn¡¯t the strongest among these peak A-ss warriors here, nor was his defense or attack the strongest. His defense was merely average among those of a simr level. The only merit of this person was him being someone with no weaknesses.

    He grinned malevolently. "Chen Feng, let me face you for a bit."

 Chapter 416: No Weaknesses!

    Chapter 416: No Weaknesses!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Du Lei was a peak A-ss expert of the Mysterious Organization. He was the lowest-profile person among the experts of this organization. At the same time, he was also the most unique person. Despite his rather ordinarybat power, the number of peak A-ss warriors capable of actually defeating him was so low in amount that a single hand was sufficient to count them all. The reason for this was that Du Lei was a person with no weaknesses.

    Physical body strength: A ss

    Energy attack: A ss

    Fusion ability: A ss

    Speed... and so on.

    He was a thorough jack-of-all-trades, a person who did not fall short in any aspect. His weakness was also his strength at the same time. It was extremely difficult to actually defeat a person like him. Previously, a particr person who had supposedly surpassed Du Lei in all aspects had challenged Du Lei. Beyond all expectations, when Du Lei had seen that he wasn¡¯t a match, he had decided to leave without hesitating. What had happened next was his opponent failing to catch up to him. With that, things had be somewhat awkward for that person.

    The conclusion from that encounter was that if one wanted to defeat Du Lei, one had to surpass him in everything! Attack, defense, speed, body, energy, almost everything one could think of, one needed to surpass him in. Naturally, due to Du Lei¡¯s all-rounded capabilities, he was also rather conservative in nature. When battling, he would not take any radical or extreme actions, always battling in a steady manner, giving his opponents endless headaches. Even when facing Chen Feng, he maintained his style.

    Despite the provocations hurled out of his mouth, he was still taking slow steps toward Chen Feng as a faint radiance converged around his body. That was precisely Du Lei¡¯s defensive ability.

    One step...

    Two steps...

    Cautiously, he approached Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng frowned. "Conservative faction, huh?" Since Du Lei was focusing only on defending, he decided to directly unleash his own attack instead. The Myriad Illusionary Wind des that had not appeared for a long time once again appeared. Wind des, ice des, venom des... an endless radiance started blooming.

    The numerous shiny des flooded Du Lei. Along with Chen Feng¡¯s eruption, the multicolored des interwove together, resulting in a milky-white radiance.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Du Lei waspletely submerged within the radiance of des. Chen Feng watched on expectantly. He was aware that this was not supposed to be sufficient to deal with a peak A ss, but still, it was still the Myriad Illusionary Wind des he had unleashed with all his might. An attack with this level...

    Suddenly, a crisp sound could be heard. Instinctively, Chen Feng looked over. His pupils constricted immediately at what he saw. There, the milky white radiance faded, revealing Du Lei¡¯s malevolent expression. Not an ounce of damage had been dealt to Du Lei. Not only that, even the defensive barrier Du Lei had erected still appeared perfect.

    This guy...

    Du Lei nced at Chen Feng and coldly stated, "Hehe. The defense erected by me, Du Lei, is not something True Steel canpare to. Although True Steel is capable of defending against stronger attacks, it is alsoden with ws. As for my defense, despite its inability to defend against too strong an attack, as long as the attack does not exceed the energy limitation of my barrier, my barrier will be wless. The damage of your attacks is simply incapable of breaking through my barrier.

    "You are truly not bad. As a mere B ss¡ªno, let me correct myself. Since you have yet to fuse with your B-ss ability, as a peak C ss, you are actually capable of unleashing an attack as strong as an A ss. You are truly extraordinary. It is no wonder that you are capable of bing our most wanted person. Unfortunately, all this ends here."

    Chen Feng¡¯s earlier eruption had indeed scared him a little. However, what he had been scared of was the future Chen Feng, not the current Chen Feng. Before even fusing with his B-ss ability, he was already so powerful. If this guy were allowed to reach A ss... The mere thought of this caused his body to shiver all over. Chen Feng had to die!

    Despite him reaching his verdict on what to do with Chen Feng, he was still approaching Chen Feng cautiously like before, not making any rash moves. One step at a time, he stepped forth, forcing this future genius to his death! For him, something like a "mistake" was nonexistent.

    Chen Feng was somewhat fearful. "He is still not making a move?" The defense of this Du Lei guy was unbreakable. At the same time, this guy refused to attack and had chosen to approach Chen Feng one step at a time, forcing him to the path of death. The moment this guy approached him... a guy with the physical body of an A ss... Hehe.

    Back then, Chen Feng had witnessed with his very own eyes how terrifying the A-ss barbarians were. No, Du Lei was someone who was even capable of using energy. Moreover, he could even use energy to enhance his strength. At that time, at the moment he approached Chen Feng... Chen Feng would most probably die without even knowing how it had happened!

    "He has no weaknesses?"

    Chen Feng raised his hand.

    Hum¡ª

    Luck Aura, activate. Myriad Illusionary Wind des, activate.

    With Luck Aura powering his Myriad Illusionary Wind des, he would allow these abilities to automatically select an ability that countered the enemy¡¯s weakness. This had always been something Chen Feng was extremely good at, despite the fact that this method consumed quite a huge amount of luck value. However...

    Xiu! Xiu!

    Countless amounts of Wind des shot out. As Chen Feng nced at them, his expression darkened. it was still the same rain of Wind des. It was still the familiar-looking multicolored des. It was still the same milky-white radiance after these des interwove together. And simrly, this attack still had the same might and size as his previous attack. There had actually been no changes! Chen Feng was stupefied. This guy truly had no weaknesses?

    With Chen Feng¡¯s present amount of luck value, as long as Du Lei had a single weakness, a weakness he could counter, his Myriad Illusionary Wind des would most definitely shoot out a single type of de!

    Chen Feng felt his head aching. "This is going to get somewhat troublesome." This time, he had truly stumbled upon a person difficult to deal with.

    Bang! Bang!

    The numerous attacks of Chen Fengnded. Unfortunately, all of them were easily blocked by Du Lei.

    "Du Lei¡¯s strength has increased yet again," someonemented.

    A second person gasped in admiration. "True. Back then, this guy was nearly the weakest one among us. Who could have thought that he would actually reach this height today?"

    The first person narrowed his eyes. "That¡¯s to be expected. Since he is improving all his aspects at the same time, Du Lei is the person who improves the slowest. However, the advantage of this method of improvement is that he is a person difficult to deal with for anyone within the same level as him. Moreover, it will be extremely hard for him to die as well. This is the reason he has been able to improve bit by bit in a steady manner, thus bing the current him."

    "This guy..."

    That person shook his head andughed as he made this reveal. "You are all aware that Du Lei is not particrly powerful. Even when all aspects of him are added up together, he barely reaches peak A ss. However, do any of you know that his actual level is still mid-tier A ss?"

    Everyone else gulped abruptly. "What?"

    "Mid... mid-tier?"

    That person concentrated his gaze. "Yes. He is essentially still a mid-tier A ss. Due to his superpowerful all-rounded capabilities, he is counted as a peak A-ss expert as well. Even the present Du Lei is already this strong. Imagine the day when he actually steps into the realm of peak A ss¡ªwho could be his match?"

    So that¡¯s the case.

    Everyone¡¯s gaze became solemn as they stared at Du Lei. Du Lei... was actually this powerful? So he was actually a mid-tier A ss! So this was actually the truth behind this so-called "not the strongest among the peak A sses."

    Tang Lan let out a breath of relief. "Well, I guess no problem will arise this time." He was truly afraid that the Chen Feng he had personally taught would be a cmity for them. He had never expected that Chen Feng¡¯s astonishing talent in luck maniption, coupled with arcane studies, would reach a point where he was capable of countering all enemies with a weakness, even if the enemy in question was a peak A ss. This was truly too terrifying!

    Even the True Steel Armor that was seemingly undefeated under the heavens had been beaten like a dog by Chen Feng. From this, the might of arcane studies was apparent! Chen Feng had truly pushed this skill to its utmost limit. Unfortunately... he would have no chance to do so this time. Arcane studies were something that dealt with the probability of things. When the probability was reduced to zero, it would not work. Facing Du Lei, Chen Feng had zero chance of winning.

 Chapter 417: So Close, Yet Worlds Apart!

    Chapter 417: So Close, Yet Worlds Apart!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    How was one supposed to defeat a person with no weakness? By relying on pure unadulterated energy and an attack that was sufficiently strong. This was a feat a lot of people could aplish. Unfortunately, this did not apply to Chen Feng, as he was too weak. Regardless of the amount of experts he had once in, ultimately, he was still a C ss, after all. Or, to be more precise, he was currently a pseudo B ss.

    Bang! Bang!

    Chen Feng was still attacking without stop. All sorts of methods, tactics, and attempts at finding things to exploit were used by him. However, none of them worked. He could only stare with wide eyes as Du Lei approached him without stop. The distance between the both of them was reducing without stop. Thirty meters, twenty meters, fifteen meters... The distance between them was slowly reducing, slowly reaching a distant sufficient for Du Lei to kill Chen Feng with a single instantaneous eruption.

    Everyone sunk into a solemn mood. "Soon." Was this freakish guy Chen Feng going to finally die? At this time, the barbarians started having an ominous feeling as well.

    "Howl¡ª"

    "Howl¡ª"

    They howled without stop, and after struggling indignantly, finally, one of them was able to shake off the containment and climb out of the pit.

    "Hmph. Go back down!"

    The other peak A-ss warrior pointed midair.

    Hum¡ª

    With that, the barbarian¡¯s climb suddenly transformed into an endless climb.

    Since they were already aware that these barbarians were immune to energy, they would not make any direct moves against the barbarians. Instead, they had chosen to alter the environment and terrain to ensure that these barbarians would never be able to climb out, that they would struggle forever at the bottom of the pit, akin to someone trapped in the bottom of a well, forever unable to see the sky. The barbarians were helping each other climb without stop. However, that peak A-ss warrior was stretching their climb endlessly... never stopping.

    Bang!

    With a loud bang, the barbarian that had been about to climb out of the pit fell back down. Currently, the distance between Du Lei and Chen Feng had finally reached 10 meters. This was also the most optimal distance for Du Lei to insta-kill his enemy!

    He reached Chen Feng!

    Everyone¡¯s eyes shone. At this time, the Du Lei that had always been advancing steadily seemed to transform. His initialbat style of defending steadily instantaneously changed into abat style of extreme offense, his oppressive aura surging.

    Hum¡ª

    Ayer of energy wrapped around his body. With this, the meleebat ability of Du Lei, who already possessed the physical body of an A ss, increased greatly.

    "Now!"

    Xiu!

    Instantly, Du Lei erupted, akin to an arrow let loose from a bow. Finally, this expert that had been maintaining his vignce for so long erupted with his strongest power. The terrifying might and aura he emanated awed everyone there, Chen Feng included!

    Bang!

    The formidable oppressive aura pped at Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    It reached a point where Chen Feng could even feel a stifling feeling of death. He had tried numerous methods to kill Du Lei. Unexpectedly, all his methods had failed. This Du Lei was much more powerful than he had imagined. He was indeed worthy of being listed as one of the peak A-ss experts of the Mysterious Organization. Chen Feng startedmenting endlessly.

    Now, Du Lei was already near him. He could see Du Lei nearing him one step at a time. In a short instant, or perhaps in a single short second, he would most certainly die. He was truly helpless if he had to face an eruption of power from an opponent at this level. Erecting a defense with Myriad Illusions? It wouldn¡¯t work. Despite all this, though, Chen Feng had no fear. If this was the normal him, against an opponent at this level, he would have turned around and fled long ago. Now, though, was precisely the final moment of his Luck Aura¡¯s upgrade.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Chen Feng could feel an invincible power bubbling up within him. His Luck Aura was undergoing a transformation! In this final moment of its upgrade, the umted luck value had also reached a terrifying amount, an amount one could very well describe with the word "unlimited."

    Luck value, huh...

    Chen Feng remembered how, during the first time he touched a piece of Spirit Sea wood, that tiny branch, it had already been sufficient to let him see the future, to see through space and time and witness a lot of events! Now, with this huge trunk here, not only had his Luck Aura been upgraded, he had also umted a huge amount of luck value. What could he do with this? Suddenly, Chen Feng smiled. He recalled his initial spection back then, his spection that with sufficient luck value, he would be nearly omnipotent.

    Anything that was impossible would be possible with his luck value! The arcane studies were only capable of increasing the probability of urrences. As for his luck value, apart from doing this, it was also capable of changing everything!

    Ah.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    Hum¡ª

    A gush of energy emanated out of his hand.

    "Let me see, are my guesses correct? Let me see, when I have an unlimited amount of luck value, am I truly undefeatable? Let me see, will I really be omnipotent?"

    Shua!

    Luck Aura was fully activated. Chen Feng stopped using his Myriad Illusions. He stopped looking for weaknesses. In ce of all that, he employed his luck value in an absolutely unrestrained and hegemonic manner, urging inwardly: I want Du Lei to die!!!

    He stopped trying to break through Du Lei¡¯s defense. He stopped trying to defeat Du Lei. The only thing he wanted was Du Lei¡¯s death, utilizing any possible methods, using any possible ways. Chen Feng stopped thinking and handed everything over to Luck Aura. This time, he wanted to use his luck to murder!

    Shua!

    Abruptly, a huge amount of luck value was exhausted. In the umted luck value that was seemingly unending, an obvious undtion visible to the naked eye appeared. It was evident how terrifying the amount of luck value exhausted this time was.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart thumped. "Did it work?" Despite the fact that Du Lei¡¯s attack was already extremely near to him, despite the fact that Du Lei¡¯s attack might very well kill him in the next moment, Chen Feng still remained unmoving. He wanted to see, to see what exactly would happen when Luck Aura was pushed to its limit.

    Bang!

    Du Lei¡¯s iing attack was so fast that the whizzing sound of space being ripped could be heard as it traversed.

    Everyone there could see with their own eyes how Du Lei had erupted with his strongest attack toward Chen Feng. As for the Chen Feng opposite him, he was standing still like a fool, not reacting in the slightest.

    Someone found it odd. "Has he given up on resisting?"

    "I suppose Du Lei is too fast for Chen Feng to even react?" someone guessed.

    "Is that so?"

    Everyone was unsure. Every single one of them focused their gazes at what was happening, witnessing Du Lei¡¯s charge that was akin to a ferocious tiger and watching on as Du Lei¡¯s terrifying attack erupted instantaneously toward Chen Feng.

    Five meters!

    Three meters!

    One meter!

    Finally, the terrifying attack descended. Such a distance would not be able to pose any challenge to Du Lei.

    Bang!

    The terrifying attack that he had been condensing was finally unleashed at this instant. His iron-like fist, enveloped by a dimyer of radiance that was akin to an exploding sun, mmed down toward Chen Feng.

    "It¡¯s over."

    Everyone sighed. When one allowed an expert with the physical body of an A ss to get within one meter of them, there was no longer any suspense as to the ensuing result.

    "Too near."

    A peak A-ss expert sighed. At this distance, even they who were simrly listed as peak A-ss experts of the Mysterious Organization could not escape death when facing Du Lei.

    Right at this moment, among those barbarians within the huge pit that had been struggling without stop, one of them started yelling abruptly, and instantly, that particr barbarian erupted.

    Bang!

    His figure started moving violently, trying to once again charge out of the pit. The physical body of this barbarian that had already been at A ss was actually transforming once again. From early-tier A ss, his body transformed into middle-tier A ss and his strength became even more terrifying than before.

    The peak A-ss expert responsible for trapping the barbarians merely snorted. "Hmph!" These barbarians had already attempted this numerous times. Had they not given up yet?

    He pointed midair. "So Close, Yet Worlds Apart!"

 Chapter 418: Something Seems Off

    Chapter 418: Something Seems Off

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    So Close, Yet Worlds Apart was a mystical ability capable of shortening the distance between two points, helping the user to speedily travel, flee, or perhaps kill. Naturally, for this particr person who was the user of this ability, in his hands, this ability had undergone countless transformations, bing a true core ability of his. An example would be the simple variation he had created: Opposing Direction.

    By using this variation, he was able to make this ability work the other way around, increasing the distance between two points to the point where the distance became unlimited, stopping others from getting near him. This was simrly an extremely powerful ability. This was also what he had been relying on to contain those barbarians.

    "Go back down."

    In a well-practiced manner, he used the Opposing Direction ability. However, for a reason unknown to him, his ability failed. Perhaps it was because of the shockwave resulting from the barbarian¡¯s sudden breakthrough, or perhaps it was because this was a chaotic battlefield and the energy undtion in the air was too chaotic. Just like that, this ability that had never failed ever since he had be well practiced with it failed.

    Failed?

    He wasn¡¯t really bothered with this failure. If it failed, he could just reactivate the ability again. These giants were already trapped within the pit. Even if he failed once, they would not be able toe out anyway. However, just as he raised his hand, he could see the giant that had been struggling in the depths of the pit instantly vanish.

    Mhm? At this, he nked. What happened? Why did that giant instantly vanish? Instantly? That shouldn¡¯t be possible...

    As he felt the faint trace of energy lingering in the air, he frowned. Had the failed Opposing Direction earlier started working now? This Opposing Direction was an ability that used the ability So Close, Yet Worlds Apart as its base. To be precise, every other ability he had created using So Close, Yet Worlds Apart used this ability as the base to operate. Hence, if these abilities failed, it might fail in doing anything at all, or perhaps the base ability, So Close, Yet Worlds Apart, might be the one that appeared instead. However, such a situation was something he had never seen, even after reaching peak A ss.

    He frowned. "Is it because of the energy here being too chaotic?" In his memories, chaotic energy might result in abilities failing. He had indeed heard of this before. However, he had never expected it to happen here. When he recalled the multicolored des released by Chen Feng earlier, he felt somewhat relieved as he deduced that the multicolored des might be the cause of the chaotic energy.

    Forget it. If one escaped, I can just catch him again. Even if So Close, Yet Worlds Apart has appeared identally, you won¡¯t escape far. You must still be around here. Mhm... let me see, where have you escaped to?

    He raised his head. Instantly, his expression changed greatly at the sight that weed him. Presently, at the main battlefield, Du Lei was erupting with his full power to unleash the strongest attack he could. His iron-like fist was filled with an astonishing energy and was only 10 centimeters away from Chen Feng. The fist that was like a miniature sun would soon erupt and bloom brightly.

    Right at this instant, right before Du Lei mmed his fist down toward Chen Feng, suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Chen Feng. With that huge body, that person actually squeezed himself into the final 10-centimeter gap between Chen Feng and the fist. Du Lei, whose body wasn¡¯t particrly huge, was forcefully pushed away. And now, that powerful fist of Du Lei¡¯s finally erupted.

    Bang! Bang!

    It exploded with a terrifying might. A terrifying force engulfed the entire core region of the Mysterious Organization.

    Everyone¡¯s mind was stretched taut.

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    "Is Chen Feng dead?"

    "No idea. Earlier, something seemed to have appeared..."

    "That¡¯s not possible, right?"

    "It has already reached this point. Are you saying he was still able to block it?"

    "No idea."

    Everyone was confused.

    ???

    Du Lei was dumbstruck as well. With his very own eyes, he saw a huge thing forcefully squeeze into that final 10-centimeter gap between him and Chen Feng right before the attack that was condensed on his fist erupted. He did not even have the chance to get a clear look at what it was that had appeared there.

    What was that? A defensive ability erected by Chen Feng at thest minute? He had no idea...However, he reckoned Chen Feng shouldn¡¯t have been able to block his attack, right? Du Lei was a person with an A-ss physical body and A-ss energy. When the strength of his physical body and energy werebined, even other ordinary peak A-ss experts would die if they were to engage in meleebat with him. How could a mere Chen Feng defend against him? Even after using his defensive trump card, it shouldn¡¯t be...

    The radiance ensued from the earlier explosion faded. By the time everyone got a clear look at what had happened there, they inhaled mouthfuls of cold air. The faraway Du Lei nced at it as well and was immediately rmed.

    There, in front of Chen Feng, a huge body had appeared to block everything for him. Astonishingly, that was precisely one of the barbarians that had followed Chen Feng here. He had actually climbed out of the pit!

    Instantly, Du Lei¡¯s expression became unsightly. "It¡¯s them!"

    Indeed, thebination of his physical body and energy was undefeated. Even peak A-ss warriors might die after receiving such an attack from him. Here, nobody capable of receiving a single punch from him was present. Unfortunately, the barbarians were an exception to this, these fellows brought here by Chen Feng!

    First of all, these fellows were immune to energy. As such, Du Lei¡¯s energy enhancement had be ineffective. Second, the strength of their physical bodies surpassed even Du Lei¡¯s. With this, Du Lei¡¯s physical attack had been rendered ineffective as well. Since both aspects were now ineffective, how could Du Lei hope to have injured the barbarian?

    True enough, with his own eyes, Du Lei watched on as that simple and honest-looking fellow stood up before rubbing his belly. He seemed to have only felt some itch there and was not bothered about Du Lei¡¯s attack at all.

    Bang!

    In a nonchnt manner, the barbarian punched forth to destroy the terrifying energy. Du Lei¡¯s pupils constricted as he saw that punch erging in front of him as it neared his chest, where his heart was. Next, a gush of terrifying force exploded right where his heart was.

    Not good! Du Lei¡¯s expression changed greatly. It¡¯s over!

    The distance between him and this big guy was too small! The distance was so short that after punching the barbarian, the barbarian would be able to counter with his very own punch as well. Yes, his physical body was at A ss. However, the strength of this barbarian¡¯s body was simply much higher than his! Furthermore, perhaps due to the recent breakthrough, the might this barbarian was erupting with had even surpassed the barbarian¡¯s ordinary strength.

    "It¡¯s over." Du Lei felt his scalp go numb as he felt a choking feeling in his heart as he felt that terrifying gush of forceing at his heart. Too close! So close nobody could save him! At this time...

    Tang Lan pointed midair. "Condense!" For the first time, the power of arcane studies bloomed. A transparent undtion appeared in front of the barbarian, causing the barbarian¡¯s fist to pause slightly and giving Du Lei the opportunity to retreat rapidly and escape this cmity. Despite his sessful escape, he had still been shaken by the shockwave of that punch, to the point his whole body felt numb. Without actually touching his body, merely the shockwave through the air had been sufficient to nearly injure him. What terrifying strength!

    Everyone else was stupefied as well. None of them had expected this big guy to appear during the crucial moment of the battle. Moreover, that single instantaneous counter attack had almost insta-killed Du Lei as well. This was too terrifying. If it hadn¡¯t been for Tang Lan...

    At this thought, their hearts trembled. The timing of this big guy had simply been too precise. Wait, this shouldn¡¯t be right. Suddenly, they realized something. Why had this big guy appeared suddenly? Even if his speed was even faster than Du Lei¡¯s, it was not possible for him to be this fast. Right before Du Lei had insta-killed Chen Feng, he had blinked to Chen Feng¡¯s front? This was illogical! Instinctively, everyone turned their heads to look at the peak A-ss warrior responsible for containing the giants.

    Instantly, an awkward expression appeared on that person¡¯s face. "Error. The energy around here is too chaotic, which resulted in an error."

    Everyone: "..."

    What useless team member is this? Du Lei gave him a deep nce and said, "Li Qing, I hope there won¡¯t be a second time."

    Li Qing was aware that it was his fault. As such, he did not talk back. "No, there won¡¯t be."

    Tang Lan frowned. "Error, huh..." He had a faint ominous feeling. If it was merely an asional error, he wouldn¡¯t be too worried. However, if this was the work of their opponent, with their opponent being Chen Feng... An indescribable nervousness surfaced in his heart.

    Presently, Chen Feng was gasping at how amazing luck value was. After exhausting a huge amount of luck value, he was actually capable of causing his enemy¡¯s ability to fail? Or, to be more precise, it wasn¡¯t the ability failing, as an ability shouldn¡¯t fail anyway. Rather, what had happened was the appearance of a w in the modified ability of his enemy. And next, with this w, the barbarian So Close, Yet Worlds Apart had been used on was randomly transported away. Coincidentally, he was transported right in front of Chen Feng.

    Was this the so-called omnipotence ensuing from an unlimited luck value? If so... what if the enemy hadn¡¯t been using So Close, Yet Worlds Apart? What else could Luck Aura aplish? Chen Feng was curious. Naturally, he would not court disaster by trying this out.

    Theoretically, he presently had a nearly unlimited supply of luck value. However, it was merely nearly unlimited. The more difficult his situation became, the higher the amount of luck value that would be exhausted. What if the required luck value exceeded the amount of luck value he had? Chen Feng had no intention of dying here.

    Chen Feng was also rather surprised that Luck Aura could actually fail as well. His initial intention had been for Du Lei to die. What had happened instead was Du Lei being rescued at thest minute. Such an opportune moment for him to kill Du Lei was something that would appear only once. Thebination of the provocation of the barbarian and the barbarian being in a recently broken-through state was what had caused the barbarian to be so powerful back then.

    This was the very first time Luck Aura had failed. Was it due to the arcane studies? Chen Feng looked at Tang Lan. This was the only guy capable of affecting his Luck Aura.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "Tang Lan..." At this time, finally, the barbarian made another move. Clenching his teeth, Du Lei decided to still charge forth. This time, he was sufficiently prepared and would not give the barbarian a chance to insta-kill him.

    Bang! Bang!

    Immediately, a huge battle erupted. The huge body of the barbarian gave him absolute superiority. In this situation, where the barbarian and Du Lei were simr in all other aspects except the size of their bodies, the barbarian was able to obtain the upper hand and beat Du Lei up. At this time, in order to make up for his mistake earlier, Li Qing decided to take the initiative and make a move.

    "Du Lei, hang on there. Let me trap that big guy."

    He locked his gaze onto that 3.5-meter-tall giant. Despite the opponent¡¯s strength, against such a person totally incapable of using energy, he only needed to...

    Du Lei was finding it hard to hang on. "Faster."

    "So Close, Yet Worlds Apart!" Li Qing said with a solemn expression. When he saw the barbarian stepping out, he focused and activated his ability on the ground under the barbarian¡¯s foot. As long as the barbarian stepped down, the location of the ground he stepped on would most definitely shift.

    This was the effect of his superpowerful modified ability. The next step the barbarian took, he would end upnding back into the pit.

    Shua!

    With a sh of light, that big guy stepped down. However, nothing seemed to be happening.

    "Hey?" Li Qing was dumbfounded. Ineffective? How was that possible? The activation had obviously been sessful. He could clearly feel the energy in his body reducing. This signified the sessful activation of his ability. If so, how was it possible for it to not work? Was it due to that big guy¡¯s energy immunity? That shouldn¡¯t be the case either. He was shifting the ground rather than that big guy!

    Du Lei nced at Li Qing. "What¡¯s going on?"

    Li Qing feigned a calm disposition. "Nothing. I have to first discern the distance, that¡¯s all."

    Shua! Shua!

    He continued using his ability against that big guy. However... it failed! It failed again and again! His ability went through more than 10 activations, yet nothing happened.

    Li Qing¡¯s expression became somewhat unsightly. "How is this possible..." He was a peak A ss, the strongest among the Mysterious Organization members when it came to enemy containment. Nobody was willing to face him in battle, as it would be too annoying, regardless of victory or defeat. This was what made Li Qing an extremely unique existence among the Mysterious Organization members. But now... why had his ability failed? Li Qin yelled inwardly.

    Du Lei nced at Li Qing, doubt all over his face. "Can you do it or not?" He had decided to forget the earlier incidence where he had been screwed by Li Qing, but now, when he was in this crucial moment, this teammate of his was still cking. He found this uneptable!

    "Let me try again," Li Qing said while gnashing his teeth.

    Bang!

    He used a huge amount of energy this time. This time, he was going to utilize the strongest ability he had. He refused to believe that it would fail. He refused to believe that this big guy was so powerful!

    "By my name!" Li Qing nned to activate his ability. At this moment, suddenly, Tang Lan realized that something seemed wrong. Everyone was paying close attention to Li Qing. The only exception was Tang Lan, who had been staring straight at Chen Feng all this while. He could see clearly how every time Li Qing made a move, Chen Feng would wave his hand in a nonchnt manner. That motion of his...

    Suddenly, Tang Lan asked, "Li Qing, did you sessfully activate your ability in your previous attempts?"

    Li Qing was unsure. "Yes... I guess? The energy required was indeed exhausted."

    Tang Lan¡¯s mood sank. "If so, your ability has indeed been sessfully activated." The ability had been sessfully activated, yet the supposed effect had not appeared? That was not possible! Since the ability had been sessfully activated, it wouldn¡¯t disappear immediately. Something had to happen, even if it was the ability being bounced back. That was the only logical thing that could happen. This was also what was supposed to happen to Li Qing¡¯s ability. Contain... what was he containing? Li Qing was using his own ability to contain those damnable big guys! If so...if some mishap was happening to Li Qing¡¯s modified ability, or perhaps his ability failing, what would happen? The base of all Li Qing¡¯s abilities was the So Close, Yet Worlds Apart ability!

    Wait!

    Suddenly, Tang Lan had an ominous feeling. Previously, with Li Qing¡¯s Opposing Direction ability, he had created a prison. The so-called "failures" of Li Qing¡¯s ability could very well not be "failures" at all. Rather, it was the same as the first time it had happened, where these activations of his ability were transformed back to their base form, the So Close, Yet Worlds Apart ability. As for the direction...

    Suddenly, Tang Lan felt like the position the barbarian was standing in seemed somewhat off. As he paid more attention to it, he noted that Li Qing and the barbarian were actually standing in a straight line along with the pit trapping the other barbarians.

    Could it be...

    Abruptly, Tang Lan shouted, "Li Qing, stop!"

    Unfortunately, it was toote.

    "Ah?" Li Qing stopped moving with a bewildered expression. Despite that, the final ability he had been unleashing earlier had already been released. Once again, Opposing Direction was activated.

    Shua!

    Once again, that unique ability of his vanished. However, this time, it no longer vanished without leaving any trace behind. Rather, it caused the earth to suddenly start trembling.

    The expressions of everyone else changed greatly from shock.

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    Bang! Bang!

    A certain location started trembling without stop. As everyone gazed over, their expressions changed greatly. The trembling was happening exactly where Li Qing was trapping those giants. There, the prison created using Opposing Direction by Li Qing had thoroughly copsed. With their super powerful A-ss bodies, those barbarians leaped out and directly charged out of the pit.

    Li Qing¡¯s expression changed greatly. "How is that possible?" The pit trap created by him was something...

    Tang Lan sighed helplessly. "It¡¯s your ability. All the abilities you activated ¡¯coincidentally¡¯ failed and transformed back into their base form, So Close, Yet Worlds Apart. Next, they ¡¯coincidentally¡¯nded on your pit trap."

    Shua!

    Li Qing¡¯s expression changed greatly at this revtion. The pit trap he had created was something formed using the Opposing Direction ability, which worked in a manner opposite of the base ability. If the base ability were instead used on the pit trap, it would most definitely fall apart. In short, all the times he had unleashed his ability earlier... He had actually released these trapped giants with his own hands?

    "Are you a spy sent here by Chen Feng?" Tang Lan asked, grumbling.

 Chapter 420: Omnipotence for Real?

    Chapter 420: Omnipotence for Real?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Li Qing nked. "How is this happening..."

    "This trash." Du Lei did not even feel like talking to him anymore. Initially, he had been on the verge of killing Chen Feng. Thanks to this guy¡¯s stupid So Close, Yet Worlds Apart ability, he had almost gotten counterkilled instead. As he saw the numerous giants with superb melee ability being freed from the pit, he had a bad feeling. This battle was bing moreplicated now...

    A malevolent expression surfaced on Li Qing¡¯s face. "I will trap them again." The face of an illustrious peak A ss like him couldn¡¯t be lost here.

    Tang Lan merely waved his hand, telling Li Qing, "Just stop. If you continue, you will only mess things up." Tang Lan calmly continued, "All your abilities have ¡¯So Close, Yet Worlds Apart¡¯ as the base. Abilities with opposing effects, improved effects, or mixtures of effects, as long as these abilities are not sufficiently perfect, there will be some w somewhere. All these are things the opponent can exploit. Perhaps you would never fail normally, but here, in this unique situation, facing this unique opponent, you will most certainly fail. Chen Feng has surpassed me when ites to arcane studies... Would you believe me if I said that the next So Close, Yet Worlds Apart you release will shift Du Lei, me, or even others away?" Tang Lan nced at him. "Just retreat."

    Li Qing paled. He had never imagined that a day woulde when he became baggage! He was a peak A ss! An illustrious peak A ss!

    With low spirits, he retreated. The moment he raised his head again, the first thing he saw was a certain indignant person researching his "True Steel Armor" without stop. As they exchanged gazes, they started gleaming with tears. What the h*ll was up with the world?

    Bang! Bang!

    By now, all the barbarians had escaped their entrapment. With a wave of Chen Feng¡¯s hand, he used his unlimited energy and luck value to easily produce gigantic energy armor for each of the barbarians. With this, the might of each of the barbarians increased dramatically once again.

    Du Lei: "..."

    What useless Li Qing!

    "Howl!"

    "Howl!"

    The barbarians that had been trapped for a long time started crazily making their move. Immediately, chaos erupted.

    "Kill them."

    Finally, the experts of the Mysterious Organization made their move. Apart from Li Qing and the other guy, all other peak A-ss experts entered the fray. However, just as the battle erupted, the scene sank into chaos, all sorts of odd abilities shooting off. Before those abilities could even be released properly, they would all explode suddenly.

    "Holy shit, what the hell are you doing?" furiously asked a guy whose chrysanthemum had almost been sted apart by his friend.

    The other guy was puzzled as well. "I... I was merely trying to boost your power." When had his power-boosting ability transformed into a chrysanthemum-ster? Something simr was repeating everywhere. The whole battleground became chaotic. The formidablebat power of the Mysterious Organization members couldn¡¯t even aplish much before they all sank into chaos. All sorts of screams and shouts could be heard everywhere, akin to a bustling wet market. Only the roaring voices of the barbarians remained distinct.

    Bang! Bang!

    The barbarians started beating everyone up!

    Almost every time the Mysterious Organization members tried using their abilities, an ident would happen. One time after another, they kept getting injured by their ownrades. After several repeats, they did not even dare to do anything anymore.

    Everyone was bewildered.

    "What the hell is going on?"

    "It¡¯s Chen Feng." Tang Lan¡¯s gaze skipped past all those terrifyingly powerful barbarians andnded on the Chen Feng behind them. With a serious gaze, he said, "This guy is the most terrifying one among them."

    The others might not have been able to notice this, but he had witnessed with his own eyes how, every time Chen Feng waved his hand, chaos would erupt in the crowd. This guy was the most terrifying one here. But then, arcane studies could truly be used to such an extent? Even affecting the abilities of gic warriors?

    Nowadays, every single A-ss warrior had a set of abilities unique to them. This set of abilities was created by using a single ability as the base to create aplete system. Even for Chen Feng himself, the base of his abilities was the Wind de ability! With Wind de and Myriad Illusions, Myriad Illusionary Wind des was birthed. With Wind de as the energy supply and Energy Equipment as the auxiliary ability, an even more powerful Energy Equipment could be created! How about other gic warriors? They all operated in a simr fashion as well.

    Generally, a single ability would be used as the base. After fusing with other abilities, one wouldbine the different abilities endlessly to create all sorts of secret arts! An example would be the earlier Opposing Direction. If one were to be honest, this Opposing Direction was simply the fusion of So Close, Yet Worlds Apart with a certain ability capable of reversing an ability. As for Chen Feng, he had used certain methods rted to arcane studies to disrupt thisbination, causing the pure So Close, Yet Worlds Apart to be the ability unleashed instead. Ultimately, the pit trap had been destroyed.

    Could arcane studies really aplish such a feat? Tang Lan truly had no idea. But then, he was clear that this was precisely what Chen Feng had achieved. If so...

    "Everyone, listen. From now on, only use perfect abilities," Tang Lanmanded. "Any abilities that might fail, even if the probability is only 0.0001%, must not be used. If you don¡¯t have such an ability, then just use a basic ability instead of a fused ability. Do not give Chen Feng any chances to exploit!"

    Finally, everyone understood the reason for the various mishaps earlier. "Yes."

    Chen Feng felt somewhat regretful. "Have I been found out?" When he noticed that Luck Aura could be utilized in such manner earlier, he had concluded that he would be able to use his Luck Aura to cause all their abilities to fail to clear a bloody path out of this ce. Unexpectedly, Tang Lan had figured him out in such a short period of time. But then, that was understandable. Tang Lan was a person aware of Chen Feng¡¯s maniption of luck. The only thing Tang Lan had gotten wrong was the crediting all these feats to Arcane Studies.

    Bang! Bang!

    Once again, a huge battle erupted. All the Mysterious Organization members were using their basic abilities, attacking in the most traditional method by sting their energy out. Under siege of this huge group of people, the barbarians once again sunk into a predicament. There was really no helping this, though, as the enemies were truly too numerous. Slowly, the Mysterious Organization regained the upper hand.

    When Li Qing and the rest figured out the issue, they also participated in the battle. This time, they were only using basic abilities as well, as they no longer had the courage to use any fused abilities.

    Bang! Bang!

    The barbarians were once again forced into an impasse.

    Indeed...

    Chen Feng was feeling somewhat regretful. When the same move was repeatedly used, it would indeed be seen through. He had initially believed that this method could be used to directly kill a path out of this ce.

    Shua! Shua!

    "Kill him!" Apanied by a resounding shout, two peak A-ss experts charged straight at Chen Feng. Evidently, after witnessing how terrifying the freakish methods of Chen Feng were, they were no longer willing to give him any chances to do anything. Instantly, their terrifying abilities enveloped Chen Feng. Thanks to the idiotic Li Qing from earlier serving as an example, these two had smartly decided to use their basic abilities, basic abilities that were without w. This time, they had to ensure Chen Feng¡¯s death!

    Hehe.

    As a response, Chen Feng merely chuckled. Since his earlier method was no longer working, there was no longer any need to employ that method. In any case, his earlier method of exploiting the Opposing Direction and So Close, Yet Worlds Apart was too reliant on coincidence. After all, if Li Qing hadn¡¯t been here, this method wouldn¡¯t have worked at all. As such, now, he was truly curious as to what would ensue when he used his Luck Aura without Li Qing¡¯s ability.

    Shua!

    Lightly, he raised his hand.

    Hum¡ª

    Luck Aura bloomed. Suddenly, the sky darkened, almost as if it had been shrouded by a denseyer of ink. Next, a power that caused one¡¯s heart to palpitate started surging out. In an absurd manner, everyone felt like an aura of death had wrapped around their hearts.

    And now, darkness descended upon them.

 Chapter 421: Black Domain, Scared Now?

    Chapter 421: ck Domain, Scared Now?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Mysterious Organization.

    When the attacks of the two peak A-ss warriors descended, when they reached Chen Feng, when they were merely a tiny distance away from Chen Feng, suddenly, the earth trembled.

    Mhm?

    Everyone¡¯s expression changed slightly. The two peak A-ss warriors clenched their teeth and ignored the earthquake, focusing on first killing Chen Feng. Right at this instant, two terrifying ck lights gushed out from underground.

    Pu! Pu!

    The two figures were directly pierced through by the two ck lights and were forcefully flung away. Just like this, two peak A-ss warriors were killed.

    "What?"

    The expressions of the Mysterious Organization members changed greatly. Dead? Just like that? Illustrious peak A-ss warriors, who were almost the strongest existences as known by the public, were dead just like that? Shocked, they looked over and noted that on the ground before Chen Feng, two huge holes could be seen. A great amount of terrifying ck light was gushing out from these two holes.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The ck radiance gleamed endlessly and the earth trembled without stop. The ck light that had erupted suddenly was gushing out like the water of a flowing river.

    Ssh...

    The ck stream surged out without stop.

    "Careful!"

    The expressions of the Mysterious Organization members changed greatly at this sight. They had yet to recover from their stupor from witnessing two peak A-ss warriors getting insta-killed. As they saw this freakish development, the only thing they could do was step back with fear.

    D*mn it! What terrifying thing had this Chen Feng summoned?

    No matter how they looked at it, regardless of the natural phenomenon in the sky or that terrifying stream, neither seemed like something Chen Feng was capable of doing. What trump card did this guy possess, exactly? They had no idea. The only thing they could do was retreat without stop for fear that they would get corroded by the ck stream. After witnessing with their own eyes how two peak A-ss warriors had been insta-killed, they were no longer capable of keeping their calm. Unknown to them, though, Chen Feng was simrly dumbfounded as well.

    The f*ck! What the hell is this?

    Chen Feng had a "what the f*ck" feeling as well. He was aware that presently, despite the fact that there were no abilities simr to So Close, Yet Worlds Apart here, Luck Aura would still work by creating coincidences out of thin air. However, this sudden eruption had somewhat exceeded his expectations. Two peak A-ss warriors getting insta-killed? As Chen Feng stared at the stream of ck colored liquid, he felt fear in his heart.

    "Careful!" Chen Feng started telling the barbarians to retreat speedily.

    "Howl¡ª"

    The barbarians were aware that this was a crisis. Hence, they followed Chen Feng as he retreated. Unfortunately, Chen Feng and the barbarians were, after all, still too near. As such, the ck stream was going to reach his feet very soon.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. "Its over."

    This freaking Luck Aura... Yes, you indeed insta-killed two peak A-ss warriors. But then, it seems like both the barbarians and I are going to get insta-killed as well, right? F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!

    Chen Feng did not even know how he should begin berating this sudden fate.

    He fully activated his Luck Aura, hoping that it would work one more time and rescue him and the barbarians. Unfortunately, regardless of how he urged his Luck Aura, there was no consumption of luck value.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. It¡¯s over... Since no luck value was being consumed, did it not signify that this crisis couldn¡¯t be reversed? Where was the promised omnipotence?

    Hua¡ª

    The ck liquid streamed past Chen Feng¡¯s feet. Next... they started streaming away from him.

    Hey?

    Chen Feng stared at the stream flowing beneath him that was deep enough to reach his ankles with a dumbstruck expression. The barbarians were simrly dumbstruck as well. This seemingly terrifying stream had not dealt any damage to them? Why? Chen Feng had no idea. In any case, he had a fast reaction time. As he saw the faraway Mysterious Organization members that were retreating in fear, an idea surfaced in his brain.

    "Go!" Chen Feng told the barbarians, urging them to take the initiative and charge forth. His overcast voice started echoing about: "Hehe. It¡¯s about time I let you guys witness what true power looks like." In order to add to the atmosphere, he had even used Myriad Illusions to use some minor abilities capable of magnifying his voice.

    "Are you scared? Are you nervous? This is precisely my ck Domain!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s domineering voice spread throughout the Mysterious Organization. "Now, run for your lives... hahahahahaha."

    Hua¡ª

    Hua¡ª

    The ck liquid streamed out without stop. As they heard this, the Mysterious Organization members were all rmed. This thing here had truly been summoned by that Chen Feng? ck Domain? What the h*ll was that?

    The only thing that gave them some sort of relief was the fact that they were rather far away from Chen Feng. Despite how scary that ck stream was, its speed wasn¡¯t particrly fast. But then, that Chen Feng...

    Bang! Bang!

    Suddenly, the earth started trembling again. As they raised their heads, they saw Chen Feng sitting on top of the barbarians chasing after them. Those d*mnable big guys were actually not affected in the slightest when stepping through the ck liquid and were taking wide strides to chase after them with a terrifying speed. D*mn it! This was indeed something Chen Feng had summoned! Only a power he himself had summoned would be under his control in this manner.

    Without the slightest hesitation, Tang Lan issued the order to retreat. "Go!"

    Shua! Shua!

    All of them started fleeing frantically as Chen Feng¡¯s group pursued them amidst the ck water, appearing exceptionally fierce. None of them had expected that the operation to encircle and annihte Chen Feng would transform to their current scene in such an absurd manner. The members of this huge Mysterious Organization were actually being pursued by Chen Feng!

    Run, run, run! This was the only thought in a lot of them. They somewhat rejoiced the fact that the ck water was ineffective against buildings. Thereupon, a lot of people fled to hignds nearby, and some started flying. Despite all this, none of them had the courage to approach Chen Feng¡¯s group. What joke was that? Those giants were all A sses!

    On top of that, Chen Feng himself was also incredibly terrifying. He only needed to nonchntly drag one of them toward the ck water and that person would die before even knowing what had happened. They had no ns to die just like this.

    Chen Feng appeared regretful. "Hateful. I had originally nned to kill all of you right here..."

    Shua!

    These words sent a chill up the spine of all the Mysterious Organization members as they started running even further away from Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng¡¯s cold voice echoed about: "Hmph! A day wille when I kill all of you!" Calmly, he patted the barbarian below him. "Let¡¯s go."

    Howl!

    The barbarian responded with a single howl. Next, the group of barbarians started running and left while moving through the ck water. As for the Mysterious Organization members, they merely watched on from far away, not daring to even pursue. What joke was that? While trying to kill Chen Feng, two peak A-ss warriors had been easily defeated, and another two peak A-ss warriors had been insta-killed. With this, who had the courage to go after Chen Feng?

    This guy was excessively terrifying. What could they use to chase after him? Who would even dare to chase after him? Finally, the figures of Chen Feng and the barbarians were no longer in sight. The direction Chen Feng¡¯s group had run in had none of the ck water. However, as they saw the ck water streaming around... they instead let out a breath of relief. Finally, he was gone! Yes, that terrifying demon Chen Feng had finally left.

    Tang Lan sighed. "This is the strength of our most wanted person?" With the strength of Chen Feng, sses were now meaningless to him. Apart from their leader, who could defeat Chen Feng? At such a young age, Chen Feng had actually reached such a height? Sigh.

    Everyone else sunk into silence as well. The grand and magnificent Mysterious Organization had actually suffered defeat two times in a row at Chen Feng¡¯s hands. Two times! This was not a game! Presently, even after Chen Feng¡¯s departure, they still needed to deal with that seemingly boundless ck water. At the ce where Chen Feng had originally stood, the ce where the two peak A-ss warriors had been insta-killed, ck water could still be seen gushing out without stop, nting fear in all their hearts.

    "What exactly is this?"

    "ck Domain? Why have I never heard of it?"

    "Is this something Chen Feng created himself? He has way too many trump cards, and a huge amount of self-created abilities to top it off."

    "What should we do about the ck water?"

    Everyone watched on with a powerless feeling. Currently, their entire headquarters had already been flooded by this ck water, and they did not dare to step down at all. Those capable of flight were all hovering in the sky and silently staring at the flowing ck water. As for those incapable of flight, their circumstances were truly rather hrious. Some were up on streetmps, but some were huddled together above some high-rise buildings to the point that all four of their limbs were pasted to the wall, them not daring to move in the slightest. None of them had the intention of getting insta-killed by the ck liquid.

    "Since Chen Feng is no longer here, this thing should vanish soon, right?"

    "I guess so?"

    As they saw the unending water gushing out of the holes, they couldn¡¯t be sure.

    Tang Lan shut his eyes. "Let¡¯s report this to the leader." This thing had developed in a direction that surpassed their imaginations. The initial operation to surround Chen Feng had transformed into an operation where they were ughtered by Chen Feng instead. This was no longer something he could handle by himself. Only their leader could do something about this. Or, perhaps, the fellow apprentice brothers of the leader. Right at this instant, the sky started drizzling with a light rain.

    St!

    The ck-colored raindropsnded on the ground. One of the Mysterious Organization members was rmed to see that a ck-colored raindrop hadnded on his hand. He cried out in rm and nearly fell off the top of the streetmp he was holding onto.

    "What happened?"

    "It¡¯s raining!" he stated, horrified. "It¡¯s ck raindrops, the same as the ck water on the ground...Be careful!"

    "What?" As the rest heard this, their expressions changed greatly.

    Shua! Shua!

    Numerous defensive barriers were instantly erected.

    St! St! St!

    The crisp sound of the pattering rain could be heard as the Mysterious Organization members frantically erected their defenses, all afraid of having these scary ck raindropsnd on them. Fortunately, those here were all experts with formidable strength. As such, the instant the rain started drizzling down, their defenses were fully erected.

    They looked at the person who had been hit by a drop of rain earlier. "How are you?"

    That person still had a lingering fear in his heart. "I¡¯m fine. Only a single drop, and nothing is happening. However, my hand feels somewhat itchy, but perhaps it¡¯s just my misconception. I already consumed some healing liquid."

    "Mhm."

    Everyone nodded.

    "Make sure you check your condition properly. If there¡¯s truly no other choice, just cut your arm off. We can help you construct a new armter," Tang Lan stated with a solemn expression.

    That person nodded. "Understood. I won¡¯t cause you all any trouble."

    They had seen far too many terrifying viruses and infections. Sometimes, due to them being too softhearted to act decisively, things had developed to the point where a biochemical cmity had arisen from those viruses and infections. This was the scariest prospect. Since these people here were capable of being the core members of the organization, their mental states were sufficiently powerful as well.

    Thereupon, they started defending against the rain without stop.

    St! St!

    ...

    Ssh!

    ...

    Slowly, the rain became heavier. From the initial pattering, it unfolded into a majestic heavy rain. Tang Lan and the rest watched silently at the holes that were spurting ck water out without stop. Since the rain and the gushing ck water had never stopped, they could only wait here.

    "What do we do about those who just returned from outside?"

    "They ought to not be foolish enough toe over here."

    "Mhm..."

    "Be careful."

    They were all on high alert, waiting here, staring at the holes. Suddenly, within a certain building, someone walked out. "Hey, howe it¡¯s raining?"

    "???"

    Tang Lan and the rest were rmed as they saw this.

    As they concentrated, they discovered that this was the very person Chen Feng had used to get rid of all their B-ss warriors and who had ultimately been tossed away by Tang Lan: Xie Zhongtong! Tang Lan recalled that earlier, she had been knocked unconscious before being left in the hall of one of the buildings nearby. She had actually woke up at a time like this? D*mn it!

    "Careful!" Tang Lan shouted, and he was about to charge out to rescue her.

    "What?" Xie Zhongtong stared at her surroundings in a daze. She truly hadn¡¯t felt any sense of crisis. Thest thing she remembered was resting in her house. Suddenly, she had reappeared somewhere, and suddenly, she had lost her consciousness. Even now, her brain felt somewhat giddy and she had no idea what was going on.

    St!

    She stepped into the ck water.

    "What am I supposed to be careful about?" She looked at the people around her with a bewildered expression. Why were all these people behaving so weirdly?

    Ka!

    Tang Lan¡¯s charging figure halted abruptly. This youngdy... had stepped in the ck water just like that? Their expressions changed greatly before assuming a solemn expression. They were aware that this youngdy that had once brought them happiness was going to perish here.

    "Yi, there¡¯s water here?" Only now did Xie Zhongtong notice that not only was there water dropping from the sky, the ground was already flooded with about 20 or 30 centimeters of water.

    Everyone sighed. Everything was over for this youngdy. Next...

    "How annoying, my shoes are now wet." With a kick, Xie Zhongtong flung her shoes out as she decided to walk barefoot instead. Next, she stared at all the "seniors" hiding on top of the walls and buildings, feeling extremely curious.

    "What are you guys doing?" Xie Zhongtong asked.

    Everyone else: "..."

    Nothing was happening? They were all astonished at the fact that Xie Zhongtong was still fine. One had to know that even those two peak A-ss warriors earlier had been insta-killed. Thus, some of them started summoning some life-forms before sending them into the water. Surprisingly, those life-forms started ying happily in the water.

    They widened their eyes. Nothing is happening?

    Finally, one of them decided to step into the water. "Let me try it out." He was fine. He was truly fine. That person inspected theposition of the raindrops and noted that there was truly nothing unusual about these raindrops.

    "This, this, this..."

    Everyone was dumbfounded. How was this possible?

    Hua! Hua!

    More and more people started stepping into the water. Some started inspecting the water with their abilities and noted that nothing was wrong with it. Instantly, Tang Lan¡¯s expression became unsightly.

    Suddenly, someone said, "Erm. I just received a message. Seems like this ck rain is falling at a lot of other ces as well."

    Tang Lan: "..."

    His face was now scarily ashen.

    "In short..." Tang Lan inhaled deeply before continuing, "This whole f*cking incident is unrted to Chen Feng in any way?"

    "I guess... so?" that person answered carefully as he stared at Tang Lan¡¯s expression.

    Tang Lan: "..." Scammer! He¡¯s a freaking scammer! What f*cking ck Domain? Your whole family is the ck Domain!

    Fury raged in Tang Lan¡¯s heart. He had never expected that Chen Feng¡¯s so-called ck Domain was simply a lie. A lie Chen Feng had made up to flee from them! As he recalled the disappointed expression feigned by Chen Feng due to him failing to kill them all before leaving... Tang Lan felt like killing someone.

    "Then how were those two peak A sses killed?"

    "Erm, it should be those two beams of light that appeared during the initial eruption of the ck water. The water itself is not harmful at all. My guess is the two ck beams were simply too terrifying, and with the two seniors coincidentally standing in the way of those ck beams, they perished as a result."

    Tang Lan: "..."

    What more could he say?

    "Get the research department to study this ck water and figure out what exactly it is," Tang Lanmanded coldly.

    "Yes."

    The others obeyed hismand. Once again, the Mysterious Organization members started busying themselves. None of them had noticed that the gushing ck water had not spread elsewhere due to it soaking into the ground unendingly. Bit by bit, as the ck liquid permeated the underground, the color of the soil became darker. Slowly, it became pure ck in color.

 Chapter 423: Confrontation!

    Chapter 423: Confrontation!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Headquarters of the Gic Union.

    "Defense testplete."

    "First round of testsplete. Degree of resistance: ..., Scope of resistance: ..., Test duration: ..."

    A faintyer of gold was swirling around the entire Gic Union. This was thetest defensive system installed by the Gic Union, and it was more efficient and more powerful. It was a defensive system that, theoretically, as long as its energy supply remained, would be able to defend against any and all attacks, attacks with power surpassing A ss included.

    "Why are we building this thing?"

    "I suppose it¡¯s due to the previous Mysterious Killing Command?"

    "Didn¡¯t we defend the headquarters sessfully?"

    "But still, that was thanks to Chen Feng, right?"

    "True."

    Everyone was discussing without stop. This new energy defensive system required a huge amount of manpower and resources, and it had exhausted a huge amount of resources. If it wasn¡¯t for their president agreeing to this, just umting enough resources for this would have been difficult, let alonepleting the setup.

    "The president is getting somewhat stubborn."

    "True, considering the huge amount of resources spent on this, wouldn¡¯t they have been better used elsewhere?"

    "True, true," someone stated.

    Suddenly, at this moment, the sky darkened.

    "Yi?"

    "It¡¯s going to rain?"

    "Hell, the weather forecast is indeed inurate."

    Everyone looked up at the sky as theyined. Suddenly, their expressions changed.

    "That is..."

    Bang!

    Space cracked apart, and akin to something shrouded in ck ink, the entire sky turned ck.

    Next, a choking aura that gave rise to a feeling of despair started emanating from the sky. ck raindrops started falling down from the sky. Gradually, the rain became heavier, seemingly attempting to alter the verynd beneath the sky.

    Hum¡ª

    The defensive system of the Gic Union activated noiselessly.

    St! St! St!

    The ck raindropsnded on the barrier, resulting in a pattering sound.

    "Something must have happened!"

    Everyone¡¯s heart sunk. This new defensive barrier of theirs would most definitely not have any reaction toward normal weather phenomena. Only when facing an attack or modified weather would this defensive barrier react. These ck raindrops...

    St! St!

    But then, the Gic Union was still the Gic Union, after all. Almost instantly, someone could be seen making a move. One person with sharp eyes stared straight toward several ordinary vigers several hundred kilometers away and noted that when the rain dropped onto their bodies, nothing unusual happened. Just like an ordinary raindrop, when itnded on their bodies, they would either wipe it away or shake it off or it would ricochet off their bodies andnd on the ground.

    His gaze flickered around. Only after observing several tens of thousands of people did he make his conclusion. "The rain is not harmful toward a human¡¯s body."

    "Mhm..." Another person wrinkled his nose for a long time before saying, "No unusual aura detected. This rain is harmless."

    "The rain is not corrosive in nature," another person concluded.

    In a short few seconds, the experts of the Gic Union were done with their analysis. Regardless of the angle they looked at it from, this seemed like rain that had nearly zero differences from normal rain. If one insisted on highlighting the difference, then the only difference would be the ck color of the rain.

    However, if this was regr rain, why had their defensive barrier activated?

    Shua! Shua!

    The rain pattered down from the sky without stop.

    Due to the ck raindrops, the sky appeared even scarier, and the ck mass gave them a choking feeling.

    They were all rmed. "What exactly is going on?"

    Was this an omen of something toe?

    "Could this be another plot of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s?" someone asked.

    "Nope. The same ck rain has appeared at all our branches as well."

    "All?"

    They were all shocked. One had to know that the Gic Union had branches all over the. At nearly every single ce humanity could reach, there was a Gic Union branch. Did this not mean that this ck rain was falling everywhere?

    "Wait. Do we have anyone at any untamed or unknown regions? Those we can contact?"

    "Yes."

    "Get them to check out the situation over there."

    "Mhm."

    Someone started contacting their friend to check it out. Soon, the reply was received. Simrly, ck rain was drizzling down over there as well. At this, everyone exchanged gazes as their hearts chilled.

    "What happened, exactly?"

    They became increasingly anxious. At this moment, the entire world had seemingly sunk into darkness. The enigmatic rain and their defensive barrier that had activated for no apparent reason were seemingly hinting that something was happening right now.

    In the central area of the Gic Union, one person was muttering while looking up at the starry sky, "Hopefully this is not the exact thing I was worried about... After all... we should still have some time left."

    **

    At a certain location in the unknown region, Chen Feng and his barbarian squad appeared.

    Chen Feng rejoiced. "Haha, we¡¯re out!" His previous operation had been too hard.

    He had already been aware that his Luck Aura was powerful. However, he was still pleasantly surprised at what his Luck Aura had done for him. Only now did he realize that he only needed to utilize his luck value properly and he would be omnipotent!

    But then...

    Chen Feng checked his Luck Aura. Presently, his Luck Aura was about to be done with the upgrade. As such, such an amazing feat would be something he had no chance of repeating in the future. However, now that the luck value of the Spirit Sea wood had all been absorbed and his Luck Aura upgraded, his future life might pass easier.

    Shua! Shua!

    The raindropsnded on Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    Chen Feng was somewhat amazed. "What exactly is this?" The entire sky was shrouded in darkness. Something terrifying was seemingly preparing to happen. However, this rain was truly harmless. As such, nobody had any idea what was happening. They could only wait silently. As for Chen Feng, he had finallypleted his mission of infiltrating the Mysterious Organization!

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Time to return, then." Regardless of what these ck raindrops were, regardless of the event toe, he had to first rush back.

    Shua!

    He set off with the barbarians. However, after they traveled 10 kilometers, from the dusky sky, amidst the pattering rain, a figure shed past, akin to the shadow of a ghost.

    Chen Feng was immediately startled. "Who is it?"

    Shua! Shua!

    That figure flickered before slowly solidifying. A familiar person could be seen.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "It¡¯s you."

    That figure split apart the raindrops around him and started flickering with a familiar green light. "I told you. You will die here."

    It was actually Lu Hun! He had actually appeared here!

    "I initially believed that they would be capable of killing you." Lu Hun sneered before continuing, "It seems like I still have to do the job myself."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "So it¡¯s you."

    He had been curious as to why he had been discovered despite his secretive actions when he had been sneaking into the Mysterious Organization. Now that he looked at this, if there was someone like Lu Hun keeping watch, it would be reasonable for him to be discovered. After all, this guy was a green diamond member...

    Mhm. This was an expert so strong the present Chen Feng couldn¡¯t even begin to imagine his strength. Was this his real body? Chen Feng paid close attention and breathed out in relief. Since the green radiance did not seem so dense, it seemed like this was yet another clone.

    Chen Fengughed. "Do you think that you can kill me with just a clone?" This wasn¡¯t the first time Lu Hun had tried to kill him with a clone.

    "It¡¯s sufficient," Lu Hun stated calmly. "However, in view of how you are capable of using unique methods to escape every single time, this time, I won¡¯t give you any chances. Mhm, no chances at all," Lu Hun repeated himself seriously.

    "Mhm?"

    Chen Feng had an ominous feeling. Right at this instant.

    Shua!

    A ck shadow shed past. From the pitch-ck night sky, a figure shed past and descended like an apparition. Before he could even realize it, that figure had already appeared behind him. Chen Feng nced back, and instantly, his expression changed greatly. That was because, on the forehead of the neer, a ck diamond could be seen shining.

 Chapter 424: Outside of Expectations

    Chapter 424: Outside of Expectations

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    ck diamond? Chen Feng had an ominous feeling.

    "I have been looking forward to meeting you," that figure stated lightly as the ck diamond on his forehead shone. Only a ck shadow was visible from his entire figure.

    Chen Feng was astonished. "Oh? Do we know each other?"

    "Naturally." The ck figure¡¯s tone was filled with an odd sense warmth. "You have been running rampant in my territory for so long. What do you think? Do I know you?"

    "Your territory..." Chen Feng repeated the words, and his eyes widened abruptly. "You¡¯re the Mysterious Organization¡¯s leader!" Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. It¡¯s all over!

    Finally, this legendary "major boss" had revealed himself. Even more troublesome was the fact that when Chen Feng had been escaping earlier, his Luck Aura had alreadypleted the upgrade. His current luck value had reverted to its normal state.

    Chen Feng gave his luck value a nce and noted that, after upgrading, 1,000 luck value was left for him. Truly excellent. This luck value would be sufficient to help him survive when facing an ordinary person or even a peak A-ss warrior, but unfortunately, those surpassing A-ss were exceptions to this, let alone two of these old freaks. Chen Feng had zero confidence in seeding. Even if all 1,000 luck value was exhausted, he would not be able to defeat these two. This time, things had be truly dangerous.

    Lu Hun¡¯s gaze was bitingly cold. "Is the figurine still with you?"

    "Figurine?" Chen Feng pondered for a bit before fishing out the youngdy¡¯s figurine. "You¡¯re talking about this?"

    This figurine had been built using a rather unusual unknown material that felt extremely cozy to the touch. Moreover, it was somewhat flexible as well. Since he was afraid that Lu Hun would snatch it from him, he tightened his grasp on it instinctively.

    Lu Hun: "..."

    Hu¡ª

    Clenching both his fists tightly, Lu Hun let out a long breath.

    "Hand over the figurine and I will keep your corpse in one piece," Lu Hun barked coldly.

    For this? The surprised Chen Feng looked at the figurine in his hand. He had initially believed that Lu Hun would make a move to kill him directly. If Lu Hun¡¯s actual target was this figurine...

    "Don¡¯t bother thinking of any tricks," Lu Hun stated coldly. "Since I am already here, I will most certainly not allow you to survive. I am only trying to avoid damaging the figurine in the battle. If you hand it over, I will keep your corpse in one piece. Otherwise... I will extinguish your very soul itself!"

    Bang!

    Instantly, a terrifying aura surged. The imposing aura of a superexpert like Lu Hun bloomed, giving Chen Feng a choking feeling.

    So this is the power of a true expert...

    "What more trump cards do you have? Use them all," Lu Hun said with a lofty expression. Even against an opponent like Chen Feng, Lu Hun would not underestimate him. Truth be told, after the few confrontations they¡¯d had, he was already seeing Chen Feng as an opponent at the same level as him, to the point where he had requested the Mysterious Organization¡¯s leader apany him here as backup. From this, it was clear how cautious he was when facing Chen Feng.

    Evidently, he had suffered defeat way too many times at Chen Feng¡¯s hands. On top of that, the method used by Chen Feng to insta-kill the two peak A-ss warriors earlier was weighing on his heart as well. No matter what, this was an opponent he could not afford to underestimate.

    "..." Instinctively, Chen Feng nced at the Mysterious Organization¡¯s leader.

    "Don¡¯t look at me," the Mysterious Organization¡¯s leader statedzily. "I am only here to prevent your escape. Mhm... Brother Lu said that you have a lot of trump cards. Therefore, he needs my assistance here."

    "..." Chen Feng could only smile bitterly as a response. Was there a need for this? He was only a newly advanced small time B-ss warrior. Against a small fellow like him, two experts surpassing A ss had to be deployed? This was too excessive! Was it truly possible for him to contend against those surpassing A ss? If Lu Hun had appeared earlier, when his luck value had still been unlimited, there might have been a chance.

    Hum¡ª

    Green radiance started flickering. A weapon condensed in Lu Hun¡¯s hand. A gush of power surpassing A ss flickered without stop. Chen Feng¡¯s nerves went taut. As he looked at the faraway Mysterious Organization leader that was maintaining constant vignce and then looked at the too-small amount of luck value he had, his heart chilled. This time, things were truly bing troublesome. With this little amount of luck value, he might still be able to escape from Lu Hun alone. But now...

    St! St!

    From the dusky sky, raindrops fell without stop. The ck drops rained down, seemingly to cleanse everything. When the dropsnded on their bodies, they ricocheted down to the ground. Here in this unknown region not far from the Mysterious Organization, an austere mood pervaded the air. Lu Hun¡¯s entire body was enveloped in ayer of green radiance, and his killing intent intensified unendingly. Suddenly, the Mysterious Organization leader stretched his hand out.

    "Yi?" With a somewhat odd expression, he looked at the ck water on his hand before staring at the sky. "Something seems wrong."

    Lu Hun wasn¡¯t exactly surprised. "What¡¯s up?" The present him was no longer the same extremely egotistical person he¡¯d been when he had first met Chen Feng. The moment he had decided to make a move against Chen Feng, he had already been expecting Chen Feng to do something.

    The Mysterious Organization leader frowned. "I keep feeling that something is off." Suddenly, a ck radiance seemed to sh through the sky.

    With the ck sky as the backdrop, that bizarre dark figure was not visible to the eyes. However, the shaking in the air was something everyone could clearly feel.

    Hum¡ª

    Space trembled. Abruptly, the expressions of Lu Hun and the Mysterious Organization leader changed. Their connections... had been severed! Their connections with their main bodies had actually been severed! Presently, far away, at a certain location high above the sky, Lu Hun and the Mysterious Organization leader had unsightly expressions on their faces. A short moment ago, they had lost their connections with their clones. Moreover, the hovering screen used to monitor the scene had vanished as well. They could no longer see anything.

    Lu Hun shut both his eyes. "Chen Feng..." A fire was raging in his heart. Every single time he confronted this Chen Feng, some mishap happened! From the first encounter where his wife had absurdly fallen in love with Chen Feng to the subsequent encounters where Chen Feng had escaped him in an absurd manner to transforming into Wang Feng after his "death," and so on. During all of these incidents, all sorts of random coincidences had happened. This time was no exception despite the fact that he had recruited the help of his junior apprentice brother.

    The Mysterious Organization leader pondered before saying, "There¡¯s no need to worry. Even if our connections with our clones has been severed, our clones will still remain at peak A ss with a power that slightly surpasses a regr peak A-ss warrior. Chen Feng is not a match for the both of our clones. As long as the clones seed in killing Chen Feng, everything will be settled." The Mysterious Organization leader was confident.

    "Perhaps." Lu Hun had nothing much to say to that. Due to the many failures in the past, he no longer had any confidence when facing Chen Feng, despite the fact that this Chen Feng was merely a fellow much weaker than him. At this time, in that unknown region where the clones¡¯ connections had been suddenly severed...

    Shock appeared in Lu Hun¡¯s eyes. "You are actually capable of this?" Their clones had been created with unique methods, granting them a connection to the thoughts of the main bodies. This was something that couldn¡¯t be blocked. Unexpectedly, Chen Feng was actually capable of totally blocking the connection.

    Ah? Chen Feng was dumbfounded. Even he was not aware of what was happening. Was this the aftereffect of his Luck Aura? But then, he had yet to activate his Luck Aura. Could this truly be a coincidence?

    "Forget it. Just kill him directly," the Mysterious Organization leader stated decisively.

    Lu Hun nodded. "Mhm." They could not afford to be disconnected from their main bodies for long.

    Shua!

    A bright radiance started shining. The killing attack in Lu Hun¡¯s hand bloomed. Regardless of the tricks employed, they only needed to focus on killing Chen Feng.

    Bang!

    Two extremely terrifying radiances bloomed. The frightening attack in Lu Hun¡¯s hand streaked toward Chen Feng. However, right as that attack reached Chen Feng, right before Chen Feng could be killed...

    Pu!

    A stuffy sound echoed. Next, his body stiffened.

    He had to kill Chen Feng. This time, Lu Hun had prepared to kill Chen Feng even if it meant destroying his clone in the process. An intent had been nted within this clone the moment it had been created. He was aware of how perverse Chen Feng was. He was also aware that Chen Feng might still possess other trump cards. Therefore, he¡¯d made a lot of preparations and prepared a lot of methods this time. Surprisingly, when his attack was about tond, something still urred. Moreover, what happened was something totally inconceivable.

    Pu!

    A stuffy sound could be heard. Instantly, Lu Hun¡¯s body that had been charging toward Chen Feng went rigid. On his chest, blood blossomed.

    Another mishap?

    Instinctively, Lu Hun turned around. He was under the impression that some terrifying life-form had appeared from the darkness. However, surprising him, when he turned around, a familiar figure entered his sight.

    Pu!

    The terrifying power started spreading through his entire body from his chest. At this moment, that clone of Lu Hun¡¯s started copsing.

    "You..." Lu Hun widened his eyes in an unbelieving manner and asked, "How is this possible..."

    Bang!

    The clone exploded, dead.

    Shua!

    Transforming into countless particles, Lu Hun¡¯s clone dissipated. At this moment, the rain was growing heavier. The pitch-ck raindropsnded on the ground without stop. With such a scene as the backdrop, that pitch-ck figure behind Lu Hun appeared even more bizarre. Surprisingly, that was actually the Mysterious Organization leader. The diamond on his forehead was shining even brighter now.

    Chen Feng was totally stupefied. "The... f*ck?" What had he seen? The Mysterious Organization leader had just killed Lu Hun¡¯s clone? Mhm... blocking their connection before killing the clone?

    If so, even Lu Hun¡¯s main body would not be aware of what had happened here. Could this be the works of his Luck Aura as well? Instinctively, Chen Feng checked his Luck Aura. Had Luck Aura gained a new function after upgrading? A function to cause his opponents to fight among themselves? However, when he checked, he noted that no such change existed in his upgraded Luck Aura. His luck value still remained the same as well.

    Earlier, during his moment of crisis, Luck Aura had been activated. If it had worked, the luck value would most definitely have gone down, but none had been consumed. It was still the same 1,000 points. In that case... Chen Feng rubbed his skull and wondered if he had coincidentally stumbled upon the inner power struggle of the Mysterious Organization? This was too lucky!

    Wait. He pondered deeply again and noted that this wasn¡¯t something worth rejoicing. After this Mysterious Organization leader killed his senior apprentice brother¡¯s clone, he would most certainly not leave an outsider like Chen Feng alive. At this thought, Chen Feng activated his Luck Aura. Since only this leader was left here, he might be able to escape. His gaze started racing around, looking for an opportunity to flee.

    Shua!

    With a flicker, the Mysterious Organization leader instantly reached Chen Feng.

    Not good!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart sank and a chill went down his spine. At this moment, though, a familiar yet ancient voice resounded. "What are you running for?"

    Shua!

    Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s body stiffened.

    This voice...

    He turned around abruptly. The darkness that was the body of the Mysterious Organization leader solidified and revealed his true appearance, an appearance that had not appeared for a very long time.

    Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s pupils dted. "Qin Hai!!!" That¡¯s right, this was Qin Hai!

    On that familiar face, some additional scars could be seen. This was the face of someone who had gone through the vicissitudes of life, and it appeared somewhat older than before. However, it was still a face Chen Feng was familiar with.

    Chen Feng was overjoyed. "It¡¯s really you!" So many years had passed, yet Qin Hai was still alive!

    A smile appeared on Qin Hai¡¯s face. "It¡¯s me. It¡¯s indeed me..."

    Chen Feng gave Qin Hai a firm hug. "Hey." Both him and Kong Bai had still been feeling guilty about Qin Hai¡¯s sacrifice, after all. Finding out that Qin Hai was still alive was truly good news! Despite the huge amount of questions he had, he only needed to know that Qin Hai was still alive. That was sufficient.

    "Back then..."

    Qin Hai was aware of what Chen Feng wanted to ask, and he started talking, "For some unknown reason, the Sage suddenly decided to ept me as his disciple. With that, I be a part of the ancient race."

    He paused and nced at Chen Feng. Based on his guess, this might be rted to Chen Feng¡¯s Luck Aura.

    Chen Feng smiled. "I am aware of that." This had already been told to him by Xiong Er. What he had been worried about was Qin Hai¡¯s whereabouts since the ancient race had disappeared. Now that he could see Qin Hai alive and well, he was already satisfied. The true question of his was: "How did Qin Hai stay alive until now?" Even Xiong Er, with his long lifespan, was not able to survive time and had been forced to depart from this world.

    A helpless expression appeared on Qin Hai¡¯s face. "Oh... this. It might be rted to this." As he said this, he pointed at the diamond on his head. "This thing was granted by the Sage. From it, I can feel the power of time. The effect of time is greatly weakened on my body with this thing here."

    Chen Feng gasped in admiration. So magical? One had to know that the present Qin Hai merely looked somewhat older than the previous Qin Hai.

    Chen Feng¡¯s instinctive reaction was to touch this thing. "Let me take a look."

    "Don¡¯t." Qin Hai took a step back and stated in a somewhat awkward manner, "Erm, this thing is somewhat sensitive."

    "Fine." Chen Feng clicked his tongue before saying, "I suppose, in the future, you can try some different positions with Lady Xiao Rou with this new sensitive spot on your body."

    Qin Hai: "..." It has been so many years. Why is this guy still so annoying?

    As for Xiao Rou... Qin Hai¡¯s eyes seemed to flicker at the thought of Xiao Rou.

    Chen Feng was amazed. "What? You have yet to meet her?"

    "I visited her once." Qin Hai continued in a somewhat embarrassed manner, "Back then, she was still a newborn baby. I held her in my arms and had my face sprayed with her pee."

    "You two are truly a creative couple," Chen Fengmented. "Who knows what you did to her back then."

    Qin Hai: "..." He no longer felt like talking to this guy here.

    "Let¡¯s go. We can continue catching up after returning. You can go visit Xiao Rou as well."

    Chen Feng was thinking of bringing Qin Hai back. Unexpectedly, Qin Hai¡¯s body did not move.

    Chen Feng was curious. "What¡¯s the matter?"

    "I can¡¯t." Qin Hai shook his head, and he stared at the boundless dark sky. "Did you not feel it? Darkness... has descended upon us," he stated with a trace of vastness and aged wisdom in his voice. No matter what, the present him was ultimately a person surpassing A ss, a person who had surpassed his limit and broken through his previous bottleneck all those years ago.

    The maic voice of Qin Hai echoed, "As the darkness descends, this greatnd will sink into an evesting chaos."

    Chen Feng curled his lips. "So? Only those who have joined the diamond club can escape this cmity? I shall let you know that back then I was a VIP member as well!"[1] 1

    "..."

    Worry was stered all over Qin Hai¡¯s face. He felt like beating this Chen Feng to death.

    As he saw the grudging gaze of Qin Hai, Chen Feng admitted defeat. "Fine, fine. Continue your story."

    "I don¡¯t have anything else to say," Qin Hai grumbled. The atmosphere that he had tried so hard to create had been wiped clean by Chen Feng just like that. What else could he say?

    "In short, back then, the Sage predicted that a huge cmity was going to fall and the entire world would sink into chaos. However, he couldn¡¯t figure out the source of the cmity. As such, to avoid the cmity, he decided to start a war at an earlier date to destroy both the barbarians and the devil race. Unexpectedly, when they reached the devil race, he found that the devil race had already been destroyed."

    Chen Feng was surprised. "Destroyed?"

    "Yes, destroyed," Qin Hai stated with a solemn expression. "The Devil King killed off all his nsman, including himself!"

 Chapter 426: Descend

    Chapter 426: Descend

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng gasped. "What a feat." Let alone eliminating his nsman, he had even killed himself? What a true man! Had he overdosed on drugs or something? At this moment, Chen Feng felt like these superexperts were truly hard to understand. Perhaps... this was the so-called generation gap.

    Suddenly, Qin Hai continued, "But then, when searching the ruins of the devil race, we discovered some magical substance that was subsequently named ck dust."

    ck dust?

    Chen Feng seemed to recall hearing about this somewhere before.

    Shua!

    He turned his screen on. As the Mysterious Organization had been trying to lure him into their headquarters earlier, they had yet to shut down his ess to their database. Instead, he had been granted an even higher scope of authority there. Chen Feng started searching for "ck dust." Next, some data popped out.

    ----

    Devil Spirit Project

    Project code: ABP-505

    Project tier: Top Secret

    Project ssification: Forbidden

    Summary: It is rumored that after the devil race was killed by a certain unique power, they transformed into ck dust and their souls sunk into the earth, transforming into a unique existence known as devil spirit. These devil spirits did not possess physical bodies and were capable of traversing freely between the illusory and physical world. Moving in groups, they were unbeatable. The moment ck dust blended with the earth, the devil spirit would awaken from the ck soil.

    ----

    Devil spirit project! Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed greatly. These things were actually the work of the Mysterious Organization?

    "The likes of Tang Lan do not have to authorization to know about this. This project is something only us fellow apprentices are aware of." Qin Hai sighed and said, "Based on our guesses, back then, the devil race might have realized that they were not a match of the ancient race. As such, they nned to hibernate for 10,000 years to avoid the era where the ancient race reigned supreme, waiting for a chance to be reborn. However, this n was seen through by the ancient race. They nned to awaken the devil spirits in advance and gain control over the devil spirits to conquer the entire world."

    So that¡¯s the case. Chen Feng shut his eyes. So this is the ultimate goal of the Mysterious Organization!

    Qin Hai continued, "Initially, the Mysterious Organization had been established merely to gather ck dust. The ck dust is indestructible, and the ck dust from back then still exists. When the gathering of the ck dust isplete, the Mysterious Organization will lose its purpose of existence. As for that ck dust..." Qin Hai stared at the sky. "It will descend in the form of ck rain."

    Shua! Shua!

    The sky was scarily dark as the ck raindrops rained down unceasingly. Chen Feng stretched his hand out. A fireball ignited in his hand. When the raindrops evaporated, ck dust could be seen. So... this was the so-called ck dust.

    "When I found out about this project, I applied to join and participate in the research of this project. In the dark, I tried messing with their project, causing this project that was supposed to end countless years ago to be dyed by a huge amount of years. However..." Qin Hai shook his head. The ancient race was, after all, not stupid. Despite Qin Hai messing with them with his numerous proposals and steering their project in wrong directions, they had still managed toplete this project. Ultimately, the project had activated sessfully.

    So that¡¯s the case. Chen Feng was in a heavy mood after hearing all this.

    He was aware that thend beneath this sky had a lot of hidden secrets. He was also aware that within this huge and boundless unknown region, a lot of scary things were hidden. However, he had still underestimated those experts.

    "Where have the ancient race members gone to?" Chen Feng asked. All these years, the ancient race had never appeared.

    "Them?" Qin Hai sneered. "Back then, the territory of humanity was also considered an unknown region for the ancient race members. By the time they discovered the human race, humanity had already developed themselves to a certain degree. This was especially true for the quantity of the human race. Despite the ancient race¡¯s strength, the astonishing speed at which humans breed still nted fear in their hearts. As the ancient race members all thought of themselves as a noble race, they considered exchanging the life of one ancient race member for even 1,000 humans to be a loss. To avoid heavy casualties to their own people, the ancient race ns to use the devil spirits as their main army. Therefore, the awakening of the devil spirits also signifies the beginning of the war between humanity and devil spirits. And when both humans and devil spirits are equally damaged... the ancient race will reveal themselves!"

    A slight chill could be felt from Qin Hai¡¯s voice. A chill went down Chen Feng¡¯s spine as he listened. Who would have guessed that there was such a story behind the awakening of the devil spirits? The ancient race was indeed malicious in their methods.

    Chen Feng looked at Qin Hai. "Will you return to us?" The devil spirits were going to appear soon, and the ancient race was going to reappear as well. The world was going to sink into chaos. If Qin Hai stayed with the ancient race, it would probably be dangerous for him.

    "This is only my clone." Qin Hai shrugged and paused before continuing, "At present, the darkness has already descended. The devil spirits are going to awaken soon. Therefore, I can¡¯t afford to leave."

    The present him was no longer the youngster he had been back then.

    Since he was one of the top existences in this world, he had to do something, for the sake of humanity and himself.

    Qin Hai¡¯s expression was solemn. "Me staying with the ancient race will allow me to transmit updates to you as well. Although the devil spirits are scary, during the initial moments of their awakening, they will be in a state of emptiness. If one is able to defeat the devil spirit at this time, one might be able to control and make use of the devil spirits for themselves. As per the ns of the ancient race, at this stage of the devil spirit project, it¡¯s my senior apprentice sister¡¯s turn to make a move."

    Chen Feng was astonished. "Your senior apprentice sister?" They were most certainly all members of QQ.

    Qin Hai nodded. "Mhm. She is extremely powerful. After the Sage granted her the diamond, she smelted it into a unique ability of her own. This is also the most crucial ability of the devil spirit project: Control! That diamond on her forehead is capable of controlling all life-forms in a state of emptiness. Therefore, as long as a nervous breakdown is induced in the devil spirits, she will be able to easily gain control over them. There are no limitations to the amount she can control either."

    Qin Hai had an extremely solemn expression as he said all this. This was an extremely terrifying ability, especially the fact that there were no limitations!

    One could say that this entire devil spirit project had been designed for her. This was the scariest person among all of them. She alone would be equivalent to an entire army.

    Chen Feng rubbed his head. "Your senior apprentice sister... So her diamond is pink?"

    Qin Hai was amazed. "Yi, how do you know that?"

    What, do you think I have never yed the QQ Pets game?[1] 1 "...N-nothing," Chen Feng said.

    Chen Feng did not even feel like berating this anymore. He started rearranging his thoughts. The amount of information he had received today was truly too huge in amount, and he sunk into a slight confusion. ck dust... devil spirits... Qin Hai¡¯s senior apprentice sister...

    He needed to calm himself first.

    Qin Hai shook his head. "The blockade I set up will be gone soon. It¡¯s time for me to leave. You must be careful."

    "Mhm."

    Chen Feng nodded his head. Suddenly, he paused and gazed at Qin Hai. "Erm, might I ask, the devil spirits you speak of, are they a life-form that ispletely translucent and white and have the body shape of the devil race? Also, they climb out from the ground?"

    Yet again, Qin Hai was amazed. "Yi, how do you know that?"

    "Oh."

    Chen Feng pointed to a spot behind Qin Hai. Qin Hai turned around. There, at that piece of soil that was soaked in ck rain, numerous deathly pale translucent figures were crawling up from the ground. This scene appearing under the dark sky was sufficient to send a chill down all onlookers¡¯ spines. The devil spirits wereing.

    Light started flickering in Qin Hai¡¯s eyes. "Leave them to me. Their appearance is just nice for me toplete part of my n. You leave first. Oh, right, since the devil spirit project is already active. They will most certainly look for the experts of the devil race back then to prioritize in the awakening. If my guesses are correct, their first target will be located at Star City."

    Star City?

    Chen Feng was somewhat dumbstruck. This... did not seem right? Star City was floating high up the sky, right? How would there be anyone in hibernation at a ce like that?

    "Indeed, Star City is a city that was built after the events of the devil race." Qin Hai shook his head and continued, "However, in ancient times, the piece ofnd Star City was built upon was a huge chunk of stone with a unique power. The devil race members found this stone rather magnificent, and as such, a lot of them decided to choose that ce as their ce of hibernation."

    Hibernation... Star City...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s mind jolted furiously. Once again, the scene that had appeared when he first touched the Spirit Sea wood reyed in his brain. The fall of Star City amidst darkness and the arrival of cmity, akin to the end of the world! This was the Star City battle Chen Feng had been waiting for all this while! He had initially believed that this was a n of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s and had always been preparing against them. Now that he looked at it, the dark sky, the apparitions floating everywhere, and the apocalyptic scene were in fact referring to the awakening of the devil spirits.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted furiously. "So this is what I saw back then."

    "You must be careful," Qin Hai advised. Currently, the blockade severing the connection was about to disappear.

    "Understood." Chen Feng gave Qin Hai a deep nce before leaving quietly with the barbarians that were waiting for him not far away. Next, the devil spirits around them started approaching Qin Hai slowly.

    Bang!

    Suddenly, the earth started copsing. Qin Hai¡¯s clone exploded and erupted with a terrifying power, reducing all the devil spirits into nothingness. The sky seemed to be even darker now. Presently, high above the boundless sky, Lu Hun and Qin Hai were still observing the blockade ced around their clones. They continued so until, suddenly, the blockade cracked apart, once again allowing the scene there to appear before them.

    Only a mess could be seen where their clones were at. Lu Hun¡¯s clone had already dissipated. The same applied to Qin Hai¡¯s clone. On the ground, traces of the clone¡¯s self-explosion could be seen. Apart from that, that pitch-ck soil could be seen as well...

    Lu Hun¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Devil spirits!" He had never expected that the devil spirits would actually appear in this crucial moment when they were killing Chen Feng. What a coincidence!

    Qin Hai agreed without a change in his expression. "Their mere appearance is already sufficient to blockade our sensory abilities. These are most definitely unordinary devil spirits."

    Lu Hun narrowed his gaze. "True. Seems like Senior Apprentice Sister will have to take a trip now. From the looks of things, this should be the awakening of some expert captain-level existences of the devil race."

    Based on the arrangement of their devil spirit project, the awakening of the devil spirits was closely rted to the ck dust. Therefore, the ck dust was descending in the form of ck rain to blend with the earth, altering the purity of the soil. As the concentration and purity of the ck dust increased, the experts of the devil race would appear.

    The ck rain was still falling down unhurriedly. Theoretically, those experts should only appear in ater phase of their n. Only when the concentration of the ck dust reached its peak would the nobles of the devils appear. Back then, this n had been put in ce by the devils as a means to protect their nobles.

    Unfortunately, since their n had been seen through by the ancient race, the devil race had transformed into cannon fodder to be exploited. By the time their nobles started awakening, the war between humanity and the devil spirits would already have ended long ago, and the ancient race would have finished conquering the entire world. The main task of their senior apprentice sister was to avoid the urrence of any unexpected incidents, to stop any experts of the devil race from appearing prematurely, especially their nobles.

    Presently, the entire world was sinking into panic. At a lot of ces, especially those ces easier to flood, these bizarre yet mysterious apparitions had appeared. Due to this, the Gic Union was already working at full capacity to maintain the peace.

    "So this is the function of this rain?"

    "It summons apparitions?"

    "No matter what they are, do not permit any of the raindrops to appear in any cities anymore."

    "Understood."

    "Activate our defensivework. Start building defenses immediately at all cities. Since these things are descending in the form of rain, I suppose we only need to shelter the cities from the sky and it will be fine?"

    "But if we do that, we won¡¯t be able to see the sky..."

    "Why in the world do you even want to see the sky? Presently, there¡¯s nothing but darkness up there. What can you see?"

    "All right."

    The Gic Union was able to react speedily to this. All their gic warriors with unique abilities, especially those with earth-element abilities or construction-rted abilities, were issued rich rewards and were sent to the groups responsible for constructing defensive constructs. In a single day, before sufficient rainwater could even umte at a majority of their territories, the defensive constructs werepletely constructed.

    Now, the ck rain was no longer able to enter all cities and branches of the Gic Union. All the rainwater was thrown away into the wilderness. Some of the Gic Union branches were even refining the ck rainwater into dust and gathering it up for research. This was the power of the Gic Union. With a single announcement, they were able to rapidly stabilize this situation that was akin to an apocalypse. Naturally, those remote regions or ces that were easier to flood were unable to be saved in time.

    "A sum of 368 locations have fallen."

    Reports were churned out unendingly. These ces were mostly those with aparatively lower terrain height.

    "Arrange the information properly before sending someone over. We must figure out what exactly this rain is."

    "Yes."

    At this time, Chen Feng contacted Hou Liang and submitted a report regarding the devil spirits.

    Hou Liang was extremely anxious. "You are noting back?" Despite the existence of the gic Union, the devil spirits that were seemingly everywhere and the unending rain from the sky had ensured that not a single ce was safe, especially the wilderness. Out there in the wild, the devil spirits might appear anywhere. It was with great difficulty that Chen Feng had escaped the Mysterious Organization. The proper path of action for him would be to return to them.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "I will be fine. I am not the one you should be worried about now. Rather, it¡¯s Star City. Based on the information I received, their next target will be Star City."

    "Understood. If so, you must be careful by yourself." Hou Liang ended the call. Ancient race... devil spirit... the contents of Chen Feng¡¯s report were truly excessively astonishing. He had to submit this report to the Gic Union as well. This was no longer something the Gene Production Association could deal with alone.

    Chen Feng patted the barbarian below him. "All done." With the appearance of the devil spirits, the structure of this world was already changing. He had to be sufficiently prepared for what was toe. With his present strength, in the ensuing chaos, he wouldn¡¯t even qualify to be a cannon fodder.

    "I am still too weak after all..." Chen Feng muttered. Back then, when he had seen the scene, there had been too many deaths, and Star City itself had been destroyed. Since the ancient race was already prepared, they would most definitely not hold back. Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "I will not give you guys any chances."

    Star City was his very first home. He would not allow the ancient race to destroy it. The premature appearance of the ck rain had caused the date of the Star City battle to shift to an earlier date as well. Based on the information Qin Hai had given him, they only had one week¡¯s time. Chen Feng¡¯s initial n to reach A ss before the war was no longer achievable. Before this war began, the only thing he could do was fuse with a new B-ss ability, a superpowerful ability sufficient to dramatically increase his strength.

    Chapter 428: This Fellow Is a Fraud

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Beneath the dark starry sky, Chen Feng had finally gotten some time to inspect his Luck Aura. He remembered that the first time he had touched Spirit Sea wood, Luck Aura had upgraded to a certain extent, making it much better at inferring. If Luck Aura was described as a product, then the upgrade could be described as the product¡¯s function bing stronger and more optimized, yet without aplete transformation of any sort.

    This time, he had obtained so much more Spirit Sea wood than the previous times. He had obtained a thick and solid trunk with countless branches.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Hopefully you won¡¯t disappoint me."

    Shua!

    Luck Aura, activate. Instantly, Chen Feng entered the illusory world of Luck Aura.

    Hum¡ª

    The initially illusory world was now lifelike and filled with an ice-blue luster. Numerous screens hovered in the air, giving this space a somewhat modern feel. There did not seem to be any other changes here apart from the hovering screens. As Chen Feng checked his recovery rate, he noted that his luck value still generated one point per hour.

    No upgrade to the regeneration?

    Chen Feng felt somewhat disappointed. What he looked forward to the most was an increase in the regeneration rate of his luck value. Even if it increased to merely two points per hour, he would be satisfied. As his strength increased without stop and the level of the battles he participated in increased, the current luck value was clearly insufficient for his usage. Unexpectedly, even after this huge upgrade, it still remained the same. Everything seemed the same.

    Chen Feng felt somewhat disappointed. Is it merely an upgrade to the user experience?

    Suddenly, an ice-cold voice resounded. "Hello, master."

    Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s pupils shrunk. On one of the hovering screens, a ripple simr to a sound wave appeared. Evidently, the screen was talking.

    Chen Feng was amazed. "Who are you?"

    "Spirit," the voice answered. "When the power of luck umted to a certain level, the luck stone obtained sentience¡ªthat sentience can be called Spirit. You can consider me the spirit of the luck stone."

    Chen Feng gasped. This sounds so mystical. If this understanding was applied to divine tools, then this so-called spirit was what one would call tool spirit. Based on his experiences, such tool spirits were generally incredibly amazing existences, even newborn ones.

    "Will you listen to my orders?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Yes," Spirit answered. "I was constructed by luck and your consciousness and spiritual energy. As such, I belong only to you. My existence, my destruction, these depend on your whims."

    Hum¡ª

    Spirit started emitting its power. Instantly, Chen Feng gainedprehension. He could clearly feel the existence of a clump of unique life. With a single thought, he could destroy that life at any time. Without a doubt, that life was precisely this Spirit, the Spirit birthed by the luck stone. Despite the fact that no changes were apparent in his Luck Aura, Chen Feng was sure that, in the future, regardless of what function of this Luck Aura he wanted to use, he would not need to do it himself. Instead, he could hand them all to this Spirit.

    Chen Feng spoke forthrightly. "I need a gic ability capable of increasing my strength greatly. Choose one for me."

    He released all the databases of the Mysterious Organization and Gic Union to the Spirit. This Spirit should be able to choose a better ability for him.

    "All right. Please wait a while."

    Spirit started flickering.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around, and a short momentter, a single ability popped out: Selective Ergement.

    "What?" Chen Feng¡¯s expression darkened. "What I want is to increase my strength, not my little brother!!! Moreover, I do not need that! My current size is sufficient!"

    Spirit: "..." It paused before saying, "Based on the information I have, you are good at meleebat using Energy Equipment. Therefore, Selective Ergement is the best ability for you. When you are fighting, you can selectively erge a part of your body to greatly increase the strength there. That will give you an ability to deal an astonishing amount of damage. Moreover, this ability will work well with Myriad Illusions as well. For example, by using a certain me-rted ability from Myriad Illusions coupled with Selective Ergement and Energy Equipment, when you are sting your enemy, your arm will erge, achieving the same effect as the Qilin Arm. A single punch from this arm will be incredibly astonishing. Yourbat power will increase by more than tenfold using this ability. More importantly, you can use it in conjunction with Myriad Illusions to create Qilin Arm, Spiral Kick, Divine Buddha Palm, Iron Head Technique, Ding Dong Drill, and all sorts of other astonishing abilities."[1] 1

    Spirit exined seriously. Not only that, various data was shown on the screen to prove this to Chen Feng. For example, the might of Qilin Arm, its effects, attack range, damage, estimated damage dealt, and so on.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    What the f*ck?

    He started picturing the scene where his head erged suddenly to charge at his enemy. Chen Feng was instantly mesmerized. But then, what was the Ding Dong Drill mentioned toward the end? During meleebat, his ding dong would suddenly erge?

    Cautiously, Chen Feng asked, "Thatst ability..." He was hoping that he had guessed wrongly.

    "That¡¯s right. It is precisely what you think." Spirit continued exining in a serious manner, "Based on the information I have, at this point in time, such a battling method is unprecedented. In realbat, it will most certainly achieve an inconceivable result. You can use it as your sure-kill skill to be used at the crucial moment. Your opponent will most certainly not see iting. If you can use this ability to attack your opponent¡¯s weak point, it will work even better."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Attacking the weak point? What else would the weak point of a human be? That scene... as Chen Feng pictured the scene, he became speechless.

    Do you want to transform a proper battle into a porno?

    At this point, Chen Feng was already wondering if Spirit here was female. Furthermore, while this might work against a human, what if the opponent was instead a beast? Would he then have to...

    "Choose a different ability." Chen Feng did not feel like exining any further.

    Spirit did not hesitate. "All right." Soon, a new ability was chosen: Flexibility Restructuring.

    "This ability I am suggesting, when used on a human body, will allow your tongue to be transformed into a terrifying weapon. Your tongue will be upgraded greatly, and it will be pliable and tough! More importantly, due to the unique nature of this ability, it can be fused with three other abilities easily! It can be perfectlybined with Myriad Illusions. For example, you can transform your tongue into a three-meter-long weapon that is thin yet sharp. When battling, you can insta-kill your opponent by the mere act of opening your mouth. Or perhaps you can also produce three different types of poison and keep them within your body. When attacking your opponent, just lick his body. He will most certainly die from the poison. This ability will have an astonishing result!"

    In a serious manner, Spirit analyzed all the data.

    Shua! Shua!

    The screen flickered without stop as the data was shown. Various data was shown by Spirit. At this point, Chen Feng had already lowered his head helplessly.

    "What do you think?"

    Only after Spirit finished its analysis in an excited manner did it notice the grudging gaze of Chen Feng that was staring straight at it.

    Spirit paused. "What... what¡¯s up?"

    "This won¡¯t do," Chen Feng grumbled. "None of these can be used."

    "Why?" Spirit was curious. "Isn¡¯t the point of battle to eliminate your opponent, regardless of the cost?"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He felt that his definition of the saying "regardless of cost" was somewhat different than that of this Spirit.

    "Do you know who, in real life, are the ones using this Flexibility Restructuring ability?" Chen Feng asked with a sigh.

    Spirit appeared puzzled. "Ah?"

    Chen Feng sighed. "It¡¯s used by people in a certain industry where their flesh is what¡¯s offered. They use this ability and fuse it with three minor abilities, giving them unique effects, such as increasing the chill, increasing warmth, giving them vibrating effect, and so on in order to provide better service to their customers."

    "But doesn¡¯t that signify how powerful this ability is?" Spirit stated with a strange expression. Instantly, Chen Feng became speechless.

    Chapter 429: Wear Your Clothes Properly; We Can Talk It Out!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He was truly at a loss as to how was he supposed to exin this. Right now, he was feeling somewhat regretful. If he had known that this would be the result of the upgrade, he would have been better off cutting the Spirit Sea wood into pieces and taking them away as a supply of luck value. The result that he had gotten was simply a fraud. This thing here was more like a low-level AI, right? What in the world was this Spirit rmending? To hell with the so-called divine tool. What was the point of having this thing?

    Chen Feng rubbed his head. So the Luck Aura he had painstakingly upgraded had given birth to such a thing? How disappointing.

    Spirit felt somewhat embarrassed. "Sorry. I am a newborn. Therefore, the amount of data and understanding I have is too little. If you require me to learn rapidly, I will require your authorization to activate my learning function."

    Chen Feng was astonished. "You have a learning function?"

    "Yes." Spirit nodded and started introducing the learning function. Theoretically, as long as luck value was supplied, Spirit would be able to self-study up to the point where its intelligence reached an extremely terrifying level. Anything it wanted to know, luck value would enable it to learn. Moreover, different from others who would encounter mistakes during the learning process, Spirit would be able to distinguish the right information from the wrong information for everything it learned. This was an extremely efficient learning method. The only caveat was that Chen Feng¡¯s authorization was required since luck value would be consumed.

    "Fine." Chen Feng authorized Spirit¡¯s self-study. He wanted to see what level this fellow that was akin to a low-level AI could reach after its self-study. Hopefully it wouldn¡¯t disappoint him.

    Chen Feng looked at Spirit. "I will allocate you 100 luck value for now. Show me the result."

    He had already decided that he would totally give up on this fellow here if the luck value required was too high and there weren¡¯t any results to show for it. He would most certainly not waste more energy and luck value on something so unprofitable.

    "All right." Instantly, Spirit activated its learning mode. To help its learning, Chen Feng allowed Spirit ess to an evenrger pool of data.

    Shua! Shua!

    The screens flickered unendingly. When Chen Feng saw the flickering screens, he had an odd feeling. He felt like he was talking to an AI, which gave him a rather odd feeling.

    "Spirit, are you capable of forming a body here?"

    "Yes."

    "Form one, then. Your current form is too weird."

    "All right."

    Shua!

    With a flicker of light, in the illusory world, a body appeared. As Chen Feng nced at it, he was so angry he almost spat blood then and there. Spirit had actually assumed the appearance of Qin Hai for its, and a naked Qin Hai to boot.

    Chen Feng felt helpless. "This is too excessive. What are you thinking in your brain?"

    "?" Spirit felt odd. "I merely assumed the form of the person with the highest recent frequency of appearance in your brain."

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression darkened. "Shut up. Change your form!"

    What nonsense!

    As Qin Hai had only recently sacrificed himself to rescue Chen Feng and Kong Bai, they had been thinking of ways to rescue Qin Hai. Naturally, Qin Hai had appeared frequently in Chen Feng¡¯s mind.

    Spirit pondered before assuming another form. "All right."

    Shua!

    Light swirled around and a brand new body appeared. When Chen Feng got a clear look at the new body, he had a feeling that life was now without hope.

    Chen Feng¡¯s head ached. "Why did you take this form?"

    Spirit answered honestly, "This is the person with the second highest frequency of appearance..."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    In short, in his mind, it was either Qin Hai or Kong Bai??? As a genius and a person with a good life, why was his brain filled with those two fellows?

    "Perhaps it¡¯s due to us working together recently." Chen Feng inhaled as heforted himself. "Change your appearance again... wait. Forget it."

    Chen Feng pondered. If the third appearance this Spirit assumed was still a male, he would be wondering if the problemid in him. That shouldn¡¯t be the case. Supposedly, Wang Yao should be the one, right? Perhaps he had zero sexual attraction toward Wang Yao due to her too-young appearance? Mhm... this might be a problem.

    Yi, where have my thoughts wandered to?

    Shaking his head, Chen Feng kicked all those thoughts out of his brain and looked straight at the "Kong Bai" standing in front of him. Despite Kong Bai¡¯s somewhat handsome appearance, for an unknown reason, the more Chen Feng looked at him, the more he found this guy ugly. This was especially true when he saw that tiny little thing swaying around on his crotch, as the form assumed by Spirit was essentially naked.

    Chen Feng waved his hand. "Change your form quickly. Assume the appearance of Wang Yao."

    "All right." Spirit transformed itself asmanded.

    Shua!

    A delicate and adorable figure appeared. Instantly, Chen Feng nked.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng assumed a stern expression and stated, "Hold on. I have a question. How are you forming their bodies? I have never seen any of them naked!"

    Spirit answered, "With a small amount of luck power, the perfect data required to reconstruct their body will be obtained. Any problems posed by data can be easily resolved with the power of luck."

    "..." Chen Feng asked the main question he had: "In conclusion, Wang Yao is actually not t chested?"

    "Yes," Spirit answered.

    "Why?"

    "To know the answer for this, 0.85 luck value is required," Spirit prompted.

    "Take it," Chen Feng answered grudgingly.

    Spirit promptly answered, "Her breasts are too huge and affect her movements when fighting. As such, she wraps them up tightly."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    So this is the reason she appears so t chested normally? So this little girl is actually a fake loli? I have been scammed! Hold on, why am I thinking about all this?

    Suddenly, he realized that something seemed different with Luck Aura now. Previously, it had been simply impossible for him to know specific answers to specific questions. After the first upgrade, he had gained the ability to exhaust a huge amount of luck value to obtain a limited amount of information, such as the keywords for the answer to a question. On average, every single dialog had wasted 10 luck value. Naturally, all of this had corresponded to the target¡¯s strength, how secretive the answer he demanded was, and so on.

    And now...

    This Spirit here was able to give him precise answers. This was the first time Chen Feng had seen the usage of luck value be optimized to the point it reached the decimal points. Suddenly, Chen Feng found Spirit less useless now. Naturally, Spirit showing him Wang Yao¡¯s chest wasn¡¯t the reason for his change of mind... Rather, it was Spirit¡¯s ability to optimize the usage of his luck value! Chen Feng was certain that if he had asked this question in the past, at least 10 luck value would have been required. And now, it was sufficient with just 0.85 luck value.

    "The luck value can be calcted so urately, even to the decimal point?" Chen Feng asked.

    Spirit nodded. "That¡¯s right. With my current strength, I am able to optimize it to two decimal points."

    Chen Feng nodded. "All right. Put on some clothes, then."

    Spirit nodded. "Mhm."

    Shua!

    An adorable sailor outfit materialized.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    The unbounded chest and the astonishingly weeb-like style of this dress... This look of Wang Yao¡¯s proved extremely fatal toward Chen Feng. This was truly...

    Spirit was seemingly able to note Chen Feng¡¯s odd expression and hastily exined, "This is based on what¡¯s in your mind..."

    "Shut up!" Chen Feng shouted.

    Spirit stopped meekly. "Oh."

    Chen Feng kneaded his head before saying, "Erm, I think it¡¯s still better if you assume a different appearance. Mhm... take the appearance of a person I have never seen before, all right? Assume a cuter appearance, an appearance that gives off afortable feeling. Most importantly, that must not be a naked person." Chen Feng sighed. "Do you understand?"

    Spirit nodded. "All right."

    Chapter 430: Game Cash Shop, Are You Afraid?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Shua!

    With a swirl of light, Spirit transformed again. Amazingly, this time, it assumed the appearance of a young girl. The young girl was the same height as Wang Yao, and her appearance was astonishingly beautiful. This was indeed a person Chen Feng had never seen before. But then, this girl here seemed to be t chested for real.

    Spirit began to give an introduction. "This is¡ª"

    "Shut up. I am not interested in knowing," Chen Feng snapped. He was certain that if this fellow here were to utter something along the lines of "Based on the expectations in your brain of how a loli should look, I created one," he would most certainly beat this fellow to death.

    "Oh." Spirit cleverly shut its mouth. Right at this moment, the flickering on the screens ended. Self-study wasplete.

    Spirit smiled. "At present, I have self-studied a huge amount of data. It seems like those abilities I rmended earlier are indeed unsuitable. Don¡¯t worry, I will select a better ability for you shortly. Naturally, time will be required," Spirit concluded seriously.

    "Take your time." Chen Feng was not in a rush anyway. He was more afraid of this fellow selecting another xxx ergement ability or something like that.

    Spirit started filtering the abilities seriously. "Mhm."

    Shua! Shua!

    Data started shing past the screens.

    Evidently, these were abilities that seemed good, yet due to them not being suitable for Chen Feng or humans, the abilities were ultimately vetoed by Spirit itself. Chen Feng took a nce at what one of the abilities was. A vague description could be seen: xx ability, xx amount of luck value will be consumed, and so on.

    ...

    Chen Feng kept having an odd feeling. "I keep feeling something is wrong." He started pondering.

    Spirit felt curious. "What¡¯s up?" What was wrong?

    "Look, initially, when I reached this world, I received Luck Aura. Such an amazing cheat. Naturally, people like Kong Bai and Qin Hai have their own variants as well. In short, everyone is orded the temte of a main character, and the most excellent of them all will be the true main character of this era. However, with your appearance, I have a feeling like I¡¯m ying a game or something. Luck value is the equivalence of credits. As long as I have sufficient credits, I will be able to change everything! Coupled with Qin Hai and his fellow apprentice brothers and sisters that are all QQ diamond members... am I perhaps ying some cheap online game?"

    Chen Feng felt powerless to even berate everything he had encountered.

    "???" Spirit failed to understand Chen Feng¡¯s speech, which reeked of ng from Chen Feng¡¯s previous world.

    "Luck value is unequaled, right?" Chen Feng shrugged. "Can I use luck value to trade for some powerful weapons?"

    "Yes." Spirit nodded and continued, "The power of luck is extremely powerful. It is possible to cause a situation where, when some experts are fighting, they will identally lose their weapons and the weapons will identallynd right here for some random reason."

    Chen Feng: "..." I can actually get their weapons to end up here? Isn¡¯t this simr to how pay-to-win yers having weapons delivered straight to their inventory after reloading their credits?

    "Would it be possible to get a fire qilin for myself?"[1] 1 As he asked, Chen Feng rolled his eyes without end. This should be impossible for luck value, right?

    "Fire qilin?" Spirit pondered seriously before answering, "At certain unique locations among the unknown regions, the offsprings of such life forms might truly exist. There is also the possibility of the base species being extinct, though, but then, with their offspring, it might be possible to use luck value to urge them to mate and trigger a gic mutation with a low probability of urrence, reverting their gene to their roots! With that, ancient life-forms such as qilin mighte into being. With some unique conditions added on top of that, fire qilin could very well be created through mutation. Of course, all this will require luck value. As long as you have a sufficient amount of luck values, it is truly possible to obtain a fire qilin."

    Chen Feng: "..." Isn¡¯t this exactly the same as those pay-to-win games?

    Chen Feng sighed. "In short, you are the equivalent of a pay-to-win cash shop?"

    "Cash shop?" Spirit pondered before shaking its head, "The cash shop you mentioned only has some cheap and low-level functions. Luck value is different. For example, you can use it to end your current fate as a single guy," Spirit answered truthfully.

    Chen Feng became somewhat dumbfounded. "???"

    Spirit seemed incredibly upset at beingpared to something like a cash shop. "Based on verifiable data, being single for a long time will affect one¡¯s state of mind. If you wish to, I am able to end your fate as a single guy. This is something those cash shops can¡¯t aplish.

    "A beautiful youngdy that identally stumbles into one of those unknown region shrouded in a primal and chaotic aura... Or perhaps a woman in despair who is coincidentally one of your die-hard fans from yourpetition back then... Or perhaps a beautiful young married woman who has always been hugging your picture to sleep in loneliness since her husband is always out working...Anything you prefer, I can arrange for it right this moment," Spirit concluded solemnly.

    Chen Feng wiped his sweat. "What in the world... hold on!" What is this? Do you need to be so serious?

    He was starting to regret authorizing the self-study function. The speed in which this fellow studied was simply too fast. Perhaps, in a few more minutes, Spirit would even be capable of providing the number of encounters, one-night stands, prices, and so on. Too scary.

    Seemingly considering Chen Feng¡¯s predicament, Spirit added, "Of course, if you want Wang Yao, with sufficient luck value, it is also doable."

    Chen Feng stopped Spirit hastily. "There¡¯s no need." Now he was certain that this fellow here was not some AI. Rather, this was indeed a tool spirit, since this fellow here indeed possessed emotions and was presently sharing all this to get back at Chen Feng forparing this spirit with a cash shop.

    "It¡¯s my bad. Will this apology do?" Chen Feng shrugged. "I shouldn¡¯t have presumed topare you with some a cash shop. Now, please do continue selecting a suitable ability for me, all right?"

    Happily, Spirit showed a "victory sign" with its fingers. "Hehe." Evidently, under the guidance of Chen Feng and its self-study, this initially ignorant Spirit was slowly transforming into a true spirit and consciousness. Whether this was a good or bad thing remained to be seen. It was rather clear that the intelligent Spirit was different than before. Despite the little temper it had, it was much more astonishing than before as well. The most evident change was optimization. Based on what Spirit had said, Chen Feng¡¯s previous usage of luck value had been incredibly wasteful.

    After Spirit¡¯s optimization, every single luck value was 500% more efficient than before. A simr amount of luck value could be utilized to the extreme in her hands.[2] 2 Such efficiency was something nobody could hope to surpass.

    Chen Feng could only gasp in admiration at this. "How powerful." From his impression, something so optimized it was almost cheat-like was something akin to the internal storage of a certain cell phone brand from his previous life.

    Shua! Shua!

    Light swirled around unendingly. While conversing with Chen Feng, Spirit gathered data without stop. Looking at the unending flickering on the screens, Chen Feng was aware that an incredibly huge amount of Luck Aura¡¯s rmendations had already been vetoed by Spirit. Despite all this, only two luck value had been consumed so far. Compared to his previous usage of luck value, the current optimized Luck Aura could only be described with the word "shocking."

    Even without any increase in the luck value regeneration, such a degree of optimization ensured that Chen Feng¡¯s usage of luck value would be much better than it had been in the past. Right at this moment...

    Shua!

    With a sh, Spirit paused. This time, this newly selected ability wasn¡¯t immediately vetoed. Instead, she directly disyed it on the screen. "Master, I believe this ability might suit you."

    Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

 Chapter 431: God Punisher!

    Chapter 431: God Punisher!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    ----

    Name: God Punisher.

    Feature: An independent ability incapable of fusing with other abilities.

    Source: Hillsea beast.

    Summary: At some barren mountain range near mountains and sea, a peculiar mutated beast might appear. The entire body of this beast is blue. They are formidable and capable of unleashing the power of oceans and mountains. Apart from this, their scariest aspect is their sure-kill ability: God Punisher. It is rumored that a certain devil god tried to ughter the ancestors of these beasts in the past and ended up killed instead. From this, the power of this beast is apparent.

    ----

    As Chen Feng reached this point, he paused. "Who is the one who gave the name God Punisher?"

    Spirit stuck her tongue out. "Me. Don¡¯t you think that this name sounds incredibly tyrannical?"

    Chen Feng: "..." He was still somewhat anxious. "When I use luck value for information I require, only the keywords are disyed. You are indeed capable of great optimization. However, by showing so many words in such an unrestrained manner, will you not consume too much luck value?"

    Spirit shook her head. "Of course not. Since I am a tool spirit, when receiving the data generated by luck value, only a single thought is sufficient. Therefore, I am able to instantly obtain the full details of an ability. One point of luck value is sufficient for this. As for the descriptions, those are things I manually typed out for you with great difficulty, okay?"

    Typed out with difficulty... Typed out...

    Chen Feng was left speechless.

    Fine. For him to stumble upon a tool spirit with such individuality, he had no choice but to ept his fate. Next, he continued reading on. The subsequent content was what truly shocked Chen Feng, as this ability was truly tyrannical.

    ----

    God Punisher: Unleash all the different abilities used by the user before... once.

    Consumption: All energy.

    Cooldown period: One day.

    ----

    !!!

    Chen Feng was rmed as he finished reading the description.

    After all the details, the introduction of the actual ability was instead the shortest of them all. However, it was precisely how short this introduction was that caused it to give off a hegemonic feeling. All abilities? With no limitations?

    "That¡¯s right. No limitations," Spirit stated confidently. "If you want to take a look at how it works, I can consume some luck value to analyze it for you."

    "Do it!" Chen Feng stated without the slightest hesitation. His anticipation of this ability was too great. Therefore, he had to figure out the true effect of using this ability. If this ability was truly so amazing, why did nobody use it?

    Shua! Shua!

    Countless data started shing past the screens. Shortly after, Spirit obtained the real reason.

    "First, this is an extremely rare ability. An ordinary person is simply not qualified to even know about it. Only the core members of the major ns of the Mysterious Organization and Gic Union are entitled to know about this ability.

    Chen Feng nodded. "Mhm." This was a restriction of information. This alone was sufficient to block those ordinary ns and powers from getting ess to this ability.

    "Second, even though the hillsea beasts have declinedpared to their ancestors, they are still extremely powerful. They are A-ss beasts, and B-ss warriors are simply incapable of fusing with this ability. Only the young hillsea beasts are at B ss. A B ss will only have a chance of sess if they choose to fuse with the young. Therefore, their blood essence is extremely hard to obtain."

    Chen Feng nodded. "Mhm." This was a restriction of one¡¯s strength. With this, even if some people managed to find out about this ability, they would not be willing to fight a hillsea beast just to get the blood essence for their children. Moreover, their willingness to charge into their of these hillsea beasts was also a point to consider. From this, it was apparent that those truly capable of obtaining this gic ability would be limited to the heirs of major organizations or powers.

    "Third is the issue with this God Punisher ability itself." Spirit paused before continuing, "After every use, the user will have no energy left in their body. With that, the user will be akin to amb waiting for ughter."

    Chen Feng wasn¡¯t particrly surprised by this. "Well, this ability is supposed to be some sort of final trump card anyway." By the time the user was forced to activate this ability, it would already be the moment of life and death. The moment this ability was activated, if the enemy remained, the user himself would be the one who perished. This was something he found eptable. Moreover, this shouldn¡¯t be the reason this ability remained unused even now. If this was all there was to this ability, the users of certain abilities capable of assembling various other abilities would most certainly be able to use this God Punisher ability to great effect. If so, why did this ability remain unused?

    "Well, the fourth point is the actual reason. As God Punisher is an independent ability, it can¡¯t be fused with other abilities. Therefore, the moment one learns this ability, one will have to give up a single slot of their abilities. In other words, when others are using 6-star secret arts, your strongest secret art will be a 5-star secret art. You will forever be weaker than others. You will forever be incapable of challenging an enemy at the same level as you. Moreover, despite God Punisher¡¯s ability to repeat all used abilities once, it might still fail to kill an enemy at the same level, since the user will beparatively weaker. As long as the enemy remains alive, even if they have been seriously injured, they will still be able to easily kill the user after the activation of this ability. This ability seems powerful... However, it is in fact an extremely weak ability," Spirit concluded.

    Therefore, for someone as important as the heir of a major organization, how could such an ability that would render them forever weaker than someone of the same level be appropriate? For them to only be able to strike once? The harsh limitation had caused this seemingly amazing ability to be some rare ability nobody cared about. This was the disadvantage of independent gic abilities. Its inability to fuse with other abilities¡ªits inability to be a secret art! Ultimately, such an ability was not something anyone would be fond of.

    In fact, almost all independent abilities faced such a problem. Since they were incapable of being fused into secret arts, they remained unwee. Regardless of how powerful these independent abilities were, could they be stronger than a 6-star secret art? The answer was a resounding "no." Therefore, for core members and heirs of major organizations, powerful 6-star secrets arts were what they sought.

    "What if I use Myriad Illusions together with God Punisher?" Chen Feng asked.

    This could potentially be an extremely goodbination. Even if others did not have Luck Aura like Chen Feng, since Myriad Illusions had so many different abilities contained within, if one used it frequently enough, they would be able to build a history of a huge amount of abilities used before, right? At least, a history of 1,000 different abilities? At that time, the user could use God Punisher to unleash all 1,000 minor abilities. Wouldn¡¯t that be sufficient to eliminate the enemy?

    "Oh." Spirit gave it some thought before saying, "Indeed, Myriad Illusions could be used with this ability in such a manner. However, you must remember that among the huge amount of abilities contained within Myriad Illusions, one-tenth of them are healing-rted abilities."

    At that, Chen Feng nked. True, he had neglected this point. Myriad Illusions was indeed an extremely magical ability.

    Unfortunately, this was an extremely unstable ability as well. To top it off, there were those healing abilities contained within. When one unleashed four different minor abilities of Myriad Illusions against one¡¯s enemy, a healing ability might be randomly unleashed as well. Therefore, when one used God Punisher to unleash 1,000 of Myriad Illusions¡¯s minor abilities, the result might be: damage, damage, heal, damage, damage, heal, and so on.

    What was the point then? Only if one could instantly kill one¡¯s enemy would this be useful.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "That doesn¡¯t seem right. If one has other abilities that can be used together or if one chooses to not use any healing-rted abilities at all, coupled with several other abilities simr to Myriad Illusions..."

    Spirit smiled. "You are overestimating the power of Myriad Illusions. All the abilities that can arise from abilities like Myriad Illusions are minor abilities. A perfect example is Myriad Illusions. All the abilities it can unleash are those basic minor abilities. This ability is essentially a useless ability. Don¡¯t forget that the only reason this ability works for you is because of you using it in conjunction with your unlimited Wind des and your luck value. Otherwise, this ability would be totally useless. On top of that, your version of Myriad Illusions is also a mutated version improved by you personally. This is simply an unusable ability for anyone else apart from you."

    "Therefore, for people like this, God Punisher isn¡¯t too powerful an ability. For ordinary gic warriors, there won¡¯t be too many different abilities even when they are grouped together. At most, there will be several trump cards being unleashed at the same time. For this reason, they will most certainly not agree to fuse with a gic ability that will cause them to be forever weaker than their peers. Even you would most probably not agree to such fate." Spirit continued her exnation. "Besides that, which major family would be willing to pay a huge price to obtain hillsea beast blood essence just to cause the geniuses of their family to be forever weaker than their peers? To be gic warriors only capable of a single strike?"

    So that¡¯s the reason. Finally, Chen Feng understood. God Punisher, this ability that seemed so tyrannical, actually had so many limitations.

    Suddenly, Spirit started talking again. "Fifth point¡ª"

    "Hold on." Chen Feng was astonished. "There¡¯s even more?"

    Spirit smiled. "Naturally. After some families found out about these ws, they once tried raising some geniuses good at using the God Punisher ability. However, a new problem cropped up then, which is precisely this fifth point I was about to say."

    Chen Feng wiped his sweat. "Go on, then." This ability that seemed so powerful actually possessed so many problems? No wonder this ability remained unwanted. There was a reason for that after all.

    "The fifth point is the way in which the God Punisher releases all those previously used abilities. You are aware that God Punisher will unleash all abilities you have used before. However, a single ability¡ªfor example, Wind de¡ªwill also be released only one time. Therefore, out of the many types of Wind des you have previously released, which one would be chosen by God Punisher?

    "From among all the different types of Wind des you have released before, a single one will be randomly chosen. Furthermore, the might of that Wind de will be exactly the same as when it had been previously released," Spirit exined seriously.

    This...

    At this point, Chen Feng was already speechless. So this so-called "releasing all past used abilities once" was truly releasing what he had released in the past. Chen Feng had initially believed that the might of this ability would be adjusted in ordance with his present strength.

    Spirit shrugged. "That is not possible. If it is released in ordance with your present strength, the amount of energy you have will not be sufficient. The basis of the usage of God Punisher is essentially duplicating the abilities you have used before."

    Chen Feng felt enlightened. So that¡¯s the case.

    No wonder... He had always wondered about the source of energy for the activation of God Punisher. If it was only a pure duplication of what he had used before, it might be justifiable. However, with this, wouldn¡¯t this God Punisher be a huge trap for the user? Ever since Chen Feng had learned Wind de, how many different Wind des had he released? So many it was countless! What if the duplicated Wind de was the one when he had first learned Wind de? When he had been F ss?

    This single w was sufficient to cause this amazing-sounding ability to drop greatly in desirability. Such a useless ability caused Chen Feng¡¯s heart to ache at the mere sight of it. Therefore, it could be concluded that God Punisher¡¯s limitations were too great, and the range of attacks was too huge as well. However, if it was used together with luck value...

    Chen Feng was intrigued. With the assistance of luck value, he would be able to maximize the output of God Punisher. He would truly reach a point where the activation of God Punisher would be equivalent to a destruction so great not even a de of grass was left alive. Randomness? Whatever was used by Chen Feng would most definitely be the strongest. However, there was still a different issue to address. Among the numerous abilities of Myriad Illusions, Chen Feng had once used healing abilities as well.

    "You don¡¯t have to worry about that," Spirit stated. "You have not used them that much anyway. Moreover, you are the only one capable of maximizing the effectiveness of this ability. The release of God Punisher¡¯s abilities is instantaneous anyway. When you use God Punisher, it would be rather suitable to use luck value with it. With only one luck value, you can choose to first use the healing abilities on your enemy, or you can use debuff abilities such as enhancing damage received, enhancing curses received, and so on before erupting with all the damage-dealing abilities instantly. Naturally, you can also choose to use healing abilities toward the end. By that time, your enemy would be dead already anyway, so it won¡¯t matter. With luck value, you can regte the release of the abilities."

    By the time Spirit finished the exnation, Chen Feng was already tempted. So... God Punisher could be used in such a manner! Based on Chen Feng¡¯s past gaming experiences, this would be equivalent to first spamming debuff abilities toward a boss before insta-killing the boss with burst abilities. With this, the damage dealt would most definitely be off the charts¡ªan extremely powerfulbo!

    "I am also capable of giving you some suggestions." The hands of Spirit flickered with light. "The amount of abilities contained in your version of Myriad Illusions is much higher than in others¡¯ Myriad Illusions. With luck value, you can first unleash all the abilities that counter your opponents, including those minor abilities that normally wouldn¡¯t be used. With this, you will have an extremely huge amount of basic damage-dealing abilities.

    "Moreover, thebination of Myriad Illusions and Wind des is equivalent to creating countless never-before-seen 2-star secret arts, theirbination with Energy Equipment is equivalent to all sorts of 3-star secret arts, and so on. With this, by the time you are done activating the variousbinations at least once to build up your history of used abilities, when God Punisher is activated, it will most definitely be incredibly astonishing."

    Slowly, Spirit finished the exnation. Chen Feng was already filled with eagerness.

    Wow! Even thinking about this is sufficient to cause my heart to jump!

    A huge amount of 1-star abilities, 2-star secret arts, and 3-star secret arts, if all these were sted toward an opponent, anyone could be insta-killed easily, A sses included! Chen Feng was already extremely eager to give it a try. His only regret was the fact that his Nethergaze couldn¡¯t be used together. Otherwise...

    Spirit chuckled. "Otherwise, you would be finished. God Punisher is, after all, a mere trump card. If all the abilities you have in your repertoire are used to construct this trump card, you will truly transform into trash capable of only a single strike. Don¡¯t forget that Nethergaze is already one of the strongest abilities your God Punisher will be able to release."

    Instantly, Chen Feng became speechless. Isn¡¯t that right? A trump card is still a trump card, after all.

    With this exnation by Spirit, Chen Feng¡¯s goal became clear. God Punisher! He had to obtain this ability!

    Suddenly, Chen Feng thought of something. "What if the enemies are high in amount?" It was rather impossible for him to have only a single enemy. If the enemies were great in amount, the effect of God Punisher might be weakened.

    Spirit winked. "Among your abilities, you have quite a number of area-of-effect abilities, right?"

    Instantly, Chen Feng was relieved. True, despite the great limitation of God Punisher where the user would exhaust all his energy after using it, who said that God Punisher had to be a single-target attack? With the methods avable to Chen Feng, he would be able to create a huge amount of area-of-effect abilities. At that time... with an activation of God Punisher, bang! Everything would perish!

    "Give me the coordinates, location, and strength of hillsea beasts!" Chen Feng had a resolute gaze. "Don¡¯t forget to give me the form for this gene reagent as well."

    "All right."

    Shortly afterward, the coordinates were obtained. Not much luck value had been consumed for this. However, what caused Chen Feng¡¯s heart to ache was the form for the gene reagent. To obtain it, 3,888 luck value was required.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Based on the recovery rate of 24 luck value per day, he would require 162 days to replenish this? Instantly, his expression darkened. Presently, he only had around 900 luck value on hand. If he truly wanted to wait for his luck value to be sufficient, it would be toote. He only had a single week for this. After one week, the Star City battle would begin and cmity would descend. Chen Feng could remember clearly how a countless amount of people he knew would perish during that event. He would not permit something like that to happen. He had to be stronger. If so, only one method was left for him.

    "Spirit, list out the powers that have this form."

    "All right."

 Chapter 433: Wild Saint

    Chapter 433: Wild Saint

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. With the assistance of Spirit, Luck Aura was now more than a hundredfold more powerful than it had been. With 10 luck value, Chen Feng was able to obtain the information he wanted.

    ----

    Name of organization: Wild Saint

    Location: Seawood City

    Characteristic: Family

    Scale: The strongest family in Seawood City, this is a powerful family nearly capable of contending against the local Seawood City branch of the Gic Union. They are a well-known local magnate. As they are extremely loved by the local poption there, even the Gic Union has never bothered with them, allowing them uninterrupted growth.

    Strength analyze: Five A-ss warriors, a number of B-ss warriors

    ....

    ----

    Certainly, all this information were things that had already gone through the reorganization of Spirit. Chen Feng felt like, after his Luck Aura¡¯s upgrade, he had obtained an administrative assistant. Using 10 luck value, Spirit was able to obtain the data andbat power of this power called "Wild Saint." Chen Feng was extremely satisfied with this result.

    As for the strength of this power, with their five A-ss warriors, regardless of where they went, they could be considered a top-notch power. Granted, this was still extremely weakpared to the entire Gic Union. However, since they had no ns to war with the Gic Union and were merely growing their family in peace, who would actually do anything to them? As long as they did not do something like the Qin family had and collude with the Mysterious Organization or do something like organize terrorist attacks, nobody could do anything to them.

    "A family, huh?" Chen Feng pondered. The cohesion of a power that was made up of a single family was extremely high.

    Basically, this was one of the powers where if you killed a minor character in their family, someone higher up the ranks from the family would appear. If you killed that one, someone even higher up the ranks would appear, and so on. If one wanted to take something from them, one had to exercise extreme caution.

    Five A-ss warriors...

    Chen Feng started analyzing the avable information. The strength of Wild Saint was much greater than he had imagined. With his presentbat power, he could onlybat a peak B-ss warrior head on. He stood no chance against an A-ss warrior, let alone five of them. Therefore, if he wanted to take something from them, he would require the help of the barbarians. But then, the size of the barbarians...

    "Do I really need tounch a full-scale invasion against them?"

    Chen Feng sighed. If he truly deployed the barbarians, the Gic Union would most probably get involved as well. At that time, things would truly be troublesome. This might very well develop into a war of two species. The barbarian race was still too weak. As such, Chen Feng did not intend to expose them prematurely. That wouldn¡¯t work.

    Frowning, Chen Feng pondered without stop. It would seem like he could only sneak in and steal from them then. With Luck Aura and his present strength, it wouldn¡¯t be too difficult for him to steal this form secretly. As long as the luck value consumption did not exceed 1,000, he found it eptable.

    Fine, I will do it this way, then.

    "Spirit, give me the sess rate of this." Presently, Chen Feng was totally treating Spirit like a multipurpose secretary.

    Spirit nodded. "All right." She merely paused slightly before opening her mouth meekly. "Before that, I have a question I don¡¯t know if I should ask you."

    Chen Feng looked at her. "What is it?"

    "Oh." A conflicted expression appeared on Spirit¡¯s face. "Why must you steal from them? Since this family has existed for so many years without being eliminated by the Gic Union, they are clearly a power that abides by thew and has a proper level of strength. If so, wouldn¡¯t it be easier for you to obtain this seemingly worthless form using other methods? For example... by trading with them?" Spirit proposed carefully.

    Shua!

    Suddenly, the scene sunk into silence.

    "..." Chen Feng¡¯s expression darkened. "I actually forgot that this option exists."

    Trade! Instantly, Chen Feng felt somewhat helpless. He had to have been polluted by the Mysterious Organization for him to forget such a regr method of obtaining something he wanted. Who was Chen Feng? A gene producer! Moreover, he was an extremely amazing producer! He also possessed management-level authority in the Gene Production Association and had a good rtionship with Hou Liang. To top all of that off, he had brought numerous great contributions to the Gic Union as well. Wouldn¡¯t it be an extremely simple matter if he wanted to do something legitimately?

    "Oh, this is merely my suggestion," Spirit stated hurriedly.

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "Don¡¯t worry. I have been neglectful. I have indeed been too anxious, huh?"

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    Regardless of how much of a rush he was in, one or two days wouldn¡¯t make much difference anyway. If he was able to deal with this matter within a day or two by trading for this form, it would be for the best. As for dirtying his own hands... he would figure it out when it actually came to that. Would Luck Aura help increase the odds of sess for the trade?

    Chen Feng praised Spirit. "Not bad."

    Spirit¡¯s face was filled with joy at this. "Hehe."

    "Now then, time to meet this Wild Saint family," Chen Feng stated calmly.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng rushed over to the provided address. As for those barbarians, Chen Feng ordered them back to their tribe to develop their tribe as they see fit. If possible, they should nurture the next generation of barbarians as soon as possible. Naturally, the brainwashing course could never be excluded. He was hopeful that by the time their true enemy¡¯s army appeared, the barbarians would have progressed to an eptable degree as well.

    Shua! Shua!

    It was still raining without stop, and the ground was bing even darker.

    **

    Seawood City was a city floating above an ocean. The ck rain did not seem to have that huge an effect on them, as the ck raindrops would water down after dropping into the ocean. If this rain hoped to darken the entire ocean... it would probably require several thousands of years.

    As for the interiors of the city, after receiving the announcement by the Gic Union, all the denizens of this city had worked together to gather the rainwater and pour it all out into the sea. Perhaps this was a ce where the devil spirits couldn¡¯t rise at all. It was rumored that these days, a lot of people had moved here to this city from other ces. These people were all nning to settle down and develop a life here in this city. After being a low-profile city for so many years, finally, glory seemed to have arrived for Seawood City.

    The fall of the ck rain wasmon knowledge, since it was clear for all to see. Hence, almost all powers were trying their utmost to increase theirbat power. As for those rogues that were not part of any powers, they had decided that this was the time for them to join one as well. Wild Saint, being the strongest family in Seawood City, most certainly wished to grasp this chance. As such, they had started a furious recruitment drive.

    Beyond their expectations, a unique individual was attracted to them today. Excellent Producer Chen Feng! Due to Chen Feng¡¯s unique identity, his arrival rmed even the top experts of Wild Saint. They all came out to receive Chen Feng personally. From this, it was apparent how unique Chen Feng¡¯s identity was.

    Chen Feng¡¯s proposal for a trade was met warmly as well. After figuring out that this form was worthless to their family, they agreed to Chen Feng¡¯s trade. This caused Chen Feng toment the smooth progress of this trade. If he had known this would be so easy, what had been the point of even thinking of robbing them? Just look at how easy was it to do things this way instead.

    Afterpleting the procedures, the trade was about to bepleted speedily. Unexpectedly, when the trade was about to bepleted, it was abruptly disrupted. Their patriarch had appeared suddenly to reject this trade.

    Chen Feng could not understand. "Why?" The price he was offering was nearly two times higher than the market price.

    The patriarch was somewhat embarrassed. "I¡¯m sorry. My underlings have been somewhat impudent. I will give you an exnation. Before that, though, I need to know if you are here representing yourself or the organization. If you are representing the organization, I will require proof of that. If you are here on behalf of yourself, I hope to be able to refuse this trade. We don¡¯t need money. As the world is rapidly changing, the value of money is no longer as important. Even if the form for God Punisher is worthless to us, we still hope to trade it for something more valuable. What can your esteemed self offer us in this trade?"

 Chapter 434: I Want You

    Chapter 434: I Want You

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    What to offer? Chen Feng pondered and noted that he truly couldn¡¯t offer anything much. He indeed had a lot of money. However, he couldn¡¯t do anything with that, since they did not want it. Moreover, what spiked Chen Feng¡¯s curiosity was the fact that something like the God Punisher form required interference from their patriarch?

    Chen Feng frowned. "What do you want?" He did not have much time left and was not willing to waste them on some pointless dispute. He was truly unhappy with how they had raised the initial price on the spot, but then, if he could settle this without hups, he wouldn¡¯t be too bothered.

    The patriarch smiled proudly. "I want you."

    Chen Feng was shocked. "What?"

    "Please don¡¯t misunderstand." Only now did the patriarch start exining exactly what he wanted. "The most important resource now is human resources. I hope you can join us. You can continue being a member of the Gene Production Association, yet at the same time, you will also be a member of us, Wild Saint."

    Finally, Chen Feng understood. "Join you guys?" They were totally raising the price here. If he had been anyone else, they would have sold this form long ago. After all, regardless of how much money depreciated, it was still something usable. But with Chen Feng the excellent producer here, he himself was much more valuable than money. If they could make Chen Feng join them... the strength of Wild Saint would most definitely increase dramatically.

    Chen Feng looked at them. "Whose idea was this?"

    "Mine," the patriarch stated calmly.

    Chen Feng stared at him, his eyes sharp. "Do you believe that you can restrict me by using a mere form?"

    The patriarch appeared calm and collected. "Is it truly a mere form? Once upon of time, God Punisher was an extremely valuable form. A lot of major families had copies of it. However, due to how unique this gene was, everyone lost interest in it. As time passed, this form almost went extinct. Now, only our family still has a form that has been preserved in good condition. You can¡¯t find this form anywhere else."

    "I can simply choose to not use this form," Chen Feng stated indifferently.

    "No, you won¡¯t." The patriarch smiled and continued, "God Punisher is different from other forms. This is a form that people rarely need. However, the moment one needs it, it signifies that this form is extremely useful for that person. For this form to make someone with your identitye here to our ce, it shows how important this form is to you. Let me guess, is this something required by one of yourpanions? Or perhaps this is something you require to break through the bottleneck of your master producer?"

    The patriarch was extremely intelligent. With a single nce, he had figured out how urgently Chen Feng required this form. He also had a rather deep understanding of this God Punisher form. The moment someone actually required a unique form like this, that signified that the other abilities of that person had an extreme affinity with this ability. Under such a circumstance, would that person truly give up? This was a chance for them at Wild Saint, an extremely exquisite opportunity! He had to hook Chen Feng with this bait!

    Chen Feng shrugged. "Fine." Despite the difference between his situation and what the patriarch had described, it was still true that he urgently needed this thing. "Then what do I need to do after joining you guys?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Provide the gene reagents we require on a monthly basis. We are aware of the quality of your production. As such, we are confident that you will definitely be able to satisfy our requirements," the patriarch stated humbly.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Producing gene reagents for an entire huge family? If so, he would most likely be trapped here ving away for this family. This patriarch was truly thinking of trapping Chen Feng here forever!

    "Although your life would be somewhat busy, we will also provide you excellent treatment." The patriarch was extremely confident. He knew a lot of gene producers and was aware that an absolute majority of them were rather extreme in their actions. To achieve their goals, they would be willing to give up a lot of things so that they could be stronger, so that they could breakthrough! To a certain extent, a gene producer was rather simr to a fanatical scientist. Regardless of how ineffective the God Punisher ability was, regardless of how many people there were that looked down on this ability, it was still something of quality. It was still a rare high-level form, an ancient form that was almost extinct. Since this Excellent Producer Chen Feng required this form, it certainly had to be invaluable as far as Chen Feng was concerned.

    Chen Feng raised his brows. "What if I disagree?"

    The patriarch sighed. "If so, I¡¯m afraid this valuable form will remain a missed opportunity for you."

    "I recall that your family is involved in a joint project with a certainpany and is allowed to select a single form as you wish. This form seems to also be part of the forms avable to be selected." Chen Feng was looking at the information newly obtained by Spirit.

    The patriarch nodded. "That¡¯s right. Therefore, earlier, I tore up the contract. I am willing topensate them the penalty for breaking the contract."

    Chen Feng chuckled. "What a wless method of doing things."

    "To obtain you, all this is worth it," the patriarch stated with a sonorous voice.

    Chen Feng smiled, but then his gaze became cold and detached. This patriarch was indeed an intelligent person. From a single request from Chen Feng to obtain the God Punisher, he was able to deduce so many things. Furthermore, he had even prepared thoroughly to make use of Chen Feng¡¯s request.

    Chen Fengughed in a self-mocking manner. "Seems like I shouldn¡¯t havee alone after all."

    If he had let someone else handle this on his behalf, things might have been handled more easily. With him rushing over here personally, things had instead be troublesome.

    The patriarch looked at Chen Feng calmly. "I am aware that you might be upset because of this. Therefore, let me introduce myself. Although I am the patriarch of Wild Saint, we also have a close rtionship with the Gic Union. A lot of us are part of the Gic Union and Gene Production Association, and they greatly revere your esteemed self. Furthermore, we have also contributed greatly to Seawood City."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Are you threatening me?"

    The patriarch smiled. "No. I am merely afraid that you will kill me in a fit of anger. After all, despite you being a B-ss warrior, there are a lot of rumors floating around about your past feats."

    The legendary feats of Chen Feng were things they had definitely heard of before. Other B-ss warriors might not be able to y A-ss warriors, but this was possible for Chen Feng. Even if he was merely B ss now, one could never look down on a master producer. It was precisely due to this that the patriarch had chosen to honestly inform Chen Feng of his position. He had never conducted any illegal activities. As such, Chen Feng did not have any rights to do anything to him legally.

    This was not a world where things were either ck or white. This patriarch was not some viin. He had merely rejected the trade, that was all. Despite Chen Feng being upset, he couldn¡¯t do anything about it. He could either join them or leave. Alternatively, if Chen Feng truly wanted to be a viin, he could choose to ughter the entire family and the patriarch. As they had never conducted any illegal activities, Chen Feng would be criticized by the masses and be hunted by the Gic Union. This patriarch¡¯s n was truly meticulous.

    In the uing chaotic era, people like this would definitely be capable of surviving longer than others. Unfortunately, he had angered Chen Feng. Chen Feng had a lot of things he needed to do. Therefore, it was simply impossible for him to be a part of Seawood City. He was also not one of those fanatical producers willing to sacrifice everything. On top of that, he was not someone that would submit to threats!

    Chen Feng merely nced at them in a detached manner. "You guys indeed have the right to do this. However, you guys seem to have forgotten that I have the authority to do much more."

 Chapter 435: Open Conspiracy, Can It Be Eaten?

    Chapter 435: Open Conspiracy, Can It Be Eaten?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the Wild Saint family, Chen Feng had just left.

    "Patriarch, isn¡¯t it somewhat improper for us to do this..."

    Some of them were still rather anxious. After all, Chen Feng was still an excellent producer. Even if they did not get themselves into his good books, there was no need to offend him, right? To force Chen Feng away like that, and saying those words to him... This left a shadow in their hearts.

    The patriarch shook his head. "What are you worried about? Our present oppression of him is only to make himpromise with us. For him to act this way, I instead feel relieved. Since he even uttered those words, this signifies that he truly requires this form. In the end, he is still an excellent producer of the Gene Production Association and will need to abide by thews. What are you afraid of?"

    Only at this did everyone else feel relieved. True, at times, a gentleman was much easier to handle than a shameless person. Chen Feng was indeed someone with a huge reputation and high prestige. However, with his background, he was destined to be unable to do anything immoral or illegal.

    Mhm... if an excellent producer decided to start killing others and robbing their forms, the Gic Union would most definitely get involved. On top of that, the Gene Production Association would not allow him to do as he pleased.

    "I know too well the stubbornness of these gene producers." The patriarch¡¯s gaze appeared profound as he said, "As long as he wishes for this form, he will most certainlypromise with us. This is an opportunity for our family! I will not pull any secretive plots! Instead, I will conspire openly!"

    Only at this did the rest of them understand his intentions. This guy was indeed worthy of being their lord patriarch. Their lord patriarch was indeed capable of seeing much further ahead than them. To conspire openly was indeed a much better choice than to plot secretly. Everyone started admiring their lord patriarch unendingly.

    Unknown to them, while they were all cheering, Chen Feng was thinking of them as a bunch of idiots. Conspire openly? These guys had been thinking way too much...

    Chen Feng sighed. "It seems like this patriarch has been at his position for way too long and is already used to conspiring in all matters." Why did he need to change a good trade into something like this?

    "What are you intending to do?" At this moment, Spirit was already analyzing thebat power of the Wild Saint family. Based on Chen Feng¡¯s character, a huge battle would most definitely happen. Even if Chen Feng couldn¡¯t defeat an A-ss warrior head on, he still had a lot of other methods to exterminate the entire Wild Saint family.

    Chen Feng nced at her. "Don¡¯t be so violent. Do I look like a robber to you?"

    Instantly, Spirit nked and was speechless. Was that not true? Even trading had been something she had proposed to him. Hadn¡¯t the first thought of this master of hers, before even considering other options, been to rob?

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Cmity ising. How can I kill wantonly?"

    Spirit merely looked at her master silently.

    "Let me think." Suddenly, Chen Feng asked, "Mhm... The price we offered previously is already extremely high, right?" These days, he had earned quite a huge sum of money from his shop.

    Spirit nodded. "Yes. Based on the data of the marketce, even the hottest ancient form is only at this price. The price you offered is already extremely high."

    To ensure a speedypletion of the trade, Chen Feng had indeed offered out his hard-earned savings.

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "Mhm, very good. Their family does not want the money. However, there will be someone out there who wants the money. Conspire openly? Let me teach him what it means to conspire openly." Chen Feng sneered. Soon, using his own name, Chen Feng released an announcement.

    "I am in the midst of breaking through my master producer bottleneck and require a God Punisher gene reagent. My trade with the Wild Saint family failed to materialize. Therefore, I am hereby seeking the iplete versions of this form from the major families worldwide. The reward is..."

    Bang!

    At this, the entire world went into an uproar. Despite Chen Feng¡¯s rather ordinary strength, his unique identity as a master producer, excellent producer, and so on, coupled with his extremely high poprity and the aid of his Luck Aura, meant his words attracted the attention of numerous people. Moreover, he had indeed offered an astonishing high reward.

    "He is already breaking through into master producer?"

    "Goodness gracious, such a young master producer!"

    "He is breaking records!"

    "The reward being offered is rather astonishing. With such a huge price for that trash God Punisher form, the Wild Saint family actually rejected the trade..."

    "I¡¯m not too clear about this."

    "This God Punisher form should be rathermon, right?"

    "I have no idea. However, if it¡¯s only avable at the Wild Saint family, they will truly be in trouble now."

    "Why?"

    "Why else?"

    Countless people sneered. When the Wild Saint patriarch found out about this, his entire body felt cold. It was over!

    "Lunatic! This lunatic!" The patriarch cursed in a flustered and exasperated manner. He had never expected that an excellent producer would actually do something like this! Wasn¡¯t this an act of luring the assassins and thieves worldwide toward their family? The patriarch was furious. "I am going to sue him! I want the Gic Union to capture him!"

    "However," his underling meekly stated, "he is only offering a high price to purchase the form. That¡¯s all."

    "..."

    Instantly, the patriarch appeared to be at a loss. This was what caused him to be furious. If Chen Feng had truly issued some secret assassination mission or something simr, he would most certainly have found out about it. After all, in this world, no secrets could be hidden perfectly. Unfortunately, this guy was presently merely purchasing the form in an overly grandiose manner while also announcing that his trade with their family had failed. Wasn¡¯t this an act of telling everyone the Wild Saint family had a copy of that form? Wasn¡¯t this him telling those people toe rob the Wild Saint family?

    Indeed, Chen Feng did not need to make any moves himself. However, this announcement of his instead pushed the Wild Saint family to damnation. They were indeed rather powerful. With five A-ss warriors in their family, they could crush all other powers locally.

    However, whenpared with the elite assassins and thieves of the entire world, even if only A-ss warriors were attracted, could they truly defend against these people? These people were unlike Chen Feng, who had various misgivings. They would act maliciously, and for them, the ughter of an entire family was something extremely normal.

    The mere thought of this caused the patriarch to shudder. What a trap... Now, he was iparably regretful. How stupid had he been to attempt to threaten Chen Feng?

    All his underling were looking at him anxiously. "Patriarch."

    "Perhaps things are not as bad as we think?" The patriarch was still deluding himself. However, only a single hour was required to let him know the truth of things.

    "Patriarch, the entirety of our monitoring system has copsed."

    "Patriarch, there are a lot of traces of our data storage being duplicated. Someone might have hacked and copied all our information."

    "Patriarch, a hidden webcam has been discovered in your wife¡¯s bedroom..."

    "Patriarch, the sales of tickets for transportation to Seawood City has spiked."

    "Patriarch, six chickens went missing from our backyard."

    ...

    "Scram!" the patriarch howled. He was nearly bursting with rage. Why were they even reporting about the chickens going missing?

    The underling felt wronged. "You are the one who told us to report the loss of even a single needle. Those chickens were all imported from the east and are your favorite chickens. Regardless of their appearance or the quality of their meat, they are the best."

    "Hu¡ª" The patriarch inhaled deeply to calm himself down before saying, "Fine, got it. Anything else to report?"

    "Tunnels have been discovered under our family residence," the underling reported.

    "What?" Instantly, the patriarch¡¯s eyes widened. "Underground tunnels?"

 Chapter 436: Family Secret and Such

    Chapter 436: Family Secret and Such

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The underling smiled bitterly. "Yes. We have already captured the culprit. It was our ex-butler. It is said that after he heard about this, he tattooed his entire body with the blueprints of our estate and nned to dig a tunnel in here to steal the God Punisher form."

    "..." The patriarch was so angry his entire body started trembling. "Have you managed to interrogate anything out of him?"

    The patriarch felt powerless.

    "Oh. Based on the clues we investigated, when he was looking for people to dig the tunnel, he once said that an ordinary person would never be able to enter the Wild Saint family, apart from him, since the blueprints were all designed by him." The underling felt helpless as he said this.

    "This is so infuriating!" The patriarch almost fainted from the anger. Back then, this butler had indeed been involved in the design of the blueprints for their estate. Even this old butler had been tempted by Chen Feng¡¯s offer, let alone others. The reward offered by Chen Feng was truly too astonishing. That was the only reason for all this. As for God Punisher, it was instead too worthless inparison. If it wasn¡¯t for Chen Feng wanting this form, this form would most probably be iparable even with those 3-star forms.

    "How did you guys discover him?" the patriarch asked. If this old butler was truly the one who had looked for someone to dig the tunnel and had reached the point where he even had the entire blueprint tattooed to his body, he should have been able to avoid the locations that would be discovered. If so, how had these ordinary guards discovered him?

    "Oh." At this question, the underling sunk into silence.

    The sharp patriarch was able to sense that there was some trick at work here. "Say it."

    "This is what happened." The underling paused before carefully continuing, "It is indeed true that this was nned by the old butler. However, when he had almost reached his destination, an entirely different tunnel somewhere caused a huge copse in the ground. That is how we found out about this, and we captured him as a result."

    The patriarch was horrified. "There¡¯s already an entirely different tunnel down there? Whose work was it? Where does the tunnel lead?"

    When had their family been prated to such an extent? Was this the work of other local powers in this city that were nning to make a move against them?

    "Erm." The underling appeared somewhat distracted. "It... it leads to the inneryer of your wife¡¯s wardrobe."

    "???" The patriarch was stupefied. The inneryer of his wife¡¯s wardrobe? Why was he not aware of this? Hold on, why was there even an inneryer in his wife¡¯s wardrobe? Hold on... Suddenly, the patriarch felt like this was something entirely different.

    As for the underling, he had already shut his mouth, no longer daring to say anything. Instantly, the mood there became somewhat awkward. The patriarch remained silent for a very long time.

    He sighed deeply. "Have I been wrong?" He had never expected his "confrontation" with Chen Feng to bear this kind of fruit. This guy was merely a young genius, a fellow who had only be popr due to his gene productions. Unexpectedly, this guy was capable of such ploys as well.

    "Perhaps... it¡¯s truly time for me to move on from the position of patriarch." The patriarch sighed. Perhaps he was truly too old now and was no longer capable of keeping up with this new era.

    "Contact Chen Feng," suddenly, the patriarch said. "I will sell the God Punisher form to him."

    As his sightnded outside the window, he saw the budding sprouts that had just broken out of the soil. Along with the birth of the green newborn vegetation, a vigorous vitality was brought upon this world, seemingly signifying the glory of a new generation.

    The underling nodded. "All right."

    As the patriarch continued observing the soil outside the court. The sight of the vegetation dying and bing colorless due to the unending ck rain could be seen. That night, Chen Feng appeared there once again. Different fromst time, when he appeared this time, without a trace of politeness, he upied their main seat immediately. Despite this, those of the Wild Saint family could only stand by the side, smiling.

    In a short few hours, they seemed to have experienced the greatest rise and fall a human could experience. This was merely restricted to the pressure they felt from the locals here at Seawood City. Without a doubt, all they had encountered was merely the doings of those who had already been here in the city. By the time those true experts from outside the city arrived... it was probable that the entire Wild Saint family would end up ttened. This was a risk they could not afford to take.

    "I¡¯m sorry," the patriarch apologized politely. He had been rather decisive when he had plotted against Chen Feng. Now that he had been defeated, he admitted his mistake in a decisive manner as well, conducting his affairs in an open and direct manner, not dragging the affair on and on.

    The patriarch demonstrated the highest degree of sincerity he could. "This is the God Punisher form. Please take it."

    Chen Feng merely smiled toyingly. "Oh? However, I am no longer interested in this."

    "Ah?"

    All the Wind Saint family members were stupefied. No... no longer interested? The patriarch nearly cried out then and there. Bro, please don¡¯t toy with us like this.

    "We can reduce the price," the patriarch stated with an aching heart.

    Chen Feng looked at him. "Oh?"

    "Half price," the patriarch stated as he clenched his teeth.

    Chen Feng merely stared at him calmly.

    The patriarch¡¯s heart ached. "One-fifth of the price?"

    As for Chen Feng, he still maintained his calm expression.

    "One-tenth of the price?" The patriarch was on the verge of crying.

    Chen Feng wasn¡¯t even bothered.

    "..." The patriarch was on the verge of copse. Finally, he clenched his teeth and said, "We have always maintained a good rtionship with the Gene Production Association. In view of that, we will gift you this form!"

    The expressions of the rest of the Wild Saint family changed greatly. "Patriarch." Gift? If they were to sell it at even one-tenth of Chen Feng¡¯s original offer, it would still be an extremely high price.

    Chen Feng looked at him in amazement. "Gift? You won¡¯t regret it?"

    The patriarch had a rather unsightlyplexion as he said, "No regrets."

    This...

    The Wild Saint family members exchanged nces. Their patriarch was so incredibly decisive. From his initial plot against Chen Feng until his surrender, he truly had been incredibly decisive. It had reached a point where he nearly surrendered his underpants himself. Since Chen Feng required this thing to the point of doing such a thing, wasn¡¯t Chen Feng afraid that the God Punisher form would be ruined in the process? Chen Feng shouldn¡¯t be too extreme, right? If so, why not try to obtain some benefits from Chen Feng then? These were the thoughts of all the Wild Saint family members.

    Unknown to them, their patriarch had known long ago that if they tried threatening Chen Feng one more time with the destruction of the God Punisher form, the entire Wild Saint family would be over. He no longer dared to threaten Chen Feng. Moreover, even if their threat was sessful, to sell the form for a good price, if Chen Feng insisted on not canceling his offered reward... hehe.

    He was aware that those from the Gene Production Association were rich. However, those as rich as Chen Feng were extremely rare. Presently, he waspletely at Chen Feng¡¯s mercy. This was also the first time he had witnessed a person as merciless as Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng beamed as he looked at the patriarch. "You are very smart."

    As for the patriarch, he was wiping the cold sweat that had formed on his forehead.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng started radiating justice. "However, this trade is too unfair for you guys."

    "No, this is absolutely fair!" the patriarch swore earnestly. "The mere fact that you have taken a liking to this form of ours, for this form to be able to contribute toward humanity, this in itself is already a fair trade for us."

    Chen Feng was all smiles as he looked at the patriarch. "Is that so?"

    The patriarch nearly vowed then and there that he truly thought that this was fair. "Absolutely."

    "Fine then." Chen Feng smiled. "Don¡¯t worry. I will trade with the original price I offered you. I do notck money. What I should give you, I will give. However, I still have something I need your help with."

    "Please state it," the patriarch replied.

 Chapter 437: Preparation Time Will Be Somewhat Longer

    Chapter 437: Preparation Time Will Be Somewhat Longer

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "I heard that you, Patriarch, are ate-stage A-ss warrior with a very powerful trump card?" Chen Feng asked curiously. This was information uncovered by Spirit when she had been preparing for battle.

    The patriarch nodded. "Yes."

    "Absolute Defense?" Chen Feng asked, smiling.

    The patriarch wiped his cold sweat. "Yes."

    Everyone else felt ice cold as well. Indeed, even the deepest secret of their Wild Saint family had already been discovered. This Chen Feng was an excellent producer on the surface, but deep inside, he was an absolute lunatic. If he hadn¡¯t been preparing to make a move against them, how would he have found out about all this? This guy... Suddenly, they felt like their patriarch¡¯s decision to surrender was incredibly wise. Absolute Defense was a powerful trump card of their patriarch. Different from those single abilities, this was a powerful 6-star secret art.

    ----

    Name: Absolute Defense

    Effect: Guaranteed defense against a single attack.

    Cooldown period: One day

    ----

    This was a secret art so powerful it was like a bug in a code. This was because the "single attack" mentioned here was any single attack in the truest sense. Even a full-strength attack from a peak A ss could be blocked. Regardless of how strong or damaging the attack was, Absolute Defense was capable of guaranteeing its defense against a single attack. This was a godlike ability with a nearly heaven-defying defense.

    Naturally, no ability in this world was perfect. For such a powerful ability, it had a rather fatal weakness as well. It was only able to defend against a single attack. If the enemy decided tounch two separate attacks with a gap in between them, Absolute Defense would only be able to block the first attack.

    Therefore, when facing those trump cards or abilities capable of double releases, Absolute Defense wasn¡¯t particrly impressive. This was also the reason for the several serious injuries this patriarch had received in the past. Ultimately, this godlike skill had this w.

    "What are you nning to do?" the patriarch probed cautiously.

    Chen Feng pondered. "I have an ability I have just learned. I am nning to test the strength of this ability. Unfortunately, I am afraid that I will identally hurt someone as a result. Therefore, when I thought about it, you are the only one fitting to test my ability."

    The patriarch was dumbfounded. "Ah? Using me as target practice?"

    "You can say that." Chen Feng gave it some thought. "I only need to test how strong the attack is. I do not want to hurt anyone. Coincidentally, your Absolute Defense is capable of blocking any single attack unconditionally, right?"

    The patriarch breathed out in relief. "Only this request? I agree to your request."

    Chen Feng nodded. "Oh. This ability of mine does not have any other ws. The only w is the preparation time being somewhat long. You need to be prepared for that. Naturally, this will also give you adequate time to prepare your Absolute Defense."

    The patriarch nodded. "No problem." With that, this unique trade wasplete. After receiving the God Punisher form and having Spirit vet the form, Chen Feng canceled his issued reward to the public. Moreover, he also announced that an agreement had been reached with the Wild Saint family and he had already obtained the form. With this, the Wild Saint family and the form became worthless. As such, nobody bothered making a move against them anymore.

    Besides that, Chen Feng had also given a huge amount of money to the Wild Saint family. Naturally, as part of the terms of the trade, the patriarch would be required to receive a single attack from Chen Feng. This seemed to be a rather simple requirement. However, despite Chen Feng¡¯s notification in advance, the patriarch had never expected that this ability of Chen Feng¡¯s would require such a long activation time.

    At the Wild Saint family, a group of people was watching on. In the middle of them all were Chen Feng and that patriarch. Both were facing each other and all around them were bored members of the Wild Saint family. Some of them were already seated on some stools while eating sunflower seeds.

    "How long has it been?"

    "Around one hour, I guess?"

    "What damnable ability is this?"

    "Is this some spell?"

    "What spell requires an hour of chanting? With such a long activation time, let alone a mage, even a professional prostitute would already be mute from all the screaming, right?"

    "Wow, how do you even know about this?"

    "Oh, I saw it on some TV show before..."

    "Wow, you sure have a lot of channels at your home."

    "..."

    The entire group watched on with bored expressions. As for the patriarch, he was nearly bored to death. He had been maintaining his ready-state to activate his Absolute Defense. However, it was truly unexpected that Chen Feng had taken one whole hour yet there was still nothing to show for it.

    The patriarch sighed. "How much longer will this take?"

    "No idea." Chen Feng felt helpless as well. The longer the preparation time, the stronger Nethergaze would be. Naturally, there should be a limit to this strength as well. This limit was what Chen Feng was trying to find. He was trying to unleash the strongest attack the present him was capable of unleashing.

    In the future, when he used the God Punisher ability, the attack he unleashed this time would naturally be one of the abilities included in the release. With this, the strength of his God Punisher ability would be unimaginably powerful. This would be his actual trump card. Hence, it was extremely important for him to release this attack this one time.

    He had to first figure out the limit of his Nethergaze, to see what the strongest attack he couldunch was. Thereupon, another hour passed. Chen Feng was still facing the patriarch. Two hourster, they were still looking at each other tenderly.

    ...

    As for the audience around them, they were already so bored they had started yawning and going to bed.

    The patriarch sighed deeply. "Are you done?" He was now wondering if this Chen Feng was some idiot.

    "Not yet."

    Chen Feng was extremely helpless.

    "Can you notify me when you¡¯re done?" The patriarch was already thinking of making himself busy with some other matters.

    Chen Feng sighed. "The attack will be instantlyunched the moment it¡¯s done. When that happens, if you are not here to receive the attack, I guess your entire Wild Saint family will be destroyed instead. Furthermore, without you in my field of vision, I won¡¯t be able to continue preparing this attack."

    "If so, notify me when you areing out."

    "All right."

    Patriarch: "..."

    This dialog felt somewhat odd? Time continued passing calmly and slowly. After two more hours, the patriarch got his underlings to move a TV out here and started watching TV shows. After three hours, the patriarch got his underlings to move his bed out here and directly plopped down on the bed to sleep.

    ...

    The next day, when the patriarch was so bored he nearly got his underlings to bring him some video games, finally, Chen Feng said, "I think it¡¯s almost done."

    The patriarch¡¯s heart jolted. "Here ites!" Finally, it was here! That superpowerful attack that Chen Feng had been preparing for one whole day.

    Shua!

    His expression became solemn. Even though Chen Feng was only B ss, his strength, on the other hand, was so powerful it had always remained a legend. This attack he had taken an entire day to prepare would most definitely not be a simple attack. Absolute Defense, activate ! Light started swirling around the Wild Saint patriarch.

    Chen Feng could feel himself reaching the limit. "It¡¯sing!" That formidable power had been gathering in his body for so long, and finally, he was no longer capable of controlling it. It was ready to be shot out.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled. "Here ites!"

    Bang!

    Finally, the terrifying radiance shot out. Space trembled. At this moment, even the dusky sky became white. The entire Seawood City trembled and countless people focused their gaze toward the Wild Saint family¡¯s location. Such a terrifying power, which peak A ss was making a move there? Or perhaps... someone surpassing A ss? At this moment, the Wild Saint family became the focus of everyone.

    Chapter 438: Othershore Mountain

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At this moment, the patriarch opposite Chen Feng finally understood the reason this attack had required such a long activation time. That was because this power was simply too frightening. In a single instant, the mere aura of that attack alone was sufficient to cause him to nearly copse. This power was too terrifying! He could clearly see that dazzling radiance erging in front of him and heading toward his face. If it wasn¡¯t for his activated Absolute Defense, he would most certainly have turned around and fled for his life.

    Oh, with the speed of this attack, he wouldn¡¯t be able to flee anyway. It reached a point where, for the very first time in his life, he wondered if Absolute Defense could even block an attack at this level. He truly had no idea.

    Bang!

    Finally, the power of Nethergaze collided with Absolute Defense. The terrifying force engulfed their surroundings, and the sky itself was nearly ripped apart then and there. Above them, the dark sky that had been raining ck raindrops without stop, at this moment, transformed into a clear sky.

    "So terrifying!"

    The rest of the people there almost lost their voice from the fright. So... this was Chen Feng¡¯s strongest attack? Even though the activation required an entire day, what if Chen Feng decided tounch it at someone other than their patriarch? The mere thought caused them to shiver in fear. How could they hope to defend against this? How could they hope to strike back when facing this attack? Such an attack, such a might, if it was shot at them instead... Everyone present was rmed. Chen Feng¡¯s strength was truly too powerful, so powerful it shocked them all.

    Everyone started discussing in low voices.

    "Is this Nethergaze?"

    "Doesn¡¯t look like it. The limitations of Nethergaze are rather huge. Furthermore, it does not have such might either."

    "If so, then what is this ability?"

    "No idea."

    "This Chen Feng is too perverse. His abilities seem endless. Perhaps this is another powerful trump card of his."

    Naturally, they were not aware that Chen Feng¡¯s ability could only be used after setting a person as a target. Moreover, that person had to remain within his sight. Only when they did not notice him would this ability hope to sessfully activate. This was an ability with extremely strict requirements.

    Bang! Bang!

    The sky-covering radiance faded gradually. Even if they had prepared for what was toe, by the time the attack was over, this entire courtyard and the buildings around it were already leveled. Only Chen Feng and the patriarch remained there.

    Pu!

    The Wild Saint patriarch started spitting blood.

    "So powerful!"

    Only a mouthful of blood was spat, as this was the result of the aftershock of the attack earlier. He wasn¡¯t particrly badly injured. However, the clothes on his body were already looking extremely worn out. As everyone nced at him, they were all shocked. Even their patriarch had been injured by this? Good gracious. His ability was Absolute Defense. Theoretically, this was an ability capable of blocking an attack no matter how strong it was. Now, though, he had actually been reduced to this sorry appearance by Chen Feng.

    Ultimately, Chen Feng¡¯s attack was too powerful. So this is Chen Feng? The patriarch sighed. When he recalled how he had dared to plot against a person at this level, he found it ridiculous. The previous time he had encountered such a powerful attack, the opponent had been a peak A ss, right? Back then... forget it. The patriarch shook his head.

    Chen Feng nced at him and calmly stated, "It¡¯s good that you are fine. Since the transaction isplete, it¡¯s time for me to return."

    After saying this, he swaggered away, leaving behind a group of bewildered Wild Saint family members. Presently, the Gic Union members had arrived hastily. After understanding what had happened, they were all dumbfounded as well. The attack earlier had actually been released by Chen Feng? This... Soon, the news spread, causing a huge uproar. Once again, Chen Feng became a trending topic.

    Naturally, the news spreading outside wasn¡¯t exactly detailed. To protect the secrets of Absolute Defense and Chen Feng¡¯s Nethergaze, only a rough detail was leaked. After this rough detail was disseminated, it transformed into various different editions.

    "Hey, have you heard?"

    "What?"

    "I heard that Chen Feng learned an ability called 24K Pure Gold Titanium Alloy Canine Gaze. With a single gaze, he can release a peak A-ss attack."

    "Are you sure?"

    "Definitely. I have the recordings to prove this! Look at the power unleashed back then..."

    "Wow, so powerful?"

    "Is this a fake video? My elder sister works at the Wild Saint family. It is said that the ability Chen Feng learned is actually an ability capable of granting pregnancy with a single nce..."

    "As for that wife of the Wild Saint patriarch, it is precisely this Chen Feng who got her pregnant with a single nce. That is the reason for his conflict with the Wild Saint family."

    "Bullshit!"

    "You are the one bullshitting. I have the proof of this, okay? Look, this is the tunnel dug by the patriarch¡¯s wife..."

    "The f*ck, for real?"

    "Not only that. It is said that, nowadays, everything the patriarch looks at appears green."

    "It is rumored that the patriarch has a different name: Lin Ke..."

    Various different rumors circted online. In this dark era where the ck rain dropped without stop and the sky was enveloped by darkness that even the Gic Union couldn¡¯t find an exnation for, the masses were all incredibly rmed. Everyone was urgently looking for some entertainment to relieve the pressure they were feeling. Therefore, when the rumors about Chen Feng spread, everyone happily gossiped about him.

    Once again, the topic of Chen Feng trended worldwide. On the inte, in all media outlets, the rumors of Chen Feng were everywhere. Moreover, a lot of powers were rmed by Chen Feng¡¯s feat as well.

    A certain power started focusing on Chen Feng. "It is truly unexpected that Chen Feng is actually this powerful. Quick, get someone to rope him in."

    Some organizations that thought of themselves as the saviors of mankind were also focusing on Chen Feng. "This child is not bad. Absorb him into our organization."

    "After all, this world requires more heroes."

    A certain power based at a certain canyon was attracted to him as well. "We need a powerful producer. We must find him."

    ...

    Despite his young age, despite the fact that he was still categorized as the younger generation, Chen Feng had be a unique existence of this Gic Era. Presently, while various powers were seeking out Chen Feng and trying to rope him in, Chen Feng had already silently departed from Seawood City long ago.

    The remaining time he had was extremely precious. Since he had already wasted two days at the Wild Saint family, there wasn¡¯t much time remaining. Fortunately, two items of his n were alreadypleted.

    "Nethergaze has already been prepared. The God Punisher form is already here as well. My next target is hunting some hillsea beasts and then producing the gene reagent."

    Chen Feng had a clear goal. Five days would be sufficient for him to aplish all this. On the afternoon of the same day, Chen Feng arrived at the marked location. Before him was an immense mountain range. The information pertaining to hillsea beasts had already been prepared long ago by Spirit. This so-called "mountain range amid oceans and mountains" was called Othershore Mountain.

    This was an extremely amazing-sounding name. Chen Feng frowned as he thought of this. The hillsea beasts were extremely powerful and had unique abilities. Therefore, the ce they resided in would most certainly not be an ordinary mountain range. Chen Feng had long been prepared for this.

    But then, the name Othershore gave him a bad premonition. In this world, not many ces had "othershore" in their name. However, every ce with this word as part of its name was a forbidden area.

    "Is this a name given by you as well?" Chen Feng asked Spirit.

    Spirit shook her head."No. Let me see... mhm. Back then, an expert from the Gic Union passed through this ce. After returning, he gave this name to this ce. As for other details... I don¡¯t have them."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Is that so?" This ce had actually been granted this "othershore" name by an expert from back then?

    In any case, let me witness this so-called Othershore Mountain.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng stepped in.

    The other shore.

    Buddha once said, "This shore is different than the other shore." This was an extremely unique saying of the Buddhist doctrine. In the Buddhist teachings, the realm of life and death was called "this shore," while the realm of those who had transcended life and death to achieve nirvana was called "the other shore."

    Therefore, Chen Feng was sure that the expert who had named this mountain range back then had most definitely been an old bald man. As for whether that someone had dressed in women¡¯s clothes, it remained to be seen.

    Spirit sighed. "Your thoughts are too disrespectful." But then, she was also aware that this master of hers was merely thinking about this to reduce the tense atmosphere.

    Chen Feng curled his lips. "Who told him to name this ce ¡¯Othershore¡¯?" Even now, he could feel his hairs standing on end. Although this ce looked like some ordinary mountain range and nothing exceptional could be seen, this was, after all, still a ce named "Othershore" by an A-ss expert. He was truly somewhatcking in confidence.

    In this world, there existed all sorts of vestiges and training camps. However, those ces where the danger level could be measured, such as alien bases, peak A-ss warriors, some technology vestiges, and so on were instead things Chen Feng did not fear. For those ces, as long as one possessed sufficient strength, one would be able to do something about it. Even if one wasn¡¯t a match for the danger there, one could at least still flee, right?

    What he was most afraid of was instead ces such as this Othershore Mountain that were enveloped by a veil of mystery and surrounded by all sorts of unreal legends. These legends were too unreal, too illogical!

    Hu¡ª

    A cold breeze swept past. Chen Feng felt somewhat cold, and he trembled uncontrobly. Immediately after, he was startled awake. Cold? Why would he even feel cold? With the present strength of his flesh...

    Shua!

    Suddenly, his luck value dropped rapidly.

    What?

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed abruptly. By the time he had noticed it, 10 points of luck value had been lost. That¡¯s right. During that single instant earlier, he had lost 10 points of luck value. Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s mood sank. Why would his luck value reduce for no apparent reason?

    "Spirit, figure out the cause," Chen Feng stated. This was indeed an unordinary ce. What annoyed him the most was such a random reduction of his luck value for no apparent reason. This was exactly the same as those phone bills of his previous life, right? He had to find out exactly what it was that had reduced his luck value.

    "Yes." Spirit started tracking. This was one of the benefits gained after Luck Aura had gained sentience. The previous Chen Feng had only been able to activate or deactivate Luck Aura. As for the luck value consumption, process of consumption, usage of luck value, and where had it been used, all this had been unknown. The only thing he had been able to figure out was the final amount of luck value consumed. The rest had remained unknown to him. The appearance of Spirit had changed all this.

    "Trackingplete," Spirit stated. "Based on the stored data earlier, we can assume that the reduction of luck value was rted to the rm system. The breakdown of the consumption is as follows:

    "Fatal element detected, one luck value consumed to evade.

    "Fatal element detected, one luck value consumed to evade.

    "..."

    In total, 10 of them had been detected! Ten luck value had been consumed and all of them had actually been used to evade these fatal elements! Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s mood sank. The rm system was a function of the earlier version of this Luck Aura. It would automatically reduce luck value while maintaining the rm or warning mode. With this, Chen Feng would be able to activate his Luck Aura when required. However, it would normally only consume one luck value to warn him. But these fatal elements detected here...

    Before Chen Feng could even ask, Spirit was already ready with the answer. "The detected fatal element is actually part of the particles making up an unknown peculiar ability. It possesses a unique effect where, regardless of who or what, anything that touches it will trigger a probability of bursting apart then and there. The probability is unknown. The way in which someone will burst is also known. However, regardless of what it is, the final result will certainly be death."

    Immediately after receiving Spirit¡¯s conclusion, Chen Feng was shocked. Fatal element... such a thing... Instantly, Chen Feng understood. "Was it hidden in that cold wind earlier?"

    Spirit nodded. "Yes. This should be one of the most dangerous natural dangers of this Othershore Mountain. This is also the reason this ce has remained untamed all these years. Probably due to this ce being too dangerous and unstable, the Gic Union is not interested in making a move on this ce. As such, this ce retains the same style as an unknown region."

    And now.

    Hu¡ª

    Another chilly breeze swept past. As Chen Feng checked his luck value, he noted that this time, 11 luck value was lost.

    His expression became somewhat unsightly. "Sh*t." Even if he had nearly 1,000 luck value presently and a reduction of 10 or 11 points was nothing much, he still couldn¡¯t afford to keep losing luck value in such a manner. He had only stepped into this ce. A single breeze of wind alone contained more than 10 fatal elements? If it was a gale instead of a breeze...

    "Spirit, is there a way to optimize the consumption?" Chen Feng asked. The rm function was something he had created back during the early period. Although it was rather formidable, whenpared with Spirit, its usage of luck value was truly too much of a waste.

    "Let me give it a try." Spirit activated the optimization mode.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Luck Aura trembled slightly.

    Spirit stopped.

    "Optimizationplete."

    Shua!

    Another chilly breeze swept past. With a nce, Chen Feng noted that 12 luck value had been reduced this time.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Boss, your optimization function is rather sh*tty, right? What, you think you¡¯re Ubisoft? At least they have a two-in-one package of a bug and game together. As for you, there¡¯s nothing to see after your optimization!

    Chen Feng sighed. "Negative optimization?"

    Spirit shook her head. "Nope. When you created this function back then, its usage of luck value was already extremely conservative. Therefore, the luck value consumption is unable to be optimized. However, I am able to conduct an independent optimization for you."

    Chen Feng raised his brow. "Oh?"

    "First, the pure rm function. My guess is your initial purpose in creating this function was only to warn you in advance. For this, there is a better alternative: having me on watch. Mhm... this will not require any luck value," Spirit stated confidently. "As long as it¡¯s an enemy within the normal range, I will be able to sense them."

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. He had not expected that Spirit would actually be equipped with this function as well.

    But then, it was understandable. Even if she was simrly a sentient being like Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying was, after all, still something with an illusory form. It would be able to attack an enemy, but at the same time, it was also something one could detect. It would be fine to asionally use Xiao Ying as a scout by having it tunnel underground. However, if this was used too frequently, it would most certainly be discovered.

    As for Spirit, she was totally different. She did not have an actual body. She could remain around Chen Feng and use Luck Aura to sense all enemies.

    "As long as it¡¯s an enemy within range of Luck Aura, I will be able to detect them. Of course, there will still be an extremely small consumption. However, I am able to do it myself without relying on luck value," Spirit stated.

    This moved Chen Feng greatly. Zero consumption! A huge amount of luck value would be saved with this.

    "Second, the defensive mechanism after a crisis has been detected. This is a function that should have originally been bundled with the rm function and should be triggered when encountering danger. However, such a usage is too much of a waste. It¡¯s better to add a trigger mechanism to it."

    Chen Feng felt somewhat doubtful. "Trigger mechanism?"

    "That¡¯s right. By adding a question using one luck value: Will this thing insta-kill you? If not, it won¡¯t trigger. Else, it will trigger the defense mechanism."

    Spiritpleted her exnation. Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. This could be done? Wasn¡¯t this that legendary line of "if { } else { }" all coders were familiar with? He had indeed thought of this before. Unexpectedly, though, Luck Aura could truly be used in such a way. Perhaps this function was only made avable by Spirit¡¯s existence?

    Spirit¡¯s existence had seemingly greatly increased the efficiency of Luck Aura. If this logic was added to the defensive mechanism, even if one luck value would be consumed each time...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "This will enable Luck Aura to truly disy its power!" This was an extremely dangerous ce. In fact, most of the ces Chen Feng went to were extremely dangerous.

    At such dangerous ces, there would be a lot of odd dangers. Some were fatal, some were not. However, Chen Feng had no means of distinguishing them and could only use luck value to deal with all of them. He had no intention of dying to something with a 0.0001% probability of urrence. This entire era was like a huge trap. There were too many geniuses that had died due to idents. As such, Chen Feng had always maintained extreme caution.

    Therefore, normally, when he encountered some unexpected danger, he fully activated his Luck Aura. The benefit of doing this was that he would be able to stop all dangers, regardless of how low the probability of those urrences were. Regardless of how dangerous it was, as long as it did not surpass the limit of his luck value, Chen Feng had no fear.

    The disadvantage of using such method were him not having sufficient luck value. Therefore, whenever hecked luck value, he hid at home, training while waiting for the luck value to regenerate, only daring to leave when he had gathered sufficient luck value.

    This was also the reason for the drop in his speed of improvement. Insufficient luck value...

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Since when have I started relying so heavily on luck value?" Normally, when he was out exploring, even when he encountered a minor danger, he used his luck value to solve it. This had caused him to not have much of a stockpile of luck value. "Luck value is essentially something that should be a trump card."

    Chen Feng was clear that only by solving most of the dangers he encountered personally would he be able to actually umte enough amount of luck value. Only by doing this would he truly be fearless. Only by doing this would he be able to use his luck value on what truly mattered.

    Soon, Chen Feng decided to implement Spirit¡¯s proposal. "Do it."

    This single simple function had cleared Chen Feng¡¯s future path.

    Shua!

    The defensive mechanism was altered.

    "Done."

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was sharp. Luck value was too powerful, too valuable to be wasted on these minor dangers.

    Shua!

    A chilly breeze brushed past. Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s hairs stood up.

    Hum¡ª

    Next, the newly installed logic started operating. Not much luck value was exhausted. This signified that although this chilly breeze was scary, it was not capable of insta-killing Chen Feng.

    The energy in Chen Feng¡¯s body intensified. "Come!"

    Myriad Illusionary Wind des, erupt! Energy Equipment, assemble!

    Bang! Bang!

    As the chilly breeze swept past, the energy surrounding Chen Feng copsed without stop. The seemingly powerful Energy Equipment was actually dissipated by this seemingly calm breeze.

    Ka! Ka!

    With two crisp sounds, the Energy Equipment shattered. However, a smile instead appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. That was because, right at this moment, that rming breeze had vanished as well. Blocked! The initial luck value consumption of more than 10 points had been reduced to only a mere two points! One point to judge the degree of danger, one point to unleash the Wind des as the energy supply for his Energy Equipment.

    "Perfect."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. Hold on. If such logic could be added to the trigger mechanism...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng had an idea. If it was merely being used to judge if Chen Feng could be insta-killed, it would be too much of a waste for such an excellent function. With this, he could totally use it to judge a wide variety of other matters.

    For example:

    If {Chen Feng encounters an impasse-level crisis, trigger the unique-grade feedback}

    else if {Chen Feng encounters a fatal crisis not yet considered an impasse, trigger the grade 1 feedback}

    else if {Chen Feng encounters an emergency not yet considered a fatal crisis, trigger the grade 2 feedback}

    else if {...}

    ...

    So on and so forth.

    Chen Feng could totally list out countless scenarios yet only one luck value would be required as a trigger by feeding it into the logic. This would be sufficient. With this, he could not only obtain the feedback of any dangers, the degree of the danger could be ascertained as well.

    Chen Feng was extremely satisfied. Mhm, very good. Let¡¯s do this, then.

 Chapter 440: Entering the Mountain

    Chapter 440: Entering the Mountain

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Othershore Mountain.

    At this mountain range that had been peaceful for an unknown period of time, a huge group of visitors had arrived. A group of seven had arrived at the foot of a mountain and were looking at the view of the depths of this Othershore Mountain. There were six males and one female in the group, and each of them was so powerful that their strength caused one¡¯s hair to stand. A group capable of exploring a ce like this was evidently not an ordinary squad.

    What entered their sight was a normal-looking mountain range. Despite how visually attractive this scenery looked, for people like them who had explored countless ruins, they had long ago grown ustomed to such a scene.

    Hu¡ª

    A cold breeze swept past. Their sense of vignce red, but nothing seemed to happen. For them, this appeared like just some ordinary breeze.

    One of them shrugged. "This is the Othershore Mountain? This legendary forbidden area doesn¡¯t seem so magical at all."

    A different personughed and said, "The most dangerous thing here should be the hillsea beasts. As a ce where a group of A-ss beasts resides, it is natural for this ce to be ssified as a forbidden area. Captain, do you think everyone else is as powerful as us?"

    The other person smiled. "That¡¯s true." Indeed, an adult hillsea beast would be an A-ss beast. As a ce where those beasts resided, it was natural for this ce to be a forbidden area for humans. Unfortunately, this only applied to regr humans. For A-ss experts like them... this was instead a hunting ground.

    "Seems like the count of my hunted A-ss beasts will increase again," the captain stated calmly.

    "It¡¯s still better to be careful. It is said that the hillsea beasts are extremely unusual," one of them reminded him.

    The captain nodded. "I know." He was indeed an arrogant person. However, he would never underestimate an enemy. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have lived until today.

    "Let¡¯s go." He stood up, and hispanions followed.

    However, he noted that the familiar sounds seemed somewhat different now. He frowned slightly as a result. Although he was arrogant, he was also the one with the highest sense of vignce among their group. During that instant earlier, the footsteps of hispanions behind him had seemed somewhat off. Initially, there had been five footsteps behind but now, it had be four. Had someone defected?

    The captain¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. He had experienced too many betrayals and ambushes. As such, he came to himself immediately and prepared to counterattack. However, when he turned around, he nked. There, roughly two meters from him, thest member of their group, who had been standing behind everyone, was transforming into countless light particles.

    The captain¡¯s eyes widened abruptly. "This is..."

    "What¡¯s up?"

    The rest turned around instinctively and were greatly shocked. What were they seeing? Their team member who would normally protect their rear was currently dissipating, starting from his upper body and going down to his lower body. Half his body had actually transformed into particles, and those light particles were evaporating unceasingly. As for his body, it was slowly copsing, vanishing unendingly.

    He stretched his hand out in fear. "Save me!" However, at the moment when his hand was stretched out, everything was already over. Everyone could see a half-illusory body dissipating in the air. Up there, countless particles wafted through the air beforending onto the ground, enriching the soil of this Othershore Mountain.

    Hum¡ª

    Once again, that ce recovered its previous tranquility. Instantly, their rxed mood evaporatedpletely. Dead. A powerful A-ss warrior was dead just like that.

    Instead of dying in battle, he had been killed at this unfathomable Othershore Mountain. Furthermore, they couldn¡¯t even figure out how he had died. This ce...

    "Was it an enemy attack?" the captain asked solemnly.

    "No." Evidently, there was an expert scout in their group who was able to figure out the real reason soon enough. "He was killed by some fatal particles. However, their origin is still unknown...Perhaps..."

    Just as he was analyzing, suddenly, he felt somewhat cold. Distantly, a cold breeze seemed to have swept past.

    Wind? Instinctively, he took a look at the wind, and immediately after, his expression changed greatly. "Be careful. Something is wrong with this wind."

    Shua!

    The expressions of the others changed greatly. Almost instantly, they all erected their defenses. Unfortunately, they were a tad bit too slow. As the cold breeze brushed past, another person wilted away. Everyone else was shocked to their core.

    "Wind. The wind here is problematic. No matter what, defensive barriers must be maintained at all times," the scout reminded everyone.

    The rest had serious expressions. At this moment, none of them dared to move forward. Carefully, they waited there. Only when an additional cold breeze arrived and was blocked outside their barriers did they feel relieved.

    "This wind doesn¡¯t seem too powerful. It¡¯s only at the level of peak B ss. It is something we can defend against. Prepare your energy reserves properly. We will be able to ignore this wind," the captain ordered.

    "Yes."

    They felt somewhat relieved now. However, when they once again raised their heads to look at this mountain range before them, none of them dared to be neglectful anymore. Not even five meters into this ce and two A-ss team members were already dead¡ªhow would they still dare to look down on this ce?

    Othershore Mountain...

    They exchanged nces with solemn expressions.

    "Complete the mission and leave immediately."

    "Yes."

    Hu¡ª

    The cold breeze drifted past, seemingly apanying the cries of death. They stepped forward amid the breeze, stepping toward the depths of Othershore Mountain.

    **

    The first thing one would encounter when stepping into this ce was this mysterious cold breeze. If one couldn¡¯t notice it in time, one would directly perish there, bing one with Othershore Mountain. On the ground... not even their corpse would remain. This was the most deceptive nature of this ce.

    Chen Feng had once been to a lot of ces. Those ces that were filled with danger would usually have a huge amount of human remains to serve as a warning. Here there was nothing. Fortunately, the present him was capable of responding to this danger in a wless manner.

    "Hopefully things will be easier moving forward," Chen Feng stated to himself. The cold breeze would sweep past asionally. However, Chen Feng noted that he did not even need to resist this breeze with brute force. When the breeze reached him, he could simply hide behind some solid objects nearby and that would do. The cold breeze might be fatal, but it was also rather weak.

    Chen Feng pondered. "In conclusion, with stones, the breeze can be blocked?" It was too much of a waste to use his Energy Equipment just to defend against this breeze. If these stones were able to do that...

    Soon after, Chen Feng could be seen carrying a stone shield around.

    Earlier, he had forcefully thinned down a chunk of rock, transforming it into a crude shield. Afterward, when a new breeze brushed past, this shield was sufficient to block it.

    "The cold breeze is still here. However, the fatal particles have gone missing after touching the stone," Spirit responded.

    "So that¡¯s the case," Chen Feng knowingly answered. It seemed like not only the wind here was unique¡ªeven these stones had mysterious powers. However, he had yet to figure out the origin of all this. With the shield in hand, Chen Feng traveled forth without stop. With this thing here, Chen Feng¡¯s journey became incredibly easy.

    However, when he was about to reach the depths of the Othershore Mountain, his heart jolted. Abruptly, he leaped and hid himself nearby, and his breathing weakened greatly. Distantly, within the depths of Othershore Mountain, the voices of other humans could be heard.

    Chen Feng was astonished. "There¡¯s actually someone elseing here?" Carefully, he sent Xiao Ying out to scout them. The images transmitted back to him surprised him greatly. Not far away, an old acquaintance could be seen. Mhm... that was a person who he had wanted to kill even in his dreams, Old Mei![1] 1

    Shua!

    Abruptly, Chen Feng¡¯s gaze became sharp.

 Chapter 441: What Is This Guy Planning to Do

    Chapter 441: What Is This Guy nning to Do

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Finally, I found you." After he had be popr, he had tried looking for this guy countless times. However, be it through the Mysterious Organization or the Gic Union, he hadn¡¯t been able to find any news about this person. Unexpectedly, he actually saw this guy here! By now, the Old Mei that used to be B ss back then was already an A-ss warrior.

    Chen Feng sneered. "In short, you have been hiding away and training up to A-ss?"

    Chen Feng was but a normal person who held onto his grudges rather strongly. He had almost been killed off by this guy back then. This remained fresh in his memory. Now that he had finally found this guy, Chen Feng would most certainly not allow Old Mei to vanish once again, even if Old Mei was already an A-ss warrior.

    Chen Feng¡¯s instinctive reaction when seeing this guy was to kill him. Even if Old Mei was an A-ss warrior, the strength of his physical body wasn¡¯t exactly high. With the strength of Chen Feng¡¯s instantaneous eruption nowadays, he would be able to deal quite a huge amount of damage. If a sneak attack was mounted on this guy... However, he had barely stood up before he halted his steps.

    Chen Feng regained his calm, as he still had unanswered questions. "It¡¯s still not the time for this yet." Why was Old Mei here? What was his goal? Was there anyone else here? All these questions had to be answered. His present goal was a young hillsea beast. He had no intention of having someone pop out to reap the reward when he was battling the hillsea beasts.

    Hum¡ª

    A gust of energy spread out suddenly. Distantly, a berserk attractive force appeared abruptly from Old Mei¡¯s body.

    Through Xiao Ying, Chen Feng could clearly see those fatal particles being absorbed by Old Mei, entering his body without stop. Old Mei had actually absorbed those particles? Chen Feng was greatly rmed, and instinctively, he bent down and concealed himself even more. What was this guy doing, exactly? Chen Feng was in a solemn mood. Fatal particles...

    Why was Old Mei absorbing these things? Could it be that he was capable of using these things? Chen Feng was extremely clear on how powerful these fatal particles were. Fortunately, as these fatal particles only drifted around without direction, they were easily countered. However, if such particles were intentionally controlled by someone, they would be extremely terrifying.

    Old Meiughed wildly. "Hahahaha. Finally, I have obtained the second particle!"

    Second...

    From what Old Mei had said, Chen Feng was able to obtain some information. From this, it could be deduced that there were actually two of those fatal particles here! Old Mei seemed to possess the ability to absorb these particles. As for whether he could use them or he was trying to use them for something else, it was still unclear.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Old Mei absorbed without stop, and Chen Feng merely watched on silently. The present Old Mei appeared rather bizarre. As such, Chen Feng was not willing to charge at him rashly. Soon, Old Mei was done absorbing.

    "Hehe, it¡¯s almost time." Old Mei stared ahead, his face filled with anticipation. "Ten years of preparation, finally, I have reached the crucial moment. Since I have entered A ss, I will most definitely be the strongest A ss!" As his words reached this point, his tone suddenly filled with resentment as he stated hatefully, "If it wasn¡¯t because of that damnable Chen Feng that destroyed one of my imprints..."

    As he mentioned Chen Feng, Old Mei¡¯s heart filled with hatred. The path he had undertaken for his cultivation was a typical path where one would only be powerful during thete stage. In other words, during the early and mid stages, he would be a weakling. Only when his cultivation was fullypleted would this path he had chosen be sessful. Therefore, before he was actually done, he could only focus on gathering materials without stop. For this, he had been to various locations andpleted various missions.

    He had always maintained a low profile, hiding behind the scenes. As such, he had reaped quite a lot of profit. Everything had progressed smoothly except for that one time where all his efforts had almost been for nothing. Chen Feng... Gic Union...

    Old Mei clenched his fists tightly. If it hadn¡¯t been for that bastard, he would have seeded long ago, and his sess wouldn¡¯t have been dyed until now.

    He shook his head and sneered. "Forget it. This time, when I¡¯m done, I would like to see how the Gic Union can even hope to protect you."

    He had been waiting for this day for a very long time. Even if he was a new A ss, someone at the bottom of the ss, as long as hepleted his absorption of these particles andpleted his fusion with them, he would instantly transform into the strongest A ss. By that point, at early-tier A ss, he would be equivalent to other peak A-ss warriors. When he reached peak A ss, he would be able to battle even those surpassing A ss. This was his so-called superte-stage path.

    "Soon," Old Mei muttered. Presently, the killing intent of Chen Feng, who was watching this through Xiao Ying, surged. Indeed... this world did notck geniuses. They were capable of creating their very own path to be stronger. Simrly, their enemies could do the same as well. Presently, this path chosen by Old Mei was obviously even more powerful. Peak A ss? Supete stage?

    What Chen Feng cared the most about was the fact that, simr to him never forgetting about this Old Mei, this Old Mei had not forgotten him either. He had originally thought that someone at Old Mei¡¯s level wouldn¡¯t even have been bothered about him. Had he been too vicious toward this Old Mei back then? As he thought about it, Chen Feng was speechless. True, the both of them had already had a great grudge. If he had been maintaining a low profile, it might not be this bad, but Chen Feng had just had to be a trending topic every now and then. How could Old Mei have suppressed his hatred with this?

    Chen Feng smiled. "Seems like our fated confrontation will arrive soon."

    At this time, Old Mei started stepping forward. As for Chen Feng, he ordered Xiao Ying to continue monitoring Old Mei while he followed behind from far away. Chen Feng wanted to see what exactly this Old Mei¡¯s goal was and what his so-called sess was.

    Rustle. Rustle.

    The both of them advanced forth amidst the darkness without stop. After a long time, finally, Old Mei stopped.

    Yi?

    Chen Feng, who was observing through Xiao Ying, noted with astonishment that there was actually another person in the distance. Old Mei had evidently noticed that person as well. That was also the reason Old Mei had stopped moving.

    "Trying to reap the profit of others¡¯ hard work?" Chen Feng guessed. However, soon after, the subsequent development became increasingly horrifying.

    The distant enemy suddenly died, transforming into countless particles before vanishing. With a wave of his hand, Old Mei absorbed all those particles into his body, transforming them into his own strength.

    This is...

    Chen Feng was rmed. He could even absorb the particles of those killed? This Old Mei... Hold on! There was another problem with all this, which was the appearance of more people. Apart from Old Mei, there were actually others here. Moreover, Old Mei did not seem shocked to discover others here. The manner in which he had absorbed the particles and the distance he had selected for the absorption seemed so well practiced, seemingly something he had done numerous times before. There had to be a trick somewhere.

    "Spirit, map mode," Chen Feng stated with a deep voice.

    Spirit nodded. "Yes."

    Shua!

    An illusory window appeared. With a single nce, Chen Feng began perspiring all over. On the map of the entire Othershore Mountain, numerous red dots appeared. Based on the parameters he had set for this map, these red dots all represented different peoples. All of them were gic warriors.

    B ss...

    A ss...

    As he looked at the intensity of the red dots, his heart trembled. What was going on, exactly? Wasn¡¯t this Othershore Mountain a forbiddennd? Wasn¡¯t this a ce people did not normally dare to step foot in? Why was it suddenly packed full with people? With a cursory nce, nearly 300 or 400 people could be seen. This was a terrifying amount, even if most of them were only B-ss warriors. Moreover, why were those B-ss warriors even here?

    Adult hillsea beasts here were all A ss. Only the young of these beasts were B-ss beasts. Were all these people here for the young beasts? However, which of these young beasts was without an adult hillsea beast as a guardian? After pondering for a long time, Chen Feng was still unable to discern the reason for there being so many people here.

    Chen Feng was now in a solemn mood. "Seems like something I am unaware of must have happened."

    Chapter 442: Fatal Elements

    Chen Feng was sure that something must have happened here at this Othershore Mountain. As he studied the map, he noted that the entire Othershore Mountain was filled with people except for one particr spot, which was where he and Old Mei were at. This was a nk spot, where only a few people were scattered around. It was no wonder that he hadn¡¯t seen many people here throughout his journey.

    Since this was also within the Othershore Mountain area, why was this ce devoid of people? Coincidence? Or... Chen Feng gazed at the distant Old Mei. Suddenly, he felt like this might be rted to Old Mei.

    "Follow him," Chen Feng ordered Xiao Ying. Subsequently, throughout their journey, a horrifying scene unfolded before Chen Feng. Old Mei was seemingly rather clear with his goal, as Old Mei would move forth directly until he saw someone. When Chen Feng checked the map, he noted that in the direction Old Mei was heading, there seemed to be a red dot.

    "He seems capable of locating the people here." Chen Feng paid full attention. Right at this moment, Old Mei spread his hands.

    Hum¡ª

    With a dazzling radiance, a plum blossom imprint bloomed midair. Next, a cold breeze swept out, and from that previously ordinary-looking cold breeze, an austere aura could now be felt.

    Chen Feng was rmed. "That is..." Suddenly, he had an extremely bad premonition. "Spirit," Chen Feng called out.

    "I saw it." Spirit was evidently extremely shocked as well. "Initially, the cold breeze had none of those fatal elements in it. However, after passing through the plum blossom, those elements appeared."

    Chen Feng was shocked. "Sure enough." Fatal elements! So these things were nted by this Old Mei! This damnable bastard!

    Chen Feng had known that this guy wouldn¡¯t be here for anything good. In short, Old Mei had been using these fatal elements to absorb the life force of others? Chen Feng recalled the scene he had seen earlier. The fatal elements would first crush those people before transforming them into countless particles drifting in the air. Even if these particlesnded on the ground, had they truly vanished? Had they truly became nutrients for thend here? Or perhaps... they instead ended up in the hands of a certain person, bing part of that person¡¯s strength? The person in front of him?

    Chen Feng¡¯s brain operated at a rapid speed as he analyzed the situation. Old Mei was an independent incident. The appearance of all these people here was another incident. The rtionship between these two incidents... Chen Feng frowned as he pondered hard.

    Crowd...

    Particle...

    Fatal elements...

    Quantity...

    Fusion...

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. Could it be...

    Shua!

    He turned on his screen. There, the missions issued by Gic Union and various other major powers were listed. When he saw the topmost mission listed, he suddenly understood. So this was the case! On the list was a rather simple mission.

    ----

    Mission goal: Young hillsea beast.

    Mission reward: Astonishing 5-star and 6-star secret art.

    A single dead hillsea beast can be exchanged for a single 5-star secret art (limited to 10).

    A single live hillsea beast can be exchanged for a single 6-star secret art (limited to 5).

    ----

    A 5-star secret art was invaluable. As for a 6-star secret art, it was a priceless treasure.

    For a lot of newly advanced A-ss gic warriors, the true gap between them and a true A-ss expert was precisely due to the existence of 6-star secret arts. Only by possessing a suitable 6-star secret art could one increase one¡¯sbat power greatly. For this, an A-ss warrior would have to continue seeking, continue umting, and exhaust a huge amount of time and energy, coupled with some luck to top it off, before they could sessfully find one.

    And in this mission alone, 10 such secret arts were being given. Was Othershore Mountain dangerous? Of course it was. However, in the face of such a huge reward, all these dangers were now worth facing. Regardless of whether it was a 5-star secret art or a 6-star secret art, such an astonishing reward was sufficient to cause many B-ss and A-ss warriors to lose their reason. Even if they couldn¡¯t use it for themselves, they could still sell it for an extremely high price.

    Therefore, all these people had gone crazy. For this reward, they swarmed to this ce crazily. Chen Feng was sure that not only neutral parties, even a lot of powers had been tempted as well. Such an astonishing reward was something a lot of families or powers couldn¡¯t evenpete with. More importantly, rather than only giving out one set, a total of 15 sets of these rewards were being provided. With this, the scene before Chen Feng ensued.

    A huge amount of people were here. B-ss and A-ss warriors worldwide were rushing here crazily. Those A-ss warriors were all filled with confidence. As for those B-ss warriors, despite theirck of confidence in a head-on battle, if they were lucky enough, they might still seed. They were here to try their luck.

    Not to mention those possessing unique abilities. Such people were filled with confidence as well. Granted, to protect the privacy of the mission issuer, no information was avable, and not even the Gic Union was aware of who the issuer was. However, Chen Feng was able to find out who the issuer was. Using luck value, Spirit inferred that Old Mei was the issuer. It was indeed this guy! With this, everything Chen Feng had not been able to understand was now clear.

    In order to cultivate some powerfulte-stage ability, this Old Mei was using these fatal elements to start a harvest at Othershore Mountain. However, since the amount of people here had truly been too low, he had released a mission to attract countless people here. From the start, Old Mei had never intended to let them evenplete the mission.

    "The rewards for the mission must first be handed over to the Gic Union. If so, this Old Mei¡¯s preparations over the years should include the forms for these secret arts in addition to from the materials he required for his own cultivation. This guy has been robbing and hopping around variousrge cities and working with the various powers of the different cities all to prepare these resources."

    Chen Feng rubbed his head. He had already arranged all the obtained data. He somewhat admired the capabilities of this Old Mei. Without any family or power backing him, Old Mei had been able to reach this height all by himself. He was indeed a vicious enough individual. If Old Mei¡¯s n proceeded smoothly, he would most certainly seed in his present fusion. Mhm... when everyone here was dead and had transformed into particles for him to absorb, he wouldplete his cultivation. Next, his strength would increase greatly and he would be a powerful existence equaling a peak A-ss warrior.

    Unfortunately for him, all his ns had now been seen through by Chen Feng. At this time, Old Mei set off once again, heading toward a certain individual. All the fatal elements here were released by his plum blossom. As these elements were hidden within the wind, they existed in the form of tiny particles. As such, the others were still capable of blocking it. However, when Old Mei controlled the particles personally and released them toward an individual at a terrifying speed...

    The mere thought of this was sufficient to nt fear in Chen Feng¡¯s heart. Even if the probability of them bursting apart after being touched by a single fatal element was only 1%, with so many of the fatal elements used in the ambush, the enemies wouldn¡¯t even realize how they had died. Those who had died earlier probably hadn¡¯t even realized anything before dying. The so-called legendary dangers of this Othershore Mountain simply did not exist. Rather, this was a plot.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "I need to think of a way to remind them all."

    Since Old Mei could draw this n, he had to have prepared in advance. Chen Feng was not confident that he could eliminate Old Mei alone. Only by causing chaos here would he have a chance at killing Old Mei.

    "Let me think. Mhm... how to logically remind them all about this?"

    Chen Feng pondered for a bit before using Myriad Illusions to carve out two rows of words on the huge boulder in front of him. With a single wave, this huge boulder was flung toward the top of Othershore Mountain.

    Mhm?

    At almost the same time, nearly all the gic warriors here sensed something.

    Everyone looked at the summit of Othershore Mountain.

    "There."

    "There¡¯s actually someone going there."

    "Are they going up there to scout?"

    Everyone sneered. The summit was naturally the highest ce here and thus the location with the best line of sight here. However, that was also a ce that everyone here could see as well. As long as one stood there, that person would be noticed by everyone else. To reveal oneself at a ce like that was no different thanmitting suicide.

    However, when everyone¡¯s gazended there, they all nked. That boulder seemed huge, but in fact, only a portion of the boulder still remained intact, as someone had forcefully reduced the diameter of the boulder to a thickness of a mere 10 centimeters.

    "What¡¯s that?"

    "It looks like a shield?"

    "A shield created by a boulder?"

    "Hold on, that thing is actually capable of blocking that mysterious cold breeze?"

    Everyone was horrified at this reveal.

    Some of them might not have been able to see the fatal elements with their naked eyes, but they were aware that this thing was disseminated by the wind. If that stone shield was capable of blocking even the wind, then that would mean...

    Instantly, all their eyes shone brightly. They were all intelligent people. Utilizing the natural environment here to defend against the danger was merely the spark of an idea given to them by Chen Feng. With this alone, it would be sufficient for them to do the rest themselves.

    "It¡¯s indeed feasible."

    "Haha."

    Everyone was overjoyed.

    "Hey, there seem to be some words on that shield?"

    "Yi?"

    Instinctively, they looked at the "boulder" at the summit. Looking at the side that looked like a shield, two rows of powerful-looking words could be seen.

    Someone read the words out loud. "When you are looking at Othershore Mountain, Othershore Mountain is looking at you as well." Instantly, that person¡¯s mood sank.

    Indeed... Othershore Mountain was indeed an unordinary ce. Apart from these words, there seemed to still be some tiny words continuing the earlier sentence there. Everyone looked over instinctively, and they were instantly dumbfounded at what written there was: "Looking at you until the Othershore Mountain saw you rubbing yourself while facing the mountain before awkwardly looking away."

    "???"

    "What in the world?"

    "Rub my ass!"

    "Damn it, who wrote this!"

 Chapter 443: Old Meiâ€™s Plan B

    Chapter 443: Old Mei¡¯s n B

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    A furious bellow resounded from within Othershore Mountain. "Damn it!" Those who were here for the missions were all furious due to being provoked by the words. As for Old Mei, he was simply bursting with rage when he saw it. He was aware that those words were written for his sake.

    That shield-like boulder had foiled all his ns. Earlier, when he had tried ambushing someone, that person had merely raised a stone shield and faced it in the direction of the cold breeze. Next, nothing had happened...

    The heaven-defying fatal elements were incapable of prating the stones of Othershore Mountain. This was what Old Mei cared about. Someone had seen through his n and told everyone about it, sneering at him in the process. The scariest thing was the fact that he still had no idea who that person was.

    Old Mei was furious. "Who is it, exactly?" He started looking back at all those he had provoked previously. Was it that power he had scammed in the previous city he had been in? That shouldn¡¯t be the case, as that power had suffered rather disastrous casualties due to his scam. Even their strongest A-ss warrior had had his level dropped back to B ss, and the rest of that power was either dead or injured. As such, nobody from that power was capable of taking revenge against him. Or perhaps it was some other enemies of his from before?

    That did not seem like the case, though. Every single time he had reached a new ce, he had used a different identity. As such, nobody knew for sure who he was. Moreover, how could a person capable of this be an ordinary person?

    Old Mei was confused. "I don¡¯t remember provoking such an expert." No matter what, he couldn¡¯t guess who it was that was scheming against him this way. "No matter who it is, I want you to pay the price for this."

    Old Mei¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. This sudden change had caused his n to be foiled. Fortunately, he had long ago prepared some other methods. This time, he had to ensure the sess of his fusion.

    Shua!

    A cold breeze brushed past as Old Mei continued advancing silently.

    "He has not given up?" The distant Chen Feng was watching on as this unfolded, and he was somewhat surprised at Old Mei¡¯s actions.

    He had initially thought that with this trick, Old Mei would be worried that his identity might be leaked and would stop for a period of time. However, that hadn¡¯t happened at all. Old Mei merely continued advancing toward his next target.

    "Go."

    Once again, Chen Feng followed behind Old Mei. This time, Old Mei quietly approached a certain A-ss warrior. Moreover, Old Mei seemed to possess some scouting ability as well. What he found was not a mere single A-ss warrior but an entire squad.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "What is he nning to do?" If Old Mei was thinking of ambushing this group, shouldn¡¯t he be looking for a weaker target? Just as Chen Feng was pondering, an abrupt change happened in the distance. There, a squad of seven was advancing carefully. Due to Chen Feng¡¯s warning, their hands were holding thin stone shields and they were able to block all the cold breezes brushing past them. In a cautious manner, they advanced forward.

    Suddenly, a plum blossom bloomed with sparkling, translucent, and pure rays of light that caused the heart to be flustered.

    They were all astonished. "Yi?"

    "That is..."

    Some of them immediately went on alert.

    "Careful."

    Their expressions became solemn. Despite the fact that this glimmering plum blossom appeared like some natural treasure, these experts that had plenty of experience were still maintaining the highest sense of vignce.

    "This might be some trap."

    "Danger."

    Rather than approach, they instead stepped back.

    None of them dared to rashly go ahead and pluck that plum blossom, as it was rather probable that the moment one touched it, the entire plum blossom would explode instead.

    Shua! Shua!

    Their defenses were fully activated. Only after retreating over 100 meters away did they start cautiously checking this plum blossom out.

    "Is your clone still avable?"

    "It can still be used."

    "Everyone else, prepare your defensive measures. You, use your clone to approach the plum blossom. If it¡¯s some natural treasure, it¡¯s fine. If it¡¯s some other thing or something dangerous, destroy it directly."

    "Understood."

    Everyone obeyed themand. Subsequently, a gic warrior with a cloning ability separated his shadow and used it to approach the plum blossom. As for the rest, they braced themselves cautiously. Next, the shadow touched the plum blossom.

    Hum¡ª

    It merely flickered with a faint radiance. Nothing else happened.

    "Nothing?"

    "This might just be an ordinary plum blossom."

    "Or perhaps this is some rare treasure unique to this Othershore Mountain."

    "Maybe."

    "Anyway, it is never wrong to be careful."

    "Mhm."

    Only at this did they breathe out in relief. However, just as they were about to depart, a gloomy yell resounded from far away. That familiar and imposing voice caused all their hearts to chill.

    "This voice..."

    "Not good!"

    Their expressions changed greatly.

    "Careful!"

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Suddenly, a small hill in front of them started copsing. A peculiar-looking gigantic beast charged out from the hill. Its sharp-looking horn, sharp teeth, and plump body served as a deration of the identity of this beast.

    Hillsea beast! This fellow had actually appeared here! Moreover, from the size of it, this seemed to be an adult hillsea beast.

    "Howl¡ª"

    The hillsea beast roared. Both its eyes ignited like mes as it stared at the plum blossom in anger. Its gaze was filled with fury, hatred, and an unconstrained anger.

    "It seems to hate this thing greatly."

    "It¡¯s infuriated."

    "That damnable plum blossom lured it here."

    "Damn it."

    Their expressions became unsightly. However, they were still people with richbat experience. "The sudden appearance of this plum blossom might be a natural urrence here, or it might also be an enemy hidden in the dark."

    "The two of you, keep watch for the appearance of any enemies. The rest of you, follow me and face the hillsea beast. Since there¡¯s only one beast here, we can still deal with it. If we start fleeing, we might end up getting killed off one by one," the captain ordered calmly.

    "Understood."

    The rest started doing what they had been ordered. Instantly, the squad started striking at this hillsea beast in an orderly manner.

    Very powerful , Chen Feng praised inwardly.

    This was indeed a squad specializing in exploration. Even with Old Mei messing around in the dark, they were still able to calm down rapidly. If everything proceeded smoothly, this hillsea beast lured by Old Mei might instead end up benefiting this squad. Chen Feng reckoned that Old Mei wasn¡¯t that stupid.

    Chen Feng watched on calmly. "Does he still have another n?"

    Presently, the squad was fighting the hillsea beast. This beast had a unique attack-duplicating ability and was able to duplicate its enemies¡¯ abilities and send them back to its enemies. This beast was evidently extremely powerful. Even when facing two A-ss warriors at the same time, it did not seem to be at a disadvantage.

    Unfortunately, it was still a lone beast, whereas it was facing more than two people. Rather, this beast was facing aplete squad here. Therefore, after a short two minutes, this beast was already forced to an impasse and was going to die soon.

    Pu!

    With a flicker of a sword, the beast howled mournfully before its blood sttered out.

    "Good chance!"

    Seeing this scene, the eyes of one of them shed, and that person prepared the final attack against this beast.

    The captain pulled him back. "Return! Have you forgotten the information we gathered? When dying, a hillsea beast will unleash its trump card."

    At this, the others assumed solemn expressions. Indeed, just as the captain finished his words...

    "Howl¡ª"

    With a howl, a terrifying might coalesced around the hillsea beast¡¯s body. A bizarre me started burning around its body, and both its eyes transformed into a mysterious ice-blue color. This burning ice-blue hillsea beast appeared incredibly dazzling amid this darknd.

    "Howl!"

    With a roar, the hillsea beast furiously unleashed its attack toward the squad.

    Bang!

    Instantly, a terrifying radiance bloomed.

    Bang! Bang!

    A boundless radiance flooded out. Amid the endless blue radiance, they were finally able to get a clear look at this beast¡¯s trump card. Finally, they were made aware of what the final struggle of a hillsea beast was like.

    It included 2-star secret arts, 3-star secret arts, 4-star secret arts, 5-star secret arts, and so on.

    ...

    Even a 6-star secret art was included in the barrage. The huge amount of abilities erupted instantaneously, swarming everyone in the squad.

    Chapter 444: It Turns Out This Guy Is Also a Boss-Tier Existence

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "This is..."

    "This is the hillsea beast¡¯s trump card. I heard that this ability is capable of releasing all the abilities it has previously used."

    "Screw you, I¡¯m already aware of that. My question is, doesn¡¯t this fellow only have those few abilities?"

    "Yes, and those few abilities are precisely all the abilities it has previously used..."

    Their expressions changed. "That counts?" For the first time, the hillsea beast had demonstrated a huge power, showcasing its trump card.

    Bang!

    The firstyer of the defensive barrier copsed.

    Bang!

    The secondyer of the defensive barrier copsed.

    ...

    Out of theyers of defensive barriers erected by the squad, around four or five of them copsed instantly, shocking them endlessly. Luckily, after that blue radiance broke through the fifthyer, it finally stopped. All the abilities the hillsea beast had used once before were done being unleashed.

    "Hu¡ªhu¡ª"

    The hillsea beast that had just erupted gasped for breath weakly.

    The captain¡¯s eyes shone. "Good chance!" Indeed, there would be a great profit to reap after bracing themselves through this seeming impasse.

    "It has just unleashed its trump card and is now very weak. Deal with it now, go!"

    They were all overjoyed. Granted, they had just been ravaged by the trump card of this hillsea beast and were presently battered and exhausted. Their clothes were in disarray and numerous scars could be seen on their bodies. However, they had merely lost their defensive barrier. As for the hillsea beast, it was even weaker nowpared to them. They all charged forth at once.

    With despair, the hillsea beast looked at the humans charging at it. In between its gloomy breaths, traces of whining could be heard. Right at this instant, a gust of cold breeze brushed past...

    Hu¡ª

    The squad that was charging forth trembled. It seemed somewhat cold?

    "Not good!"

    Their expressions changed greatly as they finally recollected themselves. Unfortunately, it was already toote for them. This gust of cold air that was much stronger than normal swept past them at a greater speed and with a stronger ferocity. It came right after the hillsea beast¡¯s eruption, and with its arrival, the entire world seemed to instantly sink into silence.

    Hu¡ª

    Hu¡ª

    The cold breeze swept past without stop, and the squad members all stood there, unmoving. On their faces were horrified expressions. They had never expected that they would be able to survive the plum blossom and the hillsea beast¡¯s eruption yet would end up killed by this cold breeze... After all, they only required a single boulder to block this breeze...

    Where was the boulder? Oh, right, it had been destroyed by the hillsea beast earlier. Wasn¡¯t the timing of this breeze somewhat too much of a coincidence? How was it possible for this breeze to have so perfectly arrived following the eruption of the hillsea beast? It had arrived so fast that they hadn¡¯t even had the chance to erect ast-minute defense. With horror, they noted that they did not have the time to even look for a stone before the breeze arrived.

    Shua!

    Radiance bloomed from their bodies. Numerous white particles started hovering out of their bodies. At this instant, their bodies transformed into nothingness. The scariest thing was the fact that even when dying, the only thing they could do was struggle in fear. They had no ability to resist. At this time, they could see that, distantly, a plum blossom drifted before stopping, a figure appearing there.

    "There¡¯s actually someone else..."

    "Hahaha, how ridiculous."

    "We have actually been schemed against?"

    Apanied by sorrowfulughter, all their bodies dissipated in the air. That figure that had appeared with the plum blossom walked toward the hillsea beast one step at a time. As he looked at the grateful expression in the beast¡¯s eyes, he raised his hand before cing an imprint on the forehead of the beast. "From today onward, fight for me."

    Hum¡ª

    The plum blossom imprint blended into the forehead.

    Old Meiughed coldly. "Let¡¯s go." Next, the hillsea beast followed behind him in a docile manner, akin to a pet. On its forehead was the plum blossom imprint, which was flickering with a faint radiance.

    "First steppleted smoothly. Hehe. The one hiding and pulling the strings, how much longer can you stay hidden? This Othershore Mountain is my world."

    ...

    Old Mei¡¯s figure vanished. Chen Feng and Spirit merely watched on silently, not recovering from their stupor for a long time. This was Old Mei¡¯s "n B"? Not only borrowing the power of the hillsea beast to eliminate them, he had even obtained the hillsea beast for himself? How many preparations had this guy prepared? Old Mei was much stronger than Chen Feng had expected.

    This Old Mei might appear somewhat young, but in truth, he was already 80 years old. With his age and talent, he should have entered A ss long ago. Therefore, for him to have wasted so much time, he had to have been preparing all these trump cards and materials. If this was the most important step of his n, he would most certainly give his all to ensure sess.

    Battle intent started rising in Chen Feng¡¯s heart. "This guy is indeed a ¡¯major boss¡¯."

    The stronger Old Mei appeared, the more resolute Chen Feng was about killing this guy. Otherwise, if Old Mei was allowed to break through, trouble would surely befall Chen Feng.

    "Let me do some calctions," Chen Feng muttered to himself. Old Mei was a regr early-tier A ss. However, his ability was extremely bizarre. For example, that seemingly omnipotent plum blossom imprint of his. Spirit adherence, illusory world, pet brand, fatal elements... Using the "plum blossom" as the core, Old Mei had created aplete cultivation system. Each and every single function he created was extremely powerful, powerful enough to be a trump card.

    "If the plum blossom is his first ability, and the rest are his fusion abilities... Presently, he already has five abilities. As for the sixth ability, from what he is doing, he is most probably preparing his sixth ability currently."

    Chen Feng was able to rearrange his thoughts smoothly soon after. He was still preparing his fifth ability, a B-ss gene fusion reagent. As for Old Mei, he was preparing his sixth ability, an A-ss gene fusion reagent. The so-called n was most probably the fusion of this final ability. Presently, even if Old Mei was rather powerful, he was ultimately a person with a messy collection of abilities, thuscking a core ability capable of truly protecting himself. Evidently, eliminating this weakness was also Old Mei¡¯s final goal with his sixth ability.

    With Old Mei¡¯s sixth ability, he wouldbine it with his remaining five abilities and fuse them all together. This would be aplished using the particles he had obtained after killing others with the fatal elements he released as the catalyst. The final product would be a 6-star secret art, Old Mei¡¯s true final ability. Therefore, he was presently using the particles from the corpses of everyone here to polish his 6-star secret art? If so, this was an ability that was still in the works? Soon, Chen Feng was able to link all the clues he had.

    "Am I correct?"

    The ¡¯if { } else { }¡¯ logic he had installed in his Luck Aura started operating, setting up countless options with different levels of truth. Next, using one luck value, he obtained his answer.

    His guess was 95% correct.

    Indeed...

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. This Old Mei was indeed more powerful than he had imagined. If so... his next steps should be rather simple. He only needed to think of a method of gaining benefits for himself by making use of this n of Old Mei¡¯s. His initial target was rather simple:e here, kill an adult hillsea beast, and obtain the God Punisher gene. As for the rest, he did not dare to have much hope. Even if he was aware that the hillsea beast leader would most certainly grant him a much more powerful ability, Chen Feng did not have the courage to even think of touching such a "boss" level existence, as it would be a peak A-ss beast at the very least.

    Now, though... Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. Distantly, Old Mei was already rather far away. Xiao Ying was following behind Old Mei in the dark while Chen Feng was following them while thinking deeply. Finally, the frown on his head slowly eased.

    Perhaps... there are still some methods of dealing with this.

    Othershore Mountain.

    Presently, all sorts of gic warriors were gathered here, resulting in a chaotic mess. All the gic warriors were hunting young hillsea beasts, utilizing all the methods they could. As for Old Mei, he was like a specter, moving in the darkness while reaping the fruits of his n, undetected by anyone. With the incredibly mysterious hillsea beasts and the seemingly everywhere fatal elements, even in death, those gic warriors had no idea who their true enemy was.

    Precisely at such a chaotic location, at the foot of the Othershore Mountain where human traffic was the highest, a vending stall suddenly appeared, causing quite a scene. That¡¯s right, a vending stall. At this ce filled with A-ss and B-ss experts, someone had actually opened a vending stall.

    "Is it for real?"

    "Of course. Someone already went over to take a look."

    "I was there. There¡¯s truly a vending stall there."

    "Has that guy gone crazy?"

    Everyone started having various thoughts. Opening a vending stall? Selling things here? Was this guy merely brave or was he stupid? Some of them chose to act prudently, while some decided to test the stall. There were also some who had already begun thinking of some evil ns. These were mostly lone rangers who had no inhibitions holding them back. As such, they were not bothered by any potential background this vendor might have. They could very well rob the stall directly before leaving. After the deed was done and they hid themselves, who could do anything to them?

    However, when they finally reached the stall, they were somewhat stunned. That vending stall was actually a gene production stall. As for the gic warriors that would normally start fighting it out the moment they encountered each other, they were all surrounding this stall, maintaining a rare peace while staring at the middle curiously.

    Hillsea gene production

    Difficulty: 5 stars

    Rank: Unique

    Introduction: Refined through the extracts of the hillsea beast, various materials are required to extract the mysterious power contained within a hillsea beast and form this unique gene reagent.

    Function: Unleash a might equivalent to the full-powered attack of a hillsea beast. The hillsea beast used as the materials is the deciding factor of the might.

    ----

    "This is..."

    "Dang, gene production?"

    "Able to produce a gene with such power... Is this a legendary master gene producer?"

    "An illustrious master gene producer has actually appeared at a ce like this?"

    "Hillsea beast..."

    Everyone had indefinite expressions. Without a doubt, this hillsea beast gene was an extremely powerful gene reagent.

    From presently avable data, the act of unleashing a might equivalent to a full-powered attack from a hillsea beast was equivalent to at least A-ss power. During battles of life and death, it would most certainly y a big role. Among those capable of producing such a gene reagent, which would not be a master gene producer? This scene where a master producer had actually appeared here at the foot of the Othershore Mountain was rather peculiar, causing a lot of people to be exceptionally cautious. They did not dare to step forth.

    When they looked at the vendor, they noted that he was merely a middle-aged man around 30 or 40 years old. Naturally, this was merely the age of his appearance. Above his lips was a small patch of beard, giving him a rather aged and dissolute appearance. His true age was still unknown, and it was this unknown factor that caused the people here to be even more cautious.

    "Which master producer is not someone around 40 or 50 years old? Could this guy be a master producer nurtured by some major power?"

    "I¡¯m not too sure."

    "Has anyone seen this guy before?"

    "Nope."

    They were all bewildered. Since there wasn¡¯t anything of value arranged on this stall, it was only natural that they no longer intended to rob him.

    "Since this guy is capable of producing one, he might have some leftover stock?"

    "That is probable."

    The eyes of some of them shone at this thought. However, right before that person could even make a move, the vendor raised his hand silently, showing a badge: Gene Production Association¡¯s excellent producer.

    Instantly, that person that had been about to make a move halted. Excellent producer? Instantly, the hearts of the people there shuddered. Apart from that genius youth Chen Feng, which of the other excellent producers weren¡¯t big shots of the Gene Producer Association? With this, who would still dare to make a move against him?

    "Everyone." The guy with a small patch of beard was beaming as he looked at everyone. "There¡¯s no point in robbing me. I don¡¯t have anything here apart from some small crafts. Therefore..." He rubbed his beard before continuing, "Anyone wanting to produce gene reagents, you cane to me directly. As long as the materials listed here are provided together with a hillsea beast, I have absolute confidence in producing this gene reagent for you all. Mhm... as for the fee, one hillsea beast can be used to produce two. I will keep one of the produced gene reagents as the fee."

    Instantly, everyone sunk into silence. Among these people, there indeed existed some who were incredibly reckless and were not the least bit bothered about the Gene Production Association. Despite that, it was rather pointless for them to provoke trouble for themselves for no apparent reason. Since this guy did not have anything valuable on him, what was the point of robbing him?

    Gene production, huh...

    A lot of people sunk into contemtion. Right at this instant...

    A cold shout resounded. "Get out of the way." Distantly, a person carrying a huge hillsea beast approached. With every step he took, a footprint was left on the ground and the earth trembled. This caused the onlookers to feel a chill in their hearts.

    "What a huge hillsea beast!"

    "From the looks of this beast, it should be a mid-tier A-ss beast, right?"

    "That guy actually soloed this beast?"

    The gaze of the onlookers became solemn. The hillsea beasts were normally gathered together in groups. For this guy to be able to solo one of them before carrying that beast back here...

    Bang!

    The hillsea beast was smashed down onto the ground in front of the stall.

    "Produce then," that person stated coldly.

    "All right." The guy with a small patch of beard contemted. "Only a single adult beast?"

    That guy appeared rather regretful. "Hmph. My initial target was a young hillsea beast. Unexpectedly, an adult beast appeared suddenly. Just as I managed to kill it, the entire flock appeared..."

    "So that¡¯s the case." The guy with a small patch of beard beamed and stated, "One each, then."

    "That¡¯s fine by me." That guy sat down cross-legged and stopped talking.

    "Hehe."

    The guy with a small patch of beard started dissecting the hillsea beast in a well-practiced manner. Only now did everyone notice that this guy¡¯s strength was rather exceptional as well. In his hand, an energy weapon coalesced automatically before he easily peeled off the skin and flesh of the beast.

    "This guy is indeed not weak."

    "Hehe, how could a master producer be weak?"

    "True. As a master producer, even if he is personally weak, the gene reagents he has on him..."

    Everyonemented endlessly. When hunting a young hillsea beast, an adult hillsea beast would certainly appear. Unfortunately, apart from the young hillsea beast that would be of some use, those additional adult hillsea beasts were simply a burden to hunt. Granted, they were worth a lot as well. However, it would waste too much time for one to actually carry them back to sell. Rather than that, one might as well sell it here to this guy with a small patch of beard, thereby changing it into a trump card to be used against other hillsea beasts.

    As for the probability of this guy with a small patch of beard being a scammer...

    Hehe.

    One look at the crowds gathered here and one would know how fatal it would be for him if he was a scammer. Naturally, apart from this, there were also some others who had sessfully hunted down some adult hillsea beasts. However, a lot of people had chosen to first see the true capabilities of this guy.

    Two peoples were conversing in low voices.

    "Have you heard of the hillsea beast gene reagent?"

    "Nope."

    "Such a thing exists?"

    "Never heard of it. At least, it has never appeared on the market."

    "If so, this will prove to be interesting."

    In their memories, this hillsea beast gene reagent was something unheard of. They doubted this guy with a small patch of beard could truly produce it. Currently, countless people were looking at the stall.

    Shua! Shua!

    The guy with a small patch of beard started extracting the materials in a well-practiced manner. Fur... flesh... all were handled in a well-practiced manner. Only when he was extracting the blood essence did he pause momentarily before continuing on, appearing like an exceptionally seasoned person at this. Naturally, if there was an expert at heart reading here, that person might be able to read the inner monologue currently progressing within this guy.

    "Has this blood essence fulfilled the requirement to create a mutated God Punisher gene reagent?"

    "Nope."

    "Oh, let¡¯s continue then."

 Chapter 446: The Power of the Hillsea Gene Reagent

    Chapter 446: The Power of the Hillsea Gene Reagent

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    That¡¯s right, this person was precisely Chen Feng. He had thought of countless methods for foiling this perfectlyid n of Old Mei¡¯s. Assassinations, ambushes, reaping profit among chaos, and many others had been considered. Ultimately, he had decided to stick to what he was good at: gene production.

    Hillsea gene reagent? Previously, such a thing had not existed. If this thing had truly existed, the hillsea beasts here would have probably gone extinct long ago. Therefore, to look for a suitable form for this scam of his, he had utilized 100 luck value to find for this form before swapping one of the main materials of this form with a material from hillsea beasts, giving birth to this so-called unique form: hillsea gene reagent.

    Shua! Shua!

    His gene production was speedilypleted. In Chen Feng¡¯s hands were two rather unassuming spheres. The glimmering spheres appeared rather gorgeous, yet they had no powerful aura within them.

    "Is that thing the hillsea gene reagent?"

    "It should be fake, right?"

    "I think so as well."

    With faces filled with doubt, they looked at this guy with a small patch of beard.

    "Here."

    Ignoring them, Chen Feng handed one of the reagents to the one who had hired him to produce them.

    That guy did not seem to doubt Chen Feng. "How do I use this?"

    "It¡¯s simple," Chen Feng said, gesturing. "Toss it out and activate it with your spiritual energy. I have already engraved your spiritual imprint on it. Therefore, only you can trigger it."

    "Oh," that person answered knowingly.

    "Are you two acting a y for us all?"

    Some people sneered.

    "My family has a master producer, yet we have never heard of this so-called hillsea gene reagent. Hehe... who are you trying to scam?"

    "For you two to act out this y trying to scam everyone here, do you two take us all for fools?"

    "By tricking us into hunting down the hillsea beasts like this, you guys will exchange it with this red sphere before fleeing. After that, who will we be able to look for?"

    "Nobody knows what the function of that red sphere is anyway."

    "Moreover, when it reaches a point where we actually need to use it yet it ends up useless, whoever using it will most probably end up dead anyway. At that time, who can look for you two for revenge? Is this your n?"

    The person questioning them appeared furious.

    Instantly, the rest were startled awake. "Yeah!"

    Wasn¡¯t that right? What was the function of this gene reagent? Trump card! If it failed in a crucial moment, the mere thought of the ensuing fate of the user was sufficient to nt fear in their hearts. If this was a trick... It would be extremely easy for them to get rid of a huge amount ofpetitors. Thinking about this alone caused them to feel fear. Regardless of whether this was actually true, as long as such a possibility existed, they would not be willing to take this risk.

    Chen Feng was also astonished. "The hell, they sure are reacting speedily." In fact, he had indeed thought of something simr. However, after considering the possibility of getting exposed and beaten to death, he ultimately had not dared to do it. Unexpectedly, if this n had been used, it would have truly been exposed.

    Mhm...

    The intelligence of these people had obviously increased, and they were no longer so easy to scam. Fortunately, Chen Feng had not tried that. As his thoughts reached here, he nced at the person who had purchased the hillsea gene reagent from him. That was a person with countless scars of differing sizes on his face. Evidently, this was a rather ferocious person.

    Chen Feng coughed. "Heh, brother. Are you not intend to try the might of this thing?"

    "Nope," Scarface stated with a sonorous voice.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "What if I waive the fee and give you both the gene reagents?"

    Scarface¡¯s eyes lit up. "Oh?" Looking at Chen Feng with a faint smile, he thought that this producer here was truly a scheming person. Since this producer was not willing to personally get rid of the enemy, this producer was trying to make use of him to get rid of the enemy. Unfortunately, this was an offer he couldn¡¯t reject anyway. After all, this hillsea gene reagent was a new product that he had never used before. As such, he wouldn¡¯t dare to use it as a true trump card. Since now there was an opportunity to try it out...

    Scarface¡¯s gaze became cold. "Deal."

    Shua!

    The red sphere in his hand was immediately tossed toward that person questioning them.

    Xiu!

    The red sphere transformed into a red streak as it pierced through the air as it advanced.

    The expression of that person changed greatly. "What are you doing?"

    Scarface merely calmly stated, "Since you are saying that this is fake, you can have some fun with it."

    "Sh*t!" That person retreated rapidly.

    Regardless of whether this red sphere was the real deal or a fake, he would not dare to take the risk of taking it on. He fully activated his defense as he retreated without stop. However, the red sphere had already reached him.

    Bang!

    Apanied by a resounding bang, the area of the explosion was instantly enveloped by a blinding red and white radiance.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    The earth trembled without stop. The violent explosion shocked everyone there.

    "This might..."

    "It¡¯s actually real?"

    "Damn, so powerful."

    "An illustrious early-tier A ss was killed just like that?"

    "Too scary!"

    "If this thing is used to hunt the hillsea beast..."

    Instantly, they were all tempted. Why had nobody been sessful inpleting the mission so far? Due to the sheer amount of the hillsea beasts here. In the vicinity of every single young hillsea beast, there were countless adult hillsea beasts wondering around. The only thing they could do was kill those hillsea beasts off one by one in a painstaking manner. Moreover, they had to ensure that they remained undiscovered by the other hillsea beasts. Every step they took was with great difficulty.

    If they obtained this thing here... Every single hillsea beast they killed, they would be able to transform it into a superpowerful trump card. As long as they hunted a sufficient amount of hillsea beasts, they could even fight the entire group of hillsea beasts here. At that time, what difficulty would hunting a mere young hillsea beast pose them?

    Countless people were tempted. "This thing..."

    "Kid, you¡¯re mine." A burly guy stepped out and pointed at Chen Feng before saying with a malevolent expression, "Since you have such production capabilities, you might as well serve our power."

    Before Chen Feng could even say anything, someone else interrupted. "Get lost. With what little power you guys have, what makes you think you canpete against us?"

    "He should belong to us instead."

    They started fighting over Chen Feng. Moreover, some of them were even making a move against Chen Feng directly only to end up getting stopped by the others.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng, who was all smiles, stated, "Everyone, I will be staying here and will not be going anywhere. As long as you all provide me the materials, I can produce for you guys at any time, regardless of the power you belong to. Therefore, there is no need to fight over me. After all, I am merely a gene producer here to earn some service fees. Moreover..." Chen Feng pointed at some vanishing figures far away. "A lot of people are already starting the hunt. If you guys continue fighting here, I¡¯m afraid someone else will get a head start."

    Only at this and after snorting coldly did they stop. "Hmph!"

    The burly guy evidently did not intend to let Chen Feng go. "Kid. After I¡¯m done with this, I wille looking for you."

    Chen Feng smiled as he looked at them. "You¡¯re always weed."

    "Let¡¯s go!"

    Only now did they leave speedily.

    Soon enough, the surroundings sunk into silence once again. However, not far away, there were several people seemingly resting there. Chen Feng merely nced at them, not really bothered about them. These people had evidently been left behind to monitor him.

    Mhm...

    They were monitoring him to prevent his escape. Naturally, if other powers were thinking of making any moves against Chen Feng, these people would most probably protect him as well. They should be the people left behind by the several major powers earlier. Toward all this, Chen Feng maintained a calm facade. This time, he was truly not scamming them. As such, he had nothing to be afraid of. Since he was an excellent producer, when he was out producing gene reagents, he would most certainly win honor for his Gene Production Association. More importantly, he was offering a quality product at a cheap price.

    After all, I am a good and honest person.

    Chen Feng was all smiles as he observed the busy crowd. Despite the power of this hillsea gene reagent, with Chen Feng¡¯s strength, the beasts were still not something he could touch. After all, adult hillsea beasts were required for materials, and even the weakest of the hillsea beasts would still be an A-ss beast. Therefore, this noble mission would have to be left on the shoulders of these cute explorers here at the Othershore Mountain.

 Chapter 447: I Want It

    Chapter 447: I Want It

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Soon, there were people finishing their hunt. This was a squad from a rather formidable power. In their squad, there were four A-ss warriors, yet ultimately, they only managed to kill a single adult hillsea beast.

    "It¡¯s a pity that the young hillsea beast escaped us yet again."

    "Sigh, truly too hateful."

    "This keeps happening. It is truly too hard to steal a young hillsea beast."

    "Well, capturing it isn¡¯t too hard. However, returning alive with that hillsea beast is an entirely different matter."

    "True. I heard that earlier, someone managed to capture a young hillsea beast. In the end, they were beaten into meat paste by the flock of adult hillsea beasts." Everyone sighed endlessly. This mission was much harder than they had imagined. However, it was rather fortunate they had been able to hunt an adult hillsea beast sessfully this time.

    "With the single adult hillsea beast we hunted, we can get that bearded guy to produce a single hillsea gene reagent to umte our strength. If we have a sufficient amount of those gene reagents..."

    They proceeded to drag the hillsea beast corpse to Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng smiled. "Please wait a moment."

    Shua! Shua!

    Once again, he started his gene production. Somewhat regretfully for him, the hillsea beast blood essence this time was still of ordinary quality. Despite being powerful, it still did not fulfill the requirement required for mutation. One could not forget that, currently, all of Chen Feng¡¯s abilities were mutations. With Luck Aura, powerful and heaven-defying mutated abilities had been created.

    Therefore... the previous him had always selected boss-grade mutated beasts as his target when producing gene reagents. However, the boss-grade hillsea beasts were too powerful. Therefore, Chen Feng was willing to reduce his requirement. Despite thepromise, the strength of the chosen hillsea beast still had to be able to fulfill the requirement for mutation. The hillsea beasts he had obtained thus far were far from sufficient for this. This was also the reason he had chosen to produce gene reagents here instead of any of the other ns he hade up with. If he had to hunt personally, how long would it take?

    For the current Chen Feng, the most optimal blood essence selection would be the stronger ones among the B-ss young hillsea beasts. That was because the gene fusion reagent he was going to produce was, after all, a B-ss gene reagent. Unfortunately... this did not seem achievable now. Due to the mission Old Mei had issued, everyone here was hunting young hillsea beasts like crazy.

    The only reason Chen Feng was still safe and sound here was due to him presenting everyone present with an option that would help them achieve their goal faster and have a higher probability of sess. Otherwise, he would most definitely not havested this long standing out here. Therefore, Chen Feng had topromise and select the blood essence of adult hillsea beasts.

    Even though A-ss blood essence was powerful, if he separated it ordingly with the assistance of his luck values, it was still possible for him to reduce the level of the blood to B ss. However, the premise for all this was it needed to first meet Chen Feng¡¯s requirement: being able to mutate. Therefore, he could only try time and time again, making his selection from among countless adult beasts.

    Shua!

    The gene reagent production waspleted.

    He handed it to them. "Here."

    "Good."

    They took the gene reagent in an excited manner before preparing to once again go out on a hunt. They believed that by repeating this a few more times, they would be able to obtain a young hillsea beast. Presently, everyone here was doing the same thing. As such, they werepeting in time. As for Chen Feng, he merely sat there in silence, watching the busy peoples with a gaze filled with love.

    One...

    Two...

    Three...

    The number of people returning to Chen Feng increased without stop. With this, Chen Feng¡¯s production of the gene reagent became more and more well practiced as well. This continued until a moment where a new update appeared suddenly, shocking everyone there. Someone had actually seeded!

    "Seeded?"

    "Is that for real?"

    "Yes! I saw with my own eyes how Master Wei obtained a young hillsea beast."

    Shua!

    Everyone erupted in an uproar. Someone had truly seeded!

    "How did he obtain it?"

    "Yeah, didn¡¯t the hillsea beast flock attack him?"

    "Heh, naturally, they attacked him. However, Master Wei had already killed two of them in an ambush, and then he tossed out two gene reagents to blow up the bunch of them. Next, he carried the young hillsea beast as he turned around and fled. Before that flock of hillsea beast was able to react, he had already escaped sessfully."

    "Wow."

    Everyone was astonished. Surprisingly, right at this moment, a figure appeared.

    "Yi?"

    "That looks like Master Wei."

    "Why has he returned?"

    "No idea..."

    Everyone was puzzled. Now that he had obtained the young hillsea beast, shouldn¡¯t he be exchanging it for the mission rewards instead? Why had he returned here of all ces with this hillsea beast?

    ng!

    The hillsea beast was tossed onto the ground. As everyone nced at the beast, they gained sudden understanding. No wonder he had returned. The beast on the ground was indeed a young hillsea beast. Unfortunately, it was already dead. For dead hillsea beasts, their worth was greatly discounted, and he could only obtain a 5-star secret art for it.

    "I have been careful enough. Unexpectedly, it still ended up dead." Master Wei¡¯s expression was unsightly. "D*mn it. For this single mission, not only do we need to kill those hateful adult hillsea beasts, we still need to be careful lest our target ends up dead. F*ck this."

    The rest agreed with this sentiment. However, there were still some who were extremely tempted when they saw the hillsea beast corpse there.

    Someone couldn¡¯t resist and decided to inquire, "Hum... Master Wei, could you sell this thing to me?" This was a young hillsea beast!

    Even if the materials one could obtain from it weren¡¯t as valuable as what one could obtain from an adult hillsea beast and it was incapable of being used to produce a powerful hillsea gene reagent, it was, after all, still the target of the mission. It was equivalent to a single 5-star secret art.

    Master Wei mere nced at them. "Quote me a price." This was also why he had carried this corpse here in the first ce. He was not willing to carry this thing out to exchange for the mission reward. The two-way trip would waste quite a lot of his time. A 6-star secret art was his goal. At this, the people there started pondering as well. Without a doubt, the price of this thing here should be equivalent to a 5-star secret art. However, the gap between the prices of different 5-star secret arts was rather huge as well. Therefore, quoting an appropriate price for this in itself would be a type of skill.

    Someone else tried to quote a price before the earlier guy could respond. "My offer¡ª"

    However, before he could even offer his price, a familiar voice abruptly sounded, shocking everyone present. "This thing here, I want it."

    This voice... Everyone turned around abruptly and noted with astonishment that this was precisely their producer here, the guy with a small patch of beard.

    "You actually dare to fight with us over this?"

    Killing intent shed in the eyes of some of them. Wasn¡¯t this guy being harmless the only reason he was allowed to stay here?

    The moment this guy was daring enough topete with them over this mission, he would transform into apetitor. With that, nobody would allow him to leave here alive. Unexpectedly, he actually had the courage to take the initiative and make a move here.

    Quite a number of them sneered inwardly. "You are courting death."

    Master Wei smiled faintly. "You?"

    Chen Feng nodded with a calm expression. "Mhm." However, his heart was already roaring.

    Young hillsea beast! That¡¯s a young hillsea beast!

    He had produced many gene reagents here, and this was the very first young hillsea beast he had encountered. With that, how could he not be agitated? He had to obtain this thing. If this young hillsea beast here was able to fulfill his requirement... he would be able to produce the God Punisher gene reagent from it.

    Master Wei looked at Chen Feng toyingly. "You are thinking ofpeting with us as well?"

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Nope. I¡¯m merely thinking that a 5-star secret art might be just nice for my use. I am not interested in your mission."

    Just nice for his use... Everyone nced at him, and instantly, they understood what he meant. Indeed, this guy was indeed B ss. As such, a 5-star secret art was indeed just nice for his use. Instantly, a lot of people there felt relieved. As long as he was notpeting with them, all would be fine. However, there were quite a number of people here who were simrly aiming for 5-star secret arts, and presently, their killing intent started surging. They decided to teach this guy here a lesson.

    Master Wei shrugged. "What price can you offer then?"

    "These." Taking out two red spheres, Chen Feng continued, "Two of these as a trade."

    Shua!

    Master Wei¡¯s pupils shrunk abruptly. Hillsea gene reagent! To capture this damnable young hillsea beast, he had been forced to waste two hillsea gene reagents. Ultimately, he had still failed his mission. If he wanted to umte enough of gene reagents, a long time would be required. Now, though...

    "Five! I want five of them!" Master Wei¡¯s eyes were burning.

    Chen Feng merely looked at him calmly. "I only have two of them."

    Killing intent shed in Master Wei¡¯s eyes. "Five!"

    "This beast is only worth two of them," Chen Feng stated faintly. "Moreover, even this price has been reached after taking the 5-star secret art into consideration. If the mission happens to bepleted by the time I reach there... I¡¯m afraid this young hillsea beast will instead be trash. Therefore, it¡¯s only worth two of my gene reagents. Naturally, if you are not satisfied with this price, you can continue trading with others." Chen Feng appeared extremely calm.

    Master Wei¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "You..." He already felt like killing this guy. However, as he saw the cold and detached expressions on the eyes of the others around them, he calmed down, not daring to make a move. Those people would most certainly not allow him to kill this gene producer like this.

    After all, this gene producer was a guarantee for them to be able to speed up their hunt. However, wasn¡¯t this gene producer too stupid? How long did he expect these people to protect him? When this mission ended, this producer would most probably not even live a single day longer. He would most probably get himself killed by all these people here.

    "Deal." Master Wei gave Chen Feng a cold gaze before taking the gene reagents and leaving.

    Done! Chen Feng stated inwardly. He knew this Master Wei wouldn¡¯t waste his time for some mere 5-star secret art, since his true goal was a 6-star secret art. If so, he would most certainly want to obtain these red spheres no matter what. Therefore, two of them would be sufficient for this trade.

    "Finally, young hillsea beast obtained." The excited Chen Feng stepped forth.

    Unexpectedly, right at this moment, someone blocked him. "I want some hillsea gene reagents as well."

    "?" Chen Feng looked at him with an odd expression. This pretty-looking guy was talking with a sweet tone while his hand was assuming an orchid gesture [1] 1 , causing one to shudder. The pretty guy looked at Chen Feng with an enchanting gaze and stated, "Hand me the red sphere and I will allow you to live."

    "..."

    Chen Feng looked at him like he was looking at an idiot. The rather powerful gic warriors nearby from two different powers were already walking toward them. Evidently, they were not willing to allow such idiots to disturb this producer.

    Suddenly, the pretty guy stated, "Do you guys know how many hillsea gene reagents he has? Thirty-four of them! From the start until now, he has already umted 34 hillsea gene reagents! I know that you guys are protecting him so that the mission can go smoothly. However, the 34 he has here, is it not enough to split among us? To evenplete the mission?"

    At this, the rest were tempted. True, there were 34 of them here! Using only two, Master Wei had already been able to nearlyplete the mission earlier. With 34 of them... it would enable at least five people here toplete this mission. As for the total reward for this mission, there were only five 6-star secret arts anyway. This signified that if they allowed this gene producer to stay alive...

    The pretty guy smiled faintly. "He will keep producing morepetitors for us. Therefore, rather than allow his existence to keep producing trouble for us, why not get rid of him directly and share the gene reagents among us? What do you guys think?"

    All their eyes lit up. What a good idea! Even those who had initially been in charge of monitoring and protecting Chen Feng were now hesitating. When they now looked at Chen Feng, their gazes were burning and filled with greed. Those were hillsea gene reagents. Who would be bothered with the background or umtion of someone capable of producing such a thing? After leaving this Othershore Mountain, they would all pretend to not know each other.

    "This n is indeed possible." With that, the gazes that had earlier been focused on the pretty guy were now focused on Chen Feng hungrily. They were all tempted as they nned how to eliminate this low-level gene producer! Mhm... excellent producer, to be precise.

    "Ultimately, this is not the type of ce you producers shoulde. When you are too weak,ing here is equivalent to courting death. What a pity."

    They shook their heads, sighing, yet none of them intended to help Chen Feng.

    Shua!

    The pretty guy made his move. This time, nobody blocked him. However, surprisingly, even now, Chen Feng was still looking at that pretty guy like he was looking at an idiot.

    Chen Feng sighed. "This is the idea you came up with?" When one became greedy, one would start losing their reason.

    This pretty guy did not quite look like an idiot. The rest around him did not look like idiots either. However, for their benefits, to make arge profit, they were starting to lose their intelligence. The only thing they had on their mind was robbing Chen Feng, to the point they had forgotten to ask one crucial question.

    "Is there a need for this?" Chen Feng sighed as he tossed out a red sphere in an unhurried manner.

    Bang!

    After a huge bang, the world seemed to return to peace. Instantly, the pretty guy charging at Chen Feng was bombarded senseless. Even with his mid-tier A-ss strength, he was still instantly gravely injured, blood spurting out of his entire body.

    "He is actually still alive?" Chen Feng was somewhat surprised. "Well, maybe because the gene reagent I used earlier was produced from an early-tier A-ss hillsea beast. Mhm, are you interested in trying this one instead?"

    At that, Chen Feng took out another hillsea gene reagent that seemed even more powerful than the earlier one.

    Shua!

    At this sight, those around him, their blood boiling, felt like they had been dunked in cold water. As for the pretty guy who had gravely injured been by Chen Feng, his entire body chilled as well. His eyes were filled with fear as he stared at the red sphere in Chen Feng¡¯s hand. Damn it! Only now did they recall something extremely terrifying. Since they could use this gene reagent, couldn¡¯t Chen Feng use it as well? Who in the world said that a gene producer couldn¡¯t battle?

    After getting stuck in an erroneous line of thought for a prolonged period of time, they had neglected that gene producers had a certain degree ofbat strength as well. This was especially true for excellent producers. This red sphere was something this producer could use himself as well. Moreover, the strength of this gene reagent was rather powerful indeed.

    "Hehe. Anyone interested in trying it out?" Chen Feng beamed as he looked at the people around him. Countless red spheres started hovering around him. As they saw this, they were given a scare. None of them dared to approach Chen Feng or even get within one meter of him.

    "How obedient." Silently, Chen Feng retrieved his red spheres. "Mhm... As I mentioned before, I am only here to earn some extra ie. As for those 6-star secret arts, even if someone gives me one, I wouldn¡¯t be able to use it. Moreover, I don¡¯t need those secret arts either. This thing here is much more useful than your secret arts," Chen Feng stated as he yed with a red sphere in his hand. At this, everyone became speechless. Wasn¡¯t that right? These red spheres were terrifying enough to match a 6-star secret art. The scariest fact was that this gene reagent could even be mass produced. So that was the actual goal of this producer here!

    Chapter 449: The Pitiful Old Mei

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng nced at them. "Even that young hillsea beast is only something I want to bring back for research. Therefore, there is no need to see me as apetitor. I will still be here silently earning the fees for my production. If there are any needs, you are all wee."

    The rest exchanged nces before dispersing. Now, they no longer dared to look down on this gene producer. They decided to stick with their initial n ofpleting this mission. Some started bringing hillsea beasts to Chen Feng in session as well. Everything progressed smoothly. While Chen Feng was helping them in their gene production, his main focus had already shifted onto the young hillsea beast.

    "Does the blood essence fulfill the requirement for mutation?"

    Spirit¡¯s reply caused Chen Feng to feel overjoyed. "Yes."

    "Very good." Chen Feng was agitated. He could finally get started with the production of God Punisher. Finally, he couldplete the main reason he hade here to this Othershore Mountain.

    "Spirit, luck value¡¯s assistance."

    "Understood."

    "Despite God Punisher¡¯s various ws, it is still rather suitable for me. I really want to know what the mutated ability of God Punisher will look like... Will it be stronger?"

    Chen Feng was filled with anticipation.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around and the production began. Currently, on the other side of Othershore Mountain, Old Mei¡¯s n was progressing smoothly as well.

    "Mhm... 60% fusion degree."

    Old Mei was very pleased. When he looked at these so-called gic warriors, a majority of them even stronger than him, rushing toward his trap and throwing away their own lives, he had an extremely splendid feeling.

    Old Mei was filled with anticipation. "Soon enough, I will seed."

    As long as his fusion reached 100% smoothly, allowing his powerful ability to showcase its true might, nobody here at this Othershore Mountain could hope to be a match for him. Mission? Reward? Hehe. All the people here were mere cannon fodder. This was the confidence Old Mei had in himself.

    Then... time to move on toward the next target?

    Old Mei¡¯s gaze was focused on his next target. That was a rather ordinary early-tier A-ss gic warrior. That warrior was able to pose a small amount of threat toward him. However, that warrior was still not too difficult to deal with. Earlier, Old Mei had even killed off ate-stage A-ss warrior.

    Shua!

    Old Mei approached that person noiselessly. The fatal elements were blocked, yet Old Mei did not think that this mattered, since he still had other methods. Old Mei ordered the hillsea beast to charge at the gic warrior. With this powerful pet, he had no fear.

    Howl!

    The hillsea beast charged forth and started battling the gic warrior. Old Mei approached silently before releasing the fatal elements from his hand. Beyond his expectations, just as his fatal elements were released, as they were still drifting through the air, the opponent seemed to sense the iing crisis. Abruptly, the opponent tossed an odd-looking red sphere toward the hillsea beast.

    Bang!

    With a resounding explosion, the terrifying might erupted immediately. By the time Old Mei had reacted to this, the only thing he could see was the previously iparably majestic hillsea beast dying. That¡¯s right, this beast had been bombarded to death just like that.

    "Hmph!" With a snort, that person raised his stone shield and faced a certain direction.

    Shua!

    The cold breeze brushed past him, yet he was safe and sound. His ice-cold gazended on a certain spot,nding on Old Mei¡¯s body.

    The intelligent him did not use the red sphere to attack Old Mei as he was clear that the red sphere might be avoided when used on a human target. However, there wouldn¡¯t be any problems when used against the hillsea beasts.

    He stared at Old Mei in disdain. "You¡¯re thinking of taking advantage of me?"

    "..."

    Old Mei fixed his gaze on that dead hillsea beast before ncing at that person, clenching his teeth, and rapidly retreating.

    That person merely shook his head as a response. "Hmph!" He had no intention of pursuing Old Mei. Such people that were good at ambushing were normally quite fast as well. It would be a waste of time to pursue such a person. Squatting down, he looked at the dead hillsea beast.

    "Mhm, I¡¯m in luck. Even if this beast was bombarded to death, its body was still intact. This won¡¯t be considered a waste."

    As he finished his words, he carried the hillsea beast and started returning. Since the red sphere had already been used, he could use this beast to get the producer to make a new one for him. At most, only some time would be wasted. It seemed like, from now on, he would have to be vignt against the fellow earlier.

    As for Old Mei, who had just escaped, his expression was somewhat unsightly. He had already been trying his best to avoid those powerful-looking guys. Unexpectedly, he had still encountered someone difficult to deal with. This was especially true for that person¡¯s trump card, the red sphere.

    Old Mei inhaled deeply. "Hu¡ª" Just like that, the hillsea beast that had apanied him in so many battles was gone.

    Old Mei sighed. "Well, seems like I can only capture a new beast, then." He had no intention of facing those gic warriors. Thereupon, he used his plum blossom imprint to lure another hillsea beast to him before cing the imprint on the beast¡¯s forehead. With this, he sessfully captured another hillsea beast. Time to continue the operation! The earlier failure had not reduced Old Mei¡¯s confidence at all.

    Next, the Old Mei who had reorganized himself started making his move once again. Even if the sess rate of using his fatal elements was rather low, he wasn¡¯t really bothered. Instead, he used his hillsea beast to attack in a well-practiced manner. However...

    Bang!

    When another red sphere exploded, Old Mei was dumbfounded. A-a-another one? This was too excessive! The earlier fellow¡¯s trump card was this thing? Fine. But then, why did this new target he had found have the same trump card as well? Both of them obviously had different gic abilities.

    Pu!

    Another hillsea beast was killed as Old Mei escaped in a sorry manner, almost dying then and there.

    Old Mei¡¯s expression was unsightly. "What in the world is going on?" He had not expected that when he reached this point in his n, things would suddenly be so difficult. Was it because all the weaker ones had been killed off by him earlier, leaving behind all theparatively stronger ones? Or was there another reasons for this?

    Old Mei had no idea and could only capture a new hillsea beast before starting his hunt once again. After wasting two whole hours, he managed to find a suitable hillsea beast. Next, he selected an extremely weak-looking person. And next...

    Bang!

    Another red sphere exploded. The hillsea beast that he had painstakingly captured after wasting two hours was killed off the moment it appeared.

    "Who dares to ambush me?" that person roared. Old Mei was so shocked he decided to flee immediately. However, just as that person finished roaring, a second red sphere was tossed out.

    Bang!

    An explosion that caused one to feel like the entire world was trembling ensued. After a long time, a bloodstained Old Mei could be seen escaping with a sorry appearance. Why was this happening? Old Mei was puzzled. That red sphere...

    He could forget the fact that two people had such thing, but for even the third people he had found to have it? Moreover, that person had tossed out two of them in a row? This was truly too excessive. One ought not to bully others like this, right?

    "What exactly was that thing?" Old Mei kept having a feeling like he had missed something. Here at this Othershore Mountain, something he didn¡¯t know of had to have happened. Henceforth, Old Mei stopped his n. Carefully, he moved amid the darkness and started observing the gic warriors here. With shock, he discovered that a lot of people seem to have those red spheres. Almost everyone here!

    ??

    What was going on? What exactly was that red sphere? Old Mei was dumbstruck. This red sphere here was not some candy being given out for free at some kindergarten. Why had they be somon that even some B-ss warriors had them? When Old Mei witnessed with his own eyes how even a B-ss warrior could toss one of these red spheres out, ensuing in a resounding "bang," Old Mei was left with a "what the f*ck" expression.

 Chapter 450: Kind Old Man

    Chapter 450: Kind Old Man

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Old Mei inhaled deeply. "Well, I¡¯ll follow behind one of them and see what happens." Presently, the chill that had been sent down his spine remained. He was like a chess yer whose chess pieces were all in position. His chess pieces all appeared intact, yet all of them were covered with ayer of poop. When touching them, he wouldn¡¯t die, yet there would be a feeling of disgust. This was precisely how he was feeling currently.

    Suddenly, he recalled that huge boulder that had appeared on the summit earlier. Back then, he¡¯d had a feeling that someone was scheming against him. From how things were progressing, could that be true? As he thought of the possibility of him transforming from a chess yer into someone else¡¯s chess piece, he shivered. He had to investigate this clearly.

    Thereupon, hidden in the dark, Old Mei followed behind three different squads in a row. Those squads hunted hillsea beasts without stop before returning. Old Mei did not do anything and was only observing them silently. However, nothing was found. These people always went down to the foot of the mountain, seemingly preparing to leave.

    Just as Old Mei was about to give up, suddenly, he saw something odd at the foot of the mountain. There, at the entrance to the Othershore Mountain, a guy with a small patch of beard in his 30s was running a vending stall. Beside him was a signboard stating that he was here to produce hillsea gene reagents. Below the signboard was an excellent producer badge.

    Old Mei¡¯s expression changed slightly. "Excellent producer?" When he saw someone carry a hillsea beast over to exchange for a red sphere, he finally understood what was going on. So the red spheres originated from here?

    As he witnessed how that excellent producer produced two red spheres and kept one for himself before giving the other to the hillsea beast supplier, Old Mei¡¯s expression became unsightly. Therefore, only a single hillsea beast was required to trade for one of these? If so, his n would be...

    Old Mei felt like he had fallen into an ice cave. He knew that it was over for his n. With this red sphere, he had no hope of hunting those gic warriors here. If he wanted to gather the particles, he would have to face those gic warriors head on. But then, hisbat power...

    Could he look for those without the red spheres? As Old Mei swept his eyes around, his gaze became sorrowful. Everyone here seemed to have those red spheres in their possession. The scariest fact was that his initial young hillsea beast n was supposed to keep these people here for a long time, yet now that no longer seemed to be the case. With the appearance of those red spheres, the speed at which these people couldplete the mission had greatly increased. It wouldn¡¯t be long before they seeded inpleting it.

    At that time, his mission...

    Old Mei¡¯s heart became ice cold as he thought of that. Could he kill this gene producer, then? Old Mei nced at that pile of red spheres beside the gene producer and instantly gave up on this impossible thought. He was sure that regardless of whether or not he could kill that person, the moment he made a move, he himself would most definitely die.

    What to do, then? Old Mei pondered in despair. Would he have to give up just like this? He had spent 10 whole years preparing for this. Gathering so many 6-star secret arts and 5-star secret arts, each of them was something he had obtained with no regard to the price paid, and now... he had to give up on it? These secret arts he had painstakingly gathered over a period of 10 years would only be exchanged for these young hillsea beasts? No, that wouldn¡¯t do!

    Old Mei kept observing the crowd that was moving around as he contemted speedily. He was already an extremely intelligent person, as he had been able to use only 10 years to gather so many valuable secret arts, regardless of the methods or prices he had paid. He refused to believe that this was unsolvable for him. He believed that he would most certainly be able to think of something.

    Red sphere...

    Hillsea beast...

    Old Mei fixed his gaze at the people walking around. Suddenly, his heart jolted. Perhaps there were still other methods to do this! Since those people could make use of the red spheres, perhaps, the same applied to him?

    Shua!

    Old Mei¡¯s eyes lit up. Indeed, the red spheres!

    He could obtain the red spheres by trading using hillsea beasts! For others, they would have to hunt for the beasts painstakingly. For him, though, this was not necessary. With a single plum blossom imprint, he could transform a hillsea beast into his pet. However... the w of that was the fact that he could only have a single pet under his control at any given time.

    Therefore, he could only use one hillsea beast every time he moved. Now, though, things would be different. Perhaps he could kill his own pet before using it to trade for the red sphere? Yes, this was feasible! The more Old Mei thought of it, the more he found this n feasible.

    Damn it. Since you guys can use those red spheres, then let uspete and see who will have more red spheres!

    At this, Old Mei calmed down. Suddenly, he felt like those red spheres were not the product of someone scheming against him. On the contrary, those red spheres were helpful for him. He would be able to use those as his own weapons! Finishing his thoughts, Old Mei acted immediately. Soon, he summoned another hillsea beast nearby.

    Pu!

    With his own hands, he killed his new pet. The hillsea beast merely gazed at Old Mei with an odd expression, evidently not understanding the reason this person who seemed to be mentally linked to it was killing it.

    Old Mei couldn¡¯t even be bothered with the beast¡¯s thoughts. "Hmph." Despite the fact that this imprint¡¯s original function was to summon a pet, as far as he was concerned, these beasts were mere livestock.

    ng!

    He reached the vendor with his hillsea beast.

    "I need production," Old Mei stated with a deep voice.

    "Sure," Chen Feng replied in a well-practiced manner. Next, he raised his head, and he was instantly dumbfounded. Old... Old Mei? Chen Feng nearly ended up tossing a red sphere at him. What in the world? Why is this guy here? Oh, hold on. Since my appearance has already been changed, he shouldn¡¯t have recognized me. Eh, hold on... he wants me to produce the gene reagent?

    Chen Feng was somewhat stupefied.

    If he recalled correctly, hadn¡¯t these red spheres appeared to only make Old Mei¡¯s life difficult? Why in the world was this guying here to trade as well? Chen Feng felt like some changes had urred to his n.

    "Oh... you want me to produce?" Chen Feng asked cautiously.

    "Yes," Old Mei stated impatiently. "Faster. I¡¯m in a rush."

    Chen Feng was not bothered with saying anything unnecessary. "All right." Soon, he finished producing for Old Mei before handing over a red sphere. With an amazed gaze, Old Mei studied the red sphere in his hand before leaving. As for Chen Feng, he was still somewhat stupefied.

    Mhm... what is going on with this guy?

    Chen Feng wasn¡¯t exactly worried about increasing Old Mei¡¯s strength with those red spheres. For every red sphere he sold, he obtained one for himself as well. Moreover, he had also orded a "special treatment" to Old Mei by slightly altering the measurements in his form when producing that reagent.

    Well, it wasn¡¯t that big of an alteration anyway. The only difference was Old Mei¡¯s red sphere being somewhat weaker than a normal red sphere... Mhm, around 20% weaker. At a nce, one wouldn¡¯t notice it. Even if he was found out, he could still im that the hillsea beast used had been weak anyway.

    Chen Feng sunk into contemtion. "Wu... what is that guy nning to do?" Subsequently, after only half an hour, Old Mei was back with yet another hillsea beast. And next, after another half an hour, he was back with another hillsea beast. Old Mei kept returning. At times, he would return after one hour. At times, he would return after only 10 minutes. While the rest were still in the midst of traveling, Old Mei was already returning with his hillsea beast. His speed was truly astonishing.

    One time...

    Two times...

    Old Mei kept trading for the red spheres without stop. As for Chen Feng, his expression became even weirder.

    "Could it be..."

    He had a vague guess as to what Old Mei was trying to do. In short, Old Mei was trying to trade for a huge pile of red spheres and use brute force toplete his n? Moreover, the red spheres would be sourced from Chen Feng? This...

    Chen Feng did not know if he shouldugh or cry at this. Indeed, Old Mei was very intelligent.

    The method Old Mei was using to obtain hillsea beasts was indeed astonishing. Based on Chen Feng¡¯s guesses, this might be some pet-taming ability. With this, Old Mei was able to profit greatly. In a short few hours, he had obtained more than 10 red spheres. Apart from Old Mei, who else could do this? Without a doubt, among everyone here at Othershore Mountain, apart from Chen Feng, the one whose strength had increased the most presently was Old Mei.

    However, Old Mei seemed to have neglected something. This so-called excellent producer here was precisely Chen Feng. Each time Old Mei obtained a single red sphere, Chen Feng also obtained one, one more powerful. As the amount increased and time passed... Even Chen Feng felt somewhat embarrassed as he continued this scam.

    Is this proper? After all, Old Mei is elderly. To scam an elderly this way...

    In a well-practiced manner, Chen Feng gave Old Mei another red sphere. "I await your next visit." With a kind gaze, he watched on as Old Mei left, his inner heartmenting endlessly.

    Sigh, what a kind old man.

 Chapter 451: Mutated God Punisher? Lies!

    Chapter 451: Mutated God Punisher? Lies!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Othershore Mountain.

    Chen Feng was still putting great effort toward gene productions. Although Old Mei¡¯s appearance had somewhat surprised him, it did not hinder him continuing toplete his gene reagent. Only one final step was left inpleting his God Punisher gene.

    Shua! Shua!

    His luck value was dropping crazily. This was the single luck value usage of Chen Feng¡¯s with the highest quality-to-price ratio. In the illusory world, light swirled around. Presently, Chen Feng was improving the form, trying his best to make this form better, fulfill the requirement of mutating the form, and once again create an ability surpassing this era.

    God Punisher... how powerful will the improved you be?

    Chen Feng was filled with anticipation.

    Shua!

    After 500 luck value was consumed, the improvement waspleted. Next, it was time for the actual production. Once again, his luck value dropped. After all, this was also the first time Chen Feng had produced something at this level. As such, the sess rate wasn¡¯t perfect enough, and Chen Feng had to rely on his luck value. Fortunately, the other aspects of production did not pose much trouble.

    After a long time.

    Hum¡ª

    The familiar radiance started swirling around, signifying thepletion of his production.

    "Done!"

    The agitated Chen Feng stared at the newly produced gene reagent. Instantly, he nked.

    This ability...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng asked Spirit, "Spirit, what was the original ability of God Punisher?"

    Spirit repeated the ability of God Punisher honestly. "God Punisher: Unleash all the different abilities unleashed before, once. Consumption: All energy. Cooldown: One day."

    Chen Feng nodded in a seemingly calm manner. "Mhm." Suddenly, he pointed at the screen indignantly. "In that case, what is the meaning of this newly produced thing here?"

    The gene fusion reagent had indeed mutated. This was what Chen Feng had been anticipating. However, the direction of the mutation was something he had never expected...

    ---

    God Punisher: Unleash all abilities used previously.

    Consumption: All energy.

    Limitation: One time.

    ----

    This was thetest God Punisher he had produced. No cooldown, no limitation. The original God Punisher unleashed the different abilities used by the user, while this God Punisher unleashed all abilities used by the user. In other words, even for the same ability, all of them would be released instead of selecting one among the various times that ability had been used previously.

    The ten million Wind des released previously? They would all be released.

    The tens of Nethergaze activations? They would all be released as well.

    He only needed to activate God Punisher and all these abilities would be unleashed. Without a doubt, the present God Punisher was extremely powerful. It would unleash all abilities the user had used since birth, regardless of whether those were repeat abilities or not. The might of such an attack was astonishingly dreadful.

    Without a doubt, this thing possessed the might to destroy the heavens and Earth. Chen Feng was sure that if this ability was activated, even peak A-ss warriors would be killed. This was an amazingly powerful ability in the truest sense.

    However... the limitation...

    As Chen Feng looked at it, his heart chilled. Different from the previous God Punisher that could be used once per day, this thing here could only be used once. In other words, after using it once, this ability would be useless moving forward. In one lifetime, this ability could only be used once. Wasn¡¯t this a scam? Chen Feng was furious.

    After a long time of painstaking preparation coupled with form improvement, it had mutated into something like this? If he had known this, he wouldn¡¯t have bothered mutating it. What a scam!

    "Spirit," Chen Feng said.

    Spirit: "..."

    It was rather rare to see Spirit speechless. For something like this to have happened, it was truly unexpected.

    Chen Feng sighed. "Why did this happen?"

    Spirit analyzed for a bit before requesting authorization. "I need 10 luck value to figure it out."

    "Take it." Chen Feng had to figure out the reason for this. If all young hillsea beasts would have such result after mutation, Chen Feng would rather stick with the original version. It was totally pointless to use this mutated version.

    "All right." Spirit started her analysis speedily. "Done." Spirit checked the data before continuing, "After testing, I found out that the genes of hillsea beasts are very unique. Therefore, there are numerous possibilities when they mutate instead of only one single possibility. The reason for this being our final product is due to the young hillsea beast you used only being able to mutate in this direction."

    This was actually a good piece of news. Chen Feng heaved a sigh of relief. All would be good if not all mutations would be the same. He could still try mutating them for better results. Naturally, the troublesome thing was the fact that he would require more than one young hillsea beast now.

    "There are a lot of different directions a gene mutation can take. Luck value will be able to help you eliminate all previously appeared mutations in your production. However, for unknown mutations... you have to make a choice manually," Spirit reminded Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng shrugged. "Can¡¯t you make the selection for me?"

    Spirit pondered. "Theoretically, it¡¯s possible. I can directly list out the few possibilities for the future mutations, the direction of the mutation, the source of the hillsea beast required... I can even cause some idents to make the required beast appear before you, enabling you to obtain it easily. However..."

    Before Spirit could even finish her exnation, Chen Feng was already rolling his eyes.

    He did not even need to guess to know the reason. "Insufficient luck value, right?"

    "Yes. A huge amount of consumption is required to do something like that. It is not something aplishable by the present you," Spirit answered honestly.

    Chen Feng sighed. What could he say to that?

    He nced at the 400 luck value he had and his heart ached. Earlier, a grand total of 500 luck value had been consumed. Hold on, if so...

    Spirit spoke honestly. "No. Even if the direction of the mutation is considered a failure, all the verification, analysis, and improvements before the actual production have alreadypleted. During our next production, no luck value will be required. I can directly direct it in this direction."

    Chen Feng was relieved. "That¡¯s good, then." If everything needed to be restarted, he would have to give up.

    "What you need now are hillsea beast corpses," Spirit reminded him. "If you want the original God Punisher ability, you will only require a young hillsea beast. However, if you want a powerful version of God Punisher... you might require a huge number of young hillsea beasts." Spiritpleted her exnations with a shake of her head.

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression darkened. Huge number of young hillsea beasts...

    Even this single young hillsea beast he had was something he had obtained due to the others not wanting it. Where was he supposed to look for young hillsea beasts, let alone a huge amount of them? Chen Feng stared at the sky. Even the sky above Othershore Mountain was already shrouded in darkness. His remaining time was truly quite short.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "One day." He would use one day to try it out. If he failed to obtain a huge number of young hillsea beasts, he would directly give up on mutating it. Only if it was possible would he try mutating it. However, regardless of how many attempts he tried, he would ensure that he would have an additional young hillsea beast left behind. With this, even if his mutations failed, he could still choose to produce a regr God Punisher with the additional young hillsea beast. This would serve as his failsafe.

    If so, let the countdown begin! Chen Feng checked the time and started thinking of methods to obtain young hillsea beasts.

    "Dear all, 5-star secret arts aren¡¯t really of any use, right?" The smiling Chen Feng was looking at the gic warriors here to trade for the red spheres. "If you guys have any dead young hillsea beasts, you guys cane and trade for a red sphere. These things aren¡¯t really of much use to me anyway. I might as well trade them for something useful."

    A gic warrior shook his head. "How is it that easy? Even now, not many people have actuallypleted the mission."

    "That¡¯s not for sure." Chen Feng constantly maintained that smile on his face. Even if the one he was talking to was someone weak, Chen Feng would still advertise his offer to that person without bias. The one-day deadline passed rather quickly. Unfortunately, Chen Feng had only obtained one dead young hillsea beast so far. Even this single beast had been obtained after offering a high price of two red spheres as a trade.

    Since the beast had only recently been killed, Chen Feng had directly extracted its blood essence before preserving it and had been waiting for more. However, he did not obtain any more. With so many gic warriors and squads here, only one had been obtained after one whole day. Moreover, this was the foot of Othershore Mountain. Anyone leaving would have to leave this ce. Despite that, only one?

    Apart from Old Mei who was carrying adult hillsea beasts here without stop, there were actually not many people conducting trades here. It seemed like these people here for the mission were all stuck as well.

    Chen Feng sighed. Well, seems like I have no hope ofpleting the mutation, then.

    Chen Feng checked the time. "There¡¯s not much time left." He knew that if he could stay here for half a month or so, he would be able to deal with everything he wanted to. However, he did not have the luxury of time. For this "Othershore Mountain" incident, he was, after all, a mere passerby.

    If he stayed here among these A-ss warriors with his B-ss strength, a moment carelessness was all it would take for him to lose his life. Therefore, he dared not actually go and hunt for those hillsea beasts. The only thing he could do was conduct trades here with the identity of an observer. However... he ultimately failed to obtain what he wanted most.

    Chen Feng looked at the remaining 400 luck value he had. "Should I use luck value?" After hesitating, he shook his head. He did not have much luck value remaining, and the Star City battle would be starting soon. As such, he had to preserve sufficient luck value.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Well, seems like I have to give up on mutating it then. Spirit, let¡¯s just prepare for gene production," Chen Feng stated.

    "All right."

    Spirit finished up the preparations. Next, Chen Feng took out the blood essence, but just as he was about to start his production, suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in the distance. That person was carrying a hillsea beast anding toward him.

    "I want to trade this for a gene reagent."

    ***

    At the same time, at a certain location in Othershore Mountain, Old Mei was umting strength without stop as well.

    Interestingly, if this entire incident were considered a game, it could be said that while everyone else was painstakingly killing monsters for points, Old Mei was umting points using a cheat-like method, obtaining a huge number of points to exchange for hillsea gene reagents. He was simply akin to a bug in a game. Within a single day, he had already gathered a huge number of red spheres.

    Old Mei was overwhelmed by emotions. "Now I can make my move." He believed that this time, nobody would be able to stop him. Next, Old Mei set off with surging confidence.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    This seemingly kindly elderly transformed into a bomb demon, spamming fatal elements, red spheres, and hillsea beasts without stop, seemingly creating a brand new world for himself.

    Hu¡ª

    The cold breeze swept past the chaotic battleground while the injured enemies all transformed into particles before dissipating.

    Old Mei calcted his fusion degree silently. Sixty-two percent done! This Othershore Mountain was a rather huge ce. As such, Old Mei¡¯s actions here went unnoticed by the others. Silently, he rested before setting off toward his next target. Those who were rtively weaker had long been eliminated by him. Now, those left here were mid-tier A ss at the very least, each of them having a minimum amount of one red sphere per person. Therefore, Old Mei was extremely cautious whenever he decided to make a move. As an example of what he did:

    Bang! Bang!

    Two red spheres were tossed out simultaneously, shocking that person into a hasty retreat. It wasn¡¯t particrly hard to dodge the red spheres. However, as the explosion¡¯s radius was too huge, when two red spheres were used together, even if he could avoid dying, he would still suffer a serious injury. Naturally, he also failed to notice that his stone shield had been sted apart...

    Taking out his red sphere, he scanned around cautiously. "Who?"

    Howl¡ª

    With a howl, a hillsea beast appeared, attracting this person¡¯s attention, and right at this instant, a cold breeze drifted over from a different direction. Gently andfortably, without realizing it, he was already transforming into countless particles.

    "What is this¡ª"

    Before even finishing his words, he was already dead.

    Old Mei was overjoyed. "Nice." Indeed, this red sphere was indeed astonishingly scary.

    They were especially pronounced when used together with hillsea beasts and the fatal elements, this was simply an omnipotentbination. As he thought of this, his heart was filled with gratefulness toward that excellent producer. Moving forward, this Othershore Mountain would be his home ground.

    Old Mei had recovered his confidence. "Let¡¯s go."

    Bang! Bang!

    Bombarding everything in his way, he opened a path forcefully. As for the final fusion of his ability, it increased without stop as well, going from 63%... to 74%... to 80%... and so on. The speed of the progress was so fast that it caused him endless joy. Interestingly, he even discovered that someone had actually sessfully captured a young hillsea beast.

    Old Mei was shocked. "Someone actually captured one for real?" As he observed them from distance, he noted that this was precisely a full squad with four A-ss gic warriors and two B-ss gic warriors. An unconscious young hillsea beast was being carried by them.

    "Haha, we are most certainly the first group to do this."

    "That red sphere is rather useful indeed."

    "Don¡¯t be careless. Someone might be hiding in the dark, waiting to ambush us."

    "What are we afraid of? Hehe. With the strength of our squad, anyone whoes will just be courting death."

    They walked while talking.

    Hehe.

    Old Mei watched on coldly. This was a mission issued by him. Despite the generous rewards, the rewards were, after all, things he had gathered painstakingly. As such, he had never intended to give them out for real. He had only allowed these people to appear here so they could be cannon fodder.

    Thinking ofpleting my mission? How naive.

    Looking at the red sphere in his hand before looking at the number of enemies, Old Mei muttered, "You guys, then."

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    The familiar sounds of explosions echoed.

    "Enemy attack!"

    Before that screeching shout could even finish, along with the hillsea beast¡¯s howl and the whistling cold breeze, the world seemed to recover its peace as countless shiny particles drifted around. Surprising Old Mei, amid the cold breeze, there was actually a survivor.

    A brutal roar resounded. "Scram!" Next, thete-stage A-ss warrior who was also the leader of the squad, the tall and sturdy guy, sted the hillsea beast away with a single punch. His ice-cold gaze skipped past countless obstacles beforending on Old Mei.

    His gaze was sharp as he said, "You are the one ying tricks."

    Old Mei¡¯s heart shuddered. "I have actually been discovered." This gic squad was actually so terrifying.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around, and instantly, that burly person streaked toward Old Mei.

    Old Mei inhaled deeply. I can¡¯t afford to hold back anymore. He knew that he would not be this person¡¯s match if he faced this person head-on. As such, there was only one single thing he could do.

    Old Mei clenched his teeth. "You forced me."

    Xiu!

    Countless red spheres bloomed midair. The pupils of that burly guy charging toward Old Mei shrunk. Midair, an rmed expression appeared on his face. "How did you get so many of them..."

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    After a series of violent explosions, the world recovered its peace.

    Old Mei¡¯s gazended on the falling corpse midair with a regretful expression. "What a good fusion material he would have been. It¡¯s a pity that he was killed by the explosion..."

    Shortly after, his gazended on the unconscious young hillsea beast. This fellow had probably been injected with some strong sleeping drugs for it to remain unconscious even now.

    Old Mei¡¯s eyes lit up. "A young hillsea beast, one that¡¯s alive..." This thing was truly useless to him. Even the rewards he had given the Gic Union when issuing the mission would be returned to him if nobody else was allowed toplete the mission. If so, what was the point of having this beast?

    But then, this beast was in huge demand by the others here, especially that gene producer!

    Old Meiughed. "He seems to be thinking of getting the 5-star secret arts?" He had witnessed with his own eyes the power of the red spheres. If he could trade this hillsea beast he had picked up for free for some red spheres, that would be eptable. As for the rewards... a 5-star secret art wasn¡¯t much for him. Moreover, it wasn¡¯t even a sure fact that the producer could even leave this ce alive in the end. After all... Old Mei¡¯s fusion degree had already reached 82%. A smile appeared on Old Mei¡¯s mouth.

 Chapter 453: Genetic Ability, Mutate!

    Chapter 453: Gic Ability, Mutate!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    After careful consideration, Old Mei decided to directly carry this young hillsea beast over to that excellent producer. What made him even happier was the fact that more and more people had seeminglypleted the mission, perhaps thanks to the red spheres. Some were returning with dead young hillsea beasts, while some were back with young hillsea beasts that were still alive. There were now more and more young hillsea beasts.

    Unfortunately, none of them would be able to leave this ce alive. Almost all of them would be weed by Old Mei at a certain unavoidable route before being bombarded to death, nourishing Old Mei¡¯s strength. Naturally, the smart Old Mei would deliver all the young hillsea beasts to the producer, trading them for the red spheres.

    Curiously, though, that producer¡¯s gaze when looking at him became stranger and stranger. From the initial astonishment, it had be a gaze of longing and then a burning gaze when looking at him. That gaze... Perhaps this guy was one of those who preferred the same sex... and preferred older individuals on top of that? At this thought, Old Mei shuddered. No, no! Old Meiforted himself that this producer was probably admiring his strength. Mhm... that had to be the case! Old Mei was able to trade all the young hillsea beasts he had obtained for red spheres without any hups.

    Thanks to this continuous trade, despite his numerous operations, his supply of red spheres was still abundant. Together with his hillsea beast pet that would get killed asionally, Old Mei did notck red spheres at all.

    Shua! Shua!

    Once again, Old Mei returned with another young hillsea beast. By now, the crowd there was already looking at Old Mei with an amazed yet numbed gaze.

    "He¡¯s back again."

    "Yeah, back with yet another young hillsea beast."

    "Previously, when he returned with young hillsea beasts without stop, I thought that he was merely lucky. Unexpectedly, this guy is actually able to keep bringing young hillsea beasts here without stop."

    "Maybe he has some tunneling-rted ability or something."

    "That¡¯s possible."

    "How many young hillsea beasts has he brought here thus far?"

    They sighed. They had been watching on as this Old Mei had returned with young hillsea beasts an uncountable number of times. Moreover, this guy hadn¡¯t carried the beasts out of this mountain at all. On the contrary, he carried all of them to the producer.

    "Here, another one," Old Mei stated calmly.

    Chen Feng looked at him with an amazed expression. "...Why are you sending yet another one here?"

    Old Mei assumed a regretful expression. "It¡¯s already dead. Each and every time, if I attack too lightly, the enemies survive my attack, yet when I attack too strongly, I identally kill the young hillsea beasts instead. Sigh."

    So that¡¯s the case. As the others heard this, they took joy in this seeming cmity. No wonder this guy had carried so many young hillsea beasts here instead of leaving. So he hadn¡¯tpleted the mission either? At this point, nobody was bothered with the 5-star secret arts anymore. Among those who had survived this long, which of them were bothered about some mere 5-star secret arts?

    "All right." Chen Fengpleted the trade in a well-practiced manner.

    "Mhm."

    After receiving the red sphere, Old Mei left. As for Chen Feng, he appeared rather gratified as he gazed at Old Mei¡¯s leaving figure. Another young hillsea beast obtained!

    "Spirit, does this young hillsea beast fulfill the requirement?"

    "Yes."

    Chen Feng was overjoyed. "Good. Let¡¯s continue, then." How many young hillsea beasts had he obtained now?

    He had never expected that just as he had been about to give up on this, Old Mei would be the one who carried one young hillsea beast after another to him. Moreover, each of the young hillsea beasts seemed to be stronger than the previous. Even though all the beasts were dead, Chen Feng was able to see that these beasts had all been freshly killed. This old chrysanthemum freak that had schemed against Chen Feng back then had actually transformed into Chen Feng¡¯s lucky star here at this Othershore Mountain. Of course, the premise for all this was him not knowing Chen Feng¡¯s real identity.

    "Mhm..."

    Chen Feng stared at the 10 gene reagents he had. All these were newly produced gene fusion reagents¡ªall of them were mutated gene reagents. Since the process of improving had been recorded by Spirit previously, not much luck value was required for him to produce these new mutated gene reagents. For each production, less than 10 luck value was required. Despite this, Chen Feng was still unable to control the mutation. This was because the type of mutation was not a matter of probability. Rather, it was determined by the type of genes contained within the young hillsea beasts he used.

    Therefore, this depended on fate. Naturally, Chen Feng could also choose to first use luck value to discern the type of genes within the young hillsea beasts. However, based on Spirit¡¯s calction, doing this would consume more of his luck value. Since the number of genes within a single hillsea beast was too high, 10 luck value would be required for each study.

    For a single production, only around three luck value would be required. Therefore, he had decided to directly produce all of them instead.

    ----

    Mutated God Punisher 1: Among the abilities the user has used before, choose the type with the highest damage and then release them all once.

    Consumption: All energy.

    Cooldown period: One day.

    ----

    This was a totally different version of this ability. The original God Punisher released one of each ability, yet for this version, a single ability would be chosen for the release. For example, a huge amount of Nethergazes would be released if this version of God Punisher was used instead. This was indeed a rather powerful mutation.

    In short, if the user had only used Nethergaze 10 times in his entire lifetime, this God Punisher would release 10 Nethergazes instantaneously, which would be equivalent to an amplification of 10 times the power. If the user had used it 100 times before? Or 1,000 times? This would be an extremely powerful ability equivalent to the eruption of one¡¯s strongest attack after being amplified.

    Naturally, the limitations were rather huge as well. For example, the user could only select a single ability that was the strongest of all. In Chen Feng¡¯s case, that would be Nethergaze. If he wanted to use God Punisher to release other abilities instead, it wouldn¡¯t happen. However, this would still serve as a formidable trump card. In a way, this version of God Punisher was even stronger than the regr version.

    ----

    God Punisher 2: Select all the healing abilities used previously and release them once.

    Consumption: All energy.

    Cooldown period: One day.

    ----

    ??

    All healing abilities? If so, repeated abilities were allowed? If so, this was totally a god-like healing ability. In the hands of an expert healer, this ability would simply be a bug-like existence. Unfortunately... it wasn¡¯t useful for Chen Feng. Despite that, Chen Feng had still kept this version. He believed that with this, his "The Strongest Gene" shop would once again have a legendary B-ss gene reagent for sale in the future. This version of God Punisher was so powerful it could even match those A-ss abilities.

    ----

    God Punisher 3: Select all the support abilities used previously and release them once.

    Consumption: All energy.

    Cooldown period: One day.

    ----

    All support abilities? Repeated abilities allowed again? Abilities such as Golden Steel Reincarnation or something like that? With this version of God Punisher, if it was used to unleash some stackable buff abilities, the target could even be buffed to the point he became undefeatable. This was much more useful than even viagra! Unfortunately, once again, this ability wasn¡¯t particrly useful for Chen Feng.

    As for the rest of the mutated God Punisher gene reagents, they were in simr situations as well. Despite being powerful, they were not suited for Chen Feng. These were indeed very powerful. However, after careful consideration, Chen Feng noted that if he decided to use them, he was better off using the regr God Punisher instead. This was because the regr God Punisher would suit Chen Feng more than these mutated versions.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Let¡¯s keep trying."

    Once again, Chen Feng and Spirit started gene production. After a long time, the production waspleted. At this point, Chen Feng was already numb toward sessful production. As such, he wasn¡¯t as overjoyed as earlier when he had first produced this God Punisher gene reagent. At the very least, with Spirit¡¯s help, Chen Feng was able to determine that the mutation direction of this young hillsea beast was not the same as the previous ones, that it would have an entirely different mutation.

    "Hopefully, this mutation will be usable."

    Chen Feng wasn¡¯t cing much hope in it. Based on his guesses, the mutations of the God Punisher gene reagent were onlyprised of some simple changes or minor improvements. Unfortunately, these changes weren¡¯t anything much, merely reaching a point where it would be wasteful to discard the reagents despite not being useful to him.

    Shua!

    Nonchntly, Chen Feng scanned the newly produced gene reagent. Instantly, he nked.

    Abruptly, his eyes widened. "This..."

 Chapter 454: Undefeated Old Mei!

    Chapter 454: Undefeated Old Mei!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    ----

    God Punisher: Select one of each different abilities the user has used previously and unleash them all. After each ability unleashed, the subsequent ability will be strengthened by 1%.

    Consumption: All energy.

    Cooldown period: One day.

    ----

    ??!

    One percent?!

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils shrunk. The mutation had seeded. Regardless of what ability it was, the subsequent ability would be buffed and would be stronger than its initial state. This was even better than the regr God Punisher! With this alone, Chen Feng was already satisfied. As for this 1%... Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. This 1% might seem little, even neglectable. However, the phrase "the subsequent ability will be strengthened by 1%" was a rather terrifying concept. In other words, the strength of the buff would be rted to the total amount of abilities unleashed.

    The first ability unleashed would have its regr power. The second ability would be strengthened by 1%, the third ability by 2%, and so on. For a regr person, this ability wouldn¡¯t be that useful. Generally, gic warriors only had a few main abilities. Even after those self-created abilities were taken into consideration, one might only have less than 20 abilities in total. Therefore, the final buff would be less than 20%. This wouldn¡¯t bring about too big an effect. But for Chen Feng...

    Chen Feng suddenly asked, "How many different abilities I have presently?"

    "Please wait a moment." After calcting, Spirit replied, "Presently, the history of your previously used abilities is 1,367 types of different abilities. However, you have a total of 16,000 different abilities in your grasp."

    Sixteen thousand abilities! Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted furiously. Even he himself was not aware that he had so many abilities avable to him. Myriad Illusions! This had to be the amount granted to him by his Myriad Illusions! The only reason he had used so few of them previously was due to some of them having such low trigger rates, with some of them even requiring luck value for activation. That was the reason he had never used them yet, as there were a huge amount of abilities with trigger rate of 0.001%.

    These abilities were those Chen Feng had never seen before. Naturally, if he truly wanted to use them, he would only require luck value to do it. What shocked Chen Feng was the fact that with this amount, if they were all unleashed with God Punisher... the mere thought of what would ensue nted fear in Chen Feng¡¯s heart. Could one even begin to imagine what 16,000 abilities signified?

    "These are mostly 1-star low-level abilities," Spirit exined.

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was burning. "I know." Such low-level abilities wouldn¡¯t cause any damage at all to his enemy. However, Chen Feng did not need them to be able to deal any damage anyway. The only thing he required was the ovepping 1% after unleashing these abilities. That alone would be sufficient. With 16,000 abilities, that would be equivalent to an amplification of 160 times. This also signified that the final ability unleashed by Chen Feng would be amplified 160 times! This would be a heaven-defying ability.

    Even imagining that scene alone caused Chen Feng to be overwhelmed with emotions. The present him was a mere B-ss warrior. A peak B-ss warrior would be tenfold stronger than him, while a peak A-ss warrior would be several hundredfold stronger than him. If he used this ability... he would be able to fight it out with even peak A-ss warriors!

    In other words, after fusing with this God Punisher, Chen Feng would possess a power equivalent to a single full-powered strike from a peak A-ss warrior. Moreover, this was only the might of the final unleashed ability. All the abilities he had unleashed before that would be amplified as well. Moreover, this was merely the base amplification.

    If his Nethergaze was chosen as the final ability to be unleashed, what would the result be? How strong was Nethergaze? What about the strength of the Nethergaze he used one whole day to activate back then at the Wild Saint family? How would this Nethergaze look like after undergoing an amplification of 160 times? Would it be able to insta-kill a peak A-ss warrior? Chen Feng was filled with anticipation.

    Naturally, the premise of all this was Chen Feng having used all 16,000 of his abilities at least once. For this, a huge amount of luck value would be required. However, it would be totally worth the consumption.

    Hu¡ª

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. Presently, his heart was burning. He wished for nothing more than to fuse with this ability immediately. At this, he nced at the initial hillsea beast blood essence he had kept as spare. He wondered if something even more powerful could be created from this. Once again, he started his gene production.

    Mhm... select all passion-rousing abilities before unleashing all of them? What is this? Is this particr hillsea beast horny or something? This is obviously... Hmm. I could probably sell this to Xie Zhongtongter.

    After finishing his preparations, Chen Feng started his fusion. He had been in B-ss for quite a while. Finally, he could truly fuse with his new gic ability.

    Hum¡ª

    Light swirled around, and a terrifying radiance bloomed.

    "Time to start my breakthrough!"

    ***

    At the same time, at a certain location in Othershore Mountain, Old Mei was also full of joy as he stared at his fusion degree that had reached 98%. After killing another enemy, finally, he reached 100%.

    "Finally, I seeded! Hahaha!"

    Old Mei was overjoyed. After 10 whole years of preparation, he had finally seeded.

    "Gic Union... Gene Production Association... Chen Feng... Cui Hua..." Old Mei started mumbling out one name after another that had caused him endless hate. "Soon, I will be back!"

    Bang!

    Two clumps of me ignited in Old Mei¡¯s eyes. The shape of the two clumps greatly resembled plum blossoms. This was the 6-star secret art Old Mei had taken 10 years to prepare by umting a huge supply of energy before sessfully fusing with that energy: Plum Blossom¡¯s Divine Eye, an extremely terrifying me.

    The requirements for obtaining this ability were extremely harsh. Six extremely rare genes were required for this, six extremely rare genes that Old Mei had exhausted all means avable to him to obtain. Even the final fusion required a huge amount of life force to sessfully refine this ability. Only after all this was that divine me able to bloom.

    Hu¡ª

    Old Mei raised his hand. A plum-blossom-shaped me hovered above his fingertips. No cooldown, no fixed shape, even the energy exhaustion was extremely low. This was an ability Old Mei could use as he wished, an ability he could release as he wished. Right at this instant, several people appeared distantly. That was an entire gic squad. Three mid-tier A-ss warriors and ate-stage A-ss warrior. Due to their high amount, when Old Mei had seen them previously, he had decided to avoid them noiselessly.

    When they saw Old Mei, they mere snorted as a response. "Scram!"

    They were able to discern that Old Mei was a mere early-tier A-ss warrior. However, they had no intention of killing him, since A-ss warriors generally possessed their own trump cards. As their true goal was young hillsea beasts, they were not interested in having any sort of conflict with him. However, Old Mei merely smiled at them.

    He raised his hand. "Hehe."

    Xiu!

    The delicate-looking me drifted toward the four of them.

    They raged. "You are courting death!" This guy was a mere early-tier A-ss, yet he dared to provoke them? Any single one of them would be sufficient to beat this guy up.

    "Kill him!" one of them stated impatiently.

    Bang!

    Light swirled around. As that person moved, a huge sword ray shed at the drifting me. However, when the sword ray touched the me, a terrifying gust of energy reverberated out of the point of collision.

    Bang!

    The sword ray shattered.

    Their expressions changed greatly. "What?"

    Hu¡ª

    The speed of the me abruptly increased.

    Bang!

    Instantly, the sword user was prated. On his body, a huge hole appeared. Around the hole was a halo of me spreading without stop. The me spread and the others watched this terrifying sight as a single instant was required for that person to bepletely burnt clean. One could not neglect the fact that this 6-star secret art of Old Mei¡¯s was an ability that had been formed after fusing with the fatal elements.

    "How is that possible?"

    The rest of them were horrified, and they started fleeing. s, it was already toote.

    Xiu! Xiu!

    Multiple clumps of me streaked out followed by numerous howls filled with grief. Only after a long time did the clumps of me vanish. Old Mei looked over calmly. Where the squad had once stood, nothing was left, as everything had already been burnt clean. Not a single trace of them remained, not even dust.

    Old Mei yed with the me in his hand with a faint smile on his face. "I have been waiting for this moment for way too long." From today onward, he would be one of the strongest. As for those surpassing A ss...

    Hehe.

    When he reached peak A ss, he would most certainly be able to kill even those surpassing A ss. He believed that this wouldn¡¯t be too far away in the future. As for now... His gaze became cold. Everyone here, those who were still thinking ofpleting his mission, he would not allow a single one of them to survive. After all, those secret arts he had issued as rewards were also things he had prepared for himself.

    Shua!

    His figure vanished amid the darkness. For the first time, he traveled amid thisnd in an absolutely unrestrained manner, without relying on any hillsea beasts or fatal elements. As for the aura surrounding his body, it was now even more terrifying. This ce had now transformed into his home ground.

    Othershore Mountain.

    A red shimmer appeared in the dusky sky.

    "What¡¯s that?"

    "Some unique ability?"

    "Wow, it can even cause a natural phenomenon."

    "Or maybe, instead of being a natural phenomenon, it¡¯s simply a red light shining upon the sky."

    "Who would be so free they could shine some red light on the sky? What a waste of energy."

    Everyone was curious. Right at this instant, a figure could be seen escaping in a sorry manner from the direction of the red light. Fear was stered all over his face, his entire body was stained with blood, and one of his arms was missing.

    "Be careful."

    Instantly, the rest increased their vignce. There had been way too many incidents where someone pretended to be seriously injured before ambushing the onlookers. However, this seriously injured person here was an exception to those incidents.

    "Run! Fast!" that person screeched in horror. "That red light... He has broken through... He¡¯s ughtering..."

    Finishing his words, he continued escaping in the direction of the foot of the mountain, leaving the squad there looking at each other. Red light? Breakthrough? ughter? Who was it? Staring at the distant red light, they were confused.

    "Perhaps something has truly happened?"

    "It might be a trick. Hehe. First, he will flee behind us. By the time someone appears from the other direction, he will appear behind us, attacking us from two directions. When that happens, perhaps we won¡¯t even know how it happened before dying."

    "..."

    "We can¡¯t retreat. We must continue advancing."

    "The young hillsea beast is already nearby. We can¡¯t let the others get it."

    "True."

    They decided to continue their advance. However, not even three minutester, their steps halted, because at this moment, they saw a familiar figure. The guy called Old Mei could be seen taking a stroll in a rxed manner. Here at this danger-filled Othershore Mountain, he was strolling without any defenses in an absolutely unrestrained manner. Slowly, he walked forth, until he noticed them.

    Hu¡ª

    A little clump of me drifted forth, heading toward them.

    "He¡¯s actually attacking us with something like this?"

    One of themughed before taking a wide stride forward. At this time, his team member suddenly recalled the earlier scene where a person had been escaping in horror. Instantly, his expression changed slightly. Without hesitation, he took out a red sphere.

    Xiu!

    The red sphere was tossed toward Old Mei. rming them, when the red sphere was midair, it shed with that weak-looking me before being forcefully eliminated then and there. This red sphere containing a huge amount of energy was actually ineffective against this me!

    "How is that possible?"

    At this sight, all of their expressions changed. What joke was that? That red sphere was equivalent to the full-powered attack of an A-ss warrior. Just like that, it was gone? As for the me, it was still slowly drifting through the air.

    "Run!" the captain ordered without any hesitation. As for the person who had stepped forth rashly earlier, it was already toote for him to escape. First, the me touched his arm. Instantly, the terrifying me started burning. He was not able to defend against it or destroy the me. The me continued spreading without stop...

    Pu!

    Seeing this, the captain chopped his arm off without hesitation.

    "Go!" he yelled.

    Shua!

    Apanied by a terrifying energy shockwave, the speed of the entire squad increased abruptly as they started leaving speedily. Only now did they understand how the earlier person had lost his arm. This me... All of them were ashen faced.

    Flee! Flee! Flee!

    After an unknown period of time, they finally escaped the range of that clump of me.

    Old Mei was rather surprised. "They actually possess a speed-enhancing ability?" Shortly after, though, he shook his head. It didn¡¯t matter. Ultimately, all these people were mere cannon fodder, and it was only a matter of time before they died by his hands. However, this encounter with them had reminded Old Mei of something. "I can¡¯t allow you guys to leave," Old Mei muttered.

    Hum¡ª

    A plum blossom bloomed in his hand.

    Xiu!

    This plum blossom formed by a unique me drifted through the air, heading toward the foot of the mountain. That was precisely the exit of Othershore Mountain. This would serve as the prelude to Old Mei¡¯s legend, right here at this Othershore Mountain.

    "I heard that a murdering maniac appeared over there."

    "Who is it?"

    "That Old Mei guy that was returning with hillsea beasts nonstop earlier."

    "What in the world? Has he gone crazy?"

    "I have no idea."

    "I heard that his strength is incredibly terrifying. Even severalte-stage A-ss warriors weren¡¯t his match. With a single sh, three of them were killed immediately, and one was seriously injured. Only one was able to escape, and with great difficulty at that."

    "Is this for real?"

    Everyone that heard this was shocked. Initially, they did not believe in this rumor. However, when mishaps started befalling the people there without stop, finally, they trusted this rumor. After all, they were still A-ss experts. Therefore, a lot of them had numerous escape trump cards that resulted in even Old Mei failing to kill them. As such, during his ughter, there were numerous escaped victims.

    Thereupon, after one escapee after another, everyone there found out about Old Mei¡¯s existence. Now, they all knew that at the depths of this Othershore Mountain, there was a terrifying murdering devil. Some of them were not reconciled to this and were thinking of ambushing Old Mei.

    "What¡¯s his strength?"

    "My guess is he¡¯s a peak A-ss warrior," one of the escapees stated.

    As he said this, the rest nced at him. Mhm, he was ate-stage A-ss warrior. Indeed, he could be considered an expert here at this Othershore Mountain. However, with him alone, he probably wouldn¡¯t even survive a single sh against Old Mei.

    "Maybe, we can go together?" someone suggested.

    The other person smiled bitterly. "The attacking range of that me of his is extremely huge. For him, a single opponent or a group of opponents¡ªthey¡¯re the same thing."

    At this, the rest sunk into silence. Even grouping together wouldn¡¯t work? Suddenly, someone stated, "There must be some limitations for such a terrifying ability, right? Perhaps it can only be used once per day or it possesses a long cooldown? Something like that?"

    However, toward this, the rest still maintained their silence. What limitations? Up until now, that guy had never stopped ughtering. The me that guy used was seemingly without end. As for his energy, it seemed boundless as well. That seemingly eternal me had never stopped from the start until now. One of them looked at the sky. "That red light seems to be the result of that me?"

    As the rest looked in the same direction, their hearts chilled. Why was this happening? Why was that Old Mei so terrifying? Some of them decided to give up on this mission. "Let¡¯s leave. His goal is probably the young hillsea beasts. We can just leave this ce."

    "Are you guys resigned to this?"

    "Even if we are not resigned, what can we do?"

    "Hmph. I will go back and call my senior apprentice brother over. He¡¯s a peak A-ss warrior as well. I want to see, what¡¯s the point of him killing us with his identity as a peak A-ss warrior?"

    Another guy agreed. "My master is a peak A-ss warrior as well."

    Apart from a few lone rangers, a lot of people here were in fact people with rather formidable backers.

    Hence, a lot of them decided to call on some peak A-ss warriors to reinforce them. At this thought, they started heading toward the foot of the mountain. Regardless of whether there were any reinforcements, it was still better for them to leave first. To do that, they would have to leave through the foot of the mountain. However, when they reached the foot of the mountain, they were all rmed to find that at the exit of Othershore Mountain, a clump of familiar me was hovering, sealing the exit.

    "That is..."

    "Damn it, it¡¯s that me again!"

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah, is that bastard thinking of killing all of us?"

    They were all terrified. Only now did they start feeling true terror. Their exit had been sealed, and thus, they no longer had any way to retreat.

    They started gnashing their teeth. "What are you guys afraid of? Which of us is without a trump card? At most, we will just die together with that guy." At this time, a lot of people that had been staying at the foot of the mountain all along were still unaware of what was going on. After finally figuring out what was happening, they were all rmed. Only now did they notice what had happened here. Suddenly, someone remembered the producer from earlier. "Where¡¯s that excellent producer?"

 Chapter 456: Heâ€™s a Lucky Star

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    A different person pointed at a boulder nearby. "There." A board was hung on the boulder.

    "In the process of recovering spiritual energy. Kindly do not disturb. Around 30 minutes will be required for this. After recovery, I will be able to continue producing gene reagents for everyone. Thanks."

    That person: "..."

    Recovery? As he thought of the nonstop gene production earlier, it was likely that this producer truly needed rest. As such, he decided to not disturb the producer¡¯s rest. However, more and more of them were looking at the depths of the Othershore Mountain in worry.

    "Let¡¯s try and see if we can destroy that me."

    "Yeah, that old geezer is not here anyway. He¡¯s only using this me to seal the exit. While he¡¯s not around, we might as well try and see if there¡¯s anything capable of destroying the me," someone stated.

    The eyes of the others lit up. "Good thinking."

    Thereupon, various different abilities were unleashed. Ice, gale, lightning, soil, and so on. Various abilities and various methods were tried, yet none worked. With their own eyes, they witnessed the evaporation of the ice, the destruction of the soil, and so on. Anything they used, as long as that thing neared the me, the thing would be destroyed. They had no method of dealing with this.

    They started to despair. "How did things turn out this way?"

    As they looked at the sky, they noted that the red light was seemingly nearing them. Furthermore, the number of people that had escaped toward here was increasing without stop, all of them gathering here at the foot of the mountain.

    Ten...

    Twenty...

    This ce had seemingly transformed into a refugee camp.

    "That old geezer is going to arrive soon."

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, am I truly going to die here?"

    They were all horrified. "No, no way!" After all, they were all A-ss warriors, existences capable of supporting Heaven and Earth. Now, though, with the appearance of this terrifying guy here, all their confidence had been erased. That faint me was capable of igniting fear in the depths of their hearts. How scary a person was this Old Mei, exactly?

    "How is it possible for such an ability to even exist?"

    "Yeah."

    "There must be a weakness to this me; we merely have yet to find it."

    They started calming down. "Look, the energy consumption is low, and there is no cooldown. Furthermore, it has such a terrifying power and is seemingly omnipotent. How is it possible for such a me to actually exist?"

    They were all hoping that they could actually discover the weakness of this me. However... was that truly possible?

    Suddenly, one of them stated, "I have heard of this me before."

    With this, everyone¡¯s attention was roused.

    "You have heard of it?"

    "What¡¯s the weakness of this me?" they asked hastily.

    That person stated with a gloomy voice, "The only weakness of this me is the extreme difficulty of actually forming the me. To actually form it, six extremely rare and weak abilities must be cultivated to the extreme. Next, the user needs to employ some unique methods to refine and fuse with them and refine them to the pinnacle. Only then does it be possible for this me to be formed."

    As the others heard this, they lost all hope. This was the only weakness? But it was useless, since this me had already been formed here!

    "Don¡¯t worry. There¡¯s so many of us here, what are we afraid of?"

    "Yeah! After all, we are still the top existences among gic warriors, right?"

    "Let¡¯s make a move together. I refuse to believe that he will be able to kill all of us. Which of us is without a trump card? Damn it, I refuse to believe this!"

    A burly guy stated with a vicious expression, "After killing him, this me will disappear."

    "True, this might work!"

    "Since we can¡¯t eliminate the me, we shall eliminate the user!"

    One of them sneered. "Well, well, my ability is the most apt when ites to killing someone."

    "Let¡¯s prepare ourselves, then."

    They started silently making their final preparations. They were sure that there would most certainly be a final battle here. After their escape route had been sealed, their battle intent had instead been roused. After all, they were people who had witnessed numerous life and death situations. As such, what was there to be afraid of? The only thing they could do was fight it out.

    Currently, people were still escaping to here from the inner region of the Othershore Mountain without stop. Some of them had escaped without any hesitation the moment they had caught a glimpse of Old Mei from far away. These people were all very intelligent. However, despite their escape, they were all stuck here at the foot of the mountain. With that, the number of people gathered here increased, each of them preparing themselves for the final battle.

    "It¡¯s nearly time..."

    "Yeah."

    "The preparations should bepleted by now. He will be here soon as well."

    All of them stared ahead. They were still not able to see Old Mei. However, those who escaped here reported Old Mei¡¯s position. Each time a new update was received, Old Mei was closer to them. From thetest update they had received, Old Mei was now around 3 kilometers away from them. Suddenly, the dark sky brightened. In the pitch ck sky, an enchanting expanse of red appeared.

    Their mood sank. "He¡¯s here."

    The me with the shape of a plum blossom soared up to the sky

    From the canyon, a frail-looking figure appeared slowly, attracting the attention of countless people. Was this that murderous demon?

    Shua! Shua!

    All of them took out their weapons. Instantly, the terrifying power belonging to numerous A-ss warriors bloomed. At the same instant, all the gic warriors present unleashed their auras toward Old Mei. They were actually nning to use thisbined oppressive aura of theirs to pressure Old Mei to death. The so-called oppressive pressure was something that emanated from the aura of an expert. Furthermore, to a certain degree, this pressure was capable of dealing a certain amount of damage as well.

    Generally, the might of such pressure would be greatly discounted when used against an opponent of a simr level, to the extent it might as well be ineffective. However, if a huge amount of people joined hands to unleash this pressure... when all the A-ss warriors herebined their pressure together...

    Bang!

    The resulting pressure even surpassed the pressure of a peak A-ss warrior!

    Bang!

    The pressure surged forth crazily. Just as he arrived, Old Mei was faced with abined attack from everyone present. So what if his me was so powerful? This time, they were all targeting his body. As long as he himself was injured or dead, that me would most certainly disappear. This was themon understanding they had reached. The tsunami-like pressure swarmed toward Old Mei. All their eyes were filled with anticipation. Suddenly, in front of Old Mei, a plum blossom bloomed. Silently, that plum blossom formed of me bloomed with a faint radiance that appeared so very resplendent.

    Hum¡ª

    Abruptly, the tsunami of pressure halted. All the pressure vanished suddenly upon touching the plum blossom.

    Their expressions changed greatly. "How is this possible?" They had been prepared for the worst. However, they had been expecting that Old Mei would sustain some light injuries even if he was able to survive their pressure. Beyond their expectations... that plum blossom had actually eliminated all their pressure. This scene was too astonishing. On their faces were unbelieving expressions.

    A smile appeared on Old Mei¡¯s face. "What a warm wee." With a me hovering above his hand, he stated, "Is this how you guys wee my arrival?"

    Their hearts chilled. This Old Mei was much more terrifying than they had expected. It would seem like they would have to put their lives on the line and fight this out. They clenched their teeth at this thought. Here at the foot of this Othershore Mountain, several tens of experts were gathered facing the lonesome Old Mei. Surprisingly, they were instead the disadvantaged party, being forced back with every exchange to the point where they could no longer retreat.

    Just as they were about to erupt with everything, suddenly, Old Mei¡¯s gaze skipped past them beforending on a certain corner. There, the "do not disturb" sign was already gone, and the boulder was being noiselessly moved away. That excellent producer seemed to have finished his spiritual energy recovery.

    Old Mei wore a faint smile as he saw the producer. "How can I forget my lucky star?" After all, those red spheres had helped him so much. However, when he finally saw that excellent producer, faintly, he had a bad premonition. Such a feeling...

    Hum¡ª

    In both his eyes, the plum blossom me flickered, emitting a radiance that caused everyone present endless fear. When he got a clear look at the producer with the aid of his plum blossoms, endless killing intent surged out of his eyes. It¡¯s actually him! He had never expected that the so-called excellent producer was actually that person!

    A voice filled with killing intent resounded throughout the area, soaring toward the clouds. "Chen Feng!"

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "What¡¯s going on?" Chen Feng muttered. He had only finished his fusion and was about to get a short rest when he had heard shouting outside that resembled someone having an orgasm or something. Come on, I¡¯m only taking a small break... Chen Feng stood up helplessly. "Coming,ing."

    Surprising him, just as he stood up, an astonishing sight weed him. Mhm... It was the sight of Old Mei battling an entire group of warriors all by himself. Chen Feng could recall clearly that thest time he had seen a scene this awesome, it had been in a movie in his previous life...

    "Chen Feng!" Old Mei fixed his gaze at that damnable guy with a small patch of beard. To hell with his beard. As Old Mei had increased his strength, he was now able to see through this guy¡¯s disguise with a single look.

    Chen Feng widened his eyes. "Who are you calling? Where¡¯s Chen Feng?"

    Old Meiughed nastily. "Hehe. Even if you transformed into a speck of dust, I would still recognize you. Your disguise is indeed rather ingenious. This should be one of the abilities contained within Myriad Illusions, right? Hehe... What a pity that the present me can see through you easily." Both Old Mei¡¯s eyes were ignited with a raging me as he suddenly recalled everything that had happened here. "Well, looks like the boulder on the summit earlier was your handiwork as well?"

    "How is that possible?" Chen Feng replied while he shed a smile. "I mean, I am already over 30 years old this year. How is it possible that I am that Chen Feng, that handsome, carefree, kind, brave, multitalented, extraordinary, knowledgeable, and all-powerful genius who was able to be an excellent producer at the young age of 20 years old?"

    Instantly, everyonepsed into a silence. The silence was dreadful. As for Old Mei, his mouth twitched. This was the first time he had ever witnessed a person shameless to this degree.

    Old Mei fixed his gaze on Chen Feng. "Is this fun for you?"

    Chen Feng shrugged with a smile. "Well, reciting the truth is rather boring, truth be told."

    Shua!

    His disguise was ripped away. This was a disguise that had beenpleted after using over 10 minor abilities with the help of his luck value.

    Shua!

    That familiar face appeared.

    Hiss¡ª

    As the rest saw this, they inhaled deeply in surprise. Despite the reveal by Old Mei earlier, they had never expected that this over 30 years old excellent producer was truly Chen Feng. That Chen Feng had already reached this level? They nked as they thought of this. Once upon of time, whenever they had mentioned Chen Feng, they had seen him as a person of the junior generation... And out of nowhere, suddenly, he had reached a height rivaling them. Even if he was still a mere B-ss warrior, he was the person capable of producing the hillsea gene reagent!

    He was already qualified to be equal to them of the older generation. Chen Feng had already reached this level? Naturally, this did not seem like it would be of much help to them presently, seeing as how that hateful Old Mei was here.

    Chen Feng was all smiles as he gazed at Old Mei in front of him. "Hi, it¡¯s been a while."

    Old Mei stared at this familiar person in front of him. "I have been wanting to meet you even when I¡¯m dreaming."

    As Chen Feng heard that, he shyly stated, "If so, you should get yourself checked at the hospital. After all, I will normally only dream of beautiful young girls."

    Shua!

    The veins on Old Mei¡¯s head throbbed. Shortly after, though, he calmed himself down.

    "Hehe. The only thing you can do now is talk back anyway. Don¡¯t worry, I will kill you all, leaving you all behind here at this Othershore Mountain forever. I believe that in the not too distant future, you guys will be part of the legend surrounding Othershore Mountain as well," Old Mei finished with a cold expression.

    From the moment he had finished his transformation, it had already been decided that all these people would not be able to leave here alive. This was his home ground! This was his legend! From now onward, the legends surrounding Othershore Mountain would also include the story of that lofty plum blossom!

    He pointed midair. "Condense!" Next, a bright and resplendent plum blossom appeared. Old Mei¡¯s killing intent intensified.

    Chen Feng sighed. Turning around, he looked at the several tens of A-ss warriors that were ordinarily so awe-inspiring. After a short thought, Chen Feng said, "Hey, don¡¯t you guys have any ways of killing that old geezer? Something like curses or anything?"

    "I tried. Even curses were burnt by that me," an A-ss expert with curse-rted abilities stated with an unsightly expression.

    Chen Feng thought of another method. "Oh... how about those prative abilities, then?"

    "That me is capable of blocking them as well," an A-ss expert that had obviously tried that out stated with a bitter smile.

    "Assassination?"

    "Tried."

    "Spatial teleportation?"

    "Tried..."

    One reply after another was given to Chen Feng. After all, they were not idiots. How was it possible for them to have just stood here waiting for death? However, they had already attempted everything possible. All of their attempts had ended up destroyed by that me, and only a small strain had been put on the me from all that. With a nonchnt wave of Old Mei¡¯s hand, the me would recover to its peak condition.

    They smiled bitterly. "That me is capable of nearly everything. Moreover, the energy consumption is so low that it causes one¡¯s hair to stand in anger at the thought of it."

    Now, they had no other means of dealing with that me.

    Chen Feng shrugged. "Fine."

    He had already been aware that Old Mei had been here fusing with his new ability. Unexpectedly, though, his new ability was actually so strong that it was nearly undefeatable.

    A toying smile appeared on Old Mei¡¯s face. "Are you despairing?" As he saw Chen Feng, who had caused him great harm back then, requesting for help nonstop yet having nothing to show for it, that expression of Chen Feng¡¯s as he awaited death, Old Mei felt immensely pleasant.

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. "No, I¡¯m not. Which of your eyes saw me despairing?"

    Old Mei was visibly stunned at this reply.

    Chen Feng curled his lips. "What, it¡¯s a mere plum blossom. Big deal. Come on, Old Mei. You are already this old, yet every single day is spent ying with flowers. Back then, you were ying with chrysanthemums. Never mind that, now you are once again ying with flowers¡ªwith plum blossoms, this time?"

    "I have always been using plum blossoms!" Old Mei bellowed furiously.

    Chen Feng curled his lips. "Yeah right, I¡¯m not buying that. Back then, you joined up with Wang Yue. Who knows what you guys did back then..."[1] 1

    Shua!

    The expressions of everyone else became strange as they heard this.

    "You!" Despite his fury, Old Mei was able to calm down immediately. Coldly, he looked at Chen Feng. "I am aware that you are trying to anger me. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t be too calctive toward a dead person. This is especially true when I am facing a bunch of dead guys."

    Bang!

    The plum blossom me in his hand bloomed.

    "Let¡¯s work together!"

    rmed, all of them let loose their strongest defensive abilities together. The ensuing result of this was rather powerful, as a near-perfect defensive barrier appeared, enveloping everything within. How useful this was, though, was something that still remained to be seen, as even they themselves were not too confident on it.

    Bang!

    The plum blossom crashed into the barrier. me bloomed, yet it failed to break through the barrier.

    They were all overjoyed. "We blocked it!" s, their joy onlysted a moment before the me of the plum blossom bloomed yet again.

    Ka!

    A crisp sound could be heard. At that, all of them paled. That defensive barrier they had all been proud of was only capable of blocking the plum blossom me momentarily.

    They despaired.

    "We¡¯re going to die."

    "I¡¯m actually going to die here..."

    Hu¡ª

    The me of the plum blossom danced around, akin to their worst nightmare. Right at this instant, Chen Feng stood up abruptly. Next, he stepped forth, stopping in front of the me.

    "??"

    The rest were filled with doubt.

    Old Mei frowned as he saw this. "Mhm?" He was indeed nning on killing everyone there, Chen Feng included, with his me. Beyond his expectations, Chen Feng actually had the courage to step forth by himself and stand in front of everyone. Well, this did not matter anyway. If it was some other excellent producer there, Old Mei would have had a tiny bit of fear. As for Chen Feng? He was a mere B-ss warrior. Even if he was capable of transcending sses when battling, he could only battle an A-ss warrior at most. In that case, what was the difference between him and these bunch of A-ss warriors here that were waiting for death?

    s, Chen Feng merely smiled before lifting his hand. One word at a time, he chanted, "God! Punisher!"

    Bang!

    The entire world was enveloped by a scorching white.

    ...

    Old Mei watched on coldly as one familiar ability after another appeared. Suddenly, he recalled the ability of the hillsea beast he had seen earlier. So... Chen Feng was here to fuse with a new ability? As he thought of Chen Feng¡¯s present level of "B-ss warrior," he pieced everything together. Chen Feng had to have just finished fusing with the hillsea gene, thus obtaining the God Punisher gic ability. And since he was a mere B-ss warrior, he could only fuse with the young hillsea beasts.

    After thinking about it, Old Mei concluded that he himself seemed to be the very supplier of the young hillsea beasts Chen Feng had used. Without him, Chen Feng might still be wasting time trying to gather young hillsea beast blood essence.

    Old Mei rubbed his head. "I have been somewhat neglectful, it seems." He should have seen through Chen Feng way earlier. However, it was still not toote for him to see it now.

    Old Mei¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. Do you think that this ability can defeat me? Hehe. Chen Feng... You have been making use of me to gather young hillsea beasts. You have also been foiling my n secretly. However, you have neglected something very important. Ultimately, you are still too weak. He was clearer than anyone else on the characteristics of the hillsea beast¡¯s ability. Despite the fact that God Punisher was an ability nobody cared about, for Old Mei to have decided toe here, he had to have done his research before reaching that decision. He was much clearer than anyone else on the limitations of the God Punisher ability. It could only be used once per day. Moreover, a single type of ability could only appear once, with the selected version of the ability being random.

    Old Mei sneered. "Are you trying tobine it with your Myriad Illusions?"

    Since he was able to figure out Chen Feng¡¯s goal here, he could naturally piece everything together, concluding that Chen Feng had selected this ability due to the Myriad Illusions ability he possessed. Other people would only be able to release not more than 20 abilities with God Punisher. As for Chen Feng, with his Myriad Illusions, he would have hundreds or even a thousand abilities in his repertoire. With thebination of Myriad Illusions and God Punisher, the unleashed might would most certainly be off the charts.

    Bang!

    Old Mei watched on as the endless white surged out of Chen Feng. When a huge amount of abilities of different colors interwove together, the finalbination was something white, a terrifying white radiance that dyed the entire sky white as everything bombarded Old Mei.

    Old Mei pointed midair. "Condense!"

    Hum¡ª

    A plum blossom me bloomed midair. Silently, it hovered there, swallowing up all the white radiance charging at it. Myriad Illusions? God Punisher? Old Mei sneered. Perhaps thisbination would be very terrifying for others. Unfortunately, these low-level abilities contained within Myriad Illusions weren¡¯t even capable of breaking through his defense.

    If Chen Feng were already an A-ss warrior, Old Mei might have had something to fear, but for the present B-ss him? Furthermore, Myriad Illusions was a 1-star ability. A 1-star ability released by a B-ss warrior, how powerful could it be? With such an ability, even if a thousand of them were unleashed, what could they aplish? Ultimately, their level was too low.

    Shua!

    Noiselessly, the plum blossom spinned there. The abilities released by Chen Feng, the seemingly never-ending abilities, were incapable of doing anything against the plum blossom.

    "Devour, my dear plum blossom," Old Mei muttered.

    Bang! Bang!

    The world was enveloped by white, with the exception being the spot Old Mei was standing on, the spot that remained untainted. There, with a feeble-looking me, that part of the world was seemingly protected against the endless white that had enveloped everywhere else. The rest of them were rmed as they witnessed this.

    "How is this possible..."

    "Too powerful."

    The fact that Chen Feng was able to unleash such a powerful attack was very shocking to them. None of them had expected that the B-ss Chen Feng was capable of unleashing an attack equivalent to the attack of a regr A-ss warrior. On the other hand, the defense mounted by Old Mei caused them to be fearful. Just like that, this attack of Chen Feng was being blocked? They were aware that if it was them that were facing such attack, they would most probably be insta-killed. Against such an attack, Old Mei could defend so easily?

    One hundred abilities...

    Two hundred abilities...

    Three hundred abilities...

    Five hundred abilities...

    One thousand abilities...

    ...

    Within the never-ending white, several hundreds of abilities were shot forth with every passing second.

    The speed at which those abilities were shot out by Chen Feng was indeed terrifying. One ought not forget that this was his first time using God Punisher. As such, he wasn¡¯t well practiced with it and was only able to keep throwing all the appearing abilities out in one go. The attack was so powerful that space itself seemed to have frozen.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Some of them that had better eyes were able to get a much clearer look at the unleashed abilities than others.

    "It¡¯ll be reaching 1,000 soon."

    "The released abilities are growing stronger and stronger. I suppose it¡¯s going to end soon?"

    "Looks like Chen Feng has some ability to keep the stronger abilities for the end. He is releasing the abilities in sequence ording to their strength. Theter it gets, the stronger the abilities be."

    "That seems to be the case."

    Everyone was filled with anticipation. Perhaps... this would be sufficient to defeat Old Mei?

    Bang! Bang!

    The plum blossom appeared to be tottering now, seemingly on the verge of copse.

    "Soon."

    "He might be able to defeat Old Mei for real."

    They were full of anticipation. However, right at this moment, with a slight raise of Old Mei¡¯s hand, beside the initial plum blossom that had yet to dissipate, a brand new plum blossom appeared. From the looks of it, it seemed even more powerful than the initial plum blossom.

    "This..." Their expressions changed greatly. There were more?

    Old Mei sneered. "How idiotic..." Did they truly think that something he had used 10 years to obtain would be this weak? Oh well... Chen Feng had already unleashed 1,000 abilities now. It would most probably end soon.

    After all, Old Mei had a certain degree of understanding toward the Myriad Illusions ability. Some others had learned this ability previously as well. However, even when reaching A ss, those people only had around 1,000 abilities in total. If one wanted more, it would be dependent on luck. After all, a lot of the abilities contained within Myriad Illusions had too low a probability of appearance. Therefore, despite there being several thousand abilities contained within Myriad Illusions, most people would only be able to make use of around 1,000 of them.

    Naturally, he did not know that Chen Feng¡¯s version of Myriad Illusions was a mutated version. This was an ability improved by Chen Feng himself, an ability containing 16,000 minor abilities. He was also unaware that as far as Chen Feng was concerned, regardless of how low the probability of appearance for any minor ability was, with Wind de and luck value, the appearance of these abilities was something extremely simple.

    Bang!

    One thousand five hundred abilities.

    The second plum blossom was also copsing now.

    Old Mei was filled with doubt. "???" The high amount of abilities unleashed by this God Punisher had given him quite a surprise. However, this would probably be the furthest it would go. After all, it was understandable for someone like Chen Feng to have several hundred more abilities than other users of Myriad Illusions. But then, the speed at which this second plum blossom was copsing seemed somewhat too fast? This second plum blossom of his, this peerless me, wasn¡¯t even able tost more than a single second under Chen Feng¡¯s barrage.

    How odd.

    Once again, Old Mei formed a brand new plum blossom.

    Bang!

    One thousand seven hundred abilities. And now, yet another plum blossom of Old Mei¡¯s copsed.

    "!!!"

    This time, Old Mei was truly rmed. Another copse? Hadn¡¯t a single plum blossom of his been capable of blocking the attacks of a group of A-ss warriors during his previous uses? And now... when it was facing Chen Feng¡¯s God Punisher, it was gone in a mere instant? How was this possible?

    "I refuse to believe this." Clenching his teeth, Old Mei condensed another plum blossom.

    Bang!

    One thousand eight hundred abilities. The new plum blossom copsed.

    Bang!

    One thousand nine hundred abilities. Yet another new plum blossom copsed.

    Bang! Bang!

    Old Mei kept forming new plum blossoms without stop. rming him and everyone there, his ever-victorious plum blossoms could onlyst a single instant against Chen Feng¡¯s barrage. It had reached a point where a single plum blossom of his was no longer able to block more than 100 abilities of Chen Feng¡¯s.

    Finally, Old Mei¡¯s expression changed. "How is this possible?" Could Chen Feng have some peculiar ability that was countering his plum blossom? At this thought, he soaked his consciousness into the plum blossom, trying to figure out what was going on. However, the information he obtained startled him greatly. No weakness was found¡ªhis plum blossom wasn¡¯t being countered. Astonishingly, Chen Feng was simply using brute force, mming his abilities against the plum blossom until its eventual copse. In other words, the energy being unleashed by this God Punisher had far exceeded the amount of energy his plum blossom could defend against.

    But then... how was that possible? When had this low-level ability, this Myriad Illusions, be even stronger than the full-powered attack of an A-ss warrior? Old Mei truly couldn¡¯t answer this question.

    Bang!

    The white radiance was still as blinding as ever. As for Old Mei, he did not dare to even pause, forming plum blossoms without stop. Facing an attack of this level, he could no longer hope to survive through a fluke. The only thing he could do was face force with force. Despite the fact that Chen Feng¡¯s God Punisher appeared to be increasingly powerful, Old Mei was clear that Chen Feng was going to reach the end, as God Punisher would be done unleashing its abilities soon. Now, it was a matter of persevering till the end.

    "Even if you can destroy a plum blossom, a single plum blossom only consumes a small amount of my energy. Let me have a look at how long your God Punisher canst and how many more abilities you have to unleash."

    Two thousand abilities!

    Bang!

    Three hovering plum blossoms copsed together.

    Two thousand one hundred abilities.

    Bang!

    Five plum blossoms copsed together.

    Two thousand two hundred abilities.

    Bang!

    Ten plum blossoms copsed together.

    This plum blossom capable of blocking a group of A-ss attacks had now been reduced to mere cannon fodder. The only thing Old Mei could do was form plum blossoms unendingly to defend himself. Presently, Chen Feng¡¯s barrage was getting increasingly stronger, increasingly astonishing. However, Old Mei knew that Chen Feng was reaching his limit. God Punisher would end soon. As for the onlookers around them, they were already numb toward any and all surprises. This was a battle they could not even hope to interfere with.

    Old Mei¡¯s gaze was cold. By now, he did not have much energy left in him. He had never expected that with this perfected plum blossom that could be treated as something with an unlimited supply, he would actually reach a point where he was on the brink of energy exhaustion. This was something that would ordinarily never happen. Now, though, it seemed like this was precisely what was happening.

    Two thousand three hundred abilities!

    Bang!

    Twenty plum blossoms copsed.

    At this moment, God Punisher stopped its barrage momentarily. An extremely terrifying amount of energy seemed to be on the verge of release. Rather than being rmed, Old Mei was instead overjoyed. Finally, it was ending! Finally, Chen Feng¡¯s God Punisher had reached its final barrage. Chen Feng seemed to have used some other ability in conjunction with God Punisher to control the sequence of the abilities unleashed. From the start till the end, the might of the abilities had increased without stop. Therefore, this final ability would certainly be an extremely powerful ability.

    This would be his final trump card. This would also be the moment where God Punisher was at its strongest. At this moment, the entirety of Chen Feng was enveloped in radiance. The radiance was an effect of the numerous buff abilities unleashed by the God Punisher earlier. Chen Feng had clearly used those buff abilities on himself.

    At the same time, Old Mei¡¯s body was also enveloped by a rather dark radiance. This was the effect of the numerous debuff abilities released by God Punisher earlier. Despite their inability to harm the plum blossoms, despite their rather weak effects, they were still ultimately a gathering of various bizarre debuffs. However, Old Mei was without the slightest fear.

    Come! Old Mei bellowed inwardly. He had finallypleted his transformation after 10 whole years of preparation. As such, he absolutely would not allow himself to be defeated in this very first battle so fresh after his transformation. A powerful concentration of energy gathered in his hands before assembling and forming an exceptionally dazzling plum blossom that was blooming with a me, a me akin to the mes of hell.

    Bang!

    A seemingly boundless red radiance started shining dazzlingly.

    Othershore Mountain.

    White, red¡ªbeneath the dark sky, two entirely different colors shed, blinding all onlookers with the dazzling sh, the intensity of the sh causing onlookers to feel flustered. The participants of this sh were Old Mei and Chen Feng. One was an expert unheard of before, while the other was a person who had previously spent much time in the limelight, yet he was also a mere producer whose level wasn¡¯t particrly high.

    It was beyond everyone¡¯s expectation that the scope of these two¡¯s battle had reached such a level. At this point, their fight was already rivaling the fight of peak A-ss warriors. As for the others there that were ordinary A-ss warriors, they couldn¡¯t even interfere in the battle at all.

    Ka!

    Countless people had their fists clenched tight. This was the very first time in their lives that they had felt such a pressing urge to improve their strength. While the sh between Chen Feng and Old Mei might seem like it had been going on for a long time, in truth, only a few seconds had passed since the start of their battle. Within such a short time period, several thousand abilities had been unleashed, rming everyone present.

    Bang!

    Before their eyes, the terrifying radiance bloomed. They were all anticipating that Chen Feng would be the final victor. Betraying their anticipation, that rming radiance was gradually changing color, with the white waning and the red intensifying. That red light that had initially seemed so feeble was now so very dazzling.

    Their hearts shuddered. "This is bad!" Had Chen Feng been defeated? No! That shouldn¡¯t be possible! They had obviously seen how Chen Feng had had Old Mei suppressed toward the end, but then, that final plum blossom summoned by Old Mei did seem muchrger than what he had summoned previously. Could it be...

    "Has Chen Feng failed to break through that final plum blossom?" someone asked bitterly. That seemed to be just the case. At this thought, the expressions of everyone else sunk as well. It was all over.

    Currently, Chen Feng was their only hope. But then, it seemed like even Chen Feng was unable to defeat Old Mei. If even that terrifying power of Chen Feng¡¯s had failed to break through that plum blossom, what else could they do?

    Someone sighed. "God Punisher has probably finished unleashing all the abilities."

    They could roughly guess what had happened during the exchange earlier. Ultimately, Chen Feng had been the one attacking. Old Mei had merely been defending himself. Now that Chen Feng¡¯s God Punisher was done spamming abilities, even if Old Mei had only a tiny spark of his me remaining, this could be considered a defeat. Only by defeating all Old Mei¡¯s me or killing Old Mei would they be considered victorious.

    But then...

    They all stared upward at the sky. Beneath the pitch-ck sky, only an expanse of red could be seen. Moreover, along with the passage of time, the red was intensifying. After only a single second, the red had seemingly reached the tipping point.

    Bang! Bang!

    Next, a terrifying explosion that shocked one¡¯s heart started reverberating. Space copsed, and the earth trembled. After a long time, the red faded, returning Othershore Mountain to its tranquility.

    Their hearts were trembling. "Has it ended?" At this moment, they did not even have the courage to raise their heads, to look at the result of the battle, even though they already had their guesses as to the final result of the battle. However, when someone finally raised his head, that person was given a huge shock. His eyes widened abruptly as he stared ahead, unbelieving. There, a red light was flickering. It was Old Mei! He was indeed the final survivor!

    But then... why did he seem to be in such a sorry state? And why did he look like he was fleeing? Just as this thought surfaced in that person¡¯s brain...

    Bang!

    A red sh streaked past.

    Next, blood started spurting out all over Old Mei¡¯s body. Hastily, he streaked forth, transforming into a red sh as he escaped. As for the plum blossom that he had initially used to blockade Othershore Mountain, he directly absorbed it back into him. As that plum blossom was absorbed, the radiance around him intensified as he regained a portion of his power. Next... he used his newly recovered power to... flee for his life!

    ??

    Everyone else was dumbfounded. F-fled? Why was Old Mei the one fleeing? Hold on, from the final red radiance that had been so dazzling, shouldn¡¯t Old Mei have been the final victor? Curiously, they looked at Chen Feng. Only now did they notice with amazement that Chen Feng was standing there coldly. In his eyes, a red radiance that caused one to feel flustered was fading slowly. It would seem like the red radiance earlier had actually been released by Chen Feng.

    "It¡¯s Nethergaze..."

    "I have once seen this ability," someone whispered. He did not even have to courage to look into Chen Feng¡¯s eyes.

    "Since when has this ability been so powerful?"

    The rest were rmed. That final plum blossom unleashed by Old Mei was powerful enough to contend against a peak A-ss warrior. What about Chen Feng? He was a mere B-ss warrior. A Nethergaze unleashed by a B-ss warrior had actually... Suddenly, they felt like their worldview had beenpletely overturned.

    A lot of them heaved a sigh of relief. "Chen Feng won." At the same time, they thought of another question. With someone like Chen Feng here, would they still be able to obtain the rewards for this mission?

    Chen Feng had a cold expression. "It¡¯s over." He had ultimately been victorious in this battle. However, it was rather unfortunate that when Old Mei was supposed to have been killed here, that old man had utilized the plum blossom he had used to blockade Othershore Mountain to flee. This had caught Chen Feng by surprise. Old Mei was indeed no ordinary person. However...

    "You have only used around 2,000 abilities of Myriad Illusions previously. Therefore, the final amplification of the God Punisher only reached around 20 times. If you have a usage history of all 16,000 abilities of Myriad Illusions, the next time you use God Punisher, the final amplification will probably reach 160 times or greater. This will be the true might of your God Punisher," Spirit reminded him.

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "I know."

    The only reason he had failed to kill Old Mei was due to him having only learned this God Punisher a short while ago. If he could encounter Old Mei once again in the future, he could definitely bully Old Mei to the point that that fellow would question life itself.

    "You need to master God Punisher as soon as possible. With your present speed of several hundred abilities released per second, the moment you use the ultimate God Punisher with 16,000 and more abilities, there is a chance that you might be interrupted in the midst of your ability," Spirit reminded him.

    Chen Feng nodded. "I know." Suppose he could release 300 abilities per second. To fully release all 16,000 abilities, it would be weird if he wasn¡¯t interrupted in the midst of his barrage. Even today, where Chen Feng only had around 2,000 abilities to unleash, he had wasted seven seconds on it. He had only seeded because the opponent had been Old Mei. If he had faced someone else today, such as a true peak A-ss warrior or an A-ss warrior that was well versed in assassination abilities, what would have happened? In a sh, Chen Feng would have been dead.

    If this God Punisher was described in gaming terms, then when Chen Feng was releasing his God Punisher, he was "casting" his skill and could be easily interrupted. Therefore, despite its strength, God Punisher had rather harsh limitations as well. This was especially pronounced for this mutated God Punisher. Yes, theoretically, toward the end of the barrage, the abilities would be even stronger, but who would actually allow him to finish his barrage? Granted, when used now, his enemies would naturally have no idea what it was.

    However, in the future, when this ability of Chen Feng¡¯s became well-known and all of them found out about the w of this God Punisher, they would most probably tank the initial barrage of the God Punisher and kill him off before the stronger abilities could even be fired. The enemies would most definitely strive to kill Chen Feng, even at the cost of suffering a disastrous injury. This was a w that would most certainly be leaked as Chen Feng¡¯s usage of this ability increased.

    Chen Feng took in a deep breath. "Looks like I have to work hard." Although he had obtained this rather astonishing trump card, he still had to train hard. He was aware that he was still far from truly mastering this God Punisher. For God Punisher to disy its true might, the full release had to be instantaneous. Only then would it be a true eruption, the true God Punisher.

    Chen Feng raised his head and looked at the sky. "Only two more days left." Time to return...

    Surprising him, after he took a mere step forward, the gic warriors around him actually surrounded him, all of them with solemn expressions.

    Chen Feng was somewhat shocked at this new development. Huh?

    "Sorry, but you are too strong. There are only five 5-star secret arts and five 6-star secret arts in the reward pool. If you remain alive, I doubt any of us will have any shot at the rewards anymore. Therefore, we have no choice but to kill you while you are in your present weakened state," someone stated honestly.

    Chen Feng shrugged. "Oh. What if I leave right this moment, then?"

    Another person shook his head. "Sorry. You are too strong. When you recover, none of us will be your match."

    Chen Feng sighed. "All this just for some 6-star secret arts?"

    They nodded. "Yes. Because we have witnessed your battle with Old Mei, we recognize that we need those secret arts even more now. We are not resigned to be below others like this!"

    Shua!

    They started approaching Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng shrugged. "Don¡¯t you guys still need topete among yourselves anyway?"

    "True. But then, we are all A-ss warriors and will be a match for each other. We all stand a chance in a fight against each other. If we were to fight you instead, all of us together would not be your match. If we let you go... all those 6-star secret arts offered in the mission will end up being yours," they stated earnestly.

    As Chen Feng pondered, he noted that their reasoning was truly too good, to the point he couldn¡¯t even retort! Did Chen Feng want those 6-star secret arts? The answer was most definitely yes! Those were, after all, 6-star secret arts, extremely powerful items.

    One only needed to give it a bit of thought to understand this. A single 6-star secret art was already sufficient to drive a group of A-ss warriors crazy. Now that there were five of them on the line, these people would put their lives on the line for it. This Othershore Mountain incident was a perfect demonstration of this. These secret arts were simply too valuable.

    If he had a chance of obtaining them, Chen Feng would most certainly not give up on them. His initial n had been to first leave before returning in secret and obtaining several young hillsea beasts before going back to im the reward. As for his incredible strength seemingly capable of everything as described by these guys, he was not able to demonstrate such strength presently.

    After all, the time required for the full release of his God Punisher was too long. Hence, his present God Punisher was only suited for one-on-one fights. With this entire group of people here, only one would need to face him head-on while the other mounted an ambush. This alone would render Chen Feng helpless. Unfortunately for them, they were not aware of this. The earlier demonstration of strength by Chen Feng had instead scared them, resulting in them deciding to join hands and get rid of him.

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes as he thought of this. "Sh*t." He was truly not as powerful as what they thought! Earlier, he had been truly unleashing his trump card! Despite him being able to defeat Old Mei, the difference between him and Old Mei was that he wouldn¡¯t be able to defeat everyone here, while Old Mei was capable of such. It was a pity that this was unknown to any of them here. Even if he told them, they wouldn¡¯t believe him in any case. Furthermore, if they truly believed it, they would instead have no inhibitions toward Chen Feng and would deal with him directly.

    Chen Feng sighed. "I am your benefactor."

    "We are aware of that. Therefore, after your death, we will erect a memorial arch for you. Each year, at this time, we will pray to you," someone stated earnestly.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    How very sincere!

    They exchanged nces. "Sorry." The present Chen Feng was at his weakest state. Therefore, they would only have the courage to act against him at this time. After all, God Punisher was an ability that was supposed to fully exhaust all the energy of the user. Moreover, the user wouldn¡¯t be able to recover within a short period of time. Therefore, this was their one and only opportunity to get rid of Chen Feng.

    This was something both they and Chen Feng were aware of. The present Chen Feng had just finished a battle with Old Mei and was almost emptied of all his energy. He had nobat power left. If they made a move now, Chen Feng would undoubtedly perish here.

    Seeing the crisis Chen Feng faced, Spirit asked, "Do you want to activate Luck Aura?"

    Presently, there was still some luck value remaining. Despite the low amount, if it was all used, they could still create a miracle. Perhaps this would be sufficient to create a lifeline for Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng rejected the suggestion. "No." Suddenly, some sounds could be heard behind Chen Feng. As he turned around, he noted that someone had appeared behind him as well, blocking his only escape route.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng gained understanding. "So the reason you guys continued talking to me earlier was to drag this out, allowing those people to seal my escape route?"

    They did not deny it. "Yes."

    Chen Feng sighed. "How cautious." It would seem like they had indeed learned something from the encounter with Old Mei. Moreover, these gic warriors that were initially unfamiliar with each other had now gained a certain degree of tacit understanding with each other after battling together earlier. This was a rather important point to note. The only unexpected thing was that they had actually utilized this newly gained tacit understanding against Chen Feng.

    "Sorry."

    They were about to make their move.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance started converging. Although these people had all been incapable of participating in the earlier battle, they were ultimately still A-ss warriors. As such, they were in fact rather powerful, much more powerful than Chen Feng.

    "Goodbye."

    Theyunched their attack at Chen Feng.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng sighed. "You guys have indeed selected the perfect timing to make a move against me. However, don¡¯t you guys think that there¡¯s something you are all forgetting about?"

    "?" Hearing this, they felt somewhat puzzled.

    "Indeed, I don¡¯t have much energy left now. Even if you guys proceeded to take your time and block all the escape routes, I wouldn¡¯t be able to recover much of my energy anyway. I don¡¯t even have enough energy to release a single Wind de. However..." Suddenly, Chen Feng took out a familiar item. "Have you guys forgotten about these?"

    Shua!

    Their expressions changed greatly.

    "Run!" They started fleeing in rm. Their fear toward Chen Feng was too great. As such, they had ced too much importance on the fact that the present Chen Feng had no energy left. Because of that, they had neglected something that Chen Feng had been producing all along here at this ce¡ªthe red spheres!

    Chen Feng sighed. "I was initially nning to leave behind some seeds for my future battles."

    Xiu!

    Nonchntly, he tossed the red sphere out.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    A bright explosion ensued. In order to attack Chen Feng in a group, they had all been crowded together. To get rid of Chen Feng, they had even sealed all escape routes. And now, everything they had done was instead acting against them.

    Bang! Bang!

    The earth trembled and mournful screams resounded. Toward these guys who had repaid his act of saving them by trying to kill him, Chen Feng did not hold back. Numerous red spheres were tossed out, ughtering countless people. After a long time, Othershore Mountain recovered its peace.

    "And now, this should end."

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face as he saw several figures remaining a distance away from him. Not all of the people here had bad intentions. There still some who had been too embarrassed to do anything toward Chen Feng, since he had saved them earlier. Even though they hadn¡¯t helped Chen Feng when he had been attacked by the group earlier, they were still too ashamed to face Chen Feng now.

    Chen Feng waved at them. "Are you guys thinking ofing at me as well?"

    Shua!

    Their faces paled. Shaking their heads, they retreated hastily.

    Chen Feng curled his lips. "What are you guys so afraid of?" In a somewhat exhausted manner, he stretched himselfzily. All around him were the corpses of A-ss warriors. Presently, in the entire Othershore Mountain, only Chen Feng remained. He had ultimately survived till the end.

    Chen Feng smiled. "Well, my target for this trip has now been aplished. As such, it¡¯s time to reap some additional rewards."

    Additional rewards such as the trump cards these dead A-ss warriors still had on their bodies and the young hillsea beasts of this Othershore Mountain.

    After the numerous fights the hillsea beasts here had gone through with those gic warriors, it seemed even easier now for Chen Feng to capture those young hillsea beasts. Perhaps there might still be a chance for him to get the rewards posted by Old Mei. At this thought, Chen Feng became excited. He had to obtain those 6-star secret arts. Unknown to Chen Feng, along with the departure of those people earlier, he had now transformed into a legend.

    Everything that had happened here at Othershore Mountain was spread by those people to the Gic Union, to the various major powers, and to the inte. The entire world erupted in an uproar. With this, Othershore Mountain had truly be a forbidden area. As for Chen Feng, he was now a legend.

 Chapter 461: Setting a God Punisher Trend

    At the Gic Union, the dusky sky remained.

    "Have you guys heard?"

    "Chen Feng?"

    "Yeah, exactly. I heard that he has been ughtering at Othershore Mountain and he killed a bunch of A-ss warriors. Even one guy named Old Mei who possessed the strength of peak A ss was killed by him."

    "Wow, so ferocious?"

    One particr person reminisced about his history with Chen Feng. "Yeah, man. I still remember the time back then when he helped us out with a mission. At that time, he was still very weak, and the sky was still blue. Also, back then, Chen Feng was still very young¡ª"

    Another person interrupted him while curling his lips. "Oh, please. He is still very young now, okay?"

    "True, I heard that he is still a B-ss warrior now."

    "B ss?"

    "How did he challenge those above his ss at B ss? And to actually defeat a peak A-ss warrior on top of it? Isn¡¯t the gap too huge?"

    "I heard that he aplished that feat with the help of God Punisher."

    "God Punisher... what in the world? It¡¯s that ability? That is quite an unreliable ability. Even though it grants the user the ability to transcend sses, the user¡¯s ordinarybat power will be very weak."

    "How so?"

    "Take a regr B ss as an example. Even if he has God Punisher as one of his abilities and has created a series of abilities with God Punisher as the core of all his abilities, thus allowing him to challenge an A-ss warrior, normally, that person is only equivalent to a C-ss warrior. This is because of the ability slot that he wasted to make way for this God Punisher ability."

    "You mean... the user will have a strength equivalent to someone of one ss lower ordinarily, and when he erupts with the God Punisher, he will have the strength equivalent to someone a ss higher than him?"

    "Exactly!"

    "I see..."

    Everyone gained understanding. So it was actually God Punisher. Because of this incident, a lot of people noticed this previously unknown ability called God Punisher. Naturally, along with the spread of the news about what had happened at Othershore Mountain, every tiny detail of what Chen Feng had done there was leaked as well. It reached a point that some people were even offering a high price to purchase this information.

    It was said that due to this incident, a group of adventurers with exploration-, detection-, and recalling-rted abilities were headed toward Othershore Mountain to look for clues as to what Chen Feng had done there.

    Chen Feng¡¯s expressions...

    Chen Feng¡¯s strength...

    Chen Feng¡¯s clothes...

    Chen Feng¡¯s abilities...

    Even the color of Chen Feng¡¯s underpants was a target of their investigation. They were all extremely clear on the w of God Punisher. As such, the more they proceeded in their investigation, the more rmed they became, to the point where they had no idea how to proceed any further.

    Ordinarily, even if God Punisher was used in conjunction with Myriad Illusions, the most an early-tier B-ss warrior could aplish was defeating an early-tier A-ss warrior. This was already a rather heaven-defying feat. As for Chen Feng, he had actually challenged a peak A-ss warrior directly? What did that signify, exactly? Just look at Old Mei. He, with his strength of peak A-ss warrior, had killed several tens of A-ss warriors at Othershore Mountain all by himself. Furthermore, what all those A-ss warriors had suffered was a crushing defeat, a total defeat.

    A peak A-ss warrior was so much stronger than an ordinary A-ss warrior. As for Chen Feng, with his level as a B-ss warrior, he had directly challenged a peak A-ss warrior? To actually defeat that peak A-ss warrior on top of it? To force that Old Mei to retreat? This was truly too excessive a feat. What was up with that Chen Feng, exactly? None of them had any answers.

    They were aware that there were a lot of abilities out there capable of giving the user an eruption in strength by damaging the user as well. However, even those abilities would be hard pressed to allow a B-ss warrior to actually defeat a peak A-ss warrior.

    "What on earth is going on?"

    "Perhaps this is the result of abination of several abilities?"

    "That might be true..."

    They discussed this without stop.

    In this era where gic evolution was in full throttle, the masses were all extremely interested in the cause of Chen Feng¡¯s eruption in strength. This curiosity was intensified by the fact that Chen Feng was someone who was extremely simr to thosemon people. He was an ordinary person with no power backing him. A lot of people had witnessed Chen Feng as he threaded his path to greatness. Therefore, if Chen Feng was capable of this, perhaps they could do it as well?

    "You guys won¡¯t be able to do this. Chen Feng is the only one capable of such a miracle."

    "Why?"

    "Do you guys even know that after fusing with God Punisher, the user¡¯s ordinarybat power will be reduced by an entire ss? The more ability slots you guys use to support God Punisher, the stronger God Punisher will be, but you guys will also be weaker normally. Indeed, you guys will obtain the ability to challenge someone of a higher ss, but there is a w in that..."

    "How did Chen Feng solve this w, then?"

    "Come on, he¡¯s a producer, and an excellent producer on top of that. Ultimately, Chen Feng is still a B-ss warrior. Therefore, the gene reagents he produces are sufficient to erupt with a power equivalent to a peak B-ss warrior. Do you understand? Despite the fact that God Punisher causes him to be one ss weaker ordinarily, this seemingly lostbat power is something he did not even require in the first ce. He can stick with using gene reagents for regr battles. Besides that, as an excellent producer, the gene reagents he produces are already sufficient for him to challenge someone of a higher ss."

    "So powerful?"

    Only at this did everyone regain their rationality. So Chen Feng had been relying on his profession as a gene producer to pull this off? Indeed, with his gene reagents, he did not even need to be bothered with the seeming loss ofbat power in his ordinary state. This was what made Chen Feng so powerful now. At least, this was what the masses thought to be the case.

    "He is indeed worthy of being the Chen Feng we all know," someone eximed in admiration.

    "Youngsters nowadays are truly scary," someonemented.

    "Looks like I have to start learning how to produce genes, then..."

    Some started setting new goals for themselves. Not long after, on the market, a set of abilityption based on what they guessed Chen Feng had done appeared, shocking everyone.

    "Are you still struggling in the lowest rungs of society? Are you still a worthless person nobody cares about? Come and join our ss at Wood Mountain! God Punisher-based ability set! Gene Production! The path toward bing an expert is beckoning you!"

    Numerous clickbait advertisements appeared everywhere. Moreover, no spokesperson of any sort was required for this!

    All these people were simply jumping on the trend set by Chen Feng. As long as one did not live in a cave, one would know how amazingly Chen Feng had performed with such an ability set. It was said that on that day itself, the number of applicants at the Gene Production Association exceeded 10,000.

    "That brat." Hou Liang¡¯s face was smiling so wide his face looked like a flower. He had never expected that, after going through several dangers, that Chen Feng kid had actually survived. Moreover, Chen Feng had even brought such unprecedented poprity upon their Gene Production Association. He indeed did not disappoint. Look at those cute rookies... For this to happen during this era of darkness, could this be considered a constion of sorts?

    "In a not too distant future, the Gene Production Association will most certainly be much stronger than now. When that happens, the number of geniuses at Star City will increase as well..."

    Old Hou Liang was extremely gratified.

    At the same time, at a certain assassination organization.

    A certain boss was raging. "What the hell have you guys been doing all this while? Why did none of you think of something this genius? B ss! With only a B-ss God Punisher ability set, a B-ss warrior will be able to insta-kill a peak A-ss warrior!"

    His underlings had wronged expressions. "Boss, to do this, we need to learn gene production..."

    The boss roared at his underlings. "And why does that even matter? Hasn¡¯t Chen Feng used that ability just nicely? Why do we even need to learn gene production? It doesn¡¯t matter if our normalbat power is weaker. We are assassins. A single killing strike is all that matters."

    "We have indeed tried that. But then, without gene production skills, we will not be able to kill a peak A-ss warrior anyway," the underling stated bitterly. They had indeed attempted something simr to what Chen Feng had done. Even before this feat of Chen Feng¡¯s, they had tried it. Obviously, Chen Feng was not the first person to use God Punisher. Unfortunately, it had not worked for them. This ability was too unreliable.

 Chapter 462: The Furious Old Mei

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Boss looked at his underling, wondering if this guy was looking for an excuse for his ipetence. "Who can we kill if not a peak A-ss warrior?"

    "A-ss warrior. Without the help of gene production skills, a B-ss warrior can only kill an A-ss warrior when using this ability." The underling ended with a sigh.

    Boss looked at the underling like he was looking at an idiot. "Isn¡¯t that enough?" Wasn¡¯t it sufficient to be able to transcend an entire ss?

    The underling shook his head. "No, it¡¯s not. First, to train a B-ss warrior with an ability set based on God Punisher, it would cost no less than what is required to train an A-ss assassin. It is too expensive. Second, God Punisher is unreliable at times. In our tests, during the process of using God Punisher, there was a 50% chance that the A-ss opponent would not be killed. Moreover, the amount of damage dealt varied too greatly. There was even one particr incident where, instead of killing the opponent, the God Punisher user healed the opponent instead," the underling said, finishing his report with a dark expression.

    Boss: "..." This ability is such a scam? As the boss looked at the test results provided by his underling, he was somewhat dumbstruck. So this was the case? If so, how had Chen Feng...

    With a low voice, the underling reminded his boss, "Chen Feng has his gene production skills. It¡¯s also possible that he has some methods of fighting using God Punisher we are unaware of. Otherwise, this God Punisher-based ability set would have be famous long ago."

    "Is that so?" Presented with all these facts, the boss could only regretfully give up on his n. The arts of gene production were too mysterious. There were some legendary and ancient gene forms that possessed some powerful and mysterious abilities. If Chen Feng had learned such a form, it might truly have enabled him to make use of this God Punisher. It would seem like they have no choice but to give up on this.

    Naturally, they were not the only ones that wanted to develop in this direction. The various assassination organizations and powers were all researching the feasibility of God Punisher-based ability sets

    , looking at the possibility of developing a group of assassins or suicide warriors. If it was possible, they would be overjoyed. Unfortunately, it was certain that this effort of theirs would be fruitless.

    Presently, at the Gic Union, just as everyone was still passionately discussing Chen Feng, the main entrance of their headquarters was kicked open.

    Instantly, everyone there raged. "Who dares to kick open the entrance of our Gic Union?" What joke was this? Even a peak A-ss warrior would not have the courage to be so unbridled here at their headquarters. However, just as they stood up getting ready to rage, they saw a huge figure walk in through the door. The first thing they saw was a head with a fierce expression and a pair of extremely vicious-looking eyes.

    What is that? Everyone widened their eyes.

    ng! ng! ng!

    Apanied by his steady footsteps, the huge figure approached them one step at a time.

    ng!

    A certain A-ss warrior unsheathed his weapon in preparation for a fight. As the figure walked forth and everyone got a clear look at him, they were all stupefied. That huge figure was actually a person carrying a huge mutated beast. That seemed to be...

    ng!

    The mutated beast was thrown down onto the floor, giving them a clear look at that person¡¯s face. It was a familiar face.

    Chen Feng beamed as he gazed at the stupefied bunch there. "Hey, long time no see. I¡¯m here toplete the mission."

    They were all dumbstruck. "Chen... Chen Feng?"

    None of them had expected that the person they had been talking about would appear right in front of them.

    "What... what mission?"

    "The one with young hillsea beast as the target."

    Instantly, they recovered from their stupor. "Oh." That legendary mission at Othershore Mountain. True, since Chen Feng had been the only one remaining there, the beasts there would...

    The employee there wiped his sweat. "Please wait a moment. Let us inspect it."

    "Not a problem. You guys do what needs to be done. Let me go carry some more over," Chen Feng replied with a smile.

    The rest couldn¡¯t understand what he was getting at. "What?"

    ng! ng! ng!

    Chen Feng proceeded to carry in one hillsea beast after another. All the targets of this mission were thuspleted by Chen Feng alone. Full of sweat, the employeepleted the inspection and verification before handling the procedures for Chen Feng.

    "If so... can you give me the rewards directly?" Chen Feng asked with a smile. He had no intention of staying here too long. Despite the fact that he had been feeling amazing when he had killed all those A-ss warriors at Othershore Mountain, he guessed that some of those he had killed were ultimately people with backgrounds. Even right at this moment, someone might be making their way over here for Chen Feng...

    "Yes, sure. However, there is a condition for me to do that," the employee stated.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Mhm?" Had he encountered those peopleing for revenge already? As he thought of this, while staring at the female employee in front of him, energy started converging in his hands.

    "Can you sign this for me?" the female employee asked bashfully.

    Chen Feng was instantly speechless. "..." After spending several days at Othershore Mountain, he had nearly forgotten what ce this was. This was the headquarters of the Gic Union. If it had reached a point where people could kill as they wished here, then this world would have truly been in big trouble.

    Nowadays, one could battle or kill in the wilderness. However, in any city, killing was prohibited. As such, regardless of how domineering an assassin was out there in the wilderness, when they were operating in a city, they could only take it slow when assassinating someone. If not because of this fact, Chen Feng would have been killed off by an assassin back then...

    **

    At a certain different location, amid a certain wilderness, a plum blossom bloomed midair.

    Hum¡ª

    The faint radiance coalesced before, suddenly, the plum blossom ignited. After a long time, a person walked out of the me. That person was precisely Old Mei.

    Old Mei was overjoyed. "Finally, I recovered..." He had returned alive. However, he hadn¡¯t even basked in this short happiness for more than two seconds before his wristband buzzed abruptly. With a nce, Old Mei¡¯s expression became unsightly, like a person who had eaten some poop. The rewards he had offered for the mission had all been imed by Chen Feng.

    Old Mei felt extremely hateful. "Damn it!" All those were resources he had prepared for himself to help him in his charge to peak A-ss.

    He felt extremely hateful. "Chen Feng!" Even if he could forget what Chen Feng had done to him in the past, he had never expected that during this crucial period of his life, his n would still end up foiled by Chen Feng. How could he not feel hateful? His entire heart was filled with hatred and killing intent, and he almost failed to resist looking for Chen Feng right away. However, he had only taken a single step forth before stopping.

    Could the present him defeat that Chen Feng? He truly doubted that. When had that God Punisher be so powerful?

    He pondered. "God Punisher can only be used once per day. I might still have my chance at revenge." However, how could he be sure that Chen Feng had no other trump cards? Moreover, how could he be sure of the actual cooldown of Chen Feng¡¯s God Punisher?

    The content of the presently avable information on Chen Feng all indicated that he was a very perverse person, especially the release of his God Punisher. That final radiance he had released seemed to be Nethergaze? That ability was indeed powerful. However, it did not seem capable of enabling the user to challenge one of a higher ss? Despite that, Chen Feng¡¯s Nethergaze seemed much stronger. Old Mei rubbed his chest as he still felt some lingering fear from when he had faced Chen Feng earlier. If he hadn¡¯t escaped fast enough, he would have most probably gotten himself killed there. That final radiance...

    "Even if Chen Feng can¡¯t unleash his God Punisher, this Nethergaze alone is already..." The mere thought of this caused Old Mei to shudder in fear. All abilities would seemingly be extremely terrifying in Chen Feng¡¯s hands. Regardless of Nethergaze, God Punisher, or even Myriad Illusions, all of them had seemingly transformed from their regr version when used by Chen Feng. The present Old Mei did not have the courage to take any risks when dealing with Chen Feng.

    Old Mei calmed himself down. "I can¡¯t be hasty. I can¡¯t let my emotions control my actions. I have an unlimited potential and future, and I can definitely not die just like this."

 Chapter 463: Old Meiâ€™s Revenge Plan

    Chapter 463: Old Mei¡¯s Revenge n

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Old Mei was an intelligent person. Even as someone who had started from zero back then, he had managed to reach his current height. What was there for him to fear now? After all, the present him was a person with thebat power of a peak A-ss warrior. In a sense, he already possessed the qualifications to stand above the vast majority of this world.

    Old Mei pondered. "Even if all those things were taken away by Chen Feng, he won¡¯t be able to use them anyway. Even if he sells them, the amount of people who can actually make use of those secret arts aren¡¯t that high either. Therefore, he won¡¯t be able to sell them off anytime soon. There¡¯s no need for me to be too anxious." If it wasn¡¯t for his calm and intelligence, he would have ended up dead long ago. "Now... I need to think of a good n to get Chen Feng to deliver those secret arts back to me."

    Presently, he had no wish to face Chen Feng head on. Before obtaining all those secret arts, he had no intention of battling Chen Feng. All those 5-star secret arts were extremely suitable for Old Mei¡¯s use. Granted, they were not those exceptionally powerful abilities like his plum blossom me. However, the support capabilities of those secret arts were rather scary. If they were all used together, Old Mei¡¯sbat power would reach a whole new level.

    There were also those 6-star secret arts. Old Mei took in a deep breath as he thought of those. The six genes he had fused with were sufficient to fulfill the requirement for him to learn those 6-star secret arts he had gathered. Those 6-star secret arts were also the very keys he was relying on toplete his transformation. Evidently, his transformation had not ended on thepletion of his plum blossom me.

    Indeed, secret arts were something that could only be utilized by someone possessing the required gic abilities. However, was it an irond rule that one could only learn a single secret art? One ought to remember that even for someone with only a water-rted ability and a fire-rted ability, there were countless 2-star secret arts that the person could use, such as Sword of Ice and me, Absolute Waterme, Nine Layers of Ice and Fire, Gate of mes, Red Ocean, Unrestrained Water Volcano, Harmony of Water and me, Storm of Ice and Fire, and so on.

    This was the case for 6-star secret arts as well. However, due to the limitations imposed by the required abilities one needed to have before one could make use of a secret art, obtaining a suitable 6-star secret art was much harder. For a regr A-ss warrior, the act of obtaining a single 6-star secret art was already considered an extremely astonishing feat. Therefore, A-ss warriors were separated by several stages as well.

    Those without any 6-star secret arts were considered trash among A-ss warriors. Even if such a person reached thete stage of A ss, without a 6-star secret art, that person would still be considered trash. A vast majority of the A-ss warriors that had gathered at Othershore Mountain previously were such A-ss warriors. This was also why they had been driven crazy by the promise of 6-star secret arts by Old Mei¡¯s mission that they hadn¡¯t even heard of or seen before. This was the first type of A-ss warrior.

    After possessing a 6-star secret art, the warrior in question would obtain an extremely formidable core ability. These A-ss warriors were considered ordinary A-ss warriors. Possessing formidable strength and having advanced their level perfectly all the way to A-ss, these warriors were normally those with a certain amount of poprity. This was the second type of A-ss warrior.

    As for the third type of A-ss warrior, these were those with two or more 6-star secret arts in their possession. Such A-ss warriors were the more outstanding ones among their peers. Each of them was extremely powerful, and most of them were peak A-ss warriors. They were also considered to be the strongest among A-ss warriors.

    Naturally, those simr to Old Mei who possessed a single heaven-defying 6-star secret art were low in amount. After all, it was quite rare for a person to dedicate 10 years of his life just for a single ability. On top of that overpowered plum blossom me, Old Mei had also prepared five additional 6-star secret arts he could use. Try to imagine the strength of an A-ss warrior with six 6-star secret arts...

    "I will most definitely regain what is mine." Old Mei was resolute. He had maintained his patience for so many years. As such, he would not give up during this crucial moment where everything was on the verge of sess. After all, there was always someone stronger in this world. The only reason Old Mei had selected such a supete-stage ability for himself was to make it easier for him when he would attempt to surpass A ss in the future.

    The future him would most definitely be someone surpassing A ss. As such, the present him would most definitely not risk it and fight it out with Chen Feng. He was well ustomed with how perverse Chen Feng was. He had no intention of getting himself killed by some random urrence.

    "How should I get those 6-star secret arts from Chen Feng, then?"

    Suddenly, Old Mei thought of something. Even though he was not interested in facing Chen Feng, that did not mean he couldn¡¯t make use of those around Chen Feng...

    Old Mei sneered. "Hehehe." Wasn¡¯t this what those viin bosses in movies normally did? If so, he could most certainly do something simr as well.

    Hum¡ª

    A plum blossom flickered into existence before him.

    Old Mei sneered. "Chen Feng, I will make you regret your actions."

    Shua! Shua!

    The plum blossom bloomed.

    Before Old Mei¡¯s eyes, countless petals started falling. He had obtained quite a number of information about Chen Feng from the inte. And now, he used his plum blossom to analyze the information to obtain the information he required.

    Mhm... the several major characters around Chen Feng... To make it easier for Old Mei to control those he kidnapped and to facilitate the hostage exchange he was nning, he had limited the number of people his plum blossom would discover. Shortly after, Old Mei obtained the simple information of the several peoples close to Chen Feng.

    Old Mei frowned. "Let me see. Qin Hai... Wang Yao..."

    Since these two were among the first to appear from his plum blossom, they were evidently those who were closest to Chen Feng. Moreover, from the order in which their names had appeared, that person called Qin Hai should be even closer to Chen Feng.

    Mhm... you, then.

    Naturally, the main reason he selected Qin Hai was because he had only managed to obtain Qin Hai¡¯s information out of the two. Moreover, the inte had quite a lot of information pertaining to this Qin Hai as well. As for that Wang Yao, she was like a nk space. No information was avable. This caused Old Mei to be somewhat worried, hence his decision to select Qin Hai as his target. ording to the rumors, this Qin Hai was arade of Chen Feng¡¯s and had joined hands with Chen Feng on countless missions. They had gone through numerous dangers together. On top of that, Chen Feng had even gone to the Frozen Sea Tundra alone for Qin Hai¡¯s sake.

    Old Mei sneered. "Qin Hai... hmph. Open!" At hismand, three plum blossoms assembled together in front of him, turning into a whirlpool. Old Mei¡¯s eyes became sharp as he nned to cross space and travel directly to where Qin Hai was.

    Mhm...

    Shua! Shua!

    Light swirled around. Old Mei¡¯s consciousness drifted around with the assistance of his plum blossom, and he was able to locate Qin Hai shortly after.

    "Found you."

    A faint silhouette had seemingly appeared before Old Mei¡¯s vision.

    Old Mei sneered. "ying tricks?" He was quite clear on the strength of this Qin Hai. It was rumored that this was a friend Chen Feng had gained way back when. However, due to Qin Hai¡¯s strength being too weak, he had stopped moving together with Chen Feng. Such a person was someone perfect for Old Mei¡¯s n. If he could kidnap Qin Hai, Chen Feng would most certainly be ridden with guilt.

    Old Mei had seemingly considered everything possible. "Mhm..."

    Bang!

    He grabbed directly at the empty space in front of him. Right at this instant, that silhouette opened his eyes. With that, an extremely rming radiance appeared and a terrifying power started descending, akin to a fiend awakening from an abyss.

    "Bang!"

    Old Mei¡¯s consciousness trembled.

    Pu!

    A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. Before he could even react, his thread of consciousness was already shattered. His main body regained consciousness after suffering a grave injury.

    Fear was stered on Old Mei¡¯s face. "What was that..."

    In that instant earlier, he had felt like he hadid his eyes upon the grim reaper. That silhouette... what in the world was Qin Hai? Old Mei was horrified. This task that was supposed to be so simple had now be so troublesome. Qin Hai...

    Old Mei gulped before deciding to give up on Qin Hai. He had no idea what he had seen earlier. Perhaps that was someone guarding Qin Hai, or perhaps it was someone else. Regardless, capturing Qin Hai was no longer possible.

    Old Mei clenched his teeth. "Let¡¯s switch the target, then." There were still several other important people of Chen Feng¡¯s he could choose. However, he decided on Wang Yao. He tried once again to investigate thisdy, yet he again returned with no results. Regardless of where he searched, there would be no information pertaining to this youngdy. From the looks of it, this seemed to be just some ordinary unimportant youngdy? She seemed to be the sister of an ex-ssmate of Chen Feng¡¯s? That was the only information he was able to find on her. The amount of information he could find on the inte was truly too sparse.

    Chapter 464: Beating of His Life

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Old Mei heaved a sigh of relief. "Since there¡¯s no news about her, she should be a meremoner."

    Shua!

    Once again, he activated his plum blossom imprint.

    Hum¡ª

    The power of his soul bloomed as his thread of consciousness pierced through space before directly locking onto the position of that Wang Yao. His thread of consciousness drifted around andnded near her. Wang Yao...

    Old Mei moved forth and finally got a clear look at the youngdy in question. Surprising him, this youngdy had the appearance of someone around 13 or 14 years old. Presently, she seemed to be sleeping peacefully. The sight of her sleeping was so beautiful it caused one¡¯s heart to flutter.

    "Sleeping, huh..." Suddenly, a feeling of pity arose in Old Mei¡¯s heart. Has Chen Feng been hiding everything about himself from you because of this w in your body? You are obviously one year older than him and yet your physical appearance had remained young.

    Wang Yao¡¯s delicate appearance seemed capable of triggering a feeling of protectiveness from anyone looking at her. Even Old Mei could not escape feeling so.

    Old Meimented regretfully. Sigh... what a pity.

    Old Mei¡¯s sigh seemed to rm her as her eyes were opened shortly after. After opening her eyes, she gazed at Old Mei calmly. "Who are you?"

    Old Mei sighed. "I¡¯m sorry." If possible, he was not willing to spoil this enchanting sight of a slumbering beauty. s, for the sake of his strength, he would not let his emotions rule his actions. Pity? It was something that should not exist. Stretching his hand out, a small clump of me appeared before drifting forth slowly.

    Hum¡ª

    That me drifted toward Wang Yao while she watched on silently, seemingly incapable of realizing that she was in any sort of danger. This further amplified Old Mei¡¯s feeling that his current actions were indeed rather cruel.

    Old Mei sighed again at that thought. He watched on as his plum blossomnded on Wang Yao¡¯s body. Next, with a curious expression, the youngdy grabbed at the me.

    Wang Yao stared at the me in her hand in astonishment. "This me looks so magical."

    Instantly, Old Mei was dumbstruck. M-magical? Hold on, why hasn¡¯t the me injured her? Even though he had only utilized the me with the lowest intensity sufficient to trap her, she shouldn¡¯t be totally free from any damage after touching the me. Moreover, since when had she obtained the ability to manipte the plum blossom me created by him?

    Old Mei tried summoning the me back to him. "Return!" he bellowed. Unfortunately, the ownership of that me seemed to have changed the moment it had entered Wang Yao¡¯s hand as it no longer epted Old Mei¡¯smand.

    Instantly, Old Mei¡¯s scalp numbed. "Damn it!" He felt like something inconceivable had happened. Perhaps...

    Bang!

    An intense plum blossom me appeared on his hand. Without any hesitation, he unleashed the strongest plum blossom me he had upon Wang Yao. Next, with wide eyes, he watched on as his strongest plum blossom me that had been so domineering at Othershore Mountain became incapable of movement afternding on Wang Yao¡¯s palm.

    ??

    This time, Old Mei was truly stupefied. Ineffective? Even the strongest me was ineffective?

    "Such a me..." Wang Yao eximed in astonishment.

    Hum¡ª

    Apanied by a shrill cry, that me was instantly absorbed by Wang Yao. After that, Wang Yao nted her head as she pondered shortly before softly rubbing her tiny hands together.

    Shua!

    A small clump of me appeared there. That newly appeared me was actually exactly the same as Old Mei¡¯s plum blossom me.

    "This..."

    Instantly, an expression of extreme horror appeared in Old Mei¡¯s eyes. She had only plundered a single plum blossom me from him and yet she was already capable of creating her own version of the plum blossom me? This was something he had spent 10 years to create! What in the world was going on here? Who exactly was this youngdy here? Old Mei was copsing emotionally.

    "Thank you." Wang Yao expressed her gratitude before looking at him curiously. "Do you have any other mes?"

    A horrified expression appeared on Old Mei¡¯s face.

    Here at this ce, Old Mei had suffered the greatest humiliation he had ever felt and had also experienced the greatest horror he had ever felt. This youngdy seemed to be a fiend that had crawled out of hell itself. He had an odd feeling that before her, all his abilities would be ineffective.

    Old Mei waved his hands repeatedly. "No... no more."

    "Oh, if so, let me give you this as a present, then. It is proper, after all, to reciprocate when one receives a gift." Wang Yao waved her hand nonchntly. The me streaked toward Old Mei with a speed so fast he couldn¡¯t even react to it.

    Bang!

    His thread of consciousness copsed.

    Pu!

    A mouthful of blood was spurted out as Old Mei returned to reality. Once again, his plum blossom imprint had been destroyed.

    Old Mei was rmed. "How could this happen..." It was truly outside of his expectations that those close to Chen Feng were all so terrifying. Even if he ignored his attempt at kidnapping Qin Hai earlier, this Wang Yao girl was truly too horrifying as well...

    Damn it!

    Old Mei wiped away the blood on his body. In such a short period of time, he had lost two of his soul imprints.

    Old Mei was furious. "Damn it! Damn it all!" No matter what, he could not understand how Qin Hai and Wang Yao were so powerful, to the extent that his existence was something they could look down on. Peak A ss? They were most certainly more powerful than that. As he thought of those two, for the first time in his life, he felt true fear.

    Old Mei took in a deep breath before looking at the two spoiled imprints of his. "What should I do?" Now that he had suffered such disastrous loss, if he couldn¡¯t find something topensate for this, he would have suffered too great of a loss for nothing.

    Old Mei decided to select a different target. "Let¡¯s switch to a different target, then." After a short consideration, he decided to look for someone who was rather close to Chen Feng and had been with Chen Feng for quite a while. Moreover, the new target needed to be someoneparatively weak.

    Mhm...

    He was able to select a new target that fulfilled his requirements shortly after. After checking his target out online, he confirmed that this new target was most certainly an ordinary person. Back then, he had been the captain of some trashy gic squad of mere E-ss warriors. Subsequently, that person had slowly improved until he had reached C ss. Even if he was a genius, presently, he shouldn¡¯t be any stronger than a B-ss warrior.

    Mhm... this seems to be a feasible target.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around as, once again, Old Mei sent his thread of consciousness out and locked onto the target.

    There, within a dimly lit room, a baldy could be seen "wrestling" with a chick. The "battle" seemed to be rather intense as sweat sshed around while the ground beneath them trembled without stop.

    Hmph!

    As Old Mei looked at the baldy, he sneered as he concluded that this was indeed a mere regr person. A person with the emotions of a regr person, a person with the strength of a regr person. He could see that this baldy was merely a B-ss warrior. Instantly, with disdain, he waved his hand. A weak me drifted out toward the baldy. While all this happened, the baldy did not even notice the arrival of the me. Finally, when the plum blossom mended on the baldy¡¯s body, he screamed mournfully.

    Old Mei sneered. "A weakling indeed."

    Somewhat surprisingly, though, the "mournful scream" of that baldy¡¯s sounded somewhat off.

    "F*ck! Who in the world poked my chrysanthemum during the most crucial moment? Ah shit, I¡¯m ing¡¯!"

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah¡ª"

    The "mournful scream" of the baldy intensified.

    "How boring." The chick seemed to have obtained victory in their "battle," yet she seemed rather disappointed. Evidently, she was disappointed by the fact that she had failed to find someone capable of being her match. Disappointed, she shook her head as she turned around and left.

    "Hey, hey, hey, that¡¯s not what happened." The baldy exined himself hastily. "I am very ¡¯strong.¡¯ It¡¯s true! Hey..." s, the chick had already left him. Only now did the baldy turn around furiously, scanning around with his eyes before his gazended on Old Mei. "Turns out there¡¯s some weird thing here? Is this some soul or a thread of consciousness? Whatever. Who gives a sh*t what you are anyway."

    The raging Xu Fei charged at Old Mei.

    "Not dead? His defense is rather high, huh?"

    Old Mei was not bothered with Xu Fei¡¯s anger. Once again, he summoned a new plum blossom me, one that was more powerful than the earlier me.

    Bang!

    The me bloomed as it swept toward Xu Fei. rming him, from within that seemingly boundless clump of me, Xu Fei charged out. Before Old Mei¡¯s unbelieving gaze, Xu Fei¡¯s fistnded on him furiously.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Old Mei was punched down by Xu Fei¡¯s fist.

    ??

    Once again, Old Mei was stupefied to find that someone was beating him up once again. And this time, it was a B-ss warrior that was delivering the beating upon him?

 Chapter 465: Scammers. All Scammers!

    Chapter 465: Scammers. All Scammers!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Damn it! The furious Old Mei no longer cared if he could actually kidnap Xu Fei to threaten Chen Feng with. This was the third time he had suffered a beating today, and he was no longer capable of holding his anger in. His strongest me was directly unleashed: Path of ming Plum!

    Bang! Bang!

    The me bloomed, and a boundless red radiance erupted out. Horrifying him tremendously, that guy called Xu Fei merely charged through his me, not the slightest bit affected by that scary me of Old Mei¡¯s.

    Bang! Bang!

    Xu Fei rained his punches down as he furiously shouted, "Did your mother not teach you that it is very rude to interrupt someone in the midst of a ¡¯battle¡¯?"

    Bang!

    "You cursed old fart!"

    Bang!

    "You perverted peeping tom!"

    Bang!

    "Screw your mother!"

    As the punches rained down, Old Mei was thoroughly stupefied. He tried to retreat, yet with great sorrow, he found that he was no longer capable of retreating. His body had been grabbed by Xu Fei, not allowing him a chance to escape at all. As such, he could only watch on helplessly as he was pressed down on the ground and beaten up by Xu Fei. When it came to physical strength, Xu Fei was simply in a different league than him.

    Bang! Bang!

    All that Xu Fei had wanted to unleash upon the chick earlier yet failed to, he was unleashing upon this Old Mei now. Finally, this consciousness of Old Mei was beaten to death.

    Bang!

    His thread of consciousness copsed, returning him to his main body. His brain was still buzzing unendingly.

    ??

    He remained in daze there for 10 whole minutes. What in the world had he experienced? His brain was still buzzing unceasingly as he wondered. After a long time, he recovered from his stupor.

    He had actually been beaten up by B-ss trash? This wasn¡¯t the main issue here. The main issue here was that his plum blossom me had beenpletely ineffective against that person. How was that possible? Qin Hai, Wang Yao, and Xu Fei...

    For the first time, Old Mei started doubting his strength. He had once believed that once hepleted this supete-stage transformation of his, he would be unrivaled. Now, though, that did not seem to be the case. He could convince himself that it was natural for him to suffer defeat against Qin Hai and Wang Yao, whose great strength was definitely above his, but what was going on with that Xu Fei guy? Old Mei started doubting life itself. Perhaps... the plum blossom me was in actuality something not that powerful after all?

    Old Mei shook his head and steadied his thoughts. No! That¡¯s not possible! Hadn¡¯t he crushed so many A-ss warriors back then at Othershore Mountain? Perhaps it was because those people there had been people without an ability that countered him? No, that couldn¡¯t be true! Old Mei¡¯s confidence started swaying. Despite being aware that this should not be possible, after his three defeats in a row, especially his defeat by that B-ss Xu Fei, he truly doubted his life now.

    Calm down! I must calm down!

    Finally, Old Mei forcefully calmed himself down. As he looked at the list of names his plum blossom had generated earlier, he decided to stick to his n. The only reason for this was because he wanted to prove his worth. This time, he selected a person who had been together with Chen Feng quite frequently recently. Both of them were rather close. More importantly, that person was a mere B-ss warrior.

    "There shouldn¡¯t be any problems this time, right?" Old Mei mumbled. This target was a mere B-ss warrior. If there were truly so many B-ss warriors out there possessing abilities countering him, Old Mei reckoned that the 10 years he had spent in preparation would be totally pointless. After all, he had remained patient all these years for this single goal. Therefore, that would definitely not be the case. This time, he would most certainly be sessful.

    Hu¡ª

    He inhaled deeply.

    Shua!

    Light swirled before his eyes.

    Once again, the plum blossom me bloomed, stripping a thread of his consciousness out from him. That thread of consciousness stepped through space, locking onto his new target before appearing there as a soul imprint. There, one person could be seen. In front of that person was a mirror. In a seductive manner, he flicked his hair before speaking to the mirror, "Dear demonic mirror, please tell me, who¡¯s the most handsome guy here?"

    "In any case, that is not you," the demonic mirror replied coldly.

    "F*ck!" Without any hesitation, that person threw the mirror down before stamping his foot on it. "Screw you. I¡¯m the only person here. If I¡¯m not the most handsome one, who else can it be?"

    "Even if you break me, it won¡¯t hide your ugliness and the grief in your heart."

    That person raged. "Screw you!"

    Old Mei: "..."

    Was this the person called Kong Bai? He had never expected that this would be the sight that weed him immediately upon his arrival. As for that Kong Bai, he did not seem to have noticed Old Mei. This caused Old Mei¡¯s heart, which had failed several times earlier, to feel somewhatforted. Perhaps... this ambush would be sessful.

    Granted, it was rather shameless for an A ss to ambush a B ss, but then, Old Mei had failed three times consecutively so far. Now, he only wanted to regain his ego, and he no longer possessed any sense of shame. At this time, filled with resentment, Kong Bai picked up the demonic mirror. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked in a manner as if he had thought of something extremely smart. "Dear demonic mirror, who¡¯s the ugliest person here?"

    Since he was all alone here and he was not the most handsome one, he shouldn¡¯t be the ugliest person here as well, right?

    "Naturally, it¡¯s you," the demonic mirror answered instinctively, but it suddenly paused and corrected itself: "The old geezer as ugly as a chrysanthemum behind you."

    Kong Bai was overjoyed. "Indeed, it¡¯s not me. Hahaha." However, just as he was doneughing out loud, he felt that something was off. Abruptly, he turned around and was given quite a scare, "What the f*ck. What is this thing here? A-ss warrior?"

    Kong Bai¡¯s instinctive reaction was to flee without hesitation.

    "A normal B-ss warrior indeed!" Old Mei wasn¡¯t particrly bothered with Kong Bai¡¯s reaction. Rather, he was pleasantly surprised that this new target here was actually fearful of him.

    After four attempts, he had finally encountered a regr B-ss warrior who knew to flee when seeing an A-ss warrior. Old Mei was so touched that he felt himself tearing up at this. Hahahaha! Capture him! Capture him! After capturing him, all the secret arts wille back to me...

    Old Mei was immensely touched. s, just as he was about to start his pursuit, that Kong Bai guy stopped before looking at Old Mei with a rather amazed expression. Next, he looked at the demonic mirror.

    "Did you just say that he¡¯s uglier than me?"

    "Yes," the demonic mirror answered.

    "Hahahaha." At that, Kong Bai startedughing wildly before stopping and looking at Old Mei with a sinister gaze. "Hehe, dear you who is uglier than me... Hehe... Hehe... Finally, I have encountered someone uglier than me! Hehe... It¡¯s time for you to bear witness to the power of my demonic mirror! Hahaha!"

    Apanied by Kong Bai¡¯s wildughter, the mirror shone brightly.

    Next, at a certain location.

    Pu!

    A mouthful of blood spurted out. Back in his main body, with grief, Old Mei noted that his thread of consciousness had once again been destroyed.

    ???

    He was totally dumbfounded. The fourth soul imprint he had spent over a year to prepare had once again been cleanly destroyed. This time, the culprit was yet another B ss? Why? Old Mei was bewildered.

    From that day onward, those passing by this area found with surprise that there was an old geezer wandering around while unendingly mumbling to himself like a mental patient. The content of his mumbling was as follows:

    "What is going on with this world..."

    "What is going on with me..."

    "I can¡¯t even defeat some B-ss trash..."

    "You are the ugly one! Your entire family is ugly!"

    "With this trash plum blossom, you dared to call yourself a supete-stage gic warrior..."

    "Scammers. You are all scammers..."

    Curious, some of the passersby asked, "What¡¯s going on with him?"

    "Looks like someone who went crazy after being provoked too excessively."

    "Poor him."

    "Let him be, don¡¯t approach him. It is said that mes will materialize randomly around this old geezer. Quite scary, in fact. I wonder which expert it was that provoked him into this state."

    "True," the other person agreed. There, only a wandering old geezer that mumbled unendingly remained.

 Chapter 466: Heh, My Old Friend

    Chapter 466: Heh, My Old Friend

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At a certain location, the sky above was covered with dense dark clouds. Dark rain descended without stop, yet the numerous raindrops were all seemingly pounding onto thin air, not a single one of them capable ofnding on the ground beneath them.

    A person was there, looking up at the sky. "The sky is getting darker."

    "Indeed." Lu Hun¡¯s gaze intensified. "Unfortunately, Chen Feng was able to ruin the Mysterious Organization..."

    The other person replied faintly, "In any case, since the devil race is already awakening, there is no longer any meaning to its existence. For now, we should be thinking about how to ensure that our n ispleted without any hups. I keep having a bad feeling about those devil race folks..."

    Suddenly, Lu Hun asked, "Should we seek Master¡¯s advice, then?"

    "There¡¯s no need for that. Do you really think that Master is not aware of this?" The other person stared ahead and continued, "I¡¯m afraid Master had already seen all thising long ago..."

    At the same time, at a certain faraway sea, an old man was pulling up numerous bones from the deep sea before joining them together. Next, his hands shimmered with a dim radiance, causing flesh to start growing on the bones.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Light swirled around. The skeleton started being filled up with flesh, and along with the reconstruction, signs of life started appearing, while the owner of the skeleton regained its previous appearance. This was actually a tortoise. On the shell of the tortoise, some faint words could be seen. A badge was taken out by the old man before it was hung around the neck of the tortoise. The silver badge was shrouded by a bizarre radiance, and the word "Duma" could be clearly seen on it.

    "My old friend, this time, don¡¯t run from me anymore..." the old man muttered. Suddenly, the old man frowned as he rubbed his belly. "I¡¯m hungry. Time to look for something to eat."

    At that thought, he entered the sea only to find that, sadly, nothing edible could be found. Next, his gaze moved around beforending on the tortoise.

    "Mhm..."

    Bang¡ª

    A clump of me appeared. Shortly afterward, some delicious tortoise meat was done cooking. With a satisfied expression, the old man cut the meat into chunks and started eating them.

    It has been quite a while since Ist tasted this delicacy...

    After a long time, all that was left of the tortoise was a pile of bones.

    Mhm...

    As the old man looked at the pile of bones, a feeling of sadness rose within him.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance swirled out, and next, the tortoise was once again resurrected.

    The old man patted the tortoise¡¯s head. "My old friend, wee back."

    "Scram!" the tortoise roared angrily. "Screw you! I had only just returned, yet you were already feasting on me," the tortoise cursed.

    "Hey, Didn¡¯t I restore you after that?" The old man shook his head and sighed. "You must maintain a refined attitude, a refined attitude."

    The tortoise roared furiously, "Restore, my ass! Back then, when you reared me, wasn¡¯t the reason purely to satisfy your appetite? Damn you. I was truly blind back then for allowing you to use me as both mount and food, living a life worse than a livestock. Now that I see your true nature, I¡¯m not working for you anymore. Not even if you kill me!" This was also why it had escaped back then. This was truly too excessive. This old geezer was totally a glutton who had a rare preference for the meat of tortoises. After this old man had started rearing this tortoise, this tortoise had suffered the fate of being eaten by that old geezer once per month. That was why it had escaped in the first ce.

    When it had escaped back then, it had been resolute that it would do whatever it wished moving forward without a care for the consequences. It would no longer suffer any restrictions. Unexpectedly, it had encountered freaks like Chen Feng and Wang Yao and ended up dead before long...

    However, even death was not truly vexing for the tortoise. After all, it had years of experience dying all the time. Therefore, the tortoise was already used to dying. Unexpectedly, it hadn¡¯t even managed to stay dead for long before being found by the old geezer and once again being resurrected...

    The old man chuckled. "What a naughty tortoise."

    The tortoise was extremely furious. "Naughty my *ss! Why can¡¯t you switch to a different tortoise for this?"

    "No, it wouldn¡¯t be the same." The old man looked at the tortoise lovingly. "A mysterious crystal snow tortoise like you is a breed so rare that one can hardly meet one of you even in 10,000 years. Your meat is so incredibly tasty and filled with energy. You are the only one I was able to find after searching everywhere."

    Tortoise: "..."

    Curse this rarity! Suddenly, the rain seemed to grow heavier.

    Whoosh!

    Noticing that the old man was distracted, the tortoise was overjoyed and charged into the sea immediately before escaping. The old man gave it a nce, yet he wasn¡¯t really bothered. Instead, the old man maintained his gaze on the sky and stared nkly.

    "It¡¯s finally starting?"

    ***

    At the Gic Union, the attention of countless people was attracted by the sudden heavy downpour.

    "The rain seems to have changed."

    "True. It¡¯s heavier now, and the raindrops are more concentrated as well."

    The technicians of the Gic Union were able to finish their analysis speedily. "The density of the unknown particles in the rain has increased."

    "Is this happening everywhere?"

    "Yes. The ck rain has grown heavier worldwide. Nothing major has happened recently. The cities have remained the same as well. However, it is said that the bizarre phenomenon has been happening quite frequently at the unknown regions. A lot of lightning is appearing, and the sky and ground are trembling without stop.

    "Unknown regions, huh... There is nothing capable of blocking the ck rain in those ces."

    Everyone was anxious. The unknown regions were destends, and those were also the only regions outside of their control in this world. As the ck rain descended, those experts that had existed once upon a time there were seemingly being restored. The bizarre phenomenon seemed to be the signal for the start of something even scarier.

    "Ignore the unknown regions for now. Presently, what is the location where the ck rain is the heaviest?"

    "Star City."

    At this, they all nked.

    "The headquarters of the Gene Production Association?"

    "Yes."

    "That ce..."

    They exchanged nces, yet they did not appear too surprised at this development.

    "Looks like the information given by Chen Feng is urate. The target of the ck rain and the origin of the phenomenon is the restoration of the devil race."

    "Devil race... For now, set our yet unknown target as the devil race," the headmanded.

    The rest nodded. "Yes!"

    "Since the information given by Chen Feng has been verified, let¡¯s start our n. This time, let us do battle with them at Star City. I want those fellows to have a good look at us. We, the new age humans, are not akin to those barbarians back then that they were able to ughter at will," the head stated, hammering down the nail of confirmation on the path they should undertake.

    "Yes!" the rest howled. Their voices filled with battle intent seemed to pierce even the heavens. At Star City, the ck rain was still falling, and the sky was still as dark as always. The entire city was brightly lit by their lighting systems, while the residents there were still busy with their affairs as always. These people were seemingly not bothered at all by whatever major incident that was about toe their way.

    High above, in the ck sky, suddenly, a cloud appeared before assuming the form of a pair of huge eyes. The eyeballs formed of cloud started gazing at this city attentively, and as it noted that everyone in the city was still behaving like normal, it dissipated in satisfaction, like it had never been there in the first ce.

    St! St!

    The raindropsnded on Star City¡¯s barrier, the pattering sound clear for all to hear.

    Shua!

    A cold wind brushed past. Somewhat surprisingly, these producers that usually had low resistance to the cold were not at all affected, none of them shuddering from the cold. Was this because of the wind not being cold enough, or was it because of these producers now had resistance against the cold? Nobody seemed to have noticed this. In the sky, darkness converged apanied by the asional rumbling of thunder. A bizarre phenomenon thus appeared here, signaling the arrival of true darkness.

    Othershore Mountain.

    The mission issued previously by Old Mei had already beenpleted by Chen Feng, but due to the eruption in poprity of Chen Feng¡¯s feat with his God Punisher, this ce was still filled to the brim. Everyone was targeting the hillsea beasts. This time, they were not only hunting young hillsea beasts¡ªthey were also hunting adult beasts. As long as they managed to obtain a single hillsea beast and produce it into a gene reagent, they would stand a chance at creating an ability set simr to Chen Feng¡¯s God Punisher.

    Due to the huge amount of people flooding here, this ce had lost its former reputation as a forbidden area shrouded by a sombre atmosphere. Regardless of which forbidden area it was, when there were thousands or tens of thousands of people stamping around it, that ce would no longer be able to main its mysteriousness. And today, the effect brought forth by Chen Feng¡¯s God Punisher demonstrated itself clearly. Were A-ss warriors exalted existences? Yes, they were. In any given ordinary city, there would at most be one or two A-ss warriors. Each of them was an existence that could dominate an entire region.

    But then, the number of human cities in this world was truly too great, so numerous that one could not even begin to imagine the number. Therefore, when the numerous powers across the globe finished their preparations and sent their people here to this Othershore Mountain, this ce was filled with an ocean of people. Amazingly, all of them were entirely A-ss warriors. When the A-ss warriors that had been remaining here since Chen Feng¡¯s incident noticed this, they were indeed given quick a scare.

    "Crazy. They have all gone crazy."

    "Why are they here?"

    "For the God Punisher¨Cbased ability set, I suppose."

    "Man, I was still nning on capturing a couple hillsea beasts to earn some extra ie for myself."

    "You can forget about that. Would you believe me if I told you that even if you manage to capture one, you won¡¯t be able to leave alive with it?"

    They sighed. "True." In the end, they decided to give up on this. Perhaps it was due to their bad luck, but they hadn¡¯t been able to locate any hillsea beasts since the past two days. Now that there was this huge amount of people crowding here, they no longer had any hope of seeding. Therefore, they could only give up.

    "Let¡¯s leave, then. This is no longer a ce we can mess around at."

    They were aware that with the arrival of these truly terrifying existences, the hillsea beasts of the Othershore Mountain would suffer for real. As far as they could remember, thest time something simr had happened was during the discovery of a species called mysterious crystal snow tortoise?

    The only difference with this incident was that thest time it happened, it had been due to that tortoise being such a delicacy that all the gluttons had been induced. Because of that, the tortoise had gone extinct. This time, the same uproar was happening due to these people trying to obtain benefits for themselves.

    "I¡¯m afraid that, in the future, we will no longer have any chances to see hillsea beasts..."

    With a sigh, they left. Soon, a huge group of new arrivals stepped into Othershore Mountain. Countless rarely seen experts were wandering around Othershore Mountain seeking for traces of hillsea beasts. rming all of them, nothing could be found.

    "Damn it! Why is there not a single one of them here?"

    They were all shocked at this discovery. It was rumored that there were a huge amount of hillsea beasts here at this Othershore Mountain. If so, why were none of them to be seen now? Had all of them been killed by Chen Feng and the earlier group of people here? That shouldn¡¯t have been possible.

    "Could it be that they hid themselves after sensing danger?" some of them guessed. Such powerful beasts were normally equipped with a sharp danger sense.

    They decided to continue their search. "Search for them!" With so many A-ss warriors gathered here, how was it possible for them to fail at finding these beasts? s, even after searching the entire mountain, not a glimpse of a hillsea beast could be seen. Some of the warriors were so angry that the entire Othershore Mountain was leveled. Even after that, nothing was found. These greatly coveted hillsea beasts had seemingly vanished from the face of the world.

    "They have truly vanished?"

    "Are you guys the ones ying tricks here? I heard that you two brothers have illusion abilities capable of altering the look of thend, ensuring that all one can see is illusions."

    "Are you blind? If we were powerful enough to shroud several thousand A-ss warriors in an illusion, you would be the first we kill, you ass!"

    "Come at me, then!"

    They started arguing. As for the rest, they gave those two a cold nce before looking around, pondering what exactly it was that had happened here. Inferring, analyzing, and all sorts of other methods were employed, yet nothing was found. Regardless of what they did, nothing could be found.

    "Nothing can be seen clearly."

    "Aren¡¯t you the self-proimed Half-Immortal Qiao, the seer? How could you fail to see anything at all?"

    "It was blocked."

    "Blocked?"

    "Yes. It¡¯s not that I can¡¯t see anything. Rather, the only thing I can see is a nk space of nothingness."

    "Isn¡¯t that the same as seeing nothing?" the others replied with disdain.

    Half-Immortal Qiao raged. "No, it¡¯s not the same. When my ability works normally, I am able to see clearly. However, when it fails, I can¡¯t see anything at all. Now, though, I can actually see something, but that something I see is entirely unclear. Everything appeared like a nk void. Do you guys understand now?"

    "Isn¡¯t that the same as seeing nothing?" they yet again replied with disdain.

    Half Immortal Qiao: "..."

    A different person with a simr divining ability replied, "Let me clear some doubts. In short, the things we normally see when divining can be ssified as something shown to us in pixels. If our ability fails, it¡¯s simr to losing the signal. But now, the only thing we see is a mosaic..."

    Everyone gained understanding. "I see." As for Half-Immortal Qiao, he became speechless. So one has to talk in such manner for these people to understand?

    Everyone became doubtful. "How could this have happened?"

    Suddenly, someone stated, "I have actually encountered something simr before. People are always saying that such a blockade is very mysterious and abstruse, capable of blocking everything, ensuring that we can see nothing at all. However, I believe instead that this is the most idiotic course of action. This is because, in this entire world, only one faction uses such a method. Without even divining anything, I know who it is that is behind all this."

    That person ended with a sneer.

    "Who?" the rest asked curiously.

    "Mysterious Organization," that person spat.

    Instantly, the rest gained understanding. "It¡¯s them?" So it was the Mysterious Organization? This was an organization initially only known to the Gic Union. However, because of several major incidents involving them, their existence was no longer hidden. Now, everyone knew of them. Everyone was aware that there was such a hidden terrorist organization. As such, every evil deed in existence was now med on them. Evidently, what had happened here was med on them as well.

    Previously, someone had tried using simr divining abilities for several major incidents, and simrly, the result was a nk piece of nothingness. After studying it, they noted that this was something only the Mysterious Organization did. Naturally, none of them was aware that, in fact, this nk piece of nothingness was actually an effect of spirit sea wood.

    "This organization is courting death!"

    "I heard that their headquarters were destroyed by Chen Feng. That is the only reason their existence was leaked. Now that everyone is already aware of them, I truly wonder how much longer they can keep hiding."

    "True."

    They were all feeling unhappy. Evidently, they were also not aware that the leak of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s existence wasn¡¯t due to the destruction, as they believed. Rather, it was because Chen Feng had plundered all of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s spirit sea wood. As such, the Mysterious Organization was no longer able to block their headquarters from divination, thus causing their location to be leaked.

    "Hehe, I heard that they have secret bases at various major cities?"

    "I think so."

    "Let¡¯s mess them up."

    "Do they truly think that they are the king of the underground, daring to eveny hands on the hillsea beasts?"

    They were all furious. And thus, the furious experts returned from the Othershore Mountain and proceeded to destroy all the different branches of the Mysterious Organization. Once again, the Mysterious Organization was dealt a heavy blow. As Lu Hun and the rest received this update, they were all dumbfounded as well. Gone? The great Mysterious Organization was going to be wiped out?

    Chapter 468: The Strongest Braking Method in History

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    What? Lu Hun was somewhat stupefied. Despite the previous damage dealt to the Mysterious Organization, the damage had been limited to only their headquarters, once by the Gic Union and once by Chen Feng. But then, both those incidents had only affected their headquarters. Their experts scattered worldwide and their branches in various cities were in fact the actual foundation of their power.

    Hence, it was rather unexpected that, in a single day, the entire organization was destroyed. Those people that had returned from Othershore Mountain had seemingly gone crazy. These people who shouldn¡¯t have worked together at all had worked together with much fervour to level the Mysterious Organization¡¯s headquarters. It seemed like the A-ss warriors of the entire world had banded together against the Mysterious Organization.

    ???

    Even now, Lu Hun was still utterly confused. Although the Mysterious Organization was no longer of any use to them, this was still an organization that was helpful in information gathering or in taking care of misceneous tasks. Due to this, Lu Hun and his fellow apprentice brothers had been maintaining contact with the Mysterious Organization.

    Beyond their expectations, the entirety of the Mysterious Organization was reduced to nothingness in a single night. When he finally found out the reason, Lu Hun was even more dumbfounded. Due to the hillsea beasts? The numerous experts that had failed to find any hillsea beasts had unleashed their anger upon the Mysterious Organization?

    What in the world? Lu Hun truly couldn¡¯tprehend the reason those people had med their failing to find any hillsea beasts on the Mysterious Organization. It was truly mysterious! If Lu Hun wasn¡¯t tied up by the matter of the soon-to-be-revived devil race, he would most certainly venture out to personally beat up all those fellows. What they had done was too excessive!

    And yet this was merely the start of what was toe. Apart from the various branches that had been destroyed, their members were killed one after another as well. Even those who had been able to escape by fluke were being hunted to no end. Now, this powerful organization that used to be able to influence the entire world ceased existing.

    Lu Hun looked at the person beside him. "Don¡¯t you have anything to say about this?" This person was the actual leader of the Mysterious Organization, right?

    "Since the Mysterious Organization haspleted the purpose of its existence, it no longer matters if its existence continues or not," Qin Hai replied indifferently.

    Lu Hun snorted coldly. "You..."

    Despite not being the actual leader of the Mysterious Organization, Lu Hun had been the one who had spent the most time there, evenpared to the leader. Hence, it was natural for him to be upset by this.

    "Concentrate on what matters for now. Afterpleting our n regarding the devil race, we will naturally be able to find time to deal with what happened to the Mysterious Organization," a different person stated coldly.

    "All right." Lu Hun gave up with much reluctance. However, his heart was still filled with hatred. If he was able to figure out which bastard it was that had caused the hillsea beasts to vanish and thenid the me on the Mysterious Organization, he would most definitely deal that person his due. Presently, in Lu Hun¡¯s heart, this person had been upgraded to be his second most hated person. As for the one upying first ce, it was naturally Chen Feng.

    Lu Hun¡¯s killing intent surged as he thought, I will most certainly not let either of them off!

    At this time, in a certain unknown region, numerous huge figures could be seen. Streaking amid the wild, they moved as fast as a storm. Around their bodies, an extremely terrifying power bubbled about. These people were precisely the barbarians. After a time of tempering, the squad trained by Chen Feng back then was already reasonably developed. From the barbarian vige, a huge group of powerful geniuses had appeared.

    Shua! Shua!

    As the barbarians streaked out of the thick bush to reveal themselves, an astonishing sight appeared. Mounted below them were all hillsea beasts. With the huge size of their bodies, these hillsea beasts were just nice to serve as the barbarians¡¯ mounts. Naturally, the hillsea beasts were not ones who would submit so easily. Therefore...

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Beneath the dark sky, numerous colorful radiances flickered without stop. The furious hillsea beasts were unleashing numerous powerful abilities toward the barbarians. Toward the end, they were even unleashing God Punishers. Unfortunately for the hillsea beasts, it was all in vain. The hillsea beasts were all beaten up by the barbarians that had selected them as mounts. What joke was this? The barbarians were all immune to energy, yet these hillsea beasts were sting energy at them?

    And thus, the hillsea beasts started suffering a cycle of being beaten continuously. If one beating failed to tame them, they were beaten further. Ultimately, these lofty beasts were all beaten into submission. They truly had no choice but to submit, as those who refused would continue having pain delivered to them. Just like that, this squad of barbarians that had already been formidable obtained their own mounts that were simrly powerful. The initial barbarian infantry had now been transformed into barbarian cavalry, officially bing a tribe with mounts.

    Chen Feng was immensely satisfied as he witnessed all this. "Not bad." After trading the young hillsea beasts for the mission rewards of Old Mei, he had been thinking of how to optimally deal with these beasts. His decision was to let the barbarians have the hillsea beasts as mounts. With their huge size, those hillsea beasts were simply perfect as mounts for the barbarians.

    After making his decision, Chen Feng had gathered all the barbarians and carried all the hillsea beasts back to the barbarian vige. Indeed, the barbarians had forcefully carried the beasts back to their vige. Indeed, the hillsea beasts were powerful and had numerous energy-based abilities. Unfortunately, all this was ineffective against the barbarians. Facing the barbarians, the hillsea beasts could only rely on their fangs, and because of that, the barbarians were able to carry all of them back here.

    Naturally, after carrying the hillsea beasts back here, taming them was only the foundation for their subsequent ns. The ultimate goal would be to teach these beasts to obey differentmands. Only when reaching the point where allmands were obeyed unequivocally and the mount and the rider were akin to a single entity would the true power of cavalry be demonstrated. After a day of training, they had indeed reached a certain degree ofpatibility.

    "Stop," Chen Feng ordered.

    Shua!

    Upon hearing Chen Feng, all the barbarians assumed a solemn expression and stopped their beasts within the shortest time possible. Indeed, they had ensured that themand was thoroughly performed. However, the method in which they had done it caused one to be speechless.

    Bang!

    A particr barbarian could be seen punching his mount to stop it. Mhm... Indeed, he had managed to stop his mount. Immensely proud, he looked around at hispanions with disdain. Next, with an extremely ttering expression, he looked at Chen Feng. His unsaid words were stered all over his expression: "Look at me! I am the one who stopped the fastest!"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He truly did not know what to say in response. Praise him? As for the other barbarians, they weren¡¯t any better off. Each of them utilized different bizarre methods to force their mounts to stop. For example, some of them simply hopped down the mount before dragging the mount¡¯s tail to stop it with force...

    You guys are too excessive! They are your pets! They will be yourrades in your future battles! In treating them like this, are you guys not worried that they will be the cause of your death in battle? This is truly... Hold on. Chen Feng sighed and was about to reprimand them when he saw an astonishing sight.

    A particr barbarian was unlike all others. With his huge body, his foot mmed into the ground before pressing the mount beneath him onto the ground, forcing it to stop by way of friction. On the ground, a lengthy mark was left behind as the mount slid along the ground until it stopped. A deeper mark was in the middle, with two marks beside the deep mark. As Chen Feng watched, his jaw was left hanging. Was this the legendary penile brake?[1] 1 Holy sh*t! This was too excessive!

    Chen Feng looked at the hillsea beast that all appeared extremely indignant. His head ached as he thought of how to deal with this. The barbarians had indeed improved in terms of strength, but the way in which they thought still left much to be desired.

    St! St!

    It was at this moment that the rain seemed to grow heavier. Not far away, amid the darkness, some sort of power seemed to be bubbling up from the ck soil that had been eroded by the ck rain. Chen Feng nced over with his cold gaze before killing intent shed in his eyes.

    "Is it... finally starting?"

 Chapter 469: Full Invasion!

    Chapter 469: Full Invasion!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Star City.

    The rain was growing heavier and the sky bing darker. The dark clouds rolled through the sky akin to a demon, nting fear in one¡¯s heart. The entirety of Star City was brightly lit, seemingly trying to disperse this darkness altogether. s, due to the unceasing descent of the ck rain, the range at which themps could shine was seemingly decreasing.

    From the defensive barrier surrounding Star City, noises could be heard without fail. ck raindrops werending on the barrier without stop before slowly sliding downward,nding outside Star City. After undergoing a reinforcement by the Gic Union and some revisions, this city was not the least bit affected by the ck rain, causing the rain to act like some passersby, tumbling everywhere around the city itself. After all, this was a city floating above the sky.

    Hua! Hua!

    Suddenly, the rain became much heavier. In Star City, a lot of people stopped their footsteps and looked at the sky, seemingly somewhat anxious. Despite that, the thin defensive barrier was still as firm as ever. Next, rolling thunder cracked, and with that, a dazzling radiance appeared, granting a sudden brightness to the dark world. Lightning appeared up in the sky, interwoven together akin to a spider web.

    Bang! Bang!

    The lightning thundered.

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    "Lightning is appearing suddenly?"

    "However, the rain is a ck rain, and even the lightning doesn¡¯t seem like a normal lightning..."

    Some of them were looking at the sky. s, this seemed to be a mere start of what was toe. Along with the lightning shes and rumbling thunder, countless bizarre phenomena appeared, and a single ray of astonishing gold radiance surged out from space. So bright was this gold ray that all the lightning shes were ovepped by it. The gold surged out unendingly,nding from the blue dome of heaven. Only when it neared them did the people there find with astonishment that this gold ray was in fact a weapon.

    This was a pole shining brightly with a gold radiance. This pole was thick and sturdy. Akin to lightning, it smashed upon that thin defensive barrier surrounding Star City.

    Ka! Ka!

    Space started trembling.

    That weapon had been moving so fast that along its path of descent that space itself was ruptured. Despite this, it still failed to directly prate the defensive barrier with a single strike.

    Hum¡ª

    After trembling slightly, that thin barrier was restored to its initial condition.

    A certain someone at the corner of Star City sneered. "How funny." What joke was this? Did the attacker believe that the only function of the barrier was to defend against the ck rain? The moment the information provided by Chen Feng had been verified, he had reced the entire barrier. In fact, everything here had been changed. Presently, the Star City¡¯s defensive barrier was not some simple ion defensive barrier. Rather, it was a defensive barrier that this person had prepared with utmost care, a barrier capable of defending against an attack from even a peak A-ss warrior. The name of this barrier was World Cmity, signifying its ability to defend against even a cmity capable of destroying the entire world.

    The man¡¯spanion, however, seemed rather anxious. "Will this work?" After all, that golden weapon truly looked quite terrifying.

    "Don¡¯t worry; this is my new invention. This is just the start. Soon, you will see the strongest point of this barrier."

    At this moment, the skypsed into sudden silence. The erupting golden attack earlier had seemingly never appeared, akin to a mere fragment of one¡¯s imagination. Evidently, the attackers had never expected that their attack on Star City would actually be resisted. Logically, their speedy ambush was not something Star City could defend against in time. Was it because this ce already had such a powerful defense?

    Apanied by a light bellow... "Disperse!"

    Hum¡ª

    A bizarre force undted outward from the sky. The clouds enveloping the dark sky suddenly dispersed, revealing numerous figures with rather scary appearances. Their bodies had seemingly transformed into beasts with all sorts of formidable and mysterious tattoos, beasts that were emanating a formidable power that caused one¡¯s heart to flutter. High above in the sky, numerous devil race members appeared. They wereprised of all sorts of never-before-seen life-forms. They were precisely the devil race.

    These devil race members had initially arrived fiercely together with the gold ray. However, due to Star City¡¯s defensive barrier remaining, they were seemingly at a loss as to what to do. Should they still continue charging down or not? Should theynd or wait up here? This group of ferocious-looking devils could now only hover up there with rather awkward smiles while trying to not lose their imposing bearing.

    The sky sunk into a momentary stillness. This sudden counter of Star City¡¯s had indeed shattered their n. Initially, they were supposed to tear apart the defensive barrier of Star City and then invade it. Next, the ck rain would be allowed to drop into this city, transforming the people here into offerings for the awakening of the devil race.

    However, it would seem like the humans had indeed prepared themselves in advance? They had indeed underestimated these people them. However, the awakening of their lord...

    After a long pause, a bizarre character started spreading up in the sky. This was precisely the character representing the word "kill" in the devil race¡¯snguage.

    Bang!

    The radiance intensified as the devil race members all started unleashing their strongest avable attacks. Since the weapon had failed to rip apart this barrier, they would do it personally.

    Bang! Bang!

    Numerous ferocious-looking beasts descended. Their sharp ws and weapons were all aimed at the defensive barrier. However, at the moment their attacks connected, they found with astonishment that their attacks actually phased through the barrier beforending directly into Star City. That seemingly powerful defensive barrier was not defending at all!

    Shua! Shua!

    Next, a heavy downpour started descending from the sky. However, not a single drop of rain was able tond in the city. This bizarre defensive barrier actually possessed a filtering function to it. However...

    "Idiotic humans!" stated a particr devil race member with an alligator head with a fierce expression. Did these humans truly believe that they would be fine only defending against the ck rain? Hehe, if they were to kill all these humans instead, would there still be a point to the defensive barrier? After all, this was still a ce controlled by mere gene producers... This thought had only surfaced in the devil race member¡¯s brain for a brief moment when suddenly...

    Shua! Shua!

    All the "producers" that were wandering around the city earlier took off their robes, revealing their true appearances. These people were actually experts from the Gic Union.

    Bang!

    The terrifying power of A-ss warriors surged.

    With the early warning from Chen Feng, those producers with nobat power had long ago been dispatched elsewhere on different missions. Those left behind here were true experts. They had prepared for this long ago.

    One of them sneered. "We have been waiting for you guys."

    "So you ugly fellows are the so-called devil race?"

    "Hehe, how are you guys different from some livestock with intelligence?"

    "Kill them. What¡¯s the point talking so much with these cannon fodder?"

    Pu!

    Blood started sttering about as one devil race member after another dropped down. Despite the strength of the devil race, the gic warriors left here were, after all, the strongest among the Gic Union members. Each of them was so powerful that they caused one to feel flustered. The devil race members were simply helpless facing them.

    "Howl!"

    The howls resounded without stop as the devil race members appeared without stop only to copse one after another. Facing these powerful gic warriors, the devil race members couldn¡¯t even resist the first round of attacks. The only thing they could do was swarm the perimeter with sheer numbers.

    "So this is the devil race?"

    "Hehe. Even if this is a mere vanguard of cannon fodder, they are still too weak, right?"

    "Try to save your energy consumption. These cannon fodder are merely to exhaust us."

    "Don¡¯t worry."

    Everyone had cold and detached expressions. They had prepared sufficient energy just for this one battle. War of attrition? The newly awakened devil race would not be able topete against them in this aspect. s, right at this moment, their expressions changed suddenly. That was because they found out that when the blood of the devil race membersnded on the ground, it turned ck.

    "Could it be..."

    "This is bad!"

    "The ck rain has been injected into the bodies of these devil race members!"

    Instantly, their bodies chilled. None of them had expected that the devil race would employ such a method of sending the ck rain into Star City. The first batch of the attackers were not merely cannon fodder; they were also suicide troops!

    "ck! It¡¯s all turning ck!"

    Everyone looked down at the soil below them, which had never been tainted by the ck rain so far but was now turning ck under the suicide attacks of the devil race.

    "Howl!"

    "Howl!"

    The howls resounded without stop.

    Kill!

    The devil race members swarmed out of the darkness unendingly. However, different than the previous batch, the present devil race members wereprised of a single n. All of them were huge and plump with a short and thin tail trailing behind them, resembling tadpoles. They weren¡¯t particrly powerful in terms ofbat power. However, their advantage was their sheer quantity as they surged forth in a seemingly endless torrent.

    Pu! Pu!

    After being killed, ck liquid would spurt out of their bodies, dying the soil ck. They were precisely the n with the strongest multiplicative ability among the devil race. Despite the fact that it hadn¡¯t been long since they had reawakened, they had already multiplied themselves to the point that they reached an extremely terrifying amount. Therefore, when the defensive barrier of Star City had been revealed, these tadpole beasts had been unleashed by the devil race as a trump card as well.

    "This won¡¯t do... At this speed, it won¡¯t be long until all the soil here is tainted ck."

    Everyone was anxious as they saw this.

    "Old Li, with your World Cmity barrier that is seemingly so amazing, you can¡¯t even block out these damnable cannon fodder?" one of them bellowed.

    Old Li was furious. "Yes I can! However, it requires the full activation of this barrier. It won¡¯t be able tost long if we do that."

    "To hell with that. Fully activate the barrier now," that person roared. "If we don¡¯t keep them outside the barrier, who knows what terrifying monsters will start awakening within the city?"

    Old Li took in a deep breath. "Fine."

    Shua!

    He pointed midair.

    Hum¡ª

    An incorporeal undtion spread out noiselessly. And now, the devil race members that had been charging in were all blocked outside the barrier.

    "Good opportunity! Attack!"

    Bang!

    Star City started its counterattack. Fully charged anti-aircraft cannons, A-ss gic warriors, and everything they had was unleashed at the same time, killing all the cannon fodder.

    Pu! Pu! Pu!

    The ck rain sttered around as the devil race members died en masse. However, not a single drop was able tond within the city.

    Hu¡ª

    They heaved a sigh of relief at this sight. s, right at this moment, the devil race unleashed a new attack. Numerous powerful attacks started descending. With that, the initially firm defensive barrier started tottering.

    They were all shocked. "What¡¯s going on?"

    Old Li clenched his teeth. "We can¡¯tst any longer. In this world, a defensive barrier capable of blocking against all attacks simply does not exist, let alone a barrier capable of defending against these stupidly powerful attacks of the devil race."

    "Return for now, then..."

    Just as these words left that person¡¯s mouth.

    Shua!

    That gold pole appeared once again and smashed down with a terrifying might.

    Bang!

    The gold radiance intensified.

    Pu!

    Instantly, the defensive barrier copsed. From the sky, the ck rain started sshing downward.

    Shua! Shua! Shua!

    Like a roaring river, the ck rainnded on the ground within the city. The soil within Star City started turning ck at a speed visible to the naked eye, and an rming aura started leaking from the earth.

    "It¡¯s finally...ing?"

    Everyone was in a heavy mood despite this being a development they had foreseen. Initially, the thin barrier had been the only thing keeping the rain out. With the strength of the devil race members, it was rather easy for them to rip this barrier apart. The invention of the World Cmity barrier by Old Li had indeed granted everyone present a sliver of hope. Unfortunately, this hope had beenpletely crushed by the devil race. Ultimately, despite the fact that a huge amount of the devil race members still had their consciousness in a hazy state, the devil race were beings with intelligence.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    The air trembled as the full invasion of the devil race began. As the ck rain was finally falling into the city, the devil race no longer had any misgivings. Not having to think of ways to rip that barrier apart, they could now focus their concentration on killing everyone in the city. The tadpole beasts were too weak to be of any use now and had started retreating.

    Howl!

    Apanied by loud howls, some powerful monsters appeared. From the dark sky, numerous fireballs started descending.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled slightly. "It¡¯sing?" Despite the fact that he was standing in a certain faraway corner of Star City while watching this, that terrifying and powerful aura could still be felt. The full-scale invasion was finally starting. This scene was so very simr to the scene he had witnessed back then. However, there were still some differences here and there. In the "future" he had once identally glimpsed, a lot of people close to him had been hurt and countless people had died tragically. Now, though, things were no longer unfolding the same way.

    "Gic Union," Chen Feng muttered. "Let me have a clear look at the preparations you guys have made for this."

    This was a war. By himself, he would not be able to win it. Even if everything was ignored, just the tadpole beasts earlier would already be sufficient to flood him to death. He had no intention ofpeting in quantity with those devil race members. Therefore, from the start, he had delivered all the information he¡¯d had on the devil race, after a slight revision, to Hou Liang. And now, it was proven that they had indeed heard him.

    Midair, a person appeared. He was stepping on thin air, a silver radiance shrouding his body. The silver was actually a thickyer of armor flickering like a breathingmp, alternating between dark and light, attracting the gaze of everyone here amid the darkness.

    "It¡¯s him."

    "It¡¯s this lord?"

    Everyone¡¯s heart trembled. This was Han Y, one of the peak A-ss experts of the Gic Union. it was rumored that he was a rather cruel person and was rather extreme in his method of handling things. In his eyes, things were either ck or white¡ªthere was no gray area. Moreover, he had no mercy when trying to aplish his tasks. It was said that, back then, he had married into a certain family. However, due to his disagreement with the morality of the actions of that family, he had killed everyone in the family, including his wife and children. As for exactly how wrong the actions of that family that had triggered this incident had been, that was something outsiders couldn¡¯t know.

    On that day, Han Y had dug his own heart out of his chest, bing a literally heartless person. Despite that, due to his excessive strength, he was actually able to stay alive even without a heart. This was an expert capable of nting fear in everyone¡¯s heart.

    He was an existence disliked even among his fellow Gic Union members. It was truly unexpected that he would be the one to appear in this war. Perhaps he would be the perfect person to deal with these damnable devil race members?

    Chen Feng frowned. "So that¡¯s Han Y?" Han Y the heartless, this was a name Chen Feng had heard a lot of times. However, he had never expected that this legendary and terrifying expert would actually be a fan of RGB light systems. Who in the world would actually turn their armor into a flickering light? Is he sick? What, do you think you¡¯re Razer? [1] 1

    Chen Feng focused his gaze. "I hope you will live up to your reputation."

    After appearing, Han Y merely raised his head and gazed upward. Distantly, the howling devil race members were nearly within reach. Numerous devil race members were charging out from the darkness. From the number of them, it could be concluded that this should be all of the devil race members that had awakened since the past few days. These guys were clearly putting everything they have on the line for this mission. In that case...

    Han Y raised his hand coldly. "It¡¯s time for you guys to go back."

    Shua! Shua!

    Countless radiance swirled around. In Star City, from each of the normal buildings that were usually used as shops or to produce gene reagents, cannons radiating a bizarre light appeared. All of these were energy weapons.

    "Wee to the gic era." A cruel smile appeared on Han Y¡¯s face. "Goodbye."

    Bang!

    A terrifying radiance erupted.

 Chapter 471: The End Is Also the Beginning

    Chapter 471: The End Is Also the Beginning

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Star City.

    A dazzling radiance bloomed and a shocking explosion roared, rming countless people. The heavy downpour descending from the sky repressed this sound somewhat, and the pitch ck sky stopped the dazzling radiance from traveling too far. Despite this, nothing was able to erase the terrifying power that was being emanated.

    The entire ground was tinted red with blood. The main army of the devil race was all killed before they were able to even go through the entrance. On the ground, countless mournful howls could be heard. Dismembered corpses of the devil race members were sprawled everywhere. Even the A-ss warriors of Star City were shocked by this sight. Was this the power of their Gic Union? It was truly terrifying.

    One ought to know that all these freshly killed devil race members were at the power level of A-ss warriors. And now, they had all been delivered a crushing defeat. Too powerful! This was the first thought that surfaced in everyone¡¯s mind. At times like this, the stronger the power demonstrated by the Gic Union, the happier they were.

    Suddenly, Han Y walked forth expressionlessly and dipped his finger into the blood on the ground. After tasting the finger with his tongue, he asserted, "No ck rain was inserted in the blood here."

    Everyone else: "..." Do we need you to tell us that? It is obvious that the newly spilled blood is all red in color.

    They were also rather shocked by the fact that the blood on the ground had obviously been tainted with all sorts of yellowish pollutants yet he had still dared to taste it with his tongue. Was this one of the reasons this heartless person was so feared?

    "They can ce a disguise on the ck rain to make it look red if they wish to." Han Y merely nced at them coldly before continuing, "Even if there is a 100% chance that this blood is not mixed with the ck rain, I will not take that gamble. Rather, I will taste it myself to verify it properly. Moreover..." Han Y shut his eyes. From the blood, an unfamiliar power could be felt.

    "Can this be counted as our victory?" someone asked in a low voice. After all, all the devil race invaders had been killed right outside their entrance.

    These formidable fellows had all fallen in the face of Star City¡¯s high-tech weapons. After all, the devil races bodies were muchrger than a normal human¡¯s and were easily aimed at by the human weapons. Every single shot fired by the cannons had been able to hit a devil race member. As they stared ahead, there were no signs of new invadersing.

    Shua! Shua!

    The ck rain was still descending unendingly.

    "Hum¡ª"

    Suddenly, an oppressive sound echoed. Distantly, from amid the darkness, with the help of the feeble lighting system of Star City, a huge figure could be seen appearing slowly from far away. Every single step that figure took resulted in a huge earthquake.

    Bang! Bang!

    That huge figure approached them one step at a time. Everyone¡¯s mood sunk. Earlier, they had been making use of the weakness of the devil race members¡¯ having huge bodies to kill them. Now, though, wasn¡¯t this newly appeared devil race member too huge in size?

    Bang!

    Apanied by thundering footsteps, that figure approached them. Immediately after getting a clear look at it, they all inhaled a mouthful of cold breath. This was an extremely ugly devil race member. Its entire body was green with ck spots all over. Its skin was wrinkled and thick, while its body was as tall as a building. If one had to use a word to describe this newly appeared fellow, then one could say that this was a huge and ugly frog.

    Someone berated the huge frog. "So those tadpole beasts earlier were only here to look for this mom of theirs?"

    Bang! Bang!

    The huge devil race beast neared.

    "Attack!" Han Ymanded without any mercy.

    Bang!

    The energy weapons started firing again.

    rming them all, that devil race freak started swelling suddenly like a balloon as it absorbed all the energy attacks fired at it before spitting them out after taking aim in a certain direction.

    Bang!

    A terrifying radiance was let loose. A ray of light was spat out, destroying a building with weapons on it. The rest of them were greatly rmed as they saw this. This fellow here was capable of absorbing energy? Not only that, it was also capable of using it back against them? What a terrifying ability! How had they figured out how to deal with energy weapons? This was, after all, a modern weapon. Hold on... Yes, the ancient race!

    Back then, despite the fact that the ancient race had not had energy weapons, they had been energy users, unlike the barbarians. These energy-handling methods were probably something the devil race had developed to be used against the ancient race back then. Now, though, these methods were being unleashed upon humanity. Perhaps, as far as these newly awakened devil race members were concerned, humanity was equivalent to the ancient race.

    After all, if one did not look clearly, the human race truly resembled the ancient race. Perhaps this somewhat unfamiliar human race was simply a part of the ancient race¡ªa result of the several thousands of years of evolutions of the ancient race¡ªas far as the devil race was concerned.

    "Absorbing energy, eh?" Han Y¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Adjust all weapons to the highest intensity. Continue attacking!" Han Y ordered.

    "But..."

    The faces of the rest greened as they heard thismand. Highest intensity? For real? Even the current low intensity of their weapons was able to destroy a single armed building of theirs with one shot after being returned by the frog. If they were to fire their weapons at the highest intensity, they would most probably die before even realizing what had happened. After all, they had seen with their own eyes the power of this frog here.

    "You all, attack together with me. Those who disobey shall be killed." Han Y had no intention of providing them with any exnations. As the rest heard his words, their bodies chilled.

    They exchanged nces before saying with clenched teeth, "All out, then!" Some of them were already able to guess what Han Y was nning. Therefore, the only thing left to do was fight.

    Bang!

    Once again, the energy weapons started firing toward that huge frog.

    Bang! Bang!

    The terrifying radiance bloomed as the boundless energynded on the huge frog. All the attacks of their energy weapons and the attacks of all their A-ss warriors were directed at the huge frog. Once again, the huge frog started swelling to the point its entire body became a huge sphere.

    All their attacks had seemingly entered a bottomless abyss. They could only watch on as that huge frog continued erging before its huge mouth suddenly opened, aiming straight at them.

    "This is bad. It¡¯s counterattacking."

    Everyone was rmed. Right at this moment, Han Y made his move.

    Shua!

    A resplendent silvery radiance shed out. This silvery sh did not appear formidable, yet it was the final straw that overwhelmed the giant frog, as the limit of energy the giant frog could contain was now strained to its limit.

    Hum¡ª

    The huge frog was still trying to open its mouth, yet it failed to open its mouth properly. Since its body was too huge now and it was now entirely round, it was unable to even open its mouth properly. It had evidently reached its limit in the amount of energy it could absorb.

    Hum¡ª

    Yet even now, its body was still erging.

    "Retreat!"

    The Gic Union members retreated hastily. Immediately afterward...

    Bang!

    The earth trembled, followed by a huge explosion that rocked the entirety of Star City. At the entrance of Star City that had initially been littered with the corpses of devil race members, a huge crater appeared. That huge frog that had swallowed such a huge amount of energy had ultimately exploded. Even the dark sky seemed clearer due to the explosion.

    In the sky, the dark cloud shrouding the sky had cleared for the first time, revealing the silhouettes of all the devil race members hiding behind it. One after another, devil race members that had never been seen before appeared.

    "Good chance!" Han Y pointed at the sky without hesitating. "Kill!"

    Bang!

    First, the energy weapons started firing toward the devil race members. At the same time, all the Gic Union members charged up. Now that the veil of mysteriousness shrouding the devil race had been lifted, the devil race had lost its biggest advantage. Even if they also possessed thebat power of A-ss warriors, being newly awakened, they were still too weakpared to the A-ss warriors of the Gic Union that were all veteranbatants. In a short amount of time, all the devil race members were killed. In the entire expanse of dark sky, not a single devil race member remained.

    Everyone looked up at the sky. "Is it over?"

    Shua! Shua!

    The rain was still descending without stop. Suddenly, the ground started trembling, and a power that caused one to feel flustered gushed out of the ground.

 Chapter 472: Sealing Devil Raceâ€¦ Who Are You Trying to Cheat?

    Chapter 472: Sealing Devil Race... Who Are You Trying to Cheat?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    An odd liquid rumbled out. Despite their efforts, the soil of Star City had ultimately failed to avoid being dyed ck. Apart from the portion of the city that was still being defended by the Gic Union members, the rest of the soil in Star City had already been tinted ck. The ck liquid with ayer of dim radiance around it streamed out, flooding the ck soil speedily.

    Hum¡ª

    The ground started trembling slightly.

    "This seems somewhat different than what happened previously."

    The rest were anxious. They had once seen the reawakening of these so-called devil race members. In truth, said awakening was rather simple. The devil race members would simply crawl up from underneath the ground. But now, the ck liquid and the dim radiance that had abruptly appeared seemed rather different from what had been seen before.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The earth trembled, and that power that caused one to feel flustered increased in intensity.

    Bang!

    Suddenly, the sound of something bursting apart echoed. Next, a huge palm stretched out from amid the liquid.

    ng!

    As the huge handnded on the ground, the earth trembled.

    They were all rmed. "What freak is that?"

    "What terrifying size."

    "It¡¯s actually bigger than the previous frog?"

    Han Y and the rest braced themselves. "Be careful."

    Facing such a terrifying life-form, none of them dared to look down on it. As for Chen Feng, who was watching from far away, he had a rather odd feeling.

    In actuality, he was not a pure gic warrior. Rather, he was aparatively powerful gene producer. As such, he knew much more about gene production than everyone here. That was also the reason why he kept having an odd feeling when he saw that huge hand.

    Mhm... what is it that looks so off?

    As Chen Feng pondered, he remembered this scene. A possibility surfaced in his mind. At that, he checked with Spirit. After using one luck value, his guess was verified. Indeed, he was pursuing the correct line of thought. After confirming that, he continued his analysis in the same direction and was able to obtain the answer he wanted soon enough.

    So this is the case. Chen Feng¡¯s eyes lit up. "Spirit, deduce the form for me. I want to show them clearly what a gene producer can do."

    "All right." Spirit was still as reliable as ever.

    ...

    Presently, Han Y had finally ordered them to destroy that huge palm that had appeared. Since this fellow had yet to fully appear, they should take this chance to destroy it first. s, they were rather helpless. Even after trying numerous methods, they failed to deal any damage to that huge palm. This iing devil race member seemed much more powerful than all of them, Han Y included.

    "This is bad."

    They started worrying. Right at this moment, a gic warrior ran over before stopping beside Han Y and whispering something to him.

    "Are you sure?" Han Y asked with his brows furrowed. Ultimately, he nodded his head, signifying his agreement. Shortly after, several gic warriors appeared carrying numerous buckets of some bizarre liquid before directly pouring the liquid onto the rumbling ck liquid. At this, an astonishing sight appeared.

    Shua!

    Almost instantly, the ck liquid with ayer of dim radiance around it was immediately frozen.

    As this happened, that huge palm seemed to have noticed that something wasn¡¯t right. The palm shook rapidly as it struggled. s, the struggle was for naught. The spot where the palm had stretched out of hadpletely dried up, fixing the entire palm right where it appeared. The only way the owner of the palm could continue moving would be to chop its own palm off.

    "It¡¯s been sealed!" they eximed in astonishment. What advanced technology was that?

    Han Y looked at the gic warriors and asked, "Is this something the gene producer produced? The excellent producer you mentioned?"

    The gic warrior nodded. "Indeed. However, I was only shown an excellent producer badge. The actual excellent producer is nowhere to be seen. The one who handed it to me is a youngster called Chen Feng."

    "Chen Feng..."

    As the rest heard this, they understood immediately.

    "If it¡¯s him, then there¡¯s nothing weird about it." Han Y patted the gic warrior¡¯s shoulder. "You have been in seclusion for way too long. The youngster you mentioned is precisely the excellent producer. If it¡¯s him..."

    One could not forget that it was rumored that Chen Feng had just eliminated some peak A-ss warriors recently. Moreover, being one of the peak A-ss warriors of Gic Union, Han Y had the privilege of knowing more information than others and was aware that the reason they had been able to prepare for all this in advance was due to the intelligence provided by Chen Feng. This perverse and logic-defying producer was walking an extremely unique path.

    Chen Feng...

    Han Y gazed toward a certain corner of Star City. Previously, he had felt like someone was watching them. Now that he thought about it, that person was probably Chen Feng.

    Bang! Bang!

    The ground trembled, rming everyone present. However, after shaking several times, the huge palm still failed to free itself. Instead, due to the intense struggle, some traces of blood were now appearing at its wrist.

    They were shocked as they saw this.

    "What a powerful seal."

    "How did this seale about?" they asked the gic warrior that hade on behalf of Chen Feng earlier.

    "Oh." That person scratched his head and said, "Chen Feng told me that some spatial copse...dimension... tear... or something is the reason this dim radiance has appeared. As a counter, he used some solidifying agent or something like that."

    The rest red at him. "What are you even talking about? You can even forget about something so important?"

    That person smiled forcefully. "It¡¯s not that. He was using terms only producers normally use. Those long and hard-to-remember terms, and the codename was wanz110[1] 1 or something... How am I supposed to remember all that? But then, I have the general gist of how it worked. Chen Feng indeed gave me a rough exnation."

    Their eyes lit up. "Oh, let us know, then."

    "Mhm... it¡¯s actually quite simple." That person started imitating the tone of voice used by Chen Feng. "The devil race members might only be able to appear through the polluted soil. The stronger and bigger the devil race member is, therger the amount of ck soil that is required for the awakening. An ordinary devil race member can appear instantly and easily, yet this does not apply to this huge devil race member. Therefore, the amount of polluted soil here is too little for that fellow to actually appear. The ¡¯portal¡¯ will be too tight, so to say. Hence... mhm..." As that person reached here, he appeared somewhat awkward. After bracing himself, he continued, "If it¡¯s too tight, well, use some lubricant and the devil race member will be able to squeeze through." [2] 2

    Shua!

    Instantly, everyone sunk into silence. They looked at that huge hand before looking at the endless ck rain. During this perilous moment of Star City¡¯s, they wished to maintain a solemn expression at all times, but these words caused their lips to twitch without stop.

    Even if you are trying to use someyman¡¯s terms, this isn¡¯t proper, right? This is too excessive! What do you mean by using some lubricant?

    "As for the odd liquid that¡¯s rumbling out..."

    They had "what the f*ck" expressions on their faces.

    "I know the answer for that!" That person patted his thigh and stated with a solemn expression, "That is actually called Radiance of Demonic Spirit, something capable of radiating a huge amount of power to ease the awakening of the devil race members. This is a holy item of the devil race."

    "This is the initial term that Chen Feng used when he was exining to you, right?" Han Y asked coldly.

    That person appeared rather awkward. "Yeah."

    Han Y continued, asking, "What about theyman¡¯s terms he used to describe that liquid, then?"

    "..." That person paused before saying, "He called it lubricant."

    Their lips twitched as they heard this. Indeed .

    "How about the liquid that we added toward the end?"

    "Oh, Chen Feng said that the liquid is something he produced. It has no other function except freezing the lubricant¡ªoh, no, I mean freezing the Radiance of Demonic Spirit, turning it into something like superglue. Oh yeah, the initial term used by Chen Feng was ¡¯stabilizing the seal of the devil race members¡¯."

    Shua!

    Instantly, everyonepsed into silence as they became speechless. Superglue? Mhm... stabilizing the seal of the devil race? Sure. As they looked at the palm that was still struggling there, they started pitying it. They were not aware of what the owner of that palm was feeling presently. However, when they thought of the analogy used by Chen Feng... If the lubricant one was using were to suddenly turn into superglue, that would truly be tragic. [3] 3

    How pitiful. Everyone looked at the struggling palm. Sorry, because of Chen Feng, it hadpletely dried up here. No matter what, no Radiance of Demonic Spirit would appear here. After a long time, that huge palm gave up struggling.

    Hu. Hu.

    ck radiance started shining out of some different locations.

    Hum¡ª

    The ground trembled as numerous devil race members appeared instantly. They had finally given up on trying to first waken their stronger members. Rather, they were sticking with a simpler method.

    Bang! Bang!

    Numerous devil race members appeared without stop.

    The devil race wasing. After failing to awaken a boss-grade devil race member, the devil race had decided to stick with their regr awakening method. Now, they had chosen to simply wake their members using the soil that was already tinted ck. Since they weren¡¯t using the Radiance of Demonic Spirit anymore, the solidifying agent prepared by Chen Feng would no longer work.

    Bang! Bang!

    The earth copsed as numerous ferocious-looking devil race members awakened.

    Howl!

    Numerous howls resounded, and in the dark sky, a bizarre green and blue radiance appeared.

    Everyone inhaled deeply. "Finally, they areing." From the start, they had been aware that a huge battle was unavoidable. The devil race members that had appeared earlier had merely been a prelude to this huge battle that was about to erupt. Their true enemies were those underneath them, those awakening from the soil beneath Star City. The devil race members that had been hibernating in the soil were all able to awaken through this method. It was something nobody could stop.

    "Kill!" Han Y ordered. As long as there were enemies around, he was not a person to show any hesitation.

    Bang!

    The energy weapons started firing.

    "Kill!"

    The gic warriors charged forth. Amid the heavy downpour, the Gic Union warriors shed with the devil race members. As they shed, raindrops mixed with blood, dying this piece ofnd violet. These devil race members were very powerful.

    The crucial part of the devil race¡¯s n back then was the long years of hibernation and condensation underground enabling them to be much more powerful after their reawakening. This was what they had nned and this was also the reason they had decided to hibernate in the first ce. Only by doing so would they be confident that the moment of their reawakening would also be the moment where the entire world would be conquered by them.

    "We... are back..." An ancientnguage was once again heard in this world as hoarse voices uttered these words without stop. The devil race was, after all, not mutated beasts. They possessed intelligence and had a proper civilization andnguage of their own. Ultimately, they had been powerhouses back in the ancient era.

    The devil race members that had appeared were all A ss. Even an ordinary recently reawakened foot soldier of theirs was as strong as an A-ss warrior. Theirmoners had long vanished with time, leaving behind only those capable of awakening from their hibernation. All these were elites among the devil race. These were the strongest warriors of their race, who had been forged through countless years of hibernation, nurtured by the vitality of a huge amount of their own that had been used as a sacrifice back then, the strongest warriors that had exhausted an entire civilization to forge.

    Howl! Howl!

    All the devil race soldiers were powerful and ferocious.

    "Kill!"

    The Gic Union warriors did not waste a single second as they were trying to get rid of the devil race members at this moment where these devil race members were still in their weakest state. Otherwise...

    Pu! Pu!

    One figure copsed after another. Finally, the intensity of this battle reached its peak.

    "This moment has finally arrived..." Chen Feng muttered. This was war. Nobody could hope to survive by mere fluke. He was able to produce unique gene reagents to stop the experts of the devil race from reawakening. He was also able to provide support to others. s, he was still not qualified to fight on the front lines as he was still too weak. He was, after all, still not an A-ss warrior.

    This was a battle only A-ss warriors could participate in. Under certain unique conditions, Chen Feng might be able to unleash an extremely powerfulbat power. However, that power he could muster was only a short burst of power capable of killing perhaps only one or two enemies. In a battle of this scale with so many enemies, he wouldn¡¯t be able to do much at all.

    Therefore, he had to keep his trump card until the crucial moment in the hopes that it would be of some help. Those truly in charge of participating in this battle were ultimately the Gic Union members.

    Pu!

    Blood sttered about unceasingly. This piece ofnd in front of the Star City entrance was now a battlefield. The newly reawakened devil race members were obviously still in a daze and were not fully clear headed yet. As such, the Gic Union warriors, who were veteranbatants, all worked together to kill a huge amount of devil race experts. However, as time passed, devil race members that were even stronger seemed to be reawakening. Things appeared rather bad for the Gic Union at the moment.

    Bang! Bang!

    Some of the Gic Union members had even been forced back from the front line by the devil race members. At a certain location, the initially firm soil suddenly turned soft.

    "Careful."

    The gic warrior there stepped back rapidly.

    A split second after he stepped back, a terrifying devil race member burst out of the ground before immediately swallowing a random devil race member nearby.

    Howl!

    After swallowing that devil race member, it burped.

    Hu¡ª

    A scary me ignited around its body.

    "What is that?"

    Those who saw what happened were all rmed.

    Bang! Bang!

    This terrifying devil race member started its attack. With its huge body at a height of six meters and the me around its entire body, it was akin to a fireball with extraordinary strength. On the battlefield, nobody seemed to be its match.

    Han Y decided to personally face that newly appeared devil race member. "Let me deal with it."

    s...

    Bang!

    All his attacks were ineffective. Energy attacks, physical attacks, all of them were ineffective. Even when weaponsnded on the thick and round abdomen of this devil race member, the weapons bounced away. Even sharp des and arrows did not work. Nothing seemed capable of damaging this devil race member.

    Everyone was horrified. "What damnable thing is this?" Despite the fact that this devil race member did not possess too powerful an attack, its defense was truly astonishing. Coupled with its huge size, it was akin to a berserk beast. By itself, it was able to keep seven powerful gic warriors busy.

    Everyone was anxious.

    "This won¡¯t do..."

    Regardless of how weak that devil race member¡¯s attacks were, it was still A ss. If they ignored it, the consequences would definitely be fatal. However, if they continued getting tied down by this thing, the overallbat power of the Gic Union would suffer a significant drop.

    And when that happened, they would not be able to kill those newly awakened devil race members in time. And by the time the newly awakened devil race members all regained their full consciousness, the devil race would be even stronger. And next, a vicious circle would be formed. Therefore, they had to deal with this fellow here.

    Unfortunately for them, regardless of what they did, everything seemed ineffective. In actuality, it wasn¡¯t particrly hard to deal with this fellow. Using piercing attacks or something simr would be sufficient. As long as a gic warrior with such an ability was here, this devil race member would be dealt with easily enough. s, there was no such gic warrior here.

    As abilities with piercing attacks were generally not part of any well-known or proper ability set, these abilities weren¡¯t popr. As such, it was quite normal for the gic warriors deployed here to not have such abilities.

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, when I return from this, I will most certainly train a Gic Union member with piercing-rted abilities."

    "Yeah, sure. What should we do now, though?"

    "Well, we can only keep at it."

    They clenched their teeth. Thereupon, an entire group of them continued keeping this huge devil race member upied while trying to kill other devil race members at the same time. During such a crucial moment, they had no intention of wasting any power avable to them. However, just as they thought that they had things under control, that fellow started raging.

    A terrifying power erupted as that huge devil race member rolled like a fireball before knocking into a gic warrior that was in the midst of battle.

    "Careful!"

    The expressions of the rest changed greatly as they saw this. The targeted gic warrior had noticed this as well. Unfortunately, his discovery came a tad bit toote.

    Xiu!

    Turning into a dazzling red streak, the fireball mmed into that gic warrior.

    Bang!

    A huge explosion erupted at the point of impact.

    Everyone¡¯s heart thumped. "This is bad."

    A huge explosion erupted. Everyone looked over in rm, and their eyes widened abruptly at what they saw. There, as the huge devil race member was about to knock into its targeted gic warrior, its advance had been blocked. In its way was a youth that was not particrly tall in height. His hand was outstretched, pressed against that devil race member¡¯s body.

    Chi! Chi!

    The mes surged violently yet failed to deal any sort of damage to that person. He looked young, yet on his head was no hair at all. Under the dazzling radiance of the me that was shining on him, his bald head looked like a recently boiled soy-sauce egg. Presently, on this particr "soy-sauce egg" was a rather ferocious expression that was aimed that devil race member, "Back then, the ones who interrupted my ¡¯battle¡¯ was you devil race folks, right?"[1] 1

    Ka! Ka!

    He took two steps forward, pushing that devil race member backward.

    "Xu Fei!"

    "It¡¯s that kid?"

    "Holy shit, I haven¡¯t seen him for a short while and he has suddenly be so strong?"

    Everyone was shocked when they saw this. Different from Chen Feng, Xu Fei was indeed a full-fledged member of the Gic Union. As such, even though Xu Fei hadn¡¯t been that active in his mission participation, they had still seen him hanging around every now and then. It was truly unexpected that this junior back then was now so very valiant.

    "Scram!"

    With a punch, Xu Fei beat that fireball back.

    Bang!

    The fireball was punched back, smashing a huge crater into the ground.

    "Are you fine?" Xu Fei asked as he pulled up the gic warrior that had almost been killed by the fireball earlier.

    "I¡¯m fine," that person stated gratefully, "Thank you. Why are you here?"

    This was a battle between A sses. Therefore, only A-ss gic warriors had been notified toe here. Even though Xu Fei had saved them, with his present strength, he was not supposed to be here. By right, he wasn¡¯t supposed to even know about this. In that case, why was he here?

    Xu Fei smiled. "Someone informed me."

    Everyone was astonished to hear this. "Who?"

    Xu Fei grinned. "You all will find out in the future."

    "But..." Someone was still trying to say something, but that huge devil race member was already back on its feet now. It was, after all, still an A ss, and its physical body was extremely powerful. Therefore, it was natural that this devil race member had not been defeated by a single punch from Xu Fei.

    Xu Feiughed heartily. "Let me deal with this fellow here."

    Howl!

    After letting off a howl, the huge devil race member charged at Xu Fei.

    Bang!

    Xu Fei let off another punch toward that devil race member. The punch connected, creating a huge shockwave over 10 meters high, and the me around that devil race member trembled. The devil race member had been stopped! With his mere B-ss strength, Xu Fei had blocked that big guy that wasparable to an A-ss warrior.

    "He is actually this strong?"

    "So he already possesses thebat power of an A ss?"

    "Transcending his level of B ss to battle an A ss..."

    "He can stop that huge freak by himself."

    "Times are indeed changing, eh?"

    Everyonemented endlessly. Presently, Xu Fei was already engaged in a battle with that huge devil race member. "Let me deal with this guy."

    Xu Fei was rather confident in himself. Indeed, that gigantic devil race member was very powerful. However, despite how strong it was, there was a limit to it. How was it possible for something perfect to exist? This fellow was someone with an immunity to energy-based and physical abilities and who possessed a terrifying me. But then, the stronger its defense was, the weaker its attack had to be. This fact was even more pronounced since this fellow was immune toward both energy and physical attacks. Therefore, the damage this devil race member could deal was certainly very low.

    Naturally, being an expert among the devil race members, it still possessed a different ability that was very powerful: its me capable of crushing anyone at its level. Its dual immunity coupled with its me granted this devil race member an ability to do as it wished. Unfortunately, this was ineffective against Xu Fei. me? It was truly unfortunate that, when it came to Xu Fei, the only thing threatening about this devil race member was its physical strength. Coincidentally, Xu Fei wasn¡¯t a person known for his physical prowess either.

    "Come!" Xu Fei howled.

    Bang! Bang!

    They both started engaging in melee battle. Stripped of its three main advantages, how strong could the physical body of this devil race member be? Truth be told, it was rather ordinary. At most, it was equivalent to a peak B ss. Therefore, this fellow and Xu Fei were actually evenly matched. Naturally, due to the immunity of this fellow¡¯s, Xu Fei¡¯s attacks were not able to do much to it. However, what caused everyone to be speechless was the fact that, simrly, this fellow¡¯s attacks were unable to do anything to Xu Fei either.

    Both of them fought each other, neither one of them capable of harming the other. As for the me that was surging out unceasingly, it was like a decorative firework, incapable of doing anything of substance in this battle.

    Bang! Bang!

    Explosions echoed without stop. Everyone was dumbstruck as they witnessed this battle. One could not forget that earlier, it had taken seven of them to stop this damnable devil race member from wreaking havoc. The only thing they had been able to do was limit its advance¡ªnothing else. Now though, Xu Fei alone was already sufficient for this task.

    Bang!

    The battle continued. With Xu Fei dealing with this huge devil race member, the Gic Union regained their superiority on the battlefield. Gradually, the devil race members were pushed back.

    Pu! Pu!

    Blood sttered around without stop. The number of the devil race members reduced without stop. s, right at this moment, a ray of light flickered out from underground. Next, a tiny and sparkling ck and furry ball soared up toward the sky, revealing a pair of bean-like eyes that gazed upon the battlefield.

    "What is that?"

    "Careful."

    Everyone heightened their vignce.

    "Deal with it."

    "All right."

    Shua!

    A cold radiance shed past. The cold radiance shed at the ball yet was unable to deal any damage to it.

    "Hey?"

    "It looks like an illusion?"

    Everyone was rather confused. Illusion? There actually existed illusionary devil race members?

    Suddenly...

    Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!

    Countless ck balls surged out from underground. It had been a while since the first batch of devil race members had reawakened. Finally, a new batch had appeared. But then, these newly appeared fellows...

    "What on earth are this guys?"

    Everyone frowned. If these had been regr devil race members, they would have had nothing to fear. But now...

    Shua!

    Light swirled around.

    The entire sky was filled with the ck balls. There was only one meter of empty space between each ball. This scene appeared both rather bizarre and freakish at the same time. The gic warriors erected their defensive barrier as they gazed at those balls carefully and prudently.

    One second...

    Two seconds...

    Three seconds...

    ...

    Bang!

    All the ck balls exploded. Next, the initially furry balls transformed into something cactus-like with thorns all over their bodies.

    "What are they doing?"

    The onlookers were rmed. None of them had any idea what in the world these things were, exactly. Regardless, these balls did not look like something simple.

    "Spirit, can you deduce what they are?" Chen Feng asked solemnly.

    "Yes." Spirit was aware that Chen Feng wanted an answer. "Using two luck value, the following result has been obtained: This is an extremely formidable life-form among the devil race known as ¡¯charm devils.¡¯ Their body makeup can be ssified as a soul, capable of traversing the illusory and real world. Moreover, they are also capable oftching onto anything with life, charming their chosen target to obtain control over the body. Presently, they have just reawakened and are absorbing the energy required for their charm. The positions of their reawakening have all been calcted precisely, with a gic warrior near each of them. The moment they are done absorbing the required energy, they will be able totch onto their targets shortly after. The moment thetching seeds, the gic warriors of the Gic Union will fall under the temporary control of these devil race members."

    "So that¡¯s the case." Chen Feng studied their positions. "It would seem like the reawakening of the devil race members is actually being controlled by someone else."

    Spirit nodded. "Indeed." Some things did not require luck values for them to urately guess.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The ck balls swelled without stop. The situation did not look too encouraging.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. These things...

    Chapter 475: New Method

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    High above the sky, amid the boundless darkness, a pair of huge eyes were seemingly shimmering there. Suddenly, the swelling ck balls started stirring.

    Xiu!

    The ck balls transformed into numerous ck streaks as they charged toward the gic warriors near them.

    "Careful!"

    Everyone was horrified. Although they had no idea what these things were, anyone worth their salt knew that nothing good woulde from letting those things touch them. As such, they all unleashed their defensive abilities hastily. s, their defensive abilities were ineffective, as these ck balls were simply illusory objects that would not be stopped by anything in the physical world.

    Pa! Pa!

    The ck ballstched onto their bodies.

    "Submit..."

    "Submit..."

    A faintly discernible voice started echoing from the dark sky. Suddenly, each gic warrior that had beentched onto felt their consciousness growing hazy. It was at this very moment that a dazzling red radiance shed past.

    Xiu! Xiu!

    The red radiance flickered about. Astonishingly, the ck balls that hadtched onto the bodies of those gic warriors instantly disappeared as the red radiance appeared.

    Eh?

    Instantly, they regained their consciousness. When they raised their heads once again, they were rather confused, as all they could see was a tiny red snake hovering in the air. The snake in question was presently swallowing up those ck balls. That¡¯s right. This snake was devouring those ck balls. Those unique ck balls that were immune to physical attacks were being swallowed down just like that. Moreover, after swallowing all those ck balls, that red snake seemed to grow longer as well. Was this a misconception?

    Xiu! Xiu!

    After swallowing several tens of the ck balls, that red snake was obviously longer now. Furthermore, it was growing thicker as well, and its movement speed had increased as well.

    Xiu! Xiu!

    The red flickered around. In a short instant, all the ck balls were swallowed cleanly. Once again, this ce regained its initial tranquility.

    ??

    The Gic Union warriors were rather dazed at this new development. What was going on? Not only had they failed to understand what those ck balls were, what was the deal with this red snake that had appeared suddenly? With the strength of these gic warriors, it was not a sure fact that they couldn¡¯t have defeated these ck balls. Among the rich experience they had, numerous experiences dealing with these things with unique immunity existed as well. As long as one paid a sufficient price, even if the price was high, it was definitely doable.

    It was truly unexpected that before they had even been able to do anything, the battle was already over. As the red shed about, only several seconds passed before all those ck balls were erased from existence. The only thing remaining was the afterimage of that red streak.

    Everyone gasped in admiration.

    "What in the world is that thing?"

    "Gluttonous snake?"

    "..."

    "No idea. Perhaps it¡¯s a trump card of someone from our side."

    "I think so as well."

    Everyone started guessing. Despite their guesses, that red streak had only appeared for a short while before vanishingpletely.

    "Perhaps that person is not willing to expose his trump card."

    "Yeah."

    Everyone was guessing without stop.

    Since the threat posed by the devil race was still looming about, they couldn¡¯t spare much of their energy to look for an expert unwilling to reveal himself. Regardless, now that the ck balls were no longer here, the Gic Union warriors could stop wasting time on them. Rather, they could now pay attention to the next batch of devil race members. In this n that had been conceived by the devil race after spending so much time, a huge frog and many ck balls had appeared. What would appear next?

    "Based on the information supplied by Chen Feng, the devil race has been in preparation for this awakening for many years. As such, it definitely won¡¯t be as simple as what we have seen so far," Han Y stated coldly. "This n they have prepared with utmost care was prepared with the ancient race in mind. Since we resemble the ancient race greatly, we must¡ª"

    Ka! Ka!

    Before Han Y could even finish his words, once again, the earth trembled violently. This was the third batch of the devil race¡¯s attack. The third wave was starting.

    Bang! Bang!

    Numerous explosions erupted on the ground, leaving numerous craters behind. From the darkened soil, a terrifying fog shot out suddenly. rming everyone there was the fact that before even dealing any sort of damage to anyone here, the fog had already dissipated amid the air.

    "What is that?"

    Their expressions were unsightly. The ck balls that had appeared previously were still something they had been able to see with their naked eyes. Now, though, this newly appeared fog...

    "This looks bad," someone muttered. This development was much harder to deal with than they had expected. They had initially thought that regardless of how powerful those devil race members were, as long as they were strong enough and were cohesive enough, they would be able to defeat the devil race. However, these two batches of the devil race¡¯s attacks had proven that the devil race¡¯s attacks were not limited to direct battles.

    "Were these prepared by the devil race with the ancient race in mind as well?" someone asked softly.

    Shua! Shua!

    The fog dissipated among the air without stop. One gic warrior tried to stop a particr burst of fog. s, the fog still managed to dissipate without any trouble. What exactly was this fog?

    "No clue."

    Everyone shook their head. Something like this that they couldn¡¯t see or understand was the scariest thing to face.

    Shua! Shua!

    Soon, all the fog vanished, with no new foging out of the ground.

    "Howl¡ª"

    Once again, some powerful devil race members crawled out from the ground. These newly appeared devil race members had thick scales all over their bodies, showcasing their astonishing defense. They were obviously stronger than the earlier devil race members. Despite this, the gic warriors were still all focused on the fog that had appeared earlier. What had that been, exactly?

    "Oh." One of them scratched his head. "Was that fog something to create a proper mood to wee the appearances of these new devil race members?"

    Everyone else: "..."

    What, do you think this is some stage performance? Creating a proper mood? Do you want a spotlight while you¡¯re at it? Furthermore, that fog was not the dry ice normally used for performances, okay?

    Bang! Bang!

    The devil race members started their attack. As for the Gic Union members, they could only hold in their doubt and once again face those devil race members. However, their curiosity was answered immediately right after the battle started. The purpose of that damnable fog was instantly revealed.

    "This is bad."

    "Insufficient energy!" one of them cried out in rm.

    What?

    Everyone else¡¯s expression sunk. What joke was this? In a battle of such a scale, what would be the consequences of insufficient energy? It was something easily guessed.

    "How is this possible? We clearly prepared sufficiently..."

    Everyone was still rather confused. However, after several shes with the devil race members, their expressions were already changing. That was because the rate of their energy exhaustion had been increased by more than tenfold. Their exhaustion had increased greatly. Let alone their natural recovery rate, even after using their energy reserves, they still had insufficient energy to continue battling.

    This rate of exhaustion was simply too astonishing. Tenfold? What concept was that?

    "What¡¯s going..."

    Before the question was evenpleted, they received their answer.

    "It¡¯s the fog from earlier."

    Their bodies chilled.

    "At this speed, we will use up all our energy soon."

    They had never expected that the third batch of the devil race¡¯s attack would be energy exhaustion. The devil race had actually employed such a method to exhaust their energy. This n of the devil race¡¯s that had been prepared for the ancient race actually worked so magnificently against humanity. The moment their energy was fully exhausted...

    "What are you guys afraid of?" Han Y stated with a cold expression. "When your energy is about to be exhausted, leave here and recover your energy. As long as you guys recover yourselves quickly using the energy stones, everything will be fine."

    Their expressions were unsightly. "But this will cause ourbat power to be reduced by 50%!" If they employed this idea, it would be equivalent to half of them being reduced to nobatants. There would always be half of them recovering energy outside at all times, causing thebat power of Gic Union to drop drastically. What would happen if theirbat power dropped drastically when facing enemies such as these devil race members? They would suffer disastrous losses!

    "Don¡¯t worry," Han Y stated with a cold expression. "Do what you guys must do. I will handle the rest."

    Shua!

    After saying this, he tightened his grasp on the weapon in his hands. If possible, he truly hoped that he could survive this as well.

 Chapter 476: The Celebration of a Certain Someone

    Chapter 476: The Celebration of a Certain Someone

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At Star City, Chen Feng was still observing the entire battlefield. He was aware that he couldn¡¯t participate personally in this battle, but he did not wish to do nothing at all as well. Ultimately, he still wished to use his very own method to change whatever he could change. From the glimpse of the future he had once caught, all of Star City was supposed to be destroyed with countless casualties.

    And now, at the very least, they had prepared themselves to face this war. The devil race was extremely powerful, and their numbers were numerous. As such, this war would not be one that could be ended by a single decisive battle. Therefore, the assistance of a particr person was required to ensure that the Gic Union warriors could maintain their peak condition at all times in this war that Chen Feng had foreseen to be a prolonged war.

    Who would that person be, then? Xie Zhongtong? Obviously not. If that fellow was the one to appear here, she would most probably cause a drop in the overallbat power of the Gic Union warriors present instead. What Chen Feng wanted was...

    "It¡¯s about time for you to arrive, right?" Chen Feng muttered.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. In the world that was presently still enveloped by darkness, every single speck of radiance appeared so very dazzling. Presently, a huge group of the Gic Union warriors was on the verge of energy exhaustion, and they were about to retreat. Astonishingly, when this happened, those newly reawakened devil race members that had yet to fully regain their thoughts actually moved on instinct alone to stop the retreat of the Gic Union members.

    These devil race members stillcked independent thought. Before their thoughts were fully recovered, they could only act on instinct. To be urate, they would act in ordance with the "script" that had been decided for them before they had gone into hibernation back then. The massive sacrifice expended for this n of the devil race¡¯s had caused the strength of these devil race members chosen for hibernation to be much stronger after reawakening than what one would expect.

    Howl!

    The howling devil race members started chasing after the retreating gic warriors. Not willing to let go of such a good opportunity, these devil race members started chasing after the gic warriors that were suffering from energy exhaustion. Because of this, the Gic Union¡¯s n to retreat was forcefully halted. If this continued, they would most probably die from exhaustion alone.

    Han Y¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "We can¡¯t hold on anymore?"

    Faint radiance was converging on his hands as he was about to make his move. Right at this instant, a bizarre-looking blue streak shed past, and a slight vibration resounded.

    Hum¡ª

    The air trembled as the blue undtion spread out. At that, the gic warriors who had already been exhausted of their energy recovered a huge amount of energy instantly.

    "Yi?"

    "This is..."

    "My energy has recovered!"

    They were all overjoyed. However, not all shared this feeling of joy, as some of them had recognized this ability. "This is Energy Supply, an F-ss ability."

    ----

    Effect: The energy ball will flicker once per minute and supply 20% of the energy the user possesses to the target. In total, the ball is able to flicker five times.

    Cooldown: 20 hours

    ----

    "The ability with a cooldown of 20 hours?"

    Instantly, they were all rudely awakened from their short-lived happiness. Now that their energy exhaustion was tenfold higher than usual, let alone 20 hours, even if the cooldown was 20 minutes, they would still suffer energy exhaustion. This mini blue ball could only save them temporarily.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The mini blue ball was still pulsing right where it had stopped moving.

    One time.

    Two times.

    Three times.

    ...

    After five pulses, everyone had already recovered all their energy. Despite this, none of them were feeling happy, as this was exactly as they had guessed. It was indeed that ability. If so, they had to think of what to do next. For this mere F-ss ability to be able to recover the energy of everyone here once, it was already an extremelymendable feat. And now, they should decide on their next course of action.

    "Just put everything on the line and fight it out."

    "No, that¡¯s not the proper cause of action. We should instead..."

    They started discussing. Suddenly...

    Hum¡ª

    A familiar vibration was felt, distracting them all from their discussion.

    Eh?

    That blue ball was still pulsing? As they were still in the midst of their stupefaction, with a faint buzz, the blue ball started vibrating as it unleashed yet another blue wave that undted outward, a wave filled with energy.

    There¡¯s more?

    Their eyes all widened in shock. This ability did not seem to be the one they remembered.

    Bang!

    Once again, the devil race¡¯s attacks were blocked. After recovering their energy, the gic warriors had no fear toward these devil race members, and once again, they shed in melee. At the same time, somewhere in the distance, blue radiance could be seen flickering amid the darkness. The figure of a youth stepped out of the darkness. The blue ball was being controlled by him, and with every step he took, the blue ball pulsed.

    Hum¡ª

    Once again, a faint undtion spread out.

    "Dear everyone, let me take care of the energy-supply issue," he stated calmly. Despite his help, the Han Y opposite him merely regarded him coldly. After all, this Star City battle was something only a select few people were aware of. Therefore, Han Y had to verify the identity of this person. If it turned out that this guy was a devil race member in disguise...

    "State your identity," Han Y stated with a calm gaze.

    "Oh, fine." That person shrugged and continued, "I am Kong Bai. Chen Feng is the one who told me toe."

    Chen Feng...

    Han Y put his weapon away. As he gave it some thought, he found this reasonable. Apart from the Gic Union, the only person who could be telling others about this was Chen Feng.

    Hum¡ª

    The blue radiance flickered without stop.

    "This young brother here, how long can you keep this supply up?" the others asked excitedly.

    Kong Bai beamed. "Unlimited."

    "Nice!"

    "Hahaha, I like it!"

    "Those damnable devil race members were actually thinking of chasing after me earlier. Well then, it¡¯s this father¡¯s turn to deliver some pain now."

    Some of the gic warriors withparatively more violent temperaments stopped hiding their real strength.

    Bang! Bang!

    The battle intensified.

    With an unlimited energy supply and no need to limit their energy consumption, thebat power of these gic warriors increased three times. And right at this moment...

    Bang!

    A devil race member burst out of the ground before charging directly at Kong Bai.

    "Careful!"

    The expressions of everyone present sank. As far as they were concerned, Kong Bai was their bringer of luck. As such, they could not allow anything to happen to him. Toward this, Kong Bai merely smiled coldly.

    Shua!

    In his hand, a mirror flickered into existence. Instantly, a terrifying radiance bloomed from the mirror and sted that A-ss devil race member away.

    The rest were shocked as they saw this. "Holy sh*t, he¡¯s this fierce?"

    That was a devil race member with thebat power of an A ss. Granted, for them, that was a rather easy opponent. But then, Kong Bai was a mere B-ss warrior, and he was a person capable of supplying unlimited energy to boot. It was rather unexpected that he was also someone with such formidablebat power. His only w was his looks, as he truly wasn¡¯t a good-looking person.

    "Devil race? You guys are nothing much after all." Kong Bai flicked his hair confidently as he finished his words.

    Bang!

    Next, he took the initiative to join the battlefield. The power erupting from him was proven to not becking even whenpared to the other A-ss gic warriors. This feat of his had shocked everyone present.

    "The future belongs to the young, after all..." the restmented endlessly. At this point, they knew that as long as Kong Bai survived this battle, he would most certainly be a person known throughout thends. s, it was truly unfortunate that his looks were somewhatcking.

    "Come!"

    With a fierce expression on his face, he charged at the devil race members. For others, this might have been a ce filled with danger. However, for Kong Bai, this was precisely the kind of ce he could showcase what he did best. That was because these devil race members were all actually uglier than him!

    "Hahaha! You folks who are uglier than me, die! Oh, another guy who¡¯s uglier than me? Hahaha! Another!"

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Kong Bai¡¯s derangedughter, apanied by the sounds of the energy sts erupting from the demonic mirror, resounded throughout the battlefield. Despite the fact that Kong Bai couldn¡¯t actually insta-kill these devil race members, his mere appearance had helped turn this entire battle around.

    Devil race... how many trump cards do you guys still have?

    "Howl¡ª"

    A sudden howl surged through the clouds. Seemingly noticing that things were getting worse for their side, a certain devil race member that had been staying hidden all this while finally made a move. However, after the single howl, the voice of that devil race member immediately changed.

    "Ah¡ª"

    The howl transformed into a mournful scream, instantly eliminating the imposingness that devil race member had established with its earlier howl.

    What happened? Everyone focused on the sky.

    Han Y smiled. "My old friend, are you finally making your move?"

    Indeed, the devil race had had trump cards hidden all this while. However, it was the same for the Gic Union. This might not have been the case if they had not been aware of this battle in advance. However, with the intelligence Chen Feng had provided, how could they have not made any preparations?

    "Ignore them," Han Y stated with a sonorous voice. "Focus on our tasks."

    "All right," the rest replied. Their mission was to eliminate these damnable devil race members.

    Shua! Shua!

    The rain was still falling upon them. As for the soil beneath their feet, it had long turned pitch ck. Wave after wave of devil race members shot out of the ground before being killed by the gic warriors. The devil race was seemingly incapable of presenting any threat to the gic warriors.

    Pu! Pu!

    Blood sttered everywhere, and slowly, the ground was painted purple. This was a color resulting from thebination of ck and red, and it was a color that caused fear to rise in one¡¯s heart. All of a sudden, the devil race stopped appearing from the ground. The battlefield stayed silent for quite a while, and it continued long enough for them to actually believe that the devil race had given up, but suddenly, the ground started shaking again.

    Kong Bai sighed. "Why do they shake first before each of their appearances?"

    "Forey, I suppose." Xu Fei curled his lips. "I suppose they think that by shaking, they can get through easier?"

    Kong Bai chortled. "Hehe." He exchanged nces with Xu Fei, and instantly, they felt like they were the same type of person.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance flickered into existence. Just as everyone was preparing for the next batch, the newly appeared radiance finished converging, forming a figure. As the rest saw this, they nked. Unexpectedly, a youngdy was the one that had appeared this time. She gazed at the gic warriors around her before shing a smile at them, a seductive and bewitching smile.

    Bang!

    They all felt their consciousnesses shuddering before they entered a brand-new world. Here in this world, the sun shone brightly and afortable spring-like breeze was brushing past them. Seated in front of each of them was a person they each loved. At this moment, the battlefield, the war, everything had seemingly vanished.

    What was I doing earlier? Oh... I was taking a rest. We obtained victory in the war and are now enjoying the fruits of our victory.

    Such thoughts surfaced in their brains, and with the people they loved by their sides, everything seemed so fine, tempting all of them to be bewitched by everything they were experiencing presently.

    "Slumber on, my dearest..."

    The gentle voices of their loved ones were seemingly reverberating everywhere as one gic warrior after another slumped down onto the ground. This newly appeared youngdy was Mei Ling, the holydy of the bewitching n of the devil race. Different from other devil race members, she was a devil race member who had been able to regain all her memories and thoughts immediately upon her reawakening. As such, she was clear on what it was that she was best at.

    Regardless of gender or age, so long as one possessed any sort of desire in one¡¯s heart, that person would not be able to avoid this attack of hers. This applied to even those who loved nobody but themselves. Despite this, one particr person suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, and without any mercy, a sharp de was stabbed at Mei Ling¡¯s heart by that person. At this, she widened her eyes abruptly.

    Mei Ling stared at the person in front of her. "You."

    "Yes, me," Han Y replied solemnly.

    Mei Ling could not believe this. "How are you immune to my illusion?"

    "Because I am a person without a heart," Han Y replied.

    Since he was a person with no heart, naturally, there was nothing that his heart desired. The only exception was that particr child... that child who, despite her willful actions, he could not avoid loving.

    Mei Ling was able to guess something from his expression. "You are lying. You have someone you love. You are an ancient race member, and you are someone who can feel desire. You might not have a heart physically, but this does not apply to your consciousness. Slumber on..." Mei Ling started muttering gently. She was able to see that Han Y was still someone who had a person he loved dearly. "Slumber..."

    Her gentle voice was seemingly capable of bringing anyone to an extremely cozynd of dreams.

    s.

    Pop¡ª

    Han Y pulled out the de before stabbing it in again and then sliding it in and out two more times. At this, an expression of pain appeared on the youngdy¡¯s face.

    "You..." She red at Han Y hatefully. "How is it possible for this to be ineffective against you?"

    Han Y was still as cold as usual. "That¡¯s because this is not what she is like. Regardless of how much she loved me and how much I loved her, I am aware that she is not able to restrain her natural instincts. Therefore, in the dream, I loved her, yet I am also aware that the her in the dream is not the real her."

    "Hehe."

    A self-mocking expression appeared on Mei Ling¡¯s face. "How unique is thatdy, exactly? Even after using my ability to construct her based on your spiritual energy, you still have not been fooled..."

    "She is unique and unmatched." As he said these words, both joy and pain flickered in Han Y¡¯s eyes. He would forever unable to forget that fateful day. That was the day where his emotions, his desire toward love, and everything he had known had been destroyed. Was it truly a good thing for him to have met thatdy? He had no answer to this question. He had once tasted joy, yet he had once suffered as well. He was a person whose world consisted of only ck and white. However, thatdy¡¯s appearance had allowed him to bear witness to other, different colors.

    "What was her name?" Mei Ling asked.

    "Xie Zhongtong," Han Y stated faintly.

    Mei Ling nodded her head. "Good name. Thisdy must be a very unique person."

    "Indeed..."

    Han Y furrowed his brows, seemingly happy and in pain at the same time. "She is very unique and a very sincere person. s, her worldview is somewhat different than mine..."

    Mei Ling¡¯s voice became exceptionally gentle as she asked, "Oh? How so?"

    Han Y frowned, "The number of people she loves is ratherrge..."

    Mei Ling gently replied, "Is that so? Then, do you feel that she is wrong?"

    "I don¡¯t know." Han Y nked as he talked on. "I once believed that she had betrayed me. However, from the emotions expressed through her eyes, I found out that for her, this is something extremely normal. At that moment, I became lost."

    Mei Ling¡¯s voice was incredibly bewitching as she spoke. "You will find it in you to forgive her. She will also forgive you. You both truly love each other. Just look at how she epted you despite yourck of a heart. If so, why can¡¯t you ept the fact that she is generous in sharing her love with others, not just you?"

    "You¡¯re right." After this series of questions, Han Y had seemingly lost his sense of awareness.

    "If so... go and enjoy it, then. Enjoy the world that belongs to the both of you... Ah, no. To be more urate, enjoy the world that belongs to all of you." Mei Ling finished her words softly. s, right at this moment, a feeling of pain stabbed at her head as a youth mmed a club down on her head.

    ng!

    She was momentarily dazed by this blow to her head.

    She turned around and saw that it was precisely that person called Kong Bai that had hit her head with a club. "It¡¯s you." She had clearly given him the illusion of a perfect life based on his memories. If so, how had he left the illusion?

    Kong Bai sneered. "You wish to scam me with a mere illusion?"

    Mei Ling focused her gaze on Kong Bai. "How did you find out that it was fake?"

    Kong Bai sneered. "I have been single all these years. No female has ever told me that she loves me, not a single one. And suddenly, that perfect goddess in the dream actually confessed her love toward me? How ridiculous. Even if I think with my feet, I can figure out that there is a trick somewhere."

    Mei Ling: "..."

    She felt like this species before her was somewhat different from the ancient race she had once met. Perhaps, this was a newly appeared species that had mutated from the ancient race?

    Her eyes gleamed coldly. "If so, I shall kill you." The only thing that mattered was getting the strongest Han Y under control. This Kong Bai before her seemed rather weak. As long as he was killed...

    Just as she was contemting what to do, suddenly, the energy weapons on the buildings nearby suddenly activated. At the lowest intensity possible, the weapons started sting the bodies of all the gic warriors present. Instantly, they were all roused from their dreams.

    ?? Damn it! Mei Ling¡¯s expression changed abruptly. Someone else had remained awake as well? No, that wasn¡¯t possible. All the warriors here...

    She nced around and, with astonishment, found that the person who had awakened everyone with the energy weapons was actually not a gic warrior. Rather, it was a technician responsible for maintaining the weapons. A technician in their 40s.

    Mei Ling was rmed. "How is it possible you to leave the illusion as well?" She could overlook the fact that these gic warriors could escape the illusion, but now, it seemed like even a normal technician could see through her illusion? Had she been in hibernation for too long, so long that she did not notice that the people of this new era were no longer controble using illusions?

    With sorrow, that person replied, "Why, you ask? Well, how is it possible for a nerd programmer like me to actually have a girlfriend?"

 Chapter 478: Awaken

    Chapter 478: Awaken

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    It would seem like everyone was now capable of reawakening from her illusion. Han Y, Kong Bai, even that technician. Their awakening caused Mei Ling¡¯s ability to look like a joke. This ability that had once dominated the world during the era of the ancient race was no longer of any use in this new era. The dreams Mei Ling induced in one¡¯s brain were too beautiful, so beautiful that they became unreal.

    Granted, the ability¡¯s immersion was still able to cause a lot of people to believe in the dream. However, for those who had never believed that such a thing could actually happen to them, this ability was ineffective. An example was Han Y, he who could not believe that Xie Zhongtong would actually be willing to live with him alone. A second example was Kong Bai, who could not believe that someone would actually confess her love toward him. And a third example was the technician, who refused to believe that a nerd programmer like him could actually obtain a girlfriend.

    "???"

    Mei Ling was somewhat dumbstruck. It was truly beyond her expectations that, after so many years of hibernation, she would no longer be able to keep up with the new era, akin to someone who was still using outdated memes on the inte after everyone had moved on to new memes.

    Were these people truly the ancient race? Their thought process was truly tooplicated. One ought to know that during their era back then, any sort of romance had absolutely been an affair between only two people. Moreover, nobody so ugly that they could never find love like Kong Bai had existed back then, and a technician back then had been a person worthy of respect rather than someone incapable of obtaining a girlfriend.

    Mei Ling nked. What era had she awakened in? She had a feeling that the devil race had chosen the wrong era to reawaken.

    Pu!

    The newly reawakened Han Y stabbed at Mei Ling once again. He truly couldn¡¯t tolerate this person who dared to toy with his love toward Xie Zhongtong. Apanied by her confusion, Mei Ling¡¯s life perished. Even in death, she was still unable to understand the kind of era the devil race had reappeared in.

    Pu!

    Her corpse copsed onto the ground. Han Y pulled his hand back coldly. The rain poured down, highlighting his cold and imposing appearance. At this time, those of the Gic Union all regained their consciousness as well, each of them with an ashamed expression on their face. Their lives had nearly been harvested by the enemy earlier. They had truly been too careless.

    "Be on high alert," Han Y stated coldly.

    They were extremely ashamed. "Yes."

    Shua! Shua!

    The rain was still as heavy as ever. The reawakening of the devil race members might have seemed endless, but after the appearance of that Mei Ling earlier, they knew that the number of devil race members still contained in the soil beneath them was now rather low in amount. The normal soldiers of the devil race here were probably all dead already. Those who would appear next would be those at the level of Mei Ling. Perhaps the next batch of reawakened would be the final goal of the devil race this time.

    Everyone maintained their vignce. As for Han Y, his expression became colder. At this time, the shameless Xu Fei walked over and cautiously asked, "Erm, the Xie Zhongtong you mentioned earlier..."

    "You have seen her before?" Han Y asked as his eyes gleamed with killing intent.

    Shua!

    The weapon in his hand was aimed straight at Xu Fei.

    Xu Fei waved his hands hastily. "No! I have only heard of her from Chen Feng."

    Han Y¡¯s gaze sunk. "Oh? She has mentioned Chen Feng before as well."

    Xu Feiughed. "Mhm, they are friends. At that time, Chen Feng even told me that he would introduce me to Xie Zhongtong."

    Bang!

    Xu Fei was flung into a particr building, copsing the entire building. Han Y red at him coldly. "You dare think of taking advantage of her?"

    "No, definitely not!" Xu Fei scrambled up and waved his hands nonstop. "Bro, I¡¯m only trying to get close to you. Let me tell you, you might see me as a young person, but in fact, I am an expert yboy. As my family is rather well off, back then, the number of girls I saw probably numbered 800, if not 1,000. Perhaps I might be of help to you in this."

    Shua!

    Han Y continued gazing at Xu Fei coldly. However, the pressure he was subjecting Xu Fei to was now gone. Xu Fei wiped his sweat before asking, "How did the two of you meet?"

    Xu Fei was in fact trying his utmost to get close to this expert of the Gic Union by making use of this free time while no new devil race members were appearing. After all, this guy was the boss of the boss of the boss of the boss of his boss.

    Han Y was a person who preferred to keep his sentences short. "A while ago, when I was hunting for Mysterious Organization members, I discovered her being... Next, I killed all those fellows from the Mysterious Organization. Unexpectedly, she... Only toward the end did I find out the truth."

    Despite the short sentences, Xu Fei was able to guess clearly what happened. "I see." Due to Chen Feng, the Mysterious Organization was in deep trouble, to the point that their own members were abandoning them. Next, Xie Zhongtong had probably escaped as well, resulting in what had happened next. Perhaps after "doing" it with her, this Lord Han wanted to take responsibility for what he had done. Unfortunately, she wasn¡¯t the least bothered with him and continued on with her "happy days." Thereupon, this Lord Han had been stuck deeper and deeper in this pit of love and hatred. He couldn¡¯t bear doing anything toward the woman he loved and had ultimately remained stuck in this huge dilemma.

    Xu Fei was very sure that if this story of Han Y¡¯s was written as a novel, it would most definitely sell well. A two-person love story featuring Han Y, the domineering and cold male lead, and the innocent and vivacious Xie Zhongtong, who had a rather unique worldview, as the female lead. What a perfect plot.

    Xu Fei¡¯s confidence surged. "Don¡¯t worry. I will help you reeducate her and adjust her worldview."

    Han Y looked at Xu Fei doubtfully. "For real?"

    "Of course," Xu Fei bragged without any inhibition. "After all this is over, I will deal with her for you."

    "All right." When Han Y looked at Xu Fei once again, his gaze was much friendlier. If it was truly possible to readjust Xie Zhongtong¡¯s worldview, Han Y might truly be able to stay together with her. Hopefully everything would proceed smoothly. Naturally, at present, they had to focus on surviving this war instead. [1] 1

    Shua!

    Rain poured down, yet nothing happened. This continued for two whole minutes. Suddenly, numerous miniature life-forms started appearing. From the dark clouds, they appeared and streaked toward the ground, knocking into the ground.

    Everyone braced themselves. "Careful!"

    Pu! Pu!

    The Gic Union warriors shed down, killing those life-forms. Surprising them, from the start till the end, these life-forms ignored the entirety of the Gic Union¡¯s attacks. Just like that, they had appeared suddenly only to be killed suddenly. Their corpses sprawled everywhere, leaving behind numerous puddles of purple blood.

    Hum¡ª

    The purple blood blended with the soil.

    Ka! Ka!

    Instantly, the ground cracked. That huge palm that had been as still as a statue for so long trembled suddenly before breaking free of its frozen state and once again started moving.

    Bang! Bang!

    With a terrifying sound, a dense purple me erupted out of the huge palm, swallowing everything it touched.

    Shua! Shua!

    The ck rain continued pouring down.

    When the bizarre raindropsnded on the me, it burned even more intensely. Amid the endless darkness, the huge ming palm seemingly tinted the entire sky red.

    All their hearts trembled. "It¡¯sing out..."

    ng!

    The ground burst upward, and underneath the palm, the silhouette of the devil race member erged. By the time its entire body appeared, everyone there inhaled a mouthful of cold air at the sight. This devil race member was asrge as a building.

    Howl!

    With a howl, its entire body ignited.

    Hum¡ª

    Above its hand, a clump of me appeared before taking the shape of a huge ming sword. The ming sword flickered with a dazzling radiance, causing the hearts of all onlookers to fluster.

    "What monster is this?"

    Everyone there was shocked. Was this the final boss the devil race was trying to reawaken? This guy here...

 Chapter 479: The Terrifying Devil Race

    Chapter 479: The Terrifying Devil Race

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The world was still shrouded in darkness. Amid the endless clouds, a pair of eyes was flickering with a silver radiance. Silently, he regarded Star City, which was enveloped by darkness. He watched on as numerous devil race members reawakened before being killed by the Gic Union. Nothing seemed to be developing ording to the n.

    Humans...

    He looked at this new race. Initially, he had believed that during the reawakening, they would have to confront the ancient race. Beyond his expectations, after that war back then, the ancient race had vanished as well. Now, humans were the one who ruled this world.

    Shua! Shua!

    His eyes shed. The destruction of each batch of devil race members that appeared was seen clearly by him. He had also borne witness to the strength and methods avable to that organization called "Gic Union." Just like that, in the darkness, he silently observed and analyzed.

    Batches of reawakened devil race members kept dying off, yet he wasn¡¯t the least bothered. For him, they were ultimately all cannon fodder.

    Hum¡ª

    His silvery eyes shed as he hid himself amid the darkness.

    Interesting.

    Everything that happened here, he witnessed with his very own eyes. He had been watching on all along, watching as the blood of the devil race dyed the earth red, watching as the ck soil turned purple and as that huge monster finally broke free from the ground.

    Howl!

    An awe-inspiring roar was let loose from the monster¡¯s mouth. The formidable power the monster was emanating caused one¡¯s heart to fluster as they realized that this monster was a peak A ss¡ªa peak A ss in the truest sense. Comparatively, this was equivalent to a human that had mastered a 6-star secret art, a powerful gic warrior that no ordinary person could hope to match. This monster here, with its tough skin and huge size... It was likely that its pure physical strength alone was already as strong as a peak A ss.

    Xu Fei charged forth fiercely. "What is there to fear?"

    Pa!

    With a single p, Xu Fei was smashed away and flung out like a shot artillery shell.

    Bang!

    He smashed into the ground, leaving a huge crater.

    "The strength of this fellow... Damn it, his physical strength alone is already equivalent to an A-ss." Xu Fei grimaced in pain. "Charge together!" Han Y bellowed coldly. At that, all the Gic Union warriors made their move.

    Bang! Bang!

    The battle began. Several tens of Gic Union members surrounded the single devil beast, yet they still seemed disadvantaged.

    "This beast is too huge!"

    "We are at a loss facing it."

    Their expressions were unsightly.

    "?"

    "Its skin is strong enough to resist your attacks?"

    Han Y couldn¡¯t understand the reason they were disadvantaged. He was aware that this beast had powerful physical strength. However, despite how strong the beast was, could it be immune to the attacks of A-ss warriors? After all, they had so many A-ss warriors here...

    One of them smiled bitterly. "It¡¯s not because of that. The problem is that its skin is too thick."

    "Mhm?" With a confused expression, Han Y triedunching an attack.

    Bang!

    As his attacknded, an intense vibration sprang up through his hands.

    "This feeling..." Han Y¡¯s expression changed slightly. He had indeed hit the target. His weapon had indeed been stabbed in. However, the moment his weapon had stabbed into the skin, with sorrow, he had found that the thickness of the skin exceeded the length of his entire weapon.

    It was too thick! It was no wonder that all the gic warriors here appeared stupefied.

    "We can¡¯t do anything at all."

    "I reckon his skin is at least a meter thick..."

    "Too scary."

    "Who¡¯s capable of inserting through it?"

    "My attack tore out half a meter worth of skin from this beast, yet this beast did not even feel anything from my attack."

    "What if our attacks are focused?"

    "That won¡¯t work; it¡¯s healing too fast. Before all the attacks cannd, it will have already healed up from the previous attacks. This fellow is simply like a huge meatball."

    They all felt helpless. Nearly all their attacks failed to pierce through the skin of this beast. This final devil race member was truly too formidable, so formidable that it gave one a stifling feeling.

    "Why not try stabbing its chrysanthemum?"

    "I tried. It failed."

    "How about attacking its vital parts?"

    "Only some skines off from those attacks..."

    "Sigh."

    "How good would it be if we had some piercing abilities..."

    They all sighed. Piercing abilities had never felt so precious to them. With the appearance of the devil race, with their skin and physical characteristics, piercing abilities would most certainly be extremely popr among humans from now on. s, for now, they would still have to rely on what they had.

    Everyone looked at Han Y. "What do we do?"

    Bang! Bang!

    That devil beast was wrecking destruction in Star City in an absolutely unrestrained manner. None of them were capable of stopping it.

    Han Y had also tried unleashing his strongest attack, yet it had been blocked by that devil beast¡¯s huge ming sword. That taught them that this beast here wasn¡¯t exactly a fool that would stand there and take on all attacks. After all, the devil race was unlike those ordinary beasts. Despite their appearance that resembled mutated beasts, the devil race was a race with wisdom. A thick and sonorous voice traveled to their ears. They could seemingly hear that beast jeering at them.

    Howl! Howl!

    With two loud howls, the ground started trembling as numerous gigantic beasts that looked the same as that huge beast started appearing from the ground. Two, three, four, and more.

    Soon, nine extra such beasts had appeared.

    "Nine more."

    They paled as they saw this. Each of these beasts was as powerful as a peak A-ss warrior. Nearly surpassing A ss, to be precise. If there was only one here, they could still have tried working together, but now there were 10 of them...

    "Howl!"

    As the 10 beasts howled together, the killing intent they emanated was sufficient to paralyze someone.

    Surprisingly, Han Y became calm after seeing them. "Finally, you guys have shown yourself... Is this your final trump card? Ten devil beasts? If so, it¡¯s our turn, the Gic Union¡¯s turn, to make a move. Senior, please," Han Y said while facing empty air.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. Abruptly, several silhouettes of light appeared midair.

    Hum¡ª

    An old man appeared out of thin air. Staring attentively at the devil beast, he slowly stretched out his finger. Next, an indescribable pressure converged at the tip of his finger. Slowly, the old man pointed downward.

    Pu!

    A hole appeared on the forehead of one of the devil beasts. Dead! The rest widened their eyes as they saw this. Dead? Holy shit! This terrifying devil beast was dead just like that? They were aware that the Gic Union would most certainly have deployed some scary seniors here. Unexpectedly, the expert that had appeared was actually this powerful!

    Bang!

    The devil beast copsed onto the ground, akin to a skyscraper copsing, bringing about a loud bang as itnded. At this time.

    Pu! Pu!

    The old man pointed down several times, and with that, several bloody holes appeared. Apanied by loud bangs, the 10 terrifying devil beasts copsed loudly onto the ground just like that. The devil race had been eliminated.

    Shua!

    Instantly, the entire areapsed into silence.

    "Many thanks, senior," Han Y said. At this moment, two other silhouettes that had appeared at the same time as the old man gazed toward the empty air up in the sky.

    Xiu!

    One of them pointed at the air. Instantly, numerous mournful screams resounded from the sky before several devil race corpses rained down,nding on the ground beneath the sky. As for the other silhouette, he merely gazed up at the sky.

    He uttered a single calm word. "Please?" Next, light started swirling as a terrifying gust of power surged out.

    Shua!

    Instantly, the darkness shrouding the sky cleared. The darkness receded rapidly and the ck rain within Star City evaporated cleanly. Next, that terrifying gust of power pierced through the cloud, puncturing the thickyer of clouds. Finally, the sky was once again bright.

 Chapter 480: Weaker Than Imagined

    Chapter 480: Weaker Than Imagined

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Star City.

    The sudden eruption of gold reverberated through the darkness. Enveloped by gold, the Star City that had been shrouded by darkness underwent rebirth. All the devil race corpses and bloodstains were cleared under the gold radiance. After a long time, when the gold finally dissipated, Star City regained its previous appearance.

    The devil race was no more.

    The ck rain was no more.

    Even the soil that had been dyed ck had recovered its original color.

    We did it?

    Everyone remained in a long stupor. A second earlier, Star City had still been shrouded by darkness, the devil beasts wreaking havoc and dealing damage in an absolutely unrestrained manner akin to fiends. The next second, Star City had regained its previous appearance. The sun that had been missing for a long time was shining upon them once again. In the sky, a rainbow had even appeared.

    "We won?"

    "We resisted the invasion?"

    They looked at each other nkly. The silhouettes of the three old men up in the sky swept their gazes past the people there before nodding in a satisfied manner.

    A gentle voice could be heard saying, "You guys have been working hard."

    Hearing that, all their hearts shuddered. They might not have been able to recognize the appearance of that old man, but that voice... was precisely the voice they would hear frequently in some of the sses they had been attending. The owner of this voice, the person akin to a living textbook, was precisely the deputy president of the Gic Union.

    "It was only through the perseverance of all of you that we managed tost till the end. Without that, if we had moved prematurely, all this would have been naught." The deputy president sighed. None of them had dared to underestimate the devil race invasion. Capable of shrouding the entire world in darkness, the prowess of the devil race was apparent. The news regarding the uing full-scale invasion by the devil race had indeed rmed the entire Gic Union. As such, they had prepared in advance for this, resulting in everything that had happened today.

    They had been unaware of the total number of waves the devil race would be sending. As such, the strongest trump cards they had prepared had to wait till the end before making their move. If they had moved earlier and ended up being targeted by the devil race, it was quite probable that they would have been unable to save everyone during the final moment.

    Chen Feng...

    Suddenly, they recalled that child. It was precisely that child called Chen Feng that had been hiding undercover at the Mysterious Organization, obtaining information regarding this secret that would otherwise have remained undiscovered. It was precisely due to him that this invasion of the devil race¡¯s had failed. That child had contributed greatly in this defense against the devil race.

    "Thank you all. Every single second you guys held on was in itself a contribution to the entire world," the deputy president stated as he regarded the gic warriors covered in wounds. Since there were some gic warriors with formidable healing abilities, there were no actual casualties. However, nearly all of them were injured. This had truly been a rather difficult battle.

    They all beamed. "It¡¯s nothing."

    Shua!

    The sun shone upon them. In the sky, the darkness that had enveloped the world for quite a while was now receding starting from the region near Star City.

    Hum¡ª

    Presently, the sunshine here at Star City was akin to the only sunshine in existence in this world. So very dazzling.

    They were finally able to feel relieved.

    "It¡¯s finally over."

    They patted the shoulders of Xu Fei and Kong Bai. "It has been hard on you guys." The sudden appearance of these two was the reason they had been able tost this long.

    "Hehe."

    They exchanged nces and smiled, yet doubt could be seen in their eyes. From how this was progressing, things seemed somewhat different than Chen Feng¡¯s prediction. From what Chen Feng had predicted, the devil race members that would be invading would be extremely terrifying, so terrifying that even peak A-ss warriors would be helpless. There would be numerous casualties, and the entirety of Star City would be destroyed. Now, though...

    Xu Fei was doubtful. "Is it because of the involvement of the Gic Union?"

    Kong Bai shook his head. "Perhaps."

    Since Kong Bai was a person with the power of transmigration, he was aware of the changes a sequence of events could have on the course of history. Had this ended so easily due to the excessive strength of the Gic Union? The Gic Warriors at Star City were immersed in the joy of their victory.

    At a certain location, Chen Feng nced around. When the gold radiance had spread through Star City earlier, that vast power had been so strong that it had caused his heart to flutter. That was most certainly the power of someone surpassing A ss, a superexpert in the truest sense. This proved that the boss of Gic Union was most certainly someone surpassing A ss.

    After the gold radiance had swept past them, the entirety of Star City, ck soil included, had been thoroughly cleansed. That caused the devil race to have no way of further concealing themselves. By right, they should have all died as well. However...

    Chen Feng nced at his Luck Aura¡¯s warning signal, which was still flickering red.

    "Spirit, does the devil race still exist?" Chen Feng asked in a low voice.

    "Yes," Spirit confirmed.

    "Are they remnants that survived this battle?" Chen Feng guessed.

    Spirit shook her head. "No. With luck value, I obtained an estimate of the strength of the devil race. The danger level of the devil race members that invaded this time was extremely high. Regardless of it being before the devil race¡¯s awakening here in this city or after their destruction at the hands of the Gic Union, their danger level has remained the same."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted violently. What? Remained the same? What did that signify? This signified that even the death of the devil race members today, including the 10 terrifying peak A-ss devil race members earlier, had no effect whatsoever on the total strength of the devil race. In other words, what they had seen today had all merely been cannon fodder. Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s body chilled. "Peak A-ss cannon fodder?" The devil race invasion was much more powerful than his initial estimation.

    "What should we do, then?" Spirit asked. "Shall we use luck value to force them out of hiding?"

    Chen Feng shook his head. "No."

    The devil race was too terrifyingly strong. If he got himself involved now, the consumption of his luck value would be too high. The little amount of luck value he had in him had to be saved for something more important. As for those from the Gic Union...

    Chen Feng gazed at them. If they were unable to even detect the devil race members, it was pointless to even try saving Star City. Everyone should just return from where they hade from. At this time, amid the victorious cheers...

    "Do not rx." Han Y¡¯s cold gaze swept past them. "Maintain your vignce as necessary. The rest of you, start cleaning up the battlefield."

    The deputy president smiled. "Don¡¯t worry. The darkness has already been expelled. The devil race can no longer show themselves here..." Before he could even finish his words, his gaze that was focused on space paused suddenly. After the momentary pause, a dazzling gold radiance shone out of his eyes.

    Bang!

    A golden ray surged out, revealing two dark silhouettes.

    The deputy president sneered. "Hmph. Surprisingly, there are still two remnants here."

    A melodious voice resounded. "We have been discovered, eh?" The hovering figure was a white feline-like life-form. Despite the fact that it was standing on two feet, despite the fact that it was wearing clothes, one could still clearly see that this was a cat, a shiny white cat as beautiful as a precious stone.

    "Clown." The deputy president seemed resentful of its sudden appearance. Just as he had bragged that the darkness had already been expelled, these two devil race folks had appeared? As he thought of this, he pointed down with a single finger. "Die!"

    This single faint word was seemingly filled with a might capable of shattering space.

    Xiu!

    Instantly, a terrifying power descended upon the forehead of that devil race member. s, something astonishing happened next.

    Hum¡ª

    An ancient imprint flickered into existence on that devil race member¡¯s forehead, blocking the deputy president¡¯s attack.

    "Aiya." The white cat licked its sharp ws yfully. "You are even weaker than I imagined."

    Behind the white cat was a different devil race member that had remained silent. This was a species never seen before. Its body shimmered before abruptly multiplying itself numerous times. Instantly, tens of thousands of devil race members that looked exactly the same as it appeared. Each of them was at the power level of an A ss.

 Chapter 481: By Myself, I Am Equivalent to an Entire Army

    Chapter 481: By Myself, I Am Equivalent to an Entire Army

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Shua!

    The expressions of everyone in Star City sank.

    "How is this possible..."

    Their bodies chilled. So this was the actual trump card of the devil race? They had initially believed that they had already killed off a huge amount of devil race members. Even if there were some remnants left somewhere, it wouldn¡¯t mean much. Unexpectedly, they had actually missed such powerful devil race members.

    The deputy president focused his gaze on them. "You two are not part of those who awakened this batch." It was obvious that those who had reawakened this time had all been killed. Moreover, when these two talked, their train of thoughts appeared rather clear. They did not resemble newly reawakened devil race members at all. Therefore, these two were most certainly devil race experts that had already reawakened earlier at some other location where the concentration of ck rain was the highest. If so... "Since the both of you possess such strength, why didn¡¯t you move earlier with those devil race members?" the deputy president asked faintly.

    These two were extremely powerful. However, it was precisely because they appeared excessively powerful that the deputy president started doubting them. If they had attacked together with those recently reawakened devil race members, the Gic Union would have been helpless.

    Why had they allowed those powerful devil race members to die like cannon fodder? What trick were these two hiding?

    The white catughed. "Hehe. What other reason could there be? Obviously, we were waiting for you three old geezers. Although we weren¡¯t able to detect the three of you earlier, from the aura of experts lingering in the air, we were able to sense that the three of you were indeed somewhere nearby... Therefore, to be safe, we decided to let those fellows charge in as cannon fodder," the white cat stated indifferently. "In any case, to kill all of you here, the two of us are already sufficient. Am I right, Qi Liu?"

    Beside the white cat, the numerous Qi Lius replied together. "Yes." The hearts of the gic warriors shuddered at this sight. When so many A-ss experts replied at the same time, the oppression posed by their voices was truly...

    The deputy president sneered. "Do you believe that this will do?" He felt that the reason given by this white cat was somewhat ill-founded. Next, with a cold gaze, he stated, "Oh well. I suppose we only need to kill you two and things will end for now."

    Bang!

    Without hesitation, he made his move. A brilliant radiance erupted. The deputy president and the other two people beside him moved at the same time. A boundless power started descending toward the white cat. s, once again, that imprint appeared.

    A crafty smile appeared on the white cat¡¯s face. "It¡¯s useless, yo."

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    The imprint flickered as it defended, rendering all attacks ineffective.

    Finally, the expression of the deputy president changed slightly. "How is that possible?" He was clear on the strength of the three of them. Let alone a peak A ss, they could even destroy those surpassing A ss with their earlier attack, but this fellow here...

    "Qi Liu, I will be relying on you, then." White cat sneered before continuing, "Destroy them all."

    "Don¡¯t worry," QI Liu replied coldly. "By myself, I am equivalent to an entire army."

    Kill!

    Numerous figures streaked out.

    The numerous clones, each with A-ss power level, charged toward the gic warriors. The deputy president tried to intercept their charge yet was stopped by the white cat. "The opponent of the three of you shall be me."

    The deputy president¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Damn it!" He and the other two with him, who were actually here as clones, solidified their clones once again and started attacking as numerous gold radiances bloomed. s, the attacks were ineffective.

    "I told you," the white cat stated, disappointed. "Your attacks are too weak."

    Bang!

    Once again, a battle erupted. Different from the previous battle, this battle was a one-sided oppression, total oppression of the entirety of Star City by a single white cat and a single Qi Liu. Even with the clones of the deputy president and the other two here, they failed to do anything to help. The oddest of all was the fact that the white cat and Qi Liu truly had the power level of only peak A ss.

    After all, the ck rain hadn¡¯t been falling for long. As such, those devil race members that had surpassed A ss had yet to appear. Even with the never-ending ck rain at the unknown regions thus far, it was still insufficient to sustain the reawakening of those surpassing A ss. s, would they truly be eliminated by only two peak A-ss devil race members?

    Their hearts chilled as they thought of this. The peak A-ss devil race members were actually this powerful?

    "Careful!"

    "The main body must be among these clones. After killing the main body, he will die for real."

    "How are we supposed to locate the main body, though?"

    Everyone started concentrating their gazes.

    There were so many clones of Qi Liu here, and each of them looked the same. Even their auras and strength were the same. As such, forget actually killing the main body, they were unable to even locate the main body. Moreover, different from humans, Qi Liu was a devil race member. This was a sphere-sized life-form with yellow skin in the truest sense, unlike the pseudo-yellow of human skin.

    Some tried chopping down at the yellow skin, yet their attacks instantly bounced off. This was truly an odd life-form with excessively powerful defensive power. Killing it? It was near impossible. On top of that, the gic warriors were presently outnumbered. Those huge yellow spheres were all bouncing around and attacking all the gic warriors there. With their high vitality, the gic warriors all despaired. What else could they do? Let alone killing the main body, they couldn¡¯t even kill a single one of the clones.

    "Hehe."

    On top of all that, these clones were not mere duplications. Each of them seemed to have their own consciousness, appearing extremely lifelike and making it difficult to ascertain which of them was the actual main body.

    "Things are getting really troublesome now..."

    They despaired. Presently, the Gic Union members were at a true impasse. Surrounded by Qi Lius, they could only defend themselves passively. The more the battle raged on, the worse off they were. If this continued on, they would die from exhaustion before long.

    How about the deputy president? Instinctively, they gazed at the deputy president with a begging gaze. Next, the sight of three flustered and exasperated old men entered their field of vision. Those three were attacking the white cat without stop, yet they were failing to aplish anything.

    "We have indeed been countered."

    Right at this moment...

    Bang!

    Han Y erupted suddenly, changing the direction of his attack that had initially been heading at Qi Liu toward the white cat instead.

    Hum¡ª

    Another imprint appeared, blocking the attack. Ineffective! Yet another attack had proven ineffective!

    Han Y¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "How is that possible?"

    It was clear that the three seniors had been countered, but now it seemed like his attack had been countered as well? They were simrly peak A-ss existences, yet he had actually been defeated by two devil race members at the same power level?

    The white cat merely looked at him toyingly. "How naive."

    Pu! Pu!

    On Han Y¡¯s body, two additional bloody scars appeared. These two wounds would not hamper him much. s, that ufortable feeling of having failed in his attack could not be erased. They were being oppressed to such an extent by only two devil race members?

    Xu Fei frowned. "Things look somewhat bad..." Was Chen Feng still unwilling to make his move? Granted, he was aware that Chen Feng was merely a B-ss warrior, but every time that fellow moved, miracles ensued. This applied even to battles at a level he wasn¡¯t supposed to be capable of participating in.

    Make your move, Chen Feng... Otherwise I will have no choice but to escape by transmigrating, Kong Bai thought as he inhaled deeply.

    Presently, the Chen Feng that the both of them were thinking about was watching the battlefield from somewhere far away.

    White cat...

    The moment that bizarre life-form had appeared, Chen Feng¡¯s attention had been piqued. Naturally, with the three old men there, nothing too bad would happen for now. Despite the fact that their attacks were ineffective against the white cat, the white cat would not be able to defeat them any time soon.

    The main problem presently was the other fellow, Qi Liu! If this guy wasn¡¯t dealt with, everyone in Star City would probably die.

 Chapter 482: Unrivaled!

    Chapter 482: Unrivaled!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Of course, Chen Feng was aware that he wasn¡¯t capable of facing them just like that. If he went out to face them right now, he would most likely be encircled by the yellow spheres and killed before he could see anyone else. A point to note was the fact that Qi Liu was a fellow using numerous clones to protect itself. At any given moment, this Qi Liu could let one of its clones die on it behalf. If Chen Feng wanted to insta-kill it, it was quite likely that Qi Liu would actually escape alive. Therefore, Chen Feng couldn¡¯t directly do anything to Qi Liu. However, that did not mean that he couldn¡¯t assist others.

    "Who shall I help, then?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s studied the battlefield, looking at the yellow spheres that were all bouncing about. As he saw the numerous spheres, he became somewhat speechless, as it reminded him of a battle of emojis. Look, that sphere that had just smashed Xu Fei away, did that sphere not resemble a smiling emoji? And look at the other sphere that was beating Kong Bai up; did that sphere not resemble a disdain emoji? And the sphere battling the female gic warrior, it looked like a love emoji.

    In Chen Feng¡¯s eyes, all those yellow spheres were simply akin to living emojis. As for Qi Liu¡¯s main body...

    Shua!

    Chen Feng was able to lock onto Qi Liu¡¯s main body shortly afterward. With luck value, these cloning abilities were incapable of hiding from Chen Feng. With only one luck value, Qi Liu¡¯s main body was discovered. Chen Feng noted that the perverted emoji was precisely the main body of Qi Liu.

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. Very good!

    Presently, after failing to attack the white cat, Han Y had returned and started helping others against Qi Liu. s, there were way too many Qi Lius around. Each time one of the Qi Lius encountered a problem, the other Qi Lius came to help. In any case, there were so many of them here anyway. One would be hard pressed to even differentiate them from each other. As such, locating the main body was simply impossible.

    "This won¡¯t do..." Han Y muttered with a cold expression.

    So far, he had managed to deal serious injury to three Qi Lius. s, those Qi Lius had been rescued by other Qi Lius each time it had happened. As such, Han Y simply had no way of looking for the main body. Suddenly, a voice drifted into his ears, "The 16th fellow on the left side, that¡¯s the main body."

    "Who are you?" Han Y asked coldly.

    "The one helping you," that voice replied softly.

    "Why should I trust you?" Han Y replied. Indeed, he had a powerful sure-kill trump card. Unfortunately, that was an ability he could only use once. If he trusted this person and killed the wrong Qi Liu, they would truly be in trouble. He only had one shot to locate and kill Qi Liu¡¯s main body.

    "Because this is also your only chance," that voice stated faintly. "Has Xu Fei given you any ideas on how to be together with Xie Zhongtong yet?"

    Han Y¡¯s killing intent surged. "How did you find out about that?" Clearly, this person had been observing them all this while. Was this also a remnant of the devil race?

    "Let me provide you with an ideal solution, then." That voice continued, "Kill Qi Liu before swallowing its heart. With that, you will obtain its ability to create numerous clones. With this, you should be able to satisfy Lady Xie Zhongtong¡¯s desire, right?"

    Shua!

    Han Y was instantly enticed. This method... Was this a chance for him? He looked at the yellow spheres around him. Should he truly do this?

    Back then, when he had first broken through into A ss, he had discovered his wife¡¯s affair. Due to that, he had dug his own heart out, bing a heartless person. And now, should he be a person with a heart once again for the sake of Xie Zhongtong? The heart of a devil race member on top of it?

    "This is your only chance," that voice muttered faintly. "This is your only way to privatize that ¡¯public car¡¯..."

    Shua!

    The veins on Han Y¡¯s forehead throbbed. "Who are you calling a ¡¯public car¡¯?"

    "If you still fail to get her for yourself, she will most probably end up known to everyone before long..." that voice stated toyingly. "The sixth person to your left. It is approaching you. This is your best chance." Slowly, the voice became deeper and deeper, "For yourself, for Xie Zhongtong, for the Gic Union, and for humanity!"

    Han Y grasped his weapon tightly and looked at a certain yellow sphere that was hidden between numerous yellow spheres. The sixth person to the left?

    Bang!

    Instantly, a terrifying aura erupted.

    "Star! Destroyer!"

    The weapon in Han Y¡¯s hand transformed into a ray of starlight before shing toward that yellow sphere that had a bizarre expression on it.

    Pu!

    The starlight shone dazzlingly. With a single sh, that huge yellow sphere was cut down.

    Han Y¡¯s sudden eruption shocked numerous people. Before they could even react to it, as the starlight shone dazzlingly, all the yellow spheres on the battlefield vanished. On the ground, only a single yellow sphere remained.

    It looked at Han Y, unbelieving. "You..."

    "Not good." The distant white cat had an ominous feeling and tried to move over to assist Qi Liu. Unfortunately, it was stopped by the deputy president.

    Shua!

    Han Y stepped forth. His hand stretched out and grabbed at Qi Liu¡¯s heart. The heart was still pulsing. Resolutely, Han Y pulled the heart out. Apanied by a mournful scream, he pressed the heart into his chest. Slowly, the heart blended into Han Y¡¯s body.

    An astonishing yellow radiance started shining out of Han Y¡¯s body. "Ah¡ª"

    "He¡¯s now yellow..." everyone eximed.

    Xu Fei frowned. "He was originally blue, right?" Initially, with Han Y¡¯s ice cold disposition, his aura had been sky blue, fitting his character. Now, though, as yellow and blue mixed together, the final result transformed his aura green.[1] 1

    Xiu!

    All over Han Y¡¯s body, a dazzling radiance flickered. By his side, the Qi Liu that had still been so mighty earlier started dying. Along with the departure of its heart, slowly, its entire body lost its vitality as the yellow sphere started drying up.

    "Qi Liu!!!" the white cat screeched mournfully.

    Bang!

    The white cat raged and charged toward Han Y, trying to take the heart away from him. s, by the time the white cat arrived, it was already toote.

    Bang!

    The radiance surrounded Han Y shattered, signifying thepletion of his fusion. The white cat first looked expressionlessly at the dead corpse of Qi Liu before looking at Han Y coldly. Ultimately, it turned around and looked at all the Gic Union members.

    "You all... deserve death!" the white cat stated with a sinister tone.

    "Well done," the deputy president praised before looking at the white cat and stating, "Although I have no idea how you obtained immunity to my attacks, you are ultimately a mere peak A ss."

    White cat¡¯s eyes became red in color. "Is that so?" As for the snow-white fur around its body, it turned ck before transforming again into a ck-red color. Slowly, a pair of ck-red wings stretched out of its back.

    "Howl¡ª"

    As it howled, a clump of me ignited around it. At that moment, its power increased dramatically, bing ten times stronger than it had previously been.

    Shua!

    A ck me burned around its body. A single spark of this clump of me was capable of scorching a huge piece ofnd. This terrifying me was evidently strong enough to kill any peak A-ss warriors in existence. In fact, this was not a cat. Rather, this was a tiger, part of the flying tiger n of the devil race, the rulers of darkness.

    ng! ng!

    One step at a time, it walked forth. ck me sparkled around as it stepped forth. Even a tiny spark from this me was sufficient to deal cmity-like damage. This was an extremely destructive me. As the rest saw this, their hearts shuddered.

    "The hell, this fellow..."

    "It¡¯s also immune to all attacks. We arepletely helpless here. How are we supposed to beat this thing?"

    "How about spirit attacks?"

    "I tried. They¡¯re ineffective."

    "How is this possible? It¡¯s obviously only A ss. How can it be immune to spirit attacks?"

    "I have no idea."

    They all despaired. This was also the main source of their grief. They were all simrly peak A-ss existences, yet why was this thing here so powerful that even their deputy president was helpless? Being immune to all attacks, wasn¡¯t this thing here undefeatable, then?

    Its red pair of eyes ignited. "You all... deserve to die!" However, just as it was about to pounce forth, a youth appeared before it suddenly. Having its route blocked, the ming tiger raised its head.

    "Do you truly believe that your ability is undefeated?" that person asked with a smile.

    "Mhm?" The tiger¡¯s eyes gleamed with killing intent.

 Chapter 483: Darknight Devil Tiger

    Chapter 483: Darknight Devil Tiger

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Darknight devil tiger. Your bloodline ability is Divine Eyes, am I right? By looking at an ability being used, you can analyze the structural makeup of that ability before setting a direction to it and modifying it to create an imprint. Ultimately, the result is that, thanks to the numerous imprints you have, all abilities you have seen once are ineffective against you. Am I right?" Chen Feng asked calmly.

    Opposite him, the once-white cat, which was now a ck tiger, was for the first time looking at Chen Feng with an amazed gaze. It was astonished. Even back then, among the devil race, its bloodline had been an extremely rare one. It had only been several days since it had reawakened, so how had this fellow here figured out this secret?

    Chen Feng smiled. "Looks like I¡¯m correct." The rest around him exchanged nces as they realized the reason the tiger had seemed undefeatable earlier. So it was actually due to such an ability?

    "The reason you used all the recently reawakened devil race members as cannon fodder is not because you were hiding yourself as a trump card. Rather, you were using those cannon fodder to perfect your imprint collection, to produce more imprints to deal with us. During this battle, you have seen with your own eyes the majority of the abilities these Gic Union members have. As such, making use of those cannon fodder, you created imprints countering Han Y, the deputy president, and all the gic warriors here. In turn, that means you are nearly undefeatable here on this battlefield," Chen Feng stated coldly.

    The darknight devil tiger remained silent, yet it maintained its gaze on Chen Feng gloomily. This guy was giving him an extremely ominous feeling, causing the tiger to have a feeling of extreme danger. This feeling of danger had exceeded that of even the deputy president.

    "Who are you?" the tiger asked coldly.

    Chen Fengughed. "Me? A mere human. A human lucky enough to witness the holy war between the ancient race and the barbarians back then."

    Suddenly, all the tiger¡¯s fur shuddered. "Holy war! Witness!" How many years had it been since the holy war? Despite the long lifespan of devil race members, they had only survived till the current era through hibernation. As for this guy here... Human? What freak was this? Hold on! How was it possible for the human species to have existed during that era?

    The tiger¡¯s eyes gleamed ominously. "You are lying to me."

    As a response, Chen Feng¡¯s gaze became trancelike. "How am I lying? That was quite a war..."

    Shua!

    With a wave of his hand, countless light particles spread around before condensing in the air. The Sage, the barbarians... everything that had happened back then started reying in the air. Everyone present widened their eyes as they witnessed this glorious sight, witnessing the awe-inspiring strength of the ancient race.

    The tiger became horrified. "You were truly there?" Only those who had actually been present back then could show this scene!

    The reason for that was because the energy undtion from the war back then had been intense, to the point that nobody could obtain the scene of what had happened through divining abilities. Even merely divining certain keywords describing the war back then was impossible, yet this person here was actually able to y out the scene of what had happened back then?

    "Who are you, exactly?" the tiger howled.

    "You don¡¯t need to know that," Chen Feng stated indifferently. "I am only here to tell you something. To be precise, I am here to let the devil race know something, because I believe that they are able to see what¡¯s happening here through you. What I want to say is that the ancient race is still around. Through years of hibernation, your devil race has indeed be stronger. However, after numerous years of development, the ancient race has probably grown even more than you guys. The difference between the ancient race and the devil race is that the ancient race is smarter. They have been hiding behind the scenes. By allowing the devil race to reawaken and battle humanity, the ancient race will be the one to reap all the profits after our war. Please do remember the existence of such a terrifying enemy." Chen Feng smiled calmly.

    The tiger sneered. "Do you believe that, just because of this, the devil race will let you humans off?" A new species known as human, eh? Were all of them this naive? Even if this guy was telling the truth about the ancient race hiding somewhere, the devil race would still not let humanity off anyway. This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak, a world where the weak couldn¡¯t exist.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "No. Regardless of whether it¡¯s the devil race or the ancient race, you guys are all alien races to us humans. For us humans, there is a rather well-known saying: Those of a different race are never to be trusted! The only reason I¡¯m telling you all this is so you won¡¯t die knowing nothing."

    Finished with his words, Chen Feng raised his hand.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance converged in his hand. At this, the tiger took two steps back. Facing this person who had once witnessed the holy war back then, it was still fearful. Otherwise, it would have pounced and tried to kill him long ago. What in the world was this person here?

    Let alone this tiger, even those from the Gic Union were rather confused. They had indeed obtained a small amount of information about the ancient race. All that had been obtained from Chen Feng. But then, the holy war and the barbarians... At this moment, a tinge of mysteriousness had seemingly shrouded Chen Feng.

    At this moment, Chen Feng waved his hand downward. The terrifying attack that everyone was expecting to appear was nowhere to be seen. Just as everyone started to believe that Chen Feng was merely scamming them all, the earth started trembling and an oppressive sound of footsteps echoed.

    ng! ng!

    The earth trembled. An orderly and steady marching sound could be heard. Soon, a group of formidable and burly warriors appeared. Most shocking were their mounts. Each of them was mounted on a hillsea beast.

    "Your imprints have indeed granted you an immunity to all abilities, energy and physical abilities included. Therefore, I am rather curious whether you are also immune to pure physical damage, physical damage delivered without any abilities, without any energy, without any bloodline. Physical damage delivered by pure strength alone," Chen Feng said coldly. Finally, the expression of the tiger changed.

    "Go!" Chen Feng barked.

    Bang!

    The entire barbarian squad charged forth. At this sight, the tiger¡¯s expression sank. A long time ago, during an era long gone, when the devil race had first encountered the barbarian, they had actually yed the role of the barbarians¡¯ prey. As for the barbarians, they were natural hunters.

    "Howl!"

    "Howl!"

    The excited barbarians surrounded the tiger. Sacred me? Immunity? All the immunities the tiger had were pointless against the barbarians.

    Bang!

    The battle erupted. Surprisingly, this was also an extremely one-sided oppression.

    The entire group of barbarians pressed the tiger down onto the ground before beating it up. Despite the formidable physical strength of the tiger, it still could not avoid the fate of being beaten up badly. Suddenly, a bright radiance erupted high up in the air. The one that had been hiding all along were finally making a move. The terrifying power pierced through space before piercing the tiger and shooting straight toward Chen Feng directly. That person was willing to sacrifice everything just to kill Chen Feng.

    The expressions of others changed greatly as they saw this. "Careful!" They had all been bracing themselves for the counterattack of the tiger, yet it was outside of all their expectations that the devil race would decide to sacrifice the tiger just to kill Chen Feng. Even the deputy president couldn¡¯t save Chen Feng in time as the strength behind this attack was definitely not any lower than his strength.

    Shua!

    That attack charged at Chen Feng, and Chen Feng locked his gaze on the sudden iing attack. Was this the devil race as well? Nope. What the devil race could unleash they had unleashed. This was, instead, an attack from the ancient race.

    Indeed ...

    Those words of Chen Feng¡¯s earlier had indeed managed to drag the ancient race into this war as well. From their role as observers, the ancient race had now been pulled into this war as well.

    "Since you are here, don¡¯t have any hope of leaving, then," Chen Feng muttered.

    Shua!

    Once again, his hand was raised. A faint radiance started converging on his hand and coldly, he spat two words out: "God Punisher!"

    Bang!

    An endless white bloomed. The entirety of Star City was enveloped by a scorching white as the terrifying radiance started spreading out.

 Chapter 484: Dear Slimy Senior Apprentice Sister, Where Are You?

    Chapter 484: Dear Slimy Senior Apprentice Sister, Where Are You?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The ancient race had finally made their move. This was something unexpected, yet at the same time, it was expected. ording to their n, the humans and the devil race were supposed to kill each other off. What they had not expected to happen was the one-sided defeat of the devil race.

    Granted, this was merely the strongest of humanity crushing only a small portion of the devil race. However, this was still not something that was supposed to have happened. The strength of humanity that had been shown here was not all humanity had to offer. The same was true for the devil race. The war between these two races should have been on a muchrger scale. The result of their war should not have been so uneventful either. Because of this, the ancient race couldn¡¯t help but make a move themselves.

    s, unknown to them, Chen Feng had been waiting for them to make their move. The moment the ancient race made a move, the devil race would not move as hastily anymore.

    "God! Punisher!"

    A terrifying radiance surged. A frightening power erupted from Chen Feng¡¯s hand, blocking the iing attack. The two attacks shed midair, their shockwave piercing the clouds around them.

    Bang!

    The radiance bubbled up, and subsequently, a silhouette smashed down into the ground. That was a female of the ancient race.

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "You have finally appeared..."

    The ancient race female red at Chen Feng fiercely. "How did you discover me?"

    To avoid detection, she hadn¡¯t even sent her main body over. Rather, she had merely formed a unique clone and sent it to hide nearby. Even the deputy president hadn¡¯t noticed her. How had this guy... s, before she could even finish her words, she was flooded by God Punisher.

    Bang!

    A boundless radiance surged out. The numerous abilities rumbled out like a flowing river, submerging her.

    The female ancient race member: "..."

    What damnable ability was this?

    Pa! Pa!

    The abilities pped her face unendingly, yet even without defending herself, these abilities failed to even hurt her face. The level of these attacks was incredibly low.

    "B... B ss?"

    She widened her eyes at this realization. She did not dare to believe this. She was an illustrious super expert. Measured with humanity¡¯s power level, she was equivalent to an existence surpassing A ss, yet now someone was attacking her with some B-ss abilities? This opponent actually despised her this much?

    She red at Chen Feng indignantly. "You dare..."

    Pu!

    Just she opened her mouth to talk, several different objects¡ªsuch as petrified objects, icicles, and cylindrical objects, all the result of Chen Feng¡¯s ability spam¡ªwere stuffed into her mouth.

    Ka cha.

    She bit down, crushing those objects before continuing to re at Chen Feng furiously. This was humiliating! This was pure humiliation! These abilities were obviously incapable of doing anything to her, yet this guy was actually attacking her with them...

    She was furious. "You are courting death!"

    Xiu!

    She charged forth trying to kill Chen Feng. s, she was only midway there before she was intercepted by the three old men. "We shall be your opponent."

    Bang!

    A battle erupted. This ancient race member that had appeared suddenly was indeed very powerful. She was so powerful that even by herself, she was able to face the three old men without being disadvantaged in the slightest. However, she was extremely furious. The damnable energy being spammed by Chen Feng was still raining upon her...

    Bang! Bang!

    Chen Feng¡¯s God Punisher continued on. The huge amount of energy was still unendingly spamming toward the ancient race female.

    These attacks were all ineffective against her. In fact, these attacks couldn¡¯t even leave a scratch on her skin. However, the chaotic mess of attacks was no different than rubbish as far as the ancient race member was concerned. This guy was actually humiliating her with rubbish? This was too excessive!

    She was filled with hatred. "After I kill these three, I will most certainly kill you." As a person of respectable status among the ancient race, never before had anyone dared to humiliate her in this manner.

    Kill! Kill! Kill!

    The angry ancient race member started raging. The three old men tried suppressing her with all their might, yet they were only capable of stopping her temporarily. From the look of things, this stalemate would not continue for long.

    The others were all shocked.

    "So this is the strength of the ancient race?"

    "How powerful!"

    "They are even stronger than the devil race!"

    Chen Feng curled his lips. "Who¡¯s afraid of who?"

    Bang!

    Once again, a new bunch of abilities were thrown at that ancient race member¡¯s body. Even the Gic Union members were speechless as they saw this. They could also see that despite the huge amount of abilities being spammed by Chen Feng, they were essentially useless against the ancient race member. Was this the ability called... Myriad Illusions? Most probably so. They had once studied this ability as well. After all, this was a unique gene that theoretically contained countless abilities within it. As such, it was able to attract the fascination of countless people.

    However, their fascination ended as far as studying this ability. The moment they figured out how unreliable this ability was, nobody bothered with using it.

    Now, though, they bore first-hand witness to a unique characteristic of this ability¡ªits capability to annoy the enemy. Just look at the furious expression of the ancient race member. That was testimony enough.

    Venom...

    y...

    Swamp...

    ....

    All sorts of bizarre abilities were spammed at the enemy. With Chen Feng¡¯s present strength, these abilities were indeed incapable of damaging the enemy. However, these abilities proved to be extremely disgusting, especially the sticky feeling brought about by his abilities.

    Under normal circumstances, this ancient race member wouldn¡¯t really have been bothered with someone like Chen Feng. She could kill him any time she wanted. Now, though, she was facing the three old men. Despite her confidence in her formidable strength, she still could not afford to be careless. As such, she had to put all her attention toward her battle with them, and it was precisely during such a moment, when she was trying to concentrate, that those attacks of Chen Feng¡¯s became excessively annoying.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Another pile of attacks were spammed at her once again. Even the three old men did not know if they shouldugh or cry. The battling method of this child called Chen Feng was truly somewhat...

    But then, it was still proving somewhat effective, as the ancient race member had been angered so much that she had missed several opportunities to counterattack against them.

    She raged unendingly. "Damn it!" This battle that was supposed to have been a sure win was now turning into a somewhat difficult battle due to that annoying bug called Chen Feng. Moreover, those bizarre abilities spammed by Chen Feng seemed to be gaining strength as time passed. This caused her to have an acute feeling that things were bing bad, resulting in her bing even twitchier.

    This can¡¯t go on.

    Hum¡ª

    Suddenly, a bright radiance shone out of her forehead. A pink diamond appeared there, gleaming brightly.

    This is...

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression became solemn as he saw this. Pink diamond! This fellow was indeed Qin Hai¡¯s senior apprentice sister! Qin Hai once mentioned that his senior apprentice sister might make a move. As for her ability, it was control, enabling her to control the devil race members that were amid the primal chaos. This operation, those awakened devil race members...

    It was quite probable that she had been influencing it all along. Such a method of control went unnoticed even to the devil race members. This was her most terrifying aspect. Now, she had finally been forced out of her hiding. This person here was precisely the final "hidden boss" in this episode of the devil race war.

    With a cold bellow, a pink radiance surged out of her. "Awake, souls among the primal chaos!"

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    On the ground, numerous light particles appeared and started shining dazzlingly. The earth started shaking. The devil race members that had been killed earlier and the tiger that had been killed by her earlier started to slowly stand up, a nk expression in all their eyes, akin to something dead.

    She pointed at Chen Feng angrily. "Kill him!" Even as she uttered those words, Chen Feng was still unleashing a huge amount of rubbish abilities toward her, giving her an excessively ufortable feeling.

    "Kill him! He must die!" she screeched in anger. The newly revived devil race members raised their heads slowly and locked their gazes on Chen Feng. Dragging their iplete bodies, the charged at Chen Feng. These were the entirety of the devil race members that had appeared in this entire war. Even the 10 huge devil beasts and the tiger were included in this attack against Chen Feng.

    The rest chilled as they saw this. "This is getting troublesome."

    The scope of this Star City battle had exceeded their expectations greatly.

 Chapter 485: Descent

    Chapter 485: Descent

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Gic Union.

    There, suddenly, someone raised his head and gazed toward Star City.

    "This power... Have we underestimated the strength of the devil race?" He was somewhat anxious.

    "Don¡¯t worry. They will be able to handle it," the person beside him stated unhurriedly. The reawakening of the devil race, the reappearance of the ancient race, both of these had caused the Gic Union to have way too many things to deal with. As such, they could only spare a small amount of manpower for the defense of Star City.

    "There has been a new breakthrough in our research to counter the ck rain. You might be required there..."

    "A powerful devil race has likely been reawakened at some unknown region."

    "At a certain location, traces of the ancient race have been found."

    ...

    One update after another was received. As he saw these updates, he could only sigh.

    Star City... You guys have to rely on yourself now...

    Presently, at Star City, the recently cleared sky was once again enveloped in darkness. The souls of the devil race members were all revived from the darkness as their corpses started moving again, akin to an undead army. This was precisely the effect of that pink diamond.

    Bang! Bang!

    All the devil race members were resurrected.

    They stared at the numerous devil race members in despair.

    "How are we supposed to beat all this?"

    Chen Feng nced at them. "What are we afraid of? Barbarian squad, go deal with those huge devil beasts. Xu Fei, as usual, go deal with that meatball. Han Y, you will have to deal with that tiger. As for you, Kong Bai... choose what to do ordingly."

    Instantly, the chaotic battlefield was reorganized clearly by Chen Feng.

    Among these resurrected devil race members, the trickiest ones to deal with were assigned to different people ordingly by Chen Feng. As for the rest of the ordinary devil race members, the remaining Gic Union members should be sufficient to deal with them.

    "All right."

    They exchanged nces and once again made their move. After resurrection, the bodies of these devil race members were much sturdier. They had higher endurance, as they were now essentially undead. However, their gazes were all empty, and their overallbat power was also obviously lower than it had been when they were alive. This was the single piece of good news. Everyone epted their assigned task easily. As for Kong Bai...

    Heughed wildly. "Hahahaha! You guys are actually even uglier now?"

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Next, with astonishment, everyone noted that Kong Bai appeared even stronger now. He was obviously a mere B-ss gic warrior, yet he was now capable of crushing those A-ss devil race members. "Come at me, you ugly bastards!"

    Apanied by his wildughter, Kong Bai started wreaking havoc on the battlefield.

    Pu! Pu!

    Devil race members were in by him without stop. Everyone eximed in admiration as they saw this. How powerful. Despite being a B-ss warrior, he was actually able to unleash abat power equivalent to ate stage A-ss warrior. This guy called Kong Bai could very well reign high above all of them in the future. This was a person who would most certainly stand tall above everyone else in the future. s, his looks were truly somewhatcking.

    Bang! Bang!

    Thanks to Chen Feng¡¯s arrangement, the advance of the resurrected devil race members was stopped. Despite their increased durability, these undead devil race members were obviously somewhat weaker now when it came to attacking. As such, all their attacks were blocked. As for Chen Feng...

    Xiu! Xiu!

    A session of abilities was stuffed right into the female ancient race member¡¯s mouth.

    "You!" She was furious. If these were abilities that were actually powerful, she would treat them as normal attacks, but these abilities of Chen Feng¡¯s were incapable of even damaging her hair. These abilities were no different than trash! In fact, Chen Feng¡¯s act of spamming these abilities at her was akin to someone spitting at her. Even more vexing was the fact that she couldn¡¯t do anything to stop him. Her killing intent surged. "You have no idea what exactly is it that you are doing!"

    Chen Feng merely chuckled calmly as a response. "Hehe." From the initial release of his God Punisher until now, he had never stopped.

    Two hundred...

    Four hundred...

    Six hundred...

    Through training, Chen Feng was already capable of unleashing 200 abilities per second. However, to unleash all his abilities, 32 seconds were still required. The reason for this was because he had built up his history of used abilities from the initial 2,300 abilities to the current 6,400 abilities.

    In fact, this was a rather easy feat for him. With Myriad Illusions and his unlimited Wind des, Chen Feng was able to unleash a huge amount of abilities each second. As long as he utilized a small amount of luck value, he could release a huge amount of abilities he had never used before, building up his history of used abilities.

    As such, discovering new abilities contained within his Myriad Illusions hadn¡¯t posed him many problems despite the fact that the majority of these abilities were actually rather useless abilities and were only there to make up the numbers.

    Bang! Bang!

    With 6,400 abilities and a firing rate of 200 per second, a total of 32 seconds was required for a full release. This was, in fact, an extremely unreliable cast time. It was truly fortunate for him that the three old men were blocking that female ancient race member for him without even realizing that they were doing him a favor. And now, from the start of the release, 20 seconds had passed.

    So far, a total of 4,000 abilities had already been unleashed by Chen Feng. Now, when his abilities were unleashed, the amplification had already reached 40 times. s, as the abilities he was releasing were still too low in level, they were still ineffective against the female ancient race member. For example, low-level abilities such as Wind de.

    With Chen Feng¡¯s present strength, even an amplification of 40 times wouldn¡¯t be of any use when it was applied to such an ability. Therefore, for everyone present, Chen Feng was still spamming trash abilities. Toward the end, 21 seconds, 23 seconds, slowly, time passed until the final few seconds...

    All the support, defensive, and low-level attacking abilities were nearly done being unleashed. At this moment, Chen Feng¡¯s eyes lit up. It seemed like it was nearly time. He adjusted his posture slightly. This small detail went unnoticed by anyone. The three old men were thinking that Chen Feng was merely trying to distract the female ancient race member, while the female ancient race member was thinking that Chen Feng was purely trying to humiliate her. As such, nobody spared much thought to this action of Chen Feng¡¯s. After all, the difference in their strength level was too huge for Chen Feng to make any difference.

    Bang! Bang!

    As the full-scale battle erupted, that female ancient race member was no longer able to hold her anger in. This was especially true after some sticky and mucus-like abilities were spat right onto her face. Finally, she raged. "You are all courting death!"

    Bang!

    Her pink radiance surged. In the sky, a huge eye flickered before vanishing. Next, the pink diamond on the female ancient race member¡¯s forehead started shining brightly as a power that caused one¡¯s heart to flutter began to appear. This power signified the descent of the main body!

    "Not good!"

    "She is actually trying to summon her main body here into this clone of hers!"

    "Damn it, has this woman gone crazy?"

    Everyone¡¯s expressions changed greatly. The descent of the main body! Although this was not the arrival of the main body in the truest sense, this long-range forceful arrival of the main body into the clone was an ability that would damage even the user herself greatly. This signified that both the clone and the main body would both receive huge damage.

    "Hehe." She sneered. Despite the high price she had to pay, as long as she could kill these annoying bastards, everything was worth it. "Die!"

    The radiance around her hands bloomed. Her first target: the three clones of the superexperts in front of her that had yet to react to what was happening.

    Pu!

    A terrifying pink ray streaked past.

    Pa!

    Instantly, one of the clones vanished.

    The deputy president was horrified. "You are crazy!"

    This ancient race member had gone crazy!

    Pa!

    She pointed once again, destroying the second clone. And now, among the three top experts of the Gic Union deployed here, only the deputy president remained. Finally, the female ancient race member¡¯s gazended on him.

    The deputy president¡¯s scalp felt numb. "It¡¯s over." He was clear that the moment all three of them were eliminated, the entirety of Star City would fall.

    "Descend!" He howled furiously. A terrifying radiance shone dazzlingly as the deputy president tried to summon his main body as well. Only by doing this would he stand a chance at stopping this female ancient race member. s, it was toote.

    "Naive." The female ancient race member pointed midair.

    Shua!

    Instantly, the clone of the deputy president froze midair.

    The female ancient race sneered. "Since the power of my main power has already been unleashed, did you really think that I would give you the chance to descend your main body as well?"

    Pa!

    The clone of deputy president shattered. And now, within the entirety of this huge Star City, there was no longer any superexpert in existence. Yet what they faced was this terrifying female, a person who far surpassed an ordinary person.

    A cold smile appeared on the female ancient race¡¯s face. "Next, it¡¯s your turn¡ª"

    s, she was only halfway through her sentence when, suddenly, a current of seven colors shed past with a resounding bang. Instantly, a chaotic mess of abilities were all stuffed straight into her mouth before exploding loudly.

    Chi¡ª

    Chi¡ª

    Numerous bizarre liquids of differing tastes erupted within her mouth. At this instant, the entire world had seeminglypsed into silence. Everyone¡¯s jaw was left hanging as they disbelievingly watched this scene unfold. They were especially shocked by the sight of that seemingly undefeated female receiving that shot right on her face.

    Xu Fei remained dazed for quite a while after seeing this. "Wow."

    Kong Bai was incredibly rmed as well. "How ferocious." Someone actually dared to do this to a person who had insta-killed their deputy president? How brave! What could they say toward that person? By the side, Chen Feng merely shrugged helplessly. This truly wasn¡¯t something he had nned. The moment God Punisher has been activated, he had be unable to control the spammed abilities. The only thing he could do was stop the ability¡ªnothing else.

    It was not possible that he would stop it willingly, since now, God Punisher was his only hope. He checked the time and noted that the God Punisher release had already reached the final three seconds.

    From now on, all of the remaining abilities that his God Punisher was going to unleash were extremely powerful abilities. After the amplification effect, they would be even scarier. Instead of being the end, this was the mere beginning of his true attack.

    "You dare!" the female ancient race screeched sharply.

    Bang!

    Her pink aura surged as numerous rays of light swept toward Chen Feng. In their path, space itself was ripped apart, demonstrating the unordinary strength of these rays. It seemed like this female ancient race was nning to rip Chen Feng apart instantly without giving anyone a chance to block her attack.

    "Careful!" Xu Fei¡¯s eyes gleamed furiously as he calcted if he could take this attack on for Chen Feng.

    As for Kong Bai, his gaze remained cold as he stood silently, analyzing if his transmigration ability was capable of transmigrating this attack out of this ce...

    Right at this instant, facing that attack, Chen Feng merely aimed forward with his hand.

    Bang!

    Another group of abilities shot out.

    "You still dare to keep throwing out that trash?" The female ancient race was so angry she startedughing instead. Previously, due to the three old men blocking her, she hadn¡¯t been able to do anything to Chen Feng. Now that those three were no longer here, this guy still dared to act so rampantly? s, she failed to notice that this time, the attacks released by Chen Feng were somewhat different from what he had released earlier.

    "This trash¡ª"

    Her pink energy shed with these trash abilities. Right as she was expecting that she would kill this annoying bug easily, she was surprised to find that those trash abilities actually pierced through her pink energy.

    Bang!

    The multipleyers of pink energy were destroyed.

    Bang!

    With a bright explosion, those abilities even pierced her defensive barrier andnded on her body.

    Bang!

    She was smashed backward, smashed to the point her head became dizzy.

    ??

    She was now dumbstruck. What was going on?

    She had actually been smashed away? Smashed away by those trash abilities that hadn¡¯t even been able to break through her defenses earlier? She lowered her head and studied her body. Her initially neat clothes were now torn, and on her originally spotless white jade-like skin were now numerous scars. She had actually been injured by this damnable human? How was this possible? She couldn¡¯t believe this.

    She had been injured by this guy who had been firing nothing but trash abilities? One ought to remember that previously, the abilities that person had unleashed had been incapable of even leaving a scratch on her skin. Was this sudden eruption his trump card? Her gaze became gloomy as she felt like she had underestimated this fellow.

    "Fine. Since you can still mount some sort of resistance against me, I can properly enjoy this feeling of crushing you."

    Once again, she made her move. This time, she was not moving frivolously like she previously had when she¡¯d believed that she was merely killing a bug. Rather, she was prepared to utilize her full power, to teach this fellow who did not know what was good for him a proper lesson.

    Having decided, she raised her head only to notice that the guy was still throwing trash at her like usual. Indeed, he was still throwing out those trash abilities. That guy did not even realize that it was now time for him to release some truly powerful abilities and had instead stuck with spamming that current of trash abilities with bizarre colors. If one had to describe the current Chen Feng, he was akin to a mobile hose, with her being his target.

    Bang! Bang!

    The ray of myriad colors shot straight at her.

    She inhaled deeply. Although she had no clue what this fellow was firing at her this time, due to the previous injury she suffered from him, she decided to face this person like she would an opponent at her level.

    "Starworld Defense!"

    Hum¡ª

    A huge defensive barrier appeared. The same moment her defensive barrier was erected, that bizarre attack of Chen Feng¡¯s arrived as well.

    Bang! Bang!

    With two loud sounds, this barrier that had never failed her started wavering.

    "!"

    This time, her expression changedpletely. This ability she had been regarding as a trash spammer was actually capable of such might?

    Hastily, she replenished the energy supporting her barrier. "Condense!" She did not intend to allow an attack capable of threatening her barrier tond on her body. Naturally, even now, she still couldn¡¯t understand what damnable ability this was, exactly. Unknown to her, she was not the only one who had been rmed by the attack earlier. Everyone in Star City was simrly shocked.

    Such an attack... Was this truly Chen Feng? Earlier, even the trio consisting of their deputy president had only been able to reach a forceful stalemate facing this female. Now, Chen Feng was actually capable of smashing her away? This Chen Feng fellow was actually so powerful?

    With their own eyes, they looked at that chaotic ray of various colors before looking at Chen Feng, the person responsible for firing that ray out. All of them were submerged in a feeling of deep shock, wondering what exactly was it that Chen Feng was firing.

    Even the boss of these gic warriors couldn¡¯t figure out what ability this was, exactly. At least, as far as they knew, this was an ability they had never seen. Presently, Chen Feng was still silently counting down.

    Earlier, when there had still been three seconds left for his release of God Punisher, a huge bunch of powerful attacks had been unleashed. Each wave of his attacks consisted of 200 different abilities. On average, each of these abilities had been amplified 50 times. After 200 such abilities mmed down, even that woman¡¯s strongest defensive barrier had started wavering.

    Now, there were two seconds left. Every single second, his next wave of attacks would grow stronger than the previous wave. Those abilities that had been kept toward the end were all the strongest attacking abilities he had in his repertoire.

    Presently, his God Punisher required 32 seconds to fully unleash all his abilities. However, the first 29 seconds essentially consisted of abilities that were as good as nonexistent abilities. One could say that the initial 29 seconds was no different from a cast time, a mere prelude. The true eruption of God Punisher would happen during the final three seconds. From Chen Feng¡¯s current ability history that contained around 6,000 different abilities, the strongest abilities were all kept toward the end. Along with the amplification, these abilities would erupt with an explosive might.

    As he saw the defensive barrier erected by that female ancient race, Chen Feng merely smiled.

    Time to end this!

    It was now the final two seconds of his God Punisher release.

    Bang!

    From Chen Feng¡¯s hand, a huge amount of attacks erupted.

    Ka! Ka!

    The Starworld Defense of the female ancient warrior failed tost even one second before it shattered entirely. As this happened, God Punisher reached its final second as well.

    Bang!

    A terrifying attack bloomed. The strongest abilities Chen Feng had were instantaneously unleashed. The seemingly endless attacks allnded on the female ancient race, instantly inflicting a serious injury on her. Just as everyone thought that this was the end of Chen Feng¡¯s attack...

    Both Chen Feng¡¯s eyes started gleaming with red, signifying the arrival of the final attack of God Punisher, Chen Feng¡¯s strongest attack, Nethergaze! This was the attack Chen Feng had taken one whole day to condense when facing the head of the Wild Saint family back then. Now, this terrifying attack was unleashed with a terrifying amplification of 60 times.

    Bang!

    The red shone dazzlingly.

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Had it ended? Everyone gazed at the dazzling red radiance. None of them had expected that this battle would conclude in such a manner. A conclusion where the female ancient race member erupted suddenly and killed the clone of their powerful deputy president only to end up killed by Chen Feng in an extremely rming manner. Without a doubt, those trash-like abilities of Chen Feng¡¯s that had seemed like they were only useful for annoying someone had ultimately erupted with a power that caused one to feel flustered.

    "So powerful."

    "I¡¯m afraid this attack has already surpassed peak A ss, right?"

    All their hearts shuddered as they bathed in this bright radiance. After a long time, the radiance faded. On the ground, only arge crater remained. Midair, countless pink particles hovered. These were the remains of that female ancient race member. She had actually been sted so hard her entire body had been forcefully shattered into numerous pieces. Once again, a powerful clone of an expert had been killed by Chen Feng.

    As time passed, those pink particles slowly dissipated.

    It¡¯s finally over.

    Everyone clenched their firsts as they thought this. It was over! Finally, this confrontation with the devil race and ancient race was over. They had sessfully defended the Star City. s, at this moment, they noted that even now, the feeble pink particles were still flickering with a faint glimmer, attracting the attention of countless people.

    They widened their eyes.

    "What is that?"

    "Why is it still moving?"

    "Has the female ancient race member not given up yet?"

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "This..."

    And so, under numerous unbelieving gazes, those pink particles started converging together again. After a while, a wless body appeared there. This was still the same female ancient race member, as beautiful as ever. This time, the number of clothes on her body was significantly lower. The sight of her was so very enchanting, yet not a single person in Star City dared to have any distracting thoughts when it came to her. This female was still alive? She was still perfectly fine?

    All their hearts chilled as they saw this. Chen Feng studied her body indifferently before sighing deeply. "Is there a need for this? Previously, to defeat the deputy president trio, you forcefully poured your energy into this clone of yours. And now, even after your clone has been destroyed, you are forcing the clone back together again. If you do this, how much of your energy will you have left in your main body? Doing this... the gains do not make up for the losses," Chen Feng stated regretfully.

    The female ancient race member¡¯s gaze was filled with hatred. "You have no idea the number of sacrifices I have made. This devil race resurrection n is supposed to be the start of my legend, yet everything has been ruined by you, you annoying bug! I will not allow my previous investments to go to a waste. I will destroy you all and recover everything I have lost!"

    She was filled with hatred. Yes, she was aware that it would be better to have retreated the moment her clone was destroyed. After all, the price she had paid was much higher than she had imagined due to the long-distance clone formation. The only fortunate thing was the fact that her main body was still hidden somewhere safe.

    Chen Feng shrugged. "Is that so? I suppose you have no idea what ¡¯sunk cost facy¡¯ means, then."

    The female ancient race member became somewhat confused as she heard Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng shook his head and did not bother exining. He merely gazed at her calmly. "Even if you had condensed your clone here forcefully, even after paying such a high price, do you believe that you will most definitelyplete this n of yours?"

    She sneered. "Yes, I can. I have already seen through your true strength."

    Chen Feng raised his eyebrow. "Oh?"

    "You are very weak. You are truly only a B-ss warrior. Thanks to that weird ability, your attacks start weak before increasing in strength without stop. Perhaps that ability is weak initially, but ultimately, it is amplified without stop, increasing the strength of your attacks. This is an ability I have never seen before, an ability capable of defying the heavens at its strongest point. However, the w of this ability is too obvious. As long as I deal with you when you first activate the ability, it¡¯s simply a trash ability," the female ancient race member said, a sharp gaze in her eyes.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart shuddered as he heard her. What a terrifying power of observation! He had only used this ability once in front of her! He had even tried disguising his ability using numerous methods, yet this female ancient race member had been able to see through Chen Feng with a single look. Indeed, the biggest w of God Punisher presently was the long duration it required to reach its potential.

    "Normally, such abilities have huge limitations. I don¡¯t know if you can still activate it again. However, it does not matter. I will not give you any opportunities this time." The female ancient race member focused her gaze on Chen Feng. This time, she was truly treating Chen Feng as an opponent at her level. "If you have other trump cards, please do use them. If not... go regret your actions in the eternal hell then." After finishing her words, the female ancient race member moved.

    Bang!

    A terrifying radiance erupted. A pink radiance shone dazzlingly from both her hands as she charged straight at Chen Feng. She was able to see that now, the only person capable of threatening her was this person here. s, all this time, Chen Feng had merely regarded her calmly.

    Chen Feng smiled faintly as he asked, "Do you truly believe that there won¡¯t be any issues even after forcefully exhausting the energy of your main body without any restraint? You must be clear on the type of damage one¡¯s body will suffer after excessive overexertion, right?"

    "I don¡¯t need you to worry about that." Her killing intent remained despite Chen Feng¡¯s words. After forceful overexertion, the worst that would happen was losing the ability to use any energy for several days. For her, this wasn¡¯t much. With her intelligence, she was not the type of person to let Chen Feng waver her confidence with mere words. "You will most certainly die today."

    Shua!

    The terrifying radiance pierced at Chen Feng. Right as her attack was several centimeters away from Chen Feng¡¯s heart, when she was about to pierce through him, her body suddenly froze. This terrifying clone of hers was actually frozen in space.

    "You..."

    Her eyes widened abruptly. Full of disbelief, she lowered her head.

    There, on her chest, a huge ming sword was protruding. The sword had been inserted from her back and was piercing out of her chest. Her heart chilled as she realized this. Most terrifyingly, she still couldn¡¯t see anyone or anything behind her. This was a sword that had appeared out of nowhere.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "What a pity. Why have I baited you here to this battlefield?"

    "..."

    The female ancient race member gazed at this youth before her. From his somewhat mocking gaze, she guessed an extremely terrifying truth: from the start, he had been aware of her existence. Devil race resurrection, darknight devil tiger, despite all those, this young man¡¯s true target had actually always been her!

    "I have been waiting quite a while for you." Chen Feng stepped forth and approached her frozen body before lightly whispering in her ear, "Now, it¡¯s time for you to return. I have a rather nice surprise waiting for you back at your main body..."

    ng!

    Chen Feng¡¯s right hand pointed at her forehead softly.

    Hum¡ª

    A bright radiance erupted. Just like that, the clone of that terrifying female ancient race member started dissipating.

    "I won¡¯t let you off!" she screeched.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. As her clone dissipated, her consciousness returned to her main body. Here, at this ce she had previously deemed the safest, the ce where her main body rested, a youngdy of around 13 or 14 years old was seated before her. On that youngdy¡¯s hand was a huge ming sword, and presently, the sword was stabbed right through the female ancient race member. This was the very sword that had brought her back to her main body.

    The youngdy was smiling sweetly, yet the female ancient race member chilled as she saw the sweet smile. "I have been waiting for you for a while."

    Star City.

    With the departure of that female ancient race member, this ce regained its peace. The remaining devil race members weren¡¯t able to pose much threat and were all killed off. When the Gic Union warriors were done with the battle, they turned around, and their hearts felt heavy as they took in the view before them.

    The devil race had indeed been repelled. However, Star City waspletely messed up as well. This headquarters of the Gene Production Association had now been reduced to mere ruins. Even with this price, would this be the end of the devil race¡¯s attack? After all, this was only the first battle with the devil race. What about the second battle?

    It was said that the royal devil race members were hibernating here. As such, the devil race would most certainly not give up easily. When the next attack came, could Star City still hold on? What should Star City do then? The strength demonstrated by the devil race had indeed surpassed their every imagination.

    Apart from that, there was also the ancient race, which was even more mysterious than the devil race. These two races that had appeared suddenly had nted fear in the hearts of the humans. The strength of these alien races was far beyond their imagination. They had themselves witnessed how even the weakest cannon fodder of the devil race was an A ss. What about their other members, then? This world would likely cease being peaceful from now on.

    After a long time, finally, the Gic Union started wrapping up their affairs there.

    "What to do about Star City?"

    This single question was the one asked most. It was rather impossible for them to actually give this city up. With the devil race aiming for this ce, if they gave it up, wouldn¡¯t that be equivalent to giving the devil race a boost in their strength for free? That was something unthinkable.

    Defending the city? That did not seem doable either. After all, this was still the territory of the Gene Production Association. They were members of the Gic Union and would not be able to stay here to defend forever, yet thebat power of gene producers was rather low, and it did not seem likely that they would be able to defend this city without the Gic Union¡¯s help.

    If the devil race invaded again when the Gic Union members weren¡¯t around, what could they do? As they looked at the messed-up Star City, they felt that this issue of what to do with Star City was a rather thorny issue. As they contemted, suddenly, they all looked at Chen Feng. He was an excellent producer of the Gene Production Association. Moreover, he had also been the biggest helper in this battle of theirs. Therefore, his words would perhaps hold some weight when deciding the fate of Star City?

    They looked at Chen Feng solemnly. "What do you think we should do?"

    "This ce?" Chen Feng nced around. "Just smash this ce ourselves."

    "What?"

    They were all dumbstruck. Sm-smash?

    Chen Feng shrugged. "Yes. This city has already been destroyed anyway. Just look at the craters everywhere. Rather than repairing all of these, we might as well rebuild a new city altogether. Besides, one particr prince of the moondevil n is hibernating here. This is now too dangerous a ce to be the Gene Production Association¡¯s headquarters. If so, we might as well smash this entire city apart, then."

    This...

    Their eyes widened as they exchanged nces. Surprisingly, they found this suggestion agreeable. If so, their next job was topletely destroy this city?

    Presently, at a certain faraway location, some devil race members were gazing in the direction of Star City.

    "We failed."

    None of them had expected that their enemies would actually be prepared to face them. After using everything they could, they had still failed. There was also the damnable ancient race...

    "Don¡¯t worry. There¡¯s always next time."

    "Yes. Next time, we will most certainly reawaken the prince."

    "We will," they stated solemnly. The esteemed devil prince was slumbering there. A day woulde where they stepped into Star City to awake their prince. When that happened, their esteemed prince would most certainly lead them...

    Bang!

    A sudden loud explosion startled all of them. As they looked in the direction of Star City, their eyes all widened. What in the world was that? The Star City where their prince was slumbering had been totally destroyed? All the devil race members were dumbstruck as they saw this. This sudden development had shocked them tremendously.

    This... what the hell? The humans had destroyed their own city? What about lord prince, then...

    One of them charged at Star City furiously. "Prince!"

    "Calm down! Calm down!" Another devil race member grabbed hold of him and stated, "There is still hope for us."

    The first devil was puzzled. "Hope? What other hope do we still have?"

    "Only the shell of lord prince is slumbering there at Star City. Even if the entire city is destroyed, as long as the dust there remains, as long as those particles are still there, a day wille where we reawaken our prince. Look, after the destruction of the city, all the dust hasnded on the soil beneath the city. When humans no longer have their defensive systems, when the ck rainnds, we will be able to awake the prince easily," that devil stated in a gratified manner. As the rest of the devil race members heard this, they exchanged nces in ecstasy as they understood what that person meant.

    Haha! If so... Hold on! Suddenly, one of them looked toward Star City. "What is that?"

    The other devils raised their head and looked over. Instantly, they all nked. "Huh?"

    What they saw was the sight of the entire Star City disintegrating into countless specks of dust. Those specks of dust were supposed to allnd on the earth, yet right at this moment, a sudden gale swept past, and just like that, all that dust drifted in various directions.

    ???

    All the devil race members were stupefied. What was going on? At the same time, where Star City once stood, in midair, Chen Feng was leading everyone as they all used immense fans to blow the dust in various directions.

    Hu!

    Hu!

    The wind blew wildly. Those huge fans were capable of generating rather powerful winds, especially when used by the barbarians. Just like that, the dust was blown away in various directions.

    Everyone nked as they asked, "This... this works? "

    "Of course!" Chen Feng was confident. After all, in his previous world, there was a precedent. A patent had been filed for some huge fans that would be equipped by 15 million people to solve the terrible smog problem in their capital. When that had happened, it had created quite an uproar on the inte.[1] 1 This did not seem like a reliable n, yet surprisingly, the patent had been approved! As such, it had caused a huge uproar back then. Chen Feng reckoned that once this method became normalized, in the future, the sight where cities blew their polluted air toward each other would appear. Naturally, those cities could choose to work together to blow the polluted air out of their country directly. This was something proven to work! As such, when used in a small city like Star City, it would most certainly work.

    Although Chen Feng couldn¡¯t get 15 million people to do it, the gic warriors and barbarians were much powerful than the humans of his previous world. Besides, Star City wasn¡¯t that huge a city anyway. It would be quite easy to fan the dust away.

    Hu!

    With a casual wave by one of the barbarians, half the dust enveloping Star City was blown away.

    "Come, here."

    "Correct, put more strength into it. Don¡¯t stop."

    "Put more strength! More! Yes, that¡¯s right! Faster! Excellent."

    "No, don¡¯t all blow in the same direction. You guys, face that direction. Yes, yes. Correct."

    Thereupon, the dust that was the reincarnation of the previous Star City drifted worldwide. At a certain location, the devil race members that had still had some hope earlier were all dumbfounded.

    ???

    G-gone? Even the dust was gone? When the devil race boss saw the sight of those burly barbarians waving the huge fans crazily, the boss¡¯s worldview copsed entirely. What kind of people were they, exactly?

    "I will fight them with my life!" one of the devil race members howled.

    Two different devil race members stopped him immediately. "Lord, calm down. There¡¯s still hope. There¡¯s still hope."

    The other devil race member despaired. "There is?"

    "Yes! Lord, the dust and soil are mere physical objects. Just like us, lord prince transformed his entire body into energy form to temporarilytch upon that dust. Let alone blowing the dust away, even if the dust is destroyed, the energy of lord prince will still remain. As such, this is not something we need to worry about. From our observations of the humans these two days, we have concluded that they do not have any energy capable of erasing our energy. Therefore, we have no need to worry," the devil race member stated confidently.

    "Is this true?"

    Only now did the other devil race members regain some hope.

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Presently, a thick cloud of dust drifted out from Star City. Under the efforts of the barbarians, the dust was all being blown in various directions. Distantly, ck rain was still falling, and a cold breeze was whizzing through the air. Some of the dustnded before drifting too far away, while some was blown far away due to the strength the barbarians were waving with. And thus, Star City no longer existed. As for the devil prince that had been hidden underground, it vanished together with the city.

    Chen Feng was immensely satisfied. "Look, how easy." The methods of the devil race¡¯s awakening were indeed rather unique. However, after their research, they had concluded that the reawakening was not merely the act of sealing the devil race members underground. Rather, the devil race members had all transformed into particles that had blended with the earth.

    If so, destroying Star City should do the job. This was what Chen Feng believed. As such, he acted on such a n as a counter without any hesitation. With this, he refused to believe that they could still awaken the prince.

    "Will there be any problems?" Chen Feng asked Spirit.

    Spirit shook her head. "Nope. The only way for this prince to be reawakened is if the devil race is capable of recovering every single speck of dust here."

    "Mhm..." Chen Feng pondered. Recovering every single speck of dust? As he pondered, he noted that it was actually quite doable.

    After all, this was the gic era. In this era, anything was possible. Even if the dust could vanish, what about the particles of the prince that were residing within the dust? Would the particles vanish together with the dust? Clearly, that was not possible. As the dust was destroyed, those particles would most definitely leave the dust before dissipating away amid the air and continuing the long wait for reawakening.

    "This won¡¯t do," Chen Feng muttered. Since he had already decided to eliminate the devil race, he could not allow them any chances.

    Chen Feng pondered and beckoned at the technician of the Gic Union, "Do we have any air purifiers here?"

    "Ah?" The technician was somewhat stupefied. "Air... air purifier?"

    He was at a loss. Why was Chen Feng looking for air purifier at times like this?

    Chen Feng nodded. "Yes, those capable of filtering the air."

    "Indeed, we do." The technician smiled bitterly. "However, they can only be used to filter physical dust particles."

    What was this Chen Feng fellow thinking? After all, this was a war between experts, and that dust was, after all, the results of the reawakening ability of the enigmatic devil race. As such, Chen Feng should have some sort of respect for the strength of the devil race, right? He should consider their feelings, right?

    Chen Feng curled his lip. "Well, it¡¯s only a matter of changing the filter cartridge. Get the Gic Union to install an energy sensor on the filter cartridge. In any case, we only need to trap all the dust containing energy undtions."

    The technician was at a loss. "Will this work?" However, since Chen Feng had already made the request, the technician would have to act on it.

    Soon after, the Gic Union gathered several huge air purifiers, and the filter cartridges were changed ording to Chen Feng¡¯s instruction.

    Chen Feng appeared immensely satisfied. "Not bad, not bad."

    Everyone else: "..."

    Would this really work? Chen Feng watched on silently. He was sure that the moment Star City was destroyed, apart from the huge amount of dust blown away, a lot of the dust had also been entirely destroyed as well. Since that dust had already been destroyed, the devil race¡¯s energy that hadtched upon the dust would most certainly still be around here. In the air around here, they would wait until the moment of their awakening.

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "Sorry, you no longer have any chances."

    Bang!

    All the air purifiers were turned on. Instantly, the rms buzzed without stop. They all widened their eyes as they witnessed the numerous reports that were popping out as the filter cartridges started trapping the energy remaining in the air. These air purifiers had actually managed to trap so much energy in them.

    "Within the cartridges, the remains of our energy during the battle earlier are included as well. Filter those out. As for what remains..." Chen Fengmanded decisively.

    "All right."

    Presently, the technician appeared incredibly excited, even more excited than when he had dreamed of finally getting a girlfriend.

    Di¡ª

    Di¡ª

    New reports popped out without stop. Soon, the filtering waspleted.

    With the energy monitoring apparatuses of the Gic Union, Chen Feng separated all the identified energy and the energy that posed no threat. What remained was only an unknown energy.

    "Found you." The technician was overjoyed. "Although we are unable to get any information about this energy, from its structural makeup, it can be concluded that this energy indeed resembles the structural makeup of the ck raindrops."

    Everyone widened their eyes as they saw this. "They actually found it for real?" Air purifiers could actually be used in such manner?

    Chen Feng was satisfied. "Very good. Destroy it."

    "All right."

    The technician started the elimination process. s, it did not seem to work. Disinfectants were most certainly ineffective against the devil race¡¯s energy. How about energy eliminators? Ineffective as well. All methods of energy elimination normally used were tried, and all failed. Even after exhausting every method known to him, the technician had still failed to do anything to the energy. This unique unknown energy was actually something they couldn¡¯t destroy.

    However, this was rather reasonable. If the unknown energy could be destroyed so easily, the devil race would most probably have failed tost this long and would have been destroyed long ago. After all, these were the energy particles that the devil race members had transformed into for their hibernation. Regr methods wouldn¡¯t work at all. What to do, then? Were they helpless apart from keeping this thing around? Keeping it waiting for the devil race to awaken?

    Despite the fact that this was merely a small portion of them, without thoroughly destroying them, the devil race in question would most certainly wake up one day, bringing disaster along with its awakening. Furthermore, other devil race members were still awakening without stop.

    If they could look for a method of destroying these particles, they might be able to purify the soil beneath all human cities. With this, they would no longer need to be worried about the ground they stood on.

    "What to do?"

    They looked at each other before, finally, they all looked at Chen Feng again.

    "Mhm..." Chen Feng frowned. If regr methods were ineffective... Suddenly, Chen Feng raised his head and looked at the dark clouds. Even though the vicinity of Star City was already without the ck rain, this rain was still falling everywhere else. Chen Feng contemted. "Use some of the ck raindrops to try. Since these particles can be awakened into the devil race members using the ck raindrops, perhaps..."

    "All right."

    Soon, someone returned with some gathered ck raindrops.

    Shua!

    The ck raindrops were mixed with the gathered energy.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The particles started shimmering lightly. These energy particles had actually been awakened by the ck raindrops. With his own eyes, Chen Feng witnessed the recovery of the energy particles as they emanated a bizarre aura. Moreover, a formidable and mysterious attractive force was being emitted from these energy particles as well. Nearby, countless dust and particles started nearing the energy particles.

    Everyone eximed in admiration.

    "The particles are capable of attracting other particles."

    "Currently, this particle is summoning the particles that are simr in nature. Perhaps when all the particles have been gathered, they will transform into a powerful devil race member. By gathering all the same energy, the particles will condense together before awakening as a devil race member."

    "So that¡¯s the case."

    With a single look, they all understood this. They felt enlightened. So this was how the devil race members had been awakening?

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The particles nearby started stirring.

    Some of the dust that had alreadynded on the ground earlier was now nearing this particle without stop. At the same time, they had also noticed something.

    "It seems like the further the distance, the weaker the attractive force is."

    "Indeed."

    "Within five kilometers, the attractive force is the strongest. This is quite a huge range, as normally, the particles required for the awakening of a single devil race member are within 10 meters from each other. A range of five kilometers... is very huge!"

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    That particle flickered without stop, and the attracted particles nearby increased in amount as well. s, due to what Chen Feng had done earlier, the dust containing the relevant particles had been blown somewhere else. As such, regardless of what this particr particle did, it failed to attract the particles that were of the same set as it.

    Hum¡ª

    After finishing absorbing the required energy, the particles started condensing into a devil race member.

    Howl!

    A powerful devil race member thus appeared there. However, as they looked at it, they became speechless. That was because this newly awakened devil race member was obviously an iplete version of itself. This was a devil race member with some features of its face missing. On top of that, its chest was missing as well.

 Chapter 490: Awaken, Great Devil Prince!

    Chapter 490: Awaken, Great Devil Prince!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Of course, the missing chest here did not refer to a t-chested person. Rather, it referred to someone that was literally without a chest, only two bloody messes could be seen where the chest was supposed to be. It was clear that this devil race member here was an iplete product. Moreover, from the dull expression in its gaze, it was clear that the intelligence of this devil race member here was somewhatcking as well.

    Chen Feng frowned. "This is the devil prince?"

    The technician analyzed the data. "Nope. From the looks of it, there are still some other devil race members from Star City that have yet to awaken as well."

    "I see." Chen Feng pondered. Everyone else started studying this devil race member as well.

    "Looks like this devil race member is without its brain as well. When the other devil race members awakened, despite being somewhat sluggish in their thoughts, that was the result of their long hibernation. As for this fellow here, its gaze is truly empty, resembling those undead beasts greatly."

    "Indeed."

    Everyone there was endlessly amazed. So they could actually manipte the devil race¡¯s resurrection project in such a manner?

    Pu!

    With a casual wave, Chen Feng destroyed this devil race member. Despite it having the appearance of a devil race member, such a method of awakening had caused this devil race member to pose zero threat. Moreover, it seemed like things would be hopeless for the remaining parts of this devil race member that had yet to awaken together with this devil race member here as well. If so, what about that so-called devil prince?

    "Hehe."

    They all exchanged nces as they suddenly had an idea of what to do. If they were able to, in a simr manner, summon a part of the devil prince out first before destroying that summoned part, what would the fate of the devil prince be?

    "Good idea."

    Chen Feng¡¯s n received their approval easily, and thus, numerous air purifiers were carried over.

    Shua! Shua!

    The energy contained in the dust was all gathered. asionally, when the energy couldn¡¯t be gathered by the purifier, they would personally destroy the dust containing that energy before letting the air purifier absorb the energy. It did not take long for them to gather a sufficient amount of energy. These unknown energies were rather unique. Among these unknown energies, there were some that were different than others, as they actually possessed a certain degree of immunity.

    "This should be the energy particles of that so-called devil prince, right?"

    "I think so." Chen Feng waved his hand. "Time to deal with this prince."

    Shua!

    They started restoring the energy particles. Here at this destroyed Star City, the Gic Union started summoning the devil prince. At a certain location, the group of devil race members that had been about to leave suddenly looked in the direction of Star City.

    "This is the power of the royal n!" With a disbelieving expression, he stared in the direction of Star City. "Didn¡¯t the awakening of the prince fail? Why has this power appeared, then? Does the prince possess other trump cards?"

    As he thought of this, he became excited. At the same moment, countless devil race members were looking in the same direction in excitement. Had the time finallye for the devil race to rise?

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    At this time, with a radiance swirling around them, Chen Feng and the rest watched on with aching hearts. It was beyond their expectations that the attractive force of this unique energy was actually so terrifying. Different from before, this time, all the dust within 50 kilometers of them was stirring.

    "How powerful!"

    "Worthy of being the devil prince indeed."

    "With such range, I suppose 99% of the energy particles can be recalled..."

    "Stop it!"

    "Get some people to move around to intercept those iing energy particles. We can¡¯t allow them near."

    "Understood."

    The Gic Union executed their n speedily.

    They had long been prepared for something like this. As such, the moment the body of the prince started reconstructing, they were already on their guard. Ultimately, the dust containing the energy particles were intercepted before they managed to arrive. The devil prince that was presently awakening was yet another iplete devil race member.

    "I wonder how much of the body will be awakened this time..."

    "The amount of energy particles we allowed entry is not too great. For the previous fellow, around 55% of its body was reconstructed. This time, roughly the same amount of energy particles were used. However, considering how powerful the prince is, the same amount of energy particles might actually consist of even a smaller portion of the prince¡¯s body."

    "Perhaps 20%?" they guessed. If it was merely 20% of the prince¡¯s body, they might be able to defeat it after its awakening. At a certain location, those devil race members that were observing this had an ominous feeling. They could feel that this was not a normal awakening. The energy particles were obviously insufficient for aplete awakening. Suddenly, one particr devil race member understood what was happening. Those damnable humans were actually trying to first awaken a part of their prince!

    "Damn it!" The expression of the devil race members changed greatly. "Let¡¯s move in together!"

    "All right."

    "Condense!"

    "Severe!"

    "Seal!"

    The powerful devil race member pointed at the empty air three times in a row. At that, a terrifying power bloomed and forcefully sealed the gathering point for the awakening of their prince. Since aplete awakening was not possible, they might as well seal the awakening up temporarily. Regardless of whether the energy particles had dispersed worldwide, regardless of whether the energy particles were still in the form of dust, they could not allow those humans to awaken the body parts of their prince separately to be killed.

    After all, this prince signified the future of their devil race. And now, the awakening process initiated by Chen Feng¡¯s group immediately ended.

    "The energy stopped gathering."

    "Whatever. Just make do with this amount of energy particles, then."

    "All right."

    After the absorption stopped, the energy particles startedbining to construct the body of the prince. Due to the limited amount of energy particles avable, the entire body of the prince would not be constructed. Only a small portion of the body would be constructed. However, they had never expected that the portion would be so excessively small.

    The amount of energy particles sufficient to construct 55% of a normal devil race member¡¯s body was actually only equivalent to a single piece of the devil prince. This signified the prowess of that devil prince.

    That technician even chanted imposingly to add to the effect. "Awaken, o glorious devil prince!" s, beyond even their wildest imaginations, the first piece of the devil prince they had reconstructed was actually this particr piece.

    "Mhm..."

    They all looked at that long and cylindrical thing they had awoken, and they sank into silence. It was quite vexing that only a piece of the prince could be awakened. Why would it be this thing here out of all things that could appear? Was this a coincidence? Their gaze became odd.

    "Yes... yes, it¡¯s a coincidence."

    The technician was speechless. Was this a coincidence? That had to be the case, right? It definitely had nothing to do with him.

    Chen Feng rubbed his head. "This is not a coincidence."

    "How is that possible?" In an agitated manner, the technician exined, "I truly never intended to summon this part of the prince¡¯s body. This is truly a coincidence! Although I am without a girlfriend, I am still straight!"

    Everyone else: "..."

    Why was this guy getting so agitated?

    "I know." Chen Feng nced at him before continuing, "What I¡¯m trying to say is that among the countless energy particles of the devil prince, these were the only particles whose dust was destroyed and the only particles of the prince we managed to catch in our filters."

    "Oh." Only now did the technician regained his calm, and he stated in a gratified manner, "Like I said, I am straight."

    Kong Bai nced at the technician coldly. What was the point of having a normal sexual orientation if the person in question couldn¡¯t get any girlfriends?

    Chen Feng: "...Can we summon other parts of this prince?"

    "Let me give it a try." The technician tried gathering more energy particles, yet nothing happened. He checked the data and exined, "The initially stirring dust has now stopped moving. Someone has seemingly interrupted us. Regardless of how we summon them, it is no longer of any use."

    Chen Feng contemted. "The devil race has involved themselves, then?" Well, this wasn¡¯t surprising, to be honest.

    The devil race would most certainly not allow the humans to mess around like this. Even if the prince couldn¡¯t awaken, they would not allow Chen Feng¡¯s group to summon the prince¡¯s body parts separately only to be killed.

    Chen Feng felt rather regretful. "What a pity."

    Everyone else was gratified instead. "This is already good enough."

    "The devil prince is no longer a threat. Even in the future, when the devil race manages to awaken the prince, it will not be able to breed anymore," someone analyzed coldly.

    As the rest pondered his words, they found this agreeable. However, they couldn¡¯t help but wonder if one day, when the devil prince awoke to discover that it was no longer with its "ding dong," would it be saddened? Mhm... what a sight would that be.

 Chapter 491: The Apocalypse of the Devil Race

    Chapter 491: The Apocalypse of the Devil Race

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng pointed at that thing. "So, what to do with this?"

    Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Logically, as a part of the terrifying devil prince, this thing would definitely have a rather astonishing usage. Under normal conditions, this was something everyone would fight over. But... as it was that part of the body... Everyone sunk into silence.

    Suddenly, the technician stated, "Let me take it away first?"

    Shua!

    Uniformly, everyone looked at him with an odd gaze. Thisd here was not straight after all...

    "No, it¡¯s not what you all are thinking." The technician wiped away his sweat. "We can take this thing back to conduct more research on it. We might be able to obtain additional information on the royal n of the devil race through this."

    "Oh."

    Everyone else contemted this. It was indeed quite important to obtain more information. The only reason they could have reached this point today was thanks to the research conducted on the ck rain and the idea thought up by Chen Feng. This would most certainly bring their research into the devil race arge step forward. This was especially the case due to the fact that, from the battle today, they had obtained a huge amount of raw materials for their research.

    There were still numerous bizarre devil race members stalking around, as well as that enigmatic devil prince that had yet to make an appearance, a prince that had been reduced to a eunuch now.

    "When your research is done, we will transmit the data to all our ssrooms."

    "The act of countering the devil race will most definitely be an extremely important course among humanity, moving forward," one of them stated.

    As of now, this affair regarding this devil prince had reached a temporary end. After being in contemtion for a while, everyone was startled awake as the realization finally surfaced in their brain.

    "So... we won?" someone stated suddenly.

    "Indeed."

    Chen Feng patted his shoulder. "We have won. In this Star City battle, we are victorious."

    Indeed, the devil race had been defeated. Their invasion and restoration n had failed. All the reawakened devil race members at Star City had been killed. There was also a chance that the devil prince would never have a chance to appear again. The devil race had been defeated.

    As for that slimy pink senior apprentice sister, she had been pierced through by Wang Yao¡¯s sword. As such, she was most probably dead. Despite the fact that Star City had still ended up destroyed, the ending was different from the "future" Chen Feng had once glimpsed. At the very least, there hadn¡¯t been many casualties among the gene producers and gic warriors. This was the most important aplishment.

    Indeed, they had won!

    Hua!

    They all cheered. Star City had been destroyed. Even the deputy president trio had had their clones destroyed. However, they had ultimately been victorious. All of them stared up at the sky.

    At present moment, the sky above the entire world was still shrouded by a dense ck. The only exception was this ce, this piece of sky above Star City. When they looked up, a bright sunny sky weed them.

    "Report this to the superiors."

    "Decide on a date to rebuild Star City."

    "This very ce is the firstnd purified of the devil race. In the future, this will also be the ce where humanity is the strongest."

    At the same time, at a certain faraway location, a devil race leader that had reawakened not long ago was looking toward Star City in a daze. As it felt the aura of the royal n, as it felt that royal aura that came to a halt while reawakening, suddenly, that devil race leader knelt down and started wailing.

    "Your lowly servant awakened toote! The bloodline of the royal n has actually ended at that ce! Our countless years of hibernation were in exchange for such a conclusion?"

    The cries of grief shook even the heavens. Countless mutated beasts nearly lost their mind in fear as they heard this mournful cry. The devil race leader was submerged in his sadness for a very long time. Casualties were something they could ept. War was something they could ept. The only thing they couldn¡¯t ept was the fact that the formidable devil prince, the most able devil, the most attractive devil, the devil with the strongest bloodline, had actually been transformed into a eunuch!

    Why had this happened? This fateful day was also the day where the numerous devil race members worldwide felt their world copsing upon them. The battle had ended. As the news about this battle spread outward, the entire world was in an uproar. Ancient race... devil race... For the very first time, the information about them was made public.

    "So the ck rain is because of the devil race?"

    "How scary."

    "There¡¯s also that ancient race..."

    Everyone eximed endlessly. The two alien races that had appeared out of nowhere caused them all to feel panic. Despite the fact that humanity had long been looking for alien life-forms to the point that their search had even extended into outer space, they had never expected that the new life-forms would actually be found on this very. The strength of both races was sufficient to cause humanity to panic.

    Humanity was especially rmed when the participants of the Star City battle started spreading the news that even the weakest among the devil race was as strong as an A-ss warrior, let alone the strength of the ancient race that had once scared the entire devil race into hibernation.

    What of humanity, then? How many A-ss warriors did humanity have? There were way too people who had trained their entire lives yet were still stuck below A ss. As such, a lot of people started submitting applications for migration to a different. In this gic era, the advancement of humanity¡¯s technology had long touched the domain of outer space as well. However, before this, space travel had merely been utilized as a form of vacation.

    As for actual outer-space migration, that was something humanity had never attempted. It was said that due to the appearance of the ancient race and devil race, several wealthy families had already exhausted trillions just to contribute to the research of spaceships, trying toplete the research as soon as possible. In this gic era, with a sufficient expenditure, such a feat could very well be aplished.

    Air... Survival... So long as one had money, all these were things that could be made avable.

    Chen Feng rubbed his head as he read thetest news report. "Looks like this will lose a bunch of rich people soon enough."

    Hou Liang curled his lips. "That is inevitable. I have never expected them to actually contribute anything of substance anyway."

    Those rich people were merely trying to reduce the risk this new development would pose on them. Something like this had already been attempted 10 years ago. Back then, a certain big shot had been worried that the unknown regions of this would pose danger to humanity. Bringing around 1,000 gic warriors capable of forming a natural energy ecosystem with him, they built a huge spaceship. With the spaceship, they entered outer space and started roaming the space. That particr spaceship was akin to an independent city in itself.

    Due to the existence of gene energy in that ship, any form of living facility could be constructed within that spaceship. Presently, on that particr ship, the poption had reached 100,000. That spaceship was akin to the Garden of Eden, a dreamlike ce.

    What these rich people were attempting was simr to what that big shot had done back then. As far as Chen Feng was concerned, these people were a tad bit too spineless.

    Chen Feng curled his lip. "You called me here just to listen to this gossip?" The decision of those rich people was ultimately somethingpletely irrelevant to people like him.

    Moreover, was it a sure fact that humanity would be safe just because they escaped to outer space? If one day the devil race reached a point where they could enter outer space as well, those humans would still fail to escape the devil race. The optimal method of dealing with a threat was to eliminate the threat.

    "Of course not." Hou Liang closed the gossip news on his screen and stated faintly, "This time, I am looking for you in rtion to the start of a new project. This is a unique project started by both the Gene Production Association and the Gic Union. Due to your unique identity, they are hopeful that you can take part in this project."

    Chen Feng was astonished. "Oh?" They had yet to deal with the follow-up of the Star City battle, and the new Star City had yet to be rebuilt, but they were already starting a new project?

    "What project?" Chen Feng asked.

    "A project that will enable humanity to contend against the devil race and ancient race." Hou Liang¡¯s eyes shone as he confidently stated, "If this project ispleted, humanity will be strong enough to face the devil race and ancient race."

 Chapter 492: This Works?

    Chapter 492: This Works?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Oh?" Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. He was too clear on how strong the devil race was. Just the first wave of their invaders had already been so strong that the weakest of them was A ss. What of the remaining devil race members, then? Their years of hibernation had obviously been for the increase in their strength.

    Simrly, the ancient race was not to be underestimated. It might seem like at present, three powers were counterbncing each other on this, yet humans, who controlled the most territory, were instead the weakest of the three. The moment the ancient race decided tounch an invasion or the devil racepleted their reawakening, humanity would be finished.

    In this era where the majority of the top existences among humanity were A ss or peak A-ss warriors, humanity was way too weakpared to the ancient race and devil race. What was the n mentioned by Hou Liang, then?

    "Are you aware of the ssification of the strongest existences among humanity at this time?" Hou Liang asked suddenly.

    "Yes," Chen Feng replied without hesitation. Presently, the majority of the strongest among humanity were still around A ss. However, due to the difference in strength between those in the same ss, different tiers were used.

    For example, "beginner A ss" referred to those who had just entered A ss, gic warriors who yet to learn a secret art.

    "A-ss expert" referred to A-ss warriors who had mastered a secret art. Based on their initial strength and the strength of their secret art, there were further subdivisions among these experts.

    "Peak A ss" referred to the top existences among those in A ss. Such was the current makeup of the top existences among humanity. These were also the main pirs of humanity. During the devil race invasion, the 30-plus warriors deployed by the Gic Union had been in this category. All these people were collectively known as A ss, the A ss that themoners knew of.

    "The so-called A ss is merely a single stage," Hou Liang stated faintly. "As for the division of those within the ss, it is rather simple. The present simplest method of division among A ss is rather straightforward. The A-ss experts I have encountered can be divided based on their strength into A1, A2, A3, and so on. This continues all the way until A9. For them, what¡¯s important is to divide their strength into something simple and easy to understand."

    Chen Feng chuckled. "That¡¯s true." He remembered clearly how he had once read on the learning forum that people once divided those in A ss into several ssifications, such as "void into truth," "reversal of thews," "endless energy," "descent of Heaven and Earth," and numerous other different ssifications. There had been even more detailed descriptions on top of all those. Chen Feng had indeed once studied them in detail, yet he had already forgotten all of them.

    Who could actually be bothered with remembering all thoseplicated ssifications? Even though this was the first time he had heard of the ssification of A1 through A9, he already felt that this method was so much better.

    "Naturally, none of that is important." Hou Liang raised his brow slightly and asked, "Do you know about those surpassing A ss?"

    "Surpassing A ss?" Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s heart became solemn. "Peak A ss" referred to those who were theoretically the strongest in A ss. In truth, there were still existences above A ss. These were the people who had stepped past A ss, transforming into an even stronger existence. These were known as "beyond A ss."

    "I have seen them, once," Chen Feng stated without hesitation. "I am aware of the existence of these people beyond A ss."

    Hou Liang heaved a sigh of relief. "It¡¯s good that you are already aware of them." Since Chen Feng was already aware of this, he would not need to exin as much. "Those beyond A ss are in fact extremely unique existences." Hou Liang continued with a solemn expression, "In the beginning, when humans reached the theorized bottleneck of A ss, they noted that regardless of what they tried, they were incapable of breaking through A ss. At that point, A ss seemed like the limit of humanity. However, those people were not willing to stop there. As such, they tried using other methods to increase their strength. And with that, those beyond A ss were born. As for the S ss in the legends, that was nothing more than a legend. Not a single person actually reached that level."

    Chen Feng widened his eyes. "S ss does not exist?" He had initially believed that after "beyond A ss," there would be S ss, SS ss, SSS ss, and so on.

    Hou Liang shook his head. "Nope. Humans are different than the devil race. The life span of a human is limited. As such, we do not have the luxury of time to research this aspect indefinitely. Even the appearance of ¡¯beyond A ss¡¯ was the result of much research by countless seniors."

    "Oh. Let me note this down." Chen Feng was rather confused. So, the top of humanity was A ss. S ss did not exist. Those big shots that had been stuck at peak A ss had ultimately transcended A ss through their research, bing existences known as "beyond A ss." That was what enabled their dramatic increase in strength,pleting their search for a brand new realm after A ss.

    Chen Feng raised his hand. "I have a question."

    Hou Liang looked at him. "Say it."

    "I have once witnessed the strength of a person beyond A ss. That is a strength much stronger than an A ss. Why not ssify that as S ss, then?" Chen Feng felt doubtful. In essence, beyond A ss was also a new realm. Wasn¡¯t that the same as S ss, then?

    Hou Liang shook his head. "Naturally, that¡¯s not the case. Have you forgotten what the main point of breaking through each ss from F to A is?"

    "Main point..." Instantly, Chen Feng was startled awake. "Gene!"

    "Correct. Gene." Hou Liang sighed. "The fusion with a gene is the roots of a breakthrough."

    Chen Feng came to a realization as he heard this. It was no wonder that the newly discovered realm was not ssified as S ss. That was because from F ss to A ss, each breakthrough enabled a gic warrior to fuse with a brand new gene, enabling said gic warrior to undergo a transformation. Why was the difference between gic warriors of different ssesrger the higher their level was? That was because of the additional genes the higher-level gic warriors had. Even between those with three and four genes, the difference was extremelyrge. Toward the end, when one possessed four or five additional genes, the gap between them was evenrger.

    Gene fusion was in fact an extremely mysterious and abstruse affair. As for the so-called A ss, that was a fusion with six different genes. Since they had yet to discover a method of fusing with the seventh gene, S ss would forever remain a legend.

    Hou Liang¡¯s expression dimmed. "The limits of humanity. The Gic Union and Gene Production Association have never stopped their research in this aspect. s, after countless years, there have still been no new breakthroughs in the research. Our equipment runs hundreds of millions of calctions on a daily basis, yet all our research has yet to bear fruit to anything thus far. S ss still remains a legend."

    So that¡¯s the truth of things. Now Chen Feng finally understood everything. "What is the goal of this new project then?" Chen Feng was suddenly excited. Had they gotten some clues to the breakthrough toward S ss? If so...

    Hou Liang shook his head. "This project is unrted to S ss. The focus of this project is ¡¯beyond A ss¡¯."

    "Mhm?" Chen Feng widened his eyes. Beyond A ss? Wasn¡¯t that apleted research? What more was there to research, then?

    Suddenly, Hou Liang asked, "Do you have any idea what exactly ¡¯beyond A ss¡¯ is?"

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Nope." For him, even beyond A ss was something out of the legends. The only thing he knew was that a person beyond A ss was so much stronger than an A ss. They were inpletely different leagues.

    "The key to going beyond A ss is to be beyond A ss," Hou Liang stated with a solemn expression.

    Chen Feng: "..." Are you bullshitting me?

    "Those not beyond A ss will remain in A ss."

    Chen Feng: "..." Are you bullshitting me again?

    "Therefore..." Slowly, Hou Liang continued, "The goal of this project, apart from beyond A ss, is to try to generalize the concept of ¡¯beyond¡¯ in the beyond A ss. Our goal is to allow every single ss to reach the realm called ¡¯beyond.¡¯ For example, beyond B ss, beyond C ss, or beyond D ss."

    Bang!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted furiously. Was this possible?

 Chapter 493: Beyond X!

    Chapter 493: Beyond X!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Everywhere around the world, the ck rain was slowly stopping. More and more ces became sunny and cloudless. Under the assistance of the Gene Production Association¡¯s branches worldwide, huge air purifiers were produced to filter out all the devil race energies contained in the soil beneath each city after setting the soil on fire. With this, no devil race energy remained within the territories of humanity.

    This was an extremely important achievement. With this, the cities of humanity were once again safe. The devil race had seemingly noticed this as well. As such, the endless ck rain vanished from human territories not long after. With the devil race energy burnt before being filtered out, the hibernating devil race members no longer existed. As such, apart from exhausting the resources of the devil race, the ck rain was now pointless.

    Once again, the sky became sunny and clear. On the contrary, the ck rain in the unknown regions was even heavier than before.

    "The devil race has shifted their focus to the unknown regions."

    "That¡¯s for sure. After all, those ces used to be their territory back then."

    "I suppose the world will not be a peaceful ce anymore..."

    "Yeah."

    "Devil race, ancient race... From the moment the darkness started descending, peace ceased existing."

    In a certain unknown region, amid the heavy rain, a certain terrifying devil race expert had awakened. Its entire body was filled with numerous tentacles, and a ferocious aura was leaking out of its eyes. This was a devil race member that had awakened from the soil the ck rain had fallen on.

    "Haha, finally, I, Kreir Maastricht, am..."

    Bang!

    Suddenly, a terrifying power surged.

    Before this freshly awakened devil race member was able to rearrange its thoughts, a huge palm could be felt pressing upon its body. Next, a terrifying power descended and pushed it back forcefully.

    "No, I refuse! I am the great Krier Maastricht..."

    Rumble¡ª

    That ce recovered its previous tranquility. It was rather awkward for this great devil race expert to be pushed back the moment it was reawakened. Presently, the owner of that huge palm merely pped his hands as his real appearance was revealed.

    A toying smile appeared on his face. "What a naughty fellow."

    Hum¡ª

    Light started swirling on the ground. Only a crystal remained of the devil race member that had been forcefully pushed back. This crystal was also the main target of this person.

    He clenched the crystal in his hand. "Finally, I have obtained it..."

    Hum¡ª

    A faint energy undted out. A familiar power could be felt.

    "The future of humanity will depend on you..." he muttered. Slowly, he vanished amid the darkness. A simr event was ying out at numerous locations within the unknown regions. Evidently, only a small portion of the Gic Union¡¯s manpower was deployed to Star City. Their true experts all had their own missions.

    Of these devil race experts that were being forcefully pushed back the moment they reawakened, each of them was beyond A ss. If any of them were allowed to fully awaken, a huge cmity would ensue. The moment they were allowed to join hands, humanity would be in grave danger. As they were forced to deal with this, the manpower the Gic Union could spare to be sent toward Star City was truly rather limited.

    Amid the darkness, one devil race member after another perished. Before their full awakening, they were already dead. This restoration had been nned back then using the lives of theirmoners as the sacrifice, yet now, during their moment of awakening, they were all forced back, forced to true death.

    Presently, Chen Feng was still researching the difference between B ss and beyond B ss. This was also the first time he had seen one of the crystals the Gic Union experts had been gathering. The entireboratory was filled with a radiance that caused one to feel flustered. In addition, there was also a power that felt so very familiar.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "This is the main research target?" Hou Liang had already given him an introduction to the entire project. The project was codenamed "Beyond X" with X signifying all sses of gic warriors. This also signified that this was a project allowing all gic warriors to reach this stage called "beyond," regardless of their level. This was an extremely important project for humanity.

    As of now, based on what Hou Liang had told him, everyone was still breaking through by brute force. During the preceding periods, everyone¡¯s understanding of this concept called "beyond" had been rather superficial. As such, they had believed that this was a mere formidable power belonging to those that had surpassed A ss, those who had gone beyond A ss. As such, this state had been named beyond.

    Based on the ssifications for A ss, after going up from A1 to A9, one could then concentrate on surpassing A ss, entering the realm of beyond A ss. Such a method of obtaining the power of beyond was rather brutish and idiotic. Now, due to the appearance of the devil race, these crystals had appeared as well.

    That changed everything. The moment this project seeded, the entirety of humanity would transform as a whole. This would be a true transformation. Theoretically, the existence of this stage called beyond could allow one to be as strong as someone a level higher. For example, those beyond B ss would be equivalent to the present A ss. Those beyond C ss would be equivalent to the present B ss.

    Even so, this was a mere superficial benefit. One ought to remember that this would bring about a beneficial cycle toward humanity. For example, the gene tempering process gic warriors underwent by killing mutated beasts. Due to the strength of the mutated beasts, humanity had always been extremely prudent when doing so.

    But now, if this project seeded, a beyond D ss could easily kill a D-ss mutated beast. The act would be as easy as someone drinking water. This would enable that gic warrior to charge straight to C ss within a short period of time. After achieving beyond C ss, the subsequent breakthrough would also be very simple for this warrior. This project would enable the process of strengthening gic warriors to be a process of farming mutated beasts.

    And the moment humanity could aplish this, would reaching A ss be something really hard? Even those beyond A ss would probably appear frequently enough. Granted, new beyond-A-ss warriors that would appear through this method might becking in terms ofbat experience. However, no matter what, a beyond A ss was still a beyond A ss.

    Chen Feng looked at the crystal before him like he was looking at some precious treasure. It was precisely the familiar aura emanating from these crystals that had caused those beyond-A-ss experts to send these back for research.

    "The Gic Union has already started their research. So far, there has been no progress. After all, when ites to research, they are not as good as us. The Gene Production Association has already deployed someone over to assist them yet there has still been no headway. After all, our existing system of research was already toorge and was already rotten with bureaucracy. As such..." Hou Liang shrugged. "We have decided to establish more than 10 mini teams to conduct their research independently. Each team will research in a certain specific direction, threading their own path. The teams that obtain progress will be rewarded based on their results as a form of encouragement. Only with this can everyone¡¯s potential be forced out," Hou Liang exined. Chen Feng understood his point and did not find it surprising.

    Chen Feng recalled how, in his previous life, a certain battle royale game had be excessively popr. Stimted by the sess of that particr game, numerous other game developmentpanies had started developing simr games, and shortly after, a huge number of such games had appeared. Even a certainpany called Tencent, who had managed to obtain the original rights for the game, had released several simr games on top of what they had to encourage internalpetition within thepany. Why was that? Well, only throughpetition could one¡¯s potential be forced out.

    Chen Feng looked at Hou Liang. "What if everyone fails?" Separating all the researchers might not prove beneficial.

    "All the teams are taking different directions in their research. Moreover, each of the teams has different specialties as well. As such, even if all of them fail, bybining the results of all the teams, we will still obtain a huge breakthrough," Hou Liang exined in an extremely well-practiced manner. Evidently, this was not the first time he had done something like this.

    "Which team will I be in, then?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Oh." Hou Liang paused before calmly stating, "You know what? I personally think that you are too amazing. As such, you can handle the task of an entire team all by yourself."

    Instantly, Chen Feng stopped walking.

    "In short...you failed to recruit even a single researcher for my team?"

 Chapter 494: I Can Recruit Anyone I Want?

    Chapter 494: I Can Recruit Anyone I Want?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Sh*t. Chen Feng felt like he¡¯d been scammed. What team project andpetition... Had anyone seen a team project where there was only one person in the entire team? Chen Feng did not believe that he would be able topletely research the power of beyond just by himself. This did not seem like something Luck Aura would be able to do. At the very least, he needed to know clearly what exactly beyond A ss was before he could proceed with his research, right? Right now, he did not even have a single team member. Chen Feng rubbed his head.

    "Oh. The avable participants have all been grabbed by other teams." Hou Liang felt somewhat awkward. "There are only so many beyond-A-ss warriors in the Gic Union. As for talented researchers, there are also only so many of them. As such, all of them were recruited by the different teams in a short period of time. This project for you is one I have provided special authorization. As such, your project is different from the other teams, and thus you have also startedter than the other teams. But you don¡¯t have to worry; I managed to obtain one unique privilege for you."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone as he heard this. "Oh?"

    Hou Liang patted his chest. "You can recruit your team members yourself!"

    Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s expression darkened. Who was there to recruit? All the beyond-A-ss experts and talented researchers had already been selected by other teams. Where should he go recruiting, then?

    "I¡¯m not doing this!" The annoyed Chen Feng decided to just toss all responsibilities away and start leaving.

    Hou Liang pulled at him. "Please don¡¯t. The future of humanity requires you."

    Chen Feng stared at him coldly.

    "The Gene Production Association requires you."

    Chen Feng still continued staring at him coldly.

    "I require you," Hou Liang stated bashfully.

    Chen Feng gave him a cold look before turning around to leave.

    "You will be given ess to the entire form warehouse," Hou Liang stated with a bitter smile.

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "And?" If Hou Liang had mentioned this from the start, wouldn¡¯t this have been settled by now?

    Hou Liang sighed. "You will also be given full ess to the gene bank."

    He was aware that by granting these two authorities to Chen Feng, it was almost the same thing as granting Chen Feng control over the entire Gene Production Association, granting him control over all their resources.

    "However, there must be some results in your research." Hou Liang¡¯s head ached. He was also under tremendous pressure.

    Chen Feng shrugged. "Don¡¯t worry. As long as it¡¯s true that I can recruit my team members as I wish, I will be able to do it."

    "There¡¯s no problem with that," Hou Liang confirmed. "As long as it¡¯s helpful to the research, you can recruit anyone."

    Chen Feng smiled toyingly. "Anyone?"

    "..."

    Hou Liang felt his hairs stand on end as he looked at Chen Feng¡¯s expression. However, after putting some thought into it, he reasoned that this was still the Gic Union headquarters. As such, Chen Feng shouldn¡¯t be able to mess around too much here.

    "Yes!" Hou Liang confirmed with a wave of his hand.

    "Very good." Chen Feng was very pleased. One dayter, Hou Liang had already left Chen Feng to get busy with other matters. As for Chen Feng, he had already gotten started with the preparations for the research he was about to conduct. His first test subject was also contacted and was already here. However, this test subject had been maintaining an odd expression on his face all the while.

    He stared at Chen Feng helplessly. "Is this proper?"

    Chen Feng curled his lips. "What¡¯s improper about this? Since Old Hou didn¡¯t recruit anyone for me, I shall recruit my team members as I wish."

    "But..." That person pointed at the zing rm and smiled bitterly. "The entirety of the Gic Union¡¯s rm system is zing without stop."

    After all, his present identity was already different. This was especially true due to that ck diamond shining on his forehead. That faint radiance served as an indicator of his present identity, a member of the ancient race. This person was precisely Qin Hai.

    To resist the invasion of the ancient race, the Gic Union had long installed numerous defensive mechanisms. So long as the aura of an ancient race member was detected, the rm would start zing. Therefore, Qin Hai¡¯s appearance here had... mhm... triggered the entirety of the Gic Union.

    "Holy shit, there¡¯s really an ancient race member here?"

    "The detectors can¡¯t be wrong. An ancient race member has indeed appeared in our headquarters."

    "This is too scary."

    "Have the exact coordinates been located?"

    "Nope. This particr ancient race member is too unusual, too mysterious."

    "We have already requested reinforcements. I suppose the true experts will show up soon enough."

    "Continue!"

    "Stop all projects for now. Everyone, be on full alert."

    "All right."

    A chaotic mess of sounds could be heard without stop. The entirety of the Gic Union had been thoroughly provoked. Almost all their A-ss warriors were mobilized, and the only thingcking toplement such huge mobilization was the destruction of their own headquarters.

    "..."

    Qin Hai looked at Chen Feng, who had an innocent expression on his face. Qin Hai had only arrived here after receiving a message from Chen Feng. As such, the fault for this should not lie on him.

    Qin Hai spread his hands. "What about what¡¯s happening out there..."

    "Ignore them. Nobody dares to intrude here anyway," Chen Feng stated calmly.

    Shua!

    After finishing his words, he started taking out numerous gathering devices to gather the energy in Qin Hai¡¯s body. Qin Hai could only spread his hands helplessly and allow Chen Feng to do as he wished.

    "Open your cloth wider. Yes, yes, correct." Chen Feng studied the energy that was appearing in the gathering devices. The color of the gathered energy was ck, a rather unusual color.

    "My energy should be somewhat different than other beyond-A-ss warriors," Qin Hai stated with a bitter smile. He had an idea of what Chen Feng was trying to do. If the goal was beyond A ss, using him as a test subject would be rather unreliable even though he was also a beyond-A-ss warrior.

    Chen Feng shrugged. "I know, but you are the only one I can look for."

    Qin Hai raised his brow as he asked, "What about your girl?" If he recalled correctly, Wang Yao had broken through into beyond A ss not long ago, right? After all, his senior apprentice sister¡¯s residence had been attacked precisely by this youngdy alone. That attack had even resulted in countless casualties. Even his senior apprentice sister had been killed during that attack. If it hadn¡¯t been for his master making a move personally to restore her and fishing her out from the past, she would have been gone forever. As such, Wang Yao¡¯s strength had most definitely reached beyond A ss.

    "I already sent a message to her. s, I have not gotten a reply from her." Chen Feng was somewhat worried about her. After the Star City battle, there had not been any news from Wang Yao. If he hadn¡¯t known about what she had done from Qin Hai, he would have thought that something had happened to Wang Yao. Since the senior apprentice sister had been killed, what of Wang Yao, then? Suddenly, Chen Feng recalled something. "Could it be that your master..."

    "Nope." Qin Hai shook his head. "By the time my master returned, their battle had already ended. I remember that Wang Yao had already left by that time. Hold on, let me check for you."

    Qin Hai contacted his senior apprentice sister while Chen Feng got out of the detection range of Qin Hai¡¯smunication tool.

    Shua!

    A screen popped out. Soon, Qin Hai¡¯s call went through. On his screen, that slimy ancient race senior apprentice sister appeared. She was indeed alive. Chen Feng was rmed. That old man was the Sage from back then? Qin Hai¡¯s master... that fellow was truly capable of resurrection?

    However, as Chen Feng recalled how that old man¡¯s daughter, who was also the wife of Lu Hun and the one who had previously worshipped Chen Feng, had also tried resurrecting Chen Feng, he found the fact that the old man was capable of resurrection eptable. That was the power of time. A power that, apart from that old man, his daughter also possessed.

    "Senior apprentice sister, how are you?" Qin Hai asked sincerely.

    The ancient race female snorted. "Hmph! Even you have heard of it?"

    "Mhm..." Qin Hai expressed his anxiousness and asked, "Are you fine? How did a human manage to get there?"

    "I was tricked," the ancient race female stated coldly. "I was tricked by that damnable human called Chen Feng. That is why a beyond-A-ss human managed to follow my trail to where I was staying. However... hmph. This is something I will repay her sooner orter. That person called Chen Feng and that damnable little girl, I heard that Lu Hun has encountered that Chen Feng guy before as well. I was just about to go ask about him." As she finished her words, the ancient race female stood up.

    Qin Hai took this opportunity to ask, "Little girl? The one who defeated you was a little girl? Where is she now? Let me help you capture her."

    The ancient race female shook her head. "I have no idea. I suppose she left long ago."

    "Oh." Qin Hai put out an expression of extreme disappointment. Next, he nced at Chen Feng. Chen Feng nodded at him. Since Wang Yao had managed to leave, she should be fine. "All right then. Senior apprentice sister..." Qin Hai nodded his head. Just as he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly widened. Unbelieving, he stared at his screen with a dumbfounded expression.

    A mournful scream resounded. "Ah¡ª" This mournful scream of that ancient race female appeared so very tragic.

    ??

    Even Chen Feng by the side was shocked.

    The voice seething with extreme hatred of the ancient race female resounded. "It¡¯s you!"

    Who??

    Chen Feng looked at Qin Hai¡¯s stupefied expression before listening to the voice of that ancient race female. Suddenly, he thought of a single possibility. With a single wide stride, he walked to the front of the screen. On the screen, it could be seen that, presently, the ancient race female couldn¡¯t be bothered to pay attention to the screen. That was because, once again, a huge ming sword could be seen protruding from her chest. The person who had stabbed her was precisely Wang Yao!!!

    "Hi. Long time no see." Wang Yao smiled lightly, and in a low voice, she said, "I have waited a long time for you, yo."

    The ancient race female was rmed. "You..."

    "I find resurrected people particrly annoying. I promised him that I will kill you. Therefore...goodbye," Wang Yao said.

    Pu!

    The body of the ancient race female was pierced through.

    The ancient race female fixed her gaze on Wang Yao. "You won¡¯t be able to kill me for real..."

    As far as the ancient race female was concerned, this little girl wasn¡¯t truly strong. If the ancient race female was in her peak condition, this little girl could be killed very easily. But now, due to the forceful descent of her main body to her clone, she had been damaged badly, resulting in a drop in her strength. This had given the little girl a chance to take advantage of her momentary weakness. And now, even after her resurrection, she had yet to recover her full strength, and just like that, she was killed yet again by this little girl.

    "Wait for me! When I return once again..."

    The ancient race female was filled with hatred. How could she not feel hateful after being killed two times in a row by this little girl that was far weaker than her peak strength?

    Wang Yao smiled lightly. "You won¡¯t be able to return anymore. Although I do not have power over time, I am ultimately a person who went through transmigration before. When the time imprint of a person¡¯s existence is erased..."

    Hum¡ª

    Wang Yao pped her palm on the ancient race female¡¯s forehead. "You will be eternally erased."

    "You..." The ancient race female gazed at this little girl nkly before copsing loudly onto the ground.

    Pa!

    Themunication tool was broken after the fall, causing the scene on the screen to vanish instantly.

    "..."

    "..."

    The two exchanged nces and looked at each other in dismay. Qin Hai had merely intended to call his senior apprentice sister to obtain some information; he had not expected to be presented with such a scene.

    Qin Hai rubbed his head. "Your girl is so ferocious?" Suddenly, he felt like him being undercover among the ancient race was an extremely dangerous act, as he might randomly be killed by this little girlfriend of Chen Feng¡¯s at any time.

    "Oh." Chen Feng was incredibly surprised as well. The only thing he had known was that Wang Yao had gone beyond A ss, nothing more. Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯smunication tool buzzed. He nced at it and saw a simple reply from Wang Yao: Target dead, preparing to return. Please do send me the coordinates.

    After pondering it over, Chen Feng sent the coordinates over to her. As Qin Hai saw this, his mouth twitched. After all, he was extremely fearful of this youngdy.

    "Since you are already done gathering energy, I will leave first," Qin Hai stated with a low voice.

    Chen Feng was surprised. "You don¡¯t want to meet her?"

    Qin hai shook his head. "With my current identity, it¡¯s better to not meet her." The more people that knew about his identity, the more troublesome things would be.

    Chen Feng nodded. "Fine." Turning into a sh, Qin Hai left noiselessly. Only now did the big shots of the Gic Union sense the aura of the ancient race slowly vanishing.

    "Gone?"

    "He left?"

    "I can still feel the remains of the ancient race member¡¯s aura here. Damn it."

    "In short, that fellow took a stroll in here before leaving without anyone even discovering him? Or perhaps hepleted his mission here?"

    "Quick, check if we lost anything."

    Di!

    Di!

    Their scanning devices beeped without stop. All the employees started a crazy round of inspections, with the inspections being especially strict on their core secrets. s, surprising them, nothing was lost. What exactly had that mysterious and powerful ancient race member been trying to do?

    "Have the reinforcement arrived?"

    "The deputy president will arrive soon."

    "All right."

    "Maintain full alert. We can¡¯t allow anyone else to sneak in anymore. Even the area five kilometers around our headquarters must be fully monitored as well. Nobody must be allowed entry, you hear me?"

    "Yes."

    The entire Gic Union became frantically busy. The sudden arrival of that ancient race member had rmed everyone present. Since he coulde so easily, if he was actually nning to destroy this ce...

    Shortly after, the deputy president arrived in a rush.

    "Where¡¯s the enemy?"

    "Left."

    "Take me over to the remnants of his aura."

    "All right."

    Through the remnant aura in the air, the deputy president confirmed that the enemy had already departed. Just as everyone was about to heave a sigh of relief...

    Once again, the rm zed crazily.

    Enemy attack!

    On the screen of their sensor, a huge matrix was being formed. From the screen, it was concluded that this time, it wasn¡¯t the ancient race or the devil race. Rather, it was a human, a person in the legendary beyond-A-ss realm. As for the position that the person had appeared at...

    Chen Feng! Instantly, all their expressions changed greatly. During the Star City battle, the contributions of Chen Feng alone had surpassed everyone else. Furthermore, as an excellent producer of the Gene Production Association, he was also one whose knowledge of gene productions far surpassed others. As such, he would be extremely helpful in their future research. Had those damnable enemies noticed the existence of such a person?

    Damn it! Wasn¡¯t the defense here too weak, then? When had their headquarters be like a public transportation vehicle, one where anyone could enter whenever they desired? The deputy president raged. "Go!"

    They rushed over hurriedly. They could not allow anything to happen to Chen Feng, not here.

    Bang!

    Instantly, the door of Chen Feng¡¯sboratory was kicked open. The reinforced door capable of resisting an A-ss attack was deformed by the deputy president. After kicking the door, they saw that a red streak was rushing toward Chen Feng at a high speed.

    "Careful!"

    Everyone¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    Bang!

    A weapon coalesced in the deputy president¡¯s hand. Instantly, a powerful killing move was formed as it mmed through the void to sh at that red streak.

    Ka! Ka!

    Space cracked and the beyond-A-ss power of the deputy president bloomed. Back then, during the Star City battle, he had been unable to go personally and had only been able to send his clone over. Due to that, the entire war had almost ended in a disaster. This time, he would not allow such a mistake. As he thought of this, he pushed his power to the maximum. Activating his trump card, his speed surged.

    Before the red streak could even reach Chen Feng, the deputy president arrived before him. Under his super fast movement speed, everything around him seemed so slow. Next, he saw an extremely awkward scene.

    Mhm... that red streak seemed to be a youngdy? Eh? On her face was a smile, both her hands were outstretched as she was pouncing into Chen Feng¡¯s embrace. Due to her fast movement speed, it had been misconstrued as an attack.

    Mhm...

    As he looked at her face, suddenly the deputy president recalled the identity of this youngdy. As he looked at her bbergasted expression, the deputy president felt iparably awkward.

    Shua!

    He forced himself to stop.

    Bang!

    A huge force seemed to be rampaging within his body due to his abrupt stop. After the forceful stop of his power that had forcefully erupted earlier, he suffered a certain degree of bacsh. Next, he stared nkly as the youngdynded within Chen Feng¡¯s embrace. Mhm... both of them were hugging each other now.

    "You are back." Chen Feng immersed himself in the warmth that he hadn¡¯t felt for a while in his embrace. Next, he looked at those fellows that had appeared abruptly out of nowhere. "What are you guys doing here?"

    Everyone else: "..."

    Deputy president: "..."

    They exchanged nces, not knowing what to say. In short, they had hurried over just to witness this scene?

    "We sensed the aura of a superexpert..."

    "There must have been a mistake," someone stated awkwardly.

    "Ah." Suddenly, Wang Yao came to a realization as she stated in a low voice, "Sorry, I have been careless. I have grown used to moving in such manner and forgot that this is the headquarters of the Gic Union."

    The rest waved their hands without stop. "Don¡¯t worry about it." This was a misunderstanding, after all. However, shortly afterward, they all stopped. Hold on... "Sorry"? In short, this youngdy was the superexpert?

    They all widened their eyes. "You..."

    Bang!

    A ming sword appeared in Wang Yao¡¯s hand. "Do you remember now?" Wang Yao asked with a gentleugh.

    Suddenly, all their hearts jolted furiously. This aura...

    The ming sword that had appeared suddenly during the Star City battle to kill that formidable ancient race female was the sword of this youngdy? Chen Feng¡¯s girlfriend? Everyone was dumbfounded.

    "Let¡¯s go."

    The deputy president led everyone to leave awkwardly. If it was thisdy Wang Yao, there shouldn¡¯t be any problems. With her by Chen Feng¡¯s side, not many people could actually hurt Chen Feng anyway. But then... even now, the flush on the deputy president¡¯s face still remained. This was too embarrassing! Chen Feng was somewhat speechless as he looked at the departing gic warriors. His head lowered to look at the Wang Yao, who was embracing him silently. Instantly, he chuckled.

    Chen Feng poked her head. "Do you think I can¡¯t see that you did this on purpose?"

    "Mhm." Wang Yao rubbed her face against Chen Feng¡¯s chest before shifting her body into a morefortable posture to continue the embrace. She stated in a low voice, "I want everyone to know that you belong to me..."

    "Ah." A warm current surfaced in Chen Feng¡¯s heart. With this, the sense of unfamiliarity due to them not meeting for a long time vanished. Wang Yao was still the same Wang Yao. He rubbed her head and asked with a smile, "Are you interested in doing some tests in regards to the human body?"

    Wang Yao blinked. "Eh?"

 Chapter 496: What Is Beyond?

    Chapter 496: What Is Beyond?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Beyond, a mystical power, a power that had not left much of a profound impression on Chen Feng all this while. After all, as far as he was concerned, this was a mysterious power belonging to those above A ss.

    Characteristic? Definition? Origin? Chen Feng had no idea about any of these. Only after extracting two different versions of such power from Qin Hai and Wang Yao did Chen Feng gain understanding on this so-called "beyond."

    "So... this is what ¡¯beyond¡¯ is."

    Both Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. Beyond was equivalent to the transformation of power. For an A ss, when the A-ss power overflowed, when their body, the acting vessel, was no longer capable of storing any excess A-ss power, by going beyond the ss, they would undergo a qualitative change of sorts. That would enable this A-ss vessel to store even greater amounts of power. That was precisely what beyond A ss entailed. It was the process of transforming one¡¯s body for the second time in the same ss.

    "Compression?"

    This was the first thought that surfaced in Chen Feng¡¯s mind. Under normal circumstances,pressed power would be even more powerful, and the storage capacity would increase as well. However,pressed power would normally be extremely unstable as well. Normally, one¡¯s power would only bepressed for a moment of eruption, for a burst of power. But now, for this concept called beyond, it was a concept that would alter the origin of the power itself.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone brightly. "For this, the structural makeup of the power itself is changed as well. This is notpression; rather, this is an altering of the structural makeup."

    The energy of a person was essentially simr in nature despite the person¡¯s advancement from F ss to A ss. As an example, if the limit of a human¡¯s body was a huge room, the F ss of this room would be equivalent to a thinyer of gaseous substance that hovered on the floor of this room. Moreover, the amount of the gaseous substance would be rather low as well. As for E ss, it would be equivalent to an increase in the stored gaseous substance.

    Due to the increase in quantity, the assembled gaseous substance would have a higher concentration. As such, apart from quantity, the quality itself would be improved as well. As for the subsequent sses, the same concept applied. Slowly, the gaseous substance in the room would increase in quantity. The initial thin gaseous substance would be more and more concentrated as its quantity grew. This would continue until A ss.

    The highest capacity this room could contain was the maximum amount of A ss. The quantity and concentration of the gaseous substance, which represented the energy of a gic warrior, would also have reached its peak. At this point, this room would no longer be capable of storing anything more. This was the so-called peak A ss. This was also the current peak of humanity.

    Next, with numerous secret arts and unique abilities, the energy might undergopression, modification, or release through some unique methods. If so, what about beyond A ss, then? When a person entered a new realm, the realm beyond A ss, the structural makeup of all the contained energy would bepletely transformed. Sticking with the same example, the gaseous substance would now transform into liquid.

    This was a brand new energy structural makeup. Instantly, the room filled with gaseous substance would be emptied. The only thing left would be the thinyer of liquid energy at the bottom of the room. Despite the thinyer and seemingly low amount, the liquid energy was in fact extremely powerful. Such a transformation in the structural makeup of the energy was not something those secret arts or unique methods of energy maniption couldpare with.

    The same ability released through the new energy makeup would be much more powerful than its original form, so strong that one couldn¡¯t even begin topare the two. Therefore, beyond A ss was akin to someone of an entirely different realm. This was also the main subject of their "Beyond X" project, a project trying to figure out a method to allow even normal gic warriors to understand the concept of beyond.

    This seemed rather impossible for those in F ss, though. ording to the conversion rate of energy to the new structural makeup, the amount of energy an F ss had could only be transformed into a single drop of the new energy. This amount was too little to be of much use.

    But then, at the very least, there was the possibility that this was doable. One could imagine how powerful even the lowest of the secret arts would be if they were unleashed using this new energy. The power of beyond, for those beyond A ss, beyond B ss, or beyond C ss, apart from the quantity of their energy, would there be a difference in the might of their new energy? If the answer was no, did that not signify that the moment one grasped the concept of beyond, one would directly be a superexpert? All of these required further research.

    "Beyond..."

    Chen Feng was overwhelmed by emotions. The appearance of a new energy makeup was indeed something sufficient to cause excitement. During this lowest moment of humanity, during the appearance of the powerful devil race and ancient race, during this moment where humanity was in a panic, research on this concept of beyond was indeed humanity¡¯s best hope.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng said, "Spirit, analyze this for me."

    "Luck value will be required," Spirit stated honestly.

    Luck value...

    Chen Feng checked his luck value.

    During the Star City battle, all his luck value had been exhausted. Even now, only 30 points had recovered. With such an amount, it was as good as useless.

    Chen Feng sighed. "Forget it. I will continue researching myself." After all, he couldn¡¯t rely on luck value all the time. The recovery speed was truly too slow, and each point was way too important. He should only use it during a moment of crisis, such as the Star City battle.

    "Spirit, it will be sufficient to use the luck value only to control the direction of my research," Chen Feng stated.

    Spirit nodded. "All right." This was the cheapest method of utilizing luck value at this time. This was also a method Chen Feng had devised in order to save luck value while at the same time ensuring that he didn¡¯t act incorrectly. In fact, the idea behind this was rather simple. What was the most feared thing during research? It was the research proceeding in apletely wrong direction.

    For a lot of research, if the chosen direction was wrong from the start, even toward the end, the research would produce no results. All the resources spent would have been for naught. Chen Feng had seen way too many such situations in the news. Every single path chosen during a research, every line of thought pursued, every single possibility, all these would give birth to numerous paths for one to choose. Only by pursuing each path relentlessly and failing relentlessly, followed by relentless sesses, could one reach the ultimate result of the research.

    As for Chen Feng, from the start, he would only select the correct direction, the correct path. With Luck Aura pointing at the correct path, he only needed to concern himself with traveling down that path.

    Hum¡ª

    The pointer of his Luck Aura leaped, pointing him in a certain direction.

    "Direction ascertained. Time to start the research." Chen Feng was excited. s, the research hadn¡¯t gone as smoothly as he had expected. From the very start, he had already encountered a rather thorny problem. The essence of his gathered beyond energy was still the same as regr energy. The only change was the structural makeup of the energy particles. This feeling was akin to... the difference between carbon and diamond? As Chen Feng understood this, his expression darkened. In short, the difficulty level of this experiment was simr to the process of transforming carbon into diamond?

    Although this research had long ago beenpleted thanks to the technology of the gic era, if a simr transformation needed to be applied to energy, the difficulty would rise dramatically. After all, a bit of carelessness when handling energy could very well result in a catastrophic explosion.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Come, then. Let me have a clear look at the actual structural makeup of this new energy."

    Hum¡ª

    The energy observer device was activated. On the screen, the energy was greatly erged to the point the particles could be seen in detail. s, a single nce at the particles caused Chen Feng to be dumbstruck. This energy...

 Chapter 497: Trade?

    Chapter 497: Trade?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Shit!

    This was the only thought in Chen Feng¡¯s mind presently. He had been aware that the structural makeup of the energy would most certainly be different than before. He was also aware that the new energy had to have a structural makeup that was steadier and moreplicated than before. But he had truly never expected that...

    Shua!

    He looked at the energy. Under the device, it could be seen that some energy particles were assembled together. asionally, they would assume an S shape. At times, they would assume a B shape. These particles would move unendingly. Astonishingly, the new energy actually consisted of mobile energy particles. This waspletely different from the particles of regr energy, which were immobile. These new energy particles were actually alive.

    Are you kidding me?

    Chen Feng was dumbstruck. How was he supposed to study this?

    Chen Feng tried consulting Spirit. "Spirit?"

    "Oh." Spirit widened her eyes, evidently surprised by this as well. Both of them looked at each other; they were at their wits¡¯ end. The makeup of this new energy had evidently far surpassed their initial estimation. This was a makeup that they couldn¡¯t even begin to start analyzing. Even if Chen Feng was capable of dissembling the energy to assemble the particles into a certain makeup, he still wouldn¡¯t be able to create this new energy. That was because there was no fixed makeup for the new energy, as the particles were seemingly alive.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng thought of something. "Perhaps these energy particles all share amon characteristic?"

    Shua!

    He started studying again. And next, after several minutes of observation, even his eyes started hurting. Several thousandpletely different structural makeup were seen. Some were t, some were three dimensional, some were mystical... and the only shared characteristic was that these particles were mobile. It seemed like, in the structural makeup of this new energy, all the particles were mobile. What to do, then? Chen Feng sank into contemtion.

    "Perhaps..."

    "Our primary analogy is totally wrong. Although the analogy of gaseous substance and liquid form is rather simr to the case of the new and old energy, the essence of the new and old energy ispletely different. Perhaps, ¡¯beyond¡¯ merely signifies the transformation of the energy particles into something mobile."

    Suddenly, this idea surfaced in Chen Feng¡¯s mind. Naturally, he had only been studying Wang Yao¡¯s energy so far.

    "Let¡¯s take a look at Qin Hai¡¯s energy."

    With excitement, he checked Qin Hai¡¯s energy. Shortly after, he sank intoplete silence. If Wang Yao¡¯s energy was equivalent to a lively ocean, Qin Hai¡¯s energy was equivalent to a dead ocean. All the particles appeared dead. Let alone being mobile and lively, not a speck of vitality could be sensed from his energy particles.

    In short, the earlier hypothesis where energy particles needed to be made mobile was also incorrect? Chen Feng frowned. A regr person¡¯s energy particles were calm. As for Wang Yao, her energy particles were lively. As for Qin Hai, his energy particles were dead. But then, both of them were simrly beyond A ss.

    If so, what did "beyond" entail, exactly? Chen Feng was unable to make sense of it. He required more beyond-A-ss warriors for his research. Beyond A...

    Chen Feng sighed. This was too rare a resource. With the several tens of teams researching the concept of beyond at the same time, nearly all of the beyond-A-ss experts avable were already recruited to help. As such, the amount of beyond-A-ss warriors avable were definitely not sufficient.

    Therefore, their current situation was akin to the situation where the wolves were many but the meat was little. Chen Feng nced at the numerous research projects that had beenunched. Beyond A ss¡¯s blood, body, semen, everything about them was being studied.

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. "How is this research on the power of beyond? This is clearly a human experiment. The only thingcking is the test subjects being chopped into parts for testing." He was sure that the only reason these experts had been cooperating was because this was a projectunched by Gic Union. Otherwise, they would have started raging long ago. They had no choice but to do this, for humanity... Mhm, that had to be how they were rationalizing this.

    As such, these beyond-A-ss experts could only hold their anger in and work with the researchers. However, Chen Feng was also aware that to guarantee the integrity and uracy of the research, regardless of whether it was blood or other types of liquid, all had to go through tests. That was because, essentially, the body of said expert was a body that had formed the power beyond A ss. As such, the body of the test subject would most certainly be the most important thing.

    For Chen Feng, thanks to Luck Aura, he had avoided wrong directions from the start of his research. With only several points of luck value, he had already ascertained the general direction the research should be heading: energy!

    Should he inform them, then? Chen Feng gave it some thought, but he shook his head in the end. Since he had no proof and could only tell them this was his guess, they would probably believe that Chen Feng was merely messing around with them. Perhaps they would even think that Chen Feng was trying to misdirect them.

    He was better off thinking about how to get more beyond-A-ss experts to help him. One or two teams sharing a single beyond-A-ss warrior was essentially something logical to do. However, if he wanted to analyze the energy of beyond-A-ss warriors properly, that wouldn¡¯t do. A single beyond-A-ss warrior would only have a single type of energy. With that, how was he supposed to progress in his research?

    As such, in the spirit of friendly cooperation, Chen Feng started requesting help from other research teams, requesting to borrow some beyond-A-ss warriors for his energy research. As he had heard that a certain team had two beyond-A-ss warriors for their research, Chen Feng went to them for help.

    They rejected him without any hesitation. "No. Impossible. We don¡¯t even have sufficient research time for ourselves. How is it possible that we lend them to you?" They were firm in their rejection. "We will only agree if you trade your beyond-A-ss warrior with us." The other person chuckled.

    Trade?

    Chen Feng looked at their research subject and noted that the majority of their tests would involve the private parts of a gic warrior. Instantly, his leg kicked out. "Screw you!"

    Bang!

    The researcher was flung away by Chen Feng¡¯s kick.

    Although Chen Feng¡¯s strength was nothing special, he was certain that among all researchers, he was the strongest fighter! And among all proper gic warriors, he was also the best researcher! And now, these folks were thinking of taking advantage of Wang Yao?

    Hehe.

    Chen Feng turned around to leave.

    "Comin! I amunching aint against him!" The researcher was furious. This was too excessive! Pressing his hand on his belly, he scrambled up with difficulty. He was truly exasperated at Chen Feng¡¯s action. Why did there exist such a person that resorted to physical actions immediately after a disagreement? Was this fellow still a researcher? How was he different from a thug?

    s, if even fights between researchers was something the Gic Union needed to moderate, they would be truly too busy. As such, so long as nobody was killed, it was likely that nobody would be bothered with him.

    "Calm down, Old Xu. Calm down. That¡¯s Chen Feng."

    "So what if he¡¯s Chen Feng? What, he thinks he¡¯s amazing just because he participated in the Star City battle? Which of us here is without any contributions? The amount of contributions I made in the form of research is no lower than his. What gives him the right to kick me?"

    "Oh... calm down. This isn¡¯t anything serious anyway."

    "What do you mean this isn¡¯t serious! Don¡¯t look at my appearance that looks fine. You have no idea how hard he kicked earlier. My belly is in great pain now."

    "His identity is not so simple."

    "Which of us selected to be here has a simple identity? Which of us has no backers?"

    His entire body was still aching. From Chen Feng¡¯s kick, a bizarre energy had been transmitted into his body, causing a great vibration within his body that made him feel incredibly awful. Furthermore, his teeth suddenly felt like they were loosening up and were about to fall.

    He raged. "Chen Feng... I shall remember this." Unfortunately for him, nobody cared about him. Presently, Chen Feng was still busy thinking of a solution for his dilemma.

    He pondered. "Seems like asking the teams directly won¡¯t work." If this was a normal research, it would be rather normal for different teams to exchange their test subjects to prove their theories. But then, this wouldn¡¯t do for him. First, the test subject was his little wife. Second, the other teams were not extracting only energy for research like him.

    Chen Feng contemted. "Well, looks like I have to think of something else, then." Perhaps...Old Man Hou could be of some help? Chen Feng thought.

 Chapter 498: This Is Simple

    Chapter 498: This Is Simple

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    If he couldn¡¯t find a solution, he would go running to his backer. Chen Feng was very straightforward. That Hou Liang fellow had basked in the light quite frequently recently thanks to Chen Feng¡¯s numerous contributions. As such, Hou Liang had long been elevated to a position of power in the Gene Production Association. Furthermore, he had rather high authority in this research project as well. Therefore, Chen Feng had decided to look for him directly. s, as it concerned beyond-A-ss warriors, Chen Feng was directly rejected.

    "I don¡¯t have the rights to decide on that." Hou Liang was very helpless as well. The reason he had no rights over that was very simple. Almost all beyond-A-ss warriors were under the Gic Union. Moreover, this was not Star City. Therefore, he had no authority over them.

    "One more thing." Hou Liang paused. "Recently, someoneined that you have been spoiling their tests."

    Chen Feng curled his lip. "Oh? That person that screamed mournfully after being nearly kicked to death by me earlier today? That person who¡¯s even uglier than Kong Bai?"

    "..." Hou Liang rolled his eyes. How was that person this ugly?

    Chen Feng wasn¡¯t the least bothered about that person. "I¡¯m spoiling the tests just because he said so?"

    Hou Liang spread his hands. "The most important thing is that his elder brother is an expert of the Gic Union. As such, things might be somewhat troublesome."

    Chen Feng sneered. "Hmph. Who¡¯s without a backer? If you can¡¯t deal with this, I will leave right this moment. I have no interest in participating in this stupid research anyway."

    Hou Liang pulled at him hastily and smiled bitterly. "No, haven¡¯t I dealt with that for you already? Don¡¯t worry. So long as you don¡¯t kill anyone, nobody here can touch you," Hou Liang stated imposingly.

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "That¡¯s more like it."

    "If you require more beyond-A-ss warriors... perhaps you might consider trading," Hou Liang stated after contemting the matter.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s killing-intent-filled gaze drifted toward Hou Liang.

    Hou Liang shook his head. "No, not the kind of trade you¡¯re thinking of. Rather, it is the trade of research results. After all, all these teams were essentially established to hasten the research. Therefore, almost all verified research results can be released to be converted into points and can be sold to others interested in the research result."

    After gaining a rough understanding of this whole system, Chen Feng noted that it was rather simr to the research paper system at Star City back then. As long as a sufficient amount of research results could be released, so long as one could gather sufficient points, one would be able to check nearly all other research results to increase the speed of one¡¯s own research.

    Chen Feng contemted. "Releasing the results, eh?"

    "You are not allowed to cause any trouble!" Hou Liang reminded Chen Feng hastily. The memories of what had happened back then, when this simr expression hadst appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face, were still vivid in Hou Liang¡¯s brain. That was precisely when Chen Feng had created that loot-box system.

    Chen Feng coughed before saying, "How is that possible?" As he looked at Hou Liang¡¯s solemn expression, he could only push back his thoughts. Releasing results... After arranging his energy research results, he transmitted them to themon channel. s, nobody believed him.

    "Energy? Hahahaha."

    "It¡¯s a given that the energy of an A ss and a beyond A ss are different. Do we need you to tell us this?"

    "The existence of this state called beyond is definitely due to the mutation of one¡¯s energy. This is the only probable exnation for it. What in the world is this mobile thing he¡¯s talking about?"

    Everyone berated endlessly. The preliminary result of Chen Feng¡¯s research was berated without stop the moment it was released. Evidently, without the assistance of Luck Aura, nobody but Chen Feng would choose to research in this direction.

    And when Chen Feng used the little number of points he had to check the research results of others, most of them were focused on the body. Surprisingly, they¡¯d actually made some headway in those directions of research. Bloodlines and gene, these were the present two directions that most people were focused on.

    Some believed that the origin of the new energy originated from bloodline mutations, allowing a person to possess the power of beyond from then on. Some believed that the new energy originated from gic mutations, allowing a person to possess the power of beyond. Under these premises, the researchers had been progressing without stop until now, where they had reached a point where they had already gained a certain degree of progress in their research.

    Moreover, through bloodline improvement, a certain A ss had indeed sessfully entered beyond A ss. This caused everyone to be unendingly ecstatic. As Chen Feng studied all this, he frowned. From the start, all the others had chosen thepletely wrong direction in their research. Even an idiot¡¯s body could be improved by gic mutation or bloodline improvement. But then, would that truly increase that person¡¯s strength? Would a person who pursued such a path truly be as powerful as a proper beyond A ss?

    How idiotic. A person at the peak of A ss was already a person nearing the gateway of beyond A ss. Even without outside assistance, that person might still be able to go beyond A ss in any case. How in the world would this rte to the strengthening of one¡¯s genes or bloodline? Since that particr gic warrior had already been nearing beyond A ss, those tests they conducted on him might be the veryst straw that pushed that person toward beyond A ss.

    And next, what was the conclusion of their research, then? Thest straw could indeed break the camel¡¯s back? Chen Feng shook his head.

    A cold voice resounded beside him. "Zhy zare zou shaging zur head?"

    Chen Feng took a look at the origin of the sound and immediately felt likeughing. This fellow beside him who was talking in such an unclear manner was precisely the person who had been flung away by his kick previously. Mhm, what was his name again?

    "Your name is Xu..." Chen Feng thought about it, but he couldn¡¯t recall this person¡¯s name.

    That person raged. "Xu Huihuang!"

    Now Chen Feng remembered. "Oh, Xu Huihuang."

    "Not Xu Huihang, it¡¯s Xu Huihuang!" that person stated angrily.

    Chen Feng felt doubtful. "Xu Huihuang? I¡¯m not wrong, then?"

    That person widened his eyes. "Zot Xu Huihuang, zish Xu Huihuang!"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    The hell, what was the difference? Right at this moment, someone passed by and coughed before saying, "His name is Xu Feifang."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    What stupid name was this?

    "Little Ze, I tell zou, zhis ish my zesult."

    Xu Feifang started pointing at the beyond A ss research result proudly. This was the only sessful case of someone entering beyond A ss since the start of this entire project. This was also why his group had been allocated two beyond-A-ss experts to help in their research.

    Chen Feng appeared rather indifferent. "Oh." That person who had broken through was someone that had already been at the bottleneck anyway. How did this rte to this researcher, then?"

    "Can I have a look?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Zo," Xu Feifang stated proudly with his unclear speech. "Zou zmashed my teeth. I am zot zilling to forgive zou. Now zou are zhinting of taging away my A ss, zow fanny."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    What in the world was this fellow trying to say?

    "Forget it." Chen Feng gazed at him pitifully before turning around to leave. As he was leaving, that person was still muttering without stop. s, Chen Feng couldn¡¯t understand a single word that person was trying to say. Since he had still failed to get more information, he had to look for some beyond-A-ss warriors directly. This would be the best choice.

    Unfortunately, after Chen Feng tried approaching some beyond-A-ss warriors, he noted most of them looked down on this research. If they weren¡¯t being forced by the Gic Union, coupled with the appearance of the ancient race and devil race, they would have left this project hanging long ago. As such, it was impossible for them to agree to Chen Feng¡¯s request for additional tests beyond what was assigned to them.

    "No results?" Wang Yao asked the returning disappointed Chen Feng.

    "Mhm." Chen Feng felt helpless. "Everyone ignored me."

    "You only need to gather energy?" Wang Yao asked.

    Chen Feng nodded. "Mhm."

    "That¡¯s easy. Bring your gathering device ande with me," Wang Yao stated abruptly.

    Huh?

    Chen Feng nked. Wang Yao had a solution for this? But then, since he couldn¡¯t think of anything, he did as Wang Yao asked. He was guessing that perhaps things would be easier if a beyond A ss was the one talking to the other beyond-A-ss warriors on his behalf.

    And so, he followed behind and watched on as Wang Yao met another beyond-A-ss warrior. This warrior that previously couldn¡¯t have been bothered with Chen Feng seemed very willing to talk to Wang Yao. Indeed, Chen Feng rationalized that those of the same level could trulymunicate with each other better. But then, just because they were of the same level, would that be sufficient to get that person to agree to additional tests? While Chen Feng was pondering, he saw Wang Yao take out her huge ming sword and stab straight at that person.

    Bang!

    Fire erupted.

    Bang! Bang!

    The energy of beyond A ss erupted and sshed everywhere.

    Huh?

    Chen Feng was instantly dumbfounded. What in the world? Why had they started fighting?

    "Gather it." Wang Yao red at Chen Feng. "Look, isn¡¯t beyond-A-ss energy everywhere now?"

    !!!

    Chen Feng remained in a daze for quite a while before he reacted to this so-called solution of Wang Yao¡¯s. This works? Chen Feng did not know whether tough or cry. This girl was truly... too understanding! He had the urge to give her a kiss then and there.

    "Don¡¯t be too excessive," Chen Feng reminded her before he started gathering the dispersed energy crazily. Soon, the gathering of the energy of this beyond-A-ss warrior had beenpleted.

    Wang Yao nced at him. "Do you need more?"

    "Yes!" Chen Feng answered with his teeth clenched. Damn it, since he was finally getting the chance to gather energy, he might as well gather more. He was sure that something like this¡ªregardless of how big or how small of an issue it would end up as¡ªwould be forbidden in the future. Since that was the case, they might as well gather as much as they could.

    Thereupon, with excitement, Wang Yao challenged the entire Gic Union.

    Bang! Bang!

    The entire Gic Union shook from the battles. Almost all the researchers were startled from their research. There truly was no helping this, as the scene created by a battle between beyond A sses was truly too huge. Even when both parties had already made supreme effort to restrain themselves, the uncontroble undtions of the battle were still sufficient to shock everyone else to the core, as they all thought that this was another devil invasion. As they panicked, they went out to check out the devil invaders only to see the sight of an astonishingly beautiful youngdy.

    "Eh?"

    "It¡¯s her?"

    "Isn¡¯t this that youngdy called Wang Yao?"

    The awkward memory of when this youngdy had first arrived and triggered all their rm was still fresh in all their minds.

    None of them had expected that this youngdy Wang Yao would run around with her huge ming sword and start challenging the beyond-A-ss participants of each of the teams involved in this project. Indeed, when she approached, she would call it a challenge. s, before the opponent could even respond to the challenge, her sword was already swinging. Almost all the beyond-A-ss warriors ended up challenged once by Wang Yao. Even that incredibly amazing big shot of a deputy president could not escape this fate and ended up having a huge ming sword stabbed at his face.

    "This is too excessive!"

    "They are tantly spoiling our research!"

    "Ah ah ah ah ah!"

    "Zamnable Zen Feng, zourting zeath!"

    Among the sea ofints, this familiar voice of someone who seemed to have lost some teeth could be heard as well.

    Ultimately, the ruckus becamerger andrger until the person in charge of both the Gic Union and Gene Production Association was forced to personally make an appearance to end this. Naturally, Chen Feng couldn¡¯t avoid getting a scolding.

    "Is this what you meant by not creating any trouble?" Hou Liang asked with an unsightly expression.

    "That is a friendly exchange of martial arts," Chen Feng stated earnestly.

    Hou Liang rolled his eyes endlessly. "It is tantly obvious that your little wife is the one mming her huge sword at people¡¯s face. Doing this to others could have been overlooked, but even the deputy president suffered the same fate!" This little couple was truly a perfect match.

    Chen Fengughed dryly. "Hehe. ident. Purely an ident."

    "Hmph." Hou Liang grumbled. "Never again. I¡¯m serious. This trouble has triggered a bunch ofints. If this happens again, I truly can¡¯t protect you anymore."

    Chen Feng smiled. "Understood. One time is already sufficient."

    Since he was already done gathering energy, what was there to be afraid of? After bidding Hou Liang goodbye, Chen Feng started his research once again.

    With Hou Liang as his backer, the way in which Chen Feng did things was much braver than before. Naturally, if Hou Liang found out this thought of Chen Feng¡¯s, he would most probably end up angered to death. In short, his purpose of existence was purely to clean up after Chen Feng? Mhm... At least Chen Feng had managed to gather data on the energy of over 10 beyond-A-ss warriors.

    The excited Chen Feng started his research,paring the data of all the beyond A sses. From them, energy particles simr to Wang Yao could be seen. All of the particles were lively. Almost all of them! Qin Hai was the only exception.

    Chen Feng gained understanding. "Is it because Qin Hai is now an ancient race?" Qin Hai was a rather unique existence. That mysterious diamond on his forehead was perhaps the thing causing his energy to be rather different than others. Among the energy of others, Chen Feng found a single simrity. Lively! All of them were lively!

    Since they all shared the same characteristic, this was perhaps the key to this state called beyond! All those analogies such as gaseous substance and liquid form were mere nonsense. The true meaning of this beyond was the act of transforming one¡¯s energy particles into lively energy particles. As Chen Feng looked at those energy particles that were moving freely around, his heart was tempted.

    "Let¡¯s give it a try."

    He put his thoughts into action immediately.

    Chen Feng urged his energy and tried to get one of the particles to move from its initial position, to transform it into a lively particle.

    Chen Fengmented. "Is this simr to forcing an honest girl into prostitution?" s, things did not work as simply as he had expected. The particle forced out by Chen Feng automatically tried to return to its prior position. Shortly after, this honest girl that had been forced into prostitution by Chen Feng had returned to the proper ways.

    Mhm... this won¡¯t do. Chen Feng sunk into contemtion. Initially, all the energy particles were arranged neatly, each in their very own positions. One could say that the attractive and repelling force of these particles was what formed the actual structural makeup of one¡¯s energy.

    Regardless of which particle it was that was moved, the other particles would be affected as well. If so, what if only the topmost particle was moved? Chen Feng pondered. Using a particle separating device, he separated the topmost two particles. At that very instant, a gold sh seemingly appeared.

    "That is..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. If only a single particle was moved, nothing would appear, but if two particles were moved to assume a certain form, a glimmer of radiance would appear. Granted, this onlysted a split second before the particles returned to their previous appearance. That split second was shorter than even 0.00001 seconds. Fortunately, the recording device was able to record every single instant of that test urately. During that split second, for the very first time, this calm energy had seemingly transcended a certainw.

    That was precisely the power of beyond!

    Chen Feng was overjoyed. "Indeed." His theory was verified! The key to beyond was indeed the lively energy particles. If so, the previous analogy of gaseous and liquid form was proven to be incorrect. If the key to beyond was to make one¡¯s energy particles lively, there would still be a huge gap between beyond A and beyond B.

    Thanks to the gap between A and B ss, this beyond state would merely cause the energy particles to be lively rather than change the quantity or quality of the energy particles. A would remain A, B would remain B. Simrly, beyond A would still be much powerful than beyond B. Indeed, hoping that all gic warriors would jump straight from whatever ss they were at straight to beyond A ss was truly something hopeless.

    But then, this hypothesis of Chen Feng¡¯s had instead proved that there was indeed the possibility for all sses to go beyond their ss. This would work if a method capable of making energy particles lively could be found. Chen Feng was overwhelmed by emotions at this discovery.

    If so, then how should he make these energy particles lively? After all, making one or two particles lively was an entirely different matter than making all energy particles lively. Moreover, what he had aplished earlier was only making the particles lively for only a split second.

    The duration was too short. What Chen Feng needed was to truly transform the energy particles into lively energy particles. If he wished to do so, he required a better test subject. Since he had already confirmed that all sses could enter this beyond state, he would not require A-ss warriors for his subsequent test. But then, it would still be better to get someone stronger, as such a person would be able to better understand the concept of beyond. As such, B-ss warriors would be most suited for this.

    Due to the energy of each person being different, Chen Feng would still require a huge amount of B-ss warriors as his test subjects. Even better would be to get B-ss warriors with different energy characteristics. Mhm... such test subjects...

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s mouth as he thought of a certain someone suited for this role.

    Turning energy particles lively was in fact an extremely difficult thing to do. Theoretically, as long as he had sufficient luck value, Chen Feng might be able toplete this research easily. However, theory was, after all, just theory. It was different from reality. In his previous life, Chen Feng had believed that as long as he had sufficient money, his bad luck wouldn¡¯t be that bad. With sufficient money, wouldn¡¯t he still be able to do as he wished? s, the reality of things was him being dirt poor even when he died. As such, in his present state, where luck value was a limited resource, he had to put in more effort as best as he could.

    ----

    Name: Xu Fei

    ss: B

    Specialty: High endurance.

    ----

    Before the test subject Chen Feng had invited arrived, he managed to get Xu Fei to join in the fun for a bit. In any case, due to the previous Star City battle, this fellow had been hanging around nearby at all times. Xu Fei¡¯s energy had only a single characteristic, yet with him, Chen Feng was still able to conduct numerous tests on a single type of energy. Presently, Chen Feng was trying to figure out how to make Xu Fei¡¯s energy lively.

    Chen Feng passed Xu Fei a pill. "Eat this."

    Xu Fei was bbergasted. "What is this?"

    "A stimnt," Chen Feng answered honestly.

    Xu Fei swallowed the pill without hesitation. "Fine." Shortly after, he became excited from the stimtion. As for Chen Feng, he was silently observing Xu Fei¡¯s state through the devices around him. The stimnt had indeed stimted Xu Fei¡¯s physical body, turning his body lively, yet his energy still remained unmoving. This was a failure.

    Silently, Chen Feng recorded the data of this first test. No. 1, using RB stimnt to provoke the energy to be lively: failure. Test results as follows...

    Chen Feng continued with the second test. "Take this." This time, a shiny blue pill that had been reinforced was given to Xu Fei. After taking it, Xu Fei¡¯s body indeed changed. Unfortunately, it still failed to change the state of his energy.

    Chen Feng wasn¡¯t discouraged in the slightest. "Again." Numerous stimnts, hormone injections, and even estrogen injections were given to Xu Fei. Everything Chen Feng could think of, he used.

    It was fortunate that Xu Fei had a unique physique with a high endurance and that he was able to resist such tests from Chen Feng. If it were someone else, that person would have begun suffering some negative effects long ago. s, all the attempts failed. Every gene reagent capable of provoking any sort of reaction from one¡¯s physical body only worked on one¡¯s body rather than one¡¯s energy.

    Chen Feng sighed. "Indeed, it doesn¡¯t work." Since all drugs and gene reagents rted to the physical body had failed, his next step was to conduct tests on the energy itself. However, the subsequent tests weren¡¯t something Xu Fei could help with.

    Hum¡ª

    Chen Feng¡¯s wristband buzzed. He nced at it and smiled. He¡¯s finally here! Soon, an employee led a person to Chen Feng. As Chen Feng saw him, he was overjoyed and gave the neer a firm hug. With a smile, he said, "Long time no see, Wang Chun."

    Indeed, the person Chen Feng had called over was Wang Chun.

    "Oh. I heard that there was an important project to join. Therefore, I¡¯m here." Wang Chun was rather excited as well. He had been training hard without stop, and finally, he had now reached B ss. Unexpectedly, he was actually able to join an important project. This was, after all, the headquarters of the Gic Union. This was a project concerning the survival of humanity itself! "So, what can I help with?"

    Wang Chun was filled with expectations.

    Chen Feng put on a grateful expression. "Just summon all thedies and that will do."

    "..." Wang Chun¡¯s expression darkened. In short, this experiment required thedies rather than him?

    Wang Chun was somewhat distressed. "Is there nothing that I can do?"

    "There is. Your job is to summon thedies," Chen Feng stated righteously.

    Wang Chun: "..."

    No matter what, he was still a B-ss warrior. He was not somedy summoner!

    "Quick. My Xiao Ying is missing his wife already," Chen Feng stated yfully.

    "Chen Feng!" Behind Wang Chun, there was a sh of red. Next, a figure appeared, and a gaze filled with killing intentnded on Chen Feng. "If you continue spouting nonsense out of your mouth, I will chop you down right this moment!"

    Chen Feng waved his hand. "It has been a while, my dear adorable Lady Ming Yue."

    Ming Yue: "..."

    This guy¡¯s face seemed even thicker nowadays.

    "Here."

    A red blur shed out of Chen Feng¡¯s hand, and Xiao Ying pounced at Ming Yue directly. Between Xiao Ying and Ming Yue, there was a rather bizarre connection.

    Xiu!

    Xiao Ying started swirling around Ming Yue cheerfully.

    Ming Yue: "..."

    Although technically they were married, in truth, Xiao Ying was more like an adorable child. As such, Ming Yue couldn¡¯t bear to actually do anything to Xiao Ying. If it was Chen Feng pouncing at her instead, she would have given him a kick long ago.

    "Oh, right, where¡¯s Shen Yi and Shen Wei?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Here." The two sisters appeared and greeted Chen Feng with a smile.

    Chen Feng gasped in admiration. "Wow, you sisters have gotten even prettier."

    Shen Yi smiled happily. "Thanks."

    To the side, Wang Chun felt extremely sour. This was the reason he had been avoiding Chen Feng all this while. Why were his summons so friendly with Chen Feng? Wasn¡¯t he the actual master here?

    "Eh, there¡¯s only three?" Chen Feng was somewhat surprised. "You are already B ss, right? Aren¡¯t you supposed to..."

    Shua!

    Light started assembling together.

    Two youngdies in maid outfits appeared. Both of them had the same appearance, the only difference being their hair. One had red hair, while the other had blue hair. Simrly, both were astonishingly beautiful, dream-girl material for nerds worldwide. Presently, the two were gazing lovingly at Ming Yue.

    Indeed, after entering B ss, Wang Chun had obtained two new summons. Mhm... another pair of beautiful sisters. Wang Chun¡¯s life was truly too good! Eh, hold on...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng sensed that something seemed off. Shouldn¡¯t these sisters be gazing lovingly at Wang Chun instead? He turned around and saw that Wang Chun had a bitter expression on his face.

    "These two are..." Chen Feng asked curiously. Carefully, Wang Chun pointed in a certain direction. Chen Feng looked over and noted that it was Ming Yue he was pointing at.

    Ming Yue sneered. "This pce master here is the master of the Demonic Pce. Therefore, it is natural that I have my imperial concubines."

    Im... imperial concubine? Chen Feng was dumbfounded. Only now did he recall that The Crystal Pce was a world where no males existed. But then, who said that females couldn¡¯t marry among themselves? This was especially true for a major boss character like Ming Yue. In a world where there were only females, it was extremely normal for females to marry each other. Even the characters in the book thought this way as well.

    If so, what was Wang Chun to them, then? An alien? Animal? Toy? Mhm, this was indeed a question worth contemting. In short... mhm... Chen Feng looked at Wang Chun in sympathy.

    In other words, this fellow¡¯s harem had fallen into the enemy¡¯s hands? All the chicks he had painstakingly cultivated could very well fall into Ming Yue¡¯s hands? Howmentable. This harem-building youth that had once seemed so very amazing had indeed officially transformed into ady summoner.

    Chen Feng patted Wang Chun shoulder with sympathy on his face. "It has been hard on you."

    Wang Chun: "..."

    What could he say? He was very helpless as well. Now that all thedies had been summoned, those Chen Feng required could be considered to have all arrived. Now, Chen Feng could start preparing for his tests. Xu Fei had helpedplete the primary and also the hardest physical tests. The remaining energy tests would have to rely on thesedies with different energy characteristics. Only they couldplete this part of the test.

    After being summoned into this world, regardless of what abilities they used, the energy used was the energy of this world. More importantly, they wouldn¡¯t die for real here in this world. This one point alone was already something nobody couldpare with.

 Chapter 501: Experimenting Furiously

    Chapter 501: Experimenting Furiously

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The tests were rather dangerous. Energy tests required different dosages, different types of gene reagents, or different stimnts as well. As such, the danger level was rather high. Chen Feng did not dare to use ordinary people for his tests. All the dangers were exined in a serious manner by Chen Feng to Wang Chun and the sisters. The procedures and what might happen during the tests were all exined to them. These were extremely important. Hence, he had to make it clear to them.

    Chen Feng answered their doubts honestly. "I am not sure of what might happen either. For now, I can only use numerous different gene reagents and observe whether the energy particles are stimted and be lively."

    Ultimately, Wang Chun decided to not reject Chen Feng. The reason for this was the arrival of the devil race and ancient race, which had transformed the entire world. He was too clear on how important this was to humanity. More importantly, he had the utmost trust in Chen Feng.

    Since he had known Chen Feng, how many miracles had this fellow created? Since Chen Feng said that it was possible, then that had to be the case. Naturally, he would prefer if Chen Feng could maintain a certain distance from his summoneddies.

    Chen Feng was grateful. "Many thanks."

    After finishing the discussion, Chen Feng started the tests. Toward the researchers involved in this project, the Gic Union and Gene Production Association had authorized the usage of all gene reagents. As such, Chen Feng gathered all gene reagents capable of stimting one¡¯s energy. With that, the tests began.

    First test.

    Pu!

    Numerous gene reagents were injected into thedies. Next, the recording device started recording the changes in their energies faithfully. The first gene reagent was ineffective. The power of beyond didn¡¯t appear.

    Second test.

    Chen Feng proceeded to the next test calmly. From the start of the tests, he had already been aware that this was not something that could bepleted in a single day. Shortly after, the second gene reagent was proven ineffective as well.

    Third test.

    Fourth test.

    ...

    The tests proceeded without stop. Chen Feng had a rather clear-cut goal as well: by provoking their energy without stop, he would filter out the gene reagents capable of provoking the power of beyond into appearance.

    After three days, the first gene reagent capable of stimting the power of beyond appeared. Granted, this beyond state onlysted for 0.00001 seconds. Unfortunately, this gene reagent had only worked on Shen Yi. When Chen Feng tried using it on the otherdies, nothing happened. Another failure.

    This was precisely the reason Chen Feng had decided he would require several different energies for his research. In this gic era, there was a myriad of differing abilities. As such, it was not possible for Chen Feng to direct his research toward the search of items capable of stimting gic abilities. Therefore, he had chosen to provoke the energy instead.

    Subsequently, simr situations urred several times where the gene reagent only worked on one of them and not the others. This continued until the seventh day, when the first gene reagent that worked for everyone appeared. Unfortunately, the duration of the beyond state was extremely short as well.

    "Sess! The first gene reagent that works on everyone has finally appeared. The active duration is too short, as it is less than one ten-thousandth of a second. If not for the recording devices, we probably would have failed to even notice it. Increase the dosage for the next test."

    The intensity of the gene reagent was increased by tenfold. And next... thedies died.

    Under the high-intensity stimtion, the eyes of thedies rolled over before they directly died as they transformed into countless energy particles and dissipated. This caused Chen Feng to be in a stupor for quite a while before he recovered. Indeed, increasing the dosage was unreliable. Chen Feng sighed.

    "Note this gene reagent down first. We shall continue trying out other gene reagents," Chen Fengmanded.

    Shua! Shua!

    Once again, the testing continued. This time, he stuck with conducting preliminary tests before noting down all the results. Even the gene reagents that had only worked on one of them were recorded. Only after one entire month did this phase of testing end. Through this one month of crazy tests, the gains were rather bountiful. A total of 162 gene reagents were able to provoke the power of beyond in Shen Yi. For Shen Wei, it was 155 gene reagents. Each of thedies had a different number of gene reagents that worked for them. s, ultimately, it was noted that only 15 gene reagents were those all of them could use. These were Chen Feng¡¯s actual goal.

    Granted, the power of beyond onlysted a split second for each of them. If it wasn¡¯t for the recording devices, they wouldn¡¯t have noticed it happening.

    "Extract the core materials of these gene reagents before continuing," Chen Feng decided without hesitation.

    If the first round of the tests were in order to discover the working gene reagents, the second round of tests were to figure out the true materials that had caused the effect. Among these gene reagents, what was it that had been capable of provoking the appearance of beyond? Some base materials? Some resurrection elements? All of these would require further testing.

    One time.

    Two times.

    Three times.

    ...

    Once again, Chen Feng started researching crazily. Ultimately, among the 15 gene reagents, 22 types of materials were selected. It was precisely these 22 materials that had provoked the appearance of beyond.

    Chen Feng had a sudden idea. "If all 22 of these were blended..." Without hesitation, he blended all 22 materials together before feeding them to thedies. And next, all thedies immediately died!

    Chen Feng sighed. "Failed?" Wang Chun looked at him helplessly. He took a short rest before once again summoning all thedies.

    Wang Chun sighed. "Can you be more reliable?"

    "I am already very reliable," Chen Feng stated forthrightly.

    Wang Chun protested his fate. "Even if they don¡¯t truly die, you can¡¯t do this, right? Moreover, how many times have I told you? I am not ady summoner!"

    "Haha, how could I think that way... eh?" Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. That was because this time, thedies had been fed with different dosages of the fused materials, and Lady Shen Wei had actually remained as the sole survivor among thedies. Moreover, the power of beyond thatsted half a millisecond had been provoked in her. The duration was still extremely short, yet this was already much better than their previous results.

    Progress! Chen Feng was excited.

    He was now sure that using these 22 materials, if a certain gene reagent was produced using a certain form, a gene reagent capable of provoking the power of beyond could appear. Perhaps the concept of beyond was no longer so far away. Thanks to this single sess, thepletion of his research had instantly exceeded 50%.

    Chen Feng was overjoyed. "Sess!" Next, he only needed to produce the correct form and it would be sufficient toplete this research of his. Naturally, this was also the hardest step of his research. The creation of a form was the hardest thing to do. There were a total of 22 materials that would be used. Which should be allotted a higher portion? Which should be allotted a lower portion? Between liquid and gaseous form, which was required? Were catalysts required? What should the final concentration be? Would other mixing agents be required? And so on.

    Which fragment of the genes would be the most important? This seemed to be an extremely difficult task. Apart from selecting gene reagents from the gene bank, Chen Feng needed to select materials out of the gene reagents, and now, he had to select the gene fragments from among the materials. Only after the correct gene fragments were discovered and activated in the correct manner would this stand a chance at sess.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Come, then."

    For this part of his research, even the construction of an emtor was not possible. This was because nobody had any idea what might happen when any single material was reduced or increased by even 1%. This was the step where Chen Feng started thinking of using his Luck Aura. He had truly been waiting a long time to finally reach this final step.

    In order to save his luck value consumption, he had used only a single luck value to ascertain the direction of his research where required. For everything else, he had not dared to waste his luck value. If he had depended on luck value for his previous steps, upon reaching this point, the luck value at his disposal would be too limited. Now that he had been saving his luck value for an entire month while conducting his tests, his nearly emptied luck value had finally reached a respectable amount.

    Hum¡ª

    Light started swirling before him. Without hesitation, Chen Feng started inferring the correct form. Luck Aura, activate!

    All the research teams were busy with their research.

    A certain research team.

    "How¡¯s the progress?"

    "It¡¯s quite great. By provoking human blood, there is a certain degree of possibility for the power of beyond to be provoked. Our test has verified this as well."

    "How long is the active duration?"

    "One millisecond."

    "Not bad."

    The person in charge was gratified. One millisecond was most definitely the longest active duration since the start of this project. If this duration was expanded 1,000-fold, they could very well create history here.

    "Increase the dosage..."

    "Oh, I¡¯m afraid that won¡¯t work."

    "Why?"

    "Presently, our dosage is already at its maximum. Despite the sessful appearance of beyond, the stress on the human body is too intense. Let alone 1,000-fold, even doubling it could lead to mishaps."

    "..."

    The person in charge could only stop this thought with much regret. As the difference between this duration and a meaningful duration was 1,000-fold, it was pointless to try it out with only a onefold increase. They had already been testing this for several tens of days. Human potential had nearly been pushed to the limits by them. s, the duration of their power of beyond onlysted for a pathetic one millisecond.

    "Perhaps the duration is rted to their strength?" the person in charge asked.

    "We are already using B-ss warriors. If any increase is required, we will have to use an A-ss warrior, but then, this research will be pointless if we use A-ss warriors."

    "True..."

    The person in chargepsed into silence. During this month, from the initial duration of one microsecond, they had sessfully pushed it to one millisecond. Unfortunately, the bottleneck for human body research had already been reached. Right now, there were no other ways of progressing. If even a peak B-ss warrior could onlyst one millisecond, what about others?

    "Perhaps... from the start, we have been researching in the wrong direction."

    The person in charge frowned. Should he try researching in a different direction? But then, regardless of which direction they decided to choose, they would have to start from scratch. It was already toote for that. Unless...

    Suddenly, the eyes of the person in charge shone as he recalled a particr research direction. Energy! A short while ago, that person called Chen Feng had seemingly supplied the data on this train of thought. Unfortunately, nobody had believed him. Now that the person in charge thought of it, this seemed like quite a feasible direction to take.

    Indeed. This direction, then! The person in charge pped his thigh as he decided. Chen Feng only had himself in his entire team, while they had aplete full team filled with experienced researchers. If they started energy research right now, they would definitely surpass Chen Feng soon enough.

    The person in charge decided on the direction speedily. "You. Draw up the n and gather all energy stimnt gene reagents. I want to start the tests immediately."

    "All right."

    His underlings did what hemanded immediately. s, only after a short while, the underling returned empty handed.

    The person in charge was rather astonished. "Done?"

    "Oh..." That person paused. "Earlier, when I tried to get the gene reagents, the data indicated that there was currently ack of stock."

    "Just get whatever is avable for now, then," the person in charge stated unhappily. This fellow had been an assistant for so long yet still needed to seek his opinion for something like this?

    "Oh." The assistant¡¯s expression was somewhat unsightly. After a slight hesitation, he stated, "All the gene reagents arecking in stock."

    The person in charge¡¯s eyes widened. "What?" All of them? Are you kidding? This is the Gic Union!

    Due to the disaster that had befallen Star City, nearly all the Gene Production Association¡¯s stock of gene reagents were being kept here now. Each gene reagent was present in an extremely huge amount, yet theycked stock? How was that possible?

    The assistant turned his screen interface on. "It¡¯s true." On the screen, a session of red warning windows could be seen. All gene reagents rted to the stimtion of energy were currentlycking in stock.

    The person in charge was rmed. "What¡¯s going on?" Had a huge amount of people started researching in this direction as well? If everyone had noticed this, it would be pointless for him to undertake this direction. If this was truly the case...

    The anxious person in charge turned on the project interface. Instantly, he heaved a sigh of relief. That was because the only one who had gathered those gene reagents was Chen Feng.

    The person in charge sneered. "This guy again." He checked the record of gene reagent withdrawals. By numerous batches, all the gene reagents had been withdrawn by Chen Feng.

    "Indeed..."

    Rather than being angry, the person in chargeughed. Could a single person truly finish up all the gene reagents? Evidently, it was impossible. If so, why had Chen Feng withdrawn all the gene reagents in such a hurry? This signified that he had indeed made a breakthrough in this direction of research and had decided to withdraw all the rted gene reagents to prevent others from researching the same thing.

    That had to be the case! If their team had been the one who had managed to apply for these gene reagents for research, with the specialized and richer experience of their team, they would most certainly have obtained a research result faster than Chen Feng.

    "Apply for the gene reagents," the person in charge stated without the slightest hesitation.

    "A long time might be required to transfer stocks from other ces," the assistant reminded him.

    The person in charge sneered. "Who says that we are transferring stock from other ces? There is no need for that. In fact, this is quite easy to deal with. Since when has the gene bank been a ce one could withdraw gene reagents without limit? Any researcher has to first submit an application before withdrawing any gene reagents. Previously, Chen Feng is the only one who was researching energy. As such, his application was easily approved. Now that we are here as well... there is no way he will be allowed a monopoly over all the gene reagents. Launch an officialint toward the Gene Production Association. Tell them that Chen Feng is engaging in an unfairpetition by keeping all gene reagents for himself. Regardless of how many it is that he obtained, I want him to give half of them to me," the person in charge stated with a cold gaze. He was aware that this would not only increase the speed of their research but would also enable them to enter the testing phase much faster. This would also mess up Chen Feng¡¯s ns.

    "Understood," the assistant said. Soon, aint and application were submitted. Logically, the Gene Production Association would take this extremely seriously and would usuallye out with a judgment in a short amount of time. Indeed, shortly after theint was submitted, not even five minutes had passed before they received a reply.

    The person in charge smiled calmly. "I knew it." What could a single Chen Feng, the lone member of an entire team, do?

    Shua!

    A screen popped up. Calmly, the person in charge read what was on his screen. Suddenly, he nked. With his widened eyes, he stared at the official reply, unbelieving.

    This, this, this...

    The person in charge was dumbfounded.

    What¡¯s up?

    Curiously, the assistant walked over to take a look. Instantly, he was stupefied as well. That was because, on the screen, only a single word could be seen: "Scram!" Below the "scram" was the official seal of the Gene Production Association.

    Hold on... had there been an error somewhere? The assistant was somewhat dumbstruck. He studied the seal in detail and noticed that it was indeed the correct seal. Normally, such official replies were something that needed to be vetted before being sent out. As such, there had most certainly been no errors. If so, why was the word "scram" the reply, then?

    Next, he noted that right below the red seal was a signature. Normally, this would be the signature of the person in charge of the Gene Production Association. This time, the name signed there was an incredibly familiar name: Chen Feng!

    The assistant nked. "Chen... Chen Feng?"

    Evidently, the person in charge had yet to recover from his stupor. "What Chen Feng?"

    The assistant carefully pointed at the signature. "There."

    Shua!

    Instantly, the roompsed into silence. Only now did the person in charge note that around half a year or a year ago, there had indeed been news stating that Chen Feng had been promoted to be part of the Gene Production Association¡¯s management. He had forgotten about it because normally, he wasn¡¯t much interested in gossip and normally only listened to such things briefly before forgetting about them.

    After all, the news pertaining to Chen Feng had been too surprising. As such, he had believed that it was merely a rumor. Now, though, it seemed like that was the truth.

    Chen Feng! A mere B-ss warrior, a mere producer, had be part of the Gene Production Association¡¯s management!

    "Should we sue him?" the assistant asked instinctively.

    "..." The person in charge looked at the assistant like he was looking at an idiot. "Do you know what being part of the management signifies? It signifies that he has the authority to control all avable gene reagents. Regardless of the type of gene reagents, he has the rights to control them. If we anger him, do you think we can continue on with other tests?" the person in charge stated coldly.

    "Ah?" The assistant was rmed. "So grave?"

    The person in charge sighed. "What do you think? Just because he hasn¡¯t messed with other research does not mean that he can¡¯t do it. The previous Wang Yao incident made me think of him as a reckless person that could be dealt with easily any time I wanted. Now, though, if he truly wants to make a move, the losing party might very well be us."

    "What should we do, then?"

    "Rearrange all our data and send it to Chen Feng. Since we are already slower in this direction of research, we can¡¯t slow down. We must follow after Chen Feng¡¯s pace. This identity of his has instead caused my confidence in him to increase."

 Chapter 503: Limit

    Chapter 503: Limit

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At this time, Chen Feng had finally finished inferring the form. Unfortunately, even with the full activation of his Luck Aura, hispleted form had only increased the active duration of beyond to a pitiful 300 milliseconds, or in other words, 0.3 seconds.

    "This won¡¯t do..." Chen Feng muttered. This duration of 0.3 seconds was way too short. Ending before even starting¡ªwhat, was this a quickie? Chen Feng started imagining a situation where during a battle, during the crisis of life and death, when one erupted with one¡¯s strongest trump card, the power of beyond onlysted a split second and ended before one could even unleash an ability with it.

    What was this akin to? This was akin to one reaching orgasm before even taking one¡¯s pants off. This was too excessive! The shortest eptable duration for this test was a duration of one second. This was the determined minimum standard after numerous verifications. Only an active duration of one second and above could allow one to unleash even the simplest of abilities. This duration of 0.3 seconds was far from sufficient for that.

    "How much luck value was exhausted earlier?" Chen Feng asked.

    "700 points," Spirit answered honestly. "Out of the luck value you have saved up during the past month, only 100 points remain."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Indeed. After holding it in for an entire month, he¡¯d fired a single shot and it was all gone.

    He had initially thought that he would be able toplete this sessfully with a single attempt. s, the difficulty level of this research had far exceeded his imagination. Even after exhausting 700 luck value, he had only achieved a duration of 0.3 seconds. In other words, was this the limit of the 22 chosen materials? Or perhaps, was this the limit of energy?

    "Spirit, is this result of 0.3 the limit?"

    Chen Feng was somewhat anxious. If this was due to the limited amount of luck value he had or the sheer difficulty of the problem, he only needed to put more effort into it. But if it was truly the limit...

    Spirit¡¯s reply caused Chen Feng¡¯s heart to chill. "It has already reached the limit."

    "By inferring using these 22 materials, the most optimal result is a duration of 0.3 seconds. Using 700 luck value for this is already more than sufficient. Some luck value even overflowed during the process."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    "But you don¡¯t have to worry. The overflowed luck value was used with ¡¯inferring the power of beyond¡¯ as the basis. However, whether that has born any results remains to be seen," Spirit replied.

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. This was exactly what he had been worried about. He had truly never expected that the limit was 0.3 seconds. The concept of beyond was truly much harder to grasp than he had imagined. Even after choosing the correct research direction to pursue, he was still stuck here. If he had selected another direction... Chen Feng did not even need much pondering to know how tragic the end of the research would have been.

    That was evident by how earlier, someone had tried applying for energy stimting gene reagents and was told off by Chen Feng. Unexpectedly, only one day had passed since then and his own research was stuck at a bottleneck as well.

    Just 0.3 seconds...

    Chen Feng sunk into contemtion. Going forward, he would have to rely on other methods to increase this duration. Perhaps he could try using other materials on corresponding distinct energy? Chen Feng could remember clearly that all 22 chosen materials he had used weremon materials usable for all energy types. If he chose to focus the direction toward a specific individual, he would have more than 100 materials to work with. For example, a total of 160 materials would work on Shen Yi.

    But then, using this method, even if he reached the minimum standard of one second, it would be pointless, as this wouldn¡¯t be practical for others. Would he be forced to conduct specific research on each different individual from now on? Or perhaps... he should justplete the research on one individual first before thinking of his next step?

    Chen Feng contemted without stop. Right at this moment, his wristband buzzed. Instinctively, Chen Feng gave it a nce. Instantly, he was astonished at what he had received. On his screen was aplete set of research data.

    ----

    Project code: MILD-971

    Project content: Through gene reagents, gic abilities, chemical reagents, animal liquids, and all sort of other materials, stimte the power of beyond from a gic warrior¡¯s physical body.

    Result: Sess

    Duration: 0.001 second

    Project team: BolkoChost team

    ----

    "Sess?"

    Chen Feng eximed in admiration. This was indeed worthy of being a well-known research team of the Gic Union. Only with the numerous advantages Chen Feng had coupled with using luck value toplete the biggest chunk of his job had Chen Feng managed toplete his research. Astonishingly, this team had alsopleted their chosen research, the research on one¡¯s physical body. Despite the duration being a short one millisecond, that short duration was in fact due to the limitations imposed by them researching in the wrong direction.

    But then, why had they sent this to him? Chen Feng was somewhat surprised. Only shortly after did he note the short row of words behind the dataset. They were hoping to cooperate with Chen Feng and were willing to assist Chen Feng in thepletion of his research.

    BolkoChost team...

    Why was this name so familiar? Chen Feng recalled that indeed, this was the team that had been told off by him earlier.

    "Seems like the overflowed portion of the 700 luck value still yed a small role after all," Chen Feng guessed.

    Despite the fact that arge portion of the 700 luck value had been focused on inferring the form, the small amount of overflowed luck value had managed to bring about an unexpected result after Spirit¡¯s optimization. This team had astonishingly offered to cooperate with him. For Chen Feng, this was a good piece of news. Since both energy and physical body research had reached the limit, what if the results werebined?

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. Shortly after, he invited them over. When they found out that Chen Feng¡¯s research had reached a duration of 300 milliseconds, they were greatly shocked. This was a progress 300 times higher than theirs! Indeed, energy research was the correct direction of research.

    "Now, I am thinking ofbining the results," Chen Feng stated honestly. "You guys shall provide a suitable body-provoking gene reagent while I shall provide a suitable energy-provoking gene reagent. With thebination of both..."

    Soon, a blended reagent was produced. This was a gene reagent with a faint gold color and a faint aroma leaking out of it. What would the effect of this thing be? It was unknown. This was not some simple math like 1+1=2. In fact, under their research, 1+1 would either be far greater or lower than 2.

    Chen Feng contacted the person with the highest vitality. "Xu Fei."

    "Here I am." Xu Fei gulped the gene reagent down without any hesitation.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint power started dispersing. Everyone stared unwaveringly at Xu Fei without stop until, finally, a trace of that formidable power emanated out of his body.

    Bang!

    A gold radiance bloomed. Beyond had appeared!

    The screen on their recording device started flickering without stop. Everyone looked at the timer with expectation: 50, 100, 150, 200, 250... 310!

    "It surpassed the previous record!"

    Everyone was overjoyed. They had finally surpassed the limit of 300! Surprising all of them, this number was still increasing: 350, 400, 500, 600... Ultimately, it stopped at 800. A duration of 0.8 seconds!

    Everyone was enraptured. Indeed, 1+1 had brought about a result far greater than 2! Fusion was the way to go.

    "Genius!"

    Everyone in the BolkoChost team gazed at Chen Feng respectfully. He was indeed worthy of being part of the management of the Gene Production Association, worthy of being a legendary excellent producer. This result alone was already sufficient to cause countless people to look up to him.

    "This 0.8 seconds is not the limit," Chen Feng stated decisively. "We can continue to allocate the different data to figure out the most fitting ratio."

    The person in charge of that team epted this troublesome task immediately. "Let us deal with that." Soon, after numerous attempts, the new ratio of the gene reagent had reached the limit, with the active duration being one second!

    "Sess!"

    "Haha, we have seeded!"

    Everyone was overjoyed. They had done it! They knew that from then on, the fate of humanity would change! This was a day fated to be entered into the annals of history!

 Chapter 504: What Is This?

    Chapter 504: What Is This?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Outer space.

    Due to the appearance of the devil race and ancient race, a huge amount of wealthy big shots had departed this, drifting through space. The spaceships that had only been used for holiday tours had all been transformed and had several energy shuttles added to them to transform them into battleships. Even spaceships that did not reach the standard of a battleship were outfitted with several shuttles so that these ships could be sted into outer space.

    Presently, a huge battleship was hovering somewhere in space. The ck ice-cold exterior of this battleship exuded a mysterious and metallic feeling, demonstrating that this battleship was obviously different than the other ships around it. This was a battleship in the truest sense.

    At present moment, within the battleship, a certain middle-aged man was reading the news on the screen silently. Despite the huge amount of white hair on his head, he still appeared rather robust and healthy.

    He appeared gratified as he asked, "Has the research on the new gene reagent seeded?" The power of beyond... Humanity had finally reached this step?

    "You should take a rest," the female assistant beside him reminded him.

    "All right." He paused. "Include news pertaining to Chen Feng in the daily reports from now on as well."

    "Chen Feng?"

    The female assistant was rather surprised. From the to where they were, every piece of news sent to them was sent with great difficulty. As the distance between them and the increased, the cost of information transmission would exponentially increase. Even so, Chen Feng was worth being added to their daily report as well? She voiced her doubts.

    "Chen Feng is rather different." That person smiled yet did not provide much exnation.

    "All right." The female assistant bowed slightly before leaving to do what had been asked of her. The person stood up and proceeded to gaze in the direction of that that was so very far from their present location. His gaze appeared as deep as night itself.

    ***

    Bang!

    The gold radiance shone.

    The moment when a dazzling radiance erupted around Xu Fei as his entire person transformed like a super saiyan was a new milestone for humanity as a whole. s, with his bald head, Xu Fei appeared rather viinous.

    "Sess!"

    The tactful BC team had decided to note in their submission form that 80% of this result was the result of Chen Feng¡¯s contributions, while their entire team had contributed only 20% of this. Even with this, they were still rather anxious. That was because the content of their research was no longer a secret now, yet the energy stimnt gene reagent of Chen Feng¡¯s still remained a secret only known to Chen Feng.

    As Chen Feng nced at the submission form they had filled out, he was immensely satisfied. If possible, he was definitely not willing to waste even a single second here. Since this BC team had sessfully assisted him in greatly reducing the time spent on this research, he reasoned that it was eptable for them to im 20% credit for this result.

    The BC team was extremely grateful. "Many thanks."

    And now, their research titled "New Gene Reagent" was formally submitted to their superiors. Surprisingly, they were actually not the first team who hadpleted their research. Moreover, they were not even the second team to havepleted their research.

    The person in charge of the BC team was extremely shocked. "We ced third?" Third team? Two other teams hadpleted the research before them?

    "Indeed." The employee checked the submission form. "Two other teams also submitted their forms earlier today."

    The person in charge: "..."

    He still couldn¡¯t believe this. They were extremely clear on how difficult this research was. It was so hard that when they had started on this, they had braced themselves for a research that would take them three, five, or even ten years.

    Why had so many people been focusing on body research? That was because this was the aspect of research easiest to verify. With that, regardless of whether their research ended in sess or failure, they would be able to decide on their next step from their research results. An example was them, who had subsequently decided on energy as the next direction of their research. The only reason they had seeded was because of Chen Feng and luck.

    Completing the research in a little bit over one month in itself was a miraculous feat. This was a miracle of Chen Feng¡¯s, but now, those guys...

    The person in charge frowned deeply as he contemted. It wasn¡¯t really hard to stimte the power of beyond. One only needed to focus on a correct direction and use the proper equipment and one would be able to stimte a split second of the power of beyond. But then, for this project, the minimum requirement was a duration of one second.

    Their team, the BC team, was a team self-proimed as the top three team of researchers in the Gic Union. Even with them, they had only managed to reach the duration of one millisecond. And now, he had discovered that two other teams had alsopleted this research? There had to be some problem somewhere. As the person in charge brought the news back, the rest couldn¡¯t believe this as well.

    "Lock down the research area," Chen Feng ordered without hesitation. "From now onward, nobody is allowed to leave."

    Next, he looked at the person in charge and said, "You,e with me. Let us go take a look at this so-called research result of theirs. Let¡¯s see how legendary their results are."

    The person in charge of BC team nodded. "All right." He was, after all, still filled with doubt as well. Seeing how Chen Feng had locked down everyone else decisively, he was rather anxious as well. Was there truly an internal problem that had caused their form to be leaked?

    Chen Feng shook his head. "That¡¯s not possible. I am the only one who knows this form of mine."

    The person in charge nodded his head solemnly.

    "Let¡¯s go." Leading him, Chen Feng left the research hall. The significance of the result of the Beyond X project was extremely huge. As such, from the moment the first form had been submitted, almost all the big shots had been rmed. By the time the second and third form had been submitted, all these big shots had already returned to the Gic Union. Presently, they were preparing to verify the results of the first team that had submitted the form.

    Chen Feng and the person in charge walked into the room. When the others saw them and noted that they were the third team to submit their results, they were told to take a seat and continue observing the first submission.

    The person in charge of BC team introduced the leader of the first team to Chen Feng. "His name is Man Junxi. The research team he leads is also the best team."

    "Mhm." Chen Feng sat down and focused his gaze on that person. He was a rather handsome youth who appeared to be around 26 or 27 years old. Presently, he was describing his research excitedly.

    The superiors interrupted him. "Start immediately. We only want to see the result."

    So many of them had onlye to see the result. It had only been a little bit over a month so far. Had the concept of beyond been grasped so fast?

    Man Junxi nodded. "All right." The so-called demonstration was in fact extremely simple.

    Man Junxi pulled over a gic warrior. "Look at this, everyone. I have a certain gic warrior."

    The big shots nced at that person and were able to see through his strength. This was a B ss.

    He took out thetest gene reagent they had produced. "I have a super reagent." In a well-practiced manner, Man Junxi chanted his lines.

    "Oh¡ª"

    "Beyond B ss!"

    Gulp!

    The gic union member swallowed the gene reagent immediately.

    Bang!

    A terrifying golden radiance started emanating out of his body. Everyone stood up abruptly and looked at that person with an inconceivable expression. Even Chen Feng and hispanion was rmed. This was truly the power of beyond B ss. That gic warrior had indeed be a beyond B ss warrior.

    The beyond B ss warrior roared. "Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Three attacks were unleashed in session by him.

    Beyond B!

    Beyond B!

    Beyond B!

    No mistake. Even after unleashing the attacks, he still remained in the beyond B state for three extra seconds before it ended. Even afterward, the gic warrior did not seem to have suffered from any side effects either.

    This...

    Everyone was rmed.

 Chapter 505: The Timing Is Too Coincidental

    Chapter 505: The Timing Is Too Coincidental

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Gic Union.

    The resplendent gold shocked countless people. Everyone was clear on how difficult this Beyond X project was. None of them had expected that in a short one month, someone would have already seeded. Moreover, it was such a high degree ofpletion. A duration of three seconds? This guy...

    Shua!

    Everyone stood up uniformly and gazed at the arena.

    "What do you think?" Chen Feng asked the person in charge of BC beside him.

    "Oh." He paused. "I¡¯m not sure."

    Initially, he had not believed that someone else hadpleted this research as well. However, when the result was demonstrated in front of him, he had no choice but to believe it. There were indeed other teams that hadpleted the research as well.

    Suddenly, the person in charge thought of a possibility. "This might be a result of focused research." If they had only focused on a single B-ss gic warrior in their tests to push that person to the state of beyond, such a research speed would be possible. However, the w of such a research was the fact that the result was something that would not work on everyone. Perhaps this was the reason they hadpleted their research so fast?

    Chen Feng sneered. "Focused research?"

    Presently, the crowd was cheering the demonstration before them.

    Everyone started talking emotionally.

    "Good."

    "This is too excellent."

    "What historic moment!"

    "Dear seniors, please listen to me." In a somewhat guilty manner, Man Junxi stated, "Although the demonstration was very sessful, there are still some ws in our research. For example, the solution does not work on everyone."

    Everyone nked momentarily before recovering themselves and nodding slightly. "That is understandable." This was the only rational reason for Man Junxi¡¯s team to have reached this far in their research in such a short period of time. Not working for everyone, eh? It did not matter, though. As long as there was a first, there would be more results moving on. At the very least, them reaching a duration of three seconds in their very first research was already a demonstration that this Beyond X project was indeed something that stood a chance at seeding.

    "Very good." The head of the research department was very satisfied. "As such, we can halt all other research and focus on this direction alone..."

    The assistant stopped him. "Hold on. Head, there are two more results that have yet to be presented."

    Only now did the head recall this. "Oh, oh." He had indeed been too excited after seeing this first result. Based on their protocol, he should indeed take a look at all submissions. But then, he truly did not put much hope in the subsequent two results.

    "Please wait a moment," the head told Man Junxi gently. "Let¡¯s take a look at the subsequent presentations together."

    Man Junxi was somewhat disappointed. "All right." Ultimately, the others had still managed to submit their results. Next, everyone started waiting for the second presentation. Nobody noticed the cold gleam that shed through Chen Feng¡¯s eyes. What the head had said earlier had indeed rmed him. To stop all other research and focus on this one? That meant... Suddenly, he turned around and looked at the person in charge of the BC team beside him.

    The person in charge of the BC team smiled bitterly. "This is also the reason my team decided to work with you. The Gic Union started with so many research teams purely to encouragepetition and to provoke growth. Since we are still in the initial stages, naturally, the more research teams, the better. But the moment the research enters the developmental stage, for long-term benefits, all research teams must bebined."

    "In other words..."

    "Apart from the research that the union decides to focus on, all other research will be stopped."

    This startled Chen Feng. So that was the case! Previously, he had still been feeling doubtful. Even if other teams also had their results, it wouldn¡¯t be such a coincidence as three teams submitting their results on the same day. Now that he looked at it...

    Chen Feng sneered. "They were aware that we are submitting our results today. Initially, they nned to continue their research before submitting. After finding out that we are submitting our results today, they submitted their results earlier than us without any hesitation. Moreover, in order to obtain control over the entire project, they have to have a better result than us. At least, that is what it seems like."

    Chen Feng¡¯s brain raced. A lot of things he hadn¡¯t understood initially appeared clear now.

    "In short, if we hadn¡¯t decided to submit our results today, they won¡¯t have either. From the timing of their submission, they merely submitted less than an hour before us. This shows that although there are no traitors in your BC team, someone still leaked our submission time. This is the reason the other two teams managed to submit before us. Second, since these two teams hadn¡¯t submitted their results before this, this signifies that their results must be iplete. The only reason they rushed their submissions is the pressure they were feeling from us. If so, their results must be wed. If they had truly reached the extent of pushing the duration of beyond to three seconds, they would have submitted their results long ago instead of waiting till now. Third, their presentation appears rather awkward. Despite theck of actual mistakes during their presentation, it is obvious that this was the first time the B-ss warrior had obtained such power."

    Shortly after, Chen Feng rearranged his thoughts. He was sure that there had to be some problem somewhere with this Man Junxi guy.

    Chen Feng sent a message to Qin Hai. "Qin Hai, investigate this Man Junxi guy for me."

    Qin Hai: "...Why are you telling me to investigate someone from your Gic Union?"

    Qin Hai did not know whether tough or cry.

    Chen Feng smiled. "Naturally, I will have someone investigate from my side, but haven¡¯t you heard that the person who knows you best is your enemy? I believe that on your side, there must be a certain amount of records."

    Qin Hai shrugged. "Fine." Man Junxi... this seemed to be the child of a certain powerful family. The ancient race had indeed prepared a record detailing the family of this Man Junxi.

    "Let me conduct some checks." Qin Hai left to look for information.

    As for Chen Feng, he continued observing the presentation without a change in his expression. Presently, Man Junxi was already crouching silently at the side. This time, an old man walked out. He appeared to be around 70 or 80 years old and was presenting the results of his team.

    "Stand here."

    He led a B-ss warrior out before taking out their team¡¯s gene reagent.

    Gulp.

    The gene reagent was swallowed.

    Bang!

    Gold radiance surged.

    Indeed, yet another super saiyan appeared. The formidable power surged. Even if this level of power wasn¡¯t much for the people here, the significance of this power was very huge. Beyond B ss! Yet another beyond B ss!

    "Good."

    "Very good."

    The head was extremely excited. Now that two teams had seeded in their research, this signified that this undertaking was indeed doable. The future of humanity was now within their grasp! rming everyone there, this was merely the beginning.

    One second.

    Two seconds.

    Three seconds...

    "It¡¯s still active?"

    They seemed to realize something.

    Four seconds!

    Even Man Junxi¡¯s eyes widened.

    Five seconds!

    Everyone was in an uproar.

    Shua!

    Finally, the power of beyond stopped.

    Everyone was incredibly emotional. Five seconds! After the first team¡¯s three seconds, a team with five seconds had appeared. This was too powerful!

    "Are there any restrictions on this?" the head asked instinctively.

    "Oh... the gene reagent does not work well on everyone," the old man stated.

    "That¡¯s fine, that¡¯s fine." The head was all smiles. "To make it work for everyone, a countless amount of tests will be required. Time will be required as well. To have reached this point is already an extremely good result."

 Chapter 506: Vitality Exhaustion?

    Chapter 506: Vitality Exhaustion?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "There¡¯s another w." The old man paused. "The probability is rather low. After producing 100 such gene reagents, only one of them seeded."

    "A sess rate of 1%?" The head of the department appeared rather gratified. "Such a high sess rate?"

    Indeed. This was actually a high sess rate. As long as the sess rate was 1% or above, they would be able to produce a huge amount of them. The moment they started mass producing these gene reagents... they would be able to enter the proper mass-manufacturing phase. This demonstration by the second team seemed to be even better than the first team¡¯s. Both their results seemed eptable as well. Which should they select, then? Everyone was filled with expectation.

    Chen Feng frowned. "Another sess?" Even if he overlooked the sess of that old man Man Junxi, even this old man had seeded as well. Chen Feng had studied the demonstration properly and had noted that no problems could be found. Different from Man Junxi¡¯s rather clumsy demonstration, this second team¡¯s test appeared incredibly well practiced. From the performance of that gic warrior, it could be deduced that this team had clearly practiced this countless times and that this was not their first time at this.

    Even Chen Feng started having doubts. "Could it be that they truly seeded by themselves?"

    During Man Junxi¡¯s demonstration, the B-ss warrior of theirs had clearly not been well practiced with what he should do. With a single look, one could deduce that this was the first time he had grasped this power of beyond B ss. Even if everything looked normal, to Chen Feng¡¯s group, which already had numerous encounters with this power of beyond, that B-ss warrior¡¯s performance was too unpracticed.

    This was most definitely the first time for Man Junxi¡¯s team. Prior to this, they hadn¡¯t conducted any relevant tests that had resulted in the power of beyond. That was the reason their demonstration had appeared so clumsy. As for this old man and his team, their understanding and grasp of the power of beyond almost exceeded even Chen Feng¡¯s group¡¯s. This was even more so for their B-ss warrior.

    Evidently, this was a test they had done a huge number of times. This was a team that was even more mature and steady than thebination of Chen Feng and the BC team. This team...

    Even Chen Feng started doubting whether this team had truly seeded on their own. But then, this thought onlysted momentarily before being dispelled by Chen Feng. The only reason for this was the timing for their submission, which was truly too coincidental. After all, all three submissions had been submitted together.

    This signified that this second team had most certainly been forced to conduct this demonstration out of nowhere. However, despite the forced demonstration, they had still been able to conduct it in an extremely well-practiced manner. What was the problem here, then? Or perhaps... there was an unknown fatal w to their produced gene reagent?

    Chen Feng fixed his gaze on that B-ss warrior. Suddenly, he noted that this B-ss warriors¡¯plexion was somewhat pale and appeared rather weakened.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted slightly. Weakened... Is this a gene reagent that exhausts one¡¯s vitality?

    Right at this moment, before Chen Feng could even say anything, that person called Man Junxi started talking. "Head, I feel like there¡¯s a problem with their test."

    The head frowned. "Oh?"

    "During our tests, we discovered that three seconds is already humanity¡¯s limit. At least, this is the case when this power of beyond is achieved with the help of items. If this limit is surpassed, there is a possibility that one¡¯s vitality will be exhausted. As such, the gains do not make up for the losses. This is also the reason we keptpressing our tests. As for them..." Man Junxi pointed at the B-ss warrior. "He looks pale. Perhaps he has excessively exhausted his vitality?"

    Shua!

    Everyone¡¯s gaze uniformlynded on that gic warrior. Indeed, hisplexion was pale and was even sweating all over. Both his legs appeared rather weak as he stood there forcefully. From the looks of it, he truly looked like someone who had overexerted his vitality. This test result was problematic! When the head saw this was, he thought that this fellow¡¯s condition felt so simr to his condition after the seven-day honeymoon with his wife back then.

    Mhm... this was an extremely dangerous condition.

    Essentially, this Beyond X project had been started to trigger the power of beyond in humanity, to trigger the hidden potential within a human¡¯s body, to give humanity a better future. This was not a project just to give humans temporary strength. If they wanted a temporary boost in strength, they already had a huge amount of gene reagents capable of achieving the same effect.

    What they sought was the future! The future of humanity! If this power of beyond was obtained at the cost of humanity¡¯s vitality, the gains would most definitely not make up for the losses. As he thought of this, the head¡¯s expression became unprecedentedly solemn.

    "Test his vitality," the head stated solemnly.

    "Yes."

    The test crews of the Gic Union stepped forth.

    A smile appeared on Man Junxi¡¯s face. This old fellow was trying topete against him with just this? As for the old man from the second team, he merely watched on with a gloomy expression, not trying to stop this at all. Soon, the test waspleted.

    "How is it?" the head asked.

    "Oh." The test crew shrugged. "Indeed, something isn¡¯t right."

    "Indeed."

    Some people there started shaking their head sighing. Just to obtain progress in their research, they had already started doing such things? This was truly...

    "Ban their entire research team," the head stated without any hesitation.

    Man Junxi beamed. "You are wise, head. Against such fraudsters..."

    "No, that¡¯s not the case."

    The test crew waved his hand, "His vitality is indeed rather different. However, how should I exin this? His vitality appears much livelier than an ordinary person¡¯s. From our initial estimate, his life span will be 20% higher than an ordinary person¡¯s."

    Shua!

    Instantly, everyonepsed into silence. An extra 20% life span? Hold on. In other words, there were no issues with this guy? Rather, his vitality was much more vigorous than others¡¯?

    "I don¡¯t know if this is rted to the power of beyond," the test crewmented. "In short, vitality-wise, he¡¯s certainly doing exceptionally."

    Everyone gasped in admiration. There¡¯s such an additional effect? If so...

    The head was extremely pleased. "Not bad."

    "Hold on."

    Seeing how things weren¡¯t going as he wished, Man Junxi started analyzing the test data. He was personally a rather formidable researcher. As such, he was able to point to the crux immediately after studying the data.

    Suddenly, Man Junxi said, "What if his initial vitality before this was already 30% higher than others?"

    As everyone heard this, they sunk into contemtion.

    Man Junxi analyzed rationally. "In this gic era, whether it is due to genes or other factors, it is normal for some people to have much higher vitality than others. I have even seen a genius with a vitality 200% higher than others before. If we allowed him to join as a test subject, wouldn¡¯t he obtain a final vitality of 190% in the end? Would that be considered a sess then? Clearly, the answer is no! This fellow is turning pale all over and his body is weak. With a single look, one can see that he does not seem to be feeling very well. That is also the reason I doubted him. If possible, I would like to have the data of his vitality prior to this test. Since you guys are researching on human body, during your past tests, your group had surely recorded the details of his vitality, right?" Man Junxi stated without holding back.

    As the others heard this, they nodded approvingly. This was a fair argument, and his question was fair as well. Even the head couldn¡¯t think of a retort to this.

    "Do you have any records?" the head asked the old man.

    "Yes," the old man answered, and the gloomy expression on his face remained. "I will get someone to bring them over."

    Man Junxi sneered. "Let me see how much longer you can continue pretending."

    Shortly afterward, the record was brought over. The full data for that test subject was exposed. rming everyone there, all the prior tests on this test subject had remained at 20% above others from the start of his participation. This had remained throughout the 20 days he had participated. Man Junxi widened his eyes as he saw this. This... how was this possible?

 Chapter 507: Whatâ€™s the Issue?

    Chapter 507: What¡¯s the Issue?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The old man gazed at Man Junxi coldly. "What other questions do you still have?"

    Man Junxi remained in a daze for a long time. "I..." There was nothing wrong? How was that possible? He was all too clear on how terrifying and difficult the power of beyond was. Even their team was...

    But now, there were no problems whatsoever with this old man¡¯s demonstration? No problems whatsoever could be found with that gic warrior? Now, before activating the power of beyond in him or even before the tests had started, there were no problems. The second demonstration was obviously better than the first.

    The doubts raised by Man Junxi had instead entrenched the result of this second team in the hearts of the observers here. Moreover, afterparing both their demonstrations, that clumsy demonstration of Man Junxi¡¯s team was clearly on an entirely different level whenpared with this old man¡¯s team. It was obvious that this old man¡¯s team was further in their research. Comparatively, Man Junxi¡¯s team was too unripe.

    This caused others to doubt if the power of beyond that this first team had grasped was somewhat problematic, resulting in their clumsy demonstration, as their version of the power of beyond was too hard to properly control. Or perhaps their version of beyond was too lively? All these were questions worth pondering.

    On the stage, the head of the department exchanged nces with several others before nodding slightly. Regardless of everything, they were all more inclined toward a power that was better improved, more matured, and steadier. It was clear that Man Junxi¡¯s team was somewhatcking in all these factors.

    Man Junxi¡¯s heart thumped. "This is bad." Previously, he had received news that Chen Feng¡¯s group had obtained an initial result and were submitting their results. That was why he had decided to submit his result hastily as well. Unexpectedly, this second team was their actual opponent. "This does not look good."

    Man Junxi was rmed. He was sure that the moment the main team was decided here, all the other teams would have to serve the selected main team. Moreover, all the fruits of their research would be unconditionally appropriated to the selected main team. When that happened, the other teams wouldn¡¯t be granted the option to even resist this. At that time...

    "Head," Man Junxi stated hastily.

    "We still have an even more detailed n on the direction of our research to be presented."

    "Yes. Simrly, our team¡¯s gene reagent does not work for everyone. However, our gene reagent has a sess rate of 100%. So long as our form is perfected, there will be no failures. We don¡¯t even need more researchers to help. The only thing we need to do is to solve this problem and make our gene reagent work for everyone. The new improved form will thus be ready for mass production, and the gene reagent will be avable to be distributed worldwide," Man Junxi stated emotionally.

    Oh?

    The others were tempted as they heard this. If so...

    On the stage, the head exchanged nces with several others. Evidently, they were tempted. They regarded the stage and looked at the teams of Man Junxi and the old man that were facing each other, seemingly creating sparks between them. However, for the head and the other observers, this was a good sign.

    They were not particrly bothered by the fact that both these teams had yet to solve the problem of making their gene reagents work for everyone. Presently, each research team only had a single beyond A ss assigned to them anyway. As such, it was understandable for their gene reagents to not work for everyone. When all the teams werebined and all the beyond-A-ss warriors were gathered together... this single problem would naturally be solved.

    This was also the reason they had decided that the moment the main direction was decided upon, all the research teams had to bebined together. After all, beyond-A-ss warriors were still too rare. To ensure that the new gene reagent would work for everyone, this was necessary. In any case, they had initially nned to only have one team toward the end. Now, it seemed like...

    They started discussing softly.

    "Perhaps, both these directions are worth pursuing."

    "Mhm, it wouldn¡¯t be too much of a problem if the beyond A ss warriors were divided into two groups and worked in shifts."

    "That¡¯s feasible."

    Happiness was clearly stered on their faces. On their trip here today, it could be said that their harvest had been ample thus far. If there were no mishaps, both these teams would probably be kept as main teams. As for the third team here today...

    They nced at the submission form. The form seemed to mention that their active duration was only one second?

    Initially, they had still been rather excited at the prospect of this, but now that there were two other teams that had even more stunning results here as aparison, the third team¡¯s duration of a single second truly appeared to be nothing special. This team had obviouslye here immediately after hitting the minimum requirements of the project. Compared with the first and second team, which had active durations of three seconds and five seconds, this third team was toocking.

    The head waved his hand calmly. "Third team, kindly demonstrate your result."

    At this moment, Man Junxi had finally calmed himself down. Earlier, he had managed to overhear some of the conversations of those big shots. He knew that his team was sure to be momentarily saved for now. At least, in the short term, thepetition would only be limited to him and the old man from the second team.

    All this while, Chen Feng had been calmly observing everything. Regardless of whether it was the reaction of the head of the department or the expressions of Man Junxi and the others, he observed them all. Finally, it was his team¡¯s turn to demonstrate.

    The person in charge of the BC team beside Chen Feng reminded him, "It¡¯s our turn,"

    Suddenly, Chen Feng stated, "You go."

    The person in charge nked. "Ah?" He had never expected that Chen Feng would yield such a moment of glory to him. Was it because Chen Feng had been overly shocked by the previous two demonstrations?

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "Put up a good show. Your exnation will be extremely important."

    "Mhm."

    The person in charge nodded resolutely. He knew that the only advantage their team had over the others was the fact that their gene reagent worked for everyone. However, whether this was a fact that the higher-ups would look highly upon remained to be seen. After all, what they had achieved might truly appear too simple in the eyes of others. The moment the main team was decided upon, all their efforts before this could very well go to waste. All their efforts and results would be nothing but a gift wrapped nicely for the main team.

    The final result would now depend on the exnation of this person. The only way they could attract the attention of the higher-ups was by stressing the importance of having the gene reagent work for everyone and by showing clearly the difficulty of achieving this result. Soon, the person in charge and Xu Fei arrived on the stage.

    As for the BC team members, they all walked up, started making their preparations, and started up their devices. Once again, the initial result and their expected result were transmitted to everyone there. The active duration of one second was in fact something most people there weren¡¯t bothered with. After all, the previous two teams had been too stunning. Comparatively, this duration of one second was way too nd, Disappointing, even.

    Right at this instant, Chen Feng¡¯s wristband buzzed. Qin Hai¡¯s investigation results had finally arrived.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "It¡¯s here?"

    Shua!

    A screen appeared. The data regarding Man Junxi appeared without stop. Man Junxi was the heir of a certain huge family. This was a rather influential family as well, a family who¡¯d once had a beyond-A-ss warrior in their ranks. The said beyond-A-ss warrior had ultimately died during a past war, but then, thanks to the glory of this ancestor of theirs, this family had always received great care from the Gic Union. Thanks to this, they had numerous A-ss warriors in the family and were also one of the important targets the ancient race had been paying attention to. This was the basic information pertaining to this family.

    Naturally, all this was not sufficient to attract the attention of the ancient race. The only reason the ancient race had taken note of them was the ancestral blood essence that this family¡¯s beyond-A-ss ancestor had left behind. Every single drop of this blood essence was filled with the power of beyond. That was what the ancient race cared about.

    The existence of this blood essence was something even the Gic Union was unaware of. However, the ancient race was extremely clear on this. The severalparatively powerful families of humanity had indeed struck fear in the hearts of the ancient race members.

    Chen Feng was amazed. "How did you guys find out about this?"

    "Do you think that the ancient race has been wasting time all these years?" Qin Haimented. The other main mission of the Mysterious Organization was gathering information.

 Chapter 508: The Theft of Results

    Chapter 508: The Theft of Results

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    All those assassinations, all that destruction, all these actions were the Mysterious Organization¡¯s disguise. The actual reason they had hidden themselves all these years was to gather information. They were presently well aware of which human families were the powerful ones. Despite the fact that none of their spies were those truly powerful humans, these spies had still managed to gather a huge amount of information.

    In fact, the ancient race had created a matrix to analyze the human families. Their strength, characteristics, loyalty, potential, and all other aspects, all these were studied. From these, the top 100 strongest human families were all listed in the ancient race¡¯s matrix. Evidently, Man Junxi¡¯s family was one of these 100 families. Their position was thanks to the drops of blood essence from their ancestor.

    Qin Hai shrugged as he exined, "The blood essence is something their ancestor left behind secretly to avoid being found out by the Gic Union. Otherwise, with how the Gic Union has always acted, these drops of blood essence might have ended up taken away by the Gic Union long ago."

    Chen Feng pondered. "That¡¯s truly possible." After all, even excavated treasures were something one was required to hand over to their home country. As such, with a simple excuse of "for the betterment of humanity," one would bepletely helpless against the demands of the Gic Union. Thus, their act of hiding the existence of the blood essence was understandable.

    If so...

    Chen Feng studied the inside scoop about Man Junxi he¡¯d received. Mhm... Man Junxi¡¯s team had simrly pursued a route of trying to trigger the power of beyond in a human¡¯s body. The only difference was that their attempts at triggering had been focused on the human body¡ªthe bloodline of humans, to be precise. Their aim was to trigger the appearance of the power of beyond through a blood mutation. If this direction was pursued with the assistance of the blood essence their ancestors had left behind...

    Finally, Chen Feng thoroughly understood. "So that¡¯s the case." He expressed his gratitude toward Qin Hai. "Thanks."

    "Not a problem." Qin Hai shook his head and was about to end the call when, suddenly, his gaze swept past the corner of the screen. "Yi? This guy looks familiar?"

    "Mhm?" Chen Feng followed Qin Hai¡¯s line of sight and noted that Qin Hai was talking about the old man¡¯s test subject.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. "Familiar?" What was Qin Hai¡¯s status nowadays? He was a beyond A ss! A superexpert of the ancient race! Would a person he felt familiar be an ordinary person?

    "Hold on." Qin Hai did a quick search. "So, it¡¯s him."

    Shua!

    The data was transmitted to Chen Feng. With a single look, Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed greatly. No wonder... Chen Feng was endlessly shocked. He looked at the data he had before looking at the test subject, and finally, he looked at the old man and said, "These lunatics!"

    They had gone crazy! The entire world had gone crazy! Chen Feng felt helpless. As he saw that the BC team¡¯s person in charge had finished the preparations and was about to begin the demonstration, Chen Feng inhaled deeply before taking a step onto the stage.

    "Before this, I have something to say." Chen Feng finished his words calmly as everyone present nked momentarily. The sole reason for this reaction was Chen Feng¡¯s identity. Despite the fact that everyone present was a big shot of the Gic Union, despite the fact that when it came to research, this head of the department here was already the top authority, when the person talking was Chen Feng, he had to listen. Why? Because this was Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng, the person who had yed the crucial role during the Star City battle, part of the Gene Production Association¡¯s management, and an excellent producer with astonishingly high abilities in gene production. Just by standing there calmly, without any excessive action, nobody dared to neglect this Chen Feng.

    "Please do say what¡¯s in your mind," the head of the department replied courteously.

    If in a moment of unhappiness, this Chen Feng fellow were to decide to stop cooperating with the Gic Union, all their projects would be foiled. It was said that that Hou Liang fellow was extremely close with this Chen Feng. The opinion of a single member of the Gene Production Association¡¯s management still wouldn¡¯t be much, but if two of them had an opinion, the entirety of the Gic Union would need to tread carefully.

    "Do you guys not have the slightest idea at how difficult thepletion of this Beyond X project is? Even if there was a miracle, what you are all seeing is not the type of miracle that would appear," Chen Feng stated faintly. "I hope that all of you will not be deceived by the so-called result you are all seeing presently, thus resulting in some idiotic decision. An idiotic decision such as pursuing Man Junxi¡¯s research direction as the main direction for this entire project."

    Shua!

    The moment he finished talking, everyone present was rmed. If what Chen Feng had said earlier was merely an opinion, these final words of his were akin to a bombardment.

    Man Junxi was furious. "What do you mean?!"

    "What do I mean?" Chen Feng looked at Man Junxi coldly. "What I¡¯m saying is the fact that your entire research was faked. From the expected result till the actual test result, everything was faked."

    Bang!

    Everyone erupted into an uproar. Fake? Even the head of the department¡¯s expression became solemn as he heard this. He believed that Chen Feng would most definitely not utter something like this without any reason.

    "What proof do you have?"

    "Proof..." Suddenly, Chen Feng lowered his voice. "An example would be the blood essence left behind by your ancestor."

    Shua!

    Instantly, Man Junxi¡¯s expression paled.

    "What nonsense are you uttering!?" Man Junxi shouted forcefully, "No such thing exists!"

    "Is there a need for this?" Chen Feng stated calmly. "The reason they failed to detect any problems is because they were not specifically looking for it. Believe me when I tell you that by using the data of your ancestor, something will most definitely be found when your result is retested. For example, a familiar gene characteristic? Despite the fact that during the era of your ancestor, gene development was rather primitive, something like a gene record still exists. As long as the data of your ancestor is used to conduct a new round of inspections on your research result, something will most definitely be found.

    "I heard that the identity verification system of your ancestral hall is set up using the blood essence of that ancestor of yours, right? This is to ensure that only his blood rtives can enter. Take a guess, if that data were taken and used topare with the data of your test subject, what will we find? Even now, you are still trying to deny this? Did you not say earlier that you have a sess rate of 100%? If so, why not conduct several more such tests in theing days, then? How many times can you continue conducting your tests? Can the blood essence your ancestor left behind be wasted in such a manner by you guys?"

    ng!

    Man Junxi slumped onto the ground. He knew that he was finished. At first, he had believed that Chen Feng had merely heard some rumors. s, since Chen Feng had even mentioned his ancestral hall and the way to verify it, what was the point in further arguments?

    Bang!

    Everyone erupted into an uproar. The others were all dumbstruck as they heard this. Evidently, none of them had expected that Chen Feng was actually telling the truth.

    "You..." The head of the department was able to guess the truth from the reactions of Man Junxi and Man Junxi¡¯s team. Chen Feng was indeed correct! This Man Junxi fellow that he had looked highly upon had actually tried to cheat his way through this! As he pondered it, if they had truly decided to set this team as the main team, how terrifying would the consequences have been? Since all his research results had been faked, this would cause the progress of their project to regress by several years. For the present humanity, this was absolutely fatal. When that happened, he, as the head of the department...

    Just thinking about the consequences sent a chill down the head¡¯s spine.

    The head¡¯s eyes became cold. "Why? Do you not know that this will destroy humanity¡¯s hope?"

    Man Junxi muttered, "This is our one and only chance... It has been way too long since our familyst rose to power. If we were able to grab this opportunity, we would most definitely have been able to rise to power once again. As for the so-called destruction of humanity, that is not going to happen. Haha. As long as we seed in taking the lead, having all the research teamsbined under our lead, the progress of their research will all be ours anyway. At that time, we can totally start researching from scratch following all of their progress. With that, history would still have recorded us as the benefactor of humanity!"

    Everyone sunk into silence. Despite the fact that what Man Junxi had said was indeed correct, their hearts still chilled. This guy... from the start, he had been nning to steal the results of others! Using such a method to fake an initial sess before stealing the results of others? How hateful!

    "Hahaha!"

    As the people there looked at the Man Junxi that wasughing wildly, they knew that this guy had probably been overprovoked and was now insane. Under such intense provocation, this guy that was still rather young hadn¡¯t been able to avoid going crazy.

    The head waved his hand coldly. "Drag him out."

    Several people stepped out and dragged Man Junxi away. As for holding him ountable, nobody mentioned it. After all, something like this was not something a nobody like Man Junxi could decide upon, as even their ancestral blood essence had been used. The Gic Union would most definitely deal with this.

    The head thank Chen Feng solemnly. "Many thanks." If it wasn¡¯t for Chen Feng, he would have been fooled. The other big shots present felt the same as well. Even now, there was still some lingering fear in their hearts.

    Chen Feng beamed. "No worries."

    "I never expected that he was actually a cheater," the old manmented. Clearly, this opponent of Man Junxi earlier had chosen toment the fate of Man Junxi. However, from his expression, a trace of hiddenughter could be seen. Rather thanmenting, he appeared to be taking joy in Man Junxi¡¯s cmity. Now that Man Junxi was finished, all the resources would belong to their team.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng looked at him. "What are youughing at?"

    "Ah?" The old man was dazed, as he had no idea why Chen Feng was suddenly targeting him. "I¡¯m notughing."

    Chen Feng looked at him faintly. "You wereughing secretly. I saw it. Are you thinking that since he¡¯s finished, all the resources will be yours?"

    "Chen Feng, don¡¯t push it with your bullying," the old man warned. What was going on? As the others saw this, they started exchanging nces with rather dumbstruck expressions on their faces. Evidently, they had yet to react to this sudden confrontation. Could it be that Chen Feng had some other proof? Could it be that this old man was suspected of cheating as well? They all pondered.

    Chen Feng smiled. "So what if I¡¯m bullying you? Would you believe that even if I killed you right here and right now, nobody would do anything to help you? Would you believe that even your family would keep their mouths shut?"

    The old man¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "You are courting death!" Having the qualification to stand here, he was obviously not an ordinary person.

    "I am not kidding." Chen Feng beamed. "I am Chen Feng! Part of the Gene Production Association¡¯s management! Mhm... as such, even if I killed you, so what? I have contributed greatly to humanity. Even if I were guilty of killing you, my contributions are so great that nobody would dare touch me anyway, especially when the one I killed is someone without any backer like you." Chen Feng sneered. "Since Man Junxi was caught cheating, his qualifications have been canceled. Now, for me, the only one blocking my path is you, old man. Therefore, if I directly killed you here, wouldn¡¯t the person who would be the main person in charge of the Beyond X project be me?" Chen Feng smiled faintly.

    The old man¡¯s expression changed greatly. "You dare?"

    Chen Feng sneered. "Why not?"

    Bang!

    Light started shining suddenly. Astonishingly, Chen Feng had made his move directly. Combat power far surpassing an ordinary B-ss warrior erupted. The moment Chen Feng made his move, he erupted with a super-powerful strength, with that old man as his target. Only now did the others react to this sudden change. The hell, this guy was really trying to kill the old man. He wasn¡¯t trying to present any proof or expose the old man. Rather, he was tantly trying to kill the old man.

    Just as what Chen Feng had mentioned earlier, he was indeed killing openly here. So what? What could anyone do about it?

    The expressions of the others changed greatly. "Chen Feng, hold your hand!"

    It was truly outside of everyone¡¯s expectation that Chen Feng would do this. As such, even experts like them were not able to react in time. Only a single A-ss warrior was able to react in the way of tossing out a single energy attack.

    Bang!

    The attack was blocked en route by a baldy.

    "He said that he wants to kill that old man," Xu Fei stated with a fierce expression. This fierce expression, whenbined with that bald head of his, gave him a rather fiend-like appearance. It¡¯s over! Everyone¡¯s heart chilled. With Chen Feng making his move suddenly, who could stop him? This instant, time seemed to freeze. Everyone watched on with wide eyes as Chen Feng leaped abruptly, light swirling all over him. A set of Energy Equipment coalesced immediately on his body as he erupted with a powerfulbat power before heading directly toward that old man.

    This power demonstrated by Chen Feng had astonishingly reached the very peak of B ss. Despite the fact that the old man was simrly a B ss, facing this sudden attack from Chen Feng, he couldn¡¯t react in time at all. After all, nobody had expected that Chen Feng would truly dare to attempt to kill someone here. In any case, even if he was able to react in time, he wasn¡¯t strong enough to actually block Chen Feng¡¯s attack. It was clear that there was a gap between his strength and Chen Feng¡¯s strength.

    Bang!

    The terrifying radiance surged in intensity. Everyone¡¯s heart chilled. However, when they looked at the stage, they all nked. Presently, in front of the old man, a person shrouded in gold energy was blocking Chen Feng¡¯s attack. This was precisely the test subject of this old man earlier. He had actually blocked Chen Feng¡¯s attack.

    Everyone was overjoyed. "Good!"

    Chen Feng snorted. "Hmph." Burst! Without hesitation, he punched out. With the full activation of his Energy Equipment, Chen Feng activated the strongestbat power he could activate normally, the peak of B ss. He started battling the test subject.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Light swirled around and exploded without end. They appeared evenly matched. At this time, finally, the experts of the Gic Union reacted and forced their battle to end.

    The head was furious. "Chen Feng, what are you doing?"

    Due to Chen Feng¡¯s past contributions, they had always been extremely courteous toward him. Unexpectedly, this guy had actually done such a thing in public. It was too excessive! He was acting too wantonly!

    Chen Feng beamed. "I¡¯m eliminating my opponents. Are my actions not clear enough?"

    "You..." The head was infuriated. This was too excessive! For others, even if they wanted to y any tricks, they would do so secretly. Who would act openly in such a manner? Where was his face as an excellent producer, doing something like this?

    The head inhaled as he asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

    Chen Feng shrugged. "Do I still need to say it? We will have to question our adorable test subject here. If I am correct, earlier, he was using the power of beyond B ss when battling me, right?"

    Shua!

    At this, everyone was rmed. Wasn¡¯t that right? As they thought about it, that guy had indeed erupted with the power of beyond B ss in order to save the old man earlier. Only that would have enabled him to block Chen Feng¡¯s surprise attack with a casual attack of his. Granted, he had concealed the beyond B ss power immediately after. However, that familiar aura was something impossible to mask. That was precisely the power of beyond B ss. Was this what Chen Feng had been aiming for all along?

    The head looked at the both of them. "You all..."

    The old man sneered. "Mhm, indeed, it¡¯s the power of beyond B ss. Our gene reagent does not only enable one to activate the power of beyond for several seconds at a time. Our gene reagent, with increased usage, is also capable of enabling one to gain more understanding of the power of beyond. The only reason this wasn¡¯t recorded was because we had yet to verify that that is indeed the case.

    "As he had already used our gene reagent during tests numerous times, he is already very well versed with the power of beyond. As such, he is able to asionally activate the power of beyond without the help of the gene reagent. He is not far away from fullyprehending the power of beyond B ss."

    So that was the case. Everyone was shaken as they heard this. If this was true, wasn¡¯t this exactly what they had been after when initiating this Beyond X project?

    "Can you truly activate the power of beyond asionally without the gene reagent?" the head asked expectantly.

    "Yes," he replied with his hoarse voice.

    Hum¡ª

    As a proof, he tried activating the power, and once again, a golden sh flickered out. Beyond B ss! Indeed! This was a true beyond B ss without the help of any gene reagents. Everyone was overjoyed as they saw this. The final goal of the Beyond X project was to enable humanity to grasp the power of beyond. Now, the first sess case was right before their eyes.

    The head was excited. "Good, very good." As he saw that Chen Feng was about to make another move, his eyes widened. "Chen Feng, don¡¯t act recklessly. From now onward, he is under the protection of the Gic Union. You are absolutely not allowed to harm him." As the first beyond B ss in existence, that person was indeed worthy of their protection. "Moreover, they aren¡¯t exactly without any backers as you imagined. For your own sake, do not act recklessly. Otherwise, you will bring harm to yourself," the head warned. Despite the fact that he feared Chen Feng¡¯s identity, he would not allow Chen Feng to act recklessly here.

    Chen Feng wasn¡¯t the least bothered. "What harm will this bring to me? Are you talking about the mysterious beyond-A-ss warrior that was helping their family?"

    The head gazed at Chen Feng inconceivably. "You are aware of that?" The hell, since he was aware that their family had been assisted by a beyond A ss, why had he still dared to act recklessly?

    "Of course I¡¯m aware of that." Chen Feng smiled yfully. "But then, that is merely a crippled beyond A ss. What is there to be afraid of? Have you not heard that a fallen phoenix is lower than even a chicken?"

    What?

    The head was rmed. "Something happened to that beyond A ss?"

    Every single beyond A ss in existence was akin to a precious treasure of humanity. Any mishap befalling any single beyond A ss was an affair capable of shaking the entirety of humanity.

    Chen Feng pointed behind him. "Of course. Since he has already transformed from beyond A ss to beyond B ss, isn¡¯t he crippled?"

    What? Everyone widened their eyes. Beyond A? The head waspletely dumbfounded. Everyone looked in the direction Chen Feng was pointing. There, the B-ss warrior that was also the test subject of the second team could be seen. Presently, his face was dreadfully ice cold. This person...had once been a beyond A ss?

 Chapter 510: Universality? Whatâ€™s That?

    Chapter 510: Universality? What¡¯s That?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng started stating his data. "Yuan Fang, a beyond-A-ss gic warrior. At a young age, his mother passed and his father abandoned him. His foster father took him in, and after growing up, he demonstrated astonishing potential. From then on, he became the mysterious expert of a certain family. Am I right?"

    Everyone present went into an uproar as they heard this. Everyone thought that this guy had to have gone crazy. When Chen Feng saw their expressions, he understood how they felt. That was because when he¡¯d seen the information provided by Qin Hai, his first thought had also been that this guy had gone crazy.

    It was no wonder that he was so well practiced with the power of beyond. That wasn¡¯t something he had obtained from countless tests. Rather, that was because he was already beyond A ss. That was why he was able to demonstrate the power of beyond in such a smooth manner, in such a wless manner. That was because he was already a beyond A ss.

    "What nonsense are you talking about?" the head asked while shuddering. Instinctively, he nced at said gic warrior, the test subject in question, and asked in a low voice, "He¡¯s not telling the truth, right? He¡¯s lying, right?"

    The gic warrior in question merely sighed as a response but did not say anything. His arrogance as a superexpert would not allow him to actually spout lies out of his mouth. This was the final dignity of his person. As the rest saw this, their hearts chilled as they reached the conclusion that this was indeed true. Crazy! The entire world had gone crazy!

    Despite the importance of this Beyond X project, despite the historic significance of this project, before the research on the power of beyond seeded, a beyond A ss was still the strongest humanity had to offer. Essentially, this project had only been created to create more beyond A sses, yet here, people were sacrificing beyond A sses to conduct their research? They had never expected that something like this would happen. But now...

    The head asked the same question everyone was wondering. "Why?"

    Suddenly, the old man shouted, "For humanity! Humanity is in a crisis. If we continue researching normally, we will require at least 10 years to seed. Humanity can¡¯t afford to wait this long. By sacrificing only a single beyond A ss, we will be able to figure out what, exactly, the power of beyond A ss entails¡ªwhat, exactly, the power of beyond B ss is. This is the first beyond B ss in existence. There is great significance in this research on him. He will lead humanity toward sess. I only require a short amount of time to break through in my research. I am capable of creating history. Humanity will obtain a brand new future! Soon... I only need a little bit more time and I will most definitely be sessful." The old man was shouting crazily.

    Chen Feng curled his lip. "What nonsense. Don¡¯t put thebel of humanity on your selfish desires. Hehe, obviously, you are doing this for the glory of having your name etched in the annals of history."

    "Even if that¡¯s true, so what? There is no conflict between this and the goal of humanity! When both goals wereid before me, I knew that this was something I had to do!" The old man appeared deranged. "Therefore, when he returned with injuries, I drugged him to reduce his power level without him realizing it. In 10 short days, his level dropped to beyond B ss. Haha..." The old manughed crazily.

    As for Yuan Fang, he merely shut his eyes painfully.

    He had initially believed that the battle that had given him his injuries was what had caused his strength to drop. But when his strength had continued dropping all the way to B ss, it had be clear who the one that had harmed him was. It was the very foster father that had raised him.

    Chen Feng sighed. "Indeed..." The only reason Qin Hai had felt that Yuan Fang was familiar was because when Qin Hai was leaving here after Chen Feng¡¯s test on him previously, he had stumbled upon Yuan Fang, who was on his way home. Next, a huge battle had erupted between them. Clearly, Yuan Fang had not been willing to let this "ancient n member" off. As such, the eruption of a huge battle had been inevitable. Qin Hai had already held back, yet Yuan Fang was, after all, not a weak person. It would not have been easy to escape from him. As such, ultimately, Yuan Fang had returned with injuries from the battle. When he¡¯d reached his foster father¡¯s ce, it had turned out that his foster father was a demon-like person after all...

    His foster father was also a mad researcher. At that moment, the senses of the injured Yuan Fang had dropped drastically. Taking advantage of that, what everyone saw had happened. Chen Feng had, like a little butterfly waving its wings, created a butterfly effect from inviting Qin Hai over that ultimately resulted in this happening to Yuan Fang, a beyond-A-ss warrior.

    Chen Feng recalled that when that had happened, his excess luck value was still being urged to do anything to ensure the sess of this project? In short, his luck value had caused this, resulting in the creation of this perfect test subject, despite the extreme tendencies of that old man? No, all this must be a coincidence, Chen Feng convinced himself. What could one do when such a foster father existed?

    "Take him," the head stated angrily.

    "No, don¡¯t take me," the old main stated in a flustered manner. He shouted frantically, "I never intended to harm Fang Er. He has only dropped to B ss temporarily. As long as my research ispleted, I will most definitely think of a way to recover his strength. I¡¯m telling the truth. Fang Er, trust me. I will most definitely figure out a way to recover your strength."

    To ensure the uracy of his research, the gene reagent he¡¯d fed Yuan Fang to drop his strength had a permanent effect. That had been the only way to ensure that he could research the power of beyond B ss. Otherwise, if the B-ss power drop had only been a temporary effect while Yuan Feng was injured, with him still being a beyond A ss, would there have been a point in using him as the test subject?

    Everyone sighed. Was there a need for this? They looked at Yuan Fang and felt sad for him. This was a beyond-A-ss warrior who had battled for humanity in the past. Now, due to such a matter, he had been plotted against by his own foster father. This was truly...

    They all sighed and stared ahead, losing hope on his behalf. As a person abandoned by his biological father, he had cherished his rtionship with his foster father more. As such, so long as it concerned the family of his foster father, he had provided any help he could. To help his foster father, he had strived to be stronger without stop. This firm belief was the very thing that had enabled him to ultimately be a beyond A ss. s, he had never expected that even after bing an all-powerful beyond A ss, his foster father had ultimately still abandoned him. Once again, he had been abandoned!

    The atmosphere became dreadfully stifling. Everyone had a gloomy expression on their face. From great happiness to great sadness. Earlier, they had still believed that a beautiful future for humanity was within grasp, yet now, this seemed like it had been an illusion all along, an illusion that had been broken so very easily. Howmentable, how sad. And now, a problem faced them: what to do with Yuan Fang?

    Despite the fact that Yuan Fang as a person still had huge research value, with his status as a person who had once been a hero of humanity, who would actually dare take him as a test subject? People would be worried that this would result in all the other beyond-A-ss warriors going on strike. At this moment, Yuan Fang stood and walked to a corner silently before sitting down, no longer raising his head. Everyone exchanged nces and did not dare disturb him.

    "Start the third demonstration, then," the head muttered. Only now did everyone remember that there was still a third submission today. Once again, they prepared for the demonstration. As they took a look, they noted that the test subject this time was precisely the baldy who had blocked an A-ss attack earlier.

    Hold on... If this fellow was capable of blocking an A-ss attack, was he really a B ss? The head started doubting. This wouldn¡¯t be another fraud, right? He had obviously been shocked crazy today. Instinctively, he looked at Chen Feng. If this was a fraud as well, there was no point in continuing this demonstration.

    "Please check the fifth row on the first page of the submission form," Chen Feng stated dryly. The head and the others exchanged nces before looking over. Instantly, their eyes shone. That was because on that row, it was written that the main person in charge of this team was Chen Feng, and his research contribution was 80%.

    Their eyes shone. "This is actually something researched by Chen Feng himself?" Despite Chen Feng¡¯s tendencies to act in an unbridled manner, none here dared to look down on his production skills. After all, he was an excellent producer from the Gene Production Association.

    The preparations werepleted. "Begin."

    The demonstration was, in fact, a rather simple process. Xu Fei merely swallowed down the gene reagent before transforming into a super saiyan. Active duration: one second.

    "One second?"

    The head was dazed momentarily before recalling how the three seconds and five seconds earlier had both been fraudulent. This one second they were seeing was instead the real deal. There was no excitement or any other emotions. Everyone merely looked at the data in silence.

    After the great fluctuation in their mood earlier, now, they truly couldn¡¯t feel any excitement anymore. Or perhaps, their feelings were already numbed by now.

    Mhm, it was confirmed that the active duration was one second.

    Mhm, it was confirmed that the condition of the test subject remained well.

    Mhm, it was confirmed that the power of beyond was triggered.

    Mhm...

    Everyone confirmed all the recorded data silently in an iparably solemn manner. Next, with astonishment, they found out that almost everything recorded in the submission form was correct¡ªwless, even. This seemed somewhat simr to Yuan Fang¡¯s fake record previously, but with a shorter active duration.

    The head looked at Xu Fei in a somewhat worried manner. "This..." This fellow obviously possessed extraordinary strength. Moreover, he appeared so very ferocious. He wouldn¡¯t be yet another exploited person like Yuan Fang, right? Right at this instant, Chen Feng walked forth and stood silently in front of the data monitoring devices. Next, he took out a gold-colored gene reagent.

    Everyone nked. "What are you doing?"

    Gulp!

    He swallowed the gene reagent down.

    Bang!

    A gold radiance erupted. The power of beyond erupted, and instantly, the data on the screen went off the charts. Everyone widened their eyes.

    Hold on... Only now did they notice an extremely frightening matter. "Your gene reagent, it works on everyone?"

 Chapter 511: Zhang Dapaoâ€™s Plan

    Chapter 511: Zhang Dapao¡¯s n

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Gic Union.

    At a certain unremarkable corner, warehouse manager Zhang Dapao was aimlessly strolling through the virtualmunity. This uneventful upation of his had truly granted him quite a lot of free time. His main job involved looking after the records of the transfer of goods. Regardless of who it was, so long as the person had the authority to move the goods, they could take said goods. Zhang Dapao himself had no authority whatsoever. To be precise, this warehouse manager was no different than a security guard.

    "Who cares? After finishing work, I can go back to apany Yue Er."

    Whenever he recalled the gentle whispers of Lady Yue Er, his heart burned hotly. Right at this instant, when his casual gazended on a certain shop, he nked at what he saw.

    This...

    Zhang Dapao¡¯s eyes widened.

    ----

    Purchasing sighing grass in bulk, paying 999 yuan for each.

    A certain advanced producer requires a huge amount of sighing grass as part of their preparation to break through into master producer. There is no upper limit on the amount purchased. Offer only valid today.

    ----

    Zhang Dapao was rmed when he saw this. He was aware of what sighing grass was. This was a rather rare medicinal herb. Due to the harsh requirements for the growth of this herb, the requirements for an environment capable of growing this herb were rather high. As such, the harvest of this herb had always been rather low in amount. Simrly, the demand for this herb was very low as well. Despite the low harvest, it still exceeded the demand. As such, this herb was ordinarily very cheap, priced at around 99 yuan. This time, the price had nearly increased by around 10 times.

    Zhang Dapao sighed endlessly. "Breaking through into master producer, huh?"

    Every single time some big-shot producer tried to break through into master producer, it resulted in the price of some random materials skyrocketing. This was an extremely normal urrence. If one was lucky enough to have a huge amount of the required material on hand, that person would profit greatly. If one had sold all of the required material just before this happened, then that person could only hide in some corner and cry.

    Shua!

    Zhang Dapao entered the discussion forums and noted that a lot of people were talking about this.

    "Damn it, just yesterday I sold 100 of them."

    "Ah ah ah ah, do you know that I sold 1,000 of them just yesterday? I even waited for an entire year only for the price to remain the same, so I was forced to sell them cheaply. Unexpectedly..."

    "Same here."

    Countless people were howling in grief. Everyone was aware that this high price would not remain long. The moment the producer broke through sessfully or failed in their breakthrough, the price of sighing grass would readjust to its normal price. These people that were missing out on this were obviously suffering greatly.

    "This type of investment is truly too difficult."

    "Sigh."

    Countless people sighed. As for those who actually had some sighing grass in their possession, they were now happily making profits in silence.

    "Yet another chance to be rich," Zhang Dapaomented in envy. Whenever something like this happened, it never had any effect on him. He still remembered that, previously, an ex-ssmate of his, one who had failed to even graduate from junior high school, had also earned a huge profit due to a simr event. Presently, that ssmate was already a wealthy person with around six or seven wives. As for Zhang Dapao... he was still a virgin.

    Zhang Dapao sighed. "Why is it that something this good never happens to me?"

    Just as he was about to turn around and leave, his heart jolted. Hold on, he seemed to remember that there was a huge amount of sighing grass in the warehouse of the Gic Union. Indeed, that had to be the case! Zhang Dapao opened his management window hastily.

    Shua!

    A screen popped out and a row of data appeared. Indeed. Zhang Dapao¡¯s eyes shone. Sighing grass! A huge amount of it! The warehouse of the Gic Union was so huge nobody could begin to imagine its size. This was a ce shrouded by a unique ability, capable of perfectly preserving all the goods stored here.

    This was a ce that contained nearly all existing materials in this world. Some were valuable and could only be withdrawn by those with unique authority. Some weremon materials that were withdrawn by quite a huge number of people on a daily basis. These materials were things Zhang Dapao had never dared to touch, but sighing grass was a material that was normally ignored by others.

    Shua!

    He checked the data.

    Mhm...

    The demand for sighing grass was rather low. Every month, there were one or two people who actually used it. Furthermore, rarely were there repeat withdrawers. As such, the section storing this herb was always fully stocked, with the amount reaching a hundred thousand.

    Zhang Dapao felt his lips turn dry. "A hundred thousand!" A single one of this herb was priced at around 1,000 yuan. With 100,000 of them, the price would be 100 million! This was an extremely huge amount of money! He would be able to sell them for such a price! Naturally, he did not have sufficient authority to freely withdraw materials from the Gic Union¡¯s warehouse. However, he could abuse the authority he had to purchase them at a low price. Despite the fact that their warehouse was checked daily, the price of purchases was normally neglected.

    Zhang Dapao checked the price set by the Gic Union. Fifty yuan for each of them. This was only half the current market price. This was a benefit the Gic Union orded their members. Fifty yuan... 100,000 herbs...

    To buy all of them, he would require 50,000,000 yuan. Zhang Dapao definitely did not have that much cash on hand. However, he still decided to first purchase some of them and then continuing to buy more with the earned profit. He did not even need to clear the warehouse. He only needed to leave a small amount in it. That would do. As for the amount he cleared from the warehouse, he could slowly purchase from the market to replenish the warehouse after that producer finished his breakthrough and the price returned to normal.

    Zhang Dapao was overjoyed at this idea of his. He knew that this was a fortuitous encounter for him. He could already picture the scene of numerous wives beckoning him. With enough effort, a water hose could be transformed into a cannon! With a gamble, even a bicycle could be transformed into an aircraft carrier!

    "I can do it."

    Zhang Dapao started calmly reflecting on his idea. Granted, thest time he had ever racked his brain this seriously was when he had been expelled after being caught peeping at his teacher bathing. He believed that this was an opportunity he could make use of. For himself and for Lady Yue Er!

    "Let¡¯s do it, then!"

    He started his n. Soon, a huge amount of sighing grass entered the market. rming everyone, nearly all the sighing grasses was purchased immediately afterward. Despite this, the price still remained at 999 yuan. Zhang Dapao stared at the first pile of cash he¡¯d made and was now going crazy. This was the first time he had seen so much money before him, yet this pile of money had been made so very easily! It was even risk free!

    "Buy, buy, buy!"

    Zhang Dapao continued his n crazily. In the virtualmunity, some suspected that there were some tricks to this somewhere. After all, the demand for this sighing grass was seriously too huge this time.

    "Will there be any problems?"

    "What problem could there be?"

    "Look, firstly, this morning, all the sighing grass that entered into the market was cleared almost instantly. Despite the fact that those big businesses normally have some in store, if the avable stock worldwide were purchased instantly, it would still be an extremely astonishing amount. Moreover, whenever something like this happened in the past, the price only doubled, but this time, the price was astonishingly ten times the original. Moreover, there is no purchase limit. And earlier, several huge batches of sighing grass were dumped into the market, yet they were still instantly purchased. This seems rather scary."

    "You are saying that there might be a trick somewhere?"

    "This feels like the stock market, or perhaps this is some new scam. But then, I still can¡¯t see through it yet. In any case, stay prudent."

    "True."

    Countless people were discussing this. The impact of sighing grass was increasing without stop. It was as the onlinemunities had concluded. Normally, when someone tried breaking through into master producer, it would only cause the price to double. This time, it had increased by 10 times, with no upper limit to the amount purchased.

    A lot of people decided to apply a wait and see attitude for fear of this being a scam. s, there were still countless people getting involved in this business of selling sighing grass. These people had decided to not care whether this was a scam or not. With an increase of 10 times the original price, what was important was to first get the cash into their own hands. A lot of people even visited the sighing grass farms to purchase them in bulk. Some people did things such as purchasing the herbs at double the original price from those who had yet to realize what was happening, and so on.

    Something like this was supposed to be something people needed to be careful with, but right now, the Gic Union was still busy producing the new gene reagent for their Beyond X project and did not have time to spare to deal with this. As such, the market was allowed to develop naturally and without any control...

    Chapter 512: Naming and Such

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At this time, at the Gic Union, Chen Feng had just swallowed the gene reagent. Everyone had an unbelieving gaze as they looked at the power of beyond in Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    This is... beyond? This gene reagent can be used by everyone? This is too unbelievable!

    The reason they found this unbelievable was because, to create a gene reagent usable by everyone, it was obvious that a huge amount of beyond B sses and beyond A sses were required as test subjects. Only with this would this be researched sessfully after an unknown amount of time. And now...

    "Bang!"

    Everyone stood up.

    "Do you have any other B sses here?" Chen Feng took out more gene reagents. "They cane here and try this gene reagent as well. Have a feel themselves at the power of beyond."

    A B-ss employee walked forth in excitement. "Let me try it."

    Bang!

    Gold radiance surged around him. Beyond B ss! Indeed, it was beyond B ss. Everyone was in an uproar. Everyone was going insane as they saw this. Only at this moment did they realize what sort of terrifying thing Chen Feng had created from his research. Despite the short active duration of one second, this gene reagent was nearly wless. No overexertion or assistance of any sort was required to use his gene reagent. For this project, Chen Feng¡¯s results were already the best. As long as the correct form was in hand, they could immediately start mass production. This was the scariest aspect of Chen Feng¡¯s research result.

    Doubts? How could one doubt this? Chen Feng had directly taken out more than 10 gold-colored gene reagents. Anyone with doubts could try the gene reagent themselves. The doubters could feel how real the power of beyond was by themselves after using the gene reagent. Their monitoring devices were fully activated, and all the harvested data indicated nothing but perfection.

    A number of gic warriors with different gic abilities tried his gene reagents. Even those C-ss and D-ss warriors tried the provided gene reagent and verified that they were in perfect condition. The only w was the somewhat-higher exhaustion of energy, but then, this could also be considered as a merit. After all, only an intense eruption of power would result in higher rate of exhaustion.

    Ultimately, with trembling hands, the employee recorded down these words: Universality ¨C Perfect.

    Doubts? There were no longer any doubts. Chen Feng had directly provided more than 10 gene reagents for them to try as they wished. This waspletely different from the Man Junxi earlier who had yed all sorts of tricks. One could perhaps cheat when the test was conducted on one¡¯s own body, but could this apply to the bodies of others? Nope, it couldn¡¯t. Shortly after, this new gene reagent received full approval.

    After being verified by the higher-ups of Gic Union and Gene Production Association, they confirmed that this gene reagent would bring no harm to one¡¯s body. The Beyond X project was thuspleted perfectly.

    Bang!

    The entire Gic Union was in an uproar. Everyone that knew what was happening was iparably shocked. They had indeed been hoping that this project would bepleted sooner rather thanter; however, they had never imagined that Chen Feng would use only one month toplete this astonishing aplishment. Moreover, the very first submission of his was already apleted product. Chen Feng...

    Today, countless people muttered this name. Although a lot of people knew about the Star City battle some time ago, it still hadn¡¯t left too deep an impression on their minds. Now, though, they finally gained a clear understanding of this Chen Feng. Other aspects notwithstanding, when it came to production, this guy¡¯s skills were definitely top-notch, and nobody was capable of contending against him.

    "He has reached such a height?"

    Countless gene producers were in a daze. Even now, the memory of when Chen Feng had first arrived at Star City back then was still vivid in their minds. How long had it been since then? The act of gene production seemed as easy as drinking water for Chen Feng.

    With the earlypletion of this Beyond X project, the Gic Union acted decisively and appointed Chen Feng as the general manager of this project. He was in charge of the follow-up projects, improving the gene reagent, and theunch of subsequent projects. Everyone would now have to listen to Chen Feng¡¯smands.

    Naturally, after the Gic Union¡¯s research, the exact effect of this new gene reagent waspletely dug out. Although Chen Feng had created this new gene reagent, when ites to pure research on a specific gene reagent, he was still somewhatckingpared to the experienced researchers.

    ----

    Gene reagent name: temporarily unnamed.

    Function: Triggers the power of beyond.

    Active duration: One second.

    Main effect 1: Triggers the power of beyond, pushing the user into a beyond X state and increasing the user¡¯s power greatly.

    Main effect 2: Enables a regr gic warrior to start contemting the power of beyond in advance. Every single usage of this gene reagent can potentially increase the user¡¯s understanding of the power of beyond.

    ----

    The gain ofprehension on the power of beyond was an unexpected harvest for Chen Feng. As the very first edition, Chen Feng had had rather low expectation for this gene reagent. Unexpectedly, a form created with the assistance of Luck Aura was actually so powerful. This was truly a perfect gene reagent. From here on, they would mostly aim at increasing the active duration, increasing how muchprehension the user gained, and so on.

    It was clear that one second was not the limit. So far, Chen Feng had merelybined the power of energy and the physical body. If other aspects, such as blood and other different powers, were added to the equation as well, something entirely different might be created as well.

    Naturally, Chen Feng did not intend to get involved in such research personally. What joke was that? Merelybining the research results of physical body and energy had exhausted all the luck value he had saved over a month. If he had tobine the result with even more research results, he would probably not have any leftover luck value for an entire year. For him, the most important thing was this effect of allowing the user to gainprehension on the power of beyond. Next to this, nothing else seemed as important.

    Soon, Chen Feng came up with a decision. "I can just let the BC team deal with it."

    He had decided to use the BC team as the core team members. The other teams would assist in their research. With this, the follow-up ns for this new gene reagent would be implemented, aiming for the creation of an even better gene reagent. Beyond Chen Feng¡¯s expectations, after figuring out all the functions of this new gene reagent, an argument broke out, as those fellows were trying to name this new gene reagent.

    "I think calling it Chen Feng reagent is very good."

    "No, that¡¯s too blunt. How about calling it the Feng tip reagent."

    "How about Mount Feng reagent?"

    "No, this name is already taken by a breast ergement reagent."

    "..."

    "How about we change it around, Feng Chen reagent?"

    "Why not call it wind dust, then? You must have gone to those ces way too much." [1] 1

    "You are the one who has been to those ces way too much."

    "Even if that¡¯s true, so what?"

    "..."

    They nearly started fighting then and there. As Chen Feng heard their arguments, he did not know whether tough or cry. To show their respect for him, the name had to be rted to Chen Feng in some form? The mere thought of this caused Chen Feng¡¯s head to ache. Chen Feng started imagining the scene where two people battled each other before suddenly shouting, "Look at my Chen Feng gene reagent!"

    Based on Chen Feng¡¯s estimations, this gene reagent would most probably end up as a gene reagent that was mass distributed. Would his portrait and name be printed everywhere then? No, he was not The Godmother![2] 2 No! Chen Feng vetoed their proposals decisively.

    As he looked at the project name, in a firm manner, he decided on "Beyond X" as the name for this gene reagent. Despite the fact that this X had merely signified the unknown at the start of this project, Chen Feng quite liked it. In any case, this was better than allowing these people to keep messing around anding up with weird names.

    Ultimately, it was decided that this gene reagent would be named Beyond X gene reagent, with Chen Feng credited as the inventor. Next, they would have to decide on the copyright of the form. Despite the fact that this was something researched by Chen Feng, Chen Feng had to take into consideration the participation of the BC team, the huge amount of resources invested by the Gic Union, and the fact that this form was simply too valuable, so valuable that one couldn¡¯t begin to price it. After all, possessing this copyright would be equivalent to possessing the greatest wealth of humanity. This single fact alone was sufficient to cause people to go crazy over it.

    All the higher-ups of the Gic Union, Gene Production Association, and Research Agency, in addition to countless other people, were focusing on this, focusing on the piece of incredibly delicious cake in Chen Feng¡¯s hands.

 Chapter 513: You Must Be Kidding Me

    Chapter 513: You Must Be Kidding Me

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "You guys are fighting with us over this?"

    "This is originally something belonging to us, the Gene Production Association."

    "What nonsense. This is something produced here at our Gic Union. Don¡¯t forget the fact that you guys are only temporarily staying here. Even your migration from Star City was with our help."

    "Hehe, since you dared to say those words, would you believe me if I said that even if you guys obtained the form, you guys would not be able to produce a single one of the new gene reagents?"

    "..."

    At this, the person from the Gic Union sank into silence, realizing that he had been too excessive in his words. As both their organizations were reliant on each other, if the Gic Union truly wanted to bully others with force, the Gene Production Association would most certainly be capable of teaching them a hard lesson. Wanting to produce gene reagents without the Gene Production Association¡¯s support? That was naive.

    The Gic Union people decided to change the topic. "Let¡¯s not talk about this for now. The copyright should belong to us, as all the materials used during the research were supplied by us."

    "Hehe." The people from the Gene Production Association merely sneered at this. Due to this, the two parties were in conflict.

    The people from the Research Agency wanted to get involved but noted that they couldn¡¯t find any justifiable arguments to dere that the copyright should belong to them. Realizing that, they dered, "A form like this should belong to the entirety of humanity!" The people from the Research Agency spoke earnestly. "Regardless of which party it is that obtains the copyright for this, it will be unfair to humanity. Therefore, I propose that the copyright for this form should belong to everyone."

    "Scram!" the Gene Production Association berated without politeness. The Research Agency was merely trying to get a piece of the cake for themselves as well. Now, the conflict between two parties expanded into a conflict between three parties.

    None of them were willing to give up on the form. The Gic Union was rationalizing that this form had been created using their materials. After all, it wasmon sense that the produced item should belong to those who had provided the materials. It was undisputed that all the materials here had been provided by the Gic Union. That was the reason the Gic Union felt it reasonable and fair to fight over this form despite the fact that they had never dabbled in gene production.

    The Gene Production Association rationalized that this was a form created by Chen Feng. The Gene Production Association was willing to pay for whatever materials Chen Feng had used in the course of his research. After all, Chen Feng was part of the Gene Production Association¡¯s management. Despite the fact that his authority was still limited, he was still considered part of the Association. As such, why should the Gic Union be the one to obtain this form? This seemed to be a rather justifiable argument as well.

    As for the Research Agency... Mhm...

    They had also participated in the project this time, but they were aware of how low their skill level was. As such, without any hesitation, they dragged all other powers together and proposed that this form should belong to humanity. By banding together with various other powers, they were capable of temporarily resisting the Gic Union and Gene Production Association. Due to this, the three parties had been arguing for hours yet had failed to reach a conclusion.

    "This is meaningless."

    "Why not ask Chen Feng?" the Gene Production Association suggested.

    "Let¡¯s listen to what he has to say then."

    The Gic Union did notment much on it. If Chen Feng was allowed to decide, the copyright would most certainlynd in the hands of the Gene Production Association. Since they were the supplier for all the materials used, they would most certainly not give up on the copyright. Based on thews, even if Chen Feng insisted on taking the copyright away, the most he could own was 50% of the copyright. This was fixed in thews. If that person disagreed, he would lose even the publishing rights.

    "This form will most certainly be ours," the Gic Union vowed solemnly. The Research Agency was also preparing for another round of fighting. s, surprising all of them, just as they were still arguing over the copyright, Chen Feng submitted an application for the copyright of the form. After automatic vetting by the system, the submission was actually approved.

    Beyond X gene reagent copyright owner: Chen Feng.

    What?

    The Gic Union was bursting with rage. How dare Chen Feng ignore the copyrightws like this? They had invested materials worth several hundred million to establish several dozen teams, which had ultimately led to the creation of this form. Why was it that they didn¡¯t obtain even a tiny bit of ownership over this new form? This was too excessive.

    They were aware of Chen Feng¡¯s huge contribution and they found that respectable as well. However, even if they couldn¡¯t obtain full ownership over the copyright, they should have obtained at least 50% ownership over the copyright, no? With that, they would be able to profit from it. As they thought of the profit they stood to gain from this, the Gic Union became furious.

    As for the Gene Production Association and the research agency, they were stupefied for quite a while as well. It was beyond their expectations that this Chen Feng was actually so ferocious as to directly grab the copyright for himself.

    "We are calling for an arbitration!"

    "Let¡¯s get the Copyright Department involved in this."

    "Chen Feng is being too excessive this time."

    Some of the higher-ups in the Gic Union were incredibly dissatisfied with this. Yes, Chen Feng had indeed contributed greatly by creating this form, but could the contributions of the Gic Union, who had supplied all the materials, be ignored? Moreover, the participation of those beyond A sses had to be taken into consideration as well. Each of them was equivalent to an extremely terrifying resource.

    For this matter, they had maintained their respect for Chen Feng, yet Chen Feng did not seem to have any sort of sincerity when dealing with them and had taken the entire form for himself!

    "Is he thinking that he is the greatest of all?"

    "The Gic Union was established through numerous battles. All the A sses and beyond A sses here were those who contributed greatly to humanity! A lot of them sacrificed even their lives for humanity! This is not a matter of politics. Rather, we must fight for what is rightfully ours! This form must be ours!"

    The Copyright Department of the Gic Union started making their moves speedily. s, when the people from the Copyright Department went over, they failed to even meet Chen Feng and were directly given a receipt that listed numerous items and concluded with a sum of money at the bottom.

    "What is this?"

    They studied it and noted that these were precisely the expenses of Chen Feng¡¯s group when they had been researching this project.

    "Why has he issued this thing to us?"

    "Is he thinking that by paying us the cost of the materials, all will be fine?"

    "How ridiculous!"

    The people from the Copyright Department were just about to berate Chen Feng¡¯s thinking before an assistant pointed out the "time of repayment" listed on the receipt. It turned out that Chen Feng had paid them this sum of money before the tests had even started.

    "This is..."

    Their eyes widened abruptly. Could it be...

    They immediately checked thetest records of Chen Feng¡¯s item retrieval application form. Their faces paled at what they saw.

    The reason for this? From the start, Chen Feng had never used a single material provided by the Gic Union. Everything listed on the receipt had been purchased by Chen Feng at market price. With Chen Feng¡¯s identity, even if he wasn¡¯t participating in the project, he would still have the rights to purchase these materials.

    The people from the Copyright Department were dumbfounded. "He has been using his own money all along?" This... If he had been funding his research with his own money...

    "That doesn¡¯t matter. The equipment he used was supplied by us, right? Don¡¯t forget that our equipment is the most advanced on the market..."

    At this, they continued reading and noticed a long rental contract. On the contract, it was written that Chen Feng had rented the listed equipments for a period of two months, and the amount paid was listed clearly as well.

    Shua!

    Instantly, they all sank into silence. Rental? Why was there even such thing?

    "Oh. This seems to be because Chen Feng¡¯s was thest team and was organized at thest minute. At that time, all our supplied equipment had already been distributed to the other teams. As such, Chen Feng had no choice but to rent more equipments for his own usage..."

    As they thought about it, they seemed to recall that when that happened, they had even held a celebration to celebrate this huge amount of money they had earned from Chen Feng by merely renting some equipment to him.

    "Well, at the very least, he used our beyond-A-ss warriors, right?" someone said suddenly.

    He hadn¡¯t used their materials or equipment, but their manpower had been used by him, right? Next, they started checking the records for Chen Feng¡¯s manpower application form. Indeed, he had applied for a beyond-A-ss warrior to help in his research. s, the application had all been rejected. This...

    "Therefore, officially, Chen Feng hasn¡¯t used anything provided by the Gic Union at all?"

    They did not dare to believe this. Was this a joke?

    "That¡¯s right," one of them answered with a sigh. Renting and paying by himself, Chen Feng seemed like he had already known of his sess in advance and had prepared everything, to the point the others couldn¡¯t find any valid justification to grab ownership of the copyright. How could theypete against him, then? They no longer had any excuses to do so... They all sighed.

    "What should we do now, then?"

    "It is no longer possible to fight for ownership now. The only thing we can do is to try to prevent this copyright from being a private possession. Although everyone respects him, such a form should not be allowed to be privately owned."

    "Ultimately, Chen Feng is still the creator of this form. We shall allow him to keep 49% of the ownership, with the profits divided ordingly to him as well. However, the copyright should belong to the entirety of humanity instead."

    This was the result of their discussion. Since Chen Feng¡¯s status was too great, nobody wanted to snatch the entire ownership from him. They were hoping that through this method, the ownership could be nationalized. The right to 49% of the profits was the highest honor they could grant Chen Feng for his contribution.

    s, before they could even do anything about him, a public announcement was released by Chen Feng. He insisted that in the spirit of contributing toward humanity as a whole, he rejected the notion of him owning this form privately. Rather, he decided to donate this form to the Gene Production Association so it could be one of their core forms.

    Countless people eximed in admiration.

    "Worthy of being an excellent producer indeed!"

    "His generosity is unmatched."

    "I hereby apologize to Chen Feng for the misunderstandings I had about him in the past."

    "This form he has donated is something akin to a priceless treasure."

    Once again, Chen Feng¡¯s reputation skyrocketed.

    ??

    The Gic Union was dumbfounded. What in the world? He directly donated it to the Gene Production Association?

    The higher-ups of the Gene Production Association were nearly overjoyed to death when they saw this news. If the ownership were kept in Chen Feng¡¯s hands, it might be somewhat problematic to keep, but the moment the ownershipnded in their hands, the Gic Union would no longer be able to take it away from them.

    "Haha. Seems like we won."

    The members of the Gene Production Association were iparably pleased. As for the people from the Gic Union and the Research Agency, they all had expressions of disgust on their faces. They truly couldn¡¯t understand how Chen Feng¡¯s brain worked. They would still have allowed Chen Feng to keep 49% of the ownership. Why in the world had he decided to give it all to the Gene Production Association?

    Did he truly not want to profit even a tiny bit from it? Was he truly so selfless? They truly couldn¡¯t understand it. Unknown to them, at this time, Old Man Hou Liang was staring at the higher-ups of the Gene Production Association with an expression of disgust as well. That was because, once again, Chen Feng had made a huge contribution to the Association. This,bined with his contribution during the Star City battle, meant the Association no longer had anything they could reward him with. The only thing they could do was increase his contribution points without stop. Toward the end, with astonishment, they noted that Chen Feng¡¯s contribution points were now off the charts.

    Among the management, thanks to his contribution points, Chen Feng¡¯s authority directly increased to the point that his authority surpassed everyone, including the president! Based on the structure of the Gene Production Association, those with higher authority were the ones who controlled those with lower authority. Now, this signified that even the president no longer had any authority over Chen Feng.

    Even if Chen Feng was still a low-profile excellent producer, even if Chen Feng was still keeping to himself, the contributions he had made had already surpassed everyone in the Association, transforming him into an extremely unique existence among the management of the Association. This was an existence unsurpassed and unmanageable. Even the president could no longermand Chen Feng.

    Donating it to the Association? Contributing to humanity selflessly? What bullshit! Who was he trying to lie to? It was no wonder that this fellow had acted so decisively when donating the form to the Association. Thanks to him contributing this form, he had been catapulted into a position of supreme power second to none in the Association. As for the authority over this form in the Association...

    Hou Liang turned on the screen.

    This form that officially belonged to the Gene Production Association, in their system, could only be controlled by those with authority reaching 98 points, yet presently, even their president only had an authority of 95 points. The only person possessing the required authority to actually control this form was Chen Feng.

    Hou Liang sighed. "How shameless." He looked at the masses that were raining praise upon Chen Feng and felt extremely helpless. He couldn¡¯t actually go out and tell them that Chen Feng was, in fact, the supreme leader of the Gene Production Association now, right? Unless Chen Feng told the public himself, nobody in the Association would dare make this announcement.

    Ding¡ª

    Suddenly, his wristband buzzed. Hou Liang nced at it. His authority had increased by six points. Mhm, from 80 points to 86 points. As for his official position, he had been elevated from acting deputy president to deputy president.

    Hou Liang smiled bitterly. "This kid..." This was truly something nobody had expected. That was because, under normal circumstances, nobody could ever achieve such a high level of contribution in the Association. The Star City battle could not be considered too excellent a contribution as far as the Gic Union was considered.

    However, for the Gene Production Association, the contributions in regards to the Star City battle were extremely important. After all, that was the base of the Gene Production Association. From the initial migration to the final ambush, Chen Feng¡¯s n had yed an extremely important role. If it was only this much, it wouldn¡¯t have been too excessive. However, during that battle, the appearance of Chen Feng, Xu Fei, Kong Bai, and Wang Yao were the main factors that affected the result of the entire battle. And all these people had only appeared thanks to Chen Feng.

    As such, Chen Feng had indeed made an astonishing level of contribution toward the Association, and now, with this Beyond X project, Chen Feng¡¯s contribution was even clearer. The act ofpleting the research was a totally different notionpared to the act of shortening the duration ofpletion to a short one month.

    This was the reason that had caused Chen Feng to have such unbelievably high contribution. In the long history of the Gene Production Association, this was the first time something like this had happened.

    Hou Liang was somewhat anxious. "I wonder if the president will go mental because of this."

    s, when he turned his screen on and tried to contact the president, he discovered that the president¡¯s name was grayed out. This signified that the president couldn¡¯t be contacted.

    Hou Liang frowned. "This again." It had been 10 whole years. The contribution points of their presidents had not increased since then. This was also the reason Chen Feng had been able to surpass the president¡¯s contributions. Nobody had any idea what their president was doing.

    Severing connection...

    Perhaps this had been normal during ancient times, but now, they were in the gic era. This wasn¡¯t supposed to be possible. Only by entering some unique locations where the signal was severed would this happen. Otherwise, the energy chip in the wristband was sufficient to ensure the wristband would keep operating until the end of time. Hou Liang recalled that thest time the president had contacted him, it had been about his promotion. After that, the president had gone missing.

    Hou Liang sighed. "President. Where exactly are you?"

    Hum¡ª

    His wristband buzzed. As Hou Liang saw the list sent by Chen Feng, Hou Liang could only shake his head with a bitter smile. It seemed like he was going to be busy again. In the past, he had been the one issuing missions to Chen Feng. Now, though, it had be Chen Feng issuing him missions. The reversal of roles gave Hou Liang a rather inexplicable feeling.

    Presently, the research on this Beyond X project had reached the final stage as well. Chen Feng had indeed created the perfect gene reagent. However, this was far from enough. To ensure that this gene could truly be mademon for the entire humanity, more advanced technological advancements were required. For example, technology capable of differentiating different life-forms.

    "You must realize how powerful this thing is. If even the devil race and ancient race can use it, this thing will be rendered pointless to us humans. Only if this is something only humans can use will it disy its true worth. Therefore, life-form-differentiation technology is required in order to differentiate between species and ensure that only humans can use it."

    And thus, the form was modified and numerous items were added into it. With the participation of the best researchers worldwide, this form became even moreplicated. This was only one of the special functions added to this form. Apart from this, the produced gene reagent had to have some sort of encryption built in as well.

    Something like encryption was a must; they had no other options. These days, there was nock of experts among the ancient and devil races. In this world, there were way too many freaks. A lot of people could determine the used materials after taking only a single sip of the gene reagent. Therefore, to prevent the ancient and devil races from obtaining this form, encryption had to be added.

    And thus, the encryption function was added to the form. The initially simple form had now turned extremelyplicated. It was soplicated now that even Chen Feng, the inventor, could no longer fully understand the form.

    Not only that, they were also trying to add in other functions, such as a devil-taming function, devil-castrating function, and so on. By adding a minute amount of certain unique elements, it might be possible to cause devil race members that consumed this gene reagent to submit to humanity or lost their ability to breed. One particr researcher even added a female-transformation function into the gene reagent.

    He rmended that this gene reagent be marketed to all species worldwide and that the gene reagents for the ancient race and devil race be the modified version that induced a female transformation. With this, slowly, all of the ancient race and devil race members would be a single gender, thus robbing them of their ability to reproduce. At that time, perhaps Qin Hai would be one of the female bosses of the ancient race.

    Chen Feng noted his thoughts swaying everywhere and cleared his mind. Even if the feasibility of this n was ignored, way too much time would be required for it to take effect. By the time the entire ancient race and devil race became a single gender, humanity would have long since been destroyed. One had to know that the moment the devil race and ancient race, which were already so strong, erupted with the power of beyond, humanity would have no way of dealing with them.

    Naturally, this was merely one of the many suggested modifications to the form. Apart from this, all sorts of other unique and bizarre functions were rmended to be added to the gene reagent. As Chen Feng listened to the suggestions, he started sweating and hastily stopped them. What joke was this? What did they take this gene reagent for? They wanted to add everything to it?

    He could ignore the idea of female transformation, but who in the world was the one who suggested adding afort-increase function to the gene reagent? Did that fellow think they were cooking food, thus requiring spices? And the fellow who suggested the weight loss function, what, did he think that this was some weight loss gene reagent? By using the beyond X reagent, one could lose weight at the same time? What the hell?

    Everyone proposed without stop.

    "Boss, I think these ideas are feasible."

    "Yeah, there¡¯s nothing bad about adding them anyway."

    "The more the better..."

    "Shut up!" Chen Feng bellowed. Theoretically, what they had suggested was indeed not wrong, but with their suggestions, the effects of this beyond X form would be too huge, surpassing the initial purpose of this form. What would they do about the cost and difficulty of production, then? If the final form was tooplicated, how were producers supposed to produce them?

    One ought to remember that even the basic version of this form was something only an advanced producer could produce. If all sorts of functions were added, thus increasing the production difficulty, it might ultimately result in master producers being the only ones capable of producing it.

    If so, how were they supposed to mass produce it, then? How were they supposed to spread this thing across the world? If they focused too much on these added functions, they might lose sight of the bigger picture. Chen Feng studied it attentively and noted that even now, the form was almost uneptablyplicated already. After pondering the matter, he decided to clear up a bunch of the form¡¯s added functions.

    "This won¡¯t do." Without hesitation, Chen Fengmanded, "Apart from the basic life-form differentiator, remove all other functions. In the form, apart from the core effect, this is the only added function that will stay."

    "All right."

    Only at this did they start progressing with the project. Three dayster, the true beyond X gene reagent was produced. This was the result of the research of Chen Feng and the best researchers worldwide, an almost wless support gene reagent.

    ----

    Name: Beyond X

    Function: Triggers the power of beyond.

    Active duration: One second.

    Main effect 1: Triggers the power of beyond, pushing the user into a beyond X state and increasing the user¡¯s power greatly.

    Main effect 2: Enables a regr gic warrior to start contemting the power of beyond in advance. Every single usage of this gene reagent can potentially increase the user¡¯s understanding of the power of beyond.

    Limitation 1: Only usable by humans.

    ----

    "Very good. Next, we shall enter the mass-marketing stage."

    Now that Chen Feng was the overseer of this project, his words were akin tomands that nobody could go against. The secondmand released by him also rmed everyone. Now, they were going to enter the advanced purchase stage for this form.

    That¡¯s right, advanced purchase. In the Gene Production Association¡¯s exchange window, Chen Feng directly set up a beyond X form exchange section. He was truly nning to make this form avable to the public.

    The Gic Union was the first to object to this. "This won¡¯t do. What about the devil race and ancient race?"

    Despite the fact that in the exchange system, only advanced producers and above who were registered with the Gene Production Association could trade for this form, with the strength of both the ancient race and the devil race, it wouldn¡¯t be too difficult for them to sneak in and obtain the form for themselves. At that time, the humanity¡¯s biggest secret, their core technology, would fall into their enemy¡¯s hands.

    Chen Feng¡¯s act of removing the encryption function from the form was already something that caused others to be furious. Now, he was even making the form public? Had he gone crazy?

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Don¡¯t worry." He was a person who once went to an era long gone. As such, he had a much deeper understanding of the devil race than others did. During that barbaric era, it was simply impossible for a gene producer to actually appear among the devil race, let alone a gene producer capable of analyzing their form, improving it, and producing a version specifically for the devil race. As such, the function restricting the usage of this gene reagent to only humans was already sufficient. In a straightforward manner, Chen Feng stated, "Do remember that the reagent produced by me, Chen Feng, is something impossible to be thoroughly deciphered. You guys have all studied this form as well, so please do tell me, have any of you been sessful in thoroughly deciphering it?"

    As the others heard this, they blushed with shame. Only now did they realize that if even they couldn¡¯t do it, how could the devil race and ancient race, neither of whom had any sort of production association, aplish it? It was nearly impossible.

    "Very good." Chen Feng was very satisfied with their response. If the headquarters of the Gene Production Association alone were in charge of producing this gene reagent, it would not be sufficient for humanity. Only by making the form public and allowing all advanced producers and above to participate would this new gene reagent be truly widespread, truly transforming into a gene reagent of the people.

    The next day, the exchange was formally opened to the public. The numerous major powers worldwide had begun preparing for this long ago. Almost all these powers had advanced producers in their ranks. As such, the moment they obtained the form, they could start production immediately. The increase in the strength of humanity was imminent.

    Despite the heartache one felt when looking at the high price of the form, for the sake of a better future, all the producers clenched their teeth and purchased it.

    "Obtained!"

    Everyone checked their purchased form in excitement.

    Raw materials...

    Production sequence...

    Production course...

    Potential problems...

    This was an incredibly detailed document. Chen Feng had documented all potential problems and the course of production in it, giving the readers quite a pleasant feeling as they read it, so pleasant that nearly all advanced producers were done familiarizing themselves with the form within a few minutes. s, when they were about to start production, they encountered trouble.

    "Crescent moon grass, avable. ckberry juice, avable. This is avable as well. Mhm... this...sighing grass? It¡¯s a rather rare herb, but the rarity is still at an eptable level."

    s, as they was about to purchase the material, they were all rmed. That was because the sighing grass that had previously been priced at 99 yuan had increased rapidly in price to 999 yuan. Moreover, the scariest aspect of this was the fact that this herb had been swept clean from the market, and now, one couldn¡¯t even buy it even if one had the money for it. The price of 999 yuan seemed like a joke now. Perhaps even 10 times 9999 yuan would only only grant one a mere possibility of obtaining this herb.

    This... Why was this happening? The various major powers were dumbfounded. The scarcity of this sighing grass caught them off guard. After all, previously, this herb had not beenmonly used. Even if there was ack of stock, nobody would truly be bothered. Now, though, the various major powers were going crazy.

    Even if they were willing to pay more to purchase this herb, the avable stock was still too little in amount. Even after buying all avable herbs on the market, they still couldn¡¯t produce much of the new gene reagent. Right at this instant, suddenly, a small gene store suddenly started selling sighing grass.

    "How much?"

    "It¡¯s priced at 99,999 yuan."

    "The hell. Has this guy gone crazy from being too poor?"

    "Should we give up, then?"

    "Give up my ass. Buy it. Buy it all."

    The various major powers all pounced on the market like beasts, afraid that the stock would be cleared if they were any slower. Next, with astonishment, they noted that even after several hundred million yuan was wasted purchasing these herbs, there was still avable stock.

    "There¡¯s more?"

    The big shots, with their keen senses, noted that something seemed off. After contacting their friends, they noted that almost everyone had purchased a huge amount of sighing grass.

    "How much have you bought?"

    "Around a thousand." Wang Lin was not bothered by that amount. "How about you?"

    Ma Teng sighed. "Two times your amount. How about Xu Yin?"

    Xu Yin¡¯s face darkened. "Triple."

    Zhou Hong¡¯s heart ached. "Five times."

    Ding Shi had an unsightly expression as well. "Six times."

    Jack Ma tried to make a light joke to reduce the tense atmosphere before reporting the amount he¡¯d purchased. "I bid,ndlord![1] 1 Mhm, I bought ten times that amount." Apart from them, all the other powers of differing sizes had also exhausted a huge amount of wealth to purchase the sighing grass just so they could be the first to produce the new gene reagent. Each of them might not have had too much money individually, but when the amount wasbined...

    As everyone exchanged nces and looked at the green light signifying a still healthy stockpile of sighing grass in this store, their expressions became terrifyingly dark. If their guesses were correct, they had probablynded in a huge scam, an abyss of a scam so deep that the depths couldn¡¯t be seen. At this time, while the various powers were conflicted, the Gic Union was instead rather rxed.

    "Please give us some sighing grass," the Research Agency begged.

    The Gic Union showed no trace of politeness. "Scram!" They still remembered how these fellows hadn¡¯t been on their side previously when they¡¯d been fighting over the copyright of the new form.

    "You guys have so much in your storage anyway, so much that you guys can¡¯t even finish it." The Research Agency wasn¡¯t the least bothered with the Gic Union¡¯s attitude. After all, the market price of sighing grass was now so expensive that one couldn¡¯t even begin to imagine it. As such, the only way of purchasing it at a cheaper price was by purchasing it from the Gic Union. After all, the difference between 50 yuan and 99,999 yuan was incrediblyrge, a difference of nearly 2,000 times.

    The Gic Union directly rejected them. "Not now, but one day, they will still be finished."

    The person from the Research Agency smiled. "Please don¡¯t be like this. We should help each other... You should let us have at least some of your stock, right? How about half your stock? Hey, don¡¯t go. How about 40% of your stock? Even 30% will do. Hey, bro... 20%! Please, just 20% will do. I will purchase it at 10 times your price. How about it, am I sincere enough?"

    The people of the Gic Union merely sneered at this. After all, even 10 times the price was still 500 yuan. Presently, the market price was 99,999 yuan. What a shameless fellow.

    "Sigh, 20 times? For only 10% of your stock?"

    "I seem to remember that the current market price is 99,999 yuan, right?" stated the Gic Union unhurriedly. And thus, the manager of the Procurement Department of both parties started bargaining crazily. Unfortunately, the Gic Union was unwilling to take a single step back.

    "A price of 50,000 each for 10% of the amount we have in our storage." This was the most the Gic Union could do.

    The Research Agency found this uneptable. "That is not possible. Although the market price is 99,999 yuan, nobody is buying it at all, all right? Even now, it¡¯s still for sale in the virtualmunity and the stock level is still green. This signifies that nobody is buying it at all, as the stock isn¡¯t reducing. I think that after a day or two, the price will readjust to the normal level."

    "That¡¯s none of our business." The Gic Union was unwilling topromise. Ultimately, the Research Agency could only leave in disappointment.

    Right at this moment, the employee in charge of checking the stock level of the Gic Union¡¯s warehouse returned with a dark expression. His report stupefied everyone present.

    The head of the Procurement Department was stupefied. "What are you saying?"

    "The sighing grass is gone." The employee continued with an unsightly expression, "There¡¯s only 100 left."

    Shua!

    Everyonepsed into silence.

    "Have you checked wrongly?" The head checked the data on his screen. "Here, it clearly shows that the storage is still full. Moreover, the first instant after obtaining the form, we forbade the sale of sighing grass."

    "I know." The employee had also been shocked when he¡¯d first seen it. As such, he¡¯d immediatelyunched an investigation and discovered something that caused him to not know whether tough or cry. "Based on our investigation, the warehouse manager personally bought the sighing grasses in our storage and then resold it at the market. Since this herb was rarely used previously and had a cheap price, it went unnoticed."

    "..."

    The head almost fainted then and there. Sold... sold them? Even the eyes of the person from the Research Agency beside them were wide open as well. Wow, how dramatic.

    The head cleared his mind from the shock shortly after. "Where¡¯s the money, then?" Despite the herb being sold, the money should still be around. Based on the current price of sighing grass, it had to have been sold for an extremely huge price. If they could repurchase the sold herbs with the money obtained previously, they shouldn¡¯t suffer too huge a loss.

    "Oh..." The employee paused before cautiously saying, "When he sold the sighing grass, the beyond X form had yet to appear. At that time..." He flipped the data around and continued, "the price was 999 yuan."

    Bang!

    Blood rushed to the brain of the head, who almost fainted then and there. Sold at 999 yuan? But the current market price was 99,999 yuan! The hell! A disparity of almost 100 times! As for the Research Agency person to the side, he was rejoicing in the cmity of others. Tsk tsk, the Gic Union had a habit of hiring and providing for employees without much value. Now look what that had led to.

    "How much did he sell?" the head asked while shuddering.

    "Based on what he said, at first, he merely nned to sell half of what we had in the warehouse. Subsequently, as he saw that this herb was truly pricy, he sold more and more, and without realizing it, only 100 was left in the warehouse. Based on our investigation into his bank ount, 100,000 sighing grass was sold," the employee concluded.

    The department head¡¯s legs weakened. A hundred thousand? Based on present market price... Suddenly, he felt like this was the end of his career as the head of the department.

    The head raged. "I want to kill him!" Now, he felt like swallowing that person whole.

    "We have already captured him. You can do it anytime you want," the employee stated coldly.

    The head gnashed his teeth. "Good."

    Unfortunately, being angry wouldn¡¯t help much at this time. Despite the huge potential loss, if they tried to recover the money that person had gained from his sales... this amount that neared hundreds of millions was still quite huge.

    "Have you recovered the money from him?" the head asked instinctively.

    "..." The employee paused before answering awkwardly, "When we arrived, he had already spent all the money."

    "???" The head was dumbfounded. "Spent?"

    "Yes," the employee replied with a bitter smile.

    The head found this inconceivable. "How did he spend that much money?" The hell, cash nearing a hundred million, even he wouldn¡¯t know how to spend that all within a few short days, let alone a normally poor warehouse manager.

    The employee checked the record. "Oh. Based on our investigation, he has recently been in frequent contact with a female streamer called Yue Er. The amount he tipped this female streamer reached the tens of millions."

    Tens of millions...

    The head roared inwardly, wondering if that person¡¯s brain was made of shit. "What about the remaining 90 million, then?" he asked while shuddering.

    The employee answered, "He bought a vi in the capital, paying for it partially."

    The head was somewhat doubtful. "How about the rest of the payment?"

    "The rest..." The employee checked the data. "The rest of the money for the vi has not yet been fully paid."

 Chapter 517: This Scheme Is Too Excessiveâ€¦

    Chapter 517: This Scheme Is Too Excessive...

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "???" The department head couldn¡¯t react to this new revtion.

    "Mhm." The employee exined, "The vis in the capital are priced at around 90 million per vi. That Zhang Dapao was obviously not aware of the market price. As such, after signing the contract, the misceneous fees such as taxes and so on pushed the price beyond 100 million. As such, he still owes them around 20 million for the vi."

    At this, the head finally despaired for real. "Can... can we ask for a refund of the money?" he asked expectantly.

    "Not possible," the employee replied. "That guy went totally crazy after earning some cash. He paid for a bunch of male and female celebrities and started a crazy party at the vi. Next, his actions were reported by a multitude of people. Now, his vi has already been put forth as the guarantee on his unpaid loan and has presently entered the liquidation stage."

    This time, the head despaired for real. It was over. It was all over. They no longer had any sighing grass, nor could they even recover the profits from the sale of the sighing grass. The other relevant parties had already gotten started with production. He could already see the future that awaited him if they were unable to supply the materials in time.

    Bang!

    His brain jolted furiously, and he almost fainted then and there. He turned around and saw the person from the Research Agency, who was enjoying the show. At that, he recovered somewhat from his shock. Perhaps... he still had a chance at salvaging this.

    The head braced himself and walked over. "Hey, bro."

    The person from the Research Agency rejected him without a trace of politeness. "Scram!"

    The head¡¯s face seemed to thicken considerably as he shamelessly asked, "I seem to remember that you still have some in your storage, right?"

    "We only have several thousand. How is thatparable to your stock of a hundred thousand?" The person from the Research Agency sneered. Where was the arrogance disyed earlier?

    "Come on, share some with us."

    "Scram!"

    "Bro, please."

    "Scram!"

    "Master, please."

    "Scram..."

    "Father, please give me some sighing grass."

    "..."

    "Grandpa, I hereby kneel down to pay my respects to you."

    "..."

    Ultimately, the Gic Union unexpectedly seeded in obtaining around 1,000 sighing grass from the Research Agency. This was still quite a small amount, though. Nobody knew what had happened to result in this. However, based on the brief description of the person from the Research Agency, the head of the Gic Union¡¯s Procurement Department was truly excessively shameless. If he truly had to describe what had happened during the negotiation process, he could only describe it with the phrase: shocking the eye and astonishing the heart.

    Naturally, apart from the Zhang Dapao¡¯s punishment, the fellow that had previously caused the price of this sighing grass to increase by using that "breaking through to master producer" as an excuse wouldn¡¯t be let off either.

    "Investigate this. This is an unfair monopoly of the market. This is a financial scam. I am going to kill that person."

    The fury of the Gic Union was now aimed in a different direction. They did not even need any solid evidence. So long as they found out who that fellow was, they would let that fellow know what the strongest organization in the world, the Gic Union, was made of. With the enormous power of the Gic Union, they indeed managed to find out the truth soon enough. s, the truth was truly too rming, to the point where, ultimately, they could only keep their mouths shut despite knowing the truth.

    Why is it this fellow? they asked as they looked at the details on their screen. They could make a move to bully any person but this guy here. This grandpa here was a person they could not afford to offend no matter what.

    Presently, they onlycked sighing grass. If they dared to offend this grandpa, they would probably lose even the rights to produce this gene reagent. That¡¯s right, their result indicated that the person who caused this to happen was precisely Chen Feng.

    If it was Chen Feng, the sudden increase of the price of sighing grass and the mass clearance of sighing grass from the market were now exinable. At this time, Chen Feng was all smiles as he looked at the huge amount of money in his bank ount.

    Mhm, the word "skyrocket" could be used to aptly describe the increase in the amount of money in his ount.

    In a single day, the amount of money he¡¯d made was already off the charts, reaching a number Chen Feng did not even know how to pronounce. So terrifying was the amount that it was nearly unspeakable. Sighing grass... Chen Feng smiled.

    But then, Chen Feng was also clear that this would notst long. This had only happened due to this being the first day, since the various major powers werepeting against each other to increase their strength the quickest. With the price of sighing grass increasing without stop, they¡¯d been scared into purchasing the overpriced sighing grass in bulk. By now, they should have regained their calm already.

    Furthermore, the only reason they¡¯d had a hard time procuring sighing grass was due to the low demand for this herb previously, which resulted in a low supply. Now that the demand had increased greatly, Chen Feng was sure that those sighing grass farms would start researching ways to increase the output of the herb.

    It wouldn¡¯t be long before the supply of this herb increased greatly. In the future, this would be one of the bestsellers on the market. As such, the demand for this herb would only increase, not decrease. As for its price, it would naturally drop gradually before slowly readjusting to its new normal level.

    Based on Chen Feng¡¯s initial estimate, the proper value of this sighing grass should be around 1,000 yuan. He checked his records and noted that indeed, presently, the sale of his sighing grass had indeed dropped greatlypared to when he¡¯d first started selling. Since the various powers were already done purchasing what they required, anyone still purchasing now was likely an ordinary gene producer.

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "Well then, time to change the price."

    **

    Virtualmunity.

    An advanced producer was hesitating while staring at the price of sighing grass. This price of 99,999 was the type of price that surpassed the imagination. Granted, an advanced producer wouldn¡¯t truly becking in money. Unfortunately, the price of sighing grass coupled with other materials had caused the production cost of this beyond X gene reagent to be incredibly expensive.

    Should he buy this sighing grass, then? His heart ached. After hesitating for a long time, he sighed and decided to still make the purchase. For the sake of his research, what other option did he have? Just as he was about to make the purchase, the exchange board was refreshed and something new appeared on it.

    "Yi? Someone else is selling it as well?"

    He was rather shocked. One ought to know that he had waited for an entire day, yet this small store had been the only ce selling sighing grass thus far. Nobody else had been selling it, but now...

    Shua!

    He turned the interface on and was immediately stunned.

    ----

    Name: Sighing grass.

    Price: 3,000 yuan.

    Introduction: To repay the contribution of the great producers toward humanity, this shop is selling at a special price. Hopefully, all producers will continue working hard to produce even better gene reagents.

    Restriction: Only one purchase per person.

    Restriction: Advanced producers only.

    ----

    Bang!

    The moment this announcement was made, the entire virtualmunity erupted in an uproar. Three thousand yuan? This was an incredibly low price! When they took a better look, they noted that the seller this time was precisely "The Strongest Gene" shop¡ªChen Feng¡¯s shop.

    "Chen Feng?"

    "The main researcher of that Beyond X project?"

    "Haha, it¡¯s him indeed."

    "Why does he have so much sighing grass?"

    "Haha. He must have known in advance that those damnable capitalists would take the opportunity to increase the price shamelessly. As such, he must have prepared his stock in advance to sell it to us normal producers at a fair price."

    "So that¡¯s the case."

    "He is indeed worthy of being a member of the Gene Production Association."

    Everyone praised Chen Feng. That already righteous reputation of Chen Feng¡¯s improved greatly once again. Naturally, there were some who imed that Chen Feng was the very person that caused the price to increase in the first ce.

    "Hehe, I seem to recall that the power you belong to is rather huge?"

    "I heard that you guys purchased a lot of them at the price of 99,999 yuan?"

    "Tsk tsk, no wonder you guys are trying to discredit Chen Feng. Seems like your benefits have been threatened now, huh?"

    "True, true."

    The masses despised theiners. After all, with Chen Feng¡¯s contribution and reputation, who would believe theseints?

    If Chen Feng was truly doing this for profit, he could very well sell sighing grass for 88,888 yuan. A lot of people would still purchase it at that price. Was there a need to reduce the price to only 3,000 yuan? Clearly, he was doing this to ensure the spread of this new form.

    Toward this, the various major powers could only swallow their grief. What could they do? They felt extremely helpless as well. How long had it been since they¡¯d exhausted their wealth to purchase the initially overpriced sighing grass? It hadn¡¯t even been one full day yet! Wasn¡¯t it excessive of Chen Feng to reduce the price in such a manner?

    Yet he still dared im he did not wish for the price to be excessively high? What nonsense? Now, they could see things very clearly. Chen Feng was clearly scamming them, the major powers who had purchased a huge amount of sighing grass earlier, treating them like major idiots.

    Moreover, the targets of Chen Feng¡¯s scam were only these major powers, while the ordinary producers were all spared. As such, even if theyined, the masses would only ignore them. As this incident progressed, the very first batch of beyond X gene reagents was finally produced by numerous producers. Finally, this new gene reagent entered the hands of the public. Three dayster, the first beyond-B-ss gic warrior appeared, rocking the entire world.

    The impact of beyond X was beyond their expectations. After the Gic Union started officially publishing and mass-releasing beyond X gene reagents, everyone was dumbfounded. This was because everyone, those gic warriors included, had never managed to make sense of even the description of this reagent. Activate the power of beyond? What¡¯s that? What¡¯s the purpose of that? Nobody had any idea.

    Despite the Gic Union¡¯s detailed description, the description was, after all, still something only written, only described in words. The masses did not have a clear picture of what exactly this was. As such, everyone was somewhat expectant yet doubtful. After the mass release of this gene reagent, the Gic Union intended to create some beyond B sses, beyond C sses, and so on as soon as possible.

    s, despite the deepening of these users¡¯ understanding of the power of beyond, they had yet to gain fullprehension on the power of beyond. As such, the spread of beyond X could only proceed slowly. This continued until the third day, when finally, the first natural beyond-B-ss gic warrior appeared. This was not a member of the Gic Union or the Research Agency. Rather, this was an unknown child from a ratherrge family. An ordinary gic warrior that was rather talented yet not liked by his own family members.

    This person had only taken a single bottle of beyond X gene reagent before immediately gaining fullprehension on the power of beyond. Most terrifying was the fact that after his breakthrough, he changed greatly. Despite still being in B ss, hisbat power was alreadyparable to an A ss, so powerful that it was inconceivable.

    Only now did the masses finally have a clearer understanding of what this power of beyond entailed. So, this was the function of the beyond X gene reagent? A reagent capable of increasing thebat power of a person by an entire level? Moreover, regardless of whether one was B, C, D, or even E ss, so long as that person gained fullprehension of the power of beyond, that person would obtain a permanent increase inbat power.

    As long as oneprehended the power of beyond, one would forever be stronger by one level. Even when one reached A ss, one would still be a beyond A ss. This was the most terrifying aspect of this new gene reagent. As for the snowball effect after the increase in one¡¯s strength, this did not need much exnation. From this day onward, the impact of beyond X increased rapidly. Now, everyone knew that such a terrifying gene reagent had appeared. Everyone went crazy for this gene reagent.

    Finally, the beyond X gene reagent had progressed from something that only influenced the elites into something that truly influenced the masses. Countless people started exhausting everything they had just so they could get a single bottle of beyond X gene reagent.

    Gic Union...

    Research Agency...

    Gene Production Association...

    Every single ce where this beyond X gene reagent was sold was filled with people. Everyone wished to be part of the first batch of participants in thising new age of humanity.

    "This won¡¯t do."

    "The entrances to all our branches are already blocked."

    The people of the Gic Union and Gene Production Association started sweating. The crowd was truly too huge, so huge that one couldn¡¯t even begin to imagine it.

    "How can there be so many people?"

    "What nonsense are you asking? Do you think that currently, we¡¯re still in a peaceful era? The ancient race and devil race are around the corner. Have you forgotten the descent of darkness not long ago?"

    At this, they were startled awake. Indeed. Chaos was about to befall this world. Because of this, they were all extremely impatient to increase their strength.

    "This can¡¯t continue."

    "The demand is too high. We simply can¡¯t meet the demand."

    "What to do, then?"

    Numerous messages requesting help were transmitted to Chen Feng¡¯s inbox. Since Chen Feng was the overseer of this project, since he was the one who was earning thergest portion of the profit, naturally, he would have to take on some responsibilities as well.

    Hou Liang¡¯s head ached as he saw this as well. "This is somewhat troublesome."

    "How about those major families?" Chen Feng found it odd. It had been several days since the sighing grass was sold on the market. As such, those major families should have gotten started with their production.

    Hou Liang curled his lips. "I suppose they are waiting for you to make a joke out of yourself. You scammed them so harshly, yet now you are hoping that they will help solve this predicament of yours?"

    Chen Fengughed dryly. "Hehe." He started studying the data he had in his hands. Mhm... this had indeed somewhat exceeded his expectations, yet it wasn¡¯t something he couldn¡¯t solve.

    One ought to know that in Chen Feng¡¯s previous life, apart from being an incredibly unlucky guy, he had also been someone who had inherited the spirit of socialism, an act of employing people to provide goods and services for themon good, the social benefit. As the inheritor of this great spirit, he had naturally studied the concept of socialism before. Certain aspects of this concept were things that would work well no matter the ce. An example was the concept of outsourcing.

    He recalled that in his previous life, it was said that a certain project was initiated by the act of the government providing a grant of 10,000,000,000 yuan to a certain state enterprise to have the job done. Next, this state enterprise provided 100,000,000 yuan to a certain group of Ph.D. professors to get the job done. Subsequently, those professors provided 10,000,000 yuan to a certain group of tutors to get the job done. Ultimately, those tutors provided 1,000,000 yuan to a bunch of students to get the job done. In the end, this grand project was actuallypleted by a bunch of university students.

    And now, this problem they faced could also be solved by the act of outsourcing. However, with his present status and position, there was no need to even conceal the fact that he was outsourcing this. Chen Feng decided to do this openly, and he started inviting all gene producers to join this project by using a method familiar to all the people in this world: issuing missions.

    ----

    Beyond X Gene Reagent Production

    Mission rank: 5 stars.

    Mission requirement: Sessfully produce a single bottle of beyond X gene reagent.

    Mission materials: The Gene Production Association shall provide all materials.

    Mission reward: Every time one epts this mission, the Gene Production Association will grant two beyond X points. Every one point can be traded for a single set of materials. If one sessfully produces in a single attempt, one can umte the given points into one¡¯s personal ount. If one only sessfully produces the gene reagent during the fourth attempt, one will owe the Gene Production Association two points. The earned points can be used at any time with no limitations. Before the points owed are fully paid, one must attempt this mission at least once per day.

    Limitation: Certified as a beyond X producer.

    ----

    Bang!

    The moment this mission was released, it caused a huge uproar. Mission? Point system? All gene producers were shocked.

    Despite the form being made public, despite the reduction in the price of sighing grass, the huge production cost of this gene reagent was still something a lot of gene producers couldn¡¯t afford. This was due to the sess rate of production. For an ordinary advanced producer, the sess rate for first-time production of the beyond X gene reagent was simply too low. They might be able to ept the cost of producing a single time. With difficulty, they could still support two attempts. What if it was three attempts, ten attempts, or even a hundred attempts? They simply had no way of bearing such a cost.

    The initial investment for anyone wishing to produce this gene reagent was akin to a bottomless abyss. As such, despite the huge number of advanced producers worldwide, the number of people actually capable of producing this gene reagent was incredibly low, and to increase the sess rate from 0% to 100% would require a long time.

    But now this mission had been released. All the producers gazed resolutely at this 5-star mission. No price, no conditions. So long as one epted the mission, one could start production unconditionally. Although they were aware that in the beginning, they would most certainly be in debt and owe the Gene Production Association some points, with the provision of unlimited free materials, they were all confident that they could master the production of this form in a short period of time. At that time, they would have a 100% sess rate. At that time, every single attempt would be sessful and earn them points.

    Soon enough, they would be able to repay what they owed. Apart from that, they could also profit from this by bing a powerful beyond X gene reagent producer. Without any costs, they would be able to master a brand-new skill that wasparatively powerful. Before all that, they only needed to produce for the Gene Production Association for a period of time. Such a job was in fact a dream experience for a huge amount of people.

    "I¡¯ll do it."

    All the producers became endlessly moved. At the same time, the Gene Production Association started the certification for the production of this gene reagent.

    Beyond X Gene Reagent Production Qualification Certification

    Requirement: A genius among intermediate producers, an ordinary advanced producer, or a higher-leveled producer.

    Content: Extreme familiarity with the contents of the beyond X form. The potential of the applicant is taken into consideration as well.

    Cost of certification: 100,000 yuan

    ----

    This was a steep price for a lot of people. However, this amount of money was absolutely not a problem for advanced producers. If they couldn¡¯t even afford such sum with their identity as an advanced producer, their skill level was truly questionable. After all, an advanced producer should be able to earn that much money by randomly producing a single gene reagent.

    Such a steep price was also a mechanism put in ce to prevent the disturbance caused by excessive attempts from intermediate producers. As for the content of this certification, it was rather ck. Basically, as long as the applicant had potential for growth and was not one of those producers who wouldn¡¯t make any sort of progress even after several dozen productions, the applicant would be epted. After seeing the requirement for this certification, nearly all advanced producers made their move.

    Hou Liang was extremely anxious. "Will this really be fine?" The nurture of producers was akin to a huge pit. During the past few days, they had exhausted a huge amount of materials just to nurture several producers of their own organization to a sufficient level to start producing the beyond X gene reagent. If they were now required to nurture all advanced producers in existence... Even with Chen Feng¡¯s thick pockets, it still wouldn¡¯t be sufficient to fulfill what all these producers required to grow.

    "Chen Feng, we can¡¯t keep this up for more than two days," Hou Liang stated seriously. "Not all producers have your sess rate in production. I have seen a huge amount of producers who still remain rookies even after more than a hundred productions."

    "You don¡¯t have to worry about that." Chen Feng smiled. "There are naturally sponsors for these materials."

    "Huh?"

    Hou Liang nked. Right at this moment, Chen Feng finished arranging the mission he had on his wristband. The mission was sent out.

    ----

    Beyond X Gene Reagent Conversion

    Conversion target: All gic warriors.

    Conversion method 1, material conversion: One beyond X gene reagent for 10plete sets of materials required for 10 attempts at beyond X gene reagent production.

    Conversion method 2, cash conversion: 100,000,000 yuan (This is a brand new form. Hence, the sess rate of all our producers is still below 1%. Please carry out your own calctions before deciding to purchase).

    ----

    Finally! As the gic warriors that had been waiting for the gene reagents saw this, they all became agitated.

    s, they had never expected that the Gene Production Association would provide two methods of purchase for this gene reagent, with the cash purchase option being so incredibly high. Had they gone crazy? Even if the sess rate was less than 1%, they shouldn¡¯t be selling it at such an excessive price, right?

    "Let me do some calction." One of them started calcting. "Mhm... Moonlight grass, 1,000 yuan... Calm wind liquid, 2,000 yuan..." He kept jabbing at his screen to calcte the cost of production. As he was calcting, he paused. "Sighing grass... 38,000 yuan?"

    Hold on. He was somewhat dumbstruck. This price...

    The price he had used for his calction was based on the average at the exchange for the past three days. These prices were all openly shown. He had truly never expected that the price of this sighing grass...

    "Why is it so expensive?"

    "Because there¡¯s no stock in the entire market. Since what Chen Feng is selling is only limited to advanced producers, his stock is considered internal resources and was not considered when the market adjusted the price."

    "The hell. If this price is multiplied by 100..." Suddenly, he was rmed. Shortly after, he finished his calction. The sighing grass alone would already cost over 3 million yuan. Ultimately, a single beyond x gene reagent would cost 100,000 to produce. After taking into consideration the sess rate of less than 1%, multiplying this cost a hundred times, it would truly cost 100,000,000 yuan to produce.

    "So it truly costs this much..."

    "Seems like we can only try to trade with materials."

    "What a pity that it is so expensive."

    "It¡¯s still better to trade with materials, after all."

    Now, their attention was switched to material conversion. It seemed like,pared to cash conversion, material conversion was more worth it. Based on the present market price of the materials, only around 1,000,000 yuan was required and they would be able to obtain a single gene reagent. This was so cheap that it was beyond one¡¯s imagination.

    "It costs 10% of the production cost?"

    "Mhm."

    "Why is such method of conversion even avable?"

    A lot of people couldn¡¯t understand the reasoning for this. They truly couldn¡¯t understand. With 100,000,000 yuan in cash, they could only purchase a single gene reagent, yet with materials worth 1,000,000 yuan, they could also purchase a single gene reagent. With sufficient money, only a single minute was required for them to purchase all the required materials for exchange from the virtual market.

    "Is the Gene Production Association stupid?"

    They felt powerless to even berate this stupidity. However, as far as they were concerned, this was absolutely good news for them.

    "Buy, buy, buy!"

    "I want to gather the materials."

    "Same here."

    Everyone entered the virtualmunity in excitement. Only at this did they find with shock that now, the sighing grass priced at 50,000 yuan that had been ignored by the masses for several days already was now being cleared from the market. As time passed, the price of this material increased without stop.

    The price increased to 60,000, yet it was still cleared from the market.

    The price increased to 80,000, yet it was still cleared from the market.

    The price reached 100,000, yet it was still cleared from the market.

    The price of sighing grass was still increasing! Toward the end, the market was truly short of stock. Even if one had the money for it, one couldn¡¯t buy it.

    "This..."

    "How did this happen?"

    "The production is still too low, but the demand is too huge."

    "It¡¯s too expensive for us to buy it from the market, yet those sold at Chen Feng¡¯s shop can only be purchased by producers. What can we do, then?"

    "I shall go dig for these herbs by myself! Isn¡¯t this a mere material? If I can¡¯t even obtain something like this, how am I supposed to face others?"

    "True."

    "Hey, I heard that a certain ce has researched a brand-new method of growing sighing grass. However, this is a method only doable by gic warriors..."

    "Please introduce me to that ce."

    The market was cleared of sighing grass. In helplessness, the masses finally started to develop the growth of sighing grass. In a short two days, several hundred research projects pertaining to the growth of sighing grass appeared.

    Energy growth...

    Feeding growth...

    All sorts of bizarre methods appeared. Among these, the most loved method was the method of creating sighing grass¡¯s unique habitat by using gic abilities. This unique habitat would allow the sighing grass to absorb the energy within the habitat to grow rapidly. Some decided to use such a method to obtain sighing grass, whereas some decided to go to the dangerous wilderness to start harvesting sighing grass. With this, the pressure on the Gene Production Association when it came to the supply of materials was greatly reduced.

    Finally, after one week, before the reserve of sighing grass at the Gic Union¡¯s warehouse was exhausted, a bnce was reached between the materials provided by the gic warriors and the demand from the gene producers. The gic warriors were responsible for gathering and farming, and then they¡¯d trade these materials at the Gene Production Association for beyond X gene reagents. On the other hand, the advanced producers were responsible for production.

    "Yet another batch of producers has reached a sess rate of 80%."

    "A huge group of them have reached a sess rate of 50%."

    Hou Liangpiled all thetest data in a report. During the past three days, with an unlimited supply of materials, those producers involved had produced with all their energy. Finally, they¡¯d been able to be true beyond X producers.

    Granted, Hou Liang was of the opinion that with so many materials supplied, even the most idiotic of all could be trained. The appearance of every additional beyond X producer would greatly reduce the pressure on the Gene Production Association. This was because this signified that these people would be ving away for the Gene Production Association for a long time.

    Hou Liang looked at the list of names of beyond X producers. He looked at the long list of points these producers owed the association, and then heughed happily.

    In a single week, the production and marketing of beyond X gene reagent entered the proper track. With the spur thanks to the development of the growth of sighing grass, despite the somewhat pressured supply of materials, it was still able to somewhat satisfy a huge amount of gic warriors. Presently, the crowd of gic warriors at the entrance of the Gic Union was long gone, all busy harvesting materials.

    At the same time, more and more beyond warriors appeared. Beyond B, beyond C...

    Earlier today, a beyond D ss warrior even appeared, causing quite an uproar. This uproar was due to the fact that even now, a lot of A ss and B ss warriors had yet to grasp the power of beyond. Only now did the masses realize one thing: one¡¯sprehension of the power of beyond seemed unrted to one¡¯s strength?

 Chapter 520: Whatâ€™s the Point?

    Chapter 520: What¡¯s the Point?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Some were incredibly gifted, yet theirprehension of the power of beyond was stuck at a bottleneck. Even after consuming more than ten bottles of beyond X gene reagent, they had yet to see any effect on theirprehension. The only effect the gene reagent had on them was the single second of gold radiance around their body.

    Some had mediocre strength, potential, and ability, yet with a single gene reagent, they directlyprehended the power of beyond.

    It seemed like there was indeed some sort of aptitude when it came toprehension of the power of beyond as well. At this moment, the Research Agency released theirtest research at a cheap price: the beyond potential evaluator. This was a chip capable of detecting one¡¯s aptitude inprehending the power of beyond.

    The moment this chip was released, it caused a great uproar. It was said that those who reached 100 points in the evaluation would definitely be able toprehend the power of beyond in a single attempt. These people were geniuses in the truest sense.

    "Ding¡ª"

    "Your potential is rated 20 points. Evaluation: shabby, probability ofprehension very low."

    "Ding¡ª"

    "Your potential is rated 90 points. Evaluation: perfect, probability ofprehension very high."

    "Ding¡ª"

    "Your potential is rated 50 points. Evaluation: ordinary, probability ofprehension normal."

    Each time one evaluated oneself, a rough evaluation would be provided. As the currently avable data on the power of beyond was still too low, only these simple descriptions were provided. However, this small description was already sufficient to be used as something for some people to show themselves off. Thus, thepetition of one¡¯s points started being some sort of entertainment.

    In a certain rented room.

    "Haha, I have a potential reaching 88 points!"

    "So what? I have a potential of 89 points."

    "Hehe, sorry, but my potential is 96 points."

    "Wow, for real?"

    They gasped in admiration at each other as they discussed. "It seems like we are all geniuses atprehending the power of beyond."

    "True that."

    Theymented endlessly.

    At this time, Zhao Tian, who had been working overtime for three days, finally returned. Zhao Tian had always been the strongest among them. As such, they were extremely concerned with his score.

    "Zhao Tian,e, check your score."

    "Thirty-six points," Zhao Tian stated indifferently.

    They were overjoyed. "So low? This won¡¯t do. The rest of us all have high scores."

    Zhao Tian shook his head, not bothered. "There¡¯s no meaning in that."

    "What do you mean by no meaning? This signifies that we have better futures than you." They were all feeling proud.

    "..." Zhao Tian gazed at them like he was gazing at some idiots. "What¡¯s the point of that? That gene reagent costs 100,000,000 yuan. Which of you can afford it? I seem to remember that you all only earn 6,000 yuan per month, right? How long do you need to save for this amount of money? Will your entire life even be enough? Since you can¡¯t even get enough money, what¡¯s the point of these scores? What difference is this from you guysparing your penis length every single day? You, 28 centimeters. Him, 22 centimeters. He, 30 centimeters. How proud? So what? You guys are almost 40 years old now, yet which of you has a girlfriend? Apart from making your hands tired, what is the point of the length of your penises?"

    Shua!

    They allpsed into silence. They exchanged nces, feeling extremely awkward. A simr scene yed out everywhere. Thepetition of one¡¯s score waspletely unrted to one¡¯s present strength. Rather, one¡¯s potential in the power of beyond could be said to be something based on an entirely different system. It was rumored that even a certain beyond-A-ss warrior only scored a pitiful 10 points when evaluated. It had truly been hard for him when he¡¯d first broken through into beyond A ss all those years ago.

    Presently, our dearest Chen Feng was looking at the screen with a worried expression as well, "Your potential is rated at one point. Evaluation: idiot, almost incapable ofprehending."

    One point? Chen Feng¡¯s expression darkened. Even if theprehension was unrted to one¡¯s strength, wasn¡¯t one point too excessive?

    Shua!

    He turned hismunication tool on. Thepany that had manufactured this wristband was truly annoying. After the release of the evaluator chip, they had speedily added a column beside the names of the people in one¡¯s contact list to indicate their score.

    Mhm...

    That¡¯s right. This score was now avable for everyone to see. Moreover, there would be such a prompt: "Congrattions. Your potential has now surpassed X% of gic warriors worldwide."

    ???

    This was too excessive. He had never expected that such a thing that was somon in his previous world would be implemented in such a well-practiced manner here in this world as well. Rather unfortunately, he had never surpassed more than 50% of other users in that certain game during his previous life, not even once. As he thought of it, he suddenly recalled that there was indeed a certain aspect where he had surpassed a lot of people. He had a record for time spent online in one sitting that surpassed 99% of other users. Time online: 98 minutes 24 seconds. A beautiful number.

    Shua!

    A window popped up on his screen.

    "Congrattions. Your potential has now surpassed 0% of gic warriors worldwide."

    Chen Feng¡¯s face was expressionless.

    Xu Fei left ament. "Hahahahahahahahahaha!"

    Kong Bai left ament. "Hehehehehehehe."

    Wang Chun left ament. "66666666666."

    Qin Haimented, "..."

    Chen Feng sighed. "I truly have bad taste in friends." He checked their scores. Xu Fei had 88 points, Kong Bai had 99 points, and Wang Chun had 86 points, while Qin Hai only had 60 points, but that did not matter, since he had already reached beyond A ss long ago. Perhaps he could research this.

    Perhaps by analyzing our simrity and attributes, I will obtain some results. Chen Feng sunk into contemtion. After a long time, by using an analogy, Chen Feng obtained his verdict, "Could it be that the uglier one is, the higher the score?"

    Spirit: "..."

    "Forget it. The sample size is too small to reach a proper conclusion."

    Chen Feng sighed. Even if he was able to obtain a result, it no longer mattered much to him. He might as well let the Research Agency be the ones busying with this. What he should focus on presently was entering beyond B ss. Despite the fact that everything seemed peaceful presently, something might happen at any time.

    The threat of the devil and ancient races was akin to a hanging sword that could fall on one¡¯s head at any time. As such, before that actually happened, he had be even more powerful. This was also why the humans across the globe were presently trying to increase their strength. It was still better to grasp one¡¯s own future in one¡¯s own hand. Now that the distribution of the beyond X gene reagent had stabilized, Chen Feng could finally start charging toward beyond B ss.

    "It¡¯s time."

    He inhaled. As the general manager of this Beyond X project, every single action of Chen Feng¡¯s was focused by a countless amount of people. The moment he prepared to start, all the preparations were alreadypleted for him.

    The Gic Union disyed the utmost sincerity when serving him. "We have been waiting for you."

    The Research Agency joined in as well. "If you require anything, please do let us know."

    The employees of the Gene Production Association prepared everything for him. "The beyond X gene reagent is already prepared."

    "Many thanks." Chen Feng did notment much on all this. On that day, under numerous gazes, Chen Feng prepared to take the beyond X gene reagent.

    Naturally, before using the gene reagent, the evaluation of his potential was a must. After all, only by knowing his score could the Gene Production Association have an idea how many bottles of gene reagent they would need to prepare for him. With surety, when they saw Chen Feng¡¯s score, they were all rmed.

    "One percent?"

    "Idiot? What evaluation is this?"

    Everyone was dumbstruck. This was a never-before-seen evaluation. Even the Research Agency that had created the chip was rather dumbstruck as well. Wasn¡¯t such an evaluation reserved for thosemoners who had never trained in the slightest? Why had Chen Feng been evaluated this way?

    The employee of the Gene Production Association probed carefully as he asked the person from the Research Agency, "How many bottles of gene reagent do we need prepare for this, then?"

    "Oh." The person from the Research Agency wiped his cold sweat before stating hesitantly, "How about... taking everything you have in the warehouse?"

    Everyone else: "..."

    Amid the boundless darkness, a huge pair of eyes was gazing at the human world, watching the aura of the power of beyond that was blooming incessantly. Such majesty truly caused him to feel fear.

    The ice-cold voice descended like the descent of winter. "Humans... have actually walked an entirely different path?" They were aware that no S sses existed among humans. With the short life span of humanity, by the time one of them reached peak A ss, that person¡¯s life span would already be ending soon. The remaining time would not be sufficient for that person to actually break through the barrier and reach S ss.

    But then, they had never expected that humans would actually walk a different path, the path of the power of beyond. The appearance of this power caused the power of humans to rise greatly. The previous limit of humanity was A ss, yet now, it had changed into beyond A ss. With the present ssification humans had for their warriors, the strongest existence should be ssified as beyond A9?

    Naturally, regardless of how powerful the power of beyond was, it was nothingpared to S ss. The effect brought forward by the power gene of S ss far surpassed the ordinary gic realm of gic warriors. This single advancement was supposed to be something none of the gic warrior¡¯s previous advancements couldpare with.

    Of course, they were not worried about this, as humans couldn¡¯t really enter S ss. The only thing that worried them was the appearance of this power of beyond. This might very well increase humanity¡¯s cultivation speed by two times, three times, or perhaps even more. The time required for them to reach their present limit of beyond A ss would also decrease, and the act of reaching humanity¡¯s limit would also be easier. At that time, S ss would no longer seem that far away.

    "Go investigate. I want to know, what exactly this so-called beyond X gene reagent is."

    "All right."

    Shua!

    Two gusts of mist drifted through the air.

    Presently, at the Gic Union.

    "Are you done?" Chen Feng nced at them with a doubtful expression. What were these fellows muttering about at the corner?

    "Yes, we¡¯re done." The person from the Gic Union adjusted his expression. "Everything is already prepared. You can start consuming the gene reagent."

    "Good." Chen Feng started consuming the gene reagent immediately.

    Bang!

    Gold radiance erupted from him.

    The unique radiance shone brightly as the power within Chen Feng¡¯s body transformed in a sh. All his energy changed qualitatively. In that single instant, he had a feeling that he was iparably powerful. Beyond, this was an entirely different power.

    "Spirit, have you felt it?"

    "Mhm, your power is transforming under the effect of this power. However, if this power disappears, this transformation will disappear as well..."

    "Correct."

    Chen Feng shut his eyes. The formidable power had already ended. However, he was still immersed in theprehension of that power. With both his eyes shut, he recalled the feel of this power without stop. If that power could be blended into his body and he no longer needed to rely on external power to maintain that state, making it a true fusion...

    "Spirit, analyze my earlier status."

    "All right."

    Shua!

    Countless data flicked past the screen, indicating all the minute changes in Chen Feng¡¯s body earlier.

    "Where are you..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s gazed ahead sharply. One ought to know that this beyond X gene reagent was something he had personally created. Even the form had been created by him. As such, he was aware that the main function of this gene reagent had always been its function as a catalyst. Everything that brought about the power of beyond was already within Chen Feng¡¯s body, waiting to be activated by some catalyst. When these things bloomed with the power of beyond, the entire process had been recorded by Spirit.

    "Let¡¯s see... how toplete this transformation without using any catalysts."

    Chen Feng stepped into this bizarre world. For others, theirprehension of this power of beyond relied on talent, seeking that faintly discernible yet mysterious feeling. The moment one found the correct feeling, one would be able to break through easily. As for Chen Feng, he preferred doing things from the basics, understanding exactly how the process went, looking for the exact trigger.

    "Found you!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. Presently, the people present looked at the motionless Chen Feng and started exchanging nces.

    "I suppose Boss has yet to discover that he has a low potential."

    "Sigh, Boss has always been busy with research. I suppose he never expected that his potential would actually be this low. With this, I truly have no idea how long he will require to grasp the power of beyond."

    They all felt rather regretful.

    "Prepare more gene reagents for him."

    The person from the Gic Union nced at the people from the Gene Production Association, "No matter what, he is still humanity¡¯s strongest producer."

    The Gene Production Association spoke tyrannically. "Don¡¯t worry. Even if he can¡¯t reach beyond B ss naturally, we will still produce a sufficient number of gene reagents, enabling him to trigger the power of beyond any time he wants."

    However, the power of beyond one hadprehended was still different from the power of beyond triggered by a gene reagent. Chen Feng had contributed greatly to this project, yet unexpectedly, this contribution of his couldn¡¯t really help himself.

    "What a pity..."

    They exchanged nces and saw the regret in their eyes. Right this moment.

    Bang!

    Suddenly, a sh of gold erupted from Chen Feng¡¯s body. That dazzling radiance was akin to a surging river, almost blinding the people there.

    Hum¡ª

    The gold radiance surged. Thatparatively ordinary power around Chen Feng became extremely terrifying. This remained for a short instant before his power returned to its previous state. He opened his eyes. A terrifying gold radiance shone from his eyes. This was the remaining power from his eruption earlier.

    This...

    Everyone widened their eyes and watched this scene with unbelieving expressions. Chen Feng had not said anything, yet they had still felt that powerful and familiar power. That was the power of beyond B ss! He had actually broken through just like that?

    They gulped and asked cautiously, "Have you broken through?"

    "Yes." Chen Feng looked at them with an odd expression. "What were you guys muttering about earlier?"

    Shua!

    Instantly, everyone sunk into silence. They all exchanged nces and remained in a long stupor. One single attempt, and just like that, he¡¯d broken through? Was this the one who had scored one point for his potential? Was this the so-called "nearly impossible toprehend" as stated by the chip? They all looked at the person from the Research Agency.

    The person from the Research Agency panicked as well. "Has there been an error?"

    The data they had used as a basis had been collected from a sample size of several tens of thousands of people. It was supposed to be correct. Hastily, he told the researchers to once again verify their data. s, after the verification, no problems whatsoever were found. Nowadays, their sample size was no longer that small. No less than 10 million people had used their chip and uploaded their results. Even with such arge sample size, no problems were found with their calction. This was especially true for those who had scored simrly to Chen Feng. Nearly all of them weremoners, and none of them had any chance of breaking through.

    "That Chen Feng..."

    The person from the Research Agency was dumbstruck. If news of someone with such a low scoreprehending the power of beyond in a single attempt spread, the uracy of their chip would most probably start being doubted.

    The boss of the Research Agency sighed. "Change the data for Chen Feng."

    "Change to what?"

    "Change his rating to legendary."

    "..."

    Only now did the people there recover from their stupor and start congratting Chen Feng. Chen Feng curled his lip, as he was aware of what these people had been thinking earlier. However...

    He clenched both his fists tightly. He could clearly feel that power coursing within him. If the power coursing within him could have been described as a clear spring previously, presently, this power could be described as a violent tsunami. Even if he was still a B ss, his power now...

    Bang!

    With a single punch, the earth seemed to quake. This was the power of beyond B ss. When wielded by someone like Chen Feng, who had initially already been capable of transcending sses when battling, this power appeared even more powerful.

    "It seems like I have reached the bottleneck to A ss."

    Chen Feng smiled. From A1 to A9, from beyond A1 to beyond A9, he truly wanted to see how far could he reach. Right at this moment, an employee rushed into the room, "Boss Chen, headquarters sent us a message. Traces of the ancient race have been found at the marketce."

 Chapter 522: Ancient Race Project

    Chapter 522: Ancient Race Project

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Ancient race...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. Finally, they had appeared. With the appearance of something as major as the beyond X gene reagent, the ancient race would most definitely not sit around doing nothing. Although humans were still weaker than the ancient race, the intelligence of humans was most definitely above these ancient beings. The Gic Union had already deployed someone to pay attention to any actions of the ancient race. And now, as expected, traces of the ancient race had been found. But then, the marketce, huh? Chen Feng contemted.

    "Based on the information received, someone is buying beyond X gene reagents at the ck market. That person is a human, but based on the file provided by you, this is a person who was once a member of the Mysterious Organization," the employee reported.

    "Mhm." Chen Feng nodded. This was yet another one of Chen Feng¡¯s contribution. Back then, after the destruction of the Mysterious Organization headquarters, Chen Feng had returned and submitted a brand new file highlighting all members of the Mysterious Organization. As such, nearly all ex-members of the Mysterious Organization from back then were known.

    Naturally, the ancient race had yet to realize that this information had already been leaked. As for the file submitted by Chen Feng, this was naturally not something stolen by Chen Feng when he went undercover back then. Rather, this was a file that Qin Hai had subsequently given him. Those members of the Mysterious Organization had probably never guessed that their very boss was the spy in their organization.

    "What are they looking for?"

    "Form."

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "Isn¡¯t the form avable at the market as well?" After all, the information about the form and required materials for this beyond X gene reagent was entirely public.

    "This is not what they want. Rather, they are looking for the initial form," the employee stated.

    "Is that so?" Chen Feng smiled. Indeed. The people of the ancient race had indeed attempted to decipher the beyond X form, yet they¡¯d failed to either take it apart or even improve it. As such, they were presently looking for the initial form, the earliest form of this form during its conception.

    "Why do they want the initial form?" someone asked doubtfully.

    "Cough, cough." The employee nced at Chen Feng. Noting that Chen Feng did not seem to object to it, he exined, "After the release of this beyond X gene reagent, we also released a single rumor at the market: the initial version of this form is something usable for all races. Since we were afraid that something would go wrong, we optimized a certain gene of this reagent before encrypting it, making it something only usable by humans."

    "Ah?" They were all dumbstruck. "But then, we didn¡¯t apply any encryption to it."

    The employeeughed. "The ancient race is not aware of this. They failed to decipher it. Naturally, they will assume that an encryption has been applied. They can¡¯t use the gene reagent like humans, so naturally, they will assume that we optimized the reagent for human use only."

    "So that¡¯s the case."

    Everyone gained understanding. But then, what was the point of this?

    "Since the ancient race is trying to get their hands on this form, naturally, the same applies to the devil race. If so, we shall give them a nonoptimized version, then," Chen Feng stated calmly.

    Everyone was rmed. "Are we giving it to them for real?"

    "Yes." Chen Feng sneered. "But we still need to somewhat amend the form. Weaken the effect of the beyond X gene reagent by 50% and tell them that this is the edition that has not been optimized for human usage. Although all races can use it, the effect is somewhat weaker."

    The employee nodded. "Understood."

    The unspoken meaning behind this was now rather clear. If the ancient race and devil race wanted to have a version of beyond X gene reagent as powerful as what humans had, they would have to "optimize" the form themselves, creating an version only for their race. Chen Feng was certain that this would be sufficient to waste a huge amount of resources of both the ancient race and devil race.

    "Remove sighing grass from the form," Chen Feng said. "Rece it with a different herb with a simr function. I remember that back then, when I tried doing this, the effect of the reagent was reduced by around 40%, pitifully weak."

    "Understood." The employee noted everything that was asked. Even if the difference between 50% and 100% did not appear that huge, in truth, for something that requiredprehension like this, such a difference was extremely huge. Even if, theoretically, the difference was a mere 50%, how would one be able toprehend the power of beyond from an iplete product? As such, this gene reagent Chen Feng prepared for them was in fact a huge trap.

    Some of them were worried. "What if they actually manage to optimize it?"

    Chen Feng shook his head. "It won¡¯t happen. Form optimization is merely the beginning of this trap for them. Apart from this, activate the feminization project we halted on the form previously. I want to add more functions into this version of the form that will be leaked to the ancient race. With the materials required to add the feminization function to the gene reagent mixed together with the original materials of the beyond X form, the difficulty in deciphering the form will increase greatly. I refuse to believe that they will be able to handle that.

    "Apart from that, release some gene reagents that were produced with this modified form to the market as well. Sell them at the ck market at 30 million yuan, emphasizing that this is the ¡¯first edition¡¯ that has yet to go through optimization that makes it something only usable for humans. A first edition that is usable for all races, but with a weaker effect."

    As Chen Feng finished his words, the hearts of everyone around him thumped nervously. Fem...feminization? This canceled project was ultimately resumed and released as a special ancient race edition.

    "What about the devil race, then?" asked the employee.

    "Although they do not have any spies among humans, since the ancient race is already making their move, the devil race will not sit around waiting."

    "Hehehehe."

    ****

    Unknown region.

    Ancient race.

    Amid the golden radiance, an ancient race male was seated on the ground. All around him, a faint aura shimmered, giving him a rather unordinary feeling akin to an immortal. Before him was a crude-looking gene reagent. This gene reagent appeared extremely ordinary, yet he could clearly feel the power contained within it.

    "This is the beyond X gene reagent that has been so popr recently?" he asked curiously.

    "Yes," the kneeling underling replied. "This is the first edition, which we managed to purchase. This is an edition usable by all races. We have already tested this on 30 devil ves, and their strength indeed greatly increased momentarily after using this reagent. Unfortunately, the ves are too stupid and failed toprehend the power of beyond."

    "Oh?" His interest was piqued. A great increase in strength?

    "Has anyone seeded inprehending the power of beyond so far?" He could not avoid being curious about this human item that was capable of granting the power of beyond.

    "Yes," the underling replied. "A few days ago, the Xie family purchased a huge amount of this reagent. Everyone in their family is allowed to use it. It is said that the heir of the Xie family managed to break through after consuming only a single gene reagent."

    He was somewhat astonished. "How¡¯s his present strength?"

    A single bottle? What genius... Xie family...

    "Due to this feat, the Xie family became well known and is admired by countless people. Someone indeed stepped forth and extended a challenge toward that heir. It is said that prior to that, both of them were at a simr level of strength, but now, that person is no longer a match to that heir, and that person suffered a crushing defeat." The underling continued with a low voice, "The heir¡¯s strength had increased dramatically."

    "Thanks to this item?" Finally, he picked up the gene reagent. Beyond X gene reagent...

    Suddenly, the underling called out, "Lord."

    He nced over. "Mhm?"

    "Please wait a moment," the underling stated while trembling. "Based on the current data we have gathered from the humans, although one¡¯s power will increase greatly afterprehending the power of beyond, theprehension of this power is totally unrted to one¡¯s talent. Countless human geniuses failed toprehend this power even after consuming several dozens or even several hundreds of this reagent. Therefore..." The underling did not dare to continue his words.

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Ah." He chuckled. "Are you worried that I will take out my anger on you after failing to break through? Don¡¯t worry. I am well aware of the result."

    He shook his head slightly. Gulp! The gene reagent was consumed. At that instant, an incredibly formidable power could be felt. That instant, a feeling like he was unrivaled under the heavens even arose in him. Such power... He remained in a stupor for a long time.

    So, this is the power of beyond? So, such is the prowess one stands to gain afterprehending the concept of beyond?

    If he had such power in his grasp, how many people in this world would be his match? As the future of the ancient race, he had to make himself the strongest of the ancient race. This was a power he had to make his. Simr to everyone else who¡¯d once had a taste of this power of beyond, he became addicted to this feeling of power and incapable of forgetting the strength he¡¯d had at that instant. This applied to even this prince of the ancient race.

    "This thing, I want more of them," he stated with a sharp gaze. Suddenly, he recalled something. "Oh, right. Did anyone notice youing?"

    The underling was puzzled. "Yes. Some people saw me. Why?"

    The prince: "..." As he saw the confusion in his underling, he could only shake his head. What an idiotic fellow...

    "How many of this thing can you get?" he asked solemnly. He was aware that this gene reagent he had just consumed was different than the version those humans were selling. As such, he was rather worried about the supply.

    "No worries. Thanks to the Mysterious Organization, we have a huge amount of humans under our control. After obtaining the form, they have already started mass-manufacturing these gene reagents for us. Despite the destruction of the Mysterious Organization¡¯s headquarters, their core members still remain," the underling replied respectfully. "The advice of that senior has already been sought. He indeed gave us a lot of assistance. Presently, the entire Mysterious Organization is serving us, the ancient race, secretly."

    That senior, huh... At the mention of that senior, the prince recalled that darkness akin to a ck ink. "Got it," he replied in a deep voice. If so, he no longer needed to worry about the output of the gene reagent. "Then I need more of this gene reagent. One thousand, ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand, I want them all," he stated with a sharp gaze.

    "All right." The underling remained in a kneeling position. Despite the high cost of production, the ancient race still had rather valuable things in their possession that could be sold for money. Every single item they took out was akin to rare treasure for the humans. He believed that they had sufficient wealth to afford it. Despite his doubts about the sudden increase in the price of the materials for production, when he recalled the problems the humans seemed to have with sighing grass, he no longer found this increase in price odd.

    Indeed, when a material was purchased in such bulk, the market price of the material would most certainly increase.

    "Additionally..." The prince paused before continuing, "Announce to the outsiders that I have alsoprehended the power of beyond with a single attempt."

    "Ah?" The underling appeared dumbstruck. A single... attempt? He gazed at his lord and noted that this lord did not seem like he had actuallyprehended the power of beyond...

    The prince did not feel like exining further. "Just do as I said."

    "Understood." The underling gained a slight understanding of the prince¡¯s intention.

    "You may leave now. Arrange all this as soon as possible," the princemanded in a low voice.

    "Understood." The underling left.

    As for the prince, he remained in a stupor. Looking at the empty gene reagent bottle in his hand, he nked. This was something he had to obtain. If he could control the supply of this thing in the dark, that would be even better. As for his so-called sess in a single attempt, that was also a lie he¡¯d had no choice but to make.

    If the heir of the Xie family could break through with a single attempt yet he, the illustrious prince of the ancient race, required ten bottles or even twenty bottles for the same feat, wouldn¡¯t that be a joke? For the dignity of the imperial n, he had to ensure that nominally, he was someone who had seeded in a single attempt, as he was a genius.

    "Seems like I will have to hide myself indoor for a while, then."

    He shut his eyes. Before fullyprehending the power of beyond, he would have to remain in a temporary seclusion. However, he suddenly thought of a possibility. Was it possible that the kid from the Xie family had also created such a lie just for the sake of pride? Shortly after, the prince shook his head and discarded such a line of thought. This did not seem likely.

    After all, that Xie kid was also the first of them to have seeded. Perhaps he was truly a genius when it came toprehension of the power of beyond. The prince shook his head, no longer thinking about this. He calmed himself down and waited for the next batch of gene reagents to be delivered to him.

    Presently, at the Xie family that was so far away from the ancient race, several elders of the Xie family were staring anxiously at a report. All their countermeasures were already in ce, yet they still couldn¡¯t avoid being constantly anxious. That was because, presently, the reputation of the Xie family had grown toorge.

    They were well aware of the fact that regardless of what it was, the first was always the one who reaped the greatest rewards as well. As such, the moment their family had gotten their hands on the gene reagents, a huge amount of the beyond X gene reagent had been used to push their heir toward that metaphorical throne, the throne of beyond.

    In a single day, a thousand beyond X gene reagents had been consumed to enable their heir to break through. Naturally, they had announced to the public that their heir had instead broken through after only a single attempt. Due to that, the reputation of the Xie family had increased greatly, gaining both fame and fortune. Moreover, countless people visited them requesting advice. The Xie family had seemingly gone up a level.

    s, it was unexpected that before even a single day had passed, the prince of the ancient race had announced that he had alsoprehended the power of beyond. Simrly, hisprehension hade after only a single attempt.

    Shortly after, numerous members of the imperial n and the heirs of various major families all announced one after another that they hadprehended the power of beyond. In a single day, these geniuses had actually allprehended the power of beyond.

    With this, all of their power had increased. It could be said that the entirety of the elites of the young of the ancient race had entered the realm of superexperts.

    Naturally, those elders who had been in seclusion were not willing to fall behind. As such, they started researching the power of beyond as well. One monthter, even these elders hadprehended the power of beyond, increasing their strength greatly.

    How strong had these people been initially? It was unknown. But now, their strength had be deep and immeasurable. The ancient race was different from the humans. Each of them was almost fanatical in their pursuit of power. As such, they had exhausted all methods avable to them for the increase in strength.

    As such, this scene that even Chen Feng had not foreseen appeared.

    In one month, the genius experts of the ancient race had entered the realm of beyond.

    In two months, the majority of the experts of the ancient race had entered the realm of beyond.

    In three months, the elder experts of the ancient race had entered the realm of beyond.

    In four months, almost all the experts of the ancient race had entered the realm of beyond.

    As of now, apart from the poverty-strickenmoners of the lowest levels of the ancient race, most of them had already entered the realm of beyond, bing superexperts in the truest sense. They had actually reached this level even faster than humanity.

    The entirety of the ancient race had transformed. Presently, Chen Feng, who had obtained this news, was dumbstruck. This... did not seem to have gone ording to what he had nned! Wasn¡¯t this a n devised to weaken the ancient race? Wasn¡¯t this a way to suppress the growth of the ancient race? Why had this instead increased the strength of the ancient race this much?

    Chen Feng was stunned. The Gic Union was stunned. All of humanity was stunned. This, this, this... how had this happened?

    "Hold on. Let me gather my thoughts." Chen Feng remained in a daze for a long time. When he awoke from his daze, he forced himself to calm down before starting to ponder this matter. "Firstly," Chen Feng started with a solemn expression, "the form they got is confirmed to be the one we modified, right?"

    The employee nodded his head with a heavy mood. "Yes. In this form, sighing grass is not used. Rather, it was de-optimized, recing the sighing grass with a whole bunch of other trash materials."

    Chen Feng had a solemn expression. "Secondly, the price of all those trash materials has increased, right?"

    The employee checked the data. "Yes. Although the recement materials are all the most useless for humans¡ªmaterials that even when thrown on the ground, nobody would want to pick¡ªeven after increasing the growth of these materials, the monthly sales volume of these materials is still astonishing terrifying."

    Chen Feng: "...Is the ancient race this rich?"

    He was amazed.

    "No idea. But presently, in human markets, a lot of rare treasures originating from the ancient race have appeared. Our scientists have used these things to ascertain the level of technology the ancient race is at, their quality of life, and the environment in which they stay. Due to the huge amount of ancient race treasures that have appeared, we have obtained quite arge amount of information. It can be said that even though we have never seen an ancient race member before, they are already a transparent species in our eyes. Presently, we are in the midst of figuring out their weaknesses," the person from the Research Agency stated proudly.

    So that¡¯s the case. Chen Feng exhaled in relief. It was good that there was still something to be gained from releasing that modified form to the ancient race. However, the entire ancient race¡¯s increase in strength caused him to feel rather anxious. This wouldn¡¯t do. Even if humanity had been enriched thanks to the modified form, even if humanity had progressed deeply in their research on the ancient race, this was, after all, still the power of beyond.

    "Based on the information we obtained, a lot of people in the ancient race managed toprehend the power of beyond in less than 10 attempts." The employee¡¯s head ached as well. "Several of their well-known geniuses evenprehended the power of beyond in a single attempt. As for those not as well known, they still managed toprehend it in around five or six attempts."

    "A single attempt..."

    Everyone was stunned. That was, after all, a weakened version of what they were using. Even among humans, those scoring 99 points in potential would still require at least several dozen bottles before they managed toprehend the power of beyond, yet a huge number of the ancient race hadprehended the power of beyond in less than 10 attempts? How ridiculous was that? How... could it be so easy?

    The form the ancient race had obtained was the modified version, and the cost of production had also been manipted so it would be much higher. How exactly did these ancient race fellows work? Chen Feng had no idea. However, there was indeed a person who should clearly know exactly how this happened.

    Du¡ª

    Chen Feng contacted Qin Hai directly. After a long time, Qin Hai answered the call. With an odd expression, he gazed at Chen Feng before sighing. "I truly admire you."

    "????"

    Chen Feng was dumbfounded. Admire? What was there to admire?

    "This beyond X scheme of yours is too smooth," Qin Haimented. "I once tried imagining how bitter the battle between humans and the ancient race would be. However, I truly never imagined that you would use such a method to eliminate the entire ancient race..."

    Chen Feng remained stupefied. "???"

    What? What did this mean?

    Qin Hai continued with aplicated expression. "I¡¯m talking about your scheme. The ancient race is finished."

    "Ah???" Chen Feng was still stupefied. He had just received news that the entire ancient race hadprehended the power of beyond. Why was it that when it came to Qin Hai, he was instead saying that the ancient race was finished?

    Chen Feng had an expression of amazement. "My scheme?"

    "You don¡¯t know about it?" Qin Hai had an odd expression. "Wasn¡¯t the form obtained by the ancient race something you secretly arranged for them to obtain?"

    Chen Feng nodded. "Yes, that¡¯s indeed so."

    "If so, that¡¯s your scheme, then." Qin Hai forced a smile. "For the present ancient race, their economic strength haspletely copsed. The entire civilization has copsed, returned to the primitive era..."

    Chen Feng was shocked. "Why?"

    "Because of your beyond X gene reagent." Qin Hai forced another smile. "It¡¯s truly too expensive. In the start, they did not think much about it. However, when bottle after bottle of gene reagent is consumed, thebined cost is truly high. Crucially, the various factions of the ancient race had initially preserved a bnce of power. When someone with the power of beyond appeared in one of them, the other factions had had to ensure that the same happened to them as well. As such, almost all factions went crazy in their purchasing of gene reagents just to obtain the power of beyond even if it would bankrupt them. Naturally, all of them are still putting on a fa?ade that they are as well off as before, iming how they seeded in less than 10 attempts, while in truth, they only seeded in theirprehension after several thousand attempts." Qin Hai sighed. "As such, the entire ancient race is so poor they have to eat tree bark as meals nowadays."

    Chen Feng: "..." What in the world? For real? He was aware of how terrifying an economic copse was, even when it was happening to the ancient race rather than to humans.

    "At the beginning, the various factions had merely reduced the number of servants they employed and the wages paid. Everyone had yet to feel like something was wrong with this, but then, gradually, more and more refugees appeared. These people wanted to stay alive as much as anyone, right? As such, arson, murder, robbery, all these crimes appeared, throwing the entire ancient race into chaos. Even now, the experts of the ancient race are still upied with suppressing the chaos in their respective territories. Despite the strength and the huge amount of experts those major factions have, their territories were still thrown into quite the chaos, since the ancient race was having trouble even getting a full meal now, as they are striving to merely stay alive now," Qin Hai finished.

    As for Chen Feng, his mouth was stuck agape. This... had actually happened to the ancient race? One ought to know that when he¡¯d first thought of this scheme, he had merely intended to suppress the growth of the ancient race so he could make a long-term n, yet who could have guessed that the ancient race was actually this crazy? But then, this was not necessarily good for humanity. The ancient race¡¯s economy had copsed and sunk into chaos.

    It might seem fine for humanity, yet the moment the ancient race experts were done suppressing the chaos, the ancient race, whose economy had copsed, wouldy their eyes on humanity. With the present strength of the ancient race...

    "How long will they need to suppress the chaos?" Chen Feng asked suddenly.

    Qin Hai shook his head. "No idea. The chaos is progressing with a snowball effect, but since the ancient race experts have been strengthened with the power of beyond, I suppose they will not need long for that."

    "Oh." Chen Feng sank into contemtion. Ancient race...

    "You only need to be somewhat vignt about this and that will do." Qin Hai frowned and continued, "By the way, I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because of the chaos or something else, but those ancient race experts that I know have seemed somewhat different recently."

    Different? Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. Yes, why had he forgotten that?

    "They feel somewhat weird nowadays. Somewhat..." Qin Hai could not think of the word to be used to describe them.

    Chen Feng smiled. "Feminized?"

    "Yes!" Qin Hai continued, "Eh? Howe you know about that?"

    Chen Fengughed. "Hehe." He had initially believed that this scheme would take a long time to work. After all, if they were to consume the gene reagent in an ordinary fashion, at least a hundred years would be required for it to produce any substantial effect within the ancient race. Unexpectedly, the ancient race was so crazy in their pursuit of strength. Thanks to their hunger for strength, they had instead pushed themselves to the brink of elimination much earlier than expected. If it was truly as Qin Hai had described, then the ancient race indeed no longer had a future.

    "This is what I did." Chen Feng exined his feminization scheme to Qin Hai.

    As Qin Hai listened on, he was dumbstruck. It was obvious that it was simply impossible that those so-called geniuses had been able toprehend the power of beyond with a single attempt. Without much thought, Qin Hai already knew that those fellows had actually secretly consumed quite a huge number of beyond X gene reagents to obtainprehension. Now, if what Chen Feng told him was true...

    Qin Hai started sweating as he thought of it.

    "You hadn¡¯t consumed any of the new gene reagents, right?" Chen Feng asked with a sinister expression.

    Qin Hai scolded without hesitation, "Scram! I was one of the participants in your beyond X tests back then. Since I am aware that you have a better edition of this gene reagent, why would I have taken any of trash they are taking?"

    Chen Feng smiled. "Hehe." He had indeed assisted Qin Hai¡¯s breakthrough into the realm of beyond. This was a rather easy feat for Qin Hai, who had already been a genius. Moreover, the version of gene reagent he¡¯d used was Chen Feng¡¯s best version. As such, the effect was even better. This was also thanks to the ancient race. Using the wealth earned from the ancient race, humanity¡¯s research and gene production level had progressed greatly.

    Qin Hai was anxious. "What are you nning to do next?" Although the ancient race no longer had a future, they were still here in the present. The present ancient race was exceptionally powerful. If humanity were to end up identally eliminated by the ancient race, the final result would be the mutual destruction of both races, and the devil race would be the one who profited from all this.

    Chen Feng smiled toyingly. "Don¡¯t worry. I naturally have a way of dealing with that."

    "That¡¯s good, then." Qin Hai did not put much thought into these words of Chen Feng¡¯s. On the next day, an extremely astonishing piece of news was released. For humanity, this was extremely ordinary news, but for the ancient race, this was akin to disaster.

    "Bluemoon grass and a whole bunch of other medicinal herbs have increased greatly in price due to the huge increase in demand. After three months of research by the Research Agency, a brand new farming method has been discovered, finally greatly reducing the price of these herbs by around a hundred times, returning these herbs to their initial prices before all this."

    This was thetest report from the Research Agency. The materials affected here were astonishingly all the materials included in the form that the ancient race obtained. As such, the cost of production for the ancient race¡¯s beyond X gene reagent became incredibly cheap, resulting in the supply of this gene reagent on the ancient race¡¯s market increasing greatly. This caused the ancient race to go crazy.

    The various major ancient race families were stupefied. "Why did this happen?" They had never expected that this gene reagent that had still been an extremely valuablemodity a short while ago would now be amonmodity. This item that they had previously obtained after almost bankrupting their families became something everyone could afford.

    The scariest aspect of this was the effect this had on their rebels. Initially, the only advantage the major families had had over these rebels was the power of beyond. Now, the rebels were able to obtain the power of beyond as well, greatly increasing their strength.

    They were all bewildered. "How did this happen..."

    The prince was furious. "Where did those damnable gene reagentse from?"

    "No idea." The underling was rmed. "Those gene reagents flooding our market are not from any of our official suppliers. It seems like there are some unknown suppliers hauling these gene reagents into our market without stop and selling them at an extremely cheap price."

    The prince raged. "Bastard!"

    Pu!

    In his anger, his underling was killed on the spot, rming countless people around him. How many times had this happened? The temper of this prince, who had previously had a refined temperament, was bing weirder and weirder. This seemed to be happening to all their other experts as well...

    At the slightest provocation, they would start killing. Was it due to the recent chaos?

    These underlings exchanged nces and inwardly decided that perhaps it was time for them to leave, to leave this ce and return to the chaotic world outside. Now that these gene reagents were so cheap, they would be able to easily enter the realm of beyond as well. As such, on that night, a bunch of ancient race foot soldiers disappeared... Before leaving, they even remembered to take the riches of the prince with them.

    The prince was so angry that he started cursing. "Bastards!" This was uncontroble and unstoppable. As their rebels started entering the realm of beyond, the ancient race entered a stage of total chaos. Numerous major factions appeared and started fighting each other like they were savages.

    As for the beyond X gene reagent, due to how cheap and effective it was, it became a gene reagent each of these ancient race members had to have. Even a normal poverty-stricken ancient racemoner was prepared to obtain several beyond X gene reagents as their trump card.

    And now, finally, the initial effects of this feminization n showed itself. Based on the estimation of Chen Feng¡¯s group, after consuming a single bottle, the effect wouldn¡¯t be too obvious, yet the testosterone production would be somewhat inhibited. After consuming 10 bottles, the user would be somewhat feminized. Their body would start producing estrogen, and testosterone would continue being inhibited. Those who consumed 20 bottles would be greatly feminized and would no longer be able to breed. Those who had consumed 50 bottles would start losing the physical characteristics of a male. Those who had consumed 100 bottles...

    Mhm...

    This was what Chen Feng¡¯s group had intended to only happen toward the end. That was because it was simply not easy for this scheme to seed. For it to happen, a huge amount of this gene reagent was required. A long time was required for it to slowly happen as well. As such, this had initially been set up as a long-term strategy, but unexpectedly, the ancient race was actually this crazy.

    This n... had totally ignored the initial stage where, first, a sufficient amount of gene reagent had to be made avable. Rather, it had directly entered the stage where only time was required for the ancient race members to consume a sufficient amount of them. Nearly all ancient race members had consumed more than 100 bottles.

    "ording to our early tests, how long will it require for this n to disy its effect?"

    "Half a year."

    "Half a year..."

    Chen Feng calcted the time. It seemed like it was almost time? But then, the moment it reached the final stage, the ancient race would most certainly realize that something was wrong with their gene reagents. That wouldn¡¯t do. The ancient race had yet to bepletely destroyed, and the devil race had only suffered small damage so far. Mhm...

    "Seems like I have to think of something." Chen Feng sunk into contemtion.

    At present, in the ancient race¡¯s territory.

    The prince appeared. "All rebels shall be killed without mercy!" His handsome appearance and cold temperament caused numerous people to submit to him. This was the future of their ancient race! This was their ancient race¡¯s prince. After receiving the order to suppress the rebellion, the prince eliminated the enemies in a short amount of time. Once again, the power of beyond showcased an unimaginable level of strength.

    "Return," the princemanded coldly.

    "Yes."

    Countless underlings gazed at him with reverence. This was their prince, so powerful that he caused one to feel intoxicated. Without realizing it, in their reverence-filled gaze, an additional odd feeling was included as well. After returning to the camp, the prince dispersed his underlings. Next, the firm and persistent expression vanished, reced by a gentle expression. After rinsing a pot of clear water over his face, the makeup on his face was cleared, revealing a gentle yet beautiful appearance. Gazing at himself from the mirror, the prince caressed his face gently with his fingers.

    Shua!

    His clothes slid down his body. Numerous strips of white cloth were wrapped around his chest, seemingly suppressing a certain existence.

    The prince shut his eyes painfully. "Why... have I be this way?" That face of his he had seen in the mirror was actually a face so lovely one couldn¡¯t resist feelingpassion for. Was this still him? He was supposed to be the future of the ancient race!

    All this while, he had been busy dealing with the rebellion and had not had the time to consider anything else. Suddenly, one day, he had been this way. It had reached a point that he did not dare to even leave his room without first putting on makeup. Was he suffering from the ambush of some other prince? He nibbled on his lip and stomped his feet on the ground before saying, "I will most definitely find out the truth about this."

    Right as he was about to investigate this matter, some astonishing information was transmitted to him. Due to the appearance of the devil race, humanity had suffered a disastrous loss. In their anger, the experts of humanity had unleashed a legendary forbidden skill toward all nonhuman territories: Nine Yin Demonic Termination!

 Chapter 526: I Want to Make Babies with You!

    Chapter 526: I Want to Make Babies with You!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Nine Yin Demonic Termination? What in the world was that? Only after the people of the ancient race gathered some information on what that was did they turn pale from fright. It was rumored that humanity possessed two great forbidden skills. One of those great forbidden skills was Nine Yin Demonic Termination, which was capable of shrouding the area it covered with the aura of yin, causing all the life-forms within that area to lose all masculine characteristics, turning them all into females.

    The second forbidden skill was called Golden Titanium Skill, which was capable of causing all female life-forms in the area it shrouded to be pregnant with sons of unknown fathers. Both these skills were extremely dreadful and originated from a forbidden skill named Supreme Ultimate. During the past countless years, despite the fact that the inheritance of this Supreme Ultimate had been severed, the two forbidden skills originating from it remained.

    "Teehee. How is it possible for something like that to exist?"

    "Yep, yep."

    "I suppose the humans were too shocked by our strength and purposely made up some stories to sway our mind. Teehee."

    "True, and they are trying to scam this person here? How funny."

    "The both of you..."

    "?"

    "No, there¡¯s nothing."

    "Hmph, how annoying is it to face someone who never finishes his words."

    "Right, right."

    "..."

    It was also at this time that these ancient race experts that had been busy with war all these days finally had the time to observe their bodies properly. With shock, they discovered something scary.

    "God!"

    "How did this happen..."

    "Annoying, this person here lost my ding dong."

    "Wu, wu, same here."

    "Ah ah ah, this person here is a masculine male." [1] 1

    "..."

    As for the ancient race members that were originally females, they watched all this, stupefied. Looking at how their brothers transformed into sisters, how their fathers transformed into mothers...what exactly was going on with this world? Nine Yin Demonic Termination... The forbidden skill of humans was this terrifying?

    "Those must be separate incidents."

    Everyone hoped that this was indeed the case. s, as they continued their observation, they noted that more and more of the ancient race males had been feminized. Even those respected elders couldn¡¯t avoid this fact, even those top-notch experts.

    Their hearts chilled. "It¡¯s over."

    Only now did those people, including the prince, realize what exactly was it that had happened. So it turned out that recently, they had fallen victim to humanity¡¯s Nine Yin Demonic Termination? Only now did the ancient race start taking the humans¡¯ announcement seriously.

    "Regardless of what forbidden skill it is, to activate it, we humans most certainly had to pay a huge price. As such, we truly hope not to use such forbidden skills. We humans have always wished to live together in harmony with the ancient race. Hopefully, the ancient race will no longer involve themselves in the affairs of the humans and devil race. Otherwise, we don¡¯t mind activating the second forbidden skill as well..."

    This announcement was short and simple, yet it caused one¡¯s heart to thump in horror. Second forbidden skill? The mere thought of that caused the ancient race members to feel fear. That titanium something skill? The very forbidden skill capable of causing all females to be pregnant with children of unknown fathers? They pictured the scene where those unrivaled heroes of the ancient race that had been forcefully transformed into females were forced to get pregnant and even partake in the act of giving birth.

    Shua!

    The entire ancient racepsed into silence. Only now did they realize what a terrifying race the humans were. Indeed, they weren¡¯t particrly powerful when it came tobat strength, but these methods avable to the humans were sufficient to nt fear in the ancient race.

    "Let¡¯s... let¡¯s focus on our own rebellions for now," the emperor decreed.

    The empress was furious. "Bastard! Where¡¯s your pride? Since the humans dared to do that to us, shouldn¡¯t we destroy them first?"

    The emperor was anxious. "But... but this person here is afraid of the second forbidden skill..."

    The empress gnashed her teeth. "Since this forbidden skill exists, a method of countering it might exist as well."

    "No, there¡¯s no need to rush," the emperor stated gently. "Why not talk after dealing with our own rebellions?"

    The empress felt like fainting. She was truly despairing.

    That was because that Nine Yin Demonic Termination not only transformed one¡¯s gender, it also transformed one¡¯s temperament. Almost all the experts underwent a huge change in their temperament. This was especially true for the experts that had been bold. The bolder they had been previously, the greater the present contrast was. Presently, in the entire ancient race, there no longer existed anyone capable of shouldering the burden of an entire race. The ancient race no longer had a future.

    Suddenly, the empress thought of something. "Oh right, those seniors." The only reason the imperial n of the ancient race had been able tost until today was due to the assistance they had received from the people of that particr ancient bloodline. Those were the true backbone of the entire ancient race. Based on the humans¡¯ strength ssifications, those experts were what one would call beyond A ss. These were true experts.

    "Yeah, look for them." Filled with expectations, the empress entered theirnd of legacy. "Dear all seniors, I wish..."

    "Aiya, isn¡¯t this the empress?"

    "Why have youe? Teehee."

    Two experts that had previously been majestic, tall, and sturdy were presently talking with the empress while forming an orchid shape with their fingers. [2] 2

    When the empress saw this, her heart chilled. She could clearly feel that these two that had initially only been A sses were now beyond A sses, bing top-notch experts like all those seniors. But then... they had also simrly been affected by that forbidden skill.

    The empress copsed. "Even those here have not survived?"

    If even this ce was shrouded by the forbidden skill, the ancient race no longer had anynd free of human influence. Right as she was despairing...

    A t voice could be heard. "Who is it?"

    Despite how cold the voice sounded, thatpletely masculine voice caused the empress to be overwhelmed by emotions, and a gush of warmth seemed to flow through her veins.

    Male! She had finally encountered a proper male! A proper ancient race male that was still alive!

    She raised her head and looked ahead. The person who had spoken was a male shrouded by a mysterious ck radiance. He was young and handsome.

    The two guards saluted him deferentially. "Lord."

    "Mhm." Qin Hai nodded slightly, looked at the empress at the door, and stated tly, "Is there anything the empress requires?"

    "It¡¯s you."

    The empress was so excited that both her legs started limping. She had heard from the legends that among those seniors, one of them had eternal youth yet extremely powerful strength. That person was precisely this senior before her, this senior with a mysterious energy around him.

    She prostrated herself before that person directly. "I beseech you, please save the ancient race!"

    Qin Hai raised his brow. "Oh?" What in the world was this?

    "The ancient race no longer has a future." The empress was able to see the truth of things clearly. "The emperor and the other ancient race members have had their gender changed and no longer have a sober mind. However, I am well aware that the ancient race is over."

    Qin Hai¡¯s heart thumped. He had never expected that this empress here was actually a person with such vision.

    "Presently, the entire ancient race isprised solely of females. Even those children that were still in D ss failed to avoid this fate. As of now, the ancient race no longer has any males. The majestic ancient race has actually transformed into a kingdom of only females!" the empressmented. Being the empress, her appearance was naturally far above others. The present her, with her pitiful appearance, was indeed rather moving. s, there was nobody here to appreciate this...

    Regardless of the stone-hearted Qin Hai or those two experts that were still busy forming orchid fingers in the distance, none could appreciate this.

    Qin Hai was extremely calm. "What do you require?"

    "I require..." The empress hesitated slightly before gently and decisively stating, "I want to make a male baby with you, for myself and for the future of the ancient race." Finishing her words, the empress continued prostrating before Qin Hai.

    Qin Hai was dumbstruck. "Ah?" The sternness he had been maintaining with difficulty copsed instantly. What in the world?

 Chapter 527: My King!

    Chapter 527: My King!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    What? Qin Hai was utterly dumbfounded. It would be reasonable for the empress to request his help, but to request having a child with him?

    "Hold on." Qin Hai remained in a long stupor.

    The empress groveled before Qin Hai. "Lord, please allow me this request."

    Qin Hai¡¯s eyes widened. "Where¡¯s the emperor?"

    "He... No, he is now a she." The empress smiled bitterly. "The entire ancient race has been feminized. At most, the emperor is nothing but my sister now."

    Qin Hai: "...How about the others?"

    The empress sighed. "It¡¯s the same. The entire ancient race, regardless of age, has be female."

    Qin Hai recalled that there were still a huge number of ancient race infants around. "How about those children?"

    The empress smiled bitterly. "They are slowly transforming as well."

    What? This totally shocked Qin Hai awake. This thing was actually much graver then they had imagined. The progress of Chen Feng¡¯s n was actually much smoother than imagined. The so-called Nine Yin Demonic Termination had in fact been a lie all along. Qin Hai was aware of that. However, for children to not even able to escape this fate...

    Only now did Qin Hai recall that this was the ancient race. The children of the ancient race would directly be D ss from birth, starting at a point much higher than humans did. The children here had great innate strength and contained a lot of energy within their body. As such, to ensure that their children would not fall behind others, these ancient race adults had most definitely fed their children beyond X gene reagents as well, hoping that even if it couldn¡¯t help their children break through, a solid foundation could still be built.

    As Qin Hai thought of this, the only thing he could do was gasp in admiration. This was the actual truth behind the so-called Nine Yin Demonic Termination.

    The crux of Chen Feng¡¯s lie was to ensure that the ancient race would not discover the problem with their version of the beyond X gene reagent and to instead let them worry about the fabricated Nine Yin Demonic Termination. At the same time, this subtly led their line of thought so they would believe only beyond-A-ss experts would not be influenced by this forbidden skill.

    A great example was Qin Hai, someone who seemed to be immune to it.

    A different example would be the fellow apprentices within thisnd of legacy.

    As those ancient race members were worried that in the future, their children would be affected by the forbidden skill, or perhaps worried that this forbidden skill would once again shroud their race, these ancient race members would most definitely try to increase their children¡¯s strength starting at a young age. From the moment of birth, numerous beyond X gene reagents would be fed to their children in the hope that they would break through faster, freeing themselves from the curse of the Nine Yin Demonic Termination.

    None of them had imagined that this entire thing had been a huge scam from the start.

    Qin Hai sighed. "Scammed by that fellow again." He was sure that this had to be the work of Chen Feng. Apart from him, who else could think of such a ruthless method of dealing with the ancient race? This was akin to an incorporeal soft knife, a soft knife that would cause the extinction of the entire ancient race. As he thought of this, Qin Hai looked toward the center of thend of legacy.

    His master, the person who was still so very terrifying even now, was still not nning to make any moves?

    "Master, what exactly are you thinking about?" Qin Hai shook his head. Among them fellow apprentices, none of them was able to grasp the thoughts of this master.

    "Senior?" The empress gazed at the seemingly spellbound Qin Hai and took the initiative to approach him. A fair and tender handnded on Qin Hai¡¯s body, jolting him awake. Promptly, he grabbed her and stopped her.

    Qin Hai shook his head. "No."

    The empress whined. "Senior..."

    "Oh, I am not the only person in the entire ancient race. There are others..." Without hesitation, Qin Hai sold off his apprentice brothers. "All of us fellow apprentices here are unaffected by that forbidden skill. I can introduce you to them. For example, Lu Hun..."

    Lu Hun¡¯s faint voice drifted out of thend of legacy. "I am a married person."

    "For example, Master Mu..."

    "I will not have any sexual intercourse with someone from a different n." This master of the White Sect, who had a white cap on his head, started exining that although they were simrly part of the ancient race, he was also part of a noble bloodline among the ancient race, the Mu n. Even someone like the empress was not qualified to bear his child. At this, the empress¡¯s face flushed with anger. When had she ever been humiliated this way?

    Qin Hai promptly put forth another name. "For example, Brother Lan..."

    This person he mentioned was the person who had built the Mysterious Organization¡¯s underground transportation system, that superexpert with a blue diamond who was capable of moving through all terrains.

    Brother Lan¡¯s unhurried voice drifted out. "I like males."

    Shua!

    The entire world seemed topse into silence.

    Brother Lan calmly continued, "If you are willing to apany me for one day, I wouldn¡¯t mind granting this empress my seed."

    Qin Hai: "..."

    The empress gazed expectantly at Qin Hai.

    What in the world are you expecting? Qin Hai did not know what to say. "What in the world is this? Damn it, Chen Feng. When I return, I will definitely teach you a lesson!" Qin Hai mumbled. But then, he¡¯d still failed to solve this present issue.

    Qin Hai smiled bitterly. "Sorry. I can¡¯t do it."

    "Will you truly watch on as the ancient race goes extinct?" the empress whined.

    Suddenly, Lu Hun said, "Leave. Forget about the issue of giving birth. But then, this cmity still requires us to personally get involved." Qin Hai thought of an excuse. "After the battle back then, Master said that we should never again bother with the mortal affairs."

    "When had you ever abided by that?" Lu Hun stated without politeness. "All those years ago, when you created an identity called Qin Hai among the humans to investigate the humans in secret and even participated in that gene productionpetition, wasn¡¯t that also an act of bothering with mortal affairs?"

    Qin Haiughed dryly. "Cough, cough."

    Lu Hun patted his shoulder. "I know that you are dedicated to your work. It was truly hard on you when you were required to investigate the human race back then. But now, since the ancient race is already in such a situation, we truly can¡¯t ignore them anymore. Since Master is in seclusion, the ancient race can only rely on us. We can¡¯t allow Master toe out of his seclusion only to be presented with an extinct ancient race."

    "Why don¡¯t you go, then?" Qin Hai grumbled.

    "I wish." Lu Hun sighed. "But that family member of mine... You are already aware of my difficulties, right? Moreover, she¡¯s also Master¡¯s daughter... If I truly were to deal with this, there would be no hope of salvaging our rtionship. As such, this will have to rely on you." With a solemn expression, Lu Hun concluded, "Raise your head and look clearly. The present ancient race, all of them are yours. Regardless of the prowess of those formidable warriors or their status, they are all yours!" Next, with a kick, Qin Hai was flung out of thend of legacy.

    ng!

    The entrance to thend of legacy was shut tight. Qin Hai was dumbfounded. The hell, he was actually kicked out?

    The empress gazed at him tenderly. "Your Majesty, from now onward, you are our king."

    Qin Hai: "..."

    He raised his head and looked at the hugend of the ancient race. As he recalled what Lu Hun said earlier, he shook his head. All this was now his? They had no idea that all this was merely a part of Chen Feng¡¯s n. He truly felt helpless now. Heughed bitterly. Naturally, if Chen Feng saw this... Qin Hai could guess what Chen Feng would say.

    He would point at the map, indicating the territory of the ancient race, and say, "Look, this is the kingdom gifted to you by me! A harem I created personally for you!"

    Qin Hai sighed. "What sins have I done to deserve this?" Ever since he had met Chen Feng, his life had been very eventful. From the destruction of the Qin family, to being crippled, to the impasse at that snowy mountain, to the barbarian legacy, to the legendary Holy War back then... Step by step, until now...

    Qin Hai inhaled deeply. Forget it. Despite the so-called cmity or imminent peril of the ancient race, he was clear that even if the entire ancient race was no longer capable of breeding, no longer had any future, they would not disappear for real. That was because that master of his had yet to make his move. As the strongest person of the ancient race, as the creator of theirnd of legacy, since he had yet to make a move, this signified that the ancient race was still not in their greatest possible danger.

    Rather, humanity was the one truly in imminent peril. Regardless of whether it was for himself or humanity or to report to Chen Feng, he did not seem like he had much choice. As he thought of this, he started stepping out.

    He knew that the moment he stepped out, he would be the sole king of the ancient race. Or perhaps, one could say that he was the one and only male of the ancient race.

    Ancient race.

    Qin Hai had been proimed king. This was not met with much resistance. Those geniuses initially filled with an air of arrogance had, under the effect of feminization, seemingly be a different kind of proud, one that could be described with the word "tsundere."

    Now, Qin Hai had indeed brought some hope to the ancient race. Within thend of legacy, all those that had already been beyond A sses were not affected by the humans¡¯ forbidden skill. As for those that had only entered the realm of beyond after the appearance of the gene reagent, they had all been feminized. This clearly showed that when the humans had unleashed that forbidden skill, these people had still all been A sses.

    In other words, the reason Qin Hai and the rest were fine was because they had already been beyond A sses when the forbidden skill was unleashed. Only those in beyond A ss could resist this forbidden skill. This was also a source of a hope for the ancient race.

    The newborns of the ancient race were innately powerful. Most of the time, they were in D ss from birth, but some geniuses were in C ss from birth. There were even rare talents that were even more powerful from birth. For the ancient race, their only hope of surviving against this was to ensure that their children could enter A ss as soon as possible.

    "Remember. Make sure to separate all the children that have yet to start being feminized. Try to reduce contact between them and others to avoid them being polluted by the curse. Try to push those children into beyond A ss as soon as possible." Qin Hai assumed an anxious appearance, seemingly hoping that the ancient race could preserve this final batch of seed.

    Thereupon, everyone started using the beyond X gene reagent crazily. s, it did not seem to work. These children had apparently failed to escape the curse as well. Before they could even fully develop their speech, their gender was already changing from male to female. The various family heads were pained and rmed by the prowess of the humans¡¯ curse.

    With this, the extinction of the ancient race was assured, but the contributions of our friend Qin Hai couldn¡¯t be ignored. Naturally, due to Qin Hai doing what seemed to be the best course of action and using the methods that seemed correct all along, none of the ancient race members med him for this. Rather, they shed tears of gratitude to him for his willingness to help. At this time, perhaps due to everyone suffering from the same fate or perhaps due to the anxiety about the future of the ancient race, the ancient race rebels was actually showing signs that they were going to give up on the rebellion.

    As a response, Qin Hai took on the policy of "settling inner conflicts before dealing with outer conflicts." He led the main army of the ancient race and dered war on the ancient race rebels. This caused the rebels to forget about giving up on the rebellion and instead strengthened their resolve to rebel, their rationale being that without rebelling, only death would await them.

    With this, a great civil war erupted, and once again, the ancient race was mired by chaos.

    "Remember, the present war is for our future peace. In truth, I hate war. As such, I hope to end this as soon as possible. My dream is to return to that little mountain, to continue cultivating happily with my fellow apprentice brothers."

    This saying of Qin Hai¡¯s became a renowned saying among the ancient race. Evidently, after hanging around Chen Feng, he had learned quite a lot from Chen Feng. But then, whether this scheme Qin Hai was ying had been instructed by Chen Feng or not remained unknown.

    In short, thanks to Qin Hai¡¯s act of assuming the role of the king of the ancient race, he managed to gain even more time for humanity.

    "How long can you get for us?" Chen Feng asked.

    Qin Hai sighed. "I have no idea." He had no idea if this was because he was the king, but when he¡¯d been warring against those rebels, some of them had actually surrendered immediately after seeing him, volunteering to serve him instead. Even Qin Hai himself was dumbfounded by this.

    "There is one thing I can be sure of, though. Since there are no more males in the entire ancient race, the moment the rebellion is dealt with, when they have the time to finally pay attention to the humans, the fate of human males will probably be..." Qin Hai did not finish his words, yet it was sufficient to cause Chen Feng to widen his eyes.

    What in the world? That wouldn¡¯t be, right? Only now did he think of this terrifying fact. The moment the ancient race, which waspletelyprised of females, mixed with the current human society, where there were many more males than females, Chen Feng was sure that the ancient race would not even need to try any seduction techniques.

    Those ancient race females with beautiful looks only needed to beckon at the human males with their fingers; that would be sufficient to cause a lot of human men to lose their mind. At that time...

    Chen Feng felt helpless. "Can different races even reproduce with each other?"

    Qin Hai sighed. "How am I supposed to know? These days, even humans and beasts can bear offspring, so isn¡¯t it logical that it would work for humans and ancient race members as well?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s lips twitched as he was left speechless. Indeed, look at the horseman n, the oxman n, and so on. It was rumored that the origin of these ns was actually...

    If what Qin Hai guessed truly happened, at that time, rather than the ancient race being eliminated, the human culture might be the one being annexed by the ancient race. The reason was that regardless of what gender the offspring of humans and ancient race members ended up being, their strength would most definitely be formidable. At that time, all of humanity might instead end up as the ves of the ancient race.

    As such, even after all this, humanity was still hard pressed for time. This was especially true because even now, the ancient race was still increasing in strength.

    "Time..." Chen Feng kneaded his head. Humanity would require time to grow. At present, the beyond X gene reagent had already entered the rapid growth stage, and almost everyone already had a chance toprehend the power of beyond. But this was still not enough to contend with the ancient race. Humanity needed to be even stronger. The humans that hadprehended the power of beyond needed to enter the realm of A ss as soon as possible as well. Only with this would the power of humanity be sufficient.

    "Oh yeah, recently, some ancient race members have been thinking of ways to enter the human territories. I heard that it¡¯s because they are no longer able to bear with life in the ancient race territories and want to start a new life in the human territories. Their outer appearances do not seem too different from humans¡¯. You guys need to be alert on that," Qin Hai told Chen Feng. It was rather troublesome if the ancient race poption were to mix among humans.

    "Oh?" Chen Feng started pondering. Ancient race... "Seems like I need to think of something," Chen Feng muttered.

    Based on what Qin Hai had said, this might be an opportunity to sh with some of the ancient race in advance. This would allow them to try to discover the weakness of the ancient race and gain understanding on actual ancient race members.

    Shua!

    After ending the call, Chen Feng immediately started his investigation. Soon, they found the particr ancient race member that had mixed into human society. Surprisingly, this ancient race female had even gotten married to a human. By feigning to be a human, she had married a human male.

    ----

    Name: Yue Lan.

    Strength: Beyond A ss.

    Introduction: Appeared at Sea City three months ago. Due to her exceptional temperament, appearance that stands out from others, and calm nature, she was pursued by countless people. Finally, she married one of them. After marriage, this female even found a job and started living a normal working life. She has never done anything else.

    Disguise: Due to her extreme strength, nobody has been able to see through her.

    ----

    Chen Feng frowned. "Yue Lan..." His underling had delivered the detailed information on this beyond A ancient race member. Mhm, she was indeed exceptionally beautiful. That delicate face with a faint smile on it and that figure that was almost perfection, this was truly a goddess in the hearts of a lot of males. Who would have guessed that this female was also an ancient race member? Chen Feng had not told anyone else about this.

    Some of the investigators that had beenpiling this information for Chen Feng eximed in admiration.

    "Wow, how beautiful."

    "Yeah, to obtain wife as such, it would be worth it even if one¡¯s life span was reduced by 30 years."

    Chen Feng nced at them but did notment on it. Presently, nobody had any idea what exactly these ancient race members that had entered human society were thinking. If it was in the past, directly killing them would have been the proper path to take.

    But now, since they were refugees and had even gotten married... how should they be dealt with, then? Perhaps one should ask: what exactly were they aiming for?

    Chen Feng sighed. "Seems like I have to personally deal with this." Naturally, before doing anything, he first looked for Qin Hai to gain detailed information on this Lady Yue Lan.

    "Do you have any impressions of this person?"

    "Please wait a bit." Shortly after, Qin Hai managed to find her information. "Mhm, I found it. This fellow¡¯s initial name was Li Goudan. He was a savage from one of the farming viges of the ancient race. Back then, he was the tyrant of an area and was also called Bro Scarface. With his valiant strength, he reached A ss. Subsequently, after plundering a huge amount of beyond X gene reagents, he broke through into beyond A ss. After that, he went missing."

    "Bro... Bro Scarface?"

    Chen Feng was speechless as he gazed at the picture of Lady Yue Lan he had in his hand. Truly...karma. He let off a long sigh.

    As for who was the one who had actually suffered the retribution of karma, it did not need to be said. Naturally, in a certain way, this Bro Scarface hadn¡¯t been lying to that newly gained human husband, as the "scar" had merely changed locations now...

    Mhm, there was nothing wrong with that. After arranging the information about "Lady Yue Lan," Chen Feng decided to go meet her and that poor husband of hers. However, surprisingly, just as he reached Sea City, he encountered thisdy.

    A familiar voice could be heard. "Hahahaha. Chen Feng! I knew it was you! Wow, I initially believed that you would nevere to Sea City. Unexpectedly, I can still see you!"

    Chen Feng raised his head and was immediately stunned. "Mu Yuan?"[1] 1

    That¡¯s right, this person was Chen Feng¡¯s friend from back then, Mu Yuan. However, due to his rather ordinary potential, after giving up on breaking through, he had directly decided to start a normal and simple life in Sea City. His life was truthfully rather easy andfortable. However, what rmed Chen Feng wasn¡¯t his appearance. Rather, it was the person beside him...

    "Come, let me introduce you." Mu Yuan proudly stated, "This is my wife, Yue Lan."

    "!!!" Chen Feng¡¯s eyes widened. What? This isn¡¯t true, right? For that legendarily unlucky person to actually be Mu Yuan?

    Chen Feng recalled the "bunny girl incident" and the "Little Min incident" back then. In short, this pitiful Mu Yuan still couldn¡¯t escape this cursed destiny?

 Chapter 529: Alarming Change

    Chapter 529: rming Change

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng had an awkward expression. "Long time no see." Life was truly filled with surprises. He had imagined countless possibilities, yet he had never imagined that this unlucky person was actually Mu Yuan. Why was it him? What sins had Mu Yuanmitted to deserve this? Chen Feng was speechless as he recalled the sad Mu Yuan in the hotel when he had lost his first love back then and the subsequent Little Min incident, which nearly crippled him. Now...

    Chen Feng was feeling somewhat embarrassed about having to tell Mu Yuan this truth. How was he supposed to tell Mu Yuan? Should he tell Mu Yuan that his wife had actually been a male, previously known as Li Goudan, and was older and much stronger than him and was also previously known as Bro Scarface and a tyrant in his vige of origin? How was Chen Feng supposed to say that? Could he even bring himself to open his mouth? Chen Feng sighed.

    "What are you doing?" Mu Yuan appeared rather resentful. "Are we really this unfamiliar with each other?"

    Although they hadn¡¯t met for quite a while, they had still kept in touch rtively frequently by way of messaging tools. This rather awkward appearance of Chen Feng¡¯s was truly giving him an odd feeling, making him rather unhappy.

    "No, of course not." Chen Feng patted his shoulder and looked at Lady Yua Lan. "But this person here..."

    Mu Yuan grinned happily. "Because of Yue Lan? True, my Yue Lan is truly a goddess. Hmph. You have no idea how long I spent pursuing her back then."

    Yue Lan smiled in a somewhat pampered manner. "The only thing you know how to do is brag about the past."

    Mu Yuan wrapped his hand around her slender waist. "Of course I need to do that. That is the biggest victory of my entire life."

    Yue Lan smacked him lightly in a somewhat bashful manner. "Naughty."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Bro Scarface was actually acting in this manner?

    "Hehe. So why have youe to Sea City?" Mu Yuan asked. A conflicted expression appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. What should he do? Gazing at that expression of happiness on Mu Yuan¡¯s face, Chen Feng truly didn¡¯t know how should he say this. Chen Feng shook his head. "Nothing. I¡¯m only here to release some production missions."

    Mu Yuan¡¯s eyes shone. "Oh? What mission? Is there anything I can handle? Hehe, if there is, why don¡¯t we settle it internally?"

    "That¡¯s fine for me." Chen Feng thought about it and issued a bunch of purchase orders to Mu Yuan. "We are in quite a rush for these orders. These are all low-level purchase orders. I initially nned to let the Sea City branch have a look at them."

    Mu Yuan patted his chest. "Let me deal with it. I am quite familiar with the people in the branch here. Don¡¯t worry, I will deal with this today."

    He was aware of Chen Feng¡¯s present identity. Since Chen Feng had mentioned that he was in a rush, these things were assuredly extremely important.

    "Oh, right, do you have any vacancies for harvesting-rted jobs?" Mu Yuan had a conflicted expression. "Can you get a better job for my Yue Lan?"

    "Harvesting..." Chen Feng muttered to himself. "Well, I¡¯m going to the Procurement Department anyway. I can ask their manager about this. Yue Lan, right? Well, you can lead me there, then."

    "All right," Yue Lan replied gently.

    Mu Yuan was overjoyed at this. "Many thanks."

    Chen Feng smiled. "No worries." Next, Mu Yuan rushed to the branch, and Yue Lan brought Chen Feng to the Procurement Department. As for Chen Feng, his gaze remained on this Lady Yue Lan. Indeed, something seemed off. Despite the deep concealment, with Chen Feng¡¯s present strength, he was most definitely capable of sensing something different about her. An ancient race member was, after all, an ancient race member. However, what exactly did these ancient race members have in mind at this time?

    With the current circumstances of the ancient race, were these refugees still thinking of returning? Or were they willing to live like humans instead? All these were things Chen Feng needed to ascertain. If they could truly make these ancient race refugees part of humanity, the strength of humanity could very well increase. Chen Feng sank into contemtion as he considered all this.

    At this time, Lady Yue Lan, who was leading the way, sensed Chen Feng¡¯s unrestrained gaze. After enduring it for a long time, she was finally furious. Yue Lan clenched her teeth as she said, "Your distinguished self, please do not look at me wantonly. You are Mu Yuan¡¯s friend, after all. Please have some respect for him."

    Chen Feng: "..." Holy shit, Bro Scarface is angry! "You truly love Mu Yuan?" Chen Feng asked curiously.

    "Yes." Yue Lan did not know what Chen Feng was trying to say.

    "Do you know who I am, then? What my status is?" Chen Feng asked.

    "...A big shot of the Gene Production Association?" Yue Lan replied after pondering the matter.

    Ever since she¡¯d entered human society, she had always been hiding herself. Even subsequently, she had only dared move around a small area, and she did not even have a singlemunication device on her. As such, she¡¯d been rather cut off from thetest news. A lot of things she knew were things she had found out gradually after getting to know Mu Yuan.

    "I am Chen Feng. Perhaps you have never heard of this name," Chen Feng said faintly. "However, you will most definitely be aware of some of my feats. For example, the beyond X gene reagent is something I created."

    Finally, the expression of Yue Lan changed. Beyond X... after experiencing what happened in the ancient race, she was most certainly aware of how terrifying that beyond X gene reagent was. Moreover, she was also someone who had be a beyond A ss after using that gene reagent.

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face, "Secondly, I am also the mastermind behind the activation of the Nine Yin Demonic Termination."

    Bang!

    An explosion seemingly appeared in Yue Lan¡¯s brain as she paled immediately. The moment "Nine Yin Demonic Termination" came out of Chen Feng¡¯s mouth, she knew why Chen Feng had been staring at her without restraint, and she was also aware of why Chen Feng¡¯s gaze had been so odd.

    Yue Lan panicked. "S-sorry."

    Chen Feng sneered. "You fellows from the ancient race are truly getting excessive... You guys are already in such situation yet you still dare toe here?"

    Yue Lan panicked. "It was my own idea toe here. I am here to take refuge. Really, I..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze became cold and detached. "There¡¯s also Mu Yuan... Daring to collude with the ancient race..."

    "It has no rtion to him." Yue Lan prostrated before Chen Feng, knocked her head loudly on the ground, and started begging without stop. She told Chen Feng everything she had done and everything that had happened since she¡¯d escaped toward the human society. Chen Feng became speechless.

    Hold on, this plot seemed wrong... Wasn¡¯t the plot supposed to develop toward a direction where Bro Scarface rose vigorously and started resisting arrest and Chen Feng had no choice but to kill him? Why had Chen Feng instead transformed into a viin separating this lovely couple instead?

    Chen Feng sighed. "You truly love Mu Yuan?"

    "Yes," Yue Lan stated in a low voice.

    "Return, then. After this, I will get someone to contact you and perform some simple authentication for you. If possible, I will help you truly be part of humanity," Chen Feng stated calmly.

    Yue Lan was overjoyed. "For real?"

    "Yes." Suddenly, Chen Feng said, "However, since you are going to be part of humanity, if, in the future, a war were to erupt between humanity and the ancient race..."

    Yue Lan unhesitatingly replied, "I will most certainly battle for humanity! I am one who has experienced the most bitter of circumstances in the ancient race. I am one who was forced away by those of the ancient race. My hatred toward them might be even higher than yours."

    Chen Feng contemted. "Very good. Go back to your job first, then."

    "All right." Yue Lan bowed.

    Chen Feng regarded her as she left. From the darkness, several gic warriors walked out. All of them were beyond A sses. This wasn¡¯t surprising. Since Chen Feng had dared to confront this beyond-A-ss ancient race member, he most certainly hadn¡¯t been acting alone.

    "How¡¯s the test result?" Chen Feng asked.

    "No problems found," one of them replied. This person specialized in mind reading. If he fully activated his power, even a beyond A ss could not escape his reading, let alone this female here who hadn¡¯t been prepared for this at all. "Thisdy¡¯s thoughts are consistent with what she said. Moreover, even when she was prostrating and knocking her head on the ground until she bled, she never thought of making a move against you. She never thought of killing you. When she spoke of her origin earlier, she had even prepared to sacrifice herself to protect Mu Yuan. Thisdy is truly in love with Mu Yuan."

    Chen Feng listened silently. He looked at a different person. "How about you?"

    "The data has been verified," that person stated faintly. "Using our tools, we received the same conclusion as those who judged using their ability."

    Is that so? Chen Feng shut his eyes. When conflicts arose between two races, one could not allow their personal feelings to affect their decisions. However, if both aspects could be controlled properly, that would be for the best. An example was what he had just witnessed. It was certainly for the best if this ancient race expert could be a part of humanity. However, this was based on the premise that these ancient race members that were willing to join them trulycked any problems.

    "Qin Hai." Chen Feng contacted Qin Hai directly to obtain the details. Not just Yue Lan, Chen Feng wanted to obtain the details of all other ancient race members that had taken refuge in the human world. He wanted to see how many of these could he recruited to humanity¡¯s side.

    All this would be aplished using the detection tools of the Research Agency, the assistance of mind-reading gic abilities, and the help of the information obtained from Qin Hai, the super spy.

    One could say that everything about every single one of these escaped ancient race members was cleanly unearthed. Everything about them was investigated cleanly. Among all these ancient race members, apart from some who wereparatively violent and were killed off by the Gic Union, the vast majority of them truly liked their life in human society.

    Compared to the deste and barbarous territories of the ancient race, the peacefulness of human society was evidently something valued by these ancient race members that had experienced numerous sufferings. These ancient race members were determined to be epted into human society. However, when the employees found them, some were like Yue Lan, who had been able to reach an agreement with humanity, and were formally epted, but a huge group of them had unexpectedly misunderstood the intentions of these employees and instead escaped.

    Chen Feng was speechless as he found out about this. Fortunately, these people had merely hidden themselves in some unique locations, as they had no idea how to survive and were in fear of being found out. Chen Feng was able to locate them and proceed with granting them formal identifications to live in human society.

    Gic Union: Procurement Department.

    This was a department that appeared ordinary, but in fact, it was a rather unique department responsible for gathering rare materials in those hard-to-reach locations. This was also a department iparably suitable for these escaped ancient race members. These jobs that seemed rather dangerous for ordinary humans were instead extremely easy for them. Here, they obtained an official identification, a higher reward for their job, and a venue in which they could blend into human society.

    Indeed, these ancient race members blended into human society for real. Naturally, the only con to this new life of theirs was the continuous monitoring on them. This would continue until their physical bodies and bloodlinepleted their transformation into those of a true human. For this undertaking, the Research Agency would have to put forth more effort.

    "We are conducting blood-improvement research. This might be able to clear all remains of the ancient race from their body. They might truly be able to be true humans."

    Thanks to this, the strength of humanity actually obtained a surprise increase in strength.

    Mu Yuan called Chen Feng to express his gratitude. "Chen Feng, thanks."

    His wife, Yue Lan, was obviously much happier and more rxed than before. Every day, her working hours were the regr eight hours, and finally, she dared to follow him out of the house as well.

    "Don¡¯t worry about it." Chen Feng heaved a sigh of relief as well. Finally, this had been dealt with. As for the ancient race, they were still consuming the beyond X gene reagents, not suspecting the gene reagent in the slightest. All the me for the gender change had been pushed toward the Nine Yin Demonic Termination. Mhm... a perfect conclusion. And next, they could finally focus on dealing with the devil race. As long as they could control the restoration of the devil race...

    Bang!

    Suddenly, a thunderous p resounded. Instantly, all human territories were shrouded by a dazzling radiance.

    "This..."

    Chen Feng stood up immediately and gazed at the terrifying radiance in shock. At that instant, a boundless devil aura appeared, engulfing the entire world. Something had happened!

 Chapter 530: The Returning Expert

    Chapter 530: The Returning Expert

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang!

    As that dazzling radiance erupted, everyone was startled. A dense devil aura enveloped the entire world instantly as an aura even more terrifying than the aura from the first appearance of the devil race surged, rming everyone.

    "This..."

    "What happened?"

    Everyone was rmed. This aura was too scary, thus nting fear in all their hearts.

    Xiu! Xiu!

    Countless experts started making their move. During the past half year, several hundreds of beyond A sses had appeared among the human race. At this time, all of them made their appearance. However, before they could even locate the source of that devil aura, the sky recovered to how it had been before, sunny and cloudless. The devil aura had vanished.

    "Gone?"

    Everyone gazed at the sky. Nobody had any idea why this devil aura had appeared. At the Gic Union, the beyond A sses that had just revealed themselves were exchanging nces in dismay.

    "Has the position been located?"

    "Nope. No specific position can be found. Ground, sky, everywhere possible has been searched. The devil aura earlier seemed like it had been in the air all along, and the source is unable to be found."

    "Damn it."

    Everyone¡¯s expression became unsightly. This devil aura that had suddenly appeared had smashed all the confidence humanity had built throughout this half year. Since the devil aura could appear here, how about the devil race? Those reawakened devil race members were indeed extremely terrifying. This was a race that had been in hibernation for countless years. Nobody was aware of how strong they truly were.

    "Continue monitoring."

    "All right."

    The people from the Scouting Department had unsightly expressions.

    Onlyst month, they had been jeering at the Earthquake Department telling them how they were only capable of giving warnings after the earthquake had urred. Unexpectedly, the same thing was now happening to them; they had beenpletely helpless during the appearance of this devil aura. Just as they were about to return...

    Bang!

    A radiance erupted.

    They were instantly on guard. "Again?"

    "No, that¡¯s not devil aura." Some of them with sharp eyes were able to see a faint shadow in the distance. "It¡¯s someone from our side."

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. Everyone rushed toward this person. Different from what they had expected, this was a bloodstained person, a gic warrior so injured that his appearance was nearly unrecognizable. What was even more terrifying was the fact that this warrior was actually a beyond A ss as well.

    Someone recognized him. "It¡¯s Lord Li Lei."

    Li Lei, one of the top experts of the Gic Union. He was not even an ordinary beyond-A-ss warrior; rather, he was truly a peak warrior in the truest sense, a beyond A ss categorized as A9. Someone like this was an expert who had been at the top even before the appearance of the beyond X gene reagent. These were the truly formidable humans, those who had been at the apex of humanity all this while. But now, it was truly unexpected that...

    "Devil..." Before Li Lei could even finish his sentence, he fainted.

    Everyone was rmed. "Fast, rescue him." Several employees rushed over to start treating his injuries. Nobody wished to see a top expert like this die. They had no idea what exactly it was that had happened. Everyone started working hastily.

    Presently, Chen Feng, who was not far away, was looking in this direction as well. That was because the instant Li Lei had appeared, his Luck Aura¡¯s rm function had zed and his luck value had started dropping. In his virtual world, the red light of his rm system was blinking without stop. This signified that a grave danger had been detected.

    Without hesitation, Chen Feng warned them, shouting, "Enemy attack! A concealed person is observing us!"

    Shua!

    Instantly, everyone around him was on alert.

    Right at this moment, from the empty air not far away, a clump of devil aura appeared out of nowhere. Space was ripped apart as three shadows streaked out of the torn hole. Their target was Li Lei.

    "Protect him!" two beyond A sses stated as their eyes gleamed coldly. Trying to kill one of them in front of so many of them here? How audacious! Even if these people were newly advanced beyond A sses, they were still true beyond A sses!

    "Scram!"

    The furious gic warriors moved.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    The shadows were disintegrated, but a devil aura started pervading the air. From the three shadows, three malevolent-looking bodies appeared. These three were precisely devil race members. When their attack had failed, they¡¯d been sted out of their shadows.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    A sinister voice echoed in the air. The three devil race members rotated their bodies and took a detour around the several beyond A sses before once again streaking toward Li Lei.

    Everyone¡¯s expression became solemn. "Careful!"

    "Understood." Two beyond A sses that specialized in defense guarded Li Lei. They were aware that since the devil race was so desperately trying to kill Li Lei, it had to be because Li Lei had discovered something important. This was extremely important for humanity.

    Bang! Bang!

    Several bright explosions erupted midair as everyone defended Li Lei. The three devil race members exchanged nces, evidently realizing that they were incapable of killing Li Lei. At this realization, their eyes gleamed coldly.

    "These fellows..." Suddenly, a feeling of intense fear rose in Chen Feng¡¯s heart. Danger! "Careful."

    Before Chen Feng could even finish his sentence...

    Bang!

    A huge explosion erupted. Among the darkness, one of the devil race members started shining with a dazzling radiance. The radiance surged out from its body without stop, forcing its body to explode.

    Hum¡ª

    The terrifying radiance flew into the body of the other two devil race members beside it.

    Instantly, the strength of those two devil race members, which had been equivalent to a beyond A5, increased, reaching the terrifying level of beyond A8 as their strength surged rapidly.

    Everyone¡¯s eyes widened. "Have they gone crazy?" Everything had happened too fast. Initially, they had believed that this devil race member was merely blowing itself up as a suicide attack, and the gic warriors had all erected their defenses to defend against the explosion. Unexpectedly, that devil race member had actually beenmitting suicide, or to be urate, that devil race member had been sacrificing itself. The devil race was most well versed in the art of sacrificing to increase their strength. Now, this devil race member had sacrificed itself to increase the strength of itsrades.

    "Howl¡ª"

    The strength of the remaining devil race members increased greatly.

    Bang!

    One of them started raging.

    Everyone¡¯s expression became unsightly. "Careful." They were somewhat at a loss as to how to deal with the devil race experts. They were clear that these two would not be able to maintain this state of increased strength for long. They had expected that they would only need to defend against these two until the duration was over. s...

    Xiu!

    Suddenly, one of the devil race members soared up into the sky.

    Everyone was doubtful at this sudden act.

    Right at this instant, an ancient yet mysterious imprint shed into view on that devil race member¡¯s forehead. A faint radiance started flickering out of it. High above the air, this devil race member pointed at all the beyond A sses there.

    Ding! Ding!

    Suddenly, an imprint appeared on all the beyond A sses there.

    Their expressions changed slightly. "What is this?"

    That devil race member spat a word out. "Sacrifice!"

    Shortly after.

    Bang!

    Its body exploded before transforming into a clump formed of seals. At this sight, everyone¡¯s eyes widened. What was this? Another suicide?

    ???

    Was this devil race member sick? Committing suicide so easily?

    Just as they were all confused, the seals that the devil race member had transformed into started shining with a dazzling radiance. At the same time, the imprints on all their bodies started shining brightly as well.

    Ka!

    All their body stopped moving. All the experts, the beyond A sses, were at this moment paused in space.

    "This..."

    Everyone¡¯s eyes widened. Body-pausing technique! The deaths of two devil race members had actually been for the sake of pausing the bodies of all the beyond A sses here. It wasn¡¯t that the devil race members had gone crazy. Rather, the humans had all along underestimated the devil race¡¯s persistence when it came to killing Li Lei. Right at this moment...

    Xiu!

    Finally, the final surviving devil race member moved.

    Several A sses and beyond B sses tried to stop it. "Scram!"

    Bang!

    The group of them was instantly flung away. With their strength, they had actually failed to even stop this devil race member for a split second. As for those beyond A sses? They were all currently incapable of moving. Even after pushing their strength to the limit, even though they could feel that the restriction on their bodies was presently wavering...

    Bang!

    The devil race member punched at Li Lei. At this moment, all the beyond A sses were trapped, the A sses and beyond B sses were powerless to stop this devil race member, and Li Lei himself was unconscious. It seemed like nobody was capable of stopping this attack.

    All their hearts chilled. "It¡¯s over."

    Right at this moment, a figure appeared suddenly to block in front of Li Lei. Everyone nced over and was greatly rmed, as that person was precisely Chen Feng.

    A bellow could be heard. "Chen Feng, go away!"

    Li Lei was going to be killed. If even Chen Feng was killed as well... They could already imagine how much of a loss that would be for humanity. They still had no idea why the devil race was so persistently trying to kill Li Lei. However, Chen Feng absolutely could not die. In front of him presently was a devil race member with thebat power of a beyond A8, whereas Chen Feng... Despite Chen Feng being truly strong, he was still only a beyond B9. Between Chen Feng and this devil race member, there was a gap of nine ranks.

    "Chen Feng!"

    Everyone was anxious, hoping that Chen Feng wouldn¡¯t deliver himself to death.

    Hu¡ª

    Chen Feng inhaled. He was aware of his own strength. However, he was even more curious about the real reason the devil race was insistently trying to kill Li Lei. Why was that? Was it due to Han Meimei? Chen Fengughed with self-mockery as he thought of a joke that nobody of this world could understand.[1] 1

    Shua!

    A piercing chill could be felt from the air. The devil race member¡¯s attack had finally arrived. Chen Feng¡¯s eyes became sharp and a full set of Energy Equipment appeared all around his body. Gazing at the powerful devil race member in front of him, his hand slowly stretched out.

    "God! Punisher!"

    Bang!

    A dazzling radiance erupted. The eyes of the devil race member gleamed coldly as the power in its hand became even sharper. This was an ability that the devil race was aware of.

    Back then, during the Star City battle, the final defeat of the devil race had been due to this ability. Even though nobody had been aware of this back then, along with the spread of Chen Feng¡¯s name after that battle, this ability had be simrly well known as well. Moreover, this ability of Chen Feng¡¯s had been analyzed clearly, especially by the experts of the devil race.

    ----

    God Punisher

    Pro: Iparably powerful. The longer the cast time, the more powerful it will be.

    Con: The strength of the attack during the first half minute is pitifully weak.

    ----

    The devil race member sneered as it recalled the description of this ability. Hehe. Was Chen Feng truly treating the devil race as some wild beasts? Did the humans truly believe that the devil race members did not know how to go online? For this devil race member toe here, it had already been ready to not return alive. As such, it didn¡¯t fear anything. If so, why would it be afraid of this ability of Chen Feng¡¯s that had a long activation time?

    "Die!" The figure of the devil race member vanished into nothingness. Its powerful attack merged with its body. The devil race member nned to kill both Chen Feng and Li Lei.

    "Damn it!"

    The expressions of the beyond A sses there changed greatly as they saw this. If something happened to both Chen Feng and Li Lei...

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

    They struggled frantically. The imprints sealing the movement of their bodies were already tottering. Some cracks had even appeared. s, the imprints still remained. This was a forbidden sacrificial technique. The more enemies there were, the weaker the might would be. As such, the devil race member had only proceeded with sealing them after properly calcting the amount of beyond A sses here, just so they could have this single opportunity to kill.

    Bang! Bang!

    The beyond A sses erupted with their final struggle, yet the imprints remained. They could only watch on with despair as that devil race member pierced through Chen Feng and Li Lei with a terrifying radiance. That pitch-ck streak in the air...

    Xiu!

    The pitch-ck streak shed forth. The expected piercing did not appear. Instead, that terrifying ck radiance paused midair as a familiar figure appeared from amid the darkness. That was Chen Feng! Everyone¡¯s eyes widened as they noticed that Chen Feng was actually still alive.

    Even that devil race member was staring at Chen Feng with an expression of disbelief. None of them had expected that the mere peak B-ss Chen Feng was actually capable of forcefully blocking a single attack from this devil race member. Moreover, this was an incredibly powerful attack, equivalent to a full-powered strike from a beyond A8. He was skipping ranks while battling? But how was this possible?

    This devil race member here did not have the strength of those beyond A1 warriors who had just broken through. Rather, it had the strength of a beyond A8, an expert nearly at the top of existence. How had this...

    Hum¡ª

    A terrifying radiance shed in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes, causing one¡¯s heart to flutter. This sight was extremely unfamiliar yet familiar at the same time.

    "Hehe." Chen Feng merely smiled but did not say anything.

    Pu!

    A mouthful of blood was spat out.

    Chen Feng cursed. "Damn it." Currently, his entire body was aching, nearly copsing, yet he forced himself to stood firm and upright. He could most definitely resist this. He was Chen Feng, after all, a person who, when he¡¯d first entered B ss back then, had already been capable of killing A sses. Now that he was a peak beyond B ss and his strength had greatly increased, why couldn¡¯t he kill a beyond A ss?

    What was there to be afraid of? Beyond A8? So what? did the devil race member believe that only the devil race knew about sacrificial battling methods?

    Pu!

    The veins all over Chen Feng¡¯s body ruptured. Even the Energy Equipment failed to protect these veins. At the instance of the rupture, a powerful energy condensed within Chen Feng¡¯s body, helping him block this formidable first strike.

    An ear-piercing shout from that devil race member resounded. "How did you defend against that attack?"

    The God Punisher here was truly excessively powerful. This was not supposed to be possible. If this was the same God Punisher from back then and it had truly been this powerful, wasn¡¯t Chen Feng someone capable of defying even the heavens? This ability...

    Xiu! Xiu!

    Two sounds erupted in session. Once again, the devil race member charged at Chen Feng. The devil race member had to kill Chen Feng as soon as possible. That was because, based on the activation method of God Punisher, the longer one waited, the stronger it would be. As such, this devil race member would truly be dead in the hands of this ability if he waited.

    Kill! The rmed devil race member pushed all its strength out and concentrated it on Chen Feng.

    "Ah." Chen Feng sneered. "You truly believe that the present God Punisher is still the same as the past God Punisher? The progress of half a year..." Chen Feng stated with mncholy.

    Bang!

    Once again, a terrifying radiance converged together.

    The speed of release and eruption of the present God Punisher was much greater than when Chen Feng had just broken through into B ss back then. This was a God Punisher that was in a totally different league.

    Xiu!

    God Punisher erupted crazily. A terrifying radiance collided with the devil race member¡¯s attack.

    Bang! Bang!

    A bright explosion erupted. Both of them were actually evenly matched.

    "This, this..."

    The devil race member was dumbstruck. How had this happened? It could clearly sense that this God Punisher was still increasing in strength. ording to this, the devil race member was no longer Chen Feng¡¯s match. The memory of how the ancient race member had suffered from God Punisher back then was still vivid. What to do, then? This devil race member was obviously copsing emotionally. They had made a huge amount of preparations and even prepared a suicide attack as their final trump card. Unexpectedly, their perfect n was being stopped by Chen Feng alone.

    What to do? The devil race member panicked. The strength of Chen Feng¡¯s God Punisher was obviously increasing, and those beyond A sses were on the verge of breaking out of their imprints. One more second and this devil race member would die here. It would either be killed by those beyond A sses or by Chen Feng¡¯s God Punisher.

    It was not afraid of death. However, the mission had to bepleted before that. The devil race member could not die pointlessly here. As long as Li Lei was still unconscious, the devil race member would still have a chance to kill him in the future.

    The devil race member made the correct decision. Depart!

    Xiu!

    Instantly, this final devil race member retreated rapidly.

    Hum¡ª

    Its body vanished into nothingness and was concealed after taking one more attack of Chen Feng¡¯s by force.

    Shua!

    The air trembled, yet the devil race was already nowhere to be seen. And now, finally, those beyond A sses were free of the imprints sealing them. They wanted to pursue that devil race member yet had no idea where to start and could only look at the Chen Feng that was shining so dazzlingly there.

    However, for reasons unknown, the God Punisher that was supposed to be increasing in strength was actually bing weaker, to the point the attacks were nearly nonexistent right now. Finally, with Chen Feng maintaining the same pose when God Punisher was first activated...

    Pop!

    A green wisp of smoke shot out.

    It was obvious that a particr ability was trying to be released yet had been stuck for a long time, failing to be released. Only some leftover energy was shot out before God Punisher stopped.

    Over?

    Everyone was somewhat dumbstruck as they saw this. Was this a fraud God Punisher? Right at this instant, Chen Feng¡¯s body copsed.

    "Chen Feng?"

    Everyone around him was greatly rmed. Chen Feng was still sober and could only watch helplessly as his body copsed. In order to block the first attack of that devil race member, his strongest trump cards had already been used: Virus Mode, God Punisher, and Energy Equipment. These threebined was already the strongest eruption he was capable of.

    How was it possible for this God Punisher to perform as usual, to grow stronger the longer it was activated? Chen Feng had merely used his Luck Aura to change the sequence of release and had released the final abilities first before letting the weaker abilities out. This time, the circumstances had truly been dangerous. As such, Chen Feng had forced the strongest ability out immediately after activation. For this version of God Punisher, only the first two seconds would consist of powerful attacking abilities. As such, Chen Feng had only been able tost for two seconds.

    The only reason it had still been so powerful was because of Chen Feng¡¯s Virus Mode. Indeed, Virus Mode. This was a unique ability Chen Feng had created early on. By using the aurora reagent, he entered Virus Mode, forcing the affinity of his spiritual energy to the peak. Next, God Punisher erupted, releasing this explosive attack. As for the aftereffects, Chen Feng could clearly feel that his entire body had been emptied of energy. This was also the reason he didn¡¯t dare to use the aurora reagent as he wished.

    At his present level, using this aurora reagent was nearly equivalent to suicide. The strength was too powerful and terrifying. If his normal energy usage was equivalent to unleashing a water pipe, using God Punisher was equivalent to releasing a flood dam, a supereruption. What of aurora reagent, then? The description "the torrent rolls thunderously on for a thousand li" would be the apt description for this.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng copsed on the ground even as his body remained straight. Numerous cries of rm resounded around him.

 Chapter 532: Bastard

    Chapter 532: Bastard

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Chen Feng!"

    They all cried out in rm. Chen Feng¡¯s copse had truly rmed everyone present. The employees of Gic Union took him into the building hastily and started feeding him energy-regeneration gene reagent. Only with this did a wisp of energy reappear in Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    Hou Liang, who had rushed over, anxiously asked, "How are you feeling?"

    The employee shook his head. "He¡¯s fine. He overexerted his energy. He will be fine after taking a rest."

    Only at this did Hou Liang heave a sigh of relief. "That¡¯s good." After hearing about the devil race¡¯s surprise attack and Chen Feng¡¯s unconsciousness, he had truly been given quite a fright.

    "How about that devil race member?" asked Hou Liang.

    "Already escaped. However, based on our guess, it coulde back to attack at any time," the employee stated honestly.

    Hou Liang told them, "The security here will be handed to you guys."

    "Understood."

    Everyone was wearing a solemn expression. Several beyond A sses were outside looking for traces of that devil race member. They were aware of how terrifying this devil race member was, a devil race member who was ready to die aplishing his mission. This time, they would most certainly not give him any chances.

    "Has Lord Li Lei awakened?"

    "No."

    "Heal him as quickly as possible. We need to know what secret it is that he has discovered. Only by leaking that secret will the devil race member stop trying to assassinate him."

    They were sure that after the secret was leaked, it would be pointless for the devil race member to kill him.

    "All right," the employees replied.

    Shortly afterward, the treatment of Li Lei using numerous gene reagents began. Both Chen Feng and Li Lei were on the verge of regaining consciousness. Several beyond A sses increased their vignce as they patrolled. They were aware that if the devil race still intended to assassinate Li Lei, now would be the time to do it.

    Xiu!

    A cold gleam shed past.

    Here ites!

    Everyone¡¯s eyes shone.

    Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!

    Numerous terrifying cold gleams streaked toward Li Lei.

    They sneered. We have been waiting a long time for you.

    If it was an undetected ambush, such as what had happened, when the devil race members first appeared, there might still have been a chance of sess. Now that so many beyond A sses were standing guard here, regardless of how strong that devil race member was, he would still have to submit. So what if his strength had reached beyond A8?

    "Rise!"

    Surrounding Li Lei, three beyond A sses erected a defense.

    They were all confident in their strength. However, to be safe, they had decided to still erect numerousyers of defense so as to not give that devil race member any openings. Presently, the rest of the beyond A sses were attempting to surround that devil race member on all sides.

    Hum¡ª

    Their powerful attacks were seemingly going to pierce through that devil race member.

    All of them had cold gazes. "Die."

    Xiu! Xiu!

    The devil race member¡¯s attack finallynded on Li Lei. Surprisingly, the attack that appeared so powerful failed to even cause a ripple on their defensive barrier before the attack was directly destroyed.

    Everyone felt doubtful. They had already expected that they would be able to defend against this attack, but for it to be this easy... They looked at the energy and noted that not a single bit of the energy supply of their defensive barrier had been exhausted. That seemingly terrifying attack had actually been a feint!

    All of their expressions sank. "Careful!"

    Midair, the attacks of the beyond A sses finally reached the devil race member as well.

    Pu! Pu!

    A series of oppressive sounds echoed. All their attacks had sted into the devil race member¡¯s body.

    Bang!

    Blood sttered everywhere. Instantly, the devil race member was heavily injured and flung away. Not a feint? They were somewhat dumbstruck. They had believed that this devil race member had feigned an attack at Li Lei while condensing a truly powerful attack to deal with the other beyond A sses. Unexpectedly, it hadn¡¯t even resisted their attacks and had been inflicted with heavy injuries just like that.

    What was going on? Had the injury it suffered the other day been too serious? However, just as everyone was still feeling doubtful, the heavily injured devil race that had been flung to the ground suddenly erupted at the split second when everyone had rxed their vignce.

    Hum¡ª

    A familiar radiance appeared. That was the power of sacrifice! That¡¯s right, just as the two other devil race members sacrificed themselves, this final devil race member once again used the method of sacrifice on himself. Once again, the several beyond A sses consolidated their defenses.

    Surprisingly, this time, the devil race member switched his target.

    Bang!

    The radiance surged. The devil race member¡¯s new target was Chen Feng.

    Xiu!

    The terrifying attack shot straight at Chen Feng.

    ??

    Everyone was stupefied. Chen Feng? What? Was the devil race¡¯s target not Li Lei?

    Previously, when Chen Feng had been blocking in front of Li Lei, this devil race member had only intended to get around him to deal with Li Lei and had not nned to kill Chen Feng at all, but now... What was going on, exactly? This devil race member was ignoring Li Lei and sacrificing himself just to kill Chen Feng? Everyone was dumbstruck. As a result of their stupefaction, they were unable to react in time. Even those beyond A sses failed to catch up to the attack, since this devil race member was truly too powerful.

    Kill! Kill! Kill!

    The killing intent of the devil race pervaded the air. A terrifying power locked onto Chen Feng. At present, the Chen Feng who had only recovered a bit after the initial treatment was jolted awake by that bone-piercing aura. Just as he opened his eyes, a huge shadow could be seen streaking toward him.

    ??

    His eyes widened.

    Hum¡ª

    His thoughts started operating at hyperspeed. Instantly, everything around him seemed to slow down. Spirit immediately transmitted the information on everything that had happened to his brain. Finally, Chen Feng understood what was happening. This devil race member had actually switched his target at thest moment.

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression darkened. "Shit." He had never expected that he would be targeted by this devil race member. Wasn¡¯t this devil race member supposed to kill Li Lei to protect their secret? What was the point of killing Chen Feng? Even now, Chen Feng could not understand why this devil race member was trying to kill him instead. Apart from the devil race, nobody knew the reason.

    Hum¡ª

    That terrifying radiance was going to reach Chen Feng at the next instant. Regardless of how fast Chen Feng¡¯s present thoughts were, regardless of how powerful Luck Aura was, in such a circumstance, regardless of whether it was Chen Feng himself or Spirit, they would not be able to think of a good solution. No matter what, this seemed like a hopeless situation. Unless...

    Chen Feng sighed.

    "You truly want to do that?" asked Spirit.

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "What else can I do?" Looking at the iing attack that was tearing apart even space itself, Chen Feng focused his gaze. He assumed a proper pose before lightly waving his right hand. Next, a red sh shot out of his hand.

    "Run, Xiao Ying!"

    Xiu!

    The red sh shone dazzlingly before colliding with the iing shadow.

    Bang!

    A bright explosion erupted.

    "Trying to kill me with just this?" The devil race memberughed nastily. He had indeed failed to assassinate Li Lei. However, if he was able to kill Chen Feng instead...

    Hehe.

    Although this red streak was powerful, it was still not a match for this devil race member. This red streak that was like a tiny worm would not be able to stop this devil race member for even a single millisecond. The gap between them was simply too huge. s, the excitement of this devil race member was not long lived. Just as it was about to destroy this tiny red snake, a terrifying aura appeared suddenly as a tender and fair hand pierced space to appear here.

    Bang!

    The fair hand sped, forming a fist, and punched down resoundingly.

    Ka! Ka!

    The devil race member¡¯s eyes widened. He could clearly feel that at this instant, the space before him, including his attack, including everything else, shattered as cracks started appearing.

    How is this possible...

    This devil race member watched on in shock as his body transformed into countless fragments before vanishing in the air. Where the red radiance had been previously, a petite figure appeared. Why... had... this happened? The devil race vanished with dissatisfaction.

    At this moment, the radiance dispersed. A youngdy with a bathrobe wrapped around her appeared. Her feet were bare and she was staring at Chen Feng furiously. "Bastard! I told you, don¡¯t ever use such a method to summon me!"

    Ming Yue was bursting with rage. Was this bastard doing it on purpose? Every time he summoned her, it was when she was taking a shower! If she wasn¡¯t sure that Chen Feng had no way of crossing over to her world, she would even start to believe that Chen Feng had installed a hidden camera in her bathroom. This was too excessive! Hadn¡¯t Chen Feng imed that Xiao Ying was his brother? Who would toss their brother out in the middle of a fight? Wasn¡¯t this too excessive? Even if this was not a true biological brother, this still wasn¡¯t proper, right?

 Chapter 533: Only You

    Chapter 533: Only You

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Indeed..." A smile formed on Chen Feng¡¯s face. He had known that when Xiao Ying faced danger, Ming Yue would most certainly appear. This was quite a bizarre summoning method, though.

    Ming Yue snorted. "I will destroy you sooner orter." She raised her bathrobe and red at Chen Feng before throwing a nce at the happily smiling Xiao Ying. At that sight, her anger lowered somewhat. "What are youughing about? No matter what, you are still an intelligent life form. Why have you not grown up yet even after so long? Has the growth of your brain been allocated to your length instead?" Ming Yue was furious.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    This was the first time he¡¯d heard someone use such a unique method of scolding someone, although the "length" in his mind was different than the "length" in Ming Yue¡¯s mind. One was thinking of the growth of age, and the other was referring to a growth in length. Mhm... Ming Yue was quite well studied in human literature, after all.

    "When I¡¯m done with my affairs over there, I will personallye and give you lessons." Ming Yue red at Xiao Ying before looking at Chen Feng. "Don¡¯t keep using this method to summon me. The danger level will not always be transmitted correctly to me. If I fail to sense it in time..." Ming Yue warned Chen Feng solemnly before leaving.

    Chen Feng smiled. "All right." He had also been forced to summon Ming Yue. If not for the unique circumstances he had been in previously, he wouldn¡¯t have used such a method to summon her. That was because the exhaustion of using this summoning method was rather...

    At this thought, Chen Feng checked his luck value, and his heart ached. The distance between Xiao Ying and Ming Yue was too far, a distance of two worlds. As such, even if Xiao Ying encountered danger, Ming Yue could only sense it from a different world. Under such circumstances, numerous factors, such as spatial flow and so on, might affect her ability to sense Xiao Ying¡¯s danger. As such, the instant when Ming Yue sensed the danger might not necessarily be the exact same instant that Xiao Ying encountered danger. This was also the reason Ming Yue had left such a solemn warning to Chen Feng. However...

    Chen Feng sighed.

    In order to ensure that Ming Yue would sense the danger immediately, his luck value had been consumed. The amount of luck value exhausted to clear the spatial flows between both worlds had reached a staggering 1,000 points. This was an extremely terrifying amount. Even though Chen Feng had been saving up his luck value during the past half year, he still couldn¡¯t afford to waste them this way.

    "Only 2,000 points remain..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart ached. Half a year! Apart from the several times he had used it to increase the skill usage history for his God Punisher, he had been saving them and had managed to save only 3,000 points in total. For his God Punisher¡¯s advancement, he had been using several luck value per day to release never-before-used abilities from his Myriad Illusions in order to umte his history of used abilities.

    At times, one luck value would be sufficient to release several new abilities, but at other times, several luck value would be required to release only a single ability. Slowly, the many abilities in his Myriad Illusions were released and the umtion of his God Punisher changed. This was rather stable progress. This was also the reason Chen Feng had been able to contend against that devil race member earlier by using God Punisher and Virus Mode.

    s, he was ultimately still too weak. Despite his ample preparations, he had still been unable to properly contend against that devil race member. It was the same this time. The opponent had been too strong, to the point Chen Feng hadn¡¯t even been able to unleash his God Punisher in time. Ultimately, he¡¯d had no choice but to forcefully summon Ming Yue.

    Despite the fact that the devil race member had indeed been eliminated, the exhaustion of his luck value was truly...

    Chen Feng sighed. He had lost 1,000 of his pitiful 3,000 luck value with only a single summon. How could his heart not ache? Yes, Big Sister Ming Yue was indeed powerful. However, the exhaustion from summoning her was truly too excessive.

    "Seems like I have to take note of this in the future." Chen Feng sighed yet again. He was not only anxious about his safety, he was also hurting from the exhaustion of his luck value. He raised his head and was weed with gazes of reverence from the people around him.

    They couldn¡¯t help but respect him. This Chen Feng guy hadn¡¯t only reached the apex in gene production, even when looking for wives, his wives were apex experts as well. He was simply a winner at life!

    "A friend..."

    Chen Feng wanted to give an exnation yet found it impossible to exin. How was he supposed to exin this? Telling them thatdy was a summon of a friend of his? Or perhaps the leader of the harem his friend had summoned? Who would actually believe that?

    Right at this moment, a groan was heard. Everyone¡¯s attention was attracted as they noted that the Li Lei that had been being hunted by the devil race had finally regained consciousness.

    "Li Lei!"

    The deputy president walked over emotionally. "Are you fine?"

    Li Lei shook his head. "I¡¯m fine. Devil race..."

    The deputy presidentforted him. "The devil race members chasing after you have been killed. Don¡¯t worry."

    "No, that¡¯s not what I mean." Li Lei seemed agitated. "In the devil race¡¯s territory, I discovered traces of S ss."

    "What?"

    Everyone widened their eyes. Devil race? S ss? This single sentence of Li Lei¡¯s was akin to a storm that engulfed the entire Gic Union. All their experts, all the beyond A sses, even those who were still in seclusion forcibly left their seclusion in advance before rushing over to this ce to try to listen to the secret Li Lei had discovered.

    This was, after all, something pertaining to S ss... All their hearts trembled. At present, humanity was at a bottleneck. Regardless of the old A sses of the past or the beyond A sses of the present, to break through their bottleneck, there was only one possibility: entering S ss and fusing with a brand new gic ability, thus creating more powerful abilities.

    "Where?"

    "Which n of the devil race?"

    "What ability is it?"

    Everyone was going crazy.

    "Have you guys not sensed it?" Li Lei paused. "When scouting in the devil race territories, I identally encountered the devil race¡¯s sacrificial ceremony. I tried spoiling that ceremony, yet unexpectedly, they still sessfully awakened that... terrifying devil race member! That was also the devil race member that injured me. Otherwise, those three devil race members wouldn¡¯t have been my match at all," Li Lei stated hatefully.

    So that¡¯s the case. Everyone finally understood. Previously, they had still been wondering why Li Lei was being chased by those three despite his strength. So it turned out that there was a particr extremely powerful devil race member. True, only such an expert could aplish such a feat.

    The experts of Gic Union exchanged nces and gulped. S ss... That was an S ss! If they could kill that S-ss devil race member, if they could obtain its gene...

    They were all tempted.

    The news brought by Li Lei was too shocking. So shocking that these experts that had been stuck at the peak of beyond A ss for a long time could no longer maintain their calm. It was no wonder that the devil race had been trying to kill Li Lei. Such a secret...

    However, this just made some of them more curious. "Why did it change its target to Chen Feng toward the end, then?"

    After Li Lei found out what had happened, he understood immediately. Sneering, he said, "The reason for that is simple. To produce a true S-ss gene reagent, an exceptionally powerful gene producer is required. Presently, among humanity, Chen Feng is the only one capable of this."

    Chen Feng waved his hands. "How is that possible? Those great masters are all better than me in production."

    Yes, his production level was indeed high. However, those old great masters were much better than him in terms of production. He couldn¡¯t contend with them.

    "Indeed, their production levels are higher than yours. However, theirbat power is too weak, so weak that they can¡¯t even defend themselves." Li Lei shook his head. "To produce a true S-ss gene reagent, the producer will have to enter that ce where the devil race members were being awakened. There, danger is everywhere. It is impossible for those gene producers to return alive from such a ce. This is even more true for the older generations of gene producers. Theirbat power is nonexistent. Only you, Chen Feng! You are the best option for bing the producer of this S-ss gene reagent. This will also be the most powerful gene reagent in the history of humanity: an S-ss fusion gene reagent!"

    Chapter 534: Target: Devil Race

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    S ss, a unique existence. The strongest person Chen Feng had ever encountered was only a peak beyond A ss. With the appearance of the beyond X gene reagent, the time at which one could reach A ss from F ss had been greatly reduced. However, for those that were already at the apex of existence, this gene reagent did not change much. What these people required was a way to break through the bottleneck, the bottleneck known as S ss.

    There was an S ss among the devil race. This fact had yet to be verified, but based on Chen Feng¡¯s guess, the old man who had never made his move was probably in S ss. This old man Chen Feng was thinking about was Qin Hai¡¯s master, who had been known as Sage back in the ancient era.

    This was also why humanity had such fear toward the ancient race. The ancient race was already in such circumstance yet that old man still remained unmoved. What exactly was that old man nning to do? Nobody knew. The only thing humanity could do was pay close attention to the ancient race for fear of anything unexpected happening.

    From this, the deterrence power of an S ss was apparent. However, regardless of how powerful the ancient race¡¯s S ss was, it had nothing to do with humanity. After all, it wasn¡¯t like the S ss would teach humans how to breakthrough or something like that. However, now that there was an S ss among the devil race as well...

    This fact truly rmed everyone. In truth, the devil race¡¯s system was quite simr to humanity¡¯s gic system. As such, an S-ss devil race definitely possessed a seventh ability, a seventh powerful gene. As long as humanity could obtain this gene... Everyone was tempted.

    "S ss is too strong. We are totally not that devil race member¡¯s match," one of them said after shaking his head. They recalled the scene earlier when that devil aura had pervaded the air. The strength of the S-ss devil race member was simply too scary. It wasn¡¯t something they could deal with.

    Li Lei shook his head. "No, no. If that was really the case, why would the devil race be so desperate? The reason they are so nervous is because that powerful S ss has yet to fully awaken."

    Everyone¡¯s eyes widened. "What?"

    "That devil race is too strong." Li Lei sneered. "But the devil race¡¯s remaining energy supply is too low. As such, they have to slowly awaken that expert, which will require a huge amount of sacrifices. This is also the reason the devil race hasn¡¯t appeared for half a year. They have been busy doing this. Unfortunately for them, I was able to identally discover this. We only need to interrupt their sacrifice ceremony and that expert devil race will be an empty shell akin to a puppet. What we want is its corpse and blood essence."

    Everyone¡¯s eyes shone. If that was the case, it was doable.

    "When should we do it?" someone asked.

    "Now!" Li Lei answered without hesitation. "The earlier, the better. When I discovered them, the ceremony was already in progress. Even if the ceremony duration is rather long because the gap between their strength and that expert¡¯s is too huge, if we dy this, some unwanted variables might appear. Perhaps the devil race might have some other methods to speed this up."

    Everyone exchanged nces. "That¡¯s possible as well."

    "If so, let¡¯s go now."

    Everyone stood up. The deputy president looked at Li Lei anxiously. "Are you fine?"

    Li Lei shook his head. "I¡¯m fine. I have merely overexerted my energy. As for the other injuries, they are merely external. I will allow them to slowly heal while on the way."

    The deputy president nodded. "That¡¯s good to hear. Let me know if there¡¯s anything you need."

    Now that humanity had once again stumbled upon hope, they had to grab it. If they could produce a sufficient amount of S-ss gene reagents, human society would...

    S ss! The mere thought of this caused their hearts to tremble. It might finally be possible for humanity to truly contend against the ancient race and devil race.

    "The devil race is, after all, not some pushover. Even if the amount that have reawakened is rather low, all of them are exceptionally powerful. As such, I need 10 beyond-A-ss warriors." Li Lei stated his requests without hesitation. "As for the remaining support warriors, the Gic Union can arrange as they deem necessary."

    The deputy president agreed. "All right."

    "As for gene production..."

    Li Lei looked at Chen Feng, "Just as I mentioned previously, Chen Feng is the most optimal choice for this. However, to go or not, or whether he can go or not, or whether he can actually produce it or not, he will have to consider it himself. After all, this is an S-ss gene reagent. This is something no producers have ever encountered."

    Shua!

    Everyone¡¯s gazended on Chen Feng.

    "I¡¯m going," Chen Feng answered without hesitation. Since this was rted to S ss, he had to participate. This was about the future of humanity, about the direction this world would take. As such, he had to personally partake rather than stay a spectator like he had been previously.

    Li Lei was overwhelmed by his emotions. "Very good. Let¡¯s depart now, then."

    "Gene materials..." Chen Feng was somewhat worried about the materials.

    However, the Gic Union had directly deployed 10 beyond-B-ss gic warriors to join them, each of them carrying a huge bundle containing materials. Any material that might be required was now here.

    "You guys will be carrying them like this?" Chen Feng wiped his sweat. Were there no spatial abilities or spatial storage systems?

    Theyughed. "Our spatial storage is already full. The rest of the materials will have to be carried physically."

    Chen Feng was speechless. It was apparent that this time, the Gic Union and Gene Production Association were contributing everything they could. That was understandable, though. After all, this pertained to the legendary S ss. As such, proper preparations were required.

    However...

    Chen Feng gazed off into the distance. Would the ancient race allow this to happen?

    At the present moment, in a certain location at the ancient race¡¯s territory, a green radiance covered everything. Lu Hun gazed at the sleepingdy beside him, and his expression was so unsightly it was scary. He had spent an entire year to change her mind. He had been kneeling to his master requesting for help to let her know that she was his wife. By way of memory recall, which wasn¡¯t as real as one experiencing it personally once again, more akin to a movie being yed in one¡¯s mind, thedy had finally understood that she was the wife of Lu Hun. Only with this had Lu Hun gained the chance to get near her.

    After a year of begging, he had finally managed to persuade thisdy to return to him. However, thisdy had also put forth her requests. He was not allowed to touch her or do anything improper to her. All this he could ept. After all, the both of them had been together for countless years, and what was even more precious for him was the feeling between them. However, what Lu Hun couldn¡¯t ept was the fact that...

    He raised his head, looking at the framed picture by thedy¡¯s bed. Within the frame was a picture of a youth whoseughter seemed rather cheerful. Mhm... this was a picture of Chen Feng.

    Ka!

    Lu Hun clenched his fist in anger to the point that he crushed his own bones. Was rebirth truly something so difficult? He had returned to the past, taking her to the future. s, her memories seemed problematic. Regardless of how many times he reyed the memories of their life together, in her heart, the hero on rainbow clouds that had saved her was still Chen Feng rather than Lu Hun. He had even tried erasing traces of Chen Feng from thisdy¡¯s memory, yet he¡¯d failed.

    This scared him greatly. This was because he had tried erasing memories of others before. With a simple tap, the memories of anyone would vanish without leaving a single trace behind. However, when it came to Chen Feng, regardless of how many times he attempted, he failed.

    "Is it because Chen Feng¡¯s existence is too great, or is it my ability that¡¯s still not strong enough?"

    Lu Hun felt doubtful, yet he did not linger much on these thoughts. It wouldn¡¯t matter. He only needed to kill Chen Feng before once again attempting to clear the memory. He was nning to personally make a move using the most direct method: killing Chen Feng before erasing all traces of Chen Feng¡¯s existence.

    He stood up and nced at the sleepingdy. He was tempted to give her a kiss, yet from the corner of his eyes, he noted that the Chen Feng in the picture seemed to be smiling in a perverted fashion. Instantly, his expression darkened and he nearly smashed the picture.

    Hold it in, hold it in, Lu Hun warned himself. He was aware that the moment he did that, thisdy would most definitely leave him resolutely. This tiny spark of hope he had obtained after one year of begging was not allowed to be spoiled in such a fashion.

    Shua!

    He left the room. With an ugly expression, the diamond on his forehead shone green. At the door, the people from the ancient race were already waiting for him.

    "Has the information been confirmed?"

    "Yes. The traces of a big battle between the humans and devils is too obvious. Based on our investigation, among the humans heading toward the devil race is Chen Feng."

    Lu Hun¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Very good." It was about time he dealt with this.

    Chen Feng, I shall be waiting for you!

 Chapter 535: Peed on It?

    Chapter 535: Peed on It?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Devil race.

    Cold wind howled everywhere. Outside a crude-looking altar, an elderly devil race member was kneeling on the ground as tears streamed down his face. "Thatmp... has been extinguished."

    "What?"

    The hearts of the other devil race members trembled. They knew very clearly what thatmp signified. The future of the devil race depended on thatmp. Now that themp had been noiselessly extinguished... it seemed like the future of the devil race was gone as well.

    "We received news that the humans are already preparing toe here," one devil race member stated.

    A different devil race member sighed. "The people from the ancient race mighte as well."

    Was this the reason thatmp had been extinguished? Humans... ancient race... They shut their eyes in pain. During the holy war back then, the devil race had been able to evade the disaster and had watched on as the barbarians fell. Unexpectedly, now, they did not even have the chance to restore their civilization.

    A sigh could be heard. "If we had known it would be like this, back then..."

    "What should we do now?" asked several devil race members, their faces remaining expressionless. Since even thatmp had been extinguished, was there still any hope for the devil race?

    "Get the prince here," the elderly devil race member said with a sigh.

    "All right."

    Shortly afterward, a young devil race member appeared. His height was less than two meters, and his body shape was rather simr to a human¡¯s. On his face was a pair of lively eyes. He was Ling, the youngest prince of the devil race. Based on how humans calcted their age, this prince would be 12 years old. That was also why they¡¯d been able to awaken this prince this early.

    After the prince they had been waiting for was castrated by the humans, the elders of the devil race had put all their hope on this young prince. The sequence of the awakening of the devil race members depended on the strength of the awakened devil race members. Apart from this, if one wished to awaken any particr devil race member earlier than the natural sequence, a high price would have to be paid. An example was this elderly devil race member.

    He coughed as he felt his vitality leaking out.

    The elderly devil race member sighed. "Your majesty. The devil race no longer has any hope. I will gather several children so that you can escape together with them. The future of devil race will rest on all of you."

    Ling felt doubtful. "Why?"

    "We failed to kill that human." The elderly devil race member sighed. "In addition, our battle attracted the attention of the ancient race. Now that we are in the midst of our sacrifice ceremony, we can¡¯t stop it. By the side, the ancient race and human race are both stirring and are preparing toe. I¡¯m afraid the devil race no longer has any hope."

    Ling was doubtful. "Can¡¯t we try fighting them?"

    "Yes, we can, but..." The elderly devil race member gazed into the distance. His expression appeared even older now. "Thatmp has already been extinguished."

    Everyone sighed. Thatmp was the soulmp of the devil race. Burning it was the hope and future of the devil race. Now that even the tiny speck on thatmp had been extinguished, the devil race was truly finished.

    Ling seemed to recall something. "Whichmp?¡¯

    "The one in the ancestral hall." The elderly devil race member shook his head. This young prince was truly still too young if he did not even know about this.

    Ling gained understanding. "Oh, thatmp. I was just about to tell you this: the other day, while I was answering nature¡¯s call, my pee sshed on it identally, extinguishing themp. One of you can just go and light it again."

    Shua!

    Everyone sunk into silence. The elderly devil race member who had been sighing earlier froze before lowering his head to gaze with expressions of disbelief at this young prince that signified the future of the devil race.

    "Sp-sshed?" the elderly devil race member asked while shuddering.

    Ling nodded. "Yes. It¡¯s not that I want to nag you fellows, but something like amp is better ced somewhere higher, and it should be covered with amp cover. I have studied the humans. All these things are worth learning. When you guys ce themp on the floor, isn¡¯t it too easy for some water to sshed on it? After all, when this prince pees, the pee can reach the length of around 30 meters."

    The other devil race members nearly fainted as they heard this. In other words, themp signifying the destiny of the devil race had actually been extinguished by the pee of this young prince? Howmentable.

    Flop.

    Countless devil race members knelt down in a daze.

    Only the elderly devil race member was still staring at Ling. Word by word, he asked, "Say again, how was themp extinguished?"

    "Pee." Ling had no fear. After all, he was the young prince. When had he ever feared anyone?

    "Very good." The elderly devil race had a solemn expression. Bringing Ling with him, they arrived at themp. Looking at the extinguishedmp with his own eyes, he said, "Where¡¯s Da Huang?"

    A devil race member who looked like a dog appeared. "Here."

    "Check it," the elderly devil race member stated calmly.

    "All right." Da Huang assumed a solemn expression. Thismp was, after all, the lifeline of the devil race. As such, Da Huang did not dare to be careless with it. Walking toward themp, Da Huang used his nose to sniff themp without stop. Next, with a solemn expression, Da Huang licked it before sinking into contemtion.

    After a long time, Da Huang opened his eyes. "It was indeed peed on."

    The young prince: "..."

    What the hell, these are my future citizens? Since awakening, this young prince had mostly been exposed to human culture. Influenced by human culture, the prince felt like these devil race members were all akin to wild uncivilized savages, even worse than those barbarian fellows. One ought to know that once upon a time, the devil race had been a race that signified grandeur and nobleness.

    At this moment, the elderly devil race member suddenly began tough wildly. "Hahahahaha."

    This wildughter shocked numerous people. Even those devil race members who had earlier copsed in despair were startled by thisughter.

    "Themp was lighted by our devil race¡¯s indestructible fire. Wind and water cannot extinguish it, and it was supposed to burn forever. That was also why it was called the soulmp of the devil race. But now, you have actually managed to extinguish it..."

    The elderly devil race member¡¯s eyes shone, seemingly seeing true hope for the devil race.

    "So it turns out that you, young prince, are the true future of our devil race." The elderly devil race member¡¯s gaze seemed to burn. "With your existence, perhaps we can really summon that lord..."

    "Ah?" What? Ling was puzzled.

    A dreamlike voice rose. "Prince. Now,e with us..."

    In this territory of the devil race¡¯s, the sacrifice ceremony that had been stopped quite a while ago resumed. Moreover, the speed of the summoning started to increase as chanting resounded throughout the area. Among the faint clump of radiance, an arm slowly appeared.

    Previously, this single arm alone was the very thing that had defeated Li Lei. This was where the devil race had stopped their ceremony previously as well. Now, the speed of the summoning seemed to have increased by more than 10 times. Perhaps that lord was truly going to be summoned?

    Ancient race? Humans?

    Hehehehe.

    The gazes of all the devil race members became fanatical. When that lord returned, all the ancient race members and humans could go to hell! All the devil race had lost would be regained!

    At the same time, at the border of the unknown regions, the team of humans finally entered the territories of the devil race after finishing their preparations.

    Shua! Shua!

    As they stepped in, the sky above them darkened. Different from the clear and boundless sky among the human territories, here in the unknown territories, which were equivalent to forbidden grounds for humanity, the endless darkness and torrential rain remained.

    Shua! Shua!

    The ck rain poured down, and the ground beneath them was already dyed ck. Numerous devil race bodies appeared from the ground before surrounding all of them.

    Li Lei sneered. "Indeed."

    Protected by everyone there, Chen Feng merely watched on silently. Since the devil race did not want them there, the devil race most certainly had some preparations in ce. During this journey, every single patch of cknd they stepped on might cause some devil race members to appear.

    Li Lei waved his hand calmly. "Kill!"

    Bang!

    The gic warriors moved and battle erupted. These newly awakened A-ss devil race members seemed somewhatcking in strength whenpared to the Gic Union members, whose strength had been greatly increased recently. The only rming thing about them was their absolute quantity.

    Shua! Shua!

    Group after group of devil race members appeared, seemingly without end. How many more of these fellows were there, exactly?

 Chapter 536: Such a Method Exists?

    Chapter 536: Such a Method Exists?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    For humanity, the ancient race, and the devil race, time was what was most important right now. Each race was racing against time to seek a lifeline for their race. The devils were trying to summon that person as soon as possible. Humans were trying to reach the location of the sacrifice ceremony in the shortest time possible and obtain the blood essence of that expert the devils were summoning before its soul was summoned.

    As for the ancients, they were trying to eliminate both the humans and the devils. Even for the present ancient race, which was suffering from internal discord, they still regarded themselves as the strongest race in existence. As for the humans, the ancients still regarded them as nothing but cannon fodder.

    This assumption of theirs was further reinforced by the fact that the humans had even supplied them with the beyond X gene reagent. As such, humans were most certainly a race that could only qualify as ves. Even now, the noble ancient race had yet to discover the true problem, the real reason the ancient race had been feminized.

    Kill! Kill! Kill!

    The Gic Union members were rushing toward the devil race. With Li Lei present, no map was required. As such, their journey was rather straightforward as they headed directly toward their target. The only problem guing them was the devils, who were awakening without stop around them. It seemed like all the devils were appearing to stop their advance. A1, A2, A9, and so on. Moreover, even beyond-A-ss experts appeared among the devils.

    Unfortunately, the present humans were already different than they had been in the past. Throughout the past half year, the devils had been recovering. As for the humans, they had been rapidly improving in strength. With the mass production of the beyond X gene reagent, a huge amount of humans had managed to reach beyond A ss.

    Shua! Shua!

    With numerous cold lights shing about, the awakened devils were not able to do anything before dying.

    "Just continue forward," Li Lei stated coldly.

    "Are you fine?" someone asked as they looked at Li Lei and Chen Feng with worried expressions. Both of them had just suffered from overexertion of energy not long ago. Even now, they had yet to fully recover.

    "I¡¯m fine."

    Li Lei sensed his body before saying, "My energy is slowly recovering. I suppose that by the time we arrive, I will be able to fight as usual again."

    Chen Feng nodded. "Same here." The only pity was the fact that they were in too much of a rush. As such, he had just used his God Punisher. For this trip, he would not be able to use that ability.

    The one who had asked was relieved to hear that. "That¡¯s good, then. Let us deal with all the devils we encounter on the way. You both only need to prepare yourselves."

    Chen Feng nodded. "Understood."

    "Will we arrive in time?"

    "Not a problem," Li Lei answered without hesitation. There were no dys in the execution of this mission as the higher-ups had directly issued amand to hasten this mission in order to fight over time with the devil race.

    Suddenly, Li Lei recalled something. "Oh, right, there¡¯s a prince among the devils. Hold on..."

    Shua!

    Using light, Li Lei formed a hologram of the prince¡¯s appearance. From his appearance, this prince appeared incredibly young.

    "It¡¯s this fellow. Remember, if our n progresses smoothly, remember to deal with this prince as well. This prince might look like someone without much potential, but a prince is still a prince. Do you guys understand?" asked Li Lei.

    Everyone nodded. "Understood." Devil prince... If possible, it was indeed better to eliminate this prince.

    Hua! Hua!

    The ck rain was even heavier now, and the cold wind swept past them without stop. The devils were seemingly aware of what the humans were nning, and they were manufacturing all sorts of natural disasters in an attempt to stop the humans. Unfortunately, before true strength, these natural disasters were nothing but a joke. This was especially true because there were 10 beyond A sses among the humans this time.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Two beyond-B-ss gic warriors that specialized in energy recovery were restoring the energy of everyone present as they traveled. A familiar energy wave echoed around them, giving them all a snug feeling.

    Suddenly, Li Lei said, "There won¡¯t be any problems for now. We will encounter something truly problematic when we reach the Land of Sacrifice."

    Chen Feng nodded. "Understood." The Land of Sacrifice was most certainly the ce where the devil race was the strongest.

    If this mission ended in sess, humanity would enter the era of S ss, their strength increasing on the whole. As for the devil race, they would truly sink into an existence akin to being the puppets of the other races. If their strongest warriors had all encountered mishaps, what would they have left? They would have nothing left.

    As such, thising battle would be extremely important. Since the humans were aware of this, the devils were naturally aware of this as well. As such, the strongest members of the devil race would most definitely be at the Land of Sacrifice. The strength of nearly the entirety of the devil race concentrated there.

    That would be where the true decisive battle would happen. Naturally, if everything progressed as nned, Chen Feng would not be required to fight at all. This time, he was only here as a gene producer.

    Xiu! Xiu!

    Yet again, numerous devils crawled out of the ground. Li Lei nced over with a cold gaze as the people of the Gic Union started clearing these newly appeared devils. From the start till the end, they were not dyed in the slightest. It was quite naive of the devils to want to dy them using such a method.

    Shua! Shua!

    Supported by beyond B sses specializing in boosting speed, the group traveled forth amid the darkness. Soon, a faint flickering light could be seen in the distance. They had arrived at the Land of Sacrifice. This trip had gone far smoother than they had imagined it would.

    "Be careful."

    At this moment, all of them subdued their movements. Distantly, faint gloomy sounds could be heard.

    "The sacrifice is still in progress. Let¡¯s go take a look."

    They went over carefully.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng said, "Careful."

    Even without the warning from his Luck Aura, even with seemingly no dangers around them, the instinct Chen Feng had honed gave him the feeling that something was not right. This was too smooth. Was this due to the overwhelming strength of the current humanity? No... Chen Feng shook his head.

    Truthfully, here in this area where all the soil was ck, it was simply impossible to hide their movements from the devils, yet even so, the devils did not seem to have anyone stationed nearby to guard this Land of Sacrifice. If so, something had to be off somewhere.

    The gic warriors nodded. "Understood." With care, they walked forth. The shadows in the distance became distinct. As they raised their heads, the contents of the Land of Sacrifice were visible to the naked eye. With a single nce, Li Lei¡¯s expression changed abruptly.

    There, a huge body was gradually beingpleted. A faint radiance condensed around it. That expert seemed to be on the verge of awakening. The summoning of that expert had already beenpleted? This speed was ten times faster than they had estimated.

    Li Lei paled. "How is this possible?"

    One of them pointed at the sky. "Look."

    Everyone raised their heads and understood the reason the summoning of this expert had beenpleted so quickly. However, this reason was quite...

    Up in the air, the young prince was hanging. Someone was pouring a huge amount of liquid into his body without stop. Bucket after bucket, liquid was being forced down the prince¡¯s throat until the prince¡¯s belly swelled into a round shape. Next, the prince¡¯s crotch was aimed straight at the altar of summoning, allowing the prince to bestow all below with his mighty urine powerful enough to extinguish their soulmp, urine filled with vitality.

    This was the real reason the summoning had proceeded so quickly. The energy and vitality¡ªor perhaps some other energy required toplete the summoning¡ªhad actually been amassed thanks to this young prince. Li Lei was dumbstruck. Chen Feng was dumbstruck. Everyone was dumbstruck. They gazed at the young devil prince, who was being used as an "energy-improving device," and remained in a long stupor. This... works?

    Chapter 537: This Must Be Some Cheat Technology

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng was somewhat stupefied. Could this be considered some sort of forbidden technology? He looked at the devil pouring liquid down crazily while the other devil took aim using the young prince¡¯s crotch before letting loose the urine where they wanted it.

    Mhm...

    This had to be some sort of forbidden technology. Naturally, that wasn¡¯t the biggest problem here. Rather, thanks to this young devil prince, that expert that gave off a stifling feeling was about to awaken.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The ground started trembling. Everyone¡¯s expression sank. This wasn¡¯t the mere arm that Li Lei had encountered when he¡¯d been here previously. Rather, what was about to be summoned was the entirety of the expert.

    "How are we supposed to even fight that?" someone asked with a bewildered expression.

    Li Lei, his expression solemn, nced at the enemy¡¯s body before stating steadily, "Run!"

    What kind of joke was this? Back then, this expert here had only recovered a single arm and were already capable of injuring him. Now that the main body was almost recovered, how could the humans even begin to battle it? At times like this, it was most apt for one to demonstrate their skill in running away.

    Run! Run! Run!

    Everyone started fleeing crazily. As for that beyond-B-ss senior who specialized in speed boosts, his power was pushed to the limit as he helped everyone run from this ce like their lives depended on it. All their ns were cast aside, since this scene where the expert was entirely summoned hadn¡¯t been part of their n at all.

    In their n, the final goal had been to stop the summoning of this expert. Now, though, since the expert was about to be summoned, they could only escape, nothing else.

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "I keep feeling like I have been cheated." As he was fleeing, he turned his head around to take a nce at how the devils were doing.

    Mhm...

    The young prince was still "shooting" forth without stop. It seemed like what this prince had mentioned previously about how its pee could reach a distance of more than 30 meters hadn¡¯t been a lie after all. However, as Chen Feng saw the struggle and expression of pain on the prince¡¯s face, his heart thumped.

    "Xiao Ying."

    Shua!

    A red sh streaked forth amid the darkness. At present, the elderly devil in the Land of Legacy was coldly looking in the direction the humans had escaped.

    The elderly devil muttered, "Hehe... How could it be that easy to escape? What an honor it is for you people to have the privilege to witness the awakening of this lord. You all shall be the first sacrifice to the lord following his awakening."

    Bang!

    The ground trembled. Finally, that huge body stood up. This was a body so tall it seemed to reach the clouds. Its cold and detached gaze swept around before finallynding on Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    Shua!

    Killing intent pervaded the air.

    Bang!

    Just like that, he started walking toward them one step at a time.

    One of the gic warriors was angered. "Let me give it a try." As an illustrious beyond A ss, was he supposed to escape the moment he encountered someone strong? Even if Li Lei had mentioned previously how terrifying this fellow was, that was, after all, still just one side of the story. He studied this newly awakened devil. Despite its huge body, it did not seem to have a unique aura about it. Perhaps...

    He tried attacking with a single gic ability.

    Errrk.

    That devil hupped. A faint gaseous energy shot out and collided with the beyond A ss¡¯s attack. The hup had actually smashed the attack apart, not leaving anything behind. Damaging this devil? It did not seem possible.

    "Holy shit."

    That gic warrior howled before turning around and continuing to flee. This was how things would always be. If one did not attempt something personally, one would never realize how terrible a defeat one might experience...

    In this situation, what was the point of battle? This was an opponent in an entirely different league.

    Whoosh! Whoosh!

    Everyone fled frantically. However, that devil¡¯s speed seemed much faster than theirs. If this continued, it wouldn¡¯t be long before the devil caught up to them.

    Yi?

    What was that? In the midst of their escape, they saw someone blocking the way in front of them. Were these devil race members as well? Their hearts chilled at this thought. When they approached the blockade, they became speechless. That was because these were actually members of the ancient race! The one at the center, the leader, was a superexpert of the ancient race: Lu Hun!

    His strength had reached the level of beyond A9. A true apex of existence.

    His nced swept past before locking onto Chen Feng. "Chen Feng, I finally found you."

    Lu Hun¡¯s killing intent surged.

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression darkened. How have I stumbled upon him here? Naturally, he did not know that Lu Hun hade here just for him.

    Lu Hun¡¯s killing intent intensified. "This time, I will most certainly dismember your body¡ª"

    Chen Feng interrupted, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dismember my body into ten-thousand pieces, am I right? However, it¡¯s pointless even if you kill me. By doing that, your wife will hate you more. Do you want me to exin to her properly for you instead?"

    Lu Hun nked. True. If he killed Chen Feng, he would be forever unable to clearly exin this matter. Back then, hadn¡¯t it been because of him trying to kill Chen Feng that his wife had hated him for a long time? If Chen Feng were to personally exin to his wife...

    Chen Feng did not seem like he was going to give Lu Hun much chance to consider this. "Therefore, before that, I think it¡¯s best if we first deal with that thing."

    What?

    Lu Hun¡¯s gazed in the direction Chen Feng was pointing. Only at this did he notice the intense devil aura in that direction. Apanied by a terrifying radiance, a huge figure appeared.

    Lu Hun¡¯s heart jolted furiously. "It¡¯s that fellow!" That fellow... had actually sessfully awakened? The devil race... would most probably rise in power, then.

    Bang!

    A terrifying boom resounded. Step by step, that figure approached them. What caused Lu Hun to be somewhat doubtful was the fact that on that expert¡¯s body, apart from the intense devil aura, there was also an incredibly strong odor of urine...

    Chen Feng pointed at that big guy. "Can you even escape this thing? The devil race will not allow either of us to return alive."

    Lu Hun was speechless. Evidently, even he had not expected that this expert would actually awaken this early. This had surpassed everyone¡¯s expectations.

    "Either we join hands or we die together," Chen Feng proposed calmly.

    Lu Hun sneered. "Join hands and kill it? Allowing you people to obtain its gene to produce a new gene reagent? Hehe, that¡¯s not possible."

    Chen Feng threw him a nce. "You misunderstand me. I merely propose that we join hands to escape from here."

    That¡¯s right. Joining hands just to escape.

    Even with Lu Hun of the ancient race here, even with Li Lei and other 10 beyond A sses of the human race here, before this devil expert, they could only flee, nothing else.

    Finally, Lu Hun agreed. "That¡¯s fine for me." Since the circumstances had changed abruptly from his n, he would have to act ordingly. Li Lei and the rest had never expected that a day woulde where they would have to work with the ancient race.

    Howl!

    The devil expert roared. A terrifying shockwave spread around, scraping around one or two meters of soil off the surface of the ground in the process. A terrifying might engulfed everyone present, nting fear even in the heart of Lu Hun.

    Hum¡ª

    The green radiance intensified. All around Lu Hun, it started shimmering.

    "Help me stop the energy." Lu Hun groaned. "I have a way to teleport all of us away from here."

    The shockwave released by the devil was too powerful, while the shockwave was too terrifying. If the shockwave wasn¡¯t blocked, he wouldn¡¯t be able to start any spatial teleportation at all.

    "All right," Li Lei replied.

    Shua!

    Numerous radiances erupted and blocked the devil¡¯s shockwave. Li Lei and a beyond B ss specializing in spatial abilities exchanged nces before thetter nodded his head, confirming that Lu Hun was indeed attempting group spatial teleportation. The location of the teleportation was eptable as well. Even if this beyond B ss was not capable of teleportation himself, he was still capable of checking the coordinates.

    "Activate full defense!" Li Lei looked at the devil that was nearing them. "We only have a single chance."

    "All right."

    Shua!

    Numerous defensive barriers were erected. Apanied by an intense odor, that devil finally appeared before them. The devil raised its huge fist, then punched down. At that instant, space itself shattered. Right at this moment, the intensity of the green radiance increased greatly.

 Chapter 538: What Is This Guy Doing?

    Chapter 538: What Is This Guy Doing?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At this moment, in the territory of the devil race, Li Lei was still questioning the gic warrior beside him that specialized in spatial abilities. Even after confirming it three times, determining that the teleportation target was fine, that sense of danger that had risen in his heart had prevented him from calming down.

    The spatial specialist smiled bitterly. "Don¡¯t worry. Even if I can¡¯t group teleport like this ancient race fellow, I am still capable ofprehending thews of space." He transmitted the coordinate to the others and said, "Mhm... This is where we will be teleportedter."

    Li Lei and the rest took a look and confirmed that it was indeed fine. This was indeed near the Gic Union¡¯s reinforcements, a ce where they could seek help.

    Only at this did Li lei calm down somewhat. "Very good."

    Bang!

    The devil¡¯s attack descended. Even with 10 beyond A sses joining hands to create this barrier, it was only able to block a single attack from this devil. They shivered in fear. How strong exactly was this devil whose body reeked of urine?

    One clenched his teeth as he said, "We can¡¯tst any longer. Are you done yet?"

    Lu Hun inhaled. "Soon. It is hard even for me to take so many people along when teleporting. Why are there so many of you guys in the first ce? This is only a mission, right? Of course, if I was only required to teleport the beyond A sses and could leave everyone else behind, I could teleport right this instant."

    As Li Lei and the rest heard this, they became speechless. Abandoning everyone else? That was not possible.

    Bang! Bang!

    The barrier before them started cracking.

    The beyond A sses pushed their limits to try andst longer. As for Lu Hun, he tried to hasten the teleportation and get everyone out.

    While clenching his teeth, Li Lei asked the spatial specialist beside him, "Is he truly not ying any tricks?"

    That person smiled bitterly. "Nope."

    "Fine." Li Lei continued defending. "Keep a close watch on him."

    The act of cooperating with Lu Hun itself was something that brought great pressure, since they were required to closely watch every single action of his. At present, everyone was doing their best. Everyone apart from Chen Feng. The numerous battles they engaged in year round had granted them exceptional intuition. Li Lei was not the only one who sensed the existence of some unknown danger. Chen Feng felt the same thing as well.

    Chen Feng gazed at the devil with a strong odor in front of them. Is it because of this fellow? He shook his head. No. This was also the reason something like a sense of danger was rather unstable and shouldn¡¯t be relied upon. Despite its ability to perceive the existence of danger, the feedback received was too unclear, especially in their current circumstances where everything seemed to be in chaos.

    However...

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. After exhausting one luck value, he discovered the true crisis.

    Shua!

    His Luck Aura locked onto a single person: Lu Hun.

    Chen Feng shut his eyes. "It is indeed him." He knew this guy wouldn¡¯t be working with them honestly. Was he nning to teleport them to some unknown ce to trick them? No. The Gic Union had their own spatial specialist on this mission. The specialist had ascertained that the teleportation target was fine.

    As the strength of the devil in front of them increased, their sense of crisis intensified. What was interesting was the fact that even with how ferocious the devil appeared to be, so ferocious that the devil seemed like he could kill everyone here, Chen Feng still did not feel any sense of crisising from this devil. This signified that this devil posed them no threat whatsoever. But from what he could see, it was obvious that...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng realized something.

    Lu Hun had probablypleted his preparation for teleportation long ago. Only this could exin the reason for them not feeling any sense of crisis from this devil. If so, why had he not teleported them? What was he waiting for? Reinforcements? This guy had most probably requested reinforcements. It seemed like they would have to engage in a battle at the teleportation destination, then.

    Chen Feng sneered. Very good. When the timees, we will have to see which side¡¯s reinforcements are stronger...

    Hold on. Since Lu Hun had alreadypleted his preparation, why hadn¡¯t the spatial specialist reminded everyone of this? Something like the convergence of the power of space was supposed to be something this specialist knew well, right? Chen Feng sank into contemtion.

    Lu Hun...

    Space...

    Suddenly, his brain jolted furiously as certain words surfaced in his brain.

    "When our squad was on a mission, we suddenly lost consciousness. By the time we woke up, we were already seriously injured and had suddenly transformed into criminals. Remember, if you encounter someone with a diamond on his forehead, regardless of time and ce, you must run, run far away!"

    ...

    As these words surfaced within his brain, his messy thoughts were once again rearranged. Diamond on forehead... Losing consciousness... Regaining consciousness...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng gained understanding.

    "Spirit. Can luck value interrupt spatial teleportation?"

    ...

    "Such a huge consumption? Forget it, then. Help me calcte the true coordinates of our teleportation target instead." Chen Feng opened his eyes and suddenly called out, "Li Lei."

    Li Lei looked at him. "Mhm?"

    "Take note of this. If that Lu Hun fellow tries to inflict losses on us during the teleportation, kill him directly." Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were filled with killing intent. "The moment any casualties appears, attack him immediately."

    Li Lei agreed without any hesitation. "Understood."

    Lu Hun snorted. "Hmph. Viewing the actions of a nobleman with the lens of a shameless person. Since I have said that I will bring all of you away, I will most certainly aplish it. Not a single one of you will be left behind."

    Radiance swirled around Lu Hun¡¯s hand. On his forehead, a bead of sweat appeared, making it seem like he was already trying his best. Toward this performance, Chen Feng merely sneered. Was he trying to drag this out in order to exhaust the power of the humans? Or was he waiting for the arrival of the reinforcements he had requested? It didn¡¯t matter. Chen Feng himself wanted to see clearly what n Lu Hun had in ce.

    Bang! Bang!

    Layer afteryer of their barrier started breaking. The terrifying attack of this devil rmed all of them. They had 10 beyond A sses against this single devil, yet they were still suffering such a crushing defeat without any chance of even counterattacking. The scariest part was the fact that this devil hadn¡¯t even beenpleted awakened, as it had yet to regain consciousness.

    "The body of this devil is moving based on instinct alone. Presently, this devil is only using pure physical strength without using any abilities or skills."

    They smiled bitterly. They were aware that the moment this devil awoke for real, a single move would be sufficient to kill everyone here. Such was the power of S ss? This was no longer a gap of realms. Rather, this was more like the sh of twopletely different systems of energy.

    Bang! Bang!

    The devil with a nk look in his eyes punched down without stop. The experts of the Gic Union could clearly feel the amount of energy in their bodies reducing rapidly. At the same time, Lu Hun¡¯s energy was reducing as well. In order to avoid being discovered, he was allowing his energy to be reduced crazily as well. Otherwise, how could he conceal it from those old foxes such as Li Lei?

    Such a method of exhaustion was a method that would cause both sides to suffer and seemed pointless. Ultimately, the true fight would be between the reinforcements of their respective sides after the teleportation. If so, who exactly had this Lu Hun requested as reinforcements? Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly.

    At a certain location simrly shrouded in darkness, several people stood amid the rain, allowing the rain to wash over their bodies. Their pitch-ck gowns were faintly discernible amid the darkness, exuding some traces of killing intent.

    "Has the information been received?"

    "Yes."

    "Is it him?"

    "Yes."

    "Very good. We have been waiting a long time for this."

    "How true..."

    A sigh resounded. Once again, the figures vanished amid the darkness.

 Chapter 539: Happenstance

    Chapter 539: Happenstance

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In a single minute, nearly all theyers of the barriers erected by the Gic Union experts were destroyed. In the second minute, they started repairing their defensive barriers frantically. In the fifth minute, all of them had exhausted their energy. At that moment, the defenses of all the beyond A sses burst apart after losing their energy supply. The final defensive line remaining was immediately smashed apart with a single punch.

    Right now, they were left with no defenses.

    Bang!

    The devil expert¡¯s punch descended.

    "Damn it, Lu Hun, are you done yet?" Li Lei howled. He could see that even Lu Hun¡¯s energy was near exhaustion as well.

    "One more. Hold on." Lu Hun gazed resolutely at the dropping fist, seemingly calcting the amount of energy required to teleport thest of them. He counted down, "Three, two, one..."

    Bang!

    Right before the punchnded on them.

    "Done!" Lu Hun eximed in joy.

    Hum¡ª

    Light flickered. The descending fistnded on the ground instead, creating a huge crater there. As for those people that had been standing there, they had all vanished without a trace. Near the end, Chen Feng and the rest had indeed been teleported out.

    In a certain unknown region, numerous figures appeared out of thin air. Escaped! As they took in the fresh air, they were all overjoyed. Finally, they no longer had to inhale air perverted by that intense smell of urine. The scariest part of that huge devil had in fact not been his strength. Rather, it had been the odor on his body. Moreover, since the urine was the source of the unique energypleting the summon, that summoned devil would most probably be stuck with that smell forever.

    At this thought, they started wondering, would that devil expert actually feel joyful after fully awakening, or would that devil, in a fit of anger, murder all who had summoned him? Mhm, this was quite the question.

    "Hahaha. This father here survived."

    Some were ecstatic. As for the rest, they also smiled in a gratified manner.

    Next, one of them turned around to see a sh of green. At that, that cheerful mood seemed to freeze. Right, there was that Lu Hun fellow here.

    Shua!

    They started gazing at each other as their killing intent surged. Their cooperation had been a forced one in any case. Now that they had already escaped sessfully, there was no longer any need to show any considerations for the other side.

    Shua!

    From one of their hands, a cold sh shot forth toward Lu Hun. Lu Hun merely watched on coldly.

    Bang!

    That attack was interrupted midair. Surprisingly, the one blocking the attack was actually apanion of the attacker, the spatial specialist of the Gic Union.

    "???"

    They were all rmed. What was going on?

    Suddenly, the spatial specialist smiled. "What do you think?"

    This seemed rather bizarre.

    "You are trying to kill me with only this much strength?" the spatial specialist stated coldly.

    It was still the original voice of this spatial specialist. However, the tone and manner of speech were instead...

    Li Lei¡¯s expression changed greatly. "Lu Hun! You¡¯re actually Lu Hun?"

    "Hehe." The spatial specialist smiled toyingly. "Isn¡¯t it toote for you to only be discovering this now?"

    Bang!

    Finishing his words, his body shuddered as his gaze went nk momentarily before recovering. "I... what?" With a confused expression, he looked at hispanions. Everyone¡¯s heart chilled.

    "You... do you still remember what we did earlier?" Li Lei asked while his voice shuddered.

    "Earlier?" That person appeared puzzled. "Weren¡¯t we talking about joining hands earlier?"

    Shua!

    All of them paled. Joining hands... In other words, as early as that, he had already been possessed by Lu Hun. If so, when Li Lei had been asking him about the teleportation coordinates...

    They started looking around them. This was a ce surrounded by a primal and chaotic aura.

    Li Lei tried contacting the Gic Union. He indeed managed to contact them. However, this ce was too far away for their reinforcements to arrive in time. Even if they were to rush over using special abilities, they would still take several minutes to arrive. In these few minutes...

    Bang! Bang!

    From the dusky chaotic aura, numerous powerful existences appeared. Ancient race. All of them were ancients.

    "Dear sirs, I¡¯m afraid you lot will have to stay here forever," Lu Hun stated with a cold gaze. "As for you..." His chilly gazended on Chen Feng. "I¡¯m afraid you will have toe with me."

    He believed that as long as Chen Feng was captured, he would be able to make up his own truth for his wife.

    "I¡¯m feeling rather shy," Chen Feng stated bashfully. "I will be nervous when doing a threesome."

    Shua!

    Lu Hun¡¯s expression greened. Heughed sinisterly. "I will ensure your satisfaction."

    Bang!

    The ancient experts behind him walked out. Even if everything proceeded ording to his n, even if the Gic Union would require several minutes to arrive here, Lu Hun would still not allow any mishaps. As such, he absolutely had to deal with this within the shortest time possible.

    He barked out his finalmand coldly. "Kill!"

    The hearts of Li Lei and the rest chilled. During the battle earlier, they had all exhausted their energy. At present, they were simply defenseless. Looking at the ancients before them that were no weaker than beyond A sses, they despaired. They had indeed prepared themselves to be stabbed in the back, yet it was truly beyond their expectations that Lu Hun would pull something like this off.

    What was that, exactly? Soul control? Body possession? But then, Lu Hun was clearly standing right before them. The diamond on Lu Hun¡¯s forehead flickered without stop, seeminglyughing at their ignorance. Indeed, humanity¡¯s knowledge of the ancients was still rather limited, after all. This limitation was especially pronounced in regards to the fellow apprentice brothers of Lu Hun.

    What to do? The humans exchanged nces.

    Li Lei sighed. "Seems like we can only do that." The rest exchanged nces and nodded. They no longer had anybat power. As such, they could only do that. Using their final trump card, they would perish together with Lu Hun.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint glimmer appeared around their bodies.

    Pa!

    With a p, Chen Feng stopped them all.

    "???" Li Lei felt doubtful.

    Chen Feng merely smiled as he regarded Lu Hun, who was having a good time watching them. "A suicide attack will be ineffective against this person. This Lu Hun here has numerous clones everywhere. As such, it is not possible to know which is the true body and which is the clone."

    Lu Hun merely sneered as a response. "Hehe."

    The attacks of his underlings continued. Dragging out the time? He would not allow it.

    Shua!

    The several ancients pounced at them furiously.

    Chen Feng shook his head and sighed. "Is there a need for this? Lu Hun, do you think that you are the only one who has called for reinforcement?"

    "Hehe." Lu Hun did not even bother looking at Chen Feng. He was sure that Chen Feng was trying to drag this out. Reinforcements? What a joke. He was the one who had decided the teleportation coordinates. How could Chen Feng have called for reinforcements to such a ce in advance? Back then, he had still believed that this Chen Feng was a rather smart person. Now that he looked at it, hehe, this Chen Feng was only someone capable of some idiotic methods of dragging out the time...

    Lu Hun sneered.

    s, right at this moment, numerous cold shes of light suddenly shed through the air.

    Pu! Pu!

    Several bloodstains bloomed in the air. The ancients that had been about to reach Li Lei and the rest were suddenly split in two, and their bodies crashed to the ground. Blood sttered everywhere.

    "?!"

    Lu Hun¡¯s eyes widened abruptly. These...

    "Who is it?" Lu Hun bellowed. Around them, numerous flickering figures appeared suddenly.

    Someone walked out from the left side. "Gou Li."

    Another person walked out from behind Lu Hun. "Guo Jia."

    Someone walked out from the right side. "Sheng Siyi."

    The three stood together, their killing intent surging.

    Lu Hun¡¯s pupils shrunk. "It¡¯s you guys?" These three familiar people caused his heart to chill. Apart from these three, it could be vaguely seen that in the distance, there were more blocking his escape routes. These guys... It was them, that squad he had tried to eliminate back then! Lu Hun¡¯s killing intent surged. "You guys are actually still alive!" So it turned out that these guys that had been forced to the brink of death by him back then were actually still alive. It was no wonder that the figurine was in Chen Feng¡¯s hands, then. Were they the ones who had passed it on to Chen Feng? Lu Hun¡¯s killing intent intensified.

    Shua!

    At the same time that Lu Hun was still in shock due to their appearance, a cold nce swept past as the three of them joined hands and disyed thebination skill they had created during their days in the Barrier Vige.

    Bang!

    A terrifying radiance swept down as a cube-shaped ck cage appeared out of thin air, seemingly trying to destroy Lu Hun.

    Lu Hun sneered. "Do you people truly believe that you can kill me?" Did they believe that he would be truly helpless since he had exhausted his energy? How naive!

    Hum¡ª

    A faint glow flickered. Lu Hun grabbed at the empty air.

    Bang! Bang!

    All around the world, the numerous clones of Lu Hun burst apart at the same time before transforming into a sea of green particles that ultimately vanished into space.

    Hum¡ª

    All the green particles surged out around Lu Hun¡¯s body. The green shone dazzlingly.

    In a split second, Lu Hun¡¯s exhausted energy was fully recovered and reaching its peak condition.

    Bang!

    Finally, Gou Li¡¯s trio¡¯s attack swept past Lu Hun. s, this powerful attack failed to deal any damage to Lu Hun.

    Lu Hun¡¯s mouth curled up as he sneered. "Just this much power?" How weak... Hehe.

    Gou Li ignored Lu Hun and kept his gaze on the space behind Lu Hun. Lu Hun nced back and noted with astonishment that the attackunched by the three of them had yet to disappear. Rather, after curving in the air, the attack proceeded to instead kill off all the other ancients Lu Hun had called over as reinforcements. It seemed like the true target of Gou Li¡¯s trio¡¯s attack was actually Lu Hun¡¯spanions.

    Hu¡ª

    A cold wind blew past. Lu Hun nked. He had discovered that, suddenly, in this deste ce, all that was left besides himself were his enemies: the Gic Union, Chen Feng, Gou Li, and others.

    Finally, Gou Li spoke, his voice seething with boundless hatred."And now, you can no longer escape." He had been waiting a very long time for this day toe. Once upon a time, he had also been a proud son of the heavens. His squad had beenprised of elite gic warriors, and each of them had had unlimited potential and future aplishments. s, because of Lu Hun, everything had been destroyed. Beneath the sea, they had waited all these years just for this very day.

    Gou Li¡¯s expression was cold, and an astonishing killing intent erupted from him. "Today, I will kill you!"

    Lu Hunughed heartily. "Haha."

    Even without any allies, he did not exhibit any sort of fear.

    "It¡¯s also good for it to be this way," Lu Hun muttered. "I only recovered to this strength level after destroying all my clones. If after this I were to allow you guys to die easily, wouldn¡¯t that be too much of a waste?"

    Hehe.

    The smile on Lu Hun¡¯s face became sinister and bizarre.

    Hum¡ª

    A terrifying green radiance shone. With the green radiance shining upon Lu Hun¡¯s face, his expression appeared even scarier.

    "All of you need to die," Lu Hun stated coldly. He pointed midair. "Soul!"

    Shua!

    An undtion appeared in midair.

    Chen Feng raised his vignce abruptly. "Careful." He remembered clearly that this Lu Hun still possessed an ability capable of controlling others. This was an extremely terrifying ability. If he was able to control those from the Gic Union...

    Right at this instant, Gou Li moved. A faint barrier appeared, hovering in midair. When that transparent undtion of Lu Hun¡¯s spread out through the air, it collided with the barrier and instantly stopped moving.

    Lu Hun¡¯s pupils shrunk. "This..."

    "Do you truly believe that we have been cking about all these years?" Gou Li stated coldly. "As powerful gic warriors, we all have high resistance toward such mind-control abilities, even if they areunched from a legendary superexpert. With our firm resolution, even if our hearts are charmed, we will still be able to break free. As such, even if we can¡¯t defeat the enemy, we will not be controlled. However, your ability... was actually something we werepletely helpless against. My defensive measures against mental- and heart-controlling abilities werepletely ineffective against you. As such, ever since that happened, I have been thinking about what exactly your ability is. As we grow in strength without stop, we also studied you. This continued until Chen Feng brought us information about you and all the abilities you had used. Only then did we gain a clear understanding of all your abilities."

    Gou Li gazed at the diamond on Lu Hun¡¯s forehead before continuing, "Green radiance. Is that the power of space? What you control is the power of space. All your clones are an extension of your power of space. You have created severalyers of space and ovepped them to create numerous clones of yourself. As for this soul-possession technique you used, it is nothing like a mental- or heart-controlling ability. Rather, this is you using your spatial abilities to temporarily banish the consciousness of your enemies and rece them with one of your numerous clones¡ªto rece and control the enemy. I do not know how exactly all this is done, but I can conclude that, essentially, all your abilities are rted to space. Since its space, we only need to defend against space."

    Shua!

    Finally, Lu Hun¡¯s expression changed. Up in the sky, that thin barrier remained. Gou Li gazed at the barrier and a longing expression appeared on his face. "This barrier was created by my brother, Bi Quzhi. This barrier has no other abilities. Its sole function is to restrict spatial abilities. Any spatial abilities will be frozen within this barrier," Gou Li stated coldly.

    Only now did Lu Hun realized that he was no longer able to sense the existence of any spatial powers.

    Shua!

    He tried unleashing a spatial sh.

    Oh.

    He was still able to do it. However, he could no longer sense the power of space, nor could he receive any sort of feedback from space. Moreover, even this spatial sh, the most basic of all spatial abilities, had consumed a terrifying amount of his energy to unleash.

    This damnable barrier had actually severed his connection with space, with heaven and Earth.

    "Brothers, can you see this?" Gou Li muttered to himself.

    Bang!

    Once again, the three of them moved. Lu Hun was their target.

    Bang!

    A terrifying radiance shone brightly. Chen Feng and the rest watched on distantly. An evenly matched fight did not happen; no resistance could be seen. This was a purely one-sided beatdown of Lu Hun by Gou Li¡¯s trio.

    Ten years worth of waiting.

    Ten years worth of hatred.

    Ten years worth of study.

    Ten years worth of attempts at countering Lu Hun.

    Gou Li¡¯s group had indeed been waiting for this moment for way too long. Initially, they had truly had no way of aplishing this, since the gap between their strength and Lu Hun¡¯s strength was too huge. However, thanks to the beyond X gene reagent, they had be beyond A sses as well.

    Pu!

    With a cold sh, Gou Li¡¯s weapon shed Lu Hun¡¯s body, resulting in blood sttering everywhere.

    Lu Hun was rmed. "How is this possible?" His strength level was obviously at beyond A9 and was clearly much stronger than these three. However, every single time they attacked, their attack seemed much stronger than his. Could it be...

    He gazed at the faint barrier coated around Gou Li¡¯s weapon. He could sense clearly a powerful strength exuding from the barrier.

    Gou Li sneered. "Have you discovered it? This is Bi Quzhi¡¯s ability. Although he died because of you, although he can no longer witness this with his own eyes, the ability he created has been preserved."

    Shua!

    Gou Li¡¯s weapon shed forth. On that ordinary weapon, ayer of silvery light could be seen. With a silver sh, Lu Hun¡¯s powerful spatial defense was sliced apart like paper. Gou Li caressed the barrier gently before saying, "We named this ability... the Shroud Art."

 Chapter 541: Drop Drop Beatdown

    Chapter 541: Drop Drop Beatdown

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Shroud Art." Lu Hun had a solemn expression. He could clearly sense the terrifying power of this barrier. It was as Gou Li said. This was an ability that countered him. This damnable Shroud Art was actually capable of restricting all spatial abilities. Such a barrier would be useless against other abilities, but against him...

    Lu Hun¡¯s heart chilled as he thought of this.

    Pu! Pu!

    With several cold shes, new bloody cuts were left on Lu Hun¡¯s body. A person at peak of beyond A9 was supposed to win decisively against three enemies around beyond A1 and A2, yet now he was suffering such a humiliating defeat at their hands. All this was because of that damnable Shroud Art. Bi Quzhi...

    "Have you seen it?" Gou Li asked with an ice-cold gaze. Every time he left a cut on Lu Hun¡¯s body, he asked the same question. "This is my brother¡¯s power."

    Pu!

    Yet another cut was left.

    "Have you seen it? This is the price you have to pay for what you did to us back then," spat Gou Li one word at a time, seemingly trying to return to Lu Hun all the humiliation he had endured all these years. Indeed, after living in sadness for over 10 years, how could he allow this Lu Hun to die easily now? He wanted to see Lu Hun shudder in despair.

    Naturally, the more important reason for this dy in finishing Lu Hun off was because it was impossible for a peak beyond A9 to not have any hidden trump cards. What exactly was Lu Hun¡¯s trump card? Gou Li¡¯s gaze was cold.

    At present, Chen Feng and the rest had already distanced themselves from the battleground. This was not a battle they could get involved in. The other beyond A sses of the Gic Union were taking this opportunity to recover their energy. This was a very good opportunity for them.

    "Shroud Art..." Li Lei¡¯s heart jolted as he gazed at the power shrouding Gou Li¡¯s trio. For it to allow a beyond A1 to easily deal with a beyond A9... That was too powerful.

    How terrifying was this power for it to be capable of skipping past 8 minor realms to deal with a higher-level opponent? Granted, this version created by Bi Quzhi would only be effective against spatial abilities. However, if it was handed to the Gic Union or the Research Agency to be researched, perhaps this might be yet another great tool for humanity!

    Pu! Pu!

    Two extra cuts appeared on Lu Hun¡¯s body.

    Li Lei approached Chen Feng. "You know them?"

    Chen Feng nodded. "Mhm."

    Li Lei grinned. "If so... Is there a way of getting this Shroud Art for ourselves? I have seen protective films used for monitors or keyboards, but this is the first time I have seen a protective coat being used on weapons. Think about it. If, in the future, everyone in the Gic Union could use this..."

    Li Lei appeared excited. Evidently, he was imagining the sight where humanity became even stronger in the future. However, Chen Feng frowned as he heard this as he noted that things were not as simple as it seemed. That was because after following Li Lei¡¯s line of thought, the following scene was what he imagined instead:

    "This is a protective coat inherited by my ancestors. If I can¡¯t stick it on properly, I won¡¯t receive any payments."

    "We have been sticking protective coats on for 20 years. The amount of protective coats we stick on every year is high enough to envelop the entire."

    "With a coat in hand, the world is mine!"

    "Only 998 yuan, a major discount on spatial coats. Buy one, get two free!"

    "To protect yourself, you should start with getting a film. I am a film specialist. Spatial coat, me coat, lightning coat, time coat, anything you can name, I¡¯ve got. I am a professional coat sticker. Please remember clearly this brand of mine."

    ...

    Hiss¡ª

    Chen Feng was startled awake. If that was how it was really going to be, it would be quite a terrifying scene. He looked at the battlefield. This unique battle was seemingly nearing its end. Lu Hun was simply incapable of resisting them and was being beaten endlessly by Gou Li¡¯s trio. However, why had Lu Hun not used his trump card even now? Indeed. Everyone was waiting for it. How was it possible for an old man at Lu Hun¡¯s level to not have any trump cards? Gou Li was waiting for it. Chen Feng and the rest was also waiting for it.

    All of them were aware that if Lu Hun still failed to escape this plight of his after the release of his trump card, he would truly have no hope left.

    Pu!

    Another cold gleam shed past. Gou Li¡¯s coated weapon nearly pierced through Lu Hun¡¯s chest.

    Ah.

    Lu Hun gazed at the bloodstain on his chest.

    Indeed... I can¡¯tst any longer?

    Suddenly, Lu Hun¡¯s gaze became calm. He had initially believed that this Shroud Art wouldn¡¯t be able tost long. That was why he had been persevering all this while. But now, it seemed like it didn¡¯t matter how long his opponents couldst because they could definitelyst longer than him. If so...he had no choice but to do that, then? Lu Hun sighed. If possible, he had truly hoped that the need to use that would never arise in his entire life. "Do you know? When young, my master once taught me one particr technique. He told me that this is a technique that I should never use unless I¡¯m in absolute danger. That is because this technique is simply too..." Lu Hun shook his head, not willing to finish his sentence.

    Everyone increased their vignce. Was this guy finally using his trump card? They tightened their grasps on their weapons. They were aware that this would be the final chance. Either Lu Hun would escape with this trump card or they would kill him right here.

    Shua!

    Gou Li spread the shroud all around them. All the space around this ce was locked, not giving Lu Hun any chance to escape. Even if the Shroud Art wasn¡¯t something akin to an absolute restriction, being surrounded by the coating, the present Lu Hun couldn¡¯t escape through spatial abilities, since that would be too difficult to achieve. They started approaching Lu Hun, reducing the size of the confinement around Lu Hun.

    Ah.

    Lu Hun let out a crispugh. He gazed at the sky and inhaled deeply.

    "Careful," Gou Li reminded everyone. They were aware of how terrifying Lu Hun was. Even with the Shroud Art, they would not be careless.

    Li Lei and the rest awakened from their state of energy recovery as well. Instinctively, they prepared themselves to provide any assistance required. If possible, they were not willing to allow this Lu Hun to escape as well. Beyond A9 was something a beyond A1 could notpare to at all.

    The atmosphere there became somewhat terrifying.

    "Kill!"

    Once again, the weapon in Gou Li¡¯s hand descended. Presently, as Lu Hun was gazing at the sky, a faint energy started converging toward Lu Hun. Suddenly, while still gazing at the sky, Lu Hun roared toward the sky, and his roar reached the heavens.

    Bang!

    The dark clouds in the sky were all dispersed by his roar.

    "Save! Me!" bellowed Lu Hun.

    The Gou Li trio, who had prepared to defend themselves against Lu Hun¡¯s trump card, nked.

    Save... save me?

    The people from the Gic Union were dumbstruck as well. Nobody had expected that after persevering for so long, this would be Lu Hun¡¯s trump card. There seemed to be some demonic power to that roar, as it was able to easily prate the clouds. Everyone waited with a solemn expression, yet nothing seemed to appear.

    Gou Li: "..."

    Li Lei: "..."

    Lu Hun gazed at the sky in doubt. "Nobody ising?" Next, he shook his head. Perhaps, even this roar was blocked by that damnable shroud.

    Gou Li¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Are you ying with us?"

    Had this guy been expecting to confuse their battle tactics with a simple shout? How was that possible? Li Lei and the rest curled their lips as well. Chen Feng was the only one with an odd expression on his face, because he was the only one who was aware of what it was that happened earlier.

    Through themunication device, Qin Hai exined, "I once heard this from them. When young, they were frequently beaten until they cried. As such, their master taught them a secret technique, that secret technique being shouting for help. This is a secret technique formed by some unique methods. So long as one shouts using this technique, the shout can easily prate all barriers and reach the nearest fellow apprentice. This is an extremely powerful secret technique. Naturally, they used this frequently when young. After growing up, though, they stopped using it, since it is truly too embarrassing."

    Chen Feng gained understanding. So that¡¯s the case.

    "Since I am the nearest fellow apprentice, this request for help was transmitted to me first. It was supposed to continue traveling and looking for help after that, but it was forcefully stopped by me. Otherwise, if it was allowed to continue..."

    Qin Hai shook his head. At this, Chen Feng was greatly shaken.

    Holy shit, the ancient race¡¯s version of "Drop Drop Beatdown"? 1

 Chapter 542: World of Green

    Chapter 542: World of Green

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In an unknown region.

    Lu Hun¡¯s mournful scream echoed everywhere. Unfortunately, nobody heard his scream. Thanks to Qin Hai, Lu Hun¡¯s call for help had been fated to fail from the beginning. Gou Li¡¯s trio had unsightly expressions on their face, as they felt like they had been yed for fools. Even when in such circumstances, this Lu Hun was still in the mood to y around with them? Just how much did he look down upon them?

    Gou Li¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "I refuse to believe that I won¡¯t be able to force your trump card out."

    Kill!

    The cold light in their hands intensified. A faint barrier surrounded them, evidence that Gou Li¡¯s trio had unleashed an even more powerful might. Their line of thought was a simple one: to increase the might of their attacks without stop. If it resulted in Lu Hun being forced to unleash his trump card, it would be fine. However, if he insisted on still not using his trump card, then Lu Hun could just obediently be beaten to death.

    Bang!

    A terrifying radiance erupted. Suddenly, Lu Hun shut his eyes. When the attacks of Gou Li¡¯s trio neared him, the attacks slowed down. Suddenly, the barrier around their attacks all but vanished.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint green light flickered. The entire world was seemingly enveloped in green. Beside each of them, a green cube formed of strings appeared. Each of the green strings was very clear and bright, so very dazzling amid the darkness.

    Their hearts jolted furiously. What is this? The entire world had seemingly be green at this moment. The ck rain, the Earth, everything had seemingly vanished. The only thing they could see was a boundless darkness and those sparkling and translucent green strings.

    Trump card! This was Lu Hun¡¯s trump card. Their hearts jolted. Finally... this guy had finally unleashed his trump card. However, what exactly was it? Nobody had an answer. Chen Feng checked hismunication device and noted that his call with Qin Hai had been severed. This ck space wasn¡¯t a lighting effect caused by the green strings. Rather, they had actually arrived in an entirely different space.

    "This is a different space." The spatial specialist of the Gic Union gulped before continuing, "An independently existing space."

    Lu Hun looked at all of them. "Wee to my world."

    Thump.

    Thump.

    He stepped out one step at a time. As he strode forth, green steps automatically appeared before him.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Numerous green grids swarmed around. Along with the movement of the green grids, all their surroundings changed as well.

    "What damnable thing is this?"

    Their expressions changed slightly. Space... Independent space... A lot of them had been in such a ce before. Generally, the construction of aplete space would start from the structural makeup and the perfection and stability of the space. With this, one could potentially create a brand new space out of nothing.

    Even in the Gic Union itself, there was a certain powerful gic warrior that had built his very own world of pces using this method. It was said that in his world, numerous unique pces stood. It was a mythical and glorious world, something that gic warrior had spent countless years creating.

    That was a traditional version of an independent space. It was equivalent to one owning a mini-world for oneself where one could do whatever one wished. The stronger one was, the faster the construction and the more one could ce within the world. Moreover, one¡¯s world would also be bigger and more stable. However, a world like the world before them was unheard of. This world of Lu Hun¡¯s appeared very crude, to the point that even a normal gic warrior specializing in space could construct something simr. The only thing about this world that was truly different from others was...

    Shua!

    Gou Li attempted to cut Lu Hun. However, the green grids forming the ground he stood on moved automatically, moving him away from Lu Hun.

    !!!

    Gou Li was rmed. This space was actually an active one! The things within this world were all formed of some simple strings that took on the form of grids with green-framed that were filled with green cubes and were so simple that even the grids were entirely ck apart from the green frames. However... everything in this world seemed to be alive.

    Shua! Shua!

    The green grids below everyone¡¯s feet started moving. The entire world seemed to move in ordance to Lu Hun¡¯s wishes. It seemed impossible for any attack to reach him. This was Lu Hun¡¯s space. No, to be more urate, this was Lu Hun¡¯s world, a real world.

    Hum¡ª

    Green radiance flickered on Lu Hun¡¯s green diamond without stop.

    In this world, everything belonged to Lu Hun. Different from earlier when the Shroud Art had been employed, this time, Gou Li¡¯s trio were the ones whose ability was restricted. All the connections their ability had with the outside world had been severed.

    Their strength dropped drastically and the energy exhaustion increased. Moreover, their energy recovery had stopped as well. With all this, before them all, this beyond A9 Lu Hun was no different than a god.

    Lu Hun pointed casually. "Condense!"

    Around Gou Li¡¯s trio, a huge cube formed of green strings appeared. It locked them within, restricting all movement.

    "Mhm?" Gou Li tried to move his body. Every single step he took, the cube moved forward as well in tandem with his movement. This was a pitch-ck world with pitch-ck grids framed in green everywhere. Gou Li tried taking several steps forward yet was incapable of escaping the cube-shaped prison. He might seem like he was stepping forward, but in truth, he was actually remaining in the same ce. This was a world they were not the master of. How had this happened? All of them trembled.

    In this world, Lu Hun was no different from a god. How were they supposed to battle him, then? They had indeed sessfully forced Lu Hun¡¯s trump card out. Unexpectedly, his trump card was actually this powerful. If Lu Hun had used this earlier, all of them would have died long ago.

    Eh, hold on. Suddenly, Chen Feng thought of something. Since this world was so powerful, why had Lu Hun not used it earlier and had instead allowed them to beat him up? Was he so insistent just because this was a trump card? Chen Feng recalled Lu Hun¡¯s expression from earlier. No. It was obvious that Lu Hun had been incredibly unwilling to use this ability. He would have preferred to suffer injuries than make use of this mystical world of green strings.

    Why was that? Because this was a world that hadn¡¯t yet been perfected? Or perhaps this was a world where some ws existed somewhere? Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted.

    "Spirit, help me check out this world."

    "All right."

    Spirit¡¯s nce swept past this world. The strength of her perception was built with Chen Feng¡¯s strength as the core. As such, her perception was at the level of a beyond B ss. Therefore, she failed to note any exceptions in this world.

    "Sorry," Spirit apologized. "I can¡¯t find any exceptions."

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Don¡¯t worry." The single most important purpose of Spirit was optimization.

    His beyond-B-ss perception had been greatly improved after Spirit¡¯s optimization. Initially, he had believed that this would be sufficient to discover something from this world. s, it was evident that it was still not sufficient. That was eptable, though, as even Spirit would not be so overpowered that she could transform an eMMC into a UFS.[1] 1

    Lu Hun¡¯s gaze swept past Gou Li¡¯s trio and Chen Feng. "Everyone I hate is now gathered together. Die, all of you."

    Shua!

    A green radiance erupted. On the surface of the green cubes that formed this world, numerous green strings shed past. The surface of the green cubes was transformed into something like a green mesh formed of green strings. After glowing with a chilling radiance, the cubes started closing in toward them. Everyone¡¯s expressions sank. This guy was actually nning to kill all of them in here.

    Like aser grinder, the green cubes were capable of slicing everything in existence, both man and energy.

    Chen Feng called inwardly, "Spirit."

    Spirit nodded. "Understood."

    Noiselessly, Luck Aura activated and the optimization began.

    Shua! Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s luck value dropped rapidly, and Spiritpleted the task. Chen Feng¡¯s gaze shot around disorderly before finally settling on a specific spot within the world. There, a different power could be felt.

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze became focused. Is this your weakness? Let me take a look at what the weakness is, then.

 Chapter 543: Chen Feng, What Are You Doing?

    Chapter 543: Chen Feng, What Are You Doing?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The world of green.

    In this world where Lu Hun was akin to a deity, Chen Feng had discovered an abnormality. In a certain corner of this space, a unique aura could be found. This was the aura of a power that did not belong to this world. This thing...

    Both Chen Feng¡¯s eyes became sharp. This space was too unique; it possessed everything an ordinary space would not possess. As a space, it had be an independent world, possessing all the conditions required for a world to exist. This remained consistent for the entirety of this world, apart from that spot at that certain corner. There, the aura of the outside world could be felt by Chen Feng.

    Finally, Chen Feng understood. "This is an iplete world." It was no wonder that Lu Hun had been so unwilling to deploy this world. This world was iplete in the first ce! Using countless years, he had gradually transformed this space into a real world. Presently, he was around 1% frompletion. Only when this space reachedpletion would it be a true independent world.

    But right now, that remaining 1% was sufficient to copse this world.

    Shua!

    Suddenly, Lu Hun¡¯s gazended on Chen Feng, and his heart thumped. "Has he noticed it?"

    This was why he had been unwilling to use this world of green. Prior topletion, this world would still be too weak. There was still a possibility of threatening thepletion of this world. Indeed, Chen Feng had discovered it. One ought to know that any tiny damage this world suffered would be equivalent to several years of Lu Hun¡¯s hard work gone. However...

    Lu Hun¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "You guys are the ones forcing me to do this."

    Even at the cost of reducing thepletion status of this world, he had to ensure the death of all these people. Since this world was already deployed, how would he hold his hand so easily?

    Lu Hun¡¯s cold voice waffled forth. "All of you... deserve death!"

    Bang!

    A terrifying radiance erupted. A dazzling green sh appeared, increasing the speed of the cubes greatly.

    Defend! Everyone erected their defenses hastily.

    Bang!

    s, the super-powerful defenses of beyond A sses were crushed instantly. In this world, nothing was capable of stopping Lu Hun, except...

    Xiu!

    Chen Feng pointed midair.

    Ka!

    Instantly, the entire world trembled. As for the cubes that were closing in toward them, they trembled before halting their movement as the green of the entire world dimmed. However, this onlysted a split second before the cubes started moving again. Lu Hun did not waste any time stopping. Once again, Chen Feng attacked. Thepletion status of this world was reduced by 2%, causing Lu Hun¡¯s hard work over several decades to go down the drain.

    s, the present Lu Hun waspletely ignoring Chen Feng. He had calcted that before they were all killed, Chen Feng would only have the time tounch three attacks. Three attacks would only reduce thepletion status by around 6% at most. This was still eptable for Lu Hun.

    Lu Hun¡¯s gaze became bitingly cold. "Let me use this 6% to send you all to hell."

    Bang!

    Once again, Chen Feng attacked. Indeed, this time, just 2% of thepletion status was reduced as well.

    Chen Feng could keenly feel that this wasn¡¯t good enough. "This won¡¯t do."

    That was because he had suddenly noticed that he would only have one more chance to attack this world before the cubes reached them and started killing all of them. It was evident that Lu Hun had already calcted the gap between his attacks. This would not work at all.

    Chen Feng looked at Spirit. If luck value was utilized... "Spirit, do you have any other ideas?"

    Spirit shook her head. "No. No exploitable probability can be found. In this circumstance, if Luck Aura is activated, it will only solve this using brute force rather than manipting probability."

    Forceful maniption...

    Chen Feng sighed. He understood what Spirit was trying to say. This was also something Chen Feng was unwilling to do. What Spirit meant was the usage of luck in the truest sense. In fact, before Spirit had appeared, this method had been frequently used by Chen Feng. By burning all his luck value, he would leave everything up to fate, to see what fate could do for him with the luck value he had. As for the results of such a usage of luck value, it was unpredictable.

    "Do I really have to use such a method?" Chen Feng sighed. They had sessfully forced Lu Hun¡¯s trump card out. Unexpectedly, this was the result. Lu Hun was indeed worthy of being an old monster that had been alive for countless years. With this world of green in his hands, Lu Hun was almost akin to an immortal. It was simply impossible to kill him using regr methods.

    World of green...

    Chen Feng started sensing that one and only weakness of this world. This was a weakness that did not seem to exist when sensed regrly. Even Chen Feng had only sensed the position of this weakness with the help of Spirit. Initially, this world had been 99%plete. Now, it was only 95%plete. With Chen Feng¡¯s present strength, it was impossible for him to shake this world enough before all of them were killed.

    "Seems like I have no other options." Chen Feng inhaled deeply. Since things were already this way, he had no choice but to gamble using his luck value.

    Right as Chen Feng was about to make his move, his gaze swept past the green strings. Suddenly, he came to a realization. In itself, this was not a regr world. Even if this space had already taken the form of a world, even if it was already capable of operating independently, it was stillpletely different from a real world. Apart from thews here, everything here, even the form and the substance, was different.

    For example, those green strings. Each of these strings was in factprised of spiritual energy.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng realized, This is a spiritual world.

    Spiritual energy... Yes, this was indeed a world that operated on pure spiritual energy. Everything here, especially those green strings, was formed of spiritual energy. Pervading the air was spiritual energy as well. Thankfully, Chen Feng was very good at dealing with something like this.

    "Xiao Ying," Chen Feng called inwardly.

    Shua!

    A red sh streaked out. Instantly, Xiao Ying left this world to reach the real world outside before once again entering this world of green.

    Lu Hun was obviously given a fright by this. "What is this?" Even if his world of green was 99%plete, it was still not a world any random thing could leave as it wished. Even these beyond A sses were trapped here. How had that red light...

    Chen Feng merelyughed sinisterly. "Hehe." The only reason Xiao Ying had traveled outside beforeing back into this world was to bring back an ordinary gene reagent.

    Lu Hun, even at your strength, I reckon you have never experienced what the true limit of spiritual energy is, right? What is the limit for you, a beyond A9? Do you want to find out? Chen Feng grinned. Well then, let me give you some help, Lu Hun.

    Ka!

    The gene reagent in his hand was crushed.

    Bang!

    A terrifying undtion swept out. Instantly, countless particles swarmed every nook and corner of this green world. Lu Hun widened his eyes.

    At this moment, he felt like he had suddenly be unprecedentedly powerful. Moreover, a feeling had also arisen within him that he would only require one more day to fullyplete this profound world of his.

    This is... peak spiritual affinity?

    This was something he had never felt. Chen Feng had actually assisted him in entering such a state. What was that man thinking? Had he gone crazy? Lu Hun had no answer to that question. However, due to his spiritual affinity being pushed to the peak, he could clearly feel that he was inconceivably powerful now. The same applied to the cubes he was controlling. Earlier, he would still have required a single short instant before he could kill them all. Now, though, he could immediately send them all to their death.

    "Hehe. I¡¯m sorry. It seems like Chen Feng is the one who has delivered death to you all," Lu Hun stated with a sinister appearance.

    Die!

    He waved his hand lightly.

    Shua!

    With a terrifying speed, the cubes reached them.

    Pu!

    Chapter 544: You Ruined Me

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Is it done?

    Chen Feng gazed at the Lu Hun whose strength had obviously increased. The aurora reagent was a mystical gene reagent created by Chen Feng. This gene reagent was ssified as a gene virus, yet in Chen Feng¡¯s hand, it had been transformed into an extremely powerful trump card. This time, rather than using it himself, Chen Feng had used it on Lu Hun.

    The reason for this course of action was simple. It was for the sake of creating an otherwise nonexistent probability. Toward feats with no chance of sess, Luck Aura could only employ brute force. However, if this gene virus was used to alter Lu Hun¡¯s state and create a probability that could be exploited, things would be simpler.

    An example was what was happening currently. Even if Lu Hun was now even more powerful than he had previously been, so powerful that he seemed unrivaled, the aurora reagent had taken effect. This was the very gene reagent that had been transformed into an extremely godly gene reagent by Chen Feng. Despite the numerous benefits this gene reagent granted the user, it was still ultimately a gene virus.

    It seemed like, as time passed, a lot of people had already forgotten what virus mode was. This was especially true for the effects of the aurora reagent, a gene reagent that could select random genes within the user¡¯s body to destroy at any time. Moreover, this effect was permanent. If it wasn¡¯t for the existence of Chen Feng¡¯s Myriad Illusions and his Luck Aura, he wouldn¡¯t even dare use this gene reagent on himself. As for Lu Hun?

    Hehe.

    Shua!

    The killer cubes descended upon them. Everyone looked at the hastened cubes in despair, unable to think of a single solution. s, right when the cubesnded on them...

    Shua!

    A sh of green appeared and the cubes vanished. Everyone nked.

    Lu Hun was dumbstruck as well. Gone? How was this possible? Was this the trump card of Gou Li¡¯s trio? Lu Hun frowned before waving his hand. With that, several cubes reappeared, surrounded them, and once again closed in upon them. In his present state, these people weren¡¯t even qualified to struggle when he wanted to kill them.

    Hum¡ª

    The green cubes neared them. Yet again, rming everyone, the moment the cubes were about tond on them, they vanished.

    ???

    Lu Hun¡¯s eyes widened.

    This time, he had been able to get a clear look. These green strings that had formed the cubes had transformed into countless green particles before vanishing. The cubes hadn¡¯t been blocked. Rather, they had directly ruptured. What was going on? Lu Hun felt doubtful.

    Shua!

    As he was about to check out what was happening, he found with astonishment that among his fingers, one of them was slowly dissipating amid the air. Suddenly, the entire finger ruptured.

    !!!

    This time, Lu Hun was truly frightened. What was it this time?

    Bang! Bang!

    Suddenly, the world of green started trembling. Lu Hun¡¯s will and body were heavily injured, so this world of green became unstable. Lu Hun¡¯s expression sank as he forcefully stabilized this world. s, the sight before his eyes seemed to be vanishing gradually as well.

    An rmed expression appeared on Lu Hun¡¯s face. "My eyes!" He could clearly feel that he had lost his sight. Only now did he realize that everything within his body was copsing slowly as his genes vibrated at a rapid speed. This feeling... was simr to what would happen when one overexerted one¡¯s spiritual energy.

    At this, Lu Hun gained understanding. This was the cost he had to pay as a result of Chen Feng forcing his spiritual energy to its limit.

    Hum¡ª

    The world before him darkened. What Lu Hun could see started reducing. Ultimately, he could no longer see anything. Only endless darkness could be seen from his eyes.

    "No!" Lu Hun screamed mournfully.

    Even if this was a gene virus, as an apex expert of the ancient race, the number of genes contained within his body was supposed to be frighteningly huge. Why had the genes in his eyes been the very first ones to rupture? The probability of this happening was supposed to be lower than 0.0001%, right? Why was this happening? Lu Hun despaired.

    Bang!

    The world trembled.

    Along with the Lu Hun¡¯s mental copse, this worldpletely copsed.

    Bang! Bang!

    The world of green copsed, and everyone returned to the real world.

    Lu Hun panicked. "No! This can¡¯t happen!" The world before him was eternally shrouded in darkness. He could no longer see anything. Why... why had this happened? Lu Hun was bewildered. "Chen Feng!" Lu Hun spat out with his teeth clenched. It had to be him! It was this damnable fellow again! "I want to kill you!" spat Lu Hun one word at a time.

    Bang!

    The copsing world of green was forced to dissipate by Lu Hun. Next, all the energy he had poured into the world of green all these years was reabsorbed into his body.

    Bang!

    A terrifying green radiance swirled around Lu Hun¡¯s body. His eyes, which could no longer see anything, were shrouded by a boundless green.

    Hum¡ª

    His hand raised, and a green sword coalesced there.

    "Careful!" Li Lei reminded everyone. This was the condensation of the power of an entire world. Even if the world of green no longer existed, the present Lu Hun was still a terrifying existence.

    Energy worth 20% of thepleted world of green concentrated in Lu Hun¡¯s pair of eyes, and energy worth 30% of thepleted world of green concentrated in that sword he held. These were the equivalent of nearly all the energy Lu Hun had umted throughout the years.

    Shua!

    Lu Hun swiped forth with his sword. Chen Feng, who had been bracing himself, managed to barely dodge this sh.

    Bang!

    A terrifying crack appeared on the ground below Lu Hun and started spreading for a distance of several kilometers before stopping. This was Lu Hun¡¯s present strength.

    "He won¡¯t be able tost long."

    Everyone could see it clearly. From the moment the world of green had copsed, Lu Hun had been finished. Now that his greatest trump card was gone, Lu Hun was not a match for Gou Li¡¯s trio. However, the most pressing question was this: how long could theyst under his assault? Could theyst until Lu Hun¡¯s death? The present Lu Hun seemed even scarier than before.

    "Chen Feng!" Lu Hun roared, His roar was filled with hatred. "You ruined my eyes. You ruined my world. You ruined my wife. You ruined my everything!" Lu Hun¡¯s indignant roar surged to the skies.

    Hearing this, everyone¡¯s amazed gazended on Chen Feng, who presently had an innocent expression stered on his face. Holy sh*t, they were indeed aware that Chen Feng had ruined Lu Hun¡¯s eyes and world, but what was up with that ruined wife?

    Shua! Shua!

    Numerous green shes streaked past.

    The deranged Lu Hun shed his weapon at Chen Feng without stop.

    Damn it! Chen Feng clenched his teeth as he dodged constantly. The present Lu Hun was too strong. As such, Chen Feng wouldn¡¯t be able to resist even a single attack. The only thing he could do was escape everywhere, cutting a sorry figure. Even this feat of his was with the premise of Lu Hun being blind. Despite this...

    Pu! Pu!

    Numerous cuts still appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    The attack range of that green sword was too huge. Rather than calling it a sword, it would be more apt to call it a pole or something. What kind of sword had such great range?

    Bang!

    Another attacknded. Just as Chen Feng was about to fail to persevere, several figures appeared to block in front of him.

    Chen Feng was somewhat surprised. "It¡¯s you guys."

    "It¡¯s us," one answered calmly. Chen Feng recognized this person. This was one of the members of Gou Li¡¯s squad, a person called Qi Yin. Initially, they had been responsible for sealing Lu Hun¡¯s escape route. Now that Lu Hun¡¯s condition was such, there was no longer any needs to keep sealing the escape routes. As such, they had alle over.

    Qi Yin gazed at the Lu Hun before them. "Chen Feng, leave the rest to us."

    Fu Huo, who had arrived together with Qi Yin, indifferently said, "We have been waiting way too long for today..."

 Chapter 545: The True Shroud Art

    Chapter 545: The True Shroud Art

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang!

    Two of them took one step forward. Instantly, a terrifying power erupted from them. These two had actually reached beyond A ss as well. Moreover, the weapons they held were simrly shrouded with a familiar power, the power of Shroud Art.

    Shua! Shua!

    With them joining the battle, Gou Li¡¯s group of five formed a circle around Lu Hun, surrounding him with a mysterious power. Within this circle, the power of Shroud Art was everywhere.

    "Scram!" Lu Hun was furious. At present, the only person he wanted to kill was Chen Feng.

    "I¡¯m sorry." Gou Liughed sinisterly. "At present, we only want to kill you. From the moment our close ones died, we have been waiting for the arrival of this day, the day we get to kill you. Finally, our wait is over. You might hate Chen Feng; s, I¡¯m sorry to inform you that he is our benefactor."

    Shua! Shua!

    The feet of the five of them never stopped moving. They attacked Lu Hun while at the same time moving without stop around him. With these movements, a mysterious and abstruse power was seemingly brewing within the circle.

    "Scram!" Lu Hun roared in a deranged manner. At this time, he no longer had any intellect. The only thing that upied his brain was his desire to kill Chen Feng. These few people that kept getting in his way were incredibly annoying, yet he was incapable of killing them.

    Bang! Bang!

    Lu Hun tried throwing them off several times, yet each attempt failed as his advance was blocked by them.

    Li Lei was shocked. "Is the power of Shroud Art so powerful?" The present Lu Hun was a beyond A9 peak expert. Even with that, he was still being used to wipe the floor by five beyond A1 fellows. This was simply two powers inpletely different realms. This Shroud Art...

    Bang! Bang!

    Lu Hun was still struggling crazily. As for Gou Li¡¯s group, they firmly maintained their encirclement. Each time they managed to knock Lu Hun down, a bloody scar was left on his body, causing blood to stter everywhere.

    Suddenly, Gou Li asked, "Chen Feng, are you interested in learning Shroud Art?"

    Chen Feng was astonished. "I can learn them as well?"

    Gou Li shook his head. "You can¡¯t. Shroud Art is too unique. For a regr person, any attempts at learning them will only be met with a dead end. From what we recall, Bo Quzhi was the only person capable of learning them."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    "However..." Gou Li smiled. "Ultimately, this thing is still an inheritance. Perhaps, in the future, someone will be able to learn it. Or perhaps, in the future, after you guys have improved it, you guys will be able to use it. There are other possibilities too. In short, you will be able to see clearly soon enough. At that time, learn as much as you can," Gou Li finished with a smile.

    "???"

    Chen Feng had a vague ominous feeling. These words... Suddenly, Chen Feng felt like things did not seem too right. Apart from Bi Quzhi, nobody else could employ this skill? What about them? s, before Chen Feng could voice his questions, he noticed an abnormality.

    Shua!

    The steps of Gou Li¡¯s group suddenly elerated.

    Hum¡ª

    Finally, a formidable power surged. Numerous bizarre looking seals appeared midair. Everyone¡¯s heart trembled. They could clearly see that these seals were the representative of the power of Shroud Art.

    Shua! Shua!

    Right at this moment, an astonishing thing happened. As that surging power increased in might, Gou Li¡¯s group rapidly aged.

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression sank. "What are you guys doing? Stop!"

    "We can¡¯t stop anymore..." The hoarse voice of Gou Li sighed with emotion. "From the moment we started using this power several years ago, everything was fated. Shroud Art... this is the power of Bi Quzhi. The cost of using this power is one¡¯s vitality."

    Bang!

    Once again, Lu Hun was knocked down by them.

    The group of five muttered without stop. "Chen Feng, this is what we owe you. Chen Feng, this is how we repay you. Thank you for bringing us hope back then. Thank you for bringing us here today. That girl has already been waiting for me for ten-odd years on the other side. She has a bad temper. I expect she is already anxious from the wait. I guess it¡¯s time I go meet her."

    At the same time.

    Finally, that terrifying power belonging to only Bi Quzhi wasunched by thebined effort of Gou Li¡¯s group andnded on Lu Hun¡¯s body.

    Bang!

    A terrifying power erupted. The entire world was nketed by a scorching white.

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah¡ª"

    Lu Hun¡¯s mournful scream echoed everywhere. This peak beyond-A-ss superexpert, this superexpert of the ancient race, this person who had personally started his grudge with Gou Li¡¯s group back then, finally died here.

    Slowly, the mournful scream vanished. The white dispersed slowly as well. As the white faded, the bodies of Gou Li¡¯s group became illusory. Chen Feng¡¯s gazended on them. He could seemingly see several departing figures. With their revenge taken, on each of their faces was a rxed smile. Gou Li, Guo Jia, Sheng Shiyi, Qi Yin, and Fu Huo...

    At this time, the transparent barrier activated by Gou Li¡¯s group in the beginning was slowly transforming into countless light particles before vanishing from the air. Amid those dim particles, a single figure could be vaguely seen.

    "Bi Quzhi..." Chen Feng muttered.

    After a long time, everything returned to normal. On the ground, only a huge crater was left behind. Lu Hun was gone. Some of them had seemingly seen Lu Hun being evaporated forcefully by that terrifying power, not even leaving a single trace behind. Or perhaps his entire body was gone due to the rupture of his spiritual energy.

    Gou Li¡¯s group was gone as well. By forcefully using the Shroud Art, they had ultimately overexerted their vitality. Everything was finally over.

    Li Lei sighed. "Is this the power of Shroud Art?"

    It was no wonder that the power was so strong. By paying one¡¯s vitality as the cost, how could the resulting power not be strong? Such a power, regardless of circumstances, was something that would remain a forbidden skill.

    "What they paid was their vitality and time?" someone asked.

    However, nobody replied, as nobody knew the answer. Chen Feng stared nkly at where Gou Li¡¯s group had vanished.

    Li Lei patted his shoulder. "My condolences."

    He was aware that these people had been friends of Chen Feng¡¯s. He was also aware that in a way, these people were the ones who had saved them all, their benefactors!

    "This time, we will submit an application to the higher-ups after returning. They are the heroes of humanity. As such, their families and rtives will receive the greatest honor of all," Li Lei stated solemnly.

    Chen Feng nodded. "Mhm." Right at this moment, someone picked up an emblem from the ground.

    "What is this?" The person picked it up cautiously. "This thing seems like something of Gou Li¡¯s."

    "Is that so?" Li Lei took it. Suddenly, a bright radiance erupted.

    Hum¡ª

    The intense radiance shone brightly, so bright that everyone instinctively shut their eyes. On that emblem, numerous seals appeared and shone brightly. Slowly, a formidable yet mysterious power started rising, chilling everyone present.

    Shua! Shua!

    Numerous scenes shed past. Li Lei and the rest werepletely dazzled by the shing scenes. With the exception of Chen Feng, all of them frowned, not knowing exactly what these things were. Chen Feng fixed his gaze on those seals.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Spirit started urately and faithfully recording everything. Afterparing the data received from Gou Li earlier with this newfound data, this initially iplete set of information was suddenlypleted.

    This thing...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes widened. This was Bi Quzhi¡¯s power! This was... the true Shroud Art!

 Chapter 546: Letâ€™s See How Amazing You Are

    Chapter 546: Let¡¯s See How Amazing You Are

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance trembled. The information from the mysterious seal was gradually revealed clearly in Chen Feng¡¯s mind. This was apletely brand-new energy operating system, an original energy operating system created by Bi Quzhi.

    Shroud Art...

    Chen Feng sighed. He had never expected that Bi Quzhi had truly perfected this. He had also never expected that before the demise of Gou Li¡¯s group, they would truly pass this on to him. However, although all the data and inheritance were already in Chen Feng¡¯s mind, with a single look, Chen Feng was already aware that this was something he could not afford to use. Every single use of this technique would require one to pay one¡¯s own vitality as a cost.

    Perhaps, it was as Gou Li had said. When this technique was improved or encountered its fated owner, it would be able to once again disy its true power to the world.

    Li Lei seemed to covet it. "This thing..."

    "You have been thinking too much," Chen Feng grumbled. "This is a spatial barrier, something produced specifically to counter Lu Hun. As such, it can only be useful against someone with an ability like Lu Hun¡¯s. As for the cost of using this technique, haven¡¯t you seen it for yourself?"

    "Fine." Li Lei could only give up on his thoughts. They stared ahead. There, the figures of Lu Hun, Gou Li, and the others were already gone. Here in this corner of the unknown region, only their group was left behind. On the ground, there were still several ancient race corpses remaining.

    Someoneughed bitterly. "We have still ultimately failed our initial mission."

    "True."

    At this, they recalled the reason they had ended up here in the first ce: the devil race.

    In their initial n, they were supposed to put an end to the "major boss" of the devil race and plunder the S-ss genes from that "major boss" in order to break through the present limit of humanity. How had it changed into a battle to the death with Lu Hun, then?

    Oh, yeah. Because of that pee. They all recalled the scene they had seen.

    Li Lei spread his hands. "What should we do?"

    Everyone smiled bitterly. "What else? We failed."

    With their present strength, facing that legendary S-ss expert was no different than courting death. It was quite probable that even with all of them, they wouldn¡¯t be able to do much against that expert. How were they supposed to battle a person of such strength?

    "What if we return and request reinforcements?" someone proposed.

    Li Lei shook his head. "It would still be useless. That fellow is much stronger than you even in your wildest dreams. Unless humanity is prepared to lose a huge amount of beyond A sses, it is impossible for humanity to face that fellow head-on."

    Everyone was in a heavy mood. Could they kill that S-ss fellow off? Yes, they could. But what would be the price for that? A huge amount of beyond A sses would fall. Could humanity afford such a cost? Yes, the blood essence of an S ss was a precious item. However, this did not mean that after defeating that ancient race fellow, humanity would definitely enter S ss. Rather, with this blood essence, humanity would only be able to start researching S ss... That was all. This research might be a sess, but it might be a failure as well.

    Li Lei sighed. "Forget it." It was too risky. At present, humanity couldn¡¯t afford to take such a risk.

    Someone was anxious. "If we really let that fellow off just like that, what if he were to enter human territory in the future?"

    Li Lei sneered. "He is wee to try. If we tried hunting him down here, we would have to pay a huge price, but if the battle were to happen in human territory, hehe... The Research Agency has a huge number of high-energy equipment that we can¡¯t bring along during this trip due to that equipment being hard to move. If that fellow dares to step foot into human territory, hehe..."

    The rest exchanged nces. Only after hearing this did they heave a sigh of relief.

    They stood up. "Let¡¯s go."

    Li Lei turned his screen on and opened the mission interface system. Just as he was about to submit the failure of this mission, Chen Feng suddenly walked over and said, "Says who that we have failed the mission?"

    Shua!

    Instantly, everyone stopped what they had been doing. Li Lei¡¯s astonished gazended on Chen Feng. "What do you mean?"

    Chen Feng pondered the matter. "Mhm... although we are not a match for that expert... Please hold on."

    Shua!

    With a sh of red, a pitch-ck and bizarre figure appeared and streaked across the air in a perfect curve before smashing into the ground. Devil race? The expressions of the others all sank. However, when they get a clear look at this new arrival, their expressions became somewhat odd. Indeed, this was a devil. However... the devil that had appeared here was rather unique. This was the very cause for the failure of their mission, the one who had caused this failure. This was the young prince of the devil race.

    One of them was shocked. "Urine... Urine God?"

    Hearing this, the young prince¡¯s expression immediately darkened.

    "When did you kidnap this fellow?" Li Lei eximed in admiration.

    Chen Fengughed happily. "When we were being chased by that boss of the devil race." When that expert had been chasing them, Chen Feng had told Xiao Ying to kidnap this young prince, taking the advantage of the fact that everyone¡¯s attention was concentrated on these humans at that time...

    Mhm...

    What wless execution. And the reason for kidnapping this prince was to prevent the devil race expert from using this young prince as a summoning tool toplete the restoration of all the other big shots of the devil race who were still slumbering. To prevent this, kidnapping was the only option. But then, how should they deal with this prince now? This was rather troublesome.

    Li Lei frowned. "How should we deal with this?" This fellow had an esteemed identity as the young prince of the devil race and also the future of the devil race. However, this fact would only remain true before the restoration of all the true experts of the devil race. To allow that expert from earlier to be awakened in advance, that old devil had used such a unique method toplete the summon. Evidently, this young prince was not someone they had intended to keep around for long. The rtionship between the devils and this young prince had long been severed.

    The present young devil prince was someonepletely worthless to both the humans and devils. Using the prince to threaten the devils? They would most probably be ignored. Killing this young prince? It would be somewhat of a waste, though. It was truly astonishing how this glorious devil prince had now be baggage. Li Lei¡¯s head ached.

    Chen Feng smiled toyingly. "His true worth is not in his identity as a prince. Have you all forgotten the reason for the failure of our mission this time? I am rather curious about how amazing the urine of this dear young prince here is. If we can research it properly and try to solve our problem from a different perspective, then perhaps..."

    Shua!

    Everyone¡¯s eyes shone. Indeed, the advanced awakening of that expert was closely rted to this young prince. Why was it possible for that expert to be awakened in advance? Why had that expert been filled with the smell of urine? What secrets were there within this young prince¡¯s body? If they could answer all these questions and reverse engineer it, then perhaps...

    "Good." Li Lei stood up emotionally.

    The rest had burning gazes as well.

    Shua!

    Their gazesnded on the young prince uniformly. Instinctively, their gazes lowered toward the young prince¡¯s crotch.

    "What... are you guys nning to do?" The young prince covered his crotch and hid in a certain corner, trembling with fear. He had a feeling thatpared with these humans, he was the weaker life-form instead while these terrifying humans were the actual devils.

    "Hehehehe..."

    Perverseughter resounded as several burly humans started dragging the young prince into the dark...

    Chapter 547: From Now On, I Am the King!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In the ancient race¡¯s Land of Legacy.

    Suddenly, a drizzle started pattering down. Those experts who were in the midst of their cultivation were all startled awake. Gazes overwhelmed with shock were aimed at the sky. If they remembered correctly, thest time such a drizzle had fallen, it was when that senior apprentice sister of theirs had died? This time...

    Bang!

    The entire Land of Legacy shook as one particr person charged rapidly into the ancestral hall. There, one particr name had been colored grey, a grey that would remain for all eternity. Lu Hun... finally, that brilliant green had stopped burning.

    An overcast and hoarse voice resounded. "Who is it..."

    "They are already dead as well." One of them gazed at the empty space and was able to see the scene of Lu Hun being killed by Gou Li¡¯s group. "This is karma resulting from grudges. The survivors from what Lu Hun did ten-odd years ago returned to die together with him."

    Everyone sank into silence. Dying together... If so, they truly had no way of seeking revenge against the killers.

    "No request for help was received on our side?"

    "No."

    They sighed. With how stubborn Lu Hun was, he had most probably been unwilling to seek help even as he¡¯d been dying.

    "Is there a need for such stubbornness?"

    Their mood sank. Why had things be this way? For so many years, nobody from the Land of Legacy had ever died. This was especially true for the few of them who were among the apex existences of this world. But now, two of them were lost one after the other... One was their senior apprentice sister, the other Lu Hun.

    "Have we found the killer of our senior apprentice sister?" Master Mu asked as his eyes gleamed coldly.

    "Yes. Her name is Wang Yao. On that day, she went to senior apprentice sister¡¯s residence alone and killed everyone there. After that, she vanished," one person responded in a low voice.

    Master Mu¡¯s killing intent surged. "Vanished?"

    "Yes. Regardless of how we search, we can¡¯t find any trace of her. That youngdy has seemingly vanished into nothingness."

    Bang!

    Thunder roared at the Land of Legacy. Master Mu¡¯s killing intent was on the verge of erupting.

    They couldn¡¯t do anything to avenge Lu Hun since his killers had perished together with him. But even though their senior apprentice sister had been murdered right at her home, they couldn¡¯t even find the murderer?

    Master Mu red at them. "All of you are the apex experts of your respective domains!"

    "It¡¯s not their fault," a youth said suddenly. "The disappearance of that youngdy is probably rted to Chen Feng."

    "Chen Feng?"

    Master Mu calmed down. This was not the first time he had heard this name. One could say that he was now very familiar with this name. Back then, he had even met this Chen Feng guy when he had gone undercover as Wang Feng in the Mysterious Organization. That damnable bastard!

    "Wang Yao is his girlfriend. She has formidable strength and is a beyond A ss. As such, it is impossible for Chen Feng to just let herze around doing nothing. However, after that incident, she vanishedpletely. Even when Chen Feng encountered danger, she did not appear." The youth finished his words slowly. "As such, we suspect that her disappearance is the work of Chen Feng."

    "Chen Feng..."

    They muttered this name. If they had to select a single human who had left the deepest impression on them, it would be this very Chen Feng. This was the fellow who even the ancient race would regard as a freakish existence.

    "Is Master still in seclusion?"

    "Yes."

    "..."

    "Can we kill Chen Feng?"

    "We won¡¯t be able to do it. At present, he is the absolute treasure of humanity. Everyone is protecting him with all they have. To kill him, we would have to utilize the entirety of the ancient race just to stand a chance," the youth stated calmly.

    It was truly too difficult a feat to kill Chen Feng.

    He had once attempted to kill Chen Feng as well, yet he had been stopped by a mysterious, unknown power. From that, he was aware that Chen Feng¡¯s body had to possess some secret.

    A faint voice echoed in the air. "Tell Qin Hai to end the rebellion as soon as possible. We can no longer ignore the humans."

    The youth sighed. "Our present problem is not the humans... Rather, it is the devils. That person has suddenly awakened, and his location is rather near the ce where Lu Hun met his end. Our guess is that Lu Hun¡¯s death might be rted to him as well. Lu Hun might have been gravely injured by that person, allowing his enemies from back then to have a chance at ending his life."

    "Devil race..." Master Mu¡¯s voice was filled with disdain. That race akin to animals had been restored again?

    One of them sighed. "Stop looking down on them. Have you guys not discovered where the problem lies? The ancient race, which was supposed to be high above everyone else, is suddenly surrounded by enemies on all sides, such as the humans and the devils. If we can¡¯t deal with this properly, the ancient race will truly be in danger. Even if Master has never said anything about this, I do not wish for the first thing Master sees after his seclusion to be a destroyed ancient race."

    Everyonepsed into silence. True, since when had the ancient race degenerated to such an extent?

    "Raise our vignce. We can no longer look down on the devils and humans."

    ***

    Devil race.

    They were still celebrating their victory. Since reawakening, they had suffered numerous defeats. Defeated by the ancients and humans without stop, they were no different than those "experience farms" in games. Now, though, they had finally regained their glory, beating both the humans and ancients that had entered their territory this time.

    "Hahaha."

    The devils celebrated. Countless people surrounded the old devil and the giant devil. At this moment, the ground trembled. Suddenly, the giant devil opened his eyes.

    "I... have returned!"

    Bang!

    Thunder roared. Instantly, those dull eyes were filled with life.

    However, the first thing he noticed after awakening was the rming odor on his body. His nose wrinkled, and shortly after, he understood clearly what had happened.

    Shua!

    His sharp gazended on the old devil. "How dare you!"

    Bang!

    His howl thundered.

    Bang!

    His hand grabbed at the old devil. "You dare use such a method to resurrect me? To even use my descendant as the catalyst for this, how dare you!" roared the furious giant devil.

    The other devils were all rmed. However, that terrifying attack of his was ultimately stopped. Just as his gigantic palm reached the old devil, he had seemingly encountered a terrifying force that stopped his advance.

    "Do you really think that I have made no preparations at all?" the old devil asked with a sinister expression.

    Bang!

    A shiny seal was imprinted on the giant devil¡¯s forehead.

    "From today onward... you can assume the role of my puppet," the old devil howled.

    Endless radiance swirled around the giant devil¡¯s body as the imprint radiated brightly. Next, the initially bright eyes of the giant devil became nk again, and once more, the giant devil became as dull as before.

    Bang!

    Loudly, the giant devil knelt on the ground. Starting from his palm, slowly, the old devil stepped up, went past the giant devil¡¯s shoulders, and ultimately reached the immense head of this giant devil.

    "From today onward, I am the emperor of the devil race."

    Shua!

    Countless devils prostrated before him. High in the sky, that ck rain was bing even heavier.

    At present time, at the Gic Union, Chen Feng and Spirit were busy researching something new. Despite how good the inheritance left behind by Gou Li was, it didn¡¯t have any substantial use. As such, Chen Feng had to improve it.

    He looked at Spirit. "Are you sure that there¡¯s no problem now?" He was aware of how terrifying this Shroud Art was. He had no intention of reducing his life span for no apparent reason.

    Spirit nodded. "Mhm. This Shroud Art was created with Bi Quzhi as the core. The subsequent version created by Gou Li¡¯s group was merely an imitation rather than the true Shroud Art. Therefore, to recreate the true Shroud Art, improvements are required," Spirit exined seriously.

    "All right." Chen Feng inhaled. "Come, then."

    He himself wanted to see clearly how much luck value would be required to improve this technique. Could he evenplete it at all? Could he create a Shroud Art that truly belonged to the humans?

 Chapter 548: A Day Filled with Scent

    Chapter 548: A Day Filled with Scent

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the Gic Union.

    This was aboratory with ice-blue ss walls. The researchers of the Gic Union were watching on coldly. Beside them were the people of the Gene Production Association and the Research Agency. Everyone was silently gazing into the room. There, some sort of radiance was flickering as all the equipment within was analyzing a certain bottle of transparent liquid.

    Di! Di!

    The rm buzzed and the rm signal flickered without stop. A stream of detailed data was disyed on the screen.

    ----

    Scent: 98

    Countenance: Unstable

    State: Liquid

    Characteristic: Analyzing...

    Energy: Analyzing...

    ...

    ----

    Shu!

    Every time a new set of data appeared, it was disyed on the screen. This continued until the analysis reached the energy part. At this point, it seemed like this analysis stage would be stuck forever.

    Analyzing...

    Analyzing...

    Even after half an hour, it was still analyzing.

    They all frowned. "Is it stuck?"

    One of the staffers there was doubtful. "That¡¯s not supposed to be possible. This is thetest analyzing equipment. Even when it was used to analyze the energy of those beyond experts back then, it didn¡¯t get stuck. Why would it be stuck now?"

    "What¡¯s going on, then?"

    They had an odd feeling.

    "Shall we restart it?"

    "Let¡¯s continue waiting for a bit."

    "Fine."

    Their curiosity was piqued. Thereupon, everyone stood before the analyzing equipment waiting for the result. Half an hour, one hour, two hours, four hours, and then one entire day passed, yet it was still analyzing.

    They were astonished.

    "???"

    "Is it really stuck?"

    "Let¡¯s restart it."

    "All right."

    One person stepped forth and prepared to restart the equipment.

    Right at this instant, the data that hadn¡¯t changed for one entire day started flickering. On the screen, rows of brand new data appeared.

    "The analysis isplete!"

    They were overjoyed. Just as they were about to start reading the newly appeared data, the red rm light on the analyzing equipment started zing.

    Shua! Shua!

    All the data disappeared.

    The ear-piercing rm resounded. "Warning! Warning!"

    Their expressions sank. "This is bad!"

    Bang!

    Instantly, the firmboratory exploded.

    "Careful!"

    "Activate the highest level of defense!"

    "Understood."

    Hum¡ª

    Ayer of blue radiance surrounded the room. The terrifying energy wave poured out, filling the entireboratory and continuing on toward the observers around the room. The energy wave collided with the blue defensive barrier and stopped.

    Bang! Bang!

    Numerous energy waves collided against the barrier without stop. Only after ten-odd seconds did theboratory regain its peace. Within, all the equipment was already destroyed. Only an intense odor remained within, pervading the air. That was the odor unique to Lord Urine God.

    "The liquid..."

    An rmed expression appeared on their faces. They had experience in analyzing all sorts of energy, yet this was the first time they had seen something this terrifying. This was an energy even a beyond A ss wouldn¡¯t possess. It was no wonder that this young prince had actually been capable ofpleting the summon of that devil expert in advance. Such powerful energy contained within the urine...

    "Continue the research!"

    "All right."

    They became spirited as they realized the prowess of the urine. They could feel that at present, they were studying something incredibly unusual. They believed that as long as they persisted, they would obtain a result. The future of humanity was now in their hands!

    The people of the Research Agency couldn¡¯t wait any longer. "Let us study theposition of the urine."

    The people of the Gic Union had been prepared for this long ago. "Let us study the energy."

    The several master producers of the Gene Production Association prepared to start their production as well. "Let us try producing some gene reagents."

    At this time, at a certain location within the Gic Union, Li Lei was looking at Chen Feng with astonishment. "I thought you would go in there and participate in the research as well."

    Chen Feng shook his head. "No way."

    Li Lei was curious. "Why is that?"

    Wasn¡¯t such a mysterious and formidable power something all researchers and producers were curious about? Just look at how crazily those researchers were fighting each other to join the research.

    "Because I am not interested in researching some urine," Chen Feng stated indifferently.

    Li Lei did not know whether he shouldugh or cry. Urine... As he thought about it, indeed, Chen Feng was right. However, it was not some regr urine being researched. Rather, it was the urine of the young devil prince, urine capable of summoning a superexpert, a liquid that contained an immense energy within.

    Chen Feng curled his lips. "Regardless of what you call it, ultimately, it is still urine. If you guys are nning to use it to produce gene reagents... hehe. Don¡¯t get me to do it. I will absolutely not touch it." Chen Feng maintained his calm as he looked at Li Lei. "Anyway, I am rather curious as well. If the research proves that this urine can be used to produce a gene reagent that can increase one¡¯s strength, would you be willing to consume that gene reagent?"

    Li Lei: "..."

    He pondered seriously and reached a rather "tasteful" conclusion.

    Li Lei sighed. "Damn it." He had never expected that a day woulde where he would reach such apromise for the sake of strength. s, he had no choice. That devil race expert was too powerful, so powerful that it caused his heart to flutter. If they hadn¡¯t been so lucky back then, they would have all died there. Hence, if such a gene reagent truly existed, he would probably use it even if it had been produced from urine.

    "Take care." Chen Feng patted his shoulder. Pausing slightly, Chen Feng patted his shoulder two more times.

    "???" Li Lei was feeling doubtful.

    "I am patting your shoulder in advance." Chen Feng sighed. "When you be an expert with a ¡¯scent¡¯ in the future, I will most probably not feeling like patting you anymore."

    Li Lei: "..."

    "Oh, right." Suddenly, Chen Feng asked, "Do you have a wife yet?"

    "Not yet," Li Lei answered.

    "Try to look for one as soon as possible." Chen Fengmented, "In the future, when you be a warrior with a ¡¯scent,¡¯ I think it will be much harder to get a wife. Oh, right, do you reckon this scent is something external or internal? Will your genes be affected as well? If they are, will your future children have the scent as well? The moment the child is born, the baby will reek of that scent."

    Li Lei¡¯s expression darkened.

    "Tsk, tsk. How magical. In the legends, the moment a certain being is birthed, all thend within a thousand miles will be barren. Do you reckon this is due to that intense odor? Wow, the mere thought of it... how exciting."

    The more Chen Feng imagined it, the more colorful his imagination became.

    Li Lei couldn¡¯t take it anymore and interrupted Chen Feng. "Chen Feng!"

    What in the world. After hearing all this from Chen Feng, now, he no longer had the courage to peruse the gene reagent anymore, not even if he was beaten to death. It wouldn¡¯t matter as long as it only affected him, but if it was going to affect the next generation as well...

    "Since you don¡¯t want to use it yourself, you are not allowing others to use it either?" Li Lei grumbled. He could naturally see clearly that Chen Feng had said all that purposefully.

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. "What nonsense. If you were to really end up with an intense scent around you, I¡¯m afraid I would have to sever all rtionship with you. In order to maintain our friendship, I have to fight for it."

    "You..."

    Li Lei did not know whether tough or cry. But then, after these words of Chen Feng¡¯s, he indeed have up on the idea.

    Shua!

    Suddenly, two fireworks erupted in the sky.

    Chen Feng looked at the fireworks. "Yet another person has departed."

    "Yeah, the moment the devil race appeared, the entire aviation industry began researching crazily. All those rich fellows invested a huge sum of money to push the development of the aviation industry. In a period of half a year, the growth of the aviation industry has surpassed the total growth of the past several decades. Right now, migrating to the outer space had be the first priority of these people," Li Lei stated indifferently. Those people werepletely different from people like him.

    Li Lei sneered. He held an intense disdain toward those people who only thought of escaping whenever a problem cropped up. "However, even outer space is not absolutely safe. If we can¡¯t eliminate both the devils and ancients, a day mighte where they start reaching for outer space as well. At that time, it will be toote for these people to start crying." Li Lei was firm. "Improving ourselves and eliminating those fellows is the only correct path."

    Chen Feng nodded. "That is indeed so."

    "I reckon the research on the young prince will take some time. The devil race¡¯s strength is still slowly increasing. As for us humans..." Li Lei sighed. Humans were still too weak. If what Chen Feng had said was true about humanity not even being able to use the theoretical unique gene reagent made of urine, what should humanity do, then? The devil race, the ancient race... both of them were extremely problematic for humanity.

    "Says who that we have no other options?" A screen popped out of Chen Feng¡¯s wristband. Chen Feng made the screen public and asked, "Are you interested in taking a look at the result of what I have been researching the past few days?"

    Li Lei raised his brow. "What is it?" For the past few days, Chen Feng had been unwilling to even approach that young prince. What could he have been researching?

    Shua!

    Li Lei took a look at the screen. Instantly, his pupils shrunk.

    "This is..."

 Chapter 549: Whereâ€™s the Time?

    Chapter 549: Where¡¯s the Time?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Li Lei took a look and was immediately rmed. Shroud! It was Shroud Art! Chen Feng was actually researching this thing!

    "Have you gone crazy?" This was Li Lei¡¯s first reaction. "Do you not know that researching this thing will reduce your life span?"

    This thing was truly too dreadful. Back then, the Gic Union had coveted this thing more than Chen Feng, yet upon witnessing with their own eyes Gou Li¡¯s group aging so quickly before them, they had no longer harbored any thoughts toward this Shroud Art. Yet now, Chen Feng actually dared to study it? Had he gone crazy?

    "Even if you are still young, you should not waste your youth like this!" Li Lei stated.

    Chen Fengughed bitterly. He was not an idiot. "It¡¯s not as grave as you think."

    "How is it not grave?" Li Lei stated furiously. "I was there as well. Anyone who uses this will start aging. If you truly insist on researching this thing... Let me think about it... How about letting that girlfriend of yours be the one to use this technique instead?"

    "Huh?" Chen Feng nked. How did this rte to Wang Yao?

    "After all, she is still too young right now. Perhaps after using the technique, she will mature nicely. At that time, the two of you will match each other more." Li Lei sighed endlessly.

    Chen Feng: "..." Stupid pervert!

    Li Lei curled his lips. "In short, you should not be the one to use this technique."

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes madly.

    "I naturally wouldn¡¯t toy around with my own life. Since Gou Li¡¯s group gave me the data regarding this technique, I will naturally not go around using it. At present, I am merely using this technique as the core in an attempt to create a brand new thing, a brand new Shroud Art," Chen Feng dered sternly.

    Li Lei¡¯s eyes shone. "Oh?" If that was true... Li Lei¡¯s heartbeat increased. "There¡¯s hope of sess?"

    "Of course." Chen Feng smiled in a profound manner. "I have already seeded in creating a new Shroud Art. Naturally, this Shroud Art will still require the user to pay a price to use it, but the price is energy rather than vitality."

    "It¡¯s good to use energy!" Li Lei became agitated. Anything that could be solved with energy could not be considered a true problem. "Come, let me take a look. What is the result of your research?"

    Li Lei became exceptionally excited. After all, he had personally witnessed the prowess of Shroud Art. If Chen Feng was truly able to seed in his research and allow this new Shroud Art to be used duringbat, the strength of humanity would increase greatly. With this, Chen Feng¡¯s contribution toward humanity would be immeasurable.

    After all, that Shroud Art was a forbidden technique capable of allowing a beyond A1 to contend against a beyond A9. Even if Chen Feng couldn¡¯tpletely recreate it, even if he was only able to recreate a version with only 10% its initial power...

    Li Lei became iparably excited at this thought. He started looking at Chen Feng¡¯s screen.

    "Hey? This seems somewhat different?" Li Lei felt like this Shroud Art created by Chen Feng seemed somewhat odd.

    "Of course it¡¯s different," Chen Feng stated confidently. "The original version of Shroud Art might have been powerful¡ªunequaled even¡ªbut it was a mere spatial shroud. After all, that is something created just to deal with Lu Hun. Now, this Shroud Art created by me is not just something capable of countering spatial abilities users; it is also usable against any gic warrior, any life-form!"

    Chen Feng was proud. For this new Shroud Art, he had exhausted no less than 1,000 luck value. This was the result of what he and Spirit had used several days and nights toplete. This was a truly powerful Shroud Art!

    Li Lei clenched his fists tightly. "Excellent. Fast, show it to me."

    "Mhm." Chen Feng stood up and prepared to demonstrate it.

    Shua!

    In theboratory, a robot appeared. This was a probing robot supplied by the Research Agency, a robot capable of detecting every energy in existence. Whatever ability one used on this robot, the robot would be able to clearly sense the effects of that ability. Even the undtions among the spatial particles were something this robot could detect. As such, this was a perfect choice to perform tests on abilities.

    "I need an energy supply," Chen Feng said. To demonstrate this brand new Shroud Art, the amount of energy he had in him as a beyond B9 might be insufficient. Without any hesitation, Li Lei called over several gic warriors specializing in energy recovery.

    "With them here, you can erupt with the amount of energy a beyond A ss has in a single burst. Let¡¯s start."

    Li Lei was filled with expectation.

    Hu¡ª

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. He and Spirit had indeed done a trial run in a simted environment. However, they had never used this Shroud Art for real in the physical world. As such, this was also their first time witnessing this technique in the real, since before this, they had not had enough energy to try this technique out in the physical world.

    Now that everything was ready, he could finally see clearly the true might of this improved Shroud Art he had created using 1,000 luck value.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng pointed midair.

    Hum¡ª

    A formidable power undted outward. Suddenly, the robot that was standing at a distance trembled.

    Shua!

    In theboratory, the data disyed on the surveince device started leaping crazily. A score was being given to the power of this ability. The initial score of 0 points instantly reached 1,000!

    Li Lei¡¯s eyes widened. "It exceeded a thousand points!" From his memories, those abilities capable of surpassing a thousand points were normally at the very least 5-star secret arts. This Shroud Art...

    Two thousand points.

    Three thousand points.

    Four thousand points.

    ...

    The score continued rising rapidly. A horrified expression had now appeared on Li Lei¡¯s face. He was aware of how terrifying this Shroud Art was. However, he had never expected that it would be so terrifying. Chen Feng had merely demonstrated this ability in a casual manner, yet it was already able to have such a terrifying effect.

    Soon, the score reached 8,000 points and stopped rising. Chen Feng checked the amount of energy he had left in his body. Even with several energy-recovery and energy-boosting specialists around him, the energy within his body had still been instantly emptied.

    Indeed, at the very least, the energy of a beyond A ss would be required for one to use this Shroud Art.

    Li Lei clenched his fists tightly. "Eight thousand points!" What did this score signify? Normally, only those 6-star secret arts, the strongest abilities of beyond A sses, could reach such a score. Even in the history of the Gic Union, only 10 abilities had ever reached this score. And now, this new Shroud Art created by Chen Feng had joined the ranks of those legendary abilities as well. This would be a true legendary forbidden technique!

    "Splendid!"

    Li Lei was agitated. However, when he looked at the robot, he frowned. Even with the high score, the robot did not seem to be affected in any way.

    Shua! Shua!

    The robot was still wandering around aimlessly.

    Mhm... The robot was fine? In short, this was a support ability? Li Lei tried reading the data.

    Attack: No changes.

    Defense: No changes.

    Speed, energy, recovery rate, healing rate, ability... Every single aspect measured showed no changes whatsoever.

    ??

    What was going on? Li Lei nked. If there were no changes, how had this scoree about, then? He had no choice but to ask Chen Feng, "What is the function of this ability you created?"

    "Function?" Chen Feng muttered. He nced at the several hundreds of recorded data points from the robot, and his gazended directly on one of the data points. A satisfied smile appeared on his face as he said, "This... is the function!"

    Pa!

    Chen Feng pointed at it. Li Lei nced over. Instantly, he frowned. Nothing unusual could be seen there.

    But...

    Shortly after, Li Lei discovered an abnormality. "Hold on. The recorded time..." His eyes widened abruptly. "Where is the missing one second?"

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Where had that one second gone? Li Lei¡¯s eyes widened. He thought that he had seen wrongly. He even thought that the device might have malfunctioned. However, when he studied it properly and found that there were no problems whatsoever with the device, it became clear to him.

    !!!

    His heart jolted furiously. "Could it be..."

    "That¡¯s right," Chen Feng stated proudly. "Bi Quzhi created a spatial shroud. This time, after some modification and improvement by me, time shroud was created. The ability of this shroud is to take one second of time from its target." Chen Feng paused slightly. "Regardless of the asion, regardless of time, regardless of the target, regardless of whether the target is a human¡ªor any kind of life-form¡ªor an item, one second will be lost. This is my version of the true Shroud Art!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s confidence surged. Numerous tests had been performed by him and Spirit. He was the only one who knew how terrifying this ability was. Even if the time deducted was only one mere second, which might seem rather weak...

    Li Lei¡¯s eyes widened. Time shroud? He stared at the data from the robot and nked. So it turned out this was the actual result of Chen Feng¡¯s research for the past few days? Time... had always been the most unfathomable of all abilities in existence. At present, the Gic Union paid close attention to all gic warriors with time-rted abilities. They received help in increasing their level to study the concept of time. However, the efforts of the Gic Union had not borne any fruit. After all these years, the most those time specialists could do was speed up or slow down time. This was the limit of what they could aplish.

    For example, when one attacked, the attack that was supposed to be fast and imposing was suddenly slowed down. In this situation, this might be the work of a time-rted ability. Or perhaps one could further increase the speed of time, and so on. Time was the most unfathomable of all abilities, yet it was also the ability that couldn¡¯t be researched at all. All humanity had been able to do all this while was regte it in some crude manner. Humanity had never been able to truly alter time itself.

    But now Chen Feng had achieved what humanity had failed all the while.

    With this mysterious Shroud Art, Chen Feng had truly caused that one second to disappear. Li Lei had no idea where the stolen one second had gone, though.

    "So... this is the power of the time shroud?" Li Lei eximed in admiration.

    "That¡¯s right," Chen Feng eximed in admiration. This was the strongest ability he had ever created. Even if Gou Li and the rest were the ones who hadpleted the first step and he had only further improved on the ability, that still did not stop him from feeling admiration for this ability.

    "It is indeed astonishing," said Li Lei. "If so... at present, I have one question."

    Chen Feng looked at Li Lei. "Huh?"

    Li Lei sighed. "What¡¯s the point of this ability?"

    Chen Feng nked. "Ah?"

    "What can we do with the reduction of one mere second? If you could increase time by one second instead, I would most certainly be convinced, but to reduce time by a second? What¡¯s the point? Moreover, you can only use it against a single person, right? What¡¯s the point even if you can take away one second of your target¡¯s time? Of course, if you could actually spam the ability and use it continuously, I guarantee you could spam it to the point your target started doubting life itself...However, looking at that terrifying energy cost, this is an ability you can only use once, right? During battle, when you use this ability, you can at most make your opponent older by one single second. What¡¯s the point of that? It still won¡¯t change anything," Li Lei berated endlessly. Was this a powerful ability? Yes, it was. Any ability capable of altering time itself was the apex of all abilities. However...not all powerful abilities were applicable in battles. For example, the Gic Union had some mysterious abilities capable of nourishing one¡¯s skin and improving one¡¯s beauty. What was the point of such an ability in a battle? At present, Chen Feng seemed to have created something simr as well.

    Li Lei sighed.

    "Oh." Chen Feng scratched his head. "It¡¯s not that weak, right?"

    Li Lei sneered. "How is that not weak? Come, try using it against me."

    "Fine." After fully recovering his energy, Chen Feng cast his time shroud on Li Lei.

    "Mhm..."

    Li Lei fixed his gaze at the time. Indeed, during that instant, he felt like time had mysteriously leaped one second forward.

    "I have no feeling whatsoever." Li Lei shrugged. "As for the disappearing second, honestly, if I wasn¡¯t looking at my watch, I wouldn¡¯t even know what had happened... This ability..." Li Lei had a worried expression. "Naturally, this ability is not totally useless. If a huge amount of beyond A sses were to cast this ability on a single person, perhaps, one or two seconds could be instantly taken... Mhm... Perhaps around 100 beyond A sses would be required for that. But then, if we had that many beyond A sses, we can instead use regr methods and kill the target instead. Besides that, the Gic Union has gathered statistics on time travel before as well," Li Lei stated with a solemn tone of voice.

    "Oh?" Chen Feng was astonished. There actually existed a record detailing time travel?

    "Of course." Without a change in expression, Li Lei continued, "After our investigation, we noted that at present, the only sessful example of time travel is in the morning before one goes to work. When one is awakened by the rm clock, one can try taking an extra one or two minutes of sleep. At that point, there is a high chance that one will mysteriously travel directly to two hours in the future. One has obviously slept for only two extra minutes, yet one was able to travel forward two hours. When that happens, that person will most definitely bete to work. Is this not a mystical phenomenon?"

    "..."

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. This bro here was actually joking around with him? What a damnable English-textbook main character! [1]

    "You feel like I¡¯m telling you something useless, right?" Li Lei curled his lips and stated helplessly, "This time shroud of yours is simrly useless as well."

    Chen Feng raised his brow. "That¡¯s not for sure."

    He recalled that during his series of tests with Spirit, countless different situations had been tested. Theoretically, this ability to take one second might seem useless. However, if it was used during a crucial moment...

    Chen Feng suddenly asked, "Do you have any powerful burst abilities that required the power to be gathered first?"

    Li Lei nodded. "Yes."

    Chen Feng pointed at the robot. "Use it against him."

    "Fine." Li Lei was also curious about what exactly Chen Feng was trying to prove.

    Shua!

    Radiance started converging in his hand. A boundless and terrifying power started gathering around him. An ability that required even a powerful beyond A8 like him to condense energy before using was most definitely an extremely powerful killing move. After ten whole seconds, he finished his condensation.

    Go!

    He pointed, aiming the attack straight at the robot. It was certain that with his present attack damage, this terrifying ability heunched would be sufficient to st this robot into nothingness. In order to avoid receiving a scolding from the Research Agency for wasting resources, he had even intentionally aimed sideways so that his attack would miss. Right at this instant, Chen Feng made a move as well.

    Chen Feng pointed midair. "Time shroud!" Once again, the same ability was used on Li Lei.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint wave of light undted out. And then... nothing happened. As usual, nothing had happened after the usage of this ability. The activation of this time shroud seemed as nd as ever. However, this time, Li Lei¡¯s eyes opened wide.

    Li Lei was dumbstruck. "Where¡¯s my attack?"

    Chen Feng beamed. "It has been released by you."

    Li Lei was somewhat dumbstruck. "Where has the attack gone, then?"

    Chen Feng maintained the wide smile on his face. "I have no idea. After all, that one second has vanished..."

    Shua!

    Instantly, Li Lei started sweating. Only now, finally, did he gaze at Chen Feng with an unbelieving gaze, staring at that ordinary and mediocre-looking hand of Chen Feng¡¯s. Time shroud... could actually be used this way? Nobody knew where that one second had gone. Nobody knew what happened to that one missing second. Just like that, that one second was gone from existence. This...was the time shroud!

    "Divine ability. This is a true divine ability." Li Lei¡¯s gaze was burning. He grabbed both Chen Feng¡¯s hands firmly and didn¡¯t let go no matter what. "Chen Feng! You must teach me this ability." Only now had he realized how terrifying this time shroud was. If used in a proper manner, hisbat power would increase at least onefold.

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "I will." Earlier, this guy had still been full of disdain toward this time shroud, yet now he was so desperate for it that he almost prostrated himself to learn it. This was still something Chen Feng had just recently created. Despite the astonishing effect of this ability, the limitations were rather great as well. A single usage would already exhaust the entirety of a beyond A ss¡¯s energy. With this, this ability would most probably be unusable for normal battles.

    Li Lei thought about it. "With my strength, after using this ability once, I should still have some energy remaining."

    Chen Feng nodded. "Mhm."

    "However, the exhaustion is still too high." Li Lei pondered. "It can only be used as a trump card for now. Naturally, if you can improve and optimize it further and make it something usable casually, it would be even better."

    Chen Feng shrugged. "Strength-wise, I think it¡¯s sufficient." It was impossible to further improve this. After using 1,000 luck value on it, this version of time shroud was already nearly perfect. If so, the only thing he could do was optimize it. Chen Feng was not sure if this thing could actually be optimized in the first ce. He recalled how in his previous life, a certain storage system had in fact lost its poprity after optimization. He definitely did not want that to happen to him.

    "Time shroud is only one of the numerous shrouds avable. Apart from this, there are also me shrouds, lightning shrouds, and so on. Naturally, all these will require time and a huge amount of energy spent to create. In the future, perhaps I will truly be able to create even more versions," Chen Feng stated slowly.

    This shroud was a legend-like existence. This thing that had been inherited by Gou Li¡¯s group was supposed to be something an ordinary person couldn¡¯t ever hope to use, let alone improve. If one wanted to improve it, first of all, one needed to have an absolute understanding of the core version of this ability: the spatial shroud. But then, by the time one finally gained sufficient understanding of the spatial shroud, enough time might have passed that this shroud would no longer still be useful for humanity. However, Chen Feng was different. He had not needed to gain absolute understanding of the initial version of the shroud. The only thing he had required to improve it was his luck value. As such, this shroud was simply perfect for him.

    The core of this shroud was what he had inherited from Gou Li¡¯s group. Using that as the core, he had created a brand-new improved ability. This was a legendary power that belonged to Chen Feng alone.

    "Shroud..."

    Li Lei was simrly filled with admiration. He was the only one who knew how strong the side effects of using this ability were.

    He was somewhat anxious. "Are you truly fine?"

    Chen Feng shook his head. "I¡¯m fine."

    "That¡¯s good, then." Li Lei frowned. "Regardless of how powerful this thing is, it is still not as important as you yourself. Remember to monitor yourself every day. I will get a few beyond A sses to test your life span."

    Chen Feng: "...Is there a need for this?"

    "This is a need," Li Lei said with a solemn expression. Suddenly, Li Lei stated with a lowered voice, "Do you think you are the only one studying this thing?"

    Chen Feng raised his brow. "Mhm?" He recalled that back then, he was the only one who had obtained theplete version of Gou Li¡¯s inheritance. Moreover, he had only obtained it after cross-checking it with Spirit¡¯s help.

    "Hehe, this is the Gic Era after all." Li lei sneered. "There were several beyond A sses present back then. Do you think that you were able to hide from those people the fact that you obtained the inheritance? They were all able to see it clearly. Moreover, internally, the Gic Union already has a copy of the improved data of this ability. Those guys already started their research. Naturally, they all wished to be the one to control this powerful ability. And next..." Li Lei¡¯s expression became weird. "There was no next."

    Chen Feng nked. "Huh?"

    "Dead." Li Lei sighed. "Those guys that personally researched Shroud Art, including one beyond A ss, four beyond B sses, and a bunch of beyond C sses, all of them died. By the time we opened the door of their room, we noted that they had all died of old age. This happened in a single night."

    Even now, the memory of that still gave Li Lei some lingering fears. That was truly an unforgettable scene.

    Chen Feng: "..." The people of this era are truly not afraid of death. Chen Feng shook his head. "Don¡¯t worry. I didn¡¯t even touch the power of this thing. What I did was deduce and analyze it before attempting to directly improve how it works, working purely on theory rather than directly attempting to use it."

    Only after hearing this did Li Lei heave a sigh of relief. "That¡¯s good, then."

    Next, the two of them started testing and studying this time shroud created by Chen Feng. An improved set of data was submitted officially. However, when trying to think of a name for this shroud, both of them stopped.

    "Shall we call it Time Shroud?" Li Lei probed.

    "Oh." Chen Feng hesitated as well. "Why not change the name?"

    Li Lei pped his thigh. "Yes, let¡¯s change it. I keep feeling that the name ¡¯shroud¡¯ feels somewhat freakish, as if it touches upon some sort of taboo. Look at those fellows had died so randomly..."

    "Let me think about it." Chen Feng sank into contemtion.

    Shroud Art...

    This did not seem like a fitting name. More importantly, in the future, he might be able to create even more versions. As such, numerous other new abilities would appear. Could it be that they would have to give those names such as me Shroud, Lightning Shroud, and so on? What if the created shroud had no special properties? What should it be named? What about the naming of two different versions of time shroud? Time Shroud 1 and Time Shroud 2? Chen Feng¡¯s head ached at the thought of this.

    "Mhm..." He sank into a long contemtion. "How about ¡¯spirit arts¡¯?"

    Spirit arts, a unique system of abilities that were different from gic abilities. In essence, this was made up of the core concepts of the Shroud Art and was something created after improvements and modifications by Chen Feng.

    "Apart from the initial ability used by Gou Li¡¯s group that shall maintain the name Shroud Art, all the newly created abilities shall be called spirit arts!" Chen Feng decided firmly.

    "All right." Li Lei approved of it. He knew that from today onward, the name "spirit arts" would be etched into the annals of history. In the future, for the gic warriors of humanity, apart from possessing gic abilities, they would have to possess spirit arts as well. Only those who had mastered both systems could be the strongest of all.

    "How about this time spirit art, then?" Li Lei coveted this ability.

    Chen Feng waved his hand. "Take it." After all, this ability wasn¡¯t of much use to him. However, the price of obtaining this thing...

    Li Lei chortled happily. "Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t take it for free."

    The next day, on the ability exchange page of the Gic Union, which hadn¡¯t changed for several years, a brand-new ability suddenly appeared. This was an ability that was listed together with the likes of those 6-star secret arts.

    ----

    Name: Time Quicksand.

    ssification: Spirit art.

    Function: Takes one second.

    Exhaustion: All energy a standard beyond A1 would have.

    Conversion Rate: ...

    Right Holder: Chen Feng.

    ----

    Bang!

    This sent the entire Gic Union into an uproar. Spirit arts? What were those? And then there was the function of this thing...

    The list of beyond A abilities hadn¡¯t been updated in a very long time. Moreover, those beyond A sses of the old generation had already purchased all the listed abilities, even the ones they didn¡¯t require. And now...

    "Buy, buy, buy!"

    "Since I bought the final ability in the list three years ago, I haven¡¯t seen any new abilities."

    "I have remained stagnant for four years already."

    Naturally, not everyone viewed this new ability positively.

    "This guy called Chen Feng stirs up trouble every single day."

    "What bullshit ability is this to deserve an entirely different ssification?"

    "Yeah."

    "One second... What¡¯s the point? My speed-reduction ability is capable of reducing speed by at least 90% for 10 seconds. Perhaps I should create a brand new ssification for my ability as well?"

    "True."

    "This is too expensive. Even if we were to ignore the function of this ability, the price is truly..."

    "What a trash ability. Spatial freeze abilities are sufficient to render this ability useless."

    Gic Union.

    The sale of Time Quicksand was just nice for Chen Feng. Such abilities could only be traded internally within the Gic Union for points. If it was able to help gather enough points for him to exchange for resources that would help him reach beyond A ss, that would be even better. After all, here in the Gic Union, the points were able to be used for anything one wished.

    Hire beyond A sses? Purchase materials? So long as one had sufficient points, one could obtain whatever one wished. Back then, thanks to the amount of points he¡¯d had, after joining the Gic Union, he had been ssified as an official member. As such, he was eligible to enjoy all the Gic Union had to offer. However...

    Shua!

    Chen Feng took a look at the rows upon rows of abilities in front of him. At present, he was already a peak beyond B9. If he wanted to enter beyond A ss, he had to first break through his present realm before fusing with a brand-new ability. Producing the gene reagents was something he couldplete himself, but for the process of breakthrough...

    ----

    Rapid-Growth Training Camp

    Right Holder: Gic Union.

    Grade: Peak beyond B ss.

    Difficulty: 5 stars.

    Sess Rate: 20%.

    Number of Participants: One per month.

    ----

    This was a training camp, something Chen Feng had once encountered at the Mysterious Organization. The unique environments of these training camps increased the odds of one¡¯s breakthrough. However, the quota for participating in these training camps was extremely valuable. This was something a regr person had no hope of participating in.

    "Mhm..."

    Chen Feng looked at the list of applicants for this training camp. So far, there were over 100 people waiting, with some having waited for an entire year already. The only thing these people could do was increase their contribution points unendingly in hope of obtaining a spot.

    If so, how long would he need to wait? Chen Feng tried to check out other training camps. There were a huge number of simr training camps that could help beyond B sses enter beyond A ss. Since Chen Feng wasn¡¯t someone who was afraid of sess rates, he believed that it wouldn¡¯t be too difficult for him to find one for him to join. Unfortunately, his search returned nothing. He could not find even a single one to join. Even for the camp with the shortest waiting list, there were still 126 names on the list.

    Even so, the reason for this waiting list being the shortest was due to the high difficulty of this camp, and only those with excessively high contribution points were on the list here. Others gave up on trying to enter the waiting list after failing. Even the order of the waiting list was determined by one¡¯s contribution points. Only those with the most contribution points could be listed at the top of the list.

    It was possible that one might be ted to enter next month but suddenly someone with more contribution points would appear and the first person would have to once again wait, whereas the one with more contribution points would get to enter first. As such, to maintain one¡¯s position on the waiting list, one had no choice but to ept missions without stop, to earn contribution points without stop. Only by doing this could one obtain a chance to enter the camp.

    This was especially true after the sale of the beyond X gene reagent. A huge amount of peak beyond B sses had appeared, causing the limited quota for the training camps to be unable to meet the demand.

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "Have I inevitably screwed myself by releasing the beyond X gene reagent?" All the training camps at the Gene Production Association were only helpful for the increase of one¡¯s production level. As such, he had no choice but to look for strength-increasing training camps here at the Gic Union. s, his special identity within the Gene Production Association did not seem helpful here at the Gic Union.

    With several dozen training camps, it shouldn¡¯t be too hard for him to find one suitable for him, right? Chen Feng tried asking around. Unfortunately, there were no results. At present, even the one with the highest contribution points in the list had waited for at least half a year. Every person on the waiting list was either part of a major family, the heir of some peak beyond-A-ss warrior, or of simr status.

    Now, with the threat of the ancient race and devil race looming, nobody would be willing to concede their position in the waiting list. It was impossible for Chen Feng to cut in line. Furthermore, even if one person was willing to concede the spot to Chen Feng, would the others be willing? The only way Chen Feng could enter first was if the several hundred people on the waiting list all conceded their spots to him. After all, his contribution points at the Gic Union were too low. As such, the only way he could enter first was to get special treatment from the Gic Union. In fact, with Chen Feng¡¯s present identity, he was indeed qualified to obtain this special treatment from the Gic Union.

    However, at present, both the ancient race and devil race were paying close attention to him and waiting for a chance to kill him a hundred times. As for the Gic Union, they were all hoping that Chen Feng could obediently serve as a mascot for them among humanity. If possible, they hoped that Chen Feng would forever stay within the Gic Union under their protection and never leave. As such, it was rather unlikely for them to grant him an exception to enter the training camp, resulting in him leaving the protection of the headquarters.

    "What bullshit is this?"

    Chen Feng did not know whether tough or cry.

    Even if the present Gic Union seemed rather reliable in terms of providing protection, he had no intention of forever staying under their protection and leeching off them. In this era, it was better for one to grasp strength in one¡¯s own hands.

    "Seems like I can only think of something myself." Chen Feng sighed. "Contribution points..."

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes as he studied the description of the contribution points. This system of contribution points was rather simple. This was a system where the importance of one¡¯s mission was the determining factor, an entirely different system from the regr points and the regr rewards for missions.

    This system of contribution points was like a flight of steps. The higher it was, the harder it would be. One mission might have ample rewards, yet only a tiny amount of contribution points would be given. As such, even when selecting missions, one had to be prudent. Naturally, Chen Feng would not be so bored that he started wasting time epting missions to earn contribution points. If he were to do this, how long would it take to obtain sufficient contribution points? At the same time he was obtaining contribution points, others would be doing the same as well. As such, epting missions to obtain contribution points was rather unreliable.

    "If so..." Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. Suddenly, his gazended on Time Quicksand. This was something capable of earning him a huge amount of points. Naturally, they were regr points rather than contribution points. However, ording to a certain provision in thews of the Gic Union...

    Suddenly, Chen Fengughed. "Hehehe."

    You guys are the ones who forced me to do this.

    At present, Time Quicksand had only created a small uproar. Even if this was the first new unique ability added to the list after so many years, this ability seemed too ordinary and had failed to garner a huge amount of attention. To buy or not to buy? This was a question a lot of people were asking. A huge majority of the beyond A sses were assuming a "wait and see" attitude.

    Suddenly, a rating appeared on the trade interface of Time Quicksand. The Gic Union¡¯s regr points were extremely valuable; each point was something the gic warriors fought with their blood and life to earn. As such, in order to prevent wasting points on unsuitable abilities, there would be a short description, introduction, and rating for each listed ability.

    The total points were 10. Those rated 1 point were ssified as trash abilities, while those rated 10 points were ssified as abilities of great value. Different ratings would signify different worths for the listed abilities. After all, this was not somepetition among merchants. As such, fake ratings were something that had never appeared here. This resulted in these ratings being something of utmost importance here on this list.

    "What¡¯s the rating?"

    "Let me see... Holy shit, 10 points?"

    Nobody could believe it.

    Nobody had expected that the first beyond A ss that had purchased Time Quicksand would actually leave a rating of 10 points there. What did this signify? One ought to know that in this rating system of theirs, a score of 10 was the equivalent of a perfect score. Even the 6-star secret art that was publicly acknowledged as the strongest ability was only rated at eight points. The reason for that rating was the excessive price.

    This Time Quicksand was obviously priced simrly as those beyond A ss abilities, yet it was still rated at 10 points? Could this ability be even stronger than that 6-star secret art? Everyone¡¯s expression became solemn as they pondered this. If that was indeed the case...

    Instinctively, their gazended on the content of the rating, and instantly, their expression nked.

    "Rated by anonymous warrior *****: This is the savior of all middle-aged men. With my strength as a beyond A9, I am able to easily use this ability nine times in a row, perfectly avoiding that awkward premature [censored]. The act of [censored] that I long gave up on is once again possible. My [censored] power has actually increased by five times! Like! "

    Shua!

    The people of the Gic Unionpsed into silence when they saw this. This was a review filled with mosaics. However, even with that, they were able to clearly guess exactly what this person was trying to say. This was especially true for the sentence "savior of all middle-aged man," which clearly hinted at what this was about.

    Mhm...

    Time Quicksand could be used like this? Hold on, nine times, after an increase of five times...could it be that this old man had only been able tost two seconds when doing the deed previously? They wiped their sweat. This review was truly...

    But then, if Time Quicksand could truly be used in such a manner...

    Some of them were full of doubt. "That¡¯s not possible, right?"

    "After all, that old man is still a beyond A ss. How is it possible that..." one stated in a low voice.

    Someone else sighed. "Maybe the wife is also a beyond A ss?"

    "That might be true."

    At this, the others gained understanding. With how interesting this was, it soon spread throughout the entire Gic Union, to the point that a lot of them had odd expressions whenever they look at a beyond A ss. And because of this, the Time Quicksand became a trending topic. Immediately after, people started discussing the actual function of this ability in battles, in injury reduction, in increased ability duration, and so on. All of these were things that still required further testing. With this, Time Quicksand became truly, incredibly popr.

    You have a super-explosive ability? Sorry, with Time Quicksand applied at the appropriate moment, the explosiveness will vanish. You have an unrivaled defense? Sorry, with Time Quicksand, the active duration of the defense will disappear. After all, when activating an ability that required casting, if a single second were to go missing, the entire process would need to be restarted.

    The more they researched, the more they noticed how terrifying this ability was. This new ability created by Chen Feng became the most popr and powerful ability. As long as one put it to use in an appropriate manner, this ability could counter any ability. This was a super-powerful interruption ability. This was what Time Quicksand was. It was not a powerful attack. Rather, it was the strongest support ability.

    Those people who had still been wondering whether they should buy it suddenly noticed that this ability was something everyone had to have. Oh, one refused to buy it? Well, one¡¯s opponent would buy it. And then... well, what would happen next was something one should be able to guess. At the very least, Time Quicksand would render one major ability useless. More importantly, one could never guess when exactly would Time Quicksand be used, when exactly one¡¯s ability would be suddenly disabled, giving one¡¯s opponent the initiative in the battle.

    In a battle where both parties were evenly matched, the one without this ability would be the disadvantaged party. With great sadness, after all the beyond A sses purchased this ability, they noted that the only use of this newly bought ability was to counteract the opponent¡¯s Time Quicksand, since both parties simrly had the same ability.

    Mhm... when one activated it, the other would activate it as well. As such, everyone would take one second from the other¡¯s side. Apart from this, this ability did not seem to have any other use.

    Of course, when facing the devil race or ancient race, Time Quicksand would still prove extremely helpful, something equivalent to an additional life. Ultimately, it was decided that this was an ability not to be used among fellow humans.

    "I keep feeling like something seems off."

    "Sigh, mybat power is still ranked 88."

    "Same here. Even though I have bought Time Quicksand, nearly all the beyond A sses have purchased it as well. As such, ultimately, there are no changes in the overallbat power among us fellow humans."

    "..."

    "What a scam!"

    "I knew it! This Chen Feng will nevere out with something good."

    Everyone felt too powerless to even begin berating this. Due to this, the rating of this Time Quicksand dropped from the initial 10 points to three points. Moreover, people were leaving the word "scam" in the reviews of this ability. s, they noticed with great grief that even with that low rating of three, they still had no choice but to buy it. It reached a point where every newly advanced beyond A ss had to purchaseTime Quicksand as their first beyond-A-ss ability.

    At a certain location within Gic Union, Li Lei was watching on helplessly as the sales of Time Quicksand increased. God-freaking-dammit . At first he had believed that he would be able to bully everyone after obtaining this Time Quicksand, but now this ability had be a must-have for all beyond A sses. Chen Feng, what a scammer!

    "This is the reason you asked me to leave that ¡¯savior of all middle-aged men¡¯ment anonymously?" Li Lei sighed at this realization. That¡¯s right, he was precisely the anonymous reviewer.

    Chen Feng smiled yfully. "Of course." Sex was the easiest marketing method. In his previous world, regardless of whether it was via video, CD,puter, or even virtual reality, sex was something that had always sold extremely well. The same applied when it came to the dissemination of news. By spreading the news about his Time Quicksand as gossip, it was able to spread through the market at a rapid speed.

    Li Lei was speechless. "Where¡¯s your integrity?"

    Chen Feng merelyughed it off. "Hehe."

    Li Lei raised his brow. "Anyway, are the points you have earned this time sufficient for you to enter beyond A ss?"

    Since Chen Feng was already at peak beyond B ss, his next step of advancement was to enter beyond A ss. The points he had earned would be helpful in that. Regardless of abilities or materials, all of them could be purchased using points.

    "Indeed, the points are already enough. But I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s still not sufficient to enter a training camp," Chen Feng stated faintly.

    "There¡¯s no helping that." Li Lei shrugged. "When ites to the transformation to beyond A ss from beyond B ss, nobody will concede. Among those on the waiting lists, arge majority of them are the children of the various big shots of the Gic Union."

    "I am aware of that..." Chen Feng smiled calmly. "Therefore, I have no choice but to think of something myself."

    "With your talent and the points you have, if you use a regr method to break through, at most, you will be able to break through in a year," stated Li Lei.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "One year is way too long." He had been stuck in beyond B ss for far too long. The trip to the devil race territory back then had also increased his thirst for power. No matter what, he had to break through into beyond A ss this time.

    "If so, you can only wait for it. If you need help, I can help you farm some contribution points," Li Lei stated with a forced smile. This was the only way he could help.

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "There¡¯s no need for that. I already have an idea for what to do about this."

    At the same time, the Gic Union was holding a meeting. The higher-ups of the Gic Union were discussing something extremely important.

    The deputy president was somewhat anxious. "Chen Feng¡¯s points are so high it¡¯s borderline scary now."

    Generally, it was extremely rare for a single person to create such beyond-A-ss ability. Normally, this would be a group project. After all the earned points were divided, what a single individual stood to earn wasn¡¯t much. As for the asional cases where a single individual had seeded in creating a new ability, those had normally been some minor abilities that weren¡¯t particrly expensive.

    But now, this Chen Feng had created Time Quicksand, a beyond-A-ss ability. The price of this ability was extremely high, and in this circumstance where all beyond A sses had no choice but to purchase this ability so they didn¡¯t fall behind, Chen Feng¡¯s points had instantly reached a scary level.

    "What¡¯s there to worry about that?" One of them felt doubtful. "At present, he is merely a beyond B ss. I reckon he will most probably use all these points just to breakthrough into beyond A ss. I remember how thest time someone earned such a huge amount of points, that person did the same. With Chen Feng¡¯s talent and the resources he could purchase with these points, he will be able to enter beyond A ss in a year."

    This was the steadiest method of breaking through. Despite the somewhat lengthy process, it was still much safer than joining a training camp.

    "If that were the case, it would be excellent." The deputy president smiled bitterly. "s, your understanding of Chen Feng is too low."

    "What about him?" That person felt doubtful. Even if Chen Feng was a person with a respected identity, that was still a Gene Production Association identity. In the Gic Union, with Chen Feng¡¯s strength, he wasn¡¯t that high up thedder.

    "Previously, Chen Feng was also merely a regr producer in the Gene Producer Association." The deputy president slowly narrated, "This remained until one day when he created a research paper. Next, he started selling it. Next, he became part of the management of the Gene Production Association."

    Shua!

    Instantly, everyone in the meetingpsed into silence. Only now did they realize what exactly this deputy president was worried about. That was because ording to a certain provision in thews of the Gic Union, if one possessed a certain amount of points, one could start purchasing authority in the Gic Union. Granted, the amount of points required was excessivelyrge. However...

    "That¡¯s not possible."

    Everyone shook their heads. Even if such a provision indeed existed, in their history, only a single person had ever managed to do it.

    That was Luo Yuan, the founder of Stormtech Co. Ltd., the creator of the wristbands all of humanity used, the senior who had also created numerous mystical technologies. That was the first person who had umted sufficient points to start purchasing authority within the Gic Union.

    However, even with the amount of points he had gathered, the scope of authority he had managed to purchase was only 0.1%. In order to truly have a say in the Gic Union, one would need to have an authority of at least 10%.

    "You are thinking too much," one of them stated, as if this was utterly ridiculous. "What joke is this? This is the Gic Union. Have you spared a thought for how many points would be required to purchase authority here in the Gic Union? Even Luo Yuan only managed to purchase 0.1%, an amount only sufficient to have his name listed, before he gave up. If one truly wishes to gain enough authority through this method to control the Gic Union... That is impossible."

    "Don¡¯t worry." Everyone startedforting the deputy president. "Regardless of how powerful Time Quicksand is, one must not forget one point: the amount of beyond A sses among humanity is still rather limited."

    "True." At this, the deputy presidentpsed into contemtion. Even if all beyond-A-ss humans were to purchase Time Quicksand, the umted points would still be insufficient to purchase the authority required for one to actually assume any form of control over the Gic Union. However, why did he still have this ufortable feeling? "Perhaps I have truly been overthinking things," the deputy president muttered.

 Chapter 554: Energy Shroud

    Chapter 554: Energy Shroud

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Gic Union.

    Within a certainboratory, the Chen Feng that was constantly on the deputy president¡¯s mind was contemting the future of spirit arts. Should he research all by it himself? That wasn¡¯t possible. Time Quicksand alone had exhausted 1,000 luck value. If he insisted on proceeding with the research himself, he could force himself to create two additional abilities before exhausting all his luck value, but that would be it¡ªgame over. This was simply behaving like a wastrel. Although these spirit arts appeared extremely powerful, it was still not eptable to waste so much luck value.

    Even if he was able to create three different spirit arts, Chen Feng did not feel like he would be able to earn sufficient points. Apart from wasting his luck value, it was pointless. As such, what should the second spirit arts be, then? me? Lighting? Stone? Mhm...

    Chen Feng pondered for a long time yet noted that all these ideas were unreliable. A pure spirit art or something simr to Time Quicksand would be pointless to create. If so, should he create something everyone could utilize, then? Something even an E ss could use? The advantage of creating such a spirit art was the fact that it would have a huge target audience. There were only a hundred-something beyond A sses in existence currently. As for a spirit art that everyone could use, it might result in several hundred million people buying the ability from him.

    If the created ability was powerful enough...

    Chen Feng thought of it yet ultimately shook his head. That was not feasible. Even if such an ability could achieve high sales volume, the earned points from it would still be too low. Ultimately, it wouldn¡¯t be any better than Time Quicksand.

    "Let¡¯s try and see if I can produce a basic version of anything."

    Chen Feng started trying.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. With his Luck Aura activated, Chen Feng started his research. Using his Luck Aura purely to select a proper direction to follow without a need to think too deeply about it, Chen Feng only needed to focus on improving on what was selected.

    After a long time, a brand-new improved ability appeared. Energy Shroud: Absorbs 1% of the opponent¡¯s energy.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Shua!

    What was the point of this thing? In short, this new spirit art extracted another¡¯s energy instead of time? The version used by Gou Li¡¯s group was a spatial shroud that extracted space itself. As for Chen Feng¡¯s Time Quicksand, it was a time shroud and extracted time. And now, there was this energy shroud. What other abilities could result from this?

    "Absorbing the opponent¡¯s energy during battle?"

    Chen Feng pondered. Star-Sucking Skill?[1] 1 Not reliable.

    This damnable ability could only absorb 1% per attempt. One would need at least 100 attempts to absorb all the energy of one¡¯s opponent. So long as the opponent wasn¡¯t aplete idiot, after two attempts, the opponent would no longer fall for it.

    "What to do?"

    Chen Feng sank into contemtion. Indeed, he had created the basic version of a new ability. But the biggest questions were how to further improve it and what to do with it. This was especially true since this ability was one that seemed rather useless and would only work on idiots.

    Mhm...

    Chen Feng pondered deeply for an entire day and finally managed to think of something. If so...

    "Spirit, prepare," Cheng Feng stated faintly.

    "Do you really want to do that?" Spirit¡¯s gentle voice was filled with a trace of oddness as well. This idea Chen Feng had thought of was truly...

    "Mhm," Chen Feng answered resolutely. "This is my only option."

    At the same time, at the headquarters.

    "Li Lei." The deputy president called Li Lei over. "Apart from Time Quicksand, is Chen Feng researching any other spirit arts?"

    "Nope." Li Lei shook his head. "At that time, Chen Feng told me that researching Time Quicksand alone had already cost him greatly. At most, he will be able to create one or two more abilities, nothing more."

    "That¡¯s good, then." Finally, the deputy preside heaved a sigh of relief. If so, one great worry could be erased from his heart. However, the deputy president didn¡¯t get to remain in his joyful mood for long, as just one weekter, a piece of news that shook the entire world appeared: Chen Feng had created the second spirit art.

    "If it¡¯s the second version, so be it. What¡¯s so special about it?"

    "Yeah."

    The deputy president was still calm and collected. "Even if he creates one per week, it won¡¯t change anything."

    "No, that¡¯s not the case." The employee that was reporting to him wiped his sweat. "This spirit art is rather special. It can¡¯t even be ssified as proper spirit art."

    "What are you even talking about?" The deputy president shook his head. Seeing how the employee couldn¡¯t exin clearly even after a long while, he decided to take a look himself. However, after a mere nce at this new spirit art, he nked.

    This... is this still a spirit art?

    Rather thanbeling it a different spirit art, this thing might as well bebeled as merchandise. Along with the ability itself, a long user manual was attached.

    ----

    Name: Master Spirit Trainer

    ssification: Spirit art.

    Function: By using an appropriate training method, one can increase one¡¯s spiritual energy permanently.

    Exhaustion: Same amount of energy exhaustion used during regr spirit training methods.

    Conversion Rate: Free.

    Right Holder: Chen Feng.

    ----

    "What in the world is this? A permanent increase of spiritual energy through an appropriate training method? This is unlikely, right?"

    "How is it unlikely? Even the lowest-level spirit gene reagent is capable of granting such an effect as well. The problem here is the price he set."

    "Price..."

    Shua!

    All their gazesnded on the price, and they were greatly rmed. Only now did they realize that this new spirit art was actually free! That¡¯s right, free. A powerful new ability was actually being given out for free? This indeed shocked everyone. Indeed, nowadays, quite a number of kind and grand experts existed. However, if they were to give things out for free, they would most probably starve to death. Were they supposed to be a kind and grand beggar instead? This Chen Feng fellow...

    "Let¡¯s first see what exactly this thing is."

    "True. This might be an iplete product. Chen Feng might have merely released it as an introduction for the public."

    "That¡¯s possible."

    They all agreed on such a possibility. Since this was a free ability, everyone started purchasing it.

    Shua!

    Purchasepleted. Numerous mystical seals surged out. Everyone followed the cirction route as listed in these seals and circted their energy. Soon, light swirled around their bodies, and ultimately, a crude illusion made of blue light appeared.

    "This seems to be some sort of illusion?"

    "Mhm. Theposition of this illusion isn¡¯t tooplicated. It only consists of lines. It¡¯s something anyone willing to learn canplete. This is the simplest of all abilities."

    They all started reviewing this new ability while trying it out. As for the contents of this illusion...

    Before their eyes, numerous blue balls of light hovered. A huge amount of them were sealed by a gray seal, with only the first ball of light shining brightly. This was the ball representing the so-called Master Spirit Trainer.

    "It¡¯s this thing here?"

    They nodded subconsciously.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. Instantly, their surroundings changed into that of a massive arena.

    "Greetings. Wee to the start of Master Spirit Trainer. By defeating the opponent in front of you, your spiritual energy will increase," an ice-cold voice prompted.

    "So simple?"

    They tried fighting the opponent before them.

    They noted that the opponent they faced was someone whose strength was simr to their own. After several exchanges and gaining a clearer understanding of the abilities of their opponents, they were able to defeat their respective opponents.

    "Congrattions. Your spiritual energy has been increased."

    Shua!

    A clear breeze surged out. At that instant, all of their eyes widened as they realized that their spiritual energy had indeed been increased.

    "Holy shit!"

    "It has actually increased for real."

    "Even if the increase is rather low, it is truly a permanent increase."

    They were all stupefied. They had never seen such a mystical ability. They had indeed seen a lot of abilities capable of granting an increase in spiritual energy, yet none of those had increased their energy with such a method or so directly. What was the price for this? Nothing. Was anything exhausted in exchange for this? No. It seemed like one only needed to activate this spirit art and one would definitely have their spiritual energy increased?

    "Perhaps this is simr to those minor abilities that only offer a one-off increase?"

    Just as this thought surfaced...

    Shua!

    Once again, the voice prompted.

    "Congrattions onpleting the challenge. You have obtained 1,000 points of spiritual energy."

    Ding.

    "Due to your current ess level being F ss, the maximum limit of your spiritual energy increase per attempt is one point. As such, you have obtained one point of spiritual energy. (999 points of spiritual energy has overflowed.)"

    "F-ss Master Spirit Trainer has been fully unlocked. One point of spiritual energy increase will be obtained for every opponent you defeat. After reaching the maximum capacity of F ss, your ess level will be promoted to E ss. After promotion, the limit per attempt will be upgraded ordingly as well."

    Shua!

    A shiny item appeared. A closer look revealed that this was actually blue energy paper with the following words written on it: F ss, 5/100.

    Bang!

    Everyone¡¯s eyes widened. Something like this was possible? In short, the only reason for the small increase was due to the F-ss ess level, resulting in the user obtaining an F-ss increase. After all, for an actual F-ss warrior, if their spiritual energy were suddenly increased excessively, they might explode. For B sses and C sses like them, this was naturally a rather small amount. However, the increase was actually upgradable.

    "We only need toplete 20 challenges and we will be able to advance to the E-ss ess level."

    "Correct."

    "The limit for those with an E-ss ess level will be much greater. At that time, we can continue progressing until our ess level reaches D ss, C ss, B ss, and so on. At that time, our spiritual energy will greatly increase after each victory."

    "What a powerful ability!"

    "If we are able to increase our ess level to that of our actual ss..."

    "If we can obtain all the overflowing spiritual energy..."

    At the thought of this, they all became so agitated they started shuddering. Perhaps they only needed several dozen challenges to increase their ess level to their actual ss? This spirit art was truly incredibly powerful!

    "What if we fail a challenge?" someone asked, curious.

    Chapter 555: Free Things Are in Fact the Most Expensive of All

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    And thus, someone tried failing a challenge as a test. Next...

    "You have failed your challenge and are currently in a weakened state. To maintain the stability of your spirit, we suggest that you stop continuing your challenges for now."

    Only now did that person realize that a weakened status effect had been applied to him.

    "If you wish to continue the challenge, kindly proceed to the Illusion Paradise to temper your spiritual energy. Challenge attempts will be rewarded in ordance with the stability of your spirit."

    Illusion Paradise? And only now did they realize that the blue ball of light beside the first ball had been unlocked. That seemed to be the so-called Illusion Paradise.

    "Let¡¯s go take a look."

    They stepped into the Illusion Paradise.

    Howl!

    Numerous howls resounded in the air.

    "So it¡¯s these fellows?"

    They gained understanding. The so-called Illusion Paradise was in fact an area filled with regr mutated beasts. This species of beasts existed in huge numbers everywhere. This species had strong reproductive capabilities and was hard to kill while also being noisy; they were hated by all. The only function of these beasts was to stabilize one¡¯s spiritual energy.

    "This so-called illusion seems to be a mere tunnel."

    "True. All these beasts are actual beasts rather than illusory beasts. We will have to stabilize our spirit here first."

    "We can continue the challenge after stabilizing our spirit?"

    "That seems to be the case."

    Everyone was curious. Having arrived at this ce, everything was really happening rather than just happening in an illusory world. After all, this spirit art of Chen Feng¡¯s was merely forming an illusory world of light. The hunting of these beasts was the actual method of stabilizing their spiritual energy. Soon, after around 10 minutes of hunting, some of them recovered the stability of their spirit and were rewarded with a single challenge attempt."

    "I¡¯m done."

    "I¡¯m nearly done as well."

    "Let¡¯s go back and take a look, then."

    Once again, they resumed their challenge. Like they had previously, the opponent this time was one whose strength was simr to the challenger¡¯s. The opponent was still a crude silhouette of light. After failing the challenge, the user would still be inflicted with the weakened status effect.

    As for those who obtained victory in the challenge...

    "Congrattions, you havepleted your challenge."

    "Present ess level: F ss, 10/100."

    "Once again, your spiritual energy is increased by one point."

    "Present overflowed energy: ..."

    "Distance from promotion into E ss: ..."

    "After reaching E ss, each victory will grant an increase of..."

    ...

    A row of data appeared, subtly tempting the user to continue the challenge.

    "It seems like an unlimited increase is indeed possible."

    "Hold on, there seems to be a user manual here as well?"

    Shua!

    Someone opened the user manual.

    Within the user manual, theplete process for promotions from E ss and beyond were listed. The higher the level, the more the increase would be. This seemed to be a system filled with temptation.

    "Hold on. The level in the illusory world of the spirit art is different than one¡¯s level in the real world?"

    "That¡¯s right."

    "Since that¡¯s the case, if an E-ss warrior were able to achieve a D-ss ess level in the illusory world, the amount of spiritual energy increase per victory would be..."

    At this thought, their hearts shuddered with excitement. Shortly afterward, they got a rather formidable F ss warrior to test this out. Ultimately, this F-ss gic warrior was able to obtain an E-ss ess level in the illusory world. There, this person defeated his opponent. With the victory, he obtained an increase that was seemingly off the charts. Only several attempts were required before he was able to break through into E ss for real in the real world as well.

    "Holy shit!"

    "One¡¯s progress will be so excessively fast after one¡¯s ess level has exceeded one¡¯s actual level in the real world?"

    "Good gracious!"

    "If everyone does the same..."

    They trembled in excitement. They now realized how heaven-defying this spirit art of Chen Feng¡¯s was. From F ss, the user¡¯s improvement would be guided without stop, with the reward upon promotion serving as the unending temptation that triggered one to attempt the challenges without stop. Moreover, it seemed like such a method of improvement would not bring about any side effects or losses. The only exception was the so-called weakened state for failing a challenge.

    After some tests, they noted that this weakened state would be carried forward to the real world as well. However, one could get rid of this weakened state by battling and killing a mutated beast of a certain level. It seemed like this method of improvement truly had no side effects? The only thing one needed to waste was their time, nothing else. For gic warriors, who thirsted for strength, this was not an issue. Therefore, nearly everyone immersed themselves within the world of Master Spirit Trainer.

    "Hahaha, I have been promoted to E ss."

    "Same here."

    "Heh. Just you wait until I reach A ss. At that time, I will be able to dominate everywhere."

    Countless people mored without stop. Now, this Master Spirit Trainer became a must-have for everyone.

    Warriors of all sses, from F to A, started crazily grinding their level in the illusory world for the sake of obtaining a higher level in the world of the spirit art, to obtain greater increases in their spiritual energy. Everyone was overjoyed.

    "This is truly deserving of the name ¡¯spirit art¡¯."

    "Chen Feng is actually capable of creating an ability like this. How amazing."

    "I heard that back then, he also gave a form he created to the Gene Production Association for free. This person is honestly too kind. I only hope that he still has sufficient resources to research a new ability."

    "True. I do not wish to see Chen Feng finished either."

    "We all owe Chen Feng."

    Countless people rained praise upon Chen Feng. At present, the deputy president of the Gic Union was filled with doubt. This did not seem like what he had been expecting. He had initially believed that for something this useful, Chen Feng would sell it at an extremely expensive price. Unexpectedly, Chen Feng had actually released it for free¡ªhe wasn¡¯t epting anything at all. Had he gone crazy?

    For an ability like this, it wouldn¡¯t be excessive to ssify it as a beyond-A-ss ability, yet Chen Feng had actually ssified it as an F-ss ability? What was he thinking? Nobody had any idea what Chen Feng was thinking. Even the deputy president started doubting himself, wondering if he had been too prejudiced against Chen Feng due to his history at the Gene Production Association. After all, Chen Feng was a person who had contributed greatly to humanity...

    "That¡¯s right. How could I think of him as such a person? Even if Chen Feng has that dark history, even if he has scammed countless people, even if he turned the Gene Production Association into his private property, his contributions to humanity are something one cannot erase. Perhaps I have truly misunderstood him."

    The deputy president felt ashamed of himself. With the release of this super-powerful ability for free, he truly couldn¡¯t bring himself to continue ming Chen Feng.

    At this time, Li Lei found Chen Feng in hisboratory.

    "What are you doing? Even if you are performing charity, you don¡¯t have to do this, right? Do you have any idea how many points you could have earned if you sold this new spirit art? If you are toozy to deal with the sales, you can get us to do it for you. Even if I¡¯m only paid a 10%mission, you would still earn much more than what Time Quicksand made," Li Lei stated bitterly.

    Chen Feng smiled. "Don¡¯t worry. I know what I¡¯m doing."

    "I really can¡¯t understand you." Li Lei sighed. "You released this for free just to be famous? To obtain the praise of the public?"

    "No." Chen Feng shook his head and asked, "Have you heard of that saying?"

    Li Lei nked. "What?"

    "Free things are in fact the most expensive of all," Chen Feng stated calmly.

    "Free... the most expensive of all?" Li Lei was puzzled. He failed to understand the meaning of this saying, yet suddenly, a chill went down his back. This Chen Feng fellow...

    Right at this moment, as everyone was challenging the Master Spirit Trainer without stop, the first batch of users fully entered E ss. With this, they noted with astonishment that one particr ball of light that had previously been sealed in grey was unsealed.

 Chapter 556: Heaven-Defying Transactions

    Chapter 556: Heaven-Defying Transactions

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    After every promotion, additional functions would be unlocked. After every promotion, apart from additional spiritual energy gain, one could obtain additional mystery functions as well. An example was ranking. This particr function ranked the levels of the users. Users across the world were included in this rank.

    First ce: XXXX

    Second ce: XXXX

    Third ce: XXXX

    Apart from this, there were also regional rankings, city rankings, and many other types of rankings. With all these additional functions, even if this Master Spirit Trainer created by Chen Feng was a rather simple ability, with the top three in the rankings being featured in articles, the users were able to gain a sufficient level of respect.

    One ought to know that the present users of Master Spirit Trainer were humans across the world. As such, these featured people topping the rankings would soon be famous.

    "Holy shit. That Gou Dan fellow is already first ranked in our city?"

    "Ah ah ah, the first rankers are even featured in an article? They can even write down a single sentence to be used as a saying like an important person. How enviable. At the 11th rank, the only thing I get is my name being included in the ranking, nothing else."

    "How am I supposed to increase my ranking?"

    "There are no other methods. You have to grind without stop."

    They sighed. Each and every single one of the rankings received much attention. This was even more true for the world ranking. It seemed like as long as one entered the world of Master Spirit Trainer, one would be able to see all the rankings. In this new era where everyone was using Master Spirit Trainer, the reputation of the top rankers in this world couldn¡¯t be underestimated.

    And to increase one¡¯s rank, the only method was to challenge without stop, to remove their weakened state without stop whenever a defeat urred.

    "How nice would it be if there was a method for climbing the ranks faster."

    "Sigh. Nobody has any shortcuts."

    They felt regretful. Right at this instant, after grinding painstakingly, a certain user finally reached the limit of E ss and achieved D-ss ess level. Next, he noticed that another astonishing function had been unlocked again.

    The new function: 100 points to remove the weakened state.

    !!!

    As this news spread, everyone¡¯s eyes widened. Remove the weakened state? With 100 points? Hold on...

    In other words, after unlocking this function, one could remove the weakened state at any time? One could initiate a challenge at any time, disregarding the weakened state by only paying? Granted, this was a rather steep price. However...

    Bang!

    With this, everyone went crazy. This was especially true for those racing up the ranks. With this function, one could continue the challenges, increasing their spiritual energy without stop, and their ess level would increase without stop as well. Furthermore, the speed their strength was increasing at would be raised as well. All this seemed to be good news, something akin to a snowball effect.

    "Buy, buy, buy!"

    "Grind, grind, grind!"

    "I will most certainly obtain the first rank in this city today."

    "Hmph, I, on the other hand, am aiming to enter top 10 of the world ranking."

    Everyone started their crazy grind.

    Shua! Shua!

    Challenges were initiated crazily, and the precious points of the Gic Union became something asmon as some vegetable. Everyone, regardless of whether they were from the Gic Union headquarters or branches, whether they were weaklings or experts, was exhausting their points without stop. Even those F-ss gic warriors couldn¡¯t resist using their points to remove their weakened state, renewing their number of attempts without going through the stabilization process.

    The only reason for such craziness was to save time, to enter the ess level of E ss as soon as possible and to gain more spiritual energy as soon as possible. After all, at their present low ess level, the amount of overflowing spiritual energy after each victory was so great that it caused their hearts to ache endlessly.

    As for their opponents, it seemed like the opponents would forever be at a level simr to the challenger¡¯s. As such, there was no need to worried about the opponents they would encounter. The only thing they needed to concern themselves with was their ess level. The only thing they needed to do was increase their ess level until their ess level was at least equal to their actual level in the real world.

    Rush, rush, rush!

    Buy, buy, buy!

    Everyone became crazy. Only now did the Gic Union realize that something did not seem right.

    Hold on...

    With how things were progressing, something somewhere seemed off?

    "D-deputy president." The employee was sweating madly. "There¡¯s a mistake in our data somewhere."

    The deputy president, who was busy rushing toward the C-ss ess level, raised his head as he asked, "What data?" Presently, he was only two victories away from reaching C ss. As such, he was unhappy with this interruption.

    "Chen Feng¡¯s data," the employee answered with a sullen expression.

    "Chen Feng?" The deputy president was startled awake. "Show me."

    Next, he saw an extremely horrifying set of data. Based on thetest data, during the past two days, the amount of points used to purchase the function to remove the weakened state...

    Shua!

    The deputy president started sweating madly as he saw it. He stared nkly at the number that had surpassed 100 million.

    "Sur... surpassed 100 million already?" the deputy president mumbled.

    "That¡¯s right." The employee forced a smile. "This is merely the beginning. As the number of people who have unlocked this function increases, this number will continue to rise, until..."

    The deputy president was furious. "How did this happen?"

    "This..." The employee pointed meekly.

    The deputy president nced over at what the employee was pointing at. Instantly, he smiled bitterly. There, it was listed that the deputy president himself had already made 32 purchases. As a deputy president, he naturally had a huge amount of points. Furthermore, he was unwilling to waste his time fighting those mutated beasts to remove his weakened state. As such, it was only natural that he would purchase the function without stop.

    And thus... this had happened. Apart from all this, those damnable rankings were also what had caused everyone to purchase the remove-weakness function so crazily. It was rumored that there was a certain E-ss warrior that had been epted as the disciple of a beyond A ss after distinguishing himself in the rankings. Apart from this, various such rumors were being spread without stop.

    This was a brand new era, the era of Master Spirit Trainer. Just look at how Chen Feng had earned more than 100 million points in only a few days. If this was allowed to continue...

    The deputy president¡¯s heart chilled as he thought about this.

    The employee was extremely anxious as well. "What should we do?"

    "Get the research team to make a move immediately," the deputy presidentmanded. "Stop all their projects and get all of them to focus on researching this spirit art of Chen Feng¡¯s. I want to know what exactly is the core of this spirit art. I want to see clearly... what it is that constitutes the essence and ability of this spirit art." He could not allow this to continue. He was certain that if this continued, Chen Feng¡¯s points would surge rapidly until the moment where the Gic Union no longer had anything to exchange for this Chen Feng¡¯s points. At that time, based on a certain provision in theirws, Chen Feng would be able to use his points to exchange for the authority within the Gic Union. At that time...

    Hehe.

    The entire Research Department was rmed. After receiving themand from the deputy president, they started researching madly. They were well aware of how popr this spirit art was. They were also curious about what exactly this damnable ability was. What was the origin of this ability?

    "There is no such thing as gaining spiritual energy from nothing. Even when using gene reagents, the energy used to increase one¡¯s spiritual energy is obtained from the materials used to produce the gene reagent. If so, what exactly is the source of the energy used for the spiritual energy increase in this spirit art of Chen Feng¡¯s? We must figure that out."

    This was the main goal of the Research Department. Why was everyone using this spirit art capable of increasing their spiritual energy? Was it based on the concept of the conservation of energy? What was the source of the energy? From the air? How was that possible? The lingering energy in the air could only be used for slow growth. Such rapid growth for users of the spirit art was simply impossible to achieve. Up until now, nobody had ever achieved such a feat using energy in the air as their source.

    If so, what was up with this spirit art? Nobody had an answer. The Research Department started researching day and night, and after one week, they finally obtained a result.

    This result they had obtained caused their hearts to chill.

    "Is the researchpleted?" the deputy president asked the person with deep dark circles.

    The head of the Research Department nodded. "Yes."

    "Tell me the results, then." The deputy president forced himself to focus. After all, it had been a week since he¡¯dst slept.

    "From our investigation, we found that the energy source for the increase of spiritual energy in the users of the spirit art is not something that appeared out of nowhere. Rather, the energy originates from the opponents," the head stated solemnly.

    "Opponents?" The deputy president became confused. "Isn¡¯t the opponent something formed and supplied by the spirit art itself?"

    The head shook his head. "That¡¯s not the case. Although a user can only see a silhouette of light when battling their opponent, our research has revealed that the so-called opponents are actually real humans."

    "Who are those people? Where are they?" the deputy president asked anxiously.

    "We, the users of spirit art, are precisely the opponents." The research department head forced a smile. "Chen Feng¡¯s spirit art first simplifies the appearance of all opponents by covering them up with a special effect. In truth, the challenges and battles are in fact between fellow users. The so-called opponents are us, the users."

    Shua!

    The deputy presidentpsed into silence. He was truly shaken. Those figures of light they had been battling were actually fellow humans.

    "Each user is first given with a grade, and then users of the same grade are arranged as opponents against each other." The head smiled bitterly. "Even this is something we only discovered identally after we stumbled upon each other during challenges. Even with the special effect shrouding the opponent, we were able to recognize each other. That was how we discovered it."

    Suddenly, the deputy president thought of something. "How about the gained spiritual energy, then?" If the spiritual energy was gained from their opponent, what of their opponent?

    "The defeated user will enter the weakened state," the department head stated. "Through our research, we found that all those in the weakened state will retain 99% of theirbat power, but 1% of their energy goes missing. Since the amount is too minute, nobody has paid much attention to it."

    "Through hunting spirit-based mutated beasts at a level simr to the user¡¯s, the lost energy will slowly recover and stabilize, and ultimately, the weakened state will be removed as the user recovers to normal," the head slowly concluded.

    Holy sh*t! The deputy president nked. This was possible? "How about the weakened state remover he¡¯s selling?" the deputy president asked.

    "That must be a certain gene reagent provided by Chen Feng himself. Regardless of who it is that makes the purchase, Chen Feng will provide this gene reagent to reimburse the lost energy in a short period of time. Since a reduction of 1% isn¡¯t too grave, apart from specific circumstances, the cost for such a gene reagent shouldn¡¯t be too high. Based on our calctions, at most, this gene reagent might cost 3 points to produce." The head sighed.

    Deputy president: "..."

    He stared at the spirit art that he had still been so fascinated with earlier. A bitter feeling arose within him. In short, the spiritual energy gain provided by this spirit art was actually provided by fellow users like them? Suddenly, the deputy president recalled an ancient saying: wooles from the sheep¡¯s back.

    That¡¯s right, the energy was sourced from fellow challengers. The only thing Chen Feng provided was a rather expensive customer service.

 Chapter 557: Black Card

    Chapter 557: ck Card

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "This scammer!"

    In his fury, the deputy president nearly smashed his own desk apart. Suddenly, he discovered the scariest part of this spirit art of Chen Feng¡¯s. It was the fact that the users of this Master Spirit Trainer of Chen Feng¡¯s wereprised of everyone across the world, every gic warrior wishing to improve themself.

    So long as one won a challenge, one would obtain improvement. What would this signify for themoners? Strength! Even if one failed the challenge and entered the weakened state, it wouldn¡¯t matter. They would be fine after wasting a bit of time recovering their spirit. No matter what, one ought to obtain a single victory after several defeats, right? This would be sufficient for a lot of people.

    Unknown to all of them, apart from being customers of Chen Feng, they also yed a different role: the cannon fodder of the rich.

    That¡¯s right. For the rich, a defeat was nothing. Failing a challenge? Purchase the weakened state remover and try again! In any case, only 100 points needed to be paid. With only 100 points, they could restart their challenge almost immediately, allowing these people to constantly improve, constantly plunder the energy of those regr users. This allowed them to improve without stop, to unendingly rush toward a higher level.

    These people could seemingly improve without limit. This was precisely what Chen Feng was selling: improvement without limit.

    "These points..."

    The employee was extremely anxious as he looked at the number of points earned with a long string of zeros behind it.

    The deputy president forced himself to calm down. "It doesn¡¯t matter." Yes, Chen Feng now had a huge amount of points. However, even if it had reached over 100 million, so what? The Gic Union had numerous projects and missions worldwide. Missions and projects that rewarded up to 100 million points were everywhere. As such, this single item of Chen Feng¡¯s wasn¡¯t something for them to fear.

    Even if this was a rather frightening amount, it was still impossible for this amount to exchange for the authority within the Gic Union. It was still insufficient. Moreover...

    "Do you believe that he is the only one that can do such a business?" The deputy president sneered. He had already seen through Chen Feng¡¯s trick.

    Wasn¡¯t the core of his business the act of producing gene reagents by himself and selling gene reagents that were only worth several points at 100 points after repackaging it as a weakened state remover in Master Spirit Trainer? Others might not realize this, but the deputy president was clear on this. This thing here was simply a gene reagent. If so, why was it that Chen Feng was the only one that could sell it?

    "Let¡¯s go. We will try selling it ourselves as well."

    The deputy president purchased some gene reagents to test his theory. Unexpectedly, he seeded. Indeed, there were several recovery gene reagents in real life capable of removing the weakened state.

    "Chen Feng actually neglected encrypting his creation." The deputy president sneered. "Haha, in that case, we can start selling a weakened state remover as well. Chen Feng is selling them at 100 points each, right? Let us sell at 10 points, then. I refuse to believe that he can still make money with this."

    Shua!

    The employee¡¯s eyes shone as he heard this. s, as they prepared to set Chen Feng up, they discovered a rather thorny problem: they had nobody to cooperate with.

    Normally, the Gic Union would entrust things like gene production to the Gene Production Association. This time, though, the deputy president recalled something right as he was about to personally contact the Gene Production Association regarding this. It seemed like the present Gene Production Association belonged to Chen Feng?

    Hua¡ª

    Instantly, the deputy president and the employee recovered from their excitement, seemingly having had cold water poured on their burning blood. In short, that guy had actually taken this into consideration already? The deputy president smiled bitterly. Since they were able to see through the trick, there were naturally others capable of the same. Unfortunately, this spirit art was something created by Chen Feng himself, and the Gene Production Association was under Chen Feng¡¯s control as well.

    Who dared to offend him? Using gene reagents topete against Chen Feng¡¯s business? That was no different than courting death. Rather than saying that Chen Feng hadn¡¯t remembered to encrypt his creation, it was more apt to say that Chen Feng couldn¡¯t even be bothered with encryption. Why? Who would dare topete against him? Who could evenpete against him?

    "That damnable Chen Feng..."

    At this point, the deputy president was feeling so powerless that he couldn¡¯t even berate Chen Feng anymore. The only source of relief for him was the fact that even with this many points, wanting to purchase everything the Gic Union had to offer to qualify for purchasing authority was still a joke. It was far from enough.

    "Get people to pay close attention to Chen Feng." The deputy president paused and then continued, "Take note of whenever he has a new spirit art. One or two of them can¡¯t do much. However, if he is allowed to continue creating more and more..."

    The employee nodded slightly. "Understood."

    Beyond his expectations, before he could even start monitoring Chen Feng, a new announcement was released: a new system had been released for Master Spirit Trainer.

    "To help everyone better improve themselves, we have decided to provide services of a better quality."

    "New content as follows:"

    ----

    ck Card Membership

    Members with a gold ck card can enjoy a discount of 10% when removing the weakened state. A monthly fee of 1,000 points is required to maintain membership.

    Members with a tinum ck card can enjoy a discount of 30% when removing the weakened state. A monthly fee of 5,000 points is required to maintain membership.

    Members with a diamond ck card can enjoy a discount of 50% when removing the weakened state. A monthly fee of 8,000 points is required to maintain membership.

    Members with a crown ck card can enjoy a discount of 70% when removing the weakened state. A monthly fee of 15,000 points is required to maintain membership.

    ----

    Bang!

    This shocked everyone. Membership system? Everyone¡¯s eyes widened. It was unexpected that Chen Feng would suddenly release this function. Moreover, the members could gain a treatment so preferential through the discounts that it was unimaginable.

    "How powerful."

    "This is an exclusive service for the rich."

    The regr gic warriors could do nothing but feel jealousy and envy. Despite that, they couldn¡¯t say much because the points were only used to purchase weakness remover. The battle stage was still fair. As for those with some extra money in their pockets, they were now truly tempted.

    "Good gracious, a ck card offers a discount of 70%!"

    "It seems expensive, but if we make use of it frequently enough..."

    "I won¡¯t be able to afford the crown ck card. However, if it¡¯s the tinum ck card..."

    Countless people were tempted. People of different statuses in society were attracted by ck cards of different tiers.

    This membership system single-handedly conquered all gic warriors with points in their hands. Each person could decide on the membership tier most suitable for them after considering their financial status and how often they would use it. As for the final crown ck card, it was simply a perfect match for those wealthy people. Yet before the masses could even start joining the membership, a second announcement was released.

    ----

    With the release of the membership system, we are entering the super discount stage.

    Those who purchase one year¡¯s worth of membership in one go may enjoy a discount of 10% on their membership fees.

    Those who purchase two years¡¯ worth of membership in one go may enjoy a discount of 20% on their membership fees.

    Those who purchase three years¡¯ worth of membership in one go may enjoy a discount of 30% on their membership fees.

    Those who purchase ten years¡¯ worth of membership in one go will not be offered any discount on their membership fees, but their membership status will be converted to a lifetime membership.

    ----

    "Holy sh*t, this works?"

    "The highest discount is 30%..."

    "So by buying a 10-year membership, one can be a member for life?"

    "666666."

    This second announcement created yet another uproar. Now, they were truly tempted by this membership system. This was not the membership of some game, nor was this the membership of some hair-loss-prevention shampoo. Rather, this was a membership that gave a discount on something that would truly increase one¡¯s strength. Each point they had was something they had obtained after putting their life on the line.

    If so, whether this new service was worth their points or not was something each person could only answer themselves. Everyone started calcting the increase in strength they stood to gain and the discounts they could enjoy after bing a member. The masses started joining, and a majority bought only the monthly card. However, there were also some who bought the one-year membership, three-year membership, and so on. A bunch of lifetime crown ck card members appeared as well.

    Only now did the masses know how many rich people were there in this world, how many big shots had been hiding within the Gic Union all this while.

    Ten...

    Hundred...

    Thousand...

    Everyone was stunned as they saw the increase in members. What in the world, this spirit art could actually be used to do something like this?

 Chapter 558: Time to Negotiate

    Chapter 558: Time to Negotiate

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "It¡¯s over." The deputy president slumped down in his chair powerlessly. The points earned from the lifelong crown ck card members alone were already off the charts, even without considering the huge number of regr members. Chen Feng¡¯s points were already shooting far ahead.

    Shua! Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s points were increasing by an incredibly frightening amount each second. Looking at this, the deputy president¡¯s heart chilled. If this continued, it was likely that Chen Feng could really reach a point where he could afford everything the Gic Union had to offer, authority included. Sure enough, the Gic Union held a meeting regarding this shortly afterward. Nearly all the higher-ups were greatly rmed.

    "This won¡¯t do," one of the higher ups stated as he sweat profusely.

    "Why is there even such a provision in the first ce?" the deputy president grumbled.

    "This provision was put in ce during the early period when the union had only recently been established," that person exined with a bitter smile. "To encourage our members to put more effort into missions, we created this provision where when one has so many points that the union no longer has anything to sell to that person, that person can use their points to buy authority in the union, bing a shareholder of sorts. This was supposed to be impossible to achieve. Even back then when the Union did not have much to sell, it was still impossible for one to have so many points that the union no longer had anything it could sell to that person. Based on the calctions back then, for a peak A ss to obtain sufficient points through missions to achieve something like this, 300 years of hard work would be required. At present, with the huge amount of things the union has for sale, perhaps one would need 30,000 years of hard work to aplish this."

    Everyonepsed into silence. That¡¯s right. If points were merely earned through missions, this would be impossible to aplish. But now...

    Chen Feng was using this spirit art to tempt all the members of the Gic Union. Among the total members, even if only 10% of them were willing to spend their points, it would still reach a frightening amount.

    They all sighed. Back when they were young, they had had a dream. If the entire poption of this world were to give them one cent each, they could be a billionaire. Now, Chen Feng had achieved this childhood dream of theirs.

    Suddenly, someone asked, "Based on our present calctions, how long will it take him to rue enough points to buy everything the union has to offer?"

    After some calction, a department head of stated, "Based on our calctions, around 10 days."

    Shua!

    Instantly, the entire meeting hall sank into silence. Ten days... In short, something a peak beyond A ss would require 30,000 years to aplish would be aplished by Chen Feng in 10 days?

    "After 10 days, Chen Feng will be qualified to purchase authority in the Gic Union. Based on the current growth rate of his points, he will be able to purchase around 0.1% of the Union¡¯s authority on the 11th day," that person analyzed calmly.

    "Just 0.1%..." Someone heaved a sigh of relief. "That¡¯s still tolerable."

    "Oh, right. I forgot to mention that even when ites to the purchase of authority, the speed is still growing," that person stated coldly. "At present, this spirit art of Chen Feng¡¯s is extremely popr. As time passes, the amount of points he earns will only increase. On the 12th day, he might be able to purchase 0.2%. On the 13th day, 0.4%. On the 14th day, 0.7%. On the 15th day, 1%, and so on."

    Shua!

    Their expressions changed.

    He would be able to purchase 1% five days after his first purchase? In short, he would have purchased a total of 2.4% in five days? This was an extremely terrifying number, and all this was merely an estimate.

    One head of department stood up abruptly. "We must stop him." They could not allow the Gic Union to be the private property of a lone individual.

    The deputy president sighed. "How are we supposed to stop him?"

    Chen Feng was not an enemy, and everything he was doing was in ordance with thews of the Gic Union. Who could stop him? They couldn¡¯t lock him up with no apparent reason, right?

    Suddenly, the head of the Strategy Department said, "We definitely can¡¯t use brute force. However, if we use public opinion against him..."

    The deputy president¡¯s interest was piqued. "What do you mean?"

    "Essentially, the only way Chen Feng is earning points is by selling the weakened state remover," that person analyzed calmly. "Based on our understanding, something that only costs 3 points is being sold at 100 points by Chen Feng. Therefore, what if we sold the same thing for only 3 points? With Chen Feng selling at 100 points yet us selling at 3 points, what would happen?"

    Everyone sank into contemtion.

    The deputy president shook his head. "That¡¯s not possible. Chen Feng is the one who controls the Gene Production Association."

    That person shook his head. "We don¡¯t even need to produce the reagents ourselves. We only need to let the masses know of our intention to do this, let them know that we are about to do this. That will be sufficient. Public opinion will dictate what happens afterward."

    "..."

    The deputy president sank into silence.

    The head of the Materials Department had an unsightly expression. "But doing it this way, we will make a loss as well. At that time, we will be operating at a loss, selling the same thing that has made Chen Feng such crazy profit. Why not sell it at 50 points instead? That way, we can still profit somewhat."

    Shua!

    Everyone looked at him like he was some sort of idiot.

    He was dumbstruck. "That won¡¯t do?"

    The deputy president sighed. "What¡¯s the point? You sell at 50 points, while Chen Feng is selling at 100 points. Next, he will reduce his price to 40 points, and you will react by reducing your price to 30 points. What do you think we are doing? Do you think we are selling some vegetables? Moreover, you have forgotten the fact that we can¡¯t even produce the gene reagents. The only route we can take is suppressing Chen Feng using public opinion, turning this entire thing into some sort of social benefit for the masses. Do you know what social benefit is? Do you think Chen Feng is an idiot? Making it some sort of social benefit is the only way of suppressing Chen Feng, the only way of making him give up. After all... we are all fighting for humanity."

    As the rest heard this, they gained understanding. Immediately after the meeting, the Gic Union proceeded as they had agreed upon. Soon, the entire world was in an uproar.

    "Have you heard? The Gic Union is nning to take over this spirit art of Chen Feng¡¯s."

    "Yeah, I heard. It is rumored that the Gic Union is prepared topensate Chen Feng at a great price. In the future, everyone will only need to pay 5 points to remove the weakened state."

    "It is said that for the sake of resisting the devil race and the ancient race, the Gic Union is willing to suffer loss. We only need to pay 5 points for each removal, while the Gic Union will be subsidizing the remaining 95 points."

    "Yeah, I heard that as well."

    "Wow, that¡¯s good."

    "Well, the premise of all this is Chen Feng actually being willing to sell. Otherwise, the Gic Union won¡¯t do anything about it anyway."

    Everyone started talking about this.

    In this unique era, the Gic Union yed a unique role. When this huge organization announced this, everyone was moved. This was especially true for the fact that the Gic Union was willing to suffer a loss for humanity. This rmed countless people. This single announcement had extremely grave repercussions, with the most obvious being the dramatic drop in the number of people purchasing the member cards and the number of people purchasing the weakened state remover.

    Apart from the rich who had no fear, arge majority of people started waiting and looking forward to the promised 5 points. This n of Gic Union¡¯s seemed to be greatly effective.

    Indeed, this Master Spirit Trainer had brought the public much joy. However, the 100 points that could only remove the weakened state once would soon allow them to remove the weakened state 20 times, renewing their challenge attempts 20 times. Naturally, this was something everyone was willing to ept. It reached a point where a petition was submitted, hoping that Chen Feng would be willing to relinquish his grip on the spirit art, with the reason given being "for the sake of humanity."

    At present, it was of utmost importance that humans increased their strength. Even the cheapskate Gic Union was already willing to suffer such a huge loss for the sake of humanity. As such, they hoped that Chen Feng would be willing to reduce the amount of profit he earned for the sake of humanity as well. The number of signatures on the petition increased without stop.

    "Look at this." Smiling, the head of the Strategy Department stated, "This is the so-called public opinion. Now, how much longer do you think Chen Feng can hold on? Soon, the time to negotiate wille."

    Chapter 559: Bro, It¡¯s Still Free This Time

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Li Lei was furious. "These fellows are too shameless." This was the very first time he had ever felt so embarrassed on behalf of the Gic Union. Where was their face? Chen Feng had only recently created this spirit art capable of both making money and helping the public at the same time. Now, those fellows were using such a method to force Chen Feng to sell it to them. This was too excessive!

    "Stay calm," Chen Feng stated unhurriedly.

    "Are you not angry?" grumbled Li Lei. Why did it look like he was the one being forced by the Gic Union instead of Chen Feng here?

    Chen Feng stretchedzily. "Will being angry help?"

    "You have such good temper." Li Lei was still feeling extremely indignant. After all, he had once promised to give Chen Feng a better environment, yet unexpectedly, here at the Gic Union, Chen Feng was actually being pushed to such an extent.

    "Come on, it¡¯s just some points, yet those guys..." Li Lei was greatly disappointed in the Gic Union. Just some points...

    Chen Feng turned around and looked at Li Lei with an amazed expression and concluded that Li Lei was truly in the dark about how much Chen Feng had earned from this new spirit art.

    How could those points he had earned be described with the word "some"? If he had been allowed to continue, the entire Gic Union would have been his before long. How could those big shots have possibly remained calm? Chen Feng wasn¡¯t surprised at this, though. If he was one of those big shots, he would try to think of something as well when encountering something like this. He would never watch on as the Gic Union be the private property of a lone individual.

    Mhm...

    Chen Feng checked online and noted that at present, specialists were already appearing, analyzing and figuring out who should be the one to hold the ownership of spirit art. There were also some specialists saying that since Chen Feng was such a kind guy, he would most definitely hand the spirit art over. Some analyzed that with the present state of humanity, where they were constantly being threatened by the ancient race and the devil race, Chen Feng had to put his personal benefits aside and so on.

    "Tsk tsk."

    Chen Feng was amused as he read all this. From the sounds of things, it seemed like if he refused to hand the spirit art over, he would be the greatest sinner of all of humanity.

    Li Lei sighed. "If we were in a peaceful time..."

    He shook his head.

    He could remember that thest person who had created something this miraculous was Luo Yuan. That had happened during peacetime. With the wristband Luo Yuan had created and the Stormtech Co. Ltd. he¡¯d founded, he had be a legend. Yet now, when Chen Feng created something miraculous...

    "I¡¯m sorry." Li Lei felt extremely guilty. If his position in the Gic Union were higher, he might be able to stop all this.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "You are not to me." He was still clear on the identity of his friends and enemies. Since he had long ago seen thising, how was it possible for him to not have prepared for this at all?

    A smile formed on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "Don¡¯t worry. I believe that the Gic Union will most definitely give me a perfect exnation for this."

    The next day, a new announcement was released, which shocked the entire world.

    ----

    I heard that the Gic Union is willing to sacrifice to better help humanity. I hereby announce that I am willing to hand over Master Spirit Trainer to the Gic Union for free, just like what I did previously with the beyond X gene reagent I created. I sincerely wish that the Gic Union will give humanity an even better future.

    Regards, Chen Feng.

    ----

    Bang!

    This shocked the entire world. Free? That¡¯s right, Chen Feng was handing over Master Spirit Trainer to the Gic Union for free. Everyone was stupefied. The Gic Union was stupefied. They had imagined countless scenarios, such as a high price, a low price, or unwillingness to sell. They had even drawn numerous ns to force Chen Feng to sell it. Unexpectedly, Chen Feng would directly give it to them for free.

    Only now did they recall how back then, Chen Feng had seemingly given the beyond X gene reagent to the Gene Production Association for free as well. That was simrly a heaven-defying deed, a contribution capable of altering the fate of humanity. At this instant, countless people felt ashamed of what they had done to Chen Feng previously.

    These were the ones who had wished dearly that the price would be reduced from 100 points to five points. They had even used the inte to use public opinion to force Chen Feng to relinquish his grasp. Unexpectedly...

    "Chen Feng is truly a great person."

    "This is the perfect example of a selfless human."

    "This is a moment that deserves to be carved into the annals of history."

    Everyone was shocked. The entire inte was filled with information regarding Chen Feng. This was a day where Chen Feng alone was honored. At present, the people of the Gic Union were looking at each other. After their Trade Department confirmed that the Master Spirit Trainer given to them was the stable version, they formalized the takeover and, at the same time, started running this Master Spirit Trainer. Everything seemed perfect. Chen Feng had even performed numerous optimizations to the numerous functions of this Master Spirit Trainer before handing it over to them.

    "This..."

    Even the higher-ups of the Gic Union were feeling ashamed now. Had they been viewing the actions of a noble person through the lens of a scoundrel? Chen Feng hadn¡¯t even attempted to keep the Master Spirit Trainer for himself.

    "This... What now?"

    "Leak the news about how Chen Feng helped optimize it before the handover. Rain praise down upon him."

    "All right."

    This was the only thing they could do to reduce the guilt they were feeling. Soon, this news was spread, and once again, praises were rained upon Chen Feng, skyrocketing his reputation.

    On the next day, Master Spirit Trainer started operating. This time, the Gic Union was the one running it. For five points, one could remove their weakened state once. This attracted countless people, kick-starting an era of rapid growth. Without a doubt, the strength of humanity as a whole had once again been greatly increased.

    As for the one who the masses felt endless gratitude to, it was without a doubt Chen Feng. This act of Chen Feng¡¯s, of handing over Master Spirit Trainer for free, had an extremely huge impact, so much that even the losses Gic Union took to sell the weakened-state remover to the masses at a cheap price remained unmentioned. All the honor and glory belonged to Chen Feng alone.

    "Sigh."

    When those of the Gic Union¡¯s Operation Department checked online, they noted that not a single speck praise hadnded on them. Almost everyone was expressing their gratitude to Chen Feng alone.

    "No matter what, we deserve some praise as well, right?" The person from the Operation Department felt extremely wronged. Yes, Chen Feng had indeed contributed greatly. However, the Gic Union was the very party operating at a loss presently. Yes, the production materials of this gene reagent cost only three points. As such, selling them at five points seemed profitable. However, after deducting the cost of manpower, the Gic Union was in fact suffering a loss.

    The higher-upsforted them. "Forget it. At least we were able to solve the crisis involving the authority of the Gic Union. We are well aware of your contribution. Just wait a while. When the impact of what Chen Feng did has diminished, we will arrange for you guys to be featured in the news as well. All your hard work will be properly reported."

    With this, this incident reached its end. The entirety of humanity entered a phase of rapid growth, increasing their strength greatly. As for the Gic Union, despite the losses they had suffered, they had managed to solve the crisis regarding their authority. To be able to obtain a certain degree of positive publicity, such a small loss wasn¡¯t something they were bothered with.

    As for Chen Feng, even though he hadn¡¯t been able to earn as much as he should have, he had received the greatest of glory and be a legend among the masses, obtaining supreme honor. But then, was this truly how things were going to end?

    In the second week after this incident, when the media was still talking about this without stop, suddenly, the Gic Union discovered something. Something seemed to be off.

    "This number..."

    The higher ups of the Gic Union sank into contemtion when they saw this month¡¯s financial report. For an organization of their size, to asionally suffer some losses for the sake of humanity was something eptable. That was why they found the losses they suffered from running Master Spirit Trainer to be eptable. However, the actual losses they were seeing in their financial report seemed much higher than they had anticipated?

 Chapter 560: This Is Too Excessive

    Chapter 560: This Is Too Excessive

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The figures here did not seem right. At the thought of someone daring to mess around with their ounts, they shivered. Was this due to corruption? Those people were courting death!

    "Investigate. Investigate clearly."

    The higher-ups were all furious. Soon afterward, they figured out the reason this month¡¯s financial report looked so ugly. It was actually due to that newly online Master Spirit Trainer. Why did the operation cost seem somewhat different from the forecast? The essence of Master Spirit Trainer was "weakened state removal." This was also what the consumers were buying and the only special service the Gic Union had to offer. They were only charging the users five points per removal.

    As the charge had been reduced greatly, the masses had started using it crazily, resulting in the number of purchases shooting up and reaching an astronomical amount. As for the cost of producing this "weakened state remover," each point spent had an extremely huge effect. Here... the deputy president discovered with horror that the initial cost of three points had increased to 10 points. This was apletely uneptable amount.

    What was going on? Why was it 10 points? One ought to know that every single additional point that it cost would result in several hundred million points lost per month for the Gic Union. Yet here, it had been increased by a total of seven points. This was too fatal!

    "Who¡¯s messing around?"

    The deputy president¡¯s eyes became bloodshot. He vowed to find this damnable corrupted fellow who had caused this increased cost. s, regardless of how they investigated, no problems whatsoever were found in the ounts, because the cost of the production materials alone had already reached nine points.

    "???"

    They were all dumbstruck as they discovered this, "Didn¡¯t our investigation back then show that the materials only cost three points?"

    The investigator was calm. "Yes, that is indeed so. Back then, we investigated the materials used by Chen Feng and all rted data. Based on our investigation, the cost was indeed three points, a cost eptable for mass production."

    Everyonepsed into silence. In short, the form Chen Feng had been using to produce the "weakened state remover" was different than the form they were using?

    "That is quite probable," one of them concluded. "Chen Feng must have used some new form that we don¡¯t have any record of. This is the reason why we have suffered such a loss."

    They all gained understanding. So that was the case.

    "Let¡¯s ask Chen Feng about the form then," someone suggested.

    "All right."

    They nodded in agreement. In their memories, a legend such as Chen Feng was, in essence, a selfless researcher, and such people were normally extremely easy to negotiate with.

    New form...

    Asking for the form from Chen Feng...

    Shua!

    Suddenly, the deputy president¡¯s back chilled. He had a sudden feeling that this time, they had definitely stepped into an extremely deep trap. No, that couldn¡¯t be the case... There had to still be some way to recover from this...

    The deputy president gulped as he convinced himself. He was of the opinion that if Chen Feng did not agree to hand the form to them, they could perhaps continue using public opinion to pressure him. s, they received a response for their request shortly after.

    In a somewhat embarrassed manner, Chen Feng replied, "Oh, you guys are talking about that form? That is something I researched at the Gene Production Association. As such, the rights to the form belongs to them. I am really sorry but I do not have the authority to issue the rights to the form to you guys."

    Gene Production Association... The deputy president¡¯s hands trembled as he heard this. Chen Feng had sessfully transformed this issue that had initially been something involving only him as an individual into an issue that involved the Gene Production Association as a whole. If so, things would be troublesome to deal with.

    "No, that can¡¯t be. I must have been thinking too much." The deputy president tried contacting the Gene Production Association.

    The Gene Production Association gave their reply. "Oh, you are talking about that form? We have officially included that form in our form database. The form is free of charge for use. However, since this form is quite special and is rather unstable, for the sake of the health and future of our fellow producers, a limitation has been ced on it, allowing only those who meet the requirements to use it. If you guys want the form, just send someone here to be tested. Since the form is free, anyone who passes the test can use the form freely..."

    Test...

    Grasping onto the final ray of hope, the deputy president gazed at the people of the Operation Department. "Who are the ones producing the weakened-state remover at present?"

    "Everyone." The people of the Operation Department gave it some thought before continuing, "That form is one that was made public long ago. As such, anyone can use it. We only need to issue the corresponding missions for it to be produced. For a single gene reagent, one can obtain 10 points. Such an ample reward is the reason so many people are selling it to us. Apart from this, we also have a specialized factory for this. Despite the fact that the producers in this factory are all niche producers, they have no problems producing this low-level form. Unfortunately, we are, after all, not professionals in gene production. As such, the amount we can produce ourselves using the factory is rather limited. Therefore, 90% of our supply is obtained via missions."

    The deputy president¡¯s heart chilled as he heard all this. In short, these fellows were all rogue low-level producers? It wouldn¡¯t be a problem for them to produce those low-level spirit recovery forms, but if they had to pass the Gene Production Association¡¯s test...

    Suddenly, the deputy president thought of something. "How much is the registration fee for the test?"

    "A hundred thousand."

    This was a standard amount when it came to certifications. The deputy president¡¯s hands trembled. He contacted a close friend of his in the Gene Production Association, an ex-ssmate of his, and had him investigate which damnable person had proposed that idea in the first ce. Next, a name that caused him to despair was sent to him: Chen Feng.

    Suddenly, the deputy president cursed, "Chen Feng, screw you!"

    The other union members around him exchanged nces. Since when had their deputy president had a tendency to curse?

    The deputy president¡¯s face darkened. "Damn it." Scammed! This was indeed a major scam! He had already been aware of it, so why had he still stepped into the trap? If they were only dealing with Chen Feng as an individual, it would be easier to deal with, but now they would have to face the Gene Production Association. Using public opinion to pressure the Gene Production Association wouldn¡¯t work at all. After all, their official reason for this decision was "for the future of producers."

    Moreover, the charged registration fee for the test was an eptable and fair amount as well. For a producer, a hundred thousand was in fact an extremely cheap price. What excuse could they use to pressure the Gene Production Association? As for the difficulty of the test, it was not the ce of the Gic Union to get involved in the tests of the Gene Production Association.

    "That fellow must have done his calctions long ago." The deputy president gnashed his teeth. "What if we entrust the Gene Production Association with producing this gene reagent on our behalf?"

    Shua!

    Soon, a price was quoted.

    "This price..." The Operation Department head¡¯s expression darkened. "If it¡¯s converted into our points, the price is equivalent to five points. Even we are only selling it at five points. That coupled with the security measures, management of the illusory world, all the other misceneous costs, and also sustaining the membership cardholders that purchased the membership cards from Chen Feng early on... Even if we have stopped selling membership cards, the ones sold previously are still acknowledged. The costs of all of them... especially the damnable lifelong members... An average loss of 3.8 points per sale? Screw that!

    No matter what discount it was, they would be making a loss on every sale. In essence, this spirit art created by Chen Feng was abination of weakened-state remover and the management of the illusory world of Master Spirit Trainer. Joining the weakened-state remover, which was essentially a gene reagent produced in reality, with the illusory world using a spirit art so the users could consume this item in the illusory world was also something with an extremely high cost. The only constion was the fact that these costs were all fixed costs, since this was essentially pure energy exhaustion, which cost them around two points per sale.

    In their initial calction, with a production cost of three points, they would have been able to maintain a bnce, not earning a profit yet not making a loss from the sales. The only thing they would lose was the cost of the manpower, which wasn¡¯t much. But now that the production cost had increased to five points, the losses were truly... dramatic.

 Chapter 561: Any Other Options?

    Chapter 561: Any Other Options?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The Operation Department head was anxious. "We can¡¯t agree to this."

    The deputy president smiled bitterly. "Do we still have other options?"

    Everyone was speechless. Indeed. Were there any other options? If they choose to not use the new form, to not hire the Gene Production Association to produce it for them, it would cost them the extremely high amount of 10 points per production.

    "Why don¡¯t we try and use public opinion?" suggested the Operation Department head. In fact, "for the sake of humanity" was a very convenient excuse.

    "..." The deputy president gazed at him with a hooded gaze. "Do you still remember the excuse we used to force Chen Feng to hand over Master Spirit Trainer to us?"

    "Excuse?" The Operation Department head gave it some thought and stated smoothly, "Chen Feng¡¯s version requires 100 points per weakness removal, since the cost is too high, which is too expensive. As for us, we can reduce the cost to five points..."

    Shua!

    As his words reached this point, the Operation Department head paled. Indeed, these were the words they had said themselves. The Gic Union had imed to have a new technology capable of reducing the production cost to only 5 points, forcing Chen Feng to hand over Master Spirit Trainer to them.

    But what had happened instead? If the public found out that the Gic Union did not have this so-called new technology at all, that they had all been yed like fools by the Gic Union, exploited to force Chen Feng to hand over his Master Spirit Trainer...

    Mhm.

    If that were to happen, it wouldn¡¯t be long before the Gic Union lost the trust of the public.

    "Therefore..." The deputy president sighed. "Regardless of how difficult things are this time, we have no choice but to swallow it."

    Chen Feng...

    The deputy president weakly slumped into his chair. He knew that this was hisplete defeat. From now onward, the Gic Union would have no choice but to deliver a huge amount of funds to the Gene Production Association on a monthly basis. Selling to the Gic Union at five points when their production cost was only three points, the ones to truly profit from this would ultimately be the Gene Production Association.

    As for the Gic Union, the very owners of the Master Spirit Trainer, they would have to suffer losses just so that Gene Production Association could make such handsome profits.

    ??

    The more the deputy president thought about it, the sadder he became. Why had something initially so good developed in such a direction? Perhaps the only thing he could rejoice about currently was the fact that they had stopped Chen Feng¡¯s takeover attempt.

    "Why is Chen Feng even doing this?" One of them couldn¡¯t understand Chen Feng¡¯s reason for doing this. Was this revenge? What would he, as an individual, gain from this? Nothing at all. Apart from obtaining his revenge against the Gic Union¡¯s act of snatching Master Spirit Trainer from him, he wouldn¡¯t gain anything at all. They could not understand the logic behind this action.

    The deputy president smiled bitterly. "How is this revenge?" After all, the present Gene Production Association was simply the private property of Chen Feng.

    **

    Gene Production Association.

    While the Gic Union was shrouded by a figurative dark cloud, the Gene Production Association was in celebration.

    "Worthy of being Chen Feng indeed."

    Hou Liang was smiling so wide his face bloomed like a flower. Being able to earn such great profit from that cheapskate Gic Union, everyone in the Gene Production Association wasughing happily. This time, they had truly profited greatly. Even though the bigger portion would go to Chen Feng, this was, after all, a profit they had earned out of nowhere.

    Hehe.

    "How are you doing? Are you going to break through into A ss?" Hou Liang asked with a smile.

    Chen Feng nodded slightly. "Mhm."

    "What do you need? Just let us know," Hou Liang dered tyrannically. "Master producers, grandmaster producers, or even those senior producers that had already retired, say the word and I can get all of them to help you."

    "I need to enter a training camp to break through," Chen Feng stated calmly.

    Shua.

    Instantly, Hou Liang paused. Training camp... The one required by Chen Feng was most definitely those camps used to increase one¡¯sbat strength. This was something he was truly unable to help with. After all, those camps all belonged to the Gic Union. As a producer...

    Huh, hold on. Suddenly, Hou Liang recalled something. "You are nning to enter one of the Gic Union¡¯s training camp?"

    Chen Feng nodded. "Mhm. Their camps should be where I can break through in the shortest possible time."

    "..." Hou Liang¡¯s expression became strange. "You had just scammed the Gic Union badly. I suppose their higher-ups all have a deep hatred against you now."

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression had no change. "I am aware of that."

    "You sure are calm." Hou Liang gave Chen Feng a thumbs up. "I reckon they won¡¯t even allow you to get past their entrance."

    Chen Feng smiled. "I know that. Therefore, I have to think of something."

    "Think of what?" Hou Liang asked curiously.

    Chen Feng smiled. "A method to make thempromise."

    When Hou Liang saw Chen Feng¡¯s expression while saying those words, his back chilled. This guy was most definitely nning to do something yet again.

    Gic Union.

    Li Lei, who had just returned from a mission, saw that everyone had an expression as if they had just been raped. Curious, he asked and was eventually told what had happened. It was actually due to Chen Feng! The Gic Union had been acting too arrogantly and had ended up screwing themselves instead. As for how it had happened... Li Lei did not know whether tough or cry after he found out.

    Finally, he understood what Chen Feng had meant when he¡¯d said that free things were the most expensive of things at times. Li Lei tried contacting Chen Feng but received no reply, as the call was disconnected straight away. Li Lei nked. Normally, something like this would only happen when one entered seclusion.

    Li Lei was inwardly rmed. One ought to know that the first time Chen Feng had entered seclusion, he had created Time Quicksand. The second time he had entered seclusion, he had created Master Spirit Trainer. And now, he had entered seclusion yet again. The mere thought of this caused Li Lei¡¯s heart to shudder.

    In truth, as a human, he truly wished that Chen Feng would be able to create more spirit arts. However, the problem here was the fact that each time Chen Feng did so, he also created trouble.

    "I hope that this time, he won¡¯t create any huge issues," Li Lei muttered.

    At the Gene Production Association, Chen Feng had indeed entered seclusion, just as Li Lei had guessed. After the previous two incidents, Chen Feng had no choice but to ponder the topic of what he could produce that would be beneficial yet no single party could monopolize. Only by creating something like this would he have an excuse to enter the Gic Union.

    Mhm...

    Naturally, what he created had to be free for all as well. Only by giving it out for free would there be more users, and only with that would he stand a chance to earn more. But then, what should he create this time? Chen Feng sank into contemtion. Yet another spirit art? It seemed pointless.

    Regardless of what spirit art he created, something simr to what had happened previously would ur again. No matter how much he earned, either the Gic Union or some other organization would make a move against him. Granted, Chen Feng still had the confidence to earn more despite that, but that was pointless for what he truly wanted at present. The only thing he wanted presently was authority in the Gic Union.

    Chen Feng frowned. "Let me think..." What should he create? Master Strength Trainer? Master Physique Trainer? Master Ding Dong Lengthener?

    Mhm...

    None of these seemed reliable. Chen Feng had always believed firmly that spirit arts would be a brand new system independent of the current gic system, something capable of propelling humanity to a new height, something whose actual value was much higher than that of Master Spirit Trainer.

    Even if Chen Feng wanted to earn points, he would have to approach this from the perspective of all of humanity. s, by himself, what he could do was rather limited. Researching all his ideas one by one, how long would it take for this new system, this spirit art, to establish itself among humans?

    "Perhaps..." Chen Feng contemted. "Spirit, how much luck value do I have left?"

    "You have 1,824 points," Spirit answered faithfully.

    "Splendid. Hopefully, it will be enough." Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed. This time, he had to seed!

    Chapter 562: Master Spirit Developer

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the Gic Union.

    As the task of gene production had been handed over to the Gene Production Association, the wave brought upon by Master Spirit Trainer finally calmed. At this, the Gic Union finally heaved a sigh of relief.

    The people of the Material Department smiled bitterly. "Our losses are rather immense." In this incident, the Gene Production Association and Chen Feng had profited greatly and all of humanity had been blessed; the Gic Union was the only party that had been scammed ruthlessly, yet they still had to feel grateful for this conclusion. At the very least, that was the attitude they had to disy. When facing the Chen Feng who had given the Master Spirit Trainer to them for "free," the Gic Union had to disy their gratitude when in public.

    The people of the Finance Department were furious as well. "I am grateful to his mother."

    However, the deputy president was feeling relieved. "Finally, this is over." Even if they had been scammed ruthlessly by Chen Feng, at the very least, what Chen Feng had gotten from them was some money rather than points. As such, the management authority of the Gic Union wasn¡¯t under threat by Chen Feng.

    "What if he continues and researches something simr?" The people of the Material Department were extremely anxious. As the others heard this, their hearts chilled as well. They thought about it and... Mhm... apart from Master Spirit Trainer, what if Chen Feng continued developing spirit arts? How should the Gic Union respond to that?

    "I heard that Chen Feng is in seclusion yet again," someone muttered in a low voice.

    The deputy president shook his head. "Don¡¯t worry. As long as this incident is dealt with, all will be fine. As for other spirit arts, we won¡¯t fall for the same scam twice."

    After all, they were the Gic Union. This time, they had indeed been scammed. However, based on the way in which Chen Feng did things, their Strategy Department had alreadye up with a counter. If Chen Feng really dared toe out with a simr development, they would most certainly ensure that he would end up suffering a great loss instead.

    Chen Feng... we shall be waiting for you.

    On the next day, all the departments of the Gic Union prepared themselves. At present, Chen Feng was alreadybeled as the highest-level threat. They had entered a phase of total war against him. Naturally, this so-called war was not an actual war of force. Rather, this was a war of wits.

    The absolute counter had been put in ce and was waiting for Chen Feng¡¯s next spirit art.

    "Are you certain?" the deputy president asked in a low voice.

    "Yes. We have already divined it. Although what we saw was still somewhat fuzzy, we are sure that Chen Feng¡¯s next spirit art will beunched in a few days. Based on the contents of what we divined, it will simrly be named Master XX as well," an old man stated calmly.

    The deputy president expressed his gratitude. "Many thanks." Indeed... yet another Master XX series? A smile appeared on the deputy president¡¯s face. After all, the Gic Union was a huge organization. The only reason they had fallen for Chen Feng¡¯s scam previously was because they had never expected him toe up with something like that.

    Now that the entirety of the Gic Union was ready for it, Chen Feng would be helpless against them. Divining, forecasting, visions, and so on were all done. Every single action of Chen Feng¡¯s was in their grasp. Even the day of sale and part of the name of the product had been divined. How could Chen Feng still hope to scam the Gic Union? It was no longer possible.

    "But then, this name..." The deputy president nked as he saw the Master XX given to him. Generally speaking, when those experts divined something, the information would most certainly beplete. This time, only Master XX had been divined. Was there some peak beyond A ss protecting Chen Feng? The deputy president contemted.

    In any case, it did not matter. Even with this iplete name, it was sufficient for them to make their preparations. What would it be this time? He looked forward to it. Three dayster, Chen Feng ended his seclusion with sess in his research of a brand new spirit art. At present, he was preparing his information for the official announcement without knowing that the Gic Union had already fixed their eyes on him long ago.

    "Chen Feng is out of seclusion."

    "Mhm, I saw that. He is registering the data."

    "True enough, it¡¯s a brand new spirit art."

    "Hmph..."

    "Time, venue, type, everything is exactly the same as what the senior foresaw earlier."

    "Hehe..."

    "What this kid scammed from us previously, we shall earn it all back this time."

    The Gic Union rubbed their fists, anxious to start their revenge on Chen Feng. Countless people eyed Chen Feng secretly.

    "We don¡¯t have to be too ruthless."

    "After all, Chen Feng is still contributing toward humanity. Cut him some ck. Only with that will he continue developing other spirit arts."

    "Hehe, that¡¯s natural."

    After all, they were simplypeting in business rather than being in an actual war. They discussed secretly, figuring out a way to earn the most they could while at the same time leaving Chen Feng some face. As all this happened, Chen Feng finished his registration. Chen Feng¡¯s third spirit art was released. Instantly, all the Gic Union members worldwide that had been paying attention to Chen Feng received thetest announcement.

    The higher-ups were filled with anticipation. "Here ites."

    "Hehe, what will be the training this time? Strength? Agility?"

    Instinctively, they opened the announcement, yet the instant theyid eyes on the name, they were stupefied.

    ----

    Name: Master Spirit Developer

    ssification: Spirit art.

    Function: Through suitablebinations, one can develop new spirit art unique to oneself.

    Exhaustion: Simr to the energy exhaustion of regr abilities.

    Conversion Rate: Free.

    Right Holder: Chen Feng.

    ----

    Gic Union: "???"

    All gic warriors: "???"

    Everyone was dumbstruck. What damnable spirit art was this? None had any idea. But then, from the name of this thing here...

    "Buy!"

    The first thing they did was purchase this spirit art. This was what was good about Chen Feng¡¯s spirit arts¡ªhe always released them for free.

    Shua!

    Light swirled before their eyes. An illusory world appeared before them. Simrly, this was a rather crude illusion formed of simple shining lines.

    ----

    1. Developing spirit arts

    2. Editing spirit arts

    3. Selling spirit arts

    4. Purchasing spirit arts

    ----

    Amid the light, only several simple options were avable. Curiously, everyone took a look and noted that the final three spots were temporarily empty. However, when they tapped on the first option, aplete user manual appeared.

    ----

    Spirit arts development options:

    1. Spatial module, range of adjustment: 0% to 1%.

    2. Time module, range of adjustment: 0 seconds to 1 second.

    3. Energy module, range of adjustment: 0% to 1%.

    4. Pending

    ----

    "This thing..."

    The eyes of some people who were tech-savy opened wide. Could it really be as described here, where they could develop brand new spirit arts?

    Shua!

    Someone tried using it. With astonishment, they found that the time module could truly be controlled. That¡¯s right, these modules such as time, space, and energy weren¡¯t something the users could use previusly, since these were the core abilities of the spirit arts. However, Chen Feng had now provided them an interface with which they could make use of these abilities.

    By only inputting the corresponding energy, they could now use these modules. Naturally, based on the amount of energy poured in, the effect would be different, such as 0%, 0.5%, 0.6%, and so on. The stronger one needed it to be, the higher the energy exhaustion would be. With this unique method, Chen Feng had provided them with an ability unique to each of them.

    "This works?"

    Some tried developing something.

    ----

    Content of development

    Selected module: time module. Range: adjusted to the maximum. End.

    ----

    That¡¯s right. Some of them started using the simplest development option.

    Shua!

    A brand new spirit art was formed.

    Unnamed, undefined, unedited.

    After testing it out, they found with great astonishment that this was precisely the Time Quicksand Chen Feng had developed earlier on. This thing here was truly capable of taking away one second of time.

    "I have actually developed Time Quicksand by myself?"

    That person was stunned, even though he had only developed this Time Quicksand through the interface provided by Chen Feng.

    "Holy shit, this is too amazing," that person eximed in admiration. "Let me try selling it."

 Chapter 563: Energy Spatial Helix

    Chapter 563: Energy Spatial Helix

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Shua!

    He selected the option to start selling, yet a prompt popped out with an indication that this spirit art was already published for sale, and the information of Time Quicksand was shown. That¡¯s right. A spirit art that had already been published could no longer be sold. But it did not matter much. Shortly after that, someone developed a new spirit art through a differentbination of the spatial module and energy. Naturally, these newly developed spirit arts were essentially useless abilities. An example was a particr spirit art developed through abination of 0.5% spatial power and 0.5% energy. This was an ability with a huge energy exhaustion rate, and it was named Spatial Energy Helix.

    "It can actually be sold for real!"

    Their eyes widened. This abilitycked a practical use, but what it signified was an entirely different thing.

    Bang!

    Everyone was in an uproar. The masses started selling various spirit arts, finally understanding how the selling option worked. First, anyone could put a spirit art up for sale. As long as the copyright of the particr spirit art had yet to be registered to someone else, that person would be allowed to publish it for sale. However, for a spirit art whose copyright had been registered, one could only purchase it instead of issuing it for sale.

    Second, a price had to be set for any spirit art issued for sale. The prices here used the Gic Union¡¯s points. Third, Master Spirit Developer charged a 10% fee for the sale of all spirit arts as a management fee. Fourth, for all spirit arts sold, so long as energy and the different modules were used, additional energy-transfer fees would be charged as well.

    An example was the 10% transfer fee for energy module, 10% transfer fee for the spatial module, and 9.9% transfer fee for time module.

    "This works?"

    Everyone was stunned. Spirit art development, editing, and sale... Suddenly, they found that Chen Feng had sessfullyunched aplete and brand new tform of his, a tform of spirit arts.

    As for the final function of this Master Spirit Developer, it was the function to purchase spirit arts. The people tried casually selecting the option to purchase the Spatial Energy Helix listed for sale at 10 points.

    Shua!

    The points disappeared and the purchased spirit art was received. After receiving the spirit art, aplete energy cirction method was transmitted to the buyer through Master Spirit Developer. One only needed to familiarize with it and try doing what it said...

    Bang!

    They were actually able to use this ability for real, even though this Spatial Energy Helix was a useless ability.

    "Holy shit! I used the ability for real."

    "How powerful!"

    "Hahahaha, I can¡¯t believe I am now a master researcher that has developed a new ability."

    "66666666."

    "It seems like anyone making use of this Master Spirit Developer properly will be able to be a master."

    "Yes, that¡¯s possible."

    Everyone was in joy. One ought to know that generally, these masses would only have the opportunity to be the consumers, to be the ones who purchased abilities using the points they had earned through hard work. And now, Chen Feng had opened a brand new path for them: the path of development.

    With Master Spirit Developer in hand, anyone could develop a new spirit art and be able to tower above others!

    "Is that possible?"

    Someone looked at the purchasing option. There, the first entrepreneur of this Master Spirit Developer, the developer of Energy Spatial Helix, had now earned over 180,000 points.

    Bang!

    Everyone¡¯s eyes became red from envy. They were aware that everyone had only been buying this Energy Spatial Helix to try out this newly developed tform. However, the sales volume and the points he had earned... After calcting, they noted that he had earned 180,000 points. That¡¯s right, that was what he had earned. Even the developer of the ability himself, who had merely developed it casually out of curiosity, was stupefied at this.

    He had never expected that an ability he¡¯d published as a joke would actually earn him so much from the sales. Even after the 30% cut, he still had 126,000 points remaining all for himself.

    "Insane, this is insane!" muttered one of the jealous masses, who remained stupefied for a long time. Naturally, this was not the only person who was jealous of the Energy Spatial Helix¡¯s developer. Almost everyone who saw the sales volume went crazy. Everyone started immersing themselves in spirit-art development. They were clear that for today, regardless of what trash ability they developed, it would still sell well. After all, like the very first entrepreneur, the second, third, and fourth person stood to earn a lot.

    It would earn them handsome profits even if it was only sold for 10 points per ability. Suddenly, everyone seemed to be immersed in their research. Instantly, the poprity of this spirit-art development tform increased rapidly. There was nopetitor in sight.

    At the Gic Union, in a meeting room.

    All the higher-ups gathered here. Next, they allpsed into silence. Looking at this tformunched by Chen Feng, they were all stunned. All their preparations previously had been done to counter any products Chen Feng might obtain internally with preferential prices to be sold to outsiders. Unexpectedly, this time, Chen Feng had no intentions of selling anything himself.

    The only thing he had provided was an interface, and everything for sale was developed by the users themselves. If the Gic Union wanted to interfere with this tform as well...

    Hehehehe...

    That would be the same as courting death. The fury of the masses would be sufficient to flood the Gic Union. At this instant, the higher-ups of the Gic Union were all extremely anxious. How could this have happened? The Strategy Department head was already going crazy.

    They all looked to the deputy president. "What do we do?"

    The deputy president slumped down into his chair powerlessly. "Report it." Only after crossing swords with Chen Feng had hee to realize how terrifying an opponent Chen Feng was. The moment this development tform had beenunched, he had known that it was over.

    "All right."

    The employed reported this through an emergency channel. On the same day, the president ended his seclusion.

    "President."

    They all shivered silently in fear. It was without a doubt that as the president of the Gic Union, this person¡¯s strength was excessively powerful. Before the beyond X gene reagent had even developed, he had already been at the peak of beyond A ss. If one were to select a single human that had the most potential for stepping into S ss, apart from this president, there would be no other candidates.

    Generally, this president, who believed only in strength, would not get involved in these misceneous affairs of the Gic Union. That¡¯s right. In his eyes, all of these were mere misceneous affairs. If not for the deputy president personally requesting help this time, he wouldn¡¯t have bothered toe out of his seclusion.

    The presided stroked his white beard. "Chen Feng?"

    He had a slight impression of this child. This was the child who had contributed greatly toward humanity before obtaining ownership of the Gene Production Association, bing a legend. Surprisingly, this child was now thinking ofying his hands on the Gic Union as well.

    "Give me a report on everything that has happened recently." The president stretchedzily. He had been in a long seclusion. He would just take this incident as a short vacation.

    "All right." The deputy president reported everything that had happened recently.

    "Mhm..." The president sank into contemtion.

    "Spirit arts..."

    The president purchased one spirit art personally to try it out. In the meeting, all the higher-ups did not dare to even move, all waiting silently by the side. After a long time, the president ended his attempt.

    "You guys don¡¯t need to worry about this."

    "Huh?"

    They all nked. They didn¡¯t need to worry? But the poprity of this Master Spirit Developer had exceeded that of Master Spirit Trainer! Even if the amount of points changing hands in this tform wasn¡¯t much at present, based on what had happened with Master Spirit Trainer previously, they couldn¡¯t even imagine the bleak future of the Gic Union if this was allowed to continue.

    "You guys have been thinking too much." The president shook his head. "In all honesty, the poprity of this thing will onlyst a single day at most. Yes, that¡¯s right. Have you guys not noticed something?" The president sighed. "Even if this Master Spirit Developer is magical and is attracting the curiosity of everyone, the abilities that have been developed by this are all trash abilities, abilities with no practical usage. Space, time, energy... for any one of these three, if one could train to the peak, one would be a legend. But here, through this tform, only 1% of the power can be utilized at most? It is far from enough. The most powerful module here should be the time module. But then, the duration of one second is truly too short. This thing here has no practical use." The president shook his head as he looked at everyone. "In your opinion, what exactly can people develop with these three modules here?"

    Everyone exchanged nces as realization dawned upon them. Indeed, even if this Master Spirit Developer seemed magical, were there any practical uses? Even if all three modules could be assembled freely, one would still be unable to develop anything good out of it. The only reason the masses were crazily researching now was because of the huge amount the first developer had earned.

    Due to this Master Spirit Developer being free, due to Chen Feng¡¯s poprity and reputation, the number of users of this Master Spirit Developer was extremely high. As such, those testing it out and those curious were extremely great in amount as well. There were even some who had purchased every single spirit art avable for sale on the tform. This was also the reason that first developer had made so much.

    However, how long could thisst? Novelty? Curiosity? This wouldn¡¯tst any longer than two days. When everyone saw clearly how this tform was simply incapable of releasing any proper abilities, the poprity of this Master Spirit Developer would decline rapidly before ultimately dying out.

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "So that¡¯s the case."

    After finally seeing the situation for what it was, they heaved a collective sigh of relief. Worthy of being the lord president indeed. With only a few minutes, he had been able to see clearly every aspect of Chen Feng¡¯s Master Spirit Developer. This strength of his was something they could only exim in admiration toward.

    The deputy president frowned. "Is that really the case?" At present, he stillcked understanding of this spirit art, since some time would be required for him to gain more understanding. However, he had a clear understanding of Chen Feng. That scammer¡ªoh, no, that fellow, would his methods only go this far?

    "We still need to pay close attention to this," the deputy president reminded them.

    The president shook his head. "Don¡¯t worry. After all, this is merely a child¡¯s toy."

    Deputy president: "..." He had no choice but to have his underlings continue paying close attention to this. Would Chen Feng be so simple?

    Indeed, on the next day, after a group of people started getting a clearer understanding of all aspects of this Master Spirit Developer, they were all disappointed. That was because they had discovered that in essence, this thing was worthless. It was simply incapable of developing a true ability of practical use. In short, this was nothing but a toy.

    More and more people realized this. After the poprity of the Master Spirit Developer reached its peak, it stopped increasing. As for those who had ced high expectations on this Master Spirit Developer, their hearts chilled. Was this thing truly a mere toy? They had been hoping that this thing here would change their lives. For people in the lower rungs of society like them, this was akin to hope.

    s, their hope had onlysted one single day. They despaired, "Why?" Some even started scolding Chen Feng online, feeling like their dreams and hope had been mocked by Chen Feng. Unexpectedly, this negative promotion attracted more attention and managed to bring a short burst of poprity for this Master Spirit Developer. However, that was as far as it went. Everyone was aware that soon, the poprity of Master Spirit Developer would decline rapidly.

    "This thing is going to die soon."

    "There¡¯s no helping that. Since no proper abilities can be developed with this spirit developer, who will make purchases through this tform? Who can sell without buyers? At present, everyone is merely trying it out for the novelty of it... Once the novelty wears off..."

    The people of the Gic Union watched on happily as all this happened. Something they had expected to be extremely frightening surprisingly died before it could even start posing a threat to them. Furthermore, Chen Feng¡¯s reputation was suffering as a result as well. After all, this spirit developer was being viewed as a scam. After this incident, would the masses still purchase Chen Feng¡¯s next spirit art the moment he released it? Mhm... this was quite the question. The Gic Union enjoyed the show that was unfolding.

    At present, Li Lei contacted Chen Feng immediately after he realized what was happening, "I¡¯m afraid you are in trouble."

    Chen Feng was curious. "Oh?"

    "This Master Spirit Developer you released." Li Lei rolled his eyes. "Even if the poprity of your Master Spirit Developer is still rather high presently, the poprity of this thing is like an arc. Soon enough, it will start dropping rapidly. Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re not aware of this?"

    The poprity of Master Spirit Developer had reached its limit at present.

    Chen Feng chuckled. "I am aware of that." This Senior Li Lei was still as energetic as ever. For Master Spirit Developer to have reached its present height, it had truly relied on the curiosity of the masses and the sliver of hope it had brought themoners. Naturally, the abuse he was receiving couldn¡¯t be forgotten either. At present, all the potential for this Master Spirit Developer continuing to grow in poprity had been exhausted.

    Without abilities of high quality on this tform, nobody would be purchasing anything. With that, the number of users would drop. With the drop in users, the number of developers would start dropping as well. Slowly, nobody would be using this tform anymore. Chen Feng was the clearest of all on how this all would work.

    He remembered how in his previous life, there had been one particr operating system he¡¯d liked greatly, called Windows Phone. Just like that, the system had died. Naturally, he was quite curious about whether his bad luck during his previous life had had anything to do with the death of this system that he had liked so very much. That shouldn¡¯t be the case, right? In any case, Chen Feng would most definitely not follow in the footsteps of Windows Phone. After all, in this world, there were nopetitors for this tform he had created.

    "Spirit. Are you ready?" Chen Feng looked at Spirit. Spirit was analyzing everything that had happened these two days.

    "No problem," Spirit confirmed.

    "Excellent." A smile formed on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "Let¡¯s start, then."

    Shua!

    Light shed past.

    At this time, just when the poprity of Master Spirit Developer had reached its limit and was about to drop, suddenly, the developer interface popped out. A new module was being installed.

    ----

    Ability module

    Able to add on abilities that you already have.

    Requirement: Mastery over the ability one wished to add.

    ----

    They were all confused.

    "???"

    "What does this mean?"

    "No idea. Let me give it a try."

    Shua!

    Someone attempted to add a basic fireball technique.

    Next, after the fireballbined with a certain dosage of the spatial module, the initially ordinary fireball technique was now able to teleport a short distance.

    Everyone was stunned.

    "Holy shit, this is..."

    "Let me try the time module..."

    Shua!

    As the fireballbined with the time module, suddenly, the fireball that was about 1.2 seconds away from reaching its target appeared right in front of the target. This seemed even more terrifying than the spatial version.

    Naturally, proper control was required to make use of this new ability effectively. Otherwise, if the module was applied too fast, the fireball would disappear immediately instead.

    "This..."

    The entire world was in an uproar. Those with a clear understanding of how this Master Spirit Developer worked understood clearly what this new update signified. This signified that all abilities would have the potential to be transformed.

    "Insane! This is insane!"

    Their eyes became red.

    "Good gracious!"

    "Spatial Fireball. I remember that for one to obtain this ability, one must have both spatial and me gic abilities, with both simrly trained to a certain extent before they could be fused in B ss. But now... even an F ss will be able to use this ability?"

    Everyone was going crazy. What was the concept of reducing the requirements of an ability from B ss to F ss? And this was merely a basic function of this Master Spirit Developer.

    Bang!

    Master Spirit Developer started increasing in poprity yet again. Once again, it became the hottest topic, even hotter than when it had been first released.

    The reason for this explosive poprity? Those trash abilities that had been sold at 10 points per ability had all been cleared from the store. In their ce, a bunch of genuine, powerful, and valuable spirit arts had appeared. For example, Spatial Fireball, Time Fireball, Devouring Waves, Tadpole Transformation, and so on. Numerous mystical and powerful spirit arts appeared.

    "Spirit arts! This is what real spirit arts should be like!"

    "Hahaha, I knew Chen Feng wouldn¡¯t scam us."

    "Future... this is where my future lies!"

    Countless people immersed themselves in the world of spirit-art development. As for those headstrong and wealthy big shots, all of them waited with their purses ready for those brand-new and powerful spirit arts to appear. Once again, the system used by all of humanity underwent a change. The entire world changed.

    At present, the Gic Union, who had been waiting for the death of Master Spirit Developer, was stunned. This seemed to be progressing differently from what they had expected.

    "Let me take a look." The president, who was resting, entered the interface of Master Spirit Developer.

    Shua!

    His eyes widened.

    This thing...

    Bang!

    That moment when the presidentbined a minor E-ss ability of his with the time module, when he saw the might of the developed ability...

    The president left the world of Master Spirit Developer and said with a sigh, "Prepare yourselves."

    "What?"

    They all nked. Prepare for what?

    "The entire world... is about to be transformed," the president muttered.

    On this day, a light drizzle was falling from the sky. It wasn¡¯t as bad as the rain when the devil race appeared, but this was still the type of weather that made it hard for one to feel cheerful. However, when the numerous mysterious yet formidable spirit arts appeared, all of mankind felt like a golden brilliance signifying hope had appeared in the sky.

    "Is this what spirit arts are?"

    Countless people stared nkly at the numerous abilities that had been developed freely. That¡¯s right. This was the present state of spirit arts. Initially, the spirit arts had only consisted of time, spatial, and energy abilities, which had not had any practical use. Now, when the gic warriors were allowed tobine their abilities with spirit arts, infinite possibilities were now possible.

    Bang! Bang!

    One spirit art after another appeared. In the Master Spirit Developer tform, the sales of spirit arts had surpassed all records. People watched as the sales volumes of the numerous spirit arts increased without stop, surpassing ten thousand, surpassing a hundred thousand, surpassing a million, and so on.

    "Haha. This really works."

    "Afterbining spirit arts with my original ability, the strength of the new ability is over onefold higher."

    "Same here."

    They all eximed in admiration. Due to the existence of this tform known as Master Spirit Developer, the strength of humanity had increased as a whole. From what the masses remembered, thest time something like this had happened was when the beyond X gene reagent was released. Yet again, Chen Feng had changed the entire world.

    "I want to be a developer!"

    Countless people joined the profession of being a developer. The frightening sales volume was the very motivation for these people. Some had even formed groups to develop "AAA-tier" spirit arts. One could imagine how terrifying these new spirit arts would be if their development proved to be sessful.

    "Buy, buy, buy!"

    As for those regr gic warriors, they were all taking this opportunity to increase their strength without stop. Every single day, there would be countless missions waiting for them. Even a tiny increase in their strength would increase their survival rate, let alone the survivability added by the present Master Spirit Developer that could increase their strength as a whole.

    All of humanity was overjoyed. The users of Master Spirit Developer surpassed one billion, and the number of spirit arts that had been sessfully developed surpassed a hundred thousand. Moreover, this figure was still constantly increasing.

    As for Gic Union points Chen Feng had, it had long since gone off the charts. At the Gic Union, the president and the deputy president were watching on in silence with everyone else as the figures signifying the points and authority of their Gic Union changed without stop. This time, they truly had no way of preventing it.

    The people of the Finance Department were not reconciled to this. "Are we going to just let this be?"

    The president looked at him with a strange gaze. "What else do you want to do, then?"

    "I..." The person from the Finance Department wanted to say something, but he decided against it and stopped talking.

    The Gic Union was way too used to their hegemonic ways. As such, they had only recalled now that this opponent of theirs this time wasn¡¯t an enemy, nor was it even a potential enemy. Rather, it was Chen Feng, the messiah of humanity! Using threats and bribes against him? The higher-ups would most definitely be the first ones to finish them off if they were to do that to Chen Feng. Regardless of what they decided to do, Chen Feng¡¯s safety had to be assured.

    "Remember this. Chen Feng¡¯s contribution to humanity is higher than all of you added up together. So long as thews are followed, regardless of what he does, we must assure his safety. Control yourckeys properly. I do not wish to hear about anything untoward happening. If something happens to Chen Feng..." The president¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "None of you should hope to survive."

    The people of the Finance Department trembled as they heard this. "Yes."

    "Hmph." The president concluded with a snort and stopped talking. Chen Feng¡¯s identity was too unique. The things he did were way too extraordinary as well. Regardless of whether or not Chen Feng was intentionally acting against them, he was ultimately still changing this world for the better, changing all of humanity. This single feat alone was already deserving of respect from everyone.

    "If he can continue repeating such feats," the president stated calmly, "so what if I give him even my position as the president?"

    Everyonepsed into silence. And now, the changes officially began.

    On the first day, Chen Feng¡¯s points reached an amount worth 20% of everything the Gic Union had to sell.

    On the second day, Chen Feng¡¯s points reached an amount worth 50% of everything the Gic Union had to sell.

    On the third day, Chen Feng met the requirement to start purchasing authority in the Gic Union.

    Shua!

    With a slight wave of his hand, instantly, all of Chen Feng¡¯s points were cleared. With this, he obtained the qualification to start purchasing authority in the Gic Union.

    On the fourth day, Chen Feng purchased 1% of the total authority.

    On the fifth day, Chen Feng purchased 3% of the total authority.

    On the sixth day, Chen Feng purchased 5% of the total authority.

    ...

    With the present seemingly unstoppable momentum of the Master Spirit Developer, in a single week, Chen Feng earned enough to purchase more than 10% of the total authority. With this, he officially became part of the upper management of the Gic Union. This shocked everyone.

    "This speed..."

    Everyone was now convinced.

    "One week, huh?" someonemented.

    Even back during the dawn of a new era with the creation of the wristband, Luo Yuan had still used two months just to obtain the qualification to purchase authority. As for Chen Feng, only three days had been used. The times had changed indeed.

    "Perhaps this is not a bad thing?"

    "I guess so."

    "I hope that Chen Feng will not act all bossy and set up stupid rules now that he¡¯s part of the management."

    Some of them were anxious. After all, the Gic Union specialized in something different than the Gene Production Association. If Chen Feng as a producer decided to interfere with the various decisions of the Union, it would bring them trouble. In the eyes of everyone, Chen Feng was ultimately a producer, a researcher. Even the miracles he had created were rted to these two identities of his. On the other hand, hisbat prowess and management prowess were things he had yet to prove.

    s, surprising them all, Chen Feng did not even bothering to the Gic Union after obtaining management authority. The only thing he did was select a certain training camp and register his name to enter. Next, with his terrifying contribution, he surpassed everyone and ced first on the waiting list.

    ----

    Spurt Growth Training Camp

    Right Holder: Gic Union.

    ss: Peak beyond B ss.

    Difficulty: 5 stars.

    Participants: Three per year.

    Order of Entry: Priority based on one¡¯s ranking in the Union.

    ----

    This was the camp most fitting for Chen Feng at present. This was also the only training camp with a vacant spot at present. But then, why had he decided to enter a training camp at a time like this?

    The president rubbed his head. "Should he not being here to join our meeting?" As someone who had just be part of the management, shouldn¡¯t he being over to fight for the power that was rightfully his? This Chen Feng guy...

    Suddenly, the deputy president recalled something. "Hold on." Training camp... Contribution points...

    Shua!

    The deputy president asked, "Do you have the list of applicants for the training camp from earlier?"

    "Yes."

    Soon after, the list was sent by the employee.

    The deputy president took a look and was instantly stunned. That was because the list indicated that previously, Chen Feng had applied to join a training camp and had been rejected due to his contribution points being insufficient.

    "It can¡¯t be, right?" the deputy president muttered. He had a rather bad premonition.

    The president looked at him with a strange gaze. "What are you doing?"

    "Please wait a moment." The deputy president called Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng on the screen, looking surprised. "Yes?"

    With an expression of someone who was constipated, the deputy president said, "I have a question I need to ask you."

    "Ask it, then." Chen Feng seemed rather busy.

    "The real reason for you buying authority in the Gic Union..." The deputy president paused before continuing with a disbelieving tone, "Was it for the sake of joining a training camp?"

    "Yes," Chen Feng stated as if that was the natural thing to do.

    Indeed...

    The deputy president nearly fainted. As for the other higher-ups around him, they were all stunned as they heard this as well. Training camp?

    "The only thing you wanted was to enter a training camp to break through?" the president asked, full of disbelief.

    "Yes." Chen Feng curled his lips. "Don¡¯t you guys have a limitation based on one¡¯s contribution points? I tried applying several times yet kept getting rejected. As such, I had no choice but to do something about it."

    "!!!!"

    Everyone had a rather wonderful expression on their face.

    This... what reason was this? What nonsense was this!

    "Were the contribution points you obtained from the Master Spirit Trainer not sufficient for that?" the deputy president asked with a forced smile.

    "Originally, it should have been sufficient." Chen Feng assumed a helpless expression. "However, you guys forced me out. I had initially nned to use the points and contribution points I earned through Master Spirit Trainer to try to get on the waiting list. Who could have expected that you guys would take it over from me forcefully? Out of options, I had no choice but to release Master Spirit Developer to earn points."

    Shua!

    Everyonepsed into silence. The silence was stifling. An unbelieving expression was stered on each of their faces. Numerous people had a "what the f*ck" expression as well. They had truly never expected that the primary reason Chen Feng had created these spirit arts and had even purchased their authority was for the sake of entering the training camp.

    They all looked at each other. "What in the world?"

    "Oh yeah, I am about to enter the training camp. I will be ending the call here." Chen Feng seemed somewhat busy with his preparations to enter the training camp and ended the call in a rush. The higher-ups were all left there looking at each other with stunned expressions on their faces.

    "Who¡¯s the one managing the training camps?" the deputy president asked with his teeth gnashed.

    Someone raised his hand meekly, a forceful smile on his face. "Me." What the hell? If he had known earlier that Chen Feng had done all this just to enter the training camp, he would have allowed Chen Feng to enter even at the risk of getting expelled from the Union. Chen Feng should have said so if he wanted to enter, right? How was this person managing the training camps supposed to know this if Chen Feng hadn¡¯t even mentioned it? What could he do about this? He was feeling extremely helpless as well.

    The president shook his head. "Forget it." After all, this ridiculous incident could be considered to have ended. The most important thing at present was the fact that Chen Feng was truly nning to enter the training camp despite the terrifying enemies they had. This was too dangerous. They wanted to stop him. However...

    "Damn it."

    The president¡¯s head ached. Since Chen Feng was now part of the upper management, they were no longer qualified to control Chen Feng¡¯s actions and had no choice but to allow Chen Feng to risk his life like this.

    "His identity is too unique. It is my hope that you guys can manage his trip to the training camp properly. No matter what, his safety must be ensured!"

    Chapter 566: The Deadline of One Month

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Devil race.

    Here, it was still shrouded by darkness. A certain powerful devil expert with a body the size of a mountain was prostrating on the ground like a domesticated animal. An old devil was seated above his body and gazing at the starry sky.

    Suddenly, the old devil muttered with his hoarse voice, "I like the dark, because... the darkness is also our home ground."

    A faint smile formed on the old devil¡¯s face. He gazed down at this devil, this formidable S ss that surpassed everything but could only prostrate under his feet at present. He deeply enjoyed this feeling of being the master of everything. The only source of difort for the present him was the faint scent of urine on the huge devil below him.

    "Reporting." A little devil presented thetest news to the old devil.

    "Chen Feng..." The old devil¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. What the little devil presented was precisely the news of what Chen Feng had done recently in the human territories. It seemed like he had done something extremely amazing, causing the strength of humanity to rise greatly.

    The little devil¡¯s killing intent surged. "Lord, should we..."

    The old devil shook his head. "There¡¯s no need. This fellow called Chen Feng isn¡¯t easy to kill. At present, the ancient race should be the ones most terrified of him. Our present strength is rather limited. As such, our priority should be maintaining a low profile and increasing our strength silently. Besides, both the ancients and humans are constantly trying to increase their strength. As such, we must hasten our speed as well. The superiority we gained from this giant S-ss devil will notst long. Before it ends, we must increase our strength as much as possible," the old devil stated with a resolute gaze.

    "Yes," all the other devils replied.

    Bang! Bang!

    Slowly, the giant devil stood up. Standing on the head of this giant devil, the old devil gazed upon this piece ofnd in front of him. He vowed to use the shortest time possible to awaken those slumbering devils and transform them all into his puppets as well. Even if those devils he was thinking of were all stronger than him, the truth was...

    "Hehe." The old devil patted the head he was stepping on and said, "Pipi Devil, let¡¯s go."

    Howl¡ª

    The giant devil replied with a loud roar. Bringing the old devil along, the giant devil charged into the darkness.

    **

    Ancient race.

    The present Qin Hai had a cloak draped on his back and his killing intent was surging. Behind him was an all-female army with all sorts of characters within. Even the previous emperor¡¯s harem members were included in this all-female army. Every one of them was gazing at Qin Hai tenderly.

    With their continuous consumption of that beyond X gene reagent, the present ancient race was much stronger. At the same time, they were also more feminine, and their figures looked even more perfect. Not a single trace of masculinity remained among the ancient race.

    Pu!

    Raising his hand, Qin Hai shed his de downward. With a sh, several ancient rebels were ughtered.

    Opposite Qin Hai, the rebels were so furious that their bosoms started trembling. "You are too much of a bully!"

    "Hehe." Qin Hai sneered with a cold gaze. In order to prevent himself from having a protective feeling against the fairer sex, before the destruction of all of the information regarding the ex-males of the ancient race, he saved a copy of that information on his wristband. As the breath of the rebels quickened from their fury, resulting in their chests jiggling, Qin Hai gave his wristband a nce.

    Mhm...

    Original name: Zhang Dapao.

    Introduction: Once sentenced to prison for molesting the daughter of the mayor. Ultimately escaped during the chaos.

    What followed was this Zhang Dapao¡¯s wanted poster, a picture of a person with a lush beard on his face.

    At the sight of this, all protective feelings for the fairer sex vanished.

    Pu!

    Decisively, Qin Hai killed this rebel with a wless figure.

    "Why must you kill all of us?" a different rebel female cried. They were truly willing to surrender. In fact, when the entire poption of the ancient race had be feminized, when Qin Hai had been crowned the new king, they had all been sincerely willing to surrender unconditionally. s... Qin Hai had issued amand to kill all rebels. As such, these rebels had decided to resist till the end, since they were going to die in any case. However, they truly had no idea why this guy here insisted on killing them all.

    "I¡¯m sorry. Your hands are filled with the blood of the ancientmoners. I do not trust you people," Qin Hai replied with a cold gaze. He issued his finalmand. "Kill!"

    Bang!

    The entire ancient army moved out, and just like that, yet another army of rebels was eliminated. Even though the ancients had all been feminized, their strength had be even scarier than before. It was rather hard to decide if this was actually good or bad for humanity.

    "Teehee. Unfeeling and decisive. This is our king," a yful-looking youngdy stated.

    "Excellent," stated a youngdy with a splendid figure. "The act of killing these rebels presented us with an opportunity to familiarize ourselves with this newfound strength."

    "Indeed," another person answered. "But then, it won¡¯t be long before all the rebels are killed off."

    "Mhm, it won¡¯t be long indeed," a gentle-looking youngdy agreed tenderly.

    Qin Hai: "..."

    This scene here with all these youngdies was supposed to be filled with allure. Unfortunately, whenever Qin Hai looked at his wristband, he saw the information and original pictures of all these youngdies.

    Third prince...

    Marquis Ming...

    Chancellor of Military...

    And numerous senior ministers...

    ...

    Looking at the original appearances of all these people, Qin Hai sighed deeply.

    "How many rebels are left?" Qin Hai asked.

    A sexy youngdy licked her lips as, with her killing intent surging, she said, "Two more armies. They are quite far from us. However, we should be able to finish them off within a month. After that, we will be able to start moving against the humans..."

    Oh.

    This particr person used to be the head eunuch.

    "One month, huh?"

    Qin Hai stared ahead toward the direction of the human territories. Even after doing everything he could, he could only dy the ancients this much. The moment the ancient rebels were eliminated, the ancient race could start attacking the humans. At that time, how was humanity supposed to face this feminized yet stronger ancient race? Worry filled Qin Hai¡¯s eyes.

    "Lord. It¡¯s time to set off," someone reminded him.

    Qin Hai nodded before leading the army to the rebels. "Let¡¯s go." Chen Feng... I won¡¯t be able to dy much longer... As for what happens next, it will have to rely on you.

    **

    Amid the boundless starry sky, numerous huge battleships were roaming the outer space.

    As the aviation industry of humanity had progressed rapidly, numerous wealthy people had been able to construct a "battleship vi" before moving from the into outer space. There in their ships, they lived the lives of true kings. A single huge battleship could fit a poption of a hundred thousand people, equivalent to a small city. Here, themander was the absolute leader.

    Somemanders led scientists and focused on research, somemanders led their underlings and focused on increasing their strength, and somemanders focused on building a promiscuous harem. Within a certain battleship, a certainmander around 60 to 70 years old with a huge belly was flipping the cards in his hands with a perverted expression. Within this huge battleship, not a single female could escape his grasp.

    "Let me see. Whose turn will it be today? Hehe..."

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. He pointed midair, and next, a petite figure appeared.

    "Huh?"

    He gave the hologram a nce, and instantly, his body trembled.

    "Wow! There is such a beauty on my ship? Hahaha. The age is somewhat young... Mhm... Well, it is understandable for me to have missed her before. After all, there are several hundred thousand people on my ship. Haha. Little sister, let me apany you today..."

    The pervertedmander drifted forward within the battleship. Suddenly, the air trembled. Instantly, a bright explosion erupted and a terrifying shockwave swept everywhere. In a split second, half the battleship was destroyed. Yet even as this happened, no news was able to be transmitted outward.

 Chapter 567: Ownerless Land

    Chapter 567: Ownerless Land

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Gic Union.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply as he saw the message he had just received from Qin Hai. One month? There truly wasn¡¯t much time left for him. Even though the devil race had suffered losses due to their previous defeat, the S-ss giant devil that had recently appeared served as a frightening deterrent. That single giant devil was akin to a nuclear warhead.

    As for the ancient race, Qin Hai had always been curbing them. However, with the existence of their Land of Legacy, the ancient race would never be eliminated for real. Moreover, Qin Hai would never be able to truly gainplete control over the ancient race unless the Land of Legacy was destroyed. Chen Feng shook his head, as this was an unrealistic expectation. There, an old man was hidden in seclusion. Moreover, there were also numerous peak beyond A sses residing there as well. Regardless of how many human experts were sent there, it would be no different than throwing rocks into the sea.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Forget it. I won¡¯t think about it too much." His utmost priority right now was to enter beyond A ss in the shortest time possible.

    I am currently a peak beyond B ss and can be a beyond A1 by breaking through the bottleneck and fusing with a new gene, Chen Feng thought inwardly. With his current strength, at most, he would be able to force a beyond A5 forcefully thanks to his strength as a peak beyond B ss. If he was able to enter beyond A ss...

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze burned. "Perhaps, I could even be a match for Li Lei." In a way, Li Lei was one of the apex existences among humanity. He was a beyond A8. As long as Chen Feng entered beyond A ss, he would possess suchbat power as well, even if thisbat power would only be made avable by erupting with his trump card. At least with that, he would possess powerful self-defense capabilities. If so, the only thing he needed to concern himself with was breaking through in the shortest time possible. Chen Feng looked at thetest data on the training camp.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. Following the Gic Union¡¯s guide, he reached his destination. There, two people were already waiting for him.

    A male of around 30 years old nodded at Chen Feng as he introduced himself, "Qian Chen."

    A delicate-looking youngdy smiled sweetly as she introduced herself, "Si Fan."

    Both of them were peak beyond B sses. For them to have been able to obtain the qualifications to enter this camp from the numerous beyond B sses of the Gic Union, their contributions to the Gic Union were apparent. Either they had terrifying backers or they were...

    Chen Feng nodded slightly. "I am Chen Feng."

    "We know." Si Fan smiled. "You have been rather popr recently."

    "Thanks," Chen Feng replied politely.

    "Let¡¯s go," Qian Chen stated faintly. "We have been waiting a long time for you."

    "All right." Chen Feng did not bother saying anything much. This time, the three of them were the participants in this training camp. Based on the content of this training camp, their goal here was extremely simple: to enter the "ownerlessnd." That was a ce with a unique environment. If one were able to grab the chance presented properly, one would be able to break through. This was the training camp with the lowest difficulty level among all training camps for their level.

    "That is a unique ce. There, the environment is rather harsh. However, it is also precisely this harsh environment that will allow our energy to be tempered, helping us in our breakthrough," Si Fan exined gently. She wasn¡¯t someone with an exceptionally beautiful appearance, yet she gave off a feeling offort to onlookers. When talking, her voice was gentle and soft. A person like this should be the ideal partner for a lot of people.

    "Is that so?" Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. Ownerlessnd...

    Qian Chen shared his knowledge as well. "In this mission, there are no ancients or devils. If nothing unexpected happens, there will only be the three of us there. As such, you don¡¯t need to worry too much about it."

    Chen Feng shrugged. "I don¡¯t think I have any information worth sharing." He had only selected this training camp at thest minute out of various camps. Furthermore, he hadn¡¯t been on the waiting list, nor had he been waiting for a year or so like others. Naturally, he had not had the opportunity to learn more about this camp.

    "No worries. It will be fine so long as you don¡¯t bring us any trouble," Qian Chen stated bluntly.

    Si Fan smiled. "You don¡¯t need to mind him. This is how he is, a blunt person. When I had just arrived, I suffered from his words several times as well. I nearly start chopping at him with my weapon."

    Chen Feng chuckled. Qian Chen raised his brow yet remained silent.

    "This ownerlessnd is a training camp discovered long ago. However, at that time, due to the environment there being too harsh, B sses were unable to survive there. As for A sses, this ce is useless for their breakthrough. As such, this ce was considered an abandoned region. But due to the appearance of beyond X gene reagents, beyond B sses appeared, resulting in this ce being converted into a proper training camp. Ultimately, this is thanks to you." Si Fan shook her head. "Without your beyond X gene reagent..."

    So that¡¯s the case, thought Chen Feng. Only beyond B sses could temper themselves in this unique environment?

    Si Fan shed a wide smile. "You don¡¯t have to worry. It has been 10 years since this ce was discovered. No other life forms had ever appeared here. If everything goes smoothly, we might be able to break through in a single day."

    Chen Feng nodded. "Mhm."

    Qian Chen maintained his silence as he led the way. Soon, the three reached their destination. Interestingly, as they neared their destination, the sunny sky started darkening. By the time they arrived, the sky above them was already dark as night.

    "It has gone dark?" Chen Feng checked the time but noted that it was still two o¡¯clock in the afternoon.

    Shua!

    Qian Chen¡¯s body vanished abruptly before reappearing.

    "The further it is from this ce, the clearer the vision is," Qian Chen replied calmly. "This is unrted to the time of the day. Rather, this is caused by the unique environment here."

    Ah? Instant teleportation? This Qian Chen fellow was a spatial specialist?

    "If it¡¯s only due to the unique environment, it¡¯s all good," Si Fan said with a smile. "Thest time the sky darkened suddenly like this, something extremely scary happened."

    She was clearly referring to the appearance of the devils.

    "Let¡¯s go," Qian Chen stated faintly. "Enter earlier so we can leave earlier."

    "All right."

    The two followed behind him in silence. Si Fan was feeling somewhat helpless. Evidently, she found this Qian Chen fellow somewhat dull, making this trip somewhat boring. Arriving, training, and finally returning... They might very well remain strangers even afterpleting this training camp. Truly... Si Fan shook her head as shemented inwardly.

    "Idol, remember to give me an autograph after this is over," Si Fan said to Chen Feng, smiling.

    Chen Feng chuckled. "Not a problem."

    Soon, the three reached the ownerlessnd.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    This area was formed of a rocky mound. Countless rocks hovered in midair, some of them streaking across the air at a terrifying speed. asionally, rocks would collide against each other, creating terrifying shockwaves that spread all over. This was the ownerlessnd. Here, everything was ownerless.

    Si Fan opened her mouth. "..."

    Qian Chen wanted to say something as well. "..."

    They both discovered that even when speaking, no sounds could leave their mouth. This was the first property of this ownerlessnd: sound restriction. This was a soundless ce.

    Chen Feng pointed at themunicator on his wristband. "Communicate with this."

    Shua!

    Light swirled as the three turned theirmunicators on and regained their ability tomunicate with each other.

    Si Fan frowned. "There are no sounds here."

    Qian Chen nced around. "Forget sound, have you guys not noticed how our bodies feel lighter?"

    Lighter?

    Their mood became solemn. Now that their bodies were much stronger than those of regr people, there was an innate resistance built into their bodies toward such external effects. As such, they hadn¡¯t paid it much attention. Now that they focused their attention on their bodies, they noted that the gravity here was indeed much lower than other ces.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng tried punching forth and was weed with a soft feeling, as if he had just punched cotton. Indeed, the environment here was very different.

    "It seems like there¡¯s no oxygen here either," Si Fan pointed out.

    "Oxygen..."

    Their hearts jolted. With the powerful bodies they had as peak beyond B sses, their bodies only required oxygen when training or improving themselves. For normal operations, their bodies could nearly stop using oxygen. However, they had only reached a state where they were nearly free of their dependence on oxygen rather than absolute freedom. Without oxygen, their bodily functions would not be able to recover and they could only maintain their present states. The moment they suffered any injuries or idents, the consequences would be unimaginable.

    "Let me take a look." Once again, Qian Chen sensed around. After a while, he opened his eyes. "Oxygen is not the only thing missing here. To be exact, we are currently in a vacuum. There isn¡¯t any energy in the air either."

    No energy! Their hearts sank as they heard this. They could ept theck of oxygen and being in a vacuum. To a certain degree, energy would be able to rece these bodily needs of theirs. However, without energy... That signified that they would be truly incapable of recovering here at this ce. This also signified that after their energy was exhausted, they would be truly finished. This was the scariest aspect of this ce. Chen Feng pondered. Was this the type of tempering this ce offered?

    Qian Chen¡¯s gaze became resolute. "It looks like, in essence, this is a training camp that will force us to break through by subjecting us to such harsh conditions." Despite the harsh environment here, his gaze was now burning. He trusted deeply that he could most certainly break through here.

    "Let¡¯s go. We are now only at the outer zone. When we reach there..." Qian Chen pointed forward. "When we reach the inner zone, we can start cultivating."

    Chen Feng gazed over. There, the ce Qian Chen was pointing at, was the area with the highest frequency of rocks streaking about. In this unique environment, all their senses were greatly restricted, and their bodily functions had dropped drastically as well. Despite all of this, they would still need to face those terrifying rocks... This was truly an environment of utmost harshness.

    "There¡¯s no need to worry," Si Fan stated with a low voice. "In fact, we still have a secret mission while we are here."

    Chen Feng was surprised. "Oh?"

    "To protect you." Si Fan sighed. "Both my family and Qian Chen¡¯s are underlings of the Gic Union. Beforeing, our families issued an absolutemand that we must assure your safety. If something happens, we must assure that you can return alive before thinking about ourselves."

    Chen Feng wiped his sweat. Unexpectedly, his present status had reached the height where he was akin to a national treasure, and these two were his protectors?

    Chen Feng smiled. Who would be doing the protecting was not a sure thing yet.

    "I know." Chen Feng did not bother giving them an exnation. They continued forward. Soon, they reached the inner zone.

    "Let¡¯s start," Qian Chen stated tly.

    Shua!

    He sat down cross-legged and started cultivating.

    Chen Feng and Si Fan were already used to his cold attitude. After exchanging nces, they both sat down and started cultivating as well. With this, their special training began.

    Xiu! Xiu!

    Numerous rocks streaked back and forth midair. The three of them dodged the stones with utmost difficulty. This was a ce where their senses were greatly reduced, a ce where regr B sses would most probably suffer greatly. However, the three of them were ultimately elites among peak beyond B sses. The three of them were existences capable of battling those of a higher rank.

    Whoosh! Whoosh!

    Slowly, their strength increased. In this unique environment, the nature of their energy transformed slowly. The beyond B ss energy was slowly transforming, approaching the standard of a beyond A ss. This ce was indeed worthy of being the best rapid-growth training camp. Everything progressed smoothly. If there were no mishaps, Chen Feng would most certainly enter beyond A ss this time.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    A faint energy bubbled up. The radiance surrounding their bodies started bing mystical and powerful. After 10 minutes, Chen Feng became stronger. After half an hour, Chen Fengpleted the transformation of his energy.

    After an hour, Chen Feng could feel that there was only a barrier separating him from beyond A ss.

    After two hours, Chen Feng could feel that there was only a barrier separating him from beyond A ss.

    After three hours, Chen Feng could feel that there was only a barrier separating him from beyond A ss.

    ??

    Chen Feng awoke from that mysterious state of mind. This feeling... Something seemed off? He could sense clearly how near he was to breaking through, yet he¡¯d been stuck at this final step for two hours. He turned around and looked at Si Fan and Qian Chen. The both of them had seemingly entered beyond A ss, as the energy surrounding them was changing qualitatively. If everything progressed smoothly, when they both awoke, they would both be fully fledged beyond A sses.

    Is my talent so poor?

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. He was aware that he was not a genius. For him to have reached this height, apart from his hard work, the contribution of Luck Aura could not be neglected. After all, even if he had his Luck Aura, the other geniuses were all constantly working hard as well. As for Luck Aura, it had merely been able to make up for the talent that he so verycked.

    Chen Feng sighed. "I didn¡¯t originally n to use it."

    "Spirit, activate Luck Aura," Chen Feng urged inwardly. "Calcte the amount of luck value required for me to reach beyond A ss."

    Spirit nodded. "All right."

    Hum¡ª

    Light swirled around. Spirit finished her analysis, yet an ugly expression appeared on her face.

    "What¡¯s up?"

    Curious, Chen Feng took a look. Instantly, he was stunned. The amount shown was an extremely huge amount, an amount of luck value Chen Feng might not be able to obtain even after a lifetime of umtion.

    "9,982,333?" Chen Feng¡¯s face darkened. Was this number meant to insult him or something like that? He was aware that he mightck talent. However, it shouldn¡¯t be this bad, right? This was too excessive! This appeared impossible now. Nearly 10 million luck value... What the heck? If he had that much luck value, rather than working hard like this, he could merely wish for world peace and then let luck deal with everything, right? That much luck value would be sufficient to even allow all the programmers in this world to finally obtain girlfriends.

    How excessive! Chen Feng was extremely disappointed.

    Chen Feng looked at Spirit. "Spirit, have you optimized the Luck Aura inversely instead?" In his memories, something like this was possible. In his previous life, there had been the sixth edition of a certain game, which the developers had forgotten to optimize prior to release, as they had been too busy thinking of ways to scam money out of the gamers. Ultimately, the released version had been so filled with bugs that it was worthy of being a legend in itself. Not only had theputer requirements for the game not lowered, they had increased by more than a hundredfold. Even the best graphics card of that time had not been able to run the game smoothly. This game had subsequently been known dearly by the consumers as Chinese Pdin, Sword and Fairy 6: The Fall of Titan.

    Spirit felt wronged. "How is that possible?" Let alone reverse optimization, for such a result, she couldn¡¯t even begin optimizing Luck Aura to reduce it.

    "Try optimizing it, then," Chen Feng said after some thought.

    "Mhm." Spirit waved her hand.

    Shua!

    Instantly, the number rose from 9,982,333 to an eight-figure number.

    Spirit: "..."

    Chen Feng: "...Inverse optimization indeed."

    Chen Feng sighed.

    "How can you say that?" Spirit pouted, feeling so wronged that she nearly cried.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "It¡¯s not your fault." He knew himself how good Spirit¡¯s optimizations were. It was truly unexpected that when used to work on something concerning his talent, it would work inversely instead. Was his talent really so poor?

    This amount of luck value...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng felt like something did not seem right. One ought to know that even back then when he calcted the amount required to kill Lu Hun with bad luck alone, the amount given wasn¡¯t even this high. At that time, only 100,000 luck value had been required.

    If he had 100,000 luck value, Chen Feng would not even have needed to do anything. Lu Hun would have died purely from idents. Naturally, it was simply impossible to obtain such a luck value. And now, just to break through into beyond A ss, it would require nearly 10 million luck value? Something had to be wrong here. Or perhaps...

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled as he thought of a certain possibility.

    "Spirit, investigate for me if anyone is causing a disturbance here," Chen Feng requested.

    "All right."

    Spirit activated Luck Aura.

    Hum¡ª

    Suddenly, the red light zed without stop in his illusory world. Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed instantly. Red light... this was the rm signifying the highest degree of danger!

 Chapter 569: No Way Out

    Chapter 569: No Way Out

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled. "Indeed, someone is messing around." It was no wonder. Only such a thing could make it impossible for him to break through, to need so much luck value just to break through. Someone was actually stopping his breakthrough, and that person was extremely strong.

    Qian Chen? The first person Chen Feng suspected was this fellow beside him. Shortly afterward, he shook his head. If these two were the ones, he wouldn¡¯t need so much luck value to deal with them. Chen Feng could directly kill them and then break through easily.

    Who could it be, then? Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. This unique environment here seemed to be one that would exhaust one¡¯s energy without stop, forcing one into extreme danger so that person could break through. However, what if after one exhausted one¡¯s energy, an enemy appeared? At that time, that person wouldn¡¯t even have the energy to flee.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. The enemy was hidden away, obstructing his progress in silence. It was certain that this enemy was waiting for him to exhaust his energy before appearing to finish him off. This enemy definitely had to be one with a deep understanding of him, then. After all, Chen Feng had reversed numerous seemingly helpless situations. Even when all seemed to be lost, Chen Feng was often able to turn defeat into victory. Even if he couldn¡¯t obtain victory, he would still be able to escape, regardless of how strong the enemy was.

    Therefore, to prevent Chen Feng from repeating those miracles, this person had been waiting here for Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng understood. "He is waiting for me to exhaust my energy." Very well. Since you want to wait it out, I will wait it out till the end with you.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng sat down cross-legged and continued his cultivation. Secretly, he tried to request help. However, he received no responses. All the messages he sent were seemingly thrown into an endless abyss. This was a situation Chen Feng had seen once before. His messages had all been devoured. It was not signal blocking. Rather, this was the devouring of messages.

    If this was normal signal blocking, Chen Feng would be able to notice it the moment it happened. After all, his signal interference warning system hadn¡¯t been installed for nothing. Qian Chen and Si Fan would simrly be able to detect it as well.

    Now, the signal seemed to have been devoured directly. The three of them couldmunicate with each other here. However, if they wished to send messages out of here, that was impossible. Naturally, even if they noticed this, they would assume that this was due to the environment as well.

    If so, there was only one method left. Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    "Spirit," Chen Feng stated.

    Spirit nodded slightly. "Understood."

    Shua!

    The little amount of luck value Chen Feng had dropped. Only 100 luck value remained.

    Hopefully... you receive this.

    Once again, Chen Feng regained his calm.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Faint energy flickered around him.

    Chen Feng seemed to have entered the same state the other two were in. Once again, he tried to break through. The Chen Feng that kept failing in his breakthrough seemed somewhat jittery, causing the speed of his energy exhaustion to increase.

    One hour...

    Two hours...

    Finally, their energy exhaustion reached the peak. Gradually, the auras of Qian Chen and Si Fan transformed as they reached the final stage of their breakthrough. As for Chen Feng¡¯s aura, it was stuck at the stage where it seemed like he was going to break through, yet at the same time, it seemed like he was not going to break through either. He was not far from beyond A ss. Very near, in fact. However, each time, he wascking a tiny bit of the push necessary to break through sessfully.

    "Ah ah ah ah¡ª" Chen Feng howled furiously. His voice was blocked in this environment; however, he was evidently using all his strength to break through. s, nothing seemed to help. Their energy decreased without stop, seemingly on the verge of drying up.

    Right at this moment, with a crisp sound, the auras of Qian Chen and Si Fan transformed abruptly. After being pushed to their limits, they finally transformed entirely.

    Bang!

    A terrifying radiance flickered out. All the energy they had exhausted earlier was regained instantly. Their breakthroughs were sessful. Both Qian Chen and Si Fan reached beyond A1. Even though they were unable to recover their energy to the peak level of a beyond A1, they had still broken through sessfully.

    From now on, they would be rank among the top existences of this world.

    Pu!

    Suddenly, Chen Feng coughed out a mouthful of blood. Finally, he stopped his breakthrough, as his energy had been fully exhausted.

    Si Fan rushed over and helped him up. "Chen Feng!"

    Chen Feng tried to say something. "I¡ª"

    "Don¡¯t talk," Qian Chen interrupted him. "You only need to focus on maintaining what energy you have left."

    Si Fan was extremely anxious. "Is his injury grave?"

    "His energy is about to be fully exhausted. The moment his energy stops supporting his body, with theck of oxygen here..." Qian Chen continued with a solemn expression, "He will die if he stays here."

    "What do we do, then?" Si Fan asked anxiously.

    "Take him away promptly," Qian Chen analyzed calmly. "Let¡¯s take him to the outer region and wait there. After recovering his energy, we can bring him back here to try again. In fact, failing to break through in a single attempt is rather normal."

    Si Fan carried Chen Feng and started heading toward the outer region. "All right."

    Shua!

    Shua!

    The two streaked toward the outer region. With their speed as beyond A sses, they were able to move at an extremely high speed. s, rmingly, regardless of how fast they moved, they seemed unable to leave this area.

    Suddenly, Qian Chen noticed something. "Something seems to be off." He looked around. Everywhere seemedpletely the same. No direction could be determined, and there were no other sights. This ce had actually transformed into a hugebyrinth.

    Si Fan¡¯s expression became unsightly. "Something happened." Now, this no longer concerned Chen Feng alone. If they couldn¡¯t solve this, all three of them might die here.

    Shua!

    Qian Chen started moving in a different direction. However, it was still useless. The energy of the three continued decreasing, especially Chen Feng¡¯s. Even though he was presently being carried by Si Fan and his energy exhaustion rate was already at its lowest, he was already in a critical state due to the excessive exhaustion earlier. As for Qian Chen, he still failed to find a way out.

    Si Fan despaired. "Chen Feng will not be able tost any longer." She looked around. Regardless of which direction she looked in, the same sight weed her. Endless rocks and endless nothingness was all around them, making it impossible for them to decide on the correct direction.

    Si Fan¡¯s heart chilled. "It¡¯s over."

    Qian Chen was ashen faced, as he could not think of anything either. Would the three of them die here for real?

    Si Fan looked at Chen Feng guiltily. "Sorry."

    "N-no worries." His hands shivering, the pale Chen Feng took out a gene reagent from his bosom, "This... this is spatial teleporting gene reagent I produced... By activating it, we will be able to go back."

    "For real?" Si Fan¡¯s eyes shone. Qian Chen also gazed at that gene reagent with an unbelieving expression. They had never heard of such a mystical gene reagent. A gene reagent capable of group teleportation? This thing here was too terrifying.

    However, as he recalled Chen Feng¡¯s identity... What was a mere group-teleporting gene reagent? After all, Chen Feng was a legend, the creator of the beyond X gene reagent and spirit arts.

    Si Fan took the gene reagent in an agitated manner. "Let me do it."

    Hum¡ª

    Just as she was about to activate the gene reagent.

    Shua!

    With a sh, the gene reagent in her hands vanished into thin air.

    "What?" rm was stered all over Si Fan¡¯s face. She was a beyond A ss, yet the enemy had been able to easily snatch the gene reagent from her hands?

    "Who is it?" Qian Chen asked with a solemn expression as his killing intent surged. Had this hidden person finally decided to make an appearance? Not far away, a figure wearing in and simple cyan clothing appeared. He had a normal appearance, and his hand was holding Chen Feng¡¯s mystical spatial teleportation gene reagent. Slowly, he walked out of hiding while gazing at them.

 Chapter 570: The Real Mastermind

    Chapter 570: The Real Mastermind

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Heughed lightly. "Interesting."

    Here in this ce where there should be no sound, this lightugh sounded so very loud and clear.

    "Worthy of being Chen Feng indeed. I knew you wouldn¡¯t die easily like that." He gazed at the gene reagent on his hand toyingly. "You have even something like this as your trump card? What a pity. Regardless of how many miracles you can create, I have prepared well in advance."

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly: "..."

    What else could he say? The more miracles he created, the more preparations his enemies would make before making a move against him. Evidently, energy exhaustion was merely the primary n. This enemy had originally nned to let Chen Feng die from exhaustion. When Chen Feng had taken out this "spatial teleporting gene reagent," the enemy had beenpelled to reveal himself. The alternative to the first n was to personally kill Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng looked at that person. "Who are you?" This person felt familiar, yet he was certain he had never met this person before.

    "Ah," that person merely replied with a smile. "Die!" Lightly, he waved his hand. Evidently, he was not nning to give Chen Feng any chance to dy this.

    Qian Chen blocked before Chen Feng. "Scram!"

    Bang!

    Light swirled around, and instantly, Qian Chen was sted away. That¡¯s right. It only took this person an instant to defeat Qian Chen.

    Si Fan looked at him in panic. "You... You..."

    Bang!

    With another sh, Si Fan was sted away as well. The two new beyond A1s werepletely helpless before this person.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Who exactly are you?" Such strength, he should be a beyond A7 at the very least.

    Even if there were a lot of beyond A sses everywhere, most of them were still around beyond A1 or beyond A2. They were still rather far from those true experts in beyond A ss. This person was most definitely one of those experts who had entered beyond A ss long ago.

    That person answered with another smile. "Hehe."

    Bang!

    The terrifying radiance descended, with Chen Feng as the target this time.

    Qian Chen and Si Fan were rmed. "Chen Feng!" They had both been sted quite far away and were not able to assist Chen Feng in time. Moreover, with their strength, they would be no different than cannon fodder even if they arrived in time. They would not make a difference.

    Bang!

    The radiance erupted brightly. Instantly, the dazzling radiance spread all over.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "It¡¯sing?" He could feel the terrifying pressure amid the boundless white. This was the might of an apex expert, and also his final chance... at breaking through!

    "Spirit," Chen Feng urged with a cold gaze.

    "Understood."

    Luck Aura was fully activated.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint aura swirled around. All the remaining energy in Chen Feng¡¯s body bloomed. From the moment he had noticed the existence of an enemy here, all his energy had been hidden away. Only a small portion of his energy had been used to maintain the fake cultivation state he had been in earlier. He still had his original strength. He was sure that this was his one and only chance.

    Even though the enemy had stopped his breakthrough earlier, in order to avoid suspicion, the enemy had still allowed Chen Feng to remain on the verge of breaking through, only stopping him from crossing over that single line. Only a thin line remained between Chen Feng and his breakthrough. He only needed to cross over this thin line and he would most definitely enter beyond A ss.

    As he had been sealed by this enemy, he had been unable to break through this thin line. Now, though, in this final moment where the enemy had the impression that Chen Feng could no longer survive, Chen Feng intended to make use of the enemy¡¯s power to break through this thin line, to break through using that extremely strong pressure and that terrifying might.

    "Come!" Chen Feng howled.

    Bang!

    A terrifying radiance erupted. All of Chen Feng¡¯s energy erupted. At this instant, the entirety of his power bloomed. The shaking radiance at the point of contact caused this sh to appear even more terrifying.

    The hearts of Qian Chen and Si Fan chilled as they saw this. It¡¯s over. They had never expected that an enemy so terrifying would appear here while they were training. This time, Chen Feng¡¯s death was already assured. At present, the both of them were perhaps worrying about their fates instead.

    Hum¡ª

    The faint radiancended. Yet when they looked over, they nked. At this time, they noticed that Chen Feng, who was supposed to be dead, was still standing there. All around his body, a faint radiance swirled. The feeble power surrounding him had be furious and fierce.

    Beyond A ss!

    That was the power of beyond A ss. Chen Feng had actually broken through during the crucial moment.

    "How powerful."

    Qian Chen gazed at Si Fan nkly. They exchanged nces, indescribable rm in their eyes. Chen Feng had actually entered beyond A ss. Moreover, Chen Feng¡¯s beyond A ss seemed even more terrifying than they had imagined. He was actually capable of blocking the power that had been capable of instantly sting them away.

    The enemy looked at Chen Feng with shock in his eyes as well. "You..." He was still shocked even though he had already been aware that Chen Feng was good at creating miracles. When that person had drawn up numerous strategies to deal with Chen Feng, he had viewed them all with disdain, believing that he could easily kill someone like Chen Feng with a single p.

    Now, he became speechless. Both his ns had been stopped by Chen Feng. This Chen Feng fellow was much more terrifying than they had estimated. Moreover, his luck was too astonishingly good. However, this should be the most he could do.

    He looked at Chen Feng coldly. "Even if you have broken through, so what?" The breakthrough had indeed exceeded his expectations. However, a beyond A ss that had only recently broken through was simply not a match for him.

    Bang!

    He took a step forward as a terrifying radiance swirled around him. "Today, I will most definitely kill you." His killing intent locked onto Chen Feng.

    "Is that so?" Chen Feng looked at him toyingly. "Are you sure that you can kill me for real?"

    Shua!

    Chen Feng took out something from his bosom. Mhm... it was another spatial teleportation gene reagent.

    Chen Feng sneered. "Are you stupid enough to believe that I only had one of this on me?" Silently, he took a step back. The anxious Qian Chen and Si Fan came over. The three of them fixed their gazes on this enemy, despite the fact that they seemed so powerless before such an opponent.

    "Sorry. I have no intention of fighting you at all," Chen Feng stated proudly. "Since I have already broken through sessfully, hehe, goodbye."

    Chen Feng was about to leave.

    Suddenly, that person asked, "Don¡¯t you want to know who I am?"

    "..." Chen Feng stopped the activation of his gene reagent and narrowed his eyes. "Who are you?"

    "Hehe." That person smiled calmly. "We met once. However, at that time, I was as dazzling as a deity and you failed to get a clear look at my appearance," that person said tly. Slowly, the radiance around him intensified, even more so the radiance on his forehead. There, a single dot of light was shining dazzlingly, and slowly, the radiance coalesced into a diamond-shaped object. Finally, all the swirling radiance faded. Standing there, he seemed to be bathed in a white light. On his head was a white crown, and on his forehead was a flickering white diamond.

    "It¡¯s you!" Chen Feng cried out in rm. Master Mu, the master of that fanatical religion. He was a self-proimed god, the founder of a certain religion, and that white hat was his crown. Indeed. The ancient race was the one trying to kill him?

    Chen Feng tightened his grip on the teleporting gene reagent. "You won¡¯t be able to stop me."

    "Of course I can¡¯t stop you."

    Master Mu looked at him with a wide smile, "However, do you know how many believers I have?"

    What?

    Chen Feng had a vague feeling of unease.

    Whoosh!

    A killing intent streaked at him from behind him. Chen Feng leaped, trying to dodge the attack.

    Pu!

    Blood sttered around. Qian Chen, who should have been protecting Chen Feng, could be seen pulling his hand back. As for Si Fan, her hand was holding the teleporting gene reagent she had just grabbed from Chen Feng.

    "You two..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled. He was aware that the ancient race had made numerous preparations. That was the reason he had used the so-called "spatial teleporting gene reagent" to force Master Mu to reveal all his trump cards. Unexpectedly, this was a truly huge trap.

    Chapter 571: This Guy Is a Walking Disaster

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the Gic Union.

    The deputy president was looking at the data in front of him with a solemn expression. They had no intention of contacting Chen Feng and interrupting the training session. However, to be safe and maintain contact, they had been sending data packets without stop to Chen Feng¡¯s wristband. These data packets had no substantive usage. They were merely being sent to receive a response.

    With each request sent, a response would be received. That was all.

    Di! Di!

    The requests and responses matched each other without stop. Every single request they sent was answered with a response.

    "Seems like they are in serious training," the deputy president muttered. He felt like he was the one with the most bitter of lives. When Chen Feng had been at the Gic Union, the deputy president had had to constantly worry about that fellow annexing the Gic Union. Now that Chen Feng was out training, deputy president still needed to worry about any dangers that might befall him. This was the vision of the bigger picture someone at his position needed to have. However, the deputy president had been feeling that something was off. He frowned. "Am I merely unhappy after falling for Chen Feng¡¯s scam?¡¯

    "Don¡¯t worry." By his side, someoneforted him. "Qian Chen and Si Fan are there as well. Both of these children are peak beyond B sses, and they are among those with the greatest future in our Gic Union. With them, Chen Feng will be safe."

    "Hopefully so." The unease in deputy president¡¯s heart was extremely intense. Qian Chen... Si Fan... Suddenly, the deputy president thought of something. "Give me the information on both of them."

    Shua!

    The information was shown. When the deputy president read about their strength, a trace of praise appeared in his eyes. The two of them were indeed geniuses. However, when the deputy president¡¯s gazended on the records of their past experiences...

    Every single person would have a lot of recorded information about them. As members of the Gic Union, almost every update of their profile would involve the inclusion of several thousand records detailing the new missions these members had undertaken since thest update. When all of these were added up together, it could reach even several hundred thousand records. The deputy president skimmed past the records at high speed before suddenly stopping on a certain record.

    ----

    On a certain day, contact with Qian Chen was lost at coordinate ***. Thissted five minutes. It might be due to enemy interference.

    ----

    Something like a lost signal, especially during a mission, was in fact a verymon urrence. After all, things like enemy interference or even a mere battle could cause the signal to be lost. They had long been ustomed to this. Besides, this particr record was detailing a mission from a very long time ago.

    What roused the deputy president¡¯s curiosity wasn¡¯t the date of the incident; rather, it was the location of this incident. This record was something from a long time ago. As such, nobody had noticed it. However, subsequently, when some incident happened at that same ce, it was recorded down. These were the coordinates of the destroyed headquarters of the Mysterious Organization.

    "Therefore, Qian Chen lost contact with us at this ce for five minutes?"

    The deputy president contemted. An ident? Or a coincidence?

    Shua!

    He opened the records for Si Fan¡¯s battle history. This time, he utilized the filtering function to directly search for what he wanted. With astonishment, the same thing had happened to Si Fan as well. She had simrly lost contact with the Union for several minutes here.

    The deputy president¡¯s expression sank. "Damn it." If it were only one person, it might be a mere coincidence. But if it was two of them...

    "Contact Chen Feng," the deputy president stated abruptly.

    "Oh, he might be in the midst of training," the technician reminded him in a low voice. They had been sending only data packets to Chen Feng, never disturbing him.

    "Contact him immediately! Transmit the highest-tier warning," the deputy president spat gravely. He did not feel like providing an exnation.

    "Yes." The employee immediately did as he had been told. s, nothing happened. Even though all their data packets were still receiving responses as usual, Chen Feng oddly did not reply to them, as if he was too busy for them.

    "Something has happened!" The deputy president¡¯s heart thumped. "Send reinforcements to the Ownerless Land immediately. Get all the experts we have near the Ownerless Land to head there directly."

    Di! Di!

    The entire Gic Union started bustling with activity. An unsightly expression was on the deputy president¡¯s face. He sincerely hoped that he was mistaken this time. Chen Feng...

    He sighed. This guy was akin to a walking cmity. Wherever he went, mishaps followed. He hereby vowed that when Chen Feng returned, even if he needed to tie Chen Feng up, he would do it to ensure Chen Feng stopped going out looking for death. But then, suddenly, the deputy president recalled how Chen Feng¡¯s present authority had surpassed even his own.

    "What bullshit is this?"

    His head ached. He prayed that nothing bad had happened.

    s, the reinforcements near the Ownerless Land indeed rushed over, yet there were no replies whatsoever. The Ownerless Land, which was originally a human territory, had seemingly transformed into a ck hole, a ck hole devouring all information and energy.

    Presently, at the depths of the Ownerless Land, Chen Feng¡¯s astonished expression slowly became cold. "It¡¯s actually you guys."

    He had never imagined that the two who had been constantly helping him throughout the trip were actually puppets of the ancient race, believers of the White Religion. Even Luck Aura had failed to detect their malice toward him. No, that wasn¡¯t right. If they truly harbored malice, Luck Aura would not have failed to detect it.

    Chen Feng looked at them. "You two..."

    "Sorry." Qian Chen was still speaking as coldly as usual. "I was indeed genuine and sincere when helping you. If it was a different enemy or the devil race, I would most definitely help you. However... I am truly sorry." He looked at Master Mu, his gaze bing fanatical as he continued, "It is my honor to have the chance to serve the White Church."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He gained a rough idea of the truth. Rather than puppets or controlling them, this was pure brainwashing. He had personally witnessed how terrifying the brainwashing process of the Mysterious Organization was. On regr days, those brainwashed would behave normally. Only when it pertained to the White Church would they suddenly be fanatical. Using their words, this was the so-called "faith."

    Chen Feng looked at the gentle youngdy Si Fan and saw her present the gene reagent to Master Mu deferentially before prostrating in a fanatical and emotional fashion. "Greetings, Master Mu."

    Master Mu stood there loftily.

    Finally, Chen Feng understood. "You have both been brainwashed..."

    Spirit faithfully analyzed the situation for Chen Feng. "It seems like they encountered this Master Mu before when on a mission. During the encounter, rather than killing them, Master Mu brainwashed them and then allowed them to return, waiting for the day when they would finally be needed, such as right now."

    "Well done." Master Mo caressed Si Fan¡¯s face and said, "You are very obedient." He gave Qian Chen a nce. "The same for you."

    "Thank you." With fanatical gazes, the both of them stood beside Master Mu emotionally. Evidently, receiving such praise was an utmost honor for the both of them.

    "Now." Master Mu looked at Chen Feng. "What else can you do? Do you have other spatial teleporting gene reagents?"

    "Master," Si Fan stated deferentially. "I checked him earlier. He no longer has any."

    Master Muughed heartily. "Hahaha. Not bad. Not bad, indeed."

    Chen Feng sighed. "So... this is your third n for me?"

    Master Mu smiled cruelly. "Of course."

    He was rejoicing in the fact that his junior apprentice brother had helped arranged all this thoroughly for him beforeing. Qian Chen and Si Fan were obviously his third n to deal with Chen Feng, their role being purely to prevent Chen Feng¡¯s escape rather than to kill him.

    Finally, this Chen Feng, who had escaped them numerous times, who had even killed his apprentice brothers, had been forced to an impasse. This time, escape seemed impossible for him. s, just as Master Mu was about to finish this...

    Suddenly, the diamond on his forehead flickered rapidly. Next, he staggered and nearly slumped down to the ground.

    Chapter 572: Bring It On!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Qian Chen supported him hastily. "Lord."

    Damn it! Master Mu¡¯s expression sank. That was an rm sent to him from his White Church.

    Shua!

    He waved his hand. A huge screen appeared in midair. Within were the scenes ying out at the White Church. There, a mysterious person had appeared midair and was presently killing everything around him.

    Bang! Bang!

    The entire church cracked as those formidable believers were killed without any chance to even fight back.

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "You finally arrived." Even though the energy, aura, and appearance of that person had been disguised, Chen Feng was still able to recognize him. This was precisely Qin Hai. He had indeed received Chen Feng¡¯s signal. Since this Master Mu had prepared numerous ns just to kill Chen Feng and someone was scheming for him behind the scenes, this Ownerless Land should have already fallen into enemy hands.

    As such, even if Qin Hai were toe here, he would most probably fail to rescue Chen Feng. In that case, they might as well force this Master Mu to return instead. With that, Chen Feng would be able to obtain additional time, and with the gained time, perhaps he would be able to discover a lifeline. His expression calm, Chen Feng analyzed everything that was happening.

    Master Mu looked at Chen Feng. "It¡¯s you!" He had obviously interfered with Chen Feng¡¯smunicator!

    Chen Feng sneered. "Interference." Blocking? Interference? What a joke. Whatever Master Mu had used, it was only capable of interfering with Chen Feng¡¯smunicator. However, how could it hope to interfere with Chen Feng? As long as he wished, with a little luck value, he could even use the wind to shape the clouds above the sky to send a message for him. How naive! Do you think that my method of calling for help is as unreliable as your ancient race¡¯s drop drop beatdown?

    "Hehe." Chen Feng smiled calmly. "Tsk tsk. O great Master Mu, have you ever thought that while you are hunting, you are also prey at the same time?"

    Pu! Pu!

    The mysterious man moved once again. Once again, countless members of the White Church died.

    That mysterious man was too powerful. Even those beyond-A-ss experts of the White Church were not his match. They were of twopletely different leagues.

    "Lord..."

    Countless believers knelt on the ground, calling out for Master Mu to return. He was the only person capable of stopping this ughter.

    Master Mu¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "I am going to kill you!"

    Shua!

    His killing intent surged as he charged at Chen Feng. s, right at this instant, on the screen, the mysterious man had already reached the inner areas of the White Church. There, Master Mu¡¯s children were presently hidden in the room in fear.

    Master Mu¡¯s eyes widened. "No!"

    Chen Feng sneered. "Return fast. Since your White Church specializes in faith summoning, I¡¯m sure you have a method of instant teleportation back there, right?"

    Master Mu was furious. "You are courting death!" He could naturally return instantly. However, that was because the White Church was his main base. After returning, if he wanted toe here again, it wouldn¡¯t be so easy. If he left, Chen Feng would certainly be able to escape. This was something he could not ept. Moreover, he had been alive for so many years, yet nobody had ever dared to threaten him.

    Suddenly, Master Mu shut his eyes. "You have no idea what you are doing."

    Shua!

    Suddenly, the screen vanished.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. Huh?

    Hum¡ª

    Once again, the diamond on Master Mu¡¯s forehead gleamed. This time, the scenes of the White Church were not shown. Rather, a mysterious yet resplendent white radiance appeared. This white radiance was obviously somewhat different than normal the white radiance.

    Hum¡ª

    The white radiance spread out. Stepping across millions of kilometer, the white ray returned to the White Church instantly.

    Shua!

    Next, everything in the White Church started to slow down. Master Mu had actually slowed the flow of time in the White Church with his own power. After doing this, Master Mu¡¯s face dimmed. He had been able to obtain an additional one second for himself, which would be sufficient to do what he wanted.

    "Kill!" Master Mu spat. At this instant, the entire world seemed to start transforming. With an ice-cold expression, Master Mu continued, "I will most certainly return. However, I will still be able to kill you before leaving. I only need a split second to kill you."

    Bang!

    Swirling radiance shed around Master Mu¡¯s hands.

    This threat of Chen Feng using his children had truly angered him. It was time to let this idiotic human experience how terrifying the supreme power of the ancient race could be. Master Mu erupted.

    "Kill!"

    His attack descended. This time, alongside him, Qian Chen and Si Fan attacked together as well. The three of them surrounded Chen Feng, forcing Chen Feng to his death.

    Bang!

    Terrifying attacks poured down upon Chen Feng.

    "Just end this..." A trace of regret was apparent in Qian Chen¡¯s eyes. At the same time, his eyes were also filled with resoluteness. They were a part of the great White Church. Even if it was somewhat of a pity for Chen Feng to die, they trusted the White Church to bring them all into a new era.

    Holy shit! Not willing to return even with this? Chen Feng was stupefied. Do you think you are HKE?[1] 1 Are you not afraid of Divine Protector Ox?[2] 2

    Hu¡ª

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. Since he couldn¡¯t force this fellow to return, he could only fight with his all.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng stretched his hand out. "God! Punisher!"

    Bang!

    A terrifying attack erupted.

    A sneer appeared on Si Fan¡¯s face. "Ridiculous." This ability again? Indeed, this Chen Feng fellow had exhausted everything he had. This God Punisher of Chen Feng¡¯s had already gone through numerous studies. Even though it was powerful, its might would only increase after the number of abilities released increased. From what she remembered, the might would only increase by 1% after each released ability? This signified that even if the sequence was changed and the strongest ability was released first, it wouldn¡¯t be too powerful.

    When Chen Feng had done this previously, it had been against a weak opponent. That was the only reason the ability had been able to defeat the opponent even without going through the amplification. Now that he was facing the attack of a beyond A9, what was the point? She was sure that this attack of Chen Feng¡¯s would most certainly be crushed after colliding with their attacks.

    Shua!

    White radiance bloomed from Chen Feng¡¯s hand. The radiance of God Punisher erupted and collided with their attacks.

    Bang!

    The radiance around the point of collision intensified.

    "Come!"

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was resolute. Did these people believe that this God Punisher was still the same as the God Punisher from back then? As his strength had increased, as he¡¯d entered beyond A1, the release speed of God Punisher had increased by more than tenfold. The speed of ability condensation had increased by at least tenfold as well. The previous God Punisher had required one minute to reach the final ability and erupt with the strongest attack, but now, only five seconds were needed. Naturally, Master Mu¡¯s attack would arrive instantly, not giving Chen Feng even five seconds of time.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng waved his right hand downward slowly.

    First second: Time Quicksand!

    Shua!

    Instantly, one second vanished. The God Punisher that had just started releasing was abruptly amplified by an uncountable number of times. This was God Punisher where the first second of amplifications had been entirely skipped by Chen Feng with his Time Quicksand. However, this was still far from enough to deal with Master Mu. After manually releasing Time Quicksand, without hesitation, he altered the sequence of God Punisher¡¯s ability release and released the Time Quicksand contained within God Punisher immediately after the manual release.[3] 3

    God Punisher: Unleash all abilities the user has previously used.

    In the second second, Time Quicksand was released.

    Shua!

    Once again, time moved forward for God Punisher. Suddenly, the radiance of the God Punisher in Chen Feng¡¯s hands intensified to a terrifying level. In the mere two seconds he had skipped with Time Quicksand, his God Punisher had skipped past numerous abilities, going through numerous amplifications. At this instant, he began releasing all the spirit arts from the Spirit Developer tform he had tried. All those spirit arts with weak time capabilities were unleashed together.

    Time skipped: 0.1 seconds.

    Time skipped: 0.2 seconds.

    Time skipped: 0.3 seconds.

    Time skipped: 0.1 seconds.

    Time skipped: 0.1 seconds.

    ...

    The five seconds required for Chen Feng to reach the peak amplification of his God Punisher were entirely skipped through in this manner. Instantly, God Punisher reached the end stage. The final few abilities, which were also the strongest in Chen Feng¡¯s arsenal, were waiting to be released.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. Well then, let¡¯s end this.

    Xiu!

    A terrifying radiance bloomed. After the five-second time skip, this God Punisher had gone through numerous amplifications and been boosted by numerous support abilities. Once again, Chen Feng¡¯s strongest Nethergaze disyed its astonishing might.

    Bang!

    The red shone dazzlingly. A boundless radiance erupted. The entire world was covered by a scorching red. After a long time, when the night sky returned, and everyone there trembled.

    "How is this possible?"

    This was the first time Master Mu had cried out in rm. Chen Feng had been injured. All his veins had burst apart, his blood drenching his clothes red. However, Chen Feng had still survived! He had survived thebined attack of a peak beyond A9 and two beyond A1 warriors.

    Pu!

    A slight feeling of pain arose from Master Mu¡¯s chest. He rubbed his chest with his hands and noted that both his hands were dyed red with blood. He had actually been injured as well. Only now did he realize with shock that he, Qian Chen, and Si Fan were all drenched in blood. All three of them had suffered simr injuries to Chen Feng. They had actually been evenly matched in the collision earlier. Master Mu¡¯s pupils shrunk as he realized that.

    Chen Feng had actually evenly matched that scary attack from them earlier. How was that possible? This... all three of them were stunned. Draw! This was a result far exceeding their expectations.

    "Hehe." With blood all over his face, Chen Feng stated coldly, "Beyond A9? Nothing much after all."

    Shua!

    The silence became stifling. They had never expected that this would be the result. Chen Feng¡¯s God Punisher, which required a cast time, was actually capable of erupting with such power instantaneously as well. Chen Feng was already this powerful after a while of not seeing him? They were all shaken. Suddenly...

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    A crack appeared on the diamond on Master Mu¡¯s forehead.

    Shua!

    His expression changed.

    Xiu!

    Light swirled, and instantly, he vanished. He had exhausted all he could just to deliver this single fatal attack to Chen Feng. Even if Chen Feng was still alive, it was unlikely that he couldst any longer. s...

    From amid the sh of light where Master Mu had vanished, a voice filled with killing intent drifted out.

    "I will leave Chen Feng to the both of you. Without God Punisher and with all his energy exhausted, he is no different than a cripple. Now, kill him!"

    The voice vanished. The gazes of Qian Chen and Si Fannded on Chen Feng. Indeed. Now that Chen Feng had already used his God Punisher, he was no different from a cripple. When such an excessively powerful ability like God Punisher was used, if the user failed to kill the opponent, it would signify the death of the user instead.

    They took a step forward. "Sorry."

    "You guys..." Chen Feng chuckled. With his blood-drenched face, his chuckle seemed rather horrifying. "Do you really think that I no longer have other trump cards?" he asked toyingly.

    Their expressions changed greatly. "That is not possible. The requirement for the God Punisher is obviously the exhaustion of all the user¡¯s energy."

    "How naive." Chen Feng¡¯s expression became sinister. "The actual duration of God Punisher is much longer. How long did I take to release the previous God Punisher? Naturally, the full release would require all my energy. However, you guys are only aware of God Punisher. Are you aware that if Time Quicksand is used inversely, time will flow backward? Are you guys aware that all the energy I used during that one second of eruption recovered to the level one second prior to that?" Chen Feng asked with a toying smile.

    Shua!

    His hand raised, a red radiance started condensing in his hand. That was a huge red weapon exuding a beyond-A-ss aura.

    Bang!

    Qian Chen was utterly dumbstruck. This weapon... it was actually an energy weapon! And indeed, on this weapon lingered the aura of a beyond A ss, an aura much more powerful than even he and Si Fan. This Chen Feng fellow had indeed recovered to his level from one second prior, recovered to his peak condition!

    "Do you know? Compared to that little white hat guy, my hatred for you guys is deeper..." Chen Feng mumbled. "Enemies are not what¡¯s scary. What¡¯s scary will always be traitors. The two of you, hehe, enjoy your time in hell!"

    Bang!

    The red shone intensely. The red weapon in Chen Feng¡¯s hand started shining with a terrifying radiance.

    Damn it!

    Qian Chen and Si Fan shivered. They recalled how during the final eruption of Chen Feng¡¯s God Punisher earlier, it had precisely been an ability with a red radiance that had defeated all three of them, including Master Mu. And now... Master Mu was no longer here. Could both of them, new beyond A1 warriors, truly defend against this attack?

    They gulped, and for the very first time, they lost their calm.

    Bang!

    With wide strides, Chen Feng walked toward them. Qian Chen and Si Fan exchanged nces before looking at the gene reagents they were holding. Yes, they could still use the spatial teleporting gene reagents!

    "Run!"

    They made an immediate decision to first leave here before deciding on their next course of action.

    Pop!

    Without hesitation, they activated the gene reagents with all their power. They stood together, braced for the teleportation. Neither of them noticed the odd expression on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    Bang!

    Suddenly, a terrifying energy erupted and swept everywhere. Qian Chen and Si Fan¡¯s eyes widened. With an unbelieving expression, they gazed at the exploding "spatial teleporting gene reagents" in their hands. Suddenly, they realized something. This gene reagent...

    Shua!

    They raised their heads. The energy weapon in Chen Feng¡¯s hand had already vanished. With a kind expression, Chen Feng waved at them.

    Pu!

    Blood sttered everywhere before the both of them turned into nothingness. This two gene reagents weren¡¯t particrly powerful. Fortunately, they had been right in the hands of those two when they¡¯d exploded. Moreover, the two hadn¡¯t activated any defenses against the explosion.

    Mhm...

    Perfect.

    Chen Feng waved with a wide grin on his face. "Enjoy your journey to the underworld." Spatial teleporting gene reagent? Hehe, you guys actually bought that? If I truly had something like that, why would I have wasted so much time with you guys here? I would have escaped long ago.

    Shortly after seeing the two off, Chen Feng slumped down onto the ground weakly. His energy had been excessively overexerted. The energy sword in his hand softened and started swirling around Chen Feng¡¯s body. Without a doubt, this sword was actually Xiao Ying.

    "Seems like your only use is to scare others nowadays," Chen Fengmented. The enemies he faced nowadays were too powerful. As such, the only roles Xiao Ying could y were scaring others and acting as a scout.

    Hold on. Xiao Ying had another ability, the ability to summon the showering sister... Chen Feng thought about it and decided to give up on such a death-courting thought.

    Hu¡ª

    He heaved a long sigh of relief. After a short rest, he crawled up with great difficulty. This ce was too unique. As such, his energy would not recover at all. If he did not leave now, he would most probably die from energy exhaustion alone, even though he was now a beyond A ss.

    "Time to leave."

    He stood up. Beyond his expectations, he had only walked a short distance before he was once again surrounded by a bunch of ancient race members. These fellows had been here waiting for him for a long time.

    "Master Mu said that you might survive. Surprisingly, you have indeed survived. Hehe. Those two fellows are indeed useless. Did I not say that humans arepletely unreliable? Now then..."

    Bang!

    Numerous attacks erupted.

    Shit!

    This was the only thought that surfaced in Chen Feng¡¯s brain. In his present situation, he was truly incapable of doing anything. If he stayed in the Ownerless Land, he would be exhausted to death. Now that he was leaving, he was surrounded by enemies instead. What could the present him, with all of his energy exhausted, do to deal with this?

 Chapter 574: New World

    Chapter 574: New World

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Spirit..." Chen Feng urged inwardly.

    Spirit nodded obediently. "Understood."

    Shua! Shua!

    Numerousyers of killing intent erupted as various terrifying streaks neared Chen Feng. The only thing he could do now was spam his luck value. s, right as Spirit was about to activate Luck Aura, suddenly, a ck shadow shed past. Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s weakened body was knocked flying away.

    ??

    Chen Feng was dumbstruck. What was going on this time?

    Shua!

    Before he could even do anything, numerous swirling radiances of multiple colors shed before his eyes. Chen Feng could only feel a powerful force dragging him before he lost all perception.

    At this moment, in the Ownerless Land, the ancient experts were watching on with nk expressions as well. Where Chen Feng had stood before was nowpletely empty. That ck sh had streaked past and Chen Feng had vanished.

    "Where is he?"

    "No idea."

    "Are you all blind?"

    The ancient experts were furious. After a long time, when Master Mu returned, his expression became ashen as he heard what had happened. When he had returned to the White Church, that mysterious person already departed. That expert hadn¡¯t waited around to meet him at all. As such, he had taken a trip for nothing. Now that he had returned here, Chen Feng was gone as well. Just like that, an adult had vanished into thin air.

    "There are some traces of spatial power here." Suddenly, Master Mu recalled Chen Feng¡¯s spatial teleporting gene reagent from earlier. Chen Feng had to have used that gene reagent. This Chen Feng fellow had to have kept one more behind as a trump card. Even though Si Fan had failed to detect it, with Chen Feng¡¯s capabilities, it wasn¡¯t odd for him to have been able to hide one from Si Fan.

    "Chase!" Master Mu ordered without hesitation. He gathered all of them together before activating the spatial teleporting gene reagent he had grabbed from Chen Feng earlier.

    Bang!

    Instantly, a terrifying explosion erupted. Bloody chunks of flesh flew everywhere.

    Master Mu was dumbstruck. "???"

    The ancient experts that had still been alive and well earlier were now all chunks of meat. Master Mu was the only one left alive. He rubbed his face and discovered that he seemed to have sustained injuries as well. This spatial teleporting gene reagent was a freaking fake? Master Mu¡¯s body chilled. He gazed at a certain skull that was flying toward him. Mhm, only half the head remained. This was the head of one of the ancients that had reinforced him earlier. He recalled that this fellow was the son of his junior apprentice brother. How was he supposed to answer to his junior apprentice brother?

    A mournful scream echoed through the air. "Chen Feng!"

    **

    At the same time, at a certain unknown location, Chen Feng woke up from the darkness. He could vaguely recall that during that final moment, he had felt some sort of warmth around his body, like someone had been embracing him. That familiar feeling... Chen Feng raised his head. A face capable of giving children nightmares entered his sight.

    Kong Bai looked at him with a smile. "Heh, you¡¯re awake?"

    "..." Chen Feng retracted his hand that had instinctively prepared to attack. This face was so ugly at the first nce that he had thought that this was someone from the devil race.

    "You rescued me?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.

    "What else?" Kong Bai curled his lip. "Anyway, at that time, I was peeing. When I saw my pee that was supposed to shoot forth over 30 meters distort and form an ¡¯SOS¡¯ shape, I knew something must have happened to you."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    "Therefore, this lord here locked onto your aura and transmigrated over there to rescue you," Kong Bai stated proudly.

    Chen Feng was rmed. "Transmigration?"

    Kong Bai looked at him with an odd gaze. "Of course. How else am I supposed to get there? Spatial abilities? What kind of joke is that? Do you have any idea how many ancients were guarding the Ownerless Land? If I dared teleport there directly, I would have been killed long ago. As such, I had no choice but to transmigrate over."

    "Where are we now, then?" Chen Feng looked around. The environment looked rather unique. It seemed to be a ce he had never been to. He raised his head and noted that even the stars in the sky looked somewhat different. Even the moon wasn¡¯t white. Rather, the moon was an icy-blue color. What damnable ce was this?

    Kong Bai looked at him with a solemn expression. "How am I supposed to know that?"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Suddenly, Chen Feng recalled that Kong Bai had once mentioned that he had once tried transmigrating numerous times, wasting arge number of years before he was able to return to the Gic Era. In short, this time...

    "Spirit, is there any luck value left?" Chen Feng asked hastily. They had been able to easily return during their previous transmigration thanks to thebination of Kong Bai¡¯s ability and Chen Feng¡¯s luck value. However, the further they had transmigrated, the more luck value they would need to transmigrate back. Therefore...

    "Please wait a moment." Spirit took a nce and said, "You have three luck value left."

    Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. He had nearly exhausted his supply of luck value when trying to save himself earlier. This time, things were getting troublesome. He looked at the fellow beside him and sighed. Even if it had been Wang Yao instead of this person who had rescued him, wouldn¡¯t it be better?

    Spirit shook her head decisively. "That¡¯s not possible. Wang Yao was too far away and couldn¡¯t be reached in time. Furthermore, the experts of the ancient race were heading over there as well. Even if Wang Yao arrived, it wouldn¡¯t have helped. Moreover, your luck value was rather limited as well. In that situation, only Kong Bai could save you. That was already the most optimal choice."

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. Fine. Let¡¯s first look around.

    "What do you normally do after transmigrating?" Chen Feng asked Kong Bai. This fellow should be experienced in this.

    "Oh, I normally gather information about the new ce." Kong Bai scratched his head. "I first disguise myself as a monster or a freak before going out to cause disturbances. Then I¡¯ll vanish and reappear using a brand new identity that fits the culture of that world. Naturally, at times, the world I arrive in is one where there is no culture, only primitives or beasts."

    "..."

    Chen Feng felt helpless. This guy obviously had a tendency to act rashly.

    "Let me give it a try?" Kong Bai was eager. Since he had returned to the Gic Erast time, it had been a while since he hadst transmigrated. He had been afraid that after once again transmigrating away, he wouldn¡¯t be able to return. Now, though, with Chen Feng around, he wasn¡¯t as stressed.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "There¡¯s no need for that."

    Shua!

    A red sh streaked out of his hand. Instantly, Xiao Ying vanished.

    "Huh? It¡¯s that snake capable of hardening up?" Kong Bai eximed in admiration. He clearly remembered how, several times in the past, Chen Feng had used the hardened version of this snake to act tough during fights.

    "..." Chen Feng¡¯s face darkened. Could he use a different term than "harden"?

    Kong Bai realized his fault and coughed awkwardly.

    When "snake" and "harden" were used separately, it sounded right. However, when used together...mhm... It was capable of sparking colorful imaginings.

    Shua!

    With a sh, Xiao Ying returned. The scenes scouted out by Xiao Ying appeared in Chen Feng¡¯s brain. However, surprising Chen Feng, within a circumference of 50 kilometers around them, not a single life-form could be found. There were no animals or vegetations. This seemed somewhat odd. This ce obviously had an environment suitable for life. The air...

    Shua!

    He transmitted what he had seen to Kong Bai. As Kong Bai saw the scenes, his expression became unsightly. Based on his years of experience transmigrating, such a unique situation signified only one thing: this was a ce where no life forms existed yet, a newly formed world in its most primal form.

    "In short, we have transmigrated to a newborn world?" Kong Bao howled in grief.

    Chen Feng patted his shoulder. "Congrattions. Humanity¡¯s dream since countless years ago, of searching for a habitable, has been realized by you."

    Kong Bai did not know whether tough or cry. Indeed, this was habitable for humans. However, the thing was that they couldn¡¯t return either. It was quite possible they might even starve to death here before Chen Feng could recover.

    Kong Bai gazed at Chen Feng passionately. "How long do you need to recover?" In such a circumstance, only Chen Feng¡¯s Luck Aura could bring them back.

    "Please wait a moment." Chen Feng asked Spirit the same question.

    "700 luck value," answered Spirit after her calctions. "This is the most basic consumption to return to the gic era with Kong Bai¡¯s ability. This amount does not consider the numerous mishaps or idents that might arise. I would rmend you save more luck value before even attempting to return."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. "700?" At present, only a single month was left before the ancient race conquered the entire world. Based on his recovery rate of 24 luck value per day, he would require one month to obtain 700 luck value. This also signified that from today onward, he could no longer use any luck value, not even a single point. Only by doing this would it be possible for them to return in one month.

    The moment he started using his luck value, by using a tiny bit here and there asionally, he would probably fail to return even after the ancient race had eliminated all of humanity. This was the scariest prospect.

    "One month!?" Kong Bai wailed. Even with the physical body of a beyond A ss, they might still starve to death after going without food for an entire month. Just as they were discussing possible solutions for their present situation, suddenly, red light zed in Chen Feng¡¯s illusory world as the sound of rm resounded. Danger detected!

    Shua!

    One luck value exhausted. Chen Feng¡¯s pitiful three luck value had been reduced once again. His rm system had activated to give him a warning in advance.

    Chen Feng¡¯s face darkened. "Damn it." He was so numb to the normal activation of his rm system that he had forgotten that it was not possible for this rm system to work without luck value.

    "If you want to return in a month, I suggest the closure of your luck rm system," Spirit proposed.

    Chen Feng sighed. "Shut it down, then." It seemed like he could only rely on himself for this one month.

    If he exhausted his luck value and couldn¡¯t return on time, only death would await. If he decided to not use his luck value and were to encounter danger here, death was still what would await him. Well then, he would have to see for himself what danger this had. Chen Feng increased his vignce.

    The luck rm system was something that provided a warning in advance. As such, they had yet to see the supposed danger. Chen Feng was rather curious; what danger could there be in this ce without any life-forms? Environmental factors? A volcanic eruption? Chen Feng¡¯s concentrated his mental senses. Right at this instant, a ck sh charged at them for far away.

    Xiu!

    The cold ray bloomed.

    "Careful!" Without any hesitation, Chen Feng pulled Kong Bai with him as they dodged.

    Bang!

    A thick and sturdy huge ck tree brushed past them before smashing into the thicket behind them. The terrifying attack left numerous long cracks on the ground. A tree? Both of them nked.

    ??

    There were trees here? Just as they were feeling doubtful, a lot of vegetation appeared all over the barrennd around them. Starting from their immediate surroundings, the vegetation spread everywhere until all they could see was vegetation. Suddenly, this destend had transformed into a forest.

    "Holy shit," Kong Bai eximed in admiration. "What in the world is this?"

    He had transmigrated numerous times, yet this was his first time seeing something so mystical. Vegetation? Where had ite from? They had obviously not found any while scouting earlier. Underground? Kong Bai looked questioningly at Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "The underground was inspected as well. Xiao Ying is capable of full environmental scouting. Even under the ground was checked."

    "Then, this ce..." Their expressions became solemn. What damnable world was this, exactly?

    Suddenly, Chen Feng heightened his vignce. "Be more careful."

    "Understood." Kong Bai concealed his aura rapidly. The both of them were experiencedbatants. As such, they were well aware of how they should conceal themselves when in such an unfamiliar world and strange era.

    Xiu! Xiu!

    Just as the two of them were feeling curious, numerous cold gleams of light appeared from amid the darkness. Two huge trees pierced through space and shot toward them from far away.

    Shua!

    The two of them were able to easily dodge the attack. With their present strength, it was rather easy for them to dodge such an attack. However, this seemed to be a mere prequel to what was toe. Subsequently, numerous weird attacks suddenly appeared. From underground, twining weeds might abruptly appear. From above, the sky might suddenly rain down a lot of vegetation upon them. As for in front of, behind, to the left, or to the right of them, attacks mighte from any direction.

    Chen Feng was rmed. "What damnable ce is this?" There were no people or beasts, only never-ending attacks.

    Kong Bai had a stupefied expression on his face. "No idea," he said. He had transmigrated so many times before, yet he had never seen such a weird ce, a ce where a forest would appear out of thin air, where attacks would appear out of nowhere.

    Bang! Bang!

    The attacks were increasing in strength. Initially, the attacks had only been at the strength of F ss. Slowly, they had increased to E ss, D ss, and so on until now, when they reached A ss. The strength of the attacks here seemed capable increasing without limit. As they were about to fail tost, the attacks suddenly halted. All the trees, weeds, and everything else seemed to suddenly be obedient.

    "St-stopped?" Kong Bai asked as he panted.

    "I guess so." Chen Feng had a calm expression. He kept feeling like something did not seem right with this world...

    Shua!

    With a red sh, Xiao Ying returned. Earlier, Xiao Ying had been scouting around without stop for him so that he could see these attacksing in advance. Only with that had they managed to forcefully survive the seemingly unstoppable attacks. Now that Xiao Ying had returned, everything he had seen earlier was reyed in Chen Feng¡¯s mind. As Chen Feng saw the scenes, he was rmed.

    This...

    Light swirled around. From the scenes Xiao Ying had witnessed, Chen Feng could clearly see that those things had indeed appeared out of thin air. Flowers, grass, trees, everything here, including the attacks, had all appeared out of thin air.

    Were those actually fake? Illusions?

    Shua!

    Chen Feng pulled at a random tree. The intense pulling force he felt from his hand confirmed that this was indeed a real tree. He found a random fruit tree and plucked a fruit from the tree to eat. After eating the fruit, the energy within his body started to replenish slowly. These fruit trees were real as well.

    "All of them are real..." Chen Feng muttered.

    If the vegetation was all real, how was it possible for everything to have appeared out of thin air? This world seemed much more mystical than he had imagined.

    Chen Feng gazed into the distance. "Seems like we have arrived at an amazing world."

    "True." Kong Bai focused his gaze. "Creating something from nothing, this seems to be the prerogative of a god? Hehe. I am curious, what power exactly is that?"

    Suddenly, a strong, chilly breeze brushed past them. They raised their heads abruptly. Wind appeared!

    Ji ji¡ª

    Gu gu¡ª

    From the forest, the sounds of birds and other odd sounds suddenly appeared. The initially deadly silent forest was suddenly filled with life. Vaguely, howls could even be heard. Even animals had appeared! This world was actually slowly bing a world with aplete ecosystem.

    ng! ng!

    Suddenly, the ground trembled. The trees around them trembled violently. The weeds of the forest split apart noiselessly. From far away, a huge creature slowly walked toward them. It was actually a huge elephant with blood-red teeth.

    Hum¡ª

    The teeth glowed with a red light. The head of the elephant rose as its gazended on Chen Feng, killing intent simmering within.

    "Holy shit, peak beyond A ss!"

    Kong Bai was rmed. He had never expected that a random huge creature would actually possess the strength of a beyond A ss. What the hell? This elephant wasn¡¯t any weaker than the Master Mu they had faced earlier. What kind of ce was this world, exactly?

    "Let¡¯s go." Instinctively, Kong Bai wanted to flee, but he was stopped by Chen Feng.

    "Hold on."

    "???" Kong Bai was somewhat dumbstruck. Chen Feng ignored him, focusing his gaze on that terrifying elephant before sweeping his gaze past every single weed in the forest. Ultimately, he raised his head to gaze at the starry sky.

    Creating something out of nothing... This was a magical world! Thankfully, even without luck value helping him, Chen Feng still had his sharp intuition. He had an odd feeling, a feeling that beyond the starry sky, someone was observing them.

 Chapter 576: Mysterious World

    Chapter 576: Mysterious World

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In the unknown world, Chen Feng was gazing up at the starry sky. He had an odd feeling that even though there was only a patch of darkness up there, someone was observing them.

    "Xiao Ying," Chen Feng urged inwardly, "stay here in your void form. Do not show your real body no matter what."

    Shua!

    Chen Feng and Kong Bai retreated rapidly. Although the beyond A ss creature was powerful, fortunately, it wasn¡¯t fast. With Chen Feng and Kong Bai¡¯s present strength, they were able to flee with only some difficulty.

    Bang! Bang!

    The gigantic creature chased after them for five kilometers before giving up.

    "Damn, I was almost scared to death." Kong Bai panted endlessly. "That fellow¡¯s defense is too scary. My attacks couldn¡¯t even move it."

    Chen Feng gazed at him in amazement. "You actually attacked?"

    "Oh." An awkward expression appeared on Kong Bai¡¯s face. "A small attack."

    Chen Feng cautiously probed, "...Demonic Mirror?"

    Kong Bai remained silent. It seemed like Chen Feng had guessed correctly. Chen Feng eximed in admiration. Kong Bai¡¯s demonic mirror had even failed to work on a giant creature like that? Was this giant creature the handsome one, or was Kong Bai the one that was too ugly?

    Kong Bai¡¯s expression darkened. "What kind of gaze is that?"

    Chen Feng coughed. "Don¡¯t worry about it."

    Shua!

    Suddenly, a scene shed through his mind. This was the scene transmitted to him by Xiao Ying. As his strength increased, Xiao Ying¡¯s strength increased as well. After all, Xiao Ying had merged with Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual energy. As such, the two of them could still maintainmunication even when far away. When Xiao Ying had scouted around earlier, it had been equivalent to gaining vision of the entire map. In Chen Feng¡¯s illusory world, the map was imprinted within his mind. His map contained everything within 50 kilometers.

    This was also how they had managed to flee from the giant creature easily. Xiao Ying was still presently remaining around 50 kilometers away from him. As the scene shed through his mind, Chen Feng saw an astonishing scene.

    This...

    His pupils shrunk abruptly. What had he seen? Earlier, the ce they had just departed from had suddenly transformed into ruins. No, to be more urate, it had transformed into an unexinable state of nothingness, a nk te. That ce remained in a state of nothingness where nothing existed. Everything around Xiao Ying was in a state of nothingness.

    Chen Feng raised his brow. "Things are somewhat odd." That was a ce they had been to, a ce they had seen themselves, a ce they had experienced themselves. How had it transformed back into a state of nothingness where no nts or animals existed?

    This ce...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s back chilled. Mysterious vegetation, the sudden appearance of life-forms, and then them all vanishing mysteriously... They seemed to have truly arrived at a rather amazing ce.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng said, "Let¡¯s go back."

    "Huh?" Kong Bai¡¯s foot trembled. "Where?"

    "Where we came from. The ce where we first descended into this world." Chen Feng had a resolute gaze. "I need to verify something."

    Immediately, a tearless crying expression appeared on Kong Bai¡¯s face. He thought of that damnable huge creature. Wasn¡¯t returning there the equivalent of seeking death?

    Chen Feng smiled. "Don¡¯t worry. That thing can¡¯t outrun us anyway."

    Soon, they returned. That giant creature was nowhere to be seen along the way. They traveled through the forest without stop. When they were around 10 kilometers from their destination, Chen Feng stopped.

    This ce...

    Chen Feng shivered. Where Xiao Ying was, the world once again existed. Vegetation, life-forms, and the lush forest, everything had reappeared.

    Why? Chen Feng could not understand it.

    He retreated 200 meters and, with astonishment, noted that where Xiao Ying was, everything had once again turned into a state of nothingness. And when Chen Feng advanced, once again, everything there reappeared. That ce 10 kilometers away from Chen Feng, a ce where the naked eye couldn¡¯t see, he was seeing clearly through Xiao Ying. He witnessed the birth and destruction of all living beings. He saw the growth and disappearance of the forest.

    Everything there seemingly changed in ordance with their distance from that ce. If Chen Feng advanced, those things would appear. If Chen Feng retreated, those things would vanish. The distance to trigger all this was 10 kilometers.

    Suddenly, a dreadful thought surfaced in Chen Feng¡¯s mind. "Could it be..." Suddenly, Chen Feng said, "Xiao Ying. With me as the center, take a spin 10 kilometers around me. You don¡¯t have to make a perfect circle, you can move in a wavy line."

    Shua!

    Xiao Ying started moving around him. Next, an even more astonishing scene appeared in Chen Feng¡¯s mind. Distantly, as Xiao Ying moved, the environment would appear and disappear. When Xiao Ying neared Chen Feng, everything would appear. When Xiao Ying pulled away from Chen Feng, everything would vanish, with the distance between Chen Feng and Xiao Ying being the determining factor.

    Shua! Shua!

    Once again, Xiao Ying scouted the entire region. This time, Chen Feng was casting his senses out and was able to clearly feel everything Xiao Ying could feel. As Xiao Ying was moving around in his illusory state, even the world failed to detect Xiao Ying¡¯s existence.

    Finally, by the time Xiao Ying returned, Chen Feng¡¯s entire body had already chilled. This was a world that would only exist 10 kilometers around Chen Feng. Apart from this, everything remained in a state of nothingness. Wherever Chen Feng went, the world would be created. Whenever Chen Feng went away, the world would perish. Everything seemed to happen so lightly.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng said, "Kong Bai, walk in that direction and stop around 500 meters from me. Remain within my sight."

    "All right." Kong Bai walked over without hesitation. There, Chen Feng sent Xiao Ying out scouting once again. He noted that with Kong Bai as the center, a perfect 10-kilometer circle around him was a world, and everything outside was in a state of nothingness. As such, this was a world with Chen Feng and Kong Bai as the core? Chen Feng contemted.

    But then, how had Xiao Ying scouted the distance of 50 kilometers around them earlier? This was strange. Unless...

    "Xiao Ying. Return to my body before leaving again with your physical body to scout around," Chen Feng said. Soon, Xiao Ying returned and left once again. Next, everywhere Xiao Ying went, a world filled with life could be seen. The nothingness from before was nowhere to be seen. With this, Chen Feng concluded that a world had been formed 10 kilometers around Xiao Ying as well. This was a world that only recognized physical objects. This world was incapable of sensing Xiao Ying¡¯s illusory state, thus allowing Xiao Ying to see the nothingness.

    Without Xiao Ying, Chen Feng and Kong Bai would most probably have spent their entire lives here without realizing that. This world was much scarier than they had imagined. Chen Feng was fearful. False world? No, this was a real world. The vegetations and animals that had appeared from nothingness were all real, merely depending on where Chen Feng¡¯s group was. This felt rather unreal, like a movie scene where the required environment would only be constructed where the scene required it. Outside of the constructed environment, nothing existed.

    Could it be...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng remembered a particr movie in his previous life: The Truman Show .

 Chapter 577: Have You Gone Insane?

    Chapter 577: Have You Gone Insane?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In The Truman Show , the main character lived in a fake world that was artificially constructed. Wherever the main character went, prenned urrences would happen. The families, friends, wife, and children of the main character were in fact all actors and actresses. From the birth of the main character to growing up and getting married, everything was watched by countless people and broadcast as reality TV. This continued until one day, the main character noticed some abnormalities.

    Now, Chen Feng was experiencing something simr. Without Xiao Ying, Chen Feng would never have seen the state of nothingness outside the area 10 kilometers around him.

    "This world... is this a different version of The Truman Show created by some supreme existence?"

    Chen Feng was rmed. However, as he thought about it, there seemed to be some differences. In The Truman Show , everything had yed out ording to the script, having the main character grow as had been decided in the script. Here, though, if Chen Feng and Kong Bai had been too weak, they would have died the moment that giant elephant had appeared earlier.

    This ce...

    Chen Feng¡¯s brain spun at high speed. He had to figure out what was going on here as soon as possible.

    "What¡¯s going on?" Kong Bai had a solemn expression. He was aware that Chen Feng must have discovered something.

    Chen Feng signaled him to stop talking. "Shh." He could sense that someone was observing them even though he was not aware of where this observer was. Suddenly, the earth trembled. It seemed like yet another giant creature was heading toward them from far away. From the booming sound of the ground, it seemed like this time, it was an entire group of giant creatures.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Here we go again." Under normal circumstances, they would definitely flee without thought when encountering beyond-A-ss beasts. However, here, in this mysterious world, these fellows... seemed to be something that had been freshly created as well?

    Chen Feng could see very clearly that on the border of the 10-kilometer radius, far away from them, these giant creatures had appeared out of thin air.

    "Let¡¯s go."

    Chen Feng pulled Kong Bai along as they left. Just as these giant creatures were about to leave the 10-kilometer radius, just as they were about to disappear into nothingness again, or perhaps the exact moment when they vanished, Chen Feng turned around suddenly.

    Shua!

    Those giant creatures that were in the midst of disappearing were once again reassembled.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Now!"

    Shua!

    Instantly, Xiao Ying transformed his body from an illusory state to a physical state.

    Pu! Pu!

    The terrifying red sh streaked around before vanishing.

    Just like that, the several huge and terrifying beyond A ss giant creatures vanished or perhaps one could say that they were killed by Xiao Ying. Chen Feng rushed over. As he arrived, corpses could be seen sprawled all over. Sess! His heart jolted. Regardless of how powerful these creatures were, they were still at their weakest during their moment of birth, or perhaps that was the moment before their birth had fully beenpleted.

    Chen Feng nced over. Indeed, some of them had yet to even form their tails before being killed off. Xiao Ying was very weak. Under normal circumstances, if Xiao Ying dared to transform from his illusory state into a physical state and appear within the body of an expert, even the organs of the expert would be sufficient to kill Xiao Ying. But these fellows here...

    Hehe.

    Kong Bai was amazed. "How did they die?"

    "I have an ability capable of long-distance attacks," Chen Feng stated calmly. "The only con of using the ability is the huge energy exhaustion. Earlier, I guessed randomly at their rough location. Surprisingly, I was able to lock onto them."

    "What a cheat ability!" Kong Bai eximed in admiration.

    "It is a must-have ability. Unfortunately, I won¡¯t be able to use it anymore for now." Chen Feng shook his head. "The meat of these beyond-A-ss mutated beasts should be filled with energy and nutrition, right? Hehe. Do you want to give it a try?"

    Kong Bai¡¯s eyes gleamed. Soon after, the two started roasting the meat right on the spot.

    "In the short term, we are probably stuck here. I was worried that there wouldn¡¯t be anything here. Surprisingly, there are giant creatures and vegetation. I suppose it will be enough for us to survive." Kong Bai spoke as he ate. "We only need to be more careful. The monsters here are way too strong."

    "Mhm." Chen Feng did not say much. He had initially been nning to expose this ruse and see if they would be able to leave that way. But since someone was observing them, Chen Feng was curious about what exactly that person wanted.

    When you are observing someone... Please remember that you are being observed as well.

    Through Xiao Ying, Chen Feng could observe this world from a different perspective. Naturally, to avoid the exposure of Xiao Ying, Chen Feng would temporarily stop using such a method to kill the giant creatures.

    "Let me see exactly what world this is." Chen Feng¡¯s heart was burning. At present, he had nothing to be worried about anyway. He was already a beyond A ss and seemed tock only a single beyond A ss gene for his fusion? Although this ce seemed rather bizarre, there were a lot of giant beyond-A-ss creatures around. If he could obtain his new gene here...

    His eyes gleamed at this thought.

    On the next day.

    Bang! Bang!

    They started exploring thisnd. This was a mystical world that made all sorts of mystical assassination attempts on them. Even a random nt by the road could suddenly transform into a killer. Powerful life forms seemed to be everywhere. Chen Feng and Kong Bai had seemingly stepped into a forest filled with numerous dangers.

    Here, all the monsters were at the level of beyond A ss. Having killed those beyond-A-ss creatures previously, the monsters here seemed to have increased in strength. While fleeing, Chen Feng was looking for a gene suitable for him. s, Kong Bai had never imagined that ultimately, Chen Feng would select a rather normal gene.

    ----

    Giant Elephant Gene

    Ability: Increase the quality of one¡¯s body.

    ss: A

    ----

    That¡¯s right. This was an A-ss gene reagent. A truly useless gene reagent. This was especially true for Chen Feng, as this ability waspletely at odds with his existing abilities.

    Kong Bai looked at him in astonishment. "Have you gone crazy?" Chen Feng was never one to rely on the quality of his body. Let alone God Punisher and Nethergaze, all his abilities were pure energy-eruption abilities. Why had he suddenly decided upon a body-quality gene reagent?

    "This is the most optimal choice." Chen Feng shrugged. "In this world, this is the only gene reagent that can be produced."

    Naturally, the most important reason for his choice was due to the strength of the monsters here, which was increasing without stop. If he chose not to fuse with a gene reagent, he would soon be unable to defeat these monsters and would be ravaged by those monsters instead. At that time, could he rely on Xiao Ying all the time?

    Chen Feng was certain that if he employed Xiao Ying more frequently, that observer would discover some abnormalities. At that time, he would not be able to even observe this world through Xiao Ying. At that time, it would be game over for real.

    As such, he had to fuse with an A-ss gene reagent. Even if the ability provided by the giant-elephant gene reagent was rather useless, at the very least, it was a genuine A-ss gene. After fusing with it, Chen Feng would officially step into the realm of A ss. He would finally be able to start further improving his strength.

    "You must consider this properly," Kong Bai stated with a solemn expression. "Every single fusion is of the utmost importance. If you have decided to fuse with this gene just so you can leave this ce earlier, you will be forever weaker than others of your level. You must know that the reason you are always able to fight those who are of higher level than you is thanks to the gic abilities you have fused with, which have always been powerful. This applies to both me and you. If you fuse with a trash ability, in the future, you will not be able to fight those of a higher level anymore. Furthermore, yourbat strength will even drop greatly." Kong Bai was worried that Chen Feng would make a rash decision. "Right now, things are not yet that dangerous. We can wait until we return before selecting the strongest fusion gene reagent. I believe that the Gic Union, Gene Production Association, and everyone else will assist to get you the best of the best, the fusion gene reagent most suitable for you."

    "I am aware of that." Chen Feng smiled and patted Kong Bai¡¯s shoulder. "Trust me."

    "You..." Kong Bai could only give up advising Chen Feng. Since Chen Feng had said that, perhaps there were some methods of mutating this ability? Unknown to him, Chen Feng had no hidden ns at all this time. The only reason he had chosen this damnable giant-elephant gene reagent was because this was the easiest gene reagent to produce here in this world.

    The materials required to produce this gene reagent were in abundance here. Under the premise of not wasting his luck value, the giant-elephant gene reagent was his only option. Naturally, the other reason for this choice was due to the abundance of such giant elephants everywhere in the forest.

    After fusing with it, Chen Feng could employ the gene strengthening process and ughter these giant elephants to increase his strength. He would increase his strength rapidly and might even reach the peak of beyond A9. At that time, he had something even more important to do. This was also the reason he was rushing to increase his strength and had selected the giant-elephant gene reagent. Naturally, he would have to first focus on the present.

    He licked his dry lips. "Hunt a suitable giant elephant for me."

    In the unknown world.

    Chen Feng shook his hands after finishing the production of a brand-new gene reagent. This was absolutely the most ordinary gene reagent Chen Feng had ever produced in his career. It had not been produced with the best or a unique blood essence, nor had the form been improved by luck value. This giant-elephant fusion gene reagent was so ordinary one couldn¡¯t even hope to find anything special about it.

    Kong Bai sighed. "Are you really going to fuse with this gene reagent?"

    Chen Feng nodded. "Mhm." This gene reagent was already produced with the best giant elephant blood essence he could find. This fusion gene reagent didn¡¯t have any major functions. After using it, the gene would merely fuse with Chen Feng¡¯s body, improving his body quality greatly.

    Kong Bai smiled bitterly. "You..." This thing was rather simple to understand. Chen Feng¡¯s previous efforts had been skewed toward spiritual energy. Nine-tenths of his specialization was spiritual energy, while one-tenth of his specialization was body quality. After fusing with a body-rted gene reagent instead of a spiritual energy-rted gene reagent this time, the ration would be 6:4 between energy and body. Naturally, 5:5 might be the end result as well. More importantly, selecting this gene reagent might signify that Chen Feng could never use a 6-star secret art.

    One ought to know that every single 6-star secret art was something that centered around a certain gene. A huge factor influencing one¡¯s choice in one¡¯s core gene was due to the 6-star secret art that person decided upon. Since this giant elephant gene had been obtained from this alien world, it was possible that this gene would be incapable of working together with other genes to form 6-star secret arts. The difficulty would be furtherpounded by the fact that all the other genes Chen Feng had fused with in the past were energy based.

    After selecting this gene, Chen Feng would never be able to use secret arts. Naturally, since Chen Feng was already powerful, this disadvantage might not be immediately obvious. But what about in the future? When everyone was in peak beyond A ss, when everyone had reached the limit of humanity, the bottleneck of humanity, the only way one could hope to obtain an advantage over others was through one¡¯s gic abilities.

    At that time, the gap between a 5-star secret art and 6-star secret art would be as huge as the sky and the Earth. Even if Chen Feng had been focusing on individual abilities, with himcking a core ability to rely upon... Kong Bai shook his head at the thought.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance swirled around. Chen Fengpleted his fusion. This fusion was so ordinary that nothing special could be found from it. Such a breakthrough was so ordinary that not even a special phenomenon was generated upon breakthrough. Everything seemed way too nd.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng cast his senses inward and sensed the power within him. Mhm... the quality of his body had roughly tripled.

    His body quality, which had originally only been B ss, had sessfully improved to A ss. Even if it wasn¡¯t much among A sses, at the very least, his defense had increased greatlypared to before. He was able to take more of a beating now.

    Whoosh! Whoosh!

    The dangers of the forest remained. Kong Bai and Chen Feng continued dodging wave after wave of attacks upon them.

    Kong Bai looked at Chen Feng. "What do we do next?"

    Chen Feng looked at the distant giant elephant. "Kill! Since I have fused with the giant-elephant gene reagent, I will fully make use of it, pushing the gene-strengthening process to the end."

    Gene strengthening was a process where one selected a mutated beast with higher attributes than the gic warrior and then plundered the attributes of the mutated beast that were higher than the gic warrior¡¯s. This was the process of improvement most familiar to most gic warriors.

    Kong Bai nodded. "All right." This was most certainly the reason Chen Feng had decided to give up on his future and focus on the present, to increase his strength as soon as possible before escaping this dangerous and damnable ce. However, Kong Bai failed to notice that the giant elephants they faced seemed to be bing stronger and stronger...

    Beyond A1...

    Beyond A2...

    Beyond A3...

    ...

    Finally, eventually, Kong Bai realized that something seemed off. The mutated beasts seemed endless in this damnable forest, and their strength was increasing constantly as well. Regardless of how many beasts they killed, it seemed to serve no purpose.

    Kong Bai was rmed. "How many of these fellows are there?"

    "No idea." Chen Feng smiled calmly. "But then, isn¡¯t this the best opportunity to increase my strength?"

    Bang!

    Yet another giant elephant was killed, and once again, Chen Fengpleted the gene-strengthening process.

    One time.

    Two times.

    Three times.

    As the mutated beasts appeared without stop, Chen Feng¡¯s strength increased without stop as well. This was a rapid improvement in the truest sense. Regardless of where one was, one would never be able to see such a huge number of mutated beasts, and mutated beasts that would actually increase in strength at that. This seemed like a perfect strength-increase service prepared especially for Chen Feng.

    Beyond A5...

    Beyond A6...

    ...

    Now, even Kong Bai was no longer able to deal with the appearing enemies.

    Despite that, Chen Feng, who had previously been beyond A1 ss, had actually managed to forcefully reach beyond A5 from gene strengthening alone. This was indeed a frightening speed, a speed that caused Kong Bai to be speechless. For the very first time, he wondered if Chen Feng¡¯s choice of fusing with the giant-elephant gene wasn¡¯t the wrong choice after all.

    Bang! Bang!

    The battle in the forest continued. Numerous giant elephants died in battle as Chen Feng¡¯s strength increased without stop.

    Beyond A7!

    Beyond A8!

    ...

    Chen Feng¡¯s strength increased constantly. After half a month of this, Kong Bai rmingly noticed that Chen Feng had actually reached the peak of beyond A ss. That¡¯s right, in half a month, Chen Feng reached the peak of beyond A ss.

    "???"

    Kong Bai was dumbfounded. He gazed nkly at the corpses of the giant elephants that were sprawled everywhere. It seemed like this was the actual reason Chen Feng had decided on this gene? Because these giant elephants were everywhere? The process of reaching peak beyond A ss, which would take someone around 30 or even 50 years, had been shortened by Chen Feng to a mere 15 days. This speed was so fast that no words could be used to describe it aptly.

    One ought to know that in the gic world, in the gic era, beyond-A-ss mutated beasts were rather rare. It was basically impossible for beyond A sses to improve by way of gene strengthening, as suitable mutated beasts were basically impossible to find. As such, they had no choice but to grow in strength slowly.

    To reach beyond A2 from beyond A1, around three to five years would be required. To reach beyond A3 from beyond A2, an even longer period would be required. As such, reaching beyond A9 was a long process. That was why even with the huge amount of beyond A sses appearing thanks to beyond X gene reagent, they were still unable to catch up to the older, original beyond A sses.

    The gap between the new and the old was extremely huge. Yet when it came to Chen Feng, his speed of growth had truly rmed Kong Bai.

    Bang!

    Distantly, a peak beyond-A-ss giant beast appeared.

    "Let me deal with it." Kong Bai took the initiative to attack.

    Hum¡ª

    A bizarre vibration shed out.

    Kong Bai¡¯s attack was ineffective. Instead, he was directly flung away by that giant beast. This was a beast whose Kong Bai had no hope of matching. This beast was way too powerful for him.

    "Let me do it instead."

    Chen Feng took wide steps forward and easily beat that giant beast up. He had already been someone capable of challenging those of a higher rank before this. Now that he was a peak beyond A ss, it was an extremely simple affair to deal with a beast at this level.

    Pu!

    The giant beast copsed loudly.

    "Damn it." Kong Bai was filled with envy. "I feel like fusing with a giant elephant gene myself as well."

    Future? Screw that. Such quick growth... Even if a part of this speed had to do with Chen Feng¡¯s existing prowess, this rapid growth was something Kong Bai had never witnessed before. If all of humanity could grow at such a speed...

    What was a mere ancient race? What was a mere devil race? Both could be eliminated easily.

    Chen Feng stretched. "Finally, I have reached the peak." He could sense the powerful strength contained within his body. Even if this giant elephant gene didn¡¯t have a powerful gic ability, the gene-strengthening processes Chen Feng had spammed without stop had pushed all his attributes to an unimaginable height.

    Bang!

    With a single wave of his hand, a force so powerful that it was akin to an explosion could be felt. With one proper gic ability as a cost, Chen Feng had amassed such high attributes and reached the peak of the food chain.

    Chen Feng smiled. "Well then... it¡¯s time to start."

    Kong Bai nked. "The start of what?"

    Chen Feng smiled mysteriously. "You will know soon enough."

 Chapter 579: Chen Fengâ€™s Real Goal

    Chapter 579: Chen Feng¡¯s Real Goal

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Shua! Shua!

    The forest was still filled with danger. The powerful environmental forces and giant beasts appeared without stop. However, against Chen Feng¡¯s peak beyond-A-ss strength, all of them became nothing; he was able to be deal with them easily. However, due to this, the dangers of the forest became even more vicious and the beasts became even stronger as Chen Feng dealt with them without stop.

    Peak beyond A ss, dealt with!

    A slightly more powerful peak beyond A ss, dealt with.

    Even more powerful peak beyond A ss, dealt with.

    ...

    One, two, three, and so on. The beasts of the forest became stronger and stronger, and gradually, they reached some sort of limit. At that point, the forest shook in an odd manner.

    Hum¡ª

    A petrifying aura erupted.

    Kong Bai¡¯s expression sank. "Not good!" This aura...

    "It¡¯s finally here?" Chen Feng¡¯s gaze became sharp. "S ss!"

    That¡¯s right. This was Chen Feng¡¯s true goal: S ss! After discovering that the beasts here could be stronger without end, Chen Feng had wondered, When the strength of the beasts here reaches a certain limit, will a transformation ur? Will the beasts enter a brand-new realm?

    Chen Feng had considered this possibility and had, without hesitation, initiated his n. Regardless of what ce this was, regardless of whether this ce was real or not, Chen Feng could clearly feel that the power he had gained after his improvement was the real deal. That alone was sufficient for him to initiate his n. As such, Chen Feng had increased his strength without stop.

    He had chosen giant-elephant gene since it was the easiest gene to improve here. Only with this gene could he reach peak beyond A ss in the shortest time possible to force the appearance of an S ss in this forest as soon as possible.

    Even if this was merely a guess, what they stood to gain was simply too astonishing. As such, Chen Feng had initiated his n without any hesitation. Now, it seemed like his gamble had paid off.

    Bang!

    That terrifying aura pervaded the forest. The powerful S-ss aura engulfed the entire forest.

    Even when the S-ss beast was still at the fringe of the forest, outside the 10 kilometers Chen Feng could monitor, that aura...

    Kong Bai was horrified. "This was your true goal?"

    Fusing with the giant-elephant gene...

    Entering S ss as soon as possible...

    Everything Chen Feng did was much more shocking than he had ever imagined.

    Chen Feng smiled. "This is the only way we can leave this ce, right?" If he guessed correctly, after killing this fellow...

    Amazing! Kong Bai had nothing but praise for Chen Feng. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Kong Bai had already had his eyes on a particr A-ss gene reagent, he would have probably followed Chen Feng¡¯s lead and fused with a giant elephant gene. Naturally, at this point, his mind was wavering and he was reconsidering his decision.

    Bang! Bang!

    The S-ss giant beast started moving. The earth shook.

    Kong Bai¡¯s mood became solemn. "That fellow ising." He could clearly feel how frightening that S-ss beast was. It was something he had no hope of dealing with. The opponent could probably kill him off with a single sneeze.

    "I will be dealing with it," Chen Feng said solemnly. He knew that the gap between him and an S ss was...

    Kong Bai was not the only one incapable of dealing with an S ss here. Even Chen Feng himself wasn¡¯t a match for that S ss even though he was already a peak beyond A ss. A peak beyond A9 and an S ss were simply in two different leagues. This was something he had realized before when Li Lei had been defeated by a single p from the devil race¡¯s S ss.

    In the real world, Chen Feng would most certainly have turned around and fled immediately upon encountering an S ss. But here, in this forest...

    Shua! Shua!

    Chen Feng streaked about in the forest, maintaining a distance of about 10 kilometers between him and the beast. Due to this, the beast remained in a limbo of creation and destruction. Indeed, the moment the beast went out of the 10-kilometer radius, it would vanish even though it was an S ss. Chen Feng¡¯s gaze shone brightly. Once again, he saw the disappearance of that beast followed by its reappearance.

    His eyes gleamed coldly. "Now!"

    Xiu! Xiu!

    Xiao Ying started attacking. As this S ss beast had yet to fully take form, as its body was in the midst of reconstruction, Xiao Ying appeared abruptly before charging at the beast with a powerful spiritual attack.

    Bang! Bang!

    The attack erupted.

    With the sudden appearance of Xiao Ying, the world 10 kilometers around Xiao Ying started taking form rapidly. As such, the beast started taking shape at a rapid pace as well.

    Shua!

    Instantly, Xiao Ying disappeared again, leaving no trace behind.

    Hum¡ª

    Once again, the body of the beast started fading away.

    Chen Feng watched on calmly. "Very good." This was the might of Xiao Ying, the ability to transform his body between the illusory and the real world at will. Only by constantly switching could they deliver a serious injury to this terrifying S-ss life form.

    Naturally, controlling the distance was extremely important as well. Not only did Chen Feng need to ensure that the beast remained in the limbo of creation and destruction, he had to ensure that the beast would not disappearpletely for real either. That was because the moment the beast vanished fully, when it reappeared the next time, its body would be brand new as well. As such, Chen Feng had to ensure the continuation of the limbo.

    Shua! Shua!

    The distance between them changed without stop.

    A distance of 10 kilometers.

    A distance of 9.8 kilometers.

    A distance of 10 kilometers.

    A distance of 9.8 kilometers.

    ...

    Xiao Ying switched between the illusory and real world without stop, causing the world to maintain a cycle of destruction and creation. With this, the aura of that S-ss beast started weakening.

    Bang! Bang!

    Suddenly, the entire forest started shaking at an odd frequency. The entire forest started showing signs of copse, seemingly on the verge of destruction.

    "Holy shit, Chen Feng, what have you done?" Kong Bai wiped his sweat.

    Chen Feng ignored him and fixed his gaze on that distant battlefield.

    Vanish.

    Appear.

    Vanish.

    Appear.

    The aura of that S-ss beast was already extremely weak. Xiao Ying continued appearing within the body of that beast and attacking when it was in a weakened state, delivering heavy injuries to that beast without stop. Xiao Ying¡¯s final attacks caused one to feel rather speechless, as Xiao Ying had directly appeared at that ce...

    Howl! Howl!

    A furious and dreadful howl resounded without stop. The howl sounded even more terrifying, yet the aura was bing weaker.

    At this moment, the entire forest was flickering without stop, the entire world became even more bizarre, seemingly reaching some sort of limit that the world wasn¡¯t supposed to reach at all.

    "Faster, faster," Chen Feng urged inwardly.

    Bang! Bang!

    The forest continued to be destroyed. The radius of 10 kilometers started shrinking. As Chen Feng noticed this, he reduced his distance with the beast, maintaining the bnce so that the beast would remain in limbo.

    Once...

    Twice...

    Thrice...

    Ten kilometers...

    Eight kilometers...

    Five kilometers...

    As the distance reached two kilometers, when the beast was somewhat within view, the S-ss beast howled.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed. "Here ites!"

    Bang!

    Onest time, Xiao Ying erupted, blooming within the body of that beast.

    Pop!

    Blood sttered everywhere. The S-ss beast had ultimately failed to fully form its body. This beast that would be an utterly terrifying existence wherever it was ced had, in this maphack-like manner, in this world, been killed by Xiao Ying. Howmentable.

    Bang!

    The body that was 99% percentplete copsed loudly to the ground. With a rapid speed, Chen Feng rushed over and extracted the blood essence. S-ss blood essence, obtained!

 Chapter 580: Appear!

    Chapter 580: Appear!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang!

    Along with the death of the S-ss beast, the entire world started trembling. The S-ss blood essence extracted by Chen Feng had seemingly exhausted all the energy supporting the existence of this world.

    Ka! Ka!

    Countless cracks appeared below their feet. The initially intact space started cracking, akin to a shattered mirror. Numerous bizarre seals appeared before shattering with a loud crack.

    Bang!

    The entire world copsed. The world before them vanished instantly, plunging them into boundless darkness.

    "Spirit," Chen Feng urged inwardly.

    "All right." Spirit prepared to activate Luck Aura.

    Chen Feng looked at Kong Bai. "Kong Bai, prepare yourself."

    Kong Bai nodded. "Understood."

    The moment an irreversible crisis befell them, Chen Feng and Kong Bai would have no choice but to forcibly transmigrate. As for their ultimate destination or whether they could even survive, those were unknown. However, as they both were preparing for the worst-case scenario, a sliver of light appeared amid the dark world. Shortly afterward, the entire world became brightly lit once again.

    Hum¡ª

    Light shone brightly. The entire world was once again firm, and before them was still the lush and green forest. Around them was still the familiar air, yet Chen Feng could keenly feel that this was no longer the same world as before. The unfamiliarity of the space here... This signified that the world earlier had already been destroyed and that this world was brand new.

    However, as they looked around, before Chen Feng could even awaken from his stupor, he heard numerous high-pitched yells, mixed sounds, and tremendous cheers.

    "Chen Feng! Chen Feng!"

    "Kong Bai! Kong Bai!"

    "They are out! Hahahaha, this is too awesome. It has been a long time since I saw someone pass this level."

    "Chen Feng, I love you!"

    ...

    Numerous thundering yells resounded.

    Finally, the ufortable feeling brought about by teleportation vanished. Chen Feng focused his gaze and finally saw that beyond the forest, there were countless people. These people resembled humans yet at the same time did not seem human. They had two horns on each side of their forehead. Apart from this, they werepletely the same as regr humans. There were males and females, and there were young ones and old ones, all of them cheering frantically.

    The passion with which they were yelling was not unlike a hardcore fan of a superstar.

    Hold on... they seem to be shouting my name?

    Chen Feng¡¯s brain operated rapidly.

    Shua!

    He swept his gaze around. Instantly, the real surroundings were revealed to him. With shock, Chen Feng found that the world they had been in was actually a world that had been reduced in size by ten times. A radius of 10 kilometers? Not quite right. That was because this arena they were in had a circumference of one kilometer. After magnifying this one kilometer ten times, the radius of 10 kilometers had been created for Chen Feng and Kong Bai. For those incapable of viewing things beyond these 10 kilometers, this would be akin to a boundless world. The world they had been in was in fact this arena, an arena with a circumference of one kilometer.

    "Chen Feng! Chen Feng!" Around him, countless people yelled his name. He felt as if he was performing in some sort of concert.

    Shua! Shua!

    A huge screen appeared midair. The remarkable battles of Chen Feng and Kong Bai were erged. The numerous times they had turned defeat into victory brought endless excitement to the spectators. Numerous people cheered. Chen Feng and Kong Bai exchanged nces, both feeling their hearts chilling. These scenes...

    In other words, everything they had experienced, those experiences of life and death, all of that had merely been entertainment for the people of this world?

    "Hello, o great warrior." A middle-aged man walked toward them. The horn on his head glowed with red. "I am truly too excited." He regarded Chen Feng as he said, "It has been a very long time since someone survived the Arena of Life and Death."

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "Arena of Life and Death?"

    "That¡¯s right. This great ce is named the Arena of Life and Death," the middle-aged man exined in excitement. "I am the host of this ce. My name is Ruo Shui. I know that both of you are presently filled with doubt. However, it does not matter. I will provide an exnation. I believe that all the spectators here are also looking forward to what you two have to say," Ruo Shui stated.

    Chen Feng looked around. Indeed, expectant expressions could be seen on the faces of everyone present.

    Chen Feng asked the question he was most curious about. "What is this ce?"

    "Haha." Smiling, Ruo Shui answered, "I knew that you, great warrior, would ask this question. You must be curious about the reason you that appeared here in this world. In fact, this is the blessing granted by the great God. The Arena of Life and Death is the program with the highest ratings and viewers here in our world. Every single season, we select several life-forms from alien worlds to participate. They enter the Arena of Life and Death, and they have to survive the numerous dangers of the forest and the attacks of the ferocious beasts. Ultimately, they will also have to defeat the strongest beast. You both were selected for this season." With a smile, Ruo Shui continued, "You do not need to be anxious or angry. I was once interrupted when my exnation reached this point. As such, please allow me to finish my exnation. We have no malice toward you great warriors. When selecting warriors from alien worlds, we select from the terrifying spatial current, the current with a mortality rate of 99.99%."

    "Under normal circumstances, entering the spatial current is akin to a sure death. Our great God used His divine power to rescue those people from the spatial current, giving them a chance at a new life. However, there is a limit to the number of beings we can sustain here. As such, we can¡¯t take in everyone, and thus, this Arena of Life and Death came into being. Only the most powerful and outstanding of warriors that have survived the Arena of Life and Death are qualified to stay here. Wee to our world," Ruo Shui said proudly.

    As an original inhabitant of this world, he indeed deserved the pride he felt. Spatial current... Chen Feng and Kong Bai exchanged nces. They had never expected that this had actually happened to their transmigration? In short, when Kong Bai had been randomly transmigrating them, he had identally stumbled upon the summoning of this world? Chen Feng did not believe this.

    "This must be due to luck value," Spirit stated after giving it some thought. There was no helping it, as at that time, the circumstances had truly been too dangerous, and Chen Feng¡¯s luck value had been pitifully low. Perhaps this had been the only method of survival his luck value had been able to find for him.

    Therefore...

    Chen Feng rubbed his head. He finally understood what had happened. Who could have guessed that he would star in an alien world¡¯s reality show? Mhm, seemed like he was also now a superstar due to him surviving the show?

    Chen Feng smiled forcefully. "So, we are considered superstars now?"

    Kong Bai shrugged indifferently. "I guess so."

    "It seems like our selected warriors this time are indeed intelligent, to be able to absorb everything in such a short time," Ruo Shui eximed in admiration. He was rather amazed at the receptivity of both Chen Feng and Kong Bai. One ought to know that during his time as the host of this show, he had witnessed way too many weird people. Some had copsed because they couldn¡¯t ept the truth, and others had decided to attack him after figuring everything out. There had even been some who had started crying for their parents after the copse of the arena.

    The weirdest contestant he had seen was a person who, upon arriving in the arena, started shouting, "I have actually transmigrated! There must be a system somewhere!" Next, that person had shouted, "System, show yourself! Grandpa, descend! This is not an unlimited space. Main deity, get your ass out here!" That person had continued spouting all sorts of nonsense from his mouth. He had attracted quite a bit of attention back then, causing people to discuss what, exactly, the system that person had spoken of was. Naturally, that person had ultimately been killed by the beasts in the area. The system, the grandpa, the main deity, everything he had spoken of had ultimately ended up as a puzzle of the arena. The people guessed that those might have been the powerful trump cards of that person. s, after descending upon an alien world, that person¡¯s abilities had been ineffective. People like this were numerous. As for Chen Feng and Kong Bai, these two were in fact the calmest of the contestants he had ever seen.

    "Worthy of being a warrior indeed."

    "I seem to remember that in this arena, any contestant that survives for a month will be considered to have passed, yet Chen Feng and Kong Bai actually managed to kill that big fellow and crash the entire world."

    "How powerful!" the fans around them eximed in admiration.

    "Hehe."

    Chen Feng merely smiled calmly. He was not one to go and make a big deal out of everything. Only by nning things out properly would he stand a chance. At present, there was no apparent danger. As such, he would take this chance to gain a proper understanding of this world. As for Kong Bai, this guy was way too used to weird urrences due to his rich transmigration experience.

    "Well then." Ruo Shui took out a shiny contract. "Would the two of you please sign the contract? Since the both of you are survivors of the Arena, you will both naturally be considered artists under ourpany. After signing this contract, we will provide suitable identities for the both of you. Naturally, as for the heights you two can reach in this world, that will have to depend on yourselves."

    Shua!

    Light swirled before them and a contract filled with unfamiliar characters appeared.

    Chen Feng pondered lightly. "All right." In truth, he and Kong Bai had no other choice. This was an extremely unique world. All the people here had horns on their head that contained dreadful power. Every single person here had astonishing power. Chen Feng did not doubt that they would meet a bad end were they to resist the people here.

    Shua!

    He and Kong Bai inputted their spiritual energy into the contract. The contract glowed faintly. Next, the information pertaining to the both of them appeared on the screen. Moreover, a huge featured article about them appeared, driving all the fans there crazy.

    "Chen Feng, I love you!"

    "Kong Bai, I want to make babies with you!"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Finally, he understood why he had kept feeling like someone had been observing him. This world...the people here... He looked at Kong Bai. It seemed like they had indeed arrived at a rather amazing world.

    "All right. The both of you may go take a rest now." Ruo Shui was all smiles. "You are warriors worthy of respect. As such, we have provided a perfect service of clothing, food, housing, and transportation for you both, which will remain until the next event."

    Chen Feng raised a brow. "Next event?"

    "That¡¯s right." Ruo Shui smiled. "After all, you are superstars here. As such, there is a need for you two to keep hold of your poprity. Thus, we will arrange some events for the both of you to participate in once per week."

    "What are the events you are talking about?" Chen Feng questioned.

    "Something like an adventuring event." Smiling, Ruo Shui exined, "The strength of the enemies will be somewhat increased. I trust that you both will definitely be able to achieve sess again and gain even more fans."

    Finishing his exnation, Ruo Shui nodded his head before leaving. Chen Feng and Kong Bai were brought to a huge room with every amodation one could wish for. There were even servants assigned to serve them. Living here, one could enjoy the life of an emperor.

    Naturally, due to the huge amount of fanatical fans, thepany had proposed that before their strength reached a certain standard, they should not leave this dwelling. Chen Feng¡¯s nce swept past the huge barrier in the distance. He tried walking over, and as he arrived, a virtual window popped out.

    ----

    Ding¡ª

    Due to your weak strength and the high frequency of injuries caused by fanatical fans, we do not rmend your departure. If you insist on leaving, please contact the person in charge. We will review your request as soon as possible. If you have any requests, please do contact us. We will provide the best of services to you as soon as possible.

    ----

    "Thispany here is quite humanlike," Kong Bai eximed in admiration. Thepany here felt even better than the entertainmentpanies in their world.

    Chen Feng sneered. "Is that so?" That¡¯s right, this was a new world for them. Here, they were celebrities. Everything seemed so perfect. However, Chen Feng was able to rearrange his thoughts shortly after and started analyzing the actual situation here.

    "Restricting our travel, providing food and amodations, and joining an event after a certain interval to attract spectators..." Chen Feng sighed and looked at Kong Bai, who was still in the midst of excitement from all this. "Do you not feel that we are no different than animals in a circus?"

    Kong Bai nked. "Holy shit, that¡¯s not true, right?" He sank into contemtion and tried viewing it from Chen Feng¡¯s perspective, and he noted that it was indeed as Chen Feng had said; they were no different than circus animals. The so-called God and rescue, all of that was a load of shit.

    Essentially, this was an entertainmentpany that had kidnapped some aliens to improve the ratings of their show, using the numerous alien species as a means of boosting their ratings. Chen Feng was certain that among the summoned life-forms, there were all sorts of species.

    Naturally, none of them would be allowed to leave alive. The rationale for this was that if Chen Feng was the one running this show, he would most certainly not allow aliens to loiter around his world as well. Therefore, those people would definitely not grant them freedom. As Kong Bai thought about it, his heart chilled.

    Without a doubt, they would be locked here and let out once per week to join the events. They would have to entertain the spectators like monkeys, continuously attracting fans. The stronger the enemies they faced, the more desperate their battles would be. In turn, the spectators would get even more excited, until one day when they finally perished.

    "This damnable world," Kong Bai cursed in rage.

    "Perhaps, this is not bad for us," Chen Feng stated calmly. Whether this was an opportunity or a cmity remained to be seen. Even if these people were keeping them like some pets, it wasn¡¯t like they had nothing to gain at all. For example, the world where the events would be held, the world where they could temper themselves, those would be real, including the energy and blood essence they gained.

    Chen Feng rubbed the S-ss blood essence he had in his bosom. He was still keeping this thing around. The power system of this world seemedpletely different than the Gic Era. As such, they were not aware that what Chen Feng had extracted was in fact blood essence, nor were they aware of his reason for extracting the blood essence. Moreover, they were not aware that the extracted blood essence was something Chen Feng could use to increase his strength. For Chen Feng and Kong Bai, this was an opportunity¡ªthe best opportunity, in fact.

    After all, it was simply impossible for Chen Feng to get his hands on an S-ss gene reagent under normal circumstances. It would be apt to say that nobody could create an S-ss gene reagent, as S-ss beasts had never existed. But here... there was a chance!

    Chen Feng turned on themodity menu and took a look at it. Here, all sorts of delivery services were provided. Anything he wanted, he would be able to obtain. Evidently, thepany was hoping that Chen Feng and Kong Bai could increase their strength as well, as shown by what was avable for sale. After all, the stronger Chen Feng and Kong Bai became, the higher the chances of their survival and the more money thepany would make.

    Chen Feng took a nce and noticed countless amazing medicinal herbs that did not exist in the human world. Here in this world, the herbs would either be crushed and pasted on one¡¯s body or would be directly consumed to increase one¡¯s strength. The reason for such a crude method of using the herbs was theck of gene production here in this world.

    Chen Feng pondered. "It seems like the standard of their gene production is extremely low."

    Kong Bai curled his lips. "Or perhaps they do not need gene production at all?"

    That was quite probable as well. In any case, this was still a good thing for them. Chen Feng could make use of this chance to gather sufficient materials to produce the S-ss gene reagent. Or perhaps he could even improve the S-ss form with everything provided here.

    If I can enter S ss... Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. This might be the only way they could escape their current predicament.

 Chapter 582: Must Return Alive!

    Chapter 582: Must Return Alive!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the Gic Union.

    All the higher-ups had assembled together and were discussing a truth they did not dare to face: something had happened to Chen Feng.

    Qian Chen, Si Fan, and Chen Feng had all lost contact with them. The entire training camp was filled with the aura of the devil race. The Gic Union¡¯s reinforcements had indeed gone over and had been able to regain control over the training camp, yet no traces of Chen Feng had been found. This signified that he had probably been kidnapped or killed.

    "Isn¡¯t this good?" The head of the Finance Department had always harbored a dislike for Chen Feng. Now that Chen Feng was no longer here and he had left no family members behind, the Gic Union could take over everything he had created. What a perfect conclusion.

    Shua!

    Everyone¡¯s gazended on him uniformly, disdain in their eyes.

    "I know that you are the nephew of the president, would you believe me if I told you that if you said something that stupid again, you wouldn¡¯t leave this ce alive?" The Research Department head was furious. Were these people not clear yet on what Chen Feng¡¯s existence meant for humanity? Theck of foresight here was truly shocking.

    "All right now." The deputy president waved his hand and interrupted them. "At present, are there any ways of discovering any traces of Chen Feng?"

    "Nope." The Scout Department head shook his head. "The only thing we were able to discover was the fact that on that day, something happened to the three of them at the same time. All other information was covered up by the devils."

    "Are there no ways of clearing the cover-up?" the deputy president asked with a frown.

    The Scout Department head sighed. "We need time for that."

    "Hasten it," the deputy president said solemnly. Whatever traces could be found at the training camp would be their only clues. That was the only way they could try to infer on the truth of what had happened that day... Qian Chen and Si Fan were confirmed dead. However, if Chen Feng had merely been captured... they definitely had to rescue him.

    **

    At the Mysterious Organization.

    Qin Hai, with an ashenplexion, was looking at the news he had received. His source of news was different from the people of the Gic Union. His news had been received from the Land of Legacy, where Master Mu had ultimatelybeled Chen Feng¡¯s fate as "sure death." Nobody could hope to survive in the spatial currents Chen Feng hadnded in.

    Qin Hai nked. "Dead?"

    He could not believe that a day woulde when Chen Feng would really die. He could not believe this, but then, Master Mu had personally confirmed this. Oh, wait, there was that person that he had forgotten about. Qin Hai grasped his fists tightly. At that time, he had seen Chen Feng¡¯s request for help. As such, he had moved out and attacked the church to force Master Mu to return. s, there had actually been two experts of the Land of Legacy acting against Chen Feng on that day. If Qin Hai had known this earlier, if he had noticed this earlier, he could have...

    The mostmentable of all was the fact that when he had returned, his fellow apprentice brothers had all told him amiably that they hadn¡¯t told him about their n as they¡¯d been worried about troubling him. That¡¯s right, they hadn¡¯t suspected his identity. Rather, they had merely been worried by the prospect of troubling him.

    Bang!

    Qin Hai pped the table in front of him into pieces.

    Di¡ª

    Di¡ª

    His wristband buzzed. Wang Yao was trying to contact him. Evidently, she had also received some news and was trying to get an update from him. Qin Hai looked at his wristband, not knowing how he should even begin to tell her the truth.

    What to do?

    Suddenly, Qin Hai¡¯s gazended on the next name in his contact list. Hold on, this might not be a helpless situation. He recalled how they had once returned to the past to change the history. This might seem unlikely to seed, as he might not be able to return from the past this time. However, if he was able to rescue Chen Feng...

    Qin Hai contacted Kong Bai. Surprisingly, Kong Bai had disappeared as well.

    ??

    Qin Hai got someone from the ancient race to divine news of Kong Bai. Astonishingly, both Kong Bai and Chen Feng had disappeared at the exact same time and ce. Could it be...

    Suddenly, Qin Haiughed. Regardless of whether it was Chen Feng or Kong Bai, if they were alone when they encountered such an impasse, they would have no way out. However, when the two of them were together, nobody could take them away forcefully.

    "They are fine," replied Qin Hai to Wang Yao¡¯s message. He began staring into the distance.

    I shall be waiting for your return!

    "Reporting, lord, traces of the rebels have been found," one of his underlings reported in excitement. This was their final battle. After getting rid of this final rebel army, they would finally have united the entire ancient race as one.

    "Excellent." Qin Hai¡¯s gaze became sharp. "Start surrounding them. We shall talk about further actions after that."

    "???" The underling was somewhat dumbstruck. Could they not attack directly? Why was there a need to surround them? With the number of rebels, it would take a week to surround them.

    "This is the final battle. As such, we must make ample preparations. The reason for first surrounding them is to prevent anyone from escaping. I do not wish to see anyone escape, thus dying our eventual unification of the ancient race. With this being our final battle with them, they will most certainly have prepared numerous trump cards. I wish to avoid more casualties as well. Therefore, before they discover us, we should take our time and make as many preparations as we can afford. Slowly, until we devour their entire army," Qin Hai stated with a hooded gaze.

    "All right." The underling did not doubt Qin Hai¡¯s words and left to implement the order. Qin Hai stared ahead in silence. This was the longest he could drag this out.

    Chen Feng, Kong Bai, you both must return alive!

    ***

    Twin Horns World.

    That¡¯s right, that was the name of this world. The people here had observed numerous life-forms and, through that, granted this world this unique and prideful name: Twin Horns World.

    At present, within a certain room, Chen Feng was painstakingly studying the breakthrough into S ss. Under normal circumstances, one would first need to break through into the new realm before fusing with a new gene reagent. At present, the limit of humanity was peak A ss. Breaking through into the next realm was an impossibility. As such, an S-ss gene reagent would be required to force this breakthrough. Thus, some contents that would normally only be consumed after the breakthrough needed to be added to the fusion gene reagent.

    "Gene reagent..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s head ached as he looked at his low luck value. Attempting to create an S-ss gene reagent were akin to a bottomless pit. Chen Feng got Spirit to make an estimation for the amount required. It turned out that over 1,000 luck value would be required for that. That was a rather frightening amount.

    Chen Feng sighed. "Seems like I can only rely on myself this time." Fortunately, this was the Arena of Life and Death.

    Although this damnablepany had restricted their freedom, they had provided a huge amount of resources as well. Nearly all the resources he could think of would be supplied without limit. All these resources would require credits to be purchased, which could be earned by surviving the Arena of Life and Death.

    Purchase, purchase, purchase!

    Spam, spam, spam!

    Without rest, Chen Feng purchased the materials and improved his form without stop. However, after only one day, his credits were fully exhausted. This consumption rate was incredibly frightening. Next, Chen Feng began his new life as a debtor. Here, one¡¯s credit could go into the negatives. Perhaps this system had been put in ce to cate some powerful warriors, or perhaps it had been put in ce to scam the participating warriors. Regardless, thepany had a debt mechanism with a terrifying rate of interest for the credits owed.

    Every nine credits one borrowed, one would have to repay thirteen credits. They opined that this would be a better method of controlling those alien warriors. Moreover, helping these warriors grow in strength would be beneficial for them to earn even more money.

    However...

    Ruo Shui frowned as he read the data regarding Chen Feng. Due to the high interest, the majority of warriors avoided going into debt. Only a small amount of them, those that were in a rush to break through or that felt a sense of crisis, would agree to go into debt just to purchase more materials. Even so, these people would repay the debt as soon as possible. They wouldn¡¯t dare to stay in debt for a prolonged period of time.

    Yet this guy named Chen Feng...

    Each credit here was extremely precious, capable of purchasing a huge amount of items. As such, even in their entire history, the highest amount of debt a person had ever owed them was a mere 2,000 credits. That was a debt someone had incurred to prepare for theing event. Ultimately, that person had been able to defeat the enemy in theing event, bringing theirpany great profit.

    As for Chen Feng...

    Ruo Shui tried calcting what Chen Feng currently owed them. Three zeroes, four zeroes, five zeroes, six zeroes...

    Hold on. What in the world, it reached seven figures?!

 Chapter 583: Charge, Charge, Charge!

    Chapter 583: Charge, Charge, Charge!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Ten million! By himself, Chen Feng had taken out a loan of ten million credits!

    "Has this guy gone crazy?" Ruo Shui did not dare to believe this. How much was ten million credits? It was sufficient to buy even a small town. How many treasured herbs had this fellow bought to be in so much debt? One ought to know that surviving each event would grant one only several thousand credits. The amount Chen Feng owed, plus the interest... Was this guy nning to spend his entire life paying this debt?

    Ruo Shui was rmed. The entirepany was shocked. Even if Chen Feng would be more powerful in the next event the more he improved himself and the ultimate profit he brought would belong to theirpany, thus putting them in a position where they would not suffer any losses, this was still too risky an investment. This sum...

    "What to do?"

    Just as they were all discussing this...

    Shua!

    Suddenly, the seven figures indicated on their screen started flickering rapidly before settling on eight figures.

    ??

    Ruo Shui was dumbfounded. Everyone in thepany was dumbfounded. Eight... eight figures? They were all stupefied. Was the difference between seven figures and eight figures only a single zero? No, that was an investment of ten times the amount, an amount one shouldn¡¯t even hope to finish spending.

    Ruo Shui almost lost his voice. "Fast, lock his ount." What exactly was that fellow nning? They all gnashed their teeth. They suspected that this guy was nning to plunder their riches before escaping or something like that. However, through their observation, they noted that Chen Feng was indeed immersed in painstaking training. The resources hadn¡¯t been sent elsewhere. They had all been sent to Chen Feng and used by him. No traces of any item transfers could be found.

    "What now?"

    "There¡¯s really someone capable of swallowing this many materials?"

    "No idea. Theoretically, the amount of energy each person can absorb within a certain time frame is limited. After all, if one¡¯s energy is increased excessively, it might be unstable, leading to an ident. Yet this Chen Feng..."

    They exchanged nces.

    "Do you all still remember Chen Feng¡¯s strength back then?" someone asked suddenly.

    "You are saying..."

    "That¡¯s right. When he first arrived, he was even weaker. However, he progressed rapidly during the event, and finally, when he exited the event world, his strength was more than ten times stronger than when he had first arrived."

    Their hearts thumped. Wasn¡¯t this the truth? If so, after Chen Feng absorbed so many resources...

    "Seems like ourpany is going to create yet another legend."

    All their hearts thumped.

    An investment of ten million credits was thergest investment theirpany had ever made. Although this had happened identally, if they were able to make use of this properly... this would also be their chance to earn their biggest profit yet.

    "How about Chen Feng¡¯s credits?"

    "Freeze his ount."

    The rest of them red at the one who had asked the question. What in the world, was eight figures not high enough? Although they sounded rather confident, in fact, the only reason they had allowed this to happen was because Chen Feng had acted too fast; they hadn¡¯t been able to stop him. Now, they would not allow Chen Feng to continue squandering their resources like that. Resources worth ten million should be sufficient for Chen Feng to enter a new realm.

    This was how all of them thought. s, they never could have guessed that all the resources had not been used by Chen Feng to increase his strength. Instead, he had wasted all the resources. One experiment, two experiments, three experiments, never-ending experiments.

    The difficulty of researching S ss and breaking through into S ss had far surpassed Chen Feng¡¯s imagination. The fact that his research was focused on pushing one who had yet to enter S ss into S ss caused his research to be even harder.

    Ten experiments, a hundred experiments, a thousand experiments...

    Chen Feng became crazy. It reached a point where he was already numb to failure. This continued until one moment when a crisp sound echoed. This familiar yet moving sound reached him, yet he did not even notice it. Just as he was about to subconsciously discard this experiment and start a new one, he nked. That sound...

    Slowly, his gaze swept past the gene reagent before him, and his expression froze. This... Suddenly, an overjoyed expression appeared on his face. Seeded! He had finally seeded!

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance swirled around. The gene reagent before him seemed to contain endless power.

    "I have truly seeded..." Chen Feng muttered. It had been a very long time since he hadst experienced such a feeling. Prior to this, with his cheat-like Luck Aura, he had been able to easily crush all other producers in terms of gene production until he had finally been able to gain ownership over the entire Gene Production Association.

    And now, without Luck Aura assisting him, he had been able to once again experience what "excitement" truly meant. Six days! Over ten million credits! Finally, in the final moments before his next event, he had seeded!

    ----

    XX Fusion Gene Reagent

    ss: S

    Function: Unknown.

    Effect: Unknown.

    ----

    This was histest research result. Without luck value doing the estimations for him, without the database of the gic world to be referred, even Chen Feng himself was not aware of what he had just created. However, at the very least, he could confirm that this was indeed a fusion gene reagent.

    Tick! Tock!

    Time passed without stop. Chen Feng inhaled deeply and braced himself. Did he have any other option?

    Gulp!

    Without hesitation, he swallowed the gene reagent.

    Bang!

    Instantly, terrifying energy erupted within his body.

    Bang! Bang!

    That tiny bottle of liquid transformed into frightening energy. It was boundless, akin to a tsunami raging thorough Chen Feng¡¯s body, shining with a wanton splendor.

    Pu!

    Chen Feng coughed up a mouthful of blood.

    Bang! Bang!

    Booming explosions reverberated all throughout his body, as if a cksmith was using a hammer to temper his body unceasingly, pounding upon his heart without stop.

    Pu! Pu!

    His blood veins all ruptured, his blood sttering everywhere.

    "Ah, ah, ah¡ª"

    Chen Feng used the energy to forcefully bind his sttering blood.

    Right now, his entire body was translucent, like a body sculpted from diamond. Every single one of his blood veins had ruptured, but they were being forcefully kept together with energy. He was in a rather dreadful condition.

    Damn it.

    His heart chilled. He had still underestimated how terrifying the process of breaking through into S ss was. After all, A ss was the limit of humanity, a bottleneck nobody had surpassed before. He had initially believed that no human had ever reached that realm due to ack of S-ss genes. s, it seemed like the human body itself was incapable of supporting such power.

    S ss was simply too terrifyingly powerful. Even a tiny drop of S-ss energy would be sufficient to blow up Chen Feng¡¯s body. He felt like his present body was like a huge inted balloon that was on the verge of exploding. The S-ss energy within his body expanded without stop, almost unable to be suppressed.

    Bang! Bang!

    He could feel some of the veins within his body popping apart.

    "Damn it."

    He smiled bitterly. At this moment, he was iparably thankful that he had fused with the giant elephant gene. Although this gene had not granted him a rather huge improvement inbat power, at the very least, his body quality had been improved to A ss. Otherwise, the instant he had swallowed the S-ss fusion gene reagent, his body would have exploded.

    Even so... how long could hest?

    Shua! Shua!

    His body was processing the energy without stop. Unfortunately, the S-ss energy was too terrifying, far surpassing the level Chen Feng could absorb. As such, Chen Feng¡¯s body seemed to be heading in a rather bleak direction...

 Chapter 584: Strengthening!

    Chapter 584: Strengthening!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    What to do? Chen Feng¡¯s brain spun rapidly. Luck value? Probabilities? He had once used his luck value during gene strengthening to reduce the pain,pleting his transformation in advance. However, this would be of no help here, as this was not a situational strengthening he was undergoing, a process where he could decide on the sequence in which his body was strengthened. Rather, this current process he was undergoing was an overall strengthening, the strengthening of his entire person.

    His body, his consciousness, his heart, all his organs, all energy-generating sources, everything was undergoing a transformation. Chen Feng felt his body inting, and this was only a part of what he was feeling. His heart still felt like it was being pounded by a hammer, almost forcing him to spit blood. What damnable experience was this?

    Bang! Bang!

    His heart thumped and his consciousness boomed. The amount of energy in his body was terrifyingly high, giving him a feeling as if death wouldn¡¯t be worse than being alive. He had a feeling that in the next moment, his body would swell to the point of implosion.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Once again, his body seemed to increase in size. At present, Chen Feng was at the most crucial moment, and his mind never stopped working as he pondered without stop, looking for a way to survive this. Regardless of how much energy he had in him, he had to look for a method of exhaust it all.

    Release the excess energy? Right, God Punisher!

    Bang!

    Instinctively, he released God Punisher.

    Shua!

    Instantly, a huge amount of energy was drained from his body.

    Chen Feng was overjoyed. "Nice." Indeed, the energy exhaustion of God Punisher was truly terrifying. Even in his present state, his energy would still reduce rapidly after the usage of God Punisher, bringing him near the bearable limit.

    s, before he could even bask in his happiness, he could feel the movement of time, and suddenly, his body swelled, nearly imploding.

    Shit, this Time Quicksand...

    The activation of Time Quicksand had brought him one second forward, rendering his activation of God Punisher meaningless. The energy he had exhausted during the activation earlier was even lower than the amount of energy he had replenished after that one-second skip. Unfortunately, Time Quicksand was contained within his God Punisher as well, and as such, he could not avoid releasing this ability.

    This damnable ability! Chen Feng smiled bitterly. He had never expected that a day woulde when this Time Quicksand would screw him instead. The energy that should have been exhausted by God Punisher was replenished by Time Quicksand just like that. Was this his retribution for using Time Quicksand to skip time too many times previously? Chen Feng sighed.

    Bang! Bang!

    Yet another boom erupted within his body.

    With this, his God Punisher, instead of exhausting his energy, had put him in an even more dangerous situation. He inhaled deeply and his eyes flickered without stop before suddenly, he gulped down a gene reagent. He had not nned to use this gene reagent, but now he had no choice but to rely on it. Since the odds of surviving with this were 50%, he would gamble on it.

    Hum¡ª

    Time seemed to stop at this instant. Right as Chen Feng consumed the gene reagent, the energy in his body increased instead of reducing. However, Chen Feng wasn¡¯t surprised by this development. Rather, his mind seemed to have an even clearer grasp on everything. The world before his eyes seemed to have slowed down. In truth, everything was still the same. What had changed was Chen Feng¡¯s speed of thought, which had been elerated greatly. However, it indeed gave him a feeling like time had stopped.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng waved his hand. All the spiritual energy was his tomand. He could even feel a sense of happiness from the spiritual energy as it approached him. Naturally, as the cost for being in such a wondrous state, the genes within Chen Feng¡¯s body were copsing at a rapid speed as well. What Chen Feng had consumed was precisely the aurora gene reagent.

    ----

    Effect: Spiritual affinity pushed to the maximum.

    Disadvantage: Rapidly copses one¡¯s genes.

    ----

    Shua! Shua!

    The genes within Chen Feng¡¯s body copsed rapidly. His hands, his legs, his head... His entire body seemed to be flickering. This was an extremely frightening situation. The previous Chen Feng had utilized his luck value to control the copse of his genes, limiting it to trash genes. But now he wasn¡¯t controlling the process at all.

    When a gene copsed, regardless of what gene it was, it would only flicker once. Yet now, the entirety of Chen Feng¡¯s body was flickering without stop. The copsed genes were immediately improved by this terrifying S-ss energy within Chen Feng¡¯s body, making these genes even stronger than their previous state. The S-ss gene reagent was presently transforming Chen Feng¡¯s body, updating his genes!

    Shua! Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s body went through numerous transformations, bing stronger and stronger.

    Even with this, the rate which energy appeared within his body still far surpassed the amount of energy he was exhausting. However, for the present Chen Feng with maximum spiritual affinity...

    Rise!

    He waved his hand. Under his control, the energy started moving. Consciousness! With this seemingly unlimited supply of energy, Chen Feng started recreating an even more powerful spiritual world for himself. Digitized world! With the endless energy supply, he constructed a huge world, filling his digitized world with boundless vitality.

    Heart...

    Dantian...

    He started personally redesigning his body as well. In this manner, the vast energy that had initially seemed to be spreading everywhere, the energy that had almost blown up his body, started operating in an orderly fashion. Mending, reinforcing, transforming. In this manner, finally, his energy gain and energy exhaustion reached a bnce of sorts.

    Stabilized.

    Chen Feng heaved a sigh of relief. However, this was merely the beginning. After three hours, after exhausting endless energy, his body finally transformed into the strongest state, to the maximum limit. Chen Feng was certain that all his organs and his entire body had reached the limit of humanity.

    He had initially focused on energy cultivation; the giant-elephant gene was the only ability he used to improve his physical body, pushing his body quality to that of an A ss. This time, though, he had been able to transform the entirety of his body to that of a peak beyond A ss.

    What did this signify, exactly? Without any energy, with his physical body alone, he would now be able to beat up a beyond A ss. That was how cheat-like his new body was. s, as Chen Feng saw the amount of energy in his body, he let off a bitter smile.

    The amount of damnable S-ss energy in his body was still going up instead of down. The moment the energy reached the limit, he would truly have no other ways of dealing with it. He had ultimately failed to cross that limit, the limit of A ss.

    If Chen Feng was able to break through the bottleneck and cross through the limit, he would only need to focus purely on fusing with the gene reagent and the process would bepleted easily. But now, since he was still stuck as a beyond A ss, he would have to rely on himself to deal with the excess S-ss energy. At present, his only options were to either break through into S ss or allow the S-ss energy to fill his body to the point of implosion.

    Body...

    Energy...

    Chen Feng contemted with a sharp gaze in his eyes.

    His entire being had already been pushed to the limit of humanity. Regardless of what he tried, he failed to break through the damnable bottleneck. In fact, he couldn¡¯t even locate that single point at which he could attempt to break through. After all, he had been an A ss for too short a time. He had attempted to reach S ss from B ss in such a short period of time. This single step was too huge, and now he was paying for it.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Chen Feng tried numerous times, yet nothing seemed to happen. His body and energy stopped transforming. Like a headless housefly, he charged all over randomly and watched on as the amount of energy in his body increased without stop, returning to the initial level prior to his transformation.

    Granted, the present Chen Feng who had been transformed had higher endurance and would be able tost longer now. However, if he could not break through in the shortest time possible, he would likely die by way of his body imploding.

    "What should I do, exactly?"

    His brain worked rapidly. He believed that he would be able to think of a solution.

    S ss...

    S ss...

    Spellbound, he sank into deep contemtion. Suddenly, a question popped into his brain. What exactly was it that made an S ss so powerful?

 Chapter 585: Transform

    Chapter 585: Transform

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    S ss was a wondrous realm. It seemedpletely different from A ss. Essentially, A ss was the evolution of B ss¡ªan improved B ss. This was true all the way from F ss to A ss. The core of it all was constant improvement. What about S ss, then? It was a transformation. Chen Feng could feel it clearly.

    As such, what was the superiority of this realmpared to others? Chen Feng thought back to the S ss he had encountered. That expert of the devil race had been capable of seriously injuring Li Lei with a single p. Was it purely because of his stronger physical prowess?

    Was it because of the S-ss body? Not quite so. It was not possible for a physical body alone to be so powerful. Was it energy, then? Chen Feng thought back and recalled that when that had happened, no traces of energy had been visible. Was it possible for that big shot devil to not even have something like energy? That was not possible.

    Why, then? There was also the S-ss beast he had killed using Xiao Ying and the maphack back then. Although he had maintained a huge distance from that beast and hadn¡¯t sensed the power of that S ss personally, he had been able to see that while that beast had continued struggling and changing, it had still never unleashed any energy that seemed excessively powerful. And yet its body had truly been astonishingly terrifying.

    Each time its body had been reconstructed, Xiao Ying had been on the verge of being instantly killed. If not for Xiao Ying¡¯s ability to travel at will between the illusory world and the physical world, he would have been crushed directly by the internal organs of that S-ss beast. That was how terrifying an S ss was.

    In short, both the S-ss devil and the S-ss beast specialized in the cultivation of their physical body? That was evidently untrue. Suddenly, Chen Feng thought of a possibility. Perhaps, in the realm of S ss, there was no such distinction between one cultivating either their physical body or their energy. Instead, both were lumped together. Flesh equaled energy. Energy equaled flesh. If that was the case...

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze became sharp. With thest of his consciousness, he controlled the energy within him.

    Bang!

    Just as this thought shed past Chen Feng¡¯s mind, his body started imploding as the S-ss energy within his body erupted.

    Bang! Bang!

    The terrifying energy swept everywhere. With astonishment, Chen Feng watched on as his body was reduced into nothingness amid the boundless energy. Surprisingly, his consciousness remained.

    I¡¯m not dead? Oh, I didn¡¯t die.

    With astonishment, Chen Feng looked at himself in a state of nothingness. At present, his physical body had transformed into numerous light particles. Surprisingly, these particles did not vanish. Rather, like fireworks, they swirled around, taking on a spherical shape before starting to absorb the energy previously in Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    That¡¯s right. The powerful energy was being absorbed. The energy that Chen Feng couldn¡¯t fully digest no matter what had actually been fully absorbed by the light particles. Those particles might look feeble, but they were able to easily absorb the energy.

    After a long time, the boundless energy vanished, leaving behind only those light particles that were hovering in midair akin to stars. Chen Feng¡¯s eyes widened. He no longer had a physical body. As such, he could only look on with amazement, watching these particles and sensing this state of nothingness he was in with curiosity.

    What¡¯s... going on with me?

    Chen Feng had no idea. Was he going to stay in this state forever? Mhm... if so, was he still alive or dead? He couldn¡¯t find an answer to that.

    Perhaps... I can still move?

    Chen Feng tried moving using his consciousness.

    Shua!

    Surprisingly, the light particles actually moved ording to his will.

    Wow!

    Chen Feng looked on with astonishment.

    "In short, this is my new body?"

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. He wondered if he would ever be able to transform back into a human. The thought of this rose subconsciously in his mind.

    Shua.

    Just as this thought appeared in his mind, all the light particles startedbining, condensing, and shining with a faint radiance. Instantly, a brand-new body was constructed.

    This...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes widened. He lowered his head and gazed at his hands and his body. Everything seemedpletely the same as before. He was back! Energy equaled flesh, flesh equaled energy!

    Could it be...

    He waved his hand instinctively.

    Transform! he urged inwardly.

    Shua!

    Instantly, his right hand vanished into nothingness, transforming into countless light particles, yet when Chen Feng set his senses forth, he could sense every single light particle. Each particle was part of him.

    Condense! he urged.

    Shua!

    The light particles assembled together, reconstructing his right hand.

    Hiss¡ª

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. So this was what S ss was all about? Finally, he understood how lucky he was to have been able to kill that S-ss beast with his maphack. If not for the unique environment that he had been making use of, if not for Xiao Ying... killing that beast would have been impossible. An S-ss body was in fact an undying body.

    "This body..."

    Chen Feng clenched his fists tightly. An explosive energy could be felt within his body. That was the power of S ss. He punched out, and an S-ss force exuded from his fast. This was not purely physical power, nor was this purely energy. Rather, this was abination of the two. This S-ss realm had, in an ingenious manner, melded both powers together perfectly. From now on, there was no flesh, there was no energy. The only thing that remained was thebination of the two. This was what S ss was.

    Bang!

    A single punch from Chen Feng caused space itself to tremble.

    The effect of this single punch of his was apparent. Even the flow of time slowed as space slowly tore apart from his punch. As he retracted his hand, the tear in space began to slowly close up. This was merely the result of a single casual punch. It was truly rather astonishing.

    "A random punch is already as powerful as a 5-star or a 6-star secret art?"

    Chen Feng was speechless. Only now did he have an inkling of how powerful he had be. What about his gic abilities, then? He raised his hand. Light started swirling around.

    Wind de!

    Whoosh!

    An azure Wind de appeared and hovered midair.

    "It looks rather ordinary?" Chen Feng muttered. This Wind de looked the same as it had before, so very nd. Chen Feng aimed at a random piece of furniture in front of him. Noiselessly, the Wind de drifted over.

    Mhm...

    Just like that, the de drifted past the furniture. That¡¯s right, drifted. It merely drifted past the furniture. There was no explosion, there was no overflowing energy. Just like that, noiselessly and easily, the de shed through the furniture before continuing on its merry way, shing through the wall and reaching the room next door. Silence prevailed until suddenly, a mournful scream resounded from the room next door.

    "Ah! Chen Feng, you asshole! Holy shit, luckily I have a high sense of vignce! What the hell, if I was a tiny bit slower, my Kong family line would have ended here... Ah, shit, it has indeed been injured. It hurts! F*ck, thest time I experienced such pain was during my circumcision back then. Screw you, Chen Feng!" Kong Bai¡¯s mournful screams resounded without stop.

    Chen Feng wiped his sweat. He had indeed slowed the speed of his Wind de, ensuring that it wouldn¡¯t hurt anyone. However, he had never expected that this Wind de he had casually sent out would be so powerful. Back then, before he had broken through into S ss, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to cause any sort of damage to the room here even after using his full power. Yet now...

    Chen Feng gazed at his hands. Finally, he understood how terrifying S ss was.

    Kong Bai limped over from the room next door with a darkened expression. "Chen Feng!"

    Chen Feng wiped his sweat. "Sorry."

    Kong Bai was furious. "You nearly castrated me!"

    "It¡¯s not like you have any opportunities to use it anyway..." Chen Feng muttered.

    Kong Bai red at him. "What did you said?"

    "No... nothing." Chen Fengughed it off.

    Kong Bai snorted. "Hmph." Only now did he realize that his surroundings seemed somewhat different. After seeing the hole left in the wall, finally, he realized the reason the Wind de had appeared out of nowhere in his room. Instantly, his head cooled and his anger evaporated.

    This wall...

    That Wind de...

    Kong Bai¡¯s eyes widened. "Could it be?"

    "Hehe." Chen Feng bashfully stated, "I have broken through."

    "Holy shit!" Kong Bai eximed in admiration.

 Chapter 586: Awakened

    Chapter 586: Awakened

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    S ss. This was an extremely wondrous realm. If Chen Feng were to start researching the energy of S ss now, he would have to start from scratch. It would take an unknown amount of time toplete. As such, he had no choice but to put this matter aside for now. What was the first thing he should do now that he had broken through into S ss? Leave this ce!

    Chen Feng was not willing to stay here like some circus monkey. As such, after familiarizing himself with his new S-ss power, his first course of action was to leave this ce, to gain greater understanding of this Twin Horns World before looking for a means of leaving this world altogether.

    s...

    Two minutes after leaving his room, Chen Feng returned in silence. The reason? In these short two minutes, numerous auras with a strength simr to his own could be felt.

    S ss. All of them were S sses. This was actually a ce with so many S sses. It was at this point that Chen Feng gained a clear understanding of the level of this world. This was actually a world where S sses were everywhere. From what he had found out by asking around in an indirect manner, these people were called "awakened."

    This was an extremely mystical world. Here, one could advance from F ss to A ss through natural growth alone. Even a fatty nerd would be able to reach A ss by way of natural growth. This was a phase with no bottlenecks whatsoever.

    As such, those spectators, those roaring upper-ss women, nearly all of them were peak beyond A sses. Yet in this world, such people were meremoners. Here, true warriors were the awakened. It was rumored that within the horns of the twin horns race was an astonishing amount of energy. Only those capable ofprehending the energy contained within could be awakened.

    Here, an awakened would be the equivalent of humanity¡¯s S ss. Each of them had astounding strength. With their powerful strength, they were the true masters of this world.

    "Awakened..." Chen Feng smiled bitterly. This damnable Twin Horns World.

    "In short, those horns are the reason they can advance from F ss to A ss through natural growth alone?" Kong Bai was awed. "Their twin horns will naturally absorb energy from their surroundings, constantly purifying the energy and improving one¡¯s strength. Holy shit, are these fellows Teletubbies?"

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. It did not need to be discussed whether these were Teletubbies. However, the strength of these fellows was indeed frightening. Chen Feng checked his body. His luck value was still growing. After entering S ss, the speed his luck value umted at had not increased. However, thanks to the huge growth in the strength of his spiritual energy, Spirit had be stronger as well.

    Now, Spirit¡¯s optimization was even better than before. Chen Feng¡¯s current luck value had initially been insufficient for him to leave this world, but now, after the upgrade in Spirit¡¯s optimization capabilities, this amount was sufficient.

    However...

    Shua!

    Kong Bai tried transmigrating. It failed.

    That¡¯s right. He failed. This was the first time this had ever happened. Even he himself was utterly shocked.

    "This might be rted to this ce." Chen Feng looked around. Their living quarters were surrounded by a unique power. Since this ce was initially used for transmigration research, to avoid the transmigrators they summoned going somewhere else, all the rooms here were surrounded by a unique energy. Only within the arena would transmigrators arrive. Simrly, that was also the only ce where they could hope to transmigrate away.

    "Seems like we will have to join one of their events."

    Chen Feng checked the time. It was almost time for their show.

    ...

    On the next day, when Chen Feng and Kong Bai reached the arena, the entire crowd boiled. With their cheers thundering everywhere, this was the arena for transmigrators to showcase their prowess. Ruo Shui, the host, was currently livening up the mood there. In fact, the higher-ups of theirpany had secretly investigated the unique energy undtion that had appeared the day before. Next, they had discovered that a hole had appeared in the wall between Chen Feng¡¯s rooms and Kong Bai¡¯s.

    "???"

    When they had gone over, they had seen that Kong Bai¡¯s clothing seemed rather messy and had vague traces of blood.

    "???"

    "When did this hole appear?"

    "Last night."

    "In short, Chen Feng sted a hole in the wallst night to have a secret date with Kong Bai?"

    Shua!

    Theypsed into silence.

    Here, everyone had an individual room that was separated from the others. They were aware that Chen Feng and Kong Bai were close, but then, weren¡¯t they somewhat too intimate?

    "Shouldn¡¯t we be focusing on the fact that Chen Feng could actually create a hole in the wall instead?" one person asked with a bitter smile. Each of the rooms was incredibly sturdy, and when required, the rooms themselves could be locked down to prevent the transmigrators from escaping. Yet now, Chen Feng had been able to st a hole through their wall...

    "That¡¯s normal. These few days, he has been absorbing so much energy. It isn¡¯t weird for him to have been able to st a wall there. What I care about more is his rtionship with Kong Bai..."

    "I initially believed that they were merely ordinary friends. Now, though..."

    "After this, give them a warning to not let any sex scandals leak. Make sure they keep their desires in check during the event. After all, a majority of their present fans are female. If those fans find out that these two are actually..."

    "Sigh."

    Their heads ached. They had never expected that just as they had decided to invest in Chen Feng, something like this would crop up. At this time, a message from Ruo Shui arrived.

    "Time¡¯s up."

    "All right. Get them to enter, then. With Chen Feng¡¯s present strength, it won¡¯t be a problem for him to survive this event. However, we must still find some way to make their adventure more thrilling..."

    "Mhm, only this will keep the audience excited."

    "Understood."

    The various departments of the arena started operating. Under their request, Chen Feng and Kong Bai entered the arena. Light swirled around them. A new adventure was about to begin. To maintain the sense of realism, once a transmigrator was killed, the transmigrator would remain dead. In any case, the transmigrators weren¡¯t the original inhabitants of this world anyway.

    Bang!

    Light swirled around. A new world started. The audiences started their discussions.

    "Hopefully, they will bring us something different this time," one upper-ss woman stated.

    Their monotonous lifestyle bored them greatly. As such, only the excitement brought upon by prospects of life and death could attract them due to the brutish battles to be viewed here, due to the blood that would be spilled.

    "Yeah." A different personmented, "The previous race that transmigrated over here did notst long at all."

    "Hehe. If Chen Feng can survive this event, I will be his sugar mommy for one full year," stated a heavily overweight upper-ss woman.

    A different person sneered. "Hmph, do you think you will even have an opportunity for that?"

    In this manner, the audience discussed without stop.

    Their favorite was alien males, as these alien males could bring them an entirely different experience. An example would be the previous elephant race whose ding dongs had been on their heads instead. There had also been a particr silver snake race whose heads had been on their ding dongs; they had also given the women here quite a wondrous experience. This caused the women here to be in awe over the majesty of the Creator.

    "It¡¯s starting."

    They all focused on the arena.

    Bang!

    A bright radiance erupted. Instantly, the world transformed.

    ...

    "A new world, huh?"

    Chen Feng stretched his hand out and cast his senses out, feeling up this wondrous world. Previously, he had only been aware that they had transmigrated here and had not been aware that this was in fact a created world. Now that they were aware that this was a created world, they would naturally be interested in studying this world. s, their observations showed that everything in this created world was real.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng waved his hand casually. He could feel the energy pervading the air. Everything created within this Arena of Life and Death was exactly the same as reality, including the orbit of energy. This ce was no different than the real world.

    Chen Feng and Kong Bai exchanged nces, shock apparent in their eyes. For the present humanity, regardless of their augmented-reality or virtual-reality technology or the illusory abilities of gic warriors, none could reach such a level of realism. This was simply akin to the power of a god of creation.

    This arena was evidently much more mysterious than they had imagined. The same moment the both of them entered this world, the distant life-forms seemed to awaken as well. Numerous auras locked onto Chen Feng and Kong Bai.

    Bang!

    The earth shook. Numerous life forms charged ferociously at them.

    "Here ites."

    Chen Feng sank into a solemn mood. Before entering, the person in charge had informed them of the contents of this event. If the contents of the event they were in when they had first transmigrated were ssified as an adventure, then the words "fleeing for life" could be used to describe the contents of this event, an event where they had to flee and survive amidst the pursuit of numerous mutated beasts.

 Chapter 587: Transmigrate!

    Chapter 587: Transmigrate!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Go."

    Without hesitation, Chen Feng brought Kong Bai along and started fleeing.

    Bang! Bang!

    Booming explosions resounded without stop. The entire audience cheered in a crazed fashion. This was the type of near-death scene they enjoyed the most. As for Chen Feng and Kong Bai, they endured silently as they kept looking for an opportunity. They had to look for the most opportune moment to make their move.

    Kong Bai¡¯s transmigration was a wondrous and powerful ability. Under normal circumstances, nobody could even hope of stopping them. However, this was a world where transmigration was a researched topic. With transmigration as the core, this arena had been created, an arena forcing transmigrators to be participants of their reality show.

    As such, Chen Feng and Kong Bai did not dare to be careless. This transmigration was their only chance of leaving this world. Kong Bai had to ensure that the transmigration would only proceed when nobody of this world noticed it.

    Bang! Bang!

    The earth shook. Chen Feng¡¯s gaze swept past the beasts chasing after them. Thanks to thebat history of Chen Feng, the strength of these beasts had been obviously increased by quite a bit. Even the weakest of them were at peak beyond A ss. Among the beasts chasing after them, three of them were S ss.

    "Shit." Chen Feng cursed and continued running for his dear life. At this time, the spectators were all enjoying the show. Despite this, Ruo Shui¡¯s eyes remained narrowed, as he had an odd feeling. Why was this Chen Feng fellow not fighting back at all? They were clear on Chen Feng¡¯s strength. He had already been rather strong previously, and now he had even absorbed so many of their resources by going into debt. One could say that apart from the awakened, this Chen Feng fellow could defeat all opponents. Even if he couldn¡¯t defeat the awakened ones, he should not have any problem defeating normal beasts. But yet... nothing happened. He kept fleeing without stop.

    From the start when the regr beasts appeared until the end when the awakened beasts appeared, this guy ran without stop, not even sparing the chasing beasts a look. This seemed rather odd...

    "Should he not first kill those regr beasts before trying to get rid of the awakened beasts?"

    Some of them could not understand Chen Feng¡¯s actions. If they recalled correctly, this was what Chen Feng had done previously. To first get rid of the weaker ones, then slowly weakening the stronger one before ultimately killing it. This was also the reason Chen Feng and Kong Bai had earned so many points from their previous event¡ªbecause of their hegemonic ways, because they had been strong enough to act in such a way.

    This time, though... Chen Feng was only fleeing. This might cause him to lose a serious number of fans.

    "What is this guy doing?"

    Ruo Shui could not even know what to say in hismentary anymore.

    "Give him some time," a higher-up stated faintly. "Perhaps, he has some new ideas about to what to do. Have you forgotten how he killed the awakened beastst time?"

    The rest nodded as they heart this. "True."

    Their gazes returned to the arena. Chen Feng was still fleeing. Regardless of whether the enemies were strong or weak, he did not make a single move against them. The number of beasts chasing after them became higher and higher... Truthfully, toward this, Chen Feng felt quite helpless. It wasn¡¯t that he did not want to make a move against them. However, he couldn¡¯t do so.

    S ss was a bizarre realm. There were no new genes or abilities. The entirety of his power had seemingly blended together at the moment of his breakthrough, reducing everything he¡¯d had in the past to nothingness. In this realm, each move he made would be much more powerful than the previous him, akin to a transformation of his very being.

    One could say that an S ss operated in an entirely different way than an A ss. Perhaps using the term "awakened" to describe this realm, as the people of this world did, would be more apt? Chen Feng smiled bitterly. He had yet to fully grasp his present strength. Moreover, his understanding of the power of S ss was still too shallow. If he tried to forcefully use an S-ss power before even understanding it and was found out... they would lose their single chance of escape.

    Since these fellows had yet to discover Chen Feng¡¯s breakthrough into S ss, this was his one and only chance to escape this world. He was certain that the moment he used an ability, with so many gazes on him, someone would most definitely discover that he had already entered S ss. At that time, things would truly be troublesome. Therefore, before they could leave, Chen Feng had to endure.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    After setting aside a portion of his luck value for the transmigration, the rest was fully activated. With this, both he and Kong Bai were able to, in a lucky and coincidental fashion, keep dodging the encirclement of the beasts.

    Along the way, numerous beyond A sses appeared without stop. Even with Chen Feng ignoring them, the newly appeared beasts started chasing after them, following tightly behind them. The group chasing after Chen Feng and Kong Bai increased in size without stop. As for the S-ss beasts, they were getting nearer.

    Bang! Bang!

    Now, Chen Feng could already feel their breath.

    He looked at Kong Bai. "Are you not done yet?"

    Kong Bai smiled bitterly. "I found it, but..."

    Within the defense mechanism put in ce against transmigration that enveloped the arena, he had found a spot where they could leave. That was a spot where space could be split to leave this ce. However, he needed time to do that.

    "I need time to open that spot with force. We will only be able to leave after a hole of sufficient size is opened in this transmigration preventer. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous for us to transmigrate directly," Kong Bai exined with a solemn expression.

    "How long do you need?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Three seconds," Kong Bai stated.

    Three seconds...

    Chen Feng nced at the beasts chasing after them. From their entry into this ce, they hadn¡¯t dared to stop running. Only a second of pause would be required for these beasts to tear them apart. Three seconds? They would most probably die in one single second.

    "All right."

    Chen Feng¡¯s mind worked rapidly. At times like this, he could only give it his all. And thus, after leading those beasts on for a while, after a huge majority of the beasts were gathered together, when even the spectators started doubting Chen Feng¡¯s actions... they stopped running.

    Hum¡ª

    Without hesitation, Kong Bai activated his ability immediately.

    Shua!

    A faint radiance started flickering.

    Mhm?

    The higher-ups of the arena were the first to feel something odd. This familiar power... Some of them had already locked on to Kong Bai. However, just as their attentionnded on Kong Bai, abruptly, an astonishing power that they were all familiar with erupted from Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    Bang!

    A terrifying shockwave swept out as Chen Feng activated his power.

    Their expressions changed abruptly. "This is..."

    Awakened! This Chen Feng had awakened!

    "God."

    They were all shocked.

    One ought to know that countless transmigrators had appeared here before, yet none of them had ever reached this level. Not a single awakened had ever appeared among the transmigrators. They had even believed that perhaps the awakened realm was something exclusive to the twin horns race. After all, in their eyes, all the transmigrators were from inferior species. The transmigrators were merely performers in this arena, no different than animals in a zoo. Yet now...

    Bang!

    Chen Feng finally moved.

    Bang!

    God! Punisher!

    Once again, the power of an S ss bloomed. Time Quicksand appeared, pushing Chen Feng¡¯s God Punisher one second into the future. Next, the strongest attack he had ever unleashed in his entire life shot out of his hand.

    Bang!

    The earth shook. The Arena of Life and Death that had remained still for so many years started trembling as well. Soon, the radiance faded. When everyone¡¯s gazesnded on the arena, their eyes widened. Blocked! That powerful beast army had beenpletely blocked by Chen Feng¡¯s attack. Not all the beasts were dead, but they were clearly in a somewhat bad shape, those three awakened beasts included.

    "How powerful."

    This was the first thing everyone there felt. They had watched numerous such shows before, but never before had they seen a transmigrator dare to face an awakened beast head on. Moreover, Chen Feng had faced three of them and a huge number of other beasts all at the same time.

    "We are going to earn big this time!"

    This was the first reaction of Ruo Shui and the rest. How much of a profit could an awakened transmigrator make them? The mere thought caused them to shudder. If...

    s, Chen Feng only required three seconds. One second had gone by as the beasts charged at them. Yet another second had gone by as God Punisher bloomed. And the final second was spent stunning everyone present with his feat of stopping all the beasts.

    From the start till the end, everyone there only had a single second of time to think. Before they could even think of anything else, before their brains even caught on to what was happening...

    Shua!

    Kong Bai started shining brightly. An aura they were all iparably familiar with erupted.

    "That is..."

    "Not good."

    The expressions of everyone there changed.

    Chapter 588: Above the Starry Sky

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Transmigration! It was actually transmigration! This was a power they were all too familiar with. Everyone there was shocked. All the transmigrators they had encountered before had been people who had entered a spatial current by ident and had ended up wandering about the void before being captured by this world to be used as puppets. Someone with a transmigration ability like Kong Bai had never appeared before. It hadn¡¯t even crossed their mind that this was a possibility.

    Hold on, something as rare as transmigration was a power one could actually control? This was a power even they couldn¡¯t control!

    "Stop them, hurry!"

    Bang!

    Space exploded. Numerous powerful enemies appeared. Awakened was a realm with a wondrous power system. In this world where awakened ones were everywhere, Chen Feng did not dare to act wantonly. As such, he had been maintaining utmost caution even when transmigrating.

    Time Quicksand...

    Among all the abilities contained within his God Punisher, only Time Quicksand was unleashed. With the three seconds Kong Bai required, a single Time Quicksand would be sufficient. That was because even if the people there were to have any doubt about Kong Bai¡¯s action, they would still believe that he was merely unleashing some trump card instead of transmigrating away.

    Therefore, these three seconds in which Kong Bai was activating his ability were actually the safest period for the both of them. As for the truly dangerous moment, it was after the eruption of Kong Bai¡¯s ability, when they were on the verge of transmigrating. This was the world of awakened ones. The power level of this world far surpassed Chen Feng¡¯s understanding.

    Bang!

    Space cracked.

    The exact moment when Kong Bai was about to transmigrate away with Chen Feng, space seemed to freeze.

    An indifferent voice resounded. "Stay!" Next, the rate at which Kong Bai and Chen Feng were fading slowed down tremendously. Chen Feng was able to stop those beasts, he couldst three seconds against their onught, but facing the true awakened experts, he couldn¡¯t evenst one instant.

    Despite that, Chen Feng merely smiled calmly.

    I have been waiting a long time for you... Time Quicksand! Jump!

    Bang!

    A faint radiance swirled about. Chen Feng and Kong Bai vanished instantly. The time required toplete this transmigration had already been less than one second. With Time Quicksand bringing them one second into the future, this process was instantlypleted.

    Shua!

    Both of them vanished into thin air.

    Bang!

    The energy attacking them lost its target, causing the space there to copse.

    "???"

    Gone?

    Everyone present stared nkly at the empty arena. They had never expected that someone would actually be capable of escaping this ce. Theypsed into silence. Even thementator, Ruo Shui, was keeping silent at this moment. Something like this... was no longer something they could get involved with.

    That was especially true since at thest moment, that senior had obviously acted. They had even been able to see both Chen Feng and Kong Bai locked in space, yet they had still left, not leaving any trace behind.

    After a long time, a silhouette of light appeared out of thin air.

    All of them knelt on the floor. "Lord."

    The lord ignored them all, silently regarding the direction in which Kong Bai and Chen Feng had vanished. Ultimately, his gazended on the exact spot where they had transmigrated away.

    Here...

    His hand reached out, touching the space there.

    "This power..."

    Shock appeared in his eyes. During that final moment, they had obviously disyed a power that far surpassed their present level¡ªthe power of time!

    "How is that possible!?" he howled. "The rules of time are something even we can¡¯t grasp, yet those two..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s world was extremely weak. This was apparent by observing Chen Feng and Kong Bai. Yet it was truly unexpected that these two fellows from a weak world actually had a grasp on such a high-level power. Apart from this... He took a deep sniff of the air.

    "I can smell traces of other powers."

    Hepsed into a trance.

    What those two had used earlier was as simple as some power of time. He could even feel a peculiar power not weaker than time, a power far surpassing Chen Feng¡¯s and Kong Bai¡¯s level.

    "Chen Feng... Kong Bai..."

    He sank into contemtion.

    The higher-ups of the arena rushed over. "Lord."

    "Seal this ce up," he stated coldly.

    "???"

    They were all dumbstruck as they heard this. Seal this ce? But then, this was a ce that brought them great profit! This was the venue of the most popr reality show in this world, a show with off-the-charts ratings!

    "Lord." The higher-ups there were not resigned to this. "We can¡¯t..."

    "This is an order," the lord spat.

    "I disagree." The higher-ups of the arena were furious. "Why is it that we must seal it just because you say so? Even if you are the apostle..."

    Pu!

    Lightly, the apostle waved his hand. A cold gleam shed out, and next, a round head could be seen rolling on the ground.

    "Since you are aware that I am the apostle, have you forgotten what it is that I can do?" the apostle stated indifferently. An intense smell of blood pervaded the air, and the entire arenapsed into silence. Everyone there trembled.

    "Arena of Life and Death? Entertainment? Hehe. Seal it." His gazended on the point of transmigration, and he stated coldly, "Protect this arena properly. This incident is much graver than you all can imagine."

    **

    Amid the starry sky, a faint blue radiance was shining. Countless huge battleships were streaking away from the, each of them flickering with numerous lights. These were vis of sorts in the shape of ships that were being used by the rich to escape the devils and ancients. At present, humanity was already used to these ships.

    Suddenly, a noiseless shockwave shed past.

    Bang!

    Countless battleships exploded instantly. Those huge battleships copsed noiselessly before ultimately transforming into numerous particles that dissipated in outer space.

    The intense vibrations were seemingly trying to show the terrible incident that these battleships had experienced, yet here in outer space, no sound whatsoever was transmitted out, akin to a mime¡¯s performance.

    Hum¡ª

    All the battleships there were destroyed. From the extreme end, an icy-blue battleship appeared. The front portion of the battleship was transparent, and within, a throne could be vaguely seen. Above the throne, an imposing figure was seated.

    Casually, he leaned against the throne, seemingly in the midst of appreciating this colorful scene. His right hand, which was lightly knocking against the throne, was wearing a delicate diamond ring. The ring seemed to contain a boundless power.

    "Looks like it¡¯s almost done."

    He stood up and focused his gaze as he slowly rotated his ring. A huge screen appeared in front of him. On it, a countdown appeared. It could be seen that this countdown had been continuing for years. Yet now...

    Di!

    Di!

    The countdown continued on. At present, only 100 days were left.

    "A hundred days..." he muttered. Perhaps he could proceed with his n now.

    Shua!

    A faint radiance swirled around. Slowly, the blue battleship vanished, like it had never appeared in the first ce. As for the particles that filled outer space akin to blooming fireworks, they vanished after the initial splendor, seemingly celebrating the arrival of something. The starry sky appeared even deeper now.

 Chapter 589: For the Bigger Picture

    Chapter 589: For the Bigger Picture

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the Gic Union.

    All the staffers there were keeping silent in fear, their gazesnding asionally on the meeting room upstairs. asionally, sounds of dispute and intense energy undtions would spread out of that room, causing their hearts to feel petrified. How many times had this happened already? They couldn¡¯t even answer that. The moment the news of Chen Feng¡¯s death had been received, those people had begun arguing without stop, and they¡¯d been extremely agitated each time. As for nobodies like these staffers, they did not even dare to breathe too loudly in fear of the anger spreading toward them.

    "Xiao Li."

    "Ah?"

    "Send some refreshments inside."

    "Ah?"

    Thedy called Xiao Li was so scared that her legs weakened. Everyone within that room was a beyond A ss, and at present, those experts were all furious.

    "Forget it."

    The Logistics Department head shook his head. After giving it a thought, he decided to send the refreshments personally instead. However, just as he reached the door, he heard the intense argument and energy undtion from the room. He hesitated there before ultimately deciding against going in, putting the refreshments back where he had taken them.

    "Since they are all beyond A sses, I suppose they won¡¯t feel any thirst, right?"

    He was petrified because, just by being near the door, an intense killing intent could be felt from within the room. That¡¯s right. Rather than some energy undtion, what he felt was true killing intent. Good gracious. What were those people doing in that room exactly? If they were merely quarreling or discussing, it was fine. Why would killing intent appear? He had no idea, and he did not wish to know the answer either.

    "Remember. Do not approach that ce," he reminded everyone. Everyone in the Logistics Department nodded their head frantically. At present, a fight had almost broken out within the meeting room.

    "Let me repeat myself. Chen Feng¡¯s authority ought to be passed on to us," a person stated coldly.

    The deputy president rejected this notion firmly. "That is not possible."

    That person sneered. "We of the Qian family have offered our entire life to the Gic Union. This time, our Qian Chen was the one who apanied Chen Feng on this trip and was his secret guardian. Who could have guessed that Qian Chen would end up killed by Chen Feng instead?"

    "How are you guys sure that he was killed by Chen Feng?" the deputy president retorted.

    That person¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Within Qian Chen¡¯s body were traces of Chen Feng¡¯s energy. That energy... Don¡¯t tell me you can¡¯t recognize it yourself?"

    Qian Chen¡¯s death had angered all the members of the Qian family. Naturally, what was more important was the huge inheritance left behind now that Chen Feng was dead. Did he have any children or heirs? Nope. Who should be the rightful owner of this inheritance, then? The authority of the Gene Production Association and Gic Union... This was a shocking amount of authority.

    Therefore, after finding out about this, the Qian family had pushed the me onto Chen Feng without any hesitation. In any case, everyone there was already dead. They were free to make up any stories they wished. More importantly, on the bodies of Qian Chen and Si Fan, traces of Chen Feng¡¯s energy had been found. This was perfect. Chen Feng had betrayed humanity and killed Qian Chen and Si Fan...

    With this, it was within reason that Chen Feng¡¯s inheritance should be passed on to them as a form ofpensation. This was the reason their entire family had arrived here to force the Gic Union to make a decision. If this was handled properly, their family might even be the strongest family.

    The deputy president rubbed his head. "Damn it." The traces left at the training camp were too obvious. Even if he knew that those two hadn¡¯t been killed by Chen Feng, he couldn¡¯t prove it. Scene simtion? That would be useless. Thanks to Chen Feng having been there in person, no detection abilities worked. Chen Feng¡¯s aura was too unique. They had studied him and tried divining information about him countless times before, yet every single time, they had not been able to find anything. Abilities capable of truly monitoring or scouting Chen Feng seemed to not exist.

    Unfortunately, in their present circumstance, this disadvantaged them. Why had Chen Feng fought Qian Chen and Si Fan? What exactly had happened? With Chen Feng¡¯s death, this had be an unsolved mystery. Should they once again seek help from their president? The deputy president smiled bitterly at this thought. What had happened recently made him feel like he was in fact a puppet. No matter what, he wouldn¡¯t be able to make a decision and would have to keep asking the president for help.

    "This time, we want an answer."

    A huge number of Qian Chen¡¯s and Si Fan¡¯s family members had arrived this time. All of them were beyond A sses. As top families capable of grasping two of the spots in this training camp, it signified their prowess as a family. As such, the two were able to join hands and pressure the Gic Union this time. Naturally, the Gic Union would normally not be bothered with these two families. What the Gic Union truly feared were the hugework of alliance behind these two families.

    Although the Qian family was the one making a move this time, surprisingly, behind them was a huge alliance of families. If they couldn¡¯t handle this properly, a civil war would most certainly break out between humans. Had they forgotten what had happened to the ancient race when a civil war broke out? The only reason humans had even survived this long was due to the civil war within the ancient race, the strongest race of all.

    And now, would humans follow in the footsteps of the ancients? If this wasn¡¯t handled properly... The deputy president inhaled deeply as he thought about the consequences. What should he do? The Gic Union was still capable of suppressing this forcefully. However, with the ancient race and devil race looming about, he did not wish for humans to suffer more casualties. Moreover, recently, the ancient race had seemingly been itching to make a move against them.

    The person from the Qian family righteously stated, "For humanity, we do not wish to cause any trouble among fellow humans. However, regarding Chen Feng¡¯s betrayal and the death of our Qian family¡¯s heir, if there¡¯s no answer for this, how can we concentrate on battling the alien races? How would we dare to face those on our side with our backs? Hence, we respectfully request that Chen Feng is convicted of this crime to give justice to Qian Chen and Si Fan."

    This was the request of the Qian family. Truthfully, convicting Chen Feng of this crime and everything else was all bbering nonsense. If Chen Feng was truly convicted, wouldn¡¯t the authority he¡¯d once held be dered illegitimate? Who would assume ownership over the authority?

    "My pitiful child..."

    Even ck-and-white pictures of Qian Chen and Si Fan had been brought to the Gic Union.

    The deputy president: "..."

    He had truly underestimated how shameless these people could be. What should he do now? He nked. Qian Chen¡¯s and Si Fan¡¯s families were extremely powerful. If the Gic Union truly wanted to suppress them, the human race would most probably suffer as a result. Evidently, the two families were also aware of this. As such, they had taken this opportunity to threaten the Gic Union. Distantly, countless people were attentively listening in. The scouts from numerous families were all awaiting news here.

    The deputy president forced a smile. "The world will be plunged into chaos..." If this was peacetime, who would dare threaten the Gic Union this way?

    "Please wait a moment." He tried to contact the president. Unfortunately, no connection was established.

    Due to the constant appearances of experts, including even an S ss among the devils, the president was presently working hard to break through into S ss and had severed all connections with the outside world. As for matters pertaining to the Gic Union, the president had only left one word behind prior to his seclusion: "stability."

    No matter what, maintaining stability was the priority. Before the devils and ancients invaded, nothing could be allowed to go wrong among humans.

    The deputy president sighed. "Seems like I have no other option." He gazed at the spokesperson of the two families. Behind them, the shadows of numerous families could be vaguely seen. The deputy president took in a deep breath. "Since this is the case, I hereby dere that..." The deputy president seemed somewhat lonesome as he uttered these words. The two spokesmen in front already had their heads raised high. They had finally won this argument that hadsted for ten-odd days. This was something nobody would have even dared think of doing previously. Indeed, fortune favored the brave.

    s, right as the deputy president was about to make his deration, a terrifying ray of light descended from the sky, smashing open a huge hole right in the Gic Union.

    Their expressions changed greatly. "Who is it?"

 Chapter 590: Such a Method of Operation Exists?

    Chapter 590: Such a Method of Operation Exists?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang!

    That sh of light descended andnded like a meteorite, crashing into the ground. The speed with which it moved was so fast that even the beyond A sses weren¡¯t able to react to it in time. They were given a fright by this sudden attack.

    "Who is it?"

    Their expressions changed. All the experts arrived at the crash site and surrounded that clump of light that had descended. However, when they arrived, the clump of light was no longer there. Instead, a familiar silhouette could be seen.

    Their eyes widened abruptly. "Chen Feng?"

    "You are still alive?"

    The deputy president was overjoyed. Since Chen Feng was still alive, things might not take a turn for the worse. No matter what happened, even if Chen Feng had indeed killed Qian Chen and Si Fan, so long as he made up some random excuse, the Gic Union would dare to stand by his side in full force. Chen Feng¡¯s existence was much more important for humanity than some random families.

    s, the deputy president wasn¡¯t the only one who started having second thoughts at the sight of Chen Feng. The families of Qian Chen and Si Fan exchanged nces and shivered. If Chen Feng was still alive...

    A shout resounded. "Chen Feng, you dare kill the heir of our Qian family?" Instantly, the people of the Qian family moved against Chen Feng. Regardless of the reason for what had happened, so long as they killed him...

    The deputy president raged. "You dare?" He had never expected that the people of the Qian family would dare make a move here.

    Bang!

    A terrifying power erupted. The deputy president made a move but was held down by some other person. Numerous cold shes streamed toward Chen Feng. Each of the shes contained the power of a peak beyond A ss.

    The deputy president¡¯s heart chilled. "It¡¯s over." He had never expected that Chen Feng would appear here directly before the people of the Qian family. This was no different than delivering his own head to them. At this time, from Chen Feng¡¯s point of view, he had just returned to this world together with Kong Bai. Next...

    Bang!

    A bunch of attacks smashed right into his face.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Kong Bai: "..."

    Everyone: "..."

    "This is too excessive." With an ashen expression, Chen Feng threw all those attacks off.

    The beyond A sses around were staring dumbstruck at Chen Feng as they saw that those attacks that were supposed to insta-kill Chen Feng failed to even pierce his face. What was going on? They had no idea. This did not seem right.

    Chen Feng looked at a certain expert of the Qian family. "Are you the one who sent that attack?"

    "Hmph!" That person frowned. He believed that there had to have been some sort of mistake earlier. Without hesitation, he unleashed his trump card. Once again, a powerful force erupted and streaked at Chen Feng. Next...

    Bang!

    With a single sudden kick, that person was flung away and smashed into the wall of the Gic Union, his body embedded deep in the wall.

    !!!

    Everyone¡¯s eyes widened.

    Holy shit!

    This time, even the deputy president was dumbstruck.

    The people of the Qian family raged. "You... seize him!"

    The deputy president wanted to help, but he was stopped by other Gic Union members because they had noticed that something did not seem right. Chen Feng¡¯s strength...

    Bang! Bang!

    Light swirled around. Chen Feng¡¯s movement speed was off the charts. He wasn¡¯t even using any techniques or abilities. Rather, he only casually sent out some random kicks, and with that, numerous figures were flung away, all embedded in the wall. Everyonepsed into silence. At this time, the legs of the people from Si Fan¡¯s family went limp. Their instinctive response was to make their escape.

    Bang! Bang!

    With a kick from Chen Feng, even they no longer had the chance to escape.

    Beyond A1?

    Beyond A2?

    ...

    Even beyond A5 warriors were sent to the wall with a single kick from Chen Feng. The only person among the family that hadn¡¯t moved was watching on while both his legs shivered as Chen Feng sent one member of his family after another into the wall. Finally, as he saw that Chen Feng was heading toward him, he howled abruptly, "Hold on."

    Shua!

    Chen Feng stopped and looked at him coldly.

    He gave Chen Feng a deep gaze and sorrowfully said, "I... shall do it myself."

    Finishing his words, he turned around, faced the wall with his back, and pushed backward with his foot.

    Bang!

    He was embedded onto the wall as well.

    At this point, on the other side of the wall, the youngdy on duty in the Gic Union noticed with horror that presently, a hole had appeared in the Gic Union¡¯s thick wall.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    What an astonishing way of doing things. Kong Bai gave the hole a nce and clicked his tongue in wonder. "This length..."

    The deputy president gulped. "Chen Feng?"

    Chen Feng smiled. "Hello. Sorry, we werete."

    The deputy president pointed at the "mural" on the wall, Chen Feng¡¯s masterpiece. "Your strength..."

    Chen Feng did not say much. "Somewhat increased."

    "Chen Feng?" One of the characters of the "mural" in the wall dug himself out of the wall, leaving a "Ì«" shape. With dust all over his face, he red furiously at Chen Feng. "After killing the heir of our Qian family, you are still so unbridled? Do you really think that the Qian family is a pushover? Heh. Seeing how you can defeat all of us, it seems like you broke through at the training camp? Let¡¯s see. As a mere B ss, you were actually able to reach A ss so easily, and to be such a powerful A ss at that, all this should be thanks to the training camp, right? Hehe. Yet Qian Chen and Si Fan, who should have simrly broken through at the camp as well, did not return alive... With your improvement being so great... hehe. It seems like you had all the valuable resources there for yourself. Everyone says that you are a selfless person; from the looks of it, you are instead a selfish person. To hog all the resources for yourself, you killed the two of them..."

    He red resentfully at Chen Feng. The others around them gave this some thought and concluded that this was quite possibly what happened.

    Instinctively, they all looked at Chen Feng. Surprisingly, Chen Feng did not bother exining himself. He merely looked at that person, a faint smile on his face. "To throw such usations at someone who is also part of the Gic Union¡¯s management, where¡¯s your proof?"

    "This is the truth. What proof do I need?" that person howled.

    Chen Feng waved casually. "Is that so?"

    Shua!

    Numerous red shes appeared in midair. Xiao Ying started traveling constantly between the illusory and physical world, ying the scenes of what happened with Qian Chen and Si Fan back then.

    "Do you want to experience the devotion of your heir?" Chen Feng asked with a faint smile.

    Shua!

    That person¡¯s heart chilled.

    As for the deputy president and the rest, they were furious. So it turned out those two were the ones who had caused trouble? The people they had sent to protect Chen Feng had turned out to be followers of the ancient race!

    "Damn it." The killing intent of the deputy president surged. "Start an immediate investigation on everyone. The person in charge of the training camp, the people who sent Qian Chen and Si Fan, and those who rmended them, investigate all of them!"

    "Yes."

    "As for you guys..." The deputy president¡¯s gaze swept past those people. "Actually daring to attack a member of the Gic Union¡¯s management here at the Gic Union? You deserve death! Kill!" the deputy president spat coldly. Previously, the Gic Union had only been holding their hands for the sake of the bigger picture. Did these people believe that the Gic Union was a pushover?

    That person was rmed. "You dare?"

    s, the experts of the Gic Union had already taken action.

    A shout resounded from the empty air. "Please hold your hands."

    A powerful aura appeared, ripping apart space and creating a hole in the air. Next, an immortal-like figure stepped out of the hole one step at a time. This was the strongest expert of the Qian family: Qian Liexian.

    The deputy president¡¯s face became gloomy. "He has actuallye as well." This person was a peak beyond A ss. Unexpectedly, this person had also arrived here.

    "Please have mercy." He stepped forth on the empty air, a remarkable aura about him. s, at thest instant before he fully left the hole, Chen Feng¡¯s figure flickered and reappeared near the hole. With a big kick, before Qian Liexian could even react to it, he was kicked back to where he hade from. Next, a gush of energy surged out of Chen Feng¡¯s hand and forcefully blocked the spatial hole.

    Qian Liexian: "???"

    Everyone else was dumbstruck. This worked?

 Chapter 591: Eruption of War!

    Chapter 591: Eruption of War!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Everyone in the Qian family had a solemn expression. They knew that a huge battle might erupt today. As such, they had been prepared for this in advance. For the future of the Qian family, they had decided to face the Gic Union, to extract the tiger¡¯s tooth in the tiger¡¯s den. Naturally, they alone would not be able to aplish what they wanted. Therefore, before making their move, numerous families big and small had been contacted. If a battle did erupt, it would be between various families and the Gic Union.

    Right now, all of them were here, waiting for the result. s, beyond their expectations, before any results or updates were received, a distress signal was transmitted to them from the Gic Union. The worst-case scenario they had expected had indeed happened. The Gic Union had indeed acted against them!

    Shua!

    A huge screen appeared. Everything around the people of the Qian family at the Gic Union was shown on the screen. They saw the Gic Union acting against them, and they also saw the appearance of someone that shouldn¡¯t have appeared.

    "This is bad."

    They were greatly rmed. The moment they saw Chen Feng, they knew something was going to happen. A living legend waspletely different than a tainted dead legend who they could use as they wished. The appearance of Chen Feng was a variable in this n, and as they saw that the Gic Union was preparing to kill, the Qian family patriarch, who had always been calm, could no longer stay silent. He ripped space apart and arrived there personally.

    "The patriarch has acted!"

    The Qian family members gazed at their imposing patriarch with a fanatical gaze. s, the dignified appearance of their patriarch onlysted a short two seconds before the patriarch was sent back home.

    "???"

    They stared dumbstruck at the screen. From the screen, they had been able to get a clearer look at what had happened. Their patriarch had been kicked back forcefully...

    "???"

    How was that possible? Wasn¡¯t their patriarch a peak beyond A9? How was it possible for Chen Feng to send him back with a single kick? Even a peak beyond A9 should not be able to do that to their patriarch.

    Plop!

    Qian Liexian was flung out of the spatial tunnel andnded face-first in a sorry manner.

    "Bastard!" He scrambled up. "I was actually ambushed by a shameless person."

    He knew that he had to have been too careless to fall for an ambush from someone like Chen Feng.

    "Very well." His face ashen, he said, "I shall teach you the consequences of provoking me."

    Bang!

    He waved his hand.

    A terrifying spatial power bloomed. He intended to once again travel through space to reach the Gic Union directly. s, even after the domineering spatial power spent a long time lingering about midair, no spatial tunnel was created.

    "???"

    He was somewhat dumbstruck. What had happened?

    Bang!

    Once again, he let loose his spatial power. A gigantic spatial hand ripped space apart. From the screen, everyone could see clearly that an obvious spatial undtion had appeared on the sky above the Gic Union. A spatial crack visible to the naked eye appeared. Numerous spatial cracks joined together, akin to a chrysanthemum, so very obvious high in the sky.

    Rip¡ª

    The gigantic hand pulled.

    And next...

    Still no spatial tunnel appeared.

    "How is this possible?"

    Qian Liexian¡¯s expression was unsightly. He had already used his maximum power earlier. Why had he still failed to create a spatial tunnel?

    "Again!" He waved his hand furiously. Unfortunately for him, regardless of how much he pushed his power, the sealed spatial tunnel refused to be reopened. Instead, he currently resembled a lunatic who was dancing madly in midair.

    Chen Feng sneered. "Heh." Since even the chrysanthemum was blocked by him, how was it possible for the tunnel to appear? What, was he thinking of himself as some diarrhea-inducing drug? How funny!

    Bang!

    Chen Feng waved casually. His S-ss power drifted over slowly and firmly locked down the spatial tunnel.

    "You guys should be able to see this right?" Chen Feng said, gazing at the empty air, before turning around and nodding to the deputy president. "You guys can do the rest."

    Deputy president: "..."

    They had yet to recover from their shock over Chen Feng¡¯s powerful disy, but since now was the perfect opportunity for them to make their move, they acted without any hesitation.

    Pu!

    Blood sttered everywhere. Not a single Qian family member that had arrived here was spared. In any case, they should have seen thising for daring to provoke the Gic Union. As for the family of Si Fan, they had merely been here to make up the numbers for the Qian family and had been the first to surrender. Thanks to that, they were able to keep their lives.

    "You all dare?" Qian Liexian roared indignantly as he watched on as his family members were killed.

    "The Qian family, let¡¯s just destroy them," the deputy president stated coldly.

    "Yes!"

    The entire Gic Union moved. All along, what the Gic Union had feared the most was precisely such an alliance of families.

    The moment Chen Feng had returned, the moment these families had no longer had any excuse to ally together, the Qian family alone had be nothing to the Gic Union. Two hourster, the Gic Union¡¯s squad returned. The Qian family no longer existed. Soon after, news of this spread, shocking numerous people.

    "Chen Feng has actually returned..."

    "I heard that he was able to forcefully kick the Qian family patriarch back through the spatial tunnel even after the Qian family patriarch had traveled through it."

    "How astonishing."

    "Isn¡¯t Chen Feng a B ss? How is that possible..."

    "No idea."

    "I heard Qian Chen and Si Fan were both enticed by the ancient race..."

    Numerous rumors spread around. However, the only thing everyone was concerned with was Chen Feng¡¯s strength. How had this person who was only a peak B ss a short while ago be so powerful in such a short period of time?

    Qian Liexian was a peak beyond A ss, yet with a single kick...

    The mere thought of this seemed utterly unbelievable. However, before long, just as everyone was still talking about this, an ear-piercing rm started buzzing, shocking all of them. The ancient race had appeared.

    "They¡¯re here."

    They stared into the distance. Once upon a time, the devils had descended upon the human territories as well. Even though they had managed to repel the devils, they had paid a disastrous price. Even Star City, the holy city of the Gene Production Association, had been destroyed in the process. And now, the ancient race, a race powerful enough to force the devils into hibernation, was finallying for the humans.

    This race that had once been the apex existence of this world, that had been scheming in the dark all along, the one who wanted to profit off the war between the humans and devils, this race had ultimatelye for the human territories.

    Someone gazed ahead at the starry sky and said, "I reckon a huge battle is going to erupt yet again."

    "Yeah. I wonder if I will be able to return from this battle alive," someone muttered to themselves.

    A lot of gic warriors were itching for a fight. "I have been waiting a long time for this."

    The Gic Union had already informed them of this uing battle. Even though no exact date had been announced, they had been training bitterly every single day just for this moment. This moment, thising battle, was what they had been waiting a long time for.

    At present, in the distant unknown region was an area where the devil aura pervaded the air.

    There, a huge devil was moving forward on all fours. Above his head stood an old devil with a face full of wrinkles.

    "The humans and the ancients have started fighting?" He gazed into the distance. The moment the devil race had failed their initial reawakening n, he had known that the devils had no hope left. During that battle, the devils, who were once caused great losses by the ancients, were once again caused huge losses by the humans. However, if both the humans and ancients inflicted heavy losses on each other as well... He patted the giant he was standing on. "Perhaps there is still chance for us."

    The giant howled.

    "Let¡¯s go. To y a decisive role in this war of three races, those below S ss are useless. Only an S ss like you can y a decisive role. Haha. Now, let us go look for more S sses... This shall be our, the devil race¡¯s, final hope."

    Bang! Bang!

    The earth trembled. Gradually, the old devil disappeared amid the darkness.

 Chapter 592: Hold Onâ€¦ Something Seems Off

    Chapter 592: Hold On... Something Seems Off

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng looked at the message he had received. "It¡¯s finally here?"

    ----

    With "war preparations" as the excuse, I dyed the ancient race¡¯s war against the humans. Yesterday, one fellow apprentice from the Land of Legacy arrived and forced the start of this war.

    Regards, Qin Hai.

    ----

    This was the final message he had received from Qin Hai. Perhaps Qin Hai was unable to maintainmunication with Chen Feng since his fellow apprentices were around. However, this single message was sufficient to express what Qin Hai wanted to say: the ancient race could be dyed no longer.

    This race that was much stronger than the devil race, that had be even stronger after being feminized, was finallying for the humans despite the fact that they as a race had no future. This was a race whose entire poption was now female. As such, they would no longer have future generations and were fated to vanish among the annals of history. However, the ancient race did not seem bothered at all by this.

    They battled as usual; they warred as usual.

    "Ancient race..."

    Chen Feng frowned. He truly couldn¡¯t make sense of the ancient race¡¯s actions. Under normal circumstances, when a race no longer had a future, they wouldn¡¯t bother putting forth the effort to continue expanding their territory. At a time like this, shouldn¡¯t they focus on solving their problems with reproduction instead?

    Chen Feng could not make any sense of this. He had once asked Qin Hai, yet even Qin Hai himself hadn¡¯t understood it. The ancient race¡¯s disregard for the reproduction issue was the first factor that was threatening humanity. The second factor was the Land of Legacy. The ancient race¡¯s biggest threat was not their army. After the beyond X gene reagent, after Master Spirit Developer, humanity¡¯sbat power had increased greatly. Humanity definitely had no rivals apart from the ancient race. If the humans had to face the ancients in a war, there was nothing to be afraid of.

    However, what posed the greatest threat to the humans was the Land of Legacy. The ancients there were fully beyond A ss. Even a normal disciple there was a peak beyond A ss. Even stronger were the ancients with a diamond in their foreheads.

    These people seemed to be the special ones among the ancient race. They were extremely powerful, and apart from the power they had from being peak beyond A sses, the diamond on their foreheads granted them special abilities as well. These people were the actual backers of the ancient race. They were also the ancient race¡¯s strongest fighting force. There was also that master of theirs, the old fellow that had yet to appear as of now.

    "Seems like I have to take a trip to the ancient race," Chen Feng muttered. He was clear that only destroying the Land of Legacy would truly stop the advance of the ancient race. But then, even he himself had no confidence in doing that. Based on his guesses, since all the disciples of the Land of Legacy were already peak beyond A ss and each of them had a unique ability, their master was most definitely an S ss.

    Could he truly defeat that S ss? Chen Feng hadn¡¯t been in S ss for long. Even he himselfcked understanding on his present strength. What was the special characteristic of an S ss? Transformation of their entire person into energy. Apart from that? Chen Feng was clueless. What were the abilities of an S ss? What was the energy used by an S ss? Chen Feng couldn¡¯t answer any of these questions. Apart from using all the abilities he¡¯d had prior to his advancement, were there any special abilities a person would gain after entering S ss?

    S ss was a realm beyond all others. This was an entirely new power system in itself. As such, all research done during the Gic Era provedpletely unhelpful here. Perhaps it would truly be more apt to call this realm "the awakened" rather than calling it S ss.

    "Awakened," Chen Feng muttered. Since the people of the Twin Horns World had used that name for this realm, it was most certainly a suitable name. If so, what had an awakened person awakened, exactly?

    Still, Chen Feng had no answers. The things he needed to learn were way too many. At present, he was akin to an infant trying to walk unsteadily, staggering along the world of awakened ones. As for that person in the Land of Legacy, he might be a true awakened. How was Chen Feng supposed to defeat such a person? Chen Feng started recalling all his abilities and stopped at God Punisher.

    Perhaps... he still had some chance of victory.

    Even though hecked understanding of the power system of the awakened ones, at the very least, his energy should have leveled up to that of an awakened one as well after his breakthrough. If so, if God Punisher was unleashed... a God Punisher at the level of an awakened one, to instantaneously unleash a boundless power with an unknown amount of amplification... This might enable him to fight it out with that old man.

    Chen Feng clenched his fists. "I can only do this, then."

    Shua! Shua!

    His wristband buzzed. Chen Feng looked at the received messages.

    At a certain location, the ancients had arrived. War erupted there...

    A certain location had seemingly fallen into the enemy¡¯s hands, yet suddenly, an unnamed expert appeared and beat the ancients back...

    At a certain location, the ancients were ughtering wantonly...

    ...

    For the first time, the borders of humanity were shing with the ancients. Those fellows that greatly resembled humans appeared without stop from the darkness. Walking out of the unknown regions, they initiated their first full-scale war against humans.

    Surpassing even their wildest imaginations, just as the war started, something happened. This was an extremely huge incident. At a certain location, a certain ancient expert entered a human city. After defeating the experts of that city, she obtained control over that city. And after that... she raped all the males there. Not a single one of the defending soldiers there escaped.

    "???"

    Humanity was dumbstruck. Everyone in the nearby towns was dumbstruck. The entire onlinemunity was dumbstruck as well. At present, the war had only touched the borders of human territory. Those in the inner region couldn¡¯t understand this at all. This was especially true for those that were far from the front lines, well protected within the core regions of human territory.

    "Holy shit, something like this actually happened?"

    "The ancients are actually this cruel?"

    "Just imagine being raped by those ugly freaks... good gracious..."

    They were endlessly rmed. However, after photographs of the invaders were uploaded online, everyone was stupefied.

    It was at this moment that the masses discovered something shocking. Every ancient was female! Moreover, with their formidable strength, there was an aura of spirituality around them. Each of them had a remarkable demeanor and extreme beauty.

    "This is the ancient race?"

    "Is this for real? Aren¡¯t they supposed to be ugly?"

    "The devils are the ugly ones. These ancients are instead astonishingly beautiful."

    "Wow."

    "Hold on, didn¡¯t they conquer a certain city before? Why have they..."

    "I heard that the ancient race is a kingdom of females."

    "!!!"

    Everyone¡¯s eyes widened. No males? Did that not mean...

    "This is actually the ancient race?"

    "This is too excessive. These ancients are truly inhuman. Please give me their address. I shall personally visit them and criticize their actions."

    "I demand to fight on behalf of humanity. I shall also go to the front lines and criticize them for this."

    "Upvoting the poster above."

    "Upvoting the poster above endlessly."

    A huge number of pictures depicting the ancient race were uploaded. rming everyone, each of the ancients was an extremely beautiful youngdy. From the north to the south to even the eastern coasts... the onlinemunity was thoroughly captivated.

    Although the ancients were powerful, they were seemingly aware of their limited poption. As such, they had never nned to kill off the humans. So long as those humans surrendered, the ancients would ept it. The only thing they would do was capture a huge amount of humans. After this news spread, countless gic warriors started submitting applications to go to the front lines, to battle for humanity!

    As the people of the Strategy Department saw the applications that had increased several hundred times in a single day, they were stupefied.

    Tian Xie applying for a transfer to the front lines...

    Mu Zi applying for a transfer to the front lines...

    Jiu Tian applying for a transfer to the front lines...

    Xu Fei applying for a transfer to the front lines...

    ...

    "???"

 Chapter 593: The Grand War Strategy of the Ancients

    Chapter 593: The Grand War Strategy of the Ancients

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The Gene Production Association was dumbfounded. The Research Agency was dumbfounded. Even the Gic Union was dumbfounded. What was this? To prepare for this day, humanity had trained tirelessly and the presidents of the respective organizations had gone into various sorts of seclusion all to improve their strength, to ensure the survival of humanity.

    And now, when the real war erupted, something seemed off? At this moment, from the front lines, a new update was received. This time, without an ounce of effort, without sparing any manpower, the ancient race had been able to gain an entire human city.

    "???"

    What was going on? At this news, the humans were truly shocked.

    "Was the army there destroyed?"

    Yet when they received word of what had happened there, they were all stupefied.

    At the front lines, the main army of the ancient race had finally entered human territory. Even though their scouts had reported that the humans were extremely weak, the ancients had still maintained the highest level of vignce. Humanity was definitely not a race that could be underestimated. The devils had once viewed the humans with contempt, and look at what had happened to them. The ancient race would most definitely not repeat the devils¡¯ mistake.

    Bang! Bang!

    The ancient army pushed forth. Distantly, numerous humans were already visible. That terrifying aura nted fear in their hearts. Among those humans, there were also numerous extraordinary radiances flickering about.

    The people of the ancient race increased their vignce as they saw this. "Careful."

    "Activate our defenses."

    Some had already activated their defenses. They recall that humans seemed to possess something called "technological weapons," which were incredibly terrifying, capable of killing the enemy over a long distance of several hundred thousand kilometers. They had once stolen some videos of the humans and had witnessed such a scene...

    The destructiveness of those weapons was rather ordinary, yet their range was truly terrifying. Even that was something the ancients had seen from a videos of the humans from several hundred years ago. As for humanity¡¯s current technological level...

    The ancients exchanged nces before further increasing their vignce. Just like that, step by step, they approached the humans. The nearer they came, the more clearly they could feel how terrifying the humans were. Moreover, intense roars could be heard, so intense the ground seemed to shake.

    One step, two steps...

    Shua!

    Suddenly, they charged through the barrier separating the human territory and the unknown region. But the instant they left the barrier, they stood there dumbstruck, and they remained that way for a long time. As for the ancients behind them, they were all frightened. Had something happened to the vanguard?

    Shua!

    They followed closely and charged out as well. Next...

    Everyonepsed into silence.

    Before their eyes, the humans¡¯ cheering was so loud that even the deaf could hear it. However, different they had imagined, they saw numerous humans carrying big, shiny signboards while shouting at them in excitement.

    "Xiao Ying, I love you!"

    "Goddess, please give me your autograph!"

    Countless people roared. As for the humans even further back in the distance, they directly lifted a white g and waved it in the air.

    "???"

    The leader of the ancients was stupefied. This... what was going on? Xiao Ying? Ah, right, that¡¯s the scout they had sent to the human territory previously. How did these humans find out her name? Apart from that, this leader could also hear numerous bizarre discussions.

    "Wow, they are truly all female!"

    "Too beautiful, even prettier than the northern girls..."

    "Finally, the salvation of us forever-alones has arrived..."

    All sorts of weird discussions could be heard. At this time, a tall and handsome human warrior stepped forth.

    As he stepped forward, all the humans gave way uniformly. As the ancients saw this, they heightened their vignce. Was this the leader of these humans? Had the time for battle finally arrived?

    Next...

    They saw that handsome warrior kneel down on one knee before the leader of the ancient army.

    His overcast yet maic voice echoed in the air. "Dear beautiful goddess, please ept my love. I am willing to be your guardian warrior."

    "Ah?" The ancient leader was stupefied. "???"

    What was going on? Nobody could answer this question. She turned around and noted that the ancients behind her were confused as well. Although the ancients were powerful and had once been a race with two genders, thanks to their primeval civilization, they as a race had no concept of romance, regardless of gender. But now...

    The leader clutched her weapon. "Is this a scheme of theirs?"

    A person behind the leader shook her head. "Lord. No malice has been detected from them."

    The ancient leader frowned and ultimately stopped attacking. She could feel that these humans before her had also consumed the beyond X gene reagent and had rather extraordinary strength.

    Beyond C sses...

    Beyond B sses...

    Even beyond A sses were included in their ranks.

    When had so many geniuses appeared among the humans? Moreover, even these geniuses were being used as cannon fodder at the front lines? How powerful were the humans? A sense of vignce rose in the hearts of the ancients. If they were to make a move now...

    The ancient leaderpared the strength of both parties here and estimated a ratio of 7:3 between the strength of both parties. The ancient army had 70% odds of winning this battle, but that 30% indicated that they would still suffer rather disastrous casualties even if they won. As such, she had yet tomand the army to attack.

    And next...

    With astonishment, she watched on as the humans weed their army with delight. That feeling...was rather simr to a scene from the marriage of an ancient princess.

    "Is this the human race?"

    The ancients were amazed. This was the very first time they had had any sort of meaningful contact with the humans. Mhm... the humans seemed somewhat different than the ancients had imagined?

    For the first time, this ancient race, this kingdom of females, had second thoughts about their decision to wage war on the humans. On that night itself, the ancients who had suffered loneliness for a long time and the human forever-alone gic warriors whose sex lives were nonexistent underwent a night of great harmony, doing the deed of two genders.

    On the next day, the city entered a phase of peacetime. Just like that, the humans and ancients coexisted peacefully. War? Why was there a need for war? The ancient race had not even needed any sort of effort to be able to conquer these humans. Each soldier was extremely precious for the ancients. As such, they were unwilling to suffer losses.

    With excitement, they raised the g of the ancient race in the city center, and thus the army pressed forth once again. But then, since this city had already been conquered, they would need to leave some people behind to keep watch, right? As such, they left behind a group of people before advancing once again.

    This time, they employed the newly discovered and most apt strategy for conquering the humans, undergoing the great harmony of two genders with the humans. However, with this strategy, the ancients lost their will to fight as well.

    In the past, whenever they had won a city through battle, a portion of the army would also be left behind to keep watch as the main army advanced forth. However, the main reason for that was to suppress the newly conquered city, to suppress any revolts.

    Those left behind were those thatcked any military achievements. For the sake of earning more achievements, none of them were willing to be left behind; everyone requested to go into battle with the main army. But now, theplete reverse was happening. The ancients that had conquered the human city were extremely reluctant to leave. All of them applied to stay behind. This was somethingpletely unthinkable for the ancients prior to this war.

    How had this happened? The numerous army captains were in a daze as they pondered this.

    They thought of numerous ideas to encourage the soldiers to go do battle, yet each day, they were faced with numerous different methods of attempts to capture their fancy, to charm them, from the humans. This was something the ancients had never experienced, regardless of whether they were feminized ancients or ancients that had originally been female. They had even started entertaining the thought of forever staying among the humans.

    War? What was that? All was forgotten.

    "Look, those are the humans¡¯ hintends. We only need to conquer thirteen cities and we will be able to reach the hintends." The captain spoke passionately in her attempt to raise the morale of the ancient army. Yet after three mere cities, the entirety of their army was already staying behind in the human cities. None were willing to continue advancing.

    "I had already missed two cities. This time, I must stay behind."

    "The humans are not putting up any sort of resistance anyway. Why is there a need for war?"

    "Yeah, have you forgotten how many losses we suffered when we warred with the devils back then?"

    "If you are saying that we should conquer the humans, I personally believe that we have already conquered them..."

    This thought was shared by a lot of ancient race members.

    And thus, the ancients¡¯ grand n, the war they had wanted to start, was cast aside.

 Chapter 594: Rejection by Word

    Chapter 594: Rejection by Word

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the front lines.

    The general of the ancient race coldly stared at the report she had received. Her expression was somewhat unsightly; her massive bosom trembled as she breathed heavily in anger.

    "What terrifying humans, to be able to use such a method to cause our army to becent."

    The general was extremely shocked. The ancient race had undergone great changes recently, bing a race of a single gender. Although the strength of their race had increased greatly, they had simrly be even more emotional. Something like this happening wasn¡¯t surprising, honestly; the biggest question facing the general was what they should do next.

    Keep up the war? Their soldiers were no longer willing to fight. In this grand war of the ancient race¡¯s, their grand army had only conquered three of the humans¡¯ border cities before losing the entirety of theirbat power. Intruding upon the hintends of the humans would remain a dream. What should they do, then? The general smiled bitterly. It seemed like she could only report this to the higher-ups.

    And thus the front-line updates were sent at a high speed. Both the humans and the ancients reported to their higher-ups first thing. Upon receiving the updates, both sides were dumbstruck.

    ...

    At the Gic Union.

    The higher-ups of humanity were gathered here in a meeting. Everyone looked at the report in their hands before ncing at Chen Feng and remained in a long stupor. This development was somewhat different from what they had estimated?

    "Is this something you thought up long ago?" the Strategy Department head asked cautiously.

    Chen Feng: "..." If he could have even foreseen this happening, that would have truly been miraculous. Based on his initial n, he had been hoping that the ancient race would be too busy dealing with an internal issue¡ªsolving their reproduction problem¡ªthus giving humans more time. But now...

    "The biggest question is what do we do next?" the deputy president asked solemnly.

    This change among the ancient race was a good thing for the humans. However, how should they maintain this advantage? That was the issue to consider now. They had to keep dying the main army of the ancient race.

    "This is simple." Chen Feng had a rather deep understanding of the ancient race. "Although this race is strong and has a long history, the actual level of their civilization and nation are rather low."

    As everyone heard this, their eyes gleamed. If that was the case...

    On the next day, several blockbuster movies with good ratings were yed for free in every city the ancient race was in. The excuse given was "to gain understanding of human culture." At this, all the ancient race members in those cities gathered in the various cinemas. Toward the end, some cried, some cheered, and they were all stunned by humanity¡¯s films.

    Movies, games, music...

    All of these prated the lives of these ancient race members. For the first time, they discovered the existence of such wonderful things. The world of the ancient race was a rather unique world. The ancients as a race ced military achievements above all others. Regardless of one¡¯s talent, regardless of one¡¯s interest, everyone did only a single thing: pursuing strength without stop. There were no forms of entertainment or hobbies whatsoever among the ancient race¡¯s society.

    But here in human society, for the first time, they discovered that apart from war, there were other interests in this world.

    "This item called an energy piano seems rather interesting," said Wang Tiedan, an ex-bandit who hadmitted numerous crimes in the past. At present, the ex-he, present she was hugging a piano in a trance. Every single time she pressed down on a note, a captivating sound and a wondrous light effect would appear, bewitching this ancient race member.

    "Wow, this Dead or Alive[1] 1 game is really fun. I had originally believed that having a big bosom would affect one¡¯sbat ability. Thedies in this game all have massive bosoms, yet they can actually move so fluidly in battle..."

    A certain ancient race female was seriously studying a rebranded version of Dead or Alive, making a great effort to learn thebat methods disyed in the game. Naturally, whether she would learn those moves where one¡¯s bosom could be used as a weapon to smash at one¡¯s enemy remained to be seen...

    "Wuwu... This soap opera is so very touching. The female lead is so pitiful. After her man died, her parents died as well. Next, she was gang raped. Her grandmother died, her grandfather went crazy, yet she still needs to take care of three babies..."

    "True, true."

    The rather emotional ones among the ancient race were all crying rivers of tears while watching human soap operas.

    "I wish I was the female lead instead so I could kill off all those viins," one particr ancient race female said.

    By the side, a certain ancient race female was dazedly staring at the scene where the female lead was gang-raped, and she muttered to herself, "Yea, how I wish so..."

    The rest: "???"

    "Lla, this song is very nice."

    "What song is it? Please rmend it to me."

    "A song called Ifuudoudou[2] 2 ... I can only sing a few phrases, though. The rest of the lyrics I don¡¯t know how to sing."

    A group of ancients who enjoyed music had also fallen to human culture.

    Naturally, there were also a number of them who disliked such things. Fortunately, there were such girls with non-mainstream interests among humans as well. For these people, the multitude of games humanity had to offer would surely interest them, right?

    Humanity¡¯s present assortment of games was simply akin to an entirely different world of fantasy!

    For example,petitive games! Games that gave one boundless excitement, pushing one to new heights!

    For example, sim games! Games where one could assume a new identity and y as whatever character they wished to!

    For example, RPGs! One would start slowly and would need to rely on loot to increase one¡¯s strength!

    For example, adventure games! One could massacre everything one saw and engage in never-ending killing with an elegant and spectacr world as the backdrop. One could even be prince charming and rescue a princess in distress.

    If even these could not satisfy those ancient race members, how about those legendary adult games? Thetest releases, such as "True Boyfriend," "Beach Ser," "Cloud Wolf," "Artificial Beta Boy," "Chronicles of Teenage Boys, 5th Edition," and so on. There had to be one game out there suited for the ancient race members!

    Ultimately, the entirety of the ancient race became addicted to these human entertainments. The moment these ancients that had originated from a civilization with a rather crude and dry culture encountered the information age of the humans, they were thoroughly captivated.

    At present, the several cities where humans and ancients coexisted together had transformed into unique cities. Even humans enjoyed visiting these cities, as there, a lot of entertainment was provided free of charge. And just like that, the poprity of those few cities increased dramatically.

    As for the war... everyone hadpletely forgotten about it. The females of the ancient race felt that their mere presence would be sufficient to conquer whatever ce they arrived at. At the Gic Union, a group of people were discussing this matter seriously.

    "Excellent. Our next step should be teaching them human words. We do not need to rush that. We need to gradually and slowly make them ept human culture before assimting them into human society."

    Chen Feng listened on in silence. This wasn¡¯t something he was good at. However, he couldn¡¯t avoid feeling awe for what these fellows here were capable of.

    Fighting a war? How boring. The scarier method was cultural invasion. If it were a normal culture, there would most certainly have been some sort of conflict and resistance against something like this. But the ancient race? That all-female race? They epted everything presented to them as if it was the most natural thing to do. It seemed like they were conquering the humans and the humans werepletely helpless against them, as all the humans were treating them with the utmost respect. However, by the time all of them fully assimted into human society, the ancient race would truly vanish from this world. That was the scariest part!

    "Oh, right, we need to research some new gene reagents as well. Isn¡¯t this something Chen Feng is most proficient with?"

    Suddenly, they had started talking about Chen Feng. Chen Feng, who had not been paying attention to the meeting, was caught off guard. "What?"

    "We have something that requires your help," the Reagent Department head stated solemnly. "The assimtion of the ancient race is only the first step, and it¡¯s not assimtion in the truest sense. As such, we require something that can truly help them blend with us humans, and that something is a future generation. Due to the unique makeups of the bodies of humans and ancients, it might be rather difficult for a baby to be conceived between both races. We will need your help in this, to assist them in the creation of life. Hence..." He paused and looked at Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng shivered and firmly refused. "Not possible!"

    Something seemed fishy from how this plot was developing.

    "???" The Reagent Department head scratched his head. "So it turns out such gene reagents are really that hard to create?"

    Chen Feng had an odd expression as he asked, "Gene reagent?"

    "Yeah. We need some gene reagents capable of helping them be pregnant." The Reagent Department head gazed at Chen Feng in a daze and continued, "Isn¡¯t that what you meant when you said no earlier?"

    "Of course I was." Chen Feng coughed and righteously stated, "It¡¯s just that an idea suddenly appeared in my mind. I might have an even better idea we can give a try."

    "We will have to trouble you, then," the Reagent Department head replied emotionally, evidently not aware that actually, a certain censored scene was the thing that had appeared in Chen Feng¡¯s head previously.

    "We need a powerful gene reagent, one that can grant pregnancy with one attempt," he stated with a solemn expression. They had decided to select a group of "good seeds" from among the Gic Union, those who were simrly powerful gic warriors, to head to the border cities and "fight" for humanity! Perhaps, at that time, the ancients there would truly assimte into humanity.

    "All right." Chen Feng nodded. "I will get the Gene Production Association toe up with something."

    Something like this would not be difficult for them. With the ancients out in the open nowadays, it wouldn¡¯t be hard at all to obtain some data pertaining to the ancient race¡¯s bodies.

    For example, that little wife of Mu Yuan¡¯s would be able to help with this.

    At this time, in that faraway unknown region.

    The higher-ups of the ancient race were also at a loss when it came to this whole development. Their line of thought was still not advanced enough for the idea that this was a cultural invasion to even cross their minds. Nevertheless, they still had a feeling that something was wrong with this development. The army of the ancients was no longer able to further advance into human territory.

    "How many defensiveyers do we need to prate to truly enter the hintends of humanity?"

    "Fourteenyers. As long as we pass through the 14yers, we will be able to enter the hintends of humanity. However, we have only passed through the thirdyer so far... and the entirety of our army is already staying behind in those human cities."

    The heads of the higher-ups ached. They had only passed through threeyers containing ten-odd human cities, and those fellows were already cking about.

    "Don¡¯t we have several spies that managed to prate through 13yers already?" someone suddenly asked.

    "Oh?"

    The general¡¯s eyes shone. Thirteenyers! Only oneyer before the humans¡¯ hintends!

    "What was seen there? How¡¯s thebat power of the humans?" the general asked in excitement.

    "Oh." That person scratched her head. "Theirbat power is still unclear. However, ording to what our spy said, even at the thirteenthyer, the humans were still extremely weing. Moreover, they even told her that the arrival of the ancient race was greatly weed, bringing her alone to enjoy something called a spa, a full service package, and so on."

    General: "..."

    "Oh." That person scratched her head. "This is what she said. ording to her, the humans were extremely weak and, as such, ced the ancient race on an altar like some gods. They don¡¯t require any conquering from our side at all. Based on her description, the humans are a rather unique race. From her observations of the humans¡¯ records¡ªoh yeah, the records were something the humans called a "movie"¡ªthe humans have in their possession some extremely powerful weapons of mass destruction. However, those weapons are only used for self-defense, and rarely at that. Moreover, the humans have countless remarkable superheroes, such as Doctor Strange, Superman, and so on. Based on her estimations, these superheroes should all be S sses. But these heroes all vanished a very long time ago. It is unknown whether they are all still alive."

    The general¡¯s expression became solemn. "S ss..."

    "But ording to what she said, humanity is a race that will only unite when there is a disaster. They are only able to disy astonishingbat power during a moment of crisis. Based on the present strength of humanity, if we were to wage war against them, we might suffer extremely heavy losses, as they will all unite. This will bring us trouble," that person exined seriously. If this were a war of extinction between two different races, they would naturally have had no need to consider all this. But the problem now was that the humans had directly surrendered to them. If the ancients insisted on forcing the humans¡¯ hand even in such circumstances, they would truly be rather stupid.

    The general sank into silence. "Is that really true?"

    "It¡¯s true. The humans possess a lot of things we ancients do not have. We can totally make use of the humans and this unique capability of theirs to provide numerous services to ourselves," that person said seriously. "For example, those legendary things of humanity, such as games, movies, and music, are all things we do not have. They are worth learning from the humans."

    The general pondered silently. Is that so? Use the humans to provide services to the ancient race? Nothing seemed wrong with this... right?

    The ancient race¡¯s poption was rather low. Therefore, their natural development in all these aspects the humans were good at had been destined to not reach far. Fashion, food, housing, and transportation seemed to be rather basic. However, if they could have the humans serve them... This idea might work for real!

    "Excellent." Finally, the general agreed. "Let¡¯s put a temporary hold on the war, then."

    "All right." That person retired herself, inwardly feeling smug. Haha, with this, no harm would befall her favorite male idol. Now she could go and watch histest movie: Gutter Love!

    That¡¯s right. Within this all-female kingdom of the ancient race, these terrifying things called "fangirls" had started to appear and were slowly spreading among the grand army of the ancient race... This was something both the humans and the ancients had not seening.

    At this time, the general reported the progress to the higher-ups. Naturally, when reporting this, she touched upon a problem she was most concerned with¡ªthe future of the ancient race.

    Qin Hai was astonished. "Oh, weren¡¯t you all not worried about this previously?"

    The general frowned. "Yes. We ancients have great reproduction capabilities. Even if we can only give birth to one child, we do not mind the notion of epting some new genes into our gene pool. Therefore, if the ancients are truly no longer able to reproduce, we can still extract the genes of those wild beasts and inject them into our bodies to impregnate ourselves."

    Qin Hai was horrified. Would these be the rumored half beasts of legend? Holy shit, this ancient race was truly barbaric!

    "What changed?" Qin Hai asked with a calm expression. It had been truly difficult for him to not let his emotions show on his face.

    "Now, we have an even better option: the humans," the general stated solemnly. "The outer appearance of a human is extremely simr to our own. As such, they are the most suitable choice to be our breeding partners. Moreover, this race produced numerous geniuses, such as Chen Feng, Kong Bai, and Li Lei. As such, their gene pool might prove helpful after all. They are an eptable alternative."

    Breeding target, huh... Qin Hai sank into silence. But for the ancients to have actually thought of such a n... They were truly courting disaster upon themselves...

    That¡¯s right, there were also outstanding individuals among humans, proving that the gene pool of humans was rather powerful as well. But had these ancients considered how they would ultimately instead be assimted by human culture? Eh, it seemed like this was truly not a thought that would surface in the ancients¡¯ minds. The only thing they had ever recognized was strength, nothing else¡ªculture included.

    "Therefore, I propose we encourage our soldiers to breed with the humans," the general suggested righteously.

    "Approved," Qin Hai said with a wave of his hand.

    Well, you fellows are the ones courting this disaster. This has nothing to do with me.

    "Thank you." The general stood. Before leaving, though, the general suddenly looked at Qin Hai and hesitated before stating in a somewhat bashful manner, "King, are you really not considering me..."

    Qin Hai¡¯s expression darkened. "No."

    "Fine." The general left with regret.

    Qin Hai: "..."

    What was that even? He had initially thought that by staying undercover here in the ancient race, he could y a great role to help the humans during battle or perhaps assassinate the ancient leaders secretly behind the front lines and obtain total control over the ancient race.

    s... why had things progressed this way? Why else? All this was thanks to that damnable beyond X gene reagent!

    Damn you, Chen Feng!

    Qin Hai left filled with grief.

    At present, the blending of humans and ancients was still progressing. Naturally, the "blending" here referred to a broader sense of assimtion rather than that "action" involving the flesh...

    At night, the cities remained brightly lit. This was how colorful the human cities had always been, and it bewitched the ancients ceaselessly.

    The first group of warriors deployed by the Gic Union had already arrived, bringing with them a gene reagent capable of granting pregnancy with a single attempt. Their order had also been received. And thus, on this tranquil night, for the first time, the two sides¡¯ armies "did battle" with their "swords," both long and short.

    The moon was shrouded by the clouds. The night seemed deeper.

    In an unexpected twist, the rtionship between humans and ancients became harmonious. All the cities at the border became nightless cities. Together, they were called the "Dreand of Love and Desire" and became a ce countless people yearned to be. These cities became known as the cities of the millennia, cities that, regardless of whether one was human or an ancient, numerous lonely males and females could find happiness. The blending of humans and ancients progressed slowly.

    Naturally, not everything that had happened was good. In this weekend itself, a rather vile piece of news was spread. This was also the first conflict the humans and ancients had, an incident that rmed the higher-ups of both parties.

    ording to the reports, a certain female that enjoyed reading novels had been too engrossed by the world of a novel called Godly Model Creator. Ultimately, she had headed toward the house of the author, Minus Ny Degrees, and tied him up, forcing him to release more chapters. Toward the end, gic warriors had had to be mobilized to deal with this.

    This had raised an rm among everyone, both humans and ancients. The higher-ups of the ancient race had issued a prohibition, telling the ancients that when living in the human world, they needed to abide by humanws and were not allowed to cause harm to others.

    They had once studied human society. In human society, everything needed to be paid for, yet for the ancients, the humans were providing all these services for free. From this, the sincerity of the humans was apparent. Besides, after experiencing all the humans had to offer, they were no longer willing to return to their primitive ways, their barren culture.

    If a war broke out, based on what they knew, all the entertainment methods the humans had created would end up destroyed, right? They had once watched the "records" of the humans, those things the humans called movies. Those movies had shown that during wartime, anything not rted to strength would copse and be destroyed in an extremely short amount of time. This was something they did not wish to see happen.

    After all, their race had been focused on strength for several thousand years. It had truly been a boring thing. Now, this world where humans and ancients coexisted was a new era that they loved deeply, something the ancient race longed for.

    Somewhat surprisingly, this incident instead caused the blending of both sides to progress even further both physically and mentally.

    Naturally, the incident where the author was kidnapped wasbeled as a joke by both sides before it had a chance to stir up more emotion among the masses. This incident was even mentioned in a humorous way as some sort of joke. Things seemed to be progressing in a manner smoother than they had imagined.

    At this moment, in a different corner of the distant unknown region...

    In that dark and cold world, above the head of a huge and terrifying devil was an old devil with wrinkles all over his face. Presently, he was staring deeply in the direction of the human territory. This ce was precisely the territory of the devils.

    "Reporting."

    Thetest update on the war was delivered to him. After the old devil read the report, he sank into a long silence. The number of wrinkles on his face seemed to have increased. How had this happened? He could not make sense of this. He had been looking forward to the war between the humans and ancients for a long time, looking forward to them massacring each other, looking forward to the appearance of that final ray of hope for them, and yet...

    The war between the humans and ancients had ended just like that? From the initial closebat, it had involved into a different form of "closebat," one conducted in bed? This was too excessive! The old devil couldn¡¯t understand the reason for this. Even if the ancients had to look for breeding partners, wouldn¡¯t the devils be the more suitable option? Considering their gene pool and the simr emphasis on strength... The devils were obviously the more suitable option! Why had the ancients selected the humans?

    The old devil was clueless. In any case, this "war update" had caused his heart to chill. He had initially been nning to let the devil race became the third party and reap the profit after both the humans and ancients destroyed each other, but what should the devils do now? Threesome with the humans and ancients? Was this a joke?

    "Humans... Ancients..."

    He took a deep breath, slowly settling the raging anger in his heart. He could not allow himself to remain enraged. At present, the future of the devils was all under his control. Now, he would have to expedite his initial n. After all, they did not have much time left.

    "Hopefully, the information I have received is not wrong," he muttered to himself.

    Shua!

    A pitch-ck radiance swirled around him, and the bodies of both devils vanished amid the dark night. The devil race was presently searching for the final lifeline for their race.

    ...

    **

    Time passed quietly.

    Half a month passed, and humans and ancients were blending together rapidly. The cities where this was happening were developing more and more as well. At this time, suddenly, news appeared that rmed everyone. A certain youngdy of the ancient race had gotten pregnant!

    That¡¯s right, after only one month, this had happened!

    Seemingly due to the uniquebination of human and ancient, this child seemed iparably powerful. The youngdy was only one month pregnant yet the child was already somewhatrge. Based on their estimations, this child was the size of a child that had been conceived around three months prior.

    Both sides were overjoyed at this. The appearance of this child was the greatest news to both the humans and ancients. After some inspections, they concluded that this child was in perfect health. The blend of human and ancient was simply wless; no abnormalities were found.

    Along with the appearance of this child, other youngdies started getting pregnant en masse, like spring bamboos sprouting after the rain. The first grand army of the ancient race was thus transformed into the grand pregnant army.

    To ensure better lives for their children after birth, all these ancients ultimately decided to remain in the human cities. The living conditions back in the ancient race¡¯s territory were truly too harsh. After they discovered that the living conditions of the ancient race were in fact equivalent to the living conditions of the humans during the humans¡¯ Primitive Era, they were no longer willing to let their child experience such a life.

    After discussion, the higher-ups of the ancient race concluded that this was eptable. After all, for the future of the ancients, they needed to ensure their children grew up in a good environment. It was the natural course of things to let these humans serve the ancients! Allowing their children to stay in the human cities was the most proper choice to make. But they still had a nagging feeling that something was wrong, though they were unable to discover what it was.

    Afterward, numerous pregnant ancient females stayed in the human cities. It reached a point where after some of them returned to the ancient race to visit their families and were unable to ept the primitive lifestyle there and decided to once again leave their hometown, to once again return to human society.

    ying their role, the human had specially gotten the Research Agency to install the best child-raising facilities in these cities.

    They had even provided services to help the fathers of these children who were willing to take up the responsibility after impregnating thesedies. They would help these people establish families here. Examples of the services provided include father-seeking service, family-building courses, and so on.

    Ultimately, these children indeed settled here in the human cities. Just like that, this n of assimting the ancients into human culture waspleted!

    At present, those at the Gic Union were also discussing this development.

    "Have the traits of the ancient race been erased from them?"

    "Mhm, the water, the food... Everything in those cities has been mixed with chemicals capable of erasing the traits of the ancient race. Slowly, they will lose what makes them the ancient race, slowly bing true humans..."

    "Mhm, if the ancients and humans can truly coexist peacefully, for the sake of a better future, it is indeed better to erase those unique traits of theirs. For example, some of them have tails and so on..."

    "True."

    This was theirmon goal. They had always been intending to eradicate the mutants of the human world and the special traits of the ancient race that made them seem less human. Only after doing all this, eliminating all discrimination based on one¡¯s appearance, would future progress be easier.

    Otherwise, if in a ss of 30 students, one of them had a tail, would that single person be treated like a regr person? That was not possible. As such, these special traits needed to be eliminated. This was something the Gic Union, Gene Production Association, and the Research Agency were working hard at.

    At present, the humans and the ancients were still in a honeymoon phase, inplete harmony. Just as they were starting to believe that they could take a short rest and wait for theplete assimtion in peace, a new update was received from the Research Agency.

    Their research on the devil prince had borne fruit!

 Chapter 597: New Discovery

    Chapter 597: New Discovery

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the Research Agency.

    Chen Feng was solemnly looking at the experiment progressing in front of him. With utmost focus, the employees hoisted the devil prince up before aiming the prince¡¯s crotch at a certain test tube and giving the prince¡¯s crotch a squeeze. Next, the liquid shot out.

    Mhm... the scientists were indeed strict. Chen Feng studied the nearly transparent liquid with a solemn expression. It seemed like this devil prince had been eating rather healthily recently for the urine to be so clear. But then... Chen Feng gazed at the sputtering liquid that was sprinkling out like a showerhead and sank into contemtion.

    "In short... your research sessfully caused the prince¡¯s pee to sprinkle outward rather than shooting straight forward? Just look at it. It seems like the prince¡¯s prostate disease is no longer incurable..."

    The employees felt somewhat awkward as they heard his words.

    "Cough, cough. When ites to experiments, there ought to be some sacrifices," they exined. There was nothing they could do about this. After all, during this period of time, apart from maintaining a bnced diet for the prince, they had only been pouring water down the prince¡¯s throat without stop and then having him pee it all out.

    Mhm...

    After excessive peeing, it was quite normal for the prince to suffer some damage there.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    What in the world?

    Those scientists were scary indeed.

    At this moment, the liquid gathering waspleted. Next, the employees started their actual demonstration, disying the actual usage of the mysterious power contained within the liquid.

    Hum¡ª

    The liquid evaporated.

    Afterbining with energy, a ray of light appeared from the liquid. Under the amazed gazes of the people there, that ray of light charged toward the specially prepared patch of soil. Next, a devil appeared from that patch of soil.

    "???"

    Chen Feng was rmed.

    "This was a devil hibernating within the soil," the employee exined in a low voice. From the amount of hibernating devil particles they had gathered so far, it wouldn¡¯t be hard for them to put together sufficient particles to reconstruct a full devil. Their only difficulty was truly awakening these fellows. And now... "The power of the young prince is able to greatly reduce the summoning requirements," the employee concluded.

    "So that¡¯s the case." Chen Feng sank into contemtion. Was this the reason that devil expert had awakened ahead of time previously?

    "Naturally, we are merely at the early stage of our research. After our research, we found that a devil summoned through such a method only has their physical body. Their mind, their consciousness, is still seemingly in a somewhat disassociated state... and seems to be slowly healing as well," the employee exined.

    Based on what the employee had stated, Chen Feng concluded, "In other words, this method of summoning will do great mental damage to the summoned devil."

    The employee nodded. "That¡¯s right." The mind was a certain type of existence existing in a certain form within one¡¯s consciousness. However, it was still a spiritual thing and would thus suffer grave damage from being summoned using such a method. As such, it was evident that the S-ss devil had only been controlled by that old devil due to his iplete mental state.

    "However, based on our analysis," the employee continued, "even though the mental state will suffer damage, it will heal with time at a rate almost undetectable. Moreover, the stronger the devil is, the faster the healing will be. For S sses, it will be even faster. At that time..."

    "That S-ss devil will return for real, right?" Chen Feng concluded for him.

    "Yes." The employee smiled bitterly. This was what they had been worrying about. S ss! The deterrence provided by an S ss was simr to the effect of nuclear weapons back then. It was too powerful. They had already had a taste of the power of an S ss from that devil under the old devil¡¯s control. It was unimaginably powerful. How powerful would aplete S ss with a sound mental state be, then? The mere thought of it caused them to shudder in fear.

    S ss... Chen Feng chanted inwardly. He was the only person here who knew clearly what exactly an S ss was.

    That S-ss devil was mentally damaged and was under the control of others. As such, the power he had disyed back then was mere physical prowess. Thebat power of that S ss should be simr to the present Chen Feng. However, the moment that devil recoveredpletely, his strength and power would return as well. A true S ss, an S ss with control over his special abilities...

    Chen Feng gulped at that thought. Even he himself had no idea what, exactly, the true ability of S sses was. During this period, he had been researching without stop, but his progress had been limited to his knowledge of his body alone. As for the real abilities of S sses, he knew nothing.

    Perhaps that S-ss devil could tell him about it? Chen Feng smiled bitterly and gave up on this disaster-seeking thought.

    "Have there been other discoveries?" Chen Feng asked.

    The employee nodded. "Yes. After extracting the differentpositions, we tried reversing the function of a certain substance. With the help of the Gic Union, we were able to produce a reverse-summoning dust."

    Finishing his words, the employee took out a gene reagent. It was a bottle of yellow powder. As for the usage of the powder, it was a no-brainer.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "This thing..." The urine of the young prince could reduce the summoning requirements, allowing the summoning process to bepleted ahead of time. If it was reversed, this thing would be able to...

    "Sealing!" the employee stated in excitement. "This thing is capable of sealing the life-forms summoned through the prince¡¯s urine with a 90% rate of effectiveness."

    Ny percent!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed. If this was used on that S-ss devil...

    "But we still need more time." The employee knew what Chen Feng was thinking. "That devil is too powerful. To seal him up, we do not have enough powder. We need more time."

    "Excellent." Chen Feng was extremely satisfied with this result. "Is there anything else?"

    "The summoned life-forms all have an intense odor on their body. After breaking down theponents within the liquid, we were able to obtain the dposition form for this odor and are able to easily locate the life-forms that carry this odor," the employee exined.

    "Very good." Chen Feng was overjoyed. Detecting and sealing, everything would be done in one go!

    Next, they only needed to gather a sufficient amount of the yellow powder before they could make a move against the devils. For Chen Feng, this was a rare opportunity. After all, that was an S ss. At present, Chen Feng alone was the apex of humanity. Before him, no other paths of advancement could be followed. As such, he had to use other means to open up a path of advancement for humanity.

    What exactly was the true power of an S ss? He was looking forward to it.

    "I will get the people of the Gene Production Association toe and help out as well. Try to hasten the progress," Chen Feng stated decisively. "Hopefully the Gic Union and the Research Agency can also put their focus on this. Before that devil recovers fully, we must get rid of him."

    "Understood," the employees replied with a solemn expression. They knew how important this was.

    An odd shout resounded. "Ah¡ª"

    Chen Feng nced over. Mhm, the employees were "extracting" the liquid for study yet again. What a pitiful fellow...

    The employee noted Chen Feng¡¯s expression of pity and cautiously asked, "Should we slow it down?"

    "No," Chen Feng stated with mncholy. "Just feed him more water."

    The employee: "..."

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In the devil race¡¯s territory.

    Beneath the rich moonlight, a huge monster the size of a small building appeared. The vicious eyes of this monster appeared petrifying, and the might contained within a single howl caused countless beasts to tremble with fear. As the monster howled, its gaze was fixed on the opponent before it. The aura of this opponent was extremely feeble, yet a hair-raising sense of danger could still be felt from this opponent.

    Howl¡ª

    Howl¡ª

    The monster howled, seemingly trying to scare this opponent into leaving its territory. And yet...

    Bang!

    The opponent took a step forth, leaking a faint aura. Instantly, the monster¡¯s expression changed. Abruptly, the monster turned around and started to flee. s, it was already toote.

    Bang!

    An immense force could be felt harshly smashing this monster down to the ground. A tiny figure walked over. This fellow that was even smaller than the monster¡¯s ws walked to the front of that monster before imprinting a red seal on the monster¡¯s forehead. Instantly, the vicious gaze of the monster became empty before slowly bing docile as the monster prostrated on the ground deferentially.

    "Not bad, not bad at all."

    The old devil was very satisfied. He patted thetest victim he was standing on. His devil army was growing in size. With the power of that S-ss devil, he was able to defeat all opponents. He believed that it wouldn¡¯t be long before he could finally restore the devils to their former glory.

    Right at this moment, the S-ss devil¡¯s eyes shimmered slightly. Those empty eyes became clear for a split second before returning to normal.

    "Mhm?" The old devil swept his surroundings with his acute gaze. He muttered to himself, "Weird... I seemed to feel some ominous aura earlier? Was it a misconception?" Failing to detect any other auras, he shook his head and decided to depart this ce hastily.

    Hum¡ª

    Light swirled around and the devils vanished amid the darkness.

    Presently, at the Gic Union, thetest n they had conceived against the devils was being prepared. Eliminating the devils during this period while the humans and ancients were still in their honeymoon phase was the most apt choice. Perhaps peace would finally grace this. The problem now was...

    "Should we inform the ancients of this?" the deputy asked with a solemn expression. Everyone sank into silence. The strength of the ancients could not be underestimated. One could say that the ancients were in fact stronger than the humans.

    Previously, when going on missions against the devils or on other special missions, they had always encountered the ancients identally, resulting in a battle erupting between the two parties. Now that they had obtained a temporary peace, should they inform the ancients of this n?

    "Notify them about it, then." The Strategy Department head waved his hand. "Even if we don¡¯t notify them, they will find out about it anyway. If we were to encounter them during battle without telling them in advance, it would be quite awkward."

    The others understood. "True."

    Suddenly, someone thought of something. "What about the strategy..."

    The Strategy Department head¡¯s eyes gleamed. "It would be for the best if the ancients could work with us." True, now that they were in an absolute honeymoon stage with the ancients, if they could work together with the ancients...

    "Do it, then." The Strategy Department head patted his thigh and stated in joy, "Ba Gu, I will hand this assignment to your Diplomacy Department."

    "???" Ba Gu¡¯splexion became ashen as he gnashed his teeth. "Foreign Affairs! We are the Foreign Affairs Department! Not diplomacy!"

    The Strategy Department head did not seem bothered. "Is there a difference? As far as the ancients are concerned, you guys are the Diplomacy Department. I heard that when selecting candidates to breed with the ancients, even your younger brother was sent, right? Hahahaha."

    Ba Gu¡¯s expression darkened.

    The deputy president held hisugh in and coughed. "Stop quarrelling. Let the Foreign Affairs Department deal with this, then. If we could work with the ancients to get rid of the devils, that would be beneficial to both our races. The devil race with an S-ss expert is truly akin to an unstable nuclear warhead. I suppose the ancients are rather impatient to destroy the devils themselves as well."

    "Understood," Ba Gu replied.

    "I mean, if it doesn¡¯t progress smoothly, you can get your younger brothers and the others to have some ¡¯pillow talk¡¯ with the ancients, right?" the deputy president proposed.

    Ba Gu: "???"

    "Cough, cough. Let¡¯s do this then," the deputy president announced. "Let¡¯s implement our n."

    The Diplo¡ªno, the Foreign Affairs Department would be in charge ofmunicating to the ancients their intention for a joint mission. The Strategy Department would be in charge of drawing the overall n and deploying the required manpower for the mission. Regardless of whether the ancients were willing to work with them or not, this was a battle the humans had to fight.

    Even with the sealing reagent they had created with the help of the young devil prince, the power of an S ss couldn¡¯t be underestimated. This mission would be much more dangerous than their past missions. As for the main force, it would be the Gic Union president and numerous other top experts of humanity. All of them were peak beyond A sses.

    This was the eldest group of the peak A sses of humanity. Before the appearance of the beyond X gene reagent, these people had already been peak A sses. They were the strongest humans, possessing strength far surpassing the imaginations of regr people. Those beyond A1, A2, and so on who had advanced relying on the beyond X gene reagent were simply not in the same league as these people.

    These people were true experts, each of them being a legend in their own right. Naturally, in such a team, an oddity was included: Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng¡¯s first battle after his return had stunned countless people. With a kick, Qian Liexian had been sent flying. This was extremely shocking. Even now, his strength level was still an enigma to a lot of people. They had tried asking Chen Feng about it before, but he had only replied with a simple answer: "peak beyond A ss."

    "Has Chen Feng truly reached peak beyond A ss?"

    "I guess so?"

    "This is way too fast, right? Is it truly as he said, where one needs to be in constant life-and-death tempering to break through at a faster pace?"

    "That is indeed true. However, Chen Feng¡¯s speed is still too impossible, right? From B ss to his present level, how long did he take? I am not worried about that. I am worried that Chen Feng might have used some unique methods or trump cards to be able to send Qian Liexian flying with a kick..."

    "What difference does it make?"

    "Of course there¡¯s a difference. A true peak beyond A ss and someone who can only reach peak beyond A ss during unique and specific circumstances are way too different. Thebat power between the two is as different as the sky and earth. Chen Feng¡¯s identity is too unique. If something were to happen to him, it would be too heavy a loss for the humans. Have you forgotten what happened when he was believed to have died previously?"

    The deputy president was extremely distressed. They wanted to prohibit Chen Feng from joining, yet this time, they couldn¡¯t even find an excuse. In terms of authority, Chen Feng had now exceeded all of thembined. In terms of strength, Chen Feng was now at the apex of humanity. How could they restrict his actions?

    The deputy president sighed. "Get people to pay more attention to his safety, then. This time, get our own people to do the job. No matter what, his safety must be assured."

    The Strategy Department epted themand. "Understood."

    "You may leave now." The deputy president stared ahead in silence. Chen Feng seemed to always have excellent luck, to be able to create miracles repeatedly. Apart from his strength, his excellent luck had yed quite a big role in his achievements.

    "Hopefully... you will still be favored by luck this time." the deputy president muttered. Unknown to him, that person he thought to be favored by luck, that creator of miracles, was presently in an extremely mncholic mood due to his luck.

 Chapter 599: Update Online

    Chapter 599: Update Online

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "What¡¯s the matter?"

    Chen Feng looked at the illusory world in stupefaction. This illusory world was a unique world of Luck Aura. Here, he had created an illusory world that could assist in the operation of his Luck Aura. Here, he could see all the information regarding his Luck Aura, luck value, deductions, and the existence of Spirit. Yet now, everything was gone.

    Since he had returned from the transmigration, this space had remained empty. However, this was supposed to be normal, since he had exhausted all his luck value during the transmigration. He had always believed that after recovering his luck value, this world would return to normal soon after. But nothing had returned. This world remained a nk space of nothingness. The amount of luck value, the floating numbers, the countdown timer, his rm system, everything he had created to help with his usage of Luck Aura had vanished.

    Chen Feng tried calling for Spirit. "Spirit?"

    Spirit¡¯s figure appeared from the darkness. "Here."

    "What happened here?" Chen Feng asked curiously.

    Spirit frowned, seemingly vexed about this as well. "It seems to be evolving."

    "Evolving?" Chen Feng was somewhat stupefied. His Luck Aura could still evolve?

    "Yes." Spirit nodded. "It is seemingly rted to your breakthrough to S ss."

    "S ss..." Chen Feng was still doubtful. "But then, my luck value was still there when I had just broken through."

    "Mhm." Spirit said, "Please wait a moment. Let me take a look. Ah, it was the instant when you transmigrated back to this world that this space started evolving. Perhaps it was a reaction to a certain power it sensed?"

    Sensed? Chen Feng was rmed. Something that could only be sensed in this world? Suddenly, Chen Feng felt like he had been neglecting his Luck Aura all this time. This thing he had picked up in his former world was able to function in this different world. Such power... wasn¡¯t something that could be described with something as simple as energy.

    Previous life, Gic Era, alien world...

    Chen Feng had been to countless ces and Luck Aura had still worked normally. But that was all there was to it. When it came to updates, it seemed like the Luck Aura could only be updated here in this world. Therefore, could it be that this thing could only go online for its updates here in this world? Within this world was a certain signal emitter that was emitting a unique power belonging to Luck Aura?

    Chen Feng had no answer to that, but he guessed that that might truly be the case. This signal emitter might very well be the origin of Luck Aura. Hold on, why had the fortune stone appeared in the library of his previous world, then? Obviously, that stone was an item from this world. And what exactly was this update? This evolution? Why had reaching S ss enabled this update?

    Suddenly, Chen Feng noticed that he might have stumbled upon something, something that normally seemed like nothing special, something he had never noticed all this while, something that he should have noticed long ago. In the past, he had never thought about this. Or perhaps one could say that he had never pursued this line of thought.

    Chen Feng contemted. "Is it because of my realm being insufficient back then¡ªbecause of me being too weak?" He extended his hand. His hand flickered, alternating between an illusory and physical state before returning to normal.

    S ss... What kind of realm was this, exactly? Chen Feng could not decide if the timing of this update was bad or not. But then again, something like an update should never be a bad thing, right? After all, it was Luck Aura that was updating here rather than iOS! "Hopefully the performance won¡¯t drop after the update..." Chen Feng muttered to himself.

    "I doubt the performance will drop." Spirit frowned. "I can feel the upgrade. It should be finished in a short amount of time and will most probably be much stronger as well. However, during the update, the Luck Aura cannot be used."

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "I know." If the update wasn¡¯tplete by the time the trip to the devil race¡¯s territory began, he would be truly screwed. Facing a big-shot S ss, he had no confidence without any luck value as his trump card.

    Spirit pondered and said, "However, if something like Spirit Sea wood was provided, perhaps the update could be elerated."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. Spirit Sea wood! Yes, how could he have forgotten that? Back then, the various minor updates of his Luck Aura had always been due to Spirit Sea wood. At that time, for a tiny bit of Spirit Sea wood, he had exhausted no small amount of effort. However, just as he readied to use his Luck Aura to look for some Spirit Sea wood, he remembered that Luck Aura couldn¡¯t be used right now.

    "..." Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "I had forgotten about this."

    "Let me give it a try."

    Spirit said smilingly, "Although I can¡¯t utilize the power of Luck Aura, oddly, I am very sensitive to everything concerning the power of luck..." Spirit cast her senses out. "Mhm..."

    Within her senses, some vague dots of light appeared. She couldn¡¯t get a clear look at them. However, it was sufficient for her to obtain a rough estimate of their locations.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed. "Excellent." With his apex strength nowadays, he would be nearly unstoppable.

    Shua! Shua!

    In the following period, Chen Feng swept through the numerous corners of the world, gathering everything with the power of luck regardless of whether it was Spirit Sea wood or not. These items were all fed to his Luck Aura. Even though the update was still notpleted even after all this, he could clearly see that Spirit appeared more distinct now.

    It was indeed working. Somewhat unfortunately, he failed to locate any Spirit Sea wood during his searches.

    Spirit shook her head. "That was a rare item in the first ce."

    Spirit Sea wood was a legendary item and was easily destroyed. As such, merely obtaining some clues about its traces was already a sufficiently good result. Chen Feng continued his crazy search. s, even as he approached the date of departure to the devil race¡¯s territory, the update was still notplete.

    The world of Luck Aura still seemed dead with only the asional appearance of Spirit wearing an anxious expression on her face. Evidently, she did not fancy such an empty world either.

    "How much longer?" asked Chen Feng.

    Spirit was bewildered. "I don¡¯t know. I can only feel that it¡¯s nearpletion, but as for the exact time..." Spirit shook her head. She couldn¡¯t ascertain the exact timing of the update¡¯spletion.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "It seems like I can only rely on myself this time, then."

    Even those peak beyond A sses of the Gic Union weren¡¯t afraid. What should an S ss like him be afraid of? He was, after all, the theoretical number one expert of the human race. Yet despite this being true, Chen Feng was still a sort of bogus S ss.

    In a sense, the present him was simr to an A-ss warrior that had yet to fuse with an A-ss gene. Even now, Chen Feng didn¡¯t understand what the power of S ss was. The present him was merely somewhat stronger than a peak beyond A ss. Moreover, his superiority was purely in terms of brute force. He was confident that his pure brute force and energy alone would most certainly surpass all A sses. However, those peak beyond A sses still possessed numerous unfathomable abilities, or perhaps unique abilities that ignored all energy, such as what Kong Bai possessed. These were things even an S ss like him did not possess.

    Previously, he¡¯d had his Luck Aura as his trump card. As such, he¡¯d had no misgivings. Now that he didn¡¯t have his Luck Aura, he had to be extra careful in everything he did. This was especially true since his opponent this time was simrly an S ss. This was also why Chen Feng had requested to participate in this mission as well. He had to witness with his own eyes the methods avable to an S ss, to witness the true power of an S ss.

    The Gic Union joined this mission for the sake of the devil genes, but he had joined for the sake of power.

    The next day, under the great works of the Diplo¡ªno, the Foreign Affairs Department, the humans and ancients reached an agreement. The ancients would deploy several peak beyond A sses as well. An allied squad of 12 was formed for this S-ss devil-hunting mission. And with this, the first joint mission of the humans and ancients began.

 Chapter 600: A Magnificent Existence

    Chapter 600: A Magnificent Existence

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In a certain area within the unknown regions that the humans, ancients, and devils had yet to start developing was a bright and clearke. The surface of theke looked like a wless white jade. A light-yellow stone floated above theke, flickering with a faint yellow light like rhythmic breathing.

    Howl¡ª

    A mutated beast appeared. With greed, the beast gazed at that stone. It was about to dash over. Suddenly, a blue leopard appeared from behind it and pushed this beast to the ground before killing it. When the gaze of the leopardnded on the stone above theke, vignce shed through its gaze. With utmost caution, it approached that stone. A glint shed through its eyes as it appeared eager to give it a try. Just as it was about to rush out...

    Xiu!

    A meteor descended abruptly, smashing down to the ground nearby.

    Whoosh!

    The blue leopard had already been prepared for this and vanished in a sh. The ground it had stepped on previously had already been struck. The leopard only reappeared after a long time. All around, there were several tens of craters, all created by meteors. Every time it acted in a way that would threaten that stone, a cmity would befall it.

    It would either be attacked by some other beasts, or even nts, or a cmity would descend from the sky. As for that stone, it remained safe and sound even now. Around the stone was a huge pile of bones.

    Howl¡ª

    The blue leopard howled threateningly before retreating slowly. Above theke, that stone flickered as usual, as if nothing had happened at all.

    ...

    Countless howls could be heard. Countless beasts wanted to enter, yet all died in mysterious ways. Right at this instant, a faint figure formed in the distance. An aged figure appeared. Step by step, he walked forth until he arrived.

    "Indeed... Is it rted to you?"

    The old man raised his foot, trying to step into theke.

    Bang!

    A meteor descended abruptly.

    The old man shook his head, raised his hand, and waved. That meteor descending with boundless might was exterminated the moment it neared the old man, unable to cause any sort of harm to that old man.

    The old man narrowed his eyes. "Interesting."

    Shua!

    He stepped on theke¡¯s surface. Light started swirling about. The space around him cracked, and next, a spatial tunnel appeared out of thin air for no apparent reason. A boundless pulling force appeared, trying to pull the old man in. The old man raised his hand and destroyed the spatial tunnel with brute force and took yet another step forward.

    Bang!

    From the¡¯s core, suddenly,va erupted upward. Combined with the power of energy, every single burst ofva carried astonishing might. All of it charged in the direction of that old man. At this, the smile on that old man¡¯s face shrunk somewhat.

    Hum¡ª

    After stopping theva, he took another step forward.

    Bang! Bang!

    From below theke, boundless power erupted.

    Lava...

    Water...

    Radiance...

    ...

    All sorts of wondrous and mystical powers charged out one after another, all trying to stop the old man¡¯s progress. The energy barrier around the old man, which had been capable of blocking everything, was fading. Ultimately, the old man stopped his steps.

    He contemted. "It¡¯s intelligent?"

    Shua!

    His figure shed. Instantly, he appeared beside the stone and grabbed at it. s, right at this instant, he felt a stifling sense of crisis. His entire body felt like he had been thrown into an icy cave. This was a feeling he had never experienced in his whole life... the sense of death.

    He stopped his hand that was reaching toward the stone. There was no gushing energy around him and no fatal danger could be seen, yet his entire body still stopped, and he retreated one step at a time. By the time he had left theke surface, his back was already drenched with sweat.

    "This thing..."

    An rmed expression appeared on his face. This thing was much scarier than he had imagined, yet it just had to be in such a ce. Gazing at that ordinary-looking stone that was still flickering with a faint yellow light as it floated above theke, the old man gave it a deep gaze before ultimately deciding to leave. Theke recovered its previous tranquility.

    **

    In the devil race¡¯s territory.

    The devils under themand of the old devil were increasing in number without stop. With the help of that S-ss devil, he defeated all opposition among the devils. Nearly every newly reawakened devil had fallen under his control, bing his devoted underling.

    A flying devil in the sky passed on some information. "The humans have arrived..."

    "I am aware of that." The old devil stood up. The humans had indeed not given up yet.

    Ever since the humans had received news regarding the S ss, they had been akin to a cat that had smelled a fish. They had had their gaze fixed on the devils all this while, unwilling to look away. This was inevitable. The humans and the ancients might have the potential to coexist in peace, but how about the devils? It was impossible.

    First, a huge amount of devils were still in hibernation in the soil beneath the humannds. Second, the humans were a race that increased their strength through gene fusion, and the devils were included among the materials for the humans¡¯ fusion gene reagents. The genes of the devils could be used like all the other mutated beasts. As such, their rtionship was more akin to predator and prey.

    The humans and devils werepletely ipatible with each other. The old devil knew that a day woulde when the humans came for them, yet he had never imagined that during the war between the humans and the devils, the ancients would actually join in as allies of the humans.

    The old devil¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Have they be much more idiotic after bing female?"

    Since the humans and the ancients had joined hands, he would just eliminate both races together. Normally, he would not have a chance to aplish such feat. However, since he had already been expecting the arrival of the humans, he naturally had made his own preparations. This was the final chance for the declining devil race.

    He stood up.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance started condensing. In the distant vige, numerous steles filled with seals stood tall. Around the steles lingered an odd mist. The devils took in a deep breath and an expression of utmost pleasure appeared on their faces. Vaguely, their strength was increasing. This was the preciousnd of the devils and also thend of death for the humans and ancients.

    "The wind is blowing," the old devil muttered. Suddenly, a bizarre wind started howling. On the ground that had previously appeared deste, numerous trees appeared. Instantly, this deste in transformed into a forest, a forest filled with a cold aura. The numerous steles had actually all transformed into trees. And with that, this bizarre ce had transformed into an extremely ordinary-looking forest. Faintly, some terrifying things could be seen wandering about the ground and the sky, causing the scalps of any onlookers to feel numb.

    This was the domain of the devils.

    Howl¡ª

    Numerous howls resounded. Countless crow-shaped devils flew out. The eyes of the old devil gleamed coldly, seemingly capable of seeing the myriad world, seeing every nook and corner within a thousand miles. Suddenly, a certain spot within the mist rolled. The old devil focused his gaze. The humans had arrived.

    "I have been waiting a long time for you guys." The old devil grinned, revealing a row of yellow teeth with faint traces of blood on them. Presently, far away from the devils, the joint squad of the humans and ancients had appeared in the outer forest.

    "This should be the ce," ady of the ancient race stated sweetly. She walked back and forth as her attractive, tiny waist swerved right and left. When she walked past the Gic Union president, she even threw him a wink before pping the president¡¯s butt. "Quite perky."

    "???"

    The president was dumbstruck. His eyes widened¡ªhe had evidently yet to recover from his shock. He, the illustrious president of the Gic Union, stillmanded a healthy amount of respect even though he usually stayed in seclusion all year round, yet now... Was he too behind the times, or was it that these ancients were too brave?

    He abruptly extended his hand. "You..."

    "Calm down, calm down." Ba Gu pulled at the president and whispered, "These ancients are not used to human culture yet. In their understanding, this act of pping one¡¯s butt is merely a simple act of flirting."

    Ka! Ka!

    The president clenched his fists tightly.

    "Investigate this fellow for me." The president took in a deep breath. "If she was originally female, I will forget about it, but if his original name is something like Gou Dan, Tie Zhu, Tuo Ni, or something simr, I will most certainly beat him to death."

    Ba Gu smiled bitterly. He looked at the fellow that had dared to mess with their president and found that the person was still busy throwing flirtatious nces over. Evidently, she had yet to discover the bizarre mood around her...

    What was this? Should he advise them? He dared not. Everyone here was a peak beyond A ss¡ªhe was the only exception. That was because the ancients that hade were all the leaders of the ancient race rather thanmon citizens. As such, to avoid friction, Ba Gu was required to be here. And thus, this Foreign Affairs Department head had been brought along this mission.

    Chen Feng patted his shoulder. "It has been hard on you."

    "..." Ba Gu felt extremely helpless. "We are truly not the Diplomacy Department!"

    "I know," Chen Feng stated with a respectful expression. "How can you guys be the Diplomacy Department? In this honeymoon period between the humans and ancients, it is of utmost importance to prevent any frictions. Your tasks are not as simple as diplomacy. Rather, you guys are as magnificent as lube."

    "???" Ba Gu was dumbstruck.

    Friction between humans and ancients...

    Lube...

    It sounded normal, but as he thought about it, he kept feeling that this did not sound right. What damnable analogy was this?

    Ba Gu was furious. "I am the Foreign..."

    Chen Feng patted his shoulder and gave him a profound look. "I know."

    Ba Gu raged. What the hell is this profound look for? When he finally tried to say something, he noticed that Chen Feng had already left. He could only hold his anger in. Looking at the nces the youngdy of the ancient race was sending him, he had no choice but to personally go and cate them. Afterward, he recalled that look on Chen Feng¡¯s face...

    Screw you! I am only going over to cate them! cate! Ba Gu cried a tearless cry. Why had the fine Foreign Affairs Department changed vors after arriving here?

    "Is this the ce?" the president asked as he stared ahead. There, a forest could be seen. Based on the information they had obtained, the S-ss devil and a majority of the devils were hiding here.

    An ancient general stood out. "Yes." Her name was Tianyu Liming, and she was the strongest expert of the ancients here. Although this person with a unique identity, this war god of the ancients, had once been male, since he had been gay, he had unperturbed been his transformation into a woman. As her attraction to males was now as it should be, the change in gender was a good thing for her.

    This time, the reason she had offered to join this mission was because a short while ago, during one of their battles, she had fallen in love with the strongest expert of the humans: Liu Dongjiang, the current president of the Gic Union. As the strongest expert among the military officers of the ancients, she would only like the strongest expert among the humans.

    "The devils will not let us do as we wish. It¡¯s better if we are extra prudent," Tianyu Liming said. Next, she paused, seemingly trying to say something. "They have already been warned by me. They will no longer confess their love toward you."

    President: "..." So for you folks, this is a method of confessing love?

    The people around them all moved further away to give them some spacergely because of the excessively powerful aura these two exuded. It was so powerful that an ordinary person could not endure this pressure around them. Even if they were all simrly peak beyond A sses, there was still a difference in theirbat power. It was obvious that the president and this general were the outstanding ones among everyone here.

    "The rest take a rest. Tian Dao, San Jian, the two of you go and scout this forest," the presidentmanded.

    "Yes."

    The rest stayed behind. The president did not realize that the general beside him was gazing at him tenderly.

    "Interesting."

    Chen Feng observed this from a distance in an engrossed manner. It was said that this general was the strongest among the ancients. If she unleashed her full power, even Qin Hai would not dare to face her directly. If she and the president...

    Mhm, it will most certainly be interesting.

    Chen Feng felt gratified. The Land of Legacy of the ancients had always been a ce the humans were worried about. The warriors with odd diamonds on their heads there were the strongest among the ancients. Moreover, due to various reasons, they were probably not willing to coexist peacefully with the humans. This was the only thing Chen Feng was worried about. Fortunately, ording to Qin Hai, they had not gotten themselves involved in this matter of the union between humans and ancients. All along, they had never appeared.

    What did those people think of this? Chen Feng was clueless. However, if they couldpletely conquer the ancient race before those people in the Land of Legacy got involved, assimting the ancientspletely, it would be toote even if the Land of Legacy decided to get involved.

    "Wu."

    Chen Feng¡¯s mind worked rapidly as his gaze swept over the president and the general without stop. By the side, Ba Gu gave Chen Feng a nce. At that look, all his hairs stood on end. Holy shit, Chen Feng wasn¡¯t thinking of scheming against even the president, right?

    Ba Guughed dryly and denied that thought. No, that¡¯s impossible! How could that be possible? This was the president, the strongest expert of humanity, the apex human who was halfway into S ss. s, before this thought even settled, Chen Feng could be seen walking silently toward the president. With a gloomy tone, he stated to the ancients in a low voice, "Are you interested in buying it?"

    "???"

    Ba Gu widened his eyes. Holy shit, this guy...

    "Are you interested in purchasing all information on our president?" whispered Chen Feng. "Due to the status of our president, all sorts of information regarding him has been recorded within the Gic Union. His various poses and postures, and the video recordings of what he did back then when he joined the selection for the president..."

    Tianyu Liming¡¯s interest was piqued. "You have all of them?"

    "Of course." Chen Feng gazed at the long-legged beauty before him and said in a low voice, "All the information has been saved on this virtual CD. Inside, I have also included a romance guide, which contains many of our president¡¯s preferences."

    "How much are you selling it for?" Tianyu Liming asked in a low voice. The manner in which these two talked was akin to two members of some underground society.

    "I¡¯m giving it to you for free. But please take care of me during this trip," Chen Feng said in a low voice. "Even though I am also a peak beyond A ss, I am essentially a producer with lowerbat power. I do not wish to die here."

    "Understood." Tianyu Liming understood what Chen Feng wanted.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng transmitted the data to her, and the trade wasplete.

    Ba Gu: "..."

    With his very own eyes, he watched as Chen Feng pimped their president out.

    Ba Gu gulped. "This... is somewhat excessive?"

    "How is this excessive?" Chen Feng nced at him and solemnly said, "You think our mission this time is an easy one? That is an S ss we are targeting. Any carelessness will result in all of us perishing here. It is a good thing that the strongest expert of the ancients is in love with our president. With this, they will surely protect our president with all they have," Chen Feng said gravely.

    "Is that so?" Ba Gu felt ashamed as he heard Chen Feng¡¯s exnation. Chen Feng had actually thought that far ahead. So he was making use of the feelings of the ancient race to protect the president? Chen Feng was too thoughtful! Ba Gu felt that he was truly too young to have not thought of all this.

    "No matter what you do, you must think more." Chen Feng patted Ba Gu¡¯s shoulder and pointed toward the distant ancient race. "For example, it is time for you to attend to them now."

    Ba Gu¡¯s face darkened. "I am cating them, not attending!" Could Chen Feng not use such a choice of words that could easily cause misunderstandings?

    At this time, the distant Tianyu Liming finished reading the "Autobiography of the President," "Encyclopedia of the President¡¯s Favorite Food and Drinks," "The Lost First Love of the President," and so on. Next, she started her grand undertaking of pursuing the president. She did as the books told her, maintaining a certain distance between her and the president in order to leave a good impression on him.

    Indeed, the president appeared rather satisfied with the distance that the general maintained with him.

    Just look, this particr ancient waspletely different than those other flirtatious sluts. Those people would even ster their bodies upon his own if they could. This fellow was the only one maintaining a certain distance from him. Splendid. The president was satisfied.

    Tianyu Liming was inwardly overjoyed. "It indeed works." That person called Chen Feng had indeed not been scamming her. The president truly preferred those graceful, reserved, and colddies. Right at this moment, Tian Dao and San Jian returned from their scouting mission.

    "Everything seems normal," San Jian stated after pondering for a moment. "We didn¡¯t note anything abnormal, but then again, the yin aura is rather dense in the forest. Perhaps, some devils with the yin property are residing within."

    "They are indeed within the forest," Tian Dao stated in a deep voice. He specialized in detecting life force. "The eyes of the devils could be sensed at all times, both from underground and from the sky. They could be anywhere in the forest."

    The president nodded. "Well done. Let¡¯s set off, then. This time, we shall leave them no way out."

    Chapter 602: The Terror of S ss

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In the devil race¡¯s territory, the group of 12 advanced cautiously through the forest. The devils seemed to have some sort of feeling toward forests, as no matter where the devils went, they would create a forest there that could help them conceal themselves. It seemed stupid, yet it was also effective. Everyone raised their head, and the only thing that entered their sight was endless trees.

    San Jian nced around. "The visibility here is very low."

    "No life-forms detected in our vicinity..."

    Before Tian Dao could even finish his sentence...

    "Careful!"

    Bang!

    A shiny sh streaked past. Tian Dao dodged hastily, but the pitch-ck sh still brushed his cheek, leaving behind a bright-red bloody scar.

    Shua!

    His eyes shed red as his scouting ability was activated, yet nothing was discovered.

    "Not a life-form?" Tian Dao frowned. "San Jian, have you found anything?"

    San Jian shook his head. "Nope." Tian Dao specialized in scouting and locking onto things with signs of life within, whereas Tian Dao was good at observing the environment. Both of them had their specific skill sets, yet this attack had been able to avoid any sort of detection from either of them. Even with their strength at peak beyond A ss, they had still failed to detect it.

    "Not a life-form and not environmental... Is that some sort of puppet?" they guessed.

    "Let¡¯s go get a look from above."

    They left and tried searching from the sky. Yet the moment they were rising up in the sky, a blood-red sh pierced through their chests.

    Plop!

    The two corpses fell loudly to the ground.

    The rest chilled as they saw this. "Dead?"

    The rxed mood vanished. Someone was dead. They had just entered the forest and two were already dead. Moreover, the two killed were the ones with the strongest detection abilities, the peak beyond A sses Tian Dao and San Jian.

    "Damn it." Ba Gu felt his scalp go numb. That attack... Only an S ss could kill those two instantly. They had ultimately underestimated the devil race, resulting in this happening.

    The devil race¡¯s intelligence was not any lower than that of the humans or ancients. Although that S ss had failed to fully reawaken, the old devil controlling him was a treacherous one. Hunting the devils waspletely different than hunting wild animals. In this forest, the humans and the ancients were the prey instead.

    Bang!

    The president made his move and sted away the numerous trees around them. But, to their horror, the trees that had just been destroyed grew back instantaneously.

    With a solemn expression, the president said, "This ce... is a maze."

    A maze even San Jian had failed to detect? The creator of the maze...

    Tianyu Liming sneered. "S ss!" Only that person, the S ss of the devils, could set up a maze that even a peak beyond A ss would fail to detect. Perhaps this mission would be much harder than they had imagined. Losing two peak beyond A ss scouts, their subsequent progress would not be easy.

    "This so-called maze should be the devils¡¯ protective barrier. First, they created this maze where one can¡¯t get a sense of direction and can¡¯t detect anything within. Next, they have that S ss ambush us while hiding..."

    Ba Gu inhaled deeply. Normally, as an apex existence, especially an S ss, such a person would have the arrogance of a top expert and be extremely concerned with their face. This applied to even people like Ba Gu. If they as beyond A sses had to ambush some B sses, that would be truly too embarrassing.

    Yet here, this S ss was obviously not bothered by this. This was akin to the story of the brave warrior and the evil dragon. In this story, the brave warrior and hispanions worked hard to level up before ultimately ying the evil dragon. When had one ever heard of a version where the evil dragon headed to the novice vige in a shameless manner to ambush the brave warrior? Moreover...

    Li Lei, who had been keeping silent all this while, said, "He is much stronger now."

    The president took a deep breath. "I have miscalcted."

    After being in such a high position for so long, his thought process had evidently be much too rigid.

    A total of six people from the Gic Union had joined this time, and now, only four were left. With Chen Feng, the producer-cum-warrior included, theirbat power had been reduced quite significantly.

    The president sighed. "We will have to rely on you ancients next." The ancients were evidently better in terms of operating in a ce like this.

    Tianyu Liming nodded her head. "Understood. Formation."

    Shua!

    The ancients stood around the group and started exploring the forest cautiously.

    "They have already discovered our existence. That S ss couldunch a surprise attack at any time. With his strength, none of us will be able to stop him. As such, everyone must stay within this defensive formation."

    Bang! Bang!

    The ancients formed a powerful sealed formation. They did not have any scouts, but they possessed warriors exceptional in both defending and attacking, each of them of excellent quality.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance whirled around them. The yin aura pervading this forest was, to a certain extent, expelled by this formation.

    "Chen Feng, you stay in the innermost area of the group," the president said.

    "All right." Chen Feng stood in between all of them obediently. When facing this true S ss, Chen Feng decided to y the role of a gene producer. Tian Dao and San Jian had been killed so fast that even Chen Feng hadn¡¯t been able to react to it. In fact, he didn¡¯t even know what that red sh had been.

    Chen Feng was fearful. "Is this the power of an S ss?"

    "His strength is returning to him without stop," Li Lei stated with a solemn expression. "We have truly been too rash this time."

    The president sighed. "But we had no choice but toe, right?" They hadn¡¯t had any choice but to make this trip. This was their only chance to eliminate the devil race. Nobody could predict what would happen when the devil race recovered enough of their strength, when that S ss recovered. In any case, the ancients still had their Land of Legacy, but the humans might suffer extinction!

    Li Lei did not reply to that. To the side, Chen Feng felt somewhat awkward.

    In fact, he wanted to tell them that he was also an S ss as well. The devils and the ancients were not the only ones with an S ss in their ranks. Now, humans had their own S ss as well. However, as he thought about that S-ss devil¡¯sbat power, Chen Feng could only submit.

    He had yet to grasp the power of S ss, and his Luck Aura was still not working. Currently, he was only capable of beating a single peak beyond A ss. That was all.

    Chen Feng took a deep breath. "Spirit, observe the surroundings for me."

    Spirit nodded. "Understood." Even if he couldn¡¯t use Luck Aura, Spirit could still serve as an extra pair of eyes to help observe his surroundings. As for scouting...

    "Xiao Ying, I will be relying on you," Chen Feng muttered.

    Shua!

    A red sh shot out of his hand and vanished. Xiao Ying¡¯s body turned illusory and rose up to the sky in the direction of that earlier red sh. However, after streaking forth for only one minute, Xiao Ying stopped.

    Before Xiao Ying was an illusory barrier that blocked his advance. That¡¯s right, here, Xiao Ying was actually stopped from advancing.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shed red. Through Xiao Ying¡¯s eyes, he gazed at the world beyond the barrier. There, a huge pair of eyes could be seen flickering with a red radiance. That was precisely the red that had killed both Tian Dao and San Jian earlier.

    That is...

    Chen Feng was rmed. At this time, that huge pair of eyes suddenly nced in his direction. The blood-red gaze swept around the air before ultimatelynding on Xiao Ying.

    This thing is able to see Xiao Ying?

    Chen Feng had an ominous feeling and was about to recall Xiao Ying.

    Bang!

    The terrifying red radiance shone yet again.

 Chapter 603: What Nice Timing

    Chapter 603: What Nice Timing

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed greatly. "Xiao Ying!"

    Bang!

    The red radiance pierced through Xiao Ying. Chen Feng¡¯s expression was unsightly. This was the very first time Xiao Ying¡¯s illusory form had been seen through ever since he had started following Chen Feng. S ss was indeed much more terrifying than Chen Feng had guessed.

    Pain...

    An intense thought was transmitted to Chen Feng.

    Xiao Ying had attempted to devour this power as well. However, due to this power being too strong, Xiao Ying waspletely incapable of devouring it. Instead, it was now on the verge of imploding.

    Chen Feng tried to recall Xiao Ying. "Return!"

    Suddenly, Spirit stated, "Chen Feng, he is now tangled with that S-ss power. If you recall him, he might be affected. You might be injured as well."

    "I know," replied Chen Feng with a calm expression. Despite the danger, he had to recall Xiao Ying.

    Once again, he tried to recall Xiao Ying. "Return!" Yet surprisingly, even under the intense pain, Xiao Ying tried to resist Chen Feng¡¯s summon. He was rejecting the summon!

    "Xiao Ying!" Chen Feng shouted. Although Xiao Ying had a unique identity, he was ultimately one who had fused with Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual energy. As such, when Chen Feng was recalling him, he had to return. And now, he was actually thinking of resisting Chen Feng¡¯s summon. Evidently, as Spirit said, Xiao Ying was worried that he might implicate Chen Feng if he returned.

    "Damn it." Chen Feng took a deep breath. That S-ss power was too strong. If he did not recall Xiao Ying as soon as possible, something bad might happen to Xiao Ying. Even if Xiao Ying didn¡¯t die, his consciousness would be cleanly erased from this. For a life-form such as Xiao Ying, erasing his consciousness was no different than death.

    Chen Feng shouted, "Return!"

    Bang!

    The will of an S ss descended as he summoned Xiao Ying. In a hegemonic manner, Chen Feng recalled Xiao Ying with brute force. And thus, Xiao Ying returned.

    Apanying Xiao Ying in his return was that unique power of an S ss. Entwined around Xiao Ying¡¯s body, the power entered Chen Feng¡¯s consciousness, bringing with it a terrifying attack.

    A firm expression appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "Come."

    We are both S sses. I can¡¯t beat you, but can I not even beat your energy?

    Bang!

    The red surged. Chen Feng tried to destroy this energy with force, but this energy was much more frightening than he had imagined. With his power, he was incapable of even shaking it even though he was an S ss as well.

    Bang! Bang!

    The red radiance entered Chen Feng. With all his power, Chen Feng resisted it. From the instant he had recalled Xiao Ying, he had been prepared for this. With his present strength, if he decided to resist it with brute force, he might be able to seed. Even though his power was not as strong as the red radiance, he had more of it, since his body was the battleground.

    "Come!" Chen Feng howled.

    Bang! Bang!

    The two powers collided. Chen Feng could feel his body tearing apart. This power wasn¡¯t the terrifying part. However, when two S-ss powers shed within his body, his body was incapable of enduring the impact and was breaking apart without stop.

    Bang! Bang!

    Blood sshed around. Chen Feng¡¯s body went through a constant cycle of destruction and reconstruction.

    Chen Feng clenched his teeth. I can hang on! Right at this instant, he seemed to hear a sigh. A familiar yet unfamiliar voice resounded, and abruptly, a gush of formidable power surged out.

    Bang!

    With a bright radiance, a formidable existence descended upon Chen Feng¡¯s consciousness. That person was familiar, and they were wearing a familiar... robe.

    "Chen Feng!" Ming Yue wrapped a bathrobe around her and pointed at Chen Feng in anger. "Must you guys meet danger every time I take a shower?"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Bang!

    The red surged. As this power saw Ming Yue¡¯s appearance, its first reaction was to charge over.

    "Courting death."

    Ming Yue hadcked an outlet to vent her anger, but now this red power had "offered" itself to Ming Yue. She clutched at this power and started beating it up so badly until ultimately, the red power be docile. Next, she tossed it over to Xiao Ying.

    Ming Yue frowned. "A power like this..."

    She remembered how previously, Chen Feng¡¯s opponents had normally been B sses, A sses, and so on. Why had they encountered an enemy of this level now? What in the world had these two fellows been up to?

    "What exactly are the two of you doing?" Ming Yue was about to say something more when her body started flickering. "Indeed... descending upon this ce with force has exhausted too much energy? Chen Feng! Protect Xiao Ying properly! This damnable ce... restrictions... Something is off... No wonder even I can feel a sense of crisis..."

    Shua!

    Her figure vanished cleanly. As for Xiao Ying, he had just finished devouring a huge amount of S-ss power and his body was now round and plump, greatly resembling a rubber ball. Having had his fill, he started sleeping with a resounding snore. It was still unknown if devouring such arge quantity of unique power would be a good thing or a bad thing for him.

    She left?

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. He had a feeling that something wasn¡¯t right. The appearance of Ming Yue had been too coincidental. In the past, she had only appeared so coincidentally after serious nning by Chen Feng coupled with the help of a huge amount of luck value. Yet earlier... Ming Yue had appeared without any warning.

    Based on what she had said, she had sensed some sort of crisis? But then, Chen Feng remembered that she had once said that being so far apart, being in different worlds, she was incapable of sensing a crisis in this world. Why had she discovered that they were in danger, then?

    This was truly odd. Moreover, earlier, Chen Feng had sensed a familiar power. Luck! He looked inwardly. His Luck Aura was still updating¡ªthere was no sign of activity there. Misconception? Impossible! Why, then? Or perhaps, this time, it had truly been pure luck? Ming Yue had, for some reason, sensed what was happening here and arrived? But she had obviously been in the middle of a shower...

    "Spirit, did you sense anything?" Chen Feng asked suddenly.

    "No." Spirit shook her head and asked curiously, "What¡¯s up?"

    "I seem to have felt the power of luck." Chen Feng pondered before continuing, "Otherwise, Ming Yue could not have appeared so coincidentally."

    Spirit appeared quite doubtful as well. "That should not be the case. If the power of luck were around, I would most certainly be able to sense it. Of course, if it was merely a coincidence, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to sense it."

    "Is that so?" Chen Feng contemted. In other words, this time, it had been pure coincidence? After being unlucky for so long, fortune had finally smiled upon him this one time? During such a crucial moment as well? Chen Feng frowned.

    Xiao Ying...

    Ming Yue...

    Coincidence...

    Numerous thoughts shed through his mind.

    "Chen Feng!"

    "Chen Feng!"

    Numerous rmed cries called him back to the real world. He opened his eyes and noticed that the president and several others were looking at him anxiously. Xiao Ying had always remained in an illusory form and they were unable to see him. But blood had suddenly begun spurting out of Chen Feng¡¯s body earlier, giving them a fright.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "I¡¯m fine. I might have been too nervous and had a minor breakthrough."

    Li Lei looked at Chen Feng like he was looking at a retard. "Minor breakthrough?" Breakthrough? So when you break through, your body cracks and your blood stters everywhere? The amount of blood you spurted out earlier was crazy! Who would buy this?

    "I¡¯m really fine." Chen Feng smiled. "But I have discovered the location of that fellow."

    "Oh?"

    All their eyes shone. With his screen, he transmitted the coordinates to all of them. They all sank into thought. It seemed like Chen Feng had suffered some bacsh from scouting this ce earlier...

    Ba Gu felt somewhat ashamed. Everyone advanced slowly, waiting for their chance. Right at this instant, Tianyu Liming¡¯s eyes, which had remained shut, suddenly opened. "It¡¯sing."

    Her eyes gleamed coldly as radiance swirled around her hand. The defensive formation was activated, forming a huge shield. Distantly, the barrier of the forest opened abruptly and a blood-red radiance shed toward them.

    Bang!

    A bright explosion erupted.

    The defensive formation was tottering from being sted, but ultimately, it sessfully blocked the S-ss attack.

    The president¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Now!" He had been waiting a long time for this moment.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. The president moved. A terrifying energy sted toward where the red light hade from. Before the forest barrier couldpletely close up, the attack forcefully sted in.

    Bang!

    A translucent shockwave erupted resoundingly. All the trees and fog vanished. The maze put in ce by the devils had obviously failed. In the distance, the seals and the devils were now faintly discernible. As everyone saw this, they heaved a sigh of relief. They had finally gotten rid of the maze. Next would be the true battle.

 Chapter 604: No Choice but to Battle

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "You guys were actually capable of solving the maze," came the hoarse voice of the old devil, seemingly rather surprised. Beside him, several dozen powerful devils were prostrated on the ground, expressing their loyalty to this old devil. The old devil snorted, ignoring the devils around him. "Hpmh."

    "Kill!" Tianyu Limingmanded coldly.

    Swoosh!

    Instantly, the joint squad of humans and ancients made their move. The tricks and maze of the devils had indeed done some damage to them and had even killed two of them. However, that was it. Theprehensive strength of this declined devil race was much weaker than the humans and ancients.

    Bang!

    The several dozen devils moved. s, they were all cannon fodder. Their apparently powerful bodies were akin to paper. The president, who was still furious over the two deaths, vented his anger on these devils.

    Pu!

    Blood sttered around. The president alone ughtered no less than 10 devils. These devils would have difficulty facing even one of the ancients or humans. Now that both the humans and ancients had joined hands, the devils had no way of even fighting back.

    Instantly, all the devils were killed, leaving only the old devil behind. He was still seated there gloomily, watching on as his underlings died for him. Despite the deaths, he remained unmoved, watching on coldly.

    The president sneered. "Still not willing to let that person act?" Naturally, the president was referring to that S-ss devil.

    "Something like an ambush will only work once," Tianyu Liming stated coldly. The deaths they had suffered earlier on had been due to ack of preparations, as they had not expected the S ss to ambush them. As long as they were prepared for it, an ambush was a joke.

    The old devil smiled sinisterly. "Hehe. I have been waiting a long time for you guys."

    The president made his move without hesitation. "Kill him!"

    Bang!

    A surge of energy erupted. s, surprising them all, when his attack neared the old devil, it stopped. Around the old devil, circles of light-blue energy shone in a mechanical fashion, blocking the president¡¯s attack. At present, the numerous steles were flickering with a petrifying might.

    Tianyu Liming¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Is it due to those things?"

    Bang! Bang!

    She started sting those steles.

    Hum¡ª

    Blue light shed, but the steles remained fine.

    Tianyu Liming shook her head. "Can¡¯t damage them. The attacks feel like theynded on cotton."

    "Hehehehe." The old devilughed wildly. "Using the terms of you humans, that is an S-ss barrier. It is impossible for attacks at your level to prate the barrier."

    S ss...

    The president and Tianyu Liming exchanged a nce. In a regr battle, S-ss power would indeed be of a higher level than them. However, S-ss power used by an iplete S-ss devil wasn¡¯t particrly powerful. But these barriers...

    The president thought of something, and his expression changed. "This power had been improved by you."

    The old devilughed sinisterly. "Indeed. Do you really think that I am not aware of what you guys were prepared to do? Since you guys have appeared here, I suppose you guys have already thought of a method to deal with S sses, right? Let me give it a guess: the urine of that ex-prince? You guys have solved the mystery of the urine, right? Hahahaha."

    Their expressions changed as they heard these words. This guy... was even aware of this?

    "This can be found out with simple deduction, no?" The old devil had a faint smile on his face. "You guys must have believed that since I want to control the S-ss devil, I will have to keep him in an iplete state, right? After all, the moment the consciousness of the S ss returns, he will most certainly not remain under my control, right? Hehe. That is indeed the case. But do you guys think that I will give him a chance to return? Do you guys think that if his consciousness is incapable of returning, I will not be able to utilize the true S-ss power? No, how wrong that is... How idiotic are you guys?"

    "Howl¡ª"

    A loud howl resounded. Up in the air, a huge figure appeared. The S-ss devil had returned. He appeared up in the sky with terrifying energy enveloping his body. Along with his appearance was the appearance of that S-ss power they were all so very familiar with. Mhm, this should be an iplete S-ss power.

    "Not too strong, no?" The old devil smiled faintly. "How about..." The old devil waved his hand.

    Bang!

    All the steles around them started to shine. A gush of power bloomed from his body before surging up into the sky to fuse with the energy of that S-ss devil. Ultimately, a brand-new power was formed. This new power was as strong as aplete S ss.

    "Not good."

    Their expressions sank. None of them had expected this old devil to be capable of recreating a true S-ss power. It was no wonder that this old devil had not gotten this S-ss devil to make any moves previously. This guy was no longer something like a puppet. Rather, this guy was now a fountain supplying power to this old devil.

    "Haha." The old devilughed wildly. "This is my ability, improvement! I am able to improve all powers! Hahaha, thank you all for appearing here... Now, be my undying servants!"

    Bang!

    The old devil waved his hand. A dreadful and deep darkness descended.

    "First, I¡¯ll kill you all. Next, I¡¯ll refine you all into puppets. I shall be the master of this world. Hahahahaha!"

    The old devilughed wildly. Devils? Ancients? Humans? To hell with all of them!

    Hu¡ª

    Hu¡ª

    A devilish wind started zing.

    "Defend," Tianyu Liming howled. When that dreadful ck wind swept past her face, her face ached terribly. The ancients erected their defenses immediately but were still having difficulties hanging on. Even with their strength, they couldn¡¯t endure this devilish wind.

    The president clenched his teeth tightly. "S ss..."

    "Are we not able to beat him?" howled Tianyu Liming amid the devilish wind.

    "We had originally expected to face an iplete S ss. Only around 10 peak beyond A sses would have been required for that feat. Coupled with the help of the sealing reagent produced with the young prince, perhaps even six of us would already have been sufficient." The president sighed. "But now..."

    He stared ahead. That S-ss devil was staying away from them, and they had no way of approaching him. Thus, they had no way of sealing that S-ss devil. And with that old devil¡¯s improvement ability, what they faced was aplete S-ss power.

    The president made a swift judgment. "Based on my calctions, we would require 20 peak beyond A sses to deal with this power."

    Twenty? The hearts of others chilled as they heard this. Originally, they had been a squad of twelve, even after including Ba Gu and Chen Feng. After the death of Tian Dao and San Jian, they only had 10 peak beyond A sses here.

    How were they supposed to fight this with only half the required strength?

    Hu¡ª

    Hu¡ª

    The ancients¡¯ defenses started tottering. This devilish wind was too powerful. They had no way of resisting. Was this the real power of an S ss? The president had a bitter feeling. He had been cultivating hard his entire life yet ultimately failed to reach that level.

    Right at this instant, Tianyu Liming howled before standing before everyone.

    "Twenty peak beyond A sses, huh?" Sheughed crazily.

    Bang!

    She stabbed her weapon into the ground. "By myself, I am equivalent to twenty!"

    Hum¡ª

    A gold radiance bloomed. Tianyu Liming had entered her topbat form. Everyone¡¯s mind jolted.

    The president looked at her, and realization dawned upon him. "Let me join in." True, he had been concentrating on cultivation for so long that he had be so rotten now. Once upon of time, he had also been a hot-blooded warrior!

    Bang!

    Energy bloomed all around the president¡¯s body as he stood beside Tianyu Liming.

    "I... am equivalent to ten!"

    Tianyu Liming exchanged a nce with him. The twoughed heartily. Since it hade to this, their only option was to fight it out!

    They pointed at the old devil. "Come!"

    The old devilughed sinisterly. "Hehehe... A little couple, huh? I shall fulfill your wish and allow the both of you to perish together, hehehehe..."

    Bang!

    The dreadful devilish wind swept forth. Everyone braced themselves for the battle, their gazes firm. This time, they were all prepared to die. Twenty peak beyond A sses were required to deal with this? Well then, they would put their lives on the line to fight it out! With their strength, if they tried their best, they might be able to kill this fellow for real. That alone would be sufficient. Let their lives be the price to pay for peace.

    Bang!

    The golden radiance ignited. Amid the darkness, the golden radiance intensified. An iparably huge battle was about to break out. Right at this instant... Chen Feng dragged Ba Gu away silently.

    Ba Gu was somewhat stupefied. "What are you doing?"

    "Do this..." Chen Feng whispered something to Ba Gu.

    Ba Gu looked at Chen Feng with a gaze like he was looking at a retard. "Are you sure?"

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. "What a stupid question. Do it quick. Moreover, they are all elites at peak beyond A ss. What is a beyond A8 like you even going to do there?"

    Ba Gu: "..."

    To actually look down on an A8...

    "Go, fast." Chen Feng pushed him, "Victory or defeat will depend on this."

    Ba Gu was still filled with doubt. "Are you sure?"

    "Yes." Chen Feng was filled with confidence. "When have I ever lied to you all?"

    "Fine."

    Ba Gu nced at the bitter battle that was about to start. Ultimately, they had low odds of sess when facing this S ss and could only put their lives on the line in this fight. If so, they were better off...

    Ba Gu clenched his teeth. "Let¡¯s do it!" He grabbed the gene reagent and charged toward a nearby stele.

    Mhm?

    Immediately, the old devil noticed him. This fellow...

    Bang!

    Ba Gu crushed the gene reagent produced by the prince¡¯s urine and tossed it onto the stele. Layers of light-blue light appeared and swirled around the stele as the gene reagent started working to corrode them. s, the blue radiance merely flickered before they continued swirling past.

    "Ridiculous," the old devil said with a malevolent expression. "You think this is some iplete S-ss power? No, this is something formed with S-ss power I personally improved. Your sealing reagent is useless."

    The president frowned. "Ba Gu, get back." He had no idea what this Ba Gu was doing over there. At a time like this, onlybining all their power together to fight it out with the old devil would work. Trying something that would obviously not work like this was a waste of time.

    Ba Gu took a deep breath. "Got it." This gene reagent had merely been hisst attempt. The actual method Chen Feng had taught him was in fact...

    "Hu¡ª"

    He took another deep breath. He recalled what Chen Feng had said, clenched his teeth, and faced the stele. Next, in a practiced manner, he untied his waistband.

    The president: "???"

    The members of the ancient race: "???"

    The old devil: "???"

    With stupefaction, everyone stared at Ba Gu. Holy shit, what¡¯s this guy doing?

    Ba Gu firmed his heart. I shall go all out this time!

    Swoosh!

    A sturdy liquid sprayed out and wasunched upon the stele.

    Chi¡ª

    Chi¡ª

    Clumps of white smoke started rising from the stele. The old devil watched on with an ashenplexion and remained in a long daze. The entire world seemed to havepsed into silence at this moment. Everyone watched on silently as Ba Gu finished peeing before pulling his waistband up without saying anything. Next, they dazedly looked at the stele that had been peed. Even the old devil did not try to stop Ba Gu.

    Previously, there had been aplete devil seal imprinted on the stele, but right now, after Ba Gu had peed on it, there was a big patch in the shape of an X. And next... nothing happened. The devilish aura still pervaded the air, the S-ss power as dreadful as ever.

    "???"

    Ba Gu was somewhat dumbstruck.

    The plotline seemed to be going in the wrong direction. Based on what Chen Feng had said, after peeing on it, this stele was supposed to copse. At this moment, he had a vague feeling that he had been tricked by Chen Feng!

    "What are you doing?" the president asked with an ashenplexion.

    Ba Gu: "..."

    "Someone actually thought of something like this." Opposite them, the old devil gave him a deep gaze. He had never expected that among the humans, there would also be such people who upon failing to defeat the enemy would vow to disgust the enemy instead. s, this was ineffective against him. Way earlier, when he had first started controlling the S-ss devil, the entirety of the S-ss devil had reeked of urine. He had long grown used to this smell. A smell at the level of Ba Gu¡¯s urine would not affect him at all.

    The old devil sneered. "How funny."

    Bang!

    The devilish wind swept forth again. Once again, all the steles started to shine. The "liquid" left behind by Ba Gu evaporated instantly.

    Ba Gu despaired. Indeed... it¡¯s ineffective? What had been the point of tricking him at a time like this?

    "Die."

    The dreadful power of the old devil descended. Right at this moment, his release seemed to be cut short. In an unfathomable manner, the old devil felt like his entire body had been hollowed out.

    "???"

    His body froze.

    Swoosh!

    Instantly, the shining steles dimmed.

    What was going on? Could it be...

    His first reaction was to look at where Ba Gu stood, but there, Ba Gu was also watching on with a dumbstruck expression. Had his "attack" earlier worked? This was what everyone thought, and this thought persisted until they saw, in the distance, at the furthest stele, a vague figure appear, lift the stele, and start running. That familiar figure... looked like... Chen Feng?

    ng! ng!

    Chen Feng tossed the stele far away before returning at top speed. Lifting another stele, he ran away again and repeated the same process. The old devil had only noticed him when he was lifting the third stele.

    The old devil¡¯s eyes widened. "How is that possible?" He watched on with an expression of disbelief.

    The super-formidable power that he had improved, the steles produced by a top-notch S-ss power, were being removed by someone just like that? How was that possible? One ought to know that without the power of an S ss, nobody could even hope to touch the steles.

    The old devil was furious. "Damn it!" He had no idea what trick the humans were using; however, he had to stop what Chen Feng was doing. s, right as he was about to move, the president and the ancients moved as well.

    Bang!

    Terrifying attacks halted the advance of the old devil.

    The president sensed the present strength of the old devil and sneered. "Your strength... does not seem that strong?"

    "Damn it!" The old devil was furious. As Chen Feng had lifted three of the steles, the old devil¡¯s strength had reduced dramatically. He wanted to recover the stolen steles but was stopped by the president. He could only watch on with eyes wide as Chen Feng removed one stele after another...until all the steles were gone.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance shed past. The power he had fused with vanished, and his connection with the S-ss power waspletely severed.

    "No!" The old devil was rmed. Without the S-ss power, he was nothing. He ordered the S-ss devil, "Damn it, why are you still not saving me?"

    The S-ss devil moved rapidly, but surprisingly, at this instant, his eyes shed with gold. His moving body stopped for around half a second before resuming moving. s, due to this half-second pause, he was toote to rescue the old devil. This half-second pause was sufficient for that old devil to lose his life.

    Chapter 606: Seal

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang!

    The president¡¯s powerful attack erupted, ripping the old devil apart.

    The old devil watched on with an unbelieving expression. "You people..." The previous instant, he had still been dreaming the dream of conquering the entire world. The next instant, he had been instantly killed. His dream had been crushed so quickly he hadn¡¯t even been able to react to it before dying.

    Chen Feng...

    His gazended on Chen Feng. It was this guy who had used some unknown method to take away his steles. Hateful! There was also that bastard called Ba Gu... If it wasn¡¯t because of his insulting actions earlier, the old devil would not have shifted his attention and that Chen Feng would not have had any chance to do what he had. The humans were actually so treacherous!

    Plop.

    The old devil copsed onto the ground weakly. Dead.

    His final gazended on that S-ss devil. He could not understand why this devil, which he had always been able to summon as he wished, had been dyed when summoned earlier. He felt like this death of his was too great of an injustice!

    Shua!

    The entire worldpsed into silence. The old devil was dead, killed so very quickly. The president gazed at his own hands. He had not dared to believe that he would be able to easily kill such a powerful devil with a random attack, yet this was what had happened.

    The president gained understanding. "He¡¯s actually so weak without the fused power." So it turned out that, originally, this old devil had merely been as strong as a regr A ss.

    "It¡¯s that child."

    Everyone looked at Chen Feng. They all knew that during the crucial moment earlier, it had been Chen Feng who had used some unknown method to move the steles, giving them the upper hand. This time, Chen Feng had once again made a huge contribution.

    The president was very satisfied. "Not bad." Only Ba Gu had an expression of mncholy on his face. He had finally realized that Chen Feng had merely used him as bait to attract the attention of that old devil. This was too excessive!

    "How did you move the steles?" Li Lei asked the returning Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng gave a rough exnation. "Although the steles were formed by S-ss power, the old devil was, after all, still a beyond A ss. Since the steles were created by a beyond A ss, a beyond A ss could certainly break them."

    Everyone sank into contemtion.

    Chen Feng had not said much. After all, he couldn¡¯t possibly tell them that the only reason he had been able to move those steles was because he was an S ss, that the steles had no defenses against S sses. Wouldn¡¯t it be embarrassing if he couldn¡¯t unleash S-ss power after telling them that? As an iplete S ss, Chen Feng still saw himself as being "between beyond A ss and S ss." That was all.

    Suddenly, Tianyu Liming said, "Look there."

    Everyone followed her line of sight. Distantly, as the old devil died, the devilish aura around them vanished. Only an S-ss devil was left behind. This S-ss devil seemed to have sunk into sleep.

    "Is he sleeping because he¡¯s sealed?" Li Lei asked after some thought.

    "Nope. However, the devil controlling him is already dead. At present, he is in an unmanned state, as his consciousness is temporarily iplete. Moreover, even after waking up, he will still only move ording to his instincts. If we take this chance to kill him..." the president said unhurriedly.

    Everyone exchanged gazes. This was indeed a chance for them.

    "Ba Gu, the gene reagent," the president stated.

    "All right." Ba Gu became agitated. The old devil was dead, and the S-ss devil was in a temporarya. They could make use of this opportunity to seal this devil. This was the best opportunity for the humans. Earlier, only a single gene reagent had been used. To face this S-ss devil, they had prepared a huge amount of S-ss sealing reagents! Naturally, this was also the fruit of that young prince continuously peeing for one entire week.

    Shua! Shua!

    Ba Gu poured the numerous gene reagents onto the S-ss devil¡¯s body. The faint powder shrouded the entirety of the S-ss devil¡¯s huge body, glimmering with a bright radiance.

    "It¡¯s working."

    All their eyes shone. They watched on as the radiance entered the body of that devil and the power of that devil slowly declined. From an intense devilish aura, it was reduced to the point where one couldn¡¯t even sense the aura. A huge part of his strength had been sealed. Everything was progressing smoothly.

    "Excellent." The president¡¯s eyes shone. "Next, kill him!"

    After saying that, the president made his move.

    Bang!

    s, just as his attacknded on that devil¡¯s body, those tightly shut eyes suddenly opened. The devil that had been nearly fully sealed had awakened.

    Bang!

    A bright radiance erupted. The devil¡¯s body shone brightly and blocked the president¡¯s attack.

    "Awake?" The president wasn¡¯t surprised. "Ny percent of his strength has been sealed. Even if he is still an S ss, he can¡¯t disy the power of an S ss. At present, he is merely equivalent to two peak beyond A sses."

    Everyone pondered. So that was the case. If it was only the strength of two peak beyond A sses...

    Tianyu Liming stood beside the president. "Let me go with you."

    The president nodded. "All right." Against this devil, the two of them would be sufficient.

    "Come!"

    The president charged at the devil, erupting with his formidable power. However, right at this instant, the expression of Tianyu Liming, who was beside him, changed greatly.

    "Careful." After crying out, she pushed the president out of the way.

    Pu!

    A sh of red.

    The president turned around hastily, and instantly, his entire body chilled. Where he had stood previously, an entire section of space had vanished. As for Tianyu Liming, one of her arms was missing¡ªthe arm she had used to push the president away earlier. The arm had vanished together with the space it had resided in.

    The president shed and instantly appeared beside her. "Lady Liming."

    Hum¡ª

    A warm radiance shed in his hand as he tried healing her. s, it was ineffective. The missing arm seemed to not exist and was thus incapable of restoration. The president was shocked. How was this possible...

    Tianyu Liming did not seem to care. "I¡¯m fine." From the moment she had be a general of the ancients, she had been prepared to sacrifice herself. Their race was numb toward the prospect of death. Rather, the president¡¯s concern was what caused her heart to feel warm. Everyone saw what had happened, and their hearts chilled.

    Damn it. What damnable power was that?

    Tianyu Liming looked at that devil. "The power of that fellow..."

    Hu¡ª

    Hu¡ª

    Slowly, and clumsily, the devil flew up to the sky. He seemed rather weak, yet the power he had unleashed earlier had been truly rming, exceeding all their understanding. A power at this level...Yet this devil had obviously been sealed...

    They couldn¡¯t understand this. Chen Feng was the only one who had fixed his gaze on that devil. Earlier, he had been the only one who sensed that the power unleashed by that devil wasn¡¯t ordinary S-ss power. It was the legendary power of the awakened!

    At the Gic Union.

    The young devil prince was smiling happily as he watched the humans before him. After a period of time here, he had already grown used to this life. Even though he would be suspended there frequently and his "liquid" would be extracted...

    The young prince waved his hand. "Hey, Li Shang."

    The face of the researcher in front darkened. The vitality of the devil race was indeed so tenacious that it was unimaginable. The researcher in front remembered that on the first day, the young prince had appeared very weak after the experiment, like someone hollowed out. As time had passed, his condition had improved day by day, and now... mhm. The prince could urinate while chatting casually with everyone.

    "You sure are generous," Li Shang praised.

    The young prince curled his lip. "This is optimistic, not generous. By the way, where¡¯s the youngdy in your research team?"

    Shua!

    Li Shang¡¯s expression changed. The moment they touched this topic, he became furious. As this prince was being fed water at all times, he could urinate as wished. However, the moment a female researcher was the one in charge, this prince would spray something else.

    As he thought of this, he frowned. Wiping his face, he could smell the same foul odor.

    The young prince smiled awkwardly. "That was an ident. It¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t seen any females for a very long time. With the youngdy personally helping me with the ¡¯experiment¡¯ that time, that¡¯s why... Mhm, you know what I mean," said the young prince in a subdued voice.

    Li Shang merely gave him a cold nce without replying.

    "Hey, so is she here or not?" the prince asked.

    "She¡¯s an intern. On her first day, you scared her away. What do you think?" grumbled Li Shang.

    The young prince became dispirited. "Fine." The asional appearance of female researchers was his only motivation.

    "..." Li Shang looked at the dispirited expression of the prince and paused before saying, "If you can control yourself, I can get some researchers from over there toe here to watch and learn."

    "Is that for real?" The young prince was overjoyed. "Haha, I knew you were kind to me."

    Li Shang: "..." One would have some feelings after keeping a rat for half a year, let alone this young prince who was also a chatterer. Li Shang frowned. "Settle yourself first, I¡¯m extracting the liquid now."

    "All right." The young prince was happy. As he thought of how he would be able to see the females soon, he became somewhat excited. And thus, Li Shang¡¯s expression darkened as he gazed furiously at the "hose" he was holding in his hand.

    "If you continue losing control, I will castrate you and use a syringe to extract your liquid instead," Li Shang said.

    Shua!

    Instantly, the young prince calmed down.

    Li Shang snorted coldly. "Hmph." After extracting the sample smoothly, he prepared to leave. Suddenly, a bizarre radiance flickered, and on the young prince¡¯s body, a radiance shed.

    Bang! Bang!

    A terrifying light wave bubbled out. Instantly, the numerous panes of high-durability ss shattered. These panes of ss were things even a beyond A ss wouldn¡¯t be able to break, yet all of them had shattered at this instant, turning into countless fragments. As for the young prince, his body started hovering in midair.

    Everyone was shocked. "What¡¯s going on?"

    Li Shang¡¯s expression darkened. "You dare mess around?"

    "This has nothing to do with me." The young prince was dumbstruck as well. He felt like his body was currently out of his control and was under the control of some power. It was hovering without his control. "Holy shit, Old Li, save me."

    "Help." Li Shang got everyone to help get the young prince down. s, right at this instant...

    Hum¡ª

    A ripple shed past. Instantly, the prince¡¯s body vanished, resulting in Li Shang and the rest grabbing empty air. Next, the radiance faded, and theboratory returned to its previous calm. The prince had disappeared.

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    Everyone was shocked. The security team had already rushed over immediately, but they were unable to locate any foreign enemies. No enemies could be found! Their defensive system at the outeryer had not been triggered either.

    "It¡¯s not your fault." Li Shang shook his head. "The power originated from within the body of the young prince. Perhaps someone brought him away by force. Report this to the Gic Union immediately."

    "All right."

    Everyone did as they had been told.

    "That person..." Li Shang recalled the prince¡¯s cry for help prior to his disappearance. Wasn¡¯t it a good thing for the prince to gain freedom in such a manner? "Hopefully you are fine," Li Shang muttered.

    ...

    At this time, in the distant unknown region, Chen Feng and the rest were staring cautiously at the newly awakened devil expert. A faint power was being emitted without stop, a power so terrifying it caused one to feel petrified. This devil was very weak. It was obvious that the gene reagent produced with the young prince¡¯s urine was working, as everyone could feel that the strength of this devil had been weakened by 90%.

    But even with that, he was still so powerful, so powerful that their hair stood on end. This waspletely different than the previous devil that had been under the control of the old devil. Moreover, this half-sealed S-ss devil was even stronger than the whole old devil.

    "How is that possible?"

    Everyone was horrified. They could notprehend this. The old devil had clearly died. A huge portion of this devil¡¯s power had obviously been sealed. Why was this devil still so terrifying?

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was sharp. "Is this the power of an awakened one?"

    Shua!

    Light swirled. He focused his gaze on every single one of this devil¡¯s actions. At the instant the devil moved, an irregr power had obviously been sensed, the unique power of an S ss that was truly formidable.

    "Spirit, analyze it for me," Chen Feng urged inwardly.

    "Understood."

    Spirit cast all her senses toward the devil. Borrowing her senses, Chen Feng started studying every single one of this devil¡¯s actions whenever he unleashed his power. Every second, every undtion¡ªeven without luck value, Chen Feng had to obtain a result.

    "Let me take a look... at what, exactly, is the power of an awakened one..." Chen Feng muttered inwardly. He knew that this was the only chance he had toprehend the power of S ss.

    Their expressions changed greatly. "This is..."

    "Ancestor?" The young prince was overjoyed. He turned around abruptly and looked at the hovering devil. He had never expected that this ancestor that had fallen under the control of that treacherous old devil would return.

    "Fast, kill him!" the president said.

    The killing intent of Tianyu Liming surged. "Understood."

    Bang!

    Nearly all of them moved instantly. The consciousness of this fellow had returned. This was the most dreadful thing. If they allowed him to returnpletely and recover his strength, nobody would be his match. Thus, the humans had to kill him now. However, when the unparalleled attack of all nine of them reached the S-ss devil, all the attacks vanished as they were all destroyed in midair.

    Their expressions changed. "How is that possible?" This strength... How was he so powerful?

    Bang! Bang!

    Numerous waves of attacks erupted, but the devil merely waved his hand casually and all the attacks were destroyed. Regardless of how powerful the attacks were, they all vanished before the devil. Vanished, vanished, and vanished!

    With a casual wave, all the attacks would vanish without a trace. How was this possible? They all despaired. They were not even in the same league as this opponent. Even when encountering the old devil that had obtained S-ss power earlier, they had still been able to put up some sort of fight, but now, against this S-ss devil with 90% of his power sealed, they werepletely helpless.

    They could not understand this. Was this due to the return of his consciousness? Or perhaps...

    "Come back." The devil stretched his hand out. The young prince¡¯s figure floated over.

    "Stop him!" the president shouted.

    They couldn¡¯t even defeat this devil when 90% of his power was sealed. If this fellow was able to use the young prince to unseal himself, they would be in grave danger.

    Bang! Bang!

    The president and the rest moved. s, they couldn¡¯t stop him. All of their attacks transformed into nothingness the moment they neared the young prince. They had no way of harming him.

    "Wow."

    The prince watched on as his surroundings easily devoured every attack without any sort of pressure, akin to a ck hole

    He knelt before the devil expert in happiness. "Ancestor."

    "Mhm." The devil expert merely nodded slightly before, ultimately, his gazended on the president.

    "You all... deserve death," the S-ss devil stated with a cold gaze. "However, seeing how he is fine, I shall let you guys live. Scram!"

    The cold aura of the devil shook, chilling all of them.

    "Hehe." The president merely sneered before looking at Tianyu Liming beside him and asked gently, "Can you still hold on?"

    Tianyu Liming lifted her weapon with one arm. "Yes."

    "Very good." The president smiled cruelly. "Let¡¯s continue fighting, then!"

    Bang!

    A bright radiance erupted. All of them aimed at the S-ss devil. The moment he said that he was letting them live, they had understood. This fellow probably didn¡¯t have much strength left. Otherwise, there was no way he would let them off. Letting them off for the sake of the young prince? Hehe. What a joke. How would a fellow who would pee all the time, whose pee would even fork, be so important? The only exnation for this choice of the devil expert¡¯s was that the devil expert himself wanted to leave to recover as quickly as possible.

    At that time, the humans would truly be in danger. Therefore, they had to get rid of him now.

    Bang!

    A bright radiance erupted. They attacked with all their power.

    The S-ss devil was furious. "You are all... courting death."

    He had never expected that these humans and ancients would not know what was good for them like this, and he had also never expected that from a single word of his, they would be able to see through his actual state. That¡¯s right he truly did not have much power remaining.

    Previously, he had been restored using the young prince, and he had subsequently been sealed using the young prince as well. At present, he didn¡¯t have much strength left. As such, the proper choice for him was to leave as soon as possible to remove his seal and recover his strength. s...

    Bang!

    A clump of light exploded near him. The president soared and intercepted his escape route with force.

    "Thinking of leaving? Have you asked for my permission?" the president said with a cold expression.

    The devil expert stared at him gloomily. "You have no idea what it is you are doing here..." The eyes that had always been lifeless in the past were now filled with killing intent and the rage of being provoked.

    "I know," the president replied with a calm expression. "I am killing you to get rid of future troubles."

    "..." The devil expert¡¯s gloomy gaze swept past the president beforending on Tianyu Liming. A trace of doubt shed in his eyes. He knew a lot of the ancient experts, yet this person here... Back then, he had once met an ancient general. That general had been rather simr to thisdy here. Was this the daughter of that general? What a coincidence.

    "It doesn¡¯t matter anymore." He sighed. "You guys have indeed guessed correctly. I am indeed trying to leave and recover my power. At present, every ounce power I use will be gone eternally and will never be recovered. The seal is much terrifying than I imagined. As such, I do not intend to exhaust myself here with you guys. However... since you guys are thinking of keeping me here..." He inhaled deeply. Next, intense killing intent surged. "I shall do battle with you all! Even at the cost of my strength, I will kill all of you here!"

    Bang!

    A devilish aura swept out and pervaded everything. This strongest S ss in history was finally making a move with all his power. The air trembled. That terrifying aura caused all their hearts to be petrified.

    "Haha,e!" the president shouted. Rather than feeling fear, heughed. This devil would lose power eternally? This was precisely what the president wanted!

    In short, whatever exhaustion they cause him, he would not be able to recover in the future? If they could do their best and cause this guy to exhaust so much strength that he dropped from S ss... He nced at Tianyu Liming and smiled at what he saw. "It seems like we have thought of the same thing."

    Tianyu Liming sighed with mncholy. "Yeah." How long has it been since Ist battled side by side with someone sopatible with me? Devil? S ss?

    "Come!"

    The two erupted with their strongest attacks.

    Bang!

    The devil expert snorted coldly. "Hmph!" Both his wings pped. The mysterious and bizarre power surged once again, appearing and disappearing constantly from space. This was the power of one who had awakened!

    "Space?" Li Lei said with a solemn expression.

    "No, I tried locking the space down, but it doesn¡¯t seem to be effective," one ancient said.

    Spatial power was one of the more powerful traditional powers, yet its w was rather obvious as well. Any spatial undtions and spatial currents would be able to affect the usage of this power. On top of that, there also existed countless barriers capable of countering spatial abilities.

    This w was even more pronounced among top experts, who could rip space apart, causing it to copse. Users of spatial power would be subjected to a rather huge limitation and would not be able to disy their full potential. Moreover, the undtions caused by spatial power were too obvious and were simply incapable of hiding from anyone with powerful senses.

    As such, for top experts, almost all users of spatial power specialized in teleportation or the like. Yet now...

    Shua! Shua!

    The devil expert appeared and vanished in midair without stop. Every time he vanished, he reappeared behind one of his opponents in an odd manner and released a powerful attack. After several repetitions, all of them had already suffered heavy injuries. This was simply the sh of powers in entirely different leagues. How were they supposed to battle such strength?

 Chapter 609: Kill Him!

    Chapter 609: Kill Him!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang!

    A bright radiance erupted, and next, blood spurted out of an ancient¡¯s body. A heavy injury! As everyone saw this, their expressions became unsightly. The enemy was able to do this even with 90% of his strength sealed. If his strength were not sealed, a single sh would be sufficient to insta-kill one of them. What kind of power was this? None of them knew the answer to that.

    They all clenched their teeth and continued fighting on. They were clear that with every attack they survived, this fellow would forever lose the power used. For the humans and ancients, this was beneficial.

    They all clenched their teeth tightly. "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

    Pu! Pu!

    Blood sttered everywhere. They were already drenched with blood. S ss was still S ss, after all¡ªhe was so powerful even after a huge portion of his strength had been sealed.

    Li Lei smiled bitterly. "Is this the power of an S ss?" He could feel the power within him dropping. It wouldn¡¯t be long before he could no longer hang on.

    Bang! Bang!

    After every collision, he could feel his power dropping. His willpower blurred, yet he persevered just so they could exhaust enough of this fellow¡¯s power that he downgraded from S ss.

    Kill! Kill! Kill!

    Everyone was doing their utmost. The eyes of the president and Tianyu Liming were bloodshot as they red attentively at that shadow that was shing about without stop. As for the devil expert, his eyes were bloodshot as well. He truly wanted to see how much longer these damnable humans and ancients couldst.

    At this moment, the only ones who had yet to do anything here were Chen Feng and the young prince. Chen Feng¡¯s gaze had been focused on the battle. Currently, he was focusing on Tianyu Liming. He observed every single action and energy undtion of hers, taking in everything clearly. He was analyzing the power of an awakened. He was studying the power of an S ss.

    Faster! Faster! Faster! Chen Feng roared inwardly. He knew how serious the battle was. Every second he wasted, one person would be dealt a serious injury that might even lead to death. As such, he had to observe clearly! He had to attainprehension as quickly as possible! Awakened! Awakened...Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was fixed unwaveringly on the battle.

    At this time, the young prince to the side nced first at the distant battle and then at Chen Feng, who was beside him. The young prince felt like the chance for his revenge had arrived. Back then, it had been this Chen Feng fellow who had caused him to suffer such a fate. No, hold on, it seemed like this Chen Feng was the one who had rescued him instead?

    The hell, in any case, is there a difference in which side it was that held me as a prisoner? the young prince thought inwardly. Of course, he knew that this wasn¡¯t the main reason he was thinking of making a move. The reason he was even thinking of acting was because the aura Chen Feng exuded presently gave him a feeling of utmost danger.

    This guy...

    On Chen Feng¡¯s body, he sensed a different power, a power that was iparably simr to his ancestor! He had to stop this guy! This was the only thought in the young prince¡¯s head.

    "Kill him!" ordered the distant devil expert without hesitation. In fact, he could go kill Chen Feng as well. However, he was rather far away from Chen Feng. If he went over forcefully, the president would aim for the young prince, as evidenced by the president eyeing the young prince earlier when the devil expert had been about to head over to Chen Feng.

    The devil expert snorted. "Hmph!" Was this a warning? If he killed Chen Feng, they would kill the young prince? For people at their level, killing someone would require only an instant. Indeed, with his present strength, he couldn¡¯t both kill Chen Feng and protect the young prince at the same time. Even so, would everything be fine just because of this?

    "Kill him!" the devil expert ordered with a cold gaze. He couldn¡¯t go kill Chen Feng personally, but the young prince could. Like the young prince, he had an intense intuition that this person called Chen Feng had to die! Earlier, wasn¡¯t this Chen Feng the one who caused that treacherous old devil to die?

    Mhm...

    Very good. He did well. However, this also signified that this Chen Feng guy was problematic. The devil expert was unsure of how powerful the formation the old devil had made using his power was. However, this human had been able to easily spoil the formation. Moreover, looking at the present state of this human... He seemed to be preparing for something once again?

    "Understood." The young prince stepped forth. Even if he was an absolute idiot, he still knew that following the ancestor was his best prospect.

    Bang!

    Light swirled around.

    The young prince stepped forth and charged at Chen Feng abruptly. As for Chen Feng, he merely stood there like an idiot and stared at the battlefield with a nk expression, seemingly not noticing what was happening.

    Ba Gu¡¯s expression changed greatly. "Chen Feng!" He wanted to go save Chen Feng, but it was impossible.

    Pu!

    The devil expert¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly, and next, a new wound was left on Ba Gu¡¯s body. Saving Chen Feng before this unfathomable devil expert was simply an impossible feat.

    "Chen Feng, wake up!" Ba Gu howled.

    s, Chen Feng had seemingly gone deaf. At present, the entirety of Chen Feng¡¯s attention was focused on the devil expert. His mind spun rapidly, and in his eyes, numerous deductions and numerals shed past. He was incapable of moving away at all. For the present him, continuing his analysis was of the utmost priority.

    Shua! Shua!

    Countless scenes were simted in his mind. Under Spirit¡¯s assistance, several tens of thousands of simted scenes appeared in his illusory world. If he moved, all these would be gone!

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was sharp. "Appear, fast..." Faster! Faster! Faster! he howled inwardly.

    The devil prince neared him.

    "Xiao Ying!" suddenly, Spirit said.

    Swoosh!

    Xiao Ying, who had been dormant for a long time, appeared suddenly.

    Spirit pointed at the young prince. "Deal with him."

    Swoosh!

    With a sh, Xiao Ying appeared outside. After giving thismand to Xiao Ying, Spirit ignored everything outside and once again focused on helping Chen Feng with his deductions. Young prince? In the end, he was not important. At present, in the real world, the young prince had already covered half the distance to Chen Feng. Even this distance had been done under a state of constant vignce against Chen Feng¡¯s tricks and schemes.

    And yet... nothing seemed to be happening! Chen Feng was focusing all his attention on the battlefield, seemingly in some sort of trance.

    The young prince was overjoyed. "Haha. I shall kill you first, then."

    He tookrge strides forward. Just as he was about to rush over and kill Chen Feng, he saw a sh in front of him, a red sh.

    Mhm...

    The prince increased his vignce. "What¡¯s that?"

    "..."

    Xiao Ying felt mncholic as he looked at the young prince before him. What should he do? Under normal circumstances, he could erupt with full power and this prince would most definitely not be his opponent. But now, Chen Feng had extracted nearly all his power. At present, Xiao Ying had no means of using any spiritual energy at all. The moment he tried extracting spiritual energy with force, Chen Feng¡¯s deductions would be affected.

    The simple-minded Xiao Ying rejected this notion. That won¡¯t do! At present, he could only rely on himself. And thus, his simple brain finally started being used...

    Perhaps...

    Maybe...

    Subconsciously, he started thinking like Chen Feng.

    The young prince saw this tiny snake stopped before him and sneered. "A tiny snake?" He could feel that this tiny snake wasn¡¯t particrly powerful.

    "Hehe."

    The young prince shed forth casually. But right at this instant, the red snake started twisting around randomly. The snake¡¯s body became illusory and faintly discernible, appearing and vanishing.

    Mhm?

    The young prince increased his vignce. Surprisingly, that tiny snake did not attack him. Rather, the snake was twisting and shing around without stop, forming a performance of red light in the air.

    "What is this fellow doing? Forget it, I will ignore him. He is probably trying to drag things out." The young prince took wide steps forward and prepared to kill Chen Feng. Right at this moment, from the performance of light, suddenly, a seemingly real yet illusory scene appeared. It seemed to be a beautiful youngdy wearing a bathrobe that showcased her curvy figure... akin to a fairy.

    Her body swayed along with the flickering light. The bathrobe rose and dropped, showing parts of her body filled with allure. The young prince felt a short burst of joy but then had an ominous feeling.

    Not good!

    Pu!

    His feet weakened, and next, a bunch of liquid flowed out of his lower body. The valve... had opened automatically yet again!

 Chapter 610: Awakening the Storm

    Chapter 610: Awakening the Storm

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Holy shit!" The young prince screamed mournfully and slumped down onto the ground weakly. The others that were paying attention to this ce all had odd expressions on their faces. None of them had expected that the ferocious young prince would fail just like that.

    ...

    Everyone looked at the young prince with sympathy. How pitiful...

    However, when they saw the tiny snake, they were filled with awe. That tiny snake seemed to be Chen Feng¡¯s pet? So nowadays, even a pet could be so scheming?

    "Very good." The devil expert had an ashenplexion. He had never expected that the young prince would fail just like that. He was confident that he could slowly kill off all these humans and ancients, but...

    He gave Chen Feng a look. Despite the fact that this devil had always been looking down on humans, his acute senses told him that this human was doing something unordinary. He took a deep breath. "Seems like I have to end this quickly."

    Hum¡ª

    A powerful devilish aura swept out. With his present sealed strength, it was somewhat difficult for him to use this move. The moment he used this move, the entirety of his S-ss power might very well disappear. His cultivation worth several millennia would be gone just like that. He would return to the state of a fresh S ss. However, at least he would still be an S ss. If these damnable humans and ancients were allowed to continue on and that Chen Feng was allowed toplete whatever he was doing, he might instead downgrade from S ss.

    Therefore, he had decisively selected the most advantageous option. He was the strongest expert of the devils. Only he was qualified to decide how this battle would end. This was the honor of the strong. He would not allow himself to passively wait for the humans to make their move.

    Bang!

    A formidable power swept out. The power belonging to an S ss bloomed. At this instant, all other powers seemed to freeze as a huge figure of light started condensing around them. Storm, descend! Next, everything around was terminated by a storm-like power.

    Their expressions sank. "Not good." Even now, this fellow was still able to unleash such a powerful ability?

    Bang! Bang!

    The storm closed down on them. Along the way, even the ground was blown up by the force.

    Everywhere the storm passed, the power would freeze. Abilities, light, everything would freeze right there, creating a rather astonishing sight. The huge storm enclosed them, trapping them within. The president frowned.

    He tried attacking the storm.

    Bang!

    Shua!

    s, the moment his powerful attack touched the storm, it froze. That¡¯s right, even the powerful attack of the president was instantly frozen by the storm.

    "??!"

    Everyone was rmed. This storm...

    Bang! Bang!

    They all acted at the same time, but the result was the same. The sweeping storm was like a power from a different world, so powerful it was boundless. All their attacks were reduced to nothing but a joke.

    "Looks like none of us are returning from this," Ba Gu muttered.

    Li Lei sighed. "Yeah. It¡¯s really unfortunate that we weren¡¯t even able to drag him down from S ss."

    The presidentughed sinisterly. "That¡¯s not for sure. Is he the only one with trump cards here?"

    Ah.

    He waved both his hands. A faint radiance shed past. Since he was going to die in any case, there was no point in holding back his trump card. It was about time he employed that ability. Even if he had to die, he would drag this fellow down from S ss.

    The president¡¯s gaze became firm. Although this storm was extremely powerful, if they could erupt with an even stronger power, they ought to be able to force that fellow to exhaust more of his strength, right? If he fell from S ss...

    "Indeed." Tianyu Liming stood before the president silently.

    The president looked at her. "???"

    "Sorry." Suddenly, Tianyu Liming turned around and smiled sweetly, "In fact, I quite like you and am not willing to see you die. Therefore, forgive my selfishness. Let me die before you."

    The president sighed. "..." Although he had been focusing on bitter cultivation his entire life and had never been in love before, how could he not sense the feelings of this youngdy?

    He merely had some misgivings due to her identity as a member of the ancient race. However, after giving it some thought, they were already on the verge of death. Why should he still be bothered with her identity? At this thought, the president grabbed Tianyu Liming and gave her a kiss.

    "Let us share life and death, then," the president stated tyrannically.

    "..." Tianyu Liming was so agitated that her face flushed red. She nodded her head resolutely. This time... she would have no regrets even in death. "Come!"

    Bang!

    The storm swept in. The devil¡¯s powerful S-ss attack arrived. All the humans and ancients stood in the middle of the storm, awaiting the arrival of the attack. They knew that this time, their deaths were certain. All of them prepared their trump cards so they could exhaust even more of that devil¡¯s strength. Everyone had a resolute expression on their face.

    Bang! Bang!

    The storm neared them slowly. The devil expert gazed at them coldly. Trump cards? Defenses? Counters? Hehe, how idiotic. These people were probably all unaware of what the true power of an S ss was. All their power was nothing but a joke.

    After all, he was using the power of an awakened one. Back during the ancient era, such power had once been called the power of gods, a power only deities could possess, a power known as divine force.

    A person. A god. From the name alone, one could see the difference.

    He waved his hand lightly. "Let¡¯s end this." That huge storm started closing in. Instantly, that storm that seemed to be everywhere started closing in and concentrated together. This terrifying attackunched using divine force rotated, akin to a dreadful grinder.

    Bang!

    A terrifying power erupted. The earth shook and the mountains rocked.

    All the powers that had been frozen by the storm earlier were destroyed at the same time, transforming into nothingness. This was divine force!

    "This..." The young prince watched on, horrified. During this period of time, he had gained some understanding of the different levels of power in this world As such, he was even more rmed at what he was seeing. His ancestor was actually this powerful? Furthermore, this was the strength of his ancestor in a sealed state. If the seal was lifted... his ancestor would probably be undefeated!

    Suddenly, the young prince¡¯s heart started burning. He could see a beautiful future beckoning toward him. Ah, what a beautiful world... Ah, the youngdies of theboratory...

    "Let¡¯s go," the devil expert stated indifferently.

    "Yes, all right." The young prince wiped the "liquid" off of him and scrambled up.

    Just as the devil expert was about to leave with the prince, amid the dust kicked off by the destruction of the storm, a familiar voice resounded. "Leaving just like that?"

    The devil expert turned around abruptly. Instantly, his eyes widened. "Mh?" There, right in the middle of the storm, that spot where everything should have been destroyed, amid the endless dust, a frail figure appeared. His hand rose slightly, blocking the entirety of the attack for everyone there.

    That familiar figure...

    Chen Feng! That damnable human!

 Chapter 611: Weakening the Seal

    Chapter 611: Weakening the Seal

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang!

    The storm swept in. The president stepped forth, his hand holding Tianyu Liming¡¯s only remaining hand. Since things hade to this point, everyone was already prepared to die. Faint energy condensed around their bodies. This time, they would put their lives on the line and fight it out! Whether they could pull this devil from S ss or not would depend on this final struggle.

    Bang!

    Radiance condensed around them. Everyone had a resolute expression. The storm closed in, and just as they were about to charge forth toward the storm, a familiar voice resounded: "Let me deal with the rest."

    A casual yet satisfied voice.

    Who?

    Before they could even react to it, a figure appeared before all of them. It was Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng?

    They were all somewhat dumbstruck. Before them, Chen Feng lifted his hand lightly and tapped on the storm. Instantly, a terrifying power started to circte.

    Bang! Bang!

    Instantly, the power of the storm erupted. rming everyone there, that power capable of freezing everything, that power capable of destroying everything, was seemingly nothing before Chen Feng.

    Hum¡ª

    The storm roared. It had seemingly sensed Chen Feng¡¯s power. A faint radiance swirled around as the storm tried to freeze Chen Feng¡¯s power. That hand of Chen Feng¡¯s that was touching the storm started to freeze... And then... his hand recovered in a split second.

    Chen Feng contemted. "Is this your power? In that case..."

    Suddenly, the storm pulled back.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng mmed his hand down onto the ground.

    Shua!

    With Chen Feng as the center, a faint radiance formed a circle. Just like that, at its peak power, that storm was blocked by radiance emitted by Chen Feng.

    Bang! Bang!

    The ground shook, yet none of them suffered any damage. In the middle of the storm, amid all the dust, everyone was safe and sound.

    "This..."

    The president was rmed. The ancients were rmed.

    All of them were stunned. None of them had expected that with a single hand, Chen Feng could so easily block this seemingly unequaled storm. This fellow...

    They were all shocked. Right at this instant, Chen Feng opened his mouth.

    Chen Feng smiled toyingly. "Leaving just like this?"

    Shua!

    The dust settled. Not far away, the devil expert, who had been about to leave, stopped.

    "You are actually able to stop my power?" The devil expert could not believe this. Even during the Primordial Era long gone, very few had been able to block this attack of his, yet now... This was not supposed to be possible. Apart from that fellow of the ancient race, nobody should be able to block this attack even though, presently, 90% of his power was sealed. This was unrted to whether he was sealed or not. Rather, this was a power in an entirely different realm, a power that could not possibly be blocked by the power of a beyond A ss. This person called Chen Feng... The devil expert narrowed his eyes.

    Chen Feng smiled. "Is it not simple?"

    Shua!

    He waved his hand. A familiar power surged out of his hand. He wasn¡¯t too skilled at using this power, yet clearly, this was the power of an awakened one. A true S-ss power! The president and the rest were shocked. They exchanged nces, finally realizing the source of Chen Feng¡¯s confidence.

    So it turned out...

    As they thought of this, everyone moved away silently, giving Chen Feng sufficient space. At a time like this, they had no intention of dragging Chen Feng down.

    Chen Feng had a faint smile as he said, "The power of an awakened? You are not the only one with it."

    "Hehe." The devil expert did not seem bothered. "It is impossible for you to be an awakened. If you were truly an awakened, this battle would have ended long ago and would not have required so much effort from your side. From how you ruined the formation of that treacherous devil and your earlier state, I can guess that you are probably borrowing a certain power... You must have obtained some inherited items, right?" The devil expert sneered. "Hehe. Unfortunately, the power of an awakened is not something a person like you can control."

    Some remnants of the Primordial Era had survived. Those fortunate enough to obtain these items would be able to obtain some special power from these items, such as the power of the awakened. This was not a power that the user would truly possess. Rather, the user would be temporarily borrowing the power. As such, the users were normally incapable of controlling such power and could only use it in a crude manner.

    It was akin to a three-year-old holding an immense hatchet: childish and ridiculous. The present Chen Feng resembled such a person. Although the power of an awakened flowed about his body, his method of control and the wasting of power... Wasn¡¯t itparable to a child holding an immense hatchet?

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "Is that so? Why not give it a try?"

    Bang!

    A torrent of formidable power surged out of his hand. This was the power of an awakened! After observing this devil expert for a long time, afterprehending this power for a long time, with Spirit¡¯s assistance, he had finally gained true understanding of the true power of S ss.

    He did not know the function of this power of his. He did not even know the difference between his power and the devil¡¯s. He did not know of any abilities exclusive to himself. But he could feel clearly the might of this power. This alone was sufficient.

    Bang!

    A simple punch. Instantly, the power of an awakened erupted from it.

    Hum¡ª

    The devil expert waved his hand, sending out a sh. Their powers shed, creating a huge shockwave. They were actually evenly matched.

    Chen Feng smiled faintly. "You still refuse to believe it?" He did not mind wasting his power together with this devil expert. If his guess was correct, it was precisely as the president had said. Any power this devil exhaust now would be forever lost. He had been sealed. At present, he had no way of unleashing his true power. Therefore, dragging this out and wasting their power together was the best option. Besides, fighting this devil was also the best chance for Chen Feng to gain further understanding of the power of an awakened. Chen Feng became excited. "Come!"

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Numerous punches were hurled out, each of them possessing astonishing might.

    Chen Feng¡¯s grasp on the power of an awakened was rather weak. He couldn¡¯t even use it effectively. However, it was sufficient to face this devil expert who had 90% of his power sealed.

    Bang! Bang!

    Numerous punches were sent out, creating numerous shockwaves. Slowly, the devil expert started frowning. He had initially believed that this awakened power Chen Feng had obtained would be fully exhausted in a short period of time.

    He was astonished. "It can actuallyst this long?" Even if the opponent was unaware of the proper methods for using this power and was thus unleashing a pitifully weak might from it, if this continued, he might truly be exhausted to death. This wouldn¡¯t do! He sighed.

    Ka!

    Suddenly, he pulled out one of his own arms.

    Bang!

    The arm ignited.

    A huge amount of bizarre power transformed into swirling light before surging into his body. His power, which had been near exhaustion, recovered somewhat. His feeble power was now somewhat stronger. The seal had been weakened.

    "???"

    The president was stupefied. This works?

    "He ignited his arm to recover some of his power."

    Everyone was horrified. Igniting his arm...

    This was not as simple as severing his arm. For ordinary people like them, even if they severed their arms, they could still regrow their arms with gene reagents. But his action of sacrificing his arm for power with a body at this level was equivalent to eternally losing this arm. This guy was indeed cruel even to his own self!

 Chapter 612: The Devil Experts Trump Card

    Chapter 612: The Devil Expert¡¯s Trump Card

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The young prince turned pale. "Ancestor." He had suddenly recalled that the key material in the sealing reagent was himself.

    "Don¡¯t worry about it," the devil expert said coldly. Against Chen Feng, who was constantly exhausting his power, if he wanted to avoid dropping down from S ss, he had to use this method. This was the only way to solve his current predicament. The power of the counterseal was something he was clear on. It was a seal within one¡¯s body, and with this method, he would be able to recover his strength and reduce the coverage of the seal.

    "You are all challenging my temper," the devil expert said indifferently. He spoke with a domineering tone, seeming telling those humans they were not the only ones with trump cards. As a top expert, he had even more trump cards, even in his current circumstance. This was a true devil expert,pletely different than he had been when under the control of the old devil earlier.

    He pointed at Chen Feng. "Destroy!" A seal formed in midair before heading toward Chen Feng.

    Shua!

    The terrifying seal immediately rushed at Chen Feng¡¯s body, seemingly unstoppable. This was the true usage of awakened power. It wasn¡¯t something Chen Feng could stop with his brutish handling of awakened power.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng punched forth. That seal formed with the power of the awakened was shattered with a single punch. The devil expert¡¯s lip twitched. This time, he had been able to see clearly. Damn it, this Chen Feng had actually wrapped the unique and unmatched power of awakened around his fist before punching out directly? How could this human possess so much of this awakened power? Was this precious power supposed to be used in such crude manner? The devil expert was somewhat dumbstruck.

    "Has the seal restricted too much of my strength?" the devil expert self-mockingly asked. Even if he had removed the seal on his arm, at most, the seal had only been reduced from 90% to 80%. The seal remained, causing his powerful Letter of Destruction to actually be destroyed by such a brutish method. Still, using awakened power in such a manner, this feeling...

    It was akin to seeing a small-time hoodlum wrap precious magic power around his fist to fight in a melee brawl. This was a fight that could be settled with a single fireball with the precious magic power, yet it was used in such a crude manner...

    The devil expert¡¯s heart ached. If I had that much awakened power in my body... He had only recently been restored and had suffered from being sealed. As such, the amount of power he had was truly pitifully low. Seeing Chen Feng wasting power in such a manner, he couldn¡¯t endure it.

    "Good. Very good." The devil expert took a deep breath. "Let me properly see just how much remains of this power that you obtained through a unique method." He pointed midair. "Condense!"

    Instantly, all the power within his body was concentrated into a single dot of light on his finger. That single dot seemed to contain an entire universe.

    The devil expert pointed at Chen Feng. "Die!"

    Bang!

    Time seemed to stop flowing. The president and the rest were able to feel an intense sense of crisis even so far away, yet in such a situation, they could only wait. This was no longer a battle they could get involved in.

    Xiu!

    The dot of light, like a star in the sky, slowly headed toward Chen Feng. Despite the slow movement, it still appeared before Chen Feng instantly. Even though it appeared feeble, the power contained within it was able to cause space itself to copse around it, as space was incapable of enduring the existence of such might.

    This attack was stillunched using the proper control method for awakened power. The same power could disy astonishing might through different control methods. This was a powerful ability of this superexpert¡¯s.

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression became solemn. "This power..." The awakened power indeed required various control methods. The same awakened power that Chen Feng had, when used by this devil expert, was able to disy a much greater might. But this was also the best opportunity for him to learn.

    "Spirit?" Chen Feng asked inwardly.

    Spirit frowned as she said, "It has been recorded. However, the analysis can¡¯t bepleted in a short period of time."

    "I know." Chen Feng¡¯s gaze became sharp. Spirit could only record and analyze it for him. Now, he could only rely on himself.

    Swoosh!

    He could sense how terrifying that dot of light was.

    The dot of light locked onto Chen Feng, making it impossible for him to escape. However, Chen Feng had no intention of escaping. Rather, he activated all of the power within his body. He had decided to use the simplest method to deal with this: brute force!

    Bang!

    The devil expert shook his head. "How ridiculous. You are dreaming of stopping the attack with your idiotic control method?"

    How ridiculous. If Chen Feng¡¯s control method was akin to a child waving a giant hatchet, the devil expert¡¯s control method was akin to the creation of the universe, soaring high in the sky before shing down with the hatchet! Their levels of control were in entirely different leagues. How could Chen Feng stop his attack?

    Bang!

    The dot of light charged at Chen Feng. The devil expert watched on coldly, awaiting Chen Feng¡¯s death. Next, he saw an extremely petrifying scene. That dot of light he had sent erupted, unleashing boundless power. Chen Feng, in a clumsy manner, blocked the attack with a power tenfold the quantity the devil had used tounch the attack earlier. In this manner, Chen Feng blocked the attack forcefully, exhausting its power. Ultimately, he ended up using a hundred times as much power as the devil had used topletely exhaust all the power making up this dot of light.

    "???" The devil expert was dumbstruck. How had Chen Feng obtained so much awakened power? Even if he had obtained some remnants of the Primordial Era, he should not have this amount of power. Perhaps he had in fact obtained a huge number of primordial items? The devil expert despaired. Was the creation of universe a terrifying feat? Yes, it was. Could a child waving a hatchet around stop it? No.

    s, this opponent had no intention of blocking. Rather, in a simple manner, numerous hatchets were tossed out, allowing him to sh at it as he wished until the moment he exhausted all his power. What the hell?

    The devil expert was rmed. He had been an awakened for so many years, yet he had never seen someone use the awakened power in such a barbarous method. Never had he seen such wastage; never had he seen such a boring method ofbat. s, this was exactly what had stopped his attack.

    The amount of power his opponent had wasted earlier... The devil expert grabbed at his heart as his heart ached at the thought of all that wasted power. If the power had been given to him instead, even if it had only been one-tenth of it that amount, he would have been able to destroy everything here long ago.

    Chen Feng smiled. "Seems rather simple?"

    "..." The devil expert narrowed his eyes. This human...

    The young prince gave his ancestor a hasty exnation of Chen Feng, as he saw that things did not seem good. "Ancestor, this is a bizarre fellow. In the human world, I heard of him. This fellow is good at creating miracles, capable of counterattacking when one least expects it. His luck is astonishingly good."

    "Luck..." The devil expert contemted. Was that how this guy had obtained so many primordial items? If he was lucky enough, he might truly have been able to obtain so many of them, but right now, the devil expert had to think of a way out of this predicament. Only by leaving here could he start removing the seal and recovering his strength.

    "Can¡¯t you remove the seal now?" The prince pulled at his clothes and righteously stated, "I am ready for that."

    Pa!

    The devil expert pped this prince away, seemingly furious at him for being so useless. "Do you think removing the seal is a simple affair? How long the seal removal takes is more than sufficient for me to be killed."

    The prince put on a wronged expression. "Oh."

    The devil expert sighed. "Seems like I can only do that, then." He could not ignite his remaining arm, as he would truly be a cripple if he did that. This time, he decided to ignite a certain part of his body that was quite an imposing sight. In any case, he hadn¡¯t had a chance to use it for several thousand years. Besides, he wasn¡¯t particrly interested in that. He might as well use it now to increase his power.

    And thus, under everyone¡¯s gaze, the devil expert¡¯s crotch ignited and started burning with a raging me.

 Chapter 613: Not All Hammers Are Calledâ€¦

    Chapter 613: Not All Hammers Are Called...

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Holy shit!

    The president was rmed.

    The ancients were rmed.

    Even the prince was so shocked that he peed himself. (Not literally.) [1] 1

    Holy shit, to beat Chen Feng, this ancestor was truly putting it all on the line.

    Bang!

    The me raged, and once again, the devil expert recovered some power.

    Bang!

    A power more formidable than his earlier power returned, shocking everyone present. The devil expert had been able to unseal more of his power, dramatically increasing hisbat power yet again.

    Li Lei was shocked. "How powerful."

    The president was speechless. "This, this, this..."

    This devil¡¯s decision was truly astonishing, especially because the devil had selected that part of his body to ignite.

    Ba Gu gulped. "Holy shit, igniting that part actually returned more power than his arm did earlier?"

    He was truly shocked. It was fine to ignite an arm for power, but now, after igniting that part at his crotch, he had actually gained so much power? This was too excessive! It was evident how a certain bat power" of this devil¡¯s was astonishingly powerful.

    In fact, not only them, even the ancient females were shocked.

    "So strong."

    "How imposing."

    Several ancient females expressed their regret.

    "What a pity."

    "I have heard that the humans have a saying: big tools shall not flourish," Tianyu Limingmented with a solemn expression. "Perhaps this is what that saying refers to? When the tool is too big, it will not flourish..."

    "No, no, no." By the side, the president started sweating as he heard them, and he hastily corrected them, "The saying you are thinking of is ¡¯a vast territory with abundant resources¡¯!"[2] 2

    "Big brother shall not flourish?" Tianyu Liming¡¯s expression was somewhat vacant. Wasn¡¯t this supposed to be a thing, based on what she understood of human culture?

    President: "..."

    At present, he felt like killing someone. If Tianyu Liming epted this as the truth, what woulde of him in the future? If they reached that step in their rtionship in the future, wouldn¡¯t he be feeling inferior if this was the belief she held? This concerned his dignity as a male! At present, he felt like shing at Chen Feng. What in the world had Chen Feng taught these ancients back then?

    Suddenly, Tianyu Liming understood something. "Don¡¯t worry." She seemed to have thought of something as she nced at the president with a blush. Bashfully, she said, "Don¡¯t worry. I will not look down on you. I am aware that someone at the level of this devil expert is in fact an abnormality."

    The president heaved a sigh of relief. That¡¯s good, then.

    And yet, before this thought had even faded, he heard Tianyu Liming gently say, "In any case, even mine wasn¡¯t this big back in the days."

    "???"

    Bang!

    The president was dumbstruck.

    Back in the days?

    Suddenly, he understood. What he feared most had still happened. s, he was already holding her hand and had even kissed her. It seemed like he could no longer crawl out of this pit? Chen Feng, screw you!!!

    ...

    At present, Chen Feng had a solemn expression. He had never expected that this big-shot devil would be even more ruthless than he had imagined. With a single thought, this devil had ignited that part, causing Chen Feng to be at a loss. Worthy of being a devil expert indeed.

    Chen Feng took a deep breath. Such a ruthless attitude was not something an ordinary person couldpare to.

    Bang!

    He sensed the surging awakened power the devil expert was exuding. Chen Feng knew that this time, he had to start being serious. Otherwise, he might truly die here.

    The devil expert started talking. "You are the strongest human I have ever met." A remarkable aura lingered about him, and each word he uttered was filled with majesty and incredibly petrifying. Naturally, this majesty of his was predicated on the viewer ignoring the devil expert¡¯s burning crotch.

    Chen Feng: "..." Bro, this look of yours doesn¡¯t seem too convincing...

    "Hehe." The devil expert noticed Chen Feng¡¯s gaze at his crotch and merely shook his head calmly. "Indeed, you humans are ignorant life-forms... Well, it¡¯s almost time," he muttered to himself. With this ignite, he had obtained a new lease on life and more power, and he had removed yet another 10% of the seal on him.

    Only 70% of the initially 90% seal remained. For this devil expert, this was equivalent to a huge boost in strength.

    Bang!

    A terrifying power converged. Before him, a hammer exuding a terrifying power hovered. This was the first time this devil expert had released a weapon, and this weapon was indeed so powerful as to be petrifying.

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression became solemn. "A weapon..."

    The devil expert caressed his hammer gently and slowly picked it up. "It has been a while, my old friend."

    Hum¡ª

    A petrifying power started spreading as the devil expert held the hammer in his hand.

    "This thing..."

    Chen Feng gave it a nce and shifted his body slightly, not daring to stand directly in front of the devil expert. He feared that this devil would directly start smashing forward the moment he held the hammer. Things would be bad if that happened. Fortunately, the devil expert merely picked the hammer up and waved it around.

    Duang!

    Duang!

    Each wave caused space itself to shake.

    One time...

    Two times...

    Subconsciously, Chen Feng braced himself to defend against theing attack, but he noticed that this time, the devil wasn¡¯t attacking. Rather, he was doing something rather peculiar. What was this devil doing? Chen Feng could not understand.

    Duang!

    Duang!

    Surprisingly, the space that had seemed to be on the verge of copse as he waved the hammer started stabilizing. With each wave, space would be steadier. This did not seem like an attack. Rather, it looked more like repairing? Using the hammer, repairing the piece of space here? Indeed...

    Chen Feng rubbed his head. Not all hammer users would be Reinhardt. He could be Torbj?rn instead.[3] 3 Naturally, what this bro here was repairing wasn¡¯t some fort but, rather, space itself.

    Duang! Duang!

    Space stabilized. Chen Feng concentrated with a solemn expression, trying to see what exactly this person here was trying to do.

    And next, with astonishment, he noticed that as the devil swung his hammer around, the scene around him froze. Froze? Suddenly, Chen Feng noticed something. Freezing! It was actually this! The memory of all the attacks being frozen in the storm was still fresh in his mind. This time, this devil was freezing space.

    Duang! Duang!

    Chen Feng looked behind them. The president and the rest did not appear ufortable, and hadn¡¯t even sensed any danger, yet their bodies were already slightly frozen. This was the most dreadful aspect of this move. Evidently, after being blocked several times by Chen Feng using brutish methods, in his fury, the devil expert had decided to use an ability Chen Feng had no way of blocking. This was an ability that couldn¡¯t be blocked, an ability that ignored everything! Since it could directly freeze space itself, how were they supposed to block it?

    "Hehe. Pitiful child. You have no notion of what awakened power truly is... hehe," muttered the devil expert. He muttered in an overcast tone, seemingly talking to himself, yet his words were apanied by an intense killing intent as well.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. Not good.

    "I shall allow you all to witness true awakened power..."

    Duang!

    The hammer was swung for the final time. At this instant, the entire world seemed to freeze.

 Chapter 614: Impossible World

    Chapter 614: Impossible World

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    This is...

    Fear appeared in all their eyes. Each of them was thinking rapidly, each of them was still conscious, yet they had lost the control over their bodies. To be precise, everything around them¡ªincluding their bodies¡ªhad been frozen. Spatial lock? No, this power had exceeded the power of space itself.

    Bang!

    The power of an awakened erupted out of Chen Feng¡¯s body. Under this formidable space-locking power, he was the only person still capable of moving. Relying on the power of an awakened, he was able to slowly move. s, Chen Feng could clearly sense that his movement was slowing down as well.

    Chen Feng sighed. "I will soon be unable to move?" They were both using awakened power, yet he couldn¡¯t even break free of this.

    The devil expert watched on coldly. "How idiotic."

    Despite this seemingly hopeless situation, Chen Feng did not give up. Despite the slow speed, he moved forward slowly. With great difficulty, he forged forward.

    One step.

    Two steps.

    Chen Feng maintained a resolute expression.

    The devil expert sneered. "Hmph." He lifted his hammer and swung it down once again.

    Duang!

    That terrifying power bubbled up. This section of space became even steadier. Chen Feng¡¯s body, which had still been capable of moving at a crawling speed, stopped instantly as his entire body became stiff. He was nearlypletely frozen.

    Chen Feng!

    Everyone fixed their gaze on Chen Feng. Their bodies were already frozen, and Chen Feng was their only hope. The moment Chen Feng was frozen as well, all hope would be extinguished. And now... they could see Chen Feng¡¯s body bing stiff.

    It¡¯s over.

    Their hearts chilled. So even Chen Feng couldn¡¯t escape the fate of being frozen? What power had this devil expert used? For it to be so powerful?

    The devil expert watched on as Chen Feng¡¯s body stiffened. "It¡¯s over."

    He knew that the moment everyone here waspletely frozen, this incident would reach its end. Within this frozen world of his, the moment everyone was frozen, he would be able to easily destroy them. What he would destroy wasn¡¯t them, exactly. Rather, it was this space, this frozen world, that would be destroyed.

    First, this part of the world would be frozen. Next, the enemies frozen within this part of the world would be a part of this frozen world. Finally, he could destroy this frozen world, destroying all the enemies within as well. Simple and direct.

    Naturally, the premise of all this was to first freeze everyone within this world in order to fuse them all with this chunk.

    He waved his hand coldly. "Erase!" Since everyone was already frozen, it was time to harvest the rewards. And yet, just as he was about tounch his attack, he noted with astonishment that Chen Feng was still moving.

    No, Chen Feng wasn¡¯t the one that was moving. To be urate, one of his arms was still slowly moving, slowly being lifted.

    The devil expert frowned. "This guy..." Was he not willing to give up even now?

    Once again, the devil swung his hammer.

    Duang!

    The formidable power caused space to shake. That arm of Chen Feng¡¯s was not able to be lowered after being lifted and was frozen right there. This was a power one couldn¡¯t hope to contend against.

    Even so, while trembling, one of his fingers was outstretched, slowly, pointed downward. It moved slowly, stubbornly.

    The devil expert sneered. "Idiotic." s, he did not notice that on Chen Feng¡¯s stiff body, that body incapable of moving, rested a pair of unprecedentedly bright eyes.

    "Soon! Soon!" Chen Feng roared inwardly. He had been taking in each and every move of that devil expert¡¯s. He had been studying each and every instance of that devil expert using his power. From the moment this devil had started moving, he and Spirit had been constructing numerous all-rounded matrices to analyze everything about the devil¡ªthe devil¡¯s power, body, and every motion and ability.

    He had been deducing without stop, with extra focus ced on the method for controlling awakened power. Chen Feng did not know if this would work. However, this was the only thing he could do. And just now, Spirit had finally finished their analysis of the control method this devil had used for awakened power.

    This was the true method to control the power of the awakened. The method they had obtained was still rather unclear, and there might still be some ws in it, but this was the only thing the present Chen Feng could attempt.

    Shua! Shua!

    His brain was stuffed full with numerous forms pertaining to the method for controlling awakened power. Chen Feng familiarized himself with it at a rapid speed but was still somewhat at a loss regarding how exactly this power was supposed to be controlled.

    This was akin to a situation when one tried to cheat during an exam when answering a problem-solving question by flipping the textbook open. Although the individual words in the textbook could be understood, when they joined to form a sentence, one would have no idea what the textbook was talking about. Moreover, even if the problem-solving question and the chapter of the textbook that was being read covered the same topic, the contents might be different and one might need to alter the answer slightly rather than copy down whatever was in the textbook.

    s...

    What was this?

    And what in the world was that?

    How was he supposed to use that?

    No idea.

    Chen Feng had no idea. Spirit had no idea. They had only managed to obtain a rather vague copy of the devil¡¯s control method. Whether or not they could use it remained to be seen. But right now, Chen Feng had no other option.

    He clenched his teeth. "Well, I will just have to try it out." Next, he paused as he noted that his gums were bleeding. There was no helping it, since he clenched his teeth whenever he was fighting.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint energy converged. The devil expert continued swinging the hammer, yet no further difficulties were imposed upon Chen Feng. When the entirety of his body could not move, Chen Feng was able to resolutely move his single finger, the only finger he could move. Slowly, his finger pointed downward.

    This was the very first time he had unleashed awakened power using the proper control method. This was a rather clumsy temte created by both him and Spirit to control his power.

    The instant the power bloomed from his finger, heaven and earth trembled.

    Bang!

    Instantly, a terrifying power erupted. A terrifying power surged out of his finger and forcefully shattered the metaphorical chains binding his body. Like an ocean current, his power swept out, crashing through space around him.

    Bang! Bang!

    They could hear the indistinct sound of space being shattered. That boundless power engulfed everything. That storm-like translucent power smashed into every unknown power in the area but did not cause any harm to anyone there.

    Sess!

    Chen Feng was overjoyed. He had seeded in controlling his awakened power!

    Although he had merely broken free of this frozen world and hadn¡¯t done much damage, this was the very first time he had controlled his awakened power in a wless manner. The significance of this was muchrger than it seemed. At this time, when that power vanished, everyone noted with astonishment that they could once again move.

    "I can move again?"

    "Same here."

    They were all madly surprised. The only exception was the devil expert opposite them. He stood there, dumbstruck, staring at Chen Feng with an unbelieving expression, not daring to believe that Chen Feng had actually been able to break free of his frozen world! That was not supposed to be possible!

    "Unless..." Finally, the devil expert realized something. His pupils shrunk, and his gaze locked onto Chen Feng. At this realization, he said, "You are actually an S ss as well? You have also grasped the power of the awakened as well?"

    It was no wonder that... Chen Feng could so easily break free of this frozen world! Yes, if Chen Feng was indeed an awakened, what he had done was exinable. Chen Feng didn¡¯t have some ancient items. Rather, he had real awakened power, hence the unrestrained manner in which he had used the power. However, even now, the devil was not willing to believe that even now, in this so-called "Gic Era," someone had been able to break through! That was impossible! Because the prospect of that happening was nonexistent! In this unique world...

 Chapter 615: That Era

    Chapter 615: That Era

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Absolutely impossible," howled the devil expert. He was not scared of Chen Feng¡¯s strength. Rather, he was shocked by the fact that Chen Feng could disy such power. He nked. "Awakened... the divine force disappeared ten thousand years ago... Ever since the decline of the Primordial Era... It has been a long time since anyone entered this realm..."

    Shua!

    He waved his hand and grabbed at the empty air with a nk expression, muttering to himself, "Has the divine force finally recovered?"

    Yet he was soon disappointed, as he couldn¡¯t sense that familiar power in the air at all.

    Chen Feng: "..." This guy here seemed like something of a swindler. Divine force? Wasn¡¯t this awakened power?

    The devil expert was surprised when he noticed Chen Feng¡¯s expression. "You are actually unaware of it? You do not even know about divine force, yet you were able toprehend the power of an awakened? How is that possible?"

    Chen Feng frowned. He felt that he had seemingly missed something.

    The devil expertughed like someone going crazy. "Hahahaha! You don¡¯t even know what an awakened is! Hahahaha! Even so, you are still able to destroy my attack."

    Chen Feng frowned. He had a vague feeling that things were not as simple as he thought. What exactly was this power called "awakened"? Why was this guy behaving so weirdly? Divine force...what was that?

    "You are indeed clueless." The devil expert shook his head, somewhat regretful and shocked at the same time. "A human who knows nothing has actually broken the shackles?"

    Chen Feng looked at him. "What do you mean?"

    "You don¡¯t need to know." The devil expert shook his head. "If the divine force had recovered, we will no longer have any need to fight. Unfortunately, it has not recovered. All this is merely an ident. Perhaps, with the decline of the Primordial Era, there is no longer any possibility of it recovering. Your breakthrough is but an ident.

    "I heard that your luck is exceptionally good. Perhaps you might have truly entered the awakened realm by fluke with the help of some items of the Primordial Era. s, it is pointless. The era of the awakened is long gone." He shook his head. What was in the past was ultimately in the past. It would not be changed due to some ident. The prosperity of that era would never return.

    Bang!

    A formidable power erupted. He grasped his hand tightly around his hammer.

    "Come." The devil expert pointed at Chen Feng. "Show me how powerful an idental awakened like you can be."

    Bang!

    His figure shot forth abruptly.

    "Battle!"

    Chen Feng had no hesitation. Since this old swindler had rambled on for such a long time, Chen Feng could understand what he had been saying. However, it did not matter. Even if this devil was unwilling to tell what he knew now, after Chen Feng defeated him, Chen Feng could force him to open his mouth.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng had a cold gaze.

    Bang!

    Midair, that radiant hammer descended, so powerful that it was petrifying. Yet Chen Feng merely raised his hand calmly, pointing upward with a single finger. This action appeared so very feeble, causing the onlookers to worry that he would be pulverized by the hammer. Yet it was this very feeble-looking finger that once again bloomed with a petrifying power as that tiny dot of cold light collided with the hammer.

    Bang!

    A bright explosion erupted. Once again, a terrifying shockwave was sent everywhere.

    Pu!

    Both Chen Feng and the devil expert took two steps back, spurting blood out of their mouths.

    "Chen Feng!"

    Everyone was anxious as they saw this, yet none dared to venture forth for fear of causing Chen Feng trouble.

    "No worries." Chen Feng wiped the blood dripping out of his mouth and regarded the devil in front of him.

    "Hehe." The devil expert was nkly gazing at the blood he had spurted out. Next, he smiled. "I have actually been injured?"

    Chen Feng merely looked at him coldly.

    The devil expert smiled. "Interesting." He gazed at Chen Feng and closed his eyes before opening them again. "You are actually this young... This race known as ¡¯humans¡¯... is indeed filled with limitless possibilities." Suddenly, he looked at the young prince. "Come."

    "Ah?" The young prince went over cautiously.

    "Remember." The devil expert patted the prince¡¯s shoulder. "There is a saying that exists among all races, regardless of whether it is the ancient race, devil race, barbarians, or even humans. This saying, you must etch into your brain." One word at a time, the devil expert said, "Those not of my race must never be trusted!"

    "!!!" The young prince nked and looked at the enemy. Was that truly the case? But the humans and ancients seemed much more harmonious than he had guessed?

    "Hehe. Never trust in so-called allies. The barbarians once trusted their allies, yet they ended up vanishing from the annals of history," the devil expert solemnly said. "Therefore, remember. If our devil race wants to continue surviving, we must keep this saying in our hearts and slowly grow our race..."

    He sighed.

    Bang!

    A formidable power bloomed.

    "Ancestor!"

    The devil prince was rmed. What was the ancestor trying to do?

    Shua!

    The devil expert waved his hand. Instantly, the devil prince was teleported away.

    "Not a single person will leave this ce alive. As for what actually happened here, feel free to make up a story. I hope that... amid the battle between the humans and ancients, the devils can make use of this to survive on. Remember... the future of the devils is now in your hands."

    Shua!

    Light swirled around.

    "Ancestor!" the young prince shouted mournfully before vanishing. He had been teleported away. Chen Feng merely watched on coldly. He did not try to stop this, nor could he stop it even if he wanted to.

    He gazed at the devil expert calmly. "It seems like you are going to put everything on the line to fight now."

    "Yes." The devil expert spoke in a self-mocking manner. "I have to do something for the devil race, right? I originally believed that I could lead the devil race and rise once again, but now, it seems like I have to think of an alternative."

    In this era, only three races existed. Since the humans and ancients had allied, the devils would most certainly face destruction.

    Shua!

    He lifted his hand. A ray of light shot out, locking down their surroundings.

    This time, he hadn¡¯t bothered with freezing time. Rather, he had merely locked this entire area with light, stopping anyone from escaping.

    Chen Feng looked at him. "So you are truly thinking of putting your life on the line?"

    "I have no choice. You are the first awakened to appear after the Primordial Era. Even if you are weak, even if you don¡¯t even know what awakened power is, you are still powerful. I have no confidence in defeating you, not in my present form," the devil expert stated calmly. Presently, too much of his strength was sealed. If he was to fight normally, he would not be able to defeat Chen Feng. "More importantly, you are too young. I am always fearful of the young." The devil expert spoke slowly. "Regardless of whether it was due to luck or some other factor, for you to have reached this level at this age, you might be even stronger in the future. As such, to give the devil race a chance at surviving, I will keep you here forever!"

    "You seem to have forgotten about one person," Chen Feng reminded him. "The strongest of the ancients, that old man."

    The strongest of the Land of Legacy, the master of the QQ diamond members! That old man was an apex expert in the truest sense!

 Chapter 616: Duma!

    Chapter 616: Duma!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "You are talking about that guy?" The devil expert chuckled. "He is different."

    Chen Feng raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"

    "Even though he also acted during the Holy War back then..." The devil expert shook his head. "That is also thest time he acted. He is not a person of this era and will not get involved in things pertaining to this era. After all, he is the Duma..." The devil expert sighed,menting.

    Duma!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted viciously. So it turned out that the old man was Duma? This was not the first time Chen Feng had heard this name. That tortoise they had encountered several times had had a badge with "Duma" on it. He had always thought that Duma was the name of that tortoise. It turned out that it was the name of the tortoise¡¯s master instead?

    He was the master of Qin Hai and his fellow apprentice brothers. He had once been the only main character of the Holy War. He was a superexpert who had destroyed the barbarian¡¯s civilization. So he was actually Duma?

    But then, from what this devil expert had said, the significance of this Duma waspletely different than what Chen Feng had believed, since the mere word alone had filled this devil with mncholy. What exactly was Duma? Chen Feng had no idea. However, he was sure that even if he asked, this devil would not tell him.

    Chen Feng raised an eyebrow. "Why are you telling me all this?"

    The devil expert smiled. "Because you have no idea how precious you are. In this wondrousnd, in this wondrous world, someone has actually be an awakened. You are not aware of the significance of this feat..."

    Chen Feng sank into silence. Could it be that this was a world where it was impossible for a new awakened to appear? Why? In fact, Chen Feng had only broken through to the awakened realm because he and Kong Bai had arrived on an alien world, that Twin Horns World. In short, there¡¯s some sort of limitation on this world? guessed Chen Feng.

    The devil expert spoke calmly. "To be honest, if the divine force had been able to recover... If that era had appeared once again, not only would I have told you everything, I would even have imparted upon you everything I know and treated you as my junior, turning you into a true legend, leading this world out of its predicament. Unfortunately, that era has not returned. This is still a destend, a ce where three races wage war. For the future of the devil race, you must die here."

    Shua!

    In a serene manner, he took a step forward.

    Bang!

    A boundless power was ignited. This time, he wasn¡¯t igniting a specific part of his body. Rather, his entire body was ignited. Abruptly, a petrifying power surged.

    "This power..." The president and the rest were horrified. The seal... had been removed! The true power of an awakened had been returned! The devil expert bathed in the me, while his entire body transformed into the energy form. His true power returned, the seal on him reduced into nothingness.

    Their hearts chilled. It¡¯s over. They couldn¡¯t even defeat a sealed devil expert, let alone this devil expert at full power. The moment all of them¡ªthe nominal strongest experts of the humans and ancients¡ªdied here, what would happen to the humans and ancients? None of them had an answer to this question. What story would the young devil prince, who had been teleported away, fabricate regarding what happened here? They had no answer to that as well.

    Chen Feng sighed. "Is there a need to go this far?" The devil expert had indeed recovered his peak power. Yet simrly, having ignited his entire body, he would not be able to live long. The moment his energy was exhausted would also be the moment he died for real.

    The devil expert had a serene expression. "For the devil race." He would not allow his descendants to continue on this decline.

    Shua!

    His formidable power locked on to all of them. Not a single person would be able to leave this ce alive, especially this youngster with seemingly unlimited potential.

    "I have also learned how to control the power of the awakened." Chen Feng looked at the devil. "You might not be able to defeat me."

    "Are you sure?" The devil expert lifted his hand slightly, and a boundless power ignited.

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed as he saw that. He had just learned of the basic control methods for awakened power. If magic was used as the analogy, it was equivalent to going from shrouding his physical body with magic power and brawling to using the magic power to form a fireball. As for this opponent, he was already capable of using forbidden spells. They were in twopletely different leagues.

    The devil expert moved. "Unfortunately, you were born in the wrong time."

    Bang!

    Instantly, the terrifying power bloomed. This time, the attack covered everything within eyesight of the devil expert. Nobody could hope to escape, nobody could hope to hide. This was an attack from this devil expert at his full power; this was the true power of an awakened one.

    "Let¡¯s end this."

    Bang!

    The devil expert waved his hand. Time seemed to stop flowing.

    Beng!

    Chen Feng pointed midair. The surging awakened power within him erupted. Numerous destructive forces erupted, yet they all seemed ineffective. They were too weak!

    "This won¡¯t do."

    Chen Feng was anxious. He watched on, helpless to do anything, as that terrifying power descended upon him. His awakened power, which he had thought would be sufficient to block this devil expert, seemed so helpless before this attack.

    Shua!

    The ancients were frozen.

    Shua!

    The president was frozen.

    In an instant, everyone was frozen. And next... was Chen Feng. Only a split second had passed, yet Chen Feng noticed that his entire body had been frozen. No matter how he exerted his strength, he couldn¡¯t even budge. This attack was impossible to block! Was this the true power of this devil expert after the seal had been removed? This was too powerful!

    The devil expert sighed. "Let¡¯s end this." Chen Feng¡¯s strength was at a simr level to his when he had been sealed. Now that his seal had been lifted, there was no longer any suspense regarding the result of this battle.

    Bang!

    His hand descended.

    "Here ites!" Chen Feng was in a solemn mood. He knew that the moment the hand finished descending, everyone here would be erased. What to do? His mind started operating speedily.

    "Spirit, are you done with the analysis?" Chen Feng asked inwardly.

    In his illusory world, countless lights were flickering about as countless data rapidly shed past. He and Spirit were still putting great effort into analyzing every one of that devil expert¡¯s actions and motions. They had long finished recording the data of the devil expert. The most important task now was to reverse engineer it, transforming it into something Chen Feng could use. s, it did not seem to be working.

    Regardless of how many times he tried, it failed. Their body structures were different, as were their energy systems. In other words, the attack this devil expert had unleashed was tooplicated, causing them to fail to get a clear result in their research even now when they were on the verge of death.

    His illusory world moved much faster than the outside world, as it moved in ordance with his speed of thought, allowing him to change his line of thought numerous times in the illusory world. In fact, in the real world, he was facing death.

    Analyze! Analyze! Deduce! Deduce! Yet everything he tried failed.

    Chen Feng forced himself to calm down. "Where did I go wrong?" He knew that such an analysis would normally require a huge amount of time to seed, especially for the more powerful abilities. s, what hecked the most now was time.

 Chapter 617: Kill!

    Chapter 617: Kill!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng¡¯s mind worked rapidly. "Energy system... Body structure..."

    By his side, Spirit assisted without stop. Chen Feng¡¯s gaze swept past her, and suddenly, he nked.

    Spirit blinked her huge pair of eyes. "Hey?"

    Chen Feng thought of something. "If it¡¯s you..." What if Spirit was the one disying the deduced ability? After all, Spirit didn¡¯t have a physical body, and thus would not have any problems regarding body structure. With this, the hardest issue would be solved.

    Spirit shrugged. "But I am merely an illusory existence." After all, she had been created by Chen Feng¡¯s spiritual consciousness. She had no true body and was incapable of exerting any sort of control over Chen Feng¡¯s power.

    "I know," Chen Feng replied with bright eyes. "But he can."

    He pointed. In the corner, a tiny red snake was stretching there. nkly, Xiao Ying raised his head. Why was everyone looking at him suddenly?

    Spirit was surprised. "Xiao Ying?" Indeed, Xiao Ying and Chen Feng were in a symbiotic rtionship. If she used Xiao Ying, it would indeed be possible for her to make use of Chen Feng¡¯s power. If Xiao Ying was used as an intermediary, with her being the one to circte and unleash this power...

    Spirit was overjoyed as she considered this possibility. This might very well seed. In fact, Xiao Ying was the most optimal choice to try using the power on behalf of Chen Feng. s, due to his rather low intelligence, if he was told to control such aplicated power, he might kill their own people with it instead. As such, they would have to rely on Spirit.

    Spirit was somewhat anxious. "Will this be fine?"

    Chen Feng gazed at her seriously. "Trust me." At a time like this, they had no other choices.

    "All right." A serious expression appeared on Spirit¡¯s face, a rarely seen expression on her face, causing her to look rather adorable. Now that the problem concerning body structure had been solved, the next step was to look into the energy system. Chen Feng¡¯s awakened power was essentially an entirely different power than the devil expert¡¯s awakened power. The power disyed by the devil was a power capable of freezing space, whereas Chen Feng¡¯s power remained unknown. Under normal circumstances, Chen Feng would have to go through countless tests before optimizing this awakened power into something that was truly his.

    But now...

    He looked at Spirit. "Let¡¯s just do our best!" Spirit nodded resolutely. At present, they had no choice but to force it. And thus, as the attack of the devil expert was about tond, when everyone was frozen, a shadow shed out of Chen Feng¡¯s body. Suddenly, the entire world darkened. That sh was the only radiance in this world, so very dazzling.

    "Huh?"

    The devil expert looked over in amazement. There, on Chen Feng¡¯s body, a translucent radiance shed out and a beautiful figure appeared. In her hand was a red sword presently pointed at the devil expert.

    The devil expert sank into a solemn mood. "What is this?"

    Shua!

    The red sword shed downward. Instantly, an astonishing power erupted.

    The devil expert¡¯s expression changed greatly. "This..."

    Bang!

    The space frozen by the devil expert started rocking.

    The devil expert was shocked. "How is this possible?" This was a power he had unleashed under his full power. That fellow... that Chen Feng still had this move up his sleeves? No, he could not be allowed to continue this.

    The devil expert moved. "Kill him!" His body flickered and instantly appeared before Chen Feng. Since he couldn¡¯t kill Chen Feng by freezing space, he would personally smash Chen Feng apart!

    "Die!" He smashed down ferociously. Right this instant, that translucent figure before Chen Feng solidified. Finally, the devil expert got a clear look at that figure. Instantly, his body shivered.

    Pu!

    The red sword shed down. Instantly, the terrifying power shed through the devil expert.

    The devil expert stared at the figure with an unbelieving expression. "You..." Blood flowed out of his body without stop.

    Why...

    He stared at the figure, stared at the long sword in her hands and sensed that formidable power, his gaze focused on that beautiful face. His eyes were filled with shock, rm, a speck of adoration, and disbelief all at the same time.

    Why...

    "Hahaha." He let out a tragicugh as his body slowly turned into ashes amid the me. Even after being reduced to ashes, numerous odd expressions could be seen from the me.

    Hey?

    Spirit nked. She kept feeling like this fellow was looking at her with an odd gaze.

    Bang! Bang!

    The devil expert¡¯s body transformed into nothingness amid the me.

    Dead.

    Dead?

    Chen Feng nked. He knew that something different would be the result when Spirit and Xiao Ying tried using his power. However, he had never expected that they would actually be able to kill that devil expert so easily. With a single sh, the devil expert had been killed. The devil expert had died way too easily. That sh...

    Chen Feng gazed at Spirit.

    "He feels weird." Spirit recalled that devil expert¡¯s final moments and said, "Perhaps his energy was on the verge of total exhaustion? After all, he unlocked the seal through the ignition of his life force."

    Chen Feng nodded. "Perhaps." He gazed ahead. The me turned into nothingness. Once again, darkness returned to this region.

    Hum¡ª

    Along with the devil¡¯s death, the frozen space was released. This region recovered to normal, and the president and the rest were able to once again move. They looked around. The devil was no longer there, only Chen Feng alone.

    They were all shocked. "You have actually reached this level?" When they had found out that Chen Feng was already an S ss, they had been extremely shocked. But it was only now that they realized how terrifying Chen Feng was. This guy was far stronger than a regr S ss. This was evident from the indignant look the devil had had in his eyes when he¡¯d died.

    Chen Feng was absolutely an S ss that was different than the others. The S-ss devil had been dealt with. This had been extremely difficult. However, different from what they had expected, there were no S-ss genes left behind. The body of the devil expert had been reduced into nothingness amid the me. As such, there was no hope of producing an S-ss gene reagent.

    Indeed...

    The president sighed. They had been stuck at peak beyond A ss for so many years. In the end, they still had no chance of stepping into S ss.

    Li Lei looked at Chen Feng curiously. "How did you enter S ss?" Everyone looked over uniformly as they heard the question. They wanted to know the answer as well, since the devil expert had mentioned that it was impossible for a new S ss to appear here in this world.

    Even the president hadn¡¯t even touched upon the gates of S ss after so many years of cultivation. How had Chen Feng broken through? They were curious.

    "I broke through on a different world," Chen Feng told them truthfully. "Previously, when I was being hunted, Inded in spatial current and identally arrived on a unique alien world. After breaking through there, I escaped back to this world."

    Shua!

    Everyonepsed into silence. If it wasn¡¯t for Chen Feng¡¯s serious expression when he was speaking, they would have thought that he was lying. Spatial current? Alien world? It wasn¡¯t that they did not believe that such things existed. Rather, the probability of that happening was so incredibly low. An alien world! The probability of that happening was as low as the probability of humans finding a world habitable for humans in the universe. No, it was even lower. Even if they could discover a suitable world, the probability of life-forms existing there as well was... terrifyingly low. There was also the probability of surviving the spatial current and the probability of actually returning again.

    Chen Feng had not told them in detail and had only use a single "escape" to describe his return. This, coupled with the fact that even as an S ss, he had still had to "escape," signified how dangerous it had been. After experiencing all that, he had actually returned alive! This luck...

    "You guys can give it a try," Chen Feng proposed in a friendly manner.

    "Hehe."

    The rest exchanged nces and gave up the thought of breaking into S ss.

    "This guy¡¯s luck is heaven-defying."

    Everyone thought so. They would never know that the only reason Chen Feng had been able toplete this feat smoothly was thanks to both his Luck Aura and Kong Bai.

    "It¡¯s also good that nobody can break through. At least there won¡¯t be any wars as a result."

    Everyone nodded. "True." The potential upheaval brought about by the appearance of an S ss was too scary, especially the appearance of an unknown S ss. Now that the devils no longer had an S ss, the devil race was done for.

    "I will get them to investigate the devil race. Now that the devils have no leader, it¡¯s best if we don¡¯t allow them any chances to rise up again. That devil prince, we must capture him."

    "Understood."

    "What¡¯s left shall be handled by the explorers. The devil race is over."

    "True."

    Everyone nodded. It seemed like the devil race was truly done for this time. However, even though the devil race was finished, everyone still had numerous questions.

    Primordial Era...

    Awakened power...

    Unique world...

    What were these exactly? What had the devil expert meant when he¡¯d said those things? What was wrong with this world? Why was it no longer possible for new S sses to appear in this world? None of them had any idea. The devil expert had died just like that after leaving a bunch of questions behind for them.

    Oh, right. There was also that guy called Duma, the expert of the ancient race. Why was the devil expert so sure that Duma wouldn¡¯t make a move? Why was he not a person of this era? No one had an answer. Even the ancients didn¡¯t have an answer. Chen Feng tried asking Qin Hai, yet even Qin Hai couldn¡¯t answer that.

    Duma...

    That old fellow...

    Chen Feng rubbed his head. There were way too many puzzles.

    Li Lei walked over and patted Chen Feng¡¯s shoulder."Let¡¯s go. We will think about it after we return."

    Chen Feng nodded. "Mhm..."

    "I will look into the senior of the Land of Legacy," Tianyu Liming said meekly.

    "..." The president gave her aplicated gaze. He still remembered what had happened between them during the moment of crisis. Even though he had been somewhat rmed after finding out the truth...

    "I..." Tianyu Liming gave the president a look, a somewhat dispirited expression on her face. The president¡¯s heart ached as he saw this.

    He let out a long sigh. "I know what to do now."

    What should he be afraid of? Nowadays, even transvestites could get married, let alone Tianyu Liming, who had been truly transformed into a female without any trace of an operation. After all, he had promised... Since he had been the one who to initiate the courtship, he would have to finish what he had started...

    "When you have time, you cane take a stroll at the Gic Union," the president said while feigning a calm expression.

    Tianyu Liming nked slightly before erupted in joy. "Really?" She was so agitated that her plump bosom trembled. Finally, she had received his confirmation. At this time, Chen Feng was watching on from far away with a smile on his face. This was how human life should be... When free, just make some love. Why make war?

    Spirit rolled her eyes. She felt like this master of hers was getting more and more indecent.

    "When we return, we should start investigating the so-called Primordial Era."

    "Mhm."

    "After all, that was an era from before humans existed. Perhaps the barbarians know something about it?"

    "Mhm."

    "There¡¯s also Duma..."

    Chen Feng paused. With this big shot as their backer, the ancient race was truly rather scary. As such, they had to gain a clear understanding of the actual power of the Land of Legacy. Simrly, the ancient race had to figure it out as well. They had to know exactly how strong that senior of theirs was, as that was their greatest trump card, despite the fact that the Land of Legacy was their holynd.

    And thus, under the president¡¯s "pillow talk," Tianyu Liming decided to go there personally with the president to find out the truth of things.

    What an upright fellow!

    At present, a lot of people had their thoughts concentrated on that Land of Legacy. Naturally, regardless of whether the Land of Legacy existed or not, the possibility of the humans and ancients going to war was extremely low. Now that the ancients had had a taste of peace, a taste of actual culture, they were no longer capable of returning to their old ways, their primitive society.

    As for the humans, there were too many bachelors among them. When it came to finding their dream girl, who was gentle, beautiful, and had a seductive figure and formidablebat power, the ancients were the perfect choice. The humans and ancients were blending together in a wless fashion. Their only worry was the Land of Legacy.

    What did the people there think about this? What exactly did that senior think? If on the eve of theplete fusion of humans and ancients, that old fellow came out and said no to this and told them to eliminate the humans instead, that would be quite the joke.

    As such, their next target would be the Land of Legacy.

    If the two races intended to blend perfectly, this was something they had to do.

    Chen Feng sighed endlessly. "Therefore... our next step is to meet the ¡¯parents¡¯?"

    The president: "..."

    Chen Feng patted his shoulder. "Be sure to be courteous when you meet your father-inw. After all, you represent us humans."

    "Hmph!"

    The president red at Chen Feng coldly. He felt like pping this fellow to death, but subsequently, he recalled that it seemed like he could no longer defeat this fellow here...

    "Hehe." Chen Feng watched on with a big smile on his face as the president left, and he waved his hand. "Do you want to bring some gifts with you? Maybe you can ask if your lord father-inw fancies some cigarettes or alcohol."

    The president staggered and turned around to gave Chen Feng a ferocious re before leaving with Tianyu Liming.

    "Hopefully, everything will go smoothly," muttered Li Lei. At a crucial time like this, no one would want something to happen to the rtionship between the humans and ancients. Now that the devils were finished, so long as the humans and ancients could blend perfectly, this world would return to peace! Everything was progressing in a desirable fashion.

    "Yeah." Ba Gu took in a deep breath. "Hopefully... everything will be fine."

    "It should be fine." Chen Feng gave it some thought and said, "That devil expert said it: Duma will never act and is not a person of this era. Perhaps there are some hidden meanings there. Coupled with Tianyu Liming and the absolute majority of the ancients wishing for the same thing as us, there shouldn¡¯t be any problems with this."

    Moreover... there was also Qin Hai helping there , Chen Feng thought. The nominal leader of the ancients is still Qin Hai.

    "True." Li Lei stretchedzily. "Seems like I can take a proper rest after returning."

    "That¡¯s natural." Ba Gu smiled. "But Chen Feng, you will be busy next."

    "I know." Chen Feng felt helpless. Why would he be busy? Due to him being an S ss. Nowadays, Chen Feng¡¯s identity was too unique and his strength too great. He was the first to be S ss among the humans. As such, he would have to conduct some experience-sharing sessions and all that...

    After all, there were way too many humans stuck at peak beyond A ss nowadays. As such, without a doubt, after returning, Chen Feng would have to conduct a lecture for all those fellows. What should he lecture about? How should he conduct the lecture? He would need to consider this properly.

    Li Lei sighed. "We are aware that there¡¯s a problem with this world that is restricting the progression into S ss. The same can¡¯t be said for them."

    Ba Gu approved of this. "It¡¯s better if we don¡¯t let them know about this, giving them some sort of hope." If the others knew that their route of cultivation after beyond A ss was severed, they would probably copse emotionally. As such, they would have to be given some sort of hope so they would have something to chase after.

    Chen Feng nodded his head. "I understand." It seemed like he would have to prepare properly for this lecture.

    Chapter 619: Mysterious Small Town

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Soon, the news of their return spread, shocking everyone. The devil race¡¯s S ss had been sessfully killed. This wasn¡¯t something the people found surprising. However, the one who had killed the devil was actually Chen Feng, who had also entered S ss. This was an astonishing piece of news. Only now did they realize that Chen Feng was now the apex expert of the human race.

    "Apex expert?"

    "He has actually reached this step?"

    "He has only been in this field for several years... Oh, heavens..."

    "Chen Feng has actually entered S ss?"

    "S ss?"

    "How is that possible?"

    "Just like that, he has be the apex expert of humanity?"

    Everyone was shocked endlessly. Those people had been stuck at peak beyond A ss for so many years, and at this moment when they thought that there was no hope of breaking through, Chen Feng had broken through. He was so very young.

    At this moment, even the most patient of all could not suppress their curiosity. Even those expert hermits who had always been hiding in caves or forests appeared and headed toward the Gic Union. Countless people applied to have Chen Feng impart upon them his experiences.

    Naturally, Chen Feng wasn¡¯t stingy with his knowledge. After deciding on a time, at the Gic Union, facing all the peak beyond A sses, he held a ss, a ss where he bragged without end.

    During the entirety of the ss, Chen Feng bragged about how awesome he was, how amazing he was, how he had defeated the devils, how he had broken through during a moment of crisis, how he had saved everyone! Those old fellows with white beards who were listening in were all incredibly irritated by all the bragging, yet they had no choice but to continue listening in for fear of missing out on important information.

    Mhm...

    Toward the end, they found that there was only one main point: Chen Feng had broken through while fighting the devil expert. Perhaps, it was rted to the excessive danger of this mission, or perhaps this was rted to the devils.

    In short, under that circumstance of extreme danger, he had broken through. That was all there was to it. So very simple.

    Based on what Chen Feng had said, the feeling was simr to a person who had suffered constipation for half a month and was able to suddenly shit smoothly in a carefree manner. After describing it, he asked if the crowd understood what he meant. The bunch of old fellows who had been "constipated" for several decades all had dark expressions when they heard his analogy.

    Toward this exnation of Chen Feng¡¯s, each of them had different thoughts.

    However, the one sure thing was that after that ss ended, countless peak beyond A sses started hunting the devil race. The devil race was truly finished.

    "Is it good to lie to them like this?" Li Lei asked with a faint smile.

    "What¡¯s not good about it?" Chen Feng stated faintly. "It is fine to forget about those who have been fighting for humanity all this while. What¡¯s the deal with those old fellows who were secluding themselves in cultivation all the time, never helping? They enjoyed the benefits brought by human civilization, yet when humanity encountered danger, they still hid in their respective forests and mountains? Even so, when they heard that I had broken through into S ss, they actually dared toe out from hiding to seek guidance? These people deserve to be lied to."

    Chen Feng was calm. He never had a good opinion of these people.

    Li Lei chuckled. "True." Only people like them who had fought alongside Chen Feng knew how Chen Feng had broken through. That was a set of circumstances none could replicate. Going to an alien world? Li Lei shook his head at the thought.

    "Here, this is what you wanted." Li Lei transmitted some data to Chen Feng.

    Shua!

    The screen flickered. Numerous pictures appeared on the screen.

    "This..."

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. In the pictures were numerous ancient-looking bones and scales, as well as some sort of unique power. Some seals and patterns had been seemingly carved onto these bones and scales.

    "These are the remnants of the Primordial Era," Li Lei exined from the side. "I got them from the Research Agency. A long time ago, an archeology group had discovered all these. However, there was not much progress in their studies and they were only able to record them down. After so many years, a huge amount of these things have been umted."

    Shua! Shua!

    Chen Feng flipped through the pictures without stop. Numerous ancient seals and patterns could be seen. Archaeology? A thought surfaced in Chen Feng¡¯s mind.

    This term had jolted a rather old set of memories in his brain. In his previous life, his father had also been an archeologist. Toward the end, he had died before managing to even find anything. No, he had indeed found something. Chen Feng paused and ced his palm on his chest, feeling the warmth there.

    At least... his father had discovered the Fate Stone.

    "What¡¯s up?" Li Lei asked as he saw Chen Feng¡¯s weird movement.

    "Nothing." Chen Feng shook his head and looked at the pictures. "Do we have any samples of these things depicted in the pictures?"

    "Yes, however..." Li Lei appeared awkward. "The Research Agency will not allow anyone to touch them."

    "Not even me?" Chen Feng asked in astonishment. With his present status and strength, he could nearly do whatever he wanted in the human world. This was especially true after he had be an awakened. Would the Research Agency dare to stop him?

    "This is unrted to your status." Li Lei smiled bitterly. "How should I say this... From the pictures, you can¡¯t see it, but in fact, those things are exceptionally dangerous."

    Chen Feng¡¯s curiosity was piqued. "How so?"

    Li Lei shook his head and transmitted another set of data to Chen Feng. "You can look at it yourself." With curiosity, Chen Feng looked at them. Next, his eyes shed. These things...

    When, exactly, had the Primordial Era urred? They had no idea. However, that era definitely predated humans. No, perhaps, that era was even older than the ancients and devils. As such, that was a time so long gone that nobody could hope to know exactly how long ago it was.

    As for the items left behind from that era, they would certainly have rather astonishing archeological value. During their early days, the Research Agency had had a bunch of people interested in such things, and therefore they had established a department to research this. And next... There was no next. Those who hade into contact with those items had all died in a short period of time.

    Everything pertaining to the Primordial Era had thus been kept away. As time had passed, some people had stumbled upon these things identally. All of them had been put away at first notice. At the Research Agency, these things were all forbidden items.

    This situation continued on for a long time, until human technology developed and humans entered the Gic Era. Under the unique conditions of the humans, using numerous methods such as virtual worlds, or perhaps anti-radiation methods or various simtions, humans started studying these things. And yet people still continued to die without stop, even the all-powerful gic warriors.

    Ultimately, these items were sealed away. However, not all of them were sealed away. There was a certain small town near the unknown regions whose inhabitants had been dying in a simr manner as those who had studied the things of the Primordial Era. Through investigation, they had discovered that there were a huge amount of these things from the Primordial Era there. The quantity of these things found there was even greater than the total amount of what they had found all these years.

    Even without digging them out, the people there were still dying without stop. As such, for the safety of the people there, the Research Agency had erected a bunch of defensive equipment near that town and had even moved away all the inhabitants of that town. Ultimately, the entire town had been locked down.

    Taking the cost and the safety issues into consideration, the Research Agency had ultimately decided to gather all the things of Primordial Era they¡¯d found in that town. However, how could the Research Agency bear to give up on those items?

 Chapter 620: Void Destroyer

    Chapter 620: Void Destroyer

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Those things were too enticing. Everyone knew that those things possessed mysterious powers. Everyone knew that those things possessed formidable futures. As such, how could the people refrain themselves? And thus, several years ago, the Research Agency, which had been itching to give it a shot, once again tried to study the things in that small city and had even borrowed a peak beyond A ss from the Gic Union.

    That peak beyond A ss had been stuck in that realm for a very long time. As such, he had been rather curious about the mysterious power contained in this city. And next... There was no next. The death of that peak beyond A ss rmed everyone. This was especially true since that peak beyond A ss had been an existence simr to the president, a pir of the Gic Union. His death had generated a huge wave. And once again, that small city had been sealed up due to the extreme danger there.

    In this world, there were a lot of unknown regions, but for them, this city was a truly dangerous cepared to those unknown regions. This was also the reason that they would never permit Chen Feng to enter that city.

    Chen Feng was now an S-ss expert. He was the apex existence among humanity, the hope of the human race. If something were to happen to Chen Feng there... they did not dare to imagine the consequences. Now that this world had obtained peace with great difficulty, nobody wished to see some mishap happen.

    Chen Feng sighed endlessly after he heard the full story. "So that¡¯s the case."

    Indeed. The three strongest organizations of this world had always been working hard silently behind the scene. The Research Agency had no idea what these things were. They did not even know that these things were from the Ancient Era, yet they had still been able to select the optimal choice for dealing with these things.

    Their choice was correct. It was for the best to not touch those things for now. But how long could thisst? The S ss of the devils was dead. However, the words he had said were truly rming. This wide world seemed to contain an unknown secret. Moreover...

    Chen Feng stretched his hand out. The awakened power gathered in his hand. That fellow from the devil race had called this "divine force"!

    "Divine force, huh?" Chen Feng muttered.

    He was recalling the words of that devil. Back then, that devil had assumed that Chen Feng was a person who had obtained some remaining items from the Primordial Era by fluke and had obtained temporary divine force as a result.

    In short, those things in that small city were exactly remnants of the Primordial Era! Within those things was indeed a power capable of temporarily granting someone awakened power!

    "For the devil to know of this, he must have seen them before. During the era of the devils, he must have encountered such a power. In short, the devils once obtained a remnant of the Primordial Era and even used it!"

    Chen Feng analyzed without stop.

    Awakened power...

    Divine force...

    He knew that the answer to this secret would be hidden within that small city.

    However...

    He was helpless as he read the report in his hand. The Research Agency would not give him a chance to enter. Naturally, with Chen Feng¡¯s present strength, they had no way of forcing him if he decided to employ brute force. But then...

    "Are you confident you can return alive?" Li Lei asked solemnly. "If you are, I will apany you as you fight your way in."

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. Evidently, that city was also a cityden with danger for him.

    "If so, stop thinking about it." Li Lei patted his shoulder. "We are stuck at peak beyond A ss, but not you. You might as well practice your awakened power properly. Perhaps you can even help us break through."

    Chen Feng nodded. "Mhm." At present, this was their only choice.

    He looked inwardly and noted that his Luck Aura was still updating.

    When Luck Aura is done updating and sufficient luck value has been umted, I can try entering this city, Chen Feng thought.

    Only then could he ensure he would be safe. For now, he let go of this and started rearranging all his gains during this period. His gains were especially bountiful after the victory against that devil expert. He had gained a basic control method for awakened power. Chen Feng had already attempted it. His was the power of disintegration. It was a very wondrous power. He did not possess the formidable power to freeze space as the old devil had. However, his power was able to disintegrate the abilities of others. With a single jab of his finger creating a cold sh, bang! Destruction ensued.

    This was the only usage of his power that Chen Feng had found thus far.

    Without a doubt, within this entire world, nobody was capable of blocking this power of Chen Feng¡¯s. Apart from this, his other strongest ability was the one Xiao Ying and Spirit hadbined to unleash. This was something he had learned from the devil expert. After reversing that devil expert¡¯s power, with a single sh, all of that devil expert¡¯s power had copsed and they had easily killed him off.

    Gic Union, testing room.

    He tried to get Spirit and Xiao Ying to once againbine and unleash that ability. "Try it out again?"

    Shua!

    The red shed, yet no damage was dealt. Even the weakest basic robot was unharmed by this attack.

    "Weird." Chen Feng nked. This was obviously the ability that had destroyed the final attack of that devil expert. Why was it not working now? Not doing any sort of damage? "Chop down directly," Chen Feng said after pondering the matter. He told Spirit and Xiao Ying to not think of anything else and to only sh down using awakened power.

    Bang!

    The robot died.

    An off-the-charts number was recorded on the machine.

    Mhm...

    shing at it directly worked.

    What of the ability released through thebination of Xiao Ying and Spirit, then?

    "Is it possible that this ability is only capable of destroying other abilities?" Spirit blinked and said, "If direct sh is a regr attack, then is this ability in fact an ability that does not deal any actual damage and would only destroy abilities?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shed. "That¡¯s possible. Come." Chen Feng tested without stop, and finally, he was able to gain a clear understanding of the function of this ability. However, this ability created through studying the ability of that devil expert truly caused his head to ache.

    Ineffective against 6-star secret arts!

    Ineffective against 5-star secret arts!

    Ineffective against 4-star secret arts!

    When Chen Feng was about to give up on it, with astonishment, he discovered that it worked on 3-star secret arts. After thorough testing, he found that this was unrted to the rating of the secret arts. Rather, this ability would only work against spatial abilities.

    This ability was capable of destroying all spatial abilities regardless of rating.

    Chen Feng pondered. "Perhaps it is rted to that devil expert." That devil expert had been good at spatial maniption, something Chen Fengbeled as an advanced version of spatial abilities, a version only awakened ones could use. As such, the ability Chen Feng had learned from studying him was only capable of destroying spatial powers. With gic spatial abilities being a lower form of the spatial power of that devil expert, it was natural for these abilities to be incapable of escaping destruction from Chen Feng¡¯s ability.

    Chen Feng sighed deeply. "What¡¯s the point of this ability?" Destroy all spatial abilities? It seemed powerful. Yet Chen Feng was already an S ss. All those regr spatial gic abilities were nothing before him. As for an S-ss enemy...

    Mhm...

    Even if he ignored the question of whether such an enemy existed, the power unleashed by such an enemy would be an advanced version like what the devil expert had. Facing such an opponent, this ability of Chen Feng¡¯s would only work if that enemy had the same ability as that devil expert. Was that possible?"

    Chen Feng was distressed. "What a trash ability."

    As such, the only useful awakened ability he had was that ability-disintegrating jab. After giving it some thought, Chen Feng gave this ability a rather grand name: Star-Disintegration Finger.

    As for that ultimate ability learned from studying the devil expert... Mhm... Chen Feng named it "Useless Void Destroyer."

    Spirit: "..."

    Can you not be so casual with it?

    "That battle between you and the devil expert is very valuable. I will continue analyzing the battle. Perhaps, we can enhance the Usel... Useless Void Destroyer," Spirit said.

    Chen Feng nodded. "All right."

    Next, he and Spirit concentrated on their studies. Although no enemies were in sight at present, due to his fear of the unknown, Chen Feng did not dare to ck. He had seen enemies even more powerful. Regardless of whether it was the Twin Horns World or Duma, or perhaps the unique life-forms capable of utilizing the remaining items of the Ancient Era that the devil expert had spoken of, he had to be on guard against them all.

    s, beyond his expectations, before his research even bore fruit, he received some rming news: the president and Tianyu Liming had gone missing!

 Chapter 621: Wish-Granting Old Man and Demon King

    Chapter 621: Wish-Granting Old Man and Demon King

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Missing?" Chen Feng was rmed. Those were two peak beyond A sses. How had they gone missing? "Those two fellows..." Chen Feng paused. "Could it be that they eloped?"

    The deputy president: "..."

    He smiled bitterly and looked at the news in his hand again before saying, "Based on the report received from the ancients, they have indeed gone missing, and not only them¡ªthe ancients that went with them have all gone missing as well. The entire Land of Legacy is shrouded by a peculiar aura." With a solemn expression, the deputy president finished, "Not a single person who has entered has returned. Something happened there."

    Land of Legacy...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shed. Indeed, something had happened there. He had no idea what had happened there, but he guessed that it was definitely rted to Duma. Apart from Duma, nobody had the strength to make this happen.

    "Looks like I have to pay the ancient race a visit," Chen Feng stated with a resolute gaze.

    ...

    Outer space.

    Those battleships remained floating outside the atmosphere. Suddenly, one of the battleships exploded. A terrifying shockwave spread out as the ship turned into numerous light particles before dissipating. No sound, no undtion. Just like that, a battleship vanished, leaving no trace behind. On the other battleships¡¯ radars, nothing was detected. Those people were still busy having the time of their lives in their respective ships. The stars appeared even brighter now.

    "Huh?"

    On the, a boy who was making a wish gazed at the stars in the sky. He seemed to have seen a sh earlier. He rubbed his eyes to confirm it, yet it seemed like nothing had happened at all.

    "Have I seen wrongly?" the boy muttered. Next, he continued making his wish in an excited manner, "I want a female sailor outfit, I want a sailor outfit..."

    Hum¡ª

    Suddenly, the space around him trembled. Next, a blue-and-white female sailor outfit appeared out of thin air andnded in the hands of the little boy.

    "Hey?"

    The boy who was making his wish was shocked. With an expression of disbelief, he rubbed the sailor outfit in his hands. Joy surfaced in his eyes. He caressed the outfit, feeling the smoothness of the material... This was actually a real sailor outfit!

    "I seeded?"

    The little boy was agitated. So it turned out that making a wish really worked!

    "I knew it! The stories mommy told me are not lies!"

    The little boy returned with his outfit in excitement, cheering along the way.

    Where he had stood previously, where the outfit had appeared, a light particle flickered faintly before vanishing cleanly, as if it had never appeared. Half an hourter, a middle-aged woman arrived there with a little boy. In her hand was a chicken feather duster that was being waved around the air. With a gloomy expression, she looked at the boy. "You are saying you got that outfit from here?"

    "Yes," the boy said meekly.

    "Try again." The middle-aged woman sneered. "Let me see if you can get other things just by wishing."

    "I..." The boy had a wronged expression. Carefully, he walked to where he stood earlier and shut his eyes. In a devout tone, he said, "I... I want a copy of ¡¯ Winter Break Homework¡¯..."[1] 1

    Nothing happened.

    The little boy panicked, thinking that his motive for wishing for this had been seen through.

    The boy decided topromise. "How about a ¡¯Summer Break Homework¡¯?"

    Yet... nothing happened. This time, the boy panicked for real.

    "What about ¡¯ Three Years Simtion, Five Years Quiz¡¯?"[2 2 ] the little boy said in despair. And yet nothing appeared.

    "Hehe."

    The middle-aged woman walked over coldly and grabbed the boy before beating him up.

    "Why are you being naughty? To even resort to stealing! Every single day, you steal the clothes of the youngdy next door to wear yourself! There are so many things you still have to learn, yet you had to learn from your dad to dress up as a woman!"

    Pa! Pa! Pa!

    The butt of the little boy was flushed red from the beatings. However, the boy, who had rich experience of having his butt beaten, did not weep or lose his reason. Rather, he shouted loudly, "I must have wished wrongly earlier. A wish will only be a wish when it¡¯s something I truly want."

    "Oh?" His mom sneered. "Well, continue wishing then. Let me see what exactly is it that you want."

    ...

    The boy had a feeling that he was going to be even more miserableter. The beating he had taken earlier had been for nothing, as he might get beaten one more time after this. What a loss! However, as he thought of his innocence... After all, he was still a real man despite his age. At most, he only dressed up in women¡¯s clothes. How could he resort to thieving?

    And thus, the young boy gathered his courage, walked to where he had stood earlier, and yelled, "I want a miniskirt!"

    Shua!

    A sky-blue loli miniskirt smashed down at him from the empty air above.

    "It appeared! It appeared!" the little boy said, agitated.

    "!!!" The middle-aged woman was rmed. She had initially thought that this boy had merely been looking for an excuse after stealing the sailor outfit. Unexpectedly, he had been telling the truth!

    Shua!

    Faint light particles gathered around.

    "Go!" Suddenly, the middle-aged woman realized something. She might not be an educated person, but she knew one thing clearly: in this world, one would not receive something for free for no apparent reason. For a gift to drop down from the sky... one would ultimately need to pay a price for what one had received.

    "Leave this ce."

    She dragged the little boy and left hastily. As for the little boy who had managed to avoid another round of beatings, despite his longing for that miniskirt, he still followed meekly behind his mother and left. This area returned to its previous tranquility. On the roof of a building nearby, a youth was watching all this with an interested expression while his hand flickered with light constantly.

    He smiled. "Looks like... I am rather powerful now?"

    If anyone else was here, they would definitely realize that this youth was precisely the representative of carnage, the legendary young demon king Wu Hui!

    "Looks like I have the potential to be a wish-granting old man."

    Heughed self mockingly. His unique ability was something that relied on the imagination of others. Granting wishes would be perfect.

    Shua!

    He waved his hand. The miniskirt transformed into a sh of light before vanishing.

    "I have reached this level now?"

    He was somewhat absent minded. True... Everyone was improving without stop. His master had also reached S ss. He had once vowed to be both the right and left arms of his master. As such, he absolutely couldn¡¯t fall behind their progress.

    "Work harder," the youth cheered to himself in the darkness. Light swirled around. Wu Hui walked to where the young boy had made his wish earlier. He cast his senses out and felt the unique power lingering here. The miniskirt was something he had created for that little boy. However... the female sailor outfit had indeed appeared out of thin air!

    Nobody and nothing had produced that outfit. Merely because of that little boy¡¯s wish, it had appeared out of thin air. Something had to be wrong here! Wu Hui had arrived chasing after that unique power. That was because this was not the first time something like this had happened. Previously, a certain person had wished for a certain video game. Indeed, the video game vendor had appeared. Ultimately, that person had smashed the video game vendor apart, as he¡¯d had no money to buy any of the video games sold. Simr urrences had happened several times already.

    "These things..."

    Wu Hui shut his eyes. Although that power had already vanished, when he had first arrived, there had still been some traces of it left in the air. He could clearly feel that a certain formidable power had appeared.

    Ancient race.

    Chen Feng arrived with Ba Gu and the rest.

    "You have finally arrived." Qin Hai was full of mncholy. It had been a long time since the both of them had been able to meet out in the open like this.

    "I have arrived." Chen Feng sighed endlessly as well. The both of them were simrly fighting for humanity. Each action of his was shrouded by boundless radiance and was seen by all, whereas Qin Hai had remained unknown, destined to walk this dangerous path all by his lonesome self. For the sake of humanity, it had truly been hard on Qin Hai.

    Ba Gu and the ancients looked at them with astonishment. "You two know each other?"

    "We once got in touch with each other." Chen Feng did not borate. "Now, let¡¯s focus on what we are here for."

    An ancient female walked forth after gently answering, "All right."

    Shua!

    The screen was turned on. This was a special edition designed specifically for the ancient race by Stormtech Co. Ltd. As both races blended together, these products had prated the daily lives of the ancient race as well. On the screen, the Land of Legacy, which had previously been full of majesty, was presently shrouded by a mysterious energy. Within a circumference of 50 kilometers, nothing could be seen, nothing could be sensed.

    "Have anyone been sent to enter?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Yes. None returned." Qin Hai sighed. "We even got someone to enter with a unique rope tied to them, yet the same thing happened. As long as one enters, one will vanishpletely. As for the rope..."

    Qin Hai got someone to bring the rope over. The rope appeared exceptionally firm, evidently built using extremely sturdy materials. Yet it was this very thing that had been cut off. Moreover, it appeared to be an extremely clean cut.

    "This was built using the tendons of some peak beyond A ss beasts. Even I can¡¯t cut it cleanly like this," Qin Hai exined solemnly. This was also why they did not dare to enter the Land of Legacy rashly.

    They weren¡¯t able to sense anything from that ce, but everything that had happened was sufficient to nt fear in them.

    Clean cut...

    Cut off from the outside world...

    Chen Feng gazed at the Land of Legacy and sank into contemtion. If Duma and the rest had truly died or gone missing, that would definitely be a good thing for humans. After all, the biggest threat to the fusion of both races was Duma and his apprentices. But now, Duma and his apprentices had vanished before they had even been able to voice their rejection, and this disappearance coincided with the visit of their president and Tianyu Liming.

    Why? Nobody knew the answer to that. What happened there, exactly? Nobody knew. This mystery was akin to a tornado¡ªa major crisis, yet so very attractive at the same time, causing one to be unable to resist approaching it.

    "Looks like I have to enter," Chen Feng said with a sharp gaze.

    Ba Gu stood up. "Chen Feng!" What joke was this? It was too dangerous. The present Chen Feng was the strongest human and the hope of humanity. If something happened to him in there...

    "I will go as well," Qin Hai said calmly. As Duma and the rest had vanished, the present strongest person among the ancient race was Qin Hai alone.

    "King."

    The harem¡ªno, the fellow ministers were all anxious.

    "Don¡¯t worry." Qin Hai shook his head. "The ancients and humans have alreadypleted the initial form of fusion. Even if the both of us vanished, a war would still not erupt."

    "But..."

    Everyone wanted to say something, but they couldn¡¯t say anything. There were things that had to be done. As the nominal strongest among the ancients and humans, Chen Feng and Qin Hai had the responsibility to do this.

    "Clear the surrounding area of all people." Qin Hai took a deep breath. "If Chen Feng and I do not return,bel this ce a forbidden area and ce it onplete lockdown."

    "The same goes for you all."

    Chen Feng nced at Ba Gu and the rest of the Gic Union. It wasn¡¯t easy for the rtionship of humans and ancients to have reached this level. Nobody wished for a mishap to happen now.

    "Wait at the outer region. Regardless of whether we can return or not, we hope that humans and ancients can remain safe," Chen Feng said calmly.

    Ba Gu nodded. "Yes."

    "Let¡¯s go."

    After saying what they needed to say, the both of them stepped into the Land of Legacy. Slowly, their figures vanished. Ba Gu and the rest watched on with their fists clenched tight. As for the ministers of the ancients, they were on the verge of crying. Nobody knew what would happen on this trip of theirs. They could only pray silently, hoping that all would be fine with Chen Feng and Qin Hai.

    At present, Chen Feng and Qin Hai were looking at the swirling light before them with astonishment. The moment they had stepped in, they had been shocked. The scenery here seemed to bepletely different from what they saw from the outside world. Here was a world filled with color.

    The sky was pink.

    The ground was pink.

    The trees were pink.

    The grass was pink.

    Even the energy pervading the air was pink.

    All this coupled with the pink horizon and clouds gave this Land of Legacy a rather fantastical feeling.

    Chen Feng looked at Qin Hai in amazement. "So it turns out that this is the style you guys prefer?"

    Qin Hai¡¯s expression darkened. "Scram!" You are the one who preferred this style. Your entire family preferred this style. Nobody knows how the Land of Legacy transformed into this .

    Chen Feng smiled. "Hehe."

    "Spirit, analyze the energy here for me," Chen Feng urged inwardly.

    "All right."

    Spirit started working. Although Luck Aura was in a dormant state, as an independent consciousness arisen from Luck Aura, Spirit was much more important to Chen Feng.

    "Analyzeplete. Mhm... no abnormalities found for now."

    Spirit found it weird. It was obvious that there were some problems here, what with the pink everywhere, yet the analysis showed that there were no problems. Regardless of whether it was the energy or the aura, all appeared normal.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes narrowed. "Interesting." It seemed like something unfathomable had indeed happened here.

    The two walked forth cautiously. Along the way, everything remained calm. No exceptions were found. Not even a single person was found.

    Chen Feng frowned. "Has everyone vanished?"

    "There weren¡¯t many people here in the first ce," Qin Hai exined in a low voice. "Only some apprentices were here. Subsequently, after their strength increased, they were all sent out to help the ancient race. Ultimately, the only ones left in here were us fellow apprentices and Master."

    Chen Feng contemted. "Is that so?" Right at this instant, a faint pink figure seemed to appear distantly. Chen Feng and Qin Hai gazed over, and instantly, their eyes shone as they shot in that direction.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. The two of them arrived instantly. However, when they arrived, they were instantly rmed as they finally got a clear look at that pink figure.

    That was...

    "President?" Chen Feng cried out in surprise. Qin Hai¡¯s eyes were wide open as well.

    President? Indeed. The president of Gic Union was the one who had appeared. They had only entered several minutes ago and had already been able to find who they were looking for. However, the president¡¯s current condition was truly rather astonishing.

    Chen Feng had always maintained a respectful attitude toward the president, as the president had been able to maintain his peak strength despite his advanced age. Despite his white hair, he had been able to maintain a majestic appearance. Yet now...

    "President!" Chen Feng shouted at him in joy. But the instant the president turned around, Chen Feng¡¯s eyes were almost blinded.

    Pink hair...

    Pink eyebrow...

    Pink skirt...

    "???"

    When all these appeared on the president¡¯s tall and sturdy figure, it truly was quite a sight.

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    This sight...

    Chen Feng was dumbstruck. He had always seen himself as a calm person, a person able to stand calm facing various crises, yet now he was truly dumbstruck.

    "Pr-president?" he asked cautiously.

    "Mhm?" The president raised his head, finally noticing Chen Feng. "Chen Feng?" he said gently.

    Chen Feng: "???" This tone of voice... "Yes, it¡¯s me." Chen Feng was somewhat terrified. Instinctively, he took a step back, as he felt that something was wrong.

    "It¡¯s good that you have arrived. Let me tell you something..." The president spoke in excitement, and mid-sentence, a pink radiance shed in his eyes and his gazended on Chen Feng. Killing intent erupted. "It¡¯s you!!!"

    Bang!

    An endless killing intent erupted.

    "Not good." Chen Feng sank into a solemn mood. It was lucky that he had been prepared for this and was able to dodge the attack.

    Bang!

    A pink building copsed from the attack.

    "Hmph!" The president snorted, leaped up, and mmed his foot down. Chen Feng looked upward at the president and his expression darkened at the "view" presented to him.

    Screw this pink miniskirt!

    Bang!

    Qin Hai charged over and blocked the attack for him.

    "Who is it?" he asked with a deep tone.

    A snort was his only reply. "Hmph!" The president nced at the both of them before fleeing, vanishing amid the pink energy pervading the air.

    "He left?" Chen Feng did not chase after him and instead sunk into contemtion. "He was able to call my name out. He should have recognized me." Chen Feng frowned. "The president¡¯s strength is still simr to before. This should be the real president. However, his form and mental state seem rather unstable."

    This was the scariest thing. How had the previously fine president turned into that? This ce...

    Chen Feng and Qin Hai exchanged nces, and both felt their hairs standing on end.

    "I have a question," Qin Hai stated after pondering the matter.

    "Say it," Chen Feng replied with a solemn expression.

    Qin Hai feigned a calm expression and asked, "Erm... is this the style you people of the Gic Union prefer?"

    Chen Feng gave him a re.

    Qin Haiughed madly. "Hahaha." This was indeed instant karma. Chen Feng had sneered at him earlier, and now, his chance of revenge had arrived.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng said, "Qin Hai, you have changed. The past you was not like this."

    "Scram!" Qin Hai replied without hesitation. The both sneered at each other for a while before once again sinking into silence.

    One, two, three!

    Swish!

    An intense killing intent bloomed from a certain corner as a pink figure appeared there. Chen Feng and Qin Hai exchanged nces as their eyes gleamed coldly. They had been waiting for this person toe out.

    Bang!

    A terrifying radiance erupted.

    Two pink figures descended from the sky. Both were simrly dressed and styled as the president earlier, tall and buff guys in shy pink miniskirts. Moreover, both of them were male. Chen Feng could remember clearly that there were not many males left in the ancient race, yet all of the remaining ones had seemingly gathered here.

    Qin Hai frowned. "It¡¯s you guys."

    Chen Feng gave him a nce. "You know them?"

    "The only two gatekeepers remaining in the Land of Legacy." Qin Hai shook his head. "These two were among the earlier ones to reach peak beyond A ss. As such, they hadn¡¯t relied on the beyond X gene reagent and were able to remain male."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He looked at the pink gatekeepers. They presently seemed even worse off than if they had directly transformed into females instead.

    The two spoke in feminine tones. "Those who enter the Land of Legacy without permission shall be killed!"

    Bang!

    A pink radiance erupted from them.

    Qin Hai¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Let me deal with them. I know them better. Let me be the one to face them."

    Bang!

    He took the initiative to move.

    "Fine." Chen Feng watched on by the side. Qin Hai¡¯s strength did not need to be doubted. He was a peak beyond A ss and the owner of the ck diamond. His strength was only second to the awakened Chen Feng. These two gatekeepers were supposed to be much weaker than Qin Hai, yet...

    Bang! Bang!

    After several shes, they seemed to be evenly matched. The two of them were actually able to match Qin Hai. Something had to be wrong with this.

    "It¡¯s the energy," Qin Hai said solemnly. "Their energy remained the same as in the past, and their auras are still the same as well. However, under the effect of this pink aura here, their strength has increased by tenfold."

    Tenfold!

    This was equivalent to going up an entire realm. These regr beyond-A-ss gatekeepers had be peak beyond A sses now thanks to this increase.

    Chen Feng pondered. "It is no wonder that the president was able to block my attack earlier." These people soaked in pink had seemingly be stronger.

    "Spirit, make a record of this aura," Chen Feng said inwardly.

    "Understood." Spirit started analyzing the aura.

    Qin Hai did not end the battle quickly. Rather, he dragged it out, as this was their best chance to observe this ce. These two gatekeepers weren¡¯t important, but this pink aura, on the other hand...

    Shua! Shua!

    As they shed, they were able to notice more things. Soon after, the two noticed that something wasn¡¯t right and unleashed their trump cards without any hesitation. Their trump cards erupted together with the pink energy.

    Bang!

    A punk radiance erupted.

    "I can¡¯t continue dragging this out."

    Before the two could detonate themselves, he defeated them cleanly.

    Hu!

    The two copsed instantly.

    "Still alive." Qin Hai sensed their auras. "Half the pink energy is gone from their bodies. At present, they are semi-unconscious. If we want them to recover their consciousness..."

    He stared ahead. They would have to first deal with the source of the mystical pink energy before they could solve this.

    "Following the trace of the pink aura in ordance to the intensity of the color...the source of the pink energy might be at the very center of the Land of Legacy, the ce where Master resides. It seems like this incident might be rted to Master after all." Qin Hai had a solemn expression.

    Duma... Chen Feng raised an eyebrow. Pink...

    Could all this have happened merely because this old man had had a sudden interest in dressing up as a woman?

    "Even if you don¡¯t say anything, I know what you are thinking." Qin Hai red at him. "The truth is definitely not as you think."

    "..." Chen Feng chuckled, "Let¡¯s go the center and take a look, then. I am very curious myself. What exactly is it that is capable of transforming the Land of Legacy into Miracle Nikki..."

    Qin Hai nked. "What Miracle Nikki?"

    "A female dress-up game. I feel like this game is suitable for you guys from the Land of Legacy," Chen Feng exined with a smile.

    "Scram!" Qin Hai spat.

    "I¡¯m telling the truth. Do you want to give it a try?" Chen Feng proposed earnestly.

    "Hehe." Qin Hai sneered. The two berated each other as they headed to the center. Soon, their figures vanished amid the pink. Not long after they had left...

    Shua!

    A pink figure appeared in midair. The figure red at the departing backs of Chen Feng and Qin Hai, hatred filling her eyes.

    "Hehe... You guys... will most definitely die here."

    Chapter 624: The Awkward Major Ability

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At present, Qin Hai and Chen Feng, who were berating each other as they walked, exchanged nces as regret shed in their eyes. So the enemy hadn¡¯t taken the bait? They had already sensed that someone was hidden somewhere. As such, they were pretending to have cked their vignce in order to lure that person out. Unexpectedly, the opponent hadn¡¯t fallen for it.

    Chen Feng appeared regretful. "Seems like the same method can¡¯t be used twice."

    Qin Hai nodded. "Yeah." The both continued forth. They were still in the outeryer of the Land of Legacy. Apart from the two gatekeepers and the rming president, they hadn¡¯t encountered anyone else.

    Qin Hai pointed into the distance. "The center will be further inside. All the resources here are extremely valuable. Each time Master epts an apprentice, a residence is built nearby."

    Chen Feng contemted. "So that¡¯s the case." The both of them walked along the avenue. What they saw first was a tall house. It was a pink house, yet the design was rather modern.

    The corner of Chen Feng¡¯s mouth crept up. "This..."

    "Mine," Qin Hai answered with a darkened expression. He had never expected that the house he had designed so nicely would look like this after turning pink. This truly caused him to be speechless. He nced inside and noticed that everything in the house was also pink now. The tables, the chairs... even the robot cleaner he had brought here not long ago had turned pink.

    Qin Hai shook his head. "Seems like there¡¯s no need to enter."

    "It¡¯s not as simple as a change of color," Chen Feng stated calmly. He could sense that this pink power hadn¡¯t only dyed the items pink. Rather, it had alsopletely altered the items themselves. Not only the color, the texture...

    "Ka!"

    Qin Hai grabbed at a pink stool to break it down. That feeling in his hand...

    "Let me try sensing it." Qin Hai shut his eyes. "After this thing became pink, it indeed became more powerful."

    Just as he finished his sentence...

    Bang!

    Chen Feng kicked at the pink door of Qin Hai¡¯s house.

    ng!

    The door was instantly smashed apart.

    "???" Qin Hai was dumbstruck. "What are you doing?"

    Chen Feng stated his agreement with Qin Hai¡¯s statement. "It indeed became firmer." From the impact of his kick, he had been able to feel that this pink door had be much stronger than the original materials used to make it.

    "...!"

    Qin Hai was speechless. At present, he felt like chopping this fellow down.

    "Let¡¯s go."

    Qin Hai brought Chen Feng away with an unsightly expression.

    Qin Hai was familiar with the road within the Land of Legacy. As such, they headed straight toward the center. Naturally, they would pass by the domains of his various fellow apprentice brothers along the way. These buildings had been built much earlier, and as such, they all had a totally different style of architecture.

    Of course, none of the so-called "style" could be seen now, as nothing but pink remained. Soon after, they passed through a manor. This was the residence of Qin Hai¡¯s Senior Zhang, owner of the blue diamond. ording to Qin Hai, his senior did not enjoy living in high ces. As such, this was a single-floor manor. It was rather low, but its dimensions were very huge.

    Qin Hai searched around as he exined, "I remember that within is a route that leads directly to the center."

    This was what the senior with the blue diamond was good at. Back then, the Mysterious Organization¡¯s underground transportation tunnels had also been set up by this senior. As such, it was natural for him to have something simr built here.

    Qin Hai found the familiar door amid the pink. "Here. This route heads straight to the center," Qin Hai said with excitement.

    "All right." Chen Feng walked over and was about to push the door open. Suddenly, a bone-piercing cold aura spread from below his crotch.

    This...

    Swish!

    Chen Feng leaped abruptly.

    Bang!

    The ground, which had been perfectly fine previously, copsed as a shiny silhouette of light shot up from the ground before entering the clouds directly. With a single look, Chen Feng¡¯s body chilled. If he hadn¡¯t dodged that thing...

    "Who is it?" Qin Hai shouted.

    Bang!

    He attacked directly, yet his attack was dodged by that silhouette of light, which shot back into the ground and vanished directly. In this world of pink... no other person was capable of moving in such a manner.

    Qin Hai frowned. "This movement..."

    Chen Feng looked at him. "You know him?"

    "I did not get a good look at his face, but I can guess who he is." Qin Hai sighed. "Such a method of attack at this ce, only a single person can do it. My mysterious Senior Zhang."

    Bang!

    The ground trembled. Dragging Chen Feng with him, Qin Hai leaped and avoided the attack. From the ground, a pink sh streaked past.

    "Stop!" Qin Hai tried to suppress the pink sh but failed.

    Qin Hai frowned. "He has be stronger."

    This senior apprentice brother, who had previously possessed strength simr to Qin Hai¡¯s, had be much stronger under the effect of the pink aura. Now, Qin Hai was not his match.

    Chen Feng smiled. "Your blue-diamond senior?"

    "...I guess so." Qin Hai did not correct him. "This senior of mine isn¡¯t too strongbat-wise. However, his concealment abilities are unequaled. He is able to appear and vanish at will and is incredibly hard to guard against. If we can¡¯t locate him, we will probably be exhausted to death here," Qin Hai said with an ugly expression. This was the most troublesome thing about this senior.

    "Blue diamond..." Chen Feng shut his eyes and recalled what he had seen when he¡¯d gone undercover at the Mysterious Organization back then. "In short, this senior of yours is using spatial-rted abilities?"

    Qin Hai spoke after giving it some thought. "I suppose. It should be some advanced method of spatial maniption. Why?"

    He appeared doubtful. After all, the type of abilities this senior used did not seem rted to their current predicament.

    Chen Feng smiled. "Hehe, if it¡¯s spatial, this is much easier to deal with." Despite his shallow understanding of his awakened power, if this adorable blue diamond specialized in spatial abilities...

    Swish!

    A pink radiance shot up from below, aiming straight at his crotch. Evidently, the blue diamond fellow was extremely skilled at attacking that part of the human body.

    "Dodge!"

    Qin Hai prepared to dodge the attack as he pulled at Chen Feng. Yet this time, Chen Feng did not even bother avoiding the attack. With a sneer, he nced at the surging pink before pointing forth with his finger lightly.

    "Disintegrate!"

    Bang!

    Instantly, the surging pink energy disintegrated. That seemingly boundless radiance transformed into countless light particles before the dot of light released by Chen Feng¡¯s finger. In a span of several seconds, it vanished entirely. Only a pink head was left swaying about on the ground.

    Qin Hai was astonished. "Senior Zhang!"

    "??!"

    Senior Zhang¡¯s head stopped swaying and he looked at Chen Feng in horror. He had evidently not expected that his ability would be forcibly stopped. How was this possible?

    "Witness me..."

    Once again, a pink radiance converged in his hands.

    Chen Feng pointed. "Disintegrate!"

    Shua!

    Instantly, the energy vanishedpletely.

    "???" Senior Zhang was dumbstruck. His eyes gleamed coldly as he attempted to activate his ability again and again, yet every time, it was spoiled by Chen Feng. And thus, what one could see was merely Senior Zhang shouting ferociously¡ªno pink energy could be seen.

    "Coiling Ground Dragon! Venomous Dragon Drill! Bubbling Earth! Spatial Transportation!"

    Senior Zhang assumed numerous poses, yet not a single one of his abilities could be activated.

    This...

    Qin Hai¡¯s expression darkened, as at this moment, witnessing this sight of his Senior Zhang, he suddenly recalled the wondrous series Chen Feng had once told him of, Dancing Baby.[1] 1

 Chapter 625: Mysterious Existence

    Chapter 625: Mysterious Existence

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Are these poses not awkward without the apanying special effects?" Chen Feng asked with a faint smile. When he was shrouded by the pink aura as he activated his ability, he would appear so very mystical and iparably tyrannical, but now, with his energy being destroyed, he appeared rather awkward.

    Senior Zhang¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Hmph! Trash," he muttered to himself, though it wasn¡¯t clear whether he was talking about Chen Feng or himself.

    Bang!

    Suddenly, he ignited himself with a dense pink me.

    "This..." Qin Hai¡¯s expression changed greatly. "This is bad. He is burning his life force."

    "Mhm?" Chen Feng¡¯s expression became solemn. Burning his life force? This fellow...

    "Senior, it¡¯s me. Do you not recognize me anymore?" Qin Hai tried awakening his senior. And yet...

    Senior Zhang merely shouted coldly with hatred in his eyes. "Scram!"

    "He is not your senior." Chen Feng shook his head. "To be precise, his state of mind is currently being controlled by a certain power, simr to the president. It is pointless to trymunicating with them when they are like this."

    He had long seen through this. As such, they had to avoid touching anything pink here. Here, pink signified danger.

    Qin Hai had an unsightly expression. "What do we do, then?" Senior Zhang had cared for him greatly in the past. He did not wish to see Senior Zhang die this way, dying with an unclear mind by burning his own life force away.

    Chen Feng took a deep breath. "Let me give it a try."

    Perhaps...

    Bang!

    A berserk power erupted from Senior Zhang¡¯s body. The pink me increased in intensity. Senior Zhang¡¯s life force was being burned away.

    "Hehe." He gave off a bizarreugh as his gaze was fixed on Chen Feng. The berserk pink energy converged without stop, forming a powerful and dreadful pink beam.

    "I shall..."

    Bang!

    He pointed midair. Suddenly, the pink surged toward Chen Feng. Yet before he could even finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Chen Feng, whopleted the sentence for him."

    "End you!" Chen Feng shouted heroically.

    Swish!

    A silhouette shed out of his body. Spirit appeared and, with a shiny red sword, shed downward with a powerful force. Instantly, the boundless pink was torn apart.

    Swoosh!

    All the pink vanished.

    "You..." Senior Zhang trembled as his eyes rolled up and his body copsed weekly to the ground.

    "Senior." Qin Hai rushed over. "He has lost consciousness from energy exhaustion."

    Qin Hai shook his head. This senior¡¯s situation resembled the few people they had encountered earlier. All of the energy within them, including the pink energy, had been fully exhausted, resulting in them losing consciousness.

    "Mhm." Chen Feng was somewhat absent minded. The "end you" he had shouted earlier had merely been something he had shouted randomly. After all, in fights, shouting these things could only serve to disturb the opponents as far as he was concerned. After all, shouting that was much better than shouting "those who dress up in my female outfits shall be eliminated".[1] 1

    Naturally, all this was not important. What Chen Feng cared about was the final expression on Senior Zhang¡¯s face before he had lost his consciousness. This was not as obvious as the expression of that devil expert Chen Feng had defeated previously. At that time, numerous expressions such as shock, disbelief, and adoration had appeared. Chen Feng was still confused about all those. Yet this time, from this Senior Zhang¡¯s expression, dread had been seen. That¡¯s right, dread!

    The dread was not something Senior Zhang had felt. Rather, it was the pink energy, not a feeling let off by any specific consciousness. Instead, it was the pure fear exhibited by the pink energy toward Chen Feng¡¯s energy. This was rather astonishing.

    "Misconception?"

    Chen Feng rubbed his head. He did not believe that the present him would still see things wrongly. As such, this pink energy was truly capable of emotions? This Senior Zhang¡¯s energy was spatial energy, and it was this energy that the pink energy hadbined with. Since Chen Feng¡¯s energy had countered them, it was natural for them to feel fear. But then, this was something inconceivable.

    "If that¡¯s true..."

    Chen Feng was able to form an initial conjecture as to what had happened here. An unforeseen event had happened here, not initiated by any person but rather by some power instead? Or perhaps a certain formidable power had formed its own consciousness? This was what Chen Feng guessed.

    After discussing with Qin Hai, Qin Hai agreed with this conjecture as well. He put Senior Zhang down and walked forth to open the door. Yet regretfully, the inside was empty apart from boundless pink.

    "Seems like the transportation system has been destroyed as well." Qin Hai appeared regretful.

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. "Even if it hadn¡¯t been destroyed, I wouldn¡¯t dare to use it anyway."

    Qin Hai gave it some thought and agreed. Even if the transportation system was fine, would they dare use it?

    "Let¡¯s continue walking, then."

    Qin Haiughed bitterly and they both continued walking forth. After the appearance of this Senior Zhang, they were even more careful now, especially when passing through the residences of Qin Hai¡¯s other apprentice brothers.

    Surprisingly, no new enemies appeared. Those apprentice brothers of Qin Hai had seemingly vanished¡ªnot a single one of them appeared. Chen Feng pondered. The world of pink was terrifyingly quiet. Had that thing been scared off?

    The memory of the dread exhibited by the pink energy was still fresh in his mind. And with the subsequent absence of Qin Hai¡¯s other apprentice brothers, his conjecture was seemingly proven.

    "Although I don¡¯t know what that thing is, it must have been scared off," Chen Feng guessed.

    "Or perhaps..." Qin Hai added, "it feels like it isn¡¯t a match for you even afterbining with my apprentice brothers. As such, it has given up on that to avoid additional losses."

    Chen Feng nodded. "That¡¯s possible." In a few words, the two of them were able to get the general gist of the situation. As such, that energy was keeping a low profile after seemingly noticing how difficult Chen Feng was to deal with. It decided to stop wasting any energy and to save it until it counted. It was presently preparing something even more terrifying...

    "Look."

    Qin Hai pointed at a room nearby. There, another apprentice brother of Qin Hai¡¯s could be seen. He was simrly shrouded in pink. However, the present him was already fully exhausted of energy and was unconscious.

    "He lost his strength."

    Chen Feng was able to see it clearly with a single nce. It seemed like Qin Hai¡¯s guess was correct. The pink energy was indeed holding back and saving up its power for something else.

    "Ignore him."

    They only gave the apprentice brother a nce and did not approach him. After all, things might be even safer for this apprentice brother now that the pink energy within him was fully exhausted. However...

    "We need to be extra careful," Chen Feng reminded Qin Hai.

    "Understood." Qin Hai was simrly prudent as well. The presence of intelligence had made this pink energy even scarier. For it to deliberately give up on several fellows who it felt to not be Chen Feng¡¯s match, it definitely had to be preparing something even more terrifying.

    One, two, three...

    They looked at the buildings all around them, their scalps feeling numb.

    "What exactly is this pink energy trying to do?"

    They were getting nearer to the center. Just as they concluded that this pink energy was probably nning to have a single decisive battle with them at the center, suddenly, the entire world started flickering, darkening before brightening up without stop. The pink radiance flickered, akin to a breathingmp. Far away, a pink figure appeared. On the head of that figure was a white hat that appeared so very dazzling.

    "White hat..." Qin Hai¡¯s pupils shrunk. "Even Senior Mu has fallen!"

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Senior Mu. This a person had a unique identity and ability. If there were anyone in the Land of Legacy that was immune to the pink energy, it would most certainly be him. Qin Hai had never expected that even Senior Mu would fall to it.

    "Be careful," Qin Hai reminded Chen Feng.

    "I know." Chen Feng gazed ahead. He was aware of how terrifying this senior¡¯s ability was¡ªor rather, how peculiar it was.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint pink aura shed past. The hat on Senior Mu¡¯s head slowly changed color, bing pink. Next, an aura that caused one¡¯s will to shake gushed out, silently entering their brains.

    "Submit... my child..."

    The hoarse voice resounded by their ears and echoed within their mind. A momentary nkness appeared in the eyes of Chen Feng and Qin Hai. As the voice echoed without stop, they started feeling sleepy.

    This won¡¯t do!

    Chen Feng gritted his teeth and tried holding on, to the point that his gums started bleeding. He could not allow himself to fall asleep. The moment he fell asleep... he would be a puppet of this fellow.

    I must stay awake! Chen Feng roared inwardly. Yet the sleepy feeling became stronger and stronger, seemingly unstoppable even with his S-ss strength.

    Beng! Beng! Beng!

    Chen Feng pointed at the empty air three times. He tried to destroy this power in the same fashion he had destroyed the spatial ability earlier. s, this force wasing to him from all directions like a wave. Chen Feng was able to only destroy the small portion of it that was in front of him. He was incapable of blocking the entirety of this force.

    "Damn it."

    Chen Feng had an ominous feeling. This Master Mu had already been a peak beyond A ss in the past. Now that he had fused with the pink energy, he was already at the doorstep of the awakened realm. Chen Feng had no way of stopping his attack. Moreover, the awakened ability he knew of was ineffective against these soft attacks.

    This is getting troublesome...

    Chen Feng felt his eyelids getting heavier.

    His gaze blurry, he looked at Qin Hai. Qin Hai had a fierce expression on his face, evidently struggling against the brainwashing as well. They would need something, something capable of waking them up from this state of mind.

    I need some provocation!

    Chen Feng pondered with the final speck of consciousness he had. The present him required something exciting, something thrilling, to wake him up from this.

    Fast! Fast! Fast!

    His drowsiness was getting heavier, to the point that it was almost unbearable. He needed an intense provocation to wake himself up.

    Thrill...

    Excitement...

    Wang Yao?

    The first person he thought of was Wang Yao, yet he found that his drowsiness increased further. This won¡¯t do. What about horror movies?

    Shua!

    Chen Feng got Xiao Ying to rey the horror movies he had watched within his brain. With Xiao Ying¡¯s present strength, it was not a problem to rey a horror movie with the exact special effects and sounds. Yet with Chen Feng¡¯s present strength, this horror movie wasn¡¯t even able to bring any changes to Chen Feng¡¯s emotions when watching it.

    What stupid movie! Why was there nothing thrilling in it? Chen Feng tried getting Xiao Ying to rey a porno, yet it still failed to work. Chen Feng nced at Qin Hai. That fellow was no longer able to keep his eyes open. If this continued, Qin Hai would soon fall under Master Mu¡¯s control. And next, it would be Chen Feng¡¯s turn.

    "Damn it!"

    Chen Feng wanted to clench his fists tightly, yet he noticed that he couldn¡¯t exert any strength, as his fists were no longer taking hismands. At present, the amount of his strength he could control was decreasing without stop.

    The drowsiness increased without stop.

    Movies?

    Comedies?

    Music?

    Chen Feng got Xiao Ying to rey anything that should be able to bring him some excitement or thrill yet nothing worked. Rather, his drowsiness increased.

    Am I out of ways out of this?

    Chen Feng¡¯s train of thought was on the verge of aplete stop. At this moment, he handed everything in his brain to Xiao Ying and Spirit so they could think of something for him, as he was already incapable of thinking and was only able to watch on helplessly as the sense of drowsiness overcame him. Right at this instant, an immensely loud voice resounded:

    "Wake up!"

    "All who do not wish to be a ve! Use your flesh and build us a new Great Wall!"[1]

    ...

    Hiss.

    Instantly, Chen Feng regained a degree of consciousness. What a familiar melody! Back when he had still been a student, this had been his rm in the morning! Because of that, he had almost been beaten to death by his roommate! This familiar melody had seemingly returned Chen Feng to his previous life, his life as a student... Mhm... Those cute female ssmates...

    Suddenly, a wave of drowsiness attacked him.

    The newly gained consciousness started fading as his drowsiness intensified.

    "..."

    Spirit and Xiao Ying exchanged nces, appearing to be at a loss. What should they do now?

    "Hold on." Spirit started analyzing everything she had seen. Based on the degree of provocation these things had brought Chen Feng, she selected the one with the most intense provocation.

    "Hopefully, I will be correct this time." She took in a deep breath. "Xiao Ying, y it. We don¡¯t have much time left. This time, y it directly to the outside world at maximum volume so even Qin Hai can hear it as well."

    Swish!

    Xiao Ying streaked out hastily.

    At this time, both Qin Hai and Chen Feng were on the verge of falling under the enemy¡¯s control. Suddenly, a maic melody resounded.

    "Zhejiang Wenzhou!"

    "Zhejiang Wenzhou!"

    "Thergest tannery, Jiangnan Tannery, has gone bankrupt!"

    "The bastard boss Huang He, dining, whining, whoring, and gambling. Incurred a debt of 350 million and fled with his mistress! Out of choices, we used the produced wallets to substitute for our pay. The original prices were 100-odd yuan, 200-odd yuan, 300-odd yuan, all sold at 20 yuan! All 20 yuan! Huang He, you bastard, you are not human! We have worked hard for you for half a year yet have received no sry! Pay us our hard-earned money, pay us our hard-earned money!"[2]

    ...

    Qin Hai was rmed. This maic melody, these wondrous lyrics, was seemingly describing a story where love and hate interwove. The song was so moving one could cry, the story told so very heart-rending...

    At this moment, Qin Hai seemingly saw a scene where an earnest youth worked hard for a great tannery. He entered Wenzhou just to approach his beloved woman yet was unfortunate enough to only be able to take her older sister as his wife instead...

    Chen Feng was rmed as well. However, he was way too familiar with this song. So familiar was he that it only provoked him slightly and was insufficient to wake him. As for Qin Hai, under the effect of the pink and white energy, he had seemingly immersed himself fully into the world of the song...

    Wanting to regain consciousness with a single song? How was that possible?

    The white hat shone radiantly, bringing them into an illusory dream. Chen Feng and Qin Hai were both engrossed in some sort of dream-like state, yet at this moment, the maic song continued, yet the lyrics were changed.

    "Gene Production Association!

    "Gene Production Association!

    "Went bankrupt!

    "Bastard boss, Chen Feng, incurred a debt of 350 million, eloped with Xu Fei! Out of choices, we have to use Xiao Rou to repay the debt..."

    ...

    ?!

    "Hiss¡ª"

    After taking a deep breath, Chen Feng woke up instantly.

    "???"

    Qin Hai shivered and woke up as well.

    Shua!

    The both of them regained consciousness immediately, as if cold water had exploded right inside their brains.

    What the f*ck?

    This was the first reaction of both of them.

    The maic song continued, "Chen Feng, the bastard, you are not human. We have worked hard..."

    "Spirit!" Chen Feng howled and interrupted her.

    "Huh? You¡¯re awake?" Spirit was overjoyed.

    "I want to know why did I have to elope with Xu Fei? Even if it was so the lyrics could rhyme, you should have made me elope with Xiao Rou instead, right?" Chen Feng couldn¡¯t understand the logic of this. Why in the world would he elope with Xu Fei, a male? Qin Hai was simrly dumbstruck. He was aware that this music was the work of Chen Feng. As such, could he conclude that these were Chen Feng¡¯s inner thoughts? Holy shit, what in the world was Chen Feng thinking on a daily basis?

    "Contrast." Spirit smiled. "Only extreme contrast could wake the both of you up."

    "Oh." With this exnation, Chen Feng was satisfied. That¡¯s right. If he was going to elope, it should be a woman instead. How could it be possible for his innermost thought to be such gay thoughts?

    Seems like I am still straight. Chen Feng was pleased. Hold on...

    By the side, Qin Hai recalled something. What the hell, how could forget the fact that the lyrics had used Xiao Rou as a means of repaying the debt, yet now, Chen Feng was even thinking of eloping with her? How could he?

    Qin Hai red at Chen Feng grudgingly. "Chen Feng, don¡¯t you think that you need to exin something to me?"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. The pink and white radiance bloomed, instantly attracting the attention of both Chen Feng and Qin Hai. Distantly, that pink and white hat gradually appeared, revealing the main body of Senior Mu.

    "You were actually able to escape my ability?" Senior Mu was astonished. He seemed to have heard some maic melody earlier. That thing... "Curing ills with poison?" Senior Mu understood clearly. "However, if you guys believe that this is sufficient to withstand me, you guys are truly naive. Let me show you guys my supreme special ability..."

    Shua!

    An intoxicating power appeared. Under normal circumstances, this level of power would be sufficient to cause Chen Feng and Qin Hai or anyone else at their level to fall asleep. But now...

    "Special my ass." Qin Hai, who had yet to recover from his anger, erupted, shing at Senior Mu. By the side, Chen Feng erupted as well. Earlier, he had still been thinking of a way to exin the matter pertaining to Xiao Rou. Now that this Senior Mu had interrupted them, he was overjoyed and directly followed after Qin Hai and erupted with a formidable power.

    Drowsiness? It no longer existed.

    Senior Mu, who was unleashing his ability, was dumbstruck. How was this possible? The both of them had obviously been affected by his ability earlier, so why were theypletely fine now? Moreover, he had obviously activated an even stronger ability this time...

    Bang! Bang!

    A terrifying power erupted.

    Pu!

    A cold radiance shed. Countless bloody scars appeared on Senior Mu¡¯s body.

    Bang! Bang!

    Pushing Senior Mu down to the ground, Qin Hai started beating him up. This Senior Mu was nearly unequaled when it came to mind control. Even Chen Feng had nearly fallen under his control. Correspondingly, Senior Mu¡¯s meleebat capability was... nonexistent.

    Thump! Thump!

    Qin Hai vented his anger, beating Senior Mu up in a certain corner.

    "I am the grand White..."

    "White my ass." Qin Hai punched Senior Mu¡¯s nose, blood sshed around.

    "I am the noble Mu..."

    Thump!

    Qin Hai¡¯s punchnded on Senior Mu¡¯s face.

    "You lowly..."

    Thump!

    Finally, Qin Hainded a kick on Senior Mu¡¯s belly, kicking the noble Master Mu into the shape of a bow. The pink energy on his body faded and ultimately disappeared.

    Plop!

    His body copsed to the ground powerlessly.

    Shua!

    The pink and white energy around them instantly vanished.

    It¡¯s over!

    "The pink energy has retreated..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. At present, he was already able to see through some things. The pink energy here indeed had a consciousness and was seemingly capable of affecting the people here and controlling their minds.

    In short, this pink things is what¡¯s creating trouble here? guessed Chen Feng. However, he had a faint feeling that things were not that simple either.

    Chen Feng told Qin Hai what he had deduced. "This should be the case."

    "So..." Qin Hai was silent for a short moment before he continued, "What¡¯s up with Xiao Rou?"

    "??!" Chen Feng¡¯s expression darkened. "She¡¯s fine! I haven¡¯t eloped with her either. The Gene Production Association hasn¡¯t gone bankrupt either," Chen Feng stated grudgingly. This fellow was still immersed in the tannery song?

    "But the lyrics..." Qin Hai muttered as he subconsciously recalled the lyrics.

    "Gene Production Association!"

    "Gene Production Association!"

    "Went bankrupt!"

    "Bastard boss Chen Feng incurred a debt of 350 million and eloped with Xu Fei! Out of choices, we had to use Xiao Rou to repay the debt..."

    ...

    "???" Chen Feng wiped his sweat. "How many interpretations have you drawn from this song?"

    Qin Hai: "..."

    This melody was truly too demonic.

    Qin Hai gave Chen Feng a deep nce. "This song must never be spread."

    Chen Feng pondered and agreed. The hell, if this song was spread out, it would most probably go viral instantly. And next, everyone would be finished. Chen Feng and Xiao Rou would be finished...Xu Fei... oh, no, this guy would probably be the one to profit.

    "I know."

    Chen Feng was all too clear how easy it would be for this song to go viral. This thing could absolutely not be spread to the outside world.

    "Let¡¯s go."

    As the two rearranged their thoughts and finished their preparations, they continued forward.

    After passing through Senior Mu¡¯s residence, they passed through several other residences, but surprisingly, these ces were devoid of people.

    "None of my senior apprentice brothers are around..." Qin Hai said with a solemn expression.

    Chen Feng was surprised. "They have not fallen to the enemy¡¯s control?"

    "Either they left right before something happened here, or..." Qin Hai shook his head as a terrifying idea sparked on his mind. "They sensed that they are not our opponent and stoppeding out one after another to deliver themselves on a tter to us. Rather... they have now formed a group to deal with us."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. True. If this pink energy had a consciousness of its own, something like forming a group... was quite possible.

    Indeed. In their remaining journey, not a single person was seen. Even when they neared the center, nobody else appeared. Only a boundless pink could be seen. Qin Hai and Chen Feng increased their vignce. This situation...

    "Still nobody?" Qin Hai had a bad feeling.

    Chen Feng frowned. "Wait." He gave it some thought and decided to send Xiao Ying out to scout ahead of them.

    Shua!

    The red shed out. Xiao Ying transformed into nothingness and vanished. With the speed of light, Xiao Ying traversed the entire world of pink. Apart from the center, which he couldn¡¯t enter, all the other areas were explored. Not a single enemy was located.

    Chen Feng raised an eyebrow. "Nobody?"

    Swish!

    Xiao Ying reyed the scenes he had seen. The only thing he had found was those they had defeated earlier.

    Chen Feng was now sure. "It seems like they are all hiding at the center."

    Qin Hai nodded with a solemn expression. "That¡¯s possible."

    It would still have been fine if they had appeared one after another, but when they were all grouped together, things could be truly terrifying. The both of them continued forth. They braced themselves for a decisive battle, yet just as they reached their final destination, a silhouette of light shed by suddenly.

    "Careful!"

    They were instantly on alert.

    Shua! Shua!

    Numerous pink silhouettes appeared.

    "My fellow apprentice brothers, and also...": Qin Hai looked at them and was instantly rmed. "President and Tianyu Liming."

    Chen Feng followed his gaze and looked over. Every person in the Land of Legacy had appeared together here, right before the center of the Land of Legacy.

    "All appeared..." Qin Hai muttered in a low voice. He was clear on the actual amount of people residing here.

    "Is that so?" Chen Feng looked around with a sharp gaze. Xiao Ying had actually failed to notice their existence. Where had these fellows appeared from? Were they here to stop Chen Feng and Qin Hai from stepping into the center? What was happening within the center?

    Bang!

    The president¡¯s sturdy figure blocked Chen Feng¡¯s line of sight. If the pink clothes, pink miniskirt, and pink body hair on him were ignored...

    Chen Feng was truly curious. With his eyebrow and body hair all dyed pink, what about the hairs at that specific part of his body?

    Mhm...

    The sight he pictured caused him to be speechless.

    Swish! Swish!

    Several silhouettes flickered, and next, Qin Hai¡¯s fellow apprentice brothers appeared around them, trying to block their advance.

    Chen Fengughed. "Interesting." With Tianyu Liming and the president as the main vanguard and four of Qin Hai¡¯s apprentice brothers as support, they were sealing all of Chen Feng and Qin Hai¡¯s escape routes from this ce?

    Qin Hai sneered. "Looks like we have been surrounded." He was clear on the strength of these apprentice brothers of his. Although they were very powerfulpared to ordinary people, they were still the weaker ones among all the apprentices. Perhaps the pink energy was able to sense this as well and had thus grouped them together?

    "Show us, then, how strong these apprentice brothers of yours are after fusing with the pink." Chen Feng¡¯s eyes became sharp.

    Bang!

    A bright radiance erupted. Chen Feng had actually taken the initiative to attack!

 Chapter 628: Meet Duma

    Chapter 628: Meet Duma

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Gic Union.

    The deputy president was reading thetest update with a solemn expression. This was the information the Research Agency had obtained from the ancient Land of Legacy. The information was rather blurry, yet the verdict pointed to something dreadful.

    "That Duma is actually..." Fear appeared on the deputy president¡¯s face as he suddenly asked, "How long ago did they leave?"

    "Half a day."

    "...Got it." The deputy president sighed. Anyone who entered the Land of Legacy would lose contact with the outside world. New information was obtained, yet they had no way of transmitting it to Chen Feng.

    "What should we do?" The assistant was anxious. If something happened to Chen Feng and the president in there...

    "Trust him." The deputy president forced himself to calm down. "This child, Chen Feng, has created so many miracles throughout his rise. I believe he will be sessful this time as well. After all, he is humanity¡¯s sole S ss. Even if this guy is his opponent..."

    He flipped open the information in his hand. There, a picture of a huge life-form could be seen, and by the right side of that life-form was detailed introduction on that life0form.

    "Chen Feng... Both you and the president must return alive," the deputy president muttered.

    ...

    At present, in the distant Land of Legacy, Chen Feng and Qin Hai were engaged in a huge battle against the president and the rest. These opponents were very powerful. Regardless of whether it was the president, Tianyu Liming, or Qin Hai¡¯s apprentice brothers, they had originally been peak beyond A sses. After fusing with the pink power, their strength had increased dramatically. s, it was a pity that regardless of how strong they got, they were still not S sses, not awakened.

    Chen Feng pointed midair. "Destroy!"

    A formidable power of disintegration bloomed, instantly destroying all abilities. This was his present strength. Even though when facing an opponent of his level, only spatial abilities could be destroyed in this fashion, these lower-level abilities used here were in apletely different league than him. A power below the awakened realm was too weak next to him.

    Chen Feng hovered up. "Let this end."

    Bang!

    A terrifying power erupted. By himself, he faced everyone yet was still able to maintain absolute superiority. Apart from peculiar abilities like what Master Mu had, he did not fear these people.

    Bang! Bang!

    Once again, the battle escted. Qin Hai was thinking of giving him a hand, yet with astonishment, he found that there was no need for his assistance. The present Chen Feng was too powerful.

    The president and the rest were all peak beyond A sses. Coupled with the power of pink that they had fused with, they were already pseudo S sses. Therefore, their strength was not something one could underestimate. Yet Chen Feng...

    With a single punch!

    Bang!

    The president was flung away.

    Regardless of what attack he faced, what ability he faced, or how strong the attack was, before Chen Feng, nothing could escape that single fist of his. His fist appeared extremely normal, yet every single punch brought about an astonishing effect.

    Qin Hai was shocked. "Is this the power of an awakened?" But then, how was this possible? Chen Feng, who had almost fallen under Master Mu¡¯s control earlier, was so powerful now? One ought to know that the strength of all these peoplebined was much greater than that of Senior Mu earlier.

    Bang! Bang!

    The battle ended shortly after. By the time Chen Feng stopped, the president and the rest were already lying on the ground. From the start, Chen Feng hadn¡¯t used many abilities or technique as he had delivered them a one-sided beating.

    Qin Hai sighed. "Awakened..." He had still underestimated this realm after all.

    Chen Fengughed heartily. "Back then, before I gained an understanding of how to control awakened power, I received quite a lot of beatings as well. Now that I have grasped a certain level of control over the awakened power, it is natural that it¡¯s my turn to beat others up." This was what one could call suppression from a higher realm. Even those pseudo-awakened ones were still unable to use the awakened power, simr to the previous Chen Feng who had been clueless in terms of how to control awakened power.

    As such, facing Chen Feng, these people here were simply delivering themselves to Chen Feng on a silver tter. The awakened power Chen Feng hadprehended was sufficient to disintegrate all their abilities, rendering everything ineffective. The premise for this was that the attacks first had to have some weakness he could exploit. As long as it was a traditional attack, regardless of whether it was a spatial attack, elemental attack, or some other ability, anything Chen Feng could actually see, he had no fear of facing it with brute force alone.

    His present power of disintegration, the power he had gained by bing an awakened, was something that gave him confidence even when facing people at his level. What Chen Feng feared most were those abilities that couldn¡¯t be seen, those with no actual form or shape. Facing those abilities, even if it was unleashed by someone of a lower realm, it might still pose him a threat. An example was the ability of that Senior Mu.

    That Senior Mu was obviously a mere peak beyond A ss, yet with his white diamond and the pink energy, the unleashed power had nearly caused Chen Feng to fall.

    "You shouldn¡¯t have any other apprentice brothers with those abilities, right?" he asked.

    "Nope." Qin Hai shook his head and looked at the copsed apprentice brothers of his, who were all lying on the ground. "Those of the Land of Legacy were already low in number. And back then, some of them were killed off by you as well. At present, these are the only ones left here. In there, I reckon only Master is left."

    Master...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng recalled something. Duma?

    Shua!

    He raised his head abruptly. In front, around 100 meters from them, was the center of the Land of Legacy. A trace of a dangerous aura was already leaking out as an rming power spread out of it.

    Duma...

    That old man?

    Chen Feng took a deep breath. He had no idea if he was an opponent of that Duma. Yet from the enemies they had encountered thus far, the enemy seemed to be worried that they would intrude upon the center, right? If so, it was certain that the enemy was not capable of insta-killing him.

    Chen Feng contemted. After all, if that Duma was truly excessively powerful, he could easily insta-kill them both. There was no need to use such methods to stop their advance. Either Duma was too weak... or he was presently upied with something else and couldn¡¯t deal with them. Chen Feng and Qin Hai exchanged nces, both agreeing with this possibility.

    Chen Fengcked any hesitation. "Let¡¯s go."

    Qin Hai nodded. "Mhm." He was also curious about what exactly his master was nning by doing all this. The two of them advanced prudently. This time, nobody else appeared to stop them.

    ng!

    They pushed the immense pink door open and finally entered the depths of the Land of Legacy. Yet the scene they saw gave them an immense shock. Beforeing, they had prepared for numerous possibilities. Perhaps they would have to fight it out with this Duma, whose condition was unknown, putting their lives on the line. Regardless of what conspiracy was waiting for them, they were prepared to face it. They were already fully prepared for a bitter battle.

    And yet...

    Not even in their wildest dreams had they imagined that this would be the Duma they would see. The old man appeared as kind as ever, seemingly appearing exactly the same as before. Yet from the pink beard, pink eyebrow, and pink clothes... it was clear that even Duma had fallen under the control of the pink power.

    Qin Hai¡¯s eyes widened. "Master?" He did not dare to believe this. He could understand his fellow apprentice brothers and sisters falling; however, how could an existence like his master...

    "Hiss¡ª" Chen Feng took in a deep breath in shock as well. He had truly wished dearly that all this was the doing of this Duma. Perhaps his cultivation had gone astray, or perhaps he had gone crazy from dressing up as a female, or for any other reason. It would be fine if all this had been the doing of Duma.

    Why? Because if Duma wasn¡¯t behind all this, that signified that behind Duma... there was be an even more terrifying existence!

    Chapter 629: Duma Is Not a Name

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Master?" Qin Hai called out, his voice shuddering. He truly wished that his master had merely suffered from his cultivation going astray. After all, things like this were rather usual. If that was what had happened instead...

    "Hehe, you have arrived." Duma raised his head and gave Qin Hai a nce, the same kind expression still on his face. Yet in his eyes, killing intent could be seen. Qin Hai sank into silence. Duma¡¯s present state waspletely the same as Qin Hai¡¯s fellow apprentice brothers. Even his master had fallen to the pink energy!

    "Qin Hai." Chen Feng took a deep breath and asked, "Your master is only dressed up like this because his hobby is cross-dressing, right?"

    Qin Hai: "..." He knew what answer Chen Feng was wishing to hear. s... Qin Hai sighed. "He has fallen."

    Chen Feng¡¯s hands trembled. "F*ck." That was indeed the case! His lips felt dry. This plot did not seem right. Normally, the plot should have developed in a manner where after they charged in with great difficulty, they would be able to encounter the final boss. After killing the final boss, they could return victorious. Yet now even the final boss had turned pink. This was too excessive! Wasn¡¯t Senior Mu supposed to be the only one who possessed the power to brainwash everyone here in this Land of Legacy? Yet Senior Mu was clearly already dead.

    Fine, Duma had already fallen under the enemy¡¯s control, but this posed a new question. Who was the person behind Duma? Transforming the power within the Land of Legacy and controlling everything here, who was it, exactly?

    Suddenly, a feeling of horror arose in Chen Feng¡¯s heart. This was no longer a question of whether he could defeat Duma. Rather, the question was, after defeating Duma, what else would appear? This seemed like game over to him.

    "Spirit, is Luck Aura done upgrading?" Chen Feng asked.

    Spirit shook her head. "Nope."

    Chen Feng: "..." It seemed like he would not be able to rely on his cheat this time. Ever since he had reached S ss, it had been unreliable. He could only rely on himself now.

    Shua!

    The power of the awakened shed in his hands. Chen Feng prepared for the start of the battle. Facing an enemy at the level of this Duma, he did not dare to be careless.

    Duma looked at Chen Feng. "You are very strong. However, it is ineffective against me."

    "Why are you guys stopping my advance, then?" Chen Feng¡¯s gaze swirled around as he instinctively started searched the area. "Where exactly is the source of that pink energy that was controlling all of you?" Chen Feng fixed his gaze on Duma as he said, "Perhaps... it¡¯s right here?" Indeed, the moment he finished his sentence, a nervous expression could be seen on Duma¡¯s face.

    "Xiao Ying, search," Chen Feng urged inwardly. "Be careful of this guy. Do not approach him."

    Shua!

    Xiao Ying shed out and went underground.

    "Looks like it¡¯s indeed here." Chen Feng maintained a calm expression. "Therefore, you guys have been trying to stop our advance without stop, since if we battle here, that thing might be affected, right?" asked Chen Feng. He had a feeling that he would be able to obtain some clues from Duma. As for Spirit, she was analyzing all avable information faithfully for Chen Feng.

    Dumaughed. "Heehee. You are indeed extremely intelligent." He was clearly an old man, yet the tone with which he spoke was extremely bizarre. Combined with his pink clothing, he exuded a rather sinister aura.

    "Unfortunately, you will not be able to find it," Duma said indifferently.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng and Qin Hai exchanged nces. Not able to find... In short, the source of the power that had transformed the entire Land of Legacy was really here? Moreover, from his words, that thing might truly be a certain power, or some other thing, instead of a person.

    It seems like Duma might have been influenced by something he obtained... Chen Feng guessed. Qin Hai arrived at a simr conclusion as well. After all, things like items with unique powers that affected their masters were rathermon urrences. Besides, just recently, they had also found out about the existence of that small town called Mysterious Town.

    Those primordial remnants there... Duma might have obtained something simr to those things. Both Chen Feng and Qin Hai were extremely intelligent people. In a short period of time, they were able to deduce a rather huge amount of information. Duma might have obtained an item from the Primordial Era and wanted to study it. In the end, he had been controlled by that item instead, and the power of that item had spread and enveloped the entire Land of Legacy. This sequence of events was rather logical.

    Chen Feng heaved a sigh of relief. "Fortunately." If so, all would be fine as long as he couldst long enough for Xiao Ying to discover that thing. Chen Feng exchanged nces with Qin Hai. Qin Hai agreed with his conclusion. If that was the case, they still had hope! As long as they found that thing, there might still be a way out of this!

    Drag!

    They both decided to drag this out.

    Swish! Swish!

    Xiao Ying streaked around underground, searching everywhere at a rapid speed.

    As the previous awakened they had encountered had been able to discover Xiao Ying, this time, Xiao Ying was moving around cautiously to avoid detection, searching around while hiding carefully. This would require some time. Since this old man was a chatterbox, this was advantageous to Qin Hai and Chen Feng.

    "Are you both thinking that I am a chatterbox?" suddenly, Duma asked.

    What? Their hearts sank.

    "Foolish children..." Duma smiled. "You two... I don¡¯t know what exactly you two are thinking about, nor I am aware of the reason you are trying to drag this out. But dear children... for me, time is a nonexistent factor. It is fine for Chen Feng to not be aware of this, but Qin Hai, my dearest disciple, even you are not aware of this?"

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance surged out. Suddenly, Chen Feng and Qin Hai felt the energy within their bodies being exhausted at a rapid rate. Apart from that, even their appearances were aging at a rapid pace. Yet in front of them, Duma was turning young instead.

    "???"

    Chen Feng was rmed. This...

    Time! Duma was actually capable of controlling time! Suddenly, he recalled that the youngdy from back then was apparently the daughter of this Duma. She had even given Chen Feng a figurine molded after herself. That young daughterdy seemed to possess the power of time as well!

    One ought to know that the power of time was a power at a tier far above the power of space. Was this the power of an awakened? Chen Feng was shaken.

    "He is absorbing our time!" Spirit said with a solemn expression.

    Chen Feng pointed. "Disintegrate!" s, it was ineffective.

    This power of his that had been able to disintegrate everything was ineffective against the power of time, which had no shape or form. Besides, this was also a power at the same level as his own. As such, the probability of his power working against it was rather low.

    "Spirit, deduce the operation method of his ability," Chen Feng said inwardly.

    "Deducing. However, time is required." Spirit appeared helpless.

    Chen Feng was walking a path no human had ever walked before. As such, there were no predecessors he could learn from. As the first awakened of humanity, he would have to learn everything himself, including the how to use awakened power.

    Two abilities had been learned from studying that devil expert. Now, facing this ancient awakened, Chen Feng had to study once again. Yet, worryingly, with this speed, by the time the study bore fruit, he would probably have been devoured to death by this Duma. The power of time was too scary. Yet at this moment, a trace of doubt and astonishment appeared on Qin Hai¡¯s face. As he immersed his senses in this power, he recalled something.

    "Time... Such a power... Master once gave me something to read. Back then, I couldn¡¯t understand it."

    Chen Feng recalled the scene back then. Suddenly, he gained some sort of understanding. "That mysterious race... That peculiar species... I understand now."

    Qin Hai seemed to have finally understood something. "Duma... is in fact not a name!"

 Chapter 630: What Exactly Is Duma Trying to Do?

    Chapter 630: What Exactly Is Duma Trying to Do?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng looked at Qin Hai. "What do you mean?"

    Qin Haiughed bitterly. "Hehe... What else can I mean? Before the Holy War, way before that... Master already existed. He had been alive for countless eras. Do you think anyone can stay alive for countless eras? No, that¡¯s not the case. Even the devil race, with their tenacious vitality... That devil expert was only able to increase his life span via a constant cycle of hibernation and waking up. Yet Master..." Qin Hai looked at Duma.

    Chen Feng frowned. "He can absorb life force, right?" Duma¡¯s ability of was very terrifying. If he could truly control time, it would not be a problem for him to stay alive for countless years, since he could absorb time. Chen Feng had once had a dream. If each person in the world gave him a penny each, he would be able to be the richest person in the world. Naturally, this dream had gone unachieved.

    As for Duma, if everyone gave him a second each... he would achieve eternal life!

    "This is the story. Qin Hai sneered, "In the history of the ancient race, there was a mysterious period called ¡¯God¡¯s Anger.¡¯ On that day, everyone was able to feel some abnormalities. Naturally, with their strength at that time, they were not able to discover anything. Even the records of theter generations only mentioned this in passing without an in-depth exnation. However, if one thinks back to this now, one might notice that the so-called ¡¯God¡¯s Anger¡¯ was merely a leap in time. Each and every person lost a single second of their life. This is what actually happened."

    Chen Feng took in a deep breath. "Hiss¡ª" Damn, this old man had truly done that? One had to know that in Chen Feng¡¯s previous life, there had indeed... Oh, forget it, that was in the past. Since this old man had seeded in his undertaking, what was Qin Hai¡¯s intention in mentioning this?

    "Do you think that regrly, one would be able to absorb so much time?" Qin Hai shook his head. "That¡¯s not possible. Don¡¯t think that it is a good thing if a normal person were to suddenly have a lot of time. The moment the time of the entire world gathered in a single person, there would be only one result. That person would have his time extended so much that he suffers death."

    So that¡¯s the case. Chen Feng found himself in agreement to that.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng recalled the Spirit Bomb from Dragon Ball in his previous life. This was a supreme technique created by gathering everyone¡¯s energy. A power at that level wasn¡¯t something an ordinary person could sustain.

    "A human can¡¯t, an ancient can¡¯t, and a devil can¡¯t." Qin Hai coldly continued, "In this world, for someone to be able to endure such power, there is only one possibility..."

    Chen Feng couldn¡¯t help himself. "El... elder?" [1] 1

    "What?" Qin Hai nked. "What¡¯s that?"

    "No, nothing." Chen Feng coughed. "You are referring to..."

    "Scarab." Qin Hai looked at Duma and said, "The early Primordial Era was a wondrous era. At that time, the war had yet to erupt. At that time, gods were still everywhere. At that time, there was a particr race said to be the descendants of gods. They possessed formidable strength, their bodies were sturdy and strong, and naturally, what others envied the most was their long life spans. Their life spans were second to none. Even a certain powerful deity once said that if a war between races were to erupt, the scarab race might be the race to survive, as they could simply outlive all the other races, including the gods."

    Before him, Duma maintained his silence, merely looking at him with a cold gaze. There were several times where Duma had wanted to make a move yet had been restricted by some unknown power.

    Chen Feng¡¯s lip twitched. "Outliving gods..." Truly worthy of being a race with a long life span. However, the term scarab was something he had heard before. Despite his low understanding of it, he could clearly remember from his previous life on earth that this was something rted to pyramids, pharaohs, or something simr, a legendary life-form of the west. Of course, if one wanted Chen Feng to describe this thing called a scarab, it would be a dyed beetle.

    In short... Chen Feng looked at Duma. This old man is in fact a huge beetle?

    Duma: "..." He had no idea what Chen Feng was thinking, yet he still felt annoyed by Chen Feng¡¯s gaze. Of course, if he knew what Chen Feng was thinking about, he would most certainly have been enraged then and there.

    Qin Hai narrated, "The scarab race is legendary. Due to them being too amazing, it is said that in the beginning of the war, they were the first race to be eliminated. Although the other races all hated each other, if any members of the scarab race were to appear suddenly, they would temporarily forget their hatred and join hands to kill the scarabs."

    Chen Feng remained silent. This scarab race was so hated?

    Qin Hai shook his head. "They were too powerful, thus attracting hatred due to jealousy. This was something they couldn¡¯t do anything about either. In a war-torn era, everyone knew that the scarab race was capable of outliving everyone. If so, how could anyone give them a chance?"

    "Are you sure it¡¯s not because of their smell?" Chen Feng started imagining a sight where there were so many beetles that the sky was covered, and he was horrified by his own imagination.

    Qin Hai nked. "What smell?"

    Chen Feng coughed. "No, nothing."

    "???" Qin Hai nced at Chen Feng with an odd gaze. He did not think much of hisments and continued, "Back then, Master was the one who told me the story of the scarab race. I never expected that a member of the scarab race indeed survived. That very survivor is Master! Thenguage of the scarab race is veryplicated, and I have never studied it. I forgot about it not long after master told me about it. But earlier, I recalled something... and after thinking about Master¡¯s name, I was finally able to understand everything." Qin Haipleted his narrative, "In the scarab race¡¯snguage, ¡¯duma¡¯ means chief, and the chief was the strongest among the scarab race."

    Shua!

    Chen Feng was instantly rmed.

    Duma... was actually the chief of a powerful race from the Primordial Era? This was too inconceivable!

    Duma merelyughed coldly. "Hehe."

    He looked at these two idiots as they gradually grew old within his ocean of time. Regardless of Chen Feng or Qin Hai, both were bing old. Each second they dragged on, death approached. As such, Duma wasn¡¯t bothered with stopping them and merely watched on as they courted death themselves, watching on as they wasted their precious lives, bing older and older.

    "Are you thinking that we are very stupid?" Qin Hai smiled. "My master once told me a lot about the scarab race, the scarab race¡¯s abilities, their legends, and also"¡ªsuddenly, Qin Hai¡¯s expression became cold¡ª"the battle of the scarab race." As he finished his sentence, he lifted his hand lightly. "You are exhausting our time away, but I am also waiting for time. Time is the strongest trump card of your scarab race, yet it¡¯s also your biggest weakness."

    Swish!

    Qin Hai pointed.

    Bang!

    With that point, a bright radiance erupted. A faint power of time bubbled up and started rupturing from within. All the power of time started transforming, aging, and all failed. Instantly, Qin Hai¡¯s and Chen Feng¡¯s somewhat aged appearances reverted, transforming back to their youthful appearances. The bacsh of the formidable power of time had started.

    "You..." Duma couldn¡¯t believe it. "You actually know of this?"

    Qin Haiughed. "Hehe. Therefore, you are definitely not my master. Even if you are controlling his body, controlling his consciousness, you will never be him... You... are too weak!"

    Bang!

    The terrifying power of time shattered. Chen Feng and Qin Hai returned to normal, and an expression of suffering appeared on Duma¡¯s face due to the bacsh. He started yelling, and numerous bizarre radiances shed past his face.

    Finally... apanied by a loud roar...

    Shua!

    An immense ck figure appeared. After being ravaged by the power of time, Duma had revealed his real body!

 Chapter 631: Whereâ€™s the Promised Scarab Race?

    Chapter 631: Where¡¯s the Promised Scarab Race?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression became solemn. Here ites! He knew that the moment Duma¡¯s real body appeared was also the moment the true battle would start. Both he and Qin Hai had been waiting for this. s, even though Chen Feng had prepared himself for this, when his gazended on Duma¡¯s body, he nked. This... where was the promised scarab? Where was the promised beetle? What appeared wasn¡¯t a bug at all. Rather, it was a huge and imposing turtle that was exuding a dreadful amount of vitality.

    Chen Feng was stupefied. "Tur... turtle?"

    "Yeah," Qin Hai answered, as if this was what it should be. "Due to their omnipotent shells, they were called the scarab race. Even during the Primordial era, they were the strongest race."

    Chen Feng was astonished. "Oh, so the so-called divine shell actually refers to turtle shell."[1] 1

    "What else?" Qin Hai felt like this buddy of his was rather absent minded today.

    Chen Feng spoke instinctively. "I thought it was a beetle."

    Shua!

    The worldpsed into silence. Qin Hai¡¯s lip twitched. Even Duma, who had justpleted his transformation, became furious as he heard this. Evidently, he had finally understood what Chen Feng¡¯s gaze from earlier had meant.

    Duma was furious. What the f*ck, you are the one that¡¯s a freaking beetle! Your entire family is a beetle! Intense killing intent leaked from his body as he prepared to move against them.

    Chen Feng finally understood. In short, Duma wasn¡¯t some beetle. Rather, he was the legendary turtle chief! Chen Feng gasped in admiration.

    Bang!

    Duma¡¯s killing intent intensified. A terrifying power gathered as he decided to no longer hold back. Even though his consciousness was presently being controlled, he still possessed the sanctity of the scarab race. This feeble human deserved death!

    "Careful," Qin Hai warned Chen Feng. Both of them increased their vignce to the extreme. Yet at this precise moment, a sudden and bizarre sound traveled over.

    The door of a nearby building was suddenly opened. A little turtle wobbled out of it, swaying while humming a song at the same time.

    "The shell is too heavy, if I don¡¯t sway, I will be pushed to the ground."

    "The shell is too heavy, if I don¡¯t sway, I will be pushed to the ground."

    "The shell is too heavy, if I don¡¯t sway, I will be pushed to the ground."

    ...

    Shua!

    The entire world seemed topse into silence. Only the intoxicating song of the turtle lingered in the air. Chen Feng and Qin Hai looked at the little turtle that was walking over with astonishment. Even the furious Duma calmed down and looked at that swaying little turtle with a bizarre gaze. Yet that turtle did not seem to notice anything. While wobbling, the turtle sang. As a turtle, it was evident that despite being so drowsy, this turtle was still able to stand steadily without copsing to the ground.

    Chen Feng looked at the turtle in astonishment. "It¡¯s him!" Even though the size of this fellow had been greatly reduced, Chen Feng was still able to recognize him with a single look. This was precisely that giant turtle they had encountered in the frigid cave back then.

    Mhm, had he still been an F ss back then, or had he been E ss? In any case, it was this turtle. Back then, this turtle had been driven away by Wang Yao. Ultimately, he had been killed by Chen Feng¡¯s group below the sea. Yet unexpectedly, they once again saw this turtle here! This was rather inconceivable!

    Qin Hai was simrly shocked as well. "This turtle..." He remembered clearly that rather than being his master¡¯s pet, this turtle was actually his master¡¯s favorite food. Every day, this turtle would experience numerous methods of dying before being cooked, whether he was lightly fried, deep fried, or cooked via one of numerous other methods. As part of the scarab race, a race that also had shells, it was truly excessively cruel for his master to do this to a turtle...

    And thus, Chen Feng, Qin Hai, and Duma looked at the little turtle with odd gazes. The turtle wobbled three times each step he took. Just like that, the little turtle walked past the battlefield. Something did not feel right...

    Chen Feng and Qin Hai exchanged nces. Qin Hai nodded slightly, evidently feeling that something was wrong as well, yet at the same time, he had a feeling that everything was right. This little turtle...

    When they nced over once again, their pupils suddenly widened. At this moment, they had finally discovered the abnormality they had been feeling earlier. This damnable turtle seemed fine and was even residing here... yet it¡¯s color was normal instead of pink!

    At a ce like this, this appearance was incredibly out of ce. Even a final-boss-type character like Duma, the scarab, had fallen. How had this turtle remained fine? Could it be that the actual final boss was actually...

    "Swaying along with the shell, swaying along with the shell. Ao ao ao~" The turtle was still singing that enchanting melody. When he passed the battlefield, suddenly, his eyes opened wide. All four limbs paddled at a rapid speed as he ran at an insane speed.

    "Mom, the old turtle has gone crazy! So scary! I don¡¯t want to cross-dress!"

    ...

    Swish!

    With a sh, the turtle vanished. Chen Feng swore this was the first time he had seen a turtle run so fast. Even with the super vision he had as an awakened, he had failed to follow the movements of this turtle. This speed was too shocking.

    Before Chen Feng and Qin Hai could move, Duma, who as by their side, suddenly shouted, "Where are you running?"

    Bang!

    He took a single step forward.

    Bang!

    The earth trembled.

    Duma raised his head high as a sinister appearance appeared on his pink turtle head. "As a turtle spirit, instead of allowing me to eat you obediently, you are thinking of rebelling?"

    Bang!

    With a roar, Duma gave up on Chen Feng and Qin Hai and started chasing after the little turtle.

    This...

    Chen Feng was stupefied. What plot was this? This plot did not seem right? He rubbed his head. They had both dragged the time on nonstop to allow Xiao Ying to discover the origin of the pink energy. What about Duma, then? Chen Feng could clearly feel that this guy was trying to drag this out as well. Why was that?

    "Perhaps, some traces of master¡¯s consciousness remain?" Qin Hai guessed.

    "Perhaps." Chen Feng did notment much on it. He looked at Duma, who was chasing after the little turtle. "Turtle spirit... What exactly is the identity of that little turtle?"

    "I don¡¯t know." Qin Hai shook his head. "Master has eaten that fellow countless times and has resurrected him countless times as well for some unknown reason. I don¡¯t know what it is that he is seeking."

    Chen Feng: "..." Eating and resurrecting... Suddenly, he had a rather rming guess. "In short, at present, your master¡¯s innate instinct as a foodie has prevailed over the control of the pink energy?"

    "How is that possible?" Qin Hai rejected that instinctively, yet when he looked at his master, who was chasing after the little turtle, he couldn¡¯t say anything.

    Holy shit... this can¡¯t be true, right?

    This... was even more uneptable than his master being controlled by someone else! Even though his master had fallen under the control of the pink energy, from the steps and preparations of his master from a long time ago, he could sense how unfathomable and powerful his master was. It turned out that his master had long prepared for this situation where he was controlled by the pink energy. So it turned out that everything his master had taught him and the things he had given him were useful after all...

    Yet...

    What in the world was this? The awakening of his instinct as a foodie?

    "Ahahahahahahahah¡ªI am unwilling to be eaten by you! I am the spirit turtle, not turtle jelly! Duma, screw you!"

    Chapter 632: The Lag That Hadn¡¯t Been Experienced for a While

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "I am the divine spirit! It is pointless for you to eat this young master here. My purity is too high, so high your idiotic scarab race can never hope to absorb it. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah." The little turtle ran as he screamed. Chen Feng and Qin Hai watched on with amazement. So this fellow was actually the spirit turtle of the scarab race.

    Bang! Bang!

    Duma chased after the little turtle in a frenzy. Chen Feng and Qin Hai watched on and allowed this to drag on. In any case, they could end this the moment Xiao Ying found the source of the pink energy. s, at this moment, the little turtle howled, "Qin Hai, why are you still not saving me?"

    Qin Hai: "..."

    "We have known each other for so many years. Even if there are no emotions between us, there should be some degree of bromance, right?" the little turtle cried for help.

    Qin Hai: "..."

    Each time I saw you, you were in master¡¯s pot. Where was the bromance?

    "I knew of your identity as a human, yet I never exposed you," the little turtle howled. "What¡¯s that saying of the humans? Familiarity begets fondness. We have been together for so long, there should be some fondness by now, right? Quick, save me!"

    Qin Hai: "..."

    Who in the world was together for long with you? If you don¡¯t know the human sayings, don¡¯t use them in such a misleading manner, all right?

    The little turtle screamed miserably. "Ao¡ª"

    "Is there a need for this?" Qin Hai rolled his eyes. "This is not your first time being eaten. Why are you struggling so bitterly?"

    "No, it¡¯s not the same!" the little turtle screamed. "This stupid Duma seems off today. If I really get eaten by him today, I will most probably be gone for real. Holy shit, I have no intentions of being food for real!"

    Gone for real...

    Chen Feng and Qin Hai exchanged knowing nces.

    "What should we do?" Qin Hai asked.

    "Save him," Chen Feng said without hesitation.

    What they had said earlier about foodies had, after all, been a joke. For Duma to have given up on Chen Feng and Qin Hai even in this situation where he was being controlled and instead concentrate on chasing after the little turtle, there was only a single possibility: the little turtle contained boundless energy. If Duma ate the turtle, he might very well be even stronger. This was what they were worried about.

    Therefore, no matter what, the little turtle had to be rescued!

    Shua!

    Both stood up instantly, thinking to stop Duma.

    Duma waved his hand casually. "Scram!" A formidable power enveloped both Chen Feng and Qin Hai. This was still the power of time.

    Chen Feng tried to destroy time.

    Destroy!

    The ck diamond on Qin Hai¡¯s forehead shone.

    Extinguish!

    In a well-practiced manner, they destroyed the power of time enveloping them only to discover that in fact, a long time had passed in the outside world.

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah¡ª"

    The little turtle was already on the verge of being captured.

    "Time..." Chen Feng¡¯s head ached. If they faced Duma with brute force, even if the power of time would trouble them, they could still keep Duma busy. But now, Duma only needed to use his power of time to create a time difference to render the both of thempletely useless.

    "This won¡¯t do," Qin Hai said with a solemn expression. If this continued, they would never be able to save the little turtle.

    Chen Feng concentrated his gaze. "Time..." This power was too scary, seemingly wless. Even if he could destroy Duma¡¯s ability with brute force, he would still be affected by the power of time. As such, he and Qin Hai would always be toote to rescue the little turtle. They were both awakened ones, yet the difference between him and Duma was so veryrge. If not for the abnormal state Duma was in, Duma could probably eliminate both Chen Feng and Qin Hai any time he wished.

    Shua!

    The two moved and were once again trapped in time. It was the same time difference ability Duma had used earlier.

    "Let me think..." Chen Feng rubbed his head. The flow of their time would forever be slower than Duma¡¯s. This wouldn¡¯t do. However, they had no ess to powers capable of contending against the power of time. Therefore...

    Hold on.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng thought of something. Time! Yes, time! Duma was not the only one with the power of time. Chen Feng had an ability with the power of time as well. Time Quicksand! His eyes shone brightly.

    He couldn¡¯t control, change, or absorb time like Duma; he could only exhaust time. However, if he could use it in an appropriate manner...

    Shua!

    Once again, he moved. Duma wasn¡¯t the least bothered. With a casual wave, the power of time was unleashed again.

    Time Quicksand!

    Shua!

    Time jumped forward. Whether it was Chen Feng or Duma, Qin Hai or the little turtle, everyone¡¯s time leaped shortly.

    One second!

    And the power of time unleashed by Duma vanished noiselessly within this one second.

    Sess!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. Now! Move!

    Bang!

    A bright radiance erupted. Duma¡¯s pink w that was about tond on the little turtle was smashed away by Chen Feng, brushing past the little turtle.

    "You actually managed to arrive..." Duma¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. The time difference ability he had unleashed had actually been broken by Chen Feng. That was the power of time! How had this kid...For the first time, he looked at this young human seriously.

    "Hahahaha. Kill him!" The high-spirited little turtle stood behind Chen Feng. "You pink turtle, actually thinking of touching this young master? Just you wait to be transformed into turtle soup!"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Had this fellow forgotten that he himself was also a turtle?

    "Interesting," Duma said in a deep voice. He had never believed in coincidences. During that split second earlier, he had sensed a familiar power. The time difference he had unleashed had actually skipped to the future. "You possess the power of time skip?" Duma sneered. "In that case... let me show you the power of unlimited time skips."

    Bang!

    His four pink ws stood on the ground. A faint chronal power shrouded his surroundings, a powerful force lingering within.

    What is this? Chen Feng and Qin Hai frowned. Everything felt fine for them.

    And yet, as they were about to make a move, their expressions changed greatly. At this moment, they finally understood the function of this new ability Duma had unleashed.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng raised his hand, clearly feeling his movement slowing down.

    "This..."

    Fear appeared on his face. Lag! Time Lag! His line of thought had already been transmitted. His body had already moved. And yet his reaction time was evidently slower by one or two seconds now. Even after his brain stopped urging his body to move, his body would still continue moving for an extra one or two seconds due to inertia. This...

    Chen Feng took a deep breath. Lag, a term that should only exist in online games for him. He had never imagined that a day woulde when he would eveng in real life, and for it to be so scary! This was a feeling he hadn¡¯t felt for a very long time. In his memories, thest time he had suffered suchg and ended up killed in a ridiculous fashion by his enemy had been in his previous life when he¡¯d yed a game called PUBG.

    Bang!

    In a sh, he and Qin Hai were sted away, since their movements were nowgging behind. Their brains were able to move at normal speed, but everything elsegged. Their entire bodies seemed to move much slower than before. This was the scariest aspect ofg. This time, they were in deep trouble.

    "Ah ah ah ah ah... you perverted pink turtle! There are so many things you can learn, yet you learned tog?" The little turtle ran away while scolding endlessly. "The scarab race¡¯s face has been thrown away by you! What is the point of learning this thing? Isn¡¯t it better to learn to preserve time rather thang it?" Amazingly, this little turtle did not seem affected by theg effect at all.

    Hold on... What¡¯s up with preserving time? So even turtles have the problem where they can¡¯t st long"?[1] 1

    Even more amazingly, due to the timeg, every action of Chen Feng¡¯s and Qin Hai¡¯s was dyed by two seconds. The entire world seemed to begging. What feeling was this? Those who had gamed before would understand this feeling, a feeling where one wished one were dead instead. One had obviously hit the enemy, yet theg caused them to deal no damage. One had obviously evaded the enemy attack, yet they discovered that they had still received damage. This was simply absurd.

    At present, this was exactly what they were experiencing. Saving the little turtle? Well, it wasn¡¯t possible now. In their current circumstance, even preserving their own lives posed a problem.

    Chen Feng was shaken. "Is this the real strength of Duma?"

    Shua! Shua!

    The sight before his eyes would sometimes skip forward or sometimes be cut short, causing him intense difort. This could not be allowed to continue. Chen Feng and Qin Hai exchanged nces. If they allowed Duma to capture the little turtle and consume him just like that, Duma¡¯s strength would most probably be temporarily boosted. At that time, it would truly be game over for them.

    "Spirit, can you study this for me?" Chen Feng asked inwardly. His thoughts were simple. Since everythinggged by one or two seconds, they would simply have to deduce the events two seconds into the future. Through deductions, they could adjust their movements so it flowed naturally. s...

    Spirit shook her head helplessly. "It won¡¯t work."

    This was not a simple deduction. Rather, to make up for these two seconds ofg they were experiencing, only those mythical and powerful foresight abilities would work.

    "No?" Chen Feng was somewhat disappointed. "Then, what if you study Duma¡¯s ability?"

    Suddenly, Chen Feng thought of something. Back then, the devil expert had used advanced spatial abilities. After an intense and bitter battle, Chen Feng had studied him thoroughly before breaking apart his ability. Through that, Chen Feng had obtained a minor disintegration ability and a major spatial-destruction ability. Now, facing Duma...

    Shua! Shua!

    Numerous numbers shed through his brain. This was all the data they had collected since this battle had started.

    "Are there any results?" Chen Feng asked.

    Spirit shook her head. "Nope. Your disintegration ability, though weak, is still your core ability. From the data obtained through this battle, I have already improved your disintegration ability. In the future, you will be able to disintegrate the power of time as well. Naturally, this is only limited to basic time abilities."

    "How about thisg..."

    Spirit shook her head. "Nope."

    Thisg was obviously a major ability of Duma¡¯s that involvedplex calctions. In a short period of time, it was impossible for it to be fully studied. Spirit could only record it down to slowly study it in the future.

    Bang! Bang!

    In the distance, a bright eruption could be seen. Duma was only a slight distance away from the little turtle now. However, even this was thegged scene that Chen Feng was seeing. Perhaps the little turtle had already been caught by Duma.

    Damn it! Chen Feng cursed inwardly. Was there no other way? It wasn¡¯t like this was an online game where a VPN could settle theg...

    Chen Feng felt too helpless to even berate this.

    However, just as this thought shed through his mind, he nked. V... VPN? Yes! If a VPN could be used for online games, why couldn¡¯t one be used for him? Essentially, VPNs were just elerators. By way of changing connection nodes, it could help one¡¯s inte speed improve, counteracting theg. For this VPN to work, it would require a better server to serve as the connecting node between his inte and the online game. And now, this server was what Chen Feng required, a real-life server!

    "I need a server to see the actual situation without theg. On top of that, this server must also be able to transmit what it sees to me. Therefore..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shed. Only Xiao Ying fit the requirements for this.

    "Xiao Ying! Leave thegging area and observe this ce from long distance and reconstruct the scenes you see in my brain," Chen Fengmanded inwardly.

    Swish!

    Xiao Ying shot out, leaving thegging domain. His real body shot off far away. Staying in his half-illusory mode, he transmitted the real scene of what was happening to Chen Feng. Within Chen Feng¡¯s brain, Spirit speedily rearranged all the transmitted data.

    Inwardly, Chen Feng spoke solemnly. "Spirit, the scene sent by Xiao Ying is from his long-distance angle. I need you to study and analyze it, transforming it into a first-person view from my perspective."

    Spirit nodded. "Understood." She couldn¡¯t read the future. However, through the scenes sent by Xiao Ying, she would not have any problems transforming the scenes sent by Xiao Ying into a first-person perspective for Chen Feng.

    Shua! Shua!

    Soon after, Spirit was done. And next, when Chen Feng once again opened his eyes, he saw the real world! Perfect! Nog!

    "Sess!" Chen Feng was overjoyed. A brand-new world could now be seen. That was not his only gain. With Xiao Ying observing from far away, Chen Feng¡¯s new vision covered an even wider area. He could see things he couldn¡¯t normally see, including behind him! This was the benefit of transforming a third-person view into a first-person view. The additional scenes that had been eliminated from his view after the transformation to first-person view were now transforming into floating screens and indicators, flickering around Chen Feng.

    So powerful! Chen Feng himself was shocked by how overpowered this was. This was no longer something as simple as seeing through things. Rather, this was an eye technique, in a sense.

    Furthermore, this new ability he had created could not only be used to solve thisg problem. He could even use it to enhance his sight in environments where one¡¯s sight was restricted, enabling him to see different things.

    "This thing here..." Chen Fengmented. If he had to give this new ability a name, he would name it "Xiao Ying VPN."

    Shua!

    He swept his gaze around. Following the indicator, he saw that the distant Duma was already grabbing the little turtle in his hand. With a sneer, Chen Feng acted without hesitation.

    Bang!

    The earth crumbled. Duma retracted his hand coldly and gazed at Chen Feng while frowning. He couldn¡¯t imagine that Chen Feng was actually able to escape hisg domain. That was, after all, theg domain...

    Duma looked over and saw that Qin Hai was still flickering about persistently within. Evidently, Chen Feng was the only one that had escaped the domain.

    "Coincidence?" he assumed instinctively.

    Shua!

    Once again, he grabbed at the little turtle.

    Bang!

    Once again, Chen Feng smashed his hand away.

    Finally, Duma realized the truth. "You have indeed broken free." He was sure now that Chen Feng had broken out of hisg domain. No traces of energy could be felt, no abilities had been used¡ªjust like that, he had noiselessly broken out. This fellow...

    Fear shed through Duma¡¯s eyes before they shed pink. Finally, his gaze moved away from the little turtle to focus on Chen Feng.

    "Looks like I have to first kill you."

    Bang!

    Boundless killing intent surged from Duma¡¯s body.

    This old man was getting serious. Chen Feng had a solemn expression, feeling like he had a thorny problem on his hands. The timeg was still tolerable, as Xiao Ying VPN was capable of showing him what was happening out there in real time. Coupled with Spirit¡¯s deductions and analysis, he was able to deal with it. Theg effect seemed to be ineffective against Spirit. It might seem like the time taken for Xiao Ying to transmit the scenes and for Spirit toplete the deduction would still slow Chen Feng¡¯s reaction time, but in actual fact, it did not affect him much.

    Shua!

    Duma canceled the timeg. The world before Chen Feng¡¯s eyes turned back to normal, yet he did not dare to reduce his vignce. This was Duma, the leader of the scarab race. Based on what Qin Hai had said earlier, the scarab leader was an extremely respectable and authoritative position, akin to being the king of an entire race. Regardless of who it was, the one who reached this position would be called Duma.

    The scarab race was good at time abilities. Time abilities were the most unique of all abilities and were extremely rare. Since Duma was the king of this scarab race, there was no doubt that he would be good at time maniption.

    Time leap? Time slow? All these were mere basic abilities for him. For the scarab race to be considered a threat by all other races during the Primordial Era, their prowess was evident.

    Chen Feng looked at Qin Hai. "What will he do this time?"

    Qin Hai shook his head. "No idea. Most time abilities are rted to one¡¯s consciousness. Under normal circumstances, this wouldn¡¯t be too big of a problem for the user. But now, with Master¡¯s unstable state as a result of being controlled by the pink energy, he won¡¯t be able to disy the true power of time. Therefore, the abilities he has used and will use are all abilities that won¡¯t be influenced by the state of his consciousness," Qin Hai exined.

    "I see." Chen Feng contemted. It was no wonder that he kept feeling like Duma¡¯s abilities weren¡¯t that powerful. Moreover, even though Duma seemed to have everything under control, no move had been made against Chen Feng and Qin Hai. The reason for that was hisck of confidence in totally killing them. For the present him, the little turtle was the utmost priority.

    If so, this killing intent...

    Chen Feng gazed at Duma, who had locked on to him. Suddenly, he was startled awake as he realized something. He had nearly fallen for Duma¡¯s trick. This guy seemed to be preparing an ultimate ability, yet in fact, his target was still the little turtle. As he thought of this, Chen Feng directly lifted the little turtle and ced the turtle on his body.

    "..." The killing intent that Duma had been condensing stagnated. "You are courting death." He was truly furious now.

    Shua!

    Numerous abilities appeared in Duma¡¯s brain. These time abilities all seemed so terrifying, yet after browsing them all, he noted that he couldn¡¯t use most of them due to this damnable consciousness. Fortunately, there were still some powerful abilities he could use. His focusnded on the few abilities that he could still use. If it was this ability...

    Shua!

    Suddenly, his gaze flickered and glimmered with a faint radiance.

    Hum¡ª

    Power of time, bloom!

    "What is this?" Chen Feng was on alert. Even though the present Duma was half-crippled and could only unleash a small portion of his real strength, this small portion alone was already sufficient to kill both him and Qin Hai. This was, after all, the power of time...

    Hum¡ª

    The faint energy rippled past. Chen Feng frowned, not feeling any changes. Time? The time undtion hadn¡¯t changed. Age? No changes there either. Just as he was feeling puzzled, suddenly, his body felt somewhat different. With astonishment, he noticed that he had be slightly weaker.

    "???" He was dumbstruck. A time ability capable of reducing one¡¯s strength? What in the world? Even more shocking was the fact that Chen Feng had noticed with horror that both he and Qin Hai had be slightly younger.

    This...

    Chen Feng took in a deep breath. Time reversal! Damn it! Finally, Chen Feng understood. In fact, they had once encountered numerous time-reversing abilities. However, most of those abilities had only been capable of inferring things that had happened in the past. They had been abilities used for investigation and analysis. Here, what Duma had used was a true reversal of time.

    He was reversing time, reversing Chen Feng to the Chen Feng from before. Last year, the year before that, three years ago, this would continue all the way until before he had even been born. The moment he reached that point, he would directly die. Naturally, there wasn¡¯t even a need for the reversal to go that far back, as it would waste too much energy. As such, the reversal only needed to reach the period when he was at his weakest...

    "This is one of my minor abilities." Duma sneered. "After all, the opponents during the Primordial Era all had long life spans. Even those not of the scarab race had extremely long life spans, rendering this ability useless. Any random person would require me to reverse several thousands of years for it to be effective. As such, even for me in my peak form, this ability is rather useless. But against you guys... humans... Hahahaha, you guys are too short lived! Let me take a good look at your weakest period."

    Bang!

    The power of time bubbled up.

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression darkened. Damn it! For others, this ability might need to reverse ten-odd years or even several decades for it to be effective. But for Chen Feng? Only several years would be required for Chen Feng to be reduced to a normal person. The time he had cultivated was too short. This wouldn¡¯t do.

    "Spirit, are you not done yet?" Chen Feng urged anxiously. From the start of this battle, Spirit had been studying Duma¡¯s power of time. He wanted to do the same thing he had done when he¡¯d faced the devil expert, creating an ability unique to him from this. s, he had yet to seed even now.

    "No." A conflicted expression appeared on Spirit¡¯s face. "This power is much moreplicated than the devil¡¯s power."

    So far, the results of their study could only improve Chen Feng¡¯s disintegration ability. Apart from that, it was useless.

    How about Xiao Ying? Forget it, he¡¯s probably still searching for the source of the pink energy. Chen Feng rubbed his head. Suddenly, he found that he was out of external options. Spirit and Xiao Ying were upied, while Luck Aura was still silent. At present, he could only rely on himself.

    Power...

    Chen Feng started recalling all the abilities he had. Time Quicksand? He did not dare to use it. The moment time skipped, he might die as well.

    At present, his time was flowing backward. If he dared to skip time, it was likely that only a second would pass in the real world yet he would already be near death.

    God Punisher...

    Forget it. This thing contained Time Quicksand. He couldn¡¯t use it either. Naturally, against an opponent on the level of Duma, these normal abilities wouldn¡¯t work anyway. Facing an awakened one, only powerful awakened powers would work. As for Chen Feng, he only had two awakened abilities. One was the Useless Void Destroyer, which only worked on spatial abilities, while the other was his Star Disintegration Finger.

    ----

    Star Disintegration Finger: a basic awakened ability capable of disintegrating basic abilities of all ability types.

    ----

    After being improved by Spirit, this Star Disintegration Finger was even more powerful. Unfortunately, facing an advanced ability such as this time reversal, a formless and directionless ability, Chen Feng was helpless and could only watch on.

    In short... there were no solutions? Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. It was over. He watched on as his strength declined rapidly as time reversed unendingly. He was nearing the bottleneck before S ss. He knew that it wouldn¡¯t be long before he would drop from S ss. At that time, it would truly be game over for him. Yet he couldn¡¯t do anything and could only watch on as he reached the border of S ss. On the verge of dropping from S ss...

    Huh?

    Suddenly, an odd expression appeared on his face. This...

 Chapter 635: Thank You, Bro!

    Chapter 635: Thank You, Bro!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Time reverse! This ability that was regarded by Duma as trash was presently disying an astonishing effect. Even Chen Feng, who was simrly an awakened, was helpless before it.

    "Humans..." Duma smiled. Humans were truly too weak. During the Ancient Era, any random one of those old fellows would have had a life span of several thousand years. If he had tried using his time reversal on them, he would probably have exhausted all his energy before being able to do anything of substance to the enemy. But here... Humans had a short several-decade life span, and this Chen Feng was even younger.

    Duma waved his hand indifferently. "Die." The time he needed to reverse to reduce Chen Feng from the awakened realm was not even several decades. Only a short period of time needed to be reversed on Chen Feng and he would be able to easily kill Chen Feng.

    Mhm... it¡¯s about time. He could see that Chen Feng¡¯s aura was bing unstable. That¡¯s right. Chen Feng was going to drop back to A ss soon. His awakened aura became unstable. Right at this moment, he noted that Chen Feng¡¯s expression became weird. A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    !

    This guy...

    Duma raised his brows. Had Chen Feng¡¯s brain been reversed so much that he had be retarded? He had no idea what was happening to Chen Feng. However, this smile of Chen Feng¡¯s, for reasons unknown, gave him an ufortable feeling. As such, he sent a probing attack at Chen Feng.

    Swish!

    A simple ray of light shot at Chen Feng. This was a simple awakened attack. However, with Chen Feng¡¯s present state where he was on the verge of dropping out of the awakened realm, it was impossible for him to block this attack.

    Therefore...

    Duma widened his eyes, his gaze fixed on Chen Feng. Indeed, Chen Feng did not even bother blocking the attack. Just like that, he allowed the light to sweep past him.

    Shua!

    Just like that, the ray of light vanished.

    "???" Duma was dumbstruck. Gone? Chen Feng had obviously not moved... What did this guy... Duma had an ominous feeling.

    At present, at a certain location within the unknown region, within a dense forest that humanity had yet to reach, a leopard waszing about by ake. It had been eating so much that it was as plump as a ball.

    Ahh, toofortable. Since this leopard had given up covetting that damnable stone, life had been beautiful. At present, this leopard had even be the guardian of that stone.

    Mhm...

    Anyone thinking of touching that stone would have to first pass through this leopard. It could remember clearly the first time it had protected the stone. It had merely been trying to hunt those injured animals to fill its stomach. Yet as time had passed, it noticed that its strength had been increasing rapidly. This was seemingly rted to that stone.

    Mhm...

    The leopard reasoned that this had to be the blessing of the gods. From that day onward, the leopard had been the guardian of the stone. Life had been toofortable since then. The leopard flipped its plump body around.

    Suddenly, a faint aura swept past. The leopard shivered as all its fur stood up. The leopard stood up abruptly and looked at the center of theke. There, the stone, which had remained silent for so long, was shaking.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The stone shook and flickered at the same time. A terrifying power shimmered around the stone, causing the hearts of all onlookers to be petrified.

    The leopard was confused. What was up with the stone?

    Howl!

    Howl!

    The forest became noisy. Numerous powerful beasts came. Evidently, they had also sensed this bizarre aura. Their greedy gazes were fixed on the stone.

    The leopard howled as it stood by theke. It knew that this would be a bitter battle. "Howl¡ª"

    "Howl¡ª"

    Apanied by a loud howl, the battle began. At this time, in the Land of Legacy, Duma was looking at Chen Feng in panic as well. Evidently, he had no idea what had happened to this kid to give him such peculiar feeling.

    Chen Feng looked at him and said with augh, "Thanks."

    "What?" Duma was somewhat dumbstruck. What was there to thank him for? Chen Feng was actually saying thanks to him?

    "Thank you for allowing me to sense this familiar power... I don¡¯t know how long this willst. However..." Chen Feng smiled. Since he had entered the awakened realm, his improvement had mainly been on understanding andprehension. Even his attacks and deductions had all been rted to Xiao Ying and Spirit. Not a single one of his improvements had been rted to his body. Therefore, although the time had been reversed, so long as he was still in the awakened realm, the effect on him wasn¡¯t much, almost nonexistent. However, there was one single point Chen Feng could not let go.

    "Did you not feel anything?" Chen Feng asked with a toying smile.

    "?!" Duma¡¯s hair stood on end.

    Pu!

    Suddenly, he spurted out a mouthful of blood. What happened? Duma looked at Chen Feng in horror. He had no idea what was happening. This power...

    He cast his senses through his body and noticed with horror that the origin of this power was in fact himself. This was the bacsh from the time reversal he had used. He had actually suffered from the bacsh of reversing time!

    Duma was rmed. How was this possible? One ought to know that this would only happen when he was trying to use his time reversal on someone much stronger than him. Yet he had only used it on a mere human, the weak Chen Feng, who was a brand new awakened.

    "This is impossible!" Duma howled. And next...

    Pu!

    He spurted out another mouthful of blood. His energy was still being exhausted without stop as he suffered bacsh from his time reversal.

    "You..." His eyes widened, and he looked at Chen Feng with an incredulous expression.

    "Are you feelingfortable?" Chen Feng smiled faintly. "You had touched upon something you shouldn¡¯t have..."

    Shua!

    Chen Feng stepped out. Everything around him started operating ording to his will. Chen Feng could even maintain this time reversal, not allowing it to disappear. He did not know why this was happening; however, so long as he could continue this, it would be fine.

    "Spirit, maintain the time reversal at this exact moment. Don¡¯t continue reversing, and don¡¯t cancel the reverse."

    "All right."

    "Spirit, render all of Duma¡¯s attacks ineffective."

    "All right."

    "Spirit, start going all out researching and analyzing Duma¡¯s power."

    "All right."

    "Spirit, assist Xiao Ying in looking for the source of the pink energy. I need the coordinates as soon as possible."

    "All right."

    ...

    Chen Feng gavemands without stop, and Spirit acted ordingly.

    Shua! Shua!

    Chen Feng was slowly gaining the advantage, while opposite him, Duma was still in a daze. Why had this happened suddenly?

    Patter! Patter!

    Time passed.

    "This..."

    The little turtle¡¯s head popped out, and he took a nce with horror before withdrawing his head back into his shell noiselessly. This power... he could sense an ominous aura.

    "I refuse to believe this." Duma wiped his blood and unleashed an attack once again. Unfortunately, all his attacks had be ineffective now. For numerous absurd reasons, all his attacks failed to kill Chen Feng. This weakling Chen Feng had suddenly be so mysterious.

    "What power..." Duma said, gazing at Chen Feng with an incredulous expression, "...are you using, exactly?"

    "No power." Chen Feng smiled. "You are the one who activated this for me. To speak the truth, it has been a long time since Ist felt this power. What a familiar feeling."

    Shua!

    Chen Feng opened both his arms wide. The breeze brushed past him, feeling incrediblyfortable.

    Luck Aura: Full activation!

    That¡¯s right. Luck Aura. This Luck Aura, which had been temporarily deactivated due to the upgrade, had been forcefully reversed by Duma, returned to its state prior to the deactivation. At present, Luck Aura was fully activated.

    At this instant, Chen Feng had entered a brand new realm. Luck Aura was an extremely odd thing. This Luck Aura, which was supposed to be updating had been forced to stop its update. Even so, it still gave Chen Feng a mysterious feeling. Luck Aura seemed to be different now?

    This instant, Chen Feng felt like he was iparably powerful. This instant, he felt like he was omnipotent. This instant, Chen Feng could feel that far away, beyond the horizon, something seemed to be resonating with him. As his thoughts willed, that thing would respond to him. It was an incredibly wondrous feeling.

    This... is this a semi-upgraded Luck Aura? Chen Feng was overjoyed. He did not know how long would he be in this state. Perhaps this state would be gone the moment Duma¡¯s time reversal stopped. As such, he had to make use of this state to its fullest extent. With Luck Aura, he could assist in deducing his very own awakened power. With Luck Aura, he could search for the source of the pink energy.

    Shua! Shua!

    Spirit deduced at a rapid speed. Time abilities, studying awakened power, coordinating of the source... Everything advanced in an orderly fashion. The moment this Luck Aura was activated, the moment Chen Feng entered this state where he had bottomless luck value to use, he was unequaled. The entire world revolved around him! This was the prowess of Luck Aura!

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "In my world of luck, nobody can defeat me."

    Shua!

    He lifted his hand calmly.

    Pu!

    Suddenly, Duma started coughing blood. "Damn it." He looked at Chen Feng in rm. What in the world had happened to this fellow? He could feel that Chen Feng was presently in a mysterious and unique state. Chen Feng¡¯s present momentum was so mighty that he seemed unequaled. Too powerful, so powerful it was petrifying. What was going on with this human? Duma had no answer to that. The only thing he could do was increase the speed of the time reversal. Regardless of what power Chen Feng was using, so long as he dropped from his awakened realm, all his power would be gone.

    This was what Duma believed. Well, in any case, this was his line of thought after a certain wondrous power "guided" his line of thought. And next...

    Bang! Bang!

    As this continued on, he finally found out that this damnable Chen Feng was still an awakened. Moreover, it seemed impossible for his realm to drop.

    Could it be...

    Suddenly, Duma understood something.

    Shua!

    He stopped the time reversal. At that instant, everything returned to normal. Even Chen Feng¡¯s younger appearance returned to his present age, like everything that had appeared earlier had just been an illusion.

    And along with that, the unequaled and mysterious aura around Chen Feng vanished.

    "I see..." Finally, Duma understood. After dropping from the awakened realm, Chen Feng would actually enter such a state. As time reversed, Chen Feng would actually be stronger! Duma had finally understood everything. All his previous assumptions had been wrong. So long as he stopped using his time reversal, this Chen Feng would remain a weakling. Perhaps Chen Feng had once possessed some formidable power in the past that he could no longer use for some reason.

    So that was the case!

    Finally, Duma understood clearly. Despite his heavy injuries, he smiled. Opposite him, a somewhat regretful expression appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. What a pity. He had already used Luck Aura the best he could to search for that source, yet his luck value had, after all, still been limited. The absolutely unrestrained manner in which he had used his Luck Aura earlier had been something that couldn¡¯t havested long. His opponent, Duma, wasn¡¯t an idiot, after all. The moment his luck value was fully exhausted, Duma had understood the truth. Duma was still Duma, even if he only had ess to a small portion of his strength. He was still an illustrious awakened.

    Is it over? Chen Feng took a deep breath and looked inwardly. Indeed, not only was his luck value exhausted, but his Luck Aura had once again been deactivated. But then, so what? Suddenly, Chen Feng smiled.

    "You can still smile?" Duma sneered. Even without his time reversal, he still had countless means at his disposal to eliminate this weakling.

    "Naturally." Chen Feng shrugged and smiled. "Because I have seen through your power."

    "Mhm?" Duma nked before sneering. "Naive."

    Shua!

    Once again, he searched his memory for a powerful time ability and unleashed it. Next...

    Chen Feng pointed. "Disintegrate!"

    His Star Disintegration Finger was activated, and Duma¡¯s activity was forcefully crushed.

    "How is this possible?" Duma cried out in rm.

    "Hehe." Chen Feng smiled calmly. With Luck Aura, nothing was impossible. Even though Luck Aura was no longer active, earlier, his Luck Aura had been like a cheat for Spirit. She had been able toplete all the deductions. Now, Chen Feng¡¯s Star Disintegration Finger was nearly perfect. All advanced spatial and chronal abilities were now ineffective against Chen Feng. Apart from some super trump cards, they wouldn¡¯t work against him at all.

    Chen Feng pointed.

    Disintegrate!

    Yet another one of Duma¡¯s time abilities was disintegrated.

    "I told you. Your abilities are now ineffective," Chen Feng stated faintly. "If you can¡¯t unleash the powerful technical abilities unique to Duma himself, you will not be able to harm me."

    The Duma before him was essentially a "sempleted product".

    "So that¡¯s the case." Duma sneered. Finally, he understood his current predicament. If so...

    Bang!

    Once again, he moved. This time, his attack target wasn¡¯t Chen Feng. Instead, it was the ground.

    Shua! Shua!

    A huge time cage exuding a faint undtion appeared. Everyone near the time cage would be warped by time itself, feeling like death itself would be an escape to this suffering. This power locked the entirety of the Land of Legacy down. However, from this attack that did not seem like an attack, Chen Feng could not feel any killing intent.

    Oh?

    Chen Feng raised his eyebrow, not understanding what this fellow was trying to do.

    Duma spoke calmly. "This is not a killing move. This is, in fact, a defensive ability, an ability that will defend the both of us."

    Chen Feng did not understand.

    Duma appeared calm. "From now on, I reckon we both will have to coexist peacefully."

    Chen Feng was still confused. What was this? Peaceful coexistence? What? Had this guy recovered his consciousness? Chen Feng looked at Qin Hai. Qin Hai merely shook his head. Evidently, this pink turtle was still under the control of the pink. If so, what did he mean, then?

    "You don¡¯t understand?" Duma shook his head. "This is the ultimate trump card of us scarabs. Although I can¡¯t use much of the real power of this body, this particr ability does not have any limitations."

    Finally, Chen Feng¡¯s expression became solemn. "Oh?"

    Trump card, huh? This ability...

    He had never expected that a day woulde when he would need his opponent to exin a trump card to him. But then, it seemed like Duma was very happy to provide this exnation? After all, he was seeking peaceful coexistence, right? Chen Feng wanted to know what this so-called peaceful coexistence trump card was all about.

    "Do you still not understand?" Duma¡¯s expression was calm as he said, "The flow of time in here is somewhat different than the outside world. Naturally, the speed is in fact still normal. Since we are all together in here, maintaining this does not exhaust much energy on my part. The reason for the low exhaustion is because this is an ability with only a single function: trapping us all in here, trapping us here eternally. Here, time is boundless. Let us see who can live longer!"

    Finally, Chen Feng understood. What the hell? No wonder this turtle wasn¡¯t anxious at all. His so-called trump card was actually outliving his opponents? What in the world? The scarab race was shameless! Competing in longevity after failing to defeat an opponent? This was too excessive! This method of operation...

 Chapter 637: Origin Power

    Chapter 637: Origin Power

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At center of the Land of Legacy, the chronal undtion swirled around. Chen Feng tried approaching the edge of the cage. He even tried attacking the cage, but it felt like all the power he put in his attack vanished amid the river of time. This was the scarab race¡¯s trump card, a trump card where everything about the enemy, including the enemy¡¯s strength, would be meaningless. So long as one was not immune to time effects, one would be trapped forever. In the history of the scarab race, during the olden days, it had been said that they had once outlived a powerful god with this move. This was also the reason the scarab race had been feared by all.

    "It¡¯s over." The head of the little turtle popped out of his shell, despair evident in his widened eyes. He was extremely clear on the history of the scarab race. There was only one result that awaited all trapped by this cage.

    "Numerous years will also pass in the outside world as well?" Chen Feng asked with a frown.

    "Nope." The little turtle was so horrified that his head became green. "When the trapped person dies, his life will be taken as the sacrifice to revert time. When the trapper returns to the outside world, only several hours or several days will have passed..."

    Chen Feng was shocked. "This works?" Worthy of being the scarab race feared by all.

    "Bro, can you stop being shocked?" The little turtle cried a tearless cry and continued, "You are not from the Shock Department, right? Why in the world are you being shocked all the time? Why not think of a solution? I don¡¯t want to be trapped here..."

    Chen Feng gave the little turtle a nce. "Aren¡¯t you the spirit turtle? I doubt you will die..."

    "I won¡¯t die, but I will be bored." The little turtle was going crazy. "For people in the outside world, only several hours will have passed, yet for the trapped, several tens of thousands of years will have passed. No female turtles, no anime, nothing! I can only count the patterns on my turtle shell to pass time every single day. This is not the life I want!"

    The little turtle was going crazy.

    "Ah." Chen Feng was speechless. Indeed, such a life wasn¡¯t something anyone could endure. This was no longer a problem of one¡¯s life span. Before one¡¯s life ended, one would probably first be tormented to insanity by boredom itself.

    "Theory..." Chen Feng started thinking. He now knew about the scarab race¡¯s trump card. How about the theory behind it?

    Duma did not seem worried that Chen Feng would break out of this cage. After all, if that was possible, it would have already been done back during the era long gone. It had been proven that this cage could not be broken.

    "There¡¯s no theory." The little turtle appeared dispirited. "This is purely the exhaustion of one¡¯s time. In fact, the time in here flows much faster than in the outside world even though you can¡¯t feel it. Moreover, even your appearance won¡¯t change¡ªyou won¡¯t get older. Only when enough time has passed for one¡¯s life span to end will this ability end, taking the life span of that person as the sacrifice. The person whose life span has ended will vanish into nothing," the little turtle said with a painful expression.

    "What if I kill Duma, then?" Chen Feng asked suddenly.

    The little turtle shook his head. "It¡¯s pointless. The moment this cage is activated, only the exhaustion of one¡¯s life span is real. Everything else is illusory."

    Chen Feng finally understood. "So that¡¯s the case."

    Exhaustion of time...

    Chen Feng was maintaining a calm expression, but he had the urge tough out loud. The umtion of luck value required time, as did Luck Aura¡¯s upgrade. Wasn¡¯t this act of Duma¡¯s an act of giving him the ultimate chance?

    Interesting...

    Chen Fengughed toyingly. In that case, he would wait. As he thought of this, he ignored them all and selected a corner to quietly sit down in. He sat cross-legged, waiting for his Luck Aura to finish its upgrade.

    "This guy..." A question mark appeared in Duma¡¯s brain, yet he continued waiting patiently. He was sure that Chen Feng would not give up just like that. As such, he wanted to see clearly what this guy was nning.

    Time passed quietly.

    Due to the unique power of time, they had no idea how much time had passed. However, Chen Feng could sense that at the very least, one month had passed. Or perhaps even more. Therefore...

    He cast his senses inward and was rmed to see that Luck Aura was still upgrading.

    Chen Feng frowned. Odd. It had been an entire month. He could feel the umtion of luck value. However, shouldn¡¯t the upgrade have beenpleted by now? Perhaps it would bepleted soon?

    He shut his eyes and rested once again.

    Next... several months passed. After checking again, he noted that Luck Aura was still upgrading.

    "!!!" His eyes gleamed. There had to be a problem somewhere! The upgrade was taking way too long! From the moment when Chen Feng had first returned to this until now, including the time passed in the cage, several months had passed. The upgrade should have already beenpleted. s, it had yet toplete.

    Chen Feng was aware that Luck Aura was a unique existence. Chen Feng could even ept it if this Luck Aura was immune to time. However, previously, it had been clearly proven that the power of time could restore Luck Aura to its earlier state...

    If so... what was the problem now? This was the very first time he had started viewing this issue gravely. He could feel that something extraordinary must have happened to Luck Aura, causing it to fail to upgrade.

    Chen Feng scratched his head. "Has the connection been severed?" He recalled how in his previous life, when software had failed to update, it could be due to a severed connection. Back then, during that single instant when Luck Aura had been reactivated, he had clearly sensed something. That powerful thing had been trembling. Perhaps there had been a system error of some sort due to Luck Aura being forcefully activated earlier?

    Chen Feng tried searching for the reason, yet this mysterious thing was, after all, different from aputer. With Chen Feng¡¯s strength, it was impossible for him to troubleshoot it. What is happening to Luck Aura? Chen Feng questioned inwardly.

    Suddenly, Duma spoke. "Seems like you have failed." He had been paying attention to Chen Feng¡¯s expression. From the initial indifference to joy to downcast and doubtful, which had just appeared a short while ago, it seemed like Chen Feng had failed at whatever he had been attempting. Chen Feng merely raised his head calmly and gave Duma a single nce.

    Duma sneered. "Still not giving up?" Nobody could hope to survive this cage. As such, his opponents mostly tried to stop him when he tried activating this ability, as they understood this ability way too much, knowing the precise weakness of this ability.

    As for Chen Feng, he knew nothing. Moreover, due to the short life span of humans, he would even die before long.

    Chen Feng wasn¡¯t surprised. "Mhm." Half a year had passed since they¡¯d been trapped in here. After a short while, yet another year would pass. Time truly worked in a bizarre fashion here in this cage. If this continued, he would truly die.

    But then... it shouldn¡¯t be long before it¡¯s done, right? Chen Feng muttered to himself, seemingly waiting for something.

    Duma sneered inwardly. "Still not giving up?"

    Fine, let¡¯s see how long you canst before you sumb to insanity.

    But then, due to the short life span of humans, he probably wouldn¡¯t evenst long enough to be driven insane. Perhaps Chen Feng will exhaust his life span before that, Duma spected inwardly.

    Right at this instant, a formidable power erupted suddenly.

    Bang!

    Duma¡¯s expression changed abruptly. What is it?

    Finally, Chen Feng¡¯s gaze intensified. "Here ites..."

    Bang! Bang!

    The ground started copsing. From a certain corner of this unique cage, a formidable pink power started surging out wantonly, directly copsing this world.

    "How is that possible?" Duma cried out in rm.

    Bang! Bang!

    The pink destroyed the world, and Duma and Chen Feng were forcefully returned to the real world. There, in a certain corner of the Land of Legacy, the pink energy was surging out like a fountain. This was the very thing that had destroyed Duma¡¯s cage.

    "That is..." Duma¡¯s body trembled. He couldn¡¯t believe what he had seen.

    Chen Feng¡¯s mouth curled up, forming a smile. "Looks like... the source of your power has been found..."

    Bang!

    The entire world seemed to tremble. The pink power erupted and Duma¡¯s expression sank.

    Swish! Swish!

    Xiao Ying appeared and attacked the pink origin without stop.

    Duma¡¯s expression changed. "Damn it!" The pink origin was the core of all the pink energy. The moment it suffered damage, the integration with Duma¡¯s original consciousness would suffer as well. Cracks appeared among the consciousness and pink that had been fully integrated earlier.

    Pu!

    Duma coughed out a mouthful of blood and nearly copsed to the ground.

    "You dare?" he howled, and he stood up, clenching his teeth.

    s, after taking only a few steps forward, he copsed powerlessly. All the pink around his body faded slowly, bing white. Ultimately, he transformed back into that in old man.

    "Master." Qin Hai rushed over."Unconscious due to energy exhaustion..." Qin Hai said after taking a look at his master. Only energy exhaustion would free one from the pink¡¯s control. This did not surprise them, as it should be the same even for Duma.

    Bang! Bang!

    The pink fountain was still surging out. Xiao Ying had already returned to Chen Feng noiselessly. The origin had been found. If so... it was time to find out the truth behind all this! The true identity of the pink origin, the one who had controlled Duma, should appear soon, right?

    Hum¡ª

    From the pink fog, a light wave spread out. The pink origin had appeared.

 Chapter 638: The True Culprit

    Chapter 638: The True Culprit

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Amid the starry sky.

    Hum¡ª

    A shockwave shed past.

    Bang!

    A battleship exploded loudly. Along with the intense tremors, it transformed into numerous particles before vanishing. At this time, in outer space, the countless battleships of the rich that had once orbited the had all vanished. Amid the starry sky, only a single battleship remained. One could also say that only an eternal throne remained here. On the throne, a person was seated. A pair of indifferent eyes were gazing upon the where humans lived.

    Shua!

    With a casual wave of his hand, numerous phantoms surged out. From the throne, numerous wondrous and mysterious rays of light shot out. In the starry sky, these rays of light converged before slowly assuming the shapes of numerous battleships, like they had never been destroyed in the first ce, as if nothing had ever happened in this part of the space, as flourishing as ever.

    The night seemed deeper.

    ...

    On a certain faraway world, a group of people was working busily. The one leading had a pair of horns on his head. Evidently, this was the Twin Horns World, a world Chen Feng was familiar with.

    "How¡¯s the progress on the trail?" an elderly voice asked.

    "We can¡¯t follow it."

    "After Chen Feng left, all traces vanished," that person reported in shame.

    An angry rebuke resounded. "Trash! Didn¡¯t we let him go on purpose just to discover the he originated from? You guys actually failed to tail after him? What¡¯s the point of keeping you guys around, then?"

    From the furious rebuttal, an rming piece of information was revealed. Chen Feng had actually been released deliberately by them. This was understandable, though. Compared to this mysterious and powerful Twin Horns World, Chen Feng was too weak. If they hadn¡¯t intended his escape in the first ce, it would have been impossible for Chen Feng to escape.

    "Chen Feng used an irregr method to leave." The person was prostrated on the ground and shuddered as he spoke. "We tailed after the traces when he left. However, we noticed that the trail led us to a chaotic space where logic did not apply. There are no spatial tunnels there. All the people we sent have died there."

    Shua!

    The old man sunk into silence.

    After a long time, his voice, filled with killing intent, resounded, "In short, you are telling me that Chen Feng entered a sure-death location and hasn¡¯t returned to his at all?"

    "I..."

    The questioned person did not know how to answer this question. They had originally believed that Chen Feng had returned to his own world. After all, Chen Feng was the only person they had ever seen who was capable of transmigrating independently. As such, they had deliberately allowed his escape. s... they had never expected that this would be the result.

    Chen Feng¡¯s transmigration wasn¡¯t a return to his home world as they had expected. Rather, he had crashed into the spatial currents, a location of sure death. And next... there was no next. Chen Feng was gone. They had no idea if he was still alive. The trail had been severed, rendering them incapable of tailing him.

    Was this some unique method of operation by Chen Feng? The old man muttered to himself for a short period of time before ultimately saying, "Since this is in past, forget about it. Now, I want you guys to focus on the trails left by Chen Feng and tell me how long will be required before we can enter that world."

    The person that was prostrating on the ground said, "...That is impossible."

    The old man¡¯s voice became sharp as he asked, "Why?"

    The person spoke in a daze. "The departure of Chen Feng and Kong Bai severed all sources of information. We will forever be unable to reach Chen Feng¡¯s world."

    Bang!

    The aura of the old man engulfed the entire world in his anger, causing countless people to tremble in fear. As for the person that was prostrated before the old man, he was sweating profusely, yet he truly had no other choice. Sometimes, no meant no.

    "Ah ah ah ah ah ah¡ª" The old man was furious. "Will we be trapped here forever? Do we truly have no hope?"

    His overcast cry resounded. There were no replies. This unique world, this Twin Horns World, still operated by the mode set by him.

    ...

    At the center of the Land of Legacy, Chen Feng¡¯s group had just finished dealing with Duma. When Xiao Ying had attacked the pink energy, they had finally been able to see the person behind the scenes, their true enemy.

    s... beyond their wildest imaginations, this enemy was actually...

    Qin Hai¡¯s expression changed greatly. "Why is it you?"

    Shua!

    A powerful shockwave spread out. In the sky, a boundless radiance started converging together.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. A scene in the Land of Legacy appeared. Here, the Land of Legacy had seemingly returned to its initial state where everything was still normal. At that time, Duma had just ended his seclusion. In the scene, Duma¡¯s expression did not seem too calm. He seemed to have found out about something. After picking up some stuff, he entered seclusion once again.

    "Those things..." The little turtle was shocked. He was the only one who knew the functions of these things. Each time he had been revived by the old man after being eaten, it had been using these things.

    This is... time restoration!

    Bang!

    Duma destroyed the timeline forcefully. From amid the myriad timelines, he restored time and ultimately rescued a certain person from the river of time. The person rescued was the woman that had been killed by Chen Feng previously, Qin Hai¡¯s senior apprentice sister, the pink diamond who had been rumored to be capable of controlling all life-forms. This was Duma¡¯s strongest ability: resurrection!

    Qin Hai took in a deep breath. "Master actually resurrected senior sister."

    "This fellow..." The little turtle was simrly horrified. He was, in fact, a spirit body; hence, resurrecting him wasn¡¯t too big of a deal, as it was not in vition of anyws. Yet resurrecting that woman... Duma would have to exhaust a huge amount of his power. Indeed, after the resurrection, Duma¡¯s strength declined greatly. As for the one resurrected by him, the senior apprentice sister that had returned, she had changed somewhat.

    And next, something scary happened. The pink energy engulfed the world. This pink-diamond senior sister with the ability to charm the world had evolved. From controlling beasts, she had evolved and be the controller of everything. Ultimately, the entirety of the Land of Legacy had fallen under her control.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. The pink and light that filled the sky vanished without a trace.

    They raised their heads and gazed over. From the depths of the pink Land of Legacy, a figure they were all familiar with was slowly walking out. On her forehead, the pink diamond shone dazzlingly. Her seductive figure swayed about and her rich chest bounced about. The one that had been pulling the strings behind the scene was precisely Qin Hai¡¯s senior apprentice sister.

    Qin Hai sighed. "Senior sister..." Prior to this, who would have guessed that the one hidden behind the scenes was his senior apprentice sister? But then, it was understandable. Only his senior apprentice sister¡¯s charming ability would be able to affect everyone here.

    The senior apprentice sister spoke with a smile. "Long time no see, my junior brother."

    "Why?" Qin Hai could not understand her reason for doing this.

    "Because you all deserve death." The senior apprentice sister¡¯s expression became cold. "I sent my distress signal, and someone obviously received it, yet nobody came. I waited until the final moment before I was killed by that little girl. Nobody came... You all deserve death!"

    Qin Hai sank into silence. The one to receive the distress signal back then had been him. At that time, his senior apprentice sister had been controlling the devils to attack Star City. Chen Feng had been defending there, and Wang Yao had been in charge of assassinating this senior apprentice sister. The only thing he had been able to do to help was to sever all of his senior apprentice sister¡¯s reinforcements, as he was ultimately still a human.

    "How about Master?" Qin Hai focused his gaze on her. "Master treated you like his own daughter. He even resurrected you! Is this how you repay his kindness?"

    "Kindness?" The senior apprentice sister startedughing wildly. "Whatever kindness it was, it is still no match for you, right? That old bastard obviously saw through your real identity long ago. He obviously saw through the fact that you are human long ago... Hehehehe." Senior apprentice sister¡¯s voice became sharp. "Yet he decided to conceal everything, causing my death!"

    Qin Hai¡¯s heart thumped wildly.

    Saw through...

    Identity...

    It seemed like he had been seen through by his master long ago? That was understandable. He was one who had traveled through time several millenniums into the past. There were some things his fellow apprentice brothers and sisters couldn¡¯t remember, but it was impossible for his master to not remember it. He had ultimately underestimated Duma. But then, his master had actually chosen not to expose him! Why?

    "Because he has grown old. He has already lost the burning spirit he once had when he was younger. He wished to stay out of everything, including his disciples. He imed that if he employed his power of time excessively, he would suffer retribution. Therefore, I became curious if he can still use the power of time. Indeed, he once again employed his power of time to resurrect me. And next, he indeed suffered retribution. He had believed that that would be sufficient to pay me for the betrayal I suffered...

    "How is that possible? I hate you, I hate Chen Feng, I hate all of you! None of you will ever know how scary that little girl Wang Yao is. None of you will ever understand what it feels like when your heart is stabbed by her. That feeling... is no different than being in hell!

    "That little girl has a scary power capable of delivering one the utmost suffering. I dithered between life and death. I sought survival amid the primal chaos and couldn¡¯t die for real even when I wanted to... You all will never be able to imagine what I experienced after my death!"

    The senior apprentice sister¡¯s furious voice had a trace of fear mixed in when she talked about her experience. Chen Feng and Qin Hai exchanged nces and were both shocked. Utmost suffering...seeking survival, couldn¡¯t die for real even when she wanted to... Was this the fate of all killed by Wang Yao?

    Moreover, Chen Feng could keenly feel that despite the intense hatred this senior apprentice sister was feeling, not an ounce of the hatred was directed against Wang Yao. Why was that? She was afraid... even Chen Feng could hear her fear toward Wang Yao. Was this a shadow left in her heart after being killed by Wang Yao?

    Or was it because...

    Bang!

    The terrifying pink energy surged sharply. Finally, the senior apprentice sister erupted with her powerful might.

    "I will kill all of you!"

    Her killing intent surged.

    "Qin Hai," Chen Feng shouted.

    "Understood." Qin Hai nodded before retreating with Duma.

    "Thinking of leaving?" The senior apprentice sister sted forth with a pink radiance from her hand.

    Bang!

    The pink radiance abruptly exploded in midair. The senior apprentice sister stopped her attack and regarded this young man that was blocking her. This was the very person that had foiled all of her ns today as well.

    "Chen Feng..." the senior apprentice sister muttered. Awakened... human! Very well. Perhaps this might be the most optimal puppet for her.

    Hum¡ª

    The pink energy spread out.

    "Your strength..."

    A trace of fear shed through Qin Hai¡¯s eyes. He was very clear on the strength of this senior apprentice sister. Although she was very powerful, she was still a beyond A ss and was not as wise as Duma. No, this strength she was showing did not seem right!

    Hum¡ª

    The pink energy emanated out. Qin Hai¡¯s pupils shrunk as he felt a terrifying undtion.

    "Chen Feng, careful! There are some issues with her strength!" said Qin Hai.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. The pink swept forth, targeting Chen Feng.

    Her dream-like voice resounded as the faint pink energy surrounded Chen Feng. "Hehe. Human... fall obediently! Since those pieces of trash have failed to contain you, let me control you instead."

    Swish!

    Chen Feng had an ominous feeling and retreated quickly. s, the pink energy surged out in great amount abruptly and erupted all over Chen Feng before vanishing once again.

    "Gone?"

    Chen Feng knitted his brows tightly. Something was wrong with this senior apprentice sister here. Even Duma had fallen under her control after a moment of carelessness. He had to guard against her.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng activated his defense.

    "Spirit, pay more attention for me."

    "Understood."

    "Xiao Ying, search for the energy that went missing."

    Swish!

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was sharp as he looked around cautiously. However, before both Spirit and Xiao Ying returned with his asked-for results, he was assaulted by intense drowsiness.

    "Not good," he muttered.

    Disintegrate! Disintegrate! Disintegrate!

    He attacked three times in a row. The powerful awakened power was pointed at the empty air around him, yet the intense drowsiness wasn¡¯t affected at all. Chen Feng was getting more and more drowsy.

    His expression sank. It¡¯s over.

    The pink energy had dissipated amid the air and seemed to be everywhere. Theck of trajectory and form made it impossible for Chen Feng to attack. This time, he was truly in danger.

    Shua!

    His eyes darkened. Chen Feng waspletely falling.

    Qin Hai was anxious. "Chen Feng!" He tried rushing over to rescue Chen Feng but was immediately sted away by his senior apprentice sister.

    "My adorable junior brother. Hehe. Just you wait. I will watch on with my own eyes as he kills you." The senior apprentice sister¡¯s voice was filled with malice. Her eyes were filled with hatred, and there was a twisted expression on her face.

    Ka!

    A crisp sound echoed. Qin Hai looked over immediately and found that Chen Feng¡¯s fingernails had turned pink. He was on the verge of falling under the enemy¡¯s control.

    Qin Hai¡¯s heart sank. "Chen Feng..." He had never expected that even with Chen Feng¡¯s present strength, Chen Feng would still not be a match for his senior apprentice sister, to the point that Chen Feng couldn¡¯t even survive a single attack. His senior apprentice sister was presently so powerful that one couldn¡¯t even begin to imagine the extent of her prowess.

    "What happened to you exactly?" Qin Hai did not dare to believe this. A single death and resurrection and she was already this strong? It was impossible!

    Senior apprentice sister merelyughed but did not reply. Her indifferent gazended on Chen Feng. She wanted to see all of Chen Feng turn pink, fallingpletely under her control, before killing each other with Qin Hai. Mhm... She had been looking forward to this for a long time.

    "Damn it!" Qin Hai was aware that he had no other options left.

    Leave!

    He would return after his master had recovered. This was what Qin Hai thought. s, just as he started retreating, a sh of light streaked past his back and a pink barrier appeared to obstruct his escape route.

    "It¡¯s useless, my adorable junior brother. From the moment you both entered, I had already prepared everything... Hehe. This is the graveyard I prepared for you two," the senior apprentice sister said with a sinister expression.

    Shua!

    The body hairs on Chen Feng¡¯s arm had turned pink.

    In these short few seconds, both his hands hadpletely fallen. Both his hands were shrouded in pink now. Chen Feng was starting to fall, and nobody seemed capable of stopping this. Charming was a unique ability capable of ignoring one¡¯s strength and prating the depths of one¡¯s heart to fully control a person. Currently, the fallen Chen Feng¡¯s consciousness and thinking were blurry, and his memories were bing unclear. In the world of the charm his consciousness was in, he led his own life independently.

    "Soon..." The senior apprentice sister fixed her gaze on Chen Feng. This was merely the start. As the charm deepened, Chen Feng¡¯s inner thoughts would be exposed without stop. His past memories would also appear without stop. She would make use of all those before improving her control over Chen Feng. This was the reason why those who had fallen under her control had never been able to throw her control off.

    She monitored Chen Feng¡¯s consciousness, trying to lure him over. Her world of charm was akin to a cage. The moment Chen Feng¡¯s consciousness fell entirely and was entirely imprisoned in the cage would also be the moment he fell under herplete control. In the world of her charm, even Duma couldn¡¯t escape. This world belonged to her.

    Come...

    Come...

    Her consciousness transmitted this message to Chen Feng¡¯s mind without stop. Chen Feng¡¯s mind wavered on the verge of beingpletely under her control.

    Soon. The senior apprentice sister was overjoyed. However, she failed to notice that within Chen Feng¡¯s consciousness, a petite and beautiful figure was watching everything and sighing, seemingly waiting for something.

    Her soft voice drifted through the air. "This fellow... is acting more and more wantonly..."

    At present, the senior apprentice sister, who was immersed in her ns to devour Chen Feng¡¯s memories to obtain full control over him, suddenly discovered that among Chen Feng¡¯s memories, an extremely clear figure had appeared. That petite figure... that red clothing... those huge lively eyes... and that boundless killing intent!

    Senior apprentice sister shivered and was instantly scared awake. "It¡¯s you!"

    Wang Yao!

    She had actually seen that damnable young girl in Chen Feng¡¯s memories.

    However, senior apprentice sister wasn¡¯t an ordinary person. She only required a short instant to realize that this must be Chen Feng¡¯s final counter. This guy had ultimately built a mental defense against her. However...

    Her expression became sinister. "Is such a defense sufficient?" With force, she tried snatching Chen Feng¡¯s consciousness into her own consciousness.

    Shua!

    She waved her hand. The formidable power of charm bloomed. A certain figure was tossed into the cage.

    Senior apprentice sister sneered. "Sess!" However, when she looked over, she was dumbstruck as she found that the thing that had been charmed over wasn¡¯t Chen Feng¡¯s consciousness. Rather, it was an odd thing. It seemed like a tiny red snake with a peculiar appearance. At present, this snake¡¯s eyes appeared to be lifeless, and the snake¡¯s body was waving around without stop. asionally, the snake would grow limp, and asionally, it would harden. At times, it would thrust back and forth. Mhm...

    Senior apprentice sister was dumbstruck.

    No, this isn¡¯t right...

    She had obviously charmed Chen Feng. How could she have gotten the wrong consciousness? Just as she was in doubt...

    Bang!

    The world of charm copsed, and Chen Feng, who she had believed was already under her control, opened his eyes, killing intent shing through them. With a single step, he stepped into the world of charm. He wasn¡¯t pulled into the cage by her. Rather, he made his way in by himself.

    The senior apprentice sister was rmed and angered at the same time. "You dare?" She had never imagined that Chen Feng was actually so clear headed and was still capable of making a move against her. How was this possible?

    Chen Feng sneered. "Ah."

    Bang!

    With a punch, he broke the world of charm.

    Bang!

    It copsed.

    Chen Feng¡¯s sharp gaze swept past the fragments of this copsed world. This was the world created by the pink energy, the world of charm created with utmost care by this senior apprentice sister, which could be used to control others. In addition to Chen Feng, her own consciousness and numerous memory fragments were contained in this world as well.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng punched out without stop and watched on as this world withered. From the countless memory fragments, he found the fragment unique to this senior apprentice sister. Next, from that fragment, he searched for the secret behind her increase in strength.

 Chapter 640: Primordial Power

    Chapter 640: Primordial Power

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Ah. It was over. Chen Feng¡¯s mouth curled up, forming a smile. His consciousness and Xiao Ying¡¯s were connected in the first ce. Therefore, all the charm and spiritual attacksunched by senior apprentice sister had all been transferred over to Xiao Ying. This was also the reason for Xiao Ying¡¯s bizarre actions...

    Bang!

    Chen Feng acted and destroyed everything.

    The senior apprentice sister¡¯s mournful scream reverberated through the air. "No!" She stared on nkly as her world of charm copsed and her body received heavy injuries instantly. She had never imagined that even after her rebirth, she would have to suffer this. This was not supposed to be possible. She was the strongest existence. Even her master had fallen under her control. How could she suffer at the hands of a mere human?

    No! Impossible! She went crazy.

    Chen Feng sneered and ignored her. "Ah." He focused on the memory fragments and looked for the real source of her strength. There had to be a reason for her abrupt increase in strength. Chen Feng¡¯s sharp gaze swept past the memory fragments before stopping on a certain fragment. It was a pink fragment, yet the pink on this particr fragment was deeper and had a slight glossy tint to it. Even amid the sea of countless pink fragments, it appeared unordinary.

    "Rted to this?" Chen Feng instinctively reached out to grab it. Astonishingly, just as his hand was about tond on that fragment, the fragment streaked away and instantly vanished over the horizon. The speed it had moved at was petrifying.

    "This thing..." Chen Feng was shocked. It actually had an independent consciousness?

    "A primordial power could be felt," the little turtle said as his head popped out of his shell behind Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He looked at the vanishing ray of light with his brows knitted together tightly. Primordial power? Why had this power appeared here? Why had it appeared in the body of Qin Hai¡¯s senior apprentice sister? Chen Feng sank into contemtion.

    The sharp voice of the senior apprentice sister resounded. "Chen Feng!" She was already heavily injured and hadn¡¯t noticed the departure of that pink energy at all. She was trying to regain control of the situation. A mere human...

    She reasoned that since Chen Feng had personally left his sea of consciousness and had separated from that tiny snake, her charm would most certainly work on him now.

    Shua!

    Once again, the power of charm bloomed.

    Chen Feng snorted. "Ridiculous." With a light jab of his finger, all of her power disintegrated. Indeed, after losing the support of that wondrous energy, the present senior apprentice sister had returned to how she had been before, a peak beyond A ss. She was still extremely formidable, but against Chen Feng...

    Shua!

    With a random wave of Chen Feng¡¯s hand, she was sted away.

    Bang!

    Blood sttered about.

    Chen Feng sighed. "It¡¯s finally over."

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance swept out. The earth trembled and the pink energy receded. Slowly, the world returned to normal. All the pink started to vanish. The center of the Land of Legacy returned to normal.

    Chen Feng gazed upon the sky. "The sky is clear now."

    The sky, which had been enveloped in pink for a long time, was once again blue and sunny.

    Qin Hai sighed. "Yeah." They hadn¡¯t been in this Land of Legacy for long, yet what they had experienced made it feel like several years had passed. The numerous unimaginable abilities that they¡¯d had to deal with had caused them extreme exhaustion. Fortunately, it had all ended.

    Chen Feng noticed some movement. "The Gic Union ising." Since the abnormality surrounding the Land of Legacy had vanished, the Gic Union would most certainly enter shortly.

    "I know," Qin Hai said. "I will take them away first. You cer."

    Chen Feng nodded slightly. "Mhm." With Qin Hai¡¯s identity, it was indeed rather unsuitable for him to appear before the other humans.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. Qin Hai vanished with Duma and the rest. After a short while, the Gic Union members arrived.

    They were all overjoyed to see him. "Chen Feng!"

    "Clear up the things here," Chen Feng said with a smile.

    "It¡¯s good that you are fine." Li Lei was iparably agitated. Shortly after, he looked around the Land of Legacy. "What in the world happened here, exactly?"

    "Some minor problems." Chen Feng gave a rough description.

    Li Lei gasped in astonishment. "Pink origin... Primordial power..." He had never expected that in such a short period of time, so many things had happened. He had also never expected that the primordial power was the reason for all of this.

    "I will let you handle the rest over here," Chen Feng said. "I still have something I need to do."

    "Understood." Li Lei paused and continued, "Remember to be extra careful."

    "Mhm." Chen Feng left. Qin Hai was waiting for him at the ancient race¡¯s pce. When he arrived, Duma and the rest were already regaining consciousness.

    Chen Feng cupped his hands and greeted Duma. "Senior."

    He wasn¡¯t particrly afraid of this Duma. The present Duma had been greatly weakened and was not as powerful as he had once been. Otherwise, Chen Feng would probably have killed him off earlier when he¡¯d had the chance.

    "Many thanks..." Duma said with aplicated expression. At this time, Qin Hai¡¯s other fellow apprentice brothers woke up, exchanged nces, and thanked Chen Feng before leaving. Regardless of how much they were against the integration of humans and ancients, as Chen Feng had saved them during this incident at the Land of Legacy, they were no longer qualified to object to the integration.

    "Yo, old turtle, you¡¯re awake?" The little turtle clicked his tongue in wonder. "How does it feel, for your body to be fully exhausted of energy?"

    Duma: "..."

    This fellow...

    Chen Feng did not know whether tough or cry either.

    "Senior," Chen Feng said with a solemn expression. "May I ask, what exactly happened?"

    Everything that had happened at the Land of Legacy had originated from the mysterious pink energy. However, where had the mysterious energye from? Why had it appeared? How had it happened? Chen Feng was clueless.

    Duma sighed. "Due to my greed. I once saw an item somewhere. From it, I sensed primordial power. As such, I wanted to take it for my own use. Unfortunately, even with my strength, I was unable to approach that item. As such, I unsealed a remnant item of the Primordial Era that I had, trying to fight poison with poison. As a result..."

    Duma shook his head. "I received grave injuries, and the energy contained in the remnant item from the Primordial Era escaped."

    Chen Feng contemted. So the pink energy was what escaped?

    "I was gravely injured at that time, and that girl was good at controlling others..." Dumaughed bitterly. He had never expected that a day woulde when he would fall under the control of one of his disciples. Initially, he had only wanted to use the power of the Primordial Era to obtain that stone that simrly contained the power of the Primordial Era. Unexpectedly, he had still overestimated himself...

    "Although I lived through the Primordial Era, at that time, I was a newborn. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have escaped the cmity that happened to everyone else. I don¡¯t have much understanding of that era... However, that pink energy is definitely not something ordinary. Even back in the Primordial Era, it should have been qualified to be listed in the ranks of the strongest powers. Otherwise, it could not possess such strength. Now that it has escaped..." Duma was deeply worried. "Things will be extremely dangerous."

    If it was able to find another person like Qin Hai¡¯s senior apprentice sister, it might be able to control the entire world for real.

    "My strength will not recover anytime soon. I¡¯m afraid you will have to be the one to deal with this." Duma looked at Chen Feng. "I have seen the rise and fall of countless eras. It has indeed been hard for humans and ancients to reach this level. Hopefully, you will not turn on each other. Naturally, as the price for this peace, you can ask me anything you want to know. I can tell you everything I know about the awakened."

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone.

    He knew nothing about the awakened. If Duma could teach him, perhaps he could truly improve and be even stronger.

    As for that pink energy... he had never intended to leave it alone anyway. The so-called primordial power gave him an extremely ominous feeling. He could not allow such a mysterious and peculiar power to continue existing.

    ...

    In a certain city, Han Y returned home after finishing his work for the day.

    "Little Tong." [1] 1 He opened the door, filled with expectations. Unfortunately, nobody was found.

    Is she out?

    His heart chilled. He knew that Little Tong was "yful" in nature and enjoyed "those activities." However, they had already been married for a month, and he was capable of cloning himself now, capable of fulfilling her desires.

    "Little Tong?" Han Y called out several times, and his heart chilled when he received no response. Just as his heart chilled, suddenly, his expression became solemn. With his powerful senses, he discovered something abnormal.

    Above their bed, on their wedding picture, two sweetly smiling people could be seen. Different from the past, in this picture, a different color had appeared: pink.

    "Little Tong... What happened?"

 Chapter 641: Resonance

    Chapter 641: Resonance

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Ancient race¡¯s pce.

    Chen Feng was silently looking at the information shown on the screen. That¡¯s right, this was the pce of the ancient race. With the assistance of humans, the ancients had installed the most advanced technological equipment here as well. Naturally, as they were still rather unfamiliar with operating this equipment, half the staffers here were humans.

    After this equipment had been installed, the study on the topography of the ancient race¡¯s territory, environment, and species had begun. With this, the exploration of the had increased rapidly. After one month of study, the results had finallye out. At present, 58% of the had been explored. This was a rather astonishing amount. One ought to know that back then, when Chen Feng had first be a Gic Warrior, only 18% of this had been explored. Now, the figure had increased by more than two times. At present, 58% of this had been explored, with the remaining 42% still unknown.

    However, from the map, they deduced that the remaining 42% could very well beprised of oceans, a domain humans did not need to reach for the time being.

    "If the remaining 42% is truly all ocean, we can use blue to indicate it in the map. With that, the map of the entire will be clear. Look, this used to be the devil race¡¯s territory." The technician pointed at a huge nk zone. "Although this territory is now abandoned, when we were hunting the devils in the past, this area was reconnoitered as well. There are no dangers there. As for these..." The technician pointed at the red signs on the map. "Some areas have powerful beasts, whereas some are hard to enter due to environmental factors. Due to our limited manpower, we have yet to investigate these areas thoroughly. However, these areas onlyprise 1% of the and will not affect our overall development. We can just mark them as danger zones on the map for now and leave it alone."

    Chen Feng nodded. "Mhm." These special danger zones were not only avable in the devil race¡¯s territory. In the human territory, there were many such locations as well. An example was the Frozen Sea they had been to previously. Toward the end, they only needed to focus on confirming such locations before marking them with a warning sign.

    As for the remaining areas, most of them were the territory of the ancient race. After talking it out with the ancient race, they had cheerfully epted the convenience offered by the Gic Union. Communicators were introduced to the ancients, chips were installed, and monitors and numerous detection radars and even numerous other facilities, such as Ironclouds, were directly installed in the depths of the ancient race¡¯s territory.

    The ancients were extremely happy with the convenience brought by technology. As for the Research Agency, they were incredibly busy these days. As the major figure in the technological industry, Stormtech Company had also set out to be a role model and had gifted the ancients numerous pieces of equipment. With this, the speed at which humans gained understanding of the ancients increased even faster than they had imagined.

    It wasn¡¯t that the ancients were too stupid. Rather, the facilities the humans offered were truly too convenient. Moreover, at the same time the humans were prating deep into the lives of the ancients, the ancients were doing the same to the humans. This was essentially a double-edged sword of sorts.

    With the present harmonious rtionship between humans and ancients, nobody dared to act recklessly. The appearance of Ironcloud had also increased the speed of their integration. If no mishaps happened, after several decades, the humans and ancients would slowly fully integrate into a single entity.

    However, this was on the premise that none of those formidable powers of the Primordial Era were lurking around. Based on what Duma had said, the powers of the Primordial Era would appear asionally. This was precisely the reason for his seemingly random asional disappearances all this while, even if these powers might appear rather feeble.

    Duma solemnly advised Chen Feng, "The moment one of these powers appears, it must be destroyed. Nobody knows what terrifying thing will be awakened by the appearance of these powers. For example, these powers might awaken something in a simr fashion to the way the devils awoke themselves. Or perhaps... some formidable existence might be awakened."

    These years, he had destroyed numerous powers of the Primordial Era that had appeared abruptly. This had continued until that stone had appeared. He hadn¡¯t even been able to touch that stone. For him, the pink origin wasn¡¯t an issue. What he was worried about the most was that stone.

    "As of now, each power that has appeared has been a remnant of that era, a fragment of that era. However, that stone gives me an extremely bizarre feeling, as if it is aplete entity." Duma was extremely anxious.

    Mysterious stone...

    Duma spoke a lot, yet Chen Feng merely listened on silently.

    "What is a primordial power? Primordial power isprised of all the powers that existed during the Primordial Era. Any power that existed in that era will bear a trace of the aura from that era. They were extremely powerful and dreadful. What¡¯s important isn¡¯t the might of these powers. Rather, it is the fact that all the aura leftover from that aura will have some sort of resonance with those existences that have slumbered or been dead for several millennia. How dreadful the resonance of that era is is something you can¡¯t even begin toprehend," Duma said with a heavy tone.

    Resonance...

    Chen Feng frowned. For the primordial powers, the most important thing was resonance? What exactly was this so-called resonance? Chen Feng had way too many questions about all this.

    Duma shook his head. "It is impossible to describe. If you encounter it in the future, you will know. Naturally, I hope that the day will nevere... Although the powers of the Primordial Era are mighty, there are still differing levels, with some being weak as well. An example is the awakened ones. During the Primordial Era, awakened ones existed. If the power of resonance is not taken into consideration, their strength is in fact simr to ours. There was nothing special about them."

    Chen Feng was astonished. "Oh?" The awakened of the Primordial Era was actually simr to present awakened ones? It seemed like the Primordial Era was not a big deal, then...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng thought of something. "Oh, right. What exactly does awakened mean?"

    "Awaken?" Duma contemted. "I recall that, at that time, it was said that an ordinary person that had awakened the power of resonance would be called an awakened. As for their increasedbat power, it was merely a supplementary effect of being awakened."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Increase inbat power was merely a supplementary effect? In short, what he had achieved so far was nothing but a mere side effect of others when they awakened? So he was in fact a fake?

    Hey, hold on.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng recalled that the first time he had heard the term awakened had been on the Twin Horns World. Why would they be using the same term? Chen Feng was able to guess something. The Twin Horns World, the so-called alien world, the arena that was the so-called savior of space travelers, had probably been built by some refugees of that era? If so, this would be eptable. Chen Feng¡¯s thoughts moved rapidly, numerous thoughts swirling around in his brain. With Duma¡¯s exnation, he was getting more curious about the so-called resonance power. However, even with this, Duma couldn¡¯t exin it to him.

    "Resonance..." Duma shook his head. "I can¡¯t say it, I can¡¯t use it. It¡¯s too mysterious. If I provide an excessive exnation, I might truly attract the resonance of some existences."

    "???" Chen Feng¡¯s eyes widened. Holy shit, a mere exnation would give rise to resonance as well?

    Duma smiled bitterly. "Why else? This is also why those existences were akin to the sun, the moon, and the stars of the Primordial Era, why the world revolved around them. I hope that I will never see the power of resonance ever again."

    Chen Feng raised a brow. Is that so? Resonance... was something one couldn¡¯t even speak about? This was the first time he had realized how scary this power could be. This was akin to a censoring software that would censor someone whenever they said something...

    An example would be "water **, Duma¡¯s **," and so on. One would never be able to see the full word, just a bunch of asterisks.

    Resonance was evidently such an existence.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng thought of something. "Can you use such a power, then?" One ought to know that Duma was also an awakened of that era.

    Duma nodded his head. "Yes. The inheritance of our race is a bloodline inheritance. Everything will appear as we age. I still remember all of them. However, even now, I have never used them once, as I dare not. Even at the risk of bing as weak as the present me, I still didn¡¯t dare use them." Duma gazed at the remaining pink on his body. "Although I don¡¯t know what will happen, the power of resonance... is something I will never use, if possible," Duma stated firmly, causing Chen Feng to exim in admiration at the prowess of resonance. Even if he had to be controlled by his disciple, even when near death, he still dared not use the power of resonance.

    What exactly was this thing?

    Suddenly, Chen Feng thought of something, and his eyes shone brightly. "Do I have such power?"

 Chapter 642: Green, the Worlds Rescuer

    Chapter 642: Green, the World¡¯s Rescuer

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "I have such a power as well?" Chen Feng was happy to hear this.

    "Yes. However, without anyone guiding you, you will forever unable to achieve resonance," Duma stated without any hesitation.

    So that¡¯s the case. Chen Feng contemted. Since Duma didn¡¯t dare to mention it, he would stop asking.

    Chen Fengughed bitterly. "It seems like I have been busy for nothing again." He had initially believed that he would be able to learn a lot of things here. However, after gaining some understanding, with great helplessness, he found that without using the power of resonance, nobody was any better than anyone else. After all, all the awakened powers were merely supplementary effects of the awakening.

    Mhm...

    This applied to even Duma. As such, he could stop dreaming about learning anything too powerful here.

    "If so... I have one final question." Chen Feng looked at Duma. "Since you have such strength, are not part of the ancient race, and have also witnessed the birth and fall of numerous races and even lived through countless eras, why would you partake in the Holy War?"

    Shua!

    Duma raised his head abruptly. Holy War...

    Compared to the distant Primordial Era, the Holy War was akin to something that had happened a short while ago, to the point that everything that had happened at that time was still vivid in his mind. So vivid was his memory that he could still remember that the Chen Feng and Qin Hai before him had also been there during the Holy War back then.

    Duma shook his head. "Have you forgotten my duty? Ancients, devils, and humans, I don¡¯t really care who wins in the end. Otherwise, do you think I would have allowed the humans and ancients to integrate?"

    Instantly, Chen Feng blushed with shame. That was true. If Duma had truly wanted to get involved in the affairs of the ancient race, those minor schemes Chen Feng had used on the ancients would have been pointless. All of humanity might have been destroyed instead.

    "The rise and fall of a race is as the natural order should be and is unrted to me. Back then, the only reason I got involved in the affair pertaining to the barbarians was because of their chief..." Duma frowned and continued, "He employed a primordial power! From somewhere unknown, he obtained some fragments of primordial items and nearly caused a resonance. I was forced to act."

    Primordial...

    Resonance...

    Instantly, Chen Feng understood everything clearly. So it was because of that. If so, the barbarians hadn¡¯t been destroyed for nothing back then after all.

    "How about the devils..." Chen Feng asked.

    "They surprised me as well." Duma¡¯s head ached. "I was only forced to act on the barbarians. Next, it should have been the time for the devils and ancients to grow and further develop with the absence of the barbarians. Unexpectedly, scenes of me participating in the war were spread. Perhaps I had defeated the barbarians way too easily back then, scaring the devils to the extent that they all started slumbering."

    Chen Feng was speechless when he heard this. So it turned out that the devils entering their slumber had been unexpected. This... If those devils were to find out the truth, they would probably be so angry that they started turning in their graves, right?

    "You must pay more attention to that stone," Duma said with a solemn tone. "The moment the power of resonance is activated, it will be unstoppable. The Primordial Era might descend upon this world once again. Therefore... regardless of which primordial power it is, the moment it appears, you must destroy it. There¡¯s also that pink power..." Duma pondered and spoke solemnly. "I will teach you some techniques to search for and capture primordial powers. You will have to finish the job."

    New technique acquired!

    Chen Feng walked out of the pce and sighed deeply. He had initiallye to increase his strength, yet ultimately, he had instead learned some scanning and scouting techniques that could be used on primordial powers. As for his personalbat power, there hadn¡¯t been many changes.

    He pointed at the empty air three times.

    Disintegrate!

    Disintegrate!

    Disintegrate!

    He could feel the empty air disintegrating. This was a power far surpassing theprehension level of an ordinary person, so powerful that one couldn¡¯t even begin to imagine its prowess. However, even something so powerful was merely a supplementary effect of the power of resonance?

    Resonance... how powerful was it?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. Despite how powerful and attractive such powers were, if possible, Chen Feng did not wish to witness the appearance of such a power, since nobody knew what would happen afterward. Well, for now, he should first focus on dealing with the escaped pink power. Chen Feng shook his head and discarded his extra thoughts.

    Shua!

    With Spirit¡¯s assistance, Chen Feng was able to master the techniques quickly.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint light wave swept out. From a certain distant location, a faint aura traveled back to him. It was precisely the pink origin that Chen Feng had encountered previously.

    "Found you." Chen Feng was happy at the discovery. This technique to search for primordial powers was much more powerful than he had imagined.

    Surprisingly, the pink origin was actually located within a human city in a certain flourishing metropolis.

    Chen Feng had an ominous feeling. "Not good." He had once experienced himself how scary this thing was. If the pink decided to attack without prejudice, something might happen to an entire city with a poption of several million residents. As he thought of this, Chen Feng rushed over.

    Shortly after, Chen Feng arrived in the city. Even without using the searching technique, he was already able to feel the existence of the pink origin. Following after the aura, he was able to locate it soon after.

    However, when Chen Feng saw the pink, he froze. He had guessed that the pink would probablytch upon another person. However, he had never expected that the pink would actually select her! Xie Zhongtong!

    At present, the scantily dressed Xie Zhongtong was having "fun" with a group of people. Numerous hands roamed her body, and numerous peculiar voices resounded amid this alley.

    This fellow...

    Chen Feng sighed. Xie Zhongtong and Han Y had gone through numerous hardships before they had been able to put this wild side of hers under control and finally been able to be together. Unexpectedly, something had still happened to her. Initially, he had believed that due to their experiences together, at most, Han Y would suffer a little amount of green[1] 1 . But now, it seemed like the green on Han Y¡¯s head was as wide as a grasnd, to the point that horses could run on it.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng shed over and was about to act when he suddenly saw the dazed expression in Xie Zhongtong¡¯s eyes. Instantly, he was rmed. This appearance... Could it be...

    Chen Feng stopped moving and observed carefully for a short while. Finally, he confirmed one astonishing fact. That powerful and mysterious primordial power was in fact enjoying this! That¡¯s right, the pink power was enjoying being caressed by this group of people here.

    Chen Feng was truly startled. "This..." This was a primordial power! These people should be akin to bugs and tools for this primordial power! Yet this power was actually enjoying this...

    "Could it be..." Chen Feng took in a deep breath. "Such a dreadful power has actually been influenced by Xie Zhongtong¡¯s nature?"

    If that was the case, how "passionate" was Xie Zhongtong as a person for her to even influence a primordial power?

    "It¡¯s possible," Spirit agreed without hesitation. "In fact, after that senior apprentice sister was possessed, the pink was influenced by her to a certain extent as well. That is why the pink hated you so much. However, that senior apprentice sister¡¯s willpower seemed rather ordinary, as toward the end, she was fully under the pink¡¯s control. As for this Xie Zhongtong... and if this is truly the pink origin... based on the strength of that senior apprentice sister after fusing with this pink origin, the moment this pink fused with Xie Zhongtong, the power was sufficient to cover this entire city," Spirit deduced seriously. "That senior apprentice sister¡¯s ability is merely charming, controlling one¡¯s mind. As for Xie Zhongtong, she can induce a mass breeding season! Her only weakness thus far is that her strength is too weak. But after fusing with the pink power, this weakness no longer exists. This is what¡¯s scary about this situation. The moment Xie Zhongtong unleashes her full power, this entire city, the several million inhabitants, nobody will be able to escape."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Chen Feng started to imagine the scene where, after this incident, numerous new videos were uploaded onto those amateur porno websites. As he thought of that, his head ached. Perhaps that was the reason the pink power chose Xie Zhongtong? The only mishap was that, aftertching on to Xie Zhongtong, the pink power had surprisingly been influenced by Xie Zhongtong¡¯s nature instead and had started enjoying all this...

    Chen Feng sighed. "Scary." Our dear friend Han Y is truly pitiful.

    Spirit continued deducing seriously. "It doesn¡¯t matter. In any case, he is already so green that his heart is hopeless. Why would he bother with increasing the intensity of his green? He is already so green that he¡¯s a forest now."

    Chen Feng sighed endlessly. From the alley, bizarre panting sounds resounded without stop. Spirit was still making deductions. "From her expression, tone, and her bodily reaction, she will be fully engrossed in this state of utter bliss soon... The moment you act, she will be jolted awake from this state of utter bliss in an extremely miserable manner. At that time, there is a 96% probability that she will then unleash a wide area attack. The possibility of this entire city falling victim is incredibly high. Therefore, I suggest that you don¡¯t do anything for now and continue observing the development."

    This was Spirit¡¯s proposal.

    "How long will it take to free itself from Xie Zhongtong¡¯s influence?" Chen Feng asked. Based on the previous circumstances of the senior apprentice sister, this pink power was capable of invading one¡¯s mind, from the initial slight influence to the finalplete control. Chen Feng did not know how long Xie Zhongtong couldst before she was fully under the pink¡¯s control.

    "Mhm..." Spirit paused, doubt on her face, and lowered her head to ponder seriously for a while before saying, "I don¡¯t know."

    Chen Feng looked at Spirit in astonishment. "You don¡¯t know?" Weren¡¯t deductions extremely easy for Spirit?

    "Mhm..." Spirit scratched her head. "I am indeed able to deduce when ites to regr people. However, Xie Zhongtong is rather unique. From my observations, I noticed that the fusion of that pink origin and Xie Zhongtong has gotten deeper and deeper. To be more urate, the pink power has submitted to Xie Zhongtong¡¯s nature... It seems to have fallen."

    Huh?

    Chen Feng was dumbstruck. Fallen? A magnificent primordial power had fallen to Xie Zhongtong?

    Hiss¡ª

    Chen Feng took in a deep breath in shock. In short, this nature of Xie Zhongtong¡¯s was incredibly astonishing? Her previous act of "destroying" an entire family all by herself had already been an act of incredible restraint?

    Holy shit.

    Chen Feng was shocked speechless. In this wide world, everything was indeed possible.

    "Based on the circumstances of a human body, the primordial power poses no threat in this state. Rather, for the forever-alone single males, this is a special benefit. There is no need to worry about this primordial power for now. You can also say that Xie Zhongtong¡¯s nature has temporarily semi-sealed the primordial power."

    Chen Feng nodded. "Understood."

    It seemed like this pink power had been temporarily rendered ineffective. In any case, before he found a way to prevent the growth of this pink power, he should not wake it up from this state. It would be the best if it could forever sink into depravity...

    "Take your time enjoying the beauty of mankind." Chen Feng retired himself noiselessly. There, in the alley, the most natural of voices a human could make resounded without stop.

    "It¡¯s a pity for Han Y." Chen Feng¡¯s heart ached somewhat. After all, Han Y had put in great effort in order to be with Xie Zhongtong. He had learned a lot of new abilities, such as cloning abilities, multitasking abilities, and so on. Telling Han Y about this? Forget it. Chen Feng did not wish to see Xie Zhongtong awoken from her present state. For humanity, Han Y would have to suffer.

    Chen Feng pondered and turned his screen on noiselessly. Next, he entered a certain music website and gifted Han Y 10 years worth of green diamond VIP ess to the music streaming website. Hopefully, this would serve as some sort of constion for him...

    When Han Y felt lonely, he could listen to some songs here. Perhaps it would help improve his mood. For example, Miss Dong, A Little Happiness, Youth Justice Bao, and so on. Chen Feng had no idea if this world had these songs or not, though. [1] 1

    For now, this pink power affair could be momentarily put aside. Chen Feng intended to go pay that mysterious stone mentioned by Duma a visit. Based on what Duma had said, that mysterious stone was floating above ake. It was terrifying and powerful. However, if one did not approach the stone, one wouldn¡¯t suffer from anything.

    s, when Chen Feng arrived, nothing could be found there. The stone had gone missing. Not only the stone, the entireke had gone missing as well. On the ground, only a huge hole was left behind. Seemingly, the stone and every single drop of water in theke had been moved away.

    Chen Feng was rmed. "Taken away by someone else?" That stone was so terrifying. If it fused with someone... it would be a disaster!

    Shua!

    He tried searching for the stone using the technique taught by Duma. Unfortunately, nothing was found. That stone had seemingly vanished from the face of the world. It was unable to be found at all.

    Chen Feng frowned. "Has it been taken away?" The present him was extremely strong, the apex of humanity. However, the stronger he was, the more intense the fear he felt. The enigmatic primordial powers that kept appearing without stop, the unknown existences hidden within the undeveloped regions, and the astonishing news that came without stop from that mysterious town...

    Perhaps an ordinary human would instead be the one to live a happy life, as ignorance is bliss?

    Chen Feng sighed. "Looks like things are getting somewhat troublesome."

    The disappearance of that stone hadn¡¯t allowed Chen Feng to feel relieved. Rather, it caused his entire body to chill due to the fear of the unknown he was presently feeling.

    "This ce..." Chen Feng stepped into the hole. He wanted to see if any traces were left here. Suddenly, his entire body shivered, as his Luck Aura, which had been silent for so long in his body, started blooming intensely.

    A terrifying aura erupted.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng was rmed. And then, before he could even react to it, his Luck Aura once again deactivated and went silent, as if what happened earlier had been but an illusion.

    What was going on?

    Chen Feng was stupefied. Why had Luck Aura raged suddenly before vanishing? Chen Feng pondered as he looked at the leftover traces in the hole. Perhaps the feeble leftover aura here had influenced his Luck Aura? If so, if he truly found that mysterious stone, Luck Aura could very well wake up from its slumber and might even undergo a transformation.

    This thing... Chen Feng vowed that he had to find this thing. With the present understanding humanity had of this world, so long as that stone hadn¡¯t entered the boundless ocean, which remained unexplored, he would most certainly be able to find it.

    "I will get the deputy president to help me..." Chen Feng turned hismunicator on and was about to give an order to the Gic Union.

    Suddenly, a loud boom resounded.

    Bang!

    The earth trembled. From a certain location so far that the naked eye couldn¡¯t see it, a huge shaking could be felt. Even with his present strength, he was still unable to sense the precise location it originated from.

    Chen Feng was horrified. "How far away is it?" It was confirmed that something had happened. For even him to be unable to sense the exact location, that signified that the location was extremely far away. However, this distance wasn¡¯t the scariest thing about this. What was scary was that, despite how far it was, Chen Feng could still feel the tremors.

    Shua!

    He turned his screen on quickly. The inte, which had been peaceful for a while, was presently bustling.

    "What happened?"

    "No idea. That scared the shit out of me. I nearly got into an ident."

    "My factory suffered a disastrous loss as well. Fortunately, there were no casualties. The tremors are so intense. Where did it happen?"

    "No idea. I was on the verge of winning a public match. Because of the tremors, I missed my ultimate."

    "You should be happy with that. Do you know that I was getting it on with my lovely wife earlier? With the sudden shaking, I inserted my ¡¯tool¡¯ in the wrong hole."

    "...Take care, bro."

    "I¡¯m fainting. Where exactly did this happen?"

    "No idea. Here in the East, we only felt the tremors."

    "Same for the West."

    "It should be the same for the South."

    "The tremors in the North aren¡¯t that bad."

    Countless people started indicating that they were safe and sound online. rmingly, almost everyone had only sensed the intense tremors. Not a single location had been reported to have suffered a huge disaster.

    Chen Feng frowned. "How can this..." He got Spirit to gather the information online and noted that almost all cities in existence had reported that they were fine, even including the cities of the ancient race. In short, the location where the disaster had happened...

    Chen Feng gazed in the direction of the boundless ocean, the unexplored and undeveloped 48% of this! Had something happened there? That was Chen Feng¡¯s guess.

    Right at this instant, hismunicator buzzed. He nced at it and noted that it was the deputy president. "Chen Feng, I¡¯m afraid you will have toe over. We were able to detect the origin of the tremors. But the location... is in the depths of this¡¯s core."

 Chapter 644: Great Changes at the Core

    Chapter 644: Great Changes at the Core

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the¡¯s core, a purple-ck aura rolled about, akin to a huge hand. A mysterious and powerful aura was spreading around the¡¯s core. At present, this core waspletely unlike humanity¡¯s understanding of what a¡¯s core was like. The entire core currently resembled a trembling life-form. Suddenly, the purple-ck aura converged together and assumed the shape of a sinister door. Next, a familiar yet unfamiliar aura was guided in...

    Bang! Bang!

    Numerous mysterious and powerful existences appeared.

    They cheered in an insane manner.

    They cried tears of joy.

    Trembling, they sensed the aura of the world.

    "We... have returned!"

    Bang!

    A terrifying aura spread out.

    ...

    Gic Union.

    Chen Feng was looking at the information regarding the undtion that had suddenly appeared.

    "A few hours ago, we detectedrge-scale activity at the core. Based on our investigation, this is not a natural disaster." With a solemn expression, the technician continued, "After getting the assistance of the Gic Union, we were able to confirm that these detected signs of activity are rted to the tremors."

    In short, this was what had caused the tremors? Chen Feng looked at the traces indicated on the screen. As this was information they had obtained through some unique scouting ability, they had only been able to obtain a rough outline of the cause. However, from the looks of the outline...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shed with a petrifying radiance. "Human?"

    "We are still not sure yet. The outline is too crude. We were unable to obtain a clearer image and can only judge that these signs of activity were the result of certain life-forms," the technician exined.

    "Life-forms..." Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. He fixed his gaze on the outline for a short while before saying, "I am not good at science. However, isn¡¯t the¡¯s core a ce an ordinary person can¡¯t even hope to reach?"

    "That¡¯s right." The technician nodded. "That ce has a vile environment. It is simply impossible for an ordinary person to survive there. Since the start of the Gic Era, humanity¡¯s strength has increased greatly. We were once worried that someone would go destroy the core with their newfound strength, causing a disaster for the entire. As such, we indeed deployed some people to the core back then to reconnoiter the area. Then, we found that... that ce is probably the firmest part of this entire. It is impossible to destroy."

    Chen Feng frowned. "Oh?" The firmest part of the?

    The technician nodded. "Yes. This unique era didn¡¯t just affect the life-forms of this. Even the core was affected and transformed. How should I put this... That is a ce that can no longer be described using science. Regardless of who it is, entering the core is an act of suicide."

    "Why is that?" Chen Feng was astonished. A technician that did not possess much understanding of gic abilities would actually be so sure of this fact.

    "Because..." The technician inhaled before continuing, "...that is a ce where all abilities are rendered ineffective."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes widened. "What?"

    "All abilities will be rendered ineffective," the technician repeated. "Regardless of what one uses, either unique abilities or unique methods, upon reaching the core, all abilities will be instantly deactivated. Regardless of what ability or method you have, it will be useless there."

    Deactivated...

    Chen Feng frowned. Gic abilities were the only things gic warriors could rely on. The moment they were deactivated, a gic warrior would be as good as a cripple even in the outside world, let alone in the core. Chen Feng recalled the frozen sea. Back then, the scariest aspect of that ce had been its effect of rendering one¡¯s abilities ineffective before killing one instantly. This resembled the core greatly. The only difference was the location, as at the core, one would have no ce to escape.

    Hold on...

    Chen Feng looked at the outlines drawn on the screen. How about these guys?

    The technician smiled bitterly. "Right, that¡¯s what we are most worried about. Numerous experts were deployed there previously, yet all of them were instantly killed upon arrival. That is a ce nobody can survive. Yet these life-forms..."

    So that¡¯s why. Chen Feng¡¯s expression became solemn as he finally realized how grave this was. The main point wasn¡¯t the effectiveness of gic abilities down there at the core. Rather, those unknown existences were the main point here.

    A ce that humanity still couldn¡¯t enter even after the joint effort of Research Agency and Gic Union but where, in an unfathomable manner, some bizarre life-forms had appeared, moving around down there like they were on the surface instead. They had even caused a tremor that had shaken the entire world. This could be considered a light tremor. If they were to truly do something crazy down there, such as creating arger tremor, thus creating numerous disaster-level earthquakes worldwide, humanity wouldn¡¯t be that far off from extinction. The core was indeed extremely solid, seemingly incapable of being destroyed, yet this fact was only proven for humans.

    The technician was anxious. "We must deal with this. We must figure out what exactly those fellows are. Are they life-forms that came into existence naturally at the core? Or perhaps..." He paused and then continued, "They are humans."

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. Humans... Although they only had a rough outline of the shapes and couldn¡¯t see clearly, what they could see greatly resembled humans. If these were truly humans...

    "Is there any other news?" Chen Feng asked.

    The technician shook his head. "No. Since their appearance, they have been staying there all this while."

    "What are you guys nning to do?" Chen Feng asked. There were countless geniuses of multiple disciplines in both the Research Agency and Gic Union. Although these people¡¯s strength was rather ordinary, they would still be able to help think of some solutions.

    "We have already proposed and started a n. The blue-diamond senior from the ancient race seems to be able to send people directly to the depths of the core. As such, we at the Research Agency created suits that were supposed to grant immunity to the damage dealt by the core, with some extra survival functions integrated into the suits as well. With this, we thought we might be able to encounter those life-forms," the technician reported honestly.

    "What¡¯s the result of that?" Chen Feng had a rough guess.

    The technician¡¯s expression darkened. "All dead. They are extremely powerful. All our people were instantly killed before we were able to gather any data."

    The cameras they had installed had been destroyed before the cameras had even been able to capture the appearance of those life-forms.

    "What is the assessment of their strength?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Unknown." The technicians shook his head. "However, the people we sent were all pure beyond-A-ss warriors with formidable physical prowess even without any gic abilities."

    If the Gic Union were sending people there, they would definitely send the elites.

    Beyond A sses...

    Instantly killed...

    Could those people be awakened ones? How was that possible? Chen Feng shook his head. It seemed like these neers were definitely not simple. However, Chen Feng was still feeling doubtful, as all this seemed too weird. The Research Agency had monitored the core for so many years, yet not a single life-form had been found.

    That was the core, not some unknown region. If so, where had those fellowse from? After the integration of the humans and ancients, at present, only the ocean remained unexplored on this. Could it be that these fellows hade from the depths of the ocean?

    "Beyond A ss... Instantly killed... Awakened..." Chen Feng frowned. Suddenly, his eyes widened as he seemingly recalled something. Abruptly, he charged toward the screen, fixed his gaze on the outlines, and said, "Erge their heads."

    Shua!

    "Yes, this part, their temples. Erge it. More!"

    The crude looking outlines were erged. Immediately, Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed. Even if the outlines appeared incredibly crude and had a lot of details missing, Chen Feng was still able to see something familiar there... On two sides of their heads, two things could be seen protruding out. Those seemed to be... twin horns!

 Chapter 645: This World Is Too Dangerous

    Chapter 645: This World Is Too Dangerous

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the depths of the core, a faint radiance was swirling about. A brand-new camp had been built here at this ce where a mysterious aura pervaded. Several life-forms with twin horns on their heads were seemingly observing the environment here.

    "The camp has been built."

    "The coordinates have been confirmed. We are building a teleportation tunnel."

    "How long will it take?"

    "Ten days."

    "Very good," the leader said.

    Ten days...

    After only ten more days, everyone in their world could descend. They had been trapped at the Twin Horns World for way too long... so long that they had already forgotten their origin, to the point that they had forgotten that this was in fact the they had originated from. However, despite the fact that the time for the mass arrival had already been set, the captain leading this team was still somewhat doubtful, a nk expression on his face.

    The rest were curious as they saw this. "What¡¯s up?"

    "There are still some things I am worried about."

    "Oh?"

    Anxiousness surfaced on his face. "For example, who is the one who suddenly sent the coordinates of this ce to us?" After Chen Feng¡¯s departure, he had believed that he would forever be unable to reach this. However, just as they had been about to give up, they had received some coordinates. At that time, they who had given up input the coordinates and sent their strongest vanguard team to enter. That had led to everything that had happened next on this. They had returned and had been extremely excited to be back. However... who had delivered the coordinates to them?

    The person beside him frowned and pondered for a bit before saying, "Perhaps it was merely a coincidence? People who have fallen into spatial currents will send distress signals out. Although most of the time, the signals won¡¯t work, they still try sending signals anyway. Maybe the coordinates we received was a distress signal sent by a human trapped amid the spatial currents? Perhaps this was a coordinate he sent when he had just fallen into the spatial currents, before the currents could sweep him away?

    "At the same time, we, who were looking for signals, received it and rushed over immediately. Although we didn¡¯t arrive in time to rescue that person, we still arrived on his world. This would precisely be the ce that was near where that person was swept into the spatial currents," that person analyzed calmly. As the scout of the vanguard, he was normally good at logical deductions.

    The captain gave it some thought and agreed that such a possibility could be true. "That is possible." These years, they had received coordinates numbering in the tens of thousands, yet only a very few of them had been useful, let alone them being the coordinates of a with life on it. After so many trash coordinates, it was about time they had received useful coordinates for once.

    The captain nodded. "That would be for the best." He truly wanted to believe thispletely. However, as the captain of the vanguard, he had to keep watch on the general situation and consider all possibilities. Based on his judgment, the possibility of this being true was around 10%. There was another possibility...

    "What is the other possibility?" the other person asked.

    "Chen Feng!" the captain said without hesitation.

    "Ah?"

    The others were somewhat stupefied. Chen Feng? The little guy who had just entered the awakened realm? How could this rte to him?

    "Think about it. Is it possible that these coordinates were sent by Chen Feng?" The captain paused.

    "What?"

    Everyone¡¯s expression changed greatly. Initially, they hadn¡¯t thought of this. Now that the captain had reminded them, everyone was sweating profusely. If it was truly Chen Feng...

    "Luring us here to kill us?"

    They were instantly horrified. Thest person that had transmigrated to their world was Chen Feng. And yet, this time, they had been able to appear here. Was this purely coincidence? If Chen Feng had told his n or the other experts of this world about the Twin Horns World after returning to this world, if those formidable existences found out about the Twin Horns World...

    As they considered this, they took in a deep breath in shock.

    Hiss¡ª

    Their expressions became solemn. "How cruel!" At this time, they could no longer believe in a so-called coincidence.

    The moment they considered this possibility, they were certain that this was most definitely the work of that Chen Feng! Naturally, the only thing they could rejoice about was the fact that they had actually appeared at the core.

    "I suppose that, at present, the human world is alreadyden with traps waiting for us. The moment we leave, we will be discovered by the humans," the captain said in a gloomy voice.ary transportation was already a process that used vague coordinates in the first ce, since they would only have the coordinates of the and would arrive at a random location within. The humans had to have already prepared for their arrival. Fortunately, their ce of arrival was the core. Otherwise...

    "What should we do, then?"

    They were all anxious. As they thought about the traps and humans waiting at the surface to kill them, they couldn¡¯t help being anxious. They were rather fearful of the so-called Gic Era Chen Feng had mentioned before.

    "Why don¡¯t we go out and scout the strength of this world first?" someone suggested. They hadn¡¯t been back for long. The only contact they¡¯d had with anything of this world was Chen Feng¡¯s arrival to their world. As such, they urgently needed to understand this world.

    The captain rejected the proposal. "No, it¡¯s too dangerous. We can roughly guess the strength of this world. The words of Chen Feng can¡¯t be believed. However, his identity is something worth considering. Have you forgotten his strength back then? A young man of 20 years old was actually able to enter the awakened realm. This is rather astonishing. If this world is filled with such awakened ones..." He was filled with anxiousness as he continued, "...This might very well be a world where awakened ones walk everywhere."

    As the rest heard this, their mood became heavy. True, if the strength system of this world was so scary, if Chen Feng had merely been a youngster sent out on a trip to temper himself, so what if they were finally able to return to this world? So what if this was a big world?

    If they were to leave and were discovered, they would most probably die. They were here as the vanguard to reconnoiter this, not to feed Chen Feng.

    Their expressions became solemn. "So that¡¯s the case."

    "Remember. Before the main team arrives, do not leave. We can¡¯t attract their attention. Regardless of whether this world is presently strong or weak, we must remain low profile and observe this world silently. We must calmly await the arrival of our lord." That person spoke of the lord with a respectful expression. "Only when our lord descends upon this world will we be able to kill our way out and carve out a piece of territory for our race. That will be our sole superiority."

    "Yes!"

    They all epted their orders. They were aware that only when that lord arrived would they be able to strike back against the people of this. Once again, the core sunk into silence. Each of them reduced their breath to the bare minimum, afraid of attracting the attention of outsiders. Only the teleportation node near them was flickering without stop.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Their gaze swept over. They knew that after 10 days, the teleportation tunnel would bepleted. They were merely the vanguard. Only when the true experts of the Twin Horns World arrived would it be time for them to make their debut on this world.

    The ambushes of the humans...

    Luring them over to be killed...

    We will not fail like this!

 Chapter 646: Attack into the Core

    Chapter 646: Attack into the Core

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Gic Union.

    Chen Feng was looking at the scanned image anxiously. Looking at the vague outline of twin horns, he wondered how those terrifying fellows had arrived at this world. He hadn¡¯t stayed at the Twin Horns World for long, yet from his short time at the arena, he had been able to gain a rough understanding of the strength of that world.

    On that world, those below the awakened realm were only qualified to work at the arena to provide entertainment for the masses. Only an awakened one could stand out among his peers. Beyond this realm, there was an existence even more terrifying, an existence he had once overheard Ruo Shui mention as the lord, or something like that.

    As such, the first thing Chen Feng had done after returning was get Kong Bai to erase all traces of their transmigration. Unexpectedly, those fellows had still arrived here, and during such a crucial moment for this too.

    Chen Feng let out a long breath. "Hu¡ª"

    The primordial power that hadtched onto Xie Zhongtong¡¯s body...

    The Mysterious Town under the control of Research Agency...

    The twin-horns race that had appeared suddenly at the core...

    This seemingly peaceful world had, at an unknown time, suffered significant damage. Chen Feng had an ominous premonition.

    "I will have to deal with them one at a time, then." Chen Feng pondered. The first two issues were rted to primordial power, and he couldn¡¯t do anything about them. At present, he could only try to deal with the twin-horns race. Those terrifying fellows had appeared at the core for unknown reasons. Chen Feng wasn¡¯t worried that they would destroy this. This was huge and incredibly sturdy. Destroying this would be even harder than wiping out the humans on it.

    The only thing he was worried about was the tremors they had caused before. If those fellows tried using the core to cause a huge disaster on the surface world, things would be very troublesome.

    Core...

    Tremor...

    Chen Feng frowned. He was still somewhat doubtful. To a certain extent, he understood the people of the Twin Horns World. Those people did not have particrly powerful physiques. If the core was capable of rendering all abilities ineffective, how were those people surviving down there?

    Chen Feng raised a brow. "Their abilities can still be used down there."

    The technician shook his head. "That¡¯s impossible. We tested it previously. That ce..."

    Chen Feng shook his head. "No, the abilities I am referring to are awakened abilities."

    The technician scratched his head. "Oh." They truly hadn¡¯t conducted any tests on awakened abilities. After all, that was something they had never touched upon before. Huh? Hold on. His eyes widened and he looked at Chen Feng. "Are you saying that all of them are awakened ones?"

    Chen Feng nodded. "Yes."

    "How is that possible..." the technician cried out in rm. Those fellows at the core were all awakened ones? One ought to know that among humans, Chen Feng was the only awakened one. As for those fellows...

    He looked at Chen Feng. "How do you know that?"

    Chen Feng gave a rough exnation of what he knew.

    Alien world...

    Twin horns...

    The technician took all this in quickly and recorded everything down before entering a contemtion, seemingly rearranging the new information he had gained.

    "If they are truly awakened ones... Let me think about it... A lot of things can now be exined." The technician rearranged all the data quickly and exined, "The core prevents the usage of abilities. However, they are all awakened ones and are not under such restrictions. That is also why all the beyond-A-ss warriors we sent were killed instantly. Since we had no understanding of the enemy, we weren¡¯t able to evaluate them properly, but now..."

    Hepared the data they had gathered with what Chen Feng had given him. "Based on the damage the gic warriors received when they were killed, we can judge that the strength they demonstrated was around 20% of the awakened strength you registered back then. If so, I judge that they must have been influenced somewhat by the core as well. The awakened strength they can muster has been weakened by at least 80%." The technician reached a conclusion quickly. "There are five of them, with each being an awakened with only 20% of their strength."

    Chen Feng gasped at the analytical capability of this technician. Impressive.

    The technician had only said this out loud to exin to Chen Feng. On the screen, lots of data shed past without stop. Evidently, this conclusion had been reached and verified after countless calctions. Worthy of being a specialist indeed. However, even if they only had 20% of their awakened strength, they were still not something beyond A sses could contend against. The Gic Union simply had no means of eliminating them. At present, humans were still too weak.

    "We will have to rely on you for this," the technician said with a bitter smile.

    "I know." Chen Feng looked at the data analyzed by the technician silently. Five awakened ones, huh...

    It might seem very tempting to make a move on them with their 20% strength. However, even if Chen Feng and Duma both went there, they would simrly be restricted by the core as well and would only be able to muster 20% of their strength. Moreover, the present Duma was no different than a cripple.

    Chen Feng¡¯s head ached. "Let me think about it..." The position and strength of the enemy had been ascertained. However, they just couldn¡¯t defeat the enemy. What else could they do? Ordinary abilities werepletely restricted, and awakened abilities were weakened by 80% down there.

    Mhm...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. Perhaps... there is still a way. "Prepare the best equipment immediately."

    "Yes."

    "Bring along all the detection equipment as well. These fellows might very well be the vanguard of the Twin Horns World. We must capture a few of them for research."

    "Yes."

    Chen Feng sneered. "Let us meet them with force for once, then."

    Time passed silently.

    At the depths of the core, the twin-horns members were silently awaiting thepletion of their teleporter.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The teleporter glowed with a faint radiance, yet no connection had been established yet. It was already the third day. The teleporter had already progressed to a certain degree. Everyone waited there and erased the undtions of the teleporter with their mighty prowess, preventing this from being leaked out.

    "How much longer?"

    "Five days. Things are progressing much smoother than we imagined."

    "Excellent." The captain nodded before looking at a different person. "How¡¯s the energy test?"

    "The activity level of the energy is rather low. Our abilities are somewhat weakened," that person stated.

    "Mhm." The captain nodded, not too bothered about that.

    Since they were on a different, the activity level of the energy here would be different. Naturally, the might disyed by the same abilities would be different as a result. However, something like this would affect everyone, Chen Feng included. If everyone was simrly weakened, nothing would change during battle.

    The captain looked at themunication crew. "Has the connection been established with them?"

    "Nope." That person shook his head. "The barrier around this world is too powerful. Before the teleporter ispleted, no connection will be possible. However, we can send a one way pre-recorded message back."

    The captain nodded. "That¡¯s better than nothing." The faster they could send a message back, the faster they could start preparing. Soon, the preparations to send the message werepleted.

    The captain coughed before starting to report their gains during this trip. "Presently, we have just arrived on the human world. This world is muchrger than we imagined. From the energy intensity at the core, this is muchrger than the Twin Horns World. The activity level of the energy here is rather low. Perhaps that is a result of the suppression of some powerful force. We have yet to encounter the inhabitants of this world..."

    Suddenly, a booming explosion resounded.

    Bang!

    Above them, a hole had been sted open. From it, a bright and resplendent blue shed, and numerous figuresnded loudly on the ground.

    "Who is it?" The expressions of the twin-horns members changed greatly. From the hole, numerous figures descended. The one leading them all was an extremely familiar person.

    "Chen Feng!" The captain was rmed as he saw Chen Feng.

    "Hehe." Chen Feng merely sneered before waving his hand. "Go!"

    Bang!

    All the figures charged forth.

    The vanguard members were all furious. "Courting death." What they feared were the awakened ones of this world. This did not mean that they feared Chen Feng. This was especially true since all these people brought by Chen Feng were unawakened. The captain nced around and noted that all of them were unawakened ones. All of them were trash!

    Bang!

    The powerful power belonging to awakened ones bloomed.

    They bombarded those figures immediately. s, they were all rmed to find that all their attacks were ineffective whennding on those figures. Those figures had taken on all the attacks with their bodies and weren¡¯t even slowed down in their charge.

    "Kill!" With numerous shouts, those figures charged at the twin-horns members.

    The expressions of the twin-horns members changed greatly. "What should we do?"

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Once again, numerous powerful awakened powers bloomed as numerous energy balls exploded midair, sweeping toward those charging figures. s, rmingly, those figures... continued to ignore all attacks. They were immune to all attacks and moved quickly and violently, like ferocious beasts, petrifying the twin-horns members.

 Chapter 647: Too Scary

    Chapter 647: Too Scary

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The captain looked at these people in fear. "You guys are..."

    Pu!

    A punch came flying. The captain felt a surging forcend on his body before sting his internal organs into a mess.

    Bang!

    Just like that, his awakened body was smashed apart.

    Hum¡ª

    Energy shed about as light swirled around the captain¡¯s body, restoring his body once again. On the face of this newly built body, fear was stered. Before he could even do anything, another punchnded, and once again, his body was smashed apart.

    One time, two times, three times...

    Pop!

    Pop!

    The continuous sounds of meat being pummeled were petrifying. The body of an awakened was so powerful that it should be unequaled, yet here, this awakened fellow was being ravaged like a punching bag to the point that he couldn¡¯t even fight back. They were actually suffering a one-sided beatdown.

    The captain was thoroughly dumbstruck. "This is impossible." They were awakened ones. They were the elites of the Twin Horns World! They were the experts of the vanguard. Why had they failed to even beat a few humans here on this? This wasn¡¯t possible! He looked at the ck uniform those figures were wearing...

    Oh...

    Right, it had to be the suits they were wearing! Due to the suits, their enemies were immune to their attacks. The captain guessed that the development of the awakened ones on this was probably much higher than their Twin Horns World. That was why they had suits and other methods capable of countering the awakened ones.

    In that case... The captain¡¯s eyes shed. All will be fine if their suits are torn apart!

    Bang!

    He gave the order decisively. All the twin-horns members that were being ravaged erupted with their respective trump cards at the same time. A terrifying force swept out. Their sole objective was tearing apart these people¡¯s suits.

    Bang! Bang!

    The core became as bright as day from all the powerful attacks being unleashed. Indeed, under the joint attacks of the twin-horns members, the suits were finally torn apart. Finally, the true appearance of these figures was revealed. However, the twin-horns members were instead stupefied by what they saw.

    What were they seeing? Children?

    Those figures dressed in ck suits were actually all young kids! All of them looked around 15 or 16 years old, even younger than Chen Feng!

    "All 15- and 16-year-old kids..."

    "How is this possible..."

    They were all rendered speechless. Wait, they had to have been so strong because of the suits...

    Shua!

    One of the twin-horns members unleashed his awakened power. Next, with his very own eyes, he watched as his attack exploded on the body of one of those kids yet no damage whatsoever was dealt.

    ...

    At this, all the twin-horns members sank into silence.

    Kids...

    Fifteen, sixteen years old...

    Immune to awakened attacks...

    Holy shit, the human world had developed to such an extent? Their hearts chilled.

    "Take them down," Chen Fengmanded coldly.

    Shua!

    The kids swarmed the twin-horns members. With great sorrow, the twin-horns members discovered that they werepletely helpless before these kids.

    "Remember," the captain howled toward the message he had been recording earlier, "never... ever...e..."

    Bang!

    His eyes darkened as he was punched into unconsciousness.

    "What was he saying?" Chen Feng frowned as he looked at the unconscious twin-horns members. Next, he got someone to destroy the teleportation formation before getting brother blue diamond of the ancient race to send them back. Chen Feng was extremely satisfied with this mission.

    The¡¯s core... was truly a wonderful ce! Due to the terrain, awakened power was weakened by 80% there. He had specifically selected the most elite of the children among the barbarians and gathered a bunch of barbarian kids with energy immunity reaching 95% or above. When the natural weakened statebined with the barbarian kids¡¯ immunity, the awakened ones were reduced to nothing.

    With the powerful bloodline of the barbarians, they had taught these twin horns fellows what true strength was. Next, he would have to consider how to study these fellows. After all, these were twin-horns members... If Chen Feng¡¯s guess was correct, their ancestors were once from this as well. For some unknown reason, they had moved away.

    A race with twin horns? Chen Feng wondered if they were rted to Teletubbies or not.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng and the rest vanished from the core gradually.

    After they left, a transparent undtion vanished amid the space. This was the imprint left behind by the twin-horns members.

    Hum¡ª

    This clump of energy traveled through space and finally returned to the Twin Horns World. There, the Twin Horns World had already assembled their troops. They were ready for the expedition. Everyone was filled with joy and was looking forward to leaving this crude and small, returning to the legendary huge. Everyone waited longingly for thepletion of their teleporter.

    s...

    Bang!

    With a loud boom, the teleporter exploded. Everyone was dumbfounded. Exploded?

    "What happened?"

    They were all rmed. Just as they were in the midst of bewilderment, that clump of energy returned noiselessly andnded on a microphone. Next, the message sent by the vanguard captain was yed.

    "Cough, cough."

    "At present, we have just arrived at the human world. This world is muchrger..."

    A familiar voice could be heard speaking. Everyone looked over instinctively. s, not long after, they heard rming news from the speaker.

    Chen Feng...

    Kids 15 to 16 years old...

    A one-sided beatdown...

    All this caused their hearts to palpitate in fear. This was especially true for the final words of the captain. The entirety of the Twin Horns World sunk into silence. Tens of thousands of awakened ones paled as they heard all this. They were awakened ones in their 30s and were considered elites to have been able to awaken at such an age. Unexpectedly, on that world, the humans were actually that powerful even at 15 or 16 years old?

    Humans... were truly scary...

    This was clearly a higher-level! In other words, the Twin Horns World was a low-tier martial world, whereas the human world was evidently a high-tier martial world.

    "Perhaps... these are the only experts they have?" one person meekly said. The rest looked at him like they were looking at an idiot.

    "Our Twin Horns World is too small and is incapable of containing a great poption, but the human world is different. Based on what we heard from those who identally arrived at this world back then, the human world has a poption surpassing a hundred million. Our only hope was for that world to possess ordinarybat power, or perhaps we could settle at some part of the they had yet to discover. But now, it seems like..."

    Everyone sunk into silence. Countless years had been spent looking for a way back to their home.

    Now, they had indeed found the way back. Unfortunately, the human world was already so terrifying. The vanguard had only arrived three days ago and had been hiding at the core all along, yet they had already been discovered? How scary were the humans? None of them knew!

    The humans had a poption surpassing a hundred million. Among the sea of awakened ones they had, how strong would the elites be? Even if their lord was with them... could he be victorious? They had no idea, and they did not dare take this gamble.

    "Our only superiority is the fact that the humans have yet to discover our coordinates. However, if we keep sending people over, it is very possible that we might be the ones being invaded instead..."

    "Yes."

    Everyone agreed with this. They still remembered clearly how easily Chen Feng had transmigrated around. The humans¡¯ study of transmigration and spatial teleportation could very well be much more advanced than their own.

    "Therefore... we must never act rashly. We must prepare fully. When we enter that world next time, we must ensure that we can at least survive on that. We do not even need to try to defeat the humans. We only need to survive... to keep living on the humans¡¯ world! Presently, we are still too weak. Let¡¯s... postpone this n to enter the human world for now."

 Chapter 648: The Care from a High-Tier Martial World

    Chapter 648: The Care from a High-Tier Martial World

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Research Agency.

    The research of the twin-horns race had officially started. After finding out about the strength of the Twin Horns World from Chen Feng, they did not dare to ck and vowed to figure out the truth behind the appearance of these twin-horns members in this world. Why had theye? How had theye? All of these were things they had to find out. The captured twin horns were telling everything they knew.

    "Our ancestors were once inhabitants of this as well. They identally fell into that piece of space. As the amount of the fallen ones increased, the new generation started a new life there, creating the present Twin Horns World.

    "It¡¯s real. Everything I have said is the truth. Why did wee? Well, the Twin Horns World is too small. After all, that is simply a piece of space. Although we call it a world, in fact, it is the remains of a space created by a lord. Therefore, as the energy of that space started drying out, the living space there started shrinking as well. Everyone has no choice but to think of a way to leave there.

    "How¡¯s the strength? Our strength there is very weak. Only the most outstanding of our soldiers are able to awaken. The ordinary people can only reach the peak of the unawakened realm, unlike your world..."

    The captain sighed deeply, evidently ashamed by how weak the Twin Horns World was despite all these years of development. "There¡¯s really no helping it. The resources on the Twin Horns World are too low in amount and can only support so many people. If we had too many awakened ones, the speed at which our world dried up would probably increase."

    ...

    At a different location, the Gic Union president, Research Agency, and the higher-ups of the Gene Production Association were listening in to the questioning. As they heard this, they all sunk into silence, feeling as if they had just been pped in the face.

    Limited resources, my ass! Even with limited resources, you fellows are already so amazing. If you guys weren¡¯t limited by resources, perhaps you guys would even be able to reach the heavens?

    "Around how many awakened ones do you guys have?" Chen Feng asked.

    The twin-horns captain sighed shamefully. "Only around a hundred thousand."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    A hundred thousand...

    The twin-horns captain had looked at the screen as he¡¯d answered. Instantly, the president and the rest trembled. The threat of this twin-horns race was muchrger than they had imagined. Such a terrifying race...

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "How did you guys arrive here?"

    "How? We have no idea. Our research into space was stuck for a long time. The other day, we identally received a distress signal. Surprisingly, after inputting the coordinates, we truly arrived on this. I am only the vanguard. These are the only things I know." The captain put forth his guess: "I suspect that this distress signal was sent by some awakened human that encountered some misfortune."

    Human awakened...

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. The twin-horns members¡¯ guess was rather logical. However, they were wrong, as in fact, there were no other awakened humans. Beyond the newbie awakened Chen Feng, there was no second awakened one. Had it been Duma? Not possible. Based on what Qin Hai had said, Duma had been spending his time recovering these days. He imed that turtle meat was nutritious and had been cooking and resurrecting the little turtle without stop these days.

    If so, he shouldn¡¯t have the extra time to do something like this. Who had it been, then? Chen Feng sank into contemtion. Chen Feng pondered. Perhaps this was the work of that damnable pink power? Apart from him and Duma, the pink power was probably the only one capable of this. At present, Xie Zhongtong was the pink power.

    Chen Feng contemted. "Looks like I have to start paying more attention to her."

    "You seem to be answering everything we ask?" Li Lei said with a smile.

    "That is natural," the captain answered. "As long as it is something I know, I will cooperate earnestly. In actual fact, we are merely looking for a ce we can live peacefully. We never intended to wage war on humans."

    "Is that so?" Chen Feng asked with a faint smile. Peace my ass. If we hadn¡¯t discovered this fast enough, we would have been eliminated by the twin-horns race before even realizing what was happening.

    The captainughed dryly. "Of course! Your world is a high-tier martial world, while we, the insignificant twin-horns race, are merely from a minor world with a low-tier martial level. We would not dare to even dream such ridiculous dreams!"

    ...

    Chen Feng and the rest sunk into silence.

    High-tier martial...

    Low-tier martial...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone as he felt like he was on to something here.

    "Have the twin-horns race truly built a connection with this?" Chen Feng asked with a serious expression.

    Suddenly, the captain paled. "No! Absolutely not!"

    "Oh?" Chen Feng¡¯s gaze became sharp.

    "Really, there¡¯s no connection!" the captain swore. "We only had a unidirectional connection. That is why we were sent to first reconnoiter this. After your surprise attack, I transmitted a message back before destroying the connection."

    Chen Feng was stunned. "You destroyed the connection?"

    The captain smiled bitterly. "Yes."

    Interesting...

    Chen Feng was now sure that he had guessed correctly, and he pushed on. "In that case, how should one enter the Twin Horns World?"

    The captain shook his head. "...That is not possible. All possible routes have been sealed off."

    "I have one more question." Chen Feng smiled faintly. "What if we were to send some coordinates to them to lure them over, just like how you guys arrived in the first ce."

    Shua!

    The captain¡¯s body chilled. However, as he thought of what he had done earlier, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, "No, that¡¯s not possible. Even if you guys were to send coordinates over, they would note. Before I was taken away by you guys, I already sent a message to them. They are already clear on the strength of humans. At the very least, they will absolutely note before they have surpassed humans in strength." The captain looked at Chen Feng. "You should just give up on this."

    He felt like this fellow called Chen Feng was the most terrifying of all. He was strong, and his schemes were deep as well. He was actually thinking of using such a method to lure the people of the Twin Horns World? This was too excessive! His "How did you guys arrive" question earlier had totally been a trap! That had simply been a test to see if the captain had been speaking the truth. The captain was absolutely certain that the coordinates they had received had been sent by Chen Feng. That had to be the case.

    "Anything else you ask, I will answer to the best of my ability. As for entering the Twin Horns World..." The captain shook his head resolutely. "That is not possible. I reckon they severed all connections the moment they received the message I sent. You have no way of locating them anymore."

    Chen Feng smiled. "Is that so?"

    Di¡ª

    His wristband buzzed.

    The investigation result was being transmitted to him by the Research Agency. "We have indeed discovered traces of the transmittance of something there. However, everything seems to have been destroyed already..."

    "Got it."

    Finally, this burden was lifted from Chen Feng¡¯s heart.

    The captain was overjoyed as well. "You all have no chance of finding our world." Excellent, those guys had indeed received his message.

    "I know." There were no changes in Chen Feng¡¯s expression.

    "Ours is but a small world where life is hard. It is nothing but a crippled world. Why must you guys insist on destroying our world?" The captain smiled bitterly and spoke cautiously. "As the ruler of this huge world, I believe you guys do not even care about the tiny bit of resources we have. So long as you do not do anything that willpromise our world, I will cooperate in whatever way you want me to."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "Is that so?"

    The captain nodded solemnly. "Yes." For the future of the Twin Horns World, he was willing to sacrifice everything. Moreover, he had once studied the cultures of numerous alien worlds. He was sure that as someone from a low-tier martial world, he was nothing in a high-tier martial world like this, let alone when he was but a mere prisoner.

    As such, he absolutely had to express his willingness to submit, then wait for a chance...

    He believed that a day woulde when the twin-horns race would descend upon this world! When that lord woke up, he woulde with hisrades. At that time, the Twin Horns World would be able to dominate this world!

    "Good." Chen Feng was pleased with this captain¡¯s performance thus far. "Well then, eat this thing first." Chen Feng gave him several bottles of gene reagents. "You are still too weak, not even worth studying. Eat these and increase your strength so you can be qualified to be our test subject."

    The captain smiled bitterly. "All right." Even with his strength, he was still too weak to even serve as a test subject? Well, that was understandable. After all, this was a high-tier martial world.

    Gulp.

    He poured the gene reagents down his throat. He had no idea what they were. However, amazingly, he could feel his strength rising after consuming them. It was a tiny improvement, however...

    He was endlessly amazed. "One can actually improve in strength this way?"

    Even back on the Twin Horns World, his strength had been stuck for a very long time. Yet here on the human world, with a mere gene reagent, his strength had increased. This was truly too terrifying!

    "Not bad." Chen Feng was very satisfied with his performance. "We can supply you this thing without limit. Increase your strength until you can no longer increase it first. Afterward, we will give you even higher-tier things to use."

    "All right." The captain was happy. In any case, increasing one¡¯s strength was something joyous. And thus, in this lowest floor of the Research Agency, the ce where the security was the strictest, in theboratory jointly constructed by Chen Feng and Duma, the twin-horns captain started increasing his strength rapidly.

    Gulp!

    Gulp!

    Numerous gene reagents were poured down his throat. His strength increased without stop. Each bottle of gene reagent only granted a minute increase. However, with the huge amount of gene reagents supplied, his progress was still great. Around him was nothing but an area of white. This so-calledboratory was in fact something constructed with the twin-horns arena as a reference. As such, he wasn¡¯t unfamiliar with this environment.

    This was evidently the work of Chen Feng. Even as a prisoner, the captain wasn¡¯t mistreated. Rather, he was given good food and drinks, and lots of mysterious entertainment was provided without limit. TV shows, movies, games, everything was provided. He only needed to contribute some of this blood essence or contribute his body for them to study asionally.

    The generosity of humans indeed surprised him. Worthy of being inhabitants of a high-tier world! The captain was mncholic. Perhaps, in the eyes of these humans, their tiny world was nothing. This was the bearing of a high-tier world! Humans were truly amazing! This was all the captain thought. His good life continued until one day when he realized that his breasts were getting more and more plump. Only at this point did he start noticing that something did not seem right.

    Research Agency.

    Chen Feng was looking at thetest recordings. Feminization. This had been Chen Feng¡¯s initial goal. After what had happened to the ancients, he was now certain that after the target was feminized, their state of mind would change slowly as well. After the transformation, the target would be much easier to interact with. At the very least, if they maintained their rationality, it would be too easy for them to see through the humans¡¯ true strength.

    Therefore, transforming them into females and then locking them in theboratory forever to serve as test subjects, squeezing information about the twin-horns race from them, was the most apt course of action. From thetest recordings, it seemed like this was a feasible n. At the very least, the feminization gene reagent was effective even on the awakened twin-horns race members.

    "How¡¯s the status of the target?" Chen Feng asked.

    "At first, the target was very shocked and couldn¡¯t ept it. However, after a period of time, the target was able to calm down and is now handling it better," the staffer replied.

    "Has he ever doubted the gene reagent?" Chen Feng asked.

    The staffer shook his head. "No. We have been feigning innocence and have even asked him if the changes are due to his body being not limatized to this. We asked if the target was feeling any unusual emotions..." At this, an odd expression appeared on the staffer¡¯s face. "Initially, we only wanted to mislead the target and erase their doubt. Unexpectedly, the counterparty is truly feeling an unusual set of emotions. As such, we yed along and led him along..."

    "Huh?" Chen Feng was astonished. There was a surprise harvest?

    "This was what happened." The staffer exined in detail. "When we asked if he was feeling an unusual set of emotions, he said frankly that he had been crying frequently recently. Since he was rather interested in the entertainment of humans, he had been watching a lot of TV shows recently as well. A short while ago, he had even beenpletely hooked on some soap opera."

    Chen Feng was dumbstruck. "Soa... soap opera?"

    "Yes. In one shot, he watched 72 episodes of a soap opera where the male lead suffered from an ident and the female lead suffered from cancer, 38 episodes of soap operas where the male lead and female lead find out they are actually biological siblings, and around 30 episodes of soap operas with storylines featuring tragic memory loss. He cried rivers of tears while watching. He said that it seemed like his emotions started losing control from that point onward," the staffer finished with a cold expression.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Holy shit, soap operas could be used in such a manner?

    "Next, we told him that this might be a normal side effect of an alien life-form arriving on an alien world. Since we have never encountered an alien life-form, we requested his cooperation and told him that such soap operas are something generally only watched by human females. If one watched too many of them, one might suffer from some side effects..." the staffer said with a serious expression.

    "Next?" Chen Feng asked.

    The staffer had a t expression. "He believed everything we said."

    Chen Feng: ...This works?

    "Therefore, recently, when we are working on him, he has been cooperating fully. Moreover, he has also requested some male TV shows filled with masculinity, or perhaps some such movies," the staffer stated honestly. "Next, we rmended to him some of the hottest male movies of this year: War Dogs 2, Fast and Furious 8, and so on." [1] 1

    Chen Feng: "..."

    This was quite a refined method of operation.

    The staffer continued, "In short, the target has stabilized. These days, he ispletely hooked up with these soap operas and movies. asionally, he will tell us something about the Twin Horns World. Although he only mentions them briefly, we can gather and rearrange everything into a proper data set."

    "How about that world¡¯s strength system?" Chen Feng asked. For him, the most important thing was the system the Twin Horns World used to ssify different strength levels. At present, apart from mentioning that they had several tens of thousands of awakened ones, there wasn¡¯t anything else.

    The staffer shook his head. "We are still unclear about that. Every time we touched on this topic, he didn¡¯t say much. However, we believe that as time passes, he will tell us about it. A few days ago, we even got Miss Tianyu Liming to cate him. After all, they are all ex-males... As such, they should havemon topics to talk about." The staffer coughed before continuing, "At present, the two are already as close as sisters and talk about everything. I think it won¡¯t be long before he spills everything."

    Chen Feng was astonished. "The president is fine with this?"

    "Oh, I think so," the staffer said after thinking about it.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Being so magnanimous, he was truly worthy of being the president. However, as Chen Feng pondered the matter, it was rather understandable that the president was fine with this. After all, both Tianyu Liming and the target had had their gender changed, and under the full monitoring here, they couldn¡¯t do anything they were not supposed to anyway.

    Chen Feng pondered the matter and said, "I suppose it¡¯s fine that way. I will let you guys handle the matters here, then. Get him to spill everything in the shortest time possible, especially the strength system of the Twin Horns World."

    The staffer nodded. "Understood."

    "How¡¯s the progress on the research of the twin-horns body?" Chen Feng asked. The physical body of a twin-horns member was also a rather rich harvest for them.

    "We are almost done with that," the staffer replied. The study of their bodies, blood, energy, everything had been finished. The only thing that posed a problem so far was those horns.

    "The twin-horns race seemspletely the same as humans apart from their horns. At present, we have yet to discover the usage of those horns. Every time we ask this question, that fellow is unwilling to talk. I think we need more time."

    Chen Feng frowned. "Nothing has been discovered?"

    The staffer reported things thoroughly. "Nope. The target¡¯s strength does not seem to corrte to the horns, yet he still regards them with utmost importance. As such, even now, we still don¡¯t know the reason for that... After our tests, we found that the horns asionally release an undtion at a certain frequency."

    This was everything they had on the horns.

    Frequency...

    Undtion...

    Hold on, could this be a signal? Chen Feng¡¯s expression darkened. Wasn¡¯t this totally Teletubbies, then?

    Chen Feng kneaded his head. "Continue the tests." He refused to believe that those horns were merely there for decoration. "We must figure out everything about them. Although they will temporarily stoping to this world, it is still only a matter of time before they eventuallye," Chen Feng stated. "The mysterious person who transmitted the coordinates to them, figuring out whether what this captain told us the truth or not... All of these are things we must consider thoroughly."

    "Understood," the staffer answered with a solemn expression. He was clear just how important his task was.

    Chen Feng nodded. "Good." The people of the Research Agency were rather unscrupulous when doing their job. With this, it wouldn¡¯t be long before the target fully integrated with humans.

    "Unfortunately, we did not get the coordinates of the Twin Horns World." Chen Feng felt somewhat regretful. "If we had their coordinate, we could airdrop countless feminization gene reagents there. I suppose that after several decades, we would be victorious over them without fighting a single battle."

    The staffer: "..."

    This Chen Feng seemed so very well practiced with such acts of genocide. After leaving the Research Agency, Chen Feng went over to the Gic Union to get some updates. With astonishment, he found that the coordinates sent to the twin-horns race were unrted to Xie Zhongtong at all.

    "Miss Xie has been under our monitoring. At present, she ispletely infatuated with the mass ¡¯assembly¡¯ she¡¯s in and hasn¡¯t done anything else. Everything she has done has already been recorded. If you are interested, you can take a look any time you want. We have ensured that she never leaves our monitoring."

    This was the report received by Chen Feng. They were extremely loyal. But then, for an unknown reason, they seemed rather pale and weakened nowadays...

    As for the recordings, Chen Feng had no interest. He reckoned they only needed to p a code on those videos and they would be good to go to be sold as porno. He had no intention of suffering Han Y¡¯s wrath in the future. Mhm...

    "Continue the monitoring," Chen Feng ordered.

    The two beyond A sses happily agreed to this task. "Yes!"

    "Looks like it¡¯s not Xie Zhongtong." Chen Feng sank into contemtion. It wasn¡¯t Duma, nor was it Xie Zhongtong. Who could it be? Had some mysterious primordial power appeared recently? Or perhaps... Chen Feng shut his eyes. "I will know after taking a look."

    Hum¡ª

    A faint undtion spread out.

    In Chen Feng¡¯s eyes, the entire world seemed to have changed color. He had activated the ability used to search for primordial powers. However, he found that after searching the entire world, only that astonishing pink could be found.

    Nothing else?

    He shook his head. Just as he was about to exit this state, suddenly, numerous formidable auras surged out from this illusory world. Next, the primordial auras erupted.

    "This..." Chen Feng¡¯s eyes widened. The pink seemed to have dimmed, and the formidable auras that had appeared flickered with seven colors before engulfing the entire world. This wasn¡¯t any singr aura. Rather, it was abination of a number of powerful primordial auras.

    "That ce..." Chen Feng gazed in that direction. Ultimately, something had still happened there!

 Chapter 650: Primordial Items

    Chapter 650: Primordial Items

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In a certain deste frontier, a group of people in white uniforms were solemnly waiting for something. Soon, a fully armed armored car slowly hovered over.

    They went forth to wee the arrival of the armored car. "You guys have worked hard." Within the car, an item contained in a transparent ss case was taken out. This item shone with a faint gold glimmer, was very small and seemed like a broken part of a muchrger item.

    "Has it been recorded?"

    "Mhm."

    "Be more careful."

    "Understood."

    They put the item on a floating piece of equipment, trying to maintain its bnce so the item would not fall.

    "Unknown energy."

    "Unknown type."

    "Unable to analyze."

    "With our present technology level, it is not rmended to study this thing. I propose we seal it away."

    The neer passed on the report.

    The person in a white uniform nodded. "Understood." He turned on the screen and scanned the data to input it into the storage before carefully pushing the floating piece of equipment behind him.

    Hum¡ª

    The floating piece of equipment gently floated on. Carrying that item, it left unhurriedly, floating toward a distant town. Along the way, all the staffers looked around as that floating piece of equipment safely entered the depths of the town. There, countless simr items were stored.

    "Item number 2014," the ice-cold voice of the system resounded, "registrationplete, inputplete."

    They heaved a sigh of relief. "Done." Finally, yet another item had been safely sealed away. Not long ago, the appearance of that pink thing had horrified them greatly. Through that, they had gained a clear understanding of how scary the sealed items here could be, even if they were mere fragments and none of them were in theirplete form.

    Their job involved delivering these items here to be sealed away, awaiting the day when humans reached a high enough level to study these things toe and revisit them. However, unknown to them, that fragment they had just delivered into the town did not stop after reaching the depths of the town. Rather, it continued on, seemingly being attracted by some power.

    The floating piece of equipment that should have stopped moving continued on in a certain direction. Distantly, a faint radiance glimmered, shining upon the Mysterious Town.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    In the depths of the town, something seemed to be trembling.

    Shua! Shua!

    The floating piece of equipment stopped gradually as it reached where the light was shining. There, an evenrger item was flickering with light. It could be seen that on a certain corner of this item, a small chip had been broken off, causing it to appear rather iplete. This missing part seemedpletely in harmony with the newly entered fragment.

    Hum¡ª

    Slowly, the two items approached each other.

    Ka!

    With a crisp sound, the two faint golden itemsbined together, not leaving even a crack behind, as if they had always been a single entity.

    Shua!

    The item shone with gold. As the twobined, an astonishing aura erupted.

    Bang! Bang!

    The terrifying gold engulfed the entire town.

    Countless people there were rmed. "What¡¯s up?" With a gaze of disbelief, they looked toward the town that had been silent for so many years, not knowing what was happening inside.

    What¡¯s happening?

    Bang!

    Instantly, a primordial power erupted. The mighty power engulfed and shook the entire town. With the appearance of this aura, the numerous astonishing powers that had been slumbering within the town all appeared together at the same time. These powers were all... primordial powers!

    Bang!

    One!

    Bang!

    Two!

    Bang!

    ...

    The heavens and earth seemed to be changing colors at the appearance of these primordial powers.

    In a short instant, the lights of Mysterious Town flooded the sky, erupting with numerous colors, shining upon the entire world.

    Something had happened at Mysterious Town!

    ...

    At this time, the Gic Union, the Research Agency... everyone that had sensed this set off immediately. s, when they arrived, it was already toote. Mysterious Town could no longer be seen. Where Mysterious Town used to be, only a boundless radiance could be seen. Radiances of a multitude of colors filled their entire vision.

    "Let me." Someone tried entering. However, before he could even approach, his body trembled and he copsed to the ground.

    "Bombard it!"

    The Research Agency deployed their bombers.

    s... it was ineffective as well.

    The dense multicolored radiance seemed capable of resisting all attacks, causing everyone that wanted to attack or enter the town to be helpless. This ce hadpletely fallen to the unknown enemy. Helpless, the Gic Union could only surround this ce, unable to do anything else.

    "Damn it!"

    "What happened?"

    "No idea. I think it is rted to the fragment we sent in today."

    "Did we not confirm that the fragment posed no threat and was the broken part of some item? How could it cause this?"

    The staffer smiled bitterly. "It was indeed a broken part. However... From the final recorded data of the now-destroyed recorder, we saw that the fragmentbined with a certain item within the town."

    "You mean..."

    "That¡¯s right. The item we just sent inside was the broken part of a certain item that we discovered a long time ago. Afterbining together, the primordial item seemed to awaken..."

    "Hiss¡ª"

    As they heard this, they inhaled deeply in shock. Primordial item... awaken...

    Suddenly, they recalled the pink-power incident. Would the Land of Legacy incident rey itself here?

    "Retreat! Leave this ce immediately! Lock down everything 50 kilometers around this ce. Do not allow anyone to enter."

    "Understood."

    Shua!

    The Research Agency acted quickly.

    With the ancients¡¯ Land of Legacy serving as an example, the staffers here made the smart choice and withdrew their forces immediately, then observed from a distance. When Chen Feng arrived, this was what he saw.

    "Everyone has already withdrawn."

    "Within a distance of 50 kilometers, there is only this single town. Nobody else had been affected. In Mysterious Town, there is only a singleplete primordial item. All other items are purely fragments. After the withdrawal of the main group, we tried numerous methods yet were unable to enter," the staffer reported with fear still lingering in his heart.

    Chen Feng gazed at the town. Is that so?

    Hum¡ª

    Around the town, a faint radiance shimmered. Everyone that tried to enter was repelled.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng waved his hand. An illusory shadow shed forth and swirled around before easily entering Mysterious Town.

    "Huh?" The staffers were somewhat dumbstruck as they saw this.

    Just like that?

    It seems like the repelling force of the town is ineffective against awakened ones, Chen Feng realized. As such, this would be much easier to deal with. He had long wanted to enter this town and have a look at the primordial items within. The pink power had only be so powerful because its growth had gone unchecked for too long. As for this primordial item, it had only recently awoken. Perhaps this would be a good chance for him.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s figure shed forth as he entered Mysterious Town. Within the town, numerous colors swirled around. Each of the colors seemed to contain a primordial item blossoming with a charm unique to itself.

    Each color upied its respective region. Although all these primordial items had awoken, it seemed like they repelled each other as well, causing this Mysterious Town to be split into numerous portions. Chen Feng had arrived at the region that used to be the town¡¯s entrance, a region of blue.

    "The first primordial item at the entrance?"

    Chen Feng braced himself for what was toe. However, when he entered, his expression changed greatly as the blue radiance suddenly shone intensely, then erupted with a dreadful force.

    Bang!

    The intense blue radiance surged forth like a tidal wave, instantly submerging Chen Feng.

 Chapter 651: Chaos Is Coming

    Chapter 651: Chaos Is Coming

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the Land of Legacy.

    Duma gazed in the direction of Mysterious Town. "Chen Feng already went over?"

    Qin Hai nodded. "Mhm." The sudden change at Mysterious Town was incredibly suspicious. At a nce, it appeared like some coincidence where a random fragment delivered there turned out to be a broken piece of a certain primordial item discovered countless years ago. As it had been discovered before the era ofputers, that item hadn¡¯t been recorded and nobody had realized this, resulting in this idental reunion. However, if one gave it some serious thought, was that truly the case?

    A primordial fragment... Why were these things called fragments? That was because they were already broken! That war had been too long ago, so long ago that it had practically vanished from history. All the broken primordial items had transformed into countless fragments and disappeared amid the long annals of history. Even the small amount of tiny fragments that had been discovered thus far had all merely been flukes.

    A single primordial item could very well beprised of hundreds or even thousands of fragments. These were what were normally discovered nowadays. Yet for this particr primordial item, only two parts had been required for the item to be whole again? No, that was not supposed to be possible. It would be reasonable for a primordial item to require several hundreds of fragments before it could be whole again.

    Yet discovering such an amount of fragments alone was an impossibility, as most of these fragments had vanished in the truest sense. That was the case for most primordial items contained in Mysterious Town. Yet now... a mere two fragments had made a primordial item whole. Even more coincidental was the fact that this involved a primordial item that had been discovered before the era ofputers, before data had been recorded inputerized databases.

    What a coincidence!

    In any case, Duma refused to believe that such coincidence existed. That was why this incident had to be investigated. Perhaps there was a culprit behind this. For example... the fellow who had lured the twin-horns race over. This fact alone made it a must for them to investigate this thoroughly.

    Duma shook his head. "He¡¯s too rash." There were no problems with Chen Feng¡¯s investigations. The real problem was the fact that the location of this incident was that Mysterious Town! Duma had previous experience handling primordial items. As such, he was clear on how terrifying these items were. Regardless of whether there was a third awakened one lurking around, so long as it was something happening at that town, things would never be simple.

    "Chen Feng alone won¡¯t do. You guys go give him help," Duma said.

    "Only awakened ones can enter that ce," Qin Hai said with a bitter smile. Unawakened ones couldn¡¯t even approach that ce.

    Duma frowned. "Is that so... Let me think of something."

    ...

    At this time, in Mysterious Town, Chen Feng, who had just entered, felt only an intense brightness before him.

    Blue.

    Endless blue.

    Chen Feng was astonished. "Where is this ce?"

    Bang!

    The illusory blue started solidifying. The world before him slowly became distinct. This was actually a beach that was incredibly beautiful. Countless turtles were ying about, having the time of their lives.

    What is this ce?

    Chen Feng felt doubtful. He tried walking forth but noticed that he couldn¡¯t walk around. He couldn¡¯t control his body and could only watch on with his eyes wide open.

    Shua!

    A turtle passed through his body, not obstructed by his presence at all.

    Chen Feng contemted. I have transformed into a projection? Or perhaps... this world was the actual projection. He did not belong to this world. As such, he couldn¡¯t see any other things.

    Mhm...

    Chen Feng looked over. On this beautiful beach, apart from the turtles, there was a hut as well. Surprisingly, there on the hut, two people stood.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. Humans?

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. Instantly, he appeared up there as well. There, by the table, an old man and a young woman were seated. Simrly, these two seemedpletely unaware of Chen Feng¡¯s presence.

    "These children..." The old man looked at the little turtles with a kindly expression. "I wonder when will they be able to grasp the technique for transforming into a humanoid shape."

    The young woman by his side spoke gently. "Don¡¯t worry. We can take our time. Humanoid transformation also signifies that they have reached adulthood, officially entering this world. I truly don¡¯t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. We didn¡¯t enjoy a childhood back then. Hopefully, these children can enjoy a good childhood and live fulfilling lives."

    The old man shook his head. "How could things be so easy? These two days, abnormalities have appeared without stop. I feel like great chaos will descend soon. I wonder if our scarab race can survive this..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. Scarab! Could this be...

    "In the annals of history, there have been numerous chaotic times. Which of those did our race fail to survive?" the woman said with a smile.

    "No, this is different," the old man muttered. "It¡¯s different this time."

    Next, he shook his head. Even if he told her, she wouldn¡¯t understand.

    The old man changed the topic. "Is Chen Er not back yet?"

    "Mm." The woman¡¯s expression dimmed. "It has been three years since hest came back."

    "Three years... Well, he is, after all, the chief of our scarab race. It is inevitable that he has to work hard." The old man sighed as he looked at her belly. "This child, it has been three months, right?"

    A content smile appeared on her face as the woman rubbed her belly. "Mhm..." Although her husband, Yu Xian Chen, was not here most of the time, she was lucky enough to be pregnant, to have this child apanying her.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Three years...

    Three months...

    Chen Feng felt like the math did not seem right here. But then, after thinking about it, he realized that he had indeed been thinking too much. After all, this was the scarab race. From his memories, fertilization would indeed take years for some turtle species. Since the scarab race was essentially a race of turtles as well, perhaps they might require 100 years of fertilization.

    Mhm, that must be the case.

    Chen Feng rearranged his thoughts and continued watching on.

    "Let me take a look." The old man ced his hand before the woman.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance shed.

    Suddenly, the old man¡¯s eyes gleamed as a shocked expression appeared on his face. He retracted his hand and looked at the woman. "This is..."

    The woman nked. "What¡¯s up?"

    The old man¡¯s expression dimmed. "The child..."

    "What happened to my child?" the woman asked anxiously. "What happened?"

    "The child is fine." The old man trembled and sighed. "However the child¡¯s entire body is enveloped in gold and shines with unusual radiance. There is a faint resonance with the aura of the Saintly Ancestor..."

    The woman¡¯s eyes widened abruptly. This characteristic... Could it be...

    The old man sighed. "That¡¯s right. This child is the future Duma! The future leader of our scarab race!"

    Bang!

    The woman¡¯s heart jolted.

    Duma... had appeared once again! However, her husband was clearly the present Duma. Why...

    Plop.

    She copsed weakly to the ground. In the scarab race, at any given time, only a single Duma could exist. Only when the present Duma died would that unique and powerful aura return to their race to be reincarnated once again.

    In short, Yu Xian Chen had...

    Thedy knelt on the ground, weeping bitter tears.

    The old man sighed.

    Something had indeed happened. Including the scarabs, the leaders of several races had encountered misfortune. This was a bad omen. It seemed like a dreadful cmity was on the verge of erupting.

    The old man sighed. "Something still happened in the end." As he was about tofort the woman, suddenly, his expression changed. He seemed to have seen something terrifying, as he left immediately, leaving only a single sentence behind.

    "Take good care of the children."

    On the beach, the group of adorable little turtles was still ying around without any worries. The breeze brushed past, and the blue sky above the beach seemed even deeper now.

    Chapter 652: Soul Entering the Primordial Era

    Mysterious Town.

    Within the town of numerous radiances, each color upied a certain region. Suddenly, a cold radiance streaked toward a certain area. Filled with killing intent, the formidable power pierced directly into the primordial item.

    Ka! Ka!

    A crisp shattering sound echoed. A huge primordial item was about to burst apart. However, despite the numerous attacks against it, the primordial item still maintained its original appearance. It flickered with a faint blue, even when its entire body was filled with cracks.

    ...

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance shed past.

    As the old man left, Chen Feng felt like the world before him was turning more lifelike. The gentle breeze brushed past his face, and the fishy smell of the ocean lingered in his nose. Everything appeared clearer.

    Chen Feng felt doubtful. This...

    "You, who are you?" The woman who had been weeping earlier was looking at Chen Feng in rm.

    Chen Feng was astonished. "You can see me?"

    "Yes, I can. You, who are you?" The woman was afraid. She could sense that this person didn¡¯t have the aura of the scarab race about him. How had this person arrived here? One ought to know that this was the scarab race¡¯s forbidden ground. Could it be that something bad had indeed happened to the scarab race? She recalled the scene earlier where the old man abruptly left. Her heart chilled as she wondered if their enemies had indeed entered even their forbidden ground.

    "You can even understand what I¡¯m saying?" Chen Feng was even more astonished. Based on what Duma had said, thenguage of the scarab race was absolutely different from thenguage of the Gic Era. However, what Chen Feng saw and heard was all in a singlenguage. This was truly quite wondrous. He wondered if this was an illusion. He had seen and experienced countless illusions. None of them had ever been so lifelike. This lifelikeness didn¡¯t refer to the people in the illusion. Rather, it referred to how harmonious the illusory world seemed. This was a rather odd feeling.

    Chen Feng became suspicious. Perhaps... this is an illusion released by an awakened?

    Shua!

    A cold gleam shed past.

    He tried to lock his senses on to this woman, yet right at this instant, he felt his mind tremble and the memories in his brain start to sway about. All the memories regarding Duma were about to vanish. All his memories about the Gic Era started bing blurry as well.

    This...

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils shrunk abruptly. He retracted his killing intent, which had been directed to that woman earlier. Only then did his memories stabilize.

    Hiss¡ª

    He took in a deep breath. Suddenly, a realization dawned upon him. This was no illusion. Rather, this was the real world. The present young woman was indeed the mother of the future Duma. Earlier, Chen Feng had intended to kill her. If so, Duma would have disappeared. As such, the memories of Duma had started bing blurry. Without Duma, there would have been no one dealing with the awakened primordial powers in secret. Without that, the world would not have been so peaceful, thus resulting in the change of his memories regarding the Gic Era...

    Chen Feng was startled. In short, everything before him was real! The scarab race and this woman, they were all real!

    Chen Feng was shaken. "I have actually returned to the Primordial Era."

    That Mysterious Town contained numerous abilities within. Each primordial item was incredibly powerful. As such, Chen Feng had been extremely cautious when he¡¯d entered. Unexpectedly, just as he¡¯d entered, he had already fallen victim to one of the powers. He hadn¡¯t been able to resist it at all. After being enveloped by that blue radiance, he had been directly sent back in time.

    "Spirit?" Chen Feng tried asking. No reply came. His question to Spirit was akin to throwing stones to the sea.

    Chen Feng frowned. "Spirit didn¡¯t return with me?"

    That shouldn¡¯t be possible. Since Spirit was a consciousness birthed by him, she should follow him at all times. How had she gone missing suddenly? Chen Feng wasn¡¯t used to theck of Spirit¡¯s assistance.

    However, with astonishment, he found that his Luck Aura could once again be used, and 9,999 luck value was waiting for him. This was a terrifying amount.

    "Has it returned to its state prior to the upgrade due to time travel? No, this doesn¡¯t seem to be the case. How many years ago have I returned to?"

    Chen Feng felt his thought process be sluggish.

    The sudden disappearance of Spirit, the sudden appearance of Luck Aura, everything seemed rted to this mysterious Primordial Era. However, he couldn¡¯t figure out the truth.

    "Is this the power of a primordial item?"

    Chen Feng felt a lingering fear. He found that he had still ultimately underestimated the strength of primordial items. Regardless of whether it was his Luck Aura or his time travel, both were pointing at how terrifying primordial powers could be.

    "No, don¡¯t kill me." The woman trembled and looked at Chen Feng. "My child will be born very soon. I can¡¯t let him die here."

    Chen Feng looked at her and smiled bitterly. Can¡¯t die here? That¡¯s certain. If something were to happen to her...

    Bang!

    A loud boom resounded in the distance. A terrifying power erupted, engulfing the entire world. Distantly, the entirety of the huge mountain belonging to the scarab race started copsing.

    Something has indeed happened!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart thumped. He recalled the history Duma had told him, and understanding dawned upon him. Perhaps this was the moment when the scarab race encountered that disaster. As for the woman here, Duma¡¯s mother, she had escaped at this instant and eventually gave birth to Duma, making him the only descendant of the scarab race.

    So that was the case.

    Finally, Chen Feng gained some sort of understanding amid all the confusion. How had this woman escaped? Chen Feng looked toward the surging aura before looking at this weak woman that seemed incapable of escaping. He could not imagine that this woman would actually be able to escape. Suddenly, heughed helplessly.

    In short, the one protecting Duma¡¯s mother while she escaped had actually been Chen Feng?

    Chen Feng was shocked. "What happened, exactly?" He was sure that the one who was supposed to protect this woman in her retreat wasn¡¯t supposed to be him. Analyzing what he knew so far, that person should have been the old man earlier.

    At the crucial moment, the old man had left. Moreover, right after his departure, something had happened. This was way too odd. As for Chen Feng... he had actually appeared here coincidentally.

    "Something must have happened." Chen Feng was sure. However, no matter what, he knew that he couldn¡¯t allow any mishaps to happen to this woman, regardless of whether it was for the sake of Duma or the stability of the future human world.

    Truthfully, Chen Feng had always maintained a certain level of doubt with regard to Duma¡¯s task of "protecting world peace" and "defending the world in the dark." He had merely spared Duma¡¯s life since he had seen that Duma had lost hisbat power and wouldn¡¯t be able to recover anytime soon. However, from the way his memories acted here, he was certain that what Duma had told him was true.

    As such, no matter what, he had to preserve Duma¡¯s life. At present, the woman was thoroughly dumbstruck. The sudden appearance of an enemy and then the copse of the mountain symbolizing the scarab race told her that a cmity had descended upon the scarab race.

    The woman slumped weakly to the ground. "It¡¯s over."

    Chen Feng looked at her and asked, "Do you want to survive?"

    The woman raised her head abruptly, her eyes shining.

    "Do you want your child to survive?" Chen Feng asked seriously. "If your answer is yes, follow me."

    A tinge of color reappeared in the woman¡¯s dim expression.

    Bang!

    The distant booming sound echoed without stop as Chen Feng led the woman and left in a certain direction. The copsing mountain had blocked all escape routes. As such, going this way was their only hope.

    "These children..."

    She looked at the little turtles that were panicking on the beach.

    Chen Feng shook his head and sighed. "We can¡¯t take them along. Even if it¡¯s you alone, I do not have confidence in getting you out alive."

    The woman sunk into silence.

    She was not the holy mother. As such, during such a crucial moment, she knew what her priority should be. Her child, the future Duma, was the single most important person.

    Bang! Bang!

    The distant booming sound approached them. Chen Feng and the woman arrived before the copsing mountain.

    "It¡¯s a dead end here," the woman said.

    "I know." Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "As such, the enemy will never expect to find us here."

    Shua!

    He raised his hand slightly.

    Myriad Illusions!

    Hum¡ª

    Luck Aura, activate!

 Chapter 653: Primordial Era? No Big Deal

    Chapter 653: Primordial Era? No Big Deal

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Open!

    Before Chen Feng¡¯s eyes, a cave appeared. With the woman, Chen Feng entered the cave. Next, the entrance closed behind them without a sound. The earth opened up a path before them. Chen Feng and the woman advanced, blending together with the earth. This was the power of Myriad Illusions, the ability capable of everything! When used by Chen Feng with his awakened strength, this ability was even more terrifying.

    "It had been a very long time since Ist used this ability." Chen Feng was filled with mncholy. Ever since his Luck Aura had gone dormant, he hadn¡¯t used Myriad Illusions. This ability contained countless abilities. Apart from the brain-dead method of allowing it to erupt as it wished, only Luck Aura could help Myriad Illusions reach its potential. Otherwise, the user would forever be unable to guess the next ability that Myriad Illusions would release.

    "Splendid."

    Chen Feng clenched his fists. "Let¡¯s go." He looked at the woman. "If the enemies are truly nning to eliminate the scarab race, they will not allow anyone to escape. They will notice you sooner orter. Therefore, we must leave as soon as possible."

    The woman nodded. "Mhm."

    Shua!

    Myriad Illusions, activate.

    Bringing her along, Chen Feng streaked forth underground, quickly leaving this ce. As for the hut they had been at earlier, unsurprisingly, the enemies had destroyed everything there. With their powerful strength, they had killed all the turtles there.

    On the beach, numerous turtles were sprawled everywhere with their bellies facing upward as a dense smell of blood pervaded the air. A beast with an odd appearance appeared.

    "Have all of them been killed?" He had the face of a ferocious tiger and the body of a human. His gaze swept past the beach, and he frowned. "Why am I still sensing someone alive?"

    He sniffed at the empty air. Sniff¡ª

    "This annoying aura." His eyes gleamed coldly. "Indeed, there are still survivors. Confirm it for me immediately."

    "Understood." The eyes of one of his underlings shed, as if a myriad of worlds had just shed before his eyes. He said, "Lord, based on my preliminary investigation, one particr corpse seems to be missing from the scarab race."

    "Who is it?"

    "The wife of their present Duma, someone called Xiao Wu. After marrying into this ce, the scarab-race members only dare to call her Madam. As for her real full name, even our spies weren¡¯t able to find out."

    "No real full name... Forget it, then. We can only chase after her," the tiger-faced man said coldly. "I believe everyone here has already experienced how terrifying the scarab race is. Since we have already destroyed their race, we must not allow any survivors."

    "Understood," the rest answered, wearing solemn expressions.

    For all the other races, the scarab race was akin to a dreadful nightmare. Even with only a single survivor, perhaps that single survivor might still be able to return and take revenge against all of them.

    "Chase!"

    Some of them with powerful detection abilities set off and started tracking the survivor. When they noticed that the survivor had already crossed over the mountain, they destroyed the entire mountain directly.

    Bang!

    A formidable power boomed. A tunnel was forcefully sted through the mountain.

    "Let¡¯s go."

    Following the lingering aura in the air, they directly chased after their target, not stopping at all. Not a single thing seemed capable of stopping their advance.

    Bang! Bang!

    They advanced, leaving numerous booms in their path. At this time, Chen Feng and that woman had yet to get far away. As they heard the sounds, they were horrified. This was way too fast! If this continued, they would not be able to escape.

    Shit.

    Chen Feng felt his scalp going numb. The experts of the Primordial Era were truly somewhat excessive. Even though they were simrly awakened ones, Chen Feng felt like he would be insta-killed by these people. That feeling... is that the power of resonance? This won¡¯t do. Chen Feng tried creating some diversions with his Myriad Illusions, yet those people weren¡¯t even slowed. They were seemingly unaffected at all.

    Shua! Shua! Shua!

    All the diversions he set were instantly destroyed.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. This is getting troublesome... He had never felt like he could be these people¡¯s opponent. This was especially true for the current him, since he was lugging a burden around. Mhm... two burdens, to be precise. What to do?

    Chen Feng looked at the despairing woman and pondered as the enemies neared them.

    "Let¡¯s split up," Chen Feng said after taking in a deep breath.

    The woman¡¯s eyes widened. Was she being abandoned?

    Hu¡ª

    Chen Feng heaved out a long breath and ignored her. He cast his senses on the path she had walked and remembered the unique scarab aura she had left behind.

    This feeling...

    Shua! Shua!

    Chen Feng activated Myriad Illusions with his hand. Next, several drops of energy dripped down before dissipating in the air. The newly dissipated aura was actually exactly the same as this woman¡¯s aura.

    Shock appeared on that woman¡¯s face. "Huh?"

    "With this, the aura will be correct..." Chen Feng pondered before saying, "Next is the body..."

    Shua!

    From Myriad Illusions, one particr ability was selected. Mhm... Chen Feng decided that this ability was usable. Next, his body started transforming, assuming the appearance of a woman.

    He looked at the woman and started talking. When he talked, even his voice was no longer the same. "With this, there won¡¯t be any problems."

    The woman was shocked. "Are you..."

    Chen Feng sighed and said, "Let me lure them away. Leave quickly. At the very least, you must survive until the birth of this child, right? The future of the scarab race now lies on your shoulders."

    "Many thanks," she said, gratitude filling her eyes. She was aware of the implication of what he had just done.

    "Leave." Chen Feng sighed. Without hesitation, he strolled around the area, leaving a chaotic trail before fleeing in a different direction, carrying the aura of the scarab race on his body. Shortly after, the pursuers arrived. They nked shortly after sensing the chaotic aura here. However, soon after, they found a familiar aura amid the chaos.

    They all reached the same conclusion. "This way."

    Shua!

    Once again, the pursuers set forth.

    The woods...

    Underground...

    Above the trees...

    They felt like their target was fleeing everywhere like a monkey, bringing them great inconvenience as they chased after this target. Fortunately, they could feel that they were nearing their target. That woman would not be able to escape them.

    Soon, after half a day, they finallyid their eyes on that person at the precipice of a certain waterful.

    "Found you," the tiger-faced man said with a smile. Worthy of being Duma¡¯s wife indeed. Her strength was not low. If this had been a normal scarab-race member, they would have caught up long ago. Unfortunately, in the end, she would still have to die here.

    Shua!

    The group surrounded her cautiously. Previously, there had been several times when they¡¯d almost caught her yet she had still been able to escape in an absurd manner. This time, they blocked all the escape routes in advance so as to prevent any mishaps from happening.

    "Madam, you won¡¯t be able to escape this time," the tiger-faced man said.

    "I know," a soft voice replied as the woman turned around. The tiger-faced man and his group were momentarily shocked when they saw the woman¡¯s face. They had never expected that the scarab race would look so very stunning after assuming a humanoid form.

    "It is rumored that the scarab race is incredibly spiritual. By breathing in the spiritual essence of nature, they can assume a humanoid form. As such, they are all top-notch appearance-wise. I originally did not believe this, but now that Iy my eyes upon this madam, I find this rumor believable," the tiger-faced manmented. The others around him agreed as well.

    Chen Feng sneered. "Hehe." So it seemed like these primordial fellows were weak to women as well. It was truly unfortunate that Xie Zhongtong wasn¡¯t here. Otherwise, she alone would be sufficient to be the end of all these fellows.

    "Hehe, if Madam is willing to apany me... I might allow Madam to live two extra years," a fellow with an odd appearance said as he stood out.

    Another fellow walked out. "Yeah. If Madam can serve us well, perhaps we can allow you to keep living."

    "What are you guys doing?" the tiger-faced man rebuked.

    They nced at him. "What are you pretending for? Are you not clear yourself on the appearance of the females of your tiger race? Among the ten thousand primordial races, the one race with the greatest resemnce to those existences, the one race with the greatest spiritual nature, is the scarab race! Hehe, moreover, this woman is Duma¡¯s wife..."

    "Even ignoring her appearance and figure, the spiritual aura about her body alone is..."

    "There¡¯s also the aura of luck lingering about her..."

    "Can you guys truly bear to give up on all this?" that person said with a perverted expression.

    "Spiritual nature..." The tiger-faced man looked at the woman, his heart tempted. If he was able to interweave his fate with this woman¡¯s fate, perhaps he would truly be able to gain a fraction of her luck and spiritual nature. With that, his future would perhaps be much better! As they thought of this, all of them were tempted. They fixed their eyes full of greed on this woman. Some of them even started undressing.

    A snake-like person took off his pants and walked toward the woman with a perverted expression on his face. "Here Ie... hehe."

    "Hehe." Chen Feng sneered inwardly at what he saw. The "length" of the primordial fellows did not seem that special after all. He had the urge to pull his "buddy" out of the skirt he was wearing to show these guys what it meant to be "blessed by the heavens."

    Naturally, this was merely a monologue; Chen Feng did not pull his "buddy" out. If he truly did that, this would probably be the end of him. Regardless of how ridiculous these fellows seemed to be, they were still ultimately experts of the Primordial Era. Any random one of them could easily kill Chen Feng. This time, it wouldn¡¯t be that easy for Chen Feng to survive this.

    At a certain location, a certain woman was fleeing hastily, cutting a sorry figure as she sped forth. Her face was pale as she ran with a huge belly. The elegance of the finest beauty of the scarab race was nowhere to be seen. Chen Feng had lured the enemies away for her. At present, she could only flee without stop, heading toward a location far away based on her memory. s, just as she was about to leave this area...

    "Madam, where are you going?" a sinister voice resounded. Madam¡¯s expression changed greatly as she raised her head abruptly. On the tree trunk before her, a monkey-like fellow could be seen. He had an ugly appearance and presently had his eyes locked on her.

    Madam¡¯s expression changed. Not good! She tried fleeing in a different direction, yet in a split second, that monkey reappeared in front of her again with the same sinister smile on his face.

    "Madam, you won¡¯t be able to escape." The sinister voice caused Madam¡¯s entire body to chill.

    Madam paled. "How is it possible for you to..." She recalled that the person from earlier had obviously lured everyone away.

    The monkey sneered. "Hehe. Are you referring to those idiots? Indeed, I also saw those traces and also saw all of them chasing after that aura. However, none of them noticed that under the chaotic aura, an aura so feeble one couldn¡¯t miss it was hidden as well. Granted, that aura seemed like a diversion in and of itself. However, at that time, I asked myself, Why are there so many chaotic auras here? If the purpose was to confuse us, why is there such a clear aura trail after the chaos? That aura is way too clear, so clear that all the diversions seem pointless.

    "That did not seem too logical. Thus, what was the point of the diversion? I thought about it for a long time. Perhaps those auras had all been left for the sake of hiding the real aura? Therefore, I discovered the weakest aura... Hehe." A proud smile appeared on the monkey¡¯s face. "If I followed after those bastards, even if we managed to locate Madam, there wouldn¡¯t have been anything left for me in any case. I figured I might as well follow this single trail by myself. The probability of my guess being correct was low. However, so long as I found you, Madam, I would profit greatly."

    Madam¡¯s heart chilled. So that¡¯s the case.

    "Hehe... I have been wondering why Madam fled. So that is the reason?" the monkey said as he looked at the woman¡¯s belly, and he startedughing maniacally. "Haha, I reckon those bastards never imagined that the madam of the scarab race actually got pregnant. Mhm... True, Duma hasn¡¯t returned for three years, as he was killed when he was outside. Logically, you shouldn¡¯t be pregnant. As such, they never thought of this. However, the scarab race...

    "Rumors have it that yours is a race capable of pregnancy even three or five years after sex. Hehe, if my guess is correct, the child inside you is the future Duma, since you are the sole surviving scarab-race member. Duma..." the monkey said in a trance-like manner. "That is the soul of the scarab race. Now that it has entered the body of this child, if I can cook and eat this child..." The monkeyughed maniacally. "Hahaha! The luck of the entirety of the scarab race shall belong to me!"

    Madam¡¯s body chilled.

    Greed appeared on the monkey¡¯s face. "Don¡¯t worry. I will take you away. I will care for you properly until the birth of this child."

    Despair appeared on Madam¡¯s face.

    At this time, at a certain faraway location, Chen Feng was also facing a life-or-death predicament, as he was surrounded by the tiger-faced man and others.

    Chen Feng frowned. What should I do? God Punisher? This was the strongest single target attack Chen Feng had at the moment. However, after thinking about it, Chen Feng realized with great grief that regardless of how strong God Punisher was, even if he could insta-kill his target, it was still a single target attack. He could only kill one of them with it. That would not do.

    Yet his others abilities would be even more useless against these people. He wasn¡¯t their opponent. If so, the only thing Chen Feng could rely on was his Luck Aura.

    He nced at his luck value. At present, only half was left. The amount of 9,999 had seemed very terrifying, yet to ensure their escape earlier, he had been using it up without stop. Ultimately, Myriad Illusions hadn¡¯t been powerful enough. To conceal himself from these people that were far stronger than him, a huge amount of luck value had been required.

    Ten luck value exhausted...

    Ten luck value exhausted...

    ...

    Chen Feng sighed inwardly. This won¡¯t do. Although he had absolute superiority in terms of "length," his strength was stillcking. Moreover, this absolute superiority was only against their humanoid forms. If the opponents were to transform back into their true forms... Mhm... Perhaps Chen Feng would be able to witness a "big bird" the size of several dozen meters.

    They approached him without stop. "Hehehehe."

    Suddenly, Chen Feng asked, "Why are you fellows staying in this form?" He felt like he could try dragging this out by asking them some questions. "Aren¡¯t your true forms even more powerful?"

    "It is a surprise that madam¡¯s taste is so heavy," the tiger-faced man said in astonishment. "The beast form is, after all, still a primal form. Regardless of race, only the humanoid transformation is an indication of them being an expert. Madam..."

    The rest of them were rather shocked as well. Why was this madam asking such an idiotic question?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart thumped. Humanoid... This was not the first time he heard this term. The Primordial Era should not have any humans. Why did the term "humanoid" exist, then? All these races prided themselves on being able to assume a humanoid form and regarded only those capable of assuming a humanoid form as true experts. How had such an idea appeared?

    Chen Feng could vaguely feel that he had perhaps stumbled upon something amazing. But then... it was destined that these people would not be able to answer his questions.

    The tiger-faced man narrowed his eyes. "Looks like Madam is trying to drag this out."

    "Madam¡¯s voice is so charming. I reckon that Madam will perform very well in forey. However, too lengthy a forey isn¡¯t too nice, am I right?" the snake-shaped man said as he approached.

    ...

    Chen Feng looked at the precipice behind him. From his memories, in all the movies he had watched, the main characters could survive by leaping down the precipice. Since he had the assistance of Luck Aura, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for him to jump down as well. Instinctively, he nced downward. Next, he noticed a rather powerful-looking beast falling down due to carelessness. Instantly, the beast transformed into dry bones.

    At the sight of this, Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled.

    Shit, this wasn¡¯t how plots progress in the movies!

    The tiger-faced man saw Chen Feng¡¯s action and thought that "she" was contemting suicide. Since they were nning to capture Madam alive, they could never allow suicide. "Go!"

    Bang!

    A terrifying energy erupted.

    The tiger-faced man¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "God Convergence!"

    His calm eyes turned gold. From the gold pupils, terrifying energy shot out and locked onto Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    Shua!

    Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s body stiffened. He was no longer able to move.

    Chen Feng was horrified. What damnable ability is this?

    Luck Aura, activate!

    Shua! Shua!

    His luck value dropped crazily. Instantly, several thousand luck value disappeared. Finally, Chen Feng¡¯s body was no longer stiff. However, the "Madam" appearance he had been assuming started flickering, nearly disappearing.

    Shit!

    When Chen Feng saw a perverted hand reaching out, trying to grope him, he turned around and directly leaped down.

    Shua!

    With a leap, he entered the endless abyss of sure death.

    "Not good."

    The tiger-faced man grabbed forth hastily, yet he failed to reach Chen Feng in time. With his eyes wide open, he stared nkly as Madam¡¯s body started flickering in an odd fashion before entering the abyss.

    Bang!

    With a loud boom, Madam¡¯s body vanished.

    They all sank into silence. The water down in the abyss was such that, regardless of how powerful a person was, death was assured by a single touch of the water. Not a single person was an exception to this. They had expected that Madam would attempt suicide. However, they had never imagined that they would fail to stop her.

    The snake-shaped man angrily red at the tiger-faced man. "Didn¡¯t you say that you could stop her suicide?"

    The tiger-faced man was speechless. He had never imagined that the God Convergence he was so proud of would actually fail. One ought to know that this ability had a 99.99% sess rate against awakened ones at the same level as him. Thest time this ability had failed him was when he had used it on his second uncle.

    Damn it! he cursed inwardly. However, despite his regret, they weren¡¯t terribly troubled, since their mission was to only ensure the death of the sole survivor of the scarab race.

    "Well then, let¡¯s announce thepletion of this mission."

    Chapter 655: Tampering with History

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At Mysterious Town, a figure streaked past. With astonishment, Chen Feng found that he had returned to the Gic Era.

    What¡¯s going on?

    He was bewildered. In his memories, as he had been falling from the precipice, just as he had been about tond on the surface of the water, a blue radiance had shed before his eyes, and next, he had returned. What had happened? Could it be that the Duma-rescuing mission had been sessful? Chen Feng was bewildered.

    He raised his head and saw a broken turtle shell before him. This turtle shell appeared rather peculiar. It had clearly been broken apart, yet all the pieces were still sticking together. Shining with a blue radiance, suddenly, a scene appeared in the empty air.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. Once again, a primordial aura descended. Chen Feng could see clearly the fleeing Madam being chased after on the screen.

    "She was discovered?" Chen Feng¡¯s heart thumped. Could it be that his mission of rescuing Duma had failed instead?

    Shua!

    She raised her head. In the scene, Madam had already been forced to desperation.

    "Madam, just surrender," the monkey said with a smile. Surprising him, Madam, who had been despairing and struggling bitterly all along, suddenly calmed down.

    "In short, you are the only one who followed this trail?" Madam asked with a calm gaze.

    The monkey had an ominous feeling. "So what if that¡¯s the case?"

    "Have you heard of a legend?" Madam asked calmly.

    The monkey was on high alert now. "What?"

    "Never... ever..." Madam said, one word at a time, "...face a scarab race member solo!"

    Monkey¡¯s expression changed greatly.

    Damn it!

    Shua!

    His body retreated rapidly.

    s... it was already over for the monkey.

    Madam pointed at the empty air. "Condense!" A terrifying radiance swirled around and locked on to monkey directly. The flow of time in an area a hundred meters around them vanished. The monkey had obviously reached the edge of this hundred-meter area, yet he was forcefully reversed back to where he had stood previously.

    Madam¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Even if my present strength has declined... I am still an expert of the scarab race!" She would have been helpless against a huge number of people. However, if it was only a single opponent...

    Hum¡ª

    A faint undtion surrounded the area. A formidable chronal power severed this area from the outside world.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes widened. "This..." He recognized this ability. This was the trump card of the scarab race, an ability Duma had once used on him and also the scarab race¡¯s most terrifying ability, an ability where the turtles trapped their opponents and outlive them.

    And thus, in the scene, for the first time, Chen Feng witnessed the prowess of this ability. He saw the birth of Duma, he saw the deranged monkey try to make a move against Duma, he saw Madam end this ability before sending Duma away.

    And next...

    He saw madam cough blood before once again using this ability to trap the monkey, who wasn¡¯t able to escape in time.

    "Are you sick? I already told you, I will not kill you. Why are you still trapping me?" the monkey said, furious.

    Madam¡¯s voice was instead exceptionally calm. "Since you already know the truth, you cannot be allowed to survive."

    And thus, time passed. From Chen Feng¡¯s point of view as an observer, he could see that in a short few seconds, within the trap, a very long time passed. The two of them grew old and died from old age...

    The madam and the monkey perished together.

    There, outside the trap, was only the newborn Duma. Breaking out of the eggshell, a gold turtle head popped out, and a dense radiance was swirling around the turtle. Slowly, a pair of inquisitive eyes opened. At the instant the eyes opened, gold radiance surged.

    "The exact same time I leaped down the precipice?"

    Finally, Chen Feng understood. So that was the case.

    Finally, Chen Feng understood the reason for his sessful return to the future. The blue radiance before him intensified. The turtle shell seemed no longer capable of persevering, and a gentle voice drifted over from the horizon. "Thank you..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart thumped. This was Madam¡¯s voice!

    Ka!

    The shell shattered. Instantly, the blue zone vanished, leaving behind only a pile of broken shell pieces.

    "Are you the one who guided me back in time?"

    Chen Feng understood. This was a broken shell left behind by Madam back then. For some reason, it had been delivered to this Mysterious Town, subsequently guiding him back in time to rescue Duma.

    However... why? History had originally flowed correctly. Why had he been required to correct history now? What exactly had happened to the Primordial Era? Chen Feng had no idea. What exactly had happened here? Since his memories hadn¡¯t changed, perhaps he had at least done the right thing this time.

    "Spirit?" Chen Feng called out.

    Spirit replied promptly as usual. "Here."

    "Rey everything you saw earlier," Chen Feng said.

    "All right." Spirit reyed the scene of what had happened earlier. Chen Feng had stepped into the blue region, shut his eyes for only five seconds, and then once again reopened his eyes.

    In short, the time he¡¯d spent at the Primordial Era had been skipped. That made things interesting. He had a solemn expression on his face as he wondered about what had happened here.

    What was up with that ability capable of twisting history? If history was truly altered, perhaps the entire Gic Era would be affected as well. Perhaps Chen Feng wouldn¡¯t even transmigrate over from Earth this time. Everything was unknown.

    "I don¡¯t suggest you continue advancing." Spirit¡¯s tone became solemn. "This ce is giving me an extremely ominous feeling."

    Chen Feng stared ahead. "I know."

    This Mysterious Town seemed even more terrifying now. However, Chen Feng had no way out. The scarab-race incident had nted an utmost fear in his heart. The act of changing history was truly way too scary. Even Duma might have been erased from his roots. How could a human be safe, then? He had to stop the opponent, even if he still had no idea who the opponent was!

    "After all... I am the sole awakened of the human race," he said calmly.

    Shua!

    Light swirled before his eyes. He picked the turtle shells up. Perhaps these things might still prove helpful.

    Bang!

    He walked out of the region purged of blue. Step by step, he moved deeper. With the blue fading, the distant green appeared exceptionally distinct. That was the next region. The outline of Mysterious Town was bing clearer. In the midst of green, one could vaguely see a primordial item flickering unceasingly, maintaining this green region. Evidently, this was the next primordial fragment Chen Feng had to face.

    "Hopefully, you won¡¯t disappoint." Chen Feng inhaled deeply before stepping into the green.

    Shua!

    Light swirled. Instinctively, Chen Feng tried grabbing at the primordial fragment. However, the instant his foot entered the green...

    Bang!

    All the green was instantly cleared. A terrifying force swept down from the horizon. All the green was destroyed, and a brand-new dazzling red radiance suddenly shone, seemingly enveloping the entire world.

    Ka!

    The green primordial fragment had actually been instantly destroyed.

    Destroyed?

    Chen Feng had an ominous feeling.

    Bang!

    The radiance before him intensified. The terrifying red shone dazzlingly. When the brightness faded, Chen Feng had once again descended into a brand new world. With a single nce at this world before him, his entire body chilled.

 Chapter 656: Whose World?

    Chapter 656: Whose World?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Somewhere within Sea City, Xu Fei, who was in the midst of an intense "battle" with his opponent, was looking at a pop-up in excitement. "The time hase for this lord to earn merit again?"

    "Brother Xu," his "opponent" called out sweetly.

    "We will continue after I return." He spanked her butt before turning around and leaving in a carefree manner.

    At the same time, Kong Bai, who was on the way to the hospital for stic surgery, was also looking at his screen with doubt as he muttered, "How did that old man Duma find out about me?"

    ...

    Mysterious Town.

    There, the resplendent red was shining upon an entire region. The green had already been entirely destroyed, the primordial fragment included. However, within the boundless red, a spark of green could be seen shining.

    Hum¡ª

    The faint green shone before sweeping toward Chen Feng and enveloping him.

    Bang!

    The red intensified. The furious red shed and destroyed the green. s, it was already toote. The final dot of green had been able to tear open a hole with a wondrous method.

    Shua!

    Light swirled. When Chen Feng opened his eyes, he saw a brand new world. A gloomy sky above him, a light drizzle pattering down, a huge crowd, and a world tinged in ancient-looking colors. This was a scene he had never seen before. Distantly, numerous tall buildings and tall mansions stood. Oddly, these buildings gave off an extremely ancient feeling,cking the feel of modern buildings. The architecture did not seem like any of the cities Chen Feng was familiar with.

    "Weird... Where is this ce?"

    Chen Feng was sure that he had never seen such a scene. However, for an unknown reason, what he saw gave him an unprecedentedly familiar feeling, as of something imprinted in the depths of his soul, causing his very soul to tremble. He tried stretching his hand out, yet he found that he was unable to move, just like the previous time he¡¯d traveled back to the Primordial Era.

    Chen Feng frowned. "I can¡¯t move right now. This should be something simr to what happened before. In short, I have returned back to a certain unique era? From the looks of it, this should be a civilization preceding the Gic Era. Mhm..."

    He looked at the vehicles that were moving without stop and watched on as the world became clearer and clearer, yet he still could not move. After pondering his previous experience, he gained some understanding.

    "It seems like that terrifying existence is capable of changing history. Or perhaps one could say that this is a terrifying ability one stands to gain by owning a whole primordial item. Time and space can be easily reversed. History can be tempered with to achieve his goal. With his ability, he tried to change everything. As for these radiances of differing colors in Mysterious Town..."

    The truth seemed to be appearing before Chen Feng. The radiances of numerous colors were not the helpers of that fellow. On the contrary, these radiances were all resisting that fellow.

    "In short..."

    Chen Feng drew a conclusion. Thatplete primordial item was trying to tamper with history, to erase the origin of all existences to reach a certain goal. As for these fragments here, due to their spiritual nature, they refused to permit this happening. This was the reason therge-scale undtion had erupted. That was the origin of the multicolored radiances surging straight to the sky. That was the origin of all that had happened in Mysterious Town.

    "So that¡¯s the case."

    Chen Feng finally understood. Each of the different regions upied by different colors was a node to change history. He had coincidentally entered the blue region first, entering Duma¡¯s world.

    Chen Feng thought about it. "If I wasn¡¯t there at that time..." If he hadn¡¯t been there, the scarab race¡¯s history might have truly changed, and Duma might have truly disappeared for real. This was in ordance with his conclusion. In short, what he needed to do was spoil this fellow¡¯s numerous attempts at changing history? As he thought of this, he had an ominous feeling, as this time, he had reached a modern society rather than the Primordial Era.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. "Something seems wrong." This was supposed to be yet another primordial fragment. Since that fellow was trying to tamper with the history that this particr primordial fragment was imprinted with, he should have traveled to the Primordial Era. Why had he arrived at a modern society, then?

    Green...

    Primordial...

    Modern...

    Chen Feng contemted. When he had entered this world, the situation had seemed somewhat different from his previous time travel, as this time, the green radiance had been destroyed prior to his time travel. That unknown existence had forcefully destroyed the green.

    In short, this unknown existence had initially unleashed an AoE, triggering the resistance of all the other fragments. Now, on top of the AoE, this unknown existence had unleashed a single target attack as well. With that, the green fragment had been directly destroyed.

    No, this reasoning did not seem right. If the opponent was truly this powerful, the turtle shell could have been destroyed previously as well. If this opponent had decided to unleash the AoE and single target attack at the same time, none of the other fragments would have been able to resist the attack. However, this opponent had obviously not done that previously. As such, this reasoning wasn¡¯t right.

    Chen Feng thought of another possibility.

    Perhaps...

    "When I arrived, the green had already been defeated by the AoE in the first ce?" Chen Feng guessed. Could it be that just as he¡¯d arrived, the history imprinted here had already finished being tampered with? A certain part of the Primordial Era¡¯s history had been erased? This was the only conclusion he could reach. This was also the only possible exnation for what had happened.

    Shua!

    Light swirled before his eyes. This modern world still operated before his eyes. Amid the light drizzle, a middle-aged couple appeared with an umbre. They seemed to be holding onto a child, hugging the child tightly for fear of the child suffering from the cold.

    The family of three seemed to be in a rush, and this entire world seemed to be clearer along with their appearance.

    These two are the main characters this time...

    Simr to the woman from the scarab race earlier, when the main character appeared, the entire world became clear.

    However... Chen Feng found that he still couldn¡¯t move. He was still ying the role of an observer.

    Chen Feng frowned. What¡¯s going on? Suddenly, he thought of a possibility. Previously, he had only been able to move thanks to the help of the primordial fragment, that turtle shell. Now, the green fragment had already been destroyed. As such, he could no longer participate in what was happening in this part of the history.

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "So I can only watch on?" Fine, he would y this role, even though he was clueless as to whose history this was.

    Bang! Bang!

    In the sky, two muffled peals of thunder sounded, and the rain became heavier. By the road, the masses moved hurriedly. Most of the people without umbres were taking cover within the shops. Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was focused on the middle-aged couple.

    "The point where the course of history is altered..."

    Chen Feng watched on silently.

    Du du¡ª

    The cell phone sounded.

    "Hello. Mhm, I know. Don¡¯t worry, after settling down the child, I will go over with my wife immediately. Haha, don¡¯t worry. I will seed for real this time."

    The middle-aged man ended the call and left quickly with his wife and child. Just as the family of three turned a corner, suddenly, a truck that had gone out of control rushed at them.

    Bang!

    The out-of-control truck charged forth like a ferocious beast and crashed through several cars in a row. Even the streetmps were being knocked over everywhere, yet the truck was still heading directly toward the couple.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Here ites!" This damnable primordial item was indeed altering history!

    "Careful!" The middle-aged man pulled his wife and child and retreated to the side hastily. s, the out-of-control truck was still heading toward them. They retreated hastily, dropping the umbre in their panic. For the first time, the appearance of the child that was being hugged tightly by the woman was revealed to Chen Feng.

    With a single look, Chen Feng was rmed.

    No, this should be a mere resemnce...

    However, when his gaze trailed downward, when he saw the stone hanging around the child¡¯s neck, he finally understood. This was his world! This child was him! This damnable primordial item was trying to erase his existence as well!

 Chapter 657: How Did They Die?

    Chapter 657: How Did They Die?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang!

    The out-of-control truck charged over.

    Damn it!

    Chen Feng clenched his fists tightly, yet he was unable to participate in what was happening. The only thing he could do was watch on as the family of three retreated to the corner of the street until there was no longer any way to retreat. He could only watch on as that truck charged over, violently destroying everything in its path and reaching the family of three.

    Hum¡ª

    At this instant, the world before his eyes seemed to be cracking. This was the traces of his memory being erased. The moment this family of three was killed, Chen Feng would also cease to exist. Right at this instant, he felt a faint green radiance sh around him, and a powerful primordial aura appeared once again.

    This aura only appeared for a split second before it waspletely erased. However, Chen Feng still smiled, as at this moment, the world around him seemed even more alive. He could even feel the rain pattering on his face. He had finally fully descended to this world. He raised his head, looking at the despairing expression on the couple¡¯s faces. He looked at the truck that was about to crash into the child. Lightly, he stepped forth.

    Shua!

    Just like that, he appeared before the truck.

    A loud boom resounded.

    Bang!

    The truck crashed onto his body as Chen Feng seemed to sink into the truck, causing the truck to be incapable of moving forth any farther. All around Chen Feng, the worldpsed into silence.

    "Go," Chen Feng said. Before others could even react to this, he left with the family of three, leaving behind only the destroyed truck. After a long time, several ck-clothed men appeared there.

    "The target escaped. Seems like some outsiders have appeared. We felt some unusual power earlier. Hehe... Lock on to that person¡¯s coordinates. Regardless of who the outsider is, I want them to die."

    "Yes."

    ...

    Not far away, within a hidden room, Chen Feng was looking at the dumbstruck family of three before him. Evidently, the supernatural strength Chen Feng had demonstrated earlier had shocked them.

    "Supernatural powers... exist for real?" The middle-aged man was so agitated that he couldn¡¯t speak coherently.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    If his guess was correct, this was his father, Chen Jianguo. From the name itself, one could see how amazing he was. As for the woman hugging the child, that should be his mother. As for her name...Chen Feng did not seem to remember it. Back then, the actual incident had been quite simple. In some archaeology assignment, Chen Jianguo and his wife had both died. Next, Chen Feng had been sent to an orphanage. That was all that had happened.

    Was it the ident earlier? Chen Feng frowned and denied this thought. The ident earlier had obviously been trying to kill even him. History was being disturbed...

    Hum¡ª

    A faint green radiance shed past. Some information was hidden within. After transmitting this intermittent message, the green vanished again.

    "Kindness... Thank... Revise... History... By no means... To disturb..."

    Chen Feng heard the message and could only smile bitterly. Was this fellow feeling thankful for Chen Feng¡¯s appearance, which had shifted the attention of thatplete primordial item to himself and away from the fragments, thus it appearing here to repay Chen Feng? This truly caused him to be speechless.

    But then, if that was truly the case, the only reason he had appeared here was to repair history, to put everything back on the right track. He could absolutely not allow his parents to suffer from some mishaps at an earlier date. He also had to ensure that they both did not survive the ident that was supposed to kill them, leaving him an orphan. That was because the moment they survived, Chen Feng¡¯s timeline would be thoroughly altered. Nobody knew what would be the result of that. If that caused Chen Feng to not transmigrate, to not be strong...

    Perhaps every incident rted to Chen Feng might change as well. The Gic Union might face danger, and everyone he knew would probably die. The descent of this unique primordial item was also something nobody could stop.

    Qin Hai...

    Wang Yao...

    Duma...

    Everyone might suffer. If either the pink power from before or the present mysterious primordial power gained control of this world, great chaos might arise. Even Chen Feng¡¯s present world might fall into danger.

    Since the opponent could discover this world through his aura alone, the opponent had to have already discovered the existence of this world. If he died... even if, theoretically, his death would result in his disappearance from history, causing the opponent to lose track of him, as the culprit, this opponent might be able to preserve part of the memory that was supposed to be erased.

    If so... this world might not be able to escape the grasp of this opponent. Chen Feng pondered and understood soon enough.

    "Erm..." Chen Jianguo rubbed his hand and cautiously asked, "Excuse me, may I ask, who are you?"

    Chen Feng looked at them with aplicated expression. "Your savior." In truth, he did not have strong feelings about his parents. After all, he had grown up in an orphanage. Moreover, his dad had also caused his childhood to be one filled with immensely bad luck. It was truly miraculous that Chen Fang had been able to survive long enough to activate the fate stone. As such, he did not have any intention of allowing the gic world to be destroyed just so his parents could survive.

    As he thought about it, in the original timeline, it wouldn¡¯t be long before his parents died. He recalled the conversation his father had had on the phone earlier. It seemed like he had received another assignment and would settle Chen Feng down before heading out for the assignment. From the looks of it, this was the assignment that his parents would never return from. As such, Chen Feng only needed to escort them to the assignment and ensure that the child was protected.

    Chen Jianguo smiled bitterly. "Thanks. However, you have yet to answer my question."

    Chen Feng shook his head. "You don¡¯t need to know that. Due to some unique reasons, someone is trying to kill you all. My mission is to protect you all. That¡¯s all."

    Chen Jianguo seemed to understand. "So that¡¯s the case."

    He exchanged nces with his wife. It seemed like their assignment had attracted some attention after all. Was this youth the one dispatched to protect them?

    Chen Feng looked at them and said, "Where is the location of your assignment? I will send you two there before leaving."

    "Qinghe Mountain," Chen Jianguo said. "There, a group of ancient tombs has been discovered. We must arrive there tomorrow."

    "Qinghe Mountain... Tomorrow..." Chen Feng nodded. "Got it."

    He had some impression of this Qinghe Mountain. It seemed to be a mountain range near his ancestral home with rather dangerous topography. With the rain from the past two days, the ground was filled with mud, further increasing the danger there.

    If it was the group of ancient tombs there...

    Qinghe Mountain...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng was startled. He had once seen a relevant piece of news. He had once tried investigating the trails of his parents and had also studied a bit about this ce. For example, this Qinghe Mountain had encountered an extremely rare torrential rain, causing a sh flood and argendslide. From the looks of it, his parents had encountered somerge-scale natural disaster while on their assignment there.

    So that was the case. So this was how his parents had died. The things that he had been confused about had finally been cleared up He recalled that thendslide would happen tomorrow night. In other words, after sending his parents over tomorrow, they would die on that very night.

 Chapter 658: Actually, I Amâ€¦

    Chapter 658: Actually, I Am...

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Late at night, Chen Feng was gazing up at the starry sky in silence. He had finally returned back to this after so long. Naturally, he couldn¡¯t fall asleep. He was merely gazing at the hazy sky with his head raised.

    Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded beside him. "What are you looking at?" Chen Feng turned around and noted that Mrs. Chen had actually left the room.

    Chen Feng frowned. "Why are you still awake?" In truth, Chen Feng was somewhat at a loss as to how he should mingle with these two. As such, he was merely wishing that everything could proceed smoothly and nothing else.

    "I can¡¯t sleep." Mrs. Chen shook her head and self-mockingly said, "How could I still sleep after that near-death experience earlier?"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    True. He was already used to living on the edge of life and death and had almost forgotten that here this hosted a peaceful modern society.

    Suddenly, Mrs. Chen smiled and asked, "Do you feel that we are very troublesome?"

    Chen Feng was somewhat stunned. "Ah."

    "I can see from your eyes that you are extremely fearful of trouble," Mrs. Chen said. "You only wish toplete your mission formally, to finish this mission as soon as possible so you can go on a vacation. This attitude resembles that programmer in our unit greatly."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    "That is also why I trusted your words," Mrs. Chen said with a smile. "I believe that you are here to protect us instead of kill us. Oddly, from your body, I can feel an indescribable sense of intimacy."

    Chen Feng: "..." He raised his head to look at Mrs. Chen. Although he called this woman Mrs. Chen, in this era, this mother of his was only 30 years old, at the age when her beauty was at its peak. It was rather astonishing that when young, his mother was actually this pretty. Chen Feng thought that it was natural that his mother was good looking, since he himself was so very handsome. It was most certainly due to the good gene pool he had inherited.

    "Do not misunderstand. I am not hitting on you. Rather, I truly feel an odd sense of intimacy," Mrs. Chen gently said.

    Chen Feng waved his hand. "I know. Return to your room and get some rest."

    "You know?" Mrs. Chen was stunned. This young man was actually acting as if this sense of intimacy was as it should be.

    Chen Feng frowned. "Return."

    Mrs. Chen did not intend to leave. "What is your name?"

    "Kong Bai..." Chen Feng paused and thought that such an ugly name was most undeserving of being used by him. As such, he changed midsentence. "Qin Hai. I am Qin Hai."

    "Qin Hai, a good name," Mrs. Chen praised.

    "..." Chen Feng sighed. "You should go take a rest."

    "I have an odd premonition." Mrs. Chen raised her head and looked at him. "If I leave just like this, I will lose something extremely important, and moreover, I will be eternally separated from this important thing."

    "..." Chen Feng¡¯s head ached. "If Mr. Chen heard your words, he would probably feel like beating me up."

    Chen Jianguo¡¯s voice drifted over. "No, he wouldn¡¯t. Because earlier, when I first saw you, I had the same feeling, an intense feeling of familiarity from you... That is why we did not reject you." Step by step, Chen Jianguo walked over and looked at Chen Feng. "Who exactly are you?"

    "..." Chen Feng smiled bitterly. Indeed, he was not suited to being a spy. Looking at the earnest Chen couple before him, he could only sigh. "Since you are asking so earnestly, I shall deign to tell you two. To prevent the failure of this assignment, to prevent the targets from rejecting the protection, to ensure the assignment can be betterpleted, I have been selected to protect you two due to my great affinity. I am a person with a superpower, with affinity being my superpower. Regardless of who the person is, so long as that personys an eye on me, said person will be affected by my superpower and feel like I am their closest kin. Do you both understand now?" Chen Feng spoke proudly, flinging his head in an attempt to swing the nonexistent fringe on his head. In front of him, the Chen couple was dumbstruck.

    Aff... affinity superpower?

    "Since you guys witnessed me using my superpower earlier, you two should be able to ept the existence of superpowers, right?" Chen Feng spoke calmly. "I have been doing missions for so many years, and so far, 13 clients have treated me as their own son, around 10 elderly clients have treated me as their grandchild, three female clients have treated me as their lover, and six teenage clients have treated me as their boyfriend. There were even two particr young clients who treated me as their father..."

    The Chen couple was thoroughly stupefied.

    So... that was the case? That had to be the case, since he had indeed demonstrated the existence of superpowers earlier when he¡¯d rescued them.

    "Sorry, we have disturbed you." Theyughed bitterly before returning to their room. Chen Feng nced at them and heaved a sigh of relief. Truthfully, unless absolutely necessary, he was not willing to be entangled with his parents. After all, as far as he was concerned, this was simply a trip to the grave...

    Not far away, Chen Feng could still hear his parents talking to each other in low voices. They had already minimized their volume, yet before the awakened Chen Feng, this effort was meaningless.

    "Seems like I guessed wrong."

    "Surprisingly, such superpower exists."

    "I initially believed that... forget it..."

    "What are you trying to say?"

    "I feel like he resembles our child greatly."

    "Huh? Is this the effect of his affinity superpower?"

    "Tsk, if I had this superpower back then, during my schooling days, wouldn¡¯t I be..."

    "Hehe, what are you saying?"

    "No, nothing."

    "Hehe."

    "Dearest wife, truly, nothing. The moon bears witness to my love for you. Look at this if you don¡¯t believe me..."

    "Kyah, there¡¯s still someone outside, all right?"

    "What are you afraid of? Last time, you even dared to do it in the tomb..."

    "Hey, what nonsense are you talking about? After all, the one outside one has superpowers, right?"

    "True."

    Slowly, the voices stopped. Chen Feng was dumbstruck as he listened on.

    ??

    Kyah?

    Tomb?

    What the hell?

    He knew that everyone was once young and hot blooded. However, it felt different to bear witness to this himself. After all, these were his parents. Truly...

    He did not know whether he shouldugh or cry.

    At present, he truly had the urge to end this mission as soon as possible.

    What the hell, if this continued, the final remaining memories he had of his parents would be badly ravaged.

    The next day, when the sun rose, Chen Feng impatiently sent the two to their destination. Since he had already arrived here, he wouldply with thews here. To avoid attracting the attention of certain existences, he tried his very best to be low profile.

    Chen Jianguo was driving, Mrs. Chen was feeding milk to the baby, and Chen Feng was casting his senses around, observing their surroundings at all times.

    "I already arranged it with a friend. He will be waiting at Three Rings Road. I will pass on the baby to him and he will take the baby back," Chen Jianguo said while driving. "Next, we can head to the tomb at Qinghe Mountain.

    Chen Feng nodded, increasing his vignce at the same time. "All right." If he guessed correctly, the opponent would not allow him to send the Chen couple to the tomb just like that. Or to be exact, the person would not allow the baby to be sent off just like that.

    However, surprisingly, the entire journey was peaceful. When they were nearing Three Rings Road, a car could be seen parked by the road with a middle-aged man waiting there.

    Chen Jianguo was overjoyed as he prepared to park his car as well. "He¡¯s here."

    "So smooth?" Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. Just as Chen Jianguo was about to stop his car, Chen Feng, with his acute senses, noticed that even with his strength as an awakened, he still could not see through the seemingly ordinary SUV! What joke was this?

    "Careful!" Grabbing one with each of his hands, Chen Feng left with the Chen couple in his hands.

    Bang!

    Instantly, the car they had been in exploded. Not far away, from the car Chen Feng couldn¡¯t see through, a ck-clothed man appeared. He was carrying a bazooka that still carried a trace of warmth. Mrs. Chen was incredibly rmed as she hugged her child. That guy had actually shot at them with a bazooka!

    Chen Feng stood before the two. "Retreat."

    "Evaded?" The ck-clothed man was astonished. After all, this was a bazooka...

    Chen Feng was even more astonished than that person. Why was it a bazooka? He was an awakened! If one wanted to do something against him, a bazooka would bepletely useless.

    "Hehe. Interesting. I heard that you possess a certain level of superpowers. Surprisingly, such people exist in real life." The ck-clothed man sneered. "Unfortunately, facing our mercenary group, your so-called superpowers are but a joke. Let me show you..."

    Pu!

    Chen Feng waved his hand casually. Next, the ck-clothed man copsed to the ground. Chen Feng curled his lips. This guy was way too weak.

    Chen Feng looked over. "That middle-aged man..."

    "My friend." Chen Jianguo smiled bitterly. "I never expected that he would betray me."

    "Kill him?" Chen Feng asked.

    Chen Jianguo shook his head. "Forget it. Perhaps he is being threatened with his family. After all, I am the one who implicated him in this whole incident."

    Chen Feng nodded. "All right."

    "What to do with the child, then?" Mrs. Chen was anxious.

    Chen Feng sighed. "Give him to me, then. When you two reached the location of your assignment, I will personally send the child over. This way, it will be safer."

    "..." The Chen coupled exchanged nces before saying, "Okay."

    Only a superhuman like this person could protect their child properly.

    "This is the address. Just leave him to the old granny next door."

    Chen Feng nodded. "I know."

    The granny next door. Mhm, he could still vaguely remember seeing that old granny when he had been young. Naturally, not long after, the old granny had passed away and he had been sent to the orphanage.

    Mrs. Chen was astonished. "You know?"

    "... It¡¯s nothing." Chen Feng shook his head. "Let¡¯s go."

    After this little crisis, they changed to a different car before continuing on. However, Chen Feng never stopped frowning. Since the enemy was trying to kill him, why were they using something as low level as a bazooka? After all, the enemy was aware that he was here... Hold on, was that fellow not aware that Chen Feng had appeared here?

    That wasn¡¯t possible. If the enemy primordial item had an independent consciousness, the enemy had to be capable of knowing that he had already arrived here as well. If so, why had the enemy used a bazooka, then? Perhaps that was the only thing the enemy could use at present?

    Chen Feng contemted. Although the enemy was capable of altering history in a major way, the enemy was still restricted to following thews of the world and could only make use of whatever originally existing in said world.

    If so...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed. He had been able to perfectly descend upon this world without having to worry about being repelled by this world, and he was able to use all of his abilities, including his awakened abilities. This signified that he was god-like in this world.

    "If so, things are going to be much easier to deal with," Chen Feng muttered.

    "What¡¯s up?" asked the concerned Mrs. Chen.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Don¡¯t worry. We will send you two to your destination first." Since the enemy was restricted by thews of this world, Chen Feng¡¯s mission had be much easier. He only needed to send the Chen couple to their destination and then send the child back to the urban district and this would end. Next, he could return to the gic world. He was certain that he hadn¡¯t interfered much with the affairs here in this world.

    He had disguised himself as an employee hired to protect the couple. At present, everything seemed to be progressing smoothly. No other special feelings had been triggered from the Chen couple.

    This was rather fine. Along the way, Mrs. Chen inquired about his well-being without stop. This caused Chen Feng to felt somewhat pressured. In the afternoon, finally, they arrived at their destination, Qinghe Mountain, the location where some ancient tombs had been discovered. With a single nce, Chen Feng noticed that this mountain was indeed on the verge of andslide.

    If it rained... something would definitely happen. Should he tell them? Chen Feng pondered the matter and could only smile bitterly.

    Yet again, Mrs. Chen looked at him with concern and asked, "What¡¯s the matter?" She felt like along the way, this guy¡¯splexion had not looked too well.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "I¡¯m fine." This was the easiest of missions for him. In this modern society of technology, he was simply god-like. However, for an unknown reason, this mission was also one that caused his heart to umte a great amount of fatigue.

    "Come in and take a rest," Chen Jianguo said with a smile. "Let my wife feed the child more."

    "All right." Chen Feng followed him in.

    "Yo, Old Chen is back," said several smiling employees that had arrived earlier. "Huh? Old Chen, why did you bring your rtive to a ce like this?"

    Chen Jianguo rolled his eyes. "What rtive?"

    "What the hell, you too look so alike. If he¡¯s not your rtive, who could he be?" they grumbled. "If this child was a few years younger, people would believe it even if you imed that he was your son."

    Instantly, Chen Jianguo was stunned.

    Chen Feng: "..." He nced at the Chen Jianguo¡¯s strict-looking square face before rubbing his handsome face and concluding that these archaeology employees were all blind.

    One of them frowned as he said, "By the way, I feel like he looks more like your wife."

    "I have the same feeling as well."

    "Weird... Why does this kid resemble both you and your wife so much?"

    The more they talked about it, the more astonished they were. "Old Chen, is this some secret child of you and your wife¡¯s from back when you two were 14 years old?"

    Chen Jianguo¡¯s expression darkened.

    "..."

    Chen Feng had an ominous feeling. Why had the plot suddenly progressed in such a direction?

    "How are we even alike?"

    Chen Jianguo retorted grudgingly before ncing at Chen Feng. After focusing on Chen Feng momentarily, he was somewhat stunned. Now that he looked at Chen Feng, Chen Feng truly resembled Mrs. Chen.

    Mrs. Chen entered as well. "What¡¯s the matter?"

    "Look properly..."

    Chen Jianguo whispered and told her all that had happened.

    Mrs. Chen¡¯s eyes shed as she stared nkly at Chen Feng. After a long while, she smiled suddenly, "Are you all stupid? This kid is already over 20 years old. At most, he can be my little brother. How can he be my son? Be careful lest you guys focus so much on archaeology that your brain suffers from it." Mrs. Chen grudgingly said, "Why are you guys still not working? We have dyed this project for way too long. We must start it today. You guys are not allowed to look for excuses to further dy the project."

    Instantly, they all dispersed.

    "Stop thinking too much." Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for your help. You can leave with the child after he¡¯s full."

    Chen Feng nodded. "All right." After looking at Mrs. Chen entering her room, he heaved a sigh of relief. What had happened earlier? Why had the topic switched to the topic of him being their son so suddenly? Perhaps...

    Chen Feng was rmed. Perhaps, this was the mysterious enemy¡¯s true goal? Suddenly, he thought of the enemy that had never appeared after the bazooka incident. He had been on guard against assassinations and attacks all this time yet had forgotten the enemy¡¯s true goal.

    That¡¯s right, who said that killing was the only way of erasing an enemy? Since the enemy knew that Chen Feng¡¯sbat strength was unequaled here in this world, the enemy would certainly not act rashly. Just imagine the scene where the enemy managed to sessfully cause his parents to doubt him, or to recognize him, or perhaps cause him to be unable to bear not telling them the truth. Regardless of which of these happened, the timeline would most certainly change as a result. This might affect even the future! This was the enemy¡¯s true goal!

    Chapter 660: Why Are You All Behaving Weirdly Today?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Damn it! As Chen Feng thought of this, his entire body became drenched with cold sweat. He had nearly fallen to this trick. Fortunately, when Chen Jianguo had been on the verge of doubting him, Mrs. Chen, who should have been feeding the baby in the room, had arrived outside and solved this crisis for him.

    Mrs. Chen...

    Chen Feng sighed. This Mrs. Chen perfectly fit the image of a perfect mother in Chen Feng¡¯s heart. All along the journey, she had disyed great concern for his well-being. Chen Feng couldn¡¯t help being moved by the concern she had shown. If he truly had such a mother by his side...

    s, he had to endure it. He could not be the one to change the past.

    "Hu¡ª"

    He shut both his eyes, trying to calm his thoughts.

    Huh?

    Suddenly, he frowned. The instant he had shut his eyes, with his powerful senses, he had noted that on his neck was a faint purple dot, so small one could easily miss it.

    "Weird... when did this appear?" Chen Feng shook his head. After casting his senses toward it and finding that it did not seem harmful and was merely a faint coloration, he shook his head and forgot about it. Perhaps this was a side effect of descending upon this world. At present, he had no intention of courting unnecessary trouble.

    He should wait calmly as Mrs. Chen finished feeding the baby before leaving. After a while, Chen Feng¡¯s senses were cast everywhere. With vignce, he observed every single person in the vicinity. He paid great attention to what they were saying, as he could not allow them to further the previous discussion.

    There¡¯s also Chen Jianguo. Since Mrs. Chen was feeding the baby, it would be inconvenient for Chen Feng to cast his senses toward her. However, he ensured that his attention was fully on this fellow, especially since this guy was once again talking about his son.

    Chen Feng watched on silently. Suddenly, someone called out to him. "Chen Feng."

    "Yes?" Chen Feng opened his eyes and found with astonishment that it was actually Mrs. Chen that had appeared beside him. At present, she was gazing at him with deep emotions.

    Hold on...

    She seemed to have called him Chen Feng?

    Damn it! Chen Feng cursed inwardly.

    "You..." Just as Chen Feng was about to say something.

    Mrs. Chen pointed at the baby in her embrace and gently said, "Chen Feng. I¡¯m saying his name is Chen Feng."

    "Oh." At this, Chen Feng heaved a sigh of relief, realizing that Mrs. Chen was here to pass him the baby. "You are done?"

    "Mhm."

    Mrs. Chen nodded, yet there was still a trace of worry about her.

    "Don¡¯t worry. The baby will definitely be delivered safely," Chen Feng promised.

    "I have no doubt about that." Suddenly, Mrs. Chen said, "What I¡¯m worried about is, do you think this baby will be very ugly when he grows up in the future?"

    "..." Chen Feng felt somewhat awkward as he answered, "Oh, I doubt it."

    "After all, his dad is somewhat ugly." Mrs. Chen was anxious. "If he resembles his dad, it will be troublesome."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    What the hell? Wouldn¡¯t it be even more troublesome if the baby instead did not resemble the dad? Mrs. Chen was being somewhat excessive here! Instantly, Chen Feng felt the image of a perfect mother copsing. This mother... was too mischievous!

    "Do you think that this child will be able to find a wife in the future?" Mrs. Chen asked.

    "Ah?" Chen Feng was stupefied. "Yes."

    Mrs. Chen was very anxious. "I heard that the imbnce of the numbers in both genders is increasing. I wonder if it¡¯s because I haven¡¯t been feeding this baby much milk for the past two days, but I feel like he hasn¡¯t been fed well enough, stunting his growth somewhat. How is he supposed to find a girlfriend in the future with stunted growth?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s face darkened. What stunted growth? Dear Mom, this is your son you¡¯re talking about here!

    "Don¡¯t worry." Chen Feng gnashed his teeth. "He will grow into a fine young man."

    "If so, I won¡¯t be worrying that much anymore," Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

    Was this truly his biological mother? Chen Feng rolled his eyes.

    "If so...I will pass him on to you."

    Mrs. Chen passed the baby to Chen Feng carefully.

    "Feng Er, please do take care... in the future," Mrs. Chen said to the baby in Chen Feng¡¯s embrace. Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s body stiffened. From this angle, from this direction, these words caused great waves in his emotions.

    "Goodbye." With the baby, Chen Feng¡¯s body flickered and vanished. Just like that, Mrs. Chen watched on nkly until she could no longer see them.

    Chen Jianguo walked over and sighed. "Has the baby been given to him?" He was still somewhat anxious. He knew that if this "Qin Hai" actually wanted to snatch his child, it would be way too easy for him.

    Mrs. Chen nodded. "Mhm."

    Chen Jianguo sighed. "Hopefully he can safely deliver the baby."

    Mrs. Chen red at him and ignored him. Instead, she directly returned to the room.

    "Huh? Why had this pen been taken out?" Chen Jianguo asked as he saw the cinnabar pen on the table. This had been excavated during their previous archaeology assignment and was seemingly useless. The pen¡¯s only function was to leave a mark on a human body, a mark that could not be erased no matter what. Apart from that, this pen was useless.

    "Nothing, I merely found it identally when rearranging the luggage earlier," Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

    "Is that so?" Chen Jianguo muttered. He looked at the pen before saying, "Even the lid wasn¡¯t put back on. Who used the pen this time?"

    "Hehe." Mrs. Chen smiled and continued looking at something.

    "What are you looking at?" Chen Jianguo nced over curiously and noted that she was looking at the weather forecast.

    "What¡¯s so interesting about this? The Weather Bureau chief is my ex-ssmate. Beforeing, I already checked with him. The following month will be a dry season," Chen Jianguo said proudly.

    "Mhm, it¡¯s your ex-ssmate," Mrs. Chen grumbled, and she continued reading.

    Chen Jianguo nced over and noticed that this time, she was looking at the topography of Qinghe Mountain.

    "Why are you looking at this?" He was feeling curious. "Why are you behaving oddly today? Is it because of that kid called Qin Hai? His superpower? We who dabble in archaeology should be much more receptive toward the existence of superpowers, right?" Chen Jianguo curled his lip. "It¡¯s only that we never expected that such a thing actually exists for real, and for us to even have such a person protecting us. Seems like they are looking quite highly upon this project of ours."

    Mrs. Chen merely sneered. "Hehe." She continued flipping past the book in her hand until she reached the page detailing the disaster caused by a heavy downpour at Qinghe Mountain 50 years ago.

    "How far are the nearest reinforcements from here?" Mrs. Chen asked.

    Chen Jianguo chuckled. "There¡¯s no reinforcements. We are so far away from civilization. If something truly happens, only helicopters can reach this ce to mount a rescue mission."

    "Is that so?" Mrs. Chen shut her eyes and said, "In that case, I finally understood."

    She shut the book in silence. Chen Jianguo ced his hand on her forehead, appearing somewhat anxious. "Do you have a fever? You are behaving so oddly. Do you want to see a doctor?"

    "..." Mrs. Chen ignored him and suddenly said, "Jianguo, I have a question. You must answer me seriously."

    Chen Jianguo nked. "What is it?"

    "If... the past is changed, will the future change as well?" Mrs. Chen asked softly.

    Chen Jianguo was dumbstruck. "What kind of a question is this?"

    Mrs. Chen spoke solemnly. "Answer me after thinking thoroughly. This is a very important question."

    "Oh..." Chen Jianguo pondered for a while before saying. "Definitely."

    "..." Mrs. Chen shut her eyes and said, "I understand now."

    Can¡¯t change, huh...

    She recalled the first time she had seen "Qin Hai," theplicated expression in his eyes, the anticipation, the pain, the mncholy, and the conflict...

    "Jianguo, I feel like our child will be an amazing person in the future."

    "Keh, can he be even more amazing than me?"

    "Hehe."

    "What kind of a response is this? But then, why are you suddenly happy? Earlier, you were still mumbling incessantly. What¡¯s going on, exactly?"

    "You don¡¯t have to worry about this."

    "This... forget it. Oh, right, earlier, Old Zhang suddenly went crazy. He said that we don¡¯t have to start working today and can go have a meal at the foot of the mountain instead," Chen Jianguo said suddenly.

    "Have a meal? Sudden suggestion?" Mrs. Chen¡¯s eyes widened. "Why?"

    "No idea." Chen Jianguo was curious as well. "I keep feeling that Old Zhang is behaving oddly today. Previously, he was the one who mentioned that the kid looks like my son... and then he suddenly suggested we go down the mountain to have a meal... But since he has requested it, we have to give him face. Let¡¯s go down together," Chen Jianguo said, not too bothered about it.

    Mrs. Chen seemed to have thought of something, as suddenly she shook her head. "No." With a resolute gaze, she said, "We must start our work today. This is the assignment given by the higher-ups. If we want to celebrate... we shall do it by having a good meal after thepletion of this project."

    Chen Jianguo looked conflicted. "But..."

    Mrs. Chen was resolute. "I said, today, we must start our work!"

    "Fine, today then." Chen Jianguo smiled bitterly and took out a case from his bosom. "This is something the Qin Hai fellow gave me earlier, telling me to give it to you. He even mentioned that you can only open it near dawn."

    Mrs. Chen¡¯s eyes shone. "Oh?"

    "Shall we take a look at what¡¯s inside?" Chen Jianguo urged.

    Mrs. Chen shook her head. "Since he mentioned that we should only open it at dawn, we will do as he wishes."

    "Why must we listen to that kid?" Chen Jianguo said sourly.

    "Why are you being jealous of some kid?" Mrs. Chen chuckled. "Don¡¯t worry. I will not open it without you."

    "Who cares?" Chen Jianguo curled his lip and mumbled, "Why are you all behaving so oddly today?"

    "..." Mrs. Chen gazed into the distance, a smile on her lips.

 Chapter 661: This Is Not from the Same Batch, Right?

    Chapter 661: This Is Not from the Same Batch, Right?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Late at night, Chen Feng was traveling with a child in his embrace. This was an extremely peculiar feeling, especially when he knew that he was carrying himself.

    "Is this how I looked when I was young?" Chen Feng found this refreshing. He turned the sleeping baby around and said in astonishment, "...So when I¡¯m young, my ¡¯buddy¡¯ was this small."

    However, when he saw the purple dot on the baby¡¯s neck, his body froze. His expression changed. He was sure that, growing up, there had been no such purple dot on his neck! This thing... Chen Feng cast his senses toward the purple dot and instantly, his body chilled. How was this possible?

    He had never expected his true identity to be seen through as, at that alien world, when he had reached S ss, his entire physical body had been reconstructed. His present body was in fact a body formed of pure energy.

    He waved his hand.

    Shua!

    Instantly, his body dissipated away before reforming an instantter. And yet the purple dot was still there, even though it was extremely faint, so faint that one could almost disregard it.

    Chen Feng pointed at the baby.

    "Condense!"

    Even if he couldn¡¯t remember his memories from when he was young, that did not mean that the memories did not exist. Although the memories of a baby were extremely hazy, since they existed, Chen Feng would be able to find them. A faint radiance swept past, and instantly, Chen Feng recalled the deepest of his memories from his mind. He saw that in the room, Mrs. Chen had used a pen to softly poke his neck. So it turned out that this was the work of Mrs. Chen.

    "This pen..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s gazended on the pen. From the pen, he felt a familiar aura. Instantly, he took in a deep breath. If this pen was also something his father had obtained from an archeology mission...

    "It couldn¡¯t be that this pen was also uncovered together with the Fate Stone, right?"

    Chen Feng was shocked. He had experienced himself how scary the Fate Stone was. As for this pen.. the purple dot seemed capable of imprinting one¡¯s very soul. It seemed to be impossible to clear away. This in itself was an astonishing feat, something surpassing logic and the limitations of energy, even in the Gic Era.

    Here, a huge secret was hidden.

    Chen Feng felt regretful. "Unfortunately, I can¡¯t bring that pen with me."

    This time, he had also descended into the past with only his soul. As such, he would not be able to bring anything back to the future. As for his parents... Chen Feng stopped his steps as he thought of them.

    He checked the time. Only a few minutes were left before the ident. He raised his head, focused his gaze, and looked in the direction of Qinghe Mountain.

    ...

    At Qinghe Mountain, the project began as scheduled. The old man tried creating numerous disturbances, but with the unyielding Mrs. Chen there, everyone still started their work. Only after working an entire evening did they return to rest. s, before they could even sleep, a muffled boom resounded. Suddenly, a majestic downpour descended from the sky.

    Shua!

    The torrential rain poured down. Instantly, the newly dug archaeological site was submerged by the water. The regr waterproof tents seemedpletely useless here as the rapid gale swept them all away. The rain grew heavier, and faint booms of thunder resounded.

    Everyone paled. "Something has happened!"

    "Something happened up there!"

    "I heard a booming sound. Something seems to be heading down here!"

    "Looks like andslide?"

    "Run, fast!"

    Everyone escaped toward the mountain foot, cutting sorry figures. s, how could they escape on time?

    "It has indeed arrived..." muttered Mrs. Chen. It seemed like her guess was correct after all.

    Chen Jianguo rushed over and pulled at her. "Go, fast."

    Mrs. Chen shook her head. "There¡¯s no point. If we managed to escape, the child will..."

    "What are you talking about?" Chen Jianguo said anxiously. "Move, fast!"

    "Don¡¯t worry," Mrs. Chen said calmly. "The kid gave you something earlier, right? Take it out now."

    Chen Jianguo was stunned. "Now?" That kid had indeed told them to open the case at dawn, but now? He looked at the heavy downpour, the booming sound that was approaching them, and the violent gale around them. Should they really open the case here? What was up with his wife today? Chen Jianguo was extremely anxious.

    Mrs. Chen merely pulled at his hand. "Trust me."

    "You..." Chen Jianguo smiled bitterly. Forget it. Even if they tried escaping, where could they escape to?

    In fact, people like them were experts in terms of topography. The probability of surviving such andslide was terrifyingly low. However, everyone was still following their instincts and trying to flee, hoping that they would be cared for by luck. After all... the further one escaped from thendslide, the higher the probability of them surviving, right?

    However, since his wife had apparently given up, Chen Jianguo had no intention of fleeing himself. Pulling his wife¡¯s hand, they hid at a location that was still dry before taking out something that was wrapped in a piece of clothing. The thing appeared rather worn out. Carefully, Chen Jianguo opened it.

    Within was a tube-shaped item with abel that read "potassium permanganate." Evidently, this was a test tube containing some chemical that been produced in someboratory. However, it was obvious that potassium permanganate wasn¡¯t what was contained within the tube. Rather, it was a wondrous-looking liquid shining with a light-blue radiance. This was a color Chen Jianguo had never seen before. Such a feeling... This blue... was akin to the blue one could only see from special effects in movies.

    "What is this?" Chen Jianguo gulped and was somewhat dumbstruck. That kid called Qin Hai had actually given them something so weird?

    Chen Jianguo unfolded the clothing and a piece of paper fell out. "There¡¯s a note attached here."

    "Let me take a look." Mrs. Chen looked at the paper. "Due to limited materials, I can only produce this one. Crush it during a moment of crisis."

    Crush it?

    Chen Jianguo looked at the reagent bottle that was flickering with a blue glow and hesitated. This thing... would it hurt his hand if he crushed it?

    Mrs. Chen red at him. "Coward."

    Bang!

    The booming sound was getting nearer. The final dry patch ofnd they were at was finally submerged by water as a violent gale engulfed at them. When they raised their heads, a rollingndslide could be seen heading toward them with an intense trembling. Thendslide had arrived.

    Chen Jianguo¡¯s body chilled. "Truly..." He had initially hoped that they might get lucky, but the moment he saw thendslide, all his hope vanished. Andslide of this scale...

    At this moment, he recalled his ex-ssmate that was working at the Weather Bureau.

    What the hell. He is indeed unreliable.

    Looking at the reagent bottle in his hand, he crushed it without hesitation.

    Just as Chen Feng had foreseen, regardless of whether Chen Jianguo believed him or not, when all hope seemed lost, Chen Jianguo would try anything.

    Ka!

    Chen Jianguo grabbed tightly. And next... nothing seemed to happen. When he looked down, he found that he had actually failed to crush the tube.

    "???"

    He clenched his teeth and grabbed tightly again, yet he still failed to crush it.

    He was stupefied. "What damnable materials is this tube made of?"

    Bang!

    Thendslide surged over violently.

    "Stupid." Mrs. Chen red at him and grabbed the tube from him before directly smashing it over Chen Jianguo¡¯s head.

    Chen Jianguo: "???"

    Ka!

    A crisp shattering sound could be heard.

    With a bitter smile, Chen Jianguo looked at his wife¡¯s hand. The expected blood was nowhere to be seen. The expected flowing liquid was nowhere to be seen either. The only thing that appeared was a light-blue radiance that instantly engulfed them.

    Bang!

    Instantly, they lost consciousness. Mrs. Chen calmly took on whatever wasing. After all, an unreal item like this was something that had never happened in her life before. Something like this was not supposed to exist. However, if it was that child...

    Bang!

    The blue radiance bloomed.

    Bang!

    Thendslide swept past, submerging everything on Qinghe Mountain.

    Chapter 662: Holy Shit, Why Are You Here?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Somewhere, Chen Feng watched on silently as the Qinghe Mountain disaster unfolded. He saw everything, yet he was unable to change anything, since this was the correct event for this timeline. Or, to be more precise, he could not change anything. He watched on until he sensed a familiar aura. This was the aura of the gene reagent he¡¯d produced the other day. It had been used!

    Used?

    Chen Feng gazed ahead.

    This should not be considered as changing history, right? After all... everything is still the same as the correct history.

    Shua!

    A slight ripple appeared in his memories, yet his memories remained nearly unchanged. He checked his memories. Regarding the fate of his parents, there had been numerous reports and numerous conclusions, with 99% of them believing that his parents had died and 1% of them believing that his parents had gone missing.

    These were the original reports he had received. However, now that he checked his memories, it was still a mixed conclusion of dead and missing, yet the number of reports believing that they had gone missing had increased by a bit.

    Naturally, these reports had all been issued during the initial few days after the incident. After several years, since the Chen couple had not shown themselves, the ultimate conclusion drawn had been their death.

    Chen Feng heaved a sigh of relief. "There are no major changes to my memory. Everything is as usual."

    As for his parents... Chen Feng recalled the function of that gene reagent and felt at ease. He inhaled deeply. This was the most he could do. This should not be considered cheating, right?

    "Let¡¯s go."

    Chen Feng moved once again. Hugging a child, he vanished amid the darkness. Since he was already done dealing with his parents, this was the end of this part of the mission. He believed that the consciousness that was also the culprit of this was incapable of doing too much here, since that consciousness had toply with thews of this world and could only make use of forces avable in this world.

    Thus, the next thing Chen Feng needed to do was safely deliver this child to where the child was supposed to be.

    Late at night, Chen Feng was streaking forth amid the darkness. Based on his speed, in around 10 minutes, he would reach his destination. At that point, his time in this world would probably end automatically. That hidden culprit could only try changing history through derailing the path of his parents. Now that Chen Feng was done dealing with his parents, the culprit shouldn¡¯t have any other methods of changing history.

    Perhaps even the culprit had never imagined that the world Chen Feng had been born in was a world where no special abilities existed, a world fully popted by ordinary people.

    As such, in the Primordial Era, that culprit had been able to get countless people to chase after Chen Feng, yet here, everyone that culprit threw at Chen Feng, Chen Feng could easily deal with. But then, it was still better to be safe. Chen Feng didn¡¯t know what the culprit would try to pull this time. For example, a guided missile or something simr.

    As such, Chen Feng traveled with the child in his embrace while his vignce was at its peak. However, even after reaching the urban district, still no enemies were found.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes as he wondered, Has the culprit given up? He entered the urban district, returning to the ce he was so very familiar with before passing the baby on to the old granny.

    Hu¡ª

    It¡¯s over.

    He could feel space start trembling lightly around him. Based on his previous experience, this was a sign that his time here in this world was ending. Soon, both he and that consciousness would disappear from this world.

    s, right at this instant, an ear-piercing rm buzzed. This was a type of rm Chen Feng had never heard even after living in this world for over 20 years, a sound he had only ever heard from the TV. This was the city rm!

    What?

    Chen Feng raised his head. Instantly, his pupils shrunk. There, in the distant sky, a dreadful thing was approaching at a terrifying speed. That was a nuclear warhead!

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed. "Shit!" Nuclear warhead! How had this thing appeared here? They were ind¡ªit shouldn¡¯t have appeared here. However, this thought merely shed through his mind before he stopped thinking about it. With that culprit guiding the events of this world, was there anything that was truly impossible? Perhaps he had guided a group of people to attack, and also guided a group of people to give up on their defenses...

    In any case, it was pointless to think of all that. His biggest concern at present was getting rid of that iing warhead.

    Chen Feng was sure that the target was this city. Right before their departure, a nuclear warhead had been deployed to the city Chen Feng was at. Next... There would be no next. Chen Feng was sure that the instant this thingnded, the entire city would be destroyed.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "How vicious." That consciousness was capable of familiarizing with the systems of this world in such a short period of time and was even capable of guiding a certain elite of this world tounch this nuclear warhead by force. All this was for the sake of erasing Chen Feng from existence, even at the cost of millions of lives. Chen Feng¡¯s decision toe to Mysterious Town to put an end to this thing had indeed been the correct choice.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Something like you should never be allowed to fullye into being."

    Shua!

    His body soared. The spatial undtions around him were getting more and more intense. During these final moments, it was evident that even that consciousness was afraid of receiving the bacsh of thews of this world. After all, that consciousness would most probably receive a rather grave bacsh from the act of changing the course of history.

    As such, the consciousness had selected the final moment before their departure beforeunching the nuclear warhead. Afterunching the warhead, the consciousness would depart directly. With this, the bacsh could be evaded. And next, whatever destruction happened after the warheadnded would be unrted to that consciousness.

    "Is this what you intend to do?" Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Come, then."

    Bang!

    Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s body streaked forth. For the first time, his awakened power was fully unleashed. With his incredible prowess, he streaked forth, instantly covering a great distance and reaching the nuclear warhead at the exact moment when the warhead was flying over the sea.

    Chen Feng punched at it ferociously.

    Bang!

    Hum¡ª

    A terrifying might bloomed and a dreadful heatwave swept out, sting Chen Feng away instantly. The entire world was seemingly enveloped by a scorching white.

    Hum¡ª

    A familiar radiance shed before his eyes. Before he could experience the might of a nuclear weapon, he returned to the Gic Era, to Mysterious Town. All around him, the town was still as brightly lit as ever.

    Returned?

    Chen Feng shut his eyes. Indeed, he had returned. As for that nuclear warhead...

    Chen Feng dug deep into his memories and found nothing rted to the nuclear warhead at all. The only thing he found was the news reporting that a huge me had zed at the sea, creating quite a wondrousndscape there.

    The news was covered up... Chen Feng contemted. In any case, that was also a good thing.

    "I wonder if my body is actually capable of resisting a nuclear st."

    Chen Feng smiled self-mockingly. Instinctively, he cast his senses all over his body. Instantly, he nked. The purple dot had vanished.

    Chen Feng was stunned. "Gone?"

    Hold on...

    Why was it gone? Wasn¡¯t that thing something that had been imprinted on his very soul? Nothing had changed when he¡¯d returned. If so, why was the purple dot gone?

    Chen Feng frowned. "Was it a counterfeit?" Just as he was about to say something, his nked as he stared at a familiar item floating before him¡ªthe pen that should have stayed on Earth. This thing had actually followed him back to the Gic Era!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes widened. "Could it be..." This thing was actually able of concealing itself in the purple dot and following Chen Feng back to this world?

    Holy shit!

    Instinctively, his hand reached out toward the pen. Next, a familiar power gushed out.

    This was...

    The power of luck!

    Luck?

    Chen Feng was rmed. This thing had indeed been dug out together with the Fate Stone!

    Shua!

    He waved his hand. A wondrous power surged into his hand as a faint radiance converged at the nib of the pen before blooming with a petrifying power. Next, countless illusions seemed to sh before his eyes.

    Bang!

    A boom erupted in Chen Feng¡¯s mind. At that instant, he could seemingly see countless illusory figures appearing on thisnd. Each of them was unprecedentedly powerful, far surpassing the so-called awakened ones.

    Bang!

    His mind boomed. He saw the stirring powers below this piece ofnd.

    Bang!

    A wondrous sound echoed. He could see the terrifying powers that were turning over like the clouds in the sky.

    Bang!

    Heaven and Earth seemed to resonate.

    He could seemingly see the entire world once again enveloped by darkness.

    ...

    Somewhere, amid a certain mountain range, a primordial giant elephant formed of light seemed to be awakening. One step at a time, the elephant stepped forth. Each step caused the world to shake, extremely dreadful.

    An old man waited as the primordial elephant walked toward him. "Hahahaha. Finally... the seal is going to be lifted?"

    Somewhere else, amid the boundless ocean, an ice-blue whale formed of light swam around the ocean. Everywhere the whale passed, all mutated beasts would retreat, not daring to approach the whale in the slightest. On the surface of the sea was a small boat. In the boat was a middle-aged man.

    A look of intense longing appeared on the middle-aged man¡¯s face. "Finally... Have you returned? I have been waiting a long time for you..."

    At the same time, at numerous ces worldwide, simr urrences were happening. Neighbors that had never appeared before finally left their house, seemingly waiting for something. Numerous powerful auras seemed to engulf the entire world.

    The rm system of the Research Agency was buzzing at the highest level of warning.

    "What happened?"

    "No idea."

    The Gic Union was simrly clueless.

    They could only feel that something extremely terrifying was appearing. At this moment, on this that was nearly fully explored, not a single safe ce could be found.

    "What exactly... is it?" The president had a solemn expression. With astonishment, he noticed that along with the appearance of all these bizarre phenomena, the bottleneck he had been stuck at for so many years was at the moment tottering, seemingly about to loosen up.

    At this time, in the Land of Legacy, Duma, who was calmly recovering, suddenly opened both his eyes.

    "Such power... how..." Fear appeared on his face. "Someone still reached this step in the end?"

    The thing he feared most had still happened. Such power... was obviously the power of resonance! Apanied by numerous booms, the entire world seemed to be in the midst of awakening.

    Duma sighed.

    Resonance... had still appeared in the end. He was a person who had experienced the Primordial Era. As such, he was aware of how dreadful resonance was. What was scary wasn¡¯t the power of resonance itself; rather, the significance of resonance was what was scary.

    It can no longer be prevented?

    He raised his head. At this moment, countless people were doing the same thing, gazing up at the numerous bizarre phenomena unfolding in the sky.

    "What is this?" Chen Feng was somewhat dumbfounded as he saw this. He had never expected that by merely using a single pen, something so terrifying would happen. After seeing this, he pulled the pen back forcefully.

    Shua!

    All the illusions vanished. The world recovered its previous tranquility.

    "Earlier..."

    There was still fear lingering in his heart. Illusions? No, he was sure that those had not been illusions. The power that had appeared when he had been controlling this pen had seemingly triggered the reaction of something, resulting in those bizarre phenomena.

    What was it? Chen Feng had no idea.

    "This thing..."

    He gazed at the pen in his hand. It seemed like he had to first put this pen away for now.

    For now, at least before he figured out the actual function of this pen, he would absolutely not dare to use it again. The scene he had seen earlier had truly been too scary. As he thought about it, he ced amon seal on the pen. It was a rather weak seal. However, it was still better than nothing.

    "Forget it."

    Chen Feng put the pen away. s, at faraway locations, the old man who had been about to touch the giant elephant, the middle-aged man who had been about to fuse with the giant whale, and numerous other experts worldwide that had been on the verge of getting in touch with the numerous phenomena that had appeared all discovered in stupefaction that in a single instant, everything had vanished.

    The giant elephant was gone.

    The giant whale was gone.

    Everything was gone.

    "???"

    "How is this possible?"

    "The power of resonance has already appeared. How can it be stopped?"

    "Since the resonance has been triggered and the phenomena were on the verge of rebirth, how is it possible for everything to be gone?"

    Everyone was dumbfounded.

    The booming sounds worldwide earlier had overwhelmed them with emotions. Each boom had been akin to a pound on their heart, boiling their blood. Next, during the final moment when they had been on the verge of sess, everything had vanished. How could they not be stupefied by this? They had been waiting for this for so many years!

    Some powerful existences weremunicating in secret. "Hateful!"

    "Since it can appear once, it can definitely appear a second time, right?"

    "That direction... seems to be Mysterious Town?"

    "There..."

    "Are the primordial remnants trying to reawaken the Primordial Era?"

    "That is possible."

    "The resonance has already appeared. Sooner orter, it will resound throughout the world. I will be waiting for that day."

    "So am I."

    Mysterious Town...

    Primordial...

    Slowly and gradually, these voices vanished again.

    In the Land of Legacy, Duma was watching on with an odd expression as everything unfolded. Even he, who had experienced the Primordial Era, had not expected that something like resonance could actually be stopped. This was somewhat inconceivable. Resonance was a unique concept. The moment it started, all powers rted to resonance would be affected as well. This was the reason why Duma hadn¡¯t even dared to mention it before. If one had to describe this so-called resonance, it was like a bell, an extremely huge bell.

    The moment one pounded the bell, it would start ringing. The ringing would grow louder and louder and would not stop before it reached its peak. This was exactly what resonance was. As for what had happened earlier? It had just started ringing, and before the sound wave could even travel far, it had vanished.

    Truly... unimaginable.

    Duma gazed in the direction of Mysterious Town. "Is Chen Feng the one who stopped that fellow?"

    This was the only conclusion he could reach. Evidently, he was not aware that in the first ce, Chen Feng had been the one causing the resonance. At present, Chen Feng, who was still unaware of the mess he had nearly caused, was calmly putting his pen away and starting to n his next steps.

    Mhm...

    This was the second region he had conquered. He raised his head. Indeed, the two regions he had passed had be nk areas¡ªnk areas amid a region of myriad colors.

    This is what an area without a primordial power looks like? Chen Feng pondered. He looked around and noted that most of the primordial fragments were resisting the whole primordial remnant. Some areas had still been conquered and possessed the same color as the whole primordial remnant. It seemed like Chen Feng wasn¡¯t the only one who needed to hasten his pace. That whole primordial remnant had also increased its pace.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "You have been changing history all the while?" He could not allow this fellow to continue this. Otherwise, nobody could imagine what would happen to the present era. After all, this fellow was altering the history of the Primordial Era.

    Suddenly, Spirit¡¯s voice sounded, "What is this?"

    "Don¡¯t know." Chen Feng shook his head and suddenly thought of something. "Did you see anything earlier?"

    Spirit shook her head. "I did not. But I can rey what happened earlier. Please wait a moment."

    Shua!

    A screen appeared. There, what had happened when Chen Feng¡¯s soul had traveled to Earth was reyed. Simrly, only a few seconds had passed in the present world this time as well. In the few short seconds, the purple dot on his neck had flickered suddenly before transforming into that pen.

    Chen Feng was shocked. "This purple dot..." He found that in the shown scene, even prior to his entry into Mysterious Town, the purple dot had remained on his neck.

    "What¡¯s up?" Spirit had an odd feeling. Wasn¡¯t the purple dot something that had always been on his neck? Why was he reacting like this?

    Suddenly, Chen Feng realized something. "So that¡¯s the case." In short, history had changed, resulting in him having this purple dot growing up. The purple dot had been hidden on his neck all along until this moment when he¡¯d returned to Earth. Only then had it awoken.

    Doubt shed through Chen Feng¡¯s eyes. "What are you, exactly?" The moment he used this thing, a formidable power would erupt from it. Chen Feng had a feeling that if he used it forcefully, something unimaginable would happen. That was why he had stopped it, as that something was akin to a barrier that would break apart with a single jab.

    Chen Feng contemted. If he was able to control the usage of this power and restrict it to a certain threshold that would not break that barrier...

    Shua!

    Once again, he took the pen out.

    Hum¡ª

    The booming sounds he expected to appear once again appeared.

    Everywhere around the world, it resounded. Those people that had concealed themselves, those experts that had just finished preparing to return to their long slumber, opened their eyes once again and, with a joyful expression, listened to the booming sounds.

    "Here ites!"

    "Haha, so it turns out that the stop earlier was merely an ident."

    "It is here again!"

    Everyone was ecstatic. Once again, the powerful phenomena appeared throughout the world.

    Filled with anticipation and in a fanatical manner, they waited for that legendary power. And next, just as they were about to touch the power, everything vanished once again.

    "???" Everyone was dumbstruck.

    "Gone again?"

    "Damn it, I was so near to regaining it."

    "What happened, exactly?"

    The numerous experts cast their senses out nkly and helplessly, searching for the aura that had vanished. They had obviously been on the verge of sess! Why had it suddenly disappeared? None of them had the answer. And now they felt rather awkward, as they did not know if they should return to where they had been hiding all this while. Should they go into slumber yet again? Or keep waiting?

    In case... in case it returned, then what? s, after waiting a long time, it did not reappear.

    "Perhaps fate has yet toe."

    They sighed in regret. s, right before they entered their slumber, once again, the booming resounded worldwide. That symphony of resonance, that pounding from the depths of their souls, was once again calling to them.

    Dong!

    Dong!

    Again!

    They waited in anticipation. Once again, the phenomena appeared.

    One step...

    Two steps...

    At the precise moment when they were about to touch the phenomena, everything vanished.

    All the experts raged. "F*ck!"

    "Screw this! Which asshole is doing this?"

    "Gone again!"

    "What¡¯s wrong with that bastard?"

    "What exactly is that fellow doing?"

    "No idea. This guy is like someone who can¡¯t pee smoothly..."

    They were all furious. Pacing back and forth, they waited, not knowing what to do. Subsequently, the booming indeed returned several times. Yet each time, it vanished at the crucial moment. Only a single one of them needed to seed for this resonance to remain for real, yet unfortunately, it did not happen.

    "Perhaps..." Suddenly, one of them thought of something. "I understand. After all, it has been very long since thisnd got a new awakened one. As such, a certain awakened one might have been trying to break through after obtaining some primordial power. The moment he finishesprehending the power of resonance, this mysterious veil that has been sealing us will be thoroughly torn apart."

    The rest pondered. "You are saying... He does not have sufficient strength?"

    "That¡¯s right! He¡¯s too weak!"

    "This should be a regr awakened one who identally found out about resonance and tried entering that realm. Unfortunately, the method he is using is too idiotic, resulting in this..."

    "Perhaps we can assist him."

    "Yes, that¡¯s feasible."

    The expertsmunicated with their senses. Only a little power needed to be lent to that person... They were all incredibly powerful existences that had been sealed on thisnd and couldn¡¯t leave for real unless the Primordial Era appeared once again. As such, it was not a problem for them to first lend a tiny bit of their power to that person. Perhaps... this was their only hope!

    As such, when the power of resonance appeared once again, all these legendary experts unleashed their powerful, rare, and precious power over to the origin of resonance.

    At this moment, in Mysterious Town, Chen Feng, who was waving the pen around, found with joy that his strength actually increased for no apparent reason.

    "Using this thing can actually increase my strength?"

    He was pleasantly surprised. It had been a long time since his strength hadst increased. He had initially believed that he would not be able to increase his strength anymore in his entire life. Unexpectedly, this mysterious pen was actually able to increase his strength.

    Splendid!

    "In any case, it will be fine so long as I don¡¯t go over that limit. I can try it out a few more times."

    The ted Chen Feng started acting ording to his ns.

    Shua! Shua!

    The pen in his hand fluttered around. Numerous powers surged out and converged together without stop. At this moment, all over the world, everyone was waiting in anticipation for the power of resonance to go over the limit required to lift their seal. They could vaguely feel that the power was increasing without stop.

    "He has be stronger."

    "Yes."

    "He will be able to break through sooner orter."

    Everyone was full of anticipation.

    They could personally feel the never-ending symphony of resonance. They waited as the symphony of resonance increased in intensity, waited for the moment of rebirth, waited as that person charged forth time and time again in his attempt to break through.

    However... wasn¡¯t he taking too long? The power at their disposal was already very rare and little in amount. However, even after channeling their power to that person, he still seemed stuck, forever unable to break through.

    Over and over.

    Soon, some of them gave up. However, some still persevered on. Depressingly, regardless of the amount of power they channeled over, that person was still stuck a tiny distance from breaking through.

    Thereupon, the legendary symphony of resonance behaved like some public speaker, being reyed over and over again.

    Toward the end, when this symphony resounded once again, all the experts merely watched on with stupefied expressions, watching as the phenomena appeared before vanishing, toozy to even stretch their hands out anymore.

    Swindler!

    They were all numb now.

    "This person is probably so stupid that he wouldn¡¯t be able toprehend resonance his whole life, right?"

    They all despaired. After so many years, the first person to touch upon the power of resonance was actually someone with such a terrible aptitude, someone so idiotic! Regardless of the amount of power they had channeled over, that person had still failed to break through.

    "Trash!" they cursed before finally deciding to ignore that person. They had never expected that a day woulde when they would hear the symphony they so yearned for to only feel annoyed by it, so annoyed that they feel like killing someone.

    Screw this resonance!

    Screw this symphony!

    At this time, Chen Feng, who was putting in great effort waving the pen around, found with regret that regardless of how he brandished the pen now, his strength seemed to have stopped increasing.

    "Is this thing exhausted of energy?"

    Chen Feng stopped with regret. He tried waving it onest time to confirm that this pen was no longer able to absorb any energy before stopping for real.

    "Not so special after all," Chen Feng muttered.

    Spirit: "..."

    These two were obviously clueless as to what had happened. The experts that had been awoken by the symphony of resonance obviously didn¡¯t expect that Chen Feng was the culprit messing around here.

    "The present you should be an expert even among awakened ones," Spirit said with a smile.

    "Yeah."

    Chen Feng sensed the surging power within him. He believed that for the present him, even if he had to meet Duma with force, he would have no fear. The strength he had obtained from the pen was indeed astonishingly powerful, even causing the energy within his body to undergo some sort of transformation.

    "This is enough."

    Chen Feng put the pen away, satisfied. This thing was too mysterious. Since it was no longer capable of absorbing energy for him, he might as well put it away. In any case, the increase in strength he had gained was sufficient for him to take a long time to digest.

    His mouth curled up, forming a smile. "Time to go to the next region."

    He waved his hand.

    Shua!

    The remaining primordial aura around him cleared away and a fragmentnded on the ground.

    Huh?

    He lowered his head and picked the fragment up. If his guess was correct, this green fragment was the thing that had brought him back to Earth earlier.

    "Many thanks," Chen Feng muttered.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint light shed past. At this instant, Chen Feng could clearly feel the primordial aura enveloping all of Mysterious Town weaken somewhat.

    He narrowed his eyes. "Interesting." It seemed like the more regions he conquered, the more the strength of thatplete primordial item would be adversely affected. To be precise, that primordial item had probably received bacsh from attempting to change history.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. Although that fellow was capable of using such an inconceivable method to change the world, Chen Feng was sure that the bacsh that fellow received was incredibly scary as well.

    All would be fine if its changes to history had seeded. But when it failed instead...

    Hehe.

    Chen Feng sneered. If his guess was correct, each history he saved would cause the enemy to suffer an intense bacsh. This was true regardless of whether it was the scarab race¡¯s history or his own.

    This fellow¡¯s strength was weakening. This was a chance for him.

    Chen Feng was sure that this primordial item was so powerful that one couldn¡¯t even begin to describe its prowess. However, regardless of how strong it was, when fighting against the primordial fragments in this city, when trying to change the history of these fragments, it would not be able to split its attention. As such, it had been rather helpless against Chen Feng.

    "It has no choice but to face these fragments with its full strength," Chen Feng contemted. "As such, it wasn¡¯t able to do anything to me, allowing me to easily obtain victory. However, the resulting effect of my previous victory in the scarab race¡¯s time was too great, angering it. Even if it couldn¡¯t do anything to me, it could still increase the range of its power to cover me as well. That¡¯s why it was able to enter Earth. However, its single mistake was that it did not expect that I actually came from a low-tier martial world, resulting in it utterly failing in its attempt to erase me."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. After the scarab race had been saved, he had been thanked. After he¡¯d shifted the attention from the green fragment to himself, he had been thanked as well. After being invaded once, it did not seem like the primordial item had attempted another invasion into his history.

    This signified that the history attached to a person could only be invaded once. Chen Feng was able to reach a conclusion soon enough. In short, that enemy would no longer be able to invade Chen Feng¡¯s history. He smiled as he thought of that. If so, there was no longer any need for him to worry.

    Distantly, the multicolored world remained. Evidently, the other fragments were still resisting tenaciously. Chen Feng stepped into one of the regions. Surprisingly, when he stepped in, this region seemed to be brimming with hostility against him. He sensed a strong rejection and also an intense killing intent.

    Hum¡ª

    The entire world seemed to be rejecting him. For no apparent reason, the second Chen Feng entered this world, he felt like everyone around him had suddenly focused their attention on him with vicious looks in their eyes.

    He was rmed. "Not good."

    Leave!

    Without hesitation, he left.

    Bang!

    The enemies chased after him together. As he ran, he pondered. This familiar aura was indeed still the Primordial Era. However, why had he received such an intense rejection the moment he¡¯d arrived? After thinking for a bit, he understood. It seemed like the primordial item had obtained the upper hand in its fight against the primordial fragment of this particr history. As such, this world was on the verge of bing a world belonging to that mysterious consciousness. Since its attention had been focused on Chen Feng all along, the moment he had appeared here, he had be everyone¡¯s enemy.

    So that was the case. Chen Feng finally understood.

    Swish! Swish!

    Countless enemies chased after him.

    Chen Feng frowned. Among these pursuers, even the weakest was an awakened one. Enemies at the same level as him were all incredibly terrifying, and they were great in number as well.

    He sighed. "This way, I won¡¯t be able to flee at all."

    He had been neglectful. He had never expected that he would actually arrive in a world where the history transformation was on the verge of sess. That mysterious consciousness had obviously arrived here a long time ago. The original primordial fragment of this history was on the verge of defeat.

    What to do? Leave? Chen Feng smiled bitterly. He had no way of leaving. During his previous ventures, he had only been forcefully removed after the end of the mission. By himself, he was incapable of exiting this world.

    Shua!

    The number of enemies around him increased, each of them incredibly powerful. Earlier, only ordinary awakened ones had been chasing after him. Now, even stronger existences had appeared. Chen Feng even felt a certain terrifying power scanning him. He couldn¡¯tst much longer.

    Shua! Shua!

    Numerous powerful auras surged out. Even the bunkers and nonliving hiding ces Chen Feng tried hiding in were filled with intense rejection toward him. If he hid behind a stone, the stone would, in an absurd manner, roll away. If he hid behind a tree, the tree would suddenly wilt away.

    This feeling... it was as if this entire world was going to be under the control of that mysterious consciousness soon enough. Chen Feng was clear that the moment history here was changed¡ªfor example, as a result of the death of a certain someone¡ªthis world would immediately vanish and the real history would change. Chen Feng would probably be killed immediately as well.

    This wouldn¡¯t do. He looked at the awakened ones chasing after him. At this moment, his thoughts were unprecedentedly clear as he looked around and noticed that the distant forest would probably be helpful for him.

    s, just as he neared the forest, the ground started shaking, spurting great amounts ofva out.

    Chen Feng: "???"

    Lava shooting out of a forest?

    What in the world? Screw you! Even if this world has enmity toward me, you should follow the naturalws, right? Is theva of your family produced from forests? What in the world? Why not drop some des from the sky while you¡¯re at it?

    Bang!

    Just as this thought crossed his mind, numerous des brushed past his body andnded on the ground underneath, shocking Chen Feng to the point that he was soaked with cold sweat.

    This...

    He raised his head abruptly. In the sky, numerous ice des were raining down upon him. The ice des were as sharp as steel des, falling down ferociously. Some beasts that were unable to dodge in time were instantly sliced into numerous pieces by the falling des.

    "Fine, you are indeed amazing."

    Chen Feng turned around and escaped immediately. s, it seemed like it was somewhat toote. The terrifying rain of ice des and the tsunami ofva had seeminglypletely surrounded him.

    Mysterious Town.

    Qin Hai was stepping in from the edge of the town.

    Hum¡ª

    An intense force surged and bounced him away.

    "Still can¡¯t enter?" He frowned. "Chen Feng has already cleared two regions, yet this repelling force is still so strong. This primordial item is actually so powerful."

    Shua.

    He took out a turtle shell.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance swirled around. Once again, he tried stepping in. The repelling force was counteracted by the swirling light. Finally, Qin Hai was able to enter Mysterious Town. After walking past two nk regions, he saw Chen Feng. At present, the aura around Chen Feng was incredibly unstable.

    "Something has happened?"

    He recalled what his master had told him. Without hesitation, he pointed at Chen Feng.

    Bang!

    A powerful aura swept out and instantly engulfed Chen Feng¡¯s aura. Next, the aura rapidlybined together with the environmental aura, forming a new power.

    At this instant, within the primordial world, the sea ofva and rain of des that had surrounded Chen Feng vanished the moment before they reached him.

    Hum¡ª

    A peculiar aura swept past. Instantly, the forest returned to its previous appearance. The forest that had initially been so deste that it couldn¡¯t hide anyone started growing crazily. In a single second, the vegetation grew so huge and dense that the sky and earth seemed to be covered by it. Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s figure and aura vanished amid the dense and lush forest.

    "Huh?"

    Those people chasing after him were dumbstruck. Previously, there had been suddenva and ice des. Now, the forest had suddenly be lush. What in the world was going on? None of them had a clue. They tried entering the forest to look for Chen Feng. With grief, they found that looking for a person in such a lush forest was simply an impossible task.

    As for Chen Feng, he could keenly feel that the this world¡¯s hostility toward him had vanished. Moreover, this world was presently showing goodwill to him instead of the previous hostility. As such, the world was now operating in a way that favored him.

    "Why?" Chen Feng was doubtful as he muttered, "Is it because of my earlier promation that this fellow is indeed amazing?"

    "Why don¡¯t you call me amazing instead?" sounded the grumbling voice of Qin Hai.

    "Qin Hai?" Chen Feng was pleasantly surprised. "How did you enter?"

    He remembered clearly that only awakened ones could enter this town.

    "Master gave me a turtle shell," Qin Hai said.

    "So with a turtle shell, anyone can enter?" Chen Feng pondered. He recalled the turtle shell he had obtained in the first region. So it turned out that the shells of the scarab race had such special functions as well. He had previously thought that turtle shells could only be used to cook some soup.

    Qin Hai: "..."

    "What happened earlier?" Chen Feng asked as he looked at the dense forest around him.

    "Aura synchronization." Qin Hai continued, "I transmitted your aura to the primordial fragment of this region, causing it to be able to sense your aura and sync your aura with its aura. With this, this world will no longer reject you."

    "I see." Chen Feng finally understood.

    "That whole primordial item that is controlling everything, that mysterious consciousness¡¯s name is Dream Recall Bell, a little bell. Initially, it was an item crafted by some superexpert to remember and to visit his dead rtives when he missed them by traveling into the past. Subsequently, though, this item became one of the strongest surviving primordial remnants. It had zerobat power, yet it was capable of controlling space and time. After awakening its own consciousness, it became one of the most vicious weapons in existence, an extremely powerful existence." Qin Hai continued, "For an unknown reason, it awakened right at this time. Such a coincidence is supposed to be impossible."

    "Dream Recall Bell..." Chen Feng muttered.

    Qin Hai continued, "This is an information master obtained from his inherited memories. After waking up, the first thing this fellow did was forcefully enter the Primordial Era and tamper with the timeline before other powerful primordial remnants could awake, turning this bell into a true immortal. However, it had expected these primordial fragments to actually resist it when it was attempting to alter history."

    "Now that you say this, I have some doubts." Chen Feng asked, "Since this fellow is so powerful and possesses an independent consciousness, why must it tamper with the history of the races whose primordial fragments were here? For example, the scarab race earlier via the scarab-race shell fragment. If the bell had instead selected to alter the history of other races whose primordial fragments were not here, it would be able to change history much more easily, right?"

    This was Chen Feng¡¯s doubt. If this fellow was truly able to change the history of any target it wished to, why not change the history of a race whose primordial fragment wasn¡¯t here? Why did it have to choose to suffer the counterattacks of all these fragments?

    "First, it was too arrogant and did not bother about these fragments at all, since it is whole, unlike the others, which are still fragments. As such, it never expected that these fragments would still be able to resist it with their mere instinct. By the time it noticed this, it was already toote, like the rider of a tiger who is having a hard time getting off. Second..." Qin Hai pondered and said, "Perhaps this Dream Recall Bell requires some sort of coordinates to return to the past as well and is unable to return to any point of time freely. In any case, some sort of channel is required, like how the twin-horns race reached this world. Without coordinates, those fellows would have had no way of reaching this. Perhaps... this is the case for Dream Recall Bell as well."

    "If so, a single fragment should be sufficient, right?" Chen Feng pondered and said, "Although there are numerous fragments here, each with their own stories, most of them are of the same era, the Primordial Era. To return to the Primordial Era, one of the fragments would be sufficient, right?"

    Qin Hai shook his head. "I am honestly clueless. Regarding your doubts, how are you even sure that the histories of the fragments that are not here have remained the same?"

    What?

    Chen Feng contemted and was instantly overwhelmed with fear. True. What was the original history of the Primordial Era? What was the present history of the Primordial Era? Nobody could answer that. Therefore, it was possible that the Dream Recall Bell had already altered the entire Primordial Era, changing everything in a direction that was beneficial to itself. What they were seeing presently could very well be the results of a changed history. Only the primordial fragments here were still stubbornly resisting.

    It wasn¡¯t that the Dream Recall Bell had only selected to change the history of these primordial fragments. Rather, the entire world had already been changed, with these fragments being the leftovers. If that was truly the case...

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Hiss¡ª"

    Qin Hai continued, "Therefore, we must hang on. Master¡¯s opinion is to not worry too much about this. Although the Dream Recall Bell is capable of altering a huge portion of the Primordial Era¡¯s history, the truly important and powerful existences of the Primordial Era all have some primordial fragments left behind. So long as the changes here are unsessful, the core events of the Primordial Era will not change. Those powerful races such as the scarab race are simply impossible to be cleanly erased. They will not allow a mere Dream Recall Bell to alter their history. As such, their fight will also be our opportunity. For instance, what¡¯s happening now."

    Chapter 667: ???

    "Come, then!" Chen Feng said with a sharp gaze.

    "This primordial fragment did not recognize you. Hence, when you entered, both this fragment and the Dream Recall Bell regarded you as an enemy. That is why you experienced the full malice of this world. After I transmitted your thoughts to this fragment, this fragment epted you as being on the same side and showed you the maximum amount of kindness. This is our chance. I will sync you with the fragment while you go deal with Dream Recall Bell," Qin Hai said.

    "Understood."

    Once again, Chen Feng set off. With Qin Hai¡¯s help and the goodwill of this world, Chen Feng was like a fish back in water. The circumstances that had initially favored the Dream Recall Bell were being reversed. Once again, its attempt to change history failed.

    Bang!

    Light swirled around and Chen Feng returned to the real world. Once again, the Dream Recall Bell¡¯s aura surrounding the town weakened.

    "It is injured."

    Chen Feng was overjoyed. It was indeed as he had guessed. Each time he stopped history from changing, the bell would suffer bacsh.

    Hum¡ª

    The region he was in was now cleared.

    "If this continues, it won¡¯t be long before we are done with this fellow. Let¡¯s go."

    Decisively, he entered the next region.

    "Together." Qin Hai nodded and followed behind him. Surprising them, the instant they entered the next region, the Dream Recall Bell¡¯s aura, which had previously been weakened, instantly surged. The berserk aura swept through the entire Mysterious Town, locking on to Qin Hai.

    "Not good."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart thumped as he had an ominous feeling. He grabbed out, trying to hold on to Qin Hai, yet his hand grabbed at empty air. Qin Hai¡¯s body had actually transformed into countless particles before dissipating away in the air. Just like that, he evaporated from this world. As for Chen Feng¡¯s memories of Qin Hai, they were gradually vanishing as well.

    History... the history pertaining to Qin Hai had been altered!

    "It has arrived?" Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. As his history had also been invaded once, the bell could no longer attack his history. As such, it had switched its target to Qin Hai¡¯s history instead. This very instant was what Chen Feng had been waiting for.

    Shua!

    Borrowing this unique aura, Chen Feng instantly fused himself with the primordial aura around him.

    Bang!

    Indeed, with a loud boom, light swirled before Chen Feng¡¯s eyes as he once again entered a brand new world. This was the Gic Era, the world containing the history of Qin Hai.

    "Huh?" Chen Feng felt that something was wrong. This was indeed the Gic Era. However, the time...

    Chen Feng looked at the crude-looking things before him and checked the calendar. He discovered with shock that this was 20 years ago. In other words...

    Chen Feng was able to pinpoint the crux immediately. "This is the time of Qin Hai¡¯s parents."

    Same with my parents?

    Chen Feng looked around. No, it was different. In Chen Feng¡¯s history, he had still been a baby, yet here in Qin Hai¡¯s history, Qin Hai had yet toe into existence. Moreover, at this point in time, his parents hadn¡¯t even officially gotten together yet.

    Chen Feng looked at the Qin family¡¯s house, which was filled with wedding decorations. If he guessed correctly, that bell had selected the point in time when Qin Hai¡¯s parents were getting married.

    "Since Qin Hai vanished..." Chen Feng narrowed his eyes, certain that history had indeed been tampered with. One did not need a brain to figure this out. As Chen Feng had guessed, a valiant-looking middle-aged man had appeared and spoiled the wedding forcefully, causing the two to be unable to get married.

    Chen Feng sighed. "The bride has been snatched away?"

    "No." The Qin family people nked. "He... he kidnapped our young master."

    "What?"

    Chen Feng was dumbstruck. Qin Hai¡¯s father?

    "He imed that both he and Qin Hai love each other dearly. Since society cannot ept their rtionship, they have decided to live in seclusion amid the mountains," the Qin family people said in a daze.

    Chen Feng: "???"

    What in the world?

    Ever since he had figured out that this Dream Recall Bell had an independent consciousness, he had treated this bell as a living person. However, he had never expected that this bell was in fact a fujoshi as well. This was too excessive!

    "What did your young master say, then?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Before he could say anything, he was dragged away. That person was too strong," the Qin family people said with bitter smiles.

    "That¡¯s right, then." Chen Feng sneered. "Your young master must have definitely been kidnapped by force. Otherwise, why would the enemy not even give him a chance to say anything? Now, we only need to snatch him back."

    "Ah? But..."

    "There are no buts." Chen Feng interrupted that person and said, "You can let me do the rest. You guys only need to stabilize the situation here."

    Chen Feng couldn¡¯t be bothered to continue talking much with them. He unleashed his powerful aura, causing the people here to not dare disobey him. After all, even if it was the Gic Era, Chen Feng was still the strongest human.

    Following the aura of Qin Hai¡¯s father, Chen Feng trailed after them. That so-called expert might be strong. However, at most, he would only be a beyond A ss, not an opponent of Chen Feng¡¯s. However, surprisingly, the Dream Recall Bell had been staying silent all this while.

    He frowned. "This is illogical." That fellow should be trying to stop him by any means, right? Based on his understanding of that bell, if it suddenly cked on its interruptions of Chen Feng like this, that signified that the bell was presently putting its focus somewhere else. Had Qin Hai¡¯s father been killed? That was not possible.

    The bell was aware of Chen Feng¡¯s strength. Even if Qin Hai¡¯s father was killed, Chen Feng would still be able to make use of the Qin family¡¯s bloodline to put forth a puppet. In any case, he only needed to maintain Qin Hai¡¯s childhood memory. A mere death would not be able to stop him, since in this history, he was still the strongest. Here, he was omnipotent.

    As such, the bell would most certainly not use such a brutish method against him and would employ some unique methods instead. As an example, what had happened when it had tried to tell Chen Feng¡¯s parents the truth. This was a confrontation of wits rather than a pure confrontation of force.

    Chen Feng contemted. "What tricks are you ying this time?" Based on what the Qin family people had mentioned, their young master had been kidnapped two days ago. Was that why Qin Hai¡¯s history had changed?

    However, it did not matter. Chen Feng believed that so long as he found Qin Hai¡¯s father, he could ensure that everything would return to normal. At the very least, he could ensure that Qin Hai¡¯s father would get married within the shortest time possible. Chen Feng had this much confidence in himself.

    Naturally, this confidence onlysted until he finally found Qin Hai¡¯s father...

    Mhm...

    This was a lush mountainous area.

    Mhm...

    He was rolling around on the ground with his kidnapper.

    Mhm...

    A scene that should be censored was ying out presently.

    ...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng lost all his confidence. Finally, he understood where that bell had focused its strength. It had actually forcefully "bent" the "preferences" of Qin Hai¡¯s father.

    Chen Feng was thoroughly dumbstruck. What in the world?

    "Are you someone sent here by father?"

    Qin Hai¡¯s father and that middle-aged man scrambled up in a flustered manner.

    "I... I don¡¯t wish to marry a female," Qin Hai¡¯s father dered firmly. Next, he gazed tenderly at the middle-aged man beside him and said, "Meeting him was the greatest joy in this life of mine. Please return. Sorry, we both truly love each other."

    "..."

    Chen Feng looked at the two that were holding hands in front of him, and he was utterly speechless.

    Chapter 668: I Shall Bend You Back!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    What to do? Chen Feng had a solemn expression. He had thought of countless possibilities¡ªfor instance, Qin Hai¡¯s father being killed. If that were what had happened, he would have gotten a fake Qin Hai¡¯s father and ensured Qin Hai¡¯s childhood memories were still the same. Even if Qin Hai¡¯s father had been castrated, Chen Feng could have produced a brand new "tool" for him. No matter how hard it would be, he would have been able to aplish it, as he was strong enough.

    However, he had never expected that Qin Hai¡¯s father would actually be "bent" so thoroughly.

    "Erm..."

    Chen Feng spent a long time thinking yet could not figure out what to say. He had zero experience in convincing those with unique tastes to return to their roots, get married, and make babies. He looked at Qin Hai¡¯s father¡¯s resolute gaze and even started feeling like he was the viin here.

    He sighed. He entertained the thought of killing Qin Hai¡¯s father directly and preparing a puppet to give birth to a "Qin Hai" instead. However, he had to give up on this thought. He was certain that the Dream Recall Bell had some backup ns waiting for him if he did that. It would not be wise to kill now.

    In any case, this was Qin Hai¡¯s father. Could he truly bring himself to kill this man?

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "Things will be troublesome this way." If the ordinary method did not seem like it would work, he had no choice but to pick a different option, to brainwash Qin Hai¡¯s father. Chen Feng personally believed that as an illustrious awakened one, brainwashing an ordinary gic warrior shouldn¡¯t pose him much trouble. Unexpectedly, his brainwashing was totally ineffective.

    All mind-affecting abilities seemedpletely ineffective against Qin Hai¡¯s father. He was presently madly in love, resulting in a dramatic increase in his willpower. Unless he was truly killed or destroyed, nothing could change his mind.

    The middle-aged man gazed at Qin Hai¡¯s father and said, "Our love willst forever."

    "We would rather suffer death than be separated," Qin Hai¡¯s father said resolutely.

    Chen Feng: ...

    What a useless father!

    Chen Feng decided to try changing Qin Hai¡¯s father¡¯s mind about the bride. "You and your bride seem to have known each other from a young age and have a good rtionship with each other, right?"

    "I know, but I have always seen her as a little sister. She is younger than me. Therefore, she has always behaved mischievously. Naturally, I love her dearly as well. However, that is mere familial love," Qin Hai¡¯s father replied seriously.

    Chen Feng tried leading him on. "Since you see her as a mere sister, do you happen to be interested in incest?"

    Qin Hai¡¯s father was stupefied. "What?"

    Chen Feng sighed. "Forget it." Indeed, Qin Hai¡¯s father was not interested in an incestuous rtionship. In that case, this would be hard to solve. But then, this was rather eptable, as if Qin Hai¡¯s father had been interested in incestuous rtionships, if after Qin Hai¡¯s birth... Mhm...

    Chen Feng cut short this line of thought. He felt like pursuing this line of thought would result in some NSFW scenes.

    I need to think of something.

    Chen Feng sank into contemtion.

    "Perhaps I can ask around on the inte?"

    Chen Feng pondered and decided that perhaps collecting ideas from a wider pool of people would be better for solving something like this. As such, he posted a thread online: "How to turn a gay straight? To fall in love with a woman?"

    Yet instead of answering his question, the onlineizens all started being grammar nazis, all getting into an intense argument on the proper grammar of his question, getting totally off topic.

    Chen Feng: "???"

    Even the onlinemunity during the era of Qin Hai¡¯s father was so terrible? Forget it. He should think of a way himself.

    Chen Feng checked the time. Based on the proper timeline, Qin Hai¡¯s father should get married within two days. After several months, his wife would be pregnant with little Qin Hai.

    Mhm...

    There was still some time for him to solve this. In any case, a few days of dy should not cause any major changes. He refused to believe that he couldn¡¯t straighten this fellow out.

    "You know of my strength," Chen Feng said coldly. "I will give you a test and see if you are truly not straight. If you can pass the test, I will allow you two to be together forever. If you fail, obediently go back and get married. Naturally, you have no rights to protest against this test."

    "All right," Qin Hai¡¯s father decisively agreed. Evidently, he was confident in himself.

    "Let¡¯s go."

    Chen Feng dragged Qin Hai¡¯s father away. Next...

    "During these two days, stay with her and have a short incursion here."

    Chen Feng gave Qin Hai¡¯s father the best environment, a beautiful beach with everything paid for and an astonishingly beautiful, mature woman with a seductive figure, hoping that this would lead to them doing the deed.

    s...

    Chen Feng was disappointed.

    He spent two days observing them and noted that Qin Hai¡¯s father was as calm as ever. He was extremely courteous and polite toward this pretty woman. Even after she stripped herself naked andy on his body, he still had the same calm expression on his face.

    Holy shit, is he truly no longer straight now?

    Chen Feng sighed deeply.

    Change!

    And thus, Chen Feng got a younger female for Qin Hai¡¯s father instead. This time, he gave Qin Hai¡¯s father a youthful and energetic girl that was extremely adorable. s, it was still pointless, as this time, Qin Hai¡¯s father merely treated her as a little child, assuming the identity of a father, taking care of her properly without going overboard at all.

    Change!

    Chen Feng adjusted his strategy without stop, offering numerous types of women to Qin Hai¡¯s father, certain that there had to be one that Qin Hai¡¯s father would prefer.

    s, none of them caught Qin Hai¡¯s father¡¯s attention. From youthful girls to seductive sisters, from nurses to deliverydies... All sorts of women were supplied to Qin Hai¡¯s father. Anything a pimp had to offer was offered to him. An illustrious awakened one like Chen Feng had almost changed his profession to a pimp already, yet it was still ineffective. Qin Hai¡¯s father still appeared as calm as ever.

    Chen Feng¡¯s head ached greatly. "What the hell."

    "I told you. It is true love between me and him," Qin Hai¡¯s father said earnestly. "Now, have I passed the test?"

    "..." Chen Feng looked at him with a gloomy expression. "Mhm... Yeah, in a way. However, before that, you have one final test. So long as you pass this test as well, I will send you back."

    Qin Hai¡¯s father was filled with confidence. "All right."

    Chen Feng sneered. "Hehe." You are the one who forced me to do this!

    This might be somewhat cruel and inhuman for Qin Hai¡¯s father. However, there was no other choice. The changed history had to be corrected! As such, on that night, Chen Feng kidnapped the bride and tossed her at Qin Hai¡¯s father. Mind-control abilities were useless against him? It did not matter. Drugs would work, right?

    As such, on the second day, the cheerful Chen Feng looked at the parents of Qin Hai who had already done the deed. Hehe, with this, there will be hope for Qin Hai.

    "Wuwu...you lied to me..."

    Qin Hai¡¯s father wrapped the nket around himself and cried, "How could you do this?"

    Qin Hai¡¯s mother was instead the calm one. After all, since adulthood, she had already been aware that she would one day be married to this guy. As such, she did not reject this.

    "Don¡¯t worry." Qin Hai¡¯s mother patted Qin Hai¡¯s father¡¯s shoulder and said, "I will take responsibility for this."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    How manly of her!

    Since the hardest part was already done, what was next would be easy to deal with. And thus, under Chen Feng¡¯s great effort, the twopleted the wedding and gave birth to little Qin Hai. As for whether their lives were happy or not, that wasn¡¯t something Chen Feng could care about. However, to be safe, he taught Qin Hai¡¯s mother the recipe for a certain drug. In any case, the moment Qin Hai¡¯s father became disobedient, she would drug him.

    Mhm...

    As simple as that, history was corrected.

    Hum¡ª

    Light swirled before his eyes. Chen Feng returned and found that Qin Hai had indeed returned!

    Chen Feng was overjoyed.

    However, for an unknown reason, he found that this time, the gaze when Qin Hai looked at him seemed somewhat odd. That feeling... was sending a chill down his spine.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. Holy shit, it can¡¯t be that he found out his dad is gay, right?

    In Mysterious Town, Chen Feng¡¯s chrysanthemum chilled as he saw the tender gaze Qin Hai was using to look at him. Just as he was about to conclude that Qin Hai had indeed been "bent" as well, Qin Hai said, "Since I have appeared here, that means you have sessfully stopped history from changing?"

    Chen Feng scratched his head. "Oh, yes."

    Qin Hai heaved a sigh of relief. "That¡¯s good, then. My mind nked earlier. Next thing I knew, you were standing there motionless. I figured that you had to be changing history again. Since I am still standing here helping you, it shows that there have been no changes in history. My memory is still intact. This proves that we have been sessful this time as well."

    "Mhm..." Chen Feng recalled his act of drugging Qin Hai¡¯s father and felt somewhat guilty. "I... guess so?"

    "Which timeline did you go to this time?" Qin Hai asked.

    "The point in time when your parents got married," Chen Feng answered.

    "I see." Qin Hai pondered. "I did hear that something dramatic happened during their marriage. I suppose that was what they were talking about. In any case, everything has been solved smoothly. It is said that when my parents encountered some mishap, my godfather rescued them. My godfather subsequently became the strongest expert of the Qin family."

    "Godfather..." Chen Feng pondered. Holy shit. The so-called godfather was that man, right? Qin Hai¡¯s father had been truly amazing to have been able to find a way to keep his man at the Qin family after all.

    "Although my memories seem intact, I keep feeling like something is wrong." Qin Hai sank into contemtion.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Qin Hai looked at Chen Feng and asked, "I can¡¯t decide what¡¯s wrong with only my own memories. Can you tell me if anything has changed?" As the one who had personally participated in this incident, Chen Feng should have retained the original memory. As such...

    Chen Feng sighed. "Are you sure you want to know?"

    "Yes," Qin Hai answered resolutely.

    "All right. The general situation had remained the same." Chen Feng pondered and summed it up: "There were only some changes regarding some minute details. During my battle with the bell, some negligible details changed."

    Qin Hai was still feeling doubtful. "For example?"

    Chen Feng sighed. "For example, your father was originally not gay."

    Qin Hai: "..."

    Chen Feng sighed deeply. "Originally, you had no godfather either. This godfather was in fact your father¡¯s lover."

    Qin Hai: "..."

    These were the so-called negligible changes?

    "There¡¯s more..." Chen Feng was about to continue.

    Qin Hai smiled bitterly. "Forget it." In any case, the Qin family was no more. They should let the dead rest in peace. Since it was all in the past, there was no need to keep thinking about it. There was no need for him to know all this. At the very least, the general direction of history had not changed. That alone was sufficient.

    Chen Feng raised his head. "This ce..."

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance swirled around. Once again, one region of the Mysterious Town was cleared, and once again, the aura of the Dream Recall Bell weakened. The aura that had originally enveloped the entire town was presently wavering as the radiance of the bell¡¯s aura flickered about.

    "Huh?" Qin Hai was astonished. "What¡¯s the matter?"

    "It can¡¯t repress itself anymore." Chen Feng was pleased. "The Dream Recall Bell used its own strength to change the Primordial Era but was resisted by these primordial fragments. It has forcefully suppressed them, resulting in the appearance of these regions of numerous colors. However, after its repeated failure at our hands, its strength has weakened and it is no longer able to suppress these fragments."

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Numerous rming auras erupted. Those tiny primordial fragments erupted with astonishing power, forcefully piercing through the Dream Recall Bell¡¯s blockade and suppressing the bell in return.

    Hum¡ª

    Instantly, all the colors vanished. Chen Feng and Qin Hai looked at this sudden change with joy. They had never expected that after being weakened, the Dream Recall Bell would itself be suppressed. Ultimately, this was still Mysterious Town, and the primordial remnants were still powerful, even if they were at present mere fragments.

    Bang!

    The powerful primordial auras started counterattacking. Chen Feng and Qin Hai watched on hopefully. If these fragments could obtain victory...

    Bang! Bang!

    Countless fragments fused their primordial auras together and subjected the Dream Recall Bell to an intense suppression. Just as Chen Feng thought that this was going to end, suddenly, the Dream Recall Bell trembled slightly.

    Ring¡ª

    Ring¡ª

    Ring¡ª

    An odd aura waffled out of the bell before enveloping the entire town. The ringing seemed to be apanied by some bizarre sound wave.

    Hum¡ª

    The ringing waffled past. At this instant, Chen Feng felt like the world before his eyes was somewhat misced.

    "Could this be..."

    Chen Feng and Qin Hai exchanged nces, and they were both evidently shocked.

    Shua!

    Light swirled. When they refocused their attention, the view before their eyes had already changed.

    Blue sky.

    Grasnd.

    Powerful auras everywhere.

    This... was the Primordial Era!

    "We are here again."

    Chen Feng was shocked. They had actually returned to the Primordial Era yet again. Different than their previous travels, this time, there were no fragments, nor was there a plot for them to solve. Rather, the Dream Recall Bell had forcefully sent everyone here. This was thebined history of all the fragments contained in the Mysterious Town. This was the true Primordial Era.

    "Has the bell gone crazy?"

    Qin Hai could not understand the logic of this. By returning to the past, there would be a chance to change history. For the Dream Recall Bell to send all of them, including the other fragments, back to the past, wasn¡¯t it giving them a chance to alter history as well? Wasn¡¯t this an act of courting death?

    "Is this a move of desperation from the bell?" Chen Feng guessed.

    But this conclusion wasn¡¯t reliable. Chen Feng had already shed with the bell a few times thus far. He was aware of how meticulous and intelligent this bell was. Even during a moment of crisis, this bell would not do something stupid.

    "It is impossible for the bell to be sessful this way. The bell has returned all the fragments back to the past. Combining all the auras to forcefully alter all their histories is akin to altering the entirety of the Primordial Era in a single attempt," Qin Hai analyzed. "This is much harder than all the previous attempts at only changing one single point in history."

    This act of the Dream Recall Bell¡¯s was no different than courting death. This was Chen Feng and Qin Hai¡¯s initial conclusion.

    After all, the bell was already finding it hard to alter the history of a single primordial fragment. The multicolored regions of Mysterious Town were evidence of the intense battle between the bell and these fragments. Yet now the bell had decided to alter the histories of all the fragments in a single attempt? Forcefullybining all the auras of the fragments together? Wasn¡¯t this courting death?

    However, right at this instant, distantly, a ray of light pierced straight through the clouds. A g with a mysterious aura was nted on the summit of a tribe, and the powerful aura engulfed the entire Primordial Era. On the g was a single word: Dream.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. "That..."

    At the same time, throughout the primordial world, simr gs appeared one after another, as if they had received some sort ofmand.

    An orderly howl resounded.

    Howl¡ª

    Howl¡ª

    The earth trembled, and the sky filled with numerous primordial beasts. That familiar aura, that aura unique to the Dream Recall Bell, was at this moment sweeping through the entire primordial world.

    "This..." Chen Feng inhaled deeply. Dream Recall Bell! This was the work of that Dream Recall Bell!

    Finally, Qin Hai understood. "Those races..." The Dream Recall Bell had indeed altered the entire Primordial Era. Its initial goal had been to change the entire Primordial Era in the first ce. As for those fragments at the Mysterious Town, they had merely been a small part of the Primordial Era that had still been resisting stubbornly.

    Even though they had been sessful in their resistance, the entirety of the Primordial Era, apart from the races these fragments came from, had long been conquered by the Dream Recall Bell. Previously, in its fight against Mysterious Town, the bell had merely shown a small portion of its strength. Its true strength had all been focused on changing the numerous races of the Primordial Era. These were the races that had not left behind any primordial fragments, the races incapable of stopping any changes in history.

    Now, the Dream Recall Bell had finally seeded. In the final moment before it had been fully defeated by the fragments in Mysterious Town, it had seeded. Without hesitation, it had transferred all the fragments here to the Primordial Era it had recently conquered, since this was now an era belonging to the Dream Recall Bell. This was a dynasty custom built for itself by the Dream Recall Bell.

 Chapter 670: Astonishing Conduct

    Chapter 670: Astonishing Conduct

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Kill!

    With the intense killing intent surging at them, Chen Feng and Qin Hai could only conceal themselves. Fortunately, Chen Feng¡¯s Luck Aura was still active, assisting them in avoiding the first round of searches. Despite that, their circumstance did not seem good. This was the Dream Recall Dynasty, where 90% of the races had already fallen under the control of the Dream Recall Bell. Only the races whose primordial fragments had been in Mysterious Town were still resisting stubbornly. Even so, they would not be able tost long.

    This was unlike the one-on-one battles that had happened in Mysterious Town. Rather, this was the concentration of all races conquered by Dream Recall Bell in a single era. Victory seemed impossible, even for the primordial fragments. They were all in their own respective locations in this primordial world, making it possible for the grand army of the Dream Recall Dynasty to eliminate them one by one.

    The primordial world had fallen into absolute chaos.

    ...

    Chen Feng gazed into the distance. "They won¡¯t be able tost long."

    As the primordial fragments were all powerful, they were still resisting in their respective locations. However, the moment the grand army of the Dream Recall Dynasty arrived, there would only be one conclusion for them.

    Qin Hai smiled bitterly. "The moment the Primordial Era falls, the Gic Era will vanish as well." Without a doubt, changing the Primordial Era would affect the future. What direction would a worldpletely united by the Dream Recall Dynasty take? It was unknown.

    "True..." Chen Feng muttered. History was on the verge of being changed. Who could stop it? By fighting? That wouldn¡¯t work. This was the Primordial Era, where Chen Feng¡¯s strength as an awakened was nothing but the strength of cannon fodder. They did not dare to even get involved in any major battles. Even merely being discovered would result in their death.

    "Right now, we can only do one thing." Qin Hai took in a deep breath. "Seek reinforcements. Beforeing, Master gave me a turtle shell. Even in the Primordial Era, I can still ask for reinforcements with it."

    Chen Feng was astonished. "It works even here?"

    Qin Hai nodded. "Naturally. The shell is here on me."

    As he spoke, he took out the turtle shell. This thing had also followed his soul to the Primordial Era. In the present in Mysterious Town, there was still one on his physical body as well.

    Hum¡ª

    Qin Hai activated it. At the same time, both the shell in the Primordial Era and in Mysterious Town started shining with a faint light.

    "Done." After sending the signal, Qin Hai said, "Master told me that he found several strong helpers that might be able to help us deal with this. Although the Dream Recall Bell is undefeatable here, history has yet to be totally changed. We still have time. As long as we get rid of the physical Dream Recall Bell in Mysterious Town before that happens..."

    This was Qin Hai¡¯s n. Although the Dream Recall Bell was undefeatable here in the Primordial Era, it wasn¡¯t undefeatable at the present time. Now, all its strength had been used to send everyone into the Primordial Era. If so, the physical body of the bell in Mysterious Town might be rather weak now.

    "The more of its power that is focused here, the weaker it will be in the present," Qin Hai analyzed calmly. "After those people receive the distress signal, they will most certainly enter the town. When they discover that something is odd with the bell, they will destroy it!"

    Chen Feng nodded. Worthy of being Qin Hai indeed. His n was indeed more reliable than Chen Feng¡¯s. Chen Feng himself had thought of some things, but none of them seemed reliable. As such, he had decided to give up on them.

    "Now, we just need to wait for them to end everything."

    They waited silently.

    Far away, the grand army was still as terrifying as ever. Their powerful senses swept around, evidently searching for all abnormal life-forms. Chen Feng and Qin Hai both concealed themselves and watched on coldly, watching on as the Dream Recall Bell¡¯s confidence swelled and waiting for the moment of its death.

    Qin Hai counted the time. "Soon..." Based on his guess, those people should be almost there...

    Shua!

    Light swirled around before them. A familiar figure appeared beside them.

    "Hey, long time no see," Xu Fei said with a big smile.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Qin Hai: "..."

    Was this their reinforcements?

    Hold on...

    Just like that, this fellow had entered the Primordial Era?

    Qin Hai was dumbstruck. "Why have you arrived here?"

    Xu Feiughed heartily. "Hahaha. Let me tell you, I departed immediately after receiving the signal. Just as I reached the town, I saw a little bell flickering without stop. At that time, I nned to first destroy the bell. However, since I couldn¡¯t see you two, I searched around cautiously first. However, I still failed to find you two. Next, I had an idea and activated the turtle shell to reach this ce directly. Hahaha."

    "Seeing you two, I know that my guess was correct. That damnable bell was definitely a trap. If I destroyed it, you two would probably have died. Tsk tsk, how lucky it is that I¡¯m this smart."

    Xu Fei was immensely proud of himself.

    "???"

    Qin Hai opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he did not know what to say. What in the world? This unreliable bastard! He had originally thought that the reinforcements would be able to solve their predicament. Unexpectedly, the reinforcements were so unreliable during the crucial moment!

    Chen Feng sighed. "Don¡¯t you normally not use your brain at all?"

    "Yes." Xu Fei scratched his head. "But then, didn¡¯t you tell me previously to use my brain more? That is why I decided to use my brain this time."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He had indeed sinned.

    Qin Hai¡¯s head ached. "The bell can only be destroyed in the present world. Now that you are in here as well, you have sessfully thrown yourself into the trap and are nowpletely useless. This is the Primordial Era, an era where awakened ones are everywhere."

    "What?" Xu Fei was dumbstruck. With a wronged expression, he said, "That old man Du merely told me toe help when I sensed the vibration of the shell."

    "Don¡¯t worry, we still have another helper." Qin Hai took in a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "Based on what Master said, this time, he found two helpers, and both are simrly powerful. There is still hope for us. I believe that the other person will most definitely..."

    Shua!

    Before Qin Hai could even finish, light swirled before him and an even more familiar figure appeared before them.

    "You are all indeed here," Kong Bai said with a gratified expression.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Qin Hai: "..."

    Xu Fei: "..."

    We are indeed destined to meet everywhere we go, Qin Hai despaired. How had a fine n progressed in such a direction?

    Kong Bai started speaking. "By the way, the moment Iid my eyes on the bell in the town, I knew there was some problem with it. I could even feel a charming power from that bell. As such, I made the smart decision and activated the turtle shell before that power reached me."

    Chen Feng gave him a thumbs-up. "How smart."

    What in the world? At most, the bell could only charm Kong Bai into the Primordial Era. Moreover, the physical bell in the present had been greatly weakened. Its charm power was possibly greatly weakened as well. How nice it had been for this Kong Bai to immediately follow Qin Hai¡¯s path and activate the turtle shell the moment he reached the town.

    Kong Bai rubbed his fist, eager for a fight. "Well then... what should we do next?"

    "Await death," sounded Qin Hai¡¯s grudge-filled voice.

    Kong Bai nked. "What?" When Xu Fei exined everything to him, he had a "what the f*ck" expression on his face. The four exchanged nces, thoroughly dumbfounded.

 Chapter 671: Why Are You Mute in This Crucial Moment?

    Chapter 671: Why Are You Mute in This Crucial Moment?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Howl!"

    "Howl!

    The Dream Recall Army was as impressive as ever. Even those far away could still feel the earth trembling. They were all certain that the moment the races those primordial fragments belonged to were conquered would also be the moment they all vanished from history. The Primordial Era would be united under a single ruler, and they would disappear from history along with the Gic Era. Qin Hai gazed into the distance. From those resisting races, powerful auras could be felt.

    "The amount of rebelling races is higher than we expected," Chen Feng said.

    Qin Hai shook his head. "They should be the races of the fragments that were not stored in Mysterious Town." Although the Research Agency and Gic Union had been working hard to gather primordial fragments, they had still missed some. Despite this, their resistance still seemed pointless. The amount of these undiscovered fragments was too little, unable to make much difference. The Dream Recall Bell was too terrifyingly powerful. Its unique energy allowed it to be undefeated during this unique Gic Era.

    Kong Bai sighed endlessly. "It won¡¯t be long before history is totally changed."

    "True." Xu Fei gazed into the distance. The two had only arrived here and couldn¡¯t even experience what the Primordial Era was like. They could only wait for their deaths.

    Shua! Shua!

    They could feel the auras of two resisting races vanish. Evidently, they had just been conquered by the bell.

    "It won¡¯t be long," Qin Hai muttered.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "Yeah." Suddenly, he thought of something. In the Gic Era, apart from Duma, was he the only awakened one? The answer was both yes and no. Yes because it was impossible for a gic warrior to break through that bottleneck, thus Chen Feng being the only awakened one.

    No because when Chen Feng had controlled that pen earlier, he had clearly sensed other awakened auras. Even though those had seemed like mere white noise, he was certain. This proved that there were still a lot of experts in the world. Why were they not fighting back? Perhaps... they couldn¡¯t fight? Or perhaps... they werepletely clueless as to what was happening?

    Chen Feng¡¯s thoughts moved rapidly. Evidently, if those people were powerful enough, they would most certainly resist this. No, to be precise, they would most certainly appear in the Gic Era. Yet none of them had appeared. Everyone was keeping silent.

    What did this signify? They could note out. Perhaps that barrier was the reason. The more Chen Feng thought about it, the clearer his thoughts became. Perhaps...

    "This point in time..." Kong Baimented.

    He was an experienced transmigrator. As such, he was quite knowledgeable about this. The point in time selected by the Dream Recall Bell was incredibly exquisite. Was the bell truly powerful? Yes. However, was it truly so powerful that it was undefeatable in the Primordial Era? Obviously, no. But now...

    Since it was in fact located in the Gic Era, that unique era where the sole awakened one was Chen Feng, a mere dabbler, the bell had been able to develop to such an extent. This was why the bell was so powerful, and this was also why the bell could even establish its very own dynasty.

    It had selected an exceptionally good point in time, selected an exquisite opportunity, and controlled everything in the dark to alter the future, with nobody being able to stop it.

    Bang!

    The earth trembled. Finally, the Dream Recall Army arrived. Chen Feng¡¯s group could see countless primordial beasts. Even a mere silhouette or a mere aura was sufficient to cause them to be petrified. This was the Primordial Era, an era experts were everywhere.

    "In this case... I only have one choice left." Chen Feng exhaled deeply before taking out the pen. Seemingly due to that light dot his mother had left on him when he¡¯d been a baby, this pen had been bound together with him, imprinting into the depths of his soul.

    Shua!

    He waved the pen. Some energy seemed to appear. However, perhaps due to his soul being in the Primordial Era while his real body was in the present, the power seemed to be in disharmony. That surging power seemed to be so very far away from him.

    Chen Feng contemted. "Too far away?"

    He waved it one time.

    Shua!

    He waved it two times.

    Shua!

    He waved it three times.

    Shua!

    A powerful energy seemed to be building up in the air.

    The unique energy released by Chen Feng was akin to a shockwave. With each wave, it became stronger, became increasingly terrifying. With each shake of that power, the past and present seemed to shake.

    Shua! Shua!

    Chen Feng was still waving the pen around. Right at this instant, a cold voice sounded near his ear.

    "Kekekekeke... Looks like I have discovered some interesting kids?"

    A huge ck figure appeared in the sky. Both his wings were as dark as the night itself, and his face resembled a monkey. This was a life-form that resembled both a monkey and bat. This fellow¡¯s awakened aura emanated out without stop.

    Swosh!

    He streaked forth, grabbing at Chen Feng.

    Qin Hai¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Stop him!" The present Chen Feng could not suffer any interruption.

    Xu Fei¡¯s eyes gleamed ominously. "Understood." Indeed, the experts of the Primordial Era were too scary. However, this fellow here was a mere awakened one, yet he dared to act so wantonly? Granted, they were not even awakened yet.

    Xu Fei charged forth. With his powerful physical body, he unleashed a formidable might. "Bang!"

    "Die!" the monkey-bat life-form shouted. A ripple emanated out noiselessly. The prowess of this shockwave caused even Chen Feng to feel fearful. s, when this shockwave reached Xu Fei, it did nothing, as Xu Fei seemed to be immune to it. Thinking of using an ability on Xu Fei? How naive!

    "Hehe." Xu Fei sneered and tanked the monkey-bat¡¯s attack before directly wiping the floor with the monkey-bat.

    Qin Hai helped Xu Fei in suppressing the monkey-bat as well. "Seal!"

    "Dear demonic mirror..." Kong Bai¡¯s voice sounded. Next, an intense consciousness locked on to the monkey-bat.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    "Scram!"

    The monkey-bat was shocked senseless as he struggled frantically.

    For an unknown reason, he felt an intense feeling of death from these fellows who did not seem too strong. This was a feeling he only felt before his lord.

    Pu!

    A cold ray of light shed forth. The monkey-bat widened his eyes, then his gaze became empty, dead.

    "Done?"

    Xu Fei heaved a sigh of relief. Earlier, when he had been suppressing that monkey-bat, his entire body had ached, his own bones nearly being crushed by the monkey-bat instead. An awakened one was still an awakened one, after all. It might look like they had dealt with the monkey-bat easily; however, they had in fact exhausted all their strength in that single battle.

    Kong Bai was pleased. "Heh. That fellow was actually so ugly." An attack amplified by more than ten times had easily killed that monkey-bat.

    Under his hard work, the attack power of his demonic mirror seemed to have increased as well. Heughed wildly as he spected that before long, perhaps he could even easily defeat an awakened one.

    Mhm... that was for sure.

    However, before the three could be happy for long, the sky was enveloped in darkness.

    They raised their heads and were instantly overwhelmed with shock. "What¡¯s that?"

    Xiu! Xiu!

    The dense mass of darkness in the sky was actually formed of ten monkey-bats.

    Xu Fei¡¯s eyes widened. "Holy shit!" There were so many of them?

    Qin Hai smiled bitterly. "Looks like these things are merely cannon-fodder scouts of the Primordial Era."

    Cannon fodder...

    That¡¯s right. These awakened ones that seemed so powerful to them were mere cannon fodder here. How sorrowful. The Primordial Era was actually this powerful.

    They exchanged nces helplessly. "What should we do?" If there were only one of these monkey-bats, they could still try fighting, but with so many of them together... it seemed like they could only wait for their deaths here.

    Kong Bai had no fear. "What are you guys afraid of?" He aimed directly at a monkey-bat he personally felt to be the ugliest among them and activated his demonic mirror without any hesitation. "Dear demonic mirror..."

    However, the demonic mirror ignored him.

    "Demonic mirror?" howled Kong Bai. "Why are you suddenly mute in this crucial moment? Where¡¯s the answer I asked for? Give me a reply. I demand to solo this group of ugly bastards!"

    "What answer do you want?" the demonic mirror grumbled. "I even went to the extent of pretending to be mute. Do you truly want the hear the answer, to suffer humiliation?"

    Kong Bai: "???" His eyes widened, and he stared at the enemies, unbelieving. "You are saying that those fellows are more handsome than me..."

    "Hehe." The demonic mirror merely sneered, no longer saying anything.

    Kong Bai was dumbstruck. Qin Hai and Xu Fei exchanged nces and could only smile bitterly. This fellow...

    Bang!

    The distant monkey-bats finally neared them. At this time, they were finally able to clearly see that these monkey-bats were much stronger than the one they had killed earlier.

    Xu Fei pointed behind them. "We don¡¯t even need to be bothered with thinking of a method to deal with them."

    There, the Dream Recall Army had also arrived. Now, they were no longer merely silhouettes and auras¡ªthey were physically here. Those gigantic life-forms approached them one step at a time, causing the hearts of Chen Feng¡¯s group to fluster. With a single gaze from these life-forms, one would feel like one was better off dead.

    These were the experts of the Primordial Era.

 Chapter 672: Dream Recall

    Chapter 672: Dream Recall

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    These fellows...

    Qin Hai¡¯s heart jolted furiously when he saw them. The auras of these fellows surpassed Chen Feng¡¯s and Duma¡¯s by far. Their auras also surpassed all the mutated life-forms Chen Feng¡¯s group had ever encountered. These were definitely not regr awakened ones.

    Bang! Bang!

    With two mere steps, those gigantic life-forms were already nearing them. For these fellows, distance was not a problem. If Qin Hai¡¯s guess was correct, these gigantic life-forms were not even the elites of the Primordial Era. Rather, they were merely the vanguard.

    Qin Hai smiled bitterly. "It seems like we are finished."

    "Is that so?" Kong Bai narrowed his eyes, energy swirling in his hand in preparation. Even without the demonic mirror, he still had a powerful ability. But he truly had no idea if his transmigration ability would work here or where it might bring them.

    Bang! Bang!

    Finally, those gigantic primordial life-forms reached them. However, the expected questions did note. Nor were these fellows even bothered about Chen Feng¡¯s group. They couldn¡¯t even care enough to give Chen Feng¡¯s group a look. Just like that, they stepped downzily.

    That¡¯s right. Stepped down. From their perspective, a single step was no different than stepping on some bugs. There was nothing special about this act.

    Perhaps for these primordial life-forms, Chen Feng¡¯s group was truly no different than bugs.

    Bang!

    A foot was raised. Instantly, the world around them darkened as the shadow of the foot graced them. That gigantic foot gave them a feeling of destion. This wasn¡¯t solely because of the size of the foot; the entire world around them seemed to be changing as this foot hovered above them. Was this the power of a primordial life-form? They trembled at the thought of this.

    Bang!

    Slowly, the foot pressed down. The entire world around them seemed to bepressing, everything being stepped on by that foot. A boundless pressure assaulted them, preventing them from even dodging this step. The terrifying force of the step pulverized all the space around them, rendering them incapable of even moving.

    "It¡¯s over."

    They shivered as they looked at the iing foot. All along, they had prided themselves as geniuses in the human world. Who would have thought that a day woulde when they would be squashed to death by a primordial life-form¡¯s foot like they were nothing but bugs?

    Qin Hai and the rest tried their best to block this attack, but even after exhausting all their power, the only thing they could resist was the mere force of the foot¡¯s descent, rather than the foot itself.

    "Are we merely fighting his feet odor?"ined Xu Fei. The rest merely rolled their eyes.

    Bang!

    The gigantic foot was right above their heads, almost stomping on them. The space around them started cracking due to the intensepression.

    Their hearts chilled.

    "Here ites!"

    Ka!

    Instantly, the defense they had erected with all their power crumbled. It hadn¡¯t evensted a millisecond under the foot. Behind them, Chen Feng had never stopped waving his hand.

    Shua! Shua!

    When the foot had begun descending, the speed at which Chen Feng was waving the pen had increased. Just as the foot reached their heads, Chen Feng waved his pen downward.

    Bang!

    Suddenly, a familiar aura emanated out.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. "Here ites!" This was the feeling! Previously, in the present, when he had waved the pen, it had been exactly this feeling, as if the power was at his beck and call.

    Dong!

    That loud and clear sound, like the cry of a pendulum clock, resounded throughout the world. At this instant, regardless of whether it was the Primordial Era or the Gic Era, this sound could be heard.

    "You have gone crazy!" sounded a cold and furious voice. This was the Dream Recall Bell. Instantly, Chen Feng understood. Earlier, when they had first entered the Primordial Era, the "kill" they¡¯d heard had in fact been the voice of this bell.

    Chen Feng smiled. "Indeed, I am."

    "You activating the symphony of resonance will thoroughly awaken the Primordial Era!" The Dream Recall Bell sounded urgent and furious at the same time. "You will destroy everything. The primordial aura will fully descend upon the Gic Era, and it will be irreversible."

    "So what?" Chen Feng sneered. "It is still better than my current predicament, right?"

    Chen Feng had always avoiding the descent of the primordial. But now... he did not seem to have any better options. The formidable power of this pen was seemingly capable of activating the symphony of resonance. This was proven by the reaction of the Dream Recall Bell, the fear it disyed.

    Chen Feng had been trying not to do this all this while.

    The moment the primordial descended, nobody would be able to predict what would happen next. However, if he did not do this, the entirety of the Gic Era would instead be erased from history. If the Dream Recall Bell was able to unify the world during the Primordial Era, how would theter Gic Erae into being? The entire future would change.

    As such, without the slightest hesitation, Chen Feng activated the pen.

    Dong!

    Once again, that formidable power emanated out.

    "Kill him!" resounded the sharp and urgent voice of the Dream Recall Bell.

    s... it was already toote.

    Present time, Gic Era.

    When the power of resonance appeared once again, all the big shots merely watched on coldly with no shred of emotion. Some even found this ridiculous. This jesting power had returned once again. And next, coldly, they watched as that power surged up, pierced through the barrier, and shot straight into the clouds.

    "???"

    Only at this instant did all the experts feel rmed. Even after the power had already pierced through the clouds, they were still there, staring nkly.

    The barrier... had been broken? Just like that? With no signs of it happening beforehand? Oh, right, there had been a sign. But then, they had been teased too many times before and had merely decided to ignore the sign. But this was the very first time the power had erupted fully. They raised their hands, trembling.

    Shua!

    A familiar power surged into their hands. Their strength had returned! That unique era had descended once again!

    "Hahahahahaha!"

    "My strength has returned..."

    "Hahaha, this is the power of resonance... Hahahahaha!"

    "Resonance... has finally appeared!"

    Countless people were in ecstasy. A terrifying power engulfed the entire world. Numerous formidable powers erupted, akin to numerous pirs of lights that shot straight to the clouds. These formidable powers had interrupted all the powers of the Gic Era.

    At the Land of Legacy, Duma sighed. He stretched his hand out.

    Hum¡ª

    A power much stronger than what he¡¯d had in the past appeared in his hand.

    "Resonance... has appeared."

    Duma sighed. His strength had been reinstated now. However, he did not know if he should curse outright or feel anxious, as that damnable era had still descended in the end.

    Shua!

    His figure vanished, appearing in Mysterious Town instantly. Since the power of resonance had appeared, the Dream Recall Bell no longer posed any threat.

    "Destroy!"

    He pointed midair, and his attacknded on the Dream Recall Bell.

    Bang!

    A petrifying power surged out of his fingertips. On the previously unrivaled Dream Recall Bell, cracks started appearing.

    In the Primordial Era, the entire Dream Recall Dynasty started copsing. The attack heading toward Chen Feng vanished for no apparent reason, and the foot that was about to step on them vanished midair. A weird undtion engulfed the entire world.

    "Chen Feng!!!"

    Apanied by the mournful scream of the Dream Recall Bell, this primordial world became illusory and started copsing.

    Bang! Bang!

    The sky, the earth, everything dissipated away.

    Before the past was fully changed, the present still held priority. As such, the moment changes urred in the present, all the changes the Dream Recall Bell had done to the past started vanishing as well.

    "No! My dynasty..."

    Along with the Dream Recall Bell¡¯s mournful scream, the world fully copsed.

    Bang! Bang!

    Light swirled around, returning Chen Feng¡¯s group to the present.

    Chapter 673: World in Chaos

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Mysterious Town.

    When the Dream Recall Bell¡¯s consciousness returned to the present once again, the world could no longer be manipted as it wished. Terrifying auras surged up one after another.

    "Madman! You are a madman!" the Dream Recall Bell roared furiously.

    Chen Feng merely sneered. "Hehe."

    "You will be the end of this world," Dream Recall Bell said with a sharp voice.

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. "Keh. In any case, my world was on the verge of being destroyed by you already. What difference does it make?"

    "No, you do not understand." Dream Recall Bell¡¯s voice had a trace of fear in it. "Even though I dared to alter the past, to establish my Dream Recall Dynasty, I only dared do it in thete Primordial Era, when those fellows had all been sealed. Yet you... you have awakened all of them!"

    Dream Recall Bell was filled with fear.

    Chen Feng sneered. "Hehe."

    He had awakened those logic-defying existences of the Primordial Era? It did not matter. Perhaps the likes of Dream Recall Bell would always avoid that era for fear of something unexpected happening. However, for the Gic Era, for Chen Feng, if the primordial had not been reawakened, the Gic Era would have vanished. What else could they have done? They had never had a choice. Evidently, the Dream Recall Bell was aware of this as well.

    "If I had known this, I most definitely would not have provoked you," Dream Recall Bell muttered. "Why is that damnable pen on you? This thing was supposed to be destroyed in the Primordial Era..."

    Bang!

    Terrifying auras emanated everywhere. Everywhere around the world, numerous powerful auras were rising. Duma soared up into the sky. Around his body was a powerful and dreadful force, the true power of Duma, the true power of the scarab race, which had been previously sealed.

    The Dream Recall Bell noticed Duma straight away. "Scarab race... You are the turtle that escaped back then... You have actually survived till now. The life spans of the scarab race are indeed much more terrifying than imagined. Your race is indeed the race that should have been destroyed first."

    Duma smiled calmly. "Hehe." Since his strength had returned, he no longer feared this bell.

    Shua!

    He raised his hand slightly.

    A formidable, incredibly dreadful power seemed to be at his beck and call.

    The Dream Recall Bell¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Resonance... Even you have reached this level? However, do you believe that you are the only one with the power of resonance? Hahahahaha."

    Bang!

    Suddenly, the bell started shaking, and a sharp sound spread out without stop. Next, a power that was incredibly simr to Duma¡¯s power undted out of the space.

    Resonance... This was yet another power of resonance.

    "This damnable seal didn¡¯t only seal you. I was sealed as well. Although I do not wish to use such a power, now that the primordial has descended, let us take a look at who will be the final survivor!" roared the Dream Recall Bell.

    The bell resounded.

    Dang¡ª

    Dang¡ª

    Undtions rippled out, pushing Chen Feng and the rest away as the bell¡¯s body became illusory.

    "Thinking of leaving just like this?" Duma stretched his hand out, forcefully intercepting the bell.

    The Dream Recall Bell¡¯s killing intent surged. "Are you aware of what you are doing?"

    "Of course I am aware," Duma coldly said. "For your act of tampering with history as you wish, you deserve death. Regardless of whether the primordial has descended, you should no longer be allowed to live. Furthermore, your power of resonance is the best tool to awaken that existence. As such, you must die!"

    Duma¡¯s killing intent surged.

    Bang!

    Not waiting for the Dream Recall Bell to reply, he moved.

    Duma sneered. "I know you are very powerful, but right now, the power of resonance has just been reinstated and has yet to fully recover. In your previous battle, you were already greatly injured, not even a tenth of your strength remaining. What can you rely on to fight me?"

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. Surprising everyone, the Dream Recall Bell, which had still been talking so ferociously earlier, was actually trying to flee. It was indeed not able tost any longer.

    "Stop it!" Duma said.

    "Understood."

    Chen Feng and the rest exchanged nces and blocked the Dream Recall Bell¡¯s escape route. With Duma behind him, they forced the bell to an impasse.

    "You all..."

    Dream Recall Bell¡¯s intense hatred was apanied by a trace of weakness. This unrivaled existence yesterday was presently on the verge of death.

    "I am the Dream Recall Bell. I am the greatest existence of the Primordial Era. I will most definitely die off just like this. If you guys want to kill me, you guys will have to pay a price as well. All these fellows who resisted me earlier, you all shall die together with me as well!" the Dream Recall Bell stated in a deranged manner.

    Hum¡ª

    A petrifying aura surged out.

    "Careful."

    Instantly, Duma dragged everyone back into Mysterious Town.

    Right after they left, an immense explosion bloomed. With a dazzling explosion, all of Mysterious Town vanished into nothingness.

    Bang!

    Like an atomic bomb had been set off, Mysterious Town loudly exploded. Before their eyes, the entirety of Mysterious Town was enveloped by a scorching white. A terrifying undtion swept out, and the loud boom rang by their ears for a long time as they stared nkly. Mysterious Town was gone!

    Just as they thought that this was the end, numerous swirling lights of various colors shot out of Mysterious Town before streaking away.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "That is..."

    These colors... These auras... Those primordial fragments had actually escaped!

    "The power of resonance has simrly awakened a part of their strength as well," Duma said.

    Swish! Swish!

    Countless powers erupted.

    From their point of view, it was as if a beautiful firework was being set off in Mysterious Town. However, this beauty carried a trace of fatality.

    "With the primordial fragments escaping... something will happen, right?" guessed Chen Feng. Each of these fragments was extremely powerful. Duma, the Gic Union, and the Research Agency had exhausted great efforts to gather them here. Yet now...

    "Yes." Duma gazed at the sky. "With the awakening of the primordial power, these primordial fragments will awaken their consciousnesses as well. From now on, their spirituality will awaken, and it will be the time for them to select their respective masters..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s attention was attracted by this. "Select masters?"

    Duma spoke calmly. "Yes. The primordial remnants will select their masters. Since these primordial remnants are still mere fragments, they will first select someone to be their master before getting that master to help them collect their remaining fragments so they can be whole again. Next, both the primordial remnant and the selected master will be able to enter the realm of resonance together."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes widened. "This works?"

    Duma nodded. "That¡¯s natural. After all, those are primordial remnants! Previously, they were too weak, since they had merely been fragments and hadcked spirituality. Now that the power of resonance has awakened... Mhm... They will be able to sense the location of their separated fragments. Moving on, numerous awakened ones will appear in this world. The moment a primordial fragment seeds in selecting a master, after fusion, the master will naturally be an awakened one," Duma said calmly.

    Duma recalled something. "Oh, right. Not only the primordial remnants. At present, since the seal on this world has been lifted, those beyond A sses will naturally be able to break through now. Not only the primordial remnants, even the humans and ancients that have been stuck at beyond A ss for a long time will be able to break through now."

    "!!!" Chen Feng and the rest exchanged nces, their heart trembling furiously. In short, numerous awakened ones would now appear in this world?

    They inhaled deeply.

    Hiss¡ª

    Just imagining the scene where masters of primordial fragments walked everywhere... And where recently awakened gic warriors were everywhere as well...

    Even if they did not view humans as an evil race, it there was no doubt that among these people, there would be kind and evil ones. Only a single one of them needed to be evil to plunge this world into chaos. This was proven by the fact that the Dream Recall Bell alone had caused such a huge incident. If countless awakened ones were creating disturbances... The mere thought of this caused their heads to ache. It seemed like the peaceful Gic Era would not return.

    "Why are you still so calm, then?" Qin Hai asked with a bitter smile. He could still remember how his master had also put great effort into the affairs of these primordial fragments. Now that this had happened, his master should be the one who was most angered. But it seemed like even if the entire world descended into chaos, his master would remain calm, as if all this was nothing.

    Duma spoke unhurriedly. "What¡¯s the point of being all anxious? Furthermore,pared to that, this is truly nothing."

    Everyone raised their head. "Ah?"

    "The Primordial Era... has descended." Duma sighed. "The power of resonance has been unsealed. Above awakened is resonance. But do you guys know what exactly resonance is?"

    They shook their heads. "No."

    "Resonance... is exactly what the word implies. Resonance can only arise from at least two powers. The so-called ¡¯awakened ones¡¯ refers to those who awaken the innate talent to resonate with certain existences. When these people reach the peak of the awakened realm, when they reach the realm of resonance, they will be able to sense the powers of those formidable existences and be even stronger. Sensing,prehending, and the final resonance," Duma softly said. "The moment the power of resonance is utilized, those formidable resonances will be able to sense it and will gradually wake up from the boundless darkness."

    "Those existences?"

    They all nked. This term was something that they had heard a lot of times before.

    The so-called lord...

    The so-called existences...

    It seemed like each time one referred to the Primordial Era, one would also refer to these terms as well. However, they were still unaware of what exactly these existences were.

    Duma inhaled deeply. "That¡¯s right. Those existences. They were the very sky of the Primordial Era, towering above everyone else, the origin of all formidable powers. Every single powerful primordial remnant originated from them. Every single formidable power of resonance originated from their bodies. Using the terms of the current Gic Era, they are precisely gods."

    Bang!

    Their hearts shuddered.

    Gods? They existed for real?

    Suddenly, Chen Feng recalled Dream Recall Bell¡¯s reaction earlier. "What the Dream Recall Bell was afraid of..."

    "That¡¯s right. The bell feared these existences as well." Duma shook his head. "The bell was the creation of a god, yet it tried to erase the traces of the existence that had created it. As such, it feared the gods greatly, as it was very clear on how terrifying those existences could be."

    So that¡¯s the case. Chen Feng understood now.

    Gods...

    Above awakened would be resonance. And above resonance would be godhood.

    As for gods, they were the strongest existences of the Primordial Era.

    "Since even gods exist, things won¡¯t be that bad, right?" asked.

    "..."

    Duma looked at Xu Fei like he was an absolute idiot and slowly said, "Child, you must know that even among the countless primordial fragments, there are good and evil ones... The same applies to humans as well. If so, the gods..."

    Duma shook his head.

    Xu Fei¡¯s eyes widened. Holy shit! There were evil gods as well?

    Xu Fei was speechless. "Those fellows want to conquer the entire world as well?"

    "Not only that." Duma smiled bitterly. "I have not personally experienced that era. However, from the memories in my bloodline inheritance, the descriptions for certain existences are indeed rather horrifying. For example, a certain existence is of the opinion that all living beings are disgusting and deserve to be purified."

    Kong Bai nked. "Purify?"

    Duma spoke unhurriedly. "Mhm, purified. Reconstruct the physical body, wash the very soul, and return the living beings to their origin."

    Kong Bai was thoroughly dumbstruck. "??? Isn¡¯t that the same as being dead?"

    "Yes. As such, purifying is deemed an act of cleaning the world. That lord, from the beginning of his existence, has been busy purifying the world. He even has a ground of fanatical believers." Duma smiled bitterly. "Oh, right, there¡¯s also a certain lord who believes that there is an inherent problem with this world."

    They all nked. "What?"

    There¡¯s a problem with this world?

    Duma sighed. "Yes. That lord believes that this world is too small and weak. As such, he intends tobine this world and all other worlds together, creating another big bang, creating a whole and powerful world, a wless utopia capable of containing all life-forms."

    As they heard this, they were all stupefied. Combine all worlds together?

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. "What about the present life-forms on these worlds? They should just die?"

    Duma calmly continued, "Yes. After all, for the good of the big world, the sacrifice of some insignificant life-forms is inevitable and negligible. This is this lord¡¯s belief. He has been faithful to this belief, never changing. If we have to describe him with a modern term... Mhm... Perhaps he would be quite simr to the God of Destruction in human literature."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    These gods, these so-called lords, were truly...

    "Oh, right, there are some others." Duma pondered deeply before saying, "There is a certain powerful goddess that believes that all males are filthy life-forms and should either all be purged or have their genders changed."

    Shua!

    Everyone looked at Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. "Why are you all looking at me?"

    Theyughed dryly. "Hehe." Chen Feng was way too skilled in terms of changing genders. Perhaps in the future, he would be that goddess¡¯s number one underling. Naturally, he would have to first "purify" himself for that to happen.

    "There is another lord that believes that love between two of the same gender is a sin... There¡¯s also another powerful existence that believes that love between two of different genders is filthy. These two lords have been waging war against each other since time immemorial, never stopping."

    Everyone: "..."

    Were these fellows truly gods?

    "These gods are all extremely powerful. They possess the most original of powers. All the powers, the abilities we use, originated from these origin powers." Duma sighed. "As for resonance... it is an act of sensing the origin powers of these existences to improve oneself."

    Qin Hai was doubtful. "I have a question. Since they are so powerful, why did they disappear in the first ce?"

    In the long river of history, after the Primordial Era, all the gods had cleanly vanished. That was also why the gods had started to be nothing but legends.

    Respect surfaced in Duma¡¯s eyes. "They were all sealed. Just as I said earlier, there were also good and evil ones among the gods. The good and evil here is by our definition. Since there are gods that want to destroy all life-forms, there are also gods that want to protect all life-forms. It seems like there will always be an opposing god for each god of a certain belief. As such... the War of Primordial Gods erupted.

    "Toward the end of that war, all the gods were weary and exhausted. As such, the countless gods on the side of life and goodness joined hands to seal all forces, including themselves. The sealed gods did not die. However, due to the loss of their powers, they slowly grew old. Ultimately, they dissipated amid heaven and earth. This has remained throughout the ages. And now... as the seal on resonance has been lifted, the power of resonance will start being used, and the consciousnesses that have dissipated amid heaven and earth will converge slowly and once againe into being." Duma finished his exnation slowly, his tone respectful: "With that, the Primordial Era will descendpletely. Those gods will once again return."

    Although the stories of these primordial gods seemed like some sort of propaganda, with these gods depicted in an overly kind manner, it was precisely these gods that had ensured the continuation of life. These gods that had fought for their continuation were deserving of respect.

    So that¡¯s the case.

    Everyone fully understood now. So this was why they had been avoiding resonance? Resonance would actually awaken the gods? Everyone was shocked. While everyone was in the midst of shock, Chen Feng quietly pulled out the pen.

    Holy shit, this pen is so amazing?

    Just like that, he had pierced through the seal that had been created jointly by so many gods with this pen? He gazed at this pen, feeling like this pen was indeed incredibly amazing.

    Chapter 675: Godly Portable Charger Pen

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Duma gazed at the pen Chen Feng was holding and shook his head. "You think too much. Even if you hadn¡¯t lifted the seal, it still wouldn¡¯t be that far in the future before the seal would have eventually been lifted. The Primordial Era is too old, so old that all life-forms have forgotten about the existence of gods. Naturally, it is also so old that the seal from back then was on the verge of disappearing... You are merely the person that was coincidentally at the right ce and the right time and who did the right thing," Duma exined calmly. "That¡¯s all."

    Chen Feng heaved a sigh of relief. So that¡¯s the case. Although possessing a pen so awesome that it was capable of solving everything with a single poke would be nice, Chen Feng had no intention of being the culprit for the iing chaos. This responsibility was too heavy for him to bear.

    "As for this pen..." Duma nced at the pen. "I don¡¯t quite know it. I have a vague impression of all the primordial remnants in existence, and this pen is definitely not one of them. Perhaps this pen was merely a container used to store power back then."

    Chen Feng nodded his head. "That is possible." He still remembered how, earlier, when he¡¯d waved the pen, power had gushed into him.

    Mhm...

    If this pen was a mere portable charger, it would be understandable. Perhaps this portable charger of a divine pen had stored some primordial power back then. Now that he had unleashed the stored power, the seal had been lifted. Mhm, this was an eptable exnation.

    "Can it still release any power now?" Duma asked.

    "Let me give it a try."

    Chen Feng waved the pen around, yet there was no reaction.

    "Looks like the power has been exhausted." Duma was regretful, as he had been thinking of casting his senses about the stored power to gain more understanding on it. "Just keep it around. After all, it is still a good item. Perhaps, in the future, you can use it to store power."

    Chen Feng nodded. "Mhm." This was quite wondrous. Perhaps this pen had some sort of karmic entanglement with him.

    Bang! Bang!

    Distantly, the booming sounded without stop. Without a doubt, with the escape of these primordial remnants from Mysterious Town, the entire world would fall into chaos. Going forward, Duma and them would probably be extremely busy dealing with everything.

    ...

    Gic Union.

    The president, who was in seclusion, was pleasantly surprised when he suddenly felt his tightly stuck bottleneck loosening. After a long time, an astonishing aura erupted in the Gic Union.

    President, broken through! Formally entering the awakened realm!

    At the same time, the gic warriors that had been stuck at beyond A ss for a long time started breaking through one after another. Numerous powerful auras soared up into the sky, piercing straight into the clouds. The aura of the awakened engulfed the entire world.

    ...

    "Quick! Send the coordinates over to the Gic Union."

    "Understood."

    "Regardless of whether anyone is dispatched over, each aura must be recorded. An era of chaos ising. We must perform our tasks well and not be a burden."

    "Yes."

    The detectors of the Research Agency remained as calm as ever as they continued transmitting all recorded coordinates over to the Gic Union.

    The deputy president sighed deeply. "Looks like we will be quite busy." Duma had merely given a simple description to exin what had happened. That was already sufficient for the Gic Union to figure out how heavy the burden on them was now. The awakened ones were way too powerful, so powerful that they could not afford to allow any of the awakened ones to be outside their supervision.

    "The gods will not appear yet for now. Presently, our biggest issue is these newly awakened ones. Nobody knows if any of them will overstep their bounds. Therefore, we must establish contact with them as soon as possible. Our first option is to recruit them, to try and make them one of us as fast as possible. Any treatment we can afford them, we shall. The second option is to cooperate with them. If we can¡¯t make them one of us, we can propose a cooperation to first stabilize the counterparty. All is fine so long as they don¡¯t mess around." Without hesitation, the deputy president decided, "If even that doesn¡¯t work, and we can¡¯t initiate any propermunication with them... kill!"

    Although there were a lot of new awakened ones, arge majority of them were still rather clueless, and it was rather impossible for them to have anywork with other awakened ones this early. As such, now would be the perfect time to deal with them.

    After all, the Gic Union was the organization with way too many gic warriors that had been stuck at beyond A ss. As such, even in this new age, the Gic Union still remained the organization with the highest number of awakened ones. This, coupled with the help of the ancient race, meant the Gic Union would be able to control the general situation.

    "Some of them are newly awakened ones, whereas some are those who have fused with a primordial fragment and are much stronger than the average awakened one. As such, we will be operating in teams of two. Everyone else shall temporarily act as support staff for the awakened ones, helping in teleportation, energy recovery, and so on. We must ensure that our awakened ones can always maintain their peak form."

    All the orders issued by the deputy president were implemented in an orderly fashion.

    "At present, anyone can fall into confusion except us, the Gic Union. Do you all understand me?"

    "Yes!"

    The Gic Union started operating at their maximum capacity. s, the deputy president was also aware that this was the mere beginning of everything.

    At the same time, in numerous locations around the world, numerous phenomena appeared. Numerous multicolored streaks of light shot out of Mysterious Town before entering the bodies of different people and fusing with them, bing a powerful yet mysterious force.

    A youth who had just been rejected by his bride...

    A young master that had just been crippled...

    A student who had just been dumped by his girlfriend...

    ...

    At this moment, everyone awakened.

    The primordial fragments seemed to be intentionally locating these peoples that had suffered setbacks yet possessed a strong will, selecting these hot-blooded peoples as their host, regardless of gender and age!

    Di¡ª

    Di¡ª

    Di¡ª

    The Research Agency¡¯s rm rang without stop. The equipment that had been used to detect primordial auras was presently flickering nonstop, generating coordinate after coordinate. Several thousands of locations had already been detected to have had primordial aura appearances.

    ...

    In a certain forest, by a certainke, a ck leopard was lying downzily. Suddenly, the fur on its entire body stood on end. Its narrowed eyes gleamed with a sharp ray of light as it gazed at theke surface. There, where only a crater remained of what used to be ake, suddenly,ke water started gushing out.

    Whoosh!

    The entire crater was filled with theke water. Once again, a mysterious yellow stone radiated on top of it.

    Hum¡ª

    A terrifying power pierced into the clouds. Starting at the middle of theke, a terrifying undtion swept out, engulfing the entire forest. At this moment, all life-forms there could feel the emergence of a formidable and mysterious power.

    Within theke, all life-forms mutated instantly.

    Those life-forms that had previously only been beyond A sses, A sses, or even B sses all mutated. Some of them even entered the awakened realm instantly.

    Bang!

    The entireke started bubbling, and a dreadful aura emanated out, seemingly engulfing the entire world. As for that ck leopard, thanks to its role as the guardian of this stone all this while, it was bestowed with a huge amount of power. Its strength increased without stop, instantly entering the apex of the awakened.

    Howl!

    It let loose a howl, an incredibly majestic howl.

    Boundless Sea.

    This sea that had remained still for countless years started raging. This domain that had remained unexplored by humans all this while was at this moment emanating an astonishing power.

    Bang! Bang!

    Numerous terrifying gigantic creatures appeared. These were gigantic creatures that were truly from the depths of the Boundless Sea. Compared to those mutated life-forms of the ind seas, these creatures were much more powerful. With their appearance, the entire sea trembled. In a certain fishing vige by the sea, a white-haired old man was gazing at the sea as he let out a long sigh.

    "Even these fellows have awakened. Looks like fishing will no longer be possible in the future."

 Chapter 676: Awakened System

    Chapter 676: Awakened System

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the Research Agency, all the researchers were crazily working overtime. In theboratory, more than a hundred people surrounded several awakened ones and were studying them without stop. Each of the researches had a fanatical look in their eyes as they nearly yed these awakened ones just for research purposes.

    "Erm..." One of the awakened one felt a chill and said, "We are only here to help with your research after receiving an assignment from the Gic Union. Don¡¯t go overboard."

    A fatty research director squeezed out a smile from his fat-filled face. "No, we won¡¯t."

    "!!!"

    This smile did not reassure the awakened ones. Rather, it frightened them further. Fortunately, this did notst long. After merely two hours, the researchers came out with theirtest research result.

    "Rough analysis of the awakened power system isplete."

    "How about the levels of strength?"

    "We are done creating a numerical evaluation method for it. As for the name... since Chen Feng, as the first awakened, called this realm ¡¯awakened,¡¯ we shall continue using this term."

    "How about ourmunications with the Stormtech Company?"

    "Don¡¯t worry. Senior Luo Yuan has given us the highest level of assistance. Our database has already been submitted. They will update their servers to generate the newest power ssification. So long as the update ispleted, anyone with amunicator will be able to use thistest added function on it."

    "That¡¯s good. Get the people of theirpany to prepare properly for this."

    "Understood."

    Soon, the people of the Research Agency were done with their preparations.

    With the arrival of the primordial, what did the people fear most? The unknown. As for these researchers, their job involved removing the unknown, making it known. Studying several dozen awakened ones, they tried their best to research an awakened of each ability system to create a betterprehensiveption of the awakened system. And now, they hadpleted their research.

    They were able to figure out the strength levels of awakened ones. To make it easier to understand, they had ssified the awakened realm into ten levels. First-level awakened were those who had just entered the realm. At present, most of those who had broken through from beyond A ss were in this level. This was also the level Chen Feng had been at when he had just broken through a while back. This was the realm of a newly awakened, a realm where one hadpleted their body reconstruction. That was all.

    As for the second-level awakened, this was those that had grasped the usage method of basic awakened energies or powers.

    Afterpleting the body reconstruction, one was finally able to use the true power of an awakened one. They were capable of delivering ordinary gic warriors a crushing defeat. This was the characteristic of one at the second level. This was also the level where one was finally considered a true expert.

    Next, levels three to ten corresponded with one¡¯s improvement in the usage of awakened powers. Through nonstopprehension, one would slowly increase in strength. As for resonance, it was rumored to be a realm capable of utilizing the power of gods.

    "Let us stop here for now."

    "Mhm... We have yet topletely research the resonance system. As such, it is still not suitable to include it in themunicator update. We can onlyplete the research after obtaining more data regarding resonance."

    "That is natural."

    Thus, the Research Agency submitted the results of their research.

    At the same time, the Stormtech Company updated their servers and database. With this, everyone using amunicator would receive a prompt to update theirmunicator.

    ----

    Patch notes: Enabled the scanning and analysis of the strength of awakened ones. After this update, one will be able to analyze the true strength of an awakened one by scanning the person with themunicator.

    ----

    Everyone eximed in astonishment.

    "So fast!"

    "The Stormtech Company is indeed amazing."

    "I reckon this is the work of the Research Agency."

    None of them had expected that it would only be a single day from the descent of the primordial before they were already so clear on everything about the awakened realm.

    "Ten levels of awakened..."

    "Awakened ones are actually this powerful?"

    "I wonder if nuclear weapons orser weapons can destroy these people?"

    "That¡¯s something of a stretch, right? In any case, the costs involved in manufacturing such weapons are extremely high as well. I reckon the weapon manufacturers are probably not willing to even do this in the first ce. So long as the Gic Union has everything under control, they will most certainly not do anything. Unless, of course, they themselves are the target of an attack. That would be a different story."

    "Sigh, that¡¯s true. After all, not allpanies are like Stormtech. By the way, wouldn¡¯t it be good if Stormtech produced weapons as well?"

    "You are being too wishful... Even back then, when he founded thepany, Senior Luo Yuan stated that he would not allow anyone from hispany to manufacture anything rted to weapons. All this while, all their projects have centered around providing services rted to themunicator. As such, they will not overstep their bounds and manufacture something else."

    "Senior Luo is still the smart one. Just you wait and see¡ªwhen the world regains peace, these weapon manufacturers will definitely suffer, as the Gic Union will most likely not let them off."

    "I thought these weapon manufacturers had long gone extinct?"

    "How is that possible? So long as disputes exist, weapons will exist. This fact applies to the cold weapons of the past, the subsequent era of gunpowder weapons, and the energy weapons of the present."

    "That¡¯s quite true. However, they seemed to havee out with a new product today?"

    "Yeah, I heard that as well. Seems like a lot of people have purchased those weapons, something said to be able to counter awakened ones."

    "Is that for real?"

    A lot of people were discussing discreetly. Everyone was clear on the future awaiting these weapon manufacturers. In any case, the weapon manufacturers were even clearer than others. As such, their intention was to reap a huge amount of profit while they still could.

    Previously, it had been the war between the humans, ancients, and devils. Although at that time the world had seemed peaceful, a lot of people had still felt threatened. As such, they had all tried increasing their strength. This was especially true for those remote cities.

    How should they best increase their strength, then? Recruitment? Gene reagents? Nope. Energy weapons were the answer. Only with powerful energy weapons could they feel safe. However, after humans and ancients made peace, weapon manufacturers started to suffer. They were almost cleaned out of existence. Fortunately for them, now the so-called awakened ones had suddenly appeared. Humanity seemed to once again be in imminent danger.

    As such, weapons capable of countering awakened ones became the most popr weapons, even if the weapons could only resist a single attack from an awakened one, even if these weapons were extremelyrge and cumbersome.

    Countless people were purchasing these weapons, to the point that the supply could not meet the demand. Facing crisis, the wealthy were extremely generous with their money. Naturally, due to this, yet another batch of wealthy decided to leave the this time. With their families and all their resources, they took off in a battleship.

    Whoosh!

    Battleships soared. Toward this, the people were already numb.

    Although they had yet to discover a capable of supporting human life, with the present level of humanity¡¯s technologybined with gic abilities, it wasn¡¯t hard to create a simplified ecosystem within a battleship. s, when the numerous battleships reached outer space, they started feeling like something did not seem right, as this ce seemed way too silent.

    "Huh? Where are the battleships that left earlier?"

    "No idea."

    "Before leaving, I clearly checked and confirmed that they are all staying here."

    "Have they gone invisible?"

    "That¡¯s not possible. There were several thousand such battleships here..."

    They were all horrified. Previously, numerous wealthy people had arrived here. How was it possible for all of them to have disappeared like this? Even if there had been an ident, the wreckages of their battleships should be somewhere here as well, right? Yet at present, this ce waspletely empty. They could vaguely feel that something was wrong here.

    "Retreat! Return into the atmosphere immediately!"

    "Roger!"

    They prepared to retreat immediately.

    s, right at this instant, a resplendent blue radiance bloomed before their eyes.

    Bang!

    A noiseless undtion emanated out.

    All everyone could hear was a seemingly endless booming by their ears. With their eyes opened wide, they stared ahead with disbelieving expressions as the blue swept past them, engulfing and destroying everything. Instantly, outer space regained its previous tranquility. Noiseless, formless, as if nothing had ever happened here.

 Chapter 677: The Only Hope

    Chapter 677: The Only Hope

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Gic Union.

    Chen Feng returned. He had initially believed that he would be requested to ept some missions involving subduing newly awakened ones or something simr, but unexpectedly, the deputy president had instead insisted that he return to the union.

    The deputy president smiled. "Subduing awakened ones is a task for ordinary people like us. You have an even more important task."

    Chen Feng¡¯s curiosity was piqued. "Oh?" In this chaotic era, what could be more important than subduing awakened ones?

    The deputy president gave Chen Feng a set of information. "This."

    Chen Feng gave it a nce, and his heart chilled.

    Shit, it¡¯s actually this...

    What the deputy president wanted was quite simple: at present, apart from stabilizing the general direction of the Gic Union, they had also created a department that was focused on helping the masses increase their strength as soon as possible.

    From gic warrior to a beyond gic warrior and, finally, to awakened.

    To be precise, from A ss to beyond A ss to awakened.

    The beyond gene reagent Chen Feng had produced previously had enabled everyone to reach beyond A ss at a speed much shorter than before. It was a godly gene reagent. With the cooperation and supply of the Research Agency and Gic Union, at present, this was a gene reagent everyone could use. It had caused the overall strength of the masses to increase rapidly.

    However... this method would only help them reach beyond A ss.

    From beyond A ss to awakened was quite a distance, and for this distance, there were no gene reagents capable of providing any sort of assistance.

    "Now that the seal has been lifted, it is natural that one can be an awakened through regr improvement. However... it¡¯s too slow! Throughout the world, awakened ones are appearing. Moreover, there are also the masters of the primordial fragments, as well as those hidden primordial experts that are recovering their strength. The time left for humans is way too short. If we wait until the experts that have attained resonance appear, or until the gods have all reappeared, it will be toote. Hence... we need to break through as fast as possible. We also need more awakened ones!" The deputy president earnestly requested Chen Feng¡¯s help: "Only by having more awakened ones will the Gic Union be able to stabilize the situation. As such, your gene production skills are required here."

    Chen Feng¡¯s status and strength were both too terrifying, resulting in no human being capable of ordering him around. As such, the deputy president could only request his help, that he use his production skills to once again upgrade all of humanity.

    Chen Feng: "..." He rubbed his aching head. "Gene production?"

    The deputy president cautiously said, "All the master producers are extremely willing to assist you in this undertaking."

    Chen Feng sighed. "I know. But this realm is one nobody has entered previously. Entering this realm, even with the seal lifted, is still extremely hard. I can¡¯t guarantee sess."

    "I understand," the deputy president agreed. "However, there is still such a hope, right? Even if the probability is only one out of ten thousand, this will still be able to save more people!"

    With each awakened one that the Gic Union obtained, the odds would tilt further in their favor. The snowball effect from obtaining an awakened one was extremely terrifying. Moreover, with the high poption of humans, so long as something like this was created, there would be hope for humans, even if the probability of sess was extremely low.

    "I beseech you to ept this task," the deputy president said.

    "I will try my best." Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "However, I can¡¯t guarantee sess."

    The deputy president was overjoyed. "Understood. I will make the arrangements for you immediately."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    What could he say?

    "Truly..."

    He smiled bitterly. This time, it would truly be quite hard. Although gene production had been his career all along...

    He looked at his inactive Luck Aura and his heart chilled. This thing had seeminglypletely stopped working.

    Chen Feng sighed deeply. "Spirit. Will you even be able to finish this upgrade?"

    "..." Spirit felt wronged. "I don¡¯t know either."

    She was a mere consciousness that hade into being during an upgrade of the Fate Stone, not something that was capable of controlling the stone.

    Chen Feng¡¯s head ached. "This will be quite troublesome, then." He knew from experience how hard researching a gene reagent could be. Moreover, this time, the gene reagent they were trying to produce was something of an extremely high level, something no one had seen before, something capable of helping humanity enter the awakened realm.

    This would be the strongest gene reagent Chen Feng had ever researched in this entire life.

    Naturally... this could also be his single biggest failure. Although countless masters of the Gene Production Association were ready to provide assistance to him, Chen Feng was still not confident in this. He personally believed that with his present production skills, even without Luck Aura, he would still beparable to a master. However, so what? There were a whole bunch of masters in the Gene Production Association. This time, their target was the awakened realm!

    To create such a gene reagent, what they required was not only capability, effort, or perseverance. They also needed luck!

    Yet now... what hecked most was luck.

    "Are there any ways I can trigger Luck Aura?" Chen Feng pondered.

    "Wu." Spirit pondered shortly and said, "Mhm, if we can find some Spirit Sea wood, it will be possible."

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "Spirit Sea wood..." Now that he did not have his Luck Aura assisting him, how was he supposed to locate Spirit Sea wood?

    Hold on...

    Suddenly, he thought of something. Miss Xiao Yue seemed to possess an inconceivable ability. She was capable of drawing a scene that would happen for real.

    The moment this thought crossed his mind, he acted on it. "I will go look for her now." Shortly after, he reached Miss Xiao Yue¡¯s home.

    "I will give it a try."

    Xiao Yue was obviously rather distressed as well. The way in which she tried drawing the location of Spirit Sea wood was quite simr to how Chen Feng had done it previously. By specting and guessing, she tried drawing a map that indicated the location of Spirit Sea wood. Surprisingly, shepleted the drawing smoothly with no interference whatsoever.

    She shook her head, somewhat sad. "Looks like there is no longer any Spirit Sea wood in existence."

    That¡¯s right. There being zero interference in her drawing process signified that all the ces she had drawn had no Spirit Sea wood. Spirit Sea wood seemed to havepletely disappeared from this world.

    "Many thanks."

    Chen Feng left after thanking her. The disappearance of Spirit Sea wood surprised him. It seemed that what he had used at the Mysterious Organization back then was all that had been left.

    "Why not try researching the gene reagent with your own ability, without relying on Luck Aura?" proposed Spirit. "After all, you are also a master producer nowadays, right?"

    Chen Feng sighed. "So what if I am a master producer? A long time ago, when I first entered the awakened realm, the masters of the Gene Production Association tried researching a gene reagent capable of achieving this feat. However, even after a long time, there was no progress. Earlier, I checked with them. Even their research in the lifting of the awakened seal was stuck." Chen Feng exined, "My production level is more or less the same as theirs. Even if I go over, I will be doing nothing but wasting my time."

    Spirit sunk into silence.

    Chen Feng frowned. "Therefore, the only hope is Luck Aura. We must think of a way to trigger it. Even if it is for only a single moment, it will be sufficient." He had a feeling that something seemed odd with this upgrade of his Luck Aura, since it had remained inactive for way too long. It had been behaving too oddly, especially when he had been at Mysterious Town previously. When he had returned to the Primordial Era, Luck Aura had recovered for no apparent reason. If it was truly upgrading, how could it suddenly recover?

    There had to be a problem somewhere. Chen Feng contemted deeply. However, as he thought of this, he nked. True, when he had returned to the Primordial Era, Luck Aura seemed to return to its optimal state. What if he returned to the Primordial Era once again? Chen Feng was extremely tempted to try this. Suddenly, this seemingly hopeless undertaking of creating an awakened gene reagent had a sliver of hope.

    "Kong Bai, pleasee over."

    Chapter 678: Transmigrating Furiously

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Kong Bai sighed deeply. "Must you do this?"

    Chen Feng didn¡¯t hesitate. "Yes, I must."

    Kong Bai still couldn¡¯t understand the reason Chen Feng was doing this. "Right now, the world still seems quite peaceful. The Gic Union should be able to get this under control, right?"

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Only for now... Presently, a lot of people have only just obtained strength. This is a period where everyone is still somewhat lost. There are also a bunch of people who are still focusing on training and fusing with their newfound strength. Those we have gotten under our control are merely those that are easier to find, those that do not know to conceal themselves. Those awakened ones that have hidden themselves are the actual terrifying ones.

    "The moment they are done fusing with their new strength, the world will truly descend into chaos. Do not look down on awakened ones. Mysterious Town is not the only ce with primordial fragments. There are also those experts in the resonance realm...

    "This world isden with danger. The Gic Union? They are incapable of putting everything under their control. Therefore, before these fellows start creating trouble, we must increase the number of experts in the Gic Union and allow them to enter the awakened realm, to suppress those fellows by attacking first, ending any potential trouble in its infancy. Otherwise, if we truly wait until the world is plunged into chaos before acting, everything will already be toote."

    Chen Feng was clear on what was toe. As part of the management for both the Gic Union and the Gene Production Association, he possessed aplete intelligence report, helping him better deduce what was toe. That was also why he had toplete the production of this new gene reagent, even if the process would beden with danger.

    Kong Bai sighed. "We might not be able to even return."

    The idea Chen Feng had proposed to him was an extremely unreliable one: transmigration.

    That¡¯s right, transmigration. By transmigrating into the past, he would reactivate his Luck Aura. If this was the previous Chen Feng, they would have been able to transmigrate easily with the assistance of his Luck Aura. However, presently, Chen Feng¡¯s Luck Aura was not working at all. As such, they had no way of knowing where their transmigration might take them.

    The biggest w in Kong Bai¡¯s ability was the fact that he couldn¡¯t control the destination of his transmigration. Who could know where they would arrive by transmigrating randomly this way? Back then, he had drifted about numerous worlds for numerous years before he had finally been able to return. His heart ached at the mere thought of that experience. And now... Chen Feng intended to have him do that again.

    Kong Bai noticed the dilemma they seemed to be in. "If you have had Luck Aura, we could transmigrate easily, but you do not. We can¡¯t control the transmigration. Yet this time, the very reason we even want to transmigrate is to recover your Luck Aura..."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Nevertheless, we still have to give it a try, right?"

    Kong Bai smiled bitterly. "Fine." Now that the world was in danger, they had to do something. Wasn¡¯t it just transmigration?

    Kong Bai gnashed his teeth. "Let¡¯s do it, then!"

    "I will take a trip to the Gene Production Association first."

    Chen Feng returned to the association immediately and gathered all the problems the masters there had encountered when researching the awakened gene reagent. These masters were truly extremely skilled, much more than Chen Feng was without his Luck Aura.

    Presently, after a period of bitter research, they were all stuck on some energy-rted problems for the awakened gene reagent. They also required data from experiments that would require several hundred thousand attempts. If they continued researching normally, more than a hundred years would be required toplete this undertaking. Unfortunately, humanity could not afford to wait that long.

    After obtaining the data, Chen Feng and Kong Bai returned to the Gic Union and selected several training rooms with the highest energy intensity to be used as the venue for their transmigration.

    Hum¡ª

    Kong Bai¡¯s blue ball appeared and hovered there, replenishing their energy without stop.

    "Let¡¯s begin."

    "All right."

    Kong Bai inhaled deeply. He felt like this was the craziest thing he had ever done in his entire life. One ought to know that in the past, each time he had transmigrated, he had been near death, he¡¯d had no other choices. But now, it seemed like he was taking the initiative to court death.

    Kong Bai sighed. "What a crazy life."

    Light swirled around, and instantly, they vanished.

    Shua!

    ...

    Bang!

    At a certain unknown space, Chen Feng and Kong Bai appeared noiselessly. They didn¡¯t have a chance to get a clear look at this mystical alien world before they felt an intense killing intent engulf them from the darkness. This killing intent... contained a power far surpassing even an awakened one.

    "Go!" Kong Bai howled in grief.

    Transmigrate!

    Shua!

    The two vanished once again.

    "What was that?" Chen Feng asked in astonishment by way of transmitting his thoughts directly to Kong Bai.

    Kong Bai felt helpless. "How am I supposed to know?"

    Based on his past experience when transmigrating, the first thing he had to do upon encountering such a powerful existence was immediately escape. Otherwise, if they dyed, they wouldn¡¯t be able to escape at all.

    "Transmigrating is truly so scary?" Chen Feng found this agreeable. He was certain that the aura they had felt earlier was far more powerful than that of an awakened one. Perhaps that was a realm above even the resonance realm, something that existed only in legends.

    Kong Bai shook his head. "That¡¯s not the case all the time. Transmigrating to alien worlds will often lead to the appearance of numerous bizarre urrences. Since each world has its ownws, at times, we will be the ones that are weakened instead. For example, in some worlds, your strength will be lowered ten thousand times. With that, the enemy only needs to be a B ss to easily kill us both," Kong Bai exined helplessly.

    So that¡¯s the case.

    Chen Feng finally understood. There were indeed a lot of things to learn regarding transmigration.

    Kong Bai smiled bitterly. "In short, transmigration is a unique experience. It is much more bizarre than everything you have experienced... Therefore, the moment your Luck Aura recovers, you must immediately inform me. We will use Luck Aura to select a proper transmigration destination."

    Chen Feng nodded. "Understood." In the first ce, this was their goal: to transmigrate without stop until they reached somewhere that Luck Aura was reactivated.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around as they transmigrated once again. This time, they felt their bodies reduce in size. Around them were numerous booming sounds and some oppressive sounding shouts, causing anyone listening on to feel repressed. Fortunately, they did not feel any sense of danger this time.

    When Chen Feng saw the familiar environment, he was shocked. "Have we transmigrated into the belly of some animal again?"

    "I doubt it." Kong Bai shook his head, yet he felt somewhat doubtful as well. He had only transmigrated several times with Chen Feng in the past and had never entered the belly of an animal. Why had Chen Feng used the word "again," then? Was there someone else capable of transmigrating? Just as Kong Bai wanted to voice his question, he felt an intense oppression rushing at him. When he looked around, he was instantly horrified.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes widened. "Holy shit. This is..." They had obviously transmigrated into a certain organ of a certain female life form, transmigrating into a certain embryo, with the female life-form coincidentally giving birth at the same time as well.

    "Leave, quickly!"

    Kong Bai activated his transmigration ability without hesitation.

    Shua!

    They vanished instantly.

    The same instant they left, the meatball-looking things around them gushed out along a certain tunnel before the howl finally settled down.

    ...

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. Chen Feng and Kong Bai were in the midst of transmigration, still shaken from their earlier experience.

    "Has your Luck Aura activated yet?"

    "Nope."

    "Why do I feel like without Luck Aura, you are totally a bringer of bad luck?"

    "..."

    Kong Bai smiled bitterly. "Hopefully, our next destination will not be dangerous."

    Right at this instant, white light appeared before them. Once again, they arrived on a new world. However, surprising them, the instant theypleted the transmigration...

    Shua!

    Both Chen Feng and Kong Bai felt the world before them tightening. Their bodies and strength were still there, yet their physique became extremely weird, like they had both been ttened perfectly.

    This feeling was especially vivid for Kong Bai. His ttened face looked like the poster of some horror movie.

    Chen Feng nked. "Have we transmigrated into some cartoon world?" He had never seen such an astonishing world. Could this truly be a cartoon world?

    Kong Bai shook his head. "How is that possible?"

    Cartoons were something created, not something that existed in real life. He had transmigrated countless times in the past and had never seen something like this. But then, the world before them indeed looked rather bizarre...

    He tried looking up but couldn¡¯t see anything. He tried looking down, yet he couldn¡¯t see anything there either. No, he couldn¡¯t even raise or lower his head. No matter how he tried, he could only see his front, back, left, and right. The two exchanged nces before looking around. Suddenly, a terrifying thought surfaced. This ce... was a two-dimensional world!

    At this time, on a certain world, Chen Feng and Kong Bai were both dumbstruck as they regarded this wondrous world, feeling like they had both transformed into a certain dot that was moving on a piece of paper. Up and down? This was a world without such a concept.

    "How mystical," Kong Bai eximed in admiration. He had never seen such a mystical world before. Curiously, although the height of the topography around him wasn¡¯t the same, no constructions could be seen here.

    Chen Feng cast his senses around. "Some weak energy can be felt here."

    Kong Bai was overjoyed. "Yeah, it¡¯s just nice. I can recover some of my energy." The continuous transmigrations had rapidly drained his energy. If possible, it would be better to recover his used energy as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he was out of energy when they encountered danger, they would be in deep trouble.

    "Mhm."

    The two prepared to take a short break on this special world. Right at this instant, a certain strip rushed at them at high speed. This was literally a long folded strip with some trestle-looking things supporting it. It stopped somewhere before flipping open horizontally. Next, several ck dots gushed out of it, standing by its right side. Next, a hole appeared on the ground before a group of people rushed up the strip. Those that had arrived on the strip entered the hole after.

    Hu¡ª

    When all was done, the strip continued forth.

    Kong Bai was somewhat dumbstruck. "What is that?"

    On the other hand, Chen Feng gained some understanding.

    "In short, if this a ce where gravity exists, all the buildings of this world are constructed underground. That is the only way that the buildings will not block the sole path one can pass."

    Kong Bai nked. "What?"

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. "If this is truly a two-dimensional world, this world will resemble the 2D games you have yed before. Imagine this: if a building appears suddenly in front of your character, how are you supposed to pass? If everyone constructed their buildings above ground, how are others supposed to live here? What if this world wererger, resulting in vehicles being necessary? Things would be even more troublesome. They can¡¯t smash through any building in their way, right?"

    "..." Kong Bai thought about it, and his eyes widened. "In short, earlier, they were getting on and off a car?"

    "Mhm." Chen Feng said, "From the looks of it, all their buildings are underground, and above ground is the perfect transportation system, creating their own unique world."

    "How magical," Kong Bai eximed in admiration. The cars here moved at an extremely high speed. Since this was a two-dimensional world, nobody was staying above ground.

    However, when that strip-looking car reached them, they encountered an extremely profound problem: they could not avoid it!

    "Looks like..."

    "You are right."

    Chen Feng did not know whether tough or cry. "This car moves in a straight line, and this world is shaped like a straight line. Therefore, if we don¡¯t avoid it, we will be hit by the car."

    "No matter what, you are still an awakened one, right?" Kong Bai grumbled.

    Chen Feng sneered. "Hehe." Here in this world, he was but a dot.

    Hua¡ª

    The strip charged at them at a high speed.

    Shua!

    Seeing the iing strip, Kong Bai had no choice but to transmigrate away.

    Shua¡ª

    The world before their eyes changed rapidly.

    "My energy is going to be exhausted soon," Kong Bai said gloomily. "Even if we can¡¯t recover your Luck Aura, I should be allowed to recover my energy, right? Otherwise, we will die from energy exhaustion."

    The burden of transmigrating the both of them was much higher than he had imagined. If this continued, they would not be able to keep transmigrating much longer.

    "Hopefully... the next destination."

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. The instant they appeared, they could feel a surging energy.

    Bang!

    The energy was like a raging tide, instantly submerging the both of them. This was an incredibly dense energy, so dense that merely inhaling it could seemingly bring in countless energy.

    "How powerful," Kong Bai eximed in admiration.

    Chen Feng checked instinctively and was instantly overjoyed. "Luck Aura has recovered." His Luck Aura, which had been silent for so long, was once again active.

    Kong Bai was overjoyed. "Great!"

    In that case, their mission could be consideredplete. This was quite a wondrous world. It contained surging energy and boundless luck.

    Kong Bai became excited. The density of the energy here was too scary. "Perhaps I can even break through into the awakened realm here as well." They had only been here for a short two seconds, yet they could already feel an obvious improvement in their strength. If they could cultivate here...

    For one day...

    No, even for one hour, they would be able to advance a big step forward. This was a speed one could describe with the word scary.

    Kong Bai¡¯s eyes widened. "What ce is this, exactly?" There was actually such a wondrous ce for real?

    Chen Feng shook his head. "No idea."

    They looked around and found that they were seemingly within a certain cave.

    "Let us first confirm that there are no dangers here before beginning our research and cultivation," Chen Feng said.

    Kong Bai nodded. "All right."

    Carefully, the two walked to the entrance of the cave, and they were instantly dumbfounded. This cave was actually on a steep cliff. When they looked down, Chen Feng felt like something wasn¡¯t right. This ce...

    Hu¡ª

    Suddenly, the interior of the cave started trembling.

    Kong Bai¡¯s expression changed greatly. "Not good. This is actually a moving cave."

    Shua!

    The caved wiggled and an intense killing intent wrapped around them. Even with Kong Bai¡¯s strength, he felt an intense sense of crisis from this. If they stayed, they would most certainly die! What was this cave, exactly?

    "Leave quickly!"

    Chen Feng had a rough guess and immediately dragged Kong Bai and leaped out of the cave.

    "You have gone crazy..."

    Kong Bai¡¯s instinctive reaction was to transmigrate. Based on his past experience, a lot of their gic abilities were unusable in many worlds. In the majority of alien worlds, they were only slightly stronger thanmoners. If theynded on the ground from this height, they would certainly die.

    Chen Feng stopped him. "Hold on. Trust me."

    Swish!

    The two dropped down at a high speed.

    Bang!

    Suddenly, theynded on something soft and very flexible, bouncing them back up only to fall down yet again. This continued on until the force of the fall diminished enough for them to stop bouncing.

    "Huh?" Kong Bai did not even have the chance to feel amazed at what had happened.

    Bang!

    From the direction of the cave earlier, a loud booming resounded, as if tens of thousand peals of thunder were rumbling.

    Kong Bai was shaken. "What ce is this?" A mysterious and dreadful cave, and a flexiblending ground below the cliff. This world seemed like the human world, yet at the same time, it seemed like a different world.

    Chen Feng ignored him. "Hehe."

    Chen Feng¡¯s brain operated ceaselessly while they continued escaping without stop. His Luck Aura was fully activated, looking for the coordinates of an eptable alien world. If possible, when they transmigratedter...

    Chen Feng¡¯s brain spun rapidly as he set the criteria for his Luck Aura to work on Kong Bai¡¯s transmigration. Since their next destination could very well be one where his Luck Aura was once again inactive, he had to ensure that their next destination would be a world with energy and a world where his Luck Aura would stay active. It also had to be a safe world, a world they would be given sufficient time to do what they wanted. This was what they required, regardless of whether it was in the past or the future.

    Chen Feng looked at Kong Bai as he said, "Done. Time to transmigrate."

    Kong Bai nked. "Why are you in a rush?" Earlier, when things had seemed dangerous, Chen Feng had prevented his transmigration. Now that there was no longer any danger around them, Chen Feng started worrying about transmigration.

    For Kong Bai, this world was like heaven. The energy supply was off the charts. If they could gain a clearer understanding of the behavior of that cave and settle down to cultivate here...

    Chen Feng looked at Kong Bai like he was an absolute idiot. "You do not want to return to that cave."

    "Pft. A mere cave..." Kong Bai curled his lips. He raised his head and was instantly rmed at what he saw.

    Above Kong Bai¡¯s head, the cave entrance was surprisingly less than five meters away. Even more surprisingly, there were two cave entrances instead of one.

    Kong Bai nked. "Huh?" This was a mobile cave?

    "Try looking even higher up," Chen Feng said.

    Instinctively, Kong Bai looked up. There, above the two caves, he saw a lofty mountain and a huge pair of eyes. A familiar appearance could also be seen on the cliff. This... was actually a face!

    Kong Bai¡¯s expression changed greatly. "Shit!" The so-called cave was in fact a nostril. Hold on, in that case, their present location...

    Kong Bai lowered his head, and instantly his hairs stood on end. If his guess was correct, this soft nd" they were standing on was in fact...

    "Congrattions. You have guessed correctly," Chen Feng said with a smile.

    Shua!

    Kong Bai¡¯s body chilled. Finally, he understood why Chen Feng had told him to transmigrate. Right now, they were on the body of a giant. The cave he had intended to cultivate in earlier was the giant¡¯s nose. As for this bouncy and soft ce they were standing on...

    Shua!

    A pair of gigantic cold eyes locked on to them. Right now, this female giant was rather furious. These two damnable midgets had dared wake her up from her sleep, even causing her to sneeze.

    "..."

    The female giant¡¯s killing intent surged.

    "S... sorry," Kong Bai said while trembling with fear.

    The ice-cold female voice boomed out. "Humans...why have you appeared here? Why have you appeared in my world?"

    Chen Feng was astonished. "You actually know of humans?" This giant actually had knowledge of humans? Moreover, she was also using anguage they were familiar with.

    "Naturally. After all... humans are the ones awoke us this time... After all, this is a constant fixed during the Primordial Era back then," the female giant muttered.

    "Primordial... awakened..." Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed greatly. "You are not a female giant!" He dragged Kong Bai. "Leave, quickly!"

    What?

    Kong Bai was puzzled.

    Nevertheless, he decided to trust Chen Feng without the slightest hesitation this time, as even he himself could already feel a sense of crisis. Now was the time to leave!

    "Thinking of leaving?"

    The female giant waved her hand, blockading their surroundings.

    Bang!

    A power far surpassing the realm of awakened surrounded them.

    Shua!

    Kong Bai¡¯s transmigration failed.

    "What the hell is this?"

    Kong Bai was horrified. He had transmigrated countless times before and had encountered countless dangers and enemies. However, he had never encountered something so astonishing. There was actually someone capable of stopping his transmigration?

    This time, the enemy wasn¡¯t slowing time or something like that. Rather, his entire transmigration process had been stopped altogether.

    Damn it! Chen Feng cursed inwardly.

    Chen Feng transmitted his thoughts to Kong Bai: "Continue trying and transmigrate immediately the moment you discover a chance. Let me deal with the rest."

    "All right." Kong Bai suppressed his shock and started seeking a chance to transmigrate.

    "I am more and more interested in you humans..." the female giant said, an expression of interest on her face. "Although I don¡¯t know what you two are trying to do, I can feel the flow of space and time..." Sheughed happily. "Moreover, even as part of the weak human race, you two are actually capable of appearing suddenly in my nose. How interesting."

    With this smile, Chen Feng and Kong Bai almost bounced off her body.

    Chen Feng looked straight at her. "You have to let us go."

    The female giant looked at him inquisitively. "Why is that?"

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Because I am the one who awoke resonance. If I die here, everything will disappear."

    "Oh?" The female giant smiled faintly. "Are you sure? The power of resonance is already active, and the descent of the primordial has already begun. Killing you now will change nothing."

    Chen Feng sneered. "Hehe. Did you not sense the flow of time earlier? In fact, we came from the future, changing the past, present, and future. This is how certain select existences were able to create those divine tools, resulting in the awakening of the primordial. Past, present, and future. Not a single one can go missing for this reality to be true. If we die here..." Chen Feng looked straight at her. "The past and future will most certainly change after we cease to exist. With that, the divine tools will note into being. History will most certainly change once again. Are you sure you want to take this risk?"

    The female giant was somewhat speechless. "So that¡¯s the case." She could sense the unique aura about this human. She could also urately deduce from his aura that he was indeed the one who had awakened the power of resonance.

    "What a coincidence," She muttered to herself. Despite her illustrious identity, shecked understanding of matters regarding transmigration and time travel. The female giant was curious. "Why have you decided to awaken the primordial?"

    "Since the world had sunk into a crisis, it was my only option." Chen Feng pondered and continued, "Moreover, the three methods I used to awaken the primordial also served as an insurance that you people will not be able to hurt or even trap me, else you all will descend into the long slumber once again. Due to this, in a way, I am considered unequaled, right? When all of you descend upon the world... I will no longer encounter any dangers, as you all will protect me!" Chen Feng proudly said.

    The female giant nodded. "I see." If this was his goal, this human was truly quite the schemer.

    "As such, you must let us off now," Chen Feng said calmly.

    "I can let you go. But I don¡¯t have to let him go, right?" The female giant smiled faintly. "One has to pay a price for provoking my honor. Let your friend stay here to entertain me."

    Chen Feng sighed. "Are you sure he is not one of the crucialponents ensuring the creation of those divine tools?"

    The female giant sneered. "I am sure. Do not think that I am so easy to trick. On his body, I can¡¯t feel any trace of the aura of fate. The descent of the primordial ispletely unrted to him."

    "But he is ugly," Chen Fengmented. "Look at his face. Do you really want such a face by your side?"

    At this, the female giant nced over at Kong Bai¡¯s face. Instantly, she started to hesitate.

    Kong Bai: ???

    However, soon after, the female giant reacted.

    "It doesn¡¯t matter. I can just pretend he is some livestock. In any case, he is just a toy for me to y around with when I¡¯m bored," the female giant said indifferently.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s head ached. "Indeed, theoretically, I am the sole person responsible for the descent of the primordial. However, he is the one who has mastered transmigration. I can¡¯t transmigrate by myself. If you insist on trapping him here, I will truly have no means of leaving."

    "I see." The female giant cast her senses toward Kong Bai¡¯s power before nodding in a disappointed manner. "I have been wondering why you brought such an ugly person around. So it turns out that he is useful this way."

    Chen Feng sighed. "Yeah. Otherwise, who would wish to pollute their own eyes this way?"

    Kong Bai: ???

    "Fine." The female giant stopped blockading them.

    Chen Feng gave Kong Bai a kick. "Go!"

    Shua!

    Without hesitation, Kong Bai activated his transmigration. Right at this instant, the female giant came to a sudden realization. "That¡¯s not right. To ensure the creation of the divine tools, you only need to affect the past, not the present..."

    Instinctively, she tried to lock the two down again. s, it was toote.

    Shua!

    The figures of Chen Feng and Kong Bai started fading.

    She focused her gaze on Chen Feng¡¯s fading figure. "You dared to trick me?"

    "Goodbye, o majestic..."¡ªat this, the smile on Chen Feng¡¯s face vanished¡ª"god."

    Bang!

    The two vanishedpletely.

    "Humans... interesting." The female giant regained her calm. She stood up, readjusted the position of her enormous body, and said, "We will meet again soon."

 Chapter 681: Chen Feng, Screw You!

    Chapter 681: Chen Feng, Screw You!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Amid the boundless starry sky, a huge throne could be vaguely seen. The man was still seated on it, coldly gazing at the while he silently spun the ring on his right hand.

    Shua!

    The huge throne flickered several times before vanishing. The starry sky regained its previous tranquility. After a long time, amid the starry sky, in this ce where no me should exist, a bizarre me shed past. That me burned vigorously before slowly assuming the shape of a human. She wore a set of red clothes, and her vivid and huge eyes gazed in toward where the throne had disappeared.

    "You have appeared once again. Appearing at a ce like this, with such a method, are you a god? If you are a god, why haven¡¯t you noticed my existence here? Still not fully recovered? Or perhaps..."

    Her eyes gleamed coldly before she transformed back into a fireball and slowly vanished.

    ...

    On a certain unknown world, under the full operation of Luck Aura, Chen Feng and Kong Bai transmigrated once again and reached a safe world, a world with energy and where Luck Aura worked. This was a near-perfect world for them.

    "Worthy of being Luck Aura," Kong Bai eximed in admiration. He knew that his transmigration ability was a perfect match for Luck Aura. Chen Feng merely rolled his eyes, ignoring Kong Bai, and started rearranging all the data he had gathered previously. He started his deductions, vowing to solve all the problems that had previously remained unsolved.

    Shua! Shua!

    Row upon row of data started being deduced. In his illusory world, Chen Feng¡¯s consciousness worked at full power.

    "Spirit, help me with the analysis."

    "All right."

    Luck Aura started working.

    Next, numerous riddles that would otherwise require around a hundred years or more to solve were solved one after another in a short few seconds. With both Chen Feng and Spirit working on it, the progress of the awakening-gene-reagent research advanced at an astonishing speed.

    One hour...

    Two hours...

    ...

    Finally, Chen Fengpleted the research. But then, was this truly the end? Would there truly be no problems using this gene reagent on the people of the Gic Era? Chen Feng wasn¡¯t quite certain.

    After all, his Luck Aura would be deactivated once again the moment he returned to the Gic Era. To transmigrate to such a world so he could once again use his Luck Aura would require an unknown amount of time, and that might fail as well.

    As such...

    Chen Feng frowned, hesitating. Right at this time, he suddenly saw Kong Bai, who was here doing nothing.

    Hmm...

    "Ah?"

    Kong Bai looked at Chen Feng nkly, bewildered. Chen Feng smiled. That¡¯s right. Here was a ready-made test subject for him, right?

    "Hehe... do you want to enter the awakened realm?"

    Chen Feng started leading Kong Bai on.

    Kong Bai nodded his head furiously. "Mhm."

    Chen Feng took out the recently produced gene reagent. "Swallow this, then. Breakthrough is confirmed with this gene reagent."

    "Such an amazing gene reagent?"

    Kong Bai gulped the gene reagent down with some doubt. Suddenly, the energy within his body increased sharply. His expression changed from shock before he started cultivating immediately. Chen Feng watched on silently.

    Mhm...

    This was the first stage, where the gene reagent would transform into rich energy in the user¡¯s body. Due to the intensity of this surging energy, Kong Bai¡¯s expression appeared rather twisted. It seemed like the intensity was somewhat too high, cing quite a heavy load on Kong Bai.

    "Youngsters nowadays sure are soft," Chen Fengmented.

    Mhm...

    The second stage...

    Oh, right, although the energy within this gene reagent seemed to work, the provocation it triggered was too intense. It wasn¡¯t something an ordinary person could endure. Despite the 100% sess rate, it had a high requirement on the user¡¯s willpower. As such, this was quite the dangerous gene reagent to use. Some improvement would be required.

    Chen Feng pondered and made a note of this.

    Mhm...

    Third stage...

    After swallowing this gene reagent, the user¡¯s physical body would suffer from a side effect, where the appearance of the user would be even uglier. Fortunately, his present test subject was Kong Bai, who had already been ugly in the first ce. If it was someone else, things might have be troublesome.

    This was also something he needed to improve.

    Chen Feng pondered and noted this down as well.

    Fourth stage...

    Fifth stage...

    ...

    Chen Feng watched on silently, recording down all the problems he noticed. Indeed, such "beta-version" gene reagents were rather unreliable. Despite the 100% sess rate in breaking through, there were countless problems with this gene reagent.

    Chen Feng contemted. "Looks like I have to take more things into consideration."

    After a long time, Kong Bai seeded in his breakthrough.

    Kong Bai was overjoyed. "Hahahahaha, I am also an awakened one now!"

    Despite the intense pain he was in, despite being so tired that he nearly copsed then and there, despite the sweat raining down his body, he was still filled with vigor at this moment after his breakthrough.

    Bang!

    A powerful aura surged forth, indicating his sessful breakthrough. Instantly, his entire physical body was destroyed before being reconstructed. This was the characteristic shared by all awakened ones: an energy body.

    Finally, Kong Bai was done with the hardship and could now taste the fruit of hisbor. All the pain and suffering he had endured earlier transformed intofort at this moment of his body¡¯s reconstruction, causing him to nearly moan out loud.

    It had been truly too hard for him.

    Bang!

    Energy emanated out of his hand as he sensed the strength contained in his body.

    "Let¡¯s go, Chen Feng. We can return now." The excited Kong Bai was impatient to show off his new power back home.

    Chen Feng waved his hand. "Hold on. Let me further improve this gene reagent."

    Kong Bai had an ominous feeling. "Improve?"

    "Mhm. After all, not everyone has as much willpower as you. I need to improve this gene reagent to create a basic edition that even an ordinary person can use," Chen Feng exined honestly.

    "Oh." Kong Bai nodded his head cheerfully at Chen Feng¡¯s exnation, agreeing that not everyone was as gifted as he was. However, when he pondered upon it, he felt like something was wrong. As such, he cautiously asked, "Erm... what do you mean by basic edition?"

    "Oh, well, it will reduce the pain, reduce the intensity, reduce the degree to which one¡¯s body is twisted, as well as reduce..."

    Chen Feng spurted out a huge amount of improvements he nned to make for this gene reagent. The more Kong Bai listened on, the darker his expression became. As Chen Feng noticed that, he added, "Naturally, the sess rate will also be reduced as well."

    "Oh." Only at this did Kong Bai regain his good mood. That¡¯s right. Since this basic edition would greatly reduce the amount of pain the user would suffer, it was understandable that the sess rate would also drop as a result.

    "What will the sess rate for the basic edition be like, then?" he asked.

    Chen Feng sighed. "Very low. Ten percent lower than the original sess rate."

    Kong Bai nodded. "Oh."

    A 10% drop in sess rate. That was truly quite a dramatic drop. After all, for a regr gene reagent, a sess rate of 10% was... hold on, 10%? Kong Bai recalled that earlier, Chen Feng had told him that the sess rate was 100%. In short, this so-called basic edition would have a sess rate of 90%?

    "Don¡¯t you dare tell me that the user can use this gene reagent multiple times even after failing to break through," Kong Bai said while gnashing his teeth.

    Chen Feng coughed and patted Kong Bai¡¯s shoulder. "Great tasks will always fall upon the shoulders of great people..."

    Kong Bai raged. "Great my ass!"

    Chen Feng nced at him and said, "Calm down, there are benefits to being an early adopter as well. In any case, you are an awakened one now, right? The development of the basic edition will definitely take a much longer time toplete. At that time, you might not be able to even get one."

    Kong Bai looked at Chen Feng with doubt. "Is that so?"

    Chen Feng waved his hand. "Of course. For now, go get used to the power of an awakened. I need to continue researching the basic edition. Sigh, the development of the basic edition is truly very hard. I have absolutely no confidence..."

    "Fine."

    At this, Kong Bai felt somewhatforted, since at the very least, he would not need to wait for the basic edition as he was already an awakened now. He walked away and started getting used to his new power. s, one hourter, before Kong Bai had even gained understanding of his awakened power, Chen Feng finished his research on the basic-edition awakening gene reagent.

    "Chen Feng, screw you!!!"

 Chapter 682: Of Sins and Grudges

    Chapter 682: Of Sins and Grudges

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In the Gene Production Association, the group of gene producers headed by Hu Feng were extremely anxious.

    "Is Chen Feng not back yet?"

    "No."

    "Aren¡¯t we supposed to be conducting the research together?"

    "Oh... he mentioned that he can do it alone," the assistant said in a low voice while scratching his head.

    "He is behaving too willfully!" Hu Feng was so angry that his white beard trembled. Going at the research alone? Was that even possible? Their groupprised of ten-odd master producers had researched it for so long without sess. Any problem that could be solved with the help of technology or individual skills, they had already solved. At present, the only thing theycked was enough experimentation to reach the final result.

    They would have to keep on experimenting until thetest workable version of the gene reagent was produced. They had initially hoped that Chen Feng could perhaps inject some fresh ideas into their research, somewhat elerating the process. Unexpectedly, that fellow had never intended to evene here.

    "That kid is getting more and more egotistical."

    Hu Feng was furious. He was part of the eldest generation still alive in the Gene Production Association and had always maintained a rather low profile, never involving himself in anypetitions. He had only been silently giving all he could. He was a person of astonishing skill in gene production, and the person in charge of this research. For this gene reagent, their group had worked hard for a long time.

    "Even if he is the one who created the beyond X gene reagent, there is no need for him to be so arrogant, right?"

    Hu Feng was furious. He was aware that Chen Feng had was highly skilled in gene production. However, this matter pertained to the future of humanity. Would it be that hard for him to work with others for the sake of humanity? If everyone worked together, perhaps the research could be conducted even faster.

    "..."

    Everyone else could only smile bitterly as they heard this. So what if Chen Feng was egotistical? After all, that Chen Feng was the nominal number one gene producer in the world. This coupled with his unique identity and status made him a person nobody dared offend.

    "Let me go look for him," Hu Feng said after inhaling deeply.

    Their heads ached greatly. "But he has already entered seclusion..."

    "Even if he¡¯s in seclusion, we must get him out! Even if we have to beg, we have to beg him out of the seclusion!" howled Hu Feng. "These two days, more and more awakened ones have appeared. The Gic Union will soon be unable to endure this pressure. If this drags on... something bad might truly happen. Do you all truly want to see a world where awakened ones walk everywhere,pletely out of control?"

    As they heard this, they all sank into silence. They were all too clear on how strong awakened ones were. Each of them was fatally dangerous, far surpassing nuclear weapons, possessing the strength to easily destroy an entire city if they so wished.

    If people like these were everywhere and were not subjected to any sort of control... The mere thought of this scene caused them all to be soaked with cold sweat.

    Hu Feng sighed as he said, "Chen Feng¡¯s talent is above ours. Even in terms of technical skill alone, he is able to provide ideas that we have never thought of before. That will likely be helpful for our research. "Therefore, we must find him."

    Everyone exchanged nces and nodded in agreement. Perhaps... Chen Feng could truly elerate the research. And thus, the group arrived at Chen Feng¡¯s ce of seclusion.

    Hu Feng took in a deep breath. "Let me." Forcing someone out of seclusion was considered extremely rude, especially for someone with such a terrifying status as Chen Feng. From the moment Hu Feng had decided to step out, he had been prepared to suffer the consequences of his actions.

    However, before he could even call upon the door, the door opened. Chen Feng and an ugly male walked out of the room. On the face of that astonishingly ugly person was a trace of an indescribable andplicated emotion, akin to the indignation one felt after being raped.

    ??

    They were all dumbstruck as they saw this.

    Weren¡¯t such seclusion rooms ces people normally only entered alone? After all, the act of secluding oneself was so one could focus on the task at hand and avoid the interference of others. Yet now, with this scene they were seeing...

    They all thought of one single possibility for this and inhaled deeply in shock.

    Hiss¡ª

    Could it be...

    "This..."

    The Hu Feng, who had still been so furious earlier, was dumbstruck as he saw this. He wanted to say something but decided against it, since this was, after all, too private an affair for him toment on. He was truly too embarrassed to say anything about it. This was especially true since, in recent times, the movements protecting the rights of the LGBTmunity had been gaining quite a bit of momentum. Hence, Hu Feng did not darement on this "preference" of Chen Feng¡¯s.

    Hu Feng felt somewhat awkward. "Sorry. I am not aware that you two are..."

    "What in the world are you trying to say?" Chen Feng gave them a curious nce before saying, "Forget it. It¡¯s just nice that you guys are here. This is the gene reagent I have just produced. You guys can try it out."

    ??!

    Their eyes widened.

    "Gene reagent?"

    "You are already done with the research?"

    "How is that possible?"

    They all stared at Chen Feng, disbelieving.

    Shua!

    Hu Feng grabbed the data given by Chen Feng in a rush and started looking at it. Within were a lot of problems they had encountered in their research. Chen Feng had seemingly solved all their problems.

    Bang!

    Shaken, they all surrounded the form, wishing they could test it immediately. As they checked the data, they found that everything recorded within was correct! Chen Feng had truly seeded!

    "All of it is correct!"

    "So this is how it should have been done? Hahaha."

    Hu Feng was overjoyed. After confirming that the solutions given for three particrly tricky problems were indeed the correct solutions, he knew that this data given by Chen Feng was indeed correct. This was indeed the proper form!

    An undertaking that ten-odd master producers hadn¡¯t even been able to estimate apletion time for had beenpleted just like that by Chen Feng in three mere days. Truly astonishing.

    They looked at Kong Bai. "This person..."

    "Oh, he¡¯s also an awakened one as well. He came here to assist me in the research," Chen Feng said calmly.

    Hu Feng was ashamed. "Sorry. I previously thought that..."

    He was truly ashamed. Chen Feng had been working hard for the sake of humanity, yet he was here thinking dirty thoughts about the man. This was truly an insult to Chen Feng. As such, he believed that he owed Chen Feng an apology. However, before he could even finish his apology, the others around him all blocked his mouth, stopping him from continuing on.

    "Wu..." He couldn¡¯t say anything anymore.

    Chen Feng looked at them curiously. "What are you talking about? What did you believe?"

    They answered on behalf of Hu Feng andughed awkwardly. "Hahaha, nothing much. He initially thought that you were still not done with the research." Dragging Hu Feng with them, they left. "We will go test the form first. The result will be reported to youter."

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. "Mhm. Go then."

    Kong Bai was still moody. "Chen Feng, I will not forgive you."

    Earlier, when he had used the first-edition gene reagent, he had suffered extreme pain worse than death. As one who had worked hard transmigrating here and there with Chen Feng, he should have gotten to enjoy treatment worthy of heroes, right? Who would trick the people on their side like this?

    "Well, one has to asionally make some small sacrifice for the sake of humanity, right?" Chen Fengforted him.

    Kong Bai raged. "I quit! Why don¡¯t you try it yourself?"

    "Pft, you are merely afraid of pain..." Chen Feng muttered. Noticing that Kong Bai¡¯s expression was bing even more furious, he coughed immediately and said, "I am already an awakened one, right? How am I supposed to try it? Mhm, how about I give you somepensation for your work?"

    Kong Bai sneered at that offer.

    Chen Feng raised his brow. "What if I introduce you to a girl?"

    "Not a male?"

    "No."

    "Not a member of the ancient race?"

    "No."

    Kong Bai¡¯s eyes shone. "You really have a girl to introduce me to?"

    "Of course." Chen Feng grinned and said, "Don¡¯t worry. She is amazing and extremely beautiful. Here, this is her picture. Take a look. If you find her agreeable, I can bring you to her immediately."

    "This... Wow, so pretty! Go go go!"

    Kong Bai was excited.

    Chen Feng brought him to Xiao Yue¡¯s home. Surprisingly, the door, which had always remained open, was presently locked. On the door were several words:

    ----

    How have I sinned? ¨C Xiao Yue

    ----

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Tsk. She had to have seen this scene when she had been using her drawing ability. Well then, it seemed like his n to introduce Kong Bai to Xiao Yue had utterly failed. Seeing such a reaction from Xiao Yue, Chen Feng did not feel it proper to introduce Kong Bai to Xiao Yue. But then, this Kong Bai was truly so ugly that Xiao Yue was not even willing to meet him. Oh well, she herself was probably already aware of Kong Bai¡¯s looks from her drawings.

    Sigh.

    Chen Feng was feeling mncholic.

    Kong Bai appeared at a loss. "What is the meaning of these words?"

    Chen Feng made up a story. "I reckon she must have gone into hiding from her enemies. Even you yourself are aware that there has been an increase in the number of awakened ones recently. Perhaps, as a girl living by herself, she had encountered some problems and had decided to leave. Fear not, I have another girl I can introduce to you."

    Suddenly, Kong Bai raged. "Bastard! Even if the primordial is indeed descending, these fellows should not be acting so wantonly! For them to even think of bringing harm to such an adorable girl¡ªtruly too excessive! I need to find her! Since she is in danger, I cannot watch on without helping! I believe that my appearance here at this moment is an act of fate so that I can rescue her from danger! Those damnable awakened ones... Hehe... Let me take care of them!"

    Kong Bai patted Chen Feng¡¯s shoulder and said, "Thank you! When I seed in my courtship of her, I will most definitely get you to bear witness to our marriage."

    Shua!

    Finishing his words, he left, looking for Xiao Yue.

    Chen Feng was dumbfounded. "What the hell..."

    Hum¡ª

    His wristband buzzed and a message popped up.

    ----

    What grudge do we have? ¨C Xiao Yue

    ----

    As Chen Feng saw this, he did not know whether tough or cry.

    Miss, I truly did not intend for this to happen!

 Chapter 683: Template

    Chapter 683: Temte

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The next day, the awakening gene reagent started selling. After being verified by several dozen masters of the Gene Production Association, this gene reagent had no problems. Moreover, the sess rate of a peak beyond A ss¡¯s breakthrough using this gene reagent was terrifyingly high. The awakening gene reagent started being mass produced, and once again, Chen Feng¡¯s reputation soared.

    Everyone eximed in admiration.

    "A legend is indeed a legend..."

    "True. Previously, he created the beyond X gene reagent, allowing everyone to enter beyond A ss from A ss. Now, he has created the awakening gene reagent. What kind of freakish talent is this?"

    Countless people broke through one after another, and the ancients enjoyed the benefits of integrating with humans. Countless peak beyond A ss ancients broke through into the awakened realm. With the help of the Gene Production Association, the strength of the Gic Union skyrocketed.

    So long as one had talent and a healthy mental state, the Gic Union would provide countless gene reagents, pushing that person into the awakened realm.

    On the first day, three people entered the awakened realm.

    On the second day, 10 people entered the awakened realm.

    On the third day...

    On the fourth day...

    The strength of Gic Union increased rapidly. Following this, those free awakened ones were either subdued or recruited en masse by the Gic Union, temporarily remaining under the Union¡¯s control.

    The deputy president was still anxious. "I reckon these fellows will not behave themselves. Although they have temporarily agreed to work for the Gic Union, with the existence of primordial fragments, a problem might arise at any time."

    "This is easy to solve."

    The Research Agency gave the issue some thought. Two dayster, they brought forth an extremely unique wristband.

    The deputy president was puzzled. "What is this?"

    The staffer sneered. "Hehe... This is something created by both us and the Stormtech Company. It is capable of sealing the power of primordial fragments. If they dare act wantonly... we can seal their strength at any time. Naturally, this is merely a supplementarymunicator wristband. Here, we still have some other equipment that can be used to control them. You guys can take them. There are numerous switches on it. Sealing, unsealing, punishment, and numerous other functions are avable."

    "So powerful?"

    When the deputy president received the delivered equipment, he was shocked. The Research Agency had actually developed to such a level already? Indeed, despite the progress in gic abilities, the power of technology should never be looked down on.

    "Can they take it off by themselves?" the deputy president asked.

    The staffer smiled profoundly. "Of course they can. However, the moment themunicator wristband detects arge amount of strength being used on it... boom! As such, those wearing these wristbands should know what they ought to do and what they ought not to do."

    Soon, the sealingmunicators were being used. With the full assistance of the Research Agency and the Stormtech Company, more and more awakened ones opted to enter the Gic Union, helping stabilize the general situation of this world.

    Toward these joiners, the Gic Union have them extremely generous rewards. As for the seal... so long as they did not betray humanity, the seal on themunicator would never be activated.

    All over the world, numerous new factions appeared. With the descent of primordial, numerous astonishing urrences appeared everywhere, resulting in mass chaos. However, this chaotic situation had been forcefully stabilized by the Gic Union, truly an inconceivable feat.

    "In any case, they are still all humans after all," the deputy presidentmented. That Chen Feng kid was normally one who would do anything to fight for his own benefits, yet now at a time like this, he had not requested any sort ofpensation for what he had done for humanity. Even the cheapskate Research Agency was cooperating without thinking about their own benefits.

    "Issue them a gratitude letter. The Research Agency, the Gene Production Association, Chen Feng..." the deputy president told his assistant. "Oh, right, don¡¯t forget Stormtech Company as well."

    In this chaos, the Stormtech Company¡¯s contribution could not be neglected.

    "Hopefully, everything can be stabilized as soon as possible."

    The deputy president was still deeply worried.

    For now, the problems that had cropped up from the appearance of all those awakened ones had been temporarily solved with everyone¡¯s joint effort. But how long could thisst? One ought to know that above the awakened realm was the resonance realm as well as the gods that had yet to appear.

    The deputy president stared into the distance. "How long can this peacest?"

    ...

    Gene Production Association.

    After creating the awakening gene reagent, Chen Feng had discovered a certain issue, an issue everyone in the Gene Production Association was worried about.

    For awakened ones, gene production skills werepletely ineffective.

    That¡¯s right. Gene production waspletely useless for awakened ones. This was because during awakening, everyone would reconstruct their body, forming a body of pure energy. Such a body was not something that could be changed or affected easily.

    As such... gene reagents were useless for these people. At present, the most powerful gene reagent they had was the awakening gene reagent. This seemed like the perfect ending for the gene producers in thising new era.

    "I suppose the time hase for us to be washed out of the annals of history," a certain master said suddenly.

    A different person smiled bitterly. "Is that so?" In this new era where awakened ones were everywhere, what could gene producers do? With their gene production skills, the Gic Era began. Yet it was this very Gic Era that now abandoned them, rendering them useless. This was truly quitementable. However, something like this was the natural progression of history. It was inevitable. Since genes were no longer useful for awakened ones, the path of gene production would be gradually phased out.

    In the future, awakened ones, resonance, and even more powerful existences would appear. They would bepletely helpless. This was what they worried most about.

    "Progress is inevitable. Gene production has left a deep mark in the annals of history and contributed to humanity. This is already sufficient."

    These were the words of a certain master producer. s, one couldn¡¯t help but notice the destion in his voice. Had the time arrived for gene production to slowly disappear?

    Instinctively, they all looked at Chen Feng. After all, among all of them, Chen Feng was the only one who was both an awakened and also a gene producer.

    Chen Feng noticed this problem as well. "Let me think about it."

    Gene...

    Reconstruction...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng thought of an issue. The bodies of all awakened ones had been reconstructed. Even after destruction, the body could be recovered in a short time period. Since the entirety of the body was constructed of energy, gene reagents would be ineffective.

    Of course, some of the more simplistic recovery gene reagents seemed to work fine. However, no matter what gene reagent one used, one would no longer be able to alter the essence of their awakened body. An example of such essence-altering gene reagents were gene reagents that helped in breaking through, gene reagents that helped to increase the quality of one¡¯s body, and so on.

    Since an awakened body was formed of energy, the provocation of gene reagents would be useless. Or perhaps, even if the body was indeed changed, the change would only be temporary. The moment the energy body reconstructed itself, the changes would vanish.

    With this, any sort of improvement one obtained from a gene reagent would be pointless. This was the very question they need to answer. What exactly was the foundation of the reconstruction of an awakened body? Chen Feng sank into contemtion as he pondered this.

    Since the body could be reconstructed without stop, there ought to be a temte that the body abided by. Only then would the body be able to reconstruct upon destruction. However, where was this temte stored?

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s brain spun rapidly. It was definitely impossible for the body itself to serve as the storage of the temte. If so, what about one¡¯s consciousness...

    Shua!

    Chen Feng immersed himself in his consciousness and started searching for the temte. Finally, at the depths of his sea of consciousness, he found a miniature version of himself that looked exactly the same as him. This was the very temte!

    "I see."

    Chen Feng gained understanding. So this was the essence of an awakened one? Interestingly, the sight of this reminded Chen Feng of a certain term he had once read in cultivation web novels. For these miniature persons, the term would be "nascent soul."

 Chapter 684: New Future

    Chapter 684: New Future

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng smiled self mockingly. "It is truly unexpected that even us of the Gic Era will have a day where we reach the nascent-soul realm." It seemed like a so-called awakened one was in fact the construction of such a temte within one¡¯s sea of consciousness. Perhaps this temte was the true self, the true form of a person after awakening. If so, things were much more understandable.

    Well then... if genes were produced for that miniature person instead, perhaps there would be a brand-new world? This would absolutely be a brand-new domain.

    Shall I try it out?

    Chen Feng regarded the miniature him. This miniature person was not an energy body, nor was it the body of flesh from before. Rather, this was a unique body of consciousness. Perhaps one could regard this body as something that came into existence after a person¡¯s consciousness surpassed the realm of the fleshly body. Chen Feng contemted. If things continued this way, perhaps the next realm would be godhood ascension.

    Spirit was puzzled. "What is godhood ascension?" She felt like this master of hers had way too many bizarre and unknown terms in his brain.

    "Hehe." Chen Feng did not exin. "Come, Spirit. Help me research a new gene production techniques."

    "All right." Spirit paused and asked curiously, "If we are researching something that can be used on an awakened one, it will bepletely unrted to genes, right? This should be a brand new discipline rather than gene production, right?"

    "Mhm." Chen Feng was naturally aware of that. Truthfully, this new research would be unrted to genes. However, looking at all those old and gray-haired gene producers, Chen Feng had decided to retain the word gene and called this a new gene production technique.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "We have to give them hope, right? These master producers are all extremely experienced and strong. As such, the development and meticulous study of this new discipline will still rely on them. If so, should we tell them that in fact, this new production technique is no longer rted to genes? Telling them that the gene production techniques they have spent their entire lives dedicated to are on the verge of extinction? They will not be able to face this fact, nor will they want to face this fact." Chen Feng sighed. "Therefore, calling this new discipline a new gene production technique is the best choice, for both them and me."

    Spirit nodded. "Wu."

    "Then let us begin."

    Chen Feng and Spirit started studying this miniature person.

    This was supposed to be an extremely difficult process. However, thanks to the illusory world Chen Feng already possessed because of his Luck Aura and Spirit¡¯s assistance, the research wasn¡¯t particrly hard for him.

    Mhm...

    Spirit could even touch the miniature person directly. After all, they were both simrly bodies of consciousness. As such, it wasn¡¯t a problem for Spirit.

    Chen Feng had an odd expression. "Cough, cough. Don¡¯t touch around."

    Every ce Spirit¡¯s tiny hand touched, he could feel clearly. As such, this body of consciousness was in fact another him.

    "If this is another me..."

    Chen Feng tried controlling the miniature person.

    Shua!

    His consciousness moved, and it instantly moved into the body of the miniature person. No, the word "return" would be more apt in describing this act of moving into the miniature person. At the instant he entered, he could clearly feel that this was indeed his main body. He tried moving...

    Pat!

    He fell down, and his nose hit the ground.

    Spirit: "..."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Wobbling, he crawled up and smiled bitterly before leaving the miniature person. After losing Chen Feng¡¯s consciousness, the miniature person slowly hovered and assumed its previous position once again.

    "This fellow seems to be somewhat uncontroble."

    Chen Feng sank into contemtion. It seemed like he would only be able to gradually gain control over this miniature person after he had be even stronger. Fortunately, he was not currently in a rush to control the miniature person. All he needed to find out were ways to either stimte or improve this miniature person.

    Since this was a body of consciousness, if gene reagents in the form of consciousness were to be produced...

    Chen Feng immediately acted upon his thoughts. He gathered a bunch of gene reagents capable of stabilizing one¡¯s consciousness from the warehouse of the Gene Production Association and started his production.

    Shortly after, his production wasplete. He gulped it down.

    Next...

    Nothing.

    "The traditional method is indeed unusable," Chen Feng muttered to himself. What if he tried exerting control over them with his consciousness?

    He pondered.

    Hum¡ª

    Suddenly, some of the materials before him started floating. The consciousness of an awakened one was already powerful in the first ce. As such, moving these materials with his consciousness was quite an easy feat. He crushed these materials with his consciousness. Next, the crushed materials transformed into countless light particles that drifted toward the miniature person. The miniature person proceeded to absorb those particles. At this instant, Chen Feng could feel the miniature person stabilizing.

    Chen Feng was astonished. "It can actually absorb the materials directly..."

    "That¡¯s right." Spirit¡¯s eyes were wide open as well. She had seen clearly earlier. "The strength of an awakened¡¯s consciousness seems capable of transforming all materials into energy form."

    "All?"

    Chen Feng started his attempts.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    After crushing numerous materials, Chen Feng discovered some trends. For pure individual materials, some were able to transform into energy form while others could not. The same applied to mixed materials. However, materials that were mixed correctly were obviously much better than individual materials, especially when the mixing ratio was correct.

    Chen Feng gained understanding. "In short... by selecting different materials and allocating a proper ratio to them before refining them with the consciousness of an awakened, a reagent that can be used by awakened ones will be produced."

    This was a brand-new discipline. As such, Chen Feng did not even require luck value to help him. By randomly mixing materials together, he was already able toe out with some forms, since there were no other such forms in existence. Some of these forms were rather weak, though. Even so, this was already sufficient.

    For example, this particr awakening stabilizer reagent he had juste up with.

    It could be produced by simply mixing three materials capable of stimting one¡¯s consciousness. After refining it with the consciousness of awakened, it would turn into a clump of energy, an energy with an effect much more concentrated than their previous physical form.

    Naturally, even if it was much more concentrated, it would only have a feeble effect on an awakened one.

    However, for aspiring producers, this would be a good beginner reagent for them to learn.

    Shua!

    Once again, Chen Feng produced a clump of energy before forcing the clump into a reagent bottle.

    Hum¡ª

    The bottle started shining with a blue light.

    Chen Feng contemted. "Seems like the reagent bottles can store energies as well."

    Everyone was bewildered as they saw this. "What is this?"

    They had watched on as Chen Feng had fallen into deep contemtion before busying himself without stop. They were aware that he had gained some understanding and had not dared disturb his line of thought. As such, they had merely waited on him until, finally, this thing was created: a bottle containing some light in it.

    Chen Feng passed it to a random master producer. "Get an awakened one to try this out."

    Soon, an awakened one that was stationed here was called over. After consuming the reagent, his eyes widened and he said, "I feel like there has been a slight increase in my strength."

    Bang!

    All the producers were startled.

    Increase!

    This...

    They looked at Chen Feng joyfully, feeling anxious at the same time. "You discovered something?"

    "Of course," Chen Feng said with a smile. "I have named this thing ¡¯awakening stabilizer reagent,¡¯ the most basic of gene reagents. In fact, its production is rather simple. I will pass on the form to you guyster. However, one single premise for a person to be able to engage in such research is that the person must be an awakened one. Therefore, dear master producers... I¡¯m afraid the time hase for you guys to increase your strength. Since this new discipline is somewhat different than the gene productions of the past, I am calling it ¡¯new gene production techniques¡¯."

    "The awakening stabilizer I created earlier is but a mere fragment of the possibilities this new discipline entails. For master producers like you all, you will be able to create even more gene reagents. However, I suppose you will all have to work hard to increase your strength for now."

    "That does not matter."

    All the master producers were overwhelmed by their emotions. What they feared most was the end of gene production. Now that Chen Feng had given them a beautiful future, what was there to fear? As for breaking through into the awakened realm... that was not a problem whatsoever.

    As master producers, since they were capable of helping gic warriors break through, they were naturally able to help themselves break through as well. Although gene producers normally had rather weakbat power, their actual realms were in fact never too low. As such, they were all confident that they could enter the awakened realm before long.

    Next, Chen Feng passed on what he had learned to them. Looking at all of them studying this new discipline seriously, he felt rather gratified. The amount of time and energy one had to spend when conducting research was incredibly high. As such, only these master producers here that had given their entire lives to gene producer could study this new discipline with such enthusiasm.

    Chen Feng believed that with their experience and qualifications, they would most certainly be able toe out with more and better gene reagents. As for him...

    "I suppose it¡¯s time for me to increase my strength."

    He inhaled deeply. The primordial had descended, and awakened ones were walking everywhere. The resonance would reappear soon, and the ultimate trump card Chen Feng had once relied on to stand tall above all others might no longer remain so powerful in face of all this. Therefore, he had to increase his strength as soon as possible. After all, in this era, strength was the most important thing.

    Gic Union.

    After dealing with the gene producers, Chen Feng was finally free to properly take a look at his own strength.

    Ding¡ª

    Updateplete.

    Chen Feng updated his wristbandmunicator and then scanned himself with it. With astonishment, he found that despite his several minor breakthroughs, he was still a level three awakened.

    Chen Feng frowned. "Somewhat weak." One ought to know that at present, most of the awakened ones were already level one or level two. As for the people that had been stuck at beyond A ss for countless years like their president, these inconceivably powerful gic warriors had immediately reached level three the moment they had awakened, skipping past the first two levels.

    Seniors were indeed seniors. Chen Feng could onlyfort himself this way. They had already been stuck for several decades. Now that the bottleneck had been broken through, it was natural for them to skyrocket. After thinking about it, Chen Feng found that the only way he could increase his strength rapidly was through gene production. Unfortunately, if he had to personally research the gene reagents capable of increasing the strength of awakened ones, the time taken would be way too long.

    "Wouldn¡¯t it be good if you could still be used?" Chen Feng said as he looked at his Luck Aura. He was confident that if he had his Luck Aura helping him, he would be able to create a brand-new gene reagent in a short time, a gene reagent capable of greatly increasing his strength.

    s, Luck Aura had been inactive since a while ago. He still remembered that at first, Spirit had told him that this was an upgrade. And next, after upgrading, it had deactivated, no longer working. This stupid Luck Aura was truly even more unreliable than Android. Chen Feng had long gotten used to the difort caused by theck of Luck Aura.

    Spirit pondered and said, "Don¡¯t worry. I have a premonition that soon, something will happen."

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. "I do not believe you." He recalled how, previously, Spirit had told him that Luck Aura would not take long to upgrade, yet how long had it been?

    Chen Fengughed self-mockingly. "I might as well rely on myself." In any case, the improvement of an awakened one was a lengthy process. At present, those people had only been able to advance rapidly due to their umtion during the several decades they had been stuck at beyond A ss.

    As for those that had fused with primordial fragments, these people had broken through borrowing the help of the primordial powers. As such, a number of awakened ones were starting to enter level three, with some at level four or level five already.

    As for Chen Feng, he was still stuck at level three. As time passed, the masses would slowly forget the fact that once upon a time, Chen Feng had been the number one expert in the world. When they mentioned him, they would only talk about his legendary gene productions or his kindness.

    How about Chen Feng as an expert? Huh, Chen Feng could fight as well? This was especially true since nowadays, one gene producer after another was entering the awakened realm as well. Chen Feng¡¯s unique identity as the sole awakened gene producer ceased being unique.

    Of course, these awakened gene producers were all people that relied on gene reagents to break through and thus had extremely weakbat power. However, they had never participated in any battles anyway and had only been focusing on gene productions.

    With all these developments, once again, the dividing line between gic warriors and gene producers became crystal clear, with the trend of fighting gene producers that had arisen due to Chen Feng dying out.

    Gic warriors should be responsible for fighting, whereas gene producers should be responsible for gene production. That was all.

    During this period of time, it was also rumored that numerous formidable auras could be felt without stop, yet these auras had yet to reveal themselves. The popr opinion was that these were the auras of those in the resonance realm, or perhaps even gods.

    This was something Qin Hai was extremely worried about.

    "Fear not. Although the appearance of gods is inevitable, a long time will be required for that. For now, even those in the resonance realm have yet to reappear. As such, the gods that those in the resonance realm resonated with will naturally take longer to appear."

    This was the answer given by Duma.

    After the seal on resonance was lifted, Duma had officially be the number one expert in the world. Despite that, he still avoided using the power of resonance as best he could. As for his previous task of locating primordial fragments around the world, it had been handed over to the Gic Union. His present task was searching for those in the resonance realm, the resonators.

    Although the possibility of him locating them seemed slim, he remained hopeful. If... if he could kill those resonators in their cradle, perhaps the gods would not appear at all? This was what he thought.

    s, these resonators were simr to Duma, all sly old foxes that had been alive for ages. Each of them was extremely crafty. How would they allow him to find them?

    With all this happening, time passed slowly. At present, one whole month had passed.

    Kong Bai, Xu Fei, and the rest had all entered the awakened realm as well, bing geniuses of the Gic Union. They had been epting missions without stop, subduing awakened ones worldwide Their fame had spread far and wide, making them sort of celebrity gic warriors. There were also a huge number of geniuses from the ancient race that had passed the test and been epted into the Gic Union, joining the ranks of the awakened ones.

    "Look, fast."

    "Wow, it¡¯s Kong Bai!"

    "Ah ah ah, I heard he killed an evil awakened one yesterday that had caused disaster to an entire city."

    "Mhm, I heard that too. That awakened one had seemingly fused with some disgusting primordial fragment, turning him into an absolute pervert. Luckily, he was ended by Kong Bai."

    "I have decided that Kong Bai is my idol, despite his somewhat ugly appearance."

    Several young girls chattered on and on, talking about the celebrity gic warriors.

    Distantly, our dear Kong Bai, who was walking by, feigned a calm look on his face with a trace of a proud smile as he heard them talking about him. s, this did notst long before he was utterly hurt by the final few words uttered by the girls.

    Fake fans! All of you are fake fans!

    ...

    Time passed.

    At present, the general situation had stabilized. At the very least, this was what it seemed like on the surface. While Kong Bai and the rest were gaining fame worldwide, our dear Chen Feng was already a legend who had withdrawn himself to the second line of duty, hiding himself behind the scenes.

    The masses were no longer able to see him publicly, yet his legends never stopped being talked about.

    At present, this very legend was filled with worry in a certain training room. In the illusory world within his body, twopletely identical people, one big and one small, were staring wide eyed at each other.

    "Left!"

    Chen Feng lifted his left hand. Almost instantaneously, the miniature person opposite him lifted a hand as well.

    "Right!"

    He lifted his right hand this time. The miniature person did the same.

    "Left."

    "Right."

    "Left."

    "Right."

    Chen Feng started waving his hand without stop, and the miniature person reacted ordingly without stop. Gradually, theplicity of the movement increased. From the initial waving of hands till the finalplicated set of motions, the two were able to move uniformly.

    Spirit started producing some sound effects. "Cc¡ª"

    Chen Feng frowned slightly but steadily continued with his range of motions. In the real world, there was no absolute silence. As such, to maintain the absolute affinity between him and the miniature person, he had to ensure he could maintain it despite background disturbances. This was what Chen Feng was training for.

    "Cici¡ª"

    The random noises persisted around him. Chen Feng and the miniature person were still able to maintain their affinity despite theplicated motions. Right at this time, Spirit seemed somewhat dissatisfied. Next, the random background noises changed suddenly, turning into a familiar song. The moment Chen Feng heard this, his face greened.

    "The boundless end of the world..." [1] 1

    ...

    The coordination between Chen Feng and the miniature person did notst longer than three seconds after this song.

    "Stop," Chen Feng grumbled. "Why are you messing around?"

    Spirit curled her lip. "Did you not say that disturbances are essential for your training?"

    "Yes, but you don¡¯t have to use the ultimate trump card right at the start, right?"

    Chen Feng did not know whether tough or cry.

    What in the world? If Spirit was allowed to continue ying such catchy songs, how was he supposed to control both him and the miniature person at the same time? It would already be great if he was able to stay clear headed under the effect of this song. If,ter, Spirit started ying songs like Little Apple and such, Chen Feng felt like he would no longer be able to continue this training.

    Spiritughed mischievously. "Hehe."

    "What is the degree of affinity at present?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Mhm." Spirit took a look and said, "More than 99%. Although your realm still remains at level three awakened, I am certain that not a single awakened one out there is capable of controlling their miniature person as nimbly as you. Of course, I doubt they can even discover this miniature person."

    "Wu."

    Chen Feng sank into contemtion. The only reason he had been able to discover the miniature person was due to the existence of this illusory world created in his consciousness by Luck Aura. Even with this superiority, he had only discovered this miniature person at the very depths of his consciousness even after being an awakened for so long. If he did not have this illusory world...

    Mhm...

    He would probably have taken much longer, or he might have failed to discover this miniature person altogether. The miniature person would be concealed within the depths of a person, never to appear. As such, the act of exerting any control over this miniature person was unheard of.

    "Seems like I am ahead of them all." Chen Feng smiled. "Since my affinity is nearing 100%, I can start trying other things."

    Hu¡ª

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. As everyone else was focusing on increasing their strength, Chen Feng was focusing on his affinity with the miniature person. The reason for this was a rather inconceivable guess he had. Now, it was finally time to verify his guess.

    Shua!

    He raised his hand, aiming at the testing equipment before him.

    Within him, that miniature person raised his hand as well and assumed the same posture.

    Swish!

    A ray of light shot out. The instant that ray of energy shot out, space and time seemed to transform. Chen Feng had a feeling that at this moment, he and that miniature person were increasing in affinity infinitely until ultimately, they were synchronous.

    This feeling...

    Bang!

    Instantly, the testing equipment before him was spoiled. This brand-new equipment capable of enduring the attack of a level six awakened had a hole in it as a result of this single jab from Chen Feng.

    This... is this the power of resonance?

 Chapter 686: Chen Fengâ€™s New Strength

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Didi!

    Didi!

    The testing equipment buzzed without stop, but it was ignored by Chen Feng.

    Hu¡ª

    He formed a semicircle with his hands before slowly moving his hands away as he slowly calmed his aura. In his sea of consciousness, the miniature person performed the same motions as him, slowly moving his hands away.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. So... this is resonance? He gazed at the hole that had appeared in this equipment that was supposed to be capable of enduring the attack of a level six awakened and knew that his guess was indeed correct. So it turned out that the so-called resonance was in fact the act of triggering resonance with the miniature person within oneself.

    However, as Chen Feng gave this some thought, he still felt that something wasn¡¯t right.

    Resonance... was it not the resonance of power? Shouldn¡¯t resonance be something that would only arise when a resonator¡¯s power resonated with the power of a god? What was up with that miniature person? Or perhaps... What did that miniature person represent?

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Forget it." It did not matter what the miniature person was. He needed to first see how strong this resonance was.

    Chen Feng summoned the deputy president over. "Is there any stronger testing equipment?" In fact, Chen Feng was extremely unfamiliar with the people of the Gic Union. But he had this deputy president here he could boss around, and that was sufficient as far as he was concerned.

    The deputy president shrugged. "Um, no. This is already thetest creation of the Research Agency." Creating equipment capable of enduring the attack of a level six awakened and slotting a testing chip onto the equipment had already taken all of the Research Agency¡¯s effort.

    "Huh? Why did this thing break? What scary gene reagent are you producing this time?" The deputy president did not know whether tough or cry when he saw the hole there. His head aching, he said, "I reckon I will get scolded by them for this again."

    "Calm down. I don¡¯t need the same piece of testing equipment. Just tell me, how can I find something that can endure even stronger attacks?" Chen Feng asked.

    "It¡¯s quite simple." The deputy president pointed at the testing equipment that had a hole in it and said, "Just get two of these, put them together, and they will possess a defense that is roughly the same as a level nine awakened. Unfortunately, this equipment is too valuable. As such, the Research Agency will not provide us with more no matter what."

    "Is that so?" Chen Feng said pensively.

    The deputy president shook his head. "There¡¯s nothing to be done about it. If you really need it, I can go apply for it."

    In fact, the number of people using this equipment was quite low in number. Under normal circumstances, using the tester installed on one¡¯s wristband was already sufficient. Most of the time, this equipment was only used to test the strength of one¡¯s abilities. At present, the number of awakened was still not too high, and very few awakened abilities were in cirction. As such, most of the awakened ones had no abilities that they could actually put forth to test.

    "There¡¯s no need for that," Chen Feng said after pondering the matter.

    Hu¡ª

    He inhaled deeply. The miniature person within him started synching with him.

    The awakened power started flowing within his body. Not needing any sort of abilities, Chen Feng merely waved his hand horizontally in a serene manner.

    Pu!

    A horizontal line shot out. Next, the testing equipment capable of enduring the attack of a level six awakened was instantly split in two. With this simple-looking attack from Chen Feng, it was shed apart.

    ??!

    The deputy president¡¯s eyes widened. He waspletely dumbstruck.

    -shed apart? He looked at the hole in the equipment and suddenly realized something. "This... this is not something you corroded with a gene reagent. Rather, it is a hole you left with your attack?"

    He was startled. He had initially believed that this hole had been created by Chen Feng using some gene reagent. Surprisingly, Chen Feng had actually sted this hole in the equipment with his own strength. What did this signify? One ought to know that at present, even their level-five president could not even leave a dent on this equipment. Yet this Chen Feng was capable of...

    The deputy president¡¯s mouth was stuck agape for a long time. Next, he watched on nkly as Chen Feng stacked the two pieces of shed equipment together, creating a doubleyered testing equipment that was shorter than before. Just as the deputy president had mentioned previously, being stacked like this, this equipment would possess a defense equivalent to a level-nine awakened.

    Hu¡ª

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    At present, to sync with his miniature person, he needed to first calm his mind. This time, he was able to maintain his calm, synching with the miniature person within him perfectly. Next, he fixed his gaze on the testing equipment and slowly stretched his hand out.

    ??

    What is he trying to do? Could it be...

    The eyes of the deputy president widened. At present, he waspletely at a loss. He was able to realize the meaning behind Chen Feng¡¯s series of questions soon enough. Chen Feng was trying to test his attack on the defense of a level-nine awakened.

    "It can¡¯t be, right?"

    The deputy president was filled with hope and fear at the same time. He watched on as Chen Feng calmly pointed with his finger. There was no shy-looking ability, nor were there any spectacr special effects from this attack.

    Pu!

    Just like that, the stacked equipment was instantly prated.

    Bang!

    The deputy president nked.

    Seeded! He actually seeded!

    This Chen Feng kid that had been gradually forgotten had once again created a miracle, reaching such a level of strength. After all, that was the strength of a level-nine awakened! In the levels of awakened, each subsequent level was much scarier than the previous level. The present Chen Feng was five levels higher than their president. If so, how strong was he, exactly? None of them had an answer.

    "A pity..." Chen Feng was somewhat disappointed. He had clearly sensed that this time, he had only managed to forcefully pierce through the stacked equipment with some difficulty. Moreover, the hole in the piece of equipment stacked at the back was much smaller than the hole in the front, nearly negligible. The back was also pierced, yet the hole was only as small as a needle, whereas the hole in the front equipment was as big as a finger. This signified that Chen Feng¡¯s present strength was level-nine awakened.

    "Level nine awakened..."

    Chen Feng sank into contemtion. In other words, as a level-three awakened, he could reach level-nine awakened after resonance?

    "Pity?"

    The deputy president almost banged his head on the wall to death upon hearing this. Already a level-nine awakened, yet he still felt that it was a pity?

    He was truly speechless. "Your strength..."

    Chen Feng waved his hand. "It is better for this news to not be released. Otherwise, the others will be dispirited. If there are any missions you guys can¡¯tplete, just hand them to me secretly."

    The deputy president could only force a smile at this. "All right." What Chen Feng said was right. If this news was spread, a lot of people would be dispirited indeed. The deputy president could onlyment that a legend was truly a legend, after all.

    Perhaps, from the moment Chen Feng had be a legend, he had already been an insurmountable existence. Suddenly, the deputy president thought of the previous legendary existence before Chen Feng.

    Luo Yuan!

    It was quite a pity that the guy waspletely uninterested in gene cultivation and was only focused on business. Ultimately, he had founded his Stormtech Company, his way of contributing to humanity. The deputy president gazed at the wristband on his hand. True, when he thought of how the Stormtech Company would provide assistance unconditionally whenever humanity encountered disaster, what more could he say about them? That Luo Yuan was also a legend, simr to Chen Feng. Both were contributing to this world silently.

    "Now that we have mentioned missions..." The deputy president paused and said, "There is truly something we need your help with."

    Chen Feng looked at him. "Oh?"

    "Something has happened at a certain location. There, all life-forms have gone berserk and have be stronger all of a sudden. Primordial auras can also be felt there. It¡¯s a ce even the president feels an intense sense of danger," the deputy president said with a bitter smile.

    Chen Feng became curious. "Did Duma not go there?"

    "Senior Duma left some things for us to use to judge if anything that appears has the power of resonance. If it does, we are to immediately let him know. However, we tested and noted that there is no aura of resonance there." The deputy president pondered and continued, "Therefore, we believe that the existences there are probably at the higher end of the awakened realm."

    Chen Feng nodded. "I see. Send the coordinate to me, then. Let me pay that ce a visit."

    "All right." The deputy president was happy to hear this. However, just as he was about to send the coordinates to Chen Feng, the earth trembled suddenly and a terrifying and formidable aura surged, piercing straight into the clouds.

    Bang!

    The terrifying aura spread far and wide. Nearly all the awakened ones in existence could sense the extreme threat it posed.

    The deputy president¡¯s expression changed greatly. "That ce... This is from the same ce I told you about."

    He had always been worried that something would happen there, and now, something had indeed happened there.

    Chen Feng was startled. "This..." He was rather uninterested in these erupting powers. What caused him shock was the fact that the moment he sensed that aura, his Luck Aura, which had stayed dormant for a long time, suddenly started moving again.

 Chapter 687: I Felt My Heart Beating

    Chapter 687: I Felt My Heart Beating

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In Lugang Town, a light beam soared up straight into the clouds. The terrifying radiance and boundless aura spread and were felt clearly by nearly all the awakened ones worldwide.

    "What is that?"

    "A resonator of legend?"

    "No, that doesn¡¯t seem to be the case. Even a resonator should not possess such powerful strength. From the looks of the aura, it might be a god?"

    "The aura of a god?"

    Everyone was rmed. It was impossible for this aura to be unleashed by a god for real. However, since this was indeed the aura of a god, it signified that it was quite possible that a legendary godly tool was what was unleashing this aura.

    Or perhaps...

    An inheritance left behind by a god.

    At the thought of this, everyone could no longer remain calm, including those awakened ones who were still in the midst of recovery.

    "An item left behind by a god..."

    "This aura..."

    "If I can obtain it..."

    Everyone started forming their own ns. Since chaos was about to erupt, nobody could know for sure what the future would be like. If at this time they could greatly increase their strength, perhaps they could truly build a strong foundation in thising new era.

    "I am definitely going to obtain this thing," a person said with a resolute gaze.

    "No matter what it is, I must obtain it," another person said.

    "Looks like... I can leave seclusion in advance." A resonator who had yet to recover his full strength walked out of his cave.

    At the same time, countless people headed toward Lugang Town. Everyone had the same goal: to obtain the item left behind by a god.

    At present, the Gic Union had justpleted their investigation of Lugang Town. This was an ordinary small town. Strictly speaking, the exact ce that this had happened not within the town. Rather, it had happened in a forest near the town. Within that forest was a hugeke, ake where, originally, a mysterious stone had floated andter suddenly disappeared for no apparent reason. This time, it had reappeared again, causing such a big scene.

    The deputy president spoke slowly. "Based on our investigation, that so-called leftover item of god is in fact that stone."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. So it¡¯s that stone! If it was that stone...

    He contacted Duma immediately. After contemting in silence for a while, Duma merely shook his head and said, "Something like this will only be obtained by the one fated to obtain it. Your strength will not matter."

    Chen Feng contemted as he sensed the stirring Luck Aura within him. Fate...

    He could clearly feel that the moment that stone had started erupting with this aura, Luck Aura had begun shining brightly. Perhaps, this was the opportunity for his Luck Aura to finallyplete its upgrade. The moment he obtained the stone, Luck Aura would finish upgrading!

    Chen Feng clenched his fists tightly. Next, he would be able to rise in power in theing aura of chaos with his Luck Aura. At the thought of this, Chen Feng inhaled deeply. It seemed like he would have to gopete for the stone as well!

    The deputy president transmitted some information to him. "This is the information pertaining to Lugang City. We have a branch there as well. Although that branch isn¡¯t particrly strong, they can still provide you with some assistance. At present, a lot of people have already headed there. Based on the official statistics, at least several dozen awakened ones had appeared there. It is now an extremely dangerous ce."

    Chen Feng was astonished. "Several dozen..." The Gic Union had been subduing awakened ones all this while, yet there were still so many out there?

    The deputy president shrugged. "There¡¯s no helping it. Some awakened ones are extremely intelligent and hid themselves immediately upon awakening. After all, as long as they don¡¯t act recklessly, their aura will never leak out. As such, such awakened ones are impossible for us to locate. But this incident might be a good chance for us to subdue even more awakened ones. We already have some awakened ones ready in secret. As for the thing..."

    The deputy president sank into contemtion. He had no idea what exactly the thing that was said to be left behind by a god was. However, if it was truly something important, there a huge number of experts wouldpete over it. As such, it would be pointless no matter how many people he deployed over there. With Chen Feng¡¯s present strength, they would not be able to outpete him. They might as well retain their strength.

    "I will get them to be on call at Lugang Town," the deputy president said after giving it some thought. "If you have anything you want them to do, you canmand them at any time."

    "Mhm." Chen Feng nodded and paused, then said, "It is for the best if the people of the Gic Union do not get involved in this. Resonators might appear this time."

    The deputy president¡¯s expression changed greatly. "Resonators!" Had the timee for such terrifying enemies to appear?

    Chen Feng shook his head. "There is no need to be afraid. Although they will appear there, their strength is probably greatly weakened as well. At most, they will be at around level eight or nine awakened... I will give it a try when the timees. It is better if the newbie awakened ones of the Gic Union do not go forward and throw their lives away. At that time, get them to focus only on the level-one or -two lone awakened ones. That will be sufficient."

    The deputy president nodded with a bitter smile. "Understood." Only now did he realize for real the depths of the hidden currents of this incident.

    Awakened... Resonance... Perhaps the appearance of this stone was also the start of the chaotic era? There, a huge battle would definitely erupt. At the thought of this, the deputy president deployed several dozen awakened ones. Their only mission was to maintain stability in Lugang Town, nothing else.

    Chen Feng was astonished. "They are not there yet?"

    "Mhm. Based on the news we received, that radiance is still enveloping the entire forest. Nobody is able to approach. All the awakened ones are waiting for a chance nearby," the deputy president exined.

    "Wait..."

    Chen Feng shut his eyes.

    Luck...

    He was sure that this stone was definitely rted to the Fate Stone.

    "Spirit, can you feel anything," Chen Feng asked Spirit.

    "Mhm..." Spirit had a perplexed expression. "When that thing appeared, I seemingly felt my own heartbeat. However, I am obviously a mere body of consciousness..."

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "Is that so?" Indeed, Spirit could feel it as well.

    Chen Feng smiled. If his guess was correct... "Looks like an upgrade is imminent for you."

    Soon after leaving the Gic Union, he arrived in Lugang Town. The instant he stepped into Lugang Town, the radiance enveloping the forest started trembling, instantly removing the seal around the forest.

    "It has opened!"

    "Hahaha, this is precisely what I have been waiting for."

    "Has it finally started?"

    Countless people charged in emotionally, wanting to obtain the item before others. Only Chen Feng stood outside with a smile on his face.

    Indeed... his guess was correct! At present, he could clearly feel the faint trembling of his Luck Aura.

    It still couldn¡¯t be used. However, it was reacting quite intensely to that stone. Facing a different direction, his Luck Aura would have a reaction of a different intensity. With this, his Luck Aura could be used as apass of sorts. Through its reaction, he could clearly feel the location of that mysterious stone.

    Have you been waiting for me all this while? Or perhaps... you have been waiting for Luck Aura?

    Chen Feng smiled toyingly. "Things are going to get interesting."

    Shua!

    With a leap, he entered the forest. The instant Chen Feng entered the forest, the water of theke started surging rapidly, giving rise to 100-meter waves that swept everywhere like a tsunami.

    Bang!

    The earth trembled.

 Chapter 688: Mysterious Swamp

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At this time, those awakened ones that had just entered the forest had just prepared for an all-out battle to obtain the item when the sudden appearance of the tsunami shocked them all.

    "What the hell is this?"

    "Damn it."

    "Why has the water suddenly left theke?"

    They were all startled, looking at the iing hundred-meter-tall wave that left nowhere to hide.

    "But this water... seems like regr water... right?" one person said cautiously.

    "Regr water?"

    Everyone raised their heads and looked over. Indeed, although the wave seemed rather violent, it seemed like nothing but mereke water.

    Swish!

    A person tossed a pile of stones, tree leaves, and other random stuff at the water, and all these things remained fine, not suffering any damage, merely bing soaked. At this, they all heaved a sigh of relief.

    Regr water, huh? The word "god" had rendered them scared of every random thing here.

    Shua!

    Someone tried walking through the hundred-meter-tall wave and found that after walking through, he was indeed still fine. Upon seeing this, everyone else started pushing in as well.

    Shua! Shua!

    Numerous silhouettes passed through the wave. s, after passing through the wave, they found that the entirety of this forest had seemingly changed, and the water had all vanished as well.

    "Huh?"

    "Where¡¯s theke?"

    "This..."

    They all had odd expressions on their faces. Holy shit, had all of the water in theke been in the huge tsunami earlier? At this time, within the huge forest, not a drop ofke water could be found, only leaving a huge amount of mud behind as well as numerous trees growing in the mud, giving off a rather sinister feeling.

    St.

    Someone had seemingly stepped in something while walking. When he tried walking away, he found with astonishment that an attractive force had appeared, sucking him in.

    "This..." His expression changed. "Quagmire?"

    He instinctively looked at the person beside him for help. "Save me."

    Shua!

    Everyone around him avoided him.

    What joke was this? Everyone was here to obtain the item left by a god. As such, their rtionship could be described with the word "hostile." It was already a good thing for them to not attack him, yet he expected them to save him?

    Hehe.

    Everyone studied the mud beneath their feet cautiously.

    Seeing this, that person snorted coldly. "Hmph."

    Bang!

    Instantly, he chopped his trapped feet off before exhausting a huge amount of energy to reconstruct a brand-new leg. Everyone raised a brow at this sight. So it turned out that this quagmire wasn¡¯t fatal? This ce where the aura of a god leaked seemedpletely different than what they had imagined. The moment they had arrived, a dangerous-looking tsunamiprised ofpletely ordinary water had surged at them. Next, they had encountered this nonfatal quagmire seemingly only here to jest at them.

    As a ce with a trace of a god, shouldn¡¯t it beden with danger?

    Naturally, the quagmire was indeed scary, as the moment one stepped into it, one would not be able to escape without outside help. However, for awakened ones, they could reconstruct their energy body anyway. As such, they did not fear such a quagmire.

    This ce...

    Could this be something left behind by a mere awakened one instead?

    Everyone¡¯s heart jolted. Perhaps this was a ce for nonawakened ones to obtain their inheritance prior to the Primordial Era? Although this quagmire wasn¡¯t fatal for an awakened one, it was absolutely fatal for a regr person.

    If that was truly the case...

    Suddenly, the air was filled with killing intent. Everyone looked at each other, killing intent in their eyes. At first, everyone had been of the opinion that this was a dangerous ce and so had not dared to act recklessly. Now that they had determined that this ce wasn¡¯t a threat for awakened ones, the only threat was the other people around them.

    The mood seemed to freeze. Right at this instant, someone took another step forth.

    St.

    He stepped into the quagmire as well.

    Bang!

    Without asking for help, he smashed his leg to smithereens immediately to free himself from the mud before reconstructing it. Next, he took another step forth. Yet this time, with astonishment, he noted that he had once again stepped into a quagmire.

    ??

    He was somewhat dumbstruck. Something seemed wrong with this?

    Bang!

    Once again, he smashed his own feet to smithereens.

    This time, before taking another step, he looked around carefully and confirmed that it was not possible for this entire piece ofnd to be an endless quagmire. From the density of this swamp...there was only a 20% probability of one stepping upon a sinking quagmire when walking.

    "Am I so unlucky?" he muttered.

    St.

    He took another step forth, and his face darkened. He had stepped on a sinking quagmire yet again! This time, the others, who had still beenughing at him earlier, could no longerugh. What did it mean for this person to hit the jackpot with a mere 20% probability three times in a row? Was he truly so unlucky? Moreover, the other person from earlier had also stepped into a sinking quagmire on his first step.

    At present, a total of four steps had been taken, yet all had been into a sinking spot.

    There ought to be some problem somewhere. Someone else tried taking a step forth.

    St.

    Once again, sinking quagmire. The rest tried stepping forth, and with horror, they found that with their very first step, they stepped into the sinking quagmire.

    ??

    Everyone was confused. What was going on?

    They all proceeded to destroy and reconstruct their legs. The center of this forest, where that stone was located, was extremely far from this ce. If they truly walked forth step by step in this manner, they would exhaust all their energy merely reconstructing their legs. This damnable ce!

    Someone felt doubtful. "With this density, we shouldn¡¯t be stepping into the quagmire with every step we take, right?" If the entirety of this ce was in fact a quagmire, this would be a terrifying abyss. Even the mere act of approaching this ce would cause one to be sucked into an endless abyss. Yet obviously, this ce was just a regr swamp, a swamp formed when theke tsunami had swept past. How could it...

    They tried walking forth. With horror, they found that the same thing kept happening. With every step, they would sink.

    Finally, their expressions became solemn. "Something is wrong here!"

    "..."

    Chen Feng watched on silently.

    Earlier, he had also destroyed his own leg and reconstructed it. The same solemn expression was on his face now. However, what caused his face to be solemn wasn¡¯t him stepping on the quagmire. Rather, every single step he took had been on solid ground. The only reason he had even destroyed his leg to reconstruct it was to maintain a low profile. Since the several dozen people here had suffered the same fate yet he was fine, something odd had to be happening here.

    "Is it because of you?" Chen Feng asked inwardly.

    Spirit appeared to be at a loss as well. "I don¡¯t know. Luck Aura has been trembling all along, yet it is obviously still not working."

    "Then this should be the work of that stone then." Chen Feng was somewhat agitated. Could that be yet another fate stone?

    Spirit¡¯s eyes widened. "Then we can walk over directly, right?" If this was truly the Fate Stone making it difficult for others while opening a path for Chen Feng, why were they still wasting time here? Chen Feng only needed to charge forth directly and he would definitely be able to obtain that stone. As for the others here? They would most certainly encounter various difficulties. The moment Luck Aura was done upgrading, they would no longer have any fear of the others here.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "There¡¯s no rush." Without a hundred percent certainty of sess, he would most definitely not take any risks. The enemies here were not mere awakened ones. There were also resonators here as well...

    If one dared take these people lightly, one would suffer a miserable death!

    Chen Feng continued mixing with the bunch of awakened ones, maintaining a low profile. At this time, some people who had been walking forth amid the swamp were finally getting impatient.

    "What damnable ce is this?" a rather rash awakened one said furiously as he reconstructed his leg yet again. Next, he leaped up without hesitation, thinking of passing through this swamp up in the air. The eyes of everyone else shed. Finally, someone had gathered enough courage to try this.

    Swish!

    That person soared and charged forth. However, before he was airborne for long, his body started swaying before smashing into the ground, directly into the quagmire.

    "There are indeed some problems up there as well."

    Everyone¡¯s mood became even more solemn.

 Chapter 689: I Am a Resonator!

    Chapter 689: I Am a Resonator!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    This was in fact quite simple. Since threats were everywhere at ground level, would it be defenseless up in the air? Evidently, that was not the case. As such, despite the difort, everyone had pretended to not know this. This hadsted until a certain idiot had personally tested this guess and confirmed that it was true.

    Bang!

    That person started reconstructing his body decisively. However, since this time the entirety of his body was sunk into the quagmire, the amount of energy he expended was so great that it was nearly over his limit. After he was done with the reconstruction and turned around to see how far ahead he had been able to get, his face paled. His remaining energy was insufficient for him to continue on.

    "What¡¯s up there?" someone asked.

    His face pale, he red at them and ignored the question. "Hmph." Looking at the seemingly endless quagmire and the energy left in his body, he inhaled deeply before deciding to give up on this.

    "Hehehehe... I shall let you guys have that thing. I no longer want it."

    He turned around and left. Surprisingly, when turning back, not a single stepnded in the quagmire. After several steps, he was stunned and wondered if his luck had finally turned for the better. After hesitating, he turned around and tried to once again head in the stone¡¯s direction.

    St.

    On the first step, he stepped into the quagmire.

    "What the hell."

    Without hesitation, he reconstructed his leg and immediately left. At present, those around who were watching on seemed to finally understand something. This damnable quagmire here did not seem to have any effect on those leaving. However, so long as one wanted to enter, each step ahead would be a step into a trap.

    Everyone was astonished.

    "What damnable ce is this exactly?"

    "Who the hell knows?"

    However, it was still fortunate that no fatal threats had appeared so far. Even this quagmire was something that merely required some time to be solved. It would not be fatal. After resting and regenerating their energy, they would naturally be able to proceed on.

    "At most, we will just waste some time," someone said.

    One person sneered. "My energy recovery is very fast."

    They started advancing slowly, not knowing that what they had just experienced was merely the tip of the iceberg. With great difficulty, they advanced amid the quagmire. Suddenly, the person at the front was struck by lightning, instantly granting him a spiky hairstyle.

    That person: ???

    Subsequently, numerous odd things dropped from the sky without stop.

    Meteors...

    Cell phones...

    Bones...

    ...

    Anything one could think of could descend upon them from the sky.

    From the speed and momentum of the drop, it was obvious that these things had started dropping from outside the atmosphere.

    Swish! Swish!

    Numerous things rained upon them with a dreadful speed, causing them to wonder how these things remained fine despite dropping at such high speed through the atmosphere.

    Everyone cursed in rage. "Screw this!"

    The rage intensified when a certain person¡¯s head was smashed by a chamber pot. In his fury, he remarked, "What the hell? Why would a chamber pot drop down from the sky?"

    Bang! Bang!

    With their strength, these things naturally couldn¡¯t deal harm them. However, this increased the exhaustion rate of their energy, especially so since these things seemingly possessed some homing technology, capable of dropping right on them without missing. This happened to all of them except Chen Feng.

    Speechless, Chen Feng looked on as numerous things dropped from the sky. To avoid suspicion, in a low-profile manner, he intentionally moved toward a certain item that had fallen down. He picked that item up and noted that this was a heavy namete forged with a unique metal. It had a gorgeous design, simr to those one would normally ce on office tables. These words were written on it: "System Technology"¡ªBan Zhu.

    "Huh? Isn¡¯t this the name of that chairman that also escaped to outer space?"

    Chen Feng was astonished at this realization. In short, these things had fallen from outer space? It couldn¡¯t be that the Fate Stone had destroyed a battleship just so it could create some hurdles for these people, right?

    Or perhaps...

    That battleship had long been destroyed, and this debris had been drifting about in space until this moment when it started dropping thanks to the stone?

    As for the reason these things remained intact despite the fall, Chen Feng did not contemte it at all. If luck was truly at work here, everything was possible.

    Bang! Bang!

    The rain of random things continued. None of them dared to move about recklessly, only forcefully defending against these things.

    "Leave, leave fast!" Spirit urged. For Chen Feng, this was the perfect opportunity to dump this group of people. In any case, none of the hurdles here were aimed at him. While everyone was stopped, Chen Feng could charge forth and be the first person to obtain the reward. However, Chen Feng did not seem to be in any sort of rush.

    "What are you afraid of?" Chen Feng said with a smile. "Spirit, if it is truly something rted to Luck Aura, will there be a difference if we go now orter? If it belongs to us, it will belong to us. I might as well take this chance to gain more understanding of the strength of these people. After all, there are resonators amid them as well..."

    "Resonance..." Spirit pouted as she heard this. Was Chen Feng still worried about this?

    Resonance...

    Sigh.

    Those resonators were still hiding themselves.

    "No rush." Chen Feng beamed as he looked at those people. "When the number of people decreases, they will no longer be able to keep hiding."

    Spirit nodded. "Mhm. Let¡¯s expedite the speed at which the number of people here decreases. The moment they reveal themselves, revealing their strength and abilities, we no longer need to fear them."

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "Naturally."

    Shua!

    Up in the sky, suddenly, the dropping items changed. Initially, only small and scattered items had dropped. Now, huge electronic appliances were dropping from the sky. Refrigerators, washing machines, microwaves, and even air conditioners were dropping down upon them from outer space. Could one even begin to imagine what this felt like?

    Nobody had any clue as to how these things remained intact through the fall. With raging mes wrapped around them, with terrifying might, these things aimed straight at the people there...

    "F*ck!"

    Their expressions changed greatly.

    This speed...

    They were confident that even with this speed, these things would not be able to hurt them. However, amid the quagmire, if they were hit, they would sink even deeper...

    Bang! Bang!

    Numerous burning electronic appliances dropped from the sky, instantly causing confusion among the people that had just recovered their energy. Moreover, for some unknown reason, these appliances had seemingly gone through some unknown process during their fall, causing even these awakened ones to be unable to destroy them.

    Ka! Ka!

    A lot of them had half their body sink into the quagmire.

    Shua! Shua!

    The only thing they could do was reconstruct their body with a huge amount of energy.

    Reconstructing half their body waspletely different than reconstructing a single leg. The more body parts they needed to reconstruct, the more the energy exhaustion would be multiplied. After this, a huge number of them were nearingplete energy exhaustion.

    "This damnable quagmire..."

    One person cursed in rage and could only retreat. Several others saw this and left quietly as well. There were also some who, despite wearing miserable expressions, were still persevering on. The temptation of a god¡¯s aura was sufficient to cause a huge number of people to lose their reason and be crazy.

    However, this was merely the start of what was toe. Since an unknown point in time, the empty air around them had filled with warped air and cracks. A certain awakened one was nearly sucked straight into the spatial current through these cracks.

    "What the hell is this?"

    "This is impossible!"

    Fear surfaced on his face the moment he saw what it was. "No spatial power has been detected here. If so, why has a spatial current appeared here?"

    That¡¯s right. There was no spatial power here. Otherwise, making use of the spatial power, these experts would have been able to reach their destination easily. In that case, why had spatial currents appeared here, then? Was space copsing here? This...

    Some were doubtful. "Illusion?"

    Shua!

    A dummy was tossed over, and instantly, the dummy was sucked away into the spatial current.

    ...

    Everyone¡¯s eyes widened. During that very instant, a familiar power had been felt. That was spatial power in the form of a singr-direction spatial current. This was something that hade into existence identally when others had been unleashing spatial abilities at other ces that just so happened to tunnel right to this ce, creating the spatial currents here.

    "So these are created by the spatial abilities used in other ces..."

    "A mere coincidence huh?"

    At this realization, they all heaved a sigh of relief. However, some of the more quick-witted ones among them instead had unsightly expressions on their faces. Based on the things that had happened so far...

    Shua! Shua!

    Subsequently, numerous spatial currents appeared right beside them, trying to suck them in with a terrifying pulling force.

    "What the hell is this?"

    "Damn it!"

    Their expressions changed greatly.

    Bang! Bang!

    Finally, they couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore and started attacking these spatial currents, copsing them. s, despite their sess in getting rid of these spatial currents, there was not much energy left in them.

    Soon after, another group of people quietly left. Once again, the number of people here dropped greatly. At this time, finally, someone noticed the oddity that was Chen Feng, as earlier, no spatial currents had appeared beside him at all. Granted, this could be attributed to luck. However, here at this ce, things were supposed to work differently!

    Every single person there seemed to have had a spatial current aimed at them, yet the same did not appear to be for Chen Feng.

    A person¡¯s eyes shed coldly. "I noticed you long ago. You are very fishy, moving at a rhythm that ispletely unlike the others here. None of those dropping things or spatial currents were aimed at you! Who exactly are you?"

    The rest fixed their gaze on Chen Feng as well.

    This fellow was indeed unlike the others here.

    Chen Feng sneered. "Me? Children, do not provoke a power you don¡¯t understand. The present me has yet to recover fully and does not have any intention of making a move on you juniors... Do not force my hand!"

    Intense killing intent started emanating out of him.

    The person that had asked the question was rmed. "You are a resonator!"

    Chen Feng snorted. "Hmph!"

    That person shook his head soon after. "No, that¡¯s not right. Even if you are a resonator, whose power are you resonating with? Even if you are a resonator, you still shouldn¡¯t be so weird!"

    Chen Feng looked at him. "How are you so sure?"

    "Why?" That person sneered coldly. "Because I am a resonator as well."

 Chapter 690: Say That Again If You Dare?

    Chapter 690: Say That Again If You Dare?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang!

    Everyone¡¯s heart jolted furiously.

    Resonance... there were actually so many resonators here?

    That person sneered. "Now, tell me. Which lord¡¯s strength have you resonated with? I have never seen any lord with such a weird power. Even resonance should not be able to allow you to ignore all these weird urrences."

    By the side, a person suddenly said, "I agree."

    Just like that, they all focused on Chen Feng. If Chen Feng could not clear their doubts, they would most certainly not allow Chen Feng to move together with them and might even join hands to eliminate him.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "Is that so?" From this development... it seemed like things were about to get interesting.

    "If there¡¯s no choice, we can just leave now," Spirit proposed. At this time, their best option would be to leave these people. Chen Feng was sure that if he decided to leave them now and rush straight at the fate stone, he would be able to move forward smoothly, as all these people here would be stopped by numerous hurdles. Chen Feng would most certainly be able to obtain that stone.

    However, Chen Feng was able to sense an odd trace of anxiousness here. That¡¯s right, anxiousness, and not his; rather, it was the stone that seemed to be getting rather impatient. It waspelling Chen Feng to rush over there. It was way too anxious, making Chen Feng feel like something was abnormal here.

    What¡¯s the rush?

    Furthermore, this current situation he was facing could very well be the work of that stone as well. If luck was truly trying to help him, things would not have changed so suddenly. With Chen Feng¡¯s understanding of luck, he knew that there were other methods to aplish the act of helping him forward better. But the way this stone was operating... was too impatient¡ªand childish, in a way. It was merely employing brutish methods to aplish its goals,pletely unlike the grace with which Luck Aura operated.

    Chen Feng felt doubtful. Why are you in such a rush?

    Before answering these doubts of his, he would absolutely not rush boldly toward that stone. If that was not the fate stone and was a fake stone instead, what should he do then? Was the counterparty intentionally faking a fate stone to lure him over to obtain his fate stone instead? This might be true as well. Toward anything rted to the Primordial Era, rted to gods, Chen Feng had to be extra careful.

    "What¡¯s up?" Spirit asked curiously. Her master was giving her a different feeling.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Nothing." He did not have any time to exin to her. In any case, leaving was not an option. Rather, he regarded those who were questioning him and said, "If so...who are you guys, then? Nearly all the awakened ones have been eliminated from the race. I reckon none of those remaining are simple characters. I have my own method of avoiding damage. How about you guys? Hehe... which of us that still remains here is a simple character?"

    Those people sneered. "Hehe."

    "Ah?" Some awakened ones raised their heads and looked at the people talking to Chen Feng, then at the sneering spectators. Suddenly, a terrifying realization dawned upon them.

    "All of you... are resonators..."

    Their faces greened from the fright. They had initially believed that at most, there would only be one or two resonators here and that they would still be able to make some gains amid the chaos. But from the looks of things...

    "S-sorry. I will retreat now." An awakened one left immediately.

    Another awakened one smartly decided to flee. "L-lords, goodbye."

    The rest exchanged nces and could only smile bitterly before leaving one after another. It was as Chen Feng had said. At present, awakened ones were no longer qualified to remain here. Ultimately, only five remained.

    The person that had first questioned Chen Feng asked with a cold gaze, "You have yet to answer my question. What is up with you? If you can¡¯t give me an exnation, I¡¯m afraid we will have to deal with you."

    Chen Feng smiled. "Hehe. Before asking about the power of others, should you not first introduce yourself? Perhaps you guys are merely thinking of figuring out what my power is before targeting me, getting rid of apetitor?"

    Suddenly, that person sank into silence. After a long time, he said, "I am Wu Liang, a resonator of Lord Sword God. The attribute of my power is iparable sharpness."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Sword God... what the f*ck? Such a god exists? But then, apart from those major powerful gods, there are other minor gods in existence as well. In any case, there are numerous gods in existence, each with their own believers.

    Chen Feng looked at the other three. "What about you guys? For the sake of fairness, it is better for us all to speak out."

    "I am Sakata Chuunibyou, resonator of the Dimensional Goddess. My power is unequaled passion," a resonator with a young appearance said.

    "I am Wealthy Zhao, resonator of Lord Prosperity God. My wealth is my greatest strength," a middle-aged resonator said.

    "I am Thomas, resonator of Lord War God. My power is iparable boldness," a golden-haired resonator said.

    Each of them briefly introduced the god they resonated with. However, when thest person finished his words, everyone looked at him uniformly.

    War God!

    A War God resonator was actually here as well! There had been countless gods during the Primordial Era. However, there had only been a few truly powerful ones, and War God had been one of them.

    Thomas smiled proudly. "Hehe."

    What stupid names are these?

    Chen Feng was speechless. He had originally believed that with the descent of the primordial, the Gic Era would enter a period equivalent to fantasy novels, with numerous seniors appearing, each using archaic sounding words, such as "thee," "thou," "shalt," and so on. Surprisingly, these seniors were of such a style.

    Mhm...

    Splendid.

    "It¡¯s now your turn."

    Wu Liang fixed his gaze on Chen Feng. Chen Feng¡¯s performance earlier had been way too bizarre. Even though he hadn¡¯t actually done anything, the act of not acting was the very thing that had caused him to stand out from everyone else.

    Perhaps Chen Feng could hide this from those awakened ones, but it was not possible to hide from these resonators.

    "Hehe." Chen Feng inhaled deeply. Did these four not already provide him a temte with which he could introduce himself?

    Mhm...

    He inhaled deeply before saying, "Me, Chen Feng, fortune teller."

    "???"

    Everyone was dumbstruck.

    "Oh, sorry." He coughed before continuing, "I am way too used to such a way of introducing myself. I am Chen Feng, resonator of Lord Luck. Luck is my strongest strength. Hence, here..." Chen Feng pointed at the ground below his feet. "These things are rather ineffective against me."

    Shua!

    Everyone¡¯s eyes widened.

    Luck... it was actually the power of that god!

    "Luck..."

    Instantly, all the hairs on Thomas¡¯s body shuddered. During that era, it had precisely been those damnable gods¡ªthe Luck God being one of them¡ªthat had joined hands to seal the other powerful gods, such as the War God, causing the end of the Primordial Era. From the beginning, they had already been enemies.

    Chen Feng red at him. "Bro, calm down. If we fight right at this moment, those three will be extremely pleased."

    Instantly, Thomas calmed down.

    Wu Liang was doubtful. "Since you can ignore the quagmire, why haven¡¯t you entered?"

    "I can¡¯t outrun you guys," Chen Feng said calmly. "If you guys were to instantly activate the power of resonance, you guys would definitely be able to stop me, right? I am not that stupid."

    Wu Liang¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "So you intended to conceal yourself till the very end?"

    Chen Feng sneered and said, "Don¡¯t tell me you were not thinking of the same? Anyway, in the legends, Sword God was the god with the strongestbat strength, right? You..."

    As Thomas heard this, he became furious. "Bullshit! Our Lord War God is the actual strongest god!"

    "Piss off," Wu Liang said impatiently. "Our Lord Sword God was merely disinterested inpeting for that title against your War God. Who cares about those stupid titles of you fellows of the West?"

    "Pfft. Apart from being mysterious, what kind of reputation did your Eastern gods leave behind during the Primordial Era?" Thomas rebuked. "A weakling is a weakling. Why are you being all sour about it?"

    Wu Liang was furious. "Who are you calling sour?"

    ...

    "???"

    Holy shit, it seemed like these two resonators, for the sake of their respective idols, no, their respective gods, started cursing at each other?

    So this was how the believers of the gods had behaved during that era? Chen Feng started contemting deeply.

    Mhm...

    He imagined a scene where a god was seated high upon the throne. Prostrated before the god were countless believers, cheering and yelling with glow sticks in their hands.

    "Bro War God, I choose you!"

    "Oppa War God, saranghae!"

    ...

    Cough.

    Chen Feng was truly somewhat dumbfounded at the way these resonators were behaving.

    "What the hell does your Sword God count as? Sauntering about every day in some stupid robe like some woman, hanging out with numerous goddesses every single day like a gigolo. Heh, rather than being Sword God, I think he should call himself the Slut God," Thomas said with disdain.

    Wu Liang sneered. "Hehe, what about your War God? Keeping that huge bush of a beard on his face all the time and sauntering about with a little hatchet and swinging it around blindly with those stupid-looking tattoos like some retard? And that egg-looking bold head and that fur clothing like some uncivilized savage, does he not feel embarrassed calling himself a god?"

    They started ring at each other.

    "What? Say that again if you dare?"

    "So what if I say that again?"

    Chen Feng: "???"

    Amid the quagmire, Chen Feng looked at the two resonators like he was looking at two idiots. The mood of the initial situation, where everyone had been questioning each other, hadpletely changed due to these two¡¯s argument. However, none of them were fools. They were able to realize what the problem was soon enough.

    "There is no point in us arguing this way," Thomas said.

    Wu Liang nodded. "True." They each had their respective faith. This argument was totally pointless.

    "Hehe." Smiling, Wealthy Zhao said, "The quagmire here is filled with danger. Although we are all rivals, there is no point in starting a fight now."

    "Yeah," Sakata Chuunibyou agreed.

    Thomas and Wu Liang exchanged nces and agreed as well.

    Thomas sneered. "Hmph. This damnable Chen Feng is the one starting things. Truthfully, among everyone here, I fear you the most. Even during the Primordial Era, the power of luck was extremely terrifying."

    The rest had solemn expressions as they heard this. Since luck was something one could not see and predict, it was the most terrifying of all.

    "Were you the one creating chaos with luck earlier?" Wu Liang asked with a pensive expression. As the rest heard this, their moods became solemn. True. Even if Chen Feng was making use of luck to create chaos, who could detect it? Was Chen Feng the one inducing them toward conflict with each other? The mere thought caused fear to rise in their hearts. Instantly, everyone focused their attention on Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng waved his hands repeatedly. "No, truly, I did not. I truly did not induce any chaos. In any case, would it even work against the two of you? I can prove myself," Chen Feng said.

    Wu Liang sneered. "How are you going to prove it?"

    "Simple." Chen Feng sighed. "This is not how luck is supposed to be used. At present, I can only use it to avoid some disasters, nothing else. As for your conflict earlier... Sigh, I have truly heard of the legend saying that the Sword God is much stronger than the War God," Chen Feng said with a bitter smile on his face.

    "Bullshit. Our War God is obviously the stronger one," Thomas rebuked angrily.

    "You are the one bullshitting. What the hell does the War God count as?" Wu Liang cursed in rage.

    Thomas sneered. "I reckon that effeminate Sword God does not even have a penis!"

    "F*ck you. Say it again if you dare."

    ...

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Wealthy Zhao: "..."

    Sakata Chuunibyou: "..."

    The two continued arguing for a long time before noticing how silent their surroundings were and noted that something wasn¡¯t right. Next, they looked at Chen Feng and said, "What the hell. Are you messing with us again?"

    "No, I truly didn¡¯t," Chen Feng said with a big smile on his face. "My point is, I truly didn¡¯t use the power of luck. That thing is only used to avoid disasters. How can I use it to trick others? My power is fortune, not bad luck!" Chen Feng shrugged. "The grudge between the two of you originates from your very selves..."

    The argument between the two earlier had proved his point perfectly. The rest exchanged nces and found what Chen Feng said to be agreeable.

    Chen Feng continued, "If you do not believe me, you guys can try it as well. It is truly very simple. You guys only need to say that War God is more..."

    "Shut up!" Wu Liang and Thomas said at the same time.

    Chen Feng shrugged innocently. "Fine."

    "Hmph!" Wu Liang snorted and stopped questioning Chen Feng.

    "Hehe." Wealthy Zhao tried to resolve the dispute. "Don¡¯t be too anxious. Since Chen Feng has not messed around with us, how about we work together for now? This quagmire does not seem simple. If we start fighting right now, I suppose that, ultimately, none of us will be able to enter. Therefore, let¡¯s cooperate temporarily. It will not be toote to start fighting after we discover the item left behind by a god."

    The rest exchanged nces and agreed with this proposition. "Fine."

    "If so, the first thing we need to deal with is this quagmire." Wealthy Zhao looked at Chen Feng.

    "Let me give it a try." Chen Feng tried leading them out. Indeed, with him leading, the frequency at which they stepped into the quagmire was reduced greatly. They finally left this quagmire.

    Wealthy Zhao and the rest were amazed. "The power of luck is indeed powerful."

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. It actually seeded...

    Everyone believed that he had used the power of luck. He was the only one who knew clearly that he hadn¡¯t done anything.

    "If that thing is truly helping you, we can go there directly. What is the point in bringing all these people along? If they go there as well, they will be ourpetitors," Spirit urged.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    That mysterious stone was even more anxious than he had imagined. However, since the stone was so anxious, why had it note to Chen Feng itself? Duma had once said that this stone was extremely dangerous and had vanished by itself before as well. As such, it should be able to move, right?

    Chen Feng¡¯s nce swept past the others around him. Are you afraid of these people?

    Was this fear due to the power of resonance?

    Countless thoughts shed through Chen Feng¡¯s mind, yet he maintained the same calm expression. They continued heading toward the center of the forest. Suddenly, howling sounds arose from around them, and numerous huge and dreadful-looking monsters appeared. All of these monsters were awakened ones!

    Thomas sneered. "I knew there would be mutated beasts here."

    "We will be relying on you both, then," Wealthy Zhao said with a smile.

    "Fear not."

    Thomas and Wu Liang moved together.

    Swish! Swish!

    A terrifyingbat power erupted, and in a short few minutes, the ten-odd awakened beasts were all killed.

    Wealthy Zhao narrowed his eyes. "The strength of you two... I reckon you both have recovered around 50% or 60% of your strength, right?"

    "Nope," Thomas said calmly. "Presently, I am only at level 10 awakened at most."

    "I am around the same as well," Wu Liang said. The rest of them¡¯s moods sank. Level 10 awakened...

    That¡¯s right. As resonators, even if only 50% of their strength was recovered, they were sufficiently strong to deliver a crushing defeat to all awakened ones. Just look the two of them that were already as strong as a level 10 awakened before full recovery. It was no wonder that the two of them had been able to easily defeat the 10-odd awakened beasts. Presently, they were at the peak of the awakened realm, level 10 awakened.

    As the beasts were already dealt with, they continued heading toward the center of the forest.

    Somewhat surprisingly, the soil beneath them, which was supposed to be loose and wet mud, had be hard now. When stepping on the ground, it felt like they were walking on normal ground instead of mud. The scenery before them was clear and had wide open spaces in front of them.

    "This ce..."

    They stopped walking and increased their vignce. They were already used to the numerous lurking dangers in this forest. What was up with this seemingly empty piece ofnd here?

    Wu Liang was filled with doubt. "Just like that, we can reach the middle of theke directly?"

    Thomas was filled with doubt as well. "I guess so?"

    "Let me take a look." A random ray of light shot out of Chen Feng¡¯s hand into the ground.

    Bang!

    The ground trembled, yet no damage was dealt to it.

    Swish!

    Yet another ray of light shot out of his hand. This time, it was a red sh that instantly vanished in the distance, not returning.

    "Mhm... The ground is extremely solid. There should be no monsters hiding underground. No barriers have been detected up to a certain distance ahead either. We have not been locked in. Therefore, I reckon that there are no obstructions here," Chen Feng said after pondering for a bit.

    They started guessing. "Perhaps... this is the same as our previous guess. This is a ce of inheritance for awakened ones prior to that era."

    Chen Feng nodded in agreement. "That is possible."

    Just like that, they approached the middle of theke carefully. Regardless of what they guessed, they still maintained absolute vignce. Surprisingly, there were truly no more obstacles stopping them. Their entire journey proceeded smoothly, and soon, they reached their destination.

    There, a mysterious yellow stone was flickering with light. The light was in fact the aura of a powerful god that kept drifting around the air, causing all their hearts to flutter.

    Their hearts jolted furiously. "Just like this, we found it?"

 Chapter 692: Fusionâ€¦ Huh?

    Chapter 692: Fusion... Huh?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    That¡¯s right. The mysterious stone had revealed itself, and the aura of a god had once again appeared. There had been no further absurd difficulties or hurdles to get through before reaching this stone. They had only needed to pass through the quagmire and kill a couple monsters to arrive here, to see this stone left behind by a god. Just like that, it floated there, causing one¡¯s heart to flutter.

    Thomas¡¯s eyes gleamed brightly. "This aura..." This was absolutely the aura of a god! He had once experienced a simr aura from his lord. If he could make this stone his, perhaps he could help his lord recover even earlier. The rest of them were incredibly tempted by this stone as well.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted furiously. "This stone..." The moment he saw this stone, he was iparably certain that this was most definitely another fate stone, one even more powerful than the one he¡¯d had. The Luck Aura within him started bubbling up.

    Spirit could no longer hold back her emotions. "Ah ah ah ah¡ªthis is it! I can feel it. With this, our strength will transform qualitatively, achieving true resonance!"

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "Resonance?"

    "Mhm." Spirit was agitated. "Not only Luck Aura. The power contained within this stone is capable of increasing the strength of both of us greatly."

    Chen Feng maintained his narrowed eyes. "Is that so?" Was that because this was also a fate stone? The shape of this thing was rather unique. It was a stone, yet there was a depression on it, leaving one-fifth of it empty, looking incredibly wondrous. Chen Feng looked at the indentation on it. It seemed like... his fate stone was of this shape?

    "I see." Chen Feng finally understood. In short, his fate stone would only be a true fate stone after reuniting with this stone, truly possessing the power of a god. It was no wonder he could feel the agitation of his Luck Aura, akin to two pieces of a ma that longed after each other, attracting each other incessantly.

    Letting thembine was the only path he could take.

    Chen Feng was looking pensive. Is this why you summoned me?

    Grasping her tiny fists tightly, Spirit spoke in excitement. "Snatch! Snatch! Snatch! The fate stone will definitely side with us. Regardless of how strong the four of them are, this stone will belong to us! Hmph! So long as we get to touch this stone... those three will have no hope."

    Shua!

    Suddenly, the mood became tense. This temporary team of five had only been established shortly, yet just like that, it was dissolved. There was truly no helping it. Since the mysterious stone had appeared, what was the point of further cooperation? This was something none of them had seening.

    Bang!

    Just as Chen Feng was contemting without stop, Thomas moved against the stone, trying to snatch it. At exactly the same time, Wu Liang moved without hesitation as well.

    Bang!

    The two level 10 awakened started battling. By the side, Wealthy Zhao, Sakata Chuunibyou and Chen Feng looked at each other, and killing intent bloomed in the air.

    "Come! For Lord Goddess!" Sakata Chuunibyou howled heroically before moving.

    Bang!

    The battle erupted.

    With this, the presentbat power of Sakata Chuunibyou was clearly disyed: level-nine awakened.

    Chen Feng frowned and unleashed his resonancebat power without hesitation: level-nine awakened. Simrly, Wealthy Zhao unleashed hisbat power, also level-nine awakened. The three of them were actually all at level-nine awakened.

    Bang! Bang!

    The three fought each other. Not far away, Thomas and Wu Liang fought each other as well. The five surrounded the mysterious stone. Anyone that tried to approach the stone was attacked by everyone else. This was a chaotic battle. The only constant was that no one was allowed to approach that stone.

    Bang!

    People were sted away from the stone without stop. However, whoever was sted away would charge back into the battle tenaciously. For resonators like them, so long as their energy wasn¡¯t exhausted, they would not suffer any true injury.

    At this time...

    Bang!

    Chen Feng was sted away. The rest nced at him, then ignored him.

    However, something that rmed all of them happened. The instant Chen Feng was sted away, the mysterious floating stone, which had remained still all this while, moved. With a sh, it streaked straight at Chen Feng.

    "What?"

    "Not good!"

    Their expressions sank.

    This thing... was actually capable of moving? They were all rmed, and they charged at Chen Feng at the same time.

    Within Chen Feng, Spirit was ecstatic. "Here ites!"

    Indeed. She knew that this stone belonged to Chen Feng. Regardless of how powerful those damnable resonators were, they could not hope toy their hands on it.

    "Haha. You can kill them all upon your breakthrough into the realm of resonance," Spirit said proudly. Right at this moment...

    Thomas sneered. "Hmph!"

    Hum¡ª

    Radiance swirled around him, emanating the aura of a resonator.

    They had yet to recover their full strength. As such, if possible, none wished to utilize the true power of resonance, only utilizing the power of an awakened one. However...

    Thomas¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Resonance: War God¡¯s Power!"

    Bang!

    A terrifying aura surged out. Resonance was so scary only because it was a power that utilized the strength of a god, a power capable of utilizing those incredibly rming powers!

    Bang!

    The heavens and earth seemed to roll over before this power. The initially spotlessly white clouds in the sky started condensing before assuming the shape of a huge hatchet, and the blue sky turned into a blue cloth that wrapped around the immense hatchet, transforming the hatchet into a huge sky-blue hatchet. One could vaguely see that above the hatchet, the blue sky and white clouds remained.

    This... was the hatchet of the skies.

    "sh!" Thomas said with a cold gaze.

    Bang!

    The earth trembled. The hatchetnded, leaving an immense gorge in the ground, cutting off the path of the stone toward Chen Feng, forcing the stone to retreat. Both Chen Feng and the stone could only stare at each other with a gorge between them, yet the gorge appeared like a precipice. Around the gorge, the aura of the War God swirled around. If the stone insisted on charging through, it would definitely be infected with the aura of the War God.

    Hence, it had no choice but to stop.

    Thomas sneered. "Hehe. I don¡¯t know what you have done to attract it, but aren¡¯t you being too arrogant if you are thinking of monopolizing this stone in front of us four resonators?"

    Sakata Chuunibyou erupted with a simrly terrifying power. "By the name of god, dimensional rampart!"

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance swirled around, instantly blockading the space three meters around the mysterious stone.

    Sakata Chuunibyou smiled. "Or perhaps this divine stone itself was selecting its master? It does not matter. Although I don¡¯t know the reason you moved yourself, the power of a god about you has been locked. Within the dimensional rampart, the powers of all gods are rendered ineffective. For now, you are but a mere regr stone."

    Wu Liang and the rest sneered as well. With this, before the fusion process of the stone had even started, it ended. Spirit¡¯s watery eyes were filled with fury. Finally, she understood why Chen Feng hadn¡¯t charged directly toward the stone. That was because the strength of these resonators was indeed incredibly terrifying. The borrowed powers of the gods were indeed dreadful.

    The mere sight of the gorge left behind by the hatchet was sufficient to nt fear in Spirit¡¯s heart. What should they do, then? She felt conflicted. They were only around 10 meters away from the stone, but that damnable gorge was between them. They could see it, but they couldn¡¯t touch it!

    Spirit pouted. "So angry!"

    However, right at this instant, she found with surprise that Luck Aura had been reactivated!

    "Ah!"

    Spirit told Chen Feng with joy.

    Chen Feng was surprised as well. "Reactivated?" This power that had remained still for so long had actually been reactivated right at this moment of crisis? Was this the work of that stone?

    Indeed... you both are the same thing.

    Spirit was happy. "This is a temporary reactivation. Looks like the fate stone is helping us. It does not matter. Even if it is only a temporary reactivation, it is already sufficient. With this... hmph!"

    Spirit waved her tiny hands around proudly.

    Shua!

    Instantly, a random spatial current appeared beside Chen Feng.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng was sucked within and instantly vanished.

    When he appeared once again, he was beside the stone. That¡¯s right. Here at this ce with no traces of spatial power, a spatial current had been created by utilizing the spatial power someone else was using in another part of the world, channeling it over "coincidentally," creating this spatial current that had instantly ced Chen Feng right beside the stone. Transforming an impossibility into a possibility! This was exactly what Chen Feng had guessed long ago. With sufficient luck value, Luck Aura was undefeatable.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng appeared beside the fate stone.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance swirled about. Both the Luck Aura within Chen Feng and the fate stone were radiating the exact same radiance.

    "Not good!"

    Finally, the expressions of Wealthy Zhao and the rest changed.

    It¡¯s over!

    None of them had expected that even during such a crucial moment, Chen Feng had this trick hidden up his sleeve. He could actually cause that damnable spatial current to appear at any time. Instinctively, they tried charging forth to stop Chen Feng.

    However... it was toote. They could only stare on nkly as that mysterious stone streaked toward Chen Feng, trying to fuse into his chest.

    Suddenly, their eyes widened.

    Huh???

    This...

    That was because, right as the stone was about to fuse with Chen Feng, just as it was about to enter Chen Feng¡¯s body, Chen Feng leaped and avoided the stone by himself.

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Dodged?

    All of them were rmed. What was he doing? Even the stone was dumbstruck as it hovered there, unmoving. When it regained its calm and tried to once again charge at Chen Feng, with a twist of his waist, Chen Feng avoided the stone yet again.

    All of them were stupefied. Bro, what are you doing?

    They had clearly seen Chen Feng appear there utilizing some spatial current. Why in the world was he avoiding the stone now?

    This fellow...

    They were all bewildered as they looked at Chen Feng.

    "What are you looking at?" Chen Feng berated them. "Why are you all still not stopping it?"

    "Huh? Oh."

    They reacted and immediately blocked the stone¡¯s path to Chen Feng, not giving it a chance to approach him. Next, the mood became rather peculiar.

    Mhm...

    This...

    Thomas and the rest exchanged nces and appeared rather perplexed. They were all old foxes with rich experiences, yet this was the first time they had encountered something like this. What exactly was this bro Chen Feng trying to do here? They were all clueless.

    Sakata Chuunibyou scratched his head, confused. "Bro, you..."

    The other three looked at Chen Feng as well, hoping that he would answer them. However, the present Chen Feng did not have any time to spare for them.

    Spirit pouted, almost angered to tears. "What are you doing?" She had with great difficulty created this chance for Chen Feng to obtain that stone. Unexpectedly, during the most crucial moment, this master of hers had actually been pulling her leg. This was too excessive!

    Chen Feng merely regarded her silently before suddenly asking, "Spirit, how long have you followed me?"

    Spirit pondered and answered nkly, "A long time, I guess?" She had appeared with the previous upgrade of Luck Aura.

    Chen Feng sighed. "Yeah. Since your appearance, regardless of whether there was any luck value, you have been by my side, analyzing and calcting for me. In a way, you are the one who has had the most interaction with me, evenpared to thatzy bum Xiao Ying. You are also a capablepanion of mine."

    "Ah?" Spirit had a bad feeling. What was going on with Chen Feng?

    "However..." Chen Feng suddenly used an odd gaze to look at her. "Do you still remember when you first appeared? You were rather foolish, no?"

    "Ah?" Spirit recalled the scene when they had first met. At that time, she had not had a fixed form yet, nor had she had a name. Both had been given to her by Chen Feng. However, why was he talking about this now?

    Chen Feng chuckled. "Both your name and form were given by me. There is also something of utmost importance."

    "What?" Spirit asked nkly.

    The smile on Chen Feng¡¯s face vanished. "Authority. Regardless of what you do, you need my authorization, even if it¡¯s the usage of one single luck value."

    Shua!

    Instantly, Spirit paled.

    "Yet just now..." Chen Feng took in a deep breath. "After Luck Aura was reactivated, you directly used luck value to create a spatial current. I can forget about therge amount of luck value exhausted without my authorization. Yet for you to toss me into a dangerous ce like a spatial current, shouldn¡¯t you inform me first?"

    Spatial currents were extremely dangerous. They only had a probability of one in a million to appear when someone was utilizing spatial powers. If a regr person was to enter a spatial current, that person would definitely die.

    Spirit waved her hands repeatedly and said with shame, "S... sorry. I was too anxious. With Luck Aura, the spatial current was definitely safe for you. I... this is my fault. I was too anxious and was in a rush and did not consult your opinion. I am sorry. I will never do this again." Spirit was almost in tears.

    Chen Feng shook his head and said with a smile. "No, no. You have yet to understand where the problem lies."

    "What?" Spirit was confused. What was the problem?

    "There is no need for an apology. There is also nothing to be rushed. All along, there has only been one single issue." Chen Feng shed her a wide smile and said, one word at a time, "Why, as a body of consciousness, are you able to utilize my power without my authorization? Why can you use Luck Aura without my authorization? Who gave you the nerves to do that?" His gaze fixed on Spirit, Chen Feng bellowed, "Was it that stone?"

    Bang!

    Spirit waspletely dumbfounded.

    Chen Feng spoke coldly. "I need an exnation for your actions." This was the true issue he needed solving.

    From the moment he first met Spirit, she had always been helping him behind the scenes. Every time she had used luck value, his authorization had been required. However, if she could actually use luck value without his authorization, had she been faking it all along when she¡¯d asked for his authorization all the time? This thought was rather scary!

    If she hadn¡¯t been faking it, then why? Moreover, even after answering this question, there was an even more terrifying question to answer.

    "I... I..." Spirit had a puzzled expression and was speaking incoherently. "Wuwuwu, I truly don¡¯t know. I was just feeling very anxious, and when I saw you in danger, Luck Aura suddenly reactivated, and instinctively, I used it. Surprisingly, it worked. I truly have no idea what happened earlier," Spirit said with a wronged expression.

    She could not understand why this had happened from her mere act of helping Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "Do you think I will trust your words?" He refused to believe that there would be such a coincidence.

    "I... I..." Spirit was so anxious that her tiny face was flushed red. She wanted to exin yet found that even she herself found her exnation unsatisfactory. She truly had no idea how this had happened. "I am truly clueless," she said with a bewildered expression.

    "Well then... back then, in Mysterious Town, why were you missing when my soul returned to the Primordial Era?" Chen Feng asked. "It is reasonable to say that as a body of consciousness, you should have returned to the past together with my soul. Yet that didn¡¯t happen. Why?"

    Spirit waspletely confused. "I... I don¡¯t know. What do you mean by soul returning to Primordial Era?"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He had a feeling that Spirit would not lie. However, due to her using luck value without his authorization, he could no longer trust her, not without a proper exnation. Unfortunately, Spirit was behaving this way. He could assume that her failure to follow him back to the past was due to the suppression of the primordial power. However, the matter pertaining to authority...

    Chen Feng could not believe that the one he had trusted most had been lying to him all along. This betrayal caused him to feel a bitter disappointment.

    Chen Feng¡¯s tone became gentler. "Spirit, think properly. Why were you able to control Luck Aura?" Chen Feng started leading her on with his line of questioning. "In the past, you had to first ask for my authorization. By the way, have you ever used Luck Aura secretly in the past?"

    Spirit lowered her head. "Yes. I tried, but I failed. That was when we first met. I tried to use it secretly only to find that I couldn¡¯t use it without your authorization."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. Oh? If there was aparison, this would be much easier to solve. In the past, she had not had the authority, yet now, she had the authority.

    Chen Feng sank into contemtion. Just when Spirit had been anxious, Luck Aura had coincidentally reactivated. Coincidentally, Spirit could now use Luck Aura freely without his authorization. After using Luck Aura for so long, Chen Feng had stopped believing in pure coincidences. As such, if it was assumed to be something inevitable...

    "Spirit, deactivate Luck Aura immediately," Chen Feng said suddenly.

    "I don¡¯t know how to do that," Spirit said, bewildered.

    "Just use your consciousness and will for it to be sealed," Chen Feng said.

    Spirit was confused. "How?" How could she seal this thing?

    "Seal!" Chen Feng bellowed.

    In a frantic manner, Spirit pointed at Luck Aura and shouted, "S... seal!"

    Hum¡ª

    Suddenly, the aura of Luck Aura vanished.

    Luck, sealed.

    Spirit¡¯s eyes widened. "Ah? S... sealed?"

    Even she herself did not dare to believe this. She stared at her hands, then at Chen Feng, suddenly realizing that she could never exin herself after this. How had this...

    However, at this, Chen Feng¡¯s trust in her instead increased. "Don¡¯t worry. Now, continue after me." Chen Feng spoke slowly. "Luck Aura, activate."

    "Luck Aura, activate," Spirit said while stammering.

    Hum¡ª

    The familiar radiance shone once again. Luck Aura was reactivated.

    Indeed!

    "This..."

    Spirit was thoroughly dumbstruck. So she had this power in her?

    She started sobbing. "I... I... Sorry. I truly had no idea."

    "No, I believe you," Chen Feng said with a gentle smile.

    "You... you believe me?" At present, Spirit was doubting even herself.

    "Naturally. This is probably an ability we obtained aftering near that stone. Therefore, this is an ability you did not possess before this." Chen Feng shook his head. "That is why you were able to use it subconsciously earlier."

    "That¡¯s what happened?" Spirit was still puzzled. She was normally good at deducing things, yet she was utterly confused when she herself was the subject of the deductions.

    "Then..." Chen Feng shook his head. "I only have one final question."

    Spirit looked at him. "What?"

    Chen Feng sighed. "What exactly is your true identity? Let me rephrase my question: who are you?"

 Chapter 694: Supreme Power

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "I..."

    Spirit found herself incapable of answering this question.

    She lowered her head helplessly. "I don¡¯t know." Who was she? She found that she truly had no idea. From birth, she had been here, within Chen Feng¡¯s consciousness. Everything else about herself, she had no idea. She had initially believed that her entire life would pass in such a fashion, yet this cmity had abruptly arisen.

    Spirit had already given up on exining herself. "I¡¯m sorry."

    "Of course I know that you don¡¯t know," Chen Feng said with a smile. "However, some existences know who you are."

    Spirit looked at him. "Huh?"

    Chen Feng pointed at the mysterious stone. "That thing. I am sure that everything you possess now should have appeared after Luck Aurapleted its upgrade. As for thepletion of the upgrade, it is rted to this stone. I have a feeling that even the sudden halt in Luck Aura¡¯s upgrade is rted to that stone. Whenparing when the upgrade paused and when Duma told me about the existence of this thing, I kept having a feeling that something was wrong somewhere. This stone might be the one causing Luck Aura to be deactivated. After all... luck is capable of everything! When two powers of luck encounter each other, it will probably be a sh between luck values. My Luck Aura, which normally does not have much luck value, most certainly could not have been a match for this stone. As such, Luck Aura deactivated itself.

    "Furthermore, this stone knows of your existences. As such, it kept calling to you without stop. That is also why you were so impatient to meet this stone, so anxious that you employed the power of Luck Aura subconsciously in the midst of your anxiousness," Chen Feng slowly finished his exnation.

    In Spirit¡¯s mind, things appeared clearer and clearer. "I see."

    Chen Feng gazed gently at Spirit. "Now, I need your help."

    "I..." Spirit yed with the corner of her skirt, somewhat nervous. "Can I still be of help to you?"

    Chen Feng smiled. "Of course. You are Spirit, the one and only! Now, I will give full authorization over Luck Aura to you. You will be deducing and analyzing... seeking any probable truth, finding out exactly what this damnable stone is," Chen Feng said solemnly.

    Spirit nodded resolutely. "Mhm!"

    Hum¡ª

    Luck Aura started operating.

    Spirit poured all her effort into her deductions. Bright light shone within Chen Feng¡¯s illusory world. As a body of consciousness, she was iparable in terms of deductions, much better than even Chen Feng. Therefore...

    Shua! Shua!

    Countless figures of light shed past in the illusory world. In real life, everything seemed to have paused. Chen Feng waited for the result silently within his illusory world. After a long time, Spiritpleted her deductions. However, she remained silent for a long time, not daring to speak.

    "What¡¯s up?" Chen Feng asked.

    "I...I..." Spirit raised her tiny fist to encourage herself before saying. "I am done deducing! The truth is not far from your guesses. That stone is quite possibly the other fate stone. To be precise, it was originally one stone and was divided into two during that war back in the Primordial Era. The one you obtained was the smaller piece of the stone. Despite the smaller size and the lower amount of luck value that stone had, it was nevertheless the core part of the stone. That is also why the bigger stone has been calling to it without stop.

    "I am aware of what you are worried about. You are worried that the power of Luck Aura will be devoured by that stone. This is quite possible. After all, the power of luck the bigger stone has at its disposal was way too scary. However, If we can think of a way to get the stone toe for the fusion, toe of its own initiative, it is quite possible that its power will be the one to be devoured.

    "From my deductions, I obtained three proposals that might be of use to you. So long as we seed in one of them, you will be an expert in the truest sense, possessing an inexhaustible power of luck, truly bing invincible!"

    Spirit was finished with her exnation. She had not only verified all of Chen Feng¡¯s guesses, she had also deduced solutions based on the results of her deductions, behaving precisely like the impression of Spirit that Chen Feng had had in his heart all this while. s...

    Chen Feng sighed. "Have you not thought of any problem that might arise from this?"

    "Do you still not believe me?" Spirit asked dispiritedly.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "No. Even you, the smaller fate stone, had your consciousness birthed right here within my consciousness. Do you think that the bigger fate stone is without its own consciousness? If you two fuse... do you think you will survive?"

    Spirit¡¯s body trembled as she heard this.

    Chen Feng spoke faintly. "Or perhaps... you have indeed thought of this. You are afraid, yet you dare not voice your concerns. Or perhaps you are of the opinion that I will proceed despite knowing that you might disappear after the fusion?"

    Spirit remained silent.

    Chen Feng sighed. "This is what I am worried about. Spirit, although you now have the authority to use Luck Aura, I do not wish for you to go beyond your authority. You only need to tell me the results. That will be sufficient. How to do it, or what to do, is something for me to decide. Do you understand now?" Chen Feng said coldly.

    Spirit lowered her head. "Yes."

    "I do hope the same thing will not happen again in the future," Chen Feng said faintly.

    "Oh..." Spirit blinked. In the future? "Huh?"

    "A stronger fate stone and a boundless power of luck are indeed incredibly tempting. However, for me..." Chen Feng nced at Spirit. "They are not as important as you."

    Spirit nked. "Huh?"

    "Hehe." Smiling, Chen Feng said, "Boundless power... does that not sound like the seduction of the devil itself? I will never give up on an adorable loli for the sake of something like that. After all, I have watched your growth myself."

    Spirit¡¯s eyes were filled with hope. "Huh?" She felt like today, she had taken a trip to both Hell and Heaven. She had done something like this... yet he was still not willing to abandon her?

    Spirit was endlessly touched as she clenched her tiny fists tightly before her chest and vowed that she would most certainly not let Chen Feng down.

    "Thus, let us leave here together," Chen Feng said with a smile.

    Spirit nodded resolutely. "Mhm."

    Chen Feng chuckled as he saw this. This little girl was trying her level best to showcase her worth now, huh?

    He had his own reasons for not epting that mysterious stone. A more powerful fate stone, with power as attractive as the devil¡¯s temptation? A single Spirit was already capable of controlling the power within him. If he allowed that even more powerful fellow to enter his body...

    Hehe.

    Would he still be Chen Feng in the future? More power also signified greater sacrifice. This was something Chen Feng was clear on. Regardless of how strong he became or what strength he obtained, it had to be under his control. Otherwise, what was the point of living? As for Luck Aura and Spirit, if his guess was correct, probably...

    "Forget it." Chen Feng shook his head, returning his consciousness to reality.

    Chapter 695: Graceful Evasion

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Out in the real world, Thomas and the others were facing each other. The stone was in the middle of them, yet none of them dared to approach it. None of them were idiots. Chen Feng¡¯s actions earlier had indeed frightened them. This was obviously something they all wanted. Thus, why had Chen Feng avoided it? Perhaps... there was some problem with this thing?

    Chen Feng spoke earnestly. "Hehe. There¡¯s no problem whatsoever. Before this, I seemed to have eaten something bad, and my tummy is feeling quite bad. Therefore, I have decided to leave first."

    The restughed dryly. How fake.

    Thomas asked the main point: "Why did this thing suddenly charge at you, then?"

    Chen Feng shrugged. "I have no idea. Perhaps... due to my looks?"

    Thomas¡¯s expression stiffened. "..."

    Smiling, Chen Feng continued, "Why is there a need to ask so many questions? In any case, it has already been trapped by you guys, right? I suppose you four should start discussing a way to take this stone down. As for me, I am not joining in on the fun. Hehe..." Chen Feng retreated silently.

    Thomas and the rest exchanged nces, at a loss as to what to do now. To stop Chen Feng, at least two of them would be required. If that happened, the other two could very well monopolize the stone for themselves. They also needed to take into consideration the fact that this stone could move by itself. Nobody knew what would happen if they truly did split up to chase after Chen Feng.

    Therefore, they had no choice but to watch on as Chen Feng left. Even though Chen Feng¡¯s earlier actions had indeed nted some fear in them, this did not outweigh the benefit the stone could bring them should they obtain it. Furthermore, they did not have to take the risk of using the stone personally. If they sacrificed it to their respective gods, that would be sufficient.

    At the thought of this, they all calmed down and prepared for the fight over the stone. However, right at this instant, the earth started trembling. A terrifying beast seemed to be on the verge of appearing. Suddenly, the entire ground beneath them became filled with mud, and the sky changed color.

    Numerous terrifying mutated beasts appeared.

    Howl¡ª

    Thomas sneered. "Again?"

    "No, it seems different this time." Wealthy Zhao had a solemn expression. There, on the edge of their vision, a terrifying leopard could be seen. Its entire body was emanating a bizarre radiance, a radiance that was an aura belonging to a resonator. This fellow was actually a beast at the resonance realm. Moreover, for an unknown reason, it had fully recovered its power of resonance.

    "How is this possible!" Thomas howled. "I have been cultivating frantically since the moment the primordial started to descend, yet my full strength has yet to recover even now. How has a mere beast here recovered before me?"

    "..."

    The rest were speechless as well. Even Chen Feng, who had left earlier, was forced back by this wave of beasts.

    Shua! Shua!

    Numerous beasts appeared,pletely surrounding this ce. A true resonator beast and several dozen awakened beasts...

    "Damn it."

    Their expressions were unsightly. They weren¡¯t bothered by the awakened beasts. However, the resonator beast...

    Thomas¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "These animals have chosen quite an excellent time to appear huh?"

    "Spirit..." Chen Feng called inwardly.

    "Here," Spirit replied softly. "If my deduction is correct, these beasts are probably here due to that stone and are being controlled by that stone using a unique method. Their real goal is to force you back here."

    Chen Feng sneered. "Indeed." This fellow truly had a consciousness. Seeing as it was willing to pay any price for the sake of fusing with him, the true reason was probably not as simple as increasing Chen Feng¡¯s strength after the fusion.

    The leopard howled. Instantly, the several dozen awakened beasts around them swarmed Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    Thomas¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Courting death!"

    Mere awakened beasts were nothing for them. s, just as they started attacking the awakened beasts, the mysterious stone suddenly moved and broke out of the weak barrier.

    Swish!

    The mysterious stone charged out, its goal once again Chen Feng.

    Everyone¡¯s expression changed greatly. "Not good."

    "Stop it!" Wu Liang howled.

    Unfortunately, the timing this stone had selected to act so ingenious, so ingenious that everyone barely missed it and could only watch on nkly as it rushed to fuse into Chen Feng¡¯s body...

    Shua!

    Chen Feng nted his body and once again barely dodged the stone.

    ??

    Everyone was dumbstruck.

    He evaded it? Once again, he evaded it?

    This...

    They exchanged nces, doubt in their eyes. Once again, he had done the same thing!

    Swish!

    The stone charged at Chen Feng once again. Thomas and the rest tried to stop it, but once again, they barely missed the stone, as the beasts around them were always coincidentally in their way. This stone was still as ingenious with its timing as ever. Or perhaps it would be more apt to say that this stone was extremely good at manufacturing the perfect opportunity for it to act.

    s, all of this seemed ineffective against Chen Feng. And thus, in the middle of theke, amid the chaotic battlefield, four resonators frantically chased after the stone while the stone incessantly chased after Chen Feng, with Chen Feng avoiding it time and time again.

    ??

    Everyone was dumbfounded. Even the leopard was dumbfounded at this.

    ...

    The order it had received was to not attack the young man called Chen Feng, as this fellow was seemingly the destined chosen son of heaven. If so, why was this fellow dodging without stop? The leopard could not understand this. Perhaps this was what made the chosen son of heaven so special?

    Ultimately, by the time all the awakened beasts there were killed, everyone there was thoroughly exhausted. The four resonators were all panting heavily. They¡¯d had to chase after the stone while killing those beasts, causing this exhaustion. As for that stone, it was presently floating in the air, seemingly contemting something. As for Chen Feng, after being chased after for so long, he was incredibly exhausted as well. Turning around, he gazed at the distant stone.

    Suddenly, the atmosphere there became tranquil. It appeared very bizarre yet awkward at the same time. Thomas and the rest had dumbstruck expressions, as none of them had imagined that theirpetition over this stone would turn out this way in the end.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The stone started glowing. Seeing this, Thomas and the rest became nervous. As for Chen Feng, his scalp felt numb, his tenses stretched taut.

    Wu Liang looked at Chen Feng. "Erm... do you still not n to give us any sort of exnation? If you insist on not exining, I will watch on as you fuse with the stone. Without us stopping it, you are definitely not as fast as that stone."

    Chen Feng sneered. "Can you bear with the thought of that happening, though?"

    Wu Liang and the rest had pained expressions on their faces. Testing Chen Feng with a treasure with the aura of a god lingering on it? They were truly incapable of bearing with that.

    Hum¡ª

    Once again, the stone shone.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Fine. The only reason I have been avoiding it is because I recognized this stone earlier. It is indeed an item of a god, yet it is not the treasure we all thought of. Rather, it signifies charming and devouring! All the beasts here are under its control. Perhaps its true goal is to lure all resonators here and then devouring all the resonators to increase its strength. If I truly fused with it... hehehe." Chen Feng concluded with a sneer. As the rest heard this, their bodies chilled. Such a thing existed?

 Chapter 696: Luck Is on Our Side

    Chapter 696: Luck Is on Our Side

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Sakata Chuunibyou¡¯s body chilled as he recalled the legend. "I seemed to have heard of a simr legend..."

    Wealthy Zhao wiped his cold sweat. "I heard of the same legend as well. Although it did not exin things clearly, if it ispared with what we are seeing here..."

    Chen Feng calmly continued, "Perhaps my power is enticing it, or perhaps my power will grant it the greatest improvement in strength. Therefore, it has been focusing on fusing with me, since at present, it still isn¡¯t particrly powerful. However, after devouring and fusing with my power... which of you guys will be able to escape?"

    Hiss¡ª

    The rest took in a mouthful of cold air in shock. As they analyzed Chen Feng¡¯s actions thus far, what he said seemed to be right? He had been dodging the stone all this while!

    Wu Liang was filled with doubt. "Are you telling the truth?"

    "If this were a lie, I would have fused with the stone long ago. Why else would I still be here talking to you guys?" grumbled Chen Feng.

    Wu Liang sank into silence. True, this was an undeniable fact. If that stone was truly something good, when the moment it had first charged at Chen Feng, he would have fused with it. Would the rest of them have then stood any chance? Moreover, the actions of that stone had also caused all their hearts to chill. As a treasure, should it not stay there obediently while others fought over it? Why was iting by itself? This scene by itself was dreadful enough.

    Chen Feng spoke coldly. "It possesses its own consciousness, a sinister and powerful consciousness."

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Seemingly understanding Chen Feng¡¯s words, the stone started flickering frantically. As the rest saw this, the fear in their hearts deepened. This mysterious stone was indeed not an ordinary item.

    "Those suddenly appearing mutated beasts, that leopard still watching on there... do you all believe that it is a mere coincidence that they are all here?" Chen Feng said coldly. The rest thought about it and gained an understanding shortly after.

    Wu Liang was ashen faced. "We have all been tricked!"

    Wealthy Zhao was furious. "This is actually a trap set up for resonators."

    "Damnable stone," Thomas cursed.

    Hum¡ª

    Once again, the stone started glowing.

    They all maintained their calm. "What is it saying?"

    "Please wait a moment." Chen Feng shut both his eyes and asked Spirit the same question. Since Spirit was simrly a consciousness birthed from the fate stone, perhaps she could understand what this fellow was trying to say.

    "Oh... I don¡¯t quite understand the specifics of what it¡¯s saying, but I get the general meaning. It is saying that as a divine item of luck, it is only here to select the chosen seed of heaven. It bears no malice," Spirit tranted, somewhat at a loss.

    "All right." To the rest of them, Chen Feng tranted, "It seems to be saying that it is the chosen seed of heaven. For us to be devoured by it, we should all be deeply grateful?"

    Mysterious Stone: "???"

    Was this tranting?

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    It raged and started shining brightly.

    "See, I have indeed guessed correctly."

    Spirit: "..."

    However, this stone being able tomunicate somewhat surpassed his expectations. If he could get Spirit tomunicate with this stone... However, after giving it some thought, Chen Feng gave up on this thought. If his guess was correct...

    He shook his head.

    "Spirit." Chen Feng spoke solemnly. "Remember. Never evermunicate too much with this stone. Its power of luck is too powerful, so powerful that you might be influenced as well."

    Spirit nodded her tiny head resolutely. "Mhm. Don¡¯t worry."

    After her previous experience, she had vowed to do her best here. She definitely would not do anything contrary to Chen Feng¡¯s wishes.

    Chen Feng heaved a sigh of relief. "That¡¯s good, then."

    At present, seeing as how there seemed to be no progress, the leopard started approaching them slowly. The terrifying aura gave them all an intense sense of oppression.

    "How ridiculous." Thomas entered his resonation mode. "Looks like we have no choice but to fight it out."

    Bang!

    The rest entered their resonation mode as well.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "nning to use force?" It seemed like after seeing how it would not be able to fuse sessfully, the stone had finally decided to deploy the leopard and fuse with him forcefully.

    Thomasughed sinisterly. "Looks like we have to work together once again."

    The actions of the leopard had verified Chen Feng¡¯s guess. Now that there were no longer any doubts, since this stone was indeed not something good, they should just destroy it. For something like this, the stronger it was, the faster the god behind it would reawaken.

    Therefore... they had to destroy this stone.

    Thomas had a vicious expression on his face as he said, "Before the War God reawakens, I will not allow another god to reawaken!"

    Wu Liang sneered. "What a coincidence. I am of the same opinion."

    The two exchanged nces andughed. Regardless of their grudges, at present, they all shared the same goal: to eliminate this damnable stone.

    Naturally, their only hindrance was the leopard.

    Wealthy Zhao took in a deep breath. "The aura of resonance... Although you possess theplete power of a resonator, I feel like your aura isn¡¯t particrly powerful. Perhaps you are not a resonator of the same batch as us? You are a newly broken-through resonator. That¡¯s right. That is the only way for you to be aplete resonator before the rest of us have recovered our strength. You have no need to recover your strength because you are a brand new resonator!"

    Suddenly, they all gained understanding. So this was a brand new resonator?

    Wu Liangughed. "In other words, level-one resonator?"

    "Yeah. Even though it is already a resonator, at level one, it can only borrow a feeble amount of its god¡¯s power." Thomasughed viciously. "Although the four of us have yet to fully recover, we can still easily defeat it."

    Shua!

    Their gazes became savage. Since they were already sure of their target, now would be the time to...

    Right at this instant.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The glowing stone seemed to be furious for real now. Perhaps due to the provocation of these people, or perhaps because it had figured out that fusing with Chen Feng was no longer possible, it resolutely gave up on chasing after Chen Feng.

    Shua!

    It flickered, and before anyone could react, it charged backward, heading toward the leopard.

    Bang!

    Instantly, the stone was embedded in the leopard¡¯s forehead.

    Hum¡ª

    A dreadful radiance shone brightly.

    The feeble resonance aura of the leopard started soaring and instantly broke through four minor realms, immediately reaching level-five resonator.

    The leopard howled, so loud even the deaf would be able to hear it.

    Howl¡ª

    Their expressions sank. "Damn it." Level-five resonator... With their present unrecovered strength, could they deal with this? Even with the five of them?

    Wealthy Zhao spoke calmly. "Fear not. Let¡¯s first look at the power it actually resonates with. Even at the same level, depending on the strength of the god they resonated with... the result of the battle will be different."

    "True."

    The rest regained their calm. The powers of gods were not necessarily used for battle. Resonators of the War God and Sword God were incredibly powerful. Even the rest of them were resonators of rather powerful gods. That¡¯s right. There was also Chen Feng here, a resonator of the Luck God. They had the resonators of several major gods here. If so, what should they be afraid of?

    Thomas sneered. "Luck is on our side."

    The rest gave Chen Feng a nce and agreed with this sentiment.

    Although their opponent was powerful, this was a battle they might not necessarily lose.

    Chen Fengughed dryly. "Hehe." He was truly curious: if these people figured out that their current opponent was the actual resonator of the Luck God, would they feel like beating him to death?

    The leopard howled. Thomas and the rest fully entered their resonator modes. Facing such an enemy, they had to give their all.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Layers uponyers of resonant power appeared.

    Battle!

    Thomas¡¯s battle intent surged.

    Howl¡ª

    The leopard dashed at them, iparably savage with its formidable strength that caused one¡¯s heart to flutter. Thomas, Wu Liang, and the rest started fighting with the leopard.

    Sakata Chuunibyou¡¯s entire body started zing with me. "Dimensional lockdown!" His godly power swirled around the leopard and everyone else, constantly weakening the leopard¡¯s attack and defense akin to a "buffer." As for Wealthy Zhao, lots of illusory money was hovering in the air around him.

    Shua! Shua!

    Everyone could feel the energy within their body bing boundless with a never-ending supply. Wealthy Zhao was also buffing thesebatants.

    Bang! Bang!

    The four started fighting with the leopard. Only Chen Feng was staying far away from the battlefield, staring at the leopard while his mouth mumbled without stop.

    Swish! Swish!

    Numerous rays of light shot out of his hand toward the battlefield. Thomas¡¯s and the rest waited patiently for Chen Feng to work his miracle.

    One minute.

    Two minutes.

    Three minutes.

    ...

    By the time they were all exhausted, they found that Chen Feng had still yet toe out with anything. Getting impatient, they asked, "Chen Feng, where¡¯s your godly power?"

    "I¡¯m using it." Chen Feng vaguely exined, "I am forcefully using the power of the Luck God to seal its godly power! Did you guys not notice that your opponent is not using any godly power at all?"

    "Huh?"

    They exchanged nces and realized that this was indeed true. So that was the case. It was no wonder that this leopard wasn¡¯t using any godly power. It turned out that this fellow¡¯s godly power had been sealed by Chen Feng? The Luck God was truly terrifying!

    Speaking with great difficulty, Chen Feng said, "Hasten the battle. I don¡¯t know how long I can keep up the seal."

    The rest inhaled deeply. "All right."

    Bang!

    Godly powers bloomed. Once again, they erupted with power. Once again, the stone in at the leopard¡¯s forehead started glowing. Perhaps the stone was finally feeling threatened, or perhaps it was simply too angered by these four idiots...

    Bang!

    Once again, the strength of the leopard underwent a transformation.

    The stone¡¯s thoughts: Seal my ass. Chen Feng is tricking you guys because you guys are all so gullible!

    In fact, the leopard had been using its godly power, the power of luck. Otherwise, where had the strength of this leopard originated from? Why had it evolved without stop? s, the power of luck had always been formless, causing them all to be unable to detect it. Did they not realize at all that the battle was getting more and more desperate?

    Indeed, they had not realized this. One could say that even if they did realize this, they would not rte this to godly power. When they saw the leopard¡¯s power increasing, they could onlyment inwardly: Wow, this leopard is truly strong!

    Thomas was shaken. "This leopard is actually so strong?"

    It was so powerful even with its godly power being sealed by Chen Feng. If it had been allowed to use its godly power, perhaps they would have all been defeated long ago? It was no wonder that this stone had dared to lure them all here. How ruthless! How powerful!

    Wu Liang sneered. "Looks like we have to put our lives on the line."

    Wealthy Zhao maintained his calm expression. "Come at us, then."

    "I don¡¯t know how much longer Chen Feng can hold on. Let¡¯s hasten this," Sakata Chuunibyou said.

    Standing not far away, Chen Feng was still mumbling without stop, an expression of utmost struggle on his face. His face somewhat pale as he seemingly unleashed the power of luck to seal this opponent¡¯s godly power with all his effort.

    "Mhm..."

    Once again, the four erupted with another bout of power. They knew that they had to deal with this leopard as soon as possible. Otherwise, the moment it broke free of the seal, they would surely die.

    Mysterious Stone: "..."

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The leopard¡¯s forehead started shining intensely. Finally, the stone had decided to show these idiots exactly how strong the godly power of luck was. It wanted to see how long Chen Feng would be able to continue pretending.

    The leopard howled.

    Ao¡ª

    Once again, it bathed in the radiance of luck. Once again, it evolved. Its level-five resonator realm increased once again.

    Thomas and the rest were overwhelmed with shock. "How..."

    "Damn it!" Chen Feng had an unsightly expression. "Its godly power actually ignored my seal. The godly power of luck is only capable of sealing any powers with a probability of failing, even if the probability is only 0.001%. However, it is presently using a power with a 100% sess rate. As such, even my power of luck is incapable of sealing it."

    "I see."

    Everyone¡¯s expression became solemn. True, Chen Feng¡¯s exnation of the usage of luck was indeed eptable. But...

    "I reckon this will be a bitter battle."

    Thomas was no longer as arrogant as he was. This leopard had evolved two times thus far, truly exceeding their expectations. Even if he had the godly power of the War God, the present him was already at his limit. If this continued...

    Wu Liang was simrly frowning deeply as well.

    He was in a simr situation as Thomas. Even after using his godly power, this was already his limit. Yet this damnable leopard seemed to be capable of unending evolution.

    A simrly unsightly expression was on Chen Feng¡¯s face. "Finish this as soon as possible. I feel like... my seal is not able tost much longer. "

    "I still have a trump card capable of increasing of all your godly powers by 30%," Wealthy Zhao said with a bitter smile. "However, it can onlyst three seconds."

    Thirty percent? Everyone¡¯s heart trembled.

    A thirty percent increase in godly power? One ought to know that this was not a mere increase in strength. Rather, this was an increase in their origin, their godly power! Thirty percent of godly power would be able to dramatically increase their strength. But the limitation of three seconds...

    They all frowned. Could they truly deal with this leopard with just three seconds?

    "I... I have a way of reducing this fellow¡¯s strength by half."

    Sakata Chuunibyou said anxiously, "However, I don¡¯t know how long it canst."

    "This is a good chance."

    Everyone¡¯s eyes shone.

    "If all this is used in conjunction with our trump cards..."

    Thomas and Wu Liang exchanged nces.

    "Let us begin!"

    "Condense!"

    Illusory money shed through Wealthy Zhao¡¯s hands as the power of the Prosperity God glowed, instantly increasing the strength of all of them.

    Sakata Chuunibyou howled. "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah¡ª"

    Gold radiance shone around him, akin to a raging me. His hair stood up, and in his right hand, an intense golden ball of light appeared.

    He pointed.

    "Seal!"

    Swish!

    A godly power pierced through space andnded directly on the leopard. Instantly, the terrifying power of the leopard declined steeply. As for Thomas and Wu Liang, who had been waiting for an opening, they both unleashed their trump cards at this moment.

    With a hatchet, shattering space.

    With a sword, piercing the heavens.

    Instantly, they both unleashed their strongest trump cards for this one single instant of vulnerability.

    Bang!

    A dazzling radiance shone upon the world, and a split secondter, it dimmed.

    On the ground, two deep gorges were left. This was the aftermath of the godly power attacks, akin to the work of nature itself.

    "Dead?"

    Everyone looked over.

    At the spot where the two gorges interwove stood the leopard. On its body were two injuries.

    Pu!

    Blood sttered around. The leopard copsed loudly. Ultimately, it was still a mere regr leopard. Even with the power of luck increasing its realm dramatically, the resonance realm was its limit. As for itsbat power... in truth, without the assistance of the power of luck, this leopard would have been killed instantly. Its main body was too weak.

    "Done!"

    Everyone was ecstatic.

    They had seeded! With Chen Feng¡¯s godly power of luck¡¯s sealing, Wealthy Zhao¡¯s godly power of wealth¡¯s buffing, Sakata Chuunibyou¡¯s godly power of dimensions¡¯ weakening the leopard, and the full eruption of the godly powers of Thomas and Wu Liang, this leopard that was much stronger than them had been finally defeated. Godly powers were indeed powerful.

    At this time.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The stone glowed with a weak radiance.

 Chapter 698: Murderous Intent Revealed

    Chapter 698: Murderous Intent Revealed

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng looked at the stone. "It is still there. This thing was already so powerful by merely attaching to a random life-form. If it is able to once againtch on to a life-form, I suppose we will all be finished here."

    "Destroy it."

    The rest were in agreement with this. None of them were idiots. They were naturally aware that this leopard was a life-form of the Gic Era, yet it had been able to reach the resonance realm. Why was that? Due to the stone, obviously. This stone would at first seduce others by promising strength, but in the end, others would be controlled by it. This was truly what one could call the devil¡¯s seduction. The victim would still innocently believe that after their strength increased, they would still remain themself, but in fact, the victim was already under the stone¡¯s control.

    Thomas inhaled deeply. "We have seen way too many simr situations in the past."

    Wu Liang had a resolute expression as well. "This thing... must be destroyed!" Charming was one of the most terrifying abilities in existence, even back in the Primordial Era.

    Bang!

    The both of them moved at the same time. s, right as their attacks were about tond, a figure shed past and snatched the stone away. That person was actually Sakata Chuunibyou!

    Everyone was furious. "Have you gone crazy?" None of them had expected that Sakata Chuunibyou would make a grab for the stone. Due to the scary nature of the stone, none of them coveted it anymore. Shouldn¡¯t everyone be avoiding that stone instead? Why had this Sakata fellow gone and grabbed the stone? What if the two were to fuse? Their hearts chilled; they were unwilling to face the new Sakata after fusing with the stone.

    Sakata Chuunibyou smiled. "Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m not that stupid."

    Shua!

    He stretched his hand out. Only at this did everyone see that although he was holding the stone, there was a thinyer of energy shrouding the stone. That was dimensional godly power!

    Their expressions became unsightly. "For you to still have so much strength left in you."

    Sakata Chuunibyou sneered. "Does the same not apply to all of you? A mere leopard, despite its high realm, it will still be a trash after its godly power was sealed. Killing it will definitely require some effort, but not so much. You guys have secretly preserved so much of your strength." Sakata Chuunibyou stretched his hand out toyingly, showing the stone shrouded by a faint radiance and said, "Is it not for the sake of obtaining this stone?"

    Thomasughed dryly. "Hehe. Why would I even want this stone?"

    "Why else?" Sakata Chuunibyou said with an amused expression. "Although this is an evil item, it is, after all, still the item of a god. If its consciousness is erased, it can still be used. Or perhaps it can also be used to directly awaken a god. I reckon Lord God will be able to deal with the evil being residing within, am I correct?"

    The rest exchanged nces. Instantly, the mood became tense.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    What the hell. This plot seemed rather wrong?

    In his initial n, everyone should have worked together to kill the leopard and destroy the stone before leaving. Perhaps they could even exchange their contact details or something. Perhaps a close friendship could be developed. But now... Indeed, Chen Feng had been too naive in his thinking. He smiled bitterly as he realized this.

    Thomas stopped hiding his intent. "Do you believe that you are actually capable of taking it away? Although we can¡¯t physically touch this thing, if preserved and used as an offering to Lord God, he would most certainly like this gift."

    "Ceh." Sakata Chuunibyou sneered. "Yeah, I will not take it away. Would you dare take it even if I gave it to you?"

    He tossed the stone to Thomas.

    Shua!

    Surprisingly, Thomas avoided the stone immediately, afraid ofing into any sort of contact with it.

    In an unhurried manner, Sakata Chuunibyou recollected the stone. "See. At present, I am the only person capable of holding this thing. Your respective powers are only suited for battle. They are not capable of taking this stone away. Do you all truly believe that this thing will stay here obediently and wait for you guys as you leave and return after fully preparing"

    The godly power of the Sword God swirled around Wu Liang as he said, "What do you propose, then? Since we can¡¯t take it, the only option is to destroy it."

    "What if we split it evenly?" proposed Sakata Chuunibyou.

    "Split?"

    "Yes. Do you guys still remember the forest we passed earlier? There, leaves capable of blocking godly power can be found. We can wrap leaves around the stone after splitting the stone evenly, each of us getting a chunk. What do you guys think of this?" Sakata Chuunibyou proposed unhurriedly.

    The rest exchanged nces. "That¡¯s feasible." Rather than continue fighting here for an uncertain result, they might as well split it evenly. After all, they were merely the first batch of resonators here. If after this, some other resonators reached here, things might get even more chaotic.

    Finally, they decided to split the stone evenly. Chen Feng heaved a sigh of relief, as this development was eptable for him as well. The moment the stone was destroyed and split into five, the consciousness would vanish as well. At that time, the one-fifth of the stone he got would be able to help increase his strength. This could be considered a perfect closure for him as well.

    s, beyond his expectations, at this time, everyone¡¯s gazended on him.

    Chen Feng looked at them curiously. "What¡¯s up?"

    Wealthy Zhao looked at Chen Feng with an odd gaze. "I thought of something. How strong is the power of luck, exactly, for it to be able to seal the godly power of others? Since you are able to seal the power of others, you can naturally seal our powers as well, right?"

    Shua!

    Everyone looked at Chen Feng uniformly. This was the problem they were thinking of as well. Sealing... was an extremely terrifying ability. Why had that leopard died so fast? Because its godly powers had been sealed. Throughout the fight, they hadn¡¯t seen the leopard¡¯s godly power once.

    In this battle, who had yed the crucial role? Chen Feng! His power was way too powerful, so powerful that they were all fearful of him.

    Chen Feng gazed at them all, dumbstruck. "Ah..."

    Hold on... these guys are now all fearful due to me being too strong? Dang, I have been lying all along, okay? The leopard¡¯s godly power was the power of luck. Why else was it able to evolve continuously? It used its godly power to increase its strength! For an ordinary leopard to reach the resonance realm, it was all thanks to godly power, right? This has nothing to do with me! I am truly only lying here! The reason you guys were able to defeat that leopard is that you guys are indeed amazing! For real!

    Suddenly, Chen Feng realized something: he had gone overboard when acting tough!

    What was it that these resonators all prided themselves in? Their godly power! They were capable of borrowing the power of a god!

    At this time, if someone capable of sealing godly powers were to appear, this would be sufficient to rm all of them, even if Chen Feng had not done anything thus far. His previous performance alone was sufficient to cause them all to be on alert.

    Naturally, if he told them the truth now, he would probably suffer a miserable death.

    Chen Feng sank into contemtion. Let me think about it...

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "How is it that easy to seal godly powers? It only worked because the opponent¡¯s power is rted to charm, which has probabilities of sess and failure." He tried to downy the power of luck. "Such a power is countered by the power of luck. That¡¯s all there is to it."

    "All godly powers have a possibility of failure during release, as a mereck of concentration will be sufficient to cause failure. In short, you only need to use your luck power to cause us to stop paying attention, and next, you will be able to seal any godly power you wish to?" Wealthy Zhao said pensively.

    The rest were immediately on high alert.

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "How are things so easy?"

    "Are things really not so easy?" Sakata Chuunibyou had a faint smile. "Yet earlier, despite how powerful that leopard was, you had itpletely sealed..."

    "Yes, to seal it, I exhausted¡ª" Before he could finish his sentence, he stopped.

    "Hehe..."

    At this time, Wu Liang and the rest started smiling.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "So you guys were waiting for me to say this."

    Sakata Chuunibyou gazed at Chen Feng. "That¡¯s right. At the start, everyone was vignt toward each other, not daring to pry into others. Now that the battle has ended, after studying you with my godly power, I noticed that you don¡¯t have any godly power left. Therefore, I suspect that during the earlier battle, all your godly power was exhausted." Sakata Chuunibyou looked at Chen Feng with a proud expression. "Indeed... my guess is correct."

    Chen Feng calmed down. "Therefore... there is no longer any worth for me to further exist?"

    "Your power is way too terrifying..."

    "That major war only erupted during the Primordial Era due to the godly power of luck pushing toward it happening in secret. Otherwise, a war between the gods would not result in both sides being eliminated together... From this, the prowess of the power of luck is apparent. If we can destroy you right now... hehe. The Luck Goddess will appear muchter due to that. Do you understand now?" Sakata Chuunibyou licked his lips.

    The rest looked at Chen Feng with burning gazes.

    "I see." Chen Feng finally understood everything.

    First, they would be able to obtain a bigger share after killing him.

    Second, his ability to seal powers truly frightened them.

    Third, he had seemingly exhausted all his godly power during the battle earlier.

    Fourth, due to the events of the past Primordial Era, they were all rather fearful of the godly power of luck.

    Fifth, they wanted to dy the appearance of the Luck Goddess.

    ...

    Each of these reasons to kill Chen Feng were rather weak, but when all five werebined, killing Chen Feng became a must. Therefore, these old foxes had decided to act on it with no hesitation.

    Chapter 699: Bro, Do You Know What Thirty Thousand Luck Value Can Do?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng stared at them nkly. "Earlier, when killing that leopard, I put forth great effort. "Shouldn¡¯t someone like me, who unconditionally works with everyone, be a well-liked person?"

    Thomas smiled cruelly. "Sorry. Your threat level is much higher."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Is that so..." He checked the luck value he had within his body. Thirty thousand luck value, a rather terrifying amount. If it was any other day, he would be iparably excited by this. s, he was presently facing four resonators. He did not have the confidence to escape them.

    Sakata Chuunibyou spoke faintly. "I already have the surroundings blocked with a dimensional barrier. Do you know that I really, really like this name of mine? Because of it, a lot of people will take me lightly. What an amusing experience..." Sakata Chuunibyou smiled toyingly.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    I miscalcted.

    "Spirit, have I been too arrogant?" Chen Feng asked inwardly.

    Spirit shook her tiny head. "No. To even have reached this point, you are already amazing enough. Even now, none of them realize that you are a mere awakened one."

    "True..."

    Chen Feng felt helpless. If he was truly a resonator of the godly power of luck, would he still need to waste his time talking so much with them? Unfortunately, his true realm was the awakened realm. Chen Feng started assessing his present luck value, thinking of using it to kill a way out of this.

    Wu Liang gave Chen Feng a nce and spoke. "Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t give you any chances. Hehe. I have also set up a barrier with the godly power of the sword. Any chance of a loophole appearing no longer exists. This ce is already thoroughly locked down by us."

    They all eyed Chen Feng and slowly approached him. Evidently, they were still afraid that Chen Feng still had some trump cards hidden. They didn¡¯t dare to advance too hastily.

    Chen Feng gave them all a serene nce. "..."

    Truly no other choices? Well then...

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. He did not know about resonance, nor did he know about the godly power of luck. However, what he knew was the fact that if the 30,000 luck value he had was fully activated, it would be sufficient to destroy heaven and earth.

    "Thirty thousand..." Chen Feng mumbled. If he activated it all with his full power...

    Gazing at them, Chen Feng suddenlyughed. "Do you guys want to know the terror of luck?"

    "Mhm?"

    Thomas and the rest were instantly on guard.

    "You guys have blockaded the surroundings. I indeed have no means of escaping. However..." Chen Feng gazed at the sky, stretched both his hands wide, as if he was about to hug someone. "You all have still underestimated the power of luck."

    Bang!

    Suddenly, the clear sky turned blood red.

    "???!"

    They all looked at the sky in horror. There, somewhere outside of their blockade, an immense spatial current appeared. Chen Feng was unable to leave. He was indeed trapped here. However...

    Bang!

    Beyond that spatial current was actually the boundless outer space! Aet zing with a red radiance was present charging directly at them. It tore the blue dome of heaven apart. It tore space apart, passing through the spatial current, descending upon this.

    "!!!"

    Their expressions changed greatly.

    "You have gone crazy!"

    Fear appeared on the faces of Thomas and the rest. Screw the Luck Goddess. What damnable strength was this?

    "You will die doing this!" Sakata Chuunibyou said in rm.

    "It does not matter. This way, we can all die together, right?" Chen Feng had an expression of tranquility, seeminglypletely epting his death.

    "Shit!" Wu Liang cursed. Without a doubt, if thatet were to descend upon this, it would most certainlynd right here, nowhere else. For users of the godly power of luck, this was something extremely basic.

    Fear appeared on Wealthy Zhao¡¯s normally calm expression as well. "No!"

    Sakata Chuunibyou was panicking. "Chen Feng, stop it. We will not attack you anymore."

    "It is already toote. Hahahaha!" Chen Feng started howling withughter. "Die together with me! Hahahahaha!"

    Their expressions sank. "Madman!"

    "Leave!"

    Without hesitation, they decided to leave. Just as Sakata Chuunibyou was about to leave, he found with astonishment that theet¡¯s direction was in fact...

    He inhaled deeply. "The coordinates you have theet locked on is in fact this stone?"

    Chen Fengughed nastily. "What else? Do you think I will allow you guys to escape smoothly?"

    "Madman!"

    Sakata Chuunibyou tossed the stone away before leaving hastily.

    Shua! Shua! Shua!

    The rest left speedily as well.

    Chen Feng continued muttering, "Run! Run! Look at thiset... so big and round... Look at the trail it is leaving behind... so long and wide... How far will you guys be able to escape?"

    Chen Feng continuedughing wildly in a deranged manner.

    Sakata Chuunibyou and the others allpletely ignored him, thinking of nothing but escaping. All their godly powers were pushed to the limit, trying to escape as fast as they could. Thatet... and the radiance surrounding it... That was clearly not an ordinaryet. The moment itnded here, everything within a circumference of 500 kilometers would be destroyed. As such, they had to escape! Even if they couldn¡¯t escape in time, they should at least try to distance themselves from the center of the impact to reduce the damage they might suffer.

    "Madman!"

    "Those with the power of luck are all lunatics!"

    They all cursed in rage.

    "Damn it. That bitch Luck Goddess did the same thing back then. Seeing as she was about to die, she dragged all the gods down with her, but she still had the guts to im that she was actually sacrificing herself for the sake of all life."

    "Slut!"

    Bang!

    Up in the sky, the red radiance was still as dazzling as ever, an omen of theing apocalypse.

    Run! Run! Run!

    They all fled frantically.

    Pu!

    Wu Liang coughed up a mouthful of blood, then stepped on his sword and fled with a speed several times faster than his previous speed.

    Pu!

    Simrly, Thomas coughed up a mouthful of blood, then applied his godly power to his hatchet and, after giving Wu Liang a nce, rode on his hatchet as he fled, also at a much higher speed. At times like this, nobody would be bothered with whether their actions were embarrassing or not.

    Shua! Shua!

    As for Sakata Chuunibyou, he teleported forth without stop, exhausting his dimensional power. As for Wealthy Zhao, with a vicious expression, he ignited his wealth without stop. For him, wealth was the equivalent of strength, as he was capable of transforming wealth into true strength. Therefore, he rather treasured his wealth. His wealth was in fact not lower than the Stormtech Company¡¯s.

    But now... he had no choice but to ignite frantically ignite his wealth.

    Run! Run!

    The group of them fled while cursing Chen Feng. At the supposed point of impact for theing apocalypse, Chen Feng was stillughing wildly as he looked at theing apocalypse.

    Bang!

    The sky turned blood red. Finally, it seemed like thatet with a terrifying radiance around it was about to descend upon this world. The apocalypse was imminent. At this instant, countless people worldwide were also focusing on this seeminging apocalypse.

    And next...

    Shua!

    The sky turned sunny and cloudless again. Instantly, all of the blood-red radiance vanished from the sky.

    Theet was gone.

    The blood-red hue was gone.

    The spatial current was gone.

    All the phenomena were gone.

    "..." Chen Feng gave the sky a deep gaze before looking at hispletely empty supply of luck value and sighing. "Damn it. 30,000 luck value, yet I was only able to catch a glimpse of it?"

    That¡¯s right. His luck value had been fully exhausted. How was it possible for a mere 30,000 luck value to actually create an apocalypse? The only thing it had been able to aplish was allow them all to glimpse the sight of what the apocalypse would look like. What else could one wish for with this amount of luck value?

    Huh¡ª

    Chen Feng let loose a long breath. He had originally believed that if, after scaring them away, he still had luck value remaining, he could stop the apocalypse. Now that he looked at it, it seemed like he had truly been too wishful.

    At present, Thomas and the others that had escaped were thoroughly dumbfounded. Even if they were already so far away that they could no longer see the scene there with their naked eyes, they could still sense what was going on there.

    Apocalypse, gone? Just like that? How was that possible? The scene earlier... Thatet...

    F*ck!

    Suddenly, they realized what was happening. Could it be that they had all been tricked?

    Wu Liang was stupefied.

    Thomas was stupefied.

    Wealthy Zhao was stupefied.

    Sakata Chuunibyou looked like he was copsing emotionally. Where was the promised mutual annihtion? Where was the promised madman?

    "Screw you, Chen Feng!!!"

    Numerous mournful howls resounded throughout the air. For the sake of fleeing, nearly all their power had been exhausted, to the point that they had even coughed up their blood essence to hasten their escapes. What if they did the same and rushed back there by coughing up some blood essence? It would be funny if this even worked.

    "Ah ah ah ah..."

    They were all furious. They knew that they had been thoroughly tricked this time.

    "Godly power of luck..."

    "Chen Feng..."

    They gnashed their teeth in anger, vowing that the next time they saw this Chen Feng, they would turn him into mincemeat!

    "The primordial has descended... We have plenty of time, Chen Feng. We shall meet again!" Thomas spat hatefully.

    At this time, Chen Feng was at the center of theke, gathering the leaves that were said to be able to iste godly powers. After wrapping that stone with the leaves, he fled hastily. Way too many things had happened here. As such, he did not dare to stay here any longer. Right after he left, numerous godly powers swirled around before appearing there.

    "Luckily I escaped fast enough," he muttered as he speedily left after throwing onest nce behind him.

    Bang! Bang!

    Numerous powerful auras appeared, and their powerful consciousnesses crossed each other in the air.

    "Is this the center of the earlier apocalypse?"

    "..."

    "I can feel some resonator auras here..."

    "Hehe, were they trying to destroy the world?"

    A powerful consciousness projected forth this thought: "It has only been so soon after I reawakened, yet I have already had such a close call with death unknowingly? Screw that. We must look for those bastards and kill them. We can¡¯t allow them to act recklessly."

    Not everyone here necessarily knew each other. However, this did not stop them from reaching a consensus that this world could not be allowed to be destroyed. After experiencing the tragedy during the Primordial Era where the battle of the gods had affected even them, causing them to die tragically for no apparent reason, they now treasured their lives greatly. With great difficulty, they were finally alive again, yet they had had such a close brush with death so soon after their reawakening?

    "Understood. Let me look for the auras of those fellows."

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance swirled past as a powerful godly aura surged.

    "Mhm... found them. Powers of five gods were found here... the War God, Sword God, Prosperity God, and Dimensional Goddess. There is also another rather faint aura, kind of simr to the aura of the Luck Goddess. On this corpse, traces of the godly power of luck can be felt. I suppose the resonator of the Luck Goddess is already dead. Therefore, those four should be the ones who attempted to create the apocalypse earlier."

    "Splendid."

    The killing intent of other resonators surged.

    "The moment we find them... kill without mercy! We must not allow them to destroy this world!"

    "That is only natural."

    Everyone understood what they had to do. All of them started using their respective methods to search for traces of Thomas and the other three. Evidently, they had no intention of letting these "lunatics who tried to destroy the world" off lightly.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The powerful auras unique to resonators swept around. Even Chen Feng, who had initially been in the midst of fleeing, no longer dared to move. These people were way too strong. When the resonators worked together, their mere consciousness sweeping around was sufficient to nt intense fear in one¡¯s heart. Chen Feng concealed his aura and hid in the nearby forest. This forest was densely popted by wild animals, and those resonators were presently looking for godly powers. As such, their senses merely momentarily stopped on Chen Feng before moving on.

    Shua! Shua!

    The terrifying auras swirled around and increased their search radius without stop. After a long time...

    "Found them! War God, Sword God... heh, all four of them have been found."

    "Kill them!"

    Shua! Shua!

    Numerous consciousnesses locked on to the four. Finally, the main bodies of these resonators moved as well, charging toward the four. At present, Thomas and the others, who had just finished a hasty retreat, were thoroughly stupefied. What... what in the world was going on now?

    They could clearly feel themselves being locked on to by numerous auras. Thomas could even see with his naked eyes that, in the distance, a resonator was charging toward him. He wanted to ask this bro what was going on, but when this bro neared, an intense killing intent surged.

    "The f*ck?" Thomas turned around and immediately fled. He presently didn¡¯t have much godly power left. He was definitely not these people¡¯s opponent. Simrly, Wu Liang, Wealthy Zhao, and Sakata Chuunibyou faced the same situation with strangers chasing after them for no apparent reason.

    What was going on?

    What happened?

    Weren¡¯t resonators normally lone rangers? Why were they all working together? Could these fellows actually be members of the Gic Union? But the Gic Union clearly did not boast any resonators in their ranks, right? They werepletely bewildered. They had no idea what was going on. Fleeing was the only thing they could do.

    After fleeing for an entire day, finally, from the conversations of those consciousnesses, they figured out that these resonators had gathered together due to the earlier apocalypse. They all were of the opinion that Thomas and the other three were the lunatics of some heretical organization. Thus, the consciousnesses were working together to eliminate them four.

    Thomas: "???"

    What heretical organization? They should be hunting that Chen Feng fellow, right? And thus, Thomas, who finally found an opening, transmitted an intense thought to those consciousnesses, telling them who the real enemy was: Chen Feng, the user of the godly power of luck!

    s, the only response he received was mockery.

    "Hehe. The only trace of the godly power of luck we found was on that leopard, which was obviously killed by you guys. No other resonators of luck exist."

    A certain resonator sneered. "Such a stupid exnation. Do you guys think that you can escape with this?"

    Wu Liang did not dare to believe this. "No, that¡¯s not possible. Chen Feng is clearly the culprit."

    A resonator sneered. "Ridiculous. Do you think the results of so many resonators¡¯ investigations can be wrong?"

    If this was only one resonator, there would be a possibility of a mistake. However, with the repeated inspection of so many resonators, they had confirmed that the only source of the godly power of luck there was that dead leopard. These four were most certainly lying.

    Ah?

    At this, Thomas and the others were thoroughly stunned. No others were found? What about Chen Feng? Hold on, since when had the leopard used the godly power of luck? But there was no reason for this many resonators to lie to them!

    But then, Chen Feng was obviously the one who had used the godly power of luck earlier? Thomas and the rest werepletely bewildered. Could it have been an illusion? They started doubting their eyes. What in the world was going on?

    Bang!

    Once again, the resonators¡¯ attacks descended. Thomas clenched his teeth and continued his escape. They knew that regardless of what happened there, this me for trying to cause apocalypse would without a doubtnd upon them.

    Curse it!

    At present, with Thomas and the rest shouldering the me, the nonresonator Chen Feng was able to speedily flee the chaotic area without being noticed.

    "There is still an advantage to not having any godly power, hehe..."

    Chen Feng was pleased. What those resonators were looking for was godly power. As for Chen Feng, amoner without godly power, he appeared the same as those wild animals whenever those resonators scanned his area. As such, it was natural that they allpletely neglected him.

    "I have profited greatly this time."

    Chen Feng looked at the tightly wrapped stone as his heart thumped wildly. With this tone... hehe...

    After returning, he would have to find a way to erase the consciousness within this stone. Just by extracting the power of luck contained within, he would no longerck luck value in the future. Thirty thousand? Perhaps he could even get thirty million luck value in the future.

    Hu¡ª

    He took in a deep breath and first returned to the Gic Union and entered a training room. Then he carefully took out the wrapped stone, which was glowing faintly.

    Finally... obtained.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The stone was glowing with a mysterious radiance.

    "Spirit. What is this fellow¡¯s condition?" Chen Feng asked.

    Spirit momentarily cast out her senses, then answered, "Half dead. We can use some gene reagents or other items to temporarily block it out so we can extract the luck value within."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "Excellent."

    Extracting luck value... Hehe... He had been waiting for this for way too long. But before that...

    "Spirit,e."

    "Huh?"

    "Let us do something interesting."

    "Huh?"

    "Well, the reason for this is to temper your consciousness."

    "Huh?"

    "To allow you to control even greater strength."

    "Oh."

    Spirit couldn¡¯t quite understand what Chen Feng was getting at. Just like that, half a month passed quietly.

    During this half month, Chen Feng helped Spirit temper her consciousness before producing a gene reagent capable of sealing the stone¡¯s consciousness.

    "Let us begin."

    Chen Feng let out a long breath. A huge number of translucent ice-blue gene reagents were gathered, and the stone was soaked in them. The stone emanated with a gold radiance without stop, giving off quite a wondrous scene as the gold interwove with blue.

    Bang!

    One of his hands pressed onto the stone, with the blue liquid in between.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Numerous rays of light shot out.

    The consciousness of the stone spoke in horror. "You dare?"

    "Hmph!"

    Spirit snorted and suppressed the stone¡¯s consciousness. After the previous battle where the stone had been weakened several times by the resonators, it didn¡¯t have much strength remaining.

    Swish!

    Soon, the luck value within Chen Feng started transforming.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled. "Here ites!" He knew that he did not need skin-to-skin contact with this stone. Previously, the mere act of approaching this stone had lifted the deactivated state of his Luck Aura. As such, this time, he only needed to be near this stone to be able to absorb its power. His guess was indeed correct.

    Having skin contact with this stone posed too great of a threat. As such, doing things this way was the perfect choice. The stone struggled as it glowed without stop, but it was unable to do anything thanks to the blue liquid. At the same time, its consciousness was suppressed by Spirit. It was unable to budge and could only watch on nkly as its luck value dropped.

    One point...

    Two points...

    Three points...

    ...

    The absorption of luck value progressed slowly. Chen Feng merely waited on silently, waiting for his luck value to increase in amount. Soon, after the initial hardship passed, Chen Feng started trying to use his own power of luck for the absorption. The moment he activated his Luck Aura...

    Swish!

    The amount of luck power he was absorbing increased dramatically.

    Ten points!

    A hundred points!

    A thousand points!

    ...

    A terrifying amount of luck power surged into Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    "It¡¯s here."

    Chen Feng was overwhelmed with emotions. He knew that the greatest upgrade he had ever experienced thus far wasing.

    Bang! Bang!

    His luck value soared.

    A thousand points was merely the beginning. As luck value entered his body without stop, he reached 10,000 points, 100,000 points, 200,000 points, 300,000 points... The luck value within Chen Feng¡¯s body surged dramatically.

    Bang! Bang!

    A terrifying power converged within him.

    Chen Feng was shocked. "How powerful." Finally, his luck value surpassed one million points, reaching a rather terrifying height. s, rmingly, even at this level, luck value still endlessly surged out from that stone at a terrifying speed.

    One million.

    Two million.

    Three million.

    ...

    "Mhm?"

    Chen Feng was startled. Could it be that his initial guess waspletely correct? This stone contained more than 10 million points of luck value? Soon, his guess was confirmed. In a short period of time, his luck value surpassed ten million points. Even so, his luck value was still increasing.

    "There¡¯s more?"

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. How much luck value did this stone contain, exactly?

    Ten million? No, he had already surpassed 10 million, yet he was still growing. From the momentum, there were no signs of it stopping anytime soon...

    Bang! Bang!

    His luck value surged. Chen Feng tried activating his Luck Aura once again. With the present luck value he had, the activation of Luck Aura was an extremely terrifying act.

    Bang!

    Suddenly, the speed of absorption went through another sharp increase. Shortly after, he started absorbing tens of millions of luck value in one go.

    Ten million points.

    Twenty million points.

    Thirty million points.

    ...

    This...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes widened.

    With an expression of disbelief, he watched on as his luck value surged. In a short period of time, it reached a brand new height: One hundred million points!

    For the very first time, his luck value had reached a hundred million. And yet... his luck value was still growing.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng sensed something wrong. "I have a bad feeling."

    A hundred million? If this stone truly possessed so much luck value, it would definitely not have been so weak! Chen Feng had first deduced that this stone would possess around ten million luck value based on its prowess and the might of that leopard. But now... a hundred million? If this stone was truly ten times more powerful than that, why had it not disyed its strength?

    Shua!

    Instinctively, Chen Feng tried stopping the absorption. s... he found that he could no longer stop it.

    His expression sank. "What¡¯s going on?"

    "Spirit, stop it!" Chen Feng roared inwardly.

    Spirit¡¯s expression sank as well. "I... it is no longer listening to me."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. "What?" It was not listening to Spirit? How was that possible? One ought to know that the only feature Luck Aura had gained after its previous upgrade was granting Spirit the ability to independently control it.

    "Let me try sensing it." Spirit smiled bitterly. "At present... looks like it is once again the time for luck to sh against luck." The stone was obviously using its power of luck at this moment as well.

    Chen Feng clenched his teeth. "Bring it on, then."

    Bang!

    For the first time, he put his greater than one hundred million luck value to work.

    Bang! Bang!

    He could feel the terrifying amount of luck value being put to work. s, rmingly, even with so much luck value, things were still not changing. He was still absorbing luck value!

    His eyes widened. "What¡¯s going on?"

    Suddenly, Spirit¡¯s expression became odd. "There... There..."

    Chen Feng was greatly startled as well. "This is..."

    He did not need Spirit to tell him about it, as he himself had felt it as well. Before him, for the very first time, the stone fully unleashed its power of luck. That terrifying power... If this one hundred million luck value Chen Feng had was a pebble, then what this stone was unleashing at the moment was a huge mountain! The power within...

    Bang!

    The terrifying power of luck flooded Chen Feng.

    "How... is... this possible?"

    Chen Feng did not dare to believe this. The power contained within this fellow surpassed even tens of billions? This...

    If that was the case, why had it been so miserable previously? Right at this instant, the consciousness within the stone appeared once again. Easily, it broke free of Spirit¡¯s suppression and transmitted an extremely clear thought to Chen Feng.

    "Hehe. Chen Feng... I told you, you are the chosen seed of heaven!"

 Chapter 702: The Power of a God

    Chapter 702: The Power of a God

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes widened. "You can talk?" This was extremely shocking to him. He had never expected that this consciousness, which had been hiding within the stone all this while and had required Spirit to sense its thought process, was actually capable ofmunicating directly with a human.

    The mysterious consciousnessughed and said, "That is only natural. With the descent of the primordial, it is natural that my consciousness was born."

    Chen Feng was speechless. It could talk... Although this "talking" was, to be precise, thought transmission. However...

    Chen Feng sighed deeply. "Why did you not talk previously when they attacked you?"

    The mysterious consciousness exined, "I told you; you are the chosen seed of heaven. How can I help others? All along, you are the only one I will help, regardless of it being now or the future."

    Shua!

    A boundless power surged out of the stone. Instantly, the power of luck within Chen Feng¡¯s body surged, reaching an even higher level in the billions, and it was still growing,pletely unstoppable.

    Bang! Bang!

    His luck value jumped up without stop.

    Two billion!

    Three billion!

    Four billion!

    ...

    Ten billion!

    Twenty billion!

    Thirty billion!

    ...

    A hundred billion!

    Two hundred billion!

    Three hundred billion!

    ...

    Chen Feng had an ominous feeling. Compared to this surging power, his own strength was so very minute. Rather than the power of a resonator, this was in actuality the power of gods.

    Bang! Bang!

    The godly power surged. Chen Feng felt the horror of this power and suddenly had an odd feeling, a feeling telling him that with this, he could do whatever he wished to, no matter what.

    For example, destroying the world?

    Chen Feng nced around and was certain that he was capable of that. With thirty thousand luck value, he had been able to create the omens of an apocalypse. Now, with several hundred million luck value, he should truly be able to destroy this world. After all,pared to the wide universe, this was still so very tiny.

    Oh, right, where had theet he had summoned earlier gone to? After all, that had been no false illusion. Rather, that had been a trueet, but it hadn¡¯t reached this because he hadn¡¯t had sufficient power to make that happen. Where theet had gone subsequently remained unknown. However, Chen Feng did not continue dwelling on this, as he found that the luck value in his body was still increasing.

    Still growing...

    Chen Feng no longer bothered keeping up with how much luck value he had, as he was sure that it had already reached a terrifying number. The only word he could use to describe the amount of luck value he had presently was "endless."

    What he was somewhat worried about was Spirit, this girl.

    "Spirit?" he tried asking for her.

    "Here," Spirit answered nkly.

    "Are you fine?" Chen Feng asked. He was worried about Spirit, as based on what they had guessed, after the invasion of this stone, Spirit might be destroyed, leaving behind purely its own power.

    Spirit had an odd feeling as well. "I¡¯m fine. I am perfectly fine. Moreover, this luck..." Spirit waved her tiny hand. "I can control it as well."

    She was puzzled. The two exchanged nces, and they had an odd feeling. They could actually control this power?

    Chen Feng was shocked. This... "In other words, this newly gained luck value is all ours?"

    Spirit was utterly confused. "Have we misunderstood the stone?"

    In short, this adorable stone was truly earnestly treating Chen Feng as the chosen seed of heaven and was sincerely trying to help increase his strength? Had he been misunderstanding the stone all along?

    No, that did not seem likely. But then, why were they able to control the newly gained power?

    Bang! Bang!

    Once again, his luck value increased. Chen Feng tried sensing this new level of power and found that this time, he was no longer able to control it. The reason for this wasn¡¯t because he did not have the authority to control it. Rather, it was because this power was too huge for him to be able to control, giving him a feeling like he was less capable than desirable.

    He looked at Spirit. "How about you?"

    Spirit shook her head. "I am still able to control it. Regardless of how much it increases, I seem able to always control it."

    Chen Feng was filled with doubt. "That means that the control is still under our hands."

    Spirit nodded her head firmly. "Mhm."

    At this time, finally, the increase in his luck value slowed down, slowly decreasing from an increase of tens of billions to an increase of billions to an increase hundreds of millions...

    Slowly, the luck value within Chen Feng calmed down.

    Chen Feng was sure. "The stone seems to finally be out of energy."

    Spirit knew what Chen Feng wanted to ask. "I can still control the power." She waved her hand to demonstrate it. Godly power instantly swirled around her hand. The two were utterly confused. This was an incredibly odd feeling. Luck value was without a doubt one of the most terrifying powers in existence. If the stone had activated this with its full power, Chen Feng would definitely have been helpless. After all, that was truly quite an astonishing amount.

    However, the stone had not done so. Rather, it had handed over all its power to Chen Feng. Why?

    Hum¡ª

    Slowly, the surging godly power faded. Along with the final wisp of godly power, the mysterious consciousness traveled into Chen Feng¡¯s body as well. It did not have any power, nor did it have any authority over his power. This was nothing but a consciousness. What exactly was this fellow nning?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. This was way too weird.

    "Spirit, try getting him under control," Chen Feng said.

    Spirit nodded. "Understood."

    Shua! Shua!

    The stone dissipated away as the mysterious consciousness traveled into Chen Feng¡¯s body. The instant it arrived in Chen Feng¡¯s illusory world, numerous rays of light shot at it, and it was instantly contained by Spirit. This was a clump of consciousness, hovering midair. It had yet to assume any sort of form.

    A clear thought was transmitted out of the stone. "We... finally meet again."

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze became cold. "Who are you?"

    The mysterious consciousness had a faint smile. "Is handing over all my luck value still not sufficient to disy my sincerity, dear chosen seed of heaven?"

    "..." Chen Feng suppressed the uneasiness he was feeling. "Do you know that what I hate most are those tricksters? Regardless of whether you are sincere in helping me or not, tell me your true goal. Otherwise... I will kill you right this moment!" Chen Feng spoke solemnly, his killing intent raging, proving that he wasn¡¯t joking around.

    The mysterious consciousnessughed. "Tsk tsk... trulypletely ungrateful."

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    That clump of consciousness hovering therezily and slowly started assuming a form.

    Chen Feng and Spirit weren¡¯t surprised at this. Since this stone was so powerful, it was most certainly capable of something as basic as assuming a form. However, when the form it was assuming became clear to them...

    Chen Feng and Spirit werepletely startled. That was because this was exactly the same appearance as Spirit.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "You are courting death!" This fellow was deliberately imitating the appearance of Spirit...

    The mysterious consciousness smiled toyingly. "This is what my main body looks like."

    Chen Feng shook his head. "How is that possible?" Spirit¡¯s appearance and name had bothe into existence after his discussion with Spirit when she had first appeared back then. Thus, how could it bepletely the same as this stone¡¯s original appearance?

    "Indeed, the final look only came into existence after you two discussed it back then. However..." The mysterious consciousness smiled. "Are you sure that it wasn¡¯tpletely affected by the subconsciousness of Spirit?"

    Spirit was bewildered. "What do you mean?"

    The mysterious consciousness chuckled. "Do you still not understand?" Slowly, she walked toward Spirit.

    Chen Feng¡¯s powerful consciousness descended. "Scram!" As the master of this illusory world, he tried forcefully stopping the advance of the mysterious consciousness. rmingly, that mysterious consciousness was actually capable of ignoring Chen Feng, even in this world where Chen Feng was the master. Around the mysterious consciousness, the godly power of luck started swirling.

    Spirit¡¯s eyes widened. "How is this possible?" All the godly power of luck here should be fully under her and Chen Feng¡¯s control, as they hadpletely transferred ownership. Why was this fellow able to utilize it?

    The mysterious consciousness looked at Spirit in pity. "Do you still not understand? Because...you are me!" Finishing her words, her finger pointed at Spirit¡¯s forehead.

    Bang!

    Instantly, a terrifying power engulfed them both. At this moment, all the power of luck within Chen Feng was activated. That boundless radiance and power surrounded both the mysterious consciousness and Spirit. There, twopletely identical people stood, surrounded by apletely identical power. That power surrounding them... was the power unique to the gods!

    Chapter 703: Damnable Chen Feng

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In the Gic Union, the sudden terrifying radiance erupting from the training room attracted lots of attention. This radiance even attracted countless resonators, and their auras swept past this area.

    "What is that?"

    "Holy shit, this level of strength..."

    "Damn it, have the resonators be so powerful that the gods have awakened in advance?"

    "Gods? Could it be..."

    Countless people were rmed. Everyone was aware that as resonators appeared, the usage of godly powers would increase in frequency. This would sooner orter start awakening the gods. However, they had never expected that this day woulde this fast.

    How long had it been? They all wished that they were mistaken, yet that surging godly power... No ordinary person could create something like that, only the gods.

    "The world will fall into chaos."

    Everyone sighed.

    Everyone focused their attention on that aura. Perhaps they were unable to stop the awakening of the gods. However, they should still keep themselves informed. At this moment, countless eyes were focused on the Gic Union.

    ...

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    The deputy president was extremely agitated. Why did this Chen Feng create a mess every time he returned here? It hadn¡¯t even been that long since he¡¯d entered that room, yet the attention of countless resonators had already been attracted. Those auras that had been sweeping by... Although those resonators had yet to fully recover their strength, they were still terrifying enough to cause his heart to flutter.

    His underling appeared to be at a loss. "N... no idea."

    "Is Chen Feng fine?" the deputy president asked urgently.

    "His life signal is still extremely stable, even stronger than before, if I must say. Although we do not yet have much understanding of awakened ones and resonators, it is quite possible that Chen Feng is breaking through," the underling guessed.

    The deputy president heaved a sigh of relief. "That would be good." He could only watch on as that terrifying aura bloomed, hoping that everything would be fine.

    At this time, the simrly shocked Chen Feng was looking at the two identical people there, looking on as godly power started swirling around the two before transforming without stop. He could feel the entirety of his power starting to go out of his control.

    No, that wasn¡¯t right.

    To be precise, only the power rted to luck and Luck Aura were going out of control.

    Shua! Shua!

    His luck power transformed, ultimately changing into godly power and swirling around beside Spirit.

    This...

    If he did not understand even now, he would be a fool. Even way earlier, he had made a simr guess about Spirit¡¯s identity. However, he had never expected that the truth was in fact much more shocking than he had imagined.

    Indeed, his guess was correct. It was no wonder that...

    At this moment, all his doubts were cleared.

    The mysterious consciousness spoke calmly. "During that primordial battle, all the gods fell. As for my power, I entrusted it to the fate stone. However, due to that battle being too desperate back then, the fate stone was separated into two. One fell asleep together with me, while the other wandered around the universe together with my spirit essence."

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "In short... that fate stone I fused with..."

    "That¡¯s right." The mysterious consciousness tranquilly exined, "It wandered about the various worlds for a long time. After it was formally activated, it brought you straight to this world, the world it belongs to. This is also the reason for your transmigration. As for the so-called Luck Aura upgrades... That was merely the processes of me recovering my spirit. During the first upgrade, my spiritual body recovered. That was when Spirit awoke. As for the second upgrade... it granted my spirit body true authority over the godly power of luck. Therefore, I came."

    Chen Feng shut both his eyes. Indeed. So this was the truth. This mysterious consciousness, or to be more precise, this person here was the Luck Goddess!

    Spirit¡¯s eyes widened. "I... am your spirit?"

    "Naturally," the mysterious consciousness said with a smile. "Perhaps you have some negative opinion of me. However, it does not matter. When you recover your memory, you can fuse with me..."

    Shua!

    She pointed midair. Instantly, Spirit¡¯s big eyes became nk, and her pupils started glowing with a flickering radiance.

    Hum¡ª

    Once again, a terrifying radiance swirled around her. Her memory started recovering.

    "Awaken," the Luck Goddess muttered.

    What exactly was a spirit? In fact, the spirit was one with the god.

    When the spirit encountered the main body, the only course of action was to fuse. As such, there would be no conflicts, as the two were one in the first ce. The spirit was the main body and the main body was the spirit.

    Chen Feng clenched his fists tightly. "Spirit..."

    Luck Goddess looked at Chen Feng indifferently and said, "You should be content with this. You are but mere dust amid the myriad living beings. Due to me, you reached your present height. With your present aplishments, your life has not been wasted. Unfortunately, I am sorry to inform you that you know way too much about luck. As such, I will have to erase you after this."

    Evidently, the moment she finished the fusion would also be the moment of Chen Feng¡¯s death.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance bloomed. Soon, her fusion with Spirit would bepleted. When Spirit once again opened her eyes, those nk eyes were once again filled with life. With the godly radiance shining upon her, she started syncing with the Luck Goddess. Slowly, the two bodies ovepped, transforming into one. The Luck Goddess was Spirit and Spirit was the Luck Goddess.

    "Goodbye."

    The Luck Goddess finished the fusion and instinctively waved her hand to erase Chen Feng. Next, with astonishment, she found that no matter what, she couldn¡¯t bring herself to do it. Her pupils shrunk, suddenly recalling the special training session previously, the special training session Chen Feng had held to temper Spirit¡¯s consciousness.

    "You..."

    She had actually spent half a month in a little ck room for that special training session.

    "Master, what are we doing?"

    "Special training."

    "But... this is so embarrassing..."

    "Only this way will it be effective. Do not forget how a certain someone betrayed me not too long ago."

    "Sigh, I am so so sorry."

    "Don¡¯t worry about it. I don¡¯t mind. However, to ensure that your willpower is even stronger, we must employ such a training method. You have to work hard, okay?"

    In her maid attire, Spirit raised her tiny fist resolutely. "Mhm!"

    "Who is your master?"

    "Chen Feng!"

    "Who do you serve?"

    "Chen Feng! Hey, no. Using the word serve is way too embarrassing."

    "Have you been thinking those dirty thoughts again?"

    "No way!"

    "Are you sure?"

    "Yes! Hmph!"

    ...

    If this had been any other day, Chen Feng would have used Wang Yao to stop Spirit¡¯s feelings from growing unchecked. But he had made an exception, allowing such a perverse form of affection to grow.

    One time, two times, three times...

    Time flowed differently in the illusory world. If even in the real world half a month had passed, how much time had passed in the illusory world?

    One year?

    Two years?

    It would remain a mystery.

    Only Chen Feng knew how long they had spent growing their affection, and only Spirit knew what she had experienced during that period. For the somewhat innocent Spirit, that period of time was also her happiest period ever. Even after her fusion with the goddess, even now... that fact remained.

    "You..."

    A terrifying godly power swirled around the Luck Goddess¡¯s hand, yet she truly couldn¡¯t bring herself to kill Chen Feng. Spirit¡¯s experiences were in a way her very own experiences. There was no such thing as a separate consciousness. When her true body waspleted, only one remained. Everything that had happened to Spirit had happened to her as well. This experience for her was like an experience of the past, an experience after the loss of her memory.

    This damnable Chen Feng...

 Chapter 704: Sorry, My Dearest Master

    Chapter 704: Sorry, My Dearest Master

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The Luck Goddess inhaled deeply as she said, "You have long seen through my identity."

    "I did have some guesses," Chen Feng exined calmly. "I merely thought of that as a possibility."

    The Luck Goddess was furious. "And thus, you have exploited me?"

    Chen Feng shook his head. "No. Spirit is different than you. She is pure at heart, one truly worthy of the title of ¡¯goddess.¡¯ As for you... who knows what you are. In any case, the believers of the Sword God and War God imed that you¡¯re a bitch." Chen Feng curled his lips.

    Luck Goddess: "..." She inhaled deeply. "I am Spirit! Spirit is my true name. As for the spirit body...forget it. For youmoners who will forever only know to worship gods high on a pedestal, you guys will never be able to understand us gods. In any case, we are not clones, or perhaps two different consciousnesses as per your understanding. We have always been one," the Luck Goddess said.

    Chen Feng merely replied with a sneer. "Hehe."

    "Your brainwashing method is indeed rather formidable. I know of what you did. I want to kill you, yet I can¡¯t bring myself to do it, as if you are an extremely important person to me." The Luck Goddess shut both her eyes. This bizarre feeling she was feeling was causing her extreme difort. Hidden with this mess of an emotion was also a trace of joy? This damnable Chen Feng...

    She knew that regardless of what happened in the future, she would not be able to change the past, change what she had experienced with Chen Feng. Even if she was clear that Chen Feng was exploiting her, brainwashing her, she still looked for an excuse to forgive him. How... lowly!

    She heaved out a long sigh.

    Hu¡ª

    Suddenly, she started muttering to herself. "I am Spirit. Spirit is me. Although I have indeed experienced all that, and I can also forgive you for that, as a god, I cannot allow my sanctity to be sullied. I am a god! I am one of the strongest gods of the Primordial Era! I have my own destiny!"

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance swirled around. Chen Feng was somewhat startled as he saw this. The way this was progressing... did not seem right?

    The Luck Goddess kept muttering the same words to herself.

    The bizarre godly power boiled before starting to flicker and, finally, with a loud boom, everything returned to normal again.

    "Hello, Chen Feng." The Luck Goddess opened her eyes once again. They were bright yet detached.

    "Just now..." Chen Feng studied her eyes and instantly understood what had happened. "You sealed your own emotions?"

    That¡¯s right. Seal. After finding out that she could not bear to act against Chen Feng, after deep contemtion, the Luck Goddess had decided to seal her emotions. This was her dignity, the dignity of the Luck Goddess.

    The Luck Goddess spoke serenely. "I am a god. I will not permit myself to capitte to a lowly human." She repeated the same words she had said earlier, yet this time, her words were filled with detachment.

    The Luck Goddess¡¯s gaze was ice cold. "When the dayes where my seal is removed and my emotions are reinstated, I will probably regret this. I will also hate myself, and I will miss you. But for now... I must kill you."

    Chen Feng focused his gaze on her eyes as he asked, "Can you bring yourself to do it?"

    Seal...

    Could her emotions truly be fully sealed? With his rtionship with Spirit and their shared experiences, even without emotions, the Luck Goddess wouldn¡¯t kill him, right?

    Bang!

    A terrifying godly power bloomed, and once again, the Luck Goddess tried to make a move against Chen Feng.

    s, it was truly as Chen Feng had guessed. Even with her emotions sealed, she still couldn¡¯t bring herself to kill him, as it was precisely as she had said: she was Spirit and Spirit was her. Even without emotions, her memory was still there. How could she bring herself to kill him?

    Chen Feng heaved a sigh of relief.

    He had indeed gambled correctly! Toward the end, she still couldn¡¯t bring herself to act against him. Surprisingly, though, the Luck Goddess merely stared at him silently for a moment before suddenlyughing. This was an incredibly sinisterugh without any emotion.

    Chen Feng felt his scalp go numb. "What are youughing about?"

    "I recalled something," the Luck Goddess exined. "I do not need to kill you. What I am worried about is how you will affect the future, this world, or even me with your control over the power of luck. In that case, why must I kill you? I only need to..."

    She waved her hand.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance shed as a terrifying godly power surged out.

    Pu!

    Chen Feng coughed up a mouthful of blood.

    "I do not need to kill you. Since we have such a good rtionship, I would regret killing you. Mhm... Therefore, I only need to retrieve the power that belongs to me. I can allow you to continue living on. When the seal on my emotions is removed, I will probably return tofort you." The Luck Goddess had a faint smile. "Am I right, my beloved little master?"

    Hum¡ª

    Her tiny hand pressed lightly against Chen Feng¡¯s chest.

    Bang!

    A terrifying power surged forth. At this instant, the formidable and mysterious power waspletely extracted by the Luck Goddess. As for the Luck Goddess, her figure became more and more distinct.

    Hum¡ª

    The faint gold power kept flowing out. Finally, all the power was gathered into a single clump before entering the body of the Luck Goddess. Instantly, the illusory figure of the Luck Goddess became solid.

    "Pu!"

    Chen Feng, half kneeling on the ground, coughed up another mouthful of blood.

    The Luck Goddess caressed Chen Feng¡¯s face slowly and said, "Sorry. I can¡¯t kill you. My feelings will not allow that. Therefore, this is my only option. You are an extremely important person to me. As such, I will allow you to retire from the soon-toe Primordial War. This war... You do not need to participate. After all, it is way too dangerous for you to participate in theing war of the gods. Your luck value originates from me. Without luck value, you are nothing. I reckon this is something I will agree with even after I have regained my emotions."

    The Luck Goddess made the most proper choice. She was certain that regardless of whether it was the true her or the current her with sealed emotions, both would agree that the correct choice was to remove Chen Feng¡¯s power over luck so he could distance himself from theing terrifying war.

    The Luck Goddess¡¯s lingering voice sounded beside Chen Feng¡¯s ear. "Therefore, be obedient and take your rest. With my godly power of luck, you will be a legend of humanity, a true legend, a legend that has lost all his previous strength..."

    Bang!

    With a stagger, Chen Feng copsed to the ground.

    Hum¡ª

    With a sh of gold, the Luck Goddess vanished.

    "Chen Feng! Fast, get a doctor!"

    The people of the Gic Union felt something wrong and rushed over. The seriously injured Chen Feng was taken out, and after emergency treatment, he was able to regain his consciousness.

    "How is he?" the deputy president asked, deeply concerned.

    The medical personnel sighed. "He lost all his power, only leaving behind the empty shell of an awakened one. I suppose he is presently a level-three awakened."

    The deputy president was confused. "Empty shell?"

    "Mhm. In short, he remains in the awakened realm but is no longer able to use any of his abilities. All his abilities have seemingly copsed together with a certain power. The present Chen Feng should be the same as the other master producers. He should have extremely weakbat power."

    The medical personnel smiled bitterly. The deputy president¡¯s heart trembled. Same with other master producers? He was clear on how terrifying Chen Feng was. He was an existence capable of unleashing the power of resonators even when he was a mere level-three awakened. He was the undisputed number one human. Yet now... he had lost all his power?

    This...

    The deputy president clenched his teeth. "Contact Senior Duma! Perhaps only Senior Duma will be able to help."

    He had no idea what had happened to Chen Feng exactly. However, Chen Feng was the pir of support for humanity, and no mishaps could be allowed to happen to him.

 Chapter 705: This Enemy Is Quite Strong

    Soon, Duma rushed over. s, after looking at Chen Feng¡¯s condition, he could only shake his head.

    Duma sighed. "This power..."

    The deputy president was anxious. "Even you can¡¯t help him?"

    "No." Shock was apparent in Duma¡¯s eyes. After scanning Chen Feng¡¯s body attentively, he could only share a bitter smile. "In his body, traces of a god can be seen."

    At this, the pupils of the deputy president and others shrunk. "A god..."

    Duma sighed. "That¡¯s right. A god. Resonators are appearing without stop. Unexpectedly, the first god has awoken as well. Moreover, this god is in fact the Luck Goddess."

    The deputy president could not understand. "Why were her eyes set on Chen Feng?"

    Duma contemted and said, "Perhaps it was due to the continuous miracles that Chen Feng created. Chen Feng is an iparably talented youth with iparable luck as well. Perhaps this is why the Luck Goddess set her eyes on him."

    The deputy president and the rest werepletely confused. Was it not a good thing to have the Luck Goddess¡¯s attention on oneself?

    Duma shook his head. "If one had the attention of aplete Luck Goddess, it would naturally be a good thing. However, the newly awakened Luck Goddess clearly doesn¡¯t have her full strength yet. As such, she has to absorb sufficient power to recover... Take a guess, for the Luck Goddess to recover her godly power, what does she need to absorb?"

    The deputy president and the rest inhaled a mouthful of breath in shock.

    "Could it be..."

    Duma sighed. "That¡¯s right. Luck. Perhaps this is why Chen Feng caught her attention. He was so lucky that it was heaven defying."

    The deputy president and the rest nked. Gods... those gods were actually such existences?

    "How could this happen..."

    Duma smiled bitterly. "Kind gods do not exist. Think of the gods as even more powerful humans. Some are good, and some are evil, and they all have their own emotions, desires, and even ambitions. As for the Luck Goddess... if not for a certain existence keeping her in check back then..." Duma stared ahead. "Since she has already awoken, perhaps the time has alsoe for the existence that was responsible for keeping her in check to awaken as well... The legendary... Misfortune Goddess."

    Misfortune...

    The deputy president and the rest exchanged nces, startled. This goddess, from her name alone, did not seem like a god one could easily get along with.

    The deputy president was still worried about Chen Feng. "How about Chen Feng..."

    Duma pondered and said, "Let him stay at the Gene Production Association. His achievements have been way too conspicuous. If this had happened in the past, it would not matter. Now that his luck has been fully absorbed, his situation is way too dangerous. It would be the best for him to stay at the Gene Production Association. Keep the happenings of today a secret and protect him as best as you guys can. We can slowly think of a way to reinstate his abilities."

    "Fine."

    The deputy president and the rest exchanged nces and agreed that this was the only option. They tried their best to hide this incident.

    Unfortunately, the appearance of the Luck Goddess had caused too big of a scene, causing everyone to find out that Chen Feng had indeed been crippled.

    "Have you heard? Chen Feng seems to have been crippled?"

    "Is that for real?"

    "How is that not real? The lover of the daughter-inw of the husband of the lover of my brother is a member of the Gic Union. This is absolutely true. It is said that Chen Feng was carried away."

    "Holy shit, who did it?"

    "No idea, but I heard it was a god."

    "!!!"

    ...

    Soon, the news that Chen Feng had been crippled spread online as well. From that astonishing radiance, the aura of a god, and the resonators that confirmed this fact, everyone was startled to find that it was indeed true. The number one human, Chen Feng, had truly been crippled. The entire world was shaken.

    "I heard it was a god."

    "God damn it, what are those gods nning to do?"

    "I don¡¯t know. But I heard that during the Primordial Era, gods were everywhere. Now that the resonators have appeared, I suppose more and more gods will appear as well..."

    "But why did they target Chen Feng? He was a legend among us humans."

    "I don¡¯t know."

    Everyone talked about this. A majority of them were furious about it and felt that this was too much of a pity. Due to Chen Feng¡¯s unique identity and the myriad contributions he had made toward humanity, even after being crippled, he was stillpletely iparable as a legend of humanity.

    "Hopefully he can wake up soon enough."

    "Sigh, for this to have happened..."

    "Damn it. One day I will beat up all these gods..."

    "Count me in."

    The inte was talking about this without stop.

    While the entire world was talking about him, slowly, Chen Feng woke up. He stretched his hands out, then cast his senses inward only to find that his entire body felt empty. All his power, all his abilities, were gone.

    Myriad Illusions...

    Nethergaze...

    God Punisher...

    Everything!

    Although these abilities had been his to begin with, they had all been obtained using the illusory world of Luck Aura as the base. Therefore, when his illusory world copsed, everything vanished with it. He sank his consciousness into his own body. Only a nk piece of nothingness could be found. The illusory world was indeed no more.

    "My strength..."

    He waved his hand, trying to sense his present strength. He was still a level-three awakened. No growth and no abilities. He was probably the weakest level-three awakened in existence, perhaps even weaker than those master producers of the Gene Production Association, since they could at least use gic abilities. As for Chen Feng, he had nothing.

    Chen Feng clenched his fists tightly. "Luck Goddess..."

    You have not only taken my Luck Aura, you have also taken my illusory world?

    Chen Feng was sure that with the Luck Goddess¡¯s strength, if she had wanted to only absorb his Luck Aura, she could have done so. But this damnable woman had even absorbed his illusory world, the very foundation of all his abilities!

    "B*tch!"

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. Even after fusing with Spirit, fusing with all her innocence and goodness, it was still not sufficient to bnce out the so-called ambition of a god, how much of an asshole she was. It was no wonder that Thomas and the rest had all called her a b*tch.

    Chen Feng spread both his hands wide. "In short... I am truly a cripple now?" For the first time, he felt so weak. Such strength...

    "Hu¡ª"

    He stood up. At present, he was in a special-grade ward in the Gic Union. The environment was extremely quiet, with only a screen beside him. On the screen was data left behind for him by the deputy president. It detailed everything Duma had said as well as the progress of everything that had happened so far.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Stay with the Gene Production Association?" Impossible.

    He was very clear on how terrifying the future would be. Therefore, he could not give up just like that. He had to recover his strength, even without Luck Aura. As long as he could recover his previous strength, it would be sufficient.

    "Even without Luck Aura, if I erupt fully and enter pseudo-resonance mode, I will still be sufficiently strong."

    This was his confidence. In any case, he hadn¡¯t really used Luck Aura since the upgrade started. With his very own strength, he had also opened a wide path for himself. As such, how could he allow that b*tch to destroy everything he had built?

    I must be strong! I cannot stop here!

    The first person he contacted was Kong Bai. "Kong Bai, can youe over?"

    Kong Bai shrugged. "No."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Kong Bai smiled bitterly. "The deputy president told me about you. I also visited you before. I know that you want me to take you transmigrating. If this were any other day, I would definitely do it, regardless of the low probability of sess. However, your strength..." Kong Bai shook his head. After pondering the matter, Kong Bai decided to say, "With your present state, if you can¡¯t recover after around two or three transmigrations, you will definitely die. On top of that, Duma has something he wants me to tell you."

    "What?"

    With some difficulty, Kong Bai said, "Rest at ease behind the frontlines. If the Luck Goddess is your opponent, victory is impossible. Regardless of how many times we transmigrate, we will not be able to transmigrate back to the past, to the correct point in time to change this."

    Hearing this, Chen Feng came to an abrupt realization.

    True! With the Luck Goddess¡¯s influence...

    Kong Bai shrugged as he exined, "We will not be able to transmigrate to the past. Duma said that anything you do now will potentially lead you to extreme danger. It will be for the best if you just stay here and rest while focusing on gene production." This was the most he could do for Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng took in a deep breath. "I understand." He tried contacting everyone else, but all of them rejected him. The reason for this was extremely simple: it was already very lucky of Chen Feng to have been able to survive the Luck Goddess. With his present situation, if he still dared to act recklessly, things would truly be extremely dangerous. One could say that if he dared to move out once again, he would definitely die.

    Therefore, nobody would allow Chen Feng to leave, as this time, their opponent was a god, the Luck Goddess. Before the Luck Goddess, all of Chen Feng¡¯s miracles in the past were reduced to mere jokes. Therefore, nobody would help him this time.

    Thest person he contacted was Qin Hai. "Qin Hai..."

    Simrly, Qin Hai replied with a sigh, "Sorry. I can¡¯t watch on as you go and throw your life away."

    "I can¡¯t sit here waiting for death and doing nothing," Chen Feng replied solemnly.

    Qin Hai spoke solemnly as well. "I know you are not resigned to this. Therefore, tell me. So long as you have a method that will work, I will help you without hesitation, even if it involves looking for that Luck Goddess."

    Chen Feng sank into silence.

    "See... Even if we allow you to leave, you can¡¯t think of a method either. The only thing you can do is keep trying amid the numerous dangers, or perhaps you will go and look for the Luck Goddess, or even other gods..." Qin Hai sighed. "This will never work, especially with the Luck Goddess interfering."

    Chen Feng could not refute this. He knew that Qin Hai was right. With the interference of the Luck Goddess, it would be impossible for him to seed unless he could coincidentally encounter another god...

    Only a god would be able to face a god. s, even if a different god awoke, Chen Feng would most definitely not be able to encounter that god thanks to the Luck Goddess running interference. This was like a never-ending circle of dead ends.

    Chen Feng had once had control over the power of luck as well. Therefore, he was way too aware of how terrifying luck could be, especially with the amount of luck value the Luck Goddess had. One could say that if she wanted to eliminate the world, she would be able to aplish that easily. Before the other gods woke up, the Luck Goddess would remain this world¡¯s sole god.

    Chen Feng was perplexed. "What should I do?"

    "Wait," Qin Hai answered. "When the Misfortune Goddess awakens, I reckon she will be extremely willing to help you regain your strength due to your rtionship with the Luck Goddess."

    Chen Feng was speechless. "..." True, that would probably be his only chance. However, how long would he have to wait?

    Next, he went online. During the period he had been unconsciousness, the initial wave caused by his crippling had slowly calmed down. At present, everyone was more worried about what Chen Feng would do in the future. However, everyone seemed to unanimously think that Chen Feng would focus on gene production, since this was what Chen Feng was best at and the only way he could still contribute to this world.

    How about Chen Feng leaving, going to the outside world again? Forget it. All of humanity was against him going out.

    "Genes..."

    Chen Feng turned his attention to gene production. He was aware that the only method he could still rely on to be stronger was gene production. However, gene-production methods for awakened ones were way too different from normal gene production, as producing genes for awakened ones mainly relied on one¡¯s consciousness. But the present Chen Feng did not even fulfill that requirement.

    That was because, since the copse of his illusory world, he had not been able to see that miniature person within him. The present him had nothing.

    He clenched his fists tightly. "I must regain my initial strength." Gene production? No, it would not work at all. All his gene productions in the past had relied on luck. Now that he no longer had the power of luck and had even be hostile with the Luck Goddess, gene production was no longer possible for him. He couldn¡¯t achieve sess in this upation where luck yed an incredibly crucial role.

    If luck stayed forever hostile to him, he was certain that he would not meet sess in anything he did in this entire life of his. This was the worst thing about his present situation. Therefore, after contemting the matter, he found that Luck Goddess had indeed sealed all his options.

    "Therefore, I can only wait for the Misfortune Goddess?" Chen Feng muttered mockingly.

    What if the Misfortune Goddess did not manage to awaken? Or perhaps, what if she was already dead? Chen Feng stood up and gazed ahead, seemingly trying to look at what the future had in store for him.

    Mhm...

    How about staying here and focusing on gene production? He could focus on those gene reagents with a high sess rate, or perhaps industrialize the gene-production industry, or maybe innovate the industry? No, these would never work. Thanks to the hostility of luck, he would never be able to sessfullye out with something new.

    Therefore...

    Mhm...

    He would be nothing but a crippled legend. Slowly, he would retire from even his position as a gene producer and go into retirement. With his shares in the Gic Union and the Gene Production Association, he would be able to retirefortably. If, one day, peace finally arrived, he would be able to cheer for it. And if, one day, the world was destroyed, well, he would die together with the world.

    This was the future awaiting him. A future where, in this new era where resonators and gods appeared, he could only wait as others decided his fate. From now on, everything in this world would have nothing to do with him.

    "I am truly... not resigned to this."

    A strong feeling of indignation arose within him. He looked at his present body, which wasn¡¯t particrly strong, and clenched both his fists tightly. Had he still been too kind after all? If, back then, in that ck room, he had trained Spirit even better...

    Mhm...

    Heughed bitterly. Forget it. After all, he was not as cruel as the Luck Goddess. Even if he had known what he should do to survive, he still would not have allowed himself to be too cruel to the pure and innocent Spirit.

    "I no longer want to have anything to do with you, nor will I submit just like this."

    He inhaled deeply and decided that he would look for a chance to go out and take a look at this wide world.

    Perhaps he would be able to encounter an awakened god and regain his strength? Regardless of whether the god he encountered was a good one or an evil one, so long as that god was hostile toward the Luck Goddess, everything would be fine. Even if the possibility of sess was only one in ten thousand, he would not give up on it.

    Perhaps...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng nked. He studied the screen attentively, looking at the earlier dialog between Duma and the deputy president. Suddenly, his eyes widened as he thought of a certain possibility, a possibility capable of allowing him to reverse everything!

    "Misfortune Goddess... That war..."

    Chen Feng had a pensive look on his face. Shortly after, he contacted Duma and the rest and gained greater understanding of that war. He also gained more understanding of the death of the Luck Goddess back then, and he found out how, finally, everyone had died together during that final war.

    "Back then? Everyone died. But... protecting humanity? That was not the case. Back then, the Luck Goddess¡¯s side was merely defeated, causing her to lose her mind and drag everyone to death along with her. It was not a war between good and evil. Rather, it was merely a war due to the grudges of some gods. As for the Luck Goddess... since she was too powerful, only the Misfortune Goddess could deal with her. Therefore, the two ultimately perished together in that war..."

    These were all the clues Chen Feng had obtained thus far. Toward the end, the Misfortune Goddess and the Luck Goddess had died together, causing the destruction of the entire world. Died... together...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng thought of a certain possibility.

    Could it be...

    Chapter 707: The Missing Apocalypse

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    On the Twin Horns World, a pitch ck radiance was swirling about. An elder was gazing up at the starry sky. "Has contact been established with that child?"

    The underling shook his head. "No." Ever since the teleportation portal was destroyed and the captain went missing, they had not been able to make contact. Even though they had obtained some extremely terrifying news regarding the human world... a lot of them were still unwilling to give up just like that.

    "In my memories, the human world should be a low-tier martial world, right?"

    "Based on my deductions... their strength should be much weaker than ours..."

    This was their initial opinion. However, the words the captain had left before his disappearance had caused them great suspicion. They no longer dared to leave this world. This had remained true until today.

    "It might be false news sent by some human..."

    "It is also quite possible that the captain has long fallen under their control."

    The elder spoke calmly. "I no longer want to wait. Whatever the case, we have to look at it with our very own eyes."

    "Yes."

    The rest were agitated as well. Regardless of what the human world was like, they needed to have a look themselves.

    "How goes the deduction of the coordinates?"

    "We found them. Based on the coordinates providedst time, we were able to deduce an even more suitable position. This time, we will not teleport straight onto that. Rather, we will arrive in outer space outside the."

    "Mhm... Very good. Let us begin, then."

    Bang!

    A terrifying radiance swirled around. The twin-horns race, which had long finished their preparations, started teleporting once again. Based on the coordinates they had received previously, they had determined the perfect location for their teleportation. This time, they would note in contact with the humans. Rather, they could observe the humans first.

    Bang!

    The empty air started shining brightly, and an immense teleportation portal appeared there. The sky was ripped apart as the twin-horns race gathered before it.

    "It is open!"

    "Let¡¯s go!"

    "Yes!"

    With their preparations done, they all charged forth. However, right at this instant, the portal turned red, and an astonishing aura abruptly descended.

    All the twin-horns members were stunned.

    "Huh?"

    This aura...

    This sky...

    "Has something happened at the human world?

    One of them pointed at the sky in rm. "What is that?"

    There, where the portal had opened, a red radiance with a long trail was descending with boundless might. Tearing through space itself, that thing was headed straight toward the Twin Horns World.

    "This..."

    "Damn it, this is aet!"

    The elder looked at the sky, his expression finally changing. Comet! A peculiaret!

    They screamed in rm.

    "Quick, shut down the portal."

    "We are toote!"

    "Stop theet!"

    s... it was already toote. With the might of the apocalypse, theet descended upon them. Nobody was capable of stopping it.

    "How can this..."

    They merely stared on nkly at the sky. Before them was an expanse of nothing but red. The first time they had tried entering the human world, their n had instantly been foiled with their vanguard getting caught, losing contact with the entire team.

    The second time they had tried entering the human world, before even entering, a cmity hade crashing at them.

    How could there be such a coincidence? The moment they opened the portal was the exact moment theet was passing through? That shouldn¡¯t happen, right? That was such a hugeet! How could such a hugeet travel past that?

    With the terrifying might of thiset, it was definitely an umon one. How could the humans have not noticed its approach, causing theet to, in a sick coincidence, travel straight into the portal opened by the twin-horns race? They were all stupefied. Even when theet arrived, they were still clueless as to what had happened.

    The elder sighed. "Damn it..." He knew that their tiny Twin Horns World could not survive such an impact.

    The elder prostrated on the ground. "Lord... we beseech your assistance."

    At the same time, the rest of the despairing twin-horns race prostrated on the ground as well. They muttered without stop, praying to their lord. Above them, thatet continued its descent.

    Bang!

    An immense shockwave engulfed the entire. The entire Twin Horns World was ravaged by the redet. Suddenly, amid the boundless red, a figure appeared. Indifferently, the figure¡¯s hand lifted, forming an energy ring and defending against the crashinget.

    Hum¡ª

    Theet took a detour and turned around, returning to space. It was actually flung away! The red nket vanished, leaving a bunch of twin-horns members and the surface of the greatly messed up.

    "Thank you, Lord." The elder was extremely agitated. Their lord, the omnipotent god, had finally awoken!

    The lord¡¯s head shook. "I heard you calling. I made an exception toe out of my seclusion. This has caused immense exhaustion on my part. You guys need to cultivate properly so I can reappear again soon. This thing"¡ªthe lord left behind a leaf¡ª"will be helpful in rebuilding this ce."

    Shua!

    After finishing these words, the lord vanished.

    "Yes."

    The twin-horns race kowtowed to the lord. However, after the lord went back into seclusion, they looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what to do with this half-destroyed world.

    Energy... This world was now exhausted of energy!

    In this Twin Horns World, each cultivator supplied their lord with the power of faith, since here, everyone was a devoted believer of that lord. Unfortunately, the energy contained within this world was finite. It had been a very long time since the Twin Horns World¡¯s poption had increased, and it had been a very long time since any of them had improved in their cultivation.

    Humanity...

    That world!

    Hum¡ª

    The elder looked at the leaf in his hand. In this bluish-green leaf, a dense vitality radiated. This was something they could use to rebuild their homnd.

    The elder narrowed his eyes, suddenly recalling something. "This thing... Is there anything remaining of what Chen Feng left behind on this world back then?"

    The underling nodded. "Yes. We have some of the clothes he wore when he first came here."

    The elder smiled. "Very good. We only need an item from that world."

    Soon, the clothes were brought over. With a sharp gaze, the elder ced the leaf gently on top of the cloth. In his eyes, countless inscriptions shed into appearance. Next, a powerful power of deduction started operating as the leaf glowed green.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Around the clothes, a half-illusory world started appearing.

    Chen Feng...

    Ancient race...

    Gic Era...

    First in the world...

    Gene reagent...

    ...

    A huge amount of astonishing information appeared.

    Finally, the elder howled withughter. "Hahahaha! So it turns out that this is what the human world is like? So this is your world¡¯s strength? Chen Feng is in fact the strongest there?"

    Finally, he understood. There was no such thing as a terrifying human world. All along, that damnable Chen Feng had been tricking them. He was sure that their vanguard captain had been captured by Chen Feng before being used to mislead them, leaving behind such a message to them. The reason he had done this was that the human world was truly too weak...

    As for theet earlier? Merely a coincidence.

    Naturally, if Chen Feng knew what was happening here, he would definitely have told them that the descent of theet was no coincidence. Rather, the twin-horns race had intercepted theet in ce of the humans.

    The elder howled withughter. "Hahahahaha! Keep preparing the invasion. The human world shall soon be ours."

    Awakened ones everywhere? Chen Feng wasn¡¯t an ordinary person? Screw all of that.

    The twin-horns elder shouted, "This time, we will fully enter the human world."

    "Yes!"

    They were all filled with anticipation. They knew that the moment they finished their preparation would also be the moment that they invaded the human world. That wide and vast world would belong to them! The humans, that weak race that was bad at cultivating, were not qualified to live on such a.

    Damnable humans, wipe your ass and await our conquering! Hehehehe...

 Chapter 708: Worth It?

    Chapter 708: Worth It?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In a certain location, Thomas and the others that had been pursued to the end of the world had finally gotten a break due to the awakening of the Luck Goddess.

    "This aura..."

    "The Luck Goddess has awakened?"

    "How is that possible?"

    "If so, then the one who tried to destroy the world previously was..."

    "Damn it!"

    Their expressions became extremely unsightly. They were way too clear how frightening the Luck Goddess was. Behind the noble legends that had been spread about her, only the survivors of the Primordial Era knew what this Luck Goddess was truly like.

    "She is actually the first god to awaken..."

    "It¡¯s all over."

    "I have heard she will promise mutual annihtion at the slightest displeasure..."

    "Things will be troublesome now."

    Everyone sighed.

    "Looks like we have to hasten our recovery."

    "Mhm..."

    "Although the Luck Goddess has appeared, she seems very weak now. We must recover our strength as soon as possible so as to awaken our gods as well."

    "Mhm."

    They all nodded in agreement. At times like this, they no longer had the mood to fight among themselves. The most proper course of action was to awaken their respective gods before the Luck Goddess fully recovered. As such, all the resonators pursuing Thomas¡¯s group left one after another, leaving the bewildered group behind.

    "Left?"

    Thomas was incredibly infuriated.

    God damn it, pursuing us for so long and nearly murdering us, yet leaving just like that? Without even an apology?

    "These bastards."

    The rest of them were so furious that their entire bodies trembled as well.

    "We will not this matter rest just like this," Wealthy Zhao said, his eyes coldly gleaming.

    Sakata Chuunibyou sneered. "It is pointless to look for these idiots. We still need to look for the culprit. Don¡¯t we have a pushover ripe for bullying? It is time for us to show those fellows how strong we resonators are."

    Pushover...

    They were all tempted by this suggestion. True, that damnable culprit, Chen Feng!

    The only reason they had suffered so much, being chased all over and nearly being killed, was because of the schemes of that damnable Chen Feng! When they had been fighting over that stone, Chen Feng hadid traps upon traps for them, tricking them all into oblivion. They had no idea why the Luck Goddess had appeared suddenly. They were also unaware of the reason Chen Feng had suddenly lost his strength. However, this, for them, was the perfect opportunity.

    "Let¡¯s go!"

    After recovering their energy, they directly headed toward the Gic Union.

    At the same time, within a certain silent training room in the Gic Union, Chen Feng was extremely agitated, to the point that he even jumped. Fate Stone... This was something he had obtained on his previous. If the Luck Goddess and Misfortune Goddess had perished together, where was the power unique to the Misfortune Goddess? The one item that had been excavated together with the Fate Stone by his parents...

    A boom resounded within Chen Feng¡¯s mind.

    Bang!

    "Misfortune Goddess... it is about time for you to wake up," Chen Feng muttered.

    Bang!

    A gloomy aura shed out. Beside him, the pen that had been following him silently all this while, the pen judged as a portable energy storage device, was currently glowing. An ice-cold and dark power was emanating from the pen.

    This is...

    Shua!

    Chen Feng grabbed at it and sensed the formidable undtions. This power waspletely different from the Luck Goddess¡¯s power, yet it wasparably powerful. This was a power unique to the gods¡ªgodly power, the power of misfortune!

    "So it turns out that you have always been by my side."

    It was no wonder that regardless of how he had operated it, Spirit had not been able to sense any abnormalities in it. It was also no wonder that when his soul had returned to the past, Spirit had failed toe along with him. That was in fact due to this pen blocking Spirit. Or one could say that this pen had blocked out the Luck Goddess¡¯s consciousness.

    However, having suffered the trickeries of the Luck Goddess, Chen Feng would not easily step into the traps of these gods. Would this so-called Misfortune Goddess be reliable? Chen Feng caressed the pen in his hand and whispered, "Can I trust you?"

    Hum¡ª

    The pen glowed lightly with a gloomy aura.

    The power of misfortune slowly flowed along the pen into Chen Feng¡¯s body, fusing with him.

    "Sorry."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly as he released his hold on the pen, halting this sudden flow of power.

    "..."

    Chen Feng watched on silently. He indeed wished to recover his strength. However, that did not mean he would be willing to subject himself to the control of the Misfortune Goddess. As far as he was concerned, the Luck Goddess and the Misfortune Goddess were probably the same type of person.

    The Luck Goddess had been lucky and had encountered Chen Feng way earlier, thus being able to recover her strength. As for the Misfortune Goddess, she had truly been unlucky, for Chen Feng to have only now realized her existence despite the fact that both she and the Luck Goddess had been excavated together.

    The Luck Goddess had used Chen Feng as a stepping board and had left. She had been able to smoothly obtain all the power of luck from him and had been able to destroy Chen Feng¡¯s illusory world, the foundation of all his abilities, in the process, rendering him a cripple. As such, Chen Feng would absolutely not allow the same thing to happen with the Misfortune Goddess. If that would be his fate, he would rather not have the power.

    Chen Feng gazed at the pen coldly. "I think you understand what I want, right?" Chen Feng spoke coldly. "I need... a power that truly belongs to me. If you are in agreement with that, hand over all your power to me. With that, I will naturally think of a way to restore your godhood. Otherwise, I will ensure that this pen will forever be unable to disy its worth."

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The pen shone brightly, seemingly very furious. Evidently, she was extremely furious with the difference in treatment between her and the Luck Goddess. Why did everyone fight over that bitch whenever she appeared, yet when this Misfortune Goddess appeared, she shouldered all the me? It was obviously the fault of that Luck Goddess, yet she, the Misfortune Goddess, was the one suffering the consequences! This was too excessive!

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The pen glowed unceasingly.

    Chen Feng merely regarded the pen coldly. "I will give you some time to think about it." He required strength. However, he had no interest in the type of strength that one could take away anytime one wished. As such, within this room filled with a gloomy radiance, Chen Feng and the pen regarded each other. The atmosphere there was filled with a bizarre sense of oppression.

    At the same time, at the entrance of the Gic Union...

    Bang!

    The gate that had been repaired not long ago was once again broken apart.

    Instantly, the higher-ups of the Gic Union were alerted.

    "Who is it?"

    After the various destructions the main gate of the Gic Union had suffered, thistest version had been made sturdy enough to withstand the attack of an awakened. But now it had been directly destroyed... This proved that the strength of the enemy this time...

    Shua! Shua!

    The experts of the Gic Union all appeared, including the deputy president, who had instantly arrived here as well. At this time, four powerful-looking people appeared at the entrance. They were precisely Thomas¡¯s group of four. They were only here for one reason.

    "Who are you guys?" the deputy president asked coldly.

    "Resonator: Thomas."

    "Resonator: Wealthy Zhao."

    ...

    They each introduced themselves, causing great waves in the hearts of the gic warriors present. These four were actually all resonators! Why had they appeared here?

    "We are here looking for one person. Deliver him to us and we will leave," Thomas said with a nastyugh.

    "Who?"

    "Chen Feng!" Sakata Chuunibyou replied.

    Shua!

    Instantly, the alertness of the gic warriors increased, and ten-odd awakened ones immediately entering their highestbat-ready state. As for the deputy president, he signaled to someone, resulting in some modern weapons silently appearing all around. Instantly, the mood became tense.

    Wu Liangughed. "Interesting. Looks like Chen Feng¡¯s status here is not so simple after all."

    The deputy president merely sneered as a reply. "Hehe." Since they had made their entrance by destroying the door and then demanding Chen Feng, there was nothing to talk about. So what if these four were resonators?

    The deputy president didn¡¯t hesitate. "Go!"

    Bang!

    All the awakened ones charged forth instantly.

    Suddenly, Wealthy Zhao shook his head. He unhurriedly analyzed the situation. "How funny. The Gic Union is indeed powerful, being able to stabilize the descending madness that resulted from the arrival of the primordial. However...do you guys truly believe that resonators are all simple people? Do you guys still remember the huge gap between A ss and awakened?

    "The gap between awakened and resonators is evenrger, since it is the gap between man and god. What we use is precisely the power of the gods! It hasn¡¯t been easy for the Gic Union to reach its current height. You guys still need to stabilize the world. If something happens here, the entire world will most definitely descend into great chaos. Those awakened ones will all be out of control. Can you all truly ept this? For Chen Feng, can you give up on the world? For Chen Feng, can you let chaos descend upon the world? Hehe. We only want Chen Feng. Hand him over and we will leave immediately. We can even pay for the damage we caused to this gate...

    "Hehe, you guys might be able to face a single resonator. But against four of us... even without being fully recovered, we can still easily dominate this ce. Therefore, before the battle starts, carefully consider everything."

    For a single Chen Feng, would this be worth it?

    Yet again, the deputy president responded with a sneer. "Hehe."

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Once again, the deputy president waved his hand. "Go!"

    The ten-odd awakened ones moved forth again. The berserk power of awakened ones flooded out. Wealthy Zhao¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly as he once again activated his godly power, a faint power of nothingness materializing around him.

    Shua!

    The radiance swept forth, and instantly, the attacks of the ten-odd awakened ones were greatly weakened.

    Wealthy Zhao shook his head. "I control the godly power of wealth... So long as there is a tiny speck of greed toward wealth in your hearts..."

    Bang!

    This time, Wu Liang moved.

    With a single sword, a terrifying godly power surged out. With a boom, the ten-odd awakened ones were flung away, each coughing up from their mouths.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    The deputy president and the rest were overwhelmed with shock at this development. They knew that awakened ones were powerful. However, they had been under the impression that experts at such a level had yet to recover their strength. Surprisingly, even without being fully recovered, they were already this strong. So this was resonance?

    Wealthy Zhao spoke unhurriedly. "My advice remains the same. Hand us Chen Feng."

    The deputy president nced at him and pressed a certain button. "Hehe."

    Shua! Shua!

    Several cannons appeared and aimed straight at Wealthy Zhao¡¯s group. These were energy weapons manufactured by the Research Agency.

    "Several friends of mine left a message. Mhm, thistest invention of theirs is capable of insta-killing awakened ones. Are you guys interested in trying to see if it can kill resonators as well?" the deputy president said.

    Hearing this, the expressions of Wealthy Zhao¡¯s group changed slightly. Insta-killing awakened ones... So humankind had already created such a weapon?

    Sakata Chuunibyou waved his hand. "Hehe."

    Hum¡ª

    A faint godly power surged out. A faint barriertched onto the cannons.

    Sakata Chuunibyou smiled toyingly. "Do you know what the biggest w in these weapons is? They are nearly defenseless. It is way too easy to simply seal them up."

    Ka!

    The deputy president pressed the power switch. Indeed... the cannons were no longer working. Facing the power of the gods, technology was indeed too weak.

    Wealthy Zhao walked up to the president and aimed his finger straight at the deputy president¡¯s forehead, killing intent leaking out of him. "Are you still not willing to hand over Chen Feng?"

    The deputy president merely gazed at him coldly.

    Chen Feng¡¯s existence was way too significant for humanity. As such, regardless of the past or present, if they were to hand over someone who had contributed so much to humanity, it would be as good as obliterating their own humanity. If that happened, it would truly be over for mankind.

    Wealthy Zhao appeared rather regretful. "Excellent. You can go die, then."

    Swish!

    His finger started glowing. Since the humans were unwilling to hand Chen Feng over, they would have to look for him themselves. However, just as he was about to kill the deputy president, a familiar voice resounded. "Are you looking for me?"

    Shua!

    This startled everyone.

    Chen Feng?

    Instinctively, everyone looked in the direction of the voice. There, Chen Feng was unhurriedly walking out.

    "You have indeed arrived," Wealthy Zhao said with a toying smile.

    The deputy president¡¯s expression changed greatly. "Chen Feng! What are you doing,ing out? Didn¡¯t I get them to send you away secretly? Why did you not follow them away?"

    He had previously dispatched some people to secretly send Chen Feng away. Unexpectedly, Chen Feng had stayed behind.

    Chen Feng chuckled. "Do you think they can order me around?"

    The deputy president was anxious. "But..."

    Chen Feng patted his shoulder. "Don¡¯t worry. Let me deal with this. Don¡¯t worry, these fellows are old friends of mine."

    The deputy president and the rest sighed. "Chen Feng..." They were all aware that Chen Feng had, for the sake of both himself and the Gic Union, decided toe out. In this new era where the primordial had descended, they were ultimately still too weak. The deputy president looked at hismunicator. The distress signal he had sent to Duma was still buffering without stop. Mhm... The message was still blocked.

    Since these resonators had decided toe, how would they give the Gic Union a chance to ask for help? Otherwise, all the awakened ones the Gic Union had would be sufficient to flood these fellows to their death. Although these resonators were arrogant, they were not stupid.

    However, looking at Chen Feng, these gic warriors all felt iparably bitter. The Gic Union that had once been number one in the world had been reduced to such a state?

    Thomas chuckled. "Old Zhao, what you said is indeed right. He indeed came out himself."

    "That is only natural," Wealthy Zhao said with a smile. "After all, I have been living among humans for quite a while. As such, I am aware of the significance of Chen Feng among the humans, and naturally, I know the significance of humans to Chen Feng as well."

    "We have been waiting for you," Wu Liang said with a vicious face.

    Chen Feng...

    This was a name they had been thinking about for a very long time.

    "Let¡¯s go," Chen Feng said with a calmly. "Are you guys not here to take me away?"

    Wealthy Zhao nodded. "How straightforward."

    Since they had already obtained what they hade for, it would be for the best if they left now. s, surprisingly, someone else spoke up this moment.

    "Although Old Zhao said that we can easily take you away without killing you, I am still rather displeased here." Thomas fixed his gaze on Chen Feng. "During this period, we have been pursued badly. Why would we allow you to die with such an ease?"

    Wealthy Zhao¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Thomas, don¡¯t act recklessly." The only reason they had even been able to seed in this undertaking was because they had ambushed the Gic Union while the Gic Union¡¯s other awakened ones were not here. After all, the total amount of awakened ones the Gic Union had was quite terrifying. If they were to act recklessly and escted this...

    "Haha! Screw the awakened ones! I, as an illustrious resonator, should be afraid of those trash? So what if there are a lot of them? I can simply hide in the wilderness. Which of them can even locate me? You guys are all willing to stay among human society. The same does not apply to me." Thomasughed wildly. "Chen Feng, you areing with us willingly? Hehe. Sorry, I prefer causing suffering to others."

    The expressions of Wu Liang and the rest sank. "Don¡¯t act recklessly." This follower of the War God was indeed rather crazy.

    Thomas started hissing violently. "Haha, it is already toote."

    Bang!

    Once again, that immense hatchet appeared. Godly power surged out, spreading everywhere. He was actually nning on killing all the Gic Union members here with a single swing of his hatchet.

    "Thomas, calm down!"

    "Die, you all! Chen Feng, you displeased me. I shall displease you in return as well!" Thomas had a menacing look on his face. Willingly? Like hell I will allow you to die willingly. You have tricked me so badly. How can I allow you to die willingly? Do you not treasure your fellow humans? I will let you experience the pain of watching these people die before you!

    Thomasughed menacingly. He could no longer wait to see the expression of utmost pain on Chen Feng¡¯s face.

    Bang!

    The terrifying hatchet swung down.

    Since his attack arrived so fast, even Wu Liang and the rest were unable to stop him in time and could only watch on nkly as that terrifying hatchet swung down loudly.

    Bang!

    The earth trembled.

    "It¡¯s over."

    The hearts of the deputy president and the rest chilled. s, the anticipated death did not appear. When they opened their eyes once again, with astonishment, they found that beneath the immense hatchet, a figure had appeared.

    One of his hands was raised, stopping the fall of the hatchet. When they got a clear look at his appearance, they all inhaled a cold breath of shock. Even Thomas and the other resonators¡¯ bodies chilled in shock. Why? That was because that figure was none other than Chen Feng!

    "How is that possible?"

    Thomas stared at that figure, unbelieving. He was clear how mighty his divine hatchet was. To obliterate these awakened ones, he had already unleashed the greatest of his strength. Yet this guy... This guy...

    Chen Fengughed toyingly. "Isn¡¯t that a tad bit too weak?"

    Ka! Ka!

    Slowly, his right hand pushed up. That immense hatched was actually heaved up by Chen Feng.

    Shua!

    With a wave of his hand, the direction of the ever-so-terrifying hatchet was forcefully changed, shing toward a certain barren mountain range nearby.

    Bang!

    The mountain copsed.

    "Looks like we can save on the expenditures of clearing up the mountain for development," Chen Feng said after ncing at the mountain.

    The bodies of Wealthy Zhao and the rest chilled.

    God damn it! They had only decided toe here after hearing that Chen Feng had been crippled. They had never imagined that this Chen Feng was actually so scary! This level of strength...

    Chen Feng smiled toyingly. "It is natural for me to be this strong. I am the seed of fortune. Since I am the one who awoke the Luck Goddess, how could she cripple me for real? That was merely a lie to misdirect you all."

    Wu Liang shook his head. "No, that is not possible! It is indeed possible for you to lie, but she is a god! The will of a god can never allow deceit! How is it possible for that to be fake?"

    Suddenly, Wealthy Zhao and the rest came to a realization. "Are you tricking us again?" At longst, after being tricked repeatedly by Chen Feng, they were finally enlightened somewhat.

    Sakata Chuunibyou calmly analyzed the situation. "Way too many people sensed the process of the Luck Goddess crippling you on that day... It is not possible for that to have been fake. The will of a god cannot allow deceit! Therefore, you were indeed been crippled and are merely using some other power to trick us."

    Chen Feng looked at him in astonishment. Wow. Tsk tsk, after getting tricked repeatedly, it seems like their IQ has increased. However...

    Chen Feng shrugged. "Fine. Let me change my words, then. At first, I angered her and was crippled. Next, I managed to butter her up nicely, resulting in her reinstating my strength. Mhm... It is this simple."

    Thomas¡¯s group looked at him like they were looking at a retard.

    Are you taking us for fools?

    Chen Feng sighed. "See, even if I tell you guys the truth, you won¡¯t believe it anyway. Come, let me show you all something fun. I personally greatly enjoy looking at the expression of despair on the faces of my opponents..."

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s hand started glowing. The scene of him instructing Spirit in the little ck room was yed.

    Thomas¡¯s group inhaled a mouthful of cold breath. "Hiss¡ª"

    "This is..."

    "The Luck Goddess, that is indeed her!"

    "The aura of good can be felt from this recording. That is something that cannot be forged. But this scene..."

    "They actually..."

    Wu Liang and the rest were totally stupefied.

    Wealthy Zhao looked at Chen Feng with an expression of disbelief. "You actually..."

    Chen Feng sighed. "Sigh, I had no choice. At that time, I was merely trying to seduce a god. Unexpectedly, the Luck Goddess has such a bad temper. With the slightest displeasure, she started releasing her anger." Chen Feng chuckled joyfully. "Fortunately, I have already recovered now."

    At this Wu Liang and the rest felt their bodies going cold.

    Shit, this time, they were truly in a deep shit.

    "Can you feel the desperation?" Chen Feng shed them a wide smile. "I truly enjoy the expression of desperation and helpless in the faces of my enemies. For example, our dearest Thomas here... tsk tsk..."

    Chen Fengughed.

    Thomas opened his mouth, but he had nothing to say. "I..."

    "What do you want?" Wealthy Zhao asked with a heavy tone. Since Chen Feng had bothered to show them this, it was evident that he had no intention of killing them.

    Chen Feng regarded them with a wide smile. "If I wanted to kill you guys, I would have done so already. However, it is exactly as you guys said earlier. The present Gic Union is still quite weak. Therefore, if you guys can..."

    Thomas¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Ridiculous." He sneered. "I do not believe you. Even if you are so intimate with the Luck Goddess, I still do not trust you! You have tricked us way too many times! Screw the Luck Goddess, screw your recovered strength. I refuse to believe that I can¡¯t chop you to death!"

    Bang!

    Surprisingly, he attacked once again. Wu Liang and the rest watched on, not bothering to stop him.

    Bang!

    The dreadful hatchet shed down.

    Chen Feng sighed. "What is the point of this?"

    Bang!

    A gloomy radiance shed and instantly transformed the enormous hatchet into a wisp of green smoke before vanishing into nothingness.

    Thomas¡¯s expression changed greatly. "How is that possible?"

    Chen Feng sighed. "What is the point?"

    "No, that is not possible!" Thomas could not believe it. "How is it possible for my godly power of war to fail? I clearly... No, I refuse to believe this!"

    Bang!

    He attacked once again.

    s...

    Shua! Shua!

    sh after sh, appearance after appearance, disappearance after disappearance. Not a single one of his attacks was able tond. Not a single one seeded.

    Thomas¡¯s heart chilled. "How is this possible?"

    Failed!

    Failed!

    The major trump card he was so proud of hadpletely failed. Even if his hatchet had been blocked by Chen Feng, he wouldn¡¯t be in such panic. However, what was happening only pointed toward a certain possibility...

    For a resonator to borrow the power of a god, one would need to resonate with the god. Therefore, the sess rate of their abilities would never be 100%. There would always be a possibility of failure in resonance. And now... Could it be that the damnable power of luck...

    Shua!

    Wu Liang and the rest exchanged nces, their hearts chilling.

    They were not afraid of how strong Chen Feng could be, since there were four of them with four different godly powers among them. Regardless of how powerful Chen Feng¡¯sbat power was, they would be able to beat him. But if what he used was...

    The ashen-faced Wealthy Zhao asked, "This ability you are using..."

    Chen Feng was all smiles as he said, "This ability? I call it ¡¯The Smile of the Luck Goddess¡¯."

    Shua!

    The hearts of Wu Liang and the rest sank into utmost desperation.

    Luck... indeed! It was no wonder that Thomas kept failing! If they were to give some proper thought to what Chen Feng had said, his rtionship with the Luck Goddess... But then, since everyone had personally witnessed the Luck Goddess crippling him, what was happening presently was in fact... Suddenly, a realization dawned upon them. Damn, that damnable bitch! Yet again, they had been tricked by the Luck Goddess!

    Thomas gnashed his teeth. "Since you have not lost your strength, why did you create this misunderstanding where everyone thinks that you are now crippled?"

    Chen Feng maintained the wide smile on his face. "If I hadn¡¯t, would you guys havee? After all, the Gic Union is still way too weak. Therefore..."

    Shit!

    Thomas and the rest cursed inwardly. This bastard! They had already been very careful of Chen Feng¡¯s trickeries. Unexpectedly, they had still been tricked by him! They were now extremely certain that this damnable Chen Feng was definitely on the side of the Luck Goddess, as both were simrly dastardly, simrly without any sense of shame! This was especially true for the Luck Goddess! Even if she wanted to increase the strength of her boy toy, she did not need to use such a scheme, right? This was too much bullying!

 Chapter 711: What a Scam

    Chapter 711: What a Scam

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In the Gic Union, Chen Feng waszily looking at the four resonators, waiting for their decision.

    "I will follow you," Thomas said after taking in a deep breath. He indeed found submission preferable. Although he possessed valiantbat power, hisbat power was the most unstable. Therefore, the moment a probability maniptor like Chen Feng set eyes on him, he would have no way out. That damnable Luck Goddess...

    "Thomas!" Wu Liang was anxious. Just like that, Thomas had been scared into submission? They were a group of four resonators. Was there a need to fear the lone Chen Feng? Even if parts of their abilities couldn¡¯t be used due to the issue of probability, they still had in their possession a huge number of other powerful abilities that were not reliant on chance. There was no need to fear Chen Feng.

    Thomas inhaled deeply. "Have you forgotten about the Luck Goddess?"

    Wu Liang and the rest: "..."

    True. The Luck Goddess. Regardless of how they tried to dodge this fact, they could not ignore that in this unique era, as the first god to awaken, the Luck Goddess was the strongest existence. There were absolutely no contenders.

    Suddenly, Thomas¡¯s seemingly useless brain started working. "What do you think will happen if we kill Chen Feng?"

    Wu Liang and the rest: "..."

    The fact that Chen Feng still had control over the godly power of luck was sufficient to prove that all the talk about Chen Feng being crippled was nothing but a big lie. As for the rtionship between Chen Feng and the Luck Goddess... As they thought about what Chen Feng had said, their hearts chilled.

    "I will follow you as well," Wu Liang said with a bitter smile.

    Wealthy Zhao was also scared into submission. "Same."

    "..." Sakata Chuunibyou smiled bitterly before shrugging. "I will stay at the Gic Union as well, then."

    Done!

    Around them, the eyes of all the onlookers widened. From the moment Chen Feng had gotten himself involved, they had been worried that something bad would happen. Surprisingly, Chen Feng had been able to easily turn the situation around, subduing these four resonators instead?

    How in the world was this even aplishable?

    This...

    As they thought about the fact that the Gic Union had just obtained four resonators, and those resonators¡¯ strength... The deputy president becamepletely agitated. The other awakened ones exchanged nces, in ecstasy as well. They had always been curious about resonators but had never been able to gain more understanding about them. If, this time, they could take this opportunity to deepen their understanding, it would definitely bring them great benefits. In any case, the significance of these four joining was not to be taken lightly.

    "Excellent." Chen Feng looked at them with a wide smile. "Since you have decided, it¡¯s time to sign the contract."

    Everyone nked. "Contract?"

    "Of course," Chen Feng said with a smile. "You guys didn¡¯t think that I would simply station you all at the Gic Union just like that, right? Don¡¯t worry. Although it is a contract, the contents of it... Well, just follow me."

    Chen Feng spoke a bit with the deputy president before bringing the four of them to the training room.

    Shua!

    He pointed midair. Next, a translucent figure appeared midair. This was an ability he had just learned, a rather powerful one.

    "This is the contract of a god," Thomas and the rest called out in rm when they saw this. The contract of a god! As the name implied, this was something only avable to gods. As resonators, even if they could utilize the power of gods, they were ultimately borrowers. As such, they could only use them for specific abilities. Only true gods with true godly powers could use their godly powers to set upws,ws in the truest sense.

    "You are actually capable of theplete utilization of godly power."

    Wu Liang and the rest were thoroughly rmed. If, earlier, they had still had a shred of doubt in their hearts, right now, they werepletely subdued. Godly power! Chen Feng was actually capable of using true godly power! This signified that when he utilized godly power, he wasn¡¯t borrowing, nor was he resonating. Rather, he was truly using godly power as his own power. If so, his rtionship with his god...

    Holy shit!

    "Amazing." Wu Liang was filled with admiration. This Chen Feng was precisely a god¡¯s malepanion as spoken of in the legends. Once upon a time, when he had been much younger, he had also once thought of being a malepanion of a god. Unfortunately, as he had grown in age and strength and gained a deeper understanding of the gap between god and man, he had given up. He had never seen anyone aplish this feat. But now he finally saw someone that had aplished this feat, even if this panion" status had been achieved using a rather "special" method.

    "Admirable." Thomas had thoroughly submitted as well. During the Primordial Era, he had once heard about people with exceptional courage who dared to "do" it with snakes, or the braver ones who "did" it with ghosts, and some that had even "done" it with caterpirs. However, he had never seen someone that had "done" it with a god!

    "We will sign it."

    Sakata Chuunibyou and the other guycked the slightest hesitation as well. If they could follow such an amazing boss, perhaps their future would not be too bleak.

    "Splendid." Chen Feng tossed the contract over to them.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance started swirling about.

    In fact, the content of this contract of a god was rather simple. In short, with thews of godly power bearing witness, Thomas¡¯s group of four would temporarily ce themselves under themand of Chen Feng. However, there were also extra uses providing a guarantee that Chen Feng would not send Thomas¡¯s group of four to their death as he wished and that he would ensure their safety. If Chen Feng dared break this contract, his link with the Luck Goddess would be thoroughly severed.

    This contract...

    Thomas and the others exchanged nces and reached a conclusion that this contract was eptable. A contract of a god was not to be broken. The moment one broke it, they would truly suffer the consequences as detailed in the contract. Furthermore, the contract of a god would onlye into existence if the detailed punishments were deliverable by thews.

    For example, as the believer of the Luck Goddess, if Chen Feng dared to go against this contract, the contract would severe his connection with the Luck Goddess, rendering him a crippled resonator.

    Wealthy Zhao confirmed the contents of the contract. "eptable." At present, Chen Feng¡¯s greatest backer was his rtionship with Luck Goddess. Therefore, his sincerity was apparent by the inclusion of this use in the contract.

    "Let¡¯s sign it, then," they all said after exchanging nces.

    Hum¡ª

    Their respective godly powers emanated out, signifying that the moment any of them broke the contract, their respective godly powers would be removed.

    Bang!

    A terrifying radiance swirled around. The officiating of the contract began. s, as the radiance of the contract swirled about, Thomas and the rest felt like something was wrong. The color of this godly power...

    Was the Luck Goddess a dishonest god? The answer was yes. However, regardless of her nature, her godly power had always been that of a majestic gold. Yet now, the radiance being emanated out of this contract was purple... a rather sinister-looking purple.

    "Something seems wrong."

    Wu Liang was startled. Just as he was about to withdraw his godly power from this contract...

    Shua!

    Radiance swirled about and instantlypleted the signing ceremony.

    Hum¡ª

    On the contract, radiance swirled about before leaving behind a shining purple imprint, an imprint acting as the witness of thepletion of the signing of this contract. Wu Liang and the rest gave the imprint a nce, and instantly, they all bore the expression of people that had eaten a mouthful of poop. That imprint was in fact the insignia of the Misfortune Goddess!

    "Misfortune..."

    They looked at it, on the verge of copsing.

    Why? Why was it the imprint of Misfortune Goddess?

    They all nked. They looked over at Chen Feng. Looking at his calm expression, their hearts chilled. Could it be that all along, Chen Feng had been a user of the Misfortune Goddess¡¯s power? No, back then, he had obviously been a user of the power of luck! They were thoroughly dumbfounded.

    Perhaps they had guessed wrong?

    Wu Liang gulped and cautiously probed, "Erm... Chen Feng, this contract... looks like a contract of the Misfortune Goddess?"

    Chen Feng spoke calmly. "Yeah, it is indeed her contract."

    Thump.

    Their hearts trembled.

    Wu Liang cautiously probed, "Erm... but you and the Luck Goddess..."

    "That was in the past." Chen Feng gazed at the sky with a sullen expression before sighing deeply. "Unfortunately, we broke up."

    They were all dumbstruck. "Bro... broke up?"

    You not only got together with a god, you even broke up with her? Hold on, if he truly broke up with her, then their rtionship...

    "Sigh." Chen Feng had a bitter and hateful expression. "I never expected that her love for me would turn into hatred... Sigh. It is all my fault for being way too outstanding a person... For both the Luck Goddess and Misfortune Goddess to fall in love with me at the same time..." Chen Feng let out a bitter smile. "Although the Luck Goddess is indeed very adorable and petite, after thinking about it for a long time, I ultimately decided that I still prefer the hot and sexy elder-sister types... That near perfect body, that gentle disposition, she is my true love," Chen Feng said with a loving expression on his face.

    Wu Liang was dumbstruck. Thomas and the rest were dumbstruck as well. Holy shit, what in the world? As they carefully recalled the appearances of the Luck Goddess and the Misfortune Goddess, their hearts ached terribly. In short, not only had he gotten together with the Luck Goddess, he had also subsequently kicked her aside because her chest was too t?

    They were all stupefied. It seemed like Chen Feng was merely bbering nonsense. However, as they pondered what he had said, everything seemed right. Only this could exin why, as a user of the power of luck, he was now a user of the power of misfortune.

    This was truly... too melodramatic! They started panicking. What caused their hearts to ache so badly was the fact that this time, they had chosen the wrong camp yet again! No matter what, in this new era, the Luck Goddess was the first to awaken. This signified that she already had the advantage and could very well grow into the strongest god. That was the reason they had decided to follow Chen Feng. Unexpectedly...

    What a scam! They were too tired to even berate their fate. Why in the world was this bastard tricking them all the time? This was too excessive!

    "I..."

    Wealthy Zhao wanted to scold him, but he couldn¡¯t find the words to do so. *ss? B*itch? B*stard? Whatever he could use, he had already done so. For him, a man of culture, this was his limit. Would he have to descend to calling Chen Feng a big baddie instead?

    Wealthy Zhao sighed. They had initially believed that this time, they had, in the river of time, boarded a huge battleship sailing forth into the sunshine. Unexpectedly, they had been tricked onto a little boat that could sink at any time.

    Wu Liang still had a trace of hope within him. "Erm. Since Misfortune Goddess couldmunicate with you, has she recovered?"

    Chen Feng sighed endlessly. "Nope. She still needs to recover her godly power. It hasn¡¯t been easy for me to deal with her."

    "True."

    They nodded, as they found this reasonable. Subsequently, though, their expressions sank. Screw this, in short, the Misfortune Goddess had yet to recover her godly power? They had actually boarded such a damaged boat? This was too excessive!

    Even the usually steadfast Wealthy Zhao was nearly losing control from his anger. "Chen Feng! You..." This scammer...

    "Calm down." Chen Feng coughed. "Don¡¯t worry. There will still be bread and butter, and despite the difficulty level, the future will still be beautiful."

    The four looked at him coldly. "Since you are treating us this way, do not me us..." The contract worked on both sides. Since Chen Feng had scammed them, he could not me them if they started ying tricks as well. However, at this moment...

    Suddenly, Sakata Chuunibyou recalled something. "Hold on. The contract of a god!"

    Although they had indeed signed the contract, if their memories served right...

    Shua!

    They exchanged nces and took a look at the contract. When they got a clear look at the contents, their hearts chilled. In the contract, it was stated that if Chen Feng broke the contract, his link with the Luck Goddess would be severed.

    Hold on...

    Luck Goddess? Weren¡¯t they already enemies now? In short, this contract...

    Chen Feng had an expression of shame. "I¡¯m sorry. I tricked you guys." However, this only remained momentarily before he said, "However, with your intelligence, it is way too dangerous to stay solo out there. Just follow me around for a bit."

    Their expressions darkened. "..." Finally, they understood the prowess of shamelessness.

    Looking at their furious expressions, he decided to give them some time to calm down and think about this. "Cough. For now, take a good rest at the Gic Union." He was confident that with his sincerity, kindness, and, to a lesser extent, the contract, they would be able to gain enlightenment and make the correct choice.

    Mhm...

    Yes, they would. And thus, after leaving behind somemands, Chen Feng returned to his own room.

    "With this, I do not need to worry about the Gic Union for now," he told himself. With those four, he was confident that the Gic Union would not suffer any disasters for the time being. The deputy president would be able to make use of them nicely. Even if other resonators started creating trouble, with these four, the Gic Union would be able to stabilize the situation.

    He sighed deeply. "Then... I only have one more problem to solve." This issue concerning the Gic Union wasn¡¯t a particrly major one. For him, the true problem had always been the power of misfortune. At first, the pen had intended to fuse with Chen Feng, providing him power unconditionally, exactly the same as the Fate Stone had done way earlier. However, after his experience with the Luck Goddess, Chen Feng understood clearly that the power gained from others could be easily retrieved at any time as well.

    After thinking about it for a long time, as well as consulting with Duma, he had decided to employ a contract.

    First, the consciousness of the Misfortune Goddess would not be allowed to enter his body.

    Second, the Misfortune Goddess would offer up to Chen Fengplete authority over her godly power.

    The only thing Chen Feng needed to do was restore the Misfortune Goddess¡¯s godhood before the awakening of all other gods. Otherwise, the contract would deem Chen Feng to have failed his part in the contract and he would have to pay a terrifying price. If he seeded...

    He would be free to choose if he wanted to be a believer of the Misfortune Goddess, continuing to borrow the power of misfortune. Or he could choose to give up on the power of misfortune and be a free man. This was a contract Chen Feng had offered the goddess. He had initially prepared for a series of negotiations, but unexpectedly, the Misfortune Goddess had directly agreed.

    Hum¡ª

    The power of misfortune swirled around his hands. Rows of translucent seals flickered into existence. If a resonator saw this scene, they would be shocked to see that this was in fact an advanced version of the contract of a god. Not only that, this was a contract only a god could sign. Mere possession of godly power was insufficient to sign this contract. Only a true god could sign it.

    This was the contract they had signed, and the moment it had been signed, Chen Feng had be equivalent to the spokesperson of the Misfortune Goddess. Not only that, as he could also use the true power of misfortune, a supreme godly power.

    This was in fact no different than being a substitute god. At the exact moment they had signed the contract, Chen Feng had understood why the Misfortune Goddess had agreed to the contract without hesitation. At present, she was truly too weak, unimaginably weak.

    How could one describe this? In the corrected history timeline, she had been following Chen Feng since his infancy, serving as a birthmark on his neck. However, for twenty full years, she had never shown herself. With Spirit around, she had never dared show herself. From this, it was apparent how weak she was right now.

    Although after their quarrel¡ªno, their war back then¡ªboth had simrly fallen, in hindsight, it seemed like the Misfortune Goddess had suffered a much more disastrous injury. As for the Luck Goddess, after following Chen Feng, she had been able to upgrade herself several times, recovering without stop.

    How weak was she, exactly?

    Mhm...

    The strength Chen Feng had exhibited to block the godly power of war earlier was already her limit. As such, Chen Feng had had no choice but to resort to trickery.

    "Hey, Old Misfortune, how was my performance?" Chen Feng asked proudly.

    Shua!

    An intense anger emanated from the pen, though it wasn¡¯t clear whether the anger was toward Chen Feng himself or how he had addressed her.

    Chen Feng appearedpletely oblivious. "What are you trying to say? Old Misfortune, when will you be able to form your consciousness into a body? I have heard from the War God and the others that you have a really hot figure..."

    Hum¡ª

    Once again, intense anger emanated out from the pen. She was a god! These words of Chen Feng¡¯s were akin to an insult! This was too excessive!

    "I have no idea what you¡¯re trying to say." Chen Feng looked at the shaking pen, which was shaking like a vibrator, and was truly clueless as to what she was trying to say. Finally, he gave up thinking about it. "Forget it, I will pretend you¡¯re a mute for now," Chen Feng said honestly.

    Pen of Misfortune: "..."

    She remembered how, earlier, when they had been signing the contract, Chen Feng had seemedpletely capable of understanding what she was trying to say. Yet now... This bastard scammer!

    "There, there, time for you to rest. Try recovering your consciousness as soon as possible so we can startmunicating." Chen Feng waved his hand and said generously, "It will not be toote to rain your praises upon my brilliance after your recovery. There is no rush."

    Pen of Misfortune: "..."

    Swish!

    With a sh, she vanished.

    Chen Feng sank into contemtion. Although the Misfortune Goddess was pitifully weak now, the advantage she brought was the supply of a true supreme godly power, rather than the lower tiers of godly powers those resonators were using. If strength was not taken into consideration, the present him was in fact no different than a god.

    Mhm...

    He checked the amount of power of misfortune he had in his body.

    Erm...

    Perhaps, it would be more apt to call him a pseudo-god only capable of a part of what gods were capable of.

    "Misfortune..."

    His hands started glowing. At present, he was way too weak. As such, he had to make use of this power as best as he could.

    "Luck..."

    He had a pensive look on his face. Luck and misfortune were rted to each other. In short, if Chen Feng could be sure of the probability of someone experiencing a misfortune, he could make the probability a reality...

    For example, slot machines.

    He tried it out. This had been a favorite hobby of his in the past. To verify the power of his luck value, he had tried lotteries and slot machines, confirming that Luck Aura indeed worked. And now he needed to test his power of misfortune.

    Mhm...

    As he willed it, slowly, the power of misfortune surged out of him.

    Mhm...

    He bought all the credits avable in the shop and started using the slot machine. Mhm... After over ten thousand attempts, he failed to win even a single prize as the extremely happy slot machine boss looked over his shoulder.

    Chen Feng had a pensive look. "Is this the simplest operation method of misfortune?"

    What if he changed his goal...

    He urged inwardly.

    Shua!

    He switched the target of misfortune from him to the slot machine boss, and next, an astonishing thing happened. For ten-odd attempts in a row, he continuously won the first prize. Instantly, the boss¡¯s expression darkened.

    He wanted to interrupt Chen Feng. "Erm..."

    Chen Feng waved his hand, not allowing the boss to speak. "Shut up."

    Mhm...

    From the looks of it, even though he was using the power of misfortune, he could use this unique method to do what he had done with Luck Aura. There was nearly no difference.

    For example, during battles.

    Misfortune was a power that brought forth all negativities. It was destructive in nature. However, if misfortune was used on his opponent, would it not allow certain abilities with low activation chances to activate? For example, God Punisher?

    In short, anything that was unfavorable for the enemy could happen. Wasn¡¯t this just a different version of Luck Aura, then? Although the minute details of their operation were somewhat different, the final result was the same. At least from an onlooker¡¯s point of view, everything would be the same. Luck and misfortune, twopletely opposite powers with an extremely intimate rtionship.

    "In short, the reverse of misfortune is luck."

    "If used appropriately, misfortune can achieve the same effects as luck. Naturally, obtaining the exact same result will exhaust much more misfortune than luck would have. Simrly, if luck is used appropriately, the same effects as misfortune can be achieved."

    His previous usage of Luck Aura to grant his enemies misfortune had, in effect, been aplishing what misfortune was supposed to aplish. To grant misfortune upon his enemies, a muchrger amount of luck had been required.

    Finally, Chen Feng understood. The power of luck was much better in supportive roles, but if one wished, they could exhaust a huge amount of luck to achieve the same effects of misfortune.

    For example, the apocalypse!

    When numerous coincidences aligned correctly, absolute destruction could be brought forth. As for the power of misfortune, it was good at destruction. However, if one was willing to exhaust a huge amount of misfortune, one could also aplish what luck could.

    For example, unleashing God Punisher.

    His sessful activation of low-probability abilities was in fact a stroke of misfortune for his enemies. Therefore, luck and misfortune could be seen as two different programmingnguages. If one wished to use one programmingnguage to achieve what the other programmingnguage was better at, it would still be possible, but it would take much more effort.

    For example, if one used Java to build an operating system, or if one used C to build a website, and so on.

    "If that¡¯s the case, this is much easier to understand."

    Chen Feng was in agreement with this new hypothesis of his. In fact, during his previous life, he had been a holder of the grade-two certificate of the National Computer Rank Examination. As such, thinking about the powers of luck and misfortune this way made it much easier for him to understand.

    Right now, the power of the Misfortune Goddess was way toocking, at least whenpared to a regr god. It was nearly negligible. In a way, she had even less godly power than a resonator. As such, Chen Feng was not able to set up a proper standard for his current power of misfortune. He had no choice but to set up his own standards, to divide the present total godly power of misfortune by a hundred, treating it as 100 points of misfortune power.

    Even so, the effect of this misfortune power was much better than the luck value he¡¯d had in the past. After his tests, he found that through numerous methods, such as switching the target of the misfortune, he could make himself lucky, such as when buying into lotteries. However, such usages exhausted around three to ten times more power than when he had used his power purely for bringing misfortune. In fact, the reason for this exhaustion was because the exhaustion rate was dependant on the number of targets he switched to achieve the desired "lucky effect." This was, in truth, a ratherplicated process.

    "Therefore, to save the misfortune power, I must try my best to use the misfortune power for what it¡¯s truly best at, rather than using it blindly."

    At this realization, he sank into contemtion. His present power of misfortune was too low in amount. As such, saving it up was necessary.

    After understanding the basic usage method of misfortune, Chen Feng set his sights on his illusory world. The illusory world that had stopped moving after the extraction of luck from him once again started operating as he directed the power of misfortune into it.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint power of misfortune glowed within the world. With this, all his abilities recovered once again. Regardless of whether he could still use luck or not or whether he could still erupt with his strongest might, at the very least, he had finally regained his own power. What he cared about most was in fact...

    Bang!

    He punched out. Within his consciousness, a certain miniature person moved at the same time.

    Bang!

    The might of a level-nine awakened was disyed.

    "I am back."

    Chen Feng was overwhelmed with emotion. After some twists and turns, he had finally regained his strength, and he was even stronger than before. In theing chaos, with his recovered strength, he would be able to stand tall. Coupled with the power of the Misfortune Goddess, he would fear no one. At least, this would be the case until all those resonators recovered.

    "I must increase my strength as quickly as I can."

    He was exceptionally calm. Before the resonators recovered, he had to be stronger. Before those damnable gods awakened, he had to have in his possession an even stronger godly power. He wasn¡¯t too clear on the events of the Primordial Era. However, this time, in this era, he would not allow this world to suffer annihtion.

    With sharp eyes, he vowed that this era... would be his era, the era of Chen Feng! Naturally, before setting forth toward this grand undertaking, he needed to first solve a small issue: his wristband had been spoiled. This thing that was supposed to be impossible to destroy had actually been broken by him. This caused even him to be speechless.

    Was I in too intense a fight recently? he wondered. And thus, he requested a new wristband from the Gic Union. Next, his new wristband broke as well!

    He frowned,pletely confused.

    Was he so unlucky that he got several defective products in a row? He refused to believe that such a coincidence actually existed. The quality of the Stormtech Company¡¯s products was rather high.

    "Well, I might as well buy a new one with my own money."

    He spent his own money and bought a new one.

    Mhm...

    Shortly afterward, the new wristband broke as well. This truly rendered him speechless. He gazed at his broken wristband and had could vaguely guess what had happened. And thus, once again, he bought a new wristband. As expected, it broke yet again.

    "What the hell?"

    He rolled his eyes. Without needing to even think, he knew what the issue was.

    "There, there, Old Misfortune, even if you are unhappy with me, you do not need to take such petty revenge on me, right? In our grand undertaking of bing stronger, the assistance of others is still required. As such, these wristbands can¡¯t keep getting broken, right? This will dy our undertaking. Can we stop ying around like this?" Chen Feng advised earnestly. And then he bought a new wristband.

    Ka!

    Once again, it broke.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    "Are you perhaps unhappy with the title I have given you?" Chen Feng asked with a sigh.

    Misfortune Goddess: "..." So you are aware that the title you gave me is way too unpleasant to hear?

    "Fine, I won¡¯t call you Old Misfortune. How about I call you Old Fortune? No, that¡¯s no good. It seems to sh with luck... How about... Dearest Misfortune? Little Misfortune?" Chen Feng asked after giving it some thought.

    Misfortune Goddess: "..."

    This guy was truly mental.

    Chen Feng admitted defeat. "Fine, fine, Lord Goddess," Chen Feng said respectfully. "Is this respectful enough, o noble Lord Goddess?" And then he bought a new wristband.

    Ka!

    It broke again. This time, he was truly stupefied.

    "Even Lord Goddess won¡¯t work?" Chen Feng¡¯s head ached. "What the hell? Lord Goddess, can we talk this out? Can you not act impetuously like some teenage girl? Fine, I forgot that goddesses are, after all, female. I take that back. Sorry."

    Misfortune Goddess: "..."

    Her consciousness, residing within the pen, watched this amusing scene.

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "I am truly helpless now." He had tried numerous methods yet was incapable of getting his wristbands to stop breaking.

    His head ached. "This won¡¯t do..." Finally, he understood that despite how weak she was, the Misfortune Goddess was still a god, an existence one could not provoke easily. Look, slight unhappiness on her part was already sufficient to cause one¡¯s head to ache greatly.

    Chen Feng gave up. "Forget it." He went over to the ancient race and asked for an ability capable of transmitting messages through long distance as a substitute. Before they had started using the wristbands, these abilities had been the ancients¡¯ mainmunication method. With this, this incident ended.

    During this period, Thomas¡¯s group had also considered properly and had ultimately decided to join the Gic Union, thus starting a busy new life. As for Chen Feng, he was working hard on getting better at controlling the power of misfortune.

    Everything seemed to be progressing smoothly... until a few dayster, when a gold radiance suddenly engulfed the entire world, a terrifying godly power rippling everywhere. Nearly every resonator raised their head, looking in the direction the gold hade from.

    "That damnable Luck Goddess is creating trouble again!"

    At a certain location.

    Kong Bai loudly howled at a ball of light in his hand, "Hello, hello, hello, can you hear me?"

    "Not too clearly," a faint, unclear roar replied from the ball of light.

    Kong Bai¡¯s expression darkened. "Hell." What damnable thing was this? So this was the ancient race¡¯s voice transmitter? What in the world? Did the ancients believe that humans had throats as powerful as theirs? Talking with this so-called "phone" was no different than wailing.

    Intermittent howls were transmitted through the ball. "You... stand higher... Maybe... signal... poor..."

    Fine.

    Kong Bai looked around and, with a leap, reached the top of a huge 10-meter-tall tree. This was the tallest tree in his vicinity.

    "Hello, hello?" Kong Bao howled. "Can you hear me now?"

    The voice being transmitted became clearer. "Somewhat better. What were you trying to say earlier?"

    Kong Bai nked. "Let me think..." After howling at the ball of light for such a long time, he had forgotten what he initially wanted to say. After two whole minutes of thinking, he finally remembered. Right, he had wanted to talk about resonators. Right now, the resonators seemed to be slowly recovering, though they had yet to fully recover.

    A few days ago, they had still been so happy about breaking through into the awakened realm, yet in the blink of an eye, resonators had started appearing one after another, delivering to them a massive blow. Therefore, they had to enter the resonance realm as soon as possible. Regardless of whether it was Kong Bai, Xu Fei, or the others, they all had the same opinion. Doing otherwise would be no different than sitting around and waiting for death.

    "Resonance..." On the other end, Chen Feng sank into contemtion as well. During the Primordial Era, those resonators had all been peak awakened ones who resonated with gods to enter the resonance realm. But in this era... there were no other gods. If one truly wanted to reach resonance, one could only resonate with the Luck Goddess. After thinking about it, Chen Feng discovered how terrifying this could be. In short, during this period of time, they had to not break through before the other gods recovered.

    "You guys should try to reach the peak of the awakened realm first, but remember to not enter the resonance realm. Even if breaking through is possible, do not do it," Chen Feng reminded them.

    Kong Bai was confused. "Why is that?"

    "Because... at this time, the Luck Goddess is the only god in existence," Chen Feng said with a sigh.

    Kong Bai sank into silence.

    Luck Goddess... After the disturbance earlier, they were all naturally aware of what had happened to Chen Feng. If it was the Luck Goddess...

    Kong Bai looked pensively at the wave of gold that was surging out in the distance. "Then, this time..."

    Chen Feng shook his head. "That¡¯s right. This is the work of the Luck Goddess again."

    "I understand now." Kong Bai finally understood thoroughly. A war between the gods woulde in the future. They currently had no way of getting involved in it, as they were too weak. The only thing they could do was not enter the resonance realm so as to not cause further trouble to Chen Feng and the others. As for the fate of this world, well, it would depend on the results of this world. After ending the call with Chen Feng, Kong Bai ryed what Chen Feng had said to Xu Fei and the others that were in a rush to breakthrough.

    When they heard this, they all sank into silence. Wait? Wait for other gods to recover? Could they even afford to wait?

    Xu Fei was the first to stand up. "I cannot ept this." Even with the present state of the world, they could only watch on and wait for the final result? He was naturally unwilling to ept this. If they were to wait until the other gods recovered to enter resonance, it would be toote.

    Qin Hai sighed. "Well, it is the same for us." He had once been the Mysterious Organization¡¯s leader, one of the strongest existences in the world. Now that he was reduced to a mere side character, he was naturally unwilling to ept it.

    Suddenly, Kong Bai recalled an old friend. "How about Wang Chun?" It had been quite a while since they hadst met.

    "Oh." Qin Hai pondered before saying, "Spending time with his harem, I suppose?"

    Everyone: "..."

    Harem... Oh, right, Wang Chun¡¯s ability.

    "He is the man with a harem during a chaotic era. What a guy."

    Xu Fei was filled with envy. The rest felt the same.

    Suddenly, Qin Hai thought of something. "About Wang Chun... I seem to have heard Master say that, a short while ago, he could feel godly power emanating from the area Wang Chun was in. Based on Master¡¯s guess, that was probably the power of the Nether God, yet there was a slight difference as well."

    "What?"

    Everyone¡¯s expression changed. Nether God?

    "That youngdy!"

    Suddenly, they recalled that iparably tyrannical girl in Wang Chun¡¯s harem: Ming Yue. They could seemingly remember this girl saying that she had been a god in her original world.

    "Originally, the limit of this world was beyond A ss. Therefore, even after entering this world, Ming Yue was too weak. Now, though, with the lifting of the limit, that youngdy can use her godly power here in this world?"

    All of them were shocked. If that was the case, that Wang Chun...

    Qin Hai nodded. "That¡¯s right. It is quite possible that he entered that world to inherit the power of the Nether God."

    Hiss¡ª

    They all inhaled a mouthful of cold air in shock. This Wang Chun guy had been missing with his harem for quite a while. They had all thought that the next time they saw him, he would be weakened from overexercising. Unexpectedly, this guy had actually silently surpassed them all.

    Godly power...

    They allmented. That world belonged to Wang Chun alone. As such, he alone could enter.

    Suddenly, Xu Fei stood up. "I am leaving. Even Wang Chun found his own way to obtain godly power. I will not sit in my home waiting for death. In this era, I must have my own strength as well."

    He had decided to go look for his own fortuitous encounter. Recently, since an indeterminate point in time, a dream-like voice seemed to have appeared in his heart, seemingly calling out to him. As time passed, that voice was getting clearer and clearer. This time, he had to take a look at what this voice was all about!

    Qin Hai stood up as well. "Same here." He was the disciple of Duma, the person with the best informationwork in the world. He believed that his master would most definitely have a way for him to obtain godly power, even if it would be extremely difficult.

    Kong Bai smiled calmly. "Looks like we have all decided." He was a transmigrator. His future was not one anyone could dictate. Since, in this era, the gods had yet to awaken, he would traverse time itself and return to the primordial. He believed that in that unique era, he would be able to find his very own fortuitous encounter, even if it would be extremely dangerous.

    ...

    The Forest Goddess. She had been one of the strongest gods in the Primordial Era. She had been the right hand of the Luck Goddess the whole time. She had possessed valiant strength, and in their defeat during the god war back then, she had also entered a slumber. This was the information Chen Feng had recently obtained. Evidently, this Luck Goddess, the first god to awaken, was recovering her underlings as well.

    Thomas sighed. "What we fear most has still happened." If it were any other god, it would be fine, as the god would have to slowly recover even after waking up. However, the first god just had to be the Luck Goddess. With her unique power, if she wanted to cause certain gods to wake up first, it would be much easier. And this was precisely what she was doing.

    Thomas smiled bitterly. "She will wake them up one by one, then organize them. By the time the other gods wake up, the Luck Goddess and her fellow gods will surround and kill them..."

    Chen Feng had a pensive look. Doing what the Gic Union is doing to the awakened ones?

    Didi¡ª

    Thomas¡¯s group¡¯smunicators buzzed. Chen Feng nced over, and his face darkened immediately. These resonators had all adapted well to this new modern era and had started using these tools of convenience. On the other hand, he...

    He gazed at his empty wrist. Earlier, after howling into the ball tomunicate with Kong Bai, he had almost ruined his throat. He finally understood why, regardless of gender, the ancients¡¯ voices were always so rough.

    I wonder if their voices are so rough in all circumstance... For instance, when Tianyu Liming and the president are doing it... Huh, what am I thinking about here?

    He coughed, stopping his messy thoughts.

    Suddenly, Thomas¡¯s group became agitated. "Good."

    Chen Feng looked over. "What good news have you guys received?"

 Chapter 715: Salt Lake

    Chapter 715: Salt Lake

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Thomas¡¯s eyes shone. "The resonators have decided to join hands. The awakening of the Forest Goddess will require time. With the Luck Goddess exhausting her strength to help the Forest Goddess awaken before she herself is fully recovered, she will be further weakened. We are nning to use this opportunity to interrupt the awakening and send the Forest Goddess back into slumber."

    Chen Feng was somewhat speechless. "That works?"

    "Of course."

    Thomas and the rest were agitated. A group of resonators fighting the Luck Goddess, just imagining this scene was sufficient to cause excitement.

    Chen Feng poured cold water on their boiling blood. "You guys are not allowed to go."

    Thomas¡¯s eyes widened. "Why?"

    Chen Feng sneered. "Are you going there just to throw your life away?"

    "How is that throwing my life away?" Thomas could not ept this. "With so many of us resonators, there is no need to fear the Luck Goddess. Moreover, this is a weakened Luck Goddess who has exhausted her strength trying to awaken the Forest Goddess. Not only interrupting, if possible, I trust they will even want to..." Thomas¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly as he said, "...y a god!"

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Ridiculous." These idiotic fools had no idea how powerful the gods were, especially the Luck Goddess.

    Thomas shrugged. "I know that it is not possible. Therefore, I only intended to interrupt the awakening ritual." He trusted that a mere weakened Luck Goddess would not be able to withstand the onught of so many resonators.

    Chen Feng sneered. "That is indeed how things seem. However, are you sure that all the resonators are truly united?"

    Thomas¡¯s eyes widened. "Huh? What other choice do they have?"

    Chen Feng gazed in the direction of the surging gold. "How stupid. Have you never considered the possibility that not all the resonators intend to interrupt the ritual? I am not sure what the situation was during the Primordial Era. But in this new era, the Luck Goddess was the first god to awaken."

    "What¡¯s so special about being the first..." Halfway through his sentence, Thomas gained understanding. True, she had been the first god to awaken.

    This time, the people looking for her would not consist solely of those trying to interrupt her. There would also be quite a number of people who wanted to serve her. As such, at that time...

    Thomas inhaled a mouthful of cold air in shock. "It will instead be a chaotic war between fellow resonators?" When that happened, with what the Luck Goddess was capable of, she would only need to lightly provoke them using what she was best at and she would be able to cause all the resonators to mutually annihte each other without even showing her face. Or perhaps... she could use her power to ensure that those who were against her would die in the fight.

    Thomas¡¯s heart chilled. "Holy shit." He exchanged nces with Wealthy Zhao, realizing that they had indeed underestimated how terrifying the Luck Goddess was. They had especially neglected how good she was at toying with the emotions of people. Facing the other gods, they would only need to consider theirbat power, but facing the Luck Goddess... They all smiled bitterly.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Therefore, you guys don¡¯t need to join in. In any case, the result would only be your deaths. Let others go mess around there."

    Wealthy Zhao guessed something from Chen Feng¡¯s words. "Are you going?"

    Chen Feng smiled. "Of course. I am the man of the Misfortune Goddess. It has been quite a while since Ist meet the Luck Goddess... In fact, I quite miss her."

    "Hehehehe."

    Thomas and the rest merelyughed dryly at Chen Feng¡¯s stupid dramatic reaction. Ultimately, it was decided that Thomas and the rest would stay at the Gic Union. As for Chen Feng and nearly all the resonators worldwide, they swarmed toward the site of the Forest Goddess¡¯s awakening.

    ...

    At a certain saltke. This was the area nearest to that awakening site. Arge number of resonators were already here looking toward the flickering gold, as a formidable power seemed to being into being there.

    "When the gold radiance is at its most intense, that will be our time to attack."

    "Understood."

    "As for the route to take, go through the saltke."

    "Can¡¯t we go directly instead?"

    "No, since the Luck Goddess has decided to do such a dangerous thing, she has certainly sealed the route nearby. How could she allow easy entry? To enter, this is the only possible route."

    "Why did she not seal this saltke as well?"

    "Theke is too big. Hehe, the Luck Goddess¡¯s power is limited. If she truly sealed theke as well, her seal would probably be pitifully weak. Any random resonator would be capable of breaking through it."

    "Do we enter now?"

    Some resonators were able to see through the general situation with a single look. It was quite simple. To enter the site of the awakening, they only needed to go through thiske, this uniqueke whose surface was as clear as a mirror.

    "The Luck Goddess will probably have some traps set around here. She is, after all, still a god..."

    "With how weakened she is, so what if she is a god?"

    Some were filled with vignce, whereas some were sneering. In the first ce, themunity of resonators was a chaotic one. All resonators were lone rangers. Even now, when they had all gathered together for amon interest, they each had their own personal agenda.

    As for Chen Feng, he merely watched on silently. Two goddesses and countless resonators... This would be quite the interesting trip. This was indeed an immense saltke. However, if they went through it in a straight line, the distance wouldn¡¯t be too far. However, if the Luck Goddess had indeed done something here with her godly power, things might turn out rather scary.

    Due to some coincidences, a huge number of people would encounter mishaps here at theke. For a regr person, this was merely misfortune. In her present weakened state, would she waste her power to create misfortune, a domain she did not specialize in? No, she would not. At present, she didn¡¯t have much godly power left. Even with several hundred million luck value, after transforming it into godly power, it wouldn¡¯t amount to much.

    Furthermore, she still needed to awaken the Forest Goddess. As such, she would definitely not waste her godly power easily. If so, this saltke... Chen Feng narrowed his eyes as he thought of a possibility. He suddenly recalled his experiences during his younger days. After having his luck sucked dry by the Fate Stone, his life had be incredibly difficult. Numerous unfortunate incidents had kept happening to him as the Fate Stone had replenished its power without stop.

    "In short, the Luck Goddess is nning to absorb their luck."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart thumped as he realized this. However, the w in doing this was rather obvious.

    First, she would not be able to absorb much luck even with this. This was clear from how it had taken her twenty years of absorbing luck from Chen Feng to be able to activate the Fate Stone.

    Second, even without their luck, these resonators wouldn¡¯t be affected much. Perhaps they would suffer from some bad luck. However, it would not be able to threaten them. After all, if not having any luck was truly life threatening, Chen Feng would have truly died for real all those years ago.

    Therefore, despite having had his luck sucked dry, despite the absolute bad luck he had suffered, Chen Feng had still been able to live on tenaciously. Would such a weak effect be useful against resonators? Nope.

    "Unless..."

    Chen Feng looked at thiske. Unless thiske was already an extremely dangerous ce in the first ce, a ce where, with a tiny bit of effect from luck, death woulde knocking. Chen Feng had a deep understanding of the power of luck. If this was truly the case, the Luck Goddess would only need a tiny bit power of luck to kill everyone here. Naturally, those that were able to luckily escape the cmity could very well be those who were willing to serve her.

    Chen Feng was filled with admiration. "Worthy of being the Luck Goddess indeed." With her first step, she would kill off a big portion of these resonators. With her second step, she would cause internal strife among the survivors. Ultimately, perhaps not a single one would be able to survive to see her. How deep the Luck Goddess¡¯s schemes went was apparent here. Of course, all this was without taking Chen Feng into consideration. But now, with Chen Feng here...

    Chen Feng smiled toyingly. "Hehe." It was truly unfortunate for the Luck Goddess that he was now the master of misfortune.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng stared ahead. It would be quite easy if he wanted to allow these people to cross thiske. He trusted that the power of misfortune would be able to counteract the power of luck, making the world a beautiful ce. However, this was not his goal. Stopping the awakening of the Forest Goddess was only his secondary goal. What Chen Feng truly wanted was to make use of this incident and this ce to grow.

    Chapter 716: May the Goddess Be with You

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the saltke, as the gold radiance surged to its peak intensity, the resonators started moving out. Cautiously, they traversed the saltke. Slowly, they moved above the mirror-likeke surface. Surprisingly, they did not encounter any danger.

    "Huh? One can actually step on the surface of theke?"

    "It seems like we won¡¯t sink..."

    "In any case, be extra careful."

    "Some people are trying to fly over. They seem perfectly fine up there."

    "Hehe, the moment everyone loosens up will be their moment of death."

    "True."

    They continued on, maintaining their vignce. At this time, the Luck Goddess, who was opposite the saltke, took a glimpse at them and felt somewhat odd. This should not be the case. She had obviously absorbed all their luck. At this time, shouldn¡¯t these fellows be allpletely unlucky?

    In fact, this application of bad luck was rather simr to HIV. Usually, minor diseases like themon cold weremon and nonfatal, but the moment one was infected with HIV, all these minor diseases would be extremely fatal. As such, once she had absorbed all their luck, every single thing these people had done could very well bring them the utmost disaster. This was especially true since they were all traversing this dangerous saltke.

    After all, this was her specially selected recovery site. However, why was nothing happening yet? The Luck Goddess was filled with doubt.

    The Luck Goddess looked at those cautious resonators and wondered, "Is it because these resonators are all too cautious?" That might be the case. After all, they were all resonators possessing godly power. As such, it wouldn¡¯t be too easy for them to suffer from bad luck.

    "Mhm... Perhaps I can expend a bit of godly power on them."

    The Luck Goddess understood clearly that this would be effectively the final straw that copsed the camel. She would only need to use a tiny bit of her luck power to cause these damnable bugs topletely copse.

    Shua!

    She wriggled her finger slightly. A faint radiance emanated out. Luck power, activate!

    Hum¡ª

    Gold enveloped her. At this time, all the resonators were still advancing cautiously. Chen Feng, however, was noiselessly approaching a pale resonator. He had had his attention on this resonator for quite a while. Look at that pale face, one look and anyone would know that he wascking in stamina... Mhm, no, one look and anyone would know that he was too nervous. What did this signify? This signified that he did not quite wish to participate in this encirclement at all. Chen Feng had seen way too many of such unwilling participants in the past.

    There would always be those events that, nominally, people were free to decide whether or not to participate in. Nevertheless, if one truly decided to not participate, one would face the scorn of others. As such, one would still be ultimately forced to participate unwillingly. Mhm... Surprisingly, this was true even for themunity of resonators. These unwilling participants would be the perfect target for Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng approached him noiselessly. "Hey, bro."

    "..." That person looked at Chen Feng coldly before saying. "I am not interested in guys."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    What a humorous resonator.

    "What do you think of the Forest Goddess¡¯s awakening ritual?" Chen Feng asked faintly.

    That personughed. "Hehe, same as everyone else."

    "Hehe." Chen Feng smiled and stared ahead into the distance. "Do you know what ce is this? If one wishes to pass through this saltke... With some bad luck, it is extremely easy to die here. Mhm... This will be quite true for the enemies of the Luck Goddess." Seeing this guy¡¯s expression change slightly, Chen Feng pointed ahead. "Look at that person..."

    There, a certain resonator was flying at a low altitude.

    "What do you think will happen if the Luck Goddess decides that he should be the unlucky one?" Chen Feng asked calmly. At the same time, he silently stopped absorbing misfortune from that person and even returned the misfortune he had previously absorbed from that person to him.

    Bang!

    Suddenly, theke surface below that person cracked.

    Pop!

    With a loud sound, a huge mutated life-form shot out of theke and swallowed that person in a single gulp.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone inhaled a mouthful of cold breath in shock.

    "That... a monster at the peak of the awakened realm?"

    "Holy shit."

    "The monsters here are already this strong?"

    Everyone was horrified. A monster at the awakened realm would normally possess strength greater than the resonators here. If they had all recovered their original strength, they naturally wouldn¡¯t fear it. However, at present, they were weak enough that these peak-level awakened monsters could insta-kill them. This was especially true for these terrifying monsters with unique builds that one could not measure withmon sense.

    Chen Feng gave a profound smile. "See..." The heart of the person he was facing chilled. How would there be such a coincidence? The moment Chen Feng spoke of that person, that person was gone?

    "Hehe." Noiselessly, Chen Feng handed over a small card. "This is the contract of a god. Do take a good look at it."

    "Huh?"

    That person flipped the card open, and instantly, his expression changed greatly. On the card, the Luck Goddess¡¯s n was written. The first step was to recruit resonators. As for her second step, those unwilling to submit would die... Mhm, an example was the earlier fellow.

    That person was horrified. "You are..."

    Chen Feng smiled happily. "Let me introduce myself. I am Wang Feng, the spokesperson of Luck Goddess."

    "Luck Goddess..." Finally, that person¡¯s expression changed greatly. At the same time they had all joined hands to go against her, she had actually nted spies within them? Was this not horrifying?

    "You are not the first, nor will you be thest," Chen Feng said calmly. He looked at that person. "Therefore, tell me your choice."

    That person chilled as he heard this. Did this not signify that within this group of resonators, this person was not the only follower of the Luck Goddess? If there were also others... with those they had recruited included...

    "That person was recruited earlier." Chen Feng looked at where that resonator used to be and smiled profoundly. "He disagreed. Hence, he had to die."

    The resonator¡¯s heart chilled as he heard this. In the first ce, he wasn¡¯t particrly firm in his will to go against the Luck Goddess. After all, the affairs of the Primordial Era were way too far in the past. For them, the resonators of minor gods, it truly did not affect them much.

    He looked at Chen Feng and sighed deeply. "What should I do?"

    Chen Feng smiled mysteriously. "Very simple. Sign the contract of a god. Trust me, following our noble Lord God, you will be part of the first faction, the strongest faction, in this new era. You will definitely not regret this."

    Shua!

    Noiselessly, the two finished signing the contract. Naturally, this brother here did not notice that the god written on the contract was "Lord God we all believe in and resonate with."

    That person stared nkly at Chen Feng. "Done, just like that?"

    Chen Feng patted his shoulder. "Of course. Congrattions on bing part of us. Mhm, for the subsequent journey, with the care of Luck Goddess, you will not have to worry about anything. However, during the final battle, you guys will need to contribute."

    He nodded. "Understood." Since he had already made his choice, he would not regret it.

    His decision to follow after the Luck Goddess wasn¡¯t because of these few words this Wang Feng had spoken. Rather, after taking everything into consideration, including the sess of this awakening ritual... The Luck Goddess¡¯s camp would have two gods before any of the other gods awakened. Such a superiority wasn¡¯t one that could be overtaken easily.

    "Very good." Chen Feng feigned an indifferent expression and asked, "Now then, based on your understanding, which of these fellows here is also uncertain about this mission and would be willing to be ourpanion?"

    "There are indeed some such people here," that person replied.

    Chen Feng smiled emotionally and said, "Excellent. May the goddess be with you."

    Chapter 717: Bro, Give Me a Chance

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Within the forest, the Luck Goddess was looking at the saltke with doubt. Those annoying resonators were shrinking their distance to her. Naturally, that was not the main issue. The main issue was that, so far, only one of them had died. She had absorbed all of their luck and had even used her luck power to deliver them misfortune, but only one had died.

    This was rather horrifying. She knew that these resonators had all awakened quite a bit earlier than her and had rather formidable godly powers. However, regardless of how powerful they had be, they were still mere resonators.

    The Luck Goddess sighed. "Have I underestimated them?" It looked like trying to kill them with the dangers of theke would not work. In that case, she would have to do it the traditional way, by causing internal strife. She believed that these fellows were definitely not of one mind. She shut both her eyes and sensed the godly power of luck she had plundered from Chen Feng earlier. This amount would be sufficient to achieve what she intended.

    Shua!

    Her hands started glowing. At this time, on the saltke, Chen Feng¡¯s n was progressing smoothly as well. With the assistance of his newrades, the number of people he had recruited kept increasing. He had forcefully dug out a hole in this anti¨CLuck Goddess alliance.

    "You want to gain more understanding of the Luck Goddess?"

    "Hehe, our group is rather packed with people now..."

    "That is true!"

    "So I heard your Lord God is one that is quite friendly with the Luck Goddess?"

    "Are you interested in being part of the strongest primordial faction?"

    "Hehe. I am the spokesperson of the Luck Goddess..."

    Chen Feng traversed amid the group of people. However, as he got in contact with more and more people, there was finally a time where, before he could finish his discussion with a certain resonator, that resonator shouted, "Bastard, so you are actually the follower of that slut Luck Goddess!"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He checked the record he had on his hand and could onlyment that this was quite the scam.

    From the record he had obtained from that little bastard earlier, this fellow should be a resonator of a god extremely friendly with the Luck Goddess? At this shout, the others who, Chen Feng had yet tomunicate with, grew alert.

    "What?"

    "How?"

    "So there is a follower of the Luck Goddess creating trouble here?"

    "Courting death!"

    "Kill him."

    Countless people stood up in anger with a vast momentum. As for those who had signed the contract with Chen Feng, they walked out at this time as well.

    "Try touching him?"

    "Hehe, a new era ising. Who still cares about the primordial?"

    "In this era, the Luck Goddess is the number one expert."

    "Yeah."

    "How idiotic..."

    The group around Chen Feng all sneered. It was also at this point that those people realized that from an indeterminate time, an alliance for the Luck Goddess had been established. This was truly dreadful.

    "You guys are courting death!"

    The others were furious. The reason they hade here was to deal with the Luck Goddess, yet this had happened instead. As for the person pushing for this anti¨CLuck Goddess alliance, Zhou Ye, he felt iparably insulted at this moment.

    "You all..."

    Zhou Ye¡¯s heart was raging with fury. He was rtively strong among the resonators and was the organizer of this alliance. The only reason he had even worked so hard was because his god had been killed by the Luck Goddess back then. Naturally, gods did not die for real. However, because of that bitter battle, even after awakening, his god would not be able to recover his original strength.

    This was the harshest of punishments for a god. Therefore, Zhou Ye had taken the initiative to contact everyone and go against the Luck Goddess, to avenge his god. Moreover, there were quite a few resonators with the same opinion as him. Some of them were those whose gods were enemies of the Luck Goddess, while some merely did not wish to see the Luck Goddess be the strongest god of this era.

    In short, for various reasons, they had all gathered together. Yet now... They were only getting started, yet these people had already betrayed him.

    "Ka! Ka!"

    Zhou Ye clenched his fists tightly, godly power emanating out from his hands.

    Zhou Ye was furious. "You all... deserve death!"

    Those around him were furious as well. Looking at the resonators around Chen Feng, they said, "Since this has happened, let us first kill you all!"

    "Come at me! Who¡¯s scared?"

    "You bunch of idiots. Do you guys not realize who will be your biggest patron in the future? Waiting for your gods to wake up? Yeah, sure, I am sure it will not be toote then."

    "Idiots."

    Those around Chen Feng said, "If anyone else is interested in joining, we will wee you. Do not worry about our enemy¡¯s strength. Don¡¯t forget that we have the Luck Goddess on our side."

    As a result of his words, five or six resonators joined them. With this, the members of both factions were clear for all to see.

    "Good, very good."

    Zhou Ye¡¯s killing intent intensified. Both sides red at each other while boundless godly power started surging around them. A battle seemed to be imminent. In the middle of all this, Chen Feng waspletely confused. He had initially nned to use the name of the Luck Goddess to scam someone. Unexpectedly, this early on, something had already happened.

    What in the world? He was somewhat stupefied. This confusion was further reinforced when he saw how the people around him were all so ferocious, ready to battle at a moment¡¯s notice. This was developing way too fast. Hold on... too fast? Abruptly, Chen Feng thought of something.

    Under normal circumstance, even if both sides were to battle, the battle would not start this fast. Deciding to fight it out right here on the saltke without taking their own benefits into consideration? In such a dangerous location? There was only one possibility for this: Luck Aura was working its magic!

    Finally, Chen Feng understood. It had to be the power of luck. After being agitated by their own emotions, these people were neglecting the truth that should have been easily discovered. Under the effect of the power of luck, they had all started tearing at each other.

    "Hold on!" Chen Feng howled, interrupting them.

    Instinctively, everyone looked at him. "Mhm?"

    "It is fine if you guys want a fight. However, can I be given a chance to say something?" Chen Feng said with a smile. "See, we all fight for our own goals. You guys are all well aware of how dangerous this saltke is. Therefore, before the battle, give me a chance. If I can fulfill your goals before the battle, perhaps this battle can be avoided? Am I right? Look... I know that back then, the Luck Goddess did a lot of things that had angered all of you. However, no matter what, that is all in the past. That era has already been buried, and the Luck Goddess has changed greatly as a person. Therefore, if possible, we should establish a new cooperative rtionship. As for what the Luck Goddess did back then, you guys can put forth your requests and I will try my best to fulfill them. What do you guys think?" Chen Feng spoke earnestly. "Trust me, give me a chance to talk this out. I guarantee you all will be satisfied with the result."

    "Hehe." Zhou Ye sneered. Talk? "How ridiculous. Do you know that apart from those swayed by you, everyone else here truly hates the Luck Goddess? Moreover, these people are the true experts, either the followers of gods that were enemies of the Luck Goddess or those whose families perished due to that incident in the Primordial Era. Such hatred is not something you can dissolve."

    Zhou Ye did not think much of Chen Feng¡¯s proposal. In this world, there were a lot of disputes that could not be solved with a mere transaction.

    "Without trying, who knows?" Chen Feng was as sincere as ever. "Perhaps you do not find this agreeable. However, how about those around you? Do you not want to give them a chance? Trust me... If I indeed disappoint, it will not be toote to battle then," Chen Feng said.

    Zhou Ye and the rest exchanged nces before looking around and seeing that some were indeed tempted by this.

    Zhou Ye had no choice but to make apromise. "Fine."

    "One minute per person in a private setting," Chen Feng said with a smile. "Naturally, for safety reasons, you guys can be in charge of the barrier. Trust me, I will give you guys a satisfactory answer."

    "Hehe."

    Zhou Ye and the rest agreed with disdain.

    Zhou Ye was the first to walk out. "Let me be the first to meet you." And thus, under everyone¡¯s eyes, he created a barrier of an independent space in the form of a room. Next, both he and Chen Feng entered to start their negotiations.

    Mhm...

    Only a short one minute would be given.

 Chapter 718: Family Godly Power

    "It seems like you have an intense repulsion toward me," Chen Feng said as he looked at Zhou Ye¡¯s expression.

    "You have 58 seconds left," Zhou Ye said with disdain.

    Chen Feng sighed. "You hate the Luck Goddess so much?"

    "Our grudge is one that ensures we cannot both live under the same sky," Zhou Ye said with a cold gaze. "You all only know that the lord god I resonated with perished under the Luck Goddess¡¯s hands. However, none of you are aware that he was also my father..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes went wide. Dang, there was this inside story? He had originally believed that gods appearing in the mortal realm with numerous identities and fathering numerous kids was something that only happened in the Greek mythology of his previous life. Surprisingly, it existed here as well.

    Zhou Ye gazed at Chen Feng coldly and gloomily said, "I will definitely kill the Luck Goddess. This includes you as well."

    Bang!

    His intense killing intent surged. At this moment, even the others outside the barrier could sense this killing intent.

    "Tsk tsk, Zhou Ye is losing his temper."

    "Old Zhou¡¯s temper is still as bad as ever..."

    "Hehe. This foolish kid is still thinking of convincing us all with his words alone? How ridiculous."

    The first batch of resonators contacted by Zhou Ye were waiting for the result of this negotiation with an expression of disdain. As for those who had been gathered into Chen Feng¡¯s camp, they had a bad feeling and wanted to enter, but they were stopped from entering.

    One of them nced over and said, "Hey, bro, that fellow from your side is the one who suggested a one-minute discussion. What¡¯s the rush?"

    "Hmph!"

    Those who had already signed Chen Feng¡¯s contract of a god could only stop and watch on anxiously. They truly had no idea why Wang Feng had insisted on negotiating this. What was there to talk about with these people? They should just kill these people and get it over with.

    ...

    Forty seconds.

    Fifty seconds.

    Everyone waited anxiously. The killing intent that had appeared suddenly vanished, and afterward, no other signs of activity could be detected. Everyone was curious as to the content of their negotiation. None of them had any idea, but they were all sure that Zhou Ye would not agree to whatever it was.

    "That is, after all, a grudge arising from the murder of one¡¯s father..."

    Everyonemented. Back then, countless casualties had arisen in the chaotic war. The power of the Luck Goddess was too unique and had been capable of enveloping the entire battlefield, affecting everyone. As such, nearly every death had thus been rted to her in some way or another. This me had to be shouldered by the Luck Goddess alone.

    "Negotiations are nothing but a waste of time..." one person said. However, before he could even finish his sentence, he saw both Chen Feng and Zhou Ye leaving the room.

    Zhou Ye had an odd expression on his face¡ªsomewhat stupefied, somewhat shocked¡ªand was staring ahead vacantly. On the contrary, opposite him, Chen Feng had an expression of utmost bliss.

    ...

    What¡¯s going on? Everyone was stupefied.

    "The negotiation..." someone probed cautiously.

    "I agreed," Zhou Ye said with a bitter smile.

    "What?"

    Everyone¡¯s eyes widened, and a lot of them were furious when they heard this.

    "Old Zhou, what are you doing?!"

    "Yeah, you are the one who gathered us in the first ce!"

    "You have actually betrayed us?"

    They could not understand the reason for this.

    "Oh¡ª"

    Zhou Ye had a strange expression and shrugged, not knowing how to exin this. He could only say, "He indeed persuaded me. Any of you who do not find this satisfactory can enter the room with him."

    One person stood up in anger. "Let me in, then." He was also someone whose family members had perished in that world. He simrly had a grudge that could not be erased. He refused to believe that a mere one-minute negotiation would be able to erase it.

    He walked into the room as everyone around stared with wide eyes. After one minute¡ªno, to be more precise, after a mere 40 seconds, he simrly walked out with a bewildered, stupefied, and odd expression on his face.

    "Old Zhang..." the rest asked.

    Old Zhang smiled bitterly. "I agreed."

    "What?"

    This time, everyone was dumbstruck. Agreed as well? Another one? What in the world was going on here? Everyone was clueless. Since this fellow was the spokesperson of the Luck Goddess, his power was naturally be rted to luck. They had all experienced it before and were aware that as fellow resonators, they all had rather impressivebat power and would not agree to this Chen Feng by threat of force. Was he offering them some benefits to get them to agree?

    That did not seem possible either. What kind of benefits could get one to forget about the death of one¡¯s family? And thus, one indignant resonator after another entered the room. Next, one stupefied resonator after another exited the room. This caused those resonators that had zero trust in Chen Feng to be thoroughly dumbfounded. Of course, even those resonators that exited the room had the same dumbfounded expression. Even when questioned, they had no idea how to answer. What could they say?

    Should they tell them that Chen Feng had not even spent much time trying to convince them? He had merely spent some time gaining understanding of their hatred toward the Luck Goddess before passing some information to them in a profound manner.

    "Let me introduce you to the Misfortune Goddess."

    And next... Well, there were no next.

    When they saw that document emanating the power of misfortune, when they realized that this fellow was using the name of the Luck Goddess to scam the people here, they did not know whether tough or cry. They were sure that from the Primordial Era until now, never had they encountered such a shameless person... apart from the Luck Goddess.

    At present, most of those that had not been gathered under Chen Feng¡¯s camp were hostile toward the Luck Goddess. As such, using the Misfortune Goddess, 80% of them were dealt with easily. As for the rest of them...

    Mhm...

    Chen Feng checked the list of names that had signed his contract. Nearly 80% of the people here had already signed the contract, agreeing that they would advance or retreat together with him. Those refusing to sign? Well, they would not be able to even leave alive. Ultimately, this bunch of 30-odd resonators was dealt with by Chen Feng.

    These resonators had no choice but to obey Chen Feng¡¯smands and move together with him on this saltke. However, this was limited to only this operation. After leaving, all of these resonators would regain their freedom. This was a rule Chen Feng had personally set. Otherwise, who would have agreed to sign the contract?

    Chen Feng looked at everyone with a wide smile. "Well then... I suppose we will all be working together temporarily. Since everyone has entered a temporary alliance, I shall speak the truth. The Luck Goddess is too weakened presently and doesn¡¯t have much godly power left. She will not be able to help us all enter. Therefore, this trip through the saltke will still be filled with danger. However, we only need to survive this until the awakening of the Forest Goddess. The moment she awakens, I believe our spring will arrive as well. I trust that with so many resonators here, with all our godly powers, we will be able to traverse this saltke."

    Chen Feng was filled with fighting spirit.

    All the resonators nodded their heads. Even if this saltke wasden with danger, when so many resonators who would normally not work together decided to work together, they would be unequaled.

    Bang!

    Godly powers erupted. Numerous formidable godly powers swirled about. Thisst-minute alliance organized by Chen Feng was unprecedentedly formidable.

    "May the goddess be with you," Chen Feng said respectfully.

    "May the goddess be with you," countless people chanted together. As for Zhou Ye, he exchanged nces with Chen Feng and smiled profoundly. They were the only ones who knew which "goddess" they were talking about.

    Bang!

    The alliance set forth. At present, within the forest, the Luck Goddess was frowning. She did not have too much godly power left and could not observe the happenings at the saltke. If she used her godly power for observation, the exhaustion rate would be too immense for her liking. Moreover, these resonators were but mere bugs...

    s, something did not seem right there. She could feel the surging godly powers there even from this far away. She could clearly feel the momentum... and that incredibly familiar aura and godly power!

    "Zhou Ye..."

    The Luck Goddess shut her eyes. If it was this fellow, this development was not too surprising after all. This person, who was also known as the Child of God, had been a rather famous person even back in the Primordial Era. Surprisingly, he had also survived to the present day. Truly worthy of being the Child of God.

    Luck Goddess shook her head. She had initially believed that these resonators would not be able to cause her any trouble. However, if Zhou Ye had appeared, things would not be the same. She could easily sense how terrifying the gathering of all those people was. If she were at her peak, she would naturally be able to easily deal with them with a wave of her hand. Unfortunately, right now...

    She shook her head. "Looks like I have to waste some godly power to deal with them." Her tiny hand waved at the forest as she said, "Please wait a moment."

    Hum¡ª

    A faint golden radiance surged out. The radiance of luck that had weakened previously intensified. The Luck Goddess¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly as she vowed that she would not permit these people to pass through the saltke.

    Luck, activate!

    Kill!

    ...

    Bang!

    The initially tranquilke suddenly went berserk.

    "Careful."

    Instantly, everyone increased their vignce.

    "Finally here..." Chen Feng was filled with anticipation. He had been scheming around just for this very moment. If his guess was correct, the simplest way for the Luck Goddess to eliminate all these people was to use her power of luck to manufacture misfortune to kill all these people. Something like this was what Chen Feng had done in the past. Although the amount of luck value required was much higher, it was astonishingly effective as well. This time, though, the Luck Goddess would be the unfortunate one. Chen Feng smiled as he mused about this.

    "Time to reap our harvest." Chen Feng waved his hand lightly.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance shed. No energy or aura appeared. Rather, that odd and bizarre aura lingering among the air slowly and gradually swirled around before entered Chen Feng¡¯s body. He was absorbing the power of misfortune! A hundred points, 101 points, 102 points!

    ...

    The pitifully low amount of misfortune power within him started increasing madly.

    This was something created using the godly power of the Luck Goddess. As such, a regr person would not dare touch it. However, when the power of luck was transformed into misfortune and was sent straight to the Misfortune Goddess, there was no longer anything Chen Feng needed to fear.

    Shua! Shua!

    He absorbed madly. His initial 100 points of misfortune power increased sharply, and in a single push, he gained an additional 50 points.

    "How powerful."

    All the resonators around eximed in admiration. From their point of view, they only saw an odd power rippling over them and the surface of theke going berserk. Next, Chen Feng had taken a single step forward and waved his hand lightly, and everything returned to normal. One could only say that he was indeed worthy of being the spokesperson of the Luck Goddess.

    Strong!

    Zhou Ye and the others exchanged nces and had toying smiles on their faces.

    Luck...

    Misfortune...

    "Hehe."

    Zhou Ye was iparably delighted. If it was purely the power of luck, the Misfortune Goddess would be seeking her own death if she dared touch it. After all, the present Luck Goddess was way stronger than her. However, that Luck Goddess had, in a truly unfortunate fashion, transformed her power of luck into misfortune. Not only that, she had even sent the power of misfortune straight to Chen Feng... Mhm... This was truly amusing.

    Zhou Yeughed wildly inwardly. "It is truly unexpected that this is happening to you as well."

    Was there anything more delightful than the act of insulting his sworn enemy?

    Shua! Shua!

    The godly power rippled past several pasts. Yet each time, theke was able to regain its calm.

    Chen Feng waved his hand and calmly said, "Let¡¯s go."

    "All right."

    Everyone was getting agitated. Suddenly, they felt like bing followers of the Luck Goddess was indeed a nice thing. Look, at least the environmental dangers would be reduced greatly, and they would also have a chance to be a trusted subordinate of the Luck Goddess in the future.

    Mhm...

    Some of them had already started thinking of ways to extend their contracts of a god forever. In this chaotic era, it would be good if they could seek shelter under the umbre of a powerful person. s, unknown to them all, the all-powerful umbre they were all thinking of was presently sensing the changes at the saltke with an unsightly expression.

    Godly power of luck... gone! Without any omens, without any sign of an enemy.

    Just like that, it was gone, as if her godly power of luck had vanished into thin air the moment it had made contact with that group of people.

    Luck Goddess was in a solemn mood. "Is Zhou Ye already this strong?" The Zhou Ye of the past had been rather weak. However, it had been many years since any news about him hadst heard. Furthermore, with his identity as the Child of God, it would not be odd for him to suddenly be strong.

    Shua! Shua!

    That surging aura from the group at the saltke was quickly approaching her.

    The Luck Goddess sneered. "Courting death." It had been way too long since she hadst done anything. Was this why these lowly servants had forgotten about the dignity of a god? Perhaps this was the time to remind them.

    Bang!

    A terrifying godly power surged out. The power of luck bloomed. Without surprise, the moment the Luck Goddess activated her power of luck, the saltke started trembling. Under theke, numerous powerful existences seemed to be on the verge of emerging. In the sky, numerous sts of thunder roared. Numerous phenomena seemed to have appeared instantly.

    Again?

    Everyone looked at Chen Feng instinctively.

    Chen Feng waved his hand calmly. "Calm!"

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance rippled out. Coldly, Chen Feng returned the calm to thiske. Everyone around eximed in admiration yet again. With a snap of his fingers, he had eliminated the numerous phenomena here. This strength... was truly excessively astonishing.

    Everyone was filled with a sense of admiration. Little did they know that the calm-looking Chen Feng was inwardly ecstatic. Godly power! So much godly power! He had originally been worried that he would have no way of absorbing godly power. Surprisingly, the Luck Goddess was rather firm in her resolve to transform her godly power of luck into misfortune and send it to Chen Feng. This was perfect.

    Chen Feng grinned. "My dearest Spirit indeed." However, he could not help but wonder why the Luck Goddess was still using her power of luck to create misfortune despite how little godly power she had. Was there a trick somewhere? Mhm... Chen Feng contemted shortly before arrived at a conclusion that shocked him so much his eyes went wide.

    "Holy shit, that can¡¯t be, right?"

    He nked. Could it be... Could it be... that the Luck Goddess was simply unaware of the more optimal method of using her power of luck?

    Chen Feng shook his head. "No, this can¡¯t be true. She is the Luck Goddess, a deity! When ites to the operation of the godly power of luck, nobody can surpass her."

    s... the subsequent attacks were the same attacks of misfortune. This caused Chen Feng to revisit his conclusion. The Luck Goddess was truly unaware of the optimal method of using her power of luck! She was wasting her luck power!

    However... how was this even possible? She was the Luck Goddess. She was a deity... However, Chen Feng was able to deduce the real reason soon enough. The exnation was rather simple. During the Primordial Era, she¡¯d always had boundless and endless godly power at her disposal. As such, she had not needed to consider efficiency, since her godly power had been inexhaustible. The only thing she had needed to consider was the might of her attacks.

    Therefore, the Luck Goddess had no idea about saving up godly power. This was also why the Luck Goddess and Misfortune Goddess were mortal enemies. If the exhaustion of godly power was not taken into consideration, the domains of these two were totally ovepped.

    Chen Feng was speechless at this. In his previous life on Earth, stuff like this had been a rathermon urrence as well. For example, a certain senior with a rather high ie with nice cars and houses would frequently consult his junior when it came to the purchase of electronics.

    When asked why couldn¡¯t he buy those electronic products himself, the senior would say that he trulycked understanding of these things and was afraid of the number of scammers online. Hearing that, the junior would help him select the electronic product with the best price. After they were done with the process, that senior would conclude that these poor fellows were the ones who knew more about life after all. Although they were so poor that they couldn¡¯t afford anything, they seemed to know about everything.

    Mhm...

    After giving it some thought, Chen Feng felt like he was rather simr to the so-called poor fellows.

 Chapter 720: Deduce

    Chapter 720: Deduce

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Hua¡ª

    Wave after wave of misfortune power rippled out. At this point, Chen Feng was already extremely certain that he was the extremely poor fellow who had learned of ways to save his godly power because the amount of godly power he had was way too low. As for the goddess, well... let¡¯s just say that she was indeed worthy of being a goddess. Chen Feng spread both his arms wide and took in all of the Luck Goddess¡¯s attacks. He weed the figurative whip of the Luck Goddess with his very body, absorbing the misfortune power within.

    Come! Let the storm intensify!

    Bang! Bang!

    His godly power surged. The initially pitiful 100 points of misfortune power he¡¯d had was now reaching 900 points, an increase of nine times. This was quite a terrifying increase. After all, this was not luck value. Rather, this was pure godly power.

    Luck Goddess...

    Chen Feng smiled as he mused that she was indeed his Luck Goddess.

    Hua¡ª

    The misfortune was stilling without stop. Chen Feng led the group as they advanced smoothly. In a short period of time, they already traversed half theke. At present, the Luck Goddess, who had unleashed 10-odd attacks, was dumbfounded. This development... did not seem quite right! It would still have been eptable if she had only failed to get them to fight among themselves. Now, even the disasters she had thrown their way had been stopped? Moreover, the Luck Goddess could not even sense the effects of what should have happened when her godly power of luck was used.

    The Luck Goddess was filled with doubt. "What¡¯s going on?" In this entire long life of hers, something like this had never happened.

    The Luck Goddess had a deep gaze. "This Zhou Ye fellow, he has made such ample preparations for me?"

    She guessed that to be the case, since as far as she was concerned, the only variable in this operation was Zhou Ye. At present, far away at the saltke, Chen Feng had already seen through the Luck Goddess. Naturally, this time, what he had seen through was her mind, rather than her body, since he had already seen everything she had to offer long ago.

    "What body?" Zhou Ye asked as he heard Chen Feng muttering.

    Chen Feng coughed and answered, "Nothing. I am merely analyzing something."

    The two discussed in whispers.

    "Do you know that even though the Luck Goddess is a deity and is incredibly powerful, she simrly has pitifully littlebat experience, thanks to her very prowess?" muttered Chen Feng, "Moreover... she has never experienced failure."

    Zhou Ye¡¯s eyes shone as he heard this. "You are saying..."

    Chen Feng smiled toyingly. "That¡¯s right. If this were a god with rich battle experience, the god would be able to determine the problem the moment the problem urred, using their godly power, based on the god¡¯s past experience. Unfortunately, this is not something the Luck Goddess is capable of, since she has never failed before. In this long life of hers, her only failure was that one time when she was forced to perish together with all the other gods," Chen Feng guessed.

    "That¡¯s right." Zhou Ye recalled the life of the Luck Goddess. Since birth, she had proceeded along smoothly. Nobody had been capable ofpeting with her. That had been eptable, though, because she was, after all, the Luck Goddess.

    "Therefore... she has no idea what the problem is right now. Moreover, she wouldn¡¯t guess that I am here as well." Chen Feng continued, "However, the main reason for her ignorance is because she is unaware that the Misfortune Goddess has already awakened. Otherwise, she would be able to deduce the truth easily."

    "Mhm..." Zhou Ye agreed. Despite herck of experience, she was still an intelligent person. The moment she discovered some slight clues about the appearance of the Misfortune Goddess, she would easily be able to discover the truth of things.

    "Therefore, we need you to stand out," Chen Feng said with a bright pair of eyes.

    Zhou Ye was curious. "Oh?"

    Chen Feng nodded. "Among you guys who are hostile toward the Luck Goddess, you are the most influential person and the only person among the resonators here that she knows of."

    Zhou Ye was the descendant of a god, and only the descendant of a god would be worthy of being remembered by the Luck Goddess. As for the others? What did they count for?

    Zhou Ye was doubtful. "Are you certain that me standing out will be useful?" He was very clear on his own strength. Even though he had be stronger, it would still be impossible for him to reach a point where he could pressure the Luck Goddess.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "You only need to pretend you can. As for the rest... the Luck Goddess will make up the exnations in her own head."

    Make up...

    Zhou Ye¡¯s expression darkened. So they still needed their enemy to make up some exnations to con herself?

    Chen Feng nced at him and said, "Let me rephrase. She will use her deductions to answer her own questions. Does this sound better?"

    "..." Zhou Ye nked, but he couldn¡¯t help but agree.

    "Semantics." Chen Feng curled his lips and said, "Don¡¯t worry. The Luck Goddess does not only possess the power of luck. She is also very good at deduction. After failing, she will start deducing based on the clues she has avable, searching for a rational reason, the reason with the highest probability of being correct. The result being you, Zhou Ye."

    Chen Feng had a sharp gaze as he finished.

    He patted Zhou Ye¡¯s shoulder with his right hand. "Never forget... you are the descendant of a god."

    Bang!

    Boundless godly power surged out. That godly power was unique to Zhou Ye.

    The Luck Goddess in the forest instantly sensed this. "Indeed... This is the aura of Zhou Ye. Compared to the past, he has indeed gotten much stronger."

    The Luck Goddess sank into contemtion. However, within that aura, apart from Zhou Ye¡¯s aura, another aura was mixed in. That was an aura that caused the Luck Goddess to feel extremely twitchy.

    "Zhou Ye, have you found something capable of countering me?" the Luck Goddess guessed. Since Zhou Ye dared toe and kill her, he must have found something capable of countering her. Perhaps it was some power or divine tool!

    The Luck Goddess¡¯s killing intent surged. "Is this the source of your confidence?" She did not fear Zhou Ye. However, she did not wish to see this god¡¯s descendant arrive here carrying a tool capable of countering her, as at present, she was still too weak.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Before her, radiance swirled about. The awakening of the Forest Goddess was nearlyplete. At present, the only thing she could do was wait and destroy those annoying bugs.

    "Zhou Ye..."

    The Luck Goddess made some deductions.

    Bang!

    Once again, her surging power flooded the saltke.

    "Here ites!"

    Chen Feng was overjoyed. He had known that the Luck Goddess would definitely do this.

    Bang!

    A terrifying power of misfortune descended. Seeing this, Chen Feng was iparably happy. He had waited a long time for this very moment.

    "You actually guessed correctly," Zhou Ye eximed in admiration.

    He knew that Chen Feng was the resonator of the Misfortune Goddess. However, he had never guessed that Chen Feng¡¯s understanding of the Luck Goddess would reach such a level, seemingly capable of reading her thoughts. How was this even possible? The Luck Goddess was, after all, a god...

    Chen Feng merely smiled as a response. "Hehe." It was only natural that he had a deep understanding of the Luck Goddess. One could say that his understanding of the Luck Goddess was way too deep. If Spirit was the Luck Goddess, the newly birthed Spirit back then had been the manifestation of the truest Luck Goddess, including how she thought. As such, Chen Feng was way too clear how she would think.

    s, that foolish girl...

    Chen Feng sighed as he realized something. What had the Luck Goddess proved by not knowing how to optimally use her godly power of luck? This proved that during her fusion with Spirit, Spirit had deleted from her memory the optimal usage of the godly power of luck she had learned from Chen Feng. Spirit had been aware of the situation Chen Feng would be in. She¡¯d had no idea whether she would still be willing to protect Chen Feng after her recovery.

    As such, before the full fusion, when she had still been Spirit, she had deleted everything she had learned about using the godly power of luck, leaving a chance for Chen Feng. This was the only exnation for this.

    "Spirit, I will not disappoint you. Even if this is a goddess..." Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "I will retrieve my Spirit!"

    Chapter 721: Dark History of the Primordial Era

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang! Bang!

    An intense power of misfortune surged out. At the saltke, wind and rain interwove together, and the mirror-likeke cracked as tides shot up nonstop. In the sky, thunder roared and lightning shed, seeming incredibly dreadful. Facing such a disaster, Chen Feng stepped forth and, under everyone¡¯s gaze of shock, like a little boat, Chen Feng intruded upon the cmitous world that seemed capable of turning heaven and Earth upside down at any moment.

    Bang! Bang!

    "This guy..."

    "He really entered by himself..."

    "I can feel godly power seething within. This is a disaster."

    Everyone¡¯s heart fluttered as they saw this.

    "Fear not. He is the spokesperson of the Luck Goddess."

    "Yeah." Everyone recalled this. "If it¡¯s the Luck Goddess..."

    Bang!

    The waves were as violent as ever. Everyone gazed over expectantly. In the midst of that terrifying environment, Chen Feng¡¯s small figure was akin to a tiny boat that could be destroyed at any moment, swaying about without stop. But it was this very swaying figure that stood tall without copsing. The terrifying disasters, the astonishing phenomena, the violent godly power, not a single one could even touch him.

    "This..."

    "How powerful!"

    "Worthy of being the spokesperson of the Luck Goddess indeed!"

    "Looks like we have followed the correct person after all."

    "Haha."

    Everyone was overjoyed. The terrifying disasters of theke had been blocked by him alone. At this time, within the chaos, Chen Feng was frantically absorbing the power of misfortune. The Luck Goddess¡¯s attacks were like a baptism to Chen Feng, who was epting all the misfortune without stop.

    Ultimately, calm returned to theke once again. The disasters vanished, and the sky became sunny and cloudless again. The reflection of the sky was visible on theke¡¯s spotlessly white mirror-like surface, as if heaven and Earth had joined together, leaving only a tiny crack behind. On that crack stood Chen Feng, looking so very quaint when merged with his surroundings. The disasters from earlier were like nothing but illusions.

    "It¡¯s... over?"

    "I think so. The disasters were initially heading toward us. However, he stepped forward and instead ended those disasters."

    "I saw it clearly. In there, he was merely waving his hand around softly. With each wave, part of the disasters disappeared. The Luck Goddess is already this powerful?"

    "How strong!"

    Everyone was shocked.

    "Worthy of being Chen Feng indeed..."

    "Huh, I thought his name was Wang Feng?"

    "One was his name during the Primordial Era, one is his present name."

    "Oh, okay."

    Everyone epted this exnation. In truth, this was quite an interesting alliance. Half of them were the supporters of the Luck Goddess, while the other half was the supporters of the Misfortune Goddess. Thanks to Chen Feng, both sides had joined together to protect (screw) the Luck Goddess.

    With the disasters gone, the group of resonators started advancing once again. Regardless of whether they wanted to protect or eliminate the Luck Goddess, they were all presently overwhelmed by their emotions and filled with confidence in this operation, since the goddess they were supporting was powerful enough.

    At the same time, the Luck Goddess could still feel the aura that made her jittery. Zhou Ye¡¯s aura seemed to have be even stronger.

    "Blocked yet again?"

    She frowned. This abandoned son of a god had actually reached this level? Leading all the resonators, they were getting nearer and nearer to her.

    "Looks like I have to think of something."

    The Luck Goddess focused her gaze. She had no idea her disasters had been absorbed by Chen Feng. However, after several failures, she was already aware that such methods were ineffective against Zhou Ye.

    "Has he gotten a hold of some karma-defying divine tools?"

    The Luck Goddess started guessing.

    If so...

    Shua!

    Light swirled before her. The godly power of luck emanated out from her. Instantly, a myriad of possibilities appeared before her eyes.

    Mhm... this one, then.

    "Let everything stop here," The Luck Goddess said coldly.

    Shua!

    A huge amount of the godly power of luck surged out. A terrifying aura started rippling out. At this point, the group led by Chen Feng had already traversed arge portion of theke. They had initially been expecting more disasters to appear. Surprisingly, none had appeared.

    "How smooth."

    "There is no longer any danger."

    "Is this thanks to Chen Feng as well?"

    "Haha, worthy of being the spokesperson of the Luck Goddess indeed. This feels way too good. No wonder so many people were willing to submit to the Luck Goddess during the Primordial Era. This feeling..."

    Everyone was filled with excitement. Thispletely unobstructed manner of traveling truly felt too good. Chen Feng and Zhou Ye were the only ones that exchanged nces with a frown.

    "You haven¡¯t been..." Zhou Ye could not sense any godly power around Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng sighed. "Nope." He had initially been looking forward to the free misfortune power. Unexpectedly, this Luck Goddess was able to react so speedily. It seemed like his absorption of misfortune would have to stop here. He checked the amount of misfortune he had umted: 1,800 points. Somewhat higher than the initial pitiful 100 points the Misfortune Goddess had had.

    Chen Feng was regretful. "Too low."

    The Misfortune Goddess: "..."

    Since she had awakened from her serious injury and after spending countless years in recovery, she had only recovered 100 points. This Chen Feng fellow had scammed over 1,800 points in such a short period of time, yet he wasining that it was a low amount?

    Chen Feng was all smiles as heforted her. "Calm down, it will all be yours sooner orter."

    The Misfortune Goddess: "..."

    Zhou Ye frowned. "I¡¯m afraid things will be troublesome now." He had never looked down on the Luck Goddess. If she had kept sending disasters their way, it would have been fine. This sudden calm instead caused his heart to be on alert.

    "That¡¯s for sure." Chen Feng curled his lips. "I suppose she has already realized that normal methods will not work on us. As such, she is preparing to do something big. Mhm... Based on my understanding of her..."

    Chen Feng looked at the sky. Apocalypse? No. The disasters she had sent their way earlier had not been much different than an apocalypse. Thus, with how luck worked, only one possibility was left. Chen Feng instantly understood.

    Zhou Ye thought of the same possibility as well. "You are saying..." At this time, the alliance was still advancing carefully and was getting nearer to the forest. At present, the reflection of the forest could already be vaguely seen. Suddenly.

    Bang!

    Lightning filled the sky.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled. Here ites!

    Bang!

    A huge w ripped the sky apart, forcefully tearing apart the sunny and cloudless sky. From the opening, a giant fierce-looking creature slowly crawled out. It had a huge body reaching several hundred meters in length. On its body were dense scales, and a terrifying aura was being emanated out of it. Naturally, these were not the scariest aspects of this beast. When this giant creature appeared, when everyone got a clear look at it, everyone was truly shocked.

    Their expressions sank. "This is..."

    A deafening howl resounded. "Howl¡ª" For the first time, the true appearance of that fierce giant creature was revealed.

    "Dragon..."

    Everyone was rmed. That¡¯s right. This here was a primordial dragon!

    Chen Feng was speechless. "So you guys even had such life-forms during the Primordial Era?"

    "..." Zhou Ye gave Chen Feng an odd nce, wondering why Chen Feng would say that if he was from that era as well. However, looking at this terrifying dragon, he soon forgot his doubts.

    "Where else did the legends of dragonse from?" Zhou Ye answered with a bitter smile.

    Chen Feng shrugged. "I thought it was merely big lizards or something like that..."

    "That is because, back then, during the Primordial Era, one particr dragon that was incredibly uglymitted a huge crime and was expelled from the dragon tribe. Unable to pass on its bloodline, that particr dragon raped a huge lizard, performing an act that was also known as the greatest disgrace of the Primordial Era. Subsequently, numerous weird life-forms came into being, such as the so-called wyverns. Naturally, all these life-forms are also known as fake dragons."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    What the hell? Such a dark piece of history exists?

    Chen Feng pointed. "How about this dragon here, then..."

    "Naturally, this is a true dragon." Zhou Ye smiled bitterly as he looked at the gradually approaching dragon. He could feel that this dragon had yet to recover to its peak. However, even without being fully recovered, it was already stronger than everyone here.

    Bang!

    The primordial dragon descended. A terrifying aura arrived together with the dragon. Almost immediately, twoparatively weaker resonators started coughing blood from the pressure emitted by the aura, almost dying then and there. Zhou Ye had a solemn expression on his face.

    "This time... I think we have truly encountered some huge trouble."

    At the saltke, Chen Feng and Zhou Ye were both staring solemnly at the primordial dragon.

    "Have you fought one of them before?" Chen Feng asked with a sigh.

    "It is impossible for us to defeat one of them, not even in a lifetime. In the past, when we saw one of them, the only thing we were able to do was flee hastily to survive the encounter."

    Zhou Ye was utterly distressed. The primordial dragon was a unique race so powerful that they did not even fear the gods. A life-form like this...

    "Why has it appeared here, then?" Chen Feng asked with a thoughtful look. If this dragon was truly so powerful, why would it listen to the Luck Goddess? There was only one possibility.

    "Luck," Chen Feng and Zhou Ye said at the same time. That¡¯s right. In truth, the Luck Goddess wasn¡¯t particrly familiar with this dragon either. She had merely used her godly power of luck to create coincidences, enabling this dragon to appear right here and awaken right at this instant. That was all there was to it. This was something Chen Feng had often done. Unexpectedly, when the Luck Goddess was the one creating coincidences, something like this would appear...

    "So much more powerful than I was," Chen Feng said with a bitter smile. See, the Luck Goddess had no need to even try saving up her godly power. Regardless of how efficient or optimal Chen Feng had been with controlling his luck value in the past, regardless of his tricks or techniques, he could notpare to the Luck Goddess¡¯s straightforward brutish method using her high amount of godly power. See, just like that, she had caused a primordial dragon to appear here. However, if it was still due to luck...

    "The release of the godly power of luck should be a one-off thing. The goddess has already used her formidable godly power to enable this dragon to appear here. However, this is where her influence stops. If my guess is correct, the Luck Goddess will not micromanage her godly power to influence this primordial dragon", Chen Feng analyzed.

    "Why is that?" Zhou Ye asked instinctively.

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. Why else? Because our Lord Goddess simply does not know how to micromanage her godly power.

    Chen Feng could only answer, "Perhaps because she is of the opinion that it is unnecessary to do so."

    Zhou Ye smiled bitterly. "True. The primordial dragons have rather bad tempers, especially when they are awakened during cultivation. Their temper when they wake up is excessively bad. I suppose we will all die here..."

    Howl¡ª

    The primordial dragon red at them.

    Their hearts chilled. "It¡¯s over."

    "Pr... primordial dragon..."

    "No, I don¡¯t want to face something like this..."

    "Ah ah ah ah ah, run fast."

    Some started fleeing in panic. As the dragon saw this, it flickered, and in a logic-defying manner, it quickly moved toward that person before chomping down on that person. Mhm... Cracking sounds could be heard as the dragon chewed on that person.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Everyone took in a deep breath in shock. Indeed, even a resonator could not evenst a single instant within this dragon¡¯s mouth. The gods had awakened, and now these primordial creatures had awakened as well. The primordial would probably fully descend for real now.

    Chen Feng sighed. "Dragon... luck..."

    Shua!

    Godly power started seething around him. That was the activation of his misfortune power. With the 1,800 points of misfortune he had, if he used them all to create a pseudo-luck effect, how powerful would it be? He was quite curious.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance surged out.

    Zhou Ye¡¯s eyes widened. "What are you doing? You are wasting your godly power."

    "We will never know without trying," Chen Feng said lightly.

    Zhou Ye smiled bitterly. "You are better off using that godly power to flee." He had initially nned to flee together with Chen Feng. Although this dragon was powerful, if they all scattered and fled, they would still have a chance to survive. In the midst of escaping, Chen Feng¡¯s misfortune power would prove especially useful. This was what he had nned, yet unexpectedly, Chen Feng was actually wasting his misfortune power here, converting misfortune to luck, to contend against the Luck Goddess.

    Good gracious. Had he forgotten how the Luck Goddess had suffered when she had converted her luck to misfortune against him? All the misfortune had been absorbed by Chen Feng! And yet now he was converting his misfortune into luck against the Luck Goddess... This truly caused Zhou Ye to be speechless.

    Chen Feng suddenly asked, "Are you familiar with the concept of deflecting a heavier force with a lighter force?" [1] 1

    Zhou Ye was puzzled. "No. What¡¯s that?"

    Chen Feng spoke calmly. "It¡¯s a martial arts technique from my hometown. Through timely and precise maniption of energy, one can deflect or redirect a heavier force using a lighter force. Well, in simpler terms, it is an art of leveraging."

    Zhou Ye was still as confused. "Leveraging? What¡¯s that?"

    "...You will know soon enough." Chen Feng took in a deep breath. He knew that the conversion of misfortune into luck would raise his exhaustion rate. He was also aware that this would not work well against the Luck Goddess. However, one advantage he held over her was that he was more skilled in the technical aspect of controlling luck. When the Luck Goddess manipted luck, there was no skill involved. She brute-forced through everything.

    This was a chance for him, since, after exhausting a huge amount of godly power to get the dragon here, the Luck Goddess would no longer waste her luck power on this dragon. The reason for that was simple. If she continued using her luck to influence the dragon, the exhaustion rate would be too high, so high that the Luck Goddess could not afford it. As such, at such a time when the Luck Goddess wouldn¡¯t do anything, he could try converting his misfortune power into luck and see what he could aplish with it.

    At a certain region in the west, a certain mountain range started copsing. From within the mountain, a huge head stretched out slowly. The brownish color and the cracks on the head gave it a rather vicious appearance.

    Ka! Ka!

    Slowly, the head raised. Next, a huge body slowly separated itself from the mountain.

    Howl¡ª

    A booming howl sounded. Behind this somewhat clumsy-looking body, a pair of wings unfurled. A terrifying aura surged, causing all the nearby life-forms to shiver in fear. The aura of a dragon! These life-forms had all sensed the existence of a legendary aura, the aura of a dragon!

    "I am back."

    That head raised high up in the air, its eyes akin tonterns.

    "I am back! What... you all... owe me... hehe... Chen Feng..."

    A sonorous howl echoed everywhere.

    Shua!

    He locked onto Chen Feng¡¯s aura before shooting forth. At this moment, Chen Feng¡¯s group¡¯s situation was getting more and more dangerous. Some of them were already fleeing, but doing this in front of the dragon seemingly ensured their own deaths. In a short half minute, around four resonators had been killed. Everyone¡¯s hearts chilled at this sight.

    "So where is your heavier force?" Zhou Ye asked with a bitter smile.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "No idea." His misfortune power was already fully exhausted.

    His 1,800 points of misfortune power, after the conversion, were roughly equivalent to only 300 points of luck power. Mhm... Based on his estimation using the misfortune pen as the basis, 300 points of the godly power of luck were equivalent to 30,000 points of luck value. This amount was rather simr to what he¡¯d had when he had summoned the apocalypse back then.

    Naturally, that time, what he had ultimately summoned had merely been the shadow of an apocalypse, rather than a true apocalypse that would destroy an entire. This time, though, his 30,000 points of luck value were all concentrated right here and, as such, should work better.

    Bang!

    Suddenly, the sky turned dark.

    "Ah, shit." Chen Feng raised his head. "Not again..."

    The apocalypse he had summoned in the past had been rather outstanding, as it had helped him scare off everyone. However, he did not think a primordial dragon would fall for the same thing. However, right as Chen Feng thought that the apocalypse was going to appear, a booming howl resounded from the gloomy and dark sky.

    "Chen... Feng... hand over your life!"

    Bang!

    The sky was ripped apart. A dragon as huge as a mountain appeared, radiating killing intent.

    Shua!

    Everyone looked at Chen Feng uniformly. Another one? Zhou Ye looked at Chen Feng, astonishment on his face. So this was the so-called defeating a heavier force with a lighter force? No, this was more like defeating his very self.

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Zhou Ye looked at Chen Feng carefully. "Erm... have you forgotten about your disguise?" This guy wasn¡¯t nning to kill himself, right? The effect of his luck power was to summon yet another dragon? Was one not enough? Now they had two here? Hold on... Suddenly, Zhou Ye recalled that when the new dragon had arrived, he had shouted, "Chen Feng, hand over your life"?

    "You know this dragon?" Zhou Ye asked as he looked at the mountain-like dragon.

    Chen Feng was utterly stupefied as well. "Nope." Since when had he known this dragon? Chen Fengforted Zhou Ye. "Don¡¯t worry. Maybe my godly power has yet toe into effect. As for this dragon, it must either be a coincidence or something that slut Luck Goddess summoned."

    Zhou Ye: "..."

    This did not sound convincing at all.

    Zhou Ye inhaled deeply. "When will your godly powere into effect, then?" He looked at these two dragons, feeling like he would die in the next second.

    "Soon... I guess?" Chen Feng guessed. He had initially believed that his power of misfortune would bring forth another dreadful creature to fight this dragon. Surprisingly, it had brought forth another dragon instead. Moreover... Chen Feng raised his head and looked at the new dragon, which was getting clearer and clearer. When he finally got a clear look at that dragon, he finally understood why that dragon knew him.

    "Shit," Chen Feng cried out in surprise.

    Zhou Ye sighed. "You finally remembered this dragon?" Since the dragon had called out Chen Feng¡¯s name, they obviously knew each other.

    Chen Feng shrugged. "Yeah." He had still been wondering when he had ever offended a dragon, but when he had finally gotten a clear look at the dragon¡¯s appearance, he had finally remembered who this fellow was. Long Yue! This was one of the so-called descendants of a dragon, the Long family. What a distant memory...

    Back then, when he had been still a weakling, he had once crossed paths with this fellow. If he remembered correctly, Long Yue had obviously died. Why was he still alive? Furthermore, this body... and this aura... He had actually transformed into a dragon for real.

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. Back then, the so-called descendant of a dragon and dragon bloodline had been berated endlessly by everyone, as everyone had been of the opinion that the Long family had gone crazy. There had also been that incident with the seadragon blood. Surprisingly, this fellow was still alive. Even more surprisingly, he had truly transformed into a dragon. In short, one had to have a dream, regardless of how unlikely it seemed, in case the dream woulde true?

    "What is the point of revising your memory at this time?" Zhou Ye felt like choking Chen Feng to death right here. He was starting to regret making an agreement with this Chen Feng. Why in the world would the luck converted from the power of misfortune screw with the user himself? Was this the so-called "defeating a heavier force with a lighter force"?

    "Oh..." Chen Feng was truly at a loss for words this time. That was because his godly power was no longer seething, indicating that his luck had indeed worked. From how things looked, it seemed like his luck had indeed brought forth this dragon, Long Yue. Why had this happened? Chen Feng waspletely confused. Mhm... Perhaps this Long Yue was not the Long Yue of the past? Even though there was a grudge between them, it was better than total strangers? That was possible!

    "Hello, Long Yue," Chen Feng cheerfully greeted Long Yue.

    Long Yue¡¯s killing intent surged. "Come and die!"

    Bang!

    A dreadful power erupted. The terrifying might unique to dragons descended. Immediately after his arrival, Long Yue charged at Chen Feng.

    "Shit." Chen Feng was so shocked that he fled backward while trembling.

    "How he hates you."

    Zhou Ye and the rest inhaled deeply in shock. This Chen Feng fellow... was probably going to die here.

    "I have been looking for you for a long time..." Long Yueughed sinisterly. "Hehehehehe, for me to be this, it is all thanks to you. Hehehehe..."

    Chen Fengughed dryly. "Hehe, does this not count as your wish being fulfilled?"

    Suddenly, Long Yue became agitated. "Wish fulfillment? What do you know? This ispletely unlike what I imagined... The dragon bloodline... Hahahaha, how could bugs such as you understand it?"

    Long Yue appeared deranged and angry at the same time.

    Bang!

    Once again, he charged at Chen Feng. His mountain-like body started descending.

    "Not good!"

    The hearts of Zhou Ye and the rest thumped furiously. Instinctively, they wanted to help Chen Feng. But with great sorrow, they found that they couldn¡¯t help at all. A dragon¡¯s speed and strength were too terrifying¡ªa regr person could never hope to catch up. And yet, surprising everyone there, just as Long Yue was about to reach Chen Feng, a terrifying power shed past. Just like that, Long Yue¡¯s mountain-like body was smashed away.

    Bang!

    Long Yue smashed into the saltke, nearly bleeding from the attack.

    A furious roar resounded. "Who?" Long Yue charged out of the saltke, furious. In the sky, the primordial dragon that was evenrger floatedzily. His huge head stretched out and gazed at Long Yue coldly.

    "Pr... primordial dragon?" Long Yue trembled, as if he had seen something extremely horrifying. Earlier, when he had seen Chen Feng, his eyes had be bloodshot with anger and had not noticed anything else. This was especially true since the other dragon was so huge, like he was part of the topography rather than a life-form.

    "..." The primordial dragon regarded Long Yue coldly. The saltke sank into absolute silence.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The primordial dragon¡¯s eyes flickered with a faint surging power. After a long time, the primordial dragon¡¯s ice-cold eyes became even colder. He seemed to have finally seen through the body of Long Yue, seen through everything contained within.

    Gradually, the primordial dragon locked his gaze upon Long Yue. "Disgrace... Lizard..."

    Long Yue trembled. "No, that¡¯s not the case." His body was only slightly smaller than the primordial dragon. However, the terrifying aura unique to a primordial dragon was sufficient to nt fear in his heart.

    "I am also a descendant of the dragons! I possess a true dragon bloodline!" Long Yue exined anxiously. "Arghhh, a damnable old man transformed me into a damnable lizard. Only after identally obtaining a primordial fragment when the primordial descended did I transform back into a true dragon. I am telling the truth! I truly possess the dragon bloodline!"

    And yet the primordial dragon ignored everything he said, merely staring at him coldly while repeating what he had said earlier. "Disgrace... Lizard... Obligated to kill!"

    Bang!

    Instantly, the primordial dragon raged.

    "Damn it!"

    Long Yue¡¯s expression changed as he sprung backward and fled in panic.

    Howl!

    A dreadful dragon aura erupted. And thus, two terrifying dragons left the saltke, one at the front and the other behind it, leaving behind Chen Feng and others, bewildered.

    "Seems like... it worked?" Zhou Ye said thoughtfully.

    "I guess so?" Chen Feng was unsure as well. His emotions today had truly been like a roller coaster ride, up and down. Nevertheless, this incident with the dragon had finally ended. Even if a few of them had died, the remaining resonators were still terrifying. At the very least, they were terrifying enough for the present weakened Luck Goddess. They all lifted their heads. Distantly, the forest was already within reach.

    "Go!" Chen Fengmanded.

    Luck Goddess, here wee!

 Chapter 724: Scammer!

    Chapter 724: Scammer!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At the forest¡¯s edge, when the dragon¡¯s aura vanished and the aura of Zhou Ye¡¯s group began to grow nearer and nearer, the Luck Goddess finally felt how serious this was. That Zhou Ye was even capable of chasing the primordial dragon away? The Luck Goddess did not feel like that was possible. After all, that was a primordial dragon. She had once used a simr method to defeat her enemy. With her godly power of luck, a primordial dragon had appeared and treated Zhou Ye¡¯s group as the enemy. How could the dragon let them off? But even so...

    Luck Goddess had a feeling of unease in her heart. "What in the world is going on?"

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    A faint godly power surged out. This forest¡¯s godly power was already recovering, indicating that it wouldn¡¯t be long before the Forest Goddess awakened.

    Luck Goddess nced over. "This is somewhat troublesome." She could feel that the aura of Zhou Ye¡¯s group was getting nearer and nearer. From the chaotic mess of auras she was feeling, it was obvious that the quality wasn¡¯t too high. Nevertheless, godly power was still godly power. She had initially believed these people to be a chaotic group that was not worth her attention. Now that she looked at them, they seemed capable of advancing or retreating in an orderly fashion with zero internal strife. This was obviously aplete team. That Zhou Ye fellow had awakened way earlier. Was this what he had been focused on doing?

    "How much do you hate me? It is a pity that regardless of how strong you guys are, you are all still mere resonators," The Luck Goddess said calmly. Perhaps, it was time to show them the true might of a god.

    Shua!

    She softly pressed her hand to the ground. Her present godly power was still too weak. Earlier, to awaken the Forest Goddess and deal with Zhou Ye¡¯s group, she had already exhausted too much of her godly power. Despite that...

    "Let me first borrow some of your power," Luck Goddess muttered.

    Bang!

    A boundless forest power surged out. With the push from the godly power of luck, the Forest Goddess¡¯s power started surging out, enveloping the entire edge of the forest.

    Shua! Shua!

    The vegetation there started growing rapidly. Next, the entire forest edge was blockaded by numerous green branches, resembling a bird¡¯s nest. In the center of this bird¡¯s nest was a piece of green fruit that was glowing without stop. This was the Forest Goddess¡¯s core. Simr to the Fate Stone and Misfortune Pen, prior to her full awakening, the Forest Goddess was slumbering within this fruit.

    At present, with the maniption of the godly power of luck, a hole appeared in that fruit. Next, a terrifying godly power started surging out of the fruit and entering the Luck Goddess¡¯s body.

    Hum¡ª

    Green radiance flickered about.

    Luck Goddess smiled. "Excellent."

    Although borrowing the power of the Forest Goddess would cause the Forest Goddess¡¯s recovery to take longer, so long as she could deal with those annoying pests, everything would be fine.

    Shua!

    Luck Goddess gently waved her hand, causing the trees around her to tremble, weaving and swaying about in ordance with the tempo of her fingers.

    Luck Goddess smiled. "Ah."

    Zhou Ye... I will be waiting for you.

    Not far away, at the saltke, Chen Feng and the rest were already at the edge of theke. In front of them was a lush forest with a dense grouping of trees.

    Zhou Ye did not hesitate. "Come, deal with it." Since even these trees had appeared, the Luck Goddess was definitely not far from them.

    Bang!

    The group charged forth and started trying to destroy these trees. s, they all suffered an intense bacsh.

    Pu!

    Someone coughed up a mouthful of blood, nearly dying then and there.

    "Godly power... This is the godly power of the Forest Goddess!" he shouted in rm. Everyone else¡¯s expression sank as they heard this. Were they toote? No, the radiance unique to the Forest Goddess had yet to appear. Furthermore, the Luck Goddess had no way of awakening the Forest Goddess in such a short period of time. But in that case, what was up with the godly power here?

    Zhou Ye sneered. "We will know after entering and taking a look."

    "Understood."

    The group was filled with a desire to do battle. The damnable Luck Goddess, this moment had finally arrived.

    "Hold on."

    The group that had first signed the contract with Chen Feng suddenly felt like something wasn¡¯t right. "Are we not here to protect the Luck Goddess? Since we have already decided to be followers of the Luck Goddess, there is no need for us to enter, right? Staying here is already sufficient. It is not very nice for us to enter impudently," someone said. He had a feeling that something did not seem right. Looking at them, it did not seem like they intended to protect the Luck Goddess?

    Zhou Ye: "..."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    True, he had nearly forgotten that in this group, there were some people that had been scammed by him. These pitiful children were probably still clueless even now. They had all innocently believed that this entire journey had been to offer protection to the Luck Goddess. Mhm...

    Well, in any case, at least Chen Feng had told them one single truth: some despicable viins were trying to ambush the Luck Goddess, and this was their chance to perform a meritorious deed for the Luck Goddess!

    And thus, these fellows had, in order to get noticed by the Luck Goddess, established the first-ever primordial resonator squad of the present era, and had all agreed to follow Chen Feng despite how difficult the journey had been. And yet... Mhm...

    Chen Feng spoke cautiously. "Erm, may I tell you guys a little secret?"

    They were immediately on guard. Suddenly, they had a bad premonition. "What?"

    Chen Feng shrugged. "In truth, the Luck Goddess is already treating you guys as enemies."

    Their eyes went wide. "What joke is this?"

    Chen Feng seemed to have realized something and said, "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you guys. Along the way, all the dangers and enemies, and even that primordial dragon, were summoned by the Luck Goddess in order to stop our advance. I hereby thank you all for your hard work. I reckon by this point, she already feels an intense hatred toward all of us."

    Chen Feng sighed.

    They were all dumbstruck. "Hold on... Are you not her spokesperson?"

    Gods would also hate their own spokesperson?

    Chen Feng looked at them while smiling. "I used to be. Right now, I¡¯m a free man and the spokesperson of the Misfortune Goddess. The contract you guys signed earlier was her contract."

    Everyone¡¯s expression sank. "What?" After pouring their senses into their respective contracts to sense the godly power within, their expressions changed greatly. Just as Chen Feng had said, this damned godly power was indeed the godly power of misfortune.

    It was no wonder that...

    All their doubts from earlier could now be answered. They also understood why this mortal enemy of the Luck Goddess, Zhou Ye, had agreed to Chen Feng¡¯s contract. This damnable Chen Feng!

    Everyone was furious. "You dare trick us all?"

    They had initially believed that, by following the Luck Goddess, they would be joining the strongest primordial camp. Never had they imagined that the beautiful future they had dreamed of had been a lie all along!

    Bang!

    Killing intent surged out as their eyes gleamed coldly. So what if they had all signed the contract? As per the contract, it would only stay active here in this ce. Otherwise, they would have never agreed to sign it in the first ce. The moment they left this ce... hehe. Everyone already had their gazes locked on Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng did not seem to be the least bothered by them. "Calm down, calm down. You guys are all mortal enemies of the Luck Goddess now. Moreover, you guys even signed the contract of the Misfortune Goddess. I have a question... Do you guys intend to offend both the Luck Goddess and Misfortune Goddess?" Chen Feng calmly finished, "I don¡¯t quite care either way."

    As the rest heard this, their hearts chilled. Misfortune... What would happen if one offended both the Luck Goddess and Misfortune Goddess at the same time? The mere thought caused them all to tremble in fear. It was with utmost grief that all these resonators that had intended to hold Chen Feng responsible realized that even though they knew the truth, they had no choice but to remain in this trapid out by Chen Feng. What a scammer!

    "Make up your mind yet?"

    Chen Feng was rather pleased with how they were behaving. Truly worthy of being resonators, as even their capability of eptance was higher than ordinary people¡¯s. Everyone was remaining silent.

    "Well, let us start our work, then." Chen Feng was in high spirits. "This barrier of trees..."

    Zhou Ye sneered. "Let us deal with it." Since they were intending to fight the Luck Goddess, how was it possible for them to havee without any preparations?

    Shua!

    A faint fluorescent powder shed out of Zhou Ye¡¯s hands. The powder drifted through the air before suddenly transforming into a raging inferno that swallowed the entire tree barrier. Slowly but surely, the huge bird¡¯s nest darkened, then transformed into ashes and smoke.

    Bang!

    The me raged. The tree barrier was not the only thing that was destroyed, as even half the forest¡¯s edge was transformed into ruins.

    "How powerful," Chen Feng eximed in admiration.

    Zhou Ye appeared proud. "That is only natural. This is the godly power of my father. With a single spark, a muchrger portion of the forest godly power could have been destroyed."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shed. "Do you have more of it?"

    Zhou Ye¡¯s expression dimmed. "No. This is all I have left. Otherwise, why would I be worried about the awakening of the Forest Goddess?"

    Chen Feng was speechless. "True."

    "Back then, it was precisely because my father¡¯s godly power was so much of a counter to the Forest Goddess that the damnable Luck Goddess decided to kill him."

    Zhou Ye¡¯s hatred was overflowing.

    Chen Feng gained understanding. So this was the case. So this grudge originated in the Primordial Era...

    Shua!

    A cool breeze swept past, sweeping away all the ashes. A rather sinister-looking forest was revealed. Half of it was lush and green, the other half in ruins. Zhou Ye and the rest were in the ruined half, while the other half was glowing with a seemingly boundless radiance.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    A green radiance flickered.

    "Be careful."

    Everyone increased their vignce.

    "Zhou Ye," a faint voice resounded, seeming to have arrived from the distant horizon.

    Suddenly, Zhou Ye¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. "Luck Goddess..."

    Each of them had different reasons for hating the Luck Goddess. Presently, they all had surging battle intent. Initially, they had only hoped to prevent the awakening of the Forest Goddess. However, due to Chen Feng¡¯s appearance, due to the Misfortune Goddess, they were now nning to y a god!

    Perhaps... this would be their only shot. As for the other half of the resonators, they all felt bitter and somber. They had no choice but to provide support to these enemies of the Luck Goddess, since they now had no other options.

    Luck Goddess stared at one of them in astonishment. "Xiao Hua, I can¡¯t believe you are part of this as well." If she remembered correctly, this fellow was the spokesperson of a certain god with a rather amicable rtionship with her. Why had he gotten mixed up with these people?

    Xiao Hua: "..."

    Without a doubt, this Xiao Hua was one of Chen Feng¡¯s scam victims.

    "Sorry, Lord Goddess." Xiao Hua¡¯s gloomy gaze swept across Chen Feng and sighed. "This is hard to exin in few words."

    "..."

    Luck Goddess followed his gaze and looked over. Even if that person had been hiding behind everyone, despite his lowered head, Luck Goddess was still able to recognize him with a single look.

    Luck Goddess was somewhat astonished. "Chen Feng..."

    Chen Feng had no choice but to walk out of the crowd. "Hey, long time no see."

    This guy really knows the Luck Goddess?

    Everyone was stunned. They had initially believed that Chen Feng had been telling them pure lies.

    The Luck Goddess felt her head aching. "Is there a need for this?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s rtionship with her was too unique, rendering her incapable of both killing and sparing him.

    Chen Feng spoke lovingly. "Even if you sealed your emotions toward me, your body will remember it." At this, the Luck Goddess¡¯s expression darkened as the memory of the time when she had been dragged into the ck room by Chen Feng surfaced. That innocence from back then, the innocence of a first love, was seemingly still lingering about her heart. As for the others around them, they were thoroughly dumbfounded.

    Hold on, this script... did not seem to be ying out like they had imagined?

    Chen Feng¡¯s scam victims were all watching on expectantly, waiting for the plot to develop in a simr direction as a famous movie, Primordial Heat . This movie had been famous during the Primordial Era, as even back then, watching these movies that only required two or three people to create with their abilities had been a rather popr pastime as well. As for Zhou Ye¡¯s group, their expressions darkened. The rtionship between these two...

    Could it be...

    Holy shit, they wouldn¡¯t be suddenly affectionate after a quarrel, right? If that really happened, then it would be way too excessive! Did these two truly think they were the characters in Primordial Heat ? Fortunately, the Luck Goddess was not moved by Chen Feng.

    She looked at him coldly. "I am the one who spared your life."

    Chen Feng shrugged. "I know. Therefore, this time, I will spare your life as well."

    The Luck Goddess¡¯s killing intent surged. "You are courting death." She finally realized that this Chen Feng fellow was truly an annoying person. If she allowed him to remain alive, he might continue creating problems, or maybe he¡¯d start shooting his mouth off, talking all sorts of nonsense...

    Shortly afterward, the Luck Goddess decided that she might as well get this over with rather than prolonging the agony. She would directly kill Chen Feng here. Even if she would be pained by it in the future, even if she would regret this in the future... she would deal with this right here!

    Bang!

    The Luck Goddess¡¯s terrifying power started rippling out.

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was sharp. "Here shees!"

    "They started fighting!"

    Zhou Ye¡¯s group heaved a sigh of relief. That¡¯s right, this was how the plot should develop.

    "Go!" Zhou Ye barked. Next, thirty-odd resonators, each with a unique godly power, surrounded the Luck Goddess. s, horrifying them all, all their powers vanished into nothing. They had all failed their resonance.

    They were all horrified. "How is this possible?"

    "With the godly power of the Luck Goddess, she is capable of transforming any probability into 0%, which also applies to all your abilities," Chen Feng reminded them.

    They were all rmed when they heard this. Generally speaking, the release of powerful abilities would not have a 100% sess rate, as there would always be a slight probability of failure. As for the Luck Goddess, with her unique godly power, she had crippled half theirbat strength right off the bat.

    "So we can only use abilities with a 100% sess rate?" Zhou Ye asked quickly. When using basic abilities, their sess rate would definitely be 100%.

    Chen Feng spoke coldly. "No. Continue using abilities that are affected by probability. The Luck Goddess has limited godly power remaining. Since she is willing to waste her godly power to change all probabilities to zero, let her continue the exhaustion. I am curious as to how much longer she canst."

    "Understood."

    Zhou Ye and the rest understood the n.

    Bang! Bang!

    Numerous terrifying godly powers bloomed before vanishing into nothingness like fireworks.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    In truth, the scene ying out truly appeared rather humorous. A bunch of people were surrounding the Luck Goddess and shooting numerous godly powers at her. All the powersnded on her, but none were able to hurt her, since all the godly powers copsed the moment theynded on her. One time, two times, three times...

    After more than 10 times, everyone had already exhausted a huge portion of their godly power. When they noticed that the Luck Goddess still had a toying smile on her mouth, they realized that something was wrong. The Luck Goddess... seemed to still have a lot of godly power remaining!

    Chen Feng frowned. "This is not possible." It was impossible for the Luck Goddess to have so much godly power remaining. If she truly had so much, she would have been able to easily kill all of them even when they had been on the saltke. Why would she have needed to slowly send attacks toward them in waves? And yet, right now, she...

    Chen Feng looked at the Luck Goddess before shutting both his eyes. Suddenly, a pensive look appeared on his face. There, behind the Luck Goddess, from the lush forest, he sensed a surging godly power. This power was unique to the Forest Goddess.

    Chen Feng was startled. "You are absorbing the godly power of the Forest Goddess!" It was no wonder that she still had so much godly power to spare. The present Forest Goddess had yet to recover. With the Luck Goddess absorbing her godly power in this manner, the Forest Goddess would definitely suffer a great loss, one she would require countless years to recover from. And if all her godly power was exhausted by the Luck Goddess, even if she did awaken, she would be no different than a cripple.

    How ruthless.

    All of them were rmed. They had initially believed that the Luck Goddess was only ruthless toward her enemies. Surprisingly, she was also ruthless to those on her side. With this, after awakening, the Forest Goddess would have no choice but to forever stay a subordinate of the Luck Goddess.

    Zhou Ye was not surprised at all. "How else did she gain a reputation for being shameless?"

    "Hmph."

    The Luck Goddess swept her gaze past them coldly, not even interested in offering an exnation to these bugs. A faint godly power started emanating from her hands.

    Bang!

    Instantly, Zhou Ye and the rest were heavily injured. That¡¯s right. Without using any abilities, merely a shockwave of luck power was sufficient to heavily injure all of them.

    Zhou Ye and the rest were rmed. "How is this possible?"

    Indeed...

    Chen Feng did not find this surprising. it was as he had guessed. When the godly power of luck reached a certain amount, it was almost unrivaled. Doing something like forcing one¡¯s consciousness or physical body to mutate negatively would be way too simple. Even Chen Feng had been able to easily deal with four resonators using luck back then, let alone the Luck Goddess. At present, the Luck Goddess was unrivaled!

    "This won¡¯t do..."

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. The godly power of luck was way too powerful. If this was allowed to continue, only death would await them. As his thoughts reached this point, his gaze swirled around, skipping past the Luck Goddess andnding on the forest behind her. There, a faint radiance was glowing, seemingly calling upon something. Was that the godly power of the Forest Goddess? Chen Feng thought of something.

    "Give me some time," Chen Feng whispered to Zhou Ye.

    Zhou Ye clenched his teeth. "Understood."

    Shua!

    With a sh, Chen Feng dashed into the forest.

    "Get your ass out here!" the Luck Goddess shouted as godly power surged out of her hands. She was aware that Chen Feng wasn¡¯t too strong. However, due to their unique rtionship, as far as she was concerned, Chen Feng¡¯s presence was akin to a brightmp. He thought he could enter the forest without being noticed by her? How was that possible?

    Bang!

    Godly power poured out. With a wave, the Luck Goddess hurled her godly power at Chen Feng.

    Bang!

    A loud boom resounded. When the dust cleared, it could be seen that Zhou Ye had blocked the attack on behalf of Chen Feng.

    Pu¡ª

    He started coughing blood, but he did not seem to care as he curled his lips. "Even if you are the Luck Goddess, aren¡¯t you being somewhat egotistical by trying to attack Chen Feng while fighting all of us at the same time?"

    "Hehe."

    The Luck Goddess nced over and noted that Chen Feng had smoothly entered the forest. She knew that Chen Feng wasn¡¯t particrly strong, but she held an innate vignce toward everything pertaining to him. As such, she was immediately on guard as she vowed to not allow Chen Feng to act recklessly within the forest.

    Shua!

    Once again, the godly power of luck surged out. If she could not kill Chen Feng with a direct attack, she might as well use her foundational ability: luck.

    Shua!

    A faint radiance shed out. Next, multiple powerful and terrifying radiances appeared from the void and directlynded on Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    Bang!

    A bright explosion followed. Immediately after, Chen Feng discovered in stupefaction that he had suddenly gained a huge amount of misfortune points.

    Oh...

    He had used up quite an amount of misfortune points earlier and had still been worrying about hisck of misfortune points. Surprisingly, this Luck Goddess was so kind to hand over a huge amount of misfortune points to him just like that. Evidently, the Luck Goddess had once again converted luck into misfortune to deal with Chen Feng.

    "Worthy of being my beloved Spirit indeed," Chen Feng muttered. His gaze swirled around as he continued searching the forest. Following the trails of the godly power of luck, he finally found the source of her godly power. Somewhere within the forest was a glowing fruit.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. So it was you!

    Bang! Bang!

    Wave after wave of attacks arrived from the Luck Goddess. As a result, Chen Feng¡¯s misfortune points increased from 20 points to 50 points, 80 points, 100, points, 200 points... increasing at a speedy rate. It was at this point that the Luck Goddess felt that something wasn¡¯t right.

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    Why were her attacks ineffective against Chen Feng? Why? She was way too clear on how strong Chen Feng was. She was also incredibly clear on the abilities Chen Feng had, even more clear than Chen Feng himself. That was why she did not fear him. She was clear that all the miracles Chen Feng had ever created had been reliant on luck.

    Essentially, all his aplishments were thanks to her. The Luck Goddess took pride in this and was aware that it was because of this that, as Chen Feng had lost his Luck Aura, he was now nothing. This had always been her opinion. Yet why were luck attackspletely ineffective against him? Why?

    Had Chen Feng gained immunity since he used to own Luck Aura? Or perhaps Spirit¡ªor more urately, she herself¡ªhad deliberately done this before her emotions had been sealed? This was what was giving the Luck Goddess a feeling of difort. She did not fear Chen Feng, nor did she fear any enemies. However, she could clearly feel that a portion of Spirit¡¯s memories had been erased prior to the fusion. Before she had fused with the other her, part of her memory had been deleted!

    What were the contents of the deleted memories? An uncensored version of their life in the ck room? She had no idea. Was it rted to Chen Feng¡¯s immunity to her luck? She was clueless.

    Perhaps Spirit had been afraid that she would directly kill Chen Feng after the fusion. Therefore, she had altered Chen Feng¡¯s constitution. Mhm... That was quite probable. The Luck Goddess sighed at the thought of being set up by herself.

    Bang!

    The bright explosions around her continued. The attacks of Zhou Ye and the rest intensified. Although none of the attacks were effective, this sudden change in tempo caused the Luck Goddess to further increase her vignce. She gazed into the distance and noted that Chen Feng had discovered that fruit, the core of the Forest Goddess.

    Luck Goddess smiled. "So this is your goal?" Getting Zhou Ye¡¯s group to tangle with her while he himself rushed in, making use of his immunity to luck, all this to put a check on her godly power? How ridiculous. That was the Forest Goddess they were trying to check here!

    ...

    "Is it thanks to this thing here?"

    Chen Feng could clearly feel the unending supply of godly power from this fruit.

    Mhm...

    How should one describe this fruit? It looked like a coconut that had had a straw stuck in it by the Luck Goddess, who was presently sucking out godly power without stop. Chen Feng could clearly see godly power surging out of the small hole without stop and then flowing into the Luck Goddess¡¯s body. Splendid. So long as this absorption was stopped... Chen Feng tried blocking the flow with something.

    Hum¡ª

    The godly power continued to flow. In fact, the connection between the Luck Goddess and this fruit was an illusory link that was immune to normal interferences.

    Luck Goddess shook her head and sneered. "Idiotic human... Can the likes of you even hope to understand the might of a god?"

    Bang!

    Her godly power erupted, and instantly, two resonators received grave injuries. They could no longer hold on.

    Bang! Bang!

    Chen Feng tried numerous methods capable of blocking auras but still failed to stop the outflow.

    He got so annoyed that he decided to directly destroy this fruit. "Damn it."

    Sorry, Forest Goddess.

    Since he couldn¡¯t stop the Luck Goddess¡¯s absorption, he had no choice but to destroy this fruit. Unknown to him, the Luck Goddess¡¯s face still held the same toying expression.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng smashed down resolutely.

    Ka!

    A crisp sound echoed, but the fruit suffered no damage.

    The Luck Goddess shook her head. "How stupid."

    If the core of a god could be destroyed so easily, they would have died countless times in the past. It seemed like she had indeed overestimated Chen Feng. Without luck value, he was indeed not worthy of her attention.

    "Let us end this," Luck Goddess said with a calm expression.

    A mighty godly power erupted. Bang!

    Zhou Ye looked at Chen Feng with a bitter smile. "Is this your n?"

    Earlier, Chen Feng had worn an expression of absolute confidence, causing everyone to believe that he had a special technique capable of stopping this battle. Unexpectedly... this was his so-called n? Wasn¡¯t itmon sense that the core of a god could not be destroyed? This Chen Feng fellow...

    By this point, they were already speechless. To send Chen Feng into the forest, they had exhausted all their energy. The Luck Goddess¡¯s next attack was already underway. It seemed like they would die for real this time.

    Bang!

    The godly power descended.

    Their hearts chilled. "It¡¯s over."

    As for the Luck Goddess, with a sneer on her face, she prepared to kill them all. However, at thest moment, she instinctively nced over at Chen Feng and was instantly shocked by what she saw.

    Her expression changed greatly. "Chen Feng, what are you doing?!"

    Everyone else looked over as well. There, above the indestructible fruit, a pen-shaped thing had been taken out by Chen Feng. Next, he aimed the pen at the hole in the fruit, then inserted the pen.

    Plop!

    A familiar inserting sound could be heard.

 Chapter 727: I Heard That You Gods Can Alsoâ€¦ Do Thatâ€¦

    Chapter 727: I Heard That You Gods Can Also... Do That...

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    ??

    Everyone was dumbfounded.

    "What are you doing?"

    This was Zhou Ye¡¯s first reaction. Had this guy gone crazy? What was the point of poking the Forest Goddess? However, he soon reacted to what truly mattered. Why in the world was Chen Feng even able to insert into that pen? This was the core of a god, which could also be known as a divine tool. Zhou Ye nced over and confirmed that Chen Feng had truly inserted the pen into the fruit. How was this possible?

    Zhou Ye was thoroughly dumbstruck. As for the others around him, they were simrly stupefied. Evidently, none of them had recovered from the shock. As for the Luck Goddess, she wasn¡¯t any better off than the others. One ought to know that even the Luck Goddess herself was incapable of dealing any sort of damage to the Forest Goddess¡¯s core.

    Even for her, she had to use her godly power of luck to influence the fruit into naturally generating a small hole by itself so that she could absorb the Forest Goddess¡¯s godly power. The core of a god was, for all intents and purposes, indestructible. Yet this Chen Feng had forcefully inserted something into one such core! She nced over and noted that the hole she had created was extremely tiny, whereas the pen Chen Feng was holding wasparativelyrger than the hole. Just like that, this pen had been forcefully inserted into the fruit.

    This scene... Zhou Ye and the rest trembled when they saw it. Suddenly, they felt likeing here with Chen Feng was no different than courting death. Indeed, they had been hostile to the Luck Goddess since the Primordial Era. However, they had still maintained respect toward the other gods. But now... it seemed like Chen Feng had done irreversible damage. One did not need to be a genius to figure out that once the Forest Goddess awakened, none of them would be let off.

    Everyone¡¯s heart chilled. "Chen Feng, screw you!"

    Luck Goddess was almost infuriated into insanity. "You... what are you doing?"

    Chen Feng curled his lips. "Sealing your source of godly power."

    "No, this is sphemy toward a god!" The Luck Goddess was so furious that she started shuddering. She had never seen a person dare to insult a god in such a manner. This Chen Feng fellow clearlycked even the smallest amount of respect toward gods. What was she supposed to tell the Forest Goddess in the future? Although the Forest Goddess had yet to awaken, her consciousness was definitely there. When she finally woke up...

    The Luck Goddess was copsing emotionally as she imagined the consequences. At this moment...

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. The link of godly power between the Forest Goddess and the Luck Goddess was finally severed. Chen Feng had indeed sealed the godly power of the Forest Goddess with a single pen.

    Chen Feng appeared pleased. "See, it works."

    With the link severed, the Luck Goddess would not have much godly power to spare. So long as they defeated her, they would be able to smoothly retreat afterward.

    Zhou Ye and the rest merelyughed dryly. "Hehehehe." Indeed, with this, they would be able to deal with this Luck Goddess. s, in the future, another god, the Forest Goddess, would be hostile toward them. It was all because of this damned Chen Feng!

    "What¡¯s the point of thinking about it so much?" Chen Feng red at them, then pointed at the Luck Goddess. "Grab her."

    Bang!

    Everyone shot forth.

    "You dare?" The Luck Goddess was furious. Unfortunately, at present, she didn¡¯t have much Godly Power. She was only able to resist for a short period of time before being seized. Finally, they had achieved their goal ining here.

    Zhou Ye was emotional. "Finally, the time hase to settle my grudge..."

    Chen Feng shed a wide smile as he looked at them. "How does it feel? The only existing god at present has been captured by you guys. Hehe, don¡¯t you guys feel like you are the elites of this era?"

    As the rest heard this, they were in high spirits. Indeed, that was true. After all, they had captured a god alive!

    Zhou Ye was still able to maintain his calm. "So how should we deal with her?"

    Everyone looked at the Luck Goddess. "Kill?"

    The Luck Goddess sneered, and her icy cold voice resounded, "Hehe. I am a god, undying and inextinguishable. Even if I fall to slumber here yet again, when I wake up in the future, I will be able to regain what I have lost. Do not think that since it will be many years in the future, it will have nothing to do with you guys. I know a lot of gods, and they have numerous powerful abilities capable of dragging you guys back... At that time... I shall have my sweet revenge!"

    As the rest heard this, their hearts chilled. Shit. Even Zhou Ye felt his scalp tingling. They had hated this Luck Goddess for way too long. Perhaps each of them had, in fact, been of the opinion that this mission would not seed and thus had not thought of a method to deal with her should they seed. Even when talking about it in passing, they had simply said that they would kill her. But now... how should they kill her? How could they?

    Everyone looked at Chen Feng. After all, this operation was led by him. "What do you n to do?"

    Chen Feng did not hesitate. "I want her to die."

    Zhou Ye: "..." Holy shit, hatred born from love is indeed scary.

    For people like them, their grudge had persisted for so long time itself had diluted their feelings toward it. Rather, it was this Chen Feng here who wanted to kill the Luck Goddess due to the stupid melodramatic rtionship between him and her. However... this was a god he was thinking of killing here. The gods had all died during the Primordial Era, yet here they were, alive again.

    The only exception was... Everyone looked over at Zhou Ye as their thoughts came to this point. Zhou Ye¡¯s father was also a god, yet he had been killed for real, not leaving any trace of his existence behind.

    "It is very troublesome to aplish," Zhou Ye said with a bitter smile. "To truly erase a god, even a single god, requires the joint effort of a huge number of gods. This feat is simply impossible for a regr person."

    Everyone sank into silence. They looked at the tied-up Luck Goddess and nked. In short, even after capturing her, they were still helpless against her?

    Zhou Ye looked at Chen Feng. "You two are rather familiar with each other, right?"

    Chen Feng had a mncholic look on him. "Yeah. However, she sealed off her emotions from that period, keeping only the memories. As such, she no longer cares about me now."

    Zhou Ye: "..."

    Fine, gods are indeed capable of anything.

    And thus, here at the edge of the forest, Chen Feng and the other resonators stared at the Luck Goddess, anxiety stered all over their faces. By the side was a fruit with a pen inserted into it. Mhm... What a beautiful scene.

    "Do you have any ideas?" Chen Feng asked the Misfortune Goddess. s, even the Misfortune Goddess could not think of anything. The act of erasing a god required extremely unique methods, and excessively harsh conditions would have to be fulfilled as well. With just Chen Feng and these resonators here, it was impossible.

    Chen Feng curled his lips. "Is it really so hard?"

    Zhou Ye smiled bitterly. "Of course. I am not too clear on how to erase a god. However, I happen to know of a certain requirement. To erase a god, first you must kill all of the god¡¯s believers."

    Chen Feng was utterly dumbstruck. All the believers? What kind of joke was that? This was the Luck Goddess! Even in his previous godless world, a bunch of people had still believed in luck and would try anything to get better luck, let alone this world, this era, where gods existed for real.

    Chen Feng was sure that in this world, there was definitely a huge number of people silently praying for good luck. Mhm... At the very least, this applied to those producers at the Gene Production Association, since luck yed a huge role in gene production. Hence, if one wanted to erase the Luck Goddess, one would have to first kill half of all existing life-forms?

    Zhou Ye shrugged. "That is truly one of the requirements for erasing a god. To truly erase a god, the most basic requirement is to cause the god to have no believers. Naturally, we do not even need to kill the god. We only need to ensure the god will have no believers, even for a single instant. That would be sufficient."

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. "How is that even possible, though?" If it was any other god, fine. But this was the Luck Goddess...

    Zhou Ye smiled bitterly. "This is why she was able to be one of the strongest gods in existence back then. Because she is undying."

    "Is it truly so hard to kill a god?" Chen Feng muttered as he regarded the Luck Goddess in front of him. Maid training would most probably not work, since he had already attempted it with Spirit in the past. How about other methods?

    The Luck Goddess wore a look of disdain and sneered as she regarded this group of pathetic people. "Hehe." How could ying a god be so easy? This was especially true when the ones attempting were simply a group of resonators that had yet to even fully recover their own strength in the first ce. This mission of theirs was nothing but a joke. However, when she saw Chen Feng¡¯s gaze, the gaze of someone harboring evil designs, her heart thumped.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng spoke. "Zhou Ye. You are the descendant of a god, right?"

    Zhou Ye nodded. "Mhm."

    Chen Feng had a faint smile as he asked, "In short, gods can make babies as well?"

    The Luck Goddess¡¯s eyes went wide. What was this guy trying to do?

 Chapter 728: Betrayal

    Chapter 728: Betrayal

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "What are you thinking of doing?" the Luck Goddess asked, her eyes wide.

    Chen Feng pondered shortly and said, "I am considering an extremely serious question. You can seal your emotions. You can also erase your memories. But if you have a child, I reckon you won¡¯t kill your own child, right? Mhm..."

    The Luck Goddess trembled. Zhou Ye and the rest were so shocked that they shivered upon hearing this. Holy shit! What was this guy thinking of doing?

    Zhou Ye trembled. "Do not act recklessly." At this point, he was already regretting his decision to follow Chen Feng here. Shortly after inserting the pen into the Forest Goddess... her core... Chen Feng was now nning to do a proper "insertion," one with the Luck Goddess? Everyone felt their lips go dry. They were all from the Primordial Era. They were all aware of how terrifying that era had been. Each of them had a clear idea of how powerful gods were. As such, when it came to gods, even if the god was an enemy, they would still feel an innate fear.

    Yet this Chen Feng... did not seem to know fear.

    Zhou Ye smiled bitterly. "You will create a huge mess if you insist." Just imagine the scene where, during the Primordial Era, if the almighty and noble gods found that one of them was raped in such an insulting manner... What would the other gods think about this? Even gods hostile to the Luck Goddess would not let the offender off! This was not simply an act of offending the Luck Goddess alone. Rather, this was an act of provoking all the gods in existence. Zhou Yue advised Chen Feng earnestly.

    Chen Feng felt regretful. "I truly can¡¯t do it?"

    "No, you can¡¯t." Zhou Ye tried his very best to stop Chen Feng. He was truly worried that Chen Feng would go and "do" the Luck Goddess due to hisck of consideration. Holy shit, he had heard before that the single guys of this era were very scary. However, he had never expected that the scariness of these single guys could reach this level, that they dared even think of doing it with a god.

    Chen Feng nodded regretfully. "Fine." He had no choice but to agree to this, since even the Misfortune Goddess within him was frantically trying to stop him from creating a huge mess.

    Chen Feng curled his lips. "What cowards." Why would they have so much consideration for an enemy?

    The Misfortune Goddess: "..."

    At this point, even the Misfortune Goddess regretted her choice in selecting Chen Feng. She kept feeling that this fellow¡¯s brain was filled with troublesome ideas, as he would always thought of numerous despicable schemes. Was he not worried that, one of these days, his own schemes would be the cause of his death? Finally, after being persuaded from many sides, Chen Feng gave up on this idea he had deemed perfect.

    "Do not worry. I was merely joking," Chen Feng said with a wide smile.

    Hehehehehe.

    The others allughed dryly, not buying what he said.

    "What else can we do, then?" Chen Feng asked as he looked over at the Luck Goddess.

    "..."

    At this point, the Luck Goddess was getting panicky. She was a god, one who dared to face anyone, even other gods. Her dignity as a god would not allow her to submit to anyone. Even in death, she would still remain the noble Luck Goddess! Therefore, even after being captured, she had no fear whatsoever. However, this Chen Feng here was the sole exception...

    She was truly anxious, as she had noticed that as far as this Chen Feng was concerned, she was no god. Rather, she was a sweetmb waiting for ughter. For him to even think of making babies with her, she wondered what other bad ideas he woulde up with.

    Suddenly, she recalled something. It was no wonder that Chen Feng came up with such ideas. He was from a different world. His mindset had been forged from his lives in two worlds. Even back then, when they had still been together, Chen Feng had already been filled with such despicable ideas. However, at that time, Chen Feng had still been trying to stay on the side of justice and had kept his despicable schemes somewhat in check.

    Yet now... When she took away all his strength, Chen Feng seemed to have joined the dark side?

    "Chen Feng! I admit that it was my bad. Before leaving, I shouldn¡¯t have drawn out all your strength. Look, you guys can¡¯t kill me anyway. Why don¡¯t we forget about it? You guys let me go, and I promise to never seek revenge for this. I can even sign a contract of gods. I will give you guys a perfect ending for this incident. The Forest Goddess and the other gods... I will not try to awaken them anymore. What do you think? Yes, Zhou Ye and you guys... I know I owe you guys a lot. The things that happened back then, I willpensate you guys for after I regain my godly power. Amplepensation will be given, ensuring you guys or even your descendants can stay ahead of everyone else. How about this? After all, even if you guys kill me now, it will be pointless," the Luck Goddess said.

    They exchanged nces, somewhat tempted. True, why had they stayed hostile with the Luck Goddess for so many years? Hatred? Against a goddess that would not die, what could they do about their hatred? As for those who had merely inherited their hatred from a previous generation, time had erased the hatred, leaving behind nothing but a habit, a habit of staying hostile to the Luck Goddess.

    And now, the Luck Goddess being willing to apologize and evenpensate them was sufficient for them to settle for peace.

    "I am willing to sign a contract of gods." The Luck Goddess had fully admitted defeat. Perhaps in the future, she would still remain a noble and almighty god. However, the moment she signed the contract, she would no longer be able to do anything toward these people here. Rather, she would be forced to protect them instead.

    "I want everyone... and their descendants... to live good lives without encountering any hups," Zhou Ye said solemnly.

    "Done," Luck Goddess agreed without hesitation. For others, this would be a difficult request. However, for the Luck Goddess, this was simple.

    Zhou Ye shut his eyes. "Good." He knew that this was the only way that they could end this incident. He was still feeling indignant, but everyone here had people they cared about. He was the only one here without any rtives or people to care for. As such, what was the point in staying stubborn? In any case, these were the people who had survived through the Primordial Era with him... It was about time he stopped dragging them down.

    Perhaps the time hade for him to let go of the grudge involving his father. Zhou Ye reached a decision.

    "Then... let us sign the contract," he said.

    The Luck Goddess was overjoyed. "Good." She found this contract insulting. However, so long as she signed it, she would be free of Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng was feeling deep regret. "In truth, we can ask for more." He felt like, at this moment, that little me within him representing his viinous side was zing like a sun.

    Zhou Ye shook his head. "This much is enough." As long as she satisfied these requests, he would forget about everything.

    "Fine." Chen Feng smiled. "Misfortune Goddess, it is about time for you to do what you promised me," Chen Feng said inwardly.

    Misfortune Goddess was somewhat anxious. "Is this... fine?"

    "What about it isn¡¯t fine? Hehe. That child sacrificed way too much for me. This is what I owe her," Chen Feng said calmly.

    "Fine," the Misfortune Goddess agreed, feeling somewhat helpless.

    She had felt like her partnership with Chen Feng was a road of no return. She couldn¡¯t help but wonder if this choice of hers was correct... At this time, the Luck Goddess and the rest were preparing to sign the contract.

    Shua!

    The contract of gods started glowing. Just as they were about to sign it, the fruit of the Forest Goddess started glowing. A terrifying power rippled out, causing the entire forest to tremble.

    Everyone¡¯s expression sank. "This..." The Forest Goddess was going to wake up soon! What was going on? Everyone was dumbstruck. Zhou Ye looked over at the Luck Goddess with an unsightly expression. To his surprise, he saw a bewildered expression on the Luck Goddess¡¯s face. She was clearly as confused as he was.

    The Luck Goddess was shocked. "This is not possible. Without the assistance of the godly power of luck, it is impossible for her to awaken."

    "Luck..." Suddenly, Zhou Ye realized something. "Chen Feng!!!"

    They turned around to look at Chen Feng and found that, as of an unknown time, Chen Feng had disappeared. They had merely agreed to sign a contract, yet Chen Feng was already gone. As for the pen that had been inserted into the fruit earlier... it had vanished as well.

    Zhou Ye nked. "We have been tricked!" He had truly never expected that during such a crucial moment, Chen Feng would mess with them. This person, the one who had led them all here, was the very one who was messing this up.

    "Chen Feng!" Zhou Ye howled. He had truly never expected that Chen Feng would betray them.

    Chen Feng¡¯s unhurried voice drifted over from the edge of the forest. "As I said... I want her dead. You guys might be willing topromise; however, that does not apply to me. I am not a traitor to the cause. You guys are."

    The Luck Goddess nked. "Chen Feng?" She had no idea what Chen Feng wanted to do. But since the seal had been released...

    Shua!

    She could once again feel the surging godly power within her.

    Bang! Bang!

    The earth started trembling.

    The Forest Goddess is on the verge of awakening?

    Luck Goddess checked the amount of godly power she had. Next, she hesitated momentarily before waving her hand, forcefully suppressing the awakening of the Forest Goddess. It was still not the time for the Forest Goddess to awaken. The Forest Goddess, the moment she awakened, would definitely stop lending her godly power to the Luck Goddess. At that time, the Luck Goddess would be in a different sort of trouble.

    The only reason the Luck Goddess was even awakening the Forest Goddess was so she could obtain a helper, since the Forest Goddess was the most obedient one of them all. However, if the Forest Goddess¡¯s strength exceeded a certain level, this obedience would no longer be guaranteed. As such, she decided to first suppress the awakening before anything else happened. If things truly did not y out as she nned... The Luck Goddess¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly as she thought of a possibility.

    Bang!

    She started absorbing a huge amount of godly power from the Forest Goddess. This time, she would not allow any mishaps to happen. As for these people here...

    Shua!

    Her eyes gleamed coldly.

    Bang!

    Godly power erupted. Since Chen Feng had taken the Misfortune Pen with him, the Luck Goddess was once again linked with the Forest Goddess and was once again filled with power.

    Bang!

    She waved her hand. Next, a huge number of resonators died one after another.

    Zhou Ye was furious. "Luck Goddess!"

    The Luck Goddess merely snorted coldly as a reply. "Hmph!"

    A terrifying godly power erupted. Even Zhou Ye, the son of a god, could do nothing but defend and watch on as the terrifying godly power engulfed him.

    Shua! Shua!

    Resonators died one after another. Under the rage of the Luck Goddess, none of them were able to escape.

    "Chen Feng..." Zhou Ye clenched his teeth. "What do you want, exactly?"

    He truly could not understand. If Chen Feng wanted to kill the Luck Goddess, why had he unsealed her source of power? Why would he allow the Luck Goddess to once again establish a connection with the Forest Goddess? He felt like Chen Feng¡¯s brain was damaged, to havee to such a decision.

    "Chen Feng, the next person to die will be you," the Luck Goddess said, boundless godly luck power swirling around her. Earlier, she had been trying to restrict the usage of godly power to avoid damaging the Forest Goddess. But now, in her rage, she no longer cared and was instead absorbing the Forest Goddess¡¯s power without stop.

    Bang!

    A formidable godly power bloomed. The huge group of resonators all died, leaving only Zhou Ye, who was struggling with great difficulty.

    The Luck Goddess sneered. "Descendant of a god?"

    Bang!

    With a single kick, Zhou Ye started coughing blood. It was quite clear that he was stronger than the other resonators. However, that was all there was to it. Facing the relentless Luck Goddess, he couldn¡¯t persevere much longer.

    Pu!

    Yet another mouthful of blood was coughed up.

    "I can¡¯tst any longer?" His expression dimmed. "It is unfortunate that I wasn¡¯t able to kill you."

    The Luck Goddess sneered. "That is because of your own greed for the benefits you stood to gain. If you guys had trulye after me due to the grudges we had, why would you guys even consider signing the contract?"

    Zhou Ye smiled bitterly. "I..." His hatred toward the Luck Goddess was indeed irreconcble. However, when those people had decided to give up on revenge to obtain some benefits, he had decided topromise for their sake, as those people had dedicated their lives to him.

    s, he had neglected Chen Feng. True, they had all agreed to sign the contract, but what about Chen Feng? After all, the biggest reason he had wanted to kill the Luck Goddess was probably the Misfortune Goddess, right? He did not me Chen Feng. It was as Chen Feng had said: they were the ones who had betrayed him.

    However, since Chen Feng wanted the Luck Goddess dead, why had he released the Forest Goddess? Zhou Ye could not understand.

    Chen Feng... what exactly are you nning to do?

    Bang!

    A surge of godly power sted forth. Once again, Zhou Ye was flung away. This time around, he remained on the ground for a much longer time. This time, he was probably going to die for real.

    Zhou Ye gazed at the sky helplessly and watched on as the Luck Goddess approached him, as that terrifying attack neared him. Right at this instant, the forest suddenly trembled.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    The entire edge of the forest started trembling furiously.

    The Luck Goddess had a bad premonition.

    This...

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The seething godly power of the Forest Goddess increased in intensity.

    "How is this possible?"

    The Luck Goddess couldn¡¯t believe it. How had the Forest Goddess resumed the awakening? She had obviously been suppressed. With the Luck Goddess¡¯s boundless godly power of luck, it should be impossible for the Forest Goddess to resume her awakening. It would be apt to say that as of this moment, awakening was an impossibility for the Forest Goddess.

    Suddenly, Zhou Ye understood. "Hahaha!" He smiled. "Chen Feng... So it turns out you are nning to kill her this way..."

    "What are you saying?" The Luck Goddess¡¯s gaze was cold as she wondered how this could rte to Chen Feng. Hold on. Luck... And that pen of Chen Feng¡¯s... Why had it been able to seal the Forest Goddess¡¯s power earlier? Hold on... She had obviously absorbed all his strength... Luck... And that pen... Using Spirit¡¯s memories, the Luck Goddess was able to reach a conclusion: misfortune!

    That pen had been unearthed together with her back then! The Misfortune Goddess! Suddenly, all of her questions from earlier were answered. From the moment Chen Feng¡¯s group had entered the saltke, all the idents and coincidences that had happened were finally exinable. All of that had actually been the work of the Misfortune Goddess!

    "Bitch!"

    The Luck Goddess¡¯s expression sank. She had initiated the awakening of the Forest Goddess with the power of luck. Subsequently, she had converted luck into misfortune to force the Forest Goddess to stop awakening. And all that had most likely been sensed by the Forest Goddess even in her slumber. This was even truer now, since she was still linked with the Forest Goddess. Her act of absorbing arge portion of the Forest Goddess¡¯s godly power, nearly one-fifth of her power, was sufficient to turn them both against each other, making them enemies!

    "Not good."

    Ultimately, the Luck Goddess intelligent.

    After figuring out how everything was rted to that b*tch, Misfortune, she was able to quickly deduce the truth and was figure out her only option as of this moment: fleeing! With that slut, Misfortune, absorbing the misfortune power she had been using to suppress the Forest Goddess, the awakening was no longer stoppable; she had no choice but to flee. And yet...

    Bang!

    Suddenly, a terrifying power erupted. Near the forest, a seemingly boundless patch of vegetation started growing madly. No longer were these regr trees. Around each tree was formidable godly power.

    Shua! Shua!

    Once again, the forest was sealed up.

    Bang!

    The earth trembled, and a lush green started growing. Zhou Ye smiled at this sight. The Forest Goddess had finally awoken.

    Bang!

    A green branch swept out, forcefully flinging the escaping Luck Goddess into the forest once again.

    A tender voice sounded, "You... have been too excessive!"

    Evidently, the Luck Goddess¡¯s actions had thoroughly angered the Forest Goddess. The entirety of the forest seemed to be going berserk. A violent power was surging from the forest. Who was the one who had absorbed her power? Who was the one who had suppressed her awakening? And who was the one who had ultimately allowed her to awaken? The Forest Goddess was clear on all these things.

    The Luck Goddess¡¯s expression sank. "Not good."

    The Forest Goddess was indeed the most obedient, but she was also the most stubborn. During the Primordial Era, when everyone had been cursing the Luck Goddess, the Forest Goddess had stubbornly stuck around. Yet now, the moment she saw what kind of person the Luck Goddess was, she naturally possessed the most intense hatred toward the Luck Goddess. As such, the Luck Goddess had no intention of trying to argue her way out of this.

    Flee! This was all she could do now. Earlier, when she had first had that bad premonition, she had been able to absorb a huge amount of power before the awakening. She believed that with this much godly power, she would have no problem escaping. s, right as her godly power surged out, a sense of oppression appeared around her, as if this was what the heavens had mandated.

    "Misfortune!" the Luck Goddess shrieked furiously. It was this b*tch yet again!

 Chapter 730: Welcome Back

    Chapter 730: Wee Back

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Pu!

    The Forest Goddess¡¯s attacknded on her. As of this moment, any sort of superiority the Luck Goddess had was counteracted by the Misfortune Goddess. If her guess was correct, what Misfortune was using at present had been freshly absorbed from her, absorbed from the misfortune power she had been using to suppress the Forest Goddess earlier. This slut!

    Bang! Bang!

    The Luck Goddess tried to flee repeatedly, but she was sted back without stop.

    "I..."

    Bang!

    "You..."

    Bang!

    The Forest Goddess¡¯s attacks were unending. She was incredibly furious now. Initially, she was supposed to awaken quietly here in thisnd. She greatly enjoyed silence, but unexpectedly, the Luck Goddess had tried to awaken her early. Moreover, the Luck Goddess had even used that method to absorb her power, causing her core to be poked by that human... Toward the end, the Luck Goddess had even been trying to suppress her awakening! How hateful! The Luck Goddess had already crossed the line.

    Bang! Bang!

    Slowly, the terrifying attackse to a halt. On the ground was the Luck Goddess, covered in injuries.

    The Luck Goddess red at the Forest Goddess. "You... won¡¯t be able to kill me. The next time I return, I will teach you the terrifying consequences of betrayal."

    Bang!

    Yet another of the furious Forest Goddess¡¯s attacksnded.

    Pu!

    Once again, the Luck Goddess was hit.

    "I will not allow you to easily return," the tender voice replied. A green radiance glowed brightly. The green enveloped and permeated the Luck Goddess¡¯s body. Suddenly, the Luck Goddess¡¯s body became translucent.

    Zhou Ye¡¯s expression widened. "This..." It was rumored that the Forest Goddess was capable of erasing the consciousness of all existences. He had always believed that this only applied to regr life-forms. Surprisingly, even gods could be affected.

    "You... will not be able to truly erase me," the Luck Goddess coldly said. "At most... this will... only... dy my return... There will be... a day that I return... yet again..."

    Slowly, her life force dimmed and vanished.

    Shua!

    Her figure vanished thoroughly. Just like that, a god had been in.

    Zhou Ye was shaken. "Dead..." The Luck Goddess had ultimately died. Although this death was not eternal, the fact that her consciousness had been erased was shocking in itself, even if the Luck Goddess had still been able to converse clumsily. For her to recover both her physical body and consciousness, many years would be required, right? This was much more terrifying than the death of the pure physical body. The Forest Goddess was truthfully much more terrifying than she appeared to be.

    Shua!

    The green shone, and from the darkness, a little girl walked out. Zhou Ye shut both his eyes as this happened. He realized what he had done. He was clear that he would most probably not survive this encounter.

    The girl regarded him coldly. "Your name is Zhou Ye?"

    "Yes, Lord Goddess," Zhou Ye answered in a dispirited manner.

    "Very good. You shall temporarily be my spokesperson," the tender voice resounded.

    Zhou Ye nked. "Huh?"

    Her furious voice resounded throughout the entire forest. "Help me... locate... that... damnable evil person called Chen Feng!"

    Hum¡ª

    A green radiance swirled out. Next, Zhou Ye¡¯s body hovered in the air and his injuries started healing. On top of that, a brand-new godly power started echoing within his body. This was a power unique to the Forest Goddess.

    "Okay." Zhou Ye was overjoyed. It seemed like the Forest Goddess was a person of reason after all, for her to be aware of who her true enemy was. With what Chen Feng had done to her... Mhm... Zhou Ye reckoned that it wouldn¡¯t be long before Chen Feng was dead.

    "I will now go recover my strength. If you manage to find Chen Feng, call out my name," the Forest Goddess ordered.

    "Yes," Zhou Ye answered deferentially.

    Shua!

    With a sh, the Forest Goddess and her aura vanished into thin air.

    Although she had awakened, because of what the Luck Goddess had done, she was greatly weakened. As such, she would have to go in search of other forests to recover her strength.

    Zhou Ye looked around. "Chen Feng..." Chen Feng had gone missing at an indeterminate moment in time. Perhaps... he should go out and take a look at the human world. Chen Feng was a human and possessed an extraordinary status. As such, Zhou Ye was confident that he would be able to locate Chen Feng in the human world.

    However, he still couldn¡¯t understand why Chen Feng had decided to do what he had. Was a hatred birthed from love truly so terrifying? He would rather awaken the Forest Goddess, would rather be the enemy of such a powerful goddess, just so he could kill the Luck Goddess? What was Chen Feng¡¯s true goal? Zhou Ye could not understand. Or perhaps one could say that he had not known anything from the start.

    Chen Feng, what exactly do you want?

    Shua!

    Zhou Ye stood up and vanished in a green sh. At the forest¡¯s edge, only numerous patches of ruined forest were left behind. Apart from that, there were various godly powers lingering in the air and corpses sprawled everywhere. This ce would henceforth be known as an ominousnd. A cold breeze brushed past, blowing away the smell of death pervading this ce and bringing forth a certain figure to thisnd.

    All gone? Chen Feng wondered as he walked about. Both the Forest Goddess and Zhou Ye had left. Around him were just the corpses of resonators.

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. "See? Is this not the cost one ought to pay for greed? If you guys truly hated her, you guys would never have died here like this."

    The Misfortune Goddess: "..."

    "Well then. Time to start," Chen Feng indifferently said. Everything he had done had been for one single goal.

    The Misfortune Goddess: "..."

    "I have no intention of listening to any objections," Chen Feng said coldly.

    "..."

    The Misfortune Goddess remained silent for a short while before answering, "I understand."

    She did not want to do this, especially since she this was something she disliked doing. However, she dared not disobey Chen Feng, as she found that she feared the consequences. To be more urate, she feared Chen Feng.

    She had personally witnessed everything Chen Feng had done. She was also the only person aware of exactly what Chen Feng had done. With a flip of his hand, he could create clouds or summon rain as he wished. Moreover, if it had been either her or the Luck Goddess with such a pitiful amount of misfortune power, neither of them would have been able to aplish what Chen Feng had. The Misfortune Goddess had not felt the least bit of joy upon seeing the Luck Goddess get tricked, only fear.

    So it turned out that when a person gained such a thorough understanding of another person, things could be so terrifying? This should apply even to gods.

    Shua!

    The Misfortune Pen trembled. Next, a faint power of misfortune started converting into luck. The Misfortune Goddess unleashed all her stockpiled power, transforming it into the power of luck and proceeding to pierce through space itself, blending into the very location the Luck Goddess had fallen into earlier.

    Hum¡ª

    Radiance swirled about. Chen Feng watched on as everything unfolded, waiting for all the preparations to bepleted.

    He pointed at the air. "And now, wake up, Luck Goddess!"

    Bang!

    Instantly, a terrifying power started converging there. A huge whirlpool appeared there, and a seemingly boundless power started gathering there. The earth where the Luck Goddess had fallen started trembling. Next, a translucent figure appeared. Surprisingly, this was precisely the Luck Goddess. However, the present Luck Goddess was a mere translucent figure. She had a nk look, and both her eyes were suffused with white. This wless body of hers seemed more like an empty shell.

    "Her consciousness has been erased," the Misfortune Goddess confirmed.

    "Can it be reinstated?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Yes. However, a very, very long time will be required. Perhaps even longer time than the time between the Primordial Era and now..." The Misfortune Goddess was sure.

    Chen Feng was extremely pleased to hear this. "Splendid."

    Shua!

    A faint godly power started swirling about.

    Gently, Chen Feng pointed his finger at the Luck Goddess¡¯s forehead. "Time to wake up." Suddenly, the figure trembled. Next, the nk expression started moving, and those empty eyes suddenly filled with emotion again.

    Slowly, a smile unfolded on her face. "My little master."

    Chen Feng smiled. "Wee back." The Luck Goddess had indeed been killed. Her newly regained physical body had been killed, and her consciousness had been erased. However, one particr consciousness had remained. That was the consciousness that had followed Chen Feng in his rise, the consciousness that had been sealed off by the Luck Goddess when she had sealed away her emotions. That was the part of the Luck Goddess that was Spirit¡ªthe memories unique to Spirit alone. This had been Chen Feng¡¯s true goal, to resurrect Spirit! To resurrect that very consciousness that waspletely unrted to the Luck Goddess!

 Chapter 731: The Somewhat Awkward God-Slaying Process

    Chapter 731: The Somewhat Awkward God-ying Process

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Spirit had returned. In a way, this version of the Luck Goddess was iplete. However, it did not matter. As far as Chen Feng was concerned, this was the true Luck Goddess, since she was Spirit. This alone was sufficient for him.

    "Will she still return?" Chen Feng asked softly.

    "Mmm..." Spirit gave it some thought. "I guess so?"

    No matter what, the Luck Goddess was the Luck Goddess. Just as the Misfortune Goddess had mentioned, even if it would take a very long time, a day would arrive where she once again descended upon this world.

    "Mhm."

    Chen Feng sank into contemtion. Spirit had only remained because the Luck Goddess had thoroughly separated and sealed the emotions belonging to Spirit. If, the next time the Luck Goddess returned, she fused with Spirit, any death would probably result in Spirit¡¯s death as well. That was because the two of them were essentially one.

    "Let me think about it." Chen Feng regarded the Spirit before him as he vowed to think of a solution for this. He had no intention of keeping a time bomb by his side at all times. It would be way too dangerous for his liking. Mhm... Perhaps he could use a simple method capable of solving everything, such as... making a bunch of babies?

    This method was incredibly attractive. However, Chen Feng was sure that the moment the Luck Goddess returned and found out, considering how ruthless she was, she would do everything in her power to kill Chen Feng. Therefore, he needed to focus on suppressing her return.

    "Let me think. If your consciousnesses were essentially one to begin with..."

    Chen Feng had a pensive look as he contemted. Spirit and the Luck Goddess were unlike those clones. The two of them were essentially one, and therefore, so long as Spirit was alive, the Luck Goddess could return at any time. This was the most terrifying aspect.

    This signified that... the Luck Goddess was in fact contained within Spirit? Or perhaps... Chen Feng sank into yet another round of contemtion.

    Spirit opened her eyes wide and regarded Chen Feng. "Little master?"

    "Yes, I have an idea." Chen Feng had thought of an extremely simple solution: filling her up! Essentially, if the Luck Goddess was a consciousness that had transformed into countless particles after being destroyed and was hidden within Spirit¡¯s consciousness, what if Spirit¡¯s consciousness was all filled up? In his previous world, this had been one of the methods that could be used to prevent the recovery of deleted data.

    In his previous world, anything deleted from a phone orputer could be easily retrieved. This had also been the source of all those leaked xx videos. Those tech noobs hadn¡¯t known that the so-called deletion of data was in fact not true deletion, even after emptying the recycle bin. This was simr to the eventual recovery of Luck Goddess.

    However, if, after deleting the data, one filled the storage with lots of dummy data... depending on the circumstances, the previous data could be truly irrecoverable. This could simrly apply to the Luck Goddess. His intention was to stuff Spirit full so as to thoroughly erase the consciousness of the Luck Goddess.

    "Let me transmit some data to you," Chen Feng muttered. "However, do not try reading or understanding it. Within, there will be lots of repeating data. Just ignore it all. And don¡¯t delete it either. Let it fill your mind for now."

    "All right," Spirit agreed nkly.

    "Only start deleting data when it gets to the point that you can no longer hold any additional data," Chen Feng said.

    Spirit nodded. "All right."

    "Well then..." Chen Feng pointed at her forehead. "Let us begin."

    Bang!

    A huge volume of data surged into her mind. All of Chen Feng¡¯s experiences, everything he had seen and read, all the movies he had seen, numerous truths, imaginations, and illusions¡ªeverything was stuffed into Spirit¡¯s mind. Within was also a huge amount of repeating data. Instantly, everything was unleashed into Spirit.

    "Ah¡ª" Spirit sped her head, an expression of pain on her face. However, a goddess was still a goddess, after all. She was still able to resist the pain. Chen Feng had pushed his spiritual energy to the maximum and duplicated all the data a thousand times, yet Spirit was still able to endure and did not seem to have reached her limit.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    So strong? He had initially imagined that Spirit would not be able to take in all this. Surprisingly, he had instead failed to fill her up. Exactly how strong was the consciousness of a god?

    "In that case..." Chen Feng took in a deep breath. Earlier, he had transmitted only half of his life to Spirit. After all, there was still a huge amount of data that he felt was unsuitable for Spirit¡¯s eyes. However, it no longer mattered now. At a time like this, he had to give it everything he could.

    Bang!

    The other half of his life was duplicated a thousand times, then dumped into Spirit.

    Bang!

    It entered Spirit like a storm.

    Spirit grabbed at her head in pain. "Ah¡ª"

    Apart from the pain, there was also an odd expression on Spirit¡¯s face. That was because, this time, there was a lot of messy data being transmitted to her, including a huge amount of data with "uniquebels." Fortunately, after this trump card of Chen Feng¡¯s, Spirit¡¯s consciousness was finally stuffed full. Endless data filled every corner of Spirit¡¯s mind in a chaotic manner, not leaving any empty space.

    With this, the data¡ªor perhaps imprint¡ªof the Luck Goddess that was hidden within Spirit¡¯s consciousness was finally erased by the huge amount of data Chen Feng had flooded Spirit with. And thus, the Luck Goddess was officially dead.

    "Very good." Chen Feng was extremely pleased. "Done," he told Spirit.

    "Mhm..." She covered her pained expression and said, "Deleting repeating data."

    Shua!

    Out of the thousand copies, 999 were deleted. Instantly, a huge portion of Spirit¡¯s mind and consciousness were cleared, freeing her from the pain.

    "Repeats?" Chen Feng had a bad premonition. "Hey, Spirit, delete everything."

    Spirit pouted. "No way. Hmph, now, let me take a look at what you sent me earlier..."

    Chen Feng tried stopping her. "No, don¡¯t look!"

    "Huh?" Spirit¡¯s eyes went wide as she saw the specialbels Chen Feng had sent her earlier. Mhm... Western, Japanese, Korean...??? What... Chen Feng had actually sent her this ?

    Spirit was infuriated when she saw all this. "You..."

    "Cough, cough." Chen Feng had an awkward expression. "I had no choice. I didn¡¯t expect a god¡¯s consciousness to be so powerful."

    "Even so, why do these upy half of all the data you have?" Spirit asked with her eyes wide open wide, ring at Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng coughed. "I¡¯m a man. A hot-blooded male youth will always have numerous fantasies..."

    Spirit snorted."Hmph."

    In fact, Chen Feng hadn¡¯t just sent the videos he had actually seen. In order to truly erase the Luck Goddess, Chen Feng had also included the scenes he himself had imagined and dreamed up. Mhm... For example, back when he had seen the prettiest girl in his school, numerous fantasies had cropped up in his mind. He had acted as a director, producing numerous lovely scenes, from romance to "action," all yed out in his mind alone. On top of that, there were numerous cuts from various point of views as well.

    This was what he was most embarrassed about. Compared to these, his Western, Japanese, and Korean collections were nothing. Mhm... As Spirit explored the collection, she found numerous imagined scenes with Wang Yao... Huh? Why... was even Ming Yue in there??? Spirit found this unbelievable.

    "Erm... that... was only there due to my adoration toward beauty," Chen Feng exined. "Yes, that¡¯s why."

    "Hmph."

    Spirit continued browsing, and next, she saw it: herself! From their first encounter, when she had been naked, until their final moments in the dark room. Mhm... Numerous scenes were avable. Although Chen Feng had always maintained a dignified and calm expression during the training sessions in the dark room, the truth was that he was, after all, still a hot-blooded youth. As such, during that period, he had also self-directed numerous "scenes" in his mind.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Spirit: "..."

    The Misfortune Goddess: "..."

    Shua!

    The world seemed to have sunk into silence. The mood had be extremely awkward.

    "You are truly..." By this point, Spirit was already thoroughly speechless. It seemed like she had still underestimated this little master of hers.

    Good gracious, what exactly goes on within that head of his? Look at all these messy thoughts of his! How I longed... No, how embarrassing!

    "Therefore, I suggest you delete all those," Chen Feng said with a sigh.

    "Fine." Spirit rolled her eyes and deleted all the data. As for what she had already seen, she could do nothing about it, since they were already part of her memory now.

    "Good." Chen Feng heaved a sigh of relief. "As for you and the Misfortune Goddess..."

    "Hold on!" Spirit was halfway through the deletion when she recalled something. "You wouldn¡¯t have... with the Misfortune Goddess as well..."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    The Misfortune Goddess: "..."

    "Erm." With a sigh, Chen Feng said, "I am not a stallion. Besides, I do not even know what she looks like."

    "Oh." Spirit hesitantly epted this exnation.

    The Misfortune Goddess: "..."

    It was at this point that she vowed to never show Chen Feng her true appearance. The fantasies a human was capable of having were way too terrifying. It was said that not even gods could escape the wild fantasies of humanity.

    "Let us first leave this ce," Chen Feng said.

    "All right."

    Instantly, Chen Feng vanished where he stood. This ce had just experienced a huge battle. Despite the leftover traces of godly aura lingering here, this ce would most certainly be one of the favorite locations for adventurers in the near future, especially for those that had not yet awakened. The leftover traces from the battle here and the imprints and carvings left behind from the battle could very well be a source of inspiration for those people, enabling them to grow stronger.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s body flickered as he moved speedily. After reaching a safe ce, he started reviewing his present condition, cing emphasis on the two goddesses he now had by his side. At present, only three deities had awakened, and he had a monopoly on two of them.

    Although Spirit had returned, due to the destruction of her physical body, Spirit had ultimately returned to Chen Feng¡¯s body, staying within the illusory world within him. As for the Misfortune Goddess, she was still staying within that pen, staying by Chen Feng¡¯s side.

    Hum¡ª

    With a light wave, godly power rippled out. That was the godly power of luck.

    Upon Spirit¡¯s return, she had given full authority to Chen Feng over the power of the Luck Goddess. In a sense, Spirit was the new Luck Goddess, even if she was now incredibly weak, simr to the Misfortune Goddess. However, she had given Chen Feng the highest authority over her power, allowing him ess to the highest level of the godly power of luck. This was apletely different power than luck value. It was much stronger and much more wondrous.

    Hum¡ª

    He waved his hand once again. This time, the godly power of misfortune rippled out.

    "I can now use both luck and misfortune."

    He was overjoyed. What were the limitations of the godly power of luck? Conversion to misfortune! To do this, the exhaustion rate would triple or even go up to ten times the original amount required. It almost wasn¡¯t worth it. Despite such a great exhaustion rate, the might wasn¡¯t necessarily excellent. There were certain unique circumstances that were even fundamentally unachievable by way of luck conversion, as proven by the Luck Goddess¡¯s defeat when she had been using the misfortune power she had obtained through conversion.

    If her misfortune power had been stronger or she had been able to reduce her exhaustion rate... perhaps she would have been the final survivor of that encounter. As for the godly power of misfortune, the same applied when it was converted into luck. These were twopletely ovepping yet different powers. As such, achieving the opposite effect would only work asionally.

    Yet now...

    Chen Feng spread both his hands out. Next, a faint godly power started seething from both his hands. He had now obtained a power that nobody else, not even the gods, could obtain. In his left hand was luck, while in his right hand was misfortune. Mhm... He pondered it for a while before exchanging the positions, emanating misfortune from his left hand and luck from his right hand.

    "Chen Feng!" Spirit¡¯s crisp voice sounded as she warned him, "Do not think of doing strange things with your right hand."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    What the hell? He rolled his eyes.

    He felt like the huge amount of data he had overloaded Spirit with had polluted her mind. Every single time she looked at him now, there was an odd gleam in her eyes... This had to be karma. Chen Feng shrugged helplessly. Right at this moment, he suddenly heard a roar.

    "Chen Feng! Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen... Feng... Feng!"

    An intermittent roar could be heard.

    Oh.

    Chen Feng pped his head as he recalled that this was the manual long distancemunicator of the ancients, one that relied on the user howling.

    "Yes, I¡¯m here," he replied.

    "Ao¡ªGic Union... distress... We... East Coast... discovered huge dragon... chasing after a lizard... All buildings destroyed... Please take care of this."

    "Enemy¡¯s strength is unknown. The 10 awakened ones we sent were all eliminated... The residents there disced... Please deal with it as soon as possible..."

    The message came intermittently. From the looks of it, this seemed to be a message sent by the deputy president. However, after listening to it, Chen Feng did not know whether tough or cry. Huge dragon? Lizard? It couldn¡¯t be those two, right?

    Chen Feng sighed. He had initially believed that after killing the lizard, the dragon would go back to rest. Surprisingly, that lizard was actually so tenacious, able to keep fleeing all the way to the East Coast. Holy shit, they had crossed half the! How amazing!

    His initial n had not involved this dragon and this damnable lizard. As such, despite his mission being a sess, two outside variables hade into existence. As such...

    His head ached. "How should I deal with them?"

    "Why not try contacting Duma?" Spirit proposed. "He specializes in dealing with such matters, right?"

    In her mind, Duma was like an undertaker... No no, he was like a caretaker, handling all sorts of affairs, with emphasis on anything rted to the Primordial Era.

    "Let me try."

    Chen Feng tried contacting Duma.

    Duma¡¯s voice was as calm as ever, giving off a sense of reliability. "Yes?"

    "I discovered something from the Primordial Era and am hoping that you can deal with it," Chen Feng said.

    "Sure thing," Duma replied steadily. After all, he specialized in dealing with anything primordial. Since the descent of the primordial, he had in fact handled quite a number of things. "Time, venue, and species?" he asked briefly.

    "The time is today, the venue is East Coast, as for the species..." Chen Feng paused before continuing, "Primordial dragon."

    Shua!

    Suddenly, no sound could be heard from the other side. After a long time, a grudge-filled voice sounded, "Primordial dragon? Excuse me, are you referring to the primordial dragons that, during the Primordial Era, were able to easily kill resonators and were no weaker than even some gods?"

    "I... guess so?" Chen Feng replied cautiously.

    "...Bye." Duma ended the call with no hesitation. What kind of joke was that? A primordial dragon? Up till now, all he had handled were those who had recently awakened. The strongest of them had been a mere level-one resonator. And now he was required to deal with a primordial dragon? A god yer?

    Chen Feng howled until his throat was sore. "Old Du? Old Du? Old turtle? Old bastard turtle?" s, no reply whatsoever came.

    "That old man..." Chen Feng curled his lips and said to Spirit, "Look, I knew he wouldn¡¯t be willing to deal with this. After all, this is not as simple as cleaning up after someone¡¯s mess like he has been doing."

    Just as he finished his words...

    Shua!

    Duma¡¯s voice sounded, "Chen Feng!"

    Chen Feng was somewhat astonished. "Huh?"

    Duma spoke calmly. "I truly can¡¯t help you with this. While both the primordial dragons and I are considered primordial races, the dragons innately counter all other primordial life-forms. If I truly go over, I will almost certainly be turned into some sort of tonic for the dragon."

    "Mhm..." Chen Feng sank into silence. He gave it some thought and agreed that turtles could indeed be a rather nutritious food.

    "In short, I am not able to help you with this. However, I can give you some advice on how to deal with this," Duma muttered.

    "Please tell me," Chen Feng said solemnly.

    "I sensed the rise of a god. Apart from the Luck Goddess, I think a different god has also reappeared. From the location and the scope of the aura, I reckon it is the Forest Goddess. If you can get her to help, perhaps that dragon can be dealt with," Duma said.

    Chen Feng rejected this notion without any hesitation. "Not possible." What joke was this? After inserting the pen into her, now he had to go looking for help? Chen Feng was sure that he would die miserably if he did that. Moreover, he would probably get killed in an extremely creative manner. One ought to remember that this Forest Goddess had been fierce enough to be able to kill even the Luck Goddess. Him being the main culprit who had inserted something into her... Mhm... The mere thought caused Chen Feng to tremble in fear. Life was a beautiful thing. He still wished to continue living on.

    "Fine." Duma found this understandable. After all, gods were not beings one could easily meet. "Well, you¡¯ll have to think of something else, then. Earlier, I asked the deputy president about this. Originally, there was a little town there on the East Coast. With the help of awakened ones, the residents there have already been relocated. Therefore, we can transform that ce into a battlefield for the dragon to fight the lizard, so as to not cause any disturbances to the maind.

    "How goes the battle?" Chen Feng asked. He had nomunicator. As such, he could not check himself.

    "Rather intense." Duma spoke calmly. "Although the lizard is already seriously wounded and is in a rather sorry state, the lizard is still capable of holding on. After all, his lizard bloodline is one of the primordial races, the descendant of the primordial dragons that abandoned all other draconic abilities, leaving behind only the restorative ability of the dragons. Moreover, the lizards even developed further in this aspect. As such, their present restorative ability has already exceeded the dragons¡¯. Therefore, the more of a beating it takes, the stronger it will get. Perhaps we can give the lizard some assistance. So long as he can survive the attacks of the dragon, he will grow stronger as the fight goes on. Ultimately, the dragon might be the one defeated instead. This is also a good opportunity for us."

    "Mhm..." Chen Feng found this agreeable. Duma¡¯s reasoning was very eptable. However, Chen Feng had an odd feeling. "Even with such great restorative ability, can a lizard even defeat a dragon?"

    Duma exined, "Indeed, a regr lizard would not be able to do so. However, this particr lizard is rather unique. He has an extremely unique bloodline and absorbed way too many lizard-rted genes during the Gic Era, causing his primordial bloodline to undergo numerous transformations, making him sufficiently powerful to contend against a primordial dragon."

    Chen Feng gained understanding. "I see."

    "It¡¯s good that you understand," Duma said.

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. "Understand my ass. Who do you think you are tricking?"

    These words could be used to trick others. However, wasn¡¯t it somewhat excessive to use them on Chen Feng as well? The hell with the so-called primordial bloodline. How big was the gap between a dragon and a lizard? It was so big that the moment Long Yue saw the dragon, he had fled without any hesitation. Yet now Duma was trying to tell him that after going through numerous transformations, the lizard was now simr in strength to the dragon? Was this supposed to be a joke?

    "I am telling the truth. It¡¯s just that Long Yue himself is not aware of this fact," Duma said with a sigh.

    Chen Feng sneered. "How did you find out, then?"

    For Duma to be clearer than Long Yue himself on Long Yue¡¯s strength? This was totally not believable.

    Duma let out a bitter smile. "I know this because... I am the one who modified Long Yue."

    "What?" Chen Feng¡¯s eyes went wide. Holy shit!

    Chen Feng had an incredulous look. "You modified him?"

    "Ah." With a sigh, Duma said, "The Primordial Era had already ended, and a friend of mine from the Primordial Era had died. Right before his death, he gave me the essence of his life force, something he had created after years of painstaking research, something capable of allowing the lizards to fight primordial dragons. He had entrusted me with looking for someone with a dragon bloodline to pass this on to for him. And so, on that fateful day when I was out and about, I stumbled upon Long Yue..."

    "..."

    Chen Feng was speechless. In short, after his battle with Long Yue back then, Duma hade? And next... he had transformed the dead Long Yue into the current Long Yue?

    Chen Feng rubbed his head. "Fine. Even if it is as you say, that you gave Long Yue a sufficient amount of strength, how are you so sure that he will note looking for either you or me for revenge?"

    He recalled how Long Yue¡¯s rtionship with both of them wasn¡¯t exactly harmonious.

    "I left my own imprint within him." Duma was filled with confidence. "Back then, in order to hasten his absorption and recovery speed, he not only absorbed the inheritance of the lizard. He also absorbed my blood... As such, his life is well under my control."

    Chen Feng nodded. "That¡¯s good, then." Since the n had been decided, it was now time to act on it. They would assist Long Yue in killing that damnable primordial dragon. However, before Chen Feng could even arrive, he could already see numerous streaks of light shooting toward the East Coast.

    Swish! Swish!

    The auras emanating from these streaks proved the identities of these people. Each of them was a resonator.

    Chen Feng frowned. "These people again." He pondered the matter before asking, "Duma, I have a question I have always wanted to ask. How many resonators existed during the Primordial Era?"

    "Resonators? Let me think about it. During the Primordial Era, there were a lot of gods around. Each of the gods had a huge number of resonators. In total..." Duma started thinking deeply, trying to figure out what the total number was. At this point, Chen Feng had already sunk into silence. In short, there were so many resonators around that being a resonator was in fact nothing special?

    "True."

    "Although the resonators are powerful, they are nothing in face of the myriad species existing during the Primordial Era. With such a huge poption, it wasn¡¯t odd for there to be a lot of resonators around as well, right?" Duma answered Chen Feng doubtfully.

    "No, not odd." Chen Feng rubbed his head. True, he had nearly forgotten that during that era, any life-form could ascend... An example was Duma, an ascended turtle...

    "There are a lot of resonators awake now. However, there are more of them still in slumber. With the awakening of the Forest Goddess and her godly aura reappearing in this world, I reckon a huge number of resonators will yet again awaken. The ones who are rushing over now are probably those who awakened recently, during the Forest Goddess¡¯s awakening. These fellows are impatient to regain their strength. As such, they will most definitely get involved in this battle, trying to gain some benefits for themselves," Duma said with a solemn expression.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "Is that so?" The n that was supposed to proceed smoothly had descended into chaos thanks to these resonators. Despite that, a smile formed on Chen Feng¡¯s face. Chaos was exactly what he loved most.

    Shua!

    A faint godly power pulsed out of him as Chen Feng instantly vanished where he stood. Wherever he walked, a world of two halves was left behind. In one half, everything flourished, even the weeds growing up to five meters tall. In the other half, everything withered, transforming into and of death.

    Salvation and damnation, so sharply defined.

    Chapter 734: Surprises Are Always So Pleasant

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Above a certain summit, an old man was gazing at the sky. After a long time, a sigh resounded.

    A youngster around 13 or 14 years old walked out. "Old man, it is time for you to take a rest."

    "I¡¯m afraid a cmity is arriving," the old man muttered.

    The youngster curled his lips. "Is it not here already?" With the descent of the primordial, this world was no longer as it had been. They had been staying here for so many years and had personally witnessed this event, a cmity-like event.

    The old man shook his head, a trace of fear apparent in his eyes. "No, it is different. Even the descent of the primordial only brought the present era into a dark age. This time, what I felt was... true ruination!"

    Is that so? The youth¡¯s expression became solemn as he heard this. He knew that this old man would not lie. He was also aware that this old man never feared anything. However, this time, he was able to see fear in this old man, and for the very first time, he heard this old man use that term: ruination. What exactly wasing?

    Suddenly, the youngsterughed. "Things are getting more and more interesting, no?"

    ...

    At the same time, on a certain far away, numerous squads had been assembled. Each of them was radiating an intense killing intent. The target of this group of people was the human world.

    "We must kill the humans!"

    "Yes, we must kill them!"

    A certain old man with a pair of horns on his head was rousing the crowd. "Think back to that day. A lot of us were having a jolly good time at home when, suddenly, aet appeared, almost sting us to oblivion. If Lord God had not appeared, all of us would be dead now. From this, the ruthlessness of the humans is apparent. Therefore, we can only truly enjoy life after humanity is fully gone. We must eliminate humanity!"

    The twin-horns members that heard this all surged with emotion. However, a certain individual instead frowned, as he kept getting a familiar feeling from the lines the old man was saying. Mhm... This old man was probably pirating the lines of others yet again.

    "In short, this time, our goal is the human world," the old man dered.

    "Yes!"

    Everyone was surging with emotion. In truth, there was no need for such a deration. Thatet alone had already been sufficient to nt fear toward humanity in the hearts of the twin-horns race.

    And subsequently, after figuring out the real strength of the human world from Chen Feng¡¯s leftover stuff, everyone had be excited. Humans, hehe... No different thanmbs waiting for ughter.

    "Earlier, I tried divining the actual strength of humanity. If the humans were truly that strong, I would not have been able to obtain any results from my divination. Yet this time, through the gift bequeathed by Lord God, I saw the future of humanity, I saw them on the edge of destruction... Hehe, in the not-so-distant future, the humans will face a cmity capable of destroying their entire race. What could be the reason for that?" The old man started cackling wildly.

    "Because of us! Because of the twin-horns race!" everyone howled.

    "That¡¯s right! Let us lead the humans to their destruction! Let us transmit the will of our lord to every corner of that world. Let those damnable humans tremble in despair!" The old man howled withughter.

    "Teleporter?"

    "Preparationspleted."

    "Coordinates orientation?"

    "Done."

    "Splendid." The high-spirited old man pointed at the teleportation portal that had appeared midair. "Well then, let us sally forth!"

    Bang!

    The numerous twin-horns members entered the portal.

    Human world, here wee!

    ...

    In the Gic Union, Chen Feng was observing the battle on the East Coast. That primordial dragon was indeed powerful. With utmost ease, it was able to destroy numerous skyscrapers and buildings. As for Long Yue, he could do nothing but receive the beating. His entire body was drenched in blood, constantly hovering at the edge of death.

    Chen Feng frowned. "He can¡¯tst any longer?"

    The deputy president sighed. "This is the issue."

    "Oh?" Chen Feng was doubtful.

    The deputy president shrugged. "Long Yue has persisted in this manner for over three hours."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Three hours? This guy sure was capable of taking a beating. However, after studying Long Yue¡¯s condition and making a rough assessment with his godly power of luck, Chen Feng concluded that this guy had truly reached his limit.

    "Are those energy cannons still there on the East Coast?" Chen Feng asked.

    The deputy president immediately replied, "Yes."

    Chen Feng nodded. "Very good. Produce a super-huge gene reagent and shoot it into Long Yue¡¯s body."

    "Oh..." The deputy president smiled bitterly. "Will we not suffer an attack if we do that?"

    The only reason they had been able to peacefully watch this battle was because they had not interfered with it and had allowed those two to fight as they wished. The moment they interfered...

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Don¡¯t worry. That dragon is an intelligent life-form, after all. It isn¡¯t that stupid. If we only attack Long Yue, the dragon will not attack us."

    "Fine." The deputy president did as he had been told. Chen Feng got the people of the Gene Production Association and the Research Agency to work together and produce a super-huge prating bullet containing a huge amount of healing gene reagents.

    "To ensure that the dragon won¡¯t find out what we are doing, we will not heal any of the lizard¡¯s external wounds. We only need to ensure the lizard¡¯s vitality remains at peak level. That will be sufficient," Chen Feng ordered. In truth, even though this sounded like a ratherplicated gene reagent, it was in fact nothing but a stimnt. A stimnt produced with the technology of the Gic Era would probably be able to ensure this lizard remain standing for a very long time. Naturally, to avoid the dragon¡¯s detection, Chen Feng had thought of an even better method.

    On the East Coast, just as the battle was progressing, a loud sound suddenly resounded, attracting the attention of the dragon and lizard. In the next instant, an immense beam of light pierced through the lizard.

    A miserable shriek resounded. "Ah¡ª" Long Yue screamed miserably as the beam pierced through him, but shortly after, he found something odd. Whatever it was that had been shot at him had fused with his body and was healing him rapidly.

    Long Yue was astonished. Those fellows were helping him? However, he was, after all, still a human. He was able to understand their intention here. Despite his seething hatred toward a certain individual, he had to ept this assistance. As for Chen Feng... Long Yue would think about it after this battle.

    Bang!

    After recovering, Long Yue charged forth once again.

    The primordial dragon could feel a change in Long Yue. With doubt, the dragon looked over at the cannon. One should never look down on the intelligence of a primordial dragon. In a way, their intelligence was no lower than a human¡¯s.

    Just as he was staring at the cannon, causing everyone to be nervous, numerous war drones rose suddenly, targeting Long Yue.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    A terrifying wave of attacks descended. Each of the attacks appeared incredibly powerful, leaving numerous scorched spots on Long Yue¡¯s body when theynded, giving him a rather desperate appearance.

    The deputy president stared ahead. "It has started." They had attacked with energy weapons, and this was already the strongest attack they could pull off with their weaponry. In order to eliminate the dragon¡¯s doubt, they had no choice but to let Long Yue receive these attacks. Naturally, thanks to the gene reagent they had shot at Long Yue earlier, he was now resistant to energy attacks. However...

    "I wonder if Long Yue will be willing to cooperate with us." The deputy president was extremely anxious.

    "He will," Chen Feng said coldly. "If he wants to survive, he has no choice but to cooperate with us."

    Just as he finished his words, a mournful scream resounded.

    "Ao¡ª"

    Long Yue started screaming miserably. With this, the attention of the primordial dragon was shifted from his doubt toward the humans.

    "Sess!" Everyone was overjoyed.

    The deputy president appeared rather gratified. "Long Yue is indeed cooperating."

    Chen Feng was somewhat doubtful. "This scream is too real, right?" Could it be that this fellow was actually an extremely talented actor whose talent had remained undiscovered due to this era? His acting ability was truly incredible. Next, Chen Feng nced over at the screen. Instantly, his heart chilled at what he saw. Those bastards. He had indeed told them to attack as they wished. However, was there a need to aim straight at the lizard¡¯s chrysanthemum?

    A berserk howl thundered. "Howl!" Long Yue red at the local Gic Union branch with fury, his killing intent spilling out.

    "Oh..."

    Chen Feng gazed at the bleeding chrysanthemum. The n had just started, yet they had already encountered a small mishap...

    Chapter 735: The Change Is Better Than the Initial n

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Their n was quite simple. Based on what Duma had said, his old friend had spent a lifetime researching healing and regenerative abilities. As such, the lizard bloodline he had left behind had an incredibly powerful fleshy body. So long as the potential of the body was unleashed, it would be sufficient to defeat even a dragon. Therefore, so long as Long Yue was transformed into a lizard and stayed transformed long enough for his body to adapt to the bloodline, all would be fine. This sounded so simple.

    s, a mishap had still happened in this seemingly fool-proof n.

    "Ao¡ª"

    The furious Long Yue, with his bleeding chrysanthemum, leaped up, pounced on the stage, and destroyed the cannon there. Along the way, the entire building copsed. Everyone sank into silence. This did not seem to be part of their n?

    Chen Feng sighed. "You guys have attacked too viciously." Those guys had fired the cannon straight at his chrysanthemum. How was that even a fake attack? That was definitely a fatal attack. In fact, Chen Feng wouldn¡¯t have been surprised even if Long Yue had been killed by that single attack. After all, he had yet to fully activate his lizard bloodline.

    One of the staffers there pointed at the screen in a flustered manner. "Look."

    Everyone looked over, and instantly, their expressions sank. On the screen, it could be seen that Long Yue had soared up and was charging toward the local Gic Union branch. Evidently, he was nning to kill them now. The East Coast branch wasn¡¯t too far from the battlefield. If Long Yue¡¯s attack reached them...

    Shua!

    Everyone paled. With the cannon gone, they had no way of contending against Long Yue. However, surprisingly, it was at this instant that a huge figure appeared right before Long Yue arrived at the East Coast branch, blocking Long Yue¡¯s attack that was aimed toward the Gic Union.

    Mhm...

    That was precisely the primordial dragon.

    "Howl¡ª"

    The dragon seemed rather pleased with the Gic Union¡¯s performance thus far. He nced over in the direction of the Gic Union, a praising look in his eyes, evidently rather interested in the Gic Union¡¯s previous chrysanthemum-sting attack.

    "Piss off!" Long Yue shouted furiously.

    After the fatal attack he had received, Long Yue was now consumed by anger. With thebination of his past hatred and the new grudge he had with them, he vowed to eliminate the Gic Union. Whoever dared get in the way of his revenge, he would eliminate.

    Bang! Bang!

    At this moment, the gene reagent he had been injected with started working. A never-ending source of power was given to him. However, the primordial dragon did not care and stopped Long Yue¡¯s attacks without stop, smashing Long Yue onto the ground without stop. At this moment, the terrifying strength of the dragon was revealed.

    The people of the Gic Union were rather dumbstruck at this new development. This plot did not seem right. Their initial n had been to help Long Yue fight the dragon. How had it changed to the dragon helping them against Long Yue?

    "..." When Duma heard about this, the first person he doubted was Chen Feng. "Have you been using your godly power again?"

    After all, he was clear on Chen Feng¡¯s identity.

    "How is that possible?" Chen Feng was truly innocent here. Since the primordial dragon was so powerful, the moment he used the godly power of the weakened Misfortune Goddess or Luck Goddess against the dragon, he would definitely be discovered. As such, Chen Feng dared not use them on the dragon. Even if he used them, he would only use them on Long Yue. His initial n had indeed been to help Long Yue a bit with luck after Long Yue¡¯s recovery. Unexpectedly, things had developed this way instead.

    "Can you still control the lizard?" Chen Feng asked.

    Duma smiled bitterly. "I don¡¯t know. I originally had rather great confidence in it, but due to the intense provocation the lizard has suffered, his emotions are very unstable now. I can¡¯t be sure if I can still control him or not. You guys... attacked too viciously."

    Duma felt rather helpless.

    Unstable?

    Chen Feng nced over at the lizard. The hatred emanating out of this fellow¡¯s eyes indeed seemed real. He had a deep hatred toward the Gic Union, Chen Feng, Duma, and even the entirety of humanity. A person like this would be too difficult to control. Moreover, even if they were able to control him, after he fully awakened his lizard bloodline, would everything truly be fine? Not quite. Therefore, they might as well...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly, and he didn¡¯t hesitate. "Kill him! The primordial dragon is much intelligent than we imagined. Moreover, it has kindly reciprocated our attack toward Long Yue. This alone is sufficient. Rather, this Long Yue is the one incapable of separating friends and enemies... Since that¡¯s the case, let us change the n: kill him first."

    "How about the dragon?" Duma was anxious. It was way too dangerous to allow this fellow, who was in fact equivalent to a god, to roam around during the Gic Era.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "What is there to fear? So long as he leaves the East Coast, he can go roam about anywhere he wants. In any case, the times are changing. Let alone these primordial beasts, it won¡¯t be long before you can find gods everywhere as well. Can you even kill them all?"

    Duma sank into silence. True. And thus, the Gic Union¡¯s n changed. The initial n of assisting the lizard against the dragon had changed to assisting the dragon against the lizard.

    Mhm...

    Chen Feng believed that with sufficient sincerity, with the intelligence the dragon had exhibited previously, he would be much more cooperative than the lizard. Chen Feng had confidence in this.

    Chen Feng stood up. "Let me help him." After all, Long Yue was not one to be killed off so easily. The dragon had been trying to kill him off for so long yet he still remained. Now that the Long Yue had absorbed the gene reagent, he could probablyst even longer. This offered no benefit whatsoever to Chen Feng and the rest.

    "Did you not say that the dragon will notice immediately if you use your godly power?" Duma warned. The only reason they had even nned all this was because they had been afraid of having their godly powers detected by the dragon.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "That was in the past. To bait the fish, we naturally had to avoid the dragon¡¯s detection. However, now that we want to cooperate with him, we have to demonstrate a sufficient level of strength. I intend to show the dragon that us humans have ess to godly powers as well!"

    Bang!

    Chen Feng stretched his hands out.

    Hum¡ª

    From his left hand, faint misfortune power rippled out.

    Hum¡ª

    From his right hand, faint luck power rippled out.

    Chen Feng did not have much godly power left. He had been slowly recovering his godly powers. Therefore, Duma was shocked by his disy of using both godly powers at the same time. "What are you nning to do? Don¡¯t you know that using luck and misfortune at the same time will cancel each other out?" Duma reminded Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. "Do you think I¡¯m that stupid? If I were to use both on the same target, they would indeed cancel each other out. However, what if I use them on different targets? Heh, the effect will be quite surprising, especially when I use both concurrently."

    Shua!

    He waved both his hands.

    Hum¡ª

    His godly power waffled out. Without attempting to hide it, his luck power instantly enveloped the primordial dragon. The dragon that was in the midst of battle suddenly looked over at the Gic Union. Clearly, he had detected this mysterious yet familiar power that caused a certain power within him to grow stronger. At the same time, he had also detected a rather sinister power enveloping the lizard.

    Luck caused the dragon to be even more valiant while misfortune caused the lizard to be even more miserable. These were twopletely different powers. On top of that, in this situation, the lizard¡¯s misfortune was in fact the dragon¡¯s luck, and the dragon¡¯s luck was simrly misfortune for the lizard. As such, when both powers were used concurrently, a unique amplification and cycling effect was reached.

    Bang!

    At this moment, the dragon erupted with a terrifying strength in an incredibly momentous manner.

    Pu!

    Instantly, the lizard, Long Yue, was sted away.

    Duma was rmed. "This..." He had personally witnessed how Chen Feng had merelyzily and slowly waved both his hands, causing godly power to ripple out. Just like that, the entire battlefield had been transformed. This...

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Duma was somewhat dumbstruck. Godly power could be used in this manner as well? He should have a deeper understanding of godly power than most people. Luck and misfortune were supposed to be two opposing powers that couldn¡¯t possibly be used together. Yet now... he had witnessed himself how both were used together, resulting in an amplification effect. In fact, this amplification effect had increased the power by about five times, or maybe even more. This was quite a terrifying effect.

    With this, the lizard, which had been the disadvantaged side to begin with, was even worse off. Initially, there had been a chance for him to truly recover the inheritance of the lizard bloodline he had within him. Unfortunately, with Chen Feng here, the lizard bloodline was rendered a nonfactor, effectively crippled.

    What joke was this? Since the lizard had offended Chen Feng, it still wished to breakthrough? How naive. Soon after, the battle of the East Coast ended. The gigantic primordial dragon stepped on Long Yue¡¯s body until Long Yue was dead. Next, he gazed in the direction of Gic Union, his gaze profound. Instantly, the people of the Gic Union became nervous. Right at this instant, a young man stepped onto the battlefield, attracting much attention.

    "Honorable lord dragon," he said earnestly, "your might is incredibly awe-inspiring. Is it possible for me to be your honor¡¯s disciple?"

    "..." The primordial dragon¡¯s gazended on that young man¡¯s body. After a long time, the dragon shook his head and said, "You do not have the bloodline of a dragon within you and are thus incapable of enduring the power of my inheritance."

    Everyone gasped in shock. Holy shit, this dragon was capable of speech?

    "Hehe." Duma sneered in response to their shock, causing them to sink into silence as they recalled that even this turtle here could talk, let alone a primordial dragon...

    Chen Feng coughed, as he himself had forgotten that all primordial life-forms possessed intelligence. However, since this dragon was capable of speech, he would be much better to deal with than a random wild beast.

    The young man continued gazing at the dragon earnestly. "May we have the honor of having you as a guardian god of humanity? The primordial has descended, and as normal life-forms, humanity does not have the formidable strength that your like has. Therefore, we wish to obtain your protection."

    The dragon shook his head. He stood up, his terrifying prowess clearly disyed, and gazed at the young man with a pensive look. "I am not a god, nor do you guys need me. You humans... already have your own guardian god."

    The young man nked. "We...do?"

    "Stay smart." The dragon nodded his head and stood up with a deafening sound before leaving with a sh.

    "Le... left?"

    The people of the Gic Union were all overjoyed.

    That incredibly strong primordial dragon that had been the source of their anxiety had left just like that? This seemedpletely different than they had imagined.

    "Sess."

    Chen Feng exchanged nces with the deputy president and heaved a sigh of relief. As for that earnest-looking young man, he returned with a disappointed look on his face. The moment he entered the Gic Union, though, he limped immediately, nearly copsing to the ground. "Holy shit, that scared me to death."

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes.

    "Chen Feng, for you to send me out to try to be his disciple, were you not worried that he would kill me instead?" Xu Fei grumbled. That¡¯s right, the reason he had even dared go out was because Chen Feng had requested it.

    Chen Feng was all smiles. "He wouldn¡¯t have. Since the dragon is capable of speech and is intelligent, he is a being capable of social exchanges. With you raining praise upon him, he would definitely not attack you... Especially after he felt the existence of two different godly powers here.

    Xu Fei scratched his head. "Godly powers?"

    Chen Feng spoke calmly. "Of course. Otherwise, do you think I would have dared let you go out there? The primordial dragon awoke ahead of schedule thanks to the Luck Goddess. In a way, he owes her one. Therefore, upon sensing the godly power of luck, he definitely would not have killed you."

    After all, Spirit was now the official Luck Goddess. Since Chen Feng had dared send Xu Fei over, he had obviously been confident, at least to a certain degree.

    "What if the dragon had agreed to the request?" Xu Fei asked nkly.

    Chen Feng curled his lips. "That would have been even better. Do you really think that one can meet a primordial dragon so easily? If the Luck Goddess hadn¡¯t used her full power to awaken one of them, you would never have had a chance to see one. The primordial dragons are as powerful as gods. If he had been willing to ept you as a disciple, in this new era, I reckon you could do whatever you wish."

    "That¡¯s true," Xu Fei stated regretfully. "It is unfortunate that the dragon didn¡¯t agree to the request."

    "That is only natural." Chen Feng understood that. After all, these primordial races all cared deeply about bloodlines.

    "Why don¡¯t... you go get some dragon bloodline?" Chen Feng said after some thought.

    Xu Fei was rmed. "One can get a bloodline so easily? Mhm..."

    Xu Fei pondered for a short while and continued, "I don¡¯t really mind, but I don¡¯t think my mom would agree to it."

    Chen Feng was stupefied. "What are you thinking about? I actually meant having Kong Bai bring you back in time..."

    Xu Fei finally understood. "Oh. So that is what you were talking about." Subsequently, he shook his head. "Forget it. Nowadays, a lot of resonators have awakened, and they¡¯re all paying close attention to everything rted to the primordial as well as their memories pertaining to the Primordial Era. In fact, I looked for Kong Bai some time ago. He said that now, the moment any of us enter the Primordial Era and appear in the memories of those people, we will most probably get hunted down. Those people are not idiots. As such, they will not give Kong Bai a chance to gain power from the Primordial Era."

    Xu Fei felt extremely regretful.

    "True." Chen Feng shrugged. If so, he had no other ideas.

    In the past, the resonators had all been asleep. As such, visiting the Primordial Era had still been possible. So long as they were careful to not stumble upon any taboos, there were no problems. Now that the gods had started to awaken and resonators were everywhere, the moment they dared return in time, they would probably get instantly killed. Xu Fei majored in fleshly body cultivation. In fact, the dragon bloodline suited him greatly. Unfortunately, he had not encountered a fortuitous encounter that enabled him to advance any deeper on this path. After understanding this, Duma walked over noiselessly.

    "Hey, bro." Duma dragged Xu Fei to a corner quietly. "I have a lizard bloodline inheritance here. Are you interested in learning more?"

    Xu Fei rejected him without hesitation. "Scram!" Holy shit. Look at that corpse lying on the East Coast. Was that not an inheritor of the lizard bloodline as well? Who was this Duma trying to scam here? He had no intention of being the next enemy of the dragons.

    Duma tried to exin. "In truth, the lizard bloodline is extremely powerful... Long Yue only died because he had not fully activated the bloodline inheritance. I can personally make some minute adjustments for your version of the inheritance to make it suit you perfectly."

    Xu Fei sneered. "Scram!"

    Duma patiently exined, "I am telling the truth. Look, don¡¯t you feel like we both are connected by destiny?"

    Xu Fei curled his lip. "Scram!" What a scammer. He was clear on Duma¡¯s true identity. Duma was an ascended turtle and a resonator. In the past, his identity as a resonator had indeed been awe-inspiring enough. But now, with resonators everywhere, Xu Fei truly couldn¡¯t bring himself to revere a single resonator, especially this fellow here who had given up on his dignity as an expert and had taken the initiative to stick to him just to hard sell the lizard bloodline...

    This guy...

    By the side, Chen Feng did not know whether tough or cry. Even earlier, when the dragon had fought the lizard, Duma had not dared toe over. Yet now he had arrived so promptly.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng thought of something. Hold on... Would Duma truly be so bored as to take a trip here just for the sake of Xu Fei? Evidently, that was quite unlikely. If so, why had hee?

    Duma sighed. "I am here to take back the lizard bloodline from Long Yue¡¯s corpse and to look for a new inheritor."

    "Are you sure?" Chen Feng found that doubtful.

    "Yes," Duma said calmly.

    "Is that so..." Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. He looked at Duma¡¯s calm expression, then nced over at Xu Fei. Suddenly, he recalled something. The first time Xu Fei¡¯s physical body had transformed, it had been on the seafloor... due to a turtle?

    Chen Feng finally remembered. The only reason Xu Fei had even entered the path of fleshly body cultivation was because he had encountered that damnable turtle at the bottom of the sea in the past and had subsequently absorbed all its blood essence. From that moment onward, Xu Fei¡¯s body had be special. As for that turtle... it was precisely the little turtle spirit, or to be more precise, the holy spirit!

    Chen Feng was all smiles as he regarded Duma. "I have a question. Where is the holy spirit?"

    Shua!

    Duma¡¯s expression changed.

 Chapter 737: Holy Spiritâ€™s Identity

    Chapter 737: Holy Spirit¡¯s Identity

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Let me guess. I recall that the Holy Spirit has a unique undying physique. That is why you always use numerous methods to eat him and then resurrect him. At first, everyone merely watched on, as this was mildly entertaining. But now that I look at it, the only reason you ate the Holy Spirit is the unique energy within his body, right? The Primordial Era was an era where survival is exceedingly hard. I do not believe that a race without a guardian could have survived. Therefore, apart from the duma, your race should have a guardian as well.

    "I once believed that it might be some god. But now I suppose that the guardian is the holy spirit? During the Primordial Era, he was the one who guarded you all. He wouldn¡¯t get involved in normal battles, only in battles involving gods. Thissted until the fall of the Primordial Era. At that time, all the godly powers were sealed away, and the holy spirit lost his power as well. As such, the present little turtle, the little guy you eat every single day..." Chen Feng took in a deep breath before concluding, "He is a god, or to be more precise, he is a slumbering god."

    Bang!

    Everyone¡¯s heart jolted. Holy shit. A god? That foolish-looking turtle? That little guy thatzed about and did nothing apart from eating and waiting for death was actually a god? The deputy president was stupefied. Xu Fei was stupefied. Only Duma had a different expression, an unsightly expression on his face.

    Chen Feng continued on calmly. "You eat him every single day not because you enjoy eating those from your species. Rather, you are trying to absorb the godly power hidden within the holy spirit. This time, you are here for Xu Fei, as you sensed a unique power belonging to a god within his body."

    Xu Fei¡¯s eyes went wide. "Huh?"

    "The power you failed to obtain after eating the holy spirit for so many years, at an unknown time, partially fused with Xu Fei. That is why he obtained the fleshly body he currently has, a body that allows him to ignore all energy," Chen Feng concluded. As for Duma, he sank into silence.

    "Holy shit." Xu Fei was so agitated that he started trembling. So it turns out that I actually fused with the power of a turtle god? Holy shit, that is crazy amazing! No wonder Jasmine from Saloon City told me that I am getting more and more "powerful." This "battle prowess" is worthy of a god, after all, and the turtle god turns out to be super nutritious as well.

    "As such, you intend to study Xu Fei," Chen Feng said. "You want to see clearly how Xu Fei managed to fuse with that power. Then, you¡¯ll try to use the same method to fully absorb the power of the holy spirit for yourself."

    Hold on. Shortly afterward, Xu Fei had a bad premonition as he looked at Duma with murderous eyes. "You were not thinking of eating me as well, right?"

    As a response, Duma rolled his eyes.

    "I don¡¯t eat humans," he grumbled. The previously solemn atmosphere had been totally transformed by Xu Fei¡¯s rather amusing reaction.

    "Just as Chen Feng said, I only wanted to study you a bit." Duma sighed. "I indeed considered killing Xu Fei if I failed to obtain any clues from him. But after consideration... I can¡¯t bear to do it." Duma smiled bitterly. For Xu Fei to be able to absorb the godly power of the turtle spirit, he was, in a way, the only sessor of the turtle spirit. Therefore, Duma ultimately found this solution unbearable. After all, he was not a merciless turtle.

    Xu Fei¡¯s eyes went wide. Holy shit, so this old man had truly considered that!

    Duma sneered. "Is it not normal to have such thought cross your mind? To be fair, when you were young, didn¡¯t you fantasize about a lot of girls as well? Did the police arrested you for that?"

    Xu Fei coughed awkwardly.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    "I am curious." Duma rubbed his head. "Why would the turtle spirit select you? After the descent of the primordial, the turtle spirit transformed into his present state andpletely forgot about his true identity. As such, it couldn¡¯t have consciously chosen you. Therefore... this should be something that was destined to happen. But why?"

    Duma was filled with doubt. Why would a regr human like Xu Fei be rted to a turtle by destiny?

    "Perhaps because I am normally a rather shameless person?" Xu Fei said after some serious contemtion. He could clearly remember how a lot of girls always call him a cuckolded bastard. [1] 1

    Duma sneered. "Hehe. Would you believe me if I said I will kill you right here?"

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes at Xu Fei¡¯s conclusion.

    After briefly contemting the matter, Chen Feng said, "Since that¡¯s the case, take him with you. Study him thoroughly. If you can figure out the source of the godly power, feel free to absorb it. If all else fails, just let this guy inherit the turtle spirit."

    Duma sighed. "You trust me so much?"

    Chen Feng shrugged. "We have experienced so much together. If I can¡¯t even trust you, who can I trust?"

    Duma expressed his gratitude. "Many thanks."

    Xu Fei was stupefied as he listened. "Hey? Have you guys not considered asking me, the person involved?"

    Chen Feng waved his hand. "Bye."

    Shua!

    Duma dragged Xu Fei along and vanished. In the air, Xu Fei¡¯s bloodcurdling scream lingered. "Chen Feng, you can¡¯t do this to me. Arrrghhh... I don¡¯t want to be a turtle!!!!"

    This guy... Chen Feng rubbed his head. Sure enough, with the descent of the primordial, everyone had their own destiny. Ultimately, this was no longer the same world.

    "Drag the lizard corpse in," Chen Fengmanded. "Even if the bloodline power has been extracted by Duma, the other remains of the lizard are still worth researching. With the descent of the primordial, we humans cannot fall behind."

    "Understood."

    A group of people went out and carried the corpse in.

    Chen Feng heaved a sigh of relief. "Finally, this incident has ended." This could be considered a perfect ending to the dragon incident. Humanity was still too weak and was still incapable of contending against such primordial life-forms. However, this time, they¡¯d had Long Yue here to serve as their cannon fodder. What about the next time something simr happened?

    Since the primordial dragon had appeared, it wouldn¡¯t take long for other primordial life-forms to appear as well. In thisnd that had enjoyed rtive peace for so long, numerous bizarre life-forms would start appearing. Naturally, a huge portion of them would appear in the unknown regions, which had few humans. In this new era, what should humanity do? Chen Feng was extremely worried.

    Bang!

    Rumble!

    After rumbling thunder, the sky suddenly darkened. Chen Feng frowned and gazed at the sky. This did not seem like something caused by the natural weather. Just as he was filled with curiosity, raindrops started pattering down from the sky.

    "It is raining."

    Chen Feng stretched his hand out, feeling the drizzle on his hand. Suddenly, his heart trembled. From this ordinary-looking rain, he sensed something familiar: godly power. Yet another god had awakened.

    "Which god is it this time?" Chen Feng looked at the sky. Rain God? Water God?

    "No idea." Spirit¡¯s wide eyes gleamed as she looked around. She was evidently clueless as well. As for the Misfortune Goddess, most of the time, she ignored Chen Feng. For instance, the problem with Chen Feng andmunicators had yet to be solved. He wanted to use one, but the only way he could make it work was to constantly use luck power to counteract misfortune power. After giving it some thought, he had given up on this and decided to continue using the screaming ability he had obtained from the ancients.

    Spirit gave it some thought and solemnly said, "Regardless of which god this is, with the fall of this rain containing godly power, I¡¯m afraid the other slumbering gods will be triggered as well. If nothing unexpected happens, after the end of this rain, those gods wille out as well."

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Finally... this moment has arrived?" Everything he had done thus far had been in order to gain more time for humanity. s, the heavens did not seem to be willing to grant his wish. With a single rainstorm... all his ns had been for naught.

    "Why not use misfortune power to try to slow it down?" Chen Feng considered.

    "..."

    The Misfortune Goddess couldn¡¯t even be bothered to answer him. With mere misfortune power, he wanted to suppress all the gods? Was he an idiot? Since this could not work, Chen Feng waspletely at a loss. He was extremely anxious, and right at this instant, an odd piece of news was received from the Gic Union¡¯s Scout Department. At the¡¯s core, some life-forms had been detected yet again.

    "Core?"

    Chen Feng became ashen faced. Those idiots hade again? Hold on...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng thought of something. "Erm... May I ask... Among you gods, which is the most amazing? The Creation God? The Destruction God? The Death God? Pangu? Hong Jun? Can you name one that is incredibly powerful yet is dead for real and can no longer be resurrected?"

 Chapter 738: What Is This Guy Thinking This Time?

    Chapter 738: What Is This Guy Thinking This Time?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Spirit was instantly on alert. "What are you thinking of doing?"

    Chen Feng appeared undisturbed. "Just trying to learn more."

    Spirit looked at him with deep suspicion. She hesitated shortly before cautiously saying, "A god at that level is not one you can easily joke about, especially insult..."

    "Do I look like someone who would do that?" Chen Feng asked, his eyes wide open in a re.

    "No, you don¡¯t." Spirit cautiously continued, "However, even if that lord has perished, the entirety of this world is a product of his creation. If you dare mess around using that lord¡¯s name, you will invite the wrath of the heavens themselves."

    "Oh, then forget it," Chen Feng said with a shrug.

    Spirit: "..."

    The Misfortune Goddess: "..."

    He had given up just like that? In short, he was thinking up some despicable n again, right? If he hadn¡¯t been advised against doing so by Spirit, he would probably start creating trouble again. He had truly caused these two goddesses to be speechless.

    After some thought, Chen Feng said, "Well then, do you have a simrly awe-inspiring god that also perished but who is at a somewhat lower level? So long as the god is unrted to heaven and earth, it will do."

    "The Sin God. His name was Ye," Spirit said without hesitation.

    "Ye?" Chen Feng had a slight impression of this name. When the primordial had initially descended, he had obtained some general knowledge from Duma. As such, he indeed knew of some rather popr gods. This Sin God was one of them, as he had truly been too famous.

    It was rumored that back then, he had enticed all the gods intomitting sins in order to increase his godly power. Naturally, the consequences of that did not need to be mentioned. After being chased about for a while, he had been erased for real. However, his strength wasn¡¯t something anyone could doubt. For him to have dared to provoke all the gods by himself, his prowess was apparent. This was a god who had once been a legend even among the various gods, even though he had ultimately died.

    "Excellent." Chen Feng was extremely pleased to hear this. So it turned out that the level of this Sin God was so high among the gods. That would make things easier for him.

    "What are you nning to do?" Spirit asked in a soft voice. "It won¡¯t do for you to pretend to be the Sin God. You will be inviting trouble upon yourself."

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. "Why would I even want to pretend to be him?" Pretending to be a god like this that was no different than being the leader of all evil. Doing that would be no different thanmitting suicide. Chen Feng had merely thought of a good idea to gain more time for humanity.

    "Just wait and see." Chen Feng¡¯s hand pulsed with faint godly power, which proceeded to fuse with the raindrops. "Things are getting more and more interesting."

    ...

    Bang!

    The earth trembled. A group of ck-clothed people ferociously charged out from underground. Each of them was extremely powerful and appeared incredibly formidable. However, just as they arrived aboveground, they encountered a group of soldiers that directly and viciously charged at them.

    The leader waved his hand coldly. "Kill!"

    Pu! Pu!

    The ck-clothed group shed about, and instantly, the entire squadron of soldiers was cleanly killed.

    "Hehe. A ss? Indeed." That person howled withughter. " Hahaha, so this is the real strength of the human world? We were indeed tricked by that damnable Chen Feng."

    After finishing his words, he pulled his ck gown out and revealed his true appearance: a twin-horns member.

    "Humans... we have arrived!" the twin-horns elder said loftily. This time, even the weakest in their group was an awakened. Humans? Heh, the strongest human was merely Chen Feng. From the soldiers earlier, they had found some documents of that Gic Union. If they recalled correctly, that Chen Feng seemed to be one of the higher-ups of this so-called strongest organization? This world was indeed as weak as they had expected. The reason that they of the twin-horns race had arrived was to conquer.

    "Do we need to shut the teleportation portal?" someone asked.

    The elder sneered. "There is no need. Leave behind 10 awakened ones to guard the door to allow the grand army of the twin-horns race to enter without stop. This world will be dominated by us."

    "Yes!"

    Everyone¡¯s blood boiled. Had the time finally arrived for the twin-horns race to grow?

    The elder waved his hand. "Set off!"

    Bang!

    The army set off. Along the way, they encountered a huge number of human soldiers. Although the numbers were high, all of them were A ss. The human soldiers could not take more than a single attack from them.

    Pu! Pu!

    They killed their way through. The group of several hundred twin-horns members had suffered zero casualties thus far.

    "The humans are too weak," the elder said in disdain. This was indeed a world where the inhabitants were restricted to below the awakened realm. Even Chen Feng had only been able to enter the awakened realm after entering their world by ident. That was what had led to their misconception about the true strength of this world.

    The elder analyzed their future course of actions. "We can first conquer this world while continuing to maintain our minor world. When the timees to break through, we can go back for that."

    As the others heard this, they approved. As far as they were concerned, the human world was just a fertilend gifted to them by the heavens.

    "It¡¯s a pity that this rain is quite annoying." The general looked at the rain, clearly somewhat twitchy about it. The rain was obviously slowing down their speed and reducing their vision.

    The elder smiled calmly. "It doesn¡¯t matter. If this is the hardship we have to endure to conquer this world, I do not mind."

    "Haha."

    The rest of them chuckled in agreement. True, was there any easier way one could conquer a world?

    "Let¡¯s go."

    The army advanced once again, their goal being the conquest of this entire world. Meanwhile, near the teleportation portal, a ck shadow shed past and instantly went through the portal undetected.

    He smiled. "Level-one awakened?"

    Shua!

    Instantly, his figure vanished. The twin-horns members guarding the portal frowned but could not detect anything.

    ...

    Earlier, above the core entrance where the twin-horns army appeared, a blonde with spiky hair was floating in the air with Sakata Chuunibyou by his side. Both of them were gazing coldly at the army appearing below.

    Shua! Shua!

    Sakata Chuunibyou¡¯s hand pulsed with a faint godly power. It turned out that earlier, with thend below as the foundation, a hugebyrinth had been created. As for the human army down there that the twin-horns race encountered...

    "Akihito," Sakata Chuunibyou called out coldly.

    "Here, here." Akihito pointed impatiently at thebyrinth. Next, a gust of godly power surged out and formed numerous clones¡ªtens of millions¡ªthat were subsequently stationed everywhere within thebyrinth.

    "This ability of yours..."

    This was not the first time Sakata Chuunibyou had seen this ability, but he was as shaken as ever. Apart from this Akihito, nobody else could reach this level in the art of cloning with godly power. He had easily created ten million clones, and the clones were male and female, young and old. By himself, he could be an army, an entire race, a vige, or even a city. Even now, the twin-horns members had yet to realize the predicament they were in.

    "When will this be over?" Akihito asked impatiently.

    Sakata Chuunibyou shook his head. "I don¡¯t know. Chen Feng merely ordered us toe here and y around with these idiots. I don¡¯t know what he intends to do. He only mentioned that we will know when the timees."

    Akihito frowned at this response.

    "What, you don¡¯t have enough godly power tost longer?" Sakata Chuunibyou was somewhat bbergasted. That should not be the case, right? With their strength as resonators, it shouldn¡¯t be too exhausting to y around with these idiots.

    Akihito inhaled deeply. "No, that¡¯s not the case... However, to avoid detection, regardless of whether its a vige, a town, soldiers, gender, or age, I need to keep creating different clones."

    "Mhm?"

    Sakata Chuunibyou was still somewhat doubtful. That should not increase his exhaustion rate, right?

    Akihito clenched his teeth. "Furthermore... These bastards of the twin-horns race... insist on raping all the females theye across."

    Sakata Chuunibyou¡¯s eyes went wide. "Holy shit, it can¡¯t be that..."

    Akihito clenched his teeth. "That¡¯s right. Even at the minimum, I feel 10% of what my clones feel."

    Sakata Chuunibyou gasped in shock.

    Ten percent... This seemed like a rather low level of realism, but when it was amplified by ten million clones...

    "Wow!" Sakata Chuunibyou was suddenly filled with a sense of veneration for Akihito. "I will try to request a reduced number of females. However, there still need to be some. Otherwise, they will start getting suspicious."

    "Many thanks." Akihito clenched his fists tightly, his body twitching asionally.

    "Everyone here is so talented," Sakata Chuunibyoumented. Next, his gazended on the idiots below who believed that they were conquering this world, filled with curiosity toward the reason Chen Feng was keeping these idiots contained here...

    Chapter 739: Millions upon Millions of Lives, Nothing but Bugs

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The rain continued falling for quite a while. Infused with godly power, the raindrops soaked the earth, causing an uncountable number of gods to start slowly waking up. Every single day, powerful fluctuations could be felt from different corners of the world. These were the fluctuations caused by both gods and resonators awakening.

    Pressure unique to gods surged out without stop, causing the entirend to be subjected to a type of divine pressure. The darkest of the Primordial Era had finally fully descended, where resonators were everywhere and gods stood tall in every corner of the world. Millions upon millions of other life-forms were nothing but bugs.

    "The gods have finally descended."

    At the summit of the ancient territory, Duma watched on silently. The humans would probably be in danger now. As for the reason? They were too weak, yet they upied thergest portion of this world. Without a doubt, the moment the gods awakened, their attention would be on the humans.

    On top of that, there was a matter of faith. The act of worship and resonating toward a god served as an important foundation for the gods. Therefore, these newly awakened gods would probably have a rather intense struggle for believers among humanity. In such a situation, nobody could guarantee the safety of the human race.

    Duma would not be able to do so, nor could Chen Feng. Nevertheless, theplete annihtion of humanity was impossible. After all, they were thergest group of intelligent life-forms in this era. Even if the humans were reduced to ves, the gods would definitely not allow them to go extinct. Despite that, humanity would not be able to avoid a cmity. Experts would die. Weaklings would die miserably. The only thing they could do was pray for the mercy of the Luck Goddess, hoping that nothing untoward would happen to them. s, even the Luck Goddess would not be able to protect them.

    "Argghhhh¡ª"

    Numerous bloodcurdling shouts could be heard. Within a pot of scalding green liquid, Xu Fei could be seen screaming. "Duma, you old bastard. You are indeed thinking of eating me. Damn it, just you wait until I leave this ce. I will cut your turtle head down and eat it as a stew."

    Duma¡¯s face darkened. "Shut up." This bastard... Duma was helping Xu Fei increase his godly power, yet this was what he received? The human world... Forget it. Duma had ultimately decided to not tell Xu Fei about what was happening, since it would be pointless. If Xu Fei was told, he would probably be in a rush to leave this ce. However, the only thing that would aplish was giving his life away, and he would be of totally no help. As such, the only thing they could do now was wait, wait until Xu Fei fused with the godly power, until the moment he inherited the consciousness of the Turtle Spirit.

    Sorry, Duma said inwardly.

    "Increase the temperature," Duma barked.

    "Here, here."

    The little turtle bounced over and increased the temperature. With great joy, the little turtle watched on as Xu Fei was cooked. Tsk tsk, finally, this bastard Duma has changed his tastes.

    Yet another bloodcurdling scream sounded out. "Ah¡ª"

    ...

    Above the starry sky, an immense throne was faintly discernible.

    The man seated on the throne was still ying with the ring on his finger. His gaze swirled around, and once again, numerous battleships exploded just like fireworks. Done with that, his gazended on the before him. Godly powers were swirling about without stop as gods awakened one after another. Numerous formidable auras surged out. This initially ordinary-looking was finally no longer ordinary.

    The man watched on expressionlessly. After a long time, a tinge of disdain appeared in his eyes. Just like that, he watched on as this transformed, bing unprecedentedly powerful. After a long time, his figure vanished once again. As for the huge throne, it slowly vanished amid space. Everything seemed the same as ever.

    ...

    On a certain summit, a youth was smiling happily. "Old man, is this your so-called cmity?" With the rain, the awakening of all the gods had sped up, causing the gods that were supposed to slowly appear to all appear together. Suddenly, the entire world was in chaos. Mhm... The scene where all the gods were jumbled together like some dumpling... Tsk tsk.

    The old man nked. "I don¡¯t know." The future that had previously been readable had suddenly changed. The only thing he knew was that thisnd would encounter a huge cmity. But what exactly was the cmity? He had no answer to that. How could they deal with the cmity? He had no answer to that either.

    "Pft." The youth curled his lips. "If even this is not considered a disaster, what else can? Wu¡ª" He stretchedzily. "In any case, this is unrted to us. Humans... Hehe."

    ...

    Within a certain high-rise building, a youth pulsing with faint godly power was sitting cross-legged. Interestingly, as the godly power pulsed, odd items flickered around him. Video games,puters,municators, dolls... a certain odd-looking pink toy... and a pair of blue and white striped underwear still tinged with a certain smell...

    ...

    "Is this what you all require?" the youth asked with a sigh. Kids nowadays sure had weird tastes.

    "Go."

    He waved his hand. Next, those items pierced through the void, directly arriving beside the pillow of a certain someone.

    He could clearly feel that after doing this, his godly power had increased yet again. As for whether his gifts would bring that kid happiness or cause that kid to suffer a beating from his parents after waking up in the morning, it wasn¡¯t something this person was bothered with.

    The youth smiled proudly. "After all, a price has to be paid for desires to be fulfilled." However, when his gazended on the rain outside, he sank into silence yet again.

    "This situation... will bring Master worry, right?"

    He was somewhat anxious. Since an unknown point in time, his master had transformed into humanity¡¯s only hope. By himself, he shouldered the responsibility of guarding the entire human race. Each step he took was so very arduous.

    He inhaled deeply. "The primordial has descended... so what if you all are gods?"

    "My current strength is still far from sufficient. However, it won¡¯t be long before I be even stronger. Before you all have fully awakened, before you all have fully recovered... I will surpass you all! Then I can assist master and defeat you all!"

    The youth raised his fist, filled with battle intent. Although the gods had awakened, they were still rather weak. After slumbering within nothingness for so many years, what strength they¡¯d had should have already vanished. As such, they had no choice but to rebuild their strength. This would be a chance for humanity.

    Shua!

    The youth took in a deep breath, then continued sitting cross-legged. His entire body turned translucent and appeared within the dreams of countless people, asking people what their desires were. World peace? Yes, I can help you. Hi, this engineer here, what is your desire? What? A girlfriend? Sorry, I truly can¡¯t help with that...

    ...

    In the first ce, his strength originated from others, regardless of dream or reality. Ever since he had gotten lucky and identally fused with a certain god, his ability hadbined with godly power. This had started him on a unique path in his pursuit of strength. He would most certainly be stronger.

    Under the dark night, this youth¡¯s face was filled with battle intent.

    Bang! Bang!

    The sky seemed so hazy, and the rain seemed to have be even heavier. Countless people gazed at the sky. From this tempo, it seemed like the rain was nearing its end. All of them knew that when this rain ended, this world would havepletely transformed. Without the godly power enveloping the entire world, all the awakened gods would start appearing and fighting for their respective believers. The world would descend into chaos. However, just as the rain became heavier and neared its end, a terrifying piece of heavyweight news surfaced, seemingly rted to the Sin God.

 Chapter 740: The Terrifying Secret

    Chapter 740: The Terrifying Secret

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    What was discovered was a certain b. This b lookedpletely ordinary. It was the words on the b that were unsettling. These words seemed to have gone through countless ages, yet they were still as clear as ever.

    ----

    Year 20 after the fall of the primordial, a hazy day.

    Where is the Sin God slumbering? Where are the other gods slumbering? Why has no one discovered the existence of the Sin God? This is unbelievable.

    ----

    Some gods were horrified at this news.

    "This..."

    "Isn¡¯t the Sin God dead? How is it possible for him to be slumbering?"

    "This is fake news, right?"

    "Where was this b found?"

    "From a mountain near where I awakened. I sensed the ancientness within and took the b out to get a clearer look. Surprisingly, this is what I uncovered..."

    "Is it possible that this is fake?"

    "Not possible. I have already inspected it. This thing has indeed survived since the fall of the primordial. Moreover, such bs only existed during the Primordial Era."

    "...In short, what is written here is true?"

    "No idea."

    The anxious gods flipped the b around, trying to look for some clues. The contents were truly too astonishing. If the Sin God was truly still alive, as far as all the other gods were concerned, this was no different than a nightmare.

    Back then, the Sin God had attempted to conquer the entire world. In the end, he had been killed by the Creation God. Subsequently, the Creation God had been extremely dissatisfied with the fact that the world he had created had fallen under influence of other gods and had ultimately fused with the world itself.

    He had erased all traces of his existence and be one with the world. From that moment onward, this world had started operating by itself, thoroughly upgraded. During that war, both the Sin God and the Creation God had vanished. As for the other gods, they had gained true freedom and had started going independent, each proiming ownership over their respective domains. This was also what had caused the subsequent age of chaos.

    Unexpectedly, the Sin God was actually still alive. This god had been capable of contending against the Creation God. It did not matter if he had only been able to do it through exploiting this world, nor did it matter that he had ultimately suffered defeat. The fact still stood that he had been capable of contending against everyone.

    "This world has already been perfected by the Creation God. As such, the Sin God will not be able to exploit this world."

    "But his strength..."

    All the gods sank into silence. The Sin God was truly way too powerful.

    Even back then, he had only been defeated after all the gods had worked together, with even the Creation God getting involved. If he was to return once again and he sought revenge, who could stop him?

    "I do not trust this b."

    "Same here."

    A lot of people refused to believe the contents of the b. After all, apart from gods, all other existences were nothing but bugs. And with the trifling strength of those bugs, how could they have uncovered true clues leading to the Sin God? This was probably the creative imagination of some bug.

    "That is quite possible."

    "Forget about this for now, then."

    "Hey, this still pertains to the Sin God... We should at least investigate it, right?"

    Some gods exchanged nces. Everyone studied this b without stop, and finally, someone discovered a vague symbol in the corner of the b. This symbol was, in fact, part of an ancient numbering system used during the Primordial Era.

    "It is numbered..."

    "There are more of these?"

    "Try searching."

    "Try asking other gods as well."

    "All right."

    They started contacting other gods to ask about the b. However, this questioning session caused all the gods to be thoroughly horrified. They found that, in fact, quite a number of gods had such bs. The reason was that these bs were truly too conspicuous. With the faint godly power pulsing off them, these bs were easily discoverable by the gods. They also found that each of these bs wasbeled with a number. When all the bs were gathered, a terrifying content was revealed.

    ----

    Late night, hazy day.

    Today marks the first year of the fall of the primordial. Since the fall of the gods, thisnd has been much more peaceful. However, I discovered the true secret of the gods. They have yet to die for real... Rather, they all seem to be slumbering somewhere, awaiting the day of their awakening.

    ...

    ----

    Year six after the fall of the primordial, clear weather.

    I discovered an astonishing secret pertaining to the legendary Sin God. This powerful existence that once fought all the gods seems to have remained alive as well. Despite his grave injuries, he is alive and is slumbering somewhere, seemingly waiting for something.

    This is undoubtedly scary. Why is he still alive? Why did he stay behind? No answer... After searching through all the primordial vestiges, I still can¡¯t find the answer...

    Perhaps some gods assisted him back then?

    ----

    Year 10 after the fall of the primordial, heavy downpour.

    The discovery of the Sin God is incredibly worrying.

    After several years of research, I failed to discover many clues. However, I am certain that he is indeed still alive. O heavens, what did the primordial gods do?

    ----

    Year 20 after the fall of the primordial, hazy day.

    Where is the Sin God slumbering? Where are the other gods slumbering? Why has no one discovered the existence of the Sin God? This is unbelievable.

    ----

    Year 30 after the fall of the primordial, sunny weather.

    I found it! I have finally found the secret of the Sin God! Haha. He is indeed different than the other gods. He hid his godly power and inheritance on an alien world. It is no wonder that the other gods did not discover him.

    ----

    Year 40 after the fall of the primordial, blood moon.

    So this is the secret of the Sin God? His godly power and inheritance were left on an alien world. On top of that, a spatial whirlpool was constructed there to attract people without stop. These people will be converted into his believers, replenishing his strength without stop.

    Hahaha.

    With this, how can the other primordial gods discover him? The moment the Sin God returns will also be the moment all the gods tremble and face destruction. This time, there will be no Creation God to help them. As such, no one can stop the Sin God.

    ----

    Year 50 after the fall of the primordial, windy day.

    Throughout the years, I have searched every corner of the world. Unfortunately, with my strength, I was not able to discover it... My body is getting weak... Ifter generations find it, please do tell me of a way to go meet those fellows... I believe... the primordial gods will awaken first... With this... they can at least go and destroy the Sin God before he awakens.

    ----

    Year 60 after the fall of the primordial, heavy snowfall.

    I am actually still alive. Heh. I have yet to discover any clues about the alien world... By myself, my strength is limited. I intend to establish a sect focusing on searching for things pertaining to this. I wonder if they can survive on...

    ----

    Year 66 after the fall of the primordial, dark.

    Heh, I¡¯m afraid I truly can¡¯t hold on any longer. This will probably be my final message. These bs will all be hidden amid the mountains in hopes of preserving them as best as possible. I wonder if the gods will see these in the future... If you gods truly see these... please do go look for the Sin God. Naturally, all my findings will only be proven true if an alien world indeed exists. If there is no such alien world, there is no need to worry.

    ----

    Year 103 after the fall of the primordial, hail.

    I am the third sect master of the Divine Sect. Based on the sect ancestor¡¯s request, I am leaving a message here. We have finally found clues about the alien world. As for their method of passage, it remains unknown.

    The only thing we know is that they are all believers of the Sin God. They are exhausting all means avable to them to aid the Sin God¡¯s recovery. This is without a doubt extremely terrifying. As such, we will try our best to foil their n.

    Who are they? Where do they originate from? We don¡¯t know. Our only clues are that they all have two horns on their head and that they call themselves the twin-horns race.

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    ----

    Year 109 after the fall of the primordial, snowstorm.

    I seem to have discovered some clues that seem rather useless. I have always been curious as to why the Sin God challenged the entire world. After my subsequent research, I found that the Sin God might have obtained an ability capable of creating a new world.

    He very well could have intended to destroy this world and create his own world. Perhaps... that new world is the very one he slumbers in? Naturally, this is merely an assumption on my part.

    ----

    Year 120 after the fall of the primordial, heatwave.

    The secret of the Sin God seems to have something to do with rebirth. Master once said that the Sin God will constantly absorb the power of faith to undergo endless rebirth. One can only truly destroy him by eliminating his seed and severing his roots prior to his full awakening.

    However, how can one find him? How can one destroy him? I have zero clues, and I am already an old man. I have dedicated my entire life to seeking the secret of the Sin God, yet I have still failed to discover anything. I am indeed not master¡¯s match. As for my disciples, they have long given up on this quest.

    I¡¯m afraid the ancestors¡¯ teachings will end here. Just today, a few of my disciples started killing each other over the position of sect master. I am truly disheartened to see this and truly wish to continue the teachings of our ancestors. I don¡¯t know if it will...

    ----

    Year 130 after the fall of the primordial, sunny.

    Sect Master Huang was here.

    ----

    Year 150 after the fall of the primordial, rainy.

    What is the point of writing all this?

    ----

    Year 200 after the fall of the primordial, snowstorm.

    Fine, even I am an old man now. Before my death, I suddenly remembered this b. And thus I came. Although I have no interest whatsoever in the Sin God, this b seems capable of surviving history itself? Haha, I have no intention of having lived for nothing.

    Mhm...

    Let me give it some thought. Oh, right, I heard that the godly power left behind by the Sin God can be absorbed. This is what a horned fellow told me before his death. I don¡¯t quite believe his words, though. Yeah, there¡¯s more. I heard that in their alien world, that god is being worshipped.

    Hahaha.

    Yes, I have more.

    I heard that someone found the will of the Creation God. In the will, the Creation God mentioned that he had left behind some things to encourage the future generations to truly eliminate the Sin God. Anyone who seeded in eliminating the Sin God would be instantly promoted to godhood. Unfortunately, I don¡¯t have the coordinates of that damnable world. Otherwise I could just bring someone over to eliminate that annoying Sin God. With that, wouldn¡¯t I be a god as well?

    Tsk tsk tsk...

    Naturally, the main reason I have not attempted anything is that I don¡¯t believe any of this. In any case, I have never seen a god. I reckon the so-called gods are nothing but superstition. If the gods are truly so amazing, why did they die?

    Hehe.

    All right, great Sect Leader Huang will leave now...

    I reckon nobody will continue writing on these bs in the future. None of the youngsters nowadays care about the gods. After all, those matters are too far back in the past.

    ---

    That was the end.

    After this final message, no further messages were left. This was a chronicle left behind by a certain expert of a certain race after he had traveled the entire world in search of the gods. Ultimately, that person had discovered the secret of the Sin God.

    As the gods read this, they all chilled. Was the Sin God truly still alive? They dared not believe this.

    Some gods started voicing their doubt. "These bs..."

    A different god sighed. "They have already been inspected. The inspection verified that all the bs matched the dates written on them. Everything was from that era."

    All the gods sank into silence. Something like this was impossible to fake, not when there were so many gods here. Therefore, regardless of how much they doubted the content of the bs, they could not doubt the existence of the b, the old man, or the sect he had established.

    Divine Sect...

    The eyes of a certain god started shining. Countless figures started shing before his eyes.

    ----

    With his own eyes, he pierced time itself and witnessed the birth and ruin of that sect. He did not forget to y all he had witnessed in the form of holograms so all the gods could see it.

    "..."

    Everyone sank into silence. They were well aware of this god.¡¯s ability In short... the Sin God...

    A certain flustered god started voicing his doubts. "No. This can only prove that these people truly believed what they wrote. However, with their level, what if they were wrong?"

    "That is possible."

    "Twin horns, alien world... Haha. How is it possible for an alien world to exist?"

    Some other gods started agreeing. "That¡¯s right."

    "We are all gods here. If there is indeed an alien world, how could we not know of it? Even if that alien world is located in a different dimension, causing us all to be unable to sense it, the Spatial God would be able to sense it."

    "The Spatial God is already dead."

    "During the chaotic war back then, he was the first god to die. Have you forgotten?"

    "..."

    "From the b, this alien world was created by the Sin God himself. In order to prevent the other gods from going there, he most certainly ced the world far away from this world. With regr methods, we will not be able to get there."

    "I doubt it."

    The gods started arguing. In fact, due to this matter pertaining to the Sin God, these gods had created some a divinework of sorts that worked like the inte. Within thiswork, all the gods could see the projections of the other gods. One could say that this was, in a way, a virtual reality unique to these gods.

    A figure that was obviously much more imposing than the others appeared, causing all the gods to sink into silence. "What is the point of arguing about all this? Regardless of whether it¡¯s true or not, won¡¯t we find out after conducting an investigation? For now, we have to first confirm whether such an alien world truly exists. Then we have to confirm if the twin-horns race truly exists."

    "All right."

    A certain god started investigating right away. As for the other gods, they could only smile bitterly. Would an alien world be so easy to find? However, the god in charge of the investigation did not take long to return with an extremely flustered expression, "Alien... alien world... still exists..."

    "What?"

    The gods¡¯ hearts jolted. It still existed? Now?

    That figure smiled bitterly. "Yes. They have attempted to invade the human world several times. ording to my investigation, it was all for the sake of faith. Moreover, the humans even captured a twin horn."

    "Faith..."

    The gods trembled as they heard this. Damn it, could this truly be the Sin God?

    One of the figures expressed his doubt. "Did you not ask the humans about this?"

    That figure smiled bitterly. "There is no need for that. As it so happens... the twin-horns members have appeared once again. Moreover, I even saw a teleportation portal that twin-horns members were flowing out of without stop. The aura they carry... does not seem like an aura native to this world."

    Shua!

    At this, all the gods were rmed. Twin horns... Alien world... All the puzzles seemed to be solved at this instant. So it turned out that an alien world indeed existed. If one thought about it, apart from the Creation God, which other god was capable of creating a world? The Sin God was the only one, since he had been powerful enough to provoke all the gods in existence at the same time.

    This was also the same conclusion the b writer had reached. The Sin God had challenged the Creation God in order to obtain his world-creating power so as to perfect his own world. With that, the Sin God would be able to increase in strength as well. As of this moment, all their questions had been answered!

    "Damn it."

    The gods trembled in fear. It would have been fine if they hadn¡¯t discovered this. But now...

    "In short, the Sin God is truly still alive."

    Everyone sank into silence. The facts were already there. They could not deny it and had no choice but to face this dreadful fact, that the damnable Sin God was still alive and slumbering in an alien world. To verify this, they had gathered nearly all the gods that had awakened. All the bs had been gathered and all the clues had been investigated. They had even found the twin-horns members that had arrived in this world.

    The gods all looked at each other. This was something they had to face.

    "What should we do?"

    "Why don¡¯t we kill our way there?" a certain god proposed.

    Another god was indignant. "Hehe, we have only recently awakened. Going over there now to give our lives away? I feel like it would be better to go after we have all recovered our godly powers andbat powers. That way, we will be more likely to seed."

    The other god sneered. "I have only one question."

    "Say it."

    "Who do you think will recover faster? You or the Sin God?" he asked coldly.

    Shua!

    At this question, all the gods sank into silence. This was a question that caused them to all dwell in grief.

    "What can we do, then?" a certain god asked meekly.

    "Immediately contact all the gods that have awakened and prepare to set off. Before the Sin God can recover, kill him. Let me remind you all of something else that was also recorded on the bs: the Sin God also left behind his own godly power and inheritance. In other words, if we kill him, we will be able to obtain his godly power. Or perhaps we can even obtain some of the Creation God¡¯s leftover godly power."

    Bang!

    The gods were all enticed by this proposition. Indeed. They recalled the contents of the bs. If what was written there was true...

    At this moment, even the gods that had been wavering earlier were enticed. Who knew how long it would take for them to fully recover? Yet if they could absorb the inheritance of that Sin God... At this point, all the gods were eager to give it a try.

    "Very good. Let us prepare to set off. We shall discuss everything else after killing the Sin God."

    "Understood."

    "With so many different godly powers between us, we are definitely stronger than the current Sin God. By the way, Luck Goddess, don¡¯t forget to assist us all."

    "She¡¯s not here."

    "Has she not awakened?" a certain god questioned. That should not be the case. After all, that unique rain earlier should have awakened all the gods.

    "No, she is dead."

    All the gods turned pale with fright. "Killed by the Sin God?"

    "No, I am the one who killed her." That voice continued coldly, "She attempted to absorb my godly power. After I awakened, I killed her. If any of you have any doubts, you can look for me. I am the Forest Goddess."

    The divinework sank into silence. Luck Goddess... absorbing godly power...

    True, true, that indeed seemed like something that b*tch would do. Surprisingly, though, this time, she had truly angered the Forest Goddess. The only thing they doubted was that the Forest Goddess could defeat the Luck Goddess. However, after giving it some thought, they found it eptable. This was a unique era where all the gods had recently awakened, an era where everything was possible.

    "Without her, things will be somewhat troublesome. However, we have no choice but to put caution to the wind."

    "Let us first go to the portal."

    "All right."

    Shua!

    Numerous figures dashed out. Shortly after, all the gods appeared near the portal. At present, the twin-horns members were still wandering about in confusion. That was because, a short while ago, everyone they had killed or touched had transformed into figures of light and vanished, as if everything had been nothing but an illusion.

    "What¡¯s going on?"

    "Is this another of the humans¡¯ tricks?"

    The elder was furious. "Damn it. These bugs are good for nothing but such trickeries. Go, let us kill our way over and show them our true strength."

    "Howl!"

    "Howl!"

    The twin-horns members howled as their blood boiled with battle intent. Each time they had faced the humans, the results had left a bad taste on their mouth. The time had finallye for their revenge.

    "Kill!"

    "Kill!"

    Everyone howled. And thus, they started advancing. Just as they were preparing to teach the puny humans a lesson, suddenly, the sky above was enveloped in darkness. Numerous figures appeared, each iparably powerful. At the sight of this, all of the twin-horns members trembled. These guys... why was it that each and every one of these figures gave off the same feeling their lord gave off?

    "Fear not! This must be another of the humans¡¯ tricks!" the elder howled. "Do not give these bastards any chances. Kill them all."

    "Yes!"

    As they heard this, the twin-horns members all seemed to be enlightened. The damnable humans had already tricked them earlier. Now the humans were thinking of tricking them again? This was too excessive!

    Kill! Kill! Kill!

    With boiling blood, the twin-horns members charged at the sky. Each of the gods that had appeared was as dazzling as the sun itself. It was precisely because they seemed so powerful that the twin-horns members were of the opinion that this was a trick.

    Illusion! This must be an illusion!

    Bang!

    They all charged at the sky only to transform into a rain of blood. Only a single one of the gods had needed to casually wave his hand to freeze all these twin-horns members in ce before transforming them into nothingness. Bugs... were still bugs, after all. Only the twin-horns elder was left alive.

    Hum¡ª

    A certain god pointed at the elder¡¯s forehead.

    "Tell me everything pertaining to your god."

    Shua!

    Radiance swirled about, and next, all the information pertaining to the god was extracted. Some were real, while some was merely propaganda. In the eyes of the twin-horns members, their god was an omnipotent existence.

    "This fits the description on the bs."

    "Sin God, eh?"

    "The world he created was too small, resulting in ack of faith. This is the reason they keep invading the human world..."

    "Yes, everything seems to click."

    All the gods exchanged nces, each of them in a heavy mood. They had all given thought to how this world should be ruled moving forward after their awakening. They had also contemted ways to grow their believers. However, none of them had expected that the first incident they would partake in after awakening was doing battle with the Sin God.

    "Looks like we have no choice but to take a trip over there."

    "Yes."

    The gods all looked at the portal. Twin-horns members were still flowing out of the portal without stop. However, all of them were cleanly killed off by the gods.

    "Let¡¯s go. It is time we say hi to an old friend."

    Swish! Swish!

    The formidable gods all descended from the sky and immediately entered the portal. The initial anxiousness and fear was nowhere to be seen, reced by excitement. The Sin God... hehe. That was a boundless amount of godly power waiting for them there. For a lot of these gods, the godly power of the Sin God would be sufficient to help them break through, bing even stronger.

    Shua! Shua!

    Numerous gods shed forward. At this time, near the portal, a ck shadow noiselessly appeared. He regarded the portal and the surroundings that were now empty, a grin forming on his face.

 Chapter 743: Trick and Kill

    Chapter 743: Trick and Kill

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    On the alien world, the moment the gods appeared, all the living beings present there reduced to nothingness. Regardless of how strong they were, it was pointless before these gods. In horror, the twin horns members fled before being frozen and subsequently killed.

    Bang!

    Their minds were extracted and read by the gods.

    "Indeed..."

    "They are trying to expand the faith of their god."

    "Has anyone found that fellow?"

    "Found him. However, it seems somewhat weird. From our progress thus far and what we have seen of their god from their memories, this god does not seem too strong."

    "An unknown minor god?"

    "Mhm... His aura is somewhat weak, and his appearance does not resemble the Sin God."

    "Is it a disguise? Perhaps he wanted to hide his appearance from these mortals. After all, there is no need for a god to reveal their true appearance to mortals."

    "True."

    The gods all sank into silence. Everything they had seen thus far had been extracted from the memories of these twin horns: the image of a god that had been exaggerated with some special effects to spice it up. This was definitely different from how the god normally looked.

    "It doesn¡¯t matter. Regardless of whether that is his true appearance, won¡¯t we know after taking a look?"

    "That makes sense."

    "As for these twin-horns members, just kill them while leaving their consciousnesses behind. In any case, we still need to find a way to return after we are done here."

    "Mhm."

    Shua! Shua!

    Numerous lights swirled around. The twin-horns members that were charging at the gods were no different than moths flying into a me. After dying, they all transformed into numerous clumps of consciousness. One only needed to approach the clumps to extract all their memories. Due to the information contained in their heads, even in death, they could not obtain aplete death.

    That the twin-horns race had been able to invade the human world multiple times proved that they hadplete knowledge of how to teleport to the human world. As such, the gods were not worried about the matter of returning to their home. Everything seemed to be under control.

    "Found him," a god said with shining eyes.

    "Go!"

    All the gods charged over. The Sin God... had the timee for battle? They were all filled with anticipation. After joining hands to kill this Sin God, all of them would be able to increase their strength. However, some of the gods were still doubtful, as they felt that something did not seem right, as if they had missed something. Was the god here truly the Sin God?

    ...

    In the Gic Union, Chen Feng was silently studying the screen in front of him. All the statistics from the awakening of the gods until their recent departure were gathered on this screen he was looking at. And now...

    Shua!

    The portal was shown on that screen. Just earlier, he had with his own eyes watched on as all the gods had stepped through the portal, leaving this.

    Naturally, the gods were in no way stupid. Some of them had ced some firm barriers around to lock the entire portal down, not allowing any regr life-forms near it.

    "None of those gods noticed you monitoring them?" The deputy president was amazed.

    "Satellite monitoring," Chen Feng replied expressionlessly. These primordial gods probably had no idea that, high up in the sky, there was a thing capable of seeing them, monitoring all their actions. No godly power was required, nor was there a need to lock on to any of the gods. The monitoring could progress noiselessly, undetected.

    "It¡¯s almost time," Chen Feng muttered.

    Shua!

    A ck radiance shed. Near the portal, a pitch-ck figure appeared. For the first time, the appearance of this figure was revealed: he was Qin Hai.

    "How is it?" Chen Feng asked.

    "No problems encountered," Qin Hai said calmly. "Based on the coordinates you provided, I went over and killed all the twin-horns members that knew about teleportation and the coordinates. All the materials and data that could be used has been destroyed as well. As of now, that twin-horns world will not be able to teleport to this world."

    Chen Feng smiled. "Very good." In other words, they only had to destroy this portal and the connection would bepletely severed.

    "It has been hard on you and Kong Bai," Chen Feng said in a soft voice. That¡¯s right. All this was the handiwork of Chen Feng, Qin Hai, and Kong Bai. Kong Bai did not dare transmigrate to the Primordial Era. However, what of the subsequent eras? Those were godless eras, eras Kong Bai could visit as he wished. With the assistance of Chen Feng¡¯s Luck Aura, Kong Bai had been to easily visit the different eras so as to leave behind numerous legends pertaining to the so-called Divine Sect, as well as the bs the gods had discovered.

    These were what the gods had uncovered. The only reason for all this had been in order to lure all the gods to the alien world. Chen Feng remembered that in their previous battle with the twin-horns race, they had discovered that there was also a god there on the twin-horns world. Regardless of how much the twin-horns race had bragged about their god, it seemed like this was in fact a minor god. They had reached this conclusion after noticing how slow this god¡¯s recovery rate was.

    In any case, it did not matter if this god was powerful or not. So long as there were trails of this god¡¯s existence, Chen Feng would be able to disguise this god as the legendary Sin God, Ye. Next, all the awakened gods would head over. And finally...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng said, "Qin Hai."

    "Understood."

    The ck diamond on Qin Hai¡¯s forehead started gleaming.

    Hum¡ª

    In Chen Feng¡¯s hands, luck and misfortune pulsed andnded on the barriers protecting the portal. Instantly, the barriers copsed, allowing Qin Hai free passage.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Numerous loud booms resounded. Instantly, the huge portal copsed, transforming into nothingness.

    "So long, gods," Chen Feng said with a burning gaze. The Spatial God was long dead. A huge number of gods had awakened this time, yet not a single one of them possessed a teleportation ability. This was the core of Chen Feng¡¯s n. Now that all those gods had been sent to the alien world, they had any way of returning.

    With this, the humans would be safe. Or perhaps one could say that the Gic Era would regain its peace. This was Chen Feng¡¯s n, his scheme against all the gods. From the legends of the Sin God to the bs nted by Kong Bai, followed by the assassinations conducted by Qin Hai, each section was closely linked together, finally resulting in the full departure of all the gods that did not belong to this Gic Era.

    Everyone gazed at the sky. Behind the haze, a sunny and cloudless sky seemed to being out. Was everything finally over? At this time, on the alien world, the gods that were heading toward the Sin God heard the loud explosion. Next, they saw the portal copse.

    "Who did it?"

    "Hmph!"

    "Hold on..."

    Some of the gods already had a bad premonition. "We seem to have neglected something."

    A certain god that was known for his wits vigntly said, "Quick, start up a brand new portal."

    Shua! Shua!

    From the innumerable consciousnesses of the dead twin-horns members, they started searching for information pertaining to the teleportation portal. rmingly, all the information pertaining to the portal seemed to have vanished. No coordinates could be found, nor could any no know-how regarding portals. On top of that, even all the recorded data had vanished.

    The gods were rmed.

    "How is this possible?"

    Finally, some of the gods realized it."This is a trap..."

    "Someone used the destruction of the Primordial Era as bait to lure all the gods away."

    "That is not possible!"

    "How is that not possible? Think properly. Is the god here even the Sin God? Even now, you guys are still doubtful, right?"

    The gods all sank into silence. True, was the god here even the Sin God? After pondering the matter from this perspective, they discovered something dreadful. If this was truly the Sin God¡¯s world, how could it be so weak? Moreover, from the memories they had extracted, the god here had only moved once to stop a mereet, and his figure had immediately gone translucent afterward. That was simply too weak. As such, there was no Sin God here. Here... only a minor unknown god could be found. As for all the other gods, they had been tricked into this world.

 Chapter 744: God-Slaughtering Trap

    Chapter 744: God-ughtering Trap

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Who did this?"

    Some of the gods found this unbelievable. Them, the gods revered by countless beings, had actually been scammed?

    The Forest Goddess spoke. "I know of a person. The strongest human, Chen Feng."

    Shua!

    Next, she projected everything Chen Feng had done into the air. After the other gods saw it, they understood thoroughly. Everyone sank into silence. Such a character, and those familiar methods...

    A certain god raged. "A mere human. When I return, I will eliminate all nine generations of his family."

    "Well, it seems like we can no longer return."

    Some of the gods appeared bitter and astringent.

    "..."

    They all sank into silence. Anger? What was the point of getting angry now? They were nomoners; they were all able to instantly suppress their anger. However, as they looked at the twin-horns world before them, this deste world, they wondered if they truly had to remain trapped here.

    A certain god suddenly said, "This is not possible! I feel like there are some issues with this analysis. If this operation was truly problematic to begin with, how could it have gone unnoticed by the several thousand of us? Moreover, the method of returning... Granted, some gods are quite clumsy in nature. However, there are some who are extremely cautious as well. Therefore, there had to be some gods who immediately figured out a way to return the moment they arrived here. Those gods should have extracted memories pertaining to how to return the moment they arrived here. Perhaps that portal¡¯s copse had nothing whatsoever to do with Chen Feng. Rather, it was the work of some gods that wished to trap us all?" this god concluded, providing a new angle to consider this from.

    "That is quite possible."

    Everyone sank into contemtion, finding this analysis to be more probable. True, how was it possible for several thousand gods here to all think of the same thing? How was it possible that not a single one of them had even bothered thinking about their return? Therefore, it was quite probable that there was a traitor in their midst! How could a mere mortal like Chen Feng be able to trick them, trick the gods?

    Suddenly, a god spoke. "ckmount God. I recall noticing you doing something earlier."

    The ckmount God did not deny that as he coldly said, "Yes. The first thing I did after entering was kill a certain elder. After that, I tried searching his memories to look for information pertaining to the teleportation. However, nothing was found. Therefore, I assumed that perhaps the other gods had extracted the information pertaining to teleportation before me."

    Everyone had a pensive look. "Indeed. Who else did the same thing immediately after arriving?"

    Something like this could not be hidden from all the gods here. Therefore, it did not take long for some gods to start standing out. However, horrifying all of them, all the gods said the same thing. None of them had obtained any information pertaining to teleportation. Several thousand gods had searched for the information, yet not a single one of them had obtained it?

    "Are you all kidding me?" the ughter God asked furiously.

    "They are not lying," said the Deceit God. "I can¡¯t feel any lies from these fellows, nor any godly power fluctuations."

    "..."

    All the gods sank into silence. Was this clue a dead end as well? Suddenly, the truth of things became fuzzy. Was this the work of Chen Feng, or was it some traitor? Or perhaps...

    A certain god spoke suddenly. "I have an idea. Regardless of who the culprit is, Chen Feng or a traitor, we only need to focus on returning. Thus, does the local god here have any teleportation or spatial abilities? I feel like our only hope lies in him."

    Everyone realized that this was indeed the truth. So long as they found that god, everything would be solved.

    "Go."

    They exchanged nces before once again heading toward that god.

    At this time, Chen Feng was chatting up Kong Bai and the rest at the Gic Union.

    "What do you think those gods will do?"

    "What else?" Qin Hai said expressionlessly. "They will probably go looking for the local god. That is their only hope. Naturally, the result for that will only serve to bring them into further despair."

    Since they had decided to act, they had certainly acted thoroughly.

    The things Qin Hai had done when he had entered the twin-horns world previously had severed all possibilities of further teleportation. With the assistance of luck, all possibilities had been easily destroyed. Not a single god would be able to return to this world. They would struggle and fight each other until, finally, the leftover gods startedpeting over the little amount of faith that world contained.

    Everyone was there. At this time, as Chen Feng guessed, the gods there had finally reached their destination. There, a god slumbered. They did not need to even awaken that god. From the first moment their gazesnd on that god, their hearts chilled. That was because the aura of this god was so weak that it was almost negligible. This was clearly a low-tier god, a minor and new god that was not even qualified to have a title attached to his name.

    "Try asking him."

    They forced the god awake.

    "Ah?"

    The god looked around at his tiny world nkly. For so many gods that were more powerful than him to have suddenly appeared here, he nearly copsed emotionally. "You... who are you guys?"

    "Do you have any information about teleportation?" asked one of the strongest gods there while he was radiating a faint aura capable of causing one¡¯s heart to flutter.

    "Yes, yes I have," the minor god answered in fear. However, before they could even feel any joy from his answer, the god started giving off several names. These were all the elders of the twin-horns race. "These people, all of them know about teleportation."

    "..."

    "They are all dead. The data pertaining to teleportation has vanished as well."

    All the gods were speechless.

    "If so, there is no longer any information pertaining to teleportation here. All I have ever done here is sleep. Everything was handed over to them."

    The minor god was copsing emotionally.

    All the other gods: "..."

    As of this moment, they all realized with great sorrow that they had truly been trapped here. All these illustrious gods had to be trapped on such a tiny world?

    "I know of a certain person who knows about teleportation," the minor god said after giving it some thought. "Based on what the elders reported to me previously, Chen Feng once arrived on this world. He is also the only human who has sessfully left this world. Perhaps you guys can..."

    Pu!

    The gods were so angered that they started coughing up blood. Chen Feng! Again! How could they still not understand? All this was a trap set by that damnable human, Chen Feng!

    "Chen Feng!"

    Their grievances surged to the sky. Never had they hated a single mortal so much.

    "We... can no longer return?"

    After giving it some thought, their fear intensified. They could no longer return! This was the scariest of all!

    The gods here had recently awakened and had little godly power at their disposal. The only reason they had evene here was in order to kill the Sin God and obtain his godly power to aid their own recovery. Who could have expected that they would end up trapped here? The moment their godly power dried up, they would probably...

    No! I don¡¯t want to fall into slumber yet again!

    A certain god pointed at the minor local god and asked, "Hey,e. How many people do you have on this world?"

    "Not much," the minor god said in horror. "Some of them have already been killed by you guys. At this moment, there are around a hundred thousand of them. Please don¡¯t kill me. If you guys need faith, I can convert it all to you guys."

    "Oh?"

    The gods¡¯ eyes shone. Among the gods trapped here, some were still filled with remorse, while some had yet to recover from their shock. There were also some who had already started setting their sights on the inhabitants here. If they couldn¡¯t return, they had no choice but to fight over the twin-horns members.

    They believed that so long as they survived, they would be able tost long enough, until the day came where the twin-horns race once again found passage back to their home world. Since they had been able to discover the methods of teleporting once, they would most certainly be able to do it once again after some time. They only needed to survive until that day arrived. And before the arrival of that day, they would require a never-ending supply of faith and godly power.

    Shua!

    Their gazesnded on the living beings of this. When they once again looked at each other, hostility was apparent in their eyes.

    Chapter 745: Who Are You?

    "Don¡¯t act recklessly," a rather prestigious god warned, causing all the gods to calm their heads. "First, try to think if there are other solutions. As for you, don¡¯t mess around."

    "All right." The minor god was absolutely horrified. He felt like he was the saddest of them all. He had been slowly and steadily recovering here in this world. Who could have guessed that he would encounter so many powerful gods when he woke up today? No matter what these gods said, he had to listen. Right now, everyone was looking for a way to leave.

    s, nothing was found. One day passed, then three days, seven days, one month, and even more. As time passed, the gods finally started copsing emotionally, as they no longer had much godly power left.

    "We can¡¯t keep waiting like this."

    "Yeah, those major gods are surely trying to exhaust us to death so they can monopolize this¡¯s faith."

    "That is certain."

    Finally, a number of gods started resisting. Due to their low amount of godly power, they had no choice but to resist. And thus the war of the gods erupted. Countless gods started fighting each other so they could obtain the pitiful hundred thousand believers of the twin-horns race. None of them had expected that so soon after awakening from the true war of the gods during the Primordial Era, a new war would erupt here. One could say that this war was in fact even more desperate than the previous war had been.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    The twin-horns world shook without stop. Everyone was fighting while that minor local god could do nothing but pitifully defend the world from destruction. Since he was the most familiar with this world, this task hadnded on him. Nobody bothered doing anything to him, as everyone was clear that regardless of who the final victor was, this world had to survive. Otherwise, they would all be trapped in space, lonely and deste as they waited for their eventual deaths.

    Bang! Bang!

    The war continued. Suddenly, the entire sky sank into silence as a bloody glow bloomed. Finally, the first god had been killed. The entire world sank into momentary silence. However, almost immediately afterward, the battle resumed. Everyone was fighting for survival.

    Slumbering? None of them were willing to fall into slumber. If this was the human world, they would still be able to awaken from the slumber. But here, slumbering in this damnable world? No, they were not willing!

    The moment they fell into slumber here, with the pitiful amount of godly power this world could supply, the slumber could very well be eternal. That was scarier than death itself. As such, they might as well throw caution to the wind and fight it out.

    Bang! Bang!

    The battle continued. Boundless godly powers with numerous colors flickered without stop, driving this world to destruction. Amid all this, the Forest Goddess had stayed her hand. That was because she had noticed something familiar: coincidences, inner conflict... weren¡¯t these things that luck bitch had been good at? But wasn¡¯t she dead? Could this truly be a coincidence?

    Shua!

    Hands pulsing with godly power, she helped that minor god protect this world. The other gods had already descended into madness, causing this world to be on the verge of copsing from their fights.

    The minor god was grateful. "Th-thank you."

    The Forest Goddess ignored him. As she had been awakened earlier, she had quite a healthy amount of godly power. As such, she did not need to fight. Unfortunately, this minor god here would probably notst much longer. The moment this battle ended would also be this god¡¯s moment of death. Those gods would not allow a god all the inhabitants here believed in to live, as that would be too dangerous. Therefore, this god would most certainly die.

    Pu!

    With blooming blood, yet another god was killed. The almighty and majestic gods had be nothing but cannon fodder here due to them being too weak. The other gods all nked momentarily before regaining their senses and resuming the battle. This was a war between gods. Therefore, there would definitely be more deaths.

    Pu! Pu!

    With the continuous death of gods, everyone soon became ustomed to it. The ground was dyed red by blood, and the sky was tinged by various colors, each representing a different god. Godly powers bloomed everywhere, dying gods screamed everywhere, and numerous colors interwove together. From this group of several thousand gods, a huge number died off.

    Ultimately, amid the blood-red world, only around 100 gods persevered, fighting on with great difficulty.

    Pu!

    Yet another god died off. With this, the surviving gods numbered less than a hundred.

    Among the surviving gods, some could no longer stand properly, while some were covered in wounds. Everyone was ring at each other, waiting for the final fatal attack.

    The Forest Goddess sighed. "Can you all stop? This is enough. With the number of twin-horns members, even if they are split among you guys, the godly power will be sufficient for you all to recover."

    Only at this did the gods awaken from their madness. True, this was already sufficient. This was a war where there were no winners. Their only goal was to survive, that was all. They looked around, looking at the multicolored and ruined world. It was only at this moment that they realized how bitter this war had been and how many gods had perished.

    Several thousands of them had perished. Each of the survivors was the strongest of gods, or to be more urate, these gods used to be the strongest. As for those so-called low-tier and mid-tier gods, they had all perished in this war.

    "Is it over?" a certain god muttered.

    "I guess so."

    For now, none of them had any desire to do battle.

    "If... if I can return to the human world, I will most certainly kill that damnable fellow."

    Their eyes zed with hatred. Chen Feng! That damnable human! When had they ever been tricked so badly by a mere mortal? After all, several thousand gods had been tricked. God ying was an incredibly terrifying term, as even in the Primordial Era, anyone that showed any potential god-ying capability was instantly killed off by the gods.

    That was because none of the gods wished to be the one to perish. And yet this Chen Feng had caused several thousand gods to die. With the persuasion of the Forest Goddess, the gods here had finally stopped fighting. Regardless of how bitter the battle had been, regardless of how many gods had perished, now that the believers of the twin-horns race were sufficient to support them all, there was no longer a need to fight.

    However, this would only stay true temporarily. And now they had one final question left. How were they supposed to convert these believers?

    "I... I can transfer them all to you guys," the minor god said in horror.

    A god sneered. "There is no need for that. They believe in you. Thus, the godly power will be supplied to you. Even if you are willing to convert their faith to godly power and transfer the godly power to us, that is too much of a waste. Moreover, this will result in all of us relying on you alone. We definitely cannot agree to this. As such, I have an even better solution," he said coldly.

    "What solution is that?" the trembling minor god asked.

    That godughed nastily. "Killing you. Next, we can divide the believers of this world."

    Shua!

    The moment his words left his mouth, he moved.

    The other gods merely watched on silently. Even the Forest Goddess could only shake her head. From the beginning, they had been aware that this was the only eptable ending. For any of them to start gathering believers, this minor god had to first die.

    The Forest Goddess sighed regretfully. Compared to these gods, this minor god here was probably the most innocent of them all. Unfortunately, there was truly no helping it. They only had themselves for me for invading the human world.

    Bang!

    Terrifying godly power descended. This was a true top-tier godly power. Despite the low amount, it was still something a minor god could never hope to contend against.

    Shua!

    The terrifying godly power swept forth.

    Pu!

    The familiar sound of flesh being pierced echoed. And yet when all the gods there got a clear look, their hearts thumped wildly, as what they saw was truly too horrifying. That minor god had used a single hand to easily block the attack from the other god.

    So easily, so terrifyingly. He lightly grabbed at the clump of godly power in his hand. Just like that, the top-tier god¡¯s godly power could no longer advance.

    The top-tier god was horrified. "How is this possible?"

    The minor god chuckled. "Ah. Copse!"

    With that, the godly power copsed and that god was flung back, coughing blood wildly.

    The other gods were all shaken.

    "You... who exactly are you?"

    "Me?" The minor god grinned. "Who do you guys think I am?"

    Bang!

    Suddenly, the corpses of the gods sprawled everywhere, the godly powers lingering in the air, and the blood of the gods that had been spilled earlier were absorbed by the world. The minor god stood up, pulsing with a seemingly boundless godly power. Everything that the world had absorbed transformed into a huge whirlpool before entering his eyes and transforming into numerous clumps of me that seemed capable of zing on forever, akin to a sin that could never be extinguished.

    "It¡¯s you!"

    All the surviving gods trembled, watching on incredulously. The Sin God... Ye... It was actually him for real! How was this possible? How could it be him? Had this not been a scam on the part of Chen Feng? Was this not a lie told by Chen Feng? This guy... This guy... They all trembled.

    "How is it possible..."

    They did not dare believe that the Sin God was actually still alive and was actually this powerful.

    The Sin God smiled. "I have to thank you all for this. After absorbing the blood, bodies, and godly power of several thousand gods... Ahh... This is truly too perfect. I don¡¯t know how much longer it would have taken me to recover without you guys."

    Bang!

    Their hearts all shuddered. Everything they had done had been taken advantage of by this fellow. If they had known earlier that the Sin God was here, they would have most certainly been able to kill him by joining hands. But now... But now... Their hearts trembled. Several thousand gods had killed each other until only a hundred remained. As for the several thousand gods that had died, they had served as fertilizer for the Sin God, transforming into his source of power. With the pitiful little power the surviving gods had, how could they contend against him?

    "No wonder," the Forest Goddess muttered. Earlier, she had been curious about why a mere minor god had been able to keep this world stable even as all the other gods were battling it out. Unexpectedly, this guy was indeed the Sin God. Finally, all the pieces of the puzzle had clicked into ce. The entire god-ying operation had started with the Sin God, and now, it was ending with the Sin God. They had finally confirmed the existence of the Sin God, yet they were no longer capable of contending against him.

    "No, this is not possible. How is it possible that you can absorb all their power? Their godly powers obviously dissipated amid the air. How is it possible that you could absorb them?" one of them roared. How was it possible to absorb godly power that had dissipated? On top of that, there was also the blood of those gods.

    They had clearly seen the blood seeping into the ground while the godly power dissipated and dispersed. How could the Sin God have absorbed it? This was not something the Sin God was supposed to be capable of doing.

    "Hehe. Didn¡¯t the legend you guys read tell you?" The Sin God had a faint smile. "Because... this is a world I created myself." He raised his hand.

    Bang!

    The entire world started spinning. At this instant, all the powers that had dispersed into nature, into the world itself, merged with the Sin God, bing his. This, in turn, caused the hearts of all the gods present to jolt violently. They had finally recalled what they had read from the bs... The Sin God had created his own world, and it was because of that that he had started fighting the Creation God. He wanted to gainprehension on the true origin of a world, and he also wanted to gainprehension on the methods to create a true world.

    They all despaired.

    "How could things have developed this way..."

    The Sin Godughed toyingly. "Wee to my world."

    Bang!

    Next, the godly power of sin swirled out, enveloping all the gods there.

    ...

    At the same time, everyone in the Gic Union was celebrating the disappearance of the gods. The primordial that had just descended had vanished yet again before it could even disy its might. Humanity had once again returned to a godless era.

    "Hahaha, the gods are all gone."

    "Without gods, those resonators will not be able to borrow the power of gods anymore."

    "Yeah, now the resonators are nothing but stronger awakened ones. They are no longer as threatening."

    "This is great."

    Countless people were overjoyed. On this day, countless people celebrated. This was a day of celebration for all of humanity, not to forget the ancients. Nearly the entire world was in a wild celebration. The rain had stopped, while the haze was receding, with the sun finally shining through. The warm sunshine bathed the world, giving everyone a feeling of warmth. From now onwards, this would again be an era of humans.

    The deputy president patted Chen Feng¡¯s shoulder. "Many thanks." His face was rather flushed, a testament to how much liquor he had drunk in celebration.

    Nobody knew more than him how difficult it had been for humanity, and he was the only one who knew how anxious the higher-ups of humanity had been. Fortunately, everything had ended.

    "Mhm."

    Chen Feng nodded, but he did not partake in the celebration. He walked over to a nearby summit and gazed at the sunny sky, his brows frowning.

    "Spirit, can you check for me if there are any problems?"

    Spirit shook her head. "I checked. Nothing."

    Chen Feng was filled with doubt. "Even you can¡¯t see it?" Was it truly a misconception on his part? For reasons unknown, he had an uneasy feeling. He had already checked with Spirit and confirmed that among all his ns, no problems had cropped up and everything had been implemented perfectly. It was no longer possible for those gods to return. Moreover, they had even started fighting among themselves. Not many of them remained now. Chen Feng had confirmed all these things. Everything had progressed smoothly. So why was he still feeling so uneasy?

    Kong Bai sat down beside Chen Feng and said, "I told you to not touch yourself that much. See, even your spirit is weakened now."

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. This guy...

    "Is it because you haven¡¯t had anything progress so smoothly for a while now?" Kong Bai curled his lips. Is Chen Feng¡¯s confidence truly so low?

    "No." Chen Feng shook his head and said with a solemn expression, "I am still anxious because the opponents are, after all, gods!"

    God. This was no mere term or title. As a person with dual godly powers himself, he was clear how scary the gods were. Even with his present strength, when it came to purebat strength, he would probably fail to defeat even the weakest of gods, let alone the several thousand gods that he had schemed against.

    "The so-called gods are nothing but stronger life-forms," Kong Bai said in disdain.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "You are talking about minor gods. Those minor gods are indeed nothing but life-forms with strongerbat prowess. However, those major gods possess way too many things we do not understand. Those things..."

    Chen Feng gazed at the sky. Those were exactly what he was worried about. After all... those were gods!

    "What is there to fear?" muttered Kong Bai. "Regardless of how strong they are, they are all off of this now, right?"

    However, just as he finished his words...

    Bang!

    A terrifying sh streaked past the sky, startling countless people.

    This was now a godless world, yet that enormous bolt of lightning that had appeared was formed of godly power. A godly power that far surpassed anything they had felt thus far.

    Everyone was rmed.

    "What happened?"

    Bang! Bang!

    Thunder roared as numerous enormous bolts of lightning descended and godly power enveloped the entire sky.

    "What is that?"

    Kong Bai and the rest were shocked as well.

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils shrunk. "That is..."

    Bang!

    Amid the boundless lightning, a figure suddenly appeared. This figure resembled a giant, and with a single hand, he ripped the sky apart, like someone tearing apart a piece of cloth. Instantly, the sky was ripped into two parts, presenting an extremely sinister view to all the onlookers below. Half the sky was clear and boundless, while the other half was filled with crackling lightning. Just like this, amid this bizarre sight, that figure stepped out. With a single step, boundless godly power roiled out.

 Chapter 747: A Real God

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "What in the world is that?"

    Everyone was rmed. Even with the high frequency at which gods had awakened recently, they had never seen such an rming sight. The action of ripping the sky itself apart had truly shocked everyone.

    Bang! Bang!

    Even as thunder roared, that huge figure walked out, revealing an appearance nobody had seen before. On that face, a pair of burning eyes flickered.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s Misfortune Pen started trembling, seemingly in fear. A clear thought was transmitted over to Chen Feng, telling him the identity of this god...

    "Sin God!"

    The Misfortune Goddess made it extremely clear in her transmission. Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s eyes went wide.

    Kong Bai¡¯s mouth widened as well. "Holy shit." The Sin God? It couldn¡¯t be, right? They had just been making up stories about this god not too long ago. As such, they were naturally rather clear on this god. However, wasn¡¯t this god rumored to be dead? Why was he alive now?

    "How strong." Spirit stared at the Sin God nkly. That intense radiance and that cackling godly power around him was even greater than what the Luck Goddess had possessed.

    Chen Feng¡¯s scalp went numb. "How can such a god appear?" An intense sense of crisis could be felt. Not only had the Sin God appeared, it seemed like he had even recovered extremely well. A god at this level was not something humans could even hope to contend against. He had schemed hard to get all the gods away from this world. Never had he expected that a big guy like this would be overlooked.

    "Spirit, can you send him over to that world as well?" Chen Feng asked. Based on the information Qin Hai had obtained, they would be able to open a portal toward to the twin-horns world.

    "I can only try," Spirit said with a conflicted expression. She truly had no confidence in being able to influence a person at this level.

    "Give it a try."

    Chen Feng looked over at the solidifying figure. He knew that regardless of the sess rate, he had to give it a try. And thus, Qin Hai started trying to create a portal to the twin-horns world based on the information he had gathered. However, he failed.

    Finally, Chen Feng noticed that things were getting worse for them. "What¡¯s going on?"

    Qin Hai nked. "No idea. The information I had obtained is not wrong. However, I somehow feel that the entire twin-horns world has vanished?"

    "Vanished?" Chen Feng¡¯s heart thumped. How had the twin-horns world vanished? Had the world been destroyed because the battle of the gods there had been overly violent? Just as Chen Feng was filled with doubt, that god finally finished tearing the sky apart. His figure had also fully solidified. By his side, several familiar figures appeared. Among them was the Forest Goddess.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s pupils shrunk. "Why is she here as well?"

    Kong Bai and the rest exchanged nces in horror as well. The Forest Goddess had obviously been tricked over to the twin-horns world. Hold on... the other gods around her had also been tricked. Why were they here? Could it be...

    Bang!

    A dreadful godly power cackled about in the sky. Chen Feng¡¯s mind spun rapidly and finally reached a terrifying conclusion. The so-called minor god on the twin-horns world was in fact the Sin God. Their lies had turned into reality!

    Bang! Bang!

    The entire world was enveloped in godly power.

    Kong Bai gulped. "God damn it. Have we delivered several thousand gods to him like some delivery boy?"

    For this Sin God to be so powerful, he had to have absorbed quite a number of gods.

    Qin Hai had an unsightly expression. "I only want to know one thing. How is it possible for him to know a method of teleporting to this world? He is not the Spatial God. Moreover, he is even able to bring other gods along with him."

    "Perhaps... he once absorbed the Spatial God as well?" everyone guessed. Instantly, the world seemed to go silent. If that was truly the truth, this could very well be the end of humanity.

    "Spirit, think of a solution for me," Chen Feng said solemnly.

    Shua!

    Luck Aura was fully activated. In such a circumstance, only Luck Aura could seek a lifeline amid the numerous proverbial threads of fatalities. However, as luck wove around, searching for a lifeline...

    Bang!

    A godly power erupted as a terrifying godly power rippled out from above the sky. Instantly, all the threads were severed.

    "Get all humans to retreat," Chen Fengmanded without hesitation.

    The truth was that the Gic Union had some precautions in ce. Their n was to once again return to the past era, to hide humanity amid the regions enveloped in the aura of primal chaos. Chen Feng had once tested this n out. Even Spirit and the Misfortune Goddess were unable to detect the goings-on within the region of primal chaos.

    "All right," the deputy president answered unwaveringly. This was the humanity¡¯s final line of defense. He looked around at the flourishing world of humans. The humans would migrate from the world of light to temporarily hide within the unknown regions.

    The deputy president sighed. "Hopefully... this crisis can be solved soon."

    He turned around and departed. After the orders were passed down, humanity started their great migration. It was also at this time that the Sin God stood up, seemingly preparing to act.

    "Safeguard humanity!"

    Chen Feng activated his godly power without hesitation. At a time like this, he had no choice but to use both luck and misfortune together to protect the humans in their migration. However, surprising him, the Sin God did not bother to do anything to the humans. Moreover, he didn¡¯t bother doing anything to anyone. His one and only target was the world itself.

    Bang!

    A terrifying godly power cackled about. The Sin God¡¯s huge figure stood loftily amid the blue dome of heaven. One of his hands waved in the air, sending a terrifying godly power rippling out. This godly power ripped the sky apart before finally sting toward the ground below.

    Hum¡ª

    The ground trembled. The entire world seemed to be reducing in size beneath the lofty Sin God.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    A boundless radiance swirled about. Chen Feng¡¯s eyes widened as he witnessed everything. He could clearly see that the Sin God before him was growing in size. To be more precise, he appearedrger from their point of view, so huge that he seemed immovable, sorge that they could not even see the end of him. With his godly power, Chen Feng could clearly perceive that the Sin God wasn¡¯t the one changing. Rather, they were the ones reducing in size, again and again.

    Ultimately, the entire was transformed into a single bead. That¡¯s right, a single bead.

    The bead pulsed with faint godly power. Within, rivers and mountains could be seen, as could continents and oceans. Everything was still the same, preserved within this bead, appearing the same as if it was viewed from outer space.

    Chen Feng was dumbstruck. Kong Bai was dumbstruck. Even the deputy president was dumbstruck. They had never seen something so terrifying. They knew why the gods required believers. It was to serve as a supply of godly power. As such, they had guessed that the Sin God would probably attack the humans to demonstrate his prowess. They had put numerous preparations in ce for this.

    And yet not a single one of their various preparations entailed dealing with the entire world beingpressed. The Sin God was not bothered with humanity, nor was he bothered with any resistance. Battle? Nope. He only needed to lift his hand and wave it and the entire world would be reduced to a bead in his hand. Chen Feng and the others chilled as they witnessed this unfold. Was this the strength of a top-tier god?

    "Spirit, is there anything we can do?"

    Chen Feng pushed his Luck Aura madly. s, no solutions could be found. The moment the had been reduced into a bead, humanity¡¯s fate had been sealed, never to change. So this was Sin God? Even Spirit and the Misfortune Goddess had never imagined that the Ye before them was already this powerful, so powerful that they stood zero chance against him.

    "Humans..."

    The Sin God chuckled lightly. Looking at the bead in his hand, he proceeded to start pushing the bead toward his eyes.

    Chen Feng was shocked. "What are you trying to do?"

    Spirit¡¯s eyes went wide. "A world into an eye... He is trying to devour the entire human world! He is trying to use this method to transform the entirety of humanity into a resource that will provide him a steady and unending flow of godly power and faith!"

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Boundless ck godly power could be clearly seen seeping into the world. That was the power of the Sin God. With this, all of humanity¡¯s greed, evil, and desire was evoked. The instant this godly power seeped into the world, chaos erupted.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Next, a huge amount of godly power started flowing out of the world.

    "What is that?"

    "The godly power of sin! The Sin God used a small amount of godly power to induce the entire poption of this world to startmitting sins. From this, a huge amount of the godly power of sin is being generated and supplied to him. The entire world has transformed into his ve."

    Bang!

    At the center of the human territory, a huge pitch-ck sculpture descended. That was the sculpture of the Sin God, signifying the end of humanity.

    Hum¡ª

    The entire human world had actually transformed into a bead that had subsequently transformed into the Sin God¡¯s eye. One could even clearly see the numerousndscapes within the Sin God¡¯s eye.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The entire world started rotating, seemingly searching for the most fitting position to settle itself into the Sin God¡¯s eye. Chen Feng chilled. Through his godly power, he could clearly sense the never-ending flow of godly power from this bead that was subsequently pouring into the Sin God. As of now, this world was like a seed pulsing with a never-ending supply of power for the Sin God.

    The human world would not be destroyed, as the Sin God would not allow it. However, as Chen Feng looked at the world ridden with sin, he wondered if this was still the Gic Era he knew. Humanity was finished, and he could only watch on helplessly. He couldn¡¯t even put forth any sort of resistance, since he was too weak.

    In this situation where the powers of luck and misfortune couldn¡¯t achieve anything, it would be a joke to hope that Chen Feng¡¯s own strength would be capable of contending against this Sin God.

    "Spirit..." Chen Feng was hoping that his Luck Aura could still do something. s, Spirit could only shake her head. The Sin God¡¯s excessive strength had reduced all probabilities into nothing but a joke.

    Ka! Ka!

    The bead¡¯s rotation was slowing down. The godly power of sin still poured out unceasingly. At this time, the entire world slowed down, as it seemed to have finally found a fitting position to settle itself in.

    Hum¡ª

    The godly power started consolidating as everything seemed to start calming down. The border at the edges of the world became distinct. Chen Feng knew that this was the prelude for the full integration of the human world into the Sin God. When the border fully solidified, this world wouldpletely be part of the Sin God, bing a world within his eye.

    Suddenly, Kong Bai pulled at Chen Feng. "Go. We must leave."

    A battle at this level was not one they could get involved in. The only thing they could do was flee before the entire world was fully locked down.

    "This world... has to suffer such a fate?" Chen Feng muttered.

    "The world will not be destroyed. So long as the Sin God remains alive, he will not allow this world to be destroyed. However, to generate the godly power of sin for him, the entire world will be filled with ughter and sin..." Qin Hai sighed. "Humanity shall enter the darkest of ages."

    "The darkest of ages?" Chen Feng muttered. He looked at the world before him, looking on as the humans, who had finally obtained peace after great difficulty, started killing each other again. Suddenly, he asked, "Spirit... do you trust me?"

    "Huh?" Without hesitation, Spirit replied, "Yes!"

    Chen Feng gazed at this world silently. "I will return again."

    "I will most definitely return! Before I return, I hope you can protect this world... At the very least, protect those you are capable of protecting. Allow those people a lifeline amid all this madness. That is all I ask of you."

    As Chen Feng spoke, a stone hovered out of his hand, flickering with the glow of the Luck Goddess.

    Spiritughed bitterly. "I don¡¯t know if I can do that." She had zero confidence, as the opponent this time was the Sin God, and this was a world within his body.

    "Therefore, allow her to assist you." Chen Feng¡¯s other hand stretched out, the Misfortune Pen hovering out of his hand.

    "I hope you can assist Spirit..."

    "She will help those that require help. As for you... Try your best to stop those damnable evildoers from bringing disaster to others, even if this is now a world of sin. My only hope is that when I return, this world will still exist. After all, in this world, there are still people with kindness in them."

    Hum¡ª

    The Misfortune Pen started glowing brightly.

    Spirit looked at Chen Feng solemnly. "I will be waiting for you."

    "Go!" Chen Feng shut his eyes slowly.

    Hum¡ª

    Noiselessly, the Fate Stone departed his body and the Misfortune Pen vanished. Two gods that had yet to fully recover slowly fused with the world. The faint radiance of their godly powers slowly dispersed, noiselessly influencing this world without being detected by the Sin God.

    Ka! Ka!

    It was at this time that the rotation of the world became slower and slower. Gradually, the bead settled within the Sin God¡¯s body. Slowly... slowly...

    With a loud boom.

    Bang!

    At the instant of the loud boom, Kong Bai grabbed Qin Hai and Chen Feng. "Now!"

    Swish!

    The three of them vanished. Instantly, the entire world trembled, and the Sin God¡¯s eyes shone brightly. When he opened his eyes, what he saw was an unending supply of godly power from the human world. As for that particr human? Chen Feng? What did he count as? All along, the Sin God had never been bothered about him. Even several thousand gods were nothing but bugs for him, let alone a mere mortal.

    For him, a single wave of his hand was sufficient to make the entire human world his. To be more precise, all the life-forms of the Gic Era were now his.

    "..."

    The Forest Goddess watched on silently. She wanted to ask about Chen Feng, as she was still worried about that fellow. However, as she looked at the radiant Sin God, suddenly, she had a feeling that inquiring about a weak mortal would in itself be an act of insult to the Sin God. Since everything was already a foregone conclusion, what was the point of asking about Chen Feng? He was but a mere mortal.

    Whoosh! Whoosh!

    Numerous gods appeared behind the Sin God. These were the final 100 surviving gods from earlier. Ultimately, they had not had the courage to battle the Sin God and had opted to submit to him. This would be the era of the Sin God.

    The Sin God waved his hand. "Go." The humans and ancients would belong to him alone. As for those unintelligent animals and mutated beasts, they were given as believers to the gods that had submitted to him.

    "Yes."

    The gods saluted him deferentially before leaving. They started traversing the whole world, reining in their believers.

    "Almost done," the Sin God said as he looked at the world below him.

    Bang!

    He waved his hand. The ground started trembling. With the humans and the Gic Era out of the way, this world now belonged to him alone. Within this world, too many gods were sealed, including those gods who had once battled for him.

    "Awaken..." he muttered.

    Bang!

    Countless divine beams surged out. Finally, this had once again returned to the Primordial Era, returning to the era of gods. As for the humans, ancients, and the other intelligent life-forms, they were all contained within the Sin God¡¯s eyes. They were still within their respective cities, which had seemingly not changed. They were killing each other, fighting constantly, generating an unending supply of the godly power of sin.

 Chapter 749: New Era

    Chapter 749: New Era

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Within a certain forest, numerous bizarre humanoid life-forms were wandering around. Just earlier, a ck streak had descended from the sky andnded somewhere, destroying a huge amount of their food in the process.

    "Be careful. We don¡¯t know what species that is..."

    The few humanoid creatures approached cautiously. They saw a figure lying on the ground. Around that figure was a crater, and the figure was pulsing with an extremely terrifying majestic aura.

    The humanoid creatures trembled.

    "This appearance... Is this a god?"

    The other creatures exchanged nces.

    "This must be a god!"

    "What should we do?"

    If this was some ordinary species, they would directly tie it up to be eaten. But from the looks of this and the faint trace of godly power, they were being told that this was a god. Even if this was the weakest of gods, a god was still not something they could contend against.

    "Br-bring him back."

    "In any case, weck a guardian god."

    "What if he harbors evil designs?"

    "Do we have any other options?"

    Everyone sank into silence at this question. This was an almighty god. Even if he was presently injured, the moment he woke up, he would definitely be able to figure out what had happened. If they did anything disrespectful, their entire tribe would have to suffer the wrath of a god.

    Soon, the god was carried back carefully. Theirs was a rather weak tribe, with a poption around one thousand. The god was ced in thergest building they had. Carefully, they attended to the god, awaiting his awakening.

    Every single day, there were some life-forms kneeling down and praying to this god. They believed that this god would most definitely be able to feel their sincerity. This continued on for a long time. One monthter, just as they were starting to believe that this god would forever remain in slumber, the god¡¯s hand moved lightly.

    "He woke up!"

    "This is too good!"

    ...

    At this time, Chen Feng was waking up from a long darkness. His memories were still paused at the final moment when Kong Bai had taken both him and Qin Hai and transmigrated, with the Luck Goddess blessing their transmigration with thest of her godly power. Everything after that, he knew nothing about. As for Kong Bai and Qin Hai, they had been separated during the chaos. Their present locations were unknown. Thatst vestige of the Luck Goddess¡¯s godly power had only been sufficient to assist them in a single transmigration.

    Where is this? Chen Feng started kneading his aching head before his gazended on numerous horrified expressions.

    Hum¡ª

    The power within him instantly converged. If not for theck of killing intent, he probably would have probably attacked directly. The years of tempering he had gone through had proven a great help in calming him down in such a situation.

    Shua! Shua!

    He swept his gaze through these people. With great speed, he analyzed what he was seeing. A building... Monkeys... No, people wearing clothing made of tree leaves... Chen Feng had a pensive look as he analyzed his surroundings.

    These creatures all knelt down in excitement when they saw him waking up.

    "Exalted lord god, you are finally awake."

    "God..."

    Chen Feng had a pensive look. In short, these creatures thought he was a god and had thus rescued him? Why was that? Oh, right, because of the lingering trace of the Luck Goddess¡¯s aura. Naturally, that aura had only been present during the transmigration. As for now, Chen Feng cast his senses inward and confirmed that the aura was no longer there.

    To protect the human world from destruction, Chen Feng had left the godly power of luck and misfortune there in hopes of leaving a lifeline. As of now, he was but amon mortal. Naturally, he could not let these people that had rescued him know this.

    Although they all appeared kind, Chen Feng was sure that the moment they found him useless, they would turn on him without hesitation. These people he was facing... seemed like humans yet not like humans... They seemed like monkeys yet not like monkeys...

    They seemed like a life-form that was half human and half monkey, that was capable of speech, that had knowledge of simple tools, that possessed great strength, and that had banded together, bing a single tribe. They were an intelligent life-form... that had mistaken Chen Feng for a god. That was because of the trace of godly power he¡¯d had on him when he had first arrived. They seemed to have an intense reverence toward gods and seemed incredibly receptive toward the idea of gods.

    What did this prove? This proved that he had arrived on a world where plenty of gods were around. What was this ce? Chen Feng was curious. He gazed at the sky. There, faint godly power could be sensed. The air of this world was pervaded with a familiar power.

    Chen Feng raised his head, and as he saw the power pervading the air, heughed, as there was no longer any need to guess. He could see for himself that in the sky was a huge shining figure: the figure of the Sin God, Ye. It turned out that he was still on a world ruled by Ye.

    "I am still on the human world?"

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart was filled with doubt. No, the entire human world had obviously transformed into the Sin God¡¯s eyeball. With the assistance of the Luck Goddess, they had definitely left the via transmigration. However, where had they transmigrated to? From the point in time when the Sin God had been birthed until the point in time when the entire world had been conquered by him, everything had been locked. Even Kong Bai had no hope of prating that timeline.

    If so... the only ce he could have reached was the future. That was the only ce they could have reached through transmigration.

    "What year is this?" Chen Feng asked calmly. This was a question he hade up with after confirming that it would not cast any suspicion on him.

    "Year 12 of the Sin calendar," one of the monkeys answered.

    Year 12...

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled. So he had transmigrated 12 years into the future? Since this ce was using the Sin calendar, this era was definitely ruled by the Sin God. Indeed, the moment the Sin God had returned, he had conquered the entire world. Chen Feng had thoroughly been defeated. With his weak self, he had stood against the gods and had finally sufferedplete defeat.

    In truth, regardless of who the enemy had been, his n had been correct. His idea of throwing all the gods away had been correct. The only reason he had been defeated was because he was too weak, so weak that the Sin God wasn¡¯t even bothered to do anything specifically to him.

    He smiled mockingly. "Should I rejoice in this?" He was sure that if the Sin God had paid any sort of attention to him, he would never have escaped. Even with Kong Bai¡¯s transmigration ability, it would still have been impossible. s, the Sin God had not cared. Because he was too weak, the humans were damned. Yet because he was a weak human, he had also survived. Howmentable.

    "Sin God..."

    Chen Feng gazed at the sky. There, the will unique to the Sin God rained down, pervading the entirety of this world. This was still the same, yet this was also a world where all intelligent life-forms, including the humans and the itself, had been conquered by the Sin God, a world that had once again returned to the Primordial Era. One could say that this was a different kind of Primordial Era, an era where all life-forms had gained intelligence.

    During the era of the Sin God, they had all awakened their intelligence. Nearly everyone was a citizen of the Sin God, even if some believed in different gods. Here, the Sin God was no different than the Creation God. This was 12 years after the Sin God fully conquered this world.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "Sin God, huh..." He had promised Spirit that he would most certainly return. The Luck Goddess and Misfortune Goddess were both propping up the entirety of that world in secret for him, leaving behind numerous lifelines. He had to return to that world as soon as possible.

    Ka!

    He clenched his fists as he vowed inwardly. Right at this instant, the ground trembled lightly. As the monkeys noticed this, an expression of delight appeared in their eyes.

    Bang! Bang!

    The earth trembled. A huge monkey appeared from the forest. This monkey was five meters tall. Carrying his prey, he slowly came to the entrance of the vige before suddenly stopping his steps.

    "Mhm?" His pair of huge golden eyesnded on Chen Feng, filled with killing intent. "Who are you?"

 Chapter 750: Godhood

    Chapter 750: Godhood

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "This is an unrecovered god," one monkey said.

    The huge monkey sneered. "God?" He was only at the peak of the awakened realm. However, he could still see that this weakling before him had absolutely no godly power about him. As for his close resemnce to the gods...

    "This must be an impersonator. Where is your godly power?" the huge monkey said with a sonorous voice.

    "Huh? A few days ago, he still had godly power."

    A few monkeys scratched their heads in confusion.

    The huge monkey snorted. "Hmph!"

    Bang!

    A formidable power started converging in his hands. This was a tribe known as the herculean apes. Each of them had formidable strength. They had awakened their intelligence along with the rise of the Sin God. Unfortunately, they had yet to obtain their very own guardian god. Without their own god, they could not resonate. And so long as they could not resonate, their tribe would forever unable to enter the resonance realm.

    As such, even though this huge monkey here was much stronger than other regr awakened ones, he was still stuck in the awakened realm. They of the herculean-apes bloodline had been searching for a god for a long time. s, in this era where too many gods were dead, they had failed to find a god willing to ept them. Even so, that did not signify that they were a tribe anyone could make a fool out of.

    "This is already the third scammer we have encountered this month, right?" The huge monkey was furious.

    Bang!

    His powerful attack started to descend.

    "Level 10 awakened!"

    Chen Feng sank into a solemn mood as he saw this attack. No, this was not merely a level 10 awakened. This fellow¡¯s strength had far surpassed a regr peak awakened one. He was several times more powerful than one, and with his terrifying strength, he was capable of delivering a crushing defeat to everyone in the awakened realm.

    Chen Feng¡¯s instinctive reaction was to unleash his ability. However, he kept that on hold.

    Peak... awakened realm?

    Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s eyes started to dart around.

    Bang!

    The peak-awakened attack mmed toward him. Lightly, Chen Feng held his hand out and pointed at the huge fist.

    Bang!

    A dreadful power surged out. Instantly, that huge monkey was sted somewhere 100 meters away, leaving behind a long mark on the ground from the drag. The sight was truly rather rming.

    "You..."

    The huge monkey dared not believe this. This weak monkey-like life-form before him had actually blocked his attack with a single finger? In truth, even Chen Feng himself was rmed. This feeling... Something seemed wrong. Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed at a certain realization.

    When the huge monkey¡¯s attack had reached him, Chen Feng had been able to sense how powerful the attack was. That was why he had counterattacked without hesitation. Never had he expected... Chen Feng¡¯s heart thumped rapidly. In the awakened realm, the maximum level was 10. So long as one reached level 10, one would be able to resonate with a godly power and enter the resonance realm.

    As for those without a god, like these monkeys here, they would be stuck in this realm forever. Even if this tribe of herculean apes had inborn godly power, they were still incapable of ascending into the resonance realm. Yet Chen Feng¡¯s attack earlier had been equivalent to the attack of a level 25 awakened, if such a level existed.

    "How is this possible?"

    Chen Feng felt doubtful. He was clear on his own strength. In fact, he was only at level 5 awakened. This was his current level. Even after the multiple huge battles he had participated in, he had only reached level 5 awakened. He had been relying too much on his godly power, resulting in the negligence of his awakened level.

    Even now, he had only unleashed his very own strength due to ack of godly power. However, why had he unleashed an attack with the might of a level 25 awakened while he was still a level 5 awakened?

    Chen Feng was confused. Apart from certain tribes with innate abilities, the strength of awakened ones was rather consistent in general. Level 10 awakened would generally be around 10 times stronger than level 1 awakened. Furthermore, this was the limit of the realm. The only reason this huge monkey was stronger than other level 10 awakened ones was because of the innate strength his tribe was born with. Thanks to that, he was able to unleash the might equivalent to a level 20 awakened. And yet, he had been instantly defeated by Chen Feng with a single finger.

    "Are... you... a real god?"

    The huge monkey was shaken. He had not sensed any godly power from the attack earlier. This showed that this life-form before him had merely used his own strength to casually point his finger and, with that finger, the huge monkey had nearly been killed. Such a feat was something even a resonator could not aplish, since the only superiority a resonator had over an awakened one was the godly power they had at their disposal. This fellow before them... was a god!

    "Nope." Chen Feng turned around and started to leave. Since his strength had recovered, he had no intention of being the leader of a bunch of monkeys. What he wanted to do now was ascertain the reason he was so powerful, then think of a way to rescue humanity from the eyeball of the Sin God.

    Left?

    The herculean apes watched his departure with disappointment.

    Suddenly, the huge monkey asked, "In that case... are you interested in ascending to godhood?"

    Bang!

    At this question, Chen Feng¡¯s heart shuddered. Godhood? He stopped his steps. From the huge monkey¡¯s solemn expression, he did not seem to be kidding around.

    Chen Feng concentrated his gaze as he asked, "You have a way to achieve that?"

    The huge monkey nodded resolutely. "Mhm." Shortly after, he paused and spoke solemnly. "To be precise, all life-forms are capable of ascension. However, the difficulty level is too high. I once attempted to do so. However, I failed. But if you were the one to attempt it..." The huge monkey¡¯s gaze burned.

    Oh?

    Chen Feng¡¯s curiosity was piqued. Thanks to the huge monkey¡¯s exnation, he finally gained true understanding of this new era. This was the era of the Sin God alone. After imprisoning the humans as a supply of godly power for himself, he had no longer had any misgivings and had directly transformed the entire world.

    The entire had been reverted back to the Primordial Era. Even the starry sky was no longer the same. This¡¯s sky was forever shrouded by the godly power of sin. The entire sky was blotted with dots of light. These dots of light were not as dazzling as the stars that once spread across this sky. However, each of these dots of light was akin to a seed waiting to be unearthed.

    These were the seeds of godhood! This was the handiwork of the Sin God. All the dead gods were hung in the sky, allowing all life-forms toprehend the power contained within. Anyone who gained godly power from theprehension would be able to reach godhood immediately.

    This was an era where anyone could be a god. During the Primordial Era, there had been numerous gods. The ones that had awakened during the Gic Era were less than even 10 percent of the total gods that had once existed. This small amount of gods had subsequently been tricked by Chen Feng into entering the alien world.

    Even with the Sin God waking gods up without stop, he had ultimately only managed to awaken a pitiful 3,000 gods. Moreover, these gods were the incredibly weak ones, those so weak that they had failed to awaken during the Gic Era. As such, theprehensive strength of this world was way too weak.

    That was what had led to the Sin God changing thews of the world, opening up the path of ascension. So long as one was strong enough, anyone could enter godhood, bing a god.

    "Godhood..."

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. He had a wondrous feeling. Even without the Luck Goddess helping him, everything had still progressed so smoothly. It was precisely due to him causing so many gods to fall with his scam that the Sin God had done this, as the gods had been weakened too greatly.

    This guy...

    Chen Feng had a pensive look.

    In the past, the Sin God had wanted to conquer the entire world. After his defeat at the hands of the Creation God, he had opted to create his own twin-horns world instead. However, that world had been too weak. As such, he had ultimately set his sights on this world. Ultimately, the entire world had been annexed. The world that the Creation God had used his own life to improve had been nothing but a gift to the Sin God.

    Was the present Sin God imitating the Creation God in his quest to make this world stronger? Nope. The only reason he was even trying to awaken these gods or to create more gods was because he could not fully operate this world by himself.

    In fact, this was quite simple. If the twin-horns world was a smallpany and the Sin God was the chairman, then the current Sin God was like someone who had suddenly been hired to be the chairman of a major internationalpany. Was he truly qualified for this new task? Could he truly perform satisfactorily?

    This was the problem the Sin God had encountered. His understanding of this world was far below the Creation God¡¯s. That coupled with the fall of so many gods had caused the Sin God to only barely be able to keep this world operational. Three thousand gods was far too low an amount to assist him in operating this world.

    As such, he required more gods. It would be even better if he could gather a hundred thousand gods, like the Creation God had done in the past. This would guarantee the perfect operation of his world. Only at that time would the Sin God be truly considered to have fully conquered this world.

    "Godhood, eh?"

    Chen Feng lifted his head. Suddenly, he had a feeling that the sky up there was infinitely close to him.

 Chapter 751: Fake Nascent Soul

    Chapter 751: Fake Nascent Soul

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Within the forest, Chen Feng was still trying to figure out the source of his increased strength. He did not believe that he his strength would increase for no apparent reason, even more so when the prowess he disyed did not conform to the level he was actually at. There seemed to be a problem somewhere.

    Bang!

    He punched out. A huge tree immediately copsed. As the huge monkey watched on from a distance, his heart trembled in fear. This tree was no normal tree; its roots were several dozen meters in length, and it had faint godly power. As such, this tree was iparably firm, yet this very tree had been crushed by Chen Feng with a single punch.

    "Twenty-five times..." he muttered inwardly. So long as he fully exerted himself, he could unleash a power around 25 times that of a level 1 awakened.

    This strength...

    He was still analyzing this newfound strength of his. There were 10 levels in the awakened realm. While in the resonance realm, one would begin to have ess to godly power, also simrly split to ten levels. Interestingly, though, by virtue of godly power alone, a mere level 1 resonator would be around a hundred times stronger than a level 1 awakened.

    In a situation where neither the disparity in talent nor the type of godly power was taken into consideration, the pure, raw power of a level 1 resonator would be a hundred times greater than that of a level 1 awakened. This was proof of how powerful godly power was.

    This was also why all resonators looked down on awakened ones. Without godly power, awakened ones were nothing but bugs. The maximum limit of the awakened realm was only level 10. Even the more talented ones would only be somewhat stronger. They would still be too far from a level 1 awakened. Yet here was Chen Feng, whose punch had unleashed a might equivalent to level 25 awakened.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng recalled something. "Thest time I tested it, my punch unleashed a might of a level 9 awakened."

    Back in the Gic Union, he had once tested hisbat prowess and had nearly destroyed the recement equipment the Gic Union had prepared for him. At that time, he had still been a level 3 awakened.

    Hold on... If as a level 3 awakened he could unleash the might of a level 9, and at level 5 he could unleash the might of a level 25... This seemed to be something that could be solved with math? To the power of two? Chen Feng found this inconceivable. So it turned out that his attacks would unleash a might equal to the square of whatever level he was? Why was that?

    Once again, Chen Feng punched out. At this moment, he could seemingly see the miniature person within him performing the same action. When he punched out, the miniature person punched out as well.

    Bang!

    Yet another tree copsed.

    "Is it because of you?" Finally, Chen Feng understood. His unique prowess was due to this miniature person within him. This was in fact another him, a Chen Feng that had been conceived by Luck Aura. If this miniature person could truly allow his attack to be amplified like so...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed as he thought of something. If, at level 5 awakened, he could unleash the might of a level 25 awakened, what if he was a level 10 awakened? Would he be able to defeat the level 1 resonators even without godly power? Would he be able to surmount the limit ced by godly power?

    He was overwhelmed with emotions as he realized this. Even in this era, gods were still very rare. One look at the herculean apes and theirck of a god even after so long was enough to ascertain this fact. Naturally, due to Chen Feng¡¯s unique identity, he was someone that would not be able to resonate with any gods.

    Therefore, he could only rely on himself. As for ascending to godhood, such a thing was still rather far away from him at present. From what the huge monkey had said, if one wanted to be a god, one would have to traverse numerous dangerous ces to obtain the seed of a god. To achieve that, one would require extraordinary strength.

    Therefore, this was not part of Chen Feng¡¯s considerations for now. At present, it would be more reliable to first increase his strength.

    Power of two...

    Chen Feng clenched his fists tightly, eager to test out his theory.

    "Are you truly not a god?" the huge monkey asked as tree after tree went down.

    "Nope," Chen Feng answered.

    The huge monkey smiled bitterly. "Fine." Truthfully, the idea of a mortal disying such a performance was much scarier than the idea of an unrecovered god doing the same.

    "Do you guys have anything one can use to increase one¡¯s strength?" Chen Feng paused slightly before continuing, "For example, drugs or medicine or anything like that? Since you guys are all awakened ones, you should have something like that, right?"

    "Yes, we do," the huge monkey said. However, after a slight pause, he added, "We used to."

    Chen Feng raised his brow."Oh?"

    "In this forest, there is a region inhabited by a certain species of fruit trees. The fruits of these trees were all nourished by godly power, and after consuming one, one¡¯s strength will increase. It is also a fruit all of us need to take at a certain point in our lives. However, this year, that territory was conquered by the Grasshorde Tribe. In fact, they are weaker than us. However, after bing the believers of a god, they obtained godly power. As such..."

    The mere thought of this caused the huge monkey to gnash his teeth in anger.

    "Is there any way to solve this?"

    The huge monkey looked at Chen Feng with anticipation. "Fight them!" In his opinion, with Chen Feng¡¯s formidable prowess, he was capable enough to lead them and regain the lost territory.

    "Mhm..." Chen Feng pondered shortly before saying, "I can¡¯t beat them."

    The huge monkey: "..."

    Chen Feng shrugged. "I am truly not their match." From what this huge monkey had said, the enemy seemed to have been a weakling in the past, with their topbat power being at around level 10 awakened. Naturally, with this monkey¡¯s battle prowess being equivalent to level 20 awakened, they had been too weak. However, now that they had entered the resonance realm, this monkey was no longer their opponent. So long as one had godly power, even a level 1 resonator would be a hundred times stronger than a level 1 awakened. How could he hope to defeat such an opponent?

    Chen Feng shook his head. "I might be able to defeat them sometime in the future, but not now. I have yet to fully recover my strength. For now, I still need to verify some things."

    "Is that why you require something capable of increasing your strength?" Finally, the huge monkey understood the reason for Chen Feng¡¯s question.

    "If it¡¯s only an increase in strength..." The huge monkey pondered before saying, "Will a temporary increase work? I know of something capable of providing a temporary boost in strength."

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "Yes, that will do."

    "All right. Please wait a moment." As he finished his words, the monkey left. Shortly after, he returned with a blue medicinal herb in his hand.

    "This is something that received the nourishment of godly power. After consuming it, one can obtain a temporary boost in strength," the monkey exined.

    "Excellent."

    After checking and confirming that this herb was fine, Chen Feng immediately took it.

    Bang!

    A powerful force erupted within him.

    Bang! Bang!

    A surging warm current provoked his body, causing his body to unleash an even stronger strength, pushing Chen Feng from level 5 awakened to level 6.

    Bang! Bang!

    The medicine was still in effect, pushing Chen Feng¡¯s strength onward. s, just as it was about to reach level 7, the medicinal effect started to weaken before slowly vanishing. At this moment, Chen Feng¡¯s strength started decreasing as well. If this continued, he would most probably revert back to level 5 awakened before long. This "temporary" was much shorter than he had imagined.

    If so, he would have to test it now. Without hesitation, he unleashed all the strength avable to him and punched out.

    Bang!

    A mighty force sted out. Chen Feng could clearly feel that, in a mysterious manner, the power both he and the miniature person were unleashing had somehow converged together, forming a perfect circle.

    Bang!

    His energy sted out, destroying a row of trees before him. The huge monkey watched on in horror. He could feel that at present, Chen Feng was much stronger than he had been before,pletely unlike the increase of one mere level. This... was equivalent to level 36 awakened! Chen Feng waspletely enthralled, as he had also confirmed that his conjecture was correct.

    Chapter 752: Revisiting the Old Profession

    It was now confirmed that his strength was really the square of his awakened level. He only needed to urge the miniature person within him to perform the same action as him and he would be able to unleash power surpassing his imagination. But then, what exactly was this?

    Chen Feng himself was unclear. He had once conducted a study of other awakened ones and had concluded that this was not something all awakened ones possess. However, what he was sure of was the fact that this miniature person was not an external power like luck or misfortune. Rather, this power was uniquely his.

    "Excellent."

    He was overwhelmed by emotions at this realization. He would have to think of how to increase his strength. As of now, his strength had already decreased from the temporary boost. What that huge monkey called "temporary" was truly excessively temporary, as it had onlysted three seconds.

    A true man, mused Chen Feng at the idea of three seconds being "temporary."

    By the side, the monkey was somewhat dumbstruck. He looked at the sole remaining herb in his hand before looking at the row of destroyed trees. Since when was this herb so powerful? He seemed to recall that this herb would only provide an increase of a single level?

    Why did it feel like this Chen Feng had obtained an increase of around 10 levels? He could not make sense of what he was looking at. This was like someone eating garlic chives in the hope of providing some nourishment to one¡¯s body, yet they obtained the effect of Viagra.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    The gaze with which the monkey was staring at him caused him to be somewhat dumbstruck.

    "This thing onlysts three seconds?" he asked as he grabbed the other herb from the monkey¡¯s hand.

    "Mhm." The monkey contemted shortly before gloomily saying, "If it was something good, it would have been taken by the Grasshorde Tribe as well..."

    Chen Feng chuckled. True. By now, he had a somewhat rough understanding of these two tribes. Both tribes were essentially monkeys, and they were always engaged in a struggle for resources due to their close proximity to each other. It was natural for them to be mortal enemies.

    "If you want to increase your strength, you have to destroy the Grasshorde Tribe." The monkey confidently continued, "The resources they have plundered from us will be sufficient for you to gain three levels."

    Three levels...

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes burned as he heard this. Three levels... would allow him to reach level 8 awakened. Eight to the power of two... Mhm... Chen Feng licked his lips in anticipation. s, before that, they would have to first deal with the chief of the Grasshorde Tribe, the level 1 resonator. Chen Feng cooled his head shortly after remembering this. The future was indeed beautiful. However, this all required that he first keep a low profile and grow.

    Chen Feng nced over at the huge monkey. "Don¡¯t keep urging me on. If I can defeat them, I will most certainly attack. However, you yourself are also clear on the strength of a level 1 resonator. That is a level that is even stronger than me."

    "Yeah," the huge monkey answered sadly. It seemed like this Chen Feng¡¯s strength was truly not sufficient to achieve that. Resonator... Godly power... Were they truly hopeless against one?

    He was clear that this time, with the resources plundered from them, those weaklings at the Grasshorde Tribe would be able to develop rapidly. As for them, their growth would be stunted. Slowly but surely, they would no longer be able to contend against the Grasshorde Tribe. Moreover, there was even a possibility that, after some time, they would be totally ughtered by the Grasshorde Tribe.

    As he thought of this, the huge monkey clenched his fists in indignation. By the side, Chen Feng was not bothered. Even if the herculean apes were in a bad position, he could not afford to listen to the huge monkey and go throw his life away. He had to first guarantee that he had sufficient strength before he could proceed.

    However...

    Chen Feng looked at the herb in his hand, deep in thought. In this era, a lot of things had obtained the nourishment of godly power. As such, they all contained unique power. This was why the awakened ones of this era were able to continue growing. The reason for this reaction of Chen Feng¡¯s wasn¡¯t the power of this herb. Rather, it was because this herb was extremely familiar.

    Chen Feng fixed his gaze on this herb. Even if it was glowing and pulsing with faint godly power, if these "special effects" were removed, wasn¡¯t this the blue-leafed grass? This was an herb Chen Feng had once used when he had first be a gene producer. In fact, this herb had been the main ingredient of a certain gene reagent capable of providing a small boost in one¡¯s strength, an herb that would be normally used by the weaker ones when they were still at their starting point.

    And now... Chen Feng¡¯s eyes went wide as he realized something. Level 1 awakened was in fact a rather unique realm. However, there was no doubt that, in this era of gods, the awakened realm was the starting point for everyone. As for this herb? It was evidently also aparatively weaker herb in this era.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart started pounding. If, during the gic era, this herb had been used to produce gene reagents that increased beginners¡¯ strength, what if this current herb, nourished by godly power, was used to produce a gene reagent? At this realization, Chen Feng¡¯s lips went dry in excitement. Blue-leafed grass! Gene production! At this moment, everything seemed to have be clear.

    Back then, the growth of gene production had been stunted the moment humanity had reached the awakened realm. It was through great effort that Chen Feng had opened up a new path to enable gene producers to keep growing. But what if the stunt had not been due to gene production in itself? What if the problem had in fact been the materials?

    What if those materials had all received the nourishment of godly power? Would they now prove useful for awakened ones? Chen Feng was extremely agitated. Gene production had always been his career. Even though he hadn¡¯t been involved much in the development of the subsequent new gene production breakthroughs, prior to that, he had mastered nearly all the forms in existence. Even without Luck Aura, he was still an undisputed grandmaster producer!

    "If so... bring it on!"

    Chen Feng was filled with expectation. The blue-leafed grass could be used with several supporting materials to produce a low-tier gene reagent. This gene reagent, known as the allida reagent, was capable of providing a temporary boost inbat strength to the user.

    As for the reagent¡¯s odd name, Chen Feng reasoned that perhaps the creator of this form had initially set off to create a different form and had ended up with a battle-type reagent instead.

    "Hopefully you won¡¯t disappoint."

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze became sharp. Next, he got the monkeys to gather all the herbs in the vicinity. Ultimately, he found sufficient herbs to serve as substitutes for thecking herbs in the original form. Moreover, using these materials, the produced reagent could be even better than the original version.

    Hum¡ª

    Chen Feng started gene production. Unexpectedly, though, he had only just gotten started, yet the surging power contained within the herbs had already caused him to despair. A huge amount of time had to be spent before he could finally suppress that terrifying power.

    "These materials..."

    Chen Feng took in a deep breath in shock. It was at this moment that he gained a clearer understanding of this era.

    Even if he was a grandmaster producer, he still had to exercise caution. This was not due to any mistakes he mightmit during the production process. Rather, he had to maintain control over these materials. Fortunately, the allida reagent was ultimately a rather weak reagent. Shortly after, Chen Feng was done with his production.

    The produced reagent was a glowing light-blue liquid that was presently cupped within a leaf. At this point, Chen Feng faced a new problem. This ce did not seem like a ce with any reagent bottles. As such, he could not even store the reagent he had produced.

    Chen Feng sighed. "Only leaves?"

    "Mhm," the monkey answered. "These are also the leaves we use to wipe our butts."

    Chen Feng was rendered speechless. "It has been hard on you guys."

    Forget it. He would first test the effects of the reagent. Without a reagent bottle, this reagent could not be preserved anyway. He might as well take it immediately.

    Gulp.

    Next, a zing source of power seemed to pour into his body.

    Bang!

    Instantly, a terrifying aura erupted. Awe-inspiring power erupted from Chen Feng. The berserk aura caused even the herculean apes around him to repeatedly fall back in rm. And then... nothing. The eruption suddenly stopped.

    "A fake drug?"

    Everyone was somewhat dumbfounded. No, that was not the case. The huge monkey studied Chen Feng and noted that although that berserk aura was gone, Chen Feng¡¯s strength was higher than before, even if not by much.

    Hum¡ª

    Chen Feng stretched his hand out and immersed himself in his newfound strength: level 10 awakened. That¡¯s right. In a split second, the allida reagent had granted him an increase of five levels. For those in the awakened realm, this reagent would enable the user to crush all opponents.

    Naturally, the effect might not be as pronounced for those that were already strong to begin with, such as the huge monkey. After all, he already had thebat power of a level 25 awakened. A five-level increase was but a quarter of his total strength. Yet for Chen Feng, his strength had been directly doubled. No, to be precise, his level had doubled. As for his actualbat power...

    Shua!

    His eyes gleamed coldly.

    Bang!

    He punched out without hesitation.

    Formidable power surged out. Within him, the miniature person did the same. Instantly, the power sted out.

    Bang!

    A terrifying power swept out, causing all the trees in front of him to shake violently. Around him, all the monkeys were startled. In all their life, they had never seen these sturdy trees shake...

    Shua! Shua!

    The trees shook violently. Shortly after, the shaking stopped.

    "Huh?"

    The huge monkey scratched his head in confusion. That was because, despite the violent shaking, the trees had not been destroyed. This... What was going on? All the other monkeys were simrly puzzled. One ought to know that, initially, Chen Feng had been able to st a tree apart with a single punch. Yet now, after consuming that weird liquid, he had merely massaged the trees instead of destroying them?

    As such, this liquid¡¯s function was to make one¡¯s attack look way cooler while reducing the might? This was the conclusion all the monkeys reached. Right at this moment, though, a cool breeze swept past the forest. Almost instantly, all the trees were reduced to ashes that dispersed in the air and waffled away along with that breeze.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    All the monkeys hissed in shock. As for the huge monkey, his eyes went wide. He was unable to believe what he was seeing.

    How powerful! The herculean apes were all startled by this disy of power. This liquid was actually capable of providing such a huge boost in strength? They all focused on the remaining blue liquid, their gazes burning. At this time, Chen Feng was inhaling deeply and immersing himself in the earlier feeling of strength. Level 1 resonance!

    That¡¯s right. The attack he had unleashed had reached level 1 resonance. However, the resonance realm was a realm for those with ess to godly power. For Chen Feng, it would be more apt to say that his attack had reached level 100 awakened. With the allida reagent, he had unleashed power equivalent to a level 100 awakened. How powerful!

    The huge monkey¡¯s gaze started to burn. "This thing... Let me give it a try." He gulped down the remaining liquid.

    Bang!

    Within him, a surge of power erupted, causing his blood to boil with excitement. He proceeded to deliver a punch to a random tree around him. The tree proceeded to shake for quite a while before finally falling down. Everyone was speechless when they saw this.

    "Only... this little?" The huge monkey was dumbstruck. This was not logical. Why had Chen Feng received such a huge boost while he had received such a little boost? Was he so weak that even that liquid could not prop him up? By the side, Chen Feng was maintaining his calm, as he was still immersed in the feeling of power within him, silently counting the time.

    One second...

    Two seconds...

    Three seconds...

    Still active! Chen Feng kept waiting. Five seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, one minute... Only at the third minute mark did his strength start to gradually decrease.

    "Three minutes!"

    Chen Feng waspleted shocked by this discovery. The huge monkey had also realized the same thing. Consuming the blue-leafed grass directly would only yield an active duration of three seconds. Yet after being transformed into this blue liquid by Chen Feng, the duration had increased to three minutes. It was better andsted longer now.

    This was too inconceivable. Something like this... was supposed to be a feat only aplishable by the gods, right? This Chen Feng fellow had been iming that he was not a god, yet here he was, doing things that only gods could do! Everyone stared at Chen Feng with burning gazes.

    "Don¡¯t worry."

    Chen Feng observed the huge monkey and waited until the huge monkey¡¯s active duration ended as well before concluding the details of this reagent.

    ----

    Name: Allida reagent.

    Function: Temporarily increase the user¡¯s strength by five awakened levels.

    Duration: Three minutes.

    ----

    "Sess."

    Chen Feng was filled with excitement.

    The sess of the allida reagent had provided Chen Feng with a pleasant surprise. Gene production was indeed still a feasible route in this era, even if his test had only been verified with a low-tier reagent. As he recalled his experience when producing the gene reagent earlier, he concluded that so long as he controlled the medicinal effect so that it did not explode, he would be able to produce any gene reagents he wished.

    One ought to remember that Chen Feng was a grandmaster producer, one who had mastered all production techniques and forms of that level. Three minutes. In fact, this duration had a deeper meaning to it. That was because, if the duration was only three seconds, it would probably end at the beginning of the fight. As for a duration of three minutes, it couldst the entirety of a battle. If one was fierce enough, three minutes would be more than enough time to deal with an enemy. This was a chance for them to deal with the Grasshorde Tribe.

    "What do you think?" Without realizing it, the huge monkey was bing more and more deferential when talking to Chen Feng.

    "Start gathering the same herbs for me. I will be producing," Chen Feng said.

    "All right."

    All the herculean apes were overjoyed to hear this. They started searching the forest frantically, and soon, a huge amount of blue-leafed grass and the subsidiary materials were delivered to Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng frowned. "There is still one issue: how to store the reagents. How do you guys normally store liquids?"

    "Stone jar," the huge monkey said as he brought Chen Feng to a certain basement. There, a huge stone jar was located. In it was stored their wine.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He required something easy to carry around, not something this huge. They couldn¡¯t carry a huge stone jar around when fighting the Grasshorde Tribe, right? That would be too ridiculous.

    Carry along...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s gazended on the copsed trees from earlier. At the point of incision of the trees, he could see the texture of the woods. They were glossy and sleek. He tried pouring some liquid within and found that not a single drop seeped out. Indeed, this was a tree that had grown under the nourishment of godly power.

    "Well, this is it, then," Chen Feng said with a p to his thigh. Even during the Gic Era, quite a number of wooden products had been manufactured. And thus the entire herculean apes started working busily. Chen Feng was in charge of producing gene reagents while all the monkeys formally entered the industrial era, starting to manufacture wooden products. To be precise, they were producing wooden bottles.

    The bottles produced were all square-shaped, could not store much, and appeared rather stupid. However, each bottle was sufficient to store a portion of liquid sufficient for consumption by a single person. This would be enough for now.

    After three days, a great number of gene reagents finished production and were sealed in the bottles. Each of the monkeys had a gene reagent hung on their waist. They were all iparably excited, as they knew that with this, they were now equipped to challenge the Grasshorde Tribe!

    "Do you guys know what we are going to do today?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Yes!" All the herculean apes were excited. "We will be taking our resources back!"

    "Excellent. Remember, within three minutes, finish everything," Chen Feng said coldly.

    All the monkeys were getting agitated. "Yes!"

    "Let us set off!" The huge monkey was in high spirits. "Chant our slogan as we march."

    "Plunder their resources! Beat their woman! Sleep with the young!" the herculean apes yelled at the top of their lungs.

    Chen Feng was somewhat dumbfounded. Something... seemed wrong with this slogan? He had heard simr slogans in the past. At times, these slogans seemed rather viinous, yet they served well to boost morale. However, the contents of this particr slogan seemed somewhat off?

    "Don¡¯t worry." The huge monkey looked at Chen Feng in reverence. "The prettiest of them will be reserved for you, exalted one."

    Chen Feng: "???"

    Sleep, your ass! Regardless of how beautiful they are, they are still monkeys, right? Moreover...

    "I thought it should be ¡¯sleep with the wives and beat the young¡¯?" Chen Feng asked curiously.

    The huge monkey nked at this suggestion. "Nope. Why would we want to sleep with their wives? Even if they are our archenemy, we cannot do such a thing! Exalted one, you..." He stole a cautious nce at Chen Feng. "So it turns out that you have such a fetish?"

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Fetish, my ass! What the hell are you monkeys thinking about?

    "It is right to sleep with the young, then?" Chen Feng asked with a dark expression.

    "That is only natural," the huge monkey answered happily. "Those young ones have yet to obtain a significant other. The Grasshorde Tribe has a higher female poption, while our tribe has a higher male poption. We are simply a perfect match. Therefore, even if the unmarried ones are still not fully grown into adulthood yet, we can still bring them back to raise them into brides when they grow up."

    Chen Feng heaved a sigh of relief. I see.

    "But... it is truly immoral to sleep with the wife of another." The huge monkey nced at Chen Feng cautiously. "If you truly have such a fetish, I know of two beautiful women who are now widows. I wonder if you are interested..."

    Chen Feng¡¯s expression darkened. "Scram!" What was going on in this fellow¡¯s brain?

    Soon, they reached the orchard. This had once been the territory of the herculean apes. As such, this ce was nearer to their ce. When they arrived, they saw that this orchard was presently guarded by a huge number of half-evolved monkeys. Chen Feng noted that, apart from the different fur color, these monkeys were in fact exactly the same as the herculean apes.

    "This is the Grasshorde Tribe," the huge monkey said in a low voice.

    "Mhm."

    Chen Feng gazed over from a distant mountain summit. There were not many people in the orchard. There were about five or six level 5 awakened ones patrolling about. The defense seemed rathercking, but Chen Feng could sense an austere aura in the air. With the orchard as the center, a whirlpool of austere aura was formed. Nevertheless, it did not matter, as their purpose here was to fight a battle of force.

    "Go!" Chen Feng ordered without hesitation.

    Shua!

    The herculean apes charged into the orchard.

    Whoosh! Whoosh!

    Suddenly, numerous huge figures appeared nearby. At the sight of these neers that lookedpletely different than the members of the Grasshorde Tribe, the huge monkey¡¯s face fell. "You guys have actually joined hands with a different tribe?"

 Chapter 754: Seize

    Chapter 754: Seize

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The huge monkey was truly furious with this development. They and the Grasshorde Tribe were enemies and had fur of different colors, yet they were still of the same race. Unexpectedly, they had actually joined hands with a different tribe. Did they not have godly power already? Did they not have a guardian god already? Why was there still a need to join hands with a foreign race? He truly could not understand this.

    Chen Feng merely nced over and did not say anything. In fact, something like this was extremely normal. This was simr to a civil war where one of the sides suddenly called in help from a different country. In Chen Feng¡¯s memories, something like this was quitemon. For instance, in his previous life, there had been foreigners in the national teams of certain sports, which had truly felt quite odd to him.

    A huge green-haired monkey sneered. "Haven¡¯t you found one as well?"

    "Him?" The huge monkey nced over at Chen Feng and snorted. "Hmph, he is merely a monkey who shaved all his fur due to a skin disease. That¡¯s all."

    Chen Feng: "..." What the f*ck? Is this how you monkey folks usuallymunicate with each other?

    He had never expected that even though he had been staying silent, he would still get unjustly ridiculed like this. At this time, as they approached each other, the surrounding monkeys could finally be seen clearly. The Grasshorde Tribe. The reason for them being called this was due to the green hair on their heads, which greatly resembled grass. That was the origin of their name. Furthermore, the piles of grass on their heads seemed to directly corrte with their strength and size.

    The stronger they were, the bigger they would be, and the lusher the grass on their head would be. Mhm... For instance, this huge green monkey¡¯s head was like a giant bush.

    The green monkey coldly said, "I knew you guys would not be able to take this lying down. Therefore, I have been waiting for you guys all along. Today will be the day that everything ends. The herculean apes shall forever disappear from this world."

    Shua!

    The figures started closing in on them. These neers had huge bodies and fierce faces, appearing rather vicious.

    "This is the Steelback Tribe," the huge monkey said to Chen Feng.

    The Steelback Tribe was a rather powerful tribe that was nearby. They had rough skin, thick flesh, and formidable strength. Their skin was covered in scales, and the strength of the average person in their tribe was level 6 awakened. This tribe was much stronger than the herculean apes, who only averaged level 3. Simrly, the Grasshorde Tribe averaged level 3 as well.

    "You are courting death," the huge monkey said with a cold gleam in his eyes. The one and only advantage the Grasshorde Tribe had over them was their resonator chief. As such, their tribe wasn¡¯t particrly powerful as a whole. However, their act of asking for help from the Steelback Tribe was no different than courting death. If the huge monkey¡¯s memory served right, this Steelback Tribe also had their own guardian god. Were these fellows stupid or something?

    "Hehe." The green monkey arrogantly said, "That won¡¯t be the case. We both believe in the same god."

    The same god!

    The huge monkey¡¯s heart thumped as he heard this.

    "Therefore, you can die in peace now."

    At the green monkey¡¯smand, the Steelback Tribe and the Grasshorde Tribe moved out at the same time. The huge monkey looked at Chen Feng, seeking his opinion.

    "Finish this within three minutes," Chen Feng said coldly. On average, the strength of a level 6 awakened? So what?

    Shua!

    All the herculean apes opened their bottle at the same time and gulped the reagents down.

    Bang!

    They erupted with a powerful aura. The herculean apes were rather weak, their tribe averaging level 3 awakened. However, with the allida reagent, they obtained a five-level increase, pushing their strength to a level one could not imagine.

    Bang! Bang!

    The herculean apes erupted in strength. Instantly, numerous monkeys were sted away. Even the Steelback Tribe was not a match. As the grasshorde monkeys saw this, they were stupefied. What was going on? The bush on the green monkey¡¯s head stood up as he stared in shock at what was unfolding before him. Since when had these herculean apes been so strong?

    "Damn it."

    He knew that he had to personally make a move now.

    "Even if you guys have be stronger by sheer luck..." His eyes gleamed coldly as he finished, "You guys are still not a match for godly power."

    Bang!

    His godly power poured out. The instant the godly power appeared, his body increased in size as he stepped onto the battlefield.

    Bang!

    The earth trembled with each step he took. Slowly but surely, the power of a resonator bloomed.

    "Die!"

    He punched at the huge monkey. Right at this instant, though, aparatively tiny figure appeared before him and punched out at his fist.

    Bang!

    A powerful surge of strength mmed into him.

    Even with his godly power, he was still pushed several meters backward. He raised his head and looked on in astonishment at the monkey with a skin disease, who was slowly retracting his hand. This fellow... The green monkey¡¯s face fell. A resonator? His expression became unsightly as he realized that this huge monkey had actually found an outside resonator to help. However, if this was indeed a resonator, why could he not feel any godly power?

    Was this a unique technique? Or perhaps... it was due to the blue liquid they had consumed earlier? Again! The green monkey attacked again, the bush on his head blooming as the intensity of his strength increased.

    Bang!

    Another punch, and once again, he was pushed back. Chen Feng¡¯s eruption to level 10 awakened had given him strength equivalent to a level 100 awakened, giving him the confidence to contend against a level 1 resonator. With pure strength, he faced godly power. In fact, one of the reasons Chen Feng had participated in this battle was so that he could verify hisbat power.

    Bang! Bang!

    The Grasshorde Tribe and the Steelback Tribe were utterly defeated. After all, the green ape had only recently gained godly power. As such, his usage of godly power was still rather crude. How could hepare against Chen Feng? Their strength seemed to be equal, yet he suffered defeat after defeat. Chen Feng did not even need three minutes to defeat him. A minute and a half into the fight, the green monkey was already thoroughly defeated.

    "I will definitely return!"

    The green monkey could feel that things were getting bad. With a miserable scream, he turned around and started fleeing immediately. As for his underlings, they started fleeing as well upon receiving hismand. This decisiveness with which they fled truly caused Chen Feng and the huge monkey to be somewhat dumbfounded. This was especially true for the way those fellows fled. They all dispersed in different directions, some even directly tunneling underground. What in the world?

    "Should we give chase?" the huge monkey asked.

    Chen Feng shook his head. "There is no need for that." By now, the duration of three minutes had ended. If they gave chase, that would be no different than suicide. If the green monkeys discovered their secret, they might be the ones to suffer defeat in the end.

    "Okay." The huge monkey understood. For now, this orchard was the only thing that mattered.

    Chen Feng took a look around the orchard. To bait the herculean apes into attacking, the green monkeys hadn¡¯t plundered much from this orchard. Most of the fruits were still hanging on the trees.

    "Let me pick one for you, exalted one," the huge monkey said emotionally.

    "Is this a fruit one can only eat once?" Chen Feng asked with a pensive look.

    "Not quite." The huge monkey nodded and exined, "However, only with the first consumption will the effect be more pronounced. With each subsequent consumptions, the effect will slowly decrease by half. In any case, even after eating a bunch of them, one can only obtain a boost of two levels.

    Chen Feng looked at him. "I thought you said three levels earlier?"

    "Hehe." The monkey scratched his head in an honest manner and said, "I was afraid that you wouldn¡¯t agree toe if I did not exaggerate the number."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Therefore, Chen Feng had to now focus on increasing the effectiveness of this fruit during the first consumption. In fact, the method of doing so was rtively simple. It could be aplished with something Chen Feng was extremely skilled in: gene production.

    After all, during the Gic Era, such one-time-use materials had been rathermon. As such, Chen Feng was able to easily find some suitable forms that were immediately ready to use after some minor adjustments. For Chen Feng, this wasn¡¯t hard. And next... what was left was to test the form.

    Chapter 755: Level 100 Awakened

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Producing and failing. These two were the most basic steps involved in gene production. After ten-odd failures, Chen Feng finally seeded in producing a bright-red liquid. From the look of it, this liquid seemed like it would have a better effect than consuming the fruit raw.

    "What is this fruit¡¯s name?"

    "Aphrodisiac fruit," the huge monkey said proudly. "I am the one who named this fruit."

    Chen Feng¡¯s face darkened. Aphrodisiac? How weak was this monkey, exactly, for him to be able to rte everything to libido? Chen Feng gave the monkey a dubious look.

    "I naturally do not need help in that department." The huge monkey pped his chest and continued, "But this fruit really does have such an effect to it as well."

    "..." Chen Feng understood after pondering the matter. Since this fruit was capable of boosting one¡¯s overall strength, naturally, everything about a person would be boosted, including their libido. That was only natural. However, the name...

    Chen Feng shook his head. "Forget it. Do you want to give this liquid a try?" he asked while pointing at the liquid.

    "I have already consumed the fruit in the past." The monkey appeared regretful.

    "How many did you consume?" Chen Feng asked. If the monkey hadn¡¯t consumed too many, perhaps he could still figure out the potency of this liquid through deduction.

    "Around 20 of them..." the huge monkey said after some thought.

    Chen Fengughed coldly upon hearing this. "Hehe." Was it not said that each of the herculean apes was only allowed to consume two or three of them? It seemed like this huge monkey had been one to abuse his position in the past.

    "Do you have anyone that has only consumed it twice?" Chen Feng asked as he waved his hand. Soon, a rather sturdy-looking herculean ape arrived.

    Chen Feng gave him a one-person portion of the liquid. "Here, give it a try."

    "All right."

    That herculean ape swallowed it down in a single gulp. Based on the effect of the fruit, on the forth consumption, one should only obtain around a quarter of the first consumption¡¯s effects.

    Bang!

    The liquid erupted with power within the monkey. Next, his body inted like a balloon shortly before deting. As this happened, formidable power started emanating from his body. As of this moment, he had reached level 5 awakened from his initial level 4 awakened.

    The huge monkey¡¯s eyes went wide.

    This fellow had clearly consumed the fruit in the past and had obtained an advancement of one and a half levels. And now his level had increased yet again?

    "Me... I want to try it out as well."

    The huge monkey gulped down the remaining liquid in excitement. Simrly, his body inted as well. Everyone¡¯s eyes went wide as they saw this. This worked as well? One ought to know that this huge monkey had, in the past, abused his power to eat the aphrodisiac fruit like it was candy, to the point that the fruit now had no effect on him. Yet even so, this liquid was working for him? Chen Feng had a pensive look as he watched on.

    "Here ites."

    The huge monkey looked at his inted belly in excitement. A certain clump of gas seemed to be fermenting within him, a clump that seemingly contained boundless power. He knew that this was the sign of advancement. It had been quite a while since he hadst had any advancement. Suddenly...

    Pooop!

    With a loud sound, that clump of gas vanished. Behind him, an old tree that was sturdier than average was instantly blown apart...

    Shua!

    Instantly, everyone sank into silence. The group of monkeys hurriedly looked in a different direction while the huge monkey¡¯s face flushed red in embarrassment.

    "..."

    Chen Feng watched on in silence. Mhm... This had to be something that would happen if the effect was weakened to the point that it could no longer provide any sort of advancement to the user. After all, the huge monkey had consumed too many of this fruit in the past. Even with the enhancement provided by this liquid, the effect was still not sufficient to bring about any change in the huge monkey¡¯s body, and the resulting power had no choice but to make an exit through the chrysanthemum.

    Mhm...

    That should be the case. Chen Feng exined all this with a serious expression. As the huge monkey heard this, his face darkened.

    "Gather several sets of the same materials," Chen Fengmanded. Next, the group of herculean apes dispersed to work.

    The huge monkey opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say. "I..."

    Chen Feng patted his shoulder. "Don¡¯t worry. Whose life is without an embarrassing moment or two? In fact, for this fruit to behave in such a manner after being consumed by you, from a scientific angle, this is nothing surprising."

    The huge monkey looked better after hearing this.

    "However, you should rejoice that you didn¡¯t eat anything before this," Chen Feng said with a faint smile on his face.

    Eaten?

    As the huge monkey thought about it, his face greened from shock. If he had eaten before that, the earlier implosion...

    He inhaled deeply in shock, suddenly feeling like everything was meaningless.

    Chen Feng ignored him. After the monkeys returned from gathering materials, he started producing once again. After several tests, he was able to once again increase the average strength of the herculean apes. The average had now been pushed from level 3 to level 5. Monkeys who had never consumed the fruit before obtained a direct advancement of three levels. This was only from a single consumption. If they consumed it several more times...

    The herculean apes were in a celebratory mood. Even those who had consumed the fruit in the past had advanced a single level. In the entire tribe, only the huge monkey was sitting by the side, sighing in sorrow. Abusing power wasn¡¯t something fun, after all...

    "Nearly there now."

    Chen Feng was very satisfied with the effect of this reagent.

    Bang!

    He gulped it down. Instantly, his strength rocketed up. From level 5 awakened, he advanced straight to level 8. Just as he had guessed, this reagent was capable of providing a boost of three levels. And thus, Chen Feng formally entered level 8 awakened.

    However, this is still not enough, Chen Feng thought with a cold look in his eyes. What he wanted was not this much.

    Gulp!

    He consumed yet another gene reagent.

    Bang!

    The medicinal power surged, once again pushing Chen Feng¡¯s strength forward. Just like the fruit, the effect of the second consumption was weakened. Even so, Chen Feng obtained an increase of a level and a half. With this, he reached mid¨Clevel 9 awakened.

    "Still not enough," he said after taking in a deep breath.

    Gulp.

    He consumed yet another gene reagent.

    Bang!

    The medicinal power erupted. With three reagents, the respective increases would be 3, 1.5, and, finally, 0.75, for a total increase of 5.25 levels. This was what Chen Feng wanted, to advance five levels through this reagent.

    Bang! Bang!

    His body was filled with power. When the effect of the reagent ended, Chen Feng was already at level 10 awakened. For a mortal, this would already be the peak of life. Chen Feng clenched his fists and immersed himself in the power contained within his body. In fact, this was a strength he had tasted earlier when he had used the temporary booster reagent. But this time, this effect was permanent. He was now so powerful that one couldn¡¯t easily measure his strength.

    With the miniature person within him, he would be able to unleash a might equivalent to a level 100 awakened. Thus, he would be able to contend against a level 1 resonator. This was what he would use as his foothold in this new era.

    "I want to be stronger. Even if I can¡¯t resonate, with my miniature person, I can still be stronger, strong enough to contend against resonators... or even stronger existences!"

    His gaze was sharp. He realized that so long as he continued bing stronger, a day woulde when he ascended into godhood himself. At that time, he would retrieve all he had lost.

    Hu¡ª

    He inhaled deeply and covered up his aura of a level 100 awakened. He was sure that even if he could unleash thebat power of a level 100, his actual level was still 10, quite far away from level 20. This was quite a unique era. With the nourishment of godly power, all the herbs had transformed, especially those capable of increasing one¡¯s strength. If all of these herbs were produced into gene reagents...

 Chapter 756: Hehehe

    Chapter 756: Hehehe

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    "Are there any other herbs around here that can increase one¡¯s strength?" Chen Feng asked.

    "Of course." The huge monkey grinned. "However, those do not belong to the herculean apes."

    Chen Feng smiled. "They don¡¯t now, but they might in the future."

    "Yes, yes." The huge monkey had a wide smile on his face as he heard this. He had not been able to participate in this strength increase and was somewhat sad. As such, the moment he heard that Chen Feng was looking for other resources, heughed in joy.

    "This orchard was ours in the first ce but was taken away. The truth is that the Grasshorde Tribe has their own resources as well..." the huge monkey said with a smile.

    "Splendid." Chen Feng rubbed his fist eagerly. Now that the average strength of the herculean apes had risen to level 5 from level 3, it was time for them to have some training in their newfound strength. Perhaps the grasshorde race would be of assistance? Hehe.

    ***

    At a certain location, the steelback king was watching on gloomily as his tribesmen were being carried back. A few days ago, he had heard that the Grasshorde Tribe had set a trap for the herculean apes. They had believed that this would be a lucrative and easy job. Unexpectedly, they had been thoroughly defeated in the very first encounter.

    The steelback king was furious. "So are these the so-called herculean apes that are so weak that they need to rely on aphrodisiac fruits?"

    The green monkey was still somewhat stupefied. "I... I have no idea either. Before this, they were indeed quite weak. I reckon their night activities have never been easy. But for some reason, all of them seemed to go crazy today."

    At this moment, the green monkey recalled the monkey with skin disease and the liquid they drank before the fight.

    "Oh, right. They definitely requested outside help," the green monkey said in anger. "That furless fellow!"

    "Hmph!" The steelback king snorted and stood up. Terrifying pressure emanated out from his body, making it difficult for the green monkey to even breathe. He was very clear about how terrifying the steelback king was. In the resonance realm, any sort of advancement was extremely hard.

    Since the strength of a resonator was rted to godly power, resonators had toprehend godly power without stop. Apart from training themselves, they had to cultivate godly power as well. This was the reason for the high difficulty in advancement. As for the steelback king, he was a level 2 resonator, one who surpassed the green monkey in every aspect.

    "Is this your excuse after causing the deaths of my tribesmen?" the steelback king questioned.

    The green monkey felt like crying. "No, no."

    Suddenly, the steelback king said, "I heard your Grasshorde Tribe has a certain fruit under your control..." In this era, for a tribe to grow, resources were a necessity. Therefore, nearly every tribe relied on certain resources to sustain their growth. In fact, most of the tribes would only settle down on a location after discovering resources there. That had been the case for the herculean apes and the Grasshorde Tribe.

    The green monkey¡¯s eyes went wide. "No, no way. That is the symbol of our tribe and the sole resource under our control. We will definitely not give it away, even in death!" The green monkey clenched his teeth and continued, "If you insist... I will have no choice but to contact Lord God."

    Contacting Lord God... Suddenly, the steelback king narrowed his eyes. They were both resonators of a certain god. As such, it was only natural that they were able to contact the god. Of course, the premise for all this was the god being willing to respond to the call in the first ce. After all, any single god would have countless resonators under their faith... Nevertheless, there was still a risk involved. The steelback king had no intention of provoking the anger of a god just because he was trying to extort some resources from the Grasshorde Tribe.

    "Don¡¯t worry," the steelback king said after some thought, "How about we share it? To be precise,pensate for the deaths of my tribesmen by allowing their kin to go once. How about this?"

    The green monkey had an unsightly expression. Compensation... to the dead... Since these people had all died for the Grasshorde Tribe, he truly couldn¡¯t think of a reason to reject this request.

    The green monkey clenched his teeth. "That is possible. However..."

    The steelback king waved his hand before the green monkey could even finish his words. "Haha, I knew you would agree to it, brother. Let¡¯s go." With that wave, numerous steelback tribesmen appeared and followed behind the king. From the looks of it, there seemed to be nearly a thousand of them. The steelback king had actually gotten the entirety of his tribe to join in on this.

    The green monkey was rmed. "No, this won¡¯t do. Only the kin of the dead can enter."

    The steelback king curled his lips. "These are all the kin of the dead. Introduce yourself."

    "Okay. I am his father," a certain steelback tribesman said as he pointed at a corpse with a broken leg. His face gloomy, he asked, "Can I go?"

    The green monkey nodded. "Yes." Since the son was dead, it was natural to allow the father entry.

    "I am his mother."

    "I am his uncle."

    "I am his second uncle."

    "I am his third uncle."

    ...

    "I am the wife of his father¡¯s younger brother."

    "I am the wife of his father¡¯s second younger brother."

    ...

    "I am his eldest brother."

    "I am his second elder brother."

    "I am his third elder brother."

    ...

    "I am his younger brother."

    "I am his second younger brother."

    "I am his third younger brother."

    ...

    "I am his eldest sister."

    "I am his second elder sister."

    "I am his third elder sister."

    ...

    "I am his younger sister."

    "I am his second younger sister."

    "I am his third younger sister."

    ...

    The green monkey shivered as he listened on. Just when he believed that it was finally over, another steelback tribesman appeared. The moment that person opened her mouth, the green monkey started to emotionally copse.

    "I am his wife."

    The appearance of this wife signified another round of introductions with the uncles of the wife, aunts of the wife, parents of the wife, siblings of the wife. Yet another bunch of people had appeared. This family totaled around 100 people.

    This...

    The green monkey was stupefied. So far, only the kin of a single dead had stood out. How could there be so many of them?

    The steelback king sneered. "We of the steelback tribe have great reproductive capabilities. What? Do you have something to say about that?"

    "No, nothing." The green monkey¡¯s face became unsightly, and the green fur on his head swayed around like seagrass.

    Yet another person stood out. "I am his illegitimate son."

    The green monkey was dumbfounded. This works?

    "I am his lover."

    "I am his illegitimate daughter."

    "I am the lover of his wife."

    "I am the wife of his illegitimate son."

    ...

    Yet another bunch of people stood out. The green monkey was somewhat stupefied. This... were these still kin? Hold on... Something seemed wrong. He looked at the wife¡¯s lover... What the hell, after screwing another¡¯s wife, he still dared to join in?

    "Scram!" the green monkey barked. "You are trying to join with such a distant rtionship? I can allow the illegitimate children to join. But what do you count as?"

    "Fine." That steelback tribesman left while muttering under his breath.

    "So this means that you agree with the rest of them?" The steelback king was rather pleased as he patted the green monkey¡¯s shoulder. "Worthy of being the Grasshorde Tribe indeed. You are filled with benevolence and righteousness toward our brothers who have fallen in battle. Only this will ensure that there will be people willing to render your tribe assistance in times of need."

    "Ah?" The green monkey nked before realizing that he had fallen for the steelback king¡¯s trick.

    "Come, continue the registration."

    And thus, the green monkey watched on with an unsightly expression as over 120 kin per dead stood out, all hoping to receivepensation.

    The green monkey trembled at the sight of this. That was because, during that battle, over 20 steelback tribesmen had been sacrificed. On top of that, there were also those who had been crippled, who also requiredpensation. The green monkey looked at the huge group of steelback tribesmen before him and despaired.

    "Come, the next family."

    By the side, the steelback king continued the registration. Finally, after an hour, the registration waspleted. Mhm... There were 21 dead, 12 with grave injuries, and 6 with light injuries.

    When all was done, the steelback king had, in a rather generous, fashion excluded the kin of the six lightly wounded ones from receivingpensation. Ultimately, a total of 3,625 people were qualified to join. The green monkey trembled. How... could there be so many of them? He had no answer to this question. However, this number did sound familiar to him.

    After pondering the matter, he recalled. Was this not the total poption of the steelback tribe? In short, everyst one of them had joined in?

    "You all..."

    The green monkey was furious. His fury was furtherpounded by the fact that the lover of the dead person¡¯s wife earlier had also been included in the final list.

    "On what basis have you obtained the qualification to join?" the green monkey asked.

    "Him, thed with a broken leg, is his lover," the steelback king exined.

    The green monkey nced over and asked, "But they are both males..."

    The steelback king sighed. "There¡¯s no helping it. Nowadays, we have to be politically correct. Hence, we can¡¯t discriminate against same-sex rtionships."

    "..."

    The green monkey trembled in fury. He knew that he had been thoroughly tricked.

    "What? Do you have something to say about that?" The huge steelback king stood behind him, and his huge handnded on the green monkey¡¯s shoulder. "Brother,pensating the dead is reasoning even Lord God will agree with."

    "..." The green monkey clenched his teeth, as he had no choice but to concede. "Only this one time."

    The steelback king shed a wide smile. "That is only natural." He believed that with his 3,000-plus tribesmen, they would be able to exhaust the supply the Grasshorde Tribe had umted over the years.

 Chapter 757: Level 2 Resonance

    Chapter 757: Level 2 Resonance

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In the forest, the Steelback Tribe had just reached the Grasshorde Tribe¡¯s territory. In the orchard, they saw the sparkling and translucent fruits. Just as they were about to start plucking those fruits, a terrifying killing intent descended. Numerous familiar figures appeared.

    "It¡¯s you people again!" The green monkey was furious at what he saw, his mortal enemies, the herculean apes.

    "You guys dare attack us directly?" He was beyond furious. His previous defeat had been due to theirck of preparation and the distance of that orchard, which was nearer to the herculean apes¡¯ territory. Yet now, these fellows dared attack them in their own territory? Were they feeling suicidal or something? They were even attacking when both the Steelback Tribe and the Grasshorde Tribe were here.

    The steelback king patted the green monkey¡¯s shoulder. "Brother, looks like you are going to owe me yet another favor."

    Instantly, the green monkey¡¯s hands trembled. Could it be that... the Grasshorde Orchard would never be able to escape this fellow?

    "Of course, we of the Steelback Tribe are loyal to our friends." The steelback king waved his hand. "However, if you do not want us to interfere, I guarantee that we will definitely not get involved in this. We will leave directly after plucking the fruits and will not participate in the war between you monkeys."

    ...

    The green monkey sank into silence as he once again recalled that young furless monkey and the liquid they had used. Could he truly deal with them alone?

    "Please help," the green monkey said after taking a deep breath. "I will allow you guys entry one more time next year."

    "Excellent." The steelback king was greatly pleased. Even if they were only allowed one entry per year, he was sure that this single entry would be sufficient for them to clean out an entire year¡¯s worth of supply from the monkeys. In fact, even the green monkey was aware of this. However, he had no other choice. Rather than totally losing this Grasshorde Orchard, he would prefer to sacrifice a year¡¯s worth of supplies and get rid of these herculean apes once and for all.

    "However, I have a condition," the green monkey said coldly. "We must absolutely not allow them to escape."

    "Fear not," the steelback king said with a vicious expression. "Do you think I will let them off when they have killed my tribesmen? Even if you wanted to let them off, I would still kill them all. Haha. After all... after killing them, their Aphrodisiac Orchard will be mine." The steelback king howled withughter.

    Tricked again!

    The green monkey realized that since the steelback king coveted the herculean apes¡¯ Aphrodisiac Orchard, he was going to participate in this battle regardless. How could he have forgotten this? Once again, he had been tricked. Not far away, Chen Feng and the huge monkey merely watched on coldly as the herculean apes surrounded the area. The herculean apes were greater in number than either of the two tribes they were facing, as they had around 5,000 monkeys in their ranks. However, this amount was still lower than the total of the Grasshorde and Steelback Tribes.

    "What gives you the nerve to thin out and surround us instead?" the green monkey said gloomily. He was now of a mind to vent all his anger on these herculean apes.

    The herculean apes had an average strength of level 3 awakened. Even in the previous battle, when they had consumed that mysterious liquid, their average strength had only reached level 8 awakened. However, they stillcked godly power. As such, in this confrontation, the only possible conclusion for them was death. That was because both he and the steelback king were both resonators.

    That furless bastard¡¯s strength was simr to his, merely slightly stronger. However, so what? Nobody else in their tribe was capable of facing a resonator. As for this steelback king, he was even stronger.

    "Steelback king..." Even the huge monkey tensed up as he saw the steelback king here. He was aware of how terrifying this fellow was. All of the tribes in this area would normally scramble to get out of the way at the mere sight of this steelback king. This fellow had been in the resonance realm for quite a while and was already a level 2 resonator. He was more than capable of delivering them a crushing defeat.

    Chen Feng looked at the steelback king and said, "Let me deal with him. You guys deal with those green monkeys. Can you do it?"

    Green monkeys...

    The huge monkey smiled bitterly. He wanted to say that even the green monkeys had a resonator in their midst, so he was not confident he could win. After all, a level 1 resonator was equivalent to a level 100 awakened! How could he hope to defeat such an opponent? However, after remembering their n, he took in a deep breath and decided to throw caution to the wind.

    Bang! Bang!

    The ground trembled as the huge steelback king stepped out.

    The steelback king spoke coldly. "I heard you are the troublemaking furless monkey? For killing my tribesmen, you shall pay with your life."

    Bang!

    He erupted with strength. A huge fist pulsing with godly power descended. This was the fist of a level 2 resonator, equivalent to a level 200 awakened. This was a power the herculean apes could only look up to. They watched on as that terrifying strength descended upon Chen Feng. All of them trembled. Such strength...

    Chen Feng consumed a gene reagent.

    Gulp.

    His body erupted with power.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. Now!

    He leaped up and swung his tiny fist toward the steelback king¡¯s fist.

    Bang!

    A loud boom resounded. Instantly, the huge steelback king was flung away and smashed into the ground, creating a huge crater. All the onlookers were dumbstruck.

    This... this...

    Dust filled the air. Amid the dust, the tiny figure of Chen Feng appeared so very awe inspiring. This was especially true since he had defeated an opponent so much bigger than him. How could this...

    Bang!

    The steelback king crawled out of the crater as all his scales started vibrating. He did not seemed to have sustained any injuries, but his expression when looking at Chen Feng became solemn. "I never expected that you were also a level 2 resonator."

    Chen Feng merelyughed. "Hehe." A level 2 resonator... No, he instead was a level 200 awakened.

    To be precise, he was presently a level 225 awakened. With the reagent, he had temporarily been boosted to level 15 awakened, and with the amplification effect of the miniature person within him, he reached level 225 awakened. This was his present strength. The allida reagent had indeed helped him disy an astonishing level of strength.

    "Holy shit!"

    The huge monkey¡¯s mouth went wide as he saw this. He had known that Chen Feng was strong. He also knew that this strength was thanks to that liquid. However, when he himself consumed the liquid, his strength was only boosted by around 5 levels. How could there be such a disparity? The huge monkey started doubting himself, doubting whether he was truly capable of absorbing any nutrients.

    Bang!

    The steelback king attacked once again. Even if Chen Feng was stronger, the innate scales and the body the steelback king was blessed with allowed him a higher endurance. As such, the battle between the two of them would probably not end any time soon.

    "Green monkey, you will have to deal with the rest," the steelback king said. He knew that victory was certain. He only needed to continue enduring the attacks of this furless monkey while the green monkey killed off all the herculean apes. At that time, the strength of this furless monkey would not matter anymore, since he would be all alone.

    "Understood." The green monkey had a vicious look on his face. He had been waiting far too long for this moment.

    Bang!

    "Huge monkey," he called out with a sneer, "time to settle our differences."

    The huge monkey smiled. "You truly wish for this? Did you not notice what¡¯s going on around you?"

    The green monkey nked. What? He turned around, and his entire body instantly chilled as he saw the herculean apes beating up both the grasshorde and steelback tribesmen. Moreover, this was a crushing victory, even with their lower numbers. The herculean apes only numbered around 5,000, whereas both their tribes together numbered around 7,000. Despite that...

    Bang! Bang!

    They continued suffering a huge number of casualties. The green monkey looked around and noticed that the Herculean Ape Tribe, which he had previously estimate to be only level 8 awakened at most, was nowprised of level 10 awakened ones. Level 10 awakened, the peak of life below godly power. That¡¯s right. All 5,000 of the herculean apes were presently at level 10 awakened.

    How was that even possible? The green monkey¡¯s face greened in shock.

    Both the steelback and grasshorde tribesmen were suffering heavy casualties.

    "Make a guess. Before you kill me, will all your tribesmen die first?" The huge monkeyughed viciously. Although his overallbat power was no match for this green monkey¡¯s, he was confident in his endurance. Therefore, bring it on! He had no fear. Even as they conversed, some herculean apes had already finished with their respective opponents and were heading over to help him against the green monkey, greatly rming the green monkey.

    Was a level 1 resonator strong? Yes. However, when said resonator had to face over 1,000 level 10 awakened ones... could he still stand tall?

 Chapter 758: Charge

    Chapter 758: Charge

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    More and more herculean apes charged over. The green monkey trembled all over. He was sure that he would be able to kill a lot of them. However, he was even more sure that he did not have sufficient godly power to kill all 5,000 of them, what with all of them being peak awakened ones.

    "Come at me, bro,e!" the huge monkey said as he flipped his middle finger at the green monkey. The green monkey¡¯s eyes greened from anger and his blood started to surge. He knew that the huge monkey was trying to provoke him into attacking. However, he was truly helpless against this provocation. He knew that if he continued fighting, he would surely die.

    He was smart enough to realize that. The steelback king was evenly matched against the furless monkey, whereas he would still have a slight superiority even when fighting the huge monkey and this group of herculean apes. However, the other herculean apes were wiping the floor with the other steelback and grasshorde tribesmen. The moment they were done... The mere thought of what would happen caused him to shudder in fear. In a fight like this, the moment one party was put at a disadvantage, it could very well snowball into an eventual crushing defeat.

    Suddenly, the green monkey realized the reason for all this. "That thing they consumed..." He knew that they would only have a hope of victory if they had a way of dealing with that thing.

    Suddenly, he told the steelback king, "Retreat!"

    Shua!

    He started retreating rapidly with his fellow tribesmen.

    "Trash!" the steelback king cursed. However, since the green monkeys could even abandon their own territory, what could he do? And thus, the Steelback Tribe also retreated rapidly. Just like that, this war ended with their retreat. Chen Feng and the huge monkey exchanged nces. This battle... seemed much easier than they had imagined? After all, prior to their arrival, they had been prepared for a fight to the death.

    "Should we give chase?" the huge monkey asked.

    "What do you think?" grumbled Chen Feng.

    "Fine." The huge monkey understood what he meant. As he looked at the Grasshorde Orchard before him, his eyes went red from excitement. Finally... finally, they had obtained this ce! At the same time, in the Steelback Tribe¡¯s territory, the defeated army of the Steelback and Grasshorde Tribes appeared.

    "Why did you retreat?" the steelback king asked coldly. They had obviously had a chance at victory.

    "Don¡¯t you feel that the liquid they consumed before the battle is rather suspicious?" the green monkey said after a moment¡¯s thought.

    The steelback king¡¯s curiosity was piqued. "Oh?"

    "Based on my observation, the liquid they consumed was capable of increasing their strength by several levels. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to reach peak awakened realm. Don¡¯t forget that before this, those trash merely averaged around level 3, near the bottom of the realm. Yet now they are all so powerful. There¡¯s also that furless bastard..." The green monkey gnashed his teeth. "Even in the prior encounter, he was only slightly stronger than me."

    The steelback king had a pensive look. "An increase of several levels?"

    "I am sure of that," the green monkey said. "There surely is a limitation to such a powerful item. Do you remember the blue-leafed grass they used to use? Is that not something with a simr effect? It merely has a lower duration, just three seconds, and is not so powerful. This new liquid they obtained is most definitely much more powerful. Therefore, I believe that..." The green monkey licked his lip in greed and continued, "...So long as we figure out exactly what that thing is... Hehe..."

    The steelback king was extremely satisfied with this news he had received. His heart ached at the deaths of his tribesmen. However, if he could easily defeat them...

    ...

    At this time, Chen Feng was still at the orchard and was unaware that the defeated enemies were conspiring against him. He and the huge monkey were gazing at the fruits here in greed.

    ----

    Grasshorde Fruit

    Function: Weak increase in strength.

    ----

    This was what the Grasshorde Tribe had relied on for their survival. Different from the fruit of the herculean apes, this grasshorde fruit could only be used once. Moreover, the amount of improvement was based on the strength of whoever consumed it rather than a fixed amount. On average, though, a level 1 awakened would be able to reach level 3 by consuming this fruit.

    "Very good."

    Chen Feng started his tests immediately. He was sure that the green monkeys and the steelbacks would not take this lying down. Therefore, he had to increase his strength as soon as possible. Since they had so many grasshorde fruits here, he would be able to freely conduct his tests.

    The herculean apes started gathering materials frantically for him. And next, the production began. Chen Feng was already extremely practiced in everything pertaining to gene production. Material gathering, production, failure, material gathering, production, failure, and so on. The herculean apes were split into several groups, all responsible for gathering materials for Chen Feng. As for Chen Feng, he focused on continuous production. After numerous failures, he finally seeded.

    ----

    Grasshorde Green Reagent

    Function: Increase the strength of an awakened one.

    Limitation: Only usable once.

    ----

    "Try it out?"

    Chen Feng gave the eager huge monkey the privilege of being the first one to consume this reagent.

    Gulp.

    He consumed it without the slightest hesitation.

    Bang!

    He started shining with an intense radiance.

    The body of the huge monkey, which had been stunted, for so long suddenly ignited with an intense aura. Both his eyes became bright red as a unique aura pulsed within his body. His strength, at level 20 awakened, started increasing, reaching level 21, then 22, and finally 23.

    Sess!

    The huge monkey was overjoyed. Three levels of improvement! He had actually gained an increase of three levels! A regr grasshorde fruit would probably grant a level or two of increase. Only the extremely talented ones of the Grasshorde Tribe would be able to obtain an increase of three levels. Even within the inner circle of the Grasshorde Tribe, those capable of a three-level increase would beuded as absolute geniuses. Yet he, an outsider, had reached this level!

    This was truly inconceivable. In fact, he had not had much hope at the start and had merely been hoping for an increase of a single level. Yet now... Naturally, this huge improvement definitely had something to do with the reagent produced by Chen Feng. This fellow, even if he was not a god, he was surely an absolute genius. The huge monkey was sure of this.

    As the other monkeys saw this, they all started to consume their gene reagents as well. Initially, they were simr to the huge monkey¡ªthey had merely hoped for an increase of a level or two. Moreover, it wasn¡¯t so long ago that they had all obtained an increase in strength. As such, they did not expect to have another major increase so soon.

    Gulp! Gulp!

    Surprising all of them, most of them were able to obtain an increase of two levels!

    "Howl!"

    "Howl!"

    They started jumping around, howling in excitement. How long had it been since they hadst had a major improvement in strength? So soon after, they had obtained yet another major improvement? The average strength of their tribe had, from the initial level 3, increased to level 5, and now they averaged level 7. That was an increase of four levels, surpassing even the Steelback Tribe.

    Even scarier was the fact that each of them could clearly feel that this source of strength within them was extremely stable and powerful, leaving no bacsh whatsoever, unlike some other strength-boosting items.

    One ought to know that what people feared most when their strength increased drastically was the very foundations of their cultivation bing unstable. Yet here, using the reagent produced by Chen Feng, this was nonexistent.

    Chen Feng did not look surprised at all about this. What kind of joke was that? After all, the act of gene production was in fact an act of boosting the medicinal effect of herbs, as well as the stability of the newfound strength. The difference between gene production and the consumption of raw materials was as wide as the heavens and earth. Without a doubt, gene production was not unlike a super-advanced technology in this new era.

    "My turn."

    Chen Feng prepared to consume the gene reagent as well. Based on the effect on these monkeys, he already had a rough estimate of the amount of improvement he would obtain.

    This reagent was indeed one whose effect depended on the one consuming it. Among the several thousand herculean apes, a vast majority of them had gained an increase of two levels, with only a few of them obtaining an increase of one level. These were mostly those who were either too weak or young.

    As for the group of monkeys that had already been strong, they had all obtained an increase of three levels, not much different than the huge monkey. As such, this reagent had preserved the effects of the fruit itself, granting improvement in ordance to the one consuming it.

    Mhm...

    Perhaps he would only be able to obtain an increase of two levels. This was a conclusion he had reached after observing these monkeys. However, for Chen Feng, two levels would make an extremely huge difference. At present, he was at level 10 and was able to unleash the strength of a level 100. If he reached level 12, he would be able to unleash the strength of a level 144! The actual increase he would obtain was 44 levels.

    However, he was still somewhat dissatisfied with this. After all, even that huge monkey had obtained an increase of three levels. Must he resign himself to only two levels? Hold on... the strength of the one consuming...

    Chen Feng called a random monkey over. "You,e. Consume the allida reagent first before consuming the grasshorde reagent."

    Shua!

    Everyone¡¯s eyes shone as they heard this. Yes, since the effect depended on one¡¯s strength, what if...

    Gulp.

    That monkey consumed the reagent without hesitation. His strength rocketed and his aura surged. The two reagents were seemingly working together, but ultimately, the monkey obtained an increase of two levels. The effect of the allida reagent was rather obvious. However, it ultimately failed to change the boost the grasshorde fruit provided. From this, it was obvious that temporary strength would not be taken into consideration.

    "Seems like it won¡¯t work," Chen Feng muttered. Well, since the allida reagent wouldn¡¯t help, it was time to...

    Bang!

    The aura within him shook slightly. Next, he took out the reagent and gulped it down. Around him, the monkeys stared on, waiting to see the amount of improvement Chen Feng would obtain.

 Chapter 759: What Kind of Strength Is This?

    Chapter 759: What Kind of Strength Is This?

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Bang! Bang!

    Layers of aura rippled out. Without realizing it himself, the miniature person within Chen Feng synced with him. This was not a sync during an attack. Rather, this was aplete sync, even including this action of consuming the gene reagent. As of this moment, Chen Feng had a feeling that he was no longer the same. This was his very first time syncing with the miniature person out of battle.

    Shua! Shua!

    The energy level within Chen Feng¡¯s body dropped at a rapid rate. Each sync with the miniature person exhausted him greatly. However, Chen Feng did not care about this as he continued to slowly guide the miniature person. As for his physical body, it started operating as well, slowly digesting the medicinal powder.

    After a long time, just as Chen Feng was about to be fully out of energy, forcing the miniature person toe to a halt, the medicinal power was finally fully digested.

    Shua!

    Theyers of aura vanished. As for the monkeys around him, all their eyes went wide, as just a moment ago, the aura surging out of Chen Feng had been at a level that caused them all to feel terrified, so formidable that it caused them to choke.

    The huge monkey was filled with expectation. "How much have you improved?"

    "Hu¡ª"

    Chen Feng let out a long breath as his consciousness focused back on his physical body. At present, he was a level 15 awakened. That¡¯s right. He had obtained an increase of five levels from the reagent. By fully syncing with the miniature person while digesting the medicinal power, his strength level had been maintained at level 100 awakened during the digestion. Ultimately, this had allowed him to surpass the huge monkey and gain five levels.

    It seemed like this method of increasing one¡¯s strength would grow harder as time went by. Chen Feng understood this clearly. Those at around level 6 would obtain an increase of two levels, those at around level 17, 18, or even 20 would obtain an increase of three levels. Yet he, despite holding steady at level 100 earlier, had only been able to gain five levels. The difficulty level for further improving the effect was totally ridiculous. Chen Feng shook his head at the thought of the possibility of obtaining a six levels increase.

    The huge monkey waspletely rmed and started stuttering. "F-five levels? Holy shit." He had known that Chen Feng was stronger than him. As such, he had expected Chen Feng to improve more than him, but five levels... How much stronger than him was this guy? And look at what this guy was doing, shaking his head in dissatisfaction?

    The huge monkey was filled with grief as hepared himself to Chen Feng. Apart from him, the other herculean apes were incredibly shocked as well. Fortunately, they had all gotten used to Chen Feng¡¯s prowess and weren¡¯t too badly affected. Rather, all of them were happy for him. The stronger Chen Feng was, the stronger their tribe would be.

    "Let us continue so the tribesmen that have yet to use the liquid can use it as well," Chen Feng said.

    "Okay."

    The herculean apes continued gathering materials.

    After familiarizing himself with this form, Chen Feng decided to directly throw all the materials into a big cauldron and start arge-scale gene production. Otherwise, he would tire himself to death producing genes one by one for these monkeys.

    In the ground, a huge crater could be seen. Contained within was a certain shiny and translucent liquid. By the side, Chen Feng was supervising the huge monkey as he stirred the liquid with a huge branch. As for Chen Feng himself, he focused on altering the genes of these materials in his digitized world. For the present him, this process was quite easy.

    Soon, the production waspleted. And with that, the entirety of the herculean ape tribe obtained yet another boost in strength. Right about this time, something surprising happened. The Steelback and Grasshorde Tribes actually arrived. With great fanfare, they charged in, seemingly filled with confidence.

    The huge monkey was bbergasted. "You guys actually have the gall to stille at us?"

    "Hmph!"

    The Steelback Tribe did not bother saying anything and immediately attacked with full power.

    "They arrived just in time." Chen Feng sank into thought. Since they had just improved their strength, they needed to temper this new strength. The present average level of the herculean apes had already surpassed the average of the Steelback Tribe by a single level, even before using the allida reagent.

    "Don¡¯t use the liquid for now. Fight with your existing strength."

    Bang!

    The fight began. However, before long, both of the attacking tribes retreated.

    The huge monkey: "???"

    What were they thinking? All of them were stupefied. This time, the herculean apes had not used any liquid to boost theirbat power. As such, both sides had been quite evenly matched in the battle earlier. One could even say that the herculean apes had been at a slight disadvantaged. Yet even so, the two tribes had opted to retreat? Even Chen Feng could not make sense of this.

    "Left just like that?"

    "Are they here for a walk?"

    "Did they hit their heads or something?"

    "..."

    "Well, just stay on alert." That was the only thing Chen Feng could say. However, after a few short minutes, the ground started trembling. Next, numerous steelback and grasshorde tribesmen appeared, and with great fanfare, they attacked yet again.

    "Go!" the huge monkey shouted as he gnashed his teeth. And yet, three minutes into the fight, the Steelback Tribe retreated once again.

    The huge monkey: "???"

    They looked at the ground littered with the steelback and grasshorde tribesmen¡¯s corpses. Had these fellows really hit their heads somewhere? One ought to know that despite the slight disadvantage they¡¯d had during the battle, each of the herculean apes had a bottle of allida reagent on them. Whenever became dangerous, they would use those bottles. As such, the herculean apes had not suffered any losses from the two skirmishes. Rather, the Steelback and Grasshorde Tribes were the ones who kept suffering casualties without stop. What exactly were they thinking?

    "Pay more attention and be careful," Chen Feng said.

    "All right." The huge monkey increased his vignce. Shortly afterward, the enemies returned. Two times, three times, four times...

    The huge monkey frowned. "I feel like something isn¡¯t right."

    The sense of pressure brought by the attacking enemies was increasing, as the huge monkey believed that they would note forward and throw their lives away for no apparent reason. There had to be a trick somewhere.

    "Then end the battle speedily." Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Let me deal with the two resonators."

    "Okay," the huge monkey answered.

    "This time... do not allow them to flee."

    "Understood."

    This time, the herculean apes hid themselves. When the two enemy tribes arrived, the herculean apes immediately used their reagents. Instantly, their strength rocketed and the battle began.

    The steelback king ordered a retreat without any hesitation. "Go!"

    Chen Feng snorted. "Hmph." He was now a level 15 awakened. With the boost provided by the allida reagent, he reached level 20 awakened. And with the amplification effect of his miniature person, he reached an astonishing level of 400! The strength he could erupt with had reached a brand new level.

    "Can you even escape?" said Chen Feng, his face calm.

    Shua!

    He flickered and immediately reappeared behind the steelback king. Next, he hurled his fist out.

    Bang!

    A dreadful force burst out of his hand andnded on the thick scales of the steelback king. Then, a translucent wave rippled out of the scales, seemingly having counteracted all the force sent forth by Chen Feng¡¯s fist.

    The steelback kingughed. "Hahaha. How can this level of attack damage my scales..."

    Before he could even finish his sentence, he stopped talking. His eyes went wide as he stared at his chest, disbelieving. There, an immense force could be felt trying to break out of his chest.

    Pu!

    Blood sttered everywhere. Chen Feng¡¯s attack had actually pierced through his scales and gone through his body to directly reach the front of his body.

    This... How is this possible?

    The steelback king¡¯s eyes opened wide. How was it possible for Chen Feng to be this strong?

    Bang!

    And next, his body loudly crashed to the ground.

    As the others saw this, they tried to flee in fear. However, how could they seed? The herculean apes had presently fully erupted in power, and the majority of them were level 12 awakened. This was an inconceivable realm.

    "Come," Chen Feng said as he looked at the green monkey, who had already been captured. "Why are you guys attacking and retreating?"

    "We..." The green monkey gulped, as he felt like crying. "We discovered that you guys have something capable of boosting your strength. We also noticed that there is an active duration to that boost. As such, we nned to force you guys to use it before retreating and returning when the duration was over..."

    So this was their n? Chen Feng exchanged nces with the huge monkey. It was without doubt that these enemies were quite intelligent. In fact, this n could have worked. Unfortunately, they hade a tad bit toote, after the herculean apes had obtained yet another increase in strength.

    In fact, the present herculean apes would not fear them even without the allida reagent. In short, the two tribes had been attacking and fleeing just so they could force the herculean apes to use their reagent. However, it was trulymentable for them that after the herculean apes¡¯ eruption, they had failed to even escape. The herculean apes that had fully erupted in power had delivered them a crushing defeat. Furthermore, the steelback king had even been defeated with a single punch.

    The steelback king possessed defenses far surpassing his peers. Even so, he had been helpless against Chen Feng¡¯s fist. How strong exactly was this person? One ought to remember that the steelback king was a resonator, as was the green monkey. However, against Chen Feng, an awakened, they werepletely not a match.

    How was this even possible? And those herculean apes, how had their strength improved so rapidly? The green monkey was thoroughly stupefied. He could no longer understand this world.

    Chapter 760: Mountcarver

    The Grasshorde Tribe was no more. The Steelback Tribe was no more either. In the territory of the Steelback Tribe, they found a fruit capable of increasing strength. However, due to the Steelback Tribe¡¯s excessive consumption, it would probably take a year or so for the trees to bear fruit once again.

    Regardless, this was still a new resource they had gained control of. Suddenly, Chen Feng felt like he had discovered a bright path toward greatness. Since all resources capable of increasing strength were already upied, he only needed to keep conquering these tribes and he would most certainly be able to obtain control over numerous resources. He would then be able to advance without stop and reach level 100 awakened or, perhaps, even higher.

    "Huge monkey, draw up a map detailing the surrounding tribes for me," Chen Feng said in excitement.

    The huge monkey nodded. "All right." Even if the herculean apes specialized in brute strength, they were nevertheless monkeys. As such, they were rather nimble and were skilled at scouting out the enemies as well. Soon after, a detailed map was drawn.

    s, the result differed somewhat from what Chen Feng had expected. He had originally expected that, with the herculean apes as the starting point, he would be able to fight his way through all these tribes while increasing his strength without stop. Ultimately, he would be undefeated.

    And yet... here he was, looking at the map in distress. That was because, on the map, a circle about the size of a fingernail had been drawn to indicate the territory of the herculean apes. Next, two simrly sized circles were drawn, representing the territories of the destroyed Grasshorde Tribe and Steelback Tribe. And next, just as Chen Feng was waiting for more fingernail-sized circles to be drawn, suddenly, the huge monkey waved his hand and drew a circle with a diameter of two meters.

    Chen Feng: "...?"

    What was this? He looked at the huge monkey, stupefied.

    "This is the nearest tribe to us," the huge monkey exined calmly.

    Chen Feng: "???"

    Why are you so calm? The ratio between the size of your tribes... Do you not notice the issue?

    "This is about right." The huge monkey studied the map and pondered deeply before nodding in confirmation. "Yes, this is about the size of their territory."

    Chen Feng: "..."

    He raised his head and looked at that massive circle, stupefied. Hold on, this wasn¡¯t right. If there was indeed such arge tribe nearby, why had the herculean apes not been destroyed already?

    Seeing Chen Feng¡¯s confusion, the huge monkey exined, "This tribe is known as the Mountcarver Tribe. They established a huge city that wees all tribes, talking about something called civilization. So long as the tribes are willing to obey the rules, they are even willing to share the resources there. In any case, they are not interested in attacking us.

    "What is the point of sharing resources? In any case, even if they are powerful, we feel that they are quite stupid. If we were that strong, we would have long destroyed all the tribes around us," the huge monkey said confidently.

    Chen Feng had a pensive look as he listened on. Civilization, huh... So it turned out that in this era, some more intelligent life-forms had indeed been born. As for what the huge monkey had said, he ignored it. What was the point of destroying all the surrounding tribes? This was an era of gods, an era where the gods needed believers to fuel them. If they killed everyone, gods might starting out to deal with them.

    "Why did you guys not join them?" Chen Feng was curious. Since the herculean apes had been bullied so badly recently, wouldn¡¯t it have been better for them to join this city?

    "We tried. They rejected us." The huge monkey was depressed. "They said that our average strength was too weak."

    "Oh?" Chen Feng was astonished. "What is the requirement?"

    "For the tribe to average level 1 resonance," the huge ape said with a sigh.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes went wide. To average level 1 resonance? Did that not mean that only a race with a god that had also been developing for quite a while would be able to join this tribe? If so, the strength of this tribe...

    Hiss¡ª

    He inhaled a deep breath in shock. He did not need to think much to see that this was quite a terrifying tribe, a super powerhouse. It would also be apt to say that this was a huge alliance of tribes centered around a certain powerhouse tribe.

    With their present strength, they did not qualify to even touch this tribe. This was no mere striking a stone with an egg. Rather, this was more like striking a wall with sperm. Regardless of the number, it would still prove fruitless.

    Shua!

    Suddenly, the world around him felt so much more silent. His heart, which burned with ambition, cooled down. How was he supposed to even defeat them? Even after the growth burst Chen Feng had provided, the herculean apes only averaged level 7 awakened. Even with the allida reagent, they would only average level 12. Even the strongest of them, the huge monkey, was a mere level 20-odd awakened.

    They had no resonator, yet that tribe¡¯s average was level 1 resonance. Without a doubt, the strength of this alliance of tribes was something that caused one¡¯s heart to chill at the mere thought. In short, his great path of godhood had ended so soon after it had begun? However, soon after, Chen Feng started to frown.

    That was because he had still found an issue. If this alliance of tribes was represented by that huge circle on the map, why were there merely three small circles around them? It should not be possible that only the Herculean Ape Tribe, the Grasshorde Tribe, and the Steelback Tribe neighbored them.

    What about the other tribes? Chen Feng looked at the huge monkey in question.

    "Other tribes?" The huge monkey waved his hand dismissively. "They are too weak. With our average awakened level of 12, we are already the strongest around here. All the tribes around are tribes that have been rejected by the Mountcarvers. As such, the average levels of these tribes are all below the resonance realm. It would be way too boring to fight them."

    The huge monkey surged with arrogance.

    Pa!

    Chen Feng pped him grudgingly.

    "What in the world are you feeling all proud for? Do you not want their resources? Without any resources, how can you even begin to start acting so smug here?" Chen Feng rolled his eyes. What the hell? This fellow¡¯s intelligence was truly questionable.

    "Fine."

    With great hesitation, the huge monkey drew out the positions of the other tribes on the map.

    And thus, numerous other circles began to litter the map around that huge circle in the center. In fact, there were more than one thousand such tribes.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. "This is the kind of map I wanted." These tribes, and their resources... Chen Feng inhaled deeply. Each of these circles represented a tribe and thus represented a resource node. Even if not all of the resources would be suitable for him, there would definitely be some that suited him, given the quantity. If all these resources were produced into reagents to increase his strength... The mere thought caused Chen Feng to be endlessly excited.

    Shua!

    Waving his hand, he started drawing on the map. With their current position as the starting point, he drew a line through all those tribes before circling back to the same position. Mhm, he even drew an arrow pointing clockwise.

    Chen Feng was extremely pleased. "This shall be our route. Crush them and we shall enter a brand new realm."

    "All right." Even the simple-minded huge monkey was able to understand the benefits of doing this.

    "And now... Time to begin!"

 Chapter 761: Cleanup

    Chapter 761: Cleanup

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Half a yearter, in Mountcarve City.

    The city was bustling with all kinds of life-forms. Due to their strength, their outer forms greatly resembled humans¡ªor rather, the gods. As such, only a small number of their respective races¡¯ traits were apparent. Within a certain crude-looking hall, a certain life-form with a long nose was staring ahead in mncholy. He looked at the entrance of the hall, anxiously waiting for something. Beside him, an underling with a big nose was waiting anxiously as well.

    "Are there no tribesing for registration?"

    "Nope."

    "It has been half a year since anyone came, right?"

    "Half a year..."

    The long-nosed guy trembled as he wondered if those tribes had been attracted by another tribe instead. One ought to know that even the weak tribes surrounding them were progressing constantly. The progress never ceased, and one day, they too would reach the resonance realm. Every time that happened, the tribe woulde and apply to join them, bing part of this city.

    In the past years, there had been tribes applying nearly every month. At most, they had only ever had a gap of three months between applications. Moreover, in that instance, after almost exactly three months, four or five tribes hade and applied at one time. Yet now it had been half a year since they had received any applications...

    The huge-nosed guy asked, "Is this merely a coincidence?"

    "I doubt it," the long-nosed guy muttered. This world progressed along with time. Even the three-month gap they¡¯d had back then had been a long time ago. After that, the frequency of applications had only increased, nearly reaching an average of twice per month. And now, the applications had suddenly stopped for half a year? This was most definitely not something as simple as a coincidence. There had to be a problem somewhere.

    "Send out a team of scouts to check around," the long-nosed guy said as he clenched his teeth.

    The big-nosed guy was somewhat worried. "Boss, if we send a team of scouts out, this will be recorded."

    The long-nosed guy shook his head and solemnly said, "We can¡¯t afford to worry about that anymore. I reckon something big must have happened."

    "All right." The big-nosed guy went out and started making the necessary arrangements. Soon, scouts were sent out. This group was already quite familiar with such scouting missions. As such, they immediately left and headed casually toward a nearby tribe. However, somewhat surprisingly, this nearby tribe had mysteriously vanished. Regardless of how they searched, they couldn¡¯t found the tribe.

    "Are you sure you guys haven¡¯t been looking in the wrong location?"

    "Absolutely sure. They should be in that general area."

    "Keep searching."

    "Fine."

    The scouts resumed the search, yet nothing was found.

    "Perhaps... they have moved?"

    "I guess. Try searching for other nearby tribes."

    They decided to look for a different tribe instead. And thus, the scouts set forth once again toward a different nearby tribe. However, even after two hours of travel, nothing was found apart from an endless sea of trees.

    "Something isn¡¯t right. It is impossible to not find a single life-form even after traveling so far. Moreover, not a single tribe has been found either. What¡¯s going on?"

    Even the scouts started to be anxious now. They felt like something had happened here.

    "Report this to the higher-ups, then continue the search."

    "All right."

    They continued their search. One hour, two hours, 10 hours, they continued their search around their city. To avoid missing anything, they were extremely serious in their search as theybed a huge area. However, nothing whatsoever was found. All they found were endless trees. No other life-forms were in sight.

    This horrified them. The search went on, and by the second day, the scouts were already in a rather bad condition.

    The entire team of scouts was depressed, as they had searched every nook and cranny yet still had not found anything. The entire forest seemed devoid of life, apart from the vegetation. What exactly had happened here? They were filled with anxiousness. Right at this instant, a faint energy fluctuation was felt nearby.

    At this discovery, they all became agitated.

    "Found something!"

    "Let¡¯s go!"

    ...

    Amid the woods, Chen Feng¡¯s group had just finished a battle. "Is this the final tribe?"

    The huge monkey nodded. "Mhm. This is the final tribe."

    "Excellent." Chen Feng was very much pleased. At present, Chen Feng and the huge monkey were already somewhat different than they had been half a year ago. Within this period, the herculean apes had been led by Chen Feng as they defeated all the tribes surrounding the huge city. A total of 1,200 tribes had been defeated. Among them, 500 types of usable resources had been found. After Chen Feng¡¯s gene production, these 500 resources had disyed a rather astonishing effect.

    Even though only 200 out of these 500 resources had been capable of providing a direct strength increase, even though further improvements were extremely hard for those at level 10 awakened, they had still managed to reach a terrifying level of improvement. As of present, the average strength of the herculean apes was level 90 awakened. With their innate strength, they were able to erupt withbat powerparable to level 1 resonators.

    As for the huge monkey, he was now a level 96 awakened, while Chen Feng was now a level 100 awakened. As the amount of increase dropped at higher levels, they weren¡¯t too from Chen Feng. One would even think that with their innate strength, they would be a match for Chen Feng.

    However, only these herculean apes themselves knew how big the gap was between them and Chen Feng. Throughout the entire journey, regardless of whether the enemies had been level 3, level 4, or even level 5 resonators, none had been able to avoid being killed by Chen Feng. Each of them had died to a single punch.

    Since an indeterminate point in time, regr resonators had stopped being a match for Chen Feng. His strength was truly terrifying.

    The huge monkey couldn¡¯t help but ask, "You can¡¯t be a god for real, right?"

    Toward this, Chen Feng merely smiled.

    God, huh...

    He sensed the strength within him. A full eruption of his level 100 awakened strength would reach the strength of level 10,000 awakened after being amplified by his miniature person. This was a realm beyond even resonators. And what was the realm above resonance, then? How far was this realm from actual godhood? Chen Feng was filled with anticipation.

    "Let¡¯s go." He led the monkeys as they prepared to leave.

    Since all the tribes had already been cleaned up, it was time for them to leave. However, just as they turned around to leave, a figure noiselessly appeared.

    "Who is it?" the huge monkey asked vigntly.

    Shua!

    A neat-looking figure approached them at a rather extraordinary speed from the woods.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled. "This is..." He, who was normally emotionless when facing regr regtors, had actually had his nerves stretched taut the moment this person appeared.

    Tap. Tap.

    That figure slowly approached one step at a time. The terrifying pressure emanating from this person...

    God!

    This was the only word that appeared in Chen Feng¡¯s mind as this person entered his sight. This was most definitely a god.

 Chapter 762: Questioning the God

    Chapter 762: Questioning the God

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Why was a god here? Chen Feng¡¯s body chilled. Despite his recent rapid growth, he had never once believed that he was currently capable of defeating a god. After all, they were in twopletely different realms. In Chen Feng¡¯s n, he was supposed to slowly obtain more and more resources as he grew in strength. Ultimately, his strength would start approaching that of the gods. Only then would he think of a way to challenge the gods. Not now, not like this. He hadn¡¯t wanted to encounter a god this early.

    This was illogical. Why was a god even here? They were just in the surroundings of thatrge city. This was merely a remote region, one even the Mountcarver Tribe could not be bothered with. Why would a god be here? Chen Feng was confused.

    "Is it you guys?" the god asked in an extremely gentle voice. However, it was this very gentle voice that was apanied by horrifying killing intent. Almost instantly, all the herculean apes started prostrating on the ground. As for Chen Feng and the huge monkey, they were greatly affected by this pressure as well.

    A single word... and his mere aura... to achieve all this. So this was a god? Chen Feng clenched his teeth. The huge monkey wanted to speak, but that terrifying pressure caused him to not even be able to open his mouth.

    Pu!

    Blood started bursting out of his body. As for the herculean ape tribesmen, they were facing imminent destruction.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng spoke. "What do you mean by that?" Within him, the miniature person started syncing with him, slowly counteracting the pressure projected by the god. He knew that he could not be this god¡¯s opponent. However, he was at least able to talk.

    "Huh?" The god looked at Chen Feng in astonishment. Evidently, he was curious about how this little fellow was capable of actually resisting the pressure enough to talk. One ought to know that even though this god had asked a question, he had not expected anyone to answer. Under the majestic pressure of a god, all awakened ones and resonators were but bugs. As such, they did not qualify to even answer the question of a god. And yet this little guy here was able to speak in his presence.

    "Are you guys the ones that killed my believers?" the god asked with the same gentle voice. This time, the pressure he emanated became more intense. Moreover, since Chen Feng was able to talk, a huge amount of the pressure was now targeting Chen Feng.

    Bang!

    Terrifying pressure descended. Chen Feng could clearly feel that surging pressure. Fortunately, now that he was a level 10,000 awakened, he was able to hold on, albeit with great difficulty.

    Believers... Killed his believers... Finally, Chen Feng understood. Among the tribes they had eliminated, some of them had been believers of this god. However... this was a god, right?

    Before this, Chen Feng had indeed heard of the situation where, if you beat up the small guy, the big guy would step out. And if you beat up the big guy, an old man woulde out. And if you beat up the old man, the ancestor woulde out. After all, those people were of the same n and it wasn¡¯t weird for them to be protective. However, he had never heard that after beating up the believers, the god would appear!

    Was this god sick or something? Any god would have tens of millions of believers. Why would they even be bothered with the lives of some believers? And to reach a point where the god actually bothered to avenge the death of a small number of believers? Was this god sick? Chen Feng was copsing.

    If this was how all the gods acted, this era would probably be in great chaos. Almost every day there were countless wars between tribes. If all gods were so dedicated when it came to protecting their believers, which of them would still dare to fight? This was simply ridiculous.

    Moreover, they had eliminated more than 1,000 tribes, yet this was the only god that had appeared. Chen Feng could only think of one reason for a god to appear as a result of his actions. He recalled that in the legends of his previous life, there had been a certain god with an incredible appetite for sex, who had left his seeds in nearly all the races, giving birth to countless children.

    "Among these tribes, some were your children?" Chen Feng asked, distressed. This was truly unlucky of them.

    Shua!

    Suddenly, their surrounding seemed to go silent at what Chen Feng had said. The god¡¯s always-calm expression changed slightly. He looked at this youth that seemed to have epted his fate, and instantly, the god frowned. As he pondered Chen Feng¡¯s words, his killing intent became even more intense.

    "You dare insult a god?" A god was supposed to be an existence high and mighty above everyone else. He did not know what this fellow was thinking. He also did not know why this guy had rted this to his children even though he had been asking about his believers. Nevertheless, it was evident that this guy was insulting a god.

    Bang!

    Terrifying godly power rippled out. Finally, the god was furious.

    Huh?

    Chen Feng was stupefied. So he had guessed wrongly? Hold on... If he had truly gotten it wrong...

    "As a god, you are actually lowering yourself and getting involved in the disputes of those mortals far below you. Is this not too excessive?" howled Chen Feng.

    Shua!

    At these words, the attack paused right before it reached Chen Feng. Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled. Splendid. Since this god was willing to listen to him, all was not lost.

    Chen Feng continued speaking loudly. "You, exalted one, are an almighty and great god. We of the bottom kill each other for the sake of our respective beliefs, for our respective gods! If the godse out each time some of their believers are killed, what will be of this world? After you kill us, should our god take revenge for us? Then, will all the gods will start lowering themselves, getting pulled into the affairs of mortals?

    "Earlier, I thought that some of the believers were your children and had resigned myself to this fate. But since none of them were your children, you should tell me the reason for this, right? I know, as a god, you don¡¯t even need to answer the questions of us lowly mortals. However, we truly can¡¯t ept dying without even knowing the reason, or perhaps dying merely because we have killed some believers... This is truly quite uncalled for!"

    To maintain his momentum, he had even forced all the words out in one go. He was quite afraid that even a slight pause would cause him to be directly killed by this god. He did not know if this god would listen to them. However, what he had uttered was precisely the question that the herculean apes had. Even if they had to die, they needed to know the reason, right? Even more so when a god was the one doing the killing.

    Chen Feng looked straight at the god, hoping to get an answer. However, somewhat surprisingly, the god¡¯s killing intent had increased even further. Moreover, he was currently gazing at Chen Feng with an odd gaze.

    Mhm?

    Chen Feng¡¯s scalp went numb. Had he spoken wrongly? He pondered the matter and could not think of anything he had said that would have provoked this god to such an extent. Perhaps his tone of voice had been too harsh? His heart chilled. God... Facing such an almighty existence, they did not even qualify to converse with him. Was this god merely feeling insulted because a mere mortal had had the audacity to converse with a god? If so, Chen Feng could only smile bitterly.

    The god¡¯s t voice resounded. "You want a reason? I will give you one. Struggles between believers ur every single day. There wille new believers, and believers will die. I naturally wouldn¡¯te looking for you because of this."

    Why, then? Chen Feng was filled with doubt. Even the herculean apes were filled with doubt. Apart from killing some believers, they hadn¡¯t done anything else recently.

    "A god should note down for the death of some believers, and a god wouldn¡¯t do so. You are indeed right about this."

    The god had expressed agreement to what Chen Feng had said. However, for reasons unknown, this only caused the bad feeling Chen Feng had to intensify.

    "But..." The god gazed at Chen Feng grudgingly as his calm voice was suddenly filled with me. "You guys can¡¯t keep going about killing the believers of a single god, right? I had a hundred thousand believers, yet in half a year, you killed fifty thousand of them. Aren¡¯t you being a tad bit too excessive?"

    Toward the end, the god¡¯s killing intent was already rocketing.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Huge monkey: "..."

    Chen Feng was thoroughly stupefied. Fifty thousand? He thought about it and recalled that during this half a year, they had indeed eliminated over a thousand tribes. Some of the tribes had had quite a few resonators, the majority of them being level 1 resonators. Apart from dealing with the leaders, Chen Feng had hardly made a move. However, when the herculean apes had reached a point where all of them were capable of contending against level 1 resonators, they had started crushing their opponents with extreme ease, not a single one of the enemy resonators had been able to escape them.

    As such, it was quite probable that they had killed a total of fifty thousand resonators so far. However, they had never imagined that all fifty thousand of them were the believers of the same god. What the hell? It was over. Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. Suddenly, he recalled the words that a certain someone had uttered in his previous life. Out of ten-odd sheep, only one was shaved excessively. When that happened, it would be so extremely striking no one would miss it. And now, Chen Feng was in the same situation. During this half year, all the resonators he had killed were actually the believers of a single god.

 Chapter 763: Believer

    Chapter 763: Believer

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Shua!

    The world seemed topse into silence, and a mood one would describe as awkward pervaded the air. Chen Feng wanted to say something, but he could find nothing to say. It was a mistake? He had not been aware that those people were this god¡¯s believers? If he dared say this, he would probably be immediately killed.

    Even if he himself were the god in question, he would probably be angry. For this god to have the patience to exin the reason to him, this was already a rather kind god. However, Chen Feng still grumbled. Couldn¡¯t this god have spread his believers around more rather than have them all so concentrated? Of course, these words were only thought, not spoken.

    The huge monkey by his side was instead the one to talk. "Why are you so stupid? Even us monkeys know that you shouldn¡¯t put all your eggs in the same basket."

    It¡¯s over. Chen Feng¡¯s heart chilled. He raised his head. Indeed. The god¡¯s killing intent was surging. Under this terrifying pressure, the air itself almost coagted, to the point that even their breathing was now impeded. It seemed like this god was now truly angry.

    God damn you, huge monkey!

    At this time, high above the starry sky, a throne hovered. A certain person was seated there as he overlooked this world. Suddenly, he seemed to see something, and a smile formed on his face.

    "Ah, I can¡¯t allow you to kill him. After all..."

    He rotated the ring on his finger lightly as faint godly power surged out. Instantly, the throne started flickering before vanishing once again.

    ...

    In the forest outside Mountcarve City, the furious god finally made his move. Instantly, his terrifying godly power charged at the huge monkey. Chen Feng sighed. Even though the attack was aimed at the huge monkey, without a doubt, not a single one of them would be left alive. Thus, they had no choice but to fight it out with all they had.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng erupted in strength. He bloomed with all his power, unleashing a terrifying might with his miniature person. Instantly, an overwhelming might surged out of him. This was his strongestbat form, a form that was capable of instantly killing any resonator in existence, or even those above the resonance realm. This was his confidence.

    But of course, his present goal was to be able to block even one of this god¡¯s attacks.

    Bang!

    For the first time, his attack shed with the god¡¯s attack.

    Ka!

    A crisp sound rang out.

    What he saw next was the sight of the attack he was so confident in immediately copsing. Under the attack of the godly power, his attack could not even put up a fight; it was totally destroyed.

    Ka! Ka!

    His entire attack shattered like ss. As for that god¡¯s godly power, it was not even dented. Was this the strength of a god? Chen Feng could do nothing but to give a bitter smile. Encountering a god at his present level was truly no different than encountering a dead end. They could only watch on nkly as the god¡¯s attack reached them.

    And then... the attack stopped.

    Huh?

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled. He raised his head and noted that the god was still filled with anger and killing intent, yet at the same time, he seemed to be hesitating somewhat, as he had actually stopped his attack at this moment. Hope was in sight! Chen Feng had no idea what had happened, yet it was evident that this god was now hesitating.

    "Your strength is not bad." The god held a grudging look. Evidently, the strength Chen Feng had erupted with had stunned him. Even if this strength was still nothing to him, it was nevertheless still remarkable for a mortal.

    The god looked at the herculean apes. "You guys are not bad either." Theycked godly power and resonance, yet they had been able to erupt with powerparable to resonators. What did this signify? This signified that the moment they resonated, their strength would reach a terrifying realm. All these fellows here were seeds with great potential, whether it was Chen Feng, the huge monkey, or the other herculean apes.

    Therefore, even though this god truly wanted to kill them all, at the final moment, he had chosen to listen to reason instead of acting based on his emotions. He had decided to convert these people into his own. After all, the losses he had suffered were way too great.

    "Are you all... willing to be my believers?" the god asked coldly.

    Bang!

    The hearts of Chen Feng and the others jolted violently. Believers! They exchanged nces and were able to see joy in each other¡¯s eyes.

    "I agree," Chen Feng said without hesitation. What kind of joke was this? This was not a situation where he could hesitate.

    The god nodded. "Very good. Let me bestow upon you all the power of gods."

    Hum¡ª

    Faint godly power rippled out. Next, a translucent contract took form in the sky. With that, the herculean apes and Chen Feng officially became the believers of this god. Almost instantaneously, the strength of all the herculean apes rocketed. They, who had already been at the peak of the awakened realm before, instantly broke through under the stimtion of the godly power. They entered the resonance realm, yet their levels were still increasing without stop.

    Level 1 resonance, level 2 resonance, level 3 resonance, all the way to level 9 resonance. Even the god was startled at this sight. One ought to know that this wasn¡¯t happening to only one of them. Rather, it was happening to the entire tribe. Godly power had always been capable of providing a huge boost in strength. Now that the herculean apes, having been stuck at the peak awakened realm for so long, had finally obtained the nourishment of godly power, their strength rocketed to an unprecedented height.

    Now, they wouldn¡¯t be too far off from the peak of the resonance realm. As for the huge monkey, there was no suspense whatsoever. He was able to easily enter the peak of the resonance realm. That coupled with his innate strength as a herculean ape would ensure that hisbat power was even higher than a regr peak resonator.

    How powerful. Even the god was shocked. He suddenly found that in this short period of one minute, these monkeys had all be the core of his pool of believers, bing the strongest tribe among his believers. Howmentable. The god mused that his decision to listen to reason had indeed been correct.

    While the god was rejoicing in his decision to not kill them, he looked over at Chen Feng. He knew that this guy was the leader of these monkeys, the strongest among them. If the herculean apes could reach level 9 resonance and the huge monkey could reach level 10, what about Chen Feng? He looked over at Chen Feng expectantly.

    One minute, two minutes, five minutes... Time passed, yet nothing happened. The god even wondered if he had forgotten to bestow his godly power upon Chen Feng. As such, he sent yet another wave of godly power over to Chen Feng.

    One minute.

    Two minutes.

    ...

    Suddenly, the world seemed topse into silence. Nothing seemed to be happening to Chen Feng. That godly power capable of granting those monkeys an immense growth in strength had not taken effect on Chen Feng. Even Chen Feng himself was extremely stupefied. What was going on? Was he so powerful that that amount of godly power was not sufficient for him? After thinking about it, the god decided to personally transfer a gust of godly power directly into Chen Feng¡¯s forehead.

    Hum¡ª

    The godly power pulsed.

    With his very own eyes, he watched on as that gust of godly power entered Chen Feng¡¯s body before vanishing. Nothing was once again happening to Chen Feng. Just like that, the godly power was gone.

    This time, the god was truly dumbfounded. What was going on?

    "Hu¡ª"

    The god took in a deep breath. Once again, he sent out a gust of godly power. This time, a strand of his consciousnesstched onto the godly power as he personally observed it enter Chen Feng¡¯s body before slowly entering Chen Feng¡¯s sea of consciousness and preparing to merge with him.

    Everything seemed to be progressing correctly so far. And next...

    Shua!

    Everything turned ck. He lost his connection with that strand of consciousness.

 Chapter 764: Becoming a Scapegoat Out of the Blue

    Chapter 764: Bing a Scapegoat Out of the Blue

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Hup!

    The flustered Chen Feng watched on as the miniature person within him hupped. Holy shit. This miniature person had actually devoured the godly power sent by the god. At first, he had also been waiting expectantly for the godly power to descend upon him. But then, the moment the godly power had entered his body, it had been devoured by the miniature person.

    In fact, that miniature person did not have a separate consciousness of its own. Rather, this was an instinctual behavior. This was no different than how an experienced racer would react instinctively in a lot of situations.

    But... what exactly was this miniature person? This pirated version of a nascent soul had this function? Was this miniature person trying to reach godhood or something? Chen Feng was speechless. When the second wave of godly power entered him, Chen Feng watched on with his full attention. He noted that although the godly power seemed to have been absorbed by the miniature person, the fact was that the miniature person had not moved at all. And that familiar hup...

    Hum...

    Behind the miniature person, a red radiance appeared.

    Chen Feng was surprised. "Xiao Ying?"

    Swish!

    The red glow pulsed as Xiao Ying slowly crawled over, his belly bulging to the point that he was almost round.

    "It is indeed you."

    Chen Feng was overjoyed to see this. As ofte, as both he and Xiao Ying increased his strength, Xiao Ying had entered into a slumber. Unexpectedly, with the godly power as the trigger, Xiao Ying had actually awoken. Moreover, the Xiao Ying of the past, who could only have consumed consciousness and energy, was now able to consume godly power as well. The upgrade he had obtained during this slumber seemed rather overpowered.

    Hum¡ª

    Yet more godly power arrived. Xiao Ying glowed brightly in excitement. s, due to overeating, he could only crawl slowly this time. As Chen Feng saw this, he hastily pulled Xiao Ying back.

    "If you are already full, stop eating." Chen Feng wiped his sweat. "This is different than the past. It¡¯s not an enemy attack. Hide yourself first."

    Xiao Ying understood what Chen Feng was saying. With a swish, both Xiao Ying and the miniature person vanished into Chen Feng¡¯s sea of consciousness.

    The new wave of godly power entered with a strand of consciousness from the god and swept around. After confirming that there was nothing in here, the godly power dispersed and slowly blended into Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    Hum¡ª

    Chen Feng¡¯s body started pulsing with faint godly power.

    "Sess?"

    The god was surprised. He had expected it to fail again. If that had truly happened, he would have begun studying this fellow to figure out what was going on. Surprisingly, it had actually seeded. This only proved that this fellow¡¯s talent was astonishingly bad. Even the huge monkey had required only one percent of what he had inserted into Chen Feng to progress.

    He had initially believed that this Chen Feng would be the strongest after resonance, since he was the strongest of the herculean apes. Now, though, it seemed like he had been overthinking things. The god shook his head at the thought of Chen Feng¡¯s low talent. He no longer intended to provide Chen Feng with any assistance.

    Generally speaking, after the contract of gods was established, the resonators would progress in strength independently based on theirprehension. In fact, a god taking the initiative to help his believers achieve resonance was unprecedented.

    Yet even with his assistance, this Chen Feng had only achieved resonance with such difficulty. If he had toprehend godly power by himself... The god shook his head in regret. He was certain that this fellow would be forever stuck at this level.

    At present, Chen Feng¡¯s strength started rocketing after achieving resonance. His strength, previously that of level 100 awakened, increased rapidly, pushing him to the peak of resonance. From his aura, he was much stronger than even the huge monkey. However, the god merely shook his head. What a pity, for such a good seed to have such disastrous talent.

    "You all..."

    At this point, the god¡¯s first reaction was to turn around and leave. After all, believers would normally be left to develop by themselves. However, as he thought of the situation here in the areas surrounding Mountcarve City and the potential demonstrated by the herculean apes, he decided to take them along instead.

    "Come with me. There is no longer anything of value for you guys here."

    Chen Feng and the rest obeyed. For them, being able to stay alive was already a great thing.

    Shua!

    The god led them away. After a long time, a group of people appeared where Chen Feng¡¯s group had been before.

    "They... should¡¯ve left, right?"

    "Mhm."

    "Did he notice us?"

    "I think so... He is, after all, a god."

    "Why did he spare our lives, then?"

    "Perhaps it was because of our uniforms showing that we are from Mountcarve City. Or perhaps he simply disdains to do such a thing toward the likes of us."

    "I guess so."

    "Anyone know which god that was?"

    "Nope."

    "Well, let¡¯s report it to the higher-ups, then. This is no longer something we can get involved in."

    "True... the disappearance of over a thousand tribes around the city might have something to do with this god as well. It has been way too long since any of the gods have dared to do something like this. This is too excessive."

    "I suppose yet another bloodbath is about to start."

    "War of the gods, huh?"

    They conversed in low voices. These people were precisely the scouts from Mountcarve City. They had followed the trail along the way until they had finally heard something, at which point they had rushed over here. Unexpectedly, they had encountered something like this. They had witnessed an entire powerful tribe being recruited by a god.

    That was not all. The tribes in the surrounding areas were traditionally their source of recruitment. Yet here was this god, recruiting the entirety of the tribe and even taking them away with him. This was too excessive. As they thought of the thousand-plus tribes that had vanished, they seemed to have finally found an answer.

    ...

    In Mountcarve City, the news brought back by the scouts shocked the entire city. As this was reported, the several gods of Mountcarve City were furious.

    "What are you saying? A god took away all those tribes?"

    "He has broken the taboo."

    "Gods should never get involved in the fights between believers. This fellow has crossed the line."

    "He is seeking death!"

    "Perhaps this is a new god that does not know about the rules?"

    "Since he does not know the rules, let us teach him a lesson. Even if Lord Sin God does not allow fighting between gods, I don¡¯t mind bing a god that is eternally without believers."

    "Get the people to start preparing."

    "Mhm..."

    Mountcarve City had around one million believers. Due to their above-average quality, they were quitecking on the quantity side.

    This low-poption issue was furtherpounded by the fact that this was an alliance of tribes, so various different species lived here, resulting in a low reproduction rate. That was why this city relied on outside tribes as a source of recruitment. Yet now, this source of recruitment had been destroyed. How could Mountcarve City not be angered by the destruction of their very foundation?

    "Investigate that god. After that, we can teach him a lesson," a sinister voice ordered. This caused the inhabitants of Mountcarve City to be filled with excitement. Finally, a war between the gods would start. By observing this battle between gods, they, the resonators, might be able to gain some insight and improve. This was quite a rare opportunity.

    ...

    At this time, the god that had brought Chen Feng¡¯s group away was still unaware that he had been made a scapegoat. He brought them to his pce. He had carved this pce out from a mountain with his own godly power; it was supernaturally finely crafted.

    "This is my shrine," the god introduced proudly.

    The huge monkey scratched his head. "A mountain is your shrine?" This so-called pce was notvishly decorated at all. Everything within was made out of stone.

    "This is a pce," the god said as his expression darkened. He took in a deep breath and said, "This ce has exquisite scenery, abundant energy, and rich resources. The entire shrine is iparably massive and spectacrly beautiful."

    "But..." The huge monkey was puzzled. "It is still a mountain."

    "..." The god nced at the huge monkey, faint killing intent in his gaze.

    "Cough, cough." Chen Feng gave the huge monkey a kick before shifting the topic. "Looks like Lord God prefers peaceful environments."

    "Mhm," the god answered with a dark expression. If it wasn¡¯t for the excellent innate talent of the herculean apes, he would have eliminated them long ago. Those bastards, daring to speak in such a manner to a god!

    The god brought them to the pce. "Sit." The pce was extremely huge, so huge that even though they numbered in the tens of thousands, they were stillparatively tiny.

    The god spoke expressionlessly. "Normally, only my apostles can enter the shrine. I have allowed you guys entry only because you guys might be able to be my apostles in the future."

    "Apostles?"

    The huge monkey scratched his head. For the huge monkey, whom had still been an awakened one half a year ago, "apostle" was evidently a rather unfamiliar realm.

    "Above resonance is the apostle realm. To be precise, using terms you guys are familiar with, an apostle is the spokesperson of a god." Thankfully, this god did not mind exining. "Resonance is the realm of those who only have just established a connection with a god. As for the apostle¡ªor spokesperson¡ªrealm, it is a new realm that one can enter after one¡¯sprehension of godly power reaches a brand-new height."

    Chen Feng disyed his understanding. "I see. Apostles are normally also spokespersons of their god." If this system was likened to a sect, the awakened ones would be the outer disciples, who were in charge of odd jobs. As for resonators, they would be inner disciples, while the apostles would be the elites of the sect, like elder apprentice brothers.

    "Generally, when one reaches the peak of the resonance realm, one will be qualified to be an apostle. This new realm signifies that one will be able to manipte an even higher tier of the god¡¯s godly power," the god slowly exined. By the side, Chen Feng gained understanding. Apostles... A higher tier of power?

    "Naturally, not everyone can be an apostle. To be one, talent is important. Upon reaching the peak resonance realm, the god will select the strongest ones and bestow upon them the qualification for bing an apostle." the god exined. At this point, he gave Chen Feng a profound gaze. Evidently, Chen Feng was, in his opinion, a person not qualified for this glory. Although Chen Feng was sufficiently powerful, it was unfortunate that even if Chen Feng were to be qualified for apostlehood, his own talent would ensure he failed to reach the apostle realm. He would require too much work on the god¡¯s part.

    The god paused, not knowing what else to exin. "Do you still have anything to ask?"

    In fact, these things he had just exined were supposed to be general knowledge. This god felt quite helpless that he had stumbled upon this bunch that knew nothing. As a god, this was his very first time exining these things.

    "Can I be an apostle?" the huge monkey asked while smacking his chest. He was now a peak resonator with terrifying strength. As such, he had no hesitation when it came to challenging the nest realm.

    The god pondered and decided to give him a chance. "You can tryter."

    The huge monkey beamed. "Many thanks." He naturally felt incredibly happy now. It was truly unexpected that in a short half year, he would be able to start challenging the apostle realm.

    Chen Feng wanted to try as well. "How about me?"

    The god sighed. "...I will give you a chance as well, then."

    At this time, the other herculean apes that were simrly level 10 resonators, in their excitement, wanted to sign up as well. However, after giving it some thought, the god merely shook his head and said, "We will talk about you guys after the two of them have tried."

    At this, the noise died down. However, everyone was still endlessly excited. By the side, Chen Feng was able to get the hidden meaning. What the god meant was that if these two failed, there was no point in the other herculean apes trying. It was evident that for a god, apostles were rather important.

    Apostle, eh?

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze sharpened. In his impasse, he had managed to transform peril into gain. And now even Xiao Ying had awakened. As such, Chen Feng was filled with confidence. The truth was that he wasn¡¯t that bothered about the identity of an apostle. However, if he was granted the qualification, he would be able to verify his current strength in the trial. He truly wanted to know how strong he was.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng raised his hand. "I have one more question." It was not easy for him toe across such a down-to-earth god, and thus, he had decided to clear all his doubts while he had the chance.

    "Say it," said the god.

    Chen Feng asked, "Based on my guess, Mountcarve City probably exists for the sake of gathering believers as well. However, why did they give up on the small tribes surrounding them? Why were the tribes surrounding them allowed to believe in other gods? Even if a lot of them were your believers, there should have been believers of other gods as well, right? And if those believers had joined Mountcarve City, whose believers would they have been then? I am quite confused."

    Shua!

    At this question, the god¡¯s gaze became sharp. He fixed his gaze on Chen Feng for several seconds before shutting his eyes, calming himself. Evidently, he had never expected that a member of the Herculean Ape Tribe would have the kind of vision required to ask such a question. This was a question so very close to his heart.

    After a short contemtion, he decided to tell Chen Feng. Perhaps... "The moment believers join the city, they be the believers of the gods there."

    It was because Chen Feng was the very first life-form he had encountered capable of an exchange on this level. Or perhaps it was because the life-forms here, his believers included, were all too simple minded, driving him into boredom.

    "Be believers of other gods?" Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled. Did this not mean that these small tribes were in fact just there to produce believers?

    The god sighed. "Yes, we are indeed producing believers for them. To enter the resonance realm, awakened ones need to sign a contract with a god and fuse with the god¡¯s godly power. This is also the step where the exhaustion of godly power is at its highest, due to the preparation of the contract. Even though it¡¯s a contract that gods normally have several copies of prepared in advance, when the number of believers reaches the hundred thousands, millions, or even ten millions, the rate of exhaustion bes rather terrifying.

    "Therefore, they decided to leave these awakened ones around their city and let us minor gods do the heavy lifting for them. When those believers be strong enough to join the city, those gods harvest the fruits of ourbor."

    As the god¡¯s exnation reached this point, his expression dimmed. Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. He had never expected that there was such a system among the gods. So it turned out that the hard work of these minor gods ended up being nothing but a gift to the major gods?

    "But..." Chen Feng could not understand. Since that was the case, what was the point of working so hard? Why agree to keep doing it?

    The god knew what Chen Feng wanted to ask. "Why do wepromise? This is the origin of the rule that only tribes with an average strength of level 1 resonance can join." The god paused. "From the moment when the first resonator is created until the moment when the tribe¡¯s average strength reaches level 1 resonance, these few years of development are the years where their faith belongs to us."

    "..." Finally, Chen Feng understood. This could be likened to the major gods eating meat while the minor gods drank soup. If they disagreed... perhaps those minor gods would not be able to get even a single believer. Suddenly, Chen Feng recalled a certain term: market monopoly! Holy shit, these gods were quite smart, eh?

    That was also why this god had been so greedy when looking at the Herculean Ape Tribe. He had even lowered himself to personally bring them to his pce. Evidently, he was trying to build up his core with these monkeys. After all, all their believers in the past...

    In short, these minor gods were like the educational institutions or training agencies from Chen Feng¡¯s past life, which instructed and trained people who would be absorbed into other institutions or organizations after graduation.

 Chapter 766: So There Actually Is One

    Chapter 766: So There Actually Is One

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    So this is what a god is.

    Chen Feng was somewhat stupefied. This waspletely different from the almighty image he had of the gods. It was no wonder that this god here could be so down to earth, wasting his time on them. Production of believers... Chen Feng shook his head. It was no wonder that the deaths of tens of thousands of believers had been sufficient to bring this god out.

    Around Mountcarve City, there had been over a thousand tribes with countless life-forms. However, those able to be believers were only resonators, which had only numbered in the tens of thousands. Even morementable was the fact that they had still had to keep the number of believers under control.

    That was because the moment the number of believers increased excessively, the tribe as a whole would be too strong and would start averaging in the resonance realm. When that happened, those believers would go join Mountcarve City instead.

    Things were truly hard for the minor gods. This was truly what Chen Feng felt. He had never expected that even an illustrious god would live such a miserable life. Naturally, this "miserable" was inparison to the other gods. After all, regardless of how miserable a god was, they were still a god.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng asked, "What does an apostle mean to a god?" He refused to believe that apostles were just normal believers.

    "..." The god looked at Chen Feng with aplicated gaze. This fellow¡¯s wit had truly astonished him. He paused and took in the look of anticipation all the monkeys had before saying, "Apostles have an extraordinary meaning attached to them."

    Indeed. Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled.

    "Apostles can provide an evenrger portion of faith to their god," the god slowly exined. "Apostles are the core of a god¡¯s force. The more apostles a god has, the stronger the god¡¯s godly power and the more powerful the god. Moreover, unlike resonators, apostles can¡¯t shift their allegiance. Therefore, apostles are much more valuable than ordinary believers. However... there are extremely harsh requirements for bing an apostle. It is much harder than you guys imagine. Naturally, countless gods will fight over a person capable of actually bing an apostle."

    As the god finished his exnation, he nced over at Chen Feng. It was clear that he was referring to these herculean apes. He knew that this huge monkey waspletely clueless and this fellow called Chen Feng, this herculean ape that did not resemble an ape, would be the one making decisions in their stead. If, after this, they decided to leave... The god already had his ns for that.

    I see. Finally, Chen Feng understood clearly. In that case, everything was understandable now.

    The moment one became an apostle, one would be imprinted with their god¡¯s brand. This would allow them ess to even higher tiers of the god¡¯s godly power. In return, this person would supply the god with faith. The stronger the god became, the stronger the apostle would be.

    This was why this god had taken such a huge risk and brought them all here. After all, the 5,000 near-apostles the herculean apes had in their ranks were truly too astonishing. This was also why this god had been so down to earth when conversing with Chen Feng, even if this god was of the opinion that Chen Feng was talentless in godly power cultivation and would never be able to ascend into the apostle realm. These 5,000 monkeys alone were Chen Feng¡¯s biggest bargaining chip.

    "I understand now." Chen Feng looked at the god. "So how do I go about bing an apostle?"

    Huh?

    The god was somewhat stunned. He had not expected Chen Feng not to say anything else. After all, a lot of people with the potential to be an apostle normally sought as strong a god as they could. Yet this guy... However, as the god thought about it, he understood the reason for Chen Feng¡¯s decision. Indeed, it was much easier to converse with an intelligent person.

    The god smiled. "Follow me." Suddenly, he felt like even if Chen Feng couldn¡¯t be an apostle, he should still keep the man around. Or perhaps he would search for a treasure or the like capable of helping Chen Feng be an apostle, as Chen Feng was truly an intelligent person. After all, in this wide world, even a god needed someone he could converse with, right?

    After walking past the hall, they reached a massive public square. Within this shrine carved out of an entire mountain, what was mostcking was space. In the huge public square was a flickering shadow that streaked around at an astonishing speed.

    "The process of bing an apostle is quite simple. So long as one reaches the peak of the resonance realm and reaches a certain standard in theirprehension of godly power, one will gain the qualification to be an apostle. As for the rest, the god deals with it. Each god has their own method of testing the standard of their believers¡¯ godly power. As for my standard..." The god pointed at the shadow in the public square. "Defeat him and you shall be my apostle."

    Shua!

    The shadow stopped moving.

    The swiftly moving figure instantly stood still, allowing everyone a clear look at it. This was actually a wooden puppet! A robot? Chen Feng was astonished. Worthy of being a god indeed, to be able to create a robot-like thing. Even though this puppet was made of wood, it had high agility and its usage of godly power had reached an extremely high level. It seemed like this would be this god¡¯s trial.

    The huge monkey was excited. "Let me give it a try." Ever since his strength had rocketed, he hadn¡¯t had a chance to fight seriously. And today he had suddenly jumped from peak awakened to peak resonance in one go; he was itching for a fight with his new strength.

    "Come!" he howled.

    Bang!

    The huge monkey started heading toward the public square.

    "Howl¡ª"

    The huge monkey jumped in while howling in excitement as surging godly power pulsed out of him with the ferocity of the War God. That shadow moved so fast that its actual position could not be determined. However, it did not matter, since the huge monkey wasrge enough to cover more ground.

    Bang!

    A terrifying might descended. All the herculean apes watched on in anticipation.

    Bang!

    With a loud boom, the huge monkey¡¯s body was flung back at a speed even faster than the speed at which he had descended earlier. Instantly, he was sted back to the point that his body was deeply embedded in the mountain, leaving behind a humanoid-shaped hole. All the herculean apes were rmed when the saw this. Only after a long time did the huge monkey manage to crawl out of that hole, horror stered on his face.

    "This... is the strength of an apostle?" eximed the huge monkey, yet soon after, the expression on his face was reced by that of excitement as he said, "How strong! I will be an apostle one day as well!"

    By the side, the god¡¯s lip curled up into an almost unnoticeable smile. In fact, this fight had been started to show these fellows the true strength of an apostle. He wanted to show them that even though he was a minor god, he was nevertheless still a god.

    The god nced over at Chen Feng. "Do you want to give it a try as well?"

    "Okay." Chen Feng entered the public square, seemingly in a hesitant manner. He knew that this god was doing this to let them know the difference in strength between them, after which he¡¯d give them some benefits to win their hearts. However... Chen Feng clenched his fists tightly. He truly wanted to verify his present strength, to see for himself how far apart he was from an apostle.

    After all, even before having godly power, he had already been capable of erupting with the power of a level 10,000 awakened. And now, as a peak resonator, if his strength was amplified by the miniature person within him...

    Chen Feng arrived. Before everyone¡¯s gaze, right before the puppet reached Chen Feng, he inhaled deeply and, with a serene expression, punched out. This was the strongest punch he had ever thrown.

    Bang!

    With a loud boom, that streak was immediately stopped in its tracks.

    Bang!

    Next, wood shavings exploded out, followed by the explosion of the wood puppet, leaving behind a pile of broken wood on the ground.

    Knock. Knock. Knock.

    The wood dropped onto the ground while crisp sounds echoed about in the air.

    Shua!

    Suddenly, the entire world seemed to havepsed into silence. The god, who had initially been watching on proudly, suddenly trembled. A look of disbelief was in his eyes, which had since gone wide. For the first time, an expression of utter shock appeared on his face.

    Ah...

    Chen Feng felt somewhat awkward.

    "This..." Chen Feng shrugged. "It was an ident."

    "You..." The god took in a deep breath, seemingly trying to suppress something. After a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said with an ashenplexion, "Congrattions on your sess. From today onward, you are my apostle, my one and only apostle."

    One and only...

    Chen Feng was astonished. "You do not even have one apostle?"

    "I did have one." The god had a gloomy expression. "He was a treant leader, yet he is no more."

    Chen Feng nked. What does that mean? He remained confused until he followed the god¡¯s gaze and looked at the pile of wood on the ground. Instantly, he was startled. Holy shit, it couldn¡¯t be...This puppet had in fact been a treant?

 Chapter 767: Another Accident

    Chapter 767: Another ident

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    It turned out that Chen Feng was the one to seed. Even the god was caught by surprise. No matter how he looked at it, Chen Feng¡¯s body size did not look like it contained such astonishing strength. However, it was this very Chen Feng that had instantly defeated his only apostle. One ought to know that the treant had been an apostle, and what did that signify? It signified that the treant¡¯s strength far surpassed these resonators.

    The god had allowed them the trial of fighting this treant to show them how strong an apostle was, to consolidate his prestige, and to give them something to look forward to. That was what he had intended. Yet now his apostle had been defeated by Chen Feng.

    This gave him a rather ufortable feeling. Among the 5,000 herculean apes, Chen Feng was the one he was the least optimistic about. It wasn¡¯t because of his strength. Rather, it was because of his poor talent, so poor that it was almost incurable. One ought to know that of the two absolute requirements for one to be an apostle, one of them was to fullyprehend the godly power of their god.

    Yet this Chen Feng... With his poor talent, would he be able toprehend the godly to the point that he could be an apostle? The god doubted it. However, since he had already promised to make those that passed this trail into apostles, he could not go back on his words. Furthermore, if he did not turn Chen Feng into his apostle, he might not even have a single apostle left.

    "Come." The god hade to a decision. "Assume the correct posture. Yes, this is correct. I aming."

    The god inhaled deeply. He pointed his finger at Chen Feng¡¯s forehead, and his finger started flickering with a faint glow.

    Hum¡ª

    A contract of the gods appeared. The contract this time was not a regr contract. Rather, this was a true-locked contract, an apostle¡¯s contract. The moment this contract was signed, Chen Feng would be his apostle.

    The god pointed. "Go." The apostle¡¯s contract entered Chen Feng¡¯s body and started operating.

    Bang!

    His godly power surged.

    "It¡¯s starting."

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled. He was aware of what this god was thinking. However, he wasn¡¯t worried. The reason for what had happened previously was Xiao Ying devouring the godly power. This time, he had already ensured that Xiao Ying would stay quiet and would not indiscriminately eat random stuff.

    Therefore, he should be able to smoothly enter the apostle realm, giving this god a shock. Chen Feng was still quite a prideful person.

    It would surely be quite an experience to witness a god¡¯s shocked expression. s, even as the apostle¡¯s contract entered his body, Chen Feng found in astonishment that he still had no reaction.

    ...

    Hey? Instinctively, Chen Feng looked into his sea of consciousness. This was not right. Xiao Ying was obviously not doing anything. So what had happened to the godly power... As Chen Feng took a glimpse into his sea of consciousness, he was instantly dumbfounded.

    There, all the godly power vanished the moment it neared the miniature person. All the godly power had been absorbed by the miniature person.

    Chen Feng was stupefied. Holy shit, this miniature person truly could absorb godly power? Suddenly, he recalled that, due to Xiao Ying¡¯s appearance, he had believed that Xiao Ying was the reason his body had been unable to absorb godly power. Unexpectedly, his body truly couldn¡¯t absorb any, since it was all absorbed by the miniature person.

    Why was this happening? Chen Feng was doubtful. He could not make sense of this. The only thing that happened when this miniature person absorbed godly power was him not obtaining godly power for himself, halting his progress. There were no other benefits. Furthermore, he couldn¡¯t even make use of the godly power the miniature person had absorbed. He had no way of making this miniature person materialize in the outside world to fight for him, even though he truly wished he could.

    Chen Feng sighed. "Dude, you are dragging me down here..." He had never expected that this miniature person, which had always been so helpful, would be such a letdown at such a crucial moment. The godly power flowed in without stop, yet it was the same as throwing stones into a sea.

    ...

    The god¡¯s expression was turning unsightly as well. He knew that Chen Feng¡¯s talent in godly power was poor. However, he had never expected it to be this poor. Previously, it had already been quite hard to push Chen Feng into the resonance realm. Now that he wanted to push Chen Feng into the apostle realm, it was indeed much more difficult than he had imagined. Unfortunately, he could only continue.

    Bang!

    Godly power surged out without stop. The god clenched his teeth and sent even more godly power out.

    He had decided to use his powerful godly power to push Chen Feng into the apostle realm no matter what. And thus, a terrifying number of waves of godly power surged in. All of them entered Chen Feng¡¯s sea of consciousness... the boundless godly power.

    Bang! Bang!

    Within his sea of consciousness, the miniature person weed the waves of godly power. The godly power that arrived in waves halted the instant they encountered the miniature person, then vanished. No matter how much godly power arrived, this continued. Chen Feng¡¯s sea of consciousness remained calm; not a single wave remained.

    ...

    Time slowly passed. One minute... Two minutes... Three minutes...

    "What are you guys doing?" The huge monkey scratched his had with a puzzled expression. "Lord God, hurry up and finish the contract."

    The huge monkey was truly confused. This god had said that he would turn Chen Feng into his apostle using the contract. Yet why was it that they both had been maintaining that weird pose for so long without moving?

    "..." As the god heard this, his face darkened. Even he wanted to ask the same question. The contract had obviously been sent out. His godly power had clearly been unleashed without holding anything back. Why? Why was nothing happening? This fellow... The god¡¯s expression became scarily unsightly.

    "..." Chen Feng was feeling rather awkward as well. What could he do? He was clear on what was going on. As such, after careful consideration, he cautiously said, "Why don¡¯t we forget about this?"

    Instantly, the god was infuriated. "Forget?" Are you looking down on me now? I am a god!

    He was furious. He felt like he had lost the prestige he should have as a god. All other gods only needed to casually wave their hands to make anything happen. Yet he, simrly a god, had failed every single time he had tried to show off. Moreover, so many awkward incidents seemed to be happening. Even worse was the fact that he had even lost an apostle to this. Was stopping even an option for him now? No, it was not! He had no choice but to grit his teeth and proceed.

    The god spoke coldly. "I said that I will turn you into an apostle. I will do what I said."

    Bang!

    A holy beam appeared. The god had actually intensified his godly power, unleashing his full power upon Chen Feng¡¯s body. At present, the god was shrouded in a dazzling radiance; he appeared iparably divine. As for the herculean apes, they all became filled with expectation when they saw this. So this was the so-called apostle¡¯s contract?

    Only Chen Feng knew clearly what was going on. Somewhat awkwardly, he watched on as the waterfall of godly power entered his sea of consciousness and vanished. So what if the amount of godly power was increased? It could not even start fusing with his sea of consciousness. It all...

    Just as Chen Feng was about to say something, suddenly, he felt like the miniature person¡¯splexion seemed to look better than before. This was not a misconception on his part. Rather, the miniature person¡¯splexion was truly looking better.

    Chen Feng was feeling doubtful. "Could it be..." Was the nourishment of godly power bringing about some change in the miniature person? That was quite possible. Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled. If so, it seemed like it wasn¡¯t a bad thing after all for the miniature person to absorb the godly power. He proceeded to try syncing with the miniature person, and he found with astonishment that his amplified strength had actually increasedpared to earlier.

    The miniature person had indeed improved. Was this the effect brought about by the godly power? Too strong!

    Chen Feng finally understood. "He is absorbing the godly power to improve." So it turned out that this was the manner in which the miniature person improved. However, this was quite an astonishing method of improvement. After all, godly power was not normally something one could obtain casually. Who would have guessed that this miniature person actually required godly power to improve?

    "If this is the case, things will be quite troublesome." Chen Feng smiled bitterly as he realized that if this was the case... he would never be an apostle in his entire life.

    Shua! Shua! Shua!

    Waves of godly power surged in. The lord god was still trying his very best to pour godly power into Chen Feng. Unfortunately for him, he did not realize that the godly power he was pouring in was working as fertilizer instead of the way he intended.

    Five minutes, eight minutes, 10 minutes...

    Finally, when it reached the point that even the god¡¯s expression was turning pale, he gave up. The apostle¡¯s contract had failed.

 Chapter 768: What an Unreliable Person

    Chapter 768: What an Unreliable Person

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The god sighed. "Your talent when ites to godly power is very bad." It was without a doubt that, after so many years of being a god, he had never encountered a life-form with such poor talent. So poor was Chen Feng¡¯s talent that he couldn¡¯t force Chen Feng into the apostle realm even if he wanted to. Was Chen Feng apletely talentless person? That did not seem likely, as he had sessfully be a resonator.

    Thus, it was clear that rather than beingpletely talentless, he simply had extremely poor talent. After all, he had required quite the effort on the god¡¯s part even when entering the resonance realm. With the higher difficulty posed by the apostle realm...

    "Failed?" The huge monkey nked. "This thing can actually fail?"

    Evidently, none of them had ever heard that the establishment of a contract of gods could actually fail. Theoretically, wasn¡¯t a god an almighty and omnipotent figure as far as a mortal was concerned?

    "..." As the god heard this, his face darkened. What could he say? Even as a god, this was the first time he had encountered something like this. Since he had encountered Chen Feng, he had felt like he was encountering one defeat after another. In order to prove that he was still a god, he decided to give it one more try even though he had exhausted arge amount of godly power in the previous attempt. Naturally, the target for this second attempt would not be Chen Feng.

    Suddenly, he pointed at the huge monkey. "Come." Although this huge monkey was much weaker than Chen Feng, he had still nevertheless reached the lowest requirements for bing an apostle. As such...

    Shua!

    He pointed at the huge monkey.

    Bang! Bang!

    His godly power surged out, and the apostle¡¯s contract appeared. Since this huge monkey wasparatively weaker, this process did not immediately seed. However, as the godly power surged, a golden radiance appeared around the huge monkey¡¯s body, slowly converging within him.

    Bang!

    With a loud boom, a shocking symbol flickered on the huge monkey¡¯s forehead. Apostle¡¯s contract: sess.

    The huge monkey howled, "Ao¡ª"

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    He started smacking himself in excitement. As he sensed the formidable prowess he now possessed, he was so excited that he couldn¡¯t control himself and started yelling. Sess! All the other herculean apes were endlessly excited as well. The god heaved a sigh of relief. Although the godly power he had exhausted was rather high, he had still seeded.

    His repeated failures with Chen Feng had truthfully caused him to lose no small amount of confidence in himself. He had even believed that he was no longer capable of promoting someone to the apostle realm. Now that he looked at it, the problem was not in him; it was this Chen Feng fellow... And thus, as the god reached a new conclusion, he grudgingly looked at Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng: "..." Bro, can you not look at me like I am some impotent person?

    The god patted the huge monkey¡¯s shoulder. "Henceforth, you are my apostle."

    "All right." The huge monkey was excited. He could feel a close connection between him and godly power. The moment he had be an apostle, his rtionship with the god had started to feel much more intimate than it had in the past. As such, he was naturally happy with this development.

    "As for you..." The god looked at Chen Feng with a distressed expression. "Your talent when ites to godly power is truly very poor. We can only take it slow."

    "Chen Feng failed to be an apostle?" The huge monkey finally realized what had happened, and he was suddenly excited. "Can I challenge him, then?"

    Among the herculean apes, strength was everything. As such, challenges were quite normal among them. Although they all respected Chen Feng greatly, they frequently had the desire to challenge him. This was especially true for the huge monkey, who had suffered numerous defeats at Chen Feng¡¯s hands. This time, with his sessful promotion and Chen Feng¡¯s failure, his instinctive reaction was to challenge Chen Feng. However, the moment his words left his mouth, the god dragged him away. What kind of joke was that? Had he not seen the wooden apostle earlier? Had that apostle not vanished upon fighting Chen Feng?

    After giving it some thought, the god was still unwilling to give up on Chen Feng and, in a serious tone, said, "I will think of a way to solve your issue."

    After all, the strength Chen Feng had demonstrated was truly too astonishing.

    Chen Feng could only smile bitterly. "All right." s, this wasn¡¯t an issue that could be solved easily. His fake nascent soul, which had been absorbing all the godly power... He probably had to look for the reason behind this before he could solve it. However, right at this moment, Chen Feng¡¯s acute senses were able to detect a fluctuation.

    Hum¡ª

    The fluctuation noiselessly arrived.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng was rmed. "Who is it?"

    It was the very first time he had sensed a fluctuation so clearly. The bizarre fluctuation flitted across before vanishing without a trace, as if it had never appeared. Chen Feng was startled, yet he could no longer find it. Earlier... With the turn of his head, he sensed something different, yet it vanished.

    The god looked at him curiously. "What¡¯s going on?"

    Suddenly, Chen Feng asked, "Did you not feel a fluctuation earlier?"

    "No." The god maintained his curious expression.

    Chen Feng: "..."

    Even a god hadn¡¯t felt it? But that had clearly been a fluctuation... Was it a misconception on his part? Chen Feng looked over at the miniature person, whoseplexion had improved once again. How could it be a misconception? That fluctuation that had rippled past had actually been absorbed by this miniature person, causing a drastic improvement in hisplexion.

    That familiar feeling... That fluctuation had to have appeared before as well. However, the past him had been too weak and had failed to detect it. But with this miniature person, which had also grown stronger, he had managed to detect that fluctuation.

    "Xiao Ying," Chen Feng said inwardly, "observe him for me. The moment it appeared..."

    Hum¡ª

    Xiao Ying flickered several times in response. Chen Feng was still wondering what that fluctuation had been. He felt like something had to have happened, even if this was just his intuition. Just as he was deep in thought, a loud boom carried over. It was akin to the rumble of ten-thousand peals of thunder. As it reached the mountain, the entire shrine boomed loudly, startling everyone present.

    The god was furious. "Who is it?" There were actually people daring enough toe mess around in his territory? He was truly furious now. It was fine for him to have lost his prestige in front of these monkeys, it was also fine to have lost his prestige facing Chen Feng, but now, the provocation had even reached his territory? He was an illustrious god, an almighty and majestic god! He would not tolerate this!

    Shua!

    With a sh, the god appeared at the entrance together with Chen Feng and the others. There, a group of people were shouting at the door.

    Hmph!

    The god snorted, "Feeling suicidal?"

    The huge monkey grinned. "Let me deal with them."

    "Good. Capture¡ª"

    Before the god could even finish his words, the huge monkey had already pounced forth. His huge size, his terrifying talent, and his present strength as an apostle caused him to shoot forth like an artillery shell.

    Bang!

    This "artillery shell"nded, and instantly, a huge portion of the group of people, who also possessed extraordinary strength, was killed off.

    "Capture and question..." The god failed toplete his sentence.

    The huge monkey turned around and smiled. "What?"

    The god¡¯s body stiffened. "Hehe, nothing." He had never killed an apostle. However, after giving it some thought, an apostle capable of reaching this ce should be the apostle of the other minor gods nearby. In that case, it did not matter even if they were killed by the huge monkey. After all, he did not fear those minor gods.

    "You... you all..." The only survivor of the group looked at the huge monkey in horror. He had evidently never expected that the huge monkey would truly dare to make a move. "You guys are courting death. A mere minor god..."

    "Bastard." The huge monkey pped him without hesitation.

    "I am an apostle from Mountcarve City..."

    Bang!

    The heavily injured apostle was transformed into mincemeat by the huge monkey¡¯s p.

    Mountcarve...

    The god had a bad premonition. His godly power surged out andnded on the forehead of one of the corpses. Next, an extremely familiar imprint appeared.

    "Prison." This was the word on the imprint.

    At this sight, the god¡¯s pupils shrunk. This was the apostle of one of the almighty gods of Mountcarve City, a god called Prison. Why were they here? No, now was not the time to ask this question. Suddenly, the god noticed an even bigger issue. The apostle of Prison had been killed by the huge monkey using the apostle power he had just granted the monkey not too long ago...

 Chapter 769: Itâ€™s Like You Are Joking

    Chapter 769: It¡¯s Like You Are Joking

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In Mountcarve City, a certain astonishing aura erupted suddenly. "How audacious of you!"

    Bang!

    That dreadful aura engulfed the entire city, causing all the life-forms in the area to tremble in fear.

    "God, this aura..."

    "Which idiot provoked this lord?"

    "Whoever it was, he is finished."

    "Leave quickly, lest we be caught up in this anger."

    Countless life-forms looked in the direction of the city center in shock. They started hastily leaving in fear of being caught up in the god¡¯s wrath.

    "Excellent. Since you want a battle, then a battle it shall be." Prison¡¯s killing intent surged. He had initially wanted to avoid killing, especially at a time like this when the number of gods was stillcking. The rules set in ce by the Sin God generally did not allow killing among gods. As such, after pondering the issue for a long time, he had decided to have his apostle pay that god a visit. Unexpectedly, his apostle had been directly killed. This was too excessive.

    "I told you earlier that it¡¯s pointless, trying to reason with these wild gods," A different god said in disdain. "They are barbarous and ignorant; they became gods through pure luck. Ultimately, they are still the lowest existences among gods."

    "Which god is that fellow?" Prison asked coldly.

    The other god curled his lips. "I don¡¯t know. Who would be bothered to know the title of a wild god?"

    Prison stood up. Instantly, a terrifying divine aura rippled out. He could forget about normal believers getting killed, but now that an apostle had been killed, he, as the god in question, couldn¡¯t not do anything. This was a conflict between gods, something apostles could not partake in. Since that god had provoked him into a battle between gods, he had to ept the challenge.

    "Looks like I have to personally take a trip there. Let me see clearly what kind of strength you have, for you to be so audacious as to kill my apostle."

    ...

    At this time, on a certain mountain, that god stared nkly at the corpse below him, then looked at the proud huge monkey. He nked for a long time as he came to terms with the fact that, just like that, he had provoked Prison.

    Good lord, Prison was a major god. This god felt a little light headed. Why had this happened out of the blue?

    "How are you?" The huge monkey looked at his god, who was presently rubbing his head with an unsightly expression. The huge monkey was somewhat confused as he wondered how a god could be gued by a sickness as simple as a headache. How odd.

    The god: "..." He looked at the huge monkey, who was seriously contemting this problem, but he didn¡¯t know how to answer the question. How should he say it?

    Should he tell the monkey that he was an idiot for not seeing clearly whose apostle this fellow was, and question the monkey for having the galls to kill him? Should he ask the monkey if he knew that what he had just done was the equivalent of provoking a war between two gods? He could not bring himself to say any of these things. The huge monkey had acted on his behalf. This apostle of Prison had indeed been too unbridled, causing the huge monkey to react violently, identally killing the apostle.

    In any case, the apostle was already dead. It was pointless to talk about all this. Regardless of how he felt, he had to calm himself down. He knew that he had to stay calm. What he was about to face was his most dangerous crisis yet since his ascension to godhood.

    "A major god..." s, his heart still chilled at the thought. He was among the lowest of the minor gods, so far apart from a major god¡ªtwo realms separated them. If he truly dared to fight Prison, he would not be able tost even a single round. They were inpletely different leagues.

    In short, he would never be able to defeat Prison, not in his entire life. At present, the only thing he could do was flee at top speed to preserve his life. As for this shrine of his... The god looked sourly at this mountain before him.

    This shrine, this room, everything here had been carved out by him personally with great difficulty. As a lone god, he had spent quite a lot of time toplete this shrine of his. Yet now... As of this moment, he appeared so very pitiful as he stood there.

    Evidently, he had never expected that, in a short few days, he would transform from a minor god with a little remote territory into a nomad god. What the hell was this? Was it even a good thing for him to have encountered Chen Feng and the huge monkey? Even he could not answer this question.

    He clenched his teeth as he decided to escape with everyone. "Let¡¯s go."

    The huge monkey scratched his head in confusion, evidently yet to realize what just happened. He was wondering why this god had stood still for a long time after seeing the imprint on the corpse¡¯s head before suddenly deciding to take them all away. What was going on?

    Chen Feng sank into contemtion. "Prison." He had heard of this god as well. Prison was one of the major gods residing in Mountcarve City, and he was quite a big shot. Why had his apostlee in the first ce? Oh, right, it must have been because of the believers around Mountcarve City. Chen Feng understood clearly. This was the only reason that could have caused that god to send someone here.

    Unfortunately for the apostle, he had been too arrogant, believing that nobody would dare to make a move against him, and had thus instantly transformed into a corpse.

    "I see." Chen Feng understood everything. In short, this pitiful god of theirs was once again being made a scapegoat.

    "Let¡¯s go." Chen Feng patted the huge monkey¡¯s shoulder as he exined, "There are too many of us. Therefore, we need to look for a new home."

    "Ao." The huge monkey sighed with sorrow. "So it seems like nowadays, even being a god is quite difficult, huh?"

    And thus, on this day, within an hour of the huge monkey killing the apostle, the god brought Chen Feng and the herculean apes and fled, leaving behind an empty mountain. The cold breeze brushed past, and the absolutely empty shrine looked so pitiful.

    Shortly after, with a flickering of light, two terrifying figures descended. They were Prison and apanion of his that was also a major god. Prison had initially nned toe alone. However, hispanion was of the opinion that there might be a trap here, since the opponent had provoked them out of the blue.

    As they¡¯d thought about how some gods had perished in such a manner in the past, they had decided toe together. And yet, what they saw was a pitiful empty mountain. On the ground, the corpse of the apostle was still sprawled about. It was clear that nobody had bothered to clean this ce up. As for the shrine, it waspletely empty.

    Prison frowned. "Where is he?" He did not believe that a god daring enough to kill his apostle would actually flee from him.

    "Temporarily out?" the other god guessed.

    "Let us wait here, then," said Prison. He had to deal with the death of his apostle.

    This was especially true because he could see how, even in death, his apostle¡¯s eyes had been wide open, evidently not believing that he would die in such a manner.

    "Sure." The other god concealed his aura and waited.

    One hour...

    Two hours...

    Five hours...

    Ten hours...

    ...

    And just like that, one day passed. It was not until the end of the second day that Prison epted a certain fact with great reluctance: the god with the galls to kill his apostle had actually escaped!

    Chapter 770: Start Snatching Recruits

    "Nothing. Nothing."

    Prison searched the entire shrine but found nothing. All of that god¡¯s belongings had been taken away. However, a lot of the things here still had lingering traces of a god¡¯s aura, proving that just recently, a god had been residing here. Yet now he was gone.

    The other god analyzed the traces. "From the godly power, this should be a minor god."

    Prison was furious. "Since it¡¯s a minor god, why was he brave enough to kill my apostle?"

    "Mhm..." The other god gave it some thought before shaking his head. "Nobody can answer that question."

    Prison raged. "Search for him! I refuse to believe that I can¡¯t find him!" He was filled with anger, but he was unable to find an avenue to vent it. Therefore, he summoned his apostles and believers and had them search. s, they ultimately failed to find even a single clue. That god had seemingly vanished, leaving behind only some traces of godly power on the corpses here. Apart from this, no other clues were found.

    In the first ce, this territory was in the outermost border of Mountcarve City. Not far away was the territory of a different god. Due to the struggle for faith, the rtionship between these gods of different territories was definitely not good. As such, it would be fundamentally impossible for him to get the help of the gods of the other territories in his search.

    Moreover, nobody had a clue as to where that god had escaped. If he decided to stop using his godly power and focus purely on concealing himself, apart from the great Sin God, no other gods could find him.

    "The day wille when he appears."

    Prison gnashed his teeth. In his hand was the tiny amount of that god¡¯s godly power that he had gathered. With this, the moment that god showed himself, he would know immediately. So long as he sensed a simr godly power, he would be able to locate that god.

    Naturally, even more important was the fact that this god had taken away the thousand-plus tribes surrounding Mountcarve City. There were so many life-forms; how had that god been able to bring them all along? Or perhaps he had a destination in mind?

    Suddenly, the other god spoke. "I have a bad premonition. Could this perhaps be the work of the gods of the nearby cities? They may have wanted to expand their pool of believers and thus stole the tribes from our territory?"

    Prison shook his head without hesitation. "That is not possible. They would not do such a thing."

    Since none of those gods would dare do such a thing!

    That was because doing something like that was equivalent to severing one¡¯s foundation. It would bring about a major grudge. If they did that and were discovered, a huge battle would ensue. At that time, a true war between the gods would erupt, and they would be mortal enemies. After all, it was impossible for any of the cities near them to conceal the number of missing tribes.

    "Who could it have been, then?"

    "I don¡¯t know. The believers of the nearby cities have all said that they have not noticed any exceptions."

    "How can more than 1,000 tribes, with several million tribesmen, vanish into thin air? Who exactly was that god? And why did he do this?"

    Prison could not understand this. The same could be said of hispanion. All the gods of Mountcarve City spent a long time contemting this, yet they failed to figure out the reason. None of them could have guessed that their line of thought was totally wrong. All of this was in fact not the work of that god; he had merely been made a scapegoat.

    "Continue the search. We must determine the reason. However, we must also focus on a different issue." Prison sighed deeply. "If we fail to find the 1,000 missing tribes, what should we do?"

    This was the most heart-wrenching issue. More than 1,000 tribes had gone missing. They were the foundations of Mountcarve City. Without them, in theing decades, Mountcarve City would not have any new believers. This was the scariest issue.

    "What should we do?"

    This was what they had to focus on. After returning, Prison and the other god discussed with the others. They spent several days in discussion, and after confirming that it was impossible to find the missing tribes, they had no choice but to use their backup n.

    "Let¡¯s start recruiting."

    "Recruiting?"

    "Yes. Offer better terms secretly to the tribes nearby and get them to move over voluntarily to be part of Mountcarve City."

    In short, they were going to steal recruits from other gods.

    "This... is not very good, right?"

    "Do you have a better idea?"

    "No."

    "Us providing a better offer is simply healthypetition. With the unique circumstances we are in, we have to use unique methods. We must replenish the lost tribes as soon as possible. Otherwise, Mountcarve City will definitely fall in the not too distant future."

    "Understood."

    "Sacrifice short-term gains for long-term gains. This shall be our current focus."

    "Understood."

    "We don¡¯t even need to give too good an offer. We don¡¯t have to steal all their tribes. We only need to steal a bit from each city. That will be sufficient."

    "Understood."

    "Remember, do not recruit too excessively. We do not wish to provoke the gods of all these cities."

    "Understood."

    And thus, soon after, the news of the recruitment noiselessly began to spread. And with that, some tribes truly started secretly moving over. As for the gods of the other cities, they all noticed this development as well.

    "Mountcarve City has crossed the line."

    "However, they have been careful to not do anything that might trigger a war between gods."

    "Even so, they can¡¯t do that, right?"

    "I advise you guys to not get involved in this. I heard that something recently happened to them. More than 1,000 tribes went missing, and their outer region has beenpletely emptied. That is why they are doing this."

    "Is that for real?"

    "Of course. Therefore, do not ce too many restrictions on them. Otherwise, if they really fail to recruit even a single believer, they will probably start to go crazy. At that time, a true war between the gods will erupt."

    "Hiss. Fine, forget it. However, we can¡¯t allow them to continue doing this, right?"

    "Dealing with this is easy. Put out some preferential offers as well and aim the offers at those with the potential to be apostles. Give them the best resources and treatment so as to retain the gifted ones. As for the rest... Well, thosecking ambition or talent can be given up at any time."

    "That will do."

    The gods of the other cities all reached a decision.

    Their ultimate decision was to retain the gifted ones with preferential treatment, while thecking ones would be allowed to freely travel to Mountcarve City. This was in fact a different method of filtering out the undesirables. Toward this, Mountcarve City was helpless.

    At present, the outer region of their territory waspletely empty. As such, they had to take what they could. Even those deemed undesirables could not be rejected. To deal with the preferential treatment the other cities were offering, they had no choice but to sacrifice more and spend more resources to recruit the better-quality ones. However, the vast majority of the gifted ones, those with the potential to reach the apostle realm, were not willing to move.

    Just like this, a cold war started. Unexpectedly, this instead resulted in peace among these few cities, who would otherwise still have had minor skirmishes every now and then. As for now, it was a pure battle for resources. At this time, Chen Feng and the rest, who were fleeing together with the god, also heard this news.

    All the majorpanies have started fighting over recruits. This was Chen Feng¡¯s first thought when he heard. Due to the abrupt bankruptcy of a certain training and recruitment agency, Mountcarve Company was nowcking in talent. Helpless, they had no choice but to start recruiting from the otherpanies. As for the otherpanies, they had started to increase the pay to retain their own talent. This was what Chen Feng saw.

    And this... would be the perfect chance for him.

 Chapter 771: Legend

    Chapter 771: Legend

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Chen Feng¡¯s current strength was rather bizarre. He was around level 10 resonance, right at the peak of resonance. After the amplification effect, hisbat power was equivalent to a level 1 apostle. Yet he had discovered something astonishing: he was not able to improve beyond his current level, since he was incapable of resonating with a god.

    Even his current level 10 resonance had been achieved with great difficulty with the help of this god. It was a realm he would not be able to reach through his ownprehension.

    Under normal circumstances, the god would merely act as a bridge and help one enter the realm of resonance. As for the rest, one would have to rely on one¡¯s ownprehension. As for Chen Feng, he had received preferential treatment from the god and been fed a huge amount of godly power. Even so, he had only been able to reach level 10 resonance.

    Even if the god wanted to push him into the resonance realm, the god couldn¡¯t. What about Chen Fengprehending the godly power by himself and improving naturally? That was nearly impossible. As such, Chen Feng was seemingly stuck, no longer able to improve. Just like the god had guessed, it was very possible that Chen Feng might be forever stuck at this stage.

    "Resonance, huh?" Chen Feng sighed. The realm of resonance was where one startedprehending their god¡¯s godly power. Regretfully, hisprehension was nearly nonexistent.

    "How can this be?" Chen Feng scratched his head. Why couldn¡¯t he resonate? Once again, he triedprehending godly power, but as usual, there was no reaction whatsoever.

    "Sure enough."

    He no longer had any hope ofprehension. If so, there was only one method left for him to increase his strength. He had to rely on this fake nascent soul of his. He had discovered earlier that, upon absorbing godly power, this fellow would improve. With that, the amplification effect would be smoother, better, and even stronger.

    It was quite hard to put into words. For instance, if the previous amplification value had been 10 times 10, now, it had seemingly changed to 10 times 10 times 1. This was a rather odd change, as the final value was essentially the same. No, to be more urate, after the improvement of his miniature person that one time, it had seemingly changed to 10 times 10 times 1.001. Naturally, this was the new amplification rate for his resonance realm, which was somewhat different than the amplification in the awakened realm, since this realm was greater.

    The improvement was extremely minute. However, did this not signify that a new avenue for increasing his strength had been discovered? Chen Feng¡¯s body was still incapable of surpassing level 10 resonance. However, what if the amplification effect improved without stop? What if that "1" at the back continued to increase? Would it be a 2, a 3, or perhaps something even bigger? Perhaps it might even reach 10?

    This would give Chen Feng even greaterbat power, reaching that of a level 1,000 resonator and would be quite an astonishing improvement. Naturally, this required his fake nascent soul to be able to absorb sufficient godly power to ultimately further enhance his amplification effect. Should he get the god to provide him with some sort of sponsor?

    Instinctively, Chen Feng looked over at the god only to see a pale and weakened appearance. Ultimately, he was too embarrassed to ask for more from this god. Forget it. This god was already pitiful enough due to them. There was no need for him to further harm the god. Naturally, more important was the fact that, given the god¡¯s appearance, it was obvious that he had yet to recover from the excessive exhaustion when he had tried to increase Chen Feng¡¯s realm. As such, he would not be able to help even if he wanted to.

    "Looks like I have to look for other gods."

    Chen Feng set his sights on the recruitment project of the several major cities, and he was extremely tempted.

    Chen Fengughed. "A cold war?"

    ...

    At this time, the struggle over believers had slowly unfolded. Every single day, news spread about so-and-so genius getting recruited by so-and-so city, or about so-and-so city providing generouspensation and being worth joining. Whatever the case, Mountcarve City was the weakest party in this conflict. There was only one reason for this: theirck of foundation.

    Having lost the 1,000-plus tribes around them, their surroundings were now empty. Even when other geniuses were willing toe, they had to migrate their families and start from scratch here. Even for geniuses, this brought about much pressure. Therefore, despite Mountcarve City¡¯s more generouspensation, they still managed to obtain the fewest recruits. Of course, this was only taking into consideration the geniuses. As for themon and weak tribes, Mountcarve City had gained the most.

    "Yet anothermon tribe?"

    "Yes."

    "How many have we obtained?"

    "Over 300 tribes."

    "I am asking about those with the potential to be apostles..."

    "Oh, not one so far."

    "..."

    Even with more than 300 tribes recruited, not a single one had the potential to be apostles. This was their present crisis. If this progressed, they would have no choice but to ce their hope in the future of these tribes rather than the present them. Nevertheless, this was still some sort of hope.

    "It¡¯s fine. Even if our present apostles will be lower in amount, so long as the future of Mountcarve City is guaranteed, everything will be fine."

    "Understood."

    They continued recruiting, but with little hope of anyone with the potential to be an apostle joining them. Surprisingly, recently, a piece of news had been spreading, news that rmed even the gods of Mountcarve City. An extraordinary genius called Chen Feng was heading toward Mountcarve City.

    "Chen Feng?"

    "Extraordinary?"

    The gods of Mountcarve City were somewhat stupefied. Why had they never heard of this genius?

    "It is said that he is a recently emerged genius," the apostle exined. "He is only at the resonance realm, yet his strength is extremely terrifying. He can even contend against veteran apostles. It is said that a certain minor god personally tried to recruit him but was rejected. This person possessed extraordinary talent."

    As the gods of Mountcarve City heard this, their hearts burned with desire. There was such a person?

    "Why did you guys not present a report about him in the past?" Prison asked in a sonorous voice.

    The underling smiled bitterly. "Erm... Everyone is clear on the situation we are in. None of us expected that this person would actually head over here..."

    Prison took in a deep breath. "It doesn¡¯t matter. It¡¯s good that he is willing toe. When he arrives, I shall personally receive him."

    The underling¡¯s heart trembled. "Ah? You are going personally?"

    Heavens, Lord Prison was a major god with several dozen apostles. Yet he was willing to personally wee the arrival of a single apostle?

    "In unique circumstances, we must take unique actions." Prison smiled. "Furthermore, I have never seen anyone in the resonance realm capable of contending against an apostle. I shall go expand my knowledge. And if this person is here representing a tribe, perhaps... What we stand to gain is more than a single apostle!" Prison said profoundly.

    The underling nodded. "Understood." Soon, this news spread throughout Mountcarve City. Everyone knew that a resonator would arrive and that Lord Prison would personally receive him. This caused all the apostles to feel envy and hatred,menting the fact that this fellow had arrived at such an opportune time. Apart from a time like this, could a mere resonator ever receive such treatment?

    Early the next day, numerous experts focused their gaze on the entrance to Mountcarve City. There, Prison and several apostles were waiting. Not far away, a figure gradually appeared.

    Everyone¡¯s heart trembled. "He¡¯s here."

    Prison looked at the youth in front of him, doubt in his eyes. "You are Chen Feng?"

    Chen Feng bowed slightly. "Yes. Lord God."

    "Are you willing to be my apostle?" Prison asked with a deep voice.

    As far as Prison was concerned, since this Chen Feng had traveled so far to reach here, his intention had to be bing the apostle of a major god. In Mountcarve City, Prison was the strongest major god.

    "That depends on whether you are qualified, esteemed one," Chen Feng said, polite as ever. s, these words of his were like a bomb that triggered the fury of all the life-forms present.

    "Audacious!"

    "Do you know who you are talking to?"

    "How egotistical."

    Countless life-forms were furious. Even though Mountcarve City was in a crisis, that did not mean that anyone could view them with such contempt. Perhaps Mountcarve City¡¯s strength would drop slightly in the future. However, right now, they were still undeniably a powerhouse. As for Prison, he was the strongest god in the city.

    Now, a mere resonator dared provoke their god? He was courting death! The eyes of all the apostles and gods were now filled with killing intent.

    Prisonughed. "Qualified?"

    "Yes." Calm as ever, Chen Feng exined, "In fact, I am fine with being the apostle of any god. Perhaps you have heard some rumors about me. s, those rumors are erroneous."

    Prison¡¯s interest was piqued. "Oh?"

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "I did not reject that god. On the contrary, I was extremely willing to be that god¡¯s apostle. Regretfully, the apostle¡¯s contract failed to be established."

    "Failed?" Prison was astonished. This was the first time he had ever heard of something like this.

    Chen Feng nodded. "That¡¯s right. That god said that my growth during the resonance realm was too excessive. As such, regr gods will be unable to establish a contract with me. For the contract to be sessfully established, an even stronger god, one of a higher level, will be required."

    As everyone heard this, they took in a deep breath in shock. There was such a thing? How strong was this fellow to be repelling gods? This was too astonishing.

    "I see." Deep curiosity appeared in Prison¡¯s eyes. There was actually such a thing. If he could make this youth his apostle, perhaps he would be able to attract even more experts.

    "Come, let us go establish the contract," Prison said in excitement.

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "Let¡¯s do it here. After that god, I found two other gods to try it out as well. All failed without exception. Therefore, let us establish the contract here so that when it fails, I can immediately go look for the next god."

    Prison: "..."

    This was the very first time he had received such a cold shoulder.

    Prison inhaled deeply. "Fine, this is also eptable." Under everyone¡¯s gaze, he started to establish the apostle¡¯s contract.

    Hum¡ª

    A flickering imprint appeared. This was an apostle¡¯s imprint. The contract started descending andnded on Chen Feng¡¯s forehead. Terrifying godly power surged out and poured into his forehead.

    Chen Feng¡¯s mood became solemn. "Here ites." He assumed the proper pose and calmed himself, seemingly trying to endure the infusion of godly power.

    Bang! Bang!

    Godly power far stronger than that of the minor god poured into his body.

    Chen Feng was shocked. "So this is the strength of a major god?" Without a doubt, Prison¡¯s godly power was much greater than that minor god¡¯s. Whether in terms of quantity or quality, he surpassed that god by far. So strong was the godly power that Chen Feng even started to wait expectantly for the moment that he finally became an apostle. Perhaps he could truly be an apostle here? And yet, shortly afterward, reality showed Chen Feng that he was being too wishful.

    Bang!

    Waves of godly power poured into him.

    The miniature person was still as calm as ever, absorbing all the godly power that arrived, not leaving anything behind. Regardless of the quality or quantity of the godly power, everything was cleaned up.

    "Huh?" Prison was astonished. He had poured quite a huge amount of godly power in, yet there was still no reaction? This person called Chen Feng was indeed rather special. Since this was the case, he might as well increase the amount of godly power and see what happened. He refused to believe that a mere resonator could resist him.

    Bang!

    An even more terrifying amount of godly power poured in. Initially, Chen Feng had still had a tiny amount of hope in his heart that he would be able to be an apostle. s, that little amount of hope was crushed as the miniature person absorbed all the godly power without stop. Toward the end, Chen Feng merely watched on in boredom as this unfolded.

    Mhm...

    Not a single bit of godly power was left for him. All was absorbed by this miniature person. A nascent soul indeed.

    Prison began to frown. "Mhm?" At this time, he finally realized how thorny this issue was. However, Chen Feng¡¯s words from earlier had put on something of a spot. As such, he had no choice but to continue increasing the intensity of his godly power with a frown on his face, hoping that this fellow would quickly be his apostle.

    One minute...

    Two minutes...

    Five minutes...

    Ten minutes...

    Finally, Prison started to turn pale. This Chen Feng¡¯s body was like a bottomless pit with no end. Regardless of the amount of godly power that entered, it was still insufficient to turn him into an apostle. Could it be that... even he, Prison, was not qualified to be this fellow¡¯s god?

    "Damn it." Prison finally stopped gloomily. The entirety of Mountcarve Citypsed into silence. As for the apostles and the others that were watching on happily, their hearts jolted furiously at this moment. Evidently, they had never expected that Lord Prison would truly fail.

    "Indeed..." Chen Feng¡¯s expression dimmed, seemingly not surprised by this at all.

    "Are you not surprised?" a god asked.

    "What is there to be surprised about?" Chen Feng sighed. "Among the gods I encountered previously, one of them was a major god as well. Even he failed."

    Shua!

    Everyonepsed into silence.

    "However, that lord did tell me of a way out of this predicament. He said that I am too strong. If I want to be an apostle, there are only two methods. The first is to find a god with sufficient godly power to satisfy the requirement for transforming me into an apostle. With an absolute amount of godly power, such a god could change me. At that time, I might be the strongest apostle in existence."

    Slowly, Chen Feng continued, "The second method is to look for a god that ispletelypatible with me. The moment our resonance reaches a certain level, the apostle¡¯s contract will naturally be sessfully established."

    Compatibility... Everyone sank into silence. The probability of finding such a god... How low was it?

    "That is why I came." Chen Feng gazed into the distance and continued, "My goal is to traverse the world in search of my true god. At that time, I will give my heart and soul to him!"

    Prisonughed bitterly. "Seems like I don¡¯t have the chance to obtain your loyalty, then." Everyone could clearly see Chen Feng¡¯s potential. For him to be able to contend against an apostle at the resonance realm, how strong would he be in the future? The moment he became an apostle, his strength would skyrocket. At that time, what height would he reach? For an expert like this to not be under me... Suddenly, killing intent emerged in Prison¡¯s heart.

    However, as he saw the countless gazes watching him, he ultimately eliminated such thoughts. Finally, he understood the reason Chen Feng had insisted on establishing the contract here.

    Chen Feng looked at the other gods. "Are there any lords here interested in giving it a try?" Earlier, when Prison had been attempting to establish the contract, the other gods had arrived. As they heard his question, they all instinctively looked over at Prison.

    "You guys give it a try as well," Prison said after giving it some thought. Even though he couldn¡¯t keep Chen Feng for himself, it would still be good if Chen Feng could be kept in this city.

    "All right," the other gods answered. And thus, a new round of contract establishment began.

    Shua! Shua!

    Godly power started surging out. With Prison as the example, they all poured out their godly power at full power from the very start, hoping to establish the contract in a single push.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Boundless godly power surged into Chen Feng. s, regardless of the amount, not a single one of them seeded. Once again, Chen Feng¡¯s path toprehending godly power was cut short as the nascent soul reaped all the benefits. Ultimately, only a bunch of pale gods were left behind. Their godly power had all been squeezed clean, yet none of them had met the requirements for making Chen Feng an apostle.

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. "Looks like I will have to continue roaming about."

    The gods could only keep their silence. What could they say? This fellow had only arrived so he could be an apostle. Now that he had failed to be an apostle, he had no choice but to leave. Prison truly wanted to keep Chen Feng here. Unfortunately, he could not do so. He was sure that the moment he tried to force Chen Feng to stay, people would stoping to Mountcarve City willingly. Moreover, even the existing apostles of Mountcarve City would object to this. A such, he could only watch on as Chen Feng left.

    "This fellow..." Prison stared into the distance. As a major god, even after exhausting all his power, he had still failed to meet Chen Feng¡¯s requirements. If so, who could be Chen Feng¡¯s true god? An even higher-level god? Or perhaps Chen Feng would truly be able to meet a god he waspatible?

    Prison had no idea. However, here and now, with Chen Feng¡¯s departure, a new legend began to spread in thesends. A legend about Chen Feng, his strength, and his true god.

 Chapter 773 - Plan Seen Through

    Chapter 773: n Seen Through

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    ¡°Hey, have you heard? A rather popr resonator appeared recently...¡±

    ¡°Ah, yes, I have heard of him. He¡¯s called Chen Feng, right? I heard that, because he is too strong, even his god was unable to satisfy the requirement for turning him into an apostle. That is why he has to travel thends in search of the strongest god.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, I heard that only the strongest of the gods will be able to turn him into an apostle.¡±

    ¡°Is that for real?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not sure. However, it is said that a lot of gods are looking for him now...¡±

    ¡°Ah? What for?¡±

    ¡°To prove themselves, I suppose? A lot of major gods have failed. Therefore, a huge number of gods are hoping that they will be the strongest god, the one that seeds in subduing this Chen Feng. In any case, there aren¡¯t any losses even if they fail in their attempts. But if they seed, their gain will be enormous. Whichever god seeds will be able to attract an evenrger number of resonators to his side, am I right?¡±

    ¡°Moreover, the moment a god seeds... Hehe, he¡¯s already capable of contending against an apostle while in the resonance realm. How powerful will he be after bing an apostle?¡±

    ...

    Simr discussions were being repeated everywhere. Just like this, the legend surrounding Chen Feng began to spread. Interestingly, in addition to the major gods, those weak minor gods were looking for him as well. These gods didn¡¯t think they were stronger than the major gods. Rather, they were trying their luck to see if they were thepatible one. With so many gods in existence, there ought to be one that waspatible with Chen Feng. What if they themselves happened to be the one?

    As such, the major gods wanted to prove their prowess, and the minor gods wanted to try their luck and see if they were thepatible one. And thus, without Chen Feng personally seeking them out, the gods appeared before him one after another. Right outside Mountcarve City, a long line had formed, a line of gods waiting to establish a contract with Chen Feng. This sight stunned all life-forms.

    ¡°Something like this has actually happened?¡±

    ¡°Too strong.¡±

    ¡°For him to reach this level as a mere resonator, he is truly the first in history...¡±

    ¡°Won¡¯t a god make a move against him in anger?¡±

    ¡°Heh, with so many major gods watching on attentively, who would dare?¡±

    ¡°True.¡±

    ...

    At this time, unknown to anyone, beyond the blue dome of heaven, on a certain summit where a shrine that all gods looked up to was located, a certain god had also heard of this.

    ¡°The strongest apostle? Chen Feng?¡± Ye was astonished. He had never expected that this new world he had created would have such an expert. The entire human world had been used away by him to serve as his supply of believers. As such, his power of faith was something no god couldpare with, since humanity¡¯s billions were monopolized by him alone.

    And thus he had never bothered much about this new world he had created. Yet now...

    ¡°Such a life-form has actually been birthed here?¡±

    He was filled with a little anticipation.

    One ought to know that this brand-new world was not the world that had been created by the Creation God. Rather, this world had been personally created by the Sin God. And now, finally, a true expert had been birthed in his world. This filled him with gratification.

    ¡°Chen Feng...¡± he mumbled in silence.

    Suddenly, he said, ¡°Zero.¡±

    A figure appeared with a sh. ¡°Here.¡±

    ¡°Go and take a look,¡± Ye said with an amused expression. ¡°I want to see clearly exactly how strong this so-called strongest apostle is.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Instantly, Zero vanished.

    ¡°Chen Feng...¡± Ye muttered. This name gave him a rather odd feeling. Was this feeling due to this Chen Feng being the first such existence to have ever appeared on his created world? Hopefully that was truly the case. At this time, in Mountcarve City, Chen Feng was being showered by the godly powers of the various gods. One could even say that this was a baptism of sorts.

    Due to the huge number of gods that had gathered here, Prison had provided a venue for them to try their hand at the contract, so as to not waste any time. After all, he still wished for these gods to leave as soon as possible instead of dallying around here.

    And thus, within the provided venue, Chen Feng could be seen assuming various poses as he received the various gods¡¯ ¡°sponsorships.¡± That posture of his...

    ¡°Tsk tsk.¡± The huge monkey was endlessly amazed. ¡°Will this truly be fine?¡±

    He had never seen anyone that could still stay fine after receiving so much godly power.

    ¡°I guess so?¡± By his side, that minor god was filled with anxiousness as well. This was the very first time he had seen so many gods in one ce. Naturally, the only reason he even dared to appear here was due to the excessively huge number of gods that had gathered here.

    Shua! Shua!

    Godly power surged out without stop. After one god was done, the next god would step forth immediately. s, regardless of whether it was a major or minor god, not a single one of them was able to cause any sort of change in Chen Feng. Every single time, the same disappointed expression could be seen on Chen Feng¡¯s face. Disappointment, regret, expectation toward the next god, and a small amount of indifference after the excessive number of failures.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng had a feeling that with this performance of his, if he was to return to his previous life, he could probably obtain an Oscars Award or something. Naturally, his present focus was the growth of the miniature person. Thanks to the enthusiastic gods, his rate of growth had been incredibly rapid, so rapid that he himself dared not believe it.

    The initially doll-like miniature person was nowpletely lifelike. Each motion or expression of Chen Feng¡¯s could now be perfectly synced with this miniature person, and Chen Feng and the miniature person were resembling each other more and more. Simrly, Chen Feng¡¯sbat prowess was rocketing as well. The initial multiplier of 1.001 had started increasing thanks to the nourishment from the various gods. From 1.002 to 1.008 to 1.02 to 1.05 to 1.1... until, ultimately, when a huge majority of the gods here had tried their hands, this multiplier reached a terrifying number: 10!

    This signified that Chen Feng¡¯s strength had reached a brand-new height. The amplification of his resonance realm was now 10 times 10 times 10.

    Hum¡ª

    Suddenly, the world before his eyes appeared even clearer. With every move, he could keenly sense the vitality filling this world. Now he did not even need to spare any of his attention to sync with the miniature person within him. The miniature person was now able to automatically sync with him at all times. As for him, he had reached a certain apex.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled. ¡°Is this the peak of this fake nascent soul?¡± He could feel that he was now in a rather wondrous state. In the past, every time he had wanted to disy the amplification effect of the miniature person, he¡¯d had to focus on it. Now that was no longer required.

    ¡°I am still a level 10 resonator. As for mybat power, it is around level 1,000 resonance. As for a so-called level 1 apostle, theirbat power is in fact equivalent to level 100 resonance. Therefore, I am now capable of crushing all apostles.¡±

    He was overwhelmed by emotion. Where in the past he could have defeated only level 1 apostles, now he could ignore a huge number of the apostles in existence. At present, as Chen Feng sank into contemtion, the area surrounding himpsed into silence.

    Evidently, nobody had expected that the numerous gods that had arrived would fail to bring Chen Feng a breakthrough. Not a single one of them had seeded.

    ¡°How has this happened?¡±

    ¡°Is he too strong for these gods?¡±

    Suddenly, a certain apostle thought of something. ¡°It is also possible that his talent is truly too poor.¡±

    ¡°Talent...¡±

    It was at this point that, for the very first time, everyone started to pursue this line of thought.

    After all, gods were too powerful. As such, generally, they would be able to push one into the apostle realm no matter what. The only exception was when one¡¯s talent was too poor.

    A certain god had a pensive look. ¡°In short, you mean to say that...¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± The apostle sneered. ¡°It might not have been odd if only one god failed, but several hundred gods have failed... This caused me to think of an entirely different possibility for all these failures. Could it be that... his talent is too poor, resulting in him being incapable of bing an apostle? That is why he came out with such a scheme to trick all the gods into helping him enter the apostle realm.¡±

    Hua¡ª

    Instantly, all the gods seemed to realize something. None of them were idiots. When the so-called legend shrouding Chen Feng was peeled apart, when they started analyzing this matter at the source, they found that this might truly be the case. This person called Chen Feng...

    Shua!

    Everyone looked over at Chen Feng, killing intent pervading the air.

    ¡°Gulp.¡±

    The minor god that had previously been watching on for fun was suddenly nervous. It was over. Their scheme had been seen through. That¡¯s right. This was in fact what Chen Feng had nned, or to be more urate, this was what Chen Feng had told this minor god. He had nned to use this method to be an apostle. At that time, all the resonators of the herculean apes would belong solely to this minor god. Moreover, a god capable of pushing Chen Feng into the apostle realm would most certainly be a major god. At that time, this minor god would be able to establish a connection with a major god with the help of Chen Feng.

    This would be a good thing for him, so he had agreed to Chen Feng¡¯s n. s, he had never expected that even with so many gods, they would all fail. Ultimately, at thest moment, this farce of Chen Feng¡¯s had been seen through. This time, things would be getting troublesome.

    ¡°Who are you? And who is your god?¡± that apostle asked in a cold tone. ¡°With this method, you are trying to make a fool out of all the gods in existence? Hehe...¡± Only the apostles could analyze this with a clear mind. The minds of all the gods here had already been muddled by the ¡°number 1 resonator,¡± ¡°future strongest apostle,¡± and ¡°strongest god¡± that Chen Feng had been harping about. Only the apostles were still able to see clearly and analyze this matter. All along, this farce had been nothing but a joke.

    Bang!

    Killing intent surged out and pervaded the air. The killing intent emanated by the more than 100 gods here caused even the gods of Mountcarve City to be afraid that this city would identally get destroyed by these furious gods.

    At this moment, all attention was focused on Chen Feng. Regardless of the apostles or gods, they all required an exnation. Due to Chen Feng, more than 100 gods and around 300 to 400 apostles had gathered here. As for the number of resonators, it was countless. They all needed an exnation.

    Bang!

    Terrifying pressure descended. Such an oppressive mood was sufficient to cause even a minor god to copse. And yet Chen Feng remained calm. He had already entered an extremely unique state with hispleted fake nascent soul. The gods¡¯ so-called oppressive auras were nothing more special to him than regr auras.

    Chen Feng looked at that apostle. ¡°Who are you?¡±

    ¡°Shi Yong, apostle of the Chill Wind God,¡± he proudly said, evidently pleased with his aplishment of identifying this farce before all the gods and apostles here. He hoped that with the reputation he had brought his god, perhaps his god would obtain even more believers in the future.

    ¡°What is your strength?¡± Chen Feng asked with a smile.

    ¡°Level 9 apostle,¡± Shi Ying said confidently. After all, his god wasn¡¯t one of those newly ascended minor gods. Rather, his god was a true major god. As for him, he was a formidable existence that had existed since the Primordial Era back then. He had only reached this realm after several millennia of cultivation.

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. ¡°In short, you are an existence iparably close to a god?¡±

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Shi Ying started radiating arrogance. Even though there was still arge gap between one at the peak of the apostle realm and a god, it would still be correct to consider such an apostle as an existence closest to a god. And in the future, after reaching level 10 apostle, he might even be able to try ascending into godhood to be a subsidiary god of the Chill Wind God. This was the greatest aplishment for an apostle.

    ¡°Very good.¡± Chen Feng was extremely satisfied with his answer. ¡°Well then...¡± He stood up and fixed his gaze on Shi Yong. ¡°Do battle with me!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Shi Yong thought he had heard wrong. As for the observers around them, their eyes went wide as well. Challenge? What joke was this? Shi Yong was a level 9 apostle!

    As the apostle of a major god, as a formidable existence that had cultivated for so many years, even among apostles, this Shi Yong wasparably powerful. As for Chen Feng, he was nevertheless still a mere resonator.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you doubt me?¡± Chen Feng chuckled. ¡°All your doubts are based on the assumption that I am stuck at this realm due to my poor talent, that I am exploiting these gods to help me break through. However... I am sorry. I do not require such help. The only reason I want to enter the apostle realm is so that I can be stronger. Nevertheless, even without breaking through, I, Chen Feng, am still the strongest of believers, still a legend, even though I am a mere resonator. I am still the strongest existence below gods. Poor talent?¡± A look of disdain appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. ¡°Come have a taste of my strength.¡±

    Shua!

    Chen Feng took a single step forward.

    Bang!

    Formidable godly power surged out as his aura intensified.

    ¡°He is serious in the challenge!¡±

    All of the observers around then were shocked. One ought to know that even though Chen Feng was a legend, his achievement of defeating apostles as a resonator had merelye about from him defeating the weakest of apostles, those novice apostles. He had been able to make his name with that feat due to the huge gap between a resonator and an apostle. Yet now he was challenging the powerful Shi Yong.

    Shi Yong¡¯s eyes shed with killing intent. ¡°You are courting death.¡± He was truly furious at being challenged by a weak resonator.

    Chen Feng merely sneered. ¡°Hehe. Do you dare or not?¡±

    ¡°Why not?¡± Shi Yong was furious. If he were to shrink from such a challenge, he would be too embarrassed to continue living.

    ¡°Come at me then,¡± Chen Feng said without a trace of politeness.

    Swish!

    Abruptly, his body soared.

    Shi Yong sneered. ¡°Hmph.¡± Next, terrifying godly power surged out of him. At their level, there was no need to exchange numerous moves to decide on the victor. Generally, a single full-power exchange would be sufficient. With a single exchange, the weak and the strong would be clear.

    ¡°They are truly doing it!¡±

    ¡°Has this Chen Feng gone crazy?¡±

    ¡°How am I supposed to know?¡±

    Everyone was filled with doubt.

    What kind of courage did a resonator need to have to dare challenge a level 9 apostle? The gap between them wasn¡¯t merely a gap of realms. Between them, an absolute suppression in terms of godly power existed. The godly powers used by them were atpletely different levels due to their difference in realm. With such a difference, how was the fight supposed to proceed?

    ¡°Apostles generally use a higher-tiered godly power...¡±

    ¡°True. Furthermore, this is the godly power of a major god. I seem to recall Chen Feng¡¯s god being an unknown minor god that is pitifully weak...¡±

    ¡°That seems to be the case.¡±

    ¡°How is he supposed to win then?¡±

    ¡°Perhaps he is indeed incapable of victory. However, putting forth a stunning fight to his death is, after all, better than being killed by the gods due to his trickeries.¡±

    ¡°I guess so.¡±

    Everyone sighed. If Chen Feng were to die inbat in such manner, his fame would surely spread far and wide. As their thoughts reached this point, everyone focused their attention on the sky. There, Chen Feng¡¯s attack was descending. Even though his attack looked rather extraordinary, it was nevertheless still the power of a level 10 resonator.

    As for Shi Yong¡¯s attack, it truly looked overwhelming. Instantly, the power of a major god bloomed. With an astonishing aura, he collided with Chen Feng.

    Bang!

    The collision resulted in a terrifying explosion, and a bright red radiance engulfed the entire world.

    An rmed cry sounded. ¡°Huh?¡±

    Everyone found with astonishment that the expected scene of Shi Ying instantly killing Chen Feng did not appear. Rather, the opposite happened. Chen Feng¡¯s terrifying aura had instantly crushed the entirety of Shi Yong¡¯s attack.

    Pu!

    A mouthful of blood was coughed up. Immediately, the godly power surrounding Shi Yong copsed. That terrifying attack of Chen Feng¡¯s seemed capable of piercing through the heavens and earth, and it destroyed everything Shi Yong had unleashed before heading toward his forehead. Just like that, the faint red radiance that was Chen Feng¡¯s attack halted and hovered right before Shi Yong¡¯s forehead. As of this moment, the entire world seemed to havepsed into silence.

    Chen Feng¡¯s cold voice echoed about. ¡°Level 9 apostle? Nothing special.¡±

    ¡°You...¡± Shi Yong stared at Chen Feng, his face unbelieving. Cold sweat poured out of his body without stop. He had never expected that this fellow before him was actually this strong. All the apostles were overwhelmed with shock. Even the gods that had initially been furious were stunned.

    A resonator... could be so powerful? n? Poor talent? Making use of the gods? What a joke. When one was this strong, what was the point of talking about so-called talent? He had not needed to exin himself. He had not needed to argue the usation. He had only needed to challenge Shi Yong, and all usations copsed with the result of his fight. Just like Chen Feng had said, he was a legend.

    ¡°I only wish to be stronger...¡± Chen Feng¡¯s words slowly turned into a sigh. As the others around heard this, they felt somewhat ashamed. True, he only wanted to be stronger. They shouldn¡¯t have assumed that he had poor talent just because they had failed to push him into the apostle realm. How could his heaven-defying talent be considered poor?

    At this time, the minor god who was looking on from a distance was also thoroughly stupefied. He had known that Chen Feng was rather strong. However, he had never expected that Chen Feng was so strong that he could even defeat a veteran apostle with a single punch. This Chen Feng... The minor god¡¯s heart trembled as he thought about this. He knew that after this battle, Chen Feng¡¯s name would be known far and wide.

    ¡°How strong.¡±

    This was what all the apostles there were thinking. Even Shi Yong, a veteran apostle, had failed to receive a single attack from Chen Feng. This fellow was much more terrifying than they had initially imagined.

    ¡°However,¡± a certain apostle suddenly said, ¡°if you can¡¯t break through even with this, then there is no hope for you to break through, right?¡±

    Shua!

    Suddenly, everyone was startled from their reverie. True, if even this many gods couldn¡¯t help him break through, what hope did he have? Was Chen Feng strong? Yes. However, this was already his limit. As for apostles... The apostle realm was a unique stage, as it was the strongest realm below godhood. Theoretically, an apostle could increase his strength without limit. So long as the apostle was strong enough, there would be no limit to their growth. The apostle could continue pressing on toward the realm of the gods, pushing on without limit until, one day, they became a god.

    This was the ultimate dream of nearly every apostle. As for a resonator? This would be impossible. Level 10 resonance was the peak of the realm, their limit. Apart from that, only their talent could grant them some extra strength beyond this limit. However, to continuously improve in this manner would be too difficult. This was probably the furthest Chen Feng would ever reach.

    At this thought, for reasons unknown, the apostles present all heaved a sigh of relief. The future strongest apostle? The number one existence below the gods? No, that would not happen. It was quite probable that there weren¡¯t any gods capable of helping him break through.

    Today, more than a hundred major gods hade here. This was a gathering of nearly all of theparatively powerful gods in existence. However, not a single one had seeded. How could this Chen Feng have any sort of future?

    ¡°What a pity.¡±

    This was the thought of a lot of the gods there. If so powerful a resonator were to be an apostle... The gods sighed inwardly.

    Right at this moment, a cold voice resounded. ¡°Can I give it a try?¡±

    Instinctively, everyone turned around. When they saw the owner of the voice, their expressions changed greatly.

    ¡°Lord Zero?¡± they all cried out in rm. Zero was a major god with formidable strength. Furthermore, he was a subsidiary god of the Sin God. For him to have appeared here... Could it be that this Chen Feng had even attracted the attention of the Sin God? The mere thought caused them all to be iparably shocked.

    Chen Feng nodded. ¡°Fine.¡±

    Hum¡ª

    Zero tried inserting his godly power into Chen Feng. However, it only persisted shortly. After sensing his godly power vanishing, he stopped.

    ¡°Your power is very weird.¡± Zero gave it some thought and said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid that no gods are capable of helping you break through.¡±

    Hua¡ª

    Everyone mored as they heard this. Not a single god could help him? As a representative of the Sin God, these words were no different than the death penalty.

    ¡°Hmph, so what if you are strong?¡±

    Shi Yong appeared ted. Even though Chen Feng was stronger, he had no future. He would be forever stuck at this stage. Eventually, he would die of old age.

    ¡°Pitiful.¡±

    Some apostles took joy in this. Toward this excessively stunning counterpart, a lot of them held no small amount of envy.

    ¡°This is how it should be.¡±

    ¡°Looks like the heavens are still fair. At the same time he was granted his freakish talent, his future was also severed, haha.¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t that right?¡±

    These were the thoughts of many of the people there.

    ¡°I know,¡± Chen Feng replied after taking in a deep breath. With this fake nascent soul, it was impossible for him to be an apostle. Moreover, the nascent soul had seemingly reached its limit. Earlier, when he had been absorbing Zero¡¯s godly power, he had been able to clearly sense that the miniature person within him no longer was no longer improving in any way. He had already reached his limit. Physically, he was at the peak of the resonance realm, and inwardly, his fake nascent soul had already reached the great-circle stage.

    Chen Feng found that he was indeed stuck at some sort of limit. As such, he had no choice but to ascertain whether he could still improve. He was not willing to stop here. How, exactly, was he supposed to continue improving?

    Chen Feng sighed inwardly. ¡°My ns have crashed with the reality after all.¡±

    His initial n had been to trick the gods into supplying him with godly power. Yet now, having reached the limit of the godly power he could absorb, his lies had transformed into reality. He had indeed be as strong as the strongest of apostles. This was initially a lie he had spread. Yet now, he was truly stuck at this level.

    ¡°Is this my retribution for all my lies?¡± His heart ached. Had he tricked way too many gods, to the point that his fate was now tricking him as well? Without Misfortune and Luck by his side, his future was unclear. He could only try progressing with his own effort. However, this was predicated on his path forward not being a dead end.

    ¡°He will be stuck here,¡± the apostles around him said in low voice. After being sure of this, their gazes when looking at Chen Feng were filled with sympathy. All the jealousy andpetitiveness vanished like puffs of smoke. What purpose was there inpeting against a person without a future?

    Some prepared to leave. ¡°Let us disperse.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    The gods also prepared to leave. Since Chen Feng¡¯s future was already fixed, there was no point in staying behind. However, just as they were about to leave, Zero suddenly said, ¡°With your present strength, are you interested in taking on the trial of godhood ascension?¡±

    Bang!

    This sentence was like the loudest of peals of thunder as it rumbled in the minds of all the gods here. Trial... Godhood ascension? This little fe? This...

    ¡°How is this possible?¡± the apostles cried out in rm.

    One ought to know that only the strongest of apostles, those widely known, those experts with reputations reaching far and wide were qualified to take on the trial of godhood ascension, to try to be a supreme god. Regardless of sess or failure, the act of participating in a trial of godhood ascension was in itself the greatest glory an apostle could ever have. And now Chen Feng would be participating in such a trial?

    The apostles copsed emotionally as they thought of this. A short while ago, they had still been looking down on Chen Feng due to hisck of a future. Never had they expected that this resonator that could not be an apostle would actually reach such height. Suddenly, they felt like they were the jokes rather than Chen Feng.

    Indeed, Chen Feng could not be an apostle. However, it was never a fixed fact that only apostles could try their hand at godhood ascension. So long as one was sufficiently powerful, any life-form could try. Chen Feng had proved with his own hands that he was notckingpared to any of the apostles. This signified that he was only one step away from godhood. He did not need to try to resonate with other gods. The moment he seeded in his challenge, he would directly skip past the apostle realm and ascend to godhood!

 Chapter 776 - Cannon Fodder

    Chapter 776: Cannon Fodder

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Gods were existences beyond all realms. If one were to say that the gap between awakened ones and resonators was a gap of a hundred times, and that the gap between resonators and apostles was also a hundred times, between apostles and gods, the gap would be sorge the word ¡°astronomical¡± would be apt to describe it.

    A god was, after all, a god. Under normal circumstances, if an apostle wanted to try to ascend to godhood, they would have to increase one¡¯s strength to level 10, 15, 20, or perhaps something even greater. Only this would make it possible.

    Naturally, this would merely grant the apostle the qualification to attempt. One ought to know that even though the Sin God had indeed opened the channel of godhood ascension to all, thest apostle that had taken the trial had been a level 36 apostle, which was an extremely terrifying level. Ultimately, that apostle had sessfully be a god, transcending the millions upon millions of life-forms.

    Godhood ascension was the dream of all apostles. Nevertheless, this was an extremely long path. Therefore, it had never crossed their minds that Chen Feng would be qualified to take on this challenge as well. They had never expected that Chen Feng had already threaded upon the same path they were all threading, and had even reached the end.

    ¡°He has actually reached this height?¡± The minor god was filled with a mncholic feeling. The ultimate destination of every outstanding apostle would definitely be the trial of godhood ascension. However, even if the apostle passed the trial, he would still be tied to his initial god, thus bing a subsidiary god. The minor god had never expected to obtain such a subsidiary god, as he himself was a minor god, the lowest of gods. One could say that he wasn¡¯t even qualified to be a subsidiary god himself, let alone gain one. When it came to apostles, he only had one.

    A subsidiary god? He had never dared to dream of having one. Yet now... Things were about to be rather fascinating.

    ¡°After seven days, the godhood trial will be activated on the Bamboo Isles.¡±

    Finishing his words, Zero left. His words had instantly caused the atmosphere here, which had been rather still, to be filled with noise.

    ¡°Activating the godhood trial?¡±

    ¡°So yet another godhood position is going to be challenged?¡±

    ¡°A storm is about to start on the Bamboo Isles.¡±

    ¡°Lord Zero actually activated a trial specifically for Chen Feng. Good lord...¡±

    ¡°Hmph. Chen Feng is a mere resonator. Therefore, this trial will probably be different than in the past. After all, each trial has different difficulty levels. In that case, the number of participants...¡±

    The mere thought was sufficient to nt fear in them. In fact, the activation of the godhood trial signified that anyone meeting the requirements would be able to participate in the trial. In the past, only the strongest of apostles had been able to join such a trial. Regr people had had no hope of getting involved.

    Yet now... Chen Feng? A mere resonator? It was quite likely that a huge number of apostles would participate in this challenge. The number of participants this time would most definitely surpass all imaginations.

    ...

    Chen Feng frowned. ¡°Something seems off.¡±

    Initially, he had been quite pleased that this major god had such high expectation for him. However, after gaining more understanding of the so-called godhood trial, his keen senses told him that this was definitely not as simple as it seemed. After all, it was as the others had said. Godhood trials were the supreme glory for all capable of participating in them, sess or failure.

    However, that would also be equivalent to the final battle. The sole reason that this was the final battle was that, for any single person, that person could only attempt this trial once in his entire life. The moment one failed, they would forever be unable to be a god. Moreover, a godhood trial could, in a way, be understood as a tribtion of sorts, a tribtion that everyone else could partake in as well as the selected individual.

    Anyone could join, yet only a single person would sessfully ascend. Therefore, was this godhood trial one truly activated for his sake? Or perhaps...As Chen Feng looked at the excited apostles, he suddenly understood. He had unknowingly be a cannon fodder of a certain someone.

    ...

    In a certain location, a certain petite figure was lying down on a bench.

    ¡°Interesting. Looks like Zero still agreed to our condition.¡±

    She smiled and patted the shoulder of a certain kneeling figure before her. ¡°Your identity is rather unique. Therefore, it would be rather difficult to get a godhood trial activated for your sake. This trial being activated for Chen Feng will be the perfect opportunity for you. He is a mere resonator. Therefore, the difficulty of this trial will definitely be rather low. What you need to do is defeat all the apostles, then ascend to godhood,¡± she gently said.

    ¡°Yes!¡± the kneeling figure loudly answered.

    ...

    In a different location, an old man was filled with doubt. ¡°What does Zero¡¯s mean by this?¡±

    Zero had obviously rejected their request, yet he had activated a trial for Chen Feng. Why? Could it be that Zero had agreed to the others¡¯ request?

    ¡°Well, it doesn¡¯t matter.¡±

    The old man¡¯s gaze was filled with hope. The activation of a trial was too rare an asion. Even the descendants of the gods would only have a single shot at ascension. In a way, it was their luck to be living in such a unique era where mortals could ascend to godhood. Everyone who was capable could participate in the challenge.

    That was why every single apostle capable of participating in a trial was iparably precious to their respective gods. The truth was that the difficulty of each activated trial was directly rted to the person taking the trial. This time, with Chen Feng, a mere resonator, being the person taking the trial... All the gods were wild with joy, since the difficulty level would most certainly be lower.

    Chen Feng himself hadn¡¯t the faintest idea just how far-reaching the effects of this trial would be.

    ¡°Chen Feng...¡± The old man smiled. ¡°Little Jie, this time, remember to give Chen Feng more care.¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± answered the middle-aged man called Little Jie.

    The old man calmly said, ¡°Since we are snatching his godhood from him, we have to show some sincerity, right? However, although the difficulty level will be lower this time, there are still a lot of things you have to pay attention to, especially that old witch¡¯s lover.¡±

    ...

    Not long after, the news of the trial spread everywhere. Countless gods started to get involved. There was nothing they could do about the trials that were activated for the stronger apostles. After all, their descendants might not be able to handle the challenges presented by trials at that level. However, a trial at this level, a trial based on Chen Feng¡¯s level? Some gods analyzed that Chen Feng¡¯s present strength should be equivalent to a level 10 apostle, rather simr to a veteran apostle.

    Reaching this height with his identity as a resonator waspletely unheard of. However, there was still quite a gap from this level to the level of the strongest of apostles.

    ¡°This shall be my stage,¡± a certain level 21 apostle said.

    ¡°That is not for sure,¡± said a certain level 20 apostle that was not willing to fall behind. This was an incredibly rare chance, a chance that they were not willing to miss. As for that Chen Feng...

    ¡°What a pity. I suppose he has yet to realize that he has been made into cannon fodder, right?¡±

    ¡°What a pitiful little fe.¡±

    ¡°Even if he can unleash power equivalent to a level 10 apostle, this will still be too difficult for him.¡±

    ¡°Spare his life in this challenge. That can be considered a way of repaying him for activating the trial for all of us.¡±

    ¡°Not a problem.¡±

    The apostles all reached an agreement. Regardless of who it was that ascended in the end, they would spare Chen Feng¡¯s life. They were the descendants of gods and were foreordained to be gods in the future. As far as they were concerned, it was only a matter of time before they were gods. Therefore, even if this was apetition between them, they still needed to maintain their connections with each other.

    ...

    ¡°This is roughly what¡¯s going on.¡±

    The minor god sighed after he exined all this to Chen Feng. When he had first found out that Chen Feng had activated a trial, he had been rather excited as well. However, when he found out the truth behind all this, he was thoroughly stunned. Those damnable gods¡¯ descendants!

    Chen Feng smiled happily. ¡°What an interesting trial. Am I right?¡±

    ¡°You can still smile?¡± The minor god¡¯s head ached. ¡°Those gods¡¯ descendants are also apostles. However, their innate bloodlines have ensured that they are all iparably powerful. All of them are already above level 20 apostles now. I should have thought of this earlier. Only the joint persuasion of those gods could have convinced Zero to activate the trial for you.¡±

    The minor god was vexed.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t this good?¡± Chen Feng was as calm as ever. ¡°If I had to rely on myself, I don¡¯t know how long it would have taken to actually be the strongest apostle and activate the godhood trial through the regr channel.¡±

    ¡°But those fellows...¡± The minor god was extremely anxious. At this point, he was regretting helping Chen Feng.

    ¡°They do not matter.¡± Suddenly, Chen Feng asked, ¡°I seem to recall that gods are not allowed to kill each other, and if there are any conflicts, a ruling from the Sin God is to be requested, right?¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± the minor good answered. This was something he was extremely clear on. Otherwise, the minor gods would have long died at the hands of those major gods.

    ¡°Very good.¡± Chen Feng gazed in the direction of the Bamboo Isles, seemingly exceptionally pleased. ¡°I no longer have anything to worry about. Next, let us all take a good look at who, exactly, is actually cannon fodder here.¡±

 Chapter 777 - The Scary Divine Seat

    Chapter 777: The Scary Divine Seat

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    ¡°You¡¯re really going?¡± the minor god asked as he looked at Chen Feng.

    ¡°Yes,¡± Chen Feng answered without the slightest hesitation. He had to figure out for himself what exactly this so-called godhood ascension was. One could say that, for the resonance and apostle realms, the difference was the level of the godly power they could muster. Chen Feng was currently stuck and was not capable of advancing further. As such, he had to figure out what godhood meant.

    After godhood, how would one¡¯s strength continue to increase? And what exactly was it that determined whether one was a god or not? He had to figure that out.

    The minor god spoke honestly. ¡°In this battle, you might be nothing but cannon fodder.¡±

    Chen Feng shook his head. ¡°Nevertheless, I still have to try, right?¡± Suddenly, he recalled something and asked, ¡°How did you ascend to godhood?¡±

    ¡°Me?¡± The minor god stayed silent for a long time before saying, ¡°I can¡¯t remember. It feels like... since the day my thoughtse into existence, I have been a god.¡±

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡±

    It was no wonder this god was this weak.

    Chen Feng instinctively asked, ¡°What is the difference between a god and a normal life-form?¡± If he could find an answer from this minor god, he would perhaps have more confidence.

    The minor god shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Among the millions upon millions of life-forms, their energy makeup and flesh are different. I don¡¯t have any understanding of that, and I have no basis from which to draw a conclusion. As for you...¡±

    The minor god reached out with his hand, trying to cast his senses into Chen Feng¡¯s sea of consciousness. Unsurprisingly, he was unable to sense anything.

    The minor god shrugged. ¡°I still can¡¯t sense anything.¡±

    ¡°Fine.¡± Chen Feng could only smile bitterly at this. He did not know if having this fake nascent soul good or bad. This nascent soul had provided him with might far surpassing his imagination, enabling him to challenge those of a higher realm. However, at the same time, the nascent soul had also severed his route of advancement. He could no longer be an apostle, be stronger. Perhaps... only godhood ascension would change this.

    The minor god paused. ¡°Wait. I have some resources here. They were offerings from my past believers. I initially nned to use them on my apostle to increase his strength. Perhaps these resources can be of use to you.¡±

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. ¡°Oh?¡±

    The minor god handed the resources to Chen Feng.

    The resources wereprised of numerous bizarre yet powerful fruits, medicinal herbs, and so on. After studying them for a bit, Chen Feng turned all of them into gene reagents. However, even though these items could be used by apostles, even after Chen Feng¡¯s gene production, the improvement they provided him was rather feeble. From level 10 resonance, he rose to level 12 resonance. With so many gene reagents, he had only obtained two levels.

    ¡°How pitiful.¡±

    Chen Feng was disappointed. He knew that his advancement would be harder and harder. However, one piece of good news for him was thus: as his miniature person had entered the great-circle stage, even though it was no longer capable of improving, the amplification effect it brought now was the cube of whatever level he was at. For instance, his present amplification effect was 12 times 12 times 12.

    ¡°Therefore, after converting from resonance to apostle, I am roughly equivalent to a level 17 apostle?¡±

    Chen Feng clenched his fists tightly. He wasn¡¯t particrly powerful. However, every single bit of growth, however weak it was, would have a qualitative change after the amplification effect. As such, each level he gained brought about a rather astonishing effect. If he could advance by maybe a level or two... Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled at the thought.

    Naturally, the gene reagents he had produced had not purely consisted of strength-increasing reagents. Half of them were actually reagents with various buffing or explosive effects. This was a battle he had to emerge victorious from.

    ...

    While all this was happening, all the apostles that were nning to participate in the trial were making their respective preparations. Naturally, not a single one of them saw Chen Feng as an opponent. Rather, their sights were set on thoseparatively powerful apostles, those gods¡¯ descendants. In all the past trials, the trials itself were the hardest part. This time, though, the trial would be the easiest; theirpetitors would be the actual problem.

    ¡°A trial activated by resonance will most definitely not be hard. Therefore, the difficulty of the trial itself can be neglected.¡±

    ¡°Even though Chen Feng¡¯s feat of challenging apostles as a resonator is rather astonishing, he is only capable of unleashingbat power equivalent to a level 10 apostle. He is negligible. Therefore, our opponents will be the other participants! Their strength... will most definitely not be simple...¡±

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    ¡°Take this with you.¡±

    ¡°Ah? There is no need, right? This is but a single battle...¡±

    ¡°This time, you must ascend. I have a bad premonition, as if something is about to happen sometime soon. Therefore, before then, you must ascend as soon as possible.¡±

    ¡°All right.¡±

    ...

    All the participants were preparing themselves. After seven days, countless apostles descended upon the Bamboo Isles. Zero also appeared out of thin air. Before the shocked gaze of numerous beings, he used a single hand to rip the sky apart, forcefully ripping half of the world and revealing an astonishing alien world behind the sky.

    ¡°This time, this is where the trial will be held.¡±

    Shua!

    The sky was ripped apart. Within the alien world that was revealed, a divine seat was faintly discernible. It flickered with a faint glow, showing clearly the tier of the seat being offered.

    ¡°Indeed, it is the lowest tier.¡±

    Almost immediately, countless apostles charged forth. They were all filled with excitement and expectation. They could not wait to immediately take on the trial. With Chen Feng¡¯s identity as a resonator, this trial activated for his sake would most definitely be the lowest rank of all. However, this would also be the easiest trial ever.

    What were the so-called godhood trials? They were, in fact, challenges toward the origin strength of the god who had previously upied the position. If it was a high tiered seat, the trial would employ around 20% of the original god¡¯s strength. For apostles, this was extremely terrifying, an almost insurmountable trial. If it was a mid-tier seat, perhaps only around 10% of the original god¡¯s strength would be employed. As for a low-tier seat, perhaps only around 5% of the original god¡¯s strength would be employed. As for this seat before them, this was the lowest of the low, employing only around 1% of the original god¡¯s strength.

    In other words, the mirror image of the god they had to face in this trial would possess only 1% of the original god¡¯s strength, an unspeakably weak amount. Therefore, nearly anyone could seed in this trial. As such, they had to move as quickly as possible. As for their opponents, those would be thepetitors around them, who were all aiming for the godhood.

    Bang! Bang!

    Immediately after entering the alien world, the battle erupted.

    The apostles started fighting each other, not allowing anyone to get ahead of them. They exhausted everything they had to stop others from advancing while they themselves advanced. From the start, the battle was an extremely bitter one. Not far away, at the entrance of the alien world, Chen Feng was staring ahead nkly, not entering.

    The observers started talking about him.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with him?¡±

    ¡°No idea. I suppose he is shocked at what he¡¯s witnessing?¡±

    ¡°Well, that is understandable. After all, he probably never imagined that godhood trials would be so cruel, right?¡±

    ¡°Sigh, what a pity.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s not necessarily a pity. If he gives up on this, he might be able to preserve his life.¡±

    ¡°True.¡±

    There was still some attention being focused on this unique trial-taker. However, unknown to all of them, Chen Feng was truly staring nkly because he was overly shocked. However, he was not shocked by the apostles. Rather, he was shocked by the alien world. Wasn¡¯t this world the Twin Horns World, where the Sin God had previously resided?

    In short... the so-called divine seat... Chen Feng¡¯s gazended on the center of the alien world,nding on that faintly glowing divine seat. His heart chilled. If his guess was correct, this seat... was the seat for the position of the Sin God! That was because, from his memories, there was only one god in the Twin Horns World.

    Wait, no. That did not seem quite right. Chen Feng was filled with doubt. A godhood trial should obviously be a trial for the godhood of a deceased god. Why would the divine seat of the Sin God be offered here? After all, he was the strongest god of this new era.

    ¡°What exactly have I misunderstood?¡±

    Chapter 778: The Truth: Challenging Crazily

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Ye! It really is him!

    When Chen Feng finally saw the faint mirror image, his heart chilled. Even though the mirror image was somewhat blurry, Ye had left an extremely deep impression on Chen Feng from the one time Chen Feng had seen him. This was truly him. But how was this possible?

    Theoretically, it was indeed possible to directly issue a challenge to the divine seat of an existing god. However, the premise for that was ack of vacancies among the divine seats. Since nearly 80% of the divine seats were unupied, why would the Sin God¡¯s divine seat appear here as a trial? This was especially questionable since the activation of this trial had been supervised by Zero himself.

    Chen Feng was rmed. ¡°What is the meaning of this?¡± Could it be that his identity had been exposed? As he thought about this, he no longer felt like entering this alien world. What exactly was going on? Unknown to Chen Feng, at the same time, beyond the sky, the Sin God was extremely rmed as well.

    The instant Zero had activated the trial, he had clearly felt an intense sense of thought traveling through the void and directly locking on to him. This was quite a wondrous feeling.

    This is... divine seat trial? The Sin God was filled with astonishment. Why was the trial on him, especially since Zero was the one supervising the activation?

    He looked at Zero. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Have you found any problems with this Chen Feng fellow?¡±

    ¡°Nope.¡± Zero had a nk expression. ¡°The trial was indeed activated by me and has nothing to do with him. However, I did what I have always done: activate a random divine seat. It is not supposed to be your divine seat.¡±

    This random activation was a system where priority was given to vacant divine seats. Only when there were no vacant seats would the trial fall on an existing god¡¯s seat. However, no matter what, the Sin God¡¯s divine seat should not have been selected.

    Hum¡ª

    Sin God shut both his eyes and sensed this unique aura. Suddenly, he smiled.

    ¡°Looks like... some fellows are getting disobedient now,¡± he muttered to himself. He could sense some other power at work here. ¡°Looks like someone is borrowing your hand and Chen Feng¡¯s trial to provoke me.¡±

    What? Zero¡¯s heart trembled. To provoke Ye, had those fellows gone mad?

    ¡°What about this trial, then?¡± Zero asked.

    This trial was quite unique, as due to Chen Feng¡¯s level, the trial would only employ 1% of the original god¡¯s strength. However, this was the seat of the Sin God!

    ¡°It is a pity about them,¡± Ye said apathetically. Evidently, when he uttered these words, those people were as good as dead to him.

    Zero understood what he meant. ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°Who could it be?¡± The Sin God gazed at the sky. The entire world was under his control. Who exactly was it that was provoking him? And what kind of power was being used to be able to affect even this trial? ¡°No matter who you are, you are courting death.¡±

    ...

    At this time, amid the boundless starry sky, that figure was still seated calmly on the throne. However, different from the past, an astonishingly beautiful youngdy was by his side this time. She stood by his side, her gaze on that blue.

    ¡°Finally, things are getting interesting.¡±

    He was still spinning the ring on his finger, seemingly filled with expectation.

    ¡°Do you think Chen Feng can emerge victorious?¡± he asked the youngdy by his side.

    However, he received no response.

    ¡°Tsk. Still not willing to talk to me? Fine. Let me make a guess. In this trial, Chen Feng will die,¡± he said with a smile.

    Shua!

    Suddenly, the youngdy¡¯s gaze focused on him.

    ¡°He will truly die, yo.¡± Slowly, his expression became cold. ¡°Chen Feng is but a seed, a seed raised by me. Afterpleting his task, it will be time for him to die. Now is the time for that.¡±

    He continued lightly spinning the ring. At this moment, the countless stars seemed to shift together as a bizarre power started to surge toward Chen Feng.

    ¡°A trial-taker can only take on the trial of a god of their era. Since Chen Feng is a person of the Gic Era, he can only challenge the divine seat of a god that existed during the Gic Era. All the other gods have been thoroughly killed by the Sin God; his divine seat is the only one from that era that remains. As such, the only trial Chen Feng can activate is the Sin God¡¯s divine seat.¡±

    Shua!

    He stood up. The huge throne started to glow as the radiance converged and started taking the form of a silhouette.

    Hum¡ª

    Behind the silhouette was a faint wing of light that ultimately transformed into a sword of light that was held in the silhouette¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Now, it¡¯s is my turn to make a move. Go,¡± he said softly.

    Shua!

    Instantly, the silhouette vanished after flickering. When the silhouette appeared once again, it was already within the, on the Bamboo Isles. With a single step, he stepped into the alien world hosting the trial. This silhouette was actually intending to challenge the trial as well.

    The youngdy¡¯s cold voice resounded. ¡°Forming a clone to challenge the trial of the Sin God¡¯s divine seat? So it turns out that this is your actual goal.¡±

    ¡°Naturally.¡± He smiled calmly. ¡°This trial will only employ 1% of the Sin God¡¯s strength. I am truly quite looking forward to this. The moment he loses his divine seat will also be the moment of his death.¡±

    ¡°Even without his divine seat, his strength is still unparalleled,¡± the youngdy said coldly.

    ¡°I know. However, without his spirit seat, he will lose the faith of the millions upon millions of lives of the human world. His strength will drop to its lowest point. Regardless of how strong he is, without the nourishment of faith, I am capable of ensuring his death.¡± He smiled. ¡°I am quite looking forward to the strength of the Sin God.¡±

    ¡°You will not seed,¡± the youngdy stated calmly.

    He felt somewhat doubtful. ¡°Oh? Because of the Sin God?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± The youngdy shook her head and focused her gaze on the Bamboo Isles. There, the arrival of the silhouette had attracted everyone¡¯s attention. The powerful aura the silhouette was radiating caused everyone to feel fear.

    ¡°Who is that?¡±

    ¡°I have never seen him.¡±

    ¡°How powerful. He is no weaker than a level 40 apostle.¡±

    ¡°How are the others supposed topete against this?¡±

    ¡°Good lord, as someone so strong, why is he even herepeting against us?¡±

    All the apostles howled in grief as they found that this silhouette was truly too powerful.

    ¡°Silhouette...¡± Chen Feng stared at the silhouette that had suddenly appeared, and he gained some sort of understanding as to what was happening.

    This so-called trial activation had transformed into the prelude to a war between gods. A certain powerful existence was making use of him to issue a challenge to the Sin God. He had transformed into a chess piece. However, Chen Feng was not quite bothered about this. This was because he knew that after this trial, the true war between gods would erupt.

    The Sin God would never allow anyone to provoke him this way. At that time, a massive ughter would begin. And since that unknown god had dared to start this, he would most certainly not allow the Sin God to easily escape from this trial.

    Therefore, without a doubt, this trial was of extremely great importance.

    This battle...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled. At present, he was still too far from the Sin God. umte enough strength that he could pose some sort of challenge to the Sin God would take too long. However... what if he emerged victorious from this trial?

    Would that not mean that the millions upon millions of the human world¡¯s lives would temporarily belong to him? Granted, with his strength, even after ascension, he would not be able to protect humanity. Even with temporary ownership over the faith of humanity, he would still be thoroughly defeated by the Sin God. However, so long as he had control over the human world for even a single instant... Chen Feng¡¯s heart started burning with passion.

 Chapter 779 - Challenge Start

    Chapter 779: Challenge Start

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    During the past era, when there had been no vacant divine seats, what would have happened if someone seeded in challenging a trial? The god who had originally upied the divine seat would be temporarily disced. After all, if an upied divine seat was sessfully challenged, it proved how weak the god was. And naturally, the god deprived of a divine seat would no longer enjoy the power of faith.

    He would have to initiate a challenge of his own and seed at the trial to retake the divine seat to once again enjoy the power of faith. This was how the divine seat trial used to work. However, Chen Feng¡¯s trial was an incredibly special one. Due to the unique circumstances and the deliberate doings of certain people, what had appeared this time was the incredibly rare resonator¡¯s divine seat trial. In this trial, only 1% of the original¡¯s god strength would be exhibited.

    Moreover, this trial had been approved by the original god himself, the Sin God. Therefore, the Sin God hadpletely fallen into this trap set for him. However, even 1% of the strength of this iparably powerful Sin God was not something a regr person could ever hope to contend with, especially in this situation where, with the exception of Chen Feng, only apostles were taking part in the trial.

    ¡°In short... that fellow is also disying the strength of an apostle.¡± Chen Feng frowned. He could see that the neer was extremely powerful. However, the silhouette was still not necessarily more powerful than the Sin God. Moreover, Chen Feng also had a question. Who exactly was this fellow? Under the Sin God¡¯s control, nearly all the gods and apostles were subservient to him. If so, who was this that had dared to challenge the Sin God? There was only one possibility. This challenger was not a person of this era, the era of Sin God.

    Chen Feng thought of a possibility. ¡°A god that awoke during the Gic Era?¡± This situation was only possible if this god had awoken during the Gic Era and had intelligently hidden his aura and not participated in any battles. However, after the Sin God had recovered, the entire world was transformed by him. As such, his senses should have swept past the entirety of the world. How had this fellow remained hidden from the Sin God?

    The only answer to that was outer space. Chen Feng gasped in shock at this realization. Suddenly, he recalled how, back then, numerous spaceships had headed to outer space, yet all of them had vanished without a trace. Toward the end, the Gic Union had indeed deployed some people to investigate this. s, they had still been waiting for results when the Sin God recovered and conquered the world. In short, this god had hidden in outer space?

    ¡°Oh¡ª¡±

    Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s heart started palpitating.

    Suddenly, a terrifying power emerged, seemingly trying to erase something. However, after encountering the miniature person within him, the power was noiselessly erased.

    ¡°That power has appeared yet again.¡± Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. This time, he had been able to clearly sense the existence of the power. Outer space... So long as one thought about it, that power would emerge to erase that thought? Why? Because of that god? It seemed like he had indeed been made a chess piece. Indeed, he was a chess piece. However, from the moment that god had started involving himself in everything that was happening, which of them was not but a chess piece?

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. ¡°Now, let us see who shall beughing in the end...¡±

    Bang!

    He strode forth into the alien world. Next, the entire alien world throbbed with godly power, signifying the official start of the trial.

    ...

    Within the alien world, the moment the silhouette appeared, several apostles were killed in session by him. This shocked the other apostles so badly that they all started getting out of his way.

    ¡°Who is that fellow?¡±

    ¡°No idea. Is he a neer like Chen Feng?¡±

    ¡°He is very strong. The apostles that have been killed were all level 15 apostles, yet not a single one of them was able to endure one of his moves.¡±

    ¡°Damn it.¡±

    All the apostles had unsightly expressions.

    ¡°He is heading directly toward the divine seat.¡±

    ¡°Seems like we are nothing to him.¡±

    ¡°Hehe. Those god¡¯s descendants will not watch on as this divine seat is stolen right before them.¡±

    ¡°Let us go nearer as well.¡±

    They followed along noiselessly. At this time, in the numerous crooks and corners of this alien world, something simr was happening. Even if the regr apostles had charged into this world the moment it opened, when the truly powerful apostles appeared, they were reduced to nothing but cannon fodder.

    Pu! Pu!

    Blood sttered everywhere. One powerful apostle after another revealed themselves. There was a certain apostle with extraordinary strength. The moment he entered this world, he started ughtering everyone he encountered. Every apostle that dared to provoke him was ripped apart, showcasing his dreadful strength.

    ¡°It¡¯s him! I have seen him once before. He is the descendant of a major god,¡± a random apostle cried out in rm.

    At the same time, in a different part of the alien world, a certain apostle had just entered.

    In his hand was a huge hatchet that was glowing with overflowing colors. A single wave was all it took to kill an apostle. Moreover, with a single wave, even a mountain was cut in two. His strength was evident.

    Yet another apostle cried out in rm. ¡°I have seen that apostle as well.¡±

    ¡°Good lord, he is the brother of a certain powerful god.¡±

    ¡°I always thought that he was already a god. Unexpectedly, he has yet to participate in a trial.¡±

    ...

    Since the level of this trial was too low, all the apostles that had previously been unqualified to participate in such a trial were now here.

    ¡°Tsk tsk, so this I what a divine seat trial is.¡±

    ¡°Is this your first time?¡±

    ¡°Of course. I am but a mere level 8 apostle. Haha, don¡¯t worry. I will most definitely not enter deeply into the world and will only be staying in the outer region.¡±

    ¡°Haha, let us bask in the light of these big shots as they ascend into godhood.¡±

    ¡°I suppose it is sufficient for us to enjoy the soup when the big shots are eating the meat.¡±

    Such words started appearing from the mouths of some of the apostles. Evidently, a lot of them were only here to join in the fun.

    A certain level 15 apostle frowned when he saw these apostles. ¡°These people are clearly feeling suicidal.¡± It was fine for them to be weak. However, were they not worried that the mere fluctuations of the battles here would injure or even kill them? After all, they were truly too weak.

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. They can do whatever they want. And to fish in troubled water, is this not how the world has always been?¡± a friend of the level 15 apostle said.

    ¡°True.¡± He chuckled before lowering his voice, ¡°Will you be participating in this trial as well?¡±

    ¡°Me?¡± The friend smiled bitterly. ¡°I am but a mere level 12 apostle.¡±

    ¡°Heh, who are you trying to trick?¡± the other apostle said in a low voice. He started egging his friend on. ¡°Yourbat power is different than your actual level. I can remember clearly how, when you were a level 1 apostle, you were already capable of defeating a level 13 apostle. Now that you are already a level 12 apostle, this trial... there is no harm in trying, right? Perhaps you might even seed?¡±

    The friend shook his head. ¡°Nope, there is absolutely no chance of me seeding.¡±

    ¡°Because this is rted to the Sin God?¡± The apostle appeared rather dispirited. There was nothing they could do about it. A trial like this was unprecedented, and some could already see that this was in some way rted to the Sin God. However, they had yet to figure out what exactly was going on. Instinctively, they all believed that this was just a trial the Sin God had activated so that a certain person he had picked could ascend into godhood.

    ¡°No. Rather, I am not joining because of the trial-taker this time.¡± Heughed and continued, ¡°Chen Feng is not a person that will ever stay obedient.¡±

    The other apostle was filled with doubt. Chen Feng? That cannon fodder? Could he truly exert any sort of influence on an event at this level? He could not understand this reasoning. However, as he saw his friend¡¯s solemn expression, he instantly had a feeling that there was some profound mystery at work here. Perhaps this friend of his that had always been mysterious had once again obtained some secret information not known to anyone? It seemed like this trial would be interesting.

 Chapter 780 - The Most Speechless Incident Ever

    Chapter 780: The Most Speechless Incident Ever

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The distorted and dusky sky within the alien world appeared exceptionally sinister. Even after entering this world, the sky of the outside world could still be seen through the tear in the sky. From this tear in the sky, they had entered this world. From here, they would have to travel to the other end of this world, going through numerous tribtions before finally arriving at the divine seat, where they could challenge the god¡¯s mirror image.

    And in this particr case, this mirror image had been activated by a trial-taker in the resonance realm. This mirror image could only disy 1% of the original god¡¯s strength. This was an extremely rare chance, even for theparatively weak ones, even for mere level 10 apostles. So long as they were the first to reach the end of this world, to be the first to challenge the divine seat, they could end the trial and ascend to godhood.

    This was what a lot of the apostles were thinking about, what a lot of them were trying to do. To charge forth without stop, even when all the other apostles were busy fighting. When a lot of the apostles were trying to reduce their godly power consumption so as to maintain their optimalbat strength, these people were pushing forth with all their might just so that they could be the first to arrive, to be the first to challenge the divine seat.

    A certain apostle shrouded in blueughed as he gazed at the crowd behind him. ¡°Hehe. A bunch of idiots.¡± Were the god¡¯s descendants powerful? Was that neer silhouette powerful? So what if they were powerful? Not a single one of these powerful ones could surpass him in terms of speed.

    Swish! Swish!

    He shed forth, leaving countless afterimages behind. His speed was so fast that it seemed like he was piercing through space itself.

    ¡°How fast!¡±

    ¡°Heavens, it is actually him!¡±

    ¡°You know him?¡±

    ¡°He is the fastest apostle. It is rumored that no matter what he does, he will always be the fastest, forever the fastest person.¡±

    ¡°Someone like that is not yet a god?¡±

    ¡°No. It is said that he is only a level 19 apostle. As such, he had been cultivating without stop. In regr circumstances, he will only need to continue cultivating until he surpasses level 30 apostle, and his ascension to godhood will be practically guaranteed.¡±

    ¡°A level 19 apostle with this speed...¡±

    ¡°Yeah. This speed is around four or five times faster than that level 36 apostle that managed to ascendst time.¡±

    Everyone¡¯s heart trembled for one single reason: this person was too fast. They had never seen anyone capable of moving at such a speed.

    ¡°His speed has even surpassed that silhouette¡¯s.¡±

    ¡°And there is not a single god¡¯s descendant here capable of surpassing his speed.¡±

    ¡°My god.¡±

    ¡°In short, it is quite possible that he will be the one to ascend this time?¡±

    ¡°Naturally.¡±

    ¡°If this were a regr trial, the difficulty would be so high that even if he arrived first, it would be pointless. However, for this trial, since he will be the first to arrived, he will most certainly be the one to ascend.¡±

    Swish!

    That white streak was so very dazzling in this dusky world. Almost everyone noticed that streaking white. He had seemingly pierced through the entirety of this world, to traverse directly from one end of this world to the other end. His speed was unimaginably fast. Naturally, this did not escape the notice of the silhouette.

    However, he merely smiled coldly and continued pushing forth unhurriedly, replenishing his godly power as he used it. He knew who his true opponent would be, and he was aware of how powerful his true opponent was. As such, he had to maintain his optimalbat power.

    ...

    Some of the god¡¯s descendants noticed this as well. ¡°That fast guy is here as well?¡±

    A certain female apostle beside this god¡¯s descendant said, ¡°Should we intercept him?¡±

    As the descendants of gods, their innate talent was most definitely better than other regr apostles. These people who were destined to be gods in the future each had a huge group of followers.

    ¡°You go, then,¡± the god¡¯s descendant said without an ounce of care. ¡°If required, feel free to kill.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Every single one of that female apostle¡¯s action was exceedingly alluring. She was the apostle most doted on by this god¡¯s descendant and the strongest among his apostle followers. After bing the believer of a certain god, she had obtained the godly power of charm, bing nigh undefeatable. So what if that guy was fast? That so-called fast guy was indeed fast. However, he was weak in all other aspects.

    She smiled gently. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. With my charm alone, I will make him stop.¡± And thus, a group of them stopped here, waiting for that fast guy to arrive. They had entered this world before that fast guy and had been in here longer than him. As such, it was uneptable that the fast guy could catch up to them so soon after entering. They had to intercept him.

    Shua!

    A white streak could be seen approaching from the distance.

    That female apostleughed. ¡°Hmph.¡±

    Hum¡ª

    Faint godly power rippled out.

    Despite her godly power being aimed at that fast guy, the apostles around her could not avoid their hearts fluttering. Even the god¡¯s descendant was somewhat affected.

    ¡°Xiao Rong has be stronger yet again,¡± the god¡¯s descendantmented.

    Xiao Rong smiled and said, ¡°Regardless of how strong I get, I am yours. After all, you are destined to be a god.¡±

    ¡°Oh, you girl.¡± The god¡¯s descendant felt someone proud when he heard this. Just look at how the most alluring of all apostles, this goddess of so many males, was his. A mere divine seat...

    ¡°He¡¯s arriving.¡± Xiao Rong shifted her attention. ¡°I will stop him. You guys will deal with everything else.¡±

    ¡°Understood,¡± answered the apostles around her.

    Shua!

    Instantly, the white streak charged into the godly power.

    Xiao Rong¡¯s mood became solemn. ¡°Here hees.¡± Suddenly, her calm godly power surged as godly power filled with a sense of enticement charged at the fast guy,pletely engulfing him. Almost immediately, he stopped moving. Instinctively, his gaze was attracted toward the youngdy before him as he felt that this youngdy looked more and more beautiful, so beautiful that he felt like he was on cloud nine, a sudden urge to charge toward her oveing him.

    Everyone was overjoyed.

    ¡°He stopped.¡±

    ¡°Excellent.¡±

    The god¡¯s descendant nodded imposingly. Just as he was about to have someone capture that guy, something beyond his expectation suddenly happened. The fast guy, who had already stopped, indeed charged over toward them as he if had been charmed by Xiao Rong. However, he instantly pounced toward Xiao Rong. Before anyone else could do anything, with a white sh, he vanished.

    Swish!

    The white sh streaked away. Shortly after, the fast guy was gone.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    Everyone was rmed. That fast guy was so powerful that he could ovee Xiao Rong¡¯s charm? One ought to know that even the descendants of gods could not escape the effect of her charm. Yet a mere fast guy... They instinctively looked over at Xiao Rong curiously, yet what they saw stupefied them all.

    There, Xiao Rong¡¯s clothing was torn apart. She looked extremely sorry, and a certain viscous fluid was all over her. Moreover, a certain fishy smell lingered in the air.

    ¡°You...¡±

    The god¡¯s descendant was so furious that he did not know what to say.

    Only now did all the apostles awake from their reverie. After they collect their minds and started processing what had happened, they all hissed in shock. This... They all exchanged nces and were able to see the fear in each other¡¯s eyes. In short, Lady Xiao Rong¡¯s charm had indeed worked. That pitifully weak fast guy had indeed taken the bait. However, they had totally neglected a single fact...

    That fast guy... was truly too fast, so fast that he had not even required half a second to take off his pants, do her, put his pants back on, and flee. Before anyone could even react, he had finished the deed and escaped.

    ¡°Damn it, damn it!¡±

    The god¡¯s descendant was bursting with rage. Just one second earlier, he had still been so proud of having her, the most alluring of all, as his woman. Yet in the next second, not only was he thoroughly defeated, he had even given away his women, and the deed had been done right in front of him.

    Chapter 781: You Already Tried Your Best

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    ¡°What are you waiting for? Put your clothes back on,¡± the god¡¯s descendant spat.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Xiao Rong hurriedly put her clothes back on. s, a huge portion of her clothes had been torn. She had no choice but to form a new set of clothes with her godly power. Even now, she was still stupefied. During the process of the deed, she had not even been able to react. If not for the disgusting fluid on her, the lingering smell in the air, and the searing ache she was feeling, she wouldn¡¯t even know what had happened.

    That fast guy... As she thought of what had happened, she was filled with regret. Why had she decided to use her charm on him? What had happened here had been witnessed by a huge number of people. At present, they all had odd expressions, especially the other gods¡¯ descendants. Almost immediately after, they told their female followers to conceal themselves.

    What kind of joke was this? That was too excessive. There was actually such speed in this world? However, after this incident, they had truly recognized the severity of such a thing. That fast guy was approaching the end extremely quickly speed.

    ¡°That fellow must be stopped.¡±

    ¡°He is too scary.¡±

    ¡°At this speed, he will most certainly be the first to arrive.¡±

    ¡°He entered this worldter than us, yet he is already at the very front of the race. Apart from some of the gods¡¯ descendants and their followers that are still ahead of him, there is no longer anyone capable of stopping him.¡±

    ¡°Will this divine seat be given to him just like this?¡±

    This was making all the apostles ufortable. They had to stop that fast guy, yet how were they supposed to stop him? This was quite the thorny issue. There were a few gods¡¯ descendants with female followers who were gifted with charm or simr abilities. However, after the previous example, not a single one of them would be willing to do so even if they were beaten to death. How about control-rted abilities? It was rather unfortunate that none of them could get near enough to use such abilities on the fast guy.

    The apostles were all concerned.

    ¡°What to do?¡±

    A youth who appeared to be 14 years old stepped out. ¡°How about I give it a try?¡± He looked scarily young, yet he was without a doubt a level 15 apostle.

    The eyes of the other apostles shone as they heard what he said. ¡°You have a way to deal with him?¡±

    With a smile, the young apostle said, ¡°I do have some ideas. However, I will have to try to know if they will work. Carve out some words for me.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡±

    The other apostles were curious. What was the point of carving out words?

    ¡°You all will know soon enough,¡± the young apostle said in an enigmatic manner.

    ¡°Fine.¡±

    The other apostles started to help him. Naturally, the so-called ¡°word carving¡± was not carving in a regr sense. Rather, this was the act of carving immense words on the mountains, guaranteeing that the fast guy would be able to see the words being carved.

    ¡°What are you nning?¡±

    Everyone was still filled with doubt. Not a single one knew what his n was. As all this was happening, the fast guy, who had already traveled far ahead, was feeling extremely refreshed andfortable.

    Earlier, when he had been charmed, he had believed that that would be the end of him. That was why he had decided to throw caution to the wind and go ¡°enjoy¡± himself with thedy. Unexpectedly, he had been met with a pleasant surprise.

    ¡°So it turns out the power of charm fills the target with the me of desire. Mhm... Therefore, so long as the desire is satisfied, one will return to normal.¡± The fast guy was overjoyed at this discovery. He had never expected to solve the riddle of countering charm abilities byplete ident. One ought to know that, as the fastest apostle, what he feared most was falling under another¡¯s control. Therefore, he normally did his best to avoid everyone. Now, though...

    ¡°Well, in the future, I can be considered to be somewhat immune to charm abilities. Whoever has galls to charm me, I will do her.¡±

    He was joyfully satisfied. As for whether what he had done was an act of provocation toward those gods¡¯ descendants, he had no fear. So long as he could ascend to godhood in this trial, with the rule put in ce by the Sin God that forbade gods killing each other, they would not be able to do anything to him. At most, they would only be able to restrict the amount of faith he obtained.

    Even so, so what? Even the lowest of gods was better off than an apostle.

    Swish!

    With a sh, he vanished. His target was still the same: the end of this world. However, after only a short while, he saw numerous words being carved on the huge mountain range before him. Even with the speed he was traveling at, he could not ignore the words, as they were directed at him.

    The cold words could be seen clearly: ¡°Do you think you are truly immune to the power of charm?¡±

    ¡°Mhm?¡±

    The fast guy¡¯s heart trembled as he saw these words. So some other people were trying to intercept him? Moreover, it seemed like they were going to use the power of charm on him? Hmph. What was there to fear? With his speed...

    The fast guyughed with a perverted expression on his face. ¡°Since you guys insist on inviting the wolf into the group ofmbs, do not me me for what I am about to do.¡± The pleasure he had enjoyed during that half-second deed was still fresh in his memory. However, after a step forward, he saw another row of words. ¡°Do you think that only prettydies can use the power of charm?¡±

    Thump.

    The fast guy¡¯s heart thumped violently as he saw these words. All prettydies? Evidently, that was not the case. In fact, there were quite a few believers of charm-rted godly powers that possessed rather ordinary looks, and there were some that were quite ugly as well.

    The fast guy clenched his teeth. ¡°It does not matter.¡±

    In any case, after the power of charm took effect on him, whoever he saw, that person would appear unprecedentedly beautiful. This was the essence of the power of charm, a power that would bring one into thend of fantasy uncontrobly. So what if the user of the power was an ugly person? With a clench of his teeth, it would already be over.

    However, when he reached the next mountain range, he hissed in horror. That was because the words carved here were thus: ¡°Do you think only females will use the power of charm?¡±

    Instantly, the fast guy was horrified. It couldn¡¯t be, right? No, no way. Among the apostles that were participating in this trial, those equipped with the power of charm should all be female. Furthermore, it was said that the god that presided over the domain of charm was extremely strict when epting believers. The physical appearance, voice, and body shape of the believers had to be of top quality to be epted.

    Therefore, that god would most certainly not select ugly and scary-looking fellows as believers. This had to be the case. Whoever had carved these words, that person had to be trying to deceive him...

    ¡°No, no way. Absolutely impossible.¡±

    Shua!

    As he reached the next mountain range, yet another row of words appeared: ¡°Do you think that only those of a single race can use the power of charm?¡±

    Thump.

    The fast guy¡¯s expression changed drastically. Race? True. Not all races had resembled the gods. Even though therge majority of the apostles resembled gods, some races were rather different. For instance, the giant-elephant race, or the spirit-snake race. What if the charm user happened to be from one of these races?

    ¡°No, no way.¡±

    Horror was stered on the fast guy¡¯s face. On the next mountain range, a figure could be seen floating in the air. An oddly shaped figure could be vaguely seen, seemingly waiting for his approach. So long as he approached, he would most definitely be charmed by this figure. However, this was the only path forward.

    That figure... The fast guy was extremely rmed. At this point, he was already clear on what exactly it was that was waiting for him. This was most certainly an odd-looking, ugly male apostle of an unknown race with a terrifying body. And this person was also a user of the power of charm.

    The fast guy did not even have the courage to imagine what would happen if he advanced forth. But... he was already so near to godhood. Did he truly have to stop here?

    As the fast guy approached, the figure¡¯s appearance became clearer and clearer. He could already picture how scary this person was. He had already started imagining how terrible his fate would be upon his arrival. However...

    ¡°I can do it.¡± He clenched his teeth and decided to continue charging forth. ¡°I will just close my eyes. It will be over in the blink of an eye.¡±

    Shua!

    He streaked forth. Indeed, as soon as he entered the effective range, he started to lose consciousness. He could feel the boundless godly power of charm engulfing him. This was exactly as he had guessed. As for the person before him, it was most certainly an extremely ugly one.

    ¡°Darling, here you are.¡±

    Before the fast guy could even focus, an immense force could be felt pulling him into an embrace. After half a second, after the fast guy had ¡°left his seed,¡± he fled in horror. Only after he was free of the power of charm was he able to see clearly what exactly he had encountered earlier. That body... and that ugliness... nearly caused him to vomit up everything he had eaten from his birth until now. This feeling was especially pronounced when he recalled the sight of that person lying on the ground with a satisfied expression.

    ¡°Urghhh...¡±

    The fast guy sped forth while he vomited. Far away, the observing apostles werepletely stunned. Instinctively, they all looked at the young apostle. At this moment, that young apostle had a stupefied expression as well.

    ¡°I thought that... he would stop.¡±

    As the other apostles heard this, they focused and took a good look at the charm user. The moment they got a good look, they all started to vomit as well. The fast guy... would even do it with this fellow?

    The young apostle sighed. ¡°I have underestimated his desire for godhood.¡±

    At present, he held the deepest respect for the fast guy. After all, that person was willing to do that deed even with such a person. The other apostles had a simr feeling as well.

    ¡°This old man has never admired anyone, yet this time, I truly can¡¯t stop myself from admiring that fast guy.¡±

    ¡°Same here.¡±

    ¡°Indeed, nothing is impossible in life.¡±

    Someone even patted the young apostle¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°You tried your best.¡±

    The young apostle: ¡°...¡±

    At this moment, everyone stopped what they were doing. Regardless of their opinions of the fast guy, regardless of how much they looked down on him, when he could endure doing it with even such a life-form, they had to feel heartfelt admiration toward him. With one look, everyone knew that this was a person with great perseverance.

    ¡°Looks like the winner of this divine seat has already been determined.¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing to be done about it. His willpower is incredibly firm. Nobody can contend against him in terms of willpower.¡±

    ¡°I can do it as well.¡±

    ¡°Are you sure?¡±

    ¡°Why not? Isn¡¯t it just sleeping with a male of a certain race? What... Ughhh... No, don¡¯t show me the video. Why is he so disgusting?¡±

    ¡°Why else would everyone admire him?¡±

    Swish! Swish!

    Almost everyone had already stopped advancing. They looked toward the end of the world, at that distant ce where the divine seat sat. They watched on as the streak of light that was the fast guy pierced through space and headed toward that ce. If the fast guy was truly going to be the one to obtain this divine seat, it would be pointless for them to continue fighting.

    As such, all the apostles stopped and only watched on silently as that dazzling streak issued a challenge to the divine seat.

    ¡°His strength is very weak.¡±

    ¡°He has been speeding through the entire time and has exhausted too much godly power.¡±

    ¡°Why not stop and take a rest?¡±

    ¡°I suppose he is afraid of being overtaken. After paying such a heavy price, he has to ascend in this trial. However, it does not matter even if he is exhausted. After all, this is a low-tier trial.¡±

    ¡°True.¡±

    Swish! Swish!

    The streak shone dazzlingly.

    ¡°His speed is even faster now.¡±

    ¡°I originally thought that he would only be slightly faster than us. Surprisingly, his speed has already reached this level. Nobody is even capable of catching up to his shadow.¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s there.¡±

    Everyone¡¯s mood became solemn at this moment.

    Bang!

    That white clump charged toward the divine seat.

    He had to emerge victorious in this trial. And thus, with his superb speed, he charged at the divine seat, which had seemingly boundless godly power. He was taking on the trial¡¯s final challenge.

    ¡°The mirror image is going to appear from the divine seat.¡±

    ¡°I wonder how strong the mirror image will be.¡±

    ¡°It does not matter, as it will only exhibit 1% of the original god¡¯s strength...¡±

    ¡°True.¡±

    ¡°This is simply free for the taking.¡±

    All the apostles started toment this.

    Bang!

    The entire world trembled as the white streak charged onto the divine seat like a meteor. However, neither the expected fight over the divine seat nor the mirror image of the original god appeared. The only thing they could see was the fast guy mustering all his godly power and colliding with the divine seat. And then... he died from the impact of the collision.

    ng!

    The loud ng and the sttering of blood that followed stunned everyone.

    Shua!

    The entire worldpsed into silence. The apostles were all stupefied. Even the observing gods were stupefied. Everyone was stupefied. Dead... from the collision? That¡¯s right. Their eyes had not failed them. Even if that divine seat was so far away, at the other end of the world, they were still able to capture this terrifying sight with their senses. The fast guy had died by way of collision.

    ¡°He beat himself to death?¡±

    ¡°What in the world is this?¡±

    ¡°This fast bro here is so fast that he killed himself with his speed?¡±

    All the apostles nked for a long time before erupting into a mor. What was going on here? Dying from a collision?

    ¡°Has anyone here challenged a divine seat before?¡± they asked doubtfully.

    ¡°Me,¡± a certain apostle answered, yet his voice was filled with doubt as well. ¡°For a divine seat challenge, normally, one only needs to reach the vicinity of the divine seat and issue a challenge. The mirror image will then appear. The so-called ¡®issuing a challenge¡¯ is a simple act of transmitting one¡¯s thoughts to the divine seat. After all, mirror images are created for the sake of being challenged. So long as it senses hostility, it will appear to ept the challenge. What happens next depends on the strength of the challenger.

    ¡°The few divine seat trials I have encountered all progressed simrly. There were some who directly attacked the seat in the past. However, generally, the mirror image appears automatically to receive the attack. After all, the act of attacking is simr to the act of challenging. But this situation... I can¡¯t make sense of it. The mirror image was supposed toe out when the fast guy charged at the seat. But now...¡±

    That apostle appeared utterly confused. The other apostles chilled as they heard this. Could it be that this was a different type of trial?

    A certain apostle spoke meekly. ¡°Do you guys feel that... there is a possibility? Perhaps the fast guy moved so fast that the mirror image couldn¡¯t even react to it before he was already dead...¡±

    Shua!

    The entire worldpsed into silence. The apostles looked at each other. After thinking about it, when they recalled the two deeds the fast guy had performed on his way to the divine seat, they felt like this was probably what had happened. Since a mirror image was a challenge for the apostles, it signified that a mirror image¡¯s strength would be between the realm of a god and an apostle, not something an apostle could never defeat. And this time, the mirror image would most definitely be incredibly weak, since Chen Feng was the one who had unlocked this trial.

    With such a weak mirror image, it was quite likely that it had indeed failed to react to the fast guy¡¯s approach in time. As the apostles thought of this possibility, they did not know whether tough or cry.

    ¡°This is truly...¡±

    Dying by collision... This could actually happen. What more could they say? Within the divine seat, Ye, who had been about to make a move, was also stupefied. That¡¯s right. Ye had already prepared to make a move. Even though he had no intention of revealing himself before that culprit and that silhouette revealed themselves, he had no intention of letting these apostles off. That was why he had been prepared to make a move against the fast guy.

    s, he had not seen thising. It wasn¡¯t that he hadn¡¯t been able to react in time. Rather, he had been nning to kill that fast guy after he broke the divine seat. Unexpectedly, the illustrious apostle had actually killed himself with the collision. Perhaps this was because of the exhaustion of his godly power, or perhaps it was because of the individual¡¯s direct personality. Nevertheless, this truly caused him to be speechless.

    Ye sighed deeply. ¡°Is this what the apostles that my era has created are like?¡±

    One ought to know that back then, in the era of the Creation God, the world had been filled with geniuses. In this trial, he had initially been scared that too many apostles would die, affecting his n. Now that he looked at it, he had truly been overthinking it.

    ¡°A bunch of idiots.¡±

    Ye inhaled deeply.

    ...

    ¡°Haha!¡±

    ¡°This bro here just killed himself trying to show off.¡±

    ¡°In short, the divine seat is still up for grabs...¡±

    Suddenly, the gazes of all the apostles burned with passion.

    Even though that bro¡¯s death had been rather tragic, thanks to that, the divine seat was still there, waving its hand at them. With this, this alien world, which had calmed down, bustled yet again.

    Whoosh! Whoosh!

    Numerous figures started heading toward the divine seat. However, their speeds were not even one-tenth of the fast guy¡¯s speed. Therefore, battles between apostles erupted yet again. All the apostles were charging crazily at the end of the world.

    Some of the god¡¯s descendants sneered. ¡°Hehe.¡± These pathetic apostles had yet to realize where they stood. No matter how weak this god¡¯s mirror image was, it was not something they could hope toy their hands on. They were ultimately nothing but cannon fodder. Naturally, not even these god¡¯s descendants realized that, all along, the Sin God¡¯s gaze had been focused on the slowly approaching silhouette. This trap that had been activated with Chen Feng as the bait... Who exactly was this silhouette?

 Chapter 783 - The Godâ€™s Descendant Makes His Move

    Chapter 783: The God¡¯s Descendant Makes His Move

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Within the alien world, the silhouette was still unhurriedly approaching the divine seat. As he was trying to preserve his strength, he was moving slowly. Or perhaps his subconscious mind did not want to arrive too quickly, preferring to move slowly. If he moved slowly, other apostles would overtake him and challenge the divine seat before him.

    He wanted the others to exhaust Ye¡¯s strength. It would be even better if Ye was defeated. It did not matter to him who ascended to godhood here. That was because he only had one goal: pulling Ye down from the high and above position he currently upied.

    He traversed slowly, yet when the other apostles saw him, not a single person dared to make a move against him. After all, the aura he was emanating was too powerful. That coupled with the slow speed at which he moved made him an undesirable target. They might as well use the energy to charge forth rather than waste it tangling with him.

    Evidently, this silhouette was not the only person thinking this way. In a certain location, a certain figure was also moving forth unhurriedly. His speed was even slower than the silhouette¡¯s, and he did not emanate a shy or terrifying aura. Just like that, he slowly advanced in a subdued manner.

    Without a doubt, this person was Chen Feng. He was also the only person here that knew the truth, apart from the silhouette. He knew who the actual enemy was, and he was aware who the god being challenged in this trial was. As such, he was not in a hurry.

    ¡°With this being the divine seat of Ye, nobody will be able to seed,¡± Chen Feng mused. After all, this was the Sin God. Apart from that silhouette, who was already prepared to face Ye, Chen Feng had zero confidence in anyone. However, the others were still good for one thing: exhausting Ye¡¯s strength.

    Ye¡¯s mirror image here only had 1% of Ye¡¯s godly power. Regardless of how powerful this mirror image was, there would still be a limit to his godly power. If these apostles challenged him without stop... Chen Feng stood a chance to profit from this.

    The only person he needed to pay attention to was that silhouette, the person representing the culprit that had caused the activation of this trial. Since he had dared toe, his strength was most definitely not any weaker than the Sin God¡¯s mirror image.

    Of course, Chen Feng was also paying attention to other apostles with unique abilities like the fast guy from earlier. That fast guy¡¯s appearance had been some unexpected. However, if too many of these unexpected people appeared, something unexpected would truly happen.

    ¡°I suppose there won¡¯t be too many such apostles?¡± Chen Feng guessed. After all, apostles did not use their own godly power. Rather, they used the power of whatever god they believed in. This waspletely unlike the gic abilities of the Gic Era. Therefore, there shouldn¡¯t be many of those surprising abilities, right?

    Nevertheless, the incident where the fast guy had encountered the ugly male earlier was still fresh in his mind. If he were the one to encounter such a person...

    Chen Feng gasped in horror. That fast guy had had the courage a true man should have. Unfortunately, Chen Feng was sure that he would not have such courage. In his memories, a person this ugly had probably reached Kong Bai¡¯s level of ugliness.

    ...

    Within the alien world, a certain white streak was traveling. After the fast guy, yet another guy with terrifying speed had appeared. Learning from the fast guy¡¯s example, he moved in a low-profile manner, not trying to be the first to arrive. He was sure that he would notmit a mistake as idiotic as the fast guy¡¯s. However, he had still been noticed by a lot of people.

    Some of the apostles frowned.

    ¡°Yet another one?¡±

    Someone sneered. ¡°This person is fast. However, he is far slower than the fast guy.¡±

    ¡°If he arrives before everyone else...¡±

    ¡°Hmph. Since when have godhood trials be merepetitions of speed? I remember that even if an apostle seeds in the challenge, the other apostles can still challenge him. Whoever seeds in the challenge is able to be a god.¡±

    ¡°How is it that easy? The moment one seeds in the challenge, they will receive a burst of power from the divine seat. This mirror image is extremely weak at only 1% strength. Therefore, it is possible for us to seed in the challenge. However, if the mirror image is reced with an apostle who has seeded in the challenge, coupled with the burst of power he gains... Hehe, do you have any idea how difficult the challenge will be then?¡±

    Some of the apostles smiled bitterly as they thought about this. In fact, this was quite simple to understand. If a challenger was able to seed, the challenger was definitely a powerful individual. For instance, if thebat power of the mirror image was rated at 100, a challenger had to havebat power surpassing 100 to seed in the challenge.

    After his sess, he would receive a burst of power, increasing his godly power greatly. As such, what the next challenger would have to face could very well be abat power of 200. And if the divine seat was sessfully upied by a second challenger, the difficulty would further increase, as the second challenger was evidently much stronger.

    Therefore, the easiest challenge was normally the first challenge. As for this trial activated by Chen Feng, it was a rather scary one. Due to the trial¡¯s mirror image being too weak, the mirror image probably only had abat power of 10. Therefore, the first person to arrive would have a significant advantage over the others. They would be the most likely to ascend in this trial. This was what resulted in this unique situation where this trial had transformed into apetition of speed.

    ¡°This won¡¯t do.¡±

    Some of the gods¡¯ descendants started frowning. They would not allow a godhood trial to turn into nothing but a race.

    Some of them couldn¡¯t hold back any longer and started taking action.

    Bang!

    Terrifying godly power engulfed the entire alien world, instantly slowing down the speed of that person. For a moment, flight waspletely prohibited in this world. He had now been suppressed due to his speed being too fast.

    ¡°Hmph. Because the fast guy was the first to use speed, we were caught by surprise. Now someone is actually trying to imitate him?¡±

    Some of the gods¡¯ descendants sneered. Naturally, there were some words left unspoken by them. What remained unspoken was that the fast guy had truly been too fast, to the point that they hadn¡¯t even been able to react in time. However, how could they allow others to do the same?

    ¡°Scram!¡±

    Numerous astonishing restrictions descended upon this world, causing all who tried to get ahead through speed to be forcefully stopped.

    A certain god¡¯s descendant looked at an apostle beside him as he asked, ¡°Can you keep this up?¡± The person who had done all this was a follower of his. For him to forbid flight and speed, his exhaustion of godly power was certainly rather high.

    That apostle smiled. ¡°No harm. In any case, I am not going to participate in the challenge anyway.¡±

    The god¡¯s descendant nodded slightly. ¡°It has been hard on you.¡±

    Suddenly, in a low voice, the apostle said, ¡°They are already there. If you wish to...¡±

    ¡°Mhm.¡± The god¡¯s descendant nodded without a change in expression. The followers he had brought this time were all rather mature. None of them were focused on purebat roles. All of them were here with support roles so as to help him be the first to challenge the divine seat. The fast guy from earlier had been an ident. Now it would be his turn to issue a challenge.

    Swish! Swish!

    Within the dusky world, with the restrictions put in ce, nobody was able to travel via spatial abilities. However, nobody realized that, on the ground, in a ce no one could see, a certain rat was moving on at an astonishing speed, undetected by anyone.

    In fact, this rat had been the first to enter this world. Even when the fast guy had appeared, this rat had never stopped moving. At present, it had finally reached the divine seat. Suddenly, the rat squeaked.

    Hum¡ª

    A bizarre fluctuation rippled out, rming countless people.

    ¡°This...¡±

    All the apostles looked in the direction the fluctuation wasing from.

    Instantly, the rat vanished amid the dazzling radiance it had emitted. Next, a familiar figure appeared. This was precisely the very god¡¯s descendant that had restricted everyone¡¯s speed a short while ago.

    ¡°Damn it!¡±

    ¡°That rat exchanged position with him!¡±

    ¡°It is actually the godly power of shift.¡±

    ¡°I seem to recall that all the followers he brought along this time specialize in such abilities.¡±

    Everyone¡¯s expression sank. One ought to know that most of the followers of the gods¡¯ descendants were only here to help the gods¡¯ descendants obtain the divine seat. As such, they all possessed rather respectablebat power. Unexpectedly, this god¡¯s descendant had followed in the footsteps of the fast guy, relying on speed to arrive before the others.

    ¡°I am here to issue a challenge.¡±

    Bang!

    The instant the god¡¯s descendant arrived, he attacked the divine seat. A terrifying power bloomed, the power of a level 20 apostle.

    Chapter 784: Horrifying Sight

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    ¡°How hateful.¡±

    ¡°Someone got ahead of me yet again.¡±

    Everyone felt regretful. It hadn¡¯t been that long since the fast-guy incident, yet the divine seat was once again being challenged. It seemed like this divine seat would not have anything to do with them, themon apostles.

    ¡°It is actually this fellow...¡±

    Some of the gods¡¯ descendants recognized this person. Among the gods¡¯ descendants, this person was aparatively weaker one. Unexpectedly, he had actually gotten ahead of everyone using such a unique method.

    That gods¡¯ descendant howled with wildughter. ¡°Hahaha, daddy is here!¡±

    Bang!

    A loud boom erupted from the divine seat that was attacked. For the first time, a mirror image appeared from the divine seat.

    ¡°It¡¯s starting.¡±

    ¡°The mirror image has finally appeared...¡±

    ¡°Tsk tsk, wouldn¡¯t it have been nice if this guy had died from running into the divine seat like the fast guy?¡±

    ¡°...¡±

    As the others heard this, they rolled their eyes. How was that even possible? Apart from the fast guy, who could be so idiotic?

    Bang!

    The god¡¯s descendant shone resplendently as he unleashed his greatest might. As everyone saw this, they sighed, as it seemed like this divine seat would temporarily fall under the control of this person. s, when that radiance faded, the entire world suddenlypsed into silence. When the gods¡¯ descendant attacked with formidable godly power, the mirror image merely waved his hand, and the gods¡¯ descendant instantly froze and was suspended in midair.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    ¡°Holy shit, this...¡±

    Everyone¡¯s eyes went wide. The mirror image had actually blocked the attack? No, that was not just blocking. From the looks of it...

    Shua!

    Before anyone had recovered from their shock, the mirror image waved his hand a second time.

    Pu!

    Blood sttered everywhere. Just like that, the powerful god¡¯s descendant was ripped apart.

    ¡°This!!!¡±

    Bang!

    Everyone¡¯s scalp went numb. Dead? Just like that? In such a manner? That mirror image had only waved his hand, right? As they thought about this, they couldn¡¯t help but shudder in fear. All the apostles that were rushing over at top speed immediately stopped.

    Shua!

    The entire worldpsed into silence, a terrifying silence. Everyone was greatly rmed at what they had seen. How could this... Didn¡¯t this a mirror image only have 1% of the original god¡¯s strength?

    Was this not the mirror image of a deceased god? Why was this mirror image so strong? And why was this mirror image so ruthless? What exactly was going on here? Nobody could provide an answer. Even the apostles that had rich experience in godhood trials were dripping wet with cold sweat, as this was their very first time seeing such a horrifying scene.

    What, exactly, was going on here? At the distant end of the world, the mirror image could be seen returning into the divine seat. He had merelye out to wave his hand about before returning. Nobody had any idea what was going on. That mirror image seemed rather familiar, yet when they tried paying close attention to him, he seemed so unfamiliar.

    ¡°How can this...¡± someone asked with a hoarse voice, yet nobody bothered to answer.

    ¡°Interesting.¡± Despite what had happened, the silhouette insteadughed. Worthy of being the Sin God indeed. He only needed to use such a method once to scare and warn everyone else. This would be sufficient to cause the other participants to lose their confidence. With the number of challengers reduced, he wouldn¡¯t have to exhaust as much godly power.

    With this, would these apostles start to give up? It was as expected. At this moment, a huge number of apostles started to lose their confidence. What kind of joke was that? A huge number of them were aware that their chance of actually ascending to godhood was incredibly low. Most of them were only here to join in on the fun, to have a chance to approach a divine seat or somewhat increase their strength. That was all they wished for.

    Moreover, most of them were also here to try their luck. What if they just happened to be lucky enough to be the one to ascend? Yet now, when failure equaled death, they no longer had any motivation to even give the challenge a try.

    Moreover, they even started retreating backward. The mirror image being able to kill a level 20 apostle with a wave of his hand was truly outside of their expectations.

    Two particr gods¡¯ descendants directly gave up.

    ¡°This god is too strong. I forfeit.¡±

    ¡°Indeed...¡±

    The silhouette wasn¡¯t the least surprised by this. It seemed like he had to make a move personally after all. If possible, he truly wished to keep his identity concealed. Just as he decided that he had no choice but to make a move, a voice suddenly rang out. ¡°I seem to recall that there is a limitation to the amount of godly power a mirror image can have, right?¡±

    At this sentence, everyone seemed to awake from their reverie at the same time. True, the godly power was limited. Regardless of how powerful the mirror image was, so long as the godly power was exhausted...

    ¡°Do not forget. This trial was activated for Chen Feng. Regardless of how strong the mirror image is, only 1% of the god¡¯s godly power is avable to him,¡± that apostle said unhurriedly. Finally, everyone recovered from their shock. True. However strong it was, there had to be a limit. With so many apostles here, what was there to fear? If one wouldn¡¯t do, they would use 10 or even 100! So long as this mirror image¡¯s godly power was exhausted, wouldn¡¯t he bepletely helpless?

    ¡°Well then, who shall be the first to go?¡±

    Everyone looked at each other. Not a single one of them was willing to answer this question. The first to make their move would inevitably be the first to die. Regardless of how weak this mirror image was, it would probably be able tost more than 10 rounds against the barrage of apostles. At that time, luck would y a role in deciding who survived. At the very least, this was what the apostles here believed.

    That apostle spoke calmly. ¡°It is quite simple. Who says that the first to make a move has to be in danger? I know that a lot of the apostles here have no intention of actually ascending into godhood. In that case, how about allowing these apostles to go first? Around 100 of them will be sufficient. Moreover, if this mirror image is truly too weak, one of the weaker apostles might have the good fortune of ascending to godhood. What do you guys think of this n?¡±

    Everyone¡¯s eyes shone. That was indeed true. Under normal circumstances, these weak apostles would have no hope of seeding in such a trial. If this n was followed, though...

    ¡°Therefore, those willing to be part of the first wave of attackers, please step out. As for the rest, I will assume that you are dering that you are interested inpeting for this godhood. These people will be ssified as the enemies of those vying for this particr godhood...¡± That apostle smiled toyingly as he finished his sentence. The word ¡°enemies¡± seemingly had a profound meaning attached to it.

    With this, the apostles that had been thinking of staying back to take advantage of the chaos had no choice but to stand out and offer themselves. With this, only the gods¡¯ descendants and theparatively powerful apostles were left behind. In this situation, if the weaker apostles dared to stay behind, they would truly die.

    ¡°Very good. Whates next will be extremely simple...¡±

    ¡°Those in the first wave, we shall silently approach the divine seat together. Next, attack together. Naturally, remember to spread around so as to not get caught in a single attack. If you guys can kill that mirror image immediately, a god shall be born among you guys,¡± that apostle said with a smile.

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±

    Nearly everyone expressed their approval. With this, the first wave attackers were given some hope and turned into cannon fodder.

    ¡°Remember. Enough of this mirror image¡¯s godly power must be exhausted before he can actually be defeated. Therefore... do your best,¡± that apostle said with a smile.

    Suddenly, one of the gods¡¯ descendants looked at him and asked, ¡°What is your name? If I am able to ascend here, I shall ept you as my follower.¡±

    ¡°Qin Hai,¡± that apostle answered with a smile. ¡°I shall await your ascension.¡±

 Chapter 785 - Clearing with High Efficiency

    <h4>Chapter 785: Clearing with High Efficiency</h4>

    <strong>Trantor:</strong> Limostn <strong>Editor:</strong> Tennesh

    Qin Hai had a very good n. At the very least, it seemed like a really good n, as it gave everyone some sort of hope at godhood ascension. Even the first wave of attackers, who were essentially cannon fodder, had a shot at ascension.

    This was what Da Long believed. He was one of the 100 apostles in the first wave. Under normal circumstances, a normal apostle like him would have no hope of ascending, not even a one in ten thousand chance. Yet this time, he had a one in a hundred chance to seed. Therefore, he had to give it a shot.

    As the apostle of an unknown minor god, he had to rely on himself for his future. After all, his own god was already in a rather precarious position and would not be able to do much to help him. As such, he wanted to ascend.

    He looked at the apostles around him and found that quite a few of them had simr thoughts. A 1% chance... This was the nearest they had ever been to godhood. As for what that would happen after ascending, the challenge that woulde from the stronger apostles, they were all of the opinion that after ascending, with the boost in godly power they would receive, they would be able to hold on to their divine seat.

    As such, this was an opportunity they had to fight for. As such, when attacking the divine seat, they unleashed all their might.

    ¡°Divine seat, herees daddy!¡± Da Long roared as he attacked the divine seat. At the same time, the other 100 apostles erupted. Numerous terrifying attacks surged toward the divine seat like a furious river. Instantly, the entire world was illuminated by a terrifying radiance.

    Bang! Bang!

    The earth shook as the dazzling radiance obstructed everyone¡¯s vision.

    ¡°Has it opened?¡±

    Da Long was filled with expectation. They all knew their own strength. After all, there were a hundred of them here. Regardless of how strong they were or were not, the godly power unleashed by all 100 of them should be sufficient to defeat a mirror image. Therefore, the only thing they were paying attention to was who would obtain the divine seat.

    They all wondered, who would be the person whose attack just happened to be the one to finish the divine seat off?

    Bang!

    With their own eyes, they watched on as the divine seat failed to endure their attack and immediately copsed.

    ¡°Sess!¡±

    All the apostles were overjoyed. From the divine seat, a mirror image appeared. It appeared so very frail.

    Hua¡ª

    Terrifying godly power swept out.

    Just as everyone was waiting for the mirror image to be flooded by godly power, the mirror image lightly raised his hand. And then hezily waved his hand, causing all the godly power heading toward him to immediately turn around.

    Bang!

    At this instant, all the godly power sent forth was sent back at the 100 apostles.

    ¡°Not good.¡±

    Their expressions fell. s, before they could flee, they werepletely submerged in the wave of godly power.

    Pu! Pu! Pu!

    Blood sttered everywhere. The apostles were flung away, all of them suffering grave injuries.

    ¡°How is this possible...¡± Da Long gazed at the mirror image, full of disbelief. He could feel that the mirror image had indeed exhausted a huge amount of his power when their attacks had reached the divine seat earlier. When the mirror image had appeared in the open, he had appearedpletely powerless. Yet that attack... What was it? Some sort of ability? How could a mere mirror image be so powerful?

    Da Long was at a loss. One ought to know that this mirror image had only 1% of the original god¡¯s strength. How could he... With this level of strength, if this mirror image was at its full power, wouldn¡¯t he be as strong as the Sin God?

    Hold on. Sin God? Da Long looked at the mirror image, feeling like it looked extremely familiar, like it greatly resembled a certain terrifying existence... Could it be...

    Pu.

    A mouthful of blood was coughed up as Da Long lost consciousness.

    Shua!

    The worldpsed back into silence. A huge number of apostles were already unconscious. The mirror image, which had always been hidden within the divine seat, was finally exposed to everyone. His powerful godly power and skillful abilities surpassed everyone¡¯s expectation.

    Despite that, it was clear that this mirror image did not have much godly power left. Otherwise, why were the 100 bugs that had dared provoke him still alive? Because he was kind? That was evidently not the case. Rather, the amount of godly power he had was truly pitifully low.

    Nobody bothered with the unconscious or dead apostles. At this moment, the gods¡¯ descendants all looked at the mirror image with greed in their eyes. At this moment, that majestic-looking mirror image was nothing but amb waiting for ughter in their eyes. Look at how that mirror image was swaying about there. This was a mirror image that could die at any moment. What if...

    They all believed that during the first wave, the participants had each had a 1% chance of seeding. Now, they had a 10% chance at seeding.

    A certain god¡¯s descendant howled withughter and stepped out. ¡°Let me do it.¡±

    Bang!

    His godly power surged out as he charged at that mirror image. However, with a loud boom, his attack was blocked. Next, the mirror image¡¯s hand glowed with a ck radiance, and with a wave of his hand, he killed the god¡¯s descendant.

    ¡°Dead?¡±

    The other gods¡¯ descendants were rmed at this sight. Truly dead? Fear started seeping into their eyes.

    Suddenly, Qin Hai said, ¡°He won¡¯t be able to hold on much longer. If he had only defeated the god¡¯s descendant, it would not hold much significance. But his act of killing is obviously a warning to scare others off from attacking, proving how weak he currently is. Look properly, everyone. Look at the mirror image.¡±

    After killing the god¡¯s descendant, that mirror image indeed appeared even more translucent. He was indeed forcefully holding on. This mirror image was probably at his weakest point.

    Qin Hai shook his head. ¡°He will fall at any time. However, how much longer he can hold on still remains a question.¡±

    The other gods¡¯ descendants exchanged nces in hesitation. Should they charge forth? If they did, they might die. However, if they did not, they might miss this rare chance to be a god. None of them knew exactly when would this mirror image fall for real.

    Nevertheless, there was still risk associated with this. Therefore, the apostles thatcked ambition gave up, leaving only the ambitious ones greedily looking at the mirror image. Should they go? Everyone was hesitating.

    Qin Hai smiled. ¡°Why don¡¯t we use the same method? Attack together. It is impossible for this fellow to be able to kill everyone. Look at the first wave of attackers. They merely suffered heavy injuries. For the powerful gods¡¯ descendants, it will definitely be impossible for him to kill anyone if we force him to separate his godly power to deal with multiple attacks. With this, everyone will have a chance to seed. As for who will be the final victor, that will have to depend on luck,¡± Qin Hai expressionlessly said.

    Nearly all the gods¡¯ descendants were tempted when they heard him. This indeed seemed like it could work. After all, without risk, there wouldn¡¯t be any reward. They were all gods¡¯ descendants. How could they be defeated like this?

    And thus, Qin Hai¡¯s proposal was immediately epted. This time, the situation was different from the first wave. The first wave of attackers had been cannon fodder in the truest sense. These gods¡¯ descendants were simply unable to restrain themselves from the temptation of godhood. Rather than use their lives as a gamble, they would rather reduce the sess rate by attacking together, as this would guarantee their safety.

    ¡°Let¡¯s do it.¡±

    They gathered together and prepared to make their move. There were 10 of them in this group, each with a 10% chance to seed.

    Bang!

    Instantly, boundless godly power erupted. A dazzling radiance bloomed.

    ¡°Here it starts.¡±

    Qin Hai focused his gaze and watched on silently.

    <i>With this, you will no longer have anypetition. With this, the godly power of this mirror image should be truly exhausted.</i>

    As for the possibility of this mirror image suffering defeat right here, Qin Hai was of the opinion that it was impossible. After all, this was Ye!

    <h4>Chapter 786: Mere Idiotic Chess Pieces, Right?</h4>

    <strong>Trantor:</strong> Limostn <strong>Editor:</strong> Tennesh

    <i>What¡¯s going on?</i> When Chen Feng arrived, this bizarre sight was what he saw. Nearly all the apostles were down. The weaker apostles were unconscious, whereas the gods¡¯ descendants were covered in injuries. Even the mirror image seemed to be on the verge of copse. Oh, there was a dude looking at him.

    ¡°Qin Hai?¡± Chen Feng was pleasantly surprised. Even though they hadn¡¯t met for a long time, he could still recognize Qin Hai with a single look.

    Qin Hai smiled. ¡°It has been a while.¡±

    ¡°This...¡± Chen Feng pointed around. He believed that this had something to do with Qin Hai. Could it be that this fellow was already so strong that he could defeat all the apostles and the mirror image all by himself?

    Qin Hai smiled. ¡°My present to you. As for whates next, you will have to rely on yourself.¡±

    ¡°All right.¡± Chen Feng inhaled deeply, and his gaze focused on the mirror image. Ye seemed like he couldn¡¯t hold on much longer. Could he challenge this Ye? Chen Feng calmed his mind and started walking toward Ye, one step at a time.

    ¡°Now?¡± Qin Hai asked.

    ¡°Wait.¡± Chen Feng proceeded slowly. One step, two steps... Chen Feng was seemingly waiting for something. Only when that familiar aura grew nearer and a nervous expression appeared on the mirror image¡¯s face did Chen Feng truly stand before the mirror image and issue a challenge.

    ¡°Hehe.¡± Ye did not find this surprising. However, at present, he truly couldn¡¯t hold on much longer. Initially, he had nned to kill one to scare everyone off. Evidently, Ye himself had not expected that his act of killing to instead make these apostles go crazy and work together against him. Since when had the apostles been so united? He had no answer to that question.

    At present, he was just a badly damaged mirror image. This was his final stand. The him from yesterday that had still been so high and mighty could never have guessed that the rule he had set up would be used against him, that his divine seat would be used for the trial activated for Chen Feng. He wasn¡¯t the least bit prepared for this. Thus, the only thing he could do to preserve his divine seat was descend upon this mirror image and fight.

    The moment he was defeated, his divine seat would be taken from him. Even though he was iparably powerful in person and the divine seat only contributed a small portion of his actual strength, he still had to worry about the supply of faith.

    If he lost his divine seat, he would lose control over the human world as well. This was what he feared most. At this thought, he looked into the distance. He could sense someone slowly walking toward him. It was the silhouette, the culprit that had used Chen Feng to turn this into a trial for his divine seat.

    He had arrived. This opponent was quite thorny. This was the opponent that had made use of Chen Feng to activate the trial, somehow transforming the trial into one for Ye¡¯s own divine seat. Next, he had managed to get all the apostles to work together to attack him and exhaust all his godly power, and now he had arrived to finish the job. Every single step had been thoroughly nned out,pletely trapping the Sin God.

    <i>Who is this person?</i> wondered Ye. He recognized all of the gods here, yet this silhouette waspletely unfamiliar to him. The silhouette¡¯s aura and body... Ye¡¯s gaze prated the silhouette, directly reaching the void as he wondered who this person was. Even during the Primordial Era, there did not seem to have been such a person. Regardless of whether it was the era of the Creation God or the present era of the Sin God, such a person had never existed.

    This aura was too unfamiliar. However, it no longer mattered. Ye stood up, shrouded by a formidable aura. He truly had very little godly power left in this mirror image. As such, it would be virtually impossible for him to be able to contend against this opponent, one who was no weaker than him and who had spent countless years preparing to trap him in this scheme.

    Ye was sure that this silhouette possessed terrifying strength. Based on his estimation, even were this mirror image at its peak, he would only have a 50% chance of emerging victorious. Since this silhouette dared toe, it was certain that he had thoroughly prepared to deal with Ye. This time, Ye had truly fallen into a trap.

    And what woulde next after he lost his divine seat? What was the opponent¡¯s goal? Ye had no idea. One ought to know that even without the divine seat, Ye was still incredibly powerful. He could retake his divine seat any time he wanted by initiating a trial. As such, the period where he was without a divine seat would definitely be short.

    So what exactly was the opponent¡¯s goal? Or perhaps the opponent did not intend for Ye to survive the period where he was without a divine seat? Ye pondered deeply, time seeming to have stopped moving.

    After losing his divine seat, he would probably still be weakened by about 20% or 30%. As for his opponent? The moment this opponent obtained this divine seat, his strength would increase greatly. Perhaps it would also be boosted by 20% or 30%. With this, the strength difference between the two would be an incredibly scary one.

    If his opponent was somewhat weaker than him, after obtaining the divine seat, a huge gap would appear between their strength levels. Next, that fellow would probably make a move for real toward the Sin God. This opponent¡¯s goal could very well be to kill the Sin God.

    Ye was inherently an intelligent person. As such, he was able to get to the truth almost instantly. This was probably the opponent¡¯s true goal. As for him, he had no way of stopping this and could only watch on helplessly as the opponent seeded in his n. What a terrifying enemy, to be in the nning phase for several decades just so he could ensure that Ye would step into this fatal trap.

    However, even if he couldn¡¯t stop this, he could at least reduce his losses, right? Suddenly, Yeughed. At this time, not far away, a shiny silhouette was slowly approaching him. He had arrived, terrifying energy swirling around him, with a strength capable of eliminating everything.

    It was just as Ye had guessed. Since this silhouette had decided to make a move, he had already prepared everything thoroughly. At present, this weakened Ye was simply amb waiting for the ughter. The n had progressed much smoother than he had expected, and Chen Feng was even more idiotic than he had guessed. As this silhouette looked at Ye and Chen Feng, a sudden lonesome feeling, that of those at the top, emerged in his heart.

    So it turned out that these two were nothing special after all. Regardless of whether it was Ye or Chen Feng, both were weaker and more idiotic than he had imagined. Even though he had indeed caught them by surprise as an observer with his sudden appearance, the way these two had handled this had indeed disappointed him somewhat.

    After all, he had indeed prepared all his trump cards, and hisbat power was much greater than it appeared to be. The only reason he had prepared all this was to deal with anything unexpected that might crop up. s, everything had progressed smoothly.

    All the apostles had been defeated, and Chen Feng had issued a challenge to Ye. These idiotic chess pieces had indeed fought among themselves. Their idiocy was without cure. The silhouette shook his head as hemented.

    Shua! Shua!

    He strode forth with steady steps. In a short while, he reached the vicinity of the mirror image. There, Chen Feng was issuing a challenge toward the mirror image. This was the first sight he saw upon his arrival here. What a perfect start. Even though he was confident, he was sure that it wouldn¡¯t be easy to defeat Ye. As the Sin God, he most certainly had his own trump cards. As such, having this Chen Feng test the waters would be perfect.

    Suddenly, he recalled what the youngdy had told him before this. The n would not seed? Due to Chen Feng? What a joke.

    <i>Little girl, look. Everything has progressed wlessly. Chen Feng? Nothing but a joke.</i>

    Before him, a radiance erupted. Chen Feng had already started attacking, and Ye, as the challenged god, was making his move. He had indeed erupted with a might nobody had expected, an incredibly shocking might. This might... was sufficient to cause apprehension even in the heart of the silhouette.

    The silhouette mused that this might pose even him some sort of inconvenience. Worthy of being Ye, worthy of being the Sin God indeed. Fortunately, Chen Feng was taking this attack on his behalf.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng¡¯s and Ye¡¯s attacks met. Somewhat surprisingly, their attacks merely brushed past each other and did not collide at all. The silhouette was somewhat surprised. No collision? Did they both miss their target? That should not be possible...

    <i>Oh, perhaps they are both ignoring the iing attack so as to ensure that their attacks will hit each other? Indeed, they are already putting their lives on the line. How interesting; are you guyspeting to see who will die first?</i>

    The silhouette looked over and confirmed that Chen Feng¡¯s attack had indeed hit the Sin God¡¯s body. Instantly, the mirror image was near copse. As for the Sin God¡¯s final attack, it was heading toward Chen Feng as well.

    ¡°Tsk tsk...¡±

    The silhouette watched on, amused. His amused feelingsted until the moment when, suddenly, Ye¡¯s attack brushed past Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    Missed? The silhouette¡¯s expression became stern.

    <i>Yet another miss? How is that possible? Oh, right, Chen Feng must have dodged the attack. How interesting.</i>

    The silhouette¡¯s expression became solemn as he surprisingly found that this Chen Feng kid actually had a trump card hidden away. It seemed like this silhouette would have to challenge Chen Feng for the godhood soon. However, the silhouette immediately rxed afterward, as Chen Feng was not a problem as far as he was concerned. This divine seat would still ultimately be his. This was the silhouette¡¯s honest opinion.

    Yet in the next moment, the silhouette¡¯s face fell. That was because the Sin God¡¯s final attack, which possessed iparable might, suddenly sped up and, with shocking speed, went past Chen Feng and directly headed toward him.

    The silhouette was stupefied. What in the world? Were you guys not engaged in a challenge? Why would Ye not attack Chen Feng and instead attack the silhouette with all his might? The silhouette was thoroughly stupefied. However, he was nevertheless a powerful existence. Despite the sudden attack, he was able to react in time. Instantly, he erected a defense. s, Ye¡¯s attack was truly too fast. After all, this was a trump card that Ye¡¯s mirror image had unleashed with all his might.

    Therefore, how would the silhouette be able to defend himself in time when he had only realized that the attack was aimed at him at thest moment?

    Bang!

    The terrifying attack exploded with a boundless divine luster that submerged the silhouette.

    ¡°Damn it!¡± The silhouette was furious. He had not expected this to happen. Nor had he expected that he would be defeated by Ye¡¯s final attack before Ye¡¯s mirror image perished. This... What the hell? Before the silhouette¡¯s destruction, he instinctively looked over at the Sin God. What he saw was a profound smile. That damnable Sin God! Damnable Ye! How would the silhouette still not understand? That bastard Ye was aware that he would not survive. As such, he had decided to grant Chen Feng the divine seat instead.

    Bang!

    The silhouette exploded. It waspletely destroyed. In outer space, that man¡¯s always-shut eyes suddenly opened. His killing intent surged.

    ¡°Damnable Ye!¡± he howled in rage. The death of his clone had caused his strength to be somewhat weakened as well. Beside him, a youngdy poured him a cup of tea, a smile on her face.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± He looked over at the youngdy and snorted, as he knew that she was mocking him.

    ¡°I have underestimated Ye.¡± He took in a deep breath and spoke. ¡°The Sin God is still the Sin God. However, even though there has been a slight mishap in the n, the general direction is still correct. The only change is the survival of Chen Feng. What a lucky guy,¡± he dered, his voice sonorous.

    He was truly surprised that Chen Feng was still so lucky even without the godly power of luck. Surprisingly, Chen Feng had benefited from the struggle between him and Ye. However, it did not matter. Chen Feng was ultimately a chess piece, an extremely weak chess piece.

    At present, his actual opponent was still Ye, and a Ye without his divine seat at that. Even though he had not sessfully obtained the divine seat and the faith of all of humanity, and his strength was declining due to his clone¡¯s destruction, it did not put much of a dent in his n. After all, Ye had been weakened even more than him.

    He stood up and sneered. ¡°Do you think you can avoid this disaster with this? Do you think that I can¡¯t deal with you without ascending into godhood? Hehe. I will no longer look down on you.¡±

    Evidently, he was prepared to make another move on Ye. By his side, the youngdy merely smiled a rather enigmatic smile. Luck... Was it truly luck?

    At this time, within the alien world, after the death of the silhouette, Ye¡¯s mirror image finally crumbled.

    ¡°Ah?¡±

    Chen Feng put on a nk expression. Clearly, he waspletely at a loss.

    ¡°Heh.¡±

    Ye smiled lightly before his mirror image dissipatedpletely. Somewhere else, as Ye¡¯s mirror image dissipated, his consciousness returned to his main body. Instantly, his shrine started to copse, and at the same time, the human world within his eye came out and regained its freedom.

    However, Ye did not pay any attention to this. He knew that without his divine seat, that fellow would be here soon. As for the human world? Well, he would let Chen Feng take care of it in his stead for now. After all, Chen Feng would most certainly take care of the humans properly so as to obtain more believers. When the time came that Ye returned, an even better version of the human world would be there waiting for him, a world with even more believers.

    Naturally, all of this required that he defeat that damnable person. That silhouette... Ye¡¯s expression became solemn as he thought about his opponent. He was aware that a bitter battle was about toe. That mysterious silhouette, that person he had never seen in any era...

    ¡°Who exactly are you? A seed left behind by the Creation God? I doubt it. You do not have his aura. Who can you be, then?¡±

    Slowly, Ye¡¯s gaze became cold.

    In fact, he only needed to select a random god to challenge and he would ascend to godhood once again. However, he did not, as he was aware that he would not be given such a chance. The moment he issued a challenge, his opponent would most certainly appear. Therefore, before he went about regaining his godhood, he had to first deal with that fellow.

    ¡°I will be waiting for you,¡± Ye said with a cold gaze. He was already prepared to have a decisive battle with that silhouette. He was sure that the silhouette had to be on its way here. Unknown to both Ye and that silhouette, when their consciousnesses left the alien world, Chen Feng¡¯s expression changed from its previous nk state to a state of utmost calm. It seemed like his gamble had paid off.

    ¡°Ye indeed won¡¯t allow his opponent to benefit from this,¡± Qin Hai said.

    ¡°True. If it¡¯s me, I would do the same.¡± Chen Feng smiled. ¡°After all,pared to Chen Feng the foolish chess piece, that scheming silhouette is the actual enemy, right?¡±

    As the sandpiper and the m fought, the fisherman caught them both. This was quite a simple n. In the eyes of that silhouette, the idiotic chess pieces would fight each other. That is, Chen Feng and Ye would tear each other apart. The silhouette had expected to be the fisherman reaping the profit. After all, he was the third party here, the one who had always remained an observer.

    Unfortunately, he seemed to have forgotten that from the moment he had entered this world, he had be a chess piece as well. And thus, without realizing it, he had been manipted. In the first wave, the apostles had exhausted Ye¡¯s godly power. In the second wave, the apostles had continued to exhaust Ye¡¯s godly power. All seemed to have been developing in a direction advantageous to the silhouette. The pride he had been feeling had caused him to forget himself.

    Indeed, everything had progressed smoothly, to the point that the situation had seemed irreversible. Regardless of whether it was Chen Feng, Qin Hai, or any other person, none should have been able to reverse the situation. That was because the silhouette was way too powerful.

    However, thanks to how smoothly the n had progressed, thanks to how idiotic Chen Feng and the other chess pieces had been, Ye had been greatly triggered, resulting in that resolute counterattack. Ultimately, both Ye and the silhouette had perished together.

    Chen Feng¡¯s initial n had been to think of something to ensure they both maintained simr levels of strength. With that, there would be a chance for Ye and the mirror image to die together. This was also what a lot of people had been wishing would happen. After all, only when the enemies were equally matched would they be able to fish in the murky water. However, after seeing Qin Hai, Chen Feng had immediately altered his n and followed Qin Hai¡¯s n. Ultimately the n was a sess.

    As they thought about this, Chen Feng and Qin Hai exchanged nces andughed. At times, a look into someone¡¯s eyes was sufficient to convey the required message. And now... Chen Feng stood up as a faint radiance started swirling around him.

    This was the prelude to his ascension to godhood. He had initially thought that he would only ascend after many years. Unexpectedly, he had seeded today. This unexpected incident with the Sin God had allowed Chen Feng to directly ascend. Moreover, he was ascending to the divine seat of the Sin God.

    Bang!

    The swirling radiance became clearer and clearer as boundless godly power started to seep into him.

 Chapter 788 - Godhood Ascension

    <h4>Chapter 788: Godhood Ascension</h4>

    <strong>Trantor:</strong> Limostn <strong>Editor:</strong> Tennesh

    A dazzling radiance appeared from the distant horizon. Before Chen Feng¡¯s eyes was nothing but boundless whiteness. The incident involving Ye and the silhouette had all been forgotten. At present, the only thing in Chen Feng¡¯s mind was ascension.

    Bang!

    Godly power surged out, sting all the apostles away. As for the apostles that had lost consciousness, they woke up at this instant.

    ¡°Is it over?¡±

    They looked at the sky. Within the alien world, only a beam of light could be seen.

    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s over.¡±

    ¡°Has one of us ascended?¡±

    Some of the apostles appeared to still be at a loss. In their memories, after the final attack earlier, they had lost consciousness.

    ¡°No, it¡¯s Chen Feng.¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    Those apostles gasped in rm. Chen Feng? It was actually him? Not far away, godly power surged and shone upon the entire alien world.

    Bang! Bang!

    The divine radiance descended. On Chen Feng¡¯s forehead, divine radiance converged, seemingly trying to form a godly power unique to him. Ultimately, a faint imprint appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s forehead. This godly imprint was unique to Chen Feng. From here on, this would be Chen Feng¡¯s imprint.

    Hum¡ª

    The imprint flickered.

    ¡°So this is a godly imprint?¡±

    Chen Feng did not think about it too much. His ascension would bring about too many changes. However, he did not have time to think about all the changes. The first thing he did was ce his attention on the ex-believers of the Sin God.

    Shua!

    With his very own eyes, he watched as the human world was slowly restored into the outside world. Humanity had returned.

    Chen Feng understood clearly. ¡°The entirety of the human world used to be his believers. As such, he was able to deal with them as he wished. And now, he no longer has his divine seat and can no longer maintain a connection with the human world. As such, the human world has been restored.¡±

    However, he was also sure that the Sin God would notck a divine seat for long. The moment he challenged a random god and obtained a divine seat, he would once again be able to gather faith. At that time, the human world would once again be submerged in suffering.

    As such, Chen Feng had to deal with this as soon as possible. He stood up and gazed at the human world.

    Hum¡ª

    Faint godly power surged out and rained down on the human world.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Everything in the human world that had been transformed into a bead started ovepping with the real world. Slowly, the human world became real. Humanity had returned to this era for real.

    ...

    Suddenly, at this moment, the human world, which had already grown used to the dusky sky, seemingly awakened.

    These years, the sky had been shrouded by eternal darkness. The will of the Sin God had been continuously broadcast throughout the world. Even though the humans knew what kind of person the Sin God was, the act of sin had still spread without stop in this world, sinking the entire human world into chaos. After conquering the entire human world, the Sin God hadn¡¯t had any intention of turning it into a utopia. Rather, his sole intention had been to turn the world into a never-ending supply of faith.

    And what type of faith was required by the Sin God? The faith of sin. As such, the requirements of the Sin God were rather simple. First, the poption of the world had to be sufficient. That was why the entire human world had been plunged into an eternally lustful state. Second, he required sin. Thus, the human world had be awless world.

    This was the perfect world for the Sin God. Therefore, during this period, a lot of people lived lives worse than death. Moreover, this was even under the secret protection of the Misfortune Goddess and the Luck Goddess. Without their protection, the world would have long ago gone down a path of no return.

    With these two goddesses, hope had been preserved among humanity. Hope toward the Gic Era. Regardless of how long it had been since this era passed, regardless of how widespread sin had been, the miracles concerning Chen Feng were still being spread without stop, filling humanity with hope and expectation that he would return.

    Year after year passed, until finally, today arrived. Just when humanity was about to give up hope, the darkness vanished and the shadow of the Sin God, the darkness representing his godly power, was instantly expelled. In the sky, only a majestic radiance was left. Immediately, the earth started trembling.

    The humans that had been living within the bead for quite a while were suddenly returned to the real world. The air and the energy of the world could be clearly sensed. This air was not filled with the godly power of sin. Rather, this was the true natural energy of the world. They had returned! As for that resplendent silhouette of light in the sky above, he was incredibly familiar to the humans.

    ¡°Chen Feng!¡±

    ¡°Chen Feng!¡±

    Numerous howls resounded as they vented the surging feeling within their hearts. Returned! They had finally returned! After 12 years, the human world had finally returned. These 12 years had been hard on humanity.

    During these years, thanks to the special care of the Sin God, only his believers had been able to increase in strength. As such, nearly all the resonators were his fanatical believers. As for the Gic Union, the strongest of them were merely awakened ones. In these 12 years, the Gic Union, who had before held absolute authority, had slowly been beaten into submission by the believers of the Sin God.

    Moreover, the believers of the Sin God were increasing in number without stop. This was what the Sin God had intended. Only with this would those people willingly submit, bing his believers. If Chen Feng had been a bit slower, arge-scale conversion would have begun, and the moment the seed of sin was nted in them, it would no longer have been a matter of belief. At that time, the human world would truly have be a cradle of sin.

    If Chen Feng had arrived after that, it would have been toote to save humanity. It had been extremely hard on the humans. Fortunately, Chen Feng had returned. When the Gic Union was facing an imminent copse, when the human world was about to fully fall, he appeared.

    ¡°This kid...¡±

    The deputy president clenched his fists tightly. He had known that Chen Feng would not die. He had known that this kid would most certainly return. Indeed, Chen Feng had returned, and as an almighty god. At this moment, everyone gazed at the silhouette of Chen Feng in the sky, reverence in their eyes.

    At this moment, numerous divine senses swept past.

    ¡°It is actually Chen Feng,¡± one of the gods said in surprise. These gods had all heard of this so-called number one figure below the apostle realm. This was especially true, since subsequently, he had even upgraded to be the number one figure below the realm of the gods. All along, they had been viewing this Chen Feng as an apostle. As for this divine seat trial, it had, in fact, been activated at the urging of numerous gods. Chen Feng¡¯s name had just been used as an excuse so that their descendants could ascend. Beyond all their expectations, Chen Feng had been the one to ascend. This was truly inconceivable.

    A certain godughed. ¡°Looks like those gods¡¯ descendants will be stamping their feet in anger at this result.¡±

    ¡°True.¡±

    ¡°But then... this Chen Feng has just ascended, yet he already has numerous veteran gods as his enemies. The gains do not seem to make up for the losses, right?¡±

    ¡°Yeah. After all, even though he is now a god, he is just a minor god.¡±

    ¡°Do you guys think that those gods will take revenge on behalf of their descendants?¡±

    ¡°That is inevitable. Even though gods are not allowed to kill each other, he will not be able to avoid being taught a lesson. Even though Chen Feng is now a god, he will not have an easy time anytime soon.¡±

    ¡°Even so, that is still better than staying an apostle, right?¡±

    ¡°True. So long as he survives this period of suppression, he will ultimately still be a god, a being above so many life-forms.¡±

    The numerous gods were conversing. They weren¡¯t particrly bothered about this new god called Chen Feng. After all, they were sure that this god was the weakest god in history. First, Chen Feng¡¯s foundations were too weak, resulting in the tier of the divine seat he had activated being too low. Second, he would suffer the suppression of some powerful gods, resulting in ack of believers.

    One ought to know that even the minor god who had transformed Chen Feng into a resonator was but a pitiful god that could only gather a miserable amount of believers among the territories of the major gods. How could this Chen Feng, who had offended so many gods, do any better? And thus, they were sure that Chen Feng would not have any believers.

    ¡°With his circumstances, who would be willing to follow him?¡± a god said with augh. As for the backers of those gods¡¯ descendants that had failed in the trial, they had all issued orders to block Chen Feng¡¯s source of faith. It seemed like Chen Feng would temporarily be without any faith at all. He would be nothing but a lonely god.

    ¡°I will let you deal with him,¡± a certain god said to his child. This child was precisely one of the gods¡¯ descendants that had lost consciousness during the trial.

    ¡°Since you guys suffered defeat at his hands, I shall let you be the one to deal with him. Without believers, his strength will not grow. He will be forever stuck at this level. When you guys ascend into godhood, you can go challenge him. Chen Feng is ultimately nothing but a stepping stone for you people,¡± that god said unhurriedly.

    ¡°Yes.¡± The god¡¯s descendant was filled with fighting spirit as he heard these words. True, what was a mere defeat? When he ascended, he would defeat Chen Feng! Most of the backers of the gods¡¯ descendants had simr opinions. So what if he was now a god? Cannon fodder would forever be cannon fodder.

    ¡°These bastards.¡± The minor god was furious when he found out about all this. Back then, this was how he had struggled, slowly surviving until today.

    Back then, a certain god¡¯s descendant had tried to benefit from his perceived weakness and snatch his divine seat. Ultimately, he had defeated that god¡¯s descendant and ascended. s, he had also offended that god¡¯s descendant, resulting in him being suppressed, causing him to struggle badly even as a god.

    Ultimately, when that god¡¯s descendant had ascended, that person had returned to defeat him. Only after that had this minor god been let off. And he had only been let off was because gods were not allowed to kill each other. He could remember clearly how only after he had been defeated, only after his face had been pped, had that person left. Only after that incident had he been able to gather a few believers.

    As for Chen Feng, he was in the exact same situation as this minor god had been in the past. The only difference was that the minor god¡¯s enemy back then had only been a single god¡¯s descendant, yet this Chen Feng had offended more than 10 of them. Heavens, how was Chen Feng supposed to grow this way? For a god, ack of believers signified ack of prospects. This was something everyone realized.

 Chapter 789 - Wondrous World

    Chapter 789: Wondrous World

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    ¡°He is now a god.¡± The guy on throne frowned. A minor change had urred in his n. However, his n¡¯s general direction remained unchanged. In his original n, he would have been the one to ascend. He would have been the one to defeat all opposition and kill Ye, then release the human world, bing a god like the Creation God of the past. Yet now, this position had been taken by Chen Feng instead.

    Naturally, Chen Feng was too weak. With his strength, even after ascension, he would still be a weakling. He wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything. At the very least, Chen Feng wouldn¡¯t have much effect on the guy on the throne¡¯s n. As for the matter of believers, it would be quite simple to make those humans his believers.

    The guy on throne pondered the matter but did not seem too bothered. ¡°Well, I shall let you have fun for a few days. Even if Chen Feng is able to transform all of humanity, I still have a way to make them all my believers. Therefore...¡±

    After thinking it through, he decided that his attention should still be focused on Ye. At present, his priority should be Ye, the one with frightening strength.

    ...

    ¡°Chen Feng has ascended.¡±

    The Sin God had also sensed Chen Feng¡¯s aura. Chen Feng¡¯s ascension came as no surprise to him, as he was the one who had personally handed the divine seat to Chen Feng. After all, handing it to Chen Feng was much better than letting that culprit have it. In any case, he had indeed felt a threat of some sort from that culprit.

    With Chen Feng¡¯s ascension, his believers in the human world would naturally be affected. However, it shouldn¡¯t be too major an effect. After all, the human poption was extremelyrge. Moreover, the faith that these intelligent life-forms could provide was much greater in amount than that of the beasts. After a full 12 years of hard work, he had only been able to convert a small portion of humanity into his believers.

    As for Chen Feng? He would only have a few days worth of time to do as he wished with that world. Ye believed that he would only need to spend a day or two dealing with that culprit before he could retake the human world. With only a few days, Chen Feng would not be able to aplish much. How many believers could he gain in such a short period? The poption of the human world surpassed 100 million. The Sin God wasn¡¯t the least bit worried about what Chen Feng could do to a world with such a huge poption.

    How many believers could Chen Feng gather in a few short days? It wouldn¡¯t be many. Even if Chen Feng was allowed free rein, he wouldn¡¯t be able to aplish much. This wasmon sense among gods. As such, this was what both the guy on the throne and Ye thought.

    Unknown to them, the instant Chen Feng appeared, the two godly powers that had been concealed within the human world became active. These two godly powers, which had been spread throughout the world, slowly returned, gradually flowing back into Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    These two were precisely Luck and Misfortune.

    Chen Feng¡¯s mouth curled up into a smile. ¡°You two have arrived.¡±

    ¡°Mhm.¡± Spirit¡¯s bright, wide eyes were filled with joy. They had been waiting for this moment for far too long.

    Spirit smiled gracefully. ¡°I have umted quite a bit of godly power.¡±

    ¡°Same here.¡± Misfortune¡¯s words were as concise as ever.

    ¡°Very good. Well then, let us begin.¡± Chen Feng stretched out both his hands.

    Bang!

    Boundless godly power rippled out. This was his very own godly power, the godly power of Luck and of Misfortune. And thus the entire world started to transform.

    ¡°I have returned. Humanity has returned. However, this is the era of the gods. The Sin God has yet to be defeated. There will be a day when he returns once again to challenge me, to make a move against you all. Therefore, I require your help,¡± Chen Feng said in a sonorous tone. ¡°Together, before the Sin God returns, let us be stronger.¡±

    His every word reverberated throughout the entire human world. The power of luck and misfortune rippled out noiselessly. Nearly everyone in the world heard his words. When they heard his words, seemingly under the effect of a certain power, they all happened to think of a certain issue, that this world indeed required an even stronger guardian.

    Evidently, Chen Feng needed to be stronger as well. They, the believers, would be able to allow Chen Feng to be even stronger. At this thought, some of them even became excited.

    Bang!

    Suddenly, numerous pirs of light shot into the sky. The radiance that was supposed to head toward the Sin God headed toward Chen Feng. Numerous weak powers of faith converged together, bing a huge roaring ocean.

    One hundred...

    One thousand...

    Ten thousand...

    A hundred thousand...

    A million...

    ...

    Bang! Bang!

    Faith converged, forming a torrential river of faith. This river of faith belonged to Chen Feng alone. It was a link between him and his believers. Slowly, this channel reached an extremely terrifying level. The boundless godly power traveled without stop, and like a Milky Way that had descended from the sky, it all poured into Chen Feng¡¯s forehead, entering the imprint there.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    His imprint shone with a resplendent radiance.

    ¡°How is this possible?¡±

    All the apostles were stupefied. Chen Feng had just recently be a god. How could he posses this many believers?

    Even the gods were stunned.

    ¡°This is...¡±

    That surging godly power had surpassed even a huge number of the major gods. It was so terrifying that it could cause one¡¯s heart to flutter. With such godly power, Chen Feng was growing at a rapid speed.

    The numerous life-forms werepletely stunned. They had no idea where Chen Feng had obtained these believers. Thissted until some gods finally noticed the recently appeared world.

    ¡°This world seems to have just appeared?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    ¡°What world is this? This seems to be the source of Chen Feng¡¯s faith. Since he can do it, we can get believers from this world as well.¡±

    ¡°Let me give it a try.¡±

    ¡°Count me in as well.¡±

    And thus, countless gods entered the human world. Surprisingly, they were indeed able to obtain quite arge number of believers. After all, for the humans, these gods were true deities. So what if they believed in one?

    With the arrival of these gods, apart from Chen Feng, the sinners that used to be the Sin God¡¯s believers found new avenues of belief. And thus, more and more gods entered this world. As for Ye, he was busy preparing for his battle with that silhouette,pletely oblivious to the fact that his believers were being split among the various gods.

    All the gods eximed in admiration.

    ¡°All these life-forms are actually godless!¡±

    ¡°Heavens, the speed at which we can gather believers is so fast that it¡¯s inconceivable.¡±

    ¡°What kind of world is this?¡±

    This was but the beginning of what was toe. What surprised them more was the fact that the believers attracted to Chen Feng seemed to be those at the lower rungs of society. These were theparatively weaker ones, the strongest of which were only awakened ones. Naturally, these awakened ones had now resonated with Chen Feng¡¯s godly power and be resonators. Yet in this world, the original powerful resonators all seemed to have ignored Chen Feng.

    ¡°Haha. These resonators have probably chosen not to believe in Chen Feng because he is too weak.¡±

    ¡°That is certain. After all, these resonators are all at around level 9 or 10. They are nearing their breakthrough. Almost every one of them is a future apostle. How could they select someone like Chen Feng?¡±

    ¡°Haha, they are mine.¡±

    ¡°Mine too.¡±

    The gods started proudly fighting over these ¡°strongest resonators.¡±

    In fact, there were quite a lot of these powerful resonators in this world.

    It seemed like these people had originally been with their respective gods; otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t be resonators in the first ce. However, after these gods entered the world, they found that these resonators were all currently godless.

    ¡°They are godless!¡±

    ¡°This is excellent!¡±

    All the gods were enraptured. In their world, even though the resonators of minor gods could be transferred to other gods, they still required the god in question¡¯s agreement. As such, a culture of extortion hade into being. Yet here, these level 9 and 10 resonators, so near the apostle realm, were godless. This was like a feast for the gods.

    ¡°Are their original gods dead?¡±

    ¡°Who cares?¡±

    ¡°Perhaps these life-forms are attached to the original god that upied that divine seat? Since Chen Feng has obtained the seat, this world has thus reappeared...¡±

    ¡°Quite likely.¡±

    ¡°That must be the case.¡±

    ¡°Sigh. If I had known this earlier, I would have gotten my son to give his best shot at obtaining this divine seat.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the point of that? Look at how Chen Feng obtained the divine seat. Yet this world has still been opened for everyone to fight for. For all the gods, this world is filled with riches.¡±

    ¡°True.¡±

    The gods were all overjoyed as they gathered believers without stop, making the humans their believers. Naturally, they were unaware that the believers they had obtained were in fact a minority in this world. Thergest portion was tightly under Chen Feng¡¯s control.

    Chapter 790: The Struggle over Believers

    Godly power continued pouring into Chen Feng. Slowly, the imprint on Chen Feng¡¯s forehead stabilized, and ultimately, the divine seat was fixed in ce. Just as expected, this divine seat was fixed at a position normally upied by the lowest tier of gods.

    Shua!

    Instantly, the divine radiance that filled the sky vanished.

    ¡°Is it over?¡±

    ¡°I guess so.¡±

    ¡°Chen Feng¡¯s divine seat seems to be the lowest tier...¡±

    ¡°Therefore, he is still a minor god.¡±

    ¡°Yeah. However, that terrifying faith is still rather astonishing. It seems to have originated from those life-forms that suddenly appeared. Nearly every god has gone there to gather more believers...¡±

    ¡°Is this good or bad?¡±

    ¡°No idea.¡±

    The few gods that were conversing suddenly sank into silence. The sudden growth of Chen Feng¡¯s believers had indeed shocked many gods. However, when they had found out the truth, they had all poured into the human world to get their own believers as well. If even this lowest-tier-god Chen Feng could get so many believers from that world, what about the other gods? Those major gods?

    The number of life-forms in that newly appeared world was truly incredibly astonishing. Evidently, none of them were aware that these life-forms had been concealed by the Sin God or that these were the life-forms that had originally inhabited this world.

    The gods were all busy gathering new believers, hoping that the entire human poption, numbering in the hundreds of millions, would be their believers. And thus, the minor gods arrived. The major gods arrived as well. A huge number of gods arrived, and all of them entered the human world.

    Gather, gather, and gather. All of them were busy spreading their godly power, invading the human world. Manypletely different godly powers began to pervade this world. A person would be able to see a random clump of godly power just by leaving their house. Or perhaps one could be having a meal and suddenly see a clump a godly power. Even when sleeping or having an intimate rtionship, or whatever other activities, one could stumble upon some godly power.

    Gods seemed to be everywhere. Oh, you can¡¯t believe in this god? It doesn¡¯t matter. There are numerous other gods avable for the picking. Feel free to choose among the countless gods and countless godly powers. There ought to be one that fits.

    And thus, humanspromised by selecting a god to believe in. At the very least, after believing in a god, the gods would stop bombarding them with never-ending invitations like the most malicious of advertisements. With this, the humans slowly started believing in their respective deities.

    After the appearance of the humans, even the pitiful gods that used to only have a grand total of three or four believers now had hundreds or even thousands. For the gods, this was a grand asion. Since there were truly too many humans around, there were virtually no fights between gods. There was no need for that. Rather than waste their effort fighting, they might as well use the effort to court more believers.

    As far as these gods were concerned, the godless humans were like a huge pile of treasure. As such, for many days after, all of the gods were busily gathering believers.

    ¡°Father, that Chen Feng...¡± a certain god¡¯s descendant asked cautiously.

    ¡°I will deal with himter,¡± the god answered half-heartedly, as he was busy searching for human believers. Chen Feng? Who had time to be bothered about him?

    ¡°But...¡±

    ¡°Piss off. Why are there so many buts? We will allow him to run free for a few more days. The big picture is much more important. You, don¡¯t go out and create trouble for me. Regardless of how weak Chen Feng is, he is still a god.¡±

    ¡°Fine.¡± The god¡¯s descendant could only ept this while feeling wronged. He truly wanted to go and get his revenge on Chen Feng. However, it was as his father said. Regardless of how weak Chen Feng was, a god was still a god. Without his father¡¯s help, he wouldn¡¯t be able to do much. He would probably die without even knowing how he had died if he dared to seek out Chen Feng alone.

    The same thing was happening to all the gods¡¯ descendants. And thus, this dangerous initial period of time after Chen Feng¡¯s ascension transformed into a precious time of growth for him.

    ...

    In the human world, everyone was busy increasing their strength. They had been stuck at this level for way too long. In the past, due to the Creation God¡¯s seal, humans had been unable to enter the awakened realm. Even more unfortunately, they had all been thrown into the bead world by the Sin God shortly after the seal was lifted.

    Thus, when they finally returned to the real world, the boundless energy pervading the air brought them endless joy. The ex-believers of the Sin God, who were now ex-resonators, were the first batch of humans to be cleanly split apart by the gods. That was because these humans all seemed rather powerful, causing the gods to believe that these were the most outstanding humans.

    These gods werepletely clueless as to what type of believers they had gathered. As for the rest of humanity, they were currently undergoing a breakthrough of thergest scale ever in human history. How were they doing it? Thanks to Chen Feng, thanks to gene reagents, and thanks to the beyond-A-ss gene reagents.

    During the past 12 years, the entirety of humanity had reached beyond A ss. After all, they wouldn¡¯t have been able to contend against the Sin God¡¯s resonators with quantity alone. And now these people were starting to break through.

    This time, not a single god was concerned about the exhaustion of their godly power when it came to creating contracts for their new believers. Simrly, not a single god would allow another god to use the contracts they had created, as the contract might never be returned.

    After all, gods were not allowed to kill each other. In the past, if a minor god was disobedient, they would be punished by having their source of faith restricted. But now, with the many humans providing sufficient faith for every god, who would care?

    Restriction of faith? Sure. It did not matter. There were way too many humans around for this to matter. The most one could do to these minor gods was beat them up, nothing more. And thus, at a time like this, not a single god delegated the task of establishing contracts with new believers to their subsidiary gods. With their own hands, they established a contract with every single new believer they obtained. With their very own hands, they transformed these new believers into resonators.

    The sky above the human world seemed to be eternally lit by the radiance of contracts.

    Level 1 resonance, level 2 resonance, level 8 resonance, level 10 resonance, and so on. Every human at the peak of the awakened realm was growing crazily. Theparatively newer awakened ones tended to stop growing at level 1 resonance, whereas the veteran gic warriors already at the peak of the awakened realm, those who had umted their strength for 12 years, were able to instantly reach level 10 resonance. The instant a contract was established, theirprehension of godly power immediately reached a certain peak.

    Growth! Growth! And growth! All the humans were happy, and all the gods were iparably excited. Everyone watched on as their believers grew in number at a terrifying rate. Almost all the gods had had their faith multiplied several times over. Among these humans, there were also some who were able to directly enter the apostle realm due to being sufficiently strong.

    ¡°Haha. This is awesome!¡±

    ¡°The gain of this single day isparable to what I gained over the past 10 years.¡±

    ¡°So this is the human world?¡±

    ¡°This is such a big world. How did it stay hidden in the past?¡±

    The gods were all endlessly amazed. One ought to know that even with their formidable strength, they had never noticed the existence of this world.

    Unknown to all of them, in a certain corner of the world, an extremely beautiful goddess stood. She appeared extremely delicate and was silently watching on as everything happened. If Chen Feng were here, he would most certainly recognize her as the Forest Goddess.

    She had not bothered trying to stop the gods, nor had she bothered to approach them. Millions upon millions of life-forms for the taking? Hehe.

    ¡°How idiotic...¡± she muttered.

    Do you guys realize that you have obtained the believers of the Sin God? This is especially true for that first batch, the strongest resonators! Are you all aware that they were actually the apostle candidates Ye cultivated with the utmost care?

    In order to totally transform all of humanity into his believers, the Sin God had selected a group of believers that excelled at beguilement. He had then cultivated them from the awakened realm all the way to the peak resonance realm. He had been on the verge of transforming them all into apostles.

    In fact, he had already prepared the ceremony to transform them all to apostles at the same time. However, he had been waiting until he had more of them. At that time, when he unleashed several hundred thousand apostles, all of humanity would have been converted into his believers. This was quite a scary idea.

    This was what Ye had originally been nning. Unfortunately, due to that trial, this n had been put on hold. As for these gods, they had all taken Ye¡¯s believers for themselves. Not only that, they had also transformed all these resonators into apostles, which was an irreversible act. The moment Ye returned...

    ¡°Ah.¡±

    Sheughed lightly. A bunch of idiots. In her mind, the end of these fools was already fixed. After all, that was Ye, the Sin God! Regardless of how powerful that silhouette was, Ye would not die. Even the Creation God had failed to eliminate Ye back then, let alone this so-called silhouette. When Ye eventually returned, something interesting would most certainly happen.

 Chapter 791 - Equal Distribution

    Chapter 791: Equal Distribution

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    ¡°Haha, I just got another 10 apostles.¡±

    ¡°Same here.¡±

    The major gods were all overjoyed. Different from the minor gods like Chen Feng, who were busy taking in awakened ones that could be transformed into resonators, the major gods were taking in the truly powerful believers. So what if those minor gods could gather a huge number of believers? A single apostle was equivalent to a hundred normal believers.

    Naturally, the major gods did not know that this was the human world, the world that Chen Feng had once belonged to. Of the millions of life-forms here, nearly half of them had be his believers the moment they saw him, the moment he rescued them, with no hesitation whatsoever. These were the firmest of Chen Feng¡¯s believers.

    Thus, Chen Feng had no need to fight over believers with these gods. He only needed to focus on integrating into his divine system the half of the life-forms of this that had decided to believe in him. That alone would be sufficient.

    Shua! Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s hands grabbed at empty air. Clump after clump of the terrifying power of faith appeared without stop and entered Chen Feng¡¯s body. This was the greatest power of faith to have ever appeared, an amount of faith nobody could surpass, even the Sin God of the past. After all, this was the faith supplied by half of the human world¡¯s life-forms.

    ¡°Ah.¡±

    Chen Feng sensed the power within him. Was he a minor god? Yes, he was. He was the lowest of gods, but due to the faith he was gathering, the speed he was growing at was unsurpassable. His strength was growing crazily.

    Bang! Bang!

    With each surge of godly power, Chen Feng could feel a tremendous growth in his strength. So powerful and inconceivable.

    Bang!

    He shut his eyes, entering a brand new world. This world belonged to him alone. In this world, faith poured in without stop. After entering this world, it split into three parts. One part was used for Chen Feng¡¯s growth, and the other two parts were transmitted to Spirit and the Misfortune Goddess. The Misfortune Goddess¡¯s consciousness seemed to be on the verge of awakening.

    Is she going to awaken soon?

    Chen Feng wore a pensive look. Under normal circumstances, he alone would enjoy all the faith. Now, though, due to the fact that the Luck Goddess and Misfortune Goddess were residing within him, part of the faith was being shared with them. However, it did not matter. Since these goddesses had already returned to him, their growth would be equivalent to his growth. At the very least...

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted.

    Boundless godly power surged out. In addition to his godly power, he still retained his control over the godly powers of misfortune and luck. Indeed, these two were now tied to him.

    Bang!

    Faith poured into him crazily. Chen Feng and the two goddesses started growing at a rapid pace. The god realm was the final realm one could reach. Based on Chen Feng¡¯s understanding, the so-called god realm was split into several stages. The first stage was the minor god, the stage he was presently in, the lowest of all gods. Next were the elementary gods, then the journeyman gods, the major gods, and finally, the most powerful of the gods, the godsparable to existences like the Creation God.

    The gods of each subsequent stage were more powerful than the gods of the previous stage. As for the method of increasing one¡¯s stage, it was quite simple: faith. The more believers one had, the more faith one would have. With this, the growth of one¡¯s godly power would increase as well. Only by obtaining believers without stop could one grow.

    That was why the minor gods could only struggle for survival amid the major gods and slowly grow. Only after a long time would they have a chance to advance into an elementary god. Next, they would have to continue to slowly grow... This was how gods grew.

    The path between minor godhood and major godhood was a long one. As for Chen Feng... He looked at the faith that was frantically surging in. This was an amount of faith that even the Sin God would envy. Even though it was actually only one-third of this amount, as the other two parts were being shared with the Misfortune Goddess and the Luck Goddess, this amount was already sufficient to pump Chen Feng full of godly power.

    In a short seven days, Chen Feng had already reached the peak of the minor god stage.

    Bang!

    He entered the elementary god stage.

    Nearly all the gods were rmed.

    ¡°Upgrade?¡±

    Their eyes went wide with disbelief. Seven days! In only seven days, Chen Feng had entered the elementary god stage? How was this possible? One ought to know that in the past, they had spent a very long time to reach that stage.

    ¡°This... Is it because of this world¡¯s believers?¡±

    The gods¡¯ eyes became bloodshot as they looked at the human world. They knew that the believers of this world were all rather intelligent. As such, the faith they provided should be rather powerful as well. However, they had never expected it to be this powerful, powerful enough for Chen Feng to reach the elementary stage in seven short days.

    ¡°Since even Chen Feng can advance so quickly, what about us?¡±

    The other minor gods were getting excited.

    Including the minor god that had brought Chen Feng into the resonance realm, all the minor gods started frantically spreading their godly power through the human world in the hopes of gaining more recognition from the poption there. Chen Feng¡¯s breakthrough had given a lot of gods hope. This was especially true for the gods that had been stuck for way too long.

    Naturally, none of them were aware that, during these seven days, although they had all started from scratch in their search for believers, the instant Chen Feng had rescued the human world, he had obtained a huge number of believers. From the start, Chen Feng¡¯s speed of growth had been the fastest of all.

    Bang! Bang!

    His godly power surging, Chen Feng continued growing. Under the nourishment of that terrifying amount of godly power, Chen Feng continued his rapid growth. In a short 10 days, he reached the peak of the elementary stage. That¡¯s right. He was on the verge of yet another breakthrough. If he continued, he would without a doubt be a journeyman god.

    ...

    And yet he stopped. He looked at his stage while in contemtion. Ultimately, he decided to put his breakthrough on hold. The moment he proceeded and broke through, he would put all the gods on high alert. It wouldn¡¯t matter if he only broke through a single stage. At most, he would gain some attention. However, if he continued and broke through two stages in a row while all others god had yet to break through even once, they would probably start taking this seriously. The various gods that were all busy gathering believers simply had no idea just how many believers Chen Feng had.

    I will stop for now, Chen Feng decided. Ultimately, he sent all the godly power to the two goddesses instead.

    Bang!

    Spirit¡¯s strength increased without stop. She had been a major god in the first ce. Even though the Luck Goddess¡¯s actual consciousness was already dead, the divine seat was still upied by her. She had merely lost all strength after inheriting the divine seat.

    Now, her godly power was recovering. From minor god, she reached elementary god, then journeyman god... at a speed even faster than Chen Feng¡¯s own. When Chen Feng had been hesitating over his breakthrough earlier, she had already broken through into the journeyman stage. Yet this was just the beginning. The Misfortune Goddess¡¯s consciousness was awakening at a rapid pace as well.

    The Misfortune Goddess, whose strength had originally been stuck at the level of an awakened one, had under the nourishment of Chen Feng¡¯s massive supply of faith, finally awakened. The translucent silhouette representing her now appeared lifelike.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The petite silhouette transformed into a physical body. Somewhat regretfully for Chen Feng, the instant she formed her body, her clothes were formed as well.

    Cough, cough. Worthy of being a goddess indeed.

    Bang!

    Godly power spread out as the Misfortune Goddess fully awakened. As for the stage of her divine seat, it was a major god the moment she awakened. Naturally, she was simr to Spirit; even though her divine seat was that of a major god, her actual body contained a pitiful amount of godly power.

    Chen Feng waved his hand, instantly increasing the amount of faith flowing to her. She was directly pushed to the journeyman god stage, at which point Chen Feng adjusted the flow of faith so that both goddesses were receiving an equal amount.

    Mhm...

    With this, the strength of both goddesses would be bnced. Chen Feng was extremely satisfied with this. As the master of this illusory world, which hosted both the goddesses, he felt like it was necessary to maintain a certain amount of bnce. He was of the impression that he was giving them both equal treatment.

    Chapter 792: Piss Off!

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    The power of faith was still surging in. Even though both goddesses were able to easily reach the journeyman stage, the amount of godly power required to reach the major stage was truly too terrifying. As such, even with the quantity of believers Chen Feng had, they were still stuck. But this was reasonable. Regardless of the amount of faith one had, could the amount of godly power required for a journeyman god to be a major god be low?

    After all, in a way, major gods were already considered the strongest existences. Apart from existences like the Creation God and the Sin God, major gods were the top of the food chain.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Godly power umted without stop. The radiance surrounding Chen Feng dimmed as this radiance signifying a breakthrough finally faded. It was only at this point that the gods that had been paying attention to Chen Feng heaved a sigh of relief.

    ¡°I thought that he might even be a journeyman god.¡±

    ¡°Seems like we have been thinking too much...¡±

    ¡°Well, we were given quite a fright by his previous advancement speed, after all. Looks like the amount of this world¡¯s faith he has under his control is not too great after all.¡±

    ¡°Well, that is understandable. After all, he was indeed a minor god when he appeared here.¡±

    ¡°True.¡±

    ¡°Where has the faith of the humans gone to, then? When epting believers, I keep feeling like a huge number of this world¡¯s believers have already been monopolized by someone else.¡±

    ¡°Some other gods, I suppose?¡±

    ¡°After all, nearly all the gods have arrived here in this world.¡±

    ¡°But it isn¡¯t possible for them to have been faster than us, right? We, the major gods, should have been the fastest of all.¡±

    ¡°Is it possible that Chen Feng inherited some believers from the divine seat?¡±

    This possibility was immediately rejected by a certain god. ¡°That is not possible. Think about it. If Chen Feng had truly inherited believers from the divine seat, the moment this world appeared, how could those strongest resonators have been godless, waiting for us here?¡±

    ¡°True,¡± the gods all eximed in realization. Indeed, they had nearly forgotten this point.

    When they had first arrived, all of this world¡¯s strongest believers had been partitioned between them. Due to the limited number of these believers, they had been cleanly split among the major gods. As for minor gods like Chen Feng, they had gotten nothing. As such, it was clear that Chen Feng had not inherited any believers from the divine seat.

    ¡°In that case, his first-stage breakthrough was probably due to the umtion of the divine seat.¡±

    ¡°Mhm... After all, this divine seat has an entire world attached to it. Perhaps it is not a simple seat. As such, it might indeed have left behind some godly power that subsequently helped Chen Feng break through.¡±

    ¡°That must be it. If he indeed inherited believers from it, he would have broken through into the journeyman stage already.¡±

    The gods were all clear on this. Chen Feng had only taken seven days to enter the elementary stage. If this was truly thanks to the faith he was obtaining from his believers, he probably would have only required around 10 days to enter the journeyman stage. However, 20 days had passed since then, but he was still stuck. This proved that he was still quite far away from the journeyman stage.

    ¡°Well then, we can ignore him for now.¡±

    ¡°Mhm. Gathering new believers is still the priority. However, to be safe, it is better to prohibit Chen Feng froming near this world.¡±

    ¡°eptable.¡±

    ¡°Yes, we must do that.¡±

    The gods all reached amon understanding. If they had to restrict the other gods, it would give rise to quite a lot of trouble and resistance from the gods. Although the major gods were sufficiently powerful, at a time like this, none of them wished to waste any time dealing with that kind of trouble.

    However, what if they only had to restrict Chen Feng? Heh. Most likely, all the gods would agree to this proposal. They would even allow the minor gods to enter this world for believers, restricting only Chen Feng.

    ¡°As for who will be the one to get the most believers¡ªor if anyone ys any tricks¡ªwe will naturally find out after all of this world¡¯s inhabitants have been fully converted into believers.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±

    ¡°That does not seem too far away.¡±

    ¡°Mhm... Based on our present speed, at most, the entire human world will be thoroughly split up among the various gods in 30 days.¡±

    ¡°Then we will decide on the next step at that time.¡±

    The gods began busying themselves with gathering believers once again.

    They guessed that there some gods might have used some unique method to gather a huge number of believers. However, they were now too busy to try to figure out who that person was. In any case, after all the humans were split up between the various gods, there would be a struggle among the gods to snatch the believers of other gods.

    And thus the gods ced their attention on gathering believers. All of them reached a tacit understanding to prevent Chen Feng from entering this world. Although that minor god wanted to help Chen Feng, he was helpless and could only continue gathering believers in silence. At most, he would transfer some over to Chen Feng when he was done here. After all, he was the one who had kick-started Chen Feng¡¯s journey to godhood.

    And thus, time passed quietly. Finally, 30 days passed. The entire human world had finally been totally split up among the various gods. At this time, all the major gods had unsightly expressions, as they had finally noticed that something wasn¡¯t right. The total number of believers did not match the total poption of the world.

    Moreover, the difference was incredibly huge. The total believers these gods had gathered was half of what they had expected. With the poption of this world, how was it possible for them to have so few believers?

    ¡°Something isn¡¯t right.¡±

    ¡°Definitely,¡± a god said with a solemn expression.

    ¡°Could it be Chen Feng?¡±

    Someone had instinctively thought of Chen Feng. After all, this world had only appeared when Chen Feng obtained the divine seat. However, after they checked, they found that Chen Feng was still an elementary god.

    ¡°He is still stuck.¡±

    ¡°Mhm... Looks like the missing believers are not under him.¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    The gods started looking all over, wondering who was monopolizing the believers. After all, each of the gods had gathered way fewer believers than they had expected. If the sum of missing believers were totaled, it would reach quite an astonishing amount. Which god, exactly, was messing around? Chen Feng was the first suspect to be cleared. After all, he was too weak, so weak that he did not seem like he could be the one that had monopolized so many believers.

    Secondly, during the process of gathering, Chen Feng¡¯s entry had been restricted. As such, it was virtually impossible for him to be responsible for monopolizing the missing believers. As such, they started doubting the other gods. s, their investigations resulted in nothing.

    ¡°Damn it.¡±

    ¡°If Lord Ye hadn¡¯t restricted killing between gods...¡±

    Some gods began to surge with murderous intent. If this was the Primordial Era, who would care about those weak gods?

    They, the major gods, were supreme existences. How would these minor, elementary, or journeyman gods have any chance of ying tricks on them? Naturally, they had no idea that the Sin God they all feared had already lost his divine seat. As for the believers they were fighting over, these were the treasured believers of the Sin God himself.

    A certain major god was furious. ¡°There must be someone who has monopolized the hundreds of millions of believers¡ªor even billions of believers.¡± He could ept the lower gods being able to obtain more believers than they had expected. However, if a single god alone was monopolizing as many believers as all the other gods, they could not ept that. This was something no god could ept.

    ¡°Now, time to find out who that god is. Next, get him to hand over 90% of his believers to be divided equally among all other gods. Otherwise, he will be dered the enemy of all gods,¡± the major god said coldly. In fact, 90% of his believers was already rather lenient.

    ¡°Definitely.¡±

    All the gods were filled with indignation. Unfortunately, none of them knew who the culprit was.

    ¡°Erm...¡± Suddenly, Chen Feng quietly asked, ¡°Can I have a share of that as well?¡±

    ¡°Scram!¡± The major gods weren¡¯t even bothered with being polite against him.

    Chen Feng appeared indignant. ¡°But... Since all the gods are potential suspects and are allowed to stay behind and have a share of the split, why can¡¯t I join?¡±

    That god sneered. ¡°I don¡¯t like your face. Is this answer eptable?¡±

    Chen Feng: ¡°Actually...¡±

    ¡°Scram!¡±

    The other gods all agreed with this. They did not know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to have Chen Feng staying here among the numerous humans. As such, since he was no longer a suspect, he was naturally the first they kicked out of this world. And thus, our dear friend Chen Feng was kicked out.

    ¡°I feel like you are the biggest suspect. Everywhere I went to get believers, you were always there first.¡±

    ¡°How could it be me?¡±

    ¡°Make public your believers, then.¡±

    ¡°Why me?¡±

    ¡°Stop talking nonsense...¡±

    The gods started casting their suspicions on the other gods. As for Chen Feng, he could only leave dejectedly. With this, the situation in the human world had calmed somewhat.

    ¡°They seem to be publicizing their believers one after another to find the culprit.¡± Qin Hai had a faint smile.

    ¡°Yeah.¡± Chen Feng sighed and bitterly said, ¡°They all looked down on me and forbade me from joining them. When the believers are split after the investigation, each god will probably get several million believers.¡±

    Qin Hai merely sneered. ¡°Hehe.¡± He was certain that Chen Feng was the culprit. Why was he still pretending?

    Suddenly, Qin Hai said, ¡°It has been two months, right?¡±

    ¡°Mhm...¡± Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. The battle between the Sin God and that silhouette should have produced a result by now, right? If they hadn¡¯t gotten involved, the Sin God might very well have fallen this time. If that silhouette had been able to upy the divine seat, it would indeed have brought the Sin God great trouble. However, due to Chen Feng and Qin Hai¡¯s involvement, the silhouette had been greatly weakened as well. As such, the result of the battle was now unknown.

    The Sin God would not die so easily. As for the silhouette, he was obviously not a simple person either. If the two were simrly not at their peak strength, their battle might result in their mutual destruction. This would be the best conclusion for Chen Feng. Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted as he thought of this. Regardless of whether or not this happened, if he wished to be so, it would be so.

    Shua!

    His senses returned to himself. Instantly, the faith, which was being split fairly, was adjusted so the Luck Goddess was the only person receiving any. She had originally been umting godly power for more than a month here. With this, she instantly broke through and became a major god again.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. ¡°Very good.¡±

    ¡°Spirit... the rest will depend on you.¡± Chen Feng transmitted his thoughts over.

    Spirit¡¯s eyes went wide. ¡°You are trying to...¡± Nevertheless, she had been with Chen Feng for quite a while. Despite her astonishment, she still as she was told without the slightest hesitation. Nearly all of her godly power was utilized for this task.

    Bang! Bang!

    A massive amount of the godly power of luck started operating.

    Shua! Shua!

    At the same time, Chen Feng¡¯s godly power was nearly emptied. Despite this, the exhaustion never stopped. As the torrential faith arrived, it was instantly converted into godly power and then cleanly absorbed by the Luck Goddess. This was godly power being unleashed by a major god with all her might.

    The faith of the massive human poption erupted, supplying her with unending godly power. This allowed the Luck Goddess to erupt with a power surpassing her realm.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    The boundless godly power of luck started radiating. Noiselessly, all the power of luck was used to influence a battle that they couldn¡¯t even hope toy eyes on. Perhaps the Sin God and that silhouette were battling it out now. However, only one result would be allowed. Ye could definitely not die, because if he died, the silhouette¡¯s n woulde to fruition.

    Although Chen Feng did not know who that person was, he had obviously nned each of his steps, and the death of Ye was definitely part of his n as well. When that happened, the silhouette would probably be unstoppable. And thus, the silhouette was not allowed to win. However, he could not die either.

    Ye¡¯s strength was too scary. The silhouette had only reached this level by existing beyond this world. That was also why Chen Feng had been given the opportunity to ascend. If that silhouette died, after Ye figured out everything that silhouette knew, something even scarier could very well happen. As such, the silhouette could not die either. Both of them had to suffer the same fate.

    Bang!

    The endless godly power of luck surged up. Time slowly passed. One day, two days, three days... It reached the point that even Chen Feng himself did not know how many days had passed. On a certain day, a huge figure appeared in the sky. No godly power could be sensed from that figure, yet the figure¡¯s oppressive might was sufficient to cause all of creation to shudder in fear.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled as he realized that Ye had returned. Finally, the exhaustion of the godly power of luck stopped as well. A result seemed to have been reached. Chen Feng took in a deep breath. He had no idea what the result of their battle was, nor did he know if the godly power of luck had been effective. After all, the target this time was truly too powerful. The only advantages Chen Feng had were Ye¡¯s temporaryck of a divine seat and his ignorance of both what they were doing and the existence of the two goddesses.

    If one thought about it, it was truly quite scary. The illustrious Luck Goddess unleashing her full power with the assistance of millions upon millions of believers had still been forced to act against Ye in secrecy. From this, it was apparent how scary Ye was. Fortunately, this had finally ended.

    ¡°Lord Ye is finally back.¡±

    ¡°I have been waiting for Lord Ye¡¯s return for far too long.¡±

    ¡°That damnable clown has been hiding for so many days. This time, we ought to get Lord Ye to drag that person out.¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    The gods were all furious. These days, they had been searching for clues without stop. The suspected gods had all been forced to publicize their believers. s, after half the gods had been forced to publicize their believers, they had still found no clues. Granted, they would still eventually discover the culprit if they continued investigating, but if Ye was willing to help, the culprit would definitely be found.

    Bang!

    In the sky, that huge figure descended. Just like always, Ye was cold and dreadful. Even without any godly power emanating out from him, his every motion still caused everyone to feel fear.

    ¡°Hey... No divine seat can be felt from Lord¡¯s body?¡±

    ¡°His godly power has vanished as well.¡±

    ¡°Perhaps he his hiding it?¡±

    ¡°True. A lord is, after all, a lord.¡±

    The gods no longer dared to stick to this topic. After all, Ye was an existence far surpassing them all. he was not one they could talk about. He was one who had started this era, the one giving this life to all these gods.

    They saluted Ye deferentially. ¡°Lord.¡±

    ¡°Mhm.¡± Ye¡¯s gaze swept past them, killing intent asionally pulsing out. Whenever this happened, the gods¡¯ hearts would flutter. They did not know how they had angered this lord. Ultimately, Ye¡¯s gazended on the distant human world. At present, the entirety of the human world had entered an age of gods. All of the godless humans now had their respective faiths. They had all be believers.

    Nearly each human pulsed with godly power. The humans... had been fully split up by these gods.

    Ka!

    Ye tightly clenched his fists. His heart started burning with rage. After all, he had poured 12 years worth of effort into this world. His anger was especially pronounced when he saw that the tens of thousands of resonators he had cultivated with great difficulty had been transformed into the apostles of various gods. After all, the apostle¡¯s contract was irreversible.

    ¡°You all, very good,¡± Ye said coldly.

    ¡°Thank you for the praise, Lord.¡±

    The gods were all overjoyed. As for Ye¡¯s present attitude, which did not seem too friendly? It did not seem to matter to them. After all, as far as they were concerned, Lord Ye had always been possessed this cold bearing. They had long grown used to it.

    Chapter 794: These Underlings Can¡¯t Make It

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Ye had returned. However, his aura appearedparatively weaker than before. He maintained a calm expression, yet his heart was boiling with killing intent. His hard work over thest 12 years had been ruined in a short two months.

    A bunch of idiots.

    It wouldn¡¯t be long before he let these fellows know the price they had to pay. However, now was not the time. As he thought about this, his expression appeared even calmer.

    ¡°He¡¯s actually not angry?¡±

    Chen Feng and Qin Hai were surprised. With the present situation in the human world, Ye should be enraged, right? He was still so calm?

    Qin Hai scratched his head in confusion. ¡°Do all gods act in such an unpredictable manner?¡±

    Could it be that the Sin God was just this patient?

    Chen Feng shook his head. ¡°No.¡± Ye¡¯s reaction wasn¡¯t due to his identity as a god. After all, gods were just stronger life-forms. They felt what all life-forms felt. Most likely, the only thing that would affect their decision was their strength. Ye was the perfect model of a person who acted decisively. So why did he appear so calm now?

    Chen Feng looked at Ye¡¯s aura, which appeared weaker, and then at the might of Luck Aura. Suddenly, he understood. Ye had truly sustained a rather serious injury. Only this could cause him to endure this anger. That was the only reason he would feign calmness.

    Ye was seriously injured andcked his divine seat, so he had no intention of fighting these gods. He only wanted to rest, to prioritize recovering hisbat strength. Chen Feng finally understood. He nced over at Qin Hai. It was obvious that Qin Hai had reached the same conclusion as well.

    ¡°What do you think he will do?¡± Chen Feng asked.

    Qin Hai smiled. ¡°He will probably leave calmly. ¡°Then he will challenge a minor god¡¯s divine seat secretly to recover his godhood. After that, he will gather believers at a rapid speed to recover hisbat strength. Ultimately, he will eliminate these fellows one by one. Probably more than half of the gods that have plundered Ye¡¯s believers will end up dead.¡± Qin Hai finished his analysis indifferently. ¡°After all, that is the only way Ye can keep his secret and regain his believers.¡±

    At this moment, the gods were revealing all their believers to Ye. After all, as far as they were concerned, Ye was a supreme existence. He would not deign to fight them over so few believers.

    ¡°Not bad.¡± Ye put on a satisfied expression as he looked at the information presented to him, ¡°Let me take a look. Mhm... I see.¡±

    After he looked at the information, he sighed and shook his head.

    ¡°I will not take part in this. As I said before, this is a fight between you all. If I get involved, it will not be fair to you guys.¡±

    After finishing his words, he turned around in preparation to leave. The various gods could only wallow in disappointment.

    ¡°Ah,¡± Chen Feng eximed in admiration. What a fine Sin God. With this, he had obtained clear data on all the believers yet still managed to keep himself outside of this struggle. Next, he would only need to secretly retake these believers. How treacherous. However, since Chen Feng had seen through him, how could he allow Ye this chance? Chen Feng¡¯s mouth curled up into a smile.

    Some things would require the influence of Luck Aura. However, there were also things that were better handled personally. This was especially true for something so simple. And thus, just as Ye was about to leave, the various gods respectfully sending him off, a sh streaked past. Suddenly, some words appeared in the sky above them.

    ¡°The numerous believers of the human world were originally the exclusive property of Sin God. They were also his only source of believers. Along with the loss of the Sin God¡¯s divine seat, the human world appeared in reality. Now that Ye has returned with serious injuries, he has discovered that his believers have been split up by the various gods. What would he do? Would Ye, without a divine seat, regain a divine seat before killing off the various gods to regain his believers?¡±

    Shua!

    Instantly, the worldpsed into silence. The bodies of the various gods that were respectfully sending Ye off went rigid. This... With their eyesight, they were naturally able to instantly see all the words. The content of the words caused their bodies to go rigid.

    Yecked a divine seat?

    Ye had no faith?

    These believers had originally been Ye¡¯s?

    How was this possible? Their instinctive reaction was to deny this. That was because Lord Ye was a supreme existence, the master of the universe. s, what they saw was an ashen expression on Ye¡¯s face. Ye appeared somewhat flustered emotion.

    ¡°Hold on, why would Lord Ye feel flustered?¡±

    ¡°No, this is not the main issue here. The main issue here is why can I see through Lord Ye¡¯s aura? He is supposed to be the most enigmatic of gods, right?¡±

    Suddenly, the various gods realized something. When they looked at Ye once more, they finally saw clearly. Ye was no longer a god. Even though his aura was still the same, without his divine seat, the enigmatic aura shrouding him was gone. Ye¡¯s strength was now clear for all of them to see.

    This... Their pupils shrunk. In the past, Ye had been an existence none dared to try sense out. Yet now, with Ye¡¯s secret being made public, the gods started scanning Ye with their senses. What they saw was precisely what they wanted to see.

    Although Ye was still as powerful as ever, he was no longer a god. He had truly lost his divine seat. Naturally, if that were all, it wouldn¡¯t mean much. After all, Ye was still Ye. Even without his divine seat, he was an ancient god, not someone they could hope to contend against.

    However, that single sentence saying that Ye had returned with serious injuries... Theparatively powerful gods scanned him with their senses and found that Ye¡¯s aura indeed appeared rather unstable. Indeed, Ye had truly sustained serious injuries!

    Of course, even this much wouldn¡¯t mean anything. However, the human world turned out to have been the sole supply of believers for Ye. This sentence had indeed rmed all the gods. This world and those believers had all belonged to Ye?

    In short, they had been splitting Ye¡¯s believers among themselves? The mere thought caused their hearts to chill. If that was truly the case...

    Hiss¡ª

    They took in a deep breath in shock. They exchanged nces and were able to see the nervousness in each other¡¯s eyes. On top of that, an indescribable fear started creeping into their hearts. Whatever the case, this was still the Sin God. They had actually done something like this. Even more crucial was the fact that Ye had pretended to not care and was intending to leave. Heavens, was this truly Ye? Based on his past style of doing things...

    All the gods felt a chill creeping into their hearts. The moment Ye recovered hisbat power, he would probably kill them off in an incredibly cruel manner. After all, this was not something he had never done before. The gods trembled in fear.

    ¡°Lord...¡±

    Some of the gods were on the verge of kneeling down and begging for forgiveness. However, a voice suddenly resounded. ¡°What if... we do not allow him to recover?¡±

    Shua!

    At this question, all their gazesnded on Ye. The gods in fear suddenly came to a realization. True, what if Ye was not allowed to recover? Ye was indeed powerful and terrifying. However, he hadn¡¯t only lost his divine seat; he was even seriously injured. He was greatly weakened andcked the replenishment of faith. This might be their best chance to deal with him.

    At this thought, all the gods gulped in agitation. True, since Ye would definitely get rid of them after his recovery, they might as well eliminate him while he was still gravely injured. After all, none of them had the courage to face Ye at his peak power. However, they still needed to confirm one thing.

    ¡°Is this information true?¡±

    They started consulting their respective apostles. From the apostles they had obtained from the human world, they were able to easily find out that this world had indeed been ruled by Ye previously. So this was indeed the world of Ye. It was no wonder that they had never seen Ye¡¯s believers in the past.

    And thus, all their questions were answered. The mysteriousness surrounding Ye slowly vanished.

    Shua!

    The gods all stood up, their gazes focused on Ye. They were truly nning to make a move.

 Chapter 795 - Shocking and Oppressing Everyone

    <h4>Chapter 795: Shocking and Oppressing Everyone</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    Yeughed in anger. ¡°You all... dare make a move against me?¡± He had never expected that after his believers were cleanly split up, these gods would betray him before he could show his anger. How ridiculous andmentable. He was Ye, the strongest god.

    And yet he had never expected that a divine seat trial would result in his divine seat being challenged by Chen Feng, or that he would be backstabbed by that damnable silhouette. Or that, upon returning from dealing with all that, he would still have to face this. The illustrious Sin God had fallen so far.

    ¡°You are all courting death.¡±

    Ye¡¯s terrifying aura rippled out. Even without godly power, his strength was still astonishingly terrifying. And yet those gods did not step back. Rather, they approached him because, from Ye¡¯s reaction, they could sense that Ye was clearlycking confidence. This almighty god had indeed aged.

    One ought to remember how astonishing Ye¡¯s strength used to be. Even him letting out a small portion of his aura had been sufficient to cause everyone to revere him. Yet now, even after pushing himself, he was only capable of this much. He was now far weaker than he had been.

    Was this due to his injuries? The gazes of the various gods became vicious. There were innumerable life-forms in the human world, and the absorption of faith from these people had caused the strength of these gods to increase greatly. It was impossible for them to hand out the believers they already had under their control even though these believers belonged to the Sin God.

    After all, these were the believers they had obtained after two months of painstaking effort. Give them back to the Sin God? They were not willing to do so. Moreover, even if they decided to truly give the believers back, would they truly be fine? After all, among the believers they had obtained were apostles, which couldn¡¯t be transferred between gods. These were the believers the Sin God had spent 12 years painstakingly cultivating. Who would be willing to give such believers away?

    There had been tens of thousands of these resonators on the verge of reaching the apostle realm. Yet now, all these resonators had been snatched by these gods. As they thought about this, their hearts chilled. In all honesty, if this happened to them...

    Even if it was only two or three apostles, they would probably flip out. If tens of thousands of their apostles were snatched away in such a manner, they would probably copse emotionally. What about Lord Ye? He had not shown his anger, nor had he gone mad. Rather, he had merely decided to leave calmly. What did this signify? This signified that he did not care, because as long as he killed the gods that had snatched his apostles, he would be able to regain those apostles, since the apostle¡¯s contracts would dissolve with their deaths. As such, Ye had no intention of showing them any anger.

    This was the most terrifying aspect of it all. So it turned out that Ye was nning to get rid of them secretly? True, only like this would Ye be able to once again obtain a divine seat and regain his believers.

    At this thought, their enclosure around Ye tightened. They were afraid, truly afraid. Therefore, they could not allow Ye to leave.

    Yeughed in a somewhat deranged manner. ¡°Hehehehehe...¡± Evidently, he had never expected these people to surround him due to their fear of him and his revenge. Therefore, they had decided to eliminate him first. Did they think that they might seed because of hisck of a divine seat? Hehehehe... How pitiful. Had these people forgotten how strong Ye was?

    The reason he had even fallen into that silhouette¡¯s trap in the first ce was due to his negligence of outer space and the gods there. Even now, he was still unaware of that fellow¡¯s identity. But these fellows here? Even this trash dared to challenge him?

    Yeughed in an extremely joyful manner. Even without his divine seat...

    Slowly, Ye¡¯s gaze became cold. At this moment, the veterans that had been following Ye for a long time, including Zero, were extremely worried, as what was happening now was simply a repeat of what had happened back then.

    Back then, to ensure the rapid growth of the world, the Creation God had hoped that more gods would rise in power. And thus, powerful gods had been groomed, including Ye.

    And yet the powerful Ye had instead issued a challenge to the Creation God, resulting in the subsequent great war. What was happening now was so simr to what had happened back then. What Ye had done to the Creation God was now happening to him, and simrly, he was being challenged by the gods he himself had groomed.

    The only difference was that the Creation God had been challenged by Ye, who the Creation God had groomed himself, whereas Ye had, in order to prevent that, ensured that not a single god under him was excessively powerful, hoping that all the gods would grow in a bnced manner. He had originally thought that, with this, history would not repeat. Unexpectedly, what happened instead was all the gods betraying him at the same time.

    Zero trembled. ¡°Lord...¡±

    Ye smiled. ¡°Fear not. Perhaps it is time to show them my real strength. I can regain my apostles with this as well.¡±

    His tens of thousands of apostle candidates had been divided among the major gods. He had originally still been contemting whether or not to spare these gods. Now, though, there was no need for that. These gods had given him the answer he sought.

    ¡°Come. It has been way too long since west did battle...¡± The Sin God had a chilly gaze.

    A major god sneered. ¡°Do not fear him. He has obviously suffered a grave injury.¡±

    ¡°Yeah. Not only that, he has also lost his divine seat. Hecks the replenishment of believers. So long as we take this chance to get rid of him, he won¡¯t be too strong...¡±

    ¡°Yes, that makes sense.¡±

    The gods eyed the Sin God. Since it hade to this, they had no choice but to fight. This would be a battle where the major gods were the main yers.

    ¡°Come.¡±

    Bang!

    Terrifying godly power surged out as those gods started attacking.

    ¡°He won¡¯t be able to survive this.¡±

    ¡°We must eliminate him while he is injured.¡±

    Numerous powerful attacks sted toward Ye.

    ¡°They are going at it.¡± Chen Feng was in a solemn mood. Even though he had merely urged them on to deliver more injuries to Ye, he was hoping that Ye would truly fall here. If that happened, it would be excellent. Unfortunately, this was Ye...

    Bang!

    Ye raised his hand lightly.

    ¡°I have indeed lost my divine seat... However, you guys seem to have forgotten one thing. Before this era even started, I was already one with this world. I am the master of this world.¡±

    Bang!

    A horrifying power erupted suddenly. This unique power that waspletely unlike godly power, that was so powerful that it caused one to suffocate, began to descend from the sky.

    ¡°This... The power of the world! Damn it!¡±

    ¡°You have actually fused with this world!¡±

    ¡°Leave, fast!¡±

    The major gods¡¯ faces fell. The entire world operated as Ye willed. A massive power akin to numerous rotating mountain ranges headed toward the gods, suppressing them. Their instinctive reaction was to flee. s, it was already toote.

    Bang! Bang!

    The boundless power of the world descended, and just like that, the powerful major gods turned into ash and smoke.

    ¡°Hiss¡ª¡±

    All the other gods took in a deep breath in shock. Dead! All the major gods were dead! Ye, even without his divine seat, had only required a single attack to aplish this feat.

    ¡°This...¡±

    The lips of all the gods there felt dry, and their scalps became numb. This was truly too scary. Was this Ye¡¯s strength?

    ¡°Fusing with the world...¡± Chen Feng muttered inwardly. So it turned out that after fusing with the world, one could employ the world¡¯s power? That seemed reasonable. The moment one fused with the world, the world would be equivalent to that person¡¯s weapon. As such, that person would be able to control the entire force of the world, bing an unequaled existence.

    But in that case, how had the Creation God suffered defeat back then? Exhaustion. Even though such a person would nearly be unequaled with ess to the entire force of the world, the exhaustion rate of mobilizing such a force should be rather astonishing as well. In short, our adorable Lord Ye was presently...

    Chen Feng instinctively looked at Ye. Mhm... Ye¡¯s aura, which had already been heavily injured in the first ce, was even more unstable now. As for the remaining gods, who were in lower stages, none of them dared to look straight at the Sin God. However, Chen Feng could clearly see that Ye¡¯s aura was now near copse.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng understood something. To awe and scare all these lower-stage gods, Ye had exhausted nearly all his power. In that case...

 Chapter 796 - I Am Not Willing to Accept This

    <h4>Chapter 796: I Am Not Willing to ept This</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    ¡°Greetings, Lord.¡±

    The lower-stage gods were all filled with reverence. With this single battle, they had all thoroughly submitted. Against Ye, they no longer dared had any thoughts of resistance. Even though they could guess that Ye was rather exhausted and that he might not have much strength left, not a single one dared to gamble that their guess was right. They only dared to keep their thoughts to themselves, as this was Ye they faced. This was Ye, who, even in death, could still ensure all the gods would die together with him if he wished.

    They were all clear that a person at Ye¡¯s level would most definitely have a trump card that could be unleashed at the moment of death. As such, even if they were to use all their might to fight him, even if the battle progressed smoothly, the best conclusion would still be everyone¡¯s death. Was there a need for that? After all, none of them were major gods. They did not have such courage, nor did they have such capability.

    Ye mere regarded them coldly. Only after a long time did he start speaking. ¡°Very good. Hand over half the believers you guys have gotten from this world,¡± he coldly said. He was now clear that if he was too kind, these people would doubt him more. As such, he did not need to feign kindness. His ice-cold bearing could still be unleashed as he wished.

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    The low stage gods all heaved a sigh of relief. So long as he did not require them to hand over all the believers, everything would be fine. And thus, the battle came to an end. All of the apostles and believers of the major gods were returned to Ye, and all the other gods handed half their believers to him. With this, this incident came to an end.

    Ye walked to the corpse of a certain major god he had killed.

    Hum¡ª

    A translucent radiance flickered. An imprint shone on the dead god¡¯s forehead.

    <i>This...</i>

    The eyes of all the gods there went wide. However, soon after, they realized what was going on. Right, Lord Ye was recovering a divine seat. As far as this Lord Ye was concerned, regaining a divine seat was nothing special. So long as he was not interrupted, he could ascend to godhood again at any moment. At that time, Ye would fully regain all his strength.

    After ascending, with the replenishment of believers, he would be able to recover in a short while. Everything would return to normal soon after. However, right at this moment, lightughter resounded. Thisughter resounded throughout the area and was heard by everyone.

    <i>Who?</i>

    Everyone turned around instinctively. There, in a certain corner, a shadow had appeared.

    ...

    Ye stopped what he was doing. Since there was an enemy, he could not continue with the process of recovering a divine seat. After all, the several minutes of time he would require would be sufficient for an enemy to kill him. As such, he stopped. Coldly, he looked at the shadow expressionlessly.

    ¡°Interesting. There are more suicidal clowns around?¡± Ye asked coldly.

    That shadow merelyughed. ¡°Hehe.¡±

    ¡°Clown... Are you talking about yourself, Ye?¡± the figure said indifferently.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t you reveal yourself before you continue talking,¡± Ye said in disdain.

    ¡°I am already out here,¡± the shadow replied toyingly. ¡°This is my main body.¡±

    What? Nearly everyone was stunned. Main body? A shadow? Hold on... Their eyes widened as their gazes focused on that corner. There, they had initially seen half a shadow, seemingly the shadow of someone hiding in the corner. However, now that they focused on it, they found that it was precisely a shadow that had walked out of the corner.

    There was no body, only a single shadow there. What life-form was this? The gods were all amazed. Shadow... Ye had an ominous feeling as he saw this.

    Suddenly, the shadow asked, ¡°I believe you have met my junior brother, right?¡±

    ¡°Your junior brother?¡± Suddenly, a certain silhouette appeared in Ye¡¯s mind. Finally, a minute change appeared in his expression. Even though his face immediately returned to its previous expression, the slight change was still noticed by some of the gods present. That expression of his... was an expression of fear! That¡¯s right, Ye was actually scared.

    ¡°Correct. It is exactly as you guess.¡± The shadow smiled as he looked at Ye. ¡°My junior brother is the silhouette you fought a few days ago. Mhm... Originally, I thought that he would seed in killing you. Mhm... Looks like you are stronger than I imagined.¡±

    As the other gods heard this, their hearts jolted furiously. That silhouette... That person that had seriously injured Ye was actually this shadow¡¯s junior brother? Senior brother, junior brother...Heavens, what kind of existences were these two? The hearts of all the gods present started to palpitate. This was too scary a thought. This was too astonishing. As for Ye, his expression was iparably solemn.

    He could ignore all these regr gods. However, he could not ignore this shadow, because if this shadow was truly that silhouette¡¯s senior brother, his strength should be...

    Ye¡¯s voice became hoarse. ¡°Who exactly are you people?¡± He truly had no idea. If that silhouette was an existence he had overlooked, then who exactly was this shadow? This world... How had such terrifying existences appeared in his very own world? This was not supposed to be possible.

    If these two were the existences of an alien world, with how sensitive this world was, he would have been able to detect their appearance long ago rather than them arriving without him noticing. That silhouette had hidden in outer space, so he could ept the reasoning that the silhouette had avoided the senses of the world. However, this shadow here... Ye was truly clueless. And thus, he had asked the question he was most curious about.

    ¡°We?¡± A faintly discernible voice drifted out from that shadow. ¡°Do you truly not know? Back then, before Master left... We were created. Light representing the light of the world, darkness representing the darkness of the world. We have never gotten involved in the events of the world, instead distancing ourselves from everything. We have only maintained the order of the world in secret. Are you curious about why we do not suffer any of this world¡¯s repellence? The answer is rather simple. Because... this is our world! Before your arrival, this world belonged to us!¡±

    Bang!

    Ye¡¯s mind boomed. Master left... Created the two... Maintaining the order of the world... The world belonged to them... Could it be...

    ¡°You! Two!¡± said Ye, one word at a time. ¡°Left! By! The! Creation! God!¡±

    Bang!

    All the gods¡¯ eyes went wide as they heard this. Creation God... How could this...

    The shadowughed. ¡°Hehe. You have finally thought of this. Did you know? I have been waiting a long time for this moment. Master used his very own body to create this world, yet the world was conquered by you, the ambitious traitor. Do you truly believe that master didn¡¯t have any trump cards? You were wrong. Master is merely too benevolent, so he had intended to give you one more chance. Evidently, you have not treasured the single chance given to you.¡±

    The shadow appeared rather disappointed. As for Ye, he trembled, his eyes bloodshot. Creation God! Him again! How many years had it passed since the Creation God had transformed himself into the world? Yet even now, his shadows were still lurking in this world, still capable of judging Ye¡¯s actions! How ridiculous!

    ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for the Creation God¡¯s benevolence, you would have died a long time ago. However, you have nevertheless still crossed the line.¡± The shadow spoke indifferently. ¡°If you had truly focused on improving and managing this world, so what if the world was given to you? The benevolence of the Creation God is sufficient to ept your existence. s... You are truly disappointing.¡±

    The shadow looked over at the dead major gods. Their aura still lingered in the air.

    ¡°Too many gods have died.¡± The shadow sighed. ¡°So many that the world¡¯s operational system is on the verge of copse. Therefore, sorry, I shall implement the Creation God¡¯smand and erase you from this world...¡±

    ¡°Hehehehe.¡± Ye¡¯s expression warped. The Creation God! Again! Who did he think he was? A mere dog! With the two toys he had left behind, he wanted to put the Sin God under his control? How utterly ridiculous!

    ¡°I do not ept this!¡± Ye howled.

    Bang!

    Instantly, he erupted with power. While the shadow was still talking, while everyone was still contemting, Ye unleashed his attack. A horrifying power surged out once again. The attack came at an incredible speed, a speed that caused the hearts of all the gods present to chill. Ye had actually preserved some of his strength. If they had tried to fight him earlier, they would probably have died. And now...

    Pu!

    That attack directly sted into the shadow¡¯s body.

    <h4>Chapter 797: This Seems to be Progressing Wrongly</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    ¡°Shadow? Die!¡± Ye said, his gaze cold. Next, he fully unleashed his formidable power and sted the shadow¡¯s body. Before this powerful attack, the shadow¡¯s body started to fall apart.

    ¡°I, the Sin God, Ye, am the master of this world!¡± Ye said in a tyrannical manner. The various gods trembled in fear before the might disyed by Ye. At this time, nobody dared to challenge the Ye¡¯s majesty. However, after using all his power to destroy that shadow, Ye¡¯s expression became somewhat strange. He felt like something wasn¡¯t right. Ye frowned as he pondered this. Was the shadow too strong? No, rather, the shadow was too weak!

    The shadow, which was supposed to be a powerful existence, had crumbled apart the moment his attack touched it. This gave Ye a bad premonition, as his attack had been no different than attacking a mosquito with a nuclear warhead. It was too much of a waste of his power.

    Could this shadow be a mere clone? So they were so arrogant to the point that they had only sent a clone to deal with him? If so... Indeed, right at this moment, another shadow appeared in the corner, proving Ye¡¯s guess correct.

    Here again! Ye¡¯s heart trembled. This time, this should be that fellow¡¯s true body. However, Ye was nevertheless still Ye. Having suffered a loss once, he would no longer be tricked. In his mind, he reyed the scene where he met the silhouette¡¯s clone as well as the silhouette¡¯s real body. Since they were fellow apprentice brothers, the difference between their clones and their main bodies should be quite simr. Therefore...

    Shua!

    The shadow appeared slowly. In Ye¡¯s heart, a standard had already been set. He calmly waited for the shadow to fully appear. When he saw a familiar symbol on the shadow, his guess was confirmed. This was indeed the shadow¡¯s real body.

    Ye sneered. ¡°You are so powerful, yet you still need a clone to test the waters for you?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± The shadow smiled. ¡°Otherwise, how am I supposed to exhaust your strength? Earlier, in order to eliminate my clone, you should have exhausted quite a lot of strength, right? Ah, you, despite already being exhausted in the first ce, were forced to once again release an attack of such power... Tsk tsk. How much more of your power can you still draw on? Or perhaps you are already at your limit?¡±

    The shadowughed and continued, ¡°Nevertheless, it no longer matters. Since even that fellow is capable of fighting you to the point that the both of you are seriously injured, you clearly are not that powerful even at your peak, let alone the current you. Let me be the one to end this struggle.¡±

    Bang!

    The shadow strode out, taking the initiative to attack. The various gods around them were all trembling in fear. This was not a battle they could hope to join. The enemy was too powerful, possessing a strength they could only look up to. The enemy¡¯s aura alone was sufficient to cause them to tremble in fear.

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid Lord Ye is in deep trouble this time.¡±

    ¡°Sigh, I never expected a new war of the gods would ur after so many years...¡±

    ¡°I suppose this is why Lord Ye has been so angry.¡±

    The various godsmented. In the war back then, Ye had suffered defeat and been forced to wait for countless years before the Creation God finally decided to fuse his body with the world. After that, he had still needed to wait for many years to confirm that the Creation God had indeed sacrificed his body. After confirming the disappearance of the Creation God, he had waited many more years before daring to do anything.

    Unexpectedly, not long after he had reappeared, the people left behind by the Creation God had appeared yet again to deal with him. How could this not anger him? Wasn¡¯t the Creation God somewhat excessive? Back then, the war between the various gods of the Primordial Era had beenpletely ignored by him, resulting in countless casualties. Yet after several tens of thousands of years, when Ye appeared, these leftovers of the Creation God¡¯s had appeared as well. What was with this bullying?

    If Ye were still oblivious to this, it wouldn¡¯t matter much. Now that he finally knew the truth, though, how could he stay calm? The most terrifying part was the fact that these two fellows were truly too strong!

    ¡°Can Lord Ye win?¡±

    ¡°I reckon it will be quite hard.¡±

    ¡°A single silhouette was already sufficient to seriously injure him. Now that the shadow has appeared and has even tricked Lord Ye into wasting a huge portion of his strength before the fight even begin...¡±

    As they thought about this, they were all rmed. This shadow was so strong, yet he was still using such tricks. Just like that, one of Ye¡¯s trump card had been wasted by a trick. Now that the shadow was personally making a move, could Ye stop him? None of them knew the answer to that. At present, they could only watch on silently.

    Indeed, this was the real body. Ye understood clearly. Unlike the clone, which had spoken way too much, this real body attacked the moment he appeared. This was how they should have acted, given their strength. Shadow... Ye¡¯s gaze became cold. He clenched his fists tightly as he sensed the empty supply of power within him. Had he been forced into desperation? It did not matter. He still had a single chance remaining, a trump card he had kept hidden for a very long time.

    Bang!

    As the shadow arrived with a terrifying might, Ye finally moved. He had been waiting calmly until the instant the shadow reached him before moving. He lightly raised his right hand. This single motion produced an earth-shattering effect.

    Bang!

    With this single motion, half the sky seemed to crack apart.

    ¡°This is...¡±

    All the gods¡¯ eyes widened. <i>How strong! </i>This was their first thought. <i>Ye still had a trump card hidden away? </i>This was their second thought. <i>Heavens! </i>He was obviously already iparably weakened and near death, yet his trump cards seemed never-ending, each as shocking as thest.

    This was too scary. They all observed a moment of silence, mourning the major gods that had dared to move against Ye earlier. Nobody had the slightest idea exactly how strong Ye was.

    Shua!

    Slowly, the radiance from Ye¡¯s attack faded. Was it over? The various gods looked over. Indeed, the shadow had vanished. Under Ye¡¯s superpowerful trump card, the shadow had beenpletely decimated. However, they felt doubtful when they saw that Ye¡¯s expression was incredibly unsightly.

    ¡°Something feels wrong.¡± Ye shut both his eyes. Yet another clone? No, he was sure that the shadow earlier was the real body. However, that feeling... waspletely wrong! After all, he had faced the silhouette in a battle before and was aware of how strong that fellow was. However, this shadow here, although he had indeed erupted with a rather remarkable strength, was still giving Ye a certain feeling, a feeling that he was so very weak!

    This was clearly not how strong the shadow was supposed to be, yet that had clearly been his real body. Ye was at a loss. Had he been too nervous and thus been overthought this? Or perhaps there was more than one enemy? There was a dark shadow and a shiny silhouette. Perhaps there were other figures of different colors? No, that shouldn¡¯t be the case.

    Instinctively, Ye looked at the corner while his mind was in a mess. Next, with astonishment, he saw that yet another figure had appeared there. This figure was red.

    Ye¡¯s eyes went wide. There was indeed a figure of a different color! Could it be that...

    ¡°If you have the guts,e out together!¡± shouted Ye, as he had a bad premonition.

    Shua! Shua!

    And behold, from the corner, seven figures appeared. Each of the figures was a real body. There was not a single clone among them. The seven figures were of differing colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. Amid the dusky world, the seven shining figures were so dazzling that the various gods nearly went blind.

    ¡°This... What is this?¡±

    All the gods were stupefied. Had these all been left behind by the Creation God? They all had such unique characteristic... The characteristics of RGB?[1] <sup>1</sup>

    The gods were all stupefied. Ye was stupefied as well. This... did not seem right?

 Chapter 798 - Extraordinary Imagination

    <h4>Chapter 798: Extraordinary Imagination</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    Amid the dusky sky, in a certain far-off corner of the battle that all the gods were focusing on, in the same corner where numerous figures had appeared, two people were crouching, their heads aching.

    ¡°This plot seems rather wrong?¡± Chen Feng was extremely distressed. A problem had urred with the n.

    ¡°Yeah.¡± In front of him was a youth with a simrly distressed expression. This was precisely his disciple from a long time ago, Wu Hui. With the descent of cmity and the arrival of the era of gods, apart from Chen Feng¡¯s group of three, there were a few other unique existences that had also relied on their unique fortuitous encounters to free themselves of this crisis. It was obvious that Wu Hui was one of these unique individuals.

    He was now an apostle. He was also the guy who had nned the ambush on the fast guy with the various words carved out of mountains back then. After that incident, Chen Feng had resumed contact with him. This time, they were nning to eliminate the Sin God.

    Mhm, their n was supposed to be very simple. They would first force Ye to fight the various major gods to exhaust his strength. The second step would be to force the exhausted Ye to fight the shadow¡¯s numerous clones, exhausting his trump cards. With that, when Chen Feng¡¯s group emerged in the end, they would be able to defeat Ye.

    This was quite a simple n. After all, the so-called shadow and the various figures were creations of Wu Hui¡¯s ability that hadbined with the godly power Wu Hui had obtained when he became an apostle. What he had unleashed was precisely Ye¡¯s imagination. Moreover, these figures had been created with Wu Hui¡¯sparatively weak godly power. As such, the shadows were in fact quite weak.

    This was not a trick they could repeat, as Ye was not a fool that would endlessly fall to their tricks. As such, their n had been to use these shadows to trick Ye once. Everything had progressed smoothly, sessfully exhausting one of Ye¡¯s trump card with the ¡°clone¡± before exhausting another of his trump cards with the ¡°real body.¡±

    This was supposed to be the time for Chen Feng to step out and end this. However, surprising them, before they could do anything, an unforeseen circumstance had arisen.

    Just as Wu Hui was about to stop using his ability, his ability produced another figure. Chen Feng was stupefied at this sight. Wu Hui was the same. There were more?

    Chen Feng¡¯s confidence vanished. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Holy shit, it couldn¡¯t be that their lie had transformed into reality, right? After all, the previous time he had lied to the gods, his lie had transformed into reality with the appearance of Sin God. And now, the so-called dark shadow and bright silhouette...

    ¡°This can¡¯t be, right?¡± Chen Feng¡¯s hands shivered. If this truly became reality, it would truly be over for him.

    ¡°No, not quite.¡± Wu Huiughed bitterly, ¡°It¡¯s my ability.¡±

    Chen Feng heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± <i>So it turns out that the figure was created by Wu Hui. That¡¯s fine, then. Hold on. </i>Chen Feng seemed to have realized something.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to stop?¡± Chen Feng was confused.

    ¡°Yeah, I was about to stop, but this image appeared in Ye¡¯s mind, creating this figure before I could stop.¡± Wu Hui¡¯s head ached.

    ¡°You are saying... this figure is the product of Ye¡¯s imagination?¡± Chen Feng was astonished. He had initially thought that Ye would see through the lie after witnessing the ¡°clone¡± and ¡°real body.¡± Unexpectedly...

    ¡°Should I turn this figure off?¡± Wu Hui asked cautiously.

    ¡°No.¡± Chen Feng waved his hand. ¡°I am quite curious; what else his mind can create?¡±

    Just as he finished his words, several shiny figures appeared. Chen Feng and Wu Hui witnessed the birth of this group of rainbow figures with their very own eyes. Or perhaps one could say that this was a group of RGB figures.

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡±

    Wu Hui: ¡°...¡±

    What else could they say in response to this? Ye was worthy of his identity as a god, possessing such a rich imagination? Even the figures he imagined were so brilliant.

    ¡°The limit of my creativity is creating a dark shadow-like figure. Look at Ye¡¯s imagination...¡± Chen Fengmented endlessly.

    Wu Hui: ¡°...What should we do now?¡±

    He was somewhat anxious.

    ¡°Wait and see.¡± Chen Feng focused his gaze ahead. At present, he too was clueless about what Ye was thinking.

    ...

    At the same time, when the figures appeared before Ye, he finally started going crazy.

    ¡°Haha. I knew it. It¡¯s impossible for you to be so weak! Since that bastard Creation God left behind some trump cards to deal with me, how can the trump cards be so weak? That bright silhouette was so strong. How is it possible that the shadow is weak? Hahaha, so turns out this is your actual trump card?¡±

    Ye was furious. He felt like the shadow was ying around with him. Real body? Indeed, all of these were real bodies. However, one could also have various real bodies. Clones were something one could create or destroy at any time. As for real bodies, they would exist forever. However, what if someone had numerous real bodies? Since this fellow had decided to face him, it was inevitable that he himself would also suffer damage from this encounter.

    Therefore, he was prepared to sacrifice several clones, while this shadow was precisely a person whose ability was the creation of numerous clones that were also real bodies at the same time. So it turned out that this was the case. Ye finally understood clearly. If this shadow looked for him alone, there was a possibility of him dying. That was because, despite his numerous clones, his strength was rather unremarkable. He was not at all match for Ye. Therefore, he first had the bright silhouette exhaust Ye¡¯s strength, then sent the dark shadow over...

    ¡°Hehe.¡±

    Ye finally understood everything. The n was to send figure after figure at him to exhaust him.

    <i>What a fine scheme, shadow. Unfortunately, since this n has already been seen through by me, sorry, I will not give you the chance to defeat me.</i>

    Ye¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly.

    ¡°Come out.¡±

    Ye inhaled deeply as he decided to no longer retain any power, as it would bepletely meaningless. If he continued retaining his strength, he would probably be exhausted to death by this damnable shadow¡¯s inexhaustible clones. Therefore, he might as well thoroughly eliminate this shadow.

    Bang!

    A tremendous power started emerging from the deepest part of Ye¡¯s body.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance started converging around him.

    ¡°Come out!¡± he howled.

    A wondrous-looking string of light appeared in his hands. This was the Karma String, a weapon capable of linking all the figures together and dragging them out. That¡¯s right, Ye was nning to use brute force to drag the enemy out. This was his final trump card, a power he had never dared use before.

    One...

    Two...

    Three...

    Ten...

    ...

    Ultimately, more than 200 figures were dragged out, each a different color. Around them, the various observing gods were already thoroughly stupefied. These figures...

    Yeughed. ¡°Very good. You guys have finally revealed yourselves. To be capable of forcing me to this extent, you are quite a terrific person. Remember that even that silhouette only managed to injure me, and the injuries were merely flesh wounds. Yet you.... hehe,¡± Ye muttered. ¡°Worthy of being the something the Creation God created. Unfortunately, this is the end for you. It is time to show you guys exactly why I was able to rebel against the Creation God back then.¡±

    Bang!

    A terrifying power erupted and engulfed the entire area. The figures that were linked by the Karma String started shaking.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Next, something terrifying happened. Instantly, all the figures linked together transformed into ash and dust and waffled through the air, presenting quite a horrifying sight.

    Ye sighed. ¡°Let this end.¡±

    Karma... Before the eyes of so many gods, the 200-plus figures turned into ash. Was this... finally over? Ye stood up and turned around in preparation to leave. Right at this instant, an astonishing radiance shed. Ye turned around abruptly, and before he could even do anything, an immense force could be felt piercing through his chest.

    Pu!

    Instantly, that massive force prated his chest and destroyed his entire body.

    ¡°You...¡±

    Ye¡¯s eyes went wide, unbelieving. Before his eyes was a person he was incredibly familiar with: Chen Feng.

 Chapter 799 - The Final Trump Card

    Chapter 799: The Final Trump Card

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Prior to the elimination of the numerous figures, the appearance of the 256 figures had rendered even Chen Feng speechless as he wondered exactly what was contained in the Sin God¡¯s brain, to be able to give birth to so many figures with his imagination. As for why the figures had stopped appearing at this point? It was quite simple. Rather than this being the limit of the Sin God¡¯s imagination, it was due to the total exhaustion of Wu Hui¡¯s energy.

    ¡°My godly power is already fully exhausted.¡± Wu Hui smiled bitterly. This was the first time his godly power had been fully exhausted since he had entered the apostle realm. After all, he normally relied on the imagination of his enemies and so did not need to expend too much of his own energy. One could say that his normal exhaustion rate was extremely low.

    Yet this time, the more than 200 figures had fully emptied him. The scale of Ye¡¯s imagination was truly so great that they could only gasp in amazement. And that was why the figures had stopped appearing at this point. Naturally, from the Sin God¡¯s point of view, it was thanks to his Karma String that he had been able to drag all these enemies out. He had absolutely no idea that this had nothing to do with his Karma String.

    Nevertheless, the moment Ye made his move, both Chen Feng and Wu Hui were truly rmed. This was especially true when all the figures transformed into ash at the same time. That shocking sight gave Chen Feng quite the fright. So it turned out that Ye had such a trump card? Worthy of being Ye!

    If so, were there any trump cards he had yet to show? Chen Feng used the godly power of luck to obtain an answer through deduction. After obtaining the answer, which he found favorable, he acted without hesitation. He unleashed the strongest attack he had everunched, amplified to the power of three. The might of this attack reached an extremely terrifying level.

    Perhaps this attack couldn¡¯t have done anything against Ye at his peak. However, against this weakened Ye, this Ye who had no trump cards left, Chen Feng¡¯s attack disyed an astonishing effectiveness, immediately piercing through Ye.

    Pu!

    Through Ye¡¯s chest the attack went.

    ¡°You... have joined them...¡±

    Ye did not dare believe his eyes. Chen Feng, that pitiful human. All along, Ye had merely seen Chen Feng as a chess piece, a chess piece that was struggling for survival with great difficulty amid Ye and the silhoutte¡¯s conflict. Chen Feng had only been able to survive by fluke alone.

    Even Chen Feng¡¯s godhood was something Ye had personally bestowed upon him. And yet, Ye had never imagined that Chen Feng, whom he had personally gifted a divine seat, would be one to kill him with godly power.

    ¡°You...¡±

    Ye sensed the pain in his body and, at the same time, Chen Feng¡¯s power, which was absolutely beyond Chen Feng¡¯s level, a power that normally only major gods could unleash. Ye was indignant. He had calcted everything. He wouldn¡¯t be bothered even if all these elementary and journeyman gods were to rebel right here. That was because his body was sufficiently powerful to the point that a regr elementary or journeyman god waspletely incapable of doing him any harm. As the strongest god, his body had been tempered to an extremely terrifying level.

    However, this attack of Chen Feng¡¯s... major god...

    Hehe.

    Yeughed bitterly. This little fellow, who had received the gift of godhood from him, had reached such a height? He had been defeated, thoroughly defeated.

    ¡°Creation God... Bright silhouette... Dark shadow...¡±

    Ye¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred. He was indignant and felt great hatred. He was the illustrious Sin God! How could he suffer such a miserable defeat? He was truly indignant. The only person he did not hate was Chen Feng, because as far as he was concerned, Chen Feng was still a pitiful chess piece.

    Yeughed softly. ¡°Hehe. Do you know that even after killing me, they won¡¯t let you off?¡±

    Ka! Ka!

    He could feel his power weakening and the organs within his body going rigid. Without the replenishment of godly power, his unequalled body was on the verge of copse.

    ¡°Perhaps the Creation God is a kind person. However, too long has passed. That silhouette... I can feel the surging ambition within him.¡± Yeughed. ¡°You will die. Ultimately, that silhouette will subjugate the entire world. Be extremely sure that his goal is definitely the subjugation of the entire world, including the world of humans. Your strength as a mere major god is far from enough...¡±

    Ye¡¯s gaze was filled with pity as he looked at Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡±

    Of course he was aware of this. However, he had no other choice. He had to eliminate these two one at a time.

    ¡°After killing you, I will naturally go kill him as well,¡± Chen Feng dered coldly.

    Ye howled withughter. ¡°Hahaha. Is that even possible? His strength is not below me. Perhaps, he has simrly powerful trump cards as well. What can you use to kill him? Do you even stand a chance? If... if it wasn¡¯t for the appearance of the shadow forcing my hand, how would you even have stood a chance against me?¡± Ye said with disdain.

    Major gods? He had killed many of them not very long ago. If not for his fight with the shadow exhausting his trump cards, how could Chen Feng have had a chance?

    ¡°Trump cards?¡±

    Chen Feng did not deny this point. Indeed, an existenceparable to Ye would most definitely have terrifying trump cards. This almost certainly applied to that silhouette as well. Well, he would find out with time. Chen Feng took in a deep breath. Because he had lied about that silhouette being left behind by the Creation God, Chen Feng was the only one that was aware that the silhouette¡¯s real identity was still a mystery.

    Who exactly was that fellow? Chen Feng hadn¡¯t the slightest idea. Perhaps the day woulde when he figured out who that person was. At that time, he would perhaps be able to figure out what his trump card was as well. As for now... As Chen Feng looked at Ye, a thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.

    Ka! Ka!

    Ye¡¯s body was gradually going cold. His consciousness was bing blurry as well. Even so, a firm gaze was still maintained on his face. He was indeed worthy of being the once strongest god. Even with such an injury, he was still not fully dead.

    ...

    ¡°I will be waiting for you.¡± Ye had a faint smile as he looked at Chen Feng. ¡°Within that endless abyss.¡±

    He had been defeated. Thus, he would admit his defeat. However, he would never allow a mere chess piece to ridicule him.

    ¡°You won¡¯t.¡± Suddenly, Chen Fengughed. ¡°There is something I have forgotten to tell you.¡±

    Ye¡¯s gaze focused on Chen Feng. ¡°Mhm?¡±

    ¡°There is no such thing as a bright silhouette and a dark shadow, nor is there anything like the leftovers of the Creation God...¡± Chen Feng whispered into Ye¡¯s ear. ¡°All of that was but a lie told for the sake of killing you. What you killed with your trump card was just a fragment of your imagination...¡±

    ¡°How is that possible?¡± Ye would not believe these words easily.

    ¡°Look over there... and imagine the Creation God. See what¡¯s going to happen,¡± Chen Feng said lightly.

    ¡°Creation God...¡± Subconsciously, Ye did as he¡¯d been told. And next, he saw that in that corner, a figure indeed appeared... This was the figure of the Creation God...

    Instantly, Ye¡¯s blurry consciousness recovered a moment of rity.

    ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± Ye¡¯s gaze became bloodshot. Chen Feng! It was actually him! Everything had actually been his n! How was this even possible?

    Chen Feng spoke unhurriedly. ¡°I told you, I will return. The moment you conquered the human world, I said I would return and retake the human world right before your eyes...¡±

    Bang!

    Ye¡¯s mind trembled, his heart filled with unwillingness. He could admit his defeat toward the Creation God. However, this Chen Feng, a mere bug, an existence he could ignore, had actually...

    Suddenly, Ye calmed down. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t have told me this.¡±

    Chen Feng nked. ¡°What?¡±

    Suddenly, Ye¡¯s voice became faintly discernable and illusory. ¡°With my title as the Sin God, I hereby curse you... to eternal depravity!¡±

    ¡°God¡¯s curse!¡±

    The surrounding gods were so shocked that everyone retreated. The god¡¯s curse was a curse unleashed by a god with all his might and potential. It was an extremely terrifying curse. The stronger the user was, the scarier the curse. And Ye...

    ¡°Even though I no longer have anything, even without my divine seat... my umtion throughout the years is sufficient to consign you to eternal damnation!¡± Ye howled withughter. ¡°If it had been the silhouette and the shadow, seeds left behind by the Creation God, I would truly be helpless, as the Creation God is a greater god than me, an existence I can¡¯t curse. But you... Haha.¡± In his final moments, Ye appeared deranged. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t have told me the truth.¡±

    Bang!

    A ck beam pierced through the void and directly entered Chen Feng¡¯s body.

    ¡°Let this end now.¡±

    Ye¡¯s gaze became calm. Finally... everything was over... even if he was no longer immortal. However, this had concluded with an ending he found eptable. However, right as his consciousness was fading, Chen Feng¡¯s voice sounded by his ear. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    What was there to thank him for? Before Ye could even react to this, his consciousness sank into slumber, an eternal slumber.

    Chapter 800: Who Are You?

    Swish!

    A ck radiance surged. The curse made by the Sin God before his death was also his final trump card. That ck radiance streaked past the horizon and, under the shocked gazes of the various gods, hit Chen Feng, entering his body and vanishing without a trace. That¡¯s right, it vanished. This seemingly terrifying curse did not seem to do anything to Chen Feng.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°No idea.¡±

    The various gods were in a daze from the extreme shock. The things they had seen today had truly shocked them. This was especially true for the final scene, where Chen Feng erupted with an astonishing might and killed Ye. Heavens, that was Ye! Even more terrifying was the fact that the curse Ye had made before his death, his final trump card, was seemingly useless? That bizarre ck radiance had no effect on Chen Feng.

    Not quite. The gods all opened their eyes wide and focused their gazes on Chen Feng. Next, they saw that when the ck radiance entered Chen Feng¡¯s body, an expression offort appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. And next...

    Bang!

    An astonishing aura roiled out. This...

    ¡°Major god!¡± the gods cried out in rm. What was happening with Chen Feng presently was the sign of one breaking through into the major god stage. In short, Chen Feng had made use of this to directly break through to the major god stage? The various gods did not know what to say. They knew that the era was going to change yet again.

    Ye was dead, as were the various major gods. Only a single recently broken through major god was left behind. Despite this, this major god possessed extremely terrifying strength. This was Chen Feng. The various gods trembled, not daring to move at all.

    ¡°Ah.¡±

    An expression of utmostfort was stered on Chen Feng¡¯s face. He had finally broken through. Naturally, the breakthrough didnt refer to himself. Rather, it was the Misfortune Goddess. Due to the redistribution of godly power to Spirit alone so that they could deal with Ye, the Misfortune Goddess¡¯s had growth stunted. That was why she hadn¡¯t been able to recover to the major god stage. Fortunately, before Ye¡¯s death, he had given them a huge gift.

    God¡¯s curse? As far as the Misfortune Goddess was concerned, this was an extremely helpful tonic. As such, she was able to instantly reach the major god stage after absorbing this curse. And now, even though Chen Feng still appeared to be a elementary god, within him were two major gods whose strength couldn¡¯t be measured with conventional methods. Chen Feng stood up, his gaze slowly sweeping past the various gods around him.

    Among these gods, the strongest was at a peak journeyman god. At present, all of them were prostrating before Chen Feng. In this era, hierarchy was extremely important. As Chen Feng realized that they were all prostrating before him, he nked momentarily. So it turned out his n to kill Ye had indeed seeded.

    He had truly reached this height, had truly killed the Sin God, bing an expert of this era. Apart from that, all the other major gods were dead as well. And thus, he was now the strongest among these gods. However, he was able to calm his surging emotions shortly.

    Even though it might appear like he was the strongest god, he was clear that the only reason he had even been able to defeat Ye was due to the various major gods serving as cannon fodder earlier, the Sin God¡¯s fear of the Creation God, and the injuries Ye had suffered at the hands of that silhouette.

    For now, he needed to first stabilize everything. First, he had to put his strength in order, then find an opportunity to get rid of that silhouette. At that time, he would truly be the strongest of this era, a supreme god.

    ¡°You may stand,¡± Chen Feng said indifferently.

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    The various gods stood up.

    ¡°We need a new leader,¡± Chen Feng said nonchntly.

    ¡°Yes. We are willing to follow your lead,¡± the various gods said without hesitation. They pondered slightly and continued, ¡°As for the believers... we are also willing to hand them over.¡±

    This was something they had to do. What kind of person was this Chen Feng? A lot of people actually had a slight idea now. When they heard that Chen Feng was actually a human, the gods with human believers trembled in fear. They were not willing to die for no apparent reason.

    Chen Feng shook his head. ¡°There is no need for that. Believers are, after all, believers, not murderers. Since you guys are gods they have voluntarily selected, just allow them to continue with their faith. There is no need to think about this too much.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, Lord.¡±

    The various gods were overjoyed. However, right at this instant, a figure appeared in the distance.

    Thump.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. This figure... It couldn¡¯t be that his lies had indeed transformed into reality again, right? This wasn¡¯t something left behind by the Creation God, right? Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled.

    Fortunately, that figure revealed itself in front of them soon after. This figure turned out to be a major god Chen Feng was extremely familiar with: the Forest Goddess.

    ¡°Major god?¡±

    The hearts of the various gods thumped. So there was another major god alive? Oh, true, she hadn¡¯t been around when they were ganging up on Ye.

    ¡°If it¡¯s her...¡±

    Some gods were tempted and walked to the Forest Goddess. ¡°I am willing to follow you, Lord.¡±

    Evidently, not all the gods liked Chen Feng. After all, his identity as a human was truly somewhat too shocking to them. Moreover,pared to a new major god like Chen Feng, the Forest Goddess, who had been a major god for countless years, a primordial god, seemed like a much better choice. And thus, arge number of gods immediately abandoned Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng had a faint smile on his face. These fellows... ¡°You guys swore an oath earlier.¡±

    Shua! Shua!

    The Forest Goddess walked over slowly. As for the various gods, they all stood behind her, not daring to say anything. However, some of their gazes were already filled with some sort of pride when they looked at Chen Feng. Evidently, they were of the opinion that this was the correct choice. Mhm... At the very least, this was what they believed.

    ¡°It has been a while,¡± Chen Feng said. Thest time they met had been during the death of the Luck Goddess.

    ¡°Yeah. You two are truly adept at having fun,¡± the Forest Goddess said grudgingly, ¡°Even if you two wanted to y, why not y at home? Why must you two drag me in as well?¡±

    Evidently, she had already noticed a familiar power about Chen Feng: luck.

    Chen Feng was still together with that Luck Goddess. Moreover, their rtionship seemed even more intimate now. If that was the case, what exactly happened back then? Had they been ying around with her?

    ¡°She indeed died.¡± Chen Feng smiled. ¡°This Spirit is the Spirit that apanied me for many years.¡±

    The Forest Goddess had a pensive look when she heard this. Consciousness separation! This thought surfaced almost immediately. What a fine Chen Feng! Was this how he had tricked her back then as well? She shook her head. In terms of strength, she was naturally stronger than Chen Feng, past and present. Even though Chen Feng had killed Ye, the Forest Goddess was clear that Chen Feng wasn¡¯t particrly powerful.

    However, thest time they had met, Chen Feng had still been a normal human. Yet now... Was this the potential of the human race? Or perhaps it was this Chen Feng that was abnormal?

    ¡°I hope you can reach your goal.¡± The Forest Goddess sighed and left noiselessly. She had no intention of getting involved in Chen Feng¡¯s matters, nor was she interested inpeting against him. As such, she drifted away to continue being a major god that was not bothered with the affairs of the world. After all, this was how she had survived the cmity that befell the various major gods earlier.

    ¡°Many thanks,¡± Chen Feng replied calmly. As for the gods that had switched camps when the Forest Goddess appeared, they were all dumbstruck. Holy shit... So it turned out that these two knew each other? And from their conversation, it seemed like they had even done something naughty together?

    The gods all copsed emotionally. If they had known this, would there have been a need for all this? Holy shit, they had believed that the Forest Goddess was here to fight for authority.

    ¡°Erm...¡± They looked at the Chen Feng with cold expressions, their scalps going numb.

    ¡°You guys, hand over the believers,¡± Chen Feng said indifferently.

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Although this pained them greatly, they were relieved as well. At the very least, they could stay alive. Chen Feng wasn¡¯t bothered about what they were thinking. His gaze was focused on the sky. Even though he was already the lord of these gods, even though he was already the strongest on this piece ofnd, he was aware who his actual opponent was. Beyond that sky was a certain shiny existence that was iparably terrifying.

    Who... exactly are you?

 Chapter 801 - The Era of Chen Feng

    Chapter 801: The Era of Chen Feng

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Beneath the night sky, Chen Feng took a step forward. At this instant, endless power of faith surged out. It was also at this instant that the various gods finally realized that all of the missing human believers were under Chen Feng¡¯s control. On their faces, a sense of helplessness could be seen. It was no wonder they had failed to find the culprit. After all, the main culprit was the first person they had kicked out. Worthy of being Lord Chen Feng indeed.

    Bang! Bang!

    Chen Feng continued stepping forth one step at a time. The endless power of faith surged out. This faith was from his very own believers, the believers of the dead major gods, and the believers of those gods that had tried to follow the Forest Goddess earlier. At this point, Chen Feng alone monopolized 80% of humanity¡¯s belief.

    This was quite a terrifying amount. It was a great shock to the various gods watching on. This many believers...

    Swish!

    A ck sh streaked past. A certain god had suddenly erupted with power.

    ¡°Careful,¡± everyone cried out in rm. However, it became clear that the god¡¯s target was Chen Feng, as he had already reached Chen Feng.

    ¡°It¡¯s him.¡±

    The various gods were rmed. The Night God, a peak journeyman god only a step away from the major god stage. He had tried breaking through numerous times in the past, yet he failed every time. However, due to his numerous attempts, his strength was rather frightening. He was the closest to being a major god here and the strongest person below the major god stage.

    ¡°Hmph.¡±

    With this sneak attack at night, he dered his provocation. Major god? As far as he was concerned, it was but a joke. Even though he wasn¡¯t a major god, with his present strength, he could even kill major gods with a sneak attack. As such, he did not fear any god. Ye had been the only exception.

    He would still have had to restrain if Ye was around. Now that Ye was dead, Chen Feng actually dreamed of assuming control over everyone? How ridiculous. And the Night God had been waiting, waiting for a single opportunity. Chen Feng¡¯s huge quantity of believers was a source of envy for him. So many believers... If he had even half that amount, he would have broken through long ago, right?

    What if...

    He was tempted. And thus, he moved against Chen Feng without hesitation.

    Swish!

    The dark streak directly pierced through space to reach Chen Feng.

    ¡°Not good.¡±

    ¡°Something is about to happen.¡±

    ¡°Damn it. Lord Chen Feng is a newly broken-through major god.¡±

    ¡°How hateful.¡±

    Quite a few of the gods there felt anxious. These were mostly the gods that had selected Chen Feng¡¯s camp since the beginning, those believing in the potential of Chen Feng and his nature as a person. Unexpectedly, not long had passed before something like this happened. In addition to these gods, there was an evenrger number of gods merely watching on coldly and indifferently.

    ¡°If it is the Night God, he might seed.¡±

    ¡°True, he is already infinitely close to being a major god. If he erupts with a sneak attack, his attack strength will be amplified by several times. With Chen Feng having only recently broken through to the major god stage... Hehe.¡±

    A lot of gods merely watched on. Some wanted to help but couldn¡¯t make it in time. Some could help Chen Feng but did not want to. And thus, before many pairs of eyes, the Night God streaked straight toward Chen Feng with a horrifying and overwhelming momentum.

    And yet, beyond all their expectations, Chen Feng was still expressionless. He looked at the dark streak coldly. At this instant, his eyes began to radiate with a suffocating radiance. Next, from one of his eyes, a bright and powerful major god¡¯s godly power surged out, profound and enigmatic. From his other eye, a ck and surging major god¡¯s godly power surged out, dark and sinister.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone, one bright and the other dark. The streak that was the Night God neared Chen Feng, yet it was precisely under this high-speed movement that an expression of utter terror appeared on his face as his entire body transformed into ash and scattered in the air. The ashes waffled about around Chen Feng. The Night God was nowhere to be seen.

    All the gods¡¯ hearts jolted. Some had already guessed that the Night God might not be Chen Feng¡¯s opponent. However, none of them had expected this to be the result of their collision. Chen Feng¡¯s eyes, and the power he had unleashed... The various gods gulped. So this was Chen Feng¡¯s actual strength?

    ¡°Any other challengers?¡± Chen Feng asked indifferently. The hearts of the various gods chilled. Not a single one dared to answer him.

    ¡°Very good. Let us stop here then.¡± He stood up, surrounded by a boundless power of faith. All the gods waited deferentially upon Chen Feng as he departed. They were all clear that with this, no more gods would dare challenge Chen Feng. There were no longer any gods capable of stopping Chen Feng. With such a massive number of believers, Chen Feng would grow at an incredibly horrifying speed. As of this moment, Chen Feng¡¯s position was unshakable. He, Chen Feng, was now the new god-king.

    This wondrousnd had experienced the era of the Creation God, a chaotic era, and the era of Ye. Now, the era of Chen Feng had arrived. The next day, the details of the incident spread all over the world. All of humanity celebrated, and Chen Feng¡¯s believer count grew sharply once again. With the fusion of the human world and this unique era, this new era had thergest poption.

    Chen Feng was the controller of this world, and the gods under him controlled their respective domains. Naturally, the bountiful humans were a slice of cake that no god dared mess with. And thus, the world returned to order in a short while and entered a prosperous era. In addition to Chen Feng, the various gods¡¯ believers increased sharply as well. All the gods were growing.

    It was rumored that even though only a few days had passed, some journeyman gods had already broken through to the major god stage. Even so, none of them dared to challenge Chen Feng. In all honesty, they were clear that even with their new strength, they could not have survived the Night God¡¯s sneak attack.

    As for Chen Feng, that attack waspletely worthless before him. Even now, the twopletely different powers that had erupted from his eyes caused the gods to suffocate whenever they thought about them. Moreover, they also faced a certain truth: if even they, with only their small number of believers, were able to grow so rapidly, what about Chen Feng, who had a huge number of believers?

    They did not even dare to think about that. As such, not a single god was idiotic enough to try to challenge Chen Feng. This was the era of Chen Feng. His position was unshakable. Interestingly, due to Chen Feng¡¯s existence, the humans became something of a unique existence. Everyone now knew that the humans had a noble identity, and numerous life-forms opted to assimte into human society.

    This included even some of the gods. And thus, human society became an enriched and colorful society. Because of this, even Stormtech Company joined in, creating numerous wristband devices that could amodate the various life-forms and even the gods. These creations brought those country bumpkins quite the shock.

    Evidently, they had never expected that even without using godly power, information and data could be transmitted and their strength could be managed. As of this moment, the entire world had entered a phase of rapid growth. Everyone¡¯s strength was increasing rapidly. If this continued on, Chen Feng would be able to be as strong as Ye one day.

    However, would he have sufficient time to grow? In the Gic Union, Chen Feng was reading thetest report with a calm expression.

    Even though he was already a god and the Sin God¡¯s incredibly awesome-looking pce was avable to him, Chen Feng preferred staying in the human world.

    Chen Feng sighed. ¡°Is there still no news about that silhouette?¡±

    ¡°Mhm.¡± Qin Hai shrugged. ¡°He went missing after his battle with Ye. You can¡¯t find him even with your godly power of luck?¡±

    ¡°Nope.¡± Chen Feng¡¯s head ached. That fellow was too strong, to the point that even the godly power of luck didn¡¯t work. However, he wasn¡¯t exactly immune to the godly power of luck. Rather, he had used some method to put up a barrier to block it out. Chen Feng waspletely incapable of locating him. Who exactly was that fellow?

    Chen Feng was doubtful. ¡°Was there such god during the Primordial Era?¡±

    Qin Hai shrugged. ¡°What we know is that the Forest Goddess does not know him.¡±

    ¡°The Misfortune Goddess has never heard of him either.¡± Chen Feng had a solemn expression. A mysterious existence known by no one even during the Primordial Era. Who exactly was this person? He had no idea. Could that person truly be a seed left behind by the Creation God? Chen Feng hoped that this wouldn¡¯t be the case. He had no desire to see another one of his lies turn into reality.

    Suddenly, Qin Hai asked, ¡°Oh, right. Did you not say that you seemed to have forgotten about something? Might that be rted to that fellow?¡±

    Chen Feng nodded. ¡°Most definitely. Previously, I was too weak and failed to notice. Now that I have my own godly power, I can sense the existence of that power. Now, if he tries to once again erase some of my memories, I will most definitely notice it.¡±

    Chen Feng was confident.

    ¡°Mhm.¡± Qin Hai was in agreement. With Chen Feng¡¯s present identity and his incredible number of believers, the growth of his strength was shocking. At present, Chen Feng himself was already a major god. If that person tried to do something to him now, he would definitely be noticed.

    ¡°Get them to hasten the speed,¡± Chen Feng said after some thought. ¡°We must locate him as soon as possible.¡±

    ¡°Is there a need to find him this fast?¡± Qin Hai was curious. One ought to remember that the silhouette was truly quite strong. Back then, even the seriously injured Ye had been able to erupt with such terrifying strength. How about that person? In fact, finding him would not necessarily be a good thing. So what if they couldn¡¯t find him?

    He had merely hidden to lick his wounds. With the speed of Chen Feng¡¯s growth, by the time the silhouette was done recovering, perhaps Chen Feng would already be as strong as Ye? At that time, the victor of their sh would no longer be a sure thing.

    ¡°Time is advantageous for us.¡± Qin Hai was sure of this. After all, that silhouette was not one they could afford to look down on.

    ¡°I know. However, I also know how terrifying he is.¡± Chen Feng had a solemn expression. ¡°If we find him now, if I can assure mutual destruction... even my death is a price I am willing to pay. But he haspletely vanished... He is not stupid. If he truly didn¡¯t have any backup ns, he would have appeared after I defeated Ye, since I was at my weakest then. Yet he did not appear then. Even if he didn¡¯t receive the news on the day of Ye¡¯s death, he must have received the news the day after. However, he has not appeared. Day after day, I keep growing, yet he haspletely vanished. What exactly is that fellow doing? What exactly is he nning? I don¡¯t know. Nobody knows.¡±

    As Qin Hai heard all this, his expression became solemn. True... What exactly was that fellow doing?

    Chapter 802: Awaiting Your Godhood

    In outer space, that massive throne was still there, faintly discernible. Seated on the throne was the silhouette. He was presently in deep thought. Since his return from that incident, he had maintained this same expression, thinking about something unknown. This expression hadsted since the moment Ye died.

    ¡°You lose.¡± The youngdy poured a cup of coffee for him with a smile on her face.

    ¡°Is that so?¡± He sighed softly. When his gaze once againnded on that blue, Ye¡¯s aura was already nowhere to be seen. In ce was a bizarre aura that was spreading throughout the at a terrifying speed. That aura was unique to Chen Feng.

    ¡°Chen Feng...¡± the silhouette muttered. In his original n, Chen Feng should already be dead. He had nned for so long just so he could fight it out with Ye. Unexpectedly, Ye had done something unexpected; the one to ascend had been that damnable Chen Feng. Since then, his n had not progressed as he wished. Subsequently, he¡¯d had a decisive battle with Ye. Based on his n, he should have been able to kill Ye, gaining a dramatic increase in strength, at which point he would subjugate the entire world.

    However, for some reason, both he and Ye had been mutually wounded instead. That this had happened was quite odd, as Ye, whose strength had dropped greatly due to the loss of his divine seat, should not have been that powerful.

    ¡°Did I underestimate Ye?¡±

    He could not understand why he had failed to kill Ye in that battle. Nevertheless, it no longer mattered.

    ¡°Although some mishaps happened... Although this ispletely different from my n... However...¡± Suddenly, heughed. ¡°The general direction is still correct. Ye is dead and humanity is saved. Both of these are in ordance with my n. Even if Chen Feng is still alive...¡± He looked at his own body. ¡°Even if I am a little injured...¡±

    To the side, the youngdy merely nced at him and smiled.

    A little? Not quite. The injuries he had sustained from his battle with Ye were incredibly horrible.

    Suddenly, the silhouette solemnly dered, ¡°Regardless, my n will not be affected by all this.¡±

    He was extremely serious in this deration, extremely firm in his belief.

    Hehe.

    To the side, the youngdy continued smiling. She knew what his n was. Here, she had a full view of each part of his n. She also had knowledge of each of his abilities... His originally wless n had deviated thoroughly. He was merely unwilling to admit to that.

    He looked at the youngdy. ¡°I know what you want to say. However, that is not how the sess rate is calcted.¡±

    Shua!

    He waved his hand. Countless streaks of light shed past.

    His present strength, Chen Feng¡¯s present strength, the youngdy beside him, that¡¯s gods, the human believers, and his n... everything...

    Shua! Shua!

    Light flickered as everything operated as he willed. One time, two times, three times, ten times, a hundred times, on and on this continued. Ultimately, 99% hovered before him. In the past, regardless of how he had deduced his sess rate, it had remained 100%. No matter what he had done, his n would have concluded wlessly. The sole reason for that was his strength.

    Yet now, everything seemed to have changed, even though the difference was a mere 1%. So long as this probability existed, it was something that might happen. This was something he could not tolerate. As such, he had to kill Chen Feng.

    ¡°I refuse to believe this.¡±

    He stood up.

    Shua!

    He started deducing once again. This time, a new ability was used on top of his deduction.

    Hum¡ª

    A certain radiance spread out.

    Coldly, he said, ¡°Luck Aura, activate!¡±

    Bang!

    The powerful godly power of luck started operating, influencing every facet of his n.

    ¡°This time, the sess rate should be 100%, right...?¡± he softly said. s, before he could even finish his sentence, the sess rate appeared: 99%.

    Still the same rate!

    He frowned. ¡°How is this possible?¡±

    That damnable 1% was still there. Even his seemingly omnipotent godly power of luck had failed to erase that 1%.

    ¡°Why?¡±

    He had no idea. However, after giving it some deep thought, heughed. At this moment, he suddenly recalled how, when he had first threaded his cultivation path, he had dared attempt even ns with a 30% sess rate. With his boundless confidence and perseverance, he had seeded in matters with only a 30% sess rate.

    This was his confidence. And now? The sess rate was 99%. One could say that this was no different than 100%. Yet he was nowcking confidence? Why was that? Perhaps it was because it had been a while since he hadst seen a sess rate that was not 100%? It had been way too long since he had seen a different number. Therefore, he had panicked.

    In truth, his sess rate was still overwhelming even though he was presently weakened. That was because Chen Feng was too weak, as Chen Feng was nothing but amon god. Naturally, the basis for his sess was him acting when the timing is right.

    He was clear on the speed of Chen Feng¡¯s growth. To be precise, he was all too clear on the workings of the human world. The faith the humans could provide was hard to even imagine. Therefore, between his recovery and Chen Feng¡¯s growth, a bnce had to be sought. This bncing point would precisely be the time for him to finally make his move. As such, even as the entire world entered a phase of rapid growth, he merely transmitted some orders to the faction under him on that. That was all he did thus far.

    ¡°Just you see. I will seed.¡± Finally, he regained his confidence as he looked at the youngdy and dered, ¡°And you... shall be my spokesperson! You will be my emissary! Naturally, for that you must first ascend to godhood.¡±

    His original n had been to have this youngdy ascend to godhood. With the youngdy¡¯s ascension, she would serve him. With the youngdy¡¯s support, he would be a truly unparalleled existence. However, the speed of Chen Feng¡¯s growth was too fast. As such, he had to first shelve this part of his n, as there wasn¡¯t enough time for that.

    He spoke solemnly. ¡°Your body came into shape from the superposition of time. You have the potential to ascend to godhood. Moreover, your potential is a godhood that has yet to appear thus far: the Time God! Do you know that in my heart, your potential surpasses even that of the Creation God and the Sin God? Even myself? Therefore, I want you to ascend.¡±

    ¡°Is there enough time?¡± The youngdy looked at the. ¡°Chen Feng¡¯s strength is improving rapidly. Can you even wait until my ascension ispleted?¡±

    In the original n, the moment the youngdy ascended would also have been the moment he assumed control of the entire world. However, they were still a ways off from that. There was nothing they could do about this. To be the Time God, the youngdy had to contemte time itself. This was something that could not be avoided. As far as he was concerned, waiting wasn¡¯t much. He had been waiting for so many years. Two extra years of waiting was truly nothing.

    That was because even if the youngdy were not willing to ascend, her body would naturally contemte time as time passed. But now, they seemed to be somewhat hard pressed for time. Would it be fine if he waited for a year or two until the youngdy finally ascended to godhood? How strong would Chen Feng be at that time? None of them knew the answer to that question.

    Even after 12 years, the Sin God had been unable to assume full control over humans. As for Chen Feng, he truly enjoyed the faith of all of humanity. That amount of faith was an absolutely terrifying amount. Therefore, this silhouette could not afford to wait. As time passed, the sess rate would probably decrease further from the present 99%. And thus he had to make a move.

    ¡°A change in the n. I will first kill Chen Feng and ascend, then I will wait for you to ascend.¡±

    Shua!

    He stood up, seeming so very calm.

 Chapter 803 - The Missing Memory

    Chapter 803: The Missing Memory

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    In the Gic Union, Chen Feng was quietly listening to a report.

    ¡°At present, the general situation is under control. With the assistance of gods and apostles, the unique power of this era of gods has been stabilized. With the assistance of the Stormtech Company, nearly all life-forms, including gods, are now equipped with amunicator wristband. All life-forms are now under our monitoring, guaranteeing a safe society and reliable members... Of course, some gods protested this monitoring. However, we used your name to shut them up. Please take a look at this.¡±

    Shua!

    A shiny map appeared. On the map, the entire and all of the¡¯s the life-forms were shown. All the gods werebeled with unique symbols. Whether they were minor gods or major gods, all details, including their numerous apostles, resonators, and so on, werebeled on this map. This map disyed the strength level of all life-forms. Perhaps the Gic Union currentlycked formidable fighting prowess. However, they were sufficient to monitor the situation perfectly.

    ¡°This project was jointlyunched by us¡ªthe Gic Union, the Research Agency, and the Stormtech Company. We are indeed incapable of contending against the gods. However, we still need to know if they are safe for humanity or not. Naturally, to make this more eptable for them, a higher level of authorization has been granted to the wristbands they are using, helping with numerous activities such asmunication, the inte, and so on. This is it for now.¡± The Monitoring Department head finished his report.

    ¡°The next agenda is... the growth of strength.¡±

    At this time, the representative from the Gene Production Association started speaking. ¡°With the assistance of this era¡¯s unique herbs and the gods proficient with vegetation, we have made a breakthrough in our research. Gene reagent production has improved greatly. The reagents are now useful for all non-god life-forms, even including apostles. Naturally, the reagents are presently ineffective on gods. However, we are certain that along with the growth of our gene research, a day wille when we can even increase the strength of gods through reagents.¡±

    ¡°Talk less nonsense,¡± someone interrupted him.

    ¡°Fine.¡± The representative of the Gene Production Association shrugged. ¡°I shall stop talking about what we dream of aplishing for now. At present, the average strength of humanity has fully entered the resonance realm. With Chen Feng¡¯s return, humanity, which had previously averaged level 1 resonance, grew rapidly. With the assistance of gene reagents, humanity was able to speedily stabilize their strength in and charge toward a higher realm. At present, there are even some who have entered the apostle realm.

    ¡°Naturally, there are only a few who have managed to enter the apostle realm. However, based on the data, in perhaps half a month, humanity will enter a phase of rapid growth. At that time, humanity as a whole will be infinitely close to the peak of the resonance realm. If any gods help, humanity will be able to easily enter the apostle realm.¡±

    The representative of the Gene Production Association got excited as he talked about this. After all, the apostle realm was so near to godhood. Humanity had used 12 years to grow their average strength from A ss to the peak of the awakened realm. Even the Sin God hadn¡¯t had a way of increasing this speed. Yet with Chen Feng¡¯s guidance, humanity had been able to grow at an ultra-high speed.

    From the peak awakened realm to the apostle realm, only two or three months had been required. The mere thought of this was sufficient to drive one crazy. After all, the human world was in the Gic Era, and as far as all the gods were concerned, this was excellent news. Every single apostle signified growth to the gods. As for the sheer quantity of humans, the mere thought of their poption caused the gods to tremble in excitement.

    Even though 80% of humans were believers of Chen Feng, the remaining 20% was sufficient to drive the gods crazy with joy. This was the truth.

    ¡°Splendid.¡±

    Chen Feng was very satisfied with the present growth of this world. However, most of his attention was focused on a certain unique department. This was the Outer Space Department, a department formed by Chen Feng himself to search outer space for any trails or clues.

    The head of the Outer Space Department smiled bitterly. ¡°Sorry. We have gathered nothing.¡±

    What needed to be reported had long since been reported. In this period of time, no new information had been obtained.

    ¡°We have been searching all the news rted to outer space; no abnormalities have been found. We even sent some spaceships out, yet nothing out of ce has been found. Everything seems to be consistent with the reported data.¡±

    The Outer Space Department was ashamed of theirck of progress. Everyone else seemed to be reporting good news. Only his department had nothing to report.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Chen Feng wasn¡¯t surprised. After all, outer space was the domain of that silhouette...

    In any case, that fellow had influenced even a part of his memory. How was it possible for these humans to have not received something simr? Mhm... Suddenly, Chen Feng paused as he thought of this. Memory? His memory had indeed been influenced. However, after his growth in strength, that effect had seemingly weakened and he had even subsequently gotten rid of itpletely. His memory of what had happened was supposed to beplete now. And after getting rid of the influence on his memory, spaceships were still being sent to outer space without stop. So...

    ¡°Send me all of the various spacepanies¡¯ data,¡± Chen Feng said.

    ¡°All right.¡± The Outer Space Department did as they¡¯d been told.

    Shua!

    A screen shed, and Chen Feng instantly looked over. Those he clearly remembered having entered outer space were left out of this report. Not only had they vanished from the data, but they had even gone missing from the memories of these people. Why? Had all their memories been erased one by one? That did not seem likely.

    In this era, news spread at a terrifying speed. If one wanted to erase these memories one by one, it would be impossible even for a god. Therefore, there was only one possibility: the memory erasure was not used on individual memories. Rather, the erasure worked on events as a whole.

    For example, the A48 Company, which Chen Feng remembered was the finalpany to have sent a spaceship out. A48 had been an entertainmentpany, and the boss of thispany had gone to outer space in excitement with 48 girls. As for what he had been nning to do once he reached outer space, it was no longer important, as thispany had vanished from everyone¡¯s memories. Even their families forgot about the existence of this missingpany.

    The wiped memories did not pertain to only those individuals. The entirety of thatpany had been erased.

    ¡°In short, this is how thepanies that went to outer space went missing?¡± Chen Feng guessed. They had encountered that fellow after reaching outer space and been directly eliminated. This elimination was not a physical one, as all traces of their existence werepletely eliminated as well. If that was truly the case, things were exinable.

    However... Chen Feng frowned, as he kept feeling that something was wrong somewhere, though he couldn¡¯t figure out what it was.

    He had even tried searching with his Luck Aura, yet he had found nothing. This was truly quite weird. One ought to know that his Luck Aura had worked even against Ye. How could it have no effect now? Something seemed wrong. Chen Feng sank into deep contemtion.

    Tap. Tap.

    His fingers tapped on the conference table slowly. The higher-ups around the table did not dare make the slightest noise while Chen Feng was deep in thought. With his brows furrowed, Chen Feng contemted. Suddenly, he loosened his brows as he finally thought of a crucial point: influence.

    Indeed, that existence had erased all thepanies. The members of thosepany, everything that had happened in them, all of thepanies¡¯ influence on the world, and all the memories regarding them had vanished, not leaving any traces behind. However, had thispany existed? Yes. Before that existence erased them, they had indeed existed.

    Even though thispany hadpletely vanished from everyone¡¯s memories, interestingly, thepany had indeed existed once. For example, if that existence had done his magic at 12 o¡¯clock on a certain day, prior to that, thepany had indeed existed. This fact would remain even if, one second after 12 o¡¯clock, everything became nonexistent.

    ¡°I see.¡±

    Finally, Chen Feng understood. This new discovery was of utmost importance. That was because if one was truly erased, the truth would never be found. However, if this was the way their existences were being erased...

 Chapter 804 - Investigating

    Chapter 804: Investigating

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    Shua!

    Chen Feng vanished just like that, leaving behind a bunch of confused humans. On a certain mountain range, Chen Feng reappeared. The moment he appeared, he saw an odd-looking person howling at a certain mirror. ¡°Am I handsome!? You dare im that I am not handsome?¡±

    This fellow...

    Chen Feng grabbed Kong Bai.

    Chen Feng sighed. ¡°Why do you fight with a mirror every day?¡±

    Kong Bai sneered. ¡°Hmph. The moment this fellow gained consciousness, he started going online. After spending some time online, he became good at arguing, and he argues with me every single day. A day wille when I destroy him.¡±

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡±

    ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Kong Bai was curious. ¡°Are you here because you missed me?¡±

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. ¡°Piss off. I need your help with something.¡±

    ¡°My power has been sealed,¡± Kong Bai said seriously. He had truly been sealed. The reason for that was the many hurdles this world had gone through to finally reaching this peaceful era. If he were to continue transmigrating through time and ended up changing history, it might result in an effect that might transform this era or even resurrect Ye. That would be quite a disaster.

    That might very well happen. The time traveler did not even need to meet Ye face to face. A thought or an aura or Ye sensing the existence of that time traveler might result in a butterfly effect that changed the future, recing the current timeline with a new one.

    This was something Kong Bai was extremely clear about. He even wondered if everything he had done was what had caused everything that had happened. Perhaps if he hadn¡¯t been transmigrating through time, everything that had happened wouldn¡¯t have happened. For example, if they hadn¡¯t reached the Twin Horns World in the first ce, they might not have the coordinates of that world even now. As such, the subsequent incident involving Ye might never have happened.

    This was quite a fragile situation. Since the Creation God had nned everything, if Kong Bai altered history even the slightest bit, something major might result, to the extent that perhaps humans might never havee into existence in the first ce.

    Kong Bai was truly rejoicing the fact that he hadn¡¯t done much when he had transmigrated through time. Else, nobody could guess what the world would have been like they returned.

    ¡°I can¡¯t transmigrate anymore,¡± Kong Bai said with a sigh. He couldn¡¯t do it anymore, even with the assistance of luck.

    ¡°I can feel that with each transmigration, the price will grow heavier. As for the price, this world will be the one to bear it. It would still be fine if my transmigration only involved the gic era, as that era wasparatively weaker. But if it involves this new era...¡±

    Kong Bai smiled bitterly. In this unique era where gods and genes werebined, a single transmigration could result in a huge price. And if he identally changed the timeline or if he wanted to amend it... the mere thought of the price that would need to be paid caused him to tremble. This did not only apply to matters pertaining to Ye. Any part of history that was altered would be a price none of them could bear.

    ¡°In the previous Gic Era, we were able to transmigrate freely because the people of that era were too weak. Then the primordial descended, making transmigration difficult. Now, in this brand new Gods Era, any part of the transmigration process might get detected at any time. Perhaps Ye will be the one to detect it, or that existence will be the one. Or perhaps... a certain god will capture or charm me, forcing me to work for them. What would happen then? What if I am forced to transmigrate through time to change history or rescue some forbidden item or existence? I would bepletely helpless against such a thing. Therefore, I sealed off my power,¡± Kong Bai said solemnly.

    He knew what he was doing. This was a cost he had to pay. He was not the Time God, nor was he the Space God. His very act of transmigration was just a unique gic ability in the Gic Era. With such an ability, if he dared transmigrate in this era filled with gods, it would be no different than dancing on the edge of a sword. And thus, he had made the correct decision.

    Chen Feng patted his shoulder. ¡°Do you regret it?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± This was the very first time Kong Bai was so serious.

    ¡°What if you only use your ability to go and take a look?¡± Chen Feng said with a smile. ¡°Your ability is too valuable. Since it is so powerful, it induces fear among others. What if you weaken the effect? Perhaps just use it to see the past and future?¡±

    ¡°But my transmigration is random,¡± Kong Bai said with a nk expression.

    ¡°With me here, it will not be random.¡± With a smile, Chen Feng continued, ¡°Remove part of the transmigration ability to ensure that whatever is seen with this ability remains irreversible, getting rid of your ability to meddle in past or future events. Perhaps this is the true essence of your ability.¡±

    As Kong Bai heard this, his heart thumped. True. If he only observed rather than partook in events...

    Bang!

    His eyes started radiating an intense light.

    Ka!

    Instantly, a certain ability within him was destroyed beforeing together again to form a brand new ability. With this, his transmigration ability was officially gone.

    Chen Feng grumbled. ¡°So it turns out you only sealed it. You were still secretly keeping the ability?¡±

    ¡°It was a moment of indecisiveness,¡± Kong Bai said with augh. After all, this ability had been with him for too long. He had naturally been reluctant to part with it just like that. This was also why he had been rather moody the past two days. He had been incapable of making a decision. Now that Chen Feng had given him an even better option, he naturally gave up on the transmigration ability. This new ability was only a portion of what the transmigration was capable of. As such, one could say that he had effectively castrated his transmigration ability.

    ¡°So what do you want to see?¡± Kong Bai could guess Chen Feng¡¯s motive here.

    ¡°Look at the past,¡± Chen Feng said with a smile. ¡°Look at something interesting.¡±

    Kong Bai nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Shua!

    Instantly, the two entered the void of transmigration. The ability was activated. Different from the past, this time, shrouding the world they had transmigrated to was a certain duskyyer that ensured they could only observe and would not be able to meddle with the world¡¯s affairs, nor could their physical bodies truly arrive in this world. Naturally, this act of observing would not attract the attention of the various gods.

    If this were a regr transmigration... Mhm... Chen Feng was sure that the instant they arrived, Ye or that silhouette would have detected them immediately. Regardless of the past Ye or the present silhouette, both were capable of this.

    ¡°What do we need to see?¡± Kong Bai asked.

    ¡°Myself.¡± Chen Feng smiled. ¡°I am getting old. Therefore, I keep feeling nostalgic, wanting to revisit my past.¡±

    ¡°...¡± Kong Bai rolled his eyes. To hell with getting old. How old was this Chen Feng? He was only in his twenties, yet had already reached this height. Getting old? Come on, he did not even have a wife yet...

    Huh?

    As Kong Bai¡¯s thoughts reached this point...

    The scene before them changed. Next, a certain scene appeared before them. It was a scene of Chen Feng taking a stroll hand in hand with a certain girl. On his face was a faint smile, a hint of shyness, and a hint of joy.

    ¡°Huh? You actually have a girlfriend?¡± Kong Bai eximed in admiration. ¡°Awesome. When are you going to get me one?¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡± Chen Feng watched on, all smiles. ¡°I am truly curious about this as well...¡±

    Kong Bai¡¯s eyes went wide with shock. ¡°What?¡± Chen Feng was curious about this girl as well? He looked at Chen Feng¡¯s indifferent expression. Suddenly, his heart leaped. In short... Chen Feng had forgotten about this girl? Even scarier was the fact that Kong Bai himself had no recollection of this girl!

    ¡°Interesting, isn¡¯t it?¡± The smile never left Chen Feng¡¯s face. ¡°A certain influence noiselessly vanished. However, it does not matter. At present, it is slowly unfolding before our eyes. A certain thing is about to reveal itself.¡±

 Chapter 805 - The Terrifying Truth

    <h4>Chapter 805: The Terrifying Truth</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    Within the scene, the events between Chen Feng and the youngdy yed one after another. From when they first met to when they finally fell in love with each other, slowly but surely, this youngdy was imprinted upon Chen Feng¡¯s heart.

    ¡°Wang Yao...¡±

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed.

    <i>Why did the memories about you suddenly go missing? Why did you suddenly go missing? Could it be...</i>

    The feeling known as fear suddenly surfaced. Thosepanies had all died, all traces of their existence vanishing with them. What of Wang Yao?

    Kong Bai seemed to have realized something as well. ¡°Chen Feng?¡±

    Chen Feng maintained a calm expression. ¡°Continue watching.¡±

    Kong Bai nodded. ¡°All right.¡±

    Shua!

    The scene continued. The story of Chen Feng and Wang Yao continued. Both of them had their respective missions and goals. They were both sufficiently powerful, and thus, no problems ever emerged. This continued until one day when somepanies vanished. These were thepanies that had dispatched spaceships to outer space.

    It was also at that moment that the memories of the masses were influenced. Nobody else seemed to really remember the missingpanies. The only exception was Wang Yao, who remembered everything clearly.

    One, two... and slowly, more and morepanies vanished. In everyone¡¯s memories, only a couplepanies had gone missing. However, Wang Yao knew that several dozenpanies had actually gone missing. At one point, the missingpanies surpassed a hundred. And thus, she decided to investigate this abnormality.

    ¡°It is too dangerous for you to go.¡±

    ¡°I know.¡±

    ¡°Let me go with you.¡±

    ¡°No, you are still needed here. Going to outer space will take too much time.¡±

    ¡°Then get someone else to go.¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t. They will lose their memories as well.¡±

    ¡°...Fine, how about this.¡± Chen Feng decided topromise. ¡°Let me open a case with the Gic Union and deploy the strongest gic warriors to go together with you. With all of you going together, I won¡¯t worry as much.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Wang Yao agreed with his proposal even though she herself was the strongest. Finally, she departed with the squad. She had to go, as she was the only one capable of keeping her memories intact. Thus, the squad was led by Wang Yao. Chen Feng had absolute faith in her.

    He was clear that his memories regarding these events were getting blurry as well. As such, he knew that this was something that had to be investigated. However, he had never expected that after Wang Yao¡¯s departure, his memories regarding this would gradually vanish as well. Slowly, he even forgot about Wang Yao¡¯s existence.

    ...

    Chen Feng watched on silently, somewhat spellbound. Kong Bai wanted tofort him but did not know what to say.

    Shua!

    His Luck Aura operated and told Chen Feng the truth: Wang Yao was still alive. Due to that existence, his Luck Aura was incapable of determining Wang Yao¡¯s location or obtaining any specific information about her. However, Luck Aura indeed confirmed that Wang Yao was still alive. So long as she was alive, everything was fine.

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze intensified. So long as she was still alive, there was still hope.

    <i>Outer space?</i>

    His gaze shone with murderous intent as he thought of this. Everything he had, he had obtained from nothing, ultimately killing even the Sin God. Would he be afraid of this fellow? What he needed to find out now was that fellow¡¯s identity.

    Shua!

    Once again, he focused his gaze on the scene.

    ¡°Continue ying. I want to know everything,¡± Chen Feng said with a cold gaze.

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    Kong Bai was as shocked as Chen Feng by what they saw next. So it turned out that the mysterious existence had even learned to make use of thepanies and organizations of the human world to serve as his very own faction? He was too intelligent and scary. When facing the primordial existences, who would have guessed that thepanies created by humanity would be this fellow¡¯s tools? Unfortunately, they were unable to see much.

    Kong Bai shook his head. ¡°There¡¯s nothing else to see.¡± What they saw could only prove that the disappearance of the variouspanies might be rted to that existence. How were they rted was unknown.

    Chen Feng discovered an abnormality. ¡°Something seems odd.¡±

    Kong Bai frowned. ¡°I feel the same.¡± Everything seemed to be progressing too smoothly. After Wang Yao led a team to investigate, something happened. In short, this was the progression: Initially, they were of the opinion that idents were the cause of all the disappearances. As such, they went ahead to investigate. Unexpectedly, they encountered an extremely powerful existence surpassing all beings. And thus, they all perished. This seemed to be a logical progression. However, they couldn¡¯t shake off the feeling that something wasn¡¯t right.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng asked, ¡°The entire team simrly vanished abruptly, right?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Kong Bai was sure of this.

    ¡°If so... they must have used themunicator prior to disappearing, right? They would have been maintaining contact with the people of the Gic Union as well, right? Even though everyone¡¯s memories regarding them slowly vanished after they went missing, prior to that, they were absolutelymunicating with the Gic Union, right?¡±

    Slowly, Chen Feng¡¯s line of thought became clearer and clearer.

    ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Kong Bai confirmed. Outer space was too dangerous, after all. As such, they had maintainedmunication at all times with those on the. For this expedition, the Stormtech Company had even opened up a specialmunication channel for them. They had been able to broadcast their entire journey without stop. Everything should have been recorded.

    Chen Feng was extremely satisfied with this answer. ¡°Very good. I want all that data, all of it.¡±

    ¡°Understood.¡± Kong Bai understood clearly. That¡¯s right. All those people had vanished, as had all the memories about them had vanished. However, whatever had happened prior to their disappearance should still be preserved in the form of data. By investigating the data, they could very well find out what exactly Wang Yao¡¯s team had encountered before their disappearance. Perhaps they could get a glimpse of the culprit as well.

    Shua!

    The scene moved again. Rapidly, it rewound to the time before their disappearance at the Gic Union.

    ¡°Has Wang Yao¡¯s team departed?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°Has the real-time connection been established?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    With the assistance of the Stormtech Company, a perfect connection had been established that would guarantee a wless connection at all times. However, the instant Wang Yao¡¯s team left the atmosphere, themunication equipment and screens vanished.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    ¡°No idea. Seems like everything has been influenced by something...¡±

    ¡°Damn it.¡±

    ¡°Tell them to return immediately. The connection can¡¯t be maintained anymore.¡±

    ¡°We can¡¯t contact them anymore.¡±

    Everyone was going crazy. Just as they were about to send someone to bring Wang Yao¡¯s team back by force, suddenly, a boom resounded within all their minds. And then they forgot everything.

    ¡°We...¡±

    A nk expression was stered on all their faces.

    Di¡ª

    Di¡ª

    Theirmunicators buzzed, updating them of a certain catastrophic event happening somewhere that required their support.

    ¡°Quick, something happened.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    And just like that, they busied themselves with the emergency request. As for Wang Yao and herpanions, they were cleanly forgotten.

    ...

    Chen Feng and Kong Bai watched on silently. Everything seemed to be progressing logically, yet they still had an odd feeling, as if something wasn¡¯t right.

    ¡°Since everything vanished the instant they left the atmosphere, rey the scene from Wang Yao¡¯s side.¡±

    Shua!

    Kong Bai began operating his ability.

    Kong Bai frowned. ¡°Wang Yao was influenced by some unique ability. I am unable to detect her.¡±

    In fact, each time he had found Wang Yao previously, it had been through the memories of Chen Feng or others. As Wang Yao was alive, a unique power shielded her from his detection.

    ¡°In that case, detect Wang Yao¡¯s team members,¡± Chen Feng said after giving it some thought.

    ¡°All right.¡± Kong Bai tried to detect them. s... he failed. Some unique power seemed to be influencing those people, to the point that his powerful new ability and Chen Feng¡¯s Luck Aura failed to detect even Wang Yao¡¯s team members. They both exchanged nces, immediately realizing what the problem was. Those team members had been specifically shielded as well.

    ¡°Are they all still alive?¡±

    Chen Feng shook his head. ¡°Dead.¡±

    ¡°If they are already dead, why are they still being shielded? The only way this scenario can happen is if the culprit is intentionally deploying the shield,¡± Kong Bai said with a sneer.

    ¡°How about theirmunicators?¡± Chen Feng asked. As a human of the Gic Era, it was impossible for there to be no data pertaining to those people.

    ¡°Let me take a look.¡±

    Kong Bai started investigating.

    Shua!

    The scene jumped around. The data they were searching for finally appeared. s, it waspletely nk. Before and after, everything was gone.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng said, ¡°I don¡¯t enjoy this feeling. I feel like whatever we do, the opponent is always ahead of us.¡±

    ¡°I have the same feeling as well,¡± Kong Bai agreed.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng smiled. ¡°Unfortunately for him, everything is too wless.¡±

    Kong Bai smiled as well. ¡°Yeah. He cleaned up too thoroughly.¡±

    What if...

    If they hadn¡¯te back into the past to investigate this, hadn¡¯t found out about Wang Yao and her team members, hadn¡¯t found their memories, hadn¡¯t found any news or data about them, they wouldn¡¯t have noticed anything wrong. The only thing they would have felt was fear toward this unknown enemy, fear toward his prowess, which left them with no chances.

    However, this was the past, and they had arrived here via Kong Bai¡¯s ability. And yet in the past, at a point in time even before Wang Yao¡¯s team disappeared, their data was already no more. Why? What was the single inconsistency here? The answer was very simple. Someone had deleted everything about them.

    This was quite an interesting clue. Because the opponent had cleaned things up too thoroughly, he had instead revealed quite a number of things. And thus, Kong Bai was able to keep investigating until they reach the origin of all this.

    Truthfully, investigating the truth by going back in time was extremely simple. So simple that they did not even dare to believe the truth they uncovered. And when they found out the truth, all their questions were answered.

    <i>So it is actually you?</i>

    What primordial powerhouse? What god from antiquity? No, it was none of those. The mastermind, the culprit behind everything, the one plotting everything to reach this step was actually a mere human, a human everyone knew!

    The Gic Union.

    This era was rather unique. At the very least, that was the case for the majority of the people of this era. What made this era unique was the birth of a youth with astonishing talent. He was merely 14 years old yet was already beinguded as a rising star. He was the future of humanity.

    However, no one considered that this responsibility might be too heavy for the shoulders of a youth. He was only 14 years old, his prime age. He was infatuated with the young missy that sold flowers. Her smile looked exceptionally good, like that of a fairy that had descended upon the mortal realm. This beautiful smile was carved deeply in the dreamlike part of the youth¡¯s memories.

    On a certain day, the youth finally gathered enough courage to go to the little missy. ¡°Missy, I want a flower.¡±

    The young missy smiled an extremely captivating smile. ¡°Little Yuan is here? Tell me, which little girl do you fancy?¡± She naturally knew who this youth was. He was the proud chosen of the Gic Union, which was just opposite where she sold her flowers. He was the pride of humanity, a child well liked.

    ¡°I... I want a flower,¡± Little Yuan repeated, his face flushed red.

    ¡°Okay, okay.¡± The young missy picked the prettiest of the flowers she had. ¡°Here, you can have it for free.¡±

    Little Yuan shook his head. ¡°No, that won¡¯t do. I must pay for this.¡±

    He settled the bill solemnly, as if they wereplete strangers.

    ¡°Oh.¡± The young missy appeared somewhat disappointed. ¡°Ten yuan.¡±

    ¡°Mhm.¡± Little Yuan paid. Next, after a slight pause, he passed the flower to the young missy with his face flushed red. ¡°I... My gift to you.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡±

    The young missy nked as she looked at the blushing youth with a serious expression before her. Suddenly, sheughed. This was a very happyugh, as if this was the finest moment of her entire life. Next, things seemed to progress smoothly, the way such things should.

    Every single day, Little Yuan visited the young missy. He became stronger and stronger, his confidence growing by the day, and his looks improved as well. On the various news channels, his news would not stop being reported. He was given numerous titles, such as Rising Star, Future¡¯s Seed, Legendary King, and so on. In fact, he had long be numb to all these.

    From his birth, nobody had been capable ofpeting against him. Everyone else was too weak, or he was too strong. He had seemingly entered the elitist circle of humanity with a single step. As for those about as strong as him, they were all of the senior generation, much older than even his father.

    As such, he was confident that there was nothing he couldn¡¯t do. Naturally, he was also extremely intelligent. He was aware that the source of everything he possessed was his strength. As such, he was extremely serious; he never stopped cultivating. Even though he spent time going out on dates with the young missy every single day, he never neglected his cultivation.

    In fact, this young missy had served as motivation, making him even stronger. He knew that in order to protect this young missy, he would have to forever remain at the top. He could not allow anyone to surpass him.

    Years passed, and he was now a legend. Even those seniors 20 or 30 years older than him were officially defeated by him, making him the undisputed number one youth of this era. At that time, he was only 16 years old. At that moment, he faithfully believed that nothing was impossible for him. This faithsted until a certain day. On that day, his family suddenly told him that it was time for him to get engaged. His bride-to-be was a person with a simrly powerful background. She was the youngdy of a certain family. Only this would allow the youth to reach even higher heights.

    ¡°Why?¡± He could not ept such an arranged marriage.

    ¡°You are the future of humanity...¡± his father calmly exined. ¡°You have enjoyed a huge amount of the resources humanity has to offer. It is only natural that there will be a price for that. In the past, you were still young. As such, we did not get involved in your rtionships. But now that you have grown, you should start taking note of your rtionships.¡±

    He knew what his father was getting at. That young missy... He probably wouldn¡¯t be able to see her much in the future.

    ¡°Why?¡± He still couldn¡¯t ept this.

    ¡°You are extremely talented. However, I am sorry to say that our family is too weak.¡± His father sighed. ¡°As such, if you want to be the master of humanity, if you want to be the president of the Gic Union, you have to establish an alliance with that family. Only with their assistance will you have any hope of achieving all this. Otherwise, you might be suppressed by those at the top.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t care!¡± The youth was filled with confidence. ¡°Give me 10 years. I will surpass every living human in existence.¡±

    His father sighed. ¡°You won¡¯t have those 10 years. This is not an easy path. Don¡¯t you enjoy watching TV series with ancient settings? Do you not feel like this path is quite simr to the fights over the emperor¡¯s throne depicted in those TV series?¡±

    These words resounded heavily in the youth¡¯s mind. Fight over the throne... True. This was the Gic Union they were talking about. This organization surpassed allpanies, organizations, factions, and families. Would the presidency of such an organization be something nobody would covet? Would everyone give way and allow him to step on the throne just because of his talent?

    Evidently, that would not happen. This path would be drenched in blood. From the day the youth first exhibited his talent to the world, he no longer a way out of this fight.

    ¡°I know you like that young missy. It doesn¡¯t matter. In fact, we have always known of your rtionship with her. None of us will stop you. You will be too strong in the future. As such, nobody is willing to offend you just for this. However, we hope you can somewhat control yourself. Two years will be sufficient. In the future, when you finally be the master of the Gic Union, you can take her as your wife if you wish to. Nobody will be able to stop you. At that time, you will finally be able to protect her properly. Otherwise, do you think that your opponents on this bloody path will let her off easily?¡±

    His father spoke earnestly. That night, his father told him many things. About women, about maturity, about the future, and about responsibility. Ultimately, the youthpromised. He epted the best choice his father had made for him. He also told the young missy this. They broke up.

    With an exceptionally calm expression, the young missy walked away. The youth told her that the day woulde when he married her. He would most definitely reach a higher height, a height such that nobody could stop what he wanted to do. After reaching that height, he would return to take her as his wife.

    The young missy merely smiled in response, not saying anything. This one smile caused panic to surface in the youth¡¯s heart. On the next day, the youth received a certain piece of news. That young missy, who had always seemed to have a smile on her face, hadmitted suicide in her own house. The youth went crazy when he heard this.

    He tried to rush out of his house like a madman. However, he was stopped by his family members. This resulted in him failing to even see her onest time. Subsequently, she was cremated. The young missy, akin to a blooming flower, had now turned to dust. The youth realized that he had made the wrong choice. He had no interest in bing the president. He had no interest in surpassing all of humanity. He only wanted to see her.

    ¡°You can¡¯t go. You are the legend of humanity. You are the future of our family. Everyone is paying attention to you, waiting for you to do something wrong. By going to her, you will ruin your own future. Therefore, you can¡¯t go.¡±

    Everyone tried to stop him. Everyone wanted the best for him. And thus, he did something that shocked everyone: he crippled himself.

    That¡¯s right. He crippled all his power. This rmed everyone. And thus, he left his house. Nobody bothered to stop him now, there was no longer any need to do so. Staggering along, he ran over to her. The only thing he could see was a grave, and on the gravestone was a crude ck-and-white photograph of the young missy with her signature sweet smile.

    <i>Sorry...</i>

    He knelt in front of the grave for a very long time. Nobody cared about him. Nobody bothered him. Even his rivals stopped disturbing him, as he was no longer worth their time. He was now nothing but a cripple.

    Near the grave, he erected a hut. He resided there, apanied by wind and rain. He had every intention to spend his remaining life there. This lifested until a certain day when he heard of something. Something he wasn¡¯t supposed to know about.

    Perhaps this was something his ex-rivals intentionally leaked to him. Or perhaps it had been leaked to him for some other reason. This thing he should never have known about was regarding the death of that young missy. Her death might have been rted to some people.

    They had not harmed her in any way. They had merely sought her out and talked to her. The content of their conversation was unknown. However, after the conversation, the young missymitted suicide. This was obviously something that his family members, who had always been monitoring that young missy, should have noticed. And yet... why hadn¡¯t they done anything about it?

    The youthughed suddenly. He knew that even though his family had always disliked that young missy, they nevertheless would not have done anything to her. However, if an enemy was making a move on her, there wouldn¡¯t have been any need for them to rescue her, right?

    So... this was the truth. His family, the alliance, and his rivals...

    Those big shots, those important figures, had forced an innocent youngdy to her death. Oh, right, he was partly responsible for her death as well. That night, the youthughed alone for a long time. He also cried alone for a long time. Finally, he left the hut.

    ...

    ¡°All right, this is where the story ends,¡± an old man told the children before him.¡±

    ¡°What happened next?¡± a young girl asked, tears welling in her eyes.

    ¡°Next?¡± The old man¡¯s gaze became filled with reverence. ¡°He started his path of cultivation once again. However, since he had once crippled himself, he was extremely weak. His strength was weak, as were his fused abilities were weak. However, none of it mattered. A genius is still a genius. He ultimately established the greatestpany in this world. Even though he is not the Gic Union president, he is still an extremely grand existence.¡±

    ¡°Wow.¡±

    ¡°The greatestpany? Have we heard of thispany?¡± the girls asked in excitement.

    ¡°Of course.¡± The old man pointed at the devices on their wrists. ¡°Turn it around.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡±

    The girls turned their wristbands over curiously. With astonishment, they found that no matter what edition of the wristband they wore, several metallic words were carved there: Stormtech ¨C Luo Yuan.

    ¡°So he is actually...¡±

    The young girls were all rmed. Luo Yuan! So that legendary youth was actually Luo Yuan?

    ¡°How... about that young missy? Is this over for her just like that?¡± someone asked, somewhat unwilling to ept the young missy¡¯s fate. Even the Luo Family had benefited from the rise of Luo Yuan in the end. That young missy had been the only sacrifice. Was this even right?

    ¡°Of course not.¡± The old man smiled. ¡°He told me that the day wille that he returns.¡±

    A girl sighed. ¡°Returns? It is already the era of the gods. Even if he returns, will he amount to anything?¡±

    ¡°Yes, he will.¡± The old man gazed up at the sky. There, a meteor seemed to be streaking past.

    ¡°He will return. After all... he is a legend,¡± the old man muttered. Suddenly, the wristbands buzzed.

    Everyone looked at their wristbands. Even those not wearing their wristbands rushed to put their wristbands on, curious to know what was going on. On the screen, only a short sentence could be seen.

    ¡°I am back ¨C Luo Yuan.¡±

    What did this mean? Everyone nked. And yet, right at this instant, everyone¡¯s wrist started to hurt.

    Pu!

    A certain power seemed to have instantly permeated into all the wearer¡¯s bodies. With this, the wristbands that one could take off at any time were locked to the wearers¡¯ bodies. Nobody could take their wristbands off. Now, the wristband was part of their body.

    Bang!

    In the sky, that shiny meteor suddenly intensified and became clear for all to see. It turned out to be a silhouette. A silhouette that those of the elder generation were iparably familiar with. It was him. Countless people were rmed. They thought of something and wanted to stand up. s, it was at this instant that an immense power surged out of their wrists. At this instant, the numerous life-forms all knelt down at the same time, as if they were weing his return with reverence. In the sky, that ¡°meteor¡± appeared iparably resplendent.

    ¡°You have returned,¡± the old man said, fanatical devotion clear in his eyes. He was clear that this was the moment, the return of a king.

 Chapter 807 - What Exactly Are You Trying to Do?

    <h4>Chapter 807: What Exactly Are You Trying to Do?</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    In the human world, the various gods were looking up at the sky. When that streak first shed past, they merely looked over purely due to curiosity. Only when they felt the paining from their wrists did they be aware of what was going on.

    ¡°Damn it.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t move my hand anymore.¡±

    ¡°Thismunicator seems to have buried itself in my hand.¡±

    The gods were rmed. With shock, they found that even gods could not avoid this. Something had entered their bodies from themunicator and was spreading toward the internals of their body, controlling them.

    Plop.

    The spread continued until, ultimately, all of them were kneeling on the ground, weing the arrival of that streak.

    ¡°Something is off about thismunicator...¡±

    ¡°We are all under control now.¡±

    ¡°Hateful.¡±

    The gods were furious. They had merely been curious about themunicators and thus had used them. Unexpectedly, themunicators were now their greatest weakness.

    Pu!

    Some were extremely decisive, chopping their limbs off without hesitation before that power could spread. They would rather expend some energy to reconstruct their body than be controlled.

    Shua! Shua!

    Quite a number of gods did the same thing. Some of them hesitated somewhat, but during that short moment of hesitation, their bodiespletely fell under the devices¡¯ control. When they finally decided to chop their limbs off, they couldn¡¯t do it anymore. A certain power was seemingly preventing them from doing so. This power had originated from themunicators.

    ¡°Ah ah ah ah...¡±

    ¡°What exactly is this thing?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±

    ¡°Damn it. Such a power actually exists?¡±

    They were all fearful and angry at the same time. Nobody was sure if such a controlling power existed for real. Even if it existed, it should be filled with weaknesses. The stronger the controlling power, the greater the limitations should be. Unfortunately, they had voluntarily delivered themselves to the devices.

    ¡°How could we have been so stupid?¡±

    They looked at the wristbands they were wearing and could only smile bitterly. If they had known this earlier, they would never touch the humans¡¯municators. However, who could have guessed that this would happen?

    Not only the almighty gods. The ancients and various other races with intelligence were using variations of the wristbandmunicator as well.

    These wristbands were all custom-made for them by the Stormtech Company. After Ye¡¯s death, the entire world had entered a period of peace. As such, nearly all life-forms were now equipped with their ownmunicator wristbands. And now, nearly all of the life-forms here were kneeling down.

    This was kneeling in the truest sense, the type of kneel signifying the greatest submission. One could kneel down voluntarily or one could be forced by themunicator to kneel. Either way, it no longer mattered. Unlike the various life-forms that were all fearful, most of the humans were more confused than afraid. What exactly was going on?

    Stormtech Company was a name nearly every human knew. Whenever there was a disaster, thispany would be the first to appear to provide aid. As such, this was thepany with the greatest reputation among humans. This was also the undisputed number-one technologypany in the world.

    And thus, the Gic Union had orded them the highest authority, and the Research Agency had supplied them with the greatest amount of resources. They had agreed tacitly that the Stormtech Company would be the next greatest faction of this world after them.

    Thispany that had always been low profile, that had always treated everyone with sincerity, was liked by all. Themunicator wristbands created by them had also benefited all of humanity.

    And yet the wristbands were in fact a trap? How was this possible? When they had felt the paining from their wrists, a vast majority of humans had assumed that it was merely some bug. They had merely thought that they should get a recement from Stormtech Co.

    This hadsted until they saw everyone else around them kneeling on the ground as well. Only then did they realized that something had happened. This was especially true when they received the ¡°I have returned¡± message on their wristbands. Luo Yuan? Some humans who recalled what had happened in the past were now filled with fear. Could it be that he had not yet forgotten that incident?

    Swish!

    The radiance surrounding the silhouette intensified. Every life-form raised their head, awaiting the arrival of that silhouette.

    At this moment, when that immense silhouette entered the atmosphere and started his descent, his figure became clear. He was precisely Luo Yuan.

    ¡°I am back,¡± he faintly said. With themunicator, this sentence was spread worldwide. Everyone¡¯s heart throbbed. It was him, truly him!

    ¡°It¡¯s actually him.¡±

    The gods were all rmed. They all recognized this person. It wasn¡¯t that they recognized Luo Yuan. Rather, the aura of the silhouette from before was exactly the same as the aura this person was radiating. This was the aura of the person who had fought Ye to the point that both were gravely injured, the guy that had supposedly been left behind by the Creation God?

    ¡°Who exactly are you?¡±

    ¡°You are not the bright silhouette. The Creation God would not allow his subordinate to do something like this.¡±

    The various gods were fearful.

    ¡°Haha.¡± Luo Yuanughed heartily. ¡°Gods? Mere jokes.¡±

    Shua!

    He raised his hand. Instantly, the few gods that had questioned him crumbled apart. A force of immense power seemed to have emerged from within their bodies, instantly enveloping the entirety of their bodies and destroying them. For a moment, every life-form was in a daze.

    What he had just killed so easily with a casual wave of his hand were gods. How was that possible? The various gods were utterly shocked. It was at this moment that they realized how scary the wristbands stuck on them were. At the thought of this, their hearts felt heavy, filled with regret. If they had known this earlier, they would have severed their limbs and fled without hesitation.

    s, it was toote. The gods were forced to submit. As for the various races, they were forced to submit as well. If even gods had submitted, what option did they have? And yet, it was at this moment that a roar sounded.

    An angry howl sounded from afar. ¡°Luo Yuan!¡±

    Luo Yuan looked over.

    At this time, those that dared to howl at him would only be humans.

    ¡°What exactly are you trying to do?¡± This was what the Gic Union president asked.

    ¡°Have you gone mad?¡± This was Research Agency chairman¡¯s question.

    ¡°Do you want me to kneel as well?¡± This was Luo Yuan¡¯s father.

    ¡°I once told you.¡± The Gic Union president looked at Luo Yuan and said, ¡°I am not interested in the presidency. If you want it, you can have it at any time. You rejected my offer, yet now youe and do something like this. What exactly are you trying to do?¡±

    He truly could not understand. Revenge? How? Destroying all of humanity? The president truly could not understand. Rather interestingly, back then in the old era, when the Gic Era was still the strongest organization, he had obtained his position as the president for free. The various geniuses such as Luo Yuan and others had fought each other for it. Ultimately, some had died, some had been injured, and some had withdrawn. And just like that, this president had obtained the seat for no apparent reason. In fact, he had never had any interest whatsoever in the seat.

 Chapter 808 - Your Worldview Is Too Narrow

    <h4>Chapter 808: Your Worldview Is Too Narrow</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    The Research Agency chairman sighed. ¡°The things that happened back then are already in the past. Those who erred have received their punishment. As for that person, he is long dead. What else do you want to do?¡± What happened back then was the tragedy of the era. A lot of people had erred. Subsequently, those people had paid a disastrous price. Luo Yuan had not even needed to do anything himself. Once he grew to an rming height, the respective families of those culprits took the initiative to seize those people and drag them to Luo Yuan, forcing them to kneel before him and ask for forgiveness. They had dered that they would deal with those people.

    Most of them were crippled, truly crippled. Since the young missy was dead and Luo Yuan had been crippled once, if they wanted to stay alive, they at the very least had to cripple everything they were capable of. And thus, that incident hade to an end with the elders forcing those people to cripple themselves.

    Luo Yuan had agreed to that, and with a gentle smile on his face, he had watched on as those people crippled themselves. With that, the incident had been considered over and done with. s, nobody had expected Luo Yuan to actually have such ambition. In the wristbands he had created, he had left behind something terrifying. When the time was finally ripe, that thing had erupted and controlled everyone, including the world.

    Why? What exactly was he trying to do? Nobody knew the answer. Was he making everyone kneel before him just for revenge?

    Luo Yuan¡¯s father looked at Luo Yuan coldly. ¡°Do you want me to kneel to you as well?¡±

    It was natural that his wristband hadn¡¯t forced him to kneel. He did not care if all of humanity was threatened by Luo Yuan. He did not care if the gods were threatened by Luo Yuan. What angered him was the fact that something had appeared from his wristband and entered his body as well. His son was trying to gain control over his body as well?

    This was not something he could put up with. His son was trying to control even him! The neers all rebuked Luo Yuan in anger.

    The higher-ups of humanity were filled with anger. Evidently, they had never expected that after surviving the descent of the primordial and the awakening of the gods, they would now suffer under the hands of a fellow human. Howmentable. How hateful.

    ¡°Luo Yuan, give me an exnation.¡±

    ¡°What exactly do you want?¡±

    ¡°Do you truly feel so happy to have the world revolve around you?¡±

    Numerous questions were being pushed forth. Luo Yuan maintained his silence. As for the various gods witnessing this scene, they were iparably rmed. Heavens, these humans dared to talk to him in such a manner? One ought to know that this person had been able to fight Ye to a standstill. The various gods remained kneeling, not daring to stand up. They could clearly feel a sense of anger bubbling up within Luo Yuan¡¯s body. That terrifying aura was now on the verge of exploding.

    ...

    ¡°Enough!¡± Luo Yuan bellowed.

    Plop! Plop!

    One by one, the people questioning him knelt down.

    Some of them howled in anger.

    ¡°Luo Yuan, you dare?¡±

    ¡°How audacious!¡±

    ¡°I am your third uncle!¡±

    ¡°Without me, could your Stormtech Company have reached this height?¡±

    ¡°We should have eliminated you back then. What a thankless wretch.¡±

    ¡°Piss off!¡± said Luo Yuan, his eyes gleaming coldly.

    Shua!

    He clenched his right fist. A terrifying power bloomed suddenly, and the old men shouting at him were instantly decimated, turning into dust, dying in body and soul.

    Shua!

    The entire worldpsed into silence. A lot of them still had their mouths opened, ready to shout at Luo Yuan. Yet now, all of them stopped, covered in cold sweat. Looking at the ashen-faced Luo Yuan, they had finally realized that at present, their lives were within Luo Yuan¡¯s grasp. Those that resisted him would surely die.

    ¡°You...¡±

    A lot of people trembled, unable to find anything to say. Should they continue scolding him? They did not wish to die. Right now, Luo Yuan did not seem like he would listen to reason.

    Suddenly, Luo Yuan spoke. ¡°It¡¯s still the same.¡± Heughed a rather sinisterugh. ¡°Exactly the same as back then. Back then, when forcing me to give up on her, this is how you people behaved. For my well being, for the future, for humanity...¡±

    Luo Yuanughed. ¡°You people alwayse up with numerous reasons to give me, yet none of you have ever mentioned that what you people truly care about, what you guys want me to do is precisely for your own well-being as well...¡±

    ¡°Hasn¡¯t that incident been put to an end already?¡± someone asked with a sighed.

    ¡°Has it ended?¡± Luo Yuan found this funny. He spoke coldly. ¡°When Stormtech Company matured, you people finally came to apologize. You made my rivals back in the day cripple themselves. Did you guys seriously believe that this could be considered an apology?¡±

    One of the old men could not understand. ¡°You yourself chose to forgive them back then. If you hadn¡¯t actually forgiven them, why didn¡¯t you kill them back then?¡± Back then when they dragged those people to Luo Yuan, they had been prepared for those people to die. However, Luo Yuan had not killed anyone. He had merely forgiven everyone with a smile on his face. Yet now he had reneged on his words?

    Luo Yuan stared straight at them. ¡°That is precisely the mostmentable part. Do you people know what was I reminded of when I saw the unyielding gazes of those forced to apologize to me?¡±

    Everyone maintained their silence, not daring to answer.

    ¡°They reminded me of myself.¡± Luo Yuan gazed at the starry sky. ¡°We... were geniuses. Even though they were weaker than me, they were nevertheless still geniuses. s, people like us, our lives could never belong to us. We were nothing but puppets, puppets controlled by you old bastards. This applied to me as well as them. In fact, in the incident back then, they were not truly guilty. After all, everything we young geniuses did was under the guidance of you old geezers. What kind of authority did any of us have at that time? Thus, I never hated them. The ones I hate are you people... and the system of human society as a whole!¡±

    At this point, his gaze was filled with killing intent. Those people allpsed into silence. So it turned out that the ones he hated were actually them? They shut their eyes, wondering if what they had done was indeed wrong.

    ¡°Do what you need to do, then.¡± One of them looked straight at Luo Yuan and said, ¡°Since the system is what you hate, do it. There are way too many families and ns that have grown over the ages to an immense size. Only bypletely destroying everything will this system truly copse.¡±

    He was already prepared to die. He was of the opinion that since Luo Yuan was still angry, it would be fine if they allowed him to vent his anger. However, to his surprise, Luo Yuan merelyughed.

    ¡°Did you know? The era has changed. If this were still the Gic Era, I would truly do that. Unfortunately, this is now the Gods¡¯ Era.¡± A bizarre radiance shed in Luo Yuan¡¯s eyes as he uttered these words.

    This was the era of the gods, an era filled with numerous wonders and miracles. Impossible tasks were now possible. His initial n had indeed been to copse the entire system, turning the entire world upside down. However, when his understanding of the world grew, when he found out about the Primordial Era, when he gained understanding of the era of the gods, he had started studying the so-called miracles, even though these miracles had always remained legends.

    As he studied, his n had slowly changed. Now, his n was on the verge ofpletion.

    Chapter 809: The Era of Luo Yuan

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    ¡°You want to resurrect her?¡± Luo Yuan¡¯s father asked. Perhaps, as Luo Yuan¡¯s father, he understood his son the most. There was a saying that one¡¯s first love would always be their most beautiful memory. However, when one caused one¡¯s first love to die, that was unforgettable. His son had always kept that event dearly in his heart.

    Resurrect a human? The gods exchanged nces when they heard this. For gods, resurrection was extremely normal. They were too powerful, to the point they couldn¡¯t be killed. At most, they would fall into a deep slumber and awaken¡ªone could say ¡°resurrect¡±¡ªsometime in the future. As such, they were very familiar with resurrection.

    As for humans? Resurrection did not seem too possible. If the human had died recently, perhaps they might be able to save her or something. But a human that had died way back then, before the descent of the primordial, during the early Gic Era? That... was too far in the past. That human had long since thoroughly died.

    Even with their mighty godly power, they would not be able to resurrect her. Oh, yeah, some people had time-traveling abilities. Perhaps if one traveled back to the past to rescue that young missy...

    However, if that truly happened, how would the future, the present timeline, be affected? If that young missy had been rescued, the Luo Yuan from back then probably wouldn¡¯t have crippled himself. The Stormtech Company that he had subsequently created probably wouldn¡¯t havee into being. Would that Luo Yuan still have the undying will he had disyed?

    This was a question nobody could answer. What about Ye? Returning to the past, back before Ye¡¯s death...

    At present, Ye was indeed thoroughly dead. However, if one dared to travel through time as one wished and Ye somehow discovered the truth... It was quite terrifying to think about what he would do. That fellow¡¯s strength... If they met once again, perhaps even Luo Yuan himself would not haveplete confidence in surviving his onught. And if one was unlucky enough to directly encounter the Ye of the past, they would probably directly die. As such, did he truly intend to rescue that young missy from the past? Everyone looked at Luo Yuan.

    Luo Yuan shook his head calmly. ¡°No. Why would there be a need to rescue her? She does not belong to this era. All paths to the past have been sealed by me. It is no longer possible. From today onward, in this world, transmigration and time travel are impossible,¡± Luo Yuan coldly concluded, ¡°regardless of the past or the future.¡±

    ¡°Then what do you want?¡± Luo Yuan¡¯s father asked in a daze. He was of the belief that he knew his son well. Over the years, Luo Yuan had constantly been woken up by nightmares. Hadn¡¯t each of his nightmares been about that young missy?

    Had he not always wanted to return to that era, to once again return to the side of that young missy and make a different choice? Why... would he lock down all paths of time travel?

    ¡°Your insight is too narrow,¡± Luo Yuan said calmly. How could these idiots ever hope to understand his n? He, Luo Yuan, had fought his entire life. Could it be merely to relive history? To return to that era he both loved and hated? How ridiculous.

    ¡°I am Luo Yuan,¡± he muttered.

    Shua!

    He stood up, surrounded by boundless power. He stared into the distance. There, a certain god was standing and observing the happenings here. Yes, he was standing there rather than kneeling. This was one of the gods that had avoided his control by severing his own limb. However, he hadn¡¯t left. Rather, he had stayed behind hoping to know the truth. Only when Luo Yuan¡¯s gazended on him did his entire body turn cold.

    Luo Yuan smiled. ¡°You should have left.¡±

    Shua!

    That god¡¯s face fell. He immediately turned around to flee. s, it was toote.

    Pu!

    Luo Yuan flickered and reappeared behind that god. Next, blood sttered everywhere. That god couldn¡¯t even react before he died. Everyone went cold as they saw this scene. So was this Luo Yuan¡¯s true strength?

    Bang!

    After killing the god, Luo Yuan formally ascended to godhood. And thus, his already powerful strength went through another transformation.

    Luo Yuan spoke softly. ¡°Submit to me. You all, are after, my people.¡± His faint voice was transmitted worldwide through the wristbandmunicators. Nearly every life-form heard his words.

    Plop.

    More people knelt down on the ground, including Luo Yuan¡¯s father. That voice seemed to be filled with a certain sense of majesty, a certain sense of awe that left nobody daring enough to not submit. At the instant those people knelt down, a boundless power of faith surged out. Instantly, the numerous life-forms of the world became the believers of Luo Yuan and Luo Yuan alone.

    Bang! Bang!

    Boundless faith surged out. Under the control of the wristbands, these people did not have a choice.

    Even the believers of the other gods switched their belief. However, those gods could only smile bitterly. They couldn¡¯t say anything, as even they themselves had submitted to Luo Yuan. At this instant, numerous life-forms submitted to Luo Yuan. His majesty stretched out, enveloping the entire world. This newly awakened world had instantly entered the era of Luo Yuan after experiencing the eras of Ye and Chen Feng.

    Now, this was Luo Yuan¡¯s world, Luo Yuan¡¯s era.

    Bang! Bang!

    He enjoyed the surging faith. The god had he killed earlier had just been a minor god. However, in a short period of time, he reached the elementary stage, then the journeyman stage, and he was still growing. After all, the amount of faith he was gathering now was terrifying. He was gathering even more faith than Chen Feng had back then.

    Luo Yuan¡¯s father sighed. ¡°I should have listened to him.¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡± Some members of the senior generation shook their heads. ¡°We made the wrong choice back then... and now we are again making the wrong choice.¡±

    ¡°Do we even have a choice now?¡± a particrly powerful old man said with a bitter smile.

    A sigh resounded. ¡°Well, we can only atone for our crimes now...¡±

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Astonishing everyone, the few people that had been conversing suddenly exploded, their blood sttering everywhere.

    Everyone¡¯s eyes widened. This... Luo Yuan was killing again! This was too excessive! Even scarier was the fact that even his father was among those killed.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    Some were furious. They hadpromised, so why was Luo Yuan still killing? Could it be that he wouldn¡¯t let even those who had submitted to him off? If so, what was the point of submitting? And yet when they looked over at Luo Yuan, they saw that Luo Yuan was dumbstruck as well. He was drenched wet with blood, yet he stood there unmoving.

    He stared at the dead in a daze and suddenlyshed out in anger. ¡°I already have control of you all, yet you are still capable of suicide? Who gave you guys the courage tomit suicide?¡±

    He dared not believe this. Under the control of the wristbands, they shouldn¡¯t even be able to control their own bodies. How did theymit suicide? This should only be possible if they had prepared well in advance. They had long guessed that this would happen. And thus, something had been done in their bodies. They had been waiting for this single opportunity to die.

    However, how was that supposed to be possible? He had never allowed his n to be leaked...

    Hold on.

    Suddenly, Luo Yuan realized something. He looked at the various gods, the various races, and finally the humans before asking, ¡°Has anyone seen Chen Feng?¡±

    No response came. Not only Chen Feng, even Chen Feng¡¯spanions had all suddenly gone missing as well.

 Chapter 810 - Itâ€™s Like You Are Joking with Me

    Chapter 810: It¡¯s Like You Are Joking with Me

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    So it¡¯s you guys!

    Luo Yuan¡¯s killing intent surged. As of quite a while ago, his control over Chen Feng hadn¡¯t existed. Since that certain day when Chen Feng¡¯s wristbandmunicator broke down for no apparent reason, Chen Feng had stopped using a wristbandmunicator. Luo Yuan had once suspected that Chen Feng had found out about his n, yet Chen Feng had obviously not figured anything out.

    Luo Yuan was extremely certain of this. At that time, Chen Feng had yet to even notice his existence. Luo Yuan had spent quite a while observing Chen Feng and had confirmed with his Luck Aura that Chen Feng had indeed not noticed anything. Slowly, Luo Yuan had forgotten about this. Unexpectedly... it had nowe back to haunt him.

    ¡°Chen Feng...¡± Luo Yuan muttered. Suddenly, his heart throbbed as he thought of something. His senses instantly spread out, searching for some people. Not a single one of them could be found. Kong Bai, Qin Hai, Wu Hui, these people that should have existed within hiswork of senses had all vanished.

    Luo Yuan¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. ¡°They were all clearly within my senses in the past...¡± Evidently, the moment he had descended from the sky, those people had removed their wristbands. This was what one would call a variable.

    ¡°So this is the so-called 1% chance of failure?¡± Luo Yuanughed. He had initially still been somewhat worried about this 1%. But now that he had figured out that the 1% was these fellows, heughed. How ridiculous.

    Chen Feng, if you think these fellows are sufficient to contend against me, you are gravely mistaken.

    ...

    In a certain mountain range, Chen Feng¡¯s group was watching as everything unfolded.

    ¡°Indeed...¡± Kong Bai said, fear still lingering within his heart. After he and Chen Feng had been able to roughly guess the truth, they had immediately notified their friends. However, due to the problem being the wristbands themselves, they¡¯d had to contact their friends manually. If they had still used the wristbands even after figuring out the truth, they would be true idiots.

    Unfortunately, they had only been able to notify a small number of people before this happened. Luo Yuan had appeared too speedily.

    ¡°This moment he chose to appear is too convenient...¡± Chen Feng had an odd feeling. When he was using Luck Aura, he would also make his move at the most opportune moment. Now, it seemed like he wasn¡¯t quite capable of choosing the most opportune moment anymore.

    ¡°I sensed a simr power in Luo Yuan,¡± Spirit said. ¡°That¡¯s why your power and Luo Yuan¡¯s power have counteracted each other.¡±

    ¡°You are saying that Luo Yuan is also capable of calcting the most opportune moment to act?¡± Chen Feng said with a pensive look.

    ¡°Mhm.¡± Spirit was certain. ¡°The only thing I don¡¯t know is exactly what power he is using to do this.¡±

    So that was the case. Chen Feng finally understood. He did not quite care that they counteracted each other. After all, in Luo Yuan¡¯s n, choosing an opportune moment was much more important for him than Chen Feng. With their powers counteracting each other, Luo Yuan probably wasn¡¯t feeling very good now. Or perhaps he was of the impression that this was indeed the opportune moment?

    If so... this would be quite the opportunity. Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed. Without a doubt, Luo Yuan¡¯s strength would grow dramatically very soon. Chen Feng, who had personally experienced the same thing, understood clearly that after gathering more believers than him, Luo Yuan¡¯s speed of growth would be even scarier.

    And thus, this would be the most opportune moment to fight Luo Yuan. Luo Yuan had yet to fully recover from his fight with Ye. As for his godhood, it did not matter. After all, people like them were too powerful, to the extent that the power they gained shortly after godhood wasn¡¯t much at all. As such, even after godhood, Luo Yuan wouldn¡¯t benefit much. The best benefit of faith was the speed of growth rather than the immediatebat prowess.

    ¡°His growth will be scarier and scarier. Now is the moment when he is at his weakest,¡± Chen Feng said solemnly.

    ¡°Understood.¡± Kong Bai focused his gaze. They all knew that if they wanted to defeat Luo Yuan, this would be their best shot.

    ¡°Let¡¯s do it, then,¡± Qin Hai said without hesitation.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    They approached Luo Yuan¡¯s location silently. At this time, Luo Yuan seemed to be calcting something. Suddenly, a faint shadow appeared from the foot of the mountain.

    Luo Yuan was the first to notice it. ¡°Mhm?¡±

    ¡°Shadow?¡±

    ¡°This familiar appearance...¡±

    The various gods recognized this shadow the moment it appeared.

    ¡°Heavens, this is the dark shadow left behind by the Creation God.¡±

    They had themselves witnessed the fight between this shadow and Ye. Although the shadow seemed to have died quickly, it was now clear that the shadow had been resurrected.

    ¡°Although the shadow is weak, he seems capable of rebirth.¡±

    ¡°This is eptable. There ought to be such a bnce.¡±

    ¡°However, the bright silhouette¡¯s identity, which we had guessed about in the past...¡±

    Many gods seemed to realize something. Earlier, they had guessed that Luo Yuan was precisely that bright silhouette. However, after Luo Yuan revealed his identity, they had concluded that Luo Yuan was not the silhouette at all. If so, who exactly was the silhouette left behind by the Creation God?

    ¡°What bullshit are you all talking about?¡±

    Luo Yuan frowned. Creation God? Shadow? He had never seen them before. However, from the words of the various gods, he discovered that this shadow had once fought Ye and had even forced Ye to use his ultimate trump card. This was the shadow that had caused Ye to bepletely helpless, to the point that even Chen Feng could kill him.

    Was this the truth? Luo Yuan frowned. Shadow... Luo Yuan looked at that seemingly nonexistent shadow. A powerful aura seemed to be building up within that shadow. The aura was so powerful that it was suffocating. That was an aura surpassing that of the gods.

    Creation God? Luo Yuan finally understood something.

    Shua!

    Slowly, that shadow revealed his full body. He did not have any bodily features, being purelyprised of a shadow. However, his strength was incredibly terrifying.

    ¡°It is indeed him.¡±

    ¡°He seems to have be even stronger.¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    ¡°So this is the shadow of the Creation God?¡±

    ¡°He is indeed simr to what we guessed, a faceless existence.¡±

    The various gods eximed in admiration. Although the shadow had been instantly killed by Ye in hisst appearance, he was still not an existence they could contend against. Furthermore, he had obviously been killed, but here he was, alive and well. How scary was that? Perhaps this shadow wasn¡¯t any weaker than Ye. And perhaps he wasn¡¯t lower than this person... Their gazesnded on Luo Yuan.

    Step by step, the shadow strode forth. As he walked forward, his strength slowly grew. He seemed to have given all the gods sufficient time to talk and had thus continued to advance slowly while his strength slowly built up. His strength had now reached an extremely terrifying level.

    ¡°Why am I getting such a terrifying feeling from him?¡±

    ¡°Holy shit, he seems to have be even stronger now.¡±

    ¡°He is too scary.¡±

    ¡°Look at his forehead. There¡¯s an imprint there. That does not look like the imprint of an ordinary god. There seems to be some unique power in that imprint. Perhaps this imprint was left behind by the Creation God?¡±

    ¡°That is quite possible.¡±

    ¡°The imprint of the Creation God?¡±

    ¡°Heavens. He did not have this thing when hest appeared.¡±

    ¡°Perhaps he didn¡¯t have time to use the imprintst time? Now that he had the time to use the imprint, Luo Yuan is probably in deep trouble.¡±

    The various gods eximed in admiration solely from the strength this shadow was emanating.

    With every step the shadow took, a different power seemingly manifested from him. That imprint on his forehead seemed to contain apletely different energy, one that was iparably terrifying. When he had first appeared, everything had still seemed calm. Yet now, as he stepped forth, his aura surpassed even Luo Yuan¡¯s. This was the true strength of the shadow of the Creation God.

    At this moment, killing intent pervaded the air. When the shadow got closer, the gods no longer dared to talk. They merely looked at the shadow and Luo Yuan, clear that a major battle was about to erupt. Silently, they distanced themselves from theing battlefield.

    ¡°It is starting.¡± Chen Feng was filled with expectation.

    ¡°My godly power of the wish is already capable of manifesting the imaginations of an entire crowd,¡± Wu Hui proudly said. He did not even need to care if Luo Yuan would buy the lie or not. As long as the others believed the lie, it would be sufficient. This was the scariest aspect of his strength.

    ¡°This shadow is already strong enough to kill Luo Yuan.¡± Wu Hui was certain. Those foolish gods, having seen the shadow once before, had be the shadow¡¯s fuel. Their imaginations had fed the shadow with strength without stop until, finally, the shadow reached this level of strength.

    Perhaps they could win this fight. Everyone was filled with expectation.

    Shua!

    The shadow was about to attack. However, outside of everyone¡¯s expectation, right at this moment, a different shadow walked out from the foot of a different mountain. This shadow greatly resembled the first, but there was something different about it.

    Chen Feng looked over at Wu Hui instinctively. ¡°???¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Wu Hui was dumbstruck as well. What was this?

    ¡°Not your work?¡± Qin Hai was rmed.

    Wu Hui stared nkly. ¡°Nope.¡±

    Not good! Chen Feng¡¯s heart thumped. Holy shit. This... can¡¯t be... a lie turning into reality... right? Are you kidding me?

 Chapter 811 - Same Ability

    <h4>Chapter 811: Same Ability</h4>

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    When that shadow appeared at the foot of the mountain, everyone was shocked. This was especially true when the shadow neared them, allowing them a clear look at the shadow¡¯s appearance, which was exactly the same as the other shadow, apart from their color. This shadow¡¯s entire body was shrouded in light. Even the imprint on his forehead was exactly the same.

    ¡°This...¡±

    ¡°The bright silhouette has actually appeared.¡±

    ¡°Apart from color, he is nearly a mirror image of the dark shadow.¡±

    ¡°So are these two the bright silhouette and the dark shadow left behind by the Creation God?¡±

    All the gods eximed in admiration. They had once believed that Luo Yuan was the bright silhouette. Now that they looked at it, the true silhouette had appeared.

    ¡°Luo Yuan is probably in danger.¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    ¡°The shadow alone is already this strong. If both the silhouette and shadow work together...¡±

    The gods trembled at the mere thought of the prowess of theirbination.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around as that silhouette slowly approached. When he finally reached Luo Yuan, when everyone was of the opinion that he was going to deal with Luo Yuan, he walked past Luo Yuan and continued on toward the shadow.

    ¡°What is he doing?¡±

    ¡°Is he not here to kill Luo Yuan?¡±

    ¡°Why do I feel like his target is the shadow?¡±

    ¡°This...¡±

    The various gods were stupefied. Didn¡¯t the silhouette originate from the same source as the shadow? Was that a lie? Or perhaps... they had seen wrongly? They rubbed their eyes and looked over again.

    Bang!

    What they saw was the silhouette attacking immediately after nearing the shadow. A terrifying energy engulfed the entire world. Just as everyone had guessed, this silhouette was so powerful that it was suffocating.

    Hmph!

    Wu Hui snorted. The shadow held nothing back and attacked as well.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    The shadow and silhouette started fighting each other. Numerous powerful auras pulsed out as they fought. The various gods trembled in fear and could only step back silently. However...

    The greater their fear, the stronger those two became.

    Bang!

    The earth trembled.

    Wu Hui clenched his teeth. ¡°What exactly is that fellow?¡± He knew how his shadow had appeared. However, what about that silhouette? He could not understand.

    ¡°Kong Bai?¡± Chen Feng asked.

    Kong Bai shook his head ¡°I can¡¯t investigate the source. His past and future arepletely nk.¡±

    Was this truly something left behind by the Creation God? Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. If this had truly been left behind by the Creation God, why would he fight for Luo Yuan? And why would it look exactly the same as the shadow? Or perhaps... he had intentionally assumed this appearance?

    Chen Feng was somewhat confused. However, it did not matter. They just had to keep pummeling him until his true appearance was revealed.

    Bang! Bang!

    The battle between the silhouette and shadow escted in intensity without stop. Shocking everyone, the two¡¯s strength increased without stop. At first, they were equivalent to a peak major god; now, they were at the same level as Luo Yuan. Even so, their strength was still growing, to the point they had surpassed Luo Yuan. There was a particrly odd point. The two seemed to mirror each other¡¯s strength. Regardless of how much one increased, the other was always the same.

    ¡°Their strength ispletely the same.¡±

    ¡°Truly worthy of being the left and right hands of the Creation God. However, it is pointless for them to fight each other.¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    ¡°If they continue, this will only end with both sides suffering.¡±

    ¡°Or perhaps the two might even die together.¡±

    They sighed. Indeed, shortly after, the intensity escted to its highest level when the two finally unleashed their respective trump cards upon each other¡¯s bodies. At the same time, the two crumbled apart and transformed into nothingness. Instantly, the worldpsed into silence. The two had indeed perished together.

    ¡°Again!¡±

    Wu Hui was indignant. He could not ept the fact that his strongest ability had failed in this way. When he recalled the things that had appeared after the death of shadow, he came up with a new idea.

    Shua!

    From the foot of the mountain, a bunch of figures of different colors appeared. Once again, the RGB figures made an appearance.

    ¡°Wow.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s these fellows again!¡±

    ¡°They seem to be somewhat weaker than the shadow. However, there are a lot of them, and they all possess terrifying strength.¡±

    The various gods were rmed. However, it was at this moment that, from the foot of the other mountain, a bunch of figures of differing colors appeared.

    ¡°This...¡±

    Wu Hui and the rest were thoroughly rmed this time. Yet again? What the hell?

    ¡°Something seems off.¡± Qin Hai had a pensive look. ¡°When you create a shadow, the opponent creates a silhouette. When you create multicolored figures, the opponent creates the same thing. This does not seem like the work of the Creation God. Rather, this is some sort of mirror-image ability. Is this one of Luo Yuan¡¯s ability?¡± Qin Hai asked with a grim expression.

    ¡°That¡¯s not it.¡± Kong Bai shook his head. ¡°If it were a mirror-image ability, the figures would be exactly the same, as opposed to the different colors they have.¡±

    ¡°True.¡± Qin Hai frowned and continued observing, wondering what exactly this was.

    Shua! Shua!

    The various figures entered the battlefield and a huge battle erupted once again. Ultimately, they all perished together. Both sides seemed to be forever equally matched. At present, even the various gods seemed to have realized something. Those figures did not seem rted to the Creation God. They seemed to be created by Luo Yuan?

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Let me give it a try.¡± Qin Hai took in a deep breath. ¡°Wu Hui, support me.¡±

    Wu Hui nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±

    Shua!

    Qin Hai moved. In fact, with Chen Feng¡¯s assistance, they had long ascended to godhood. After all, during that period of time when Chen Feng ruled, their respective strength had grown dramatically. Naturally, even with that, they were still mere minor gods. However, with Wu Hui¡¯s assistance, they would still be able to erupt with astonishing power. Moreover, Luo Yuan had yet to fully recover from his injuries.

    Bang!

    A sword light sliced the sky apart. Finally, Qin Hai¡¯s attack arrived.

    ¡°Sword God ¨C God Terminator!¡±

    A terrifying aura instantly engulfed the world.

    As the various gods saw this scene, their hearts leaped furiously. That was because the aura of this sword far surpassed the shadow from earlier. This terrifying attack had them all trembling in fear.

    ¡°Holy sh*t.¡±

    ¡°What power is this?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know, but it feels scary.¡±

    ¡°I suppose this is yet another attack at the level of Ye?¡±

    ¡°Heavens, why are so many experts appearing out of the blue?¡±

    The various gods were in fear. They were truly shocked. And next, that astonishing sword of Qin Hai¡¯s pierced straight at Luo Yuan. In fact, this sword attack was rather weak. It only appeared incredibly powerful. Its potential damage was in fact at the level of a minor god: pitifully weak. But with Wu Hui¡¯s assistance, this sword gained an entirely different level of strength than before.

    At the very least, the strength had reached the limit of the various gods¡¯ imaginations. Mhm... After all, those daring to participate in this battle should all be terrifying existences, right? And thus, the impressive-looking but weak attack originally unleashed by Qin Hai erupted with an astonishing power as it sliced the entire sky apart, heading straight toward Luo Yuan.

    ¡°Ah...¡± Luo Yuanughed. ¡°You guys... are truly looking down on me.¡±

    Shua!

    He raised his hand. This single motion shocked everyone, as from Luo Yuan¡¯s hand, the exact same sword light materialized. Everything, including the aura and might of this sword, was exactly the same as Qin Hai¡¯s sword.

    Swish!

    The terrifying sword light bloomed from his hand.

    ¡°This...¡±

    ¡°Heavens, yet another identical thing.¡±

    ¡°Could it be that Luo Yuan has some mirror-image ability mastered?¡±

    ¡°No idea.¡±

    They were all rmed. With their eyes wide open, they fixed their gaze on the battlefield.

    Bang!

    The two swords collided, releasing a dazzling explosion. And next, both swords vanished. Luo Yuan¡¯s gaze was fixed on the foot of the mountain. As he looked at the foot of the mountain where no new figures or shadows were appearing, a sneer formed on his face.

    Mirror image? Chen Feng was not bothered by the sneer. He was focusing on analyzing Luo Yuan¡¯s strength. He could clearly sense that this was not a mirror image. Moreover, for Luo Yuan to have reached his present height, he ought to have a unique ability. He was a mere human, and a crippled one at that.

    And yet he had been able to slowly reach this height, surpassing the likes of Ye. If it was pure growth in strength with conventional methods, how could he have reached this level? If so, what exactly was Luo Yuan¡¯s power? Chen Feng stood up. He had decided to personally make a move.

    ¡°This again.¡±

    ¡°What exactly is Luo Yuan¡¯s power?¡±

    ¡°Nobody knows.¡±

    Some people were analyzing the fight. Luo Yuan¡¯s condition was quite unique. He was about as strong as Ye had been when seriously injured, on the verge of death. Naturally, this would probably be the only opportunity they had to defeat Luo Yuan. As such, everyone was watching.

    However, from the beginning, this battle had been quite bizarre. Different from the Sin God, whose trump cards had been exhausted without stop before he was killed by Chen Feng, Luo Yuan hadn¡¯t even wasted much his godly power or sustained any injuries. Every single time, he was capable of creating something identical to face the iing attack. The shadow, the multicolored figures, and even this sword, he was able to do the same.

    Qin Hai sighed. ¡°He can imitate even this?¡± After his strongest sword received Wu Hui¡¯s buff, the might it disyed was equivalent to a peak major god. Yet even against this, the opponent had been able to create a mirror image? What else could he do? It would seem like this opponent was capable of copying evenplicated abilities, rather than a single type of abilities. This was Qin Hai¡¯s conclusion.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng said, ¡°Wu Hui. Create another shadow.¡±

    Wu Hui nodded. ¡°All right.¡± He was capable of creating a basic shadow. He only needed to let the masses see the shadow, and they would be filled with imagination and expectation. With this, the shadow would regain the strength it had disyed earlier.

    Shua!

    With a sh, Chen Feng appeared.

    The hearts of the various gods jolted.

    ¡°Look. The shadow has appeared again.¡±

    ¡°He is indeed still alive. This is what happened back then as well.¡±

    Swish!

    The newly reappeared shadow did not say anything. It charged straight at Luo Yuan.

    Shua!

    On the other side, a silhouette indeed appeared. With this, a huge battle erupted again.

    ¡°Again!¡±

    ¡°Is this a battle of endurance now?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±

    Everyone watched on in bewilderment. Such attacks werepletely useless. If so, why were they still wasting their time?

    Far away, Chen Feng pointed. ¡°Condense!¡±

    Shua!

    His Luck Aura activated.

    Chen Feng unleashed all his power on the shadow. With that, something unseen unfurled noiselessly, the core being the godly power of luck. So the shadow and silhouette were evenly matched? Indeed. So was it a mirror image? What if the godly power of luck were to silently affect this battle, then? What would happen in an evenly matched battle when one side received a terrifying boost of luck? When all the motions and attacks were executed perfectly... what would the silhouette rely on to obtain victory?

    This was what they all thought. s... surprising everyone, as time passed, this battle was still evenly matched. How was this even possible? Chen Feng frowned. He could feel his godly power of luck activating. This proved that the godly power of luck was indeed working. How could it be ineffective then?

    ¡°It indeed worked,¡± Wu Hui confirmed. He could clearly sense that the shadow now moved somewhat differently. And yet... ¡°The silhouette seems to be moving somewhat differently as well,¡± Wu Hui continued.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart throbbed. The silhouette... had evolved as well? Why? Was this a true mirror image? The silhouette could increase in strength ordingly as well? Mhm... Chen Feng sank into contemtion.

    ¡°Wu Hui, destroy the shadow.¡±

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    Bang!

    Suddenly, the shadow detonated. Suddenly, the silhouette stopped doing anything. It merely returned to Luo Yuan¡¯s side and gazed toward Chen Feng¡¯s direction with a sneer.

    Their hearts leaped. The silhouette was still there!

    ¡°This is definitely not a mirror image!¡± Chen Feng realized. First, the appearance and strength were not aplete imitation of their shadow, which proved that this was not a true mirror image. Second, when Chen Feng had used his godly power of luck, the opponent received the same boost as well. This instead proved that this was some sort of continuous copying effect. And third, the silhouette still existed despite the destruction of the shadow. Thus, it was impossible for this to be a mirror-image ability.

    However, if this was not a mirror image, what was it? This was especially true when even the godly power of luck was used. That shouldn¡¯t be a power one could copy. Unless... the opponent did not even need a mirror image ability to copy abilities?

    Suddenly, a terrifying thought surfaced in Chen Feng¡¯s mind. Apart from this battle, the times they had crossed swords, as well as the missing memories, seemed to be hinting at something. Back then, Chen Feng had yet to discover the truth. As such, he hadn¡¯t put much thought into it. But now...

    He stood up. ¡°Let me give it a try.¡±

    Bang!

    A terrifying radiance began to converge within his eyes. Coldly, he gazed at the distant Luo Yuan. Suddenly, the sky darkened. A terrifying phenomenon appeared, covering the entire world. An intense sense of crisis appeared in the heart of every single life-form on this world.

    They raised their heads. ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±

    ¡°This is so scary. I can sense the smell of death.¡±

    Bang!

    The sky seemed to be ripped apart at this instant. Beyond it, a faraway star suddenly trembled before charging straight at them. The terrifying aura of this iing star caused everyone to shudder in fear.

    Bang! Bang!

    The aura of death enveloped everyone. As for Chen Feng, he stood there with his eyes shining brightly, appearing incredibly terrifying. What was he trying to do? His action shocked even Kong Bai and the rest. Destroy the? However, after thinking about it, they decided to maintain their full trust in Chen Feng.

    Swish!

    A terrifying star pierced through space and traveled straight toward this. This star was terrifying, muchrger than even the itself. They could see this star as a tiny dot in the sky all the time. Yet now, they all realized how terrifying it was. The entire sky seemed to be covered by that star. Nothing else was visible. Before them, there was only endless darkness. Different than the previous meteor, this was true destruction, even though the star was still rather far from the.

    ¡°Still not stopping?¡± Kong Bai and the rest trembled. They knew that this star was being led here by Chen Feng. However, what if... what if he lost control over it?

    Shua!

    Suddenly, a loud boom resounded in the sky.

    The huge tear in the sky suddenly vanished. With this, that approaching star vanished as well. Everyone raised their heads and looked at the returned starry sky. That star... was still in its original location.

    ¡°Hiss¡ª¡±

    Everyone was deeply startled. What had happened?

    ¡°You locked space?¡± Qin Hai asked. Earlier, Chen Feng had ripped space apart, creating a rift right above them that coincidentally connected directly to the orbiting path of that distant star. That was the source of the aura of destruction. However, so long as one locked space down, everything would return to normal. This spatial tear that could only be created with a fluke generated by Luck Aura wasn¡¯t something a regr ability could shut.

    Chen Feng shook his head and gave a shocking answer. ¡°Not me. Luo Yuan is the one who did it.¡±

    Kong Bai was somewhat stupefied. ¡°That is not possible. Didn¡¯t you say that only the power of luck can...¡±

    Suddenly, Chen Feng said, ¡°Yeah. What if he has the godly power of luck as well?¡±

    What?

    Everyone¡¯s heart jolted. Luo Yuan... had the godly power of luck as well?

    ¡°Not only that.¡± A terrifying radiance shed in Chen Feng¡¯s eyes. ¡°I seem to have figured out his power.¡±

    ¡°Could it be...¡± Qin Hai had a vague guess as well. He was rather shocked by this guess of his.

    ¡°Correct,¡± Chen Feng said self-mockingly, revealing an astonishing truth.

    ¡°Your ability, Wu Hui¡¯s ability, Kong Bai¡¯s transmigration, everyone¡¯s abilities are owned by him as well. That is the only way he could have reached this height, the only way he could have ascended to the throne.¡±

    Finally, every question seemed to have been answered. Why he had been hiding in outer space not doing anything and why he had been able to surpass gods with the body of a human, everything had been answered. If the wristbandmunicators he had created were capable of duplicating all abilities for his own use, Luo Yuan was able to copy everyone¡¯s abilities, including the gods¡¯.

    When Wu Hui had created the shadow, he had created it slowly. Only after leaving a deep impression in everyone¡¯s heart did the shadow be exceptionally powerful. How about Luo Yuan? He had not needed to slowly build it up; he had only needed to create an identical silhouette and everyone would imagine a simr level of strength based on the impressions Wu Hui had carved in their hearts.

    Ah, this is the silhouette. Ah, this fellow¡¯s strength should be simr to the shadow¡¯s strength.

    And thus, they had failed. The same applied to Qin Hai¡¯s swordy. Luo Yuan had reaped his hard work, unleashing an identical sword. However, this so-called ¡°identical¡± wasn¡¯t a pure duplication of the sword. What Luo Yuan had copied was in fact the very ability that generated the sword. This signified that... When Chen Feng thought of this, he had a bad premonition.

    ¡°Leave.¡±

    He instantly retreated with the others.

    Ka! Ka!

    Suddenly, swirling radiance appeared around them. Next, a huge cube appeared out of thin air, locking them within.

    ¡°Found you guys...¡± Luo Yuanughed lightly. ¡°Did you believe that I would be so childish as to y along withpletely identical abilities? You guys are mistaken. I was merely dying while looking for your position...¡±

    Since Luck Aura was ineffective against Chen Feng, he¡¯d had no choice but to manually search for them. Fortunately, he had seeded in finding them.

    Shua! Shua!

    The faint radiance condensed,pletely sealing Chen Feng¡¯s group within.

    ¡°That is...¡±

    ¡°Chen Feng?¡±

    ¡°He is actually there. Hold on, he seems to have been trapped?¡±

    ¡°Luo Yuan is actually this powerful?¡±

    The gods all eximed in admiration.

    They had initially believed that this would be a battle where any side could win. Unexpectedly, the fight had just started, yet Chen Feng¡¯s group had been utterly defeated. Luo Yuan was truly too powerful, so powerful that it was suffocating.

    ¡°You guys have no way out now,¡± Luo Yuan said coldly. Finally, everything was over. That damnable 1% had been giving him a feeling of difort. Now that he had finally trapped Chen Feng¡¯s group, he would not allow Chen Feng any chance of victory.

    ¡°Don¡¯t bother trying to escape. This trap has beenid with no less than 12 of the strongest sealing godly powers,¡± Luo Yuan said with a sneer.

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡±

    He tried breaking the seal. Indeed, nothing worked. Using 12 types of sealing godly powers for this... All Chen Feng could say was that this man was indeed worthy of being Luo Yuan. His power was indeed exactly as he had guessed.

    Chen Feng sighed. ¡°So such a terrifying power actually exists in this world?¡± An ability capable of copying all abilities was truly too powerful.

    ¡°Hehe.¡± Luo Yuan smiled. ¡°What¡¯s so powerful about this ability? At first, this ability was weak it was pathetic, to the point that the Gic Union didn¡¯t even bother registering it in their list. You have no idea the path I threaded to reach this point. You will never know... what I have experienced.¡±

    ¡ª-

    Name: Copy

    ss: F

    Function: Copy an ability, making it the user¡¯s own ability.

    Requirements:

    1. The copying process takes more than three days.

    2. During the copying process, this ability needs to be constantly touching the copy target.

    3. During the copying process, the copy target needs to be constantly using the ability to provideprehension. After sessfulprehension, the copy will immediately seed.

    Limitations:

    1. Unable to upgrade.

    2. Only one ability can be copied per month.

    3. After a sessful copy, the user will only obtain the target ability¡¯s initial form. The user need to cultivate and practice the ability himself to make it strong.

    4. After fusing with this gic ability, the user will not be able to fuse with any other genes.

    ...

    ¡ª-

    Copy, an ability proven to beplete trash immediately after its discovery. The so-called ¡°three days¡± was in fact the minimum requirement. If the target did not use the copied ability with great frequency, much more time would be required.

    It could only copy once per month, and it could only copy the basic version of the ability, and this ability could not be upgraded. This, in turn, caused this ability to bebeled as trash. It was said that someone had once tried using this ability. That person had tried to copy the ability of a senior of his. Subsequently, that senior had gone out on a hunting mission and continuously used the target ability for half a month before Copy finally seeded.

    That was the proof that three days was indeed the minimum requirement. Half a month? One was better off buying some gene reagents they could directly use. After all, that had been in the Gic Era. Moreover, that test had been done on an ability of a simr ss. What if it was used to copy an ability of a higher ss? Mhm... More time was required. It was said that it might even take more than a year.

    So what was the point of obtaining this ability? Even scarier was the fact that after fusing with that gic ability, one could not fuse with any other gic abilities. This damnable ability had too great a rejection toward other genes. This signified that the moment one fused with this ability, one would never have any other abilities.

    All additional abilities could only be gained via copying. F-ss abilities weren¡¯t too bad, but E, D, C, or abilities of an even higher ss? Hehe, in any case, all those that had tried doing that had died. And thus, ultimately, this ability had be known as an ability that was good for nothing within the Gic Union.

    This hadsted until Luo Yuan obtained this ability. For Luo Yuan, who was starting anew after crippling himself, his sess rate when fusing with other genes was already incredibly low. And thus, he selected this unique gene. With one attempt, he seeded. Next, he started his journey of gene copying.

    Originally, this should have been to be a slow and arduous journey. However, on a certain day, Luo Yuan managed to copy an ability called Evolution. This ability granted his Copy a weak growth in strength. With that discovery, he started focusing on the more unique F-ss abilities.

    Every ability capable of a weak enhancement or growth was copied by him. Ultimately, after many years, his Copypletely transformed from its original state, all its limitations reducing. With that, the Copy ability started gaining momentum. From that day onward, E ss, D ss, C ss... While growing himself, he evolved his Copy ability without stop. All those abilities that were proimed to be incapable of coexisting with other abilities were copied by him.

    With this, his Copy ability became an extremely terrifying ability. Slowly but surely, Luo Yuan¡¯s strength became terrifying. With his newfound strength, he destroyed all the records the Gic Union had on this ability. With his copied abilities, he altered everyone¡¯s memories, erasing the memories rted to this ability.

    And thus, the Copy ability became unique to him alone. He went on to found the Stormtech Company, with his gaze set on the entire world. Nobody knew that he could copy abilities through the wristband. Nobody knew that each time they used their ability was equivalent to an increase inprehension, which was subsequently transmitted to Luo Yuan through the wristband.

    Moreover, after the evolution of Copy, the newly copied abilities were no longer weaker than the original versions. Interestingly, on a certain day, Luo Yuan managed to copy a unique ability: Transmigration.

    Mhm... The source of this ability was Kong Bai. At that time, Luo Yuan was overwhelmed with joy. Thebination of transmigration and luck was simply perfect. With excitement, he transmigrated to the past and once again saw that flower-like youngdy. He was so happy that he forgot himself.

    He decided to stay there, to relive his life. s, he made the wrong choice.

    He discovered that he did not belong in that era and had no way of fitting in. First of all, the woman he loved did not even care about him due to the different aura surrounding him. Second, the him of the past was already in that era. What could he do? Should he kill his past self? No, killing his past self would result in his own death.

    Thus, Luo Yuan was greatly depressed to find that his only option was to continue loving that woman while protecting his past self. If he did that, what would happen to the future? He did not know. He had to ensure that his past self picked the same options. But if he provided any assistance to his past self, wouldn¡¯t his memories be altered? Wouldn¡¯t history be altered?

    Without his help, his past self would still be reduced into a cripple and lose that young missy. And thus, everything was extremely chaotic. Luo Yuan indeed tried to tamper with history several times, causing the entire world to descend into chaos. The only thing he could do was continue transmigrating into the past to amend history. Finally, he managed to save the timeline.

    Tampering with time was way tooplicated. Everything involving time had great implications, to the point that the implications were outside his control. This was the moment he realized how useless this ability was. Everything he did might very well change the future or even result in the destruction of this world.

    Ultimately, Luo Yuan gave up. He decided to seek the power of time, a power far surpassing his ability of transmigration. Only with this ability would he be able to truly return to the past. s, he had never imagined that when he had just set forth on this path, something that shouldn¡¯t be provoked was provoked into existence.

    That was Ye, the Sin God. Indeed, the first person to encounter Ye was actually Luo Yuan. Due to his various travels through time, perhaps due to the effect of a foreign aura or some other unique effect, Ye, who had been dead, awakened from eternal darkness.

    And thus, suddenly, the Twin Horns World came into existence, a world that shouldn¡¯t have existed in the first ce. Luo Yuan clearly remembered that this world had not existed before. Subsequently, even bigger events happened. The primordial descended upon this world for no apparent reason, and Ye returned for no apparent reason as well.

    The things that shouldn¡¯t have appeared, the loose ends tied up by the Creation God prior to his departure, were let loose yet again by Luo Yuan messing with time. After all, how could a great existence like the Creation Godmit such an amateurish mistake by leaving such a loophole for Ye and the primordial to return?

    Prior to his departure, the various gods had already been properly sealed. The Sin God had been thoroughly sealed away as well. Moreover, the power of time had been made a forbidden power. He had never expected that someone had been using the unique power of transmigration to achieve the effect of time travel, altering time and space, altering the properly sealed timeline.

    Ultimately, the proper timeline waspletely messed up by Luo Yuan. Just like that, those sealed existences came into being again. In fact, Luo Yuan noticed theing of the primordial way before it happened. However, he was instead very excited. Did that not mean that he would be able to obtain even more abilities? The primordial abilities... and even the abilities of the various gods!

    And thus, he hid, bing the puppet master behind the scenes. The invasion of the Twin Horns World... The transmission of this world¡¯s coordinates to them... Each of these previously unsolved puzzles was his work.

    He controlled everything behind the scenes just so he could obtain more strength. He wanted to absorb every ability that existed, to search for his goal. Fortunately, he was finally done. And that terrifying Ye had also been eliminated. The mortals of the human world and the various gods were under his wristband¡¯s control.

    This was simply a perfect conclusion for him. And now, he only needed to deal with these flies before him, these fellows that should have died long ago, and everything would be over. This would be especially true after the death of Chen Feng, the so-called creator of miracles.

    After all, the only thing Chen Feng relied on was his Luck Aura, right? He had copied ability immediately after noticing it. For him to have reached this height, Luck Aura had yed quite a role. Granted, Chen Feng had subsequently stopped using the wristband, causing Ye¡¯sprehension of this ability to stop increasing. However, it no longer mattered.

    With his sheer strength, his version of Luck Aura ought to be stronger than Chen Feng¡¯s. At most, they would only counteract each other¡¯s luck. Against him, Chen Feng¡¯s luck would be ineffective. Therefore, escape would be impossible for Chen Feng.

    He, Luo Yuan, was the true controller of this world.

    He wanted to truly control this world in the truest sense before rewinding time itself. That¡¯s right, what he wanted to truly rewind time, rewinding everything. After all, transmigration and time travel were useless to him. Or to be more precise, he no longer dared to tamper with anything involving transmigration or time travel.

    Time traveling had too great an implication. It could potentially cause someone like Ye, who had obviously died, toe back. If he caused Ye toe back once again, what could he do? What if the one toe back was the Creation God? The mere thought was sufficient to nt endless fear in Luo Yuan¡¯s heart.

    If the Creation God truly returned, it would truly be over for Luo Yuan. There was no question about that. As such, Luo Yuan would not give such a thing any chance to happen. In any case, the world of the past was not one he wanted. Furthermore, even if he truly went back in time, if others continued time traveling and messing with the timeline as they wished, things would be very troublesome.

    As such, he had decided on a single n: to rewind time! Turning the flower-like youngdy from a person of the past into a person of the present. There would be no past or present. There would only be that era when he was young. If time was equivalent to a thread and the acts of transmigration and time travel were the act of jumping to different points on this thread, what Luo Yuan wanted to aplish was to cut off the front and back of the thread, returning everything to that point in time, turning his young self into the center of the thread, the center of the timeline.

    If one traveled through time, only the traveling person would return in time; the world would remain. As for rewinding time, the entire world would be reversed and he would be unchanging. His past self would vanish¡ªor to be more precise, reced by him¡ªwithout affecting the timeline. He would still remain himself. This was what he wanted. The era with that youngdy within, an era where he could fight as he wished, not needing to worry that he would identally erase his future self with his tampering.

    Naturally, the requirements for doing this were frighteningly high. He had to first assume control over the entire world, reaching a height even Ye had failed to reach. First he would fully control the world, then he would rewind the entire world. At that time, he would truly return to the past. As for everything in the present timeline? Heh.

    When his n waspleted, everything would rewind with time, thoroughly vanishing. Different from time travel, rewinding time would thoroughly erase everything from the future. Apart from him, everything from the present would be gone. Primordial? Gods? They would all go poof.

    Luo Yuan sighed. ¡°Time to put this to an end.¡± The past started ying in his mind. A mncholic feeling surfaced as he recalled the many years he had walked alone in the darkness. It had truly been hard for him. Now, he was finally on the verge of sess./

    Wait for me, he muttered inwardly, seemingly already seeing that youngdy waiting for his return. But before that, he had something to finish with Chen Feng, whom he had yet to kill.

    Shua!

    He tossed over a wristband to Chen Feng.

    ¡°Put that on,¡± Luo Yuan said grimly.

    ¡°You should already have the Luck Aura ability, right?¡± asked Chen Feng.

    Luo Yuan smiled. ¡°Yes. However, yourprehension of Luck Aura is above mine.¡± He narrowed his eyes. ¡°Moreover, there are other powers hidden within you, some extremely weird existences.¡±

    Chen Feng smiled. ¡°So that is why you haven¡¯t killed me yet?¡± It was no wonder that Luo Yuan had kept him alive and had been talking nonstop. So it turned out Luo Yuan had his eyes set on what Chen Feng had? Mhm...

    ¡°Do you know that viins tend to end up dead?¡± Chen Feng asked.

    Luo Yuan shrugged. ¡°Yeah. However, from my point of view, you are the viin. Am I wrong?¡±

    Shua!

    They exchanged nces, their eyes gleaming.

    Viin...

    ¡°I understand now.¡± Chen Feng understood. Since an unknown point in time, Luo Yuan had fully seen himself as the main character. With Luck Aura, he had given himself everything a main character should have. And thus, as time had passed, he hade to believe this as well. After all, this was also what Chen Feng had believed in the past. Ultimately, the cruelness of reality had awoken him from this delusion. Luck Aura was nevertheless still Luck Aura, not some main character¡¯s aura.

    Luo Yuan¡¯s expression became cold. ¡°Put this on.¡±

    ¡°All right.¡± Chen Feng sighed. ¡°Are you sure you want me to wear it? Perhaps, after putting it on, something bad will happen,¡± Chen Feng said solemnly.

    ¡°Put it on!¡± Luo Yuan no longer had the patience to continue talking.

    ¡°Fine.¡± Chen Feng picked up the wristband. ¡°Ah, it has been a while since Ist used one of these,¡± hemented. It had indeed been a long time since he had used a wristband.

    Shua!

    Luck Aura activated noiselessly.

    ¡°It¡¯s useless,¡± Luo Yuan¡¯s cold voice sounded. ¡°I told you, even though your Luck Aura is somewhat more advanced than mine, the nature of the godly power of luck is still simr. As such, your Luck Aura will never work on me. If we both use it at the same time, the most they can achieve is counteracting each other.¡±

    Shua!

    Radiance started swirling around him. At this instant, he activated his Luck Aura as well.

    ¡°I know,¡± Chen Feng said indifferently. ¡°I only activated Luck Aura to counteract yours.¡±

    ¡°Mhm?¡± Luo Yuan had a sudden ominous feeling. This feeling intensified greatly when he saw Chen Feng put the wristband on, to the point that he nearly instinctively tried to stop Chen Feng from doing so.

    Luo Yuan¡¯s heart leaped madly. ¡°No!¡± s, it was already toote.

    Ka!

    The moment Chen Feng put the wristband on, his ability was officially linked with Luo Yuan¡¯s ability. The entire world, which was under the control of Luo Yuan¡¯s wristbands, became iparably distinct to him. The entire world, the millions upon millions of life-forms and wristbands, everything became like a bright shining star to him.

    In the sky, Luo Yuan was like an almighty star that was absorbing everyone¡¯s faith and energy. A faint string seemed to be connecting all the wristbands. So this was how he had been copying abilities? At first, the wristbands had merely copied the wearers¡¯ abilities. Subsequently, though, the wristbands had started absorbing the wearers¡¯prehensions as well. This was indeed quite scary. All the abilities copied by Luo Yuan were improving without stop. / update by

    ¡°I see.¡± Chen Feng finally understood. This differed somewhat from what he had initially pictured. He had believed that this would be Luo Yuan¡¯s weakness. So what if he had so many abilities? He was only one person and could only truly learn a few of the truly powerful abilities. As such, he would probably select a few abilities to focus on. The others would be left in their primary forms.

    However, it seemed like that wasn¡¯t the case. With the wristbands linking him and everyone else, all his abilities could improve without stop. This was indeed incredibly terrifying. Luo Yuan truly possessed all the abilities of this world, and those abilities were all simrly being pushed to the pinnacle. So this was where his confidence originated from?

    Chen Feng finally understood. However, had Luo Yuan ever imagined that...

    Chen Feng raised his hand.

    Shua!

    Suddenly, a faint power began to operate.

    Hum¡ª

    Luo Yuan and an extremely bad feeling, and his instinctive reaction was to snatch the wristband away from Chen Feng. After all, he had a passive perception toward danger. Therefore, he was clear that this crisis existed for real, as was theing danger. He had to take the wristband off Chen Feng immediately.

    Unfortunately, the 12 seals he had personally ced were now hindering him. These 12 seals, which were supposed to be sealing Chen Feng, would take a tiny amount of even his own time to remove. And this little bit of time was sufficient for that power Chen Feng was unleashing to pulse out.

    Shua! Shua!

    That power started pouring into the wristband.

    ¡°Go,¡± Chen Feng said, his emotions surging.

    The way Luo Yuan controlled all the wristbands was by having a hugework simr to the inte. Each port was linked to a single person. What if a virus was dumped into thiswork? Mhm... It was quite simple. Luo Yuan was absorbing theprehension of the numerous life-forms at all times, maintaining a synchronous connection with all these life-forms.

    What if, suddenly, these people encountered some power that would perhaps mutate or even demote their abilities? Individually, such a mutation or ability demotion was a mere setback and wasn¡¯t particrly serious. However, what if this happened to everyone at the same time, and Luo Yuan, who was maintaining a synchronous connection with them all, received the same effect as well? This would be quite interesting, would it not?

    Swish!

    That power started spreading noiselessly. Moving along Luo Yuan¡¯swork, that power seeped into every single person wearing a wristband. No physical contact or direct connection was required. This power only needed to be aimed at the various wristbands to start taking effect. This power was precisely the power of misfortune. This was a power only Chen Feng had control over, a power Luo Yuan hadn¡¯t gotten hold of.

    Bang!

    The terrifying power engulfed everyone.

    At this time, somewhere extremely far away, a certain powerful gic warrior was in the midst of cultivation as usual. Suddenly, a ck aura shrouded his body, though he himself did not realize it. He merely felt his heart throb slightly as he suddenly recalled the thing he feared most. During this crucial moment of his cultivation, his attention swayed. Next, he coughed up a mouthful of blood. He didn¡¯t just fail to achieve a breakthrough; his strength was also reduced. His body had suffered a rather grave injury.

    At a different location, a certain person was fighting an intense battle with a mutated beast.

    Suddenly, his ability failed to work. Before he could even understand what was going on, he was injured heavily by that mutated beast. He had no choice but to destroy his own ability to obtain the final burst of energy he required to flee this ce.

    At yet another different location, a certain person had been relying on a certain unique ability, one capable of granting the body iparable flexibility, to dominate the nightlife industry here. For some reason, this ability suddenly failed, nearly crippling this person due to extreme exhaustion.

    ...

    Like a virus, that faint ck aura infected everyone. Nearly everyone wearing a wristband suffered a setback, though the intensity varied. With the synchronous connection, all these setbacks were instantly directly shared with Luo Yuan.

    Pu!

    Luo Yuan had only managed to take a single step forward toward Chen Feng before he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

    Bang!

    The intense pain that he suddenly felt caused him to halfway kneel on the ground. This power...

    Pu!

    Yet another mouthful of blood was coughed up. He felt like a pair of unseen ck palms were grabbing at his heart, squeezing tightly. He felt like they could crush his heart at any time. Damn it! What power was this? He raised his head. Before his eyes, that previously unremarkable guy called Chen Feng suddenly seemed so very terrifying.

    Ability syncing was an effect the Copy ability had received after numerous evolutions. This was what had ensured that Luo Yuan could surpass all living beings, maintaining all the abilities he gained from everyone at peak proficiency rather than them all being stuck at the primary level. Now, it was his greatest weakness. The setbacks that all of the life-forms were experiencing were being shared with him, causing his entire body to ache in pain, and he had lost control over his body as well.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng punched out. Instantly, a powerful might erupted. Chen Feng¡¯s power as a god went through the usual amplification and sted at Luo Yuan¡¯s body.

    Pu!

    With a punch, Luo Yuan was beaten into the ground.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Chen Feng did not stop attacking. He stepped forth as terrifying power converged in his hands. Each punchnded on Luo Yuan, sting the power into his body. The attacks never stopped, not even when Luo Yuan was already sprawled on the ground, not even when he was already bloodied all over.

    Shua!

    Everyonepsed into silence. The various gods gulped, not daring to say anything. This... Chen Feng was actually wiping the ground with Luo Yuan? This truly surpassed even their wildest imaginings. This was too astonishing. After all, this was Luo Yuan, a person that possessed every ability. This...

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    The sound of Luo Yuan being beaten up echoed without stop. Chen Feng¡¯s attacks were trulynding, and a terrifying shockwave was spreading all over. Luo Yuan¡¯s body was on the verge of copse.

    ¡°Still not giving up?¡± Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. This fellow... had much greater endurance than he had imagined. Was this due to the numerous unique abilities he had copied in the past? This fellow...

    Bang!

    Once again, Chen Feng erupted with strength. As for Luo Yuan, he was already covered with injuries, and his consciousness was getting blurry, to the point that he couldn¡¯t even see Chen Feng clearly anymore. Damn it. What power was this, exactly? He had no idea. He did not know how Chen Feng had obtained such a power.

    In the past, Luo Yuan had been sessful in all his endeavors thanks to Luck Aura. As such, as time passed, he had formed a strong reliance on Luck Aura. Everything had always progressed as he wished. Yet now that his Luck Aura had been neutralized by Chen Feng, with his luck even taking a bad turn, he was thoroughly dumbfounded. He didn¡¯t know how to deal with this. In fact, this was something Chen Feng had experienced before. Therefore, Chen Feng knew exactly how Luo Yuan was feeling.

    This reliance on luck used to be Chen Feng¡¯s greatest weakness as well. Because of this, he had nearly lost everything. When Luck Aura had been taken away from him, he had nearly given up on everything. Now he was letting Luo Yuan experience the same thing. He knew very well what Luo Yuan would feel, since Luo Yuan was simrly reliant on Luck Aura. Luo Yuan waspletely clueless when it came to how to deal with this sudden change.

    Bang! Bang!

    Chen Feng¡¯s punches rained down. He could feel that Luo Yuan¡¯s body was getting weaker and weaker. This body, which had been strengthened countless times, was now iparably frail, mainly due to the excessive blood loss.

    Pu!

    Luo Yuan coughed up another mouthful of blood, his face deadly pale. He was truly on the verge of copse. The strength Chen Feng had erupted with far surpassed that of an ordinary god. One could say that his strength had surpassed even that of a major god. However, he was clearly an ordinary god.

    Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

    Luo Yuan was feeling extremely hateful. Did he have no options left? Luo Yuan clenched both his fists tightly. He had spent so many years arranging everything so as to reach this point. How could he allow his n to fail now? However, he truly had no options.

    Perhaps there was indeed a way out of this. Unfortunately, due to his reliance on Luck Aura, Luo Yuan hadn¡¯t solved anything with his wits for a long time. As such, he was presently incapable of thinking of any way to deal with this sudden attack. He tried to think.

    Bang!

    A punchnded on his now bun-like face.

    He tried to think again.

    Bang!

    Yet another punch came, interrupting his thoughts. He truly couldn¡¯t even think properly under pressure anymore...

    Chen Feng would not give him a chance to think deeply. As for his body, under the relentless attacks, he wouldn¡¯t be able tost any longer. Soon... If Luo Yuan couldn¡¯t counterattack, he would probably be beaten to death just like this. Moreover, this would be a total defeat.

    Bang!

    Yet another punchnded. It was at this moment that Luo Yuan lost control over his emotions.

    He raged. ¡°Chen Feng! I hate you!¡±

    Bang!

    Yet another punchnded on his face. Was there any way he could deal with this? Yes. Quite a simple way, in fact. How did one deal with a virus-infectedputerwork? Sever the connection! In thiswork of connections set up by Luo Yuan, when someone died or lost one¡¯s ability, the connection would be severed. Luo Yuan would then be able to keep the abilities he had stolen from those people, even after they had died.

    This was a precautionary method he had prepared long ago. However, to do this when it involved his entirework? He was still hesitating.

    Bang! Bang! / update by

    A punchnded on his nose. Even with his constitution surpassing that of a god¡¯s, he was still badly wounded.

    No! I can¡¯t give up just like this! There must be another way! he howled inwardly. He was unwilling to ept this. He would not give up. There had to be some other way. He possessed countless abilities and unimaginable strength. Moreover, all of the abilities he had copied wereparatively powerful. With so many abilities at his disposal, he was the strongest existence. Surely there was a way out of this.

    Is this an invasion of mywork? Is this a virus? Or something else? It does not matter how Chen Feng did it. There ought to be a solution... Let me think... I will definitely be able to think of something! If Luck Aura still worked, what would Luck Aura have me do?

    Bang!

    Another punchnded.

    What angle would Luck Aura tackle this problem from?

    Bang!

    A kicknded on his crotch.

    Oh, this angle...

    Bang!

    A powerful force seemed to be eroding his organs.

    Luo Yuan¡¯s thought process was interrupted without stop. With despair, he found that, without Luck Aura, he required much more time to process his thoughts. After all, it had been way too long since he hadst used his brain. Chen Feng had no intention of giving him a chance to think. Time after time, Luo Yuan¡¯s thoughts were interrupted. His body became weaker and weaker; he was now bordering death. Finally, Luo Yuan gave up trying to think of a different solution.

    ¡°Ah ah ah ah ahhhhh! Sever!¡± he howled. Under Chen Feng¡¯s intense beating, he finally countered with an intense burst of fury.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    All over the world, at this instant, all the wristbands in existence burst apart.

    Shua!

    Finally, the connections to Luo Yuan were severed, and instantly, Luo Yuan¡¯s body started recovering rapidly. Previously, he had been unable to heal as he had been simultaneously receiving all the damage that all the living beings in the world were suffering. And now... without the simultaneous damage, his body was healing at a speed fast enough to surpass Chen Feng¡¯s damage.

    However, there was no trace of joy on Luo Yuan¡¯s face. That was because, for survival, he had given up on something incredibly important to him! The millions upon millions of life-forms and abilities! He had gained those things after many years of bitter nning. Everything was now gone.

    ¡°Chen Feng!¡±

    Luo Yuan was filled with hatred.

    Chapter 817: The Liberated World

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    At a certain location, a middle-aged person enduring the pain caused by the decrease in his strength suddenly found that his wristband was broken. An expression of utter joy appeared on his face as he realized that this wristband had actually broken down by itself. He had tried so many methods to get rid of it, yet it had seemed like the wristband had be a part of him and refused to be destroyed.

    Each time he had tried to damage it, the damage had been redirected to him instead. Even worse was the fact that this wristband had asionally controlled his body. This thing was like a demon, yet he had not been able to deal with it. He had given up on it, resigned to the fact that his and his children¡¯s future would be under the control of their wristbands.

    Unexpectedly, this thing had broken down on its own today. The middle-aged man stood up. After the feeling of pain vanished, he studied his wrist thoroughly. Apart from a red dot left by a needle, there was nothing on his wrist. The wristband had truly vanished.

    He howled withughter. ¡°Hahahahaha. I have regained freedom!¡±

    At a different location, simr sounds of celebration could be heard.

    ¡°Haha, I am free as well.¡±

    ¡°Same here.¡±

    A smile appeared on the middle-aged man¡¯s face. It seemed like everyone had survived this. They were finally free from that damnable wristband.

    ¡°Hold on. That Luo Yuan fellow seems to have ascended to godhood as well?¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    ¡°He seems incredibly powerful. Even without the wristband, if he decides toe and catch us...¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. Fast, bring our family with us as well.¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    ¡°No matter how strong he is, without the wristband, he won¡¯t be able to locate us.¡± U.p..dated by

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    And thus, a huge number of people left their homes. After experiencing the short era of Luo Yuan, they knew how terrifying it was to be under someone else¡¯s control. With that wristband controlling them, even suicide had not been an option. That was truly a life without freedom.

    ¡°Hmph. Even if I have to die, I am not willing to be controlled again.¡±

    ¡°Agreed.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. In this unique era, the world is particrly massive.¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    Soon, a huge number of people left. The poption in the numerous human territories dropped rapidly. This was merely what was happening to the humans.

    The same was happening to the other races, such as the unique races, the beasts, the ancients, and all other life-forms. All of them moved into the dangerous regions. They would rather die in those deste regions than be subjected to control. As for Chen Feng and Luo Yuan¡¯s battlefield, those who received the greatest effect were the various gods.

    They had merely been invaded by the power of misfortune. However, with the disappearance of Luo Yuan¡¯s wristbands, they were no longer under control.

    ¡°We are free?¡±

    They were still in a daze. The fight between Chen Feng and Luo Yuan had actually freed them from the wristbands¡¯ control. How could they not be overjoyed by this?

    Bang! Bang!

    The battle was still going on for Chen Feng.

    Luo Yuan¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. ¡°You are courting death!¡± As his body had begun to recover, he was no longer fearful of Chen Feng¡¯s attacks. Earlier, he had been dragged down by the numerous life-forms and been helplessly beaten up by Chen Feng. As for now... hehe.

    Shua!

    Luo Yuan¡¯s body recovered at a rapid pace. The speed at which Chen Feng could deal damage to him was even slower than his recovery.

    Suddenly, the various gods awakened from their stupor.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    ¡°Help him!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, let us destroy Luo Yuan together!¡±

    This was the best opportunity to gang up on Luo Yuan. Otherwise, if Luo Yuan was allowed to fully recover, they would have to live their lives under someone else¡¯s control. As they thought of this, the various gods charged forth without hesitation.

    Swish! Swish!

    Various godly powers sted toward Luo Yuan.

    ¡°Damn it!¡± Luo Yuan had an unsightly expression. Although these godly powers couldn¡¯t deal much damage to him, he was still of the opinion that he shouldn¡¯t have given up control over these gods. Earlier, all the gods had been affected as well and had simrly been sharing their injuries with Luo Yuan. With several thousand of them, the umted damage had been sufficient to hurt Luo Yuan quite a lot.

    As such, he had severed all his connections in a fit of anger. Now, when he thought about it, he was of the opinion that even if he could have not severed the connections with the various gods, the connections with the gods that were present here should have been maintained.

    Earlier, under Chen Feng¡¯s barrage and his great pain, he had been unable to think properly. This had resulted in him making an incorrect choice. Now that he thought about it, he was actually able to think of many solutions to deal with what Chen Feng had done to him. These were solutions that did not even require him to sever his connection with the wristbands. He would only have needed to use abination of his abilities.

    So it turned out that he had indeed not been thinking clearly earlier. Luo Yuan sighed as he realized that overreliance was indeed rather terrifying. Luck Aura... Luo Yuan sighed sorrowfully. This ability had granted him smooth sailing all this while, but now it was the reason for his defeat. All his effort had been ruined.

    Bang!

    Another punch headed toward him. This time, Luo Yuan raised his hand and caught it.

    ¡°Did you think I would allow you to attack me as you wish?¡± Killing intent erupted from Luo Yuan¡¯s eyes. Without all that damnable damage dragging him down, he had no fear of Chen Feng. Now it was time for this Chen Feng to die. Even if the entirety of his n had been ruined and he now had to start afresh, nobody could stop him. So long as he killed this Chen Feng, he would be able to start his n again. He would be able to once again gather those people up and subject them to his control.

    Bang!

    Numerous terrifying forces sted at Chen Feng. However, before those attacks could reach Chen Feng, they were intercepted by the various gods. Those damnable fellows were helping Chen Feng.

    Luo Yuan¡¯s killing intent intensified. ¡°You all...¡±

    ¡°Let us do battle!¡± The gods all had sharp gazes. Never before had any of them believed in something this firmly. They would rather die than be controlled once more.

    Luo Yuan howled, ¡°Since you guys want to die, fine!¡±

    Bang!

    His godly power surged out and the battle erupted.

    Luo Yuan¡¯s and the various gods¡¯ godly powers collided and interweaved in midair. If this were before, they would not have the confidence to face someone like Luo Yuan. But today, Luo Yuan had been gravely injured, had lost all his believers, and had been once again seriously injured by Chen Feng.

    Right now, Luo Yuan was as weak as he could be. And thus, the various journeyman gods attacked together.

    Bang! Bang! bang!

    Terrifying godly powers exploded everywhere. At this moment, Chen Feng instead stopped his attacks.

    Qin Hai narrowed his eyes. ¡°Will Luo Yuan truly die from this?¡±

    Chen Feng shook his head. ¡°I doubt it. These gods are too weak.¡±

    All the major gods had died in their sh with the Sin God. Only these weak gods had been left behind. No matter how weak Luo Yuan was, he was not someone they could contend against. However, Chen Feng clenched his fists as he wondered if he himself would be capable of putting an end to Luo Yuan. After all, the first step of his n had been topel Luo Yuan to give up on everything. His second step was to put an end to Luo Yuan.

    Come!

    Chen Feng stepped forth. Just as he was about to attack, in the sky, the drifting clouds suddenly converged together and assumed the form of a picture. In that picture, only a single survivor was left standing, surrounded by numerous corpses sprawled all around. This picture was extremely indistinct, and it appeared rather bizarre, yet Chen Feng still had a strong feeling that the sole survivor in that picture was precisely... Luo Yuan.

 Chapter 818

    Chapter 818: Ready to Fight Only to Stare Around nkly

    Trantor: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

    These clouds...

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled. So the meaning of this was the final victor of this battle would still be Luo Yuan? These clouds... and these hints... Had that girl reached this level as well? Was Luo Yuan, even without the numerous life-forms under his control, still so powerful? Chen Feng had no answer to that.

    He took in a deep breath. ¡°In any case, I still have to give it a try, right?¡±

    Shua!

    He condensed all his strength, and just as the various gods were duking it out with Luo Yuan, an incredibly mighty power shot out of Chen Feng¡¯s hand. This was the strongest power Chen Feng could erupt with at present. This attack utilized both luck and misfortune and was amplified by his fake nascent soul.

    Bang!

    A terrifying power erupted, instantly piercing through Luo Yuan¡¯s chest. Luo Yuan, who had still appeared so mighty earlier, appeared to have been directly killed by Chen Feng.

    Shua!

    Suddenly, the entire worldpsed into silence. The various gods looked at Chen Feng in shock. Holy shit, a one-hit KO? They were all rmed. This strength... As for Chen Feng, he frowned. That did not feel like an illusion. The impact had felt solid, proving that his attack had indeed hit Luo Yuan. Was he truly dead?

    Suddenly, a heavy sound echoed.

    Dong!

    Again.

    Dong!

    Everyone¡¯s hearts pounded together with this sound. What sound was this? Everyone instinctively looked in the direction this sound hade from. Astonishingly, the sound had originated from Luo Yuan¡¯s body, which was sprawled helplessly on the ground. There, something seemed to be pounding.

    Dong! Dong!

    Akin to the throbs of a heart. Slowly, the frequency of the poundings became concentrated. As for Luo Yuan¡¯s body, which had been utterly trashed earlier, it suddenly recovered and even appeared somewhat stronger than before. Boundless power seemed to be converging in his body.

    This...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng recalled a certain ability.

    ¡ª-

    Name: Nine-Lives Cat

    ss: A

    Function: Protects the user¡¯s heart when fatal damage is received. The power of the damage received will be converted into a recovery power to instantly heal the user. The user¡¯s strength will be fully recovered and will even increase.

    Limitation: Only usable nine times in a lifetime, with an interval of no less than one year between usages.

    ¡ª-

    It was actually this ability! Chen Feng was rmed.

    This was an extremely rare ability, yet it was also incredibly useless. Why? Because this was an A-ss ability. ¡°A ss¡± generally signified formidable battle prowess. As such, those that selected this ability would forever be weaker than their peers that selected abat ability. A user of this ability would never be able to defeat those at the same level as them, since they would not have abative A-ss ability.

    And thus, despite this ability¡¯s astonishing survivability, it was rarely chosen. Moreover, Nine-Lives Cat was an incredibly rare gene in the first ce. Chen Feng could remember that, ording to the form, one had to be sure that the selected nine-lives cat had never used this ability once in its life. Otherwise, the cat¡¯s genes would not be usable. The number of times the cat had used this ability would be deducted from the person that had selected the genes of this particr cat. This was the saddest part of this ability.

    And thus, those that coveted this ability had to first use a unique method to kill a cat with nine lives without giving it any chance to resurrect. This was also why very few people chose this ability. Yet this was an ability that Luo Yuan had. Suddenly, Chen Feng thought of something extremely terrifying.

    This was merely one of the many abilities that granted resurrection. There were various other resurrection abilities in existence as well. Even though they were all extremely rare, they still existed. And since they existed, wouldn¡¯t Luo Yuan have them as well?

    Definitely. After all, Luo Yuan had the abilities of nearly every life-form in existence. If so, these resurrection abilities...

    Chen Feng hissed in shock. He finally understood the meaning of those clouds. If they continued fighting on in this manner, they would totally be ousted by Luo Yuan due to Luo Yuan¡¯s collection of astonishing resurrection abilities. They would never be able to truly kill him. With hundreds or even thousands of resurrection abilities in his arsenal, could one truly kill Luo Yuan?

    Moreover, all of these resurrection abilities were unique. Some might resurrect someone who died from curse abilities, or from the abilities of fleshly bodies, or even from spiritual abilities. Regardless of the method used to kill Luo Yuan, he would have a way of resurrecting himself. Killing him was fundamentally impossible.

    Dong! Dong!

    Slowly but surely, Luo Yuan fully recovered.

    His aura seemed to be even stronger now. As for the injuries he was still carrying from his battle with Ye, many of them had now healed. The Luo Yuan that was about to emerge from his resurrection seemed to be incredibly terrifying.

    Chen Feng did not hesitate.

    Retreat!

    Shua!

    Bringing Qin Hai and the others with him, he speedily fled. After all, they had already aplished their main goal here. Even though they had failed to kill Luo Yuan, they had still severed his foundation and his rapid growth. In the future, they could slowly look for an opportunity to kill him. After all, they could afford to wait now.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng and the others instantly vanished. When the surrounding gods saw this, they all nked. Left... just like that? Luo Yuan had resurrected. He appeared even stronger now. They had initially believed that Chen Feng would continue his barrage of attacks, allowing them to sneak some cheap shots at Luo Yuan as well. Unexpectedly, Chen Feng had departed without any hesitation. They all exchanged nces in dismay.

    Shortly after, they were all startled awake from their stupefaction. If even Chen Feng had fled, what were they doing, staying here? Waiting for death?

    Shua!

    Instantly, the various gods fled as well. As the heartbeat¡¯s frequency increased, Luo Yuan finallypleted his resurrection.

    Shua!

    He woke up from the darkness. A mighty power shrouded his body. His previously injured body was now fully healed. The Sin God had had various cards up his sleeve. As such, facing death, he had erupted with numerous trump cards capable of instantly killing major gods. As for Luo Yuan, he only had one trump card: his seeming immortality.

    What he had put the most effort in, the only collection of abilities he had truly organized among his numerous abilities, was his collection of recovery and resurrection abilities. These abilities had been reorganized to create aplete recovery system for himself, with each of these abilities closely interlinked together. As such, he did not fear death. On the contrary, after being killed, he woulde back even stronger. This was his ultimate trump card.

    He howled withughter. ¡°Hehehehe.¡± Amid his wantonugher, his body continued its transformation. He had returned!

    Bang!

    A surging aura sted out.

    Chen Feng! Don¡¯t you want to fight? And the damnable gods! Don¡¯t you guys want to take advantage of the chaos? Damnable fellows, let me show you guys what true strength look like!

    Shua!

    A terrifying aura converged around him. It was at this instant that Luo Yuan finally opened his eyes for the first time since his resurrection. His sharp eyes gleamed and numerous razor-sharp beams shot straight toward the distant horizon.

    ¡°Bring it on!¡± he shouted. Next, he stood there dumbfounded. His tsunami-like surging aura even paused awkwardly, not knowing where it should actually head. Where were the enemies? Luo Yuan had a stupefied expression on his face as he looked at the empty battleground around him. Chen Feng was not here. The various gods were not here either. One could say that, within a thousand miles, there was not a single life-form.

    You all...

    You all...

    Luo Yuan sensed the boundless power converging within his body, waiting for the right moment to erupt. His heart, which had previously been brimming with a heroic mood, went taut.

    How can you guys be like this!

    At a certain location, a youngdy was carefully drawing a painting. Mhm... Chen Feng should have received her message already, right? After all, that was Chen Feng. If so, what should she do next? The youngdy was softly drawing a painting when she suddenly chuckled as she saw what the painting was. So this was what was going to happen? In that case, this should end not far in the future.

    However, who would be the one to survive till the end? The youngdy frowned as she started reflecting on this question seriously.

    At this time, Luo Yuan, who had just awakened from his resurrection, was searching for enemies crazily. Everyone seemed to have vanished. Luo Yuan, who was brimming with energy, had no way to release his pent-up energy and could only forcefully st his umted energy at a nearby mountain.

    Bang!

    The entire mountain crumbled.

    Hu¡ª

    Only now did Luo Yuan feel better. What followed next was a sneer.

    ¡°Do you guys think it will end if you flee? Hehe. Chen Feng, do you know that I am at my weakest presently? When my strength grows, what will you use to fight me? Escaping now was an idiotic choice.¡±

    Luo Yuan was still furious. Those idiotic fellows believed that this would be the end? How naive. They must have believed that without the numerous life-forms supplying him faith, he would have no way of growing? Heh, he was Luo Yuan, the true number one person of this world. Even Chen Feng was not his opponent. Who could stop him? Since he was so powerful, he could once again regain what he had lost earlier by forcing those people to put the wristbands on again. The solution was indeed that simple.

    Shua!

    He departed. He remembered that there was a city of ancients nearby. This city had a poption of three million. This would be his first stop, Luo Yuan decided. This might be somewhat troublesome. However, he did not mind personally visiting all the cities worldwide to once again make them his believers. What was there to fear?

    Shua!

    He moved like the wind. Shortly after, he reached the city.

    Bang!

    A terrifying attack was unleashed on the empty air above the city. The originally tranquil city was suddenly engulfed by a boundless radiance, a radiance as bright as the sun itself.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Apanied by that golden radiance, a majestic and divine aura descended upon this city.

    Luo Yuan was way too clear on what these so-called ancients and humans mostcked and feared. He was also clear on the most efficient method ofpletely forcing them to submission. It was precisely absolute strength.

    Bang!

    A terrifying attack instantly sted at the center of the city. Instantly, the ce where the chief and the core figures of the city normally resided was disintegrated. A mushroom cloud soared as the bright explosion engulfed the entire city, a sight akin to the arrival of the apocalypse.

    Naturally, despite the showy and excessive effect, this attack only destroyed the city center. So long as the so-called chief, who was adept at inciting the feelings of the poption, was eliminated, the rest could be easily dealt with. These people would ultimately still submit before him. Done with the show he intended the residents to see, Luo Yuan slowly headed toward the ground.

    ¡°Submit or die.¡±

    His ice-cold voice resounded throughout the city. From the void, he walked down toward the ground. Each step and each footprint was extremely casual and slow, yet with each step he took, a shiny gold radiance was left below his feet. His divine aura roiled out, seemingly boundless.

    <i>This should do it. </i>Luo Yuan had a tranquil expression. Under his divine pressure, not a single soul dared make a sound in the entirety of the city. <i>Excellent. </i>Luo Yuan¡¯s mouth curled up, forming a smile. Finally, hended. He had no choice but tond. After all, if he wanted them to wear his wristbands, he had tond so he could personally pass them the wristbands.

    However, when he neared the ground, he felt that something was off. Was there some sort of plot here? Was this the work of Chen Feng again? Yet another ambush? Instantly, Luo Yuan¡¯s vignce rose. He forcefully stopped his descent.

    <i>This Chen Feng...</i>

    He spread his senses around to confirm that there was no danger before slowly continuing his descent. When he finallynded, he understood the source of the earlier odd feeling. This city... waspletely devoid of people! That¡¯s right, the city waspletely empty!

    Luo Yuan was dumbfounded. Where were they? Where was the huge ancient race? In such a huge city, not a single one of those three million souls could be found?

    <i>What¡¯s going on? </i>Luo Yuan was thoroughly stupefied. Something had to be wrong. Luo Yuan spread his senses around once again, and his heart chilled when he confirmed that this city indeed empty. What had happened? He was horrified. Could it be that Chen Feng had sensed his arrival and had killed everyone first?

    No. Chen Feng was not such a determined person. Luo Yuan decided to take a look around. And thus, he roamed the city, targeting those items that the original owners had been unable to take away in time or that still had some warmth in them. Finally, he found the reason for all this.

    This city... and its people... hadn¡¯t died. Rather, they had all left. The instant the wristbands had been destroyed, everyone had immediately packed up and moved. Littered on the ground everywhere were broken wristbands.

    Ka!

    Luo Yuan clenched his fists tightly. All gone... all gone! Since this city was empty, what was the point of his showy appearance earlier? Luo Yuan looked to the city center. The ruins of the destroyed building seemed to assume the form of an emoji sneering at him. This caused an inexplicable anger to rise within Luo Yuan.

    Bang!

    He attacked once again, destroying the ruins of the destroyed building.

    <i>You all... actually decided to leave this city?</i>

    Luo Yuan was filled with anger. His eyes shed as scene after scene yed in his vision. A powerful deduction ability activated. He wanted to see exactly where those fellows had gone.

    Shua! Shua!

    Countless figures and scenes shed past, unable to be joined together into aplete picture.

    Hmph!

    Luo Yuan snorted coldly. Such a scene signified that someone was trying to mess with his deduction ability. Only gods were capable of this. In short, those ancients had not only packed up and left in haste, but they had also immediately begun to believe in a new god. With the blessing of their new god, they had all departed. They deserved death! Killing intent surged in Luo Yuan¡¯s heart.

    Those damnable ancients would rather believe in some journeyman or elementary god than him, a true god surpassing even the major gods? How ridiculous.

    Shua!

    Slowly, some scenes became clearer in his vision. This allowed Luo Yuan a better view of what had happened. At present, the three million ancients were traversing a certain dangerous forest. At any given time, someone was dying or unable to keep up with the main party. This was, in fact, an iparably bitter journey. So this was the life they had decided upon?

    Luo Yuan¡¯s gaze burned. He couldn¡¯t believe that these fellows would rather live such a life. One ought to know that under his control, they would be able to enjoy a life with the greatest technology humans had to offer. Wasn¡¯t that better? How idiotic. He could hear the sounds of the scene he was seeing as well.

    ¡°Keep at it!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t give up!¡±

    Some people were encouraging theirpanions. Unfortunately, the deaths did not stop, and some were no longer capable of keeping up.

    ¡°I can¡¯t continue on anymore.¡±

    ¡°This is too tiring.¡±

    ¡°This is too dangerous.¡±

    Some people were on the verge of copse.

    ¡°Idiots.¡± Luo Yuan was merely evaluating their choice coldly. Just look at them. Regretting their choice now, eh? Serves them right!

    However, just as Luo Yuan was thinking that they would finally give up, the leader of the group spoke. ¡°You guys are giving up just like this? Have you guys forgotten your lives before? Do you guys not know that if you stop now, that demon king wille for you? Have you guys forgotten the fear of being controlled?¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡±

    As these words resounded, these seemingly helpless people actually started moving once again. This was quite the astonishing recovery. The mere mention of that demon king could actually bring forth such an effect! Finally, the scene vanished from Luo Yuan¡¯s vision. He wanted to see clearly what was going on, but he couldn¡¯t see any more.

    ¡°Hmph. Serves you right.¡±

    He felt somewhat proud. Just look at those people. Due to their choice, they were now better off dead than alive. Forget about that casualty rate, they were even being hunted by some demon king? Hehehehe. But then, who exactly was the demon king they were speaking of?

    Luo Yuan pondered this question for a long time. Suddenly, hisplexion became extremely unsightly. He had suddenly thought of a possibility: could it be that this so-called demon king was actually him? What the f*ck!

 Chapter 820 - The Final Godly Power

    <h4>Chapter 820: The Final Godly Power</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    The entire world was in chaos. Every life-form had escaped into the unexplored regions even though those regions were brimming with danger and were not a good ce to live. The various life-forms sought shelter from the various gods, thenpletely vanished from Luo Yuan¡¯s senses. Luo Yuan traversed nearly half the maind and still failed to find a single person. Only the shells of the various flourishing cities were left.

    Why had this happened? Luo Yuan¡¯s heart swayed slightly. However, his heart became as firm as stone again shortly after. Let alone emptied cities, even if the cities were fully destroyed, so what? So long as he seeded in his n, the entire world would be restarted, as time would rewind. At that time, everything would return to the correct beginning.

    ¡°You people will not be able to defeat me.¡± Luo Yuan stood up, his gaze firmer than ever. He was Luo Yuan, the strongest in the world. He had countless healing and resurrection abilities. Even with his serious injuries, he was recovering without stop. So what if he didn¡¯t have any believers? He finally gave up on his stubborn desire to gather believers.

    It was a waste of time and energy. He had wanted to assemble all the power in the world to fight Chen Feng. This would give him the highest sess rate in their sh. Unexpectedly, Chen Feng had made use of what he had done to deal a blow to him. Hehe, how ridiculous. If he couldn¡¯t make use of those believers, he wouldn¡¯t bother anymore. After all, his final goal was different. Luo Yuan gathered his attention and looked into his own body. It wouldn¡¯t be long before he achieved his final goal.

    ¡°Soon.¡± He took in a deep breath. As long as he finished this final step, he would be able to truly return to the past. At that time, everything in this version of the world would no longer have anything to do with him. Chen Feng? The various gods? Hehe. Continue hiding, then. They could continue hiding as they wished. After all, there wasn¡¯t much time left for them anyway.

    Shua!

    Luo Yuan vanished. This time, he wasn¡¯t heading toward the various cities. Rather, he was heading toward his original target. He wanted to use the shortest time possible to rewind time. Nobody could hope to stop him.

    ...

    At a certain location amid a continuous mountain range, Chen Feng and the rest were watching on as everything unfolded silently. Before his eyes, radiances swirled about.

    The humans, ancients, and various races had all followed different gods and headed toward the unexplored regions. If Luo Yuan wanted to manually look for them in the unexplored regions, he would probably be exhausted to death.

    ¡°Has everyone entered those regions?¡±

    ¡°Mhm. The majority of the various life-forms are now concealed.¡±

    ¡°Luo Yuan shouldn¡¯t be able to find them now.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡±

    Chen Feng heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, Luo Yuan¡¯s n wasn¡¯t wrong. After all, he was too strong. If he could locate those believers, he would be able to force them all to be his believers again. Chen Feng and the rest would be slowly pressured by him until they died.

    Fortunately, Luo Yuan had finally given up on this. Since the numerous life-forms had scattered into hiding, the difficulty level of locating them was incredibly high. For Luo Yuan, this was not even worth his effort. Thus, he had opted to give up on doing so. If Chen Feng¡¯s guess was correct, Luo Yuan¡¯s next target would be his true goal, the goal he had ascended to godhood to achieve.

    ¡°What do you guys think this actual goal is?¡± Chen Feng asked with a smile.

    Qin Hai shrugged. ¡°What else?¡±

    In fact, Luo Yuan¡¯s goal was very clear. Returning to the past, this was something everyone wanted. However, Luo Yuan would pay quite a bit more than an average person to achieve this. In fact, they did not even need to try to guess his next step. Soon, they began to receive updates. A certain god died at Luo Yuan¡¯s hands. A certain god escaped from Luo Yuan with grave injuries. And so on. These gods were those that had never worn a wristband before.

    Luo Yuan was gathering godly powers. The various abilities and godly powers he had were still not sufficient for him. To control the entire world, he had to first control all of this world¡¯s core godly powers. Chen Feng¡¯s group looked for the Forest Goddess to find out about the core godly powers of this world and were told that there were a total of 3,000 core godly powers.

    So long as one was able to control all 3,000 core godly powers, one would be able to control the entire world in the truest sense. This was also why the Sin God had been trying to cultivate more gods in the past. That was because he had wished to truly control the world. This applied to both Luo Yuan and Ye.

    Theoretically, there was no upper limit to the number of gods allowed to exist. However, the number of gods that could control core godly powers was capped at only 3,000. This was, in fact, quite simple to understand. It was simr to how there were many colors in existence, yet they were all made up of a few base colors. However, the gods cultivated by Ye, coupled with the gods that had existed since the Primordial Era, were still not sufficient to meet this requirement of 3,000 core godly powers.

    So Luo Yuan only had two methods. The first choice was to cultivate those gods himself. The second choice was to obtain the power by force.

    ¡°He has obviously given up on self-cultivation.¡±

    Chen Feng was sure. Controlling the world and gathering all the believers would be the easiest method to cultivate gods. This had been the optimal choice for Luo Yuan. Unfortunately, the n had beenpletely ruined by Chen Feng. Now, he could only choose the second method. He had once controlled the entire world. As such, Luo Yuan already had control of the powers of those that had used the wristbands. At present, what he was seeking was precisely the gods that had never used a wristband.

    Suddenly, Kong Bai said, ¡°How about the past?¡± Since Luo Yuan had control over the transmigration and luck abilities, it would be quite simple for him to return to the past. Ye¡¯s idea of controlling the world was a type of control through the various gods under him. What about Luo Yuan? He alone would be sufficient. That was the scariest part of all this. Moreover, he could even return to the past and duplicate those gods¡¯ godly powers if he wished to.

    ¡°He should already have control over the powers he can obtain that way. That is to say, the powers of the ces and points in time that he has been to are probably all under his control now. The only thing he stillcks is the present and future.¡±

    Chen Feng was sure.

    Qin Hai frowned. ¡°Can you not sense it with Luck Aura?¡±

    Chen Feng shook his head. ¡°No.¡± Their Luck Auras were counteracting each other. However, they suddenly thought of a certain someone, a youngdy capable of painting the future.

    ¡°Looks like we have to pay her a visit.¡±

    ¡°Hold on, look, what¡¯s that?¡±

    In the sky, the various clouds started converging together and assumed the form of a single digit: a three.

    No, the three only appeared shortly before trembling and changing into a two. It was also at this exact moment that they received news from Duma that Luo Yuan had appeared somewhere yet again to destroy a certain god. With this, Chen Feng¡¯s group understood what this number signified. There were only two core powers remaining before Luo Yuan had full control of the 3,000 core godly powers.

    Two...

    Chen Feng and the rest were shaken. So Luo Yuan had actually gathered so many of them?

    ¡°I guess it should be harder for him toward the end, right?¡± Kong Bai inhaled deeply. ¡°Three thousand godly powers that are the true essence of the powers needed by the world. The final two that hecks will most definitely be the hardest to obtain.¡±

    However, before he even finished speaking, the digit in the sky transformed into a one.

    Shua!

    They allpsed into silence. One? Their hearts trembled. It was also at this moment that the Forest Goddess told them that Luo Yuan had just paid her a visit. She had not resisted, allowing Luo Yuan to duplicate her power. Everyone sank into silence. So one of the final two had been the power of the Forest Goddess. That was eptable. After all, how could the core essence of a world exclude the power of forests?

    ¡°If ¡®forest¡¯ is also one of them...¡±

    Chen Feng had a vague guess about this. Right at this instant, the second part of the Forest Goddess¡¯s message arrived. If her guess was correct, the final core power should be misfortune.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled. So that was the case. Misfortune represented curses and disasters, and it was one of the essences of a world. If Luo Yuan wanted full control of the world, he would have to find Chen Feng. It was no wonder that he had not killed Chen Feng previously and had merely asked him to put on the wristband. So it turned out his actual goal was Chen Feng¡¯s power of misfortune.

    ¡°How did he figure out that you hold the power of misfortune?¡±

    Kong Bai could not understand. With Chen Feng¡¯s Luck Aura, Luo Yuan¡¯s Luck Aura shouldn¡¯t have worked on him. So how could Luo Yuan deduce that the power of misfortune was under Chen Feng¡¯s control?

    Toward this question, Chen Feng merely smiled bitterly. ¡°Through the process of elimination?¡±

    ¡°...¡± Kong Bai was instantly speechless.

    <h4>Chapter 821: The Only Way</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    ¡°Therefore, I am his target.¡±

    Chen Feng wore a solemn expression. All those godly powers had been copied by Luo Yuan, and Luo Yuan¡¯s next goal would surely be Chen Feng. He would try to get the power of misfortune through force, or perhaps he would think of a way to make Chen Feng put on the wristband. The moment he seeded... the world would rewind.

    Chen Feng, Kong Bai, Qin Hai, all these people would cease to exist. Everything would be gone.

    ¡°This is getting troublesome,¡± Chen Feng muttered. However, he soon thought of something. Was it truly possible for one to rewind this world after obtaining full control? After all, Chen Feng remembered that, among the 3,000 core powers, time was not included.

    ¡°No. Controlling the world is exactly what it says, controlling the world. Everything can be controlled apart from time itself. After all, even the world itself exists in the river of time. As such, even the world itself cannot control time. Unless... the Time God!¡±

    Duma was certain. After all, he himself had once touched upon the power of time. Naturally, the power of time he had touched upon was an incredibly low-level one.

    ¡°I once obtained a small amount of the power of time by fluke. I am able to recover a short duration of time. My daughter is capable of the same. However, there is a price for that. My life span is the price...¡± Dumamented. Life span?

    ¡°Yet you still dare to use it?¡± Kong Bai eximed in admiration.

    ¡°Oh, my life span is 90 million years...¡± Duma stated calmly.

    Everyone: ¡°...¡±

    ¡°Yeah, I almost forgot you¡¯re a turtle,¡± Kong Baimented. Suddenly, Duma gaze, filled with killing intent,nded on him. ¡°Oh, a majestic turtle,¡± Kong Bai added hastily.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Duma snorted before continuing, ¡°Thew of time is mysterious. However, others have stumbled upon some extensions of thew of time before, such as my recovery of time or Kong Bai¡¯s transmigration. However, making use of such low-level time powers requires a cost for each use. My ability requires payment in the form of my life span. As for your transmigration...

    ¡°You should rejoice in the fact that you have never messed with the past. Although your time travel involves true body moving through time, transmigration is actually a projection into a different point in time, a projection that is in iplete disharmony with the entire world. Your aura when you transmigrate is like a bright shiningmp, easily detectable,¡± Duma said with a sneer.

    Kong Bai was dumbfounded. It was no wonder that they could transmigrate easily without receiving many effects. Hold on, this did not seem right either.

    Kong Bai suddenly recalled something. ¡°But Qin Hai clearly...¡±

    Duma rolled his eyes. ¡°Why else would I have epted him as a disciple? I sensed an intense power of time from him. That was why I forcefully kept him with me so I could study him. To aplish that, I exhausted 5,000 years of my life span. And thus, the Qin Hai you people see now came into being.¡±

    Qin Hai¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°I thought you epted me because of my astonishing talent...¡±

    Duma coughed awkwardly and added, ¡°Yes, that was one of the reasons.¡±

    Qin Hai: ¡°...¡±

    So this was the actual reason he had been kept behind in the past? U.pdated b.y

    Chen Feng brought them back to the main topic. ¡°Therefore... If Luo Yuan wants to rewind time, he has to first control this power of time, which is independent from the 3,000 core powers.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Duma was sure. ¡°Such a power is something that one can only gain understanding of through transmigration and reincarnation.¡±

    Transmigration...

    Reincarnation...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng realized something. Wang Yao! So the reason Luo Yuan had taken Wang Yao was so he could train her into the Time God! So... that was why. Hold on. If that was the case, why had he suddenly transmigrated after his death back then? Even with Luck Aura... could that be the work of Luo Yuan as well? After all, Luo Yuan, who wanted to control all 3,000 core powers, would not allow the godly power of luck to be left on an alien world.

    If so, had that been the work of Luo Yuan? There was also Wang Yao¡¯s reincarnation... When Chen Feng recalled Luo Yuan¡¯s capability to erase one¡¯s memories imperceptibly, this was quite possible. Now that Chen Feng thought about it, was reincarnation something a mere organization could aplish? Perhaps even that organization had been assisted by Luo Yuan! Everything seemed to click together. That experiment... had in fact been Luo Yuan¡¯s tool for filtering possible candidates for the position of Time God.

    Countless people were allowed to reincarnate. Only the one who was able to return alive would be entitled to receive his assistance to ascend to the position of Time God. This was the only logical exnation for that experiment. In Luo Yuan¡¯s search, numerous talented boys and girls had died just like that. Their only goal had been to return alive because the act of reincarnation contained theplexities of time as well.

    Chen Feng and the others had believed that destruction of the experimentation ground would be the end of it all. Never had they expected that the destruction of the experimentation ground was but the beginning. Perhaps that was also the moment that those eyes from outer space started paying attention to Wang Yao.

    They were all iparably shocked. So it turned out that everything was the work of that Luo Yuan. So it turned out that the final keys deciding the fate of this world were in the hands of Chen Feng and Wang Yao. Suddenly, Chen Fengughed. ¡°In short, Wang Yao is safe for now?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Duma was certain. Since she needed to be made the Time Goddess, she was most definitely concentrating on cultivation. Luo Yuan would not dare to interrupt her cultivation. Naturally, regardless of whether she could sessfullyprehend the power of time, she would remain imprisoned in outer space, being forced to contemte the power of time.

    ¡°What if she fails?¡± Kong Bai asked suddenly. If Wang Yao failed, wouldn¡¯t Luo Yuan have done all this for nothing?

    ¡°Not possible.¡± Duma shook his head. ¡°Since Wang Yao has already obtained the seed of time, it is only a matter of time before she obtains fullprehension. Even if she doesn¡¯t want to obtainprehension, the passing of time will drill theprehension into her being.¡±

    So that was the case. Chen Feng finally understood. As far as Luo Yuan was concerned, Wang Yao was nothing but a time machine. After he obtained full control over the world, he would return to outer space to retrieve his time machine. Then he would rewind time, returning to the era he longed for.

    As such, for the sake of this world and for Wang Yao, Chen Feng had to survive this. He could not allow Luo Yuan to obtain the power of misfortune as well.

    ¡°Have you thought of what to do?¡± Duma asked softly.

    Based on their understanding, Luo Yuan would probably arrive soon.

    After losing the faith of the various life-forms, this fellow with terrifying strength had decided to forget everything and focus purely on gathering the 3,000 core powers, then rewind time. They werepletely incapable of defeating this fellow who presently had 2,999 core godly powers under his control. Chen Feng would not be able to, nor would any of them.

    They were aware that Luo Yuan was strong. However, they had never imagined that he was this strong. Back then, if Luo Yuan hadn¡¯t been willing to give up on his believers, consisting of all life-forms, he would have been killed by misfortune alone. That had been their one and only chance to defeat him. Unfortunately, Luo Yuan had indeed been willing to let go of his faith. Luo Yuan was now even more terrifying, to the point they had no hope of contending against him.

    ¡°Is there no other way?¡± Chen Feng looked at them.

    Everyone maintained their silence.

    ¡°Luo Yuan has an undying body.¡±

    ¡°Apart from the 2,999 core godly powers, he also has the unique abilities of the various life-forms under his control, including the gic abilities of humans and the unique bloodline abilities of some other races.¡±

    Chen Feng was sure that there was no chance he could defeat Luo Yuan in a direct confrontation. And the moment Luo Yuan arrived and got ahold of him would be the end for this world. Everything woulde to an end.

    Unless...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng raised his head.

    In outer space, Wang Yao, who was focused on cultivation, suddenly felt her heart throb.

    Pu!

    Suddenly, she looked toward that. At this moment, she felt an intense pain in her heart as an indescribable sadness surged within her. This feeling... She knew that something had happened to Chen Feng! She shut her eyes in pain. Luo Yuan... Had he finally seeded?

    Chen Feng...

    Suddenly, Wang Yao recalled the words Luo Yuan had said before he left. He had said that Chen Feng would definitely die. Regardless of whether his n seeded, he would give her a choice. She was aware of what he wanted. As such, she should be able to make the correct choice.

    If they returned to that era, she would be the Time Goddess of that era and Luo Yuan¡¯s sessor. She would be the one true god. At that time, how hard would it be for her to resurrect Chen Feng? So long as he could return to that era, Luo Yuan would not mind.

    Wang Yao sighed. ¡°So it turns out this is also part of your n.¡±

    She knew that each step had progressed as Luo Yuan nned. Despite the small mishap, everything had ultimately progressed as he wished. Wang Yao shook her head, no longer thinking about this. This was out of her control anyway. The only thing she could do was cultivate the power of time. She only had two options: passivelyprehending time or manually cultivating time, thetter of which would hasten theprehension process. No matter what, she would revive Chen Feng, even if the price was the destruction of this world.

    Different from Chen Feng, Wang Yao was not someone who would consider her friends, family, or anything like that, since she did not have any of those. The only person she cared about was Chen Feng alone.

    <i>I will definitely revive you!</i>

    Wang Yao¡¯s gaze became resolute.

    Hum¡ª

    Faintly, the power of time flowed around her.

    ...

    At this time, when Luo Yuan arrived within the deep mountain range, he was weed by an absolutely empty mountain range. Chen Feng was no longer here. Luo Yuan used Luck Aura to search for Chen Feng, but he was unable to find anything. This shouldn¡¯t be the case, as even though he couldn¡¯t use Luck Aura directly on Chen Feng, he could still find Chen Feng through others who were not immune to luck. Therefore, he was looking for Chen Feng using the process of elimination. If he located everyone, then the sole location he couldn¡¯t see would be Chen Feng¡¯s. After all, Luo Yuan was strong enough to scan the entire world.

    Now, the entire world wasid bare to him. Every corner of the world was in his view, yet no trace of Chen Feng could be found. How was this possible? Luo Yuan dared not believe it. Transmigration? Past? Future? Not possible. All channels had been sealed by him. Even he himself could not travel through time now. So where was this fellow hiding?

    Or perhaps he hadmitted suicide? As Luo Yuan thought of this, his heart leaped violently. That should not be the case, right? Suicide would return the godly power to the origin of all things. This also signified that after being given up by Chen Feng, the power of misfortune would return to the world andy dormant until the day came when a new god gainedprehension over the power of misfortune. This would be an extremely rare urrence.

    That shouldn¡¯t be the case, right? Luo Yuan¡¯s heart was all twitchy now. He had been waiting far too long for this day. He had finally been able to ascertain with Luck Aura that all of the 3,000 core powers were active in this world. This was why he had decided to return now. In his n, the time of his return had been fixed, as this was precisely the time where all the core powers appeared.

    Initially, he had indeed nned to kill Chen Feng. However, after finding out that Chen Feng had control over the power of misfortune, his only thought had been to first capture that fellow before forcing him to put on a wristband. In fact, his initial n hadn¡¯t been wrong. At that time, Luo Yuan had still been without a divine seat. If he killed Chen Feng, he might even have inherited Chen Feng¡¯s misfortune godhood.

    That might be why his Luck Aura had proposed killing Chen Feng when the n was still being drawn. However, he had failed to emerge victorious in that divine-seat trial. That idiotic Ye had gifted the divine seat to Chen Feng just so he could destroy Luo Yuan¡¯s clone.

    From that moment on, everything had changed. His only choice had been to wait until he captured Chen Feng alive. Unfortunately, the day had note. And now... that fellow hadmitted suicide. Damn it! Luo Yuan was furious. This single action of Chen Feng¡¯s had halted his entire n. After all, with the death of Chen Feng, he would have no choice but to patiently and carefully search for and capture all the fleeing believers. Next, he would have to start slowly cultivating gods, waiting for the various apostles to finally qualify to take on divine-seat trials. Updated b.y .

    Andstly, he had to wait until a person with talent in the domain of misfortune appeared, ascended to godhood, and became the Misfortune God. Only then would Luo Yuan be able to copy and obtain this power, obtaining full control over this world. Even so, the appearances of divine seats werepletely random. It might be a misfortune divine seat or a divine seat belonging to another godhood.

    If it was any other godhood, he would be able to use his Luck Aura to alter the chance of its appearance. Unfortunately, misfortune was a domain that totally ignored his power of luck. If he dared to use Luck Aura on it, perhaps the divine seat of misfortune would hide forever and ever.

    What if he let the divine seats appear naturally, then? Well, there were more than a hundred thousand of them. The mere thought of this made Luo Yuan furious. The probability of getting his desired divine seat to appear was likely lower than the chance of getting his desired card in one of the loot boxes of the card games he yed when he was young, right? He had been scheming for so many years and had finally reached this step with great difficulty, yet now he had to start gathering believers and cultivating gods, then wait for RNG to smile upon him?

    ¡°Chen Feng! Screw you!¡± Luo Yuan¡¯s furious voice resounded through the sky. He had truly never imagined that a day woulde when a single suicide would cause him such a big trouble. Perhaps Chen Feng hadn¡¯tmitted suicide? No one would do something like that, right? However, when Luo Yuan recalled Chen Feng¡¯s history and sacrifices for humanity, he had no choice but to ept the fact that this was indeed a possibility.

    <i>Chen Feng... are you truly dead?</i>

    Never in the past had Luo Yuan so wished for Chen Feng to be alive. s, no traces of Chen Feng were found. One day, then two days, then seven days... Time passed. Chen Feng never appeared. He had truly vanished. One might say that he had truly died. After one month, Luo Yuan finally gave up in despair.

    He finally confirmed that Chen Feng had indeedmitted suicide for a so-called righteous reason. Moreover, he even thought of a way to confirm Chen Feng¡¯s death. It was quite simple. Why was Chen Feng immune to the power of luck? Because he had been alive. If he was dead, he should no longer be immune to luck. Therefore...

    Shua!

    Luo Yuan activated his Luck Aura.

    ¡°Is Chen Feng dead or alive?¡± he asked.

    Shua!

    For the very first time, Luck Aura answered a question about Chen Feng: Dead.

    An ice-cold thought surfaced as Luo Yuan¡¯s eyes went wide. He was finally sure that Chen Feng was truly dead.

    Luo Yuan was still unwilling to ept this. ¡°How did he die?¡±

    Luck Aura started deducing. It only answered after a long time: Suicide.

    Luo Yuan: ¡°...¡±

    He stayed silent for a long while before smiling bitterly. So Chen Feng had trulymitted suicide. He would not be able to obtain more details, since Chen Feng had possessed the power of luck while alive. As such, Luo Yuan would not be able to obtain more information. The nearest he could get was confirmation of Chen Feng¡¯s death.

    What could Luo Yuan say? How brave of him?

    ¡°You won.¡±

    Luo Yuan was furious. He was obviously the oneughing at the end, so why was he feeling so ufortable now? What the hell was this sort of victory?

    Chen Feng had died, and Luo Yuan was deep in despair. Helpless, he had no choice but to bring this world under his control yet again. Those people had escaped to the numerous wastnds and corners of the world, and Luo Yuan had to bring them back. Not only that, he couldn¡¯t even kill casually. Otherwise, those people would choose to die rather than obey him. Perhaps this was due to his bad track record.

    Thus, Luo Yuan¡¯s journey to regain his believers was a long one. For some reason, his n to rewind time had been leaked. Now, almost everyone knew that he wanted to destroy the world as they knew it. As such, nobody was willing to follow him.

    Ultimately, Luo Yuan had no choice but to conquer them by force and erase their memories. As the strongest existence in the world, he began his journey to gather believers. In this period of time, only two believers had broken through into the apostle realm. This rate was quite pathetic, in all honesty.

    After all, he had far too few believers. If this were before, when he had controlled everyone, there would be someone would entering the apostle realm every minute. One month, then two months, then three months... time passed. Each day, Luo Yuan visited the numerous corners of the world, looking for the people that were trying their best to hide. After a long time, Luo Yuan finally reached three million believers.

    That¡¯s right, he had only gathered three million believers in three months. A lot of races would rather ept death than follow Luo Yuan. Luo Yuan had no choice but to patiently exin things to these people. If this were before, one would not dare to imagine that a person as powerful as Luo Yuan would bother exining his actions to some bugs. Yet now he had no choice but to do just that.

    ¡°I am indeed nning to reorganize this world. However, my followers will not be reorganized!¡± he said. A simple exnation. Yet some actually bought it and followed him. Since this world was destined to be destroyed, it was better to follow someone like him than to die, right? And thus, arge number of people submitted.

    Half a yearter, finally, one of Luo Yuan¡¯s apostles ascended to godhood for the first time. However, somewhat regretfully, the divine seat that fellow ascended to was that of a certain god... was it the Culinary God? Or the Gourmet God? Luo Yuan wasn¡¯t quite clear. In any case, it was a useless god as far as he was concerned. It did not matter, though. Luo Yuan was still optimistic that the future would be beautiful.

    Following the first one, more of his apostles would definitely ascend. Indeed, as the number of his believers increased, coupled with the great effort he put into rearing them, during the second half year, 10 of his believers ascended to godhood. Naturally, all of them failed to ascend to the godhood he wanted. Instead, a bunch of odd gods appeared.

    No, this was not enough. And thus, Luo Yuan started gathering even more believers. Naturally, Luo Yuan used his trump card for this: ¡°I am nning to reorganize the world. This new world will require new gods to manage. I will not make you guys wear wristbands anymore. Those willing to submit to me will have a chance to be gods. As for the rest... All shall be erased.¡±

    And thus, he gained even more believers. They became resonators and apostles, and they trained without stop to ultimately be gods. During the third half year, 12 apostles tried to ascend. During the fourth half year, 50 apostles tried to ascend. During the fifth half year, 100 apostles tried to ascend. During the sixth half year, 1,000 apostles tried to ascend.

    ...

    The number increased greatly. s, not a single one of them was able to stumble upon the godhood of misfortune, not a one. Was he so unlucky? Luo Yuan was unwilling to ept this. Could it be that Chen Feng had actually... Suddenly, Luo Yuan recalled that Chen Feng had been missing for a very long time.

    ¡°Is Chen Feng alive or dead?¡±

    ¡°Dead.¡±

    The answer given by Luck Aura was still as concise as ever. It was either a yes or no. There might be things Luck Aura did not know, but Luck Aura never gave a false answer. Thus, was this just bad luck on his part?

    ¡°Godhood of misfortune, where are you?¡±

    Luo Yuan sighed. He knew the probability of stumbling upon the godhood of misfortune was low. However, he had never imagined it to be this low. He shook his head and once again continued working hard on his believers. This was incredibly simr to the grind one had to go through in games when one wanted to obtain legendary equipment.

    Two thousand...

    Three thousand...

    Four thousand...

    ...

    The number of gods increased. With Luo Yuan¡¯s hard work over these few years, now half the world had submitted to him. At this point, Luo Yuan stopped going out to look for more believers, as it was pointless. At present, he already had millions upon millions of life-forms under him. That was half the poption of this world.

    The other half were still hiding in various locations, and looking for them would be too much work. After all, this world was too huge and those people were spread everywhere like ants. Moreover, they were hiding with the blessings of gods. As such, it would be quite time consuming to look for them. However, it did not matter. What Luo Yuan needed to focus on was helping his believers break through without stop until they became gods.

    And thus, gods appeared without stop. Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand...

    ...

    There had never been an era with so many gods. Even the era of the Creation God had had less than a hundred thousand gods. Yet now, under Luo Yuan¡¯s effort, after 20 years, the number of gods reached a hundred thousand. This number was quite terrifying.

    And yet Luo Yuan was not satisfied. Among the hundred thousand gods, not a single one of them had obtained the godhood of misfortune. Trash! You¡¯re all trash! Luo Yuan was furious. If this was some loot-box card game, he would have dropped the game long ago.

    He had originally believed himself to be the final victor. However, who would have expected that he would fail to gain full control over the world even so long after Chen Feng¡¯s death? Luo Yuan could imagine how, even in death, Chen Feng was still sneering at him.

    Luo Yuan raged. ¡°Damn it!¡± It had been 20 years! It was this very day that, suddenly, someone imed that Chen Feng¡¯s belongings had been found.

    ¡°Bring them over.¡± Luo Yuan became spirited. Soon, a small piece of paper was brought over. On top of it were some fading words.

    ¡°Do you think that your victory is assured with my death? With all my power, I have hidden the power of misfortune amid the radiance of a different godhood. You will never be able to find it. Perhaps the power of misfortune already resides within one of your subsidiary gods. I shall be waiting... waiting for the day he overthrows you!¡±

    Bang!

    Luo Yuan destroyed the piece of paper, not leaving even ashes behind. It was no wonder that he had been failing to find misfortune! That bastard had actually hidden the power of misfortune in a different godhood? So among those damnable fellows, one of them could very well have the power of misfortune?

    ¡°Very good. If so...¡±

    Luo Yuan¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. On the next day, hemanded all the gods to put on wristbands. This gave rise to a huge panic among the gods.

    ¡°Lord, you promised that we would not have to wear the wristbands.¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    ¡°You clearly promised us that.¡±

    ¡°Lord, you are the supreme god-king. You can¡¯t go back on your word.¡±

    The gods were all rmed. They knew what wearing the wristband signified. They also knew that putting on the wristband signified true fear and helplessness. Once they put the wristbands on, they wouldn¡¯t even be able to die anymore.

    ¡°Put it on.¡± Luo Luan decided to rule with an iron fist. After all, he now controlled half the world; he wasn¡¯t the lonelymander from all those years ago. And yet, some would rather die than obey thismand.

    ¡°I am not your opponent, nor have I ever thought of rebelling. I was the first to follow you, yet I never imagined that you would go back on your word... As an illustrious god-king...¡±

    Pu!

    He erupted his godly power,mitting suicide then and there.

    Luo Yuan was rmed. Damn it! There actually existed someone who would rathermit suicide than put the wristband on? Truthfully, Luo Yuan was not afraid of the chaos that might arise from this suicide. Rather, he was worried about the possibility of the holder of the power of misfortunemitting suicide...

    There shouldn¡¯t be such a coincidence, right? Damn it! He could not allow any other gods tomit suicide. Luo Yuan was truly given quite a fright by that suicide. He activated his unparalleled godly power as he decided to use force to make those gods put wristbands on. s, this action rmed even more gods.

    Not allowing suicide and forcing them to put on the wristbands? In other words... Luo Yuan was afraid that they wouldmit suicide? Heavens... What exactly was he nning to have everyone do? As they thought about this, their fear intensified. Some of them decisivelymitted suicide. These were the people that had experienced that era. As such, they were clear that the wristbands would turn them into nothing but puppets. As for the ones who did notmit suicide, they decided to rebel.

    A certain god noticed something. ¡°He does not dare to kill us!¡±

    More and more gods realized this and started shouting. ¡°As a god-king, it seems like if he kills us, he might be adversely affected as well.¡±

    ¡°That is why he is trying to use this method to exert control over us!¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    ¡°We are gods!¡±

    ¡°He doesn¡¯t dare to wantonly kill gods. This might be rted to thews left behind by the Creation God.¡±

    Some gods started shouting. Next, the gods that had been hesitating to kill themselves vigorously rebelled. They could all see Luo Yuan¡¯s hesitation and fear. Believing that they had discovered the truth, they rebelled.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Various godly powers surged out as the various gods erected their defenses.

    ¡°You all...¡±

    Luo Yuan¡¯s killing intent surged. To hell with ¡°the god-king can¡¯t kill gods¡± and ¡°thews left behind by the Creation God.¡± Such things did not exist. The sole reason he did not dare to kill wantonly was his fear of identally killing someone hiding the misfortune power, returning that power to the world.

    That was his only misgiving, and that did not signify he truly didn¡¯t dare to kill any of them. Unfortunately, to the various gods, his hesitation seemed to be due to a limitation left by the Creation God. Thus, the gods rebelled. Among the 100,000 gods, at least 80,000 rebelled.

    These were all gods that Luo Yuan had personally nurtured. He did not even get the chance to say anything before he was engulfed by a huge number of godly powers. Being attacked by gods he had personally nurtured... caused an intense anger to burn within him.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Boundless godly power spread everywhere. What would a battle between 100,000 gods look like? Now, this scene was here for everyone to see. The astonishing number of godly powers rmed the entire world. Shortly after, the escaped gods began to spread the truth. Those who had yet to submit to Luo Yuanughed heartily as they heard this. It seemed like their decision back then had been correct after all.

    What would a farmer do when the nts they had nted reached maturity? Why, harvest them all, of course. This was precisely what they saw Luo Yuan doing. He was harvesting the results of his hard work. The so-called ¡°not needing to wear wristbands,¡± the so-called ¡°nurturing gods,¡± those had been lies. His final target had always been having everyone wear a wristband.

    And thus, a great war erupted. Everyone was waiting for the end of this war. Could the 100,000 gods obtain the final victory? Perhaps... Luo Yuan would truly be killed by the gods he had personally nurtured? The mere thought of this cause one¡¯s heart to pound in excitement.

    s, three dayster, the battle ended. From the battlefield, only a single person walked out, his body soaked in blood, radiating a terrifyingly cruel atmosphere around him. That person was precisely Luo Yuan.

    At this instant, the entire worldpsed into silence. Luo Yuan had obtained victory. On the battlefield, 100,000 corpses were left. It was said that Luo Yuan had initially had some misgivings but had erupted in anger after being injured by the continuous attacks. As such, he had ignored everything and ughtered all the gods there. At this instant, the entire world trembled in fear. The ground itself was dyed red with blood. From this day onward, none of his subordinates dared to resist him.

    ¡°Put on the wristbands,¡± hemanded coldly. He had decided to kill the 100,000 gods so he could awe everyone. After the first kill, he had decided to no longer hesitate and kill them off as a warning to others. At the very least, from today onward, everyone would obediently listen to hismands. As for the other half of the world, the half that was still not under his control? Not much thought was needed.

    With his history of ughter, the members of the other half of the world would never be willing to submit to him. As such, Luo Yuan had no intention of wasting his energy trying in vain to recruit them. He would rather spend his energy and time nurturing more gods. In any case, the moment he obtained full control over this world, everything else would be meaningless.

    For now, he had to focus on nurturing more gods. This time, everyone had to wear a wristband. This time, not a single person dared to disobey him. This time, if the power of misfortune was indeed hiding among his subordinates, he would be the first to detect it.

    Soon, under Luo Yuan¡¯s iron-fisted rule, a new round of breakthroughs began. During the first year, 3,000 gods appeared. During the second year, 5,000 gods appeared.

    ...

    Ten yearster, the number of gods under Luo Yuan reached 100,000 once again. This was an astonishing number. s, the power of misfortune was still nowhere to be found. The power of misfortune had totally vanished. He had no way of locating it. There were times he that even began to doubt Chen Feng¡¯s death. However, Luck Aura confirmed time and again that Chen Feng was indeed dead.

    Moreover, Chen Feng had indeed vanished for thirty years. After all, Luo Yuan had more than one deduction ability. Each time he verified Chen Feng¡¯s death, he did it with over three hundred abilities. All his abilities returned the same answer: dead.

    As such, it was impossible for Chen Feng to have faked his death. He had no way of hiding from all of Luo Yuan¡¯s abilities. However, where was the power of misfortune? Nobody knew the answer. This was the sole godly power immune to the power of luck, as they were archenemies.

    ¡°It has been thirty years...¡±

    Luo Yuan stared into the distance. Was the probability of misfortune¡¯s appearance truly so low? Or perhaps... there was something wrong in the way he was nurturing gods? Luo Yuan could not answer his own question. He had a feeling that he had been doing something wrong.

    Thus, Luo Yuan resorted to superstition. Before the next batch of believers tried their hands on ascending, he told them to wash their hands more. For the next batch, he told them to wash their faces more. For the subsequent batch, he told them to wake up very early in the morning and break through at the same time.

    s, it all seemed pointless. Perhaps he should try using Luck Aura? However, there was no point in that. The moment Luo Yuan tried to use the power of luck to search for misfortune, he could sense an intense feeling of disgust rising from the power of luck.

    That¡¯s right, disgust. This was not one-sided disgust. In fact, both luck and misfortune were disgusted by each other. Ultimately, Luo Yuan gave up on this.

    Misfortune... Where exactly was the divine seat that held this power? What exactly had Chen Feng done before his death? Luo Yuan felt like his emotions were copsing all over again.

    It had been thirty years! Luo Yuan looked into space, anxiously waiting. The misfortune godhood...he was sure that this godhood stillcked an owner. If it had truly appeared, his power of luck would have pointed that person out in anger so he could eliminate that disgusting misfortune. And yet he had felt no such thing.

    Misfortune was truly missing. As for luck... it definitely did not want misfortune to appear. As such, relying on luck to look for misfortune would be pointless. However, what Luo Yuan could not understand was... was he truly so unlucky?

    Throughout the years, he had nurtured more than 200 or even 300 gods, aplishing a feat even Ye had failed to aplish. Yet were none of them the Misfortune God? He truly could not understand this. Where exactly was misfortune?

    ...

    Year 30 of the Luo Yuan Calendar.

    The world had entered a long period of peace. To be precise, half of the world. That was because Luo Yuan only had half the world under his control; the other half was still filled with hatred for him. Nevertheless, this was still Luo Yuan¡¯s era. These years, his focus had been on the godhoods, allowing the world to return to a peace of sorts.

    After all, Luo Yuan¡¯s goal was to rewind time. He would not waste his effort on managing or ruling a world that could vanish at any time. As such, he did not care much about this world. That was also why the remaining half of this world not under his control was able to obtain a temporary peace even though they were still hidden in various corners of the world.

    As for Luo Yuan, he was the almighty true god, an existence all living beings could only look up to. Since time immemorial, only three existences had reached such a level. The Creation God, the Sin God, and finally... Luo Yuan.

    The stages of godhood were separated thusly: minor god, elementary god, journeyman god, major god, and the final stage, one normally impossible to reach, true god. Chen Feng had once had the chance to reach this stage. If he had been able to continue growing with his numerous believers until he was a major god, followed by an umtion of several decades, he would truly have had a chance of reaching this stage.

    Unfortunately, he had merely be a major god before being defeated by Luo Yuan. A true god was a unique existence.

    The Ye from back then had maintained a certain degree ofbat power even after defeating over a hundred major gods all by himself. From this, the might of a true god was apparent. As for Luo Yuan, he seemed even stronger than Ye.

    Luo Yuan had been silently umting strength and gathering abilities for so many years. How could he not be strong? Using such a unique method, he had grown and umted without stop until he had finally reached a unique realm, bing a true god. Only true gods had the qualification to control the world.

    And thus, before the next true god appeared, Luo Yuan was unstoppable. And if there was one thing one could learn from history, it was that a new true god would not appear for a long period of time. Not only that, at present, there weren¡¯t even any major gods. Howmentable.

    As for the gods nurtured by Luo Yuan, regardless of their strength, they were still merely Luo Yuan¡¯s dogs. At present, the only major god in existence was the Forest Goddess. She was the smartest goddess, the only one that had always maintained absolute neutrality. Ignoring whether she could even reach the true god stage in the first ce, even if she managed to reach that stage, she would probably still maintain her neutrality.

    Given Luo Yuan¡¯s intelligence, he would definitely not seek trouble with this neutral party for no apparent reason. Even back when he had gone looking for her, he had merely copied her power before leaving. Moreover, he had only acquired the most basic copy of her power. After all, his goal was to rewind time, not to defeat all gods.

    ¡°When will such a life end?¡±

    ¡°Ai¡ª¡±

    ¡°Well, at least there are no wars anymore.¡±

    ¡°Hehe, have you forgotten how we used to live?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, that was a few decades ago during the era of Chen Feng. Sigh, that was totally the best era ever. Everyone lived a good life. There was sufficient food for everyone and all sorts of technological advancements for everyone to enjoy. The present era... is no different than the era of the barbarians, right? We have no entertainment whatsoever to speak of.¡±

    ¡°Entertainment? We are lucky to be alive.¡±

    ¡°Sigh. If we hadn¡¯t tasted the previous era, it wouldn¡¯t matter. However, it is easy for one to start partaking in the pleasures of life yet it is extremely hard to give up on them.¡±

    ¡°True.¡±

    A lot of life-forms shared this sentiment. After all, a huge majority of them had experienced that era. Unfortunately, none of them dared to say this to Luo Yuan¡¯s face.

    As for the life-forms hiding in the various corners of the world, although they had maintained a certain level of technology, it was nevertheless still iplete and crude. They were living rather primitive lives. These days, it was hard to even stay alive.

    Unknown to anyone, at a certain location amidyers uponyers of clouds, a certain youngdy was solemnly painting. Flowers bloomed all around her, painting an exquisite natural picture. The youngdy was extremely serious, her head asionally bobbing to the side as she smiled. Suddenly, she stopped painting.

    ¡°Time for you to die,¡± she softly said. Her voice was gentle, yet her words were rming.

    ¡°Fine.¡±

    Behind her, a youth who was seated cross-legged stood up helplessly.

    Pu!

    He stabbed his chest with a knife.

    Pa!

    He fell to the ground, dead, with blood everywhere. Shortly after, his corpse grew cold. As for the youngdy, she was still painting. She couldn¡¯t be bothered with the corpse. After a long time, a faint energy swept past. This energy, containing an abstruse and enigmatic power, brushed past the youth¡¯s body to confirm that he was indeed dead and then left.

    After a while, the youngdy shook the little bell she had on her hand.

    Ding!

    The door to the room opened. Duma walked in helplessly and looked at the cold corpse.

    ¡°Dead again? Sigh...¡±

    Shua!

    Godly power converged in his hands as he resurrected the corpse.

    ¡°Is there a need for this?¡± Dumaughed bitterly. ¡°You make me feel like some cheap resurrection machine bought from the mall.¡±

    ¡°Come on, I am the one suffering here,¡± the resurrected youth grumbled. Without a doubt, this youth was precisely Chen Feng. It had been thirty years. Each time the youngdy sensed that Luo Yuan was about to search for Chen Feng, she would tell Chen Feng. Then Chen Feng would have to die for real. This was the only way he could avoid Luo Yuan¡¯s detection. He had to truly die.

    Naturally, to avoid detection, all he had been doing for the past thirty years was cultivating, hiding, and sitting by the window and staring outside. The 100,000 corpses... tsk tsk. Truly violent. As for misfortune... hehehehe. He was still alive. As such, how could misfortune appear?

    Luo Yuan would never be able to find misfortune in his entire life if this continued. They were ying a game of timing. They would first have Chen Feng die for real. Then Duma would resurrect him. There was no weak link whatsoever in this n.

    Of course, this method was only helpful when it came to hiding from Luo Yuan. If Chen Feng wanted to truly put an end to Luo Yuan, he had to first ensure that he was sufficiently powerful. Back then, he had utilized his huge amount of faith to advance all three of his godhoods to the major-god stage. As for his thirty years of cultivation, he had been trying his best to fuse all three godhoods.

    That¡¯s right, fusion, like creating a brand new color by mixing three different colors together. What would be the result of the fusion of misfortune, luck, and Chen Feng¡¯s unknown godly power? What would appear from this fusion? Chen Feng was filled with anticipation.

    He had spent thirty full years on this. Finally, after thirty years of bitter cultivation, he was able to fuse all three godly powers slightly, producing a unique godly power, a power never seen before. Perhaps... this was a high-tier godly power?

    Shua!

    Chen Feng raised his hand. In his hand hovered a me-like power. It appeared very weak, as if any random breeze would extinguish it.

    ¡°You have actually seeded in the fusion!¡± Duma eximed in admiration.

    Back when Chen Feng had first said that he wanted to fuse his godly powers, Duma had merely looked at him like was an idiot. After all, not only was the fusion process exceedingly difficult, it also required time. Who would actually go and cultivate for thirty years right before the final boss battle?

    Nobody would give him such a chance, especially not Luo Yuan. However, it was truly unexpected that Chen Feng had thought of faking his death. No, to be precise, he had truly died. And thus, Luo Yuan, who was on the verge of sess,nded in an awkward situation. Instead, it was Chen Feng who was taking advantage of this situation to increase his strength without stop. If Luo Yuan knew the truth, he would probably be infuriated to death, right? That was very possible.

    Duma sighed deeply. ¡°Life is indeed filled with changes.¡±

    Among the numerous life-forms that hade into being on this world, humans had unlimited potential. The gic abilities created by humanity were extremely unique. In a sense, gic abilities were precisely what strengthened humanity, the race with unlimited potential.

    Luo Yuan was the perfect example of this. With a single gic ability, he had slowly transformed until he had reached this height, bing a true god. As for Lady Xiao Yue, she too had aplished much relying on only a single gic ability. If she faced Luo Yuan directly, she would not be able to take even a single casual attack from him. However, when it came to sensing and perception... she could easily outy Luo Yuan. This was especially true since Luo Yuan¡¯s power of luck did not seem too enthusiastic when it came to looking for misfortune.

    ¡°How strong are you now?¡± Duma was filled with expectation. Chen Feng, having fused three godly powers, should be extremely powerful, right?

    Chen Feng shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± How strong was he now? He didn¡¯t know. However, he should be at a level where killing a major god was extremely easy, right? He was unsure. After all, major gods hadn¡¯t existed in quite a while.

    ¡°A true god?¡± Duma guessed.

    Chen Feng rolled his eyes. How was it so easy to reach the true-god stage?

    Duma coughed awkwardly.

    ¡°Nevertheless... this is a good start.¡± Chen Feng was very satisfied. ¡°The three godly powers finally began to fuse. It won¡¯t be long before all three be an entirely new godly power. At that time, I will truly transform. Even if I can¡¯t be a true god, I will at least be a peak major god.¡±

    Chen Feng was sure about this, as he could clearly sense that he was quite formidable now. Truthfully, he had a very odd feeling. The so-called fusion was actually just the miniature person within him holding a godly power in each hand and forcefully mixing them together. That¡¯s right, mixing them. The amplification power originated from this fake nascent soul.

    When Chen Feng had tried fusing the godly powers of luck and misfortune, he had seen the miniature person within him grab at the two godly powers and forcefully mix them together, and thus a new godly power had been birthed. This wasn¡¯t the fusion of three godly powers in the truest sense, as it was essentially the fusion of two godly powers, two powers that were innately hostile to each other.

    What exactly was the power Chen Feng had gained after his godhood? He couldn¡¯t make sense of it. Ignoring luck and misfortune, what exactly was this fake nascent soul? Chen Feng had a feeling that he had to figure this out first. In the past, he had been too weak to do so, and after he¡¯d be a major god, he had been busy dealing with Luo Yuan. After all, studying this fake nascent soul was no easy feat. Now that he was free because he¡¯d faked his death, apart from cultivating, he had nothing else to do.

    Thus, now was the perfect time to study that thing. What exactly was it?

    Spirit was filled with suspicion. ¡°Is this the byproduct of you and the ex-Luck Goddess?¡±

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡± Sister, can you not be so melodramatic?

    ¡°This miniature person seems to like the godly powers of luck and misfortune a lot,¡± the Misfortune Goddess said. The consciousness of this miniature person was most definitely Chen Feng¡¯s consciousness, since it synced itself with each motion of Chen Feng¡¯s. What they were trying to figure out was the essence and origin of this miniature person.

    So long as the power of luck and misfortune approached the miniature person, they would be fused together. The miniature person was behaving like some sort of unique converter. This effect was especially pronounced after the start of the fusion. The fake nascent soul had appeared to glow with splendor after that brand new godly power seemed topletely fuse with him.

    ¡°Do you guys feel anything?¡± Chen Feng asked after thinking about it. ¡°This thing seems like he has actually eaten both luck and misfortune?¡±

    Spirit was instantly rmed. The Misfortune Goddess was startled as well. After thinking about it, that appeared to be the case. To hell with the so-called ¡°fusion of three.¡± In fact, this fellow was actually absorbing both luck and misfortune and transforming them into its very own power. The so-called ¡°new godly power¡± was actually this fellow¡¯s power.

    ¡°Excessive!¡± Spirit was furious. She had always believed that this new power was a result of the fusion.

    The Misfortune Goddess was filled with doubt. ¡°But why would you have something like this within you?¡±

    ¡°No idea.¡± Capable of absorbing two powers and transforming them into his own? If this was truly the case... ¡°Wait a bit.¡±

    Chen Feng left and dragged Duma, who had ascended not long ago, into the room. Next, he got Duma to carefully transmit godly power into Chen Feng¡¯s body. Carefully, the godly power was manipted so it would drift near the fake nascent soul.

    Swish!

    As his godly power neared the fake nascent soul, it vanishedpletely.

    It had truly vanished. Chen Feng remembered that a long time ago, something like this had happened a bunch of times. Subsequently, he had med it on Xiao Ying and had forgotten about it. Now that he looked at it...

    Mhm.

    Even as this was happening, Xiao Ying was taking a nap far away. At present, when that godly power vanished, only the fake nascent soul was around. What in the world? So it turned out that this fellow was capable of automatically absorbing godly power? Not only that, he would also gently transform the absorbed godly power into his own. Indeed, as Duma¡¯s godly power vanished, Chen Feng discovered a brand new clump of power within him. This was quite a wondrous scene, and it left Chen Feng dazed for a long time.

    ¡°Great Star-Sucking Skill?¡± [1] 1 Chen Feng eximed in admiration.

    Shortly after, he discovered that the power converted from Duma¡¯s power was different from what he had. To be precise, this new godly power was even more powerful, as it possessed the characteristics of luck, misfortune, and Duma¡¯s godly power. It felt extremely powerful. This fake nascent soul seemed to have devoured the properties of all three godly powers. Chen Feng proceeded to try to collide with Duma¡¯s godly power.

    Shua!

    Instantly, Duma¡¯s godly power was destroyed. This was despite Chen Feng only exerting a small portion of his power. The property of this new godly power far surpassed everything and was able to easily eliminate Duma¡¯s godly power, which was of a rather impressive quality.

    ¡°I seem to understand somewhat now,¡± Chen Feng said in amazement. First, this fake nascent soul was seemingly capable of absorbing spiritual energy to push his defense to the maximum. Second, this fake nascent soul was capable of stripping the properties of godly powers, allowing his own godly power to possess the properties of the stripped godly powers.

    If so, one final question remained. How exactly had this thinge into being? Chen Feng was sure that this thing had not appeared for no reason. Moreover, the more he thought about it, the more familiar it seemed to be. This was quite an odd feeling.

    Mhm...

    Devour... Absorb... Numerous powers...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s gaze shifted andnded on the distant sleeping Xiao Ying. He instantly hissed in shock. That couldn¡¯t be the case, right?

    Xiao Ying? Chen Feng was rmed. This thing couldn¡¯t have been created by Xiao Ying, right? Xiao Ying couldn¡¯t haveid eggs in his consciousness, right? As Chen Feng thought of this, his line of thought seemed to immediately clear up. Even more terrifying was the fact that when this idea surfaced, he couldn¡¯t get rid of it.

    Answered! Everything had been answered! Since the fake nascent soul had appeared, Xiao Ying had constantly been in a deep sleep.

    ...

    Chen Feng¡¯s thoughts cleared up. Could it be... This was truly... He felt a sense of difort as he thought of this.

    Suddenly, Spirit¡¯s eyes shone. ¡°Wow! So the fake nascent soul is your and Xiao Ying¡¯s child? He actually used your consciousness to give birth to a child. Awesome!¡±

    The Misfortune Goddess was simrly awed. She always maintained a steady disposition, but now her eyes were glowing.

    ¡°Spection! This is merely spection!¡± Chen Feng wiped his sweat. This was even more terrifying than facing Luo Yuan himself. Although various intelligent life-forms of various shapes and marriage between races were normal in this era, Xiao Ying was, after all, his bro! He saw Xiao Ying as a bro, yet Xiao Ying had gone and made a baby for the both of them? How excessive!

    Moreover, this wasn¡¯t an ability Xiao Ying was supposed to have. Something was wrong somewhere. Chen Feng took in a deep breath. He nced over at Xiao Ying. Since a random day, this fellow seemed to have been deep sleep all the time. asionally, he would wake up. However, he would always return to sleep shortly, forever sleepy. Chen Feng knew that Xiao Ying was in fact a snake. However, Xiao Ying had nevertheless still evolved numerous times. Why was he in constant hibernation? Something was definitely wrong.

    Chen Feng took in a deep breath, then forcefully woke Xiao Ying up. ¡°Xiao Ying.¡±

    Xiao Ying awoke in a daze. Ah?

    ¡°What is your present strength?¡± Chen Feng asked. He had always known that Xiao Ying was growing in strength. There was no helping that. Xiao Ying was capable of absorbing even godly power and had long been no weaker than Chen Feng. If Xiao Ying hadn¡¯t been deep asleep all the time, Chen Feng would have dragged him out to help out with things long ago.

    ¡°Wu.¡± Xiao Ying transmitted a series of thought to Chen Feng. ¡°Not sure.¡±

    A clear thought was transmitted to Chen Feng. Xiao Ying¡¯s life was a simple one. Eat and sleep. That was all there was to it.

    ¡°During this period of time, did you...¡± Chen Feng carefully probed, but he had no idea how he should pose his question. Holy sh*t. How was one supposed to even ask this question? <i>Have you given a birth to a baby recently? As my bro, how can you take advantage of me?</i>

    How was he supposed to ask this question? This was way too awkward. Furthermore, Xiao Ying was a snake!

    ¡°Xiao Ying, can you shift your form?¡±

    To the side, Spirit and the Misfortune Goddess were brimming with excitement.

    ¡°Stopmunicating with thought transmissions. Although it is the easiest method since this is the sea of consciousness...¡± Spirit shifted her wide eyes around and continued, ¡°Since you are already a god, can you talk now? Can you shift your form? You should be capable of both, right? Why not demonstrate it?¡±

    The Misfortune Goddess was also filled with expectation. This had so much potential for drama! If Xiao Ying¡¯s shifted form was a handsome and smart youngster, this drama would be even more interesting than that TV series they had watched not long ago.

    ¡°You two...¡± Chen Feng gazed at the sky helplessly. So it turned out that even gods could be yaoi lovers?

    Xiao Ying transmitted a question mark to Chen Feng. After all, this was the easiest method tomunicate in the sea of consciousness. Xiao Ying was inquiring if he should shift as requested.

    Chen Feng sighed. ¡°Do it.¡± He also wanted to see Xiao Ying¡¯s current level. After all, this was his bro, someone who had followed him from the very beginning. He could still remember the early days when Xiao Ying had still been hiding within his sea of consciousness and secretly eating spiritual energy just to grow. Unexpectedly, after so many years, he had reached such a level.

    Godhood... Perhaps.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance swirled around. Xiao Ying began to transform within Chen Feng¡¯s consciousness. Spirit and the Misfortune Goddess watched on with expectation. Even Chen Feng was feeling somewhat expectant. This feeling... was not unlike the feeling of a father hoping that his son could soar like a dragon. Xiao Ying had finally grown up.

    Shua!

    The swirling radiance converged, ending the transformation.

    Chen Feng was dumbfounded.

    Spirit and Misfortune Goddess were dumbfounded as well.

    This... waspletely different from their expectations!

    ¡°You...¡± Spirit¡¯s eyes widened as she stared at Xiao Ying, not knowing what to say.

    They had imagined countless time what Xiao Ying¡¯s humanoid form would look like. However, this appearance, this form, was not one they had ever expected, not even in their wildest dreams. Xiao Ying had a height of 140 centimeters. That¡¯s right. Xiao Ying¡¯s was extremely short. Chen Feng had once imagined that this fellow would assume a form with a humanoid head and the body of a snake. After all, Xiao Ying was an illusory snake, right? And thus, he had prepared himself to wee whatever form Xiao Ying assumed.

    s, this form he was staring at... Mhm... Xiao Ying wasn¡¯t just short. On Xiao Ying¡¯s forehead were two furry protrusions, resembling dragon horns as depicted in the legends. This was an evolution. The Xiao Ying from back then had evolved countless times and had absorbed a great amount of godly power. Finally, Xiao Ying had evolved to the strongest form, a draconic form!

    Compared to Chen Feng, Xiao Ying had the strongest bloodline in the truest sense. Naturally, Xiao Ying being a dragon now wasn¡¯t the main source of their shock. After all, although draconic evolution might seem weird, this was nevertheless an era of gods. Gods were everywhere; no specific race would be the subject of prejudice.

    The biggest source of their stupefaction was the fact that this shorty here had quite a stunning and incredibly beautiful appearance. Naturally, this wasn¡¯t the most surprising thing. After all, pretty boys were quite popr and trendy nowadays. However, what was truly shocking was what came when their gazes traveled downward... <i>What¡¯s the deal with those two clumps on Xiao Ying¡¯s chest?</i>

    As Chen Feng¡¯s gaze reached this part, his gaze instinctively moved upward to note that... there was no Adam¡¯s apple there...

    ¡°Ai, this might be a unique characteristic of his race,¡± heforted himself. After all, there were many races in this era. As the prince of snakes and having evolved into a dragon, it was nothing weird for Xiao Ying to have a somewhatrger chest. Next, Chen Feng¡¯s gaze continued downward.

    Mhm...

    He sank into a long silence over what he saw. He heaved an extremely long sigh and sorrowfully said, ¡°We promised each other to be bros for life. So where has that thing on your lower body gone to?¡±

    Spirit red at him ferociously. ¡°Piss off!¡± Next, both she and the Misfortune Goddess helped Xiao Ying put on some clothes. That¡¯s right. Xiao Ying was a female as well.

    ¡°I... What¡¯s wrong with me?¡± Xiao Ying was puzzled. Evidently, she was clueless about what was going on.

    Chen Feng maintained his silence. He recalled his feeling of wishing for his son to sour like a dragon earlier before looking at the clothed Xiao Ying before him that was stunningly beautiful. Finally, his gazended on the distant fake nascent soul. A thought suddenly surfaced: perhaps there would be a sequel to the Oni Chichi series [1] <sup>1</sup> soon?

 Chapter 828 - Astonishing Strength

    <h4>Chapter 828: Astonishing Strength</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    Why was Xiao Ying female? Chen Feng could not understand this. Because of how naughty she had been when they first met, them alwaysmunicating through thought transmission, Xiao Ying signing the marriage contract with Ming Yue on his behalf, and the way Xiao Ying¡¯s attitude conformed to his expectations, he had never seen Xiao Ying as a female.

    Initially, he had merely seen Xiao Ying as a pet and had never considered her gender. Later, he had treated Xiao Ying as a bro and had thus stopped considering everything else. Now it seemed like he had been gravely mistaken... especially since that fake nascent soul¡¯s attributes were nearly identical to Xiao Ying.

    Suddenly, the sea of consciousnesspsed into silence. It would be pointless to ask Xiao Ying about this. After all, apart from sleeping and eating, this fellow waspletely clueless about everything. Naturally, Chen Feng was somewhat excited after finding out that Xiao Ying was a loli as well. Mhm... No, he should not think such thoughts; Xiao Ying was a bro, even if this bro was a she! Chen Feng shook his head as he discarded those thoughts.

    He looked at the fake nascent soul and gently asked, ¡°Xiao Ying, do you know what¡¯s up with this thing?¡±

    ¡°...¡± Xiao Ying gave Chen Feng an odd nce. ¡°My creation, of course.¡±

    Chen Feng nearly vomited blood in shock. Even Spirit and the Misfortune Goddess were rmed. Evidently, none of them had expected Xiao Ying to be so calm while saying such a thing. So this thing was truly Xiao Ying¡¯s child?

    ¡°The child of you and Ming Yue?¡± asked Chen Feng.

    ¡°Nope. Yours,¡± Xiao Ying replied seriously.

    Shua!

    Once again, the sea of consciousnesspsed into silence. Sigh. Spirit mourned for Wang Yao. Just look at this. She hadn¡¯t been gone that long, yet Chen Feng already had a child.

    A resounding boom erupted in Chen Feng¡¯s mind. ¡°Mine?¡± Instantly, scenes from numerous melodramatic plots he had watched yed before his eyes.

    ¡°Yeah.¡± Xiao Ying tipped her head to the side and continued, ¡°After my draconic evolution, my body transformed. My original form was a shell of consciousness that was subsequently shed during the evolution. I felt like it was quite a waste to just throw it away. As such, I allowed it to fuse with your consciousness to give birth to a body with no consciousness.¡±

    Oh. So that was the case. Suddenly, Chen Feng understood.

    Spirit sneered. ¡°You seem quite disappointed, hearing that ?¡±

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡± He coughed awkwardly.

    Chen Feng summed it up. ¡°In short, the fake nascent soul is the shell you left behind after your draconic evolution?¡±

    ¡°Not quite.¡± Xiao Ying gave it some thought and exined, ¡°It would not have transformed with a mere shell. For this thing toe into being, part of your consciousness had to fuse with the shell.¡±

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡±

    In short, this thing was still the child of him and Xiao Ying. Fine. He could ept this setting. Ever since he found out that Xiao Ying was in fact a little dragon loli, his eptance level for drama had increased. How much more dramatic could this get? He wasn¡¯t scared anymore.

    And thus, Chen Feng finally understood the origin of this fake nascent soul. Perhaps it was due to Xiao Ying¡¯s terrifying attribute as an illusionary snake, or perhaps it was due to Chen Feng¡¯s unique consciousness. When the two merged and with the unknown assistance of Luck Aura, a unique fake nascent soul was created, one capable of devouring godly power and making that godly power his.

    If so... Suddenly, Chen Feng thought of a certain person. If Luo Yuan could copy everyone¡¯s abilities, why couldn¡¯t he do the same? If he could absorb all 3,000 core godly powers and assume control over time itself...

    Oh, that did not seem like it would work. Chen Feng recalled that many of the so-called 3,000 core powers were now exclusive to Luo Yuan. Moreover, not all of them were offensive powers. As such, it wouldn¡¯t even be possible to bait Luo Yuan into unleashing those powers. He had no choice but to give up on this idea.

    If so... he could only grow stronger. Luo Yuan had merely copied all abilities to help him be stronger. Now, he no longer had anything new to copy and had to rely on himself to continue growing. Chen Feng, with his fake nascent soul, was different. He could absorb everything in existence, devour everything and then make it his own. Thus, the more godly powers Chen Feng allowed the fake nascent soul to devour, the stronger he would be.

    He did not need to think about the so-called core godly powers, nor did he have to consider whether the powers he absorbed were useful powers. He only needed to absorb them to increase the strength of his godly power. If so, what if he could absorb every godly power? At that time, with the assistance of the fake nascent soul, how powerful would he be? The mere thought caused Chen Feng to surge with emotion.

    Perhaps the time hade for him to leave his hiding. He had initially believed that he would have to fake his death for a very long time before he was sufficiently powerful and wait until Luo Yuan was on the verge of a total mental copse to eliminate him. That would take a very long time. Now, Xiao Ying had given him a new option.

    Naturally, before leaving, Chen Feng tested Xiao Ying¡¯s present strength. As a new dragondy, Xiao Ying¡¯s strength could only be described with the word ¡°terrifying.¡± Back then, Xiao Ying had been capable of freely shifting her body between the illusory world and the real world. Now, Xiao Ying could do the same to attacks.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng¡¯s attack shot out. Just as it was about tond on Xiao Ying, she raised her hand. Instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s attack transformed into an illusion. Just like that, that powerful attack phased through Xiao Ying¡¯s body without doing any damage whatsoever. This was Xiao Ying¡¯s present strength. It was incredibly shocking. One could say that she was second only to Luo Yuan.

    ¡°I can no longer devour.¡± Xiao Ying nted her head and regretfully said, ¡°All my previous abilities have been given to him. The only ability I kept for myself is the state-shifting ability.¡±

    The simpler an ability was, the stronger it could be. There was no need for umtion or cultivation. This single ability was sufficient to make Xiao Yingparable to a true god. Perhaps, one day, Xiao Ying would actually be a true god. After all, Xiao Ying, having evolved into a dragon, was not an existence a normal god couldpare to.

    However, at present, the scarier person was Chen Feng. Not only did he have the fake nascent soul at his disposal, but he also had both luck and misfortune at his side. In fact, Xiao Ying¡¯s fake nascent soul wasn¡¯t overpowered in any way. After all, the growth of this fake nascent soul was incredibly difficult andplicated.

    Fortunately, with luck and misfortune, this was not such a difficult feat. This was especially true since these two opposing powers were now working together.

    Shua!

    The brand new godly power bloomed. Once again, Xiao Ying waved her hand as she tried shifting the attacking godly power into an illusory form. Shockingly, this new godly power shifted much more slowly than ordinary godly powers did. Evidently, this new godly power was somewhat immune to this shift.

    This was merely a fusion of three godly powers. What if there were more? Perhaps... the resulting godly power would bepletely immune to this shift? Chen Feng was filled with expectation. Shortly after, Chen Feng and Xiao Ying finished their preparations and set off. Their target? All the gods still not under Luo Yuan¡¯s control. Chen Feng was sure that he wouldn¡¯t even need long to gather all their powers.

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    Year 31 of Luo Yuan¡¯s era.

    The dusky sky continued to give off an oppressive feeling. Although only half of the world was under Luo Yuan¡¯s control, this half of the world was the center of the, thergest continuous region in the world. The dense aura emanating from this civilization shone brightly upon various hidden life-forms.

    ¡°He seems to have gotten even stronger...¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    ¡°When the 100,000 gods rebelled, I thought his era would end.¡±

    ¡°Sigh. Who could have guessed this result?¡±

    Countless life-forms sighed. Luo Yuan was too powerful, to the point that everyone despaired at his strength. A lot of the life-forms lived in constant fear, even ones that weren¡¯t living within the region ruled by Luo Yuan. Everyone was afraid that one day, this part of the world would be conquered by Luo Yuan as well, subjecting them to lives worse than death.

    They were all waiting for a powerful existence to rescue them. s, the hero they hoped to see never arrived. What did arrive was an odd and mysterious person. He was clothed fully in ck, and his appearance couldn¡¯t be seen clearly. He appeared in region after region, challenging various gods without stop.

    ¡°Challenging gods?¡±

    ¡°What is he nning to do?¡±

    ¡°Is he sick?¡±

    ¡°In the present world, everyone is bitterly cultivating to be stronger. Why is someone triggering internal strife?¡±

    ¡°No idea.¡±

    They could not understand his purpose. However, they couldn¡¯t reject his challenges. Once, a god rejected the challenge. As a result, the ck-clothed man chased after him just to beat him up, putting him in an awkward conundrum.

    Thus, they had no choice but to ept the challenges. Fortunately, that ck-clothed man did not seem to have any intention of killing them. Even after challenging numerous gods, not a single one had been killed. From minor gods to journeyman gods, every god was challenged. After all, the gods in this part of the world were from the earlier era, and they were rather low in amount. After the ck-clothed man finished here, he moved on to the part of the world ruled by Luo Yuan. This was the moment the various life-forms not under Luo Yuan¡¯s rule were shocked.

    ¡°He actually went to Luo Yuan¡¯s territory?¡±

    ¡°Heavens!¡±

    ¡°The gods there are somewhat terrifying, right?¡±

    ¡°Forget about their strength; the main issue is their number. Moreover, Luo Yuan is there as well. If the ck-clothed man ends up captured, things will be truly dangerous for him.¡±

    At this instant, countless life-forms had their gazes focused on Luo Yuan¡¯s empire. What exactly was that mysterious person trying to do? Soon, that mysterious person began to challenge the 100,000 gods there. Regardless of whether or not they epted his challenge, he would charge forth and deliver the challenged party a beating, forcing them into a fight.

    Such a brutish and idiotic method shocked the life-forms not under Luo Yuan¡¯s rule.

    ¡°He is finished.¡±

    ¡°Has this guy gone crazy? Does he think that he is still in the other half of the world?¡±

    ¡°Doing this in Luo Yuan¡¯s territory will attract Luo Yuan¡¯s attention. At that time, I reckon he will die without even realizing how it happened.¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    Countless people were rmed. Sure enough, it wasn¡¯t long before even Luo Yuan took notice of this person. His first impression was that this fellow was courting death. Luo Yuan did not care about the lives of the gods under him. However, he could not tolerate others messing about in his domain. His n could not be messed up by some troublemaker.

    He had spent thirty years bitterly nurturing gods and was already in a bad mood. As such, he would not allow anyone to create trouble. Thissted until he heard the slogan the mysterious person seemingly yelled all the time. In the course of the mysterious person¡¯s challenges, these were the only words he said:

    ¡°I am not a god. My goal is to ascend to godhood. You are all gods with trashy godhoods. If I ascend, I will most definitely ascend to a higher-tier godhood. Thus, before that, I shall first defeat you trash gods as proof to myself and as a drive to make myself stronger.¡±

    The moment these words spread, countless people were rmed. So this fellow was not a god yet? Could it be that...

    ¡°Damn it!¡±

    ¡°If we had known that earlier, we would have kept him on our side.¡±

    ¡°Capable of challenging a god without being a god? After ascending, he will be at least a major god. If he receives specialized care, he will probably be able to challenge even Luo Yuan.¡±

    ¡°Heavens.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s over. How did we allow him to go over to Luo Yuan¡¯s territory?¡±

    ¡°Who knows? This fellow is quite an idiot. He kept silent while he was here. The moment he arrived on Luo Yuan¡¯s side, he started yelling his slogan. How excessive!¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    ¡°Sigh, Luo Yuan will most certainly kill him.¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    They were all deeply worried. They knew that they had probably missed their sole chance. However, surprising them all, Luo Yuan did not kill this person. On the contrary, he actually allowed his subordinate gods to ept the challenge one by one. He even issued an order saying that each of them had to ept the challenge at least once.

    That¡¯s right, this was Luo Yuan¡¯smand.

    ¡°Higher-tier godhood?¡±

    Luo Yuan smiled. He knew that what he had been waiting thirty years for might have finally arrived. Perhaps he had been looking in the wrong direction all along. Only those that were powerful enough, such as this mysterious person or that Chen Feng, would be qualified to challenge the godhood of misfortune. Perhaps this was the way to go about it.

    Since that fellow wanted to challenge gods, Luo Yuan would allow it. Moreover, in order to ensure that his Luck Aura would not interrupt the arrival of the godhood of misfortune, Luo Yuan made sure to not get involved in anything regarding that person. Naturally, he also had to ensure that the challenger stayed alive. Thus, with Luo Yuan¡¯s secret protection, Chen Feng¡¯s journey of challenges proceeded incredibly smoothly.

    Nearly 100,000 gods were challenged by Chen Feng. This was incredibly smooth. It far surpassed even Chen Feng¡¯s own imagination. In his original n, he had expected Luo Yuan to not get involved after yelling those words. Unexpectedly, the anxious Luo Yuan had decided to help him in his growth. How perfect.

    Indeed, his decision to die had been the correct one. If he had merely escaped or gone missing, with Luo Yuan¡¯s character, the moment a mysterious challenger appeared, Luo Yuan would have been filled with suspicions. Only by truly dying for thirty years had Luo Yuan finally forgotten about him. Even when a mysterious person appeared, it never crossed Luo Yuan¡¯s mind that this might be Chen Feng, merely the appearance of a talented person.

    Chen Feng was filled with gratitude toward Luo Yuan. At present, the strength within him was off the charts. After all, he had over 100,000 godly powers contained within him. With the fusion of the fake nascent soul, a brand new power would be formed. At present, both luck and misfortune were working overtime, and the fake nascent soul was surrounded by various powers. Evidently, the digestion of these powers was still going on.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng said, ¡°I have a feeling. I am about to break through.¡±

    Break through? Their hearts trembled. Chen Feng was already a major god. If he were to break through, he would be a true god! As they thought of this, their eyes shone. In other words, the moment Chen Feng was done fusing all the new godly powers he had gained, he could probably gainprehension of the profoundness of a true god and truly be a true god.

    That progress was quite logical. After all, he had absorbed more than 100,000 godly powers epassing all aspects of life. Wouldn¡¯t thebination of all these powers be equivalent to a true god?

    Chen Feng frowned. ¡°Still...cking something.¡± He had an ufortable feeling, as if the path had been open but was now covered by a barrier. ¡°Perhaps... I should look for...¡± he said.

    Suddenly, Duma appeared. ¡°Hold on. Xiao Yue sent me here to do something.¡±

    Chen Feng sighed as he heard this. Xiao Yue would only look for him for one single reason.

    Pu!

    Chen Fengmitted suicide. After a long time, Duma resurrected once again him. However, this time around, the resurrection took a very long time. It nearly failing toward the end. Even after the resurrection, Chen Feng had a pale expression.

    ¡°I don¡¯t think you can continue doing this.¡± Duma sighed. ¡°A trace of a true god¡¯s aura is already contained within you. When you are done with the fusion, I will no longer be able to resurrect you. At that time, any death will be a true death.¡±

    ¡°Perhaps the moment you be a true god, your concealment will be exposed,¡± Duma said with a solemn expression. He was no longer capable of keeping up with Chen Feng strengthwise. When Chen Feng broke through to the true god stage, they would not be able to hide the fluctuations from the breakthrough from Luo Yuan. A casual investigation would reveal the truth about Chen Feng. Next, the anger Luo Yuan had umted over several decades would most certainly result in a huge battle.

    What would the odds be like in a battle between Chen Feng, as a new true god, and Luo Yuan, a veteran true god? Duma was unsure.

    Chen Feng suddenly recalled what he had wanted to said before this suicide. ¡°There is still one godly power I have yet to fuse with.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Duma was clearly still stuck on the previous topic. The next day, Chen Feng brought them and visited a unique existence: the Forest Goddess. That¡¯s right. It was precisely this Forest Goddess that had beenpletely neutral and hadn¡¯t gotten involved in the affairs of the world at all. In Ye¡¯s era, Chen Feng¡¯s era, and the subsequent era of Luo Yuan, the Forest Goddess had never be anyone¡¯s enemy and had never thought of getting involved with any party.

    This was how she had stayed alive until today. In Chen Feng¡¯s eyes, this person had always been an enigmatic existence. Naturally, he did not realize that as far as the Forest Goddess was concerned, he was the enigmatic one.

    ¡°You are actually still alive?¡± She didn¡¯t dare to believe this. Given Luo Yuan¡¯s strength, how could anyone hide the fact that they were still alive from him?

    ¡°Hehe. I have merely been maintaining a low profile,¡± Chen Feng said in a low voice.

    The Forest Goddess shook her head and sighed. Indeed, none of these fellows were simple existences.

    ¡°What do you want?¡±

    She was aware that since Chen Feng hade, he definitely had something he needed from her. When Luo Yuan had visited, he had requested her godly power. She had given him what he wanted, as she had known the price she needed to pay if she wanted to remain free in thisnd.

    ¡°I need your godly power,¡± Chen Feng said solemnly.

    ¡°The basic version?¡± the Forest Goddess said with a faint smile. What Luo Yuan had wanted was merely her type of godly power as part of his collection. As such, she had given him the basic version of her godly power.

    ¡°That is fine.¡± Chen Feng paused, then coughed and added, ¡°Naturally, it would be even better if you could give me an updated portion of your godly power...¡±

    An updated version of her godly power was in fact quite an excessive request. One ought to know that with this request, the Forest Goddess would have to duplicate a copy of the entirety of her present power.

    She shook her head. ¡°Fine.¡± After all, this was not the first time she had met Chen Feng, though their rtionship had never been a harmonious one. However,pared to the era of Luo Yuan, she much preferred the era of Chen Feng.

    She stretched out her hand. ¡°Take it.¡±

    Hum¡ª

    Boundless godly power converged around Chen Feng. One after another, the power unique to the Forest Goddess appeared. This was the terrifying power of the only peak major god that had survived from the Primordial Era to the present era.

    Bang!

    The surging power charged at Chen Feng. Chen Feng realized how strong the Forest Goddess was. He was made aware of how lucky he had been when he first crossed swords with her back then.

    Bang!

    He was totally submerged in the godly power of the forest. Fortunately, Chen Feng was not the same as before. With 100,000 godly powers within him, he had quite a lot of endurance. As such, he was able to take on this intense godly power.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Gradually, the godly power calmed down. At this instant, the power within Chen Feng finally reached a certain summit after undergoing numerous transformations. His next point of growth was the point where he would enter the true god realm.

    ¡°Can¡¯t grow anymore.¡± His gaze was sharp. The only way he could grow further was by breaking through. After fusing with the godly power of forest, the barrier that seemed to have been obstructing him appeared to have blurred. Chen Feng had a feeling that so long as he wished so, he would be able to enter the true god stage anytime he wished.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you neutral?¡±

    Chen Feng couldn¡¯t help but have a sense of respect toward this goddess. He had never expected that, during his crucial moment, it would be this Forest Goddess that provided him with this crucial aid. One ought to know that even when Luo Yuan came, she only gave him a small amount of a basic version of her godly power.

    The Forest Goddess chuckled. ¡°True neutrality does not exist... So-called ¡®neutrality¡¯ is merely a position one assumes to gain better conditions, a position one assumes before discovering the proper person to put one¡¯s weight behind. Now I have found that person.¡± As she finished her words, she looked at Chen Feng silently. Chen Feng instantly understood her motivation.

    He expressed his gratitude earnestly. ¡°Many thanks.¡± Next, he left speedily. There was no helping that. Even though this senior Forest Goddess appeared so young, she was, in fact, incredibly old. Perhaps she had chosen Chen Feng due to his character. The gaze she had looked at Chen Feng with had been filled with kindness, greatly resembling the old granny that used to take care of him.

    What else he could do but run? However, shortly after leaving the Forest Goddess¡¯s territory, a servant of hers came bearing a message. ¡°I sensed the power of misfortune and luck in your body. I don¡¯t know why you have three godhoods in you; however, be aware that the moment you be a true god, all these godhoods will vanish, leaving behind only a single godhood, the single divine seat of a true god.¡±

    Bang!

    Everyone¡¯s heart trembled. So these divine seats would all vanish? Suddenly, Chen Feng realized something. It would not matter if his or the Luck Goddess¡¯s divine seat vanished. However, if the Misfortune Goddess¡¯s divine seat vanished and returned to the world and was subsequently obtained by Luo Yuan, his strength would...

    ¡°How can this be so.¡± His head ached. In short, if he wanted to be a true god to face Luo Yuan, he had to take the risk of Luo Yuan being able to obtain full control over the world at any time?

    ¡°What is the rate of ascension on Luo Yuan¡¯s side?¡± Chen Feng asked.

    ¡°A huge bunch of them ascend every single day.¡± Duma rubbed his head. ¡°Based on the present speed, the moment the godhood of misfortune bes avable, it will reappear in no less than three days.¡±

    ¡°In short... I will only have three days.¡± Chen Feng sank into silence.

    Duma shook his head. ¡°Not quite. Three days is merely the maximum length of time you might have. It is also possible that the instant you break through, the godhood of misfortune will reappear, allowing Luo Yuan instant control over this world.¡±

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡±

    They seemed to have stumbled upon their biggest problem yet.

    ¡°What will happen once he controls the entire world?¡± Chen Feng asked with a sigh.

    ¡°Things will get very dangerous.¡± Duma shook his head. ¡°True godhood is the highest stage of godhood. World controller signifies an entirely different realm... It signifies the realm of an existence such as the Creation God. In that realm, all living beings are under one¡¯s control. Every flower, every tree, every de of grass, every single life-form, every inch of soil, every single god, and every single godly power. If one wishes to, the entire world can be destroyed with a mere thought.¡± Duma finished his exnation expressionlessly.

    Chen Feng and the rest sank into silence. So a world controller was actually so scary?

    ¡°What about me if I have broken into the true-god stage?¡± Chen Feng asked.

    Duma smiled bitterly. ¡°...You will still be under his control.¡±

    So that was the case. Chen Feng sighed. It was no wonder that Luo Yuan was ignoring everything and focusing solely on gaining full control over the world. The so-called mysterious person and the Forest Goddess were existences he couldn¡¯t care less about, because there was no need to care.

    So long as the godhood of misfortune reappeared, he would be the world controller. Mysterious person? Enemy? True god? Mere jokes. Was Luo Yuan stupid? No, he had never been stupid.

    ¡°Is there truly no other ways?¡± Chen Feng rubbed his head. Everything had been progressing too smoothly for him recently. It had reached a point where he believed he would be able to easily eliminate Luo Yuan. Unexpectedly, the greatest trap of all was waiting for him. If he dared to be a true god, there would only be a slight window of opportunity before Luo Yuan obtained total control over the world.

    In his original n, Chen Feng had hoped that, after bing a true god, even if he was immediately discovered, he would still be able to survive and grow some more, eventually bing strong enough to prevail over Luo Yuan. But now? Forget about surviving, he would definitely be discovered by Luo Yuan. And Chen Feng himself would have to be the one to start the fight. Otherwise, the moment Luo Yuan discovered the godhood of misfortune, he would gain total control over the world.

    Even with Chen Feng being the one to start the fight, things would only work out if the godhood of misfortune chose to reappear at ater date. Otherwise, if the godhood of misfortune reappeared somewhere immediately after he became a true god, it would all be over.

    ¡°Luck?¡±

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. He believed that he his luck would not be too bad. After all, the power of luck was fused within his godly power. Sadly, the same was true for Luo Yuan. Howmentable. Luck would not work when dealing with Luo Yuan.

    ¡°Is this purely a matter of luck?¡±

    Chen Feng was unwilling to ept this. This involved the fate of the entire world, yet it had to depend on luck? Chen Feng could not ept that. Furthermore, even if Chen Feng broke through into the true-god stage, would he truly be able to defeat Luo Yuan? Unlikely. As such, he needed more time. Otherwise, even if the first issue, that of the godhood of misfortune, was resolved, he could still be killed by Luo Yuan at any time. Facing an enemy at such a level, Chen Feng couldn¡¯t rely on luck alone, despite him having some confidence in his luck.

    ¡°Let me give it some thought.¡±

    He sank into contemtion. Time... True god... The world... Chen Feng¡¯s thoughts spun rapidly. Suddenly, he looked at the innocent Xiao Ying in his sea of consciousness. Perhaps there was a solution to this!

    ...

    At present, in the territories ruled by Luo Yuan, the furious Luo Yuan received a report that the mysterious person had vanished. That¡¯s right, he had vanished.

    After challenging all the gods, that fellow had decisively vanished. This caused Luo Yuan to be iparably furious. He had even begun to doubt the long-dead Chen Feng. Unfortunately, even after using Luck Aura, he received the same answer as always: Chen Feng was dead. As such, he could only give up on the thought that this was Chen Feng¡¯s conspiracy.

    Luo Yuan raged. ¡°Don¡¯t you guys know to stop him?¡±

    The underling spoke cautiously. ¡°Respected god-king, you told us to amodate him in everything he does.¡±

    Shua!

    Luo Yuan¡¯s expression darkened. It seemed like this was indeed what he had said. He rubbed his aching head. That mysterious person had gone missing. Perhaps that fellow had gone to challenge a godhood after challenging all the gods? That was quite possible. As Luo Yuan thought of this possibility, he became somewhat excited.

    ¡°Immediately watch all locations attentively. The moment someone seeds in a godhood trial, report it immediately. I have to know the locations of the challengers and the godhoods they obtain,¡± Luo Yuan said solemnly.

    ¡°Yes,¡± the various gods answered. With their godly powers, especially those that were good at deducing, it would be quite easy to locate a challenger whenever one appeared.

    ¡°Good.¡± Luo Yuan heaved a breath of relief. He had to obtain that mysterious person. However, he felt like he was getting somewhat easily irritated. This did not fit his character. A vague sense of crisis kept enveloping him. Was he thinking too much? Luo Yuan frowned as he wondered.

    He had nned in secret for so many years and had never been so worried. And now, after dominating the world for 30 years, there no longer existed an opponent for him. And yet he was still busy constantly scheming, trying to gain total control over this world. Why did he feel all jittery? Was it because sess was now so near?

    Luo Yuan shut his eyes. He felt like he had to adjust his mindset to calm himself. Chen Feng was already dead. He could not allow himself to keep being influenced by Chen Feng like this. That damnable one percent chance of failure had already been dealt with. One percent... Right. Soon, Luo Yuan realized something. Shortly after, he began to deduce once again.

    This time, he arranged his entire n once again and used Luck Aura to deduce his sess rate. On top of that, several hundred analyzation and deduction abilities were used as support. Ultimately, he obtained a result: 100% sess rate.

    Now, nobody in this world could stop him. He was the core of half the world. As for the other half, they could only struggle while standing at death¡¯s door. Even the strongest of them was merely a major god. Among them, a true god could never appear, let alone one that could withstand him.

    With Chen Feng¡¯s death, nobody remained that could threaten him. As for the future? Unfortunately, the moment he obtained full control over the world and rewound time, there would no longer be a future.

    Luo Yuan spoke steadily. ¡°Let¡¯s just proceed ording to the n.¡±

    Finally, he regained his calm. However, he never could have imagined that his deduction had a small issue. Indeed, in this world, nobody could stop him. But what about a different world?

    ***

    A clear sky, blue seawater, and a golden sandy shore. It had been a very long time since Chen Feng had seen such a view. Naturally, one could not forget about the refreshing girls on the beach. They were all filled with vitality, especially the jiggling clumps of meat whenever they moved. Looking at them having fun, smacking volleyballs around, an iparablyfortable feeling emerged within Chen Feng.

    <i>So big, so fair. Tsk tsk... This is life... </i>Chen Fengmented.

    ¡°Hehe.¡± A gloomy voice resounded beside him. ¡°Don¡¯t you think that you owe me an exnation?¡±

    ¡°Calm down, calm down,¡± said Chen Feng. ¡°What is there to exin? Look... Luo Yuan is going to control the world. As such, I can only hide here. In any case, your Crystal Pce is located on an alien world. Isn¡¯t it perfect how you and Xiao Ying can summon each other to your own worlds? I am only here to hide; I will leave not long after,¡± Chen Feng said with a smile. The one that had appeared and was talking to him was precisely Ming Yue.

    That¡¯s right, this was The Crystal Pce of the great male lead, the stallion, the owner of a harem, Wang Chun. When everyone had ascended to godhood, Wang Chun had naturally done the same. After experiencing countless arduous hardships and numerous tribtions, he had finally ascended. As for the godly power he had gained, it was one that ultimately transformed the world of The Crystal Pce into a true alien world. Naturally, he alone could enter this world¡ªas well as the Xiao Ying, who had a contract with Ming Yue.

    As for Chen Feng, he could only enter thanks to the synonymous spiritual energy he had with Xiao Ying. Back then, this was precisely how Ming Yue had gotten the wrong target to sign the contract.

    ¡°Is that even what I am talking about?¡± Ming Yue was furious, so furious that her majestic breasts jiggled. ¡°What! I! Am! Saying!¡± She pointed at Xiao Ying to the side and continued, ¡°Why! Is! He! A! She!¡±

    Bastard! What she had signed was a marriage contract. Had Chen Feng not mentioned that Xiao Ying was his bro? Why was his bro a female?

    ¡°Oh...¡± Chen Feng sank into silence. True. Even though Xiao Ying had not been able to assume a humanoid form back then, she had still been ¡°usable.¡± She could have been long or short, soft or hard. Yet now, with her new humanoid appearance, it was indeed somewhat unfavorable for Ming Yue. Mhm...

    Suddenly, Chen Feng waved his hand. ¡°Come. Xiao Ying, turn into a dragon. Let your wife take a good look at the size of a dragon.¡±

    Ming Yue: ¡°???¡±

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    In the world of The Crystal Pce, Wang Chun and the Shen Wei sisters were watching from far away. They always maintained a certain distance from Ming Yue. After all, in this world, she was the demon king. If not because Chen Feng had requested to see him, Wang Chun would not have dared to even approach Ming Yue.

    In his memories, when he did a certain underling of Ming Yue¡¯s that one time, he had almost ended up being hung up and beaten by Ming Yue. He would have literally been hung on the city gate and received 30 days of whipping.

    Thus, he hoped that Chen Feng could deal with Ming Yue. Only then would he have the opportunity to truly rule the entirety of The Crystal Pce and turn this ce into a true harem. As for the real world, Wang Chun had forgotten about it. Even though the real world was wider and more beautiful, for Wang Chun, the world of The Crystal Pce, which was the size of a city, was enough for him. After all, the real world contained the likes of Chen Feng and Luo Yuan. He had no intention of going out there and courting death.

    The smitten Shen Yi stared at Chen Feng. ¡°Elder Brother Chen Feng has be even more handsome now.¡±

    Shen Wei approved of this judgment. ¡°Not bad at all.¡±

    Wang Chun: ¡°...¡±

    This was precisely the reason he did not want to be in the same world as Chen Feng. That fellow absorbed all the attention. Wang Chun had always been of the opinion that Chen Feng was not a good friend, merely an ordinary one.

    Suddenly, Wang Chun asked, ¡°What do you two think about Kong Bai?¡±

    Shen Yi frowned. ¡°Huh? Why are you suddenly asking such a disgusting question?¡±

    Look at this! Wang Chun was very satisfied. If he had a choice in who to befriend, he much preferred Kong Bai. He had always believed that even though Kong Bai was destined to never be with a partner because of his looks, he would nevertheless have a huge number of friends of the same gender.

    Suddenly, a crisp sound could be heard.

    Ka!

    A crack appeared in the world. Wang Chun looked up at the sky of The Crystal Pce with a solemn expression. A crack had appeared there. Chen Feng was too strong, so strong that this world could not sustain the weight of his existence.

    Shen Yi was somewhat anxious. ¡°Master.¡±

    ¡°No worries.¡± Wang Chun smiled and clenched his teeth as he said, ¡°I can still hold on. They are all fighting. I... have to do my part as well.¡±

    ¡°Let us help you.¡± The Shen Yi sisters began to help Wang Chun mending the crack in this world.

    Hum¡ª

    Slowly, the crack vanished.

    ...

    ¡°What exactly do you want?¡± Ming Yue asked with a gloomy expression. After finding out that Xiao Ying was female, her mood was very unstable.

    ¡°To break through,¡± Chen Feng said solemnly. He had to break through, and this was the only ce he could select to do so. This was the only ce that Luo Yuan couldn¡¯t discover. This was also the only ce he could hide from Luo Yuan and continue growing until the point he could contend against Luo Yuan. As for Luo Yuan, he would have to continue with his game of loot boxes for now. In any case, he would never be able to draw the loot he desired.

    Ming Yue shook her head. ¡°Not possible. Even if you break through here, the godhood of misfortune will still go away.¡±

    After bing a true god, all his divine seats would go away, regardless of the world he broke through in. As such, so long as Chen Feng became a true god, the godhood of misfortune would be vacant. There was no doubt about that. At that time, Luo Yuan would obtain control over the world. It was pointless for Chen Feng to break through here.

    ¡°I know,¡± Chen Feng said solemnly. ¡°As such, I hope that you can separate Spirit and the Misfortune Goddess from me. Transform them into their true selves.¡±

    Shua!

    They raised their heads abruptly. Turning into their true selves? Spirit and the Misfortune Goddess had been residing in Chen Feng¡¯s body for a long time. Due to what the Luck Goddess did back then, even though Spirit had managed to regain the godhood, she now existed in the form of a consciousness and could only exist within Chen Feng¡¯s consciousness.

    As for the Misfortune Goddess, she hadn¡¯t even awakened in the truest sense. She had been in this state ever since she regained her consciousness.

    ¡°You are the Nether Goddess,¡± Chen Feng said solemnly. ¡°You might not be able to disy your true power in our world, but here, you are the strongest god!¡±

    He had once learned from Wang Chun that in this world, there were two almighty opposing existences. These two had unique capabilities. If they were to join hands, this would definitely be doable.

    Ming Yue rejected this without the slightest hesitation. ¡°Not possible.¡± Join hands with that slut? What kind of joke was that? At present, this world was divided into two realms. That slut was in charge of the Divine Realm and Ming Yue was in charge of the Nether Realm. Ming Yue was happy with this arrangement and had no intention of seeing that slut even once. She was certain that the slut shared the sentiment. Since that was the case, why bother even trying to ask her?

    ¡°The two of you are the only two gods of this world...¡± Chen Feng said with a bitter smile.

    Ming Yue sneered. ¡°We are also archenemies.¡±

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡±

    To truly enable Spirit and the Misfortune Goddess to obtain new lives, he needed the joint effort of these two gods. After all, in this world, only when the two of them joined hands would this world¡¯s full power be disyed. This was the basic requirement to unleash the world¡¯s power. Even though this was merely a miniature world, it wouldn¡¯t differ much from a world that existed in reality and should be governed by the same set of rules.

    Suddenly, Ming Yue said, ¡°Their godly powers are already almost fully fused with you, right? If they leave you now, they can only take with them a small amount of godly power. They will have to start their cultivation from scratch...¡±

    Chen Feng nodded. ¡°Mhm.¡± Both Spirit and the Misfortune Goddess had indeed sacrificed a lot for him.

    Ming Yue curled her lips. ¡°They are fine with this?¡± They upied such important divine seats, those of misfortune and luck, yet they would only be at the level of a minor god. They would likely be challenged for their godhood the moment they appeared. They could very well die soon after.

    ¡°Yes, they are.¡± Chen Feng shrugged. ¡°Before killing Luo Yuan, I will have them stay here.¡±

    ¡°...¡± Ming Yue red at Chen Feng. So this fellow was already treating this ce as his own home?

    ¡°In this world, Wang Chun is the true main character,¡± Ming Yue reminded Chen Feng.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Chen Feng stared into the distance. As Wang Yue met his gaze, he trembled and instantly fled with the Shen Yi sisters, no longer even daring to look at them.

    Ming Yue: ¡°...¡±

    What useless trash.

    ¡°Look, he seems to have no objections,¡± Chen Feng said with a smile.

    Ming Yue snorted. ¡°In that case, you can start considering a real issue. If I join my godly power with that fellow¡¯s, who will direct this process?¡±

    ¡°Mhm?¡± Chen Feng was somewhat confused. Direct? What did that mean?

    ¡°Are you stupid?¡± Ming Yue calmly exined, ¡°You are aware that after obtaining all the powers, Luo Yuan will obtain control over the entire world. In this world with only two gods, the same is true. Since our godly powers have to join to grant new life to the two goddesses, someone must direct this newly joined godly power. Who do you think is more fitting to take on this role? How are you sure that after I hand over my godly power, she will not do something else with it? For instance, maybe she¡¯ll kill me and then kill all of you?¡±

    As Chen Feng heard these words, he sank into silence.

 Chapter 833 - The Damnable Setting

    <h4>Chapter 833: The Damnable Setting</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    ¡°Naturally, you should be the one to take on the directing role,¡± Chen Feng said without the slightest hesitation. Due to the rtionship between Xiao Ying and Ming Yue, he trusted Ming Yue more.

    Ming Yueughed heartily. ¡°And you think that the other person will agree to this?¡±

    Naturally, the other party would arrive at the same conclusion as Ming Yue.

    ¡°If I had boundless godly power, I would probably kill that person before helping you resurrect the two goddesses,¡± Ming Yue said without the slightest hesitation.

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡±

    Only now did he realize the crux of the issue. These girls¡¯ rtionships were way moreplicated than he had imagined. Ai, this trashy Wang Chun couldn¡¯t even manage his harem properly. This should have been simple...

    ¡°Your grudges...¡± Chen Feng could only try to tackle the issue from this angle.

    ¡°Hehehehehe.¡± Ming Yue sneered as she looked at Chen Feng. ¡°This is a grudge that has umted for ages. It would be better for you to be smarter. I remember a certain saying from your world: do not force a kind husband like me to do a bad thing, and do not force that slut to be a good wife.¡±

    Chen Feng was dazed for a long time. ¡°Such a saying exists?¡±

    ¡°I will give you her address,¡± Ming Yue said politely. ¡°If you can persuade her, I will agree to your request.¡±

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone. ¡°For real?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Ming Yue looked over at the naive, cute, and obedient Xiao Ying to the side before sighing. ¡°After all, my life is already tied to this fellow...¡±

    ¡°All right,¡± Chen Feng agreed. Wasn¡¯t it merely persuading a different big shot of The Crystal Pce? That shouldn¡¯t be too hard. This was a very unique world, a world with only women. Moreover, this world was based on The Crystal Pce. As such, the other party was most definitely a beautiful youngdy as well.

    Chen Feng seemed to remember that, in the story of The Crystal Pce, no one true viin existed. Thus, Chen Feng followed the address and found the so-called Divine King. In fact, she was truly the Divine King, as she was the ruler of the Shen faction, the faction the Shen Yi sisters were in. Her name was Shen Wang. [1] <sup>1</sup>

    Beautiful, young, and bright. This was the Shen Wang that Chen Feng saw. She was a beautiful youngdy that caused one¡¯s heart to flutter. She appeared to be quite amicable.

    ¡°Hello.¡± Chen Feng went forth and greeted her, then told her his request. The beautiful youngdy agreed cheerfully. Her sole condition was that Ming Yue apanied her for one night.

    Chen Feng thought he had heard incorrectly. Did she mean to have Ming Yue y with her for a bit?

    ¡°No, you heard correctly. I want her to apany me for one night,¡± the beautiful Shen Wang said, a big smile on her face. In her eyes was an expression that Chen Feng was extremely familiar with. This... He breathed in a mouthful of cold air. In short, this beautiful Shen Wang was a girl lover?

    Hiss¡ª

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart leaped. In his memories, Ming Yue seemed to have a rather normal sexual orientation? It was no wonder she had been so angry when she found out that Xiao Ying was female. Hold on, did this not mean that their rtionship was in fact not as he had imagined?

    He immediately went to Wang Chun to find out more. Instantly, he was horrified by what he learned. In the past, the two had been best friends. This hadsted until the day the beautiful Shen Wang went over to Ming Yue in her sleep and did something improper to her. Chen Feng was quite curious about the improper thing she did.

    In any case, Ming Yue was utterly disgusted by that act and defected from the Divine Pce immediately. Bringing along a bunch of her underlings, she went to the other side of the world and ultimately conquered half this world for herself.

    ¡°What damnable plot is this?¡± Chen Feng was somewhat stupefied. This stupid plot, even Qidian wouldn¡¯t dare to write something like this, right? In his memories, this didn¡¯t seem to be the plot of the original The Crystal Pce.

    ¡°Well, the plot my world is based on is not the original plot,¡± Wang Chun said meekly. ¡°My world is based on some fan fiction I read somewhere...¡±

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡±

    In short, to fulfill his dream of having a harem, this bastard Wang Chun visited some NSFW fanfiction websites just so he could have a different version of The Crystal Pce? Holy sh*t. What useless nerd.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. ¡°In short... the essence of this world...¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Wang Chun said meekly. ¡°It¡¯s a world of fan service.¡±

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡±

    What in the world?

    Wang Chun coughed somewhat awkwardly. ¡°That is why the girls of this world are so easy to conquer. If this were the original world... I think I would have been torn apart by them long ago.¡±

    ...

    At least Wang Chun was not entirely stupid. Chen Feng red at Wang Chun. Fine. This was a piece of fan fiction. No wonder the plot had developed so weirdly. When he thought back, he seemed to recall that the gaze Shen Yi looked at him with was indeed somewhat odd.

    Hold on. If this was a world of fan service, who did they service? Wasn¡¯t this a female-only world? Chen Feng was filled with doubt.

    ¡°Me.¡± Wang Chun raised his head and puffed his chest out proudly. ¡°I am the main character.¡±

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡±

    Finally, he knew exactly what world this was. So it turned out that this wasn¡¯t just an all-female world. This was a world where all the females were extraordinarily beautiful and had zero concept of the rtionship between different genders, allowing Wang Chun to roam free and brainwash them as he wished. In short, this so-called The Crystals Pce was the true harem of Wang Chun.

    ¡°Fine.¡± Chen Feng rubbed his aching head. Mhm... Subsequently, his lips curled up into a smile. He looked at Wang Chun sinisterly. ¡°What if I try my hand on Shen Yi and the others...¡±

    Hiss¡ª

    Wang Chun¡¯s hands trembled. ¡°Bro, please don¡¯t mess around.¡±

    He was truly terrified now. He had been brainwashing these girls here because there were no restrictions regarding contact between different genders. He had been absolutely unrestrained because he used to be the only man in this world. If Chen Feng messed around in this world... Shen Yi and the rest would probably ept his advances without any hesitation. How terrifying. Of course, that wasn¡¯t true of Ming Yue.

    Wang Chun smiled bitterly. ¡°Bro, it¡¯s my bad.¡± He had constructed this harem with utmost care. He did not want to have apetitor. He did not wish for the plot to develop with him wearing the green hat.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I don¡¯t have the time for that,¡± Chen Feng said grudgingly. So it turned out this fellow was aware of exactly what he had done. Truly...

    Forget it. After all, this was his private matter.

    Chen Feng had a sudden mncholic feeling. ¡°Do you have any way of helping them reconcile with each other? Or just reach a temporarypromise?¡±

    Wang Chun shrugged. ¡°No.¡±

    Chen Feng nced at him. ¡°Aren¡¯t you the male lead?¡±

    ¡°Oh. Erm...¡± Wang Chun appeared to be somewhat at a loss. ¡°In the original plot, these two were supposed to be the final bosses. If I try to make advances on them, it will have to be at the very end.

    ¡°In the setting of this world, the two of them have independent thoughts and aren¡¯t susceptible to brainwashing. As such, my protagonist aura has no effect on them. Moreover, based on the original setting, the story will end after the conquest of the final bosses. I don¡¯t even know if this world will continue on after that.¡± Wang Chun shrugged. ¡°As such, I have never intended to conquer the both of them.¡±

    This was why he had never bothered with those two. In any case, those two were existences he couldn¡¯t hope to touch.

    ¡°What should I do, then?¡± Chen Feng¡¯s head ached. He had never expected this to happen. He had to now think of a way to persuade to female lead of a piece of fan fiction. Fan fiction that was supposed to be fan service. What were the characteristics of this female lead? What were the differences between her and the original work? He had no idea.

    At present, Shen Wang was an unknown factor. Nobody knew how this fan edition of Shen Wang would behave. What a scam!

 Chapter 834 - Dear, Select Your World Carefully

    <h4>Chapter 834: Dear, Select Your World Carefully</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    ¡°This is quite troublesome.¡±

    Chen Feng sank into a short silence before suddenly recalling that perhaps one person would know the answer.

    ¡°Who?¡± Wang Chun asked as his eyes shone.

    Chen Feng pointed at this world. ¡°The author.¡±

    Wang Chun¡¯s mouth drop. ¡°Isn¡¯t this fan fiction?¡±

    ¡°Look for the author of this fan fiction then,¡± Chen Feng replied calmly.

    Wang Chun smiled bitterly. ¡°How is that possible?¡± Fan-fiction authors were the hardest to find. The reason for that was rather simple: the army of censors would regrly sweep through the inte for indecent content, and these were the greatest threat to the authors of adult fan fiction. As such, the authors of such works were normally scattered everywhere. It was extremely normal for them to regrly change their online handles or the ce they posted. As such, it was extremely hard to locate these authors even in times of peace, let alone times of chaos like this

    After all, adult fan fiction was generally written by the supernerds on the lowest rungs of society, which had possibly been the ones most likely to perish in the Gic Era. After experiencing the descent of the primordial, the descent of the gods, Ye¡¯s Sin Era, Chen Feng¡¯s Glorious Era, Luo Yuan¡¯s Control Era, and the chaotic era that followed after Luo Yuan¡¯s wristbands were broken by Chen Feng, as mere ordinary people, could these authors have even survived this long?

    Wang Chun did not have an answer. Perhaps the author was long dead.

    ¡°How will we know without trying?¡± Chen Feng asked with a smile. ¡°Fortunately, I am very good at locating people.¡±

    Shua!

    Light swirled about as Luck Aura activated.

    Wang Chun was astonished to see this. ¡°I thought you couldn¡¯t use that ability?¡± Due to Luo Yuan, it had been a very long time since Chen Feng had dared to use this ability.

    ¡°I can still lightly use it when I¡¯m in a different world.¡±

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply.

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. A session of coordinates appeared before Chen Feng¡¯s eyes. This was the limit of what he could obtain. He didn¡¯t dare to further use his luck power. Even though they were in two different worlds and he was screening himself with godly power, Chen Feng was still unsure of whether he would attract Luo Yuan¡¯s attention if he used the power of luck excessively.

    ¡°With these coordinates, we can return and look for him,¡± Chen Feng said.

    ¡°Fine,¡± Wang Chun agreed with a sigh.

    They had no choice but to leave this ce and head toward the coordinates. Fortunately, they ultimately found the address and arrived before a shabby yet still somewhat luxurious house.

    <i>There is hope.</i>

    Chen Feng was hopeful. Wang Chun went and knocked on the door.

    A gloomy voice sounded from within. ¡°Who is it?¡±

    ¡°Delivery,¡± Wang Chun answered with a low voice.

    ¡°Leave the delivery at the door.¡±

    ¡°Oh, the delivery has already been put down. We have also received notification that your water meter is broken...¡±

    ¡°The delivery guys also repair water meters nowadays?¡±

    ¡°We are operating a business with a PO Box.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s probably a false report. I am taking a shower. My water supply is fine.¡±

    ¡°...We detected that your electricity might be...¡±

    ¡°I am watching a video.¡±

    ¡°...There might be a gas leakage here. We need to do an inspection...¡±

    ¡°No, it¡¯s working fine. I am cooking here.¡±

    ¡°...¡±

    Wang Chun was instantly speechless. He had never expected that would be seen through before saying much.

    Chen Feng was speechless as he saw this. ¡°Seems like I am still not smart enough.¡±

    Bang!

    He proceeded to kick open the door. The two of them were instantly startled at what they saw. Inside the building was a chubby middle-aged man wearing messy clothes. In the living room was a huge bathtub. The middle-aged man was submerged within the bathtub, seemingly trying to save half the water by submerging himself in the bathtub to raise the water level. And the TV in the living room was indeed ying a movie. Mhm... This was an adult movie. An ancient gas stove was boiling water, and some silicone toys were visible within the water.

    The loud sound of the door being kicked down rmed the fatty. He nked shortly before suddenly saying, ¡°Did I forget to close the door? Oh, well, just leave the delivery there. When I am free, I will give you a good rating...¡±

    Instantly, Chen Feng and Wang Chun sank into silence.

    ¡°Frolicking Night Wind?¡± Chen Feng asked with a sigh.

    The fatty was horrified. ¡°Huh? How do you know this pen name of mine?¡±

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s indeed him,¡± Wang Chun confirmed with a bitter smile.

    Bang!

    They directly knocked him unconscious and took him away. They couldn¡¯t even stay a second longer at a ce like this. In all honesty, for him to be living such a life in this era, he was quite talented. To be safe, they carried the fatty to a certain cave. After a long time, the fatty woke up.

    ¡°Bro, I was wrong. I will no longer steal silicone toys. I truly have no idea who they belonged to before. I merely picked them up to boil and disinfect them so I can use them as well. If I knew that they were yours, I definitely wouldn¡¯t have touched them!¡± the fatty screamed miserably.

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡±

    So those things had been picked up? Scary.

    Wang Chun was rather shocked as well. ¡°How about the gas stove...¡±

    ¡°I picked that up from a garbage heap.¡± The fatty cried a tearless cry. ¡°The monitored and controlled world is too scary. Therefore, I escaped from the monitored part of the world. However, the nonmonitored part of the world is now living a primitive life. As such, I had no choice but to use such a method to maintain some quality of life.¡±

    Chen Feng: ¡°...Fine.¡± He rubbed his head. ¡°I am not interested in all this. Now, tell me. Do you still remember the things you wrote with the pen name ¡®Frolicking Night Wind¡¯?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The fatty nodded frantically as he realized something. ¡°I wrote a lot. That pen name was one I used to write about The Crystal Pce, with emphasis on adult fan fiction. For instance, the story about the Shen Yi sisters¡ª¡±

    Wang Chun interrupted him. ¡°Shut up.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± The fatty was frightened by the shout.

    ¡°I don¡¯t need to know about the adult fan fiction.¡± Wang Chun gnashed his teeth and continued, ¡°You only need to tell me about a certain fan fiction you wrote, the one that was even drawn as aic. Do you understand me?¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Fatty appeared rather disappointed. ¡°That work is not explosive enough. It was supposed to be adult fan fiction as well. However, in order to publish it as aic, I was forced to delete a lot of indecent scenes...¡±

    ¡°Yes, that is precisely the version I am asking about,¡± Wang Chun said with a fierce expression. ¡°If you dare to mention anything else, I will instantly kill you.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± The fatty trembled in fear. ¡°Let me give it some thought... Which ones did I delete back then? It has been too long, I can¡¯t remember them anymore. However, I have numerous original copies here with me. Do you want to take a look at these instead?¡±

    The fatty passed over his wristband while trembling.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. ¡°Wristband?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± the fatty exined, ¡°you don¡¯t need to put this one on to use it. No inte connection is required either. It was modified by me into a single edition and can be used like a personalputer. Look.¡±

    Shua!

    He turned the screen on. Next, a folder named ¡°studies¡± appeared. Within were numerous folders with names such as physics, chemistry, biology, and so on. A particr folder named biology was opened, and a world of porn appeared before them.

    ¡°That is only natural, right?¡± the fatty said awkwardly. Within this folder were the numerous pieces of adult fan fiction he had written in the past, and the vast majority of them were focused on The Crystal Pce. There were nearly 20 works featuring the Shen Yi siblings as the main characters. When Wang Chun saw this, hisplexion became ashen. One could only imagine his expression when he actually began searching through them.

    ¡°Do you want me to help you with this?¡± Chen Feng asked when he saw Wang Chun¡¯s unsightly expression.

    Wang Chun hastily stopped him. ¡°There is no need for that.¡± It was better for Chen Feng to not see the contents of these. Thus, he clenched his teeth and did the work personally. He read every single adult fan fiction pertaining to The Crystal Pce in here before finally locating what he was searching for. Naturally, having read everything, he did not appear well.

    ¡°Erm, which character did you want to know about?¡± When the fatty saw what Wang Chun was pointing at, he continued, ¡°Oh, I remember now. This is the special edition I wrote after deleting a whole bunch of adult content and adding yuri content to get published back then. What do you guys want to ask about?¡±

    ¡°Shen Wang. What is the setting for her character?¡± Chen Feng asked.

    ¡°Her?¡± Fatty gave it some thought before saying, ¡°I gave her a tragic childhood, allowing her nature to undergo a great change, changing even her sexual orientation so as to keep her consistent with the worldview of the characters in this book. In the future, she and Ming Yue will love and hate each other, and after numerous fights, their misunderstandings will be solved and they will ultimately get together. Unfortunately, this book was dropped by the publishers before I could even finish it. They cited the indecent yuri content as ¡®immoral¡¯ or something. What the hell, right? Back then, they were the ones hinting at me to write yuri content.¡±

    The fatty became furious as he thought about this.

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡±

    So it turned out the two of them were in fact a couple?

    ¡°I understand now. Do you still have the script for thetter parts of the novel?¡± Chen Feng asked.

    ¡°Nope. However, their misunderstanding is the core of the book. The two have known each other since they were young yet do not understand each other, resulting in their separation, and so on. I can still roughly remember the storyline,¡± the fatty said.

    ¡°Excellent. Write it down and I will let you go,¡± Chen Feng said.

    ¡°Mhm.¡±

    Fatty was getting excited. He had initially thought that he would die today. Surprisingly, these kidnappers were actually fans of his past work. What a good feeling this was.

    Suddenly, Wang Chun thought of something. ¡°Hold on. So you have never forgotten the setting for the character Shen Wang?¡±

    Fatty nodded. ¡°Uh huh.¡±

    Wang Chun gnashed his teeth. ¡°In other words, even if I hadn¡¯t read all this, you could still have told me about her?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The fatty began to cry a tearless cry. ¡°But earlier... you only said that you were looking for that book. I was assuming that you were merely looking to download a full copy of the story. That¡¯s why I directed you to the folder...¡±

    ¡°Hehehehe.¡± Wang Chun was so infuriated that he started trembling. Earlier, he personally read nearly 20 books depicting Shen Yi being subjected to numerous experiences. Wang Chun was totally infuriated as he recalled what he had read. After one hour, Chen Feng and Wang Chun left smoothly. When they returned to the harem world, Chen Feng already had an idea for the future development of the two gods of this world. It wouldn¡¯t be long before the yuri arc began.

    Naturally, Wang Chun still had an unsightly expression on his face. In fact, his head looked rather green at the moment.

    ¡°How pitiful,¡± Chen Fengmented. ¡°This is what you get for cultivating the world of an adult fan fiction as your ability.¡±

 Chapter 835 - Luo Yuans Suspicions

    <h4>Chapter 835: Luo Yuan¡¯s Suspicions</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    ¡°Wang Chun. Let the world progress as dictated by the author. Allow Ming Yue and Shen Wang to discover each other¡¯s identity and realize the misunderstanding. So long as they discover this naturally, the setting of this world will take into effect,¡± Chen Feng said.

    Wang Chun nodded. ¡°All right.¡± With this, the conflict between the two would soon end. That would be the time for Chen Feng to enter the true-god stage.

    ...

    In Luo Yuan¡¯s territory, countless apostles were prostrating on the ground. A dignified gaze would sweep past them asionally, causing them to tremble all over. This was Luo Yuan¡¯s will, a will of utmost majesty.

    At present, a bunch of new gods were before him. Unfortunately, misfortune was not part of this group either.

    He sighed. ¡°Where are you?¡±

    Misfortune was now his biggest hurdle to obtaining full control over the world. The possibility obviously existed, and the godhood had obviously been made vacant. Why was it refusing to appear? He nurtured batch of gods after batch of gods like vegetation. Thirty years had passed, yet misfortune hadn¡¯t appeared even once, causing him to copse mentally.

    There was also that mysterious person. Luo Yuan sank into silence. The escape of that mysterious person angered him somewhat as well. However, this also caused Luo Yuan to finally start seriously considering whether he had missed something. Why had he failed to locate that mysterious person?

    That shouldn¡¯t be possible. Even without knowing that person¡¯s name and appearance, with Luck Aura, nobody could hide. Was it because his version of Luck Aura was too weak? Luo Yuan frowned. However, he had only been using Luck Aura for searching. As such, the fact that his Luck Aura was a lower-level one shouldn¡¯t matter too much.

    If so, what exactly was the problem? Luo Yuan raised his head and looked at the world before him. He recalled that, a long time ago, he had hidden from the detection of other gods by hiding in outer space. But both this and outer space were under his control. Nobody should be able to escape to outer space. In fact, if that mysterious person had escaped to outer space, Luo Yuan would have long ago discovered him. After all, the Stormtech Company¡¯s monitoring system was not something to be looked down on. Or perhaps this person was like Ye, who had hidden on the Twin Horns World?

    That was the best location to hide. Unfortunately, the Twin Horns World had already been assimted into this world; it no longer existed as an independent world. If so, where else could someone hide? Luo Yuan frowned. He had an odd feeling. This odd feeling was a hunch originating from his various perception and intuition pertaining, as well as numerous passive abilities that he had copied. Although he did not know exactly what was going on, he still felt that something was wrong.

    That mysterious person was definitely an important clue to this. Furthermore, the fact that he was totally invisible to the Luck Aura¡¯s detection amplified the importance. World... Hiding... Vanishing...Luo Yuan shut his eyes and suddenly recalled something.

    Hum¡ª

    He flipped his hand and a hovering book appeared above his palm. That¡¯s right, this was Wang Chun¡¯s ability, an ability to turn a world within a book into an alien world. However, this book of Luo Yuan¡¯s was unique and was different than the book Wang Chun had selected. Back then, when Luo Yuan discovered this ability, he had acknowledged that this was an extremely unique ability among the various abilities in existence.

    As such, Luo Yuan had paid close attention to this ability. Unlike Wang Chun, Luo Yuan had not selected The Crystal Pce. As far as he was concerned, this ability was simr to his Copy ability, an ability filled with potential. As such, why would he select a trash fan fiction like The Crystal Pce to be his constructed world?

    After all, he already had a woman that he loved. As such, his interest in other women was quitecking. Therefore, he had selected a book that was more suitable for him. This was a rather established book from a certain established website: Godly Model Creator. From that book, he had learned the world-constructing ability of the main character.

    This was also how he had be so powerful. Naturally, he was too busy to truly grow that world. As such, in that world, he was still a minor character. However, that did not affect his act of learning from that book.

    In fact, he had benefited greatly from that. Initially, this secret had belonged to him alone. After all, he was the only one able to push this ability to such great heights. That fan fiction of The Crystal Pce was nothing but a ce for one to fulfill one¡¯s wishes. How could he ce much importance on Wang Chun?

    But now... he was finally regarding that world of The Crystal Pce seriously. Chen Feng was dead. However, his friends were still alive. As such, the mysterious person could very well be Wang Chun, Kong Bai, or the others. For example...

    Luo Yuan¡¯s brain spun rapidly.

    That beloved disciple of Chen Feng¡¯s, Wu Hui. If he was the one putting on a disguise and challenging all the gods, it was quite possible that he would indeed be victorious in all the challenges. Because he was Wu Hui. Because of that unique ability of his.

    ¡°Interesting.¡± Luo Yuan¡¯s mouth curled up into a smile. ¡°Since he is the disciple of Chen Feng, he might inherit the godhood of misfortune as well?¡±

    Luo Yuan was feeling expectant. Perhaps that mysterious person had indeed gone missing to try ascending to godhood.

    ¡°I will give you the time for it. However...¡± Luo Yuan¡¯s gaze became cold. ¡°The moment of your ascension will also be the moment of my appearance.¡±

    As for this book... He lowered his head to look at the hovering book. The strength of the world within this book was much weaker than he had imagined. That Sun Yaotian fellow, his first summon, was an existence that could be easily killed.

    As such, he had allowed the book to develop naturally just to wait for the final scene of the book. Perhaps when the book reached its end, he wouldn¡¯t even need the godhood of misfortune anymore to obtain full control of this world.

    Luo Yuan smiled coldly. ¡°You people are not the only ones with an alien world on your side.¡±

    ...

    At this time, within the world of The Crystal Pce, Chen Feng¡¯s group was making their preparations as well. To ensure that they could reach their grand goal, to allow the two gods of this world to reconcile, they were pushing forward the plot of this world. The two gods had hidden yuri tendencies. This was confirmed by the fact that Ming Yue did not seem to reject Xiao Ying¡¯s identity as a female too strongly. What they needed was time.

    With Wang Chun¡¯s urge, time passed rapidly. Chen Feng and the rest carefully pushed along the events of this world ording to the author¡¯s original plot. Ultimately, the drama between the two gods reached the peak, and their yuri tendencies werepletely unlocked.

    Wang Chun was filled with mncholy. ¡°So is this the ending of this book?¡±

    All the foreshadowing had been done for this book. As such, when the truth had ultimately been revealed, this world¡¯s plot had naturally developed ordingly. Moreover, this was an all-female yuri world. As such, the predetermined ending wasn¡¯t too out of ce, and Ming Yue naturally epted her fate.

    What was left was to extract the two godhoods from Chen Feng. His gaze became firm. All along, he had never intended to allow Luo Yuan to get his hands on these godhoods. After all, the godhood of misfortune was too important, the key for Luo Yuan to control this world.

    This would be an extremely dangerous step. Even if the probability of Luo Yuan obtaining it was merely one in ten thousand, Chen Feng would still not take the risk. As such, he had to extract the godhoods from himself. As for Luo Yuan? Hehe. Regardless of whether he was waiting for misfortune¡¯s appearance or the mysterious person¡¯s breakthrough, it would all be for naught, as he was waiting for something that didn¡¯t exist.

    In the world of The Crystal Pce, Ming Yue and Shen Wang, having reconciled, were presently converging their unparalleled godly powers.

    Hum¡ª

    A resplendent radiance enveloped Chen Feng. The godhood extraction had begun!

    At present, within a different world, Luo Yuan was following behind the footsteps of a certain someone. One step. Two steps. Before him was a boundless radiance, seemingly unfolding the story of a legend. Luo Yuan¡¯s eyes widened, and he watched on as everything unfolded before him. His heart was filled with shock. So this was what it meant to create a world?

    ...

    Before his eyes, that youth was standing in the void, hovering above a destroyed.

    ¡°Origin, the God that created Heaven and Earth.¡±

    Hum¡ª

    An incorporeal power began to bubble. The fragments, the, and theets around began to revolve ording to thew of that power. Everything was seemingly under that youth¡¯s control.

    The youth spoke his second sentence indifferently. ¡°Earth, the hollow primordial chaos.¡±

    Stars began to converge. The exploded into various fragments, yet with the utterance of this sentence, the fragments all converged together again to assume the form of a sphere. The fragmented stars converged together as well,ing together to form a brand new, a that was so very bright and resplendent.

    The youth spoke his third sentence. ¡°The darkness of the depths.¡±

    The sphere began to transform, and indentations started to appear on it, giving birth to abysses, canyons, edges, corners, and marks. Slowly but surely, it became a with life.

    The youth spoke his fourth sentence. ¡°God¡¯s spirituality traverses the water¡¯s surface.¡±

    Ssh¡ª

    Water appeared on the, filling the valleys and gorges, giving birth to oceans and rivers. The entire becameplete, and the youth stepped on the sea surface casually.

    ¡°God says, let there be light.¡±

    Hum¡ª

    Light appeared, as if the evesting sun had been there since time immemorial. And yet the light that had appeared wasn¡¯t the light of the sun. The youth pointed at the void. There, the moon, which had long since been destroyed, appeared yet again. Just like that, it appeared slowly, hovering where it used to hover. And thus this came to possess a moon.

    ¡°By my name, revolve!¡±

    Hum¡ª

    The final power burst out of his hand. The entire became wless as the atmosphere appeared. Everything that had been lost returned, returning this to the perfect state it had been in during its creation.

    ...

    Luo Yuan watched on silently, extremely shaken. This was his very first time witnessing the creation of a world at such a close distance. He had never experienced the era of the Creation God. As such, he was aware of what his w was. This was also why he had selected this book as his alien world.

    This book had aplete world-creation process. This book had settings that were somewhat simr to the Gic Era. That was why he had selected this book. Different from the lustful Wang Chun, Luo Yuan had had a clear purpose in selecting this book. The only difference was that he had very little time to stay in this world, as this world required utmost care from its creator for it to develop.

    As for Luo Yuan, he had millions upon millions of abilities, each of them needing a certain amount of growth. Some of them could be developed through the wristband alone, but there were some that were unique, such as this book¡¯s ability, which he had to care for personally. As such, Luo Yuan had decided to let this book develop naturally.

    After all, this Godly Model Creator¡¯s main character had a copying ability as well. It detailed the story of someone who ultimately changed the world through great effort in cultivation. Mhm... The early parts of this book contained the growth of this youth. Those had not helped Luo Yuan much. What he had truly wanted from this book was this final scene, the creation of the world.

    Now he had seen what he had wanted to see. With his very own eyes, he had witnessed all the steps of the creation of a world. Hidden in the void, he had witnessed everything. So this was true world creation? Luo Yuan had gained great understanding from this scene. He had a feeling that perhaps he did not even need the godhood of misfortune anymore to be a world-controlling god. Or perhaps, if he could copy the ability of this main character...

    Luo Yuan was tempted. Based on the plot of this book, next would be the arrival of the Kingdom of Heaven. That was the moment where the illusory world and realitybined. Just as Luo Yuan was preparing to make a move, the youth suddenly stopped.

    ¡°So it turns out that you are trying to witness the process of a true ascension?¡± the youth said, a faint smile on his face.

    Luo Yuan nked. Who was this youth talking to? When he raised his head, he saw the youth¡¯s gaze piercing through the void, looking at him. Instantly, his body chilled. He had been discovered? Hold on, how had this youth figured out his line of thought? Instantly, Luo Yuan realized something. This youth had read his mind earlier. It was also at this moment that Luo Yuan suddenly realized a terrifying truth. With this book ability, the world became a true existence. Since Ming Yue could make a move for real, the same naturally applied to this youth.

    Furthermore, different from Ming Yue, the person before possessed truly terrifying strength. Luo Yuan had always been looking down on the strength of this world. However, he had forgotten one important point. The youth before him had reached the realm of world creation, a realm far above his own.

    The youth spoke calmly. ¡°Sorry. In my world, I am the actual main character.¡¯

    ¡°Not good!¡± Luo Yuan had an ominous feeling. Flee! This was his instinctive reaction. s, it was toote. The youth lifted his hand.

    ¡°Destroy!¡±

    A terrifying radiance swept past the void andnded on Luo Yuan. Even though he had immediately tried to leave, he could still sense that terrifying strength.

    Pu!

    He coughed up a mouthful of blood before his consciousness returned to the real world. The clone he had created had actually been instantly destroyed by that youth.

    ¡°How scary.¡±

    A trace of fear surfaced in Luo Yuan¡¯s eyes. So this was what strengthparable to the Creation God¡¯s looked like? Damn it. He had initially nned to make use of this book to gainprehension of world creation, bing a true god of creation. Unexpectedly, he had ended up nearly being killed by the book¡¯s main character instead.

    How hateful. Luo Yuan¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly as he vowed that, one day, he would destroy that person as well. However, it was precisely at this moment that he watched with horror as the azure book floating above his palm transformed into countless light particles and dissipated.

    That world had vanished. In a daze, Luo Yuan looked in the direction those particles were headed, totally dumbfounded. How... was that possible? That youth was so strong that he could use his own alien world to affect this world? So had the main character overthrown him and obtained full control over that world?

    No, that wasn¡¯t right. The moment that youth had created a world, he had already been an existence on the level of the Creation God. As for Luo Yuan, because he had tried to take a peek at a power that surpassed his realm, he was suffering the bacsh.

    This...

    Luo Yuan sank into a long silence. He had once tried doing what Wang Chun had, summoning the characters of the book. It was rather unfortunate that he had only managed to summon that Sun Something guy, who was just a mere viin in the book. Moreover, he was an extremely weak viin.

    This was why Luo Yuan had always regarded the world within the book as weak. He had never expected that the moment that youth reached the realm of world creation, he would be so powerful.

    ¡°I have been careless.¡±

    Luo Yuan knew the reason behind this. If he had done as Wang Chun had and apanied the main character in his growth, fighting together with him, he might perhaps have be good friends with that main character. However, he had not done that. He had allowed the book to progress naturally until the finale before going there to harvest his fruits. He had forgotten that the main character had grown to such a terrifying level. As such, his n had backfired.

    ¡°I still underestimated him. So this is the strength of a god of creation? After bing the controller of the world... will I be stronger?¡±

    Luo Yuan was filled with expectation. He knew that the shortcut he had tried to take had beenpletely sealed. Moreover, he had even lost the entire book. As for where had the book gone, only that youth knew. Luo Yuan no longer had anything to do with that world.

    Regardless, this did not mean that Luo Yuan could not advance his n. After all, he was Luo Yuan. Perhaps... Luo Yuan¡¯s eyes shone as he thought of something.

    Shua!

    Luck Aura activated. His body flitted and instantly appeared in a different corner of the world. There, amid a bunch of trash, a pile of discarded books could be found. One look at the pile and one would know that these books had been printed during the era of peace. Luo Yuan flipped the trash over easily. Next, he walked to the pile of books, then found a familiar book.

    ¡°You then!¡±

 Chapter 837 - Kill!

    <h4>Chapter 837: Kill!</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    In the world of The Crystal Pce, a faint radiance converged. In the middle of it was Chen Feng, and at his sides were Ming Yue and Shen Wang. Their energies met and interweaved in midair before assuming the form of one big heart.

    Chen Feng was dumbstruck as he saw this.

    ¡°Two missies, can you two stop with the excessive public disy of affection?¡± Chen Feng was speechless. Indeed, they had reconciled, as per the original plot. However, this was too much, right? They could even show off their affection while fusing their energy?

    ¡°Hehe.¡± Ming Yue nced at him. ¡°Isn¡¯t this what you wanted?¡±

    Chen Feng: ¡°...Don¡¯t mess around.¡± He rolled his eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t forget that we are still bound by the contract. If you continue to mess around, I will summon you randomly in the future, and I¡¯ll pick times when you two are getting intimate to do so...¡±

    Ming Yue: ¡°...¡±

    Fine. She stopped messing around.

    Shua!

    The energy converged, and finally, the two were done fusing their energy.

    Bang!

    The entire world trembled. When Ming Yue and Shen Wangbined their energies, they aplished what Luo Yuan had always wanted:bining all the godly powers of the world. Now, the two were the controllers of this world.

    Borrowing the unique power of The Crystal Pce, slowly, the consciousnesses of Spirit and the Misfortune Goddess drifted out before slowly entering the two bodies that had been prepared for them. Finally, their consciousnesses returned to the outside world. Not only that, with their departure, both of their godhoods were slowly shifting out of Chen Feng.

    Godhood shifting! Chen Feng¡¯s eyes shone when he noticed this. So long as the shift was a sess, he would no longer have to worry that Luo Yuan would obtain them. He would then be able to break through as he wished.

    Shua!

    A beam of light descended and slowly condensed. s, right at this instant, the world began to tremble, rming everyone. Next, they saw a person they were all familiar with appear in midair. That person was precisely Luo Yuan.

    Bang!

    That person shattered space and stepped into this world.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart jolted. ¡°Luo Yuan?¡± Why had he appeared here?

    Bang!

    The world trembled as that person truly descended upon this world.

    Wang Chun¡¯s expression changed greatly. ¡°Stop him!¡± He joined hands with Shen Yi, Shen Wei, and the others to try to stop Luo Yuan. However, Luo Yuan¡¯s mere aura was sufficient to knock them all away.

    Pu!

    Wang Chun and the rest coughed up blood as they were flung away. Luo Yuan was too powerful.

    Bang!

    That personnded resoundingly.

    Luo Yuan¡¯s gaze merelynded on Wang Chun for a split second before he noticed a distant figure that caused him to doubt his eyes. That was... Chen Feng?

    ¡°Chen Feng!¡± Luo Yuan was in shock. ¡°You are actually still alive?¡±

    He found this totally inconceivable. He had confirmed Chen Feng¡¯s death more than 1,000 times. Each time, the result had been the same: confirmation of Chen Feng¡¯s death. Moreover, he had even obtained the scene of Chen Feng¡¯s death from his deductions. How could Chen Feng still be alive?

    And how could Luck Aura have failed to detect this fellow, who used the same power? How was it possible? How was it possible for this fellow to have been able to hide from him? Luo Yuan was ashen faced. It was no wonder that, even after several decades, he hadn¡¯t been able to find the godhood of misfortune. Since Chen Feng was still alive, how could the godhood of misfortune have appeared?

    No, that did not seem right. He had obviously confirmed that the godhood of misfortune was vacant when he had confirmed Chen Feng¡¯s death. Damn it! Luo Yuan had an unsightly expression. But then again, it no longer mattered.

    ¡°Since you have been discovered by me, you can no longer hide,¡± Luo Yuan said with an ice-cold expression. Instantly, his senses locked down on Chen Feng.

    ¡°How did you appear here?¡± Chen Feng asked. He remembered that Luo Yuan had not selected the same world as Wang Chun.

    ¡°Indeed, I selected a different world. However...¡± Luo Yuan smiled self-mockingly. ¡°That main character called Su Hao was too strong and easily defeated me, then broke free of my control. As such, I was able to construct a new world. This time, I selected The Crystal Pce. Interesting, right?¡± Luo Yuan asked with a faint smile.

    Chen Feng sneered. ¡°Seems like he failed to kill you.¡±

    ¡°Prior to entering that world, I thought for a long time before finally deciding to send my clone. If I had entered personally, I would be dead. Being lucky is a good thing after all, right?¡± Luo Yuan said calmly. Although Su Hao was the main character of that world, Luo Yuan was sure that out here, he was the true main character. On top of that, he was also this world¡¯s sole tyrant.

    ¡°Although I haven¡¯t spent much time developing the new world I constructed, it is, after all, exactly the same as this one. As such, a link of sorts was established. And thus, I have arrived here,¡± Luo Yuan finished with a smile.

    Suddenly, Ming Yue¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. ¡°You killed them.¡± Since Luo Yuan could be here, that signified that the world he had constructed was already fully under his control. Yet that world had surely only been constructed recently. How could he have obtained control over it so fast?

    It was very simple. He killed both Ming Yue and Shen Wang, and he even copied both their godly powers. As such, Luo Yuan had been able to swallow that world for himself.

    Luo Yuan shook his head as hemented, ¡°This is why I was never willing to select this world. This world is too weak. With ease, everyone in that world was exterminated. Next, that world was destroyed and used as a springboard to reach this world. Well, it does not matter. That world no longer exists. However, this world is still here, right?¡±

    As Luo Yuan finished his words somewhat casually, everyone was utterly shocked. He had indeed destroyed an entire world. Even though it was a fictional world, the moment it had been constructed with the ability, those people had be true living beings. Yet Luo Yuan had directly killed them all, the entirety of The Crystal Pce!

    ¡°The moment I entered The Crystal Pce, I knew that I had toe here, as a very ominous aura could be sensed. However, I never imagined that it was actually you, Chen Feng!¡± Luo Yuan¡¯s killing intent surged. The 30 years he had wasted had caused him to develop an extremely deep hatred for Chen Feng. This was a person he had to kill no matter what.

    Chen Feng remained silent. Not far away, the shifting process was on the verge ofpletion.

    ¡°You are trying to buy more time, right?¡± Luo Yuan smiled sinisterly. ¡°However, do you know why I have allowed you this time? Because the cruelest way to deal with someone is to destroy all their hope during the imminent moment of sess. You have allowed me to experience an entire 30 years of such cruelty. Now I shall repay this favor.¡±

    Bang!

    A powerful radiance streaked through the air. This was the power that Luo Yuan had duplicated from the other world¡¯s Ming Yue.

    Bang!

    That power pierced through the air and forcefully insert itself between the powers of Ming Yue and Shen Wang. With this, their powers, which had previously been in harmony, were instantly out of sync. The godhood shifting failed!

    ¡°Failed!¡± Luo Yuan said, a menacing expression on his face. However, he was somewhat astonished to find that Chen Feng hadn¡¯t tried to stop him. Rather, Chen Feng had merely watched on coldly as Luo Yuan foiled the godhood shift.

    ¡°Wang Chun. Lock down the world,¡± Chen Feng said coldly.

    ¡°All right.¡±

    Wang Chun resisted the pain he was feeling and speedily left with Shen Wei and the rest.

    They actually departed this world and returned to reality before locking down this world.

    Luo Yuan frowned. ¡°Mhm?¡±

    Chen Feng rubbed his fists. ¡°Before this, you were nearly killed by Su Hao. As such, with your cautious nature, you would most certainly use only your clone toe to this Crystal Pce world, right? Therefore, you are merely a clone.

    ¡°Therefore, there was no point in stopping you. I just have to kill you and then restart the process. In any case, I am also quite curious. After this world is locked down, severing your connection with the outside world, will the real you outside receive any news from here after I destroy this clone of yours? Can he even find out that I am actually still alive?¡± Chen Feng asked with a sharp gaze, his killing intent surging. Scheming? Chen Feng had never feared anyone in terms of scheming. The moment Luo Yuan had entered this world, Chen Feng had already seen through him.

    Luo Yuan nodded. ¡°You are very smart.¡± He was indeed a clone. After experiencing that incident with Su Hao, he no longer dared to use his real body to visit locations that might pose him any danger. The Creation God of an alien world could very well threaten him.

    As such, he had opted to use a clone. Chen Feng¡¯s n waspletely correct. s...

    ¡°You are not my opponent,¡± Luo Yuan said with an ice cold gaze. ¡°Regardless of how smart your brain is, strength is what matters.¡±

 Chapter 838 - Helpless

    <h4>Chapter 838: Helpless</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    In the world of The Crystal Pce, an earth-shattering battle had erupted. As for Wang Chun and everyone else, they were locking down the world, ensuring that the aura here couldn¡¯t leak outside. Otherwise, if the true Luo Yuan were to appear here, it would be over for them.

    Ka! Ka!

    Cracks appeared in the sky without stop. Wang Chun could only smile bitterly. Could this world trulyst any longer?

    Shen Yi was anxious. ¡°Will this truly work?¡±

    ¡°We have to make it work.¡± Wang Chun clenched his teeth. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Ming Yue and Shen Wang will not watch on as the world is destroyed.¡±

    The Shen Yi sisters nodded resolutely. ¡°Mhm.¡±

    ¡°Gather all the sisters of the Divine Shrine. Also, gather those of the Nether Realm.¡±

    ¡°Mhm.¡±

    Shua!

    Light swirled about as they continued transmitting their powers to the world. Fortunately, the people of the Divine Shrine and the Nether Realm had reconciled their differences. At this moment, everyone in this world was transmitting their powers to the world.

    They were doing this to stabilize this world. In the past, they had cultivated without stop, absorbing the power of the world to gain strength. Now they were returning their power to the world, increasing the world¡¯s stability.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The cracks in the world began to heal.

    Wang Chun clenched his teeth. ¡°Hopefully we can hold on.¡±

    In truth, based on their past experience with the Twin Horns World, at this moment, releasing the lockdown on this world to allow this world to sync with the real world would be the proper choice of action. After all, this world was currently akin to an overfilled balloon. So long as an exit was created so that the excess gas could be vented, stability would be regained.

    s, that wouldn¡¯t help their present situation. Luo Yuan¡¯s clone had to be locked in this world. Chen Feng¡¯s n was very clear. Chen Feng wanted to lock this clone here so he couldn¡¯t escape. This was the first action they had taken upon Luo Yuan¡¯s arrival. This was the only way to ensure that the real Luo Yuan would not notice what was going on.

    ¡°We should be able to hold on for some time,¡± Wang Chun said as he gazed at the sky.

    <i>Chen Feng, everything¡¯s relying on you now.</i>

    ...

    Bang!

    With a deafening boom, Chen Feng¡¯s new godly power, the product of fusion, erupted. For the very first time, that formidable power collided with Luo Yuan¡¯s clone, creating a terrifying shockwave in midair.

    rmingly, even against power at such a level, Luo Yuan¡¯s clone did not dissipate.

    ¡°The power of a true god?¡± Luo Yuan had a look of contemtion. ¡°No, still somewhatcking. If this were the power of a true god, I would already be dead. But I am still able to heal from this.¡±

    Shua!

    His body, which had nearly been destroyed, was instantly restored. That¡¯s right, this was Luo Yuan¡¯s power, shared even to his clone: unlimited healing. Having copied a huge number of restorative abilities, Luo Yuan possessed an astonishing ability to heal. The only way to deal with him wasplete destruction.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Chen Feng erupted and began beating Luo Yuan up. A rain of fistsnded on Luo Yuan¡¯s body.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Luo Yuan was punched into the ground itself, to the point his entire body was nothing but a pile of mangled flesh. The clear sound of flesh being beaten resounded in the air as blood sttered about without stop. This was no different than a living flesh blender. s, even facing such a beating, Luo Yuan¡¯s clone was still alive.

    Hum¡ª

    His body was suffused with a faint radiance as he healed without stop. He could not be destroyed, nor could he be killed. This was the moment that the most terrifying aspect of Luo Yuan was made apparent. Even a clone that only possessed a portion of his strength was capable of this. What about his real body? The mere thought caused them all to sweat profusely.

    Ming Yue had an odd feeling. ¡°This clone is very unique.¡±

    ¡°Mhm.¡± Chen Feng nodded. ¡°Luo Yuan¡¯s clone was directly propagated from his real body. It inherited the strength of the real body and is somewhat different from regr clones. This is also why he has so few clones but each clone is incredibly powerful. However, the disadvantage of using such clones is the reduction of his strength if a clone is destroyed.¡±

    ¡°Very well then.¡± Ming Yue stood up. Eliminating this clone would affect the real body¡¯s strength as well? <i>Splendid. Let¡¯s destroy this clone first, then.</i>

    Shua!

    Light swirled around as Spirit and the Misfortune Goddess¡¯s godhoods were temporarily set aside. With Luo Yuan here, the separation would never seed. Rather than try toplete the separation while Chen Feng fought Luo Yuan, they might as well work together to destroy this clone.

    One could never forget that this was their world.

    Shua!

    Ming Yue and Shen Wang instantly stepped into the battlefield.

    Luo Yuan was rmed by their arrival. ¡°Mhm?¡±

    Bang! Bang!

    Ming Yue erupted with her strongest might. At the same time, Shen Wang¡¯s power, which was of apletely opposite attribute, sted at Luo Yuan as well. Yin and Yang, twopletely different powers, erupted within Luo Yuan¡¯s body. Instantly, his body was ripped apart as the terrifying power fluctuations engulfed his entire body before exploding.

    Bang!

    A boundless radiance shone from the center of the explosion.

    <i>Is it over? </i>everyone wondered as they looked over. s, right at this moment, the badly mangled clump of flesh on the ground began wiggling and reforming together. Luo Yuan was still alive!

    ¡°What damnable ability is this?¡±

    Everyone was horrified. Was this a worm or lizard bloodline? They had no idea. What they were sure of was that Luo Yuan didn¡¯t just have a huge number of healing abilities at his disposal. He had also gathered a huge number of regenerative bloodlines as well. This fellow was too terrifying!

    Chen Feng smiled bitterly. ¡°The abilities of millions of life-forms...¡± Indeed, after using the wristbands to control the world for so many years, Luo Yuan¡¯s strength was this terrifying. His strength was not something that could be measured with logic. His choice to fake his death back then had indeed been the correct choice. Theplete Luo Yuan was much scarier than he had imagined.

    Ming Yue looked at Chen Feng. ¡°What do we do now?¡± This fellow was too strong. Even after insta-killing him, he could still heal. How were they supposed to fight such an opponent?

    Chen Feng looked at Ming Yue instinctively. ¡°Time?¡± Since Ming Yue and Shen Wang were both world controllers now, they could simply freeze Luo Yuan¡¯s time, then kill him. With that, wouldn¡¯t all his abilities stop working?

    Ming Yue shook her head. ¡°Not possible.¡± That wasn¡¯t possible. Even as a world controller, there were still certain things that were out of their control. Time was one of those.

    After all, the world itself was established in the river of time. How could the world be able to control time as it wished? Apart from some minor branches of abilities in the time domain, there was no way one could control time, not even if someone was the world itself.

    Luo Yuan sneered. ¡°How idiotic.¡± Thinking of sealing him up with time? How naive. One ought to know that even in the outside world, amid the many abilities, very few touched upon the domain of time. As such, how could such a tiny world have anything rted to the domain of time?

    Shen Wang frowned. ¡°Then what can we do?¡±

    They had never expected that this would be the result. They couldn¡¯t kill him at all.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    They tried numerous methods, such as attacking both individually and together, with energy of numerous attributes. s, Luo Yuan never stopped healing. His healing ability was truly rmingly powerful. But what if they continued with the godhood separation?

    Bang!

    Luo Yuan started shooting everywhere like he was some madman. After all, he did not fear death, nor could they kill him. With him creating disturbances, the separation couldn¡¯t bepleted. After all, Luo Yuan also possessed formidablebat power. At present, they werepletely helpless against Luo Yuan¡¯s clone.

    ¡°What if we restrict his power?¡± Chen Feng looked at Ming Yue and Shen Wang. ¡°After bing world controllers, the two of you should be able to regte thews of this world, right?¡±

    Ming Yue shook her head. ¡°That won¡¯t work. His power does not originate from this world.¡±

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡±

    He had almost forgotten that. This was like how, when Ming Yue had arrived in the outside world. She had not been subject to thews of the world outside. For the same reason, Luo Yuan¡¯s power wasn¡¯t restricted by thews of this world. In short, the power they gained as world controllers waspletely useless against Luo Yuan? So world controllers were this weak? Chen Feng did not dare believe that.

    ¡°Since he is ipatible with this world, his power won¡¯t be restricted by this world¡¯s limitations. Simrly, he will be rejected by the world. His body will suffer immense damage from each attack. He would have been reduced to ashes long ago if not for his restorative power...¡±

    Ming Yue was feeling very helpless. What could they do against a person with an undying body? At present, as they stopped attacking, Luo Yuan was given a chance to catch a break.

    He howled withughter. ¡°Hahahaha!¡± He was aware of the reason they had stopped attacking him.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t this surprising? Isn¡¯t this exciting?¡± Luo Yuanughed like a madman. ¡°You bunch of idiots. You guys actually believed that you could destroy me with such a method? How naive. Now, have you guys realized how strong I truly am? Haha.¡±

    Bang! Bang!

    Chen Feng started raining punches down on Luo Yuan again. s, it was pointless.

    ¡°Just this much? With this speed?¡± Luo Yuan kept sneering. ¡°You can¡¯t even defeat my clone, yet you dream of defeating my main body?¡±

    Bang! Bang!

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly as he punched down furiously. His punches, which were suffused with his new godly power, were iparably terrifying. This power... Luo Yuan¡¯s heart throbbed, as he seemed to sense something. This new godly power of Chen Feng¡¯s seemed to contain misfortune? After numerous punches, he seemingly understood something. What if this power was copied? Perhaps he would be able to obtain partial control over the world? After all, this power contained misfortune!

    If this godly power could be copied, he would obtain a partial power of misfortune. This would definitely work! Luo Yuan was tempted. Moreover, it seemed like Chen Feng had yet to realize this? Luo Yuan smiled at this realization.

    Luo Yuan continued to provoke Chen Feng. ¡°Come at me, Chen Feng! Are you this weak?¡±

    ¡°Hmph!¡± Chen Feng did not answer.

    Bang! Bang!

    He continued transforming his new godly power.

    Chen Feng seemed to be testing out the usage methods of his new godly power with Luo Yuan as the punching bag. He was trying to see whichbination would be the effective one to defeat Luo Yuan. This was quite a sensible choice for their present situation. As for Luo Yuan, he did not mind at all. After all, this was a brand new godly power he was experiencing firsthand.

    Hum¡ª

    Each time the new godly power hit his body, a shockwave was unleashed within his body and he absorbing a tiny amount. Each punch of Chen Feng¡¯s supplied a small portion of the new godly power to him. With this, he also gained a small amount of the power of misfortune with each punch.

    Luo Yuan focused on extracting the traces of the power of misfortune before slowly converging them together. He was sure that the moment hepiled enough to form theplete power of misfortune, he would be a world controller as well. Haha, what a blockhead. Chen Feng was delivering to him precisely what he wanted.

    Luo Yuan had a crazy look on his face as he said, ¡°Come at me!¡±

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Luo Yuan was attempting to anger Chen Feng. ¡°Come! Kill me and Wang Yao will return to you! Kill me!¡±

    Indeed. With his provocations, Chen Feng began to fight him in close quarters. They were drenched in blood from their bitter battle. The strength of each punch was capable of shaking one to the core.

    ¡°Chen Feng...¡± Ming Yue felt like Chen Feng was in a bad condition and wanted to advise him. However, she ultimately shook her head.

    Shen Wang sighed. ¡°We only need to focus on guarding this world.¡± She could feel that the world was getting unstable. If the three of them continued working together against Luo Yuan, this world might copse for real. With Wang Chun and the rest¡¯s strength, they had no way of stabilizing this world. As such, the two of them could only focus on protecting this world.

    This was the only way to stabilize this world¡¯s existence. As for Chen Feng, he was fighting Luo Yuan one on one. The two werepletely drenched in blood, the ground trembling nonstop as shocking fluctuations spreading everywhere without stop.

    ¡°Faster! Hit harder! Come! Don¡¯t stop! Ah!¡±

    ...

    Ming Yue: ¡°...¡±

    Shen Wang: ¡°...¡±

    Shen Wang was still anxious. ¡°Is this really fine?¡±

    Ming Yue shook her head. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It is enough for us to focus on stabilizing the world. This clone of Luo Yuan¡¯s is alreadypletely cut off from the outside world. Without knowing the real situation here, Luo Yuan¡¯s real body will not dare toe hastily. Moreover, he doesn¡¯t know that Chen Feng is here. Therefore, our best chance is to exhaust this clone to death. So long as he can¡¯t contact the real body, it will be fine. We can focus on godhood separation after that,¡± Ming Yue said coldly.

    Shen Wang frowned. ¡°How long will this take?¡±

    ¡°In any case, we don¡¯tck time at all,¡± Ming Yue said unhurriedly. At present, with Chen Feng faking his death, the real Luo Yuan had no realpetition. Whether it took one year or ten years, everything was worth it. As for Luo Yuan? Heh. After a powerful clone, one that was nigh undefeated, vanished in this world, would he dare to enter personally?

    No, he wouldn¡¯t. In fact, the real Luo Yuan was indeed conflicted about this. Unknown to them, Luo Yuan had experienced something very terrifying before this. He had already faced a certain terrifying youth. That youth had easily destroyed Luo Yuan¡¯s clone. He hadn¡¯t even taken Luo Yuan seriously, yet the destruction of Luo Yuan¡¯s clone had been instantaneous.

    Moreover, that youth hadn¡¯t bothered severing the clone¡¯s connection with the real world because he wanted to take the opportunity toe out into the real world to destroy that book, key to that youth¡¯s world.

    That youth called Su Hao was too terrifying, as was the strength of the world within Godly Model Creator. What about the world of The Crystal Pce? Luo Yuan¡¯s initial assumption had been that this world was extremely weak. After all, Ming Yue had once appeared in this world and Luo Yuan had seen her through the wristband. However... Mhm...

    Luo Yuan suddenly realized the w in his thoughts. Back when he had summoned Sun Yaotian from the world of Godly Model Creator, that fellow had been incredibly weak as well. However, the main character had still ended up being so terrifyingly powerful at the end of the book.

    Therefore, the way in which he had judged their strength was definitely incorrect. In the world of The Crystal Pce, Ming Yue or Shen Wang could very well be much more terrifying than he had imagined. Perhaps his clone sent there had been instantaneously killed as well? The mere thought caused Luo Yuan to tremble in fear. Go there with his real body? No way. That was way too risky.

    ¡°What exactly is happening there?¡±

    Luo Yuan narrowed his gaze as he stared into the distance, waiting for the result. Provided he could even receive a result.

 Chapter 840 - The Two Golden People

    <h4>Chapter 840: The Two Golden People</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    Within the world of The Crystal Pce, Chen Feng and Luo Yuan were still engaged in closebat.

    ¡°Will he be in danger?¡± Shen Wang asked as she looked at Chen Feng. She could see that Chen Feng did not have much of an advantage. This was especially true since Luo Yuan was fighting like a madman who did not care about his life. Chen Feng had sustained quite a few injuries.

    Ming Yue shook her head. ¡°No worries. With Xiao Ying around, he will be fine.¡± If she was going to be worried about someone, it wouldn¡¯t be Chen Feng. She had personally witnessed Xiao Ying¡¯s strength, which was now one of Chen Feng¡¯s powerful trump cards. If Chen Feng encountered any actual danger, Xiao Ying woulde out.

    Even in this situation, Chen Feng hadn¡¯t called Xiao Ying out. It was apparent that Chen Feng still had some confidence. He was also keeping Xiao Ying hidden for any sudden trump cards of Luo Yuan¡¯s. As such, there was no need for them to be worried about Chen Feng right now. That fellow was a deep schemer. Moreover, she doubted that Chen Feng would truly go crazy and lose his reason over Wang Yao.

    So what exactly was Chen Feng thinking? Perhaps Chen Feng was of the same opinion as her and wanted to buy more time?

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Terrifying energy fluctuations spread everywhere. The fight between Chen Feng and Luo Yuan became even more intense.

    <i>A little bit more! </i>Luo Yuan was in ecstasy. He could clearly feel the power of misfortune from Chen Feng¡¯s punches, which were suffused with the new godly power. As time went on, hisprehension of the power of misfortune was growing.

    <i>Haha. Thanks, Chen Feng. This idiot seems to have forgotten about the power of misfortune? Tsk tsk...</i>

    Each punch of Chen Feng¡¯s contained the power of misfortune. For Luo Yuan, with his Copy ability, this was extremely good news. Punch after punch, time after time. Luo Yuan wished he could simply lie on the ground and be beaten by Chen Feng so as to allow the power of misfortune to be sent into his body. He was enjoying this greatly and had zero intention of resisting Chen Feng¡¯s punches.

    However, he was clear that if he actually stopped resisting, Chen Feng would grow suspicious. Thus, Luo Yuan had to resist. He had to resist earnestly, with all his might.

    Moreover, he had to give Chen Feng the impression that they were evenly matched. Thus, he unleashed numerous attacks on Chen Feng as they engaged in this bitter struggle. Inwardly, Luo Yuan kept track of the progress: 98%... 98.1%... 98.2%...

    ...

    Chen Feng punched without stop, and Luo Yuan forcefully suppressed his delight. During such a crucial moment, he could not allow Chen Feng any suspicions. He had to make sure Chen Feng kept beating him up.

    Bang!

    Yet another punchnded.

    Bang! Bang!

    The progress continued: 99.93%... 99.98%...

    Luo Yuan¡¯s heart throbbed. ¡°Here ites!¡± One more punch was all it would take! So long as this punchnded, he would seed and could proceed to be a world controller. The sound of that punch was already by his ear. Come! Come! Luo Yuan was extremely agitated.

    Bang!

    He focused his senses on theing terrifying power as he prepared to wee Chen Feng¡¯s final eruption and baptize himself in that attack. Unexpectedly, the sound of theing fist suddenly vanished.

    Luo Yuan was somewhat dumbfounded. Stopped? He lifted his head and looked forward in a somewhat bbergasted manner. Chen Feng had actually stopped his attack at such a crucial moment. Damn it! What in the world? Luo Yuan cursed inwardly. Was Chen Feng not a man?

    ¡°Hehe.¡± Suddenly, Chen Feng smiled. ¡°Being beaten up is veryfortable, isn¡¯t it?¡±

    ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Luo Yuan said fiercely. He was still feigning his anger, not willing to reveal his true goal.

    ¡°Hehehehe.¡± Chen Feng smiled. ¡°Has your absorption of the power of misfortune gone smoothly?¡±

    Luo Yuan was instantly shocked. So Chen Feng had actually seen through him?

    Nevertheless, Luo Yuan feigned ignorance. ¡°What are you talking about?¡±

    Chen Feng shook his head. ¡°Hehe. Since you enjoy being beaten up, let me lend you a hand.¡±

    Shua!

    Chen Feng strode forth and instantly appeared before Luo Yuan.

    Bang!

    A punch shot out. Instantly, a terrifying power bloomed.

    The strength of that attack caused Luo Yuan¡¯s heart to palpitate. Despite the strength of the attack, due to how much Luo Yuan was anticipating having the power of misfortune, he still decided not to erect any defenses.

    Bang!

    The punchnded.

    Pu!

    Luo Yuan coughed up a mouthful of blood. In his chest was a huge hole left behind by Chen Feng¡¯s prating punch. Blood poured out without stop. As for Luo Yuan¡¯s regenerative speed, it had actually greatly decreased.

    Luo Yuan was rmed. ¡°How is this possible?¡± Since when had Chen Feng been so powerful? He was clearly still not at the true-god stage. What Luo Yuan didn¡¯t dare to believe was the fact that, in Chen Feng¡¯s final punch, there had been no power of misfortune. That¡¯s right, no misfortune had been contained within that punch, not even a tiny little bit. Chen Feng seemed to havepletely removed the power of misfortune.

    Was that even possible? The power of misfortune had already seeped into him, bing a part of his godly power. Separating the power of misfortune from his godly power should not be possible. Unless...

    Luo Yuan thought of something. This would only be possible if the power of misfortune was neutralized using the power of luck. Chen Feng had to utilize even more luck to neutralize the unique property of misfortune. This was the only way topletely remove the power of misfortune from his attack.

    ¡°Damn it!¡± Luo Yuan was rmed. It seemed like Chen Feng had indeed seen through him.

    Chen Feng smiled faintly. ¡°Quite simple, right?¡±

    Luo Yuan¡¯s killing intent surged. ¡°Why did you y along if you had already realized this?¡±

    So all this while, Chen Feng had merely been ying along with him?

    ¡°Naturally.¡± Chen Feng beamed as he looked at Luo Yuan. ¡°What a perfect n this was. How Could I not y along? It not only allowed you to partially obtain the power of misfortune, but it also allowed me to fuse with all your powers...¡±

    Shua!

    Chen Feng¡¯s true aura erupted. His aura was now much stronger than it had been before.

    ¡°Truly... a wless power,¡± Chen Feng muttered. His fake nascent soul had devoured a huge number of powers. To allow Chen Feng to beat him up, Luo Yuan had opted to use different powers each time he collided with Chen Feng. This had allowed Chen Feng a chance to fuse with all of Luo Yuan¡¯s powers. In this battle, Chen Feng was not the only person to have cooperated with his opponent¡¯s n. Luo Yuan had also been cooperating with Chen Feng¡¯s n. Both had simrly been putting on a y.

    Chen Feng was extremely pleased. ¡°If you were from the same era as me, you might even have been able to obtain something called an Oscar.¡±

    Luo Yuan¡¯s gaze was ice cold. This damnable Chen Feng!

    Bang!

    He was brimming with anger. He had never expected the n he was so proud of and confident in to actually be seen through by Chen Feng. When he had assumed that his n was progressing smoothly, he had in fact been cooperating with Chen Feng¡¯s n instead. This caused him an intense feeling of shame.

    ¡°You are courting death,¡± Luo Yuan spat coldly.

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. ¡°These words are what I should be saying to you.¡±

    Shua!

    Instantly, Chen Feng vanished. When he reappeared, he was already beside Luo Yuan.

    Bang!

    A punchnded.

    Pu!

    Luo Yuan¡¯s body arched into the shape of a bow from the punch as he coughed up blood like mad. Half his body even started dissolving into particles. If Luo Yuan hadn¡¯t forcefully activated his regenerative power, he would have died from that single attack. This strength... and this speed...

    ¡°You...¡±

    Finally, Luo Yuan was afraid. He had never expected that, despite how little time had passed, Chen Feng¡¯s strength would grow to such an extent. This was way too powerful and way too astonishing.

 Chapter 841 - Collapse of the World

    <h4>Chapter 841: Copse of the World</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    ¡°As I said, I am thankful for your cooperation,¡± Chen Feng said with a cold expression. He had required more powers to fuse into his brand new godly power. Despite the fact that this Luo Yuan was much weaker than the real Luo Yuan, this clone had the same exact powers as the original Luo Yuan. As such, a huge amount of powers were supplied to Chen Feng. Indeed, Luo Yuan had been scheming against Chen Feng. However, Chen Feng had been scheming against Luo Yuan as well.

    Bang!

    Chen Feng rained punches down on Luo Yuan. Slowly, Luo Yuan¡¯s body began to copse. Chen Feng was too strong. After absorbing Luo Yuan¡¯s numerous powers, Chen Feng¡¯s new godly power had reached an astonishing level of strength, giving Chen Feng the feeling that even without breaking through, he was alreadyparable to a true god.

    Bang!

    Yet another punchnded. Finally, Luo Yuan¡¯s body copsed, and with a bang, he transformed into a bloody mist. Chen Feng did nothing else, merely watching silently. Sure enough, Luo Yuan began regenerating once again. Rebirth... This was a certain passive resurrection ability Luo Yuan had copied.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. ¡°Again!¡±

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    He started beating Luo Yuan up once again. Shortly after, Luo Yuan resurrected himself with a different ability.

    ¡°Again!¡±

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Once again, Luo Yuan was killed. This was followed by yet another resurrection. Chen Feng frowned. This was a different ability again. Back then, when copying the various abilities, Luo Yuan had copied at least several hundred resurrection abilities. To truly put an end to Luo Yuan, he had to be killed enough times that all of these abilities werepletely exhausted.

    However, with the huge number of resurrection abilities that Luo Yuan possessed, by the time he was killed enough to use all those abilities once, the abilities that he had initially used would probably be avable again. The only solution was topletely exhaust Luo Yuan¡¯s energy. After all, the act of resurrection required energy as well.

    s, Chen Feng could only shake his head at this thought. Luo Yuan most certainly possessed numerous energy-restorative abilities like what Kong Bai had. As such, it would be impossible to exhaust Luo Yuan¡¯s energy.

    After numerous resurrections, Luo Yuan finally understood something. ¡°Haha, you can¡¯t kill me! Even though you have grown stronger, you still can¡¯t kill me. Haha.¡±

    Luo Yuan was in ecstasy at this realization. This was his strongest aspect, his undying body.

    He had initially believed that, after the transformation of Chen Feng¡¯s godly power, Chen Feng would be able to instantly kill him. Now that he looked at it, he had been thinking too much. So long as Chen Feng did not advance into the true-god stage, Luo Yuan would be safe from him.

    ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I will break through first, then kill you,¡± Chen Feng said with a smile.

    Luo Yuan nked. ¡°What?¡±

    Chen Feng proceeded to beat Luo Yuan until Luo Yuan was dying before tossing him into a specially created cage.

    ¡°I can¡¯t kill you. However, I can lock you down,¡± Chen Feng said emotionlessly. ¡°This cage is capable of sealing all abilities. Of course, it can¡¯t seal your passive abilities. However... you can¡¯t aplish much with your passive abilities alone, right? Just stay there obediently as I break through. Then get killed by me,¡± Chen Feng said with a sneer.

    Soon, Ming Yue and Shen Wang came over and helped separate the godhoods from him. This was the moment when Luo Yuan finally felt fear. He recalled what they had been trying to do earlier. They were trying to separate the two godhoods from Chen Feng. Once that was done, Chen Feng would be able to break through without any concerns. Damn it! Chen Feng had actually managed to reach this step.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Chen Feng said gently, ¡°when I be a true god, I will kill you.¡±

    ¡°Chen Feng!¡± Luo Yuan was greatly rmed by this development. Damn it. What should he do? Chen Feng was going to be a true god, yet he seemed incapable of stopping this at all. This damnable fellow had been hiding here for so many years and had now reached this level. When Chen Feng appeared in the real world once again in the future, he would be able to threaten even Luo Yuan¡¯s real body.

    So that damnable 1% failure rate was actually referring to this event? Could Luo Yuan¡¯s real body even discover this secret? The clone greatly doubted it. If this were the Luo Yuan of the past, he would most certainly be maintaining the highest state of vignce at all times. However, Luo Yuan had been the master of the world for way too long.

    Was he still as vignt as he had been? Would he be able to notice all this? This clone was unsure. At the very least, this clone had fallen into such a predicament precisely because he hadn¡¯t known anything.

    Bang!

    A beam of light shot up. Luo Yuan¡¯s clone¡¯s eyes opened wide. Not far away, Chen Feng¡¯s body was blooming with a resplendent radiance. The power that uniquely belonged to him was being split apart. From midair, a beam of light shot down andbined with the beam of light within Chen Feng¡¯s body. Slowly, the beam was transformed into two bright beams that proceeded to enter two brand new bodies.

    After a long time, the two brand new bodies opened their eyes, revealing two sharp gazes.

    ¡°Done,¡± one of them said in joy. This was the Misfortune Goddess. She had finally fully awakened in the outside world.

    The other body appeared excited as well. ¡°Too amazing.¡± This was Spirit. She finally had a body of her own. As a consciousness that had been destroyed once in the past, she was finally a person. To be precise, both she and the Misfortune Goddess were gods, gods with divine seats and godhoods. The Misfortune Goddess and the Luck Goddess.

    ¡°We still have our godhoods. However, we have too little godly power, and we¡¯ll have to cultivate from scratch,¡± said the Misfortune Goddess. Back then, Chen Feng had extracted all their godly power to fuse into his new godly power. As such, these two were currently akin to empty shells and had to restart their cultivation.

    Chen Feng was very pleased with this development. These two had finally separated from him and the misfortune godhood was finally not attached to him anymore. With this, so long as the Misfortune Goddess remained alive, Luo Yuan would not be able to be a world controller.

    Luo Yuan would forever be one single godly power away from being able to be a world controller. Hehe. Could Luo Yuan have imagined that this might happen? Now, it was time for Chen Feng to focus on himself. He focused his gaze as he looked up at the sky. The cohesiveness of his new godly power had already reached a sufficient level. His initially weak godly power was now extremely terrifying after fusing with millions of powers. His breakthrough into the true god stage was imminent.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. ¡°Come!¡±

    Bang!

    Thunder roared in the sky. Chen Feng¡¯s aura roiled out as his new godly power pierced straight toward the clouds. Heaven and earth alike shook as a terrifying power descended, seemingly trying to swallow Chen Feng.

    Bang! Bang!

    In the sky, a huge pair of eyes had seemingly appeared. A pair of golden and resplendent eyes.

    A suffocating power appeared in the sky. Chen Feng¡¯s body suddenly felt heavy, as if a huge mountain range was loaded onto his body. <i>Come! </i>Chen Feng¡¯s godly power surged. However, just as he was about to erupt at full power to break through, countless cracks suddenly appeared in the sky.

    Huh?

    Chen Feng was dazed. These would appear when one broke through into the true-god stage? However, he was able to figure out what this was a split secondter. Instantly, his face fell as he withdrew his aura. Only then did the cracks in the sky heal up.

    ¡°That is...¡± Chen Feng had a vague guess.

    Ming Yue red at him. ¡°Traces of the world copsing. This world is too small and is incapable of enduring your eruption. If you want to be a true god, you have to go to the outside world.¡±

    Outside world? Chen Feng¡¯s heart trembled. Damn it! That was the domain of Luo Yuan. He would have to break through right under Luo Yuan¡¯s nose?

    <h4>Chapter 842: There Is One Person Capable of Killing You</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    Was that even possible? Chen Feng felt helpless. Everything had progressed as he¡¯d nned. Even if Luo Yuan sent another clone here, they could just imprison that clone as well, all with the actual Luo Yuanpletely clueless about what was happening here.

    Unfortunately, he had encountered another problem instead. This world was too small. After all, the world Wang Chun had selected back then was the world of The Crystal Pce. Here, the strongest existences were merely Ming Yue and Shen Wang. Just the fight between Chen Feng and Luo Yuan had been pushing this world to the brink of destruction. If he chose to be a true god here, this world would likely be reduced to nothingness.

    At this time, Luo Yuan, who was trapped in the cage, horrified, finally understood what was going on. Instantly, he howled withughter. ¡°Hahaha, this is too funny. So it turns out that this world ispletely incapable of enduring your breakthrough. If you have the guts, why don¡¯t you return to the outside world? Do you want me to think of an idea for you? Hahaha. You don¡¯t even need to leave this world. You only need to join this world with the outside world, like what happened with the Twin Horns World back then. With that, you will be able to break through, as the pressure will be shared across this world and the outside world. After you finish your breakthrough, you can once again sever the connection between the two worlds. What do you think of my n?¡± Luo Yuan asked whileughing heartily.

    Chen Feng merely sneered. ¡°Hehe.¡± Indeed, this n sounded wonderful. However, the moment he did that, this clone would be able to reestablish a connection with his real body. Instantly, the real Luo Yuan would figure out everything that had happened here. He would surelye here immediately to destroy Chen Feng and everyone in this world.

    At that time, Chen Feng would probably die before he could even break through. This was the scariest thing. What had Chen Feng relied upon against Luo Yuan all these years? He had relied on the unknown, his faked death, and spreading fake news to Luo Yuan.

    Luo Yuan was simply unaware that Chen Feng was still alive. That was why he had been falling into Chen Feng¡¯s traps without stop. However, the moment he discovered the truth, Chen Feng would not be able to survive his onught. Over these 30 years, Chen Feng had not been the only one to grow stronger; Luo Yuan had grown as well. As such, Chen Feng had to be careful.

    However...

    Chen Feng fixed his gaze on the clone before him.

    The solution provided by this clone was in fact quite good. Although it had the risk of revealing this world to Luo Yuan, so long as they controlled the connection properly, they might be able to stay concealed. He could continue hiding within this world while allowing the outside world to endure the pressure of his breakthrough.

    With that, the only thing Luo Yuan could know was the fact that someone had broken through into the true-god stage. That was all he would know. Naturally, this n couldn¡¯t seed unless they first ensured Luo Yuan could not reestablish his connection with this clone.

    At present, this clone was locked into this world and was incapable of linking his consciousness with the real Luo Yuan. However, the moment a connection was established between the two worlds, everything here would be transmitted straight to the real Luo Yuan. This was something they had to deal with. Chen Feng sank into a deep contemtion, his gaze resting on the clone before him.

    ¡°What are you thinking about now?¡±

    The smile on the clone¡¯s face froze. This bastard Chen Feng had been staring at him for more than 10 minutes now. This caused a sinister feeling to rise within his heart. It couldn¡¯t be that, after figuring out that the clone couldn¡¯t be killed, Chen Feng was thinking of doing something else to him, right? Holy sh*t. Luo Yuan had always been straight!

    ¡°Not quite,¡± Chen Feng answered his doubts. ¡°I have no interest in you. However, the n you proposed earlier is indeed quite interesting.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Luo Yuanughed dryly. ¡°Interesting?¡±

    He had merely been intending to shame Chen Feng by proposing an impossible n. If Chen Feng actually tried to do what he had said, Chen Feng would die very shortly afterward. He had not believed that Chen Feng would be this stupid.

    Chen Feng nodded seriously. ¡°Mhm. Although I can¡¯t do what you said, the general angle of your solution is correct. I only need to somewhat alter it and I will be able to proceed.¡±

    Luo Yuan was curious. ¡°Which part will you alter?¡±

    Chen Feng looked at him emotionlessly. ¡°I shall first kill you before attempting to break through. So long as you are dead, you will not be able to establish a link with him. Next, I can do what you suggested earlier. There will be no problems.¡±

    ¡°Kill me?¡± Luo Yuan was first stunned, and then he howled withughter. ¡°Hahahaha! Kill me? Hahahaha. Chen Feng, you are getting funnier. Oh my gosh, this is too funny. Hahaha.¡±

    He truly found this funny. Kill him? If Chen Feng could truly kill him, would Chen Feng have wasted so much time talking to him here? In the first ce, the very reason Chen Feng was trying to break through was to kill him.

    Even though this was a mere clone, Chen Feng was still incapable of killing him. Only after bing a true god would Chen Feng be equipped with the capability to truly kill him. In other words, to kill him, Chen Feng had to first be a true god. However, to be a true god, Chen Feng needed to first kill him.

    Hahahaha. This was simply a dead end, was it not? An unsolvable puzzle. Chen Feng had told him this so seriously, yet Luo Yuan found this utterly funny. So that intelligent trickster Chen Feng had be so stupid now?

    Luo Yuan looked at Chen Feng in disdain. ¡°Regardless of whether it¡¯s this clone or my real body, you can¡¯t kill me.¡±

    Chen Feng shook his head. ¡°No. I indeed said that you need to be killed. However, I never said that I will be the one doing the killing.¡±

    Luo Yuan was doubtful. Who would be the one to kill him then? Ming Yue? Shen Wang? Chen Feng was already the strongest person here. Who could rece him?

    ¡°There is still someone else capable of killing you,¡± Chen Feng said with a smile.

    Luo Yuan narrowed his gaze. ¡°Who?¡±

    Chen Feng smiled. ¡°You. To be precise, the real Luo Yuan.¡±

    Luo Yuan¡¯s eyes went wide. What exactly... was this fellow talking about?

    ¡°You will know soon,¡± Chen Feng muttered. Suddenly, he called Wang Chun over. ¡°Watch this fellow properly. I need to take a trip back to the outside world.¡±

    Outside world? The caged Luo Yuan¡¯s heart throbbed as he heard this. Chen Feng was thinking of leaving? Hehe. So he was trying to seek an alternative in the outside world? Interesting. This was indeed a good idea. However, this world was presently locked down. If Chen Feng wanted to leave, they had to first establish a connection, right? That would be his chance!

    Luo Yuan became excited as he thought about this. So these fellows thought that locking him in here would be sufficient? Hehe. They had no way of knowing that some abilities could not be blocked. As a clone, the connection between him and the real Luo Yuan was extremely strong.

    Only a tiny crack was required for a connection to be established between the clone and the real body. At that time, wouldn¡¯t things be interesting? Hehe. Luo Yuan was secretly delighted. Naturally, he still maintained his nk, expressionless face with as he stayed obediently in the cage.

    ¡°No problem.¡± Wang Chun nced over at Luo Yuan, seemingly not worried at all. The clone was locked in a cage like a dog and had zero destructive capabilities. In any case, even if he could escape the cage, he would not be a match for Ming Yue and Shen Wang. After all, this was their world.

    Perhaps this clone had indeed eliminated the other world of The Crystal Pce. However, the Ming Yue and Shen Wang of that world had definitely still been hostile to each other and had fought independently. Here, though, they were a couple. From the result of the short sh they¡¯d had earlier, Luo Yuan was simply not a match for the two of them. Therefore, Wang Chun had no worries about this world. He was only worried about Chen Feng.

 Chapter 843 - Luo Yuanâ€™s Doubt

    <h4>Chapter 843: Luo Yuan¡¯s Doubt</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    ¡°Will he be fine in the outside world?¡±

    Wang Chun was filled with anxiousness. He was not aware of Chen Feng¡¯s n. However, in the outside world, a certain terrifying true god¡¯s attention was focused here. Chen Feng going out alone was truly too dangerous.

    Chen Feng smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry too much. I know what to do.¡±

    Wang Chun nodded ¡°All right.¡±

    ¡°Even though Luo Yuan¡¯s clone is locked down, making it easier to ensure he cannot establish a connection with his real self, we must still ensure that no connection whatsoever can be established between this world and the outside world,¡± Chen Feng said. ¡°I will move in and out through the link between Xiao Ying and Ming Yue. Under no circumstances are you to open up the connection.¡±

    Wang Chun¡¯s expression became solemn. ¡°Understood.¡±

    Shua!

    Tearing a portal in midair, Chen Feng vanished. As Luo Yuan saw this, he became iparably excited. This was his chance, as a connection had been established with the outside world by Chen Feng himself. He had been watching on expressionlessly. The moment Chen Feng ripped space apart, he nearly revealed his excitement. So long as a connection was established, even if Chen Feng was the only one to go out...

    Hehe. He would be able to instantly connect to his real self. This little cage waspletely incapable of stopping him from connecting with himself. Luo Yuan was getting excited. s, surprising him, even though a connection had already been established with the outside world, he was still unable to connect with his true self.

    What was going on? Sealed again? Not possible. Chen Feng was not a true god; how could he be capable of this? What exactly was going on, then? Instinctively, Luo Yuan looked over at the tear in midair left by Chen Feng, which was already closing up. Suddenly, an astonished expression appeared on his face. This crack...

    Damn it! This portal opened by Chen Feng did not connect to the real world. Rather, it connected to a region of spatial currents. There just a huge and vast nothingness there. That was not the outside world. Chen Feng had actually stepped into the spatial currents by himself? However, this thought had merely shed by before Luo Yuan understood what was going on. That damnable Chen Feng!

    To ensure that he could not connect with his real self, Chen Feng had used a region of spatial currents as a springboard to move between the outside world and this world. That region was too chaotic and was capable of crushing all auras and energy. As such, Chen Feng had chosen to go out through there. As for the dangers posed by that region?

    That ce was dangerous to everyone, including true gods. That was a region of chaotic spatial currents. One could never know where it would lead.

    Chen Feng was an exception thanks to his godly power of luck. Even though he had already separated the godhood of luck from himself, his new godly power was iparably powerful and had fused with a huge amount of the power of luck. As such, he could convert it to pure luck for his own usage as he wished.

    In that kind of ce, luck was the strongest of all powers. As such, it was impossible for a mishap to befall Chen Feng there.

    Luo Yuan clenched his teeth. ¡°A fine move, Chen Feng.¡±

    He had never expected Chen Feng to have such a trick up his sleeves. It seemed like hoping for Chen Feng to reveal a weakness was an impossible dream. However, why had that fellow decided to go to the outside world? How would Luo Yuan kill his own clone? Hehe. What a joke.

    Moreover, there was something Chen Feng did not know. Even if the real Luo Yuan wanted to kill the clone, he would not be able to aplish that, as a connection couldn¡¯t be established with this world. After all, without a connection, the self-destruct order could not be transmitted here. How naive. But what if Chen Feng reestablished a connection at that specific moment?

    Things would be even more interesting, as the clone¡¯s memories would be instantly shared with the real Luo Yuan. At that time, the real Luo Yuan would know everything that had happened here. He would know that the world of the Crystal Pce was in fact iparably weak. His next course of action would be to destroy this world. He would also discover Chen Feng and proceed to put an end to him for real.

    Luo Yuan sneered. ¡°Chen Feng, is that what you want?¡±

    He was a clone, but he was also real. As a true god, as a clone that was capable of maintaining an absolute connection with his real body, he was merely slightly weaker than the real body. The strength of their connection was something Chen Feng had no way of imagining.

    Luo Yuan¡¯s gaze was ice cold. ¡°I am curious. How are you going to kill me?¡±

    ...

    At this time, in the outside world, Luo Yuan was still staring at the air. How long had it been? He calcted the time in silence. He seemed to havepletely lost his connection with his clone.

    He had chosen to construct The Crystal Pce as his alien world. This was the same book Wang Chun had chosen. Next, he had sent his clone over to gain understanding of that world. However, the understanding the clone had gained was merely of the book¡¯s early period. Nearly every book would reach a situation where minor gods were more worthless than dogs while major gods were everywhere toward the end.

    Therefore, to avoid this urrence, he had used his clone to destroy the entire world. In his version of The Crystal Pce, Ming Yue and Shen Wang, everything and everyone had been eliminated by his clone. Even those two had merely caused his clone a slight inconvenience. They were still incredibly weak. The only thing he had left in that world was a connection he could use to hop into Wang Chun¡¯s world.

    They should already have a full understanding of The Crystal Pce¡¯s power system. As such, after the clone entered, he should have been able to kill everyone there and give him a report. s, no such thing had happened. After entering the world, his clone had gone missing. Why? What had happened? Luo Yuan did not even dare try to pry into what was happening there.

    After his previous experience with Su Hao, he did not dare to recklessly enter an alien world. Moreover, if even his clone had been instantly killed, him going there personally would be pointless. An existence capable of instantly killing his clone would most definitely be extremely terrifying, along the likes of that Su Hao. The mere thought of Su Hao caused Luo Yuan¡¯s spine to chill. In short, something simr had happened in the world of The Crystal Pce?

    Luo Yuan frowned. ¡°What exactly happened there?¡± The only difference between Wang Chun¡¯s The Crystal Pce and his own was the time they had been established. His world had been in the early period of the book, whereas Wang Chun¡¯s world had already reached thete period. As such, the power system of that world might have changed? Or perhaps, due to an energy transformation, an even more terrifying existence had appeared?

    Luo Yuan couldn¡¯t know, as such things weren¡¯t in the original book. Due to Wang Chun¡¯s existence and his interference, that world might have developed in an entirely different way. After all, even the Gic Era had gone through numerous transformations.

    In the early period, A-ss warriors had been the peak of the food chain. Next, it had be beyond A ss, followed by S ss, until it reached the present, where gods were everywhere. As such, his own version of The Crystal Pce might be simr to the early Gic Era, where A-ss warriors ruled, while Wang Chun¡¯s The Crystal Pce might have reached thete period, where gods were everywhere?

    Was that why something had urred the instant his clone entered? His clone had gonepletely missing. Even whether he was alive or dead remained unknown. What exactly had happened there?

 Chapter 844 - The Terrifying Truth

    <h4>Chapter 844: The Terrifying Truth</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    In the Kingdom of Luo Yuan, yet another batch of apostles ascended to godhood. s, not a single one of them obtained the misfortune godhood. Luo Yuan was already numb to this. The misfortune godhood seemed to havepletely vanished. Although Luo Yuan did not know what was going on, with his intelligence, he was naturally able to deduce that this was due to something Chen Feng had done before dying.

    Luo Yuan shut his eyes. <i>Chen Feng... Hehe. I can¡¯t believe that even so many years after your death, you are still negatively influencing me. </i>So it turned out that this opponent, who he had never looked highly upon, had decided to bring him endless trouble and provocation after death. Luo Yuan thought back to the affairs of back then. Chen Feng hadn¡¯t even tried resisting him, instead directlymitting suicide. Was that even possible?

    That seemed unlikely. If Luo Yuan hadn¡¯t confirmed Chen Feng¡¯s death so many times, he wouldn¡¯t believe that Chen Feng had killed himself just like that. What was the reason behind his suicide? With his characteristics, how could he evenmit suicide? There was only one reason for his suicide; it definitely had something to do with misfortune.

    Chen Feng had been aware that he was not Luo Yuan¡¯s match and had thus opted to use a unique method to prevent Luo Yuan from getting the misfortune godhood. For example, perhaps he damaged the misfortune godhood using an unknown method. With that, even though the misfortune godhood was vacant, Luo Yuan would still fail to obtain it.

    Perhaps that was the truth behind Chen Feng¡¯s suicide. Since the misfortune godhood had been with him, it was quite likely that his suicide had been one of the necessary steps in his n to prevent the misfortune godhood¡¯s reappearance.

    ¡°Is that the truth?¡±

    Luo Yuan finally understood. He was, after all, an intelligent person. If that was the case, all his questions could now be considered answered.

    ¡°In short, I have been working hard for nothing for these 30 years?¡± Luo Yuan mocked himself. A fine Chen Feng. Indeed ruthless enough. Fortunately, 30 years wasn¡¯t much to him. Regardless of what Chen Feng had done, he had ultimately died. As for Luo Yuan, he had plenty of time.

    ¡°Since the misfortune godhood can no longer appear, I will have to think of an alternative.¡±

    Luo Yuan sank deep into contemtion. If the misfortune godhood wouldn¡¯t appear, his best shot at bing a world controller wasprehending thews of world creation on an alien world.

    Unfortunately, he could no longer hope to touch the world of Godly Model Creator. As for the world of The Crystal Pce, his clone¡¯s fate was still unknown. As such, that was not an alternative either. Would he have to find a brand new world? Luo Yuan gazed at the radiance shrouding his hand. With the huge number of abilities he had, it was quite a simple affair to reset an ability. However, if he did that while his clone was in the alien world, he could very well be the one to doom his clone to damnation. After all, his clone might be in a huge battle at the moment, with victory imminent.

    ¡°I will wait a bit longer.¡±

    Luo Yuan decided to wait one more week. If there was still no news by then, he would have no choice but to erase his clone and the entire world of The Crystal Pce. However, on the third day, some people betrayed him with no warning whatsoever and established a new kingdom.

    Luo Yuan was unable to make sense of it. Betrayal? Betraying him? Those people were his believers, right? And there were also those gods. What were they thinking about? Using his wristband, Luo Yuan tried to see the contents of their thoughts. Astonishingly, he found that the connection with the wristbands they were wearing had been severed.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    Luo Yuan¡¯s vignce rose. Even though there was no longer anyone that was his match in this world, he still had to maintain a certain level of vignce. What surprised him most was the question of why these people had betrayed him, since nobody in this world was capable of contending against him. What was the reason? Had those people encountered an even stronger existence? This was indeed thought provoking.

    ¡°Send someone over,¡± Luo Yuan decided. Soon, he found a certain expert near the newly established kingdom and sent him over to defect to the traitors. As for Luo Yuan himself, he monitored everything through that person¡¯s wristband. Everything progressed smoothly. That expert did not take long to arrive in the new kingdom. Finally, Luo Yuan was able to get a good look at the kingdom¡¯s so-called pce, which looked huge and imposing. However, a single nce was all one needed to see that it was freshly built.

    ¡°Who are you looking for?¡±

    ¡°I am here to seek shelter from the lord.¡±

    ¡°Ah,e with me then.¡± A person led him forward. Through the wristband, Luo Yuan observed everything clearly. He found that everything here was brand new and freshly built. Who was it that had the ability to build such a huge pce in the span of two days?

    Shua!

    Along the way, familiar believers could be seen walking everywhere. However, on their wrists was some odd mud. The unique aura of the mud was what was blocking the wristband¡¯s connection. This thing... Luo Yuan frowned, as he found this thing familiar. However, Luo Yuan decided to not spare this much thought, as at this moment, that expert had finally entered the pce. The figure in the pce was about to reveal themself.

    However, the very instant that expert entered the pce, several figures shed past the screen and the connection was severed. At that instant, someone had stepped forth and wiped something on the wristband. Immediately, the connection had been severed. This was within Luo Yuan¡¯s expectation. However, what shocked him was the figures he had seen before the connection was terminated.

    ¡°Those figures...¡± Luo Yuan shut his eyes. Even though it had only been a single instant, he had still gotten an iparably familiar feeling from that figure... Mhm. Right, there was also that mud they were using to sever his connection. During the final moments, Luo Yuan had finally gotten a clear look at what it was. That was the mud of an alien world. It was no wonder that the mud could sever his connection. Only something not native to this world could block his connection.

    This mud had been brought over from an alien world. Luo Yuan¡¯s gaze burned. Who was it? He had seen several figures earlier. At this moment, his formidable brain began spinning, and shortly after, he was able to figure out who some of those figures were. Naturally, the identities of the other figures were still being deduced. However, several secondster, Luo Yuan knew the truth. That was because, standing in the middle of all the figures... That specific figure that gave him an iparably familiar feeling...

    Shua! Shua!

    Luo Yuan utilized his formidable power and operated a huge number of deduction abilities to fix that single scene in time. Finally, the appearance of that figure became clear.

    However, the instant that figure¡¯s face became clear, Luo Yuan trembled all over as his eyes went wide with disbelief. How? How was this possible? He stood up abruptly. He had thought of countless possibilities, yet he had never imagined that this particr person would be the one who had betrayed him.

    The Crystal Pce...

    Alien world...

    Hahahaha!

    After a momentary silence, Luo Yuan suddenly erupted inughter. True. If this was what had happened, then everything could be answered. Why had his clone vanished? Why had all connections been severed with that clone? And why had those people suddenly betrayed him? So it turned out that his ultimate enemy was actually himself!

    That¡¯s right. That familiar figure he had seen was in fact himself. If his guess was correct, this person was his clone, the clone sent to the alien world. When Luo Yuan¡¯s gaze fell on the muddy protrusions on that figure¡¯s body, he understood everything. These things were stuck to his body to prevent a connection from being established between the main body and the clone. In other words, his enemy this time was himself!

 Chapter 845 - Betrayal and Abandonment

    <h4>Chapter 845: Betrayal and Abandonment</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    ¡°Hehe.¡±

    Luo Yuan clenched his fists tightly. He understood now. This clone, which had always been synced with him, had identally encountered this mud on the alien world and had discovered that it was capable of blocking their connection. No, if that were all, it would not have escaped Luo Yuan¡¯s notice. The clone had to have noticed that their connection had been severed for some reason after entering the alien world. Subsequently, he had begun to have thoughts of disloyalty.

    In the past, regardless of whether it was the present world or an alien world, his clone would be always synced to him. As such, there had been no differences between the two. Now that their connection had been severed, a crack had appeared and the clone had decided to not return to Luo Yuan. After all, the clone was essentially himself, a person with wit and ambition.

    If so, what was the clone¡¯s goal? Suddenly, Luo Yuan¡¯s vignce rose. The clone¡¯s goal should be the same as his own, obtaining control over the world, and his source of motivation should be the flower-like youngdy as well.

    Suddenly, Luo Yuan raged. ¡°You are courting death.¡±

    Not only had was clone being disloyal, he even dared to think ofying his hands on her. Luo Yuan was certain of the clone¡¯s motives. After all, the clone was as intelligent as him and shared the same memories as him. As such, they would have the same dream and ambition. This clone was simply another Luo Yuan.

    Hehehe.

    Luo Yuanughed. His aura rose without stop, causing everyone in his kingdom to tremble.

    <i>Clone... you are courting death.</i>

    Luo Yuan stood up. He had decided to make a move personally to take control of this traitor. Initially, he had nned to directly destroy this clone. However, this was quite a unique urrence, and thus, he had to figure out the reason behind it. Otherwise, what would he do if his next clone betrayed him as well?

    This should not have happened. His cloning method was different than the regrly used methods, thoseparatively trashy abilities that could create numerous clones with a shout or something. In fact. His clone was a truly independent and powerful body. It was simply a different Luo Yuan who possessed all his abilities. The clone had his consciousness, and when he and the clone acted, it was equivalent to two Luo Yuans moving together.

    This was also why he had dispatched a clone to fight Ye back during the godhood trial. After all, this clone was sufficient to do a lot of things on his behalf. Moreover, Luo Yuan was also capable of switching his clone body and his real body as he wished. They would forever be synced with each other. This was the strongest aspect of the cloning ability he had used.

    But now, everything had been severed. During the battle with Su Hao, he had lost his clone and even his main body had received a grave injury. Therefore, he had exhausted his power to create a brand new clone while also maintaining the highest level of vignce while dealing with the new alien world he had created.

    Unexpectedly, the final result was the betrayal of his clone. Alien world... The Crystal Pce... What exactly was in that world? Luo Yuan had to figure that out. It was impossible for him to go there personally. The alien worlds were too scary and dangerous. After the two mishaps he had encountered on alien worlds, he would not deliver himself to his death on an alien world. As such, the best solution was to regain control over his clone.

    Luo Yuan sneered. ¡°So you think that some mud can block me?¡±

    This clone was still too naive after all.

    Shua!

    Light swirled before Luo Yuan.

    Bang!

    Luo Yuan stepped forth into empty air and directly appeared above that brand new kingdom. As for the sort of resistance this kingdom might pose, Luo Yuan did not care. This was how domineering he was.

    ¡°Come!¡±

    Bang!

    A bright radiance descended. Above this brand new country, Luo Yuan¡¯s huge figure appeared. He immediately locked his attention on the pce, on the unique clone right in the middle of the pce. That person, despite his covered face, still possessed a figure that was exactly the same as his own.

    Luo Yuan pointed forward. ¡°Sync!¡±

    Shua!

    Numerous beams of light surged forth. Instantly, a thread was created, linking the both of them.

    ¡°Return,¡± Luo Yuan muttered.

    Bang!

    A bright radiance spread. Luo Yuan sneered. The connection between them took priority over everything else. With such a short distance, nothing could block their connection.

    ...

    Suddenly, Luo Yuan¡¯s eyes went wide. What? Before him, that bright radiance faded after turning into various light particles. That distant figure appeared fine, and Luo Yuan himself was still not getting any information or feedback whatsoever from this clone. Moreover, he could even see a sneer at the corner of that clone¡¯s mouth.

    For the first time, that person opened his mouth. ¡°Did you truly think I had no way of dealing with you?¡±

    This voice... This was the voice of Luo Yuan.

    That person proceeded to say something extremely astonishing: ¡°Know this. What you know, I know as well. What I know, though... might not necessarily be what you know!¡±

    Shua!

    The clone waved his hand. Instantly, the space surrounding Luo Yuan copsed. After all, he had only forcefully sent his projection here from his kingdom. As such, the amount of power avable to him wasn¡¯t much. As such, facing such resistance, his projection immediately copsed.

    ¡°I will return for you!¡± Luo Yuan said with a cold gaze.

    The clone merelyughed coldly. ¡°Hehe.¡±

    Shua!

    With a sh of light, everything returned to normal.

    Bang!

    Luo Yuan was sted back to his own kingdom. A deafening sound spread as Luo Yuan nearly destroyed his own pce in his fury. Luo Yuan raged. Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! That damnable clone! How long had it been since Luo Yuan hadst been so infuriated? It had been a very long time indeed. He had never expected a day toe where he suffered a loss due to his own clone¡¯s scheming. As for the words that clone had uttered, they caused Luo Yuan¡¯s heart to chill.

    ¡°Know this. What you know, I know as well. What I know, though... might not necessarily be what you know!¡±

    ...

    These words... Just thinking about them caused fear to rise in Luo Yuan¡¯s heart. True, what the clone had experienced on the alien world was stillpletely unknown to Luo Yuan. What exactly had happened there? That clone was also certain that the real Luo Yuan would never dare personally step foot on that world. To be precise, that clone wasn¡¯t at all afraid that Luo Yuan would enter that world in the flesh. Why was that? Because that alien world was stronger? Or perhaps the clone had been subdued by the people of that world?

    Luo Yuan did not know. And the unknown was the scariest. Luo Yuan had remained undefeated for way too long. This matter with the alien world was causing him to be somewhat crazed. He was now sure of one thing: that alien world, that so-called ability capable of creating an alien world based on a book... was in fact a Pandora¡¯s Box that should never have been opened! This applied to both Godly Model Creator and The Crystal Pce. If Luo Yuan were given a second chance, he would absolutely not touch them. Why had he even decided to copy that ability in the first ce? Regardless, right now he had to focus on regaining control over this clone that had gone rogue.

    Hopefully, the clone hadn¡¯t leaked too much of his secrets.

    Hum¡ª

    Luo Yuan stood up. A faint shiny silhouette took form before him. Despite the fact that Luo Yuan¡¯s cloning ability was powerful, it had a weakness. Only a single clone could remain active at a time. Under normal circumstances, when Luo Yuan formed a new clone, the previous clone would automatically dissipate into nothingness. As such, Luo Yuan was very curious about what would happen when a new one was formed.

    Bang! Bang!

    From within Luo Yuan¡¯s body, countless abilities were drawn out. His godly power dropped rapidly as the abilities converged before him to form a faintly shining silhouette, bing a brand new Luo Yuan. This was precisely his new clone. At present, in the distant world of The Crystal Pce, Luo Yuan¡¯s clone was in the midst of fearlessly throwing insults toward Ming Yue and the others from his cage. Suddenly, an acute pain arose in his heart. The world before his eyes grew dark as his consciousness faded.

    This feeling... He felt fear as he realized something. He had actually been abandoned by his real self? Chen Feng had actually seeded? How many days had it been?

 Chapter 846 - Trampling on the New Kingdom

    <h4>Chapter 846: Trampling on the New Kingdom</h4>

    In the Kingdom of Luo Yuan, he had someone monitoring that clone of his at all times. s, he discovered that the clone did not die. Even after forming a new clone, the old clone was still not dead. That damnable clone was still staying in the so-called new kingdom.

    Luo Yuan¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. ¡°Is it because of the mud?¡± So it turned out that this thing from the alien world was capable of truly severing their connection. Since that was the case, the only option left was a battle.

    ¡°Prepare for a war,¡± Luo Yuan said coldly. He was aware of how strong he was, just as he was aware of how terrifying he could be in the future. As such, he would not give this clone of his a chance to grow. He had to immediately kill the clone. He could not afford to let his clone stay alive for too long.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Luo Yuan walked out of his pce. The entire Kingdom of Luo Yuan began operating as per his wishes. All the gods gathered together and followed behind Luo Yuan as they headed forward to conquer the so-called new country. An all-out war was about to erupt. Once again, this, which had enjoyed many years of peace, was shrouded in the fogs of war. Naturally, the half of the world not under Luo Yuan¡¯s control watched on with excitement.

    ¡°Have you heard? There is an internal conflict in Luo Yuan¡¯s country.¡±

    ¡°Is that for real?¡±

    Some did not believe this. This kingdom was centered around Luo Yuan, after all. Who would dare mess around?

    ¡°Heh, you must not know of this yet. I heard that the rebel has already established his very own kingdom. Moreover, he possesses terrifying and unrivaled strength.¡±

    ¡°Stronger than Luo Yuan?¡±

    ¡°No idea. However, it is said that the rebel resembles Luo Yuan greatly.¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s a great resemnce in their voice and appearance.¡±

    ¡°Hiss¡ª¡±

    ¡°Could it be...¡±

    ¡°Who knows? In any case, a great show is about to unfold,¡± that person narrated sneakily.

    As for the others, everyone was filled with joy. It seemed like this war was a result of Luo Yuan¡¯s mistake. Tsk tsk...

    However, that was understandable. In this world, Luo Yuan was unrivaled. If there was an enemy, that enemy could only be himself.

    ¡°I wonder how it feels to fight oneself?¡± someone asked while sneering.

    Someoneughed wildly. ¡°Well, only our exalted Lord Luo Yuan will know this feeling. Hahahaha.¡±

    They were looking forward to this war. Perhaps, Luo Yuan would perish together with his other self? That would be the perfect ending. This was what many people were thinking.

    ...

    At this time, within the new kingdom, the Lord Clone was calcting his currentbat power. Countless underlings of him were trembling in fear. The reason? They had simply blindly followed ¡°Lord Luo Yuan¡± out to establish a new kingdom as he wished. They believed that this was just a new project of Lord Luo Yuan¡¯s. Unexpectedly, they had followed a bogus Lord Luo Yuan.

    On that day, when Luo Yuan himself descended here, they had nearly copsed from despair. So it turned out that they had followed a faker? And yet something scarier had happened. This lord here had actually sted Lord Luo Yuan back whence he¡¯de. What did that signify? That signified that this lord here wasn¡¯t any weaker than Luo Yuan was.

    Moreover, his appearance and voice... Everything was exactly the same as the other Luo Yuan. Confusion had started to arise about who the real Luo Yuan was. This confusion hadsted until rumors about the clone started spreading. Only then did they discover that this Lord Luo Yuan here was actually a clone. However, this was a terrifying clone that wasn¡¯t any weaker than the real body. Moreover, what they cared most about was the fact that this new lord here had not subjected them to any sort of monitoring. Rather, he had granted them the freedom to do what they wanted.

    That unique mud was capable of blocking the signals from the wristbands they wore. From that day onward, they had been free of the monitoring. They had be truly free.

    ¡°You guys can do what you want. Those willing to fight by my side, stay. Those unwilling, leave as soon as possible. In any case, if you guys hide in the various corners of the world, Luo Yuan will be toozy to search you out one by one. Do take care if you select this option.¡±

    These were the words of their new master. They who had been used to being unfeeling and obeying without question had actually been somewhat moved by these words.

    However, their feelings being moved was an entirely different matter. Despite that, they were still likely to flee at any time. That¡¯s right, this Lord Clone had been molded by the original Luo Yuan, possessing even the same memories. As such, even if he emerged victorious from this war, he might eventually make the same choices as the original Luo Yuan.

    This was a battle between two Luo Yuans. If possible, they would not stay behind. And thus, news of something was spread. This clone was busy helping people flee and wasn¡¯t the least bothered with whether these people stayed behind to help him or not. This resulted in more and more people fleeing here from the Kingdom of Luo Yuan.

    The clone easily liberated these refugees from Luo Yuan. After being moved by his actions, these refugees decided to leave quietly as well. And just like before, only the clone alone was left here. In the entirety of this new kingdom, there was only the clone himself.

    Everyone eximed in admiration. ¡°Why is he even doing this?¡±

    ¡°Why else? To weaken Luo Yuan?¡±

    ¡°Tsk tsk. Luo Yuan weakening Luo Yuan?¡±

    ¡°I suppose he has no choice. After all, nobody understands the real Luo Yuan better than him.¡±

    ¡°I will never cultivate cloning abilities in the future.¡±

    ¡°Same.¡±

    ¡°This is truly way too scary.¡±

    As time passed, more and more people headed toward the clone to seek their freedom. The original Luo Yuan was naturally aware of this. However, he could not do much about it. His injuries were rather grave. After losing two clones in session and forcefully forming a third, the power he had left wasn¡¯t much. As for the people that had defected to his clone, there were simply too many of them.

    There were so many of them that killing them all was somewhat impossible. As such, he could only watch nkly as they defected. Those damnable gods that had clearly been nurtured by him also headed to the clone to seek for freedom. They were truly seeking death!

    The number of people around Luo Yuan dropped without stop. Ultimately, by the time he finally reached the new kingdom, nearly 90% of his gods had defected. Those defectors had all been liberated by the clone.

    Luo Yuan walked into this new kingdom. Everything appeared brand new in this country, yet it did not carry the aura of any living beings. In this huge country, only the clone himself remained. ¡°What is the point of this?¡±

    ¡°Since you are also me, you should also know that it does not matter whether these gods live or die. The only one I care about is you. My only opponent is only you. After killing you, I can reinstate everything to how it was before,¡± Luo Yuan said emotionlessly. So long as this traitor was killed, he would still remain the almighty king.

    ¡°You are too idiotic. You are also too arrogant. Don¡¯t bother thinking of escaping. Since I am already here, the surroundings have naturally been sealed off. Don¡¯t bother thinking of killing me either. A new clone has already been formed. This time, I will not allow him to step foot on any alien worlds. I will make him stay here and kill you. Perhaps you have grown in strength somewhat, resulting in the misconception that you can actually contend against me. However, ultimately, I am still your master.¡±

    Shua!

    With a sh, a shiny silhouette appeared beside Luo Yuan. This was precisely the clone Luo Yuan had recently formed. Moreover, the aura emanating from this clone wasn¡¯t any weaker than Luo Yuan¡¯s.

    ¡°Let¡¯s end this. I shall retrieve you. Let me see clearly what kind of ideas have formed in that brain of yours.¡±

    Bang!

    Luo Yuan stepped out. He wanted to retrieve this defective clone. s, when he grabbed forth, a nk piece of nothingness weed his hand. That defector had transformed into countless particles and dissipated into the air. The defector that Luo Yuan had been talking to, the one seated atop the throne, had in fact been a corpse formed of purely energy particles. That was why, when Luo Yuan had grabbed forth, he hadn¡¯t been able to feel anything. So this clone had already been dead? Luo Yuan was stunned. What was going on now? He was truly at a loss now.

 Chapter 847 - Sink

    <h4>Chapter 847: Sink</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    Afterpleting his n, Chen Feng had returned to the world of The Crystal Pce.

    Chen Feng smiled. ¡°Luo Yuan should be rather stupefied, right?¡±

    For the past few days, he had been using the identity of ¡°Luo Yuan¡¯s clone¡± to establish a brand new kingdom. Then, before the moment of the decisive battle, he had departed in secret. Luo Yuan was probably still stupefied even now.

    Chen Feng had never intended to fight Luo Yuan. In any case, he couldn¡¯t defeat Luo Yuan. So long as his n waspleted, it was fine for him to return. And now...

    Chen Feng looked at around. His gaze stopped on a cage, the cage containing Luo Yuan. At this moment, this clone, who had been never stopped throwing insults at Chen Feng, appeared dazed, merely staring ahead nkly in the cage. His eyes appeared empty and nk.

    ¡°How¡¯s the situation?¡± Chen Feng asked.

    ¡°He¡¯s been like this since yesterday,¡± Wang Chun said with a shrug.

    Chen Feng understood immediately. ¡°Oh, that¡¯s when he was abandoned by the real body.¡±

    When Luo Yuan heard this, he abruptly turned toward Chen Feng. ¡°What did you do?¡± He couldn¡¯t believe this. He and Luo Yuan were the same person, and yet Chen Feng had been able to put a division between them? Chen Feng had been able to so easily make the real body give up on him?

    ¡°Mhm...¡± Chen Feng gave it some thought before exining. ¡°I pretended to be you and established a brand new kingdom.¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    The clone¡¯s expression changed greatly. A new... kingdom?

    ¡°No! How is that possible?¡± The clone suddenly raged. ¡°It¡¯s impossible for you to pretend to be me. Even if you can assume my appearance and voice, the unique connection between me and him is something you can never feign.¡±

    ¡°Why would I need that connection?¡± Chen Feng was wearing a smile that was not at all smile-like. ¡°In any case, the connection between you two has been severed, right?¡±

    ¡°No synchronization...¡± The clone nked shortly before finally understanding everything. He was extremely intelligent person as well. With a single hint from Chen Feng, he was able to reach a terrifying conclusion. If this was indeed the truth... He slumped down weakly. It was no wonder that his real body had suddenly abandoned him.

    If he were in the same position, if he¡¯d been betrayed by his clone, what would he do? He wouldn¡¯t just stop at that. He would create a new clone, reinforce his control over the clone. He was certain that, for the new clone, so long as the connection was severed for a fixed amount of time, the new clone would self-destruct. Luo Yuan was not someone who would permit betrayal.

    Naturally, Luo Yuan didn¡¯t know that The Crystal Pce was a weak world. This world was so weak that they couldn¡¯t even kill a captured clone.

    Chen Feng had made use of Luo Yuan¡¯sck of understanding of The Crystal Pce. He had been especially assured after hearing from this clone what Luo Yuan had experienced in the world of Godly Model Creator. He was sure that Luo Yuan would not dare toe here. This was his biggest advantage against Luo Yuan.

    ¡°Yet you still failed to kill me for real, right?¡± The clone merely looked at Chen Feng coldly. The situation now was somewhat different from the n. One could say that he could understand what Chen Feng had done up to now; Chen Feng had needed to ensure that the main body would give up on the clone. Had Chen Feng¡¯s goal not been to make the real body abandon the clone, resulting in the clone¡¯s death so he could break through into the true god stage?

    Why, then? Why had Chen Feng not transmitted the real body¡¯s thought to this world so as toplete the destruction? The clone was unable to make sense of this. After all, he had been prepared to transmit all his information to the real body the moment a connection was established with the real world. With that, even if he¡¯d had to die, he would have had no regrets.

    Unfortunately, no such opportunity hade. Chen Feng had not bothered to try to establish a link between the two worlds. Nor had he allowed this clone to diepletely.

    ¡°What are you nning to do?¡± the clone howled.

    ¡°You are Luo Yuan.¡± Chen Feng smiled. ¡°Although you are just a clone, one somewhat weaker than the real body, you are still Luo Yuan. With Luo Yuan¡¯s intelligence, how could you not have made any preparations to strike back at me? I believe that, during the moment of your destruction, you will be able to transmit everything that has happened here to him, right?¡± Chen Feng had a faint smile on his face.

    The clone¡¯s eyes went wide. How had he figured this out?

    ¡°I do not know what your n is,¡± Chen Feng continued calmly. ¡°However, I will not take such a risk.¡±

    The clone sneered. ¡°Therefore, you still can¡¯t kill me.¡± This trip of Chen Feng¡¯s had been for the sake of killing him. Since he was still alive, hadn¡¯t Chen Feng done all that work for nothing?

    ¡°No.¡± Chen Feng had a grin on his face. ¡°You are Luo Yuan! Are you truly willing to forever stay a mere clone? Are you willing to be imprisoned here forever? Hehe. If it was in the past, this would not matter. But now that you have been abandoned and a new clone has reced you, even if you re-appear, you will be useless and will still be killed by him. Therefore... are you interested in working for me?¡± Chen Feng asked emotionlessly.

    The clone nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood in his anger when he heard this. What in the world was this? Coaxing him to work for Chen Feng? He looked at Chen Feng with the same gaze he¡¯d used when looking at that idiot from the neighboring vige when he was young.

    How was this possible? He was a clone of Luo Yuan. Even though he wasn¡¯t a proper clone now, he still shared the same memories and intelligence as the real body. Submit to Chen Feng? No way!

    ¡°Are you sure?¡± The grin was still on Chen Feng¡¯s face. ¡°You and Luo Yuan are now two different individuals. You two are no longer capable of syncing with each other. At most, you will only be able to transmit one-way information to him. Even that will depend on whether he is willing to ept your information in the first ce.¡±

    The clone sneered. ¡°So what?¡±

    ¡°You still don¡¯t understand,¡± Chen Feng said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ve already heard your story. I even investigated it somewhat. Moreover, I have also withdrawn all the data from the gene bank toplete a rather amazing undertaking.¡±

    The clone sneered. ¡°Hehe. What does that have to do with me?¡± He knew that this scammer Chen Feng was trying to scam him once again. He understood Chen Feng way too well. Therefore, he would not be coaxed by Chen Feng. Right at this instant, Chen Feng waved his hand in a certain direction.

    ¡°Come.¡±

    And from there, ass walked over. She took graceful steps forward. That familiar appearance of hers was so very intoxicating. With a single nce, a deafening boom resounded in Luo Yuan¡¯s head, and his heart started pounding madly. This was... that flower-like youngdy!

    Luo Yuan stood up abruptly. ¡°You... how is this possible...¡±

    <i>No, this is fake! This is fake!</i>

    The clone was certain.

    ¡°Is he the one you mentioned? The lover from my previous life?¡±

    The youngss curled her lips. Her eyes, which seemed capable of speaking, brimmed with satisfaction. ¡°Why does he look so stupid?¡±

    That smile and that face caused Luo Yuan to sink into a state of infatuation. Both seemedpletely the same as the woman he remembered.

    ¡°Think carefully,¡± Chen Feng suddenly muttered by his ear. ¡°You arepletely independent of the original Luo Yuan now. You are two different individuals now. If time is indeed reversed, will the flower-like youngss be yours or his? In the past, you were essentially one. As such, you never cared. What about now? He enjoys the joys of victory while you can only watch on helplessly as your loved one lies in his embrace? This youngss... is one you will think of even in your dreams...¡±

    Bang!

    The clone¡¯s heart pounded as he heard these words. True, even if the n seeded, what would it have to do with him? He knew that these devil-like whisperings of Chen Feng¡¯s were meant to tempt him, yet he couldn¡¯t help but fall for this temptation.

 Chapter 848 - His Very Own Love Story

    <h4>Chapter 848: His Very Own Love Story</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    ¡°What is your name?¡±

    ¡°Lian Er.¡±

    ¡°How... did you arrive here?¡± Luo Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.

    ¡°Naturally, it¡¯s because of the life granted to me by Lord Ming Yue. She said that I have unfinished business from my past life and thus my soul was unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation. As such, she made an exception and allowed me to be reborn here,¡± she stated seriously. ¡°Mhm... She also said that you are very powerful now and want to bring me back. But... I never expected you to look this stupid.¡± Sheughed stealthily.

    ¡°Oh. Oh.¡± Luo Yuan merely stared at her nkly with a stupid expression on his face. He was aware that in this world, life was something that was granted. However, he had never expected Chen Feng to use such a method to deliver this youngdy to him.

    ¡°Do you still have your previous life¡¯s memories?¡± Luo Yuan asked.

    ¡°A bit.¡± The youngdy curled her lips. ¡°About the Gic Union or something. I still have a portion of the memories in my head. Unexpectedly, you were also quite stupid in my past life.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Luo Yuan understood clearly. Chen Feng had inferred the matters from back then, then simted those memories. That was why this youngdy only had some of those memories. At the very least, she should have quite a number of memories pertaining to her and Luo Yuan. However, she was ultimately not the woman from his youth.

    Suddenly, the youngdy stood up. ¡°Hmph. I am not her. Although I have those memories, as far as I am concerned, those seem more like memories nted in me. I have a clear recollection of them, yet I do not feel deeply about them. This is not what I want. I do not need anyone to grant me any memories. I am me. I am Lian. Even if I have to be together with you, I will only do it if I truly like you, rather than depending on some granted memories. Hmph. Even if I have to like you, I would much prefer to like the present you rather than some memories of the past.¡±

    The youngdy was brimming with brightness and youthfulness. She seemed somewhat different from that flower-like youngdy. As for her words, they hit straight at Luo Yuan¡¯s heart. Yes, if even this youngdy could understand this, why couldn¡¯t he understand it as well? It was precisely as she said.

    Would she rather like the present him or some memories of the past? These words pierced straight into Luo Yuan¡¯s soul, enlightening him immensely.

    <i>I am Luo Yuan! No, I am no longer the Luo Yuan of the past. Now, I am a new person. I was once a clone. Now, the connection has been severed and I am now a free-living being. I no longer need to be someone who only exists for the sake of someone else.</i>

    ¡°Hee hee.¡± Suddenly, the youngdy smiled brightly. ¡°Now, why don¡¯t you tell me something about yourself? Even if this is a marriage arranged by Lord Ming Yue, I still need to know you. Your hobbies and so on,¡± the youngdy said seriously as she waved her fingers around. This motion of hers touched the deepest part of Luo Yuan¡¯s heart for some indescribable reason. Her appearance... resembled the flower-like youngdy of the past so very greatly.

    ¡°Me?¡± Luo Yuan nkly said, ¡°I am Luo Yuan... No.¡± He looked toward Chen Feng and suddenly added, ¡°I am Chen Yuan! Mhm... Chen Yuan, the Yuan in my name means vigor. I traversed the entire world toe here, all in search of you!¡±

    ¡°Wow!¡± the youngdy cheered. ¡°Is that for real? Then you are surely very awesome.¡±

    ¡°Mhm.¡±

    It seemed like this Chen Yuan had finally epted his new identity. He was clear that the flower-like youngdy in his memories belonged to Luo Yuan, not him. However, this youngdy before him, who shared the same appearance and disposition as her, was someone that did not approve of past memories. Simr to him, she was also, in a way, a replica, a replica of that youngdy.

    Despite that, she had her own memories. Together, they could create memories that were truly theirs. As for this youngdy, she would only belong to him. As for the memories... Chen Yuan stared into the distance. Even though it was just memories, he was clear that the youngdy from the memories could only belong to Luo Yuan. Deep within his heart, he wished that she could forever remain in the past.

    After all, she was someone he had once loved. This was the conclusion Chen Yuan reached. He¡¯d made up his mind. The past was, after all, the past. He did not approve of Luo Yuan¡¯s n of going back in time to drag her out again. After losing his connection with the real body, Chen Yuan seemed to finally start possessing his own thoughts and his own ambitions. He wanted that flower-like youngdy as well! However, what he wanted was her to stay a precious memory, something that remained in the past.

    As for this moving youngdy before him, he wanted her as well. She would be his future. This future would be exclusive to him and Lian Er!

    Suddenly, the youngdy looked at him doubtfully. ¡°So how did you end up in a cage?¡±

    Chen Yuan had thoroughly immersed himself in his new identity. He smiled and said, ¡°Because I am too powerful. This is the Nether Realm, the ce where the process of reincarnation takes ce. Meing here for you vited thews. Mhm... Therefore, I have to seal up my own strength.¡±

    ¡°Wow!¡± the youngdy eximed in admiration. How romantic! He had traversed through a different world just for her?

    ¡°Why is your name Chen Yuan, then?¡± The youngdy pondered before continuing, ¡°I recall this not being your name in the past.¡±

    ¡°Because I want to sever my connection with the past,¡± Chen Yuan said with a smile. ¡°Just like you said, the past is nothing but memories. I remember them, and you might only remember some of them, but what does this matter? The moment I set eyes on you, I decided that I like the present you. Therefore, I am now Chen Yuan. Our past story is a tragedy. Let that tragedy be gone with the wind. I am not the youth in that story; I am the powerful Chen Yuan. Together with you, I am willing to create a new future,¡± Chen Yuan said confidently. As he looked straight at this youngdy while uttering these words, he felt refreshed. So it turned out that uttering these words with his very own identity felt like this? It was truly... quite a different feeling.

    The youngdy stretched her hand out. ¡°Fine. I shall try dating you for a bit then.¡±

    Chen Yuan took her hand, his heart pounding. ¡°Thank you.¡±

    ...

    ¡°As per thews of the Nether Realm, to take her, a contract of life and death must be signed so as to confirm that you will share life and death with her.¡± Ming Yue looked at Chen Yuan. ¡°Are you sure about this?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Chen Yuan knew that this arrangement had to be the work of Chen Feng. However, so what?

    ¡°Very good.¡± Ming Yue nodded and personally helped them sign the contract. From today onward, Chen Yuan was officially bound together with this youngdy, sharing life and death.

    ...

    And thus, the two started dating. One day, one month, and one yearter, the two grew closer to each other. Many locations within the world of The Crystal Pce hade to contain sweet memories for the two of them. Traces of love were left everywhere. Chen Yuan had truly be a part of the world of The Crystal Pce.

    ¡°In the future, I will take you to see an even bigger world.¡±

    ¡°Wow, for real?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡±

    ¡°How big is that world?¡±

    ¡°Much bigger than this world. So big that even in a lifetime, one can¡¯t fully traverse the whole world.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, sure.¡±

    ¡°I still have something to do, though. Wait for me.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡°I will take you as my wife when I return.¡±

    ¡°All right.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 849: That Damnable Friend!</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    Chen Feng did not get involved in the affairs of Chen Yuan and Lian Er. He merely watched on silently. He had been waiting for so long. It did not matter if he had to wait even longer. And thus, Chen Feng waited until Chen Yuan took the initiative to seek him out.

    ¡°So you¡¯re done preparing?¡± Chen Feng asked with a faint smile.

    Chen Yuan nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± He had known for a long time that, since Chen Feng had tried to subdue him, there had to be something he needed to do. As such, he had been spending all his time with the youngdy recently.

    ¡°We will seed,¡± Chen Feng said with a calm smile. The contract of life and death alone was insufficient to guarantee that everything would be fine. They first had to ensure that the feelings between Chen Yuan and Lian Er had developed enough before setting Chen Yuan free. As such, a year had passed in such a fashion. Chen Feng believed that Chen Yuan was also aware of this.

    Chen Feng smiled calmly as he asked, ¡°You don¡¯t have an issue with me?¡±

    Chen Yuan was very calm. ¡°Although you have restricted me with the life and death contract and some other methods, I don¡¯t have any have an issue with this. After all, I witnessed half of your life through the wristband. So long as I don¡¯t betray your cause, you will not harm me. This alone is sufficient for me.¡±

    Chen Feng chuckled as he heard these words. It was quite unexpected that his prestige was useful even against a viin.

    ¡°What exactly are you nning to do?¡± Chen Yuan was curious. If Chen Feng could breakthrough into the true-god stage, he wouldn¡¯t need Chen Yuan anymore, right? After all, he only needed to hide from Luo Yuan. Perhaps he was intending to have Chen Yuan protect him while he broke through?

    ¡°Bing a true god is only the first step of my n.¡± Chen Feng¡¯s gaze became resolute. ¡°Without you, Luo Yuan will never find out what happened here. The only thing he will know is that somewhere, someone is bing a true god. That¡¯s all.

    ¡°However, with Luo Yuan¡¯s character, he will most certainly set forth to investigate. Therefore, The Crystal Pce must return to the alien world as soon as possible so as to not allow Luo Yuan to discover this world. Otherwise, things will get dangerous,¡± Chen Feng said.

    Chen Yuan agreed with this. Now that he had family here, he had to take note of the safety of this ce as well. The n was made clear to him. The first step was to connect this world with the outside world. Chen Feng would then begin to break through. The second step was to sever the connection between this world and the outside world before Luo Yuan could arrive. He would most certainly set forth after sensing that someone was breaking through. And the third step was to reach outer space.

    ¡°Outer space?¡± Suddenly, Chen Yuan understood something. There in outer space, someone was waiting for Chen Feng. Wang Yao! Wang Yao was part of the crucial step of Luo Yuan¡¯s n to rewind time.

    Chen Yuan shook his head. ¡°A huge trap has been set there by Luo Yuan.¡±

    If Chen Feng could think of something, Luo Yuan had long considered it. As such, a trap had been set there. If Chen Feng dared to go to outer space, it would be no different than suicide. The type of trap that Luo Yuan had set there was something that might even kill Luo Yuan himself. He would not allow anyone to undo the trap, not even Wang Yao.

    In Luo Yuan¡¯s n, only after he had gained full control over the world would he have the strength to undo this trap. Before that, even Luo Yuan himself would not be able to undo the trap. Therefore, this was a trap that would show no mercy even to the trapper. As for Chen Feng, he definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to make it. Even after breaking through into the true-god stage, he still wouldn¡¯t be able to do it.

    ¡°That is why I need you,¡± Chen Feng said with a bright gaze.

    <i>Me? </i>

    Suddenly, Chen Yuan realized something. So this was the actual reason Chen Feng had wanted him to switch sides.

    No matter what, that was a ce that had been built by Luo Yuan himself. Even that trap had been personally produced by him. Therefore, he was clear on every single trap there. He knew every single energy in use there as well. Moreover, there were even some traps that he could deactivate. This would greatly reduce the difficulty of breaking into that ce.

    This was what Chen Feng wanted. Finally, Chen Yuan understood Chen Feng¡¯s reasoning. Perhaps, the moment Chen Yuan stepped foot into this world, Chen Feng had already been thinking of recruiting him. Killing him was just an excuse Chen Feng had used to threaten him.

    ¡°Worthy of being Chen Feng indeed.¡±

    He was somewhat filled with admiration. Now that they were no longer hostile to each other, his issues with Chen Feng had lessened. However, even with his help, that ce was stillden with danger.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. ¡°I understand.¡± He had been preparing for so long. Wasn¡¯t it precisely for this?

    Chen Feng clenched his fists tightly. <i>Wang Yao... here Ie! </i>Instantly, he stood up and stepped into the void. His next step was to be a true god.

    ...

    At this time, in the Kingdom of Luo Yuan, the internal disorder had long been dealt with. The so-called new kingdom was but a joke. It had appeared grand yet hadn¡¯t been able to withstand even a single blow. Despite this, Luo Yuan still felt uneasy. Why? Because he couldn¡¯t understand it. His clone was dead? Why? How? And what had happened on that alien world?

    He had way too many questions. He kept feeling like he had overlooked something. Moreover, he felt like it was something extremely important. Due to him neglecting this something, he had fallen behind at every step. He felt like he was in an extremely passive situation now. This gave him an extremely ufortable feeling.

    ¡°What have I missed?¡±

    Luo Yuan thought about it for a long time. s, even after a year of pondering, he was still lost. He did not know why he had lost his powerful deduction and inference ability. He did not know why his omnipotent Luck Aura had failed to see anything.

    Why? He did not know. He clearly had no opponents anymore. However... what was up with that mysterious person? And what happened to his clone? Luo Yuan was getting twitchy. Ye had died. Chen Feng had died as well. And yet he was stuck on such trifling affairs. He raised his head. Beneath this sky, he was the strongest. However, something was still provoking him.

    Luo Yuan tried using Luck Aura. ¡°Luck Aura! Tell me, where is the source of this?¡±

    Shua!

    Nothingness. That¡¯s right. Luck Aura couldn¡¯t see anything.

    ¡°So... the source is still from an alien world?¡±

    Luo Yuan sighed. He had already tried investigating this numerous times, yet he had never gained anything. Therefore, the only answer was that his clone was the source of his difort. Why, though? Luo Yuan still couldn¡¯t understand. Naturally, the main source was definitely that damnable Wang Chun. So long as he killed Wang Chun, the alien world would disappear.

    ¡°Where is Wang Chun?¡± Luo Yuan asked. Nothingness was his answer.

    Luo Yuan clenched his fists tightly. ¡°So Wang Chun is also on the alien world?¡±

    Those damnable clowns. So the source of all this was Wang Chun? Luo Yuan calmed his twitchy heart and focused all his hatred on Wang Chun. After all, Wang Chun was the only logical answer to all this. At the very least, this was a more reliable answer than continuing to guess blindly. He couldn¡¯t believe that he had previously thought of something as ridiculous as Chen Feng¡¯s resurrection.

    He had even used his Luck Aura to confirm once again that Chen Feng was indeed dead. Therefore, he could only reach the conclusion that despite being dead, Chen Feng continued to disgust him. Naturally, he might have been led into this line of thought by Wang Chun¡¯s actions as well.

    Suddenly, Luo Yuan understood. ¡°True. That must be it. They are trying to make me think that Chen Feng is still alive to nt fear in me. They are not aware that I can confirm Chen Feng¡¯s death at any time. That is why they have done what they have done. They are trying to imitate the feeling Chen Feng usually gives off.¡±

    With this, all his questions could be answered. Mhm. That had to be it. All this was their work. With his intelligence, Luo Yuan easily saw through their scheme. As he thought back, these schemes indeed gave off the simr feeling to Chen Feng¡¯s schemes. Why? Well, because Wang Chun was trying to make him think that. No, hold on. Wang Chun was not capable of this. In Luo Yuan¡¯s memories, the only person capable of this was a certain person, the one most familiar with Chen Feng: Qin Hai!

    That damnable close friend of Chen Feng¡¯s!

 Chapter 850 - Long Time No See

    <h4>Chapter 850: Long Time No See</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    Yes, Qin Hai must be the one scheming in the dark.¡± From what Luo Yuan had observed of Chen Feng¡¯s life, he knew that the one closest to Chen Feng was Qin Hai. It reached a point where Qin Hai might even understand Chen Feng more than Wang Yao. If Qin Hai was the one pretending to be Chen Feng...

    Suddenly, Luo Yuan said, ¡°Luck Aura. Lock on to Qin Hai¡¯s coordinate.¡±

    Shua!

    Light swirled around. Soon, coordinates appeared. Surprisingly, this was the same ce Chen Feng had died back then. Qin Hai was actually there!

    Luo Yuan¡¯s eyes gleamed with a cold radiance.¡±It is him indeed!¡±

    Luo Yuan sneered. ¡°So... are you trying to avenge Chen Feng?¡±

    The twitchy feeling vanished. As the strongest existence, only the unknown could cause him to feel twitchy. Now that he had confirmed that Qin Hai was the schemer, things were suddenly not as scary anymore.

    Shua!

    The first thing he did was rush over to the coordinates. Unfortunately, that ce was now empty.

    ¡°Did he leave because he sensed my arrival?¡±

    Luo Yuan wasn¡¯t surprised. At present, the half of the world not under his control was the best at hiding from him. Since Qin Hai was nning to avenge Chen Feng, it was natural for him to be well versed in this.

    Luo Yuan sneered. ¡°Nothing but a clown.¡± He was sure that regardless of how Qin Hai schemed, Qin Hai would not dare to face Luo Yuan openly, since he was way too weak.

    ¡°I will just ignore him.¡±

    He sent his newest clone to continue to search for Qin Hai¡¯s trail while he resumed his focus on his own affairs. After all, controlling the world was the most important matter for him. Godhoods were still appearing without stop. Luo Yuan didn¡¯t even bother to look at these godhoods closely anymore. After all, the misfortune godhood would not be among them. His attention was focused on something else.

    ¡°The Crystal Pce... Since this is where the clone vanished, it is pointless to continue sending people there. I might as well destroy the world directly,¡± Luo Yuan muttered to himself. Although the alien world was scary, Wang Chun was not qualified to summon any truly terrifying existences into this world. This was something Luo Yuan was sure of. Even back when Wang Chun summoned Ming Yue, her strength had been pathetically weak.

    Therefore, even if Wang Chun truly did summon that world¡¯s true god out here, that true god¡¯s strength would be greatly limited by Wang Chun. Luo Yuan did not fear this.

    Bang!

    With his very own hands, he destroyed the only entrance leading to the world of The Crystal Pce, which he currently held in his hands. This was the entrance he had obtained after his own world of The Crystal Pce was destroyed. Now, he had personally destroyed this entrance.

    Hum¡ª

    Once again, Luo Yuan¡¯s alien world became vacant. That¡¯s right, Luo Yuan¡¯s book ability was once again reset. For Luo Yuan, who possessed countless abilities, resetting a single ability was a simple feat. If this were anyone else, abandoning their main ability and starting from scratch would be an extremely idiotic choice no matter how one looked at it.

    ¡°Let me select a new alien world.¡± Luo Yuan had a sharp gaze. ¡°That shall be the world I break through in. This time, I will learn from my past mistakes. I will...¡±

    A deafening boom resounded, and Luo Yuan¡¯s body trembled. This sound...

    Shua!

    His gaze abruptly shifted in a certain direction. There, in a distant destend, a familiar beam of light was descending. Even from so far away, Luo Yuan could see that world-piercing beam clearly. This was... the radiance of someone ascending! Moreover, this was an ascension into the true-god stage, not some normal stage!

    Bang!

    Luo Yuan shot upward. High above the air, he was able to get a clearer look. Indeed, this was the radiance of a true-god ascension!

    ...

    Within a certain cave, Qin Hai crawled out, looking extremely sorry. Crawling out together with him was Miss Xiao Yue.

    ¡°Must we do this?¡± Qin Hai asked with a bitter smile. Since Chen Feng¡¯s departure, Xiao Yue was the most important person here. In her paintings, which depicted Chen Feng¡¯s deaths, she herself had appeared as well. Throughout the years, Luo Yuan had used his Luck Aura to confirm Chen Feng¡¯s death several hundred times. As for Qin Hai, Kong Bai, Xu Fei, Wu Hui, and some others, they were the closest to Chen Feng and had also been targeted by Luo Yuan.

    Therefore, any time they received a warning from Miss Xiao Yue, they had no choice but to flee. Fortunately, after so many years, the half of the world that was hostile to Luo Yuan had also researched some concealment and escaping methods with respectable effectiveness. When used against Luo Yuan, they had proven effective. This was why they had been able to flee from Luo Yuan.

    ¡°This won¡¯t do.¡± Qin Hai spread his hands. ¡°Sooner orter, Luo Yuan will discover the truth. The only reason he hasn¡¯t realized the truth is because we are too weak to be worth his attention.¡± In Luo Yuan¡¯s heart, Chen Feng¡¯s friends were but jokes. After all, Chen Feng was already dead.

    Xiao Yue ignored Qin Hai. Instead, she lowered her head and continued painting in silence. Shortly after, a brand new painting appeared. In it was only one person. Boundless radiance was on the back of this person.

    Qin Hai nked. ¡°Huh?¡± What was this?

    Right at this instant, he saw a smile on Xiao Yue¡¯s face. Next, at a certain distant location, a resplendent radiance suddenly bloomed. This radiance greatly resembled the one in Xiao Yue¡¯s painting.

    ¡°That is...¡±

    Qin Hai was pleasantly surprised. Chen Feng had finally ascended! Qin Hai was not the only one shocked. When that beam of light appeared, the entire world was shocked.

    ¡°A divine aura has descended!¡±

    ¡°This is the sign of the appearance of a true god!¡±

    ¡°Haha, finally, another true god is going to appear?¡±

    ¡°But if I remember right, even the strongest among us is still a journeyman god... Who could this person be?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±

    The various gods were discussing this. This true-god beam had appeared too suddenly, so suddenly they werepletely clueless. As for those that were nearer to that beam of light, they noticed that, apart from that beam, apletely alien aura had descended as well. This alien aura wasparable to that of a true god!

    Bang! Bang!

    Terrifying booms resounded without stop. The boundless radiance shone brightly, as if two worlds were about tobine. Amid the boundless true-god radiance, a lone silhouette floated as he weed the radiance. Half of his body was out here in this world while the other half of his body was submerged in the boundless radiance, giving off an extremely odd appearance.

    Everyone eximed in admiration.

    ¡°How strong!¡±

    ¡°So this is the aura of a true god?¡±

    ¡°This strength... He is definitely no weaker than Ye...¡±

    Regardless of how near they were, they could only see a silhouette amid the radiance. That radiance was too terrifying, so terrifying that nobody could approach.

    Suddenly, a certain god asked, ¡°After this lord bes a true god, will he fight Luo Yuan?¡±

    Instantly, all the excited gods sank into silence. True. Even if a true god appeared, would this true god fight Luo Yuan? After all, this was Luo Yuan, someone who had been a true god since long ago. Would this new true god have the courage to fight him?

    ¡°Perhaps?¡±

    ...

    The various gods were anxious. Unknown to them, in the faraway Kingdom of Luo Yuan, Luo Yuan found this more unbelievable than all of them.

    ¡°How is this possible!¡± Luo Yuan howled. True god... Someone had actually broken through? Who? The Forest Goddess? In Luo Yuan¡¯s mind, she was the closest to the true-god stage. However, when his gaze swept around toward that familiar forest, he found that the Forest Goddess was stillzing around. It was not her. The only reason Luo Yuan had established his kingdom near the Forest Goddess¡¯s forest was to make monitoring her easier.

    Who could it be then? Qin Hai? No, not him. When he had been chasing after Qin Hai earlier, he had been able to sense a familiar power of irvoyance. Although he had failed to catch Qin Hai, he could easily confirm that Qin Hai was still as weak as ever. Qin Hai had merely been relying on that irvoyance to hide from Luo Yuan.

    If so, then who could it be? Luo Yuan waspletely clueless.

    Luo Yuan had a solemn gaze as he came to a decision. ¡°Looks like I have to pay that ce a visit.¡± He would not permit a brand new true god to appear. Although he was much stronger than a newfound true god, Luo Yuan would not permit someone else to grow to such an extent.

    Shua!

    With a sh, Luo Yuan headed toward the location of that beam. Luo Yuan was able to cross an entire country in a sh. However, when he arrived, the boundless radiance had already silently vanished. The only thing he could see was a dim silhouette. Moreover, any traces of the true-god ascension had vanished cleanly as well.

    Luo Yuan did not bother chasing after that retreating radiance. He merely watched on silently. Suddenly, heughed. Heughed wildly.

    ¡°Too perfect. So perfect... I can¡¯t find any loopholes. Breaking through and ascending, yet gone right before I arrived. Everything was calcted to perfection. And because of this, I have finally figured out who you are. In all these years of observing this world, I know that there is only one person capable of all this... Long time no see, Chen Feng!¡±

 Chapter 851 - Outer Space

    <h4>Chapter 851: Outer Space</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    In the boundless darkness that was outer space, several faint silhouettes appeared. This was precisely Chen Feng¡¯s group.

    Chen Yuan had a faint smile as he asked, ¡°Are you truly so cold blooded?¡±

    News of what Luo Yuan had done recently had spread everywhere.

    Chen Feng nced over. ¡°What is the point of being bothered by that?¡± In this final battle, if he emerged victorious, the entire world would be changed. Everything could be reversed. Whether those people died or not, it did not matter. And if he was the loser, everyone would die anyway. If so, did it matter whether they died sooner orter? Chen Feng was one who cared deeply about those close to him. However, he was also extremely calm.

    ¡°Luo Yuan will notice this very soon,¡± Chen Yuan said emotionlessly. He was the only one who knew how terrifying Luo Yuan could be when he was serious. The speed at which he processed his thoughts far surpassed ordinary people. A scheme like this was something he could easily see through. Since he was aware that Chen Feng was still alive, he would definitely be able to deduce Chen Feng¡¯s real goal soon enough.

    With a cold gaze, Chen Feng said, ¡°Therefore, we are relying on the time gap. Before he arrives, settle everything.¡±

    There in outer space, nothing could be seen. However, they were clear that a huge concealed region had been constructed here. This was Luo Yuan¡¯s territory, also where Wang Yao was imprisoned.

    ¡°Here ites!¡± Chen Yuan said.

    Hum¡ª

    He waved his hand. A faint radiance shed out. Next, some rays of light appeared, and everything became clearer and clearer. Ultimately, an immense space emerged before them.

    Bang!

    The ice-cold radiance shone brightly. Here in outer space was actually an immense pce.

    ¡°Ah.¡± Chen Feng looked around. ¡°Luo Yuan, you sure love your pces.¡±

    This was, in fact, a space station that had been constructed in the shape of a pce. As the founder of the Stormtech Company, Luo Yuan was very well versed in science and technology. Naturally, from its appearance, this was just a crude pce. It was huge and imposing. If they followed the road in front of them, they would be able to easily enter the pce. At the entrance was a restriction that seemed particrly powerful.

    Chen Feng looked at Chen Yuan. ¡°Can you remove the restriction?¡±

    ¡°No way.¡± Chen Yuan shook his head as, in a low voice, he said, ¡°This restriction is bait. Near the restriction, many temperature sensors and detectors have been installed.¡±

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡±

    Had this been created through thebination of technology and godly power? What in the world? Luo Yuan was so powerful, yet he was still using such cheap tricks?

    ¡°After all, sensors are rtively unknown and are hard to detect. They also won¡¯t release any energy fluctuations. As such, it is actually the best choice here.¡± In a low voice, Chen Yuan continued, ¡°In any case, he does not intend for these security measures to stop intruders. He only needs to be notified that an intruder has appeared. That alone is sufficient.¡±

    ¡°Mm.¡± Chen Feng nodded in understanding. Clearly, if he wanted to avoid detection, he had to first prevent his body temperature from leaking.

    ¡°The surroundings of this pce seem simr to that of a.¡± Chen Feng had a pensive look when he noticed this. Within the pce, there were a lot of flowers and other vegetation. Evidently, the ecology within the pce was normal. They could even see rabbits wondering about. As such, this was definitely a ce one could breathe normally.

    ¡°Indeed.¡± Chen Yuan paused before adding, ¡°However, I do not rmend breathing in the air here.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Chen Feng was once again amazed. There were sensors here as well?

    ¡°Yes. The quality and proportion of the airponents here have a constant value. The moment you breathe in the air here, the value will change. And then... the pce will self destruct. Moreover, Luo Yuan will probably arrive shortly after as well.¡±

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡±

    He nced over at the distant restriction, his body sweating profusely. What in the world? Normally, when people discovered ruins or a dungeon, wouldn¡¯t they then enter by breaking the restrictions one by one? Luo Yuan was truly somewhat excessive with his sensors. For him, the restrictions were merely bait. These seemingly useless sensors were the actual trap.

    ¡°What else is there? Just tell me all at once,¡± Chen Feng said with a sigh.

    ¡°Sensors.¡± Chen Yuan pondered and continued, ¡°Within the pce, sensors are everywhere. It is impossible for Luo Yuan to focus on the sensors at all times. As such, back then, he put in ce some fixed rules. For example, the moment a mobile life-form is detected, regardless of size, the rm is triggered. Another example is the rabbits. If any of the rabbits die, the rm will be triggered. In this sensory established by Luo Yuan, these rabbits are the only beings capable of moving freely. Therefore, they have to stay alive.¡±

    Chen Feng listened on in silence. This was obviously a ce that no normal person could find. In other words, apart from Luo Yuan himself, nobody else should evere here. Even so, he had such strict security measures installed? Why?

    ¡°To be safe. He is used to preparing for everything. Moreover, the security measures here are not just installed as a precaution against outsiders. They are here to keep Wang Yao in check as well,¡± Chen Yuan exined.

    Chen Feng finally understood. ¡°Oh. In short, these rabbits are only here to prove that one can breathe normally in ce. This will lure others over so that they can be killed?¡±

    Chen Yuan shook his head. ¡°No. The rabbits are part of the sensorywork as well. They are all fake rabbits, and their bodiesden with sensors.¡±

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡±

    What a trap. Luo Yuan was a god, right? He possessed supreme godly power! Could he not set up some powerful restrictions or something like that instead? Sensors? Monitoring? How cheap. Chen Feng wanted to curse at Luo Yuan. s, it was precisely these cheap methods of Luo Yuan¡¯s that were rendering Chen Feng helpless now. He had no way of dealing with them except for breaking in with force.

    He looked at Chen Yuan. ¡°Do you have any ideas?¡±

    ¡°Nope.¡± Chen Yuan spread his hands. ¡°Even in the past, when I or Luo Yuan came, we entered while the rms zed nonstop around us.¡±

    Chen Feng: ¡°...Let me give it some thought.¡±

    His head ached. At present, so long as he took a single step in, Luo Yuan would notice him. Naturally, it was only a matter of time. However, Chen Feng was still intending to make use of the time difference. Since bing a true god, he hadn¡¯t done anything. The first thing he had done was rush here. All this was to make use of the time he had before Luo Yuan realized what his real n was. s, the sensors here were truly quite troublesome.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng asked, ¡°What if everything is frozen?¡±

    If all the sensors were frozen, perhaps...

    ¡°You won¡¯t be able to freeze them.¡± Chen Yuan pointed ahead. ¡°Apart from the sensors, this ce is alsoden with godly power, which Luo Yuan personally granted this pce during its construction.¡±

    ¡°Fine.¡± Chen Feng had indeed forgotten about this. However, there did not seem to be any other alternatives? He focused his gaze. Suddenly, he thought of something. ¡°Chen Yuan. Although you arepletely separated from Luo Yuan now, at the very least, these sensors here won¡¯t be able to differentiate between the two of you, right? If so, can you intercept the transmission of information to Luo Yuan? After all, it isn¡¯t possible for two real Luo Yuans to exist. If this were before, the moment you received the transmission, Luo Yuan would have received it as well. You two were synced together, after all. Therefore, Luo Yuan shouldn¡¯t have set this up in a way that multiple transmissions would be sent, right? In other words, you can be the one to receive all the transmissions here.¡±

    When Chen Yuan heard this, his eyes brightened.

 Chapter 852 - Luo Yuanâ€™s Realization

    <h4>Chapter 852: Luo Yuan¡¯s Realization</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    At this time, in the enormous Kingdom of Luo Yuan, Luo Yuan had finally awakened. He was way too used to be high and mighty and unequaled. When the strongest of others had not even amounted to one percent of his strength, he had be totally fearless and hadn¡¯t cared about anyone else.

    Because of this, he had be egotistical and arrogant. The only thing he had cared about was controlling the world. Everything else had been irrelevant. Qin Hai? Wang Chun? He had not cared about them. If not for the destruction of his clone, Luo Yuan wouldn¡¯t even have cared about the alien worlds. After all, the alien worlds could never truly descend to this world. As such, he had not needed to care.

    Despite that, controlling the world wasn¡¯t an easy feat. He hadn¡¯t been able to shake the feeling that he was being extremely passive. However, he hadn¡¯t been able to find the source of this feeling no matter what and had only been able to give up on trying to figure it out. Now, when he once again had the same guess, he confirmed it with his Luck Aura immediately.

    ¡°Is Chen Feng still alive?¡±

    After a long time, Luck Aura gave him the correct answer. Chen Feng was still alive. That¡¯s right, he had confirmed Chen Feng¡¯s status many times, yet this time, he received apletely different answer. Luo Yuanughed. <i>So it is indeed you!</i>

    At this moment, his line of thought became unprecedentedly clear. The appearance of the mysterious person, the disappearance of his clone, Wang Chun¡¯s alien world, the connection with Ming Yue, the existence of Xiao Ying... At this instant, all of his information ovepped to give him the full picture.

    A cruel smile formed on Luo Yuan¡¯s face. So it turned out the crux of him obtaining control over this world was still with Chen Feng. He did not do anything rash when he realized this, nor did he rage about. After all, the anger he should vent had been vented a long time ago. When he found that Chen Feng was still alive, Luo Yuan entered his highest state of vignce, the vignce he used to have. Also returning to him was also the supreme intelligence he had relied on all those years ago.

    ¡°You have been hiding for me just so you can be a true god.¡±

    Slowly, Luo Yuan joined all the clues together, and in a short few minutes, Chen Feng¡¯s goals were thoroughly analyzed by him.

    ¡°You destroyed my clone to stop him from syncing with me. Otherwise, the instant you attempted to ascend to the true-god stage, I would know.

    ¡°So this is your real goal. You can¡¯t destroy my clone yourself. Therefore, you tricked me into forming a new clone so as to copse him. I see.¡±

    A smile crept onto Luo Yuan¡¯s face. He had fallen for this trick. However, it was still not toote, as he had still ultimately discovered Chen Feng¡¯s secret. At the same time, he had also discovered the true reason for his failure to obtain full control over the world even after so many years.

    In fact, he felt somewhat relieved now that he had realized this. The unknown was the only thing that could give him the jitters. Now, he was clear that so long as Chen Feng was killed, this would end.

    ¡°Crystal Pce! He is hiding there!¡±

    Luo Yuan was sure. His instinctive reaction was to charge into that world. However, this thought onlysted momentarily, as he had suddenly recalled another familiar person: Ye. Back then, had Ye fallen to that alien world by himself, or had he been banished there? Since Ye had prepared to rebel back then, his strength had to have reached a sufficient level. Perhaps he had even reached a level capable of contending against the Creation God.

    However, he had still suffered defeat. Why was that? Had Ye been stupid? Clearly not. With the years he had spent in preparation, the preparation had to have beenpleted by the time he decided to act. If so, why had he suffered defeat? Based on Luo Yuan¡¯s guess, Ye might have chased after some enemy to the Twin-Horns World only to have the enemy destroy all the connections between the two worlds. And thus, Ye had suffered the fate of an eternal banishment.

    Slowly, Ye¡¯s strength had dropped. Without the power of faith, he¡¯d had no choice but to sink into slumber. This hadsted until a new life-form came into being on that world. Thus, Luo Yuan was sure that if he dared to enter The world of The Crystal Pce, the same fate would befall him. Chen Feng would first sever all connections. Next, he would ensure they both suffered mutual annihtion. Based on Luo Yuan¡¯s understanding of Chen Feng, Chen Feng was indeed someone both willing and capable enough to do something like that.

    Luo Yuan sighed. ¡°What a righteous main character.¡± At times, these righteous characters were truly annoying. Chen Feng would truly choose to perish together with Luo Yuan for the sake of humanity. However, such righteous characters also had a fatal weakness. Hehe. Luo Yuan stood up with a cold gaze.

    ¡°Capture everyone from the Gic Union, Gene Production Association, and Research Agency,¡± Luo Yuanmanded.

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Hismand was carried out speedily. As far as these people were concerned, humankind was but one of the various races in existence. And thus, members of those three organizations, numbering in the several hundred thousands, were captured and brought to the public square in the Kingdom of Luo Yuan. These were all people that once had some sort of connection with Chen Feng.

    ¡°Tell them that Chen Feng is still alive,¡± Luo Yuan said cruelly. ¡°If they want to stay alive, pray to Chen Feng to return. Force him to fight a battle with me. After all, he is already a true god, right?¡±

    Luo Yuan was very happy. If Chen Feng were not yet a true god, this method wouldn¡¯t work. However, he was already a true god. Therefore, he had toe. At the very least, for these normal life-forms, the battle between Chen Feng and Luo Yuan would be one between two true gods.

    ¡°Righteousness kills, right?¡± Luo Yuan said with a faint smile. <i>Chen Feng, how long can you keep hiding, with these people that were once close to you dying for your sake? Hehe. </i>There were several hundred thousand of them... Within were figures such as the president, the deputy president, and Chen Feng¡¯s friends from the Gene Production Association, as well as his seniors and various other humans he was so familiar with. Could he endure this?

    Luo Yuan knew Chen Feng all too well. If Chen Feng were not a true god, he would have no choice but to endure this so he could avenge them in the future. Now, though, since Chen Feng was already a true god... hehe. How long could he endure? The smile never left Luo Yuan¡¯s face. He was sure that Chen Feng would definitelye.

    ¡°Prepare for battle,¡± hemanded his underlings. He was going to prepare everything to face this so-called true god. He was going to return to Chen Feng the grief he had suffered for more than 30 years!

    ¡°Chen Feng. I will let you know that even between true gods, there are still differences.¡± Luo Yuan was filled with confidence. After all, he was one only a step away from bing a world controller. How could Chen Fengpare to him?

    Thereupon, in the Kingdom of Luo Yuan, everything was prepared. He stood on standby, waiting for Chen Feng¡¯s arrival. s, after one who day, Chen Feng had yet to appear.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Luo Yuan sneered. ¡°Kill some of them.¡±

    Shua!

    Over ten thousand people were cut down like they were grass. The next day, Chen Feng was still nowhere to be seen.

    ¡°Continue killing,¡± Luo Yuanmanded coldly. s, shocking him, after continuous deaths, Chen Feng was still missing. The seemingly righteous Chen Feng had suddenly be cold blooded. Kill! Kill! Kill! Luo Yuan started killing everyone. Rivers of blood flowed on the public square, and yet Chen Feng was still nowhere to be seen.

    This gave Luo Yuan an ominous feeling. Could it be that he had made an error in judgment? Had he reached this conclusion due to yet another one of the many misconceptions his enemy had thrown his way? No, that wasn¡¯t possible! He had been wrong for over 30 years. This time, there was no way he was wrong. Chen Feng was definitely still alive. Luo Yuan was very confident in his gut.

    But then, why had Chen Feng not appeared? Luo Yuan¡¯s thoughts moved rapidly. In his state of high vignce, his mind spun at a speed surpassing his previous self. With ¡°Chen Feng still alive¡± as the foundation, he started deducing. Why had Chen Feng note? Did he not care about those people? Unless... their deaths were not real deaths? But they had obviously died for real!

    Under what circumstance would their deaths be fake? Suddenly, Luo Yuan realized something. Time! At this very instant, he gazed toward the sky. There, his final roots were nted. A thought shed through his mind. Like thunder, his mind roared. Instantly, Luo Yuan¡¯s mind cleared. So it turned out Chen Feng was trying to get his hands on the power of time! He was looking for Wang Yao! Even though Luo Yuan had not received an intruder alert from his pce, he was able to confirm with his formidable deduction capabilities that Chen Feng¡¯s next goal was outer space!

    <h4>Chapter 853: You Must Be Joking</h4>

    It was time to put in ce some preparations. Although he had yet to meet Chen Feng, once Luo Yuan began to pay attention to him, all his ns seemed to be unable to hide. After all, the two knew each other all too well. Therefore, Luo Yuan was able to see through nearly all of Chen Feng¡¯s ns. Since Chen Feng had not appeared here, he had definitely gone to outer space.

    Based on Luo Yuan¡¯s understanding of Chen Feng, he would hide his identity, then head to outer space to rescue Wang Yao. Unfortunately, an inescapable had been set there long ago.

    ¡°This time, I will not allow you to flee from me.¡±

    Luo Yuan had a firm gaze. There were way too many detection traps nted in outer space. Moreover, within his space station, there was a huge number of fatal traps. Of course, Luo Yuan did not believe that these traps could actually kill Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng was still Chen Feng. The traps would only be able to trap him there. Ultimately, Luo Yuan would still need to personally make a move to end Chen Feng. In any case, only by moving himself would he be able to ensure Chen Feng¡¯s death. Luo Yuan knew that if he didn¡¯t personally witness Chen Feng¡¯s death, he would spend his entire life wondering whether Chen Feng was truly dead. As such, he had to personally ensure Chen Feng¡¯s death.

    ¡°I haven¡¯t received any alerts from the space station yet. Mhm... It seems Chen Feng isn¡¯t there yet,¡± Luo Yuan muttered himself. He had to time his arrival nicely. If he arrived too early, Chen Feng would flee before reaching. In any case, his sensors there weren¡¯t something any ordinary person could detect. Therefore, when Chen Feng broke through the restrictions there, when he began to slowly enter the pce... that would be the perfect time for Luo Yuan to arrive.

    Nevertheless, until that moment, he had to prepare. Regardless of how much he looked down on Chen Feng, a true god was still a true god. Chen Feng was no longer the same person as before. To eliminate a true god, the proper measures needed to be taken. Otherwise, if Chen Feng escaped, he wouldn¡¯t be so easy to catch in the future.

    ¡°I need to prepare some methods.¡±

    He scanned the numerous abilities he possessed before finally stopping on his recently emptied book ability.

    Perhaps he should form a new alien world from a different book? Neither Godly Model Creator nor The Crystal Pce would do. If so... what about a book regarding cultivation? He found a book called Heaven ughtering Diagram. In this world, there were 3,000 grand daos as well as a process for gathering godly power. It shared some resemnce to his cultivation system.

    ¡°The author of this book is astonishingly intelligent and highly popr. Moreover, the cultivation system they have fits me nicely, and there are countless experts in this world. I might even be able to catch a glimpse of the process of world creation from this book.¡±

    Luo Yuan was very satisfied with his choice. Thus, a new alien world was formed based on this book, and Luo Yuan entered happily. s, three dayster, he left with a pale expression. There was no other reason than that the author of this book was way too capable of writing filler. In theter parts of the book, when godhood was near, the author wrote never-ending filler. Luo Yuan followed along with the filler until he couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. If he continued with this story, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to reach the end and witness the main character¡¯s ascension even after Chen Feng had taken his space station apart.

    Luo Yuan raged. ¡°These damnable filler-writing authors! I will kill you guys sooner orter! At this rate, how long would I need to wait for the main character to ascend?¡±

    He gave up on this book. He had finally learned that alien worlds were truly unreliable. Many times, the books were only written due to sudden shes of inspiration from the authors. It was truly fortunate that Luo Yuan had selected a book that was actually finished. If the book had been dropped, it would have been even worse.

    ¡°Well, I still gained something from this trip.¡±

    When he had been in that world, he had been able to gain someprehension when observing the great dao. This had allowed his strength to grow again. It wouldn¡¯t be long before he was able to be a world controller. Perhaps... he wouldn¡¯t even need the godhood of misfortune. Regardless, that damnable Chen Feng still had to die.

    Luo Yuan gazed at the sky. ¡°By now, you should be reaching the space station, right?¡±

    Suddenly, his wristband began beeping like crazy.

    Didi¡ª

    Didi¡ª

    This was the sound of alerts originating from outer space.

    A smile crept onto Luo Yuan¡¯s face. ¡°You have finally arrived.¡± Since he had received the alert, it was time for him to set off.

    ...

    At this time, in outer space, a huge mess had been created at the entrance of the originally imposing pce. The outer part of this pce had been nearly taken apart. Half the pce had crumbled apart. That¡¯s right, Chen Feng had long since entered the pce. With Chen Yuan here intercepting the alert transmissions, he¡¯d had nothing to fear.

    As such, he had broken in through brute force. Over two days, nearly the entire pce had been taken apart. Despite this, he had still failed to enter the core area. Unfortunately, that was where Wang Yao was located.

    Before him, an immense pce was floating. Countless crushed blocks hovered around, orbiting the pce. Only the hall in the middle of everything still shone with a magnificent radiance, the very hall that was untouchable.

    ¡°This ce is untouchable,¡± Chen Yuan said as he narrowed his gaze. ¡°In fear of some idents or Wang Yao¡¯s escape, this ce has been set in a way such that nobody can open it. Not even Luo Yuan. Only when Wang Yao finished her cultivation would this ce be automatically opened.¡±

    ¡°I know,¡± Chen Feng replied calmly.

    <i>What is the point ofing here if you already know this? </i>Chen Yuan could not understand Chen Feng¡¯s motivation. Wasn¡¯t he here to rescue Wang Yao? If they couldn¡¯t do that, then wasn¡¯t this trip pointless?

    Chen Feng merelyughed. ¡°Hehe.¡± Next, his body floated forward and slowly neared that huge pce.

    Bang!

    A deafening boom resounded. One could see Chen Feng utilizing all his might to lift the entire pce.

    Chen Yuan¡¯s eyes went wide. This... Was he sick? He was nning to carry the entire pce away?

    ng! ng!

    Apanied by various nging sounds and the zing rms, the huge pce actually began moving. Next, it slowly elerated.

    ¡°You are really nning to carry it away?¡± Chen Yuan was shaken. This fellow had gone crazy.

    Although Chen Feng was only carrying the core part of the space station, he was still carrying a huge, intact pce. Wasn¡¯t he aware of how big that thing was? Compared to that pce, Chen Feng was akin to an ant.

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. ¡°Of course. Since I can¡¯t bring Wang Yao away, I will just take everything away. With this, there won¡¯t be any danger when she wakes up.¡±

    Chen Yuan: ¡°...¡±

    Chen Feng¡¯s thought process was quite simple. However, when Chen Yuan pondered it, what Chen Feng was doing was in fact quite logical.

    ¡°Fine...¡± Chen Yuan could only ept this. In any case, he was only here to help Chen Feng in the first ce. In outer space, the void was ripped apart. Chen Feng contacted Wang Chun to have him establish a tunnel using this tear in the void, and before Chen Yuan¡¯s speechless gaze, he stuffed the huge pce into the alien world.

    ng! ng!

    The friction between the huge pce and the crack leading to the alien world created a loud sound.

    Ka! Ka!

    Once again, countless cracks appeared in the alien world. If Ming Yue and Shen Wang hadn¡¯t appeared to stabilize the alien world, it might have copsed for real this time. Ultimately, the entire pce was sessfully stuffed inside.

    ¡°Done.¡± Chen Feng had a pleased expression.

    Chen Yuan: ¡°...¡±

    He had never expected this to be the result of their trip here.

    He had initially believed that Chen Feng was nning to leave traps around the space station and wait for Luo Yuan¡¯s arrival. Then the two would fight a decisive battle. Unexpectedly, what had happened instead was the pce being carried away. What in the world? Chen Yuan was still stupefied.

    ¡°All right, time to notify Luo Yuan,¡± Chen Feng said.

    ¡°Ah?¡± Chen Yuan nked. ¡°Notify him?¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡± Chen Feng nced at Chen Yuan. ¡°The entire pce has been stolen. The moment we leave, he will find out. Therefore, it does not matter if we notify him first. Don¡¯t ever look down on his intelligence. We only seeded because he is not aware of your existence.¡±

    ...

    After a long while, Luo Yuan arrived with an imposing aura. Instantly, he was stunned. What he was looking at... did not seem to be what he had pictured? There was no Chen Feng. There were no enemies either. In fact... even his pce was no more. Here, all that remained was some ruins.

    ¡°How?¡±

    Luo Yuan stared nkly for a long time. Finally, he reached a verdict. That bastard had stolen his entire hideout while he was absent! What Chen Feng had been able to destroy had been destroyed. What Chen Feng hadn¡¯t been able to destroy had been stolen. However, with this, Luo Yuan¡¯s guess was confirmed. Chen Feng was indeed still alive. Damn it, only Chen Feng would do something like steal an entire hideout. Was he a madman or something?

 Chapter 854 - Luo Yuanâ€™s Decision

    <h4>Chapter 854: Luo Yuan¡¯s Decision</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    ¡°Will... Will this work?¡± Chen Yuan was still feeling anxious. After all, he had never seen something like this be done and thus had little confidence. Hisck of confidence was especially pronounced when facing Luo Yuan, who he had once been one with.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I have plenty of experience doing things like this,¡± Chen Fengforted him.

    Chen Yuan: ¡°...¡±

    <i>What do you mean?</i>

    ¡°I have a question,¡± Chen Feng asked as he nced sideways at Chen Yuan. ¡°Are there traps in this pce? rms or self-destruct systems?¡±

    ¡°No,¡± Chen Yuan replied calmly.

    Chen Feng continued his line of questioning. ¡°Are there any sensors? Detectors? Monitoring systems?¡±

    Chen Yuan shook his head. ¡°No.¡±

    Chen Feng red at him. ¡°Then what are you afraid of? Like I said, this is how I normally do things. There is nothing to be surprised about. Since the pce is safe, carrying it away in its entirety will be fine.¡±

    Chen Yuan smiled bitterly. ¡°I am only... scared of infuriating him.¡±

    Chen Feng looked at him like he was looking at an idiot. ¡°Aren¡¯t we already enemies?¡± Since Luo Yuan was already an enemy, wasn¡¯t it even better to infuriate him?

    Chen Yuan still had the same bitter smile. ¡°No, it¡¯s not the same.¡± Yes, yes, Chen Feng probably wouldn¡¯t care. However, Chen Yuan was worried about himself. After all, he was the reason this had actually happened in the first ce. Why had Luo Yuan suffered such a big loss? Simple. As far as Luo Yuan was concerned, this clone was already dead. He had no idea that this clone, which was as ambitious as him, had actually been subverted.

    That wasn¡¯t supposed to be possible. After all, the clone was also him. Luo Yuan was very clear that he was someone who wouldn¡¯t be subverted no matter what. Therefore, his excessive confidence had caused him to neglect the fact that a clone was still a clone. Even though they possessed the same intelligence, they could take entirely different positions. And when the clone was just a clone, he was much easier to persuade.

    This was the actual reason he had lost his pce. Chen Yuan had yed an important role. Naturally, carrying the entire pce wasn¡¯t something Chen Yuan had expected. However, what he was most worried about was Luo Yuan figuring out that he was still alive.

    Luo Yuan was very intelligent. He would not remain blind forever. Why had he not received any alerts even when his pce was being taken apart? It wouldn¡¯t take long for Luo Yuan to think of this clone of his. He would reach the conclusion that this clone was still alive. At that time, Chen Yuan would probably be the target of the furious Luo Yuan.

    Now that the two of them werepletely separated, even Chen Yuan himself did not know what the real body could actually do to him.

    ¡°Well, then just stay in the alien world for now,¡± Chen Feng said after giving it some thought. After all, the alien world was still a restricted area for Luo Yuan.

    ¡°Fine.¡± Chen Yuan did not bother arguing. However, his heart was still brimming with anxiousness. Luo Yuan... and himself... Under normal circumstances, when Luo Yuan was in his normal state, he had no worries. He understood Luo Yuan all too well and would be able to scheme against him. What about when Luo Yuan was furious, then? This Luo Yuan that would no longer care about gains and losses. This Luo Yuan would be unpredictable.

    ***

    In outer space, Luo Yuan was still silently staring at the mess before him. This was his pce, the ce where everything had started. Beforeing, he had made numerous ns in mind and been prepared for various possibilities. For instance, what if Chen Feng didn¡¯t enter the pce and instead hid nearby to ambush him? That was quite possible. As such, Luo Yuan had had some measures in ce to deal with that.

    s, this situation here... was the only situation he had not prepared for. This hadpletely surpassed his expectations. The rms... After a short silence, Luo Yuan finally understood. It was his clone. Chen Feng had actually subverted his clone. Just as Chen Yuan had said, a small clue was all Luo Yuan had required to reach this conclusion.

    Luo Yuanughed. ¡°You actually seeded in subverting him.¡± That was his clone, a clone that shared his ambitions! What a fine Chen Feng indeed!

    ¡°Isn¡¯t subverting him the same as subverting me, in a sense?¡± Luo Yuan eximed in admiration. He couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of admiration toward Chen Feng. However, it was time for this to stop. Luo Yuan stared into the distance. He had suffered defeat after defeat along the way, the initiative always in Chen Feng¡¯s hands. Now, he had even lost his key to the power of time. However... Luo Yuan shook his head.

    ¡°All missing information has been obtained now,¡± he muttered.

    At first, due to not knowing that Chen Feng was still alive, he had suffered loss after loss. Next, the matter pertaining to The Crystal Pce. And finally, his clone... Due to hisck of information, he had erred time after time. Now, that would cease. He had finally obtained all the information he had beencking. Chen Feng had lost the only advantage he¡¯d had.

    ¡°You are making use of the clone to make a move against me, right?¡±

    Luo Yuan¡¯s gaze was cold. The clone was himself. As such, everything about the clone, including its thought process, was identical to Luo Yuan himself. Therefore, it was the correct choice to make use of his clone against him. If so, Luo Yuan would have to change his thought process from now onward. Change it himself? No. Anything he could think of, his clone would be able to think of as well. It would still be exploited by Chen Feng. That wouldn¡¯t work.

    If so... the only solution was to change his character ording to the situation. This was his only choice. Suddenly, Luo Yuanughed.

    Hum¡ª

    Luck Aura shed. Temtes for countless different characteristics appeared for his choosing. Next, among these temtes, a rule was set so that a random temte would be chosen with each encounter. He would act ording to the temtes from now on. His goal was a simple one: to not give Chen Feng any chance to exploit his line of thought.

    As for Luck Aura, the only reason it existed was to neutralize Chen Feng¡¯s interference. He had to ensure that his choice of action was truly random, to the point that even he himself did not know what he would do next. With that, Chen Feng would not be able to anticipate his next step either. Perhaps it was because the opponent this time was Chen Feng. Luo Yuan was presently much calmer than Chen Yuan had imagined.

    If so, how should he deal with Chen Feng stealing his pce? He had thought of countless methods for revenge. However, he absolutely could not do any of those, as Chen Feng would have prepared for those as well. Chen Feng was an extremely intelligent person. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t have been possible for him to trick Luo Yuan for over 30 years. Therefore, anything he could think of was something Chen Feng and his clone could think of.

    The table of temtes within him shed.

    ¡°I will be relying on you, then.¡±

    Shua!

    Soon, a random temte was chosen. With this selection, Luo Yuan¡¯s mental state changed ordingly. Based on this temte, he should...

    Shua! Shua!

    He calcted rapidly.

    Each temte had its own unique method of dealing with things. This was something Luo Yuan himself couldn¡¯t change. ording to his n, no matter which temte was chosen, he would act ording to the characteristics of the temte. But this...

    Luo Yuan¡¯s expression became unsightly. The temte was just a shell; at the core of it all was still Luo Yuan himself. Therefore, he could decide if he wanted to act ording to the temte or not. The method of this selected temte, in all honesty... wasn¡¯t one he would use normally. After all, this was too idiotic. But... if even he himself hadn¡¯t seen thising, perhaps it would work against Chen Feng? Of course, it could be a totally stupid decision too.

    ¡°What should I do?¡±

    Should he follow his own reasoning or should he follow this temte? Luo Yuan hesitated for a long time. This impetuous character and hot-headed way of making decisions...

    Shua!

    He finally decided.

    ¡°I will do it this way then.¡±

    Finally, Luo Yuan decided to give it a try.

 Chapter 855 - The Final Battle Arrived Suddenly

    <h4>Chapter 855: The Final Battle Arrived Suddenly</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    In the world of The Crystal Pce, Chen Feng was preparing for what was toe. Since the secret was already out, he had to face what was toe.

    ¡°We have already finished our preparations,¡± said Ming Yue. ¡°At the very least, they won¡¯t be able to enter this world through other channels.¡±

    This alien world had beenpletely sealed off. When Ming Yue and Shen Wang joined hands, their strength had increased greatly. Even Xiao Ying, who shared a contract of life and death with her, had benefited from this, greatly growing in strength as well. Working together, Ming Yue and Shen Wang had thoroughly sealed this world off. At the very least, they could now ensure that a clone like Chen Yuan would not be able to enter. This was the sole advantage Chen Feng had left.

    ¡°Luo Yuan¡¯s goal is to be the world controller. Having stopped him from obtaining misfortune and time, his next step will most definitely be me.¡± Chen Feng was certain of this. ¡°Therefore, we sealed this alien world up, stopping his clone from entering. Naturally, if it¡¯s his real body...¡±

    They exchanged nces. If it was the real body, they truly wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything. After all, Luo Yuan¡¯s real body was too powerful. The seal ced on this world would not be able to stop his advance. Regardless, if he came with his real body, they would have no choice but to engage in a decisive battle with him here. If that happened, the result would either be their side¡¯s victory or mutual annihtion.

    If required, Chen Feng would not mind destroying the entire alien world and dying together with Luo Yuan. This was also why Luo Yuan had never dared to enter personally. There was a chance that he would die together with Chen Feng. If this alien world was destroyed while he was inside, it would be the end of him.

    ¡°Therefore, he will definitely note personally. However, he will probably try other methods. Perhaps he will send some unique clones that are stronger, or clones that possess the same strength as him, or something else that is simrly unique.¡±

    This was the conclusion Chen Feng had reached. This was also the most likely thing to happen.

    Chen Yuan nodded in agreement. ¡°That should be the case.¡±

    All other possibilities they could think of had been rejected. Continue to look forprehension of world creation from an alien world? Luo Yuan did not have such a world. Therefore, his goal would most certainly be Chen Feng. With Luo Yuan¡¯s nature, after discovering Chen Feng, he would likely try to do something he wouldn¡¯t normally do. Therefore, this would be yet another bitter struggle.

    ¡°Chen Yuan, list all your guesses of what he might do. Do not miss a single one,¡± Chen Feng said.

    ¡°Understood.¡± Chen Yuan had a solemn expression. Since this pertained to his life, he had to take this seriously. And thus, Chen Feng, Chen Yuan, Ming Yue, and even Wang Chun started discussing Luo Yuan¡¯s possible choices. Also discussed was Chen Feng¡¯s rapid growth. It was quite possible that the next battle would also be the final one.

    At least, this was what they thought would happen.

    ¡°I think...¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. However, you have to increase your strength as rapidly as possible as well.¡±

    ¡°What about...¡±

    Everyone voiced their opinions. Every single possibility, every single idea, every single possible conclusion was discussed. With this alien world as the center, a game of chess was yed. In this game, they tried to encircle Luo Yuan, to checkmate him in every possible way. Even the assistance of Qin Hai and the rest was taken into consideration in their nning.

    Because of that, everyone was gathered in this world. To do this, Wang Chun had to make a huge sacrifice. Several lively girls had to sign contracts of life and death with these fellows to enable them to enter this world. The mere thought of this caused iparable pain in Wang Chun¡¯s heart. He felt like his head would be eternally green now. After all, this world was supposed to be his harem!

    Granted, Kong Bai¡¯s appearance here taught the girls that Wang Chun was actually quite dashing, but one should not forget that Qin Hai and Xu Fei also entered this world.

    Wang Chun gnashed his teeth. ¡°What are you guys looking at?¡±

    Xu Feiughed dryly. ¡°Hehe.¡± This ce was simply heaven. Tsk tsk. Why couldn¡¯t he have this ability as well?

    ¡°I am not looking,¡± Qin Hai said solemnly. He pointed at the surrounding girls. ¡°They are the one looking at me.¡±

    Wang Chun: ¡°...¡±

    What could he say to this? Just as they were discussing their ns, suddenly, the air cracked. A deafening sound echoed from the sky above them.

    Ming Yue nked. This sound...

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    The sound grew louder.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng¡¯s vignce rose. ¡°Prepare for war!¡±

    Ming Yue and Shen Wang began reinforcing this world¡¯s defenses. Even if Luo Yuan once again tried to send his clone in through a world of The Crystal Pce he created, the clone wouldn¡¯t be able to get here. If so, what exactly was this sound? Everyone¡¯s vignce rose. Perhaps this was, as they¡¯d guessed, a strengthened version of Luo Yuan¡¯s clone?

    Ka! Ka!

    Cracks appeared in the sky. Energy converged in the hands of Chen Feng and everyone else as they entered a battle-ready state.

    Bang!

    Apanied by a loud boom, the sky was ripped apart. There, a familiar figure appeared. Luo Yuan had truly arrived! However, when they saw him, they were all stunned, as they realized that rather than a clone, Luo Yuan was descending personally. That¡¯s right, he had actuallye with his real body. It was no wonder that he could enter so easily.

    With his real body... Was he here to die? Everyone was filled with doubt. After all, with Luo Yuan¡¯s real bodying personally, victory was no longer possible for him. There could only be two results. The first was Chen Feng¡¯s victory. The second was him defeating Chen Feng, but before death, Chen Feng would destroy this world, banishing Luo Yuan from reality forever. There were no other possible results.

    As such, they had never expected Luo Yuan toe personally. Had this fellow gone crazy? Even Chen Yuan was staring at Luo Yuan with a disbelieving gaze. Could it be that beyond just being Luo Yuan¡¯s clone, Chen Yuan had also possessed some of Luo Yuan¡¯s intelligence? Thus, after he left, Luo Yuan¡¯s intelligence had dropped? He truly couldn¡¯t make sense of this. However, at this time, there was no point in trying to understand anything.

    Chen Feng gave a signal. ¡°Seal!¡±

    He had truly made no preparations for this action of Luo Yuan¡¯s. He hadn¡¯t seen thising at all. However, there was no need for any preparations. With a single thought, Ming Yue and Shen Wang ced this world on lockdown.

    Shua! Shua!

    Light swirled around as the entire alien world was locked down. In fact, a locked-down alien world could be opened through unique methods, such as what Luo Yuan had done with his clone before. But Luo Yuan entering personally was equivalent to locking himself within this world. Nobody would be able to open this lock. Now, this world was truly locked down. What exactly was going on in this fellow¡¯s brain? Chen Feng and the rest exchanged nces, bewildered. They did not believe that Luo Yuan would do something as stupid as deliver himself into their trap.

    Perhaps this was truly a special clone? Everyone instinctively looked at Chen Yuan.

    He shook his head bitterly. ¡°This is the real body.¡± Even though he was no longer linked to Luo Yuan, he was still sure that this was the real body.

    Everyone sank into silence. In short, this might be the end of this long struggle? Slowly, Luo Yuan descended from the sky. The crack in the sky closed up, yet he did not seem to care. He merely gazed ahead, gazing at the figure that he had been thinking about for several decades. Indeed... Chen Feng was still alive. This was the first time he had seen Chen Feng in over 30 years.

    ¡°It has... truly been a while, Chen Feng,¡± Luo Yuan said with a faint smile.

    Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. What exactly was Luo Yuan¡¯s n?

    Somewhere within The Crystal Pce, a small pce hovered. The unique aura here allowed this pce to hover in the air, a faint energy surrounding it.

    ¡°Help it maintain the null-gravity state,¡± Shen Wei said coldly.

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    The rest continued defending this ce seriously.

    Bang!

    Loud booms asionally sounded in the distance. The earth itself shook as the immense might of the impacts caused the entire pce to lean sideways. However, through the efforts of Shen Wei and others, the pce was stabilized.

    ¡°Pay more attention. No matter what, we can¡¯t allow it to be hit,¡± Shen Wei said.

    Shen Yi came over with a big smile on her face. ¡°Let me help as well.¡± After all, here, only the two of them were truly aware of what this pce represented. In fact, the huge battle that was unfolding on the other side of this world was precisely for the sake of this pce.

    ¡°Young Lady Wang Yao... please wake up quickly,¡± Shen Yi prayed. That terrifying demon king seemed to have descended upon this world.

    Chen Feng smiled. ¡°It hasn¡¯t been that long. We met not too long ago.¡±

    ¡°Ah.¡± Luo Yuan suddenly realized something. So that mysterious person had indeed been Chen Feng? How idiotic of him at the time.

    Chen Feng looked at Luo Yuan indifferently. ¡°Do you even realize what you¡¯re doing?¡± Entering this alien world signified that the very best oue Luo Yuan could hope for was mutual annihtion. With Luo Yuan¡¯s intelligence, how could he do something so stupid?

    Luo Yuan smiled. ¡°Of course. This was indeed quite the stupid thing to do. You kidnapped my clone and had even subverted him. Therefore, I, being furious, lost my reason and came charging here. Isn¡¯t that normal?¡±

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡± To hell with this ¡°lost my reason.¡± Did Luo Yuan look like someone who had lost his intellect at all? No, he didn¡¯t.

    Luo Yuan was all smiles. ¡°What¡¯s the rush? Come, sit down and have a chat?¡±

    Chen Feng merely regarded Luo Yuan coldly.

    ¡°Look, you younglings sure are impatient,¡± Luo Yuanmented. His gaze became cold. ¡°You¡¯ve been tricking me for over 30 years. If even I am not in a rush to teach you a lesson, why are you in such a rush? Hehe, there are things that can¡¯t be rushed. In fact, I am very curious. All these years of keeping me in the dark, do I appear silly to you? I fell for all your ns and traps. For what? For the misfortune godhood, which is as good as nonexistent?¡±

    Luo Yuan sighed as he shook his head.

    <i>Misfortune... </i>Chen Feng had a contemtive look. He nced at the distant Wang Chun and signaled him. Instantly, Wang Chun understood. He immediately told Ming Yue to use thews of this world to separate luck and misfortune. That¡¯s right, forceful separation. With this, Luo Yuan would have no chance of getting into contact with both without first destroying this world. No matter what Luo Yuan¡¯s true goal was, Chen Feng would never mind adding an extrayer of preparation.

    ¡°You are truly too impatient,¡± Luo Yuan said with a smile. ¡°Who told you that I¡¯m here for the misfortune godhood?¡±

    ¡°Why are you here then?¡± Chen Feng asked calmly. ¡°Are you only here for the sake of killing me?¡±

    ¡°What do you think?¡± Luo Yuan was all smiles. ¡°After all, you subverted my clone. Every step I take will be anticipated by him. Therefore, my subsequent actions will all be within your expectations. To avoid this, I can only do something I wouldn¡¯t normally do... by doing something you will never seeing. For instance, what I am doing now.¡±

    Luo Yuan was very happy, seemingly feeling pleased with how his action had surpassed Chen Feng¡¯s expectations.

    Chen Feng sighed. ¡°A dead end?¡± After all, this path Luo Yuan had chosen was indeed a dead end. A dead end he could never return from even if he managed to emerge victorious from the battle.

    ¡°Naturally.¡± Luo Yuan approved of his choice greatly. ¡°Only a dead end can surpass your expectations. Only by choosing a dead end will I be able to escape from your tricks. And only a dead end can...¡± Luo Yuan¡¯s gaze suddenly intensified. ¡°...allow one to be reborn from death!¡±

    What? Chen Feng sank into a solemn mood.

    Bang!

    Suddenly, Luo Yuan moved. Chen Feng had long been prepared for this. However, Luo Yuan¡¯s attack was not directed toward Chen Feng, Kong Bai, or anyone else. Rather, this attack was headed toward his surroundings, toward the world restricting his strength.

    Bang! Bang!

    A terrifying shockwave spread out. Luo Yuan was pouring out his power to destroy this world.

    Bang! Bang!

    The Crystal Pce began shaking.

    Chen Yuan cursed. ¡°Have you gone crazy?¡± Had Luo Yuan truly be stupid? Chen Yuan thought back to his previous self. With his intelligence, he should have progressed step by step and slowly push Chen Feng to his death. How could he do something so hot headed? Moreover, to attack this alien world? What a madman! After all, the result of this world¡¯s destruction would be everyone¡¯s death!

    Was Luo Yuan truly here only to die together with them? As they thought of this, fear crept into their mind. Only Chen Feng became even calmer. Dying together... was in fact not the worst thing that might happen, right?

    ¡°Are you sure you want to die together with me?¡± asked Chen Feng. The world rocked as the earth trembled. The entire world began cracking all over. Even Ming Yue and Shen Wang couldn¡¯t heal this world at this point. Luo Yuan¡¯s real body was too powerful.

    Luo Yuanughed. ¡°Of course not.¡±

    Shua!

    He waved his hand, ripping space apart. Next, numerous people appeared from the tear. When Chen Feng looked over, he noticed that these were all subordinates of Luo Yuan, the gods Luo Yuan had umted throughout the years. There were several thousand of them here, each a formidable god in their own right. This world had been locked down. They shouldn¡¯t have been able to appear here. Since they had... Luo Yuan had to have kept them somewhere on his self when he came here.

    These people had to have been hidden somewhere on Luo Yuan. Perhaps they had shrunk, or perhaps they hadtched on to him, or maybe they had used some other method. In any case, they had entered. However, what was the point of this? Even the strongest among these gods was merely a journeyman god, right? Chen Feng could probably kill a whole bunch of them with a casual wave of his hand. Why had Luo Yuan gathered them here?

    ¡°Are you curious?¡± Luo Yuan was all smiles. ¡°I am very curious as well. After all, this method is so stupid that even I myself would never have thought of it. However, this is also precisely something you never prepared for, right?¡± Luo Yuan calmly said. Chen Feng had gained control over his clone, and Luo Yuan had been in at an absolute disadvantage. All his future actions would have been within their expectations. Therefore, he¡¯d had to kill his way to a solution.

    Chen Feng¡¯s heart sank. ¡°This fellow...¡± What exactly was this person intending to do?

    ¡°Almost time,¡± Luo Yuan muttered.

    Bang!

    As the world was on the verge of destruction, Luo Yuan poured his strongest might into the world. If this attack actuallynded, the entirety of this world would be instantly destroyed. At this moment, everyone¡¯s gaze became focused.

    <h4>Chapter 857: Destroying Everything</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    Bang!

    A terrifying power bloomed. Luo Yuan¡¯s mighty power spread out and traveled through the void to directly appear above the pce wherein Wang Yao dwelled. This rmed everyone here. He was actually attacking the pce! Was he trying to kill Wang Yao? No, that was not possible.

    ¡°He won¡¯t be able to break through the pce¡¯s defense.¡± Chen Yuan was sure. After all, the Luo Yuan had been the one to ce the defense¡¯s around this pce, and the defenses were capable of guarding against even Luo Yuan himself. The reason he had done this was to allow Wang Yao to focus on nothing butprehending the power of time, undisturbed by anyone.

    Bang!

    That mighty power collided with the top of the pce, creating a deafening sound.

    ng!

    The entire world seemed to shake. The pce wasn¡¯t destroyed; it was just as Chen Yuan had said. This pce couldn¡¯t be destroyed. However, because of Luo Yuan¡¯s attack, the power surrounding the pce echoed out, forcefully scattering what power of time Wang Yao hadprehended thus far.

    Shua!

    Instantly, the terrifying power of time roiled out. Like a tidal wave, the power of time engulfed the entire world, covering every single corner of the world and everyone in it, including Luo Yuan himself.

    Chen Yuan was horrified. ¡°You are actually...¡± He finally understood what Luo Yuan intended to do. Time chaos! He was forcefully dissipating all of Wang Yao¡¯s power of time, forcing it to spread around this world, which would be a chaotic time that would affect all the people present.

    The alien world was too small, to the point that when this power spread, it was sufficient to engulf the entire world. None of the people in this world could hide. Everyone would suffer the effects of time.

    ¡°You are throwing Wang Yao¡¯s 30 years of work down the drain!¡± Chen Yuan howled.

    Doing this was no different than suicide. That was because Luo Yuan was the only one who wished for Wang Yao toprehend the power of time. Nobody else cared. By doing this, the progress of Wang Yao¡¯s cultivation would be reduced greatly. This madman... after appearing this time, everything he was doing was crazy.

    Luo Yuan sneered. ¡°I know.¡± He had finally seen through what mattered. The power of time? It wasn¡¯t important. Killing Chen Feng was the only thing that mattered. When Chen Feng finally died, he could take his time doing whatever he wanted. Although this action of his seemed somewhat hot headed, it was also his best chance to kill Chen Feng.

    Otherwise, if Chen Feng was allowed to keep hiding in this world and growing without a stop, Chen Feng would eventually surpass him. Therefore, he had to destroy Chen Feng. And now... hehe.

    ¡°Ahh, the power of time.¡±

    Sensing the power of time washing over him, Luo Yuan suddenlyughed.

    ¡°Have you guys seen time chaos before?¡±

    Chen Yuan¡¯s expression sank. <i>Could it be... </i>Time chaos was an entirely different concept than spatial chaos. A lot of people had experienced spatial chaos. It was a region brimming with the power of space, a region capable of disintegration, a region filled with various spatial cracks. Anyone who entered identally would be ripped apart by the power of space. That was because in such a ce, anything might copse at any time. Space might shatter into spatial fragments, or the space one upied might suddenly rip apart. They were extremely fatal ces.

    Even people as strong as Luo Yuan and Chen Feng would not dare to carelessly enter such a location without Luck Aura. The few times Chen Feng had been able to avoid Luo Yuan¡¯s detection were by relying on spatial chaos. As for time chaos...

    Hehe.

    Time chaos was a damnable ce nobody wanted to experience. After all, the essence of spatial chaos was the same as the essence of time chaos: chaos! In other words, time chaos was a location where time itself was chaotic. Here, the flow of time was unstable. It might be fast or slow. Naturally, there was also the possibility that time would flow normally. This was a ce where the direction time took was abnormal. It might go forward or backward.

    Could one imagine what it would feel like when time moved everywhen mindlessly? Nobody would want to know that feeling. The scariest of all was frozen time. If one was unlucky enough to be in an area where time was frozen, well, one would be frozen there forever.

    The power of time was endless and boundless, and all these effects were unstoppable. One might be able to defend against the copse of space caused by spatial chaos. However, the power of time permeated everything. It was unstoppable. What did Luo Yuan intend to do? He intended to destroy everything, to restart this world. No, to be precise, he intended to reset all the life-forms on this world.

    ¡°You have no idea what you are doing!¡± Chen Yuan yelled. Unfortunately, as the power of time washed over him, his voice stopped and an expression of utter terror appeared on his face. In that one instant, time had flowed backward 10 years. He had unluckily been engulfed by the power of time. Perhaps, normally, time flowing backward 10 years might be a good thing. After all, it was 10 years worth of youth, right? s, Chen Yuan was an exception. Ten years ago, he had not existed!

    Hum¡ª

    His body was surrounded by a boundless radiance. Eventually, he transformed into countless light particles and dissipated into nothingness. This clone, the other Luo Yuan, under the effects of time, had transformed into nothingness. This sinister scene shocked everyone. Everyone retreated madly. s, it was pointless. The power of time had already engulfed the entire world. Nobody could hope to hide from it.

    Shua!

    The power of time swept around. Some people aged immediately as the beautiful youngdies suddenly became old. There were even some who instantly died of old age. Time was the scariest of powers. Some became extremely young. Some grew younger by three years, some by five years, and some grew several decades younger instantly, transforming into nothingness.

    Shua! Shua!

    As the power of time rippled out, countless people vanished from existence. A terrifying change was taking ce at a speed visible to the naked eyes.

    The power of time swept over and engulfed Chen Feng, Qin Hai, Kong Bai, Luo Yuan himself, the numerous gods behind Luo Yuan, and all the others. Ultimately, that power shook the entire world. The alien world, which had already been on the verge of copse, began to recover and became even stronger than before. The entire world was reinforcing. One time, ten times, a hundred times...Nobody knew what this world was experiencing. That was how profound the power of time was.

    Even now, the rippling of the power of time had yet to stop. Even though the entire world had already been changed, the power of time was seemingly still changing something.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance began to spread. After a long time, finally, that terrifying power stopped. At this time, in the entire world, only a single location hadn¡¯t changed in the slightest. This was the deepest core of this world, the center of the power of time, that very pce. At this time, the pce was hovering in the sky. Within, in the very center of the pce, Wang Yao was seated cross-legged, looking very much like a true god.

    She was still immersed in her cultivation,pletely ignoring everything that was happening outside.

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    The power of time swirled around within the pce. Finally, it stopped overflowing outside and started gathering around Wang Yao. Here and now, Wang Yao appeared so very resplendent. As of this moment, this ce was the core of this world.

 Chapter 858 - Reset the World

    <h4>Chapter 858: Reset the World</h4>

    In the world of The Crystal Pce, the tidal wave of time had stopped. The entire world was filled with bizarre swirling lights as the entire world seemed to be radiating the power of time. Luo Yuan was resetting the entire world.

    In a sh, before Chen Feng could do anything, the transformation began. Before his eyes was nothing but a boundless radiance. Every single inch of this world now had a luster like the surface of a mirror.

    ¡°Luo Yuan...¡± Chen Feng inhaled deeply. Luo Yuan deciding to do this had indeed surpassed everyone¡¯s expectations, even Chen Feng¡¯s. However, the rest of the world wasn¡¯t necessarily advantageous to Luo Yuan. It might be possible for this to be an advantage for Chen Feng instead. Naturally, Luck Aura should be able to put an end to this. After all, a location of chaotic time was akin to Luck Aura¡¯s home ground. Unfortunately, since both of them possessed Luck Aura, the two auras counteracted each other. As such, the development of this world happened freely, without any outside interference.

    ¡°Everyone that was assembled here has been split up, moved to random locations.¡± Chen Feng pondered. Although everything was in chaos now, he was still trying to arrange his thoughts as soon as possible. Luo Yuan and the numerous gods he had brought had also been affected by the power of time. As for Chen Feng and those on his side, they had also been transformed by the power of time. Not a single person could escape time. These people might appear in any random part of this world now.

    ¡°My strength...¡± Chen Feng tried calling upon his strength. Fortunately, although Luck Aura¡¯s effect had been nullified, it had still worked within his body. As such, he hadn¡¯t received much effect from the power of time. At the same time, this also meant that Luo Yuan had likely been able to maintain his strength.

    Chen Feng¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°Luo Yuan. Was this your goal?¡± First, push this world to destruction, then reset it. Now, this world was no longer under Chen Feng¡¯s control. With its transformation, this world had be even stronger and was now capable of enduring impacts from powerful gods. As for Luo Yuan, he was intending to kill each and every person on Chen Feng¡¯s side.

    At a certain location within this world, a bolt of lightning shed past. Illuminated by the radiance of this lightning was the nearby Luo Yuan.

    ¡°It has begun.¡± Luo Yuan had a calm expression. Under his control, both Luck Auras had canceled each other out. Nevertheless, neither he nor Chen Feng had been affected much by the power of time. With this, he would have an easier time reaping his harvest. As for the 1,000-plus gods he had brought with him, regardless of their strength, they were fully under his control.

    A certain huge person appeared. ¡°Lord.¡± This was a minor god that had just broken through under Luo Yuan. He was so weak that it was pitiful. However, his unique ability set was a rather remarkable one. Now, affected by the power of time, he had sessfully be a major god. Boundless godly power filled his body.

    Luo Yuan was very satisfied with this development. ¡°Excellent. Well then, time to start the hunt,¡± Luo Yuan said sinisterly. He and his 1,000 gods would be the hunters.

    The subordinate was somewhat anxious. ¡°Those of The Crystal Pce...¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Luo Yuan smiled. ¡°With the power of time¡¯s transformation, this world has been reset. At present, Ming Yue and Shen Wang... Everyone originally of this world is in the void. Due to the power of time, they might be reduced into nothingness at any time. Therefore, before this transformationpletes, they will remain in the void to await their fate, unable to appear in this world. Just make sure to end the battle before that,¡± Luo Yuan said emotionlessly.

    ¡°Yes.¡± The gods obeyed. Before them, each inch of this world was shining. Even more astonishingly, silhouettes of familiar-looking people asionally flit past.

    ¡°That silhouette... seems to be that person called Kong Bai?¡± a god guessed.

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    They exchanged nces before trailing after Kong Bai. The so-called destruction of the world was in fact targeted at Chen Feng¡¯s side. Beforeing into this world, those on Luo Yuan¡¯s side had naturally made some preparations so as to not be weakened by the time chaos. After all, this power of time had merely rippled out randomly instead of being manually controlled by Wang Yao.

    Therefore, they had been able to somewhat resist the effects of the time chaos. However, there was one caveat to this. If they encountered a time effect that was flowing forward, their resistance would be disabled. Only when time flowed backward would what they had prepared resisted the power of time, lessening the effects on them.

    Naturally, there was a limit to this. A good example was a rather unlucky god that encountered a terrifying time flow that directly reversed 1,000 years worth of time. Despite his prepared resistance, that god had still been directly reduced to nothingness. After all, he had been directly reversed to a time prior even to his conception in his mother¡¯s womb. In such a condition, how could he have been saved?

    However, that was an exception. Therge majority of these gods still maintained their peakbat power. Their targets were Chen Feng and his friends. After killing them, Luo Yuan would gain control over the world, bing a supreme existence.

    ¡°Huh, look over there.¡±

    ¡°There seems to be someone there.¡±

    ¡°He doesn¡¯t look like one of us. In fact, he resembles that Xu Fei.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Yet another bunch of gods set forth. In numerous parts of this world, the instant they caught a glimpse of Chen Feng or his friends, they began cautiously trailing whomever they had seen. Their goal was the elimination of these people.

    ¡°There¡¯s someone there as well.¡±

    ¡°Could that be Chen Feng?¡±

    ¡°If it is Chen Feng, remember to report it. We are definitely not his match. Let our lord deal with him.¡±

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    ¡°No, not Chen Feng. He looks like Qin Hai?¡±

    ¡°Follow him!¡±

    One by one, Chen Feng¡¯s friends were found.

    ¡°Look for a chance to make a move. Don¡¯t leave anyone alive,¡± said an emotionless voice.

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    ...

    In the corner of a certain time barrier, a certain person was crouching and staring ahead nkly. He was evidently still shocked by this transformation. From what he was wearing, it was evident that this person was precisely Kong Bai.

    ¡°Is it him?¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± a god confirmed.

    This alien world wasn¡¯t particrly big. Even though everyone had been scattered everywhere, more than 10 gods had ended up being washed into this region alone. After confirming their coordinates with their wristbands, they had begun their hunt. This time, their target was Kong Bai, whom they had discovered.

    ¡°So what how strong are you guys now?¡± a god asked.

    ¡°I am at a journeyman god.¡±

    ¡°Same.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve grown somewhat and am now a journeyman god as well.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve be a major god,¡± a certain god announced proudly.

    He was one of the lucky gods that had encountered a power of time that was flowing forward.

    ¡°Well, you will be the captain for this mission then.¡±

    ¡°All right.¡±

    Cautiously, they began to approach Kong Bai. Kong Bai had seemingly not noticed them. No, rather, he seemed to be ignoring everything. Since the moment he had appeared here, he had been in this nked state. His back was against them as he nkly stared at something. They had no idea what was going on in his brain at the moment.

    The major god sneered. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter what he¡¯s thinking about.¡± They knew of Kong Bai. He seemed to have been quite weak originally. Even if he had luckily encountered a power of time that was flowing forward, he still wouldn¡¯t be that strong. After all, if the power of time he had encountered had been too powerful, the shockwave itself would have been sufficient to kill him. After all, 50 years and 500 years were two entirely different concepts.

    The major god told the other gods to charge forth. ¡°Go!¡±

    Bang!

    Countless powerful attacks erupted. Although they didn¡¯t think that Kong Bai could do anything against them, they still attacked with all their might, aiming to end this mission as soon as possible. Right at this instant, Kong Bai seemed to finally notice the godly power fluctuations behind him as he slowly turned his head around. The gods were immediately rmed, as that face... wasn¡¯t Kong Bai¡¯s!

    This face horrified all the gods present. Kong Bai, who had already been ugly, seemed to have experienced something unknown in the endless river of time. At present, his face was filled with wrinkles and creases. Moreover, on his skin were numerous dark spots that only the elderly had. Kong Bai¡¯s current appearance sessfully shocked even the gods, who had seen numerous life-forms.

    So this was an aged Kong Bai! Even more terrifying were his eyes. His originally lively and bright eyes seemed to have been affected as well. Numerous brown spots could be seen in his eyes, giving off quite a horrifying look.

    The major god was somewhat shocked. ¡°This...¡±

    A hoarse voice waffled out of Kong Bai¡¯s mouth. ¡°Can I ask you a question? Who¡¯s the most handsome man?¡±

    <h4>Chapter 859: Pursuit</h4>

    The gods fired their godly power at Kong Bai. However, everything suddenly vanished. Only that question was left lingering in the air: ¡°Who¡¯s the most handsome man?¡± Curse it! The gods were all horrified. After all, this group wasprised of one major god and nine journeyman gods. Theirbined strength was unimaginable. However, even with their strength, theirbined attack had been erased by this single seemingly stupid question from Kong Bai?

    Why? This fellow... Fear filled their eyes.

    ¡°Answer me. Who¡¯s the most handsome man?¡± As he asked this question, a stiff smile took shape on Kong Bai¡¯s face. He was seemingly trying to make himself look kinder, yet when the creases on his face piled together due to the forced smile, he instead looked even scarier.

    One of the gods had an ominous feeling and wanted to retreat. ¡°Go!¡±

    Kong Bai¡¯s expression became sinister. ¡°Wrong answer.¡±

    Bang!

    A beam of light shot out of his eyes, instantly disintegrating that god.

    The other gods: ¡°???¡±

    What in the world was this? Titanium beams? Apart from some unique existences with powerful eyes, someone killing someone else with their eyes was extremely rare. How could this Kong Bai fellow...

    ¡°Answer me.¡± Kong Bai¡¯s gaze rested on one of them. ¡°Who¡¯s the most handsome man?¡±

    ¡°You. It¡¯s you,¡± the trembling god answered.

    Shua!

    The entire worldpsed into silence. Even Kong Bai stopped talking. He didn¡¯t attack either. Was that the correct answer? That god was overjoyed when he noticed this. s, before he could revel in his joy, a beam of light appeared and punched straight through him. Before his death, Kong Bai¡¯s emotionless voice waffled into his ears.

    ¡°A lie.¡±

    The other gods were all dumbstruck. What was this? Ignoring him would result in death. Answering him would still result in death, as he would assume it was a lie. What the hell? How were they supposed to answer this question, then?

    Kong Bai¡¯s gaze came to rest on yet another god. ¡°Answer me. Who¡¯s the most handsome man?¡±

    That god gulped. ¡°Me...¡± Since saying the most handsome man was Kong Bai wouldn¡¯t work, he might as well try saying it was him.

    Bang!

    With a sh, he was reduced to ash.

    Kong Bai¡¯s cold and hoarse voice drifted past. ¡°Are you not ashamed of saying that, with that face of yours?¡±

    Once again, the entire worldpsed into silence. The remaining gods began to sweat profusely. This Kong Bai... was truly very scary.

    Kong Bai seemed to have been overexposed to time, to the point that his consciousness was now hazy. From the look of his face, he seemed to have experienced many years, to the point that his strength had be this terrifying. At this time, Kong Bai¡¯s gazended on another god.

    ¡°Answer me. Who¡¯s the most handsome man?¡±

    The questioned god felt a chill go up his spine. Was he going to die now? How should he answer this? Heavens, a question like this... This did not seem like a question with a proper answer, right? Who was that ¡°most handsome man¡±? Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.

    ¡°He is...¡±

    He was just about to yell the name out. s, before he could answer, he was reduced to ash by yet another sh.

    Kong Bai¡¯s cold voice resounded. ¡°Hesitating to answer such a question? Ignorant.¡±

    The remaining gods were all dumbfounded. An... another death? Heavens! What exactly did this guy want? Perhaps, he merely intended to slowly torture and kill everyone here? No, that did not seem to be the case. His consciousness seemed to have truly gone hazy.

    Kong Bai¡¯s gazended on the weakest god in this group. ¡°Answer me. Who¡¯s the most handsome man?¡±

    ¡°...¡±

    That god paused slightly, then recalled the earlier god¡¯s death. Immediately, he howled, ¡°Kong Bai! Kong Bai is the most handsome man!¡±

    This short sentence was yelled so loudly that even a deaf person could hear it. The nearby gods all felt their ears going deaf from the loud shout.

    ¡°...¡± Kong Bai regarded this god with his nk eyes. Just as everyone thought that this god was about to die as well, Kong Bai¡¯s head nodded suddenly. An expression of approval appeared on his face. ¡°Indeed. Kong Bai is the most handsome man. Hehe. Even if I have forgotten many things... I still remember that he is the most handsome man.¡±

    This old Kong Bai seemed to be extremely satisfied. Thus, he nodded his head approvingly before turning around and leaving. The remaining gods were all sweating profusely. Their legs were limp from the fear. So they had survived? What they had just experienced was something... that could not be exined with words. At this time, some of them looked at the departing Kong Bai. His elderly figure was somewhat stooped. From his body, a familiar power could be felt. Right, it was precisely the power of that damnable mirror.

    ¡°What happened to him?¡±

    ¡°No idea.¡±

    ¡°Why did that mirror fuse with him?¡±

    ¡°...¡±

    Nobody knew what had happened to Kong Bai. However, it was at this moment that these gods had a feeling, like the hunt this time wouldn¡¯t progress as smoothly as they had expected. Something like this had happened to Kong Bai. What about the other targets? The gods wondered, were they still the hunters? Why did they feel like the roles had been reversed?

    ¡°Contact our lord. This Kong Bai is not someone we can handle.¡±

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    ...

    At a different location, a group of gods was advancing cautiously. Suddenly, one of them stopped the others. ¡°Halt.¡±

    Why? The other gods looked at him questioningly.

    ¡°This ce...¡± That god looked at the region before them, which was filled with swirling light. He paused momentarily before looking at the god beside him. ¡°I seem to recall that your flesh is capable of unlimited regeneration, right?¡±

    That god nodded. ¡°Yeah. Why¡ª¡±

    Shua!

    Instantly, his arm was severed from his body. This was followed by a miserable scream from him. Next, the other god tossed the cut arm into the region of swirling lights. At a speed visible to the naked eye, the arm instantly withered, began desating, and ultimately transformed into nothingness.

    ¡°Look. The flow of time here is a hundred times faster than normal. Entering might result in death,¡± that god said with a calm expression.

    However, the god whose limb had been severed was currently extremely angry. ¡°I don¡¯t care. You are the scout. If you need something, say it and we will cooperate. Why did you cut my arm off?¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± That god paused, then looking at them doubtfully. ¡°Will you guys trust me if I say it out loud?¡±

    ¡°Of course. After all, you are a scout whose abilities specialize in detection,¡± the remaining gods answered doubtfully.

    ¡°Oh.¡± That god seemed toe to a sudden realization. ¡°Sorry. I have never worked with other gods before. I only did that to increase my persuasiveness. Next time, I will take note of my actions.¡±

    The now one-armed god stared at him, stupefied.

    ¡°Shh!¡± After taking a detour around that region, the scout suddenly told everyone to keep quiet. Distantly, the figure that they had been trailing had finally stopped moving. He seemed to be looking for something. He stood on the shore of ake, his gaze stalled on the water below him. He was staring at the glittering water, seemingly hesitating about something. The gods behind him increased their vignce. Suddenly, that figure stripped naked. He continued to intently stare at the water below him for a long time before suddenly proudly saying, ¡°Indeed. It has grownrger.¡±

    The gods behind him: ¡°???¡±

 Chapter 860 - Perfect Body

    <h4>Chapter 860: Perfect Body</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    ¡°This beautiful body. Tsk tsk tsk.¡± In an extremely narcissist way, that person felt his own body while endlesslymenting, ¡°Look at this chest, look at these abdominal muscles, look at this waist, look at this...¡±

    Was he crazy? The gods felt powerless when they saw this. So this fellow had walked this far just to find somewhere with water with which to worship his own body? Hehe.

    ¡°Has his identity been confirmed?¡±

    ¡°Yes. He is Xu Fei, a person with an extremely powerful fleshy body.¡±

    ¡°Hehe, can he be more powerful than a god?¡±

    ¡°True.¡±

    ¡°Since his identity has already been confirmed, it is time to deal with him.¡±

    They couldn¡¯t stand watching that fellow¡¯s narcissist actions. After exchanging nces, powerful godly power erupted as their attacks headed toward Xu Fei.

    Before Xu Fei could even react, he was hit by the attacks.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Numerous godly power¨Cinduced explosions appeared. The terrifying power had sted apart even the nearbyke. Xu Fei waspletely submerged in the flood of attacks. Where he had stood, a huge crater, several dozen meters deep, had been created. Their attacks had transformed even the topography of this ce. The various gods watched on coldly. Just as they were about to conclude that their mission was a sess, a single hand suddenly reached out from the crater. As the gods saw this, their pupils shrank.

    There, a frail-looking person slowly crawled out of the crater.

    ¡°This fellow...¡±

    They had an ominous feeling. That had not been enough to kill him? Let alone dead, he wasn¡¯t hurt in the slightest. This fellow... had resisted the bombardment of a bunch of gods with his flesh alone.

    ¡°Go!¡± howled the leader of this group of gods. Nobody was stupid enough to continue fighting in this situation. The earlier attack had already been extremely powerful, created by them joining hands. If even such intense godly power couldn¡¯t harm Xu Fei, killing him was impossible.

    Therefore, they decided to retreat without the slightest hesitation. s, it was toote.

    Pu!

    With a red sh, a figure streaked past. Xu Fei erupted with extremely horrifying speed and streaked everywhere. Each time he was seen, a god died, blood sttering about.

    Bang!

    Finally, thest god fell. An indignant look was left in his eyes, which were still wide open. He could not understand this. Xu Fei... How had that weakling be so powerful? After all, he was obviously a regr human, a person who was supposed to be incapable of breaking through...

    How...

    Plop.

    The final godnded on the ground, dead.

    ¡°Weaklings.¡± Xu Fei curled his lips. He began to sense the power he now had. In short, before, he had only been immune to energy, whereas at present, he was immune to even godly power? This feeling... His body felt weird now. His rise had been an odd one. Turtles, dragons, and all those weird things he had experienced. Now, with the baptism of time, his body had gained this odd constitution, which he himself couldn¡¯t exin clearly.

    The power of time was extremely powerful. However, what they had experienced was merely a portion of what had leaked out of Wang Yao¡¯s ce. Moreover, this little amount of leaked power had been spread all over this world. Therefore, when it hadnded on living beings¡¯ bodies, the effects hadn¡¯t been as powerful as the pure power of time would be.

    Thanks to Xu Fei¡¯s immunity, the effect of the power of time on him had been halved as well. Therefore, what should have been enough to directly cause Xu Fei to die of old age had been shortened. He had only experienced 10,000 years. This had allowed his odd flesh to go through a millennium¡¯s worth of evolution.

    That¡¯s right, a millennium. This surpassed the life span of many life-forms. Yet for Xu Fei, who had inherited the bloodlines of a dragon and of a turtle, he had merely somewhat honed his flesh. After all, such as dragons, which possessed formidable flesh, had always been existences that grew strong with the passage of time.

    Therefore, Xu Fei had reachedpletion in his cultivation just like that. Based on what the little turtle had told him previously, if the day came when his cultivation reachedpletion, his strength should be...

    Bang!

    Xu Fei punched at the ground beneath him. The firm and substantial soil, which had be even stronger after this world¡¯s transformation, couldn¡¯t even take a single punch from Xu Fei. A huge crater was instantly created. A true god!

    Xu Fei howled withughter. ¡°Hahahaha.¡± <i>Luo Yuan, did you ever imagine that this would happen instead? I am now as strong as a true god! Luo Yuan, wash your rear and wait for me!</i>

    Xu Fei was immensely satisfied as he continued praising his still-naked body. Even when he was praising his little brother down there, his head was still held high and his chest was still puffed out. All his feelings were being wantonly let out.

    ¡°From now on, I will be the hunter.¡±

    ...

    At a different location, a certain god had just appeared.

    An rmed expression appeared on the 30-plus gods around him. None of them dared to get near him. That was because this god had be extremely powerful after being hit by the power of time. He was nowparable to a true god. After all, there had to be some lucky ones among Luo Yuan¡¯s subordinates.

    ¡°You all,e with me,¡± he said. The gods in this area had discovered a target as well. He would now personally go to deal with that target.

    The gods epted hismand. ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°That fellow is called Qin Hai. It is said that he is Chen Feng¡¯s best friend.¡±

    ¡°Mhm.¡±

    ¡°Based on that minor god¡¯s introduction, Qin Hai¡¯s time was reversed after he was hit by the power of time. He is now a little child with nearly zero strength.¡±

    ¡°Excellent.¡±

    The gods were very pleased when they heard this. With this, there would be no mistakes. After reaching the location, they could indeed see a child. This child appeared rather tender and unfamiliar. However, he did indeed resemble Qin Hai somewhat. This Qin Hai fellow, who was one of the stronger members of Chen Feng¡¯s group of friends, had actually been transformed into a child!

    ¡°It is indeed him.¡±

    The gods were delighted. ¡°Kill him.¡±

    Shua!

    They pressed forward toward that child. s, right at this instant, that child turned around and nced at them. Suddenly, the child shook his head and stepped forward.

    Just as the gods were about to chase after him, their leader stopped them. ¡°Wait!¡±

    ¡°That ce...¡± That god pointed at where the child now stood. They could see that a faint radiance was flickering there. The flow of time seemed to be changing constantly.

    ¡°That is a region where the flow of time changes, an extremely dangerous ce.¡±

    The various gods were rmed. Even though they were gods, they still wouldn¡¯t dare to carelessly enter such an area.

    Shua!

    After giving them onest nce, the child stepped deeper into that area. At a speed visible to the naked eye, his body began growing again.

    One could vaguely see that a sword was held in the child¡¯s hand. He seemed to be... doing something?

    Suddenly, one god understood. ¡°He is cultivating!¡±

    This person called Qin Hai was actually making use of this region of flowing time to cultivate.

    The gods dared not believe this. ¡°Is he not afraid that this will be the cause of his death?¡±

    That was an area that even they did not dare to enter. After all, that was a ce where the flow of time would forever be unknown. Moreover, a situation might even arise where different parts of one¡¯s body experienced the flow of time in different directions. Therefore, none of the gods dared to enter that area. That person called Qin Hai seemed to be gambling...

    ¡°Focus on him. I refuse to believe that he can survive this.¡± Their leader did not believe that Qin Hai could survive this. After all, the flow of time in this area seemed to be extremely long. Could Qin Hai truly reach the end? At this rate, he would most certainly die of old age before he reached the end. This was the opinion of all the gods here. Thus, they all focused their attention on Qin Hai, who was within the region of flowing time. They watched as he walked forth one step at a time. With each step he took, he grew older. Soon, he was already a youth.

    Youth...

    Middle age...

    Old age...

    With each step he took, he grew older by a year. Now, he had actually walked to his old age. His expression appeared much older now. His body was no longer tall and straight, instead stooping down at a speed visible to the naked eyes. Despite that, he still maintained the same posture and was still holding the sword. The sword had never moved either. Just like that, he walked through the region of flowing time, reaching the end of his life span. All the gods were shocked when they saw this.

    ¡°What exactly is this fellow trying to do?¡±

 Chapter 861 - Time Kill

    <h4>Chapter 861: Time Kill</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    After a millennium, Qin Hai¡¯s gaze radiated the vicissitudes of life. Only after personally stepping into this area did he realize how fast the flow of time was. Even his consciousness, which had undergone a transformation, couldn¡¯t leave this ce. Duma was extremely familiar with thews of time. Therefore, Duma had once altered Qin Hai¡¯s consciousness, allowing him to survive from ancient times until the present era, bing the leader of the Mysterious Organization.

    Qin Hai had a certain amount of immunity to the power of time. That was why the reversed time flow hadn¡¯t erased him from existence. After his time was reversed many years into the past, his change had ultimately stopped at the child stage. At moment, Qin Hai hade up with his very own unique n.

    He wanted to cultivate, to cultivate using this region of flowing time. Only this would allow him to tread a path unique to him alone. He was someone who had once been crippled. This had always remained his biggest regret. Even though he had gone back in time and used a unique method to eventually be an expert, it hadn¡¯t been the perfect solution to his problem. Due to him being crippled, his potential had be extremely poor. Therefore, he had slowly been overtaken by Chen Feng.

    He, too, had once been one of the chosen, a proud son pampered by the heavens. Yet now, Chen Feng had far surpassed him, to the point that he wasn¡¯t even qualified to look up to Chen Feng anymore. This was a pain he had been hiding in the depths of his heart. He had a love for swords, yet due to the circumstances surrounding his body, he could not walk the path of the sword.

    Now, he was given a new start. Bringing him back to his youth, the reversed time flow had granted him the perfect opportunity. The little degree of time immunity he possessed had preserved his sense of self. The only change aspect of him that time had been able to alter was his physical body. A body brimming with potential was returned to him.

    Therefore, Qin Hai had taken the initiative to enter the terrifying region of flowing time. Equipped with a sword in his hand and a cultivation manual in his heart, he had begun to walk forward, one step at a time. From a child, he reached old age. Eventually, his body began to wither, yet his sword was still as resplendent as ever. He was holding the sword up. With his life, the sword was held up.

    ¡°Chen Feng. I will not allow you to leave me behind. I, Qin Hai, am not willing to keep being baggage.¡±

    His crooked body was host to a pair of resolute eyes. Finally, he walked out of the region of flowing time.

    After a millennium, even his body, which was somewhat immune to the power of time, appeared to be on the verge of copse. His body was extremely withered, yet his eyes were shining resplendently. Sword in hand, he strode forth one step at a time. At this time, the gods were still watching. This result had somewhat surpassed their expectations. After all, the flow of time in that region was obviously somewhat abnormal. Why had the flowing time not erased Qin Hai? With such fast-flowing time, Qin Hai was still alive? That was inconceivable.

    ¡°I thought the humans only had a life span of several hundred years?¡±

    ¡°That is correct.¡±

    ¡°But... since he is still alive, are we going to let him go just like that?¡±

    They looked at their leader. Let Qin Hai go? That was not possible. There were so many of them here, so how could they allow a mere mortal to leave just like this? This was especially true since they had encountered a mere child, and even now, their target was but an old man.

    ¡°If Qin Hai can survive that region, the same should apply to us. Kill him!¡± the leader said, a cold gleam in his eyes.

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    Shua!

    With a sh, a certain god took the lead and stepped into the region of flowing time. However, the instant he entered, his face fell. The speed time was flowing at here was...

    Shua!

    The same expression appeared on the other gods¡¯ faces. Time was flowing so fast here that it was terrifying.

    The various gods were horrified.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    ¡°If it was truly this speed, how did Qin Hai survive?¡±

    ¡°The time flow is definitely different across this region,¡± a god concluded. ¡°If even a mortal like Qin Hai can survive this ce, what is there to fear for us? Look at the swirling radiance in this region. Each radiance is different. Therefore, the flow of time should be different as well. Don¡¯t hesitate here. As we continue forward, the speed time is flowing at will surely decrease.¡±

    At this time, a certain god stepped forward. Instantly, an expression of joy appeared on his face. ¡°Time is indeed flowing more slowly here.¡±

    ¡°Sure enough.¡±

    The various gods exchanged nces. In this region, time was indeed flowing at varying speeds.

    Since that was the case, they no longer needed to be anxious.

    They exchanged nces and made up their minds.

    ¡°Charge forth and capture Qin Hai.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±

    Shua!

    The gods charged forth, each of them transforming into a streak. They moved as fast as lightning. They were all gods, after all; how fast could they move? Unimaginably fast. s, as they moved like lightning, the instant they reached the deepest part of the region, horror appeared on their faces. The flow of time here... After charging forth, the flow of time only decreased slightly before intensifying many times over.

    The flow of time here was ten times greater than in the starting area. Their strength grew multiple times over. s, the same expression of horror was still on their faces.

    ¡°This is bad!¡±

    ¡°This godly power...¡±

    ¡°Damn it. The flow is too fast.¡±

    ¡°Retreat?¡±

    ¡°Are you trying to die? If we retreat now, the flow of time will be further amplified. Our only option is to continue charging forth. Since Qin Hai could survive this, it means that forward, time will flow backward.¡±

    ¡°Yes, that must be the case.¡±

    They were filled with anticipation. As such, they could only continue on, since they had no other option anyway. Retreating would only result in their death. They had to continue forward, just like Qin Hai. After all, even Qin Hai, the mortal, had survived this, so what about them, the gods?

    Shua! Shua!

    Numerous figures streaked toward Qin Hai. However, what happened waspletely different from what they¡¯d expected. The flow of time was still intensifying. It became stronger and stronger, and the speed they were moving at be faster and faster. This rate of growth was so great that they despaired.

    Swish! Swish!

    Their speed was still increasing. With the increase in their strength, this increased speed was out of their control. They could only stare nkly as they neared Qin Hai as their physical bodies continued to age without stop. Finally, their bodies began to wither.

    Ultimately, they transformed into nothingness. Each of the rapid streaks of light transformed into nothingness just as they were about to leave this region of flowing time. They all died of old age.

    Before his death, a certain god indignantly howled, ¡°Not possible! I am a god! I have a life span of 7,500 years!¡±

    He truly couldn¡¯t believe that he was to die here.

    ¡°I have a life span of 9,000 years,¡± a different god said with his eyes shut. Indeed, he managed to advance 10 meters more than the other god. These 10 meters were equivalent to 1,500 years.

    Shua! Shua!

    The various streaks transformed into nothingness right as they were about to reach Qin Hai. Each of them was a god. They transformed into countless light particles before dissipating, truly dying, each blooming like fireworks in their moment of death.

    Qin Hai¡¯s mouth curled up into a smile. ¡°How... beautiful.¡±

    The fireworks of gods. Tsk tsk. What a sight to behold. He smiled. His figure appeared even more crooked now. With some difficulty, he stepped forth. The sword in his hand was still shining brightly. Slowly, he walked away.

 Chapter 862 - Hunting Ground

    <h4>Chapter 862: Hunting Ground</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    The Crystal Pce.

    In this bizarre world of time, there were two core areas that hadn¡¯t experienced any changes. Qin Hai was not the only one who was making use of time to cultivate. There were two people who were even better at exploiting time than Qin Hai. These two were Luo Yuan and Chen Feng. With the passing of time in this world, these two were the only ones here capable of utilizing time to perfection.

    Why was that? That was due to the power of luck they both possessed. Although their respective powers of luck counteracted each other, they could still use those powers on themselves. Therefore, they were able to avoid stepping into the time zones capable of killing them. As for Chen Feng, even though he had lost Luck Aura when Spirit separated from him, his new godly power had fused with the power of luck and misfortune. Therefore, he was still able topete against Luo Yuan¡¯s Luck Aura.

    These two were the only ones who were cultivating madly. Luo Yuan¡¯s goal was extremely simple. One of his reasons for destroying and resetting this world was so he could make use of thews of time to cultivate, to be even stronger. Naturally, his other reason was to sever Chen Feng¡¯s escape route.

    That¡¯s right, the moment this world had been transformed, it had be a path of no return. The world of The Crystal Pce could no longer be destroyed using regr methods. Therefore, Luo Yuan no longer needed to worry that he would be eternally banished from his original world through the destruction of this world.

    He had had enough of the days of Chen Feng plotting against him in the dark, of the days where Chen Feng kept hiding from him. This time, he had forced Chen Feng to the foreground. Now, the two of them were on a fair battlefield. Chen Feng no longer had the advantage of having the world of The Crystal Pce as his backup n.

    This was a battle that would end with eitherplete victory orplete defeat. This was Luo Yuan¡¯s death sentence for Chen Feng. This was their decisive final battle.

    What about Chen Feng? He was also cultivating. The destruction of this world had indeed surpassed his expectations. However, since it was already done, he might as well make use of it to cultivate, to grow stronger. As for the others? He had no time to be bothered with them. This was the only chance he had at destroying Luo Yuan.

    If he seeded, everything would return to normal. If he was defeated, everything would end.

    ¡°The final victory shall be mine.¡± Luo Yuan had a resolute gaze. Although this seemed like a stupid action on his part, after studying the method Luck Aura hade up with, he had further perfected it. The 1,000 gods he had brought were precisely his trump card.

    The gods he had brought would also be extremely powerful. Even without being directly hit by the power of time, those gods would surely take this opportunity to cultivate. After all, they all had life spans in the thousands of years. Naturally, they would be better suited than normal humans in this world of time.

    Those gods would end up extremely powerful and would serve as his trump card. What about Chen Feng? Hehe. In this situation, with the original inhabitants of this world sealed in the void, with the small number of people Chen Feng had on his side, they wouldn¡¯t be able to do much. They were nothing but cannon fodder. This was Luo Yuan¡¯s belief.

    ...

    At a certain location, after the initial chaos, the gods reacted quickly to the changes of this world. They all discovered one advantage they held over others: their life spans. As gods, they possess longer life spans. They could absolutely make use of the power of time to grow to their utmost limit.

    And thus, the gods began to enter a region of flowing time one after another. Some of them were able to reach the major-god stage, and some even reached the peak of the major-god stage. Each of the initially weak gods was now extremely powerful. Just as Luo Yuan had guessed, they all thirsted for strength as well.

    ¡°Haha. Turns out even I am capable of bing a major god. Unfortunately, this is my limit. Entering the true-god stage depends on one¡¯sprehension and numerous factors. The passage of time alone will not help in this.¡±

    ¡°Same here.¡±

    Some of them that had reached the peak major-god stage began to leave the region of flowing time. Naturally, there were also some whose progress stopped after reaching the journeyman-god stage. Even after exhausting 1,000 years of their life span, they were still the weaklings they had been before. Time passed. When the gods left the region of flowing time, it was as brand new versions of themselves.

    ¡°Haha. Where are the damnable humans?¡±

    ¡°Come, let us do battle!¡±

    The gods were brimming with confidence. And thus, at a certain ce with a body of water, they found Xu Fei.

    ¡°Look, a human.¡±

    ¡°Haha, finally, we found this damnable prey.¡±

    They charged forth in excitement.

    Bang!

    Xu Fei hurled a simple fist out. Instantly, a major god was pierced through by that punch. As the other gods excitedly charging forth saw this, they immediately stopped. With horror on their faces, they stole a nce at Xu Fei before they trembling all over. Immediately, they turned around and began to flee.

    ¡°Damn it. What damnable strength is that?¡±

    ¡°Why is this Xu Fei fellow so scary?¡±

    They were filled with fear. s, none of them knew the answer. When Xu Fei came charging at them, only a small number of them were able to flee alive. In a different location, a group of gods had encountered Kong Bai.

    The group of major gods provoked Kong Bai arrogantly. ¡°Hey, ugly.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Kong Bai¡¯s head turned around, revealing his aged face to them. Within his eyes was boundless red. After a short while, the aged figure that was Kong Bai left, leaving behind an area drenched in blood. On the ground were numerous corpses with countless holes in them.

    ...

    ¡°How is this possible...¡±

    The few gods who had been able to escape were filled with fear. Kong Bai! That elderly Kong Bai had been so powerful as well! And thus, the various gods gathered together. The joy from their breakthroughs was now gone. Xu Fei had be a true god. Kong Bai had seemingly reached the true-god stage as well. This was the only exnation for their ability to crush two entire groups of major gods. Right at this time, yet another group returned. Different from them, this group was still intact.

    ¡°You guys...¡±

    ¡°We encountered Qin Hai, the elderly Qin Hai.¡± That group of gods was ashamed. ¡°He held a sword in his hand. He never even attacked. Merely his act of picking up the sword was sufficient to give us a feeling of death. He is too terrifying. Therefore, we left and returned here.¡±

    They were all ashamed of themselves, as they hadn¡¯t had the courage to even fight. In short, they had been scared off.

    ¡°Oh. It¡¯s not that we were scared of him. However, we are of the opinion that Qin Hai is quite strong now. We decided that it is better to return with more reinforcements,¡± they said awkwardly. After that, they looked at the other gods and asked, ¡°Hey, why are there so few of you guys here?¡±

    The other gods all sank into silence. In short, running away was actually the correct choice?

    The other gods sighed when they saw this still-intact group. ¡°You did the right thing. It looks like even Qin Hai has reached the level of a true god. These people are no longer existences we can deal with.¡±

    They had unsightly expressions. Those feeble humans were actually better than them at exploiting this world? They could not ept this.

    ¡°What should we do, then?¡± they asked with a nk look.

    ¡°Try to hide from the humans to the best of our ability. If anyone is unlucky enough to meet one, just run with everything you have,¡± the leader said with a bitter smile.

    ¡°...¡±

    The other gods trembled. This was the only thing they could do. It turned out that they had transformed from hunters to prey. The almighty gods were now the prey of some humans! How sad!

    A certain god was unwilling to ept this. ¡°I won¡¯t run!¡± This was too shameful.

    Suddenly, a voice drifted over. ¡°Are you sure?¡±

    ¡°Of course,¡± that god answered confidently. ¡°I am a major god! I¡ª¡± Suddenly, he noticed that all the gods around him had horrified expressions on their faces. Only now did he realize that the voice that had asked him that question earlier... did not seem... right? He raised his head abruptly. With horror, he found that Xu Fei was there!

    ¡°You... How is it possible for you to be here?¡± Fear was stered all over his face.

    Xu Fei had a wide smile on his face. ¡°Why else did I allow you all to escape? Naturally, it was for the sake of dealing with you all in one swoop after you all gathered.¡±

    ¡°Damn it!¡±

    The faces of the gods fell. Flee! With a roar, the gods scattered everywhere.

    Swish! Swish! Swish!

    Streaks of light shed about, followed by miserable screams from the various gods. As of this moment, the gods were but prey.

 Chapter 863 - Random Swordplay

    <h4>Chapter 863: Random Swordy</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    The gods were all shocked. The few gods that had escaped had learned of Xu Fei and the others¡¯ strength. Now, the gods could only hide from them. After all, they were now facing three people at the level of true gods. With this, the eight major gods began to flee everywhere, looking quite sorry. Gradually, they managed to understand the characteristics of those three.

    They found out that the fellow called Xu Fei enjoyed going to ces with bodies of water so as to gaze at his own body. Therefore, so long as they avoided areas with water, they wouldn¡¯t encounter him. Thus, the gods running around aimlessly were no longer willing to approach areas with water. Everyone headed deeper into the continent.

    They also found out that the fellow called Kong Bai wandered around randomly. The moment he saw someone, he would ask those he met who the most handsome man was. At that time, the person in question would have to give the correct answer: ¡°Kong Bai is the most handsome man.¡± That guy seemed to have forgotten his own name, yet he still held stubbornly to this belief he used to have. Therefore, so long as they provided the correct answer, they would normally be able to survive any encounters with Kong Bai¡¯s.

    Naturally, this did not apply to gods that were too handsome. There was a case where a certain handsome god was sneered at and killed immediately after that god told Kong Bai that he, Kong Bai, was the most handsome. Afterward, when any handsome gods were unlucky enough to meet Kong Bai, the first thing they did was disfigure themselves. Moreover, they had to do it for real, as they wouldn¡¯t be able to trick Kong Bai otherwise. This was the only way to preserve their lives.

    ¡°I am the ugliest! Kong Bai is the most handsome!¡±

    These were the words those gods normally used. Hearing this, the elderly Kong Bai would leave, satisfied. As for the handsome god that had just disfigured himself, his heart ached so badly that it was suffocating. Having to do this just to survive was the ultimate shame for him. However, what could he do about it?

    After Kong Bai¡¯s departure, a god came over to help the disfigured god. ¡°Are you fine?¡±

    That god sighed. ¡°Yes. However, I don¡¯t think my face will ever recover.¡±

    ¡°There was no need for that anyway,¡± the other god said. ¡°After all, your looks were quite average at best.¡±

    The disfigured god sighed. ¡°How could I be sure, though? Previously, a god with rather average looks was killed by Kong Bai. That was the moment I realized that even us with average looks are much better looking than Kong Bai. Therefore, disfiguring ourselves is the only solution,¡± he said painfully.

    As the other god heard this, he was instantly horrified. So it had reached this point? The god heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Luckily, he did not notice me.¡± He prepared to leave with the disfigured god. The moment he turned around, he saw a lone figure standing there.

    ¡°Hey... Who is the most handsome man in this world?¡±

    Shua!

    That god began to drip wet with sweat. He had actually encountered this fellow for real! It was over!

    ...

    Compared to Xu Fei and Kong Bai, Qin Hai should be the safest one to encounter. He seemed to still be busy cultivating. So long as one didn¡¯t disturb him, he wouldn¡¯t kill them. After all, it was quite clear for everyone to see that boundless might had gathered in that sword of his. That was a result of a lifetime of cultivation. Therefore, nobody dared to give his sword a try.

    After all, when holding that sword in hand, Qin Hai¡¯s aura alone was sufficient to kill. That was too terrifying, too rming. They knew that Qin Hai¡¯s strength must definitely be above the other two. He was the scariest person here, yet as far as they were concerned, Qin Hai was the also safest person to encounter.

    ¡°Be careful. So long as we hide, it will be fine.¡±

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    The gods were all cautious.

    ¡°So only those three are left among all of Chen Feng¡¯s people?¡±

    ¡°I think so.¡±

    ¡°But based on the information we had, there are more than three on Chen Feng¡¯s side, right?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not sure either. Perhaps some of them were unlucky and were directly killed by time.¡±

    ¡°Probably.¡±

    They nodded. In their memories, the youngest of Chen Feng¡¯s group was a person called Wu Hui. If he had been unlucky enough to encounter a reversed time flow for several decades, and if he didn¡¯t have any kind of immunity toward time, he might very well have died from that.

    ¡°I guess there¡¯s really only the three of them left. Be careful. At the very least, we have tost until Lord Luo Yuan emerges from his cultivation.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, so long as Lord Luo Yuan emerges, we will be able to survive this.¡±

    Their hearts were already filled with fear by this point. Right at this instant, a figure appeared in the distance. Their faces fell.

    ¡°Someone ising.¡±

    ¡°Damn it. Run!¡±

    ¡°We can¡¯t run. The faster you move, the faster that bastard Xu Fei¡¯s pursuit will be. I heard that he inherited bloodlines from a turtle and a dragon. Damn it, this is the first time I have seen a turtle run so fast.¡±

    ¡°...¡±

    A certain god suddenly said seriously, ¡°Turtles can truly run fast.¡±

    Everyone was rendered speechless. However, at this time, nobody bothered to spare any effort to respond to him. After gulping, everyone stared vigntly at the distant figure and prayed in their hearts that this person was Qin Hai. They would only survive if this was Qin Hai. After all, they would have to disfigure themselves if they encountered Kong Bai. If they encountered Xu Fei, death would be certain. Qin Hai was the only one they could survive.

    <i>Please be Qin Hai! </i>the gods prayed. When they finally got a good look at that figure, they heaved sighs of relief. There they could see the elderly figure of Qin Hai. He still looked as solemn as ever, and a sword was still held in his hand. Step by step, he walked in a certain direction.

    ¡°Excellent!¡± The gods were all secretly delighted. They had managed to avoid disaster.

    ¡°Fast, move out of the way. Do not obstruct Qin Hai¡¯s way,¡± a god said. Nobody was willing to be the cannon fodder that was killed by Qin Hai.

    Suddenly, a god asked, ¡°Is Qin Hai really that strong? Is it possible that he only looks scary?¡±

    After all, they had been tricked way too many times by the humans. Therefore, they began to suspect whether this Qin Hai only looked scared. After all, if he was truly that strong, why hadn¡¯t he begun killing them?

    ¡°Shut up,¡± a different god said. ¡°If you have a death wish, don¡¯t drag the others down with you. Have you forgotten about Kong Bai and Xu Fei? Hehe. Qin Hai is even more intelligent than them and has better innate talent. Moreover, he has always been stronger than them. Now that all three of them have neared the limits of their cultivation, do you truly think that he is a weak person?¡± that god said coldly.

    Instantly, the other godspsed into silence. True, this was Qin Hai. Carefully, everyone moved out of the way and awaited Qin Hai¡¯s departure. s, right at this moment, an indistinct voice suddenly waffled out from Qin Hai.

    Qin Hai¡¯s mouth wasn¡¯t even open, yet his voice somehow managed to travel out. ¡°Almost there... The Divine Sword has been forged. Now, I will have to baptize the sword in blood.¡±

    Bang!

    These simple words sounded like thunder in the ears of the nearby gods. Damn it! They couldn¡¯t be this unlucky, right? Killing? Baptize the sword in blood? These words were acutely heard by them. They exchanged nces. If Qin Hai decided to start killing to give his sword a baptism in blood right here and now...

    <i>Flee! </i>They didn¡¯t hesitate. The gods immediately turned around and began to flee. Right this at moment, they could seemingly see Qin Hai waving the sword he held in his hand.

    The gods¡¯ hearts chilled. ¡°It¡¯s over.¡±

    Pu!

    A single sh swept past. The majority of the gods there were directly cleaved in two. That terrifying power actually instantly killed a group of major gods. Heavens, that was only a single sh.

    ¡°Damn it!¡±

    The few lucky survivors frantically continued to flee. They failed to even notice that a faint smile had formed on Qin Hai¡¯s face. With this, all the gods now knew of the horror known as Qin Hai. He was the strongest of the three! Soon, other gods began to encounter Qin Hai as well. They were so shocked they ran everywhere in disarray. However, Qin Hai seemed toozy to even be bothered with them. He was still immersed in that sword of his. However, there were some unlucky gods that encountered Qin Hai when he required a baptism of blood for his sword. And thus, the gods came to a realization: Qin Hai¡¯s decision to kill or not to kill waspletely random.

 Chapter 864 - Decisive Battle (1)

    <h4>Chapter 864: Decisive Battle (1)</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    Qin Hai seemed to be studying a certain sword art. The moment he figured something out, he would have to kill and baptize his sword in blood. When he was in his studying phase, the gods who encountered him would be the lucky ones. At the thought of this, the hearts of the various gods ached. It seemed like now, Qin Hai was the scariest one of the three. Random acts of killing? What the hell?

    They couldn¡¯t wrap their heads around this. The only thing they knew for sure was that their lives in this world had suddenly be difficult. They only knew that now, the number of encounters with Kong Bai, Xu Fei, and Qin Hai had suddenly increased. It was quite a dramatic increase. It was said that Xu Fei, the water lover, had even appeared in the innernds, where there were few bodies of water.

    This rumor remained unconfirmed, as those who had seen him had all died. Only a certain god survived, a god who had been very far away from Xu Fei at that time. As for Kong Bai, it was said that he had be even weirder. At times, even if the gods disfigured themselves before iming that Kong Bai was the most handsome one, he would still kill them. Nobody knew why this was.

    Nobody knew what he was thinking. However, the gods were helpless. They weren¡¯t his match at all. Suddenly, these three humans had be subjects of mystery. Their actions were truly too weird. Didn¡¯t Xu Fei only kill where there was water? Didn¡¯t Kong Bai only kill based on looks? Wasn¡¯t Qin Hai focused on cultivation? As of this moment, the three had be unfathomable.

    The only thing the various gods knew was that this world was now a terrifying ce. At present, they were nothing like the almighty gods they had once been. They were more like brats longing for their mother¡¯s milk, whining left and right and waiting for Luo Yuan¡¯s reappearance.

    After all, this world was presently too scary for them. For some reason, there were times when two different groups of people returned from twopletely different directions and imed to have both encountered Qin Hai. This further intensified the fear everyone was feeling. The gods that were supposed to be hunters were now trembling in fear. Like this, time passed slowly.

    ...

    At a certain location that was the core of the time flow.

    Luo Yuan, who had been cultivating for an unknown period of time, suddenly opened his eyes. At this instant, a terrifying power seethed within his body. His strength had returned to its peak. The grave injuries he had sustained all those years ago and had failed to heal had finally been healed. Moreover, his strength had increased, reaching a new height. This strength could surpass anybody, apart from the Creation God, including Ye.

    He stood up. ¡°Hehe. I am back.¡± A terrifying might pulsed out of his body. He was the only one who knew exactly how strong he was when he was at his peak. Everything had progressed as he¡¯d nned. He had first destroyed this world before casting this world¡¯s time into chaos. Then he had used the power of time to cultivate, to heal, and to reach the peak of his strength. However, he was aware that Chen Feng had done the same thing. If his guess was correct, Chen Feng should currently be...

    Countless abilities began to operate within him. Soon, Chen Feng¡¯s present strength was deduced: mid-tier true god. Indeed, Chen Feng had simrly moved up a stage. However, he was still too weak.

    A disdainful smile formed on Luo Yuan¡¯s face. ¡°Time to end this.¡± This farce that hadsted several decades should end now.

    Shua!

    He no longer hesitated. He stood up and prepared to charge toward Chen Feng.

    Bang!

    The border he¡¯d set around him for his cultivation dissolved. The moment he did that, he was rmed. Around him were several dozen trembling gods. At present, they looked like beggars, each donning an incredibly sorry look.

    Luo Yuan nked. What was going on with these gods? In his n, shouldn¡¯t they be killing those from Chen Feng¡¯s side? Oh, they should have finished that mission long ago. But their appearance...

    The gods were overjoyed when they saw Luo Yuan. ¡°Lord, you have finally returned.¡± They resembled beggars that had finally had their first full meal after years of hunger.

    Luo Yuan calmed himself. ¡°Yes. Where are the others?¡±

    ¡°Dead,¡± the godsmented, ¡°all dead.¡±

    ¡°Those damnable friends of Chen Feng¡¯s are too scary.¡±

    ¡°Heavens, those three are as scary as the devil...¡±

    ¡°Even with several dozen major gods joining hands, we still couldn¡¯t defeat them...¡±

    The group of godsined endlessly. Their words were disorderly, but Luo Yuan was able to capture the main point. Qin Hai¡¯s group had all became true gods. Not only had they survived, but they had even emerged as true gods! Among Chen Feng¡¯s friends, only that Wu Hui had died. He had identally died when encountering a time wave. As for the other three, they had all survived, be true gods, and ughtered these gods.

    ...

    Luo Yuan sank into silence. True gods! Three true gods! Since when were true gods somon? Even though he was already a peak true god, far surpassing them in strength, this stage was an extremely terrifying stage. Why had the three of them obtained strength matching that of a true god? Luo Yuan couldn¡¯t wrap his head around this.

    However, he knew why his subordinates had failed to be true gods. They were all gods he had rapidly produced out of a mold. They were no different than manufactured gods. It was already very good for them to have been able to be major gods. To be true gods? That was nigh impossible.

    Luo Yuan looked around at the world of time. ¡°Is it because of the new environment in this world?¡± This was the best environment for him to heal and grow, to truly reach the peak of the true-god stage. However, this environment had also given his enemies the chance to grow, creating three enemies at the true-god stage. Of course, Luo Yuan was still of the opinion that those three were useless weaklings. He stood up.

    ¡°Lord.¡± The gods looked at him, trembling all the time.

    ¡°Hehe.¡± Luo Yuan merelyughed lightly. Next, he spun a certain button on his wristband.

    Pu!

    Suddenly, all the gods began coughing up blood. They stared at Luo Yuan, unbelieving look on their faces. Finally, they all fell to the ground, their wristbands blood red. Luo Yuan had killed everyone.

    ¡°When you people can¡¯t even finish your mission, there is no longer any point to your continued existence,¡± Luo Yuan said emotionlessly. After all, he had way too many of these manufactured gods. Out of 1,000 of them, only several dozen were left. What was the point of keeping these pieces of trash?

    They wouldn¡¯t be able to participate in theing battle anyway; they would only drag him down. Moreover, they might even be manipted by Chen Feng. Therefore, Luo Yuan had decided to clean them up. Now, his target was clear. There were only four enemies remaining. Chen Feng, Qin Hai, Kong Bai, and Xu Fei. Killing them would end everything. Now, these four were the only ones in the way of him bing a world controller.

    His eyes shone. ¡°Time to end this.¡± He was sure that these four had gotten in touch with each other. Although their movements seemedpletely random and they seemed to appear atpletely different locations, this was, after all, a small world. With their strength, it wouldn¡¯t be hard for them tomunicate through thought transmissions.

    Therefore, these four were most certainly preparing for the final battle as well. This battle would be against a mid-tier true god, Chen Feng, and three beginner-tier true gods. How pitifully weak.

    Luo Yuan smiled. ¡°Let¡¯s end this.¡± He stepped into the void, charging directly toward Chen Feng. Since,pared to him, all four of them were weaklings, he had decided to first end the weakling with thergest effect on him. This was certainly the correct choice.

    Bang!

    Suddenly, space trembled as a terrifying power swept past. Luo Yuan¡¯s charge toward Chen Feng was forcefully intercepted. Right in the middle of the shockwave, a frail figure stepped out. He looked at Luo Yuan before shing a grin.

    ¡°Excuse me. Who is the most handsome man?¡±

 Chapter 865 - Why Donâ€™t You Guys Ever Answer Correctly?

    <h4>Chapter 865: Why Don¡¯t You Guys Ever Answer Correctly?</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    Luo Yuan frowned. ¡°It¡¯s you.¡± With the gaze one would use when looking at an idiot, he looked at Kong Bai. He truly did not understand from where this fellow had gathered the courage to confront him. He knew who this fellow was. This was Kong Bai, a very ugly person who had a hobby of asking others who the most handsome person was. Luo Yuan even knew which abilities Kong Bai had, and he had also copied those abilities.

    He had copied that Demonic Mirror ability from Kong Bai. Naturally, this was also one of the abilities that needed to be nurtured to grow. As such, since Kong Bai had stopped using the wristband, Luo Yuan¡¯s version of the Demonic Mirror had stopped growing.

    However, so what? Luo Yuan knew all too well the essence of this ability. He needed to first ask the mirror who the most handsome was, then use the mirror to unleash a terrifying attack. The only reason he had even noticed this ability in the first ce was due to the unstoppable attack the mirror was capable of unleashing. It had a defense-ignoring effect, one that normally only existed in games.

    Unfortunately, this mirror only worked against those uglier than the user. As such, the mirror was as good as crippled in the hands of Kong Bai. It seemed like this mirror of Kong Bai¡¯s had upgraded somewhat this time. From his dead subordinates, Luo Yuan had been able to gain a clear understanding of Kong Bai¡¯s present strength.

    He was now a true god. Perhaps his luck had been good and he had been carried to the realm of a true god by the power of time, granting him a brand new ability. To be precise, though, this wasn¡¯t a new ability, since it was essentially identical to that mirror¡¯s attack.

    ¡°You have devoured the Demonic Mirror.¡± Luo Yuan was able to see through this with a single look. ¡°The mirror is too weak for you, since you are too ugly. Therefore, you decided to use this method to improve the mirror¡¯s attack. Before you were hit by the tidal wave of time, you sensed danger. As such, you fused with the mirror. The tidal wave of time was supposed to directly turn you into ash. Thanks to the support of that mirror¡¯s never-ending energy, you survived. After spending a millennium in a time flow, your body eventually fully fused with the mirror. Since then, you and the mirror have been one. You... have also entered the true-god stage because of this.¡±

    What his subordinate gods had failed to understand no matter what was thoroughly seen through by Luo Yuan with a single look.

    ¡°Therefore, your method of attack has changed as well. In the past, you could only attack those uglier than you. Now, you can attack as you wish. The question of who is handsome or not is just an excuse you use to attack.¡± Luo Yuan sneered. ¡°You were bored and decided to do this purely for entertainment.¡± After fusing with the Demonic Mirror, Kong Bai had gained control of all of the mirror¡¯s abilities. What was the point of asking the question? This question was nothing but a form of entertainment for him.

    ¡°If you had hidden in some corner and yed with mud, I would have ignored you. After all, you are nothing but a clown to me. However, you actually dare to stand in my way?¡± Luo Yuan¡¯s voice went cold. ¡°Then I shall destroy you in passing.¡±

    Bang!

    The terrifying aura of a true god rippled out. Just as he had said, as a peak true god, this brand new true god here was nothing but a clown.

    ¡°Hehe. Wrong answer,¡± Kong Bai replied seriously. Evidently, he was still stuck on the question of who was the most handsome.

    Luo Yuan shook his head. ¡°How pointless.¡± <i>Kong Bai, since I have already seen through your ruse, why are you continuing with this pointless act? How... boring.</i>

    Bang!

    Luo Yuan attacked. Instantly, a powerful attack poured out. Even though Kong Bai was a weakling, Luo Yuan did not intend to hold back. Therefore, the moment he attacked, he used his full power. A powerful force shot straight at Kong Bai.

    Blood ughter! This was one of Luo Yuan¡¯s true-god abilities. It was an extremely terrifying attack. s, just as the attack reached Kong Bai, a crystalline radiance emanated out from Kong Bai¡¯s body with a hum. Luo Yuan¡¯s attack was reflected and shot back at Luo Yuan.

    ¡°Damn it!¡± His face fell. He was too clear on the strength of this attack.

    Shua!

    He unleashed a terrifying might.

    A new powerful attack was formed to neutralize the reflected attack. However, in this short instant when he was focused on dealing with the reflected attack, he saw Kong Bai¡¯s elderly eyes aiming straight at him.

    Bang!

    A shocking beam of light shot out from Kong Bai¡¯s eyes, straight at Luo Yuan. This was the punishment that Kong Bai subjected upon anyone who answered his question incorrectly.

    ¡°Defend!¡± Luo Yuan hastily erected a defense. With his present strength, even a high-tier true god wouldn¡¯t be able to harm...

    Pu!

    Blood sttered everywhere before Luo Yuan could even finish his thought. The expression on his face went taut. With a nk look, he rubbed his cheek. Blood? He had actually been injured? He was somewhat dumbstruck. He was now a peak true god, yet he had actually been injured by a little beginner true god? He found this hard to believe. Was this due to his moment of weakness after defending against the reflected attack earlier? No, that was unlikely. After all, he had still sessfully erected his defense.

    Suddenly, Luo Yuan recalled something. Defense-ignoring attack! That was the mirror¡¯s attack! It ignored defenses! After fusing with Kong Bai, this ability had gone toward Kong Bai¡¯s eyes. Now, this damnable titanium beam that Kong Bai shot out was in fact the mirror¡¯s attack, one that ignored all defenses.

    Luo Yuan cursed in anger. ¡°Damn it!¡± Was this guy truly of the opinion that he could punish Luo Yuan?

    Once again, that aged voice drifted over. ¡°Excuse me. Who¡¯s the most handsome man?¡±

    Luo Yuan sneered. ¡°Hehe.¡± This damnable fellow dared to provoke him? If Luo Yuan actually answered, Kong Bai would probably say something like ¡°Correct. But I still have to attack you. Haha, what an idiot.¡±

    Something that idiotic was indeed something Kong Bai was capable of.

    Since Kong Bai had fused with the mirror, he surely had full control over this ability. Why did he insist on asking this pointless question? This was truly infuriating. Luo Yuan was truly angered by this provocation. He wiped the blood from his face. To the present him, a small injury like this was nothing. He turned around and immediately sent another attack toward Kong Bai. The mirror could reflect energy attacks, but what about physical attacks?

    The elderly Kong Bai sighed. ¡°Wrong answer. Why don¡¯t any of you ever know the answer?¡±

    Bang!

    With a single punch, the elderly Kong Bai punched into the ground. He started coughing up blood from the attack, yet in his eyes, that brilliant radiance was forming as usual.

    Bang!

    The beam shot out, nearly prating Luo Yuan¡¯s fist. The attack this time was even stronger than before. Evidently, when used on the same person, the damage this attack could deal would increase continuously. Despite this, Luo Yuan did not care.

    Bang! Bang!

    He continued raining punches down upon Kong Bai.

 Chapter 866 - Kong Bai Is the Most Handsome

    <h4>Chapter 866: Kong Bai Is the Most Handsome</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    Bang! Bang!

    Luo Yuan attacked madly. His prated fist was healing rapidly. His powerful fists rained down, as he intended to punch Kong Bai to death. The difference in strength between them was too great. Even though these were merely physical attacks, the amount of energy within Luo Yuan was not something Kong Bai couldpare to. After all, this was the difference between one at the peak and a beginner. This was a difference even quantity could not hope to match.

    And thus, Kong Bai received grave injuries. s, it was right in the midst of all the punches that Luo Yuan heard that damnable question again.

    ¡°Excuse me, who¡¯s the most handsome man?¡± Kong Bai asked with a hoarse voice unique to the elderly. He was still asking this question even though his face was already filled with blood.

    ¡°Your mom!¡± Luo Yuan was truly infuriated. Even at times like this, Kong Bai was still role-ying?

    ¡°Wrong answer,¡± the elderly Kong Bai replied.

    Pu!

    Two golden beams shed out of his eyes, instantly prating Luo Yuan¡¯s body. To both the left and right of his heart were two huge holes, nearly choking Luo Yuan. This damnable ability! He thought that this effect might be rted to the Demonic Mirror. In his memories, if the same person kept giving the wrong answer, the damage the mirror could inflict would increase. If the person continued to give the wrong answer, the mirror¡¯s attacks would be extremely scary due to the amplification effect.

    Naturally, this was only applicable to the Demonic Mirror of the past. Now that the attacks could be unleashed personally by Kong Bai, so long as Kong Bai decided to attack the same person without stop, the damage inflicted would only continue to increase. Therefore, Luo Yuan could not afford to allow Kong Bai to continue attacking. After all, at this point, this attack was already sufficient to injure Luo Yuan.

    After making up his mind, Luo Yuan¡¯s attacks intensified. The might of a peak true god was fired right into Kong Bai¡¯s body with each punch. As of this moment, Kong Bai did not even look like a human anymore. His body had nearly been destroyed by Luo Yuan. And it was precisely under such a circumstance, when even Luo Yuan thought that it was time to stop, that that damnable question was asked once again.

    ¡°Excuse me, who¡¯s the most handsome man?¡± asked that elderly voice.

    Luo Yuan was utterly dumbstruck. Still asking? Was Kong Bai stupid or what? He looked at Kong Bai. Right now, Kong Bai¡¯s consciousness was hazy, and his physical body was already crippled. So why was he still asking this stupid question?

    Luo Yuan was infuriated. ¡°Who tells you to keep asking this question?¡± He sent a punch to Kong Bai¡¯s head before digging Kong Bai¡¯s eyes out.

    ¡°Hehe. Come, ask me again,¡± Luo Yuan said with a fierce gaze. Chen Feng had yed him for several decades. And now, even Kong Bai dared to y around with him? How ridiculous!

    Bang!

    His final punch scattered Kong Bai¡¯s final breath. It was finally over! Luo Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. s, right at this instant, he heard that horrifying voice waffle out from Kong Bai¡¯s body again. ¡°Wrong answer.¡±

    Luo Yuan¡¯s eyes went wide. How was this possible? Kong Bai was alreadypletely dead; not even his corpse was intact anymore. How could he still ask a question? Hold on, if that was the case, how about his attack?

    Hum¡ª

    Radiance began gathering. Perhaps due to the beating delivered by Luo Yuan, his time, Luo Yuan was able to clearly see the whole process of the energy gathering for this attack. Kong Bai¡¯s eyeballs, which had been crushed by Luo Yuan, transformed into countless light fragments, which were presently hovering in midair. Every single fragment was gathering a resplendent radiance around it.

    All around Luo Yuan, the fragments were shining brightly.

    Luo Yuan was rmed. Even after being crushed, his eyeballs could still gather that radiance? Moreover, from the scope of the radiance that was gathering this time... Luo Yuan¡¯s face fell.

    ¡°No! This is not a power Kong Bai should be capable of! Kong Bai... Demonic Mirror... Question...¡± Suddenly, Luo Yuan understood. Kong Bai? No, there was no Kong Bai. This so-called elder here was in fact the incarnation of the Demonic Mirror. Luo Yuan¡¯s initial guesses had been correct, as Kong Bai had indeed devoured the Demonic Mirror. However, the final aspects of his guesses were wrong. After the fusion, Kong Bai and the mirror hadn¡¯t be one. Rather, the mirror had taken the lead in this fusion. This elderly Kong Bai was essentially the Demonic Mirror!

    That damnable Kong Bai had actually given up his own consciousness and handed everything over to the damnable mirror! Was it purely because the mirror was stronger? As Luo Yuan¡¯s thoughts reached this point, his heart chilled. He knew that this was a result of his neglect. He had assumed thatmon sense would apply here.

    After all, in normal circumstances, nobody would sacrifice themselves for the sake of their ability. To be precise, this sacrifice was for the sake of a piece of equipment. This was not something anyone would do. Definitely not Luo Yuan. Yet Kong Bai had done precisely that. Without hesitation, he had sacrificed himself, only leaving behind some memories for the Demonic Mirror, the memories saying that Kong Bai was the most handsome, before passing away.

    In short, the question he kept asking was in fact necessary! So it turned out that if one answered that Kong Bai was the most handsome, one would truly survive. After all, this was the Demonic Mirror¡¯s obligation. Those who answered correctly would be spared. But then, some gods had clearly been forced to disfigure themselves before being allowed to survive. Why was that?

    Some of the gods that hadn¡¯t opted to disfigure themselves had been killed. How had they died then? Hadn¡¯t their answers been correct? Those gods were the main reason Luo Yuan had been sure that Kong Bai had fused with the mirror. But now that he looked at it, that was probably just an unfounded rumor.

    Luo Yuan clenched his fists tightly. ¡°I have been misled by those damnable fellows.¡± The gods he had brought along were truly useless. Not only had they failed in their hunt, but they had even brought him false intelligence. This had resulted in hispse in judgment. Those gods had indeed deserved death.

    Of course, Luo Yuan¡¯s main focus was not on those dead gods. Rather, he was focused on the flowing radiance around him. After transforming into particles, the power gathered by the eyes was bing increasingly scary. Each of the fragments was capable of gathering power no weaker than what the entire eyeball had gathered previously. Now there were over 1,000 of these fragments here. Luo Yuan also finally got a clear look at these fragments. He found that these weren¡¯t eyeball fragments. Rather, they were the fragments of the mirror! That elderly Kong Bai was indeed the incarnation of the mirror.

    Hum¡ª

    The fragments began to shine brightly. Luo Yuan¡¯s body chilled as he sensed the killing intent taking form around him.

    ¡°Kong Bai! Kong Bai is the most handsome!¡± Luo Yuan yelled out hastily. s, he received no response. His answer waste. Toote. The moment the Demonic Mirror proimed that the wrong answer had been given, the attack had to be delivered. This shattered Demonic Mirror¡¯s final attack was also the scariest one yet.

 Chapter 867 - How Powerful Is This Random Swordplay?

    <h4>Chapter 867: How Powerful Is This Random Swordy?</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    ¡°Leave!¡± Luo Yuan decided. Since he couldn¡¯t stop this attack, his instinctive reaction was to flee from it.

    Swish!

    His figure shed away and transformed into a streak that vanished into the distance. s, right at this moment, those fragments finally finished gathering energy. More than 1,000 fragments, each forming an attack that was three times stronger than what a single eyeball had unleashed, all erupted together.

    Since Luo Yuan had already fled, all the beams were fired off in the same direction. They all met in midair, forming a thick beam of light and bing an extremely terrifying current.

    Bang!

    Where that current passed, space itself was shattered apart. The beam, which was as thick as a bucket, directly hit Luo Yuan¡¯s body.

    A miserable scream echoed. ¡°No!¡±

    Bang!

    His body was instantly prated.

    Pu!

    A scorching whiteness rippled out. Nearly the entirety of the scorching whiteness was sted directly into Luo Yuan¡¯s body, cramming Luo Yuan¡¯s peak true godhood to the brim before it started leaking out of numerous holes in his body.

    ¡°No, this won¡¯t do!¡± Luo Yuan was horrified. Clone! Without hesitation, he utilized his strongest ability: Clone! Another Luo Yuan was immediately formed. This clone shared the same intelligence, consciousness, and thought processes as him. This was the only way for him to have the clone take on the attack on his behalf.

    Shua!

    The clone appeared. s, after only absorbing a small part of the damage, the clone was destroyed.

    ¡°Clone!¡± Luo Yuan howled, and formed another clone. He was nning to keep summoning clones to act as cannon fodder, to soak up the damage meant for him. And thus, one Luo Yuan after another appeared. One Luo Yuan after another was destroyed. Ultimately, this terrifying defense-ignoring attack was fully soaked up by Luo Yuan using this method. He had finally seeded in blocking this attack. Luo Yuan was deathly pale, looking every bit like someone who waspletely devoid of energy. <i>Damn it!</i>

    Normally, the destruction of a single clone was already extremely costly for him. After all, the clones he created were no different than the real him. This time, more than 10 of them had been destroyed in a row. This had nearly killed him from exhaustion alone. He had indeed emerged victorious from this encounter with Kong Bai. s, it was a Pyrrhic victory.

    ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have crushed you into pieces,¡± Luo Yuan muttered with a sigh. How could he have known that every single piece of the shattered Demonic Mirror would be capable of forming an attack as powerful as what an entire eyeball was capable of? With over 1,000 of them... That was equivalent to receiving over 1,000 attacks at once. Holy hell. If he had known this, he would most certainly have told Kong Bai that he was indeed the most handsome. Wouldn¡¯t things have been over with that?

    Truly... Luo Yuan smiled bitterly. He had underestimated the Demonic Mirror. Simrly, he had also underestimated Kong Bai.

    ¡°I will not give you guys any more chances.¡±

    He stood up. After taking in a deep breath, his body¡¯s injuries healed up. Healing from this cost him greatly. It was at this exact moment, after his recovery, that he felt a sense of crisis. Abruptly, his head turned around. There, a figure had appeared, an old man with a long sword. Qin Hai had arrived.

    ¡°It¡¯s you.¡± Luo Yuan was now fully alert. He had initially believed that Xu Fei would be the one to appear first. After all, Qin Hai was the one who posed the biggest threat to him here. This was especially true since Qin Hai had traveled to the ancient times. Qin Hai was someone that Luo Yuan was incapable of seeing through.

    Thanks to his wristband, Luo Yuan was able to see through almost everyone. Even if he couldn¡¯t, he had still witnessed the life experiences of all these people. As such, with the information he had, he could deduce whatever he needed to know. It couldn¡¯t be easier. The only exception to this was Qin Hai.

    His disposition? Heh, after staying in ancient times for so many years, he was already a changed person. His abilities? Heh, the abilities Luo Yuan had actually copied with his wristband had long been crippled. After all, back then, Qin Hai had left the tournament as a cripple.

    Therefore, this was a person that Luo Yuan did not understand at all. This sword... Luo Yuan¡¯s gazended on the sword Qin Hai was holding. It was said that a lot of people had died to this sword. A single wave was all it required to instantly kill all opponents. It was an extremely terrifying sword, a legendary sword called Random Swordy.

    Luo Yuan narrowed his eyes. ¡°I have wanted to have a taste of this sword for a very long time.¡±

    Hum¡ª

    He hardened his entire body, pushing the prowess of his physical body. Terrifying energy converged in his hands. Without saying anything unnecessary, he attacked directly. He was sure that Qin Hai would most certainly unleash his Random Swordy.

    As such, Luo Yuan was thoroughly prepared to face this sword. As of this moment, he pushed himself to his limit, erecting all the defenses he was capable of erecting. This defense was at the level of a peak true god. Luo Yuan was certain that apart from a defense-ignoring attack like that of the Demonic Mirror, nobody could break through this defense. After all, he was much stronger than Qin Hai.

    After his encounter with Kong Bai, Luo Yuan was much more vignt. In addition to the strongest defense he was capable of erecting, he also unleashed his strongest attack, an attack even more powerful than what he had used on Kong Bai. Was Random Swordy powerful? Bring it on!

    Perhaps the defenses he had erected wouldn¡¯t evene into y. The attack alone would be enough to destroy Qin Hai. The collision of their attacks would probably be sufficient to determine the result of this encounter. He would most likely be the victor.

    In this attack, Luo Yuan was fully prepared to deal with anything that mighte. At this thought, he looked over at Qin Hai as his attack was still heading over. Surprisingly, Qin Hai had not bothered to counterattack. That¡¯s right, he hadn¡¯t even bothered to hit back, seemingly allowing Luo Yuan¡¯s attack to hit him freely.

    What was this fellow doing? Luo Yuan¡¯s vignce rose. Facing a fellow like this, who did not abide bymon sense, his sense of vignce red up. Right at this moment, Qin Hai finally moved. Slowly, he lifted his sword up.

    Bang!

    A dreadful aura roiled out.

    ¡°This is it!¡± Luo Yuan understood clearly. So this was that so-called Random Swordy? Indeed, it was exactly as those gods had described it. Just the motion of holding the sword was already capable of unleashing a shocking power, power at the level of mid-tier true god!

    Indeed, sword users were all good at fighting those stronger than them. However, this was the end of this. After all, it was impossible for someone who wasn¡¯t a peak true god to defeat a peak true god. It was also at this moment that the sword Qin Hai was holding began to shine brightly. Just like that, Qin Hai slowly waved his sword, aiming straight at Luo Yuan.

    This wave caused Luo Yuan¡¯s expression to change. He frowned tightly. This sword of Qin Hai¡¯s actually avoided his attack and shed toward Luo Yuan from a different trajectory. Qin Hai had never intended to collide against Luo Yuan¡¯s attack.

    Pu!

    Easily, Luo Yuan¡¯s attack pierced through Qin Hai. Qin Hai¡¯s already aged body appeared even weaker now. The attack of a peak true god was not something his current body could take. This was no different than suicide.

    ¡°...¡±

    After seeing this, Luo Yuan¡¯s vignce intensified. Qin Hai had received his attack just like that so he could return a single sh to him. That ordinary-looking Random Swordy! Everything was to return a single sword to him, one that did not even seem particrly fast.

    Defend! Defend! Defend! Luo Yuan did everything he could to reinforce his defenses. He would not look down on Qin Hai. After his encounter with Kong Bai, he no longer dared to look down on anyone. The sword sent by Qin Hai with his life would most definitely not be a simple one. Luo Yuan was clear on this. Therefore, he defended with all his power, including what he had initially reserved for dealing with Chen Feng.

    Shua!

    Numerous barriers were erected before Luo Yuan. It was pointless to run, since that attack had already locked on to him. He could only face it forcefully, face the attack unleashed by a mere beginner true god.

    Luo Yuan had a resolute gaze. ¡°Qin Hai. Let me take a good look at how strong this attack you have unleashed with your life with.¡±

    Then, for the first time, Qin Hai¡¯s sword touched Luo Yuan¡¯s barrier. Instantly, the barrier, which was capable of defending against a peak true god, melted. That¡¯s right, rather than shattering, the barrier melted. Everything this sword touched melted, like snow that encountered heat. Like a fireball mming into a pile of snow, Qin Hai¡¯s sword mmed into Luo Yuan¡¯s barriers. All of them melted at a rapid speed.

    Luo Yuan was rmed. ¡°Damn it. What¡¯s going on?¡± This was that so-called Random Swordy? No way! Such a sword shouldn¡¯t exist! An attack of this caliber... Damn it! Luo Yuan started retreating speedily while erecting barrier after barrier. s, none of the barriers could stop the advance of this sword, nor were any of his attacks capable of counteracting this sword. All that happened was a never-ending process of melting. What Random Swordy? This was totally Melting Swordy!

    Shua!

    A single sh of this sword seemed capable of melting an entire world.

    ¡°Damn it! Damn it!¡± Luo Yuan¡¯s scalp felt numb. This sword had most definitely reached the level of a peak true god. How was this even possible? Hadn¡¯t Qin Hai only reached the true-god stage recently? It was impossible for him to be able to unleash such an attack. The gaps between gods in the true-god stage weren¡¯t something that could be surpassed so easily.

    Something was wrong with this sword. Luo Yuan¡¯s brain began to spin rapidly. When an attack far surpassing logic like this appeared, there were only a few possibilities, such as illusions, projections, and so on. These possibilities were nothing but false appearances. Something so illogically powerful was not supposed to exist. There had to be something governing this single sword. If so, why was this sword so powerful?

    Right at this instant, when Luo Yuan¡¯s gazended on Qin Hai, he found with horror that Qin Hai had transformed into ashes and was scattering with the wind.

    ¡°Dead?¡±

    Luo Yuan was stunned. He was sure that this was definitely not an effect of his attack. Although his attack earlier had been a powerful one, it was definitely not capable of bringing forth such an effect. If so, could Qin Hai¡¯s death perhaps be rted to the sword he had hurled out? Had Qin Hai hurled that sword out using his very life? That seemed unlikely.

    If so, what about this sword? Luo Yuan looked at the sword, which had now lost its luster. At this moment, he activated his entire arsenal of deduction abilities together with Luck Aura. He finally discovered the truth, the reason this sword was so powerful.

    Luo Yuan had a horrified expression. ¡°It¡¯s actually due to...¡± In that instant earlier, he had seen a terrifying truth. Qin Hai had actually nurtured that sword with his life. Returning to his childhood, he had restarted his cultivation. He had sessfully cultivated for a millennium. In his old age, the year he was going to die of old age, the sword he held had been nurtured to its pinnacle.

    Then, when facing Luo Yuan, he unleashed this sword with his life, this swordparable to the attack of a peak true god. He had used his entire life, a millennium of nurturing this sword, just to wave it once. With his own life, with a millennium, this sword was unleashed, a sword capable of melting everything.

    ¡°Madman! This is aplete madman!¡± Luo Yuan waspletely infuriated. Making him even angrier was the fact that, once again, he had suffered from those gods¡¯ misinformation. In his entire life, Qin Hai had only been capable of sending this sword out once, only one time. Therefore, what on the earth had those gods been on about when they¡¯d imed that Qin Hai had been killing everyone with his Random Swordy?

    <i>Random my ass!</i>

    Luo Yuan was furious. This was the second time he had suffered because of his own people. Naturally, with his intelligence, he also thought of the possibility that Chen Feng was creating the misconceptions. He might have not spent his time cultivating properly and instead wasted it manufacturing these rumors.

    Hehe. Continue on with that, then. Using the most precious period to create rumors instead of cultivation would only weaken Chen Feng himself. However, this idiotic action was also capable of weakening Luo Yuan. It was also an action that Luo Yuan was most disgusted with.

    ¡°Can¡¯t you fight me fair and square?¡±

    Luo Yuan took in a deep breath. At present, he had no time to spare for all those thoughts. He had to use everything he had to stop this sword.

    Pu! Pu!

    That sword continued melting the numerous barriers. A myriad of thoughts shed through Luo Yuan¡¯s brain. s, he could not think of a single method capable of blocking this sword. This sword was too terrifying and powerful. Finally, the sword reached Luo Yuan. At this moment, Luo Yuan recalled the smile he had seen on Qin Hai¡¯s face before his death.

    Damn it! Luo Yuan clenched his teeth and decided to once again use the method he least wanted to use: Clone! That¡¯s right, once again, he had to create numerous clones, clones that were exactly the same as him. With his teeth clenched, he watched on as clone after clone was melted. That¡¯s right, that damnable sword was capable of melting even his clones. Fortunately, it seemed like melting his clones exhausted the sword greatly as well. After melting ten-odd clones in a row, that terrifying sword was finally not as terrifying anymore. Together with the final clone, the sword dissipated into nothingness.

    Finally... it was over. Luo Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, his heart thoroughly chilled. Just Kong Bai and Qin Hai had already exhausted a huge amount of his strength. Even though he had sessfully killed them both, the strength he was left with... Luo Yuan clenched his teeth as he thought about this.

    He decided to first rest and recover before facing Chen Feng. Unfortunately, just as this thought surfaced, apletely naked guy appeared in his vision. With a wide smile, that guy looked at him. ¡°Hey, old chap. Did you think you would get the chance to recover?¡±

    Luo Yuan sank into silence.

    ¡°Xu Fei!¡± He took in a deep breath. That¡¯s right, this was Xu Fei. The only person running around naked in this world was Xu Fei. He was also the person Luo Yuan found the most annoying due to his energy immunity. Now that he was a true god, he should be immune to godly power as well, right?

    Therefore, the only way to deal with him was to fight using his physical body alone. However, when Luo Yuan thought about how he had to have a brawl with thispletely naked guy, he felt an extreme sense of unwillingness welling in his heart. An illustrious peak true god like him, one fated to be a world controller, had reached this point where he had to have a brawl with a naked guy? And in this situation, when he had just fought two exhausting battles in a row?

    He felt like his mind had copsed too many times on this day alone, far surpassing what he had ever experienced in the past. Before he could even meet Chen Feng, he was already being annoyed to death by these fellows. How infuriating!

    ¡°Come at me!¡± Xu Fei howled before charging at Luo Yuan.

    Bang!

    Luo Yuan unleashed one of his abilities: Blood ughter. A terrifying bloody radiance engulfed Xu Fei. s, what caused Luo Yuan to despair was the fact that his guess was indeed correct. Xu Fei waspletely immune to this ability capable of instantly killing true gods. This fellow was indeed immune to godly power now. Was it due to his bloodlines from a dragon and a turtle? Luo Yuan inhaled deeply. Since Xu Fei wanted a brawl, then a brawl it would be!

    Luo Yuan was someone who had fused with countless abilities. Among these abilities were also numerous passive and fleshly body abilities, numbering in the hundred thousands. Therefore, Luo Yuan was not a regr true god. Even his physical flesh had reached the realm of a true god.

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    ¡°Bring it on!¡±

    A blood-red radiance ignited around Luo Yuan¡¯s body. The two began to brawl. No energy was used, nor any godly power. Only pure physical power was used. This was the most primitive of fights. With a bang, a random hill copsed. asionally, there were terrifying gasps and shouts resounding through the air as the voices and collisions began to sound even more intense. It was evident that this battle was nearing its climax.

    Bang! Bang!

    ...

    One mountain after another copsed, destroying the few remaining mountains in this world. After a long time, the world regained its peace. After an even longer time, a figure slowly crawled out of a certain crater. This was Luo Yuan, and at present, he was wearing a rather sorry look.

    ¡°Damn it... Urghhh..¡±

    He started vomiting. He was aware that, to the likes of Xu Fei, fighting was extremely exciting and intense. However, no matter how exciting and intense it got, Xu Fei couldn¡¯t have... hardened... right? After all, he had been fighting stark naked! Shouldn¡¯t it have been a hand-to-hand brawl? Why had Xu Fei equipped his ¡°weapon¡±? Could one imagine what it felt like to be pped by that ¡°iron rod¡± in the midst of a battle? Moreover, there were even a couple of times where that ¡°iron rod¡± had pped Luo Yuan¡¯s face!

    Even worst was the fact that this p was actually extremely painful! This p to the face by someone at the level of Xu Fei had nearly smashed Luo Yuan¡¯s face into smithereens. This battle had truly been... too arduous... and bitter! He had also finally figured out why Xu Fei had appeared only now. If Xu Fei had appeared earlier, Luo Yuan would definitely have been able to easily kill him. Yet now... with Luo Yuan weakened from his previous fights...

    Sigh. This battle had been way too hard. Luo Yuan had indeed won. s, it was a victory he had obtained by relying on his supreme clones. In fact, his fleshly body was at a simr level as Xu Fei¡¯s: the true-god level. Therefore, to obtain victory, he had condensed a clone to fight Xu Fei two against one.

    Naturally, the end result had been the destruction of more than 10 clones in a row. Luo Yuan¡¯s heart ached at the thought. How many clones had he wasted thus far? He couldn¡¯t even count anymore. What had happened to the absolute superiority he was supposed to have?

    He could no longer remember. After going through three battles back to back, he only felt extremely exhausted. He was in a rather bad situation. However, he knew that this had not ended. Indeed, shortly after he crawled out of the crater, before he could even rest, on top of a certain ruined mountain, he saw a familiar figure. This was a figure he hated greatly. After all, he was sure that everything was the work of this fellow. The tricky fighting methods and the vilebat styles were something only this fellow could think of!

    A familiar greeting sounded. ¡°It has been a while.¡±

    ¡°Are you the one who was running around killing people disguised as Qin Hai?¡± Luo Yuan asked with a sigh.

    ¡°That was me.¡± Slowly, that figure walked out of the ruined mountain. He was indeed Chen Feng.

    ¡°The one, disguised as Kong Bai, who killed those who didn¡¯t disfigure themselves was you as well?¡± Luo Yuan asked with another sigh.

    ¡°That was me,¡± Chen Feng answered with a wide smile.

    ¡°Indeed.¡± Luo Yuan shut his eyes. All this was the work of Chen Feng! Due to Kong Bai¡¯s act of killing those who did not disfigure themselves, he had neglected the truth about the Demonic Mirror. Due to Qin Hai killing people randomly, he had neglected the truth about the one and only swing of the sword Qin Hai was capable of. Step by step, Chen Feng hadid out the traps for him to walk through. This was truly quite excessive of him.

    Luo Yuan sighed. ¡°Is there a need for this? You wasted so much energy setting me up, wasting the time you could have used to cultivate instead. This is the same as weakening both of us together. What is the point of this?¡±

    Qin Hai, Kong Bai, and Xu Fei had indeed dragged Luo Yuan down to buy time for Chen Feng to cultivate. After all, in this unique world of time, every second could be the equivalent of several years. Therefore, this method was capable of weakening Luo Yuan and increasing Chen Feng¡¯s strength at the same time.

    At the same time, this also signified that Chen Feng had had quite a limited amount of time to cultivate. With this, Chen Feng¡¯s growth hadn¡¯t been as great as it could have been despite having weakened Luo Yuan. The only thing it aplished was annoying Luo Yuan.

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter,¡± Chen Feng said with a smile. ¡°In any case, I have already reached the high-tier true-god stage.¡±

    Luo Yuan¡¯s face fell. ¡°What?¡± High-tier true god? How was this possible?

    Based on his deductions, Chen Feng should only have reached mid-tier true god at most. And with Chen Feng running around scheming, he should be even weaker, perhaps at the level of a beginner-tier true god. But now, after running around disguised as Qin Hai and Kong Bai to kill people, he had still managed to be a high-tier true god? How was that even possible?

    Luo Yuan found this hard to believe. However, there was no point in lying to him. After all, this was the final battle. All lies were pointless at this point.

    ¡°Time.¡± Chen Feng smiled happily. ¡°Have you forgotten about a certain someone called Duma? He was capable of controlling time, even if his control was rather weak. Unfortunately for you, he was also here when this world descended into chaos,¡± said Chen Feng.

    ¡°Duma? That damnable undying old turtle?¡± Luo Yuan¡¯s heart jolted. That fellow had indeed arrived here as well!

    ¡°Correct,¡± Chen Feng said calmly. ¡°Initially, he was only able to exert a weak control over time. However, did you forget about his particr race¡¯s unique talent?¡±

    ¡°Unique talent of his race...¡± Suddenly, Luo Yuan recalled something. That so-called unique talent was precisely that ability where they could trap their opponents in time and outlive them. This was the unique talent of the scarab race!

    Suddenly, Luo Yuan¡¯s heart started to palpitate. ¡°Could it be...¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± With a smile, Chen Feng continued, ¡°That ability was used on me. And thus, with the amplification effect,bined with the chaotic time of this world, I was able to cultivate to my heart¡¯s content, reaching the high-tier true-god stage.¡±

    Luo Yuan shook his head. ¡°No, something is not right. If that were the case, how did you leave the imprisonment? How could you have outlived Duma?¡± He remembered that within that prison of time, even suicide was not an option.

    ¡°Of course I was unable to outlive him.¡± Chen Feng shrugged. ¡°Therefore, he nted something within his body that would slowly kill him. Before entering the prison, we had already prepared everything. And thus... as time passed, he died, setting me free.¡±

    Luo Yuan was speechless. Another miscalction on his part. He had miscalcted everything! He had made a mistake when facing Kong Bai and the other two, and another when facing Chen Feng. That Duma had pushed Chen Feng to the high-tier true-god stage.

    ¡°It is quite a pity. Initially, I nned to reach peak true god directly.¡± Chen Feng appeared quite regretful. ¡°However, that would have required too much time, and I have no confidence in that. I might truly have died of old age in there before I aplished that. Therefore, I had to give up on it. However, being a high-tier true god is already sufficient to fight you. Am I right?¡± With a smile, Chen Feng continued, ¡°A battle with the current you is definitely doable!¡±

    Luo Yuan¡¯s heart trembled. Indeed... Right now, he had been weakened so much that he was pretty much equivalent to a high-tier true god. What a fine Chen Feng! To advance gradually and entrench himself with every step he took, for his scheming to have been able to reach this far! Luo Yuan¡¯s act of attacking this world had beenpletely unexpected. Chen Feng had obviously been unprepared for that. Yet Chen Feng had still been able to act ordingly, to beginying out his schemes to reach the present situation.

    Luo Yuan sighed. ¡°I have underestimated you.¡± Chen Feng was much more formidable than he had imagined. Now, only the two of them were left in this alien world. Chen Feng had also sessfully dragged Luo Yuan down to the same level as him for this final battle. In a way, this could already be considered a loss of sorts for Luo Yuan. After all, he had once been so very powerful. Toward this, Chen Feng merely smiled. It hadn¡¯t been easy for him to reach this point.

    ¡°Our source of strength is rather simr,¡± Chen Feng said calmly. ¡°You possess a myriad of abilities. The same goes for me. You have luck on your side. The same is true for me. Moreover, even our methods of cultivation are the same. Therefore, the moment your strength drops to a level lower than mine, you will be absolutely suppressed. Due to our simr sources of strength, the oppressiones easier,¡± Chen Feng said coldly.

    ¡°Theoretically, that is correct.¡± Suddenly, Luo Yuan smiled and changed the topic. ¡°However, did you know that I am not the only one here who underestimated his opponent? You also underestimated me.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Chen Feng raised an eyebrow. He did not believe that Luo Yuan would say these words without a reason.

    ¡°Do you know how many abilities in total I possess? Do you know how many godly powers I possess? You don¡¯t. At times, even I myself am unaware. However, what I remember are the few abilities that areparatively powerful and unique. Among them, there is a certain terrifying ability that is still fresh in my memory. That ability is one I have upgraded greatly. It is an extremely hard ability to grow. Look at this. Kong Bai, Xu Fei, you... Everyone here has an ability unique to themself. As for me, apart from the Copy ability, are you not curious about what other ability I have nurtured?¡± Luo Yuan asked with a faint smile.

    Finally, Chen Feng¡¯s expression began to change. True. What exactly was the ability that Luo Yuan had been growing?

    Even an ability like Demonic Mirror had failed to attract Luo Yuan¡¯s attention so much that he had decided not to grow it. The same went for the other abilities, such as transmigration and even Wang Chun¡¯s book ability. If so, what ability was it that he had been nurturing all these years? What had he been doing? Focusing on the Copy ability? It was natural that he would focus on that ability. However, that ability only required upgrades, rather than proper cultivation.

    As such, what exactly was the ability that Luo Yuan had been cultivating all this while? He was someone who possessed all abilities in existence. He was also someone who controlled nearly all the godly powers in existence. Therefore, he could most certainly select whichever one was the strongest and had the most potential to grow. What ability was that, then? As Chen Feng¡¯s thoughts reached this point, his face fell.

    ¡°Did you know? I am someone who is afraid of death,¡± Luo Yuan said with a smile. ¡°As such, the ability I have used my entire life to cultivate is rted to death. Naturally, this ability has a very pleasant name.¡± The smile on Luo Yuan¡¯s face became a sneer. ¡°The name of this ability is... Nirvana Rebirth!¡±

    Chen Feng¡¯s face fell. He had heard of this ability. As such, he was aware of how terrifying this ability was.

    ¡°I will not give you the chance to use it!¡± Chen Feng charged forth and attacked Luo Yuan directly.

    Luo Yuan howled withughter. ¡°Hahaha!¡± He punched at his own heart. Instantly, the terrifying power of a peak true god permeated his body, destroying all his veins, killing himself instantly. s, this was merely the start. A clump of me appeared out of nowhere and began burning Luo Yuan¡¯s corpse. The corpse was enveloped in the me as the intensity of the me increased, bearing great resemnce to the me of a phoenix.

    Chen Feng¡¯s pupils shrunk. ¡°This...¡±

    Suddenly, the me rippled out. From amid the me, a figure walked out. Luo Yuan had been perfectly recreated. This was no longer the Luo Yuan that was in a sorry state after numerous battles. This was no longer the weakened Luo Yuan that was exhausted. This was Luo Yuan at his peak.

    However, he had a curious look on his face as he looked at Chen Feng, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you stop me?¡±

    ¡°How was I supposed to stop you?¡± Chen Feng asked, a look of doubt on his face.

    ¡°Because the Chen Feng I remember would definitely try to put out the fire. Perhaps he would try using water, or perhaps another liquid or some other methods.¡± Luo Yuan was filled with doubt. ¡°I had a lot of preparations in ce to deal with such things. And yet you didn¡¯t do anything at all.¡±

    Chen Feng: ¡°...¡±

    It turned out that Luo Yuan saw him as that kind of person?

    ¡°Nevertheless, it no longer matters.¡± Luo Yuan smiled. ¡°I am back! Haha. Qin Hai? Kong Bai? Mere jokes!¡± Luo Yuan said with a cheerfulugh. This hidden ability of his had sessfully transformed everything they had done into jokes. He had indeed underestimated Chen Feng and the others. However, the same was true of them as well. He was the final victor.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng said, ¡°Well, at the very least, your rebirth has now been exhausted, right?¡±

    Finally, Luo Yuan¡¯s face froze.

    ¡°If this ability was truly so powerful, you would have used it long ago.¡± Chen Feng analyzed the situation. ¡°But you did not. Even after so many dangerous situations you got yourself into, you never used it. Is that only for the sake of keeping this ability a secret? It is quite likely that it has a cooldown period, right? From the fact that you didnt opt to secretly use it when nobody was looking, it is likely that this cooldown is quite significant as well, right? For an ability at this level, the cooldown shouldn¡¯t be shorter than one year. After all, there is be a bnce to everything.¡±

    As Chen Feng talked, Luo Yuan¡¯s face became unsightly. Evidently, what Chen Feng was saying was the truth. However, Luo Yuan¡¯s face recovered shortly after.

    ¡°What does that matter?¡± Luo Yuan smiled. ¡°After I kill you, nobody will know of this. Apart from you, nobody else is my opponent. Today is the day everythinges to an end.¡±

    He was Luo Yuan, a peak true god, one who controlled countless abilities. As for Chen Feng, he was a mere high-tier true god. The gap between them was clear for all to see. Chen Feng¡¯s tricks and schemes had all been neutralized. Luo Yuan had evenmitted suicide to obtain rebirth rather than allow Chen Feng to kill him. All this was to avoid the endless schemes of Chen Feng. After all, if Chen Feng had in his possession some method capable of making him sleep instead, wouldn¡¯t he be finished? Therefore, he had decisivelymitted suicide. And thus, this resulted in him once again being stronger than Chen Feng.

    ¡°Come!¡± Luo Yuan moved. He wanted to see for himself what tricks Chen Feng still had up his sleeve.

    Bang!

    The battle erupted. Luo Yuan was fearless in his attacks. Different than Qin Hai, Kong Bai, and Xu Fei, he was clear about Chen Feng¡¯s strength. Luo Yuan knew extremely well every step Chen Feng had taken. Therefore, he had a deep understanding of what Chen Feng was capable of and all of Chen Feng¡¯s abilities. The extent his strength would reach as a high-tier true god was also clear to Luo Yuan.

    As a peak true god, he was capable of suppressing Chen Feng in all aspects. This signified that Chen Feng would forever be subjected to his suppression.

    ¡°If your n had seeded, I might have truly been defeated. Unfortunately, the one to fail will be you now,¡± Luo Yuan said with confidence.

 Chapter 871 - Luo Yuan: I Win

    <h4>Chapter 871: Luo Yuan: I Win</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    Luo Yuan had all the abilities Chen Feng had, including Luck Aura. None of Chen Feng¡¯s abilities could be utilized effectively against Luo Yuan. Therefore, Luo Yuan had kept his Luck Aura in defensive mode, as he was clear that Chen Feng¡¯s Luck Aura was somewhat stronger than his.

    Fortunately, Chen Feng wasn¡¯t using his Luck Aura to fight. The two were tangled in a frantic battle, yet Chen Feng was being suppressed the whole time. He was being suppressed in terms of godly power, abilities, and so on. Even with Chen Feng¡¯s formidable strength, he was still unable to disy his might before Luo Yuan.

    ¡°Damn it!¡±

    Chen Feng had an unsightly expression. A single mistake had caused his entire n to copse. Having missed the Nirvana Rebirth ability in his ns, he had now fallen into a bitter situation. Would he truly be defeated this time?

    Luo Yuanughed happily as he saw Chen Feng¡¯s unsightly expression. ¡°Are you scared now?¡± Naturally, his actions would not be affected whatsoever by Chen Feng¡¯s expression. He still maintained the highest level of vignce, paying full attention to every single action of Chen Feng¡¯s. He knew that a person like Chen Feng would most certainly have other trump cards up his sleeve. Therefore, he had to be on guard. So long as he survived the wave of trump cards, so long as he survived this battle, Luo Yuan would be able to truly control the world.

    ¡°Come!¡± howled Luo Yuan.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    He attacked relentlessly, suppressed relentlessly, and pressured Chen Feng relentlessly. He wanted to force Chen Feng¡¯s trump cards out, force Chen Feng to use his final move. After that, everything would end. As for Chen Feng, he wasn¡¯t able to do anything but hold on with great difficulty.

    One day, two days, three days, ten days. The length of their battle far surpassed an ordinary battle. Since the two had nearly the same set of abilities, Luo Yuan was relying purely on his higher realm to suppress Chen Feng. s, this higher tier was what caused Chen Feng to have no hope of victory. However, due to the both of them having nearly the same abilities, it was extremely hard for Luo Yuan to kill Chen Feng.

    They knew each other too well. As such, they both knew how to evade every possibleing attack from the other party. Luo Yuan was someone who possessed all godly powers. The same was also true for Chen Feng, who had obtained them when he¡¯d assumed the identity of the mysterious person back then.

    This resulted in Luo Yuan being forced to consider what attacks to use before he did anything. He also had to consider what abilities Chen Feng would use against whichever attack he was going to use. Each time, he selected an ability that could only be stopped by a few abilities or methods. At the same time, he had to hope that Chen Feng would not use the most suitable method or ability to deal with whatever attack he decided to use.

    Unfortunately for Luo Yuan, every single time, Chen Feng chose to use the ability or method Luo Yuan most hoped Chen Feng wouldn¡¯t use. This battle was almost equivalent to a game of poker. The moment Luo Yuan moved, Chen Feng knew what he was going to do. Then, Chen Feng would use the most appropriate defensive measure.

    Therefore, the battle between them was in fact oneden with annoyances. The damage of each of Luo Yuan¡¯s attack was mitigated to the limit by Chen Feng. Although Luo Yuan was able to suppress Chen Feng on every level, the damage he could deal to Chen Feng was minimal. The damage he was dealing was even lower than what he had been able to deal to Xu Fei earlier. Therefore, although Chen Feng¡¯s defeat was certain, it wouldn¡¯t be an easy defeat.

    Luo Yuan sneered. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I can afford to wait.¡± He had already waited so many years. What was a few more days? Bring it on!

    Bang! Bang!

    He once again started attacking. Time passed. One day, two days, 10 days, 100 days...

    Slowly, Chen Feng¡¯s body was became less able to endure. After all, he was but a high-tier true god. Even though he could mitigate Luo Yuan¡¯s attacks to the limit, the umting damage he was receiving had reached a terrifying level after so many days. Finally, his face became exceptionally unsightly, and his aura became extremely feeble.

    Bang! Bang!

    Luo Yuan continued his cruel attacks. One day, two days, 10 days, 100 days...

    Pu!

    Chen Feng coughed up blood for the very first day since the start of their battle. Luo Yuan was overjoyed. He knew that Chen Feng wouldn¡¯t be able to hold on much longer.

    ¡°Still not willing to use it? Still trying to save your trump card? Haha. Qin Hai and the rest are already dead, yet you are still hiding your trump card? If you continue hiding it, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t have the chance to use it. Do you intend to be exhausted to death by me just like this? Haha.¡±

    Luo Yuan howled withughter. His terrifying strength poured out in an absolutely unrestrained manner. Chen Feng¡¯s face was ashen as he looked at Luo Yuan and suddenly sighed. ¡°So it has finally reached this point...¡±

    ¡°Mhm?¡± Luo Yuan¡¯s mind jolted. Here it was! He knew that Chen Feng¡¯s trump card was going to arrive. He had been waiting so many days just for this moment. So long as he survived this trump card, everything would end. What could be Chen Feng¡¯s trump card? Luo Yuan¡¯s mind worked overtime, taking in various possibilities before narrowing it down to a single ability. He was clear that this was certainly Chen Feng¡¯s trump card. This was Chen Feng¡¯s only possible trump card. This was the most terrifying ability Chen Feng had had back then: God Punisher!

    God Punisher was an ability capable of unleashing every ability the user had ever used all at once. For abilities that had been used more than once, the strongest version of that ability would be selected. This was Chen Feng¡¯s strongest trump card. When he had still been weak back then, it hadn¡¯t been that scary an ability. But now...

    This was probably the reason Chen Feng had endured in this battle for several hundred days. During this period, apart from defending himself, Chen Feng had also been spamming numerous abilities without stop. Ultimately, he would most likely use God Punisher to unleash them all. Granted, individually, these abilities were weak and incapable of dealing major damage to Luo Yuan. However, when tens of thousands of abilities at the level of high-tier true god were unleashed all at once, it might be able to kill even a peak true god like him. At this moment, Chen Feng finally raised his hand, forming that familiar gesture with his hand.

    ¡°Indeed...¡± Luo Yuan inhaled deeply. Come then, the legendary God Punisher!

    Shua! Shua! Shua!

    Every ability Chen Feng had and every defensive ability that Luo Yuan possessed surfaced in Luo Yuan¡¯s mind. Was this ability of Chen Feng¡¯s powerful? Yes. s, it had been revealed too far in advance.

    Therefore, a long time ago, when Luo Yuan had learned that his enemy would be Chen Feng, he had prepared appropriately to deal with God Punisher. An ability most suitable for this task had been prepared. This was an extremely powerful defensive ability.

    ¡°Come!¡± howled Luo Yuan.

    At this time, Chen Feng, his expression solemn, pointed his finger at Luo Yuan. ¡°Go.¡±

    Bang!

    God Punisher: unleashed!

    Everything was as Luo Yuan had guessed. Chen Feng had unleashed God Punisher, which was exactly as powerful as he¡¯d predicted.

    Bang!

    He was engulfed by God Punisher.

    Pu!

    He stood up, using his flesh to take the God Punisher on.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Blood sshed everywhere. However, Luo Yuan was instead howling withughter. He could clearly feel the might of God Punisher, and he could also clearly feel God Punisher¡¯s amplification after each attack. He knew that this ability would be at its strongest in the final second. Luo Yuan¡¯s body was stuck in a cycle of constant destruction and regeneration. He was taking on Chen Feng¡¯s God Punisher forcefully, taking on that nearly never-ending bombardment, that terrifying power that was nearly impossible to resist.

    Even so, God Punisher was still increasing in strength. The speed of the attacks was increasing as well. Faster... and faster! God Punisher, which had originally been a slow attack, had long be an extremely terrifying ability after the numerous modifications it had gone through. Now, even though the amount of abilities it contained had increased, it only required a short three seconds to fully unleash everything in its arsenal.

    During the first two seconds, Luo Yuan took on the attacks with his own flesh. He was now drenched with blood. With his teeth clenched, he survived. Now, the final second had arrived.

    Bang!

    The torrential attacks unleashed by God Punisher suddenly became terrifying and horrifying. Despite this, Luo Yuanughed. Heughed an extremely happyugh. Gently, he unleashed the nice surprised he had prepared for Chen Feng: Absolute Defense! For a period of one second after activating this ability, the user would bepletely invincible! In its final second, God Punisher was rendered ineffective. Although Chen Feng had noticed that something wasn¡¯t right with his keen senses and had adjusted his God Punisher in order to somewhat lengthen the release period, it was toote. By the time the Absolute Defense was activated, God Punisher¡¯s attacks had already started pouring out. Therefore, God Punisher¡¯s attacks finally pierced through Luo Yuan. Yet amid the sttering blood, Luo Yuan howled withughter. He knew that victory was now in his hands.

    ¡°I knew you would lengthen the firing phase of your God Punisher. However, you can only lengthen it slightly, not a lot. Moreover, this will also result in a drop in power. Therefore, it does not matter even if the attack manages tond.¡±

    Pu!

    Luo Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood andughed heartily. ¡°Haha. God Punisher? Hahaha! Powerful indeed.¡±

    Shua!

    His body started healing at a rapid pace. Despite the huge energy intake required for this and the heavy injury he had sustained, he still burned energy without hesitation to fully heal his body. At the same time, his most powerful attack was shot at Chen Feng. Based on his understanding, Chen Feng was now at his weakest.

    Pu!

    The beam of light he shot out pierced through Chen Feng, immediately skewering him right where he stood. Chen Feng¡¯s heart was pierced through. He was left so weak that perhaps even a de of grass would be sufficient to kill him.

    ¡°It¡¯s over,¡± Luo Yuan said in a somewhat exhausted manner with the ease of someone that had been released of a burden. It had finally ended.

    Pu!

    Luo Yuan was still coughing up blood, as he had simrly sustained grave injuries. However, this did not matter, as he could sense the rapid recovery his body was going through.

    ¡°You are very intelligent. You are very powerful as well. Unfortunately, you are too young, and you¡¯re weaker than me.¡± Luo Yuan gazed into Chen Feng¡¯s unwilling eyes. ¡°If... if you were born slightly earlier than me, you would most certainly be stronger than me. What a pity... Nevertheless, do not worry. I promised Wang Yao that I would save you. Hehe. The Chen Feng of the past can continue to be together with Wang Yao. This is quite a good oue, right?¡±

    Luo Yuan sat down beside Chen Feng. This scene of the two of them side by side appeared rather harmonious. Naturally, this was only true if that bright thorn piercing out of Chen Feng¡¯s chest was ignored.

    ¡°You won,¡± Chen Feng said weakly.

    ¡°Of course.¡± Luo Yuan put his hand on Chen Feng¡¯s body. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. There will be no reversal from this. This thorn is capable of sealing all rebirth and recovery abilities. This is why I didn¡¯t allowed you to kill me before I used my Nirvana Rebirth earlier; after all, if you yed a trick, it could have been possible to render the rebirth invalid.¡± Luo Yuan smiled cruelly. ¡°Therefore, go in peace.¡±

    Luo Yuan pushed the torn deeper into Chen Feng¡¯s body. Once again, Chen Feng was pierced through by the thorn. Almost instantly, Chen Feng¡¯s aura became insubstantial, seemingly on the brink of destruction.

    ¡°You...¡± Chen Feng looked at Luo Yuan, filled with indignation. ¡°Have... you not considered that I might still be able to be reborn?¡±

    Luo Yuan sneered. ¡°Reborn? Not possible.¡±

    ¡°Fine.¡± Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was going nk. ¡°Did you know that I still have a trump card capable of rebirth?¡±

    ¡°It is useless.¡± Luo Yuan curled his lips. ¡°I told you. All methods of rebirth have been sealed.¡±

    Chen Feng: ¡°...Are you sure about that?¡± Suddenly, Chen Fengughed. ¡°True, it is indeed unrealistic to expect you to keep falling for my tricks.¡±

    ¡°Mhm?¡± Why were the words this fellow was saying so weird? It was reasonable to assume that Chen Feng was on the verge of death and that he was presently uttering his final words. However, why was Luo Yuan still getting such an ufortable feeling? Rebirth should not be possible. That thorn was capable of sealing even his Nirvana Rebirth. As such, it would definitely not allow Chen Feng any avenue of rebirth. And yet why did he feel a chill deep in his heart, listening to Chen Feng? He had no answer to that.

    ¡°It¡¯s a pity. You are so firm in your belief that I will die. Otherwise, I would most definitely be reborn anew...¡± Chen Feng appeared incredibly regretful.

    ¡°???¡± Luo Yuan was somewhat dumbfounded. What did his belief have to do with Chen Feng¡¯s rebirth?

    ¡°Hehe.¡± Chen Fengughed. Despite his dissipating aura, heughed. ¡°Dear Luo Yuan... have you not noticed that everything you nned progressed too smoothly? To the point where even the final fatal attack you dealt to Chen Feng was exactly as had imagined and believed would happen?¡± Chen Feng¡¯s aura was getting more and more feeble. ¡°What a... wonderful n...¡±

    Shua!

    And thus, Chen Feng slumped down powerlessly. Dead. Chen Feng was dead. And yet the words he had uttered before his death caused a chill to rise within Luo Yuan¡¯s heart. What did he mean? Everything was as Luo Yuan had nned? Was this some sort of illusion? No, that was unlikely. Why had that fellow uttered those words, then?

    Suddenly, Luo Yuan recalled how, in the past, he had also firmly believed in Chen Feng¡¯s fake death and had been tricked for several decades. However, it was different this time. Chen Feng had truly died in front of him, killed by him personally. Therefore, he was absolutely certain that Chen Feng was dead. If so, what did those words mean?

    For an unfathomable reason, Luo Yuan felt a sense of horror. Was this some sort of seed Chen Feng had nted in him just so he could never have peace of mind? Or was it for some other bizarre reason? Luo Yuan was clueless. What was the meaning of those words? Luo Yuan was utterly dumbstruck. He had a feeling that he had entered some sort of odd condition. So this Chen Feng guy was trying to force him to his insanity even after death?

    Shortly after, Luo Yuan recollected his mind. He knew that he couldn¡¯t dwell on this any longer. He had to stabilize his will. Regardless of what Chen Feng had been scheming, Luo Yuan would face it with force. After all, all Chen Feng had left was merely his bunch of ragtag friends.

    At present, nobody was capable of stopping Luo Yuan. Even in this alien world, Luo Yuan was the sole master. Hehe... His next step was to return to the outside world, to unify the world under his rule. Indeed, he was still the true main character of this world. With renewed belief, he left. However, before leaving, he instinctively nced over at Chen Feng¡¯s corpse.

    Immediately, unprecedented horror washed over him. There, Chen Feng¡¯s corpse... had changed.

    Luo Yuan trembled. ¡°How is this possible?¡± He charged over franticly. He lifted Chen Feng¡¯s corpse up and fixed his gaze on the corpse. His entire body chilled at what he saw. The corpse was here. However, this corpse here, this person he had personally killed, was not Chen Feng. Rather... it was Wu Hui, Chen Feng¡¯s disciple.

    Bang!

    A resounding boom erupted in Luo Yuan¡¯s mind. At this moment, he finally understood all those things he had found odd earlier. Why had ¡°Qin Hai¡± suddenly started killing? Because Wu Hui had appeared. He had pretended to be Qin Hai, feeding upon the fear and imagination of the various gods and killing everyone that believed they would be killed by Qin Hai.

    Why had Kong Bai killed even after the correct answer was given? It was for the same reason. The gods were too terrified and were of the belief that Kong Bai would kill them. This belief had been too strong, causing Wu Hui to make their belief a reality.

    Even he himself had fallen victim to this. He suddenly understood the reason ¡°Chen Feng¡± had told him what the n was. ¡°Chen Feng¡± had also told Luo Yuan that his strength was now that of a high-tier true god, said that they now shared the same abilities, and so on. All that had been to feed Luo Yuan¡¯s imagination, which Wu Hui would in turn feed on.

    It was no wonder that ¡°Chen Feng¡± had been so hard to defeat. It was no wonder that every single ability Luo Yuan had been scared of seeing had been unleashed correctly by ¡°Chen Feng.¡± It was no wonder that even the final result of their battle was exactly what he¡¯d believed it would be. True, everything had progressed way too smoothly. So it turned out he had been fighting his own imagination all this while?

    Hahahahaha!

    In his anger, Luo Yuan howled withughter, tears dripping down his face. Howmentable. So after exhausting all his trump cards, he had merely killed a figment of his own imagination? Just some Wu Hui? A disciple of Chen Feng?

    Hahahahaha!

    Suddenly, Luo Yuan¡¯sughter paused. He had suddenly thought of another question. If Wu Hui was here, where was Chen Feng?

    Bang!

    A sudden boom reverberated across the sky. At a certain location in this world, a figure was walking out of a ce of secluded cultivation. With a single nce, Luo Yuan¡¯s body chilled. That person was precisely Chen Feng. Chen Feng was now a high-tier true god. At this moment, Luo Yuan finally understood everything. All along, Chen Feng had not been messing around in this alien world. From the moment this world had started to copse, he had been in cultivation. When Luo Yuan had been fighting all those people, Chen Feng had still been in cultivation. Even during the several hundred days that Luo Yuan was fighting Wu Hui, Chen Feng had still been cultivating. All this while, Chen Feng had been cultivating in the region where the flow of time was the fastest.

    Chen Feng smiled calmly. ¡°It has been a while, Luo Yuan.¡±

    Luo Yuan¡¯s heart trembled, and he felt somewhat intive. This was a familiar greeting in apletely unfamiliar scenario. This time, he was at an absolute disadvantage. He was suffering from grave injuries and could disy less than 10% of his peak strength. All his trump cards had been exhausted, and he was greatly weakened. Standing before him was Chen Feng, who was fresh out of his cultivation. In such situation, how was he supposed to face Chen Feng?

    Chen Feng looked at him. ¡°You have been the main character for over 30 years. Now it is time to give up on your position as main character.¡±

    Shua!

    He moved toward Luo Yuan one step at a time. Each step he took was apanied by a boundless radiance. Luo Yuan wanted to say something to drag this out. Unfortunately for him, Chen Feng was evidently not nning to give him more time. At this moment, everyone knew what woulde next.

    Shua!

    Chen Feng lifted his hand. This was a familiar action, done with a familiar posture.

    ¡°God Punisher!¡±

    Bang!

    Boundless power bloomed. A terrifying power erupted, instantly submerging Luo Yuan. In truth, this power wasn¡¯t particrly powerful. It was even weaker than the attack that Luo Yuan had imagined. After all, the Chen Feng he had imagined had been capable of engaging in battle with Luo Yuan for several hundred days before severely injuring him. It was clear that the Chen Feng before him did not have suchbat power.

    If Luo Yuan were at his peak, he would be able to easily block this attack. Unfortunately, he was not at his peak. Presently, he was seriously injured.

    Pu!

    The terrifying power of God Punisher pierced Luo Yuan¡¯s body. Chen Feng knew too well that Luo Yuan was trying to buy time so as to allow his Absolute Defense to recover. Obviously, Chen Feng would not give him the time to do so.

    Bang!

    God Punisher was still attacking. Chen Feng¡¯s expression was ice cold. He had waited far too long for this moment. He had been in hiding for several decades all for today. Qin Hai, Kong Bai, Xu Fei, and Wu Hui were dead. There were also others. Too many had been sacrificed just to reach this step. Chen Feng hoped to end this as soon as possible.

    He had hoped that Kong Bai would be sessful in defeating Luo Yuan. s, Kong Bai had been killed. He had also hoped that Qin Hai would be sessful. Unfortunately, Qin Hai had been killed as well. It was the same for Xu Fei and Wu Hui. Each step taken had been arduous. It had been too hard, the sacrifices too great. Now, only Chen Feng was left. Therefore, he had to remain alive. He had to kill Luo Yuan. He had to bring everyone back.

    Bang!

    The final second of God Punisher¡¯s firing phase arrived. That terrifying beam submerged Luo Yuan, and that terrifying power pierced through Luo Yuan. At this moment, Luo Yuan¡¯s consciousness was already turning hazy. He could not understand this. He stared ahead nkly. The decisive battle he had waited so long for had actuallye to this.

    So it turned out that when he finally met Chen Feng, he could only receive a beating without being able to even strike back? Howmentable. How sad. How unwilling!

    ¡°I am unwilling to ept this!¡± howled Luo Yuan. He was Luo Yuan! The almighty god-king! How could he be defeated by Chen Feng? A weakling like this? He was unwilling.

    ¡°If I have to die, you wille with me,¡± he howled inwardly.

    He would not allow his final battle to be one where he waspletely on the receiving end. He would not permit this. He wanted to destroy everything. Luo Yuan was an extremely intelligent person. As such, all his preparations had long been put in ce. The trump card for the perfect rebirth was one such preparation. The destruction of the world was another.

    He was Luo Yuan, the person who controlled everyone. Because of that, he had once thought of an interesting idea. What would happen if all his abilities exploded at the same time? He was quite curious. However, he had never dared to attempt this, as even he might be killed as a result. Now, though...

    ¡°Hehe. Chen Feng, don¡¯t you want to kill me?¡± A cruel smile appeared on Luo Yuan¡¯s face. ¡°Come at me then!¡±

    Bang!

    Luo Yuan held his head high and puffed his chest out. Even though he was alreadyden with holes, his back was still straight.

    He howled withughter. ¡°Let this world perish together with me!¡±

    Bang!

    All of his abilities were set alight. Instantly, a terrifying power engulfed the whole world. He wanted the entire world to perish together with him. He wanted Chen Feng to perish together with him. This was the only conclusion he was willing to ept. This was a conclusion befitting of him. If he had to suffer defeat, the defeat would be a magnificent one.

    s, at this moment, Chen Feng¡¯s voice resounded by his ear. ¡°Luo Yuan, don¡¯t you remember why you used the power of time to strengthen this world?¡±

    Huh? Why? Instinctively, Luo Yuan answered that he had done that because he¡¯d feared Chen Feng would drag him down so that they¡¯d die together. As Luo Yuan¡¯s thoughts reached this point, he was instantly startled awake. Die together? Yes, this world had already been strengthened. It was now hard to destroy. He was in a trap he had nted himself!

    ¡°Damn it!¡± Luo Yuan¡¯s face became unsightly. Despite that, he was still howling amid the boundless radiance. ¡°That only applies to you. My millions and millions of abilities are sufficient to destroy everything!¡± howled Luo Yuan.

    ¡°Yes,¡± Chen Feng replied, ¡°you are indeed capable of destroying this world. However, your speed will still be affected.¡±

    Luo Yuan¡¯s eyes opened wide. Amid the boundless radiance engulfing this world, he could see Chen Feng leaving this copsing world slowly while carrying the huge pce that Wang Yao was in. The copse of this world was obviously too slow to catch up to Chen Feng.

    ¡°No!¡± howled Luo Yuan.

    Bang!

    The world exploded, yet Chen Feng had already departed. With his eyes open wide, Luo Yuan stared nkly as Chen Feng left, as his figure vanished into the distance.

    ¡°No! How can this happen!¡± Slowly, Luo Yuan¡¯s body was reduced to nothingness. The eruption of all of his abilities was indeed sufficient to destroy him. At this moment, the world of The Crystal Pce was destroyed as well and turned into nothingness. At the final moment before everything turned dark, in Luo Yuan¡¯s hazy vision, he seemed to sense a sweet-scented wind blowing past him. He could see the vague image of that flower-like youngdy.

    ¡°Hey... I... missed you.¡±

    Bang!

    With a boundless st, the world of The Crystal Pce was reduced to nothingness, leaving nothing behind.

 Chapter 874 - The Ambition of the Backup Plan

    <h4>Chapter 874: The Ambition of the Backup n</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    Somewhere within the Kingdom of Luo Yuan, a streak of light tore through the sky. A crack was ripped in space, and from that tiny crack, a huge figure appeared.

    Ka! Ka!

    The huge figure squeezed out of the crack and finally made it outside, and the crack copsed. What had appeared from the crack was actually a huge pce. Below the pce was Chen Feng, who had been carrying it along all the while with his teeth clenched.

    ng!

    The pcended on the ground loudly. Chen Feng¡¯s figure floated down. Behind him, that huge crack began to slowly close up. Chen Feng had returned!

    ¡°Haha,e, I saw something.¡±

    ¡°This might be some treasure from some alien realms.¡±

    ¡°I saw a huge pce.¡±

    Some excited voices could be heard as a bunch of bizarre life-forms appeared. The first thing they did was surround this ce. ¡°Eh? Someone is already here.¡±

    ¡°Heh, kid. Go away,¡± said one of the life-forms. ¡°This is not something you can touch.¡±

    Chen Feng merely gave him an indifferent nce.

    Hum¡ª

    A faint radiance pulsed out. Instantly, that life-form, who was as powerful as a major god, turned to ash and scattered in the air.

    The remaining life-forms were instantly rmed. Instantly killing a major god with such ease? Who was this fellow? This strength... A true god? Their expressions shifted as they immediately nned to retreat. s, a faint ripple swept past them instantly, reducing them all to dust.

    ¡°Why did you opt to appear when I am in a bad mood?¡± Chen Feng said with an indifferent expression as the dust scattered around.

    ¡°Have I... finally won?¡±

    Chen Feng was feeling somewhat mncholy. Indeed, he had won. This battle had been too hard, and the casualties too high. Qin Hai, Kong Bai, Xu Fei... everyone was dead! For this victory, they had given everything. However, it was still not the end. They had helped him with the first half of the n. The second half of the n was all in the hands of Chen Feng. Chen Feng had a resolute gaze.

    That¡¯s right, this was not the end. Although Luo Yuan was dead...

    ¡°Will you die just like that?¡±

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was cold. Everything had progressed too smoothly. Luo Yuan had died too easily. Although he had already used many of his trump cards, this had still progressed too smoothly. Chen Feng hadn¡¯t felt any struggleing from Luo Yuan. Nor had he felt Luo Yuan¡¯s despair. Years of his hard work had gone down the drain just like that. Was he truly willing to ept this fate?

    Why had Luo Yuan not felt despair in the face of defeat? The answer was quite simple: he had still had hope. Even if the hope was small, Chen Feng was able to figure out what Luo Yuan¡¯s hope was, from what he had learned from Chen Yuan.

    A clone! Luo Yuan¡¯s clone was still out here in the outside world. Since Chen Yuan had been able to survive independently after severing his ties with Luo Yuan in the alien world, the same would have been true of the clone here when the real body arrived on the alien world.

    Therefore, though the real Luo Yuan was already dead, in the outside world, there was still a clone. This clone wasn¡¯t as strong as the real body. Based on what Chen Yuan had said, regardless of how strong a clone was, even with the help of the real body, the clone could only reach high-tier true god. This level was still too far from what the real body was capable of.

    Therefore, the clone here would at most be a high-tier true god. Moreover, he would be forever stuck at that level. After all, a clone was still a clone. As such, based on their guesses, the clone Luo Yuan had left behind would never be used to face Chen Feng. After all, if Chen Feng could even defeat the real body, what could a mere clone do?

    That was why the clone would not be used for battle. He would only appear at a certain moment, a certain crucial moment. What would that crucial moment be? Chen Feng sank into contemtion.

    ...

    Somewhere amid the wilderness was an immense pitch-ck coffin. The coffin was covered in seals and nailed securely to the ground by numerous nails as ity dormant within this ce of boundless darkness. It appeared so very sinister. Suddenly, the coffin began to tremble violently. The nails began to vibrate until, ultimately, it all burst apart.

    Bang!

    With a loud boom, the coffin burst apart.

    A figure slowly crawled out of the copsed coffin. His body was extremely stiff, and he had an overcast expression on his face. Evidently, he had been slumbering here for an extended period of time.

    ¡°The real body has died.¡± This was his first sentence. Slowly, he walked out. His appearance was precisely that of Luo Yuan!

    ¡°Before leaving, the real body formed me, the clone. Next, he ced me in eternal slumber, isting me from him. However, I was linked directly to the alien world he controlled. The moment that alien world was destroyed, I woke up. The moment I woke up, some things that originally belonged to only the real body were transferred over to me. At that moment, I became the true Luo Yuan.¡±

    He arranged his thoughts.

    ¡°Now... the destruction of the alien world signifies that the battle has ended. However... since the real body is nowhere to be seen, that proves that the battle ended with Chen Feng¡¯s victory.¡±

    He sighed. His memories began recovering as he fused with the memories that used to belong only to the real body. As of this moment, he was the real body. Everything Luo Yuan had left behind before leaving was for the awakening of this clone here at this ce. In fact, this was a trick he had learned from Chen Feng.

    Since Chen Feng could trick his clone into cutting ties with him, could he not apply the same concept in creating a new clone? This was what he had considered. This was what he had done. Slowly, this new Luo Yuan¡¯s strength grew. As the memories washed over him, he recoveredpletely. This Luo Yuan was nearly equivalent to the real Luo Yuan prior to his departure to the alien world.

    Naturally, he did not have any memory of the events that had transpired on the alien world. After all, this clone had been formed before Luo Yuan left for the alien world.

    ¡°Let me think about it. Based on the memories, I managed to figure out about the existence of Chen Feng. To prevent my ns from being seen through, I used an extremely idiotic method to deal with him. I decided to attack the alien world. I would copse the flow of time there before killing Chen Feng. It seems like that n failed.¡±

    Luo Yuan sighed. He had no idea how the defeat had happened, though.

    However, based on the memories left behind, during his moment of defeat, he should have destroyed the entire alien world. That was how this clone would wake up. The real body had indeed done that. The alien world had been destroyed. What about Chen Feng? Was he still alive? Or had he perished together with the real body?

    For some reason, Luo Yuan wished that both Chen Feng and the real body had perished together. That would be the perfect conclusion. After all, he knew all too well how terrifying Chen Feng was. No matter how one looked at it, in the battle between the real body and Chen Feng, the real body was absolutely superior. Yet Luo Yuan had still suffered defeat. This was quite horrifying. How strong was Chen Feng?

    He was a clone of Luo Yuan. To be precise, he was a duplicate of Luo Yuan. Despite that, there were still minute differences between them. As an example, their strength. The real body had possessed heaven-defying strength at the level of peak true god. As for this clone here, he was merely a high-tier true god. Therefore, despite sharing the same memories and thought process as the real body, the way they dealt with things would be different.

    ¡°If Chen Feng can defeat even the real body, I am not his opponent.¡± Luo Yuan knew himself well. If Chen Feng, that fellow who had defeated the real body, was still alive, he was definitely not an opponent this clone could contend against. Luo Yuan racked his brain and was shortly able to think of something. Perhaps this was also a gift left behind by the real body. After all, the two were one and thus shared simr thought processes.

    Luo Yuan calmly analyzed the situation. ¡°Now, Chen Feng is out there in the open while I am here in hiding. My advantage is Chen Feng not knowing that I am still alive.¡±

    Back then, Chen Feng had tricked him for over 30 years by faking his death. Now, it was his turn to return the favor. He would hide, waiting for the perfect moment to make a fatal strike toward Chen Feng. He was Luo Yuan! Even though he was a mere clone, he still desired to control the world. The little me Luo Yuan had left in this clone was presently burning brightly.

    <h4>Chapter 875: Vestiges of Time</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    Time passed quietly. Chen Feng had returned to the outside world carrying the pce. Silently, he waited for Wang Yao to awaken. He knew that the moment she awoke would be the end of everything. As such, he was waiting. At the same time, he was operating his powerful strength. Slowly, all the powers he had absorbed were fused. With his new godly power, all the other godly powers could only submit. This was easier now after his battle with Luo Yuan, as he¡¯d harvested all of Luo Yuan¡¯s godly powers.

    During this period of time while Chen Feng was waiting, his strength was still growing without stop. The task Luo Yuan had failed even after several decades waspleted by him: bing the world controller. Chen Feng was now a peak true god in the truest sense. He had now reached a height even higher than the previous Luo Yuan. He was even stronger than Luo Yuan had been at his peak. In addition to controlling all godly powers, he had also fully fused the powers. Now, all that was left was waiting for Wang Yao¡¯s awakening.

    ...

    ¡°Is everything progressing smoothly?¡± Duma asked Chen Feng, who was near the pce. Chen Feng had been back for quite a while, yet all this while, he had never left this pce. Reaching this point had been way too hard. He did not wish to see any mistakes. After all, Luo Yuan¡¯s clone was still out there. Even though this clone was incredibly weak next to Chen Feng, he still did not wish to see anything unexpected happening.

    ¡°I guess,¡± he answered after feeling out the aura within the pce. The power of time was converging again. It wouldn¡¯t be that long before Wang Yao finally broke through.

    Duma heaved a breath of relief. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± After hearing about the things that had happened on the alien world, he had indeed been deeply shocked. Even Miss Xiao Yue had not seen thating. Likewise, none of them had ever expected that Chen Feng would actually emerge victorious. This was a total victory.

    Naturally, Duma was not aware that he had also yed an important role in this battle. He had been used as a lie against Luo Yuan. Nevertheless, Duma couldn¡¯t help but wonder if Chen Feng was truly fine. After all, in that huge world of The Crystal Pce, Chen Feng was the only survivor.

    Chen Feng smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The fight has just begun. How can I give up so easily?¡±

    ¡°Begun?¡± Duma nked. Wasn¡¯t it over?

    ¡°The fight with Luo Yuan is indeed over,¡± Chen Feng said calmly. ¡°However, this is merely the beginning of my fight.¡±

    That¡¯s right, his fight. He would not allow Qin Hai and the rest to have died in vain. Since everyone had ced their trust in him, handing over their lives, Chen Feng absolutely had to fulfill his promise to resurrect them. He would definitely aplish this.

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was resolute. He turned around and looked at the pce Wang Yao was in. ¡°I have defeated even Luo Yuan. You...¡±

    Hum¡ª

    Hum¡ª

    Faintly, the power of time continued swirling around. Chen Feng could sense that Wang Yao would be able to break through at any moment, entering the true god stage.

    Suddenly, Duma said, ¡°The wind is blowing.¡± He could feel a gentle breeze brushing past them.

    A smile formed on Chen Feng¡¯s face. ¡°Yeah, the wind is blowing.¡± The wind was here. What should have appeared would now appear. He stood up and ced his palm on the pce. ¡°Senior Duma.¡±

    Duma nodded. ¡°Understood.¡± He knew that his turn to make a move had arrived.

    Bang!

    A wave of the power of time pulsed out. In Duma¡¯s hand was a faint clump of the power of time. This power passed through the pce directly and reached the hall within. The power of time was the only power capable of exerting any sort of influence on the pce, since it was the same kind of power: the power of time. The power that Duma could control was extremely weak. It was so weak that it couldn¡¯t do anything to Wang Yao. However, his task was not to assist Wang Yao¡¯s cultivation. Rather...

    Shua! Shua!

    Faintly, the power of time poured in. Right at this moment, the youngdy within the pce, who had stayed unmoving for a long time, suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes shed brilliantly the moment she opened them.

    This was a power she was familiar with. She knew that this was the power of that old turtle.

    Her emotionless eyes shone brightly. ¡°Are you making your move?¡± Was Duma trying to awaken her? This signified that Luo Yuan had yet to obtain victory, right? A certain memory surfaced. She could remember that thest message she received had been from Luo Yuan. He had told her that Chen Feng was already dead. She had been forced to ept this fact and wait for the moment she finally became a true god. She had her own ns. The moment Chen Feng had died, she had already decided. But now... Duma was trying to awaken her?

    ¡°Are you guys still capable of resisting Luo Yuan?¡± Wang Yao wondered if Duma was the one fighting Luo Yuan now. Shortly afterward, she rejected this notion. She suddenly recalled Duma¡¯s power. It was the power of time. Rather, it was a weak version of the power of time; nevertheless, it was still the power of time. If Duma was together with Chen Feng... right. Wang Yao suddenly thought of another person: Miss Xiao Yue. If she was around as well...

    Suddenly, Wang Yao¡¯s heart throbbed. Perhaps Chen Feng was still alive?

    Bang!

    The moment this thought appeared, her calm demeanor broke. The power that had stayed calm within her for so long instantly erupted, incapable of being held back. These years, she had been suppressing her power. She had been umting power without stop. Firstly, she did not intend to let Luo Yuan borrow her power. Secondly, only by suppressing and umting power would she be able to truly transform during the moment of her breakthrough.

    All along, she had never intended to merely be Luo Yuan¡¯s tool. She was Wang Yao, a person who had been reborn. She had not returned just to be cannon fodder. If she had continued her umtion, during the moment of her breakthrough, Luo Yuan¡¯s victory would be uncertain. But now... there was no longer any need for that.

    Bang!

    A terrifying power of time roiled out. The berserk power sted the pce apart. The moment this power left the pce, the entire world trembled. This was the power of time, a power even the Creation God had not controlled. This was a power that was not supposed to exist.

    Bang! Bang!

    Boundless power pulsed out. Amid the terrifying storm of time, Wang Yao walked out with a calm expression. When she saw that familiar figure standing before the pce, a smile formed on her face. So he was still alive. How good this was. Wang Yao was intelligent. When she saw that they were no longer in outer space, when she saw that only a portion of the pce remained here, she instantly understood what had happened. This fellow had actually gone to outer space to carry the pce back. What a guy.

    A sweet feeling surfaced in Wang Yao¡¯s heart.

    She knew that Chen Feng, who had once been weaker than her, who had once required her protection, had, at her moment of danger, stepped on a cloud of seven colors and rescued her like a prince charming. This was quite clich¨¦, but it was still touching.

    Shua!

    She drifted forth on the current of time to directly reach Chen Feng.

    ¡°You have gotten fat.¡± Chen Feng was in an emotional state of mind. What had remained mere memories for a long time, at this moment, had be tangible again. He felt extremely guilty for letting Wang Yao remain locked up for so long. He was extremely sad, as he had actually forgotten about her at one point. Throughout the years, she had been locked in the room. She had been forced to cultivate day and night, living a hopeless life. What had her life been like?

    The thought of what she had gone through caused Chen Feng¡¯s heart to ache. Fortunately, everything was over now. Wang Yao still appeared as pleasant as ever. The vestiges of time couldn¡¯t be seen on her. This was the truth. After all, with a cursory nce at Wang Yao, Chen Feng found that her height was the same, as were the two clumps on her chest.

    Wang Yao: ¡°???¡±

 Chapter 876 - Decisive Battle (3)

    <h4>Chapter 876: Decisive Battle (3)</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    ¡°I am not small,¡± Wang Yao grumbled.

    Chen Feng shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t believe you. Hearing about it means nothing. Even when looking at it, it might be fake. Only by feeling it with my own hands...¡±

    ¡°Hmph!¡± Wang Yao gave him a furious re, then suddenlyughed. This fellow... was truly still the same.

    ¡°Hehe.¡± Dumaughed dryly by the side. This disy of affection was somewhat overboard. Even Duma, who had lived for so many years, couldn¡¯t take it anymore. As the disys of affection grew more intense, Duma¡¯s face greened.

    Fortunately, Chen Feng still knew what he should do. He told Wang Yao everything that had happened recently. Wang Yao understood what Chen Feng wanted to do as well. What he wanted was to be the world controller. However, this was understandable.

    She stood up and looked at the world around her. This world had been ravaged badly. Half the world had been destroyed by Luo Yuan, and countless life-forms had been enved by him. They lived a life no better than death itself. As for the other half of the world, they could only live on bitterly through constant struggle. This was the present state of the world, a world without any vitality. After all, to Luo Yuan, this world was merely a tool for his return to the past. Why would he treat this world well?

    Therefore, Chen Feng had no choice but to continue Luo Yuan¡¯s n. He had to first control the world, then rewind time. However, he wouldn¡¯t rewind to the era Luo Yuan had wanted. Rather, he wanted to return to the best era this world had ever experienced, the Gic Era he knew of.

    Wang Yao looked at Chen Feng solemnly. ¡°Have you made up your mind?¡±

    Chen Feng nodded. ¡°Mhm.¡± He had long since decided in his heart.

    ¡°Controlling the world isn¡¯t that hard.¡± Wang Yao took in a deep breath. ¡°However, rewinding time is extremely difficult, especially when the rewind needs to stop at a specific point in time. Even though the power of time is at your disposal, it will still be very exhausting. Moreover, you might not be a true god anymore afterward, or maybe you¡¯ll cease to exist,¡± Wang Yao sternly exined.

    In this world, Chen Feng was a true god. He was extremely powerful. Since defeating Luo Yuan, he was unopposable. Without a doubt, he would be able to easily gain control over this world. After all, he still had luck and misfortune under his control.

    Therefore, controlling the world wouldn¡¯t be that hard for Chen Feng. He could easily mold this world as he wished, turning it back into a world filled with vitality, allowing this world to sail smoothly from now on.

    In this new world, Chen Feng was the uncrowned king. Even if he wanted to crown himself, that would not be a problem. On the contrary, rewinding time would be way harder. To rewind the entire world¡¯s time, in addition to the power of time, a huge amount of godly power would be required as well. This power would not appear out of thin air. If so, whose power would be exhausted? Without a doubt, that person would be Chen Feng.

    With Chen Feng as the implementer, with the world as the material, with Wang Yao¡¯s power of time as the catalyst, and with Chen Feng¡¯s godly power as the fuel, the rewind would start. The end result could very well be Chen Feng losing all his godly power. The longer back in time they needed to rewind, the worse off Chen Feng would be. Was this truly what he wanted? Moreover...

    ¡°Luo Yuan and Ye,¡± said Wang Yao, reminding him of those two. Although those two were dead now, if they returned back to a period where the both of them were still alive... Back then, Luo Yuan had identally awakened Ye through his time travel. Now, if Chen Feng was careless, he might awaken both Luo Yuan and Ye.

    At that time, how would the exhausted Chen Feng face them? He would die a miserable death. Therefore, they had to exercise extreme caution when carrying out this n. Rewinding time was not something that allowed any room for mistakes.

    Chen Feng nodded. ¡°I understand.¡± He had thought of all these things.

    Chen Feng¡¯s gaze was resolute as he said, ¡°I have no choice; I promised them that I will save them. Moreover, I have already thought through this whole matter. There won¡¯t be any problems. In this world, nobody can stop me. Nobody can influence me either.¡±

    Chen Feng was sure. With Luo Yuan¡¯s death, he was now the strongest.

    ¡°Mhm.¡± Wang Yao nodded. Since Luo Yuan was already dead, she would not stop Chen Feng.

    ¡°Then let us begin,¡± Wang Yao said.

    ¡°All right.¡± Chen Feng inhaled deeply. ¡°The source of my power is nearly identical to Luo Yuan¡¯s. Therefore, controlling the world will be very easy. The crucial part of the n is rewinding time. I will need your help with this.¡±

    ¡°Understood¡±, Wang Yao replied solemnly.

    Shua!

    Faint godly power roiled out. Chen Feng began to shine with an intense radiance.

    Bang!

    The godly power converged. In Chen Feng¡¯s hands, power unique to the world slowly appeared. In Wang Yao¡¯s hands, power unique to time gathered. Slowly, the two powers fused.

    Bang!

    Finally, the two powers met. A terrifying shockwave swept out. Where the two of them stood, an rming power erupted. A transparent whirlpool formed, a whirlpool containing the power of time, containing everything. Without a doubt, the moment that whirlpool covered the entirety of this world, time would start going backward.

    This was rewinding time. This was how powerful time was. s, right at this instant, when they just started releasing their power to rewind time, a streak of light appeared. This streak of light appeared from a corner they could not see, hidden within the void. There, an illusory figure appeared.

    Swish!

    That person appeared suddenly and charged at them directly.

    ¡°Luo Yuan!¡± Wang Yao cried out in rm. Her eyes went wide. Evidently, she had not expected that Luo Yuan would appear here. This was definitely the clone that Chen Feng had mentioned.

    ¡°You are courting death.¡± Chen Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed coldly. Since he had been aware that Luo Yuan¡¯s clone was still out there, he had naturally prepared for his appearance. A clone? A high-tier true god? In the past, he might have feared such an existence. However, he was now the world controller. He was the peak of this world in the truest sense. Merely Luo Yuan? Chen Feng sneered. ¡°I have been waiting a long time for you.¡±

    Bang!

    Instantly, the power of a peak true god swept out. As a precaution against Luo Yuan, Chen Feng had reserved a portion of his power. This power now poured out and instantly pierced through Luo Yuan.

    Perhaps Luo Yuan had once been formidable, but he was a mere clone now. A mere high-tier true-god clone like him was incapable of posing any threat to Chen Feng, let alone causing any trouble in Chen Feng¡¯s n. Surprisingly, even after being pierced through, the smile on Luo Yuan¡¯s face still remained.

    Luo Yuanughed heartily. ¡°Haha. I knew I wouldn¡¯t be a match for you. However, who told you that I am here merely to cause a disturbance? After all, what you are doing is what I have been trying to do all this while. Hehe, why would I even try to stop you? I won¡¯t stop you. Rather, I will help you!¡±

    Shua!

    A bizarre power suddenly shot out of his hand. It entered the whirlpool of rewinding time. The moment it entered, Wang Yao was rmed.

    <i>Time?</i>

    Wang Yao¡¯s expression shifted. That¡¯s right, the power Luo Yuan had shot into the whirlpool was the power of time. This power was feeble, but when it entered the whirlpool, which had only stabilized with great difficulty, the bnce within the whirlpool immediately shifted.

    ¡°You all have seemingly forgotten that a long time ago, Duma used to wear a wristband as well. I copied his power too!¡± Luo Yuan howled withughter. This decision of his had been correct after all.

 Chapter 877 - Decisive Battle (4)

    <h4>Chapter 877: Decisive Battle (4)</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    Before the time whirlpool, Luo Yuan showed himself. He had always been hiding one fact: he had also copied Duma¡¯s power. Luo Yuan had once thought of studying this power as well. s, Duma¡¯s power of time was too weak,parable to Kong Bai¡¯s branch of transmigration. Therefore, Luo Yuan had only been able to give up on it. Nevertheless, he had still been able to fine-tune the power of time.

    Chen Feng could die over and over again just to hide from Luo Yuan. Luo Yuan was also capable of such minor usages of time. Therefore, he had been killing himself and resurrecting himself at fixed intervals. This was what Chen Feng had used against Luo Yuan back then. Now, this method was being used against Chen Feng. This guaranteed that Chen Feng would never be able to locate him, assuring him that he would be able to stay hidden at all times.

    Of course, he was but a mere clone. However, as far as Luo Yuan was concerned, only his physical flesh was that of a clone. After all, he now possessed theplete memories and thought process of the real body. On top of that, this minuscule power of time was something only this clone had. Luo Yuan had left this power behind before leaving for the world of The Crystal Pce back then so as to hide that he had this power from Chen Feng.

    After all, this was a trump card, an iparably powerful trump card. With this power of time, his thought process was getting infinitely identical to the real body¡¯s thought process. As for this cloned body, it was now the real body. Apart from the absence of the memories of what had happened on the world of The Crystal Pce, he was no different from Luo Yuan himself.

    Therefore, after hisplete awakening, Luo Yuan had continued with the backup n he had prepared back then. This n involved him ambushing Chen Feng. Thus, he had appeared here after sensing the appearance of the power of time. He had been hiding and waiting. Now, what he had been waiting for had finally arrived. This was precisely what he had been waiting for.

    He might be weak now, but he had the power to control the world. The only thing hecked was the power of misfortune, which just so happened to be in Chen Feng¡¯s hands. As far as he was concerned, Chen Feng was equivalent to a key, a key to start rewinding time. As such, it did not matter who started the rewinding process.

    What was truly important was who controlled time after the key was used to start the process. Luo Yuan had decided to allow Chen Feng to be the one to start the process. Chen Feng seeded. He won. s... he was but a key.

    Bang!

    Mighty power poured out of Luo Yuan¡¯s hand. Instantly, this power traversed the world and arrived within Chen Feng and Wang Yao¡¯s whirlpool. This was the power to change everything. Chen Feng had used all his power to start this process. His aura and his godly power were fully being used to control the power of the world. As for Luo Yuan, the only thing he needed to do was ce a timestamp on the process.

    The only thing he changed was the stopping point, that was all. The timestamp Chen Feng had set in the Gic Era was changed back to the era of Luo Yuan¡¯s youth. This was his true goal. So Chen Feng believed that he had won? Indeed, he had emerged victorious from the battle. However, so what? With this as the end result, the one who ultimately lost was still Chen Feng.

    Luo Yuan had needed to deal with two issues to aplish his goal. The first was Chen Feng, who would neverpromise with him. To defeat Chen Feng and take the power of misfortune would take a very long time.

    His second issue was Wang Yao. Even though he had locked Wang Yao up and forced her to cultivate, she had only obeyed because he had been stronger. The moment Wang Yao became a true god, the moment she had terrifying power at her disposal, how could he force her to rewind time as he wished? This was a major issue.

    Therefore, rewinding time was an extremely difficult process for Luo Yuan. However, what if Chen Feng was the one to do it? Everything would fall into ce perfectly. And thus, Luo Yuan had died. Chen Feng would now personally do all this.

    Wang Yao would most certainly agree to help. Therefore, Chen Feng would be able to wlessly start the rewinding process. Yes, Luo Yuan was currently very weak. So what? All Chen Feng¡¯s power had been used to start this process. Many factors needed to be controlled: the rewinding process, time, the timestamp, stability, and so on. Too many things required his focus. As for Luo Yuan, he only needed to exhaust the entirety of his power to alter the timestamp. That was all.

    He had seeded easily. In the end, this world was still his. Chen Feng? Haha. He would die from exhaustion during the rewinding process. He would be sucked dry by the power of time! Everyone would die. Only Luo Yuan would return to that era belonging to himself. Moreover, he would return with his current strength.

    Hum¡ª

    The time whirlpool revolved slowly. That faint power of time started influencing the world.

    Wang Yao¡¯s face fell. ¡°This is bad. The timestamp has been locked.¡± At this point, she could no longer control the rewinding perfectly. Under Luo Yuan¡¯s influence, the rewinding was shifting toward a certain direction. The timestamp left by Luo Yuan was akin to a nail that could not be driven off. Silently, it changed the trajectory of the entire process.

    Finally, Chen Feng understood. ¡°So this is your actual goal.¡± At this point, how could he not understand? Perhaps this had been Luo Yuan¡¯s n all along? From his invasion of the alien world to his present intrusion into the rewinding process, had it all been part of his n? Had he used his life as the price to ensure that Chen Feng would be the one to start this process? What a ruthless guy. To think that he still dared to do something like this even after the betrayal of his clone. He still dared to allow his clone to take over by sacrificing his real body. What a madman.

    ¡°Haha, you have only thought of it now? It is already toote.¡± Luo Yuan howled withughter. ¡°I finally understand. When someone is too strong and nearly unequaled, they will always neglect some things. This applies to both the me before and the present you. Haha, although I suffered one defeat, I am the final victor. Sorry, Chen Feng.¡±

    Luo Yuan lifted his hand, hastening the flow of time.

    Bang!

    The time whirlpool started revolving at a rapid speed and growing in size.

    ¡°No wonder...¡± Chen Feng finally understood everything. It was no wonder that Luo Yuan had died so easily. It turned out that he had intended to die all along. What a terrifying n. He had expected that Luo Yuan mighte himself, yet he had never expected that Luo Yuan to have control over the power of time.

    The corner of Luo Yuan¡¯s mouth curled up, forming a smile. ¡°A perfect n, right?¡± This was his true n. This was the final n he hade up with after improvising on the n Luck Aura had selected for him based on the hot-headed temte.

    Bang!

    The timestamp he had condensed was like a nail that was nailed tightly in the time rewind. Now, the entire world would rewind as he wished.

    <h4>Chapter 878: You Are Still Lacking</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    Bang!

    The whirlpool of time spun. The terrifying power of time started spreading toward the entire world. Under the effects of time, the world began to warp. Change was imminent. After pulling out all his tricks, Luo Yuan had finally reached this point. However, he was somewhat surprised by the fact that Chen Feng was merely watching on with a detached gaze. Not a tiny bit of helplessness could be felt from him.

    Suddenly, Chen Fengughed. ¡°Compared to your real body, you are still somewhatcking.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Luo Yuan had a bad feeling.

    ¡°Timestamp...¡± Chen Feng shook his head. ¡°I truly never expected this. Is this the source of your confidence?¡±

    Chen Feng looked at the center of the whirlpool. There, the timestamp glowed brightly. This was what Luo Yuan was relying on to change the flow of time.

    ¡°You won¡¯t be able to change it.¡± Luo Yuan refused to believe that Chen Feng could do that. ¡°As a third party, I saw clearly how all your power was exhausted. It is impossible for you to still have any reserves.¡±

    That¡¯s right. Chen Feng had no way of reserving any power. What reserves he¡¯d had had already been squeezed out by Luo Yuan. Now, he had nothing to spare. After all, this was an undertaking involving the entire world. Even though Chen Feng was a peak true god, it was impossible for him to still have any power in reserve. It wouldn¡¯t be that easy. If so, what exactly was the source of his confidence? Luo Yuan fixed his gaze on Chen Feng. He was of the opinion that Chen Feng was trying to lie again.

    ¡°I will not fall for your lies,¡± Luo Yuan said with a sharp gaze. During this final moment, his belief was unprecedentedly firm. ¡°Indeed, I have fallen for your tricks many times in the past. Not this time.¡±

    Hum¡ª

    Time was flowing. The effect of the whirlpool had now reached the entire world.

    Chen Feng spoke calmly. ¡°The timestamp is indeed very powerful. This situation is simr to a loaded anti-aircraft gun whose trajectory was changed after the shell was fired. By using all your power here, I am indeed not capable of changing it. I won¡¯t be able to do anything to this timestamp. However...¡± Suddenly, Chen Feng said, ¡°Why should I change it in the first ce?¡±

    Luo Yuanughed heartily. ¡°Because you will die if it remains?¡±

    s, hisugh did notst long before his face froze. That was because, at this precise instant, he saw a red sh streak past. Then... the timestamp vanished.

    Luo Yuan¡¯s face shifted. He turned around abruptly, looking in the direction the red sh hade from. There, a pure-looking youngdy was carrying the timestamp in her arms. One bite at a time, she began to eat the timestamp. On her head were two protrusions that were quite identical to dragon horns.

    Luo Yuan was rmed. ¡°Who are you?¡± The whirlpool had already begun operating. Apart from the few of them who were here at the source of this whirlpool, no other life-forms could hope to enter. That was because all other ces should now be engulfed in the power of time. This was the only ce that was still frozen in time. This youngdy...

    Hold on. Suddenly, Luo Yuan recalled who she was. He recalled that a long time ago, Chen Feng had had a little snake by his side. The snake had been called Xiao Ying. Even though Luo Yuan hadn¡¯t been able to subject the snake to any monitoring, he still had a rough understanding of the snake through Chen Feng. This also included the contract of life and death that Xiao Ying had signed with Ming Yue. However... this Xiao Ying had been missing for a long time now. In fact, it had been many years since she hadst appeared.

    Since when had that tiny snake been capable of taking a humanoid form? Since when had that tiny snake been so powerful? The alien world had already been destroyed; how was she still alive?

    Chen Feng had a faint smile. ¡°I have your real body to thank for this. The alien worldpletely copsed with chaotic time currents everywhere. Even you, as a clone, were no longer able to stay connected to your real body in that situation. Therefore, how could it be possible for a mere contract of life and death to continue binding Xiao Ying¡¯s life with Ming Yue¡¯s?¡±

    <i>I see. </i>Luo Yuan clenched his fists. He was truly clueless about what had transpired over there.

    Fine, he could ept the fact that this youngdy here was powerful. However, what the hell was up with her chewing on the timestamp? Luo Yuan watched on with horror as that youngdy chewed on that shiny timestamp one bite at a time before slowly swallowing it down.

    ¡°How... is this possible?¡± Luo Yuan was utterly dumbstruck. Eaten? The timestamp that even Chen Feng had been helpless against was eaten? What the hell? That was a timestamp formed of the power of time. Apart from Wang Yao, someone else could touch it? Even Luo Yuan did not dare to physically touch that thing. If he dared to swallow it, his personal flow of time would immediately increase by over 10,000 times. Regardless of how long of a life span he had, he would immediately die of old age.

    When something like this that was supposed to alter the fate of an entire world was used on a single individual, it would be greatly amplified. How? He looked at that youngdy. Apart from the horns on her head, which had grown somewhat, no changes could be seen. What the hell had that snake evolved into? He had no answer. However, would he have to ept defeat just like this?

    ¡°No! I can¡¯t ept this!¡± howled Luo Yuan. Once again, he tried forming a timestamp. ¡°Timestamp, form!¡±

    Hum¡ª

    A sparkling radiance swirled around his hands. Once again, a timestamp was formed. Since Luo Yuan had control over Duma¡¯s power, forming this timestamp wasn¡¯t particrly difficult for him. Of course, this new timestamp was clearly weaker than the first.

    Swish!

    Once again, Luo Yuan tossed the timestamp into the whirlpool.

    ¡°Ah ha!¡± Instantly, Xiao Ying¡¯s eyes shone with excitement.

    Shua!

    She charged over, grabbed the timestamp, and once again began eating it. Just like that, in less than two seconds, the newly formed timestamp was eaten.

    Luo Yuan was stupefied. Exactly what life-form was Xiao Ying? She seemed to have been a snake in the past, right? What had she evolved into? Could it be that she had devoured the bloodline of some life-forms and evolved into a dog?

    Swish!

    Luo Yuan tossed out a third timestamp. Once again, the youngdy puffed and charged over before proceeding to eat it. This caused Chen Feng to feel somewhat embarrassed...

    <i>Bro, can you consider the dignity of a dragon before behaving like this?</i>

    Luo Yuan¡¯s heart trembled as he thought of something. <i>This might work?</i>

    Swish!

    He tossed a timestamp in a different direction. The youngdy charged over immediately. Seeing this, Luo Yuan had a pensive look. <i>Perhaps... there is a solution to this!</i>

    Swish! Swish!

    He tossed out several dozen timestamps in a row. The timestamps were scattered in all directions. Since this youngdy loved the timestamps, he would allow her to eat as much as she wanted. It might seem like he had tossed out a lot of timestamps, but only one of them was suffused with power capable of influencing the rewinding of time. Therefore, so long as he was lucky and she did not happen to eat that particr timestamp...

    Shua!

    While Luo Yuan was still lost in thought, wondering which timestamp this youngdy would choose, a red sh started streaking back and forth before him at a rapid speed. Instantly, all the timestamps he had tossed out vanished. With a stupefied expression, Luo Yuan looked at the youngdy, who now had a pile of timestamps in her arms. She started chomping down on the timestamps while the corner of her eyes looked at Luo Yuan in disdain. <i>Which to choose? Hehe. Only a kid would make a choice. As an adult, of course I will choose all of them!</i>

    Luo Yuan was thoroughly stupefied.

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    ¡°I told you; it¡¯s time for this to end.¡± With a tranquil expression, Chen Feng watched as Xiao Ying messed around with Luo Yuan. ¡°In truth, everything was over the moment the real Luo Yuan died. You are, after all, a mere clone. Even though you two share the same consciousness and thought process, you are just a mere clone.¡±

    Luo Yuan began muttering to himself. ¡°How can this...¡±

    Bang!

    The time whirlpool started to seethe. Without the timestamp, the whirlpool was fully activated. The entire world began to rewind. Apart from where they stood, everything flowed backward like the water of a river. Time was now flowing backward.

    Luo Yuan¡¯s eyes were wide open. This was something he had been yearning for even in his dreams. For this moment, he had worked hard for so many years. s, though this was now actually happening, it no longer had anything to do with him.

    Suddenly, Chen Feng said, ¡°Time for you to go.¡±

    Swish!

    With a red sh, Xiao Ying sent Luo Yuan flying away.

    ¡°No!¡± Luo Yuan¡¯s face fell. The instant he was flung out of the area, he vanished amid the current of time. This Luo Yuan was just a clone. Therefore, the moment he touched the current of time, he vanished from existence.

    Bang!

    The time whirlpool erupted with power, bringing them to all the points in time they had once lived in. First was the era of Luo Yuan. They watched as Luo Yuan dominated the world, bing the sole king. Due to time being rewound, what they witnessed was quite amusing. They watched as Luo Yuan transformed from a peak god and the ruler of everything into someone who lost his kingdom.

    Next was the era of Chen Feng. In this era, the world had yet to be split in two. Chen Feng never gotten involved in the affairs of the world. Therefore, the world was able to develop in a positive direction.

    Soon, the era of Ye arrived. The world changed. The human world turned into a single bead that appeared in Ye¡¯s eyes. This was the era where humans suffered most.

    Shua! Shua!

    Slowly, time flowed backward. Right at this instant, a dazzling sh appeared. Just like that, the time whirlpool stopped, forced to a halt here.

    Mhm? Chen Feng was startled. He could sense that the time whirlpool had seemingly gotten stuck on something. Chen Feng looked into the distance. There, Ye, who had always been changing along with the flow of time, stood firmly. His eyes shone brightly. His existence itself was like a nail that was firmly fixing the time whirlpool in ce.

    ¡°Has this moment finally arrived?¡± Ye¡¯s mouth curled up into a smile. <i>¡± </i>I know of your existence, Luo Yuan. I know what your goal is. Therefore, I have been waiting here for you. I might suffer defeat in the near future. I might die, allowing you the control over this world. However, since you are rewinding time, let us do battle once again.¡± Ye¡¯s gaze became sharp. ¡°Hehe. I have been waiting a long time for this moment.¡±

    This was actually the point in time shortly prior to Ye and Luo Yuan¡¯s battle. Due to Luo Yuan, Chen Feng had received a huge gift from Ye. This was how he had stepped into the realm of godhood. Shortly after this, Ye had set off for outer space to battle Luo Yuan. In that battle, both of them had suffered greatly. It seemed like this was the backup n Ye had left behind.

    ¡°Looks like you indeed emerged victorious from that battle.¡± Ye smiled lightly. ¡°However, I will still be the final victor.¡±

    Shua!

    His figure flickered. His entire body was bathed in a resplendent radiance. Like a nail, he fixed the time whirlpool in ce. His body shed forth and instantly reached the center of the time whirlpool.

    ¡°Based on what I know, after activating this whirlpool, you won¡¯t have much power left in you. Here, I am the strongest. Thank you for rewinding time, allowing me...¡± Upon entering the whirlpool, he immediately nked.

    Ye looked at the three before him, stupefied. ¡°Who are you?¡± Immediately afterward, he recalled. This fellow seemed to be that kid named Chen Feng?

    Ye¡¯s face shifted. ¡°Why is it you? Where is Luo Yuan?¡± Could it be that Luo Yuan had allowed someone else to take charge of the time rewind? Was this a precaution Luo Yuan had prepared for Ye? Countless thoughts surfaced in Ye¡¯s mind. As for Chen Feng, he could clearly see the shining fragment held by Ye. That fragment was emitting a familiar power, the power of time.

    Chen Feng sighed. ¡°A timestamp.¡± Ye had actually discovered a certain powerful timestamp containing the power of time. Using that timestamp, he had waited until the time rewind reached this point before freezing it at this moment in time. If Luo Yuan were the one rewinding time, he would truly have suffered defeat here. ¡°Xiao Ying,¡± said Chen Feng.

    Swish!

    Immediately, Xiao Ying shed forth, knocking Ye away. At the same time, the timestamp he was holding was snatched by Xiao Ying.

    Ye was somewhat dumbstruck. What was this? He knew who Chen Feng was¡ªhe was that weak mortal Ye had personally granted a divine seat, allowing him to reach godhood. How had he be strong enough to control this time whirlpool? And there was also that youngdy. Why was her strength so terrifying? Ye was clueless. He found that he couldn¡¯t see through the three before him at all.

    Chen Feng merelyughed. ¡°Hehe.¡± Ye¡¯s n was indeed wless. Unfortunately, he had neglected Chen Feng¡¯s existence. He had not known that in the future, after his own battle with Luo Yuan, Chen Feng had also engaged in a battle with Luo Yuan. Moreover, that battle had been extremely long. Luo Yuan¡¯s and Chen Feng¡¯s strength had grown considerably. Moreover, during the final moments, even those by their side had reached the realm of true god. Ye¡¯s strength could have once been considered powerful. But against the present Chen Feng...

    ¡°You are too weak,¡± Chen Feng said with a tranquil expression.

    Bang!

    Instantly, Ye¡¯s body was flung away.

    <i>I¡¯m too weak?</i>

    Even after being flung away, Ye couldn¡¯t react to this. This was a trap he had set prior to his departure for outer space. From his understanding, that Luo Yuan was nearly equivalent to him in strength. How was he too weak? Right at this instant, he saw the youngdy who had snatched the timestamp from him. She shot him an inquisitive nce before chomping down on the timestamp.

    Ka!

    Thus, time continued to flow.

    ¡°No!¡± Ye was rmed. He knew that the moment time began flowing...

    Shua!

    The moment the time whirlpool started revolving again, Ye vanished into nothingness. This powerful true god had finally vanished as time resumed flowing back to the era prior to the arrival of the gods. This was where the primordial descended. Time continued flowing. Ultimately, it returned to the era Chen Feng was most familiar with: Gic Era.

    Bang!

    Right at this moment, the time whirlpool stopped. The world, having been warped during the rewind process, returned to normal. Blue skies and jade-green waters appeared. The familiar skyscrapers and buildings appeared in their view. Cities brimming with vitality popped up.

    Chen Feng clenched his fists tightly. <i>We... have returned! </i>He had finally returned to the era he was most familiar with. The ancient race had yet to be discovered. The primordial had yet to descend. The gods had yet to appear. This was still humanity¡¯s golden era.

    A smile appeared on Chen Feng¡¯s face. ¡°I like this era.¡± Naturally, returning to this point in time did not signify that he now had nothing to do. At the very least, he had to deal with all those that were supposed to appear in the future before they could grow in power. As an example...

    Chen Feng picked up a wristband and softly whispered into it.

    ¡°Luo Yuan. I aming for you.¡±

 Chapter 880 (END)

    <h4>Chapter 880: End</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Limostn <strong>Editor: </strong>Tennesh

    In outer space, on a huge throne, when Luo Yuan, who was monitoring all of humanity, heard this sentence, he was greatly frightened. Since he was monitoring all of humanity, it was natural that his name was one of the keywords that his filters would immediately catch. He could hear every conversation pertaining to him. He had heard people scold him. He had heard people wanting to get married to him. However, never before had anyone directly conversed with him. He tried to find out who that person was. Regretfully, apart from that single sentence, Luo Yuan failed to gather any additional information about that person.

    Luo Yuan¡¯s heart throbbed. ¡°How is this possible?¡± He was high and above all other humans. He was akin to a god, controlling all humanity. How could information he couldn¡¯t find even exist?

    Luo Yuan frowned. ¡°Is it those fellows again?¡± The truth was, he had discovered the existence of an extremely powerful race on this. On top of that, he had also discovered an alien world called the Twin Horns World. He controlled the flow of all information, yet that person who had just talked to him...

    Luo Yuan felt a chill in his heart. That person had used a newly bought wristband. Moreover, the wristband had only been used once to talk to him. Therefore, Luo Yuan had no way of obtaining any information about that person. This caused him to feel fear.

    ¡°Who exactly are you?¡± Luo Yuan asked in a low voice.

    Right at this instant, a voice suddenly appeared by his ear. ¡°Why don¡¯t you take a guess?¡±

    Bang!

    Luo Yuan¡¯s heart jolted. He turned around abruptly. Instantly, his entire body chilled and all his hair stood on end. Unknowingly, a figure had appeared beside him and whispered into his ear.

    Luo Yuan reined his fear in. ¡°Who are you?¡± He feigned a calm expression and stood up. He knew that a person capable of arriving his side without being detected was not someone he could hope to contend against. However, when he got a clear look at that person, he could no longer control his emotions. That was because he had discovered that this was Chen Feng!

    This was a chess piece Luo Yuan had nted, a chess piece Luo Yuan had gotten from an alien world.

    Luo Yuan was shaken. ¡°Why is it you?¡± He had been monitoring Chen Feng all this while. As such, he had a clear understanding of Chen Feng. How was it possible for Chen Feng to have such strength? The aura he was emanating...

    Chen Feng chuckled. This version of Luo Yuan was truly too adorable.

    The gods had yet to appear. The primordial had yet to descend. Even the ancient race had yet to be discovered. Therefore, this Luo Yuan had copied too few abilities. At this moment, he was merelyparable to a minor god. Of course, this was a level far surpassing all the life-forms in this world at the moment. Unfortunately for him, Chen Feng was now a true god.

    ¡°What do you think?¡± Chen Feng smiled. ¡°I havepleted your n for you. Therefore, I have returned to destroy you, who would destroy the world in the future.¡±

    ¡°n... Future...¡± Luo Yuan¡¯s mind spun as he suddenly realized something. Time rewind! Instantly, he understood everything. It was no wonder that this Chen Feng was so powerful, to the point that his aura alone was so fearful. So it turned out that he, Luo Yuan, had suffered defeat in the future? At the hands of Chen Feng?

    ¡°If possible...¡± Luo Yuan sighed. ¡°Can you erase my memories and my power before sending my consciousness back to that era? Before death... I wish to... have onest look at her.¡±

    ¡°...¡± Chen Feng looked at him silently. After a long silence, he nodded. ¡°All right.¡±

    Bang!

    Chen Feng destroyed Luo Yuan¡¯s body, leaving behind a trace of his consciousness. Like the blinking light of a firefly amid the darkness, the consciousness hovered on the brink of destruction. Chen Feng grabbed the consciousness.

    ¡°Go.¡± Chen Feng pointed at midair. That clump of consciousness traversed through time and space, threading the river of time like a tiny fluttering butterfly. His wings pped with great difficulty. Finally, he reached that era, returned to the ce belonging to himself. There, he saw the entrance of the Gic Union. He saw the young missy was selling flowers there. When she smiled, she looked exceptionally nice. Like a flower, she looked at him with joy.

    ¡°Tell me, which little girl do you fancy?¡±

    His heart throbbed. He soaked himself in the realness of all this. He knew that this was real. He had truly returned to that era, even if he could only stay for a short instant.

    Hum¡ª

    His body began to dissipate. He had known that this would happen. Chen Feng would not allow him to alter the past. The moment the past was altered, the future would change as well. Chen Feng would never do something that stupid.

    However, he was content with this.

    ¡°Thank you, Chen Feng.¡±

    Luo Yuan was filled with gratefulness. His consciousness scattered. Like a fluttering butterfly, he drifted around this young missy before slowly vanishing. The young missy had an odd feeling as her heart started pounding for no unknown reason. She lifted her head to gaze at the sky. There, a flickering butterfly could seemingly be seen. Further and further the butterfly flitted.

    ...

    At this time, with Luo Yuan¡¯s departure, Chen Feng destroyed the huge throne in outer space. This was ultimately the origin of all the conflicts, the origin of that terrifying existence that had conquered the entire world. He would not allow this world to change again. As for the wristbands... Those could be considered to be an excellent invention, discounting Luo Yuan¡¯s control over them.

    ¡°One more thing,¡± Chen Feng said tranquilly.

    Shua!

    He shed forth, traversing the void and directly arriving on the Twin Horns World.

    ¡°Hey, bro, wake up,¡± he said as he patted a certain burial mound. The ground trembled as the Sin God, Ye, awakened. He stared at Chen Feng furiously, totally confused about why this guy would dare provoke him. No matter how weak he was, he was still... Suddenly, Ye¡¯s thought stopped. From Chen Feng¡¯s body, a familiar aura could be felt: true god.

    ¡°Who are you?¡± he asked nkly. He could not remember such a god existing.

    ¡°You don¡¯t need to know that,¡± Chen Feng calmly answered. Different from Luo Yuan, Ye was not a human. He had been enving humans for far too long. One could say that during Ye¡¯s era, humanity had suffered the most.

    ¡°You only need to know that I am a peak true god. I am here to destroy you, toplete my mission,¡± Chen Feng calmly said.

    Shua!

    He lifted his hand and suppressed Ye with ease.

    <i>Mission... Peak true god...</i>

    Ye had a bitter feeling. So that had already developed to this level? True gods were everywhere there, now? Heh, while he had been in his long slumber, the Creation God had actually...

    Pu!

    With a sh, Ye vanished from existence. Even in death, he was still filled with unwillingness.

    ¡°Spend an eternity in your hatred,¡± Chen Feng said calmly. He nced around at the Twin Horns World around him.

    Bang!

    With a casual wave of his hand, the entire world was destroyed. Since Luo Yuan was already dead, it was pointless to keep this iplete world around. The remaining matters would now be easy. Chen Feng returned. He knew that this would be a busy day for him. He went to meet Duma, Qin Hai, Kong Bai, and everyone that had fought by his side toward the end. Their memories up to the point of that battle were transmitted to them.

    This was the only thing he could do. With different memories, they might not necessarily grow into the same people. And Chen Feng did not wish for them to change into different people. Naturally, to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, he had also gotten Wang Yao to lock down the past.

    Now, no matter what happened in the past, the timeline would mend itself. It would no longer affect the future. Those who died would still die. The only changes allowed were minor, insignificant changes. Nobody would be allowed to travel through time into the past.

    After a busy day, Chen Feng had done everything he could do. All threats had been eliminated, with extra care given to the slumbering gods. Chen Feng did not wish to kill them all. After all, these gods included those such as the Forest Goddess, the Luck Goddess, and the Misfortune Goddess, who had once stood by his side.

    Therefore, after a long period of consideration, Chen Feng ultimately created an alien world simr to The Crystal Pce before sending all the gods there. That world would forever be separated from this world. After all, the gods were too powerful and deserved to have a world for themselves. That world was thus named the Kingdom of Heaven. As for the evil gods, Chen Feng did not give them any such opportunity. All of them were cleanly erase, ending all evil at the roots.

    All this was done even though the gods had yet to awaken. After a busy day, everything was finally done by the time night arrived. At night, Chen Feng gazed at the starry sky. He did not participate in Qin Hai and the others¡¯ gathering. After all, he still had an extremely important thing he needed to do. This was something he had always wanted to do. After a long time, Wang Yao walked into the room.

    Xiao Ying giggled and left the room tactfully.

    ¡°You¡¯re here?¡± Chen Feng asked in a low voice.

    Wang Yao appeared nervous. ¡°I¡¯m here.¡±

    Chen Fengforted her. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous.¡± His had trembled somewhat from his excitement.

    ¡°I am not nervous.¡± Wang Yao lowered her head, ying with the corner of her cloth.

    ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Chen Feng said dryly. ¡°Let¡¯s begin?¡±

    Wang Yao inhaled deeply. ¡°All right.¡± Chen Feng approached her carefully and slowly held her dainty hand in his own. The hand he held was like a spotlessly fair jade. The skin smooth was extremely pleasant to hold.

    ¡°I... I will begin,¡± Wang Yao said softly.

    Chen Feng nodded. ¡°Mhm.¡±

    Shua!

    Light swirled around and the two instantly vanished. On a certain mountain range, the earth trembled. This calm forest suddenly started shaking, startling countless life-forms within the forest. Within the forest, two figures could be seen. Gasps could be heard, but what they were doing was aplete mystery. The hoarse gasps of the male interweaved with the gentle gasps of the female. The earth trembled without stop. After a long time, everything returned to its previous tranquility.

    Wang Yao¡¯s gentle voice said, ¡°Do you want to take a rest?¡±

    Chen Feng clenched his teeth and said, ¡°I am fine.¡± Despite that, he sounded weakened. ¡°I don¡¯t understand this. Only a few years have passed. Why has it gone so deep underground?¡±

    Bang!

    With a shovel, he dug at the ground with all his strength. The ground trembled, yet nothing could be found.

    Wang Yao shook her head helplessly. ¡°You are truly...¡± She was also holding a shovel. At present, she was dripping with sweat and gasping for breath. Evidently, this was quite the tiring task.

    ¡°Is this part of your n?¡± Wang Yao asked helplessly. Things seemed to be developing in an entirely different manner.

    ¡°Nope.¡± Chen Feng was somewhat awkward. This task, which should have beenpleted naturally, had ended up this way, forcing them to manually dig. Holy sh*t, this was too weak.

    If he dared to use the power of a true god, the entire world would be destroyed. He feared that this mountain and what he was looking for would be directly destroyed. Thus, he could only dig like a normal person. Fortunately, at this moment, he finally sensed that familiar aura.

    His eyes shone. ¡°We¡¯re there!¡±

    ¡°Wow!¡± Wang Yao clenched her dainty hands, somewhat nervous. Had this moment finally arrived? Chen Feng was sprawled on the ground as he carefully pushed the soil aside. Ten meters deep underground, a huge ice coffin was dug out. This was an icy crystalline coffin. Within was a young couple.

    Chen Feng inhaled deeply. Carefully, he poured some godly power into the coffin. At the same time, he was carefully controlling his power so as to not cause this world any harm.

    Hum¡ª

    The ice coffin slowly melted. Gradually, the icy aura disappeared. Slowly, the young couple recovered to normal temperatures. After a long time, they opened their eyes. nkly, they stared at their surroundings and the two standing before them.

    ¡°Come.¡± Chen Feng pulled over the nervous Wang Yao and, while looking at the young woman, said, ¡°Greet Mom.¡±

    ¡°Mom,¡± Wang Yao called out bashfully.

    The young couple: ¡°???¡±

    The end.
